Babble: Archived Puzzle for Friday, February 3, 2006

12:00 am

Griffums

woof... this looks ominous

12:01 am

Schroeder

Hi Giff, was thinking the same thing......

12:02 am

renfield

hi grif!!!

12:02 am

Griffums

hey schro, hey ren

12:03 am

kristinc

Griffums...doing any better today?

12:03 am

renfield

101 words

12:03 am

Griffums

well, it says ANEMONE doesn't exist but it sure should!

12:03 am

Debs40ish

c6/24 c6/21

12:04 am

Griffums

hi kristin - I'm okay. Doc says two sprains of the back. Body shop says sayonara to the Toyota. I'm just coming to terms with it.

12:04 am

LeslieAnn

101 not bad at all!

12:04 am

Griffums

This one's small enough for me to stay and play awhile.

12:04 am

kristinc

Griff...both will probably take time. Glad you hear you're at least hanging in there.

12:05 am

renfield

grif - i missed what happened to you...are you ok????

12:07 am

Griffums

Ren - yeah, I'm okay. Car accident on Tuesday. The rest is just aftermath. Fixes that would be simpler if I had money. I've just been very tired all week from dealing with all of it.

12:08 am

renfield

oh....i'm so sorry....as long as you and your puppy are ok!!!

12:08 am

sprite

Morning dear gang!
Griffs, is your body recovering? I read it is time you discover a money tree in your back garden...

12:08 am

C6/21

12:11 am

Griffums

Hunter is stressed and out of sorts - had a bad day at daycare today and that never happens. I think he is just a little glum also. Time will heal. Or at least it will bring another disaster du jour for distraction.

12:11 am

doxy1lover

12:12 am

sprite

(((((Griffs)))))
Time will bring a nice surprise for you to distract you. So ordered by me. No more disasters for at least a month, you hear!

12:12 am

Griffums

Your lips to the Big Kahuna's ear, sprite...

12:13 am

sprite

I have connections there. They will listen ;)

12:14 am

chic

sprite and debs are saying there's no 7's in this grid?

12:14 am

Griffums

I don't doubt that one bit!

12:14 am

Griffums

Nope, no 7's

12:14 am

sprite

That's right. Only 6s and under. 8 x 6.

12:14 am

Schroeder

It's true chic, no 7s

12:14 am

cybernan

Good Evening, everyone -- had a little trouble getting on line, so if I suddenly disappear....

12:15 am

Schroeder

Hi Cybernan

12:15 am

sprite

Morning nan :D

12:15 am

Griffums

Hi, nan

12:16 am

chic

this is one to make your brain work to find words, I'm thinking.

12:16 am

sprite

Yups, at 24 now and already really hunting.

12:18 am

renfield

there's a glam rocker's song in here

12:19 am

Schroeder

I must have left my brain at work today so I'm off to bed early...Happy hunting all

12:19 am

dalmatian5

The smaller grids certainly are not the easier grids!

12:19 am

Griffums

nite schro

12:20 am

sprite

Night Schroeder.

12:20 am

renfield

i'm gone to...i forgot i had to open the office....%{

12:20 am

Griffums

bye ren

12:21 am

Debs40ish

L6/18

12:25 am

sprite

Lol, there is a 7 in the grid... a very oldfashioned dutch slang word for the female private parts!

12:26 am

cybernan

Good night, Schroeder

12:26 am

Griffums

okay then, let's hear the word...

12:26 am

whitespace

m6/24

12:26 am

sprite

Griffs: 'flamoes'. :)

12:26 am

cybernan

Care to divulge a first letter, Sprite?

12:27 am

Griffums

Well, that has a certain flair to it...

12:28 am

Griffums

Y 6/27 if no one said it

12:28 am

Debs40ish

y6/27

12:28 am

Debs40ish

snap..lol

12:28 am

sprite

Certainly has, Griffs!
Nan, it is not valid. Too dutch for babble, I am afraid. Sorry!

12:29 am

Griffums

That's another coke you owe me debs!

12:29 am

sprite

GMTA :)

12:29 am

Debs40ish

I think I'd better arrange a pub crawl with you and Darleen at this rate!....lol

12:31 am

sprite

Can I come too? :)

12:31 am

Griffums

I don't understand why the c for goodbye and the a for clearing one's throat are not permitted as plurals too?

12:32 am

sprite

Babble is so partial.

12:32 am

chic

why isn't heman allowed?

12:32 am

Griffums

Obviously. It doesn't even like flamoes.

12:33 am

sprite

Halfway through and I have to leave you guys for a while. It's my daughter's birthday, she is 8 years old now and very proud of it :D
Later~!

12:33 am

Griffums

Awwww, hugs to the BIG GIRL! Bye-bye...

12:34 am

brandyjack

Because they aren't english. they are imports from other languages, but the derivatives are not used by english speakers. We're such ego-centric snobs.

12:34 am

chic

'nite, sprite!

12:36 am

cybernan

Bye Sprite

12:36 am

Debs40ish

My ex was an egotistical...... snob isn't quite the word!.....

12:37 am

Debs40ish

Cya Sprite...take care and Happy Birthday to little one :)

12:37 am

Griffums

If your ex is like (all of) mine, debs, he probably still is.

12:37 am

Debs40ish

You have more than one too! .... snap again...lol

12:38 am

brandyjack

Conceit is for those who merely think they are better then others, arrogance is reserved for those of us who are....

12:39 am

Debs40ish

Concieted...arrogant..egotisti cal...sounding more and more like my ex!!!!!!

12:39 am

Griffums

You say that very believably, bj. (and thanks for putting up the stats)

12:41 am

brandyjack

Practice does make perfect. Thank you.

12:41 am

Griffums

LOL

<ouch, snort with the diet coke>

12:41 am

Debs40ish

I used to think that when I was married too! This is getting so spooky!

12:43 am

dalmatian5

a 6/30

12:43 am

brandyjack

a6/21

12:45 am

Griffums

duh, can't believe I didn't see that a 6/30

12:45 am

brandyjack

That's ok, I still haven't found it.

12:46 am

Griffums

It's burning to be found, bj.

12:47 am

dalmatian5

Ohhh, good clue Griff

12:48 am

Griffums

Just found your 6/21 too.

12:48 am

chic

I'm looking for stuff that's not really there... so nite, nite to all, leaving the other half for tomorrow ;-)

12:48 am

brandyjack

f6/30. For such a small puzzle, so many of the words are uncommon. The a6/21 is a type of poplar, especially a cottonwood. Sounds wooly to me, and I always thought it was just a bunch of hillbillies giving 20,000 Mexicans the finger. Not an especially bright thing to do....

12:49 am

brandyjack

Since it was related to the f6/30 I just found, it was obvious with your clue. thanks.

12:49 am

Griffums

as the great Carson would say, "I did not know that."

12:53 am

Griffums

Debs put up the c 6/24 along with the c 6/21 right?

12:54 am

Debs40ish

I did..... :)

12:54 am

Griffums

Okay, well take that off my bar tab I guess. Did you put up the L 6? So all 6's are accounted for now?

12:55 am

Debs40ish

I have an L 6 don't know if I put it up... minds boggled!

12:56 am

Griffums

It's actually a dastardly little grid. But not very many stupidhead words as yet.

1:00 am

Griffums

Oh, I was still missing one - me 6/24. One for the cottonwood folks.

1:00 am

tbear

good morning.......clutching tea and Alpen breakfast bar meant for the kids,but they're SO morish....

1:00 am

Debs40ish

Morning tbear

1:01 am

Griffums

Hi tbear!

1:06 am

brandyjack

40 down and morning comes way too soon. ci4/5 all...

1:06 am

Griffums

1:07 am

dalmatian5

1:07 am

Debs40ish

Nite Jack...sweet dreams

1:21 am

lottijw

1:21 am

Griffums

6 more for me - bye debs!

1:26 am

Griffums

Oh, that drives me nuts - looking and looking for that ONE LAST WORD and I'm sure my words match the stats but it says there's one missing, until I hit refresh and it counts them up correctly. :)
That's it for me, kids. Off to bed.

1:26 am

Blaze

Hail and Hello... good to see you are not snowed under BJ and that you are here Griff... Hello Hello to all

1:27 am

Griffums

Hey blaze - kind of a devious little grid, you'll need your thinking cap but not a lot of SH words.

1:28 am

Blaze

4:55 am

Eva

Good morning all. This is the most glamorous rock I could find (-: The Star of India.

4:56 am

Jacula

Good morning, Eva. LOL.

5:07 am

Eva

Figured the rock made more sense than choosing something I know absolutely nothing about! (A category which is vast)

5:08 am

Jacula

Sorry, Eva. Glam rock is my icon day (my first).:-) It was 'my era'! LOL.

5:09 am

rosalind230

morning all just popped in to see howbig the grid was today back later bye

5:09 am

Eva

Just listening to yet another report of people falling through the ice. There are two men who have been ice fishing on the local pond every day this past week. They deserve Darwin awards (given to those who, by removing themselves prematurely from the breeding pool, improve its genetics)...I mean I ask you, it's been in the 40's much of the time, what are people thinking?!

5:10 am

Eva

No problem at all Jacula- it apparently was the 70's. Where was I that i didn't notice it? Just out of college, and listening to Motown and classical.

5:11 am

Jacula

Hi & 'Bye, Rosalind. (Like your skirt!)

Eva - I guess the ice thing works on the 'It'll never happen to me' principle, or whatever it is that makes people just 'have' to touch paint when they see a 'Wet Paint' sign.

5:12 am

Eva

or find out what really happens when they stick a fork into a toaster.

5:12 am

Babbler

Happy Glam Rock Day, Jacula!! :D

did you see Gary Glitter is in the news today?

Hi Eva, hi and by Rosalind, hi all : )

5:12 am

Jacula

Yes.:-)

5:13 am

Eva

hi Babbler.

5:13 am

Babbler

oooh! someone at the door!! wonder who??? .... brb...

5:13 am

Jacula

Hi Babbler! Great shoes. Haven't looked at the paper yet and never have the TV on in the day. The less I hear about GG, the better.

5:14 am

Jacula

BTW, the 'yes' at 5:12 was in answer to Eva's comment about toasters.

5:17 am

Jacula

15 words left to find here but they'll have to wait until I've fed the animals. (That's the cats, bunnies and g/pigs, not the 60s group or the family.):-)

5:17 am

periwinkle

Just checking in to see how many words there are today. Will be back later to play. Hey I made a poem :) Would you believe that the last word I was looking for yesterday was "snot".

5:18 am

Jacula

Peri - YUK! My blind spots were 'lodge' & 'lodges'.

5:19 am

Jacula

Be back later. TTFN.

5:24 am

Adsman

Hey there Glam rocking Babblers

5:26 am

Babbler

hi Adsman : )

5:27 am

Adsman

Who was at the door Babbler anyone interesting

5:27 am

Babbler

nah, just my weekly fruit and veg delivery. : )

5:28 am

Babbler

I'm waiting for a delivery from Amazon, which was why I got all excited. A fab new kettle and a few CDs. :D

5:28 am

Adsman

Whats so exciting about a Kettle??? ;)

5:30 am

Babbler

heh! it's gaw-geous!!! Deep red and old fashioned looking. Faberooony!! My old one did go kaput, so I'm not being entirely frivolous! ; )

5:32 am

Adsman

Ok I will let you off.. : )

5:33 am

Babbler

ooh taaa! means a lot (lol!!) Don't know when said kettle will arrive though, any time in the next week or so. Exciting! I'm boiling water on the stove at the minute... :/

5:36 am

Adsman

Ive been waiting for a toy for me Daughter from Amazon since the week before christams.... So the teas on you then when the kettele arrives ; )

5:37 am

Babbler

I noticed Amazon are a bit slack on delivery, according to other people's reviews. I've only ordered once or twice from them before, so I've not experienced any delays.

Yup! Teas will be on me! :D

5:38 am

Adsman

Milk + 1 for me Babbler

5:39 am

Babbler

*writes it down*

5:40 am

Yoink

5:48 am

Babbler

errr..... not sure I know it, Yoink.... I was only a diddy babba at the time... :/ (have you got it? send it us!) :D

5:49 am

Yoink

6:03 am

Babbler

yayy! that means I can play this one at least another couple of times....lol ;D thanks, mate!

6:07 am

Yoink

That song was adapted from some traditional lyrics by Wilco and Billy Bragg in 2002, I've heard a version by Johnny Cash too, but hers takes some beating

6:08 am

Babbler

I'll second that, Yoink, though I don't know the song. It's wonderful. :)

6:24 am

Yoink

Ballroom Blitz on it's way Babs : )

6:46 am

Jacula

Babbler - I used to have a pair like that for school (black & white). Not part of the uniform but I wore 'em anyway. I do have a pic of me wearing them but I don't think they'd show up on the icon.

6:46 am

Babbler

*whispers* I have a ways to go yet, Karys ;)

6:47 am

Yoink

Babs, how a French man might say what is under your eyes and above your mouth :D

7:17 am

mummy

thanks jacula but I really think I need a whole box of tissues and a couple of boxes of belgian choccies... or maybe that's where I went wrong in the first place - too many chocs turns to cellulite legs ....

You're welcome.

How about the first ma - ma4/6? I know it has to come before the godfather, but cant make it happen. Must be very obvious!

8:41 am

Eva

Was indeed obvious once I stopped going the wrong way. Jeeesh!!!

Eva

the first ta5/12?

8:52 am

gramma

Gooooood Morning. It's rainy and dark and gloomy here. It was either babble or slit my wrists....both equally painful at times...but I opted for the grid ;]

8:52 am

ch1212

Eva, it's the name of a tribe that is a warring faction in Sri Lanka... the tigers and ta*** (singular)

8:53 am

Vicuna

ta5/12 - mexican food, as in "hot ta__" (but I've usually seen it spelled with a final e, which this does not have)

8:53 am

Eva

Know what you mean gramma! Had a fleeting thought of driving to Home Depot to order doors but as that would have required getting out of my nightgown, thought better of it.

8:54 am

Eva

Thanks guys. That did it! Now I'm threatened with having to find something productive to do. NAH!

8:56 am

gramma

Eva, I completely understand...but you don't have to get dressed to go there. That is provided your wearing an appropriate flannel gown. Negligees are not IT!

8:56 am

Eva

gramma, what is our mud season count for the year now? 5?

8:57 am

ch1212

5 words left, and have to leave in a few minutes! Help please for the ca6/24, ca5/14 (not the paddling), the ma5/20, last ma/512 and the ever popular ye6/27. PLEASE AND THANKS!

8:58 am

gramma

Eva, here in the banana belt, we have been in an almost continuous muck season 8)

8:59 am

Eva

No-flannel it is, and I've never understood why one can't remain nightgowned all day. Much more modest than much of what passes for appropriate dress. Did once, when I was in my 2-'s and living in Chicago, go out to get cigarettes( stopped 25 years ago), with a trench coat over my nightgown, figuring I'd only be out for 5 minutes, but a dog jumped ap and bit my hand through the open car window and I ended up having to deal with police, etc in my nightgown.

9:00 am

Vicuna

ca5/14 - carved gemstone (usually picture of a profile for a brooch) ca 6 - its plural
ca5/15 - "plural" of a previous ca4

9:01 am

Eva

ch:
ca6/24 plural of the ca5 before it-a face in a pendant
ma5/20like the godfather but replace the last a with a consonant

9:01 am

gramma

Eva, I used to run my kids to school etc. in my flannel.

9:02 am

Eva

ma5/12 a kind of ray (fishy thing)

9:02 am

ch1212

Eva, back in the early 70's I once had to hitch a ride in my flannel nightgown -- a colorful, comfy thing with beer logos on it. Had my guitar strapped to my back and wobbled along on my platform shoes. My point is that most folks thought the nightgown was just a 'granny dress.' (Obviously I was having fun in the 70's!)

9:02 am

Eva

ye6- guards people-ends with the opposite of females.

9:03 am

Eva

okay ch, I'll bite, why did you "have" to hitchin your nightgown? Yes, many of us were doing some rather interesting things in those days.

9:04 am

Angelsong

he5?

9:04 am

Vicuna

he5/14 - having to do with blood

9:05 am

Eva

okay-moving along to breakfast. And to do a stove check.

9:06 am

Eva

he5 - the bottom of a dress or pants + a 2 letter man's name

9:06 am

ch1212

Eva, I was young and silly, and some friends woke me up in the middle of the night to insist I take a road trip with them to Montana - woudn't even let me get dressed first. We were hours on the road before they confessed the car was STOLEN! I immediately got out. Ah, lots of lessons learned in the 70's...

9:09 am

ch1212

Done! Have to scramble off to work (I work in a church now, quite a respectable old lady :)
THANKS Vicuna and Eva for the clues --- tah all!

9:17 am

gramma

We all left Wisconsin 1 night headed for Florida in a cargo van. We cut of our pants..threw our shoes away. Brilliant, huh? We were going to the beach. We didn't need those winter clothes. Well, as you can imagine, we all came to our senses somewhere in Kentucky. We called in sick to work and started desperately pooling our pennies to buy what we could to return to our happy world. But, alas, we were in a dry county and we knew no one to help us out. So, we detoured to So. Illinois...Bad movery there too. Well ,to make a long story short, it was a long cold sobering ride back ;)

9:20 am

ch1212

Back for a second as I'm scrambling madly to get out the door -- gramma, I suspect our grankids (and kids) might be shocked to hear the adventures many of us had.. and the narrow escapes :) Have fun all!

9:20 am

Angelsong

la6?

9:24 am

Angelsong

one of the la4's at the beginning of the list is hiding from me. I am not sure how to explain the ones I have, so can someone provide clues for each? thanks.

9:24 am

ch1212

You're right, gramma -- I was honest with my daughter all along, which may account for her being the opposite of me at her age. She's just received her Masters Degree in Education, is competent, accomplished, and responsible. Took me MUCH longer.

9:25 am

Angelsong

never mind, got the la I needed.

9:25 am

harpjane

Hello.

Ahhh...
I toddled through the last two years of the 70's, skipped the assignment and went with the all knowing bunny.

10:24 am

hurshy

oh i didn't either, i was born in '77. hence my dilemma with icon choice for today. but then i thought, weren't pet rocks from the 70's? i can do something with that.

10:24 am

inge

I wouldn't mind paying my dues for playing so much. However, I have few computer skills and wouldn't know how to do icons, etc. Any advice?

10:24 am

hurshy

when i said "my" i just meant my icon, not my rock.

10:25 am

hurshy

it's not so hard, inge, we can walk you through it.

10:26 am

I was born in 70...so I wasn't really part of the "Glam Rock" culture either...but Google always does wonders for pictures!

I like it here too. I don't have any "friends", they kind of run off when you have five kids, not to mention my husband is a tad bit anti-social. This is the only adult conversation I have during the week. Two three year olds can only go so far when making conversation.

i was working on this MONSTER of a report -- 720 pages!!
basically, i have to look up each cross-referenced report that this one mentions, and include the report number, date, and another number for each entry.

well, this 720-page report had a TON of them.
i spent about 2 hours working on this, and i had probably a good 100 or so entries when i decided it might be a good idea to save my work before i continued...
when i hit save, it all disappeared.
ALL OF IT!!

turns out the system has a maximum capaticy for what it can hold and i exceeded it.
2 hours of work for NOTHING!

10:42 am

bunnyvicious

I don't want to think about that! I spent the night with my husbands sister when I was younger...uhmmm, really have to watch that ploy!

10:42 am

I threatened to cancel his b-day sleep over if he didn't start doing his work. The other day he refused to do his writing (again) Teacher told him that she was going to have to let me know - to which he replied "Do you know what you are doing to my life?" Teacher said she could barely contain her laughter.

10:46 am

LOL, how funny Lupe! Is this the one that was in here the other day, 10 yr. old?

10:46 am

EasternBlue

Snowy...Lupe...Oh my goodness!!!

Eva - it's good you don't have to redo the work....there are days when paper & pen are sorely missed!! : )

10:47 am

bunnyvicious

Sigh, have FOUR weddings in my future, should start saving now. (Maybe two of em will elope).

10:47 am

Lupe613

Eva - Maybe there was an auto backup? This morning my machine froze on me while working on a document I was working on and forgot to save. The backup saved a handful of the changes.

10:48 am

Lupe613

Yes bunny - he's hooked on babble now - I am using it as a weapon now - do your work or no Babble!!

10:48 am

burnsie

Just had the link to this site emailed to me this morning-the housework has suffered!!! But enjoying the challenge!!!

10:48 am

smithchick

One of my daughter's funny stories from when she was about four was when she was playing with the neighbor's new kitty. We called her in to dinner. About twenty minutes later we hear this pitiful meowing. I went out to the garage and there in the freezer was the kitty. She was saving it for later so she could pet it some more. Fortunately the kitty was okay.

10:48 am

doxy1lover

welcome burnsie

10:49 am

bunnyvicious

Poor kitty, good thing you found it! Imagine if she went to get it the next day!

10:49 am

bunny - I'm the youngest of 5 girls...the last to get married...when my father walked into the reception he stated "Free at last! Free at last..." My mother tried to shush him, but the guests laughed hysterically!!

10:49 am

snowyowl

We had only 1 to pay for - had one of each kind & stopped! But I did have only 7weeks notice of my daughters and she did decide to get married 4 days after her Graduation from university and 1 week after my annual holiday - I was lying on the beach planning wedding speeches etc! A very fraught time

10:49 am

doxy1lover

have to go for now. will be back later. Everyone have a good day.

Hi burnsie. Warning, addiction has commenced.

Frances

The things they say!!!
Conversation with my three year old granddaughter:
Me: You really shouldnâ€™t eat too many sweets.
TYOG: Why?
Me: Youâ€™ll end up really fat like me.
TYOG: But youâ€™re not fat.
Me: What would you call me then?
TYOG: (head to one side, hands on hips, cute look on face) Youâ€™re just a big girl!!!!

10:50 am

bunnyvicious

Eycsis is about to be ten, maybe I should throw her in here and use it as leverage too. We're having problems in school as well. It's always "I don't undefrstand... but she doesn't try.

How sweet that she didn't say your fat. My daughter asked me if her butt would get as big as mine one day.

10:51 am

bunny I have a grand daughter who only understands by seeing things...... have you tried different learning techniques

10:51 am

EasternBlue

francis ....out of the mouths of babes!!

bye doxy!!

Hi Blaze!!

10:52 am

smithchick

Bye, doxy. I was one of the middle of six girls, eva . My father definitely would sympathize with yours. His favorite thing to do at all of our weddings was to pull his empty pockets out of his pants. Always good for a laugh.

10:52 am

snowyowl

LOL Frances - hang on to the being perfect! Grand children are so uncritical! They just love you for you - it's the best relationship I've ever had!

10:52 am

Lupe613

LOL Frances!

10:52 am

bunnyvicious

Burnise, in a week you'll be shoveling a walk way through the house to get to the computer!

10:53 am

smithchick

Bunny, that's too funny. My kids are sweet about SAYING I'm not fat and then at the grocery store pointing out that there is some of that Slim Fast, shouldn't I get some?

10:53 am

bunnyvicious

Blaze, she's a bit of a drama queen. When no one is there to admire her performance, she can whip that work out in a wink...

10:53 am

EasternBlue

so burnsie - who was your 'evil' friend who mailed you the link??? anyone we know (by Babble name...)??

10:54 am

bunnyvicious

LOL!! Make sure you go grocery shopping with them when they get older and return the favor!

10:54 am

Blaze

aha.. you have it in hand then.....

10:54 am

smithchick

Oh, I guess that was eastern that was one of five girls. At least there was always plenty of girl supplies in the house. My poor father had to buy the Girl Stuff.

10:54 am

Frances

Talk about precocious. Her mother is Swedish and at three years old she is trying to teach me Swedish. All day long I get 'repeat after me......'

10:55 am

Lupe613

Just bought my son a Sudoku for Kids book as well. But he clearly could sit and play babble for hours if I let him.

10:55 am

EasternBlue

my father would never...

we were all more sporty/tomboys...so it wasn't all make-up & clothes...

10:55 am

bunnyvicious

In hand, yes, just can't close my fist around it. Don't really know how to solve it. Why would anyone let their grades suffer just for attention? I'm trying to figure out why thee need for it.

10:56 am

smithchick

I have six m4's. Are there any more? Or is it an m5 I'm missing?

10:56 am

snowyowl

I think 3 is a fantastic age! They just know it all and haven't really learned to be very self concious yet. Our Kira Jane is 3 and a delight! She's as sharp as a needle and very funny!

10:56 am

bunnyvicious

only 6 m 4's

10:57 am

She is my one and only grandchild and the very best thing that has ever happened to me.

10:57 am

smithie - missing 2 myself...so I'm not sure!!

10:57 am

Blaze

bunny attention and kids are like oxymorons..... who knows.... it may have to wait till she's 40 to get the true story

10:57 am

burnsie

Just have to wait for the weekend when hubby hasn't got work-he'll help with the housework!!!!

10:58 am

Lupe613

bunny - my son's therapist said to me the other day - "some kids will do anything for attention and negative attention is still attention." We were talking about the power struggles between my son and I and how I should not play into them (easier said than done).

10:58 am

bunnyvicious

The twins are three. I used to hear stories about a connection that twins shared, thought it was horse hockey, til I had these girls. I swear they mentally plot against me.
When they were babies, if they were in separate rooms, they would both get the hiccups at the same time or pop their eyes open at the same time without crying...weird!

10:58 am

tbear

Oh I wish my two teenage girls were 3and 4 again...I would do things so differentely....

10:58 am

Lupe613

Cool bunny!!

10:58 am

snowyowl

Well I got 5 in 3 and a half years! There was a set of twins in there tho'! Life is never dull and we are lucky enough to see an awful lot of them!

10:59 am

smithchick

Okay, for my m5's. I've got an ma5/18, ma5/12 x2 and an me5/12. Anyone know what I'm missing?

10:59 am

Lupe613
Nearly wet myself laughing - I read your post as 'my son the rapist'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:00 am

EasternBlue

bunny- when my sister had her twin girls, one was able to come home sooner than the other...my mom was at my sister's house with one baby who was sound asleep...at the exact moment my sister & bro-in-law came home with the other baby, she woke right up...

11:00 am

Lupe613

BITE YOUR TONGUE FRANCES!!! LOL!

Frances

Please pass the tissues to wipe the tears...........

11:01 am

snowyowl

There is something really special aboout twins isn't there? If ours are going to sit with you together one always sits on your right and the other on your left - we think this must be the way they were in the womb!

11:01 am

bunnyvicious

Lupe, if you don't give them the attention they want, won't they just try harder to get it?

11:02 am

EasternBlue

snowy - there are 3 sets in my family...
boy/girl
boy/boy (fraternal)
girl/girl (identical)

11:02 am

smithchick

Thank you bunny!! Now I'm just missing an a4 and an n4.

11:02 am

EasternBlue

I'll be back in a few...just going to grab something for lunch!!

11:02 am

bunnyvicious

Mine are mirror image, identical. One is right handed, one left. The both curve one side of their lip up when they smile, opp sides.... One is an angel, the other...welll....

11:03 am

bunnyvicious

Bye EB

11:03 am

Lupe613

I think she was trying to kindly tell me that when my son is obviously trying to engage me in a verbal back and forth I should just state what I have to say and ignore the growling or talking back (again, easier said than done).

11:04 am

smithchick

I've got a friend with twins, a boy and girl. Some of the things they got up to as toddlers were hilarious. She woke up one night to the sound of breaking glass. Her twins were in the living room throwing her china plates at the wall and laughing uproariously.

11:04 am

Deutsch

My grandmother gave birth to three sets of twins.

11:04 am

bunnyvicious

I agree. I have low tolerance for a child who is being disrespectful. I can't simply sit there and take, that's just saying it's ok.

11:05 am

bunnyvicious

OUCH! Three sets! Counting my blessings!

11:05 am

smithchick

That's a lot of twins. Maybe you guys can have a twins icon day. I've still not managed to take the time to figure out the whole icon thing. My computer skills are apparently limited to babbling.

11:07 am

Lupe613

Bunny I agree, which is why it's hard for me to take the therapist's advice.

11:08 am

snowyowl

LOl bunny - ours are identical but not mirror image twins. They are fascinating tho'.
T'bear - dont we all think of things we would do differently? I think all we can do with our kids is love em and teach them sound values. they shoould know right from wrong. What they do with their lives after is really their choice. I think most kids revert to the way they were brought up in the end - even if they run off the tracks in the middle. This happened to a neighbour of mine -she really disaired but now hrer daughter is happily married with a child and being really normal!

11:08 am

bunnyvicious

Does your therapist have kids? Or maybe she/he needs therapy themselves. Send your boy home with her/him for a week, they'll change their tune. i'll even kick in my 10 yr. old!

11:09 am

smithchick

Please help with n's!! I have na 4/7, na4/5, na4/4; no4/4, no4/5, no4/5, no4/5, no4/4 and no4/5.

11:09 am

That's me. I'm ashamed of some of the things I said and did as a teenager. I was awful. But just the other day, my mother told me how proud she was of me. Golden words!

11:10 am

EvaNadine

ok, got the SC5, but my other LA4 is just hiding from me...
i have the one that sounds like youre missing something.
i have 2 that sound like animals.
i have one that sounds like something thats really boring or stupid...

11:11 am

Lupe613

LOL Bunny! I sometimes question the value of taking him to her. When I take my son he's like a perfect angel around her. The other day she got a glimpse of him having an "attitude" - glad she finally witnessed it. That same day my son was upset that I printed an e-mail I received from his teacher to show to the therapist. He looks at me and says "do you have to tell the therapist EVERYTHING?" Uh - yes!

11:11 am

tbear

Snowy...as it was always only use three girls...my mistake was being their friend...great when young but hell now they're teenagers and i need to lay down rules. I am hating this time there is nothing good about it,but i know it changes. AND they are good kids,but still worry the life outta me!! Moan Moan Moan....sorry

11:11 am

Doll414

Lupe613 I ws just reading back through the posts and wonder if a rick I used with a student would help - he was the middle child and always acting up in class I moved his desk to the front, to the back, almost all around the room and no improvement finally I started to give him jobs and thanked him when they were done and the difference in him was amazing

11:11 am

smithchick

Eva, do you have the one having do with religion (actually, more earthly matters)?

11:11 am

snowyowl

I think the theory with the ignoring backchat is that they will get fed up if you keep it up long enough and only reward good behaviour- coming from the scream very loudly over the top of them school of parenting I can see your problem! LOL It is really hardand i intend to practise thede new skills on the grandchildren!

11:13 am

bunnyvicious

smithchick na 5/12, plural above it

11:13 am

smithchick

I think what the therapist has in mind, is if you remove yourself from the discussion, you are removing his audience and reason for acting up. Nothing frustrates a kid more than being ignored. I'm alway telling my bickering kids to just ignore the other, and they'll have the upper hand because the other kid isn't getting the reaction they desire.

11:14 am

Schroeder

Hi all,
Hi Temple, isn't today a special day :)

11:14 am

Exactly Snowy.... I am also from that school. My voice is loud even when I speak in a normal tone - imagine when I yell!? Suprised the neighbors haven't called the authorities on me at times!

11:14 am

snowyowl

I did the friend bit too T bear & it is difficult! then resorted to my dads way - When I used to say - 'well thats my opinion' He would reply ' when you're payning the bills and supporting yourself you can have all the opinions you want - until then all the opinions here are mine and your mothers!

11:15 am

EasternBlue

12:17 pm

Eva

Hi guys. Finished earlier but at home for the day with a cold and pouring rain, so thought I'd check and see what was going on and if anyone needed clues.

12:18 pm

EasternBlue

Hi Eva!!

Not quite sure what I'm missing yet!!

12:18 pm

Eva

Oh- the icon is the Star of India, the most glamorous rock I could think of given a complete lack of knowledge about glam rock.

12:18 pm

EasternBlue

*hands eva a hot toddy to help ease the discomfort of her cold*

12:18 pm

Schroeder

Hello, just stopping by.....
Is Temple Owl around? I believe it is her birthday today :)

12:19 pm

EasternBlue

Eva - I didn't know what is was until I Googled it!!

12:19 pm

FMitch

Morning/afternoon/evening!

Eva - love your intepretation of the theme today.

12:19 pm

Eva

Thank you. Am languishing under the comforter and actually not very uncomfortable-just tired.

12:19 pm

EasternBlue

Hi Schroe!!

I saw T-Owl earlier...rats! didn't know it was her birthday....

12:20 pm

smaller

Hi Tink!

Thanks for the info!!! Amazing how many lovely people have birthdays this week.

12:20 pm

EasternBlue

eva - but the hot toddy certainly won't hurt!!

12:21 pm

Schroeder

Eastern, your art work sure has improved...lol
Hopefully she will be back and we can sing for her....

12:21 pm

EasternBlue

Schroe - had to go w/ an 'actual' pix once I saw the topic...every once in awhile I have to do that!! : )

12:22 pm

Schroeder

Hiya Smaller, your birthdays over now, no more cake (unless Temple wants to share)

12:23 pm

Eva

I grew up in NY so used to go to the museum and look at the Star of India, and then there was the huge excitement when it was stolen by thieves, from what I recall, imitating the movie Topkapi. They couldn't keep their mouths shut about having done the heist and the jewels were ransomed back from them.

12:23 pm

smaller

Tink..
but that fat overhang from the waistband of tight pants is just not as HUGE as it can be with more cake

12:25 pm

chic

does anyone have a clue for the ca 5/14 ( the 2nd one)?

12:25 pm

EasternBlue

Eva - where in NY?? city?? or elsewhere in the state?

12:26 pm

Schroeder

Well just as long as you are working towards a goal Smaller *passes doughnut from own desk*

12:26 pm

hurshy

yes, it's an implausible plural

12:26 pm

smaller

evil, tink.
just evil

12:29 pm

hurshy

that was in answer to your ?, chic...

12:29 pm

Eva

EB, I grew up in the city, on the upper West Side, but left for college in 1967 and never lived there again. Even as a child I wanted to live in the country.

12:30 pm

Eva

chic-the word you want proves that it is always worth it to try adding esses to anything that doesn't move too quickly-even if you have never heard the word pluralized.

12:31 pm

Eva

hursy-can't make out your icon. You always have such interesting ones.

12:32 pm

hurshy

oh, well, the whole "70's glam rock" thing - i didn't know what it even was - i was born in '77, but then it occurred to me that pet rocks were also from the 70's, so i found a glamorous-looking one...

12:32 pm

hurshy

and *blush* thank you for the compliment eva :)

12:32 pm

Eva

okay- the rodent theme again, right?

12:33 pm

hurshy

well, it does happen to be dressed up as a mouse, but i don't have a rodent theme.

12:34 pm

Eva

Wasn't that your pet rat the other day, or am I confused (how could that be???)

12:35 pm

Schroeder

It's a very glamorous rock/mouse Hurshy

12:36 pm

hurshy

hmm...perhaps you're thinking of someone else. i have no pet rat. i have had pet hamsters, and once i did have a pic of one as an icon, but not recently.

12:36 pm

hurshy

thanks, schro.

12:39 pm

harpjane

I was a young adult in the 70's and I missed glam rock altogther. I was usually working three or four jobs....

12:40 pm

Eva

Interesting perspective on time and age-you were born too late to know about glam rock and I was born too early. I'm sure there are people my age who were into it, but it wasn't the music of my youth-that was really the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan and then Motown.

12:41 pm

hurshy

but you see, we can make do without knowing about glam rock.

12:42 pm

Eva

Yes indeedy-with a little ingenuity, a little coloring outside the lines.

12:42 pm

chic

I'm sorry, I was interupted. (today is my volunteer day at Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and all the regulars are at a conference) However none of your clues has jogged my brain. Could someoneplease try again?

12:42 pm

hurshy

chic - pl of ca 4/6

12:45 pm

chic

sounds like bad english... I've never used half of these words in sentences! Thanx, hurshy

12:47 pm

Schroeder

I tried that word just as a joke and was surprised when it took it...

12:47 pm

hurshy

what else is new? that is the way of babble. stick with letter linker if you want mostly words you've heard of. :)

12:48 pm

harpjane

Just came across an alternate definiton of ca 5/12:
A slender grooved lead bar used to hold together the panes in stained glass or latticework windows. (plural)
You learn something every day. Yesterday, J-Rock, today a leaded glass term!

12:49 pm

hurshy

which 5/12, harp, the 1st or the 2nd?

12:50 pm

harpjane

Sorry. Senior moment. It is the second ca 5/14. (not 5/12)

12:51 pm

chic

yesterday we learned what a chook is from MrPrez.

12:51 pm

hurshy

ohh. i missed the chook thing, what is it?

12:52 pm

EasternBlue

Eva - I grew up in northern NY (small town) and always thought I wanted to live in a big city, but I really don't!! : )

12:53 pm

EasternBlue

isn't a chook a kind of fish??

12:54 pm

EasternBlue

chic - cheers to you for volunteering for a GREAT foundation!!!

12:54 pm

Schroeder

I think he said it was chicken...

12:55 pm

chic

EB, you're thinking of chinook (salmon)

A chook is a chicken!

12:55 pm

EasternBlue

(smaller - I still have 8 words...darn conf. call - I thought I could just listen & people have the nerve to ask me questions!!)

12:55 pm

EasternBlue

chic - you are correct! I was...

but don't they say everything tastes like chicken anyway?? : )

12:55 pm

2:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

chyanne - look to the right of the page - under friedns of babble - if you click on the last site, babblers anonymous, you can get a list of how many words and the first two letters...

2:34 pm

chyanne

yeah, umm....... i've g2g! so, i'll see yuns later. i'll be on babble later!!!!!

2:34 pm

Karys

weell....you all better at it then me...!!!!

2:34 pm

hurshy

oh dear, did i appoint myself?
chyanne - go to the babblers anonymous link on the right side of this page, and look at the first posting under general. it contains all the stats for today's puzzle, including most helpfully a list, in alphabetical order, of all the words by their first two letters, length, and point value. the point value is straight off the tiles for the 4-letter words, but doubled for the 5's, tripled for the 6's, etc. this list should help you a lot. you can then ask for clues for the ones you can't find, and we can recommend other helpful websites for you like www.morewords.com.

2:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye chyanne and happy birthday!

2:35 pm

hurshy

oh dear, did i just type all that for nothing?

Karys

2:48 pm

hurshy

billie - what i meant by that last post was that usually we don't just throw out random clues, we like to know what someone needs, so we wait for you to ask about specific words...

2:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

anj -i haven't heard of them yet. i did hear t rex for the first time in ages yesterday - telegram sam...

2:52 pm

Yoink

I remember seeing an interview with Marc Bolan fairly recently, I never realised how camp he was! Awesome!

2:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

he was ahead of his time, for sure! i thought of him immediately for glam rock - although i liked bowie the most...

2:54 pm

Yoink

He was my thought first too Temple, but someone already had him so I looked elsewhere

2:54 pm

Anj

Temple, they sound like T Rex, Roxy Music and Mott the Hoople mixed with a bit of Motorhead and Sex Pistols but the sound is their own : )

2:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey - i thought of one good thing about being older! i 'm like a veritable docent of music over 4 decades!

Hi Anj!

3:59 pm

Anj

Hi Snowy : )

So EvaN, how was Bon Jovi? I take it they're touring to raise enough for Richie Sambora's divorce settlement... ; )

4:00 pm

EvaNadine

4:00 pm

rolin

4:00 pm

Anj

REALLY? I am curious... didn't float the ol' boat then?

4:02 pm

EvaNadine

well, they just played so much new stuff...which i guess is to be expected, but still...
and a lot of the older stuff they played either werent their big hits or else they changed the setup so they kinda took the *oomph* out of it...

they did play a few really good ones in there though, and luckily the encores were great, so they ended on a high note

4:02 pm

Anj

Hi Rolin...Miss Lane, US singer, plus an i : )

4:02 pm

sherb

And the man in the back said 'Everyone attack!'
And it turned into a Ballroom Blitz, Ballroom Blitz...

4:03 pm

Evan, where you close enough to see Jon Bon Jovi properly? That would have been enough for me...... :D lol

4:03 pm

EvaNadine

and the girl in the corner, let no one ignore her, cause she thinks SHES the passionate one!

4:03 pm

Anj

...and none of us had a clue what to do! Hi Sherb : D

4:04 pm

4:05 pm

hurshy

by the way, during our whole discussion of the saturday before easter, i didn't realize it was TAX DAY for us americans! that would have been another possible theme.

4:05 pm

sherb

hey Babs :D ...nice platforms...

4:06 pm

hurshy

i remember most of them babbler - just not quite all. :) but i'm sure it is my memory at fault and not your skills!

4:06 pm

Babbler

oh Evanadine!!! *swoon* :s You lucky thing!!! :D

4:06 pm

Babbler

Sherb, don't laugh, but I have a pair of shoes similar to these, in black & white! : )

4:07 pm

Babbler

I put them all in the same night, hurshy! Took me a wee while...... ; )

4:07 pm

sherb

Babs - I remember going to school in shoes like that... how did we get away with it...

4:07 pm

Babbler

hurshy - sounds like your Tax Day would be another good reason to wear black that day then? : )

4:08 pm

hurshy

i can see how it would have! i guess i just forgot i suggested renaissance day.

about tax day - i guess it would!

4:08 pm

Sherb,

EvaNadine

4:13 pm

snowyowl

Platforms were great if you were 5'2 on tip toe like me!
I think I had a pair in every colour including buttercup yellow!

4:13 pm

sherb

hey smaller :D ...I was going to be so cool as Marc Bolan, but Sweet sum up the full awfulness of Glam Rock so well...

4:14 pm

sherb

snowy - I'm 5' 8", so platforms made me feel like a giant... and I was much more self-conscious about my height in those days...

4:15 pm

snowyowl

I chose Bryan Ferry cos I had a hloiday fling with someone who looked just like him! He had loadsa money, great clothes, a fab car, a great personality -and then I found out he had a wife too! CREEP!!!!!!!

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran...

I knew Leo G. Carroll
Was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot
When I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes
Gave him the runes

Babbler

How do you do
I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down because
When you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania

Actually, my "I'm in!" phrase does not necessarily mean I'm IN the blueberry pie; It's a phrase I picked up from a British chap I met in Baku. To me, it means "I'm in the game!" or "Count me in!"

9:03 pm

musicmom

joJo that sounds scary. I have pinot noir or a cheap citrus flavored blend. Not too bad. The brand name is Frezia. A friend left it here. There is also one dark beer but you might have to fight my husband for it.

9:04 pm

mamabear

hmmm... does dark beer go with dark chocolate? anybody?

9:05 pm

musicmom

It does if you're desperate. Personally, I very rarely drink a beer. I have it on hand for making beer bread.

9:06 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Musicmom: I take anything at this time. Imagine, Seahawks going to the SB for the first time ever, and Seattle fans can's watch it because of this storm. I need a drink. But, we have put gas in our Motorhome, and have made plans for the generator to put power into the house, ~~ at least for the TV, for cryin' out loud!!

9:07 pm

musicmom

Here you can have the whole bottle of Pinot Noir - haven't even uncorked it. Or, you could fly here. We will definitely be rooting for the Seahawks. We're supposed to get some snow but it isn't supposed to be bad out.

9:08 pm

9:21 pm

mamabear

You are so honest, GW!!! I KNEW I saw a gumball machine in there!!! He was a gumball machine in a PREVIOUS life!!

9:22 pm

torgone

9:34 pm

mamabear

I found it fun to see how the older siblings embraced the arrival of a new baby. When my third was born, my husband took the other 2 to the toy store to pick out gifts to bring to their new sister in the hospital. My daughter bought her a rattle, my son brought her a rubber snake. The hospital wouldn't allow it in the incubator with her though, for some reason! LoL

9:35 pm

9:38 pm

9:44 pm

pbr

How do you do the icon?

9:45 pm

renfield

BOOM!!!!BOOM!!!!BOOOMMMMM!!!!
i loke black cat firecrackers!!!!!!!!!

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

pbr -- it is one of the few perks of going Pro

9:46 pm

mamabear

pbr - you need to join the ranks of pro in order to post an icon, flag, bio, etc. It is only a one time charge of $9.95 and well worth it as you have access to the stats panel, which is helpful in grid completion.

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Once you are pro, you can upload images from your PC or from sites on the net to use as icons -- you also get to fill in your bio so you can get a handbag and flag next to your name

9:47 pm

pbr

I just did the pro thing tonight -- course, I don't know how it works.

9:47 pm

musicmom

Okay. I need help. .. af6/30 ; the last an 4/4 (I think I have the one that is an+4th vowel+1st vowel and I know I have the first one

9:48 pm

mamabear

pbr - at the upper right hand of your screen, click on Profile. That is where you fill out all your info

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

pbr - click on the 'My Profile' button at the top right and then fill in the blanks -- you pick an icon there, by hitting the edit button and following the instructions

9:49 pm

mamabear

I think you need the an 4 that is an** retentive (someone who knit picks at everything)

9:49 pm

Anuja

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

I have just changed my icon to the pic I took of Kristianna when we took Sebastian home, she was very excited -- especially since the hospital volunteer that makes the caps for the newborns gave one to her as well, so they matched :)

9:53 pm

mamabear

9:54 pm
