How's things going sprite?

5:20 am

Slowly in the right direction. I must learn to take it one step at the time and be satisfied with that, not wanting to rush and push myself beyond the limits and pay the price afterwards. Kind of learning to walk again, lol, but I am learning. Thanks for asking :)
How are you doing?

5:21 am

5:25 am

dalmatian5

All but one of the ol's start with the same first three letters. All of them are related and are chemical words.

5:27 am

sprite

Thanks FMitch :)
Yes, it is all about learning to have patience with oneself, which is incredibly difficult at times. I used to get everything done on willpower alone. Now I am paying the price and I must learn to find another way. It's an interesting challenge ;)

5:34 am

Waldo is just north of Gainesville FL. (I used to live in Starke, which is north of Waldo.)

8:41 am

capone

Waldo is a little hick town located on 301 between Jacksonville and Gainesville before you hit I-75. We always cut through the chain (Lawtey, Starke, Waldo, etc) as opposed to going I-10 West to I-75 south, more scenic.

8:42 am

Jen

Ah, now Starke I know! Growing up in Tally, we pretty much went north when we travelled (like up to Atlanta), rather than south.

8:43 am

gwenski

I worked in Gainesville and lived in Starke for four years. Each weekday, I drove through Waldo. In all that time, I was stopped only once in Waldo, and got off with a warning.

8:44 am

Jen

This is only my 2nd ticket ever, but I made it a doozy! LOL

8:45 am

inge

Good morning everyone. Is there an error in the Lickety list.? I have a 5letter ea word but no 6/18. Is there also a ea 6/18?

8:45 am

gwenski

Well, if something is worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT! Just be prepared for a surcharge to be added to your insurance.

8:45 am

inge

Never mind. Found my error.

8:46 am

musicmom

i'm not sure inge.

8:46 am

aknitter

aknitter

i can just picture martha chasing a rabbit around her tv studio holding a knife and fork (pinkie properly crooked of course)

GM Everyone! I'm new to this, doing okay, but trying to catch on to the lingo (i.e. en6/21) Any suggestions?

9:42 am

Haz1558

Welcome! The best advice is to click on Angelsong's babble page (under Friends of Babble) and you'll find lots of information there.

9:43 am

Sdctrs2UrSoul

nm, goes wtih the stats board only pro users have, correct?

9:43 am

Sdctrs2UrSoul

ty Haz

9:44 am

Haz1558

9:45 am

faeriekae

Sdcts - you should be able to access Angelsongs Resource page scroll down to rules of game and read that then under links click on 2 letter word list and take Licketys Babble clues. Great info. in there

9:45 am

FMitch

en6/21 = en 1st & 2nd letters then number of letters in the word and then the total point value. It's the way we talk about words and ask for clues.
As Haz says, do have a look at Angels pages, they are full of hints and tips.

9:58 am

hurshy

o'chita - it's not old, it's normal...starts with a c

10:23 am

faeriekae

Oh Hurshy - I don't know....

10:23 am

sonipitts

sudden numbness on one side can be sign of a stroke, but I don't know that the same is true for both legs. Could be a circulatory thing. What's she been doing?

10:25 am

she hasn't been doing anything weird...if it were right after she got up i'd think she slept in a funny position maybe but it's not

10:25 am

Charm

bunnyvicious - it's the 5th.

10:25 am

hurshy - she should go to the doctors...too much speculation on what it could be might freak her out...better to know that the doc can run necessary tests, etc.... {{{hurshy}}}}

10:25 am

abe79

hurshy, without getting too personal, birth control pills can sometimes cause numbness in legs. i'm no doctor, but i have been told that by a few

10:25 am

Hurshy - she is in a car driving???

10:26 am

hurshy

she's not on birth control... i hope she can drive to the doctor

10:26 am

sonipitts

She should go to the doc. Call a cab if neccessary.

10:26 am

hurshy

YES! it's scaring me.

10:27 am

TELL HER TO GET OFF THE PHONE AND CALL 911!!

10:27 am

faeriekae

Tell her to get off the road right now...

10:27 am

Have there been any clues for the in 10/77 ... a clue to the base word after the suffix or something.

10:27 am

Pyscho_Puppy

Any clues for ar5/12?

10:27 am

sonipitts

in 10/77 = burn up

10:27 am

hurshy

she's in the middle of a traffic jam

10:27 am

abe79

merk in 10- a verb. something you can do with garbage

10:28 am

faeriekae

in 10 to burn clue given earlier

10:28 am

bunnyvicious

ar 5/12 - ar + rearrange the letter for frozen water

10:28 am

faeriekae

then she needs to dial 911 right away.

10:28 am

sonipitts

yes, get her off the road, call a friend or the hospital or something. Could just be a pinched nerve, but if she can't feel to brake a pinched nerve is as bad as it needs to be to be a serious problem.

10:28 am

Pyscho_Puppy

Thanks.

10:29 am

hurshy

i'm telling her to get off the road ASAP

10:30 am

hurshy

she has a friend who is a nurse... once i know she's safely off the road i think she'll call her.

10:30 am

rosalind230

Hurshy she needs to asap.

10:30 am

Merk

Beautiful clues, thanks so much

10:31 am

sonipitts

see if she can get out and maybe stand against the car when she pulls over. if she's been sitting in traffic, they could have just gone to sleep, especially if she's been hunching or doesn't get a lot of exercise to begin with.

ty spellit, I'll work on em!

10:33 am

hurshy

it started before she got in the car - i don't know why she would drive in those circumstances!!! anyway she's pulled over now and i've told her to call nurse friend and/or her doctor and ask what to do and then let me know what's happening.

10:34 am

hurshy

thanks all.

10:34 am

{{{Hurshy}}} Thank God she is off the road.

yikes hurshy -- ill keep your sister in my thoughts!
hopefully its not anything serious!

10:35 am

hurshy

i do worry about her health, she eats so much junk

10:36 am

abe79

best of luck, hurshy, keep us posted

10:36 am

hurshy

i will - thanks, you guys are always so great

10:36 am

sonipitts

I share your concern, hurshy, hubby's the same way - sugary cereal, white bread, candy, soda, chips...the works. Makes me sick with worry sometimes.

10:36 am

faeriekae

I was in the car with my Sis Linda (she was driving) when her blood sugar dropped and she nearly scared me to death. She passed out at the wheel of the car. But I managed to get us off the road safely and gave her juice and peanutbutter crackers when I got her to come to.

10:36 am

hetty

psychopuppy-think of a rain container minus its last stick. Or, if you have ba6, take away its last letter.

10:37 am

sonipitts

XXXXXXX - lots of crossed fingers and toes - hoping for a simple pinched nerve or low blood pressure.

10:39 am

hurshy

well i'm glad it wasn't any worse faerie!

10:40 am

faeriekae

Hurshy - she keeps juice and peanut butter cracker in her car at all times so thank goodness I knew what to do. I just hope it is not serious with your Sis. She is in my thoughts and prayers. As well as you Hon I know you must be worried sick now.

10:41 am

hurshy

thanks faerie. i'm not TOO worried since i know she's off the road now and i told her whatever she does not to drive again. get friends to come get her or a cab if she has to.

10:42 am

faeriekae

Thats good. I just hope she listens to you and doesn't try driving again.

10:43 am

hurshy

she won't.

10:43 am

hurshy

i mean she won't drive... she will listen :)

10:43 am

faeriekae

ok

10:44 am

faeriekae

sounds like the two of you have a pretty good relationship. That is always nice.

10:45 am

hurshy

i have 2 great sisters. this one is the youngest - she just graduated college last year and we've started getting closer since. i'm really glad she now seems to turn to me for help... the other day she had a financial crisis and she called me then too

10:48 am

faeriekae

That is really nice. I have 6 sisters and we are all pretty close for the most part. I'm actually closer to the ones closest to my age than the older ones but thats alright. The older ones seem more like Aunts to me for some reason probably because they were already grown up and married by the time I was born LOL My olders Sis is 70 (half sis) and the one closest in age to me is 49.

10:49 am

hurshy

that sounds like my dad's family, he's the 3rd of 9 (makes him sound like a borg, i know)

10:50 am

Pyscho_Puppy

I have no sisters. =( I have an awesome brother though, and foster kids come in and out of my life all the time, so not lonely. But still wish I had a sister...

10:50 am

faeriekae

My Dad had one daughter before marring my Mom then togather they had 8 so...Mom was preggo from the time she was 17 until she was 42.

10:51 am

hurshy

that's a lot of preggo! on the plus side... not many periods.

10:51 am

EasternBlue

I have 4 sisters...I always wanted a brother - altho one sister has been with her husband since I was 13 - so it was sort of like an older brother!!! : )

10:52 am

faeriekae

Psycho - foster children can make great friends. But I know it doesn't make up for no Sis :(

10:53 am

faeriekae

LOL Hurshy - I'll tell her that. See if she can find the humor in it. She is a wonderful woman 88yrs young.

10:54 am

faeriekae

EB - I have 2 bros and didn't like either of them until I finally grew up. LOL

10:54 am

Pyscho_Puppy

They are cool...some are a bit disturbed, but I think it's made me more compassionate as a person, growing up in that environment. Also, it's sad when they leave and you often never hear from them again. But it's great making a difference to people's lives.

10:55 am

FMitch

I'm an only child and can't imagine what it would be like to have siblings.
Also am from a fairly small family so few cousins and they don't live locally.
Isn't life interesting!!!

10:55 am

movieman

*Joins in with the conversation*

I'm one of two "children" (if you want to call my sister & me that)......

My sister is 31 (32 in September), married (she went to the same school as her husband), and is a nurse at the local health centre......

She also happens to be one of the nicest and most supportive people I have ever had the good fortune to have in my life.......

10:55 am

faeriekae

Psycho-My Sis Joann has 4 children of her own and fosterd for about 10yrs. Turned into a nightmare for her. So I know about the disturbed.

10:56 am

EasternBlue

Fmitch - I couldn't imagine not having sisters!! life is funny!!

10:57 am

faeriekae

{{{FMitch}}} you have one Sis and no Bro...awwwww
well thank goodness you have all of us.

10:57 am

FMitch

movieman - that is a lovely thing to say about yr sister!

10:57 am

faeriekae

excue me no Sis and no Bro

10:57 am

ch1212

(joining in) I come from a 'well divorced' family, so I actually have 1 half brother, 2 stepsisters, 5 stepbrothers... and my half brother only has 1 half sister, 1 stepsister, 1 step bro. But we all call ourselves siblings, even though we weren't raised together.

10:57 am

Pyscho_Puppy

Yeah Faerie, some of them can be a lot of hard work. My family have fostered for 24 years now. My dad was fostered as a kid and had a really horrible experience - he wanted to make sure at least some kids had a good time in care.

10:58 am

faeriekae

Movieman - you sound like a good Brother *grin*

10:58 am

Charm

I have one sister. She refuses to admit she will be 37 this year, mostly because she's dating someone a couple of years younger than her. She looks like she is in her 20s - seriously. She's one of the smartest people I know (but her sense of humor could use a bit of tweaking!).

Hate to interrupt - LOVE hearing about everyone's families. Any clue on the TE8? Thanks.

10:58 am

movieman

Exactly, FMitch, I mean apart from my mother & father, she has been the most supportive towards me ever since I was diagnosed with Asperger's 7 years ago......

10:58 am

ch1212

gee, rosalind, taking a cue from hurshy, what would a twin be in borg-speak? :)

10:59 am

FMitch

before we all melt into too much of a babble fest ((((((big babble hug))))) to all babble buddies.

10:59 am

faeriekae

ch-you got me confused. So it is a good thing you guys just call yourselves siblings. LOL

11:03 am

well... the borg are these half-organic half-machine collective conscious group...they are not really even a race because they assimilate other races, so a borg could have been anything originally. they're real scary.

11:03 am

hursh - indeed they do!! I love 'em all!! 8 D

11:06 am

ch1212

rosalind, adding to hurshy's explanation -- when a borg identifies themself, they indicate their numerical designation in the collective... such as "7 of 9" ... so I was wondering what a borg twin would be called :D

11:06 am

faeriekae

EB - I'm the youngest in my family so with 6 sisters they taught me everything I could ever want to know and of couse things that I never should have know. LOL

11:07 am

rosalind230

11:07 am

ch - it's only our human way of thinking that makes twins have a special relationship - i bet they'd just be like any other members of the collective :)

good point, hurshy

i specialized in borg psychology at the academy

11:09 am

bunnyvicious

Hurshy, I'll let you experiment with mine, see if you can get em to clean their room after you add them to the collective, would ya?

11:09 am

movieman

Also, I'm part of a rather large family, (my mother was 1 of 5 children), so I have lots of cousins but, like FMitch, none of them live locally.....

11:09 am

gotta run...catch you later!!!

11:09 am

well, they would no longer have rooms, just regeneration pods, bunny

I need to get some lunch and run a couple of errands so I'll be back a little later on.

I'm sure your instructor studied under Picard at some point -- there is noone with more insight.

11:11 am

FMitch

... and from that you can tell I have Trekie ish tendancies

11:11 am

hurshy

but bunny, if your children were borg, then they would try to assimilate you too, and that's no fun

11:12 am

hurshy

absolutely ch - talk about going where no one has gone before!

11:12 am

bunnyvicious

hmmm, I dunno, I doubt Borg's could be nearly as messy and hectic as a house with five kids, and of course the sixth, my husband.....

11:13 am

rosalind230

bye fraerie

11:13 am

FMitch

just had a thought, could we get the borg to ascimilate the enable dictionary - therefore making it work for the collective i.e. us (so we get decent words etc etc) LOL

11:13 am

hurshy

well borgs are anything but messy and hectic, true... but... they are no fun

11:13 am

beazus

br 8/50 ?

11:14 am

bunnyvicious

but...would Borg's be allowed to Babble????

11:14 am

hurshy

absolutely not. babbling is futile.

11:15 am

bunnyvicious

the br 8 works off of the br 7 before it, more of br 4/6

11:15 am

ch1212

br 8/50 = more of br 7

11:15 am

*sigh* don't have br 7 yet either ...working backwords.

11:16 am

actually fmitch - seems to me the inconsistencies of the enable dictionary might be a way to bring down the collective!!!

11:16 am

bunnyvicious

the br 7 has the same ending as the ta 6/18

11:17 am

oooh hurshy - you are way ahead of me there, yr on a roll.

Can anyone assist me with the words from the 4th row.....

Either they're really obscure, or they're really obvious and I'm just having an off day....

Lmao. It's a new word. Still in trial stages. Haha. It is awful though..

11:35 am

Living alone can suck when it comes to eating. I don't like to cook for just ME. So I eat burgers and mac and cheese alot. Or somedays I just don't eat at all.

11:36 am

hurshy

yes movie - that's why i said oh how fishy!

11:36 am

Could have something to do with why I'm so skinny. Not healthy skinny, just boney skinny.

Hi Boreetos :)

11:40 am

fa 4/7 is a homonym of the word meaning ' to
fake'

11:40 am

hurshy

bunny...try peanut butter chicken. it's yum-oh. saute garlic and chicken in oil, add chicken stock or broth and simmer with a bay leaf. add enough peanut butter to make it nice and thick. you can put in whatever veggies you want, broccoli goes well. serve with rice.

11:41 am

bunnyvicious

be 6/24 - small cap (builds off b4 before it)
be 6/24 - at a funeral, pall be6 ( build off b4 before it)

be 6/24 - name, Tony Be****

Hurshy - was just wondering about that I could use the crunchy peanut butter. I'll dig out my recipe for "peas and peanuts" for you sometime. It is more of a salad but is very good. And I don't like peas.

11:59 am

stidmama

*chucklling in anticipation*

11:59 am

men wear clothes because nobody wants to see them naked. women wear clothes because men always want to see them naked.

12:00 pm

stidmama

hurshy -- you are lucky my 13 is in the kitchen, or i would have to scold you... ;-)

(males are so sensitive)

12:00 pm

12:24 pm

stidmama

it was your fault faeriekae! you started talking about nekked men, and now i'm in trouble with musicmom!

12:24 pm

hurshy

ok, a) i ask for clues all the time, i think you have been under a misapprehension, stidmama and b) i don't have the 6 or 7 either...was hoping they related to the fat...will look harder :)

12:24 pm

musicmom

ahhh this is the life - sunshine, porch furniture, dr.pepper, last fm and babble friends. It doesn't get any better than this.

12:24 pm

12:26 pm

leighprefect

12:27 pm

hurshy

argh i am so stupid today! luckily i still have the cold to blame for it...

12:27 pm

musicmom

I don't have them either Hurshy. I had to go driving around in my stupid van instead of sitting at my computer.

12:27 pm

faeriekae

Nakked men are ok. Sometimes.

12:28 pm

chic

Hurshy, I called my hubby at work to ask him about the young russianan dhe can't think of it right now. I know he thinks I'm crazy...;-0

12:28 pm

musicmom

12:29 pm

faeriekae

MusicMom-check your e-mail here in a couple of minutes.

12:29 pm

leighprefect

if my mother walked in and saw me talking about naked men, she'd -still- wonder what i was doing.

12:29 pm

musicmom

I don't even care if you have to give me a whole ocean full of fish to go with them.

12:29 pm

hurshy

it'll come to one of us sooner or later

12:29 pm

caitlyn

Hang on i just took a phone call and now there is all this talk about naked men!!!

12:29 pm

Haz1558

The last two re6/18 - the first one is used to set cheese, and the second one uses the same four letters to start and a preposition (not out) to finish

12:30 pm

musicmom

Okay faerie I will. I'm looking for something from my mom too.

12:30 pm

Dippnall

Hi all - back to finish last few words - but don't you all seem to have been having an interesting time? Please don't stop now!! [ Aren't holidays great - I've just spent 4 glorious hours in a nearby village pub - lunch, don't y'know(!) with 2 mates! Great!

12:30 pm

12:33 pm

caitlyn

Dippnall sounds great!!! Can you still see the keyboard? LOL

12:33 pm

hurshy

i have one O 6 but don't know if it's the one you mean

12:33 pm

Dippnall

who cares?!

12:33 pm

Vicuna

beyond that I can't figure out

12:34 pm

caitlyn

Not me (im jealous)

12:34 pm

hurshy

yeah those are the ones i have too vi, then i 'm stuck

12:34 pm

Haz1558

For the ol words, try Spanish word shouted at the end of a dance, then a fish body part. Keep adding endings!

12:35 pm

hurshy

perfect, haz, that got 'em done in a blink!

12:35 pm

musicmom

thanks Haz. The last one I was trying to make with 5 letters instead of six.

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Aha, Haz, thanks. The others also have to do with fats, so I was confused.

12:35 pm

stidmama

Haz, those worked for me, too!

12:36 pm

FredAndKate

12:47 pm

hurshy, reminds me of that great poster: 'hukked on phawnix reelly tot mee to reed!'

12:51 pm

FredAndKate

No one laugh now but I'm 10.

12:51 pm

stidmama

leigh -- I was including you in the very young category (though as I recall at the time it didn't seem so young...)

12:52 pm

Vicuna

So is that 5 for Fred and 5 for Kate, or 10 apiece?

12:52 pm

TheFiz

hi all - FredandKate - no one's laughing, I think it's great that you're playing this kind of game!

12:52 pm

hurshy

but... if it has an f it can't be a 6/18... i am puzzled

12:52 pm

faeriekae

FredandKate-no one here will laught at you. Are you finding any words?

12:52 pm

leighprefect

hell, i'll take very young. i dread growing old. don't get me wrong, i'm sure it's fabulous, but i have a fear of turning out to be like those people in homes who can't do anything without an aide...

12:52 pm

stidmama

i have 56 words left, my sit-upon is tired, and the sun is out again. time to take some pictures of the irises and tulips that bloomed yesterday!

12:52 pm

FredAndKate

Yes! My dad, Fred is a master at this!

12:53 pm

musicmom

Not laughing - just old enough to be your mother. My 11 year old plays sometimes. Enjoy.

12:53 pm

Vicuna

there's a 4 letter meaning preferance ("I'd as li--") and then add onto it for a 6.

12:53 pm

faeriekae

Music-did you get your mail?

12:53 pm

hurshy

ok, so it's not 18 - that explains it! thanks vi.

The Dog book was the same one I was thinking of...but it's not Dr. Seuss...wow!! I loved that book too! : )

1:15 pm

TheFiz

Hey, no sides in Babble. We're all just trying to have fun!

1:15 pm

Merk

Am I missing something on the last ba 4,6 word? Nothing works.

1:15 pm

Another animal
A straight one of these is the shortest distance between two points

1:16 pm

hurshy

fredandkate - i am very very confused.

1:16 pm

EasternBlue

Vicuna - yup! but it WAS/IS part of the "Cat In the Hat" series...hence my confusion...!!

1:16 pm

Haz1558

Merk - the last ba4/6 is an agricultural building.

1:16 pm

Atalante

oh hurshy ... not upsetting poor little babblers, are you :P

1:17 pm

TheFiz

Anyone else feeling like *someone* in here might be pulling our legs?

1:17 pm

hurshy

not intentionally ata! i don't know what's going on!

1:17 pm

beakman

Can someone tell me how many words today?

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Yes, it's part of the Easy Reader series, as is Cat in the Hat, but many of those were actually by P.D. Eastman. Are You My Mother, and A Fly Went By and among his masterpieces.

1:17 pm

leighprefect

Ooops. Misread Merk's question. Gah!

1:18 pm

Vicuna

My favorite page is the one where all the dogs party up in the tree!

1:18 pm

TheFiz

I love Are You My Mother!

1:18 pm

Merk

Haz, I have that one midway up. I need the one that comes after the 6/24 a woman who cannot conceive children.

1:18 pm

walnutchen

Maybe FredAndKate is one of those FBI agents posing as kids to catch those child pronographers? Like how they caught that treasury guy?

1:18 pm

Vicuna

Not really a natural habitat for dogs, though...

1:19 pm

EasternBlue

Vicuna - me too!! : )

1:19 pm

Haz1558

Mark - it's a homonym for bait

1:19 pm

EasternBlue

let's have a Babble Tree party!!

1:19 pm

beakman

Yoo hoo anybody, how many words today?

1:19 pm

TheFiz

Wrong place for that, I think - unless propositioning someone for Sudoku counts. I'm having a hard time keeping track of my civil libertiesthese days.

1:19 pm

jessmom

last ba4/6 sounds like what you use to go fishing
or send in your tax return to get your re****

musicmom

I'm making cheesy baked potato soup for dinner should I put more on?

1:24 pm

TheFiz

MM - I'm in - I'm stuck in the concrete jungle with EB and would much rather be climbing trees! Nothing like it to make you feel young, too (until the next day when you're sore and feel really, really old...)

1:25 pm

Vicuna

Everyone head to Ohio! Wheee!

1:25 pm

EasternBlue

Siggy - definitely!! I'll stop by the store & pick up fresh bread...

1:26 pm

beakman

cheesy baked potato soup mmmmm!

1:26 pm

TheFiz

FredandKate - are you coming over for tree climbing and soup?

1:26 pm

musicmom

sounds great. There are still GS cookies for dessert. I have iced tea and coffee. Out of wine and beer at the present but tree climbing and alcohol could be a lethal combo anyway.

1:26 pm

Vicuna

I'll bring chocolate. It'll only take me 16 hours to get there.

1:27 pm

Vicuna

Watch out, Fiz, the FBI agents are watching!

1:27 pm

FMitch

Yikes, Vicuna, I forgot. Only with parental permission and/or supervision...

1:28 pm

Vi - we could carpool - I'm in West. NY...

1:28 pm

musicmom

that's fine FMitch -Albany has a little airport.

1:28 pm

Vicuna

Okay, in Babbleworld, I can grab onto the tail of the concorde as it flies over!

1:29 pm

Uneaixoise

Concorde's been put out of service, no?

That's the spirit, EB. Anything is possible! (Except finding that last pesky word!)

1:31 pm

musicmom

ACK EB = if you all beam in I won't be able to run the vacuum in time. Especially since I still have over 70 words to find.

1:31 pm

EasternBlue

1:31 pm

Yea I went back to Westwood in 2001 for the first time in years. The house where my Mom and I were born in on Roosevelt Ave has really changed a lot since my grandmother sold it and moved back to Jax in 1980.

My mom finally got back up there 2 years ago after not being there since my grandfathers funeral in 1979. Now she can't stop talking about moving back.

2:08 pm

2:29 pm

boreetos

cliffopa, im here just about everyday, only at breaks though, which constitutes about an hour a day. It's easy to miss people when I'm hardly on. :)

2:29 pm

sandr

is anyone else loving the last br4/6? it made me smile

2:29 pm

Deeha

thanks for that Sandr I havent found Lickety before

2:31 pm

musicmom

leigh - I need that in 5/16 as well. I have the one you do.

2:31 pm

boreetos

i see. Well, I am dense and sometimes don't pick up on things.

2:31 pm

macuser

How is TSM doing?
I was so saddened to hear the news :(

2:32 pm

hurshy

me too boreetos, very much so. i sympathise.

tsm seemed...well, like it's been hard. she said she had to get over being angry.

2:32 pm

2:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

pokey: that is a prefix, not a word...*sigh*

2:33 pm

cliffopa

2:34 pm

leighprefect

oh well...44 more words left. i'm going to have to try to finish later! see you later all..

2:34 pm

cliffopa

or the ol 7?

2:35 pm

boreetos

don't underestimate the power of moral support, hurshy, I'm sure knowing that we care helps a little. At least I like to think it does.

2:35 pm

macuser

I know hurshy... in situations like that, one feels so helpless

2:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

just got ol fromt he 8 - not the el though

2:36 pm

hurshy

well i know it helps me with my tough things, boreetos!

2:36 pm

macuser

I agree. boreetos - I know in hard times, my friends have been there to help pull me through - it does help

2:37 pm

cliffopa

if you have the el 5/10, it starts out with that.

2:37 pm

boreetos

me too. Hey, so I'm looking at Babblers Anon, and what is right there on the front, A big friggin red flag that I should have seen warning me of the sad news. I am really dense sometimes.

2:38 pm

sandr

just to let you all know that when i went through it 6 months ago - reading your kind and thoughtful posts on babblers anon made things , if not easier, more bearable. You are all a great set of people - you hear so many bad things about people - its really nice to be brought up short and realise the good every now and then.

2:38 pm

hurshy

boreetoes - my two best friends in college were paragons of sensitivity - i used to say that they were like fine-tipped markers and i was like a big fat one - i called it "fat marker syndrome"

2:40 pm

cliffopa

if you don't have the el 5/10 it is:
e + 4 letter word meaning The part of the body of a human or quadruped on either side of the backbone and between the ribs and hips.

2:40 pm

boreetos

sandr..:)
hursh, i like it. It sounds like something a psychologist might think up.

2:40 pm

hurshy

2:41 pm

2:41 pm

hurshy

oh dear... that is a very different kind of syndrome... i'm sorry boreetos

3:02 pm

musicmom

add a consonant to the 5/14 before it.

anyone with a clue for the ci6?

3:02 pm

boreetos

its amazing isn't it? That a group of otherwise strangers with a single thing in common can culminate in a friendly societylike this? Good people banded together based on little more than a recreational activity. One that can be there for eachother in such a familiar way, much like a surrogate family. It's for these reasons that I come back and babble everyday. It's all of us, the babblers that will join together and suport those of us going through a rough patch, even though most have and probably never will meet each other in person. That's something that gives me hope, strangers treating eachother equally, looking past cultural differences, and progressing as a group. If only more circles could be this way, maybe this world wouldn't seem so bleek.
In short...you guys are awesome.

3:02 pm

hetty

cybernen, I don't know which of the 4 b6's you mean, but for one think of the Pride and Prejudice family, for another a small hat you used to wear, for a third what happens when you give up (because you are *****) and finally what you might have done in return to the person so churlish as to take a stickto you (your being the sort of person who eschews violence) All these long words come from thinking about Jane Austen!

there are 2 leigh.

7:04 pm

bonkler

please add an 'r' to my last post in the appropriate spot :-p

7:05 pm

cliffopa

beazus - maybe the re 5/14 = re + place where you go to have a drink?

cliffopa

beazus, this may confuse the heck out of you, but here goes. the comedian i like best is fu***** than any other. think ha ha. okay, now, replace the u with an i.

7:17 pm

musicmom

beazus = fish have fi** that cover their bodies. A fish with more fi** is fi7

7:18 pm

cybernan

fi 7/40: based on three letter word that is what fish use to propel themselves through the water. Take the adjective and make it the superlative.

7:18 pm

not confusing in the least! quite the contrary ...got it!

thanks again to all for the clues!

9:42 pm

stidmama

9:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh hell - can't we get a troll with brains for a change? i'm tired and i have 27 words to go...

9:43 pm

shorty

why does it say I've already used that word and I haven't

9:43 pm

helenkeller

i have the re 6 with the double consonant in the middle

9:44 pm

stidmama

there are two re 6 with double consonant, one right after the other. one of them ends with the opposite of out.

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi all!! -- Temple, I believe that would be an example of an oxymoron... with the emphasis on the moron! :D

9:44 pm

helenkeller

stid - i don't know what they use to make cheese & with some cheeses i'm afraid to ask. i love cheese :)

9:45 pm

helenkeller

that was it stid - thx , 1 to go

9:45 pm

stidmama

hi Woulf!

9:46 pm

faeriekae

keep getting distracted. sorry. I just need to go to bed. Good Night All.

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

9:46 pm

stidmama

good night faeriekae, sweet dreams!

9:46 pm

shorty

ok thank you very much GW

9:47 pm

helenkeller

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

9:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

GreyWoulf

So, do I dare to start?

9:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

te5/10, please?

9:48 pm

shorty

nite faerie!!!! sweet dreams

9:48 pm

stidmama

don't know who all's online at the moment, want to give a heads-up about TSM's sad news if you haven't heard she is no longer expecting. There is a condolence topic for her that angelsong set up on Babblers Anonymous under "General"

9:49 pm

dinoshadow

:( Same happened to my brother and s-i-l last week.

9:49 pm

shorty

aww my I did not know that awwww very sad

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh dear!! That is sad news, indeed :(

9:50 pm

stidmama

dino -- so sorry to hear that. :-(

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry to hear that, dino...

9:51 pm

stidmama

yes, TSM was online this morning when I was here -- she knows we know, and is taking some time before returning to work. I think this is why capone was sad the other day?

9:51 pm

dinoshadow

I am not sad. My s-i-l was not in the best of health. Maybe this will help them both realize that weight is an issue. Secretly, I am glad she lost it. That may be mean, but she's only 25, she has plenty of time.

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Dissimilar topic, but good news to counter the bad here --- cross your fingers folks and send me all the positive energy you want, I was handed the official application for the company I am temping for :) It looks like perm status is in my future :D

9:53 pm

stidmama

ooh!! fingers, toes and eyes crossed. incense burning, chants being sung as i type... Woulf, that would be so wonderful, you are at the top of my job-hunt list!

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks stidmama :)

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

no wonder your wolf looks so happy tonight!

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

so I repeat my earlier query - Shall I jump in and start at this late hour?

9:54 pm

Angelsong

last li6/18?

9:57 pm

stidmama

it's been a frustrating grid for me today, but i've been tired and distracted and headachy... there are some interesting twists and turns to it. Some people have finished pretty quickly.

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Ah what the hey!! In for a penny, in for a pound....

*holds nose and dives into the deep end.... without swim fins even!!*

9:59 pm

stidmama

:-) then we shall sink or swim together! I have 36 to go, but nothing new in the last ten minutes... and only just started checking against Lickety's list

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

There are lots of fun words that we normally don't see in here!

10:02 pm

Angelsong

desperately seeking the last li6/18...help?

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry Angel -- I'm pretty good but not there yet ;D

And about to have to juggle feeding Seb as well :)

10:03 pm

stidmama

angelsong -- I don't know which one that would be! I have the one related to the opp of out** sanctum does that help?

10:04 pm

stidmama

*argh*

yes, tired. angelsong, try a small bird. li + fish*** ,double the middle cons

10:16 pm

stidmama

making progress, 27 words to go.

10:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

back from clue diving - slim pickins...i have only two of the no;s - christmas and no4 contendere....does 'anyone have the third? (i miss bj's list) : (

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

Makeing progress here as well, only 100 left! -- have found nothing greater than 6 letters yet :)

10:23 pm

stidmama

looking for the same no** as well, TO! could also use help on the ens...

10:23 pm

ch1212

temple oil, the other no 4/4 is n + o** (can for the tin man)

10:23 pm

JeeWhiz

Temple Owl...rhymes with aluminum fo**

10:23 pm

shorty

OH MY GOSH GW didnt you just start?

10:24 pm

stidmama

i couda sworn i had tried that no several times... :-( bad fingers! no chocolate for them tonight!

10:24 pm

JeeWhiz

Any one have the 10? I like to get it out of the way. Also if you have some good clues for the eights, all of us late folks would appreciate them.

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

yes, shorty -- but it is easy to type 4 letter words quickly

10:24 pm

ch1212

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I just did that! YIKES! I didn't mean to type that! I meant Temple OWL.... (sheepishly ducks head under...)

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

stidmama -- no no you have it wrong -- if you deprive them of choc they will just let you down further in the future

10:24 pm

shorty

Not for me Im a 1 finger typer

10:25 pm

ch1212

okay, jeewhiz, I'll try and clue the 10 without actually typing it this time ... if you put something in the trash to burn you in******** it.

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

gotcha, shorty -- I took touchtyping way back in high school -- playing babble (especially participating in the log) has honed my ability better than any speed drills they put me through back then :)

10:26 pm

stidmama

ch -- first good chuckle i've had since this morning when faeriekae told the nekked men joke...

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks ch1212! great clue and such a fun word too!

10:27 pm

ch1212

thanks, stidmama... the en6 is a city in California, by the way.

10:27 pm

shorty

i dont think I'll ever catch on to typing fast been doing it for years 1 finger :(

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Yeah, I saw that, stidmama -- I was passing by during my lunchbreak and decided that it would be safer for me to stay away from the ladies club when I saw that! ;D

10:28 pm

talk24hr

hey everyone

10:28 pm

Freckle

cr9/60 hints ne one?

10:29 pm

ch1212

cr 9/60 -- someone gave this clue earlier: a type of fabric that women in the old South used to wear to keep their hoop skirts puffy...

10:29 pm

stidmama

cr 9: something women used to wear under skirts to help them stand out, sort of a stiff petticoat

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

truthfully, fast typing is overrated unless you are in a profession that requires it

10:30 pm

stidmama

hey talk!

10:30 pm

shorty

true true!

10:30 pm

talk24hr

Hey Stid! How goes it?

10:31 pm

stidmama

argh. double argh. blah, blah, blah.

you know, the usual. you?

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi talk!

and Hi JeeWhiz! and Hi to everyone else who has popped up since I started :)

10:32 pm

Freckle

Wolf, I'm in school and typing at 60 words a minute helps so much!!!:)

10:32 pm

ch1212

hi and bye all -- I'm off to dreamland. Happy babbling

10:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

re6/a7 (first one) and 5/16 below it? 2

10:33 pm

stidmama

good night ch -- (still working on the clue, but will find it eventually!) thanks!

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Frecke -- I consider going to school to be a profession.
You may not be paid in money, but you are earning rewards nonetheless :)

10:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

night ch!

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite ch1212!! Sleep well and dream deep!

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

oops -- sorry about the typo, Freckle!!

10:34 pm

ch1212

okay Temple OWL -- re 6/27 - to touch something or have an emotion again ... the 5/16, take away one of the double vowels from the 6/27

10:34 pm

Freckle

When I grow up I hope i dont choose school as another proffession.

10:34 pm

ch1212

okay, now I'm gone.

10:35 pm

talk24hr

Hey Grey!

Ouch Stid, that good eh? I dunno, I might have ya beat, I might quadruple your argh's... and through in some Blah's too. BAD week

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Freckle -- how far along into school are you?

10:36 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks ch1212. I got a phone call so I am late to respond with my thanks.

10:36 pm

Freckle

8th grade:), Y?

10:36 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that, talk :-( the week hasn't been bad, but today has seemed interminable

10:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks again ch!

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Curiosity, Freckle -- also I wish to thank you for renewing my faith in those who follow me -- You are a special person to have an interest in word games and vocabulary when most of your peers are more interested in video games instead :)

10:40 pm

Freckle

We play boggle alot and my mom and dad thought it would be a good idea for boggle online... He's works with computers so he found this site and we've been playing for a coupla weeks.

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Very cool, Freckle!! -- when I was younger we played boggle a lot as well --- my mother used to set up the board before she left for work in the morning and challenge me to find as many words as she did when I came home from school -- I thought it was great fun! :)

10:42 pm

HollyBug

yay for tea!

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi holly!

10:43 pm

Freckle

how many words are you at woulf?

10:43 pm

HollyBug

Hello sir. How are the little people? :o)

10:44 pm

stidmama

hi holly! tea?

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

almost halfway Freckle -- 85 to go :)

Holly -- the little ones are dong great -- Seb is being fairly consistent with his 6 hour overnights and Kristianna has entered the kiss and touch him whenever she can phase :)

10:46 pm

HollyBug

hehe. We got our shipment from adagio today... so Joe hooked me up with some wonderful chamomile. hehe.

10:46 pm

HollyBug

hehe. awww.

10:47 pm

Freckle

how come niner isn't a word?

10:47 pm

stidmama

okay, help please!

I am looking for the te 4 that comes before the te 5/10 and 8...

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Because the Enable dictionary - that Babble is based on -- Stinks!!!

10:50 pm

JeeWhiz

stidmama, I haven't gotten very far, but are you looking for the te**phone or te**vision one? Or the misspelled color one?

10:51 pm

stidmama

JeeWhiz -- you are superb! that's exactly the one I was monkeytyping around!

10:51 pm

JeeWhiz

Wow, superb? I like that adjective.

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Beginning to slow down -- gonna have to go for a list soon -- past halfway now -- 80 to go :)

10:54 pm

stidmama

Woulf -- you're doing really well! with Seb there helping and all... :-)

10:54 pm

stidmama

stidmatt are you online yet?

10:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

en5/10?

10:55 pm

JeeWhiz

Grey Woulf, I am glad to see you playing tonight. I always check your player ranking total score, because you and I usually stay within a few thousand points of each other. It gives me something to shoot for. See how inspirational you are to others? You, Minski, and Brandy Jack are all usually very close to my score.

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Actually, Seb is now in his bassinet and has been for awhile -- he fell asleep on my shoulder so I put him down -- it's too hot to keep him with me tonight :)

10:57 pm

stidmatt

Yup, I'm on. I am going to do extremely badly today.

10:58 pm

stidmama

that's okay, do your best in the time you have -- Freckle, if you're still there, stidmatt is my son, 7th grade

10:59 pm

GreyWoulf

*blushes slightly*

Why thank you, JeeWhiz -- I am flattered. I usually don't pay much attention to the stats, but I had to play tonight -- I wanted to share with everyone the fact that I may be made perm at my temp position fairly soon -- I was handed the actual application form for the company to fill out today :)

11:00 pm

Angelsong

need help with the r's. need all ra4's.

11:00 pm

JeeWhiz

How exciting for you Grey Woulf! That has to be so exciting for you and your family. Is this at the music store, or somewhere else?

11:01 pm

stidmama

okay, _still_ working on the en 5 and en 6, and _still_ no good. i'm going to drop off for a moment and go find a "resource" to help... BRB

11:01 pm

GreyWoulf

stidmatt -- it all depends on your definition of bad -- I consider the fact that you are here to be a very good thing --- also I feel that you personally help to reinforce the great things about Babble by your mere presence.

I am a firm believer that while finishing feels good, the real reward is in the striving :)

11:01 pm

JeeWhiz

Hi Angelsong, use lots of r, l, and e for your r words.

11:02 pm

stidmatt

I mean, I haven't played any yet today, because I have been playing with the dogs and music, and I am to less then ten, and I have done way better.

11:02 pm

JeeWhiz

But, Stidmatt, did you have fun? That's what is important.

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Jee -- my temp position is at a company that manufactures and maintains forklift batteries and chargers --- I am in the office as a Service Coordinator, which means that I am a dispatcher with lots of other responsibilities as well :)

11:03 pm

stidmatt

Well, getting six words in two minutes makes me feel pretty good.

11:03 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, Angelsong, ignore my r clue. I was thinking you wanted r4 words, not just ra4.

11:04 pm

stidmama

six words in two minutes is really good -- I haven't had two words in the last sixteen minutes!

11:04 pm

JeeWhiz

GW,wasn't one of your temp jobs in a music store? I was thinking that I remembered that from way back before Seb was born. Sounds like this job has promise, and probably benefits too. Congrats!

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

there you go, stidmatt -- take your victories where you find them -- before you know it, all the little victories combine into complete success!

11:06 pm

stidmatt

Yup. Thats right GW.

11:06 pm

stidmatt

And, anyway, it doesn't effect the destiny of the world.

11:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Actually, Jee -- I never had a music position -- I still work at Lenscrafter's parttime on the weekends, but never music -- I was trying for other stuff before a friend recommended the temp agency

11:07 pm

ulti

so how many words typically in these puzzles?

11:07 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, GW, I was thinking of Lens crafters...I don't know why I changed it to a music store...Oh well, sounds like you have an interesting opportunity.

11:08 pm

stidmama

no real typical # of words. Today's grid has 162 words.

11:08 pm

GreyWoulf

ulti -- it varies, we have had as few as 31 and as many as 474! Typically the range is friendlier -- from about 120 - 230 :)

11:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

anone know who was booted from american idol?

11:08 pm

ulti

aiyee i've got a ways to go ;)

11:09 pm

stidmama

*pout*

no luck even with resource help. anyone want to clue me on the 2 en words?

11:09 pm

stidmatt

Prince Charming? (literally)

11:09 pm

GreyWoulf

But don't sweat it too much ulti -- if you don't finish this one, there is always tomorrows! ;)

11:09 pm

JeeWhiz

Sorry Temple, I missed it tonight. Who did you want to go tonight? I still miss Mandeesa.

11:09 pm

stidmama

also looking for the te 8...

11:10 pm

HollyBug

It was Bucky.

11:10 pm

JeeWhiz

Stidmama, the one en sounds like a city in California.

11:10 pm

HollyBug

The bottom three were Eliot, Bucky and Ace.

11:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

stid: en5 = related on maternal side
en6 = live oak = or city in CA

11:10 pm

JeeWhiz

I did think it was time for Bucky to go...

11:11 pm

ulti

well, my vocab isn't huge - i could try all the permutations, but that wouldn't be so fun

11:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

ar5/10 pretty please? i am way past my bedtime!

11:11 pm

HollyBug

I kinda felt that way too. Though honestly I don't like Ace.
He's too "pretty" for me.

11:12 pm

HollyBug

And Eliot's ears bother me.

11:12 pm

Angelsong

re5/14?

11:12 pm

HollyBug

I'm not shallow or anything. :oP
