12:20 am

smithchick

Sorry, GreyWoulf. Not used to daddy's who are actually dressing a child and taking care of it. My hubby is old school. When he did change the baby, it was usually dressed with backwards or inside-out clothes. That is no exaggeration.

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

no prob, smithchick --- so hoot was my dad that bad?

12:22 am

*crickets chirping*

1:44 am

Chessy

morning babblers :)

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Chessy -- seems like I am the only one active right now

1:46 am

Chessy

maybe everyone is heads down and searching. how is your new boy?

1:47 am

GreyWoulf

doing well -- I just had to change him completely --- he spit up some of his last meal while in the bassinet -- I am waiting for him to quiet down to turn in myself :)

1:49 am

Chessy

love the family photos. It always seems amazing how much uproar one tiny creature can produce :)

1:51 am

GreyWoulf

I am glad for the uproar -- it confirms my faith in existence -- when the glory of birth loses its wonder, the race is doomed in my mind

1:52 am

Chessy

it is a miracle every time :)

1:53 am

Jera

Good morning, all... how goes the battle??

1:53 am

GreyWoulf

indeed!

though another minor miracle to me is that the C has 48 words that it starts! :D

1:53 am

Chessy

morning Jera. A bit like trying to plait sand :)

1:54 am

Chessy

LOL GW

1:55 am

GreyWoulf

Not too bad, Jera -- though I have to turn in now, before I had to stop to feed Seb I hit my hundred, but now that the momentum is lost, I am kinda glad I need to go sleep

1:56 am

Jera

Just got up to speed with you & now you have to go... good night, GW!

1:57 am

Jera

Yet we press on, right, Chessy! I am just distracting myself waiting for painkillers to kick in... good way to get a head start!

1:58 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry about that Jera :)

But I go back to work today/later and his night pattern is all screwy right now --- he sleeps long until the first feeding -- then it seems like he is up every hour or so --- definitely pretty draining

1:59 am

GreyWoulf

So good night, ladies, good night

(*Hugs*)

1:59 am

Chessy

Nite GW, hope you get some rest :)

2:00 am

Jera

No problem... I remember those days still!

4:31 am

trishtrash

5:46 am

Adsman

wow... that makes you a double ledgend... & you Dal...

5:48 am

dalmatian5

Don't you wonder where some of these words originated? It sure is a gretway to add words to the vocabulary.

5:49 am

dalmatian5

Opps, my typing is as bad as my babbling : (

5:50 am

trishtrash

some of them fascinate me, dal :) and today's grid is certainly full of oddities!

5:51 am

FMitch

Wait til you get to the ro's!!

6:26 am

Dachef

FMitch - yup - happened yesterday to. Got so fed up with it I never even got close to finishing.

I just refreshed the page to get rid of a lock-up and could not get back on for over half hour.

Something somewhere has gone horribly wrong........

6:27 am

FMitch

2nd time today it's happened, glad it's not just me.
Am going to keep my head down and get this finished incase it falls over again. Mind you still got 80+ left to go.

6:29 am

6:30 am

Eva

I've been experiencing these kinds of problems for the past month or so.

6:31 am

Eva

6:35 am

6:36 am

Jacula

Hi folks. 102 words found here so far but with great difficulty getting them in, as the site keeps locking up.

Bit miffed that I can't have 'himbo' (male equivalent of a 'bimbo'). And why isn't 'gorm' a word? If you can be gormless then surely there must be some 'gorm' in the first place. :-)

6:36 am

Eva

hi gem!

6:36 am

Eva

Yes Jacula-had a gorm snit a while ago myself.

6:37 am

6:50 am

gramma

Jacula, I got it....tya

6:50 am

Eva

Thank you trish & dalmatian! Got your wonderfully juicy clues and then got bounced off the site again for a while. The British/American spelling thing got int he way of seeing those (that's my excuse and I'm sticking by it!). Pretty feeble. But I still havent got the co one.

6:50 am

Jacula

Sorry, Gramma. Site froze up on me again. Never mind, the clue might help someone else.

6:51 am

FMitch

Just dropped Dr_G an email re the unstability.

6:52 am

gramma

Jacula, never apologize for helping...:)

6:52 am

Eva

6:52 am

gramma

Good girl, FMitch. I appreciate a woman of action!

6:53 am

Eva

YES!! Got it. What a nice word.

6:54 am

Eva

FMitch-for future reference, how do you get in touch with Dr God? I used to have an email address but have lost it.

6:54 am

Jacula

Well done, Eva!

FMitch - Thanks. I've saved my words to notepad in case he takes the site down for a while. Think I'll take advantage of the sunshine here and pop down to the greengrocer's to get some nice, fresh vegs for tonight.

6:55 am

FMitch

LOL gramma.

Eva - click on the comments/questions box on the right of the screen.

6:56 am

Eva

Thanks. Only if the problem is that I can't access the site, then I can't click the box(;:

6:57 am

gramma

7:02 am

7:55 am

Adsman

7:55 am

Haz1558

The fact that I'm not writing a novel is neither here nor there.

:)

8:37 am

EasternBlue

Haz - that isn't a vote of confidence to start it!!

Maybe I'll just hang out & chat (altho' I have mounds of work I 'should' be doing!!)

8:38 am

Haz1558

I've started it but know that I won't finish it - my prize-winning (potential) will need my urgent attention today. That's to be my excuse for non-completion of the grid.

8:38 am

EasternBlue

*passes over a hot toddy for eva's sore throat*

less work is a good thing...

and if you get a real cake - even better!!

8:38 am

Great - spread the word!

8:54 am

Angelsong

8:55 am

Haz1558

Your guess is as good as mine on that one! Sorry, Angelsong, I haven't got it yet. (Possibly never will at the rate I'm going.)

8:58 am

Chessy

ab7 has no def. try a + b4/6, with es as plural ending ...

8:59 am

joey

ab 7 - here is the definition - but you have to make it plural....Nonliving: The abiotic factors of the environment include light, temperature, and atmospheric gases.

9:00 am

Angelsong

AB7: AB +third and fourth vowels+a short form of a female sibling.

9:02 am

Haz1558

Thanks for the ab. Taking the dog for a walk. Hopefully the grid will have rearranged itself by the time I get back. Otherwise the novel-writing will have to start in earnest...

Hi Anj. I like your spronger! Oops! I mean 'space hopper'. Our family name for it is a 'spronger' due to The Perishers cartoon from the Daily Express many years ago. Baby Grumpling or Marlon (can't remember which) used to bounce round on one and it always had 'SPRONG!SPRONG! SPRONG!' written by it. :-)

11:29 am

11:34 am

Haz1558

bi 7 - add donkeys

11:34 am

bunnyvicious

Gingersnaps will work I think with a light coating of egg white after I crush em up. The twins can help with the crushing.

11:35 am

Schroeder

Sounds good Bunny, if you mail me a piece that will save me from making it and eating the whole thing...

11:35 am

Jacula

I'll have to put a recipe for making ginger biscuits in BabAnon and then, if you can bear to, you can crush them to make the cheesecake base.:-)

11:36 am

Lola,
"share"? i do not understand this word you use. i looks like english. i think i can sound it out phonetically. the meaning, though, eludes me.

1:24 pm

Quick--commit me, pleeeez! I'm too far gone to save myself! My daughters got me hooked here--and I thought they liked me! EasternBlue--after I'm locked up will you send me a pretty cake (sans file since I could use the vacation) like you sent evanadine? Mo5 filling, please!

very primitive, lola. you had to use a stick kind of thing to do it -- like, you made marks on this stuff called paper... I don't know, it was a long time ago.

1:33 pm

lola100

mab, yes...I remember now. I used to be able to put those down, do other things and then return to them later. Very unlike babble.

1:34 pm

My husband and I have a theory that there is always a penguin on television, somewhere. If not a nature program, then a cartoon, or an old movie with dancing men in tuxedos. We think it's some sort of homage that the programmers secretly pay to the days of black & white tv.

2:22 pm

Of course, that's just my opinion! lol

that's some libido.

oh yeah, yoink? and your penguin just holds it?

*lola hands schro a glass of pink bubbly*

4:00 pm

Tim

Sweet .....I'll see what I can come up with...: )

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

mo

i am having great trouble with the ro words i only have the ro5/12 and a ro6/21....if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be very pleased tyvm

4:03 pm

Schroeder

Hi Mo, try a type of lettuce

4:03 pm

mab

It's horse poo! it's essentially clumped hay! is that so terrible?! actually, a scoop might be a good idea.

4:04 pm

lola100

Hi mo : )
Try adding the 'hoop' vowel to the end of the ro you already have and pluralising that.

4:04 pm

Deutsch

Mab, I just gave her a zebra. (refresh). A scoop might be helpful

4:05 pm

M&M

I'm sorry, but what is the meaning of the ab word? I have it, but never seen it.

4:06 pm

smaller

Hi again all!

We should have a "poop" theme day. I took pics of my son's poop when he was born. B/c it was cute.
2 year old poop is not so cute now

4:06 pm

Schroeder

Deutsch, Zebras make good pets. We have a rancher here that breeds them, also mixes them with donkeys and mules....

4:06 pm

mab

And yoink gave her penguin.

4:06 pm

mo

Schroeder and Lola thank you very much

4:07 pm

lola100

smaller, 3 year old poop is even less so : /

4:07 pm

Deutsch

Shroeder, that sounds interesting. does he have a web site?

4:08 pm

lola100

mo, take your original ro5/12 and add the 'me' vowel before the last letter and the second vowel at the end. Pluralise for the ro8 : )

4:09 pm

Schroeder

I don't think so, but I will find out. I have pictures of my daughter sitting on them when she was little....
Welcome back Smaller

4:09 pm

mab

oh smaller let's not do. Your child will thank you for that photo when he's 17.

4:10 pm

lola100

mo, take the ro5/12 again and add three letters that sound like what you see with. Pluralise for the 9 : )

4:11 pm

smaller

i even took a photo of the change in poop color from breast milk to formula milk.
that was cute too. : )

4:12 pm

Deutsch

Thanks, Shoreder, you should use that photo as your icon someday.

4:12 pm

mo

lola thanks i just got those all i need now are thero7/32 and ro8/45 if you can help please

4:16 pm

lola100

mo, take the ro5/12 and add the third vowel before the last letter and the second vowel on the end. Pluralise for the 8 : )

4:16 pm

Schroeder

Hi Mo that would be lettuce, RO + the small US state on the east coast

4:16 pm

redshoe

ah, a southern babe...that's why so nice!

8:26 pm

smithchick

You too:)

8:26 pm

aknitter

redshoe, does that mean we northerners are mean???

8:26 pm

redshoe

ty, ty...I'm just a well-seasoned southern babe....

8:27 pm

redshoe

nope, knitter...just that southerners are known for their hospitality...we make friends standing in line.

8:28 pm

aknitter

too cold to stand in line around here!!

8:28 pm

smithchick

Of course not, aknitter! I'm missing an hi4/5. I've monkey-typed and can't come up with it.
I've got hurries, and female chicken spelled with i.

8:28 pm

redshoe

the converse is often true as well...people not from the south often think southerners are a bit "slow" since we tend to smile a lot

8:29 pm

smithchick

We're supposed to get a piddly 2-3 inches of snow tomorrow. We haven't had one good snow all year. My kids are NOT happy about it.

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

smithchick

I've been all over this dang grid.

8:30 pm

redshoe

smithchich, you will not believe this one thanks to the recent posts, but try hi 4 like you might see on the men's restroom in a campy place like Cracker Barrel

8:31 pm

smithchick

The drawl doesn't help either. I was an Air Force brat, so I traveled around a lot until I was about 9, so I don't have much of one but my nephew is 11 and has a very pronounced drawl and he sounds dumb as a rock. He's actually very intelligent. He just reminds me of this big lumbering creature because of his size and accent.

8:32 pm

redshoe

oh, no smith chick...I was army brat to age 17 and army wife from 22-37

8:33 pm

redshoe

sorry that should have been 31

8:33 pm

smithchick

Thanks redshoe!!! Definitely qualifies as a stupidhead word. Dogpatch here I come!

8:34 pm

redshoe

last requests?

8:34 pm

Vicuna

so6/18 please?

8:35 pm

smithchick

My hubbie did a stint in the Army National Guard and hated it, so "our" military was short and didn't involve any travel. My sister and her hubby are both in the Air Force and another sister is married to an Air Force guy. They've been to England, Germany, Guam, etc.
My one sister has done a couple of TDY's to different places.

8:37 pm

redshoe

so 6/18 - having a large bosom and pleasing curves
starts with the same 4 letters as the word above...sounds like the cool guy from "Happy Days"

8:38 pm

Vicuna

Thank you. Thank you.

8:39 pm

redshoe

Seems weird to me to live in one place...but I've been here now since '88.

8:39 pm

My name doesn't start with so, redshoe! And it is only five letters!

8:57 pm

smithchick

The very last 4 is a snack or light meal.

8:57 pm

aknitter

smithchick, thanks for the 8 letter clues, got them all now, and the 9's.

10:20 pm

smithchick

YW. I was trying to help musicmom before she had to leave, but while I was busy typing away, she left. So I'm glad somebody else got good use out of them. I didn't want anyone to be miffed because I gave too much away.

10:21 pm

smithchick

Tell me about it. I worked on them for about an hour and a half last night, 30 min. this morning, and about three and a half hours this evening. I didn't even try not to use bj's list. Although I didn't break it out until I needed 65 more words.

10:46 pm

Cmith

what is smaller going on about? does she need another chocolate fix?

10:46 pm

doxy1lover

I think she does.

10:46 pm

smaller

dooooxxxxeeyyee,
but the grid's being mean. These words are stoooopid.

Smithchick,
If I vow to never use these words, they should magically jump onto my list

10:47 pm

smaller

LOL Csmith,
It's probably a sugar low!

10:47 pm

smithchick

Now that's true. These could be some of the most stupid words ever! Hello, Cmith:)

10:49 pm

Cmith

no4/4: plural negatives or french black?

10:49 pm

smaller

Can I be farrah? You know, back before the naked painting and wacked out talk show appearances?

10:53 pm

Cmith

I had to look this up after I found it - it's a silly hat!

mo 6/ 21 a crested metal helmet OR me in the middle of a mentally challenged person

10:53 pm

pbr

10:53 pm

kristinc

11:02 pm

smaller

LOL Cmith!

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Hello everyone -- have 123 to find including the co8 (stickiness) and the se8 -- tried using the clues from earlier but am not seeing them :)

11:03 pm

Cmith

Bye, smaller. Did you finish?

11:03 pm

doxy1lover

hi GW. the co - remember the gluey one from yesterday ad*******

11:03 pm

Cmith

se 7/ 32 flowering plant OR se4/4 + 2/3 of Italian goodbye
se 8/ 45 plural of se7/32 (flowering plants)

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Now I do, doxy -- thanks ;)

11:04 pm

doxy1lover

the se - it's easiest to google the daisy genus def.

11:06 pm

smithchick

Hi, GreyWoulf. If you have a group that is very tight, (stick together) you have co*****n, then the plural.
se4/4 +the second consonant + the middle three of your ab7 word.

11:08 pm

GreyWoulf

what ab word? ;D

I haven't hit brandyjack's list yet

11:10 pm

GreyWoulf

wow -- I sound like such a newb right about now :D

11:11 pm

smithchick

the ab7/36 word is an odd one (to me, anyway) meaning absence of life. It's got one of the bi4/6's in it and ends in the two letter plural prefix.

11:12 pm

Cmith

ab 7/ 36 (plural) absences of life OR a + life stories + squiggly letter

11:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you, thank you -- I now have both the ab and the se :)

And got a lesson along the way to always remember to burp the baby after feeding -- thankfully he spit up all over the swaddling cloth and not the daddy or the clean outfit I just put on him :D

11:18 pm

smithchick

Oh no, GreyWoulf. Not things I miss. My first son spit up after every feeding whether he was burped or not. Completely soaked the burp cloth every time.

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

he's usually pretty good with minimal if any -- I just let myself get distracted :)

11:21 pm

pbr

i have three left -- one of which is sa5/16 - any help?

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

sa + hello + b

11:22 pm

smithchick

sa5/16 term of respect used for a European man in colonial India.

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Definitely not finishing this one -- still have over 100 to go-- didn't think I would -- had to return to work today :)

11:23 pm

kristinc

haylp! I'm missing one of the first three no 4/4s before the first 5/10 (a 4/4...I know!) I have the opposite of affirmative plural and the prefix for nine. Can someone help me with the other 4/4?

11:24 pm

GreyWoulf

it is the dark no -- as in film no**

11:24 pm

kristinc

update...either the first or second no 4/4

11:25 pm

kristinc

gotcha...not sure how I missed that! Thanks GW. How did the first day go?

11:25 pm

pbr

GreyWoulf and smithchick --thanks, I am done and am going to bed -- I have a full day of work tomorrow -- training, interviewing potential new employee and dr. appt.

11:28 pm

hootowl

Hi Kris. Not even close! Only 151 words. Didn't even try.

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi hoot (*HUG*)

kristi -- the new new job starts on monday --- at which point I will most likely only pop on the log during the week to say hi as I will have to get up VERY early (for me) and still deal with the midnight feedings :)

11:29 pm

hootowl

And the no's are only one of 3 letters I completed!

11:30 pm

kristinc

Hoot...well done enough to help...Well done! 10 left for me.

11:30 pm

Gotcha...just curious. Good luck with the new new job then too! I'll let you keep hunting :)

11:34 pm

doxy1lover

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

not really hunting -- more like firing random shots into the brush and seeing what falls over ;D

11:35 pm

hootowl

Weird - tried to send a message and it locked up. Everything else worked. Restarted Babble.
Was asking if maybe I had more imagination woulf?

11:35 pm

smithchick

Searched high and low for that one. It was my very last one to find.

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

maybe, hoot, or maybe you just had more time today :)

11:37 pm

hootowl

Any chance of getting the last ac 7? Might as well get points.

11:37 pm

Cmith

ac 7/ 32 divided as in a gland OR ac + 1st person pronoun + smelling organ

11:39 pm

hootowl

Didn't spent any time on it. Put in 70-75 words last night, printed out the list today and tried to fill in. Only been on for about an hour and picked up a few clues and did some searching on-line. BF was home today so was not on cmp. Will be the same for next 3 days.

11:40 pm

hootowl
