nananananananana......

12:09 am

knutmeg

lets not mention the 57 c words off of ONE c...

12:12 am

r 75

12:25 am

stidmama

;-P you type better one-handed and distracted than I do with two hands, fully awake. but Liv is so *cute* I guess I'll give you the handicap. when do we get a new pic, btw?

12:26 am

knutmeg

probablythis week, with her being a month old now, I'm gonna need to send a new batch out to the family, so there will be much picture taking. :-) Right now the new pictures I have are too far away to make out the baby if I used them as an icon

12:27 am

stidmama

i've got stacks of pics like that! or the right size, but blurry. learn to keep only the best, or wind up like me in a room full of boxes waiting to be filed...

12:28 am

knutmeg

Thankfully, they are all digital, so no need for boxes. :-) Just need to make new back up CDs frequently.

12:29 am

stidmama

oh -- i just remembered! I became babblified exactly one month ago this grid!

*happy babbleday to me* mumble mumble

12:29 am

stidmama

wish they'd had digital pics when our boys were little...

12:31 am

knutmeg

I absolutely love having digital pics. Makes distributing pictures to the out of town family SOOOO easy, which is really good because all of Liv's grandparents live down South.

12:33 am

stidmama

I noticed your mom's location on her profile -- had to look it up on a map. How bad were they hit last year?

12:33 am

stidmama

or is jaianniah still here?

12:35 am

sprite

A biggie :) Morning dear gang, back later to see if I have the time for this s@cker. First breakfast for the kids.

12:35 am

knutmeg

Dunno if Mum is around. They had damage to their house, roof damage and skirting damage, and they lost two cats. My sisters both live down there, too. One sister lost everything when the roof to her apartment got ripped off, causing major water and mold damage.

But I feel lucky because they are all okay.

12:35 am

stidmama

sprite! good morning! it's a big grid, but so far not too stinky. :-)

12:37 am

jaianniah

Too busy typing- 108 words so far= the worst part of the Hurricane is that it is still going on....and on...and on....and more are coming soon...

12:37 am

stidmama

oh, I am so sorry -- my father-in-law has been in that area, trying to help put things back together (he's a buyer for big construction projects) and has told us how hard it is to see -- I can't even imagine what you and they must have felt like. Thank Goodness they are still with us! As my grandmother used to say, the rest can be replaced or done without.

12:39 am

stidmama

jaianniah -- sorry about your feline companions, and your other daughter's loss of belongings. I know your house can be repaired (a tree hit my parents house in a storm this winter and won't be fixed until June) even though it's a hassle. ((hug))

12:40 am

jaianniah

T Y for your concern!!!! It is VERY much appreciated....still dealing with PTSD about that storm and Rita- I didn't leave for Rita and should have, with a hole inthe roof- the ceiling caved in.....

12:41 am

stidmama

{{{bigger hug}}}

i have ptsd :-( other causes, but long term and I know what it's like. may you be well and feel safe again soon.

12:42 am

mrpresident

GingerUK

did anyone else lose the connection to Babble last night (UK time) around 10:30pm?

2:06 am

GingerUK

ugh just seen how many words!!looks like I'm gonna be busy again!

2:29 am

sprite

I cannot meet my 9.30 am appointment. Because they have blocked the exit of our street. Unannounced. Digged a deep sleeve there. They say it will take at least another 30 minutes before anyone here can leave for work or whatever. Am I crazy that I am mad or are they crazy that they do this???

2:30 am

Boysaway

That's outrageous sprite!

2:31 am

rycaut

ro 8 /65 - and a bunch of 7's (looks like a whole bunch at there...)

2:35 am

sprite

I only have a 6/33 that goes with it so far. Nice ones :)
Darn, I am SO mad and frustrated. There is nothing anyone can do, some people are standing there who had to be at work at 9.00 am. It's really, really absurd.

2:35 am

pthomp

ro/8 75..

2:36 am

FMitch

(((sprite))) you must be fuming!!! How can they just turn up and do that, it's rediculous.

2:37 am

sprite

Fuming is the word :)
There's steam coming out of my ears. Well, it cannot be helped and things could be a lot worse, so I better stop complaining ;) Thanks for the sympathy!

Just looked at the stats - why couldn't we have had this giant one over the weekend when we have more time ?

3:50 am

sherb

3:50 am

sherb

ann - I'm always asking that question too... Dr G likes to keep us on our toes...

3:59 am

annevans

I'll do my best - work permitting. At least I've done the soduko puzzle

4:14 am

sherb

a sudoku break sounds like a good idea... the T's have worn me out...

4:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning, all.

4:24 am

ExWren

I really wanted to play the game this morning,

4:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ex-Wren - why not do it on paper for as long as you want to?

4:27 am

ExWren

To continue: 388 words are far too much, and when I looked at licketie's stats to find about thirty-odd re's that convinced me.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, when I saw there were re's I thought that would be a deterrent for you!

4:37 am

hannah lou

morin all

4:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning, hannah lou - a big grid today!

4:49 am

GingerUK

Babble went down for me again last night but this time the fault wasn't at my end as I was able to access other pages! 2 nights on the run now :-( Did anyone else lose access?

4:50 am

Haz1558

Ginger, I wasn't on last night at all, so I can't comment.

4:50 am

GingerUK

morning Haz and Sprite and everyone else!

4:51 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ginger - this is a nice grid so far, but no doubt it will be a slog later on.

4:52 am

cliffopa

hello - i see we have another larger grid. guess i'd better get busy!

4:52 am

HollyBug

what is the icon theme today?

4:53 am

GingerUK

4:54 am

Haz1558

Hollybug - great film stars of the past.

4:54 am

cliffopa

theme is great film stars of the past.

4:57 am

GingerUK

this is my first attempt at the 'themes'!!!

4:59 am

Haz1558

I've been very lazy the past few days - I'm trying to make up my mind whether to change today or not. Or maybe I should keep focussed on the grid...

5:00 am

GingerUK

only takes a min Haz LOL

5:00 am

Haz1558

Anyway, taking a break. I'll be back later.

5:02 am

5:13 am

HollyBug

lol. I slept for a bit... my husband is on call this week... so I woke up about 2 hours ago to his pager going off... Couldn't get back to sleep.

5:14 am

cliffopa

5:19 am

sherb

morning all... back from sudoku, and this grid hasn't got any smaller...

5:20 am

cliffopa

lol sherb. ain't that the truth.

5:22 am

amandacath

So just exactly how many are we looking at here? I've got 140 all on my own, with nothing large or out-of-the-ordinary - that's a bit frightening!

5:22 am

cliffopa

388 total words today :(

5:22 am

sherb

er... 388, amanda...

5:23 am

amandacath

Well, that should keep me busy for a while!

5:38 am

sherb

5:39 am

amandacath

Does that poor P get used at all, or is it just a placeholder today?

5:40 am

cliffopa

5:52 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Eva - well you could pretend whatever you like but don't you find that the first lot of words come an awful lot faster than the later ones?

5:53 am

Eva

You had to go and spoil it Haz! LOL

5:53 am

Haz1558

Some day I'll have to take my sensible hat off!

5:54 am

Eva

There goes my delusional system.

5:54 am

cliffopa

6:00 am

HollyBug

6:01 am

Eva

holly-its a weird one. The google definition is down below-a bug thing.

6:03 am

HollyBug

I'm getting something that it can't be...
Maybe I can't use google. :o)

6:03 am

Haz1558

Hollybug - first three letters meaning 'for' , then add four letters no4/4 - it has the latin vowel ending that goes with the expression NB '**** bene'

6:03 am

lshult

pr7= pr+ oppersite of off + last 3 letters qu*** (meaning amount your allowed)

6:04 am

Eva

you have to change the ending...to the first vowel

6:04 am

HollyBug

6:04 am

lshult

6:07 am

lshult

6:08 am

Eva

faeriekae

MM-ummmm the one armed man???? Who is it?

7:13 am

abe79

I LOVE Gilda

7:13 am

Jacula

Faerie - Not heard of Gilda, no. I'll bet that's who the old glamour puss who lived by my childhood home was named after.LOL.

7:13 am

Your ankles??? I thought you had a Harley for some reason..

7:28 am

Ankles are kosher, its the rest of my body that feels like it was caught up in an avalanche.

7:29 am

musicmom

Good morning. Another biggie I see

7:30 am

faeriekae

Capone you have to start taking care of yourself. Like maybe you really should go home and get some rest. Or just come on up to Michigan and I'll let you mow my lawn. I never did do that yesterday. Was too cold.

Hiya, the other MM....

Yep, although I've now been playing for three hours or so, and I'm down to 170 words.....

7:31 am

Faere, Gilda R. lived in Detroit. There is a building named after her I think.

7:32 am

musicmom

Hey Inge - My lily of the valley have buds. I'm soooo excited!

7:32 am

faeriekae

Inge - I believe you are right about that. Next time I get down that way I'll try to check it out. Remember I'm up by Midland? And you are couple hrs South of me.

7:32 am

musicmom

Good morning everyone. I am starting this but don't know if I will finish mm.

My icon is Vivienne Leigh.

7:33 am

rumplestiltskin

Morning all! just up and getting started. Any other Harley riders out there? Have to ride today. Gorgeous here in the Land of Oz. GA

7:33 am

capone

Nah Faerie, I've mowed enough grass for one week.

New Icon is up. And awaaaaaay we go!

7:34 am

faeriekae

Music- My lilies of the valley have just poked through the earth and should be opening up soon. But my Magnolia is bursting into bloom as we speak. It is beautiful. The first year it has bloomed. And my tulips are blooming. Yeah

7:34 am

movieman

Who have you chosen then, capone?

7:34 am

faeriekae

OMG-Its Capone LOL

7:35 am

inge

Good, Faere, I will ask around so I can point you in the right direction.
MM Even our lillies are peeking out now, getting our dead wood removed from our 1 1/2 acres. Anyone want some firewood???

7:35 am

amandacath

Yeah, Capone - who is it? Some guy in a plane (?) but it's not Jimmy Stewart...

7:35 am

musicmom

Faerie - that sounds beautiful. I got echinacea and blackeyed susans from my mother in law's beds on Saturday. i put them in the ground on Sunday. This place is starting to look like a home.

7:36 am

Jacula

Taking a break at 242 words. BBL. Happy Babbling!

Later, Jac....

7:37 am

capone

Geezuz!

Its Jakie Gleason from a Honeymooners promo shot. Ralph Kramden in his bus.

7:38 am

faeriekae

Music - great. You must be very happy. There is nothing like working in your own garden. I simply love just going out and pulling weeds. Sounds sick but I do enjoy it. You are finally making your house/you home :)

7:38 am

amandacath

Ok, ok - so it wasn't a plane. Now I recognize the "away we go" - I knew it came from somewhere, but couldn't quite place it

7:39 am

faeriekae

LOL - loved Jackie Gleason. good choice Capone

7:39 am

faeriekae

Bye Jac :)

7:39 am

rumplestiltskin

A c word is what they call cows in Scotland, pl.

7:40 am

capone

Good Faerie, get your ass down here and get these wild onions out of my yard.

7:40 am

musicmom

Well I'm not much of a gardner faerie - prefer sitting at my sewing machine. But, I have been told these are hardy perennials that even I will be able to keep alive.

7:41 am

faeriekae

Capone - LOL - wild onions are terrible. I hate them stinkin' things. Spray them with "round up" that will get rid of them

7:42 am

amandacath

but which c word, rumpel?

7:42 am

musicmom

LOL my girls pull wild onions for fun. Want them for a week Capone?

7:43 am

faeriekae

Music - you will do just fine and once you get started gardening you will enjoy it. I love cutting flowers to bring in for me to enjoy inside. Black Eyed Susans and Dasies are great for that.

7:44 am

capone

I gagged for 2 hours after mowing them down the other day. Not even grining up oranges and grapefruit that had fallen off my trees helped kill that smell.

7:46 am

shutterbug

Wow, this is another nig game today, huh?

7:46 am

capone

No thanks on the kids MMom.

7:46 am

faeriekae

Capone they are terrible. My brother in law lives in Orlando and had his entire lawn removed and had new sod brought in because of wild onions about 3yrs ago. So I know what your talking about. He tried eveything to get rid of them and then decided the entire lawn had to go.

7:47 am

shutterbug

I meant big not nig! :)

7:47 am

capone

I don't care enough about my lawn to goto that extreme. Was out of roundup but plan on buying more.

7:47 am

faeriekae

LOL Shutterbug - kind of thought that.

7:48 am

faeriekae

Round up is my lawns best friend now. I use it all the time. Especially around my fence. I hate to weedwhip.

7:48 am

musicmom

But Capone - you don't know how much fun it is to have those wild onions spread all over your porch and walkway. They are good - they pull them out - even the bulbs.

7:49 am

amandacath

I'm hitting a brick wall at 282. Anybody got any 8's to trade? I've got 2c's, 1 e, 2 r's 3 s's...

7:50 am

faeriekae

Sorry Amanda - Don't have them yet.

7:50 am

rumplestiltskin

co,4 amandacath

7:52 am

capone

I love to whack my weeds. Um, never mind.

Yea MMom, but seeing as how I have problems keeping kids out of my yard now (stealing fruit) why would I openly invite more in? At least with my own I could teach them to bark/bite/kill like a dog.

7:52 am

amandacath

rumple - is it the same as what doves do?

7:52 am

rumplestiltskin

I've got ro8/65 to trade.

7:52 am

Mariafay

not sure what u mean by tarading but do u have the 'r' thats used in chess yet?

7:52 am

musicmom

Well, I can assure you mine wouldn't steal. They wouldn't want to pay the consequences at home.

7:53 am

rumplestiltskin

Yep.

7:53 am

amandacath

Got that one already - and there's an 8/75 that goes with it

7:53 am

Mariafay

or the 'k' thats at the center of the earth?

7:57 am

musicmom

Shew I think I will hate to words as much as re words after today.

7:57 am

rumplestiltskin

Don't have the chess one. But ro8/75 is a ****** for your pocket + 2nd vowel + r

7:59 am

movieman

rumple - that's an ro8/65.....

8:00 am

amandacath

the chess one is an ro4, unless I'm mistaken

8:08 am

capone

LOL, I'm sure your kids are fine MMom.

Owning a home on a corner lot is really a lot more trouble than its worth. And what makes it even worse is that a lot of the riff raff that lives a few miles down the road, cuts through my neighborhood to go to the grocery store. It was so bad with the fruit and pecan thieves a few years ago, I had to put no trespassing signs up on my fence...in vietnamese!

It actually took me pulling my gun out on one of the guys to make him understand that my fence is up and locked for a reason. Guy had a bag full of pecans and I found out he had been jumping over the fence to get into the yard.

8:08 am

capone

Oh and before I get the speech, the gun wasn't loaded.

8:09 am

musicmom

Sheesh. Sounds like a great neighborhood. Maybe you should just start a corner pecan market:-))

8:10 am

musicmom

brb - gotta get the java.

8:10 am

musicmom

no speech here capone.

8:11 am

capone

LOL. Neighborhood isn't bad, but I don't plan on staying there much longer (7 years this past 4/9). People always bug me wanting to sell my stuff at the corner produce market. I'm almost to the point where I'm ready to cut the trees down.

8:12 am

faeriekae

Capone I live on a corner lot so I know what your talking about. Only the kids just like to cut through my yard but it makes it difficult with a chain link fence.

8:14 am

amandacath

So why don't you let them, Capone?

8:14 am

capone

I think my next home will be a condo...and not one that was refurbed from an apartment. I hate yardwork!

8:15 am

musicmom

My mom got a condo for that very reason. Definitely has it's advantages.

8:16 am

capone

Why would I want someone to make some $$ off of something I could just as easily sell myself? It's not the people from the produce market asking, its some of my neighbors. Besides, I have a list a mile long of people that I give the stuff away to.

8:18 am

amandacath

Well, as long as it's not going to waste...

8:21 am

capone

Only thing I'd hate about condos is the fact you are still "close" to neighbors.

I lived in a small 1 bedroom apartment for 6.5 years and I could hear EVERYTHING they did and I'm sure they enjoyed hearing some of the wonderful things that were going on at my place back when I used to party.

At least in my house the only direct neighbor I have to worry about has an 8ft privacy fence separating our properties.

8:24 am

capone

just noticed TSM is in the puzzle, well at least 2/3rds of her is with only 1 part actually counting. 8)

8:26 am

Uneaixoise

capone, same with me--every time I think about moving from my house to a condo I remind myself of everything you can hear from inside my friend's really nice condo here in Nashville . . .

8:27 am

amandacath

Hi Une! my brother lives in Nashville!

8:28 am

Uneaixoise

hey! what part?

8:31 am

Hi Une, Ruthy - other new comers.

No idea - Anchor Drive, Anchorage Road, something like that - or maybe not. I can't find his address at the moment

8:32 am

GingerUK

hey my US friends... but what is a condo? I know it's short of condominium but what is it????

8:32 am

musicmom

That's true Sherb. We're the youngest family on our street.

8:32 am

faeriekae

Hi Une :)

8:33 am

sherb

except they do play the TV a little loud sometimes... :)

8:34 am

capone

condo is a way for some bastard landlord to make some extra cake by charging "association fees" in addition to your mortgage or lease.

8:35 am

GingerUK

wow capone... that doesn't sound good!! We have landlords like that too!!

8:35 am

GingerUK

is it like several seperate dwellings in one building so you have to pay joint fees for maintaining it etc?

8:36 am

capone

basically Ginger.

A lot of apartment complexes are being renovated and becoming condos for the sake of someone making more money.

8:38 am

sherb

after I bought my flat - one of four floors in a Victorian house - we four neighbours got together to buy the freehold of the building... the landlord fought us all the way, but we won... cost me ten per cent on top of the price of the flat, but it was worth it for the independence...

8:38 am

inge

Got 103 so far, time to vacuum, will be back in 30 minutes to do the next 100 +. Bye.

8:51 am

hurshy

oh...well that's the usual thing to seize. i thought maybe it was something different. (in our christian fellowship in college they made t-shirts that said carpe deum, which i thought was quite clever)

8:53 am

musicmom

that is very clever - love it hurshy!

8:53 am

ARB

There's a ko that looks like a mispelled word for the center of an apple. The next ko looks like the plural of the previous word by dropping the vowel at the end

8:54 am

The Student

104 words and I am getting killed

8:54 am

hurshy

not, sherb, that i am disparaging DPS in any way - great movie, i agree :) i saw robert sean leonard in person once, in the market.

8:55 am

ARB

Then there's a ko which is ko + a common preposition and that is followed by what looks like the plural of that word.
And if you think I know what the words mean, you would be wrong. I just monkey typed for 5 minutes

what does 4/6 4/23 mean?

12:34 pm

hurshy

4/23??? is that possible? *ponders*

12:34 pm

mab

yes, I reread my post and realized it sounded odd.

12:35 pm

hurshy

no, i think no letters are worth more than 5 points.

12:35 pm

carra

im just saying what do the number you are typing mean. lol

12:35 pm

stidmama

could I have help on the pr 7? I know what the first four letters have to be ;-)... have tried logical combos, but obviously clueless. :-(

12:35 pm

hurshy

i know carra but you must understand hurshy is an odd duck. it is length/points. the fours are straight points, fives are double, etc.

12:37 pm

mab

carra, welcome to babble. If you look at Angelsong's Babble page - link at right - it will tell you everything about babble. PR 4/5 means the word starts with pr, has four letters, and is worth five points.

12:38 pm

carra

ok thanks hurshy and mab :)

12:40 pm

torgone

12:42 pm

torgone

You're in luck, mab. There can be only one ..

12:42 pm

stidmama

mab -- there's only one 'p' today... which is why I think I was flummoxed. That was a good clue, torgone, thanks again!

12:42 pm

mab

Why, Torgone -- beauty and brains. and insects' thoraxs. thoraces. thoraxi.

12:43 pm

Hi talk, puzzle's not bad

12:56 pm

Sorry, stid, mum called. I got 183 words before I left last night. Almost halfway, not too shabby for an hour's worth of monkeytyping. My goal right now: finish the co's (40?? I'd almost rather play with the re's... almost)

12:56 pm

stidmama

'morning talk! was just about to take a break, glad I didn't miss you. :-) it's not a bad puzzle, just big. grab a big mug of coffee, a plate of cookies, and settle in...

the re's are killing me

12:58 pm

stidmama

knut -- I hope I didn't make your mom unhappy with my questions last night -- I know how sometimes even innocent things can trigger anxiety (at least they do for me!)

12:59 pm

knutmeg

She seems fine today, so no worries, Mum, you around? :-) Especially since she's ahead of me in number of words.

1:01 pm

stidmama

well, just in case, hi jaianniah :-) hope your weather is as sunny and bright as ours is -- I'm off now to check the laundry and head outside to weed whack (the old-fashioned way, with sickle and scythe)

1:08 pm

Angelsong

re7/28 and re 7/36 after the smelly Re4?

1:08 pm

Merk

Oh, I tink I had it but put it in the wrong place. It's a plural of an earlier word. Sorry to bother you all.

1:08 pm

jessmom

plural of the te4/4 before it

1:10 pm

I'm pretty sure this isn't what you're looking for Merk, but my last te5/10 right now is plural exam.

doubt senses if on drugs or watching magician, not otherwise

1:57 pm

Hurshy, how are you doing? You're making me feel guilty for having resorted to the list.

1:57 pm

hurshy

btw amanda what flavor? can i be pineapple?

1:57 pm

amandacath

Good advice, Hurshy!

1:57 pm

hurshy

Want any hints?

1:59 pm

ARB

Guilt, as you know, is a Jewish mother thing; however, it is usually instilled in others not in oneself!

1:59 pm

hurshy

ARB, in what form? it's bit early for "guess what hurshy is missing" but... i suppose if you want to play now we can... the c's are my biggest problem.

1:59 pm

amandacath

Whichever you want - one thing I miss from the States is Life-Savers. And Certs - I only remembered about them when I found them in the grid today!

2:00 pm

hurshy

anyone playing "guess what hurshy is missing" - alert me to existence of word, further clue only if i can't find it

2:00 pm

ARB

do you have the ce which is one square meter -- composed of a penny piece + a common verb

2:01 pm

hurshy

ah, ty ARB, 10 points

2:02 pm

ARB

It's also a plural.

Also remember British spelling for a common word

2:02 pm

hurshy

i know plural, that is why you got 10 points :) (5 per word). have the brit spells.

2:03 pm

Angelsong

Yahoo! no more REs...:)

No, I have the british and american spellings, there's another 6/21 I don't have

2:13 pm

hurshy

well then i think that comes after, ylleria - like the mints but with an extra vowel stuck in

2:13 pm

hurshy

i thought yiddish words had like sch in them

2:13 pm

ylleria

Mints? *looks puzzled* I'm in the UK, so there's a good chance we don't have what you're talking about here

2:14 pm

ARB

ce 6/21 is an archaic word for truly. Think of a synonym for truly that starts with ce .

2:14 pm

hurshy

is this yiddish one a c word too?

2:14 pm

rycaut

not all - but it is a really unusual letter pattern to start

2:14 pm

ARB

Yhis Yiddish word is a ts word 6/18

2:15 pm

rycaut

no not a c word - sorry were you just workign on the c's?

2:16 pm

In the list, there is a ce 5/12 followed by two ce 6/21s. I have the 5/12 (the literary work) and one of the 6/21s (the british spelling), but this other 6/21 I just cannot get

2:19 pm

2:20 pm

ylleria

Thanks, hurshy!

2:25 pm

ARB

As I recal you're a math person, so you must have the math term co 5/12

hurshy

en 10/77 is the plural of the en 9/60 preceding it.
It's a French word for a steak

2:43 pm

hurshy

scribble dear, i don't think you will have heard of it, but if you take "to go in" and switch the last 2 letters around, then add a co4 which is french for coast, you will have the 9, the 10 is plural

2:44 pm

smaller

2:55 pm

hurshy

ARB, "guess what hurshy is missing" is only to be played as long as one wishes, feel no pressure to stay :)

2:56 pm

hurshy

and shalom. :)

2:56 pm

ARB

Actually it's fun -- a challenge to figure out how to give a hint without giving it away

2:57 pm

hurshy

yes many people do enjoy the game, while others do not. that is why no one should play unless they like it. :)

2:57 pm

sprite

Hi there :)

2:57 pm

ARB

Peace on you all too -- had a few windows shaken yesterday with the blast -- we live about a mile and a half as the crow flies.

2:58 pm

2:58 pm

3:01 pm

hurshy

me too sprite!!!

peaceful, TO

3:02 pm

ARB

Staying safe is a difficult proposition if you want to lead a relatively normal life. It just means that we must be extra careful and alert .

3:02 pm

sprite

From here on it will be fun ;)

3:03 pm

hurshy

how many to go, sprite? 23 here.

3:03 pm

hurshy

3:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi sprite! good to see you!

3:04 pm

hurshy

mmm, i like doing that sprite, when my friend joan comes to visit

3:05 pm

sprite

Hi there T-Owl, same here :) How are you doing?

3:08 pm

hurshy

sprite i think i am getting a little faster - although people did play guess what hurshy is missing some - i have only spent 6.5 hours to get down to 23 left.

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'm well! babble has taken a back seat to life over the past several days!

3:09 pm

hurshy

21 left!

3:09 pm

sprite

WTG hurshy!
And T-Owl, that is GOOD! Life should be more important than babble any time.

3:09 pm

stidmama

hi all, i'm back!

we decided to burn some of the brush while the ground was wet and it was dry... took longer than I expected!

3:09 pm

sprite

Down to 85.

3:09 pm

hurshy

now THAT is speed.

3:10 pm

stidmama

i have a mere 197 words left to find... but since I am not as brilliant as hurshy (grin, chuckle) I will use Lickety's clues... :-) and it will only take me another five hours or so with help!

3:11 pm

hurshy

oh the mocking

3:11 pm

sprite

There are a couple of endings that give lots of words once you start seeing them :)

3:11 pm

stidmama

*looks around*

mocking? not i!

3:11 pm

firefly779

here again - baby's been bottled (but not canned, for those that find that funny)
I'm at 185 words sans list...

3:12 pm

stidmama

firefly -- you're brilliant too... (the name gives it away)!

3:13 pm

hurshy

one little s from the left, who can guess it??? unless there is an sr, it must be se or st!

3:14 pm

hurshy

nvm, found it. 5 points for me.

3:14 pm

hurshy

20 left - half of them t's!!

3:14 pm

sprite

Tssss, strange one, So5/20 (impressive and effective; excellent). Completely new to me. Is it a word you can safely use in common speech or is it very specific?

3:15 pm

hurshy

lol sprite, we dunno, but somebody had a dog by that name

3:16 pm

sprite

Makes more sense to me in a dog's name than in this meaning, lol.

3:18 pm

hurshy

anyone caring to guess which two n's i'm missing can earn some points... (dangles the carrot)

3:18 pm

hurshy

they are from the fourth row

3:19 pm

stidmama

hey all, my younger kid is on -- Grant, say hi to the nice people!

3:19 pm

sprite

Got all the Ns, so what do you have, I give you the missing ones :)

3:19 pm

hurshy

aw, yay, hi stidgrant

3:19 pm

sprite

Hi there Grant!

3:20 pm

stidgrant

hello nice people!

3:20 pm

stidmama

yes, hurshy -- do tell which ones you have!

*leans forward expectantly*

3:20 pm

hurshy

no no sprite that is not how the game goes. you guess what hurshy is missing, if you guess right you get 5 points a word. it is how i convince myself this is better than using the list.

3:21 pm

stidmama

oh, I know what hurshy is missing -- there was a marble in the garden the other day, and one in my sock drawer last night! Those marbles are everywhere!

:-)

3:21 pm

hurshy

marble?

3:21 pm

sprite

LOL!
Okay, probably this one: No6/21.
It's what a shop owner will tell you if he has run out of an article, then he has No6 of it. Then drop last letter.

3:22 pm

hurshy

ding ding ding, 5 points to sprite!

3:22 pm

hurshy

see how easy it is sprite?

3:23 pm

sprite

There is another No6/21 that is a very knowing word. The opposite of what a young pure child is.

3:23 pm

hurshy

oh stidmama not giving clue, stidmama TEASING hurshy tee hee

3:23 pm

stidmama

*tee hee!*

3:24 pm

3:28 pm

Good for you! I just hunted for that last T for 5 full minutes, lol. While it is a babble regular.

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

sprite

Thanks all the same, stidmama :)

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

hurshy

Nope, am not. We are a great team.

3:30 pm

hurshy

72 Temple Owl

yep! hi ren!
CH: use the first syllable ofold fashined record player clue and add the to4/4 minus the last letter

5:05 pm

hurshy

no 6/21 is weird - it sounds like this: if you have no**** in a company, you don't own any of it so you don't earn dividends

5:06 pm

mrpresident

no6/21 no + st5/20 take off the last letter

5:07 pm

7:38 pm

bbnaz

nope, believe it or not, as soon as Iris was on her feet and back in the stall, Luna was nursing (obviously not getting much but still). Besides at 4 weeks she is starting to drink from a bucket so we put formula in a bucket for her to supplement from. Luna has been a dream and poor Iris has lost close to 500 pounds.

7:38 pm

Stid - the Gilda Radner Ovaran Cancer Research center is doing some wonderful things right now. Well they have from the beginning but what a nice thing to leave behind huh?

7:39 pm

No worries! Thanks. For such big creatures they are remarkably fragile. The last horse I did this type of surgery on did not survive so I was a bit distracted the past few days. No babbling.

7:39 pm

bbnaz - ((((hugs))))

7:40 pm

well, I hope Iris will continue to mend swiftly. Pleased Luna is doing okay -- I suspect it's as traumatic for horses as it is for us. are you, then, doing OK/better?

8:24 pm

helenkeller

stid forces helenkeller to get up & find easter basket

8:24 pm

stidmama

fortunately, helen -- drG runs this from a database ( i think ) that automatically saves with each "updation" as one of my kids calls it -- the words are there in your account (or should be) once they'er typed in!

8:26 pm

jaianniah

The extraterrestrial word is from The King and I

8:27 pm

helenkeller

thx stid - i didn't know that, guess i made my bp pills work overtime for nothing :)

8:28 pm

stidmama

:-) fortunately, my Tom is a database guru -- he explained it to me when I had my first "heart scare" a couple weeks ago.

Hey all, how goes the battle this evening?

8:31 pm

musicmom

Hi Jera - I'm still slugging away. I have 19 more to find but am trying to watch Spartacus while searching the grid.

8:32 pm

stidmama

Jera -- argh!

:-)

8:32 pm

jaianniah

Cross "term" with the ending of "complete"

8:33 pm

Jera

I'm quite proud of myself for resisting temptation to start this grid I could never finish... very busy day today!

8:34 pm

musicmom

Jae you are a miracle worker.

good call jera. I started knowing I probably wouldn't finish. i'm farther along than I expected.

8:34 pm

jaianniah

Yell if you like my clues and want more......

8:36 pm

stidmama

jaianniah, i like your cluse, just trying to catch some of them as they fly by! :-)

*back to typing frantically*

8:36 pm

musicmom

I love your clues. Just trying to figure what I am missing. Hard to do in a grid like this - takes awhile to sort it all out.

8:38 pm

jaianniah

Only six words start like "pros and ***s"

8:38 pm

jaianniah

OOps...make that seven.....

8:41 pm

stidmama

jaianniah -- I know you said "King and I" for the extraterrestrial word but I have 'Bali Hai' from "South Pacific" running through my head... can't seem to switch to Yul Brynner (help)

8:42 pm

jaianniah

Six words start like the first ne4/4

8:43 pm

musicmom

there is a te 7/8 combination that is with the exam words. I think they fall right before the plural exam. Help? Please?

8:46 pm

hetty

Good evening everyone; I've been popping in and out of babbledom all day and find myself quite bemused by 1)the clever clues and 2) the way the simplest answers seem to elude me--only a third of the way through after several scattered hours of clicking. Ah well, I'll simply have to persevere, while wishing all of you greater success. LOL

8:50 pm

mab

Mine too, but I was teasing stidmama who can't get bali hai out of her head.

8:51 pm

stidmama is too far behind her normal easy pace to notice...

The PR7/32 starts with the 3 letters that you think it starts with. Add the thing that you used to pass your friends in class but with a different vowel on the end.

9:55 pm

stidmama

65 words to go...

9:55 pm

Merk

My lickety chart is all filled in, and I triple checked, but I have only 386 words. Any idea why?

9:56 pm

stidmama

are you sure all the words you put in Lickety's list got entered in the Babble page?

9:56 pm

musicmom

Merk check again. You had to have checked something you don't have. Lickety's list is right. I finished with it. It's hard when there are lots of similar combinations --- easy to make a mistake.

9:56 pm

faeriekae

Merk - Refresh your page and flip to the stats to see what your missing.

9:57 pm

stidmama

sometimes (not often) Lickety's page is missing a word, but I haven't heard anyone say that today.

9:57 pm

scatty

lickety's words were all there today

9:58 pm

scatty

Merk, have you doubled a word somewhere, i do that sometimes

9:58 pm

Merk

My list had 388, but two words did not have scores. So I refreshed and that's when I dropped to 386. I went back to Lickety and checked my list with what I had written in there, spelliing and everything. It is totally filled in correctly. Still only 386 words with Babble's site. I don't know how to find the two words.

9:59 pm

scatty

two hours and counting

9:59 pm

faeriekae

Merk flip to stats and see what isn't greyed in.

9:59 pm

stidmama

thanks for the reminder, scatty! *no pressure here!*

9:59 pm

BGL

Musicmom~ I almost slipped in an e-mail to mom (replying to your birthday celebration) about seeing Sarah next weekend. I'm ready for the "cat to be out of the bag"!

10:00 pm

musicmom

faerie that won't work if Merk hasn't gone pro.

10:00 pm

Merk

I'm not a member; it's not available.

10:00 pm

musicmom

BGL ME TOO. I'm worried about the kids slipping while she is here this weekend.

10:00 pm

faeriekae

Your right MusicMom

Sorry Merk

10:00 pm

faeriekae

Merk - go pro

10:01 pm

Merk

I would go pro, ecept I can only do this about once every two weeks, hardly worth it, I thought. I've never heard what the advantages are. I assume that's why I have no icon.

10:01 pm

BGL

I guess tape over the mouth doesn't work! :)

10:01 pm

scatty

Merk, a couple of months ago the grid kept telling me i was missing a word, i kept putting the word in but it wouldn't accept it, it kept saying that it was already there, in the end i gave up, but when i checked the next day it had regestered

10:02 pm

musicmom

No I hope she hasn't started babbling and is lurkin in the chatroom.

10:02 pm

beazus

any clues for that lone 10 letter...?

10:02 pm

stidmama

Merk -- Lickety now says how many words begin with each letter -- count all the a's on the Babble list and compare, and so on -- that will at least narrow down your search.

10:02 pm

musicmom

Merk - not only do you get an icon and a purse and a flag. We get a stats grid that shows us each letter and how many words come off that letter. As you finish a letter it turns grey. Really helps to pinpoint lost words.

10:03 pm

BGL

Please... she hates Boggle! So I doubt she would Babble!

10:03 pm

Merk

Quite unusual for me, I've been home this week and have loved reading your chats. I'd love to do it daily, but I have no internet connection from the road, at least not of any length to do this. Sad to say.

10:03 pm

musicmom

en10
french for go in +french for sea+pl

10:04 pm

beazus

thanks 'mom ...searching.

10:04 pm

stidmama

i thought it was french for "coast"?

10:04 pm

musicmom

Merk I understand. When I went pro I was able to babble every day. Now sometimes I only hit once or twice a week. Still a good investment -- $10 for a lifetime.

10:04 pm

stidmama

i need another help, please the very last ne 5/10

10:04 pm

musicmom

OOPS didn't I tell you I failed french? Yes it is french for coast.

BGL

MM~ going to bed. Talk to you later. I didn't even start the grid today, aren't you proud of me? (this is my week of meetings every night - no time to play) Maybe tomorrow after youth group (depending on the number of words).

10:07 pm

beazus have you found it yet

It will probably be a teeny one tomorrow. I actually have time to play. Good night. Talk to you later.

Jade Zora

hey guys...i'm relatively new to this...and i'm doing surprisingly well for a newbie (1319)...but for some reason where it's supposed to put my score it says "NaN"...so i'm using a calculator to keep track...do you know what might be up?? thanks :)

10:08 pm

Merk

OK, I went Pro, but now you have to explain the shading and the stats to me. Under the Letter C there's a 55 in a white box and a 57 right below it in gray. What does that mean? I guess I'm missing one 4 letter word and 1 six. I have not a clue where to begin looking.

10:08 pm

stidmama

Jade, sometimes refreshing the page works when that happens.

10:09 pm

Jade Zora

thanks stidmama...would that mean i'd loose my words though?

10:09 pm

stidmama

Merk -- that means you are missing two of the words that start with c

10:09 pm

musicmom

You are correct Merk. Now go back to Lickety's list and compare it to the words in your list. It should be easy to see where you've missed. At least you know which letter to start with and how many letters in the words.

10:09 pm

stidmama

both words will build off the c that is indicated on the stats page.

10:09 pm

faeriekae

Congratulations Merk - You are truly one of use now
*evil laugh*

10:10 pm

Merk

One a four letter and one a six?

10:10 pm

musicmom

Nope you won't lose your words. Dr.G has it worked out great that way.

10:10 pm

scatty

10 letter word first five letters
in(french)
last five letters sounds like what you would wear over your clothes when you go out

10:10 pm

ice cream

am i coming thru?

10:10 pm

stidmama

Jade, you shouldn't lose your words, the actual "count" is kept on the server that runs the game, not on your machine. So when you refresh, it just asks the game server to resend the correct info.

10:10 pm

faeriekae

Hi Ice Cream :)

10:11 pm

scatty

ice cream where are you going to hee hee

10:11 pm

Jade Zora

YAY!!! thank you very much :-D good luck everybody (though i doubt you guys need it!)

10:11 pm

musicmom

Merk I sometimes look for places where there are two words with the same letter count and point value together. I often miss one of them and check them both.

10:12 pm

stidmama

Jade -- notice that many of us who are left are not too proud to ask for help :-), nor to give it!

10:12 pm

jeffer

i cannot see the te 7/28 's - the last four pls?

10:12 pm

That's the beauty of babble --- total collaborative effort.

10:13 pm

Jade Zora

yes, i see that all posts are very nice, you're all so very helpful to each other (and me)...it's great to see :)

10:13 pm

jeffer

oops no the last one and the bunched together four, i mean

10:14 pm

stidmama

hi again jeffer -- sorry, I haven't figured out which ones I have yet... trying to eliminate the easier letters first!

10:14 pm

faeriekae

Exactly what Music said "ditto"

10:14 pm

musicmom

if you have the 6/18 that is the latin pl of earth here are the 7/28
add an upside down u between the last two letters of the 6/18

10:14 pm

jaianniah

I am backkkkkkk!!!!......Anyone need help?

10:15 pm

musicmom

the next two sound like a soup vessel at a fancy dinner. one has a double vowel. The other is vowel consonant vowel

10:15 pm

jeffer, which 7/28, there are loads of them

10:15 pm
