12:14 am

libarebel

12:15 am

stidmama

12:15 am

stidmama

well, it's running faster at least!

12:15 am

harpjane

12:16 am

stidmama

12:18 am

wassup

12:18 am

Nani

hi everyone!!

12:18 am

Nani

12:20 am

stidmama

12:21 am

Cat9x

I have never had any trouble getting onto this site, but these past few days off and on the site is unavailable.

12:21 am

harpjane

what's our icon theme for the day?

12:22 am

stidmama

12:22 am

wassup

th 7

12:22 am

stidmama

yes Cat, it's been very peculiar at times this past week. More so than usual.

12:23 am

hetty

Well, hoop-de-doo and what have we here? Having been thoroughly stymied for over an hour I've now made a START with the ARTS and I dont care who knows it so there!

12:23 am

Cat9x

I wonder why? I know nothing of things like this, I only know I miss my bable when it's gone :)

12:24 am

stidmama

hi hetty! did you have a good afternoon? I was thinking -- Irish harp?

12:24 am

libarebel

handbags, harpjane--m/f :)

12:25 am

Bowdy

was it just me or was the babble site dead for te past couple of hours??

12:25 am

Cat9x

deader than a doornail :)

12:25 am

hetty

Yup, a Celtic one. But I no longer play at all well. It's just an instrument you have to play as if you love it--stroking the strings.

12:26 am

stidmama

yes, a dear friend is an excellent harpist. You would like her. I haven't had the time to try to learn, but someday... :-)

12:27 am

saphyre

hi again everyone

12:27 am

saphyre

i had 4 words to enter and couldn't finish , very frustrating

12:27 am

stidmama

hi saphyre! I think maybe the old grid was just tired earlier...

12:27 am

libarebel

hi,saphyre

12:27 am

jillibus

nice to be back -- but where are lickety's f's?

12:27 am

hetty

"Farewell--but if ever you welcome the hour that awakens the night songs of love in your bower/ Remember the friend who once welcomed them too, and forgot her own griefs to be happy with you--

12:28 am

wassup

cat, was just reading your profile. I'm so sorry about your mother.

12:28 am

hetty

Stid m'dear, don't wait too long

12:28 am

12:28 am

saphyre

12:29 am

saphyre

oops sorry

libarebel

12:29 am

Cat9x

how vwry thoughtful stid, thank you

12:29 am

melonheadjujube

cat9x: our moms were similar age, as are we; i lost mine just over a year ago. i feel for you. i miss my mom, but do feel relief that the suffering is behind her.

12:31 am

stidmama

(and good night Alan) :-)

12:31 am

melonheadjujube

word that isn't there that i wish was: froth

12:32 am

Cat9x

I am so sorry melon. It's a terrible loss, but agree, theyre suffering is over. Thats a comfort.

12:32 am

Golux13

i keep wanting to find trowel

12:33 am

hetty

Long, long may our hearts with these memories be filled/ Like a vase in which roses have once been distilled--you may break, you may shatter the vase if you will/ But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Good night all, blessings

12:33 am

Cat9x

The one thing that comforts me too, is that I was there when she took her last breath. As she was there when I took mine.

12:34 am

Cat9x

meant my first breathe

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

tx cat, one of my mom's legacies is my love of word games. that's why i like to drop in & babble a bit :)

12:34 am

Cat9x

I am a terrible typist, please excuse my mess at times

12:35 am

wassup

That's a really sweet thought cat. Never thought of it that way.

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

my kids grew tremendously visiting & caring for their gramma.

12:35 am

Cat9x

Mine too melon, my Mom loved word games, I got my love of them from her.

12:35 am

Cat9x

ty wassup, it meant alot to me to be there with her.

12:35 am

stidmama

Cat, so far everything has been understandable! this late at night, I either start typing really slowly or I erase a whole bunch...

12:36 am

Uncagain

it figures, I finished a grid and my computer wouldnt load up the game again for three hours

12:36 am

debbinla

hey cat - that was really beautiful

12:36 am

Unicorn

wassup

that just means we are destined to finish today. :)

12:40 am

wassup

lol cat.

12:40 am

stidmama

there is also another word that is one consonant different from the bird... I think it was in yesterday's grid as well

12:42 am

Cat9x

is it bad when you get stuck at the very first word? lol My brain isn't functioning.....

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

tx stid, hmmm that's the name of a road near me - thought it was only a proper noun - it always pays to guess.

12:42 am

stidmama

My monkeys have been working overtime the last couple of days!

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

wa 7/44 anyone? i've got all but 3 Ws.

12:42 am

jillibus

despite the rules this game seems to be full of proper nouns!

12:43 am

Cat9x

yikes, I am still one the U..lol

12:43 am

froelica

i keep seeing erotic, then forcing myself not to see it, but it always comes back

12:43 am

Golux13

wa7 = a spendthrift

12:43 am

wassup

haha!

12:44 am

stidmama

some proper nouns (names especially) were originally descriptions of landmarks or jobs... others have gone from being an inventor name to being the invention

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

froelica, maybe you need to go to bed? ;)

12:44 am

stidmama

thanks Golux!

12:44 am

12:46 am

libarebel

ty golux!

12:47 am

froelica

its a disease, you cant hate me for it...

12:47 am

Golux13

between plural ugly bumps and a ne'er-do-well, a former way of saying formerly existed

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

12:47 am

stidmama

would you believe I had that 7 and hadn't pluraled?

1:02 am

jillibus

stid, you're amazing

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

one thing i've learner, stidmama is it don't hurt to pluralize everything. this would be a whole 'nuther game if bad guesses were penalized.

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

learned - but you knew that - cant tpye

1:04 am

scatty

MORNING

1:04 am

froelica

yeah, that would be insane. we'd all have mega negative points... the point of the game would be to try to break even eventually : )

1:04 am

stidmama

:-) I am just not thinking clearly this time of day... at least my typing is keeping up with my slower brain!

1:04 am

stidmama

good morning Scatty! how's the weather today? how are you?

1:04 am

Uncagain

that is not enough hi 5/12 for me on the venice thing

1:05 am

scatty

at the moment really sunny, rained yesterday, i went to bed at 7pm, was shattered, have just woke up

1:05 am

melonheadjujube

stid - have you shortened the Venetian illness? there's a 6 2 7's & an 8

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

clever Uncagain, clever. Thomas Mann - what did they die of?

1:06 am

stidmama

terrible deaths linked to stagnant water and mosquitos, still a problem in many places. thanks melonhead! I got them now!

1:06 am

Uncagain

ah, the light dawns, sickly though it may be

1:06 am

Blaze

Thank you from me too

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

1:07 am

stidmama

I didn't work outside at all today (Sunday) spent some time with my mother running errands, and a bit babbling, but otherwise a lost day -- too drizly for gardening fun.

1:08 am

scatty

i still have about 200 plants i'm trying to give away as i have made my hanging backets and filled about 2 dozen pots and have no more space, i can't plant in the soil as we will have to move in the near future

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

hey, my poppies opened this weekend! oriental type, deep cherry red, about 7" across - spectacular!

1:09 am

stidmama

good for you melonhead! I have just a few this year -- I think I'll need to reseed next Spring. but they are so cheerful and bright!

1:10 am

stidmama

I am sorry you will have to move -- do any of your neighbors want starts? or people at the grocery or library...

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

now, the last 2 CHs 6,24 & 7,36. they follow hard work.

1:10 am

Uncagain

I dont have the right kind of discipline for this. I find it very difficult to start in one corner and do all the words, or start with the a and go to the z

1:11 am

scatty

i have never grown poppys, i might try some next year, my petunias hace started to flower though and the tomato (cherry) are growing well

1:11 am

stidmama

I don't do that Unc! I see what hits me between the eyes, then if I use the list I often start from the bottom. But i constantly scan the chat for the ones I don't have.

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

i tried starting the oriental poppies from seed w/no luck. started them from nursery plants, had to move them to a sunnier spot. took 3 years in all to the 1st bloom - well worth the wait. have divided them several times siince. they like dry sunny location.

1:12 am

i tried starting the oriental poppies from seed w/no luck. started them from nursery plants, had to move them to a sunnier spot. took 3 years in all to the 1st bloom - well worth the wait. have divided them several times siince. they like dry sunny location.

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

also did iceland popies for the 1st time. they are colorful east bienniels - so i hear.

1:13 am

Uncagain

hmm, well it that is good enough for u to do, it is certainly good enough for me too

1:13 am

stidmama

I think poppies might be easy for you scatty -- they do well here, so ought to be good for you. They like to grow on the side of our gravel driveway.

1:13 am

scatty

i'd better get my head down and find some words, see you later

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

unc - don't be too hard on yourself. have you ever played Boggle?

1:13 am

stidmama

later scatty!

1:14 am

Uncagain

I am generally thought of as a pretty good boggler

1:14 am

stidmama

iceland poppies are lovely -- they require slightly different conditions from the others... they haven't done as well for me.

1:14 am

jillibus

we had to have ch***** shots in China so it's not just venetian. The bug's name is vibrio ch***** (bacteriology memory).

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

true, venice was a literary reference.

1:14 am

scatty

stid, i'd probably plant them at the front of the house, the ground is really shallow there, mainly rocks and rubbish in the soil

1:15 am

scatty

i'm going now, see you later

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

Unc - this is just boggle with a huge vocabulary & a bunch of eccentric kibbitzers.

i'm really dense because i can't think of that archaic dismissal

2:53 am

Jillibus, only reason I know it at all is that we had it a lot of times in other grids. Try this:
Ar + flexible connection between two bodyparts minus first letter.

2:53 am

Unicorn

i was wrong all im getting for a definition is antique... but that doesn't make sense

2:53 am

kierlex

unicorn, i just googled archaic article of dismissal and it helped

morning sprite. pity I couldn't take my PC with me! I'm sure hubby would have loved me babbling all day while we were on holiday!

3:10 am

sprite

Hehe, nothing wrong with going cold turkey for a while. I don't take my laptop with me on holidays either :)

3:10 am

3:11 am

Owwwwww!

3:12 am

Cat9x

awww :) Wonderful pic!

3:12 am

sprite

And fireworks as well :) Any clues needed before I split?

3:13 am

Atalante

that guy breeds Norwegian Forest Cats - he takes the most *amazing* photos of them all!

3:13 am

Cat9x

congrats sprite!

3:13 am

sprite

Beautiful kind of cat too.

3:13 am

jillibus

yes, cat -- have you found lw 4/8?

3:14 am

Cat9x

they are gorgeous cats! The one on the right looks like my Nikki!

3:14 am

Atalante

and talking of cats, why isn't tortie allowed!!

3:14 am

Cat9x

lw? yikes, now I will go look :)

3:15 am

jillibus

i'm half asleep - sprite got fireworks already??? so you know the lw?

3:16 am

sprite

Lw4 is a currency, another babblet.

3:16 am

Cat9x

I don't know ata, it should be!

3:17 am

Cat9x

my monkey is busy typing away, lw , hmmmm

3:17 am

jillibus

got lw by looking at the list <blush>

3:17 am

sprite

It needs two different vowels, Cat.

3:18 am

Cat9x

ty sprite

3:19 am

Cat9x

no shame in looking at the list or getting help jilli. I never get one quarter of these words without some help

3:19 am

sprite

What list do you mean, jillibus? Lickety's page?

3:19 am

jillibus

100 lw** = 1 kwanza in Angola. Aren't you glad you asked?

3:20 am

jillibus

The A-Z list on Lickety's page

3:20 am

Cat9x

my monkey hasn't found it yet

3:21 am

mattygroves

LW?!

3:21 am

sprite

When I started babbling, someone told me (I believe it was Atalante) that only looking up the actual words through a solver was considered cheating. All the rest was... research :)

3:21 am

mattygroves

How do you mean a solver?

3:22 am

Cat9x

my monkey is getting tired lol

3:22 am

Atalante

me? wow, I'm clever sometimes :) But I agree - how are you meant to learn without be interested and looking stuff up!

3:22 am

sprite

Cat, tell your monkey to go hunt vowels only. There aren't too many possibilities then :)

3:23 am

Cat9x

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

Cat9x

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

Cat9x

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

Cat9x

yikes, sorry

3:24 am

sprite

I have lost track of how many words I learned through babble. I usually look up the def of words that I do not know too. It is fun ;)

3:24 am

sprite

matty, there are some online solvers that solve entire grids.

3:24 am

Cat9x

yayyy! he found it, good monkey :)

3:25 am

sprite

Yeah for Cat's monkey!

3:25 am

Cat9x

3:27 am

sprite

Do you have the russian monarch too?

3:27 am

jillibus

good cat, using good monkey

3:27 am

Cat9x

ts4/4? yes, ty :)

3:27 am

Cat9x

3:29 am

sprite

No more clues needed? Then I will take my leave :)
Have a great day/night/whatever and happy hunting all!

3:32 am

cehess

3:33 am

cehess

3:33 am

Unicorn

3:33 am

cehess

Hehe, thank you though, I bet that will help

3:34 am

jillibus

gee thanks for that def, sprite

3:34 am

sprite

Terrible, isn't it? ;)
OL + vowel + 1st 3 letters of what racers are trying to reach first

3:35 am

Atalante

is it really sad that I understood that definition?

3:35 am

cehess

Shows you've had too much sleep, Ata :)

3:35 am

sprite

No, it just proves you have a superior brain to all of us, Ata ;)

3:36 am

jillibus

sadder that i 've forgotten my organic chem & biochem

3:36 am

cehess

Thanks sprite! That did it.

3:36 am

Atalante

or spent too many years studying chemistry!

3:37 am

sprite

It's not the studying, Ata, it's the remembering that makes that brain superior :)

3:38 am

Atalante

shame I can't remember *that* much of it then!

7:44 am

Haz1558

Thanks Jen for the wa7.

7:44 am

Jen

czes

what's the word that starts with "un"?

7:45 am

czes

any clues?

7:45 am

Kukana

Oh, I just got the fl8. Strange word. You can tell from those before and after what five letters it has to start with, then it ends with a comparative suffix.

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

un5 doesn't work out at the gym

7:45 am

Jen

un5: out of shape

7:45 am

KittyVane

Wo-hoo! Half way through and I haven't even gone to the list yet. :)

mrpresident

wa7 - one who spends too much on prada handbags!!

7:46 am

Merk

fl 8 comes after what you do in the water or a root beer fl*. But it comes before what the ice cream is in the fl* I cannot find a new ending on the fl 5 to make the fl 8

7:46 am

Eva

thanks mrp!!! Merp seems to have moved from rage into a deep depression. I really shouldn't torture him this way. Please don't report me. I'll make it up to him later by playing with dental floss (his favorite)

7:46 am

Eva

bye! (for real this time)

7:47 am

Haz1558

Merk - make the fl5 more so.

Haz1558

Bye Katie!

7:52 am

mrpresident

Bye all for real!! Hewitt need my support! ((Go Nadal))... did I say that??

7:53 am

Haz1558

Talk about divided loyalties. You'll be happy no matter who wins!

7:53 am

mrpresident

this keyboard has a mind of it's own!! ciao!

7:54 am

mattygroves

Yah - I had a 'word couldn't be added' message, and it's slow again.

7:54 am

Haz1558

Oh dear - hopefully it won't spread. It's so frustrating.

8:00 am

EvaNadine

i had those errors all night last night...finally just gave up...

8:00 am

SueMagee

Sometimes words aren't registering in the tile stats. My T on the top line went from 1/7 to 5/7 when I refreshed the page.

Hi templeowl

Good morning, everyone. How's the grid today?

8:03 am

72 Temple Owl

i have managed to finish despite - but my rankin gis still going down - i think i'll pass for now.

8:04 am

Haz1558

I haven't been in touch, Atalante, and don't know if others have contacted him.

8:05 am

Atalante

I hope he can *sighs*

8:05 am

Haz1558

An alternative clue for fo4/8 would be to have the same ending as JFK's first name.

8:05 am

Haz1558

I hope he can as well!!

8:07 am

M3

thanks haz

8:09 am

Haz1558

Glad to help M3 - you sounded a little frustrated with it....

8:09 am

M3

yeah i was fours i easy to guess normaly x

8:11 am

Atalante

I wish Silverclaw would realise that I can't magic cat food out of thin air, and that she'll just have to wait for a few hours for the nice Tesco's delivery to come!!

8:13 am

Haz1558

I've never had a cat, but judging from the comments of the cat owners, they certainly make their food requirements known!

8:13 am

Atalante

she has food in her bowl, just not her *preferred* food LOL

8:14 am

Anniebrook

Having had 2 cats I firmly believed they owned me, not the other way.

8:14 am

Charm

Morning, all.
No cats here, but the dog will flip his empty dish and roll it around the kitchen to bring it's sad state to my attention.

8:14 am

Haz1558

And I suppose the phrase ' Beggars can't be choosers' will mean nothing to her!

8:14 am

EvaNadine

mine are the same way Atalante!
they always have dry food set out, but they want the wet food...

8:14 am

SueMagee

I think it was Matty who said to me that dogs have masters, cats have staff.

8:15 am

EvaNadine

true haz -- cats arent beggars, they are demanders!
hehe

8:15 am

Atalante

for once LOL this is the other way round - she has wet food and wants her dry food!

8:15 am

EvaNadine

my friend has a magnet on her fridge that says "there is no such thing as a cat owner"

8:15 am

Anniebrook

I was definitely the staff including the entire family.

8:15 am

Charm

We also used to have a rabbit who wouldn't eat the cheap pellets but *had* to have the expensive stuff from a distant pet supply store.

8:15 am

EvaNadine

tith

8:16 am

EvaNadine

*oopsie*

8:16 am

Anniebrook

Well, we all have our favorite foods too.

8:16 am

Haz1558

I wonder do cats get together and compare notes on how well they have manipulated the humans?

8:17 am

Atalante

Sily's just a year old - so she's moving from kitten food to adult food - the wet food is kitten food, the dry food is Adult "I am a Big Cat" food ...

8:17 am

shorty

evan you could of done a word that in the dictionary!!!!!!

8:17 am

Charm

I don't know about being a dog's master. When mine returns from a weekend at the kennel (as today), he won't even LOOK at me until I've groveled, scratched, offered treats, and generally apologized for even being here. you've not been insulted until you've been ignored by the dog.

8:17 am

EvaNadine

if they do, they just sit about and laugh at us, im sure!

8:18 am

EvaNadine

shush up shorty...hehe....
;)

8:18 am

shorty

LOL

8:19 am

EvaNadine

cats just generally ignore you.
until they need something from you...
but then they still let you know that the only reason you are worthy oftheir attention is because they need you for a moment, then they will go back to ignoring you...

8:19 am

Anniebrook

Exactly, evan

8:20 am

Haz1558

Charm - how long does the dog go on punishing you?

8:23 am

EvaNadine

anyone have a clue for the N on the right?

8:24 am

Atalante

my dog is looking like I hate her and have ignored her all day ... silly thing. she's only had hours of cuddles and food and a kong full of doggie chocolate and gravy bones adn a long walk ....

8:24 am

Charm

Haz - it lasts about half the day, then he recovers by the time my husband comes home and is acting normally. My husband never believes me when I describe Wolfie's earlier behavior!

8:26 am

Haz1558

Well, at least it's not for too long. We've never experienced that with our dog, but then we've always had family looking after her when we are on holiday, so maybe that makes the difference.

8:26 am

saphyre

Bye evanadine - have a good day.

Oh, he's a great dog. he just gets miffed about being left. He'll come home and check out all his toys, play with the baby, then nap-nap-nap.

8:28 am

Haz1558

tr5/10 - a characteristic element

8:28 am

8:35 am

For those who like to learn new words, the ol 4 (spelled with either "e" or "i") means a blend; it signifies not only margarine but also the pre-show act in vaudeville in which each performer introduced himself /herself to the audience by means of a brief sample of his/her performing skill

9:49 am

EvaNadine

well, i waited long enough to give them ample opportunity to clean it up...i realize my desk is rather messy, but i prefer not to keep it flat out DIRTY!
i swear, all they do is come in + empty the garbage cans -- and sometimes they dont even give you a new can liner, they just dump out the contents of the trash + put the can back with the old, dirty liner!

and god forbid you ask them to vaccuum!

9:49 am

miametro

any clues on the ci's? i have the one that's like money, but not.

9:50 am

9:50 am

mattygroves

10:22 am

smithchick

Okay, I've got to go to girls' camp tomorrow...Fortunately, it's not as hot as it could be. How are you? Are you in treatment?

10:22 am

Uncagain

but if u are buying an st5/10, it is not a skunk , it is a fi***

10:23 am

Munner

Been there, done that, and most of the time it was really fun. One year we even got to do rapelling and whitewater rafting.

10:23 am

smithchick

It is fun, except that every once in a while someone didn't properly tarp there tent and became drenched in a torrential downpour!

10:24 am

smithchick

How's that for some mixing of the tenses,there!

10:25 am

Munner

I start chemo again tomorrow for three cycles. Not looking forward to it, but hope the end result will be good. My nurse sister says this time it will be like putting my hand back in the blender! since I know how awful the side effects are.

10:27 am

Uncagain

Munner, my heart is with you. I wish the very best for you .

10:27 am

abe79

best of luck Munner

10:27 am

smithchick

I hate that for you, Munner...I know some people who can actually go through it with no side effects. Boggles the mind. I hope it does what it is supposed to and you don't suffer too much for it:)
How long do the cycles last?

10:41 am

Munner

Thank you all for kind wishes. I have to take steroids the day before treatment, the day of, and the day after so will probably be hitting the puzzle in the wee hours of the night. Then I get zapped, but it may be better this time as I have had 9 months off, actually 6 months since radiation.

10:41 am

10:55 am

stidmama

10:56 am

hetty

Morning Stid my love. Yes, its funky today. But a workable grid, methinks

10:56 am

Angelsong

I noted with some interest a new thread on BA having to do with Babblers' Blogs. is there any objection to my including a section for Babblers' Blogs on the Resource page?

10:56 am

stidmama

yes, I got down to 83 to go before I got tired last night. Still listless, so hopeful this will not take the entire day.

10:56 am

abe79

it seems to be going quickly so far...

10:57 am

stidmama

Hi Angelsong! it's an interesting thought -- I think it might be fun to see what others write...

10:57 am

10:57 am

stid i just had trouble connecting, now the words wont go in

10:57 am

Munner

smithchick, let me try this once again. Back to camping--I had never gone camping as a kid. When we lived in Germany, my husband and I bought a huge tent and took a 3 week camping trip through Germany, ferried to Denmark and up through Sweden. It gave us some great memories.

10:58 am

stidmama

oh oggy, things were bad when I first logged in, but seem better now. I have no idea why the site has been so strange recently -- I know IronSudoku has also had some trouble.

10:58 am

Munner

We had three kids, 8, 3, and 1. It was about this time of year and our little 1 year old Lars would wake up about 2 am because the sun came up then and he wouldn't go back to sleep.

10:59 am

oggy

stid its ok now

I think I'd better explain that I have had to take some Benadryl for hives -- they seem to still be spreading, so I may have to take more. If my posts get rambling.... you'll know why! :-)

12:21 pm

it's unfortunate, definitely. i didn't babble yesterday ( i made a deal with hubby), but other babblers had problems and couldn't finish also

12:26 pm

CadFan

ok - the vinegar clue isn't cutting it for me - I've tried every combination I can come up wiht

12:26 pm

hurshy

yeah that clue is a bit off

12:27 pm

abe79

the trick is, cadfan (it took me awhile too) is the incorporate the vinegar partner with the other vowel. let me see if i can think of another way to state it

12:27 pm

hurshy

you should put th + vowel + the anagram

12:27 pm

abe79

thanks hurshy

12:27 pm

hurshy

and start from the lower t

12:28 pm

gramma

thoiol

12:28 pm

caitlyn

12:28 pm

abe79

with that said, i'm going to lunch now. see you all later

12:28 pm

gramma

sorry! not it

12:28 pm

CadFan

hmm.. then then I am thinking of the wrong this to mix with vinegar

12:29 pm

caitlyn

LOL gramma
Bye abe

12:29 pm

misshoax

may i please have a hint for the re8/55?

12:29 pm

CadFan

gramma - I'm trying the same thigns you are...

12:29 pm

hurshy

cadfan if you tried that then you are thinking of the right thing to mix with vinegar

12:29 pm

CadFan

re+ what a boat does + plural

12:29 pm

hurshy

a boat other than the titanic that is...

12:29 pm

CadFan

okay - then I'm just not coming up with the right combos

12:30 pm

gwenski

gramma was really close! I finally got it. First three letters are correct, then mix up the last.

12:30 pm

misshoax

thanks cadfan..wasn't thinking.

12:30 pm

hurshy

it's very greek looking if that helps

12:30 pm

CadFan

okay - I got it.. I was trying to make the anagram start with a vowel

12:30 pm

gramma

I got the 5/12. I was looking for the 6. the 5 is th + 1st person pronoun and the 1st 2 letters of a Spanish cheer

12:30 pm

CadFan

LOL good one Hurshy!

12:31 pm

hurshy

gramma the six is th + vowel + different anagram than you used for the 5

2:34 pm

Haz1558

The latin plural can be given a different vowel ending again.

2:35 pm

hurshy

brilliant, thanks haz!

2:35 pm

boreetos

hi haz!

2:35 pm

jbp

i don't get the latin plural clue?

2:35 pm

2:37 pm

jillibus

2:37 pm

2:39 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks. got the 5 and 6, looking for the 8...

2:39 pm

Haz1558

No, jbp - take the last letter from the vermin to get the greek colonnade, then work the plurals from there.

2:39 pm

jbp

ah, gotcha

2:39 pm

jbp

to douglas. Haz, you've lost me again

2:39 pm

2:41 pm

Douglas

When I was in Edinburgh two weeks ago, I took a picture that include the Firth of *****

2:41 pm

Haz1558

Okay, have you got the st5/10 - the furry creature? Take away the last letter, you have a greek colonnade (who'd have thought?). Then you can make it a latin plural by adding a vowel, then replace it with another vowel for another st5/10

2:41 pm

hurshy

kierlex - babble's been having troubles on and off for several days

2:41 pm

kierlex

2:43 pm

jillibus

2:46 pm

Anniebrook

Kierlex, I guess Babble rules.

2:46 pm

kierlex

he has brought in snakes, bats, mice, squirrels and a baby bunny! i want to know how he caught the bat!

2:46 pm

jbp

yeah, my old cat Jarl used to drop them on the floor and then pick them up and play handball (pawball?) with them against the wall.

2:47 pm

kierlex

thx stid, i am feeling better after taking some migraine drugs. as long as i do not move my head i am fine. thus, babble is perfect =)

.yes, we'll have the watch ready for you at midnight.......the watch.....the Chinese watch....yes, right-oh, bye-bye.....mother (he hangs up phone) Anyway I decided to open a high class night club for the gentry at Biggleswade withInternational cuisine and cooking and top line acts, and not a cheap clip joint for picking up ***** -- that was right out, I deny that completely --, and one evening in walks Dinsdale with a couple of big lads, one of whom was carrying a tactical nuclear missile.

5:05 pm

FranMag

merk, the 5/18 sounds like the to*** of london, change first vowel

5:06 pm

FranMag

6/30 is the plural and the last 5/18 starts with the first 3 letters and ends with a suffix that makes it an adjective

5:06 pm

5:26 pm

FranMag

hetty, the ta4/4s are coin and weight for cargo

5:27 pm

hetty

the second one takes the second vowel after tr--means a specail gift or titbit

5:27 pm

FranMag

5:35 pm

FranMag

hetty first 5/18 sounds like to*** of london, change first vowel

5:35 pm

FranMag

the last 5/18 has same first 3 letters then add suffix that makes it an adjective

5:36 pm

oggy

5:36 pm

lmj643

5:36 pm

5:37 pm

Erda

St*** of Messina

5:37 pm

FranMag

next st6/18 is a narrow body of water connecting two large bodies of water

FranMag

another st6/18 is layers

5:38 pm

lmj643

5:40 pm

5:43 pm

Anniebrook

5:43 pm

FranMag

thanks annie!

5:44 pm

oggy

ch + what bullfighters shout + hook letter

5:44 pm

FranMag

thanks oggy, that was the one!

5:45 pm

Erda

then add a vowel, then pluralize it

5:45 pm

FranMag

thanks erda, i saw all the rest as soon as i got that word!

5:46 pm

Erda

But of course, Fran!!

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

Erda

5:47 pm

FranMag

5:47 pm

oggy

5:48 pm

FranMag

the tr5/18 is to fish the way big fishing boats do

5:52 pm

Anniebrook

hetty, do you need the metal lamp bases are made of???

5:53 pm

anders

the ot is driving me mad ... any clues?

5:53 pm

Anniebrook

anders, ot** refers to the ears, i think

5:54 pm

anders

doh! was monkey-typing the wrong ot ...

5:54 pm

libarebel

ot4/5--o + facial twitch

5:55 pm

hetty

Franmag, I have the one that's all vowels after the "t"; the one hat's a part og "hoity to**y!"; the 2 thgat add 2 different vowels afterv the stick; the one for the Jewish dance (Old Testament?) an4 others that feature the "r"

5:55 pm

Anniebrook

anders, do you have it?

5:56 pm

anders

got it thanks so much

5:56 pm

FranMag

that looks like all the 4/4s hetty, maybe it's a higher point 4 that you need

5:56 pm

Anniebrook

hetty, t*** t + what bullfighters say

5:57 pm

hetty

With my crazy typing trhat probbaly doesn't add up to a lot of sense-- in my list the missing to4 comes between the 2 with the "l" plus either "e" or "u''

5:58 pm

Erda

I have 6 to**s -- is that it?

5:58 pm

FranMag

hetty, there isn't one there, i think you're missing the to4/7 that sounds like what miss muffet sat on

5:58 pm

hetty

so I have the word you've clued, Annnie, and also a word that looks like TOFU gone wrong. What's between them?

5:59 pm

Erda

six to 4/4s, I mean

5:59 pm

Anniebrook

searching, dont have the list, will try

5:59 pm

FranMag

erda, there are 7 to4/4s, but more 4s with higher points

6:00 pm

Erda

ahhh -- thank you, Fran

6:00 pm

FranMag

erda, also a to4/5 and a to4/7

6:01 pm

anders

I have a th 5/12 that rhymes with fur wrap. Could you guys clue me the other?

6:01 pm

hetty

Youre right, Franmag. As so often happens I had ordered my words wrongly. I wouldn't ever finish without the help you pals so willigly give. Now can I give something back, please?

6:01 pm

FranMag

anders, add a consonant to the th4/5 that sounds like a man's name

6:02 pm

hetty

It rhymes with "viol"

6:02 pm

FranMag

yay hetty!!!

6:02 pm

Anniebrook

*******congrats, hetty**********!!!!!

6:02 pm
