12:00 am

stidmama

fliperoo!

12:01 am

LeslieAnn

darnit, guess that means you win, huh?

12:01 am

stidmama

here, have some chocolate and cookies and ice cream... :-)

12:02 am

stidmama

my clock says there are NaN+ hours left before the puzzle closes... :-D

12:02 am

LeslieAnn

hmmm....

12:03 am

LeslieAnn

212 today... i think i might skip it. or at least wait until morning to decide. night, mama (and lurkers)

12:04 am

stidmama

good night LeslieAnn! sweet dreams!

12:05 am

jeffer

stidmama hi
a question ...

12:06 am

stidmama

hi jeffer! quest away.

12:06 am

jeffer

why do people skip grids ?

12:07 am

stidmama

I think there are two reasons, one is (as you may have noticed) it is really hard to not finish once you started;
the other is that your total points depend on how well you do on the grids attempted.

12:08 am

stidmama

the most points you can get for a grid is 1000, plus the number of grids you have completed. If you look at the player rankings, you will see how this works.

12:08 am

knutmeg

hello again... looking at another night of fussy baby, whee!!

12:08 am

jeffer

oh ok and how do they know so quickly how many words?

12:08 am

stidmama

So, if a grid looks like it's bigger than you have time or energy, then you can keep your average higher by not attempting it.

12:09 am

stidmama

knutmeg! xxxxxbabyxxxxx

12:09 am

jeffer

ok that makes sense

12:10 am

stidmama

the stats panel figures it out and posts it pretty quickly. I only just learned that sometimes you have to hit refresh a few times before it registers, though.

12:10 am

jeffer

oh ok one more question ...

12:11 am

stidmama

somehow I managed to get 42 words already...

12:11 am

stidmama

yes?

12:11 am

Goat

woo! gotta love a grid with bodily secretion and body part gutter humor.

12:11 am

knutmeg

hello, Stidmama!! Liv screams her hello, too:-)

12:11 am

stidmama

be 7/44

12:12 am

stidmama

knutmeg -- it is possible she's teething already? Matthew cut two teeth at 7 weeks...

12:12 am

devilgirl

not working..why..erros on page anyone else!!!

12:12 am

knutmeg

at three weeks???

12:13 am

stidmama

devilgirl, try refreshing your page. There are a lot of "hits" on the server this time of day, and sometimes things just bog down.

12:13 am

stidmama

oh, right. three weeks would be a bit early (i get all the babies' ages mixed up... who has the 2 month old? Woulf?)

12:14 am

knutmeg

considering how much she'seating I'm voting growth spurt

12:14 am

wassup

knutmeg, a friend of mine had a baby with 2 teeth at birth! That's not normal though. Obviously.

12:15 am

stidmama

yes, that would make sense, too. also, colic sometimes shows up this age -- does she seem gassy but not able to get it out?

12:15 am

stidmama

jeffer -- still waiting for the next query ;-)

12:15 am

knutmeg

no problems expressing gas :-) in all it's forms

12:16 am

stidmama

there's an American-made truck in the grid!

12:16 am

stidmama

well, that's good. hugs and nursies, then, and know that when she does grow she'll sleep a lot more!

12:17 am

knutmeg

you promise?? :-) 5 hours of sleep since Sunday morn :-(

12:18 am

stidmama

yes, i promise. and it works at least up until age 13... when the kids are getting ready for a growth spurt, they eat and eat and are restless. when they stop eating, they sleep and grow~ some days they wake up and the whole shape of the face has changed!

12:19 am

jeffer

i was going to say why is the sky blue?
(seemed funny at the time)

12:19 am

knutmeg

I will love you if she starts sleeping lots after this restlessness ends :-)

12:20 am

stidmama

oh the sky is blue because I wish it to be so, and in my special happy place the sky is always blue when I am awake, the breezes are always gentle and there is no land-based mollusc to eat my plants!

12:20 am

chic

R 7/36

12:21 am

stidmama

hello chic!

12:21 am

stidmama

whoa! I am at 58 words already!

12:21 am

jeffer

oh

12:22 am

pthomp

mama - sounds like AZ = come on down... about 70 outside right now!

12:22 am

knutmeg

Woot!! Sleeping baby for the next 15 minutes at least!! lets see how many words I can get in before she wakes up...

12:22 am

wassup

44 for me!

12:23 am

chic

Hi stid! 64 for me.

12:23 am

wassup

pthomp, so jealous. I'm in oregon. raining. ugh, can't wait for summer.

12:24 am

pthomp

we had no rain for 4 mo. waiting for forest fires this summer

12:24 am

stidmama

but -- isn't AZ a desert? with snakes and scorpions and gila monsters? besides, if I went someplace dry, my gills would shrivel up!

12:25 am

stidmama

wow chic! doin' good!

12:25 am

wassup

i guess every place has its ups and downs. i used to live in palm springs, so i have been in two extremes

12:25 am

stidmama

yes, at least this year the fire season in the Pac NW will be short and hopefully not too bad. It's rained enough for a change!

12:26 am

chic

no stid , your bones dry out and feel great...Endless summer in AZ yay!

12:26 am

pthomp

yes a desetm but that doesn't mean NO rain. the pests leave you alone if you don't bother them

12:26 am

wassup

we have to put up with a lot of wet so we can have so much green. it's worth it.

12:27 am

stidmama

okay -- maybe i'll wander through one of these days! I do like warm...

12:28 am

stidmama

ah yes, and the sneaker slogan... just ** **!

fun when the grid does things like that!

12:28 am

pthomp

we have subtle greens. can't beat the clear skys. come down for some enchiladas & margaritas

12:30 am

chic

12:32 am

12:33 am

Becks81

Hi all I just played my first game yesterday and now I am hooked!

1:50 am

Becks81

Can somebody tell me how the points work? I was reading posts before that you can only get 1000 points maximum per game?

1:50 am

mab

ah, another victim of babble. Welcome.

1:51 am

Becks81

But I'm at 905 points and only have 69 of a possible 212 words

1:53 am

mab

There's no limit to the points - it depends on the number and length of the words. Go to Angelsong's Babble page link at the right; it will tell you how many points, as well as give you a list of the first two letters of each word, and lots more.

2:02 am

Becks81

thanks mab that was really helpful

2:05 am

mab

Angelsong did a brilliant job on that page; glad you found it useful.

Happy prebirthday, Haz!

3:17 am

bex777

haz when is your birthday?

3:17 am

Haz1558

Thank you Deutsch - I tend to think of myself as being one year older than I really am so in my head I've been 48 for a while. It's less of a shock that way!

3:18 am

mrpresident

LOL haz... I have been 29 for years!!

3:18 am

Haz1558

It's May Day, Bex - they kindly gave the country a holiday in my honour....

3:19 am

Deutsch

My grandmother was 39 until the day she died! Just like Jack Benny, if anyone remembers him...

3:19 am

Haz1558

29 is a good age - not too old, not too young!

3:20 am

sherb

I'd settle for 39...

3:24 am

Haz1558

Mr P - was lickety cheered by people giving him their support for his clues page?

3:24 am

mrpresident

Hi Haz! Yes! He was so happy... and thank you!

3:25 am

Haz1558

That's good - at least he now knows that he is appreciated.

Haz, I thought it was an impolite way of referring to middle-age spread around the waist!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Well - if you eat enough of it, that's probably where it will settle!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Deutsch, have you found the word(s) yet?

no a2z so far... that's the measure of a good grid for me...

5:03 am

sherb

sudoku, on the other hand, is not good today...

5:05 am

I quite liked the sudoku today

5:08 am

sprite

I agree, Atalante!
Good afternoon, dear gang :)

5:08 am

Atalante

hi sprite!!

5:11 am

sprite

Nice size, this grid, looks promising. I hear there was a bit of a row yesterday, after I was stupid enough to let someone know she was too dogmatic to my taste? Never meant to cause so much fuss :(

5:12 am

sherb

now I''m getting a sudoku inferiority complex... at least there's Babble...

5:12 am

Haz1558

Sprite - it was not your fault! She was being unreasonable.

5:12 am

Atalante

urf. don't even worry about it sprite ... it wasn't exactly intentional, any of the fuss, was it!

5:13 am

sprite

Sherb, I have been stuck 3x with the sudoku. No genius here, only a persistant inability to give up.

5:13 am

sherb

you weren't the cause of it, sprite... it was a fight waiting to happen...

5:13 am

Atalante

and yes, she *was* being unreasonable!

5:13 am

lola100

Hi guys! Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. No time to play this morning, loads of things I need to get done first! : )

5:14 am

sprite

I remember the fuss about that T-creature troll and Mizu... should have kept my mouth shut. Sorry for the disturbence of the nice babble atmosphere.

5:14 am

sprite

Lola! :D
Hi right back at you and *hugs*

5:14 am

sherb

hi lola :D ...I have loads to do too, but I'm finding excuses not to do it...

5:15 am

Atalante

there are some thing you can't keep quiet about and feel happy about. the babble community is like any other, there's bound to be a few spats!

5:15 am

lola100

sprite, I read back through the log yesterday when I heard about the fuss. It was not your fault. Poor jacs was very upset and looking for a fight. It was going to happen eventually... : (

5:16 am

sherb

sprite - no, you shouldn't have kept your mouth shut... why should you!!

5:16 am

sprite

Ah well, I should be grown-up enough to know when not to open my big mouth. Glad you don't feel I was very unreasonable ;)

5:17 am

Lola, I couldn't agree more. We are a hugging family in a degree that makes some people sick, lol, but we are all unwilling to change that even one bit. Moooooooore hugs are needed in this world!

5:19 am

sherb

the funny thing is, it could have been an interesting conversation about Alzheimers if things hadn't got out of hand...

5:19 am

sherb

hear hear!!! {{{{{{hugs all round}}}}}

5:20 am

sprite

Sometimes I react badly to dogmatic statements, that's all. I should have been more aware of the mourning process involved, not have jumped up the barricades like that.

5:20 am

SunnFlower

Hi girls

5:20 am

hannah lou

can i have a clue 4 the io6 21 please

5:20 am

lola100

I agree sherb. Jacs could have got all the support (and more) that she was desperate for if she hadn't been so angry. I have learnt though that grief is actually sorrow and anger mixed : (

5:20 am

sprite

Hi ferrari :)

5:21 am

lola100

Hey ferrari! ...want some squeezy hugs?? : )

5:21 am

sherb

hi ferrari... I was just going to come over and get you, lol :D

5:22 am

Haz1558

Hannah - it's a science type word - add an anagram of si 4/5

5:22 am

sherb

sprite - me too, must be our logical minds... :)

5:23 am

hannah lou

thanx haz

5:23 am

sherb

if this had been the fist such incident, I might have been more understanding...

5:23 am

Haz1558

you're welcome!

5:24 am

lola100

oh dear, I just entered a word. Must go before I get sucked in! I will be back later, have fun everyone : )

5:24 am

sherb

now I know I'm an old Babble hack... I found the ta6/27 without the a2z...

5:25 am

Atalante

go sherb!

5:25 am

sherb

later lola :)

5:26 am

SunnFlower

I'm fine; just goes to show you can't make asumptions about other peoples cicumstances, there's always somebody worse or better off in all sorts of ways. Trouble was made unecessarily and not by you sprite at all, or me neither I think, I hope I wasn't unreasonable

5:26 am

SunnFlower

Hey Lola, (((hugs ))) back. lol

5:27 am

sherb

let's look on the bright side... I've never been called a stag antler before!!! :D

5:28 am

SunnFlower

That was funny sherb
Do you like my icon, it was an ecard for my birthday from my daughter, she's in Guatemala

5:29 am

Atalante

thats certainly original!

5:30 am

sherb

ferrari - it's beautiful... the only way it could be improved is if it was red... :D

5:31 am

sherb

just realised, you probably didn't mean the car... I've refreshed!!

5:32 am

SunnFlower

thanks sherb, really must go now, I'm late, I'm late...

5:33 am

sherb

bye ferrari... see you tomorrow :D (((hugs)))

5:33 am

bandm

Good evening! Hope this is as easy as the Sudoku today!

5:34 am

SunnFlower

I see what you mean now, pink elephants but not red; and definitely a red Ferrari is better than blue :)

5:35 am

Atalante

for sprite and anyone else interested ... 2 new random pics ...http://www.deviantart.com/d eviation/31424463/ and http://www.deviantart.com/view /31629700/

I have a sudden urge to draw something babble-esque

5:38 am

sherb

Atalante, they're beautiful :D ...I wish I could draw like that...

5:38 am

sherb

maybe you could incorporate a stag antler into your next picture, lol!

5:39 am

sprite

Sorry, was reading up on yesterday's log and am really surprised about the aggressiveness. I think I go with that earlier suggestion here, about grief being a mixture of anger and pain. Perhaps when you are deep in grief, you do feel like you are the only one who knows how that's like. Anyway, glad no one is mad at me ;)

5:40 am

Atalante

Sometimes you do feel like you are the only one who knows what something feels like ... but then again, you can also normally see - if explained - that other people have been there too, and could possibly help

5:44 am

sherb

you're both probably right... but bad temper is bad temper... and what did upset me was the attempt to send us all on a guilt trip...

5:48 am

sprite

I think the ff'ing and all is very unnecessary, especially here where everybody wants to understand and make people feel heard. But then again, grief can make people narrowsighted, we've all been there probably. Let's just stop about it and enjoy this beautiful babble day. I am going to take a look at Atalante's links, had to reboot first.

5:49 am

lynxxx

I think I am glad I missed all that 'feedback' yesterday...I don't need any more aggravation... and so, for a spot of relaxation, could some-one pls let me know how many 'a' s are here are today
Thnx

5:50 am

Haz1558

There are 10 a words.

5:50 am

sherb

lynx - there are 10 - 7 from the top row and 3 from the second... :)

5:51 am

Atalante

A's are NOT relaxation! LOL!

5:51 am

lynxxx

Thankyou

5:51 am

sherb

A's are distraction!!

5:51 am

sprite

Atalante, they are delightful! I am sure I see 'ywis' somewhere in that first one, lol.

5:52 am

Pyscho_Puppy

Any clues for do5/16 please? =(

5:53 am

Haz1558

6:24 am

movieman

karys - thanx, but I'm not convinced that's a word.....

Unless somewhere there's a cursing contest going on....LOL

6:24 am

cliffopa

i've noticed a few unpleasant words today. they jumped out at me. probably because my son dragged me to a very juvenile movie yesterday. "benchwarmers" it was stupid humor, but i ended up laughing through the entire film.

6:24 am

Karys

I agree....very strange word....but then what's new in babbleland !!

6:24 am

Jera

Good morning everyone! How goes the grid today?

Thanx, faerie.....

I tried looking for a pic of Arnie on his Harley from Terminator 2, but I wasn't successful.....

6:32 am

That would have been a great pic Movieman. Sorry you can't see mine. Or what once was mine.

6:32 am

capone

morning all

6:32 am

Jera

Speaking of nice motercycles... I know nothing at all about the (which is why I'm not participating today). BUT, it's my husband's fondest wish to have one again. How can I sneakily get him one keeping the surprise?? Is it a really personal thing & I should just get him a gift certificate let him go shopping? What sort of price range should I have? He's just a regular guy who would tool around for fun, not go to shows or do anything extreme or fancy...

6:33 am

movieman

Welcome, capone!!!!!

6:33 am

faeriekae

{{{Capone}}}

6:33 am

Karys

hi capone

6:34 am

faeriekae

Jera are you thinking of a Harley or did you have something else in mind?

6:35 am

Jera

He's not really a black leather knd of guy... a harley might be too extreme.

6:36 am

Jera

Maybe my own assumptions/prejudices are showing, which is why I'm asking for some objective help...

6:36 am

faeriekae

Jera - I know LOTS of business men how ride Harleys.

6:36 am

capone

/sigh

I have not done any puzzles since mid-week last week....hoping one day I'll log on and see like 10 extremely hard words..no luck. 8(

6:37 am

Jera

Are they expensive? They sound a bit too much, but again, myabe my ignorance is showing...

6:38 am

faeriekae

Yeah pretty pricey.

6:38 am

Atalante

well I've just put up a pic of the only motorbike I've ever been on ...

6:38 am

Atalante

6:42 am

Karys

I want 'studio' !!!

6:42 am

faeriekae

Jera - the Honda Shawod Spirit runs about 9k the honda deluxe about 6k and the rebel which is really nice bike runs about 4k all brand new pricing. So you should be able to get a used much cheaper.

6:42 am

Jera

Atalante... I forgot you ride... what is your opinion/recomendation on the matter? He used to have a bike, big enough to drive cross-country (when he was in the Navy). I don't want to spend a fortune unneccessarily, but I don want him to have something nice & cool...

6:42 am

faeriekae

Capone - just found out what your pic says LOLOLOL

6:43 am

Jera

That sounds reasonable, faeriekae... I could handle that range!

6:43 am

6:44 am

capone

yea, TSM love to chew on kitty ears...I lol'ed when my cat took a swing at her once.

6:44 am

Atalante

I don't really ... I wish I did more but we're back in the realms of husbands / partners not seeming to appreciate girls on bikes!! So I don't really know enough to say anything useful ... I just want a bike with a sidecar so I can put the dog in it and drive her around!!!!

6:44 am

Jera

Ooooh, faerie... I had no idea! Your name conjurs much more delicate images...

6:44 am

7:00 am

Jera

I don't think I know enough to buy one second hand... but if I went to a deal with 10, I could shop well?

7:01 am

faeriekae

Hi Mikey *wink*

7:02 am

sprite

My first time on a bike was when a friend let me try it on a parking lot. Made me drive a figure 8 and was impressed I could do it right away. After that I thought I had to try some speed... that wasn't a good thought, lol.

7:02 am

faeriekae

got something in my eye :) oh wait its candy LOL

7:02 am

sprite

Hi Mikey :)

7:03 am

Guten Tag, Mikey!!!!!

7:03 am

Atalante

7:04 am

Jera

He puts up with so much crap doing the family thing... he used to be a really cool guy... I just want him to have a taste of that again... not too big a taste, I don't want him to leave or anything, LOL

7:04 am

MikeyInBerlin

hi Candy, and faeriekae.....ja, right; putting candy in your eye, are you? seems a strange thing to be doing! :-P

7:04 am

faeriekae

Ata - hurry back.

7:04 am

MikeyInBerlin

guten tag, movieman; wie geht's? :-)

7:04 am

faeriekae

Mikey - It just seems to happen.....LOL

Jera

{{{Mikey}}} Guten Tag!

7:05 am

sprite

Especially with the heavier ones, a training is necessary, lol. I agree. Wasn't that wise at that age, though, I still thought I could do everything.

7:05 am

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; ok, faeriekae.....you're a strange one! :-/ hehe!

7:05 am

sprite

Enjoy Atalante ;)

7:05 am

MikeyInBerlin

hello, (((((Jera))))) :-)

7:06 am

faeriekae

Jera - I don't think you have to worry about that. But a bike would be awesome. Actually the Yamaha V twin 800 is a nice bike also and very inexpensive.

7:06 am

movieman

Ich bin sehr gut, Mikey....

Und du...?

7:06 am

faeriekae

Mikey -excuse me, you are calling me strange?

7:07 am

Froogle

Hi

7:07 am

faeriekae

Froogle - good morning :)

7:07 am

Jera

My first time on a bike was when my dad snuck me off for a ride... my mom had an absolute cow.

My second time was in college, with my boyfriend... he scared the bejabbers outta me! But in a fun way...

7:07 am

Jera

Thanks, faerie, I'll start there...

7:08 am

sprite

Hi Froogle!

7:08 am

MikeyInBerlin

well; you're the one putting candy in your eye, faeriekae.....call that 'normal', do you? ;-) lol

7:09 am

faeriekae

Jera - the Yamaha vtwin 500 was my first bike.

7:09 am

MikeyInBerlin

'und dir?' ja; es geht mir ganz gut danke, movieman! :-)

7:09 am

sprite

Can't see the candy in faeriekae's eye because of the chocolate bar in mine...

7:09 am

faeriekae

Mikey *blush*

7:09 am

Jera

*sits back as high school German starts oozing out of storage... nope, better not try it & make a fool of myself*

I know just enough German to get myself in trouble... only a bit more French. I took third year French & first year german the same year... that's when the horrible brain implosion happened...

7:09 am

Sprite LOL

7:10 am

Way too good, shorty, making me wanna dress in black drab and hide, LOL!

7:12 am

That's not a profile, it's an autobiography......LOL

7:12 am

shorty

why thank you!

7:14 am

MikeyInBerlin

ok, movieman; well.....now go read my yahoo profile, linked to there.....if you can? ;-)

7:14 am

Jera

I'm back... had to hide the grid so my husband wouldn't see the motorcycle talk... or as my daughter used to call it, motortickle...

7:15 am

Jera

*wonders why one would hide while dressed in black... maybe it's a witch thing to show off in black*

7:16 am

sprite

*puts on her witchy clothes and feels better immediately* ;)

7:17 am

sprite

I think Dr_God intentionally made the grid so that 'bursitis' isn't in there. That's a nice thing to NOT have. :)

7:17 am

MikeyInBerlin

why are you blushing now, faeriekae? :-P

7:18 am

faeriekae

When I lie I blush.

7:18 am

MikeyInBerlin

no, sprite; a lot of dancers end up with that

7:18 am

Jera

Mikey, just read your autobiography... we have much in common! My last name is Shadowdancer... mostly I sing, now though... the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak as they say. My cat Zack is a Main coon mix.

7:19 am

Jera

*is tantalized by ALMOST being able to spell witch in lower left corner*

7:20 am

shorty

have you guys noticed alot of these words go with motorcycles!!!

7:21 am

faeriekae

Shorty your right - hadn't even noticed until now.

7:22 am

Jera

Some of the ou words are making me think of Survivor...

7:22 am

MikeyInBerlin

Jera; i've never seen such a surname before, but mine is nothing like that.....and that doesn't necessarily mean you're a dancer, does it.....or are you, in any way?

7:23 am

Jera

I used to be... wheelchair make it difficult now...

7:24 am

shorty

Mikey I see you got your flag

7:25 am

Jera

Now I sing & make jewelry... my daughter dances, not ballet, though. She prefers tap & jazz & of course, celtic folk dance...

7:26 am

Jera

She's learning the Jacobite dance for the Gathering of the Clans we are going to this summer...

7:27 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, i'm so sorry, Jera; i didn't realize, had no idea! :-(

7:28 am

MikeyInBerlin

yes, shorty; Dr. God kindly whipped one up for me, which was nice of him!

7:29 am

shorty

that was very nice of him indeed

7:31 am

MikeyInBerlin

where do you sing, Jera; do you perform anywhere?

7:32 am

MikeyInBerlin

ja; sure was, shorty....very nice indeed! :-)

7:32 am

Rlee

any one able to help me with last word please.. re 7/36

7:34 am

Rlee....re7/36....where you lived

7:34 am

Jera

No problem, Mikey... it's my best friend & saves me lots of pain! I just do Community Theatre & weddings these days... used to have my own band, though!

7:38 am

Thanx all - can't believe I didn't see that one......

7:40 am

7:41 am

MikeyInBerlin

which costume, Jera? :-P

7:41 am

sprite

Lol, we've all been there, I am sure. I see 'ywis' as soon as I see the grid, but words like Re7 take hours to find. Babblipational hazard?

7:42 am

Jera

Something eye-candy-ish, preferably! ;>

7:42 am

MikeyInBerlin

Re/7.....means 'lived' or 'inhabited' :-)

7:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

Jera

I was whisking my poor kid off to school with no breakfast!

8:21 am

Angelsong

faerie, first we had an appointment for counseling; then we had to go pick up Dylan, but she had forgotten to leave the car seat for him so we had to go to her job to pick that up, then we picked up Dylan, then I had to log in for work. Finished the grid after work last night :)

8:21 am

Angelsong, I'm worn out just reading that...

8:21 am

At least you have your priorities right, Jera ;)

8:24 am

Jera

The worst part is not knowing... an offiicial diagnosis would actually make me feel better, it would explain a lot! Plus get him whatever help he needs because I'm barely coping, certainly not helping him

8:24 am

faeriekae

Jera - how is that going anyhow? I know you were talking about it a week or 2 ago.

8:25 am

Karys

8:27 am

bookgrrl

clues for either of the do 7s?

8:28 am

faeriekae

Jera - at least you will be able to find out something. I'm sure right now anything they tell is better than nothing at all. The not knowing has to be the hardest part. Because you have no idea what your dealing with.

8:29 am

bookgrrl

just got the do 7/36, so just need the 7/52

8:30 am

Haz1558

do7/52 - to be canine-like is the best way I can describe it.

8:30 am

Haz1558

The other do7/36 - plural of the preceding do6 - do plus French for late.

10:10 am

sherb

hi MAMA!!!! ...played this morning, but spent more time chatting that wordhunting... :D

10:10 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, ok MAMABEAR; but it's enough to keep switching back and forth between Lickety's page and this one, for now! :-P

10:11 am

rosalind230

shrink the screens and have them on screen together

10:13 am

cybernan

68 to go -- think I'm going to have to resort to the list today.

10:14 am

Angelsong

go6/24?

10:15 am

Haz1558

go6/24 is a medical condition relating to the throat

10:16 am

amandacath

That's a mean one - go6/24 - a sickness (I think lack of salt?) spelled wrong (and plural)

10:18 am

amandacath

not lack of salt, lack of what they put in salt so you don't get go6/24

10:18 am

Haz1558

It's spelled the British way! To do with over/under production of thyroid.

10:19 am

amandacath

Ok, ok - so it's not spelled *wrong*.... didn't mean to offend

10:20 am

Jera

Hey all, I'm back for more...

10:20 am

Haz1558

No, I wasn't offended - it was just so the American contingent could find it more easily!

10:21 am

MikeyInBerlin

thank you for that wonderful clue, Haz1558! :-)

10:21 am

stidmatt

Hi Jera!

10:21 am

sherb

hey Jera :)

10:21 am

Jera

I've picked up a lot of British ways from chatting here...-ise rather than -ize, -re rather than -er... now I'm weirder than ever to my mundane aquaintances...

10:21 am

TheDonster

well, you know us american.....if it aint from here...it aint RIGHT

10:22 am

Haz1558

You're not trying to say that Americans are insular, are you??

10:22 am

Jera

There's the Ugly American 'tude we are famous for, Donster, LOL

10:22 am

Merk

Haz, my right hand helper. Are you still here? I am stuck on two ba words, near the bottom of the lickety list, I think. the final ba 4,6 and two above it 6,24

10:23 am

TheDonster

WHAT..me? never....were just always right

10:23 am

Haz1558

The final ba4/6 is used in all sorts of games to hit balls with.

10:24 am

Jera

Yikes, 84 more words to go... guess I better go visit BA...

10:24 am

Merk

I have that stick, but I put it second to the last, So what is above that stick then?

10:24 am

Haz1558

ba6/24 - the most naked you can be (superlative for ba4/6)

10:25 am

Haz1558

Above that stick are places where people hang out and drink.

10:25 am

amandacath

Same with me, Jera - my spelling is all over the place nowadays!

10:25 am

Merk

I could I have missed naked as a jay bird.

10:25 am

Grim-Bigyen

re 7 36 ?
need help from some kind soul

10:25 am

Merk

So I must be missing the 4,6 between very naked and the stick used in games.

10:26 am

amandacath

Why are jay birds naked, anyway?

10:26 am

MikeyInBerlin

really stuck on 'do7,52' now :-/

10:26 am

sherb

re7 - used to live

10:26 am

TheDonster

Jera....I know. I just love poking fun at my own expence. after all the brits arent the only humorus ones!!

10:26 am

Haz1558

re7/36 - a polite way of saying 'lived in'

10:27 am

TheDonster

or is it humorous?

10:27 am

Haz1558

Or re7/36 - the fisherman gets his line ready again

10:27 am

amandacath

Mikey - like a canine

10:27 am

MikeyInBerlin

re7/36 'lived (at/in)'

10:27 am

Jera

We share a proud history with that 'tude... got it from the Brits who got it from the Romans... I love History... there is nothing new under the sun...

10:27 am

sherb

or humourous...?

10:28 am

Grim-Bigyen

no, it says i have used that.
i will look again
thanks

10:28 am

TheDonster

aint it da truth

10:28 am

Haz1558

humorous

10:29 am

MikeyInBerlin

used everything i can see/think of that way already, amandacath.....nothing's working :-/

10:30 am

Haz1558

do7 - first three letters as canine. Next letters, a word that can mean water rushing from a tap or someone talking over sweetly. Change the vowel.

10:30 am

bookgrrl

mikey--ending for word you're trying for is one way to pronouce 1st person singular in German...

10:30 am

TheDonster

Thanks Haz....I never could get used to the way the Brits use all the proper letters.

10:31 am

sherb

just pulling his leg ;)

10:32 am

Haz1558

With babble it pays to know all the possible ways of spelling a word!

10:33 am

amandacath

It took me a while too, Mikey - how 'bout silent-film-star-Lillian's pet?

10:33 am

bookgrrl

ending isn't ich, mikey, but a softer way of saying it...

10:33 am

MikeyInBerlin

10:36 am

bookgrrl

10:36 am

Atalante

Haz ROCKS!

10:37 am

MikeyInBerlin

hmm, Yvo??? i'm not stuck on the clue you think i am, it seems.....i have that 're' word already, long ago :-)

10:37 am

MikeyInBerlin

not quite, bookgrrl.....'ich spreche'

10:37 am

Yvo

sorry about that
guess i didnt read back

10:38 am

MikeyInBerlin

'ich spreche nur ein bischen Deutsch' it would be ;-)

10:38 am

bookgrrl

that was a typo...saw it after i hit enter...but thanks, mikey

10:38 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, ok bookgrrl :-)

10:40 am

Haz1558

Oh, thank you. Sorry, I was distracted there booking my daughter's flight back to university next week.

10:40 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks for all the help but one more still eludes me.
re 6 24 ?
not the angling one

10:40 am

cybernan

10:41 am

musicmom

Good morning - How is the grid today?

10:41 am

cybernan

re 6/24: put a worm on the fish hook again

10:41 am

Haz1558

The other re 6/24 - add an implement used in sport to hit a ball, then the circular vowel.

10:41 am

cybernan

Hi musicmom -- not too bad

10:41 am

MikeyInBerlin

that's ok, Yvo; thank you anyhow!!! :-)

10:42 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks haz

10:42 am

Haz1558

10:42 am

bluephlox

does anyone have a hint for the go 7?

10:42 am

musicmom

Sounds good cybernan. think I will take the plunge. didn't finish after is tarted yesterday.

10:42 am

amandacath

10:43 am

sherb

10:43 am

Haz1558

go7 is plural of the thyroid throat condition

10:43 am

bluephlox

10:46 am

bookgrrl

ru 6, anyone?

10:46 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it - it's pluralised for the 7 as well.

10:47 am

bookgrrl

nevermind...

i keep getting the word right after i ask for the clue today!

10:47 am

amandacath

bookgrrl - same as that elusive re6/24 - I have to think "Domo arigato, Mr. R*****" when I hear those two...

10:47 am

bluephlox

that was the best clue EVER!

10:47 am

Haz1558

ru6 - same ending as the re6/24 featuring the sporting implement. It looks like an instruction to scratch a foot digit!

10:49 am

bookgrrl

funny clues, both, amanda and haz!

10:49 am

Ouwachita

Just for you Hurshy....DONE...anyone need a clue??

11:03 am

musicmom

Ooops refresh. I was still wearing my avalanche from yesterday

Faerie - best-selling pickup ever, if I'm not mistaken...

11:04 am

Angelsong

first ta5/12?? I'm racing to finish before work. Help is welcome.

11:04 am

musicmom

I'm doing great. Yes. I just finished it yesterday. We went and got a hutch and an antique organ from my grandparents. It looks soo good!!!!

11:05 am

amandacath

Angel - nasty name for a mentally handicapped person?

11:06 am

faeriekae

Music - congrats on the big job done. I know you must be very happy to have that mess over and done with. And there is nothing like new/old furniture. I just got and Antique bedroom a week ago and I love it.

11:06 am

faeriekae

Amanda I didn't get the clue about the best pick up line ever????

11:06 am

musicmom

Thanks. this was by far the biggest home improvement project I had taken on to date. I'm ready to rest for a little while before starting another.

11:07 am

faeriekae

I bet you are. Such a mess.

11:07 am

musicmom

Inge's husband gave me some lily of the valley so I got those planted as well. I need to decide what kind of flowers I want to put on the front of the house. It gets full, strong morning sun.

11:07 am

amandacath

not pickup line, pickup truck!

11:08 am

faeriekae

Oh....that makes sense. Thanks Amanda.

11:08 am

musicmom

the sanding was the worst. A friend showed me how to use a nail gun to put the chair rail and baseboard back up. That was fun!

11:09 am

amandacath

Anything to help!

11:11 am

faeriekae

Nail guns are fun. I used one putting up my privacy fence. Actually I used to nailgun just to get them in place and then used a screw gun or what ever it is called. Works wonders huh. And yes the sanding is a terrible mess. Hope you wore a mask.

11:11 am

caitlyn

Hi all........

11:20 am

11:26 am

caitlyn

Faerie I have been asking about her but no one replies

11:26 am

faeriekae

Just wondering how she is feeling. She had been having some morning sickness I believe and Capone doesn't talk about it so thought someone might know.

11:27 am

Atalante

11:34 am

faeriekae

Jera have you heard from Toes?

11:34 am

musicmom

I have one that st6/27 that doesn't have a definition. Ends like an american made truck

11:34 am

caitlyn

ST + cons + british air force + vowel

11:34 am

musicmom

It can be past tensed.

11:35 am

Jera

11:50 am

faeriekae

Katie if you want to use your hampster its ok. I can hide the icons. No prob.

11:51 am

KatieMcG

No problem faerie - I just hope we never have a butterfly theme or I won't be able to post either.

11:52 am

stidmama

oh -- okay -- these itty-bitty icons make it hard to see sometimes. what are you shopping for?

11:52 am

faeriekae

Really - butterflies are your phobia? Angels is moths. So you too are in the same boat.

11:52 am

boreetos

good morning.

11:52 am

KatieMcG

Faerie - that's really kind but I like my dopey moose and I wouldn't stop anyone having fun with the icons, I'm just not technologically advanced enough to change mine every day!!

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

hi boreetos! : D

11:53 am

MikeyInBerlin

11:54 am

boreetos

im generally too lazy to change my icon eveyday.

11:54 am

KatieMcG

Stidmama I'm really tall so have had to order in extra long white jeans which I can pick up tonight. Don't know how long I will keep them clean at a time but always willing to give these things a go :)

11:54 am

caitlyn

Katie It took me a while to learn how to change the icon but i enjoy doing it now

11:54 am

faeriekae

Hey Mikey - how many words so far?

11:55 am

MikeyInBerlin

hey, katieW; there are no 'meese' in Britain!!! lol; i figure if the plural of 'mouse' is 'mice', then the plural of 'moose' should be 'meese', no? :-P

11:55 am

Krys10

is anyone else having trouble connecting to babble?

11:55 am

stidmama

how "really tall"? I'm really short -- only 5'3.5" I just cut the bottoms off all my pants!

and haven't successfully worn white in years...

11:55 am

Uneaixoise

one go6/30 is the plural of the go5 above it

11:55 am

boreetos

im having no difficulties.

11:55 am

MikeyInBerlin

well; i only have 130 words so far, faeriekae.....82 left to find yet! :-/

11:56 am

faeriekae

Mikey that is great. :) I only have 90 words so far myself LOL

11:56 am

MikeyInBerlin

Krys10.....an avid Scrabbler, are you? do you play Literati, by any chance??? :-) if so, i'm always looking to add people who like to connect for multiplayer games.....so you could always add me on yahoo messenger by the same username i have in here! :-)

11:57 am

musicmom

I finally have 102.

11:57 am

faeriekae

Katie I'm curious also on how tall you are? I'm 5'4"

11:58 am

KatieMcG

I'm just under 6ft

everyone knows the plural of Moose is Moosies - I went to Canada at Christmas and even got my Canadian relatives saying it!!

11:58 am

bluephlox

Uneaixoise- i'm afraid i'm missing that 5 too, any other advise?

11:58 am

faeriekae

Finished the do's. now to the dr's

11:58 am

stidmama

i have two words more and then i'll have 100 and will go ou 7/36...

11:58 am

Uneaixoise

the other go6 is the brit spelling of a neck growth

11:58 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol; i'm from Canada originally, KatieW.....i just live in my mom's birthplace and former hometown, now.....where i have lots of relatives! :-D

11:59 am

rycaut

4 left... all do's

11:59 am

bluephlox

there are 3 go 6's. i have the neck growth but that's the only one i have

11:59 am

Jera

Mikey, I forgot to mention that I play Literati as well... what name do you use?

11:59 am

faeriekae

I wish I had long legs :(

11:59 am

boreetos

i disagree, if we examine the wisdom of Brian Regan, the famed comedian, he states the following:
Ox, Oxen
Box, Boxen
Goose, Geese
Moose, Moosen

12:00 pm

faeriekae

Boretos - LOLOL

12:00 pm

boreetos

it makes perfect sense.

12:00 pm

KatieMcG

boreetos lol :) I like your logic

12:00 pm

stidmama

i think it would be nice to be tall -- reach cabinets without standing on a chair... but then, it's less of a distance to fall when I venture onto skiis. :-)

12:00 pm

Uneaixoise

it's a 'vegetable' that grows on a vine usually in the fall . . . go5 comes in many shapes and colors--they're very decorative

12:00 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ok; anyone here who wants to add me on yahoo messenger to connect for literati games can either add me by the same username i have in here right now, or else 'mikey4literati', which is just an alias of my main yahoo account, anyhow! ;-)

12:01 pm

faeriekae

Good point Stidmama...:)

12:01 pm

MikeyInBerlin

mikeyinberlin@yahoo.de is the main account

12:01 pm

bluephlox

thank you! that helped a lot!

12:01 pm

Uneaixoise

yw :-D

12:01 pm

stidmama

one more word...

*squinting eyes at grid*

12:02 pm

caitlyn

faerie its not always good to have long legs it takes ages shopping because short people ask you to pass things from high shelves for them!! Im 5.8

12:02 pm

faeriekae

Hi Blue :)

12:02 pm

KatieMcG

I love being tall now but no so much fun when I was 13. I always get called upon in supermarkets for reaching stuff, which makes you think that at least you have helped someone in the day.

12:02 pm

bluephlox

hi faerie :)

12:03 pm

Atalante

I'm 5'8" as well. I dont mind now, but I hated being tall as a kid!

12:03 pm

KatieMcG

caitlyn - At least I know it's not just me now

12:03 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ok, i'm horribly stuck.....the 1st of the 2 'to5,12' words, 3 spaces up from the bottom of that section, anyone? :-/

12:03 pm

bluephlox

I'm 5'9" and i love it. although i'm taller than my husband in some heels

12:03 pm

faeriekae

Caityln - Wow - I don't know I think I could handle it. I have long waist line so I think long legs should fit nicely :)

12:03 pm

musicmom

WAhhhhhh I'm 5'1" (1.5") on a good day<g>

12:03 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, KatieW; i know that feeling.....i'm 188 cm (6' 2") :-P

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Im from a tall family my youngest brother is 6.4

12:04 pm

faeriekae

Is everyone here tall except for me and Stidmama? Whats up with that?

12:04 pm

rycaut

done!

12:04 pm

Deutsch

Hi everyone and what a coincidence!
A friend just emailed and is worried about her daughter who is a trim third grader. Unfortunatley, she's a head taller than her friends. My friend is 6 ft, and understands, but her daughter is still not coping well.

12:04 pm

musicmom

I'm the shrimp of us all it seems.

12:04 pm

MikeyInBerlin

sorry, faeriekae; shall i take myself in at the knees a bit? :-P

12:05 pm

stidmama

as a vertically-challenged person, I am officially thanking each and every person who is 5'6 and over for all the help over the years... ;-) ((hugs))

12:05 pm

boreetos

since when is "Eggo" not a word. I've been legoing them for years.

My last partner was smaller than me so I just wore the heals anyway. Always good when I walk into meetings with heals on as almost everyone is smaller.

12:05 pm

i dont mind being 5'2'' ish........when i have my 5'10" partner to cuddled into...

12:05 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, musicmom; i guess we wouldn't see 'eye to eye' really....more like eye to....kneecap? ;-) hehe!

12:06 pm

faeriekae

Ok Music how tall are you?

12:06 pm

MikeyInBerlin

well, i'm far from 'perfect', faeriekae; and are you winking at me??? :-o oh my!!!

12:06 pm

faeriekae

Or how short are you?

12:07 pm

musicmom

I'm 5' 1"

12:07 pm

KatieMcG

Tell your friend's daughter to hold her head up tall. If she tries to stoop to look smaller she will just look like a tall person trying to look small, if she stands up straight she will look really elegant. As for boys, they catch up eventually.

12:07 pm

faeriekae

Mikey - did I wink? Just an eye twitch :)

12:07 pm

musicmom

My husband is 5'10"

12:07 pm

boreetos

I was 5'-1" when I graduated high school, am 5'-10" now, had a bit of a late growth spurt.

12:08 pm

MikeyInBerlin

warum heisst du 'Deutsch', Deutsch?

12:08 pm

faeriekae

Music - my niece Kim '38 yrs old' is exactly 5' and she thinks she is the shortest woman on earth. Short is good.

12:10 pm

musicmom

Faerie - I'll be 37 next week so I don't think I'll be growing any more<g> Yoga helps stretch me a litte<g> At least, that's what I tell myself. Short has it's advantages but I imagine it is as hard to buy pants for extremely tall as well as extremely short.

12:10 pm

boreetos

best comic ever. Just got the box set this past Christmas. :)

12:10 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree, boreetos!

12:10 pm

Mikey, it's a college nickname. naturally, I was taking Deutsch at the time. But I'm rusty now.
My nickname was so ingrained, some people thought it was really a part of my name. Even professors called me deutsch LOL

12:11 pm

faeriekae

Yeah - why can't we just all be happy with the size/height we are huh? I guess I'm happy with myself I have no choice. I work out and I am who I am.

12:12 pm

http://de.profiles.yahoo. com/mikeyinberlin

12:16 pm

Jera

The first to5/10 = plural of to4 above it... usually a y after it in English, for someone who acts all fancy & full of themself...

12:16 pm

pthomp

you can always tailor pants that are too long... not so if you are tall.

12:17 pm

Deutsch

thanks, Mikey, that will be very helpful!

12:17 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ja; too true, pthomp.....unless you want to add material to the bottom of the cuffs :-/

12:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, Deutsch; not sure how 'helpful' it will be, if you can't read it all.....but still, good practice anyhow, i'm sure! ;-)

12:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

what's also known as a 'timber wolf'

12:54 pm

No sunflowers - for some reason I hate the way they look. I enjoy the seeds though:-). I will look at gloriosa. Thanks.

Thor's nice, GW; a very quiet, placid, reserved but very gentle creature.....he has that natural timidity they have, but will gradually and eventually approach you, once he's sized you up from further away, and decided you're safe enough! :-)

di 6/36 is past tense of making a hole in the ground

12:59 pm

Atalante

12:59 pm

MikeyInBerlin

i have a photo of Thor on my computer actually, GW; get me on the messenger, and i'll show you :-) he's gorgeous!!!

3:47 pm

faeriekae

Stidmama-I will - I can't begin to imagine.

3:47 pm

Karys, training role or senior admin. I'm finding that 21 years experience is scaring potential employers away : /

3:47 pm

lola100

Anj??

3:48 pm

Karys

I can imagine Anj...too clever for the rest...a potential threat !!!

3:49 pm

Anj

Sorry babe, missed that post. Yes, please do : )

3:49 pm

Karys

what line you going for Anj ?

3:50 pm

Anj

Karys, it's the salary that's the issue. They know they have to pay for that experience, but they run shy before asking ME what I would be happy with : /

3:50 pm

sonipitts

go 6/24?

3:51 pm

Karys

what do you do Anj ?

3:51 pm

Karys

soni....big swelling ...usually on neck

3:52 pm

Anj

Karys, training & development but I specialised in product specification rather than softer skills so I'm a technical trainer really.

3:52 pm

mrpresident

I would be happy with $250,000 + a car,and 12 weeks annual leave and an assistant!! (and complete 24hour access to the stationary cupboard)

3:52 pm

Karys

in what field Anj ?

3:52 pm

sonipitts

curses! foiled again by alternate spellings. TY! :-)

3:53 pm

Karys

ok MrP....now ...welcome to the real world !!!

3:53 pm

Merk

Is there a clue for "st" 8/55?

3:54 pm

Anj

Karys, Financial Services. Specialised in pensions and given the tax simplification that's just been passed I would have thought they would be screaming out for my line of work...

3:54 pm

sonipitts

st 8/55 - strengthened

3:55 pm

Anj

Mr P, I would be happy with anything just now, lol. Although unlimited expenses, full IT support, a psorty company car and hot & cold running PAs would be nice... } )

3:55 pm

Karys

absolutley Anj...have you thought about teaching or (sorry) social work ?

3:56 pm

Merk

This is a normal English word st 8/55. Nothing Scottish or medieval?

3:56 pm

lola100

Anj! No sexy pa's for you! : D ...but can I have siggi if you get the company car?? } )

3:56 pm

sonipitts

english, yes. heavily used, I think not.

3:57 pm

stidmama

hi mrp! how's the weather in NSW? I have been doing some reading (never knew folks in Australia before) and learned that there are mountains with snow! how come the tourist boards don't advertise that?

3:57 pm

CATHB

mr p - cant help with the salery,car,holidays or an assistant - but the stationary cupboard is another matter !!

3:57 pm

Anj

Karys, don't you need a phd or something to teach? Social work is an option, but I prefer the business sector really.

3:57 pm

mrpresident

Oh Anj... I have all that anyway!! But not the $250,000 paycheck! Wish my business was more supportive on THAT level!! LOL

3:58 pm

CATHB

i cant spell either :(

3:58 pm

sonipitts

od 5?

3:58 pm

Karys

Anj...as a carer...I have the services ( albeit occaisonal) of a 'social' worker...he works for social services here..but in afct he is much more...he sorts out all the things I should have and should be claiming etc..etc

3:59 pm

faeriekae

ou 8/65 please...

3:59 pm

Anj

Karys, i'm not even sure what I could claim, lol, let alone anyone else. : )

4:00 pm

lola100

babe, I'm starting to feel invisible :' (

4:00 pm

mrpresident

stid... tourist boards don't advertise the snow because we don't have the accomodation for all the tourists... it is a far cry from the US or Canada!! believe me!!

4:00 pm

Karys

me neither Anj....thats why i need him !!

4:00 pm

Anj

Lo, Siggi stays whatever : ) I will buy you a matching Siggi though : )

4:01 pm

Angelwings

4:02 pm

stidmama

oh --that's too bad! because the info I saw about kosciuscko park in the mountains looked really neat with all the xc trails and all! there is so much history there that I never knew about -- makes the U.S. "old we 4" feel a little less peculiar.

4:03 pm

cliffopa

should have said: st 8/55 = s + fecal tu 4/6 + he L*** to his wife about where he was last nite.

4:03 pm

lola100

Woot! Can I have a red one babe?? } )

6:37 pm

6:37 pm

Angelsong

Mikey, try refreshing...if that doesn't work, for the word you're missing, which letter does it begin with?

6:37 pm

cliffopa

by the way, thanks for those di clues babblers. got it now.

6:38 pm

evanonut

it may well worry you, that a stranger miles away would think of you at that time in the morning, but who knows what makes the gear turn around that time. any whoo, i figured out why i'm so fond of your name, would you care to know?

6:38 pm

cliffopa

please please, why so fond?

6:40 pm

evanonut

why it reminds me of cheers, and cliff the postal guy. poor cliff, every time norm entered the bar he was greeted with a big hearty norm, but cliff, no one noticed really.

i think from now on, i'm always going to give you a big cliff greeting - not norm, cliff!

6:40 pm

scatty

mikey, did you do the wr5 word

6:42 pm

scatty

MIKEY, have you finished yet

6:42 pm

cliffopa

excellent nut! i loved cheers. espcially because there was a cliff. it happens to be part of my surname - my siblings and i were all called cliff, cliffy, or cliffie. a few called me clifford the big red dog when i dyed my hair red in high school. didn't bother me though....at least they noticed me :)

6:46 pm

MikeyInBerlin

6:46 pm

Charm

2nd to4/4 - v. to carry around or n. the bag you sling over your shoulder to carry things around.

He did tell me he was in great pain just yesterday I believe and I thought he was talking about his gout and I told him to see a doctor and he replyed that his ankles were doing better it something else that he did not want to discuss in Babble. So I knew right away she must be having problems. I e-mailed her today and bless her heart she said today was the first day she had even turned her computer on. And she was going back to the doctor this afternoon because she is still having a lot of bleeding.

Welcome to the insanity BGL! Finish a puzzle? Hope I live to do that. Have been playing for almost 2 years now and have yet to complete one. I think I have a life away from this! I only compete with myself and can't remember the last time I checked my stats. Paid my "pro" money & takes my chances--at least now I know which squares in the grid are used to start words! Before that it was really challenging trying to use letters for which there were no words! As if you need more of a challenge with this *#@%! game! Enjoy!

9:13 pm

Douglas

most of them begin with re no doubt...

I really like "Into the Woods" by sondheim -- it's weird and compelling; Phantom (I actually saw it when it was in Portland, OR) was beautifully staged; Almost anything with lyrics by Lorenz Hart or Irving Berlin (old-fashioned and corny, but sweet)...; and of course Richard Rodgers' music is so singable that nearly anything he wrote is good by me! I also like Gershwin, but his intervals are harder for me to get...

10:29 pm

Douglas

The letters seem to be smushing together, and everything I try is either not a word, or something I already have...murmul murmul murmul...

10:30 pm

HollyBug

Where are you from, Doug sir...?

10:30 pm

NatLT

if anyone want to help me out, I could use some clues for the first 5 re's on the list (the 5, 6's and 7's)

10:30 pm

Douglas

I want goiter and idiot to be in the grid...

10:31 pm

10:31 pm

HollyBug

10:32 pm

Douglas

48...bat dog?

10:33 pm

HollyBug

It should be a word.

That's all I'm saying. :o)

10:33 pm

Douglas

oh, I get it...yes indeed!

10:34 pm

HollyBug

I should sleep sometime.

10:34 pm

HollyBug

sometime.

10:35 pm

HollyBug

I'm absolutely going to class tomorrow. Oh yes.

10:35 pm

Douglas

You don't understand, if you're interested in sleeping, you're in the wrong place...

10:36 pm

Douglas

What class are you taking, Hollybug?

10:36 pm

HollyBug

I'm aware.

10:36 pm

HollyBug

The grid will flip and I will be in for another hour... at least.

10:37 pm

HollyBug

I'm taking a Logic Class... a Special Event Management Class... a Psychopharmacology class... and I'm doing an internship.

10:37 pm

abe79

10:38 pm

Douglas

special event as in "psychotic episode?"

10:38 pm

Uneaixoise

st6/21--add vowel at end of st5 word just above

10:39 pm

abe79

um, i think i'm missing the st 5 too :(

10:40 pm

Uneaixoise

st6/27 rhymes with do5/18

10:41 pm

HollyBug

Fundraisers, etc.

10:41 pm

Uneaixoise

ok then you need st5/12, which is an anagram of to5/12

10:41 pm

HollyBug

Though your rendition is close to accurate of most events that require the type of planning I am learning to do.
It's an elective, however. My major is Sociology.

10:42 pm

HollyBug

I'm taking it because I want to work for non-profits... and I think that having the ability to organise fundraisers and events might be a good resume builder.

10:42 pm

abe79

uneaixoise- thank you SO much. i've been struggling with that one for hours!

10:43 pm

Uneaixoise

yw!

10:43 pm

Douglas

I can see that a sociology major could come in very handy regarding identifying emerging cultural trends.

10:44 pm

HollyBug

In reality, I'm just bad at math and science... and I don't want to take a bunch of writing classes. :oP

10:44 pm

Douglas

I want Geddy (Lee), the bass player from Rush, to be in the grid...

10:45 pm

Douglas

But you have to know a little statistics, do you not?

10:47 pm

Douglas

There was a NYT crossword where the clue was "Deal in sweet tu 6/27?" and the answer was "TRAFFIC YAMS"

10:48 pm

HollyBug

I do, indeed. I toughed it through sociological stats... and I kicked some statistical tail. yay Holly.

10:51 pm

NatLT

Marc Freeman

Need a clue for io6/21

11:51 pm

scatty

Hi smiley face

11:51 pm

stidmama

yes, though I am not much of a foul-weather person -- when it rains, or is too cold (less than about 13), I stay indoors! Luckily, most of the time our weather is pretty decent!

11:52 pm

NatLT

it's what they do to salt, but use an s not a z

11:52 pm

stidmama

io 6/21: if salt has a particular element added (used to avoid go 7/36), it is io****d [british spelling]

11:53 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks all got it

11:55 pm
