I finally quit listening to my 8 track tapes (never liked the Carpenters or Barry Manilow anyway!) But I still have records. And I listen to them. So I really should get a VCR. I think I'm going to just buy them at yard sales until I can afford a really good one that won't wear out....

gromit

12:33 am

justafreep

zoot and ying aren't words? that's odd. Capitalized, perhaps?

12:34 am

Angelsong

it's YIN and yang, not ying...

12:34 am

torgone

Thank you Angelsong ...

12:35 am

helenkeller

this is the quickest i've ever done one of these - well, not quit done, have 1 more to go & am really not seeing it - very frustrating!!!!

12:36 am

justafreep

angel, I know that. But that ying isn't a word when ywis is... well, it's just WRONG, I tell ya!

12:37 am

LeslieAnn

freep brings up a good point... what is a freep, anyway?

12:38 am

justafreep

it's a family word, actually. And also (unfortunately for our family!) the nickname of the Detroit Free Press

12:38 am

LeslieAnn

what does it mean in your family?

12:39 am

justafreep

hellen, I'm impressed. I've been stuck on 61 and thought I was a superdooper!

12:40 am

justafreep

in our family it was more of a sound effect, though I've turned it into a noun. Ahhh, the power of growing up!

12:40 am

helenkeller

well freep, i think i'll be stuck on this last one for eternity, if that makes you feel any better :)

12:41 am

hurshy

i been on about 10 mins, i got 20 left, this is too small!

12:41 am

helenkeller

lol hursh

12:42 am

justafreep

are you looking at the stats, hellen?

12:42 am

helenkeller

maybe the sudoku will take up the rest of your day

12:42 am

hurshy

whatcha missing helen? maybe by some freakish chance... oh you're not a pro so you don't know

12:42 am

hurshy

nah, i'm fast at sudoku

12:42 am

Angelsong

got the co7/40, but I can't find the 8.

12:43 am

andy12489

angel look at co 7/32 and think

12:43 am

renfield

angel = past tense

12:43 am

helenkeller

and . . . done!

12:43 am

gromit

angel - version of co 7/32

12:44 am

andy12489

congrats Helen

12:44 am

hurshy

terrif, helen, now you can help me with my last 17...

12:45 am

helenkeller

thx andy - that was different

12:45 am

cybernan

congrats, helen -- amazing, in fact!

12:45 am

helenkeller

no prob hursh, glad to help - but i bet by the time i'm done typing this you'll have, like, let's say, oh, about what? 2 left?

12:46 am

hurshy

no, 16 - as usual, one of everything. 2 z's.

12:46 am

helenkeller

well nan, i must say, this is the first time i ever saw a board so clearly - i sure hope it happens again (knocking on the desk here)

12:47 am

cybernan

whatever happened to zoot suits?

12:47 am

Angelsong

I'm missing the co7/32, which is why I don't have the 8.

12:48 am

helenkeller

angel - i think someone already gave a clue for that one - scroll back a bit

12:48 am

andy12489

angelsong, co + consonant + a thing you do when you write down something you want to remember

12:49 am

helenkeller

nan, maybe that's what the other 'z' was supposed to be, but was a typo instead, lol

12:49 am

hurshy

oh 2 p's 2 g's also. i am intrigued by this p7/8 that ppl say are not words - clue?

12:49 am

gromit

andy - do you have clue for the other co7/32 for me?

12:49 am

LeslieAnn

thanks andy

12:50 am

gromit

sorry, meant other co 7/40

12:50 am

andy12489

gromit there is only one co 7/32 - you mean co 7/40?

12:50 am

hurshy

12:50 am

Angelsong

12:50 am

andy12489

12:58 am

hurshy

12:58 am

helenkeller

12:58 am

LeslieAnn

i'm in the west burbs! def. not the north side. and i grew up even farther away

12:59 am

LeslieAnn

12:59 am

helenkeller

12:59 am

andy12489

1:00 am

LeslieAnn

nope i'm in lisle. someone else is from niles, i can't remember who at the moment

1:00 am

cybernan

still haven't found the p 7 & 8 -- not being a baseball fan, that clue was about as useful to me as if I gave the bunch of you a clue relating to curling!

1:01 am

renfield

lol nan...i'm a yankees fan...so who are the cubs????
think a hot mucsical sound

1:01 am

hurshy

1:04 am

chic

That r is in just about the un-useful-est place I can think of!

3:41 am

Luther F.

Help with the IN's please anyone?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Think of gold

3:42 am

amandacath

Think gold, Luther

3:42 am

Eren

oz 7/48
A clue, please?!

3:45 am

Luther F.

I still dont see em, sorry im an idiot

3:45 am

Haz1558

Make a verb out of oz5 the gas.

3:45 am

Eren

gold bars I think

3:46 am

Haz1558

Luther - in plus past tense of 'obtained'

3:47 am

amandacath

Luther - maybe pirate gold...

3:48 am

Luther F.

thanks haz , super clues i owe you one or better yet three.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Glad to help, Luther.

3:48 am

amandacath

So just how short is this one - I don't want to keep looking if I already have everything (not that that's the case, I'm sure)

3:48 am

Luther F.

thanks everyone

3:49 am

Haz1558

80 words today.

3:49 am

amandacath

Ah, yes. Well, 30 to go...

3:50 am

Eren

Thanks, I figured it went with the other oz's but I am still not finding it...

3:50 am

Haz1558

Put an ending on that sounds like what you use to see with.

3:51 am

amandacath

Eren - british spelling on that verb ending, if that helps

3:55 am

MarqueeMarc

I can't get OZ 7/48 either!

3:57 am

amandacath

oz7 means to make into oz5

3:57 am

Haz1558

Okay - have you got the oz 5 - the one that has a diminishing layer? Take off the vowel at the end and replace it with a verb form that sounds like eyes but is spelt in the British way.

3:57 am

MarqueeMarc

Got it! Yippee!

3:58 am

Haz1558

Well done!

3:58 am

amandacath

Go Marc!

4:01 am

Eren

Thanks. I got it!

4:02 am

amandacath

Good for you, eren

4:10 am

amandacath

Oy! 9 7s, 2 8s! - wasn't expecting that!

4:10 am

Ow, a small one today! Morning, dear gang :)

4:11 am

amandacath

morning sprite!

4:11 am

Luther F.

only 7 to go, i think ill sleep on em, nite nite everyone

4:11 am

sprite

Luther, you must be king of self control. No way in this world that I could go to sleep with only 7 to go, LOL!

4:13 am

Luther F.

well ive been trying to find the same 7 for nearly a half hour. its more frustration than self control.

4:14 am

sprite

:) Still wise, to leave those frustrating 7 for the morning when you are fresh. Sleep well! And feel free to ask for hints and clues if you are stuck.

4:15 am

Luther F.

thanks goodnite and good luck to the rest of you babblers

4:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Sprite.

4:19 am

sprite

Hi Haz :)

4:20 am

sprite

Could someone please hit me with the fish if I try goonies one more time?

4:21 am

Haz1558

It's a long reach, but I'll try.

4:22 am

sprite

It is SO almost there!

4:27 am

sprite

Argh! Just found this beautiful P9/P8 combo and it is NOT valid? What else would we call the sounds coming from a bagpipe?

4:27 am

Haz1558

Painful.

4:33 am

amandacath

OOOHHH Sprite - just got a 7/8 combo from your bagpipe non-word. "Sound to make you energetic"...?

4:34 am

sprite

amanda, way to go! Thanks :)

4:34 am

amandacath

or: sound made at a rally after school (US-specific, I know, but maybe you'll have heard of it)

4:39 am

sprite

Another nonword combo: area(s) designed for your favorite animal.

4:42 am

Haz1558

And I'm finished so I'd better do some useful things.

4:43 am

sprite

Bye Haz

4:43 am

Haz1558

Bye all!

4:46 am

amandacath

??? Sprite - the one I'm trying for won't work. Animal you keep in your house + area?

4:47 am

sprite

That's why it is a nonword combo. It won't take. :(

4:47 am

amandacath

Ahhhh, now I understand!

4:49 am

sprite

This grid is so full with them, I almost can't see the words that ARE valid ;)
Well, one more 7 and I'll have the biggies covered.

4:49 am

amandacath

Sprite, there are no goonies but there is a gremlin - alt. spelling

4:50 am

sprite

Got that one :) Can't make it with the Z, alas.

4:53 am

amandacath

I'm missing one 7 as well. I've got:
3xc, 1xI, 1xo, 1xp, 2xs - what's missing?

4:55 am

sprite

1xm

4:55 am

amandacath

that's what I was afraid of....

4:57 am

sprite

I was missing the O, thanks.
For the M: there is a row of 3: Mo5/16-6/27-7/40.

4:57 am

sprite

*row = series

4:58 am

amandacath

Ah, thank you. Had the mo5 - put it in a while ago, thinking "that certainly won't be valid" - but lo and behold...

4:59 am

sprite

I had exactly the same with the C-verion of that one :)

5:00 am

amandacath

That one surprised me too - any idea what it is besides a country?

5:01 am

sprite

It's also a black tea grown in China.

5:02 am

hkj

What! no ZOOT? Surely!!!

5:03 am

sprite

hkj, I know, it's a sad grid today. But change the last letter and you have a word :)

5:05 am

beckybw

im new on this ,how do i know how many words i need to finnish

5:06 am

sprite

Becky, one of the three bottom links on the list on the right will tell you all you want to know :)
Good luck babbling and happy hunting!

5:10 am

sprite

Oh, and for today it is 80 :)

5:12 am

REDHEAD

sprite - are you meaning the links like "Bablers Anonymous" ?

5:12 am

amandacath

I've heard rumors that there's a yucky se lurking in the grid - it's evidently the one s I'm missing. Anyone know what it might be?

5:13 am

beckybw

thanks sprite

5:14 am

sprite

Redhead: yes, those are the ones.
amanda: that's the one I am missing too, apparently. Let's hunt together :)

5:15 am

HollyBug

Good Morning Kiddos.

5:15 am

Chris P

se5/14 - but I don't know what it means.

5:15 am

REDHEAD

Thanks Sprite...

5:16 am

sprite

Hi mum :)

5:17 am

HollyBug

Good grid today?

5:21 am

sprite

Fun grid, but a lot of almost words that are driving me nuts. I googled and found that Se5 is a kind of field rat.

5:23 am

sprite

And it is an anagram of "burn superficially"

5:24 am

amandacath

Yay - got it. Must be off now to do shopping and stuff. Hope to be back later to get the last ---- arrrggghhh - 3!

5:25 am

sprite

I need 2 more, an E and a G. The hunt continues ;)

5:27 am

HollyBug

I don't actually get up this early. I've been out and about and to breakfast already... I don't know what to do with myself.

5:28 am

sprite

Holly: did you do the sudoku already? ;)

5:29 am

HollyBug

lol. I don't sudoku. hehe.

5:29 am

sprite

The IronSudoku link could bring you another addiction ;) Or... you could read a book!

5:30 am

HollyBug

Hehe. I'm sure I'll figure something out... but it's still weird to be conscious during this time of the day. I'm SOO not a morning person...

5:30 am

sprite

And that's me done for today. Great grid, but tricky.
Thanks for the fun and company, dear gang. Great day/night/whatever and happy hunting.

5:31 am

HollyBug

Good night! :o)

5:32 am

sprite

I actually am an all kinds-of-time person. Late at night and early in the morning. Just NOT afternoons. I am close to a zombie in the afternoons. :)

6:01 am

Jera

*smack*

Can't believe I missed that one... told you I was bad with vowels...

6:02 am

Jera

Now I just need one more O... the one that starts from the second row middle...

6:03 am

Jera

Still mad oingo isn't valid...

6:03 am

Chris P

Jera

emtiandeca

co8/50

6:17 am

I have found the longer words often come from the smaller words... esp with the -ing in the grid... that's why I find smaller first...

(but that's just me)

6:17 am

gelababe

ah, interesting. Thank you

6:22 am

That's true, gramma

6:30 am

gramma

Bex, I don't really know the theme for the day. I download them one month at a time. I'm always amazed at what comes up for the day. I'd guess black and white; but, I'm not sure ;}

He says Ishould have been a careers officer, I can find him so many things to do

7:04 am

Sherylr1961

7:07 am

snowyowl

sorry sheryl =no -there are a couple of quite good word games on MSN - but nothing that compares with this one. Stopped playing everything else now!

7:07 am

Sherylr1961

Now sewing he will do, all the mending goes to him, but if I want it really fast, I take it to the tailor, lol

7:07 am

gramma

Sher, somtimes I'll play word games on east of the web...popword. or eight. It's certainly no babble; but, can be fun.

7:07 am

snowyowl

clue for the co8/50 movieman? Pretty Please!

7:08 am

Sherylr1961

I play scrabble on line and do crosswords on line, have great sites for them but since I found babble haven't been on them very much

7:09 am

movieman

Snowy - here's a definition:
To suggest or imply in addition to literal meaning
the 8 is the past tense......

7:09 am

Sherylr1961

gramma is the website popword.com

7:09 am

snowyowl

My Dad could sew really well but mine does do housework & can cook -it's why I've never left him -I'd hate the fact that he can manage perfectly well without me!

7:09 am

Miyavi_fan

*pings bell* tea's up

7:09 am

gramma

Sher, it's "east of the web"

7:10 am

Sherylr1961

lol, my hubby will do housework, if and only when I specifically tell him/ask him to please do whatever. If not he will do nothing,lol

7:10 am

Sherylr1961

Hi Angelsong & Holly Bug

7:12 am

Sherylr1961

holly are you saying most wives are in the same boat, lol. I don't know how many times we have had the "talk" about how nice it would be for me to come home and he has pushed the vacuum or did the dishes without me asking, lol

And to all u husbands out there, no offense, you know who you are

7:13 am

movieman

gramma, have you tried googling the definition.....

7:13 am

macuser

Angelsong... snowyowl gave a great clue at 7:02 for the pe7 & 8

7:14 am

HollyBug

lol... What I really love... He can watch me work around the apartment ALL day... and like... it doesn't occur to him to ask if I need help. I want to stab him. I probably should not.

7:14 am

gramma

no I haven't. I was counting on my fellow babblers

7:14 am

Sherylr1961

gramma
co 8 think a scam artist and add what you might write to a friend, just a short n*** + make it past tense

7:15 am

Sherylr1961

no you definately should not, you have probalby got him trainied to do some of the things you like and if you stab him you would only have to start fresh with a new one, lol

7:15 am

gramma

Sherylr, TY. I cannot believe I couldn't see it at all.

7:15 am

Miyavi_fan

Great clue, Sheryl :)

7:15 am

8:08 am

Marc Freeman

Last one so I don't want a real clue but does the first co7/40 work off of the co5/16 before it?

8:09 am

prana

Marc, no, it doesn't. It's a compound word.

8:10 am

prana

I hope that wasn't too much of a clue

8:10 am

bluephlox

you helped me get it prana. thank you.

8:11 am

8:12 am

err..yes I do. and the plural..am not with it today

8:12 am

Angelsong

here's a clue for the mo7: think of a tropical fruit, then change the first vowel.

8:12 am

Marc Freeman

5/16 African country and the 7/40 does work off of it as the two letter pl

Thanks all I have to go

8:12 am

sandy211

liana....think Africa

8:13 am

bluephlox

8:14 am

lianakate

sandy..thanks..I had it. duh on me..The one i cannot get is the longer version of a long, long time..i have monkey typed my arse off...yuck

8:14 am

sandy211

try past tense

8:15 am

Marc Freeman

lian, take off the last letter of eo4 and then add three letters meaning belief

8:15 am

Angelsong

lianakate: the word ends the same as Native Americans.

8:16 am

Marc Freeman

lian are you working on eo6? Anyway that is the clue I gave you.

8:17 am

lianakate

yes, mark..I dont know what the heck is wrong with my brain?..still trying..UGH..(indian word)..lol

8:18 am

Angelsong

liana...look very closely at what you just posted...you've written the ending you need for that eo6.

8:19 am

lianakate

YAY..ty. Mark..i got it with the belief thing, and excluding the s..the s was my problem..

8:19 am

Marc Freeman

lian eo+contanant meaning long time+ third vowel +constanant+consanant

8:21 am

lianakate

now that I finally got that word..(thanks to all of you)..i can go on to the other 4,500..(lol, so it seems)

Hi there. I'm new here. I discovered this site last week, and have just signed up for the Pro version. Just wanted to say hello. :)

I've got 27 words left to find on today's puzzle. I'm very happy to have found one of the 8 letter words! :)

10:36 am

ExWren - love your black/white ball!!

10:36 am

jasmine_ellen

I can see myself becoming quite addicted to this site. I love word puzzles like this and Scrabble.

10:36 am

stidmama

Hi jasmine, and a big thank you to (((brandyjack))) who doesn't know me but I love the helping pages you set up!

10:37 am

10:37 am

ExWren

I'm with you there brandyjack, I've tried it a couple of times, but I always run out of options. I know the theory, but can't work it out

10:38 am

jasmine_ellen

Newbie question... when people are asking for or giving out clues and say things like "co7", what does this mean?

10:39 am

EasternBlue

Jas - welcome to the club!!

Ex & BJ - once you get the hang of Suduko - it's not too bad....those little green numbers are wonderful!!

10:39 am

brandyjack

It means it's a 7 letter word starting with co, and the 32 following it means it's worth 32 points

10:40 am

brandyjack

what green numbers?

10:40 am

EasternBlue

Jas -
the word starts with co and has 7 letters

sometime people will put the point value too

eg.
zo 5/20

10:41 am

ExWren

welcome jasmine, what part of the world do you live in?
A co4/5 means a word starting with co, it has 5 letters and is worth 5 points

10:41 am

EasternBlue

in Sudoku, when you 'select' the number, you can do <shift> click to put a potential "little" number in the grid - one you 'think' it might be (or several it might be)

10:41 am

jasmine_ellen

Cool. Thanks, EasternBlue. I thought it meant something like that.

I'm hungry now, so I think I will give this puzzle a break for a while and come back later. Nice to meet you all! :)

10:41 am

EasternBlue

bye Jas - catch you later!!

10:42 am

ExWren - I'm Australian, but I spend most of my time in England at the moment.

10:42 am

brandyjack

you know, there are times when it pays to read the guide. I spent a large chunk of the morning building a spreadsheet that does what those little red and green numbers do..

Aaaaarrrggggggghhhhhhhhh hh!

10:42 am

ExWren

EB, my grid was full of 'little' numbers!

10:43 am

kmartinson

thanks brandyjack I finally got it; so many uncommon words in babble.

10:44 am

Can someone please tell me where that Sudoko site is that everyone is talking about?
Thanks.

10:44 am

10:48 am

EasternBlue

catch you later BJ!!! enjoy the tea & toast (altho' how can you eat something after it's spoken to you is beyond me!!)

10:49 am

only way I know of to shut it up.....

that last zo is not a word....it's a suffix!

11:45 am

bookgrrl

woo hoo! off to grade papers now...

11:45 am

harpjane

but sometimes the longer ones are easier, since there are lots of plurals, past tenses, etc. Once you get one word, it leads you to fifteen more....

12:03 pm

The best clues for pe 7/36 were that it sounded like a 50's singing group; also that it was pe + the consonant again + "a musical sound"

Can't remember who wrote those clues, but they were great.

12:04 pm

7:15 pm

7:15 pm

magbag

7:16 pm

travelgirl

if nothing else, google is just as astounded as i am re some of these words. i can't tell you how often i stump google, and i've done it several times today on this puzzle

7:16 pm

rebekb

This is a very addictive game, even more than scrabble

7:17 pm

rebekb

travelgirl -- www.bartleby.com also a good resource, has a lot of dictionaries

7:17 pm

magbag

7:24 pm

rebekb

7:25 pm

magbag

stidmama

the other st 6/24 is like the st 6/18, only with the sometimes vowel in place of the second s

7:26 pm

MarqueeMarc

** is usually for lesbians! No really I was only going up, not down so I missed Oscar no**. Which is a better clue...
But thanks. :)

7:26 pm

brazen.nitwit

pluralize st 6/24 for a 7/36!

7:32 pm

mo 6/27 add an e to word above (5/16)

7:53 pm

MarqueeMarc

INGE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Was so stumped on those 2! Mad about mo! It was right in front of me & i tried every variation!

I'm done!

8:14 pm

Stoner

Yay! 80 words, 1257 pts, hope that does it....First time I've finished! And before 7:30 my time....Cool!

8:16 pm

guigrrl

Stoner -- hm...is that a literal username? ;)

8:17 pm

Stoner

Guigrrl---Not anymore...........Ahhh...those were the days!

8:18 pm

guigrrl

:) LOL -- the past is a good place :)

8:22 pm

Stoner

Woodchick---st6/24...think smelly cigar...rhymes w/ cartoon character Boo-Boo's best friend.

8:23 pm

woodchick

I've got that one...it looks like there's another?

8:25 pm

Stoner

Woodchick---sorry...st6/24--th ese kinds of fields are hard to plow...

8:27 pm

woodchick

Duh! Thank you :)

8:28 pm

Stoner

I suppose I could have said my name with a different last letter.

8:28 pm

Stoner

By the way...Fireworks?

8:29 pm

woodchick

nope. I've got 8 more

8:30 pm

guigrrl

anyone have the st 7/36?

8:31 pm

Stoner

St7/36 ....page down to 8:22

8:31 pm

guigrrl

thanks stoner :)

8:32 pm

guigrrl

i didn't have the plural (whoops)

8:35 pm

davidtoc

so what's a "good" score for a day?

8:36 pm

ShadowHyrst

st 7/36 if you get this you be smokin'

8:38 pm

davidtoc

oh come on it doesn't know zoot??

8:44 pm

hurshy

a good score - the amount of points varies from day to day bc there are different numbers of words - many people get all the words

8:44 pm

Stoner

But it takes a suffix like zo4/9...

8:49 pm

Angela

I know I'm a little late, but is there a theme today?

8:51 pm

brazen.nitwit

any other clues for mo 6/27 ...help!

8:51 pm

guigrrl

any clues for the oz words?

8:51 pm

TommyShag

Anyone have a hint for gi5/16? oz7/48??

8:52 pm

stidmama

Fireworks for Stoner... Way to go!

--**F**I**R**E**W**O**R** K**S**--

8:53 pm

stidmama

oz words all have to do with that hole in the layer above the south pole...

8:54 pm

stidmama

gi 5/16 is sort of a British spelling for a word meaning "gadget"

8:56 pm

guigrrl

thanks stidmama!

8:57 pm

brazen.nitwit

oz 7/48 ...this one has to do with the atmosphere as well - i don't see it.

8:57 pm

stidmama

Angela, I think the theme for today was "black and white ball" some folks had penguins, and there were a couple soccer balls this morning...

8:57 pm

brazen.nitwit

...any other hints, perchance?

8:58 pm

Angela

Thanks stid - I'm not staying long, just curious... What about tomorrow?

8:59 pm

ShadowHyrst

activists are concerned about oz*** and other stuff

8:59 pm

stidmama

brazen -- think of what you would add to any word when you want to change something into it. Again, a British spelling

9:00 pm

woodchick

Phew! Finally finished! This is my first completed puzzle!

9:00 pm

stidmama

Angela, I just popped back on after being gone all day, not sure if anyone said what the theme would be. I hope I can afford to go "pro" soon so I can have fun with icons :-)

9:01 pm

guigrrl

way to go woodchick!

9:01 pm

stidmama

YAY!!! (((woodchick)))

**F**I**R**E* *W**O**R**K**S**

9:02 pm

woodchick

Thanks!! I'm happy to have finished...even if it was a short list today!

Now I'm off for some shuteye!

9:02 pm

Angela

It definitely makes it more fun to do the icons. I went pro about 6-8 months ago but just recently started changing them.

9:03 pm

ShadowHyrst

I started playing last week & went pro today...this addiction finally got to me; now I'm gonna have to govind a 'ba' and see if they have 12 steps

9:04 pm

brazen.nitwit

for oz 7/48 - a british variant thereof? ...i still don't see it ...argh.

9:04 pm

TommyShag

DONE!
Second time finishing, but first time without help from the Mrs.
That oz7/48 was darn tricky.
This is too much fun. Thanks everybody for all your hints and I'll be here for the next one (only 3 hours away)!

9:05 pm

stidmama

Way to go TommyShag...

**C**E**L**E**B* *R**A**T**E**

9:05 pm

Angela

It is VERY addicting...which explains why I signed in for only a few just to see how many I could get before I pass out! All but 21 but I'm fading fast...

9:06 pm

ShadowHyrst

Some of these were SO obvious...but not after staring at them for the day...hope tomorrow is another finisher

9:06 pm

renfield

**F**I**R**E**W**O**R**K**S** for all who finished today!!!!!

9:07 pm

stidmama

brazen -- the last part of the last oz sounds like the things you use to see with... ends in the second vowel...

9:07 pm

guigrrl

renfield did you complete?

9:07 pm

brazen.nitwit

thanks again stid ...i'm looking.

9:08 pm

renfield

yes guigrrl about 1:30 am this morning....

9:09 pm

brazen.nitwit

GOT IT!!!

it was indeed a 'british variant'.

9:09 pm

stidmama

I was glad today was a short puzzle. I got some yardwork done, spent time with my mother, and still took a nap! Always a successful day when I can get in a nap...

9:09 pm

kneestabber

Man...only 48 words so far. Though I guess not too bad for what is really my first time here. I'd like to know what all I'm looking for, which means I guess I'll have to upgrade. :)

9:09 pm

guigrrl

grats ren :)

9:10 pm

renfield

thanks guigrrl...are you finished?

9:11 pm

stidmama

knee -- follow the Babbler's anonymous link in the box of "Friends of Babble" There is a list of how many words, the total points available and a couple more lists that tell you how each word starts. Not as easy as the pro window, but nice as a help. And AngelSong's Babble Page is my other favorite at the moment.

9:12 pm

guigrrl

not yet -- just started a few hrs ago -- sleeepy (east cost USA) so i probably won't today.

curious -- film noir fan?

9:25 pm

stidmama

9:26 pm

brazen.nitwit

ren ...thanks. i thought of that, but thought 'nawww' couldn't be THAT easy

9:27 pm

stidmama

Hey smaller -- "stidmama" is my logon in lots of places (yahoo, google, etc) A combination of our last name and my permanent job title. Ren, I live on the West Coast of the U.S. near the capitol of Washington state. We also don't get reliable cell phone service at home...

9:27 pm

renfield

LOL brazen....

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

brazen -- you learn quickly in this game -- if it might even possibly show the slightest signs that it may be thinking about being a word, it probably is! ;D

9:28 pm

renfield

stdmama - we had beautiful gardening weather today as well

9:29 pm

smaller

sing-song-copy-cat voice,
*smaller said a word*

9:29 pm

brazen.nitwit

mo 6/27 comes up with no def. in dictionary (dot) com ...odd.

9:30 pm

smaller

renny, you're just brown-nosing dr. god

9:30 pm

renfield

haha haha haha - smaller :-P

9:30 pm

guigrrl

renfield are you in so. cal?
god you guys have beautiful weather (and people) on the west coast!

9:31 pm

smaller double :-P

9:31 pm

smaller

LOL Stidmama!!!
it's amazing how many times that job title can be said in a minute, isn't it?!!

9:32 pm

brazen.nitwit

anyone have a (even partial) def. for mo 6/27 or 7/40 ?

9:32 pm

guigrrl

renfield -- LOL
been there...done that :)
i grew up in new orleans and travelled to tx a bit :)

9:32 pm

brazen.nitwit

got the word, just can't figure out what it means.

9:33 pm

stidmama

gui -- I grew up many years in the Tidewater region of Virginia (paternal unit was military). I loved the changing seasons of the other coast, and the warm waters... can't stand the waters off the west coast!

9:33 pm

brazen.nitwit

or is it a variant of mo 5/16 somehow?

9:33 pm

stidmama

add an e to mo 5/16, then pluralize it. Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but it works!

9:33 pm

guigrrl

nice stidmama-- i'm in nc now :) east coast is nice :)

9:34 pm

smaller

brazen,
as in my post to stubie at 9:20,
I understand your pain. It happens all the time.

9:35 pm

brazen.nitwit

perhaps it's esperanto ...or klingon.

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

not enough hard consonants to be Klingon :D

9:35 pm

stidmama

brazen, do you know that if you click on the question mark to the left of a word it brings up a dictionary page with the definitions (usually)?

9:35 pm

brazen.nitwit

esperanto it is then.

9:36 pm

brazen.nitwit

stid - yep, thanks tho.

this one comes up a blank.

9:36 pm

hurshy

klingon, what about klingon? there's no word for jolly, so don't go looking for one.

9:37 pm

ShadowHyrst

I thought of Blazing Saddles for mo 5/16, etc

9:38 pm

smaller

well fiddlesticks!
gotta go! happy babbling!

9:38 pm

renfield

bye smaller - see you later

9:38 pm

Congrats on going pro, as well, Shadow :)

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

ren - how is mez?

9:41 pm

ShadowHyrst

now, that movie will forever be etched with today's word list; not sure that's good or not

9:41 pm

renfield

shadow and i were caught in a time warp at the flip last night......the transporter caught us mid flip

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

It's a great movie -- so it must be a good thing ;)

9:42 pm

ShadowHyrst

GreyWoulf: it only seemed logical, and a small price for my addiction. The bottles of Scotch, however, will be another matter as I continue to play

9:42 pm

aacool

to5/14, please:)

9:42 pm

renfield

good wolf....he had a ruff time thurs & fri, but better today..

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Shadow :D

9:42 pm

guigrrl

shadow -- what kind? glenlivet for me :)

9:42 pm

renfield

that's hedley....

9:42 pm

ShadowHyrst

to 5/14 a 1920's/30's term for looking good

9:43 pm

stidmama

to 5/14 is like to 5/10 only with the last letter changed out for the sometimes vowel. I think it means high-falutin'

9:43 pm

ShadowHyrst

a girl after my own heart...both glenlivet & glenfiddich for me, though I can be encouraged to sample all of the other single malts from time to time

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

I think Thurs and Fri were rough days all around, ren -- thur night was when Seb wouldn't let me get more than 3 hrs sleep -- glad to hear he is doing better (*Hug*)

9:44 pm

aacool

I got it, thanks:) y'all are spiffy

9:44 pm

renfield

sorry about your loss of sleep wolf......hope you get some rest this weekend.

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Shadow and guigrrl -- I applaud your taste in Scotch :) Next question is -- how old?
I prefer it old enough to vote, personally :)

9:45 pm

Berta

Hi GreyWoulf

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Berta :)

9:46 pm

brazen.nitwit

shadow ...you should try brichladdich single. good stuff.

9:46 pm

guigrrl

GW -- at LEAST 22 :)

9:46 pm

ShadowHyrst

logically, the more mature, the better. But anything will do in a 'pinch'; but minimu of 12 year old stuff, and 18 is preferred; it just depends on what's on hand, and who is 'buying'...

9:46 pm

stidmama

I'm going to go see what movie the rest of the family is watching... see you-all after the flip!

9:46 pm

brazen.nitwit

bruichladdich, sorry.

9:47 pm

Berta

I am just trying this out. I see that you are on.

9:47 pm

ShadowHyrst

is brichladdich available in the US?

9:48 pm

Berta

You do know who I am don't ya

9:48 pm

brazen.nitwit

believe so ...tho not through direct import.

meaning you can't web-order.

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Berta -- just sing out if you have any questions -- we'll help as best we can :)

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Berta -- how could I not? :D

9:49 pm

brazen.nitwit

bruichladdich.com - check it out.

9:49 pm

renfield

hey berta

9:49 pm

Berta

I will; it will be my next research project; probably next weekend

9:50 pm

Berta

Hey renfield how are you

How cold are they?

9:55 pm

renfield

hey holly!!!! did you study this week?

9:56 pm

Berta

Woulf tell me how can I bring the message board closer. To the playing screen.

9:56 pm

Guarana

good eveing everyone! I'm new and I need help!

9:56 pm

renfield

hey guarana (like the herb?)

9:57 pm

Guarana

there are 17 I still need and am stumped.... zo 4/9 and zo5/20. I have the words associated with area.

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Berta -- no way to move the message screen -- but if you hit the jump down button at the top of the chat log -- it will pop you down to the board and then jump up to come back

9:57 pm

Guarana

yeah, like the herb

9:58 pm

Berta

Can anyone tell me how many words are suppose to be in here?

9:58 pm

Uludaas

Zo4/9 - Move from one .... to another in a MMORPG.
zo5 - Passed tense

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

What I usually do is have multiple windows open so I can hunt in one and track the log in the other :)

9:58 pm

ShadowHyrst

zo is one of the ones

9:58 pm

Uludaas

80 words today

9:59 pm

Uludaas

Sorry, zo5 is not passed tense.

9:59 pm

aacool

pe7 and pe8 are pretty cryptic

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

10:14 pm

rolotom

Any help with the 2 words for the bottom P?

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

I meant -- how tricks?

I have been having serious keyboard dyslexia the past few days ;D

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

And re:due date -- there is only one person who truly knows and he/she aint telling until the last minute! - LOL

10:16 pm

Guarana

I'm still not getting two of the zo words... there are four total, right? I have the two that are like the signs: No Passing Zo**(+plural). Any other clues? pretty please?

10:16 pm

HollyBug

So... Here's a question... do the husbands/wives also babble? I tried to talk Joe into it... but he looked and looked and found two words... so I'm not sure he'll ever be a die hard.

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Gotta go for right now -- will be back for my last 20 in a little bit :)

(would be done by now, but having too much fun chatting!)

10:17 pm

renfield

kooooollllll nut!!!! i love your photos!!!!

10:17 pm

kristinc

GW-Gotcha, things are good and yes, that is my attitude about the whole thing. I've got nothing else going on at the point so I'm just flexing with the whole Dr/due date drama...it will be when it is.

10:17 pm

mamabear

Guarana - the other z rhymes with moon (and the plural)

10:17 pm

kristinc

see you in a bit GW

10:17 pm

Guarana

rolotom- what do you mean by bottom p? I have all the p-words, so I might be able to help.

10:17 pm

evanonut

thanks ren, hubby nut has the red hair.

10:18 pm

evanonut

but i'll probably never be in them. i'm the only one who ever takes pictures.

10:18 pm

renfield

zo 4 = zo 4 /9 that you have - last vowel then insert 4th vowel after 1st vowel then make it plural

10:19 pm

Guarana

oh, thank you MAMA BEAR! I had no idea that was a words, but surprised I didn't try..

10:19 pm

mamabear

HollyBug - no babble hubby here!

10:19 pm

kristinc

holly,
my husband will babble with me at times...he actually finds lots of words but then when I'm scrolling up and down trying to chat with friends, he gets annoyed. Sometimes if I'm tired but still want to finish, he'll finish for me too. Good guy he is but babble is still more my thing.

10:19 pm

mamabear

your welcome!

10:20 pm

renfield

sweet nut!!! i'll try to get my kodak gallery back up. i love your kitkat and pupster!!

10:21 pm

rolotom

Thanks Guarana. I have seven P words but am missing two. The stats claim they are from the P in the bottom row. Am new at this. I know I am missing one each of 5, 7, and 8 letter words. How can I ask without giving away the words I have found?

10:21 pm

mamabear

rolotom - do you have the pe 7 and pe 8 words?

10:22 pm

HollyBug

oooh.
I love pet pictures.

10:22 pm

mamabear

the pe 7 is pe* (meaning energy ) + on your cell phone you have a ring t****...... and the 8 is a plural

10:22 pm

HollyBug

I have more picture of my cats than I care to admit.

10:23 pm

rolotom

No, I don't. Any clues? Thanks very much.

10:30 pm

HollyBug

OKay. That's totally all. :o)

10:31 pm

Guarana

no5/10.. it's like a sound. or the thing on the front of your face with an extra vowel

10:34 pm

10:36 pm

renfield

10:39 pm

Tux Cat... is Figs. Figaro. He is VERY VERY vocal... and when he wants food... he cries and cries... not that he's ever starving... They are just little pig like cats.

10:41 pm

rolotom

Thanks renfield! First complete finish for me! Very exciting.

10:42 pm

HollyBug

They love boxes... though... any paper product seems to suffice. They once fought over who got to lay on a bit of paper towel that had fallen on the floor.

10:42 pm

10:49 pm

HollyBug

10:49 pm

kristinc

holly,one of mine is sitting on my keyboard under my hands as I speak (type)

10:49 pm

renfield

10:49 pm

HollyBug

He also has a thing for electronics. If your cell phone rings... he wants to be your very best friend and sit on you. Even strangers.

10:50 pm

renfield

HollyBug

I have one of those, Kris. Hehe.

10:51 pm

10:56 pm

HollyBug

Figaro is the one that's the worst about the sniffing. His mouth will be like... totally open.

10:57 pm

kristinc

GW-We were all here chatting about cats one day and someone (a male...few of those around here) was jokingly giving us a really bad time...thought it was you but clearly not! It was actually really funny b/c they really didn't like cats

11:01 pm

11:18 pm

Guarana

d'oh, Angelsong.. that was so easy! Thank you! I'm done! First attempt and probably final win. I took me a few hours, and it looks like this was a short puzzle. :(

11:19 pm

kristinc

Angel, I was basically saying (very unclearly) that you arrived while I was out changing my icon (so as to excuse my late welcome of you). Sounds like a busy time with all your pages!

11:19 pm

renfield

gi 5 = is a thing a ma jig....gi + snakey consonant + abbreviation sor state of missouri

11:19 pm

Angelsong

Guarana, it is very short, by usual measures. Good job finishing!

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Guar -- it gets easier with time --- you will be surprised at how quickly you get to recognise the odd words over the ordinary in the grid :)

11:19 pm

sonipitts

d'oh! I always thought that was spelled with a 'z'!

11:20 pm

I may need to put babble and ironsudoku on my blocked list. I come to these sites too often.

momerath66

thanks to the short puzzle I'm the closest I've ever been to finishing! 9 left. My brain is short circuiting on the pe7 & 8. Any hints? Are they related to anything previous?

11:25 pm

renfield

hey stidhat!!

11:25 pm

stidmama

stidhat mutters hello from his corner of the room, where he is frantically typing away...

11:25 pm

stidhat

Hello kristinc, no time to talk, gotta find like 80 more words! aah

11:26 pm

kristinc

type on Stids-still finishing here too!

11:26 pm

markbowers7

lol, stidhat....

11:27 pm

renfield

the pe 7 & 8 are not related
pe 7 = pe* rally or pe* talk + ring to 4/4 then make it plural

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- things are going pretty good for me -- the new job is looking good for being taken on permanantly and the family are all healthy. I am looking forward to the day I get to tell Lenscrafter's that I don't need them anymore though.

11:27 pm

momerath66

i got it! the second i ask for help, sheesh. it's sort of like the sound of a cheerleader's voice ;)

11:27 pm

markbowers7

Ren and Grey, i have begun tinkering with some melodies... CD #2 is a definite possibility this year!

11:27 pm

renfield

pe 7 & 8 are not related to other words...i didn;t finish my thought

11:28 pm

renfield

good news mark!!! austin city limits????

11:28 pm

markbowers7

well, i just finished my first week at my new job (long-term temp, hope to go full-time) at MICROSOFT!

11:29 pm

renfield

way to go mark!

11:29 pm

markbowers7

Ren, i'd love to play in Austin...it's only like 5 or 6 hrs from here...we'll have to see

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

That's great, mark!!! --- CD #1 is on my to get once I am hired on permanantly list. I haven't added to my music library in awhile so I think I am due :)

11:31 pm

stidmama

congrats on the new job, Mark, we know several people who work at Microsoft in Redmond, WA (and a couple who retired at embarassingly young ages) -- but our job paths led to less lucrative and less time-consuming employment...

11:31 pm

markbowers7

of course, CD #2 would be easier to do if more of CD #1 were to be sold...(yes, that is a hint)... :)

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

mark -- Let's make a deal -- you send me good vibes to be taken on perm and I will do the same for you ;)

11:32 pm

sonipitts

no 4/4, but not the short message one

11:33 pm

markbowers7

lol, Grey! i concur. absolutely. i definitely want to go full-time with them, and i'm sure u wanna go full-time at your place....

11:33 pm

stidmama

no 4/4 should be as plain as the no** on your face, but with a typo...

11:33 pm

Angelsong

Hey, Mark......I live in Austin!

11:34 pm

sonipitts

Thanks! How about oz 7/48?

11:35 pm

markbowers7

well Angel, i don't mind playing for u and Ren, but i would like to be able to pay for the trip down....concerts, etc will be easier to schedule once the job thing is firmed up

11:36 pm

momerath66

oz 7/48 when you get what we have in our atmosphere in a can and you spray it. usually you'd think it's spelled with a z.

11:36 pm

Angelsong

GW, I'm adding my own good vibes to Mark's for you.

11:37 pm

renfield

soni - oz 7 = if you have oz 5 insert the singular of are (or the 3rd vowel + snakey consonant) before the last vowel

11:38 pm

susanj2

eo 6/21?

11:38 pm

markbowers7

well, i gotta head to bed...i play at my church, so my fingers need their sleep...

11:39 pm

Angelsong

eo6: a very long time + a suffix for a belief system.

11:39 pm

Well, I guess my honey isn't going to finish... he followed the link to Sudoku! I won't see him for hours! [sob!] That's the trouble when one of us is a words person and the other is a math person...
