Debs40ish

A few!...lol

1:20 am

sprite

Morning dear gang! This looks like a NASTY one!

1:21 am

Debs40ish

Morning Sprite... It isn't as bad as it looks..

1:22 am

sprite

I see... at least 3 6s with the same ending :)

1:22 am

Blaze

I have made a few cracks in ti a bit twisty though

1:24 am

sprite

What's the opposit of credit? In Dutch it is debet, but that isn't valid :(

1:25 am

Blaze

it's what you owe only four letters... only one vowel.....

1:25 am

sprite

Ah... so close! Sorry, I am not completely awake yet, apparently.

1:27 am

Blaze

I think the word boob should be in this one....

1:27 am

sprite

It definitely should.

1:29 am

sprite

Why, if O4/6 is valid, isn't A4?

1:32 am

Blaze

missing a vowel ((??))

1:33 am

sprite

You can make A4 from the bottom A... but it is not a valid word. Seems enable only says O2 and never A2.

1:41 am

Blaze

Good Luck to all... reality calls I must depart for now..... see you later or tomorrow....

1:42 am

sprite

Bye Blaze

There is a P4 without vowels...

2:09 am

rolin

2:09 am

rolin

so there is...lol

2:09 am

sprite

Without vowels and no y. It's a sound word. Once you've found it, you will say it.

2:11 am

sprite

Done. Not so hard after all. Any clues needed before I split?

2:11 am

rolin

2:12 am

Haz1558

Hello, musicmom - I've literally just finished the grid. There's no BJ list yet, I think, but managed it by scrolling back through the log for clues. Happy hunting!

7:12 am

musicmom

Thanks Haz!I have 26 words and I just sat down here. I will definitely go back through the log.

7:13 am

musicmom

Congrats on the finish btw.

7:14 am

Haz1558

Thank you - I'm also feeling triumphant because I've managed to pick up some Frasier DVD's at sale prices.

7:15 am

musicmom

Even better!<g>

7:16 am

musicmom

I'm excited because for the second Wednesday in a row I don't have to run out any where today. May take the kids to the library when they get home from school - or maybe not:-)

7:23 am

Haz1558

See how the grid goes before you decide!

7:24 am

musicmom

heheee. I don't mind a tough grid if I have time to sit here for a stretch and play. I hated it Monday when there were sooo many words because I didn't have time to really put my mind into it.

7:25 am

musicmom

Oh you meant about the library (duh). Yeah it will depend on how the grid goes and how grouchy the five year old is.

7:33 am

Haz1558

Sorry for not answering there -I was making lunch which is now ready. Have a good day!

7:34 am

musicmom

No problem. Enjoy!

Evan-Hi ((((((((x))))))) goodmorning. Yes afro is a hair style and yes I agree it should be a word but as many times as I have typed it, it won't take it. What's up....I'm still looking though.

8:04 am

faeriekae

MusicMom - You be my cheerleader and I'll be yours. I will give it my best shot between the phone and the dog I know I can do it.

Haz1558

Hello, Faeriekae - the sun is shining here today for a change. Lets me see how dirty my windows are, though.

8:10 am

Judi

Morning, kids! Grid looks kind of nasty today.

8:11 am

Hi Judi

8:12 am

Haz1558

The dark days of winter are horrible - you can understand animals hibernating. I do find that I need at least some time in the fresh air to feel right.

8:13 am

Haz1558

Oh, and good morning Judi.

8:14 am

faeriekae

Haz - I could hibernat. I do go skiing and snowmobiling and snowshoeing and all that crap that I don't like just to be outside. I would rather be on a beach. Sand between my toes.

8:14 am

hurshy

greetings, all.

8:15 am

Haz1558

Well, Ireland isn't the place for you, that's for sure!

musicmom

Thanks for that Haz. I've been looking all over.

8:23 am

Haz1558

It's one of those old English words - meaning benefit or advantage rather than anything to do with animals.

8:24 am

hurshy

behoove i know, but this version...

8:25 am

Haz1558

It's all part of the great learning curve.

8:25 am

Hi Toe

8:27 am

musicmom

That sounds bad Toe. You should just babble

8:29 am

miametro

8:29 am

hurshy

8:29 am

hurshy

miametro - you do it to a fish before you eat it

The pf word is a description of sound. No vowels.

8:30 am

miametro

8:30 am

musicmom

Thanks again haz.

8:31 am

ToeSockMonkey

Yes babble will cure it I am sure :) helps with lots

8:31 am

hurshy

hmm, perhaps that is a tribute to jacula's huge raspberry of last night then?

8:32 am

musicmom

I would have never monkeyed something without a vowel. I've been all around that pf.

8:34 am

Judi

I must protest. The pf4 is really a sound, not a word. Harumph.

8:34 am

Adsman

love the name by the way Toe

8:34 am

faeriekae

Thanks got the pf - never would have found it with out your clue Haz.

8:36 am

hurshy

i'm the jack of diamonds, in case you can't make it out

8:36 am

ExWren

Another successful day! If only they were all small lists, we might get other things done in during the day.

8:36 am

hurshy

8:36 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - way to go *%*%*%*%*fireworks*%*%*%*%*

8:43 am

musicmom

OOOOH me neither. Makeup is YUCK!

8:43 am

Adsman

I dint wear make up either (hehehe)

8:44 am

musicmom

Well, look at that. I only have 7 words left. I didn't realize I had put so many in. WHoohooo!

8:44 am

hurshy

i used to play go fish with farm animal cards. it was before my sisters were born or old enough to play, so i would play with my stuffed animals, sitting around a little table having pretend tea. i would say, "puppy, do you have any goats?"

8:44 am

Haz1558

Well now, a little bit here and there can work wonders. I don't like the slap it on with a trowel look, though.

8:44 am

musicmom

That's a good thing adsman.

8:44 am

hurshy

adsman - i'm guessing from your name that there is a good reason for that.

8:44 am

miametro

not getting that ha 6 clue :/

8:45 am

Adsman

You think? : )

8:45 am

musicmom

Considering how many stupid words I asked for clues for the past couple of days I figured go fish was appropriate. My girls LOVE that game.

8:45 am

hurshy

ok, so i do use a bit of concealer on the blemishes - but i don't count that as makeup. it's not to make me look good, just to keep me from looking revolting.

8:45 am

Haz1558

Miametro - use the last four letters of Miss M's name

8:45 am

hurshy

and miametro - think about the points - there's not much it can be...

8:46 am

miametro

i'm only missing the ha 6/24 now. i've been terrible with the long words today!#

8:46 am

hurshy

ha 6/24 past tense of prev ha4

8:46 am

musicmom

add past tense ending to the 4/5

8:46 am

faeriekae

Hursh-MusicMom - no makeup - I don't leave the house without it. When people say go put your face on...That's me LOL. I'm just don't feel pretty without it.

8:47 am

Adsman

Im sure its not needed Hurshy..

8:47 am

Haz1558

past tense of ha 4/5

8:47 am

hurshy

well faerie, i don't feel particularly pretty either - but the heck with feeling pretty.

8:47 am

hurshy

don't forget, charlie sloane said being smart is better than being pretty :)

8:48 am

musicmom

I wore a bunch when we were in college. But my husband really doesn't like it. He actually gets nauseated from the odor in a lot of it. We dated for about 3 months before I realized he was serious that it was making him sick. I use a little moisturizer and that is all.

8:48 am

musicmom

Absolutely Hurshy! And being so brilliant (haha) I need a clue for the fe 5/18.

8:48 am

faeriekae

I wish I was confident enough to go without it but I grew up with 6 sisters who all wore it soooooooo need I say more.

8:48 am

hurshy

musicmom - you might have one around your yard

8:49 am

Haz1558

Don't sit on it, musicmom

8:49 am

hurshy

haz - now she'll think it's "feces"

8:49 am

faeriekae

Musicmom and then past tense

8:49 am

musicmom

OH BROTHER!!! Now you know why I have a fish. Smack smack smack.

8:50 am

Haz1558

No she won't. She's clever.

8:50 am

musicmom

Amazing! and there was the 6/33 too.

8:50 am

faeriekae

Musicmom - to keep critters in or out of your yard

8:50 am

hurshy

well i'm just saying, it was open to interpretation. :)

8:50 am

musicmom

OOWEEWEE Hurshy. YUCK!

8:50 am

musicmom

brb - phone call

8:51 am

hurshy

that reminds me of something funny. the garfield "sit" diet. you are allowed to eat anything you would be willing to sit on. so, you know, vegetables and things are fine, but gooey chocolate cake and ice cream are out.

8:51 am

Haz1558

By way of information the ha4/6 was originally a type of low fe5 which kept animals in but didn't spoil the view from large houses.

8:52 am

faeriekae

ba 4/12 please.

8:52 am

Adsman

The conversation quickly goes downhill very quickly

8:52 am

hurshy

look at the number of points again faerie

8:53 am

hurshy

and the silly adsman is very silly

8:53 am

musicmom

Okay I'm back. Faerie - use the numbers today. ba and da are only one option.(both the same option)

8:53 am

Adsman

Me silly never.. honset Guv

8:54 am

hurshy

we may be a bit gross or sketchy at times, but we aren't every REALLY inappropriate. when trolls like that post Dr_God blocks them.

8:54 am

faeriekae

TY (silly me)

8:54 am

musicmom

I like that diet Hurshy.

8:54 am

hurshy

that word was "ever" not every, oops

8:55 am

musicmom

haha found the pe6 before I asked --- sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees.

8:56 am

hurshy

careful, musicmom....!

8:56 am

Adsman

To be honest Hurshy I was just playin.. I like the crack on this board

8:56 am

hurshy

:) adsman.

8:57 am

hurshy

oh, and i forgot to thank you for the compliment earlier, adsman. while it is of course entirely meaningless in this context, strangely enough, i am flattered anyway.

8:57 am

Haz1558

Adsman - they'll be asking you to explain 'crack'

8:57 am

musicmom

What is that they say about pride coming before a fall?

8:57 am

hurshy

no, i get it haz - clear from context

8:58 am

hurshy

are you referring to yourself, MM, and need another clue?

8:58 am

musicmom

Yep I got it too. I may start using it here though. My daughter thinks of crack as something completely different.

8:58 am

musicmom

I'm not asking yet. I'm down to two words. I probably will cave and ask but I'm still searching.

8:59 am

hurshy

well, there would really be no way to have that sort of crack in cyberspace

8:59 am

Adsman

YW Hurshy i'm here to please :)

Haz I think i'm safe

8:59 am

hurshy

adsman, do you work in advertising, then?

9:00 am

Adsman

No Hurshy Why you ask

9:00 am

hurshy

well because of your name, of course. "murder must advertise" is one of my favorite dorothy sayers books, and lord peter temporarily works in the ad biz in that book.

9:01 am

ch1212

Morning all -- hope everyone had a love-ly V-D yesterday. How's the grid this morning?

9:02 am

hurshy

9:03 am

hurshy

ah, perhaps your initials are ADS.

9:03 am

Haz1558

Maybe his wife is called Adelaide. But you don't have to tell us if you don't want to, Adsman. Leave some mystery in life.

9:03 am

hurshy

do tell, adsman, and stop me from all this ridiculous guessing

9:03 am

ch1212

perhaps Adsman has something to do with Anno Domini...

9:03 am

hurshy

hurshy

not exactly a poirot-worthy case, but still, i love a little intrigue in the morning

9:05 am

EasternBlue

Ads - she will sleep easy tonight knowing now...I can't imagine the pacing that would have occurred had you not told her!!

9:06 am

ch1212

Adam or Ads, you're still part of our Babble universe and like you, your name is unique here! :_)

9:06 am

Adsman

Sorry I working while all your suggestions were being posted.... what on earth are adenoid problems?

9:06 am

musicmom

Can someone tell me what the he 6/24 ends with?

9:06 am

I really only wanted to know what the last letter was but that's okay. I'm done and I did *most* of it on my own - even without brandyjack's list.

9:09 am

faeriekae

MusicMom - *%*%*%*%*fireworks*%*%*%*%* and faerie dust *~~*~*~*~*~* way to go lady. You rock.

9:10 am

hurshy

all i'm saying is if it were my last word and it was easy and i asked, not knowing it was easy, i would rather people just said, no, hurshy, you can find that one. whereas if it were a crazy word like "sdhag" then i'd like a clue. see the difference?

9:10 am

musicmom

Thanks all. I have to run and change the loads of laundry. then I'll be back for a little while in case Faerie -or anyone else- needs help. Come ON Faerie you can do it. <mm smiles her best perky cheerleader smile!>

Thanks Hurshy - It was my weakness that made me ask though. I was getting impatient. At least it wasn't a word I use all the time.

9:11 am

hurshy

musicmom

Faerie I oo*** and ahhhed when I finished.

Hi Anj and Temple

9:29 am

Anj

Funny you should say that Jen. It seems the parameters have been limited for a while now. Nothing over 300 and nothing too minute. I wonder if that's just statistical probability or a tweak in the software...

ch1212

faeriekae, it's Anne Adams. An amazing, spirit-filled woman -- her father was a Baptist preacher in the 1940's who insisted her daughter go to college -- remarkable in it's time, but more so as she's African American. She came to Idaho for a meeting with me, and I teased her that she changed our demographic! :) She has become a true friend and mentor.

9:40 am

Awww nice to have you back too Toes : )

ch1212-we're practically neighbors! I've never skied there but have gone through Hailey, Ketchum, etc. several times. One memorable summer I visited both the Headwaters of the Salmon (near Stanley) and the point where it empties into the Snake (near Grangeville).

yes, harpjane, the whole Boise area has grown leaps and bounds. My father was military, so we moved all over (Hawaii, California, etc.) but for one brief station we lived in Boise when it only had 90,000 and Meridian was a tiny (practically) village! Times change.

When my niece moved to Boise we told her she could find Grandpa's farm if she went four miles south on the Kuna road. She kept saying the Kuna road wasn't four miles long! We finally figured out that the farm is now ONE mile south on the Kuna road.... Meridian has grown so much.

misstearweus

Good day everyone! Just logging on. I actually guessed today's word count when I got up this morning! Is there are 12 step program for that?

10:56 am

10:56 am

nitenurse

Guess my brain is dead. I worked all nite. Just can't find them. Thanx tho.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL!

10:57 am

EasternBlue

nitenurse -

misstearweus

To wake up and think, "I think there will be 84 words on Babble today," makes me think I have slipped into a type of pychosis that has no return...

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

11:00 am

EasternBlue

nitenurse - the least I can do...my mom was a nurse & worked nights on rotation...

utmost respect for the nursing profession....

amazingly, none of my sisters or I went into it (I am WAY to squeamish with needles & get woozy at the site of blood)...

11:01 am

Hands up all those who have dreamt of babble! *puts down one pom pom and raises hand* : )

11:01 am

nitenurse

I am one on one with children usually now at their homes so no blood. If we see any we would be in BIG trouble. They are on vents. So need to keep them breathing. Thanks for the good words. I love it.

11:02 am

ukfizz

11:02 am

misstearweus

I can't remember any dreams, but I have stressed on the way home that my evening schedule would not allow me to log on and finish puzzles. My partner knows that when she has to called all 4 line into the home before she gets me, her first response is, "You're playing your word game, right?" I've been discovered...

11:03 am

Jacula

11:06 am

misstearweus

well, I'm starting to feel a little better. But I'm sure it is only a matter of time before the dreams come. It was the same way when I first reading Potter. A year later I was telling a rather animated dream of how we rode brooms together. Trust me, not something your spouse wants to hear...

11:07 am

lola100

'Stop faffing and get on with it!' : D

Hi atalante : )

Atalante

12:09 pm

lola100

Sis, it's and old car and it's not worth claiming on the insurance. Have to cover the shortfall anyway and the premiums will go up. So I have to decide whether it's worth spending almost as much to fix her as it would to replace her. Don't have the money to replace her at the moment tho : /

12:10 pm

lola100

caelle, did you get stung by th* **e? (lose the last 'e') : )

5:47 pm

Jera

Hey all... I have returned... had to supervise supper-making...

5:48 pm

Jera

he4/7 is a racial slur, must be why it didn't make the dictionary...

5:49 pm

musicmom

Welcome back Jera. Sarah is supposed to be cleaning up the kitchen but I think she is doing more dancing to the radio than wiping down the counters.

5:50 pm

Dachef

sorry, that must be an American thing. Never heard of the word before! Another euphemism that hasnt got this far yet - thankfully so, by the sound of it!

5:52 pm

periwinkle

an5/12 and an6/21 anyone?

5:53 pm

Jera

LOL, musicmom!

Not sure if it's an American thing or not, I gain knowledge in such eclectic ways. Dachef!

5:53 pm

an5/12 is the plural of the 4/4. for the 6/21 add a vowel before the final consonant

5:54 pm

musicmom

the 4/4 is what you do in a poker game.

5:54 pm

Jera

an 5 & 6 build on the an4... play with the past tense...

5:54 pm

Oh nooo... just saw that I missed a brandyjack appearance...

5:57 pm

JBsAnno

This was the victorian / evening dress theme from last week?
But hey, if the gown fits, wear it!

Mine's not tarot, but perhaps what tarot came from... runes!

Hey, Jera, ren!

JBsAnno

I wish you the best, pbr - and smooth shoveling! All our snow from Sunday is melting now, back in the 50's for the tempurature, sigh.

6:00 pm

musicmom

We didn't even hardly get any snow. Definitely nothing to shovel. Now it looks like this storm is going to miss us too.

6:02 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, Cybernan -
Do you know the Arabic word for demon that starts with af? Change the double vowel in that word to a single 3rd vowel, and you've got the af...

6:02 pm

periwinkle

cyber, stick an A in front of the fr4/7

6:02 pm

cybernan

Don't know any arabic.

6:02 pm

musicmom

it means afirt which is also an anagram of the word.

6:02 pm

pbr

I live in Wisconsin and the forecast says anywhere from 3-12 inches of snow!! You all be safe also.

6:02 pm

musicmom

be back soon. Time to play cards with Hannah before she goes to bed.

My technique is to type till I'm blind on the new grid. The next day I get the 2letter list and fill in what I have. Then I add the plurals and other obvious misses. THEN I start really digging. I find I have memorized a large number of weird words. The scariest was today when I was monkey typing and I zoned. The fingers kept moving and it was the last word. Totally blew my mind!

11:38 pm
