1:00 am

harpjane

So tomorrow it will feel like a medium puzzle

1:00 am

helenkeller

i think you can leave out the word ugly in your sentence & it would still be true

1:01 am

ls1

truly madly deeply is one of my favorite movies

1:01 am

helenkeller

ls1 - i just image googled his name & this was the best young close-up i could find - i wanted the one with the pageboy haircut, but pic was too small

1:02 am

helenkeller

who knew he could sing & dance like that - LOL

1:02 am

libarebel

hmmm..

1:02 am

helenkeller

1:03 am

helenkeller

lib - are you kidding - you can't place that quote?

1:03 am

egm

iv got 1 word yay

1:03 am

ls1

i know- seems like we have a lot in common

1:03 am

libarebel

maybe I was absent that day?

1:03 am

helenkeller

lib - i see by your profile that you ought to know

1:03 am

ls1

most recently lib, think harry potter

1:04 am

helenkeller

1:04 am

libarebel

libarebel

1:05 am

ls1

1:05 am

SueMagee

libarebel

a french ending!, good one, sprite!

2:50 am

sprite

yw ;)

2:54 am

sprite

Also found a bit strange Es8/65, make into an Es5/10.
Same ending as Te7/48 make very afraid and Te7/48 give an account of something you saw happen.

2:58 am

libarebel

you are good, sprite ;-)

2:58 am

sprite

I thought the word was 'obsessed' ;)

2:58 am

FranMag

thanks sprite, still working on those ESs, but found the TEs!

2:59 am

sprite

The Es's are chemical words, Fran!
And finding the 8 was a result of one of my babble rules: try each ending on any word in the neighbourhood! :D

3:00 am

FranMag

good tips sprite, i need to work on finding those longer words. thanks.

3:01 am

FranMag

that es8/65 really is strange!

3:03 am

sprite

I looked up the def and beneath it are even stranger words with that Es5, lol. I will try and remember them too for another grid.

3:03 am

FranMag

i'm sure you already have the r8/45 and the s8/50?

3:03 am

libarebel

hmmm,8/65?

3:03 am

libarebel

r8/45-to quiz again

3:04 am

FranMag

libarebel, find the es5/10 first and then add that ending to it, it really is strange

3:04 am

sprite

I have all the 8s. Down to 13.

3:04 am

libarebel

uh, past tense :)

3:04 am

FranMag

you're my idol sprite!

3:20 am

I think you are missing another De50, bit obscure one. It has a latin ending, def is Loose fragments or grains that have been worn away from rock

3:21 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

3:21 am

sprite

But Ishult, there are 10 x 8, and you list only 7?

3:22 am

lshult

3:23 am

Haz1558

Is the grid friendlier today?

3:23 am

FranMag

3:23 am

Gwen

Ishult, you're missing un8/50

3:23 am

sprite

Also Fe8/55 and Un8/50

3:24 am

libarebel

grid not like me... :-|

3:24 am

sprite

Haz: it is really nice. Lots of common biggies.

3:25 am

Haz1558

I got the de8/50 straightaway from your clue, so that was a good start!

3:25 am

sprite

My absolute favorite of today is Yu8. Put a smile on my face finding it and the smile is still there :)

3:26 am

lshult

just looking for the un now

3:26 am

FranMag

sprite, can i get definitions for those last two 8s?

3:26 am

libarebel

common biggies to you, sprite! lolol :OD

3:26 am

FranMag

like i said, sprite is now my babble hero!

3:26 am

sprite

Fran: Fe 7/8 think iron and chemical words
Un8: no canvas

3:28 am

FranMag

she gives the best clues too!! got them!

3:28 am

sprite

yw ;)

3:30 am

FranMag

that was a great pointer about trying the endings on everything you can think of, i just found 4 more shorter words with that scaring ending

3:31 am

sprite

It works for me every time. I always think: no one is watching, why not try stupid things? And it pays off more often than not, lol.

3:33 am

libarebel

wow, having got rid of camping shelter-- ty sprite!

3:35 am

sprite

Down to 5, all S's. FIgures.

3:35 am

libarebel

hmmm...

3:35 am

sprite

Why are S's always so hard in the end?

3:36 am

Haz1558

It's the law.

3:36 am

sprite

Must be :)

3:36 am

libarebel

have a few--which ones?

3:36 am

FranMag

i'm sure i read it somwhere

3:37 am

sprite

No idea which ones yet

3:37 am

libarebel

Murphy's Law?

3:37 am

Haz1558

Universal law.

3:38 am

sprite

Another babble rule of mine: always check my own wordlist for forgotten plurals, singulars, verb forms etc. But so far no luck with that one.

3:38 am

libarebel

there's st5/12--a trick

3:39 am

sprite

With a past tense, I think.

3:39 am

libarebel

but st4/5--to amaze/paralyze sarts a bunch

3:39 am

libarebel

um, starts

3:41 am

sprite

Sefir isn't a word... could have sworn I heard that somewhere.
But I found one: S4 really great minus last letter.

3:41 am

Miss ABS

Hello All just popping in for a minute before it's time for tea

3:42 am

FranMag

ooh, i had that one sprite

3:42 am

3:46 am

Paige & Maddie

Hi Miss Scarlett, it is Maddie and Paige, your students!

3:47 am

FranMag

now i have those also!

3:48 am

FranMag

i found that u on the bottom left!

3:49 am

sprite

I simply ALWAYS forget some like these, a past tense, a plural, a singular. Always feels stupid, having 'fast' but not 'faster' and things like that.
WTG Fran! Nice find!

3:50 am

FranMag

today i'm actually missing the singulars and present tenses. i seemed to find longer words first.

3:50 am

3:55 am

FranMag

3:55 am

Kateq

se + coonsonant + oopposite of down?

3:55 am

libarebel

3:56 am

sprite

I have: se5/14, st5/12, st5/10, st5/12, st5/12, st5/14, su5/12, su5/12

3:56 am

mrpresident

3:57 am

FranMag

there's also an st5/14 that rhymes with a st4/5 up to a door

3:57 am

Kateq

I think you are missing the St that is a medical term--a tube that is inserted into a blocked artery

3:58 am

FranMag

it's not bad, but it might be because i get to take my time and i've been getting great advice from sprite

3:58 am

4:33 am

mattygroves

Old! I have a teenaged daughter.

4:33 am

hydra

How old? Ancient! Only four years till I officially retire, but in my game (writing and editing) you never retire.

4:33 am

mattygroves

Finchley's gotta beat Uxbridge. I used to work in Park Royal - the Armpit of London.

4:33 am

FranMag

i could have had a teenaged daughter!

4:34 am

mattygroves

You can always borrow mine!

4:40 am

AJsupercoach

4:41 am

mattygroves

I'm on 192 too!

4:59 am

AJsupercoach

I have to concur, stidmama -- I couldn't play last week AT ALL because I have a problem with my elbow from too much Babble... so I had to lay off for a whole week. Yesterday's was short, so I justified it. On the other hand, it has been a week ...

4:59 am

licketySplitAUS

Sorry - Only joking - I'm on 0

Hope you're elbow's better. It's my index finger that's suffering.

Oh well, I have some excitement - as with most of the general population - but I did play 2 games of soccer today

5:00 am

I am excited!! sorry katie! I am up all night watching the world cup AND the french open tennis!
PITY ME!!

AJ - I'm a coach too! Under 7's

5:01 am

KatieMcG

At least we are lucky this year and it hits our timezone, so much easier than having to schedule all meetings round the matches.

5:02 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah - We have most games at either 3am or 5am, some at 1am, and the rare one at 11pm

5:03 am

licketySplitAUS

I have a friend that bet $8000 on Brazil to win.

5:03 am

mrpresident

What!! no way! England to win!

5:03 am

licketySplitAUS

at the time I think he got 7-1 odds

5:04 am

KatieMcG

I know they are good but that is a lot of money. I never bet on the football, I am fantical enough about it without money riding on it as well.

5:04 am

licketySplitAUS

And he's an Australian - but parents from Yuclosavila (like might ignorant spelling! NOT)

5:05 am

KatieMcG

I'm not sure about England winning, I know our team is good but there is usually a missed penalty somewhere along the line :(

5:06 am

licketySplitAUS

Yes, I don't bet on anything either - MUGs game. ;-) The variety of soccer around the world is incredible. I think Brazil will win. Ever seen that video of :

Evening Matty. Hows goes it?

5:08 am

mattygroves

Not too bad - well for me 96 without your ever so wonderful list (though the list will be coming out soon)

5:10 am

licketySplitAUS

hehehe - That's what it's there for ;-)

5:10 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm working on a way that it saves your list in case you refresh

5:11 am

mattygroves

Now that would be good - how bout if it saves your list if you leave work, go home and then log back on at home :)

5:11 am

licketySplitAUS

and you won't need to log in. Just cookies. Unfortunately - it'll only work on the computer you where working on.

5:11 am

mattygroves

Darn! :D

5:11 am

mattygroves

I don't want much, just everything LOL

5:12 am

licketySplitAUS

the other option might come later - but it needs me to link sites, and I have to explore that one first :-)

5:12 am

mrpresident

matty, I tell him that everyday!!

5:13 am

KatieMcG

Better go now, I've got visitors coming (thought I note they are online at the moment), see you all later :)

5:13 am

Heh. I tell my husband that, but he ignores me. Or puts it down to PMS...

Puts it down to PMS! Let me take him out!! I will show him what 'high maintanence' is!!

5:20 am

HA!!! Men should know how PMS affects women, but never, ever mention it!

mattygroves

Yay! 100 words without the list...

5:22 am

licketySplitAUS

I've just developed a new product for Women called 'Everything'. You can use it any time of the day, and any time of the year. All you need to to is to open the container it comes in, and take a deep breath and close you eyes, count to 10. After that, what you wanted initially is gone, and you have everything again.

Levy's Eleven Laws of the Disillusionment of the True Liberal. Law the first:

5:31 am

mattygroves

Large numbers of things are determined and therefore not subject to change.

5:31 am

mattygroves

2. Anticipated events never live up to expectations.

5:31 am

3. That segment of the communityh with which one has the greatest sympathy as a liberal inevitably turns out to be one of the most narrow-minded and bigoted segments fo the community.

Jera

Morning, all... how goes the grid today?

7:06 am

melissamay

FIREWORKS!

7:06 am

Jacula

Melissa - Think of a saying that means 'to give as good as you get'. It is a bird word/bosom word + another word that sounds like a pine tree.

7:06 am

Uneaixoise

yay, Melissa!!

7:06 am

jean1953

congrats melissamay and morning jera

7:06 am

Jacula

WELL DONE, Melissa!

7:06 am

Good gravy, and I swear it's been in the puzzle before...I think I'm Babbled to bits. :)

7:07 am

Jacula

Morning, Jera. I'm at 190 found. No list used yet.

7:07 am

Jacula

7:08 am

melissamay

Thanks so very much all -- anything that's driving you batty that I can help with before I go?

7:08 am

Jera

Doesn't sound too bad, then. Jacula... but then, you're good... hmmm...

7:08 am

mattygroves

7:08 am

melissamay

Think of the whole thing, mattygroves.

7:09 am

Yep - too simple for words. I am a certified moron.

7:09 am

Jacula

I see the 'Stid' family is in the grid today.:-)

7:10 am

melissamay

No, no matty -- I spent a good 10 minutes right before this hunting for something with an s for a plural. It happens to us all!

7:10 am

Ok, then, I'll shove off -- but thanks again to you all for helping me with that last lovely Cockney bit! Best of luck finishing!

7:18 am

Jera

Bye, melissamay!

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

7:18 am

Charm

Question for the day: If one does not babble, does one exist?

7:18 am

Jacula

'Bye melissamay. Enjoy your day.

7:18 am

jean1953

7:19 am

7:20 am

jean1953

I have a rescue dog a deaf labarador

7:21 am

mattygroves

I have a cat mix. OK, I have a cat. My family used to have Komondors, though.

7:21 am

Charm

Mine is 5 yo in July. And he is a 80 pounds of puppyhood. He is wonderful with the 4yo, always patient, always willing to have fun - just the best temperament. Although my husband brought him home, he's MINE!

Heh. Try googling - they are VERY unusual looking dogs.

7:23 am

Jera

Are those the one that look like they have dredlocks?

7:24 am

mattygroves

Yep - the big ones (Puli are smaller and often black)

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

oh, i've seen those before--can't imagine the high maintenance! :-)

7:24 am

Jacula

Look like giant floormops! Lovely though.

7:25 am

mattygroves

I've written reviews about them - check out www.ciao.co.uk or www.dooyoo.co.uk - I'm mattygroves there too - the Ciao review has piccies

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

cool--will go look right now! BBL

7:25 am

Jera

We had a retired K-9 for our family pet when I was little... German Shepherds are still my favorite of the "real dogs". For toys I like poms (I think).

7:27 am

Jera

He wasn't exactly a rescue dog, but he could no longer work, so he was adopted for home life.

7:27 am

Frances

mattygroves

He is wonderful. When three year old granddaughter was new born the only thing he was guilty of was very gently removing her socks without waking her. They now adore one another

7:42 am

Frances

harvey
Ours doesn't know the meaning of walk. He just wants to run....and run. We would love to see him race against a greyhound over a good distance. Don't think the breyhound would have a hope.

Oh I hadn't tried that. I keep getting a slow script warning after I finish the grid and then half my words disappear from my list -- makes it hard to clue

11:25 am

Jera

I would scream if my words disappeared...

11:25 am

Jen

es8 means "To change or cause to change to an es5" (which is a common chemical in Babbledom)... it's like an alcohol, or sort of Madonna's Kabalah name

11:26 am

Angelsong

mm, send me an e mail, and I can forward Dr G's suggestion for fixing the script error.

11:26 am

Jen

And Firefox keeps kicking me off Babble and making me re-log in... I am going to head off for now. Jera, I'll be on tomorrow morning or you can e-mail me... also let me know if I can bring anyting over!

6:09 pm

Frances

I consider myself very fortunate. I worked for the wonderful (noe defunct) PanAm for twenty years so was able to travel the world

6:09 pm

FranMag

Frances, did you ever go to Guam? PanAm flew there for many years

6:10 pm

smithchick

What's really ironic is that my hubby is a pilot. I don't even think he has traveled to Hawaii, though.

6:10 pm

FranMag

smithchick, after your house is built you'll have to take a vacation

6:10 pm

smithchick

I've been to Guam! HAH! And while in Guam, we went to Palau for a week and then to the Phillipines for a couple of days.

After my house is built, we'll be living on peanut butter sandwiches until the old house is sold. Hopefully it won't take long.

6:11 pm

boatierra

6:11 pm

smithchick

Hubby flies corporate. He spends lots of time in Antigua and St. Croix.

6:12 pm

FranMag

6:12 pm

FranMag

6:12 pm

libarebel

fe8/55--an iron product -- plural

6:12 pm

boatierra

See, I was thinking that, I just have not found the right combination of letters. Thanks.

6:13 pm

6:14 pm

FranMag

same here Frances, the job i had not too long out of college was a buyer and i went to Italy 5 times

6:15 pm

smithchick

Hubby used to fly for a company that would let the wives go sometimes when there was room on the plane, so I got to go to Cabo San Lucas a couple of times. When I was young, my father was in the Air Force and we were stationed in Spain for 18 mos. I went on a jewelry buying trip to Acapulco and Taxco Mexico. That is the extent of my travels.I've led a very sheltered life!

6:15 pm

Alien

top left DE

6:15 pm

Frances

Oh Italy. The shoes, the bags and everything else

6:16 pm

FranMag

jeewhiz, the te7/48 that has to do with court is what a witness does on the stand, or in church sometimes people do it too

6:16 pm

FranMag

yes Frances, too bad the job was eliminated in my region!!

6:16 pm

Rexy140

can i et help with un 8/50?

6:16 pm

FranMag

6:17 pm

FranMag

6:17 pm

Alien

un8/50: un+thing you sleep in when camping+2nd vowel+bad grade in school

6:18 pm

JeeWhiz

6:27 pm

musicmom

I saw that Fran --- almost drove myself crazy looking for it too

6:27 pm

smithchick

I was certified and she got certified after doing a beginner dive. She just wanted to go while they were in close proximity. My mother was there visiting and I got there, then we flew with my sister, her hubby and three kids. Swam in the jellyfish lake, snorkeled, dove, toured, shopped. It was gorgeous!

6:27 pm

smithchick

My brother-in-law was certified, too. It was beautiful diving!

6:28 pm

FranMag

yes, it's beautiful. my mother is from Kosrae at the other end of the island chain, it's kind of a unknown destination for divers now

6:29 pm

nrkii

phandmd, de + syllable sounds like a word for trivial or silly + you and I, objective case

6:29 pm

smithchick

We pretty much stuck to the beaten path...

6:29 pm

FranMag

de8/50 means rubble that collects at the bottom of slopes

6:29 pm

nrkii

6:29 pm

smithchick

FranMag

6:30 pm

smithchick

Where do you find them at?

6:30 pm

smithchick

That sounds like fun if I ever finish this...

6:30 pm

nrkii

I ended up subscribing online, because this is the second time I couldnt find one in my town, and I got aggravated -- plus it's cheaper to get the online subscription

6:30 pm

FranMag

it used to be in our paper in Guam, but the ones in Hawaii don't have it!!

6:31 pm

libarebel

nrkii-- since I started babbling I've been neglecting my NY Times Sunday puz-- I miss it!

6:31 pm

6:32 pm

smithchick

How much is an online subscription?

6:32 pm

FranMag

6:32 pm

nrkii

6:32 pm

nrkii

6:32 pm

smithchick

6:32 pm

nrkii

that's for every day

6:33 pm

FranMag

speedfreak, appointed, as in sherrif's de****, but past tense

6:33 pm

smithchick

Hmmm... tightwad hubby probably wouldn't go for that right now. I'll have to conjure up an occasion for a gift!

6:33 pm

nrkii

you can get a 1 month subscription for like $6 I think, to try it out and see if you'd make use of the full year

6:33 pm

smithchick

Or wait for him to leave next week!

6:33 pm

libarebel

nrkii-- last week's --nelected & unfinished...:-|

6:33 pm

Alien

6:33 pm

musicmom

6:33 pm

Alien

actually, that was a bad clue.

6:34 pm

nrkii

liberabel, last week's was a nightmare

6:34 pm

FranMag

musicmom, he is a musician, an accomplished bass player, started with a group, now solo

6:34 pm

6:34 pm

FranMag

6:35 pm

nrkii

I was so embarrassed for myself

6:36 pm

FranMag

musicmom, do you want another clue, or do you want me to tell you?

6:36 pm

nrkii

the only problem I have with the online one is that I really enjoy the paper/ink experience

6:36 pm

libarebel

I know who FranMag's icon is :|

6:37 pm

nrkii

music, it's ST 5 / 14

6:37 pm

musicmom

I'm thinking

6:37 pm

FranMag

don't tell libarebel!!

6:37 pm

phandmd

Thanx for the de clue, I was thinking that was the word, but I couldn't find it at first

6:37 pm

libarebel

of course not, willie!

6:37 pm

nrkii

and I don't mean the ST 5/14 in today's word list!

6:38 pm

libarebel

oops :D

6:38 pm

FranMag

phandmd, when that happens i just type the word, there is no penalty for guessing! or typing the same word over and over again for that matter. ;-)

6:38 pm

FranMag

no, not willie

6:38 pm

smithchick

Hmmm...does that mean that there is an st5/14?

6:38 pm

6:45 pm

FranMag

6:45 pm

stidmama

6:45 pm

musicmom

6:45 pm

6:45 pm

smithchick

Well I really hate it when I got it and didn't pay attention to the fact that I had it and keep looking for it!

smithchick

Or something like that...Hey, stid!

7:09 pm

FranMag

stid, of course it happened on a holiday weekend!

7:09 pm

Eva

7:10 pm

featherbee

7:10 pm

stidmama

7:10 pm

FranMag

smithchick may want to, but she went to change her icon

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

stidmama

7:13 pm

Eva

sorry!

7:13 pm

stidmama

good weather?

7:13 pm

Jen

How was the haggis? :)

7:14 pm

Douglas

They were basically waiting for summer to get on with it. Unseasonably cold and gray.

7:14 pm

Douglas

I had a plate of haggis, neeps (rutabagas) and tatties (mashed potatoes), with some whiskey and onion gravy (that helped)

7:15 pm

stidmama

oh, that's too bad. The pics of scotland in nice weather are quite gorgeous...

7:15 pm

Douglas

nrkii, we whupped the deblogs good!

7:15 pm

stidmama

which helped? the whisky or the gravy?

7:15 pm

Jen

Oooh, sounds yummy! (and I am not being sarcastic!! I loooove haggis!)

7:15 pm

smithchick

I give up on the icon...I'm not going to change it.

7:16 pm

nrkii

yes we did douglas!

7:16 pm

Douglas

Oh, I didn't make that clear...it was gravy, laced with whiskey and onion

7:16 pm

stidmama

I know what haggis is, but never ate it.

7:16 pm

Jen

Either way, it sounds good!

7:16 pm

stidmama

It does sound good.

7:16 pm

Douglas

The ultimate testimony to Scottish thrift and frugality!

7:17 pm

FranMag

my husband is Filipino, we know about thrift and frugality when it comes to food!

7:17 pm

Jen

I think the key to haggis is that you don't think too much about what you are eating

7:18 pm

Douglas

That's true...

7:18 pm

FranMag

tony bourdain ate it on his chef's tour, it looked good to me!

7:19 pm

smithchick

I love Filipino food!

7:19 pm

Jen

Yeah, Fran, but he also ate raw blowfish as well. LOL I love him as a very down to earth chef, but I don't trust his taste sometimes. :)

7:20 pm

FranMag

smithchick, what have you tried and where did you try it?

7:20 pm

Jen

Mmm, pancit!

7:20 pm

FranMag

jen, i think the dangers of eating fugu are overrated

7:21 pm

Douglas

I had some chicken adobo in 2002 in Makati...yum!

7:21 pm

smokey2joints

i eat chicken adobo at least twice a week

7:21 pm

smithchick

I've got a good friend who is from the Phillipines and she has cooked for me a few times. Pork adobo, and some noodle stuff whose name I can't remember. She fixed some stuff with tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, onions, pork, and tamarind in it. Yummy!

7:21 pm

smokey2joints

have it over rice with frech cut green beans

7:21 pm

FranMag

but, i would still make sure it came from a good source!! the fugu that is

7:21 pm

smokey2joints

pansit, lumpia

7:22 pm

smokey2joints

it's all good

7:22 pm

smithchick

Yeah, Jen...Ponsitt is the way it looks to me.

7:22 pm

Jen

I actually don't eat anything raw, as I have an intestinal immune disorder... anything (toxic or not) could be deadly for me.

7:22 pm

smithchick

But I think that's what it is, pansit. Good stuff!

7:23 pm

Angelsong

today's grid was wonderful, if a trifle redundant...

7:23 pm

FranMag

i see why the raw fish episode didn't float your boat jen!!

7:23 pm

Angelsong

I've added some new content to the online resource pages, fyi.

7:23 pm

stidmama

we like adobo, I made some last week. We also enjoy mole (chocolate, of course!)

7:24 pm

Jen

Yeah, it kills me to order steak medium in restaurants, but I can't take any chances.

7:24 pm

stidmama

and the time zone map was great when I needed it a few hours ago! Thanks Angelsong!

7:24 pm

FranMag

love your resource pages angelsong!

7:24 pm

FranMag

different kind of adobo stid.

7:25 pm

stidmama

is it?

7:25 pm

Jen

I made mole sauce once and it wasn't all that good, so I stick with getting that out .

7:25 pm

stidmama

What is pilipino adobo like?

7:25 pm

smithchick

well, my neck is killing me. I'm gonna have to break out the list.I've still got 31 to find.

7:26 pm

FranMag

yes, filipino adobo is kind of a stew flavored with vinegar, black pepper, bay leaves and other things depending on where you are from in the phillipines

7:26 pm

smithchick

I love the citrusy flavor they put in a lot of things.

7:27 pm

Douglas

Delicious fruit is in abundance in the Phillippines, and sold on every corner

7:27 pm

Jen

Latino adobo is definitely not the same kind of seasoning as filipino... both are good though!

7:27 pm

stidmama

oh -- I see! I would like to try that sometime. There is a pilipino restaurant nearby, I will see if they have it.

7:28 pm

smokey2joints

if you are talking about geography and the country it's phillippines

7:28 pm

FranMag

i'm sure they do stid, it's a dish made all over the phillipines

7:28 pm

smokey2joints

if you are talking about the people and/or culture, it's filipino

7:28 pm

smokey2joints

:)

7:28 pm

ch1212

FranMag, I have to ask ... who is your icon?

7:28 pm

FranMag

i'm going to have to find out why that is smokey

7:29 pm

FranMag

do you want clues ch1212 or do you want me to just tell you?

7:29 pm

ch1212

oooh, clues please!

7:29 pm

stidmama

sorry, filipino. of course.

7:29 pm

Jen

Gotta have lumpia stid... it's the filipino version of an eggroll/springroll... out of this world!

7:30 pm

FranMag

see if they have shrimp sinigang, my son's favorite

7:30 pm

smokey2joints

if you can get some babinka or "shoopow" both are awesome

7:30 pm

FranMag

okay ch1212, he is a musician, was part of a band that was big in the 80s, but he records solo now

7:31 pm

stidmama

okay, will have to do a real restaurant run son, I can tell!

7:31 pm

Jen

Hey Fran, just read your profile and you started playing on my 11th wedding anniversay! :) (just thought I'd throw that our there)

7:31 pm

badcat

"pilipino' is ok too, stidmama. P and F are pretty much interchangeable in Tagalog.

7:31 pm

Douglas

Gordon Sumner?

7:31 pm

ch1212

Ah, thought I recognized that cute grin ... is it Sting?

7:31 pm

smokey2joints

the shoopow is like a jelly doughnut, but with meat instead of jelly and the donut is more like a roll

7:31 pm

stidmama

that son should have been soon...

7:31 pm

FranMag

what's funny is most of the dishes you are all mentioning are adapted from chinese dishes, filipino cuisine is adapted from all over southeast asia

7:31 pm

syb215

how many words?

7:31 pm

smokey2joints

yeah

7:32 pm

stidmama

269 words today

7:32 pm

FranMag

7:32 pm

smokey2joints

lots of filipinos are of chinese ancestry, and spanish too

7:32 pm

FranMag

guess ch1212?

7:32 pm

ch1212

So... FranMag, is it Sting? And I used to live in Hawaii as a young girl, in Kailua on Oahu.

7:32 pm

7:33 pm

7:33 pm

FranMag

rexy, more strong or stable

7:34 pm

Jen

Plus, Sting is just sexy!!! :)

7:34 pm

FranMag

9:15 pm

featherbee

ok, i must be looking in a rut...starting fresh, from...now!

9:15 pm

smithchick

Then I'm missing an s4, I guess.

9:16 pm

FranMag

9:16 pm

9:19 pm

FranMag

9:19 pm

FranMag

she thought i was asking for clues smithchick

9:20 pm

libarebel

a su** of clothes, to start...

9:20 pm

Jacula

sl4 - rhymes with something that sticks stuff. Sounds like past tense sl word (not in this grid) meaning 'killed'.

9:21 pm

smithchick

Well, I have all those. Curioser and curioser.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Ah! I see a list is being made. Let me know if help is needed.

9:21 pm

hetty

Jac, I commiserate about the hot you-know-whats. Once they're over the good times will begin, I ptomise. Could you kindly clue me for the di4/5 and the di5/12?Darned if I can see them on the grid

9:21 pm

FranMag

my eyes are probably crossed and i'm not counting correctly smith!!

9:21 pm

featherbee

ul 6/21?

9:22 pm

FranMag

ul 6/21 is a county in ireland or a raincoat, rhymes with gun holder

9:22 pm

bonkler

ul6 like the irish city

9:22 pm

smithchick

Dang. I don't know which 4 I'm missing. I'll save it for last.

9:22 pm

smithchick

I'm going to work on my missing p6.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Hetty - my Mum's in her 70s and they still haven't stopped, and a friend of hers who is 84 still has the dratted things!:-(( Mine only started about 2 days after my 49th b/day last month.

9:22 pm

featherbee

i'm blanking on any irish cities right now

9:23 pm

FranMag

i think it's a t4 smith, do you have 3 T4s at the beginning of your Ts?

9:23 pm

Jacula

Hetty - 1st di4/5 & corresponding 5/12 have to do with losing weight.

9:23 pm

smithchick

Yes, I do. I'll count them again.

9:24 pm

Eva

jac-mine started about 15 years ago! The herb black cohosh, has been very helpful. But I sure know what you mean about the slsseep disruption.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Featherbee - for the ul word, think of a painful stomach sore and change the middle letters a little. Sounds a bit the same. The real word is a man's overcoat + another name for N. Ireland.

9:25 pm

nrkii

Feather, UL + what you do with the spoon when you add sugar to your drink

9:25 pm

bonkler

feather, remember the copier room guy from saturday night live? he made stupid nicknames for people...the ultinator, the ulman, the ul**** first star is an ess

9:25 pm

Jacula

Eva - I am trying the herbs etc., when I remember to take them.

9:25 pm

smithchick

I've got 18 t4's. 13 s4's. 14 r4's and 10 p4's.

9:26 pm

hetty

Jac, I have those. it's the second pair I'm missing--before the third letters become r's and t's

9:26 pm

Eva

the black cohosh can take a few weeks to reach maximum helpfulness

9:26 pm

featherbee

got it! the copy meister! that did it for me

9:26 pm

featherbee

9:26 pm

nrkii

YAY FEATHER!!!!!

WooHoo, featherbee!!!

9:27 pm

libarebel

I thought was too old to awake sweating like a sumo wrestler in the desert wearing a wetsuit...

9:27 pm

Jacula

Hetty - 2nd set of related di4 & 5 are terrible, dreadful, calamitous!

9:27 pm

Jacula

Hetty, think di** consequences!

ROFL, Liba!!!

9:27 pm

Eva

libarebel-I'm 56! Enough already!

9:28 pm

libarebel

9:28 pm

Eva

for the life of me I cannot find the tu7. Does it really exist?

9:28 pm

Jacula

Well, from all the sweaty ladies here I would imagine a deodorant seller could make a fortune, as could an air-conditioning salesman or a portable fan seller. LOL.

9:28 pm

smithchick

It is furrier, Eva.

9:28 pm

FranMag

i keep coming up with the same numbers as you smith!! my eyes must be crossed!

9:29 pm

bonkler

tu7 a tu of cloud, but even more so

9:29 pm

Jacula

Eva - tu7/44 = more tu48 (like a squirrel's tail).

9:29 pm

Eva

or blankets that automatically remove themselves, hover above the bed for 5 minutes and then come back

9:29 pm

smithchick

Having more hair sticking out here and there.

9:29 pm

hetty

I have those too. Help, here we go again. I have 4 wotds (3 4's and a 5) whichbegin with r or t after the di. And, Eva, take your tu4/8 and make it more (don' forget the intervenig third vowel)

9:29 pm

Eva

thanks!

9:30 pm

smithchick

I've refreshed and everything. I think I should probably just get the list out.

9:30 pm

Jacula

LOL, re the blankets or duvets, Eva. My o/h thinks I've gone mad; one minute I'm cold and snuggling up, next minute the duvet's flung back and I'm fighting his loving embrace away.

9:30 pm

nrkii

smith, what are you stuck on?

9:30 pm

bonkler

My ob/gyn has assured me I am unlikely to be the first woman in history to never reach menopause. I'm not so sure anymore.

9:32 pm

libarebel

Hello, Jacula-- yep, the sweats & chills

9:32 pm

Jacula

Hetty. Next di4/5 is filthy. The one after that, wit a related 5/12 is to prepare for action (but sounds like French for 'speak')..

smithchick

It's an se. Okay... I have two se4's, an se6 and an se8.

9:38 pm

nrkii

9:45 pm

nrkii

9:45 pm

10:02 pm

cathy22w

hey all

10:03 pm

Jacula

Hursh - actually, that things about dead people's ashes not being cheering isn't always true. My Mum and I watched a thing called Booze Cruise III on TV the other night... all about a group of people journeying to scatter someone's mother's ashes. It ws hilarious. Hursh - it's not so long since my Dad died. I'll tell you a story about that and his ashes in a moment.

10:03 pm

libarebel

yes, hurshy, i agreed w/you!

10:03 pm

nrkii

my carbon monoxide detector went off last night, interrupting a perfectly lovely session of babble

10:03 pm

hurshy

well nrkii, i've been offline for 7 hours (a record for non-sleeping time for me)

10:03 pm

libarebel

Hmm..--maybe a joke, hurshy?

10:04 pm

nrkii

after some internal debate and a quick phone call to mom for a sanity check and kick in the ar**, I called the fire department

hurshy

10:05 pm

nrkii

10:05 pm

Jacula

In the Booze Cruise tv programme, a lady said to her hubby (who had never liked her mother), 'You brought Mother's ashes home in a CARRIER BAG? ON THE BUS?' This reminded me of my Mum going off without telling me to get my Dad's ashes from the local undertaker's...

10:05 pm

Mum brought Dad's ashes home in her shopping bag with a loaf atop. (Well, she needed a loaf and he always did like a slice of bread with his gravy.) However, on he way home (when her arms were acheing and he was thinking, 'He was never this heavy in life!') someone stopped her and asked, 'How's your husband?' It's a small village we live in, most folks knew he'd been in the last stages of senile dementia & Parkinson's Disease for a while.

10:09 pm

Well, this time I mean it...I have to go...hubby will mope otherwise. Night all...Be happy, hursh!

Ah, the famous friendly's bush.

well my sophomore year i woke up one night, and wasn't sure why i'd woken up. i pulled back the curtain and looked out and saw fire trucks and flashing lights. thought nothing of it, fell back asleep. next thing i know a fireman in full gear is busting my door in yelling "what's the matter with you? didn't you hear the alarm? get out of here!" (i believe it was merely one of the burnt micro popcorn fires as it turned out, so he was really being overdramatic i think)

my father tells this great story about his grandfather, a Scot and a drunk, who had a glass eye. Old Jim Frazer used to go pick fights at the local bars in Hartford CT, and when the other guy would say, "let's step outside" he'd answer, "give me just a second" and he'd pop out his fake eye and put it on the bar!!!!

10:18 pm

jfarber

Unfortunately, it does snow here.

10:18 pm

Hursh - you had a fireman full of adrenalin and in full uniform in your room and you just told him not to be a drama queen??

10:18 pm

hurshy

but jfarber... if you write that in footprints in the snow... the space-time continuum might be in danger

10:18 pm

nrkii

Hursh, we used to just turn up the stereo very loud whenever the fire alarm went off in our dorm.

10:19 pm

hurshy

jac - i didn't tell him anything, he scared me half to death! i meekly got up and left the building.

10:19 pm

Hursh-- you were scantily clad w/ a firman in your room?

nrkii, that reminds me of when I got home to the dorms one morning after having snuck out the night before to hang out with my boyfriend (christian college) to discover all the rooms empty with alarm clocks going off everywhere. No one was in sight. There had been an electrical fire in the basement and the dorm had been evacuated. I thought...rapture...

10:20 pm

jfarber

And, um...that's where the annual beer festival is, isn't it?

10:20 pm

nrkii

Great Grandpa Jim Frazer used to also play the numbers game .. .and when he'd stumble home drunk and without money, my great grandma would give him a piece of her mind. At which point, he'd put up his index finger, weave back and forth, and say, "When I win my 10,000 dollars, you're not going to get one G** D**ned cent.... well... maybe I'll give you a buck."

10:20 pm

And if anyone has been following my Great Grandpa story, I'll bring it home now. When my parents were newly married, and broke, my father put some money in an office pool. My mother gave him a bit of a hard time, and as they were going to bed, he suddenly said to her, slurring, "When I win my $10,000, you're not going to get one GD cent! Well... maybe I'll give you a buck." My mother was terrified because my father had never told her the story!

a man's walking down the street and another man comes up and introduces himself, saying, "hi, i'm pete. you're the last person in the world that i've had to meet - now i know everybody in the world."

10:26 pm

10:26 pm

Hiya, Ren!

10:26 pm

naturally the man is skeptical of pete, so he stops some passerby and asks if they know this man

10:26 pm

Jacula

I am home, yes.

10:26 pm

I don't care about finishing the grid today. tell the joke, hursh.

10:26 pm

On home soil, so to speak.

"sure," says one, "me and pete go way back", "of course i know pete, says another"

10:27 pm

renfield

k - didn;t want the dawn to catch you!

10:27 pm

Jacula

Let's listen to Hurshy's joke...

10:27 pm

hurshy

after this happens several times the man is getting more and more perplexed. how can pete know everyone in the world. he challenges pete by taking him to various states but in each he cannot find a single person who hasn't met pete

10:28 pm

libarebel

hmmm...

10:28 pm

hurshy

finally they end up in vatican city. surely pete doesn't know the pope, he thinks. but pete goes right up to the pope and the pope greets pete with a smile of recognition and a hug.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Let Hursh do the punchline, please.

10:29 pm

hurshy

shaking his head in disbelief at pete up on the stage with the pope, his neighbor turns to him and says, "hey, who's that guy up there...

10:29 pm

hurshy

...next to pete?"

10:31 pm

I could explain it, but it'd make the joke less funny. Better to leave it stand.

10:32 pm

Jacula

Yes, nrkii, st4/4.

10:33 pm

though it's tempting to explain it because it's funny!

10:33 pm

ah, how i love earplugs

10:33 pm

libarebel

pete has more groupies than god?

10:34 pm

hurshy

well...than the pope

10:34 pm

hurshy

it's funny because the man thinks for a split second that he's finally found someone who doesn't know pete, but he DOES know pete but not the pope

10:35 pm

Wait, Pope who?

hey, I had a harry potter moment today ... I was weed-whacking my lawn in back yard, and suddenly a torrent of spiders went scurrying out of the grass and across the stone path into the neighbor's yard ... made me think of chamber of secrets and all those spiders bolting

10:35 pm

nrkii

night TO

10:35 pm

hurshy

lol... oooh nrkii!!!!!

10:36 pm

mab

I thought that by giving th end of the punchline I was explaining

10:36 pm

nrkii

and I HATE spiders, so I was just as glad to have them relocate

10:36 pm

hurshy

i could have had a harry potter moment but i refused to go near the sn5/18 (not in today's puzzle, i'm just scared of even the word)

10:37 pm

hurshy

i gave the end of the punchline, right after the beginning of the punchline. did people not see it? oh what a disastrous joke teller i am

10:37 pm

nrkii

I saw it Hurshy. Not sure what the sn 5/18 is though.

10:37 pm

hurshy

nrkii, generally i call them "BCs" (bad creatures)

10:38 pm

nrkii

ohhhhhh

10:38 pm

nrkii

not a fan of those either

10:38 pm

hurshy

even just the two letters "sn" together are kinda freaky enough because of BCs

10:39 pm

nrkii

by the way, during my lengthy description of last night's theatrics, did you all catch on to the fact that the YOUTH RESCUE SQUAD came to my house (in addition to the 2 policemen and 8 firemen)?

10:39 pm

hurshy

well i brought a student home today and his brother (also a student) has a PET BC in his ROOM. i did not go close enough to see. would probably have had a heart attack.

10:39 pm

when that happens, stand by and be ready to type into the chat the word "flip" or any variation on that you can come up with -- then ...

11:55 pm

jillibus

Bow and wow to stid!

11:55 pm

nrkii

and this is important...

11:56 pm

nrkii

move your curser to the ADD WORD box before you start typing in words

11:56 pm

stidmama

and when "The Flip" happens your score is over and the whole word count and all reset to zero.

11:56 pm

ShadeEagle

because there's always one person who doesn't do that

11:56 pm

stidmama

and it's often one of us who think we know better...

11:56 pm

nrkii

but be prepared that at some point you will be in the chat, and you will type a word guess in the chat by mistake

11:56 pm

nrkii

and we will all forgive you

11:56 pm

nrkii

once

11:57 pm
