1:08 am

BGL

1:08 am

helenkeller

i am just going to adopt the policy to put words into that chat that i see in the grid, but really aren't there - that makes me feel better

1:08 am

helenkeller

LOL bgl

1:09 am

BGL

I tried fennel also. I've tried linear too

1:09 am

kristinc

BGL...my husband is a pastor and I work at the church directing our children's ministry...where do you work at?

1:09 am

Helen, you have succeeded in making me see words that aren't there too! ;)

1:10 am

1:10 am

BGL

I am Associate PAstor of Christian Education at First United Presbyterian Church of DuBois, PA... how's that for a title?

1:11 am

helenkeller

kris - i really like your quote about love :)

1:12 am

helenkeller

sounds like something adler might have said (?)

1:12 am

kristinc

thanks helen...it's a philosophy that served me well :)

1:12 am

BGL

kristin, did you finish yesterday's grid? I think I wrnt to bed before you had... of course not I'm back at the computer...

1:13 am

kristinc

BGL...I did with over an hour to spare. Thanks for your help!

1:14 am

kristinc

did anders finish? anyone know?

1:14 am

BGL

Is your husband a solo pastor or is he on a staff?

1:16 am

kristinc

BGL...just me as the only other staff and even that is new (part time). Small church, about 80 in our congregation, we're in North Seattle. Love what we do btw.

1:18 am

BGL

I understand the love. I usually look forward toe ach day of work, especially if it is a day I'm working with the children or youth. Ours is a small church to have 2 pastors (about 150 regualr worshippers). But they are committed to children and youth ministry.

1:18 am

kristinc

and with that, I should go to be because I do need to work tomorrow. Thanks for the chat folks, good luck on the puzzle (seems easier than yesterday)

1:19 am

kristinc

keep up the good work BGL...nice to know what you do!

1:19 am

BGL

See you later, Kristin. Good night

7:04 am

Eva

To those of you from the school-we welcome everyone, not matter what their ages....we'd lvoe to have you play with us. But a lot of us have been playing this game with each other for a long time and there are sort of informal "rules" about how to join in. We don't abbreviate, at least not much, because we love words and speaking proper english. We do often chat about non-babble things, to get to know each other and when we are stuck, but we do it knowing that it is not a private conversation, but includes everyone listening. And we try hard to be kind and polite.

7:04 am

Good afternoon, dear gang

hello Sprite!!

7:10 am

Unicorn

7:10 am

Eva

thanks sarah! Who ever would have thunk it?

7:10 am

Eva

hi sprite!

7:11 am

sprite

Just came in. How's the grid?
Oh hurshy, are you there?

7:11 am

amandacath

Hi Sprite! You timed your entrance well - I think most of the verbose adolescents have left us

7:11 am

sprite

Was it bad again?

7:12 am

Unicorn

yes it was almost as bad as two days ago

7:12 am

amandacath

It got a little ugly for a while, but for the most part it's not bad, just too much of it

7:12 am

Unicorn

at least Miss ABS was here yasterday

7:13 am

Eva

I think its just going to take them a little while and a little guidance in terms of learning how to apprpirately use the site. Then the ones who really enjoy playing will stick around and the others will go back to MSN

7:13 am

sprite

Yes, things are definitely better when she is on. Still it's too bad it has to be like that.

7:13 am

Eva

Does anyone have direct access to Miss ABS?

7:14 am

mrpresident

One of the teenagers was being rude! but they are gone!
Most of the kids are nice and need a little introduction to community chats, that's all! please have patience !!
As far as the rude and disrespectful ones go... leave them to me!!!

7:14 am

mrpresident

Eva, I do... and I am on it! We talk often

7:14 am

sprite

Some are nice, but a select few is nasty.

7:15 am

Merk

Good morning everyone

7:15 am

Merk

Back from my morning walk

7:16 am

mrpresident

Yep Sprite, and she has warned me who they are! It is best to let her know cause she can have influence, but even sometimes they ignore her!
She has asked me to give them warnings and I am now doing that.

7:16 am

amandacath

...and abe! And Merk!

7:16 am

Eva

Thanks mrp! I guess the major guidelines I would offer are: 1) That except for very brief interchanges, this should not be used for one-on-one conversations 2) Regular English 3) Have some patience and spend time working on the grid themselves before asking for help

7:16 am

abe79

goodmorning phlox! and amandacath

7:16 am

bluephlox

if you read my blog- i bash CUP:)

7:17 am

Merk

How is today's puzzle .. shorter than yesterday's I see.

7:17 am

Babbledude

has normal service resumed : )

7:17 am

sprite

That's a good thing, mrP. For those willing to learn and adapt a little, there is room enough ;)
Only wish they'd leave the chatty chat to msn, not here.

7:17 am

Unicorn

my mind aint working on this puzzle today LOL

7:17 am

sprite

Eva, I totally agree :)

7:18 am

Merk

So I should drink my coffee first before attacking it? Is that what you're saying Unicorn?

7:18 am

mrpresident

If you guys are worried about giving warning and following through, don't be!
Tell the little buggers off and tell them I will come after them! I have no fear of Australian adolescent bully kids!

7:18 am

sprite

You are a woman, Merk. You can multitask ;)

7:18 am

Merk

That's why I left for my walk, figuring some would have left by now.

7:19 am

Merk

All the time.

7:19 am

abe79

7:19 am

Will do, mrP. Only wish I did not have to tell anyone off, I come here for a nice round of babble and fun, lol.

7:19 am

Eva

mrp-do you know them personally?

7:20 am

Babbledude

7:20 am

bluephlox

thanks abe- i figured why hold back- i was in a "hater" mood

7:20 am

mrpresident

And Miss ABS is terribly worried that you guys are upset with the students being online... she has no control over that... but I do!! Let me who is spoiling the party and they are gone!

7:20 am

Jacula

Safe to come back in now? I've found myself 126 words during 'playtime'.

7:20 am

abe79

7:21 am

amandacath

7:21 am

Good job, mrP! Miss ABS is not responsible for the conduct of the students. But if you have some control, I love that :)

Hi Jac, seems it is safe now :)

7:21 am

Eva

spent a lot of my life running an adolescent day treatment center and then working with slightly older ones at Harvard, so enjoy adolescent energy and think it's great when they have a place they can hang out with adults, but limits are always useful

7:21 am

Merk

I'm blond so I loved the ai words today.

7:22 am

sprite

True, mrP. Well, always willing to help. But patience is NOT my middle name, lol.

7:22 am

8:41 am

sprite

It's a milestone, the Piercing of the Ears :)
My daughter had it done 2 years ago, at 6 too. And she still is proud of it.

8:43 am

musicmom

I can't believe how my girls are growing up. Sarah really looks like a young lady any more

8:44 am

musicmom

8:45 am

faeriekae

8:45 am

musicmom

8:46 am

sprite

Not a 6 year old, for sure!

8:46 am

musicmom

No Sprite - Sarah is my 12 year old

Sprite Hannah is 6 and Sarah is 12. Don't you know anything about Musicmoms family. LOL

8:47 am

musicmom

Yeah - Faerie - it became one of those pick your battle moments. I tried to tell her no for a while but I didn't really have a good reason - other than I wish I were still 12 and didn't have to shave

8:47 am

aqua spring

12 is young to shave legs. sorry I am only chatting with you. hi

musicmom

I just told her she was going to have to shave for the next 60+ years and if that is what she really wanted to do - go ahead

8:50 am

musicmom

Yeah Amanda - how did it go?

8:50 am

musicmom

Faerie - we realized when we went to see DaVinci Code that Greg looks like Tom Hanks now that his hair is longer

8:50 am

faeriekae

ROFL and the sad thing is, is that it's the truth.

8:50 am

amandacath

It went fairly well, thanks. A few line bungles, a couple of technical glitches, but all in all... sadly, no funny stories to tell!

8:50 am

faeriekae

OMG Tom Hanks is soooo cute.

8:51 am

musicmom

That is excellent Amanda -- how long a run do you have?

8:51 am

jbp

how long a run is it amanda?

8:51 am

musicmom

Faerie - I'll try to get a picture of him and the girls and email it to you.

8:51 am

8:56 am

Donald Rat III

8:56 am

Donald Rat III

are there any limitations besides more than 3 letters

8:56 am

specificity

good morning.

8:56 am

sprite

Donald: you stare at the grid until you see a word, then you enter it in the Add Word box and you hope for the best.

8:56 am

musicmom

donald --- all tiles have to be connected and not used more than once in each word

8:56 am

Anniebrook

good morning, spec

8:56 am

aqua spring

I think you enter words on the grid and get whatever you can

8:56 am

Donald Rat III

how come sometimes there are letters to make teh word and it does not accpet it?

8:56 am

musicmom

check out angelsong's page (linked at the bottom) for more explicit instruction

8:57 am

Haz1558

Donald - we often refer new players to Angelsong's resource page under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. It gives lots of information.

8:57 am

sprite

They must be connected, Donald.

8:57 am

musicmom

are they connected to each other?

8:57 am

Donald Rat III

ok

8:57 am

musicmom

This is like Boggle if you have ever played that game

8:57 am

faeriekae

to learn to play babble you should go to the bottom of the page and click on Anglesongs Resource page and read the rules and come back and join us. You can also as for clues

8:57 am

amandacath

Donald: no proper nouns, no abbreviations or acronyms. However the word list the site uses can be inconsistent on those.

8:57 am

Norad

8:58 am

musicmom

Marisun - you are probably looking for the one that looks like cheese but - one consonant

8:59 am

Haz1558

ch6/27 is the plural for ch5/16 - sounds like meat that has been cooked too long, but spelt differently

8:59 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch - see you later maybe.

8:59 am

amandacath

9:02 am

Marisun

9:52 am

faeriekae

9:52 am

nrkii

9:52 am

musicmom

ai8 is a compound

9:52 am

nrkii

nice fairie!

9:53 am

nrkii

thanks mm!

9:53 am

musicmom

de8 is a pain to figure out it is a series of periods of 10 yeras

9:53 am

musicmom

years

9:53 am

nrkii

oh, can't believe I missed that!

9:53 am

faeriekae

nrkii

Got the AI -- that's the one I should have seen earlier!

Going to play around a bit with the DE now...

10:03 am

amandacath

10:03 am

Atalante

10:03 am

faeriekae

Bryan when I went to bed I only need 50 to finish but I got up this morning and had 218 to go. Must be something wrong with the system huh?

10:04 am

Marisun

my points are incorrect on a couple of words on teh list...fe4/14 for example

10:04 am

amandacath

Oh, that thing. know what you're talking about, now if I can only remember what it's called....

10:04 am

faeriekae

Marisun - I've been having 4 letter words scoring as 5's so I'm not complaining.

10:04 am

BryanC

haha nrkii, i know really faeriekae? ok maybe i'm not dreaming

10:05 am

Marisun

lol ok

10:05 am

faeriekae

No Bryan I think I dreamed that also. LOL

10:06 am

Marisun

10:06 am

faeriekae

10:06 am

BryanC

10:06 am

nrkii

nrkii

Bryan, exactly!

10:06 am

abe79

10:07 am

faeriekae

Nan just screwing with your head....it seems to be easy to do that today LOL

10:07 am

nrkii

the FE 6/30 fox word sounds like FE + what connects your head to your shoulders, but double the middle consonant

10:07 am

nrkii

yeah, I'm groggy and gullible

10:07 am

Atalante

refresh for a pic of the fe6/30 :)

10:07 am

what do you do with a drunken sailor
what do you do with a drunken sailor
what do you do with a drunken sailor...
Er-lie in the mor-nin?

10:31 am

Vicuna

Sheesh, that refresh took forever. But at last I can see that you are highly appropriate, jbp!

10:32 am

jbp

nrkii you're not so bad yourself! ;-)

10:32 am

BryanC

back- bethlehem, i know that too- nice town too

10:32 am

musicmom

sometimes I think it would be nice if the grid were like a Chinese puzzle box - we could slide the tiles around

10:32 am

Vicuna

(Yo ho, and up she rises...)

10:32 am

jbp

i believe that is the first time that sentence has EVER been uttered! thx, Vic

10:33 am

stidmama

musicmom, even in the biggy-size I can't make our your icon... a stage show of some kind.

10:33 am

nrkii

wow, what was with that refresh -- I was very very scared

10:33 am

BryanC

i'll check that site Owl- will volunteer if i'm in the neighborhood! i think i'm going to lancaster for a day next weekend

10:34 am

Atalante

but then we'd have 1000 word puzzles! eeeep!

10:34 am

Vicuna

Being appropriate in Babbleville takes a whole different skill set from cubicleland.

10:34 am

musicmom

It is a current photo of the show choir I was in 19 years ago. The uniforms have really changed

10:34 am

jbp

indeed, vic!

10:34 am

musicmom

ata - hadn't thought of that

10:34 am

jbp

not that i'm appropriate here much either

10:34 am

stidmama

thanks. things do change in that length of time don't they!

10:35 am

musicmom

Yep We all wore tuxedo shirts, bow ties and cummerbunds. The girls wore circle skirts. Guys wore tuxes.

10:35 am

musicmom

Now the guys wear suits but the girls wear formals

10:36 am

Vicuna

Pretty much the only inappropriate thing here is trollism, so you're more appropriate than you think.

10:39 am

jbp

i need one of the fe 6/30 words... I have the one that's wasteland+bodypart

10:39 am

amandacath

two more ch's for me, then I'm off - anyone have the last two (after the cook)?

10:40 am

nrkii

jbp, was scared of

10:40 am

musicmom

funny thing about show choir... Most of us got our sr. pictures taken in the uniform. Mom said it wasn't a good idea, but I did it anyway. Now I hate my sr. pictures.

10:40 am

Vicuna

fe6/30 - past tense of fe4 that's a soft material

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

--------> stage manager bryan - staging is the best work...

10:44 am

stidmama

I only have one et 6 gas word... is there another et 6, or just another gas word?

10:44 am

stidmama

10:44 am

10:44 am

abe79

10:45 am

stidmama

thanks abe.

10:45 am

musicmom

You don't get gas jbp? Do you take Beano?

10:45 am

jbp

gas like fuel or gas like not liquid nor solid?

10:45 am

musicmom

fuel

10:45 am

jbp

my cubemates might beg to differ

10:46 am

musicmom

LOL

10:46 am

jbp

ok, i got the one that ends in the guys who served their leige lords

10:46 am

jbp

but i don't see how there can be another vowel....

10:46 am

stidmama

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

10:47 am

jbp

10:48 am

stidmama

10:48 am

jbp

Atalante

10:49 am

jbp

catch of the day is here --ahoy!

10:49 am

musicmom

jbp - are you using the same grid the rest of us has??<G>

10:49 am

nrkii

meanwhile, an hour later, I am still looking for the de 8 and I feel like I've typed in every possible combination... I know it has to start with same first 5 letters of the 6/24 that follows it... from there, I don't know...

10:49 am

nrkii

(like shooting fish in a barrel?)

10:50 am

abe79

ok nrkii, let's crack this....do you have de 6/24?

10:50 am

stidmama

there's a de 8? *dives into grid*

*splash*

10:50 am

jbp

de + the first 3 letters for "penny". double the final letter of that + add 2 vowels

10:50 am

nrkii

yes

10:50 am

Vicuna

Nrkii, for the de8, think of the ending of flowers that grow year after year.

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

btw - being navy day, we have to harpoon you

10:50 am

musicmom

de+first three letters of a penny+consonant+two vowels

Over the cobbles he clatterd and clashed in the dark in7 (+y).
He tappped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred..."

11:11 am

nrkii

merk, change middle vowel

11:11 am

stidmama

the other et 6 is also a gas, different middle vowel

11:11 am

Vicuna

en6/21 - a group of nine, apparently. Ends with what you do to bread dough, minus first letter

11:11 am

stidmama

I don't have any ens yet...

11:11 am

I thought I had tried that. I must have done a typo ... not a rare occurrence.

that was a good clue, Vi, thanks!

11:12 am

abe79

what a sweet picture, aussieme

11:12 am

The en6 is en + what you do when you make homemade bread. You punch it down and then kn*** it, but drop the k.

11:12 am

Aussieme

thanks abe.... she is so laid back

11:13 am

abe79

Hello babblers. Does it seem terribly wrong to anyone else that "innards" is not considered a valid word? Or is this a southernism not in general use?

11:41 am

Atalante

try it again ;)

11:41 am

abe79

try it again layne, the site is funky right now

11:42 am

Ooh, thanks Atalante and abe79! My faith is restored!

glad you enjoy them! I'm usually on babble but not every day cuz sometimes work gets busy...

11:48 am

walnut, I went to the site you told me about, and then followed that path to another where someone is compiling a collection of Fibs to e-publish in the late summer ... I submitted two

11:48 am

BGL

YAY! nrkii

11:48 am

Minski

Well, it's smaller than yesterday's but still not a short list. How is it treating us today?

11:49 am

nrkii

Minski, not too bad today -- first 100 - 140 should come easy

11:49 am

boreetos

how is "dehearse" not a word? We used to dehearse all the time before plays. That's when you goof off back stage and forget your lines and blocking.

11:49 am

nrkii

nice boreetos :)

11:49 am

Minski

then

11:49 am

abe79

yay nrkii!

11:49 am

Layne

boreetos, it could also mean when they take the coffin out of the vehicle at the cemetery.

11:50 am

Minski

whoops. bad start already.

11:50 am

musicmom

BRAVO nrkii

11:50 am

walnutchen

wow. thats cool nrkii. I'm more shy about my fibs....

11:50 am

nrkii

ah minski, I thought you were simply drawing out a thought :)

11:50 am

Erda

You could also come back to life and step out of the hearse -- dehearse.....

11:51 am

Erda

sorry about that

11:51 am

nrkii

or, you could convert an old funeral car to an everyday car (as I've seen people do), and that would be dehearse as well, right?

11:51 am

boreetos

that's true, that would be the second usage. "Ok, guys, time to dehearse the car, and then rehearse the ground."

11:51 am

Cherrypop

Kind of up there with de judge!

11:51 am

Layne

LOL, Erda.

11:51 am

BGL

last two fe6/30, please?

11:52 am

boreetos

i guess, you'd kind of have to park the car in a grave to do that, but you know what i mean.

11:52 am

musicmom

Hey BGL -- you want your nieces for the summer?

11:52 am

BGL

sure, send them up...

11:52 am

musicmom

I have past tense of craft fabric and a type of fox BGL

11:52 am

nrkii

bgl, one is when you apply soft fabric to a poker table, the table becomes FE****

11:53 am

musicmom

I just straightened up all the pillows on the couch. Turned around and Hannah had thrown them back on the floor

11:53 am

nrkii

bgl, the other sounds like FE + part of your body that connects your head to your shoulders, but double the consonant in the middle

11:53 am

BGL

she's 6 give her a break... :)

11:54 am

BGL

Thanks, got 'em

11:54 am

BGL

Afterall, they can't go swimming. :P

11:54 am

musicmom

I wish the pool didn't have problems. I had every thought of letting them play in it all day today. Now it looks like it will be at least Sunday before it is ready

11:54 am

musicmom

LOL exactly!

11:55 am

musicmom

They do have bikes, basketball, soccer, bubbles, sidewalk chalk -- so why are they in here pestering me?

11:55 am

musicmom

They also have a huge stack of library books

11:55 am

nrkii

musicmom, here's what you could be experiencing with a 6 year old girl (courtesy of my niece): replacing the toothpaste with water, adding cream to the sugar bowl to make coffee fixing a one-step process, replacing hair gel with water, drawing pictures on wall and signing her older brother's name...

11:55 am

BGL

because the LOVE you!!!

11:55 am

Layne

Has anyone found a use for the Q?

11:55 am

musicmom

nrkii --- I think I would have throttled after the toothpaste.

11:56 am

Layne

11:56 am

nrkii

I'm all for down time/unscheduled time for children. BUT today makes me understand the parents who keep them totally engaged in organized activity for the summer

11:57 am

Erda

dranque

11:57 am

Layne

But I live in a place where French is all around.

11:57 am

nrkii

layne, i kept trying the same

11:57 am

boreetos

gross...there's a a reason that creamers aren't all that sweet on their own.

11:57 am

musicmom

I don't know that one BGL - I'll look up the lyrics on the web

11:57 am

BGL

They could take the snakes for a walk

11:57 am

music: you've got to enjoy this time while you can. Soon they'll be too busy to pester you - or worse they'll be old enough to hog the computer and play babble themselves

12:00 pm

true jrh402. The real problem today is frustration at the pool not being ready

12:01 pm

BGL

jrh - they already are... they just like to pester her:) Don't tell her I pay them to pester her! ;)

12:01 pm

nrkii

12:01 pm

Angelsong

faerie, are you here?

12:01 pm

BGL

12:02 pm

Minski

musicmom - I thought you live around here and it's been raining for 2 days. If it's nice there kick them out of the house. They'll find something to do.

12:02 pm

scribble

c-ya BGL! hello everyone :)

12:02 pm

Minski

I said that in a nice kind of sarcastic tone of voice by the way.

12:02 pm

boreetos

you know in my day, we didn't have a pool, we had to swim in the gutter like everyone else! And we didn't even have summer, we had winter 2! Snow all the time, and everything was uphill! Even downtown, which was in the valley, was uphill! We wore onions on our belts, cause that was the style at the time! Belt onions and swimming in the gutter!

12:02 pm

jrh402s

music: you should make a pool... wear swimsuits in the tub (shower is even better with a little water in the bottom)...or big pots of water in the lawn

12:03 pm

musicmom

I did kick them out Minski - they keep coming back:-)

12:03 pm

musicmom

LOL Bor

12:03 pm

boreetos

12:04 pm

Minski

KIDS!!!!! Mine has had a fever for 3 days and is driving me nutty. She's only 17 months old and doesn't have enough language to tell me how she feels so she just keeps whining.

12:04 pm

boreetos

ok, i got to get back to work, I'll see you kids later. :)

12:04 pm

musicmom

jrh - we have a pool. Filled it yesterday only to discover a hole in the bottom. Am letting all the water out today to fix the hole

12:04 pm

Anniebrook

In my day you could have thrown up for 2 cents

12:04 pm

musicmom

MAN Bor you are a lot older than I thought:-)

12:04 pm

Layne

Bye, boreetos.

12:05 pm

musicmom

I have no sympathy for my kids because I have spent the past two days playing with them, taking them places, doing stuff. Today they can do their chores and entertain themselves

12:05 pm

jrh402s

you have a pool? wow, I bet they're excited. they should play in the mud puddle you're making.

12:05 pm

nrkii

marisun, oohed and AA***

12:05 pm

Atalante

12:05 pm

Anniebrook

musicmom, no school today?

12:05 pm

musicmom

Now there is an idea jrh - I bet Hannah would love to play in the mud. I can always hose her down later

12:06 pm

Minski

They are out of school already? Lucky kids!

12:06 pm

Marisun

thanks nrkii

12:06 pm

musicmom

School got out last Friday Annie. This week we have no scheduled activity. Next week is GS day camp and we will all three be gone all day every day

12:06 pm

jrh402s

that sounds like fun to me.

12:07 pm

musicmom

I used to love to play in the mud

12:07 pm

musicmom

We also used to play with the garden hose. We had interesting Miss America pageants on the picnic table

12:07 pm

Merk

Could I have a clue for the SA 5. I think I am not seeing something here.

12:07 pm

Anniebrook

Yes, lucky kids, school ended early. Next week will come soon enough. Mud is fun.

12:07 pm

jrh402s

oh yes, I "used" to like to play in mud. not any more, ask anyone...

12:08 pm

cat2

musicmom... maybe a long shot, but do you know of a site that has sheet music (free) for recorder, specifically looking for 4th grade level for Ode to Joy?

12:08 pm

Atalante

garden hoses and garden sprinklers ...

12:08 pm

musicmom

hmmmm Merk - maybe I should focus back on the grid. I don't have that

12:08 pm

Minski

Between snow days and flood/rain days most of our kids don't get out until the end of June. Some towns have to go into July.

12:08 pm

nrkii

sa 5 10 is a kind of plastic wrap

12:08 pm

musicmom

Cat- I don't. How soon do you need it? I probably have one here I could send you

12:09 pm

jrh402s

Did you google that Cat? I'm sure "recorder ode to joy" would produce what you want.

12:09 pm

scribble

hey cat i know a site...hang on a sec

12:09 pm

cat2

no hurry...my youngest just learned it right before school got out and is frustrated becuz he can't recall all of it now and wants to play it for me...

12:09 pm

Anniebrook

nrkii, thank you. you always hit the clues right on

12:09 pm

cat2

i've googled it and not found what I want

12:09 pm

musicmom

LOL jrh - I still like to play in the mud - should have said i just haven't done it in a long time.

12:10 pm

jrh402s

12:10 pm

BGL

Okay, I'm back...

12:10 pm

Merk

Thanks

12:10 pm

Anniebrook

hi, BGL

12:10 pm

nrkii

cat2, did you check with the school? they might be able to get it to you

12:10 pm

musicmom

cat --- does he just want the notes in order? Or does he have to read it for you? I can send you the note names

12:11 pm

nrkii

merk, apparently sa 5 is also a generic name -- who knew?

12:11 pm

Merk

Good idea, nrkii, schools have files and files of music on hand

12:12 pm

cat2

i'm not sure, he's at summer school right now. maybe.

12:13 pm

tndaisy1960

that "brand name" word has another meaning, which qualifies it to be in the Enable list.

12:13 pm

musicmom

Okay for the next 30 minutes I am going to focus completely on the grid.

12:13 pm

musicmom

Cat--- find out if he wants the letters in order and what note he is starting on. My email address is in my bio

12:13 pm

cat2

nrkii... they're in summer school session right now, will have to check if music teacher is there.

12:13 pm

BGL

Sure you are, musicmom...

12:13 pm

mich_pdx

they might call it something different in the UK -- we call it Swiss Ch****, like what doctors keep on patients, but with a different hard const. at the end

1:42 pm

FMitch

4:28 pm

snowyowl

I know the feeling itsonme! If you want a hint list its in the licketys link at the bottom of the page

4:28 pm

jrh402s

4:28 pm

itsonme

4:28 pm

stidmama

4:29 pm

4:33 pm

Ping

molly is darling - i like that name too

4:33 pm

wassup

she's actually my niece snowy. i have been taking care of her alot lately as her mother, my sister just had ANOTHER baby 2 weeks ago. they're only 10 1/2 months apart

4:34 pm

shutterbug

Oh my, that is REALLY REALLY close together.

4:34 pm

froelica

yup.

4:34 pm

wassup

this is kind of practice for what it would be if i have another one. mine are 4 & 5. they're good helpers for the most part

4:34 pm

snowyowl

we take care of our grandchildren a lot - we had 5 here for breakfast this morning! Great fun - but stressful!

4:34 pm

wassup

ashley, homer is so funny in his mask

4:35 pm

jrh402s

shirin: an6/18 is the plural of an5/10

4:35 pm

shutterbug

Well, in my family there are 10 kids

4:35 pm

wassup

holy cow! that's a lot of kids in one house. i'm exhausted from this

4:35 pm

shutterbug

so, 5 is easy.

4:35 pm

jrh402s

an the an7/32 is the past tense

4:35 pm

wassup

brb

4:35 pm

shutterbug

only 9 kids live in thes house now though.

4:35 pm

jrh402s

sorry I took so long with the clue - I actually did some work!

4:36 pm

itsonme

how is this scrabble?

4:36 pm

shirin

thank you!

4:36 pm

shutterbug

This is not scrabble, this is BABBLE.

4:37 pm

snowyowl

Wow shutterbug- what fun! My friend is one of 9 too.

4:37 pm

itsonme

I know, but it says a mix of scrabble and boggle, it seems just boggle

4:37 pm

jrh402s

anyone can play scrabble, but babble is for the truly blessed

4:37 pm

itsonme

I am a kid, I am one of 5

4:37 pm

shutterbug

where does it say that?

4:37 pm

shutterbug

I am a kid too

4:37 pm

spellit

Fireworks at last - hope the next grid is well under 200

4:38 pm

stidmama

YAY spellit!

4:38 pm

jrh402s

and money

4:38 pm

shutterbug

Maybe because of the point system.

4:39 pm

spellit

Cheers!

4:39 pm

stidmama

jrh, I am monkeytyped out. What is the an 5/10 I should be looking for to take advantage of your 6 and 7 clues?

4:40 pm

bendamalina

itsonme: babble assigns a point value to each letter, so if you use a less popular letter, you get more points

4:40 pm

itsonme

okay...I think I cant find anymore if I tried too...but I will still try, Practice makes perfect!

4:40 pm

bendamalina

just like in scarbble

4:40 pm

snowyowl

There are a few babble songs on Babblers anonymous maybe we should sing some! In the old days we used to have celebrational , virtual cocktails & jacuzzis when some one finished!

4:40 pm

itsonme

oooh

4:40 pm

wassup

molly's having a bottle-cranky pants

4:40 pm

itsonme

haha

4:41 pm

stidmama

hi benda! when did you pop in?

4:41 pm

itsonme

there is a scarbble?

4:41 pm

snowyowl

thats the spirit itsonme!

4:41 pm

bendamalina

In boggle, you only get points for how long your word is. in babble, it is a mix of the point value of the letters and the length of the word

4:41 pm

jrh402s

stid: the opposite of afar :)

4:41 pm

stidmama

jrh, pass the fish please, that was in the grid yesterday! thanks.

4:41 pm

bendamalina

just now stid :) my computer cord has been broken for EVER, and i just got a new one in the mail. YAY!

4:41 pm

wassup

can we have cocktails anyway?

4:41 pm

shutterbug

itsonme, I think she meant scrabble.

4:42 pm

stidmama

so glad you are back! I have missed your "retiring personality"...

4:42 pm

stidmama

I am going to eat some chocolate raisins in your honor, Benda!

4:42 pm

itsonme

yeah I have noticed a lot of my words were short, yet I still have a good amount of points

4:42 pm

wassup

vodka tonic for me

4:42 pm

itsonme

gimmie some!

4:42 pm

bendamalina

oops...i'm a nortoriously sloppy typer when i've been drinking cocktails! oops! but scarble sounds tempting...

4:43 pm

wassup

froelica, can i get you one?

4:43 pm

stidmama

*passes bag of raisins around*

4:43 pm

mirandapan

Do any of you do the online boggle (I'm the lurker mirandapan who takes advantage of all your clues, but seldom says a word--do enjoy your conversations tho')

4:43 pm

froelica

yes ma'am!! it'll ease my pain!

4:43 pm

bendamalina

haha....i'll eat a raisin for such a toast

4:43 pm

snowyowl

If you'd like we can wassup! My favourite drink is vodka/tonic too!

4:46 pm

wassup

mmm, good vt. i'm thinking a black russian for my next

4:46 pm

stidmama

4:46 pm

mich_pdx

WHY NOT!!! it's a party, after all, getting all crazy up in here

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

4:47 pm

snowyowl

benda - sound lovely!

4:47 pm

bendamalina

yeah, it's lots of fun with friends...some people bring really elaborate picnics, with cheese and salads and grills.

4:47 pm

stidmama

4:47 pm

itsonme

how do you get friends

4:47 pm

shutterbug

I'm going to get something to eat now.

4:47 pm

hetty

Lots of people asking what to read. I love talking about books. There's one chap keeps trying to catch me out on poetry--today it was Browning's Andrea del Sarto (" aman's treach shold exceed his grasp/ Or what's a heaven for?" lovely stuff to talk abou Where are younin the a's? have them all

4:47 pm

bendamalina

shirley temples for the young'uns!

4:48 pm

itsonme

Yeah, I thought tech was one and I got very annoyed

4:48 pm

stidmama

the movie in the park does sound nice! We have something similar around here but only once a month in the town.

4:48 pm

hetty

I'm stuck however in the ch's

4:48 pm

amandacath

Back to finish the grid - 39 more to find before bedtime

4:48 pm

stidmama

I picked up a Rabelais (sp?) in translation while I was at the doctor's today -- the volunteers have a "do it yourself" booksale. Never read it but always wanted to.

4:48 pm

mich_pdx

I went to a cocktail baby shower last Sat. there were "hot mama" drinks (with) and "cool mama" drinks without, and all were quite delicious....lots of tropical juices & a real bartender / party thrower

4:49 pm

jrh402s

bend: I don't know what a vodka and cranberry is called, but add a lime squeeze and it's a cape codder.

4:49 pm

stidmama

go amanda go!

4:49 pm

snowyowl

Hetty - I love to read -but am only reading light at the mo' -too much else going on to do anything heavy, justice.

4:49 pm

bendamalina

well, one of the perks of living in an urban environment, i guess. It's a trade off for having to battle horendous traffic (we're not enlightened enough to have decent public transport) and smoggy air.

4:49 pm

piglover11

can someone give me a hint

4:49 pm

wassup

mmm, that sounds good jrh. perhaps i need to go somewhere tonight. too bad froelica's sick... sad.

For what piglover?

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

bendamalina

4:51 pm

jrh402s

4:51 pm

wassup

shutterbug, curious...how old are you? you said you're a kid, but very well spoken.

4:51 pm

4:51 pm

That would be awesome, stid!

4:51 pm

mich_pdx

I have 65 left and am feeling like being STRONG and not finishing, but have cocktails (virtually) instead -- yesterday's was mindblowing

4:52 pm

itsonme

I am a kid

4:52 pm

mich_pdx

jrh, come back soooon

4:52 pm

stidmama

shutterbug -- no more personal info like that. My children play on here sometimes too -- and I chide them for revealing their exact age or location. Remember that you don't know wassup (or any of us) for real.

4:52 pm

stidmama

so the same advice to you itsonme!

4:52 pm

snowyowl

I didn't finish yesterdays but did a 400 plus one last year!

4:52 pm

itsonme

gotcha

4:53 pm

shutterbug

But I dont give out me name or where I live or anything like that.

4:53 pm

wassup

you sound older shutter. that's a compliment when you're 13, not so much as you get older.

4:53 pm

mich_pdx

snowly, that deserves a toast -- to Snowy and the 400+ grid!!!!

4:53 pm

hetty

Snowyowl, my greeting to you got swallowed up somehow. I told you reading was only one way of enlarging our experience and there are many others

4:54 pm

stidmama

yesterday's was brutal. I finished only because I had injured my back and was stuck sitting on ice more than 8 hours. (better today)

4:54 pm

hetty

--some almost as effective!

4:54 pm

snowyowl

TY TY! LOL It was a marathon -Where did a those days when I had time go?

4:54 pm

stidmama

we all deserve a toast! *yo ho. yo ho. a pirate's life for meeee*

4:54 pm

itsonme

i gtg.

4:54 pm

wassup

i'm not a creep though. :)

4:54 pm

4:54 pm

See you all later

4:54 pm

that was before you had 5 grandchildren taking over your house snowyowl!

4:54 pm

itsonme

See you all later

4:55 pm

stidmama

nice to meet you itsonme. see you again sometime

4:55 pm

by itsonme & shutterbug -it was nice to meet you

4:55 pm

mich_pdx

see ya, itsonme & shutter

4:55 pm

stidmama

no wassup, you are not a creep. You are a delightful person (as am I) but kids don't know the difference.

4:55 pm

stidmama

bye shutterbug, later

4:55 pm

jillibus

hi hetty! i'm lurking hopelessly (only 91 words) but i do have a few ch words and would like a clue for the aa one...

4:56 pm

amandacath

Anybody got the first ec6/27 - 7/40 combo? I'm assuming it's a combo, anyway...

4:56 pm

hetty

Please can someone clue me for ch5/14 (the last one)

4:56 pm

wassup

i don't see the harm in asking age, but i agree about name and location. lots of freaks out there. my biggest fear for my own kids

4:56 pm

stidmama

go Jill go! Hetty -- I just found the aa all by myself!

4:56 pm

mich_pdx

and may I add to stid's advice -- we don't know who's "lurking" out there, taking advantage.

4:56 pm

snowyowl

I've still got 112 to go - I'm just so slow theese days!

4:56 pm

wassup

and i'm not offended. hard to show inflection through chat.

4:57 pm

hetty

jilli, the aa clue is past tense of what you did when you said AH!

4:57 pm

amandacath

hetty - that ch5/14 is a silly word - never heard of it. Sounds like Sir Walter....

4:57 pm

stidmama

I try to get the kids not to give their ages because their screen names are so close to their real names. And because I have caught myself saying "little" things at different times that add up to a whole lot of info!

4:57 pm

mich_pdx

hetty, ch + round vowel + double crosses

4:57 pm

libarebel

the ec's start w/ ec 4/6 -- to reverberate

4:58 pm

hetty

amanda. 'lll try it

4:58 pm

snowyowl

neat clue amandacath - you got there way before me!

4:58 pm

shutterbug

I'm back with my salad. going to list on ebay so I wont be here too much.

4:58 pm

amandacath

thanks libarebel - but those are further down. There are two right at the top of the ec's.

4:58 pm

wassup

i guess it's hard to be so discreet when i know i'm not out for the wrong reasons. you know what i mean?

4:58 pm

hetty

and it workd. What kind of a word is that anyway?

4:59 pm

stidmama

hetty -- can you help me with the ar 6/21 please?

4:59 pm

libarebel

don't have those :)

stid, I know a contractor who's wife started doing radio news on a station I listen to, and she was telling "everyone" all sorts of things about her daughter, including name, age, where they went.... I mentioned to her husband that she should be circumspect -- she never mentioned her husband's name!

4:59 pm

amandacath

Dunno. Someone clued it earlier with ch + some baseball player (who I unfortuntely didn't know, but I was able to monkey it from there)

4:59 pm

Anniebrook

Stid, when someone is passsionate about something they are ar****

5:00 pm

hetty

mich, that was so helpful

5:00 pm

stidmama

I know EXACTLY what you mean wassup! and I tend to be one of the trusting types, so I am in a double bind, wanting to be friendly without being too stupid about it.

5:00 pm

jillibus

ar 6/21 ar+the beginning of the guy who looks after teeth

5:00 pm

wassup

exactly. :)

5:00 pm

hetty

ar6/21 I just clued--an adjctive (means bnurning) used of hope, love etc

5:00 pm

mich_pdx

yw, hetty

5:01 pm

hetty

jilli was way easier to follow!

5:01 pm

snowyowl

It's so easy when everyone is so friendly too.

5:01 pm

stidmama

mich, yes. that is the sort of thing I tend to do. I have a blog that I maintain that gives a lot of info like that. I want to go in and purge some of the things so it's less dangerous and then I will add it to the blogs at Angelsong's.

5:01 pm

stidmama

thanks hetty and Annie.

5:02 pm

snowyowl

ty hetty & jilli

5:02 pm

shirin

any clues for the ch7s?

5:02 pm

hetty

now for ch6/27 and ch7/40?

5:03 pm

Anniebrook

past tense of ch 5/14 gregorian ch***

5:03 pm

abarmack

i cant believe chode isnt a real word

5:03 pm

libarebel

ch7--some people swim the English Ch*****

5:03 pm

snowyowl

I have on ch7 - a body of water -eg the English ch*****

5:03 pm

stidmama

when I want to meet with someone I have "met" online I always try to find a safe, public place and I make sure people know where I am and when I expect to be home... one of my best friends came arose that way. And I don't release my real name or personal email until I am pretty sure about someone. I use Yahoo for contacts I make here for example.

5:03 pm

abarmack

chant

5:03 pm

amandacath

hetty, you're probably looking for the misspelt cheese

5:04 pm

jillibus

ch7/40 is the past of 5/14

5:04 pm

shutterbug

thanks arbermack

5:04 pm

hetty

shiri, of the2 ch7's I have, one is what you get (and switch) on telly; the other is past tense of what monks do--specially Gregorian ones

5:04 pm

wassup

i don't think i'd ever meet anyone from online. i know we talk about getting together sometime, but i think i'd panic

5:05 pm

jillibus

OR..there's another ch 7/40 -- "salut!" with a d in the middle.

5:05 pm

wassup

i guess there are a few from here that i'd be comfortable with

5:05 pm

shirin

thanks all for the clues, those were great

5:05 pm

hetty

Ithink I have that, jilkli (see monk clue)

5:05 pm

stidmama

I am a very socially anxious person myself. I am only perky and outgoing here _- it's a nice experience!

5:06 pm

shirin

wow, stidmama. I would have never guessed that.

5:06 pm

pabtrek

does anyone have the first ch6/27

5:06 pm

hetty

salut with a d? I can't use a double ee-

5:06 pm

shirin

But, I guess it is easier to communicate like this sometimes.

5:06 pm

wassup

i'm totally social in real life, but i'm just not sure how all of this would pan out in person... you know? and i wouldn't have expected that either stid

5:06 pm

shirin

Do you do better in smaller groups too?

5:07 pm

stidmama

I did meet a not-too-distant cousin a couple years ago online, her branch of the family had moved away and stopped writing 60 years ago. We found each other through rootsweb's family trees.

5:07 pm

snowyowl

there's to be a British Babble Convention next week in London. I can't be there -This is the only place I've ever chatted online- I just 'lurked' for ages & then joined in. My best friend told meabout this site. She doesn't get to play much now tho'

5:07 pm

hetty

so i put the consonant between the 2 e's and lo and behold! Clever Jilly

5:07 pm

stidmama

I do really well speaking in front of groups, and talking with one or two others... more than ten people in social situations terrify me.

5:07 pm

jillibus

no, hetty, it's not the monk and not the TV, in fact the dictionary doesn't know it. it's the plural of the 6/27 in front of it.

5:07 pm

shirin

that's pretty neat. Another positive from the internet

5:08 pm

hetty

and I found the pl on autopilot. Ta

5:08 pm

mich_pdx

I've never chatted anywhere else, either. I tried online dating -- NOT a great experience, but ended up being good friends with a cribbage player who's now engaged to a woman who thinks we're two peas in a pod, cause we both went to Seven Sisters colleges

5:08 pm

amandacath

pab- the first ch6/27 is (I think) the pl of taliban-approved outerwear

5:09 pm

shirin

Im the same way, stid. I used to beat myself up over it since most my family members are extroverts. But, it has just been recent that I accepted myself for being so shy. I took a personality test in grad school and I realized a lot about myself

5:09 pm

stidmama

this is the only "chat" thingy I have ever participated in... but it is really nice.

5:09 pm

wassup

mich, i have a few friends who've tried the online dating. no good experiences there either.

5:09 pm

pabtrek

thanks amandacath, i don't know how i got it but i did

5:10 pm

mich_pdx

I bet if we polled, a lot of us would be I's (myers briggs, me = INFJ)

5:10 pm

amandacath

yw - wouldn't have gotten it myself without Sprite's help earlier

5:10 pm

stidmama

my myers-briggs has been consistently inst/j for the last 20 years. I am almost exclusively I, and split 50/50 on the T/J

5:10 pm

wassup

i don't even know what that is.

5:11 pm

shirin

I am a INFJ

5:11 pm

shirin

I guess we share two traits

5:11 pm

snowyowl

LOL mich! - I've had real fun here & miss it if I can't play. I'm very noisy & extrovert but was not very good at joining in until I started to help in a Brownie Guide group. Now I'm noisier than ever & not too afraid to stand up & be counted

5:11 pm

Anniebrook

explain please, stid and shirin

5:12 pm

stidmama

myers-briggs is a personality "preference" tool that examines a person's basic instincts in four key areas. the first area is "introvert/extrovert" and it has more to do with how one enjoys getting information and interacting than really with shy/outgoing though there is some correlation

5:12 pm

Anniebrook

thanks, stid

5:12 pm

shirin

I was typing the same thing stid

5:12 pm

wassup

ok, i'll have to find out what i am

5:13 pm

stidmama

There are some pretty decent online tests for people who are just curious. They have been accurate for me.

5:13 pm

shirin

you can get a shorter version on the web wassup. Just google myers briggs

5:13 pm

amandacath

ha6/21 anyone?

5:13 pm

stidmama

great minds -- maybe we share more than just those two traits?

5:13 pm

wassup

ok, will do. bbl

5:14 pm

stidmama

later wassup.

5:14 pm

shirin

bye wassup

5:14 pm

mich_pdx

it's a very revealing test -- and one that can change over time, that measures Introvert/Extrovert, iNtuition/Sensation, Thinking/ Feeling, Judgemental/Perceiving

5:14 pm

stidmama

the ha 6/21 that I have is a past tense of the ha 4/5 that looks like to "spook" a mansion without the U

5:14 pm

Cruella

I am an INFJ as well

5:14 pm

Anniebrook

going to google myers-briggs.

5:15 pm

shirin

cool, cruella

5:15 pm

pabtrek

stid, that's a 6/24

5:15 pm

mich_pdx

It's helped me be less judgmental about how other people "work" -- those P's bug me, but not the way they used to (being quite J, myself)

5:15 pm

stidmama

mich -- thanks. I always get the letters out of order. I am NOT a "T" I am INFJ/P ...

5:16 pm

stidmama

so it is pabtrek! *looking for the 6/21*

5:16 pm

FranMag

hi everybody!

5:16 pm

mich_pdx

so you, me, shirin and cruella are all INFJ's more or less, goes to show ya, this game is great for our types, LOL

5:16 pm

stidmama

hi Fran!

5:16 pm

shirin

wow, three babblers with the same traits.

5:17 pm

pabtrek

yep, the only ha i don't have

5:17 pm

amandacath

Hi Fran!

5:17 pm

shirin

4 of us

5:17 pm

shirin

I wonder if anyone else has the same traits

5:17 pm

amandacath

5:17 pm

stidmama

okay, the sun is peeking out its happy face. Going to zip outside for quality tug-ball time with my galoot. back soon.

5:18 pm

jillibus

I need some ch 6/27s. I have the plural of the swiss veggie, and the meaningless cheese homophone.

5:18 pm

mich_pdx

explains why we are such warm chatters, but not great at groups of strangers....

5:18 pm

shirin

have fun stid

5:18 pm

Beast

5:18 pm

shirin

true mich

5:18 pm

5:19 pm

mich_pdx

later, stid, enjoy the sun! I think I'll bow out as well, may be back to finish before the flip..... may not!

5:19 pm

FranMag

later stid!

5:19 pm

jillibus

ty, franmag

5:19 pm

amandacath

Ah! found it! Like the thing on a pot or a cup spelled wrong (the ha6/51)

5:31 pm

interesting! snowy and wassup are complete opposites from us. There goes the theory of the INFJs personality being linked to babble

I'm fine. just saw no point to updatng that thing. AngelSong and lickety have excellent pages. Mine seemed somewhat redundant.........

5:35 pm

stidmama

NF: iNtuitive Feeling (how you make decisions and what you use feeling or thought)

5:35 pm

Anniebrook

Stidmama, I think myers briggs got me correctly. ISTJ. If that means I'm shy, they are right. But I love words and Babble.!!!

5:36 pm

stidmama

people can, once they know what their preferences are, use them to their advantages and work on strenthening areas they might need but not have a lot of comfort in.

5:36 pm

wassup

i just had most of a bag of oyster crackers dumped down the back of my pants. my son was fighting with my daughter over the bag and it ripped and they went straight down the back of my pants while i was sitting on the couch. i'm gonna kill someone.

5:36 pm

snowyowl

It's odd how we react to questions when given a choice. I always felt my reading glasses were wrong & didn't like to say 'I don't know' when they asked a particular question. It didn't seem to be a proper answer!

5:36 pm

stidmama

note that I am not a counselor or psychologist, just a geekly type who enjoys statistics...

5:36 pm

shirin

I had to work on being more extroverted. I can do it, but I am drained afterwards

5:36 pm

FranMag

wassup, make sure you hide the bodies well

5:37 pm

stidmama

wassup, in six years it'll be funny -- just remember...

5:37 pm

shirin

where did you come across the myers, stid?

5:37 pm

froelica

hah!

5:37 pm

snowyowl

brandy - I like your stats -they print much more neatly some how!

5:37 pm

wassup

i'm already laughing. i yelled a few choice words and then started to laugh

5:37 pm

stidmama

yes. I am only extroverted when it comes to plants. I will accost total strangers on the street and demand to know the name, rank and serial number of any plants they are carrying!

5:38 pm

Anniebrook

wassup, there you go!

5:38 pm

hpyhrted

brandy - i'm a lurker not a chatter, but I really miss your clue page!!

hpyhrted - I'll second that!

5:38 pm

shirin

that's cute, stid

5:39 pm

stidmama

I took a business management course in college... guess what: INFP are NOT inclined to big business occupations! LOL so I went into clerical stuff when I graduated. much more my speed.

stid, the link i found for the myers-briggs cost $36, is there another link that you all are using?

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

5:41 pm

5:42 pm

froelica

heheheh

5:42 pm

wassup

yeah, when he gets on here, he announces "the fish is in the room" you'll crack up now when you see him sometime

5:42 pm

we're pretty much married for all intensive puposes anyways

5:49 pm

I am too introverted to be comfortable around Tom's remaining three siblings... they are all extroverts -- outgoing, busy, interested, busy, active, busy...
I get quickly overwhelmed.

5:49 pm

stid - why has your little person got green shoulders instead of pink?

5:51 pm

stidmama

so I'll pop up for air periodically... *turns invisible*

5:52 pm

stidmama

Jill -- because I don't like the pink Dr. God chose and on my computer it looks violet. but Green is good too ;-)

5:52 pm

5:54 pm

stidmama

no, you really can't. If you say you're a man, you're blue. If you say you're a woman, you're pink. If you don't answer the question... you're gray.

5:54 pm

jillibus

o, i c.

5:54 pm

6:37 pm

FranMag

6:38 pm

jillibus

it's the necessary thing wot has me stumped

6:38 pm

FranMag

katmayo, ch+mel *** (hockey player?) it's always in crossword puzzles

6:38 pm

FranMag

jilli, hierarchy of ****s from psychology

6:38 pm

helenkeller

6:39 pm

jillibus

I skipped most of my psych lectures back in 1946 ;^)

6:40 pm

Rlee

we don't have hockey over here :p

6:40 pm

katmayo

thanks for the clues, but I'm still clueless re: the CH 5/14

6:40 pm

FranMag

katmayo, ch+opp of in, but drop the middle letter and double the last

6:41 pm

Rlee

Kat you have the one to do with links in a C.... ?

6:41 pm

jillibus

Ch 5/14 rhymes with sir walter's last name, or beam me up ****** without the last letter

6:41 pm

Rlee

never heard that worh before Fran

6:42 pm

katmayo

the CH 5/14 is the very last word I have to find. Drawing a blank, tried typing all sorts of combinations...except the correct one I guess.

6:43 pm

FranMag

last fe6/30 anyone? i have the groping one

6:43 pm

jaymil

ch + 4th vowel + cross letter 2x

6:43 pm

katmayo

Finally figured it out---I was using the wrong H. The beam me up clue did it. Thanks all. Can I offer anyone a clue?

6:43 pm

FranMag

yay katmayo!!

6:44 pm

jillibus

Yippee katmayo!

6:45 pm

katmayo

the last FE 6/30--like an anise flavored veggie with a different last consonant. (the points will lead the way)

6:45 pm

jillibus

ai 7/36 and 8/50 would help here pls

6:45 pm

FranMag

jilli, ai7/36 is a girl with nothing upstairs

6:46 pm

FranMag

ai8/50 is the plural

6:46 pm

katmayo

If you have the ai8, remove the last letter. If you need for the 7 and 8...It's what we breath, and what is on your shoulders.

6:46 pm

jillibus

chuckle - oviously describing me right now!

6:47 pm

shutterbug

No, jill I dont think fran meant it that way at all. it could just as well be a man.

6:47 pm

Temple, I doubt you need more than a new monitor. Say a 17" LCD or 19" CRT. Something that'll do 1200 x 1024 resolution without ripping your eyes out of your head.

9:44 pm

stidmama

when my German Shepherd Dog wants to help me get out the door, he stands right between me and the door in such a way I cannot reach the handle... that's how those last few words felt to me.

9:45 pm

featherbee

9:48 pm

nrkii

night featherbee!

9:48 pm

stidmama

itsonme, you have been here for a very long time! you probably should go do something else for a while!

9:48 pm

stidmama

thank YOU featherbee! It is always a pleasure to be beaten to a pulp by your worshipfulness... ;-)

9:48 pm

nrkii

right, itsonme, we definitely allow accidental bandying LOL

9:48 pm

Minveryork

How come "dane" is not found in the dictionary?

9:48 pm

itsonme

9:49 pm

featherbee

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

itsonme

seeya

9:49 pm

Minveryork

9:49 pm

itsonme

9:50 pm

nrkii

itsonme, dingbats, ditzes = AI 8

9:50 pm

Ping

i know it's been clued already, but what is the DE 8/50

9:50 pm

jillibus

79 to go, and supper to get, 2+ hours left...

9:50 pm

stidmama

Ping, I don't really like Pink -- at least not that particular hue. So in the interest of beautifying the log, I went gray. Appropriate anyway, now that I'm OLD... LOL

9:51 pm

Ping

i'm OLD and anti-pink too. good idea.

9:52 pm

stidmama

Ping, think of things that happen every ten years and remove the last letter (an L): de + first three letters for a penny, then double that last letter and add two vowels.

9:52 pm

nrkii

Ping, use the de 6/24, double the remaining final consonant, then add Ave Mar**

9:52 pm

itsonme

lol stid I promise...actually I think I will go to sleep now...106 words on my first day...not that bad...

9:52 pm

itsonme

although idk whats good...

9:52 pm

stidmama

go Jill go! (no -- really. make supper and come back. your mind will be clearer and you will be refreshed.)

9:53 pm

moonriver919

ha 6/24 after the "difficult" ha 4/6

9:53 pm

nrkii

nice job angela!

9:53 pm

nrkii

moonriver, to make ha 4/6 (like what cement does)

9:53 pm

kristinc

I'm back...good job Angela!

9:53 pm

stidmama

Angela, you have done an admirable job for a person of your age on the first day... I think setting a goal of 100 words each day, or 1000 points, might be reasonable.

9:53 pm

moonriver919

thx

9:53 pm

kristinc

I assume you finished stid? if so, well done!

9:53 pm

Ping

thanks, stid and nrkii
