hi schroeder - how nice to see you back!

12:47 am

kierlex

i guess i need to explore those links more at the bottom of the page. if i could drag myself away from the puzzle

12:47 am

jaianniah

and the trots get even sicker because this puzzle adds a mysterious vowel to the spelling, just for the "fun" of it!!!!

Bambam

yes mab.... very liberal american spelling for the runs!

12:47 am

Schroeder

Nice to be back....:)

stick an ''o'' in as the 3rd last letter and you got an even better dose of the trots

12:49 am

I guess...."trots" works for me....and I don't have to be sure to spell it right! LOL

12:49 am

kierlex

well, ick.

12:49 am

mab

thanks bb

12:50 am

kierlex

12:50 am

mab

as if it's not revolting enough to enter the word once

clownfacedhunter

2:21 am

JMann

pretty good, a little tired from work, but ready for the grid (I hope!)

2:22 am

mattygroves

How about Z clules?

2:23 am

Cat9x

zo plus 2 vowels, next Z, add a consonant at the end

2:24 am

mattygroves

Merci, Cat!

2:24 am

Cat9x

sorry meant the next Z is the same as zo4/9, but with a consonant added to make it zo5/20 :)

2:24 am

mattygroves

Like your icon, Cat.

2:24 am

Maddie26

ty cat!!!!!!!!

2:25 am

Cat9x

thanks Matty :)

2:25 am

mattygroves

I meant Danke, Merci, Domo Arigoto, Obrigada, Gracias...

2:25 am

Cat9x

you're welcome Maddie :)

2:25 am

Cat9x

lol matty :)

2:26 am

Maddie26

do you have any clues for the 9-letter words?

2:26 am

mattygroves

Gratzie, Efcaristo (ok, my spelling is poor, but you get the drift..) :D

2:26 am

Cat9x

Maddie, they are both related to the di8/50, different end spellings is all

2:27 am

mattygroves

Oh, I have the de8/50, not the DI.

2:28 am

Maddie26

i dont get it cat!

2:28 am

Cat9x

di8/50 relates to, hmmm, how about Montezumas revenge? :)

2:28 am

Cat9x

Maddie, do you have di8/50?

2:28 am

mattygroves

Crikey - I can NEVER spell that word - lessie how I do...

2:28 am

Maddie26

in english please??!! LOL!

2:29 am

Cat9x

Maddie, do you have di8/50?

2:29 am

Maddie26

yes cat.

2:30 am

mattygroves

OK, I've got the eight, and one of the nines (but thankfully, not the word LITERALLY - my bowels are fine) - just looking for the other?

2:30 am

Cat9x

then add a consonant at the end to give you di9/66

2:30 am

mattygroves

Are there two di 9s then?

2:30 am

Cat9x

both nines are related to the di8/50 Matty

2:31 am

mattygroves

Okey dokey, I've got one of them, looking for the other.

2:31 am

Cat9x

the one without the ending consonant is the 2nd one, ends with all vowels

2:31 am

Cat9x

a wierd combo of vowels :)

2:32 am

mattygroves

Got em both - thanks cat (for the words, not the condition)!

2:32 am

Cat9x

lol, you're welcome :)

2:33 am

Maddie26

i havent got the 2nd 9-letter?

2:33 am

mattygroves

Try Google - google the eight, and look for an alternate spelling.

2:34 am

Cat9x

ok Maddie, take the di8/50 and remove the ea at the end, then add 4th vowel, then2nd vowel, first vowel, you will have di9/66

2:34 am

JMann

Maddie, try taking the DI 8/50, and adding another vowel between the last two vowels of DI 8/50. The last three letters are a weird combo of vowels, if all else fails, just keep typing

2:35 am

Cat9x

now, off to find more words :)

2:36 am

Cat9x

my phantom word is aloha, I swear I keep seeing it :)

2:36 am

2:40 am

Maddie26

ok cat. do you have any other 7-letter words?

2:40 am

JMann

Yeah, "herald" keeps popping out for me too

2:41 am

Cat9x

ne7/32, when you are a geek, they call you a ne4/5, add to that to give you ne7/32

2:42 am

mattygroves

I'm missing one eight - I have the runs (not literally) and the ghastly train accident...

2:43 am

JMann

its another spelling for the DI 9/66, but with a weird three vowel ending combo

2:43 am

Cat9x

also a re8/50, what they do to "fat" they re6/21 it, then add on to make it re8/50

2:43 am

JMann

okay, sorry about that, ignore my last advice

2:43 am

Cat9x

hope that helps, thats the only way I know to explain it, in cooking terms

2:44 am

mattygroves

Jemma444

Haz1558

3:36 am

JGalloway

can you give me some clues haz

3:36 am

Jemma444

Thats Ok!!But you are not that old!!

3:36 am

Cat9x

another name for a geek is a ne4/5. When you don't tell the truth, people call you a li4/4. Something that is unusual or hard to finds is ra4/5. When you apply for a job, it is because you want them to hi4/5 you.

3:37 am

Haz1558

How many words do you have JGalloway? I always recommend finding four letter words first.

3:38 am

Jemma444

Thanks a lot Cat!!(-:

3:38 am

JGalloway

JGalloway

3:39 am

mrpresident

Jemma & JG, you need to look a bit harder on the grid before asking for clues, and you need to be specific about the clues you want... please.

3:39 am

Jemma444

Ok, sorry

3:40 am

Haz1558

Gas, coal and petrol are forms of fu4/8, fishermen hope to have a good ha4/6 of fish, and if you have an accident your car may have a de4/4 in it. Those are the free ones I'm giving. You need to do some hunting for yourselves.

3:40 am

Jemma444

Mr President, i like your Cat picture!!

3:40 am

JGalloway

i am trying my hardest mrP

3:50 am

Haz1558

There are few possibilities for getting sequences going.

3:50 am

Preethi

I have 38 :( Sorry for the typos.

3:52 am

CJ25

Haz RE words?

3:53 am

Haz1558

So far I have re4/5 and its past tense re6/21 (perform an action again)

3:53 am

Haz1558

re6/21 - depended upon

3:54 am

Preethi

I ahve 7

3:54 am

Preethi

w many altogether?

3:54 am

Haz1558

re4/5 - almost like the action word but ending in a diferent vowel. Looks like a colour plus vowel.

3:54 am

Maddie26

hi everyone!

3:55 am

Haz1558

There is a word to do with payment for a house - I'm still looking!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Hello Maddie - ready to find more words?

3:56 am

Maddie26

3:56 am

Preethi

re 8/50 is past tense of re 6/21

3:57 am

PM26

hey everyone! hi maddie!

3:57 am

Maddie26

hey PM!

3:57 am

Preethi

Hi Maddie

3:57 am

Cat9x

question Haz, how it is you know what to look for, like when you said you are looking for a word having to do with payment for a house. Is there a page that clues me like that?

3:57 am

Preethi

Hey PM

3:57 am

Maddie26

hi preethi

3:58 am

mrpresident

yeah, it is the chat box!

3:58 am

Haz1558

No, Cat - I was giving a general clue for an re word that has to do with payment for a house. I should have indicated it with re4/4 - sorry for any confusion caused.

3:59 am

Cat9x

ohhh LOL mrp :) I thought maybe one of the sites below clued the grid words that way, sorry :)

3:59 am

Cat9x

no problem Haz :)

3:59 am

Preethi

Hello mepresident

3:59 am

Preethi

mrpresident. Sorry for the typo

3:59 am

mrpresident

cat, you could email the powers and ask them if that is possible?? user demand tends to be a good reason to try.

3:59 am

mrpresident

Hi Preethi!

4:00 am

CJ25

prethei there are a few Re6/21's which RE8?

4:00 am

Haz1558

There is an interesting ca4/6 - rhymes with the fisherman's ha4/6. Irish legend has it that if you are born within one of these, then you are destined to have good luck.

4:01 am

Maddie26

does anyone have any clues for the ha7/36?

4:01 am

Preethi

this is the re 6/21 which means to give

4:02 am

Preethi

or to present

4:02 am

Haz1558

ha7/36 is someone who runs a company to take things to places

4:03 am

Haz1558

It is formed off the ha4/6.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Thanks Preethi - I have it now.

4:03 am

Preethi

:) yw

4:04 am

Maddie26

i dont get it haz!!

4:04 am

Preethi

some other clue for ha 7 Haz. I dont ahve the ha 4

4:05 am

Haz1558

Okay - ha4/6 is what fishermen hope for - or another word for 'to pull'. The past tense is ha6/27 and ha7/36 is the one who does the pulling

4:06 am

CJ25

what witches brew in s that in there?

4:06 am

Preethi

Thanks Haz

4:06 am

Preethi

Got it

4:07 am

Haz1558

No - but use the start of that word for the ca4/6 I was talking about earlier.

4:07 am

JMann

actually, Haz, the past tense is HA 6/27, the person doing it is HA 6/24, and a company doing it would be HA 7/36. There is one missing in there, but it's all so close

4:09 am

Preethi

Dint get the Ha 7. Got the other two

4:11 am

Haz1558

Then put another vowel into your ha6 to get the 7 Preethi.

4:11 am

JMann

okay, start with HA 4/6 - a fisherman's HA** (or their take). Then, the next 3 build off of that word.

4:12 am

mrpresident

Oh truly, h's are evil!

4:13 am

mrpresident

The the c's ! they are self explanatory!

4:13 am

JMann

the next word is the past tense of HA 4/6. the one after that is what you would call someone who actually did HA 4/6. The final word again builds on HA 4/6, but adds one more vowel before the final two letters the word before it

4:14 am

Haz1558

I've found a de8/50 - what happened when the train went off the tracks.

4:14 am

PM26

could i please have a clue for ac6/24?

4:15 am

Preethi

Got it. Thanks Haz, JMann

4:15 am

JMann

yw

4:15 am

Maddie26

hey can somepeople give me some clues for the O words

4:15 am

Preethi

4:16 am

PM26

4:17 am

Maddie26

i am jake on maddies things she wants me to get some word for her

4:17 am

PM26

okay

4:18 am

Maddie26

do you have the O words PM

4:18 am

Haz1558

The bottom two o words are oh4/6 - make this into a past tense word. oh4/5 - almost an American state but ending in a different vowel.

4:18 am

Cat9x

ac6/24, a plus vowel plus a hawaiian ***.

4:18 am

Haz1558

The top o words - the one I have is on7/28 - meaning more cross or cantankerous.

4:19 am

mrpresident

thanks cat

4:19 am

Cat9x

4:27 am

thesnark

Regarding the dr6/24 - the spinning top - I found this a while ago and tried all the different spellings - but it's not showing up in the dictionary. Anyone else having this problem?

4:27 am

mrpresident

I am guessing they are not fishcake words!!
No prob PM, just need to get finished, your clue is great

4:29 am

Preethi

I got that. But tahts a 8 letter word rite?

4:29 am

thesnark

glad I'm not alone - must work for some and not for others. Please note - if you're looking for good clues, almost all the ones being requested show up earlier in the chat log. You'll find them.

4:30 am

Haz1558

It's a 9 letter word Preethi.

4:30 am

broll

he7 - strange word. Take most of the fish and past-tense it.

4:31 am

mrpresident

4:32 am

Preethi

there are two Haz. One is 8/50 and the other. Got them both

4:32 am

broll

yw. I tell you, Babble makes your brain change! I monkeytyped that one on the first try.

4:32 am

Preethi

bye PM

4:32 am

JMann

Dianne, I'm really having problems finding the DR 6/24, any more clues on it?

4:32 am

mrpresident

ok, that leaves the elusive le5 ?? any hints ?

4:33 am

broll

le5. Another strange one. Add the Hawaiian dance with one letter missing.

4:34 am

mrpresident

JMann, I have seen it spelt with an e before the last letter, normally?? it is in the dictionary if that helps

4:35 am

CJ25

what do you mean by fishcake words?

4:36 am

Haz1558

Thans preethi - I eventually found the di8/50 word. Famers round here just call it 'the scoots'. Much easier to spell!

4:36 am

Preethi

:) yw

4:37 am

broll

JMann - After your clothes are washed, they are dr***. Switch the vowels, and add a consonant on the end.

4:37 am

thesnark

Jmann - just a warning on the dr6/24 - it's not showing up for everyone (I've tried seven different spellings, including the 'correct' one and it isn't showing up, so don't be surprised if you don't get it. :-)

4:37 am

CJ25

the snark - spinning top - its got a consonant at the end of it dr6 strange spelling

4:37 am

Preethi

Got that. Thanks mrp, broll

4:38 am

Preethi

Dint get the le 5. some other clue?

4:38 am

thesnark

Hi CJ25 - I have tried and it's still not showing up for me.

4:38 am

mrpresident

farmers around here call it the squirts

4:38 am

Haz1558

A descriptive lot, are farmers.

4:39 am

JMann

thanks everyone for the clues. I did finally get it. the clearest explanation is broll's, so check that one out

4:40 am

CJ25

when something isnt wet anymore its Dr5/24 swap over the vowels and then add a consonant thesnark

4:40 am

JMann

try looking it up in the dictionary, because they give alternate spellings

4:40 am

Preethi

clue forhe 7?

4:40 am

CJ25

dr5/14 I mean

4:41 am

Haz1558

Scroll down for broll's clue at 4.30 for the he7

4:41 am

mrpresident

well, hawiian doesn't work for me... le5 please???

4:42 am

Cat9x

le plus the hawaiian dance, but remove the tall consonant

4:43 am

mrpresident

what hawaiian dance? I am thick or what?

4:43 am

broll

The one with the grass skirts!

4:44 am

mrpresident

oh THAT hawaiian dance... some one kill me!!

4:44 am

Cat9x

the dance where the girls swivel their hips :)

4:44 am

Cat9x

broll, can you regive a clue on the he7, sorry I didn't wuite understand the previous one you gave

4:45 am

He's done something with his columns - if you enlarge the window then drag it smaller you can see how the checkbox column moves and the others stay put. Should be easy to fix as soon as he knows about it

7:46 am

Good point, TO -- I stand corrected :)

7:49 am

ch1212

evanadine, that's my beautiful daughter who got married this past weekend. She's now on her her honeymoon - Bahamas cruise.

7:49 am

hurshy

and anj discovers the new system...

7:49 am

Anj

...heh heh heh. Guess who isn't used to the new layout : /

7:50 am

Anj

...and it isn't even a valid word : s

7:50 am

amandacath

...but almost!

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

anj: as you can see we need a new fish! but it's only for those who slip and don't put in a real grid word! : D

7:51 am

Anj

...oh dear. It might have to be something exotic. We are getting charged a fortune for 'normal' white fish atound here just now...

7:52 am

72 Temple Owl

anj: you cannot use the word "normal" in babblelonia.. ( you HAVE been away for too long!)

7:54 am

Anj

Whoops, I must have uninstalled my Babbleverse Protocols... Would we settle for a carp?

7:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i must go : ( so nice to see you...babble at work is really a nono but i like to stop in and say hi- be back at lunch!

7:56 am

ch1212

Anj, I just returned yesterday after a bit of an absence myself (daughter's wedding) and it seemed like several regulars were missing ... where have you been? Did you elope as the log suggested?

7:56 am

7:56 am

mrpresident

moring ch and angel!

7:56 am

amandacath

Hi Angel!

7:56 am

Jacula

Hi Anj! Nice to see you here. A carp would do very well, since it's an anagram of what most people say when they accidentally type a word in the wrong place.

7:56 am

ch1212

hi mr.p and angelson and jacula and ... everyone!

7:56 am

Angelsong

welcome back, ch..hi, mrp...:)

7:57 am

Hope the wedding went well : )

7:57 am

8:22 am

pabtrek

you know you'll suffer from withdrawal, and you definitely will be missed

8:23 am

amandacath

Awww - it really is a lovely city. But I understand you giving Germany a miss right now. It's pretty much booked up, what with the World Cup

8:23 am

hurshy

really though, it should be no problem to babble intermittently. prob not every day, but i won't be completely gone

8:23 am

jrh402s

you're leaving us hurshy?

8:23 am

jrh402s

wait, to go to europe? That's acceptable :)

8:23 am

hurshy

oh of course *i* will have withdrawal, anguish, grief... i just meant YOU all would have a welcome break from me

8:23 am

ch1212

I was only away for a week or so and had serious withdrawal. In addition to my daughter's wedding, I also had to stop because of "babble elbow syndrome" from too much computer :)

8:24 am

people just have to refresh (or click on it) to see it

8:47 am

sprite

And what is Dzongkha!?

8:47 am

Jacula

LOL jrh. It can be seen on your profile though. Hate that stuff; it takes like Germoline. Not that I've ever tasted Germoline, but you know what I mean.

8:47 am

8:48 am

abe79

congrats amanda

8:49 am

SueMagee

There's something a little odd here. I've got 2 to get and I've got 11 of the 13 R words. This agrees with Lickerty - I've got 2 RE 6 to find, but my word stats show that I've got 2 x 6 and 1 x 9 to get. Plus, I've entered one of the DI 9 letters and it's been credited as a 10!

8:49 am

jrh402s

congrats amanda

I'm off to do something constructive in the garden. BBL for my remaining 47. Happy Babbling!

8:50 am

sue: sometimes the grid isn't what it appears. ask Neo.

8:55 am

SueMagee

Thanks, Mab - a refresh has cleared the word stats. The other problem has been sorted too. So I notice jrh! Thank you all. Just one left to get now. I'm glad I hadn't re6;21 on the grid!

8:57 am

sprite

Found one 9... how on earth can the other be related???

8:57 am

abe79

it's an alternate spelling of the 8

8:57 am

SueMagee

Try alternative spellings, Sprite.

8:58 am

mattygroves

There are all related - one nine is a variation of the spelling of the eight, and the other is the condition relating to it.

8:58 am

sprite

Yes, that is what I read in the log, but I cannot come up with another spelling... *starts monkeytyping wildly*

hurshy was so proud she found all the 8's and 9's all by herself today!

only one 8 and no 9s yet here...

9:02 am

You must be an expert on the subject, hurshy! :)

9:02 am

hurshy

*squirms*

9:02 am

mab

I nearly did too, but missed the third yuk

9:02 am

hurshy

it's probably cause of my sister. she's very into gas, bloating, and any other gastrointestinal problems.

9:03 am

hurshy

i mean she likes talking about them.

9:03 am

Anj

...is she a proctologist??? : s

9:03 am

mab

she is 'into' it?

9:03 am

sprite

Both my kids had a period that they did the same ;)

9:03 am

hurshy

no she's just a goofy youngest sister

9:04 am

hurshy

ok but my sister is 22

Hey, ET is in the grid too :)

Hey EB! : ) I'm today's special guest : D

9:05 am

any directions as to how i find the others?

9:05 am

EasternBlue

welcome back!!

9:06 am

Anj

IT's been a while...although I must admit to finding this one heavy going...

9:06 am

Anj

Evanadine, take the hockey stick off the end and plug a hoop in there...or vice versa : )

9:06 am

mab

one of george eliot's characters - in daniel deronda, I think - wishes that she did not have to eat, that she could just absorb nutrients like the leaves on trees. I'm like that.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

ok, found the other 9 -- are there 2 different 8s dealing with the same topic?

9:07 am

mab

the yuk factor included

9:07 am

hurshy

no one 8 and two 9's on that topic

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

i love the webster's definiton for the di8...

9:07 am

Anj - I'm the same way..I've been so busy at work, haven't had as much time/brainpower left to babble...did a grid the other day that took way too long!! ; )

9:08 am

EvaNadine

okie dokie then...i have 2 8s starting with D. just the last 8 im missing :)

9:08 am

hurshy

re8

9:08 am

EvaNadine

its always gotta be the REs, doesnt it!?

9:09 am

Anj

re8... past tense of re6... do things to walls, or make something obsolete

thanky anj!

Morning all. I'm starting early hoping to finish the a's before the workday begins, and I'm already stymied by ad6--any help for that one please?

9:40 am

There were some pretty nasty words in there today for a small grid.

9:41 am

Eva

does anyone have a clue for the 9?

9:41 am

sprite

hetty: stick to something

9:41 am

ch1212

Miss Hetty, it means to stick to something, like glue

9:41 am

pabtrek

Eva, think imodium

9:41 am

jrh402s

eva: my icon relieves it :)

9:41 am

bunnyvicious

Eva, do you have the di 8? They build off that.

9:42 am

ch1212

Eva, one 9 is an alternate spelling of the 8, the other 9 is the condition of the 8

9:42 am

bunnyvicious

LOL, I just realized what your icon was. Did you change it just for that?

9:42 am

jrh402s

I did!

9:42 am

bunnyvicious

Excellent clue!

9:42 am

jrh402s

and I've been waiting patiently for someone to ask about the 8 and 9's

9:43 am

Eva

circling around it-have the8, but can't seem to figure out the 9's but will....

9:44 am

hetty

Thanks, I had discarded that as being one letter short! Fine way to start the day. Bless you ch1212.

9:45 am

Eva

okay! got the one with the long stick at the end. Now need to find the alt spelling

9:45 am

ch1212

Thank you! I like your icon -- beautiful mountains

9:45 am

bunnyvicious

Eva, if you have the z's, they end exactly the same as the last three letters in those.

9:46 am

Eva

thanks bunny, but don't have the z's yet

9:46 am

Tiny

ch1212 are you still here

9:47 am

and thank you, sprite. Happy days. My present ikon is the view from my window.

9:50 am

Eva

okay-I give-can someone help me with the other 9 that's the alternate spelling?

9:50 am

ch1212

Eva, it's the garden implement with the first vowel

9:50 am

Eva

I have the one that ends like the opposite of fake

9:50 am

mab

put an o in there eva

9:51 am

mab

the other is the adjective form

9:52 am

ch1212

or, your first 5 letters of the 8, plus the garden tool plus the first vowel ... Now see why I couldn't find it without help?

9:53 am

jrh402s

plus, the alternative spelling is in most dictionaries under the di8

9:53 am

Eva

thank you all! ch that clinched it!

9:54 am

Eva

I'm still missing an 8. I have: de8/50 x 2. What's the other one?

9:56 am

ch1212 I have sent a note to Dr_God

9:56 am

Great, Tiny -- He's pretty good about responding the same day. Unless it's the 7th Day :)

9:57 am

ch1212

Eva, would you care to share a clue about that de 8/50 ?

9:58 am

how about the tu/8 anyone?

9:58 am

Eva

ch-what causes a train wreck

9:58 am

ch1212

Grace, little Miss Muffet -- first 4

9:59 am

ahhh, thanks Eva (slaps self with trout)

9:59 am

Eva

be gentle to that trout ch(-: We will all need to use it again and again

9:59 am

ch1212

Grace, just realized my clue was nonsense. Okay, first 3 letters of Miss M's seat, then beverage letter

9:59 am

GraceM

aha!

10:00 am

Eva

there isn't a tu8 that I know if

10:00 am

GraceM

sorry.. meant the tu 4/8

10:00 am

Eva

phew!

10:00 am

ch1212

It's a Rainbow Trout, Eva -- they are bred to be 'hardy' (Okay, inside joke -- one of the early pioneers of trout farming in Idaho was named Hardy.)

10:01 am

the third letter of miss muffet

10:01 am

jean1953

good afternoon everybody:)

10:01 am

'seat isn't in the grid

Eva

trout humor no less...you never know when such information will come in handy.

10:01 am

hetty

yes it is, sorry

10:03 am

Eva

hetty-how can seat bein the grid when there's no s?

10:03 am

GraceM

I've got a whole mess of re words left to do... grrr.

10:03 am

ch1212

Eva, it's Miss Muffet's seat ... as in Little Miss Muffet sat on her tu****

10:04 am

ch1212

So ... the first 3 letters of her 'seat' then add the beverage letter for that tu 4/8

10:04 am

hetty

OK Eva, my fingers as usual. Now, hving found the "f", I can not proceed further--nowhere to go but an obvious no-no

10:04 am

GraceM

ontuft

10:05 am

Eva

oh-and that isn't there. Well, it actually hasn't rained yet today, a minor miracle, so I'm going to head out to the garden for a while. That,of course, will bring the rain on immediately.

10:05 am

GraceM

eep... monkeytyping ...sorry

10:05 am

ch1212

:D That's a good one, Eva !

10:05 am

hetty

Now I've seen the other T. I need a whiole basket of fish thrown at me today

10:05 am

ch1212

Eva, of course you could just take the last 4 letters of GraceM's 10:04 entry :)

10:06 am

Eva

consider yourself fish showered hetty

10:07 am

hetty

Grace, how could you monkeytype a false clue while I'm submerged in fish already

10:07 am

GraceM

my bad.

10:07 am

Eva

this is like one of those children's games of telephone....I have had the tu word for a long time, but then when hetty wrote "seat", I thought it peculiar, because there is no s, and then grace or someone wrote about tu8 and that confused me too . As you can tell, I am easily confused.

10:07 am

GraceM

looking for that on/7

10:09 am

ch1212

Eva, it happens to me at least once a day in my Babble travels :) Nice to have company

10:09 am

Gee, Miss Hetty, I have just AHED and **** at your clue!

10:26 am

Haz1558

od4/5 - a poem and a vowel, oh4/6 - past tense of the letters given, oh4/5 - differs from the American state by the last vowel, on7/28 a comparative adjective for a word meaning cantankerous.

10:27 am

ch1212

Haz, you are wonderous ... and wonderful -- thanks for that cantankerous 7

10:27 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

10:30 am

hetty

Yup, I agree Haz--tho I was looking for another"r' in the word, so I'll just alert others to its elision

10:31 am

Becca Lorum

Haz - you're a star - just got all the o's. Thanks

10:32 am

Haz1558

I'm glad it helped Becca.

10:33 am

ch1212

Haz, do you mind my asking -- are you / were you an English instructor?

10:33 am

hetty

I* hadn't got that far, Haz. Thanks

10:34 am

Haz1558

No - I studied languages but have never taught English.

10:35 am

hetty

You have all the necessary skills to do so, Haz, plus the essential caring and sharing nature

10:35 am

ch1212

Ah, you studied languages. That explains it! My beloved is the same way -- he is fluent in 4 languages and reads/writes in several others. You speak like he does at times when he defines words.

10:35 am

10:37 am

Haz1558

ch1212 - it becomes second nature to define words in a particular way, in the same way as my husband talks in medical terms. A nosebleed is never a nosebleed, it's an episode of epistaxis!

10:37 am

ch1212

I do, Miss Hetty, I do. He was a marvelous guide when we toured Italy last year, and could speak with everyone we met -- Italian, Spanish, German and of course English speakers.

LOL Haz!

hetty

tuo, begin with acumen and cut of the last letter before adding the floral garland they offer in the South Seas

10:38 am

Merk

Moving house, Becca? Add to that, please.

10:38 am

Merk

Is that for the ha6/24?

10:39 am

Becca Lorum

American van hire company (I think - as I'm in the UK I hope I haven't got this wrong!)

10:39 am

tuco

ty abe!

10:39 am

ch1212

I must leave for a bit. Happy babbling all -- I'll be back later.

10:39 am

Becca Lorum

It's the ha4

10:39 am

Haz1558

Merk - ha4/6 is another word for 'to pull'. ha6/27 is the past tense, ha6/6/24 is the person doing the pulling and ha7/36 is the company prepared to move your goods around.

10:39 am

abe79

yw tuco. see you later ch

10:39 am

Haz1558

Bye ch1212 - have a good day.

10:39 am

Merk

Can you tell me the third letter of it?

10:39 am

hetty

Sorry, Merc, I was cluing tuco with his ac6

10:40 am

Haz1558

It rhymes with bat and ball, Merk

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

bye ch!

10:40 am

Merk

Maz, I have that ha6/24, Someone who brings things in a truck. It is the earlier ha6/24 that I am missing.

10:41 am

Merk

I mean, Haz

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

merk: think of what you sprinkle on icy sidewalks and driveways...

10:41 am

Haz1558

The earlier one is ha plus what you put on top of a jar plus a vowel.

10:42 am

Merk

Thanks, Haz. You always come through. Now I am missing either the first or second ha4/6. I have the one that ends in a past tense ending. It's the other one.

10:43 am

Haz1558

The first ha4/6 is the scottish version of had, and the second one is the low fence that sounds like a laugh.

10:44 am

abe79

that is a low fence? wow, i never knew that. thanks haz

10:44 am

Merk

It must be the fence one I am missing, but I don't know the word for a low fence. I got the sound of a laugh, but do I end in a vowel?

10:45 am

Haz1558

Yes, Merk - it's just a repeat of the first two letter.

10:45 am

Haz1558

Abe - in days of yore the aristocracy built low fences that would not spoil their view of the countryside.

10:46 am

Merk

I am so mad at myself. I have to check the grid more. I was starting with the wrong H and couldn't find the final vowel of course. Duh! So that's a low fence. Where? In England?

10:47 am

Becca Lorum

More of a hidden ditch than a fence, but yes, of course, where else but England?!

10:47 am

Haz1558

The word certainly appears in some of Jane Austen's works - I'll not be able to quote the exact reference. I doubt whether the term is used much any more.

10:47 am

abe79

i'm glad that it has an actual meaning, unlike some of these words!

10:48 am

hannah lou

hiya sha

10:48 am

Erda

I know a South African who built one of those fences in California, so there!

10:48 am

hetty

Yup in England--where they also built follies. Now Hax I'm stuck on what you put on top of a jar. Can't build from a "c'--?

10:49 am

hetty

And Elizabeth admired the one at Darcy's estate in P & P

10:50 am

Haz1558

It's what you also can put on top of a bin. It rhymes with the dry ar4/5

10:51 am

hetty

Thanks. Of course.

10:51 am

Becca Lorum

Erda - I bet he had better views than the English aristocracy too!

10:55 am

Haz1558

And now I must take the dog for a walk - providing that I can get get her wakened from her slumbers, that is. Have a good day, everyone.

10:55 am

hetty

If he was South African he woud be a colonial. Yo know hgow this Britd took the old empire with them wherever they went. In ruralo Manitoba there's the remains of an estate where they built a ballroom and kept a troop of foxes to oblige their imported hounds

10:56 am

Possibly, not, since it was a short one. Anyway, welcome to pro-hood.

11:43 am

jrh402s

thanks !

11:43 am

jrh402s

how did I become a pro?

11:44 am

Vicuna

Is this a rhetorical question?

11:44 am

Vicuna

Usually a pro is someone who gets paid to do something. Here on Babble the pros are the ones who pay to do it. Hmmm...

11:44 am

jrh402s

Umm... should I just say yes?

11:45 am

jrh402s

oh, well yes, I did pay - seemed like the right thing to do

Praes

Dzongkha (à½¢à¾«à½¼à½„à¼‹à½) is the national language of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The word "dzongkha" means the language (kha, à½à¼‹) spoken in the dzong (à½¢à¾«à½¼à½„à¼‹), dzongs being the fortress-like monasteries established throughout Bhutan by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel in the 17th century.

11:53 am

jrh402s

Praes - okay, that's the actual definition

11:53 am

caitlyn

You learn something every day!!!!!LOL

11:53 am

jrh402s

however, I'm trying to introduce it as an exclamitory remark in the vein of "yowsers"

11:54 am

jrh402s

as in , "Dzongkha! What big eyes you have grandma."

11:54 am

Praes

why?

ah it's very cool. i may have to go non-gendered myself

12:22 pm

BryanC

rolin's right Badgirl- refer to Lickety's Babble Clues link on the bottom

12:22 pm

stidmama

nice barnacles, btw -- I love watching them feed. They are so graceful. When you play classical music it's like watching a ballet -- somehow they seem to sync up to the music!

I'm sorry, guys. I'm pretty new at this. Please be patient w/me.

12:26 pm

englishcanuck

ah lucky, ive got 2 years at least

12:26 pm

stidmama

I think "critters" in general are fascinating. The aquarium in Monterey has a tank of jellyfish backlit in blue -- gorgeous.

12:27 pm

Angelsong

stidmama, that is so funny...I felt the same way after I got my undergrad degree, until one day I found myself in graduate school. now, I'm beginning to think about a doctorate.

12:27 pm

stidmama

enjoy your time in school, english -- the ability to exchange ideas and be around people of similar interests is in my experience unmatched in the general work world...

12:27 pm

rolin

im thinking about getting another diploma too

12:28 pm

stidmama

Oh -- I think about going back, LOL, but since I don't know what I want to be when I grow up... studies will have to wait until the children are through school and we have disposable income again!

12:28 pm

englishcanuck

oh i know, i already miss high school for its inane qualities, but i must say uni has impressed me. i enjoy this much more

12:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

dr 5/12 besides "i DR5/12 " the fish slappingi'll get when i finally find this word"...

1:04 pm

Haz1558

Yes, they do. One is an adjectival form of the 8/50, the other is the British/medical spelling with the addition of an o before the last vowels.

1:04 pm

gwenski

thanks abe. I'll just keeping trying to get the missing one.

1:05 pm

Haz1558

Which dr5/12 are you looking for, TO, if that isn't a silly question?

1:14 pm

Charm

1:14 pm

Charm

Hi all.

1:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is either before the drab one or immediately after it

1:15 pm

firefly779

TO - is the one that sounds like what a train does when it comes off the tracks?

1:15 pm

Haz1558

ca7 - take the four letter word that means opposite of warm and change the vowel. To that add a long period of time, as in the Edwardian ***

1:15 pm

Charm

TO - do you have the d + train track?

1:15 pm

Angelsong

missing one of the first two dr5's. I have the one for depressing, as in a very cloudy day.

1:15 pm

Haz1558

Which actually wasn't a very long period of time, come to think of it.

1:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

that would be it, firefly! Thanks! : )

1:20 pm

jrh402s

but not as graphic as abe's!

1:20 pm

Haz1558

rumple - medical condition, along with vomiting, associated with food poisoning. The di8 is one version, the di9/66 is an adjectival form and the other di9 is the medical/British rendition with the addition of an o before the final vowels.

1:20 pm

abe79

i was merely quoting a song...:)

1:20 pm

firefly779

i felt the same way abe about "wacko" (Jacko) in another grid

1:21 pm

abe79

some clues call for pop culture references, i suppose

1:21 pm

firefly779

Haz, great breakdown

1:21 pm

1:23 pm

jrh402s

steph: ad - stick to something

1:23 pm

abe79

it should be!

1:24 pm

Haz1558

ac6/24 - Think of a 4 letter y word that is used to indicate Christmas time. Take off the y, add it to the ac, and put the third vowel on the end.

1:25 pm

StephieC

1:25 pm

firefly779

nice clue again, Haz

1:25 pm

1:28 pm

1:28 pm

Charm

abe and movieman are pod clones....

1:28 pm

Haz1558

ca6/24 is French for notebook

1:28 pm

movieman

I know, abe, but I though I'd join in for once!!!!!

1:28 pm

firefly779

i had the same problem with nrkii on Plate day - both had home plates

1:28 pm

jrh402s

movieman has the crab from little mermaid and firefly has Mr. Crab from Spongebob.

1:29 pm

abe79

well, i can change to an alternate sebastian pic, i was debating between two...

1:29 pm

Haz1558

ca5/16 - add the 'lang syne' word to c.

1:29 pm

movieman

Nah, keep it abe, it looks cool......

1:29 pm

Charm

jrh, I think you're going to be wasted in law school....

1:29 pm

firefly779

yeah jrh, but abe has the same icon as movieman, and it's Mr. Krab with a K ;)

1:29 pm

jrh402s

charm: my real calling is in cartoons

1:30 pm

Haz1558

If the French notebook clue doesn't work, then ca plus an anagram of the leasing hi4/5.

1:30 pm

abe79

i 'll have a slighty identity crisis, but that's ok!

1:30 pm

jrh402s

firefly: nevermind, law school it is.

1:30 pm

Vicuna

A friend of mine got through law school by drawing elaborate (and very silly) cartoons that illustrated all the things that would be on the bar exam.

1:30 pm

Charm

jrh, at least that's an honorable profession, even if it involves starving in cold garrets.

1:32 pm

jrh402s

charm: I no longer want to starve in cold garrets.

1:32 pm

hetty

Ha, my french is quite up to it, as my Scots SHOULD be! Thanks enormously

1:32 pm

jrh402s

vicuna: there's a book that actually suggests that

1:32 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, hetty.

1:33 pm

Vicuna

Perhaps she got the idea from the book. At any rate, she had to use poster boards to make room for everything.

1:33 pm

Charm

Or, jrh, you could become a beach bum, still respectable, even if hurricane season is already upon us.

1:33 pm

Vicuna

Starving in cold garretts is overrated. But then, so are lawyers.

1:33 pm

jrh402s

wow, that's dedication.

1:33 pm

Charm

good one, Vicuna! lol

1:33 pm

jrh402s

charm: I appreciate that you're trying to save my soul and reputation - but I already work in public relations. not much left of either

1:34 pm

Charm

Just tell me you don't work for tobacco or whiskey or politicians.

1:35 pm

jrh402s

two out of three ain't bad, right?

1:35 pm

Charm

... sigh ...

1:35 pm

Vicuna

Charm, Charm, we might all be axe-murderers here on the internet. You don't WANT to know too much about anyone!

1:36 pm

Vicuna

(Though, as it happens, I actually am not an axe-murderer.)

1:36 pm

jrh402s

I wish I worked for tobacco or whiskey, then I'd be rollin in the money

1:36 pm

Vicuna

(Not even an axe-maimer.)

1:36 pm

Charm

We might be. But I have the feeling we in babbleland are all nothing more than nice intelligent people looking for some sanity in an otherwise disordered universe.

1:37 pm

EvaNadine

would an axe-maimer by a psychopath with a conscience??

1:37 pm

Vicuna

Could be, at that!

1:37 pm

Vicuna

No, evanadine, just an incompetant axe-murderer!

1:37 pm

Vicuna

(Please adjust the spelling in your own mind.)

1:38 pm

Charm

I don't maim anything other than innocent vegetables and silent fruit.

1:38 pm

jrh402s

is any vegetable really innocent?

1:38 pm

Charm

until proven guilty of what? bad taste?

1:38 pm

Vicuna

I've seen some truly evil eggplants.

1:38 pm

jrh402s

<--- practicin' for his prosecutin' days

1:39 pm

EvaNadine

vicuna -- maybe hes not incompetent...maybe he just had bad aim + bad vision...cataracts!

1:39 pm

firefly779

what fruits are noisy Charm?

1:39 pm

Charm

Oh, jrh, you didn't tell me you were going to go up against evil dooers. Maybe there is hope for your soul.

1:39 pm

abe79

celery is truly criminal

1:39 pm

jrh402s

the musical fruit?

1:40 pm

Charm

Apples are noisy. Bananas like to sneak up on you.

1:40 pm

firefly779

no abe, BEETS are criminal

1:40 pm

Vicuna

True, evanadine. After all, even axe-murderers are full of excuses these days!

1:40 pm

jrh402s

charm: I'd like to prosecute people that commit crimes against children

1:40 pm

Vicuna

Like feeding them celery?

1:40 pm

jrh402s

that's my specific goal in law school

1:41 pm

rumplestiltskin

Thank you Haz, great clues. Got FIREWORKS. Going to put up peaches for the freezer.

1:41 pm

Angelsong

I just figured out a neat trick. if you use lickety's list and Firefox browser, this will work for you, and it may also work with other browsers. I opened lickety's list in a new window, then reduced the size of the window by dragging the edges of it. now I can overlay the list with the babble word list and easily check off the words I've found.

1:41 pm

jrh402s

vic: maybe really, really large amounts?

1:41 pm

lgorms

almost there, ahh... does anyone have any clues for ca 6/24, dr 6/24 or on 7/28??

1:41 pm

Charm

For that, jrh, you'd be forgiven most anything. Have you ever heard of a lawyer (turned author) in NYC named Andrew Vacchs?

1:41 pm

Vicuna

(Actually, I like celery fine. It was abe who thought it was criminal.)

1:41 pm

jrh402s

no! similiar interest?

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

CAT7519

the first re6/18, the third re5/12 and the second re6/21

5:23 pm

FranMag

CAT, were those the ones you needed? also means to draw as in plans

5:24 pm

FranMag

re6/18 is genuine + two vowels in reverse order

5:25 pm

periwinkle

have re6/21- does the re8 build off of that

5:25 pm

FranMag

re5/12 is color + opp of off

5:25 pm

FranMag

yes peri

5:26 pm

FranMag

second re6/21 is latin plural of the 5 before it

5:26 pm

periwinkle

can't figure out the re8 even with the clues :(

5:26 pm

periwinkle

two vowels in reverse order?

5:27 pm

CAT7519

WOOHOO!!!! FiREWORKS!!!! THANKS FRAN!!!

5:27 pm

FranMag

the re8 is the past tense of the re6 that means to draw in a realistic way

5:27 pm

FranMag

yay cat!!!!

5:27 pm

FranMag

peri, the later vowel comes first

5:29 pm

periwinkle

Fran, found the re6 but it will not accepted past tense

5:29 pm

FranMag

did you add the talking horse peri?

5:30 pm

periwinkle

I tried but it was not accepted

5:31 pm

FranMag

type slow peri, it worked for me.

5:32 pm

periwinkle

Fran, I have tried 3 times, refreshed 3 times and typed in slowly and it will still not accept the past tense of re6, RATS

5:32 pm

DawnGray

Maybe you're looking at the wrong re 6/21. It worked for me.

5:33 pm

DawnGray

Re 6/21 that becomes past tense is also something you do with an animal to get meat

5:33 pm

FranMag

make sure you're working off the right re6 peri, it's the one after the re4/5 that means to rip

5:33 pm

FranMag

but before the lease

5:34 pm

FranMag

my monkeys are stumped, anyone have a clue for the on7/28?

5:34 pm

libarebel

on7/28--more stubborn, contrary

5:35 pm

periwinkle

Uhoh, it looks like I do not have the right re6, the one I have start with a word that means genuine, is that the right one for the re8

5:35 pm

FranMag

no peri, it's towards the end of the REs

5:35 pm

periwinkle

may I have a clue for the correct re6

5:36 pm

periwinkle

so I was driving myself crazy for nothing :)

5:36 pm

FranMag

peri, it means to draw in a realiztic way, comes off the 4/5 before lease

5:36 pm

FranMag

yes peri, you were!! ;-) there were a lot of clues flying

5:37 pm

FranMag

sorry, that's realistic way

5:37 pm

FranMag

featherbee

oh, lickety did say there would be some problems when minimizing it

6:45 pm

nrkii

Firefly -- nice suggestion for the store -- the management has posted a reply!

We used to encounted lots of horseshoe crabs in Fire Island, when I was a kid. They were fascinating. You could tell just by looking at them how ancient they were. They were harmless unless they ran into you by accident.

At least it isn't chianti, bookgrrl! Actually, the most commonly eaten food in a country is the most common allergy--has to do with exposure, I guess.

9:13 pm

9:14 pm

FranMag

it is peri, the ha4/6 probably has some kind of archaic adjective meaning in enable

9:14 pm

10:00 pm

it does sound weird, I know, but I tried the chocolate/pepper combo somewhere else (a big chocolate store in NY I think, where they offer hot chocolate straight or with chili pepper) and it is wonderful... also a place in NY sells gelato that is chocolate with pepper and it's the best gelato I've ever had!

10:02 pm

mich_pdx

there's a chocolate co. out of Ashland, OR that has fab. diverse flavors -- one of them is chipotle and "nibs" which are crunchy partially processed cacao beans. Delish!

10:02 pm

Mole Poblano is a mexican dish made with sesame, almond chocolate, several kinds of dried chiles, you make the sauce and serve it with chicken or turkey

10:12 pm

StephieC

thanks!

10:12 pm

nrkii

Mole (moh-leh), of which there are several varieties, is an Oaxacan tradition. Most moles are used as sauces poured over chicken or turkey or used to flavor foods such as tamales. The black mole is what Oaxaca is most famous for, and one of its many ingredients is chocolate. You can find black and red mole in the market. Establishments that sell fresh chocolate often grind and mix the ingredients for more and sell it as a paste. These kinds of mole keep very well.

So does crossing over to Boggle mean I betrayed you all? Is Boggle Babble's biggest competition? I didn't do too well in Boggle either if that makes you feel better

10:48 pm

stidmama

I agree -- go listless another time. This one is confusing enough WITH a list!

10:48 pm

StephieC

ri - another word for mouse, but change the o to the third vowel

10:54 pm

tndaisy1960

10:55 pm

10:56 pm

tndaisy1960

10:56 pm

anders

leslie, leslie, this is a funny grid. no plurals ...

10:56 pm

tndaisy1960

10:56 pm

LeslieAnn

that's true, but there are past tenses, and "more so" 's

10:56 pm

stidmama

I am in IM under "invisible..."

10:57 pm

tndaisy1960

oic....maybe I should do that;)

10:57 pm

LeslieAnn

good thing you've got that banana split to keep you company, daisy

10:57 pm

Minveryork

LeslieAnn, that is a good idea to copy and paste the list to a word document. I never thought of that. It would save time w/writing. type faster than I write.

10:57 pm

anders

stid, thanks, it's a haida piece. i have a collection of native and inuit art. love it

10:57 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, i use brandyjack's list, you have to go through a few extra steps to get lickety's into the doc right

10:58 pm

stidmama

I think haida art is lovely -- the local people to me "squaxin" also have some lovely designs.

10:58 pm

stidmama

what else do you need anders?

10:59 pm

Minveryork

Yeah, I copy it and then paste it into word and then print it out. I could just print it online, but I don't.

10:59 pm

Minveryork

So now going listless, it;s hard for me to ask for clues

11:00 pm

anders

i need the z 5

11:00 pm

Minveryork

I don't have the tiles since I'm not pro yet. I have to just rely on the clues in the chat log. It is very hard!

11:00 pm

FranMag

add a consonant to the zo4/9 anders

11:00 pm

Freckle

11:52 pm

Cat9x

11:53 pm

FranMag

nice icon cat! i like how all your icons still relate to cat, must be hard to find some themes

11:54 pm

thesnark

Hi Leslie - I do have that spelling, and the other - but is the 2nd 9Di another variation?

11:54 pm

mymuseisme

I';m stuck on the re 6/18 after depended, could I get a hint plz?

11:54 pm

Cat9x

Thanks Fran :) Not really hard to find, it's just that I am particlular, so I keep looking till I find just the right one. I know the day will come when I won't be able to incorporate a cat in the theme.

11:54 pm

LeslieAnn

yes, my clue was to change one di9 (that ends with an L) into the other di9

11:54 pm

saphyre
