hi kierlex

12:44 am

Schroeder

Hi Kierlex

12:44 am

kierlex

it's a fantabulous night!

12:44 am

kristinc

hi kierlex!

12:44 am

kierlex

but i think my babble is hypnotizing me to sleepiness!

12:44 am

kierlex

hi kristinc, you are the mommy 2 be, right?

12:45 am

sprite

try having a couple of kids over for a pyjama party for your son's birthday. No fantabulous night, only a verrrrrry short one ;)

12:46 am

kierlex

ohhh wow. that is exactly the reason i dont have more than one kid per sleepover =)

12:46 am

kristinc

yes kierlex...good memory!

12:46 am

kristinc

sprite...bet they had fun anyhow :)

12:46 am

kierlex

how goes bedrest kristinc?

12:47 am

sprite

Ah well, once a year I can do with lesser sleep, lol. They are having a great time. I will wake my husband in a short while to make them breakfast. Each his own, hahaha, he slept!

12:47 am

kierlex

my son had a sleepover here last weekend and actually they put themselves to bed and to sleep before 10pm! And he's only 7. He was reallllly tired that night

12:47 am

sprite

Is it quiet on the inside, kristinc, still hanging in there?

12:47 am

kristinc

kierlex...I'm doing fine, maybe you should ask my husband :) (we're all doing fine though)

12:47 am

kierlex

how old are your kid(s) sprite

12:48 am

sprite

My son is 10 now, so tired is not in his dictionary at the mo ;)

12:48 am

sprite

My daughter is 8

12:48 am

kierlex

well, when it comes to pregnancy it doesn't matter how hubby feels...

12:48 am

kristinc

quiet enough to keep the baby in at this moment so a big improvement from a few weeks ago! thanks for asking

12:48 am

kierlex

i have a son, 7 (Alex) and a daughter, 4 (Kiernan). Thus Kierlex...

12:49 am

sprite

Glad to hear that! And how is the mom-to-be... bored stiff from taking it easy?

12:49 am

sprite

nice nick, kierlex :)

12:49 am

libarebel

blog was not found-- ???

12:49 am

kierlex

thx sprite

12:49 am

sprite

hehe, abbr. for weblog. I agree it should be a word by now.

12:50 am

kristinc

sprite...not too bored but stiff from sitting still :) I'm actually still working from home so that, visitors and babble keeps me occupied.

12:50 am

libarebel

ty sprite :)

12:50 am

kierlex

well it's in the dictionary.com as a word

12:50 am

kristinc

kierlex...nice to know the origin of your screen name...that's cute!

12:51 am

libarebel

well, let's hop Dr. G reads chat! ;)

12:51 am

sprite

Ah, that is good to hear, you still have lots of things to keep you from hitting walls. I will keep thinking of you and the little one :) ((((kristinc)))))

12:51 am

kierlex

oh kristin, that is nice that you can do some work. Make sure hubby gives you leg and hip massages. i remember my hips just aching and aching

12:52 am

libarebel

hope, Dr. G. :)

12:52 am

kristinc

thanks sprite :) People on babble have been wonderful! ((((Sprite)))
((((kierlex))))

12:52 am

kierlex

do you have a good pad for wherever you are laying? a good, thick eggshell pad came in handy (especialy when my water broke all over it and saved our futon mattress! lol)

12:54 am

kierlex

i want hagle to work. and gleer. and pung....

12:54 am

sprite

Perhaps we should drop the whole enable dictionary and make our own babble version!

12:54 am

kristinc

nothing that that kierlex...I actually try to change where I sit from time to time but I have wondered about whether to invest in at least a waterproof mattress pad (for the future I hope!) I can still be up and around a bit within the house.

12:55 am

kierlex

that sound like a plan, sprite

12:56 am

kristinc

yes...let's rewrite the dictionary! (mine would not include any re-words)

12:56 am

FranMag

kierlex that last one does work, it's the stopper for a keg

12:56 am

kierlex

oh, i see kristin. i was on strict bedrest (well, i tried the wandering around the house bedrest and landed in the hospital) so it was worth having something for comfort.

12:56 am

sprite

I soooo much wanted 'wootsier' yesterday.

12:56 am

FranMag

remember pu4/8 in the wizard of id?

12:56 am

kierlex

oooh, so it does! thanks franmag

12:57 am

kierlex

i didnt think about a waterproof pad because my water didn't break with my first baby.

12:57 am

kristinc

no, they want me up and about a bit...not more than 5-10 minutes at a time (but believe me, I take advantage of those)

12:57 am

libarebel

hmm... good idea, kristinc ;)

12:57 am

FranMag

mine didn't break until doctor was about to break it herself with my first

12:57 am

kierlex

doesnt it seem like there is a high percentage of women on here all the time? i think that is cool (apologies to any lurking men)

12:58 am

kierlex

yeah, with my first they broke it for me but it wasn't nearly as dramatic as when it broke at home in the living room. my 4 year old son was totally impressed by that!

12:58 am

sprite

Probably because we women tend to do lots of things at the same time, while most men will start the babble, work at it, then take their attention elsewhere?

12:59 am

kierlex

actually i got my husband addicted and he will just sit here for hours during prime housecleaning/cooking/couldnt you do something else time instead of late at night like me, perfect woman lol

12:59 am

FranMag

how funny kierlex!

12:59 am

sprite

eggnut needs two Gs :(

1:00 am

kierlex

kristinc is this your first baby?

1:00 am

kristinc

we have our token men on babble and they're all swell :)

1:01 am

kristinc

yes...baby 1 for us and after all this drama...highly anticipated

1:02 am

kristinc

my husband likes to play with me (he's pretty good)

1:02 am

kierlex

ohhh so exciting!

1:02 am

kierlex

no comment on your last comment kristin =)

1:02 am

piperb

It's a p 6/30 out there

1:02 am

kierlex

do you know if it is a boy or girl?

1:02 am

sprite

Looks like our dictionary is actually in the grid!

1:02 am

sprite

kristinc! LOL!

1:03 am

kierlex

what sprite?

1:03 am

kristinc

true...play babble I mean (now I'm emabarassed) :)

1:04 am

kristinc

it's a boy (she says tentatively not knowing how other things she writes late at night might be misinterpreted)

1:04 am

kierlex

it is our 15th anniversary today and my hubby is sound asleep and i am babbling... how romantic!

1:04 am

sprite

E6/24 our dictionary, E7/36 even more so!

1:04 am

kristinc

1:05 am

kierlex

"WILL THIS LIFE OF EXPLODING UNCONTROLLED ANIMALISTIC SEXUAL PASSION AND LUST NEVER CEASE?!?"

1:06 am

sprite

LOL! You have the best, a husband with a sense of humour. Nothing can beat that :)

1:06 am

kristinc

tee hee kierlex...fun card!

1:07 am

kierlex

1:07 am

1:07 am

1:07 am

1:08 am

1:09 am

kristinc

1:09 am

kierlex

well, he is on the night shift and had to work 10 hours straight plus teach a class for another 6 hours on his day off so he is pooooped

1:10 am

sprite

Aren't they cute when they sleep ;)

1:10 am

kierlex

he is moving to day shift in 2 weeks so i am going to have to get used to sharing our bed again!

1:12 am

sprite

For a lot of biggies, use the ending of our dictionary. I found the 9 too, St9/66.

1:12 am

kierlex

ohhh thanks sprite. i am such a newbie at this

1:13 am

sprite

Endings like that usually generate many nice words :)

1:13 am

evilolive

ha 4/7 seems to be a popular start for words today. i have 5 others starting with that.

1:13 am

sprite

My tip: try it on anything even remotely likely to produce a word, lol. Some might be surprising.

1:14 am

kierlex

i only found 2 with that ending sprite... will keep trying

1:15 am

sprite

there are at least 3 x T with it. And don't forget the dictionary itself, plus someone doing it.

1:16 am

sprite

evil: true! That's a nice nest of them there.
For the ending: there is a unnice H too.

1:17 am

kierlex

i got one t and then the dictionary and the doer

1:17 am

sprite

1x Te, 2x Tu.

1:18 am

kierlex

ahhh, i see them now. never would have gotten those

1:19 am

libarebel

ty, evil :)

1:20 am

evilolive

no worries

1:21 am

MarqueeMarc

how in the heck is blog not a word? i have one!

1:21 am

rycaut

the dictionary needs to get modernized... blog is not found...

1:25 am

kierlex

i think roughable should be a word

1:25 am

libarebel

I was bummed about blog, too

1:25 am

dalmatian5

dicktrickle

2:01 am

sprite

For the St7: shorthand, drop last letter, then 1st 2 letters of what you need to open to enter the garden, add one more consonant.

the other Sp5/14 starts the same as the disgusting one, then short version of 'not low'

2:08 am

LUCKY

sprite I am trying your st shorthand clue but cannot get the garden bit

2:08 am

mattygroves

Spungle should so be a word. Morning from a hungover matty (and possibly still squiffy)

2:08 am

sprite

you will, kierlex. This is a not so easy one, though, with a high amount of nonwords.

2:08 am

sprite

Morning matty!

2:08 am

sprite

'hungover' is almost there.

2:09 am

mattygroves

sprite

kierlex: something to style your hair with when you go fly.

2:16 am

kierlex

ok got that one thanks!

2:16 am

kierlex

i swear i have entered some of these words more than once

2:18 am

I sometimes have the same idea, kierlex. But perhaps we made a typo entering it?

2:18 am

kierlex

most likely =)

2:19 am

kierlex

2:33 am

sprite

Eek kierlex!
Ok, for the stupidhead words department: there is Ou4/7 and Ou6/16, for changeling or simpleton, usually spelled a lot simpler. They are alt. spellings of eachother, not a plural.

2:33 am

Doughnuts. What an excellent idea!

Good morning all. Dr_God is making us work hard again...

3:14 am

Atalante

hi haz :)

3:15 am

Haz1558

Good morning Atalante - I never did get back to finish yesterday's so hopefully I might get on better today. How are you?

3:16 am

Jacula

Good Morning, Hazel, Paige, Maddie, Atalante. Just arrived to copy out the grid. Not sure how much, if any I'll do today as it's my son's 22nd birthday and we're off out for lunch etc.

3:16 am

Atalante

looking after an unhappy spaniel! Its pouring down with rain so she doesn't want to go for a walk - she hates *wet* - so she's running around trying to get rid of energy and pestering me!

3:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning Jacula - happy birthday to son! And Atalante - a spaniel that hates the wet? Is that not unusual?

3:17 am

Jacula

Spaniels are 'supposed' to be water dogs. LOL.

3:18 am

Atalante

she's an unusual dog LOL. she hates bad weather - refuses to go out on windy or rainy days. *sigh*

3:18 am

Atalante

and I mean *refuses*. digs her heels in and refuses to move out of the front door

3:18 am

egm

i hate my brother

3:18 am

egm

he is so annoying

3:19 am

Haz1558

She IS unusual, then! Spangle deliberately heads for puddles and letting her off the lead anywhere near a river is asking for trouble.

3:19 am

Jacula

Oh dear! I'd better watch how much I eat at the carvery this lunchtime... The first two words I've spotted are hu4/8 & hi4/6! :(

3:20 am

Atalante

Hobbit likes puddles when she's actually out, but that's about it. She occasionally ventures into the sea up to about tummy level, but if there's waves, she runs away!

3:20 am

ExWren

Morning all, just popped in to see if I am playing today. I eventually started yesterdays when I found out that the evenings TV was dominated by football and cricket! Didn't finish though

3:20 am

Jacula

egm - I believe brothers are mean to be annoying. He's just fulfilling his purpose in life. *grins*

3:21 am

Haz1558

Not a happy combination, Jacula! Good morning ex-Wren - so are you playing today?

3:21 am

Jacula

*meant to be annoying. Sorry, I haven't had my cup of tea yet. Brain's not functioning.

3:21 am

egm

but he alway has sumting to say back at me

3:21 am

Jacula

Morning, ExWren.:)

3:22 am

ExWren

Still debating. It's raining so I won't be gardening - perhaps

3:22 am

Haz1558

Will this rain ever end do you think?

3:22 am

Atalante

don't think so

3:23 am

Atalante

Kent is underwater

3:23 am

egm

its not raining in adelaide

3:23 am

Atalante

you're in adelaide? lucky you!

3:23 am

KittyVane

Send some of that rain our way, it's still too dry over here, pollen and dust all over the place!

3:24 am

ExWren

We are leaving for a break on Sunday, and was hoping for some decent weather, not much hope so far. We are only going down to the Isle of Wight!

3:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning Kitty - we would if we could!

3:25 am

jess is cool l

hey egm

3:25 am

egm

its only really cold in adelaide

3:25 am

egm

hi jess

3:25 am

KittyVane

I just vacuumed and dusted yesterday, and it's dust bunies the size of our cat here already

3:25 am

Jacula

Good morning Kitty. Congratulations on winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Well, not you personally, but Lordi for your country.

3:26 am

KittyVane

Thank you, all of us finns are still a little stunned over it

3:26 am

Jacula

Kitty - I think they're great.

3:26 am

KittyVane

they are

3:27 am

Atalante

do you know Carrington St in Adelaide, egm? Used to live there for a while :)

3:27 am

egm

i hav to go bcoz callum the gay has to go on

3:27 am

KittyVane

a friend of mine was actually their first keyboardist, she left the band last summer

3:27 am

egm

cya jess

3:27 am

egm

and the other people

3:27 am

jess is cool l

cya

3:27 am

Jacula

Kitty - bet she's kicking herself now!

3:28 am

KittyVane

not really, she didn't get along too well with some of the band members and she's glad to be rid of them

3:29 am

Haz1558

And think of having to wear those masks all the time!

3:29 am

KittyVane

she's the kind of gal who would see going to the Eurovision as being against the band's image

3:29 am

KittyVane

she only had a half mask

3:30 am

Jacula

Yes. Is it true that they never appear in public without the masks. They ARE masks, aren't they?? LOL.

3:31 am

KittyVane

Yup, they don't want to show their real faces in public, as that would take away from the image of the band, make them seem ordinary

3:31 am

KittyVane

and yes, they are masks :D they design and make them themselves

3:32 am

Jacula

Kitty. I can see you friend's point about the band's image re entering the Eurovision but them doing so, and winning, may well bring about a long-needed change (for the contest).

3:33 am

KittyVane

I sure hope so, the skirts were getting way too short and the songs way too boring and dull

3:34 am

Haz1558

The voting is my favourite bit. Where do they find the cheesy hosts?

3:34 am

Jacula

It's time Sweden stopped trying to find another ABBA. It won't happen.

3:34 am

Jacula

Haz - I miss Katie Boyle with her 'French' scoring and her poodle. LOL.

3:35 am

KittyVane

my favourite bit was Wogan's narrating of the competiton (I watched it on BBC)

3:36 am

Haz1558

I remember dear Katie as well. We're showing our age. And yes, Kitty, Terry doesn't hold back, does he?

3:37 am

KittyVane

our narrators went speechless as the voting unfolded

3:37 am

KittyVane

and by the end they were just screaming and whooping :)

3:38 am

lshult

Hi all,

3:39 am

Jacula

There were some very strang songs/ideas this year. The woman from the Ukraine sounded to be singing, ' Show me your butt' and 'Shoot Felix every day'. (!) The Turkish woman reminded me of Brigitte Nielson as Red Sonja. Lithuania were taking the p**. Latvia's song was plain weird. Spain's song was strange. Germany went country with their version of Dolly Parton. Denmark were singing about The Twist but were breakdancing (?). Russia had a woman trapped in a piano and the UK decided that a rubbish rap song wouldn't be noticed if they dressed woman up as schoolgirls to dance around.

3:39 am

lshult

I'm just trying to forget the desaster that was eurovision.

3:39 am

Jacula

Hi Ishult.

3:40 am

KittyVane

Hello Ishult

3:40 am

lshult

at the half way mark today, but have only 3 7's & noyhing bigger

3:40 am

Jacula

... and I might be able to type properly once I'd drunk some tea. LOL.

3:40 am

Haz1558

Ever since the woman from Turkey won with her expanding ribbon corset, they've been trying to be ultra-clever with costumes.

3:40 am

KittyVane

I'm trying to forget the Eurovision too, but it's impossible what with them talking about on telly all the time!

3:41 am

Jacula

*or even I've drunk some tea.

3:41 am

lshult

oooh, having a bit of a typing desaster today

3:41 am

Jacula

Ishult - You're not alone!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Right - have to go but will be back later.

3:42 am

Jacula

'Bye Haz.

3:42 am

lshult

the cleaver euro costumes startrd way back with Bucs Fizz!!

3:42 am

Jacula

Oh, the ripped off skirts. Remember that!

3:43 am

Atalante

bucks fizz were fab!

3:43 am

Atalante

the russian entry this year was just mind-boggling. did anyone understand the woman-in-piano?

3:43 am

Jacula

My vote for the Worst Song this year went to Croatia.

3:44 am

lshult

Atalante, shouldn't say that too loud!!!

3:44 am

KatieMcG

the one that ripped off her skirt this year really did end up showing too much :)

3:44 am

Atalante

BUCKS FIZZ WERE FAB! I don't care LOL they were better than anything this year *laughs*

3:44 am

KatieMcG

Atalante - I couldn't work out where the rest of her body was she must have been in agony

3:44 am

Jacula

Hi Katie. As Terry Wogan said, 'It was a legs year'.

3:45 am

Atalante

I know! poor girl!

3:45 am

KittyVane

maybe she was legless :)

3:45 am

KatieMcG

Hi Jacula - it certainly was, the one in the bikini was amazing

3:46 am

KittyVane

apparently the song had the same themes as the ballet Giselle, so they put some ballerinas on stage... although that doesn't explain the ger in the piano

3:47 am

KatieMcG

I thought that the best song won, if only for being something different, and the makeup was fantastic

3:47 am

Atalante

apparently it was very existentialist. or something

3:48 am

Atalante

I'm sooo glad Finland won. the song was awful - sorry kitty - but they completely deserved to win for being different and a breath of "fresh" air

3:48 am

KittyVane

the song is awful! that's the point of it

3:48 am

Jacula

The song was virtually Alice Cooper's 'Poison' but the band deserved to win.

3:49 am

KatieMcG

Now you are all judging it on normality, cast your mind back to Saturday and how bad all the others were and in that light the song was quite good :)

3:49 am

Atalante

lol yes! some were truly appalling

3:50 am

KittyVane

I think it's nice that the band went there to have fun and to shake things up and then to everyone's surprise won!

3:50 am

Jacula

As soon as I heard Lordi I said, 'Yes! That's the winner for me!' I was just amazed that all the other countries agreed. I was so pleased when they won. I love rock and all it's theatre.

3:51 am

Jacula

It's nice to see the fun back in music.

3:51 am

4:52 am

smokey2joints

Onpaki

hi, i need a ha5/12. the 2nd one. anyone please?

5:21 am

Haz1558

What is the second letter amanda?

5:22 am

Eva

ha5/12-alt spelling of not likingn someone

5:23 am

amandacath

ba6/30 - + mash, I think

5:23 am

Haz1558

The ba6/30 is another way of saying sausage!

5:23 am

Onpaki

i think it is the other one i'm missing, eva.

5:24 am

amandacath

Ah - now I know!

5:24 am

Eva

what do you know Amanda?

5:24 am

amandacath

what british ba6/30 is, Eva

5:25 am

Eva

oh-I've been assuming the sausages?

5:25 am

Haz1558

Just to be confusing it can also be a firework or an old car.

5:25 am

amandacath

Onpaki - are you looking for the hawaiian word for white guys?

5:26 am

Onpaki

er, i'm not sure. haha.

5:26 am

Eva

thanks amanda. Always forget that one

5:26 am

amandacath

But most people wouldn't eat those for breakfast, would they, Haz?

5:27 am

Haz1558

If they value their health they wouldn't eat any type of banger for breakfast - at least not every day!

5:27 am

amandacath

I wouldn't have gotten the ha either, but someone clued it before. It's ha + a bullfight word, Onpaki

5:28 am

Onpaki

oh tks!

5:29 am

Kateq

ha + 4 letter spread without the last letter

5:32 am

Eva

5:33 am

david.m1fcf

mmmm.... doesn't recognies the abbreviated web log word. whats up with that?

5:34 am

Kateq

It's an st, Eva--I'm just starting those

5:34 am

Eva

5:36 am

Haz1558

5:38 am

Eva

5:42 am

periwinkle

HI, can't find the st5 that starts the st9, may I have a clue please

5:42 am

Haz1558

You live in a country which unites lots of them

5:42 am

david.m1fcf

@Peri: is it 50 or 51 in america?

5:43 am

periwinkle

5:44 am

Eva

haz- a clue for that ha8/60? Is it a compound?

5:44 am

amandacath

Haz, does ha8/60 start with the noose?

5:45 am

Kateq

ha 8 60 does start w/ noose

5:45 am

amandacath

nvm - got it: it's where the t4/8s l6/27 around

5:45 am

Haz1558

It starts with the noose and ends by becoming a place where you would gather to relax.

5:45 am

Kateq

ha 8/60 = places for teens

5:46 am

Eva

Thanks haz & kate!

5:46 am

Hi Rlee

6:01 am

movieman

Hiya, everyone!!!!

Well, there's no mistaking who I've chosen for my icon today, so don't even bother guessing.....

6:01 am

Eva

the heavy street lingo is there

6:02 am

Haz1558

Don't forget some of us need glasses MM

6:02 am

gramma

Good morning everybody! I'm back from my frantic race to work....just an hour early. It's a long story which involves, the power going out...me resetting the clocks....did't have my glasses...you get the idea

6:03 am

amandacath

heavy street lingo, Eva? Morning gramma!

6:03 am

Eva

hi gramma-take some long deep breaths. There must be lightning or something going on somewhere down the line because it isn't rainy or windy, but we had a momentary power loss too

6:04 am

Eva

amanda-you probably have it already-obese ph word

6:04 am

amandacath

Ah, yep had that one

6:05 am

Eva

vowels are ha8!

6:05 am

gramma

I ha**It will be a long deserved weekend to start my day this way. Just on a dead run, yelling at my honey, OMG it's 8 !

6:08 am

Eva

61 left. Not bad for the first sweep through, but now Merp is harassing my sleeping partner. I don;'t like rewarding him for this behavior, completely lame operant conditioning, but otherwise he'll go on and on so he wins. Kitty breakfast time.

6:08 am

amandacath

...what about the other two ph's?

6:09 am

Haz1558

They're what it sounds like when the power goes out!

6:10 am

dinoshadow

help with the st9?

6:11 am

bookgrrl

eva--my cats annoyed me through the night...turns out i forgot to leave them more food before i went to bed last night...

6:11 am

amandacath

ummm, what does dark sound like?

6:11 am

Haz1558

It's a combination of two words which together form 'can be spoken out'

6:12 am

gramma

dinoshadow, sorry I don't have it

6:12 am

Haz1558

Sorry amandacath - it's probably more apt to describe the other ph words as sound-alike words for a candle being put out.

6:12 am

Jera

Morning, all... blog is invalid, eh?

6:13 am

Haz1558

ph plus the start of Salt Lake City st5

6:14 am

Haz1558

Okay - the rain has eased off so I'll take the dog for a walk. There are some good Scots and Irish words today. lo5/18 is the Irish version of a loch, and ha5/20 is a low-lying Scots meadow. Both words are good for clearing the throat! Be back later.

6:25 am

Jera

Over original problem but still very tired... going to doctor today if I can get out of my driveway!

8:20 am

amandacath

8:28 am

amandacath

I repeat what I said before - thx, tho, Ata

8:29 am

Atalante

its a really really hard word to clue for *thinks*

8:29 am

Eva

atalante-I keep trying the only exppression of disgust I see there-u__ and it doesn't work

8:29 am

jbp

is the disgust expression like what a sheep says?

8:30 am

Atalante

ok. abbreviation for street + abbreviation for the language we're writing now + 1st vowel + consonant

8:31 am

Atalante

thats a bit of a better clue I *think*

8:31 am

musicmom

AHA! Not a st** gun.

8:31 am

Eva

much better! But once again-that's a word?!

8:31 am

musicmom

8:33 am

8:33 am

movieman

ktf - ba4/7=Thai unit of currency.....

bookgrrl

sigh. Blogs are my life, and Dr_God has decided they don't exist. :-(

10:28 am

abe79

one my early faves. it was between facts and one day at a time

10:28 am

hurshy

doc doesn't control the dictionary, he borrows it.

10:28 am

Krys10

i knew a jfarber way back when...

10:29 am

jfarber

he chooses it, hursh.

10:29 am

jfarber

Krys: bet it's me. :-) Newton, MA?

10:29 am

Krys10

how the hell did you end up here? and how the hell are you?

10:30 am

jfarber

LOL. Should we do this in public?

10:30 am

jfarber

and aren't you supposed to be teaching right now, just like me?

10:30 am

rolin

can some one tell m if the 'u' words are negatives..un's..?

10:31 am

jfarber

let's let the board decide: folks, any opinion on whether Krys and I should reconect in this space or go provate somewhere to do it?

10:31 am

hurshy

i only have 2 so far rolin but one of them is like that.

10:31 am

Aloyisius

3 uns, 1 up

10:31 am

hurshy

i don't mind if you reconnect here :)

10:31 am

jfarber

that's one vote for voyerism...anyone else?

10:32 am

abe79

i don't know jfarber, it might cost you some clues :)

10:32 am

Aloyisius

me either.. how cool, an unexpected reunion. But alas, I must go and get the poor dog a bone..

10:32 am

Krys10

ooh, bartering clues for gossip - things *have* changed around here!

10:33 am

Ho Hum

depends how long yr postings are going to be and if you really want to bear all in front of the unknown masses.

10:33 am

BGL

I think it will be fun to witness your reunion...especially if clues are invoved

10:33 am

jfarber

Okay, I got nothing to give yet, but here goes:

10:33 am

Krys10

Ijust started playing, so I have nothing to clue about.

10:33 am

jfarber

For the public: Krys and I grew up together (I'm technically younger, sadly), connected at a time in our lves when we needed a person...

10:34 am

jfarber

and were once in a band called, I believe, twelve stupid thieves. If one rehearsal in PJ's basement counts as a band.

10:34 am

rolin

aaaww...

10:34 am

Aloyisius

oh, geez... the dog will have to wait...

10:34 am

Krys10

I worked in a bakery and he drove an air-conditioned van.. it was a natural fit

10:34 am

abe79

and now you're both babblers!

10:34 am

jfarber

Krys: you're in CA now, yes? Been a while...

10:34 am

jfarber

And now we MIGHT both be teachers, too -- Krys, you still teaching?

10:35 am

BGL

I hear soap opera music and am seeing an 80s montage

10:35 am

jfarber

I left the prep school world for a big house in the ruburbs of rural Mass and a middle school job this past year.

10:35 am

Krys10

moved to Cali and taught HS math for five years. quit, went to grad school, got my MSW, cobbled together part-time jobs while tutoring to make ends meet.

10:35 am

hurshy

hooray for the brady bunch!!!

10:35 am

Aloyisius

so, how many years has it been?

10:35 am

Krys10

quit social work after two years because tutoring paid better and was more fun. have been self-employed small business owner ever since.

10:35 am

jfarber

Heh. Realizing that many of my fondest memories of Krys may not be appropriate for public consumption.

10:36 am

jfarber

Small busines? Do tell: product?

10:36 am

Krys10

Last email I got from jfarber was in 1996

10:36 am

jfarber

Been...Jeez, almost a decade? My tenth wedding anniversary is this Aug, so I HOPE it was at least that. :-p

10:36 am

jfarber

sounds about right.

10:36 am

jfarber

(this is what I get for using my real name as a babbleuser, eh?)

10:37 am

Krys10

no, tutoring. where in Mass. did you end up? Also I've been married for three years, with J for six.

10:37 am

jfarber

In MONSON -- which is an unheard of tinytown near Ware (where?) and teaching in nearby Wilbraham, home of Friendly's restaurant.

10:37 am

Krys10

you had just gotten married when you last emailed

10:38 am

Jaime

Friendly's! My favorite childhood place.

10:38 am

Krys10

I've heard of Ware. Glad you're still teaching

10:38 am

jfarber

Now I have TWO little girls, own two acres and a lawn, dog and cat...mortgage and everything. Feels oddly adult.

10:39 am

jfarber

Me, too -- this past summer the four of us were homeless after the prep school cut instructional department and kicked us out of school-owned housing.

10:39 am

Krys10

i was wondering if you have little ones... we are making plans. in the meantime I still have a red-headed cat who's been with me 11 years.

10:39 am

Krys10

my goodness, that must have been exciting

10:39 am

jfarber

Glad to hear you're tutoring, actually -- I'd say you were always at your best 1:1, but that might not sound...appropriate.

10:39 am

Krys10

nope, it wouldn't sound appropriate at all, you rascal

10:39 am

jfarber

Little ones are cute, and the littler -- 13 months -- weighs only 17 pounds. She's a redhead too.

10:40 am

Krys10

not surprised :)

10:40 am

jfarber

Exciting? Well...going to job interviews while tyraveling campsite to campsite was different, to say the least.

10:40 am

jfarber

(everyone's just watching us, right? This is pretty funny.)

10:40 am

BGL

Okay~ just catching up... Friendly's was my first job. I was a waitress and fountain worker!

10:41 am

BryanC

yes. it is good, please go on.

10:41 am

Jaime

What's the name of the giant bowl of ice cream? Jimmy or something?

10:41 am

FMitch

I can't wait for the movie to come out!!!

10:41 am

Minski

Does anyone have the UP7? Running out of ideas. Is it a compound word?

10:41 am

Krys10

glad to hear you're landed right side up. i do miss Friendly's.. there aren't any here on the west coast. there was a 24-hour joint near where i went to college

10:41 am

jfarber

I got my next batch of students coming in in about five minutes, by the way -- so Krys (and others, if you like), don't miss this next thing:

10:41 am

BGL

Jim Dandy!

10:41 am

hurshy

i have it - new york, not the city!

10:42 am

jfarber

10:42 am

hurshy

10:42 am

BGL

HUrshy~ Not just the Brady Bunch, but Brady Brides Get Married a very short lived reunion attempt

10:42 am

jfarber

Right side up is the right word, I suppose -- though it was a LONG summer.

10:42 am

Jaime

mmm, Jim Dandy. I always ordered it when I had a good report card :)

10:42 am

Minski

Thanks Hurshy. Need the fish for that one. ****insert eyes rolling smilie here*****

10:42 am

Krys10

I'll find you there - good to run into you, babe.

10:42 am

jfarber

You too, honey. :-) Miss you, and think about you just enough to be fond without being scary, I promise.

10:43 am

hurshy

minski, i need two un's, i have can't do... are the others also prefixed or just happen to have un?

10:43 am

Minski

Don't know yet. Just getting to them. All I have is Can't do also so far.

10:43 am

BGL

I have very fond memories of my nearly 10 years at Friendly's

10:43 am

jfarber

Don't forget to stop by, Krys -- or it'll be another ten years, since the odd "old friend google search" doesn't catch you!

10:43 am

Krys10

go enlighten young minds - I'll catch you later.

10:44 am

Krys10

it doesn't? not very good marketing for my business...
*goes off to google herself*

10:44 am

jfarber

Done and done! Thanks for humoring us, everyone. Love to Krys. Later, all -- 14 year old kids are streaming in for A lesson on web design.

Good morning babbler all. Ive just ben reading the charlog with the greatest of pleasure; learniing all about the life of jpfarber, whom I haven't met before. Fascinating. Welcome back, jp, and it's good to make your acquaintance, as it were. I'm happy to see someone else has used his/her real name

10:49 am

Minski

the un6/24 is the plural of the 5/14.

10:49 am

hetty

since Iwas thinking I was the ony one to do so, and it felt lonely. One thing about being a babbler--you're never lonely

10:49 am

hurshy

and i guess it's a five...

10:50 am

BGL

Hey everyone... Hobious is my husband. He's responsible for my addiction and musicmom's addiction to babble

jeffer

10:55 am

FMitch

10:55 am

hurshy

expunge.

10:55 am

BGL

I tried that earlier also, jeffer

10:56 am

hetty

Yes, thaks everyone, I know many of you have done the modern thing (as required in many passwords) of adding numbers etc. to your real name. It's just I felt rather old-fashioned. But then I am!

10:56 am

jeffer

ah yes, ty hurshy

10:57 am

hurshy

hetty - people often add numbers to their usernames on other websites (larger ones) because someone has already taken the version with no numbers :)

10:57 am

bunnyvicious

10:58 am

jeffer

by the way - what do you suppose happens to the words we type that don't go in the chat or in the "added" box ? are they saved as future Babble grid words?

10:58 am

abe79

lots of eye contact? we often get weird looks in public

10:59 am

phandmd

I copied someone else, who copied someone else...

10:59 am

11:01 am

Krys10

hurshy

11:06 am

11:06 am

Atalante

fine! if I'm not wanted here *sniffs* don't you need any more clues for 8s or something? :P

11:06 am

hurshy

11:10 am

jeffer

11:10 am

hurshy

munner - it sounds like it would be a shaky link (but it's not)

11:10 am

bunnyvicious

te 6/21 - spell like a game played with racket and yellow ball, add 5th vowel right in the middle instead of double cons

11:10 am

Atalante

isnt it funny monkey typing randomly for allof your last words?

11:11 am

hurshy

so what's the fourth 8 besides the ha's and the ro

11:11 am

Atalante

tu

11:11 am

11:11 am

hurshy

11:11 am

bunnyvicious

11:21 am

Atalante

I need 1. I need 1 of most letters - so annoying!

11:21 am

Krys10

it seems unfair to the greeks that the hep- prefix is not as versatile

11:21 am

hurshy

yes i agree krys

11:21 am

bunnyvicious

which two Hursh?

11:21 am

hurshy

esp since i need 6 more h's

11:22 am

hurshy

oh bunny, i don't know, listlessness is problematic that way

11:22 am

hurshy

probably 5's. i'm bad at 5's.

11:23 am

hurshy

yes in fact i have only one t5, a plural.

11:23 am

hurshy

come to think of it i'm bad at everything but 4's

11:23 am

bunnyvicious

the other t 5 - add second vowel to end of th 4/5

11:23 am

tndaisy1960

Atalante

11:28 am

wurdygurl

why oh why can i never get past half way finished? I try and try - I rarely ask for hints, i don't use the list. Maybe that is it...I am not using my resources. Or, maybe I am just vocab challenged????

What is today's theme supposed to be? I keep losing track...

1:29 pm

boatierra

Ah, didn't even think to look at that. Good pic.

1:30 pm

hurshy

sitcoms, jera

1:30 pm

TheFiz

not many participating, though - i'm excited to be able to display one of my childhood heroes

1:30 pm

stidmama

I am still totally flummoxed by the et words.... help?

1:30 pm

Jera

Ah. Not much of a sitcom person. Guess I'll stick with my boring old self-portrait (LOL)

1:31 pm

BGL

I second stid's cry for et help!

1:31 pm

TheFiz

me too!

1:31 pm

hurshy

one's a gas, the other is a babblet and its pl...

1:31 pm

hurshy

the babblet you add two vowels.

1:32 pm

firefly779

hi hurshy!

1:32 pm

bex777

hiya everyone!! :)

1:32 pm

boatierra

firefly779 - Here's a bit of trivia. Did you know that a group of fireflies is called a conflagration?

1:32 pm

TheFiz

sorry - babblet?

1:32 pm

FMitch

et4/5 & pl is the ol babblet word that crops up quite regularly means a needlecase.

1:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi hursh, bex!

1:32 pm

Jera

I love stuff like that... what groups of animals are...

1:32 pm

Krys10

I love the word flummoxed. Two of the ET words are a needle case and its plural, and the third is a gas, I assume..

1:32 pm

hurshy

hehehehe

1:32 pm

firefly779

WOW, i did not know that boat! ;)

1:32 pm

stidmama

hi bex! babblets are "regulars" in the grid

1:33 pm

boatierra

Ya, that from 'An Exaltation of Larks' by James Lipton. Great book. I highly recommend it.

1:33 pm

TheFiz

hi bex. thanks stid.

1:33 pm

Kaetchen

Thanks hursh - just what I needed.

Hi, I just got here. How's today's puzzle?

stidmama

i am NOT getting them, still. please hold my hand a little more...

1:34 pm

boatierra

Oh, one of the et words, is one of my favorite for this puzzle and for crosswords to know. Its a needle case.

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

smokey2joints

1:34 pm

hi mab :)

1:35 pm

firefly779

hi mab

1:35 pm

Jera

Being a corviphile, my favorite is a murder of crows... although a parliament of owls is pretty cool, too

1:35 pm

Krys10

melonhead - neat!

1:35 pm

mab

hi hursh :)

1:35 pm

boatierra

Hola mab

1:35 pm

Krys10

Jera, what is it for ravens?

1:35 pm

Merk

So where's the 9 letter word?

1:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey mab!

1:35 pm

firefly779

dunno Jera, a crash of Rhinos is pretty cool too :)

1:36 pm

mab

hi temple

1:36 pm

hurshy

a nevermore of ravens?

1:36 pm

Jera

A conspiracy of ravens!

1:36 pm

TheFiz

I gotta leave you all - there's work to be done and I'm leaving town for the weekend. Maybe I'll stop by tonight. (good one, hurshy!)

1:36 pm

boatierra

Don't you just love all those terms? I get the biggest kick out of them. Here's another one: an indifference of waiters

1:36 pm

stidmama

blech. got the et 4 and 5, looking for the 6 now...

1:36 pm

stidmama

later Fiz!

1:36 pm

Merk

What does the 9 letter word begin with?

1:37 pm

hurshy

st9

1:37 pm

stidmama

merk -- st

1:37 pm

Krys10

Merk - it's related to an s5

1:37 pm

Jera

Although an unkindness & constable are proper alternatives for some reason...

1:37 pm

Merk

OK, an 's' word then. Thanks

1:37 pm

boatierra

Jera - I looked up corviphile in Dic.com, and nothing came up. What does it mean, love of what?

1:37 pm

Jera

Ravens/crows

1:37 pm

boatierra

Ah, thanks.

1:38 pm

Jera

I kinda made it up... I love ravens/crows

1:38 pm

melonheadjujube

i can't believe a hiphop word is in the dictionary when other slangs much older aren't!

1:38 pm

stidmama

me too, Jera -- I knew what you meant immediately!

1:38 pm

boatierra

Ah, even better. My made up word for myself is heliophobic.

1:38 pm

hurshy

with my cats i think a group should be called a wrestle of cats...

1:38 pm

jeffer

stid that et 6/ is often preceded with "m"

1:39 pm

hurshy

m/e6 smells...

1:39 pm

stidmama

ty jeffer -- that was what I needed.

1:39 pm

boatierra

A pounce of cats

1:39 pm

boatierra

But wrestle is good.

1:39 pm

Merk

Got it. That one wasn't so bad.

1:39 pm

Jera

I thought I made up a word when I was a kid... gesticulate... I was very disappointed to learn it was "real."

1:40 pm

jeffer

ok i need clues -

1:40 pm

1j2u3d4y

do you all know each other is that how you can chat and still play?

1:40 pm

stidmama

and hurshy... feeling very out of it today. Down to 78 now. :-)

1:40 pm

melonheadjujube

a bounce of sparrows

1:40 pm

jeffer

st 5/14 both please

1:40 pm

smokey2joints

101 left

1:40 pm

boatierra

I just join in chat any time I want. Don't really know anyone here.

1:40 pm

Jera

Usually both are not done well, 1j2u3d4y...

1:41 pm

hurshy

st5/14 sounds like front steps or to crouch, and then the other you change the end vowel

1:41 pm

stidmama

go smokey go!

1:41 pm

1j2u3d4y

I am (obviously) new here and I sure can't do both

1:41 pm

Jera

I've only found 6 words since I got here

1:41 pm

Merk

That st also helped me with the 'up'. I always go from bottom up.

1:41 pm

Krys10

I turn off chat when I'm really trying to focus - but the chatting is the fun part. I ran into an old friend here earlier today, but I don't expect that'll ever happen again!

1:41 pm

1j2u3d4y

oh Jera - you make me fee so much better

1:42 pm

Jera

Well, that just made my day!

1:42 pm

1j2u3d4y

did you really, Krys - that is a riot

1:42 pm

jeffer

got them hurshy

1:42 pm

1j2u3d4y

when you type my name skip the numbers...it goes faster that way

1:42 pm

Krys10

it was really strange - check back in the log from a few hours ago if you're feeling voyeuristic

1:43 pm

stidmama

ha 7/44... assume the 8 following is its plural...

1:43 pm

jeffer

once more you stoop to conquer

1:43 pm

Jera

Usually if you've been chatting then decide to get serious, you say Okay, I'm diving into the grid now... so people won't wonder why you suddenly stop talking

1:43 pm

melonheadjujube

has anyone noticed this is a rather zig-zaggy game today?

1:43 pm

Jera

I figured out the pattern, judy...

1:43 pm

1j2u3d4y

you got it!

1:43 pm

Krys10

must be from navigating all around the vowels

1:44 pm

jeffer

nu 6/21 please?

1:44 pm

boatierra

Ah, it won't take 'thang'.

1:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

jeffer: think of "to change"

1:44 pm

stidmama

sorry jeffer, don't have that yet...

1:44 pm

boatierra

lo5/18 is the Irish version of loch. It has the same ending as the coarse ro5/18

2:33 pm

ARB

lo 5/18 -- ends in that wonderful unpronouncable 4 letters in the middle of the grid

I can't find the te 5,14 or 'te' 6,21. Are they slang? Any hints?

2:35 pm

ylleria

truth be told, in a perverse way I kind of like it ;)

2:36 pm

Haz1558

Merk - the te5/14 doesn't exist, so stop looking for it. The te6/21 does - the number after nine and the ending of a series of French Kings.

2:37 pm

Merk

Oh, Haz, thank you so much. I was going batty!!

2:37 pm

gramma

Help me! after I TE (took care of) and before the 10th Hebrew letter, there are 2 words I can't find. Anybody, please.

2:37 pm

ARB

se 6/21 anyone?

2:37 pm

Haz1558

I'm not sure what happened with Lickety's list, but the te5/14 definitely isn't there!

2:38 pm

Merk

But I don't know the ending letters for French kings.

2:38 pm

gramma

Haz, I saw your clue ....ty

2:38 pm

Haz1558

It's the name of Mr Pasteur, if that's any help? lo5/12

2:40 pm

smokey2joints

how do you know which words you're missing?

2:40 pm

Haz1558

se6/21 is a seven piece musical band/group

2:40 pm

smokey2joints

as in how long/how many points they're worth

2:40 pm

inge

gramma te 6/21: no. after nine + fifth vowel, third vowel, and snake

2:40 pm

Merk

I finally got it. I was not thinking of the king's actual name. What does the word mean anyway?

2:40 pm

Haz1558

smokey - if you click on Lickety's babble clues, under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page, you will get a list of second letters and values there.

2:41 pm

smokey2joints

thnx

2:41 pm

jeffer

lo 5/12 not Pasteur, please?

2:41 pm

Haz1558

It's a voiceless stop apparently, Merk.

2:42 pm

saffire

Cant find ba4/6. Have searched and searched!

2:42 pm

Haz1558

The other lo5/12 differs from Mr Pasteur only in the last letter, substituting a vowel for a consonant.

2:43 pm

Haz1558

saffire - ba4/6 is a unit of currency. Switch round the last letters of the place where you soak to relax.

2:43 pm

jeffer

ty again, Haz1558

2:44 pm

saffire

Got that one haz. just cant see another

2:44 pm

Haz1558

Sorry - I've given a clue for ba4/7! ba4/6 is 'nuisance' as in 'you're the ba** of my life'

2:45 pm

saffire

got that as well/ and boy ba**.

2:45 pm

inge

ba 4/6: ba + unsidedown fifth vowel and second vowel, one meaning is poison

2:46 pm

Haz1558

The only other ba4 is a noisy one.

2:46 pm

saffire

4:20 pm

hetty

Thanks for trying, spotplus, but I'm not getting it

4:20 pm

walnutchen

4:20 pm

libarebel

QTNALASKA

NABLER

4:27 pm

hurshy

hey fiz, you're in RI?!!

4:27 pm

Cathyar

might not be true!!! maybe dr. god wants us all to THINK she is a man!!!! lol can't be too trusting in this world today ;)

4:27 pm

libarebel

someone w/ tech savvy like Dr. G. could put in blue icon :)

4:27 pm

TheFiz

yup. in lovely providence. you?

4:28 pm

hurshy

doc seems to me to be a very honest person. besides i can tell he's a man by the way he talks.

4:28 pm

hurshy

i lived in RI from age 9-18

4:28 pm

circe

Wasm

4:28 pm

hetty

Do you mean ne4? Spot, tried again. my ta4's both turn my nu RED

4:28 pm

Cathyar

4:28 pm

circe

grr. sorry...

4:28 pm

circe

Wasn

4:29 pm

TheFiz

funny - i've lived here since i was 18. didn't think anyone ever moved away... Circe, are you having a seizure?

4:29 pm

Cathyar

says something about women does it not??? we ARE the more intelligent sex!!!

4:29 pm

hurshy

and i can prove i lived in RI - del's, coffee milk, pizza strips, buddy cianci, bubbles...i want to go to scarborough...that's where all the guidos go...

4:29 pm

circe

Wasn't there an article not long ago about Dr. God that referred to him as a 'him'...I seem to remember this....but it is Friday....thanks for the concern Fiz..thinkI am okay now.

4:29 pm

hurshy

or the men who babble don't like to chat as much as the women :)

4:30 pm

Cathyar

that would be reasonable hurshy...most men HATE to chat

4:30 pm

hurshy

also doc has made direct claims to masculinity. i suppose if you WANT to believe he's lying you can...

4:30 pm

hetty

It wiorked the third time. Iswear I tried twice in vain. Thanks, Spot

4:30 pm

TheFiz

I think hursh has it right. the guys just aren't as chatty as us ladies. and they may be uncomfortable with the handbags.

4:30 pm

Cathyar

i wonder what the stats are....my i'm in a curious mood today

4:31 pm

libarebel

except for bonkler (flattened kitty) :)

4:31 pm

Cathyar

i wonder...do the men finish the puzzles quicker??? if so...is it b/c they rarely chat?

4:31 pm

hetty

Why all this androgyny talk? What does gender matter? (say she at 77)

4:32 pm

nrkii

saffire, if you're still looking for sp 6/24 it's relaxing place plus half a laugh

4:32 pm

Cathyar

doesn't matter...just babbling (pardon the pun)... pondering matters of the sexes

4:33 pm

Cathyar

well...gotta go...i think i'm getting on hetty's nerves....anyhow...gotta feed my son and bring in the doggie

4:33 pm

libarebel

hmmm... pondering

4:33 pm

TheFiz

you know, i think it's interesting that we have to pick a gender in our profile, and that it's displayed by our name at each post. isn't this supposed to be a place to get away from all that?

4:33 pm

nrkii

see ya cathyar!

4:34 pm

hetty

I'm babbling too, and I like to tease...on to the o's

4:34 pm

I bought a bunch of Soap episodes on DVD

libarebel

I loved the patty duke show!:-D

4:51 pm

4:55 pm

TheFiz

hello libarebel -the transformation seems complete

4:55 pm

hurshy

well... not to ruin all the genderless fun, but i think that while we should avoid forcing people into certain boxes based on their gender, gender is NOT meaningless. statistically, there are differences. just because not EVERYONE in each gender fits into the stats doesn't mean they are not useful.

4:55 pm

klaurel

but Blog is a short for Weblog

4:55 pm

walnutchen, 10 + sounds like what you do when you have asthma

we learn what to ask for by using a list (Lickety's clues in the links at the bottom of the page) or by figuring out what logically fits in the spaces we have left

8:19 pm

stidmama

There is a da 4 that is just the first four letters of the da 6 and 7 you have.

8:19 pm

the ou 4/7 is stupid. ou + dipthong in phone

8:33 pm

periwinkle

found an ou6/21

8:33 pm

stidmama

the ou 5/16 adds a vowel to the 4/7

8:33 pm

featherbee

te 7/36?

8:33 pm

nrkii

feather, te 7 is plausible

8:33 pm

periwinkle

don't remember what a dipthong is

8:34 pm

stidmama

one ou 6/21 is past tense of the other, the seven plurals the "current tense" ou 6

8:34 pm

weegee

thanks for the st 7... and making me feel better about that last one that's nonexistent!!! phandmd: ro 8 rhymes w/loop.. loopy...loopier...even moreso

8:34 pm

phandmd

2 consonants that make one sound

8:34 pm

stidmama

the last ou 6/21 is to "view better" than someone else

8:34 pm

mich_pdx

okay, me = hungry & my mom's chatting, so I'll say au revoir, mes amies!!

gramma

TY,stidmama

8:37 pm

stidmama

8:37 pm

stid, both fun! cluing makes me work a different part of my brain

8:37 pm

gramma

missyem, why yes I am!

8:37 pm

featherbee

ok, i have no un words

8:37 pm

stidmama

feather? are you lost in thought?

8:37 pm

featherbee

lol, yep!

8:37 pm

stidmama

un 6/27: not capable

8:38 pm

featherbee

gave up on the te for the moment, the plausible one, couldn't fathom that

8:38 pm

nrkii

un 5, take that thing off your head

8:38 pm

stidmama

un 5/14: take one's head cover off, then plural for the un 6/24

8:38 pm

stidmama

feather te = number + "can"

8:38 pm

mich_pdx

8:38 pm

nrkii

stid, you?

8:39 pm

featherbee

got em!

8:39 pm

stidmama

I like both, but get frustrated with finding sometimes -- I like cluing because I can use my "teaching" brain.

8:40 pm

nrkii

yep, I hear you

8:40 pm

gramma

missyem, there is no way you could possibly catch me! I'm tallking years of practice.

8:40 pm

featherbee

sp 5/14? the first one

8:41 pm

nrkii

feather, sp = relaxing place plus HELLO

8:41 pm

stidmama

sp 5/14: totally useless. it's like the 6/24 preceeding, only change out the double vowel for a different single one

8:41 pm

featherbee

oh, right, sp***, i met one of those guys yesterday.....riiiiiight!

8:41 pm

stidmama

I take it back -- that word used to mean 'an algerican cavalryman in the french army'

8:45 pm
