Have been away, listening to Sinead O'Connor. The track was 'Thank You For Hearing Me....'

1:27 am

MelRinaLVN

I have 22 words left and my brain froze!!

1:28 am

Jacula

this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be

I know you don't love me anymore
you used to hold my hand when the plane took off
two years ago there just seemed so much more
and I don't know what happened to our love

today's the day
our friendship has been stale
and we will meet later to finalise the details
two years ago the seed was planted
and since then you have taken me for granted

but this is the last day of our acquintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already

(repeat)

Listen to this Sinead O'Connor track! You can't hear the pain in the words unless you listen.

1:31 am

Jacula

Mel - 22 words left? You're doing better than me thenm I'm far more concerned with Sinead's fire of Babylon!

1:32 am

MelRinaLVN

Jac, I'm at work so have limited resources, where else can I hear that song? Yahoo, only letting me hear 30 seconds.

It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma. (Think about it...)

A Venetian law decrees that all gondolas must be painted black. The only exceptions are gondolas belonging to high public officials.

Speaking of chocolate -- My bestest buddy and friend gave me a box of Crunch Dark Sticks. They are new and that are FABULOUS!!! And there is less than 100 calories in each stick (so they aren't too bad unless you eat the whole box at one time).

faeriekae

Music is the Queen for the day :)

7:19 am

musicmom

Yes faerie - unfortunately I do

7:50 am

Punster

My birthday is 2nd of May.

Movieman I'd prefer it if you didn't talk about me and let me tell my own personal details - its a tad irritating.

7:50 am

movieman

sheryl - same as the ne6 before it, but change the last letter....

7:50 am

faeriekae

LOL

7:50 am

Angelsong

If I keep collecting birthdays in the chat, it will take forever, and I'm bound to miss some. Do you think if I post a thread on BA, people would post their birthdays there so I can collect them for the resource page, or is it worth doing?

7:50 am

musicmom

I don't have it sheryl but I'll help you look.

7:51 am

movieman

Sorry about that punster.......LOL

7:51 am

Merk

Is there a clue for TE 7/44?

7:51 am

musicmom

You could try it Angel. Probably would be easier to access that way.

7:51 am

Punster

I forgive, but I never forget ^_^

7:52 am

Deutsch

Angelsong! I'll post my birthday!
Hi everyone. I'm teaching a seminar this morning, so I'll have a late start to babble.

7:52 am

Sherylr1961

7:53 am

musicmom

Hi Deustch. === bye

7:53 am

faeriekae

Angel I think that would be an excellent idea. That way those that want to can and those that don't, don't have to.

7:53 am

musicmom

I wonder if I will get a te5/18 today

7:53 am

movieman

punster - how many more do you need, then.......

7:54 am

Merk

Does anyone have a clue for the te 7,44? I'm getting nowhere.

7:55 am

Merk

He's named after the first Roosevelt. te 5/15

7:55 am

Sherylr1961

merk change your ending on the te 5/18

7:55 am

Merk

Oops te 5,18

7:55 am

musicmom

I'm looking for it too Merk.

Hmmm I wasn't thinking the fuzzy kind of te5/18 although that would be sweet too.

7:55 am

Merk

I tried that, I thought, but couldn't get to the letters I needed.

7:56 am

Sherylr1961

te 5/18 what little kiddies go to bed with to cuddle

7:58 am

musicmom

nope not finding that te7 any other help?

7:58 am

musicmom

OOO got it. Merk. make your 5/18 an action verb

7:58 am

movieman

punster - you still there?

7:58 am

Merk

What am I doing wrong with te 7,44. If I drop the last letter of 5/18, I can't get to another vowel.

7:59 am

shorty

ok peps i gotta run I HAVE to cut my grass I'll BBL have fun

7:59 am

Punster

Yup just busy

7:59 am

musicmom

go up to the top d and then drop down merk. That was tricky

7:59 am

Merk

Instead of a bear, he has tobe an action verb. What I really need a hint on his what the fifth letter is.

8:00 am

musicmom

merk third vowel

8:00 am

Angelsong

8:06 am

musicmom

Do you have a circular file? <G>

8:06 am

capone

And damn this addiction. Keep trying to find words instead of quitting the browser!

8:07 am

musicmom

you could clear it in 30 seconds and not have to wait until 4 to leave -- and you would probably get more than 10 days off. Eating might become an issue

8:07 am

musicmom

but you have licorice jelly beans. Ration them.

8:07 am

capone

no, those became food for the neighborhood feral cats

8:08 am

musicmom

ewwwwww you wasted them.

8:08 am

musicmom

I'm not helping you get back to work am I?

8:08 am

capone

"I blew off yoga to find words - you can blow off work. Look at it this way - it will still be there 10 days from now."

QFT Mmom!! And they will probably call me 20 times in the 5 actual work days I'm off.

8:18 am

ExWren

Afternoon musicmom, I did say happy birthday to you this morning, but I'm afraid I also had to pay tribute to the other Birthday girl as well

8:18 am

bbnaz

morning Hurshy

8:18 am

musicmom

Good morning ExWren. Thank you. All royalty is due their time.

8:19 am

Angelsong

I need to know: Do you have a preference as to where I put the Babbler's Birthdays List? should it go in the Sidebar, or in the main content section? I vote for the Sidebar. People can open it if they like, and it's out of the way. Opinions?

8:19 am

ExWren

musicmom said a word....................!

8:21 am

musicmom

That is pathetic. I don't even know what I said

8:21 am

lshult

Hi everyone.
Been quietly babbling away.
Just ****FINISHED******
If anyone needs any clues, I have some spare time?!

8:22 am

musicmom

that means I'll probably do it again.

8:23 am

Jacula

Hi all. MusicMom - the word you said had to do with a little brown bird.

8:23 am

bbnaz

Congrats Ishult

8:23 am

ExWren

whats my name mm?

8:23 am

musicmom

UGH!@!**@) I was tricked.

8:24 am

musicmom

Phooeeeeyyy. I just don't like calling you ex -- it sounds wrong.

8:24 am

bbnaz

good morning little brown bird who today looks like the 80 year old queen!

8:24 am

musicmom

brb -=--- losing battery power. Need to move back inside.

8:26 am

ExWren

I'm not wearing my tiara today!

8:26 am

Jacula

:-)

8:27 am

bbnaz

Why hello Jacula. Nice to see you.

8:27 am

bbnaz

been working out I see.

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hello jacs! : )

8:28 am

Jacula

Hello Bbnaz. I was just quietly getting on with the grid but I couldn't resist piping up just.

8:29 am

Jacula

Hi Temple.

8:29 am

musicmom

okay I'm back. TO love the icon! I'm wearing my tiara today<G>

8:29 am

Jacula

Happy Birthday MM.

8:29 am

musicmom

Well Jacs, ex and bb - I'm glad you all piped up or I probably would have done that a million times.

8:30 am

musicmom

Thanks Jac.

8:31 am

bbnaz

nope not me. even though i had already found that particular bird, it didn't even register as I am trying to find that pesky DE5

8:32 am

Jacula

de5? Must look for that myself. (Not using the list yet.)

8:34 am

Vicuna

de5/16 - rhymes with what the queen does (actually, the queen probably does this, too. She might de5 to nod graciously at you, for example.)

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hi musicmom! i think you were on your way out when i joined and wished you happy birthday.

8:35 am

musicmom

Thanks TO I appreciate it.

8:36 am

bbnaz

Oh Vicuna, We are most appreciative for that lovely hint!

8:36 am

marigold

the de5/16 is the same as the re5/14.Just change the first letter

8:36 am

Jacula

Vicuna - Thanks. Got it.:)

8:36 am

bbnaz

MM have a snappy happy birthday and all of that gleeful greetings!

8:37 am

musicmom

Thansk bb

8:37 am

Vicuna

Hey, happy birthday, musicmom!

8:37 am

Jacula

Marigold - I'd got the horsey version of that bu not the royal one. Thanks!

8:38 am

bbnaz

thank you for the RE Marigold!

8:38 am

bbnaz

a mere 111 to go!

8:39 am

bbnaz

um make that 110, Thanks Jac!

8:39 am

marigold

yw

8:40 am

musicmom

I think re+go4/9 should be a word. That's what you do when you put a word in the log over and over.

8:40 am

ExWren

Groan...just got to the re's

8:40 am

Jacula

56 words to go here.

8:41 am

musicmom

Me too your highness.

8:41 am

Jacula

If you net a fish again, surely you renet it?

8:41 am

musicmom

I'm in the re words. I don't think there should be any today.

8:42 am

Jacula

...And if your specs steam up again they refog.

8:42 am

ylleria

Can anyone help me out with the first ti 5/14?

8:42 am

musicmom

past tense of the 4/5 before it.

8:43 am

Vicuna

and if you make another hole you redig

8:43 am

musicmom

and if you stir a christmas drink again it is renog.

8:43 am

macuser

I agree Jacula - if you can re6/27 then you can re just about anything!

8:44 am

ylleria

Thanks musicmom! I would have sworn I'd tried that already. Oh well, one less to go now :)

8:44 am

marigold

do you mean the ti5/14? If that is the one think of a large cat.

8:44 am

Vicuna

if you fix the soles of your children's pajamas, you refoot them

8:45 am

musicmom

NO DOUBT Mac.

Although I did re6/27 my wedding shoes. First to lavendar and then to black.

8:46 am

musicmom

I guess technically I re5/16 them.

8:46 am

macuser

heh, thanks musicmom - didn't have that one - I was referring to another re6/27... and Happy Birthday!

8:47 am

musicmom

Thanks. And hmmmmmm I didn't know there was a nother one. going looking.

8:49 am

musicmom

Ha! Got it --- now that is stupid!

8:50 am

macuser

lol, my point precisely

8:55 am

musicmom

LOL - Greg is not taking me to lunch today. We had to borrow a friend's car yesterday because my van is in the shop ---- Greg put the key to the car in his pocket and drove off to work with it. I have no way to get to town. He's upset but I think it is funny.

8:57 am

musicmom

That is something typical for me to do, not him.

9:01 am

harpjane

hello!

9:01 am

musicmom

Hi Harp. How are you?

9:01 am

musicmom

Love your icon!

9:02 am

bbnaz

9:02 am

hurshy

9:02 am

Jacula

9:03 am

musicmom

Hi hurshy

9:03 am

musicmom

9:03 am

Jacula

Hi Harp & Hurshy.

9:03 am

hurshy

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

9:05 am

musicmom

9:06 am

ylleria

No, hurshy, none of those.

9:06 am

hurshy

phew, that's a relief.

9:06 am

ylleria

Damn, I can't find this other re 6/27 you've been talking about.

9:07 am

musicmom

ylleria - think about a bell sound

9:07 am

bbnaz

9:08 am

musicmom

I have 93 left bbnaz. i need to quit drinking coffee and chatting.

9:08 am

Jacula

Got it! What a stupid word.

9:09 am

Jacula

Have just looked up the definition. That's a new word I've learned today.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

*sits straight up* ti 8 and ti9?

9:10 am

Jacula

Ditto, Temple.

9:10 am

Uneaixoise

ti long words--think of the theme from "Rocky" :-D

9:10 am

bbnaz

think of big cat and the gemstone associated with it

9:10 am

musicmom

Jac - I think I would just use the def. instead of that word.

9:12 am

ExWren

please, please help me with that re7/44

9:12 am

musicmom

make the first 4/6 a verb

9:12 am

Jacula

BBNaz - got those ti's now. Thanks.:)

9:21 am

Jacula

Angel - I've just added my birthday to your BabAnon list.

9:21 am

musicmom

Only kind of icky thing is that Greg took the keys to the other car and I can't go into town and meet him for lunch today. He is much more upset about it than I am. We can go some day next week. no biggie.

I am going to go grab a bite now. Be back later.

(TSM, is that the right thing to do, when people don't know? i say what happened so you don't have to but i don't know if that is what you want)

10:28 am

musicmom

Thanks TSM. Dumbo makes me cry too. Of course, I cry at commercials too. The Budweiser one with the Clydesdale colt is enough to drown me.

10:29 am

i mean when people say things where they clearly don't know what happened, is it good for someone else to jump in and tell them so that you don't have to?

10:36 am

ToeSockMonkey

MM - Yeah Dumbo is a tear jerker!

10:37 am

ToeSockMonkey

Hurshy - yeah it's nice to have that. I would rather not bring it up. I think everyone can understand why. It's hard to have to chat about it when I just want to not be angry about it any more. So to all the ones that pipe in, THANK YOU

10:37 am

hurshy

ok, good, that is what i figured but i wanted to make sure.

10:38 am

the third letter must be r, e, or a. the a seems pretty much impossible, and e unlikely, so i'm betting r.

10:47 am

11:24 am

hurshy

the go 5/20 i am missing, i believe rycaut is saying is yiddish

11:25 am

go5/20 should not be a word

11:25 am

kristinc

mm-oh brother! Thanks

11:25 am

sherb

hey smaller!!! :D

11:25 am

rycaut

it is a word - but from yiddish, hence the spelling... (that's a hint btw)

11:26 am

Karys

hannah....2 vowels on the end of ni5/10

11:26 am

dl88

hannah lou - take you ni5/10 and add the vowels used in the word to the end

11:26 am

hurshy

let me think, i know only a couple yiddish words so am not familiar with the spelling patterns overall

11:26 am

caitlyn

hannah add 2 different vowels to the end of ni5/10

11:26 am

smaller

HEY sherb!!

musicmom

Okay the yiddish go 5/20 is not happening for me - any help?

11:49 am

GreyWoulf

Miy - I haven't seen or heard from you in ages so you get a bigger hug to make up for lost time :)

... So why do you need fake blood?

11:50 am

musicmom

Thanks Mikey _ I hope that says Happy Birthday<G>

11:50 am

Miyavi_fan

oooh Woulf...LONG story...^^

well, not really, I just need to make some clothes look bloodstained...er *coughs* it's a bizarre life I lead, bizarre I say XD

11:51 am

sherb

it's going well, Schro, thanks for asking... I'm enjoying it... most of the time... :)

11:51 am

MikeyInBerlin

ja; it sure does, Musicmom! ;-) and it's ok, GreyWoulf; i was very quiet, with my nose in the grid.....and i'm rather tired today, but surviving! :-P

11:52 am

rycaut

any help on the qu 5/16?

11:52 am

GreyWoulf

Miy -OK, but, remember that rusty water stains can be a good substitute from a distance depending on the material ;)

11:52 am

caitlyn

Mikey im sory you havent been well whats been wrong?

11:52 am

Angelsong

for those who missed it earlier, there's a Birthday List thread on BA under Meet and Greet, if you want your birthday month and day included on the Resource page.

11:52 am

inge

Musicmom, actually German does not have a direct "Happy Birthday" phrase. Literally Mickey's phrase says All good things for your birthday.

11:53 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL Woulf!!!

...you sound like you've done this before...XD

11:53 am

SarahBellum

How many Q words are there? I have two.

11:53 am

MikeyInBerlin

Miyavi_fan, try ketchup/tomato sauce and tea or hot chocolate, blended.....you'll have to adjust til you have just the right shade for a bloodstain, but should be pretty good! :-P

11:54 am

musicmom

Thanks Inge --- and Mikey

11:54 am

inge

By the way, Musicmom, I have been eating birthday cake for an hour, but haven't send my wishes to you yet. Here they are!!!!!

11:54 am

rycaut

I only have one - need help with the other

11:54 am

GreyWoulf

There are many sides to the woulf, Miy.... ;)

11:54 am

MikeyInBerlin

yes, Inge; but it's how we wish someone a happy/good birthday, so i didn't think an explanation was needed, really.....but thanks for supplying one, all the same! ;-)

11:55 am

Schroeder

Well Sherb enjoying work most of the time is better than not at all.....

11:55 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao, Mikey...I'm disturbed everyone knows how to do this XD

Woulf...should I ask?! Do I want to know? ^^;

11:55 am

musicmom

Thanks inge. I just took the cake out of the oven but don't get to eat it until tomorrow when my mom and grandma get here.

11:55 am

SarahBellum

One is a game played outdoors.

11:56 am

rycaut

I could have sworn I had tried that... got it - thanks

11:56 am

GreyWoulf

Felecitations on your natal anniversary, Musicmom!!

11:57 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh no, Caitlyn; i'm *very* well, not to worry.....i'm just in the somewhat lengthier than i'd like process of healing from a mitral valve repair surgery i just had this winter; but i'm doing well.....just have to realize my limits, sometimes! :-P want to get back to doing all my normal activities, which gets frustrating, to say the least!

11:57 am

musicmom

Thank you thank you GW. A greeting worthy of royalty

11:57 am

MikeyInBerlin

well don't be 'disturbed' on my account, Miyavi_fan; i've been performing in musical theatre most of my life, so i do know a thing or two about these things! :-P lol

11:58 am

sherb

time to eat... back later :)

11:58 am

Schroeder

Bye Sherb!!!

11:59 am

GreyWoulf

Miy -- and for my part, I know a fair number of theater majors or medieval/civil war reenactors, among other hobbies :D

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

lawl, Mikey...that's what they all say XD thanks for the ideas, though! *evil grin and is away to raid the kitchen*

now. step two. How to cut a perfect circle in the back of a leather jacket...

11:59 am

caitlyn

Bye sherb..............Glad you are recovering well Mikey

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

Why, Woulf...you think you know a man...XD

11:59 am

musicmom

Miya - trace your circle on. Poke the scissors through the center and cut out to the marked edge.

12:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Miy - how big a circle?

12:01 pm

musicmom

Okay. going to take a break and do somethings before the kids get home. Be back in a little bit to finish.

12:01 pm

Miyavi_fan

erm...sort of...big enough for most of my back to show through, or the middle anyway...*thinking* probably about...a hands' span in radius? *coughs*

lol Musicmom...that's what I thought...and many a fine leather jacket I've ruined XD I think I need sharper scissors...or a SAW...

12:02 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; why would 'they all' say that, Miyavi_fan? lol; it's in my Babble profile :-P

12:02 pm

caitlyn

See you later musicmom

12:03 pm

musicmom

use an exacto knife. It will give you a smoother cut. Also. If you can temporarily baste the jacket to a piece of posterboard (card stock) it will stabilize it so it won't crinkle in the cutting. Rubber cement would work. Cut through the jacket and the board.

12:03 pm

MikeyInBerlin

aw; thank you, Caitlyn.....but of course i am; i'm a very healthy individual, so not to worry! ;-)

12:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Sometimes heat can help in the process, Miy -- try in a spot in the center of the circle you are cutting out, to see if a heated cutting implement will help you out, the leather will melt rather than cut -- just watch out for the smell ;)

12:03 pm

musicmom

bye cait

12:04 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ja, musicmom; an exacto knife is good.....or a scalpel.....as i found out this past winter, they cut really well :-/ lol

12:04 pm

GreyWoulf

It all depends on the quality of the leather

12:04 pm

Miyavi_fan

well, you know, it's a strange world out there Mikey...dipping into your profile now, and envying you! My favourite band went to Berlin...so why, whyyyy won't they come to England?! >.<

woo, Woulf, Musicmom, thank you! I was just sort of...*hackhackhack...oh Â£^%$^+"!* before, thankyou!

12:05 pm

MikeyInBerlin

*wonders why Miyavi_fan wants to make it look like she's been stabbed in the back?* :-/

12:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

=O sounds a little ominous, Mikey, what happened?!

12:06 pm

Miyavi_fan

oh, that...well...er...^^;

I'l l just say, it's a music thing...otherwise it's a long and tedious explanation XD

12:06 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm, Miyavi_fan; maybe 'cos this is a great place to be.....and party??? ;-) also, well; what can i say.....i'm here, of course.....so they wanted to party with me! :-D ja; and like i'd know who you're referring to? :-P hehe!

12:07 pm

MikeyInBerlin

oh, nothing much, Miyavi_fan.....just a little surgery :-P

12:09 pm

rycaut

any hints on the s 7's?

12:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

O.O blimey, Mikey...surgery+scalpel= *fwah*

lol, uh, not sure if you'll have heard of them but they're called Dir en Grey :) They're a Japanese band, they played in some MTV...er, thing...

12:09 pm

MikeyInBerlin

all righty then, Miyavi_fan; so i shall just continue to wonder, then :-/

12:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

(Lol, and I'm sure they did want to party with you, just as long you kept the scalpels well hidden)

12:09 pm

GreyWoulf

well, I gotta go -- I'll be back later -- at least I got 34 and some chat with my firends before the return to mundania :)

(*HUGS*) for all!!

12:10 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; think i've seen the name, Miyavi_fan, but doesn't mean much to me.....no clue about them, other than what you've just told me! :-P

12:10 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hey; i don't have any scalpels, Miyavi_fan.....i'm not a surgeon!!! :-/

12:11 pm

MikeyInBerlin

and.....i didn't ask for any as 'souvenirs', either! :-P

12:11 pm

Miyavi_fan

LOL Mikey, it's probably better for you, mental-healthwise, if you keep it that way XD the bare minimum of knowledge about Dir en Grey is more than the normal person needs...

*BIG hugs* later Woulf!

12:12 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oh dear...I've just got the unfortunate mental image of a mad Mikey running amok around Berlin with scalpels...

forgive my overactive imagination O.O;;

12:13 pm

rycaut

si 7/28?

12:14 pm

ylleria

to 6/18? I've got 6 left to go, but I'm struggling with all of them :s

12:15 pm

torgone

to6/18 = more stylish

12:15 pm

MikeyInBerlin

oh; but i'm not 'mad', Miyavi_fan! :-/ not at all!!! and i want as far away from any more scalpels as i can get, thank you very much! :-/

12:15 pm

bex777

si 7= si + vowel +ni4/4

12:16 pm

rycaut

thanks! got the s's done!

12:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

LOL!!! Well, I'm interested now...tell me the whole, gooory story XD *sits down on a cushion and looks up expectantly*

time for the Miyavi fan's bedtime story XD

12:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ach; well really, i wasn't about to do that, Miyavi_fan :-/

12:19 pm

Miyavi_fan

ooh :/ sorry! *remembers her manners*

12:19 pm

MikeyInBerlin

but, if you really want to know all about it, look up 'mitral valve repair surgery' in a web search.....i'm sure you'll find loads of info about it :-P

12:21 pm

Miyavi_fan

ah...sounds a little scary, but away I go ^^

12:21 pm

ylleria

to 6/18, anyone? please?

12:22 pm

Vicuna

to6/18 - more like PM Blair

12:22 pm

caitlyn

Im goimg now have a nice evening all .Catch you tomorrow ...bye

12:22 pm

Miyavi_fan

=O my Gosh...I hope you're feeling all better now!

12:22 pm

ruthy

bye caitlyn

12:23 pm

ylleria

that's a brilliant clue , Vicuna, thanks!

12:23 pm

dl88

ylleria - add a third vowel to your to 5/10 ending

12:24 pm

Vicuna

So does that mean you're done now, ylleria?

12:25 pm

MikeyInBerlin

well, ja; getting there, Miyavi_fan.....not too bad at all anymore, as long as i don't overdo things, as i've had a tendency to lately :-P

12:25 pm

ylleria

just the two ne 6's and 3 re's to go. any clues for the ne's would be appreciated?

12:25 pm

Vicuna

ne6's differ only in their final letter. The first is a water sprite.

12:26 pm

Miyavi_fan

O.O;;; stay home and REST, RIGHT NOW!

...

otherwise you'll have ME to answer to...:)

12:29 pm

ylleria

Hmm, the only name for a water sprite I know is naiad. :s

12:29 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ja, Miyavi_fan; that's what i am doing.....but i can't stay home *all* the time.....i do get out and about here and there.....not an 'invalid', you know! ;-)

12:32 pm

Miyavi_fan

*nodnod* of course...but...get better ^^

12:33 pm

stidmama

hi all! taking a short break from outside chores so grant has a chance to babble...

12:35 pm

MikeyInBerlin

i *am*, Miyavi_fan.....i'm working on that daily, really i am! :-P

12:35 pm

Vicuna

ne6 - start with a misspelling of opp of far, then add opp of ego (or abbreviation for drivers lisence)

12:35 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hi there again, stidmama! :-) i'm in the 'ni' section now.....working away on it here! :-P

12:36 pm

ylleria

Thanks Vicuna. That's not a word I've ever come across.

12:36 pm

Miyavi_fan

12:36 pm

stidgrant

hi all! hows the puzzle?

12:37 pm

Vicuna

You're welcome, ylleria. Did you get the second? Diff last letter, but you have to build the whole word in the other direction.

12:37 pm

ExWren

I am having a problem with the last re6/18...the last re of all, can someone put me out of my misery? please?

12:37 pm

12:40 pm

MikeyInBerlin

'try harder', Miyavi_fan? can't really do much better than i am, i don't think? :-/

12:41 pm

MikeyInBerlin

12:41 pm

Anyway it won't be HERE & we won't be playing so how can it be playbabble? It could only be a poor replica. I wopuld look for some legal advice tho'

Yep. Thomas Dippel is the culprit. Here he is (I think):

Dr. G there IS something you can do. Report this schlub to his provider. They should remove him asap for stealing your game.

4:42 pm

I took a look at the Danish version. Cant imagine it getting any players except Danes, and there are very few of them...compared to English speakers. dr. God Could you copywrite the English version at least?

4:43 pm

DarleenMB

We've had members of the lampworking community have their bead pictures stolen off their websites and used in catalogs from China to India and places in between. The gist of all the conversations has been REPORT THE THEFT to whoever is providing web space to these clowns and the sites will be removed.

Hi cybernan!!!!! Long live your icon!!!!!

5:04 pm

boy am i glad you straightened that outHurshy. I was wondering how a d made a plural

5:04 pm

dr 7?

5:04 pm

Hi Mamabear

5:05 pm

dr 7: the act of doing dr 5

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

inge

Mamabear, she will outlive us all.

5:07 pm

cybernan

given her mother's longevity -- I would think Wills will have a long wait for his turn!

5:08 pm

inge

sort of like his great uncle (?) Edward???

5:08 pm

hurshy

doesn't it depend more on when chuck pops off? (he should abdicate in favor of the better (looking) man)

5:09 pm

inge

I am loosing track of the British genealogy. Which Edward was in the sidelines before WWI? He made the Homburg hat famous, youknow

5:10 pm

mamabear

well yeah, inge.... look at the life she lives!!!!! Like royalty, for crying out loud!!! LOL

5:11 pm

snowyowl

that would have been Edward 7th inge. Edward 8th abdicated in the late 1930s

5:13 pm

cybernan

A little bias, there, Hurshy?

5:14 pm

chic

Is Elizabeth the Queen Mum now that her mom is gone?

5:14 pm

mab

Well, hurshy, all I know is that there was a time when some people thought the queen would step aside so Charles could be king. I think, though, that she has no intention of handing over the sceptor in the forseeable future. Perhaps when the time comes, Charles will be too elderly himself and will let the throne go to whichever of those two young men is the eldest.

5:16 pm

hurshy

nah, she's too ashamed of charles to abdicate and let him be king. he hasn't upheld the family dignity well. she ain't going anywhere until she takes a permanent vacation.

5:16 pm

mab

Elizabeth will be queen mum when she leaves the throne.

5:16 pm

hurshy

william is eldest (and cutest!)

5:17 pm

hurshy

why does talking about british royalty make me want to talk as american as i possibly can? i hardly ever say "ain't"

5:17 pm

cybernan

If that is the case the next person who could possibly be Queen Mum will be Williams wife --- Camilla will never have the title of Queen.

5:18 pm

mab

Yes, I think that Charles failed his mum - he wavered (a lot) from his duty. Or maybe he brought the royals into the 20th century, if not the 21st, I don't know.

5:19 pm

hurshy

william is dating someone - lucky lucky gal

5:20 pm

cybernan

Thought the rags had him eloping?!! --- or eloped already?

5:20 pm

KatieMcG

Hurshy I wouldn't say that with our press, I pity her

5:20 pm

inge

All I remember from history lesson is taht Edward 7th was a longterm playboy because his MUM wasn't giving up the trhone. So he ended up in Bab Homburg, the spa of all the royal cousins, and bought himself a hat, that became known was the Homburg. My dad was director of that hat factory.

5:20 pm

mab

Eloped! Oh-oh.

5:21 pm

hurshy

well, yes, there is the whole publicity thing. :(

5:21 pm

KatieMcG

He's just joined the army, training to be an officer. I'll let you know if the eloping news breaks here :)

5:22 pm

mab

That's so interesting, Inge. I was wondering the other day if the Homburg would ever make a comeback (other than with certain sects of Orthodox Jews). I think hairstyles will have to change first.

5:22 pm

chic

thanx Mab for answering my question.

5:22 pm

KatieMcG

The British press do seem to build people up just so they can knock them down, you end up just feeling sorry for them, we are particularly bad with sporting people

5:23 pm

mamabear

Well, cherrio, chaps!!!! I'm FINALLY leaving work... what a long day!!! Chic - I'll buzz ya, ok?

5:23 pm

hurshy

our press does the same thing

5:24 pm

chic

ok Mama!

5:24 pm

Bye MamaBear.

*mamabear exits log doing the "princess parade wave"* ta ta!

5:24 pm

KatieMcG

I feel really sorry for them when they have a talent that makes them stand out and they want to use and they end up in that sort of limelight.

5:25 pm

inge

Well, it was John F. Kennedy who stopped wearing a hat to any ceremony, so the Homburg hat fell by the wayside. Was it JFK's hairdo, that mad e him stop wearing hats?

5:26 pm

mab

The Kennedys are a hirsute lot.

5:27 pm

inge

Does that mean, we have to wait for a baldy to be elected before the Homburg comes back? No chance with Hillary then.

5:27 pm

mab

JFK did have a lot of hair, but really, I think he just didn't care for wearing hats.

5:28 pm

inge

yea, it is hard to keep a hat on when you are out sailing all the time.

5:29 pm

snowyowl

Well I wouldn't want to be a royal - I know they live lives of great luxury, but it is a very public life now. I think our present Queen is the most concientious of them all. She just brought up 4 spoiled children. She was brought up thinking duty was the most important thing of all and she has served us well -I'm dreing the next lot tho'. Thing is if we got rid of the Royal Family some one would want to be top dog & what would we end up with then? Look at this Cherie Blair thing now - we would be scrutinising every move whoever it was made. Can't bear Cherie personally - but wouldn't want to be her either

5:30 pm

mab

The Kennedys also have very large heads. Have you looked at Teddy's head lately? He could float that thing in a parade. (but I still love him)

5:30 pm

harpjane

Hello! I'm going out tonight so I have to try to get all the words asap....

5:31 pm

Well, I have to fix supper and then watch Wheel of Fortune. Will be back after 7 pm. to give clues, if anyone stillneeds them. Cheerio.

Bye inge :)

All ye newcomers. Read the log, if you can, Dr. God has been plagiarized in Denmakr. Later.

5:34 pm

harpjane

inge-what time of day is this discussed in the log? (i'm on a schedule here!)

5:34 pm

mab

A British friend of mine wonders what will become of the concept of 'duty' when the queen's generation is gone. His mother, although she does not need to do so, still saves little bits of string, etc., and is involved in many voluntary activities.

5:34 pm

snowyowl

I cannot possibly imagine!!! LOL I have mine done at home for Â£5! The more I see of that woman the less I like her! Am hopeless with politics but she really gets to me and she really looks like Cruella De Ville if you look close!

5:34 pm

Hi/bye all you gals, chicks, dames, broads, women, girls, babes, female persons, and also any dudes who might be about. I'll try to be back later for late night festivities ..

LOL Thats right torgone -cover all bases -BYE!!!!!!!!

5:35 pm

I know what you mean. I'm not even having a pop because she did spend that much I just wondered how it was physically possible

5:36 pm

We'll consider ourselves pencilled in, torgone.

5:37 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, Mab; if you're still here, i've just noticed your comment, 'The Kennedys are a hirsute lot.' hmm; anything 'wrong' with being hirsute? sorry; but i *had* to ask :-P

5:39 pm

pbr

Just a quick greeting -- I am just getting ready to leave work -- hopefully I will get back to the grid later, I have 66 more to go -- I think I am to the r's. Be safe!!

5:39 pm

mab

No, not at all Mikey. Don't become self-conscious, now. We were discussing hats. Also some Irish people have big Irish heads. This would have an impact on hat wearing I would think.

5:40 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, ok Mab; i'm not exactly self-conscious, not to worry.....but was rather curious, that's all? ;-)

5:40 pm

snowyowl

I agree mab - a modrn monarchy is a difficult thing & I think Charles would have made a good king if they had kept a firmer grip on him. He is basicly a very old fashioned man & I think he understands the 'duty' concept but his personal life has always been a mess. He should never have married Diana & when he did he should never have carried on with Camilla.

5:40 pm

mab

I think you're feeling defensive about this hair thing, that's what I think.

5:41 pm

cybernan

please--- ti 8?

5:42 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm, Mab? :-/ how on earth have you arrived at the conclusion that i'm feeling 'defensive'? :-( wow; just trying to be humourous.....oh well; think i'll just focus on the grid, and try to finish before bed, then :-/

ty mary

5:45 pm

mab

Yes, in a modern sensibility it seems like the royals should earn their keep by setting a good example, as has the queen (except for those wretched nipping corgis). Charles did marry stupidly, and Dianna arguably didn't help matters. I'm glad he's at least happy now.

5:46 pm

mab

You are Mikey.

5:46 pm

Anytime, Nan!
BTW, Mikey, many of us think hairy men are FABULOUS!

5:59 pm

snowyowl

BryanC on the left of this page is the heading Friends of Babble at the end of that list is Angelsongs Babble Page. everything you need to know about Babble is there. Welcome tot he madness of babble & be warned - It is addictive!

6:00 pm

Welcome Brian. Look at Angelsong's Babble Page, link at the right -- it has lots of info (including how to create an icon) and a list of the first two letters of each word in the grid. Just ask if you need anything else.

6:00 pm

6:03 pm

hmm? i am what, Mab? sheesh; you're surely not trying to tell me i'm being something i know darned well i'm not, and wasn't even thinking or feeling? if so, my goodness; how highly presumptuous.....wow; ok....i think it's rather sad when one can't tease in a friendly, good humoured manner without this reaction, really? but by all means; think what you want, if that 'works' for you.....makes no odds to me, really :-/ *shrugs*

6:03 pm

mikey, being teased by mab is like getting a big loving hug!

6:11 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; ok, Mab.....as all you said to me was 'You are Mikey.' with no indication it wasn't serious, such as the winking text emote i used earlier, i really didn't know how else to take that; especially with you using a full stop after it, it seemed to be a statement? sorry if i misinterpreted, but that is what it looked like :-/

6:11 pm

Yeh I finished, sleep is calling. See you all tomorrow.

Thanks for your help with MSN & the chat Mikey.

6:12 pm

wait, wait,
i thought queen mum referred to the mother of the reigning person? so that would have been elizabeth's mother, eliz being the actual queen? am i just wrong? but there have been other royals heartily disliked besides camilla (i like her fine), i think she will be queen one day, but not queen mum because she isn't the mother of anyone actually ascending the throne.

10:46 pm

Angelsong

The Babbler's Birthdays section of the Resource page is coming along quite nicely indeed, just FYI.

10:47 pm

mab

fe6 is a charge for services, with a suffix.

10:47 pm

Minski

I have that one Luw. I need the one above it.

10:47 pm

Minski

does anyone have the 1st fa5/20?

10:51 pm

stidmama

fa 5/20: a different way to spell a sprite that seems like a butterfly...

10:51 pm

mab

fa is a variation on the spelling of the little sprites whose queen is me.

10:52 pm

bonkler

lost me on the dr 7 clue, care to simplify for my simple mind?

10:52 pm

Minski

Got the FA. Thanks. I didn't realize it was the same word spelled differently.

10:53 pm

Minski

1st find the dr4/5 then add a 3 letter ending onto it.

10:53 pm

Angelsong

Anyone who wants to can post the month and day of their birth in the Birthday List thread on BA Meet and Greet. I will pick them up from there and include them in the Babble Resource page :)

10:53 pm

mab

bonkler, use your dr4/5 with the double vowel and tack on a suffix.

10:53 pm

Minski

BTW - I didn't know the dr4/5 was a word so just go by points and monkeytype.

10:53 pm

stidmama

dr 7: take the dr 4 that is a large plant and add the gerund end*** to it!

10:54 pm

bonkler

thank you, that is an odd looking word

10:55 pm

stidmama

thanks Angelsong!

10:56 pm

mab

dr4/5 evidently is scots for 'to endure.'

ne 6/18 is the same as the previous ne 6, different last consonant
