jeffer

1:39 am

rosalind230

google the actions and saying of muhammed that where I got them from

1:39 am

hootowl

ok!

1:40 am

Krys10

It seems like lately (last few months) people have been giving clues that are sort of rebus-style... I like it when people give clues based on definitions because I learn a lot more!

1:40 am

jeffer

actually a great clue, hoot - i'm done
third day in a row

1:40 am

hootowl

I would like to know which word was the elephant trap yesterday?

1:42 am

hootowl

Krys I haven't the time usually to be searching all over. I do look up definitions later. Amazing how many can't be found.

1:42 am

jeffer

if memory serves ... keddah

1:43 am

hootowl

Oh thank you! Thought it might be but was too busy doing this one to look it up!

1:43 am

Krys10

hootowl- you know that the questions marks next to the words in your list are links to dictionary.com, right?

http://phrontistery.in fo/ is a favorite reference for obscure words!

1:44 am

hootowl

Yep I do. Like I said - amazing what you can't find.

1:44 am

jeffer

did i mention THIRD day?

1:44 am

hootowl

And I will hold on to that link. Thank you

1:45 am

2:03 am

sprite

There is snow here too and more to come in the next 4 days, says the broadcast. We will have winter yet, lol. How is the grid coming along? I have really no idea where those 7s can be hiding. A bit tight, this grid.

2:19 am

sha

have 2 words left 2 find a ha 6 and a ha 7

2:19 am

Dianne

tbear - think of the woman who makes those rhinestone evening bags - J. Leiber. Well just replace the 1st 2 letters of her name with the Ha for the 6.

2:21 am

sprite

Okay, those are the Islamic sayings, singular and plural.
First part: past tense of to possess.
Second part: scary 2-letter movie of Stephen King.
Last letter = first letter.
For the 7 make plural.

2:21 am

tbear

Dianne....that's probably a gr8 clue...but if you knew me you'd know that me and evening bags go together like mashed potato and caviar....but thankyou.. :)

Everyone else in the family was told 3 weeks ago!
I found out via the neighbour who lives next to her sister-in-law!
So, so, so, so cross!!
Third hand information from a stranger!!?? Uh-no
Sad thing is, we are generally close, but he is a loser when it comes to 'sharing information' that is important to others

2:53 am

tbear

sprity if we cut you in half you'd look like a Cadburys Creme Egg with some of the wrapper still on

2:53 am

Atalante

3:49 am

sprite

Yeah, got them, still one more L. And that R.

3:50 am

Atalante

the l you are probably missing is a weirdo one. Did you like the Mummy films? Surname of the actor who played Ardeth Bay, change the first letter

3:50 am

sprite

I keep seeing lush.

3:50 am

FMitch

Hi Im back, 1 word left to find a th4/5... can you help?

3:51 am

Atalante

3:52 am

sprite

That was the L I was missing indeed! Thanks Atalante :)
Only that R now, I will find it.

3:52 am

8HA

WTG FMitch!

3:53 am

Atalante

1 d, 2 hs. I'm presuming (probably wrongly) that the 6 is a h

3:54 am

sprite

There is no D6, so you are right :)

3:55 am

sprite

Do you have the round dance H-couple?

3:55 am

Atalante

*blinks* I don't think so!

3:56 am

sprite

Round dance(s) from Romania and Israel.

3:56 am

8HA

3:57 am

FMitch

ha4/6 one of then ends in a vowel the other ends in a pl

3:57 am

Atalante

oh yes! I had the other spelling, but not that one

3:58 am

Haz1558

ha 4/6 - could be the laughable small fence or the singular hell

3:58 am

sprite

Done! Was blind to the Rh4. Duh again.

3:58 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, how's htings, any snow?

3:58 am

sprite

There are 4x Ha4/6

3:58 am

Atalante

3:59 am

sprite

Singular hell (nice one!), fence or laugh, soundword plural and tough.

3:59 am

sprite

Hooray for Atalante :)

3:59 am

Haz1558

Morning all - yes we have snow - just about 2 inches but enough to be a nuisance. The dog loves it!

3:59 am

FMitch

congrats sprite and atalante

4:03 am

8HA

their r 4 ha 4/6's i need the one after the laugh, b4 the

4:03 am

sprite

Anyone needs a clue? If not, I am off... had a great time with you, as usual :D

4:04 am

Atalante

hooray for everyone done that I've missed saying hooray to!! *throws confetti and chocolate buttons*

4:04 am

sprite

That Ha4 is a sound, made plural.

4:05 am

FMitch

start with the 1s h and go right

4:06 am

8HA

4:11 am

spellit

Earliest I've ever finished. What shall I do now?!

4:12 am

FMitch

LOL spellit, perhaps we can ask Dr_G for another one!

4:12 am

Atalante

I'm having the same problem, spellit

4:13 am

Haz1558

Why not log in under another name and see how fast you can type the words in? We could have time trials and everything.

4:18 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, love your thinking!

4:19 am

Haz1558

Or you could go at it from a different direction - log in, pretend to be someone who is incredibly slow and keep asking stupid questions. Then we'll see how patient the clue-givers can be.

4:20 am

FMitch

....er, I don't think so!

4:21 am

Haz1558

I remember the time when the log was invaded by people directed to it by MSN or something. Babblers nearly had to be admitted to the funny farm, it was so stressful!

4:22 am

FMitch

I remember that too it was dire, some time last October ish.

4:24 am

FMitch

Oh well, I must get on as have work to do but will be lurking on and off if clues needed.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Have a good day - maybe see you later.

4:39 am

ch1212

morning all -- could someone give me a clue for the su6 (I know the 7 will be the plural). Please and thank you!

4:39 am

Dianne

Hi all - back to get those last few :)

4:40 am

Dianne

su6 - think rotten egg smell.

4:41 am

Haz1558

The su word has smelly chemical connotations

4:42 am

Haz1558

And the su 7 is not a plural but the adjective from it.

4:44 am

ch1212

Thanks Haz and Dianne -- I thought about the word but my brain kept insisting it had to be spelled with a 'ph' ... :)

4:45 am

Haz1558

I know - it normally is. Glad you got it.

4:49 am

ch1212

Done, and it's only 3:48 a.m. where I am... I'm off to bed all -- will check in later to help with clues if needed. Goodnight!

4:53 am

Haz1558

Goodnight - sleep well!

4:59 am

Dianne

Haz - I'm done. What about you?

4:59 am

mrpresident

finished!! quick one tonight!!

6:10 am

sandyloo

6:11 am

sandyloo

bye the way im not going into writing crosswords for obvious reasons

6:11 am

Adsman

damm work.. you should have seen it F mitch came down to the last person to win the game who pulled it out the bag. a fellow babbler i may add

6:12 am

sandyloo

ad is this a sport that u r talking about

6:13 am

Eva

feeling very think sandy. The only thing which comes close doesn't work. And there aren't any 05's that I know of so how could there be a plural? Help?

6:13 am

Adsman

yeah sandy skittles

6:13 am

FMitch

WTG Adsman - who's the fellow babbler?

6:14 am

Eva

YES! Got it!

6:14 am

Adsman

he doesnt post very often I think he posts as jonboy

6:14 am

FMitch

Eva, the 1st 2 letters sound like an exclamation - make them past tense.

6:14 am

Eva

BTW-wasn't feeling very "think" but very "thick"...very think would be fine

6:14 am

sandyloo

was it my fabulous clue eva?

6:15 am

Eva

Yes it was Sandy-the clue was fine - my brain was not

6:15 am

miametro

11 words to find. whoo!

6:15 am

miametro

any help with the su 6 and 7 tho cause i'm totally stumped

6:16 am

sandyloo

lmao it was the past tense not plural as mitch said its too hot here to think straight

6:17 am

sandyloo

those have a spelling you wouldnt expect
relates to the smell of being in hell

6:17 am

emtiandeca

su6 and 7 if this mineral is in your water then it tastes terrible

6:18 am

fit1

Any kind soul have a clue for the ha6 - ha7

6:19 am

miametro

6:19 am

sandyloo

read those clues mi

6:19 am

fit1

Ha 6 and ha 7. I can't get it nohow.

6:20 am

Eva

fit-there were clues a while ago re the saying of Mohammed. Here's another try. If you are fed up you might say "I've h__
i_! Ad an "h" to the end of that. Then the plural

6:21 am

sandyloo

those are unusual words but one is singular and one is plural and they sound middle eastern

6:22 am

fit1

wow Eva. Awesome. Thank you so much. I got them

6:22 am

Eva

glad to be able to help fit!

6:23 am

gramma

Good morning everyone. It's a weenie one today :{
Gramma is NOT happy....not happy at all.

6:24 am

Eva

hi gramma. But the sky is blue, so how bad can it be?

6:26 am

gramma

You'r right, Eva. I'll get over it. And maybe even get out of doors today.

6:27 am

sandyloo

ive just been looking around the site - i am so happy i found this site it is really very good even tho im addicted to tangleword somehow this is just so nice ( of course im not getting addicted to this)

6:37 am

Eva

of course not sandy. I'm sure you can walk away any time you want(-: Aside from the fun of the grid, I find it so unusual that this site has developed in the cooperative way it has. Haven't come across anything else like it. A wonderufl model for how we could treat each other.

6:38 am

Eva

gramma-the getting out of doors thing is a bit dicey-awfully cold, although it looks like maybe the wind has died down today. Have to go out and fill the bird feeders- no sign of bears here yet. Have you had any more close encounters of an ursine nature?

6:59 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:02 am

Anj

*flattens EvaN with Wednesday Whallop* : )

Morning ; )

7:03 am

EvaNadine

*stands up and brushes self off*
man, a girl cant even get her morning coffee before being trounced by a madman!

hehe...mornin anj.
:)

7:04 am

Anj

I know, there's nothing worse than an exuberant morning greeting before the first caffeine shot of the day : /

7:04 am

shorty

mornin all

7:04 am

EvaNadine

heh, i dont normally even drink coffee...
but its all i had until lunch yesterday.
*ugh*

7:05 am

Anj

..! You gotta eat : /

Morning Shorty : )

7:06 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i know it!
unfortunately, i had a heinous 8:15 am meeting, then my boss was like stalking me for the rest of the afternoon, getting my into another meeting with our higher-up boss...and work kept spilling in throughout the day (end of the month is always busiest). every time i sat down, he was up my butt with something ELSE!

luckily, he had errands to run, so he left at 1:00 and my coworker and i took a nice long lunch out.
:)

7:08 am

Anj

...evidently exercising the base art of delegation : /
Or is he one of these guys who can't let go of anything which might have his name on??

7:09 am

EvaNadine

hes an obsessive-compulsive micromanager, who doesnt seem to trust that his staff (who have almost all been here years longer than he has -- hes only been here just over a year) are actually competent and know how to do their jobs.

7:19 am

gramma

Eva, didn't mean to ignore you....I went out to test the elements. Beautiful! No wind. I don't mind the temp if the wind isn't whipping. I would think you could keep your feeders full for a while yet. One bear with a bad sense of timing shouldn't ruin it for our feathered friends.

7:20 am

Anj

Doesn't sound like much of a manager to me : / You don't notice the best managers. The ALWAYS notice the worst lol. My old boss had that down pat...he always said "I'm a people person. If it's a technical query ask Anj" Had him well trained : D

7:21 am

EvaNadine

ive had 3 managers since i worked here...all had their pros and cons, but the cons always outweighed the pros

7:23 am

Anj

That's a downer as it makes your job harder to do. Problem is that some managers see it as their duty to play the staff like puppets : /

7:23 am

EvaNadine

eh, our main problem is that our contract is up for rebid within the next year, and our boss is a yes-man.
so our team is at risk of all kinds of cuts and alterations because he wont stand up for us.

7:34 am

Anj

oh great. What channel do you work in?

7:35 am

Ouwachita

that was easy...anyone need a clue before I go??

7:37 am

EvaNadine

what channel?
huh?

guessing youre asking what i do?
sort of a combination of editing + a very loose interpretation of database maintenance

7:38 am

hurshy

ha6?

7:40 am

Ouwachita

ha6...ha + last 4 letters of Mrs. Bunker

7:41 am

hurshy

never watched that show... i know the guy is archie...

7:42 am

Ouwachita

ok then, last 4 letters of Ms. Piaf

7:43 am

hurshy

su6?

7:45 am

hurshy

ok, so i should have said, thanks o'chita! :) sorry - i'm a bit sleepy.

7:45 am

Ouwachita

su6 is an element but spelled different

7:47 am

hurshy

that's not spelled different - that's the ordinary way. thanks, though!! i'm done!

7:48 am

Ouwachita

the ordinary way is with a ph in the middle...at least that is the way I was taught in high school, but then I live in Pennsylvania

7:49 am

Anj

Eva, editing & database maintenance was part of my old remit, lol. Amazing how many people rely on applications like Lotus Notes without really knowing how to use it : /

7:52 am

EvaNadine

heh, count me in the group that knows nothing about Lotus Notes. i dont even really know how ot use SQL.
hence the VERY LOOSE interpretation of database maintenance...hehe

7:53 am

hurshy

hmm...i suppose it could go either way, o'chita. :) thanks again, though.

7:58 am

Babbler

BOO !!

8:03 am

Babbler

wha'? did I frighten everybody?? ooops, didn't mean to!

8:06 am

Anj

Hi Babs : ) I was away with the faeries there for a while...

8:07 am

EvaNadine

heh no worries babbler -- its another short puzzle, so the chatlog is fairly quiet today

8:09 am

Babbler

oh phew! I was just gonna start singing my song: "nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat worrrrrrrms." !! lol : D

8:09 am

EvaNadine

"long thin slimy ones, short fat juicy ones, itsy bitsy fuzzy wuzzy worms!"

8:11 am

Babbler

Chomp off their heads and squeeze out the juice
And throw their tails away
Nobody knows how I survive
On worms three times a day.

8:11 am

EvaNadine

*does the chicken dance, since theres no worm dance she knows of*

8:12 am

Ooey gooey, ooey gooey worrrrrrrrrrms ! lol! :D

8:22 am

faeriekae

Good Morning all - looks like another nice short grid today. Maybe I'll be cleaning house two days in a row huh? LOL I did post a song last night. Heard it on the radio and fell out laughing because it was all I could hear. Check it out.

8:24 am

Babbler

hi Une : )
it means I made a mistake on the 'original' in BabAnon and duplicated a theme. I have corrected it in my 'live' list in my handbag. (This is why I didn't post in BabAnon)

8:25 am

faeriekae

Quick-that's right I got that old KY voodoo (soup beans and cornbread, fried chicken and mashed potatoes) LOL

8:29 am

lianakate

8:29 am

Quick

You bet lian!

8:29 am

faeriekae

Kate-yes indeed it is....Hi ((x))

LOL

8:35 am

lianakate

Faerie..ALL of my family is in Mich..with cousins in Jersey..am a stranger in a strange land here..(learning southern speak)

8:35 am

Quick

I'm enjoying the chat so much, I'm ignoring the grid. Apparently, I am unable to multitask today. lol

8:36 am

misstearweus

never heard of flintstone, but I've heard of Between, Ga. Is it close to Stone Mountain by chance?

8:36 am

faeriekae

Kate-trust me you will be speaking like a true Southerner in no time. It is so easy to slip into. I have to really work at speaking proper. People in Michigan really make fun of Southerners...Assholes

8:36 am

Quick

8:36 am

Quick

never mind :)

8:36 am

lianakate

8:37 am

lianakate

Faerie. the southerns here make fun of my Yankee accent..must be assholes live everwhar.

8:38 am

8:41 am

misstearweus

lian, you will have to learn all the southern jargon (I've been here 13 years), like shindig, hoedown, bodega, and fi'in to. Once you catch on, you will be able to understand more of the natives.

8:43 am

faeriekae

Miss-good job...you could be Kates teacher...lol
I'm fixin' to go git in the share and git kleand up so i reckon i'll be back directly....

8:45 am

faeriekae

Remember people in the South "warsh the clothes and hangem' out to dry" very inportant to get the "r" where it belongs.

8:46 am

misstearweus

my profound disclaimer: to anyone who is southern please know that I too consider myself a Georgian (an army brat who settled here) and dispite my family's best efforts to get me to move to DC with them all. I just can't leave my George red clay.

So, please know I mean no disrespect. Even though I'm still tickled when I hear the genuine southern Ga drawls that I still have not mastered.

8:46 am

faeriekae

Did anyone check out my song on BabAnon? I'll go get clean and pretty and when I get back....we will trash another State...ok

8:47 am

misstearweus

9:06 am

TY Haz, thought I was all on my own here.

9:07 am

9:15 am

hint please for the da4/6.

9:16 am

Haz1558

It rhymes with one of the ha4/6.

9:16 am

bunnyvicious

da - is that yes in german?, def is a dash

Morn Doxy

9:17 am

Haz1558

ja is yes in German - da is yes in Russian, I think.

9:18 am

bunnyvicious

Sorry, i only studied Spanish and can't even speak it, so Russian and German are way outta my vocab.

9:22 am

kole

i used to be able to swear in german

9:23 am

harpjane

ha6/27? I assume 7/40 is the plural? I don't have it either. Thanks.

9:24 am

Haz1558

ha6/27 - add the last four letters of a girl's name ju****. The 7 is the plural.

9:25 am

Haz1558

German is a language that lends itself to swearing - mainly because it is so difficult!

9:26 am

harpjane

Thank you Haz!

9:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, harpjane.

9:32 am

harpjane

I'm off to work now. I only have 3 words left. I don't want to ask for clues because then the puzzle will be done....

10:34 am

cybernan

Movieman -- just read your profile -- my 12 year old granddaughter was diagnosed last year with Asperger's. The going has been pretty tough, but I think the "meltdowns" are getting a little fewer and farther between. It's hard on the family as well as the sufferer.

10:37 am

movieman

Cyber, I was diagnosed in my early 20's (I'm now 28), and it came as a relief in some respects, because I finally had a reason as to why I never got on with my peers at school, and why I found it extremely hard to find employment......

10:38 am

ToeSockMonkey

Woot! I get to go to lunch at 11 :) mmmm pasta!

10:38 am

ToeSockMonkey

ToeSockMonkey

10:41 am

ToeSockMonkey

Yes temple.... two 7 letter words

10:41 am

cybernan

Movieman - she also has an anaphylactic reaction to fowl, which complicates things. She is terrified of eating any kind of meat in case there has been cross contamination. How do you reason with someone who is in no condition to be reasoned with? We are so careful with her food, and she knows this, but still can't believe that everything will be all right.

10:42 am

movieman

Toesock, I already have those two, i'm still missing another t4.....

10:50 am

movieman

Cyber, not really, because I've never really been in that situation, although I did go through a phase of not eating anything that had been flavoured with alcohol, as I am a strict tee-totaller.......

10:52 am

movieman

And my parents tried to assure me that I wouldn't actually be able to taste the alcohol, but I just wouldn't believe them........

10:53 am

cybernan

I hear footsteps upstairs, so I'd better go and make breakfast. Good luck, everyone :)

10:54 am

movieman

Although my aversions to certain foods have improved over the last year or so, because before I wouldn't go near anything with tuna or salmon in it, but now I just love the stuff......

musicmom

This is freaky - I'm down to two words left. I haven't even been sitting here for 45 minutes yet.

5:38 pm

musicmom

Peri - ha + di 4/6 if you have lisp. the 7 is the plural.

5:39 pm

Bobsta

Ren you still here?

5:54 pm

mab

Hi all.

Bobsta, who is that in your icon?

5:54 pm

musicmom

Hi mab.

5:56 pm

Yvo

need help with ho5/14 and6/24 have the one in wich you amass things and plural

5:57 pm

mab

Hi musicmom. Pretty icon - is that the flower called dutchmans' breeches, or bleeding heart, or something else alogether?

5:57 pm

musicmom

Peri - if you have the 4/5 that is a Jewish dance. Add a consonant at the end and then the plural.

5:58 pm

doxy1lover

hi everyone

5:58 pm

musicmom

Thanks Mab - I know it as bleeding heart - symbolic of Christ for Ash Wednesday.

5:58 pm

mab

Hi doxy.

5:58 pm

musicmom

Hi Doxy.

5:59 pm

EvaNadine

evenin babblers!!

6:00 pm

mab

That's interesting mm. I love that flower, but didn't know of the symbolism. It's nice.

6:00 pm

musicmom

Hi Eva.

6:00 pm

doxy1lover

hi eva

6:00 pm

mab

Howdy, evanadine. Ok. What's your icon?

6:01 pm

musicmom

Thanks MAb. I didn't know of the symbolism until I googled Ash Wednesday last night. I am Christian but we typically don't follow the litergical year. I felt like a hypocrite selecting something blatantly Ash Wed.

6:02 pm

EvaNadine

it says "ashes" and looks like its smoldering...

i figured im not catholic + we dont celebrate ash wednesday, so ashes were good enough for me.
:)

6:03 pm

musicmom

Hey Evanadine - we were on the same thought line.

6:04 pm

EvaNadine

not sure im seeing your updated icon MM, whats yours?

6:04 pm

musicmom

Mine is a bleeding heart. (small pinkish flower). I found out last night it is symbolic of Christ. We aren't Catholic either and I didn't want an actual Ash Wed. icon.

6:05 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, then i am seeing the right one, just kinda hard to make out.
:)

6:06 pm

mab

I don't know anything about this part of the Christian year, so I went neutral with Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet.

6:06 pm

musicmom

Yesterday was a party horn with a mask. Cannot decide which musical to use tomorrow. I used Sweeney Todd the last time.

6:06 pm

musicmom

I thought that's what that was Mab. Good choice!

6:07 pm

EvaNadine

whats tomorrows theme?

6:07 pm

musicmom

According to the list on Bab Anon - musical/theater

6:08 pm

Uneaixoise

i thought it was movie posters . . .

6:09 pm

musicmom

Oh maybe I goofed. i'll go look again.brb

6:09 pm

mab

Une! warai!

6:09 pm

Yvo

thank you all for the help, first time ever i finnished the grid .just joined last nite.

6:09 pm

EvaNadine

according to babblers profile:
"Classic Movie Posters"

she also noted that its a change to whats in BabAnon

6:10 pm

musicmom

Mar 2 musicals - theater/film (Babbler)

That's what is under the Themes thread in Bab Anon.

6:10 pm

mab

Ohhhh......

6:11 pm

musicmom

Okay I stand corrected! Glad I hadn't decided yet. Now I can rethink it. Thanks!

6:11 pm

musicmom

Way to go Yvo!

6:12 pm

mab

That's wonderful Yvo!!!!

6:13 pm

Yvo

dont laugh, it took me most of the day , but it was worth it

6:14 pm

EvaNadine

no ones laughing Yvo -- thats a great accomplishment!

6:15 pm

mab

I've been babbling for quite a few months, Yvo, and I'm still comparatively slow at it.

6:16 pm

musicmom

No way was I laughing. Finishing is always a great thing!

okay I found my poster for tomorrow. Not going to update yet.

6:16 pm

doxy1lover

I take a while also.

6:16 pm

musicmom

I'm usually very slow. Today blew me away how fast I finished. I'm sure I'll get whammied tomorrow.

6:16 pm

EvaNadine

i still havent finished todays...lol...i got lazy

6:17 pm

mab

Ok. Since we don't have to be too reverent today, I think I will continue with my jazz fixation and change Dizzy's trumpet for Dizzy himself.

6:19 pm

musicmom

Cool Mab. I love Dizzy. Do you like the Marsalis family? Greg is a sax player and he hooked me on Branford. We have a neat cd of Charlie Brown songs played by the many of the family members.

6:19 pm

ExWren

I wish you'd make up my mind for me. I went by babanon for musical/theatre. Although mine is a poster perhaps it will do?

6:19 pm

musicmom

That was my bad ExWren ---- Sorry

6:19 pm

doxy1lover

I love yours exwren!!!

6:20 pm

musicmom

ExWren I love it too. That reminds me my Phantom CD has been missing since we moved. I need to go through some more boxes. I quit unpacking when I started babbling == hmmmmmm.

6:21 pm

ExWren

I saw the show last August, AND had a tour backstage! It was fabulous

6:21 pm

mab

I have a special affection for Diz. That's great that you have a sax player in the family. I took up alto sax in grammar school, but sadly didn't stay with it.

6:21 pm

doxy1lover

I'm jealous. I would love a backstage tour.

6:21 pm

musicmom

Ex - I'm jealous.

6:22 pm

musicmom

Greg has a Master's Degree in Performance. He is playing in a concert called Evening of Elegance on Sunday. I had to go buy a dress.

6:23 pm

Yvo

when you think only 72 words ,im awed by some of you that do this in an hour ,anyway you all are very nice

6:23 pm

doxy1lover

oh darn, you just HAD TO buy a dress!! :)

6:23 pm

mab

Oh, and yes, I think the Marsalis's are fabulous. Harry Connick took piano lessons from the elder Marsalis, and always wished he coud be a Marsalis.

6:24 pm

musicmom

Yeah. Ever since I quit my day job the dressiest outfit I have is khaki pants. I wear lots of yoga pants and jeans in my current career. Saturday I have to go shoe shopping (and bra) in a neighboring town.

6:25 pm

doxy1lover

finished.

6:25 pm

musicmom

Love the Marsalis. Love Harry Connick. Love Josh Redman and Marian McPartland (actually saw the last two in concert here on campus).

6:25 pm

mab

How great to live in a house of music makers!

Ex-Wren you are so lucky! And, you are always stylish.

6:28 pm

ExWren

Thank you mab, I am touched

6:28 pm

musicmom

Mab - my degree is in piano and voice, Greg is a saxophone player (also plays other woodwinds less proficiently but good) and our older daughter Sarah has been playing flute for two years and took her first private lesson today. Hannah isn't old enough for lessons yet but takes Kindermusik classes with me.

6:29 pm

helenary

Hello folks.
I cannot find the Ha 6/27 (and Ha 7/40, plural??)
Clues please!!

6:30 pm

mab

I'm still learning about jazz. I know Marian, but am only familiar with the name Josh Redman. Harry is so talented. I've heard a little of him from his latest - Pajama Game, on Broadway. I love his voice and his piano and he is wildly handsome.

6:30 pm

musicmom

helenary -- gave this one a little while ago and it worked.

ha+di4/6 (if you have a lisp) the 7 is the plural.

6:31 pm

musicmom

I agree about HC Mab. Josh Redman is a saxophone player. Relatively young.

6:32 pm

mab

HA 6 is ha plus da4/6, but spelled as if one had a lisp. The 7 is plural. Does that help?

6:32 pm

mab

di4/6 I mean. God forbid I should ever get anything right the first time round.

6:32 pm

EvaNadine

6:59 pm

Jacula

Evening/morning all. Anyone need any help?

7:00 pm

misstearweus

ha 5 is plural of the 4 above it.

7:00 pm

Jacula

ha5/14 - add a curly consonant to your unyielding ha4 before it.

7:00 pm

misstearweus

so is ho 6

7:00 pm

Jacula

ho6 - pl. of the ho5 before it.

7:01 pm

Jacula

Oops, sorry misstearweus, didn't mean to tread on your toes.

7:02 pm

lbetterman

ho- 5/16 pl

7:05 pm

Bamis7

7:05 pm

I once had the rh** typhus in my garden and the roots came up all over the lawn and everywhere.

7:16 pm

Jacula

LOL, night Miss.

7:16 pm

misstearweus

so true...it was a ghost town around midday today...

7:18 pm

Jacula

Miss - I think we have a couple of 'changeover' times here when theEuropeans are either sleeping or busy and when you lot Over The Pond are doing the same. Happily, we do all meet at times.

7:18 pm

Blaze

and to that dear Jac I say hail and hello

7:19 pm

lbetterman

le-4/5 pl

7:19 pm

misstearweus

so true...I've popped on around 3am EST a few insomniac nights and the board looked like Mardi Gras.

7:19 pm

Jacula

Hiya Blaze. Have you got snow in Canada? It keeps trying here and some parts of GB already have a covering.

7:19 pm

musicmom

Hey Jac. Just saw you as I walked through the room. I added two parody songs yesterday. Really folks - I am writing lesson plans. It is okay to trust your children with me. <G> It only looks like I'm chatting on babble.

7:20 pm

Blaze

the part of your glasses that you see thru

7:20 pm

misstearweus

Blaze said a word!!!

7:20 pm

lbetterman

tks

7:20 pm

musicmom

Shame on you Blaze. :-)) I did it twice the other day.

7:21 pm

Jacula

Hiya MusicMom. Yes, I read them earlier. Enjoyed them. Hope more Babblers will contribute. I'm sure Jamie's reading them.

7:21 pm

LeslieAnn

su 6?

7:21 pm

Blaze

Here in Vancouver we do not have snow.. in the lower city part... the mountains however a looking very white and beautiful.... I am sure there are lots of places with snow... just not here at the moment...

7:21 pm

lbetterman

need other le

7:21 pm

musicmom

I think it is fun. Just pop into my head sometimes while I'm driving around town.

7:22 pm

Jacula

Add the sometimes vowel to the wrongly spelled smelly chamical.

7:22 pm

Jacula

Other le is a city in North Dakota, apparently.

7:24 pm

Jacula

MM - I agree. I have quite a group of friends and my O/H who all write parody songs. It's great fun.

7:24 pm

Blaze

musicmom that is why I should finish the grid before chatting.....ROFLOL

7:25 pm

Jacula

ABBA and Beatles songs lend themselves very well to parodying.

7:25 pm

musicmom

Yep that's how I did it. Started talking before searching. Shame shame

7:26 pm

Jacula

Blaze - Didn't realise you were in Vancouver, or I'd not have asked such a silly question. My uncle used to live there. He's in Courtice now.

7:27 pm

Jacula

(That's Ontario, btw.)

7:27 pm

Blaze

You can get lots more information on Vancouver now that we are the new winter olympics hosts....

7:27 pm

lbetterman

last word still stuck on ho 5/16. brain tired tonight

7:28 pm

Jacula

ho 5/16 - Gray or white with or as if with age. Grizzled.

7:29 pm

Jacula

(Add the sometimes vowel to your frosty ho4/5.)

7:30 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm sorry guys, i still can't figure out the su6?

7:30 pm

lbetterman

su-smells like rotten eggs

7:30 pm

musicmom

Leslie --- yellowing chemical smells like rotten eggs. i think it is spelled wrong in the grid.

7:31 pm

Jacula

su6 - symbol is 'S'. Rotten eggs and volcanoes give it off. It's normally spelled with a 'ph' in the middle. Vile smelling chemical. Yellowy coloured.

7:32 pm

mudmud32

i thought it was spelled wrong too, but follow the letters the other way

7:32 pm

LeslieAnn

ooh, i got it. that is spelled right, i was trying to spell it wrong! thanks guys.

7:33 pm

Jacula

I've come to the conclusion over today's log that the 'su6' is spelled with a 'ph' in the middle in UK and both ways in the US.

7:34 pm

musicmom

I must have some UK in me because I use ph

7:37 pm

Jacula

MM - Maybe it's either an age-related thing, as teaching methods change, or a regional thing in US? I don't know.

7:38 pm

LeslieAnn

dictionary.com lists both, but with the f first

7:38 pm

musicmom

I don't know either. If I hadn't seen clues in the log much earlier this morning before I was even ready to play I would have had a hard time with it.

7:39 pm

lbetterman

FIREWORKS HERE ALSO. TKS EVERYONE

7:39 pm

Jacula

LeslieAnn. It would have the 'f' first, as it's alphabetically before the 'ph'. Hang on, and I'll check in my big (real book) dictionary...

7:39 pm

LeslieAnn

last two - ha 6/27 and 7 (plural, i assume)

7:40 pm

Jacula

y/w lbetterman.:-)

7:40 pm

AnMogi

finished here too!! thanks everyone

7:40 pm

7:43 pm

Jacula

Google 'sunna' or 'sunnah' for the ha words.

7:43 pm

Jacula

MM - It probably does.

7:44 pm

musicmom

I gave a clue at 6:30 p.m. for the ha words as well.

7:45 pm

Jacula

Another clue - the 'ha' singular word ends like the proper name for 'Judy' or 'Edie'.

7:45 pm

Having a video convo with my MSN friend in Scotland and he's just gone off to cook himself something. I am now staring a wall corner, ceiling and window blind in his office. He's got rock music playing, but I can't quite hear what it is. I can also hear him crashing about in his kitchen!*-/

Soory, thiS

8:54 pm

SORRY. sorry

8:55 pm

Jacula

Grant - There are 72 words in thith grith - but if you're pithed, I doubt you'll find many of them.

LOL.

8:57 pm

Jacula

However, when you look for ra6, and the ha6 and 7, you might be glad you're 'ish'd! LOL.

8:58 pm

grant

Jac: currently have 69. Looking for the pesky 3.

8:59 pm

Jacula

Can't fault 69 as a number, but what pesky 3 do you seek?

9:01 pm

grant

Assume any position in my behalf

9:02 pm

Jacula

Omigod! Not again. I can't take this from strangers twice in one night! Just tell me which words you need clues for.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Ah, think I just worked it out astrologically - Venus arrives at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun (46 degrees). The brilliant planet now swings as far to the east (left) of the Sun as it will get from our viewpoint, setting four hours after sundown and continuing to wane in phase as well as slowly enlarging in size.

Venus (the female planet) is now far away, The males (the Suns) are all fretting. LOL.

9:08 pm

grant

. Maybe it's time for John Gray to invest the ten bucks. (Actually, aren't we all taking this from strangers?)

9:15 pm

9:41 pm

Jacula

Sorry, just calming down here from a totally unexpected turn in an MSN convo from someone I have talked to for some years now. We just had our first video convo. My Other Half was just peeing himself laughing because he said it's what he though all along. Well, it was a shock to me!

9:41 pm

Good Evening to all -- a tired Woulf has returned to the den to seek how big today's grid is :)

As it is only 72, the hunt is on!!!

Hi woulf - been waiting. Finished it last night. Think I'm going the opposite from normal olders...can't sleep!

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

((**Jac**)) --- it's been tricky finding time to properly Babble lately ;)

9:45 pm

Jacula

Hiya Hoot, WolfMama. What are you on about? The older you get, the less sleep you need.

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey hoot!! ((**BIG HUG**))

9:46 pm

9:46 pm

jac ...just been reading the log tell us what was surprising about the video conversation ...im fascinated

9:47 pm

hootowl

Jac I never slept more than 6 hrs at any time...Now down to 3-4!

9:47 pm

Jacula

Ah! Love it! A mother and son moment. You can't argue with that.:-)

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL

9:48 pm

hootowl

Jac we've had more contact since I started this than ever before! :D

9:48 pm

Jacula

Hoot - I can do 3 or less, but not 4 right now. If I do 4 hours' sleep then I have to go for 8 or even 12 more. ^ or 7 is okay.

9:48 pm

hootowl

Hey is that the picture I sent you woulf?

9:49 pm

Jacula

Hoot - I believe you!

9:49 pm

shorty

ok how about tr5/14 i aint seeing it

9:49 pm

Jacula

The immediacey (if there is such a word) of the Net, is far more convenient, I guess.

9:49 pm

hootowl

I sleep more than 5 or go back to bed after the BF leaves for work and it's like I haven't slept at all. Weird!

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Yep -- it fits me best these days -- I have been dog tired most nights with dealing with Seb on the overnights and when I am on the computer he is usually sleeping on my chest :)

9:51 pm

sandyloo

shorty its what politions dont tell

9:51 pm

sandyloo

9:52 pm

shorty

OH MY GOSH TY

9:52 pm

Jacula

I slept a good night's sleep last night, Hoot, and only had fizzy water, no alcohol. Was woken at 4am by B'F's alarm (set to music - usually crappy music at that time of the morn.) and was FREEZING. No heat to be found from his body and so I stomped off and made myself a hot water bottle. Then his crappy music alarm woke me again, andf then AGAIN. At that point, I got so mad, and said so, that he left the bed and the house to go to work PRONTO! LOL.

9:53 pm

sandyloo

do you think drinking wine at night keeps you awake...i always wonder

9:54 pm

Jacula

Sandyloo - I think drinking wine at night helps me sleep. I was juzt talking about drinking only water before sleeping - I woke up in the end with a tension headache and then overslept after that by 2 hours!

9:54 pm

hootowl

Jac I didn't even hear him go this morning! Doesn't happen too often but I stayed up to finish last night so when I woke at 7 I was right on schedual!

9:56 pm

sandyloo

i have trouble sleeping never used to guess its the age!
but someone told me wine can keep you awake and i always have a glass or two at night

9:56 pm

hootowl

Sandyloo - I sometimes have a drink to help me relax enought to sleep . But just one! Too many and my mind goes into party mode and I don't get sleepy for hours!

9:57 pm

sandyloo

had a good nites sleep last nite tho its midday here and im trying to get motivated to do housework

9:58 pm

Jacula

Hoot - most of the time I don't hear him go, or his alarm, though I do tend to think the half-remembered things from the small awakenings all meld into one over a week or a month. Thing is, his alarm wakes my 'kids' (21 and 18) up in their rooms! I guess it even wakes the man over the road up for his early morning shift. Doesn't wake my Other Half up until about an hour has passed with him pressing the button though, unless I get real made and just give him a hefty kick out of bed!

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

My prob with having a drink before bedtime is that I don't have as restful a sleep. I think since I drink at very infrequent intervals, I am more susceptible to the REM disrupting effects of the alcohol.

10:00 pm

hootowl

Well mine just hits the snooze! But this morning I never heard it! And he said he hit it 5-6 times cause he didn't want to go to work! Never heard a thing!!!

10:00 pm

hootowl

Woulf you have to stop analyzing everything! That'll keep you awake every time! :D

10:01 pm

Jacula

Hoot - Do your wear ear plugs? We do at times. They are the salvation of a relationship, at times.:-/

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

And now my typing pace will slow down considerably as Seb has just awakened and is insisting on his bottle :)

10:01 pm

hootowl

Hey - do the grid! Time is flying!

10:02 pm

sandyloo

grey wof i take it seb is your child ..i was thinking it was the labrador in the picture

10:02 pm

hootowl

Nope - I usually wake up around then anyway so it doesn't bother me.

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't worry -- I am -- down to 35 to go -- going for the 2nd letter list now ;)

10:02 pm

Jacula

Wolfie, love. Hoot and myself probably know more about alcohol and earplugs than you. That might be bad of us, but forgive us, please.(((HUG)))

10:03 pm

sandyloo

the trouble with wine is that in west australia we have some fabulous wines and i love it with my dinner

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

sandy -- my icon is just a neat pic that my mom (hootowl) sent me weeks ago

10:03 pm

hootowl

That list was actually up at 12:25am! Very easy grid except for a couple of fakirs!

10:04 pm

Jacula

Sandy - Aussie wine is delicious and lethal. I try to avoid it!

10:04 pm

hootowl

Wrong, wrong word!

10:05 pm

Jacula

Hoot - who's wrong wording?

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

It may have been up, but I wasn't! ;)

10:06 pm

hootowl

Jac - he knows exactly what I do! We have always been honest with each other. Mom + son = friends

10:07 pm

hootowl

Me! Fakir wasn't really what I meant but only thing I could think of was totally non-PC! :D:D:D

10:07 pm

Jacula

Adam + M + S + N! Connect for a minute or 2!

10:08 pm

Jacula

Oh, Hoot! My daughter has spent the whole day taking everything I said 'wrong', too. She was in a naughty mood. LOL.

10:09 pm

hootowl

Well I think you know what I mean anyway - the ha 6 & 7 and maybe the su's!

10:11 pm

hootowl

My ex was that way. Absolutely addicted to making life as unpleasant as possible for me. If it ended after one day we might still be together. Nope.

10:13 pm

Jacula

Hoot, I know what you mean about your ex, but I meant that my daughter was taking the 'rude' meanings of anything I said, as in 'mucky'.

10:15 pm

hootowl

Aah - that's easy!

10:16 pm

hootowl

Sorry - easier!

I have 11 left to go myself

10:49 pm

GW, maybe you can play with it this weekend.

10:49 pm

hoot its like everything practice makes perfect and the secret is to totally chill out about your rating when you start it will come when you can play,, another great game is cascade on that site -cascade is really hard until you get the idea and then its great but im the greenest one in cascade

11:01 pm

11:03 pm

sandyloo

it is a word game- i dont play anything but word games and another good one is scrabble at games.com where they also play boggle but the boggle site is not very good

11:05 pm

sandyloo

but this site has a lot more to it than the game as im discovering everytime i come on and that makes it very appealing

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey hoot -- in my wanderings through the web I found this one for you ----
