Babble: Archived Puzzle for Tuesday, January 31, 2006

12:01 am

Griffums

And everything old is new again.
My prediction: 311 wds
My prediction after looking at grid: I dunno

12:01 am

harpjane

311? I hope not!

12:02 am

hootowl

No one yet?

12:02 am

Griffums

Well, we haven't had a real killer in a while. And Babble would not be kind and do that on a weekend. So we're sort of overdue.

12:02 am

hootowl

aah

12:03 am

Deutsch

Hi all,
I'm not usually awake for the flip, But I can't sleep tonight

12:03 am

hootowl

Oh please no. No time to live here!

12:03 am

harpjane

HAH! 174!

12:04 am

harpjane

nice harp, deutsch!

12:04 am

Griffums

Hi deutsch. I have too much other work tonight to play, just waiting to see what's the damage.

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

Hi again -- only 174 -- just wanted to see what was here -- gonna be up for at least the next 2 hours -- will be popping in and out :)

12:04 am

hootowl

That sounds doable. Even has a useable Q!

12:05 am

Griffums

Well, that's doable. But I'm off to work for a while. A volunteer's work is never done, I guess that's why they call it volunteering. (otherwise they'd call it 'work that never gets done,' and who would volunteer for a dumb idea like that?) Later, all.

12:05 am

Deutsch

Grey! How is baby and mother?

12:06 am

Deutsch

Later griffums! I'd like to hear about your volunteer work some time!

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

Doing well, Deutsch -- -though Mom is getting very lonely and impatient to come home -- that is why I will be in and out -- trying ot get last minute prep for homecoming done :)

12:06 am

Griffums

Read all about it, deutsch -
www.friendsofpets.org
Also known as my personal bottomless cause for the last 10 years. Good stuff!

12:07 am

Deutsch

Love, hugs, and kisses for all the family! Welcome home, Mother!

12:08 am

GreyWoulf

I will make sure to pass them on, Deustch, thanks (*hug*)

12:10 am

Deutsch

Griffums, I have bookmarked your remarkable site. You and pets get lots of hugs, too!

12:10 am

Deutsch

(((grey and family)))

12:11 am

sprite

Morning dear gang!
*extra hug for Woulf and family*
How are things today?

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

Pretty good -- reasonable board, and the usual last minute frenzy of work to prep for homecoming :D

12:13 am

GreyWoulf

sprite

S7/32

12:16 am

GreyWoulf

yes, sprite -- especially after I start my new job -- then the only times I will reasonably be able to be around this late will be on the weekends --- but all will be in my thoughts as well :)

12:16 am

zubie

Hi zubie!
Sorry guys, have to take a break, need to get my kids moving, dressed, fed and ready for school. Well, actually they can do it all by themselves, but somehow they appreciate my attention when they go about their business ;)
For those gone to bed when I return: sleep well.

12:58 am

Deutsch

zubie, give us a clue!

12:59 am

zubie

They are t 4's and have to do with birds and branches. :D

12:59 am

sprite

zubie, would one of them be a needle holder? :)
Back for a bit, until I have to wave my kids off.

1:01 am

Deutsch

Bye-bye,sprite's kids!

1:03 am

cybernan

Reached the 100 -- time to get some zzzz's. See you in the morning. :)

1:03 am

zubie

Hmm - not sure. Not sure whether one of the words has a definition as needle holder, I mean.

1:03 am

Krys10

Hi everyone! special Hi to Sprite - long time no chat! The log is less intimidating at this hour than it will be by the time i wake up tomorrow, so I thought I'd take a peek..

1:03 am

sprite

No zzzzzs in the grid, so you will have to look elsewhere indeed ;)
Sleep tight, nan!

1:04 am

Deutsch

"nite cybernan, getting ther myself.
*Yawn*

1:04 am

Blaze

you must be y 4/10 ing....

1:04 am

sprite

Krys10!
Great to see you :) :)
I know what you mean, for us oldies the change in chat behaviour was profound. I remember chatlogs of 20 posts for a whole day :)

1:06 am

Krys10

Yeah, just got overwhelming with all the side conversations etc. Plus the rainy season started and I went back on my no-computer-games diet for a while. It's rained every day for the last three weeks, I swear.

1:06 am

Deutsch

Hi Krys!
getting late. may have to sleep soon.

1:06 am

Blaze

deutsch I keep getting you in trouble to nite... LOL... I think we need some of Sprite's beer.....
Sprite you are almost in the grid tonite...

1:07 am

Krys10

I should get home. Will check in back in 45 or so.

1:07 am

sprite

Sounds depressing, all that rain.
Hm... your diet is another one I have difficulty to maintain, lol.

1:07 am

sprite

Hi Blaze :)
Yes, close but no cigar :(
I have been in a grid though, not so long ago :)

1:08 am

Krys10

It's harder than the no-chocolate or no-ice cream diet, for sure :) Hitting the road now! Treat me with yummy clues and I'll forego the ice cream when I get home.

1:09 am

sprite

It's a deal!

1:09 am

zubie

OK I have to leave for a while; hope that I DO get to finish this one, at least. 109.

Later, everyone.

1:10 am

sprite

You will, zubie. We'll help ;)

1:10 am

Blaze

nitey nite

1:11 am

sprite

We are as close to 'ywis' as to 'sprite' today.

1:11 am

sprite

Time to kiss my kids goodbye, see you in a bit.

1:12 am

Deutsch

Blaze, you may be right. too much beer. I am ambling off to bed (2:11 am) here.
Night all and ((((hugs))))

1:13 am

Blaze

good nite deutsch.... (( hugs))

1:15 am

Blaze

this grid is really flowing tonite... the nite I must do some other work LOL

1:15 am

sprite

Lol... that's a law of nature, I am sure.

1:18 am

Blaze

the t 6/30 is a hilarious word......

1:20 am

sprite

I have T6/27, but no 6/30 yet.
*off to hunt* :)

1:24 am

Blaze

I must do some work now... I will keep my chat log on though

1:24 am

sprite

Got it! Jewish for 'forbidden food' apparently.

1:25 am

sprite

Have fun working, Blaze, and chatting ;)

1:28 am

sprite

Well, at least we know what the inventor of L8 was called, right? Not a very pretty word.
I just LOVED finding the S8, though :)

1:32 am

dalmatian5

Sounds like this grid is a bit easier than the last two we had to struggle through.

1:33 am

sprite

Hi dalmatian! Yes it is, goes like a breeze here. Just need 16 more. And some real nice ones (S8!).

1:34 am

ARB

Please, help on le 5/18 and le 8/60

1:35 am

sprite

Hi Arb, just start out with a name.
For the 8 you need to make it into something chemical.

1:36 am

ARB

thanks -- all I needed was to stop looking in a single direction. Finished!!!

1:37 am

sprite

WTG Arb! Congrats :)

1:37 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks sprite! -- popped back in before recovering my bed from moving furniture :)

1:38 am

sprite

((((((Woulf))))))
Enjoy your last night of undisturbed sleep, dear friend :)

1:40 am

sprite

This left uppercorner is driving me nuts, btw. If that L had been an S, I think I would have found at least 50 extra words by now.

1:41 am

GreyWoulf

undisturbed, she says --- Ha!

I still am trying to figure out the logistics of installing the new baby seat into the car (a Saturn, no less -- a more car seat unfriendly car I have never seen) in the rain while keeping my daughter out of trouble ;D

1:41 am

Anuja

hi guys... how many wors are we looking at?

1:42 am

sprite

174, Anuja.
Poor Woulf, LOL!
Believe me, in a week or so, you will agree wholeheartedly that this was undisturbed. But you won't mind :)

1:43 am

GreyWoulf

so how about a clue for the s8?

1:44 am

sprite

What would bite you if you would stick your hand into the toolbox of a carpenter.

1:46 am

sprite

Compound word.

1:46 am

GreyWoulf

Ah! nice clue :) made me think for a bit!

1:47 am

GreyWoulf

the compound words always get me -- I know to look for them, but I always try to link the wrong ones ;D

1:48 am

sprite

I know! Got the same thing with them. Still, finding one like this is fun, isn't it?

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

Indeed!

2:02 am

sprite

Done! Can I help with another clue? Otherwise I am off, have to go shopping for my daughter's birthday.

2:03 am

broll

W7/60?, please

2:04 am

sprite

Hi broll!
The act of moving your hand in a certain way.

2:05 am

Krys10

Back! with kitty and ice cream and laptop in bed. Thanks for all the clues while I was gone :)

2:05 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry sprite -- stepped away for a bit to uncaover part of my bed :)

Happy birthday to your daughter!

2:06 am

broll

2:06 am

macadam

Morning all.Just a flying visit to get the grid.GW he`s beautiful.Congratulations to you both.

2:07 am

sprite

It's Friday, her birthday, but I need to go shopping without her, which is a bit of a challenge ;)
She so much wants to know what we will be giving her, she doesn't give me any room to buy things, lol. Good thing she has to go to school.

2:07 am

sprite

Hi macadam! :)

2:08 am

GreyWoulf

2:08 am

lottijw

Hi mum :)
Hello again everyone :)

2:08 am

Krys10

GW, congratulations!!!

2:08 am

GreyWoulf

That's right -- you mentioned the date before the c-section got moved up -- well happy b-day anyway as I may not see you before then :)

2:09 am

GreyWoulf

Thank you, Krys :)

2:09 am

macadam

2:10 am

2:11 am

macadam

Bye sprite

2:11 am

Krys10

'night Sprite - good to run into you again!

2:12 am

GreyWoulf

Well due to distance, macadam, our schedules are necessarily off -- and once he gets home -- who knows when I will get to Babble -- hopefully I will be able to do the late night (for me) Babble on the weekends :)

2:12 am

broll

bye sprite

2:12 am

macadam

What is the theme for today please.

2:12 am

lottijw

Ducks!!!!

2:13 am

macadam

I`ll keep looking for you.Your schedule is going to be hectic.(as if it wasn`t already!)

2:14 am

GreyWoulf

Sounds good, macadam ;D

2:14 am

macadam

Just going to find a duck.Back soon.

2:20 am

2:20 am

Jera

Morning all... another fun-filled day in Babble-land?!

2:23 am

lottijw

Hi Jera :)

2:23 am

broll

gw - same beginning as word above, strange ending (go down, then clockwise)

2:23 am

sha

any clues for the lu-5-16 pleez

2:24 am

Jera

I think I've found the solution... I get up in the middle of the night to take my painkillers, & Babble while I wait for them to kick in... might as well use my time wisely rather than tossing & turning!

2:24 am

CJ162003

sha had a "r" to the word above it

2:26 am

sha

thanks cj162003

2:27 am

CJ162003

your welcome

2:27 am

lottijw

Brilliant idea Jera.....Hope they kick in at a good time to walk away though and not when you`re on a roll :)

2:28 am

Jera

Concentrating on the grid takes my mind off the waiting... we'll see if I can Babble without meds, I suppose, LOL!

2:30 am

macadam

Lotti,any chance of the book arriving today?

2:33 am

lottijw

2:35 am

macadam

HI everyone, I have my f/u appt with the doctor re my knee this am. Am planning to return to work tomorrow :( Have really enjoyed spending lots of time with you playing as long as I want.

6:34 am

Jacula

Afternoon, Adsman.

6:40 am

Atalante

hi Jac and Adsman!

6:41 am

Uneaixoise

howdy, all!

6:47 am

Adsman

Hi Uneaixoise

6:49 am

Atalante

so there's a SA8 ... has anyone got a clue for the other one?

6:50 am

Jacula

Hi Atalante & Une. Do you my ducks? They live on my little barrel pond.

6:51 am

Atalante

cutey ducks! I was trying to find a pic of my duck I had as a kid, but I dont think I've got any photos of her on my laptop, so I settled for a colourful duck instead!

6:55 am

gramma

I made it over the gap. Thru wind and rain and snow...It's Gramma on the go!

6:58 am

Uneaixoise

great idea, atalante! refresh to see me with one of mine (in tub)

6:59 am

Atalante

awwwww!

6:59 am

Uneaixoise

one of our Easter ducks grew to adulthood and we gave him to our local park . . . we could always recognize him from the streak of grease on his back from waddling under the car to get away from our very curious dog!

7:01 am

Jacula

*Whispers. 'We had roast duck on Sunday'. Sorry!*

7:02 am

Atalante

roast duck *is* nice ... very nice!

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

blasphemy!!!!

7:03 am

Atalante

though I don't ever eat it! Since I had ducks as a kid I can't - the only reason I know its nice is because my evil husband gave me some once and told me it was pheasant or something similar *frowns*!

7:03 am

Jacula

Good morning...my! things are certainly just ducky here today. Good name for this grid: On the Doubles. Any help for the last two fe's is welcome...

8:06 am

jrs

Good morning, everyone. Have the laws of Babble been suspended??? I just typed in fe6/30 which shouldn't exist in this grid because it means using the 'e' twice. (I typed it in to get it out of my system.) Lo and behold, after much thought, it was accepted ??!!!

8:11 am

jrs

Never mind, the world is back on an even keel. I refreshed, and fe6/30 disappeared. Oh, well, it was an exciting moment in an otherwise, dull, grey morning.

8:11 am

ExWren

Hi folks,
I just heard that I have a new grandson, weighed in at 8lb 3ozs, but no name yet, they were expecting a girl! So that puts paid to Amelia Jane eh!

8:13 am

Angelsong

what a happy day, Ex-Wren! I'm glad he's here!

8:14 am

seanemcd

ExWren, please don't tell me a story like that. My wife and I are expecting a baby girl in the very near future. We've had to book a plane ticket for her in the name of Regan Elizabeth. If it turns out that she's a he, we might have some problems!

8:15 am

seanemcd

ExWren, congratulations BTW. Didn't mean to be rude!

8:18 am

ExWren

sorry about that sean, I suppose 'he' could still travel under the name of Regan?
Just goes to prove that you can't believe everything you are told.
BTW, my daughter in law definitely DIDN'T want a boy!!

8:20 am

seanemcd

I really don't mind whether it's a boy or girl. Fit and healthy will do me just fine. It just might be quite interesting!

8:25 am

Judi

Morning, all. Not off to a good start here today. The computer geeks descended on us yesterday. I've lost all of my bookmarks and my Mozilla browser. Had to re-install. Them varmints are pressing their luck when they come between me and my Babble!

8:27 am

Angelsong

Judi...have you tried storing your bookmarks online?

8:28 am

Judi

Angel, I will do that eventually. I'm not going to bother now though, as the geeks have not finished messing about yet.

8:38 am

gramma

Judi, I don't understand what you're talking about w/computer geeks. But I also lost my bookmarks. Whassup with that?

8:41 am

Judi

Gramma - they are "upgrading our system" through a proxy server. Not the first time that such an upgrade has thrown a wrench into our comfortable routine.

8:42 am

Ho Hum

Can anyone help with a clue for the re5/18 please.

8:44 am

gramma

ok. I don't think I need to understand anymore. I was quite pleased w/myself, when I went from dusting the computer to actually turning it on. And look at me now...they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Bah humbug.

8:44 am

gramma

HoHum pale again

8:46 am

Ho Hum

8:52 am

Movieman, a marge-shaped box?! funky biscuits...

10:03 am

Miyavi_fan

Nice one Jera! XD

10:03 am

Jera

I know the feeling EB... the best way for me to finish is to start early... there comes a time when it's just not worth the late night effort...

10:03 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Judi! I've been lurking rather than chatting for a while, that's why :)

Thanks Easty :D

10:04 am

EasternBlue

Miya - did you blow up your chem lab?? Singe the eyes of your teacher??

10:04 am

Jera

Does anyone need some quick help... my head is about to explode from the jackhammer across the street... plus I gotta keep an ear out for the plumber...

10:04 am

macadam

Hi my litle lurking pal.Nice to see you back.

10:05 am

Miyavi_fan

Easty, I wish...we were handed out some blodge assignments, and we were told we'd be testing samples of animal tissue. One group were told they'd be testing hair, and one of them reached up and yanked out a handful of blond from my head :/

10:06 am

EasternBlue

Jera - so far so good...over 1/2 way & still finding words!! thanks!

10:06 am

Miyavi_fan

10:06 am

Jera

Okey-doke... I'll check back in later... they gotta take a lunch break, right? RIGHT???

10:07 am

EasternBlue

Miya - OUCH!!

You could always tell the beast that did it, you'd be happy to do animal testing on their brain, but you're not inclined to hurt stupid, defenseless beings!!

Hi Macadam!!

10:07 am

macadam

Sounds like you need a hug Miyavi.((((((hugs)))))) here are several from me.

10:07 am

Jera

*laughs hysterically... sobs quietly... goes to check on valium supply*

Hi Eastern Blue.Love the duck.

10:09 am

mamabear

Good Morning!!! Love your duck, EB!!!!

10:09 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Easty! I'll remember that next time I see him. I think he just had a stupid moment, though...he was sitting there staring at the chunk of my hair in his hand like he didn't know what he'd done! I was proud of myself for not crying though! :)

10:09 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Mama! :)

10:09 am

Hi EB!!! Good to see you, too! I am hanging in there. Trying not to take life too seriously.

10:11 am

EasternBlue

Miya - you're braver than I...it hurts like H-E- double hockey sticks when your hair is pulled...

10:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Don't worry about it Mama...they're just idiots :)

10:11 am

EasternBlue

Mama - love your 'duck bear' ...where do you find them all??

10:11 am

mamabear

EB - Believe it or not, I googled "Bear in Duck Costume" and low and behold...... Google is amazing

10:12 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao Easty! The best thing was that my booooyfriend *flutters eyelashes* was sitting only three seats away, and he had a go at them in front of the whole class :D

10:13 am

mamabear

Nothing like having a boyfriend defend your honor!!! Almost makes the hair loss worth it!! LOL

10:13 am

EasternBlue

Miya - BOYFRIEND?? Do we (meaning all your Babble elders!!) approve of you DATING??? LOL!!!

He sounds like a nice fellow!!

10:13 am

Hi all .Im so excited i have finally worked out how to change my icon (only self taught on computer)

10:17 am

Hi caitlyn! Good job!

10:18 am

musicmom

Hey check out my duck!

10:18 am

mamabear

cute caitlyn!!! looks like you have all your ducks in a row!!!!! Good job!

10:18 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Caitlyn! :)

10:18 am

Lupe613

EEww! How morbid!! LOL

10:18 am

Judi

Lupe, Musicmom, Caitlyn - greetings. Er, looking a little plucked there, Musicmom.

10:19 am

musicmom

Hehe. I wasn't thinking morbid. I was thinking dinner.

10:19 am

Lupe613

Hi Judi! How are you?

10:19 am

mamabear

funny, musicmom!!!!! I had an icon last night that had a duck taped to the wall, but I took a vote and the bear in a duck costume won!
Gotta get back to work. Later, all!

10:19 am

Lupe613

HAHA - musicmom...

10:19 am

Lupe613

later mama...

10:19 am

Judi

I'm good, Lupe. Couldn't finish yesterday's puzzle. Back spasms prevented me from sitting at my computer.

10:20 am

Lupe613

sorry about that Judi - hope you're better. I didn't finish because I rarely finish!

10:21 am

Judi

Somewhat better today. Vicodin and Motrin helping a great deal. At least I can make it through work today ( I hope!).

10:21 am

musicmom

Sorry to hear about your back. That is a terrible pain. Bye mama.

10:23 am

Judi

Thanks, Musicmom. Waiting to start physical therapy for it on the 10th of Feb. (that is if the insurance company approves it. Rat bastards refused chiropractic, so I'm in the begging and finger crossing mode now).

10:23 am

musicmom

kettles boiling brb

10:23 am

Lupe613

HMO Judy?

10:25 am

Judi

Unfortunately, yes, Lupe. Blue Cross HMO used to be really accomodating. I guess they had a changing of the guard recently because it's suddenly like pulling teeth to get referrals approved. Meanwhile, they're happy to keep paying for my prescription pain meds. Go figure.

10:26 am

Lupe613

I've the same Blue Cross Blue Shield Advantage HMO - not sure what "advantage" they're referring to....

10:28 am

Judi

I think HMO stands for "How May we Overcharge you"?

10:28 am

Lupe613

LOL - I think your right!

10:28 am

musicmom

UGH fighting with the insurance is worse than the pain. Now I really feel bad for you!

10:29 am

Ho Hum

I'm missing 2 words to finish, cany anyone help me out:
wa7/70
re6/18
thanks in anticipation.

10:29 am

Lupe613

sorry ho hum - just started, haven't gotten that far...

10:30 am

Ho Hum

LOL np lupe

10:31 am

musicmom

I'm not that far either. If you refresh, I have a cuter duck:-)

10:32 am

Judi

Much better, Musicmom. The other one was making me hungry. I wanted to roast and baste it in cherry demi glace.

10:33 am

musicmom

Yeah I was getting hungry too and my chicken and dumplings in the crock pot tonight wasn't going to measure up.

10:34 am

Lupe613

oh yeah - better musicmom

10:35 am

Flicking back, I thought HMO stood for Health's Money-making Organization *shrugs*

10:43 am

10:44 am

Judi

Hiya, Evanadine. We're just too busy yakking when we should be babbling.

10:44 am

Tbear, if it were Miyavi, do you seriously think I would have held on without telling you this long?! I'd have pounced and told you within the first five seconds of coming online! ("hi everyone! MIYAVI IS MINE HAHAHAHA!")

10:51 am

I adore your icon, Caitlyn. It's pink! and quite a pretty setting for such droll ducks.

Miy: I have a feeling you will not lose your sense of who you are, or have it distorted by boys. This is key, I think. I read back in the log about the hair-pulling -- what a brute! So glad you had bf there to advocate for you when you must have been, to say the least, startled.

Eastern, your icon is as precious as you are.

11:35 am

caitlyn

Thanks mab........only found out today how to change icon lol

Hi, is any one else having trouble getting to Babblers Anon today?

12:16 pm

You're the second person to say that, Peri. I will post the second letter list in my profile, as missy did the other day. Just give me a sec.

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

rather surprised at a certain TW4 thats in the puzzle today...
wow

12:19 pm

periwinkle

evanadine, hadn't noticed that word til I saw your post, it has been in puzzles before

12:19 pm

mab

okay. second letter list is in my handbag.

12:20 pm

kristinc

Eva...just arrived. I see you settled on Daisy. Nice choice!

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

i understand some of the slang we use is often a real word meaning something else...
but when even the dictionary defines it as slang--and vulgar, at that--and it has no other meaning, does it really have to be in the puzzle then?

i mean, i thought slang wasnt supposed to be acceptable...

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

kristinc -- seemed to be the fave last night, so i appeased the masses.
;)

12:21 pm

mab

You know good old Disable, evana -- no rhyme or reason.

12:21 pm

Babbler

hi EvaNadine : )

I'd say the same about the C word that's always accepted. Never acceptable in my book!! : /

12:21 pm

EvaNadine

heh, truly!

12:21 pm

Judi

Back from lunch.

12:22 pm

periwinkle

mab, thanks so much for the 2nd letter list :)

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

i agree babbler!
i had a friend who thought he was being funny + called me that...he didnt think it was so funny when he had my handprint across his face!

12:22 pm

mab

my pleasure.

hey, judi.

12:22 pm

Lupe613

Back for more babbling - boss is out for the rest of the afternoon!

12:23 pm

jaelithej

Hmm sometimes I think it's good to have offensive slang in the puzzle. Sometimes people use offensive words without really knowing their history or what they really mean . . . looking it up in the dictionary might give some people pause before they use the word again.

12:23 pm

Siamese Lady

anyone else having problems with opening babblers annon?

12:24 pm

Babbler

A lot of swear words have lost their meaning. Except for the C word. Still seems to be as offensive as ever.

12:24 pm

mab

hi Lupe!

Fabulous, evana!

12:24 pm

jaelithej

Then again, that would require people to actually look the words up . . .

12:24 pm

EvaNadine

i have no problem with offensive words that have a meaning/hitory outside of being offensive -- as many of them do.

i just take issues with the ones like todays that were created soleley to be offensive...
i cant help it.

12:25 pm

Babbler

I don't mind today's, it sounds so funny. But the C word, I have a problem with.

12:25 pm

mab

I think I understand, eva. The racial/ethnic slurs make my skin crawl.

12:25 pm

Siamese Lady

can someone tell me the word count?

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

babbler -- have you ever seen deuce bigalow, eurpoean gigalo?

theres a very funny term using todays offensive word...hehe

12:26 pm

periwinkle

174

12:27 pm

mab

174.
(second letter list is in my handbag as babs anon seems to be sticky today)

12:27 pm

Siamese Lady

Thanks Periwinkle. I can't open the babs anon today for some reason.

12:27 pm

periwinkle

I couldn't either

12:27 pm

Babbler

no evanadine, I haven't!! : )
A lot of comedians use today's word. It just sounds so funny! And in the north west of England, where I'm from, it has changed its meaning to a sharp slap or good thump! : )

12:28 pm

EvaNadine

in the movie, they refer to the male appendage as a TW**cicle

hehe

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

i guess its much like any other derrogatory term...
with african-americans and the N word...
women and, well, several words, but mainly the B word...
each group seems to have the one word that they are trying to turn around and give new meaning to -- if you are within that group, using the word has a certain kind of power, but having it said to you it has another kind of power entirely.
basically, whichever word it is, if youre not part of that group, you really cant use it, even in jest. maybe *especially* in jest...

12:35 pm

periwinkle

got over 100, taking a break, may be back later. This is the last time I will be able to play at this time of day
:(. going back to work tomorrow. Been out for two months with my knee injury and then knee surgery. Not looking foward to it.

12:36 pm

mab

That reminds me of a news item about Britain curtailing fox-hunting; the RSPCA or someone pointed out that allowing dogs to rip apart foxes is cruel.

Some old blueblood fatty replied 'then I shall hunt with bitches!' meaning that dogs are male.

12:37 pm

periwinkle

I will be able to play on weekend and sometimes after work if I am not too tired. It's been great fun though playing as much as I want to every day.

Full time, I need the money

12:57 pm

12:57 pm

12:58 pm

atlante-
well, poetically it's snot that you sp4

atalante,
some american class at its most refined

1:08 pm

Is there phlegm involved? I thought it was just sp4-ing.

1:10 pm

smaller

mab,
almost, lugi almost counted, but nope

1:11 pm

mab

but, I mean a lugi; is it more than saliva, as in saliva with phlegm? Not to beat a dead horse...

1:12 pm

bunnyvicious

Yes Mab, hack up everything in your throat when your congested, and there you go! New word of the day!

1:13 pm

mab

yech.

1:13 pm

Atalante

I'm sooo glad I asked now! *giggles*

1:14 pm

smaller

mab,
i always though it had stuff in it. otherwise it would be called just sp4. so it's sp4 plus so much more.
(if you say that last part out loud it rhymes)

1:14 pm

mab

Favorite word of the day: fr4/10, the dance. Unless it has some other vile meaning.

1:15 pm

Congested amphibian?

1:16 pm

smaller

LOL bunny!

1:18 pm

When I was a kid, boys enjoyed sucking on balled up bits of paper and then sp4ing it. Boys and men sp4 so much, at least in the us. I don't understand the need.

1:18 pm

Lupe613

So, smaller, how's the weather?

1:18 pm

mab

or a dancing amphibian?

1:18 pm

Atalante

whereas sp4 only means (I think!) throwing up / vomiting over here

What is the correct term for a group of ducks?

There are several different terms used to refer to a group of ducks. Mostly, it depends on what species of ducks are in the group. Paddling, skiff, raft, team and dopping are just some of the terms used.

It also depends on whether the group is on the ground or in flight. For example, a group of mallard ducks on the ground is call a â€œsordâ€, but when in flight, it is called a â€œflockâ€ (as are all ducks in flight).

(from Ducks Unlimited....)

OK - MAMA. a friend of mine just sent me an e-mail. Apparently someone was trying to get her to pull over yesterday near Halsted/Roosevelt by beeping and flashing a badge. She called 911 and they informed her that he was not Police. Be careful out there. Not sure where you live in Chicago, but this is a good reminder for us all to be alert/aware of our surrounding.

1:50 pm

mab

Ooops, you're right, hydra (how embarrassing). A kittel is what a jew is buried in! Sorry.

1:50 pm

re 6/18 and 5/10? please

5:36 pm

Minski

RE 5/10 ~ to fasten your shoe again

5:36 pm

Babbler

re6/18 - sounds like you might be a teenager again (almost)

re5/10 - your shoelaces are undone.

5:37 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Thank you Minski and Babbler..

5:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Minski -- thanks -- a bit slow on the response here -- understandably, I hope ;D

5:42 pm

cybernan

spoke too soon -- missing one of the lta 5/18's -- have the one that is one vowel removed from the ivory to***

5:43 pm

doxy1lover

ta5 - start with the previous ta5, remove the end and add ie

5:44 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Nan- add two vowels at the end

5:44 pm

Jacula

The other ta5/18 uses the same first 3 letters as the other but has a short 'for example/for instance' to end it.

5:48 pm

cybernan

Thank you, -- got it and find that I have one more!!!

ne 4/4 -- have the one with the double consonant at the end and have tried every other 4/4 combo -- or so I thought!

5:50 pm

WE5/18 - Plural of the we4 before it.

6:30 pm

cybernan

we 5/18: little ones
we 6/36: itsy bitsy te*** we*** -- add a consonant into the last one.

6:31 pm

Jacula

te6/18 - you might stand at the edge of a cliff and te**** on the brink.

6:31 pm

Vicuna

we6/36 - another cutesy word for small (usually paired with ee--)

6:31 pm

cybernan

ti 6/27: boob + french iron

6:32 pm

6:36 pm

pinecone05

good job gw!

6:36 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Pine ge 4/6 like the cheese but change to G

6:37 pm

Jacula

pinecone - 1st g is a ge4 - think '*** * life!'
2nd g is ge5 (plural of above).

6:37 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

gi 4/7 - what you give to a good server but change to a G

6:37 pm

pinecone05

ty kristina ...don't know what it means..I'll look it up

6:37 pm

Jacula

gi4/6 - Scottish for 'given'.

6:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry I can't stick around now, but Kritianna saw that I finished and wants my time :)

we 4/8 one of the last two..

THANKS in advance

6:53 pm

Jacula

There are 2 te5/10's - is it the one after the things that grow in your jaw that you want? If so, think 9 plus 1 + an alien who wanted to 'phone home'.

6:54 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Thank you..

Now only si 6/18 and we 4/8...

6:55 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

NOW only si 6/18...

6:55 pm

Jacula

si6/18 - archaic past tense of what you did when you got to your chair to play this game. If that doesn't work, try this: If you fall instantly in love with something/someone you could be said to be smi***. Take out the start of the fingerless glove!

6:56 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

THANK YOU SO MUCH Jacula...

I'M DONE...

Now I need to leave and pick up my little one..

Are you done?

6:57 pm

Jacula

I was done hours ago, K. Happy to help! I love giving clues - just wish Dr_God would pay me for it. LOL. You go and get your little one. Have fun.

6:58 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Thank you.. Your great at giving clues!!! Take Care and see you tomorrow.. Bye

6:58 pm

Jacula

Byeeee, K.

7:13 pm

inge

Help. This is my last word. pe 5/12 , the one in the middle of the pe's right after another 5/12. Can someone help me???

7:15 pm

inge

Its just above the one meaning small

7:16 pm

Vicuna

right before the pe5 as in pe- point, there is a pe 5 that's a boy's name (my son, in fact) as in "to pe- out"

7:16 pm

Jacula

pe5/12 - Boy's name meaning 'rock'. If something is dwindling, it may be said to pe*** out. Think The Who's Pe** Townshend.

7:18 pm

inge

I have that "boy". My list shows another 5/12 right below it

7:19 pm

Jacula

Do you have the pe6/21 meaning 'Small'? If so, the work you seek has no vowel at the end.

7:20 pm

Vicuna

there are 4 pe5/12's: hammer heads, boys, small (as in pe-- point), and a woman's slip or p--coat (but without the coat)

7:21 pm

inge

Thanks Jacula. That did it. My computer is having a nervous breakdown. But I am donnnnneeee.

Jacula

*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR INGE*~*~*~*~

7:24 pm

Tim

I'm back...tr6? and last te5/12?...please.

7:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Tim. Last te5/12 is the plural of the te4 before it.

7:26 pm

Jacula

tr6/30 is all of the word above it + something you say when 'the lightbulb of enlightenment' goes on in your head.

7:26 pm

Vicuna

the last te5/12 would be its own name if there were ten of them...

7:27 pm

Jacula

BTW, Hello Vicuna. Excuse my manners! Everytime I see your name I think of my beloved pine table and chairs because it was my first set of new furniture and was bought from a firm with the same name as yours. It's still doing good service nearly 30 years on.

7:28 pm

Tim

thank you jac and vic..dont know how I missed that tr6. yeah right!!!

7:29 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Jacula. My goodness, I was thinking of the South American quadruped... But I guess tables and chairs are quadrupeds, too.

7:29 pm

Jacula

But, Tim, surely the wa7/60 has to be the daftest word of the day?

7:30 pm

Jacula

Vicuna - educate me. What quadruped is that?

7:31 pm

Tim

Yes I'm very good at wa7/60...have it mastered

7:32 pm

Vicuna

Actually, at least the wa7 is in my dictionary, but there's no sign of that tr6. After all, I'm constantly commenting on the delicious wa7 emanating from the Indian restaurant in town... (Except maybe not in those very words.)

7:32 pm

Jacula

Tim - I had no idea you were Royalty! LOL. (You DID mean the offical word, didn't you?? Looks *shocked*.)

7:32 pm

Vicuna

It's the vicuna, of course! :) It's in the same family as llamas and guanacos.

7:32 pm

Jacula

or even the 'official' word!

7:33 pm

Tim

good waver....thats me.

7:33 pm

Jacula

Tim. LOL.

7:35 pm

Tim

I can only find 2 ti words .....WhatsUp.....:-(

7:35 pm

ExWren

Can't concentrate I'm afraid. Too much excitement for one day. My youngest son's wife gave birth to a gorgeous son this morning. We went to the hospital this afternoon and I had a cuddle.
No name yet, because according to a scan, they were told it was to be a girl, and only chose a girls name, so now Amelia Jane won't do now!!

7:36 pm

Jacula

Vicuna - I will Google it! It's very educational is Babble; not only do your learn the meanings of new (and sometimes weird) words, but you get to talk to people from all over the world and learn from them also. What could be better?

7:36 pm

Vicuna

Maybe Emil John? Congratulations!

7:36 pm

mab

Congratulations, Ex-Wren! That's wonderful news.

7:37 pm

Tim

congrats wren.. ahhhhhhhhhh

7:37 pm

gwenski

How bout just 'A.J.'?

7:37 pm

Jacula

ExWren - CONGRATS! That's 3 Babble babies in a week. 2 grandchildren (Doxy's is the other) and GW's new arrival.

Good thing the theme is 'Baby Shower' tomorrow!

7:38 pm

Vicuna

Speaking of children, I need to go start another load of laundry. Does anyone need any clues before I go?

7:43 pm

Jacula

Sorry Vicuna - I was off seeing to laundry. LOL. I don't need any clues, thanks.

7:45 pm

Vicuna

No, I know you've been done for ages, Jacula! But there are usually lots of silent types struggling away. I am usually one of them.

7:46 pm

Tim

sp6/33?......sa8????

7:46 pm

Jacula

And right on cue, Tim returns! LOL.

7:47 pm

Jacula

sp6/33 - one who vomits.

7:47 pm

musicmom

sa 4/8 what a fresh cut log is....

7:47 pm

Tim

thats me ......waving and struggling....lol..:)

7:47 pm

Vicuna

sp6/33 - one who sp4/9's (in the spirit of the day, an infant might well be one of these!)
sa8 - compound word: jaggedy edges on a wood-cutting implement

7:47 pm

Jacula

sa8 - saw a gret clue for this earlier in the day - 'What would bite your hand if you put it into a carpenter's toolbox'.

7:48 pm

Jacula

*or even a greAt clue.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Hi MusicMom!

7:50 pm

musicmom

Okay I'm going back into hibernation --- sorry tim - no help at all.

7:50 pm

Tim

you were right jac.....GREAT CLUE....got em both, thanks vic and jac..B-}

7:50 pm

Tim

hello musicmom..

7:51 pm

musicmom

Hi Jac. I'm here for about 10 minutes and then I'll probably hang out with my husband. Back around 11.

7:51 pm

musicmom

hi tim!

7:52 pm

Jacula

MusicMom - Maths isn't my forte. I have to try to remember that the times on Babble are about 6 hours behind the time here in UK.

7:53 pm

musicmom

I'm in the Eastern Time Zone it is 8:52 p.m. here. Greg and I usually play PS2 or watch t.v. from 9 - 11 (after the kids go to bed). He watches t.v. until 11;30 so I usually check back in then. Haven't been around much today. The puzzle seems easier than the past couple.

7:54 pm

Mary

Anyone have a clue for the we6/36, please?

7:56 pm

Jacula

we6/36 builds off the two words before it - means 'very small'.

7:57 pm

musicmom

So what time is it there Jac?

7:58 pm

Vicuna

Oooh! Husband caught an earlier flight and is home already! Bye, all!

7:58 pm

Jacula

MusicMom - the grid hasn't been too bad today. Having said that, I guess it depends on how long you've been Babbling (so got to know the weirder words to look out for) or if you have the 'DisAble' dictionary (LOL) or you're just very knowledgeable about words.

7:58 pm

musicmom

By Vic

7:59 pm

Jacula

Bye Vic! Don't want you to be caught out Babbling! LOL. (Know the feeling!:)))

7:59 pm

Jacula

MM - it is 1.59 am here in UK as I type.

8:00 pm

hurshy

i think "quasy" should be a word
like "that quasy wabbit!"

8:00 pm

Tim

how about the le5/18 and the le8???

8:00 pm

Mary

Thanks, Jacula, got it.

8:00 pm

musicmom

<g> why are you out of bed? hehee.

8:00 pm

Tim

I agree Hurshy

8:02 pm

Jacula

Why am I out of bed? Because I'm busy.

8:04 pm

Jacula

le5/18 & le8 both build from the same basis. For le5, think of the first name of the author of 'Alice In Wonderland' (Mr. Carroll). The le8 builds on that - think of Eisenhower's nickname but change the middle letter.

8:05 pm

Jacula

Mary - y/w.

8:06 pm

Tim

thanks jac, those are just silly!

8:08 pm

Jacula

le5/18 - A dovetailed iron tenon made of several parts and designed to fit into a dovetail mortise in a large stone so that it can be lifted by a hoisting apparatus.

le8/60 - An oily, colorless to violet or brown liquid, C2H2AsCl3, used to make a highly toxic gas weapon.

8:09 pm

Jacula

Tim - Not as silly as they seem at first.

8:09 pm

Tim

le8 sounds like some nasty stuff!

8:10 pm

Jacula

Tim - I was going to type, 'You live and learn' but, given the le8 maybe not!:-(

8:11 pm

Tim

20 left .....need to take a break...thanks I'll be back..thats a warning.

8:12 pm

Tim

true..true

8:13 pm

Jacula

*Jac rushes to fridge to find a cool drink in readiness.*

8:18 pm

Sushi

Hi all. Sushi here. Ok, Jac. for those of us who are not American I will need another hint other than Eisenhower's nickname. And thanks for including the chemical name for Le60

8:20 pm

Jacula

Hiya Sushi. I'm from UK, but I try to to UK clues when UK peeps are around. Okay, for the ending of the Mr. Carroll word, think short form of Michael and take off the first letter.

8:22 pm

Jacula

(Ending also sounds like what singers sing through to make their voices heard.)

8:23 pm

Sushi

got it thanks! and here's to words that end in OUR

8:24 pm

Jacula

Sushi - where are you from?

8:25 pm

Sushi

Canada but living in the deep south USA.

8:25 pm

Jacula

Sushi - I woulnd't mind betting that if you Googled 'Eisenhower's nickname' you'd have got the answer though.

8:26 pm

Jacula

My fave band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, were from the South.

8:26 pm

Sushi

with all these hints it now occured to me. *** and Tina turner. Just not feeling too worldly tonight.

8:27 pm

Sushi

Go Lynyrd. My fav band was from UK - Stones.

8:29 pm

Jacula

You're right! I'm usually the one that gives musical clues. It would have been a far easier way of saying it!

(((HUGS))) if you're feeling a bit down though.

8:30 pm

Jacula

Free Bird - my fave song of all time. (I'm nearly 49 now, so I reckon I'll not be changing my mind about that.)

The Stones - brill!

8:30 pm

Sushi

Just kicking myself, since this was my night to go to bed early and here I am babbling about.

8:31 pm

Jacula

BTW, it's the live version of Free Bird I love the best. 'What do you wanna hear?' and all that.

8:31 pm

Sushi

Hey your age in not old - just clasic. Note that I am the same age.

8:32 pm

Jacula

Sushi - if you want to sleep then don't feel obliged to stay here. However, if you continue kicking yourself, I recommend Arnica for bruises. LOL.

8:33 pm

Sushi

Yep. My score is *high enough* tonight. So good nite all.

8:33 pm

Jacula

Classic, eh? Must remember to tell my other half that!

8:33 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, Sushi. Nice to meet you.

8:35 pm

renfield

mistress!!!! i'm still at the office!!!!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Hiya Ren!

8:37 pm

Jacula

I'm playing with a Black Dragon on another site right now but I will find the pics you requested.x

8:37 pm

renfield

did the troops desert you? or is it dessert?

8:38 pm

renfield

ok - i haven't been home long enough to burn the cd w/ the other pixs!!!!
hey tomorrow is smaller's birthday.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Yes, I know it's Smaller's birthday tomoz but I don't have her mail to send her a card. Tomorrow's Babble theme is 'Baby Shower for Wolfie & Family'. We also have 2 new Babble grandchildren - Doxy's and ExWren's.

8:40 pm

Jacula

Ren - I think the Babble troops just all got their words or went to bed.

8:41 pm

Jacula

Ren - May I just ask why you have to burn your pics to cd in the first instance? If they're off digicam you can just download them to your computer, same if you scan them in.

8:42 pm

inge

Actually I am still lurking while listening to our Pres on the TV.

8:43 pm

EasternBlue

inge...I'm doing the same thing!!

8:44 pm

mab

I'm listening to Fred Astaire instead (singing).

8:44 pm

Jacula

What's the Pres. saying then? Is he going to join the effort to stop Global Warming?

8:45 pm

inge

Did you know they took down all the bus shelters in downtown Detroit for security reasons for the Super Bowl??

8:46 pm

EasternBlue

Jacula - that's not his agenda...he's for big companies, oil and things to help his cronies succeed....

8:46 pm

inge

Gee. I thought that deep freeze in Russia and Europe was his doing to prove his theory right.

8:46 pm

EasternBlue

ooooo...mab - what song??

8:47 pm

mab

Oh no, Jacula; that's 'voluntary' here. It's strictly up to the corporate conscience.

8:48 pm

Jacula

Ah, voluntary! Like rebuilding Philly after Katrina then?

8:48 pm

EasternBlue

Jac - one could only hope we'd get a Pres who would REALLY focus on the environment....

8:50 pm

tabbycat

Corporate Conscience...is that an oxymoron?

8:51 pm

EasternBlue

tabby - yes...indeed it is...

8:51 pm

Jacula

EB - I 'could' say a lot of things here about why I believe the US gov has done nothing for Philly. Some (many) are monetary reasons, others *may* have to do with race. However, the Babblelog is not the place to voice these thoughts. So, there you have it from a'white Caucasian' Brit!

8:53 pm

mab

EB: The Way You Look Tonight, Let Yourself Go, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, I Can't Be Bothered Now, Slap that Bass, Bojangles off Harlem, Top Hat and Tails, Pick Yourself Up, Shall We Dance, and a few others. I like this CD a lot. You get to hear him tap, too.

8:53 pm

renfield

mistress - they are on another computer.....8(

8:53 pm

tabbycat

Jacula...I think you mean New Orleans...not Philly.

8:53 pm

Yvo

please help with le ,thanks

8:53 pm

EasternBlue

Jac - minor geography...it's New Orleans...and I would (I think) be on the same wavelength from your 'hints'...but I will refrain from too much politicizing in the log too!!

8:54 pm

EasternBlue

mab - good stuff!! my blood is starting to boil listening to the Pres...

8:54 pm

Jacula

Tabby - you may well be right. It's late/early here but my anger is no less over the subject for it. It smacks of money-saving, and 'KKK' and it makes me sick!

8:55 pm

Jacula

Ditto - EB! Not the place!

8:55 pm

Jacula

Ren! How many computers do you have? LOL.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Yvo - which 'le'?

8:57 pm

hokie carla

8:57 pm

Eastie, I'm very politically/socially conscious and usually make myself listen to the Shrub, but tonighit the moment I heard his voice I switched to Fred.

8:58 pm

EasternBlue

hokie -

te _ _ _ _ 'totter'

8:58 pm

renfield

the fact of katrina - she hit at a catagory 1 not 5. the funds for the levy reinforcement were actually spent on graft and corrpution, and on having a really good time by many louisiana officials. some of our our tax money is currently paying for drugs, prostiution, and nights in the clubs. if you are not in houston and having little old women murdered by some of the katrina evacuees...please don;t balme the pres - nola flooded becasuse the gove funds originally slated for the levey were ill spent. or if you are afraid to go to your car or have your chiildren play outside because 44 rapist and child molestors were sent to houston and have not been found....there i've said enough.....

8:59 pm

renfield

mistress - we have 6 computers......

8:59 pm

Jacula

Jac stands up and applauds Ren.

9:00 pm

Jacula

Ren - we have 5 or 6 computers, too.

9:00 pm

EasternBlue

mab - I still have it on in the background...

9:00 pm

hokie carla

thanks, EB. I kept looking in the wrong direction.

angel...I think the one you're looking for is a more adj. version of the word that would be right above in your list.
But I have no idea what it means.

9:01 pm

tabbycat

5 computers here...7 if you count the laptops

9:01 pm

renfield

mistress we try to keep pixs and logs et el on our main frame; however..sometimes mez e-mails me pix and i file them on my notebook....one day i will get my computer's organized.

9:02 pm

Jacula

I can only look at the US situation from what we are told here in the UK, but I can only say that it doesn't look good from here, despite what your Pres's crony here might try to tell us.

9:03 pm

inge

Thanks Ren, that needed to be said.

9:03 pm

renfield

mab - i got a blur that mrs king had died. my mother was very active in the civil rights movement. i will get on line and read about mrs king.

9:03 pm

EasternBlue

9:04 pm

EasternBlue

Jac - it's taking a strong swing toward staunch conservativism...

9:04 pm

Angelsong

oops, EB. I have that one. try again?

9:05 pm

Jacula

OOps, Sorry! (Very British thing to say, I know!) Got sidetracking being political back there. Did I miss someone in need of Babble clues?

BRB, when I've dealt with the next lot of laundry.

9:05 pm

EasternBlue

Angel -
same first 3 letters + anothER ending...

9:06 pm

Jacula

EB - I am a Tory (in the true Blue sense) but none of what's happened in US makes any sense to me!

9:06 pm

EasternBlue

Jac - I swing toward the liberal side...social issues, etc.

9:06 pm

hurshy

i feel really bad for mrs. king. i heard that her husband cheated on her a lot. it must be hard all these years to have always kept up the image of him being so great - which he was of course - but at the same time probably still bear so much personal hurt...

9:08 pm

pbr

any help tonight on the le8? pls

9:10 pm

mab

hurshy, he did sleep with other women, but Coretta understood him on a very deep level -- I think it was complicated. I've just begun the second of Taylor Branch's three-volume work on King and the civil rights movement.

9:10 pm

9:14 pm

When I came out of college I made a life rule to myself, 'Never talk politics or religion to people who you want to remain friends with'. I've broken that rule a few times but not lost many friends yet.

Poor Jac. You have taken a hard time tonight haven't you? I for one am glad you are awake or I wouldn't have the number of words I have.

10:17 pm

kristinc

ooh, sorry Jac, I just arrived...didn't know others were just as "curious"! Mostly I couldn't do the math myself

10:19 pm

Jacula

le8 - so tired of giving this clue (not your fault!)First name of author of Alice in Wonderland + Tina Turner's partner (change middle letter to last part of a place where builders work.)

10:20 pm

lshult

thanks Jac

10:21 pm

Jacula

Eventually, I will find the perfect clue to give for this one. In the meantime, I'll chill out listening to Elton John's 'Your Song'. Happy memories from my teens!

10:26 pm

Jacula

teenaged dreams from back in N. Wales, doing the old house up etc. There was an ivy tree growing up through the middle of that house. We aren't together now, but neither of us has lost the dreamabout that particular house.

10:27 pm

Jacula

And for anyone who's reading through curiousity - we never did marry! Shared dreams don't always mean that!

10:28 pm

musicmom

one more and then off to bed with me. Not bad for working on this in fits and starts today. I got all but 25

10:29 pm

Jacula

I'll shut up now, LOL!

10:29 pm

musicmom

Why shut up? I think it is interesting. I'm just tired:-) Not leaving because of your memories.

10:30 pm

Jacula

MM _ I posted the I'll shut up now thing before I saw your post.

10:30 pm

kristinc

I'm listening Jac inbetween frantically searching for words.

10:31 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: You had a good relationship with a person. Don't have to explain. Marriage isn't always what it is suppose to be cracked up to be. Enjoy, whatever.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Not much else to say on that saubject now anyway, unless the music reminds me.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Hiya Jojo. Sorry for the fall-out the other night. The marriage I had certainly was not all I had hoped. The relationship I have now is the very best though. I've hoped and waited a long time, but, eventually. HE arrived.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Jojo - 20 or 30 yearsa seems so very long to wait... I know.

10:35 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Sorry too. **kisses and hugs**. You know, you probably have the right relationship right now. You don't need marriage, enjoy the moment.

10:38 pm

renfield

hiya - i made it home!!!!!

10:38 pm

Jacula

Guess what, JoJo - even ex-hubby's finally got it right at last. He's taking his new wife to The Maldives for her 50th. Shame he realised it was the place I'd always wanted to go just after he said it! I'm a year behind his new wifey, btw.

10:39 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Don't think you are waiting, enjoy what you have right now. Marriage is not for everyone. "Love the one you are with." Hmm, I think that was a song lyrics back in the 60's.

10:39 pm

Jacula

Hiya Ren! Glad you made it home.

10:40 pm

renfield

mistress sent you an e-mail b4 i left the office....8)

10:40 pm

Ren: I guess I haven't been tuned in, where have you been? Welcome back, however.

10:40 pm

renfield

jojo - i just arrived home from work....8)

10:41 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Welcome. Relax, pour a glass of wine, and sit back and babble. Missed U.

10:43 pm

Jacula

Ren - will go check my mails. In the meantime I will leave you lot listening to 'Midnight Train To Georgia' by Gladys & The Pips. Sung so VERY well by a lass called Lisa here from our high school. The fat, white lass many laughed at... She's the one with the recording contract.... GO LISA!!

10:43 pm

renfield

thanks jojo,,,i'm just chillin...don't tink i can babble tonight....8)

10:44 pm

renfield

ok mistress - that's a swell song...where can we listen to it?

10:45 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: I am sure I am much older than you, so from one woman to another, don't stress over your ex. Someday he wil get his rightful payment. Concentrate on your now companion, don't dwell on the past.

10:48 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: There is times that I don't babble either, or show very poor stats. There is nothing wrong with enjoying babbling on the chat line. It can help you relax after a long day on the job. No prob with me, you not babbling, go for it and just chat for a while, if it relaxes you.

10:49 pm

Jacula

JoJo , I'm 48, 49 end of April or thereabouts. Born 1957. I'm not stressing about my ex.

10:50 pm

mamabear

Good evening. Surprised to see you here, Jac!!!
Today was a waste of a square on the calendar...... hope all you nice people had a better one!

10:51 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Good to hear that. I'm 60 and holding, but will never be old. Good you are not stressing about your ex. Proud of you.

10:51 pm

Jacula

Ren - I'm sure we've got Lisa's cd here somewhere. Can't find it instantly though. Sorry!

10:51 pm

renfield

you're right jojo...some days i read so many contracts that my eyes don't want to look for words and i just like to read the chat...8)

10:51 pm

Jacula

Hiya Mama! What's wrong? ((HUGS)))

10:52 pm

renfield

hi mama b....let's erase the day!!!!

10:52 pm

kristinc

I found my husband's name is here: sh 5/20 and the definition is basically...a proper name. So, to my international friends or possibly hipper American friends, is there another meaning for the word or is he just special?

10:52 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Then go for it, just chat. Nothing in the world wrong with that. In fact everything in the world right with that, if you enjoy it.

10:53 pm

mamabear

You know those times in your life when it is just one damn thing after another? I am way stuck in that cycle. And every time I talk myself into "focusing on the good stuff" and moving on, something else happens.

10:54 pm

mamabear

good idea, ren!

10:54 pm

mamabear

I have no words today. And it will stay that way. Just got home and I know I won't be able to sleep, so I thought I'd see what was going on in here for a while.

10:54 pm

Jacula

sh5/20 - apart from the American dancer, there's the sheep from Wllace & Gromit, and you could say a sheep has been sh5/20 when its fleece has been removed.

10:55 pm

kristinc

Mama, I'll share my words with you...pretend you have 136 and counting. The week is almost halfway over btw!

10:56 pm

mamabear

10:57 pm

Jacula

Mama - we girls are here with you. Don't give in.xxx

10:57 pm

kristinc

Jac...thanks, all is right in the world now. Because if one person got their name in, then you know, everyone would want theirs in too :)

10:58 pm

mamabear

Hi JoJo.... sorry... didn't mean to ignore you!!

10:58 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mamabear: You know, life takes it's turns. Remember that everyday that you spend like you did today, just makes you get stronger ~~ and stronger~~ and stronger. You wil just get stronger. How about those apples. I have had a lot of topsy turvy times in my life, but it only made me stronger. You can do it gal.

10:58 pm

hootowl

Evening everyone.
Kristin - It's a medieval horn too. Sorry.

10:58 pm

Jacula

Something like 5am. Mama. My other half's just got up all by himself and hs iven me coffee and seems p***ed off with me. That's life!

10:59 pm

renfield

my names been in the grid several time this past month....however...it's only 3 letters....

11:00 pm

mamabear

are you up early on Wednesday, or up late on Tuesday, jac?

11:00 pm

Jacula

God help any male who arrives on the grid right now! It's time for us females, I reckon.

11:01 pm

hootowl

I've been trying to finish but I think I'd rather talk too. I thought I was the oldest on here and probably among conservatives.
I've been proved totally wrong and now feel truly at home!

11:01 pm

kristinc

ren...impressive. I suppose the 3 letters helps, I'm pushing it w/ 7

11:02 pm

mamabear

If you've been up all nite, jac, why is he giving you coffee??????

11:02 pm

Jacula

Oh, so funny! Build Me Up Buttercup by The Boxtops is playing in my headphones now. Checl the lyrics out, if you don't know them.

11:02 pm

hootowl

Hotd*** I FINALLY figured out that pe 5!

11:03 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hoot: Yea I am probably the oldest on the chat tonight. So be it. I am still walking, chatting, and talking, and proud of it. Anyone need any advise? Not that I can answer all the problems, but, I do have age in my favor.

11:03 pm

Jacula

Hoot - Glad you've finally got the point of all this cr** at last!x

11:04 pm

mamabear

Why do you build me up, build me up, Buttercup, baby, just to bring me down.. and mess me around.... and worst of all, worst of all, you never call baby when you say you will, but I love you still.... I need YOOOOOOUUUU more than anyone baby.........

11:04 pm

hootowl

Negative! I am! Be 65 in march and my BF is 50. Waited 20 years after my divorce to get involved again. THAT's why I'm in Memphis!

11:04 pm

renfield

you know that i always will...so built me up buttercup don't let me down....

11:05 pm

mamabear

good for you hootowl!!!!!!! I am hoping someday to find the proverbial Mr. Right too, but I have to get rid of Mr. Wrong first.

11:05 pm

hootowl

Meant pe6 - still need 5/20

11:06 pm

renfield

11:06 pm

pinecone05

whew ! I'm done! Anyone need a clue?

11:06 pm

Jacula

Got The Drifters, Saturday Night At The Movies' now in my headphones, followed by 'Where Did Our Love Go?' by The Supremes. Gawd! Surely on 60s girls and guys could understand those ones?

11:06 pm

renfield

i'm clueless.....

11:07 pm

mamabear

Professor Plum in the library with the lead pipe.

11:07 pm

pinecone05

pe 5/20 is pe + to be clever

11:07 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hoot: You win. I lose, but good for you having a BF! Congrats.

11:07 pm

renfield

i buttle...i love that line...

11:07 pm

hootowl

Sure - remember playing whole strings of songs on a jukebox to try and get a message across. They usually feigned ignorance!

11:08 pm

Jacula

Hey, HOOT! Yes, you waited a long time. But never give up hope! And as for your b/f - he's peed you off momentarily, I guess?

11:08 pm

hootowl

Thank you.

11:08 pm

mamabear

JoJo - advice????? I could keep you busy all nite!

11:09 pm

hootowl

Arrgh! Same word smaller! No wonder I was confused!

11:09 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Everyone: Just remember us women rule!!!

11:09 pm

mamabear

Like the Bee Gee's say..... they're only Words.

11:10 pm

renfield

i just played my guitar and sing 'em a song....like...the night they drove old dixie down...or love is just a 4 letter word....guess those were the wrong somgs....hahahahaha

11:10 pm

Jacula

Lol - Here's a new 'group word': a confusion of women.

Copyright Jacula!

11:11 pm

Jacula

Ren - if you play Joan Baez songs on hour guitar you won't go far wrong with me!

11:11 pm

hootowl

Nope - he's sleeping. Shift switch means he has to be in at 6am. He''l be up at 4:30.
We've been together for a year and have yet to find anything to fight about! Pure heaven after my marraige where everything was a fight!

11:11 pm

renfield

YES...i love that a confusion of women!!!!!

confusion say.....

11:11 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: First, who is Mr. Wrong? Your husband or BF? Need to know that before I continue. Remember you asked.

11:11 pm

mamabear

husband

11:12 pm

Jacula

Conucious say - never mess with women or your balls may clash.

11:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hoot: What you have said, sounds like a keeper to me.

11:13 pm

Jacula

*or even Confucious!

11:13 pm

mamabear

Someone sent me a joke today of a man standing by a machine with his "privates" under a metal tray - (kind of like a Xerox machine)..... and the title under the picture was "Manogram"......hahahahahaha ha

11:13 pm

renfield

mistress!!!! you left me speechless!!!!

11:14 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Oh, Oh. Kids involved? Is he abusive to you or kids?

11:14 pm

Jacula

LOL, Ren.

11:14 pm

hootowl

Mamabear I realised after 2 yrs he had to go. But I'd had woulf and my family were not supportive. So I waited, went to school, got a decent job and then walked.
I was looking for anything to happen. Decide to leave NY and go to Texas. Met BF on the way down. Known only from a BB we belonged to. When I left Tx to go to Knoxville he offered me a bed for a night. The rest is history.

11:15 pm

mamabear

my kids are grown - 25, 22 & 19. Emotionally abusive, neglectful ...... it's such a long story.

11:16 pm

hootowl

Still wake up amazed and pinch myself a lot!:)

11:16 pm

mamabear

what's a "BB", hootowl????? I am very happy for you.... everyone should have the opportunity to experience real love at least once in their lives.

11:17 pm

hootowl

WASN't Looking for anything!

11:17 pm

mamabear

sounds like a fairy tale, hoot!

11:20 pm

mamabear

just glancing at the grid...... like a zoo!!! (full of animals)

11:20 pm

chic

hello, can I have a clue for the te 6/24 please?

11:21 pm

hootowl

It's a bulletin board. Was for a handyman group. We both belonged and e-mailed and IM'd just to talk. When I left NY I was heading to another member who had offered a place to stay while I job hunted. I decided to meet as many members as possible on the way.
I e-mail, IM and call about 15 people in my core group.
I have a place to stay just about anywhere in the USA!

11:21 pm

mamabear

sorry, chic. as I have "0 words FOUND" - didn't play today.

11:22 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Probably every woman on this chat line tonight can relate to emotional abuse. Men most of the time "just don't get it". There is choices you can make, either get out, or live with his emotional abuse. OR, just get strong and tell him to ~~you know~~ __ off. I bet as soon as you hold your ground, things will change. It did with me. Life is not always a wonderful road, but things can change, if you aren't willing to let your mate to just treat as someone beneath him. It worked for me.

11:22 pm

hootowl

VERy, very small

11:23 pm

mamabear

Isn't it amazing how the Internet has virtually changed people's lives????

11:24 pm

kristinc

chic: young person 14, 15, 16 (te**) +sy
mama: remember, you have 164 words! :)

11:25 pm

mamabear

got it kristinc *wink, wink*

11:25 pm

chic

thanx, kristinc

11:25 pm

hootowl

Please I'm hearing echos. Tried that a few times. He usually apoligised, was good for a month, then back to put-downs and yelling. Only time it lasted more than a month was when I tried to hit him with a formica dinibg room chair!
That lasted 6-7 weeks.
Chair weighed about 40lbs! Only reason I didn't kill him was cause I het the ceiling before I got to him.

11:26 pm

mamabear

JoJo- I know the choices I have and the decisions I have to make. It's being ABLE to make them that is difficult. I have told him for a very long time how I feel, and he is unwilling to change, so the person that has to change is me.

11:27 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Sounds like it is more than just emotional abuse, being that you thru a chair at him. Right?

11:28 pm

hootowl

Mama if anyone had encouraged me I might have done it sooner. After we split almost everyone that knew us asked me why I'd waited so long. Meanwhile I'm starting to believe it's my fault. :(

11:29 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Sorry: that was hootowl that threw the chair, not you. Sorry.

11:31 pm

mamabear

YIKES!! Hootowl..... I am not the violent type. But 2 weeks ago as I was leaving for work in the morning, I took all the tv, vcr, dvd, etc. remote controls to work with me and left them there for a week. THAT got a rise out of him.

11:31 pm

hootowl

Nope - never hit me. Words can do a lot more damage sometimes. And the fights were basically power plays. Leave for a party, start a fight in the car, drive around for an hour yelling at me, finally get to party and it's my fault we're late. Question something he did or didn't do and listen to 4 hrs of screaming.

11:32 pm

mamabear

hootowl - I know what you are saying. There are people (including my daughters) who are sympathetic to my situation. I am just trapped right now, mostly because of financial reasons.

11:33 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: That is what men try to find, is women who doesn't have enough confidence in themselves. You feel it is your fault, even tho you haven't done anything wrong, because, somehow you don't have confidence in yourself. Believe me I am no shrink, but I have been there. No one pushes me around anymore. Took me a while to realize that tho.

11:34 pm

Jacula

Sorry folks. Not the physically or even emotionally viilent myself usually. Both occured here, and now he's gone to work. and we're both pretty p'dd off. Oh, how funny that Normanb Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the Sky' should blam in to my headphones right at this stupid moment.

11:34 pm

billie1987

I'VE GOT 43 WORDS IS THAT GOOD OR BAD COZ IM NEW HERE

11:35 pm

hootowl

THIS man asks me what I'd like to. Where I'd like to go. Helps. HE vacuums cause he knows I hate the sound of a vac. Makes breakfast and occasionally cooks dinner (when I let him) Does laundry. Complete 180!
We share his cmp right now and he lets me babble or anything else whenever I want. Peace is wonderful!

11:35 pm

mamabear

that's wonderful billie1987!!!!! Just have fun - there's no "good" or "bad".... in Babbleonia!!! Welcome!

11:36 pm

Jacula

Thank Gawd for Mama!

11:36 pm

mamabear

Jac - are you ok?

11:36 pm

kristinc

um...sorry to interupt important conversation but I feel it necessary to point out that mama and I are now finished looking for words. Yipee!
Also...you all keep strong. You each are brave, brave women who have or will emerge even stronger and more beautiful. Goodnight all!

11:37 pm

mamabear

why you say that, jac?

11:37 pm

hootowl

Think we have to slow down. Jac ?

11:38 pm

mamabear

hootowl - does he have a brother???? LOL

11:38 pm

Jacula

Mama - Yes, I am, truly. It's just a storm in yet another teacup. He's really p'd, I know, well I know why. Nowt to do with me.

11:38 pm

billie1987

I DONT MEAN TO SOUNS NOSY BUT HOW MANY HAVE YOU GOT PPL

11:38 pm

mamabear

we're done, kristinc?????? Whew.... that was a tough one!!!! LOL
good nite.... and thanks!!!

11:38 pm

hootowl

Sorry - bro is not like him at all and is on his 5th wife! :):):):)

11:39 pm

mamabear

billie1987 - there are 174 words in the grid today.

11:40 pm

mamabear

jac - well I hope he cools off while he is gone and realizes he is taking it out on the wrong person then!

11:41 pm

mamabear

alrighty then, hootowl, scratch THAT idea!! LOL

11:41 pm

hootowl

Billy it doesn't make any difference this late. The puzzle will change at midnight. Suggest you read the rules and check out Babblers Anonymous at the bottom of the box in the upper right hand corner. Under General there will be a list of what words are needed and how many of each.
Helps alot. Welcome aboard

11:43 pm

mamabear

Changes at midnite!!! OMG .... I didn't realize it was so late.... I have to get to bed..... gotta get up early for work..

11:43 pm

Jacula

Hoot - Well, the name he called me when he went off to work after we ladt 'punched' each other, could have referred to me or to anyone. We will see.

Christ! What conspiracy is this? 'Unchained Melody' is playing into my headphones now!

11:44 pm

hootowl

I've found that to be pretty normal. If there is 2 or more bros, one will be great and the others anywhere from crazy to nasty to blah. The former will be married or otherwise taken.

11:44 pm

mamabear

If I heard Unchained Melody right now, it would reduce me to tears...... for sure.

11:45 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama and Kris: Congrats and good night.

11:45 pm

hootowl

Oh mama wish I could help you. Jac turn it off! That always happens. Why suffer?

11:45 pm

Jacula

Sorry! We sounded like Johnny Cash & June Carter, didn't we?

11:46 pm

renfield

mistress - do you hvae unchained melody by long john baldry?

11:46 pm

hootowl

Nighty night

11:46 pm

renfield

you mean like - we got married in a fever - ???

11:47 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Jac: Are you in trouble?

11:47 pm

hootowl

Wasn't being nasty jac. Just meant you shouldn't make yourself suffer any more than necessary. They'll keep playing stuff like that. It's fate or something.

11:47 pm

mamabear

thanks hootowl..... I am a VERY patient person.... if you remember, I had a possible job opp in Long Island. That was my "Plan A".... now that that has been put on hold indefinitely, I need to move on to "Plan B".. just not sure what that is yet.

11:47 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: You have a great sleep.

11:48 pm

hootowl

Aaah. Well a job is definitely a good idea. Keep trying.

11:49 pm

mamabear

Oh I have a job here. It's not that.

11:49 pm

hootowl

Oh no. Not me. Was aimed at mama. I'm here til about 1.

11:50 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Night all!

11:50 pm

hootowl

And I finish with 136 words

11:50 pm

mamabear

Yeah, I said I was gonna go, didn't I?????
*mamabear whispers....jac.... you ok???? I'm worried about you...*

11:50 pm

mamabear

good nite JoJo - sleep well!!!! *hugs*

11:51 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: I am worried about Jac too.

11:51 pm

GreyWoulf

and I stop in to say hi and to let everyone know that Sebastian is home safe and find out stuff about my mom I never knew!

Hi all!! (*HUGS*) ;D

11:51 pm

mamabear

BUSTED!!!!!

11:52 pm

renfield

nite jojo
opps hoot...your son is here!!!!

11:52 pm

hootowl

You weren't supposed to be here!!!!!!!!

11:52 pm

hootowl

And what didn't you know?

11:52 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie. Like what stuff about your mom. Whatever it is forgive her, (if it is not to your pleasing).

11:52 pm

GreyWoulf

I knew about the stuff my father pulled -- lord knows I was there for a lot of it -- but trying to take him out with a chair! -- that's new to me :)

11:52 pm

mamabear

Sorry, hootowl... my fault for bringing up the subject.....

11:53 pm

hootowl

Night

11:54 pm

hootowl

Don't be silly mama - he just doesn't remember it all. Felt good to tell someone too.

11:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Not that I didn't consider it a time or two myself --- when hoot left and I chose to stay with him -- I became the next target :\

Part of the reason why I haven't talked to him in years

11:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- no fault -- time separation makes it easier to make humorous -- no trauma here, so don't worry (*Hug*)

11:55 pm

hootowl

And just to clarify - I wann't TRYING to kill him! Just wanted to hurt him back! AFTER I realised I could have killed him.

11:55 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Obviously Hootowl (your mom) was defending herself, or I am sure she wouldn't have done that with the chair. You cannot condemn her for that.

11:56 pm

mamabear

GW - I am glad Kirsten and Sebastian are home and can sleep in their OWN beds tonite! This should be much easier on you too!!! Enjoy your son *mamabear whispers to GW.... has he p'd in your face yet?? Boys do that you know*

11:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Mom -- I know --- but you never told me about that incident so I HAD to comment ;D

11:56 pm

hootowl

Just blind, black anger!

11:56 pm

hootowl

No other way to swing that weight!

11:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- I have only had to change one diaper on him so far and he behaved -- I have been busy reclaiming the living room from laundry

11:57 pm

Jacula

GW - MSN!

11:58 pm

hootowl

Just assumed you were there. Not too many people know about it. First time mentioned in public.

11:59 pm

hootowl

Just make sure you keep a diaper or washcloth over him and no sweat. You did get your dad once.

11:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hootowl: If you have kept this episode deep in side you all these you, do you feel relieved? If so, you can free yourself.
