EB yesterday's grid was a monster. I did finish it though.

12:18 am

helenkeller

hey everyone, i'm gonna give it another try - spent entirely too much time on this today, but feel good about getting most of the words - i need to learn to do this faster, lol

12:19 am

cybernan

I have a feeling this one won't be as easy as it looks -- a lot of unusual words, I think.

12:19 am

nava

hello to all! i haven't babbled in a while. how is everyone?

12:20 am

EasternBlue

Angel - congrats on finishing!!!

i didn't have as much time as I thought to work on it when i started last night...too many "Sunday" chores (laundry, cleaning, etc.)

helenkeller - welcome back!!!

hi nava!!!

can someone tell me when the list of words on bab anon comes up? about what time? and how do you get your pictures in the chat, thx

12:42 am

kristinc

goodnight outnumbered

12:43 am

kristinc

helenkeller-pictures in the chat comes from upgrading to babble pro-a $10 investment but nice because you also get a stats page which can be helpful when waiting for the second letter list

12:45 am

EasternBlue

night outnumbered -

helen - to get the 'icon' pix - you have to pay to go pro...it's a one time fee...when you do, you also have you're own 'stats' panel....

As for the list in Bab Anon...Brandy Jack (a fellow player) posts it as soon as he is able...he may have to work or is also subject to severe/migraine headaches that occassionally prevents him from posting a list...

12:45 am

helenkeller

thx kris, will that list come up soon or much later?

12:46 am

kristinc

hk-eastern beat me to my next response-see below

12:48 am

helenkeller

gee, i wonder why he gets headaches - he figures this all out by himself everyday? is he nuts?

12:52 am

kristinc

EB-doesn't BJ have a program or something that he developed?

12:52 am

helenkeller

i just wanted to find out how many words in this one - have 127 so far, wondering how much further to go, if i should call it a night

12:53 am

kristinc

there are 191 words

12:53 am

adios chic!

12:54 am

gotcha EB-I think the program itself is impressive enough and I am also sure it is a lot of work to appease us day after day :)

12:55 am

183 sounded better, lol, thanks very much kris & east

191 words today, and don't give BJ such a heavy load. His progamme is not automatic like Jamie's. He has to be there to trigger it. That's a hell of a responsibility and I,for one, wouldn't take it on! Hugs for BJ.xxxxx

helenkeller -
so I'm guessing we'll see you some more??

glad you've joined the ranks!! have a good night!!

1:01 am

Jacula

EB - I'm guessing Helen Keller's got hooked. I know we warned her.... she did not go untold... we said, 'Peel your fingers off the keyboard NOW, or else be forever stricken...'. *Sigh*

1:02 am

EasternBlue

ah, Jacs - it's always the more the merrier when it's a kindred soul! : )

My name is helenkeller, and I am a babble addict.

Hello, Blaze

Repeat after me, 'There is no such thing as a Babble addict'. There is no such thing...

1:12 am

Blaze

Yes, we are just infactuated.....LOL

1:13 am

kristinc

what? I can quit anytime...just one more word is all I ever need
actually, if I babble before bed (as I am right now) I dream of possible words--truly sad or grand depending on how you look at it

1:14 am

cybernan

I've hit the wall at 116 -- think I'll call it a night unless someone would like to give a clue for the a 8 & 9?

1:16 am

EasternBlue

cyber -sorry...I'm just looking for easy words right now!! (and those usually aren't the 8's & 9's!!)

1:16 am

brandyjack

stats posted. no knocking off early. night all....

1:16 am

kristinc

no 8s or 9s here-where is harpjane when we need her? ;)

1:17 am

Jacula

If am am halfway through the grid now, even though the postman o the paperboy has just clanged into my postbox... this does not mean I am addicted...

Now, repeat after me, everyone... I am NOT a Babble addict, I can turn off the computer and let it go. I can let go of the keyboard and the mouse as the screen fades.... I am not.........FLUMP! aargh!

1:17 am

Blaze

thank you BJ

1:17 am

Thanks, Brandyjack --- will just have a peek!

Jacula

BJ - you are just a Babble pimp. Admit it!:-)

1:21 am

kristinc

by saying back to bed, does he mean he woke up to run stats and then will go back to sleep b/c it is the middle of the night?--if so, what an even greater hero. Cheers again!

1:22 am

Jacula

I'm saying nothing.:;-

1:27 am

okay folks, time for me to head to bed-tomorrow is a holiday in the US-hooray! Take care everyone

night kristin....

sweet dreams!!

1:28 am

cybernan

Take a look at brandyjack's list -- the a 8 & 9 is easy to find once your have the a 4's on either side.

1:33 am

EasternBlue

cyber - thanks for the suggestion...I think I'll wait til I've had a few winks of sleep...and then see what I can find in the morning!!

Pleasant dreams....

goodnight everyone!!

Morning all.

2:50 am

Hi macadam.

2:51 am

macadam

How are you and yours sprite?

2:52 am

sprite

The kids are free from school this week, so we are taking it easy today :) And you?

2:56 am

macadam

Back to school today .Our half term was last week.I think we are all improving.The coughs and sneezes are not as frequent or as violent.

2:57 am

sprite

Ah, that's good to hear, I am glad. Too bad you had to spend halfterm all being sick :(

2:59 am

macadam

Not really sick, just noisy .Violent sneezes with no warning causing everyone to jump out of their skin.Annoying some of the time,amusing mostly.

3:00 am

sprite

:)
I can see the picture. Amazing, isn't it, the force of sneezes and coughs? Our bodies are wonders.

3:01 am

sprite

wonders = miracles. Dutch confusion!

3:03 am

macadam

It can be embarrassing when out in public when you noisily .Most people seem to assume you sneezed deliberately.I`m afraid that just makes me smile.

3:04 am

sprite

People can be very intolerant, I am afraid. If there is one thing you cannot withhold, it's a violent sneeze that comes with no warning. More room outside than inside, I always say ;)

3:04 am

macadam

Ooops I meant sneeze noisily.

3:06 am

macadam

I have concluded that I have lots of spiders in the brain creating lots of webs which cause my sneezing.Perhaps they will leave when the weather gets warmer!!!!

3:07 am

sprite

Ah, that sounds like the perfect explanation :D

3:20 am

lottijw

Morning everyone :)
You still there mum?

3:21 am

sprite

Hi lotti! :)

3:21 am

macadam

Yes I`m still here.

3:21 am

lottijw

How ya doing Sprite?

3:23 am

lottijw

What time do you start and finish today?
I`ve got that stuff still to photocopy if you`d be so kind :)

3:24 am

sprite

Not too bad, actually. It's school holidays this week, so no pressure, and the kids are behaving greatly. I feel a bit stronger and ready to tell the company doctor where to get off. That's a lot better than feeling powerless. ;)

3:24 am

macadam

10.30 till lunch.

3:26 am

lottijw

Oh Sprite....that`s fantastic!!! You hold your own girl. Just think of all us guys right behind you :)
I`ve taken my kids back to school today, they`ve had their week off :)

3:28 am

lottijw

Mum, I`ll probably come down about 11.50am and meet you by Frans office then :)

3:28 am

mrpresident

Finished!! Woohoo!!

3:28 am

sprite

I'll tell you, the support here from you guys really helps! Sometimes, someone in authority can make me feel like I am the one who's crazy, while all the time they got it wrong. It helps to know I am seeing things the right way. :)

3:29 am

macadam

Well done MrP.I`m only at106.Have a great day.

3:30 am

macadam

Sprite you know we`re with you all the way.

3:31 am

lottijw

Yay MrP.....Well Done :D

Sprite i am so proud of you, the way your outlook has changed over the last couple of months. You see that doctor with your head held high!!!

3:31 am

macadam

See you lunchtime lotti.

3:32 am

sprite

The company doctor has to write a "problem analysis" when someone is ill for a longer time. We got hers Saterday. No good, of course. I realised I was getting stronger when I found myself taking paper and pen, going through her analysis point for point and writing down how I want her to change the report :D
She's in for a surprise, next appointment. We'll see what she has to say about that.

3:32 am

lottijw

You will mum :D are you going now?

3:33 am

macadam

Things to sort out in school bag yeuk.See you later.

3:35 am

sprite

Bye macadam! :)

3:35 am

lottijw

LOL!!!! Well done Sprite :)
A lot of these company doctors aren`t human themselves.....let alone on this planet!!!!

3:35 am

lottijw

See ya later mum :)

3:35 am

macadam

bye for now Sprite.

3:38 am

sprite

Yeah, she's mad. For sure. She thinks I should see a psychiatrist. Because I get very emotional when I tell about all the problems they give me at work, the refusal to adept the working environment to my handicaps and such. I just realised that after fighting that lack of consideration for so many years, it would be crazy to be NOT emotional about it. My anger and sadness are perfectly normal and healthy.

hi everyone!

Hey Atalante :)

3:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning, everyone.

3:44 am

Atalante

I'm glad to see you're feeling stronger, Sprite :)

3:44 am

sprite

Morning Haz :)

3:46 am

lottijw

Sprite....Is there any way you could sort things through a solicitor for intimidation, uncooperation of sorts or anything like that??

3:46 am

Haz1558

This looks like a more reasonable size of grid today - although yesterday's was fun!

3:46 am

lottijw

Hi Haz :)
HI Atalante :)

3:49 am

Atalante

hi lotti, hi haz!

3:49 am

sprite

We will have to follow the procedures for these things. For now, we will give her the chance to change her report. If she refuses, I will demand a second opinion, from another and independant doctor. In the meantime, I can get in touch with my superior at work (another new guy, sixth in 3 years). If I can agree on a reintegration schedule with him, I can even get around the company doctor. But I want to push that forward in time a bit more, because I am not ready to start working yet.

3:51 am

Haz1558

Atalante - is that a golden cocker I see before me?

3:52 am

Atalante

it is indeed! he's my little Jake - a few years gone now but as beautiful and silly as ever!

3:53 am

macadam

Well, i`m keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you Sprite!! I hope everything goes the right way (your way ;) of course) . Keep us updated on the events. I`m wishing you all the best for good results!!
Here`s a big hug for you anyway....just because you`re Sprite (((((xxxxx))))))

3:53 am

sprite

He's so sweet, Atalante!

3:53 am

sprite

Thank you, macadam :) :) :)
That really helps!

3:53 am

Haz1558

I always wanted to have a golden cocker! Am 'making do' with a Welsh Springer, whom I love dearly, of course.

3:53 am

macadam

Whoops.....signed in as Macadam :/
It`s Lotti really :)

3:54 am

Atalante

he was - my poor little boy - he was brain-damaged at birth and a *lot* of work to look after but the sweetest litle thing ever!

3:55 am

sprite

LOL lotti... thank YOU then :)

3:55 am

sprite

He must have been very special to you then, Atalante. Sounds like a very special bond.

3:56 am

lottijw

Oooo She`ll know i`ve been on to pinch some words when she scrolls back later!!!! LOL
Slapped wrists for me!!!!

3:57 am

Atalante

if you do get one, Haz, please please make sure you get one from a very good breeder. golden cockers (because of their amazing prettiness) were over-inbred last century and can be *very* temperamental as a result. But the good breeders have been trying to reverse that inbreeding over the last 10 - 20 years - so for your sake and the dog's sake its worth really checking the breeder out beforehand!

3:58 am

sprite

You'll be in for it for sure, lotti ;)

3:58 am

Haz1558

It's funny, Atalante - my husband is a vet and has steadfastly refused to have a golden cocker for that very reason. His experience is that when they get older they become very cross and 'they would eat you' to quote him on several occasions.

3:59 am

lottijw

I know....best confess when i see her at lunch!!!!! *giggles like a school girl*

4:00 am

Atalante

they can be little sh***. One breeder told me that about 1/3 are aggressive, about 1/3 are completely loopy and about 1/3 are ok. But I think that is reversing slowly to a better temperament. It makes me so mad - breeders who will breed to fashion at the expense of the dog!! We didn't particularly want a golden cocker - he just came to us when his previous owners couldn't manage.

4:02 am

Haz1558

I know that some dogs' bad behaviour is the result of poor discipline by the owners, but when it is the result of bad breeding you're really going to struggle to change things. Unfortunately some breeders are more interested in money than in the welfare of the breed.

4:05 am

Atalante

Urf yes. Apparently with cockers, it goes back to Victorian times, when they became hugely popular, and the golden ones in particular. By the 1950s a lot of them had become pretty unmanageable because of inbreeding problems, and cockers started to get a bad reputation and popularity died. Since then the good breeders have been trying to reverse the trends. Don't get me wrong, I *adore* cockers, and I'd never want any other dog. Hobbit is the sweetest natured dog I have ever known, and the cleverest. Jake was as thick as a plank, but an angel!

4:06 am

sprite

Done, and really fast too. To5/18 was tough for me and I did with O4/5 - 5/12 exactly what the words say, but for the rest it was relatively easy today. And fun!
I go and enjoy my kids for a while. Thanks for the company and the support. You guys are great :)

4:06 am

Haz1558

Well done, sprite! Have a good day with the children.

4:07 am

lottijw

See ya soon Sprite....take care!! :D

4:08 am

Haz1558

So we go looking for to5/18 ....

4:09 am

Atalante

to5/18 is a fish :)

4:10 am

Haz1558

It looks like it should be an Eastern European fish with a name like that!

4:10 am

Atalante

sounds like it should be a Russian submarine!

4:18 am

lshult

wow, I just got the to5 word from Atalante's Russian Submarine clue. I don't know who's brain is more wharped?

4:19 am

Haz1558

Now, now, Ishult!

4:22 am

Atalante

everyone who is obsessed with babble!

4:23 am

Atalante

changing the subject completely - oh wow - Andy Murray beat Lleyton Hewitt to win his first title! how cool!

4:24 am

Haz1558

Really? That is amazing as Leyton Hewitt is no mean player. But the poor lad will be put under such pressure by the British media.

4:25 am

Atalante

I know! the new tim henman blah blah blah blah

4:26 am

Haz1558

The front cover of the Radio Times for Wimbledon is decided already...

4:27 am

Atalante

no wonder we havent had any amazing players recently - anyone who wins a match is put under such pressure and expectations!

4:29 am

Haz1558

I hope he continues to do well for his own sake. Anyway, time for me to take a break to get some housework done, dog walked etc. I'll be back later. 'Bye!

4:30 am

Ttfn Haz :)

5:07 am

Does anyone have a clue for the last re4/4 please :)

5:11 am

morning lotti :) - no re yet, still battling my way through the mo words ...

Thanks anyway....thats my last r, but i`ve a load of S`s and T`s still to go.

5:29 am

Eva

Good morning everyone. This looks like a very elusive and irritating grid!

5:35 am

gramma

Morning eva and every1...this has been very frustrating today. My computer keeps doubling up on words, freezing up and when I refresh, it's w/errors. Arrrgh! It's taking the fun out of this. I've shut down, restarted, all to no avail. :(

5:37 am

Eva

Morning gramma. Hate it when that happens, which is all too often. Wonder how it can aflict one of us or a few at a time and not all.

I am just experiencing that end of feb, beginning of March state of suddenly feeling that this has been more than enough of winter! Even though it has been such a puny one. Know what I mean? Did your power stay on?

5:43 am

gramma

Oh my darling eva, do I ever know what you mean! I can't take much more gray and WIND.

5:46 am

Eva

I want to walk out of the door without 4 layers of clothing, boots, yak traks. At least most winters when it is colder there are more of those brilliantly blue days--enough of this constant grizzling! I saw a poor confused Snowdrop the other day-who by now has been sent into cryogenesis. There were buds on some of the bushes in Montpelier. They're going to regret having stuck their little heads out!

5:49 am

gramma

Eva, I have poor little bulbs that came up about 2-3" . I can't bear another year w/out my flowers in the spring. They keep trying to grow. Poor little things. Did you know some of the bears are out and about ?

5:51 am

Eva

No! Too early to have to take the bird feeders down! Haven't seen any bear signs here yet, but the coyotes have been creating a Gothic novel setting every night-howling like I've never hear before. So glad my cat doesn't go out or he would long ago have been a snack.

5:53 am

Eva

Have 79 left and have gone completely and utterly dry, so off to do the stoves and the cat and take a bath. Maybe the puzzle will look different when i return. Why are vowels always so much more difficult?!

5:55 am

gramma

My daughter and a friend were walking the dogs and encountered a bear. Not a great scenario. I know what you mean about the coy dogs, they are having a very good winter. I say, keep going w/the hunts. There are enough of them.

6:20 am

Atalante

ok, I am not impressed now by the fact that Sprite found this puzzle so easy! I don't like it!

6:27 am

gramma

Atalante, I'm enjoying this grid; but, I don't think they're ever really easy.

6:30 am

Atalante

I think I'm just tired - we had huge storms and rain all night that kept me awake - along with checking on injured dog paw at intervals, husband snoring, and cat having a mad spell at 4am!

6:31 am

gramma

Sounds normal to me 8)

6:40 am

Atalante

its normal here apart from the howling wind and rain! We don't normally get gale force winds that sound like they are about to blow your house down!

6:58 am

faeriekae

Hi - could i get help with the "ai" please I have the one that ends in opposite on out. Thanks.
*sprinkle*sprinkle*sp rinkle (faerie dust for the grid and my eyes to see the words) :)

6:59 am

faeriekae

need faerie dust for my fingers too it seems. I can't type today.

7:00 am

faeriekae

opposite of out ai 4/4 need other ai........

7:00 am

Haz1558

the ai word might be pronounced like eights

7:00 am

Atalante

replace the 3rd letter with another consonant :)

7:01 am

faeriekae

Atalante-I know your here, don't try to hid from me.

7:02 am

Atalante

I'm just busy gazing blankly at the grid!

7:02 am

faeriekae

Ata- ((((((x)))))) good morning and thank you. See my doggie. Isn't he cute?

7:03 am

Atalante

*refreshes* OH! he's adorable!!!!

7:03 am

faeriekae

I would just love to grab you doggie and kiss her little face and scratch her ears and rub her belly

Atalante

I have to say that babblers have the cutest dogs!

7:05 am

faeriekae

Of course we do. And we love them the most too. Did I understand correctly that your hubby is a vet?

7:06 am

Haz1558

Faerie - it's mine who is the vet. What he doesn't know about the insides of a cow isn't worth knowing!

7:07 am

Atalante

I wanted to be a vet - then I got distracted by marine biology and now I know far too much about the insides of fishes

7:08 am

faeriekae

Haz - got it. Thanks, the inside of cow sounds pretty gross. One of my best friends is a vet also and he is the funniest person I know. Oh the stories he tales.

7:08 am

Eva

what's wrong with trike? or is it usually spelled with a y?

7:08 am

Adsman

Hi all how many words we looking for on this lovley day

7:08 am

Haz1558

I don't know but can you even get it from the grid?

7:08 am

Atalante

too much of a shortening / slang thing, I guess Eva

7:09 am

faeriekae

Ata-fish guts, yuck......I'm too squimsh.

7:09 am

Haz1558

Adsman - 191 words to find today.

7:10 am

Adsman

Thanx Haz how are we all?

7:10 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, some of our American friends are feeling the cold!

7:12 am

Adsman

Oh yeah the big freeze everything ok with our American friends

7:12 am

faeriekae

Adsman-Well I'm doing just fine today. Got lots of work ahead of me today. Got to clean up a tree that fell in back yard a few days ago. BIG MESS. Have to get the tractor to get it off the fence first.

7:13 am

faeriekae

Results of the Big Freeze.....Sucks

7:13 am

Eva

you're right Haz-it's not there. But that's never stopped me before (-:

7:13 am

Haz1558

It's creative babbling - I love it!

7:14 am

Eva

It's really not that cold here-normal for this time of year. It's just that it was so abnormally warm for so long that we have become wimps and are doing a lot of very satsifying whining.

7:14 am

Adsman

Is it starting to clear up now Farie

7:14 am

Dippnall

Just finished- it's early afternoon, too! [Usually it's much later!] How sad am I to spend the first day of the holiday babbling!

7:16 am

faeriekae

Adsman - no - the trees are still ice coated so more could come down. It is 15f here this morning should get up to 20-25 today. Its the trees and my fence that worry me and yes I whine all damn winter.

7:16 am

Eva

Speaking of whining....I'm going to indulge for a sec: I hate this grid! it makes me feel stupid, especially since some people (I won't mention any names) found it easy! There are too many vowels, too many weird words, (i.e. words I don't know) and no pretty patterns. Okay- that's done with.

7:16 am

faeriekae

Dipp - Congrats!

7:17 am

Atalante

I agree Eva!

7:18 am

faeriekae

Eva -Sprite, is just a big show off, don't be discouraged. I also think it stinks.

7:19 am

Haz1558

I can think of more objectionable players than Sprite...

7:19 am

Adsman

Im sure everything will be fine faerie... keep smiling : )

7:20 am

miametro

i wish irksome existed in this puzzle, it's exactly what it is!

7:21 am

faeriekae

Adsman-I never stop smiling. Thats one thing about me. Its hard to keep me down. Life is way to short to sweat the small stuff. The big stuff will come along.

7:21 am

spellit

Hi all - better than yesterday!

ToeSockMonkey

7:28 am

musicmom

Toe - it is 20 f. here this moring with some wind. No I don't think I need anitbiotics this time. Just rest and juice. I have been taking over the counter symptom relief.

7:28 am

musicmom

I was zero here yesterday morning with lots of wind.

7:29 am

musicmom

Who said they were looking for irksome? I want insane!

7:30 am

faeriekae

7:31 am

Eva

I want antimonies.

7:31 am

musicmom

Thanks Faerie - we'll see. I don't want to trek to the doc today with the two kids in tow. They go back to school in the morning. If I'm not better - I'll go.

10:06 am

Guess it's a good thing, I just can't believe I forgot....

All right, I cheated and used BJ's list and caffiene flooded my brain, now I wish I hadn't!! That was too quick!

10:47 am

Smeltzdog

I know. Things have been extremely busy. I stopped by last night...left a message and realized I didn't know anyone. How are you EB?

10:48 am

faeriekae

10:49 am

good Smeltzie....glad to see you!!

10:49 am

I'm enjoying the day off for the Presidents...

10:50 am

bunnyvicious

Plural the one you already have, add a vowel to the one you already have to get both 30's

10:51 am

bunnyvicious

the one you already have meaning the 5/18, sorry

10:51 am

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - how's the Mrs?? tell I said hello!!

10:52 am

faeriekae

I have both 5/18's on the 6/30 with the double vowel. The swedish money/how do i make it plural "s" just doesn't seem to get it.

10:53 am

EasternBlue

ooops! please tell her i said hello...

10:53 am

Smeltzdog

Actually the Mrs. hasn't been feeling well for about 2 months.

10:54 am

EasternBlue

Smeltzie- I'm sorry to hear that....((HUG)) to you both....

10:55 am

bunnyvicious

both of the 7/30's are identical except fot the last letter, one plural, on ending in vowel

10:56 am

Smeltzdog

Well...pregnancy will do that!!!

10:56 am

bunnyvicious

they both build off of teh 2nd kr 5/18

10:57 am

cybernan

I don't think the last kr has anything to do with the money -- haven't found it either.

10:57 am

bunnyvicious

I was glowy happy my firt two pregnancies, the last two laid me out!!
First child?

10:57 am

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - congratulations!!!!

that's a good reason NOT to feel well....

10:58 am

faeriekae

TY-found it. trying to make this much harder than it is.

10:58 am

Smeltzdog

yep, it's the first. We weren't neccesarily trying. We were just married in August.

10:59 am

faeriekae

one of the kr's is swedish currency

Afternoon all.... bunny!!! I have missed you!

11:04 am

Smeltzdog

Things have been good. It seems that things go faster when there's a little Smeltztini to think about.

11:04 am

hurshy

what?

11:05 am

hurshy

hmm, that's interesting. i always imagined that a pregnancy would make life seem to drag on very slowly. perhaps your wife has a different take?

11:05 am

bunnyvicious

Hey Cait, thought you were avoiding me!! LOL

11:05 am

EasternBlue

hursh -

your inference....just had me laughin'!!!!!

11:06 am

I've been playing alot later and earlier than I usually do, it's easier to play when the girls are napping. They think they are invisible when I'm at the computer.

11:06 am

No bunny I would never do that!! Must have been logging on at different times lol

11:07 am

Thanks, Bunny.

Hey Bunny that is exciting. We just bought our first house - 14 years and 2 kids later.

11:09 am

hurshy

doesn't this computer watch star trek? nanite is a word.

11:10 am

bunnyvicious

I'm happy to, now just finding one, ughh! Last year was our first year without any major "catastrophies", ie multiple preg., broken bones, evil employers who write hot checks, so were caught up and moving forward. I start college again in Sept.

11:10 am

Smeltzdog

Maybe I should have said I think things are going faster. She would kill me if I told her things seemed to be fast. She remembers every long, tiring moment so far. On top of that, we will also be moving when she is 6 or more months pregnant.

She no likey.

11:11 am

hurshy

that's what i thought, smeltz.

11:11 am

musicmom

That really is terrific. We had fun house hunting but were lucky. We found one right away. We only looked at about 11 houses all together.

11:12 am

bunnyvicious

LOL, I bet!
That means YOU'LL be moving!!

11:12 am

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - just make sure she doesn't have to lift a single box when you move....

11:13 am

evanonut

hey this is great - congrats bunny
looking at this log - what you guys are saying is that 5-10 years from now i'll be doing alright.

11:13 am

hurshy

hire movers, smeltz - it'll be worth the cost.

gotta go to lunch folks, see you later

11:13 am

EasternBlue

bye hursh!!

11:13 am

bunnyvicious

We have the five kids though, I can put the twins in a room together, that still puts us at a five bedroom. Hard to find, they are all three and two!
We could use the pantry as a room....

11:14 am

caitlyn

bye hurshy

11:14 am

find one with walk in closets bunny and put the beds there

11:14 am

Smeltzdog

My personal life musical just kicked in. I seem to be hearing a little Celine Dion "All by Myself"

Yes...yes...I am the only man here!!! Is there anyone on my side? It seems that you all think this pregnancy thing is hard?

11:15 am

bunnyvicious

I was thinking the husband.....

11:15 am

musicmom

Bye Hursh. Bunny - hang in there and keep looking. We actually have 4 bedrooms (which we didn't need ) but it gives me a piano studio.

11:15 am

EasternBlue

bunny - if you have general questions re: mortgages, drop me an email....I work for a bank in the home equity division & could answer them for you...

11:15 am

musicmom

I loved being pregnant - being a mom is hard:))

11:15 am

evanonut

hey smelts - female but no children, i count

11:16 am

evanonut

hey bunny, if you have any questions re: contractors i can answer them

don't build!

11:16 am

musicmom

BTW Smeltz - I would still hire movers<g> and packers<g>

11:16 am

bunnyvicious

thx EB

Smeltz, I feel for you, it's hard on you as well. I saw murderous gleams in my husbands eyes my last pregnancy, but I just couldn't contain the evil.... Just smile and nod, nine months isn't so long...

11:17 am

Smeltzdog

I'm glad she will be pregnany. I am going to send her to a spa. I work with middle and high school kids. I won't have a problem getting 20-30 people to help.

11:18 am

musicmom

No way would we have built! Our marriage is strong - it isn't that strong. Buying was stressful enough.

11:18 am

bunnyvicious

Thx Eva.
We live in the boonies, we could build a house out of beer cans... The advantage to living in such a small community with a large family, is everyone knows how to do everyting. A small house can be added onto pretty easy, construction workers everywhere!

11:18 am

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - you've just endeared yourself to all the gals here...the spa...what a wonderful idea!!!!!!

11:19 am

musicmom

I'm not pregnant but you can send me to a spa.

11:19 am

evanonut

smart move bunny - i'm convinced theres not an honest contractor out there, at least not around here.

if i have offended anyone - i apologize

11:20 am

bunnyvicious

How sweet, a spa? My husband ran the bath when I was pregnant with the twins at the end and asked me if I'd fit...good thing for him I couldn't chase him.

11:20 am

evanonut

he sounds charmbing bunny

11:21 am

bunnyvicious

You're right, it's crazy what they charge. Mechanics too. Five times the cost of materials, and they take way to long to complete the job!

11:21 am

cybernan

The spa should wait until after the little Smeltzie -- she won't be able to soak in a hot tub or steam room right now -- send's the blood pressure too high.

11:22 am

musicmom

Good point Cyber - but a pedicure is a dream. I had one 3 days before my second was born. AHHHHHHH wonderful.

11:22 am

You're welcome!

Any clues for the tr -- been monkey typing for a while now. Will I need the fish?

12:08 pm

evanonut

hey, does anyone have progressive insurance?

12:10 pm

Haz1558

You won't need the fish - t plus shortened Reagan, plus first vowel

12:10 pm

Doll414

Evan I don't have Progressive but I handle insurance for the leasing company I work for what did you need to know

12:11 pm

evanonut

12:11 pm

bing

any body have this?
mo6/21

12:11 pm

cybernan

Thanks, Haz -- sounds like Ontarians pronounce Toronto.

Off to watch Olympic curling -- our team's third has the flu, so it will be a tough one.

12:12 pm

Doll414

I know that our clients who have it really like it and I know it's convenient from my end too

12:13 pm

caitlyn

12:15 pm

hurshy

12:15 pm

Doll414

12:23 pm

bing

12:24 pm

Smeltzdog

Somebody thinks their funny...

12:24 pm

bing

seriously. i have to go by

12:25 pm

hurshy

ok, smeltz, we need to work on your grammar. it would be "they're" if it were they, but as it is only one person, it's "he's" (we can safely assume masculine gender because no girl would do something like that...)

12:27 pm

hurshy

(that was supposed to be humorous)

12:27 pm

musicmom

I thought it was funny. I'm always on my girls about that.

12:28 pm

Smeltzdog

hursh...why do you attack me? bing used "buy" and "by" when leaving but didn't think to use the word "Bye" which means "I'm leaving now"

Actually, I retyped that word because the first time I spelled it there. The plural pronoun was on purpose.

12:28 pm

outnumbered

2nd kr? (not the singing one)

12:28 pm

outnumbered

kr6, I mean

hurshy

lol, smeltz - i only try to help the people i really care about

12:29 pm

hurshy

outnumbered - it's the same except ends with a vowel

12:30 pm

musicmom

Smeltz - do you feel unloved today? <g>I'm glad you stopped in. hehehee. They aren't picking on me.

12:31 pm

outnumbered

thanks hurshy. what a strange word, LOL

12:31 pm

hurshy

it's easy to tell when to use "they're" and "you're" - just ask yourself if the sentence would make sense if you put in "they are" or "you are" instead

12:32 pm

Smeltzdog

Hear we go a gain. Every one against I. Look at pore Smeltzie. He must bee having a bad day. Knot true.

12:33 pm

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - LOL!!!!

12:34 pm

hurshy

grin and bare it, smeltz

12:34 pm

Hey smeltz - are you an English teacher? heheheheheh good one.

12:35 pm

Smeltzdog

12:36 pm

musicmom

You can't see through Taft --- he's too big.

12:36 pm

hurshy

12:36 pm

Smeltzdog

12:39 pm

musicmom

Did you go to OSU?

12:39 pm

pbr

hurshy -- thank you my friend. My daughter came to visit yesterday (for a week) so I didn't get to finish yesterday's puzzle. This week will be challenging to complete many at all.

12:39 pm

hurshy

ugh, these ni's are awful, all the same point values

12:39 pm

musicmom

Or are you a bandwagon fan because they win?

12:41 pm

hurshy

oh, i know how that is pbr - i didn't do them all when i was at my in-laws' for christmas.

12:41 pm

Smeltzdog

Music - I actually went to a small Christian college in Indiana. I'm from Ohio. I have never seen worse bandawagon fans than that for the Cubs and Colts.

12:42 pm

musicmom

That's true. I am an alumnus of Ohio University in the S.E. part of the state (the Bobcats). We are Mid American Conf. I was okay with OSU until they tried to take our trademark. Now I'm not a fan of the scarlet and grey at all.

12:43 pm

hurshy

round on the ends and high in the middle

12:45 pm

musicmom

Yep. BUT for the record OU was here long before State. We were the first university in the state (before it was a state actually) Founded in 1804

12:49 pm

hurshy

12:49 pm

musicmom

Yep I needed that one. Thanks. I'll see if I can figure the rest now.

12:50 pm

musicmom

TY TY got them both. I am back on track.

12:50 pm

hurshy

i found those annoying too

12:51 pm

Smeltzdog

Musicmom...sorry about this but Ohio became a state on March 1, 1803...before Ohio University existed.

12:52 pm

musicmom

Sorry. First university in the NW territory. Still long before OSU - which by the way was an agricultural institution to start with.

Vicuna

so7/28s - one is plural of previous 6, having to do with sound, the other is dirtier, as in a chimney

Miyavi_fan

Anj, cake NOW, or I spork you!

(sorry...I'm revising for exams, grammar is not what it should be ^^)

1:40 pm

ch1212

dachef, try this: not a daughter, but a so*, + picnic pest... then the plural

1:40 pm

Tigereye

Ahh it could be. I have 3 so maybe I need the one you need too

1:40 pm

Dachef

musicmom- try more of the thing that sits in the sky at night. And talks to me. But only I can hear it.

1:40 pm

Anj

*eyes spork warily*

1:40 pm

musicmom

the an 9 is the plural of the an 8 ---foyers

1:41 pm

Miyavi_fan

*glares* Anj, there are several places this spork can go. I'm willing to try them ALL.

1:41 pm

Dachef

an9/60 - think annexe and its plural.

1:41 pm

musicmom

I have that one. I need the one before it. Not the computer screens.

1:41 pm

ch1212

anj, the an9 is plural of an8, which is two words together -- meaning a chamber or space before the main chamber; kind of a waiting place

1:41 pm

Vicuna

both 9s are plurals of 8s, one is foyer, the other is picture in one color

1:41 pm

Anj

Cheers 'mom : )

1:41 pm

musicmom

Not the color related one either.Oh wait that isn't a 7

Mab, Yes you would say that. did you know TR had a zebra while at the white house? I would have used that as an icon, but it was too grainy. so I have Bush dreaming about the "Endanged" zebras.

4:48 pm

yw, sassyfrau. someone passed it on to be when I first started babbling.

I don't know much about Teddy's presidency, but have enjoyed reading his account of struggling through Africa with an immense entourage, collecting trophies. It's terrible, but they did that then.

Hi Angel,
Mab, I've heard some about that. I will have to read more.

4:54 pm

Anj, don't know if you're still around, but I love your icon. i think it must be an actor and a modern photo, as people didn't look so good back in the day. Johnny Depp?

5:05 pm

Angelsong

for the life of me, I can't find words today. any clues for the 9's?

5:07 pm

kristinc

angel one 9 is a plural of an mo8-to get the mo 8 it is the mo4/5 (meaning single) plus a ti4/4 (meaning color)

5:09 pm

sunpot

does everyone on here know eachother personally?

or just IMing through babble?

5:10 pm

Anj

I know me very well 8 D

5:10 pm

sunpot

do you have to pay the ten$ to get a profile

this website just wants money!

5:10 pm

kristinc

angel-the other is an9, plural of the 8
to get that it is the an4/4 (meaning before) + the ro4/5 (for a specific place in your house-ie living****)

5:13 pm

gramma

Hello. Just popping in w/a quick question. The other day a newbie started on babble because she/he couldn't get into tangle word? or something like that. Does any1 know what that game or site was?

5:14 pm

Angelsong

thanks, kristin!

5:14 pm

sherb

just back to say goodnight all... see you soon :D

5:14 pm

Angelsong

gramma...tangleword is on iwin.com

5:14 pm

Anj

sunpot, the pro status gets you a letter grid as well as the profile, flag & icon. The grid makes finding words so much easier.

5:15 pm

rosalind230

It was www.iWin.com for tanglewords

5:15 pm

kristinc

yw-glad they worked

5:15 pm

gramma

Thanks Angelsong. I thought I'd give it a looksie. ^_^

5:16 pm

Angelsong

anj, if you have time, take a look at my updated profile...:)

5:16 pm

rosalind230

Its not as good as babble

5:24 pm

gramma

I'm back.. I found the site,but; I couldn't find a game called tangle word. Any advice?

5:24 pm

mab

Sorry, Angel, I was off counting my missing words.

I like your idea and think it might be especially helpful to have all info organized and in one place. I would be interested in Jamie's point of view - perhaps the two of you could do business. I understand that you are not seeking that, however, your work is potentially worth a lot.

A web page could be seen as part of the evolution of babble, and I like that.

5:25 pm

Anj

Angel, a Babblebrowser?? : )

5:26 pm

Angelsong

:) It's very handy, Anj! I use mine every single day.

5:26 pm

rosalind230

kristinc
an 8/45 my word will not go in with the clue you gave
before and living****

5:27 pm

rosalind230

Gamma its on www.iwin.com

5:27 pm

mab

Gramma, you might just try googling tanglewords... might be easier to find that way.

5:28 pm

Angelsong

mab, I find mine incredibly useful daily, and it was especially so when I was brand new to the game. It saves lots of time and makes things easily accessible.

5:28 pm

kristinc

ros-if you have the an word meaning before, then just add a ro4/5 word meaning a portion of your house (has a double vowel in it)-pluralize for the 9

5:28 pm

Angelsong

since I already have mine done, it's work of mere minutes to do more.

5:29 pm

gramma

I found the site iWin but didn't see tangle word. I'll try again.Thanks 8)

5:30 pm

kittybat

gramma, make sure you typed in www.iwin.com not www.iwon.com. They're two totally different sites. When you get to iwin, Tangleword is about halfway down the page on the right under the blue heading, Classic. You can't play it with the Firefox browser at this time, though. Have to use Internet Explorer. It is a fun game. A bit more like Boggle, with times rounds and all...

5:30 pm

rosalind230

my grid will not accept the word help

5:31 pm

kristinc

is the an word you have ending in a e (not an i)? If not, refresh?

5:31 pm

Angelsong

mab, I'd be happy to send you a sample babble page, if you want to see it.

5:32 pm

rosalind230

Kristinc found them now was spelling the before word with the wrong vowel thanks for your help

5:32 pm

Frances

rosalind230
first half ends with e

5:34 pm

kristinc

ros-I was beginning to supect that :) Well done!

5:35 pm

mab

Lots of valuable info is on babs anon, much of it done by Anj. And then there is brandyjack, of course. But I'm not sure everyone knows it's there.

Your idea sounds sensible to me. I would think attributions to Anj, brandyjack, etc. might be nice to include. (I especially like Anj's referral to the Brit/American English website)

5:36 pm

rosalind230

I had not got the first an4/4 i missed it
I have 5 to find them I am finished

5:37 pm

Interestingly, both Churchill and TR were depressives (Chuchill's black dogs, etc.).

BJ is already credited, and I can certainly add a credit (a big one!) for Anj. I definitely am interested in sharing the page idea and the pages, with those who are interested. Not sure who to contact, though.

6:02 pm

Oh, sweet, ren. When my ex lived in the virgin islands, gekkos came in and out of the house at will. One lived under his refrigerator. I like them because they are cute and because they get out of one's way. (no squish, oh dear.)

6:04 pm

I need a ni5 and a ni6 and I don't know which ones...I have opposite of day + consonant, then made plural; I have the white or gray mineral plus plural plus alternate spelling; I have what sounds like a gas, plus plural. Somewhere in there I need one more 5 and one more 6. Any ideas?

outnumbered

I have the no6 now, thank you tigereye...but I can't seem to make any of my sk's plural...there being only one letter in the right proximity to make it plural and that one is used to begin the word...what am I doing wrong??? oof, I always go crosseyed at the end LOL

9:05 pm

doxy1lover

jojo, was he sick last night?

9:06 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Doxy: Yes, he caught his sister's cold, and they took Sebastion to the hospital. Just wondering is everything is OK.

9:07 pm

doxy1lover

sounds like it could be RSV. it is a cold in older children and adults. can be very dangerous for babies.

9:08 pm

LeslieAnn

that's what he said it was, doxy - but says they say he will be fine

9:08 pm

dalmatian5

Hi Babblers: Finding some of those last words has been a bit tricky!

9:08 pm

doxy1lover

that's good.

9:10 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Doxy: Don't know, haven't heard.

Leslie: Didn't hear, logged on late last night. So, Sebastion is OK, and home?

9:10 pm

LeslieAnn

no, i hadn't heard he was home - i just remember gw saying the drs. said he would be ok

9:25 pm

Cathyar

missing one so7....not the messy afterburnt stuff one

9:26 pm

LeslieAnn

there is one that is the plural of not daughter + picnic pest given earlier, cathy?

9:27 pm

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi everyone -- finally getting on today :)

9:36 pm

doxy1lover

hi GW

9:37 pm

LeslieAnn

hello gw

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey doxy -- you are correct -- Seb has RSV, I noticed him wheezing after a fussy night Saturday so I woke Kirsten early and she said we needed to take him in to be checked

9:38 pm

doxy1lover

how is he doing?

9:40 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Is Sebastion OK, and home?

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

We caught it just as it was manifesting so he is doing just fine --- they have him on a nebuliser -- they were giving him Albuterin to open his airways but it boosted his heart rate too much so they went with an alternate --- no fever at all -- he has impressed all the medical personnel he has met

Mom - of course - is practically a basket case while staying with him in the hospital

9:41 pm

jeffer

the last mo 5/12 anyone?

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

With luck, they will be home by Wed -- but that is not official -- just hopeful prognostication given how positive everyone is about him

9:42 pm

LeslieAnn

jeffer, last two mo 5/12 are adding one letter to the mo 4/5 (not more but mo**)

9:42 pm

doxy1lover

glad to hear he is doing well.

9:44 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Glad Sebe is getting better. But Wednesday for a home coming, is pretty long to be w/o your son. How is Kirsten holding up?

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy -- so am I -- I was so stressed yesterday, plus having been up for over 24 hours with only an hour and a half nap just before the whole debacle began, I fell asleep with my fingers on the keyboard while Babbling last night!!

9:45 pm

doxy1lover

thanks leslieann

9:46 pm

doxy1lover

need a clue for the second mo7/32, 8/45 combo pls. also the mo5/12 before them.

9:46 pm

jeffer

oops thanks leslieann - got those
need the third from last mo 5/12, then

9:46 pm

Cathyar

thanks for that mo*** Leslieann... phewf...down to 31 now...ugh

9:47 pm

doxy1lover

jeffer, add a vowel to your mo4/5

9:47 pm

LeslieAnn

green stuff... spanish mo** + a vowel

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

The worst part of the whole situation was that since I didn't have Seb's car seat in my car (because we had put it in Gramma's car to facilitate her help us out) -- I called 911 to get an ambulance for legal safe transport

Would you believe that the rig that responded didn't have infant transport gear!!!

We ended up calling Gramma to come over anyway to take him in :\

9:49 pm

LeslieAnn

two of those, doxy... another word for computer screen, mo***** (and plural) and well as mo*** carlo + **w your boat (and plural)

9:49 pm

doxy1lover

I believe it GW. not all of them have infant transport unless specifically used for that purpose.

9:50 pm

LeslieAnn

oh goodness, what a couple of days, gw

9:50 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Wouilfie: Wow, what a story about the 911 call, and the baby seat thing. Never trust the gov. to do what is necessary, they just don't cut it.

9:50 pm

jeffer

Thanks doxy1lover - my last word.

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

congrats jeffer.

9:51 pm

LeslieAnn

hooray jeffer!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Which doesn't make sense, doxy -- they transported Seb from the local hospital to the nearest satellite of the Childrens' Hospital and that rig had the correct gear. She says that the whole thing takes up the space of a bread box when stored --- why wouldn't every rig be equipped with one?

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for jeffer!!!

10:00 pm

doxy1lover

thanks leslieann. (sorry, was away from computer for a few minutes.)

10:05 pm

Cathyar

WAHHH...29 left...I'm dyin here people!!! monkey-typing like a fool!!!

10:06 pm

LeslieAnn

don't cry cathy, just ask for help (admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery)

10:08 pm

Cathyar

UGHHH....sooo late...past midnite...no...time to ask... need psychiatric help to keep this up! danged monkeys

10:09 pm

doxy1lover

watching olympics. just had interview with canadian ice dance couple. Feel bad for them

10:09 pm

10:12 pm

Cathyar

lol...LOST IT 15 WORDS AGO!!!! BLAAAAHHHHHHHHH....goodnite... i can't do it anymore. could take me to 3 a.m. to find the last 28!!!

10:13 pm

doxy1lover

nite cathy. sleep well.

10:14 pm

Cathyar

Just like the cdn ice dance team... i can no longer babble this night.

10:16 pm

Cathyar

Bye-bye...thanks a bunch to u all who had clues to aid my efforts... It's a fun game...but I can babble no more...else i may babble about at work tomorrow.

10:16 pm

doxy1lover

10:17 pm

Cathyar

BUT I can say I THINK I am the last canadian babbler standing this round.

10:18 pm

LeslieAnn

NITE FELLOW BABBLERS!!!!

10:21 pm

lshult

have I missed any clues for the mo8/9 combo (got both 7/8's)?

10:22 pm

doxy1lover

mo8,9 - mo4 meaning single + ti4 meaning color and plural

10:22 pm

LeslieAnn

ishult, it's a compound word... mo** meaning "one" + a word for different hues of a color

10:24 pm

lshult

11:09 pm

Dianne

Mo4/5 but add hesitation sounding ending - then plural for the 7.

11:18 pm

chic

thanx, Dianne

11:18 pm

Cinderella

Missing the first to6/18.

It's just above the to4/4 that's how many words we had to find in the grid yesterday. Please

11:21 pm

Dianne

Cinder - think of the actor To Curtis then make his first name "even more so".

11:27 pm
