12:59 am

sprite

The inconsistencies of the babble enable dictionary never stop to amaze me. :)
And since being capable of being amazed is a sign of a y

12:59 am

sprite

...young mind, I don't mind ;)

1:02 am

Stoner

Hey Jac...I've thought about what happened tonite, and I want you to know that I was on the other end of a similar siuation 25 years ago.....My girlfriend chased me down when I stormed out, and am I glad. We've been married over 20 years now, and it never would have happened if she hadn't caught me. I was so angry, but even more stubborn, and would have let it end there. We now have two kids and a grandchild, and it would have all gone down the drain. I thank God for my wife as often as I remember to( but not as much as I should). If he's worth it, do it, 'cuz you'll never know what might have been. Just my 2 cents... for what it's worth.

1:03 am

Griffums

woof

1:04 am

sprite

Griffs! *hugs*
How are you, hun?

1:04 am

Jacula

Stoner - you're not wrong. I know that. Let 's hope....

1:05 am

Griffums

*hugs back* I'm doing pretty well, Sprite. Healing physically each day, ready to tear my hair out in other areas of life. How's by you?

1:06 am

sprite

Never add teared-out hair to the mess, Griffs ;)
Glad to hear you are healing, though I am pretty sure it goes a lot slower than you'd like and need.
Doing okay here, step by step on the way to recovery, I guess ;)

1:07 am

Griffums

We old gals don't bounce like we used to! ;)

1:07 am

sprite

Ronin IS a word!

1:08 am

Jacula

...and that was more then 2 cents' worth, Stoner. Thanks for taking the time out to write it.x

1:08 am

Griffums

I was extra surprised when it wouldn't take that, because I thought it was a word I learned *here*...

1:08 am

sprite

Not on the outside, Griffs... inside we are unstoppable :D

1:10 am

Jacula

And, Griffums, can you stop all that 'olf girl' stuff? You are 4 year's younger than me, at least.

1:11 am

sprite

That was special, Stoner. Thanks for sharing that. *hug*

1:12 am

kat.dav

please tel me some words

1:15 am

Jacula

kat.dav - we give clues to words here, but don't actually give words. The idea of the game is tht you hunt down worfds and have fun doing so. The thrill of the chase... and all that....

1:19 am

sprite

Ec7/36 is nice to find.

1:20 am

helenkeller

2:48 am

licketySplitAUS

Marc - I see colours ;-)

2:49 am

MarqueeMarc

Huh?

2:50 am

licketySplitAUS

ir 4/5 think of colours. ir5/10 - heavy + vowel

2:52 am

MarqueeMarc

i'm not seeing it! is it biting me on the butt? all i can think of is irridescent.

2:53 am

phess

that would be a great word if it were in there. :)

2:54 am

broll

ir4/5 - made angry

2:54 am

MarqueeMarc

Right?! LOL!

2:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Marc - ir4/5 is i + a colour. ir5/10 is an ore you mine from the ground + 2nd vowel

2:55 am

MarqueeMarc

Got the color! Ore?

2:56 am

MarqueeMarc

Got it! I'm officially stupid!

2:56 am

phess

think: laundry

2:57 am

licketySplitAUS

hehehehe - Only you think that - not us ;-)

2:57 am

KevinE

I'm too lazy to count the clues...
59 words how many are there???

2:58 am

phess

2:58 am

licketySplitAUS

KevinE - you can go back 50 in the chat log - answers there. Something like 168

2:59 am

licketySplitAUS

Yes - Iron's are dangerous - especially if you are a single male in a rush to go out and use it standing up with your shirt still on. ;-)

3:02 am

broll

3:48 am

Haz1558

It's similar to the widow Reagan's name.

3:49 am

dalmatian5

It wasn't given massive coverage over here so maybe it just passed you by.

4:02 am

MarqueeMarc

Any help w/2nd & 3rd NO5/12?

4:04 am

Haz1558

The no 5/12's that I have are anagrams of each other - one is past tense of 'look around' (using body part) and the other is a plural knob or swelling. There may be others.

4:05 am

kanak

no5/12: snouted

4:07 am

MarqueeMarc

Got shouted! Thanks. Can't seeoter one. There are 3.

4:09 am

faeriekae

Angel - I love the 5,6,7, etc....letter list...that is fantastic.

7:07 am

faeriekae

7:13 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid today, faerie, so you can afford to take your time and chat a bit!

7:14 am

faeriekae

Haz - I'm finding that out. I see lots of words hiding in here....So what is todays theme? Did anyone ever figure it out?

7:15 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure, should I try to hunt down Babbler's profile and give a definitive ruling?

7:16 am

faeriekae

Haz - I looked up her profile and it says "shops"
So there.

7:16 am

Haz1558

According to her profile - it's shops.

Oh well, time to go to work. Bye for now.

7:27 am

Jen

Goodness! I hope your friend is alright! When do you leave and get back?

7:28 am

shorty

bye cliffopa

7:28 am

Jera

Sorry for disappearing awhile back... my son had a potty emergency & no one else in the family is cpable of helping a four year old. use the bathroom..

7:29 am

Jera

It's a day trip, Jen, my best friend from before we moved, about an hour away (the way I drive). I will go & hang out with her until her husband gets home from work. Mostly moral support.

7:29 am

shorty

of course not Jera thats how it always goes at least around here it does

7:30 am

Jen

That's so sweet of you Jera! And knowing you, you will cheer her right up! :)

(and trust me on the potty break... I know where you are coming from!)

7:31 am

Jera

The main problem was that he was poopy & trying to wipe himself off... but from the screaming I thought it would be smeared all over the walls... there was one spot! He actually did a pretty good job, IMHO.

My apologies to anyone having breakfast while Babbling...

7:31 am

Jen

How's he feeling? Better I hope.

7:32 am

Jera

Well, I better hit the road before rush hour traffic gets nasty... will be back later to chat & hang out!

7:32 am

Jen

Drive safely Jera! :)

7:32 am

shorty

bye jera

7:32 am

He's to the coughing phase, jen, keeping him home another week to not spread germs (& save money) at preschool. Last session of testing tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed!

amandacath

I am so stuck! Guess I'll ask for 7's. I've got:
an7/32
en7/36
he7/40, 7/36
ne7/32

what's missing?

7:55 am

Chris P

I have an ec7/36

7:55 am

mrwrite

ec7 - those who repeat what others say

7:57 am

amandacath

Yay! 3 7's and 4 e's to go ...

7:57 am

Chris P

What about the other 8? I have am8/50.

7:58 am

amandacath

it's an en8/55, chris - if you won the lottery...

7:59 am

michaelden

en8 /55 - how you'd feel after winning the lottery or drinking a fortified drink

7:59 am

michaelden

an7 /32 - pls give us a clue?

8:00 am

Chris P

It's related to the an5/10 - a negatively charged particle.

8:01 am

amandacath

an7/32 -A negatively charged i**, especially the i** that migrates to an an** in electrolysis

8:02 am

michaelden

thank you

8:02 am

amandacath

oops, forgot a * - ... an an*** ...

8:02 am

Chris P

Just finally got that en8!

8:12 am

Plebian

Please help...Na 5/12 has me completely baffled. Anyone have it?

8:13 am

amandacath

na5/12 - sort of a girl's name

8:13 am

gramma

Plebian, I have NA5/12. Like Ronald Reagan's wife..w/a diff vowel on the end

8:13 am

Chris P

na5/12 - slight variation on a female name. Also very similar to the no5/12

8:13 am

Jen

na5/12: disparaging word for an effeminate man. I usually see it like a woman's name combined... like na...-boy

8:14 am

amandacath

Ah, a very small sigh of relief - finished the o's... otherwise I'm feeling incredibly frustrated!

8:14 am

Plebian

Tks for you clues -- I'll keep working on it.

8:14 am

bunnyvicious

Hey Chris, can you throw me a clue for that am 7 pretty please?

8:15 am

Chris P

Hi bunny - it's the fluid inside the womb, when pregnant.

8:16 am

bunnyvicious

Thanks so much!

8:16 am

Chris P

YW - especially as you used my surname (pretty!)

8:18 am

Ouwachita

8:53 am

bunnyvicious

Snowy, my offer to have my five for a bit still stands! When you have that many in one house, they occupy each other!

8:53 am

bunnyvicious

If I had a gate I would! LOL, we don't have a fenced in yard.

8:54 am

Guarana

yesterday was only the second day I played, but I work up this morning convinced I had to find 4 words starting with sz. Imagine my relief when I saw that wasn't the case!

8:55 am

bunnyvicious

8:55 am

inge

Ou, na 5/12 is like Reagan,s widows name, change the last letter

9:01 am

bunnyvicious

I need both of the ch 6/7 combos, any one have those yet?

9:01 am

Ouwachita

ch6...sounds like a cheese

9:01 am

bunnyvicious

Hah! I monkey one! Like the cheese...

9:02 am

caitlyn

bunny ch6/27 a type of cheese miss out a middle letter

9:02 am

amandacath

I got that pair to, the other is driving me crazy!

9:02 am

Ouwachita

ch6...other one rhymes with a joanna

9:04 am

bunnyvicious

TY!

9:05 am

amandacath

well, ch's done - of 11 I've never heard of 6. Not good. But the def for the last ch6/24 will give you another word...

9:06 am

Jen

Done!

9:06 am

caitlyn

Well done finishers

9:06 am

bunnyvicious

WTG Jen (peeking over shoulder)!

9:06 am

amandacath

good for you Jen! I really don't like today's grid

9:08 am

Jen

anyone need anything before I let the munchkin play his phonics game?

9:09 am

bunnyvicious

Still need 55, but thanks.

9:09 am

gramma

Jen, I'm still not getting the ch's

9:10 am

amandacath

Thanks Jen, but I've resorted to the lists so I'll probably be able to muddle my way throught the last 30 or so... *grumble, grumble*

9:10 am

Ciboulette

what do you sit on?

9:10 am

michaelden

neither ch7 screams out at me

9:11 am

Jen

gramma, there are 2 ch's (6 and 7) that look sort of like that tasty orange cheese (well, I guess it's white too, especially if it's Irish)

9:11 am

Ciboulette

ch, think of shackles

9:11 am

caitlyn

michael have you got the ch6/27? plural for the 7/40

9:11 am

gramma

michaelden, was that a clue?

9:12 am

bunnyvicious

ch 6/27 & 7/40 are like a tangy orange cheese with only one cons in the middle instead of two

9:12 am

Jen

google the other one: ch6/7 " The opening into the nasopharynx of the nasal cavity on either side; posterior naris."

9:12 am

amandacath

I doubt they'd do that to anyone, michael.
ch7/40 - sounds like pl. kind of cheese, or, pronounced differently, people who don't play fair

9:12 am

michaelden

nope i have a ch 6 /24

9:13 am

caitlyn

Im going for an hour!!!!!! Back later

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

Mich, add a vowel for the 7

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

9:15 am

michaelden

thank you all

9:15 am

amandacath

Hi Babbler - no trolls, but the grid's pretty ugly, if you ask me.

9:15 am

bunnyvicious

Manj, 12 of them make a foot

9:15 am

rycaut

manju - take a measured approach to that one...

9:16 am

manju01

hmmm

9:16 am

Haz1558

in4/4 - add the start of Reagan's name

9:16 am

bunnyvicious

RYC or 6/21 - or + what you eat with chop sticks (not noodle)

9:16 am

Jen

Well, I am off... getting bugged about playing the Clifford phonics game. Have a great day all! :)

9:16 am

Babbler

really? oh no, I've just run away from piranha sudoku! :'(

9:17 am

amandacath

or 6/21 = or + a type of grain
os 5/10 = a kind of willow tree; otherwise it's hard to give clues for...

9:17 am

bunnyvicious

I had a really easy time with the Sodku grid today, it's babble that is killing me!

9:17 am

inge

found a new way of doing babble: check the log after evry ten minutes of housework and enter the clued words, I am up to 1o1 now. Reminds me of the Waldorf school method of alternating brain and muscle power.

9:18 am

Haz1558

os5/10 - if you have the ho 6 meaning someone who makes/sells stockings, take off the h.

9:18 am

Babbler

I think I've done something wrong over there, bunny. Contemplating starting over... : /

9:19 am

bunnyvicious

os 5/10 is just like no 6/18 & ho 6/21

9:19 am

rycaut

haz - thanks - I could have sworn I had tried that... but guess not...

9:19 am

shorty

thats a good idea inge

9:19 am

bunnyvicious

I got all of the 1's right off the bat and was able to place the top middle cell pretty fast.

9:19 am

Babbler

good thinking inge. I really ought to go out for a walk (despite the squally weather).

9:20 am

Babbler

I started well too, bunny, but then I just kept going down dead ends. : /

9:21 am

gramma

Sorry I had to take care of the wee one. I'll scroll back now and get my clues 8)

9:21 am

bunnyvicious

Those little grren tick marks save my rear alot of the time, I just can't remember what doesn't go where if I don't!

9:21 am

Babbler

wow, the sun's come out in London! I'm gonna get out of the house before it starts raiining again. See you all in a bit! :D

9:21 am

bunnyvicious

Bye!

9:22 am

Babbler

ella -if you go to Angelsongs site under Friends of Babble on the right of this page there is a list that gives you the 1st 2 letters of every word in the grid. It is really useful for prompting words. There is also all the info you need to know about babble . there are lots of clues if you scroll back in the chat log too.

Whew! I'm finished! My monitor and sanity are saved! And as the crowning i***y, my last word was that really simple do4/5!!!!

10:07 am

Haz1558

matty - the barbarian reference is to a film role by Arnold Schwarzenegger. (began with C) If that doesn't help, then try first letters of bee produce followed by start of woman's name

10:07 am

Angelsong

I have the en 8...any clues for the other 8?

10:07 am

Off to Brownies now -BBL - Happy Babbling

stidmama

YAY Amanda! Bye Snowy...

10:08 am

caitlyn

Well done amandacath!!!!!!!!

10:08 am

Haz1558

The other am 8 relates to the membrane around a foetus.

10:08 am

caitlyn

Bye snowy have fun

10:08 am

gramma

Angelsong, there's only one EN8

10:08 am

Haz1558

michael - if you have the en8 then take off the last two letters for the 6.

10:10 am

michaelden

Thanks Haz - I'm definitely taking 5 minutes out now!

10:10 am

Haz1558

eo 6 - first find the ae4/4 relating to a long time. Remove the a. Then add an ending which makes the word an adjective (Scottish man's name, author Fleming of Bond fame)

10:10 am

amandacath

Thanks all. If I can help anyone else save their sanity...

10:10 am

gramma

Am 8 sounds very similar to the fluid in a pregnant woman's uterus

10:11 am

Haz1558

Michaelden - we've all done it before! Take a break and you'll see more words afterwards..

10:12 am

12:50 pm

Dachef

12:50 pm

Ae6/21 Ae4/4 + first two letters of frozen water

12:53 pm

stidmama

a 4/4 = "what you sit on" in slang
ar 5/10: to light a fire to cause damage, a crime

12:53 pm

Tigereye

the Ar4/4 is your bum, and the Ar5/10 is setting fire to stuff

12:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

nevermind - DONE!!!

12:54 pm

Vicuna

ar4 - British variant for which we use donkey
ar5 - setting fire to your house for the insurance

Can you share a clue for the first ch 6/24?

12:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty tiger!

12:55 pm

Vicuna

ch6/24 - bung a vowel on the end of the previous, for no apparent reason

12:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

st: make your ch5 a little longer

12:57 pm

stidmama

Thank you both! How do they get these words? I thought I was better read...

12:58 pm

Vicuna

You're perfectly well read. It's this crazy dictionary that doesn't seem to be very well educated!

12:59 pm

guerro

vicuna: and its not even in the dictionary

1:01 pm

Vicuna

Well, guerra, thing is, there's no such thing as THE dictionary. There are any number of dictionaries, and the one used by Babble certainly has disagreements with the one used by the question marks beside the word list, as well as with the ones I have here at home. Annoying, in any case, but hardly the end of the language!

1:05 pm

guerro

Well, VicunO, you are very correct !

1:06 pm

Vicuna

That said, I agree with you wholeheartedly: it's so dumb when the words aren't even in the dictionary! :)

1:06 pm

movieman

an5/12 & 7/32 plz.....

1:07 pm

Vicuna

an7/32 - adj form of an5/10 before it
an5/12 - one of the terminals of a battery

1:07 pm

guerro

Yes, like some languages use different vowels at the end of words or names to denote gender. Like in Spanish they use the letter 'a' for female and the letter 'o' for male. ;)

1:08 pm

stidmama

an 5/12: I think it's one of the poles of a battery? an + old term for a long poem-story. "An *** on a Grecian Urn"

1:08 pm

movieman

Sorry, I meant the an5/10 & 7/32.....

1:09 pm

Vicuna

Ahh, sorry guerro, didn't notice that I'd made you a female battle!

1:10 pm

stidmama

an 5/10: change the first vowel of on 5...

1:10 pm

guerro

;) if I wasn't such a man it wouldn't matter so much, right? lol its slang for whitey

1:10 pm

Vicuna

an5/10 - negatively charged particle, the 7, as previously mentioned, is an adj form thereof

1:10 pm

stidmama

an 7: tack on the first two letters of frozen H2O...

1:10 pm

guerro

but i still want to be a white guy instead of a white girl

1:11 pm

Vicuna

Fair enough, guerro! :) And there are few enough men on this site as it is!

1:11 pm

movieman

Thanx, all......

yeah, I will probably have to write my masters thesis about how I managed to fail out of business college because I was too busy (obsessed) with sudoku and babble . <sigh>

I hope you're singing it now!

Does anyone here have children they would sometimes just like to take outback and beat the living hell out of?

1:18 pm

rycaut

any help with the na's - I have two of the 4/4 but there are bunch I have not a clue about...

1:18 pm

Vicuna

Not really, faeriekae. I'd rather just abandon mine by the roadside!

1:18 pm

faeriekae

My friend John has 2 children and this past weekend his daughter 17yrs old stole $200.00 out of my purse and a bottle of pain pills (Vicodan)

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, I'd say beating would be a very real temptation. Mine are still too young to be more than extremely annoying.

1:19 pm

Dachef

guerro - why not write a thesis on "that m is really bugging me?" Believe me (I know, cos I've been there), bosses and tutors do not take happily to the excuse: "I'm sorry Im late for the meeting/exam/lecture I was stuck on that sodding an5/10 in the middle of the grid." Never seems to go down too well.

LOL!!!!

1:20 pm

faeriekae

What do I do? Her father says that she would never do anything like that. But she was the only one there when it came up missing.

1:20 pm

stidmama

oh fairiekae, how dreadful! I once gave a lift to a young woman I thought was a college student. When I got home my new prescription (luckily my purse was by my feet) was gone. Joke on her, though the meds were important to me, they had no street value or "fun" value! So, yes... though I am not a violent person...

1:21 pm

movieman

ch6/27 & 7/40 now, plz.......

1:21 pm

faeriekae

Stidmama - It ticked you off though right? The nerve of some people.

1:21 pm

guerro

dachef: that is actually a pretty good idea. The insurgence in popularity of word and number puzzles and the online versions they have spawned.

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Try to get him to see that IF she did it, she could be in real danger with the pills. Maybe if he thinks of it as a danger to her and not "just" you being angry...

1:22 pm

Tigereye

Ch6/27 sounds like a cheese, 7 is the plural

1:22 pm

movieman

Thanx, Tiger.....

1:23 pm

Dachef

"the popularity of word puzzles and the amount of work hours lost to the nation due to us lot playing them at work" might be better!!!!

1:23 pm

Tigereye

I have Ea, Ec x 7, En x 3 and Eo and idea which one I'm missing?

1:24 pm

stidmama

Time for another break -- the laundry needs folding. BBL

1:24 pm

guerro

faeireke: get her alone and tell her that if she returns the items in question no harm will come to her. If she refuses, then give her one last chance. If she still refuses, take a ball bat, or they may call it a cricket mallet where you are from, and hit her across her knee. If she still refuses, hit across the other knee. Rinse and repeat until she gives you your stuff back.

1:24 pm

faeriekae

He knows they have a street value and that they are very strong pain pills (my Dr just increased the mg. from 500 to 750) He is not dumb to that stuff its just that he doesnt think his daughter would do it. He says that I must have misplaced them...Ya right.

1:24 pm

movieman

That damn Italian greeting again!!!!!

I never spot that one.......Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

1:24 pm

dachef: that would be one chapter ;)

1:25 pm

faeriekae

Guerro - LOLOL - thats exactly what I would love to do to her.....

1:26 pm

guerro

hey, its not about love. Its about that slimey cunt stealing. You have to let her know you mean business. Or she and her father will keep taking advantage.

2:41 pm

lynxxx

ec sounds like it will come back

2:42 pm

Haz1558

ec 6 and 7's are forms of the resounding ec4/6. There are plurals there, the people making the resounding noises and the past tense

2:43 pm

Haz1558

ch7/36 is the plural of the ch 6 but it takes a latin plural - ends in a vowel

2:43 pm

faeriekae

I did sort of make her weekend hell for her. I made her help me clean house which she has never done in her life. Honestly. The girl can't even make a bed right. But I taught her how.... *grin* and how to mop with a real mop you know bucket of water the whole works.

2:59 pm

faeriekae

Oh Jera I have 12 steps and I hit every one of them. Please be careful. My dog got between my feet and I tripped. Plus I had taken my hand rail down to get a big freezer out and hadn't put it back so that was my fault I guess.

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

Hello, everyone.

The AM8 is based on the AM6 - referring to the fluid surrounding a fetus in the womb.

Fortunately my boxes are uniform. I will make hubby take the books down, the ones we don't donate or keep on display.

3:04 pm

I think every person spends different amounts of time, and some puzzles are way harder than others. A suggestion made my first day (about a week ago) was to print out the grid, and one of the lists of clues, and take it with you to work offline during the day, then finish up when you get home.

ch6/27 and ch7/40?

6:24 pm

peester

Good evening, all. stidmama, great suggestion! Beckzilla, I just finished typing in my list created off line on the printed list -- not all I'd written were actually words, mind you! -- and I got 96. PLUS!!! Nothing to hide on the screen at work...

6:24 pm

saffire

ch. cheesy!!!

6:25 pm

BaronPuffPants

mmmmmmm, cheese...

6:25 pm

stidmama

I am one of the lucky ones that the "flip" to the new puzzle happens just before I turn in for the night. And, I work at home (and the last two weeks have had sick children who kept me from doing much real work anyway)... So I look at the puzzle and then let my subconscious work on it while I sleep. Then I pop in during the day when I have time, and have (except for today) been frantically typing for the last hour of the puzzle!

6:26 pm

stidmama

lo' Angelsong! Trade you for ch 6/24 and 7/36...

There was a great Monty Python sketch: "Rogue Ch*dd**"
and the ones you want sound like and are almost spelled like that cheese and its plural

6:27 pm

peester

stidmama, have to admit that I've often dreamed of the grid after falling asleep-- closes after I go to sleep-- thinking of words I should have tried...

6:27 pm

cliffopa

schwer, my first time I swore I would not submit to the torture of another puzzle. But guess what? Here I am. It only takes a little while to pick up on clues, etc.

6:27 pm

gromit

ir5? Anyone?

6:27 pm

Guarana

this morning I woke up thinking I needed to find four words starting with sz

6:28 pm

peester

Oh, the ch 6 & 7 (plural) are the schools orthodox jewish kids go to, 1 less vowel (& does sound like the cheese)

6:29 pm

cliffopa

ir 5 is 2nd ir 4/4 with 2nd vowel at the end

6:29 pm

BaronPuffPants

ir 5/10 is ir 4/4 with a vowel at the end

6:29 pm

Guarana

OK, how about ha5/14?

6:30 pm

Angelsong

6:30 pm

stidmama

6:35 pm

gromit

6:35 pm

gromit

6:36 pm

Guarana

6:37 pm

miller da killer

ok lets face it, i'm much better at sudoku than at babble. i love making up words, but none of them count on this one!

7:00 pm

cliffopa

Trust me miller, Babble is easier than sudoku.

7:00 pm

miller da killer

maybe i'm more of a number person. the number of possibilities on this one is overwhelming!

7:02 pm

cliffopa

yah but you'll be learning all kinds of obscure words - amaze all your friends and family.

7:03 pm

miller da killer

yeah except my mom plays too. she had the biggest vocabulary before, but now she's unbelievable. that's probably why i do this...mostly just admiration. (i prevail when it comes to sudoku).

7:06 pm

cliffopa

my son has always tortured me with numbers. he has an aversion to word games - maybe that's why i like babble.

7:06 pm

miller da killer

got to run, but i'll be back to overcome the puzzle. buahahahaha!

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

8:52 pm

renfield

8:52 pm

evanonut

8:53 pm

evanonut

fyi rennie, dirt bike would be fine, it's roads and other cars the scare the pooh outta me.

8:53 pm

Jen

nut, I had metioned that my hubby was leaving on business and some troll started talking like he knew where I lived and what he was going to (ahem) "do" to me while hubby was gone... a lot of people e-mailed Jamie on that one. It was actually frightening!

8:53 pm

renfield

wolfie...i don;t know how it destresses,,but it does..even sitting here in this lonely old office. i guess it'a all of you and not having to talk legalese

8:54 pm

GreyWoulf

Jen - and then when we were all speculating as to ella's age she tried to say she was 18 and that we should respect our 'elders' --- that was when I stepped in and told her to stop using words she didn't know the meaning of

8:55 pm

Babbler

Jen, my goodness, I wasn't here for that. So sorry you experienced that, it must have been horrible. The trolls we've had lately have been nothing like that, I'm glad to say.

8:55 pm

jen we always used peaches, oranges, apricots etc to soak in red wine for 8-12 hours, then add either soda or a fruit juice and top off wiht 4 different hard liquors - vodka, brandy, whisky - whatever

9:23 pm

hootowl

9:24 pm

ElfWord

w00t, 700.

9:25 pm

CobraLimes

Sangria with LIMES!

9:25 pm

hootowl

We always used peaches. No hard stuff and no sugar.
Think you do it to taste.

9:25 pm

Babbler

ElfWord is on a roll!! good going!! :D

9:25 pm

LeslieAnn

good call cobra

9:25 pm

kristinc

hiya Hoot! I was on for a bit yesterday but actually ended up w/ company and didn't finish...love company, hate not finishing!

9:25 pm

andy12489

yes hoot the hard liquor is only a tiny trace (say 1 shot per 2 litres of sangria)

9:25 pm

cliffopa

Back from 24 land - Jack saves the day again.

9:26 pm

andy12489

good luck gromit

9:26 pm

hootowl

Company does have a habit of showing up at just the wrong time!

9:27 pm

Jen

The recipe I got from the bar downstairs used a lot of hard stuff, but you can do it to taste... it really makes it better, IMO

9:27 pm

epsurreal

any clues on en7?

9:27 pm

ElfWord

Ping-pong, fun times. I'm lucky to have a best friend with a ping-pong table in his basement. Speny many a late-night/early-morning there.

9:27 pm

Jen

en7: en + 1st ch5

9:27 pm

jeffer

lucky did you see 9:21 and the 0:08 clues?

9:28 pm

hootowl

Well I may have been lucky on the likker cause I'm allergic to some and I would not be expecting it in Sangria

9:28 pm

epsurreal

thanks again jen:)

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

HAven't played ping-pong in YEARS!! Was actually USTTA rated at one point -- about 20 years in the past :\

9:29 pm

Jen

YW eps... I just noticed you lived in Spain too!! Where?

9:29 pm

hootowl

Good grief woulf - where does that leave me? I never went over 1000 though.

9:29 pm

epsurreal

jen, I lived in barcelona for a little while, and also elche and zaragoza.

9:30 pm

jeffer

the middle no 5/12 anyone ?

9:30 pm

kristinc

well, you all are killing me because I have no idea how to even score ping pong

9:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, neither did I, Mom -- but I felt like sharing :D

9:31 pm

hootowl

1 2 3 4 :D

9:31 pm

Jen

middle no5: take the no4 (seaweed) and add A vowel.

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

kristi -- to tell the truth -- from what I understand they streamlined the game and changed the rules some, so neither do I at this point

9:32 pm

hootowl

Last time I saw it on TV they were playing 11 pt games! Not even time to warm up. Not long ago...

9:32 pm

kristinc

GW-blast...I hate "progress" --means you have to pay more attention

9:33 pm

cliffopa

middle no 5/12 - take the 4th 4/4 (another word for nada) add 1st letter of my name before the last vowel.

9:33 pm

hootowl

Usually means They progress to more money and You progress to poorer faster

9:34 pm

GreyWoulf

I hate when the rules get changed just so the rankings can get shaken up --- all because the sponsors are afraid people will get bored if the same people keep winning over and over

9:35 pm

hootowl

Does anyone know what that ch 7/36 means? Dictionary.com doesn't know.

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

ni5?

I have the fish ready...

9:35 pm

kristinc

oh, if anything, changing the rules would make me watch less b/c I wouldn't know what was going on.

9:36 pm

Jen

I think I am going to head off to bed... anyone need anything before I go?

9:36 pm

hootowl

the first is an opening in a wall where you might put a statue
secon is ni +no4/4 - last letter

9:37 pm

Jen

woulfie, there is an ni5... a little nook in a corner or in a wall...

9:37 pm

cliffopa

Any clues for the 2 na 5/10's

9:38 pm

LUCKY

Here's the ultimate puzzle ....
three words to go accorcing to stats panel
but only two on the list!!!
what'sup????

9:38 pm

LeslieAnn

i hate vowels! ae 7, 6?

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry, I meant the 2nd one -- had the statue display area -- and am glad it wasn't an obvious one -- I hate the smell of fish :)

9:39 pm

Jen

1st na5/10 means a nostril, but it looks like female horses with a dif. 1st letter

9:39 pm

kristinc

me too...I need the second ni5!

9:39 pm

Babbler

hoot, if you google it, you'll see a full definition, but briefly the ch7 has to do with nostrils. : )

9:39 pm

cliffopa

lucky, i seem to have the same prob

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

cliff -- 1st na5/10 -- nasal cavities -- rare word that looks like a plural but isn't

9:39 pm

Jen

2nd na5/10, take the 1st one I gave and change the last vowel to the one that means "me"

9:41 pm

Jen

BJ's list is complete... sometimes MrP's list has a missing word...

9:41 pm

cliffopa

jen - wonderful clues

9:42 pm

hootowl

Sometimes words vanish from the list when it's been accepted and once I found more words than I thought I had. Have to do a kine by line check to find them. Hope you keep a list.

9:42 pm

LUCKY

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

He has a program that mines the grid as soon as it is generated -- then he has another algorithm that mines that list for the stats we have all come to know and love

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Smeltzdog?????

10:01 pm

10:04 pm

Smeltzdog

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

But there will only ever be the one and only Smeltzdog!

Go get your sleep -- I am going to turn in very soon myself -- 6 AM comes very quickly when you have to break your sleep to feed the baby ;)

10:24 pm

stidmama

Smeltzdog, I'll introduce myself, as one of the newbies...

Been here about a week, housemom to a teen and an almost-teen; I used to think I was an under-achieving pretty smart gal -- then I started playing this and think maybe I'm an overachieving moron!

10:24 pm

kristinc

oh, there's lots of cuzzi takers still around, speaking of that, we haven't jumped in in a while...mama not here quite as much!

10:24 pm

11:48 pm

hootowl

No - just boy friend. A late in life surprise after 20 years divorced from his father.

11:48 pm

stidmama

se 6/21 is the first one my spouse saw last night. When a medium/spirit channeler holds an evening get-together. Think crystal ball and spirits talking in the background.

11:49 pm

stidmama

stidmama

hootowl, my step-grandfather is happy again with a lovely person two years after my grandmother died... I struggle with how to introduce them. "Hi folks, this is my late grandmother's common-law husband and his new 'roommate'?" I love them dearly, just explaining relationships is hard. Especially since he is also a distant cousin from my other parent's side of the family!

11:52 pm

stidmama

YAY chic!

11:52 pm

ElfWord

11:53 pm

LeslieAnn

stid, my mom and bf have been living together about 6 years, I think... I just say, "my mom's boyfriend" even though it seems much more than that

11:53 pm

leep

11:53 pm

ElfWord

chic, it covers most people's heads.

11:53 pm

stidmama

Just celebrating in advance. What else do you need?

11:54 pm

hootowl

I feel for you stid - have you tried just saying this is my grand father and his wife? Most people Probably won't care about the permutations.

11:54 pm

ElfWord

Any 8 letter words besides the am and the en?

11:55 pm

LeslieAnn

nope, elf

11:55 pm

hootowl

what chic - what????

11:55 pm

stidmama

For most people, that is exactly what I do! But then there are some who deserve to know -- who are close enough to me (in-laws etc) to merit more explanation.

11:56 pm

chic

ri 5/20

11:56 pm

grigs

6 minutes left, and all i have to go are the last 2 en's... they must be RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME..... AAUGH!
(help)

11:56 pm

ElfWord

7 letters besides the ch and the ec?

11:56 pm

hootowl

Well I'd make the intro and add the details later. Simpler I think.

11:57 pm

justafreep

on those EN words... think of EN as a prefix

11:57 pm

stidmama

grigs, flour and cereals are en + ri 4/6 + past tense

11:57 pm

LeslieAnn

en + not poor but **** and past tense

11:57 pm

leep

chic - first word of --- de janiero plus first 2 letters of asian country --pan

11:57 pm

ElfWord

Only two en's I have are to make someone the opposite of poor, and what you are once someone has done that.

11:57 pm

hootowl

en +ri 4/6 then past tense

11:57 pm

jeffer

ri 5/20 wine

11:57 pm

grigs

stidmama, you are my hero for ever and ever and at least the next 4 minutes.... i love you, will you marry me?

11:57 pm

LeslieAnn

en + ch 5/14

11:58 pm

grigs

(i love the rest of you too, i swear)

11:58 pm

stidmama

ri 5/20 turns out to be a red spanish wine

re + third vowel and following consonant + first vowel

11:58 pm

rebekb

on of the en's is en+ch5/14 past tense

11:58 pm

stidmama

sorry grigs, happily encumbered, but flattered nonetheless...

11:58 pm

rebekb
