2:59 am

FMitch

Afternoon MrP, his list still says 1 word is missing. According to knut earlier in the log it is a me5/14.

3:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. How is the grid going to behave today?

3:11 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, Happy May Day!!
Not enjoying the grid so much today :((

3:13 am

mrpresident

morning Fmitch and Haz

the missing me5/14 comes between the me4/6 and me4/5

3:13 am

Haz1558

That's what I feared at first glance. How is the weather with you? We've had hailstones this morning. My daughter is hoping to go to Belfast to cheer on some friends who are running relay legs in the marathon. It'll be a cold stand!

3:14 am

FMitch

It's been raining all night and into the morning but is starting to clear up a bit now, sun is trying to come through. Sounds like yr daughter had better wrap up warm!

3:15 am

FMitch

Thanks for that MrP

3:16 am

Haz1558

She's not the best at standing (she literally sits down to get dressed) so I'm not sure how she's going to stick it out.

3:18 am

FMitch

Im sure her friends will appreciate the support though.
Do you happen to know if it is a holiday today in France too?

3:19 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure - I wouldn't be surprised though.

3:20 am

3:37 am

judierae

I need a clue for tu4,6 please!! my last word

3:37 am

FMitch

oooh I had not, thanks as that gave me a 4 and a 5

3:38 am

Haz1558

I keep the intellectual levels high in this game, don't I?

3:38 am

KatieMcG

Morning all, thought I would have a quick go at the grid before I go and buy my tickets for the final.

3:38 am

judierae

got....never mind

3:39 am

FMitch

LOL talking of which...
juradie the word you are looking for is the "deposits" dogs leave on the pavement that we dont want to walk in.

3:41 am

judierae

3:43 am

FMitch

Congrats on finishing juradie.

3:43 am

The Student

I cannot get zy...

3:45 am

davetins

3:47 am

The Student

That must be the one de 4/6 I dont have...

3:48 am

ruthy

3:49 am

davetins

de4/6 arty period - art de??

3:49 am

The Student

AH! thanks guys!

3:49 am

Haz1558

me5/14 is a French word. To m add an anagram of the Bambi animal.

3:50 am

davetins

ruthy add a fisherman's bit of kit

3:50 am

davetins

or a scottish dance

3:53 am

ruthy

ty haz1558 and daventins

3:53 am

Haz1558

I'm sad that we can't have outre4/4. It conjures up images of Scotsmen competing to either drink themselves senseless or dance themselves to death.

3:54 am

FMitch

All those kilts!!!!!!

3:55 am

Haz1558

You wouldn't know where to look! Would Mikey know how to re4/4 do you think?

3:57 am

ruthy

4:00 am

sprite

How's the grid today?

4:00 am

Haz1558

It's not as friendly as some have been recently.

4:01 am

sprite

I found a D7 right away, so I thought all was going very well, but I see you are right! Not all that obvious today.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Cue feverish searching for a d7....

4:03 am

sprite

Eh, let me think, there is De6/27: very quiet en decent way of acting, and De7 is even more so.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Lovely, sprite, thanks - I am rejoicing having found the carriage from Oklahoma, also an English county.

4:05 am

Haz1558

Or I should say 'Oklahoma' - the musical.

4:05 am

sprite

Now you have me on the chase... :)

4:10 am

The Student

me 4/5 is killing me

4:12 am

Haz1558

The only me4/5 I have is one meaning small or slight ( also French for mother)

4:18 am

The Student

yeah I've got that one haz...

yeah I've got that one haz...

:)

4:18 am

sprite

Same here, only Me4/5. Got 2 Me4/6s though :)

I just love K-less grids.

4:19 am

trishtrash

for the other me4/5, change the last letter to a consonant.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Thanks trishtrash.

4:20 am

sprite

Yeah! That simple, hm? How blind can I be...

4:24 am

sprite

Ah, the E-color is in the grid, plus plural :)

4:26 am

Haz1558

It's a whle since it was there.

4:26 am

The Student

turns out that i had it the whole time....

4:27 am

mrpresident

(((sprite!!)))

hello!!

4:27 am

Haz1558

Well - it helped us to find it, student!

4:28 am

trishtrash

Hiya MrP! :)

4:28 am

mrpresident

trish (rubs eyes!) is that really you??

long time no see!

4:28 am

Grim-Bigyen

tu 4 6 ?
please

4:29 am

sprite

Hey mrP :) *hugs right back*

4:29 am

trishtrash

*grins* it's a time-zone thing, MrP. I spend most of my time zoned ;)

4:29 am

Haz1558

tu4/6 - nasty deposit sometimes left by dogs.

4:30 am

Grim-Bigyen

thank you haz

4:30 am

mrpresident

LOL trish! you sound just like lickety!!

4:30 am

The Student

I can't believe tu 4/6 was so hard to find.

4:30 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:31 am

sprite

Being blind for the obvious is part of this game. I hope. Or otherwise I am just stupid ;)

4:31 am

Haz1558

None of us are stupid!

4:32 am

Haz1558

Or should that be is stupid?

4:32 am

sprite

LOL!

4:33 am

mrpresident

well, i must be cause I don't know what the me5 is that lickety is missing

4:34 am

trishtrash

lol Haz, funny.

4:34 am

mrpresident

is it tu4 in french!??

4:34 am

trishtrash

I think that's the french swearword, MrP.

4:34 am

sprite

Can it be the past tense cat sound?

4:34 am

Haz1558

Yes!

4:35 am

mrpresident

Good lord!! French crap it is!!

4:35 am

sprite

But the cat doing it isn't valid :(

4:35 am

The Student

these tw's will be the end of my night.

4:36 am

Haz1558

Which don't you have?

4:38 am

The Student

tw 6/39
tw 5/22
tw6/36

4:38 am

mrpresident

stick an ending on the tw5/20

4:39 am

Haz1558

The tw6/39 is descriptive (add a letter to the preceding tw5)

4:39 am

trishtrash

the 6/39 just needs another letter after the 5/20

4:40 am

mrpresident

the other two rhyme with liar / liars

4:40 am

trishtrash

tw5/22 & plural =
tw + sometimes vowel + makes a mistake (less one consonant)

4:42 am

Grim-Bigyen

me4 6
me 4 6
me 4 5
me 5 12
me 4 5
me 5 22

One more to go. my stats board shows I need a 5 letter M, but i've been through the list and all seems correct.
any clues to what is missing please

4:42 am

Haz1558

Got to 100 and time to do other things. May day and it's bucketing! At least it gets me out of cleaning the windows....

4:42 am

The Student

Thanks guys!

Agree with sprite, I hate K grids.

4:43 am

mrpresident

grim... m5/14 - french word for crap

4:43 am

trishtrash

4:48 am

The Student

i often suffer from premature pyrotechnics pres, sadly...

4:48 am

KatieMcG

Yeah, tickets bought after some trauma, can now concentrate on the gird :)

4:48 am

mrpresident

LOL student!! sadly, it happens!

4:53 am

hydra

Anyone remember the old rhyme, Hooray hooray, the
first of May/Outdoor sex begins today? Far too wet
and cold for anything like that! Mind you, there is a
second verse which goes: But if perchance that it should rain/We all effs off indoors again!

4:55 am

The Student

The Student

ahhh not enough pres....

Anyone else watching BB here in Oz?

5:40 am

The Student

if anyone wants to help me with me 5/12 and me 5/22 fire away!

5:40 am

Eva

Good morning everyone! been hunting and lurking for a while. Not a bad puzzle. Any hints for the m7?

5:40 am

Haz1558

me5/22 is the past tense of a sound that a cat makes

5:41 am

Eva

student-do you have the past tense of what acts do for the 22?

5:41 am

Haz1558

me5/12 - a comparative for the me4/5

5:42 am

Eva

student-not only was haz quicker-but she can type so that you can actually understand the clue.

5:42 am

The Student

Eva.... Coln. Mustard... in the Observatory.... was a game involving a series of... Mu...

5:43 am

Haz1558

Eva - I'm sure he knew what you meant!

5:43 am

Eva

thanks student!

5:45 am

The Student

me 5/12?

5:46 am

Haz1558

me5/12 - more of the me4/5 meaning insignificant.

5:46 am

movieman

Good morning to y'all......

5:46 am

mrpresident

Finished!!

5:47 am

sha

thats me finished : )

5:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning movieman - and well done Mr President!

5:48 am

5:49 am

Haz1558

There are two de6/27

5:49 am

The Student

*prematurely pyrotechnics for president*

5:49 am

Haz1558

Also cu6/24

5:50 am

The Student

d7?

Im still not getting the insignificant plural me 5/12...

5:50 am

Haz1558

The strong st6/30

5:50 am

movieman

eva - st6/30=very strong.....

5:51 am

mrpresident

thanks!

now on to Desperate Housewives!!!

5:51 am

Haz1558

Student - it's not a plural, it's a comparative.

5:52 am

The Student

Thanks haz!

5:52 am

Haz1558

De6/27 - means modest and reserved. The de7 (the comparative) means more modest and reserved.

5:54 am

The Student

Thanks Haz, I should have looked for that since i has the de 6!

5:54 am

Haz1558

It's not the easiest word to say either!

5:55 am

Eva

Thanks everyone. Got the st6, but am still searching for that second de6-how about a third letter? I have the ded6.

5:55 am

Haz1558

Presumably the people on Australian BB (or any BB for that matter) are not very de6/27?

5:56 am

Eva

any hints for that second cu6? I have the dog one.

5:56 am

Haz1558

de6/27 - The next part of the word is similar to a painting done directly onto a wall.

5:56 am

Eva

what's BB?

5:57 am

The Student

ha ha.... haz, the other de 6/27?

5:57 am

Haz1558

The second cu6 is a plural for those who heal.

5:57 am

movieman

eva - BB=Big Brother.....

5:57 am

Haz1558

Eva - Big Brother.

5:57 am

Eva

have that one haz

5:58 am

Haz1558

The second de6/27 is the present tense (third person) form of the de5/16 (verb meaning to refuse)

5:58 am

Eva

well, obviously am way out of the loop. Is this a TV show?

5:59 am

Eva

that s the one I have haz.

6:00 am

Eva

so I must be missing the first de6/27. Any clues for that. The sun is shining right in my eyes, so forgive typos please.

6:00 am

The Student

I dont have that 5/16 either Haz....

Sorry to be a pain!

6:00 am

Haz1558

Eva - it's based on the idea of people being watched at all times, as in 1984 'Big Brother is watching you'. People volunteer to be together in a house, watched by cameras (and the viewing public) for weeks. They are voted out by the public and last one in wins. The term 'playing to the cameras' could have been invented for this.

6:01 am

Haz1558

de5/16 - just remove the last letter from the respectable de6

6:02 am

The Student

Okay im missing one de 4/5 - I have...

de + regarding... any help on the other, i know it'll be staring me in the face...

6:02 am

sprite

Why people want to be in a show like that is beyond me. Why people want to watch that, too. But that's just me.

6:02 am

Haz1558

student - Bambi?

6:02 am

The Student

Excellent, thanks Haz.... 14 to go...

6:03 am

Haz1558

Sprite - I'm with you!

6:03 am

mrpresident

Haz, that is a very sanitized description! I find BB repulsive and it certainly is not a 7.30pm time slot for TV... it makes me think that cockroaches have better moral values than the people on that show!

6:04 am

Eva

Thank you. Sounds truly awful!! Have to admit that I am not able to watch those kinds of shows...they give me the willies. I feel embarassed for the people and real life seems hard enough and full enough of human drama without rigging such situations. But, as they say, a chacun son gout. There's a lot of very stupid stuff on TV that I am addicted to, and al still in mourning for Buffy.

6:04 am

Eva

Thanks haz for the first de6!

6:06 am

Haz1558

Mrpresident - yes I agree that I didn't give the full flavour of just how ghastly the people are and the concept is!

6:06 am

The Student

okay i'm actually missing a de 4/6.... I have -

art de..
how to do
and sort for skin doctor

6:06 am

Eva

I think also the fact that my parents were both German-Jewish refugees gives such programs a particularly horrific edge for me.

6:07 am

sprite

I was told there is another show now, in which two wifes change places for 2 two weeks. And another one, in which there is one homosexual in a group of people and they are to make out who it is.
I think it is sick, really. Who thinks up such things? Don't they have a life of themselves?

6:07 am

amandacath

Happy May Day! Little Miss Muffet would feel right at home today, I see.

6:07 am

Haz1558

de4/6 - to decide upon the merits of something - you de4/6 something to be suitable for example.

6:07 am

mrpresident

oh Haz! they are not possibly right in their mind are they!!

And Buffy rocked!! bring back the Buff!

6:08 am

movieman

Mrp - I'll tell you something that should be brought back.........

FUTURAMA!!!!! !!!!!

6:08 am

Eva

mrp -I wrote a "eulogy" for Buffy which I'd be glad to send you if there's a way to do that.

6:09 am

The Student

*slaps head*

6:09 am

Eva

what was futurama?

6:09 am

Haz1558

The problem seems to be that people with no perceptible talent feel the need to be 'famous' and will therefore do, or say anything in order to be noticed.

6:09 am

The Student

he 6/24?

6:09 am

mrpresident

Eva, please do!! I miss her and would love to read it
My email is in my bio or on lickety's clue page (on the right)

6:10 am

Eva

he-someone who gathers the flock

6:10 am

Eva

oaky-will send it now

6:11 am

sprite

I agree, Haz. There is something distasteful about it. It's creepy, the way people like watching someone being degraded or degrading him/herself.

6:11 am

mrpresident

movieman! how goes it??

I never got into Futurama (or the Simpsons for that matter) as my favourite cartoon style character is Invader Zim!!

6:11 am

movieman

Eva - Futurama was an animated show, created by Matt Groening, who was also responsible for the phenomenon that is "The Simpsons"......

It was set in the year 3000, and concerned the adventures of a pizza delivery boy called Fry, who was accidentely cryogenically frozen, and woke up in the future.....

6:11 am

amandacath

Sprite, not to attack you for the sins of your countrymen, but Jon de Mol is behind alot of this kind of TV-garbage...

6:12 am

The Student

Thanks eva, i should have got that - those er's and ed's have made up most of my tally today.

6:13 am

movieman

Mrp - absolutely fine!!!!!

Just recovering from the celebrations after my team, Chelsea, successfully defended their Premiership title.....

6:13 am

mrpresident

amanda... and garbage it is... not the stuff on the top that you pick out and dust off and perhaps are able to salvage.... but the wet, stinky, slimy stuff that makes you gag and turn your head in disgust....

( :))

6:13 am

Haz1558

Quite a few years ago, Clive James did a programme on television around the word. He drew attention to the Japanese penchant for 'extreme' games and we thought at the time how strange it was. Now everyone is following suit. I can't bear it!

6:13 am

sprite

amanda, you are so very right. And I don't feel attacked, I think the man should be certified. He invents programs that are truly sick.

6:14 am

mrpresident

movieman... I thought of you whilst watching that!!
congratulations!! what a wonderful win!!

6:14 am

The Student

Okay - I am stuffed on that st strong clue...

6:14 am

Haz1558

Student- try inserting the distasteful tu4/6 and adding the sometimes vowel.

6:18 am

amandacath

As to all the TV-garbage, I just keep my fingers crossed that it's a fad that will at some point go away - the scary part of that is - what comes next? Just when you thought they'd reached the peak of distastefulness, someone manages to top it!

6:18 am

Haz1558

Bye Eva - have a good day!

6:18 am

Eva

mrp the buffy piece is sent.

6:18 am

mrpresident

6:21 am

The Student

re 5/16? not the one in a pond.

and

re 5/14?

6:22 am

amandacath

Which is why I refuse to watch it - even if "they" aren't monitering my personal TV viewing habits, I always feel like I've made a statement by hitting the off-button

6:22 am

Haz1558

re5/14 - to sew the bottom of something again.

6:23 am

sprite

16 = give color again
14 = seam it again

6:23 am

I always feel I have a zillion better things to do. And that's including cleaning the toilets.

6:25 am

Angelsong

morning! I am having such fun... Yesterday I went out and bought Dragon Naturally Speaking software, and now I can dictate chat I can also dictate the words in the game.

6:25 am

sprite

And that's me done for today. Any clues needed?

6:26 am

The Student

DAMNIT! My other window closed and I've lost lickedy's clues!

6:26 am

Haz1558

Well, the thing I must do now is take the dog a walk. It has stopped raining, so off we go! See you all later! And well done Sprite.

6:29 am

The Student

re 5/16 - another clue?

6:31 am

amandacath

6:33 am

Jera

Good morning, all... is lickety or MrP still around?

6:36 am

Jera

Does anyone happen to know what M word is missing from lickety's list?

6:38 am

mrpresident

6:39 am

Jera

6:41 am

mrpresident

6:42 am

Jera

Are you still here? So you got your software downloaded and everything is working good?
Sounds great :)

6:45 am

faeriekae

Happy May Day Everyone :)

6:46 am

amandacath

Student - there's a cr5/14 - "the Apostles' ..." - statement of belief or something like that

6:48 am

mrpresident

student... the he's.... h + female sheep... + all the endings you can get!!

6:49 am

amandacath

oh, sorry - the one's you listed are the ones you're looking for, right? The cr5/12 is like the cr5/14, different ending: A wicker basket, especially one used by anglers for carrying fish

6:50 am

amandacath

ce5/14 is past tense of the 4/5 right before it

6:53 am

Jera

Whew, I'm back... that was harder than I thought!

6:54 am

Jera

I was tempted to just do my naked ivy fairy for Beltane, but I like maypoles as well.

6:55 am

Jera

{{{FAERIEKAE}}}

Merry Beltane to you!

6:55 am

The Student

Thanks Pres...

Thanks amandacath... I can't get that cr one...

6:57 am

The Student

cu 6/24?

6:57 am

Jera

What are you missing Student? Perhaps I could give a fresh perspective...

6:57 am

amandacath

c + fishing equipment (rod and ...)

6:58 am

The Student

cr 5/12
cu 6/24
cu6/27
cu 5/14 not the doctor or swearing
and lickedy's missing me 5

6:59 am

Jera

cu6/24 = ones who cu45

6:59 am

Jera

Oops, sory cu4/6 I mean

7:00 am

Jera

cu6/27 = past tense of cu4/6 just above (double consonant one)

7:01 am

amandacath

I'm stuck on the cu6/24 as well - the 6/27 is ... past tense of a mangy dog?

7:01 am

Jera

there is a 3 letter word for mangy dog, double last consonant & pluralise it for your missing cu5/14

7:02 am

The Student

i cant believe i missed some of these!

Thanks Jera, all the help is appreciated!

7:02 am

Jera

Yes, amandacath!

7:04 am

ilandrah

cu 6/24 people who heal

7:05 am

The Student

cu 5/14 - I cant get it!

7:05 am

ilandrah

cu 5/14 healer

7:06 am

amandacath

*slaps head* - thx ilandrah, was going in the wrong direction - Student, go back the way you started...

7:07 am

The Student

ilandah, not the doctor one...

7:09 am

ilandrah

cu 5/14 plural mangy dog

7:12 am

ilandrah

double hooked consonant

7:17 am

The Student

cr 5/12
cu 5/14

and a me that lickedy was missing...

7:20 am

Jera

Student, do you have the plural of the mangy dog??

7:21 am

Jera

cr 5/12 rhymes with what you fish with, a rod & re4/4

7:21 am

The Student

Wait I do... mangy dog and the doctor.

whatever the other is...

7:23 am

Jera

Do you have the single consonant past tense of swearing? Sounds old english

7:25 am

The Student

yeah I do jera

7:26 am

Jera

Did my cr hint work? Give us an update on what you need...

7:27 am

The Student

Did Jera.

it's cu 5/14 - but not the doctor or the mangy dog plural.

7:28 am

amandacath

You've got them all, Student, I'm sure:
doctor
mangy doGG
shakespearean swearing

7:29 am

The Student

And me 5/14....

7:29 am

gramma

Hi, all 8)
I'm almost finished w/this grid. Now it's time to beg. What do you know about the "US" word? I'm struggling here. Help,please.

7:30 am

Jera

There are only 3 cu5/14's, sounds like you have them all!

7:30 am

Jera

us = One who lends money at interest, especially at an exorbitant or unlawfully high rate

7:31 am

Jera

me 5/14 = french swearing...

7:32 am

The Student

okay... I've got the doctor, he or she who heals. and the plural with a double hooked constinent...

7:32 am

Jera

sounds a lot like mu6/27, change second letter & drop last letter

7:33 am

Jera

I thought you said you had the Shakespeare swearing...?

7:34 am

Jera

Alas ye olde tavern twas cu5/14 with a horrible ghost!

7:34 am

The Student

I thought I did...

7:35 am

ilandrah

good clues Jera

7:35 am

Jera

Rhymes with what mean people do to bubbles...

7:35 am

gramma

TY for that clue. I've been trying to make that word, I think I have a spelling issue.

7:37 am

Jera

Babble will do that to you, gramma... I used to be a good speller until I started hanging out with all these alternate spellings...

7:38 am

The Student

Excellent cues jera, got it.... sorry!

GOT THEM ALL! DONE!

THANKS GUYS! WOOT!

7:39 am

amandacath

Am I right in assuming there are 2 me5/14's? - The one on lickety's list and the missing french one?

7:39 am

7:47 am

amandacath

YVW - I'm stuck on the me5/14 - got the french one, it's the other one that's hiding from me. Anyone?

7:54 am

Haz1558

amandacath - there is only one indicated on lickety's list - whereabouts does the other one come?

7:54 am

faeriekae

Happy May Day Rump :)

7:54 am

faeriekae

Hi Haz :)

7:55 am

Haz1558

Hello faerikae - how are you?

7:56 am

faeriekae

I'm good Haz. No complaints. Looks like another nice day. How about your self?

7:56 am

amandacath

Ok, now I'm confused. It was said in the log that the me5/14 = french manure is missing from lickety's list. There is however a me5/14 ON the list that is exactly where the french manure WOULD fit...?????

7:57 am

Haz1558

I'm fine - despite turning 48 today....

7:58 am

amandacath

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZ!!!!!!!

7:58 am

Haz1558

amanda - I think lickety realised he had missed out the word and inserted it later.

7:58 am

faeriekae

I just checked Lickeyts list and BJ's list and they are the same
me 4/6, 4/6, 5/14, 4/5, 5/12, 4/5 5/22
Is this correct?

7:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, faeriekae, that's what I've got as well. Call off the search, amandacath!

7:59 am

faeriekae

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HAZZZZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU :)

8:00 am

Good Morning Hurshy :)

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAZ!

8:01 am

Haz1558

I now have to get used to the idea of being 49. I always try to think of myself as being a year older than I am and then it doesn't come as such a shock!

8:01 am

hurshy

morning faerie :)

8:04 am

hurshy

haz - your birthday grid has everything - drama, humor, nursery rhymes... :)

8:05 am

Haz1558

AND it has the carriage from 'Oklahoma'!

8:05 am

hurshy

with a fringe on top :)

8:06 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

8:06 am

inge

Sorry to butt in. the Six to seven babblers determined there are two me 5/14, the french crap and another, which escapes me too.

8:07 am

inge

I mean the 6 am crew.

8:07 am

faeriekae

Inge there is only one me 5/14.

8:08 am

Haz1558

I have all the me s according to the grid being greyed and there's only one me5/14 there.

8:08 am

faeriekae

Inge and good morning to you dear. Did your tulips survive the cold weather we had last week? I got tired of covering my and decided to heck with it and they are fine. Thank goodness :)

8:09 am

mklein

the other me5 is the sound a cat makes, past tense

8:09 am

inge

OK. I printed Licketys list and the others claimed afterwards there should be another 5/14. But of course I bow to the ELDERS.

8:10 am

Haz1558

I think Lickety had originally left out the me5/14, but replaced it later. That's where the confusion began (and continues)

8:11 am

faeriekae

Inge is it raining at your house?

8:11 am

inge

yes, our tulips did very well. We never covered anything. Now I want to put out my flower boxes--with mini cascade geraniums, like they use in Europe. They are hard to find around here so we overwintered some in my greenthumbed husbands greenhouse.

8:12 am

inge

no rain here yet, though we need it badly

8:13 am

faeriekae

Inge those sound beautiful. Would love to see a pic when you get them up and going :)

8:13 am

Haz1558

Not a phrase often heard in Ireland....

8:14 am

faeriekae

It just started to sprinkle here so you may just get some before the day is done. I'm a couple hrs North of you but you may still see some rain.

8:14 am

faeriekae

LOL Haz

8:14 am

candy

Haz - you are from the land where it never stops raining too. I thought I was the only one

8:15 am

faeriekae

I've not planted anything outside side yet nor have I started any baskets but I'm getting very anxious to do so.

8:15 am

inge

Only 13 to go, so I shall do some house cleaning before finishing off at about noon.
I hate getting used rain from the west or north!!!! :)

8:16 am

faeriekae

LOL Inge - see ya later :)

8:16 am

Haz1558

Hello candy - I noticed from the grid yesterday that you were from Ireland. Whereabouts are you?

8:16 am

candy

North - nearest city belfast. What about you?

8:17 am

Haz1558

Ballymena - so halfway between Belfast and the North Coast.

8:17 am

candy

I'm actually 8 miles out of Ballymena

8:18 am

Haz1558

Antrim direction?

8:18 am

faeriekae

Haz - Candy ----you guys sound like your neighbors LOL

8:18 am

candy

Broughshane

8:19 am

Haz1558

That means we are about four miles apart! What are the chances?

8:19 am

candy

~What a small world!!

8:19 am

faeriekae

You are neighbors LOLOL

8:20 am

candy

We might even meet someday

8:20 am

Haz1558

How long have you been babbling?

8:20 am

hurshy

doesn't doc g provide an irish flag, haz?

8:20 am

candy

this is day 8.

8:21 am

faeriekae

Candy is addicted....8 days is all it takes :)

8:21 am

Haz1558

Dr-G certainly does provide an Irish flag for those who wish it, but since I am a British citizen, living in Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) I have opted for the Union flag.

8:22 am

Haz1558

Are you hooked, yet, Candy, or is that a silly question?

8:22 am

hurshy

is there a flag for northern ireland, different from the regular irish one?

8:22 am

candy

Hurshy its a Northern Ireland thing - you have to live here to understand it

8:23 am

Haz1558

There is the Red Hand of Ulster but it is more sectarian than I would like.

8:23 am

hurshy

hmm... can i put up the british flag just cause i WANT to be british, even though i am american? or would that be too confusing?

8:23 am

candy

Hooked is an understatement. I have hardly got any work done at all

8:23 am

faeriekae

Candy - Welcome to Babble - you are now one of us.
hahahaha

8:24 am

hurshy

interesting. i just wondered because here each state has a flag, in addition to the US one, only most people don't know what any of them look like.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Take a deep breath before you opt to be British. Do yo want high gas prices and rotten weather?

8:25 am

hurshy

i hate being hot, so yes to the weather. and i think i'd be willing to trade gas prices for the cool accent!

8:25 am

candy

Thanks faeriekae I enjoy be a 'Babbler'

8:25 am

Haz1558

Bye Candy - we'll chat again!

8:35 am

hurshy

have tea together! i want to imagine you having tea together.

8:37 am

Haz1558

The chances are we'll either know each other or know relatives/friends. Northern Ireland is a very small place. My motto is never to say anything about anyone else as you may be talking to their second cousin....

8:37 am

hurshy

lol, sounds like rhode island, where i grew up

8:44 am

hurshy

we got any weird first two letter combos like ts or tm?

8:44 am

jera - you might also like to read my guide to boxes, in my bio, then :)

9:59 am

faeriekae

Mikey just said to try him on there. Yahoo keeps disconnecting him

9:59 am

Jera

IMHO, a cu 5/14 is the weirdest

10:00 am

Jera

Did I get the w guess correct, hurshy?

10:00 am

hurshy

but of course that is from the bottom. there are no weird 4's or 6's either?

10:00 am

hurshy

no, sorry jera, i had that :)

10:00 am

Jera

He is offline according to my MSN...

10:00 am

shorty

hurshy

10:01 am

faeriekae

Yup

10:02 am

Jera

hurshy, I have read your bio... doesn't help me much. Not at all your fault, of course!

10:02 am

faeriekae

10:02 am

hurshy

ch1212

It's May! It's May! The lusty month of May, that darling month when everyone goes blissfully astray :) Sorry, couldn't resist. Happy May Day

10:07 am

Jera

Have you gone to trial yet? co5/14 & it's plural?

10:07 am

snowyowl

happy May Day to you ch1212!

10:07 am

torgone

Boy, I hope so ..

10:08 am

hurshy

yup, have those. if i were you i would have guessed cr5/12, btw - but i have that too :)

10:08 am

Jera

Greetings, ch1212! Sounds like you have the Beltane spirit as well!

10:08 am

snowyowl

hi torgone!

10:08 am

Jera

How many cr's do you have? Am I allowed to ask?

10:08 am

Jera

cr4/6?

10:09 am

hurshy

not technically jera, but now i'm getting desperate :) i have 4

10:09 am

Kenny Chuck

Good day, all! A bit overcast and windy here in New England.

10:09 am

ch1212

Well I'm half Scottish, half Irish, Jera, so I guess that fits :D Although my icon is King Kamehameha -- in Hawaii May 1 is a HUGE celebration for him, with parades and such. I lived there as a child.

10:09 am

Jera

I bet you're missing the cr4/6 then, it's a bit odd

10:10 am

hurshy

ding ding ding! 5 points jera! now you know the kind of weirdness to look for! :)

10:10 am

Jera

Greetings, Kenny Chuck! Gorgeous sunny day here in Virginia!

10:10 am

hurshy

that leaves H, W, and 2 T - 3 5's and a 6, so perhaps my t's are a 5/6 combo - wouldn't that be nice...

10:11 am

snowyowl

Hi kenny -overcast & cold here -but we're usedto it now!

10:11 am

hurshy

oh, kenny, a fellow new englander - whereabouts?

10:12 am

Kenny Chuck

SE Mass, near The Cape, Hurshy...you?

10:12 am

hurshy

western CT

10:13 am

GingerUK

I'm interested to know how people tackle the grids... alphabetical order? what you can spy? grid order (for those with stats especially? come on, what's your secrets!!! :-)

10:13 am

Jera

Yay!! 5 points!! Fun game (now that I have success)!

10:13 am

Kenny Chuck

Hurshy, don't know in western CT, but here it has been unquestionably the nicest April weather-wise in years and years...

10:13 am

Jera

So what are you missing now, hurshy?

10:14 am

hurshy

i look for as many as i can just see until i have at least half, ginger, then i look at the stats panel and see what letters i need and try to find those, and then when i have 20 left or so (depending on size of grid) i open the log and see if i can get clues or get people to play GWHIM

10:14 am

Kenny Chuck

Any help anyone on the TW's? I've got the fabric and also how precious it looks, but stuck on the other 3...

10:14 am

Jera

Never mind, I saw your update...

10:14 am

hurshy

10 points to kenny! i am thus missing two tw's!

10:15 am

hurshy

and an H and a W, jera :)

10:15 am

Jera

Do you have he4/6?

10:15 am

Kenny Chuck

Ginger, very much like Hurshy's process. I find as many words as I can without taking forever or losing my vision and when I have exhausted my first take (today, it was at 80), I open Lickety's Clues, check the log, and ask for specifics.

10:15 am

ch1212

Ginger, I start in one spot and exhaust everything I can think of, then move on. By the time I'm done with that approach, I have around 60% of the words. Then I 'troll' for clues in the log, and even one clue will set me in a new direction for a bunch more words. For the last 15-20% I use the lists, and I ALWAYS have to ask for help on anywhere from 1 - 5 words ... It's a group effort, believe me.

10:15 am

hurshy

i have 3 of them, jera :)

10:16 am

Jera

Kenny there is a tw 5 & 6 combo that sounds like someone talking with a lisp who attempts to do something

10:16 am

Kenny Chuck

I don't know if I'm the champ at GWHIM, but I have to be Top 5...*honing acceptance speech, pressing tux*

10:16 am

snowyowl

Ginger - I have no method at all! I scrutinise the grid, trawl the log, ask for clues and when I'm cornered & exhausted I give in & get the list!

10:16 am

Jera

Do you have he5/14?

10:16 am

GingerUK

thanks for answering Hurshy... I have been experimenting with approaches... starting with 'I spy' then grid but I nearly always end up alphabetic. I try not to read the log until I am really stuck!!!

10:17 am

hurshy

5 points, jera!

10:17 am

sherb

Happy May Day everyone!! :)

10:17 am

hurshy

so now i need a w5

10:17 am

Jera

Whoo-hoo! I got 10 points now!!

*makes up a new dance to use while playing WIHM*

10:18 am

snowyowl

Happy May day sherb! Pretty icon

10:19 am

Jera

10:19 am

sherb

10:19 am

10:20 am

Jera

Happy May Day, sherb & thanks! I am a bit manic today...

10:20 am

Kenny Chuck

*putting away tux...sending acceptance speech to Jera...pouting*

10:20 am

snowyowl

They're grest aren't they! I LOVE Morris Dancers - I like anything that makes a smile!

10:20 am

hurshy

i think you've got the hang of it now, jera :) when you started you were guessing easy words, now you know to guess the weirdos :)

10:21 am

hurshy

kenny - there's hope for you yet - 1000 points go to the guesser of the last word every day!

10:21 am

Jera

Whoo-hoo! Did I win for today? Do I get Kenny's trophy? Is the game over when you finish the day's grid or does it continue forever?

10:21 am

hurshy

the game is over until tomorrow. :)

10:21 am

sherb

hi ch1212 !! :D

10:22 am

hurshy

if you want to know your lifetime score you must keep track of your own points. bex has 1035, i know, she told me. ;)

10:22 am

Jera

So I start over at zero next time I play or do I keep up with my 1015 points?

10:23 am

Jera

LOL, thanks!

10:23 am

hurshy

you can keep your points. but as i said, i don't keep track of them, so if you want to know how you are doing relative to others, you have to ask around. (although i don't think that many people are keeping track)

10:24 am

Angela

Congrats Hursh - still have 59 to go, I knew I wouldn't be able to help today :)

10:24 am

ExWren

Thank you for your help, abe79,snowyowl and hurshy.
I had to leave just after my request for help, and have only just got back.
Thanks to you, I have now finished!!

10:24 am

Kenny Chuck

That's OK, jera. I have trophies for other games you don't even know about *stomping foot, dipping pigtail in ink*

10:24 am

hurshy

'sok angela *sings* there's always tomorrow for dreams to come true...

10:24 am

Jera

ch1212... I was reading back through the chat & saw where you spoke of King Kamehameha... I wonder why today is a holiday since his day isn't until June 11th?

10:25 am

jeffer

hello all
need a clue for each ...
first re 5/16
re 5/14 please

10:25 am

Kenny Chuck

I am quite certain that I now have 1,036.

10:25 am

hurshy

to color again
to sew bottom of skirt again

10:26 am

hurshy

hmmm, how odd kenny - i don't often give out less than 5 at a time...

10:26 am

Kenny Chuck

Yeah, well...hurshy...new math.

10:27 am

LeslieAnn

ooh there are points to gwhim now? how exciting.

10:27 am

snowyowl

congrats Ex Wren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:27 am

Kenny Chuck

*S*

10:27 am

Jera

*singsong*

Kenny's tryin' to cheeeeat... Kenny's tryin' to cheeeeat!

10:27 am

ch1212

I don't know, Jera -- Just know that there is a huge celebration in Hawaii on May 1 in his honor. When I lived there the queen was still alive (though abdicated of course) and she rode in the parade every year. We got out of school for the day, and even our small town of Kailua celebrated with festivities.

10:27 am

hurshy

but bex's is assuredly not the top score anyway, so... i'd talk to macuser, maybe - i think she has a lot....

10:27 am

Kenny Chuck

Still working on that lisp clue for TW and can not thee it.

10:27 am

hurshy

leslie - there have always been points, you didn't notice?

10:27 am

LeslieAnn

do i get back points for previous puzzles or is everyone starting anew?

10:28 am

LeslieAnn

really? huh.

10:28 am

hurshy

kenny - it rhymes with a tool that you use to grip things and bend them

10:28 am

Kenny Chuck

I'm not trying to cheat, Jera...I am cheating...and doing it well. *S*

10:28 am

LeslieAnn

well, now that it's a completition, i'm interested :)

10:28 am

hurshy

leslie - you can keep your points, but you must keep track of your own running score

10:29 am

movieman

I have decided that for each day I play Babble, my icon shall be a representation of a celebrity who's birthday it is.....

That's why my icon today is of Patsy Stone, aka the wonderfully talented Joanna Lumley....

10:29 am

LeslieAnn

done and done. does anyone have the u word?

10:29 am

Kenny Chuck

I have 1,036, Leslie and I'm very very good at it.

10:29 am

hurshy

hmmm... this could get ugly... perhaps i SHOULD keep track of people's scores. however, i don't know how many people have already earned!

10:29 am

ch1212

Jera, I just googled it, and it comes up two ways -- King Kamehameha Day and then "Lei Day" which I've never heard of and suspect some tourist bureau thought it up, since tourists didn't know or care much about the King (as a generalized statement) :)

10:30 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, think i'll save your 10:28 comment and bring it back to haunt you whenever you're in the lead, kenny ;)

10:30 am

hurshy

the u word is a person who loans money for interest (or exorbitant interest)

10:30 am

jeffer

got the skirt, hurshy ty
what about the color?

10:30 am

Jera

I was just about to say it's Lei Day & maybe he's just there since he is so important!

10:30 am

snowyowl

Has anyone a clue for the co6/33 please? I have just photocopied 100s of things for my meeting and my head is too full of the clicks of the printer to think anymore!!!

10:30 am

hurshy

to color again like...like to color fabric or a pair of shoes

10:30 am

jeffer

o got that one too hurshy!

10:31 am

Kenny Chuck

*lining up fish* Hurshy, thank you...but I thtill can't thee it!!!!!

10:31 am

snowyowl

hi movieman & jeffer

10:31 am

Jera

co6/33 will make you laugh

10:31 am

ch1212

That could be, but I remember hearing all about the royal history, studying it in school and how his lineage was, and we had to learn about Captain Cook and all that just before the big day. OH well, it's MAY! It's May! The lusty month of May! It's here!

10:32 am

hurshy

kenny - also rhymes with things that burn

10:32 am

Kenny Chuck

Snowy...as Joanna Lumley herself would say, "Dying is easy, ******'s hard."

10:32 am

hurshy

or people who tell untruths *ahem*

10:32 am

Jera

Kenny... wrong kind of lisp... not an s lisp, but an r lisp

10:33 am

Vicuna

Kenny Chuck, imagine Elmer Fudd attempting to catch Bugs Bunny. He would say "I tw-- and tw--" So he would be a tw---.

10:33 am

10:33 am

hurshy

morning charm, vicuna. vi - any progress on the AIM front?

10:33 am

Jera

Very carefully, snowy?

Kenny Chuck

YAY!!! Vicuna and Hurshy, thank you BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!

10:34 am

snowyowl

10:34 am

Charm

I have a few minutes at the moment, and need help with the ME5/14, please!

10:35 am

snowyowl

Hi Charm

10:35 am

Vicuna

Morning, all.
Yup, I've got myself an account last week. "Vicuna" was taken so I had to resort to being "Vycuna" instead. But I had this open studio show this weekend and haven't been on-line in three or four days. Tragic, eh!

10:35 am

Charm

Hey, snowy. what's going on?

10:36 am

Jera

me5/14 is French cussing... sounds like mu6/27, but with different 1st vowel & leave off last letter

10:36 am

hurshy

me 5/14 french swear

10:36 am

hurshy

ok vi, i have added you to my buddy list! :)

10:37 am

Charm

thanks, Jera! If I should ever need to curse at a frenchman....
=8-)

10:37 am

Judi

Morning, all. Happy May Day.

10:37 am

hurshy

morning, judi

10:37 am

snowyowl

not a lot thats exciting charm! Grumpy husband, too many things to do and not enough time to do them! LOL

10:38 am

Charm

Anything on the ST6/30, please?

10:38 am

sherb

Happy May Day Judi :)

10:38 am

Vicuna

Yay, a buddy! :) I put you on mine, too.

10:38 am

hurshy

but you aren't on now, correct?

10:38 am

Charm

Snowy, that sounds pretty normal! Just add a whiny 3yo....

10:38 am

hurshy

st 6/30 - stable, strong

10:38 am

Vicuna

No, I'm not, but give me a sec...

10:40 am

Charm

Hurshy, thanks! Unfortunately, that's an adj. that's been used for me once too often. lol

10:40 am

snowyowl

LOL Charm - just sent 3 littlies home to their mum! The 59 yr old is a much more practised whiner! I was hoping she'd send them back & keep him!

10:41 am

Jera

I'm back... I was tidying up my Babble chart & recording my WIHM points!

10:43 am

Charm

Snowy, how Do you stop that whining? I've tried interrupting it, walking away from it, but it just comes back at triple strength like something out of a bad horror movie.

10:44 am

hurshy

hmmm... maybe i will have to read the logs since the inception of the game and make a database - if there are going to be cheaters like kenny around :)

10:44 am

LeslieAnn

that seems like too much work hurshy.... you could just start over and give bonus points to those who kept track

10:45 am

hurshy

leslie - i do so like to do things right, though. and i have time on my hands. not today, perhaps, but i often have time on my hands. :)

10:47 am

Jera

I have a sign in my car that says "No Whining Zone" Can't handle it when I drive, especially around here!

10:47 am

snowyowl

Don't I know it!! Thing is I have more timethan a parent now to organise things - like I do no house work when they are here! I used to try a new activity when the whining started big time with mine. Generally something wet or messy in a bowl! Like washing up plastic dishes or making flour paste. Distraction is always the best way I think.

10:48 am

Charm

Snowy, I've tried that, but mine seems to have an industrial strength memory which just returns to the whine topic as soon as the distraction is over! Do they outgrow that????

10:48 am

karenth

hello everyone happy mayday are we dancing round the pole?

10:49 am

LeslieAnn

karen is that your cat? soooo cute!

10:49 am

Thanks for the help everyone. Good luck babbling. See y'all later.

Haz1558

That's good.

12:31 pm

scatty

stid, who started nights after maternity leave, can't remember

12:31 pm

stidmama

i ended up staying awake until midnight (not a good idea for me since I am not a night owl) and slept until the dogs dragged me out of bed at nine -- so I am still not quiet awake yet.

12:31 pm

stidmama

knutmeg starts today, working the late shift, but will be home in time for the flip most nights.

lynxxx, I am a morning person by nature, but my beloved Tom is not.... since I can nap during the day, I stay awake for him and sleep late when I can. my favorite thing to do is wake up an hour before sunrise and go outside while it's still quiet, and listen to the world wake up. Magic!

12:35 pm

Jacula

Oops! I forgot I was in here. I've been away typing a quiz up for a friend.

1:55 pm

krausbrew

Congratulations!

1:56 pm

AngelSong Thank you so much
i missed it big time

1:57 pm

krausbrew

btw, I'm headed to South America in June. Doubt I'll get to the Andes this trip, though.

2:00 pm

Vicuna

Well, if you do see any of my relatives down there, say "Hello!" lol

2:01 pm

Layne

I can't believe the Z word is in this puzzle! It's what I listened to all weekend, live onstage, at a festival here in Lafayette, Louisiana . . . Laissez les bons temps rouler, y'all!

2:02 pm

tndaisy1960

lol Layne...I just did that one...my son lived in La for many years:)

2:03 pm

Layne

TnDaisy, I hope you got a chance to sample some of the good life here!

2:05 pm

tndaisy1960

*sigh* probably not...he's moved back to SC now...only goes back to La to take care of legal issues and see my grandson, when that witch will let him...

2:06 pm

Layne

TNDaisy, that must be the hardest --

2:07 pm

tndaisy1960

It is...but he has a good job now, making beaucoup $$$...and cant afford to move back there. He had a hard time getting situated after Katrina

2:09 pm

Layne

Oh TNDaisy, so sorry he was among the hurricane-dispersed. Tough times -- Louisiana's still crying, for itself and for those like your son who won't be coming back.

2:11 pm

tndaisy1960

I know...but he's not from there originally, just has an aunt down that way...most of his folks are in SC, so it really didnt' hit him as hard as the others...he lost some of his stuff but he wasn't too worried over that...the baby got out ok and that's all that really mattered.

2:12 pm

Layne

Glad to hear it, and glad he's doing well!

2:14 pm

tndaisy1960

lol He must be; I haven't heard from him in a while...guess his job and his g/f are keeping him pretty well occupied...and being a good mama, I'm not gonna bother him. He knows where I am if he wants anything. His little sister is jealous of the g/f, says that's what's keeping him from calling...but she's only 15...she doesn't know what real life is like yet.

2:21 pm

sandr

i have the news on ----
i look at all these marchers & i think of all the tax dollars this country is missing out on --
i wonder what's prevented all these many people from becoming citizens --
i am really glad it has all been peaceful

4:05 pm

faeriekae

Helen-don't get me started on that. If they want to live in the US and PAY TAXES like the rest of us then they need to have green cards or stay the hell in Mexico.

4:06 pm

lynxxx

4 to go but quite stuck on ... CE6.24, CU5.14 & 6.24(the first ones) and CU4.6 probably the last one (I have the one that is short)..any clues pls.

4:06 pm

helenkeller

faeri - i agree with that - but i sincerely wonder why so many people have refused to become citizens & why this problem has gotten so out of hand

4:06 pm

faeriekae

With out being Citizens they do not pay State or Federal Taxes and that burns me up.

4:07 pm

stidmama

YAY rumple ( I know she's gone already...) Hi Shorty! Hi Capone! lunchtime!

4:07 pm

RIGHT ON FAERIE

4:07 pm

stidmama

stepping out again -- not going to talk politics today! see you later! :-)

4:08 pm

helenkeller

ce 6/24 = plural of ce 5/14
ce 5/14 = ce + *** (spelled backwards), white & blue!!!

4:08 pm

helenkeller

but stid - this is the day for political conversation

4:08 pm

evanonut

and the effontry doesn't stop there

4:09 pm

faeriekae

Because the US has never tried stopping them from comeing in in the past and now that we are looking at possibly putting up a fence/wall they are pissed. But they can study for thier citizenship just like many friends of mine have and pay taxes just like the rest of us if they chose to but it is clear they would rather live off the rest of us Tax payers.

4:09 pm

CadFan

I bet the protests won't stay peaceful for long - demonstrators have completely blocked Northbound traffic at the San Ysidro border - people are going to start losing their tempers there and someone is bound to get hurt.

4:10 pm

helenkeller

faerie - what also bothers me is that without becoming citizens there is little or no incentive to learn the english language - which, whether you like it or not, is the necessary common bond for success in this melting pot

4:10 pm

evanonut

yes, well, it plays in our favor if they cause trouble

4:10 pm

lynxxx

TY for the CE Helen - the rest were CUs

4:10 pm

evanonut

and speak english - you can talk spanish too, but learn friggin english!

4:11 pm

faeriekae

CadFan - your right-It won't be peaceful much longer you can see it coming

4:11 pm

faeriekae

Amen Evan - learn the friggin languge if you want to be an American Citizen

4:12 pm

helenkeller

i don't understand why there has not yet been an amendment to have a national language (at least start with one - switzerland has 4 national langues!!!)

4:12 pm

helenkeller

lynxxxx - i am not done yet, but which cu's were the ones you needed?

4:13 pm

faeriekae

Good Point HelenK - Instead in alot of the very Southern states Spanish is like the second language and it really shouldn't be.

4:14 pm

helenkeller

my parents came here after ww II & learned english & became citizens, but they valued their heritage, so i did not learn to speak english until i went to school at age 4 - i believe they were very wise in that approach

4:14 pm

lynxxx

Thanks Helen - Just need the CU 5.14 & 6.24 - (the first 5.14 after makes better. TY again

4:15 pm

wurdygurl

If they move here and pay taxes why do they have to learn english? Why don't we learn spanish. America is the only country where we only speak one language.

4:15 pm

shutterbug

I am learning to speak spanish.

4:16 pm

evanonut

no, we speak two, but one should be official - this country was founded in english dangit

4:16 pm

faeriekae

I have close Mexican friends who came here from Mexico and they also speak Spanish but they did learn English and got the Citizenship and are very good people. And that is the way it should be.

4:16 pm

helenkeller

faeri - what really bothers me is that it seems like an overly obvious ploy to maintain the latino busboy & gardener workforce - it does not play in their favor to have everything in 2 languages - again, no incentive to learn the language of higher education & boardrooms

4:17 pm

wurdygurl

what two languages do we speak?

4:17 pm

CadFan

I have no doubt that many of those here illegally are also good people - and surely many of them speak English however.. they are here illegally and that is the issue. IMO

4:18 pm

helenkeller

wurdy - why pick spanish? why not polish? or russian? or philipino? seriously, why favor the latinos? and no, it is not a numbers thing, don't say because there are more of them

4:18 pm

bonkler

america has a lot worse problems than people trying to make their lives better. i'm still shocked the streets aren't filled with english speaking americans calling for the impeachment of a corrupt and incompetent administration. with a full host of prosecutions for war crimes and a laundry list of other charges.

4:18 pm

faeriekae

Shutterbug that is excellent and it is good to be multilingual (or how ever you spell it) Especially if you travel abroad. I would love to be able to speak Spanish just for when I visit Mexico.

4:18 pm

evanonut

yes, the law is the law. it's fine to want to be here, but if you want to be here, be here on our terms.

4:19 pm

evanonut

wurdy, as there is no official language, we technically speak them all.

4:19 pm

helenkeller

i agree evan !!!

4:20 pm

stidmama

i am going to say my piece, helen then, and then I am going to log out of babble until tomorrow. :-(

The reason so many people (primarily it seems hispanic but not exclusively) are here illegally is because the US doesn't issue visas readily to people who are migrants and poor. But companies prefer to hire people they can convince have no rights -- whether benefits, safe working conditions, or even the pay they were promised. The people companies can most easily exploit are those who have little knowledge of their rights-- those who speak little English and are convinced they will be put in jail if they report abuses. People who have entered illegally, faeriekae are NOT eligible for citizenship, or even for permanent resident status -- no matter how long they have been here, no matter the reason they came, no matter the citizenship status of their children. And MANY of them do pay taxes, without being able to access the benefits citizens and green card holders can.

4:20 pm

stidmama

Meantime, comfortable US citizens eat the food the migrants harvest, sleep in hotels cleaned by them, wear clothes made by them, and shop at stores that sell goods from other countries where the minimum wage makes even migrant workers here look well off!

4:20 pm

faeriekae

I agree 100% Evan

4:20 pm

wurdygurl

IMO it is not a good thing to be egocentric. Mexico is a bordering country. As such, there is apt to be (and obviously is) cross over. Just like in Canada where they speak both english and French. Just like the European countries that speak a multitude of languages.

4:20 pm

helenkeller

bonk - you make an excellent point - this country spreads itself too thin & does not nearly enough to take care of it's own ---- it's one thing to raise an army to protect against an invasion, it is another thing to be the invaders

4:21 pm

evanonut

stid, those are problems that need to be addressed by the mexican government, not ours. we are not the worlds babysitter.

4:23 pm

wurdygurl

No we are not the worlds babysitter. However, when we have companies going to Mexico so they can get cheaper labor, it becomes our issue. If we allow immigrant workers the oppourtunity to earn a fair wage, then the cheap labor that American companies get overseas will slow down and hopefully hald.

4:23 pm

faeriekae

Then the Mexican/Spanish folks need to become US Citizens...Period and PAY TAXES

4:24 pm

evanonut

nafta - i didn't write it

4:24 pm

faeriekae

I'm going to hush now before I make someone mad.
going into lurk mode*

4:26 pm

wurdygurl

didn't say you did. Just commenting on your comment about issues needing to be addressed by the Mexican government and how they are not our problem.

4:26 pm

Lord Blam

Interestingly, illegal immigrants paid $7 billion in social security taxes, per a NY Times article from April 5, 2005 which is easily googled. And since they by definition get no benefits from those payments, they are pure charity to the American-born eldery.

4:26 pm

evanonut

all i'm really saying is that we can't fix it all on our own, it's mexico's problem too.

4:27 pm

helenkeller

stid - i see your points, i understand the inequity of it all, however, it would be your arguements i would use as to why it is finallyl necessary to make some enforceable laws about immigration ---

i have another problem with all this -- people are saying these illegal immigrants just want to provide a better life for their families, yes i see that, but when they take american dollars back to their countries of origin, they continue the inequities there, where they live like kings compared to the folks who couldn't/wouldn't come here to make money
--- i don't believe is will see a world union (based on the european model) in my lifetime - that is a true shame -- global communication is lightyears ahead of a global economy

4:27 pm

evanonut

we have a military spread so thin you can see through it.

4:27 pm

Lord Blam

How is this Mexico's problem? Sounds like they are benefiting from this arrangement in several ways.

4:28 pm

evanonut

btw, isn't it illegal for an american to work in mexico by mexican law? just a little tidbit i remember hearing.

4:29 pm

wurdygurl

what does the military have to do with immigration? and language?

4:29 pm

helenkeller

blam - then i sincerely thank them for those bucks, as i probably won't be able to cash in my own investments into ss, since it'll pretty much be bone dry by the time i hit retirement age

4:30 pm

helenkeller

wurdy - evan refers to other issues of serious, yet unaddressed, interest to the us government

4:31 pm

helenkeller

evan - LOL at your 4:24

4:31 pm

evanonut

yet related helen, patrolling the border seems like it should be a military issue...it is what other governments use for their borders.

4:31 pm

wurdygurl

well, that is another issue completely and I caould go on and on about that one too. But let's savbe that for another day. lol

4:32 pm

evanonut

thanks helen, i was a kid then, and still i could figure out it was a bad thing.

4:32 pm

stidmama

Though most of my family has been in North America for 400 years, I also know the struggles of my more recent immigrant-ancestors who came in the 1800s and the one who arrived last century. I know that every generation has a favorite scape-goat for any and every economic and social ill -- generally the most recent or largest wave of immigrants at the time. When will we learn? All of this sounds very much like the things Hitler and his cronies said in the 20s and 30s... when we start labeling people as "legal" and "illegal" it is a small step to labeling some as not worthy of the same basic rights.

4:32 pm

helenkeller

lynxxx - sorry, i get caught up in the discussion -- btw, i have not yet called up lickety's list & i only have the make better cu's, sorry to be of no help

4:32 pm

evanonut

i like you wurdy - i love a strongly opinionated arguement, just so you don't think bad things about me.

4:33 pm

wurdygurl

oh Evan - I like you too. I love having interesting and logical conversations.

4:33 pm

evanonut

i think the hitler comparison is a bit of a leap.

4:34 pm

stidmama

i need to go now -- my meds are not strong enough for sustained conversations of this nature... but I thank you all for listening, and will read more of the conversation this evening when Tom is here and can help me. May you all have a blessed and peaceful afternoon/evening with enough to eat and a comfortable bed to sleep in.

4:34 pm

Luther F.

Oh sacred babble grids, how i have miss thee

4:34 pm

evanonut

bye stiddy

4:35 pm

wurdygurl

:my meds are not strong enough..." LOL that was funny!

4:35 pm

evanonut

hitler was evil, we just want a few rules followed. hitler killed, we deport. not bad comparison - it must be the meds.

4:37 pm

evanonut

i mean bad comparison, not not bad :-)

4:39 pm

helenkeller

stid - as the adult child of 2 concentration camp survivors & someone who's read mein kampf and the rise & fall of the third reich - i cannot even begin to undertand where you see any similarities with hitler

4:40 pm

helenkeller

k stid - take care, see ya later - i may go find some meds myself now, :)

4:42 pm

helenkeller

i do so enjoy discussions like these - even though i have my own strong opinions, i always like to hear other perspectives & review my positions in light of things i may not have known or thought of - thanks e1

4:48 pm

shutterbug

is the Z used more than once?

4:50 pm

evanonut

that was fun!
we should all argue more.

4:51 pm

helenkeller

i agree evan !!!

4:51 pm

helenkeller

shutt - i don't know, i haven't used the z once yet, :)

4:51 pm

bbnaz

Only once Shutterbug

4:52 pm

evanonut

my husband hates to argue, half my fun right out the window

4:53 pm

kaurie

I don't want to speak for stid, but I think I understand what the concern she was conveying is- putting people into groups can often start the beginnings of an 'us' and a 'them.' Sadly, that can sometimes lead to a you are 'them' and therefore shouldn't have the same things as 'us' mentality. I think Hitler is just an easy example of separation taken to extremes, where 'they' become inferior to 'us'. To make stid feel a little better- I don't think that is where this is headed, I think people are welcoming, they just wanted everyone to be treated the same and obide by the same rules, in some ways, to avoid having an us and a them. =) And that may have made no sense and there fore contributed nothing to increased understanding!

4:55 pm

wurdygurl

I hear you evan - my husband hates talking about this stuff. I find it fun and invigorating

4:56 pm

helenkeller

kaur - on the contrary, you make perfect sense - it's just the mention of hitler tends to immediately take some people to places far away from the topic at hand & the thread of the arguement becomes lost - thx

4:56 pm

bbnaz

Let's face it, the balkanization of the United States is well on its way. I cannot stand hyphenated ethnicity. You are an American or you are not. If you are an "African American" and you go live in Africa, do you become an "African American African"? Or insert any other country of origin, then add the country to the end. How utterly ridiculous.

See you all at the flip.

God Bless America!

4:57 pm

helenkeller

exactly bbnaz!

4:57 pm

wurdygurl

depends bb - do they get citizenship in their new country?

4:58 pm

bbnaz

Any Brits on the board right now? Ask one of them how the UK feels about illegal immigration or New Zealand or France........or just about any place you go.

4:58 pm

tarajane

he 5/14?

4:58 pm

bbnaz

Say they do Wurdy....don't you find the identifying phrase to be a bit unwieldy?

4:59 pm

bbnaz

the last name of the actor who played napolean dynomite for the HE5,14

4:59 pm

wurdygurl

I do...but (you knew tht was coming lol) the reason African American is used is because of heritage. Just like Native American

5:00 pm

helenkeller

i don't see why blacks get to be african-american & i have to be stuck with caucasian & not european-american - caucasian is not even an ethnicity

5:01 pm

bbnaz

And I take umbrage with the term "Native American". My family has been here for over 15 generations...at what point to I become considered a "native"? And where is the anthropological proof of origination of any human species here in the Americas?

5:01 pm

boreetos

hi kids.

5:01 pm

wurdygurl

Blacks get to be African American because that is what they are. Their ancestors had no choice in coming here. They were kidnapped and their names were changed. Now they live here, but who knows(they certainly don't) where their lives would have been if they weren't kidnapped

5:01 pm

boreetos

you go helenkeller, you tell it how it is!

5:02 pm

bbnaz

Tara, did that help?

If not then HE + fourth letter of alphabet + second vowel + the letter before "s"

5:02 pm

helenkeller

hk loves boreetos :)

5:03 pm

boreetos

not all african americans were ever in or have ever been to Africa. I'm not from Europe, nor have I been there yet, but my ancestry is. I'm only a third generation american. A lot of African Americans have been here a lot longer than that.

5:03 pm

wurdygurl

you cannot be serious. Native americans were here. they were called indians when america was discovered by columbus. You know this don't you? And Native americans get to be called that because they were native to this land. Before it was stolen from them.

5:03 pm

boreetos

but still, as HK said, we're stuck with an outdated term that doesn't really mean anything.

5:04 pm

CadFan

I believe the point was that, anthropologically, Native Americans did not begin here - they migrated here from elsewhere.

5:05 pm

wurdygurl

I think it means alot to the people that adhere to it. I know that I take alot of pride in my Native american ancestory.

5:05 pm

helenkeller

uh wurdy - the indians are no more native to this land than anyone else - if they didn't cross over the russian isthmus, then they came on kon-tiki-type boats from across the pacific - i'm pretty sure that's where the research stands now

5:05 pm

boreetos

wurdy, that's a good point. Columbus was an idiot. He didn't know where he was or what the heck he was doing. But the fact remains that I am by all intents and purposes a "Native American". Because I was born here.

5:05 pm

bbnaz

Well I was born here and have lived in the southwest all of my life. I know of no evidence that shows that any of the "indigenous" people originated here, rather most anthropological evidence shows them migrating across the bering strait. As it is, it is not an argument that will be won or lost here on babble.

and I always check "native american" on my census as if you look up the definition of "native" in a dictionary, I more than fit into that description.

5:06 pm

bonkler

as an illustration, i am the child of immigrants. my family is british. in highschool, my friend wan was hassled constantly by the local bigot boys and idiots. wan got pushed around until one day he snapped and smacked this one guy right across the mouth.

the simpleton's most popular racist quip was, " go back to chinkland" and the ever popular "gook" (it was the 70s and we learned a lot from american tv). me, i never had a moment of hassle because i looked right. wan's family had immigrated here to canada in the mid to late 1800s, to build the railroad, canada's national dream. he was a fifth or sixth generaqtion canadian.

5:06 pm

helenkeller

lol bbnaz - i really like that census form approach :)

5:06 pm

boreetos

its true. Most people in the know that all human life originated in Africa anyway, and that life branched out from there. and if you buy into Christian Dogma, all people derived from the very same couple.

5:08 pm

evanonut

bonkler, excellent point

5:09 pm

evanonut

boreetos, makes the whole existence thing kind of incestuous doesn't it?

5:10 pm

Layne

Someone said that without becoming citizens, there's no incentive for learning English. I beg to differ, respectfully. Have you ever travelled in a country where you couldn't speak the language? Immigrants try to learn English, if for no reason other than so they can find out where the bathroom is and how much the hamburger costs. That said, it is much harder for adults to learn a new language than it is for a young person.

5:11 pm

shorty

you know this is point less to go on and on about this everyone has there own opionion so why dont you just drop it this could go on forever

5:11 pm

boreetos

i dont really see why labeling everyone matters anyway. Take a look at John Lennon's writings. He had the right idea. He imagined a world with no race boundries and no religeon, one in which everyone would live in harmony and not quibble over beliefs and physical differences.

5:11 pm

helenkeller

national geographic has had an on-going study called the genographic project - purpose is to study history of human migration --- check out the web site - it's fascinating!!!!
-once in a while, the pbs channel will air a 2 hour program on it, i strongly suggest watching it if you ever have a chance

5:11 pm

evanonut

it's fun, and layne has i point...maybe they're just pretending not to know the language to annoy us.

5:13 pm

Layne

Or, evan, maybe they're working too many hours and don't have time to study and mull over how to conjugate "to be."

5:13 pm

Layne

And it IS fun.

5:13 pm

evanonut

a favorite story of my friends about her daughter goes like this: they were visiting the statue of liberty and there was a large number of asian tourists on the boat. they kept bumping rudely into them and, because they thought no one spoke their language, made derisive remarks about us in our own country. her daughter turned on them, told them off fluently in their own language, capping it off by telling them to go back to their own country then!

5:14 pm

evanonut

so we aren't the only bigots out there.

5:15 pm

kaurie

any hint on er5/12? i'm baffled

5:15 pm

wurdygurl

sorry I was on homework help. I am logging off though beofre I get myself in another discussion. lol later.

5:15 pm

Layne

Absolutely not, Evan. There's bigots in all flavors.

5:15 pm

evanonut

kaurie baffled or babbled?

5:15 pm

boreetos

yeah evanonut. incest is the reason for the society's downward spiral. THink about it, it we all started as essentially one person, then the genetic material to form new people is used over and over, in a complete and utter degradation of that original material. Modern genetists have proven that incestual societies are evolutionary dead ends. Not branching out into other gene pools is a bad thing. So, if we all come from the same gene pool, what chance do we have in the long run?

5:16 pm

kaurie

pick any one that fits- i can't find the thing

5:16 pm

chic

Hence the Ugly American; anyhoo I'm a Child of the Universe...so there.. I'm laying down now...later

5:16 pm

helenkeller

bye wurdy - nice talking with you!

5:16 pm

bonkler

er5/12 the repblican politicians er*** when they tried to demonize migrants and alien workers to please their fundameentalist masters ;-)

5:16 pm

boreetos

bye wurdy. thanks for the opinions!

5:16 pm

boreetos

bye chic.

5:16 pm

evanonut

bye wurdy!

5:17 pm

kaurie

grr, i feared it was obvious. thanks!!

5:17 pm

evanonut

boreetos - i'ma christain, so i believe God took care of that problem in the beginnig, but if you're concerned, then it depends on the length of the long run! ;-)

5:17 pm

Layne

Boreeto, I think that's backward. If we all started from one person (impossible, if you think about it, so let's say two people), then the first coupling was of very close relatiaves, the second tier of coupling was of cousins, the next tier was 2nd and 3rd cousins, etc. So we're getting farther away from that incestuous stuff.

5:18 pm

helenkeller

hmmm, my goal was to get this little grid done quickly so i could lay down & watch my tape of housewives & grey's anat. & baby my head-cold -- that hasn't worked out so well yet :)

5:18 pm

evanonut

i make it a policy not to question God.

5:19 pm

evanonut

helenk - go baby that cold, we can have fun arguements later.

5:19 pm

helenkeller

no layne - not correct, check out the national geographic website, you will find the opposite is true, we are all way more related than we might like to think

5:19 pm

bonkler

don't question god, question those who choose to speak for him/her/it.

5:20 pm

Layne

Evan, I wouldnt' question Him either, but so far the comments I get from Him comes to me through men, and I DO question them!

5:20 pm

evanonut

bonkler, yes! sortof...

5:20 pm

helenkeller

evan - wish i could -- but i must find 23 more words first -eeeeeek!!!

5:21 pm

Layne

bonkler I think I like you.

5:21 pm

boreetos

layne, but if all people come from the same two, then all genetic material out there is, or once was the same. even mating with third cousins, is still reusing the same information over and over.

For an example, say a man and a woman had eight children. Those eight paired off and had eight children each, those 32 children paired off and had eight children each, etc... that is incest. It would ALWAYS be incest. You'd always be drawing from the same genetic material.

5:22 pm

Layne

But Boreetos, wouldn't you agree that incest with your 495th cousin is better than incest with your sister?

5:22 pm

evanonut

boreetos - do you really think God didn't think of that? i think he/she would really have to be off of his/her game to not think of something that we have.

5:23 pm

smaller

ooo way to go, bonkler! nice one

5:23 pm

bonkler

ditto layne. religion can be a wonderful force for good. sadly it is too often administered by men who succumb to lust for money, power and control. pat robertson and jerry falwell and james dobson are no better than mullah omar or any of the crazed muslim extremists. fundamentalism is the attempt by a few to use faith as a cudgel.

5:23 pm

evanonut

SMALLER!

5:24 pm

smaller

hey nut,
just getting up to speed. you people have been busy today!

5:24 pm

evanonut

cudgel? who uses that word!

5:24 pm

Layne

Nicely said, bonkler.

5:24 pm

evanonut

just having some fun smalls

5:24 pm

faeriekae

Who is having incest with insects?

5:25 pm

evanonut

faerie! you deem is safe again! i dunno...

5:25 pm

faeriekae

LOl I've been following along :)

5:25 pm

Veruca

Incest with insects seems wrong

5:25 pm

bonkler

i use cudgel, at least on babble some folks will actually know what it means. i love the descriptive nature of older terms.

5:26 pm

boreetos

conscience thinking is just that. WE've invented all these problems, named them and criticized them. THere are only those ideas that we've introduced into this world.

Question god huh? Why wouldn't I question it?

Here's one for you. The bible. Written by people inspired by God. Genesis lays out a simple and easily understood explanation of where the world came from. Interesting how the people who wrote the bible and had such a deep understanding of creation didn't know that the world was round. In fact, the Catholic church executed many people who stated that it might not be flat.

Question everything.

5:26 pm

evanonut

incest with insects seems impossible

faerie, i could feel your eyes following the log

5:26 pm

Layne

Veruca, incest with insects would be DIFFICULT!

5:26 pm

faeriekae

ROFL

5:27 pm

Veruca

difficult but doable

5:27 pm

Layne

Yes, Boreetos. Especially: Question Authority.

5:27 pm

smaller

a cockroach does sound tittilating

5:27 pm

evanonut

lol boreetos - well if you must, but to tell the truth, if i were to question God, the only thing keeping me together in trying times, i might as well stop existing.

5:28 pm

bonkler

lol smaller

5:28 pm

boreetos

im out kids, thanks for the talking! I love discussing religeon, theologgy and social issues. Forgive me if I get a little passionate and whatnot about it. I just get excited. :) see you all tomorrow.

5:28 pm

evanonut

i know a nice cockroach for you smaller, he lives just down the street.

5:28 pm

hurshy

actually, the person or persons who wrote genesis did not likely see themselves as writing a scientific account of the creation of the world, but rather a description of God's relation to man, since it was written from a pre-modern point of view. the moderns later took it to be scientific because that was they way they thought. and then people today question everything - that is a post-modern way to think. :)

5:28 pm

Veruca

boreetos you wouldn't happen to be a fan of Fox M - the truth is out there. I want to believe

5:28 pm

faeriekae

I just beleive that if I moved to say Germany I would learn to speak German and to live by thier laws. I would not expect them to change everything for me.

5:29 pm

faeriekae

Bye Boreetos :)

5:29 pm

boreetos

veruca. the man had a point once in a while. see you all later.

5:29 pm

smaller

bonk,
i searched the chasm of my brain for that last morsel for ya!

5:29 pm

evanonut

yes faerie, i would learn to speak german took, and i'd probably need a cup of tea every hour for my abused throat.

5:29 pm

Layne

Good attitude, Faerie, but I hope they'd be patient with you if it took longer than they liked.

5:29 pm

smaller

nut,
just one? i work with about 30.

5:29 pm

Veruca

faeriekae - now your moving - what is going on today!!!!!!!!

5:30 pm

faeriekae

LOL no shit

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

helenkeller

bye boreetos - enjoyed our talking today!

5:30 pm

evanonut

boree, twas fun

5:31 pm

bonkler

faerie a noble sentiment. but you would also find a good deal of the population speaks english as an expedience. many americans expect to travel abroad and carry their own special set of rules with them. i've dealt with lots of amerrican tourists who do stupid things and expect, "i'm an american" to be sufficient excuse and explanation.

5:31 pm

faeriekae

I might be exacuted before I ever learned the languag I'm afraied.

5:31 pm

Layne

Thanks, all. Daily chit-chat is nice but something meaningful once in a while is excellent.

5:32 pm

evanonut

bonkler, where are you from?

5:32 pm

faeriekae

Evan - you need a roach trap LOL

5:32 pm

helenkeller

bonkler - i agree -- i am often ashamed to admit i an american when i travel to other countries

5:32 pm

godthaab

There are actually 2 sources for the writer of Genesis- the P source and the J source as they are known in eccliastical circles. The J and the P sources differ in terminology and actual details of the story.

5:32 pm

evanonut

okay, i lied about the cockroaches (whew) i hid them under smallers sink for a treat.

5:32 pm

i've only ever been to haiti, they were real nice there.

5:33 pm

bonkler

i'm a canadian, child of british immigrants. my family was military. we have family in several euro nations. english is the language of business. i speak the least no. of languages in my family at 2 (awful french). the old man spoke , i think, eight.

5:34 pm

Layne

Still here, Helen. For a few more minutes. Thanks for asking.

5:34 pm

evanonut

i took french in highschool because of proximity to the canadian border, oddly enough, i've never crossed it.

5:34 pm

helenkeller

sounded like you might be leaving - i wanted to say 'bye' & thanks for the good chat!

5:35 pm

5:55 pm

Bye Faerie..............

anyone want a clue before I leave?

5:55 pm

evanonut

mag - when you color a shirt again, you re*** it.

5:55 pm

wassup

ooh nan! how about re 5/14?

5:55 pm

helenkeller

mag - add sometime vowel to the previous word

5:56 pm

cybernan

re 5/16: adjective -- root is the r 4/5 before it

5:56 pm

evanonut

oops, sorry mag, only saw that first...;-)

5:56 pm

scatty

i'm back, better get going, have fifty to do before the flip

5:56 pm

evan - i think mag may strangle you, lol

5:56 pm

re 5/14: turn up the bottom of a skirt or pants again

5:56 pm

evanonut

i hope not! i'm very funny about my neck being touched.

5:56 pm

hetty

Hullo everyone. Quite an afternoon of babbling and chatting to Doctor_God I've had. I'm so glad he's going to eliminate the flip between wordlist and stats; so much easier for someone with a head like mine. Talking of heads, does anyone with better one have the 2 cu6's?
And how can I find them?

5:57 pm

grant

Clue for de5/12?

5:57 pm

wassup

thanks, duh... :)

5:57 pm

magzel

sorry have the one with the sometimes vowel.

5:58 pm

Jera

de5/12 add normal plural letter to woodland creature that doesn't need to be pluralised...

5:58 pm

cybernan

de 5/12: plural of the de 4/5 (doesn't seem right to me either!)

5:58 pm

hurshy

cu6's - people who heal, and a past tense of a cu4

5:59 pm

evanonut

duh! missed the past tense one, tx hursh

5:59 pm

cybernan

Hi Hurshy! -- missed your help on the finish!!

5:59 pm

sorry cnan!!! was checking my email!

yes :)

Bingo. Thanks, though we should consult a rhetorician.

6:01 pm

thanks all. i'm soooo stupid. i thought i had the coloring again one but didn't.

6:02 pm

We're overdue for a biggie -- just hope it isn't tonight -- have a lot to accomplish tomorrow.

6:05 pm

evanonut

hey, not technically!

6:06 pm

hurshy

what evanonut said is completely unrelated to the ew4, a pitcher.

6:06 pm

hetty

hurshy, you're a marvel. And a mensch.I tried putting a past tense ending onto a cu4 term I had never seen before ( and assumed was a noun!) AND IT WORKED. Home run now.

6:06 pm

scatty

Hi hetty, how many have you got to get

6:06 pm

hurshy

hmmm, i hope a mensch is a good thing.

6:07 pm

evanonut

tx hursh - *sticks out tongue at helen k*

6:07 pm

hurshy

of course i don't know why nut was bringing up sheep... did you perhaps mean EWWW!, nut?

6:08 pm

evanonut

yes, yes, i think that's what i meant hursh...ewwwwwww, because kissing my neck would be ba-a-a-a-ad

6:08 pm

hetty

Hin there scatty. "It's time for every frivolous whim, proper or im" Tralala. And I have 35 to go.

6:08 pm

hurshy

lol

6:09 pm

Jera

Wow, ya learn something new every day... i assumed ew4 was one who raised female sheep.

6:10 pm

smaller

now nutty buddy,
you did say a word earlier de4/6 when faerireiekae came to play. i was being mature when i didn't mention it earlier, that my brief affliction of that has now passed.
nut said a word, nut said a word. ahhh. i feel better

6:10 pm

evanonut

and i thought it was one who says "ewwwwww!"

6:10 pm

helenkeller

lol evan -- see that's the difference between me & hursh - hursh is a stickler for details, but ewe were 'close enough' & that's good enough for me

6:10 pm

Uneaixoise

hetty, why? "I'm so glad he's going to eliminate the flip between wordlist and stats"--I really like it . . . .

6:10 pm

scatty

Hetty - you are beating me by 20 at the moment

6:11 pm

hurshy

lol lol lol

6:11 pm

evanonut

smaller, does it count if you don't have the word yet? if it does, then ewe were correct.

6:11 pm

helenkeller

LOL smaller!!!

6:11 pm

smaller

nut,
oh of course it doesn't count. for me. silly girl.

6:12 pm

evanonut

now, when did i say that word?

6:12 pm

Jera

Most of the time when people say a word it's one they haven't found yet. So I guess it has to count or we'd rarely get to tease someone about it!

6:12 pm

helenkeller

oh you people are tooo much fun, but this time i am really going - hk slowly moves mouse up to 'x' in corner

6:12 pm

smaller

nut,
but if you'll support that guy from van wilder to be morelli, i can upgrade you to the doesn't-count-til-i-have-it status

6:12 pm

evanonut

bye hk

6:13 pm

hurshy

i tend to say words like "this" and "into" even if i've found them already - they are hard to avoid!!!

6:13 pm

smaller

bye helen keller!

6:13 pm

evanonut

i'm gonna have to hold back on the upgrade then, cause he is totally not a morelli.

6:14 pm

smaller

hurshy,
those are definitely the unwritten/unspoken allowable words. i have yet to see anyone balk at those

6:14 pm

evanonut

now, orlando bloom on the other hand, total morelli.

6:14 pm

smaller

dang

6:14 pm

hurshy

then you didn't see yesterday when i said "this"! :)

Hursh, the woman who once called me a "mensch" said it was a Yiddish term for a gifted and generous person.
I hav no proof she wasn't pulling my leg. But I wanted to pass it on in the hope you would be pleased. "It's May a risk in every way, and time to make each ta-te-ta day /One you'll always rue. . .tralala

6:15 pm

hurshy

A person having admirable characteristics, such as fortitude and firmness of purpose: â€œHe radiates the kind of fundamental decency that has a name in Yiddish; he's a menschâ€

6:16 pm

evanonut

lemme ask him, he's "tied up" right now.

6:16 pm

momofadam

hetty, it's true.

6:16 pm

hurshy

well, thank you for the compliment, hetty. i don't think it's a word i'll be working into my vocabulary, only because it reminds me too much of menschtruation

6:16 pm

hetty

No, correction "It's May, a libellous display, and time to make each ta-te-ta day. . ." (wish I could recall the ta-te-ta word. I once played Guinevere

6:16 pm

smaller

he looks to young for a 'stache.
not tough enough yet

6:17 pm

evanonut

s'okay, morelli doesn't wear a stach

6:19 pm

smaller

maybe by the time the movies are made he'll toughen up a bit and age and fill out. kinda angular
he just seems so delicate.

6:19 pm

6:21 pm

hetty

Uneaxoise. . .just saw your question. I had a fisticuffs sesson with Dr_Gd today becauseof a discrepancy between the score earned yesterday and the one that showed up on the stats--appeared there was a problem for klutzes like me switchng from one listing to the other, that's probably whyhe's going to address it. But I didn't ask him to, honest

6:22 pm

smaller

but he is cute. maybe he just needs time

6:22 pm

hurshy

well, momofadam, it all goes back to the ancients... a great propet foresaw the future, knew we would be playing babble, and said, "i shall invent a letter, the words beginning with which shall be so bizarre that babblers everywhere will be tormented... bwahahaha"

6:25 pm

ok i think i'm looking for more of a "wisened" look. morelli's been through a lot. viggo's face shows too much character. but i'll concede to orlando if he ages well.

6:26 pm

hurshy

johnny depp?

6:26 pm

smaller

it's still a few years a way more than likely. he's got potential. won't he need contacts for chocolate eyes? i thought his are blue.

6:26 pm

hetty

Hursh, I'm smiling (but not laughing outright, probably because "I've changed. . .") at your joke. But I do appreciate your wit. Trelala. Do you appreciate my singing "It's wild, it's gay, a gift in every way. . ."And like Wassup, I need er5/12

hmmm. too used?

Ohy, Wassup--it's the pural of le4!

6:31 pm

evanonut

and so the morelli debate rages on.

6:31 pm

hurshy

but what do you think of scott patterson? did you google him?

6:31 pm

evanonut

hurshy, think italian, sexy, good in jeans, great in bed, with a dangerous looking scar through the eyebrow.

6:31 pm

hurshy

i need to know if i'm on the right track or what modifications i should make - i'm trying to bring the two of you into harmony :)

6:32 pm

Layne

Hetty, isn't there a verse with something about "prays that her lad will be a cad?"

6:32 pm

8:03 pm

faeriekae

Thanks Scatty :)

8:04 pm

scatty

bobkat, sometimes its easier to tell you a letter in a word instead of giving a clue for the whle word ei
hook = r
curve = c
curly = e
snake = s
letter crossed = t

8:05 pm

evanonut

back, what'd i miss?

8:05 pm

hurshy

another offering from me, nut, albeit a bit young... but maybe in a few years?

8:06 pm

scatty

Hi nut, where have you been

8:06 pm

evanonut

scatty, bathing, hursh, is that a hint to refresh?

8:07 pm

hurshy

indeedy, nut - nick abraham - tell me if you want me to zoom in on his face for ya

8:07 pm

evanonut

can't decide hursh, is it a vampire?

8:08 pm

hurshy

lol, NO - i'm guessing you don't like... let me try a diff pic

8:08 pm

evanonut

zoom in on his face for me! then the usual butt shot, ab shot, lines shot.

8:08 pm

evanonut

standard procedure, you understand.

8:08 pm

scatty

you didn't miss much, Mikey changed his pic, he had too many admirers with the one he was using

8:09 pm

evanonut

hmm, yes, i can understand that, i'm always beating them off with a stick...

8:11 pm

scatty

8:12 pm

scatty

i didn't know peri had gone

8:12 pm

scatty

very tasty

8:12 pm

evanonut

tx, i keep him right next to my morelli.

8:13 pm

scatty

nut - if your too busy, i'll look after him

8:13 pm

hurshy

ok, is this helpfuller?

8:13 pm

evanonut

oh, no! they're no trouble. a little duct tape settles them right down.

8:14 pm

scatty

thats better hushy, the pic is alot clearer now, not so scary, i was waiting for a bat to fly past just now

8:14 pm

evanonut

hursh, i'll let him try out...you want in?

8:15 pm

hurshy

nah, not my type

8:15 pm

hurshy

i like james denton better myself - but i was going on suitability for the role.

8:16 pm

evanonut

i'm not so fussed about morelli as ranger, it's ranger thoughts that keep me up at night - oh ranger, ranger, womans perfect treat.

8:17 pm

scatty

does anyone want any clues or have we all finished

8:18 pm

bobkat

f ?

8:19 pm

scatty

i think i'd better go to bed, nearly nodded off there, good luck with the grid, nighty night, see you all tomorrow

8:19 pm

evanonut

nighto scatty

8:20 pm

bobkat

cannot find how to use f

8:20 pm

hurshy

nothing starts with F

8:21 pm

broll

nut - Sorry, your icon doesn't look beefy enough for Ranger, in my opinion. A younger version of Steven Seagal seems about right. Is there such a person?

8:21 pm

hurshy

or uses it at all

8:21 pm

scatty

bobkat, it was weeks before i completed a grid, don't panic, alot of people dont finish, my friend has been playing babble for over 6 months and she has only finished once

8:21 pm

evanonut

sorry broll, i can't think of one, but he's a great ranger for me, besides, i think ranger is younger than morelli.

8:22 pm

evanonut

and ranger isn't really beafy remember, hes cuban american, are cubans beefy?

8:22 pm

Cat9x

Hi all, I have to chime in here, I am OBSESSED with Evanoviches books, and agreed Ranger keeps me up at night also!!!

8:23 pm

evanonut

cat9 - yay!!!!!!! another ranger fan!

8:24 pm

featherbee

OHHH! that's what all the ranger references are! count me in! lol

8:24 pm

Cat9x

Oh yeah!!! I just finished book 7, and am starting on 8, then on and on...LOVE them, Morelli sounds hot too, but something about Ranger, the mystique is soooo hot! :)

8:24 pm

evanonut

i'm forming a ranger gang, who wants to join?

8:25 pm

featherbee

lol, he could sneak into my room anytime...just don't tell my husband!

8:25 pm

evanonut

it's the bad boyness, morelli's a good guy now, ranger is still dangerous.

8:25 pm

Cat9x

me me!!!!

8:26 pm

evanonut

we'll be the rangeman gang!

8:26 pm

Cat9x

Yes, very dangerous, have always had a thing for the bd boys

8:26 pm

hurshy

so nut - do you also kinda want nila to leave michael for ray?

8:27 pm

evanonut

my theory is that i married my good guy, so ranger can be my bad guy.

8:27 pm

Cat9x

I've gotta run, but count me in on the Ranger gang :) Byeee!

8:27 pm

evanonut

hursh - who, what, who?

8:27 pm

featherbee

9:20 pm

featherbee

9:20 pm

Eva

thanks, wasn't even trying that corner!

9:23 pm

Eva

hey bash, our kitties look related. Is yours a Maine Coon?

9:26 pm

Bash

Actually, she's not Maine Coon...she's a mixed up breed, but she has a tiny head and tiny muzzle, and her legs are way longer than a Maine Coon. My boy kitty is a mixed up breed, also, but he's definitely got Maine Coon in him. Your kitty is gorgeous!

9:27 pm

mrpresident

Kitties!!

9:27 pm

featherbee

tw 5,22?

9:28 pm

Bash

mrprez, your kitty pic always makes me laugh!

9:28 pm

Eva

Yours is beautiful too - much thinner than Merp. He is also mixed breed, but obviously has a lot of Maine Coon in him- the tufted ears, tufts on the bottom of his paws, doglike behavior, squared off body.

9:28 pm

Angelsong

first st6?

9:29 pm

Dianne

featherbee - tw+ word for 12 months but take out 2nd vowel.

9:30 pm

featherbee

lol, oh sure, i use that word every day, how could i have missed it! (slight sarcasm there...)

thanks!

9:30 pm

Bash

Ah, mine both have the tufted paws...sabrina has dainty little paws, but my Sebastian has those big ol' Maine Coon paws. Kitties rock! Sorry to those looking for clues - I need those clues, too...

I am down to my last three words so I am begging. I need me5/22 and 2 tw's--I have the hairy fabric ones so I'm looking for tw5/22 and tw6/36. Too bad there isn't a "p" in the grid cos I feel a right twerp

9:42 pm

hetty

Thanks Frances, Eva, I got it finally-- the past tense was the hint I needed. In the past few grids we have had cats crying over and over, and always with a different echoic harmony. Somebody thinks a lot of cats.
Now, can I help anyone?

9:42 pm

Bash
