12:04 am

bendamalina

somehow i really want trollop to be in this puzzle...it's nowhere close to being in there...but a girl can wish, can't she?

12:04 am

jillibus

zoot not there? does anyone remember zoot suits?

12:04 am

bendamalina

exactly, jillibus!

12:06 am

jillibus

no s, no plurals, maybe latin ones tho

12:06 am

jillibus

awry

12:06 am

phweak

Remembering zoot suits would show my age, therefore, I've never heard of them. ;)

12:06 am

jillibus

tawdry

12:06 am

jillibus

woops!

12:07 am

helenkeller

i was testing while ya'll were flipping : i'm ESFJ - this sounds familiar (even though it's been 20+ years)

12:07 am

moonriver919

i know what zoot suits are; learned about them in history

12:07 am

wassup

i'm enfj helen

12:08 am

12:08 am

12:09 am

ls1

hey helen - i was in your neighborhood today getting my car emission tested!

12:10 am

helenkeller

ls1 - then you were 1 block from my house on your way there!!!!

12:10 am

helenkeller

you could have stopped by & helped me wash my dogs, lol

12:10 am

leanne42

hi all how many words?

12:10 am

ls1

are you just off forest preserve?

12:10 am

jillibus

131, leanne

12:11 am

helenkeller

i'm right off harlem, 2 block south of irving

12:11 am

jillibus

door

12:11 am

leanne42

thanks!

12:11 am

ls1

that is close!

12:12 am

helenkeller

i'm assuming you drove up harlem to get there - i was so happy they put that place there, before i used to have to go way into the heart of congested yuppie-ville

12:12 am

ls1

i did - i used to go to hillside - 290 is much easier to travel than harlem

12:13 am

helenkeller

wass- i was 1 on the intuitive/sensing, so we could almost be the same!

12:13 am

ls1

but at least i get to stop at caputo's!

12:13 am

helenkeller

yes, harlem is a major hassle - i wish they could figure out a way to make it 2 lanes here

12:13 am

helenkeller

lol - that place is nuts :)

12:14 am

jillibus

rats! i did it again! SO sorry. Maybe nobody noticed?

12:35 am

stidmama

those who are interested I have some preliminary data up at Babbler's Anon under Meet and Greet about the Myers Briggs discussion of yesterday. anyone who wants to add themselves can reply to that thread...

12:36 am

kierlex

12:36 am

kierlex

oh, what is babblers anon? i should check it out. am so lame

12:36 am

wassup

thanks stid

12:36 am

stidmama

going to find a new icon...

12:37 am

joey

stid - do you have the grid that tells you in a sentence or two in a funny way what the letters mean?

12:37 am

woman

helo

12:37 am

JaiKnut

Olivia is very dr5/12+y, and yet, its not a word??

12:37 am

joey

for example, mine was I have no trouble totally concentrating - oh, look there is a bird - on my work

12:38 am

stidmama

okay, new icon loaded, refresh for my take on the day's theme!

12:38 am

kierlex

that is cool, stid (the myers brigg breakdown on babble anon)

12:38 am

sleeky

I know, no mom can believe that's not a word!

12:38 am

stidmama

it's really interesting, but then I get into demographics and stuff like that big time!

12:39 am

kierlex

i think dr...y should be a word, too

12:39 am

sleeky

what is todayt's theme?

12:39 am

kierlex

i was going to do gondwanaland for my plate icon but i was distracted by license plates

12:40 am

stidmama

Knut, are things working out for you-all since you got back to work?

12:40 am

joey

stid - did you see my ???

12:40 am

kristinc

stid...I just checked it out, very cool. It is so interesting reading what others are

12:41 am

JaiKnut

indeed they are working out pretty good. I never see my husand, but Olivia has adapted to the routine so very well

12:42 am

kierlex

what are you talking about jaiknut if i may ask?

12:42 am

stidmama

sorry joey, missed it. trying to multitask....no, I don't have that!

12:42 am

kristinc

woah...I though jaiknut was an imposter...what's the deal?

12:42 am

stidmama

well, I am glad it's working for Liv...

12:43 am

stidmama

kristin, I thought so too. So I wrote to Knutmeg and her mom and checked it out. They responded that this is a legit combo name for them.

12:43 am

JaiKnut

kierlex-stid asked me how things were going since I went back to work. I was on maternity leave until May 1st, I had my baby, Olivia, in March. My husband and I work opposite shifts so we don't have to pay for child care.

12:43 am

kristinc

gotcha...now I won't ignore them...hi to you both!

12:43 am

wassup

stid, checked out the meyers brigg thing. pretty neat!

12:44 am

Bambam

hi mum

12:44 am

kierlex

ahh, JaiKnut, i figured it was shift work. My hubby and i are often on totally opposite shifts. It does work out well for child care (esp as long as baby naps) but can be hard on marriage!

12:44 am

stidmama

thanks wassup. It'll be fun to see if anyone else responds to the survey!

12:44 am

JaiKnut

hi back!

12:44 am

wassup

i never doubted you guys!!!! :) actually after stid did i was starting to.

12:44 am

wassup

who's your mum bambam?

12:44 am

wassup

Wha????

12:45 am

stidmama

Bambam -- when did you go pro?

12:45 am

JaiKnut

Just to prove I am here, too, stid, your last emaqil to me was entitled "miss you"- Jai

12:46 am

stidmama

LOL Jai, glad you're on too! I was afraid I had offended you by being so suspicious!

12:46 am

Bambam

just went pro today (first day!) my mum is just playing for fun, and she never went pro (thank goodness!!)

12:46 am

kierlex

i feel like i am stepping into an existing circle of friends so excuse my nosy behavior

12:47 am

JaiKnut

We actually thought JaiKnut was a very cute name!

12:47 am

kristinc

um...I'd like to take this opportunity to say "this grid stinks" pfft! (I like to use that word now)

12:47 am

stidmama

being curious and nosy... do you and Knut know your myers briggs types? (it is a cute name!)

12:47 am

sleeky

wait a minute, *I* am Bambam's mom!

12:47 am

sleeky

;-) (Bam Bam is m son's nickname)

12:47 am

wassup

pfft is right! this is awful!

12:47 am

wassup

no, i'm bambam's mom

12:47 am

stidmama

Bambam you did really well on the last grid.... I am glad you decided to join us!

12:47 am

JaiKnut

I like to use pbpppppppppppst, myself

12:48 am

Bambam

I'm Spartacus!

12:48 am

kristinc

this would be a good day for holy crap!

12:48 am

sleeky

I'm Batman!

12:48 am

Bambam

how do you guys know what the first two letters, length, and points are of the ones you're missing?]

12:49 am

JaiKnut

yeah, um, if you give me a minute or two I can look up my myers-brigg type had t otake the test for premarital counselling, and I think I kept the results on my computer somewhere...

12:49 am

wassup

sleeky, does your son hit things with a club? my son runs into things. we call him the viking or tyrant depending on the day

12:49 am

kierlex

i am the walrus, coo coo ca choo

12:49 am

wassup

bambam, look at lickety's clues at the bottom of the page.

12:49 am

sleeky

thankfully no, he' s just very big and strong.

12:50 am

stidmama

we use Lickety's list (link in the "friends of babble" at the bottom of this page; or BrandyJack's clues which are available in the Babbler's Anonymous site later in the day.

12:50 am

JaiKnut

Actually, Meg is doing the puzzle now while I chat, but we only have about 30 or so words to go, so this seems to be working out very well for us- we think differently, you see. -Jai

12:50 am

wassup

uh oh...allergies are kicking in. gonna take a benadryl and then fall asleep with laptop.

12:50 am

Bambam

JaiKnut

12:54 am

stidmama

I am glad this new arrangement is working for you Jai and Knut.

12:54 am

JaiKnut

maybe perhaps the chatting thing isn't quite so... well thought out yet... (says Megan)

12:55 am

stidmama

I am absolutely beat. Going to eat a banana to feed my monkeys for tomorrow and then to sleep. Glad to have caught up with you again friends... :-) good night!

12:56 am

JaiKnut

4:23 am

Atalante

4:24 am

Maddie26

ty cat, do you have anymore?? BTW those clues are better cause i can understand them more!!

They really are wonderful animals Ata...Love the name Rothko!

4:26 am

Atalante

what's his name, Deutsch?

4:26 am

amandacath

does anyone have the de5/12? It seems to be hiding from me.

4:26 am

Cat9x

Maddie, EN plus the 2nd letter of your name, plus T plus 2nd vowel :)

4:27 am

Maddie26

4:27 am

Deutsch

4:27 am

Deutsch

pits have a bad rep, but that's just a reflection on the owners.

4:27 am

Atalante

the people next door are arty people, so they have Rothko, then their cats are Coco (Chanel), Kandinsky, Gilbert and George. I got my kit from them and she was originally called Bridget (O'Reilly) and another kit in Coco's litter was Frida (Kahlo). All very artisty!

4:28 am

Atalante

I'm *sure* - people make their dogs

4:28 am

Cat9x

Maddie,,,EN plus the 3rd letter of my name plus 3rd vowel plus first vowel

4:28 am

Maddie26

ty cat i need 1 more i think.

4:28 am

Maddie26

is that right?? 1 more??

4:29 am

Maddie26

ty cat...is that all???

4:29 am

Cat9x

Agreed, PEOPLE do make the dog. Rotts get a bad rap because of the inhumane handlers, it's a pity, they are wonderful faithful lovely dogs.

4:29 am

Deutsch

Atlante, what a coincidence, a friend has a cat named Kandinski

4:29 am

Cat9x

Deutsch

I've known a couple of rotties. Very nice dogs and people.

4:30 am

KittyVane

but since my kittie is a girl, Kafka didn't quite fit

4:30 am

Maddie26

cat do you have all of the t words??

4:31 am

Atalante

and I feel so sorry for Rothko. One day he's going to get into trouble, I just know it. He's like a big puppy with me cos I used to walk him every day with my dog and he knows I love him. But his owners don't seem to care much about him, and now he doesn't get enough walks or enough attention, and a few months ago, he bit someone really badly. And I just *know* its his owners' fault

4:31 am

Deutsch

My cat's name is Hester, an anagram of Esther, but also named for Hester Prynne

4:32 am

can i please have some clues for the t words cat???

4:32 am

KittyVane

Which T words are you looking for Maddie?
I have 1 of the first T, 9 of the second and 3 of the last

4:32 am

Deutsch

Atalante, that is so sad. dogs want to be good, I believe

Yes Maddie, I will clue you some in a minute ok? I need to make some tea, Kitty also said she will clue you a couple :)

4:33 am

Atalante

4:33 am

Maddie26

4:33 am

Deutsch

4:34 am

KittyVane

Okies, T-words:
When you're about 11 to 19 years old, you're known as a te**

4:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. Another brilliantly sunny day here.

4:35 am

Maddie26

4:35 am

KittyVane

And when you're feeling sleepy, you are ti***

4:35 am

KittyVane

ah, okies

4:35 am

Deutsch

Hi Haz!

4:36 am

amandacath

Hi Haz!

4:36 am

KittyVane

well the te4/4 word has two of the same letters in the middle

4:36 am

Atalante

hi Haz :)

4:36 am

Haz1558

And how is the grid treating everyone today?

4:37 am

Maddie26

ok dont worry kitty cause i have to go now anyway

4:37 am

Cat9x

Maddie, t plus 4th vowel twice plus t. Another..t plus 2nd vowel plus N plus T. Another...t plus 3rd vowel plus R plus 4th vowel :)

4:37 am

Deutsch

Haz, ugh on the grid.

4:37 am

amandacath

I went almost straight to the list, Haz - not feeling very patient today

4:37 am

Cat9x

ahh ok, bye Maddie :)

4:37 am

Haz1558

Oh dear! That sounds ominous.....

4:37 am

KittyVane

You're better at clueing that way than I am Cat :)

4:38 am

KittyVane

I'm at 48 words and haven't gone to the list yet!

4:38 am

KittyVane

B'bye Maddie

4:38 am

Maddie26

bye all

4:38 am

Cat9x

Kitty, She understands it better, I tried the clueing way, she didn't understand, so I do it this way.

4:39 am

Maddie26

and happy babbling!!!! i will probably be on tomorrow so i will speak then!!! bye for now!!!!!!!!!!

4:39 am

Cat9x

I never use the list, but then I rarely finish either :)

4:39 am

Cat9x

bye Maddie!!

4:39 am

ExWren

Is hershy in the house at the moment?

4:39 am

Maddie26

ty for all your help everyone!!!!!

4:40 am

Deutsch

bye, maddie, Hi exWren!

4:40 am

Cat9x

you're welcome Maddie

4:40 am

Haz1558

It would be very early for her, ex-Wren. - happy birthday for yesterday, by the way.

4:40 am

KittyVane

I can't get my head out of the clueing way... my brain just doesn't seem to want to bend any other way...
Or then I just need to have breakfast to jump start the noggin'

4:40 am

amandacath

Hi Wren! Did you have a good day yesterday? Hurshy generally comes on later, afternoon our time

4:40 am

Cat9x

I had a hard time too, but then just gave away the consonants and clued the vowels

4:42 am

Cat9x

I kind if hate to do it that way, don't want to give it away to others, but that is all she understood.

4:42 am

Cat9x

*of

4:43 am

amandacath

I like Kitty's sort of clues better - Maddie needs to be more patient and think about them, that's all.

4:44 am

Cat9x

true amanda, I tried and tried to clue, but she kept saying she didn't understand. I think she is just really young.

4:44 am

Haz1558

I think it's difficult to know what level to pitch clues at when people really don't know even simple words. The young ones seem to want results without putting in their own effort. BUt that's life!

4:44 am

ExWren

Thank you for your good wishes. Yes I had a good day, did some gardening in the morning, then hubby took me out to lunch. Two of my sons came around later with some of the grandchildren. A grandson and granddaughter came around independently, and my eldest son phoned from the US (working for a few days), so little time for babble. only managed 62 words! I though hershy was logged in.

4:44 am

Cat9x

True Haz!

4:45 am

Atalante

she leaves herself logged in generally I think

4:45 am

Haz1558

Good to know you had a good day. Hurshy, like me, may stay logged in all the time, even when not here.

4:45 am

Cat9x

I stay logged in all the time also

4:46 am

KittyVane

So do I, I can never be bothered to log out

4:46 am

Atalante

same here

4:47 am

amandacath

Maddie is young - MrP's and Lickety's littlie, if I'm not mistaken. Still, I think she's old enough to understand "if you're between 13 and 18 years old, you are a te**"

4:48 am

Cat9x

I agree, seemed obvious to me, but she couldn't grasp it.

4:48 am

Atalante

*refresh* for very happy (and muddy) spaniel at the beach last night

4:48 am

KittyVane

Is she really trying to understand the clues or is she just impatient and wants the words right off?

4:49 am

ExWren

OK, I just wanted hershy to chech out my icon. It's for Hershys Chocolate!

4:49 am

Cat9x

I'm not sure Kitty. I am thinking they want them handed to them, I could be wrong.

4:50 am

amandacath

I'm willing to bet she just wanted to get the word in and not take the time to think about it. It's so hard to get kids to understand that "winning" isn't the point of the game

4:50 am

KittyVane

I just have a hard time believing that she doesn't understand the clues, how ever simple they might be

4:51 am

Haz1558

Atalante - I love it! That tongue hanging out and the look of contentment!

4:51 am

amandacath

Maybe we should simply ask MrP!

4:51 am

Cat9x

Exactly Amanda, if winning was the point, I would never play! LOL I rarely finish, but thats ok, I enjoy the game and everyday I learn at least one new word.

4:51 am

Deutsch

Atalante! happy puppy! and a cutie!

4:51 am

Atalante

she was having such a wonderful time! running through the very squelchy mud and chasing seagulls!

4:52 am

Haz1558

Spangle has a thing about chasing birds as well. The triumph of hope over experience!

4:52 am

Cat9x

I am thinking she doesn't understand the half words with the **** in them, that the *** are what you need to add to make the word, thats the impression I got.

4:52 am

amandacath

Oh, hi Ata! I missed you as I was busy analyzing the minds of children - something I actually know next to nothing about.

4:52 am

KittyVane

Oh, such a happy puppy! :D

4:53 am

Atalante

the perfect way to put it, Haz! Hobbit loves chasing them even when they are high in the sky. I keep telling her not to bother, but ....

4:53 am

Atalante

is it actually possible to analyse children's minds? lol

4:54 am

FranMag

hi everybody! i've been lurking and trying to get through the list, still have 12 left!

4:54 am

FranMag

that's after going through the list!

4:54 am

Cat9x

I have 39 left and a HUGE headache lol

4:54 am

Deutsch

My pup barks at birds. He's very jealous that he can't fly. He tries by jumping off the deck (the deck is only two feet from the ground)

4:54 am

Cat9x

Hi fran!!

4:54 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag - you'll be able to clue the rest of us then.

4:54 am

Deutsch

Wow, fran, that's excellent!

4:55 am

FranMag

haz, i'll help with what i can until i get too sleepy

4:55 am

manicmama

is there a secret to the z words?

4:55 am

amandacath

Hi Fran!

4:55 am

FranMag

hi again cat!

4:55 am

Preethi

Hello Haz, Hello Fran

4:55 am

Preethi

Hi Atlante

4:55 am

Deutsch

manic, one z is a greek letter

4:55 am

FranMag

manic, not if you know greek and japanese!

4:55 am

FranMag

hi preethi

4:55 am

Haz1558

Hello preethi - are you well today?

4:56 am

Atalante

awwww deutsch - that must be remarkably amusing to watch!

4:56 am

FranMag

let me know if you want clues manicmama!

4:56 am

amandacath

Wow! Breaking announcement - CNN has *new video* of Zarkawi's DNA! Geez, that's something the world needs to see!

4:56 am

Cat9x

the zo was actually very easy for me, almost identical to my Grandmothers name.

4:56 am

Haz1558

ze4/9 - middle name of Catherine, wife of Michael Doublas

4:56 am

KittyVane

And the second Z is a japanese sandal

4:57 am

Deutsch

It's a scream, Atalante! He takes this flying leap. At first, we thought he would go over the gate, but he's too muscle bound.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Douglas,even

4:57 am

Atalante

video of DNA? that must be - um - fascinating viewing!

4:57 am

Preethi

Iam doing good. Thank you. How have you been Haz?

4:57 am

amandacath

Boy, let me tell you! Did you know that DNA looks like a military duffle bag? I certainly didn't!

4:57 am

Haz1558

I've been pretty busy the past few days but the sun is shining so everything looks good.

4:58 am

Cat9x

I knew that amanda, mine looks like a denim backpack :)

4:59 am

manicmama

got both of the z's thanks you guys

4:59 am

Atalante

at least you've got DNA in the news. All we've had for the last week is Wayne Rooney's foot

4:59 am

amandacath

I think mine looks like a pink straw basket

4:59 am

Cat9x

lol

5:00 am

manicmama

who is wayne rooney

5:01 am

FranMag

did anyone get the at6/18?

5:01 am

amandacath

Ata - I've got CNN international running in the background. Otherwise I'd only have Michael Ballack's calf

5:01 am

Atalante

wayne rooney is a footballer, who broke a bone in his foot. which was national trauma and has occupied the news for weeks

5:01 am

Deutsch

no to the at 6

5:02 am

Cat9x

I havent Fran, missing that one

5:02 am

Atalante

urf. Ballack's calf must be just as boring

5:02 am

Deutsch

Atalante, was rooney set to play in the world cup?

5:02 am

Haz1558

He's considered to be the star player for the team.

5:03 am

manicmama

I am in US ...but I understand....sometimes the media goes gaga over the most trivial of news

5:03 am

Deutsch

Ooh, then I'm sorry to hear that.

5:03 am

amandacath

the at6 is when you are absorbed in somthing, you are at**** upon it. Or where the sleeping bag is when camping.

5:03 am

Atalante

of the scale that the general opinion is that we'll win the world cup with him, and not without him *sigh*

5:03 am

Haz1558

He's not nearly as decorative as some of the other team members, but he is a good player (so they say).

5:04 am

FranMag

thanks amanda! i thought i had tried that!

5:04 am

amandacath

And yes, Ballack's calf is quite boring - but at least he's cuter than Wayne Rooney. Or decorative, as Haz says

5:04 am

Atalante

Rooney certainly isn't very decorative. Thank goodness for the Italians!

5:05 am

FranMag

found the at7/28, anyone want a clue?

5:05 am

amandacath

oooo the Italians! I generally like to look at the Dutch boys, too. And the South Americans almost always have plenty to offer.

5:05 am

Deutsch

I'm with you on that one, Atalante!

5:05 am

mickie12

yes please fran

5:06 am

FranMag

the at7/28 becomes the 8

5:06 am

Haz1558

If it's free, we'll take it Fran!

5:06 am

manicmama

still looking for the sleeping bag

5:06 am

Cat9x

Thanks amanda, got it :)

5:07 am

Atalante

But no Paulo Maldini this time round. That's a serious blow to the attractiveness of the World Cup

5:07 am

FranMag

at7/28, it's related to a the word at****ion that means to reduce personnel by just letting them leave and not replacing them

5:07 am

amandacath

CNN has this "put together your own best team of all time" thingy going. I've considered sending in the best-looking players ever in, just to see if they'd publish it!

5:07 am

Cat9x

manic, just as she clued ...at plus what you put your sleeping bag in while camping, or, a pup ****

5:08 am

FranMag

at7/28, at + overused, the 8 is the past tense of it

5:08 am

Deutsch

I'd like to see that, Amandacath!

5:08 am

Atalante

think you should, amanda. nothing wrong with utter shallowness and ogling at footballers :)

5:09 am

pam

they are great clues...when you remember there are TWO A's in the grid...8-)

5:09 am

Cat9x

Ohhhhh, they have some gorgeous footballers don't they!!

5:10 am

Haz1558

Got them - thank you.

5:10 am

amandacath

I try to be as utterly shallow as possible when submitting myself to football. It's the only way to counterbalance the life-and-death earnestness of so many people (read: men).

5:10 am

Deutsch

Well, I think I'll toddle off to bed. see y'all later (unless you're watching the footballers! I hope to)

5:11 am

Haz1558

Bye Deutsch - sleep well.

5:11 am

Atalante

bye Deutsch :)

5:11 am

amandacath

See ya deutch!

5:14 am

Cat9x

en plus spanish aunt?

5:15 am

amandacath

bad monkeys! thx cat!

5:15 am

Eva

good morning everyone! This looks like a real stinker. Small and mean.

5:15 am

Cat9x

lol, you're welcome amanda, my monkey misbehaves all the time ! :)

5:16 am

Cat9x

good morning Eva!

5:16 am

amandacath

Mornin' Eva! I pulled up the list after about 40 words - no patience today

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning Eva. I've got to 68 but am thinking of the list. The t letter is entirely over-represented.

5:18 am

amandacath

since when is L4/5+y not a word!?

5:18 am

Haz1558

I tried that as well, amanda.

5:19 am

Cat9x

I wondered that too

5:19 am

KittyVane

I just tired "doody" and giggled while doing so :D

5:19 am

Cat9x

lol

5:19 am

KittyVane

I'm feeling very mature today

5:20 am

amandacath

hee-hee!

5:20 am

Haz1558

lottie and dottie, the tottie sisters aren't allowed in either.

5:20 am

Atalante

lottie and dottie who own a rottie, even!

5:21 am

Haz1558

Yes!

5:21 am

pam

yes, and it won't go pottie

5:21 am

amandacath

Totti should be accepted today, in honor of the World Cup

5:22 am

Atalante

Totti should be accepted any day LOL

5:22 am

Cat9x

i tried zoot, for the old time "zoot suits"

5:23 am

KittyVane

I tried zoot too, several times

5:23 am

amandacath

Very true, very true Ata. There were a couple of days about a month ago when they weren't sure he was going to make the team. I thought I was going to have to suffer through the world cup without him!

5:23 am

Atalante

Its bad enough within Maldini, but without Totti too? Unthinkable!

5:24 am

Cat9x

Zoot should be a word, nooooo, instead the have words like krooni LOL

5:24 am

mrpresident

So do we request a world cup grid!??

5:24 am

Cat9x

*they

I second the request for a hint for the te7

5:34 am

mrpresident

atalante, the te is stupid ! ... it includes the ro4 meaning past tense of ride

5:35 am

Atalante

thanks mrp! I could have sworn I'd tried that before!

5:35 am

Eva

thanks mrp. Have no idea what it means, but that's true of many of the words in thi grid

5:37 am

5:41 am

Angelsong

I'm hoping today is calmer than yesterday. I fell getting out of bed, and was on the floor for a while before I could get up. I wasn't hurt, but I was shaken up. very nervous the rest of the day.

5:41 am

Haz1558

The cheap and gaudy ta6/39 may sound like Miss Hepburn, but she was never this.

5:41 am

Oh dear, Angel! Hope you're feeling better

oh angel-how frightening. Why did you fall?

5:42 am

That was the first word I saw today, Haz. Yesterday my first words were "fine ar**" - I'm beginning to be concerned about myself!

5:42 am

FranMag

i hope there were no after affects angelson!

5:43 am

FranMag

i want detente to be in this grid!

5:43 am

FranMag

5:43 am

Angelsong

I put my chair too close to the bed, and couldn't get past it to get my feet under me. D U M B.

5:44 am

Cat9x

oh Lo**y, why can't I use that?

5:44 am

Eva

this grid is making me cranky. Think I'll go feed Merp and take a bath and see if it looks any better when I return.

5:44 am

Jacula

Poor Angel! You'd best take it easy today. (((HUGS)))

5:44 am

FranMag

i tried also cat!!

5:44 am

FranMag

5:45 am

Angelsong

I tried to work yesterday, but I was shaking so much I couldn't type. so I gave up. I'll work Saturday to make up the time.

5:45 am

5:48 am

amandacath

te7 - a four-poled battery?

Haz1558

5:49 am

FranMag

great clue amanda!!

5:50 am

amandacath

glad it worked!

5:51 am

KittyVane

I blame my bad progress with the gird on the fact that they're FINALLY installing our doors, thus there is a lot of drilling and banging going on

5:52 am

FranMag

that's as good a reason as any kittyvane!

5:52 am

jean1953

how many words are there today please?

5:52 am

FranMag

Good Morning all....and congrats MrP

5:58 am

Hi Kallia!

5:58 am

jean1953

good morning kallia

5:58 am

mrpresident

Amanda, Maddison is my little one... Maddie is a young one from mps school

5:58 am

KittyVane

I have Babble-rhitis too Amandacath

5:59 am

Jacula

I'm at the halfway mark. Time to have something to eat. BRB

6:00 am

Angelsong

MrP: would you like me to post a link to your website on the Resource page?

6:00 am

amandacath

Ah - well then, never mind!

6:01 am

mrpresident

my website? I have to go create one!! Let me get onto it and will email it to you!

6:01 am

mrpresident

amanda, what did maddie do??

6:01 am

Angelsong

MrP: I thought you had one already?

6:01 am

mrpresident

I have been given strict instructions for the kids from mps and I need to know what is going on there... so if they are misbehaving, please let me know.

6:02 am

mrpresident

Angel, I have a business one, but not a personal one... I would rather create a personal one and give that to you. Is that OK?

6:03 am

amandacath

Oh, she wasn't misbehaving, she was just not trying hard enough to understand the clues given to her. At least that's what we suspected, and after musing back and forth on the subject, I thought it would be easiest to simply ask her mother if that were the case.

6:03 am

mickie12

mrp,,,,, they dont realise the dangers of the web and one keeps giving names out!!

6:04 am

Angelsong

sure, MrP. but it's ok to post the commercial one. see the other links on the resource page for babblers' sites.

6:05 am

mrpresident

OH, those kids are 11 or 12 and they are very sweet, but they are young and don't understand the clues!
I have to say they just don't have the maturity to understand the nature of chat.
you are right mickie, they will be suspended if they continue to do that! and they have been warned.
I hope they calm down soon

6:05 am

FranMag

aargh! thanks mrp, finally got that clue, i'm being really dense!

6:06 am

phandmd

I must be denser, because I haven't gotten it yet

6:07 am

mrpresident

de6 - if you break the law, the police de**** you (hold you) and gather the facts

6:07 am

mickie12

i had a real strange encounter with some one the other night who pretended to know me!!!! but didnt know my name so its not just the kids

6:08 am

phandmd

Thanx, Mr. P. now not so dense! I am off to curves to work out. bbl

6:08 am

amandacath

Do they really not understand the clues, or are they just not willing to take the time to think about them? I mean, a clue like "If you're between 13 and 18 you are a te**" isn't that complicated ... or?

6:09 am

FranMag

later phandmd

6:09 am

jean1953

am off for a while folks hopefully bbl have a good day everyone:)

6:10 am

KittyVane

I keep seeing "totoro" in the grid :D

6:11 am

FranMag

kitty, if you haven't tried already, part of that word works

6:11 am

amandacath

dr6/27 - an arid piece of land? Hmmm, that's boring. Will have to mull that one over...

6:11 am

KittyVane

I have that word

6:12 am

KittyVane

hence I came about To**** :)

6:13 am

amandacath

Oh, I give up - anyone have the te5/12?

6:13 am

FranMag

amanda, i was thinking it was related to dr* goods at a supply store or something

6:13 am

Haz1558

Going to take a break. I'll be back later.

6:14 am

FranMag

amanda, rhymes with stained

6:14 am

Angelsong

Mr Clemens is back in the grid.....

6:14 am

amandacath

maybe a bunch of people with no sense of humor? "My, this is a d6!"

6:14 am

FranMag

later haz!

6:15 am

FranMag

that's a good one amanda! i liked the other one too though

6:19 am

Kallia

6:20 am

FranMag

thanks amanda and kallia, i can't believe i missed that one!

6:20 am

FranMag

i see it now, i zigged when i should have zagged!

6:21 am

mrpresident

sorry, phone rang!

the kids don't get those clues at all... we do but they don't
I don't bother to clue the kids cause they generally have no patience, but if it is really easy like "I to** you so!" I give that to them!

6:21 am

Angelsong

there is lfe after the T's.

6:22 am

*kathy*

hmmm, thanks mrP

6:22 am

FranMag

my new phantom word, trident

I so sound like a mum!! I to** you so!!

6:22 am

FranMag

awesome kallia!

6:23 am

Kallia

am struggling with 45 to go

6:23 am

Kallia

all those t's get in the way!

6:23 am

*kathy*

oh! whoops, i get it now...

6:23 am

FranMag

i have 3 left, still struggling!

6:23 am

KittyVane

I have 65 to go and I'm struggling already!

6:23 am

Kallia

well done Fran :)

6:23 am

Kallia

I may have to get the list soon

6:24 am

mickie12

60 left an droppin slowly

6:24 am

FranMag

i hit the list after 83 words, i was totally stuck

6:24 am

KittyVane

I'm hating the Ts with a passion

6:24 am

mrpresident

I have to let you all know! Lickety wants to take a break from the clue list...

6:25 am

amandacath

My phantom today is troll.
I'm never sure whether to clue the kids or not - if it seems like they're really trying, I hate not to encourage them, but it does get frustrating. There are good reasons I'm neither a mother nor a teacher!

6:25 am

mrpresident

and bab anon has no stat list at the moment. I told him it might be a bit of a bother.... no stats at all

6:25 am

Kallia

would that be to do with patience Amanda?

6:25 am

Kallia

:)

6:26 am

Dianne

mrp - you must be jesting - right?

6:26 am

amandacath

Oh no! I'm lost without the list! And BJ was on last night and said he'd quit doing his because lickety's was so good!

6:26 am

Kallia

Brandy Jack not doing it anymore?

6:26 am

FranMag

brandyjack was on earlier and didn't think anyone was using his list anymore, a lot of people told him to start doing it again

6:26 am

amandacath

And yes, Kallia - patience is not one of my virtues!

6:27 am

Kallia

mine neither so recognise the trait :)

6:27 am

Dianne

how can we persuade him to keep doing in - for the sanity of us babblers :)

6:27 am

KittyVane

Any clues for the other word for the second N?
I have the one meaning not messy.

6:27 am

*kathy*

oh, amandacath! i always thought you were so patient. just because us kids dont get things...

6:28 am

Kallia

maybe lickety and brandy jack could get a rota going?

6:28 am

FranMag

kitty, like something you catch butterflies with, just double the last letter

6:28 am

Kallia

weight after all packaging is removed Kitty

6:28 am

Jacula

Kitty - the other 'n' is your wages after tax etc is taken.

6:28 am

KittyVane

Thank you Fran!

6:28 am

mrpresident

is brandy jack backing out?? I didn't know that! where is this in the log... I have to look!

6:29 am

FranMag

kallia said a word!! ;-)

6:29 am

KittyVane

and Jacula too

6:29 am

FranMag

mrp, he said he hadn't been updating because he didn't think anyone needed his list anymore.

6:29 am

mrpresident

why would brandyjack not do it anymore

6:30 am

Angelsong

100 words down!

6:30 am

FranMag

go angelsong!

6:30 am

amandacath

Kathy, that's why I generally stay out of it. I don't hold it against you, it's my fault for not being patient enough.

6:30 am

Kallia

maybe because lickety is perceived to be the one to use?

6:30 am

mrpresident

yesterday, I heard he was on holiday for a couple of weeks! I have no idea what is going on there!!

6:30 am

Jacula

Maybe he felt sidelined?

6:31 am

mrpresident

Did he say that jac?

6:31 am

Jacula

Dunno, MrP. I didn't see the log.

6:31 am

*kathy*

ok...

6:32 am

Angelsong

brandyjack's list is needed! I hope he continues doing it.

6:32 am

FranMag

tr5/20 anyone?

6:32 am

Kallia

we need to tell him that Angelsong

6:32 am

dalmatian5

Brandjack you cannot imagine how much I miss your list! I like the way it is set up. I know it is a lot of work but we totally use and appreciate it.

6:33 am

Dianne

tr+ 1st 3 letters of the "seep" word.

6:33 am

mattygroves

Oh my - I'll have to quit babble without the list :(

6:33 am

amandacath

I jumped on late last night to finish, and BJ popped in. He didn't seem insulted, but you never know. I use lickety's basically 'cause it's easier to get to.

6:33 am

Jacula

I imagine it's quite a responsibility to be relied upon my so many to provide stats come what may. What happens if you're ill or away? A ro** of two or more would be ideal for the stat providers, I imagine.

6:33 am

FranMag

thanks dianne, got it just as your clue came up, never thought to go that way!

6:33 am

Jacula

Just a suggestion.

6:35 am

Kallia

I mentioned that a few mins ago Jacula...its where I said a word lol...was searching like mad and didn't see what word it was until you posted! doh!!!

6:35 am

amandacath

That's a wierd word - any clue what it means? (the tr5/20, I mean)

6:36 am

FranMag

there is no def at dictionary.com, i'll try somewhere else.

6:36 am

mrpresident

I just chatted to Lickety, brandyjack and him have never talked... suggestion noted, but not on the cards.

6:36 am

Aloyisius

Good Morning All..

6:36 am

amandacath

Hi Aly!

6:36 am

amandacath

ummm Aloy, that is

6:37 am

mrpresident

so no clue list for a couple of weeks??

I guess brandyjack would have to come back!

6:37 am

Kallia

morning Aloy...well afternoon here :)

6:37 am

Aloyisius

I am relieved to hear that BJ is not ill, but it saddens me to think that he might think his list is unappreciated.

6:37 am

FranMag

tr5/20 def from wikipedia: a municipality located in the Belgian province of LiÃ¨ge

6:38 am

Aloyisius

It used to take me SO long to complete a grid - it is doable without lists, but just barely (if you have a life!)

6:38 am

Jacula

Maybe if people put their thoughts, suggestions, appreciation of BJ on his stats thread on BabAnon he might have a re-think?

6:38 am

Kallia

MrP is lickety not going to do the list for a couple of weeks? There would be no 'have to' about Brady Jack coming back though

6:38 am

FranMag

i didn't think proper nouns were allowed so it must mean something else in enable

6:38 am

mrpresident

I can easily make lickety ill for a couple of weeks! perhaps BJ would reconsider if you all let him know he is needed

6:38 am

Aloyisius

I like the organization of both lists; BJ's h as the synopsis at the top which I use before going to the more detailed list.

6:39 am

amandacath

And that's me finished!
Argh, that can't be it, Fran .... will go hunting for it

6:39 am

FranMag

yay amanda!

6:39 am

Aloyisius

Wow, hurray for amandacath!

6:39 am

Kallia

wd amanda :)

6:39 am

Merk

I have am stuck already on the 'at' words. I am not seeing something. Is there a clue here. The vowels don't seem connected to the right consonants at all.

6:39 am

Jacula

MrP - That's rather worrying! You're not planning to poison poor Lickety, are you?? LOL

6:39 am

KittyVane

Well done Amanda!

6:39 am

FranMag

to6/21 and to6/18?

6:39 am

Jacula

Well done, Amanda!

6:40 am

FranMag

merk, except for the last two they are unrelated to each other

6:40 am

Dianne

to6/21 - it when your blown your horn,

6:41 am

FranMag

of course it is dianne! i was looking in the wrong direction again. thanks!

6:41 am

Jacula

Thanks, Dianne. I hadn't thought to work backwards on that word.

6:41 am

Dianne

to6/18 - think of the word that means make a hem and instead of an s start it with a t.

6:41 am

amandacath

only did it with the list - it's a trying grid today

6:42 am

FranMag

first at5/10 is roman courtyard

6:42 am

mrpresident

Well, if BJ and Lickety do no list, what for you all??

I have been planning plenty for Lickety!! And doing clue lists everyday is not what I had planned for him!! He only does it because he loves to and thinks you guys appreciate it. If his list is better received than BJ, so be it,
But BJ is his own person and he knows how many hits he is getting. Hope he reconsiders.

6:42 am

Merk

A clue for at 5/10 and on please?

6:42 am

Kallia

well we can go back to the old way....just clue it :)

6:43 am

FranMag

thanks dianne, will ponder that clue

6:43 am

FranMag

merk, clue at 6:42

6:43 am

amandacath

found the def for tr5/20 - alt spelling for "close-fitting tartan trousers"

6:44 am

Jacula

Kallia - True. Many of us do all, or the majority, of the grid that way but use the lists for really 'stuck' words. Those who like the lists from the start might be troubled, though.

6:44 am

Aloyisius

lOL amanda.. now everyone should have that in their vocabs!

6:44 am

Kallia

well done Amanda...was thinking it might be something like that ! Thank you for the info :)

6:44 am

Kallia

Yes Jacula I see that could be a problem.....

6:45 am

Merk

Thanks, I typed that in Fran, but I don't know how it is there. I couldn't get to my final letter. I must need coffee before I do this.

6:45 am

amandacath

How did we manage pre-google?

6:45 am

KittyVane

Badly I'd say

6:45 am

Jacula

Amanda - we used those paper things called books! LOL.

6:45 am

Kallia

well I hae got one word in the last 30 mins...

6:45 am

FranMag

merk, it starts from the bottom A, so do the other ATs

6:45 am

Aloyisius

It really boils down to how much TIME you have for Babble in a day; I love to chat and interact, but I lurk when I am pressed for time (that is most of the time, unfortunately)...

6:46 am

Merk

atrial

6:46 am

Kallia

I do that too Aloy

6:46 am

Dianne

Fran - think of the opp of lengthen - but drop the s and add a t.

6:46 am

Aloyisius

Hi Kallia..

6:46 am

Jacula

I was wondering only the other day how many public libraries Google has put out of business.

6:47 am

Angelsong

I just stated a new thread in BA under General for the Babble "Lists"....

6:47 am

FranMag

thanks dianne! got that one and my fireworks!

6:47 am

Kallia

Dianne thank yo for that clue :)

6:47 am

amandacath

books - ah yes, I remember the days...

6:47 am

Aloyisius

Jacula... think of the poor dinosaurs called encyclopedia salesmen!

6:47 am

Kallia

WD Fran :)

6:48 am

Aloyisius

Yay, FranMag!

6:48 am

Jacula

Aloy - No loss! The old Brittanica chaps who took over people's homes for hours. LOL

6:48 am

Jacula

Angel - Will look in a bit.

6:48 am

Aloyisius

Yes, I remember...

6:48 am

Kallia

Oh my Jacula...I remember those too!

6:48 am

Merk

Good grief, I am so blind sometimes. I've been starting with the wrong 'a'. "I saw the light."

6:50 am

mrpresident

I spoke to Lickety...

6:50 am

Jacula

Why isn't 'roly' a word? What about jam roly poly? Or those large ladies who dance?

6:50 am

amandacath

I still can't read much on the screen. The info just doesn't seem to soak in. I can't concentrate on the screen like I can on paper

6:50 am

Merk

I have not been here long. I noticed the tale end of the Lickety conversation. Is he quitting his page? And I don't know the other J link at all. where is that?

6:51 am

Kallia

good grief Jacula...are they still around?

6:51 am

Jacula

Amanda - I'm glad it's not just me. I always sayI think better with a pen in my hand.

6:51 am

Jacula

Kallia - not sure.

6:51 am

Jacula

MrP - What did he say?

6:52 am

KittyVane

I actually still use a proper paper dictionary when I babble, it's easier for me to look for words there than go through word lists on online

6:52 am

*kathy*

anyone mps?

6:53 am

Merk

What is mps?

6:53 am

KittyVane

although I have gotten quite addicted to the little dictionary widget OSX has

6:53 am

*kathy*

a school, merk. i'll say no more

6:54 am

mrpresident

his list gets hundreds of hits a day and he will continue to produce the list as long as people come to it...
and he will produce it at the flip cause that is the most convenient time.
Hope that helps.

6:54 am

amandacath

Same here Jac! I took a web-design class a couple of years ago and found myself feeling really old as I was actually taking notes with pen and paper instead of in a Word document! And truly, I'm not *that* old...

6:54 am

10:02 am

Jacula

Movieman - de6 - the police often do it to suspects.

10:03 am

hetty

Yup, movieman,then they retain them in custody

10:04 am

Jacula

Kallia - there's a smelly word from that 'o'. (Think American spelling.)

10:04 am

Vicuna

Jac, that counts as coming from the top o.

10:04 am

Kallia

ah thanks Jac...dratted Americnisms! :)

10:04 am

Kallia

10:04 am

Jacula

Kallia - also a church calendar from that 'o'.

10:05 am

Jacula

Vicuna - didn't notice which 'o' it came off when I got it. It works either way, anyway.

10:05 am

Jacula

Oops! Log's sticking.

10:06 am

Jacula

'Bye Movieman.

10:06 am

Vicuna

I know, but I can't figure out either word from the bottom o, so it matters to me!

10:06 am

Vicuna

Okay, I got the one I presume to have to do with the church...

10:07 am

Jacula

Vicuna - the church calendar works off the bottom 'o'. Or4/5.

10:07 am

Kallia

me too Vicuna

10:07 am

Jacula

The holy or6 works off either 'o'.

10:07 am

10:13 am

jrh402s

10:13 am

Cherrypop

good morning all

10:14 am

jrh402s

i may have to explore real life...

10:15 am

specificity

I'm trying to avoid real life today! I have 3 fighting munchkins and have already had to rescue the kitten twice!

10:15 am

stidmama

good morning good morning all! jrh, still from Bhutan I see.... LOL

10:16 am

stidmama

jrh -- the chatter last night was that though small this grid is mighty. Do not be deceived by appearances, young padawan! :-)

10:16 am

jrh402s

okay, that makes me feel better

10:16 am

jrh402s

bhutan is a lovely country in downtown kansas city

10:16 am

Vicuna

Wow, stidmama, you are so profound!

10:17 am

jrh402s

fighting munchkins would be great action figures

10:17 am

stidmama

*grin* I know -- have you tried just changing your location in your profile?

10:17 am

jrh402s

seems like a lot effort

10:18 am

jrh402s

of course, I'm not really sure how to pronounce the "h" in Bhutan.

10:18 am

Vicuna

same as the h in "bedroom"

10:19 am

stidmama

ROFLMAO Vicuna! that was very funny!

10:20 am

Jacula

LOL!

10:20 am

jrh402s

Vic, here's your merit badge for cleverness.

10:20 am

jrh402s

wear it with pride :)

10:20 am

stidmama

of course, jrh, you could always just learn about Bhutan and then let us know what's happening in "your" country...

10:21 am

Vicuna

I'd like to thank my director, and of course my wonderful family. And I could never have done it without the support of my great personal trainer, and...

10:22 am

jrh402s

great idea Stid, i've already learned they speak Dzongkha in Bhutan.

10:22 am

jrh402s

Dzongkha would be an excellent catch phrase.

10:23 am

Vicuna

Pre-kids I taught at a private all-girls' school, and three of the King of Bhutan's daughters attended there. (Although I never taught them myself.)

10:23 am

stidmama

If anyone is interested in the results of yesterday's MyersBriggs discussion I put a link up to the results in my profile...

10:23 am

stidmama

BUT -- how do I prounounce the D in Dzongkha? LOL

10:23 am

Vicuna

I have no answer for that one, stidmama! :)

10:24 am

jrh402s

I'm gonig for "da-zong-ka," cause that sounds cool.

10:24 am

jrh402s

cool story, vic.

10:25 am

stidmama

that's interesting Vi -- hope that was a good experience for you (teaching at an all-girls school) scads of children in droves always terrify me... (my MyersBriggs score is right on... )

10:25 am

Vicuna

A princess of Jordan went there, too, although that was before my time. She returned as a graduation speaker one year.

10:25 am

stidmama

and how shall we use our new word, jrh? like "huzzah" perhaps?

10:25 am

jrh402s

I was thinking in lieau of "yowser"

10:26 am

EasternBlue

stid - since I can't get into ezboard at work anymore...what is your M-B type??

10:26 am

stidmama

that sounds good to me! hmmm...

daZONGka!

10:26 am

Vicuna

And yes, I absolutely loved it. It was my dream job and I was really bummed to give it up for kids. (But I wouldn't have been able to leave the kids to continue working, either.)

10:26 am

jrh402s

as in.. ahem, "What do you think of that jrh?" "That? Well, Dzongkha!"

10:26 am

stidmama

I am INF and split 50/50 on P/J... hi EB!

10:27 am

Vicuna

As I recall, I score strongly introverted on Myers-Briggs, but kids don't scare me nearly as much as grown-ups.

10:27 am

stidmama

that is so cool Vicuna! except having to choose between your own kids and that teaching job... assume you have kept teaching in various forms?

10:29 am

stidmama

My mother is a teacher so I know about the parents and administration trials! I actually enjoy tutoring and have one literacy and other tutoring for 30 years... but the thought of extended contact with "groups" of any size whether child or adult does not energize me.

10:29 am

EasternBlue

I'm an ENFJ with strong I & P tendencies...(big surprise, huh??) ; D

10:29 am

Vicuna

No, stidmama, I haven't really kept up the teaching, except Sunday school, which isn't the same at all. But instead I have been able to concentrate much more on my art "career," so that's been something of a compensation.

10:29 am

Jacula

Finished!:)

10:29 am

stidmama

YAY Jacula!

10:29 am

EasternBlue

Cheers Jac!!

10:32 am

Wyrd

10:32 am

Haz1558

Jacula

Hetty - de6/30 - lethal!

10:33 am

hetty

Wyrd, so did I, great status builder

10:33 am

hetty

So it would, Haz, I see it straight away. Fly into my life any time

10:33 am

Vicuna

Yeah, I've never been in a grid. Stidma was once, though.

10:35 am

EasternBlue

10:35 am

10:41 am

Jacula

Kallia - the bogoff's. Exactly!

Jacula

Sorry, Stid! Not kissing it better though! I don't 'do' feet. LOL.

10:53 am

hurshy

hi stid

10:54 am

stidmama

Although I have to say I HATE grids without s so I'm not too sad to miss it.

Kallia

10:56 am

hurshy

yup hence the oh fish!

10:56 am

I know all these knots but haven't used them in years. I want to make sure I remember how to do it before I have 26 4th grade Brownies who can't:-)

10:56 am

Kallia

ah...thought that was for me typing a word in the chat lol

10:57 am

musicmom

I pretty much have to be able to tie them forwards and backwards to help them learn them.

10:57 am

hurshy

i don't know the knots... my husband gave me the knot tying kit when we got engaged... lol

10:57 am

musicmom

LOL that's a great marriage gift!

10:57 am

Kallia

hurshy

bhutan, wow

10:59 am

Kallia

isn't that a reef knot Eastern?

11:00 am

hurshy

i once wrote a poem called "the woe of the unknot"

11:00 am

stidmama

that's a sorta joke hurshy... daZongka is being used now as a "yowser" type word, but it's the language spoken in Bhutan...

11:00 am

EasternBlue

Kallia - maybe we call it different things on various sides of the pond??

11:00 am

musicmom

Kallia - we have found through the years that knots are called by different names in different regions. Can be very confusing when working with large groups.

11:00 am

hurshy

it was on the back of my multivariable calculus final, because my professor's specialty was knot theory

11:00 am

hetty

Has anyone out there found the dr6/27?

11:00 am

Kallia

Okay I need to go get to work. I'll probably be here tomorrow.

11:02 am

hetty

What can I do to make you offer a clue? (Note Hursh, I write poems too!)

Bryan - who said money can't buy happiness (or a few championships...)...it's really more for my hubby than me - he's the big Yankee fan...

12:11 pm

hurshy

12:11 pm

EasternBlue

plus - you spell your name the 'right' way (my grandfather spelled his name that way too)...

12:20 pm

12:21 pm

hurshy

when the new puzzle comes out

12:21 pm

specificity

after the new puzzle

12:22 pm

LeslieAnn

i think it's about 10 minutes after the new puzzle

12:22 pm

BGL

wasn't olde in a puzzle a couple of days ago? Why sin't it now?

12:22 pm

hurshy

no BGL, it's never taken though we always wish it were

12:22 pm

Merk

Because you can get more points if you change the last letter.

12:23 pm

BGL

It must have been in a recent crossword, then. I know I've used it recently

12:23 pm

Merk

Think of records when you listen to a golden ol**

12:23 pm

hurshy

i have ta5/10, te 5/12, to5/10 x 2, to 5/12, 4 tr5 and tw5, which T5 might i be missing?

12:25 pm

specificity

do you have the one with double vowles?

12:25 pm

Merk

Well, I'm leaving for another day. This puzzle wasn't bad, but I should learn never to start with the 'a's. I find them too discouraging when I'm not familiar with the puzzle.

12:25 pm

AngeC

ryot

AngeC

12:25 pm

Don't feel bad. That is so easy to do.

12:35 pm

EasternBlue

evanadine - I haven't been playing much lately...this is my first grid in awhile...so I'm not sure...

12:35 pm

LeslieAnn

i haven't, eva

12:36 pm

hurshy

i talked to lola a couple of days ago and she is busy with a new job and applying for british citizenship, said she'd come back when things settle into more of a routine again

12:38 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, good to hear...
im not on as much these days myself, just wondering how they were...
guess i could drop anj an email.
:)

12:38 pm

hurshy

she has NOT eloped with anj, contrary to some of our fanciful speculations, promised she'd tell us if that happened... :)

12:39 pm

EasternBlue

if you see them (or send a note), please send my regards & hello's...

12:39 pm

hurshy

ok

12:39 pm

EasternBlue

wouldn't that help with her British citizenship?? tee hee hee!!

12:40 pm

hurshy

i suppose it would :)

12:40 pm

EasternBlue

I'm down to 31 to go...still listless but definitely out of the groove of babble...

12:40 pm

jrh402s

have any babblers really eloped? that'd be fun

12:41 pm

EasternBlue

jrh - not that I know about...but wouldn't it???

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

65 to go here

12:41 pm

hurshy

as far as i know, if lola and anj got married they would be the first marriage resulting from babble

12:41 pm

jrh402s

wow, interesting stuff

12:41 pm

EasternBlue

it's hard jumping back& forth between this & work...

12:41 pm

Glenndrums

quit work......it won't be so hard

12:41 pm

jrh402s

eastern: you're obviously paying too much attention to work.

12:42 pm

harpjane

have there been any divorces resulting from babble?

12:42 pm

LeslieAnn

oh really, they met online? i thought they were an item before they started babbling

12:42 pm

jrh402s

I'm at work... of course I've been logged on all morning, but have only played about thirty minutes

12:42 pm

EasternBlue

ah, if only I could...

12:42 pm

LeslieAnn

lol jane, that's probably a better question :)

12:42 pm

EasternBlue

harp - ROFL!!!

12:43 pm

jrh402s

harp: too cute

12:44 pm

jrh402s

:)

12:44 pm

hurshy

it is my understanding that they met through babble but i could be mistaken

12:44 pm

jrh402s

that's something to tell the grandkids

12:44 pm

EasternBlue

hursh - I think you're correct...

12:44 pm

LeslieAnn

well that is really cute. now i do want them to elope :)

12:45 pm

phandmd

hi guys, can I pls have a clue for both the z words, using the points, and monkey typing but it is not happening

12:46 pm

jrh402s

phand: replace the b in beta and the l in lori.

12:46 pm

hurshy

12:46 pm

misshoax

12:47 pm

phandmd

I swear I typed both of those and it didn't take it before (muerous of times)

12:49 pm

harpjane

te5? I have all the other te's but can't get the 5.

12:50 pm

harpjane

jrh-I've always wanted to visit Bhutan. Are you a citizen?

12:50 pm

LeslieAnn

te + the state between IL and OH abbr.

12:50 pm

jrh402s

Dzongkha!

12:50 pm

jrh402s

harp: no, not really. it's a bit of a profile mix-up

12:50 pm

LeslieAnn

what in the world does that mean?

12:51 pm

spark

Good morning, everyone. This looks hard today -- I'm already tearing my hair out and I've only been here for 5 minutes. lol.

12:51 pm

harpjane

thanks! (wrong t!)

12:51 pm

LeslieAnn

hey spark

12:51 pm

jrh402s

Dzongkha is the primary language in Bhutan

12:51 pm

harpjane

jrh, so are you speaking dzeutch?

12:51 pm

LeslieAnn

all right then

12:52 pm

LeslieAnn

i thought it would be weird that there was a "missouri" in bhutan

12:52 pm

jakes-mum

any clues for the LO5/12 plz?

12:52 pm

jrh402s

it would be odd

12:52 pm

jrh402s

I think "Dzongkha" would be a great exclamation... in lieau of yowser :)

12:53 pm

LeslieAnn

that's what i was thinking, like you found the 8 or something :)

12:53 pm

hurshy

jakes-mum - went to the bathroom in britain?

12:53 pm

jrh402s

hurshy: that's all I could think of too!

12:53 pm

jakes-mum

{Blush} ty hurshy

12:53 pm

Vicuna

Jrh, you were promoting Dzongkha when I left, and you're still at it now?

12:54 pm

jrh402s

someone else asked about Bhutan

12:54 pm

spark

just curious: do you all have a system that you use when doing this puzzle, or do you just go willy nilly in a random fashion?

12:54 pm

jrh402s

nomatter what the chatlog reads, I have not been promoting Dzongkha for four or five hours

12:54 pm

hurshy

oh i didn't have to say in britain cause you're there :)

12:54 pm

hurshy

willy nilly!!!

12:54 pm

LeslieAnn

lol jrh

12:55 pm

jrh402s

spark: I do the letters one at a time. I'm retentive.

12:55 pm

LeslieAnn

dzongkha would get you lots of babble points

12:55 pm

hurshy

i have a system of willy-nilliness though

12:55 pm

LeslieAnn

spark, i go letter by letter to get all i can at first, then go sort of willy-nilly with the list

12:55 pm

Vicuna

Well, it would have been very persistent of you if you had!

12:56 pm

spark

jrh402s -- do you stick with that letter until you get all the words or do you give up at some point and tear some hair out and move on?

12:56 pm

hurshy

i find words completely on my own until have at least half of them, then i allow myself to look at the tile stats. after i have 80-95% of them i open up chat and look for clues that fall, or start bothering people with pesky questions.

12:58 pm

jrh402s

spark: I stick to the letter, but I pick the letters I want to do. I usually stick with the hards ones first... like z in this puzzle. At the end, I rarely feel the need to work through all 28 t's, etc

12:58 pm

EasternBlue

spark - I'm pretty willy nilly - I try to close out a letter, but then I start to see other words...and then I wander around the grid...

12:59 pm

EasternBlue

...and then all h#%& breaks loose...

12:59 pm

jrh402s

spark: however, I do enter words if I spy them outside the letter I'm working on.

12:59 pm

EasternBlue

...and then I beg for clues & use the lists... 8 )

1:00 pm

spark

lol. I guess there is no RIGHT way to do this, then. Everyday I try a new approach and I always wind up missing most of my hair -- and then I troll the chatlog for clues... how often do you all actually complete the entire grid?

1:00 pm

hurshy

it shouldn't trouble you if it's a W and it goes w-w-w-w!

1:00 pm

jrh402s

and I find the clues given here to be pretty interesting. I usually enter them in too.

1:00 pm

Vicuna

I search willy-nilly until I have about 1/2 to 3/4, then concentrate on the tile stats for a while, and then go to the two-letter lists. I try never to ask for any clues, although I happily eavesdrop on the clues other people request.

1:01 pm

faeriekae

And I'm finished at last.

1:01 pm

hurshy

every day spark barring nasty travel or some such problem

1:01 pm

1:03 pm

hurshy

1:03 pm

Vicuna

Now that I was gone for an entire week last month, my stats have plummetted so low that I'm not paying attention to them anymore.

1:03 pm

faeriekae

I always finish my desserts

1:04 pm

Vicuna

Yay for dessert!

1:04 pm

hurshy

EasternBlue

Vicuna

"Hmmm hmmm hmmmmm hmmm" seems to work fine for lyrics.

1:15 pm

LeslieAnn

at least for the crash test dummies

1:16 pm

hurshy

it's a world of babble, a world of grids
it's a world with chatlogs so full of stids
there's so many to find
so get back to the grind
it's a grid world after all

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Is the chatlog full of any stids at the moment?

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Sometimes it's a chatlog with trollish kids...

1:17 pm

hurshy

don't think so but you know it does tend to be :)

1:17 pm

hurshy

well yes but i didn't wish to dwell on unpleasant topics

LeslieAnn

1:33 pm

mab

1:33 pm

LeslieAnn

1:33 pm

hurshy

have you been lifting heavy things cingy?

1:33 pm

Vicuna

Hello, bex.

1:33 pm

emusing

Hi! any clues for at5/10, please?

1:34 pm

Dachef

we are not addicted ourselves do we kid, for every day we're back at the grid, though our lives may be fictionary, we all still slaves to the enable dictionary.

1:34 pm

Anniebrook

hi bex

1:34 pm

Cingy

not at all--i cant think of anything that might have triggered it

1:34 pm

hurshy

fictionary, lol

1:34 pm

hurshy

well be careful cingy - don't make quick movements and see a doctor if it doesn't get better in a day or two

1:34 pm

Vicuna

Dachef is on a roll.

1:35 pm

Cingy

thanks for the advice hursh

1:36 pm

stidmama

LOL Dachef! just what I needed to see as I walk in the door and boot up...

1:36 pm

LeslieAnn

hey stid! you are still androgynous

1:36 pm

stidmama

Hello angela, welcome back! how are you doing on the grid today?

1:37 pm

jeffer

the first to 5/10 please?
i have the cake one

1:37 pm

gramma

Hello every1!

1:37 pm

Vicuna

Stid, hurshy immortolized you and your family in a poem a while back.

1:37 pm

stidmama

yes LeslieAnn, I think androgyny suits me... at least until Dr.God lets me have a green purse...

1:37 pm

Anniebrook

hi Stid and gramma

1:37 pm

stidmama

oh! today? I will go look for it. :-)

1:37 pm

Vicuna

I think the androgynous color is nicer than pink, which is my least favorite color.

1:38 pm

gramma

stid, your purse is green

1:38 pm

stidmama

she's probably getting me back for the little ditty I wrote about her and hetty this mornign...

1:38 pm

Dachef

twenty-five letters, all in a row, just what we need when feeling so low, we play for fun, not to be the best, but at the end of the day, we should still be allowed "fest".

1:38 pm

stidmama

Dachef, you're the best! *big grin*

1:39 pm

Anniebrook

stid and dachef are our poet laureates!`

1:39 pm

stidmama

gramma it looks green on your screen, but it's purple on mine, and I am told it's gray on most!

1:39 pm

jakes-mum

could I purlease have a hint for the DR6/27 fellow babblers? ;-)

1:40 pm

Vicuna

dr6/27 is a compound word, an arid place to park your car, perhaps

1:40 pm

EasternBlue

hi gramma, mab, stid, Dachef...(much too clever for a Friday afternoon by the way!!)...

1:40 pm

gramma

oh dear, stidmama

1:40 pm

LeslieAnn

oh thank you vicuna

1:40 pm

stidmama

the dr 6/27 is a compound word. starts in the right corner, uses a three point tile and ends like the man in the biblical "pillar of salt" story

1:41 pm

jakes-mum

Ahh vicuna could never have found that without your stunning clue ty!

1:41 pm

pabtrek

does any have the at 7 and 8

1:41 pm

stidmama

don't have any A words yet pabtrek!

1:41 pm

Vicuna

You're welcome!

1:42 pm

Anniebrook

stid, that clue was awesome, have been working on that for the past 10 minutes

1:42 pm

jeffer

the first to 5/10, please?
i have the cake one

1:42 pm

Beckzilla

I'm looking for TE 5/12 and 6/18

1:42 pm

stidmama

I was thinking about it while I was gone because poor hetty had such trouble with the word earlier...

1:42 pm

LeslieAnn

te 5 ends in the abbr. for the state in between Illinois and Ohio

1:42 pm

Beckzilla

at7 is at+tr5/10

1:42 pm

Vicuna

at7 and 8 are the front part of a word that usually ends -ion, as in a war of at-----ion. Includes a word for banal.

1:42 pm

Beckzilla

the 8 is the past tense of that

1:43 pm

Cingy

im back

1:43 pm

gramma

I'm not ignoring pleas for help ( well, actually, I am. ) I'm just starting and I'm of no help...not even to myself.

1:43 pm

Dachef

on the chat log the people just want to be heard, as they scream "just where is that last bloody word?", but they always feel daft and no better, when that word turns out to be feta or etna.

1:43 pm

Vicuna

Is your back back, too, cingy?

1:43 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks beck, vi

1:43 pm

pabtrek

thanks beck, vic

1:44 pm

Beckzilla

thanks, LeslieAnn

1:44 pm

Vicuna

I wonder whatever's become of my brain-o
When I've missed -- once again -- that blsted volcano.

1:44 pm

Cingy

no its still being evil!
dual personality

1:45 pm

jeffer

lol Vicuna - me too

1:45 pm

Vicuna

(It's in here again today, by the way, for anyone who hasn't already typed it first thing just in case.)

1:46 pm

Cingy

what is?

1:46 pm

stidmama

that blasted volcano... cingy

1:46 pm

Cingy

oh...ok...confused

1:46 pm

Vicuna

Another example: how enable's so rude-a.
It always takes feta but doesn't take gouda.

4:14 pm

moonriver919

another en 5/10

4:14 pm

mymuseisme

ty

4:14 pm

jrh402s

I think "Dzongkha!" could be the new exclamation (that's sweeping the nation). You should use it in place of "yowsers"

4:15 pm

moonriver919

lol

4:15 pm

jrh402s

as in, "You finished already? Dzongkha!"

4:15 pm

mich_pdx

okay, i'll try it out -- do you have a particular pronounciation in mind? (it's the kh I wonder about)

4:16 pm

jrh402s

Everyone together, ahemm.."Da-zong-kuh!"

4:16 pm

mich_pdx

also, perhaps older people will think I'm taking the name of Larry Czonka in vain (LOL)

4:16 pm

jrh402s

um.. who's larry czonka? :)

4:16 pm

jrh402s

n/m checked wikipedia

4:17 pm

jrh402s

he was a "punishing running backin American football."

4:17 pm

mich_pdx

he was a football guy, the bears I think, who was EVERYWHERE in the 70's -- the "da" at the beginning makes that not a problem

4:18 pm

mich_pdx

"punishing runningback"? that's awesome, someone should use that as their user id!!

4:18 pm

debbinla

lol

4:18 pm

jrh402s

he looks a little questionable in his wikipedia profile... plus he's got the brow line of of six people.

4:19 pm

mich_pdx

can I use that one, too, like "suffering succotash"? Punishing runningback! I thought I monkeytyped that one already!!!! But wait -- daZONGka -- finished with the t's!! Yippee

4:20 pm

LeslieAnn

jrh, i used "dzongka" when you were gone

4:20 pm

jrh402s

hm, this is the kind of information I need to hang onto so that my will stop thinking I'm a sissy. "What about Larry Csonka? Son! Come watch the game."

4:20 pm

jrh402s

Leslie: Good Work! Together we will overcome.

4:21 pm

jrh402s

Mich: I'm a fan of using "Punishing Runningback" -course it doesn't really roll off the tongue like Dzongkha! so it might not catch on.

4:21 pm

periwinkle

someone mentioned inklink earlier, it is another game, if so does anyone know the website?

4:21 pm

mich_pdx

maybe Douglas or someone can write me a poem featuring the phrase "punishing runningback" -- see I spelled it wrong, thought so. I was a little kidlette at the time of his infamy

4:22 pm

jrh402s

Peri: I've never played, but it's at shockwave.com

4:22 pm

jrh402s

Peri: I feel responsible for breaking it to you that it seems to involve charades....

4:22 pm

LeslieAnn

someone was rolling out tons of poems this morning, dachef i think

4:22 pm

mich_pdx

jrh, it's SO batman, though. let's each try the other's out & see if they catch on. I'm on the west coast, you're in the midwest, I'll use them when I'm on the east coast soon -- coast to coast!

4:23 pm

mich_pdx

larry csonka, that is

4:23 pm

mich_pdx

the SO batman phrase is punishing runningback!

4:24 pm

jrh402s

I think if I used "Dzongkha" in downtown KC that everyone would think I was complimenting a black girl's backside.

4:25 pm

jrh402s

*Sly nod her direction* "Dzongkha." *knuck tap* "Fo' sho' brutha."

4:26 pm

mich_pdx

well, I'm in a black neighborhood myself, wouldn't want to offend the homeys -- I totally see it. HEY!! you should enter it at urbandictionary.com, with multiple meanings. You should see some of the slang in there! like "michelise" was weird!!

4:26 pm

jrh402s

cool.

4:27 pm

jrh402s

so... peri? You really go an play charades?

4:28 pm

jrh402s

actually, I probably shouldn't visit the urbandictionary at work :)

dzongkha, that sounds tough

4:38 pm

by the mustache of Larry Csonka, i'm looking forward to billable hours.

4:38 pm

mich_pdx

I thought about lawschool (see my profile) where are you going?

4:38 pm

jrh402s

University of Missouri-Kansas City

4:39 pm

mich_pdx

so no relocation I'm guessing? makes it much easier :)

4:39 pm

jrh402s

actually, I'm moving closer to campus - but generally yes

4:39 pm

jrh402s

UMKC is where President Truman went

4:40 pm

jrh402s

okay, I chat too much

4:40 pm

jrh402s

I should get some words...

4:41 pm

mich_pdx

billable hours aren't always what they're cracked up to be..... I used to get scheduled for 45 billable/week which meant 50 hours for all the meetings and paperwork, etc. and only got equiv. of 419/hr salaried. Lawyers make much much more money than architects!!! Later jrh

4:41 pm

mich_pdx

$19/hr I meant

5:27 pm

FranMag

libarebel, it's a japanese sandal

5:27 pm

Libarebel, the other z is 4/9 sounds like an apology

5:27 pm

can I get some help with the two da 6's?

5:35 pm

FranMag

cadfan, first one is past tense of the da4/9

5:36 pm

CadFan

well, thanks Fran, that was easy!

5:36 pm

FranMag

second one is the da4/9 + what an ascot is, man's business attire

5:36 pm

Haz1558

cadfan - first find the da4/9. Then past tense it for one of the 6 letter words. The other one has the ending of a man's neckwear

5:36 pm

bostonmermaid

need help with my missing O words... I have od4/5, ol4/7, oo4/9, oo5/22, and or6/21... what am I missing?

5:37 pm

Haz1558

od4/7

5:37 pm

FranMag

boston, you need the oo5/10, spelled like the ee scary word, but with oo

5:37 pm

EvaNadine

oo5/12

5:37 pm

CadFan

THanks Haz.. I swear, some of these words would not even fit in the "Dictionary of Difficult Words" I had some years ago!!

5:37 pm

Haz1558

Also oo5/12

5:38 pm

Haz1558

And an or4/5 following the or6/21

5:38 pm

Anniebrook

oo 5/12 to seep slowly

5:38 pm

Haz1558

I know the feeling - you imagine you would have seen most words by now, but no.

5:39 pm

CadFan

ask my sister.. I've seen LOTS of words.....

5:39 pm

CadFan

LOL

5:40 pm

EvaNadine

haz -- hint on the or 4/5 ?

5:40 pm

FranMag

haz, i don't know if you were still here last night, amandacath found the def for the tr5/20 word, i guess it's an archaic alternate spelling for loose trousers

5:40 pm

debbinla

annie - isn[t that the oo 5/22?

5:40 pm

Haz1558

or4/5 - follow the or with an action word. It ends up as an anagram for do4/5

5:41 pm

Haz1558

That's interesting FranMag as people here would use the term 'trews' for trousers. Maybe that's the derivation.

5:41 pm

Anniebrook

sorry, have my list all messed up, no wonder no one was taking my clue lol

5:41 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, thanks!

5:42 pm

CadFan

I was trying to think of a good clue from orzo to the or 4/5 - but the martini I'm having seems to be affecting my thinking

5:42 pm

CadFan

can't imagine why

5:42 pm

FranMag

i guess that is the alt spelling it's from haz, we don't use that term in america!

5:43 pm

FranMag

lol cadfan!!

5:43 pm

CadFan

HA, you think, I'm kidding....it's been that kind of day........

5:43 pm

Anniebrook

Cadfan, that sounds good to me

5:43 pm

5:53 pm

Anniebrook

tod

5:53 pm

harpjane

do5/16?

5:53 pm

FranMag

i have to say my favorite today is the tr5/20

5:54 pm

Haz1558

ro5/10 - takes one letter away from the corrupt or decaying ro6/18

5:54 pm

LeslieAnn

ro 5/10 - if the food in your fridge smells bad, it's probably ro 6/18. take off the last letter for the 5

5:55 pm

stidmama

later boston!

5:55 pm

FranMag

do5/16, rhymes with a procedural word, du** appointed, but use double vowels

5:55 pm

Anniebrook

aint that the tr***, fran, my favorite too

5:55 pm

FranMag

harp, also sounds like trucks with double back tires

5:56 pm

debbinla

great clue franmag

5:56 pm

magzel

thnaks all

5:56 pm

FranMag

5:58 pm

Uncagain

5:58 pm

stidmama

*majestic but energetic music for victory dance*

5:58 pm

tommynp

brrr

5:58 pm

CadFan

Myers Brigss.. ugh.. I htink if I recall coreclty - Im an ENFP

5:58 pm

stidmama

hi Unc. I don't, but that doesn't mean much!

5:59 pm

stidmama

why ugh CadFan?

5:59 pm

KatieMcG

I'm a ESTJ

5:59 pm

Yvo

can i have a clue on at 6/18 please it just eludes me,thanks

5:59 pm

stidmama

and would you like to be included in our unofficial poll?

5:59 pm

LeslieAnn

i tried it but i was distracted and i don't think it was right, stid. i'll go do it again

5:59 pm

stidmama

yes katie, thanks! I just saw your post on BA which is what reminded me to ask...

5:59 pm

FranMag

yvo, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling

6:00 pm

Ping

hi y'all

6:00 pm

stidmama

only if you really want to, LA! this is just a "for fun" and no pressure is intended.

6:00 pm

KatieMcG

I've posted a message on the board to say what it is, I hope :)

6:00 pm

CadFan

because I think those things are terrible contrived. They box people in...

6:00 pm

stidmama

Yvo, I am so glad you asked about that AT... I had never thought of it before!

6:00 pm

EvaNadine

any hints on the 8?
or the 7 im missing? (i have di7 and te7)

6:01 pm

LeslieAnn

at 7/8 combo, eva

6:01 pm

FranMag

8 is past tense of the at7/28, at + overused

6:01 pm

KatieMcG

I did it for work and it was frightening accurate, it has also helped me to work with people who are not as extrovert as me much better, but I know what you mean about boxing people

6:01 pm

Yvo

thank you Fran Mag got it

6:01 pm

tndaisy1960

Stid! didn't see you...

6:02 pm

FranMag

yw yvo

6:02 pm

stidmama

I found taking the m-b tool very liberating actually -- it allowed me to take an assessment of my real strengths and gave me some better understanding of what I would be less successful at -- or need to be aware of. Rather than box me in, the comparisons have let me see why some relationships just seem to "click" for me.

6:02 pm

EvaNadine

hrmmm....not sure i have the "overused" word

6:03 pm

LeslieAnn

tr 5 - not important, eva

6:03 pm

FranMag

katie, i think those assessments just help one realize what things make people different

6:03 pm

stidmama

hi Daisy! well, I was actually just about to get up. but don't mind seting for just a moment.

6:03 pm

parsec

hi eva =)

6:03 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, thanks!

6:03 pm

EvaNadine

hola parsec!

6:04 pm

parsec

howya doin?

6:04 pm

EvaNadine

wow, how slow am i...
i only *just* noticed that leslieann and franmag have the same icon...hehe

6:04 pm

EvaNadine

eh, stressed, unfortunately, but otherwise good

6:04 pm

KatieMcG

I know what you mean stidmama. On the course there were 12 women and the ones I really clicked with had the same profile as me. It also made me appreciate that different people do the same job in a different way but equally as well (maybe I did become a better woman after all !!)

6:04 pm

Ping

i feel the same as stid about m-b. it's helps me understand the ways in which my friends/colleagues operate on dif. assumptions and hopes and fears

6:04 pm

LeslieAnn

i kept thinking earlier, am i talking too much? when fran and i were having a convo

6:05 pm

EvaNadine

how are you parsec?

6:05 pm

FranMag

that's what it looks like to everyone leslie!

6:05 pm

CadFan

My opinion only - it is affected too much by what is going on in ones life at any given time. I've taken it a vriety of time in different situations over the past 20+ years.. it has resulted in different profiles each time. Seems a bit too much like a horoscope to me.

6:05 pm

KatieMcG

LOL Leslie, I thought you were having a convesation with yourself :)

6:06 pm

CadFan

Not that I don't think it has value.. just that I think, sometimes, people give it TOO much value.

6:06 pm

parsec

stressed too, but all right. This is the first weekend I get to stay mostly home in a while. =)

6:06 pm

KatieMcG

CadFan - I am a Gemini and really really fit the profile for them. don't believe in horoscopes but the profile was unnearving.

6:06 pm

hetty

If you're teer haz, I've just seen a puzzling clue about plurals of names vis-a-vis a word I'm seeking--can you elucidate please?

6:06 pm

stidmama

And any good tester will let people know that such tools are merely indicators of _preferences_ rather than hard and fast definitions... but that doesn't always get conveyed. For me, CadFan, over the 20+ years I have been retested, the myers-briggs has been very consistent. But then, I always take it with an eye toward what I actually would "like" to do if allowed, rather than what I "must" do in my life at the moment...

6:07 pm

FranMag

katie, did you just have or are going to have a birthday katie?

6:07 pm

KatieMcG

Hetty - I haven't seen you for ages, how are you :)

6:07 pm

EvaNadine

nice!
not so lucky here -- going to a housewarming party, where i have a feeling someone is trying to set me up...heh...

and my floors are being redone right now, so my house is a mess.
and my AC just died this week.
*UGH*

6:07 pm

stidmama

katie -- I am gemini also, but what fits me is the FireHorse of the Chinese astrological system... spooky.

6:07 pm

KatieMcG

it was last Saturday FranMag, really nice day.

6:07 pm

Atalante

*bounces in quickly* please please could I have a clue for the de5 and 6 after the fatal ones?

6:08 pm

hetty

I'm well, thanks katie, but very busy just now so I'm bouncing in and out a lot

6:08 pm

FranMag

hey stid, i'm a fire horse too! that's right we're the same age

6:08 pm

evanonut

oh no evan, a set up!

6:08 pm

LeslieAnn

de 5 - to deflate

6:08 pm

evanonut

what if he's a hottie?

6:08 pm

stidmama

hi evanadine, sorry I get involved in discussions like this so easily.... my parents just had their floors redone in the final steps of the remodel the tree forced on them... it made so much dust! you have my sympathy!

6:08 pm

FranMag

atalante, wierd ones, de5/12 is deflate

6:08 pm

KatieMcG

ata - I haven't got them yet, sorry

6:09 pm

EvaNadine

its possible he could be, but i live in MD and the party is in N Va, so he would be what my friends and i call "geographically undesireable"

6:09 pm

FranMag

de6/21 is not wierd, what the police do when they need to question you

6:09 pm

Haz1558

Sorry hetty - I was away for a while there - you were looking for a word?

6:09 pm

stidmama

yes Fran, but the really funny thing is I was also born in the month of the horse on the day of the horse at the hour of the horse... LOL

6:09 pm

Atalante

at least they are weird ones - I always feel so dumb when my last words are really obvious!

6:09 pm

KatieMcG

FranMag/Leslie - good clue but that is never a word.

6:10 pm

LeslieAnn

someone clued earlier that de 6 are like the people at guantanamo bay - de****ees

6:10 pm

evanonut

too bad evan, as you probably are desireabe, seeing how it's unlikely you're a cousin of his!

6:10 pm

stidmama

Atalante, I don't have them either... (hi)

6:10 pm

FranMag

katie, true, but enable thinks it is so we have to use it!!

6:10 pm

Atalante

TY Fran and Leslie! Finished! Phew! now I can go to bed ... *bounces off again hugging all*

6:10 pm

EvaNadine

stidmama -- the dust hasnt been TOO bad yet, and thankfully the weather isnt so hot the turning on the fans + cracking the windows hasnt been good enough...
but its gonna take a bit of money to repair/replace the system, and i just dont have it!

6:10 pm

KatieMcG

Lol evanonut

6:10 pm

FranMag

night atalante!!

6:10 pm

KatieMcG

Congrats Atalante, night

6:11 pm

EvaNadine

lol...is that all it takes to be desireable?
not being related??
hehe

6:11 pm

hetty

Yes please, Haz--te5/12. I think your clue had to do with plurals of Rachel etc., but without an 's' in the grid I'm mystified

6:11 pm

LeslieAnn

yay atalante!!

6:11 pm

evanonut

in that part of the country i understand! ;-)

6:11 pm

debbinla

oo 5/12 anyone??

6:11 pm

stidmama

I hear you -- we don't have air conditioning. I spend my summers opening windows in the evening, closing them when it starts to warm up, and adjusting shades inside and out...

6:11 pm

stidmama

YAY Atalante!

6:11 pm

stidmama

Daisy -- I assume you are "back"?

6:11 pm

EvaNadine

lol...sure youre not thinking of West VA?

6:12 pm

tndaisy1960

yes:)

6:12 pm

FranMag

evanadine, funny you should bring that up, a guy i dated a while back just married his first cousin!!

6:12 pm

KatieMcG

I looked at joining a dating agency over here and they wanted Â£800 up front fee. We now discuss whether someone is Â£800 good or if I am Â£800 deperate - I'm not (yet!)

6:12 pm

Haz1558

Ross and Rachel are members of the cast of Fr****s - I was pointing out that the te5/12 had the same ending as ONE of them - so no s needed.

6:12 pm

evanonut

then there's me - i'm off for a date with my lil bro - good luck even, hope he surprises you (oh no, i'm certain it's anything virginia!)

6:12 pm

FranMag

debb, it's like an ee scary word, but use the oo

6:12 pm

stidmama

I need to split for a while since Matthew and his friend are just getting home. I'll let you know when I am sitting down again...

6:12 pm

FranMag

later evanonut!

6:13 pm

FranMag

later stid!

6:13 pm

tndaisy1960

ok:)

6:13 pm

stidmama

katie -- you aren't that desperate, I hope!

6:13 pm

stidmama

later all!

6:13 pm

hetty

oo5/12 is a strange word--you add the ending of cross letter, third vowel and fourth letter to your ooooo

6:13 pm

Haz1558

Bye stidmama.

6:13 pm

EvaNadine

not even really looking mch to date right now anywho, so im not too worried about it

6:14 pm

FranMag

sorry debb, i gave you the wrong clue!!

6:14 pm

debbinla

no worries - thank you franmag and thanks hetty! i only have 2 more - yipee

6:15 pm

FranMag

that's the attitude evanadine! you're still young anyway, i didn't meet my husband until i was 35.

6:15 pm

KatieMcG

evan - me neither, that was why I was so shocked at the money. I'm going to go to the pub to watch the football on my own and see if I can make some friends. I really just need company (as in female friends) rather than a date :)

6:16 pm

LeslieAnn

how much is 800 pounds in dollars?

6:16 pm

LeslieAnn

i hope that's not a stupid question

6:16 pm

hetty

Haz , I'm tV illiterate, so though I know the title "Fr***ds I know nothing else. Is the anoher route to take? I'm also stymied by the te6 thomI hav e the te7

6:17 pm

debbinla

it's like 1600 bucks

6:17 pm

KatieMcG

It's not a stupid question I think it is about $1500 and then you had to pay $60 per month as well!!

6:17 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't think the tv clue is right. it ends like the beginning of the state in between illinois and ohio

6:17 pm

Haz1558

Okay - let's try another route for the te5/12 - add the first three letters of the country where the Taj Mahal is built.

6:17 pm

LeslieAnn

holy crud, that is a lot of pounds or dollars or whatever

6:17 pm

FranMag

whoa! that is a lot to pay for a date! unless the guy is professional (if you know what i mean, wink, wink)

6:18 pm

debbinla

lol

6:18 pm

KatieMcG

For that amount of money he would need to be very very professional :)

6:18 pm

Haz1558

te6/18 - to the number after nine, add a man's item of neckwear

6:18 pm

LeslieAnn

and come with a money-back guarantee

6:19 pm

KatieMcG

Lol LeslieAnn

6:20 pm

FranMag

lol, my husband is still looking through the paperwork for the part that says he can return me! it's our little inside joke because i moved from out of state to be with him!

6:21 pm

snowyowl

Another unfinished grid! I'm just too tired to continue, so I'll wish you all agood night & sweet dreams when you sleep

6:21 pm

debbinla

seems like a nice place to move to!

6:21 pm

FranMag

night snowyowl!!

6:21 pm

Night snowyowl

6:21 pm

Haz1558

Never mind snowyowl! Sleep well.

6:22 pm

debbinla

good night

6:22 pm

FranMag

yes debb, i'd always wanted to live here anyway, it was an easy choice to make, because of my husband also of course. ;-)

6:23 pm

FranMag

that was really bad sentence structure. apologies to all the editors and writers out there!

6:23 pm

debbinla

it read perfectly to me

6:23 pm

calmunid

6:23 pm

You're welcome, calmunid.

6:24 pm

6:24 pm

I am missing the lo 5/12 and the 5/10 and I'm sick of trying to monkey type them. I know as soon as they are clued I'll feel like a dummy, but I need help.

6:25 pm

FranMag

brb, need to do another load of laundry before baby wakes up

6:25 pm

6:25 pm

Wow, helen, that's a unique plate! :D

6:26 pm

Haz1558

Oh, that's good to hear, hetty. I'll have to say goodnight, however and wish you all happy babbling. lo5/12 - provided with British toilets, lo5/10 add two beverage sounding letters and the second vowel. And now I'm gone!

6:26 pm

Nef

Lo5/10 is a misspelling of the biblical guy who's wife turned into salt, but I don't know the lo5/12 yet

6:26 pm

debbinla

shannon - the lo 5/10 is what i'd like to win -- the lo*** (minus the alst two letters

6:26 pm

KatieMcG

I'm giving up for the night. Might see you tomorrow if not bb on sunday :)

6:26 pm

6:27 pm

Can somebody please clue the at7/28 and ai6/21?

6:28 pm

I've got an ai 6/21 that is the past tense of a 4/4

6:28 pm

Shannon1

I've got 12 more words. The AT 5/10 and the AI 6/28 are a mystery.

6:29 pm

KatieMcG

the at 5 is a heart chamber - I had to google it :)

6:29 pm

KatieMcG

haven't got the ai6/28 yet

6:30 pm

KatieMcG

really am going now.

6:31 pm

seejay

I don't see a 6/28. Don't you mean ai6/21, which was clued courtesy of Elalyr the past tense of ai4/4 (thanks Elalyr.

6:33 pm

tndaisy1960

that lo 5/12 is PAST TENSE of a British toilet:)

6:33 pm

maribelshop, you have to upgrade to pro first and then you add icons in your profile. link to themes is on angelsong's babble page in links below

6:49 pm

FranMag

you don't have to follow themes though, it's just fun for a lot of us to do.

6:49 pm

FranMag

yw peri

6:50 pm

hetty

maribel, if you edit your profile (go to account) you will find it's easy to get asn icon. Most people change all the time-I'm too lazy. But the themes are to be found in the babbler icon page on Lickety's list page.

11:37 pm

hetty

kristinc,I want you to know I've just read your bio with great empathy and appreciation. Maybe you too will come up to Canada--with the baby--and see us sometime. (Don't mean to sound like Mae West)

11:37 pm

kristinc

since bartending is not me first calling, I'll serve the margarita (cuz I can make those)
*sending you one with a nice little umbrella :)

11:45 pm

stidmama

I think you are nrkii, but let me check -- you know, someone told me earlier what they were, and I put it in my spreadsheet before I crashed the computer.... but obviously didn't save it right away. I'll have to look back int he log. I can't remember who said she was what! LOL

11:45 pm

Minveryork

Good Evening everybody! Just signed on. Don't think I have time to complete tonight's puzzle! Oh Well....

11:45 pm

stidmama

almost the same kristin, change the second vowel...

11:46 pm

kristinc

ah, thanks stid!

11:46 pm

stidmama

hi Minveryork -- yes, don't start. This is harder than it looks (not the lack of an S).

11:46 pm

nrkii

Saturday theme, for anyone who wants to change before the flip, is : "how you feel when you've completed a babble grid"

11:46 pm

Minveryork

How come it does not accept the word doodle? Isn't that a word? You know like to draw nonsense things.

11:46 pm

stidmama

oh right! I know the picture I want... have to go find it... brb

11:46 pm

hetty

Jilli,you and I must cooperate in hosting babble visitors when we coax them into a visit. Glad you've finished tonight--see you at the flip

11:46 pm

jillibus

kristin -- tr 5?12 - a threesome

11:47 pm

stidmama

the E is in the wrong place M.....

11:47 pm

kristinc

oh! fun theme...might finally need to update mine

11:47 pm

nrkii

minver, I don't think you can make the word doodle here

11:47 pm

nrkii

doodly ought to be accepted though, like when you have a paper from notes you took during a meeting, and it ends up being all doodly

11:48 pm

jillibus

doodle doesn't work in the grid. wish it did -- a fond nickname for my grown son which makes him groan

11:48 pm

kristinc

and done! not nearly as close as I thought I would cut it...thanks for the help EVERYONE!

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Oh, yeah you're right nrkii.It's not in the puzzle. I'm already off to a great start!Any clues on the ry word

11:48 pm

stidmama

YAY kristin!

11:48 pm
