gromit

JBs - awwwwwww! I love kittys! For a minute I thought it was Olivia (the pig, with a tutu).

12:04 am

stidmama

148 -- that's why I have so many already! LOL

thanks for the M&Ms JB!

12:05 am

bbnaz

Hello and here we go!

12:05 am

JBsAnno

Firefly, it gets to a point where I'm so teary and blurry eyed that I just have to go to bed.
Usually not up this late, but family issues have made it so I'm home with just the kitties for the next few days.

12:05 am

stidmama

greetings, birdsandnests!

My real name is Kathleen also :-)

12:06 am

stidmama

i object to 'meese' not being a word!

12:06 am

JBsAnno

Gromit, someone yesterday also saw a pig.

Maybe I should find some ink blots... and run a survey!

12:06 am

wassup

r 7/28

12:06 am

JBsAnno

I second the objection!

12:07 am

licketySplitAUS

Babble is an excuse for literate, like minded, geniune "people lovin", internet word game junkies to meet new people and feel good about themselves. I love being on the fringe!

12:07 am

gromit

Ha! knut - you're Olivia is beautiful!!!!!!!! I love the name. My sister is named Olivia.

12:07 am

knutmeg

Thank you Gromit. :-)

12:08 am

bbnaz

JB - it looks like a flying pig to me too.......

12:08 am

stidmama

I second Lickety's opinion!

Have some M&Ms folks, and wassup baked cookies -- are they cool enough to eat yet?

12:08 am

JBsAnno

Look out, lickety is a little "edgy" tonight!

(That's for using the word "literate" at 1am, silly!)
<grin>

12:09 am

JBsAnno

Okay, how many see a pig?

12:09 am

licketySplitAUS

JBs - I can't spell past 8pm - let alone midnight!

12:09 am

wassup

sorry stid. i haven't made them yet. i got sucked back into the babble vacuum. i'm going to make them tonight though, even if it's tomorrow.

12:10 am

knutmeg

I can't vote, I've seen the picture of that kitten somewhere else beore, so I see a kitten in a tutu just fine, JB. :-)

12:10 am

firefly779

i see a kitty JB

12:10 am

stidmama

*reluctantly raises hand for pig*

but it's a DANCING pig! :-)

12:10 am

wassup

pigkitty.

12:10 am

JBsAnno

Okay, WWWAAAAYYYY too much chocolate for Stidmama!

12:11 am

JBsAnno

LOL wassup!

12:11 am

gromit

JB - do you know the Olivia I'm referring to?

12:12 am

stidmama

*blush*

oh dear, forgot to change into my icon for today... BRB

12:12 am

wassup

ha ha... i just found an en5 that made me giggle. :) I know, I'm 8.

12:13 am

JBsAnno

It's a children's book character, yes?
(referencing recent chat from last puzzle - I remember Gomer Pyle original episodes, NOT on Nickelodeon or whatever, so I was past childhood when Oliva was born!)

12:14 am

wassup

I LOVE Olivia books. They're so my daughter. She IS Olivia, only child, not pig. And not named Olivia.

12:14 am

gromit

There is a new one. From a children's book. Lemme see if I can find it.

12:14 am

bbnaz

JB -- I too remember the original episodes, not reruns. Gads.......Sgt Carter.

12:17 am

stidmama

okay, now appropriate to the day...

birdsandnests -- just noticed you went pro! when did that happen?

12:18 am

licketySplitAUS

When it goes flip,
with much haste,
I flick a switch,
and copy and paste.

The Clues are done,
So go have some fun!!!! Ciao

12:18 am

gromit

just changed my icon **refresh**

It's a very small picture of Olivia

12:18 am

JBsAnno

Um, wassup, it's way way past my bedtime, I think you are saying you have a wonderful daughter whose character is much like Olivia the Pig in the children's book, but your daughter is not a pig?
Help me here! (quick check to ensure "here" is not in the grid!)

12:18 am

knutmeg

Thanks, Lickety!

12:18 am

wassup

lickety=my hero. Thanks!

12:18 am

12:19 am

JBsAnno

Okay, Gromit - now THAT looks like a pig!!

12:20 am

gromit

wassup - I love Olivia too. I read the book to my younger son. He would laugh so hard at her attitude.

12:20 am

birdsandnests

stidmama - i went pro sometime in early march... ive been playing since last spring

12:20 am

wassup

gromit, she's so cute! i like the bows on her ears.

12:21 am

stidmama

that is weird -- because when the grid just came up, you didn't show as having an icon on my computer.... :-/

maybe i should turn in anyway -- my clock says only 10:20, but I think i'm on UK time for some reason! feels like the middle of the night!

12:22 am

stidmama

yep, that does it. I am getting things that shouldn't be words... :-P

good night all! see you tomorrow/later!

12:22 am

wassup

night stidmama. see you tomorrow!

12:22 am

JBsAnno

I vote for bed!!!
Good chatting with you all - I'll be back on in about 8 hours.
Nite, s-mama!!
Nite, everybody!

12:23 am

birdsandnests

its not too weird... i didnt ever have one til today... i figured that i didnt really need one if i wasn't participating in the chat!

12:23 am

wassup

G'night Stidmama & JBs!

12:23 am

gromit

wassup - have you ever read any Kevin Henkes? Chester's way or Wemberly worried?

12:24 am

stidmama

Thanks for clearing that up for me, kathleen!

Will see you tomorrow, I hope!

12:24 am

wassup

I don't think so, are they children's books?

12:24 am

birdsandnests

i hope so too!

12:24 am

stidmama

12:26 am

wassup

We got a new library this weekend in town. I'll go look for those this week. I need to be better about reading to my kids. I am selfish. I want to read to ME!

12:26 am

bbnaz

Nighty nite Stid.

12:27 am

birdsandnests

good night all...

12:28 am

licketySplitAUS

So who's still playing at the moment?

12:28 am

firefly779

ugh, how many puzzles do i have to type in 'aten' before i realize it isn't going to work?!

12:28 am

wassup

gromit, i like the david books. i don't remember the author, but my favorite is "No, David". The little boy in the book is a terror and looks just like my son did at about a year.

12:29 am

gromit

wassup - yeah, me too. You'll enjoy reading these to your kiddos. Also, look for "The Seven Silly Eaters".

12:29 am

wassup

I'm playing, poorly.

12:29 am

LeslieAnn

lickety, how long have you been pro?

12:29 am

lodestar

I was... but I'm off to dreamland. I have a fair start at 25 words... fair for me!

12:29 am

gromit

I'm here Lickety.

12:30 am

wassup

night lodestar

gromit, i made a list. i'll look for all of them. i love libraries.

12:30 am

knutmeg

I'm playing, Lickety. Much concentration going on without much result. Might head to bed shortly, though.

12:30 am

gromit

wassup - David... Don't know those. I'm going to look for them.

12:30 am

licketySplitAUS

About 90 seconds. I thought I should probably upgrade, even though I don't play.

12:31 am

LeslieAnn

well, congrats lickety. what an.... evil duck? you are

12:31 am

licketySplitAUS

Everything's just Rubber Duck Duckie!!

12:32 am

mrpresident

you went PRO!!

Congratulations
*~*~ *~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

12:33 am

licketySplitAUS

Well I'm going to play this one today - seeing as though I went Pro ;-) I'm going to see how many I can get before I look at any clues!

12:33 am

wassup

mrp, there's nothing funnier than your icon.

12:33 am

renfield

look at you lickety!!!!! you look ducky!!!!

12:34 am

licketySplitAUS

wassup - I agree - It's like - Awwwwww that's just too ......... FUNNY!

12:34 am

LeslieAnn

where's babbler? we should have a theme day of cats wearing hats in honor of mr. p

12:34 am

cybernan

I'm off --- only got 88, but the brain refuses to stay awake any longer! :)

12:34 am

LeslieAnn

maybe that's a bit narrow, though

12:34 am

LeslieAnn

good night nan!

12:34 am

wassup

i'm all for that idea. i'll find a neighborhood cat and dress it up for the camera.

12:35 am

LeslieAnn

hope it's a friendly one

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

Congrats on going pro, Lickety!!

Leslie -- it could be a Stuff on Cats day :)
after all there is a whole website dedicated to that! ;D

12:37 am

LeslieAnn

that's true, i've seen it, though i prefer cats in sinks

12:37 am

bbnaz

hullo GW and Nan

12:37 am

wassup

yeah, can i use one of my dogs?

12:38 am

bbnaz

and Ren and Les and MrP

12:38 am

LeslieAnn

how about "dress up a pet" day, that would be a good theme

12:38 am

bbnaz

so many folks who have been more than kind and friendly to me!

12:38 am

gromit

So it's cats then?

12:39 am

LeslieAnn

oh not today. today is shakespeare's birthday. we're thinking about future themes.

12:39 am

wassup

i think any animal in clothes is funny, rabbits, lizards, hamsters...

12:40 am

renfield

ok by me cats in hats

12:41 am

firefly779

spiders in clothes, not funny
(I guess spiders are insects tho, not animals?)

12:41 am

LeslieAnn

firefly brings up a good point.

12:41 am

gromit

Ah, good old Bill. How old?

12:42 am

wassup

hmm, agreed. spiders aren't funny, ever.

12:42 am

SweetTooth

Se 8/45

12:42 am

firefly779

thanks LA ;)

12:42 am

GreyWoulf

What about Ms. Spider -- the kids cartoon?

12:43 am

wassup

yeah, she's harmless.

12:43 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, i've never seen it, but i don't think it would be cute. i didn't even like charlotte that much.

12:43 am

firefly779

a tarantula was funny when it landed on the guy's face in the original Home Alone movie and he screamed like a girl...but it was really the scream that was funny, not the spider

12:46 am

12:46 am

LeslieAnn

dalmatian, looks like you conquered google images

12:48 am

licketySplitAUS

We had a rabbit donated to us when we bought the cage it used to live in. This fluffy white rabbit was violent! It would charge your legs with it's head, and then get it's teeth and nails into you. It used to live on a balcony over-looking hundreds of houses. I wanted to dress up that Animal! Something demoralising!

12:48 am

dalmatian5

No LeslieAnn, actually I have not. I went to Google and found the icon I wanted. I copied it and clicked into Babble URL but when I went back to paste neither copy or paste was highlighted. This icon is from the only site I have found I can manage. But, I will keep trying!

12:50 am

LeslieAnn

huh, that's weird. maybe try control+v, that pastes on my computer

12:50 am

LeslieAnn

you could have dressed it up like the rabbit from monty python, lickety. sounds like it would have been easy.

12:51 am

dalmatian5

Thanks, LeslieAnn, you are going to get me through this yet and I appreciate it!

12:53 am

licketySplitAUS

LeslieAnn - is that the killer rabbit? The one that flies?

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

that's what i was thinking :)

12:54 am

wassup

That would be the ferocious rabbit.

12:57 am

GreyWoulf

Yes... The Vorpal Bunny

12:57 am

licketySplitAUS

Geez, I'm not good at this game at all! !!! Too many words that I just don't know. Practice, Practice.

12:57 am

LeslieAnn

hey, there's this link to the right, it's called lickety's babble clues, it is very helpful.

12:59 am

licketySplitAUS

Na come on, who needs clues! I've got 21 words so far - how many are there?

12:59 am

LeslieAnn

148

12:59 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh Crikey!

1:01 am

gromit

67 down, 81 to go. My eyelids insist on closing. I'm fading fast...

1:01 am

licketySplitAUS

I just found a good one, and here is a really bad clue :

Read the grid for a bit like a book, stop quickly and turn around.

1:02 am

LeslieAnn

that is a bad clue. ;)

1:02 am

wassup

me too. im really going to get those cookies made so i can go to sleep and wake up to cookies and coffee. nothing better. :) Goodnight everyone!

1:02 am

LeslieAnn

motenu = not a word

1:02 am

licketySplitAUS

I am SOOOO bad at giving clues - I think I'll just be quiet now ;-))

1:03 am

LeslieAnn

mmm, yummy wassup. save some for us. :)

1:03 am

LeslieAnn

just kidding lickety :)

1:03 am

gromit

night wassup!!

1:04 am

licketySplitAUS

I know LeslieAnn!! Even my scarcasm is aweful

1:05 am

licketySplitAUS

Night wassup!

1:05 am

LeslieAnn

oh ok good. some people get offended easily, and those people usually don't end up being friends with me. :)

1:05 am

gromit

Ok, I'm going to sign off. Hopefully, I'll catch some of you tomorrow and finish this thing!

1:06 am

LeslieAnn

good night gromit!

1:06 am

jeffer

lickety an excellent clue but then i had the word already

1:07 am

licketySplitAUS

LeslieAnn - it takes a lot to get me offended ;-) If you were to get close, you'd be hearing about it from me ;-)

1:07 am

licketySplitAUS

jeffer - we must think alike! Got a good one for me?

1:07 am

LeslieAnn

excellent. and after all that, i think i found the word you were talking about - what you look at at a restaurant?

1:08 am

licketySplitAUS

Bye gromit!

1:08 am

jeffer

ok but what words do you have?

1:09 am

licketySplitAUS

1:09 am

LeslieAnn

ooh i found the se 8 all bye myself. how exciting.

1:09 am

jeffer

those who work after the washers ???

1:10 am

licketySplitAUS

LeslieAnn - that's an awesome clue - I didn't have that one - But I did have something that everthing's made of, just above it in the same direction.

1:10 am

LeslieAnn

oh i see what you were saying. man, we are all so smart.

1:11 am

licketySplitAUS

jeffer - I got it! I had the non plural one - but not that one. Thanks for that!

1:13 am

4:32 am

movieman

Happy St. George's Day to all my fellow English Babblers, and warm greetings to everyone else!!!!!!!!

4:42 am

Eva

good morning everyone. This looks like a rather sane puzzle. But looks are often deceptive.
Seems like the plural of the hawaian goose must be the same as the singular?

Does anyone have a clue for the se8?

4:43 am

movieman

Morning, Eva.....

I don't have the se8 either, but then I'm useless with the long ones......

4:46 am

jean1953

good morning everyone:)

4:46 am

Gwen

se8/45 the one that sits beside you

4:48 am

movieman

ty, gwen......

That's one of the 8's.....do you have the other?

4:49 am

Gwen

he8/70 look at the point total

4:51 am

Gwen

he7 & he8 builds on the he5/22

4:54 am

Eva

Not a good omen-suddenly lost my connectin and it took all this time to get back. Probaby means it's going to be a rocky babble day for me. Anyway, thanks for the se8 Gwen!

4:55 am

movieman

Gwen - which he5/22 does the 7 & 8 build off?

The er or the es?

4:57 am

Eva

exactly my question movieman!

4:58 am

Eva

...not that I can see either of them, but at least it will tell me what not to drive myself crazy with.

4:58 am

Gwen

er

5:00 am

Eva

gwen-after the he5, does it finish downwards or upwards?

5:01 am

movieman

Got 'em, but I had to use the dictionary.....

Anyway, ty again, gwen....

5:01 am

Eva

okay movieman-give us a hand here please?

5:05 am

movieman

Eva - the last three letters of the he9/70 sound like frozen water.....

5:05 am

movieman

Sorry, I meant the he8/70......

5:06 am

Eva

Thanks movieman!!!!Never would have gotten that and can't google anything else because I'd probably never get back to the grid.

5:07 am

movieman

yw, eva.....

5:08 am

Eva

Anyone have a list of the 7's? I have:
he7/52
ri7/28
si7/28
te7 /32
te7/28

5:08 am

Eva

and may I mention once again how much I hate re's?

5:10 am

sprite

They're not as bad as Ks though.

5:10 am

movieman

Eva - I have all of your 7's except the te7/32.....

Cluez plz?

k's are much more definite-you never know what you can re and whatyou can't.

5:12 am

Eva

plural of te6/21-which builds on te4/5 which is the homonym for your other te4/5

5:12 am

sprite

Yeah, Ks are much more definite. I can't definitely find them. :)

5:13 am

movieman

ty, eva.....

5:14 am

Eva

LOL Sprite.

5:15 am

Eva

any clues for the me7?

5:15 am

movieman

eva - I just found an em7/32....

It sounds like the plural of those things women use on their nails....

5:18 am

Eva

great one movieman!

5:19 am

Obelix loves them.

5:20 am

movieman

ty gwen.....

5:21 am

Eva

thanks gwen! Knew that all along of course(-: And Sprite, who is Obelix?!

5:23 am

sprite

"Who is Obelix?" ?????
Oh dear. Asterix and Obelix. Cartoon heroes who opposed Caesar. Don't tell me they are no longer known.

5:25 am

Eva

Sprite-I don't think it's a matter of age...I'm 56. They may not have been popular over here. Also, I didn't watch cartoons much as a kid....once we had TV that is. There weren't many, and I found a lot of them frightening.

5:26 am

sprite

Well, actually they were books. Comics. And internationally well known. Perhaps they are called different in english, it is possible. They are originally french.

5:27 am

amandacath

Hi all! have been lurking - Sprite, I wondered if you were going to get that response to Obelix - he and Asterix haven't made it to the States. I'd never heard of them til I moved to Europe.

5:28 am

Eva

thanks amanda for the cultural clarification. Never heard of them before.

5:28 am

sprite

5:28 am

sprite

Of course without the babble spaces.

5:29 am

Eva

Thanks Sprite. I'll look them up later when I dont have to be afraid that I'll never get back.

5:30 am

amandacath

It's actually a real shame that they haven't caught on in the US - they're excellent!

5:30 am

sprite

They are really fun. Witty.

5:31 am

Eva

anyone have a clue for that o in the topline? Probably obvious, but can't see it.

5:33 am

sprite

I am pretty sure it is not Obelix. ;)

5:33 am

Gwen

on5/14 sounds like the crying vegetable

5:34 am

Anyone clue up re: the u's plz?

Has anyone tried Weboggle?

5:44 am

sprite

Lawyer-1! Looooooong time no see. Good to see you and no, I haven't.

5:45 am

Linda0

wot's weboggle?

5:45 am

lawyer-1

Sprite, I'm here daily, just normally quiet. How's that for a lawyer?!

5:46 am

Eva

I tried some internet boggle site a few times. Among normal mortals, i.e. my friends, I do quite well, but this was like being a minnow tossed into a pool of piranhas. They were way, way beyond my skill level.

5:46 am

movieman

Isn't it annoying that the un6 is an adjective but not a verb.....

5:46 am

lawyer-1

www.weboggle.com
You can play individually or as teams.

5:46 am

sprite

Since you can't bill per hour here, I think it is wise, lol. Though you are missed. We recently told all newbies how incredibly smart you are with finding all words, even without any lists.

5:48 am

Eva

44 left to find an nearing Merp feeding time. A rainy, chilly day here, but no complaints as this spring has been exquisite thus far and we need the rain. But the blackflies are already showing up.....way ahead of schedule. We can only hope that they will all hatch and then we'll have a killing frost. Cliff - are you there?

5:50 am

lawyer-1

Not that smart. I just follow all of the clues left by others. And who says I can't charge by the hour?

5:51 am

Eva

Just try to collect though....

5:54 am

sprite

You can charge. It won't work, lol. :)

5:56 am

Sticky tree stuff?

5:58 am

amandacath

Grim - "to misbehave again" or the stuff in trees (same word)

Grim-Bigyen

6:00 am

sprite

That is the last one. The other is same, other middle letter.

6:01 am

amandacath

6:09 am

lshult

thanks again amandacath

6:09 am

amandacath

Anybody know how that he7 got into English? It's German, I'm assuming it came thru Pennsylvania Dutch, but I may be wrong...

6:10 am

amandacath

YW, Ishult

6:12 am

lshult

54 words to go, time to take a break.
later

6:13 am

inge

Good morning. Just had to but in. Obelix and Asterix were offered in foreign language catalogs in the USA but not in the stores,

6:16 am

inge

Being totally biligual I am always amazed to see how many German words have made it into English, especially when there are perfectly good English words to say the same thing.

6:16 am

amandacath

Gotta run! Happy babbling all!

6:44 am

inge

What did I say that noone is chatting for half an hour? Are you all still out there? Everyone gone to church because of the si words in the grid???

6:46 am

Jera

It's you inge... you just totally offended everyone & no one will ever Babble again because of you...

6:46 am

Jera

;P

6:48 am

inge

Wow, I am off to church as well then.

6:49 am

Jera

Have fun... are you finished?

6:50 am

inge

no, I was actually lurking for more clues, when that total silence set in. But I am halfway at 70.

6:51 am

Guten Tag, Mikey!

6:54 am

MikeyInBerlin

hey, Jera!!! :-) (((((hugs)))))
and it's Michael or 'Mikey', Inge ;-)

6:54 am

MikeyInBerlin

breakfast? we've just had lunch! :-P

Jera

Good grief, those girls are awake already... they didn't go to sleep until nearly midnight!

6:57 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol; what time is it where you are, Jera? kids do have energy, you know! :-P

6:58 am

Jera

It's just before 8. Sprite will go to bed early tonight... she needs her 10 hours... that's why she's so beautiful!

7:03 am

Jera

I am such a diplomat... "Good morning, girls! Not everyone is asleep so I'm going to close the door & turn the fan back on..."

7:04 am

inge

Sorry, had to take a call from our daughter in Cleveland. Sorry Mikey for the extra c. Will try to improve.

7:06 am

Yea, finally using the darn X...

7:08 am

Whoo-hoo! Halfway!

7:33 am

7:36 am

knutmeg

Thanks! I'd stick around and give clues, but I've got so much to do before people come over. I'll try to drop in later with hinty goodness. Later, everyone!

7:37 am

faeriekae

Jera the coastline is Shakespear Lake :) I was going to use that and then I found Shakesprars Sister and had to have them.

7:37 am

7:55 am

7:58 am

Vicuna

cliffopa, if you're feeling listless perhaps you should take some of our special vitamin tonic!

7:59 am

cliffopa

lol vicuna! actually, i am sipping on a mimosa. (champagne & OJ for those not familiar)

8:00 am

Vicuna

Well, that ought to pep you up, then!

8:01 am

cliffopa

i'm hoping so :)

8:05 am

cliffopa

anyone have the 2 u words?

8:05 am

Jera

Vicuna, tell me about your icon? It looks quite lively!

8:05 am

Vicuna

"un4/5 us a son is given"

8:07 am

cliffopa

thanks vicuna.

8:07 am

JeeWhiz

Hi Everyone, the other u word, is un 6, un + ta4

8:07 am

Vicuna

Jera, my current icon is head shots of Kenneth Brannagh and Emma Thompson in "Much Ado," which doesn't look very lively. So I'm guessing you must be seeing yesterday's icon for Earth Day. It's a woman dancing with wild animals. It's a response to the ancient Greek and Near Eastern goddess called "Mistress of the Animals." Was that enough info? lol!

8:08 am

cliffopa

thanks jeewhiz!

8:11 am

Jera

Very cool... yes, I need to refresh again...

8:12 am

Jera

Mine is a friend of mine playing Puck

8:13 am

Vicuna

That's cool that you know him, Jera. I can't claim that about Ken and Emma!

8:18 am

Nonny

Good morning all!!! Having a bit of trouble w/the me 6/24. Any help out there???

8:18 am

Jera

Wish I had a pic of me... I was one of the three witches, of course, LOL

8:19 am

Vicuna

What fun, Jera! Was the performance recorded?

8:19 am

macuser

me6/24
males + not him but *** ... change the vowel

8:20 am

Jera

Probably somewhere... some pictures were taken of me, but didn't turn out well... tricky lighting in that scene

8:21 am

cliffopa

macuser - great clue :)

8:21 am

macuser

Thank you cliff :)

8:21 am

Vicuna

Hmm... witches are seldom well-lit!

8:21 am

cliffopa

anyone have the o word?

8:22 am

Vicuna

on4/4 - preposition

8:22 am

Vicuna

Oops, I'm an idiot. Please ignore me!

8:23 am

Nonny

Thanx Macuser. I've been stuck on that one for quite a while.

8:24 am

macuser

You're welcome, nonny :)

8:27 am

Vicuna

on5/14 - sounds like an element (or a little like the tearful veggie with the last two letters changed to get the right point value)

8:27 am

Jera

At least not the stage ones, Vicuna... reals ones actually enjoy sunshine, especially at MidSummer!

8:29 am

cliffopa

ty vicuna.

8:30 am

cliff - is that your cat in your icon?

8:31 am

Jera

Pretty kitty, cliffopa!

8:31 am

faeriekae

I'm back.

8:32 am

faeriekae

Vicuna - love the icon :)

8:32 am

cliffopa

yes macuser - that is Zoey, otherwise known as little miss trouble. she is a bit too dexterous for her own good.

8:32 am

faeriekae

My icon is Shakespears Sisters. British rock band :)

8:33 am

harpjane

good morning

8:33 am

faeriekae

good morning Harp :)

8:33 am

macuser

lol cliff - well, she's very pretty! :)

8:33 am

faeriekae

lovely barbie :)

8:35 am

cliffopa

but Zoey has many redeeming qualities - she loves to cuddle, she is always up for anything involving a chase, and she makes me laugh when she tries to bully the dog.

8:36 am

macuser

yes cliff - they do provide a lot of entertainment. I had to put child-proof locks on my kitchen cabinets to keep mine out of them

8:38 am

macuser

the same cat I found perched on top of the shower head with all fours

8:38 am

macuser

No wonder they need 9 lives ;)

8:40 am

cliffopa

lol - how do cats dream up these stunts!

Im in Michigan where are you Macuser?

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

he8 builds on he5/22--add German word for frozen stuff you put in a drink to make it cold . . .

Rumpelstilsken: Think of German wrod for witchery

8:47 am

macuser

state of misery... er, I mean, Missouri ;)

8:49 am

faeriekae

yup - just saw on the weather channel your getting rain also today. but you know what they say "April Showers bring May flowers" :)

8:50 am

macuser

Yeah - and we've been in a bit of a drought here. And I've yet to get my flowers in the ground :/

8:50 am

JeeWhiz

Come on Macuser, I like living in Missouri. Do you say Missoureee, or Missourah?

8:50 am

macuser

I say... Missoureee

8:51 am

JeeWhiz

Good, you say it correctly.

8:51 am

JeeWhiz

We don't say Mississipah

8:52 am

macuser

I agree... how anyone gets 'Missourah' when it ends in 'i' is beyond me

8:52 am

Uneaixoise

Missourah is a deep south thing :)

8:52 am

JeeWhiz

Exactly!

8:53 am

faeriekae

how about the he 7/52 and 8/70? Please :)

8:54 am

macuser

Most people on the St. Louis side pronounce it, Missourah

8:54 am

JeeWhiz

Okay, Une, that makes sense where you live, but try to say it properly in the future, okay?

8:54 am

Uneaixoise

he8 builds on he5/22--add German word for frozen stuff you put in a drink to make it cold . . .

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

no no no, not ME!!! but I've been around folks in the Deep South (LA, ALA, etc.) who pronounced it that way

8:55 am

JeeWhiz

Use the he5, with the -er, to build on.

8:56 am

JeeWhiz

Oh, yeah, the DEEEP south.

8:56 am

faeriekae

thank you, thank you, thank you, got them :)

8:56 am

Uneaixoise

there are all kinds of weird pronunciations floating around--I remember my dad saying "MassaTOOsetts" :-D

8:56 am

macuser

I like you icon JeeWhiz :) Lucy was my favorite character... my dad used to called me Lucy because I was so crabby... mostly through my teen years ;)

8:57 am

JeeWhiz

Thanks Macuser. I like all of the Snoopy icons, but I guess I look the most like Lucy. (Whispers...maybe a little of the attitude too....)

8:57 am

cliffopa

i was also called lucy (because of teenaged grumpiness)

8:58 am

JeeWhiz

And I have never been called Lucy.

8:59 am

macuser

funnily ironic, cliff :)

9:02 am

Jera

I'm a lot like Peppermint Patty...

9:02 am

JeeWhiz

Jera, sweet and blonde?

9:02 am

cliffopa

another nickname i was given! (my first name is Patti)

9:03 am

macuser

aww... Peppermint Patty was sweet :)

9:04 am

Jera

Redhead, not a girly-girl

9:07 am

macuser

My favorite all-time Peanuts strip was one where Lucy approaches Linus and says, "From now on I intend to move through life with total serenity..." and Linus responds, "Do you really think you can?" ... and Lucy responds, "WELL, WHY NOT?!" Causing Linus to tumble over from her outburst

9:09 am

cliffopa

lol lol lol.
just an fyi, you can find a couple of words derived from how lucy wants to go through life (se words)

9:09 am

faeriekae

LOL Macuser that is cute :)

9:11 am

JeeWhiz

What a helpful chat! Thanks Cliffopa and Macuser.

9:11 am

macuser

whew! scared me there for a sec, cliff... at least I didn't use the actual words ;)

It was very frustrating --- couldn't put my orders in, email anyone or play babble. I missed a teeny grid!

9:25 am

faeriekae

yes it was teeny tiny.

9:26 am

musicmom

I helped BGL finish over the phone. I had left the grid up when I left home = so at least I could see it.

9:27 am

faeriekae

LOL thats great 8)

9:27 am

I did have a very nice visit with my mom and Grandma - they stayed for about 6 hours.

9:28 am

that is always nice Music. There is nothing like visiting with family.

I'm back musicmom... what is your GS question (my favorite kind!)?

9:36 am

musicmom

You can email me if it is too much for the log ---
I'm looking for a quick, inexpensive thank you for all the leaders in the SU. I have been put in charge of our last meeting of the year which is a banquet for the leaders and their daughters.

9:37 am

musicmom

The SU is buying chicken and everyone else is carrying in a dish.

I found one idea --- give everyone a lollipop that says 'You really licked that big job". But I don't love it. Actually I don't love any of the ideas I have found on the web but am not having any of my own that are any better.

9:38 am

musicmom

thanks!

9:39 am

musicmom

this is a polite and friendly grid today - isn't it?

9:40 am

cliffopa

okay, i think i just found the wierdest word today, an me 6/36. here is the definition: "A membrane, especially one of the three membranes enclosing the brain and spinal cord in vertebrates." can't think of a decent clue for it yet.

9:42 am

musicmom

I have that one cliff--- it is odd

9:43 am

bbnaz

going back to the old television shows it is a screwy version of an old private eye show...or at least that is what it reminded me of...goofy I know.

9:43 am

hurshy

if some folks need a clue, perhaps we could say males + things that come out of pens (sp)

9:44 am

musicmom

Hey faerie - one of Capone's fav words is here today

9:44 am

bbnaz

but naturally Hurshy sheds perfect light! Morning Hursh.

9:44 am

hurshy

morning, bbnaz

9:44 am

faeriekae

LOL Music - I thought I was the only one who would see that LOLOL

9:46 am

faeriekae

and recongize it as one of his words.

9:46 am

musicmom

It's kind of bad but I thought of him immediately.

9:47 am

faeriekae

thank goodness "hard" isn't a word today....Capone would really be in is glory then. LOL

9:48 am

musicmom

No doubt.

9:59 am

musicmom

Is that for me hurshy?

10:00 am

10:00 am

Okay... I'm dense - what do I do with them?

10:01 am

Jera

patchwork designs has some cool stuff as well. On ebay there is a company that makes great GS patches & there is one i particular that I love... in the shape of a pocketwatch & has the white rabbit on it & it says "Only ONE hour a week??" LOL! That's more of a leader/coleader thing, though

10:01 am

hurshy

you see i am very unsentimental so if i were one of the people you were giving a thank you gift too, i would want something i could use. if you want a little meaning to it, you could say, "you caused quite a stir!"

10:02 am

hurshy

but i am weird, so feel free to ignore me :)

10:03 am

musicmom

LOVE it Hurshy. How about "We whipped another year" and give them whisks.

Jera --- I love that patch (pocketwatch) idea. Could do that for the leader/co-leaders and a "my mom's a leader" type patch for the girls. Do you know the ebay company name?

10:03 am

hurshy

whisks is good too :)

10:04 am

musicmom

Okay I'm going to go surf the web for patch ideas and whisks and see what I can come up with. Be back a little later to finish the grid. I have to get this event planned because I'm out of town the week before it and only have this coming week for prep.

10:05 am

Jera

No, but just do a search in the patches section & you will probably find more than you ever dreamed of, LOL

10:05 am

musicmom

BTW - I knew I should have asked first - I spent hours this week looking at website ideas for this. Thank you Jera and Hurshy - you guys are terrific.

10:06 am

hurshy

any time you want bizarre ideas, i'm your girl

10:07 am

Jera

Tee-hee... I know how to shop for Girl Scouts. Patchwwork Designs is a personal favorite for earned patches. They have different countries (good for Thinking Day) states & various topics the Girls really enjoy. Beautiful patches as well, really high quality qork.

10:07 am

Jera

LOL, work that is...

he8/70

10:33 am

inge

How embarassing. I am missing a four letter word: me 4/6, the one after the restaurant list. Please help me

10:33 am

inge

the se 8 is a compound of se 4 and ma 4,

10:34 am

inge

the he 8 is the plural of he 7: German/Amish word for witchcraft

10:35 am

ExWren

I'm stuggling with the re's as usual. I just need one, re6/18, somewhere around the ren or res, I have the one where you sit down again

10:36 am

inge

Looks like I silenced everyone again. Help!

10:37 am

Stunny

ty inge for the he8!!

10:37 am

inge

the last re 6/18 I found was the 5/10 with doubling the middle consonannt

10:38 am

MikeyInBerlin

what's wrong, Inge; do you need my help? :-/

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

inge - me5: chins
damn i cannot remember how to spell that witchcraft

10:39 am

MikeyInBerlin

Inge; do you realize i picture you as being a little green frog? ;-) hehe!

10:39 am

inge

Mikey, see my request at 10:31 I think. For me 4/6, not the restaurant list.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

hi mikey! is that you playing a macbeath! LOL!

10:41 am

ExWren

Thank you inge, I looked at that but didn't think it would fit.

10:41 am

inge

TO, when you put a spell on something, you have placed a he* on it, take several words from there

10:41 am

bbnaz

Done. Now I can get ready to go to choir and then ride my horse without worrying about this puzzle!

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

yay bbnaz!
igne was that the me5/12 you lacked?

10:42 am

bbnaz

anybody want help prior to leaving?

10:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

huh, Temple Owl? what makes you say/ask that? :-/

10:43 am

bookgrrl

inge--

the other me4 = menu with a vowel replacing the second consonent

10:43 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, sorry Inge; but i'm only on the 'he' section now.....working the list in descending order :-/

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

10:44 am

ExWren

I don't think I will finish today, I still have 70 words to find, and I am going to a St. Georges Day Concert this evening. Hubby is singing in it, I have a red rose to wear, and a flag to wave when we sing 'Land of Hope and Glory'

10:45 am

hydra

exwren, what a fab concert! What will hubby be singing?

10:46 am

inge

Bookgrl you used a grid word in the chat. thats a no no.
Mikey I dont look anything like that, but I do have several frog statues....along with my garden dwarfs!!!

10:46 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh, ok Temple Owl; well the only Shakespear play i've acted in was our college production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which i played Puck, the woodland fairy; and i played a *very* campy Puck, too.....to everyone's amusement.....and when girls would come back to meet us all after the show, and asked me if i'm gay, i'd just bat my eyelashes at them (still in costume and makeup), and say in a very campy voice, 'well; Puck *is* a FAIRY, you know.....Queen of the treetops, dahhhhlings!' ;-) but i don't have time to fuss with icons for 'themes'.....so i'm boring on here.....i'm just myself, and use my own photos :-P

10:46 am

tijani

i like pie

10:46 am

bbnaz

Hydra....think of a group but use the second vowel twice TE(x2) + letter after "l". add second vowel + letter after "q". Then do it again with the plural on the end

10:47 am

MikeyInBerlin

lol, Inge; i should hope you don't.....although i do find froggies very cute! :-) and they go great in gardens, i have to agree! ;-)

10:47 am

bookgrrl

inge, my use of the gridword was unintentional, nonetheless, i hope you found the word you were missing.

10:47 am

bbnaz

Hydra, it builds off of the TE4,5 immediately preceeding it

10:47 am

MikeyInBerlin

ach, Temple Owl.....Shakespeare; someohow, my finger missed typing the 'e' key hard enough there :-P

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

10:47 am

hydra

thnx, bbnaz. Got 'em!

10:48 am

ExWren

10:48 am

10:49 am

mo

how about ne6/18 please

10:49 am

bbnaz

my animals understand plenty of different languages...but the horses that come from Germany, they are quite humorous in the way the vocalizations are used.............

10:50 am

bbnaz

Mo. If you are not far you are NE** but change the last two letters. move the consonant to third and add another second vowel. Then use the singular of "are"

10:51 am

mo

got the ne6/18 thanks

10:51 am

MikeyInBerlin

oh ja, bbnaz.....horses are *very* intelligent creatures.....i grew up with them, as our family's always had riding horses, and they were quite bilingual too! :-)

bbnaz

I have show jumpers Mikey. What type of riding did you do?

10:52 am

11:50 am

snowyowl

They mean long Vicuna -the me6 means long stone in Breton - The whole word does not translate into Welsh but the 1st 3 letters of the word mean wagon in Welsh.

11:50 am

The only other t I have is the ta 4 from the second t

11:54 am

snowyowl

loltnDaisy - I don't speak Welsh either. I loved the fact that many Breton words are the same as Welsh tho' They use ty for house and pont for bridge as we do. The Bretons are aslo very proud to be celts so they quite like Welsh people.

11:54 am

hurshy

no, not a combo - had the sing but not the 6, so i'm just missing ta 5 now

11:54 am

JBsAnno

12:02 pm

FredAndKate

Hi everyone it's Fred!

12:03 pm

MikeyInBerlin

well, i mean it's an easier one today, hurshy; at least i'm finding that, so far.....but i'm only on the 'me' section now, 'cos i've had many distractions and had other things to do, so i've been working on it a bit at a time :-)

12:03 pm

hurshy

5 points to rycaut (man, there are so many ways to spell that nymph!!!)

12:03 pm

JBsAnno

So, Mickey, does GWHIM also involve dancing?

12:03 pm

rycaut

most of the others can be either A...

12:04 pm

hurshy

rycaut, they will count from the FIRST a they could possibly come from, left to right, top to bottom, that is why only 2 come from the second row A

12:04 pm

FredAndKate

How old is everyone

12:04 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm, JBsAnno? what on earth is 'GWHIM'? :-/

12:04 pm

hurshy

mikey was sidestepping the troll, not playing GWHIM, JB :)

12:04 pm

rycaut

do you have tha a 5 - to see foregiveness?

12:04 pm

JBsAnno

Read hurshy's bio... I can't explain it!

12:05 pm

hurshy

yes i do rycaut :)

12:05 pm

shorty

oh no here we go :/

12:05 pm

rycaut

hurshy - what do you use to generate that information?

12:05 pm

hurshy

what, shorty? the troll? or do you not like GWHIM?

12:05 pm

MikeyInBerlin

JBsAnno and hurshy; what is 'GWHIM'??? :-/

12:06 pm

shorty

the troll LOL

12:06 pm

hurshy

rycaut - pros can see how many come from each box. the fact of how they are attributed is just something i figured out myself.

12:06 pm

rycaut

do you have the Indian god - a 4?

12:06 pm

JBsAnno

So sorry, reading too fast. Been in and out, didn't realize there was a *real* troll. I'm still upset that there's a ripoff of Babble in Dutch and that Dr_God can't do much about it (except maybe a flood or a good hailstorm). And other things....
Also, I meant MIKEY!!

12:07 pm

hurshy

indian god - no i don't think i have that!

12:07 pm

Cassie995

Hi everyone!

12:07 pm

hurshy

5 more points for you, rycaut!

12:08 pm

tndaisy1960

I thought the ripoof was in Danish...?

12:08 pm

hannah lou

hi cassie

12:08 pm

hurshy

danish, yes, not dutch

12:08 pm

Cassie995

hannah lou hello!

12:08 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm, ok JBsAnno.....i didn't realize there were any ripoffs of Babble around.....but in any case, will someone *please* tell me what 'GWHIM' is supposed to mean? :-P

12:08 pm

hurshy

mikey - read my bio

12:09 pm

Cassie995

hi hurshy and mikey!

12:09 pm

hurshy

hello, cassie :)

12:09 pm

Vicuna

Seeing as Dr god ripped ideas off of Boggle and Scrabble, I don't think there's much cause for complaint in having a Danish version ripped off of him! Especially as he is hardly offering a Danish version himself.

12:09 pm

JBsAnno

<brings out the M&M's> Hey, Mikey, hurshy is multi-Babbling, that's what I'm getting from her explanation. Looks like fun, but I'm just watching!
<hands over the bag>

12:09 pm

cybernan

Still can't find that darn ta 4 -- what is the point count?

12:09 pm

Cassie995

hi hurshy!

JBsAnno

12:10 pm

Cassie995

I'll be on in 5 minutes!

12:10 pm

hurshy

cnan - 4/4 - like a tuber's nickname w/o last letter

12:10 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ok, hurshy? i'd read it before, actually; but i don't get involved in anything auxilliary to Babble....doing these grids takes enough of the time i don't really have :-P lol; anyhow, i *still* don't understand why JBsAnno's asked me if 'GWHIM' involves dancing? :-/

12:11 pm

hurshy

because you sidestepped, mikey, and she was confused

12:11 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hi, Cassie!

12:11 pm

hurshy

rycaut - i do not think i do - you may have 10 more points coming!

12:11 pm

MikeyInBerlin

oh, ok hurshy! lol

12:12 pm

JBsAnno

And now Mikey's confused!

...my work here is done! <grin>

but I still have 67 words to go

12:13 pm

LuwandaHL

How many word in the puzzle

12:13 pm

cybernan

Hurshy -- isn't that one off the 2nd t? -- I have it -- I'm looking for the one I'm missing off the first t

12:13 pm

hurshy

rycaut - help me out with these enzymes, i don't think i've heard of them.

10 points for you for guessing them though!

12:13 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol; don't flatter yourself there, JBsAnno.....i'm in a perpetual state of confusion in here.....nothing new there! ;-) hehe!

12:13 pm

JBsAnno

Speaking of going, I must.
It's been fun, y'all, and I'll BBL, but right now - time to declutter my desk!

12:14 pm

hurshy

oh, well you said you only had one ta4 so i assumed you had the root of all the other words and didn't think about the boxes.... do you have 2 ta 4's after all?

12:14 pm

rycaut

one of them is an i 5 from the grid backwards... (with an extra letter)

12:15 pm

hurshy

cnan, looked back at your list and maybe you are missing a to4, then. classic babble weirdo?

12:15 pm

JBsAnno

Spreading confusion and chocolate whenever I Babble...

It's good to have a goal!

Just so you know, I'm going to check in every now and then. My computer is on my messy desk, and it's very tempting to keep playing and ignore the clutter!

But I want to surprise my husband when he returns on Thursday with a "made over" living space, all clutter banished for good!

12:15 pm

shorty

your not the only confused one whew too many drugs I think

12:16 pm

cybernan

yes!! -- from the first t, I have

ta 4x1, 5x2, 6x1
te 4x5, 5x1, 6x2, 7x2
to 4x1, 6x1, 7x1

12:17 pm

hurshy

oh, and the other one is a 5 without the double cons? cause i had the 5. so now i got the 6 too, but i still need one more R then.

12:17 pm

Cassie995

I'm back everyone!

12:17 pm

cybernan

That was it, Hurshy -- thanks

12:17 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, JBsAnno; but i couldn't have been much of a challenge, 'cos i'm already perpetually confused! :-P

12:18 pm

hurshy

yw cnan - sorry i didn't read more carefully in the first place!!

12:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

and.....i don't consume chocolate :-P

12:18 pm

Cassie995

12:19 pm

12:19 pm

Vicuna

12:19 pm

shorty

12:19 pm

cybernan

Help!!! - Mikey needs an analyst - he doesn't eat chocolate!!

12:19 pm

hurshy

12:20 pm

Cassie995

Thank you Vicuna for answering my question

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Hey, it just means more chocolate for the rest of us.

12:20 pm

cybernan

Old enough to be your grandmother, Cassie

12:21 pm

MikeyInBerlin

not at all, cybernan; i'm raw vegan, and i don't consume anything with any animal product (including dairy) in it.....hence, i'm exceedingly healthy :-) but, let's not get into that here and now! ;-)

12:21 pm

inge

You all know that eating dark chocolate every day lengthens your lifespan?

12:22 pm

cybernan

Ooh -- I would never survive on a vegan diet -- you're talking to a chocoholic here!

12:22 pm

MikeyInBerlin

i suppose there is, Inge; but i'm not all that interested.....i've just never had much of a sweet tooth; for anything other than fruit, really :-)

12:23 pm

MikeyInBerlin

don't know about that, Inge; but i'm quite sure my diet and lifestyle do, in any case ;-)

12:23 pm

rycaut

gotta go - good luck everyone!

12:23 pm

hurshy

wait rycaut, what is the quill i can't find it!

12:23 pm

cybernan

bye rycaut

Sherylr1961

12:23 pm

MikeyInBerlin

12:24 pm

shorty

OH SO THATS WHY YOU WERE SO QUITE when ANGELA and me were talking about Lobster

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Is "brian" your husband, Sheryl! LOL!

12:25 pm

rycaut

all of the re 6/18's are based on other words in the grid...

12:25 pm

hurshy

sheryl - it's confusing bc so many re's with same point values - i have 5/10, two 6/18, 5/10, two 6/18, 5/10, for the end of my re's - where are you missing one?

12:25 pm

chic

Yea, life's a b**ch and then you die!

Hi everyone!

12:25 pm

MikeyInBerlin

shorty; i was probably doing the grid, or else i had nothing to contribute that you would've wanted to hear, no.....that, and i was probably talking with Heinrich here, or with someone on a messenger, too! :-P

12:25 pm

rycaut

or at least related to (as in an alternative spelling)

12:25 pm

Sherylr1961

hurshy missing the one after the 5/10

12:25 pm

ExWren

sheryl, have you got the re with a double consonant in the middle, which I thought wouldn't fit?

12:26 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hi, Chic! :-) well; don't know about that.....my life's pretty good, thankfully! :-)

12:26 pm

Sherylr1961

hurshy then i have one 6/18 after the 5/10 need the other

12:26 pm

hurshy

sheryl - after WHICH 5/10??

12:26 pm

cybernan

re 6: to wed again and to "run into" again

12:26 pm

inge

Sheryl, do you have all the re 6/18 based on the word "Looking", then you are missing the chemical one. Just like re 5/10 but double the central consonant.

12:26 pm

rycaut

hurshy - there are a number more re's

one I think you are missing is very sticky...

12:26 pm

hurshy

12:54 pm

inge

that trig term is latin for" without", does that help?

12:54 pm

hurshy

well one is pretty much the most basic trig term there is, and the other is hyperbolic, so you change the last letter of the first one

12:55 pm

hurshy

in6 - unlikely plural, chic

12:55 pm

cybernan

no -- french is my only other language -- and that very limited

12:55 pm

hurshy

the basic trig term is a homonym of a STOP si**

12:55 pm

Vicuna

in6/18 - pl of previous in 5 (though how an adj gets a pl, I don't know)

12:56 pm

What play was he going to be in? Something in which scariness was part of the role, or do you suppose he's like that on his own account?

3:14 pm

lgorms

i'm still trying too, but no luck yet

3:15 pm

candy

Have just reached 70 words and I am ready to pull my hair out.

3:16 pm

Haz1558

Don't do that, candy - is this 70 words on your own?

3:16 pm

frogface

ne6/18 is ne and anagram of move up

3:16 pm

MikeyInBerlin

candy, after the obvious 'ne' part, 'ne6,18' rhymes with the organs of vision....same vowel again, followed by the the next vowel in succession ;-)

3:17 pm

MikeyInBerlin

oh candy; lol.....that's what i'm *always* saying when i get frustrated, too.....but that would be rather a *lot* of pulling, in my case :-P hehe!

3:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ach, candy; i'm hopeless at giving clues sometimes :-/ so sorry; forgot to mention the 'r' after the 'ne' part there :-(

3:20 pm

MikeyInBerlin

for what, lgorms? :-/

3:20 pm

Haz1558

To your en5/12 - add a shortened version of 'thank you'

3:21 pm

MikeyInBerlin

yes, lgorms; 'en7,32' is the preceding word, plus a slang 'thanks' :-P lol; thanking someone for that?

3:21 pm

lgorms

ty haz; found it :} can i help anyone else now that i'm done before i retire for the day?

3:22 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations on finishing, igorms!

3:23 pm

Eventually - I have learned a new word and am almost bald in the process. Thanks for the help

3:23 pm

lgorms

3:23 pm

KatieMcG

evening all, fantastic day so I thought I would finish it with a bit of babble :)

3:24 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lgorms; ask Haz here.....i used to drive everyone mad begging for clues (and 'tearing my hair out', candy), til i learned a few more words, and grew more accustomed to finding them, via figuring them out, guessing, and 'monkey typing', etc! :-P

3:25 pm

MikeyInBerlin

KatieW.....hiya!!! :-)

3:26 pm

Haz1558

Igorms - it comes with practice. And nobody minds giving out clues.

3:26 pm

KatieMcG

Hiya Mikey, stopping at Mum's so don't have MSN but hope you & H had a good weekend

Haz1558

4:09 pm

Angela

I've only gotten 2 of the 4 em words Tara...

Haz just gave you one...the other sounds like the plural of the letter "m"

4:09 pm

Haz1558

em5/12 - em, plus start of 'strange' or 'ghostly' gives a different rendering of an easter sultan. Pluralise for the em6

4:09 pm

I enjoy the chats greatly even when I'm not talking. I have only been really participating for a couple of months but everyone has been so nice and welcoming, I feel like I've known them for a long time.
That's why it was so strange to see noone say anything for a few minutes :)

4:21 pm

Jera

4:22 pm

Considering how many chat logs go down the drain quickly, I am impressed by Dr. God's achievement. Though he has competition in Denmakr now.

4:25 pm

Angela

anyone have a clue for the me 6/24?

4:25 pm

inge

A Danish participant on our game copied the whole thing and put it out in Denmark in Danish. Dr. God told us about it on the log yesterday. He is quite concerned. I think that with only 4.5 million Danes and billions of English speaking potential players, eh has nothing to worry about.

4:26 pm

Angela

I missed that on the log. I have been working out of town the last month and haven't played as often as I would like. Very intersting though.

4:27 pm

chic

me 6/24 is a prehistoric monument
Me* to Boyz plus female possession h** with different vowel in mid.

4:27 pm

inge

me 6/24 is a kind of standing statue, next one is its plural, me + last letter referring to males + direct case pronoun for she (change vowel to third vowel),

4:28 pm

Angela

oops! I meant me 6/36. And after those 2 great cluse - sorry!

4:29 pm

4:31 pm

Angela

yup. definitely would not have gotten that one. Tx Inge.

4:32 pm

inge

that 6/36 has something to do with brain membrane, I cant call up its definition for some reason.

4:32 pm

chic

sorry my meds just kicked in! that was for he 6/36 but had ya thinking...

4:33 pm

stidmama

hi all -- well, didn't get outside much after all. headache. sometimes the sun does that. oh well. better enough to try for a few more words.

4:48 pm

Angela

Good to know chic. I actually was reading Mikey's bio and read about Literati. I joined as "harley.deluxe" just to check it out.

Angela

chic - do you mean Literati or IM?

4:55 pm

stidmama

gramma -- sometimes these things come in on email, or from following an innocent link.... it's not your fault, but the fault of the nasties who make these viruses.

now relax and focus: if you can play babble, you can definitely work through this! ((big hug of support))

4:56 pm

circe

gramma - you definitey have a virus. What programs did you run? you may try the online website for those progams for more information about removing it. I like the norton anitivirus help and the hijackthis webiste.

4:56 pm

I've never tried their info, but you can still probably look it up there. Generally I have found that someone else has always had the virus before me and the forums explain what to do about it...

4:58 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks Taraj, guess I needed the fish.

4:59 pm

tndaisy1960

Those aren't anti-virus programs...those are anti-spyware programs. You need something like...AVG or Norton or Macafee. I prefer AVG myself. There is a freeware version of this, on www.grisoft.com

5:02 pm

wassup

got that one. thanks guys. now four more to make me crazy.

5:02 pm

JeeWhiz

gramma, you might want to go to mcafee.com and subscribe to their virus protection. It will lead you through what to do.

5:06 pm

tndaisy1960

I like AVG better, bcs it doesn't (usually) conflict with any programs you might be running. Norton and Macafee do not "play well with others"

nope, ducks are sweet!

6:51 pm

Tell all, mrp!

6:51 pm

evanonut

gramma, you may need professional help then.

6:52 pm

tndaisy1960

which anti virus software did you choose gramma?

6:52 pm

gramma

I quite honestly can't afford to take it anywhere.

6:53 pm

gramma

tndaisy, I did the grisoft AVG.

6:53 pm

evanonut

gramma, it says that mcafee virus scan 8.01 can get rid of it

6:54 pm

tndaisy1960

Cool! ok then...let me see if I can get Mikie's attention...and I'll get back to you. Don't give up!

6:54 pm

evanonut

8.0i - sorry

6:54 pm

gramma

Where do I get that?

6:55 pm

evanonut

i don't know, i just googled it and the norton page said that.

6:56 pm

evanonut

it also recommended upgrading to sp2 from xp

6:57 pm

gramma

TY evanonut. I'll wait for tndaisy and see what mikie says.

6:58 pm

evanonut

good idea on account of i don' t know much!

6:58 pm

tndaisy1960

Ok, first...Mikie asked me to ask you...how did you first discover which virus you had? In other words...which program detected it so that you'd know what the critter was? The reason this matters is...every program seems to have different names for viruses, unfortunately. AVG might be able to fix it, but calls it by another name, you see. so...how did you first figure out the exact name of it?

7:00 pm

knutmeg

Hello, everyone. Just popping in for a few minutes, anyone need a clue while I'm around?

7:01 pm

gramma

I don't know. It says : infected file name C:\Documents and Settings\

7:02 pm

tndaisy1960

Ok...but which program detected this infected file? Something's bound to have found it for you.

7:02 pm

gramma

tndaisy, AVG recognized the virus by name; but, didnt have a patch? for it. It said it's from windows.

7:03 pm

evanonut

i bet it was her adware since that virus puts adware on your comp

7:03 pm

evanonut

hey knutter!

evanonut, you're probably right.

7:06 pm

that's a new pic i believe - still adorable!

7:07 pm

tndaisy1960

I'm at a loss; I went to AVGs encyclopedia of viruses...and it says it can't even find it. So I honestly dont know....AVG found it by exactly the name you first gave me? If it did...I don't know why it says it can't find it in search mode...weird.

7:09 pm

tndaisy, thank you very much for trying. I'm at a loss *_*

I'm a geek. The <i> etc. was HTML code. It makes it italic.

Believe me, scatty, your daughter is probably most happy in her secret heart that she has a mom like you (that waits up for her) than a mom like his.

on second thought, maybe they're greek endings? quick, somebody smarter than me jump in!

10:02 pm

stidmama

hi nan! good for you on the golf!

10:02 pm

abe79

all done!! anyone need a clue?

10:03 pm

stidmatt

Great job abe!

10:03 pm

stidmama

young man -- " 'Sup " is not an appropriate way to greet your elders (or for that matter your mother's elders)

*stern look* what's wrong with "good evening" or "hello" ?

10:03 pm

stidmama

YAY abe!

10:03 pm

stidmatt

They are so old fashioned! I use 'Sup everywhere! Even... Oh, never mind....

10:04 pm

abe79

ok. back to homework. thanks to all for clues and goodnight

10:04 pm

stidmama

how many words do you have, Matthew? need help with anything?

10:04 pm

beazus

WTG Abe - could you spare a clue for the am 5/12 pls?

10:05 pm

stidmama

talk24 -- I don't think I said hello when you came in, come to think of it. Hi!

with almost 2 hours to go still, you might be able to finish. :-)

10:05 pm

stidmatt

35. Everytime Scott comes over he wants to play since he can't at home for family and personal reasons.

10:06 pm

abe79

am 5/12 am+ sounds like what you listen with, change the second vowel. pluralize for am 6

10:06 pm

scatty

Kaurie - i know you have to be 16 to play bingo, alot of fruit machines have (slot machines) have no -one under the age of 18 years of age. I think the lottery is 16yr's / could be 18 as well

10:07 pm

abe79

wait, beazus, did you mean the second am 5/12?

10:07 pm

stidmatt

Good job Scatty at no gambling. But, what about in games? (I am addicted to gambling in Triopoly.

10:07 pm

beazus

I'm sorry, no, the first am 5/12...thanks.

10:08 pm

stidmama

10:08 pm

stidmatt

)

10:08 pm

cybernan

beazus

cybernan

no -- that's the one stidmama -- thanks-- how many letters?

10:11 pm

scatty

stidmatt, if money is the prize, you have to be 18 years old, if its something like easter eggs, you can play at the age of 16, no alcohol can be won without proof of age either(18)

10:11 pm

beazus

TY cybernan.

10:12 pm

cybernan

got it -- thanks, stidmama

10:12 pm

stidmama

scatty -- *stern mama look*

please go to sleep... your body will heal faster and you will feel better sooner if you can rest.

10:12 pm

stidmatt

Does that mean I can't gamble in Triopoly?!
Stupid question.

10:13 pm

stidmatt

Oh, sorry, I thought you were my mom, Sorry.

10:13 pm

stidmama

Matthew, board games in the family or among friends don't count as gambling... our family does not gamble with real money -- ever. as Shrek says, "end of story"

10:14 pm

stidmama

and fifteen minutes left to play... do you have all the 7 point words today?

10:14 pm

stidmama

11:05 pm

cybernan

te 7's -- both are plurals for the 6's before

11:05 pm

beazus

Thanks 'Nan....searching. Wou;d it be possible that we might be missing all of the same ones? If you cou;d tell me which one in the lickety's order, I'll try to help....

11:07 pm

cybernan

Not using a list Beazus but the clue I gave is for the third se 6/21

11:07 pm

lynxxx

thnx mama! can you also assist with the MU4 - I have the one ending oppos of up but can't work out the other.

11:09 pm

stidmama

lynxxx.. the two mu made little sense to me. one was clued as a type of city-pledge bond, a "nickname" for that sort of investment; the other I think is some sort of subatomic particle?

11:09 pm

beazus

THX cybernan!! - got it.

11:09 pm

cybernan

Sorry Stidmama -- I have 3 si 6's -- forgot to say that I'm working from the s in the fourth row -- still missing one s

11:15 pm

cybernan

get a not valid on the only possibility (used the r -- one who sews)

11:17 pm

stidmama

sorry, nan -- it "sounds like" the one who sews, double vowel at the beginning

11:17 pm

cybernan

got that one too (one who appears to be)

11:18 pm

beazus

Thanks for the help folks! I'm going to bed now, not finished but close enough for me! <<<cross-eyed>>> g'nite!

11:18 pm

stidmama

i'm sorry i'm so dense tonight! do you have the "calm" se 6/18? the prince of monaco is called his se**** highness

11:19 pm

stidmama

good night, beazus!

11:21 pm

cybernan

yes-- that and one other se 6/18 (baseball's world se****)

11:22 pm

stidmama

11:24 pm

cybernan

That was it --- my heroine -- thanks -- done!!!!!!!

11:24 pm

stidmama

YAY cybernan!

11:24 pm

stidmama

*my brain hurts!*

11:27 pm

cybernan

Oh dear -- would an aspirin and a cup of hot chocolate help?

11:28 pm

cybernan

What is tomorrow's theme, Stidmama?

11:28 pm

stidmama

hot cocoa, yes, probably spiked with something a little stronger, tonight. :-)

the gears in my brain are just not fully engaged -- i feel so dumb that it took me that many tries to give you the clue you needed! you were very clear...

11:29 pm

stidmama

pig day is the theme for tomorrow, apparently.

11:30 pm

justformarge

good night all - was quite addictive for my first time onboard

11:30 pm

mklein

what's a clue for si4,4 the one before the math term?

11:31 pm

stidmama

marge -- did you get all the words? glad you had fun, either way. Hope to see you again.

11:31 pm

knutmeg

si4/5 same first three letters as the math term, then add the letter that comes 3 after the second vowel in the alphabet

11:32 pm

stidmama

mklein -- the first si 4/4 is a math term, then there's an si 4/5 that starts same three letters but a tall humped consonant for the last...

11:32 pm

knutmeg

the only other 4/4 is what would would call a king or your progeny

11:32 pm

stidmama

knutmeg -- you're back! how was your nap? haven't seen your mom around today, is she playing or taking a day off?

11:33 pm

jaianniah

hey, knutters, you there?

11:34 pm

stidmama

jaianniah! just asked after you! happy sunday evening!

11:34 pm

knutmeg

My nap was good. Liv is up and fussing. She slept through the night last night, so I'mhoping after she eats some more she'll repeat her performance.

mom and I finished the puzzle around 7 am this morning, so I imagine she spent the day doing other things. I haven't spoken with her because I had company among other things. She'll probably see us at the flp

11:34 pm

knutmeg

or she's here! Hi Mum!

11:35 pm

mklein

TY - i'd swear I monkeytyped that in. Just 13 left, but I just can't seem to figure out which ones I need today.

11:35 pm

stidmama

knutmeg-- did you say your one (1) month old slept through a night???? you are so lucky... :-)

*envious, but pleased*

11:35 pm

stidmama

i had the same problem, mklein -- really felt foolish most of the day!

11:36 pm

knutmeg

*grins proudly* Yep!! Olivia slept 7 hours straight last night. It was awesome... except my husband and I spent the whole night getting up checking on her because we were worried when she didn't wake up.

11:37 pm

jaianniah

I dunno what's wrong, but spent the day in absolute HELL- the pain in my back is so bad, I am consiering tossing in the towel and calling the doc tomorrow. It didn';t hurt this bad the day after surdey- must be from my little car "incident" yesterday! How r u, kiddo! Have heard lots of good things from your Auntie!

11:37 pm

stidmama

*less envious, totally understanding*

I spent Matthew's first month home hovering afraid he'd forget to breathe.... his meds made him so groggy when he slept.

11:38 pm

cybernan

ready for tomorrow with the world's most popular pig *refresh* -- not very original, I know!

11:38 pm

jaianniah

Sorry about the typos....Lots of pain med onboard....

11:39 pm

stidmama

jaianniah! car incident? are you -- obviously not "OK" but okay? yes -- go see someone and get "fixed" sooner than later...

{back problems are something I understand too well}

11:39 pm

stidmama

nan, that's perfect! c'est vous! (or is it tu? my french is so horrible)

11:40 pm

knutmeg

Mum- please call the doc tomorrow, no need to stay in pain if he can help

Stid- so much hovering after she finally woke up at 6:30 am, I fed her and went back to sleep :-)

11:40 pm

NatLT

I just got my little piggies for today

11:41 pm

cybernan

Who is mum (or should I say grandma), knutmeg?

11:41 pm

stidmama

but... does miss piggy play golf? this could be a petit problem, no?

11:41 pm

renfield

nite from my little piggies

11:41 pm

knutmeg

cybernan-- Jaianniah is my mom, Liv's grandma :-)

11:42 pm

stidmama

renny :-) cute. ditto for NatLT

11:42 pm

stidmama

good night, renfield!

11:42 pm

cybernan

Only golf on Tues, Wed and Sunday (sometimes Thurs) -- so that's ok.

11:42 pm

NatLT

thanks, I thought about puttin up a pic of our dog (she is an english bull dog and everyone says she looks like a pig)

11:43 pm

stidmama

oh, fine then -- wouldn't want you to have to break character! :-)

11:43 pm

jaianniah

Yeah- it was the first day out after my surgery and some guy ran me off the road by crossing the center line. He was too busy abusing his girlfriend to pay attention to driving, and I spun around and got shaken up- not good for after-back reconstruction....

11:44 pm

stidmama

oh jaianniah, that's awful. *good vibes coming your way*

11:44 pm

cybernan

OOh -- Jai!!! -- you should get yourself to the doc!

11:46 pm

cybernan

Stidmama -- vous for the formal -- tu/toi for friends, so the latter is more appropriate here.

11:46 pm

jaianniah

Thank you, Stiddie- I know lots of folks are caring about me- look at how nice you all are to my daughter!!!:o))))

11:46 pm

knutmeg

My pic is my little piggy :-) Mum--fresh pic from yesterday before I took her over to your parent's house.

11:47 pm

jaianniah

Of course, she is THE most cutestest baby in the world!!!!

11:47 pm

cybernan

Jai -- stidmama is the same age as my daughter -- at least for another month!

11:47 pm

stidmama

merci, nan. I took French in 6th and 7th grades (parochial school), then Spanish and German in High school and college, and italian and chinese for a year each in college... sometimes they all get squished up and confuseled together. but... even college was 20 years ago now!

11:49 pm

cybernan

now I'm getting mixed up -- it's Knut & Jai that are daughter& Mom, right?

11:50 pm

knutmeg

right, cyber :-)

11:50 pm

jaianniah

Stidmama, I took French (special program) from fourth grade until junior year of High school, then two years of college- still blurt stuff out in French it is so ingrained in me even 30 years later...Can you believe it? Growing up in Illinois?

11:50 pm

cybernan

You have a lot more languages than I -- tried to learn Italian for our trip to Italy 2 years ago, but not with much success -- memory's not quite as good as it used to be!!

11:50 pm

stidmama

nan -- I had no idea you were in my mother's generation! wow -- appearances can sure be deceptive!

11:52 pm

stidmama

i like languages... but I don't like to read "literature" -- so I always fizzle once I have a bit under my belt. Can understand a good bit, though, when the opportunity presents itself.

11:52 pm

cybernan

Yes -- we have 6 granddaughters aged 6 - 16.

11:54 pm

jaianniah

Did you see what they did to "rig" Sudoku? I had to pay to play today...ooo, that rhymes.....

11:54 pm

stidmama

jaianniah, i think it's really cool that you were able to learn French that way! I wish there were something comparable for our kids -- we have studied italian, german and spanish together, and have a smattering of other languages from our international friends... but it's hard to teach more than basic vocabulary when I don't have a good sense of conversational patterns.

11:55 pm

stidmama

five minutes left... does anyone need assistance?

11:56 pm

jaianniah

Just my back.....

11:56 pm

jaianniah

TY so much!

11:57 pm

cybernan

The Learning Company has some excellent cd's for learning to speak second languages -- I found the "Learn to Speak French" one was really great --- had forgotten most of my highschool French when I got it. Couldn't find a "Learn to Speak..." for Italian, much to my regret, but I know there is one for German and Spanish.

11:57 pm

stidmama

i'm not a medical person... but have you tried alternating heat and ice today? supporting your back so you're comfortable and the muscles can relax? those are things that usually work for pain management for me...

11:59 pm

stidmama

nan, I will check out the Learning company -- summer time is coming up, and we usually try to work on languages at some level! Thanks!

11:59 pm

cybernan
