12:17 am

GreyWoulf

At one point, Babbler came on to the log because she had been watching "The Others" and we ended up on a thread of assembling a monster hunting pack -- you know the standards -- wooden stakes, holy water, garlic, etc.

12:17 am

renfield

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

Anyway -- since we were having so much fun, I created a new thread on BabAnon, in the Other Interests category for people to contribute their suggestions... I recapped what has already been stated, I though you would like to contribute due to your love of old films :)

12:18 am

renfield

ty leslieann.....he's got stars in his eyes!!!!

12:19 am

LeslieAnn

...gotta love it when you type something in, it takes it, and then you can't figure out where it is on the grid

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

No, your mistress is safe for now, ren -- though if she ever turns evil and intent of taking over the world, we will be ready for her (hopefully)

12:19 am

renfield

Welcome caloli!

12:32 am

caloli

hi and thanks :)

12:34 am

caloli

Can I join in giving clues?

12:35 am

LeslieAnn

sure, caloli, just don't post whole words in the log... most people want the opportunity to guess

12:35 am

Freckle

how many words are there?

12:36 am

rebekb

OK 80 words, I'm going to bed!

12:36 am

caloli

okay! Do I give word clues? I don't understand the 'code' clues being given.

12:36 am

LeslieAnn

190, freckle

12:36 am

chic

cal, at this time we're finding the large words first; we never give actual whole words just first two letters plus other hints.

12:37 am

cybernan

caoli -- if you go to angelsongs page (link under friends of babble) you will find everything explained there.

12:37 am

LeslieAnn

gr 5/14 means a word that starts with gr, is 5 letters and worth 14 points. if someone asked for a clue for it, i would say it's a color.

12:38 am

caloli

thanks for the explanation ... here's my first clue.

12:54 am

grigs

hey, no fair, practically all the to's start with the same 4 letters...

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

re 7/28

12:55 am

LeslieAnn

...um grigs? who you saying no fair to? you're the one who found them :)

12:56 am

grigs

well, there is that... but it's never kept me from railing at the unfairness of the universe before now!

12:57 am

LeslieAnn

oh, right, ok. unfairness of the universe. just checking.

12:58 am

grigs

note to self: whiner tonight,do not inflict attitude on others. also, stop seeing "notarize" in puzzle, it's not there :)

1:00 am

LeslieAnn

that would have been a good one. i thought i saw "cauterize" except there's no u, so it would have been "caterize" which i believe is when you're attacked by well-meaning chefs

1:00 am

caloli

ooh, your 'notarize' comment just made my brain start working again. I live in Australia so words end in -ise rather than -ize here and I wasn't thinking of finding -ize words

1:01 am

grigs

cal, it works both ways. you get our izes (and the ises also show up) and we get your ae's.

1:01 am

caloli

Excellent!!

1:04 am

LeslieAnn

116 words, have half the 7's, good enough for me. i'm going to turn in. g'night all.

1:05 am

caloli

goodnight

1:05 am

grigs

g'night..

1:18 am

cybernan

135 -- calling it a night :)

1:18 am

grigs

ok, that's 106 for me, and it's past my bedtime. cal, don't forget to check out angelsong's babble page if you haven't already, there's a link to the complete list of wrods (not the whole words, just teh 1st 2 letters adn the points) so you can see if you have em all.

1:19 am

caloli

goodnight, and thanks - I'll be sure to check out the link.

ca8- pl of ca7 means highland robber

7:51 am

MarqueeMarc

Huh? My ca7 is a cook. ca8 robber?

7:54 am

knutmeg

there are two ca7s after the ca5. One ca7 comes before the ca7 which means cook. the ca8 is the pl of that first ca7... if that makes any sense...

7:54 am

Jera

That's it for me, does anyone need help?

7:57 am

MarqueeMarc

Oh no! I don't have the 1st CA 7! Help!

7:57 am

the first ca7 is a scottish highwayman. feline + 2nd vowel + faster than walk... 8 is usual plural

7:59 am

8:23 am

there are 2 ae's. the first one means to add oxygen to blood or air to water

9:32 am

movieman

Yes, une, I did....

9:32 am

hurshy

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

9:58 am

sprite

The dark and hidden secrets of the unable dictionary :)

9:58 am

hurshy

and one would think one could add another layer of paint
or that if a door-to-door salesman pressed the bell once and no one answered he might have done it again

9:59 am

evanonut

* adds another layer of paint to hursh *

9:59 am

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water

And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after

Up Jack got and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed
To mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper

: D

10:24 am

hurshy

hurshy

oh, wow, babs, i never heard the second stanza

10:25 am

evanonut

sprite!

10:25 am

lola100

*waits hopefully for sprite to share her naughty nursery rhyme* } )

10:26 am

Babbler

omg!

The roots of the story, or poem, of Jack and Jill are in France. Jack and Jill referred to are said to be King Louis XVI - Jack -who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette - Jill - (who came tumbling after). The words and lyrics to the Jack and Jill poem were made more acceptable as a story for children by providing a happy ending! The actual beheadings occurred in during the Reign of Terror in 1793. The first publication date for the lyrics of Jack and Jill rhyme is 1795 - which ties-in with the history and origins. The Jack and Jill poem is also known as Jack and Gill - the mis-spelling of Gill is not uncommon in nursery rhymes as they are usually passed from generation to generation by word of mouth.

10:27 am

lola100

babs, did you know that 'ring-a-rosie' is about the plague?

10:27 am

mab

Thanks artlady. I'm all out of sync today too. Love the lemon chapeau - so becoming. I'm going to read that janet evanovich.

10:27 am

10:27 am

sprite

J&J
went up a hill

Stupid Jill

10:31 am

10:32 am

cliffopa

i think dmv's in low populated areas are all the same. don't have to wait long in NH.

Babbler (and others) does it not seem strange that many nursery rhymes originate from horrible events? if i had known as a child, i would have had serious nightmares.

10:32 am

mab

Thinking of masters in ed at Cark Univ in Worcester.

10:32 am

Babbler

LOL!! found more parodies!

Jack and Jill went up the hill

10:33 am

Babbler

Jack and Jill went up the hill

10:33 am

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and died.
Jill slipped into a deep depression and eventually killed herself.
The End.

10:33 am

10:34 am

Babbler

Jack and Jill
Went up the track
To fetch the pail again:
They went with care,
Got safely there,
And finished the job they began.

10:34 am

Babbler

10:34 am

sprite

Whahahahahahahaaaaaaa!
Brillia nt, especially the last one. You were inspired :)

10:34 am

Babbler

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Both with a buck and a quarter.
Jill came down with two and a half.
Did you think Jack went up for water?

10:34 am

evanonut

hurshy, genius!

10:35 am

lola100

cliff, some of the stories I loved as a child are VERY gory but I only realised how much later. Somehow, a wolf eating 7 kids and then having his stomach slit open while he slept by the mother goat who replaced her kids with stones didn't make me think twice when I was 6! : D

10:35 am

Babbler

oooh!! very rude!

ack and Jill
Went up the hill
Smoking marijuana.
Jack got high
And unzipped his fly
And asked Jill, "Do you wanna?"
Jill said, "yes"
And dropped her dress
And said "let's have some fun."
But stupid Jill forgot her pill
And now they have a son.

10:35 am

hurshy

*bows*

10:35 am

sprite

Rude but funny ;)

10:35 am

evanonut

10:36 am

cliffopa

babbler and hurshy, i am laughing so hard my stomach hurts. i'm reading out loud to the other adults in the house, they are cracking up as well!

10:37 am

Babbler

cliffopa - last one:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch water from a well
But when neither one could find it
Jill started to yell.
No well, no well
Can't believe there's no well!
We walked all the way here
And I'm mad, can't you tell.

10:37 am

sprite

I think the babble version must go on the Babble pages somewhere!

10:38 am

Babbler

10:40 am

AshtangaGal

any clue for the ae6?

10:41 am

Jacula

Babbler - What's your icon? It looks like an upside-down, golden chastity belt from here!

10:41 am

Babbler

this one, Sprite - (I saved it)

We meet as strangers, each of us carrying a secret. I can't say who you are; I might never get to know you completely.
But I trust you are a person in your own right, filled with a beauty and a worth that are the richest resources on earth.

Therefore I promise you this: I will not lay identities on you, but I will invite you to become yourself, without shame or fear. I will defend your right to find an authentic calling. For as long as your quest continues, you have my loyalty.

Theodore Roszak"

10:42 am

Babbler

1:29 pm

hurshy

1:30 pm

LeslieAnn

hursh, if i had one of those letters done i would help, but just finishing off the a's myself!

1:30 pm

artlady

Cliff, this is quite productive! (altho my husband doesn't think so...)

1:31 pm

cliffopa

1:45 pm

Babbler

'course, Musicmom!! 22 April?

1:45 pm

musicmom

Thanks Stid. I've been missing everyone. This past week was CRAZY!!!! I was supposed to have a home show for my business today but noone showed up. On the one hand it is bad for business, but on the other hand I don't mind having some down time.

1:50 pm

LeslieAnn

thedave

Why isn't 'rezeroing' a word?

1:53 pm

cdn_in_va

how many words today?

1:54 pm

LeslieAnn

190 words today

1:54 pm

mab

probably for the same reason that redrew is a word, dave.

199 words.

1:55 pm

thedave

redrew IS a word?

1:55 pm

mab

190, sorry. See Angelsong's Babble Page link at right for more details.

1:56 pm

evanonut

had one waltz through the field last year, hubby nut yelled out 'hey bear', it just looked over its shoulder and kept on walking.

1:56 pm

LeslieAnn

i think that was in yesterday's puzzle. along with undrew, which someone deftly pointed out is when you fire ms. barrymore from a movie

1:56 pm

mab

Actually, dave, it was 'undrew,' yesterday.

1:56 pm

hurshy

you mean undrew, mab, lol

1:57 pm

thedave

The Babble Rules even list "volt" and "revolt" as legit

1:58 pm

artlady

clue for the last or 5/10? I'm resorting to monkey typing, so it's probably really obvious...

1:58 pm

evanonut

don't see the problem there.

1:58 pm

artlady

volt and revolt are both legit...

1:58 pm

mab

revolt=to rise up and fight or resist.

1:58 pm

thedave

so why not rezero?

1:59 pm

evanonut

i thing that definition is slang dave

1:59 pm

FMitch

Thanks for the word but can you not post grid words in the log please.

2:00 pm

thedave

zero is a verb...I used to be a science teacher and would rezero the balances every hour.

2:00 pm

mab

The Enable dictionary's logic is hard to divine, dave.

2:00 pm

artlady

Oh mab, I love your lemons!!

2:01 pm

thedave

ok...sorry if I've said too much

2:01 pm

artlady

Dave, it wasn't a word in the grid anyway, so you're ok. I mean, it was there, but not valid.

2:01 pm

zion

ae 6/ 18 pls ?

2:01 pm

LeslieAnn

artlady... just got it... or + first two letters of opposite of day + plural letter

2:01 pm

artlady

Oops, my mistake...pardon me! Duh...

2:02 pm

mab

Not at all, dave -- this is the chat log after all.

Thanks artlady. I thought I would see lots of edsels today.

2:02 pm

artlady

LeslieAnn, thanks. I swear I typed that!!

2:03 pm

FMitch

The z4 and 7 are in the grid tho.

2:04 pm

zion

LeslieAnn

oh never mind my computer lied to me. no z8

2:05 pm

mab

Yay zion!

Hi FMitch. mmm....it's lemons. Lemons, FMitch, not lemmings. Never mind. (I love it)

2:06 pm

FMitch

LOL mab, glad you got it!!

2:07 pm

artlady

2:08 pm

zion

yooo mab

2:08 pm

musicmom

Sorry guys. Dropped out for a bit. had to google dimensions of a basketball court so Sarah can mark the free throw line in the back yard. The things we do for our children! Can't she see I'm babbling on the porch?

2:10 pm

FMitch

2:12 pm

musicmom

Hurshy I was trying to be you today. But I give - I'm going to the list. I don't like not knowing what I'm looking for.

2:12 pm

stidmama

an 4: like a spice related to licorice... or the dill plant; an + verb "to be" third person sing

2:12 pm

Jen

Afternoon all! How's the puzzle today? Should I try it or just stick with scrapbooking for the day? :)

2:13 pm

2:13 pm

stidmama

hi Jen! 190 words, some pretty obscure...

2:13 pm

musicmom

I don't think it is too bad Jen

2:14 pm

FMitch

Hi Jen,
I would say, stick with scrapbooking. I've stopped at 123 and won't finish this one (lost interest).

2:14 pm

Tigereye

Hey all :) I'm back to finish the grid

2:14 pm

Haz1558

Good evening, all.

hi Haz -- how far did you get earlier? I just got back on, at 75 words now...

2:15 pm

Jen

Hmmm, I'm torn... but I'll probably stick with the scrapbooking today. I am stuck in 2004 and I need to completely catch up before I hopefully start work in July.

2004 Jen! I hope 2005 wasn't too, too eventful. What a great idea, by the way - a scrapbook for every year.

2:18 pm

zion

thnxsss stid and momm a cheeky clue ( bumm lool)i got it

2:18 pm

musicmom

Scrapbooking is one craft I have never explored. I am afraid it will become another obsession like quilting. I don't have time for that.

2:19 pm

artlady

Jen, good for you. Better than leaving all your photos in a box...for years...until you forget what they're of...Oh, that's me...

2:19 pm

mab

Me too, arty.

2:19 pm

musicmom

3:11 pm

evanonut

A midget in Texas went to the doctor because his testicles ached almost
all of the time. The doctor told him to stand on the examining table
and drop his pants. The doc put one finger under the midget's left
testicle and told him to turn his head and cough - the usual method to
check for a hernia.
"Hmmm..", mumbled the doc as he put his finger under the right
testicle, he asked the midget to cough again, "Hmmm, I see the
problem,"
said the doctor and reached for his surgical scissors.

3:12 pm

Angelsong

the last re5/10?

3:12 pm

evanonut

Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip on the right side, then snip,
snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, on the left side.
The midget was so scared he was afraid to look, but noted with
amazement that the snipping did not hurt. The doctor then told the
midget to hop down off the table, pull his pants up, and then walk
around and see if his testicles still ached.
The midget was absolutely delighted as he walked around the doc's>
office and discovered his testicles were no longer aching.
The midget said, "That's perfect Doc, and I didn't even feel it! What
did you do?"
The Doctor replied, "I cut two inches off the top of your cowboy boots."

3:44 pm

evanonut

3:44 pm

cybernan

We don't have library service where we live, so haunt the used bookstore instead!

3:45 pm

hurshy

:O no library?

3:45 pm

evanonut

go to halfprice and get it for cheap cyber.

3:45 pm

chic

Why, yes, I did! My favorite book in the series...Care to guess which one?

3:46 pm

evanonut

high five? i love that one.

3:46 pm

cybernan

Kelowna has a library, but we live outside the city limits so it would cost us $180/year to join.

3:46 pm

evanonut

3:47 pm

amyc

I have na+4th vowel +plural letter

what the heck am I missing? pls

3:47 pm

chic

Four to score- as things really heat up in that one....

3:48 pm

cybernan

190 words -- go to angelsongs stats page for run down.

3:48 pm

evanonut

ahhhhh, dontcha love the innuendo of the titles

3:49 pm

hurshy

the lincoln-esque innuendo?
four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

3:49 pm

cybernan

pbr -- the na 4 you want comes before the two with all the vowels -- think of me pluralized.

3:49 pm

chic

Yeah, that's why I was saying she never explained 11 on top.... Have to read it again, I guess. I see that 12 doen't come out until June 30th...

3:50 pm

cybernan

ooooh -- that is a scary thought!

3:51 pm

evanonut

all the titles for those that don't know evanovich:
- one for the money
-two for the dough
- three to get deadly
- four to score
- high five
- hot six
- seven up
- hard eight
- to the nines
- ten big ones
- eleven on top
- hey, where'e my twelve go!

3:52 pm

evanonut

hint: that last one isn't real

3:52 pm

cybernan

Must get back to my sewing -- spring is arriving and my skinniest granddaughter need some clothes! -- back at the flip :)

3:52 pm

hurshy

maybe it'll be twelfth nightshade

3:53 pm

evanonut

the twelve days of ranger

3:53 pm

hurshy

you mean danger?

3:54 pm

evanonut

no, i want twelve days of ranger.

3:54 pm

hurshy

oh, ok

3:55 pm

pbr

cybernan -- thanks for the hidden clue -- gosh, why is it the simple ones that get me -- moving on 82 more to go

3:55 pm

Vicuna

Dirty Dozen?

3:56 pm

hurshy

but don't you think twelfth nightshade would be... elegant?

3:56 pm

evanonut

hursh, there's nothing elegant about stephanie.

3:57 pm

Vicuna

My cat's name is Nightshade. But elegant she is not.

3:57 pm

hurshy

dirty dozen is certainly more accessible, though, and more in keeping with the other titles

3:57 pm

musicmom

Okay. So people showed up to my party 2 hours late. I'm going to have to play later:-)

3:57 pm

evanonut

certainly not, hot six was not called hot half dozen

3:58 pm

chic

actually it's called Twelve Sharp; went to evanovich.com

3:58 pm

evanonut

* winks at chic *, thanks babe, couldn't remember it.

4:05 pm

4:06 pm

Haz1558

ga5 - French for gathered - used with bouquet ***** as a collection of herbs

4:07 pm

KatieMcG

4:07 pm

Sherylr1961

chic

4:09 pm

evanonut

hubbynut doesn't read unless he has to, so no.

4:12 pm

evanonut

i imagine it would make excellent dinner conversation though. "darling, i have something to tell you" - "yes sweetums" - i have a recurring fantasy of a character in a book i read" - "that's nice dear, pass the pork"

4:12 pm

chic

My hubby thinks I'm crazy when those books make me laugh hysterically outloud....

No fever, just insane. Bees have terribly complex social patterns. And honey is so wonderful. Then there are flowers, the rural setting, etc. I think it would be awfully interesting, beekeeping.

Hi Snowy.

4:46 pm

Hi Jen!

4:46 pm

mab

I'm late middle aged, let's say.

4:47 pm

mab

Ok ok 50

4:48 pm

snowyowl

mab -thats not late middle age!!!!!!!!!!! Thats only 10 years after life began! I know - I'm older than you!LOL

4:49 pm

mab

I'm surprised snowy. I didn't think there were many here in my age arena.

4:49 pm

zion

<<<<<<38 and still growing lool

4:50 pm

hurshy

there are several grandmas who babble...

4:50 pm

chic

mab, 50 is the new 40!

4:50 pm

snowyowl

I think there are quite a few mab. I'm 52 this year and CATHB too -she's 8 days older than me.

4:51 pm

mab

oh, well then. that's a great age. not old, not young, juuuust right.

4:52 pm

Tigereye

I guess that makes me a baby at 18 then?

4:52 pm

mo

and i am 65 next month....where have all the years gone!!!!

4:52 pm

chic

you are only as old as you think you are! I'm older than you guys but I don't know it!

4:52 pm

mab

I love that, chic! It's somehow comforting to know that others are around one's own age, even though age doesn't matter that much here.

4:53 pm

zion

in4 pls ? not the one with 2 init

4:53 pm

snowyowl

Well I'm just about growing into it. 50 was a bit scary - but then my husband will be 59 next week & is dreading 60! But I think any age is young now if thats how you feel!

4:54 pm

chic

Oh you can tell when some people remember Buster Crabbe series and Howdy Doody show etc...lol....

4:54 pm

snowyowl

My next door neighbour who has a mother of 90 who had her 1st cigarette last summer! She's fantastic for her age & great fun!

4:55 pm

mab

Get out mo! I am very surprised, even though I don't know how I would have any idea how old anyone is, given that this is cyberspace.

Yes, tigereye, virtually an infant. Although, again, I wouldn't have guessed.

4:55 pm

Jen

50ish is definitely NOT middle age... more like late youth! (and as I am coming up on 34, I firmly feel that way) :)

4:56 pm

hurshy

hey did anyone see that episode of andy griffith where barney did something stupid and the criminal almost got away? (tee hee)

4:56 pm

mab

hurshy, I know that you are quite young, relatively, but you have an old soul. Definitely.

4:57 pm

hurshy

and isn't wally cleaver DREAMY!!!!

4:57 pm

snowyowl

Babble is obviously a game that unites all age groups -just how it should be

4:57 pm

hurshy

sshhh, mab, i'm trying to fit in, this is my version of a fake ID

4:59 pm

dont feel that age mentally though.... i still see people probably my age or younger, and think they are a generation older than me...if that makes sense

5:00 pm

5:01 pm

mo

mab when you get to this age they deffinately do not go slow!!!

5:01 pm

snowyowl

Know just what you mean Mo -I have a neighbour who is 10 years older than me. 25 years ago she was really 'old' in her looks and her ways but she's sort of grown into her looks & now hasn't seemed to age at all

5:01 pm

chic

yep, mo, and there's a river in Egypt called 'de Nile'

5:01 pm

hurshy

i feel precisely 52.634

5:02 pm

Tigereye

Hurshy, I've never seen the show so i have no idea who he is

5:02 pm

mab

Wally, funnily enough, looks exactly the same now. I never had a crush on him. In fact, the entire family made me a little sick. Beaver was such a blockhead. And can you imagine being married to Ward?

I liked the Donna Reed show. More realistic.

5:02 pm

My best friend started acting matronly when she was about 25! Talk about a blast to go out with when we were both still childless, hubbys away on deployment, and had great places to go out in SPain.

5:04 pm

hurshy

i guess i like how mama cleaver is always so sympathetic and thinks ward is too hard on the boys... my mom was not like that...

5:04 pm

Can you imagine them in bed together? Forget about it. shudder.

didn't everybody have twin beds back in the fifties? at least on tv....

5:06 pm

2) found dead deers leg several yards away
3) followed a deer trail
4) though she followed deer trail back, got lost
etc.

5:11 pm

mab

Last comment on this topic: Donna Reed and her husband were definitely having sex on the Donna Reed Show. I wouldn't let Ward touch me ever ever ever.

5:12 pm

Jen

Hah mab! Half the guys in the squadron were like that! We always had a rule, if the guy was fun to be with (cool, easy-going), then the wife was a prude, and then vice-versa. We never seemed to find a couple that was fun.

5:12 pm

hurshy

what exactly is so awful about ward? i don't find him particularly attractive, but not particularly repulsive either.

5:12 pm

Jen

evanonut, I wasn't talking about sex!!!

5:14 pm

mab

Can't really say on Ward, I just get powerfully bad vibes on him. yech.

5:14 pm

evanonut

more's the pity jen.

5:23 pm

5:26 pm

evanonut

ca 8/45 - pl. of 7/32 above. ca 4/5 + faster than walked

5:45 pm

mab

stonington: indian princess= not walked but ra3 plus personal pronoun (a vowel). It can be plural. For alternate spelling, try phonetic.

5:46 pm

ca7/32: it is the person who does ca5/12

ca5/12: when you go to a party, and the food is prepared by a company, the party is ca***ed

6:04 pm

musicmom

Thanks Vic. I didn't see that before.

6:04 pm

periwinkle

musicmom-the ca7 I have builds on the ca5/12- to provide food for an event - add an ending and then pluralize

6:04 pm

So, doesn't anybody have the second ca7?

Hi smaller. i'm about to head out. Probably about 10 more minutes. I'm exhausted tonight.

9:28 pm

Hey MM- busy weekend?!! Sleep is oh so superduper important. I'm going to try to get a lot tonight. I"M GIVING UP COFFEE TOMORROW!!! yikes!!

9:28 pm

musicmom

You want to get a Mollard baton. It would be best to get your director an empty case and a gift certificate. Mollard makes balanced batons (wonderful to use) but it is best for the user to try them out. Kind of like wizard wands in Harry Potter<G>

9:29 pm

gwenski

Thanks, MM. I'll look into that brand.

9:29 pm

musicmom

Oh no 0- giving up coffee. YIKES!! I love coffee.

I had a busy week. My boss got grounded at the airport in Austin and I had to sub two of her classes we had a busy girl scout weekend and I had to do a home show today. Oh and we sat through two charity basketball games last night.

9:30 pm

musicmom

gwenski - you're welcome

9:56 pm

shorty

lol smaller

9:57 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Glad to have you on the grid on a Sunday. So, how are things going with you and your church? OK?

9:57 pm

Eva

Good evening everyone!

Been lurking silently, plodding away, and have 6 left to find. Can anyone help me with:

ar5
na4/4 (not the temple, or the one that sounds like chaos)
oc6/21
to7/44
to5/14 (the second one)

I'll have to go back to BJ's list to find the other's I'm missing but these would be a big help!

9:58 pm

gwenski

ar5: latin plural of ar4/4

9:59 pm

kristinc

JoJo...good. We just finished an extensive outside rennovation, new sod, new sprinklers, new look. It is a 75 year old building and this update was long overdue. People are really excited now which is always great and makes us excited too! Thanks for asking.

9:59 pm

stidmama

Eva -- ar 5 #1: like the latin plural of the at 4/4
ar 5 #2: a place to play sports, means "sand" in the original language

9:59 pm

stidmama

na 4/4: more than one girl named Na*** Drew

10:00 pm

stidmama

to 7/44: gerund of to 4/6

10:00 pm

Eva

thanks gwenski & stidmama! It was the latin plural i was missing

10:00 pm

stidmama

to 5/14 #2: plural of to 4/6

10:00 pm

gwenski

oc 6/21 looks like latin plural of oc5

10:01 pm

stidmama

oc 6/21: if you have oc 5, add the second vowel to the end...

10:02 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: In this day an age, when I see the new houses going up in our area, I just cringe. Our house was built in '62, and it is a tough house. I wouldn't trade it for any new one ever. The older the better. The older ones were built to sustain earthquakes, and have copper piping, not plastic.

10:03 pm

Eva

stid-thanks so much! Rolling along here. Didn't know that one could make a verb out of the to.. now I do. But the to5/14 I need is the second one. I already have the plural of the pinchy thing.

10:03 pm

kristinc

JoJo-yes, our house was built the same year as the church (in the 30s) We're in a very historic neighborhood so people are pleased to see us keep up both the house and the church instead of tear it all down.

10:04 pm

stidmama

alphabetically, then you need the first to 5/14: spelled like a place; add a vowel to the end of the to 4

10:05 pm

kristinc

JoJo...what have you been up to?

10:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! back to finish

10:05 pm

gwenski

I need to get to bed, but it sure would be nice to get both 9's first, considering I won't be able to finish tonight. Any kind soul wish to help?

10:06 pm

stidmama

hi TempleOwl! I am sitting here, ignoring my parental responsibilities...

10:06 pm

Eva

okay-just missing 2 now. The second to5/14 and an unknown r. I hate r's. More than liver. More than brussel sprouts. More than anchovies (oh maybe not). But a lot!!!
Back to the r lists.

10:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i could use a clue for the az please...

10:07 pm

kristinc

re9- re+ea 7/36 (to make a living)

10:07 pm

AshtangaGal

clue for the in8 by any chance?

10:07 pm

stidmama

gwenski, the 9's;

re 9: to make money again (re 6/18) + gerund end
ca 9: ca 6/21 (a box) + gerund end

10:07 pm

kristinc

hi TO! missing that one too, maybe someone will take pity on us ;)

10:07 pm

harpjane

ro6/24 and the 5/10 before it?

10:08 pm

stidmama

az: maga****

10:09 pm

stidmama

in 8 doesn't exist... which one do you need?

10:09 pm

stidmama

ro 5/10: what a fiddler uses on the strings before playing
ro 6/24: make the ro 5 a gerund

10:10 pm

AshtangaGal

sorry
in7...

10:10 pm

gwenski

Thanks stid! Got 'em. (Although I really need to go to bed, cuz I still can't see how you can get the re9 in the puzzle!) Good night, all.

10:10 pm

stidmama

in 7: a person who does not appreciate a gift

10:10 pm

AshtangaGal

in 7/28 i am missing. sorry, i'll be even more clear.

10:11 pm

kristinc

goodnite Gwenski...well done!

10:11 pm

AshtangaGal

thanks stid, but i had that one...there is another one?

10:11 pm

Eva

re7/28 anyone?

10:11 pm

stidmama

okay, the other in 7/28: "free" workers who are from a college, plural of the previous

10:11 pm

stidmama

'night gwenski

10:12 pm

AshtangaGal

BRILLIANT! thanks, stid!!

10:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: I think I said this before, don't know if you were on or not, but got back from the M's spring training. Yes, we have also upgraded our house as you have done. Have a hot tub, and a sauna in an out building. But, unfortunately we will have to sell it within the next year or two. The property tax in KC is horrid for us retired people. It will be hard for me to do so, since I raised my babies here. What have you been up to?

10:12 pm

stidmama

re 7/28: make re 6/18 #2 a plural

10:13 pm

stidmama

yw :-)

10:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks stidmama : )

10:15 pm

kristinc

JoJo...our upgrades were on the church (I reread what I wrote, wasn't clear) our house is owned by the church and they did a wonderful remodel before we moved in in '04. Congrats on all your house work. Agreed, we couldn't afford to live in KC if housing wasn't provided.
We're getting ready to go Mexico on Wednesday for our last baby-free vacation. Lots to do before we leave but we're very excited.

10:15 pm

Eva

Thank you so,so much stid. "You havae zero words left to find" It's been quite a while since I had the patience to get to the end. Weather's been too good, but that's coming to an end tomorrow. All those poor flowers which have been pushing their heads up will get blasted. Rain tomorrow and then snow the day after. Maybe quite a bit of it.

10:15 pm

stoningtoncat

stid- i don't get it=ro 6/24: make the ro 5 a gerund

10:15 pm

stidmama

YAY Eva! good for you!

10:15 pm

rycaut

hints on the in's? I have a few but am missing most

10:15 pm

Eva

Lots of beautiful cats around.

10:16 pm

kristinc

stoning-add a 3 point letter to the end

10:16 pm

stidmama

stoningtoncat; gerunds end in -ing

10:16 pm

kristinc

Hooray eva!
Do tell, about the beautiful cats! :)

10:16 pm

Eva

you'd be surprised by the things you can add an ing to(-: Don't make any assumptions. Try them all.

10:17 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Last baby??? Are you adopting a baby from Mexico? Where are you going in Mexico? We have a condo in Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan? Where are you going. I envy you going to Mexico this time of year.

10:17 pm

Eva

Mine is named Merp and is lying next to me snoring. Who is your beauty?

10:17 pm

stidmama

Eva, isn't it a bit late for snow even in Vermont? Your poor flowers...

10:19 pm

kristinc

No, another vaguely typed phrase. I'm pregnant so we're taking our last trip as a family of 2. Outside Cabo San Lucas (San Jose del Cabo)

10:19 pm

Eva

Unfortunately it's not that unusual. At least the trees haven't leafed out yet. Those are the really destructive storms. It may not be that bad right where I am...but they never know. I've been luxuriating in not loading the stoves up, but will probably have to start again. yes, poor flowers. But the usually survive.

10:20 pm

kristinc

Eva...this is Alsan, he also has a sister with long black hair and together they keep us very busy-almost 2 years old

10:20 pm

rebekb

hi all -- really stuck on the or5/10 -- any clues?

10:20 pm

raeanha

hi mom!!! How DARE you do t his to me!!!

10:20 pm

rycaut

10:20 pm

stidmama

10:21 pm

mklein

Sorrry... but you have to admit it's crazy fun!

10:21 pm

stoningtoncat

THKS STID AND EVA

10:21 pm

stidmama

in 7/28: the people who work for free in offices and on Letterman's show... plural of in 6/18 #2

10:22 pm

kristinc

Stid-awesome or5 clue...ty!

10:22 pm

stidmama

(grin) I monkey-typed that one today!

10:22 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Ok, got it now. When is your baby due? So, you are going to Cabo. Went there on an exchange with our time share back in 2001. Hold on to your pocketbook, things are very expensive there. Not like Mazatlan and PV. A tank top there at Cabo was $30. I told the sales person that I could get the same tank at the Bon (now Macy's) for $9.99. So, barter with them, that is their culture, don't take their first price they offer.

10:23 pm

rebekb

TY Stidmama, couldn't find that anywhere

10:23 pm

Eva

kristin-alsan looks very self-satisfied. Like he knows he's got it made.

10:23 pm

stoningtoncat

my mom's name is Eva and she was born in West Pawlet, VT

10:23 pm

kristinc

JoJo-the baby is due the first of August. We're not big shoppers so no worries but I'll consider myself warned :)

10:24 pm

kristinc

Eva-you are spot on! :)

10:24 pm

rycaut

just have the in 5/10 and in6/18 to go... thanks everyone!

10:24 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Have a wonderful time. When are U leaving?

10:25 pm

rycaut

got them - that was kinda stupid... :)

10:25 pm

stoningtoncat

help w ca 9/72

10:25 pm

Eva

stoning-there's not too many of us Eva's around, despite the fact that there are 3 on the babble list (although at least one of them isn't really an eva). It is a more old fashioned name, and was more common in Europe, which is where my parents came from. I only moved to Vermont about a year and a half ago, from Massachusetts. Where is West Pawlet?

10:26 pm

stidmama

ca 9: to put things in boxes; ca 6/21 just before + gerund ending

10:26 pm

rycaut

add action to a ca 6/21

10:26 pm

kristinc

Wednesday...very early and back the following Wed night, just in time for Easter and all that busyness!

10:26 pm

Eva

stoning- for that ca9 think of packing things into boxes.

10:26 pm

stoningtoncat

about half an hr. from Manchester

10:27 pm

kristinc

any thoughts on the first ra 5/10-fish anyone?

10:28 pm

Eva

We're about 15 minutes from Montpelier. In the heavenly realm. Also the blackfly capitol of vermont.

10:28 pm

rebekb

Hey Eva -- another new englander here -- I'm in Norwood MA (south of Boston)

10:28 pm

stidmama

ra 5/10: what a person might call the weather when it precipitates... mispelled (of course)

10:29 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Have a great time. When the baby comes, there will definitely NOT be time for Mexico, until they are older. Be sure to pack sunscreen. I didn't use to. I love the sun, but have had 2 cases of precursor to skin cancer. I Pack it now tho.

10:29 pm

Eva

ra5/10-think of an alternate spelling for the Indian prince-different ending, but sounds the same

10:29 pm

stidmama

ra 5/10: you could also think of it as ra + what you put before a married woman's maiden name

10:29 pm

stoningtoncat

i'm near Mystic CT

10:30 pm

Eva

rebek-moved here after 15 years in Jamaica Plain and another 15 in the hills of Western Massachusetts.

10:32 pm

raeanha

so, mom.. how's this one gone?

10:33 pm

Eva

Yup, JP got very chic. But I've always been much happier living in the boonies. Cities are just too much bustle and too little community and nature for me. Grew up in Manhattan and always thought I must have been switched in the hospital nursery and some lucky baby got to get out of the city(-:

10:33 pm

Eva

raenha-who's your mom?

10:33 pm

stoningtoncat

got distracted still thinking about ca- pack in boxes??

10:34 pm

rebekb

That's funny, I'm the opposite. When I visit my parents in Michigan -- in the middle of farmland, I can't wait to get back to concrete!

10:34 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Kristinc: Ra** (like the going _ _ _ _, and an r for your ra5/10, don't know if it is the first one or not, but try.
