I have relatives in the Kirkland area and your state is so green and so beautiful. We are such a congested area that we have great flood control .

12:29 am

stidmama

yes, although I was born in Los Angeles county, I only lived there the first 6 months. I really love western washington... and though I enjoyed my visits to my grandparents, it's usually too dry for me!

You're welcome.

4:39 am

Atalante

does anyone else keep wanting to have sentient?

4:39 am

Haz1558

Just you, Atalante, just you. Good morning!

4:40 am

Atalante

morning! but I'll bet you'll see it all the time now!!!

4:40 am

Haz1558

Yes - I'm doomed.....

4:41 am

Atalante

sory :)

4:41 am

Atalante

sorry - even!

4:42 am

Atalante

don't I just sound sooooo sorry *grin*

4:46 am

Haz1558

Sorry - was called away momentarily. Yes, I can just feel the regret oozing from you.

4:46 am

Atalante

and what did we do to deserve INs and REs in the same puzzle!

4:48 am

Haz1558

Well, I don't know - I have been a model citizen but who knows what others have been up to?

4:49 am

Atalante

something Very Bad, I think

4:50 am

Atalante

oooh there's a word very like the one I was complaining about not being in the grid earlier. different beginning

4:51 am

Haz1558

The good thing about having re and in in the same grid is that you can make a word out of them!

4:51 am

Atalante

1 down, 206 to go :P

4:52 am

caloli

I'm up to in7/28 ... amazingly I got all of the other in's

4:53 am

Haz1558

Keep going - there are two in7/28

4:53 am

caloli

darnit, I thought I was nearly done with in.

4:55 am

Atalante

this is strange - the 4 letter fluffy valentine's day word - I can't rememebr the last time we had that! You'd think it would be fairly common in grids

4:55 am

Haz1558

AND look at the other lo4 - goes with it beautifully

4:56 am

Atalante

OH! true! hadn't noticed that!

5:00 am

Atalante

LOL my silly cat - am sitting here with VH1 on TV in the background. Cat has stayed quite happily asleep through everything until they played Bjork. Then she immediately glared at the TV and stalked out of the room

5:02 am

caloli

gah, got the last in ... the one which ends in e. Didn't know that was a word!

5:02 am

Haz1558

A discerning cat. I never could get her music (not that I tried) but I concluded that anyone who could try to wear a swan dress didn't deserve to be understood.

5:02 am

Atalante

I agree. She is a kitten of great taste at an early age

5:06 am

caloli

duh they both end in e. I'm going to get some sleep - I've got a cold and obviously my grey matter needs a rest. Goodnight.

5:06 am

Haz1558

Goodnight, caloli - I hope you feel better soon.

5:14 am

Haz1558

Okay, if my family are to eat this week, I'll need to get myself off to town. It's cold and wet and I hate grocery shopping. I'll be back later. Happy hunting!

Atalante

I'll try and help if I can ...

5:56 am

sha

any clues for the 2nd he-4-5

5:57 am

amandacath

ummm - the other day I managed to shove my floating QuickNote off the side of my monitor and I can't seem to get it back. Any ideas?

5:58 am

Atalante

no idea, sorry :( I don't use Quicknote ...

6:00 am

amandacath

Maybe AngelSong will tune in soon - I got the QuickNote idea from her...

There's an he4/5 that is a character's name on Battlestar Galactica...?

Morning/afternoon all
Quite nice grid today so far.

6:06 am

amandacath

Hi Mitch!

6:06 am

FMitch

Hey amanda, how's it going?

6:07 am

cliffopa

hi mitch.

6:09 am

amandacath

Pretty well, thanks! I've had to cut back on my Babble-chatting to make myself get some work done, but it's Saturday! Nice grid for a weekend morning (well, early afternoon)!

6:10 am

FMitch

I was trying to do the same last week amanda, but it is hard not to pop in and say hello, and then you get sucked in. Babble has a way of blurring time!!! LOL

6:11 am

Douglas

Wasn't Oin one of the dwarves in The Hobbit?

6:11 am

Uneaixoise

today's theme is shoes! :-)

6:11 am

amandacath

That's why I haven't even said hello all week - knew if I started I wouldn't get out. So I just lurked

6:12 am

amandacath

Yes he was Douglas - why?

6:13 am

Douglas

I just got here, and what do I see staring me in the face? Oin!

6:14 am

amandacath

Ah, I see. Could be worse!

6:14 am

Douglas

el 4/5...whatever

6:15 am

Douglas

If I recall correctly, he had a brother named Gloin

6:15 am

amandacath

...who's not in the grid. And I don't think any of the rest of them are either, although I haven't tried...

6:16 am

FMitch

Right again Douglas, I may have to dust off my copy and read again.

6:18 am

Douglas

just found a fishing net...

6:19 am

FMitch

"faints" just had a peek at the list and there are approx 32 re's, I was feeling so positive about the grid having passed the 1/2 way mark boo hoo!

6:19 am

Douglas

I want noir to be in the grid

6:20 am

cliffopa

i hate re's.

6:20 am

Douglas

jove is in the grid, as in "By jove!"

6:21 am

FMitch

I think most of us do cliff - they can be so tricky to find.

6:21 am

Atalante

"By Jove" Capital letter

6:21 am

Douglas

pretend isn't in the grid, but I want it to be...

6:22 am

Atalante

just pretend its there then

6:22 am

FMitch

Hi Atalante
Meant to ask yesterday, are you going to post yr undine pic on yr web as I would love to have a look at a bigger version, the icon is so small.

6:23 am

Douglas

I just learned a new word, with a Scandinavian origin, uff da!

6:24 am

amandacath

let us in on it, Douglas!

6:24 am

Atalante

I wish it was mine!!!!!! Its by Waterhouse, an artist whom I simply adore. A bigger version is here: http://www.johnwilliamwaterhou se.com/images/content/waterhou se/hi/150.jpg

6:25 am

Douglas

It's one of the words in the grid that I've never seen before...I was bluffing, seeing if it would take a Spanish number, only to be told it was a type of whale!

6:25 am

FMitch

I bet you could do a wonderful interpretation of it in your own wonderful style.

6:26 am

Atalante

it is - one of the smaller baleen whales

6:26 am

Atalante

*adds to the list* :)

6:26 am

amandacath

What's the whale start with?

6:27 am

Douglas

I put a picture of an inia up at Crossword Bebop yesterday, that was in yesterday's Babble...

6:27 am

Atalante

Did you see the latest effort? It severely hampered my Babble efforts a few days ago! http://www.deviantart.com/devi ation/31424463/

6:28 am

Atalante

S, amanda. and its plural whales

6:28 am

Douglas

I couldn't resist when I saw the words "hairy snout"

6:29 am

amandacath

Ah, that one - had it already. That's one on my list of "no idea what it means but babble always takes it" - thought it had something to do with earthquakes!

6:30 am

Eva

Good morning everyone.

6:31 am

Atalante

morning Eva

6:31 am

cliffopa

morning eva :)

6:31 am

Atalante

and morning Merp!

6:32 am

Douglas

morning Eva and merp!

6:33 am

Eva

Merp says mrrrrp to you to. Has not yet vomited or bitten or pulled over any plants this morning. Being suspiciously patient. Wonder what surprises await me downstairs.

6:33 am

Eva

cliffopa-I don't think you can possibly hate re's as much as I do!

6:33 am

Atalante

ahhhh - that slightly uneasy feeling when you just *know* something unpleasant is waiting for you ...

6:34 am

Sherylr1961

Good morning to all

6:34 am

Atalante

how many REs are there?

6:34 am

Eva

And it is mandatory to step in whatever it is with bare feet.

6:34 am

cliffopa

oh? i think i'm right up there with the top re-haters.

6:34 am

Atalante

of course! preferably in the dark for extra effect

6:34 am

Douglas

33 re's

6:35 am

Eva

cliff-is that your cat?

6:35 am

Chessy

Hi all :)
33 re words today :/

6:35 am

FMitch

there are..... 32 re's!
Love the pic Atalante,
Hi eva and Merp,
Gotta run BBL got work to do.

6:35 am

Atalante

urf. 9 to go then

6:35 am

Eva

hi Chessy. Haven't seen you and your beautiful globe thistle in a long time.

6:36 am

Douglas

Good morning sheryl! The Manolo would love the shoes. They are super-fantastic!

6:36 am

cliffopa

it was one of my mom's. his name was "Mr. Cat"
but i've changed over to today's theme of shoes.
refresh.

6:36 am

Eva

What a gorgeous cat. Looks like an ocelot.

6:37 am

Uneaixoise

cool shoes, cliffopa!

6:37 am

Chessy

Hi Eva :) It's a photo of a sea holly I took - love its blue flowers ...

6:37 am

Eva

Think I'll stay with the cats. Don't really have a thing for shoes. Is there a specific scientific term for shoe fetishism?

6:38 am

cliffopa

eva - Mr. Cat's fur was very odd. felt like a wild animals, coarse. we used to wonder if he had something wild in his lineage.

6:38 am

Atalante

3 re's to go

6:38 am

Eva

Never heard of a sea holly before. It looks just like a globe thistle. Is it a water plant?

6:39 am

Chessy

Eva - also known as eryngium - not a water plant, but does look like a thistle ...

6:43 am

Douglas

Oh, wait...I'm receiving a message from Karl on my implant chip...

6:43 am

Douglas

that sea holly is pretty cool...

6:44 am

Chessy

thanx Douglas :)

6:44 am

Atalante

REs done. Phew!

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

wow . . . kudos, atalante

6:46 am

Eva

86 left to go and gotten very sluggish. Off to feed Merp and take a walk. Not very inviting out there this morning. Back on with the hat, mittens, boots, scarf. But I've never seen as many robins as this year. Flocks of 20-30 all in one place. Can't wait for the peepers to start up.

6:46 am

cliffopa

yay atlante!!!

6:47 am

Atalante

now just to rest to go LOL! *groans*

6:47 am

Uneaixoise

eva, re the robins, don't you think they get bigger and fatter every year?!

6:47 am

cliffopa

the robins have invaded my neighborhood too. about 40-50 in my back yard right now.

6:47 am

Eva

just so I can be thouroughly depressed....how many re's are there Atalante? Don't want to look at the lists yet.

6:47 am

Atalante

32 apparently (though there are rumours of 33). I've heard 32 more though

6:48 am

Atalante

well, I'm hoping there's 32! Haven't looked at the list to confirm

6:48 am

Eva

Groan. only 12 to go then

6:48 am

Atalante

but for once there aren't any weird weird RE words. stupid ones, yes, but nothing utterly out of the ordinary

6:49 am

cliffopa

i don't even have half the re's yet. did i already say i hate re's :(

6:49 am

Eva

Merp looks out at the birds and does that wonderful ack,ack,ack,ack thing they do when the blood lust is just too much to contain.

6:50 am

Atalante

*melts* I love it when they do that!

6:50 am

Eva

speaking of stupid-I think the reresay (wasnt that a word a few weeks ago) really took the cake!

6:51 am

cliffopa

oh eva, i miss that cat chatter. the 2 i have actually do the growly-whine thing. kinda scary.

6:51 am

Eva

Not that we live vicariously through our cats. Heaven forfend!

6:51 am

Atalante

I can never believe resit isn't allowed. Its SO obviously a word

6:52 am

Chessy

hear hear Atalante, I can only assume it's hyphenated ...

6:52 am

Eva

Then there's the middle of the night gutteral, "I've got a dead thing in my mouth" hunting victory cry which lets you know you'd better wake up quick or whatever it is will get consumed on the bed.

6:52 am

Atalante

or dropped on your chin as a present

6:52 am

Douglas

Ah, Atalante is in the anger stage regarding the ENABLE dictionary...

6:53 am

Eva

EWWWWWW! really?

6:53 am

Douglas

You know, this is not making me longingly yearn to own a cat...

6:53 am

cliffopa

i have a big himalayan male who doesn't know how to speak real cat. he says oooooww. trying to teach him the me part, but he's kinda old. 15 now.

6:54 am

Eva

I'm in the denial stage...if I chat about cats for long enough the re's will enter themselves.

6:54 am

Atalante

one of my cats once brought me some rabbit intestines in the middle of the night as a present. I woke up with slimy cold stuff on me

6:54 am

cliffopa

that's a pretty awesome cat if he killed a rabbit.

6:55 am

Chessy

Lol Eva ...let us know if it works!

6:55 am

Atalante

he came off better in a fight with a fox once. says everything! he was a big, vicious ginger tom who turned into a kitten around me

6:56 am

cliffopa

i don't have to deal with dead bodies anymore 'cause my cats don't go out. a coyote ate one of mine 3 years ago so i keep them inside.

6:56 am

Eva

Go for it Douglas!

That's extreme Atalante!

Some breeds have strange vocalization patterns. Siamese are known, of course, for never shutting up, and Maine coons, of which Merp is partially, often have very small meows for their large girth. ooowwww sounds quite nice to me.

6:57 am

Atalante

my kitten - who is still tiny - has the loudest voice ever. she is half burmese, and has certainly inherited her mother's burmese howl

6:57 am

Eva

Merp stays inside too because of the coyotes, but gets the poor things which come into the house. I should hang up a sign in mouse saying "Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here".

6:58 am

cliffopa

the oooooowwww doesn't sound too good in the middle of the night when he (beethoven) is angry that the other (zoey) is sleeping with me. scares the cr** out of me!

6:58 am

Douglas

Would a cat eat a vo 4/7?

6:58 am

Atalante

yes. and then probably throw up, at least some voles are pretty toxic

6:58 am

cliffopa

yes douglas, but probably just the insides.

6:59 am

lola100

*lola wades in through all the cat chat*...Hi guys! : )

6:59 am

amandacath

The other day I managed to shove my floating QuickNote off the side of my screen, and I can't get it back. It happened once before, so I know there's some way, but I can't remember how I did it!

8:01 am

sprite

Wow lola, that was some hug! :D

8:10 am

lola100

8:11 am

Actually I started to worry about myself after finding those two first of all :)

8:12 am

lola100

lol, I started to worry when I found the lo4/7 last! : D

8:13 am

sprite

LOL! You did NOT! :)

8:13 am

lola100

...but the P words do kinda jump out at you, don't they? ; )

8:13 am

lola100

er...not last, first!

8:13 am

sprite

Rising to the occasion maybe?

8:13 am

amandacath

You've got to be kidding - realtor is trademarked but that ne8 isn't?

8:14 am

Sherylr1961

can someone pls give a clue for the po 8 the second one pls

8:14 am

lola100

depends which way you make it sprite ; )

8:15 am

sprite

Well, that would depend on the position, of course!

8:16 am

lola100

Sprite! LOL! : D

8:16 am

amandacath

the po4, 7, 7, 8 all go together - the thing, making it 2x, and the one who makes it - if that makes any sense at all

8:18 am

gem_gem

hi all

8:19 am

lola100

Hi gem : )

8:20 am

gem_gem

hi lola you ok?

8:20 am

8:20 am

Sherylr1961

amanda must have made sense because i got it, lol

8:20 am

lola100

yes thanks, and you? How's the revision going?

8:20 am

gem_gem

8:21 am

sprite

Sure it does!

8:21 am

lola100

of course!...did you use pink hi-lighter though??

8:21 am

gem_gem

yay thats good then jks

8:21 am

evanonut

mmmm, strawberries...

8:22 am

evanonut

200 words left to find, gah

8:23 am

sprite

I am pretty sure I am barking up the wrong Po4 tree, because I can only find one 6/7 "doing it" combo there.

8:27 am

Angelsong

amandacath, I was away changing profiles. how did you open QuickNote?

8:27 am

lola100

is the po4 in that combo the person who writes verse?

8:28 am

sprite

Lol, thanks. No, it was the ruby or tawny one. :) Now I got them, pfui.

8:29 am

amandacath

Ok, I'll try again:
the po4/5 you've got, right?
When he/she goes about his/her business, then he/she po8/45, or they po7/32
When he/she is going about his/her business, then he/she is a po8/45

8:31 am

sprite

So it's 4-7-8-8 and not 7x2?
In that case I got them all, thanks :)

8:31 am

amandacath

Umm, let's see if I can explain it - when it's off the screen and I right click on it in the bottom bar, I get the extensions for something to do with my monitor, then I can "send to" my monitor - and boing, it's back where it's supposed to be

8:32 am

amandacath

Yes Sprite, you're right - I knew I'd make a mistake in there somewhere

8:32 am

lola100

thanks amanda : )

8:33 am

sprite

Thanks! :D

8:33 am

Angelsong

clues for the 9's?

8:34 am

lola100

uugh! these RE's are...revolting!

8:34 am

evanonut

8:34 am

sprite

R9 people who are very sorry
N9 fabrics that keep you warm when wet

8:35 am

Angelsong

'nut, you may be thinking of petrol.

8:35 am

sprite

Should have been called 'petrovol'. Just 'cause.

8:36 am

evanonut

well, no, actually, the hubbynut and i say petro - maybe we just made it up - i dunno.

8:36 am

Iain

8:38 am

jean1953

8:38 am

amandacath

Angel - the suits divers wear are made of the ne8-9 combo

8:38 am

evanonut

funny, but i keep feeling like porn should be in this puzzle, alas, it isn't there.

8:39 am

lola100

angel, sounds like 'Finding Ne**' (pixar film about fish) without the third letter and what a bird does to keep clean : )

8:39 am

lola100

nut, lol! Me too! : D

8:40 am

amandacath

8:40 am

Haz1558

et9/54

8:40 am

sprite

Lola, that's NOT fair! I was even thinking about a beautiful R9 for putting back my favorite Ps...

Angel, start with 'new' and then 'before' and then two more that won't give you any trouble anymore.

8:40 am

evanonut

but porn would be so much more interesting - we should petition dr-g for one dirty word per puzzle.

8:40 am

amandacath

there's an et 8-9 combo that I'm working on

8:41 am

lola100

nut, that's a fab idea! : D

8:42 am

amandacath

Got it - to make something last forever?

8:42 am

sprite

Actually, 'porn' is in the grids quite often :)

8:43 am

9:52 am

Jera

Pretty good... tired from being up half the night with Gwyd & his ear infection... but had a bath with my mint soap & feel quite refreshed!

9:52 am

artlady

I guess if I knew my electrical theory better I'd have known that one... ;-)

9:52 am

periwinkle

artlady, your'e welcome glad to help

9:52 am

artlady

oh 'nut. Cleaning is against everything I stand for.

9:52 am

evanonut

poor gwyd!

9:52 am

Jera

One "in" is to bury, one works in a hospital

9:53 am

artlady

Well, not quite everything. I just hate to take time away from the really important things to clean...like Sudoku (done) and Babble!

9:53 am

hey peri - try in 5/10 - sort of dead

9:53 am

periwinkle

thanks, Jera

9:53 am

Jera

Yeah, he was pretty out of it all day yesterday, too... got some new meds & the doctor is putting him on claritin at night.

9:54 am

evanonut

hmmm, this is a go round where i get all those things that my poor eyes are drawn to - the vent on the oven door, the inside if the fridge handle, the seal around the fridge and the dishwasher - its a q tip kind of day.

9:55 am

Jera

I have never finished a suduko, though I've tried many times... guess I'm not alone, though!

9:55 am

evanonut

whats the sudoku level today? i never did look at yesterdays.

9:56 am

artlady

Jera, I got hooked altho I resisted for months. There's a huge group at my school addicted, but most do the paper version.

9:56 am

artlady

Medium nut. But it's really easy.

9:56 am

evanonut

sorry natsha, yeah. i was wondering how difficult it is to type like that, and yes, this game is addicting.

9:57 am

evanonut

artlady, kinda grosses you out to see all that gunk, doesn't it? i have to figure out how to get the can opener apart now.

9:57 am

Jera

10:00 am

evanonut

no, no, i can beat it. it's just a bit of plastic, metal and wire, i'm much more advanced than it.

10:26 am

artlady

a cleaning message, nut. If the canopener won't cooperate it must mean you should babble instead.

10:26 am

artlady

Is it worth it???

11:04 am

stidmama

oh -- is _that_ what the song is about? I always thought they were about hiking boots...

and yes, i just missed out on go-go boots, born 1966.

hehehehehehehehehehe

maybe i should approach those "re" words?

11:53 am

chic

Hey 'nut! How's it going?

11:53 am

stidmama

thanks all -- got that pesky "o" -- now back to the e words...

11:59 am

chic

'nut, have you talked to Ren yet? I got IM now and was up late, late with the crew....fun stuff....

11:59 am

macuser

te8/45 is the plural of te7/32

12:00 pm

stidmama

that's okay sweetie, it gets easier with time. the people in the chat log are good at giving clues, you have the list of starting letters... see if you can get 50 words today, and don't worry about getting "all" the words just yet.

12:00 pm

evanonut

no chix - got an email day or two ago, almost promised to make it in today - i'm suffering from ren withdrawel!

12:00 pm

periwinkle

macuser, don't have the te7/28 clue please

12:01 pm

evanonut

chix, im? you mean aol im, msn im, or yahoo im?

12:01 pm

artlady

Hang in there stidmatt. It takes a while.

12:01 pm

chic

12:01 pm

macuser

te7/32 def... Any of various unsaturated hydrocarbons, C10H16, found in essential oils and oleoresins of plants such as conifers and used in organic syntheses.

12:02 pm

artlady

Chic, doing well. Daughter's home from college for the weekend. It's so sweet she brought a dratted COLD with her! I just got over a spell of illness and don't want her to share that with me!

12:02 pm

rosalind230

Hi everybody this is a hard grid

12:02 pm

periwinkle

macuser, great clue but have no idea what you are talking about, will have to goggle the definition

12:02 pm

evanonut

are you chic in yahoo? i'm not nut in yahoo, i'm evanofan

12:02 pm

bbnaz

someone please explain to me how re** (attaches to horse's bit) and the plural of the same are acceptable but not re**ER? Afterall, who is controlling those pesky things?

grumble grumble

12:02 pm

belize

hey bigword!!

12:03 pm

chic

artlady, I'm staying away from all my friends that have whatever it is that's going around. Don't want it!

12:03 pm

artlady

bbnaz, I agree!

12:04 pm

bigword

Hey belize

12:04 pm

artlady

The one who re*** should be the -er!

12:04 pm

chic

'nut, how can I get you on my list? Want to put my email address in my profile for a few min.?

12:04 pm

grigs

ok, macuser, you know when you google that you get research on female... uh... response?

12:04 pm

artlady

Chic, hard to stay away from my daughter... ;-)

12:05 pm

evanonut

yes chic, you do that, then i'll send you the little invite thingy.

12:06 pm

artlady

The sudoku today was soooo much easier than this!

12:07 pm

mab

grigs: look at the first entry you get.

12:07 pm

chic

ok, go.

12:07 pm

artlady

(there she goes, coughing and coughing and she won't take cough medicine....my daughter, that is. Oh to be 19 and know everything)

12:07 pm

macuser

lol, sorry grig... try this...
think of a STD, he*** but replace the first letter + the joint between the hip and foot

12:08 pm

chic

Artlady, maybe she'd take some hot lemon tea with honey....soothing...

12:09 pm

evanonut

lol chic, it's nice to have your email, but i meant your yahoo profile name!

12:11 pm

hurshy

macuser - not following - am i wrong in assuming you are referring to herpes?

12:11 pm

artlady

Thanks chic. I did make her some tea.
Reptine should be a word. It LOOKS like a word!

12:11 pm

stidmama

Angelsong, just sent you an email -- argh... (again)

12:11 pm

hurshy

oh, wait, i got it now!

12:11 pm

macuser

Hi hurshy... yes - take off the 's' too

12:11 pm

chic

ok, I'm new at this stuff. But I thought if you put in my email you'd get it. That's how I got Ren.

12:12 pm

bbnaz

okay i am really going nutz now.............gaaaaaah

12:12 pm

Ouwachita

12:14 pm

bbnaz

LE 7, 18 would be appreciated!

12:15 pm

Ouwachita

le7/28...going easy on someone

12:15 pm

artlady

parents who are too le7/27 with their children sometimes spoil them

12:15 pm

artlady

sorry, le 7/28!

12:15 pm

stidmama

don't know le 7/18, but le 7/28 means to go easy on someone -- opposite of strict...

12:16 pm

periwinkle

both ve7/40 please

12:16 pm

artlady

peri, i have one...the plural of someone who blows off steam...

12:16 pm

Sherylr1961

12:16 pm

stidmama

okay, i'm going to disappear for a while and copy words onto my paper list... BBL

12:17 pm

macuser

ve7/40
ve + the number after eights

12:17 pm

bbnaz

thank you very much and since i am disbabblia on the clues, maybe I meant to type LE5,12?

12:17 pm

periwinkle

12:18 pm

hurshy

person with skin disease that eventually can make limbs fall off

12:18 pm

bbnaz

12:19 pm

periwinkle

2nd ve6/27?

12:20 pm

artlady

got those r's!

12:20 pm

macuser

le4/5
le + the abbreviation for 60 minutes, then plural

12:20 pm

hurshy

or le 4/5 like cowardly lion actor but change vowel :)

12:20 pm

ShadowHyrst

2nd ve6/27 is singular of the 7/40

12:21 pm

Sherylr1961

artlady you got r's can you give them to me, lol

12:21 pm

periwinkle

then I am missing the first ve6/27

12:21 pm

bbnaz

similar to when you rant. the person is the ve****

12:22 pm

ylleria

es 4/4, anyone?

12:22 pm

artlady

Sure Sheryl, what do you need? (short pause while I get my coffee)

12:22 pm

macuser

es4/4
same 2 letters ;)

12:23 pm

bbnaz

Thanks Hursh. that would make the 5,12 the plural of that so now my LE words are done.

12:23 pm

hurshy

repeat, ylleria

12:23 pm

Sherylr1961

need the first re 7 pls

12:23 pm

hurshy

ah, mac, you're always one step ahead of me

12:23 pm

bbnaz

to go back inside

12:24 pm

ylleria

Thanks hurshy. Any idea what it means?

12:24 pm

HollyBug

I think my toe is broken.

12:24 pm

hurshy

no, sorry ylleria - does the ? say no def?

12:24 pm

evanonut

12:25 pm

artlady

12:25 pm

Sherylr1961

ty bb but i have that one must be the next 7

12:25 pm

hurshy

lol nut - you sound like my sister.

12:25 pm

macuser

lol hurshy... it's an anomaly... you're usually way ahead of me

12:25 pm

periwinkle

have more than half, time for another break

12:25 pm

artlady

Holly, which one? When I broke my pinkie toe it was just taped to the one next to it. Hurt like crazy, tho!

12:25 pm

hurshy

to bury again, then, sheryl?

12:26 pm

evanonut

hursh, your sister sounds like a lovely and intelligent woman then.

12:27 pm

Sherylr1961

ty hurshy

12:27 pm

macuser

sorry to hear Holly.. I broke my pinkie toe and it still looks gnarly

12:27 pm

hurshy

lol, that she is. but what it reminded me of was when i called her earlier this year to tell her that this other teacher was sitting in on my class (just for fun and bc his class met there before mine) and making me nervous, and what should i do? and she said "punch him in the face!"

12:30 pm

evanonut

sounds like an excellent lesson on resolving issues to me.

12:32 pm

hurshy

well, it made me feel a lot better than if she had just been sympathetic and said, oh, i don't know, that is a hard situation. :)

12:35 pm

evanonut

precisely, now all you have to do is if he's there and you get all nervous, just imagine you've socked him once and are carrying on with your lesson...

and if that doesn't work, picture him in a speedo

12:36 pm

hurshy

ick! actually, nut, i eventually switched classrooms :)

12:37 pm

bbnaz

HE 7,32 (first one)
HE 6,21 (last one)
any help please?

I will hammer on that silly second HE4,5

12:38 pm

artlady

Too bad, hurshy. No one wants my classroom, fortunately!

12:38 pm

artlady

And our staff is almost exclusively female, which is not necessarily a good thing...

12:38 pm

mab

he 6 is a narcotic

12:38 pm

macuser

he7
more than one Mr. Winkler

12:39 pm

hurshy

what kind of school are you at, artlady?

12:39 pm

artlady

Grrrr... ok, help? I'm stuck on a group of se's...
Starting after the 3rd se4, I need se 5/10, 6/18, and the next se4. Not the one as in the past tense of mailing something (which is the next se 4).

12:39 pm

macuser

he6
a person who is attracted to the opposite sex

12:39 pm

mab

Thanks macuser.

12:40 pm

artlady

Public elementary school in a Chicago suburb, K-5

12:40 pm

Judi

Hi, again. Back from buying cat food and other hunting and gathering.

12:40 pm

bbnaz

Thank you mac and mab. I have the narcotic HE, I am looking for the last HE and the second HE 4,5

12:40 pm

artlady

Dr. G and his brother were my students...years ago!

12:40 pm

stidmatt

The Se 5/10 is the plural of a Se 4/4.

12:40 pm

hurshy

lol, private boys' boarding high school in very rural CT - couldn't be more opposite!

12:40 pm

artlady

( my sad little claim to fame...)

12:41 pm

macuser

You're welcome mab :)

12:41 pm

hurshy

wow, that's cool artlady!

12:41 pm

evanonut

artlady, i agree that a primarily female staff is not a good thing. our staff is primarily female - and we are a viscous backstabbing lot.

12:42 pm

evanonut

viscous? he he

12:42 pm

artlady

True, but my school is in a very nice area.

12:42 pm

movieman

Anyone miss me while I was away?!!!!

12:42 pm

hurshy

artlady, add an e to the 4 you have, then make it a person who does for the 6, and then the following 4 is a homonym of viewed

12:42 pm

Vicuna

Before Kids I taught in a primarily female staff that was totally awesome and supportive!

12:42 pm

hurshy

oh, movieman - that is the icon i used on the first shoe day!

12:42 pm

artlady

Yes, 'nut. I just mind my own business and do what is important. Work with my students. Outside of school I'm very active, but my staff is pretty clique-y. Don't care for it!

12:43 pm

stidmama

movieman -- you were gone? :-)

*back to lurk mode*

12:43 pm

hurshy

ok so can i assume from earlier reference to "first he7" that there are 2 he7s?

12:44 pm

movieman

Yep, stid, went and watched a DVD.....

Fritz Lang's Metropolis.....

12:44 pm

artlady

Hurshy, I have the se 4 that is a homonym for viewed. I just can't get the next 3 in the list. Brain spasms...

12:44 pm

mab

backstabbing AND sticky? Oh, nut. I hate gossip in workplace; the psych hospital I last worked at was terrible, the men were worse than the women, I think. I think it was because they were taken more seriously.

12:44 pm

macuser

hurshy... just one he7

12:45 pm

Sherylr1961

can't monkey type that last he 6/21 anymore any clues pls

12:45 pm

bbnaz

hurshy, i am suffering from "disbabblia" so don't mind my chaos.............confusion... ..........inability to properly count.

12:45 pm

hurshy

hmm... well, i still think maybe my 5 and 6 clues will get you those - from the 4 before the homonym

12:46 pm

macuser

Sheryl... I gave a clue for it at 12:39

12:46 pm

BaronPuffPants

He 6/21 is the prefix for straight (sexually speaking)

12:46 pm

evanonut

it's kill or be killed where i work. everyone doing everything they can to make the others look bad, trying for the glorious promotion. lucky for me, i either have been keeping my nose clean, or receive enough pity to stay out of it.

12:46 pm

bbnaz

sheryl, not a homosexual but a he****

12:46 pm

artlady

I've been teaching 30 years and don't feel like it (fortunately for my students!). Unfortunately, many of the younger staff (sorry if I offend anyone, but it's my experience) are into their own thing only. Many of them can't see the larger picture.

12:47 pm

Sherylr1961

ty mas and bb

12:47 pm

evanonut

big picture: improvement of young minds?

12:47 pm

artlady

Don't have to worry about promotions. I'm department chair! Altho, there are only one or two of us art people per school. The department is district-wide. The art people are a decent group (if I say so myself!)

12:48 pm

Vicuna

I think art teachers (if I do say so myself) are peculiarly well-suited for seeing the larger picture. We have ( or should have) a habit of integrating all the parts of life.

12:48 pm

mab

I would so love to teach art history at the high school level, public. I'm sure it's not a priority subject, especially with the no child left behind initiative.

12:48 pm

evanonut

being artistic, i must say that you two are probably correct.

12:49 pm

bbnaz

i have an academically gifted teenager and an academically gifted mentally disabled soon to be teenager. i have plenty of thoughts on both aspects of their teachers (and have subbed myself but not a full time teacher)

12:49 pm

bbnaz

*to be teen

12:49 pm

movieman

Anyone got the other two 9's apart from the plural of the ne8/45?

If so, clue me up plz.....

12:50 pm

stidmama

ooh bbnaz typed a word *shh_- i won't tell*

12:50 pm

artlady

Hear hear, Vicuna!!

Hurshy, I have the se's relating to collecting minnows (used to do that as a kid!)...it's later on. AACK!

12:50 pm

evanonut

bb typed a word

bb typed a wo-o-o-o-o-ord!

12:51 pm

bbnaz

disbabblia strikes again in the passion of the thought....oops

12:51 pm

macuser

I'm just glad they're still offering art in schools... they've pretty much eliminated music from the curriculum

12:51 pm

artlady

mab, you're right. Our children are being shortchanged. The difference in my district is really sad, although we still have art. I do a lot of art history integrated into art production, history, science...any way i can!

12:51 pm

bbnaz

more than once even

12:52 pm

evanonut

eliminating music is WRONG...and this from someone who wouldn't take music.

12:52 pm

stidmama

both our sons do well academically -- one has some difficulties with physical things and social interactions that the school administration is often unwilling to address proactively. BUT i have so much respect for the teachers, who are so kind and gracious and helpful, and THANK YOU to all who have the strength and courage to teach our children!

12:52 pm

hurshy

i have an re9, pl of re8

12:53 pm

bbnaz

fortunately both the privately educated and the publicly educated disabled one both have received excellent musical education along with very comprehensive art too

12:53 pm

hurshy

oh then i guess i am missing them too - unless you are misreading your list?

12:53 pm

movieman

hursh, clue me up with the re8 then.....

12:53 pm

hurshy

person who is sorry

12:54 pm

bbnaz

need to pay MORE money to teachers, merit based, so as to keep the best and the brightest teaching our future.

12:54 pm

hurshy

wilt thou clue ME up with the ne8? :) :) :)

12:54 pm

mab

You sound like a wonderful teacher arty. I think art and music are so terribly important. If I were a student today I think I would learn to hate school -- so much emphasis on The Test.

12:54 pm

evanonut

merit always turns into favortism unfortunately.

12:54 pm

stidmama

i am spinning my wheels on the list. off to play with other things for a while! Later, all!

12:55 pm

movieman

Hursh - Google THIS!!!!!!

"A synthetic rubber produced by polymerization of chloroprene and used in weather-resistant products, adhesives, shoe soles, sportswear, paints, and rocket fuels"

12:55 pm

bbnaz

wahoo hurshy! thanks for those three biggies

12:55 pm

hurshy

sigh. ok.

12:55 pm

chic

bye, stid and
Hello again, All!

12:56 pm

bbnaz

see you later Stidmama

12:56 pm

evanonut

soon art lessons and music will come out of the parents pockets only, only the wealthy will have the rounded education.

12:56 pm

evanonut

chix de clix, how the hair look?

12:56 pm

bbnaz

52 to go. maybe a break is in order?

12:56 pm

hurshy

personally i prefer an octagonal education

12:57 pm

Vicuna

The hitch with merit-based pay for teachers is that it isn't so easy to judge merit. You can't point to the sales you made, the commisions you brought in, the product you produced...

12:57 pm

HollyBug

lol. How about clues for the re8?

12:57 pm

chic

Ha! I knew what that was , Movieman...

12:57 pm

bbnaz

maybe there needs to be less top heavy administration to free up budget monies for the classrooms?

12:58 pm

evanonut

can't survey students, or judge by scores

12:58 pm

bbnaz

sorry but my oldest went to a private school and in her 8th grade year suffered in honors algebra because the engineer they hired to teach had no clue how to do it. what a ridiculous waste of her time and my money. fortunately for future students he wasn't offered another contract. don't get me wrong, he was brilliant, just no idea how to teach

12:58 pm

artlady

bbl

1:00 pm

macuser

Where I live, the stupid city govt. in their infinite wisdom (not) doubled everyone's real estate taxes and earmarked the money for schools. They built big new schools but didn't improve the education of the students one iota

1:00 pm

movieman

Right then, that's two out of the three 9's.....

What the hell is the other.......

*Begins to tear hair out*

1:01 pm

bbnaz

maybe a bit more teaching and a little less homework to cover what isn't being taught at school. I am a college grad with post educational studies. Husband holds an MSEE degree. I fared quite nicely in the public school system in Arizona in the 60s and 70s. Please tell me what went wrong since then? Other than the 60s and 70s I mean and the abdication of parental responsibility.

1:01 pm

chic

clue for the in 5/10 just before the 7; I have the land/sea thing

1:01 pm

cybernan

two re 8's -- only have the one that means one who regrets and it's plural

1:02 pm

bbnaz

not moving or perhaps you mean the bumbling one?

1:02 pm

bbnaz

chic did that help or confuse more?

1:02 pm

ylleria

Can I get some help with the in 7/28 and the second in 5/10?

1:02 pm

hurshy

other re8 - pl of re7 - people who lease

1:03 pm

bbnaz

Cybernan, to bury again..........

1:03 pm

hurshy

i am way confused about the in situation and the se situation

1:03 pm

hurshy

oh that too - 3 re8's!

1:04 pm

chic

thanx, bb
movieman there is et9 , re9, and ne9....

1:04 pm

cybernan

se 7/28 (following the french fisherman)

1:04 pm

cybernan

oops -- forgot the question mark -- was asking for a clue!

1:05 pm

mab

A public h.s. teacher friend teaches some of his classes in a trailor (trailer?). It seems difficult for governmental bodies to get anything approximately right. And then there are school districts that were good to begin with and were let alone. Quite a range...

1:05 pm

movieman

Chic - any cluez for the et9......

1:05 pm

hurshy

to make last forever, movieman

1:05 pm

movieman

Just got the et9 as you were posting, Hursh....

1:06 pm

chic

plural for the et8; goes on forever....

1:06 pm

Kateq

after the french fisherman--are the french fishermen

1:06 pm

hurshy

drat, which one is the french fisherman?

1:06 pm

artlady

Ok, I'm back. Got a phone call from my friend who's going to Italy with me this summer. Woohoo!

1:07 pm

evanonut

abdication of parental responsibility pretty well sums it up i think.

1:07 pm

chic

ooo, lucky duck artlady, going to florence? that's where I'd like togo...

1:07 pm

hurshy

aha - artlady - french river and a bunch that build off it, is that what you need?

1:07 pm

cybernan

se 6/18: fisherman (think of the river that runs through Paris)

1:08 pm

Kateq

some help, perhaps--thereis the person who leases-re6/18, the people who lease- re 7/28, then there is an re 8/40 ??

1:08 pm

hurshy

well make it plural, cnan, make it plural!

1:08 pm

artlady

Now, se's
I have thru the 7/28 and the next 2 (6/18, 4/4)
Need the next 5/10, 6/18, 4/4. The next 4/4 after than is the homonym for smell... I am giving up and moving on for a while, but I hate to leave loose ends!!
...help...?

1:08 pm

cybernan

oh rats!!!

1:09 pm

Happy babbling everyone! :) Bye!

1:09 pm

Oh, chic, Firenze, Venezia, Sorrento, Londra....I mean London... I was in Florence the first time last summer. Got the bug! Art, wine, culture, food, people, wine, art...

1:09 pm

1:09 pm

1:11 pm

hurshy

artlady, then you need the ones that sound like grab, and related - or else you need to recheck your list maybe you aren't missing any!

1:11 pm

cybernan

don't think so hurshy

1:11 pm

hurshy

phew

1:11 pm

cybernan

thanks art lady

1:12 pm

artlady

1:13 pm

artlady

ROFL!!!! 'nut!!!!

1:13 pm

hurshy

you know, carpe diem and all that, artlady

1:14 pm

evanonut

just wanted to tell you artlady, i'm going to go finish cleaning the worlds dirtiest dishwasher.

1:14 pm

artlady

it's some kind of mineral...think rock type ending, add a vowel after the si

1:15 pm

cybernan

Thanks artlady --- used in pottery glazes -- usually spelled sy___

1:15 pm

hurshy

40 to go and no list yet! this is the kind of puzzle i like. lots of normal words, with helpful e's and s's

1:15 pm

artlady

hurshy, thanks so much, but I have that one, that's the 4th word on the se list. I'm sorry to be a pest...I have the 1st 4 se4's and the words between. I have the 6th se 4 and the words after...(embarassed look on face)..thanks for all your effort.

1:16 pm

artlady

Oh cyb! I should have recognized that one! It's been many years since I did ceramic glaze formulations.

1:17 pm

hurshy

artlady, what i have been saying all along is that you need to add an e to that one, and then another letter for the six to make it a person

1:18 pm

chic

artladly, I used to throw pottery and fire my own stuff too!

1:19 pm

shorty

woohoo thanks hursy for that clue I got it

1:19 pm

artlady

Hurshy, you are fabulous. I just figured out I had one of the se4's in the wrong spot on my paper list and it totally threw me off. Got it!!!
Kudos!!!

1:19 pm

hurshy

well that's a relief bc for a while there i thought i was completely crazy

1:20 pm

bbnaz

HE 4,5 the second word, not the one dealing with estate

1:20 pm

artlady

Nope. I had my se4 in the spot where the missing se 4 should go and geez that threw everything off. (Wipes beads of sweat from forehead...)

1:20 pm

hurshy

meanwhile i still need 4 s's myself :)

1:23 pm

scribble

can someone help me with er 5/10??
please?

1:24 pm

evanonut

artlady - MORE protective plastic! i kid you not!

1:24 pm

hurshy

a poet writes ve6 (not in puzzle), take off the v

1:25 pm

bbnaz

scribble, songs have ver*** (like chapters in a story)

1:25 pm

artlady

'nut, I left the protective plastic on my laptop deliberately. My daughter keeps trying to pick it off, but I won't let her. I said it protects it!
My laptop is 6 years old...

1:25 pm

bbnaz

drop the "v"

1:25 pm

chic

bbl, have shower now...

1:25 pm

scribble

thank you hurshy!!

1:25 pm

evanonut

* heads back to kitchen * maybe if i find enough protective plastic, it will be like having a brand new dishwasher.

1:26 pm

hurshy

nut you are too much :)

1:26 pm

bbnaz

doesn't anybody have that pesky HE 4,5 word? the second one, not the first? begging here.

1:27 pm

hurshy

rhymes with money you pay for your apt every month

1:27 pm

hurshy

no sorry, it's like hi but w/o double cons.

1:27 pm

artlady

bb, he 4/5...short term for whirly bird type of aircraft

1:28 pm

hurshy

and by hi i mean "hi!" not an hi word

1:29 pm

bbnaz

prostrating self in gratitude for the help. TYVM now back to those pesky pe words before moving on to the re, se and si.

kinda like do re mi <;~P

1:30 pm

harpjane

1:30 pm

artlady

1:30 pm

hurshy

i'm missing one blasted E - from the rightmost one - any guesses? :)

1:31 pm

artlady

Hurshy, do you have a 4/5 from that e?

1:32 pm

raeanha

my mom, mklein was a potter for many years too!

1:32 pm

artlady

(notice how quickly I jump to your aid!)

1:32 pm

hurshy

eek, no! thanks artlady, i'll look!

1:32 pm

hurshy

i appreciate that, artlady :)

1:32 pm

artlady

I loved ceramics in college. Teaching at the elementary level limits what I can do, but i do a ceramics unit with each grade.

1:33 pm

bbnaz

hurshy it ends with not lo but ** (think altitude) and the second letter is the consonant before "m"

1:34 pm

artlady

I can't believe that te 8/40!

1:35 pm

hurshy

ooh, there's a te 8/40! i love the log.

1:35 pm

scribble

1:35 pm

hurshy

thanks bbnaz

1:36 pm

artlady

ANything for you, hurshy... ;-)

1:36 pm

jeffer

1:37 pm

hurshy

there's a pe 8/45? now those are my last two 8's then, pe and te

1:37 pm

hurshy

there are 2 po 8/45's though, both building on po7 - to wax non-prosaic?

1:38 pm

evanonut

whew! i have a clean dishwasher! maybe i should run it with bleach now, what you think artlady?

1:38 pm

artlady

Definitely, 'nut! Twice!

1:38 pm

artlady

almost time for finishing my taxes...

1:39 pm

evanonut

btw - i think i'm going to rot my fingers off with chemicals - wouldn't that be interesting? i could be like a cleaning martyr.

1:39 pm

sherb

in my opinion, cleanliness is overrated... I'd rather Babble...

1:39 pm

bbnaz

hurshy the te 8 ends in the last four letters of the woman's name in the song "Goodnight I****" and then add the plural letter.

1:40 pm

hurshy

carpe felis

1:40 pm

bbnaz

nevermind. i was thinking of something whilst typing. I meant the last three letters are from that gal's name, with the plural. Prior to that you put in a consonant that follows "o"

1:41 pm

bbnaz

thoroughly confused now Hursh?

1:41 pm

evanonut

aw sherb, your hurting my feelings!

1:41 pm

hurshy

oh, but i have that. artlady said there was an 8/40 - was that just a mistake?

1:41 pm

artlady

Well, the IRS is calling. Hurshy, enjoy yourself and thanks again for your patient repetition of clues for this deficient babbler.
"nut, have fun cleaning. I'm off to play with numbers! (actually they're done, just have to double-check!)
Ciao, a domani!

1:42 pm

hurshy

bye artlady :)

1:42 pm

artlady

Hurshy, the te 8/40 builds off the earlier te's...

1:42 pm

jeffer

thanks hurshy

1:43 pm

hurshy

but i don't have the list so i don't know where it goes :) it's ok, as long as it's really there, that's all that matters :)

1:43 pm

bbnaz

think really really small there hursh for the te 8,40

1:43 pm

Angelsong

I'm missing an Ni 5 following the Ni6/18. I have the Ni that ends in the second vowel, and I have the one for a short form of dynamite. any clues for the other one?

1:43 pm

sherb

having said that, I did dust and vacuum my apartment today... but that was for the first time in three weeks... life's too short...

1:44 pm

hurshy

aha, thanks bbnaz

1:44 pm

hurshy

a plural, perhaps, angel?

1:45 pm

bbnaz

you can count on me to confuse anytime!

1:45 pm

hurshy

ok, so pe 8/45, this is real yes? not a rumor?

1:46 pm

1:52 pm

harpjane

I have that one hurshy? Do you have the next one? (re7/28)

1:52 pm

bbnaz

Hurshy, the PE 7 and 8 are singular and plural respectively. The word sounds like a popular hair shampoo

1:53 pm

sherb

hi smithchick... cool mules... :D

1:53 pm

hurshy

harp, i have one more after that, puts prongs back on a fork, and i have three before it. (now you do realize i was referring to a singular, not a plural, i hope)

he'll do great cliff - my future sister in law went into the air force, then out cause they didn't have the job promised here, then she went into the army. she said air force was easy compared to army. i don't know if that makes you feel better, come to think of it, i doubt it helps at all actually...

2:18 pm

off to a rehearsal, then a wedding. 55 words to go. thanks for the help!

2:19 pm

Bye, harpjane!

2:20 pm

stidmama

later harpjane!

2:20 pm

Angelsong

aloyisius, thanks a lot. My goal in making the pages was to colllect all of the Babble resources and information I could find to have everything in one handy place. I wanted new players to be able to spend less time being confused, and established players to have their resources for quick access.

2:20 pm

cliffopa

yeah, our retired military friends also said the air force was the easiest. my son is an engineer and is going to be doing research and development, so i'm not worried about him serving. he is my only 'birth' child (other 2 are 'bonus' from husband's 1st marriage) and in 26 years he has never been more than 3 hrs away (except for trips out of the country or new england)

3:31 pm

Twinkie

sorry, stupidly-phrased question, mikey--you can be german and live in germany! (lol) i was thinking maybe you met your partner in germany when you were travelling and stayed there because our stupid country (usa) stinks when it comes to allowing foreign gay men to marry american partners and stay in our country... (sorry, have friends who had to move out of america to be with their foreign partners :-()

3:31 pm

cliffopa

3:33 pm

MikeyInBerlin

3:36 pm

Twinkie

3:37 pm

MikeyInBerlin

3:37 pm

smithchick

I need to quit blabbing and babble instead.:-)

3:38 pm

LeslieAnn

mikey, try the babble rules link at the top first

3:38 pm

evanonut

okay then mikey, make words from letters that touch each other. each block can only be used once in a word.

3:38 pm

cliffopa

3:38 pm

LeslieAnn

3:40 pm

hurshy

3:40 pm

Jera

The et's are almost like live forever, but fiddle with the ending... not al

3:41 pm

Jera

The longer et's are almost like one who does, but don't use a t... you really just have to play around with the endings, they are a bit odd...

3:42 pm

LeslieAnn

ok, thanks jera, i have the 6 and will fiddle for the 8 and 9

3:42 pm

Jera

The last re6 is how you might fix a broken fork...

3:42 pm

MikeyInBerlin

3:43 pm

Angelsong

Help, please! for the PE's I have:
pe4/5
pe5/12 that's a plural of the pe4/5

faeriekae

7:44 pm

Vicuna

7:44 pm

Angelsong

faeriekae - if those shoes are bronze you'd better watch out - i want them! LOL

7:46 pm

faeriekae

Angel - you looked breath taking. I love the dress. It is beautiful. Wish I could just see alittle more detail in the dress though. It looks awesome.

7:47 pm

inge

Vicuna, I actually got that word now. Thanks for the clue. Is re 8/40 related? It cant be a plural

7:47 pm

faeriekae

TO - I just bought this pair while away last week. They are bronze. I bought 7 pair of shoes last week *teehee*

7:47 pm

Vicuna

Yes it is, and yes it can, inge!

7:50 pm

My kids are coming in and trying to help - my 5 year old son is getting lots of 3 letter words!

7:51 pm

fig

what a mental workout

7:51 pm

faeriekae

Talk - Hey, didn't see you. Trying to find a few more words....not even going to try and finish tonight. I got a really late start.

7:52 pm

faeriekae

Caloli-Oh the 3 letter ones lol. That is so cute. Now on the the 4 and 5 and so on and so on....Help is always good.

7:52 pm

inge

Thansk for the support. I keep wanting to quit... How about se 6/18, the one before the spanish 6.

7:53 pm

Freckle

et 9 hints ne one?

7:53 pm

faeriekae

Ing I don't have anything much past the po's sorry.

7:54 pm

inge

Freckle, the stuff diving suits are made of

7:54 pm

faeriekae

et 9 is plural of the 8/40

7:56 pm

inge

Sorry Freckle, msiread your question. et 9 means to "go on and on forever"

8:00 pm

inge

Well, I also need three pe's. Anhelp for the first pe 4/5?

8:00 pm

caloli

I've stuck on the last few te's ... anybody still giving clues?

8:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

ingge - opp of out

8:01 pm

inge

Which te's do you need? I have them all.

8:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

2nd pe7/32 & 8/45 below it please?

8:01 pm

caloli

The first pe4/5 is similar to the tube which carries blood around your body. Change the first letter from v to p.

8:02 pm

caloli

I need both te6's, both te7's and both te8's.

8:03 pm

caloli

Inge, I think the se6/18 you're looking for is related to the French river. Add an s to the end.

8:05 pm

caloli

pe7/38 sounds like a shampoo brand. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. pe8 is the plural of it.

8:05 pm

inge

First to the te's. Most begin with the same four letters refering to an age group (13-19) or meaning very small.Pe 7/32 is the plural of the male appendage.

8:05 pm

bendamalina

te 6/18 is past, present, and future...plural of te5/10

8:07 pm

faeriekae

how about pr 5/18 and pr 6/30 please.

8:07 pm

caloli

thanks - I got both te6's now will work on te7 and 8

8:08 pm

caloli

pr ... you leave bread to do this when you're baking it. Also, you pr*** a theory.

8:08 pm

inge

Caloli, that word(s) I have. I need the next se 6/18 ( I hope)

8:10 pm

faeriekae

Ok got the pr 6/30 but not getting the 5/18? Sorry

8:10 pm

caloli

Did you try adding an R to the end of the river, Inge?

8:11 pm

inge

te 7/32 think of the stuff you dilute paint with, and then plural for the 8.

8:11 pm

caloli

Take the N off the end of pr6, Faerie.

8:12 pm

faeriekae

Calio - Thanks, no on to the dreaded re's......ugh

8:13 pm

inge

i got all the "river" variations. This se is further down, after the "shipping" words and their variations.

8:13 pm

faeriekae

that should have said now on the re's...I can't type no wonder I suck so bad at this. LOL

8:14 pm

faeriekae

Actually I type way too much. Maybe thats the problem huh?

8:15 pm

faeriekae

oops pt 6/21 I didn't even see that one. Any clues?

8:15 pm

caloli

sorry inge, I'm not very good at this! Did you try adding -er to the spanish six? I only started babbling last week, so I'm still learning how to give good clues (and to give them for the right words!!)

8:15 pm

faeriekae

I got the pt....thanks anyway.

9:46 pm

stidmama

good night Igorms!

hi all, i'm lurking in the background while I play with other things... finished a while ago if you need help.

9:47 pm

bendamalina

if you have po 4/5, then +ise

9:47 pm

stidmama

ne 8/45: an artificial leather/rubber used in wetsuits
ne 9 is the plural

9:48 pm

bendamalina

that was for twinkie!

9:48 pm

Twinkie

thanks! i kept trying +er, +ese, and none worked.

9:48 pm

bendamalina

Thanks stidmama! I never would've gotten it otherwise

9:50 pm

stidmama

the theme for tomorrow is greek mythology. I'd like to audition my icon -- the messenger from the gods to the mortals, Iris who used a rainbow to pass from Mt. Olympus to earth. refresh if you have time, and let me know if it looks okay to you...

9:51 pm

Twinkie

i had no idea there were themes on these... what's today's theme, then?

9:51 pm

Twinkie

or is the theme relegated only to icons, not the puzzle?

9:52 pm

stidmama

today's theme has been shoes and boots.

not everyone "plays dressup" -- but it's kinda fun. Babbler posts the themes on her profile page

9:52 pm

bendamalina

cute rainbow, stidmama

9:52 pm

stidmama

oh yeah-- icons only -- i believe the puzzles are generated randomly!

9:53 pm

Twinkie

cool, thanks for that explanation. i kept wondering how everyone was in the know re: the shoes today...

9:54 pm

stidmama

yes, i was pretty confused my first couple of days, too!

thanks, bendamalina -- are you new? i don't recognize your name

9:55 pm

Twinkie

stid, which is the babbler page where you got the info on the themes? there's a couple listed on the side, not sure which one...

9:55 pm

bendamalina

yeah, i'm new
i played once before the other day, but i think i only got 400 some odd points. i just casually played to see what it's like.

i'm an avid boggle player. cutthroat, almost

9:56 pm

Twinkie

bend, do you ever play weboggle?

9:59 pm

bendamalina

no, never played it. probably shouldn't be playing this right now cause i have so much work i ought to be doing....heh!

10:00 pm

how about you? how long have you been playing?

10:03 pm

Twinkie

i just started a week or so ago. i love webboggle--actually, i was taking a break from babble to do webboggle! (i know of what you speak re: wasting too much time playing...i've stayed up very late in the past playing weboggle!)

10:04 pm

Twinkie

here's the link, fyi (they have 4x4 and 5x5): http://weboggle.shackworks.com /

10:06 pm

stidmama

sorry, got called away for a minute... catching up on the log now.

10:06 pm

Twinkie

this is the closest i've ever come to finishing...usually i try to hit 1000 and then leave, but today i tried the grid thing from lickity and got close (152 words, 2070 points). i can't see myself staying on to finish an entire one! it takes staying power. (ironsudoku is more my style--quick and dirty)

10:07 pm

stidmama

Babbler's profile is at
http://www.playbabble.com/vie w_profile/6719

10:08 pm

stidmama

I give myself a 100-word minimum (or the max in the puzzle), but most days have enough time in between other things to finish the whole shebang

10:08 pm

bendamalina

thanks for your profile! everyone here is so nice

10:09 pm

bendamalina

i know what you mean, twinkie. if i hadn't gotten the licketysplit grid, i would've stopped long ago

i like websudoku

10:11 pm

Twinkie

i like websudoku, too. my other faves (some already mentioned): ironsudoku, babbler, weboggle, bookworm (on popcap), mahjong (also on popcap). if you like wordgames, bookworm rocks!

10:12 pm

Twinkie

stid, i love the themes!!! you guys rock! (although i will miss having my beloved luna eyeing her ball...)

10:12 pm

bendamalina

i like to play orisinal games, not because they are challenging, but because they are cute and have nice music

http://www.ferryhalim.c om/orisinal/

10:14 pm

Twinkie

check out bookworm on popcap: http://www.popcap.com/

10:14 pm

stidmama

the themes were here a long time before i was! so many of the people here are real gems.

sometimes, when a theme doesn't "agree" with me, I go back to one of the more meaningful personal icons. You'll see cybernan do that a lot, and many others.

10:15 pm

bendamalina

i think i might leave this at 137
not bad for my second try

10:18 pm

stidmama

bendamalina, that is a good number of words for your second go-round. Well done!

10:19 pm

Twinkie

yeah, i saw cybernan had her own pic today.

i love the orisinal!!! was playing the cat one just now! (they are soooo like real cats--can't make them do what you want!)

10:20 pm

bendamalina

haha, twinkie!

and thanks, stidmama

10:21 pm

Twinkie

and you're right about the music (have it playing still in the background--"do-do-do--dododo !")

10:22 pm

Twinkie

very cute.

oops, music died--my cats must have gone haywire and i ran out of points. ;-)

good night--enjoy the rest of the puzzle, and see you soon!

10:23 pm

Minski

HI. THe only P word that I am missing is the 3rd PE5/12. Could someone please help me? Thanks.

10:27 pm

mab

Minski: the third 5/12 is two or more writing implements with an extra vowel. (betw the last cons and the pl curvy letter)

10:30 pm

bendamalina

good night everyone, and good luck

10:30 pm

Minski

Thanks mab.
Now how about help with the OR6?
Thanks.

10:33 pm

Minski

forget the or. got it.
thakns anyhow.

10:54 pm

Minski

Close enough.
I'm done.
Nighty-night.

11:08 pm

stidmama

good night Minski!

11:12 pm

Charm

evening, everyone.

11:18 pm

ShadowHyrst

Minski...you need to orient yourself toward the east

11:26 pm

mom23

Whew! Eyes closing at 143. May not seem like many to most of you, but to me it's a bonanza! Thanks for all the great clues. Couldn't have done it w/o y'all! Nite all--sweet dreams. Or maybe I'll just wait for the next grid to be posted--somebody save me!

11:32 pm

ShadowHyrst

grid for tomorrow is supposed to be greek mythology, ye gods...

11:34 pm

stidmama

hi Charm, all! (((hugs)))

11:35 pm

Charm

hey stidmama. just waiting for the flip. How are you?

11:38 pm

stoningtoncat

how do you know tomorrows theme?

11:40 pm

knutmeg

Hello and Good Evening!

11:42 pm

stidmama

also waiting for the flip, updating various web pages i've been slow on... the usual!

11:42 pm

knutmeg

stoningtoncat: go here: http://www.playbabble.com/vie w_profile/6719

11:43 pm

stidmama

knutmeg! how's our princess (and her daughter?)

11:44 pm

knutmeg

Doing good. Tonight is shift night with my husband (we split up the nights before his days off. I get to sleep in our bed. For hours! Starting at either 2am or 3am... I haven't decided yet when I want him to relieve me...

Olivia is doing good tonight. She drank 4 oz in one sitting after breastfeeding, I hope that means she'll be asleep for a few more hours, yet. ;-)

11:47 pm

stidmama

Hope Olivia's growing well -- she is small, as you mentioned earlier today... I know how hard it can be to get a newborn to nurse enough to sleep more than a couple hours at a time.

but my boys were 9.5 and 8.5 pound brutes at birth, so I really don't know what a normal sized baby should weigh at three weeks! Still, we nursed every two or three hours the first couple months with each of them, and eventually they were big enough to sleep larger blocks of time.

11:47 pm

stoningtoncat

knut--it doesn't work?

11:48 pm

stidmama

13 minutes left, folks, need any last minute clues?

11:48 pm

knutmeg

stonington: remove the space in the link. Or go to Angelsong's Resource page on the right, the link is also found there.

11:48 pm

badcat

I could use the pt word, stid

11:49 pm

stidmama

"any of various compounds that contain the bicyclic ring system characteristic of pteridine"

pt + a way to refer to Ireland (also a girl's name that sounds like aaron)

11:50 pm

knutmeg

We're using formula to help us with those cluster feedings, which she is doing a lot recently. By the time I go back to work, we want her on formula exclusively. I know breastmilk is better, but both she and I are having a hard time with the breastfeedings. Plus, I can't pump at work, I work customer service at a grocery store, its impossible to get off the floor!

11:51 pm

stidmama

I know what you mean, knutmeg! I was lucky that after our first I had a private office and could take him along the first few months while I continued to work part-time (he was born with problems, so couldn't send him to daycar); then I left work when my Tom got a job... even so it was hard sometimes to balance everything -- and since he couldn't take a bottle I never had any time off!

11:52 pm

badcat

thank you, stidmama

I still need the long ve's between the poisons and the air duct, and the long et's, if you have them.

11:52 pm

stidmama

take the et 6, drop the last vowel and add -ise, then plural

11:53 pm

stidmama

ve's: add the second vowel to the poison; add the recurvy consonant to the poison; add both to the poison...

11:53 pm

cybernan

Hail to the gang!

11:53 pm

badcat

thanks again, stidmama--I always forget to Anglicise!

11:54 pm

stidmama

hi nan! how was the night out?

11:54 pm

badcat

woo hoo right under the wire!!

thanks all, most especially stidmama!

11:55 pm

stidmama

YAY badcat!

11:55 pm

cybernan

Great -- it was just the opening wine & cheese at our golf club.

11:56 pm

stidmama

oh, that sounds so -- elegant! we're still in the pizza and pop circle -- for at least a few more years while the kids are young...

11:56 pm

cybernan

they grow up all too soon stidmama!

11:56 pm

knutmeg

Hi Cybernan!

I have been lucky enough to have my work and my husband's work allow us to switch to opposite shifts, so we don't have to try and afford daycare or nannies or any of that. He also works at a grocery store, same company, different city.

11:58 pm

stidmama

oh knutmeg, that is so nice of them to arrange that for you -- although I know that it means you won't see as much of each other as you like, it will be so good for Olivia! I was glad our kids were always with us or grandparents their first few years... very nurturing.

11:58 pm

cybernan

Hi knutmeg --- you should live in Canada --- mother's get 3 months maternity leave at full pay or 1 year at 3/4 pay -- fathers can also claim up to 6 months at 3/4 pay, but not concurrently with the mother.

11:58 pm

stidmama

don't they, though, nan! I can hardly believe we got Matthew his own screenname for Babble today -- and he got close to a hundred words, I think!

11:59 pm

stidmama

see you all on the other side... :-)

11:59 pm

knutmeg

Oh, my thoughts exactly. It won't be easy, and we aren't pretending it won't be, but we are so glad that Olivia will have the advantage of one parent around all the time for these first years.

11:59 pm
