I'm fine, MrP. We're still waiting for spring to arrive properly. I keep looking at my summer clothes and wondering when I can get them into use!

5:11 am

bex777

karys i have the 2 k's they are both kh's

5:12 am

Jera

Do you have the feline? The other one rhymes with another word for smooch

5:12 am

licketySplitAUS

Karys - two K's second letter on both H, Forget the K, one you can put on your head, then other is a male thing.

5:12 am

Jera

Good clues, lickety!

5:13 am

Karys

5:14 am

licketySplitAUS

Love your pic Jera, gotta run - 250's about to start soon.

5:14 am

Jera

Thanks, he combines 2 fears for me. I hate clowns. But I adore Tim Curry!

5:15 am

licketySplitAUS

Yeah - Clown's are a bit distrubing - I'd be guessing on who Tim Curry is.

5:16 am

Jera

He's the actor who played Pennywise the Clown in the movie IT

5:19 am

mrpresident

Lickety... cast your memory back to Rocky Horror Picture Show... he was the transvestite lead male!

((Who is Tim Curry!! PPhfftt!)

5:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh yeah - Now I know where I know him. Thanks for the reminder mrp. And IT - oh my ---- That was one of the many Stephen King novel's that I was totally hooked on, but still haven't seen the movie!

5:21 am

Jera

He's changed a lot, though! i wanted him to be Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter movie...

5:22 am

ruthy

ty sprite

5:22 am

Jera

Pennywise was the best part of the movie. Actually seeing IT was quite a let-down. Much scarier in imagination...

5:22 am

ruthy

thats me finished thanks for the clues

5:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Those Harry Potter movies are great. They have a license to write whatever they want! Magic and Wizardry opens ALL doors!

Karys

congrats ruthy !!!!......spose I'd better slope of to the ironing board for a while :(

5:24 am

licketySplitAUS

5:25 am

Haz1558

It's plural ring around the saint's head - vowel attached

5:25 am

mrpresident

ha + electronic letter (take out the i)

5:30 am

GingerUK

5:34 am

Jera

Rather a middle-eastern feel to the grid today

5:47 am

Jera

Need help with the sk5, please

5:49 am

Haz1558

It's like the inuit minus the first vowel.

5:50 am

Jera

Thanks, Haz!

5:50 am

Tessley Wessley

hey wot does the ummm lets say sk5 mean?

5:51 am

Haz1558

It's a strange word - no definition given.

5:51 am

pthomp

word with 5 letters starts with sk

5:52 am

Haz1558

Tessley - it means a word beginning with sk which is 5 letters long. Look at Angelsong's babble page (under Friends of Babble) for lots of info on the game.

5:53 am

Tessley Wessley

thanks much appreciated...

5:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

rumple,
i'm about ready to toss this laptop out the window over that one. rrggghhhh. don't have it yet.
swear i've tried everything!

8:27 am

Kenny Chuck

It's not that we like to, Mikey. It's that when people from other cultures came here, we heard them use certain words from their native tongues and thought they sounded cool. Sooner or later, they worked their way into our vernacular and we spelled them the way we would based on the sound in American English, not the way they were spelled originally. The upside is we created new words. The downside is we have Americans thinking they know words in foreign tongues when they don't. At least, I think that's what happened.

8:27 am

kumquat

i'm in mikey's time zone.

godthaab

In reference to Mikey's post - American' "misspell" words becasue in the 1800s, there was a movement afoot to simplify the way words were spelled. They were successful with words like "honor" "color"etc., and I believe these spellings even got dragged through the courts. The American system embraced such spellings (like the ones I mentioned above) but not all words made it; for instance the spelling of tung (tongue) was not accepted. My rule of thumb for remembering the British spellings from the American spellings is that the Americans usually leave out a letter.

8:37 am

Kenny Chuck

I disagree, Smaller. I think we know exactly where it came from, but we tend to ignore them and take the credit (or, rather, ABSORB the credit)!!

11:22 am

hurshy

since i love all things british, i'll let that one slide, even though it is not particularly logical

well done angel, was still trying to work out a clue there for you

11:36 am

FMitch: that Sh5/12 is a Biblical word for Hell.

11:37 am

bonkler

lol need the same word, i'd be set if i were a christian

11:37 am

FMitch

That was in a grid not so long ago!

11:38 am

Angelsong

actually, the sh5/12 definition is the abode of the dead.

11:44 am

bonkler

so, about the abode of the dead, what vowel follows the 'h', for those of us that aren't followers? lol

11:44 am

hurshy

oops, went away...

exwren - it is the vice president, dick cheney

11:45 am

Bash

hurshy's icon in the Vice President of the US. He's not a man you want to train biathlon with... :)

11:45 am

hurshy

to explain about sh5/12 - the hebrews did not have our modern conception of heaven and hell, they just thought of there being one abode of the dead, so that is why hell is not the best definition

11:46 am

hurshy

female + beginning of spanish bullfighting cheer

11:47 am

gwenski

musicmom: the abbreviation for the birmingham state is the first two letters.

1:08 pm

stidmama

so this morning the weather in Olympia is partly cloudy -- lots of sun, then clouds, then sun again. Not sure about further north, but I expect more of the same. A little breezy at times, too.

1:09 pm

musicmom

we think we don't have the first ha4/6 we're looking.

1:09 pm

shirin

help please..ha6, 21

1:09 pm

gwenski

mklein: funny, my last 8 words all start with h or m, too!

1:09 pm

stidmama

1:09 pm

mich_pdx

1:11 pm

gwenski

No, the first ha4/6 ends with an anagram of **, myself, and I

1:11 pm

1:13 pm

stidmama

1:13 pm

shirin

I still cant get the "bloodike" clue stidmama?

1:14 pm

mich_pdx

shirin, HI! in case you didn't get it yet, the ha your looking for is what angels have, but with a more british way of spelling the plural

1:15 pm

stidmama

there is an ha 4 that looks like a misspelling of "blood" like the british spell it, plus the abbreviation for the state where B'ham is.

1:15 pm

shirin

thank you so much-got it now!

1:16 pm

stidmama

missyem == thanks for that last clue to shirin. I swear I am still not completely "here" LOL

1:18 pm

gwenski

That's also the last M I'm missing.

1:18 pm

musicmom

for that ha6/24 there a double vowel after the h. That helped us.

1:18 pm

stidmama

YAY musicmom and BGL!

ENJOY yourselves (and don't worry about us... we'll survive somehow)!

1:19 pm

musicmom

Daisy ma* (spell it with two vowels instead of the sometimes vowel).

Help

Hello all - Another late start for me! Have had son & daughter & the 5 littlies here today, the son & daughter in law were both at work ( one of them in India, which made coming for lunch a little difficult!).
3 littlies bedded down - so its me time!

3:51 pm

LeslieAnn

sounds like a complicated day, snowy!

3:51 pm

Dachef

katie - a good hint for a soaking hamster is to use a hairdryer. Alternatively, tape his little feet to his wheel and spin it for 10 mins - hey presto, instant spin dryer!

3:51 pm

stidmama

KAtieW, I completely understand! I once sat for several hours, dripping water down a hamster's throat to get it to wake up (we were hamster sitting). Of course, I am highly allergic, so paid well for that little interlude!

3:51 pm

cybernan

Missing an a from the end of the 4th row -- have french friends --- a clue for the other?

cybernan

five ha 5's

4:07 pm

snowyowl

stidmama

4:09 pm

cybernan

sorry -- four ha 5's, two he 5's

4:09 pm

4:10 pm

snowyowl

there are no ho5s stidmama

4:10 pm

Dachef

cnan/snowyowl - Ive checked, and Ive only got one word left, and 4xha5 and 1xhe5.

I think something somewhere might have gone horribly wrong....

4:10 pm

cybernan

there is no ho 5 -- three ho 4's

4:10 pm

mklein

make that ha, Mo. Been at this too long.

4:10 pm

cybernan

dachef -- two he 5's

4:11 pm

stidmama

thanks nan! going listless has obvious disadvantages!

4:11 pm

snowyowl

you need one more he5/14 Dachef there are two with the same socre -I only have one of them but I got the list cos I started so late!

4:11 pm

LeslieAnn

dachef, do you have the candy bar he 5/14?

4:12 pm

stidmama

one he 5 is the plant that grows on the moors (so i've been told)

4:12 pm

LeslieAnn

the other, take the ha 5/14 and change a to e

4:12 pm

stidmama

the other he 5: he + "masculine" - e

4:12 pm

Haz1558

For one of the he5 , extract a vowel from the ha6/24

4:12 pm

stidmama

LeslieAnn, we make a good team!

4:13 pm

Dachef

ok, if anyone has a fish, I need it. Spent ages looking for the last word, and it was the bl**dy he5 - the one that means patch of ground.

Anyways, done. No list for me!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!

4:13 pm

cybernan

he 5/14: 1. where sheep graze in Scotland (on the he***)
2. referring to blood (bottom of a dress + Mr. Gore or Mr. Murray

4:13 pm

mklein

the first ho 4 is a garden tool. The second is an old word that means to aid - think about chaucer..

4:13 pm

snowyowl

stidmama

YAY Dachef!

4:14 pm

4:20 pm

inge

4:21 pm

stidmama

thanks, inge! looking...

4:21 pm

Judi

Yes, Snowy. I bought a lovely lawn cart to replace our hideously rusted old wheelbarrow. Alas, my husband proclaimed it "gay". (No offense to anyone, of course.)

4:21 pm

inge

do you have the French word for friend?

4:22 pm

KatieMcG

Judi, It is tradition to visit places like that on a bank holiday over here. Today was a really nice day here and I went to the local DIY store for plants & soil so often the man serving there thought I was stalking him

4:23 pm

stidmama

the ams I have are friend (2 of those), nanny and its plural

4:23 pm

Haz1558

There's an ah4/6

4:23 pm

cdn_in_va

4:24 pm

Judi

I think stalking is permitted after April 21st in most countries, Katie.

4:24 pm

LeslieAnn

sh + a swedish furniture store, change e to s

4:24 pm

stidmama

that was it, haz! Thanks again...

4:24 pm

inge

you need the fresh water fish: an+third vowel plus first vowel

4:24 pm

snowyowl

LOL Judi! It's not so bad spending lots of money when you get something nice out of it.

4:24 pm

Eva

Hi everyone,
6 left to find. Can anyone offer help with:
ho4/5-not the thing to water your garden with
ho4/6-the last one
oh4/5
ol4/5
ta5/12 x 2-not what yu do with wild animals

Thanks in advance!!

4:25 pm

LeslieAnn

oh 4 - a state, change last vowel to another vowel

4:25 pm

stidmama

thanks inge -- I thought you had gone out - -are you just back again?

4:25 pm

Haz1558

ta5/12 - resembles the ha5 (pig joint and Mr Gore)

4:26 pm

inge

no, I took a nap, dont want to drive the car with gas prices what they are.

4:26 pm

snowyowl

ho4/6 insert an l in what kangaroos do to get around

4:26 pm

LeslieAnn

also ta 5/12 - change last vowel of domesticating animals

4:26 pm

Judi

Snowy, I told hubby he may be mocking the cart now, but he'd be thanking me for it later.

4:26 pm

Haz1558

Another ta5/12 - replace the last vowel of the domesticating animal one with the third vowel.

4:26 pm

Eva

Thanks haz & leslie! 4 left

4:26 pm

stidmama

boy do I hear that! am thinking of starting to ride my bike again, though it will be a while before I am strong enough to get into town with it!

4:27 pm

cdn_in_va

the first sh4,4 or maybe the second... not the pillowcase?

4:27 pm

KatieMcG

Inge - how much is your gas?

4:27 pm

LeslieAnn

change the last letter of the pillowcase, cdn

4:27 pm

Haz1558

The last ho4/6 resembles another word 'to aid' but change the vowel

4:28 pm

stidmama

there is an sh 4/4 that is rather vular for "pooped"

4:28 pm

inge

my Passat requires premium gas, now it dropped to #2.95, was 3.05 past week

4:28 pm

stidmama

sorry, "vular" should read *vulgar*

4:28 pm

snowyowl

He will too Judi! You just need to convince him how much easier his gardening will be now you've bought him a cart! LOL

4:29 pm

LeslieAnn

you were just so disgusted you couldn't type, right stid?

4:29 pm

cdn_in_va

thanks Leslie

4:29 pm

LeslieAnn

ol 4 - add two vowels, alt. spelling of butter

4:30 pm

Judi

That won't stop me from standing by with the digital camera the first time he uses the cart, so I can catch him doing something "gay" with it.

4:32 pm

inge

Eva, did you get all your clues? I lost track.

4:32 pm

stidmama

;-) Leslie, you know me too well!

4:32 pm

cliffopa

could someone help me with the 2nd he 5/14? i have mr. ledger.

4:32 pm

cdn_in_va

oh4?

4:33 pm

stidmama

ummm... actually, though I know it's a joke, I have too many people I love who are gay for it to be funny...

4:33 pm

faeriekae

Hey - Nice eat you *um I mean nice to meet you all here once again <grin>

4:33 pm

KatieMcG

Inge our gas (unleaded non premium) is 95.9p per litre, which equates to about $6.62 per gallon. It is begining to hurt :( When I went to Canada at Christmas I was facinated by the fact that the gas price changed during the day - I got obsessed with it.

4:33 pm

inge

he 5/14 bottom of skirt plus Birmingham state

4:33 pm

LeslieAnn

oh my goodness katie, that's crazy

4:33 pm

stidmama

4:34 pm

cliffopa

thank you inge :)

4:34 pm

faeriekae

Hey Stid - ME TOO!!!

4:34 pm

snowyowl

Hi faeriekae

4:34 pm

stidmama

hi cliffopa! Guess I'd better hide the cookies my mom and the boys made yesterday...

4:35 pm

faeriekae

I've just gotten home and sat down so please tell me is this doable or should I sit this one out?

4:35 pm

faeriekae

Hi ya Snowy :)

4:35 pm

inge

Yes Katie, the Detroit newspaper published British gas prices this morning...to make us feel better I guess. Prices go down on Mo to Th, and up for the weekend. Sometimes they do change daily.

4:35 pm

LeslieAnn

it's quite doable, faerie... many have down w/out the list (but not me!) :)

4:35 pm

abe79

fairiekae, i just started too, it's doable, just takes a lot of concentration

4:35 pm

stidmama

it's probably a lot easier WITH a list... I am down to 11, and just too stubborn to use the list now! LOL

4:36 pm

cliffopa

guess you'd better stidmama. since my son left i have no one to bake for (hubby doesn't like anything sweet 'cept me) can't bake a whole batch for myself now can i?

4:36 pm

snowyowl

It's OK Faerie - tho' I am using the list as I started late and have promised myself to get to bed before 2.30 this morning.

4:36 pm

LeslieAnn

well, you ARE the cookie monster....

4:36 pm

KatieMcG

I've really enjoyed this grid but had to resort to the list with 20 to go.

4:36 pm

faeriekae

Hi Cliff, Leslie, Inge, Judi and Katie, cdn and Eva and whooooh did I miss anyone?

4:36 pm

hurshy

hurshy to the rescue - let me play GWSIM, stidmama!

4:36 pm

GingerUK

si7 anyone? this is getting tedious!!!!

4:36 pm

stidmama

*so mix a half batch -- and freeze half the dough before baking...* we have ways around that sort of dilemma!

4:37 pm

inge

Of course, it is doable, Faeriekae, if you skip supper and chatting. You could do it in two hours. Go for it!!!

4:37 pm

Haz1558

Time to go. See you tomorrow.

4:37 pm

snowyowl

Hi hurshy

4:48 pm

hurshy

leslie, asking or guessing for stidmama?

4:49 pm

LeslieAnn

asking :)

4:49 pm

stidmama

yep Hurshy! that was it! 10 points!

4:49 pm

hurshy

mi 6/24 to point your weapon improperly

4:49 pm

hurshy

oooh, stidmama gives twice as many points as i do... now everyone will want to play with you instead of me

4:49 pm

LeslieAnn

huh. thanks hurshy

4:50 pm

LeslieAnn

we get points?? ooh i wanna play

4:50 pm

stidmama

thanks for the mi6... but I don't play GWSIM as often as you play GWHIM, so I think it'll even out. :-)

4:50 pm

hurshy

ok on to m's? i will guess the one that rhymes with h you just got, i suppose.

4:51 pm

stidmama

yep I had that one already.

4:51 pm

LeslieAnn

stid, do you have ma 5/14 - ma + a garden tool? (and plural)>?

4:51 pm

4:55 pm

cliffopa

hurshy had the boy and plural, and the bris guy... LA working on your clue...

4:57 pm

cliffopa

4:57 pm

LeslieAnn

stid, also, a subject in school ma 4, and a fabric me4?

4:57 pm

faeriekae

Leslie did you say there is a ma that is a plural of my name???

4:58 pm

LeslieAnn

no i said it's what your icon did

4:58 pm

hurshy

leslie, we should stop with the m's, and just tell her the rest are ma or me 4's, and they are all easier, so she doesn't end up feeling fishy.

4:58 pm

stidmama

LA, got your clue, 20 points! have the other two already...

4:58 pm

LeslieAnn

5:02 pm

cliffopa

5:10 pm

faeriekae

Congrats Katie!!!!!

5:11 pm

LeslieAnn

ummm... xylem is not my forte

5:11 pm

stidmama

I think ph 6 is the same as the gooey stuff that gets stuck in people's throat... ph + tall letter + a type of literature that often rhymes - p

5:11 pm

LeslieAnn

yay katie!

5:11 pm

KatieMcG

Thanks Stidmama, I think it is just the sulks, he seemed to be able to eat his chocolate buttons just fine earlier :)

snowyowl

5:13 pm

stidmama

missed it -- 20 points for you, one word to go (m)

5:13 pm

LeslieAnn

it helped me get it, though! stid i'm down to 2, just might give you a run for your mo 6

5:13 pm

hurshy

stid, i will only tell you we guessed all the weird m's, so in order to preserve your dignity i will let you find the last one yourself - ma or me.

5:14 pm

stidmama

okay... LeslieAnn, first one to the finish line buys the other a chocomochajavalatte!

5:14 pm

stidmama

but, but, but... HURSHY! I don't want to be dignified! I want to be DONE!

5:14 pm

LeslieAnn

ooh, i don't even know what that is, but sounds yummy

5:15 pm

hurshy

after you're done you'd wish you'd been dignified :)

5:15 pm

hurshy

and now you're in a race, so to be fair i'd have to play GWLIM too...

5:16 pm

LeslieAnn

done!!

5:16 pm

hurshy

5:16 pm

LeslieAnn

but i used the list

5:16 pm

stidmama

hurshy

oh, pfft!

5:16 pm

faeriekae

that's alright it still counts.

5:16 pm

stidmama

*pout* just because it's good for me doesn't mean I have to like it!

5:17 pm

LeslieAnn

stid owes me a chocomochajavalatte!

5:17 pm

hurshy

5:18 pm

faeriekae

5:18 pm

hurshy

the word you seek
is hard to miss
just take a peek
it's just like th4

5:18 pm

LeslieAnn

all of the above, please

5:18 pm

hurshy

i suppose if they both knew what they were getting into... :)

5:19 pm

5:20 pm

hurshy

no no ginger, it's not like the th4, i'm just not allowed to type the th4 cause it's a word

5:20 pm

hurshy

sigh - that clue was much more effective the first time when i forgot th4 was a word and just typed it.

5:21 pm

5:25 pm

GingerUK

5:25 pm

stidmama

I have that. my last m is from the one in the fourth column, fourth row.

5:26 pm

hurshy

a carnivore
prefers my taste
so give him more
but do not waste

5:26 pm

stidmama

At least that was what faeriekae's icon thought! I have that already, too.

5:27 pm

hurshy

but then, we've gone through ALL the m 4's, stid!

5:27 pm

faeriekae

Hi Faeryie, hi Stid--is your list of what you are seeking, or what you have found?

5:31 pm

LeslieAnn

5:32 pm

hurshy

5:32 pm

LeslieAnn

5:32 pm

faeriekae

Leslie - Thank you, thank you....I forgot I put a load of laundry in when I got home.

5:32 pm

GingerUK

mi6 /24 anyone?

5:33 pm

hurshy

mi 6/24 to point your weapon improperly

5:33 pm

LeslieAnn

ginger, to point your gun in the wrong direction

5:33 pm

stidmama

I DID NOT MISLED US! the stupiddumb server didn't enter the stupiddumb word! It took me four more tries just now!

But you are right Hurshy... LeslieAnn did give me the clue earlier, and I asserted I had it, because it was there last night...

5:34 pm

stidmama

btw, the histrionics were artificial, just like most of the me 4 our family consumes...

5:34 pm

LeslieAnn

um, girls let's just put this all behind us. congrats, congrats stid!!

5:34 pm

hurshy

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH poor stidmama!!!!

I am finished.

5:35 pm

hurshy

yay!

5:35 pm

faeriekae

Stid - I've been having the EXACT same problem - the server doesn't want to accept words that are there just like the me** word that I also typed about 3 or 4 times before it accepted it.

5:36 pm

faeriekae

&~&~&~&~& CONGRATULATIONS STID &~&~&~&

5:36 pm

hurshy

now tell everyone how good it feels to

BE LISTLESS

5:36 pm

stidmama

well, *sob, gasp, choke* at least it isn't picking only on me... one of the drawbacks to running a successful and popular game, I suspect, eh, Dr. God?

5:36 pm

hurshy

yeah it's done that to me too stidmama :(

5:37 pm

stidmama

I am so happily listless! But tomorrow, I take it easy on myself. This took me waaaay longer than I like to spend online. :-)

6:02 pm

scatty

Hi stid

6:03 pm

krausbrew

what is the word count today?

6:04 pm

stidmama

oh, I wish I were closer so I could see your garden and greenhouse! I like marigolds -- both the calendula and the tagetes from Mexico. Which are you growing?

6:04 pm

faeriekae

Scatty - I want to come over and play in your greenhouse....and I would take marigolds home with me. You must have one heck of a greenhouse. Mine is not quite that large. lol

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

faeriekae

Hi Krausbrew :)

6:06 pm

faeriekae

thanks Stid :) excellent clue there.

6:07 pm

xena

how many words? how many 7's, 8's etc. please? I just started.

6:07 pm

scatty

its 8ft by 6ft, i have two old wooden shelves that go about three quarters of the way down and a bought one that has four shelves at the end and on the opp side i have a grew bag for toms to grow, but at the moment i've run out of space as its too cold to leave anything out

6:08 pm

stidmama

xena, use Lickety's list, there is a link to it on the right of the page. He gives good stats as well as word counts...

6:08 pm

hetty

Hi, Stid. I have both sh5's ending in stick. What I'm looking for is the sh5 12 (one of the two you mention is sh5/14, according to lickety's list

6:08 pm

stidmama

yes, I put a bougainvillea out a little early. pretty sure it will recover, but it's not happy with me right now!

6:09 pm

faeriekae

Scatty mine is actually indoors in my basement under lights. I have marigolds and castor beans and poppies in it right now. They are getting close to being ready to go outdoors. I just has to warm up here a little more also.

6:09 pm

scatty

i was lucky, a friend moved onto a narrow boat and sold it to me for Â£20 last year, my hubby thought it was a good idea at the time but he's having second thoughts now as this time of year i'm always out there and moaning that it isn't big enough

6:10 pm

stidmama

no hetty, I am pretty sure both of them are 5/12. the sh 5/14 I have is related to a guilty feeling for having done something wrong.

6:11 pm

krausbrew

hi faeriekae!

6:11 pm

stidmama

castor beans? I never considered growing them -- are they for pretty or purpose?

6:11 pm

GingerUK

se4 /5 and se5 /12... next to each other

6:12 pm

faeriekae

LOL Scatty - good for you...I'd love to have an actual greenhouse. Someday I hope to. I did get my arbor built last year that I had been wanting forever and I just love it. I have honeysuckle growing all over it. I planted 3 diffrent varities.

6:12 pm

GingerUK

s'ok, got them now!

6:12 pm

krausbrew

anyone got a clue for sh6,33?

6:12 pm

scatty

faeriekae, is it warm enough in the cellar, i thought it would be too cold, i have a little parafin heater on every night at the moment, we need some sun

6:12 pm

GingerUK

so close... 4 h's to go and I think I have them mismarked grrrrr

6:12 pm

stidmama

se 4/5: "part;" the se 5 is the plural, in the US we call large trucks that carry cargo se 5...

6:13 pm

stidmama

the h's were tough today. Let me know what kind of help you desire...

6:13 pm

faeriekae

Stid - Castor Beans are beautiful....They like lots and lots of water and I've had mine get up to 12' tall and 6' around and the leave huge and they are beautiful and they do have a pretty bloom in the late summer just before they seed and then I always save the seeds for the coming year.

6:14 pm

scatty

stid, i put some sunflowers out the other day and left them out over night and a SNAIL had a midnight feast

6:14 pm

stidmama

my mother in law gave us a lovely arbor a couple years ago that I have two tea camellias under and then hang baskets later in the year. I want to build another, so I have something my new clematis plants can enjoy!

6:14 pm

scatty

i have never heard of caster beans

6:15 pm

GingerUK

the first ha4 /5

6:15 pm

faeriekae

Scatty I've got 3 200 watt bulbs and a small heater all under a large clear plastic tarp and it works fantastic. But you are right we need lots of sunlight and warm nights.

6:15 pm

hetty

And once again, Stid, you have put your finger on the right place. I blush for you-know-what. Man ythanks

6:15 pm

stidmama

yuck. snails. There is a product in the US called "sluggo" which is little pellets that contain iron... they are pet and child and bird safe, but the mollusks eat them and then crawl away to be compost for other plants...

6:16 pm

6:17 pm

stidmama

TempleOwl! are you feeling any better?

6:18 pm

scatty

cheers stid, i will have to look for it, i bought some slug stuff last year and it didn't make any difference, when it gets dusk, you can see all the slugs come out to play, there are black lines everywhere

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:20 pm

Sherbie

I'm having trouble finding the sk 5-letter word. Can someone give a hint?

6:21 pm

xena

stidmama: I've been playing babble for a long time and never use anything but clues that people are willing to give or finding the words on my own. I'm pretty computer illiterate. That's why my scores are so low I guess.

6:21 pm

faeriekae

Scatty - you bet I want them. I love Zinnas, Pansys and Toms...Wish I could dash right over and get them and I would bring you some castor beans :)

6:21 pm

stidmama

zinnias! scatty -- that's what i've been forgetting to start! bless you, bless you! I have seeds, (somewhere) just need to get them plunked into the trays and started in the bathroom... that's all I ever use the "garden tub" for!

6:21 pm

Hi Jon

6:21 pm

krausbrew

Great, I'm done and without the hint! A couple of really obscure words today.

6:22 pm

xena, today I was "listless" too -- very frustrating, because a couple of words didn't "take" the first few times I entered them in! couldn't figure out which things I was missing.

6:22 pm

YAY krausbrew!

6:30 pm

krausbrew

We've been on Stage 2 restrictions for the past 2 years now going into our third. Can't water between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. No car washing, no washing driveways or patios, etc.

6:31 pm

faeriekae

Kraus - there is a burning ban here in my part of the state of Michigan but We had tons and tons of snow this winter so the ground is just dry on top. I would hate not being able to water my gardens :(

6:34 pm

stidmama

6:34 pm

stidmama

ciao krausbrew! see you tomorrow?

6:35 pm

Today we cancelled all our plans and just hung out with the three of us since today was my last day of maternity leave. (eek!) Mom is still in hosp, as far as I know. I've been in radio silence since yesterday (long story), but I trust that I would have been called if anything changed.

7:30 pm

stidmama

i am tired of the dark icon... going to go change. brb

7:31 pm

knutmeg

Yes, back to work, already. Time went by too fast! I'll babble as much as I can, as long as tomorrow's puzzle is good, I'll play tomorrow, since I don't work until 6pm. As I work nights in general, I'll mostly be around at flips to see what the puzzle is like. :-)

7:32 pm

bigherb

alrighty then. thanx. that helps. cept I've got a long way to go.

7:33 pm

jeffer

bigherb, shouldn't take too long ...
plenty of clues in the chat log too.

7:34 pm

stidmama

ahhh, that's better. will work on tomorrow's icon now while I chat... refresh if you want, it's a leaf again.

7:35 pm

scatty

nice and bight stid, that woke me up

7:36 pm

jeffer

hey stidmama did you know it changes all the way back in the log?
btw what was the other one?

7:36 pm

stidmama

not sure what the other one was -- some sort of spectre of death, I think, grim reaper scythe and all!

7:37 pm

scatty

knut, i nearly always miss the flip, i try to stay up, but rarely make it

7:37 pm

jeffer

you are right this is much lighter

7:37 pm

stidmama

scatty, considering where you are, you might do better to wake up for the flip instead of staying up for it! LOL

7:38 pm

knutmeg

I'm a night gal, so I'm almost always up until 1am (central time, as I live in IL). Luckily when I go back to work (tomorrow!), I'm working the evening shifts, so I'll be getting home right around the flip. I'll be stopping in whenever I can if I do the puzzle throughout the days, though.

7:39 pm

jeffer

and not sleeping at the keyboard either
scatty

7:40 pm

scatty

i try going to bed early but when hibby comes to bed he always manages to wake me up, bumps into the bed, has the hall light shining in my face, then my back starts hurting because i have been laying in one position too long, vicious circle

7:40 pm

stidmama

that's convenient, knutmeg! I'm more of a morning person, but staying up later has become a habit so that I can spend time with Tom in the evenings after the boys go to sleep.

7:41 pm

scatty

jeffer, i only fell asleep once playing babble and it was 5am

7:41 pm

abe79

sorry to be random, i'm down to my last ha's can anyone offer assistance?

scatty

abe which ha

7:43 pm

hetty

Please help me too. there are 3 ha4's I just can't find, and one ha5

7:43 pm

knutmeg

totally convenient, for me. However, my husband is also a night person, and he has to work 4am-noon shift, so we don't have to afford a babysitter. Poor guy hates that shift. And going to bed at 6pm. His life is going much rougher with me at work, cuz he'll have to be on baby duty.

7:43 pm

scatty

beaz - ha6 - ha+2nd vowel+letter before n+1st vowel+letter before m

7:43 pm

abe79

thanks jeffer and stidmama- the first ha 4/6 ...ha 6/21 and ha 5/14 (not the one that rhymes with a popular boys name)

7:43 pm

stidmama

ha 6/24: ha + auntie ** (from the wizard of oz) + ** Gore

7:43 pm

abe79

thanks to hetty too . and i LOVE your icon

7:44 pm

scatty

hetty, do you have the laughter ones (ha twice)

7:45 pm

stidmama

the other ha 5/14 is like the ha 6/24, remove the e

7:45 pm

scatty

hety - ha+3rd vowel+letter after j, also a snake for the ha 5

7:46 pm

jeffer

the ha 5/14 after the angel thingys is
based on the very first ha 4/6 + first vowel and a consonant

7:47 pm

jeffer

stidmama you clue with ease ...

7:47 pm

stidmama

oh poor Seth! He'll do fine, eventually! LOL and it's not for ever, just until she's a little older. I always tell myself I can do anything for x amount of time... and so far, I've been right.

7:47 pm

hetty

Scatty, I hve the ha that rhymes witn "name"( both spellings thereof), the archaic term for "has", the thing saints wear above their heads (plus plural), and the laughter (with a plural form which replaces the last vowels with a snake) What else is there?

7:47 pm

stidmama

jeffer, you don't see the rust flying as the wheels turn! LOL

7:48 pm

scatty

i need to clean this keyboard, the keys are sticking, i think my son was eating icecream while on msn today, will have to have words about eating while playing on here

7:48 pm

abe79

ok, down to ha 6/21 and al 5/14

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

7:50 pm

abe79

oh duh, i can't believe i missed al 5/14. thanks so much stidmama, jeffer , scatty - i can stop ignoring my company now!

7:51 pm

stidmama

YAY abe!

7:51 pm

scatty

hetty, do you have the ha+same letters again
plus ha+ letter after g+snake

7:52 pm

scatty

hetty, ha= not a whole, cut it in two to make a ha

7:52 pm

knutmeg

Yeah, I do feel bad for Seth... to a point. Then I remember I am finishing up 6 weeks of 24/7 baby duty complete with lack of sleep and all the other fun. Luckily for both of us, She is regularly sleeping 5-7 hours at night, and as long as we leave the lights low, she'll go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours after a feeding when she does wake up. I believe Seth will survive the trials okay. (Sorry for delayed responses, working on the puzzle)

7:54 pm

abe79

goodnight to all!

7:54 pm

hetty

scatty, thanks--I have that (rhymes with "name"); also its other spelling, so thanks, both the lovely clue-givers who helped mefind the ha with the dot letter after a. What a word. And I have the laughing ones. So I have one more to go and then I'LL be laughing. But dinner calls, so later--by and thanks again

7:55 pm

scatty

hetty, ha +crossed letter+ letter after g

7:55 pm

scatty

bye Hetty

7:56 pm

stidmama

scatty -- depending on what type of keyboard you have... we put ours in the dishwasher to clean. Just be sure it's completely dry before you plug it back in!

7:57 pm

scatty

stid, that would be a bit differcult at the mo, i could put it in the dishwasher, but its in the garden shed at the mo (no room in the kitchen) so it would be a long time before it cleaned its self

7:58 pm

stidmama

oh that's funny! :-D

scatty -- the other way is to give it a shower...

7:59 pm

beazus

please....need a clue to the sk 5/20....I can't seem to monkey type the right one...! Thanks!

8:00 pm

stidmama

just got back, actually! my eyes are not quite ready to joust with full light conditions, so I came back to my dark room. :-(

8:33 pm

stidmama

fortunately, dinner will be easy tonight, got the beets into the water to boil and the rest has to wait for that anyway!

8:34 pm

faeriekae

So Stid your not seeing well right now???
How about having dinner with me???

8:35 pm

stidmama

faeriekae -- is that what the castor beans are really for?!?

8:35 pm

faeriekae

LOL

8:35 pm

stidmama

how many words do you still need, and do you want help with any of them?

8:37 pm

faeriekae

Stid - Really you should try growing them they make beautiful plants just put them in a place where kids won't be around them. I've got my little Shih-Tzu and he really doesn't bother them at all. So I don't really think you'd have to worry too much about your pets either.

8:37 pm

faeriekae

I need 4 more words and yes please....the first
ta 5/12

8:38 pm

stidmama

I know -- at 11 and 13 the boys would be fine with them, and we rarely have very young children here anyway. I am thinking of making a speciman garden in one corner of the yard where I put things that are absolutely not edible... just in case.

8:39 pm

stidmama

ta 5/12: Mexican food, wrapped in corn husks and steamed. not tacos, but .... (just the first five letters)

GreyWoulf

I am, faerie -- now if only I could get him to burp on a consistent basis I would be ecstatic as well

8:47 pm

faeriekae

And finished.

8:47 pm

stidmama

8:47 pm

stidmama

YAY faeriekae!

8:47 pm

faeriekae

Eva are your finished???

8:49 pm

Eva

Doing pretty well-a gorgeous evening, lots of stars, frogs doing their orgy thing at the top of their lungs, Merp lying curled up on my bed, his belly filled with nice raw chicken, mine filled with chicken marsala, and Bach on the radio. Not in any physical pain at the moment, for which I am always deeply, deeply grateful. Who could ask for more?

How are you doing?

8:49 pm

stidmama

do you burp him in the middle of feedings as well as at the end? if he tends to suck a lot of air, getting it up in smaller amounts my be the key.

8:49 pm

faeriekae

LOL GW - Baby burp up is not nice on your clothers is it.

8:49 pm

Eva

yes,I'm done. Did it in 3 chunks today.

8:50 pm

mel james

hope all are great around the world , have a great day , or night every one

8:50 pm

stidmama

Eva, it sounds like a heavenly evening! what fun.

8:50 pm

stidmama

YAY Eva!

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

stid -- we have tried all the various permutations of feeding and burping -- he just doesn't like to give them up

8:50 pm

stidmama

meljames are you coming or going?

8:50 pm

faeriekae

CONGRATULATIONS EVA !!!!!!

WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT

8:51 pm

stidmama

one of my boys needed to burp a lot, the other didn't. kids are funny that way. :-)

8:51 pm

Eva

Thanks for the cheering squad. If anyone needs any clues I'll be around for a little while.

8:51 pm

GreyWoulf

the nice thing is he doesn't spit up except minimal bits, so I consider myself to be very lucky indeed

8:51 pm

faeriekae

Mel James are you also finished?

8:52 pm

Eva

faeri-who is your picture of?

8:52 pm

faeriekae

Jeffery Dahmer

8:53 pm

Eva

Okay....was the theme today about unusual diets or something?(-:

8:53 pm

faeriekae

Sound be Jeffrey Dahmer the serial eater...

8:53 pm

stidmama

LOL Eva -- monsters... but I got tired of mine, and changed.

8:54 pm

faeriekae

Hummmm I think todays theme is monsters and I thought he was the scariest monster I could possilby come up with.

8:54 pm

majmom

well goodnite all-too late to do any more-one of these days or night i`ll get them all-ta ta and good luck

8:54 pm

stidmama

if i fade in and out it's because i'm blogging while I chat... I try to keep it updated once a week, though I usually fail. Just not very disciplined!

8:55 pm

snowy148

Hi everyone.

8:55 pm

faeriekae

Good night Majmom - sweet dreams :)

8:55 pm

stidmama

good night majmom! see you tomorrow!

8:55 pm

faeriekae

Hi Snowy148 :)

8:55 pm

Eva

hi snowy.

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

stidmama -- I have a live journal account with exactly 2 entries in it from over a year ago -- so I think I have you beat1 ;D

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Hello snowy :)

8:56 pm

faeriekae

I'm going to call it a night myself. I'm tired so I'm going to take Max for a walk and then hit the shower then off to bed.

8:57 pm

faeriekae

Everyone have a good night and sleep well :)

8:57 pm

snowy148

How old is your baby Grey?

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

sleep well and dream deep, faerie :)

8:57 pm

stidmama

good night faeriekae! sleep well and dream of pretty flowers and happy plants.

8:57 pm

Eva

good night and thanks again stidmama!

8:57 pm

stidmama

hi snowy148

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

he is 3 months, snowy :)

8:58 pm

Eva

sorry-meant to say faeri-

8:58 pm

stidmama

LOL our icons do look a lot alike at the moment don't they? *grin*

8:59 pm

snowy148

Hes beautiful. When burping if he is stubborn, try rubbing his back in circular motions and then pat. It may help.

8:59 pm

Eva

think it's time for me to turn in too. Going to try to paint the bedrooms tomorrow, so need my energy.

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks for the advice snowy -- we have tried everything -- he is my second and I think he is just like his daddy -- stubborn when someone tries to tell him what he should do ;)

9:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Rest well, Eva :)

9:01 pm

snowy148

Lol. Sounds like my daughter when she was a baby. Taurus the bull and she lives up to it.

9:01 pm

hurshy

hi GW, haven't seen you in awhile. it's so hard to believe it's been 3 months already since he was born!!

9:02 pm

stidmama

Good night Eva -- don't overdo the painting! take breaks frequently and stretch... (painted several of our rooms in the last two years). And work top to bottom so you catch drips on the way down! :-)

9:03 pm

snowy148

Has anyone in here ever played word yacht? Or wordox?

9:03 pm

stidmama

no, never have. what are they like?

9:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey hurshy!!!!

I know, but I am glad that they are over -- he is beginning to smile and interact with us instead of being a lump that cries occasionally :)

9:04 pm

hurshy

that is good :)

9:04 pm

snowy148

Word yacht is like yahtzee only with letters. You have several categories such as 3 and 4 letter words, or a straight which is one 3 a 4 , 5 6 7. You also have starter where you made 15 words all starting with the same letter.

9:04 pm

hetty

Hullo, I'm back. With 2 requests, actually, but also with lol to GreyWoulf and Faeriekae, if she's still there, and Eva (I* love Bach too) and my dear buddy Stidmama. I have just two words to find:a po4 and one of those awful ha 4's to boot. Any hints?

9:05 pm

GreyWoulf

don't know either of those, snowy

Hurshy, how have you been? One of the last times I saw you, you were a bit, shall we say, dark teatime of the soulish?

9:06 pm

hurshy

hetty - since it sounds like you are using the list, can you tell us the point values and where they fall (1st ha4/5, or whatever)?

9:07 pm

hurshy

i'm better now GW - the zoloft seems to be helping. in fact yesterday mab was worried that i was getting manic! - but i told her it was only online that i was so very high-spirited, not in the real world.

9:07 pm

snowy148

In wordox, you steal points from your opponent. Its very interesting and can be fast or slow paced. They are both good games.

9:07 pm

stidmama

po 4s are:

"little ditty"; game played on horseback with mallets; to hold a position, "strike a po**"; very fancy, think Po** Spice of the singing group

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Good to hear, hurshy :)

9:08 pm

stidmama

those sound like good games, ones my kids would enjoy as well! I will have to look for them.

9:08 pm

hurshy

thanks, GW... you, and others, have helped a lot.

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

snowy -- I actually had a word yahtzee set when I was growing up --- wordox is a new one to me :)

hursh -- as I have said before -- I am always here for a friend :) -- btw, which messenger(s) do you use, if any?

9:10 pm

stidmama

hurshy -- glad you came back. you're better at playing GWH*2IM than I am!

9:10 pm

hurshy

just AIM, the firewall blocks the others.

9:11 pm

hurshy

lol stidmama

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

can I get it w/o being a subscriber? Sometimes having the privacy can be a benefit

9:12 pm

snowy148

Here is the link. If you get an account there (its free) they will send an email and there is a link to click, They give you a passowrd. It is best to copy and paste the password or it can be tricky. http://hoylegames.sierra.com/i ndex.jsp

9:13 pm

hurshy

yes, GW, it is a free download

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

snowy and hursh -- then I will look into it this week :)

9:13 pm

hurshy

but i don't particularly object to people knowing i'm on meds, if that's what you're worried about :)

9:15 pm

GreyWoulf

that's not it, hursh -- sometimes chatting is easier w/o the confusion of multiple threads -- not to mention less distracting for those who may be trying to get clues

9:15 pm

stidmama

meds are good! I take fluoxetine for the panic attacks and social anxiety/phobias, and it really helps me cope. You are NOT alone hurshy! I have even been able to spend a half hour a week volunteering in the boys' school recently... it feels good to feel good!

9:16 pm

hurshy

well, i just saw you were here, GW, and wanted to say hi...i'm pretty tired, was up late last night...so i'm going to be off again to head to bed. thanks stidmama :)

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, hurshy, I am glad you did-- you gave me a warm fuzzy :)

9:18 pm

hurshy

:)

night all!

9:18 pm

stidmama

good night hurshy! sleep well, and thanks so much for all your help and hand-holding today!

9:18 pm

hurshy

yw stidmama :)

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

stidmama -- often I feel like the odd man out these days -- I have no major medical conditions, I am on no meds of any sort, I have had no major surgical procedures -- I am so healthy it is scary at times :D

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

sleep well hurshy and dream deep :)

9:23 pm

snowy148

Well, Ive been summoned to sierra. Take care all and if you are ever at word yacht lookk me up and I'll show you the ropes. I'm snowy149 there and I'm always in singles and pairs room 1. Have a great night.

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

My cat is objecting to the fact that I am brushing crumbs from my banana bread off of her back :D

9:24 pm

stidmama

good night snowy148! thanks!

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

so long snowy -- will do!

9:25 pm

hetty

It's the first po4, the one worth 6 points (I have the name of the literary form.) The ha's are less easily isolated. POint values in parenthesis. I have, thanks largely to you, Stid, the term for dividing into 2 equal parts(8), the aura of the saint (5), the laughter (6) and its apparent plural (both 6) , the term for a Japanese poem --minus its last letter--(9), the archaic form of "has"( 6), the greeting (5) , the homonym for "name"--meaning birthplace--in two spellings, one decidedly SCots looking (both 6) and another Scots-lookng term rhyming with "ye banks and *****" (5) Now while you are trying to digest all that I'll reflect on turning it into a poem of my own a la Hurshy

9:25 pm

snowy148

YW. Night.

9:25 pm

stidmama

ooh, poor kitty! LOL

Woulf, I wanted to respond to your "odd man out" comment, but don't know quite what to say except I am glad you are well and compassionate to those of us who aren't!

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

stid -- I don't think it is worthy of comment -- I just needed to get it off my chest and that was a convenient opening :)

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

especially since I don't know if the motivation was envy or pride ;D

9:28 pm

stidmama

hetty! try the thing angels wear on their heads!

9:29 pm

stidmama

oh -- you have that, never mind. If you have ten ha 4 total, then you have all of them. Do you need a 5 or 6? have you tried plurals?

9:30 pm

wassup

help with the sh 5/12 (1st) and 6/24? Oh, and hi!

9:33 pm

stidmama

sh 6/24: what you put a blade *(knife or sword) into

9:34 pm

wassup

ah, thanks

9:34 pm

GreyWoulf

sh5 -- "the abode of the dead in the Bible."

9:34 pm

GreyWoulf

starts with female pronoun

9:34 pm

stidmama

sh 5/12 #1: Hebrew word for he double hockey sticks... sh + two vowels + stick letter// there is another 5/12 almost exactly the same

9:35 pm

stidmama

gotta go work on dinner again. the beets are ready to peel. BBL

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

ciao for now, stidmama :)

9:36 pm

hetty

More blushes. I've just gone over my list for the umpteenth time and what I'm missing isn't "ha" at all--it's an "ma/5" and point value is 14--not the one that means to injure for life. Oh how debilitating this all is. But I refuse to give up when only 2 words remain. Stubborn, as my mom used to say

9:37 pm

wassup

thanks, got the 5 & 6

9:39 pm

hetty

If Stid is peeling beets, will someone else please help me out? I need an ma5 and a po4. Ta.

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

yw, wassup

hetty, wish I could help but I only have about half of the m's currently

9:40 pm

Jacula

Hiya Hetty - ma5/14 = ma + garden tool.

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Jac!! -- how have you been lady?

9:42 pm

Jacula

Hi Wolfie. Fine, thanks. Had a lovely birthday.

The icon theme today is 'monsters'. Has Seb been one lately??

9:42 pm

Jacula

Hetty - re the po4. Can you be more specific? There are a few...

9:43 pm

bleugirl2

any hints for HA 6/24 and 5/20?

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Nope -- just needed to share the recent pic -- I sent some to swmbo to update the announcement page, but she's been busy this weekend it looks like :)

9:43 pm

hetty

Well bless you, Jac, and thank you, Greywoulf. Maybe I can help you, once I have this blasted po4 put to bed.

9:44 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Glad to hear it (that's Seb's not been a monster, I mean). You can e-mail the pics to me, if you like and have time.

9:44 pm

wassup

mi 6/24

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

I barely pay attention to the themes lately -- barely have enough to play, let alone, icon shop

9:44 pm

bleugirl2

also need HA 5/14, second to last one

9:46 pm

Jacula

Bluegirl - Sorry, bleugirl, ha6/24 means 'of or relating to the blood or blood vessels '. Add Mr. Bundy from 'Married With Chidlren' TV series to the ha4 above it.

9:46 pm

bigherb

wassup - you have to point at the target

9:47 pm

Jacula

ha5/20, bleugirl, is the plural of the ha 4 above it.

9:47 pm

wassup

thank you. good clue!

9:47 pm

Jacula

2nd to last ha5/14 - a Muslim porter.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - I know what you mean, A young family is very time-consuming. How's the job going?

9:48 pm

hetty

bleugirl, your first ha begins like the Latin term for blood and ends with a suffix like a man's nickname (think Gore)Then your second is exactly the same except for dropping the second vowel.

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

should be made perm any day now :)

9:49 pm

Jacula

Hetty - Have you managed to pin down which po4 you need yet?

9:49 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - That's good news. You must've impressed them then.

9:49 pm

bigherb

ok. it's getting late. I'm happy with 100 on my first visit here. Maybe I'll come back and play again sometime. Thanx all for the help.

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

or else they are that desperate! ;D

9:51 pm

hetty

Jac, yup; it's not the literary form and it's not the game and it's not what a poseur does.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Hetty - po4/6 - The nickname Victoria Beckham of The Spice Girls was known by. Po** Spice.

9:52 pm

harpjane

hetty--is it the type of lifestyle that the leisure class might have?

9:53 pm

bleugirl2

thanks everyone. now i need MI 6/24. I think someone else asked but I didn't see the answer.

9:53 pm

Jacula

Failing that, Hetty, it means smart and fashionable, maybe even a bit stuck-up.

9:54 pm

Jacula

mi6/24 - to point your gun the wrong way.

9:54 pm

bleugirl2

thx. didn't even know that was a word.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Wolfie! I'm sure it was your reliability, honesty and expertise that swung it.

9:55 pm

hetty

bleugirl, if you decide to shoot someone and your shot goes astray it' smaybe because of this--a failure ton take correct ***

9:55 pm

bleugirl2

PH 6/27??

9:55 pm

Jacula

Hetty - have you found that po4 now?

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL -- stop it, my sides are hurting too much Jac ;D

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

ma4/9?

9:57 pm

Jacula

Bleugirl - the ph word means - The food-conducting tissue of vascular plants, consisting of sieve tubes, fibers, parenchyma, and sclereids. Also called bast.

It's like a rhyming po4 but with and 'h' and another consonant added after the p.

9:58 pm

hetty

oh dear. You are all so helpful and I'm so helpless. My granddaughters all know the names of the Spice Girls (but for them I wouldn't even know what they did to add spice to lfe) but alas they are all far way. As for snobby etc. ---oopsIT'S JUST COME TO ME. Yahoo! How
**** we all are! Thanks all.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Don't laugh too loud, you'll disturb everyone here. They're all asleep bar me. (I think my daughter's still awake, but she is at least in bed.)

9:59 pm

bleugirl2

Jacula, I slept through that part of science class. A little less technical???

10:00 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - ma4/9 - what you might wear over your eyes or face to disguise yourself at a ball (or in doing a robbery).

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh and Happy B-day Jac :)

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Bloody Heck!! I saw it and thought sure I had already entered it!!!

10:00 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - thanks.:-)) Twas last Sunday, as you know. I'm 49 + 7 days now!:-(

10:01 pm

bleugirl2

SH 6/33

SK 5/20

10:01 pm

Jacula

Hetty - You did it! Well done!

10:02 pm

hetty

4 red ticks! I'm so happy! Now I have ten more minutes before I turn into a pumpkin so I'll be glad to help anyone. Only my typing is slow ( I have a steadfast companion called Arthur Itis)

10:02 pm

Jacula

bleugirl - when someone gives you an actual definition you can Google it and usually get the answer.

Happy Bday -7, Jac!

10:05 pm

Jacula

Thanks, JBs.:-)

10:06 pm

JBsAnno

Busy! There was a great cartoon in the Parade magazine section of the newspaper. It's a bee answering the phone: "I'm busy."
Definitely hit my funny bone! I'm going to take it to work and enlarge it for my desk sign this week.

10:08 pm

JBsAnno

I've got 29 words left, and have to be in bed by 12:30, no later, that gives me 1.20 to: feed the cats, get my papers together, take a shower, download some mp3's (figured out how to play 'em on my Palm Pilot, YAY!, tunes for the bus ride tomorrow), and start the dishwasher. Oh yeah, and 29 words!

10:09 pm

hetty

bleugirl: ph6 requires a stick followed by a fourth vowel followed by a second vowel followed by an upside-down "w"; sh6 is what Jewish parents sometimes call the non-Jewish girl their son brings home; sl7 is a species of feline--we had one once--adorable and so smart and if you could only hear me I am singing from Disney "We are ****** if you please; s5 is the sk4 above plus a fourth vowel

10:10 pm

Jacula

Our newspapers this week have been full of the news about Labour's John Prescott's affair with his diary secretary. He is not what you call a small man nor a pin-up. The cartoon that amused me this week was of an old couple looking out onto their drive where a young woman lay completely flattened. The speech bubble went something like, 'Quick, Mavis! Call an ambulance. She's either been run over by a steamroller or had a fling with John Prescott.'

Not sure quite why it tickled me, but it did!

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Lovely song, hetty! Thanks for the memories (we had a Disney album, it was a 33.5 speed for the turntable) - my sister and I used to sing that together!

I am going to do just that Jac --

Good night all!!

Nope, Stid. Kristianna chucked a slipper when she heard me taking the Mick out of her Daddy and she's hit some poor bloke in Australia.

hi everyone - think i have enough time to start & finish by the time the puzzle closes?

10:40 pm

stidmama

Jacula -- were you in on the discussion of Marmite yesterday? I know Sherb registered as NOT liking it (I think it's pretty good) Is there anything to do with it besides put in on toast and as a base for soup?

10:40 pm

stidmama

Yes helenkeller, though it took me half a day and LOTS of help to do it listless, so I don't recommend that approach! LOL

10:42 pm

i'll be here(ish) pipe up when you want help!

10:43 pm

helenkeller

thx stid - very good to know!!

10:43 pm

Jacula

Stid - No, I wasn't in the Marmite discussion yesterday. I can register as a Marmite lover though. My boyfriend hates that stuff! Won't let me anywhere near him if I've eaten it just before trying to kiss him. LOL.

You can add it to hot water for a drink, too.

10:44 pm

helenkeller

k - i know i ought to be working on the grid, but i must ask: what the heck is this marmite?

10:45 pm

granadan

UGH - I used to adore Bovril, but then they took the beef out! Its all yeast now, same as Marmite. But co-op do one called Beefy and that makes a decent drink.

10:45 pm

stidmama

THanks. Will try that tomorrow for lunch!

10:45 pm

kristinc

ooh, just arrived, love Marmite!
Hi all!

10:47 pm

stidmama

I probably would have liked the beefy stuff too granadan, but I am unfortunately really allergic to all things "cow"...

10:47 pm

Jacula

Helen - Marmite is a yeast extract. Black, gooey, and you only need a tiny, tiny scrape of it for the taste. Any more and it's way too much.

10:48 pm

helenkeller

hk is prevented from fully concentrating on grid as she is wondering what the heck people are talking about?

10:48 pm

stidmama

hello kristinc! Did you have a lovely day?

10:49 pm

helenkeller

finally - thx jacula - i've never heard of it - there is something my parents used in cooking but i only know the polish word for it - but it sounds like what you're talking about - however, i don't recall a brand name

10:50 pm

kristinc

Hello stid and friends!
We did have a lovely day but lots of work outside so we're pooped--trying to get affairs in order so we can have a low-key summer (if there is such a thing).
And you?

10:50 pm

Jacula

Helen - Probably 'Bovril', 'Oxo' or 'Marmite'.

10:51 pm

helenkeller

ah -oxo sounds vaguely familiar

10:53 pm

stidmama

very quiet, lovely day also! Tom mowed the lawn, I babbled, the boys had spent the night at a friends, so we didn't get up too early anyway.

10:54 pm

kristinc

Good for you Stid. How old are your boys btw?

10:54 pm

stidmama

11 and 13....

10:55 pm

kristinc

then you must be a very busy lady ;)

10:56 pm

helenkeller

ok, based on stid's advice, i'm calling up the list with 84

10:56 pm

stidmama

sometimes, but better than when they were little and needed me every minute of every day!

10:57 pm

stidmama

helen you are much faster than I am! :-)

10:57 pm

helenkeller

huh - that makes 32 to go, that sounds do-able (knocking on wood)

10:57 pm

stidmama

yes, that's do- able.

10:58 pm

helenkeller

stid - i played tangleword yesterday - first time in quite a while (because of ahhhh, babble) & was pretty rusty at first, but towards end, found my groove again :)

11:00 pm

Jacula

Jc's now singing 'Knock on Wood' to herself thanks to Helen!

11:01 pm

helenkeller

lol - you gotta - knock, knock - knock on wood - uh, thanks alot jacula

11:03 pm

Jacula

You started it, Helen! LOL.

11:05 pm

Jacula

Okay, Helen, are you going to do the 32 or so you need on your own or do you want clues?

11:06 pm

helenkeller

at least it got 'kung-fu fighting' outta my head - went to my friend's daughter's ice show today & they very littlest kids wore karate-type outfits & 'skated' to that song and some other oriental sounding stuff - it was beyond cute! :))))

11:09 pm

Jacula

Grr! Kung-Fu Fighting is now going to be going through my head for a while.

Helen - May I suggest that you listen to 'Patches' by Clarence Carter. It's the most irritating song of the 70's. Sentimental, self-indulgent, and NOT what you want to listen to when your Mum bursts into your room at 7.10am and switches your radio on to get you up for school. I still hate that song and I still hate Tony Blackburn for ever playing it! LOL.

11:09 pm

helenkeller

thx jacula - i'm at 97 now, so that's 19 more, nope no need to panic yet (and besides, i have a towel)

11:10 pm

kristinc

ha 6/21 or ha 5/14 (first one)?

Okay, now I have kung fu fighting in my head helen! :)

11:10 pm

stidmama

ooooh -- not panicking, just reaching for another pan-galactic gargle-blaster...

11:10 pm

Jacula

Helen - is the towel for your forehead or to sit on? LOL.

11:11 pm

bendamalina

hello all!

11:11 pm

helenkeller

awww jacula - funny you mention that, i just heard 'patches' a few weeks ago after not hearing it for quite literally decades, how does that NOT tug at your heartstring --- patches, i'm depending on you son ....

11:11 pm

bendamalina

I'm almost finished...one more word to go.

11:11 pm

stidmama

ha 6/21: what angels (plural) wear on their heads.

11:11 pm

Jacula

ha6/21 - an alternative plural for the Angels' bright head circles.

11:12 pm

stidmama

go bendamalina!

11:12 pm

kristinc

argh! dumb unusual plurals!

11:12 pm

stidmama

ha 5/14: a type of pork product ha* + ** Gore

11:13 pm

Jacula

Helen! I'm warning you... if you sing any more of the crap song... I will beat you up. Normally, I am a peaceful person, but...

11:13 pm

helenkeller

LOL stidmama - i just read your 11:10

11:13 pm

stidmama

rockabye baby, on the tree top
when the wind blows, the cradle will rock
when the bough breaks the cradle will fall
and down will come baaaaaaaaby...
cradle -- and all!

11:14 pm

stidmama

*there there Jacula*

helen, did you know Jacula is OLD today?

11:15 pm

Jacula

AW, thanks Stid. Mind you, I've always thought that if babies understood that rhyme, they'd panic!

11:15 pm

stidmama

i think that was the point originally! ;-)

11:16 pm

bendamalina

I'm beginning to think this word doesn't exist! darn you babble....

11:16 pm

Jacula

Stid! My birthday was LAST Sunday (April 22nd) so I am 'old' + 7 days.

Waddya mean, OLD? GRR!

11:16 pm

helenkeller

that's why you always find towels very near to babies :)

11:16 pm

bendamalina

old +7 days...heh

11:17 pm

bendamalina

a very merry unbirthday to you, Jacula

11:17 pm

helenkeller

and a very happy birthday to you jacula

11:17 pm

Jacula

Lol, Helen!

11:17 pm

stidmama

oh -- I thought your birthday was today!!!!

in that case, you're decidely youthful! *grin*

11:18 pm

Jacula

Thank you Benadmalina. Another Pooh fan, I imagine?

11:18 pm

bendamalina

I always thought that was from Alice in Wonderland

11:19 pm

bendamalina

i must have my disney mixed up

11:19 pm

Jacula

Stid, may I very politely and respectfully suggest, that you shurrup and clue Helen in on her last few words.

Oh, the cheekiness of those a decade below! LOL.

11:20 pm

stidmama

yes, oh great one! Helen, can you get my foot out of my mouth again?

11:20 pm

Jacula

Bend - No, you are correct. It'a me that's wrong about he unbirthdays.

11:20 pm

kristinc

Its from Alice in Wonderland.
Happy late birthday Jacula!

11:21 pm

bendamalina

okay, babble, you've got me. I am going to have to ask these kind people for a clue....

anyone have a clue for mi6/24? I'm stumped

11:21 pm

Jacula

Thank you, Kristinc.

11:22 pm

stidmama

mi 6/24: my barb about age was mi 6/24'd... to point in the wrong direction!

11:22 pm

Jacula

mi6/24 - it happens when you point your gun or hose, or something else you want to hit something with, in thr wrong place.

11:22 pm

stidmama

benda-- if it makes you feel any better, I am not sure that's a PROPER word!

11:23 pm

bendamalina

ah-HA Got it! Thanks....

which means......

DWEEEEEEEEEEET! I am finished! WHIRRRRRRRRLLLL

11:24 pm

kristinc

yeah Benda!

11:24 pm

bendamalina

Yeah well, I could make quite a list of not-quite-proper babble words.

11:24 pm

stidmama

YAY bendamalina!

11:24 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE, BENDAMALINA.

11:25 pm

Jacula

I'm still not quite sure why the si7/32 was allowed.

11:26 pm

Jacula

That DISable dictionary sure is confusing!

11:26 pm

stidmama

I didn't know it could be NOT capitalized, but I guess that's the case...

11:26 pm

bendamalina

*dances a little jig*

Okay, anyone need a clue? I'm very good at giving oblique hints...

11:26 pm

helenkeller

sorry, don't mean to be ignoring the chat, just concentrating on finishing - 6 to go

11:27 pm

stidmama

go helen go!

11:27 pm

bendamalina

maybe because it's a kind of cat, jacula

11:27 pm

Jacula

Benda - I think the only one here not finished yet is HelenK.

11:28 pm

kristinc

ma 5/14 and 6/24? (sorry if they're easy...I still have 34 to go--not nearly as quick as hk)

11:28 pm

stidmama

bendamalina -- where are you? Jac's in the UK, Kristinc and I are on the West Coast of the Us...

11:28 pm

bendamalina

east coast of US

11:29 pm

stidmama

ma 5/14: hawaiian, it sounds like "my long-handled garden tool" -- ma + ho 4 is the ma 6...

11:29 pm

knutmeg

Hello again!

11:29 pm

Jacula

Benda - it being a kind of cat would still capitalise the word.

This is the definition that allows it: Of or being a Y-shaped dual connection between two pipes or hoses and a larger pipe or hose.

11:29 pm

stidmama

then it's pretty late for you, too! there are a lot of night owls who babble!

11:30 pm

kristinc

hi Knut!

Argh! Thanks for the clue...that's even a typical babble word...I'm so dumb!

11:30 pm

stidmama

((knutmeg! ))

11:30 pm

stidmama

*passing salmon pate' to Kristinc*

11:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Knut. Baby got you up?

11:30 pm

bendamalina

ma 6/24....goldilocks would've thought this garden tool wasn't *quite* right

11:31 pm

Jacula

I really MUST learn to memorise the time diffs over the world. I've been on the Net long enough to do so.

11:31 pm

knutmeg

Nope, Baby is actually sleeping peacefully. I'm a night owl, I work until 11:30pm tomorrow night so I need to make sure my internal clock is set right, and I haven't missed a flip in many many weeks, so why stop now? *grin*

11:33 pm

stidmama

speaking of those night owls... :-)

11:33 pm

bendamalina

I had coffee earlier...heh. which explains today. other days, i dunno...sometimes i stay up late, and sometimes I can't keep my eyes open past 10. Anyways...this is a gripping puzzle of words, of course I'm still awake to see the final conclusion.

11:33 pm

Jacula

Knut - Hello, fellow Night Owl.

11:34 pm

helenkeller

and i'm done --- thanks for all the support :)

11:34 pm

Jacula

Benda - I do that, too. 3 night up, 1 night somehwere in between, and 3 nights early.

11:35 pm

stidmama

oh -- I get it now, Jac-ula can't stand the touch of sunlight! Up all night in the dark..... do you have mirrors in your home? *anxious look*

11:35 pm

bendamalina

Oh, just saw Jacula's comment...I was second-to-last to finish! I think that's almost like being in reverse second place....

*dances another jig*

11:35 pm

kristinc

hooray helenkeller!

11:35 pm

Jacula

Well done, Helen, Hope you enjoyed it.

11:35 pm

stidmama

YAY helenkeller!

11:35 pm

knutmeg

Congratulations, helenkeller!!

Jacula--you are obviously a tried and true night owl if you're up and function at 7:30 in the morning. :-)

11:36 pm

bendamalina

congratulations helenk!

11:36 pm

kristinc

*whispers-not quite done yet...15 to go :)*
Bedamalina--not sure if we've met yet, nice to meet you. Babble is grand eh?

11:36 pm

helenkeller

ty - now, why don't all the grids go this quickly --- it's the pressure of the deadline, i think

11:37 pm

stidmama

I can't stay up late and get up early... but if I go to bed early enough (by 9), I can be up and fully awake at 5!

11:37 pm

stidmama

go kristinc go!

11:37 pm

Jacula

Stid - lots of mirrors in my house, and, guess what... I can see myself in them. Not that I always want to...

11:38 pm

bendamalina

Sure is, kristinc! I must admit, I don't do the puzzle every day, though, which is probably why we havne't met

11:38 pm

stidmama

Jacula, I am glad you have a good sense of humor! :-D

11:38 pm

Jacula

Kristinc - quick! What do you need?

11:39 pm

kristinc

I apologize, these could be obvious but...
sh 5/12 (first one) and sh 6/33 to start

11:40 pm

Jacula

sh5/12 - the abode of the dead in the Bible.

11:40 pm

bendamalina

sh6/24 is a covering for a daggar or sword

11:40 pm

stidmama

sh 6/33: sh + expression of yuckiness - c + abbreviation for south america; means a goyisha woman in yiddish, I think.

11:40 pm

Jacula

anagram of 'holes'.

11:40 pm

helenkeller

sh 6/33 = brand of razor minus the 'c' + abbr. for brazil's continent

11:40 pm

bendamalina

ehehehe...never mind, i read it wrong. apparently it's getting late for me

11:41 pm

knutmeg

I learned in college the art of functioning on a few hours of sleep. The key for me: 1 night a week I need 8 hours straight, and at least 30 minutes of shut eye every afternoon. Works like a charm. :-)

11:41 pm

kristinc

got em...thanks
don't say the 6/33 five times fast! :)

11:41 pm

Jacula

LOL, Kristinc! WELL DONE!

11:42 pm

kristinc

I'm probably running slow from that blasted kung fu fighting song in my head :)
ph 6/27?

11:42 pm

Jacula

Knut - same here, sort of.

11:43 pm

Jacula

Who the bloody hell brought that damned Carl Douglas song up again??

11:43 pm

stidmama

ph 6: ph + lo 4 (substitute an e for the second o)

11:43 pm

bendamalina

ph6/27 ....xylem and ph****, parts of a plant

11:43 pm

Jacula

Whomever it was does not deserve a clue to the ph word!

11:43 pm

kristinc

oooh...that would be me--it's stuck in my head and taking zapping my babble-strength :)

11:43 pm

helenkeller

ph 6/27 = ph + 2 letter opp. of 'high' + auntie ** from wizard of oz

11:43 pm

stidmama

it was not I, dear Jacula! (don't even know what it is...)

11:44 pm

Jacula

ph word - Pat Has Lots Of Extra Muffins.

11:44 pm

kristinc

Jac-stid's just sucking up from her earlier comments :)

11:44 pm

stidmama

you got it kristinc, do you think it will work? ;-)

11:45 pm

stidmama

now, focus! what else do you need?

11:45 pm

bendamalina

everyone...try running Jackson 5 ABC123 through your head, it works for me every time to drive out other songs, and usually dissipates rather quickly

11:45 pm

helenkeller

i love 'abc'

11:45 pm

kristinc

Jac-hysterical clue, perfect this late...thanks!

11:46 pm

helenkeller

shake it, shake it, baby, 1 - 2 - 3, baby, you & me

11:47 pm

Jacula

GRR! You girls are looking for a roasting!

I'm sticking my headphones on and I'm going to listen to Black Sabbath singing 'tell me, people, aaam I going insane? Insaaaaaaaaaaane?' LOL.

11:47 pm

bendamalina

although, i rather like the-song-whose-title-i-will-no t-mention-that-everone-else-se ems-to-be-annoyed-with, so maybe you shouldn't take my advice.

11:48 pm

helenkeller

uh jacula, we thought the answer to that would have been quite clear, lol

11:48 pm

bendamalina

hehe heh hehehehe

11:49 pm

helenkeller

which one is that bend?

and is it their hands or their feet that are 'fast as lightning' ?

11:49 pm

Jacula

Not listening! Am listening to Black Sabbath now till the flip. That way, no one can put rubbish songs in my mind. LOL.

11:49 pm

kristinc

And done!
Thanks for the help.
Jac...tomorrow I will go out in my GARDEN (got the word from you) and pick some flowers just for you to make up for my song insensitivity (though it wasn't nearly as offensive as Stid's longevity comments) :)

11:50 pm

stidmama

YAY kristinc!

11:50 pm

helenkeller

how insulting!!! rubbish!!! rubbish!!! ---these are CLASSICS of which you speak!

11:50 pm

Jacula

(((HUGS))) to you all, you rotters and nice ones.xxxx

11:50 pm

helenkeller

wtg kris !!!

11:51 pm

Jacula

Helen - Classic CRAP! Yes/

11:51 pm

Jacula

*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR KRIS*~*~*~*

11:52 pm

helenkeller

lol jacula

11:52 pm

kristinc

Hate to cheat/get clues and run but my husband is dragging me off to bed early...long day for us all. Take care all and I'll see you tomorrow with any luck.
(((((hugs)))))

11:52 pm

kristinc

ooh fireworks even with bad behavior..thanks!
okay, really going now.

11:52 pm

knutmeg

congratulations, kristenc!

11:52 pm

stidmama

good night kristinc! sleep well!

11:53 pm

Jacula

Krinstinc - re the hubby, bed, etc. ENJOY!

11:53 pm

knutmeg

And Liv is now awake, fussing her hellos. :-)

11:53 pm

stidmama

***Liv*** give many smooches for the mama without a little one anymore...

11:54 pm

Jacula

Hello, Liv. Nice to meet you.

11:54 pm

bendamalina

congratulations kristinc!

11:54 pm

knutmeg

okay, either she finds you all enjoyable, or she just is being happy now, but she's smiling so much she isn't staying all latched on. :-)

11:56 pm

bendamalina

okay, i'm going to go to a bit of work. i'll probably come back after the flip, though....freaking babble! It's addictive

11:56 pm

Jacula

Knut - Either the bright screen is distracting her or you are not focused.

When my son was feeding, I had to go to a place where there were NO distractions.

11:56 pm

stidmama

later bendamalina!

11:57 pm

knutmeg

she can't see the screen in her position, so it's probably me, or the cats trying to get into my lap, too.

11:57 pm

stidmama

that's true, as Liv gets older, she will distract more easily... try putting a blanket over her head and your shoulder and see if that helps.

11:58 pm

Jacula

Stid - I can tell you have tried to feed a child like my eldest.

11:58 pm

knutmeg

and now I have Jai (me mum) on hte phone, she says Hi! and she hopes to be home soon.

11:58 pm

stidmama

two of them -- very alert and bright -- handfuls for sure!

11:58 pm

knutmeg

blanket draped.

12:00 am

stidmama

give her my love, please, what's the news today?

12:00 am

movieman

Flip!!!!!

12:00 am

Jacula

Mine were both similar. But the first turned out to be so distracted because not only bright but also allergic to cow's milk. (The hospital nurses with their interference had mad quite certain that me and him didn't do any more than the colostrum thing re breast feeding!)

12:01 am

stidmama

flip already?
