12:12 am

kierlex

what is 'tangle' helenkeller?

12:12 am

helenkeller

a game - tangleword

12:14 am

jillibus

oh dear - tangle? sounds ominously addictive too -- where do we find it?

12:14 am

kierlex

is it like babble?

12:14 am

debbinla

i'm not allowing myself to lok at another game

12:15 am

kierlex

i agree debbinia!

12:15 am

kierlex

i need to go take out my contacts, owww.

12:15 am

helenkeller

yes - very addictive - polar opposite of babble - find as many words as you can in 2 minutes (also have 30 sec & 5 min rooms) at iwin.com

12:16 am

kierlex

ohhh so maybe it wouldn't absorb so much of your time?

12:18 am

kierlex

imagine if i did one sit up each time i entered a babble word. i would be like a godess

12:18 am

debbinla

LOL kier! i should do that tooo!

12:18 am

helenkeller

kier - it's actually worse than this - it's like the slot machine addiction!

jillibus

no tanglge for this tortoise

firefly779

12:23 am

helenkeller

i love your bouquet too - colorful, airy, unusual

12:24 am

273 - icon theme is June Brides

2:34 am

mickie12

cheers matty

2:36 am

Atalante

hi7/36 - like the meds you get for hayfever - those are anti-somethings. take the first few letters and find a likely ending

2:41 am

mattygroves

Nice one (you should be able to pluralise it though!)

2:41 am

Cat9x

I agree Matty

2:41 am

Atalante

I know!

2:42 am

Cat9x

apter

2:42 am

Atalante

Cat9x

2:47 am

Cat9x

there is a go7/36, more "water fowl" LOL What a goofy sounding word.

2:47 am

Cat9x

you're welcome too Ata :)

2:52 am

kierlex

what's the anti**** clue again for hi??

2:53 am

Atalante

hi7/36 - like the meds you get for hayfever - those are anti-somethings. take the first few letters and find a likely ending

2:54 am

Atalante

and you can almost get crebain - that would be a good tolkien word!

2:55 am

kierlex

you'd think you could plular that hi7/36 but nooo

2:56 am

kierlex

i mean plural

2:56 am

4:14 am

Haz1558

5:11 am

amandacath

Hi Mitch, Preethi!

5:11 am

periwinkle

Good Morning Everyone,

Cat9x

Hi FM and Preethi

5:11 am

periwinkle

Preethi

Oops I have to run..

5:12 am

Preethi

5:12 am

FMitch

Haz - love the stories you have put up on babanon, the first one had me in stitches. Do write some more when you have time!

5:13 am

Haz1558

Glad it raised a laugh! I'll do some more when I can.

5:15 am

periwinkle

Hi Cat9x, chinese cabbage? dont know of any that start with pe

5:17 am

amandacath

peri - for the chinese cabbage, try 'very small house animal in japan'

5:17 am

Cat9x

it's an odd word peri, a word for a house animal, plus a ***L Boat.

5:18 am

periwinkle

amanda anc cat, thanks got it, it is an odd word

5:18 am

Cat9x

you're welcome

5:18 am

amandacath

yw

5:19 am

FMitch

good clues ladies - there seem to be a lot of "more unusual thean noral" words here today.

5:19 am

FMitch

sheesh my typing is at it usual low standard :)

5:20 am

Haz1558

We still know what you mean. At least you haven't descended into text speak.

5:21 am

periwinkle

may I have a clue for the 9

5:21 am

FMitch

LOL I don't even know how to turn off the predictive text on my mobile (hangs head in shame) - this from a woman who installed a CD drive into last PC and rebuilt it.

5:22 am

Haz1558

My attempts at texting are pathetic. I still insist on using proper punctuation!

5:23 am

Cat9x

it all build's off of ar7/36 peri. from that you will get a ar8/50, then ar9/66 and finally ar8/50. A region of ancient Greece in the Peloponnesus. Its inhabitants, relatively isolated from the rest of the known civilized world, proverbially lived a simple, pastoral life.

5:24 am

Dianne

ar9 - also ar7 & ar8 x 2 - think of a Shopping Ar**** but play with the endings.

5:24 am

ExWren

Oh! I wish I hadn't started this puzzle. I have wasted ages trying to solve the te's (5's and 6). I hate this game!

5:25 am

Haz1558

No you don't, you're just experiencing a temporary dislike. We'll help you through.

5:25 am

periwinkle

thanks Dianne and Cat, so far I have ar4/4 :) Cat, your clue went right over my head

5:26 am

Cat9x

Sorry peri

5:26 am

FMitch

It lulled you into a false sense of security Ex-Wren as there are only 7 x re's

5:27 am

amandacath

and none of them are do-again re's!

5:27 am

FMitch

That makes a change!!

5:27 am

Cat9x

one is, re621, so far that is, missing 11 R's still :)

5:28 am

periwinkle

Cat, found the ar7!

5:28 am

amandacath

peri - the ar7-8-9-8, think heaven for video-game-playing teenagers

5:28 am

Cat9x

Great peri :)

5:28 am

FMitch

amanda - inspired clue

5:29 am

amandacath

thank you! ummm...I've got 8 re's...?

5:29 am

periwinkle

and its plural, ar8/50 but stuck finding the ar9 and other ar8 :(

5:29 am

ExWren

I haven't progressed as far as the re's. I always work backwards, so I am only with the te's (JUST got two of them)

5:30 am

FMitch

sorry typo 9 x re's

5:30 am

amandacath

oh, then the one I'm missing must be the do-again one...

5:30 am

Cat9x

think the ending of one who tells comedy Peri

5:31 am

periwinkle

Cat9 found the other ar8/50 just as I saw your clue, still working on the ar9 though

5:31 am

periwinkle

well that was easy, found the plural and got the ar9

5:31 am

Cat9x

plural that and you will have it peri

5:31 am

periwinkle

bbl

5:31 am

Cat9x

bye peri

5:32 am

ExWren

OK, cancel the immediate panic, got the te's

5:32 am

Haz1558

Well done! This isn't such a bad game after all.

5:33 am

Dianne

Wren - the ta's are easy - just wait til you get to the st words - ugh.

5:33 am

Preethi

Hi.. Im back for a few mins

5:34 am

Haz1558

5:34 am

FMitch

5:38 am

FMitch

thanks amanda, didn't have that one.

5:38 am

Haz1558

I can see a queue of people lining up to try to clue those cigars!

5:38 am

Dianne

Wren - think of the St5 word for horse and change the second vowel - then plural.

5:39 am

Preethi

Thanks Fmitch

5:40 am

FMitch

slaps self with the cod of doh and reminds self to always try a plural.

5:41 am

amandacath

5:49 am

amandacath

yep, I've got 2xea, 2xeg, 1xeo, 1xer, 1xet

5:49 am

FMitch

I've been babbling too long - you said eo5 and I knew the word immediately.

5:50 am

amandacath

frightening, isn't it, Mitch!

5:50 am

Dianne

there is an ei5/12 and another et.

5:51 am

FMitch

that's for sure amanda!

5:51 am

amandacath

5:54 am

amandacath

Hi jac, Eva!

5:54 am

Eva

well I knew the eo right away, but guess I haven't been playing for long enough to get the ei off the bat. Any clues?

5:54 am

Jacula

Oh good! It'll give me something to get on with after I've done my gardening and whilst 'Himself' is watching the footie tonight.

5:55 am

amandacath

if I remember correctly it's greek souls - the ei5, I mean

5:55 am

Jacula

An ei? Got that straight off. LOL.

5:56 am

Dianne

Eva - ei + one taking of medicine - but drop the last letter.

5:57 am

Eva

thanks Dianne. I'll store it away for future use.

6:02 am

Dianne

Bye all - have fun hunting.

6:02 am

FMitch

Bye Dianne

6:02 am

amandacath

Temple-babblets, temple-babblets!

6:04 am

FMitch

WTG amanda, well spotted, I had overlooked that one.

6:04 am

Eva

I think that temple word shows up in more puzzles than any other word.

6:05 am

FMitch

maybe we should dedicate it to blabble players?

6:06 am

amandacath

according to Lickety, ante and etna are tied for first place on the "most frequent" list

6:06 am

Eva

blabble-Ilike that FMitch-since we do tend to chat a lot...

6:14 am

Eva

Goosey goosey gander

6:16 am

Eva

6:17 am

Eva

6:20 am

miametro

okay, any clues for the n words? i haven't found a single one.

6:20 am

Eva

Goosey Goosey Gander where shall I wander,
Upstairs, downstairs and in my lady's chamber
There I met an old man who wouldn't say his prayers,
I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs.

6:21 am

Jacula

Well, that's 154 words I've found since I signed in. Time to do a few chores. BBL.

6:21 am

FMitch

Wonderful, would be considered so politically incorrect these days, wonder if it has an underlying meaning like the "Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses rhyme?

6:21 am

Eva

and for you bizarre trivia fans:Zealous Protestants & Secret Priest Holes
Goosey, Goosey Gander is a Rhyme with Historical undertones - an attention grabber for a nursery rhyme which uses alliteration in the lyrics designed to intrigue any child. The 'lady's chamber' was a room that once upon a time a high born lady would have her own chamber, (also referred to as a solar). The origins of the nursery rhyme are believed to date back to the 16th century and refer to necessity for Catholic priests to hide in 'Priest Holes' ( very small secret rooms once found in many great houses in England) to avoid persecution from zealous Protestants who were totally against the old Catholic religion. If caught both the priest and members of any family found harbouring them were executed. The moral in Goosey Goosey Gander's lyrics imply that something unpleasant would surely happen to anyone failing to say their prayers correctly - meaning the Protestant Prayers, said in English as opposed to Catholic prayers which were said in Latin!

6:23 am

FMitch

Brill Eva - great minds, see my post just under yours.

6:24 am

Eva

never knew what a solar was either. I wonder if any children still learn that rhyme? It was right on the cusp of obscurity in my childhood

6:24 am

Cat9x

Very interesting Eva, thanks for sharing that!

6:26 am

FMitch

If I had children I would teach them the same mursery rhymes I was taught and read them the same stories but add current day stuff too.

For anyone thats interested the Ring a ring a roses that I mentioned earlier relates to the stages of the Blad Death/Plague.

6:26 am

Cat9x

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

oh, and i see that Ms. Nin makes an appearance as well

7:10 am

Haz1558

It doesn't give her in the dictionary - I'm assuming it's acceptable because of the medical connection with plaster. (Is that what her head is filled with?)

7:10 am

Ornith

lots of phantom words today... arachnid, for one

7:10 am

sprite

Good afternoon!

GraceM

True... I also keep seeing rancid!

7:20 am

Ornith

7:36 am

Jacula

That's another phantom word; darn.:)

7:37 am

sprite

True! :)

7:37 am

GraceM

how come "dago" was a word last week but arab isn't?

7:37 am

Jacula

Sue.:D That must've been funny.

7:38 am

Jacula

'asian' isn't allowed either.

7:38 am

Ornith

ok, this do5/16 is driving me nuts. I have the words above and below it, and I know from the count it has to include the P, but I just can't seem to find it.

7:39 am

GraceM

and ptooie should def be in there!

7:39 am

Ornith

Enable is nothing if not inconsistent.

7:39 am

Charm

do5/16 - move along little do***s.

7:39 am

GraceM

or is it ptooey?

7:40 am

FMitch

I think it's 'cos dago is a slang word so OK (relatively speaking) the others are propper words so dis-allowed?

7:40 am

Charm

or something like that.

7:40 am

sprite

inconsistency made into an artform for sure

7:40 am

peanut327

can i have clues on e words

7:40 am

Ornith

charm, that's do5/20

7:40 am

Jacula

However, there is a pa6 (a dialect) that's allowed...

7:40 am

Ornith

peanut, the ea's are anagrams of each other

7:41 am

Charm

Same word diff spelling.

7:42 am

SueMagee

Jacula - it was funny , particularly as there was a bit of an argument going on at the time and it was, er, misunderstood!

7:42 am

Ornith

charm, I have one spelling as do5/20 and one as do4/9; I'm not seeing any other possible ones

7:42 am

Jacula

Sue - shame I missed it. I like a laugh.

7:42 am

Charm

do5/16 - the canine + 2 vowels.

7:43 am

Ornith

*blink blink* it's help if I did my math right

7:43 am

Charm

Ornith, the 2 vowels could stand for Lat for 'that is.'

7:44 am

Ornith

yeah, I got it now, I was just being stupid, heh

7:44 am

Jacula

Another phantom: 'oasis'.

7:44 am

sprite

Now I want pagodes.

7:44 am

Charm

not stupid - never that. just needed a steering in the right direction.... (or maybe just caffeine!)

7:45 am

Ornith

yeah, caffeine may well be the answer to ALL my questions

7:45 am

Jacula

Oh, and 'as**oid'.

7:45 am

GraceM

I'm at 145... may need to go to a list...

7:45 am

sprite

Babblers are NEVER stupid. Just temporarily blind.

7:45 am

Ornith

or bad at math, and trying to stick a P where it didn't belong, lol

7:47 am

GraceM

go7/36 is a strange word...

7:48 am

FMitch

but the go6/24 is a great one - take an animal and grow it into a beard.

7:48 am

Charm

clue, Grace?

7:48 am

sprite

More big ducklike than me for sure

7:48 am

Jacula

Oh, I dunno, Grace, 'more water fowl like' is a word we use every day.:)

7:48 am

Charm

Thanks! Jac and Sprite

7:48 am

GraceM

phantom word: paradise!

7:48 am

Jacula

Big ducklike. I like that, Sprite.*grins*

7:49 am

ypsigirl

7:49 am

ypsigirl

7:49 am

Jacula

Thanks, FMitch. Hadn't spotted the beardy one.

7:49 am

Ornith

I need to stop making up totally insane words. My brain is like "goosiad! that's... like a really fancy word for that duckling story, right?"

7:50 am

ypsigirl

funny orth!

7:50 am

abe79

fmitch, can i have an intellectual shove toward the go 6?

7:50 am

FMitch

yw Jacs

7:50 am

Anniebrook

how about goosand

7:50 am

GraceM

and lose a consonant from go7/36 for something sticky...

7:50 am

sprite

My brain just turns a blind eye to Di4/5. Is that telling something about me?

7:50 am

Atalante

hiiiii :)

7:51 am

Anniebrook

good morning, Atalante

7:51 am

abe79

nevermind fmitch. thanks for the clue before

7:51 am

sprite

Hey Ata! *hug*

7:51 am

Ornith

haha, yeah, that took me forever too sprite. morning atalante

7:51 am

Atalante

whats amusing is that I instantly knew which word you meant, sprite!

7:51 am

Jacula

Hmm, dunno, Sprite. It reminds me I need lunch though. BBL.

7:52 am

sprite

:D

7:52 am

Ornith

the 5/18 and the 4/6 are related to that one, grace. what a mess!

7:53 am

SueMagee

It took me ages to spot it, Sprite! Strangely enough, I got the plural first.

7:54 am

sprite

There is also someone who MAKES those things!

7:54 am

Ornith

man, I really do need coffee or something. or maybe not to think about roleplaying games so much. phantom word: goetic!

7:57 am

abe79

my phantom/ non word of the day....bandaid

7:58 am

Ornith

hey, I found one that actually does end in oid!

7:58 am

carrie5752

what is the di4/5?? Is it really obvious? What does is mean?? I'm feeling a lot of di7/36 at my inability to find it.

7:58 am

Atalante

mine: pterygoid. and saracen - not that that would be accepted anyway!

7:58 am

carrie5752

Mine is stoic.

7:58 am

Ornith

carrie: you might be on a di4/5.

7:59 am

sprite

Still beautiful words.
Carrie: what you need to lose weight.

7:59 am

Atalante

I love that word, Carrie!

7:59 am

abe79

jenny craig

7:59 am

carrie5752

Thanks for the clues---I got it. And thanks very much Ornith for suggesting that I might be on one!

8:00 am

sprite

Carrie, never mind, that is probably just projection from Ornith :)

8:01 am

Ornith

lol, didn't mean that you NEED to be, just meant it as a clue

8:01 am

Ornith

I'm stumped on that di7/36 though

8:01 am

carrie5752

Yeah. Sure. Whatever. ;)

8:02 am

sprite

Di7: someone who writes in a booklet on a daily basis.

8:02 am

Ornith

and sprite, you're the one who said it's what she needs to lose weight :P

8:02 am

Charm

thanks, sprite.

8:02 am

carrie5752

The di7 (which I found whilst looking for the di4) has a common prefix di* that often comes with appear. Then add 4 letters to that that rhymes with the cannine Great ****

8:02 am

Ornith

thanks, sprite!

8:02 am

sprite

Lol Ornith, true! That was 'you' as in 'one'.

8:03 am

Ornith

aha, had the prefix, was looking at the wrong D. thanks carrie

8:03 am

carrie5752

Oh great. Sprite's calling me pudgy too. Yeesh. You put on a few pounds and everyone's a critic!

8:03 am

sprite

And Di7 regard or treat with haughty contempt; despise

8:04 am

GraceM

in8 anyone?

8:04 am

sprite

(((carrie))) it's projection from my side too!

8:04 am

sprite

In + C6/21

8:04 am

Anniebrook

great clue, sprite

8:04 am

carrie5752

That's it. Skim milk in my coffee today.

8:04 am

carrie5752

Still having the cookies though.

8:05 am

GraceM

cool...didn't think that was a word...

8:06 am

sprite

I thought the whole point of skim milk was that you could take more cookies then!

8:06 am

Ornith

hmm, not the c6/21s I've got. didn't really think so.

8:06 am

sprite

Ornith: C6 = make

8:07 am

Ornith

thanks sprite!

8:07 am

carrie5752

Sprite--I had a housemate once who did that. She'd get a box of low fat cookies and eat them all and wonder why she still put on weight. Ah well everything in moderation--except Babble!

8:07 am

GraceM

cr8 is a fun word...

8:07 am

GraceM

think burning logs...

8:07 am

Ornith

and yeah, Grace, the in8 is a theological word.

8:07 am

sprite

I think it is used to paint fences.

8:08 am

Ornith

ah, the fat man!

8:08 am

sprite

I second that, carrie! :)

8:08 am

Atalante

my aunt and I would do that - we'd end up in cafes and have huge pieces of lemon meringue pie - but that was ok cos it was with diet coke LOL

8:08 am

GraceM

oh...I thought it was left behind in the process of burning wood. Shows what I know!

8:08 am

sprite

Lol Ata

8:09 am

amandacath

I'm back for my last 60 or so words

8:09 am

Ornith

I thought so too grace. might be both, though. I always think of it as the man from the Monty Python sketch though

8:09 am

Ornith

Atalante, I always crack up at the people who order a big mac and a diet coke

8:09 am

GraceM

hah! forgot about him!

8:10 am

sprite

It is both, I looked it up.

8:11 am

Atalante

oh yes Ornith! LOL at least we used to do it and not *really* believe that diet coke made everything better :P

8:11 am

carrie5752

Not getting the cr8 clues at all. Anything else?

8:11 am

Ornith

yeah, I always liked the "broken cookies have no calories" rule. though I always wanted to just break all the cookies on purpose then

8:12 am

abe79

diet coke counteracts many foods, including chocolate, candy, and french fries

8:12 am

Ornith

abe, chocolate is healthy now, didn't you hear?

8:12 am

carrie5752

I used to get skimmed milk lattes but a full fat blueberry muffin from the coffee shop. Mostly because I hate artifial sweeteners.

8:12 am

Charm

cheesecake.

8:13 am

Atalante

I always drink diet coke cos I can't stand the taste of regular coke!

8:13 am

sprite

I don't like di4 coke. How about me ordering it and NOT taking it? I can eat 2 big macs then :)

8:13 am

amandacath

Whether d-coke is worth it in the calorie-counting business is neither here nor there, since it tastes terrible!

8:13 am

abe79

i didn't ornith, but with that in mind, i will be sure to eat it more now!

8:13 am

Ornith

yeah abe, they're saying it's good for your heart now! dark chocolate is better

8:13 am

abe79

d coke is definitely an acquired taste (sorry for saying a word before)

8:14 am

kkiln

morning... still puzzled about that CR 8 clue...must be from a different era.

8:14 am

amandacath

One of the cr8's they put on railroad ties, as a preservative, I guess. The other builds off of a cr5/14

8:14 am

abe79

i love dark chocolate....

8:15 am

sprite

Cr8: yellowish to greenish-brown oily liquid, obtained from coal tar and used as a wood preservative and disinfectant. It can cause severe neurological disturbances if inhaled in strong concentrations

8:15 am

carrie5752

wow you're smart sprite!

8:15 am

GraceM

the second cr8 has me stumped...

8:15 am

sprite

Nah, the dictionary is!
Cr8: Curled or ruffled, as the margins of certain leaves

8:16 am

carrie5752

was teasing you sprite. I didn't think your vocab was that good!

8:16 am

Ornith

the second one sounds like what happened to your potato chips

8:16 am

sprite

The last Cr8: something with a 'bite' + past tense of what you would do with it.

8:17 am

kkiln

Thanks SPrite...glad there is wikipedia...

8:17 am

GraceM

ah...good clue sprite!

8:18 am

8:19 am

Charm

sprite

Don't fight fate, abe! :)

8:21 am

8:22 am

Ornith

8:22 am

sprite

Ornith: a measure of certain playing cards

8:23 am

sprite

That's a well balanced meal, abe ;)

8:23 am

Ornith

thanks sprite

8:24 am

GraceM

I'm still missing a cr6/21

8:24 am

Haz1558

cr6/21 - think of skulls plural.

8:24 am

sprite

One is make, the other sounds like a girl's name.

8:24 am

Ornith

grace, I have skulls and make, missing the last one too

8:24 am

GraceM

got it! thx HAz!

8:25 am

sprite

Oh, true, and that one too.

8:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

8:25 am

GraceM

ornith-- sounds like ar6/18

8:26 am

Ornith

oh, it does sound like a girl's name. thanks

8:27 am

Ornith

which makes the 7/32 a latin-style plural.

8:27 am

Charm

barista is not a word?

8:27 am

Ornith

two rs, charm. but try dropping the first letter.

8:27 am

sprite

Sure it is. Only enable doesn't know it.

8:28 am

Ornith

oh, no, it's not 2 r's, it's just stupid enable.

8:28 am

Charm

thanks, Ornith - just finished the a's and moving on to the b's.

8:28 am

Ornith

oh? what are the ac5/12 and ae6 then?

8:29 am

Charm

ba6?

8:29 am

Ornith

wish I knew :P

8:29 am

Charm

ae6 - to introduce air (often to your lawn)

8:30 am

sprite

We had some bad storms here yesterday, but I think they dimmed by comparison to faeriekae's rightful indignation... good for you, faeriekae; no job is worth the loss of your self esteem and no boss has the right to treat others with such disrespect! So, how goes the grid today?

stidmama

That's what I was thinking of doing FMitch! :-) Thanks.

9:58 am

FMitch

Oh Ata, I missed the earlier link but thanks for that. Absolutely stunning and I love the way the bridesmaids are linked in. Who is the little chap on the right hand side all dressed up and being good?

9:58 am

Atalante

had to try and look pretty somehow ;) and the dress designer made me a dark green skirt to go with the bodice so I can wear it again and again at balls and things - it seems such a waste to only wear once!

Charm

ri4/4 = ri + ** good ** it gets.

bunnyvicious

10:39 am

amandacath

Lickety's list is just as good as the stats, just means switching windows a bit more. And I already splurged this month (today in fact) on a haircut and highlights - my budget is sadly too tight for such luxuries as a pro-account

10:41 am

stidmama

ac 5/12 please

10:42 am

stidmama

nvm, just monkeyed it

10:42 am

firefly779

hello all!

10:42 am

FMitch

amanda you are right about lickety's list it is very useful but you do realise that the payment to go pro is a one off, not a monthly thing?

10:42 am

stidmama

hi firefly!

10:44 am

firefly779

hi stid - your icon is very pretty, and I'm sorry you didn't have a dress of your own :(

10:45 am

stidmama

amandacath

Yes, send me Pavel! He's retiring, so he'll have plenty of free time for me.

10:57 am

I'm not really a raving soccer fan - drooling over the pretty boys is my way of dealing with having to deal with it

10:58 am

FMitch

Oh he can be your play thing at your beck and call. Actaully that sounds a bit icky but you know what I mean (I hope)!!!!

12:50 pm

tracymoo

12:50 pm

12:51 pm

ac7/32 - narrow pointed leaves, it's like a word for cut or abrade minus its initial l, or it's like a playing card plus what you do to a movie to determine whether it's PG or R

sorry for being dense, I am not getting that BA 6 -- trying to get a few more words before the boys get home for the summer...

1:37 pm

firefly779

items that are contra****, minus the last letter, plus guys name like McKellan or Ziering

1:37 pm

firefly779

then plural for the 7

1:37 pm

Atalante

ba6 - if you forbid someone from doing something, you *** them + boy's name - like *** fleming, james bond ceator

1:38 pm

stidmama

thanks firefly and Atalante! I was trying to keep the last letter of the first word in... got it now

1:38 pm

nightnight

ba 6 almost soudns like someone from a country on the adriatic sea

Atalante

yay stidmama!

1:39 pm

firefly779

i just monkeyed a ce4/5 Grace, but that's all i have too

1:40 pm

stidmama

the ce 5/12 is ce +spanish for "river" in female form

1:41 pm

ls1

ce 5/12 and its plural sound like a middle eastern country

1:41 pm

stidmama

then plural for a 6

1:41 pm

GraceM

I've managed to monkey all but the ce8

1:41 pm

stidmama

I could use the first ce 6 and assume the ce 8 is its plural?

1:41 pm

dodge

ce + ra4 = ca6

1:42 pm

dodge

ce6!!

1:42 pm

stidmama

thanks dodge! that worked!

1:42 pm

stidmama

the ce 8 ends like the human-robot hybrid words...

1:42 pm

GraceM

pluraling the ce6 doesn't work for the 8...

1:43 pm

GraceM

ah, thx stid.

1:43 pm

GraceM

1:43 pm

stidmama

yw Grace.

FMitch

Of the icons today I have to say my 2 favourite ones are Atalante and Fire - Ata for the stunning alternative approach to a wedding dress and for Fire, her boquet which is so beautiful.

1:50 pm

Atalante

*looks at Fire's bouquet* oh wow yes! how beautiful!

1:50 pm

GraceM

on to the Es!

1:51 pm

Atalante

this is Vicki's wedding dress site - she makes the most *stunning* things (some totally over the top, but still stunning lol) http://www.vsb-bridaldesign.com/

1:53 pm

GraceM

1:58 pm

Anniebrook

sorry, wrong clue, grace

1:59 pm

GraceM

ah, thx!

1:59 pm

Atalante

aren't they just fabulous! Its funny, I never wanted a traditional wedding dress. When I was about 14 or something, I drew what I wanted as a dress if I ever got married, and my dress was almost exactly that - except with dark green instead of dark red - I was just so lucky that Vicki had set up her business and was doing just perfect designs. (had to be green instead of red as husband is far too much of a redhead for red to do anything but clash horribly)

2:01 pm

GraceM

on to the Ns!

2:01 pm

Atalante

please tell me you're using the list, Grace, or I shall feel horribly inadequate!

2:02 pm

GraceM

oh no... I resorted to the list fter 185 words...

2:02 pm

FMitch

Mine wasn't trad either but was ivory. I have to go now so nigth night to all and Happy Babbling and thanks for todays chat!!!

2:02 pm

Atalante

night FM!

2:03 pm

Anniebrook

night!

2:03 pm

Atalante

phew!!!

2:03 pm

bostonmermaid

Atalante, you rock! I don't want a traditional dress either...

2:04 pm

Atalante

yay for non-traditional dresses! what I *love* about mine is that Vicki made me a dark green skirt to go with the bodice, so I can wear it again and again over the years to posh occasions. It's so beautiful, I'd hate to just put it away and never wear it again!

2:05 pm

bostonmermaid

exactly! I want a knockout gown that I can wear again on our fifth anniversary, tenth, etc...

2:05 pm

bostonmermaid

yours is breathtaking...

2:06 pm

bostonmermaid

you can tell it's your style, and that's what makes it work!

2:06 pm

Atalante

thank you! *grins* it's just very *me*, patterns and colours and still simple at the same time

2:06 pm

Atalante

lol exactly!

2:07 pm

bostonmermaid

how big was your wedding?

2:08 pm

Atalante

if you want something really perfect, I'd suggest finding someone to make it cos then you can customise things exactly - and I don't know about France, but doing it that way was about the same price as getting dresses ready made! and there were *thinks* about 150 people there

2:08 pm

ruthy

can anyone please give me a clue for the 2nd pa 5/12

2:09 pm

bostonmermaid

I'm actually in Boston at present, but we're not sure if the wedding will be here or in France or in Siberia for that matter... it's still a ways off!

2:09 pm

bostonmermaid

it all comes down to $$$ :)

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

is that pa5/12 the glue one?

2:09 pm

Atalante

well you've got a good amount ofchoices then ;)

2:10 pm

puptone

pa5/12 - slangish word for father

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

also latin word for father

2:10 pm

Atalante

urf, tell me about it! I was really lucky in that all my friends are arty so we did all the flowers and the invitations and table things ourselves, and all my husband's friends are musical, so they provided all that!

2:11 pm

bostonmermaid

that's so great... I know I want to have my dress custom made, and can maybe save a little there as my mother and sister are excellent seamstresses

2:12 pm

bostonmermaid

did you have a buffet or anything?

2:12 pm

ruthy

ty uneaixoise

2:12 pm

Atalante

rope in everyone you can! it made such a difference to us - we could spend money when we needed to, but save so much using everyone around us, and that was lovely knowing how everyone contributed to the day

2:13 pm

Uneaixoise

that's such a smart thing to do, boston--one of my daughter's friends got married several years ago and her grandmother made all the bridesmaids' dresses--saved lotsa $$$ and they were all beautiful and a perfect fit!

2:13 pm

ruthy

thats me finished bye everyone

2:13 pm

Atalante

we had a pretty simple buffet, and spent lots of money instead on the most fantastic cake in the entire world. everyone remembers that and everyone was drooling over it so much we could ahve served dog food and no-one would have cared!

2:14 pm

abe79

congrats ruthy!

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

do you have a pic of the cake??

2:14 pm

2:19 pm

bostonmermaid

2:19 pm

GraceM

2:20 pm

ls1

une - does your screen name have to do with aix en provence

2:20 pm

bostonmermaid

Une: no, educators... my mother teaches ESL/French/Spanish, my father teaches mathematics

2:20 pm

Uneaixoise

yes--i studied there and also married a native aixois

2:21 pm

Atalante

isn't it? and omg it was gorgeous! we really decided to spend our $$$ in 2 or 3 things we'd really remember. the day goes past in such a blur, I can't for the life of me remember what else we ate or anything, but I remmber those 2 or 3 things - and so do all the people there - I still get letters talking about it 4 years later!

2:21 pm

ls1

i'm visiting my sis in paris this fall and really want to go down there

2:21 pm

Uneaixoise

how wonderful, boston! so you speak at least 3 languages, eh?

2:21 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, Paris is so delightful in the fall!

2:22 pm

bostonmermaid

I'm a language addict... French, Italian, German, Turkish, Chinese, Cambara (African), Swahili so far.

2:22 pm

Atalante

Paris is delightful most of the time!

2:22 pm

bostonmermaid

oh and English.

2:22 pm

Dogluver

wow thats impressive

2:22 pm

ls1

so, all you language experts - what's the best quick way to learn/brush up on french?

2:22 pm

Yvo

Une did you ever hear of Digne quite a beautyful place in the south of France spend many sommers there.

2:22 pm

Uneaixoise

good lord, boston, that's incredible!!!

2:23 pm

Atalante

find a French person and talk to them

2:23 pm

Uneaixoise

exactly . . . or a French boyfriend!

2:23 pm

Uneaixoise

Yvo, what is Digne near?

2:23 pm

ls1

that would be my sis, but she's there

2:24 pm

Dogluver

you could read a french phrasebook

2:24 pm

Atalante

there's nothing like actually talking the language - do you have night classes in French conversation anywhere?

2:24 pm

ls1

that would be great une, but my husband might not like that (but i'm sure i would!)

2:25 pm

ls1

there is a class at the local high school - but the guy teaches canadian french!

2:25 pm

Atalante

tell your husband he's for educational purposes ;)

2:26 pm

Atalante

there's always someone around who's willing to give language lessons, either privately or through colleges - you just have to find them, that's the hard part. a few hours actual conversation would do you more good than lots more hours reading / listening to tapes etc

2:27 pm

bostonmermaid

as a teenager I felt like I was losing my French completely, living in the States... I highly, HIGHLY recommend a French boyfriend (or two)!!!

2:27 pm

Atalante

2:27 pm

Uneaixoise

3:42 pm

Mollusk

10th/12th grade English

3:43 pm

Mollusk

Eva

wonder what a nollusk is? A nihilistic mollusk?

3:44 pm

kristinc

3:44 pm

abe79

i'm missing a pa 5/12. i have first one, city, glue, father

3:44 pm

3:49 pm

evanonut

72 - it's storming like a female dog here!

3:49 pm

Eva

kristin-I meant the "unresponsive script" message that pops up while the list is printing and offer the options to continue or to stop loading script. If I push stop loading script, then it says everything is done, but doesn't load the entire list. if I let it continue, which sometimes takes a long time, then everything appears.

3:49 pm

rumplestiltskin

Did you get it Steph?

3:50 pm

3:52 pm

Eva

3:52 pm

evanonut

3:52 pm

Eva

yeah...not on the comfy couch anymore but who cares...I can feed my babble addiction after all! :)

4:01 pm

goob

hi gang. Atalante, before I became a babble-maniac, I was an Engish teacher. Although, either is technically correct, the most current form would be 'smelt'.... plus you avoid the 'smelting iron' connotations.

4:01 pm

rolin

well i reckon if w can win that game against croatia...we have a chance against italy...ive spoken to some far more knowledgeable than i...and they say italy are vulnerable..

4:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

4:02 pm

rolin

goob...goob...quick..tell me how yo got to STOP being an english teacher...

ty inge - I think smelled is the way to go!

4:10 pm

Mollusk

I usually prefer smelled over smelt... like dreamed over dreamt

4:10 pm

thtmotorsports

any clues on the ar9?

4:11 pm

thtmotorsports

smelt is a noun, smelled is a verb in the past tense

4:12 pm

jaianniah

Hi, everyone. I just did a "rough" count, and over *70* words end with "S"-, meaning, when all else fails, PLURAL IT!!! Also, a good number end with the Latin plural "ae"- so if it ends with an "A", try, adding an "E" for the plural.

4:12 pm

Atalante

I normally like the t endings, but smelt looks weird

4:15 pm

jaianniah

ar 9 is part of a "family" of words- they are ar7,8,9,and 8. They all have the same root-here is the clue: pitch-penny ar**** + the end of our friends, the Cana*****> Hope this helps!

4:15 pm

Bored86

i think smelt is a type of grain. no i don't mean spelt!

4:16 pm

Haz1558

I've just looked up the dictionary and both smelled and smelt are acceptable past tense forms of smell. But I agree with Atalante, smelled looks better to me.

4:16 pm

jaianniah

To smelt something is to melt it like an ore, like iron....i think....

4:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is a fish also

4:16 pm

goob

Atalante, you are right... in the oxford dictionary [British / Canadian spellings] do allow for either 'smelled' or 'smelt'.... but i still like 'smelled.'

4:17 pm

6:38 pm

Jen

Sorry that took so long to reply, on the phone with vet. In addition to my d*mn dog (bless his heart) having IBD and on steroids for the rest of his life, he also has a fungus... he's going to a kennel in a week and I am worried they won't take him with the fungus! :(

6:38 pm

Jacula

Jen - That's where I'm off to in a week's time.

6:39 pm

Jacula

Jen - I meant I'm going to Crete, not into kennels! Unfortunate timing there.

6:39 pm

stidmama

Thanks all. I am hoping it's gone by tomorrow. My great aunt will be here this weekend and I really want the yard (and house) to be a little bit put together! Meantime, I am sleeping a lot and drinking as much as I can.
