1:11 am

mirandapan

Old or New Testament dianne?

1:12 am

Dianne

I think the Old Testament - Think Jewish.

1:14 am

Dianne

Actually I think it could apply to both if a Jewish person was referencing the New Testament - but I'm not sure. Where is Ren when we need her?

1:14 am

mirandapan

hmmmmm

1:15 am

hemorrhagic - i keep seeing it

1:43 am

sprite

Me too! And the Hae... variant too.

1:43 am

sprite

Can anyone help me with another Ha7 clue? Somehow the Bible doesn't work out with me today.

1:43 am

mab

would be good words

1:45 am

mirandapan

I got the ha 7!!! it is biblical, but it's misspelled (leaving out a letter) according to dictionary.

1:46 am

Cat9x

sprite, think an old ***, plus vowel plus first three letters of a mans name

1:46 am

mab

i don't have it; dianne said something about jews referring to the new testament, but that doesn't help me as we don't really refer to the new testament

1:46 am

sprite

I tried everything I could think of regarding the bible, but it doesn't work.

1:47 am

mirandapan

Mab--it's what a portion of the Hebrew Bible is called--like pentateuch, etc.

1:47 am

sprite

Cat, you're the best :) Thanks!

1:47 am

Cat9x

:) You're welcome sprite !

1:47 am

mirandapan

And it's the adj for that

1:49 am

sprite

If it wouldn't be an adj, would it end with M?

1:49 am

JMann

hello everyone, how is everyone doing?

1:49 am

mab

oh wow - that word. thanks cat :)

1:50 am

Cat9x

you're welcome mab :)

1:51 am

Cat9x

Hi Jm

1:51 am

mab

at passover we use a book called the pesach ha*****, but babble's not taking that

1:51 am

JMann

Cat - I'm looking for the HA 7, but but am not sure what "man's name" you're referring to. Any clues on that?

1:51 am

jeffer

sprite - earlier someone said "AA for witches?", or something along those lines. allin top left corner. Actually variant spelling

1:51 am

sprite

"armada" does not exist in the puzzle.
"armada" does not exist in the puzzle.
SO STOP ENTERING IT!

1:52 am

Cat9x

JM, its first three of a mans name, or slang for a male body part :)

1:52 am

Dianne

Mab - it's a different spelling

1:53 am

ls1

mab - the ha 8 is that word - change the last vowel and add a consonent

1:53 am

JMann

Ah, that did it, thanks Cat!

1:53 am

ls1

I think it is pertaining to the ha*** mab

1:53 am

Cat9x

:) you're welcome JM

1:55 am

mab

thank you ls1. this must be the theological babble. with witches and jews, etc.

1:56 am

FranMag

hello all!

1:57 am

sprite

Hey Fran, nice fish!

1:57 am

Dianne

When I looked up the ha7 word the def was an adjetive for a biblical passage.

1:57 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! how are you, did that flu get the best of you?

1:57 am

Cat9x

Hi Fran!

1:58 am

FranMag

hi cat!

1:58 am

sprite

Still coughing a bit, and still tired, but for the rest I beat the darn virus dead, I believe :)

1:58 am

FranMag

glad you're feeling better!

1:59 am

FranMag

ever since i read IT by Stephen King i don't much like clowns, so i found clown fish

1:59 am

sprite

And how are you doing, Fran?

1:59 am

mab

clown fish! that's so clever, franmag!

1:59 am

Cat9x

Great icon Fran!

1:59 am

FranMag

i've been staying up late babbling and not getting much sleep, other than that everything is great!

1:59 am

FranMag

thanks mab, cat!

2:00 am

Cat9x

2:00 am

Cat9x

2:05 am

2:05 am

Cat9x

2:07 am

Cat9x

2:07 am

mab

I have to say, cat, your clown? doesn't scare me.

2:07 am

Cat9x

lol, true sprite

2:09 am

Cat9x

He is a very non threatening clown isn't he? :)

2:09 am

sprite

He is sweet!

2:09 am

mab

he's adorable :D and he doesn't look annoyed at all.

2:10 am

Cat9x

I wondered, when I found that photo, how well my cat's would react if I made them dress up like that. Not well at all I fear :)

2:12 am

Cat9x

Thanks sprite!

2:12 am

mab

i know my two would have none of it

2:13 am

sprite

My cat would find very clear methods of telling me he wasn't having any of it.

2:13 am

aleksia

hey everyone

2:14 am

Cat9x

I did try once dressing my Nikki, a Maine Coon in a Harley jacker and hat, he was soooo cute! Kept the hat on all of about 15 seconds. Started flipping out till I took the jacket off lol

2:16 am

mab

Cat - did you put that jacket on the cat again?

2:16 am

2:19 am

mab

i'm not fond of clowns either, although I have a soft spot for Cat's.

2:19 am

Cat9x

awww :) Thanks Mab!

2:19 am

sprite

Yeah, I make an exception for Cat's as well :)

hi aleksia

amandacath

What is it about clowns? Anybody know why there's such a widespread phobia about a thing that is actually supposed to entertain you?

2:21 am

sprite

Clowns make me thoroughly sad. Always have done so too.

2:21 am

Cat9x

Could be the movies that portray clowns in a bad light, plus here in the US everytime I see a man dressed as a clown, I think of John Wayne Gacey

2:22 am

mab

one never knows who's beneath that paint and spongy nose.

2:22 am

Cat9x

Exactly Mab

2:22 am

amandacath

that must be it, mab

2:23 am

sprite

If I want to get really depressed, I must go to the circus. Clowns to make me sad and then all the animals, used as entertainment...

2:23 am

Cat9x

I agree Sprite, I will not go to a circus for the latter reason.

2:24 am

mab

i agree

2:24 am

amandacath

Ok, sorry I asked - Let'schange the subject! This is getting depressing! :)

2:24 am

Atalante

KITTENS!

2:24 am

Cat9x

lol, I was just thinking the same thing

2:25 am

sprite

As a child, my parents took me to the circus and I cried the whole time, LOL. I also don't like hard noise, so it was bad!

2:25 am

mab

baby chicks

2:25 am

Love kittens! Purry little bundles of love!

2:25 am

Atalante

Darth should be allowed!!!!!

2:26 am

Atalante

My kit is sitting right by my laptop, purring at me, and Hobbit is lying on my feet. Pefect!

2:26 am

sprite

May the Force be with you. I agree!

2:26 am

mab

i'm very sensitive to sound as well, sprite.

2:26 am

Cat9x

awwww :) One of mine just threw up a hairball. Ahhh, the joys of kittys! :)

2:26 am

amandacath

...and radia, which I'm so convinced is a word that I've tried it a dozen times already

2:27 am

mab

i crave getting a kitten.

2:27 am

sprite

Okay, now I don't know the word in english, but here is something I love too: when you make soapy water and blow bubbles from it. Always puts a smile on my face. And I AM grown up, they say.

2:27 am

Atalante

mine hasn't ever had a hairball yet!

2:27 am

Cat9x

I too have tried radia at least half a dozen times

2:27 am

2:32 am

sprite

Congrats, helenary :)

2:32 am

Cat9x

2:34 am

helenary

2:35 am

helenary

thanks all

2:36 am

sprite

It is in infoplease, helenary. It means a traditional account of things said or done by Muhammad or his companions, or the whole body of those accounts.

2:37 am

helenary

infoplease?? I must look into that one too. Thanks again

2:53 am

amandacath

I was afraid of that *wakes up the monkeys*

2:53 am

Atalante

one of them is a real word, haven't got the other yet

2:54 am

Cat9x

there is a je4/9 and a jo5/22

2:54 am

Atalante

a *normal* jo5/22 or a weirdo one?

2:55 am

Cat9x

it's odd to me

2:56 am

Atalante

oh great lol

2:57 am

Cat9x

lol, holler if you want a clue :)

2:58 am

Atalante

when it starts to really irritate me, I will!

3:08 am

Cat9x

Ata! That is sooo funny!!!! Thank you for sharing :)

3:08 am

Cat9x

half and half, Haz. I am on the pain half.

3:09 am

good morning everybody:)

3:13 am

Maddie26

nite cat!

3:13 am

amandacath

Bye Cat, Hi jean!

3:14 am

Haz1558

Maddie - so far it's a bit like yesterday's grid with lots of individual words and not much opportunity to develop sequences. I've not long started.

3:14 am

amandacath

Maddie - little arrows you throw at a round board

3:16 am

Atalante

oops night Cat!

3:18 am

KittyVane

Morning everyone! :)

3:18 am

Haz1558

Maddie - by experimenting with endings you should be able to find quite a few ha4 words.

3:18 am

amandacath

Hi Kitty!

3:18 am

Haz1558

Good morning kittyvane!

3:18 am

jean1953

morning kittyvane

3:19 am

KittyVane

Is it a nice grid today?
I didn't get very far with yesterday's gird.

3:20 am

amandacath

It bears a strikingly frightening resemblance to yesterday's Kitty...

3:21 am

Haz1558

Separated at birth, I would say.

3:21 am

KittyVane

oh dear... well I best just get on with it then if I want to get anywhere today.

3:21 am

Dianne

Haz - have you remembered any more stories?

3:23 am

amandacath

Are there any long words? So far I've got a couple of 6's, but that's it...

3:23 am

KittyVane

There's one 7 letter one and one 8 letter one

3:24 am

amandacath

Oh dear - do either of them have to do with blood?

3:24 am

Dianne

there is an ha7/48 and a tr8/55.

3:25 am

periwinkle

May I have a clue for the ha7 and tr8 please

3:26 am

Dianne

ha7 is related to a Passover book and sa has something to do with a foot/lever (I don't even understand the dictionary def of this word).

3:28 am

Haz1558

Dianne - I'll think of some stories and put them on Babanon, if that's okay.

3:28 am

periwinkle

Dianne, I know the word for Passover book but this must be an alternate spelling cause I can't figure it out

3:29 am

Dianne

Great Haz - I was chuckling last evening thinking about the farmer/auntie/goat/bucket one :)

3:30 am

Dianne

maybe I should have said "relating to".........

3:31 am

periwinkle

Dianne, that made a difference, thanks, found it

3:34 am

amandacath

Aha! found the tr8 - think poetry

3:39 am

FranMag

amandacath, thanks, i was trying to make that word (not the adjective) so when you said poetry i found it right away!!

3:41 am

periwinkle

the poetry clue is not helping me with the tr8 :(

3:41 am

amandacath

as nasty as this grid is, at least it gives us coffee

3:42 am

FranMag

peri, it's relating to a type of meter in poetry, like iambic would be another one

3:44 am

periwinkle

Fran, I figured as much but still can't find it, will keep looking, thanks

3:44 am

Dianne

peri - for the last 5 letters think of a what you would call a gold, linked necklace but put a different letter at the end.

3:45 am

FranMag

peri, it pretty winds through the whole grid

3:45 am

FranMag

i mean 'pretty much' winds through the whole grid

3:48 am

periwinkle

does it end in "c"

3:48 am

FranMag

yes peri

3:49 am

amandacath

peri - words that are not used any more are ar***** - the tr8 has the same ending

3:53 am

periwinkle

thanks for all the help, finally found that tr8, poetry is not my forte

3:53 am

Atalante

franmag! woot! we both have fishy clowns :)

3:54 am

FranMag

oooh, i didn't look at your bigger pic, i thought you had colorful candies!! :-)

3:54 am

FranMag

nice fishy clowns atalante!

3:54 am

Atalante

no no no fishies!

3:55 am

Jemma444

Hello everyone, how many words are there today?

3:55 am

FranMag

i was going to get a human clown, but i remembered the clown from It and decided they creeped me out!!

3:55 am

FranMag

115 jemma

3:56 am

Atalante

I hate them! *shudder*

3:56 am

Jemma444

thanks, so i'm guessing its a pretty challenging puzzle

3:56 am

periwinkle

I am finding this grid harder than yesterdays

3:57 am

FranMag

how can gordita not be a word!!!

3:57 am

Haz1558

That's a kind way of putting it. Good evening Jemma.

3:58 am

Jemma444

Hey Haz, how you doing today!!!!!you are getting good at remembering!!(-: LOL

3:58 am

Haz1558

I'm quite well, but this grid is hard!

3:58 am

amandacath

2 hours - 67 words...."challenging" it most certainly is!

3:59 am

dinoshadow

I wish it were evening here. Daughter is awake teething and having an allergy attack, so no sleep for me. Been up since 1am and it's now 3 :(

3:59 am

Jemma444

Haz, do you think it is harder than yesterdays??

4:00 am

Jemma444

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!

4:00 am

FranMag

sorry dino!! i hate when you can't comfort them.

4:00 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think it definitely is. I quite enjoyed yesterday's because there were words I knew. Here I'm running out of ideas.

4:00 am

dinoshadow

Oh, she is up and happy - after fighting with the tylenol and benedryl. You would think it would put her to sleep

4:01 am

Atalante

yes its harder than yesterday's!!

4:02 am

Dianne

Did anyone get a ce5/12? Has this ever been in this game before?

4:02 am

FranMag

i was able to get more than half yesterday with no help and today i'm barely at half with help!

4:03 am

periwinkle

up to 50 words, time for a break, bbl

4:03 am

FranMag

later peri!

4:03 am

FranMag

don't have it yet dianne

4:04 am

Jemma444

c you for now periwinkle!!bye the way, love your name!!

4:04 am

Haz1558

Dianne - I've got a ce5/12 - the word is familiar by sight, possibly by trawling through word lists. Do you need a clue?

4:04 am

FranMag

just got it dianne, i think it was on a grid 3 weeks ago

4:05 am

Jemma444

Haz, could you give me a clue for that word please?

4:05 am

dinoshadow

OK, she is finally rubbing her eyes

4:05 am

dinoshadow

later

4:05 am

Haz1558

A freeman of the lowest class in Saxon England. ce plus a two letter 'alternative' word plus the letter that begins letter.

4:05 am

FranMag

night dino!

4:06 am

Dianne

Haz - I got the word but it just wasn't a familiar one. I don't think I've seen it here before.

4:06 am

Jemma444

HUH!!i don't understand!

4:07 am

Dianne

Fran - you have a good memory - must have been one I didn't finish then.

4:07 am

JMann

Thanks Haz for the clue, took a moment, but I got it.

4:08 am

JMann

Jemma - try CE + Either/** + the first letter of the word letter

4:08 am

Haz1558

Jemma - I gave the definition of the word first. Then I gave a breakdown of how it is built up. ce. then add a two letter word that is used to suggest an alternative to something. Then a letter - it is used to begin Letter. Take it step by step.

4:08 am

kkiln

This looks like an impossible grid...most of the words might be ar*****.

4:08 am

Atalante

yup, it was definitely on a recent grid

4:08 am

FranMag

i remember the definition dianne, but got it just now by using your length and points. i probably won't forget it again!!

4:09 am

Dianne

Unlike you Fran - I will forget it almost immediately - I'll still have to search for it the next time it is in a grid:)

4:11 am

FranMag

i tend to remember useless information, like weird babble words, the phone number of the guy i had a crush on in high school, that kind of thing!! :-)

4:12 am

Jemma444

roma should be allowed!!!!

4:13 am

mrpresident

Hello everyone!!

4:13 am

Jemma444

Bye jemma - did you get the fragrant word?

4:15 am

mrpresident

am rather well thanks! lickety is in awe of your lovely email!!

4:16 am

Haz1558

In awe? Goodness, I was just thanking him for all his hard work. It'll be really appreciated today as this grid is a killer.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I am moving at the speed of a slug.

4:17 am

mrpresident

Looks like a sucker punch to me!!

4:21 am

KittyVane

I'm really not liking this grid... I've only found 36 words so far and I'm already thinking of going to the list for help

4:21 am

amandacath

how many i's and o's, please?

4:21 am

FranMag

no i's amandacath

4:21 am

FranMag

5 o's

4:22 am

amandacath

Wow - I actually have all the o's! I think that's a first! Thanks, Fran. Any e's, while I'm at it?

4:23 am

FranMag

No Es amandacath

4:23 am

Haz1558

I have got the 2 j words, so why do I keep wanting to enter joga?

4:24 am

FranMag

haz, would that be an exercise combining running and meditation?

4:25 am

amandacath

Same here, Haz. Are there more than 2 words from the top-left c?

4:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think so. I don't think you could run contorted, so it would have to be running with meditation or contorted and bouncing.

4:25 am

FranMag

there are 4 amanda

4:25 am

JGalloway

there is 4 words amandacath

4:26 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

Fire away FranMag! And good evening lickety, we're a frazzled cast of thousands.

4:28 am

amandacath

one of the shows up quite often - sounds like golf helper. Another is a team of zealots (at least that's what the dic says...)

4:28 am

FranMag

one is a 4/6 which is short for a fancy car

4:28 am

Atalante

I've got 3 too so hopefully we can clue the lot between us

4:28 am

Kallia

I have 3 of those c's too...maybe between us we have them all

4:28 am

FranMag

one is an anagram of that one

4:29 am

Atalante

one is italian goodbye

4:29 am

Haz1558

Got the golf one now, - the team of zealots sound as though they would be big into joga.

4:29 am

Kallia

4:29 am

FranMag

and a 5/14 a military group

4:29 am

amandacath

4:31 am

licketySplitAUS

4:31 am

Kallia

4:31 am

Haz1558

I didn't think Australian men would shy from a challenge......

4:32 am

FranMag

ooh, didn't have hello, thanks!!

4:32 am

Dianne

*Haz is working him*

4:32 am

amandacath

4:33 am

FranMag

4:33 am

Haz1558

4:34 am

amandacath

I have definitely hit my wall at 89 - guess I'm going to have to go to the list after all...

4:34 am

Kallia

anyone got the 8 or 7?

4:35 am

licketySplitAUS

amanda - I've hit my wall almost - and I've got 10 ;-)

4:35 am

amandacath

tr8 - think poetry

4:35 am

Haz1558

And when you get the list, don't forget to throw some words our way, amandacath.

4:35 am

FranMag

kallia, tr8 relates to a type of poetic meter

4:35 am

Kallia

ah ty :)

4:36 am

FranMag

the ha7 relates to a book read at passover

4:36 am

Dianne

come on lickety don't be a dr5/14 queen.

4:37 am

licketySplitAUS

ok ok, now 15

4:37 am

amandacath

yay dianne - was missing that one

4:37 am

licketySplitAUS

feel like I'm dr5/14 ing the line though!

4:37 am

FranMag

hee, hee, dianne, i read 'don't be a dr4/7 queen!'

4:38 am

Dianne

I thought you were a real ga5/16.

4:38 am

Dianne

Fran - I wouldn't know about that...........

4:38 am

licketySplitAUS

I can't even get my references right either!

4:38 am

licketySplitAUS

Ah Dianne - I got it!

4:38 am

licketySplitAUS

First 5 letter!

4:39 am

Atalante

cant believe there's 9 6s!

4:40 am

dinoshadow

I have 2 of them

4:40 am

Dianne

lickety - what about a bevy of beauties - ha5/14.

4:40 am

FranMag

it doesn't look like there would be many plurals either

4:40 am

FranMag

if any at all

4:41 am

CJ25

Ae4 clue?

4:42 am

FranMag

prefix for things that go in the air

4:42 am

licketySplitAUS

I've grown nimble hairy fingers that enjoy banana peeling!

4:42 am

Haz1558

I have 2 6 letter words as well. Remind me why we're doing this - we get a big cash prize at the end of the day, right? Or the chance to win an all expenses trip to the destination of our choice?

4:42 am

Atalante

2 6s too ....

4:43 am

FranMag

haz, you haven't gotten the gift certificates that were sent out?? ;-)

4:43 am

dinoshadow

I have the dh* and the body part

4:43 am

FranMag

i only have 2 6s myself

4:43 am

Dianne

We're nuts that's why? The only reason I can think of that makes any sense.

4:43 am

amandacath

I think I've got 2 lousy plurals - s-plurals I mean. 2 s's and they're almost completely useless!

4:43 am

Atalante

I have a Muslim head covering

4:43 am

Haz1558

Gift certificates? I must not have ticked the right boxes.

4:44 am

licketySplitAUS

or typed in the wrong ones ;-)

4:44 am

FranMag

i have one 6 that looks almost like a cheese

4:44 am

licketySplitAUS

Haz - didn't mean to sound rude ;-)

4:44 am

dinoshadow

ok, daughter asleep - after 2+ hrs - gonna try to put her in her crib and go back to bed

4:44 am

4:50 am

5:01 am

FranMag

Looking up world cities in my crossword dictionary...

Haz1558

Wife of Mr Bunker - can't remember the name of the series. Same name as Miss Durham from the Seekers or Mrs Keppel who won Millionaire for the first time.

5:05 am

carrie5752

Hi all, American in England has no idea what c6 is canned meat. Any help?? All I can think of is spam.

5:05 am

Atalante

oh! thanks Haz - recognise the Keppel one :)

5:05 am

FranMag

carri, it's the manufacturer of spam, the CO6 rhymes with it

5:06 am

carrie5752

Oh. Think I got it. It's kind of like the chewy amber colored sweet with a different vowel, right?

5:07 am

FranMag

there you go carrie.

5:07 am

Dianne

amanda - think of someone speaking with a street-wise accent telling a story about his girlfriend's father's wife.......play with that a bit.

5:07 am

amandacath

got the other ha6 - thx fran!

5:07 am

Haz1558

There's an ha6/24 - extend the concubines' living quarters .

5:07 am

FranMag

yw amanda! now if i could find the other 3 6s...

5:09 am

FranMag

got it haz, thanks!

5:10 am

FranMag

it's also concubine's living quarters

5:10 am

Haz1558

You're welcome! I suppose they just keep adding a vowel as more arrive. Flexible living in all senses.

5:10 am

amandacath

Let's see what I've got in the way of 6's: the scarf thingy, the spam guys, Greg's wife, the two ha's, the body part - then there's a da6 - smaller version of the thing you throw at a round board?

5:11 am

amandacath

...3 ha's...

5:11 am

Atalante

dh6/27

5:12 am

amandacath

so I'm still missing one 6...

5:12 am

FranMag

i'm also missing one

5:12 am

Haz1558

My brain's beginning to go missing.

5:13 am

amandacath

it must be out with mine, Haz

5:15 am

Dianne

the 6's: ch, co, da, dh, ha x3, th and tr.

5:15 am

Haz1558

Maybe a rest would be a good idea. I could take the dog for a walk, plant up my hanging baskets, and by that time the brain might have come back. I'll be back later. Those gift certificates are going to be mine.

5:15 am

Atalante

and mine ... missing this concubine thing and a tr ... *ponders*

5:16 am

amandacath

ok, so it's the tr that's hiding....

5:16 am

Atalante

got it! the tr!

5:16 am

FranMag

found the tr!!

5:16 am

amandacath

trade you the concubines for the tr

5:16 am

mrpresident

what gift certificate!

5:16 am

Atalante

lol its a squished together version of Travis Fimmel

5:17 am

Haz1558

Apparently FranMag gets gift certificates as an incentive for finishing babble. I have now put my name down with Dr_God.

5:17 am

pam

to quote peri--it's a stupidhead word!!!!!!

5:17 am

amandacath

ok, the concubines one sounds like it could be the first name of a basketball player....(and who's travis fimmel?)

5:18 am

Atalante

lol Travis Fimmel is a Calvin Klein model (I think its CK anyway) but he pops up as an object of adoration in one of my fav series of books

5:18 am

Atalante

basketball player!!! English clue please! *giggles*

5:18 am

mrpresident

Who give the gift certificates?? I haven't heard of this??

5:19 am

amandacath

*giggles back* - take the bevy of beautiful ladies and stick another vowel in there

5:19 am

Atalante

I've been trying! Now which combination haven't I tried 5 times already?

5:20 am

Haz1558

It's just a joke, mrp. I was despairingly asking why we were doing this - was there to be a great reward at the end - FranMag joked that she got gift certicates.

5:20 am

FranMag

i was joking with haz and asking her if she hadn't been receiving the gift certificates...there really aren't any

5:20 am

Haz1558

But it's a nice thought, isn't it?

5:20 am

FranMag

towards the end atalante

5:20 am

mrpresident

too funny! rewards for finishing babble!! sprite would be in certificate heaven!!

5:20 am

amandacath

maybe the double vowel one, Ata?

5:20 am

Atalante

ah. *that* combination. grrrr

5:21 am

FranMag

okay, time for the list, all the words are 4s and 5s

5:22 am

mickie12

Haz1558

Right, off I go. Thanks for the company through this nasty grid.

5:23 am

FranMag

5:24 am

FranMag

mickie, it relates to poetic meters

5:27 am

Atalante

I'll be lucky if I get through this listless! I thought yesterdya was bad enough!

5:32 am

FranMag

5:33 am

mickie12

Atalante

5:37 am

JGalloway

5:38 am

FranMag

it's a tr8/55 and has to do with poetic meters

5:39 am

JGalloway

any other clues for the 8-letter word because i dont get the clue that FranMag gave me!? (sorry Fran mag!!)

5:42 am

Dianne

think of a 4 letter word that means to toss a ball. Drop the last letter. Then think of a 5 letter word that is a metal thing made of links (also used on a bike) but change the last letter to a c.

5:42 am

amandacath

urghhh - there are two am5/12's that don't want me to find them - anybody?

Dianne

I have one of them but I am searching for the 2nd one.

5:43 am

Atalante

Atalante

5:50 am

KittyVane

I just got that word too, even though I thought it wouldn't take

5:50 am

Dianne

Well when you click on the ? next to it the def is just what we all think it means.

5:51 am

FranMag

i say that too dianne, but sometimes dictionary.com doesn't find the actual enable def

5:51 am

amandacath

The n-word has been in the grid too, as has yids - makes you want to wash your fingers, doesn't it?

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

yes!!!!

5:52 am

FranMag

i mean, i 'saw' that too dianner

6:07 am

Jacula

th5/14 - t + damage or hurt.

6:08 am

6:08 am

Tweetyoz

6:10 am

mrpresident

My reply to greywoulf got deleted on BabAnon...

Jacula

Dianne - It isn't defined on the Babble list but it must mean something or I wouldn't have know the word.

6:10 am

Jacula

I'll look it up in a real paper dictionary.

6:10 am

Jacula

Deleted? Reply? Whereabouts?

6:11 am

Dianne

Jac - I found it in my Scrabble dictionary - it means belly.

6:11 am

mrpresident

I have posted yet another reply asking why?? I just don't get it??
I replied to greywoulf's list v listless topic and it has gone!! It was there for a while, but now... poof!!

MrP - That's weird!

6:13 am

Jacula

6:13 am

mrpresident

Yes, it is weird... perhaps I will get a reply as to where it has gone and why... hmmmm

6:21 am

mrpresident

nothing out of the topic... stuck to what greywoulf was saying... kept in context and pretty much agreed with him... I have now posted a reply asking why I was deleted...

6:21 am

mrpresident

I have discussed it with several babblers on IM and we had all similar opinions... I did not say anything to get deleted!!

6:22 am

FranMag

that is strange, you'll have to let us know what happened if you get a reply

6:22 am

mrpresident

perhaps freedom of speech is a speech impediment on that site! will wait for the reply from *the powers that be*

6:23 am

Jacula

Sorry for silence. I've been away reading the debate in BabAnon.

6:23 am

JGalloway

6:25 am

Dianne

Jac - is Hustle still on t.v. in the UK?

6:25 am

7:07 am

Merk

ends in a neutral pronoun

7:07 am

Merk

Grace, do you remember how far back?

7:08 am

GraceM

not very far at all...

7:08 am

Atalante

open the chat log and search for ha7 :P

7:09 am

Merk

Thanks Grace. I should have looked down there first.

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

7:09 am

Any clues for the first ha6/27 please

7:10 am

kkiln

Babbledude - AD 4/5 -- think of what you to when you proofread a book, but it begins with the first vowel.

7:11 am

Merk

But I guess I have the incorrect nickname for richard. I can't make it, Grace.

7:11 am

saphyre

think of nixon - tricky ----

7:11 am

Merk

A smoked piece of pork and a woman's name

7:11 am

Merk

But there is no K in the grid

7:12 am

GraceM

merk---first three letters of a book of definitions...

7:12 am

saphyre

which is why my clue said the first part of the nickname

7:12 am

Babbledude

ae4/4 please help

7:12 am

gran

Got that one, it is the first one I am missing

7:12 am

Merk

I guess my problem, then, is the fourth letter of the word.

7:12 am

Kateq

forget richard--try dagwood's boss--Mr. D***ers

7:13 am

GraceM

Kateq... I don't think that works...

7:13 am

saphyre

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

that's for the ha6 not the ha7

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

I'm at 993 this morning and gain only two points a day. My third column has been stuck at 1004 for four days. No change even though I've finished each day. Bummer.

Business? Pleasure?

8:11 am

I worked so hard to get the ha7/48 and then when I went to check the meaning, there was none. Grrrr

8:11 am

saphyre

hi aleksia, and no I'm not watching

8:11 am

Merk

I will be teaching speaking and listening skills to teachers of English.

8:11 am

saphyre

the meaning is in the log about an hour after the flip I think

8:12 am

saphyre

Sounds interesting Merk

8:12 am

Vicuna

Merk, I think it's an alternate spelling of having to do with the book of Exodus

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

ha7 is a portion of the Talmud

8:12 am

Merk

That makes sense.

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

Sounds fascinating, Merk!

8:14 am

Merk

Well one of the 'j's reminded me of one of the kings in the OT. I checked it out and it was. That is a proper noun. It is fascinating, Uneaixoise. This will be my tenth time of doing it.

8:14 am

Uneaixoise

Who sponsors you, Merk?

8:14 am

Merk

ELIC out of San Dimas, California

8:15 am

Uneaixoise

so are you fluent in Chinese?

8:16 am

Merk

No, you don't have to speak Chinese to do it. The teachers that we teach are English teachers. By the end of the first few days, their speaking has really improved.

8:16 am

mattygroves

Any clues for the eight?

8:16 am

godthaab

Ha7 is really a variation of the same word with a double consonant. It pertains to ancient Jewish lore in the nonlegal part of the Talmud.

8:16 am

Uneaixoise

I can imagine . . . so do you live with other American teachers while you're there?

8:17 am

Merk

ha 8 + a wotcj. a vowel + first three letters of a nickname for Richard

8:17 am

mattygroves

Isn't that the seven? What's a wotcj?

8:18 am

Merk

Yes, every time I've gone they have put us up in a hotel, provided all of our meals, etc. take us touring on Saturdays. I've started going in winter, too, so I've seen Harbin's ice sculptures.

8:18 am

Merk

Sorry, it is ha 7. Where's the eight?

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

don't mean to be nosy, Merk--just interested--I taught English for awhile at Berlitz in Paris--nothing like going all the way to China!

8:18 am

saphyre

tr 8

8:18 am

PapaGLP

the 8 is tr

8:19 am

Merk

tr 8 + tr + o + the ending of something outdated.

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

are a lot of the teachers "repeat" participants?

8:19 am

Merk

Oops, too specific. I should have said fourth vowel.

8:19 am

kkiln

saphyre --- I got ag 5/14, but was not able to get the ag 5/16....must be missing something.

9:25 am

abe79

great job Jacula!

9:25 am

hetty

But the word you have above it should be d + exclamation + stick. Is it the da6 you need?OOps! Too late Congrats., Jac!

9:27 am

Jacula

That was a tough grid!

9:27 am

JMann

anyone need any clues before I go off to sleep?

9:28 am

abe79

how about the tr 8?

9:28 am

Jacula

Oh well, teabreak's over. I have to get back to painting the shed and greenhouse with preserver. I'm covered with green streaks! Got as much on myself as on the buildings. :/

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

oh lord - there's a tr8? *pictures jacs with a green face* LOL!

9:29 am

abe79

happy painting jacula!

9:30 am

Jacula

Not just a green face! Green hair, green arms, green feet... need I go on?

9:30 am

JMann

okay, abe, try the ancient city known for it's horse (minus the last letter) + what you put on your bike to make the tires move and then replace the last letter of that to a consonant

9:30 am

Jacula

tr8 relates to a poetical device - A metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, as in season, or of a long syllable followed by a short syllable.

9:31 am

JMann

Hopefully it's a color you're going to like all over you and the shed, Jacula

9:31 am

Jacula

Must go. BYEE.xx

9:34 am

abe79

9:35 am

JMann

the AG 4/6 is the medium used in labs, but the AG 4/7 sounds like the middle eastern ruler - think Rita Hayward married the AG** Khan

9:36 am

JMann

if all else fails, try AG + another word for a laugh

10:13 am

abe79

kkiln, check clue at 9:46

10:14 am

EvaNadine

HA + name of archie bunkers wife (minus first letter)

10:14 am

kkiln

Not the archie bunker one...

10:15 am

EvaNadine

only one i have so far

10:15 am

Bugzy

ha6/27 - like the hotel chain starting with ra, change the first letter

10:15 am

Queenruejean

Someone earlier mentioned the singer Piaf, if that helps better than Bunker's wife.

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

radisson?

10:16 am

Bugzy

No, all the same vowels in it, if that helps...

10:17 am

Bugzy

Starts with a meat from pigs...

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

ha6/24: living quarters reserved for wives and concubines and female relatives in a Muslim household synonym for ha 5/14

10:17 am

Bugzy

(That's the ha, not the ra word that starts with the pig meat)

10:17 am

ch1212

evanadine, your ha 7 clue looked so easy but darned if I can get the grid to accept the old witch + sum totalling (or ad 4/5) ... where am I going wrong?

10:17 am

EvaNadine

heh, reminds me of a joke someone told me over on the iron sudoku board this morning...

10:18 am

EvaNadine

ch -- change that last latter from a cross to a "sea" ;)

10:18 am

abe79

thanks for the ha 6/24 temple owl

10:18 am

ch1212

aaahhh ... thanks, evanadine

10:19 am

KittyVane

Does anyone have a clue for the ha6/27, please?

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

ok: i cannot hink of a hotel chain beginning with ra except radisson and i cannot get anywhere from there..

10:20 am

KittyVane

Since I can't think of anything but Radisson too

10:20 am

ch1212

okay, ha + last four letters of the first name of these famous women: Head, Frost, Piaf, Bunker ...

10:20 am

EvaNadine

ra+"mom"+"dad" inn

10:20 am

ch1212

Wharton ...

10:21 am

EvaNadine

ch -- this is a different HA6 :)

10:21 am

Bugzy

ha6/27 - pig meat + 1st vowel + 4th letter + 1st vowel

10:21 am

KittyVane

Thank you Evandine!

10:21 am

ch1212

ahhhh .... (I seem to be saying that a lot today!)

10:22 am

Queenruejean

Ohhh! THAT hotel chain beginning with RA. D'oh!!

10:22 am

EvaNadine

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

10:23 am

Queenruejean

Thanks Bugzy!

10:23 am

KittyVane

OK, one word to go and them I'm finished with this infernal grid

Hi everyone - I'm new

hi harpjane and ckapoo

10:25 am

ckapoo

I've been kind of ignoring the chat, but I'm stuck

10:25 am

Bugzy

Hi Harp and ckapoo :)

10:25 am

harpjane

welcome cka

10:25 am

ch1212

hi harpjane -- welcome ckapoo

10:25 am

ckapoo

Thanks - friendly group you all are

10:26 am

ckapoo

:)

10:26 am

Bugzy

I think we're all stuck today, cka :)

10:26 am

SarahBellum

hi, new folks

10:26 am

KittyVane

Hello to the new folks!

10:27 am

ckapoo

Stuck on the 8 word

10:27 am

KittyVane

It's a sticky grid today

10:28 am

ckapoo

I know it has something to do with poetry

10:28 am

ch1212

tr 8 -- first 3 letters of Helen's city + first 3 letters of dance that has the same 3 letters repeated 3 times + 3rd vowel + 3rd letter

10:28 am

ch1212

boy, lots of 3's...

10:29 am

EvaNadine

TR + hoop + anding meaning really, really old

10:29 am

ch1212

Well, evanadine's clue is much simpler and more elegant :)

10:30 am

ckapoo

Thanks to you both! That was really driving me batty!

10:31 am

Angelsong

ha7?

10:31 am

EvaNadine

no worries ch -- i stole it from someone else earlier...heh

10:31 am

ch1212

Believe me, ckapoo, there will come plenty of opportunities for you to clue us! :) welcome aboard.

10:31 am

KittyVane

Woo-hoo! Stick a fork in me, I'm done! :D

10:31 am

ch1212

Meow for you kittyvane!

10:31 am

abe79

congrats kittyvane!

10:32 am

Bugzy

Yay for kitty :)

10:32 am

ckapoo

Awesome! I can't imagine actually finishing one of these. I have a long way to go...

10:32 am

KittyVane

It's been a long while since I actually fininshed a grid and I really didn't think I'd finish today

10:32 am

ckapoo

Something to aspire to. :D

10:34 am

KittyVane

Don't worry Ckapoo, this is only about the 4th gird I've finished, and I've been playing for a while now.

10:36 am

EvaNadine

this is a fairly small grid today, but its a tough one...
most days, i dont even try to finish, i just like to play :)

10:36 am

Angelsong

ha7, please? I found the six following it, but that one has me flummoxed

10:36 am

KittyVane

One of the very first babblets I learned is in this grid (the ch4/7)

10:37 am

ch1212

angel, the one that worked for me was old witch + the ad 4/5, except change the last letter

10:38 am

EvaNadine

a witch is an old *** + 1st vowel + nickname for richard, minus the lst letter

10:38 am

KittyVane

ha7= old witch+a+the first letters of short for Richard

10:38 am

Angelsong

thanks, ch!

10:39 am

KittyVane

heh, ch and evandine got there before me
that is a good clue though :)

10:41 am

Good evening Jean :)

10:44 am

CadFan

Hi Firefly and PapaGLP :)

10:50 am

KittyVane

I didn't find a good clown picture, so I'm using my default Batgirl one

10:51 am

abe79

firefly, my mother is terrified of the clown in your icon. the clown in mine is named clownie, and he's one of my oldest "friends"

10:51 am

CadFan

ugh... love the movie but firefly that icon is creepy

10:53 am

ch1212

abe I wondered if that was a pic of you ... you are going to be a stunningly beautiful bride! Promise you'll post your photos from the wedding

10:53 am

firefly779

that was the point CadFan! lol I've been waiting all week to show him off - I was hoping no one else had him

10:54 am

CadFan

Truly - one of my favorite movies (and books!)

10:54 am

firefly779

mine too CadFan

10:54 am

abe79

aw, thanks ch! that's very nice! i will post wedding photos, once i plan and execute the wedding! lol

10:54 am

CadFan

We all float....

10:55 am

firefly779

Beep Beep Richie!

10:55 am

ch1212

ah yes, the planning! My daughter and her fiance took about 18 months, and enlisted everyone's help. And everyone was smart enough to remember that it's THEIR wedding, so no problems, just lots of love and fun. ... and work. :)

10:56 am

CadFan

He thrusts his fists against the post

10:57 am

Bugzy

...and still insists he sees the ghosts! :)

10:57 am

abe79

we were planning about the same, 18 mos or so. i love it when everyone pulls together and cooperates for important events

10:57 am

Bugzy

Ive read that book about 10 times -- deathly afraid of clowns now, tho.

10:57 am

ch1212

Absolutely -- it makes the actual celebration truly joyous, and everyone kind of 'owns' a moment along with the bride and groom.

10:58 am

Bugzy

WHich is why I'm glad I'm still seeing Mr. Krab as firefly's icon...

10:58 am

abe79

bugzy, i should not have refreshed my page....

10:58 am

ch1212

okay bugzy, cadfan and firefly --- I feel like I've missed out on an important literary piece of the world. What book/movie are you talking about?

10:58 am

firefly779

Stephen King's IT

10:58 am

pabtrek

first co5/14

10:59 am

firefly779

it explains my icon

10:59 am

CadFan

I'm just creeped by THAT clown. We are discussing 'It" by Stephen King. Not certain it's an "important literary piece" by eveyrone's definition - but certainly an enjoyable one by many's

10:59 am

jean1953

bye everyone am off to work have a good day:)

10:59 am

firefly779

bye jean, have a good day to you to!

10:59 am

pabtrek

nevermind, monkey typed it.

10:59 am

ch1212

OH. THAT one. Yes, I read it, and I blocked it out of my memory. TERRIFIED! King is a master at that.

10:59 am

ch1212

bye jean.

10:59 am

abe79

my mother once had a dr5/14 that he ate my brother and me...

11:00 am

abe79

bye jean

11:00 am

Bugzy

My neighbor does a haunted house in his garage every year on Halloween. This year he had a creepy clown in it that gave me nightmares for weeks. Still mad at him for not warning me about it....

11:00 am

firefly779

strangely enough, it's the one book of his i don't have in my collection

11:00 am

Bugzy

See ya jean :)

11:01 am

firefly779

oh Bugz, sorry! frankly, i don't like clowns either, but...

11:01 am

pabtrek

how about mo5/16 and the following mo4/6

11:01 am

monkeeboi

mo 5/16 think starbucks

11:02 am

Bugzy

It's OK firefly, I'm seeing Mr Krab as your icon so it's all good :)

11:02 am

firefly779

a fitting icon monkeeboi!

11:03 am

pabtrek

thanks monkeeboi

11:03 am

monkeeboi

it hasn't refreshed for me, what do you see?

11:03 am

ch1212

I love most of King's works, but tend to the older classics -- Carrie, Children of the Corn, Needful THings, Pet Sematary.. The clown one was the only one I really, really tried to forget (shudders)

11:03 am

firefly779

a clown with a monkey

11:03 am

monkeeboi

fantabulous

11:03 am

pabtrek

that did it for me

11:04 am

firefly779

ch1212, i like a lot of the classics, mostly from movie form, but his newer literary works are pretty good, like Hearts in Atlantis (the movie was bunk) or From a Buick 8

11:04 am

Angelsong

the fives are killing me today...ra5/12?

11:05 am

ch1212

angel, male sheep + double vowel

11:05 am

Bugzy

ra5/12 - sheep + double vowel

11:06 am

Angelsong

fireworks, finally. what a pain this grid was! thanks for the help, all.

11:06 am

Bugzy

I think the most current King book I read was the one about the kid who gets lost in the woods. It was OK... He lost me during the Dark Tower/ other series books...

11:06 am

firefly779

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon?

11:06 am

Bugzy

Yay for angelsong !

11:06 am

abe79

yay angelsong

11:06 am

Congrats Angelson!

11:06 am

11:07 am

firefly779

ugh, Angelsong

11:07 am

ch1212

A showering of hurrahs for Angelsong!

11:07 am

ch1212

or should that be a fluttering of wings ... :)

11:07 am

firefly779

yeah, i'm struggling with the Dark Tower series myself, but the books that just touch on it, like Hearts in Atlantis were fun

11:09 am

mattygroves

Hard day it's been (that' my YODA impression) - any clues for the eight?

11:28 am

mattygroves

Testing?

11:29 am

caitlyn

Hi matty im trying to think of a way to clue it

11:30 am

abe79

a type poetic meter...

11:30 am

kkiln

don't get it monkeeboi

11:31 am

kkiln

mo 4/6 is to make fun of someone without the last letter.

11:32 am

caitlyn

tr + 4th vowel +something in links remove last letter and add 3rd letter

11:33 am

caitlyn

That sounds really confusing!!

11:33 am

abe79

that's a great clue caitlyn

11:34 am

mattygroves

11:40 am

Atalante

I refuse to have a scary clown freak thing!

11:41 am

caitlyn

Atlante mine isnt scary!!

11:41 am

firefly779

i'm finding a lot of people are anti-clown...but that doesn't deter me one bit!

11:42 am

abe79

mine isn't scary either

11:43 am

Atalante

*refreshes adn checks* I agree with you both :) but yours is freaky, Firefly (no offense!!)

11:43 am

oldhousejunky

any hints for ha 6/27 - the first one??

11:43 am

mattygroves

Only 31 words got today (though admittedly without much time to play) - and I'm off home. My icon isn't scary! AND I got the dragons in...

11:43 am

firefly779

none taken Ata

11:44 am

Atalante

has anyone got a clue for the co5/16 mentioned before?

11:44 am

abe79

ha + archie bunker's wife (minus a letter)

11:45 am

mattygroves

Miranda (Kay?)- Does Jim Aton still teach there? He really was a favorite of mine (and not just because he was incredibly good looking). And S.S. as well. I tried to like David Lee, but found him rather cold,particularly for a poet. I don't believe I ever had a class from you, oddly enough. To bad for me.

2:07 pm

BryanC

thanks muse i'll work with that

2:07 pm

mymuseisme

it does work on a diagonal

2:08 pm

ha7 begins with an old ha* (witch) and then adds an ** (which we see a lot of, oposite of subtract) and ends with adj. ending --eg romant**

I'd like a big one with lots of good suffixes and endings....those are fun...

10:10 pm

lbdawger

may i have a clue for the last ha6?

10:10 pm

helenkeller

smith - a pretty clown ! :)

10:11 pm

firefly779

do you know the identity of my clown libarebel? you can tell helenkeller...

10:11 pm

hetty

the laqst ha6 was clued earlier as rhyming ith a famous hotel chain, changing the firstletter from "R" to"h"

10:11 pm

libarebel

is it pennywise?

10:11 pm

helenkeller

helen does not really want to know about fire's clown

10:11 pm

ronnielee

CA 5/14

10:11 pm

helenkeller

nope, want to know nothing at all - would rather have a peaceful night's sleep :)

10:11 pm

firefly779

YESSSSS that's him, from Stephen King's IT

10:12 pm

firefly779

sorry helen

10:12 pm

FranMag

no you don't helen! i couldn't sleep after reading that book, in my mind the clown looked even worse though!

10:12 pm

libarebel

I only read the book, but thought so (shudder)

10:12 pm

hetty

ca5/14 is like the french for corpse with the "av" taken out

10:12 pm

helenkeller

only stephen king book & movie i've ever seen/read is firestarter - that was good, but that was enough!

10:13 pm

lbdawger

thanks Hetty, but i'm still clueless

10:13 pm

firefly779

good guess then libarebel!

10:13 pm

helenkeller

don't know nothing else about stephen king & don't wanna know!

10:13 pm

FranMag

ronnielee, ca5/14 is a military group

10:13 pm

LeslieAnn

fran clued at 10:06, lbdawger

10:13 pm

libarebel

s. king is a very visual writer :-0

10:13 pm

firefly779

firestarter was very neat helenkeller, and he's actually written some other very interesting tales, not all of which are quite so frightening

10:13 pm

hetty

or you can take the word for an army priest and change his "p" to a "c"

10:14 pm

helenkeller

the last ha 6 is the next ha5 with another vowel inside of it

10:14 pm

FranMag

firefly, what was the one about the author and the fan?

10:15 pm

LeslieAnn

misery

10:15 pm

helenkeller

yeah, right, firefly - that's what they told me about alien - oh, you'll like it, it's not scary, it's suspenseful - YEAH RIGHT - made my pomeranian come with me to the basement for the next 3 months!!!!!

10:15 pm

firefly779

yep, Misery

10:15 pm

helenkeller

and don't even mention silence of the lambs -

10:15 pm

FranMag

oooh, those aliens better watch their ankles!! ;-)

10:15 pm

LeslieAnn

hmm, i think my comment got lost. i said it was misery

10:15 pm

libarebel

alien made me faint at the movies!

10:16 pm

FranMag

loved Misery, but couldn't sleep after reading that one either!!

10:16 pm

helenkeller

i should have done what i did when i saw the exorcist - spend the whole movie in the lobby with a handful of others while my friends watched it!

10:16 pm

libarebel

so claustrophobic!

10:16 pm

firefly779

no seriously helen, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was not a scary book, nor was From a Buick 8

10:16 pm

ronnielee

helenkeller

ok - i stand corrected - i did see misery - but i would never, ever read another book of his, ever

10:17 pm

hetty

It's a ruddy awful clown is all can say. Look at helen's for an antidote

10:17 pm

libarebel

bozo--good

10:17 pm

helenkeller

hahahahaha hetty

10:17 pm

Cat9x

co5/14, what you wear when cold plus a vowel

10:18 pm

libarebel

pennywise--bad

10:18 pm

smithchick

Cat, you're icon looks somewhat chagrined...

10:18 pm

FranMag

actually when i read IT, i picture a much more awful pennywise, when the movie came out i was actually relieved!

10:18 pm

helenkeller

lol - yes - bozo good - that's why i picked him (it was either him or emo philips)

10:18 pm

Cat9x

co5/14, add a consonant onto the end of co4/6, easy ****, easy go

10:18 pm

firefly779

lol Fran - i had a hard time slogging through the book, and found the movie much easier to get through

10:19 pm

Cat9x

Yes he does smithchick, he hates clowns LOL

10:19 pm

FranMag

smith, your clown reminds me of this girl that worked as a clown in Guam, on her off nights she hit the sauce quite hard

10:19 pm

libarebel

lol, helen :oD

10:19 pm

smithchick

LOL, Fran!

10:19 pm

helenkeller

what's wrong with you guys that you subject yourself to that stuff - being scared is nowhere near fun for me - i just don't get that

10:19 pm

libarebel

emo ok, tho :)

10:19 pm

FranMag

firefly, the first chapters went really slow and then i finished the whole book in one 4 hour marathon one night!!

10:20 pm

LeslieAnn

me neither, helen. i avoid scary movies at all costs

10:20 pm

firefly779

Stephen King doesn't scare me (much)

10:20 pm

ronnielee

the coat clue with a vowel, I have as 5/12 cat?

10:20 pm

smithchick

I don't like scary movies because my stomach hurts from tensing up when I watch them. I don't do it very often at all.

10:20 pm

firefly779

WOW Fran, that's amazing! it's like a thousand pages

10:20 pm

ronnielee

still missing a CO 5/14

10:20 pm

smithchick

How is it possible that amore isn't a word?

10:20 pm

lbdawger

thank you all for your help. gotta go

10:20 pm

libarebel

I have bad enough dreams w/out scar

10:21 pm

Cat9x

I gave all 3 in clues ronnie

10:21 pm

helenkeller

emo is my degree of separation from most of the world - we used to be friends, but, sadly, lost touch

10:21 pm

FranMag

i know firefly!! i couldn't believe i did it either, it was a school night too! was a mess the next day.

10:21 pm

10:23 pm

FranMag

10:23 pm

libarebel

clowns, mannequins, dolls, anything that perverts the human form are I think scary on a primal level...

10:23 pm

Cat9x

co5/14, add latin plural onto co4/6, when you are in a co**, deep sleep

10:23 pm

libarebel

cowering... w/friends...

10:25 pm

smithchick

I hate it when hubby and I go to the movies and he wants to "share" the popcorn because he isn't very hungry and then he won't keep his grubby paws out of the bucket. Very uncool!

10:26 pm

smithchick

LOL, Cat!

10:26 pm

LeslieAnn

i didn't even know the lake house was set in chicago

10:27 pm

smithchick

Have you seen the commercial where the guy splurges and buys popcorn at the movie, but can't quite bring himself to splurge for a drink? Hubby is almost that bad.

10:27 pm

smithchick

Awesome helen!

11:47 pm

libarebel

11:47 pm

nrkii

the first step to recovery is knowing that you always deserve clues, Minveryork ... like Stuart Smalley ... try a little affirmation to get yourself going

11:48 pm

jaianniah

Minver, this puzzle would scramble anyone's brain- especially since yesterday's was just as bad...

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Yeah, but I'm far from a good Babbler! But thank you for the vote of confidence libarebel and jaianniah!

11:48 pm

libarebel

this puzzle is so difficult-- even easy words are hidden...

11:48 pm

11:51 pm

jaianniah

I don't know why people are so determined to "do it" without the list- it isn't like there's a prize either way!!LOL

11:52 pm

Minveryork

Yes,it was torture for me.But it's even torture even with the Lickety's list,like tonight's grid for example!
