12:13 am

NatLT

lol knut, I want that one too

12:15 am

MikeyInBerlin

didn't stay up all that late really, Deutsch.....anyhow; we usually sleep about 6-7 hours per night, sometimes a little more.....then we often take a nap in the afternoon lately, too :-)

12:15 am

hetty

Well my goodness. Sitting here on my you know what, ending the day as artsy as I began it, I suddenly found myself flipped like everyone else into an unlooked for future. Very upsetting, with just three words to go. I agree with knutmeg about being so summarily tessered forward, only when I began to scroll own to where I could begin to tell her so I found myself plummeting like Alice down an endless warren of words. Had to log off and on again to make myself communicado. What a wonderful age we now live in, to be sure. Now it's my turn to turn in, so once more, with feeling, "Goodnight sweethearts".

12:15 am

NatLT

ufensil??

12:15 am

licketySplitAUS

l5/16 - to pick something up ;-)

12:16 am

MikeyInBerlin

12:29 am

knutmeg

Okay, 70 words in 30 minutes is like a record for me. Sadly all little bitties. Okay Mum, calling you now. :-)

12:30 am

1:16 am

Nani

1:28 am

pinecone05

1:33 am

Gwen

other single 'f' is a very thin pastry dough

1:34 am

1:51 am

knutmeg

Congratulations, Pinecone!!!

1:52 am

rycaut

I usually try to see how many words I can get without the hints - then look at the hints as they are posted in the comments, then I look at the lists - but mostly lately for the basic stats -only when I get stuck do I start to look at the specific words and their order to figure out what I might have missed

1:52 am

pinecone05

good night everyone...and happy babbling

2:05 am

joey

I am finished - sings the done song

2:09 am

jaianniah

2:17 am

sprite

Morning dear gang :)

2:20 am

FMitch

Morning sprite

2:21 am

corpsvalue

a7/32 ... finally. That one's been bugging me!!

2:22 am

wassup

Good Morning everyone. I'm just now able to connect to babble. For some reason, couldn't get in all afternoon. Hmm. Addict? I kept trying!

2:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Well you made it wassup! Yay!

2:23 am

sprite

Addict. No doubt about it. Welcome in the gang :)

2:23 am

wassup

Yeah, still getting lots of lag. But, for now I'm here. :)

2:26 am

dalmatian5

I'm having a lot of connection problems also. Keep having to refresh.

2:32 am

jaianniah

I was wondering how I would go about saying something to the entire Babbler Community....Does anyone know where to post?

2:33 am

sprite

Guess best place is here in the log. BaBaNon isn't visited by all babblers.

2:33 am

sprite

Or both here and at babanon .

2:34 am

jaianniah

I'm thinking of the person who posts interesting facts each day.....

2:35 am

sprite

Who would that be?

2:36 am

jaianniah

I don't know, but there is supposedly an email you can write to to tell an interesting fact....

2:37 am

sprite

I have really no idea.

2:37 am

FMitch

I think what you are referring to is the facenating fact of the day that goes on licketys list. you need to email him or MrP, their email addresses are on licketys list.

2:38 am

wassup

Goodnight, too much lag.

2:38 am

jaianniah

T Y, T y, T Y!!!! That's it!!!!

2:38 am

sprite

That will not reach the entire babble community then :)

2:47 am

Hi jean :)

3:07 am

Torgo

3:09 am

jo_jo

ive never heard of them :-/

3:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

3:14 am

Torgo

taoist, a follower of tao, and for maoist, check out the rebels in Nepal. Communists who take their lead from Mao, rather than Stalin, Lenin, or Marx.

3:15 am

jo_jo

hi haz, u ok today?

3:16 am

Haz1558

I'm fine thanks.

3:16 am

jean1953

3:17 am

Karys

hello everyone....hope you all ok :)......and I keep wanting 'affluent' !!

3:17 am

Haz1558

We all want 'affluent'!

3:18 am

Karys

LOL....LOL....Haz.....you're right !!!

3:21 am

jo_jo

im stuck on the f words

3:22 am

Karys

I've only got 3 'f' words jo jo

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to a quieter day than yesterday. Part of it was spent navigating one daughter around all the local primary schools so that she could leave in her CV. The rest of the time seemed to be spent on the phone to my flat-hunting daughter in Edinburgh. First the perfect flat had slipped out of their grasp, then they got it, then the other girls wondered if it was too expensive, then they went to see a grotty flat that persuaded them that the perfect flat WAS perfect and worth the money. All this in the midst of exam preparation!

3:23 am

jo_jo

however, i found a nice little ma6/27

3:24 am

FMitch

Morning Haz
Soulds like a very busy day yesterday, is today going to be more tranquil for you?

3:24 am

Karys

oh dear Haz....there's always something with these kids we thought were a good idea at the time...still would'nt be without them !!

3:26 am

Haz1558

Today should be better - I'm involved with a local cancer charity and we are doing a couple of photographs for publicity. One of them is at a local gym (toned bodies) where I'm told the ladies getting their photographs taken have made hair appointments!

3:27 am

jo_jo

for the f's ive got fi4/7 fu4/8 fa5/18 and fa4/8 if that helps anyone

3:27 am

Haz1558

I'll just be the frazzled looking one!

3:28 am

Karys

and of course you have too, I don't suppose Haz !!

3:30 am

Karys

jo jo....there's an fe5 and 6

3:30 am

Haz1558

No - no hair appointment for me. They'll just have to put up with my own efforts.

3:30 am

jo_jo

does anyone have a aluc for a7/32

3:30 am

FMitch

are you organising or participating in the shoot Haz?

3:31 am

davetins

uncles wife jo jo

3:31 am

Karys

jo jo....your Mum's sisters

3:31 am

jo_jo

ty dave

3:32 am

lynxxx

jojo your mums sister

3:33 am

Haz1558

I'm just participating. The local gym for ladies have offered to run a sponsored walk and the photograph is to launch that. The other one is to thank a local firm who have donated a wheelchair to be used in the charity's headquarters. The photographers from the local papers are good at organising how they want things done so we'll just do as we're told.

3:34 am

FMitch

should be fun then and all for a great cause.

3:34 am

Karys

has to beat doing the housework which is now calling me !!!

3:35 am

jean1953

right off for a while happy babbling everyone :)

3:35 am

Haz1558

It does beat housework! FMItch, how did you get on yesterday?

3:36 am

FMitch

Very well thanks for asking Haz, spent 4 hrs with the client who was v happy with the work, next meeting is on Wed and there will be lots more work to follow (thank goodness)

3:37 am

Haz1558

Good - so a new printer is definitely going to be needed for all that lovely work!

3:38 am

Karys

consumed with couriosity now !!!....how can I do housework wondering what !!!....may I ask please FMitch ?

3:38 am

FMitch

LOL thats for sure!!

3:41 am

lynxxx

ab 5.14 pls

3:41 am

FMitch

BRB phone.

3:42 am

Haz1558

ab5/14 - a plus the word for heating something up to a certain point

3:44 am

lynxxx

of course it is - thnx haz

3:44 am

Haz1558

you're welcome.

3:45 am

FMitch

back, what did you want to know Karys?

3:48 am

Haz1558

Karys may have gone to do the housework but she probably wanted to know what business you are involved in. You can tell me instead!

3:49 am

ExWren

Good morning one and all. I've just had a quick scan through the chat log, and ready to start, but I have a hair appointment at 11am, (not for a photo shoot Haz), just a trim.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ex-Wren. I always like getting my hair done, but am always conscious that it won't look that good again for another six weeks!

3:52 am

ExWren

It's been seven weeks this time, so I have the 'shaggy dog' look

3:53 am

Haz1558

Oh, that's very fashionable, ex-Wren. Have you not noticed in hair magazines that some of the models look like 'before' rather than 'after' and as though a comb hasn't seen their head for weeds?

3:53 am

FMitch

Oops didn't realise the time must go.
Haz catch up later, have a good photo shoot :)

3:53 am

Haz1558

Weeks!

3:54 am

Haz1558

Thanks FMitch - I should go too to get 'dolled up'.

4:03 am

lynxxx

is the pf word same as sewing machine?

4:06 am

Haz1558

It's pf4/11 - more like a description of a sound - no vowels.

4:07 am

Haz1558

Now I'm gone - will return later.

4:52 am

cliffopa

now how can that pf word possibly be a word? good morning/good day.

4:54 am

Eva

good morning cliff. Isn't that pf word something else?

4:55 am

cliffopa

crazy.

4:56 am

Eva

cna't quite make out your photo-is it a cat in a pose of utter abandon?

4:58 am

cliffopa

it's my cat Zoey doing yoga:) theme is pretzels, she's trying her best to turn herself into a pretzel.

5:12 am

Eva

cliff-was at a planning meeting for our Blackfly Festival yesterday. Sounds like its going to be great this year-if the weather is nice to us. You should come! Saturday, May 27th. Usually we have the Red Cross Blood mobile, but because it's a holiday they can't make it, but we figure people will donate blood anyway, through a generous cross-species gift(-:

5:16 am

cliffopa

what town/city is it in? maybe i can talk my husband into going. i love the red cross bloodmobile idea. i'm a donor on a regular basis :)

5:18 am

Eva

missing 1 u. I have:
a section + plural
uncravat + plural
wait un___ your father gets home

What am I missing?

5:19 am

cliffopa

"un** us a child is born" or something like that. sounds like a number.

5:20 am

Eva

It's in Adamant, which is a tiny village, part of Calais, which is just 10 minutes from Montpelier. I used to give blood regularly, but they had a terrible time with my veins the last 3 times - causing massive hematomas,etc, so I have decided I just have to give in other ways.

5:20 am

Eva

Thanks Cliff! Perfect clue.

5:20 am

cliffopa

i meant the ** sounds like a number. not one, not three, the one in between.

5:24 am

Eva

okay, how about finding the missing f?
I have:
fa4/8
fa5/18
fe5/16
fe6/ 27
fe5/16
fe4/7

5:24 am

cliffopa

i'm going to work on my husband. see if we can't take a drive over there. i think i've told you before, if i didn't live in NH i'd be living in VT. my husband feels the same. it's one option we will be looking into when the youngest is done with college.

5:25 am

Eva

oops, forgot
fi4/7
fu4/8

5:26 am

cliffopa

there is an fe 5/18 but i don't have it yet.

5:27 am

Eva

This is a particularly wonderful area cliff-I love Montpelier-small, but good restaurants, lots of music, arts,etc. Adamant is a very active and tight community with many artists. Tremendous permission around here to be eccentric. People really take care of each other. Community potlucks at each other's houses, etc. Also drop dead beautiful . Only thing is......blackflies. And property taxes in Montpelier itself are prohibitive-as the state owns a lot of property and of course doesn't pay taxes and there's no industry.

5:30 am

cliffopa

sounds great. blackflies don't get us down. we're used to dealing with them. any fishing nearby? that is the one big requirement for us. we both love to fish.

5:30 am

Eva

fe5/18-one of those weird french fire words. Had to be because the u is the only 2 pointer around. Thanks for steering me to it. Ends in the chemical symbol for argon.

5:31 am

Jacula

Morning all. Fe5/18 is Scottish for one who holds a right to free land.

5:31 am

Eva

well I don't fish, but there are quite a few ponds and lakes where I see other people fishing.

5:33 am

cliffopa

hi jacula. more scottish words - the scots must have helped assemble the enable dictionary.

5:35 am

Jacula

Och aye, Cliffopa, I reckon so!:-)

BTW, my icon is in keeping with today's theme - it's the beanie baby dog called 'Pretzels'.

5:35 am

Eva

the n's:
nothings
number + plural
decree ni__
awful little hair bugges
sisters

one missing

5:36 am

Jacula

Enable says 'naff' isn't a word.

5:37 am

cliffopa

do you have an ne 5/10?
there are 4 ni 4/4's in all.

5:38 am

Eva

nope-don't have that one yet...off hunting.

5:38 am

Jacula

Eva - Thanks for the sister clue for the n's. Couldn't think what you meant for a moment but finding words has become a habit.;)

5:38 am

cliffopa

i used to have a nice assortment of cat or cat-like beanie babies. that is, until my dog found them. had to have his stomach pumped because he swallowed too many of the beanie things.

5:39 am

Jacula

Cliffopa - Oh dear!:( I don't collect them but my o/h's daughter does.

5:39 am

Eva

got it!

5:41 am

Eva

Early in our lives with Merp we made the mistake of leaving a large catnip rat out for him to play with on his own. Ended up in the emergency room for 3 hours a 2 am. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Brought him home where he promptly and happily threw up the entire rat on my bed. We never leave toys unattended anymore.

5:42 am

cliffopa

i actually have a special room with a gate at the door for the cats to play with catnip toys. my dog has destroyed every one he got hold of. i have to use the room when i adopt new cats until i am convinced the dog won't think they are a toy.

5:43 am

Jacula

Not so long ago, there was a photo in my newspaper showing an x-ray of a small dog that had swallowed an 18" metal tent peg. Lord knows HOW a) it managed it, b) why it did it or c) how it survived.

5:44 am

Jacula

Cassette and video tapes, and plastic bags are other things dogs are fond of swallowing - causes havoc with their innards.

5:44 am

Eva

Missing a b. Have:
vampire rodents
a b___ on the screen
sailing things + plural
what happens to heated water + plural
short for a metal person

what's not there?

5:46 am

Jacula

bo4/6 (Spanish) - A leather bag or sack for holding wine.

5:47 am

Eva

the image of dogs thinking a cat is a toy is a rather gruesome one. My friend's new seeing eye labrador ate an entire cloth napkin the other day. Came out just fine though(-:

Merp is working himself up to a fine pre-breakfat hysteria. It's only 6:46. I'm not budging until 7 at least!

5:48 am

Eva

thanks Jac!

5:50 am

Jacula

y/w Eva.

Speaking of feeding cats, I'd better feed my two. They've been surprisingly quiet considering I'm an hour late with their breakfast. BBL.

5:51 am

cliffopa

my dog hasn't hurt any live animals yet - but he will pick up toads in his mouth. not a smart idea. he keeps doing it tho.....

5:54 am

Eva

that reminds me of a really funny cult video called Cane Toads. It's a short documentary on the cane toads which were imported to Australia from Hawaii supposedly to take care of locusts or some such thing. One of those incredibly misguided ideas. The cane toads look like cow patties on legs and are poisonous. You can rent it at the more independent video stores. If they allow any of those in NH(-:

Merp is now eating a philodendron. Probably time for breakfast.

5:56 am

cliffopa

best you go and feed the beast :)

6:01 am

Eva

9 left to find. A nice manageable puzzle. See you all later.

6:01 am

cliffopa

bye eva!

6:26 am

sha

afternoon all

6:27 am

cliffopa

wish it was afternoon. then i'd be home from work already :) hi sha.

6:33 am

Jacula

Cliffopa. Hi again. Looking at your icon, I think you'd like the new Whiskas ad for Fred the Bedhead. Link is below (take out any Babble spaces)...

http://www.whiskas .co.uk/Whiskas/en-GB/TVAds/def ault.htm

6:41 am

ylleria

hi everyone, how you all doing?

6:41 am

hydra

any hints for the first in word please? The in5?

6:43 am

Haz1558

Often used as a prefix - meaning inferior or underneath. in5/16

6:44 am

cliffopa

loved the Whiskas advertisement link jacula! thanks :)

6:46 am

hydra

Thanks, haz. Got it. Love the black and white cat theme today. I have one too, a nine year old male who arrived as a feral kitten living in the garden shed. He's called Flad, short for Flathead, and is now very fat and loving, but won't be picked up.

6:47 am

Jacula

Hi Ylleria, Hazel, Hydra.

Cliffopa - Glad you liked it. Just been looking around that site and I see they're running a poetry competition. It closes 31st May.

6:48 am

Hello CAPONE.

6:50 am

Haz1558

Hi, Jacula - just heading out the door (again) to give the dog a walk but couldn't resist trying to find a few more words. I'll be back later.

6:50 am

capone

Ooops, wrong profile.

Refresh to see my biotch of a cat, Revelation.

6:51 am

Haz1558

I love the line in Frasier where Niles says he's off to take his multiple personality group 'And it takes forever to fill out the name tags'

6:53 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz. Have a good walk.

Capone - Your cat?

6:54 am

capone

Yes, hence my comment.

Have a grey and black tabby too, Pedro.

Rev is 9 years old this year, Pedro is 3

7:04 am

ylleria

pf 4/11?! I really, really cannot figure that one out. Can anyone help?

7:05 am

Jacula

Ylleria - pf4 is a sound like something deflating.

7:06 am

ylleria

Thanks jacula - I'm not convinced I'd say that's a word though

7:10 am

Jacula

I'm just pondering whether to struggle with my final 6 words (a 'gl', some li's and an 'ma') now, or leave them until later.

7:11 am

Jacula

Just got the 'ma'. Silly me! They are what cats sit on.

7:12 am

Karys

I got a gl jac !!

7:13 am

Jacula

Hi Karys. Just got it myself. Talking to cliffopa should have clued me in, if you get my drift.:)

7:13 am

Karys

lol jac ;D

7:14 am

Jacula

Hmm- that 'gl' is a new word for me. Must remember it.

7:14 am

Karys

nicely discriptive isn't it !!

7:15 am

Jacula

Yes, Karys, it is. I like that word.

7:16 am

Karys

i can just imagine lots of us all 'gl' ing at evry available moment !!

7:19 am

ylleria

can anyone help with the is 4/6? I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious.

7:21 am

Jacula

I'm done. I'd have been finished a lot sooner on those 'li's' if I hadn't totally missed the fact that there's an 'l' at the top r/h side of the grid as well as bottom left. *sighs*

7:21 am

Karys

ylleria...nursery rhyme ? ? black sheep

7:22 am

Karys

Well Done jac !!

9:07 am

abe79

hey hurshy, what level of math do you teach?

9:07 am

hurshy

calculus and precalc

9:08 am

abe79

you may be the answer to my prayers...i am tutoring a student in math right now (lower level than precalc) and i was stumped by two problems...

9:09 am

hurshy

sure, shoot :)

9:09 am

Uneaixoise

Arrgghh! Calculus! *assumes fetal position*

9:10 am

Haz1558

Uneaixoise - I've reached the happy state of being too old to remember what calculus WAS!

9:10 am

abe79

well, it's kind of complicated to put on babble. and shoot, i don't have it with me today. i may have to get back to you later...basically, it involves multiplying fractions that contain polynomials (i hope i'm saying that right)

9:11 am

hurshy

sure, fractions with polynomials. um, do you have AIM?

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

I'll NEVER forget--went into midterm exam with a B+ average and got an F! And before calculus I had LOVED math!

1. 'White House'
2. 'Hero, Villain and Quasimodo'
3. 'Act of the Action Figures'
4. 'A story begins in a South American Nation'

I'm not much into films but a huge prize (Â£15) is at stake!

9:53 am

Haz - They are Rain Man, Trainspotting, and Raiders of the Lost Ark....

9:54 am

Haz1558

I knew you'd get them, movieman!

9:54 am

hurshy

9:55 am

hurshy

Wonder of wonders, thank you all. I have wondered about the magic word "refresh"" and sought for a button on the tax bar in vain; so I just closed down and opened up again and there all those lovely words were.
Now if I can only get my image back (I tried to edit with a new photo in honour of pretzels but it didn't work. I'll try again later--want to double my score on the grid first. I'm beginning to feel fiercely competitive
and such a state ois etraordinary for me.

dear gramma--sorry to hear you're still bug-ridden, but you are brave and you will enjoy this one. Very few tricks about it today

11:54 am

11:55 am

11:55 am

Hi caitlin, I'm cancer too, but not at all crabby

11:56 am

musicmom

smapo - no it doesn't in6

11:56 am

gramma

I love my computer!!! The only thing I really use it for, is games. It used to be a Very expensive deck of cards; but, now, it's my link to Babble.

11:57 am

musicmom

smapo - it goes up slight down to right and across the bottom

11:57 am

dl88

smapo, go down after the "s", not up

11:57 am

caitlyn

Im not crabby either hetty (but i do walk strangely)

11:57 am

Jera

Sags are finally on the chart!! Still no Aries, I might have to count my daughter... she doesn't really play though, she's more into sudoku & has gotten her teacher hooked, LOL

Hi Deutsch

What I read said that there wasn't a patch for it. Whatever that means?? I'm guessing, it can't be fixed yet.

You're right:) That's what it means.

Hi caitlyn, seems I'm not properly dressed. hmmm... pretzels....

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Yup

12:04 pm

Jera

stidmama, are they like regular players? I'm not counting Sprite because she really doesn't play, not sure what rules I'm gonna have. Should I say must play once a week? What says the group?

12:05 pm

Deutsch

Jera, how about how people feel about the game? Addicted versus non?

12:06 pm

stidmama

Matthew plays several times a week, but can't devote as much time since he is in school...

Grant plays a couple times a week, but is younger, so his goal is ten words or more. Tom plays only occasionally, but at least once a week...

12:06 pm

dl88

I could get a lot more work done if I only played once a week!!

12:06 pm

gramma

Deutsch, I was thinking the same criteria. Addiction.

12:06 pm

Jera

Deutsch, I wish I had a picture of zebra pretzels, that would be perfect, LOL

I have st5/10 where pigs live, but it's the only one I have, so I don't know if it's the first.

fe5/18 - has to do with Scottish fiefdoms, but it looks like German for fire, change final vowel, or start with French fire and add on.

12:42 pm

ARB

fe 5 fe + last vowel + first vowel + consonant

12:43 pm

12:51 pm

Bugzy

1st in - first 5 letters of (I think) opposite of ultraviolet

12:52 pm

ARB

The first in 5/16 is a kind of special red light . The 2nd in 6/18 is in + a word for not moving without the last letter.
The 3rd 7/28 is the present tense of that 2nd word

12:52 pm

12:56 pm

Bugzy

2nd fe5/16 - high-spirited, minus the sometimes vowel on the end

12:57 pm

Bugzy

1st fe5/16 - fencing move

12:57 pm

Kateq

the first fe 5/16 = as a verb, to make a pretense of, as a noun, a fake blow

12:58 pm

Kateq

TY Bugzy!!!

1:00 pm

ga 4/6 = mobsters' slang for weapons

1:01 pm

1:03 pm

Vicuna

en6/18 - to tangle up, ends with word for hard work. The 7 is present tense.

1:03 pm

ARB

en 6 en + to labor
en 7 --the third person singular verb form

1:04 pm

Kateq

ARB & Vicuna----many thanks!

O.K.abe, I'm asking. I'm stuck on the li/4's. I have 2 in which the first letter after "li" is the second vowel; 3 in which it's an "n"; one in which it's an "s" and one in which it's a "t" --now I van't seem to find any using "o"--or am I up a tree?

1:16 pm

ARB

There are 4 li's of the first type you described.

1:17 pm

hetty

oops! Can't count--I have 3 where the third letter is the second vowel :just remembered the french one

1:17 pm

ARB

And 5 of the second type you described. There is another type inbetween your two types.

1:18 pm

gramma

Thanks, everybody. I'm going to lay my weary head down for a short snooze. I'll come back later and help if I can.
^_^ g'nite.

1:18 pm

Bugzy

OK - must get some (real) work done today.
Happy Babbling, all!
:-)

1:18 pm

ARB

Sorry recounted - there are 5 of the first type where the 3rd letter is the 2nd vowel

1:19 pm

abe79

hetty, do you have the li 4 that you find in the clothes dryer?

1:19 pm

ExWren

hetty, there is an r and an f

1:20 pm

hetty

Yes m'dear, both in the dryer and on my list. But I've found the Shakespearean one. There must be one other lurking somewhere---

1:21 pm

ARB

Hetty, Do you have the plural?

1:22 pm

abe79

italian money? i had trouble with that one

1:22 pm

stidmama

hetty, do you have the one that means "in place of"

1:22 pm

ARB

How about the li which is fibs

1:28 pm

hetty

All you wonderful helpers, thank you so much. Don't know, ex-Wren, why Im never seem to see the ones in the upper right hand corner. Astigmatism maybe. Anyway, I'm just off to empty my dryer before getting a lift downtown to face the lines at the grocery store- - - - I tell you no lies

1:28 pm

stidmama

oooh -- hetty, wurds...

;-)

1:29 pm

ExWren

naughty, naughty, Hetty,

1:31 pm

lds

au6 and au7 is all that's left - related to au5?

1:32 pm

hetty

Oh I'm so sorry. Have I broken a rule? I thought we could use our words (wurds?) when it wasn't in the context of clue-giving. I am most contrite if I wrongly let my gratitude wash me away on a welter of worrrrds. . .

1:33 pm

abe79

lds, yes they are related. more 'endearing'

1:39 pm

chic

Good day all!
can I have a clue for the fe 5/18 please?

1:40 pm

in6/18 and 7/28? Thank you!

1:41 pm

lds

endearing au4? Sorry, I can't see it!

1:41 pm

stidmama

hi chic and harpjane!

fe 5/18 is the scottish word for one who owns land...

1:42 pm

hetty

fe/5-18 has to do with Debussy's apres-midi. Or think Bambi

1:42 pm

stidmama

in 6 and 7 were clued as something along the lines of "to place" values in children?

1:43 pm

Minski

au words
think about your father's sister's title

1:43 pm

abe79

au 6 and 7 are related to au 4. longer forms of the word

1:44 pm

chic

Hi Stid and thanx!

1:44 pm

harpjane

ty stid!

1:45 pm

hetty

oops, now I can't see the difference betwen "e" and "a". Have to get my eyes tested. But alas, the "fe'" word has eluded me too, despite my Scots Grandmamma. Something to do with the feudal system I expect.

1:45 pm

stidmama

hetty -- you are on the right track. first three letters of that system, then a vowel and a short hook letter...

1:48 pm

kaurie

is lickety's list in alphabetical order? like hetty, my last 2 words are fe, and i am getting nowhere fast

1:49 pm

stidmama

yes, Licket's list is in abc order...

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

stidmama

Temple Owl, no -- just a simple word meaning "chooses to"

1:51 pm

stidmama

one st 5/10 is the ti 4 with an s at the beginning

1:51 pm

hetty

Dear Stid, I hate to disappoint you, who are so very ready with marvellous clues, but my monkey has tried every combination pertaining to your suggested procedure in vain. Dinna fach thysen, I'll persevere

1:51 pm

stidmama

the other st 5/10 is another name for the animal "ermine"

1:53 pm

jeffer

ty stidmama the ermine did it!
ty

1:53 pm

stidmama

dun dun dun

DONE!!!

1:54 pm

torgone

hetty - second month minus some consonants and last letter

1:54 pm

stidmama

hetty, try this: fe + unside down n + first vowel + cons before s

1:58 pm

hetty

Ta Stid, you are a ruddy marvel. The thing is, the monkey used that thread and got the response "invalid" as with all the others. I swear. Anyway I and Kaurie now have a brand new word in our vocab . . Bless you

2:00 pm

stidmama

my new word today is the gl 5... who knew?

2:02 pm

kaurie

hee, sadly, i have that fe, it's the other 5 and 6 that elude me

chic - start form the bottom n and think numbers

2:06 pm

3:12 pm

MikeyInBerlin

a photo shoot, Hazel? what was that for?

3:13 pm

lynxxx

lovely - thnx haz

3:14 pm

Haz1558

It wasn't really a 'photo shoot' as in taking photos of models. I'm involved with a local cancer charity and we were getting photographs taken to publicise a sponsored walk that is happening and also a presentation of a gift from a local firm.

3:14 pm

Angela

what'd he look like firefly? Was I right? :)

3:15 pm

Dachef

3:17 pm

3:18 pm

lynxxx

dach - a servant or old italian money?

3:19 pm

Dachef

and its the bottom box........

3:19 pm

lynxxx

I cant get going on the IN words (which are probably the easiest) - any clues

3:19 pm

Haz1558

There's an li4 that uses just the letters in the bottom corner.

3:20 pm

Karys

its an li5 Dachef !!

3:20 pm

Haz1558

in5/16 - used as a prefix (think of a country's ***** structure)

3:21 pm

Dachef

nope - got all these so far! The in words - try in***-red, or in + what you do when the muic stops when you play statues, minus the last letter (and plural)

3:21 pm

Karys

errrmmm..no it isn't !!!!

3:21 pm

sherb

3:21 pm

MikeyInBerlin

3:22 pm

Haz1558

in6 and in 7 - to promote a sense of values is to in****

3:22 pm

Haz1558

One look at my photo would tell you that I wouldn't be modelling!!!

3:24 pm

Haz1558

Dachf - have you got French for place, or the old English word meaning 'rather' or to prefer.

3:24 pm

MikeyInBerlin

not necessarlily, Hazel; you could do catalogue modelling, probably.....and why not? what's wrong with your photo?

3:24 pm

Haz1558

Yes rolin - add a word that means to work in a laborious way.

3:25 pm

3:26 pm

Gladly, Dachef. But the Gulf Islands (north of your San Juans) are rather along way for you to come, and since it seems you are a chef and all I seem to run to is franks and beans, I'd feel intimidated.

5:22 pm

ch1212

Actually, Babbler prints a list of upcoming themes, and they are suggestions made by all of us. So if we have zipper day tomorrow or the 29th it's okay either way :)

9:38 pm

LeslieAnn

misshoax - f + au 4/5, change last letter to plural

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

9:39 pm

misshoax

thanks, i was thinking satyr wasn't on the grid. 7 to go. sheesh.

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you rumple -- getting closer

9:39 pm

stidmama

I understand -- I'm not the *most* organized person in my daily life, but when I am "teaching" it's a different matter entirely! I know how frustrating it is to have a disorganized instructor...

9:40 pm

featherbee

si 5,10?

9:40 pm

stidmama

both si 5/10 are the plural of the si 4 just before.

9:41 pm

9:41 pm

rumplestiltskin

si + hump + 2nd vowel, plural

9:41 pm

featherbee

geeze, i thought i tried that! as always, thanks

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

stid -- the worst part is -- he was brought in to get the whole plant back on track -- on one level he has succeeded -- most of the staff think he is nuts! The biggest prob is that he is from the West Coast and doesn't want to change his techniques

9:43 pm

rumplestiltskin

GOOD NIGHT ALL, GOOD LUCK!

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

G'night rumple!

9:43 pm

LeslieAnn

good night rumple!

9:44 pm

misshoax

fe5/16? fe6/27?

9:44 pm

stidmama

hmmm. most of us on the West Coast feel the same way about East Coast bosses! :-)

there's a big culture difference, but good supervisors will at least attempt to adjust! Will hope for a good resolution to this for you and your co-workers.

9:44 pm

rumplestiltskin

Leslie Ann, hope you unwind before tomorrow

9:44 pm

stidmama
