12:40 am

renfield

k esquian

12:40 am

esquian

how can you have a word coming off the top N in the second column and none coming of the one right next to it, when the first N touches the same (only) vowel the other N touches

12:41 am

esquian

sorry...that would be second from the right

12:41 am

renfield

the 2nd n is grayed out so that we don;t have that prob today

12:41 am

jaianniah

The word is credited to the FIRST letter in the puzzle it can be solved from, when it can be found in more than one way...

12:42 am

esquian

first, from left to right?

12:42 am

jaianniah

I just learned that yesterday!

12:42 am

jaianniah

Yes

12:43 am

esquian

ok...thanks! This grid is driving me crazy with all the N's and E's in the two right columns

12:46 am

harpjane

1:20 am

nrkii

from that E, I have 4 er 4, an er 5 and an er 6

1:21 am

Cat9x

Do you ever try a word that it says isn't a word, but you swear you have seen it somewhere before, but don't know what it could mean? Mine besides torent, was esso, no idea why I seem to think that's a word, lol

2:31 am

FMitch

:) Thanks for that sprite.

2:32 am

FMitch

Yup I do that too Cat. Esso is a chain of gas stations here in UK

2:32 am

Oh yes, Cat, almost daily. Seems like my brain is more creative with words than enable, lol. Esso is a brand of gasoline.

2:33 am

jaianniah

Torrent is a word- it means turbulent, like rapids

2:33 am

Krys10

hey all!

2:33 am

Cat9x

oops, didnt mean to say WE like that

2:34 am

Cat9x

Held the cap lock down too long, sorry Jai!

2:34 am

sprite

'cooey' is, and perhaps even 'cooee', Krys.

2:35 am

sprite

The curse of the capslock, Cat... could be the title of a new thriller!

2:35 am

Krys10

yes, A2Z confirms "cooee" - that must be what I had in my head

2:35 am

Krys10

cat, I like your icon!

2:35 am

Cat9x

Sure could, makes it seem like being sarcastic or yelling, which I wasn't doing :)

2:36 am

2:38 am

sprite

And corset.

2:39 am

sprite

Not kind of it, Cat!

2:39 am

Cat9x

All the hours and hours you put into it...

2:40 am

Cat9x

I'm telling you, the ingratitude!

2:41 am

Cat9x

2:41 am

sprite

I agree, what's a little 2nd use of O among friends, hm?!

2:42 am

3:57 am

Cat9x

food scraps, or4/4

3:57 am

stphnclysmth

Bracken

9:25 am

Haz1558

Look under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. Then click on Lickety's babble clues and you will get a list of all the second letters and the points values. Scroll through to find the 7 letters.

9:32 am

FMitch

Haz1558

9:38 am

Atalante

9:42 am

FMitch

Woohoo Angel, love your new innoivations BTW.

9:42 am

Atalante

10:11 am

LeslieAnn

oh i see. go england, then.

10:11 am

FMitch

Union flat?? Union flag!!!

10:11 am

hetty

Annie--bad way to start the day; hope the printer recovers. As for me, I went to let the dog out and the deer had gobbled up all my lovely geraniums that were in an urn beside the front door. Pesky beautful creatures

10:14 am

Anniebrook

im laughing with you, mitch!

10:16 am

hetty

Yes, if they saw the flowers on your icon they'd have them in a flash. I sometimes think they watch us setting out pretty things for them to munch on as soon as we're asleep--

10:16 am

FMitch

I'm sure they think it is very kind of all gardeners the world over to provide such tasty treats.

10:17 am

hetty

Anway, guys, I used the word first and I hadn't ecven noticed it in the grid!

10:17 am

inge

Anniebrook, where does your daughter live that Bambis cousins eat her flowers?

10:17 am

Anniebrook

my daughter was told that de** do not like marigolds. she will try that soon.

10:17 am

Anniebrook

inge, she lives in connecticut

10:18 am

inge

I grew up in Danbury. My icon is the female deer that keeps eating our blooms

10:18 am

Lara226

Feeling frustrated.. Can I get a clue about the ne5/10

10:18 am

Mary

I was in New Mexico last year and planted marigolds the next day they were eaten by rabbits. Thought they hated them

10:18 am

hetty

If hungry enough, they'll eat anything, believe me

10:19 am

Anniebrook

i guess it is a fight we humans will probably lose. everyone has to eat to survive.

10:19 am

inge

ne 5, like the crazy intellectuals , change the next to last cons. to crossed letter

10:19 am

LeslieAnn

i'm looking for it too, lara

10:23 am

FMitch

Yes, matty not many dragons in Hitchcock films. Perhaps you could improvise one into The Birds?

10:23 am

Anniebrook

will tell her about the hybrids, thanks, evan!

10:23 am

hetty

now I know what a "nerd" is I take back my refusal to be characterized as such. I guess it fits. Thought it meant something like "twerp" (that's how old I am)

10:24 am

hetty

or "goon"

10:25 am

Anniebrook

hetty, im probably your age too. twerps usually are sassy, nerds are just plain smart, as you are!

10:25 am

mattygroves

Found one (icon!) So how's the grid?

10:25 am

inge

I belong to the senior group as well

10:26 am

Anniebrook

welcome, inge

10:26 am

mattygroves

My phantom word - creosote! So how's the grid?

10:26 am

inge

grid works well once you are warmed up, finished in less than two hours

10:26 am

FMitch

Didn't realise the dict. def for twerp - rather harsh!! - A person regarded as insignificant and contemptible

10:26 am

hetty

Seniors unite! Let's take over the world

10:27 am

Anniebrook

Right on, hetty!

10:27 am

inge

and here we tell the kids that the future is in their hands\

10:28 am

hetty

They are hands that we have trained, inge

10:28 am

Anniebrook

i pray for the future. i would be very comfortable leaving the future to this group of babblers.

10:28 am

harpjane

No one recognizes my icon? Which movie?

10:29 am

FMitch

Annie - that is a lovely thing to say but that is because the majority of us are women!!!!! Let women sort out the problems

10:29 am

mattygroves

Dunno, harp - anyone know mine?

10:29 am

inge

where is movieman when you need him

10:30 am

FMitch

He is busy wathcing the football!

10:30 am

Anniebrook

its bendix and hitchcock in the ad, but the movie, hmmm?

10:30 am

hetty

I was joking about "taking over "anyway. Far too may groups already think that way. Our function as seniors is to remind our young of the lasting values we have discovered in our longer lives

10:30 am

inge

so am I, can I get his attention across the pond?

10:30 am

faeriekae

Ok I'm finished

10:30 am

harpjane

matty--wow, that's obscure! Is it from the magazine?

10:31 am

Anniebrook

yes, hetty, well said.

10:31 am

Hey Jacula, hows the garden, it must be looking great with all the hard work you have put in recently!

10:48 am

Jacula

FMitch - garden's looking okay. I'll have to put some pics up sometime.

10:48 am

FMitch

that would be good Jacs

10:50 am

Uncagain

hmm, I seem to have lost the so6 word. Clue?

10:52 am

mattygroves

Cool - I got the eight without even realising it. That's a first.

10:52 am

Uncagain

11:00 am

mattygroves

I've got 62, but it's going very slowly now...

11:01 am

mattygroves

Methinks the list will be coming out soon (if I could get it to load)

11:01 am

Ouwachita

DONE...anyone need a clue??

11:02 am

Jacula

Not for me yet, thanks, Ouw. Congrats on finishing!

11:02 am

mattygroves

Having become smug at the finding of the eight...I've yet to find a single seven. Any pointers?

11:03 am

Jacula

Plural of es6, Matty.

11:03 am

Dorens

sc 7---something people ride with one foot on the ground

11:03 am

Ouwachita

most 7's are either plurals or superlatives

11:04 am

Jacula

Past tense of sc5/12 (to deride or make fun of).

11:05 am

Jacula

Plural of te6/21.

11:05 am

mattygroves

Thanks!

11:05 am

Dorens

and then, children like fried chicken te 7/32

11:06 am

Uncagain

Afternoon all....happy sunday!!

11:07 am

Dorens

11:10 am

caitlyn

Thanks matty

11:16 am

Jacula

I gather England have just scored, judging by the yells from the sitting room!

11:17 am

mattygroves

OK, here we go again. I cannot get into Lickerty's list (I'm on dial up - my broadband was SUPPOSED to be active this week, but talk talk has failed me at the moment) - and Brandyjack hasn't updated his this weekend. Could someone please send me the list at the address in my profle that uses my 'real' name - not a number?

11:17 am

FMitch

Finally we have sc*** a goal - I really was starting to get worried there. Lets just keep fingers crossed for the rest of the game.

11:17 am

FMitch

Matt I will email you the list

11:18 am

Jacula

Better make it our toes, FMitch; it's hard to type with crossed fingers.

11:18 am

mattygroves

Yep - 1-0

11:18 am

mattygroves

Thanks Mitch!

11:18 am

mattygroves

I'll await with bated breath...

11:19 am

FMitch

It's on it's way :)

11:21 am

FMitch

True Jacs but I am in completed list, giving clues only mode. and typing very badly when i do.

11:21 am

mattygroves

Thanks, F!

11:21 am

Jacula

Oh, right, FMitch. I've got 13 left to find and am resisting the list at present.

11:22 am

Jacula

Matty - not that there's anything wrong with using the list, btw! I've just challenged myself to do without today, if poss.

11:22 am

mattygroves

No scrote?! Disgraceful!

11:22 am

Jacula

Matty - I tried that, too. LOL

11:22 am

FMitch

Weel done - I had to go for the list this morning with 15 left.

11:23 am

mattygroves

I've got 46 left - and I haven't used the list yet, but it's coming, so hence the ask...and I've no shame :D

11:26 am

Minski

Where in England is FMitch's flag from? I have a friend who is flying one in front of his house. He has some sort of an English accent but I haven't asked him where he's from yet.

11:26 am

Dorens

ok, no offense taken fmitch...

11:27 am

Jacula

Minski - It's St. George's flag. The English flag.

11:28 am

Minski

I thought your flag is the English flag Jacula.

11:28 am

mattygroves

The flag Jacula and I flag is the Union Jack - that's for all of Britain. The flag FMitch flies is England's flag - the flag Caitlyn flies is Wales'. There are folks here flying Scotland's flag.

11:28 am

Moozey

that is the Union Jack

11:28 am

mattygroves

I made the desperate mistake when I first came to the UK - England is NOT Britain, any more than Texas is the US.

11:28 am

Moozey

which encompasses England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales

11:29 am

mattygroves

England <> UK

11:29 am

Jacula

Mine's the Union flag, known as the Union Jack when flown on board ships.

11:29 am

mattygroves

Northern Ireland - Moozey!

11:29 am

Minski

Sorry for my ignorance. Ahha. I understand. Thanks for clearing that up. I knew there were several different flag icons and they all say that you are from England and I didn't really know where they were all from.

11:29 am

FMitch

Phew Dorens - I am a happy babbler!!!

Minski - the flag I am flying today is the English St George one. Actually Moozey according to flag lessons this week it can only be calle dthe Union Jack when on a boat, on land its the Union flag - but hey babble is a continuous learning curve!!!

11:29 am

caitlyn

Moozey the Union Jack doesnt include Wales!! A great bug bear here

11:30 am

mattygroves

OK Minski - pop quiz. Where's Edinburgh? If you were buying a ticket for that city, what would you ask for?

11:30 am

mattygroves

Yes, but Wales has the coolest flag. I love dragons (as some of you may have noticed)

11:30 am

Moozey

hey if you don't ask you don't know. Oops and I meant Northern Ireland, what will check me to proof read (my parents are from Eire)

11:30 am

Jacula

Must've been a near miss in the match - just heard cries of, 'Come on!' followed by 'Oh God!'

11:31 am

Moozey

I assumed it did, though I was thinking the other day did you have some other flag cos I couldn't see how it fitted into the Union Jack LOL

11:31 am

Jacula

Caitlyn - Wales, rightly or wrongly, is represented by the flag of St. George. You have Henry VIII's Act of Union of 1536 to 'thank' for that! The first Union flag was made in 1606.

11:31 am

moorheit

Last word... Can I get help with the second te 6/18, please?

11:32 am

caitlyn

Mooz

11:32 am

FMitch

Moozey - absolutely!!! If you overlay the sepearate flags they make up the Union one excluding the Welsh Dragon.

11:32 am

caitlyn

OOPS

11:32 am

Moozey

I didn't know that Jacula - see you learn something new everyday!

11:33 am

mattygroves

The Welsh flag is cool...but I imagine it's a bitch to draw LOL

11:33 am

caitlyn

I didnt now that either (SHHHHHHH) Im English anyway!!

11:34 am

caitlyn

I mean Know

11:34 am

Jacula

That's the fun of Babble. So many different people here with knowledge of different things. It's entertaining AND educational.:-)

11:34 am

FMitch

2nd te6/18 - muscle that stretches or tightens a body part.

11:35 am

Minski

Edinburgh is in Scotland.....isn't it?

11:35 am

Moozey

sure is

11:35 am

FMitch

Yes it is Minski

11:35 am

Jacula

It most certainly is, Minski.

11:35 am

Moozey

my sister lives there ;

11:35 am

moorheit

Thank you FMitch! Got it.

11:35 am

Jacula

Did you know there is a volcano in the middle of Edinburgh?

11:36 am

mattygroves

Yep - but the number of Americans who will talk about "Edinburgh in England" - you'd quail. Keep in mind that I AM American, and it took me AGES to get used to the fact that the UK is made up of a whole slew of separate 'countries.'

11:36 am

Moozey

no Jacula would that be over but St Alberts seat or whatever it is called?

11:36 am

mattygroves

I realise that Texas THINKS it's another country, and many people WISH LA were another country...but it is different here.

11:36 am

FMitch

yw moorheit

11:37 am

mattygroves

In the Commonweath Games, the countries of the UK compete independently.

11:37 am

Jera

I think many Americans don't underestand the difference between kingdom & country.

11:38 am

Jacula

Moozey - it's Arthur's Seat, slap bang in the middle of Holyrood/Qheen's Park.

11:38 am

Jacula

*or even Queen's Park!

11:38 am

MVA

the volcano is under the castle, not Arthur's seat

11:38 am

Jera

Ooh, Jacula, I love your icon!

11:38 am

Moozey

I knew it began with an A LOL

11:39 am

FMitch

Jera - dont forget to email you details

11:40 am

Minski

A trip or two over to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales is definitely on my list of vacations I WILL take. I can't wait. I have a travel bug but no money right now. *sob*

11:40 am

mattygroves

I took a vacation to the UK in 1988. I'm still here...

11:41 am

Moozey

Did you know Edinburgh has whole streets buried underground?
in 1645 Mary King's Close was shattered forever. The plague struck this little community and there is a myth that the local council decided to contain the plague by incarcerating the victims,
bricking up the close for several years and leaving the people inside to die. It is likely that this is why the close was nicknamed 'street of sorrows'

11:41 am

caitlyn

Minski you will always have a welcome in the hillside!!
LOL matty

11:41 am

Jera

I thought I did, FMitch... check your e-mail?

11:41 am

Dorens

ok, finally down to 30, and I'm going to the list

11:41 am

Jera

I have a Welsh flag on my office wall... very cool.

11:42 am

FMitch

No Jera nothing has come through from you but I have had other mail.

11:42 am

Jera I love your Celtic icon - way cool

11:42 am

She wanted me to buy her more socks, which I just did rather recently, so I told her to gather up all her socks & we'd wash & sort them & she'd be surprised how many pairs she really had.

12:00 pm

Layne

Hi stidmama! Hot as blue blazes here -- how about there?

12:01 pm

stidmama

hot, hot and getting hotter! but at least not as humid as a couple weeks ago.

12:01 pm

caitlyn

How long is she away for Jera/

12:01 pm

Dorens

layne, i have a few that look weird to me, what numbers?

12:01 pm

stidmama

well Jera, did the sock sorting work?

12:01 pm

Jera

Anyway, she swore she found all she could. So I told her that every sock I found while she was gone was a week without a certain kind of book she likes (manga, which I swear has brought down her reading grades).

12:01 pm

Layne

Ahh, that lack of humidity thing. We don't know anything about there here in South Louisiana!

12:01 pm

rumplestiltskin

All tr's are related, just keep going up the grid and changing last letters

12:01 pm

YoBaby

Hi Layne!

12:02 pm

Jera

Oh, she found seven pairs, enough for a week at camp if there are no problems.

12:02 pm

Wyrd

well its about 85 already on the west coast

12:02 pm

rumplestiltskin

With double 2nd vowels

12:02 pm

Layne

Dorens, I don't have the numbers yet. Will go to Lickety's soon if I can't do it another way.

12:02 pm

Wyrd

gonna be over a hundred inland

12:02 pm

Jera

While cleaning her room today I found TEN MORE.

12:02 pm

Layne

YoBaby! You're awake!

12:02 pm

Jera

So no manga this summer *chuckles evilly*

12:02 pm

YoBaby

Shut up, ya troll.

12:02 pm

YoBaby

It's been a helluva coupla days.

12:02 pm

Dorens

there's one that's like the word for body but a different vowel at the end?

12:02 pm

Layne

Wyrd, our heat index was about 110 yesterday!

12:03 pm

mattygroves

Jera - have you checked in the bed, under the bed, behind the bed, in the closet, in other items of clothing...(yes, I have a daughter too). Hold old is yoeurs?

12:03 pm

Wyrd

i would just die layne

12:03 pm

Jera

Caitlyn, she is gone to camp for two weeks, but then going straight to grandparents' in Georgia for another two. So she won't be home for four weeks.

12:03 pm

Dorens

and then there's one like the thing we light up, minus the last letter

12:03 pm

mattygroves

Living in England...my daughter has another month of school this year!

12:04 pm

Layne

Thanks, Dorens, I'll chew on those a while.

12:04 pm

Jera

The Sprite just turned 10. I didn't have to look even that hard. She has no "under the bed" as she sleeps on a futon (her chhoice). I just gathered up the trash, sorted some books from shoes & toys, & voila... sock city!

12:04 pm

caitlyn

I bet you will miss her Jera (should give you extra Babble time though)LOl

12:04 pm

stidmama

oh Jera, I empathize with the clutter and "lost" things... my kids are going to a single week of camp at the end of July. Hoping they will have had time to do the hard part before I get in there...

12:04 pm

Dorens

yw,. layne

12:04 pm

Jera

I will miss her, she's a great kid plus very helpful.

12:05 pm

mattygroves

Check in the pillow cases...you've no idea where I've found socks - even in the trash

12:05 pm

Jera

She doesn't use pillow cases. She makes all her pilloews, those square ones from material that strikes her fancy. We gut them & wash them monthly.

12:06 pm

Layne

YoBaby, everything quiet at your house?

12:06 pm

FMitch

Jera - got yr email to my aol a/c - who knows re technology. Will package up a litte resture trove for Sprite and send it off this week.

12:06 pm

mattygroves

Until this year, my daughter spent the whole summer (from late July when school breaks up here) with my mum in Phillhy - we've then joined her at the end of August. As much as I miss her, I've really enjoyed the time 'free' - she's been doing that since she was 7 or 8.

12:06 pm

Jera

Thanks, FMithc!

12:06 pm

FMitch

*treasure trove!

12:06 pm

YoBaby

Fairly. Lily's taking her nap. Alex is fighting the breathing treatments now which is a real switch from his attitude about them over the past few weeks.

12:06 pm

YoBaby

Won't let me outta his sight though.

12:07 pm

Jera

I did find one odd thing... she's always complaining about not having room in her bureau for her clothes... well, I found the drawers half ful of Sunday COMICS!! I guess that would cut down on the space for clothes...

12:07 pm

stidmama

I love my children, and love having them around -- but also think that the "alone with grandparents" time is important. Something I never had as a kid.

12:07 pm

Layne

YoBaby, have you tried talking to him about them? I know he's young but he may be able to understand some of it.

12:07 pm

Moozey

what breating treatment is he on YoBaby

12:08 pm

Moozey

and how old is he?

12:08 pm

YoBaby

He's taking Xopenex through the nebulizer. Just getting home from a brief hospital stay with pneumonia. He's two. It was scary.

12:08 pm

Layne

stidmama, eavesdropping on your conversation, and I agree wholeheartedly -- grandchildren having time alone with grandparents is an amazing thing, for both parties. (This coming from a grandmother of 6)

12:08 pm

stidmama

ROFL Jera -- with our elder son (teen) it's maps and school papers...

12:08 pm

Jera

Can't wait until Gwyd is old enough to join the fun, but he isn't fully potty trained yet & they are too old to deal with that...

12:09 pm

YoBaby

I tried talking to him about it, Mom. At the mere mention of the word, he starts screeching cuz he thinks he's about to get another one.

12:09 pm

stidmama

YoBaby, what a scary ordeal for you all! I hope that he (and you) will be okay.

12:09 pm

Layne

Ooh, sorry. Maybe you should try letting Tag give the breathing treatment.

12:09 pm

Jera

I think she stashes them so she will have something to actually do while she's supposed to be cleaning her room, stidmama... *shakes head*

12:09 pm

Moozey

That is scary YoBaby, my daughter is asthmatic and we have has similar problems

12:10 pm

stidmama

*nods head* sounds hauntingly familiar, Jera!

12:10 pm

YoBaby

That's sweet, Stid. We're living right and putting good things out into the universe. So the universe is gonna take good care of us!

12:10 pm

Moozey

though our hospital wouldn't let us have a nebuliser at home we had to go and stay in hospital every couple of weeks when her asthma was bad

12:10 pm

miametro

12:11 pm

Moozey

12:11 pm

Dorens

12:12 pm

12:59 pm

jaianniah

1. Te + past tense letters; 2. a person between the ages of 13 and 19; 3. plural that; 4. This is the beginning of a bunch of words all related- the root word is te + "THE E**". 5. Add er; 6. Plural that. 7. This is another family of words- start with many of the number after nine; 8. Add an "E" 9. Add an "S". 10. add the superlative ending- the most te5; 11. Take the number and add either, **- sounds like "oar" 12. Another family of words- a canvas home is a te**; 13. Plural it; 14. te+ the word that describes what horses do at a track- take out the "A" te***; 15. Plural it. 16. Sea bird- sounds like "Everyone, take your turn!" 17. add an "E" 18. Subtract the "E", add a "S"; 19. these words sound like words I've already given you clues for- only change the "C" to an "S" te 5/10; 20. The most of 19, a 7 letter word. There you go! Hope these help!

12:59 pm

2:25 pm

jaianniah

Click on the icon to the right of "My Friends" that brings up the whole chat from the flip onwards, then wait for it to load, then scroll to the time....

2:25 pm

mamabear

mamabear

I think you get the extras for about 2 weeks when you start playing - but then they go bye bye till you upgrade

2:29 pm

mamabear

ne 5/10 is like the word for a geek but with a different consonant in place of the d

2:29 pm

2:33 pm

YoBaby

Clues for either of the er 5/10s?

2:34 pm

Layne

er 5/10: (wow, I'm thinking)

2:35 pm

Layne

er 5:10: rhymes with plural of that bag women carry around with them.

2:35 pm

Layne

(but not spelled the same)

2:36 pm

hetty

Back from church, refreshed in a double sense, and Mamabear find my chatlog diminished too. Gremlins.

2:36 pm

Layne

er 5/10: e + a common flower

2:36 pm

Haz1558

The first er5/10 adds a well known flower to e. It is pluralised for er6/18. The other er5/10 looks like parts of a poem with the starting letter missing.

2:37 pm

Layne

Oh, thanks Haz! You are the best at giving clues.

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Thanks Layne - glad to help!

2:37 pm

YoBaby

Got 'em both. Thx!

2:39 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

2:39 pm

Sharidan

Can I ask how you knew that both of those words you needed started with er?

2:40 pm

Sharidan

couldn't they have started with en or ed?

2:40 pm

Sharidan

sorry I'm still learning

2:40 pm

Layne

Sharidan, if you go to the link at the bottom -- Lickety's -- you'll see a list of how many words start with each 2-letter combo. Very helpful!

2:41 pm

Sharidan

wow, thank you....that will be a big help!

2:41 pm

Haz1558

If you look under Friends of Babble, at the bottom of the page, then click on Lickety's babble clues, you'll find a list of second letters and point values. You can fill in the words you have already got, then see what you're missing.

2:41 pm

Layne

Some Babblers actually work the puzzle there, because there are boxes to fill in each word. Then, they transfer the results here because they want to stay in the rankings.

2:46 pm

Sharidan

I'm looking at it now. Now I see how you all know what to begin looking for. I've got 21 to go and hopefully this will help me get a little further!

2:46 pm

Layne

YoBaby, how are you getting along?

2:47 pm

ZOOP

I still can't get te7,28(the last one)

2:47 pm

Haz1558

Sharidan - it's a great way of checking if you've missed out any plurals as well.

2:47 pm

Minveryork

Good afternoon Everybody? How is everyone today?

2:47 pm

Layne

Sharidan, you can also "mine" the entire chat log for clues. I usually get several more words by doing that. To see it, just click on the little square icon just above the chatterbox.

2:47 pm

Haz1558

It's the superlative of the curt te5/10

2:48 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon Minveryork - this is a fun grid today.

2:48 pm

Layne

Hello, Minveryork. Doing quite well on this quiet afternoon. And you?

2:48 pm

Minveryork

I got half of the words listless. Now I am going to the list and the chat log for clues. It's a hard grid today.

2:49 pm

Beckzilla

eeee! I finished! And with only 1 clue!

2:49 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations!

2:49 pm

Layne

I've found it easier than the ones for the past three days or so, because it seems there are more "real" words. Good luck to you!

2:49 pm

Beckzilla

I can do clues for a bit, if folks need help!

2:49 pm

Layne

Good job, Beckzilla!

2:49 pm

schnee

Yay Beckzilla!

2:49 pm

Beckzilla

thank you

2:50 pm

Beckzilla

!

2:50 pm

YoBaby

I have 27 to go. I've never been so close!

2:51 pm

Layne

Great! Go, YoBaby, go!

2:52 pm

Layne

YoBaby, I have 11 left. I'm going to wait until you finish and then let you clue me.

2:52 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Beckzilla on your fireworks! Hooray!

2:53 pm

YoBaby

Don't even think about it, Layne. Cuz you know that the minute i have only six to go, Alex is going to wake up and demand my attention!

2:54 pm

Layne

Well, shoot. You should have the pleasure of cluing someone, on the first day you finish. Cluing is fun, and an art in itself.

2:54 pm

Minveryork

Layne,I don't know how it can be easier for you.You can only use letters on the bottom part of the grid!I do agree with you in that there are more real words.

2:55 pm

hannah lou

thats me finished by all

2:55 pm

Haz1558

hannah lou - well done and bye!

2:55 pm

Layne

Congrats, hannah lou!!

2:55 pm

YoBaby

I've clued a few times before. You finish. Then come over and help me cheat (I'll let you hold the grandbabies if you do)! ;-)

2:55 pm

Layne

YoBaby, hannah lou is 13 years old, and she's finished!!

2:55 pm

schnee

Yay Hannah Lou!

2:56 pm

Haz1558

hannah lou is a bit of a phenomenon - she's incredibly fast at solving these.

2:56 pm

Minveryork

Latne,you're right.Cluing is an art in itself. I haven't developed that talent yet.But I hope to soon though.

2:57 pm

Layne

Minver, I thought cluing would be easy until I tried to do it! I really messed up a few times -- giving too little info, giving too much, using other grid words in my clues, etc.

2:57 pm

YoBaby

Hannah Lou, you're an inspiration!

2:57 pm

Haz1558

Giving clues is part of the fun of babble.

2:57 pm

Sharidan

I need help on the last de 4/5

2:58 pm

Haz1558

The last de4/5 sounds like how you would start a letter and uses the letters of the Bambi word

2:58 pm

Layne

LOL, Haz!

2:58 pm

Minveryork

I love cluing, unfortunately, I am not fast enough.By the time I get my clue in, others have already given much better clues! I am glad there are so many good cluers because it helps me out a lot with the puzzle!

2:58 pm

Layne

You're good, Haz. I was sitting here thinking how to do it.

3:00 pm

Haz1558

I enjoy working out the clues but it can be hard to know how easy or difficult to make them. I love it when people get them!

3:01 pm

Minveryork

So speaking of clues, can I have a clue for sc 7/36?

3:01 pm

Minveryork

Never mind, I just got the sc 7/36 word. It'a real one

3:01 pm

Haz1558

sc7/36 is the past tense of sc5/12 - to pour derision on something..... but you've got it.

3:02 pm

hetty

Just found an error inLickety's list--the second "es" should be 6 letters, not 5--should I tell him or does it not matter?

3:03 pm

hetty

ops--foirget it. My page was skewed and there IS an es 5-sorry

3:03 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the co 6/24 word please

3:03 pm

Haz1558

I hadn't noticed that - es6/21, es7/32, es5/12

3:03 pm

Minveryork

I already have the co 6/24 that you eat on the cob.

3:03 pm

Sharidan

Actually I already have the de 4/5 you gave me the clue to. I still need one though. How do you know what order they are in when there are a number of de 4/5? I am looking at lickety, but that doesn't necessarily tell what order they are in. Unless I'm using it wrong.

3:04 pm

Minveryork

I think Lickety's list goes in alphabetical order,right?

3:05 pm

Haz1558

co6/24 is the plural of co5/14 - add french for dry if you know it, or the first three letters of a part/segment. Pluralise it for co6/24

3:05 pm

pam

sheridan--don't know how to use the list, but do you have the d 4/5 that sounds like a college adiministrator?

3:05 pm

Haz1558

If you say the last de4/5 that places it on the list.

3:05 pm

Sharidan

I got that one too

3:06 pm

Sharidan

let me look at lickety again to see what I'm missing

3:06 pm

pam

and the pesticide?

3:06 pm

Minveryork

There are 2 co 5/14 words & I don't have either one.

3:07 pm

pam

haz gave you the clue for one, Minver, the other is past tense of an apple co**

3:07 pm

Haz1558

co5/14 - indicating that there is a co4/5 in an apple. I have clued the other one.

3:08 pm

Minveryork

The d word that sounds like an administrator doesn't work. It said that it was not found in the dictionary.

3:08 pm

pam

it's a Hawaiian goose, Minver

3:08 pm

hetty

Tips for the ne5, please?

3:09 pm

shorty

i have a 4 letter word thats is 105pts LOL

3:09 pm

Haz1558

de4/4 - the college administrator sound-alike uses the letters of the requiring ne4/5

3:11 pm

ronnielee

CR 6/21 & CO 6/21(not he corpse)

3:12 pm

Haz1558

ne5/10 - hetty - you know the word used for studious people/geeks? Replace the d with t and pluralise.

3:12 pm

Haz1558

cr6/21 - add a vowel to the preceding cr5/12 (angry_

3:12 pm

Ping

cr 6/21 is the same as the one above it with a vowel added to the end

3:13 pm

Ping

co 6/21 is like a trumpet

3:13 pm

Haz1558

co6/21 - musical instrument or container for ice cream

3:13 pm

ronnielee

nrkii

yw magzel

5:47 pm

ShadeEagle

I think I blew through the grid in ...maybe slightly over an hour? I dunno, it was close.

5:47 pm

hetty

I thought we were thinking as one again. Don't you use "snap" as a way of pointing out simultaneity?

5:48 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the te 6/21 word please

5:48 pm

nrkii

hetty, never heard "snap" used that way ... maybe a regional thing?

5:48 pm

C Starling

almost typed in a word.. he he he move cursor over...

5:49 pm

ShadeEagle

te 6/21 - plural of the te 5/12 before it.

5:49 pm

nrkii

te 6/21 is either plural of te 5/12 that sounds like abrupt

5:49 pm

hetty

It comes from a card game we used to play as children. Sorry to have mystified you--lol

5:49 pm

nrkii

or, soft and vulnerable

5:49 pm

Lara226

5:49 pm

nrkii

5:50 pm

nrkii

Lara, c + color (one of the flag colors) + tree

5:50 pm

C Starling

the cr 7 color is my sisters initials

5:50 pm

Minveryork

I don't have the te 5/12 before the te 6/21 yet guys

5:51 pm

nrkii

minver, sounds exactly like the last te 5/10

5:51 pm

ShadeEagle

5:52 pm

hetty

5:53 pm

ShadeEagle

5:53 pm

nrkii

Kim Novak - Vertigo Ping?

5:53 pm

Ping

any guidane on EN 6/18

5:53 pm

Ping

yes, nrkii - i love vertigo

5:53 pm

nrkii

en 6 18 is main dish at restaurant

5:54 pm

Cathyar

en6/18 = part of a meal

5:54 pm

hetty

comes from the French for "between"

5:54 pm

Ping

is the birds your fave or are you shooting for the coolest photo of the man himself?

5:54 pm

Minveryork

Ping, en 6/18- en plus the plant that leaves grow on.

5:54 pm

nrkii

the birds is def one of my favorites -- most campy I'd say

5:54 pm

hetty

tyhe big plant

5:55 pm

Ping

thanks, everyone - got it - i think i've missed that word on at least two previous grids - pass a fish!

5:55 pm

Cathyar

ummm...minver...leaves do grow on most plants...last i heard

5:55 pm

nrkii

I was def looking for "the birds" when I went icon hunting

5:55 pm

nrkii

lol good point cathyar

5:55 pm

Ping

i was seeking kim novak

5:56 pm

Minveryork

So how would you classify what I thought was a plant

5:56 pm

Minveryork

Once again, proof that I am clueless at giving clues!

5:57 pm

Cathyar

um.... it's not a bush...it's not a shrub...but it's a tr4/4

5:57 pm

nrkii

funny thing about vertigo, I remember my dad telling me about this amazing scene where Jimmy Stewart pulls Kim Novak out of the water by grabbing her under her double-d's, and I've never watched the movie the same way since...

5:57 pm

nrkii

min, not so!

5:58 pm

Cathyar

but we got the idea...those of us who already had the word.

5:58 pm

Ping

yjsy

5:58 pm

Cathyar

sorry...i'm clueless at pickin up on some of the clues. lol

5:58 pm

nrkii

I read the clue exactly the way you meant it. Different people read clues different ways, and what works for some doesnt work for others.

5:58 pm

Minveryork

I know that it is a tr 4/4, but what is that classified?

5:58 pm

Ping

interesting - i've seen vertigo many times and that scene is not one that stays with me at all

5:59 pm

ElfWord

Did you know that tr 4/4 can be past-tensed?

5:59 pm

Cathyar

i think ...not being an agriculrate, but i think they are classified as tr4/4's

5:59 pm

hetty

Please, nrk, what on earth are double d's?A babble term?

5:59 pm

nrkii

hetty, breasts, large ones, kim novak sized

5:59 pm

Ping

there's an obscure/wonderful french film by chris marker called sans soleil - have you heard of it? in it an interesting reading of vertigo and the image of the spiral, time, memory

6:00 pm

Cathyar

sounds like too much drug use ping

6:00 pm

magzel

need 2 to finish pleeeease. te 5/10 amd te 6/18, the second one. thanks

6:00 pm

hetty

Elf it's actually a past participle used as an adjective more often than an active verb--but dogs can tr** a bear

6:00 pm

Ping

so many things do, cathyar!

6:00 pm

hetty

Oh, I see. My own are E's then

6:01 pm

ElfWord

te 5/10 is very short and abrubt. Very *****.

6:01 pm

nrkii

lol hetty

6:01 pm

hetty

and rather li ke the owrd for a verb form

6:02 pm

ElfWord

te 6/18 - You gain more points by putting words in this game into different ******es. Adding 'd', or 'ing'.

6:03 pm

magzel

6:03 pm

nrkii

yay magzel!

6:04 pm

ElfWord

6:05 pm

magzel

6:06 pm

ElfWord

6:08 pm

ShadeEagle

6:13 pm

Cat9x

The Birds is very campy, but a wonderful thriller :)

6:13 pm

libarebel

janet leigh screaming was a bit too scary!

6:13 pm

ElfWord

OMG, I'm so dense. I'm even eating the things at the diner where I'm at, and I still couldn't figure it out.

6:13 pm

magzel

6:13 pm

Cat9x

Remember Tha Alfred Hitchcock Hour?

6:14 pm

6:15 pm

Minveryork

I thought a tree was a plant,but I was told otherwise

6:15 pm

libarebel

I've seen the birds so many times... every time the birds attack, the attacks are preceded by a bird insult!

6:16 pm

nrkii

what years was the AH hour on?

6:16 pm

Cat9x

lol

6:16 pm

nrkii

min, a tr** is a plant!

6:16 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations magzel on your fireworks!Good for U

6:16 pm

Cat9x

sometime in the late fifties, early 60's I believe?

6:16 pm

nrkii

I think the comment was that you said en + the plant with leaves, and someone pointed out that other plants have leaves too

6:16 pm

libarebel

as in the gas statin blowing up... a waitress said 2 southern fried chickens coming right up!

6:16 pm

Cat9x

6:21 pm

libarebel

if you change the file extension to png, it gets small...

6:21 pm

nrkii

Minveryork, what clues do you need? Please don't let us tease you into silence! :)

6:22 pm

nrkii

see, now this I didn't know, tx lib

6:23 pm

Cat9x

I just downsize the pic I want, and change it to a jpeg, works everytime.

6:23 pm

Cat9x

I didn't know that either, thanks Lib :)

6:23 pm

6:29 pm

Vicuna

Boy, I'm sorry to have made you think you were a swiss-cheese brain! But of course I do encourage you to get to my site! lol

6:30 pm

Dear Warren,

jaianniah

Hi, all! Quickly, before my server goes down again, I am having trouble eith the Internet...Please pass this along to the night crew when and if I am not there- I am Okay, but the DSL line is bad...Thanks

6:32 pm

Vicuna

I understand that you are having a problem with excess money...

6:33 pm

Vicuna

(That was a message for Warren Buffet, not you, jaianniah!)

6:34 pm

nrkii

Dear Warren, How are you? I am fine. I have been a very good girl this year. I understand that you are having a problem with excess money (thanks for that Vicuna). That can be a troubling problem. I would like to offer my help. Please send me 3 million dollars -- I mean 30 million dollars -- via cashiers check. I promise to make good use of your money. You could not find a more deserving or grateful girl to give your money to in the whole wide world. Thank you, and happy giving. NRK

6:34 pm

6:36 pm

Vicuna

It's always touchy these days, whether or not to be formal with strangers.

6:37 pm

jaianniah

I think it should be "Dearest, Sweetest, Mr. Buffet...."

6:37 pm

nrkii

See, I started out as Sally from Peanuts doing a Dear Santa letter, but I ended a bit more adult, so I'm torn....

6:37 pm

Vicuna

Or possibly simply "Your Exellency"

6:38 pm

Cat9x

Nrkii, JUst tell him he is HOT, that always works, Dear My Hotty,

Warren, if you have any of your staff out there trolling the internet watching the chatter about you, I just want to point out that I have maintained all appropriate respect for you, and that I am still a very very very deserving girl.

6:41 pm

nrkii

I am not responsible for the lack of propriety of those around me.

6:41 pm

Cat9x

Oh come on nrkii, you know you want to call him Mr HotMoneybags SIR!

6:42 pm

Hey, Mr Buffet, nrkii may be a gold-digger, but only in the nicest and most deserving way possible! (or does that not help your cause...?)

6:42 pm

your recent conversation remindsd me of a idea for the babbler store: vouchers for free words, not just clues, when you are down to your last three (grid below 200) or last 5 words (grids above 200)

7:02 pm

Cat9x

we use ***** to blank out letters that are for the clued word, so people can get them on their own...like someone wants ap5/15 lets say, we say like Johny Ap***seed

7:03 pm

aknitter

free words! great

7:03 pm

SeaDove

7:35 pm

7:35 pm

7:37 pm

Minveryork

Oh boy I'm really messing up now! I am seeing things and calling people the wrong gender! Sorry Jee Whiz!

7:37 pm

aknitter

7:37 pm

JeeWhiz

I mean really Minver! I think that I look like a girl in my icon......?

7:37 pm

hetty

No I'm not TWD. I had a litle drink about an hour ago--then a phone call from my beloved youngest child in Oz turned my hands to jelly

7:38 pm

stidmama

hetty- is your child okay?

7:38 pm

JeeWhiz

Do you have the Elvis song "Love Me Te****? and its plural?

7:39 pm

hetty

7:39 pm

aknitter

i have those jee whiz, don't have the goruping after the jaw tightener

7:40 pm

Minveryork

I'm still on sc words.I need both sc 6/24 words please

7:40 pm

inge

te 7's are both superlatives, in case you are looking

7:40 pm

nrkii

hetty, all okay?

7:40 pm

stidmama

Thanks for the elucidation, miss hetty! I admit to have been somewhat more confused than normal...

7:40 pm

JeeWhiz

Minver, change the final consonant on the sc6/21 that sounds like a door.

7:40 pm

libarebel

I'm (almost) sure en*** was rejected earlier...

7:40 pm

nrkii

sc 6 24 = s + belief

7:41 pm

hetty

Yes, she's fine thanks Stid, but so loving and so far away, I always weep for a while afterwards. We promised to be watching the soccer at 7 a.m. our time tomoow to see the Ozzies win yet another game

7:41 pm

JeeWhiz

The other sc6/24 is past tense for sc 5/12

7:41 pm

nrkii

sc 6/24 = got a goal, or home run

7:42 pm

hetty

Yes Geeewhiz--like tr** and tr**d

7:42 pm

JeeWhiz

Oh sorry, aknitter, forgot about the memo again.

7:42 pm

stidmama

okay, I understand. Mamas love their babies... I hope the Australian team does itself proud in the world cup...

7:42 pm

nrkii

hetty, good to hear that everythings okay -- I understand about the weeping, feel same sometimes when I leave my parents house

7:42 pm

aknitter

7:42 pm

aknitter

7:43 pm

libarebel

got 97--1249 points...

7:43 pm

hetty

Whereas sc7 adds an "n" to express something more like the sn***well

7:43 pm

JeeWhiz

te 6/18 looks like number (plural) plus either/**

7:43 pm

FranMag

aknitter, it's a type of muscle, sounds like more te5/10, but change last vowel to O

7:44 pm

hetty

do you have a sen***? Well this is like that, only with a "t" Think bandage

7:45 pm

aknitter

8:02 pm

nrkii

hi feather!

8:02 pm

featherbee

we did the second coat on all but the dining room, and i got a start on washing walls :)

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

nrkii

st 6 = road, avenue

8:03 pm

pam

yup

8:03 pm

featherbee

nope, we moved in 3 or 4 years ago, but i have a 2 year old, so hadn't gotten all my projects done before i got pg.

8:03 pm

nrkii

s + belief minus last letter?

8:03 pm

pam

you know, if i get it, i get it, if not, that's okay, too as the game is fun

8:04 pm

featherbee

washing walls because i had cheap candles that let off tons of soot in one corner

8:04 pm

pam

sounds like it is great you got to it, feather

8:04 pm

nrkii

se 6 that is something I have to keep quiet?

8:04 pm

featherbee

8:05 pm

pam

8:05 pm

nrkii

8:06 pm

stidmama

the only walls in our house that are still white are the ones where I don't have the money yet to change them...

8:06 pm

featherbee

i'm doing "golden tan" in the living room, and "emerald something" in the dining room, with one accent wall of the green in the living room. have green curtains and pillows, so the two rooms should flow nicely

8:07 pm

nrkii

I have cans and cans of paint for my house, but haven't yet had time to get the painting done

8:07 pm

Minveryork

I can't seem to do this!My husband keeps getting me side tracked.I can't remember what clue I asked for.

8:07 pm

featherbee

it's not truly emerald green, more of a dusty green

8:07 pm

nrkii

I hope I don't change my mind about the colors !

8:07 pm

pam

8:08 pm

8:08 pm

8:08 pm

pam

8:08 pm

featherbee

10:26 pm

FranMag

okay, i've changed for tomorrow too

there is a bit of romance to appeal to our female wiles...but...the violence is less than appealling.

10:27 pm

11:02 pm

jillibus

Hi all -- yes, stid and hetty, lovely warm day here at last. I had a refreshing swim in the sea -- first time this year but not the last!

11:02 pm

flosey

well, hot cup of tea works, so why not hot tub

11:03 pm

jillibus

hi flosey

11:03 pm

flosey

hi jilli

11:03 pm

stidmama

hello again flosey, hi Jill! enjoy your dip, hetty!

11:03 pm

flosey

very proud of my 70 words today - still much to learn about these words

11:04 pm

jillibus

Good for you, flosey -- keep at it!

11:04 pm

stidmama

good for you, flosey! do you want any help to get more?

11:04 pm

flosey

how can one stop now !!!

11:05 pm

flosey

thanks stid, don't really know where to begin

11:05 pm

stidmama

that's the spirit, flosey! LOL are you using one of the lists to help you find the words?

11:06 pm

jillibus

You have almost an hour left, flosey - stid's a great helper and I'll try too -- finished before lunch today

11:06 pm

debbinla

you're doing great with 70 !

11:06 pm

flosey

have tried lickety

11:06 pm

flosey

amazing jilli

11:06 pm

flosey

really need to learn more in order to know what to ask

11:07 pm

jillibus

I use everything available and the AtoZ lists on lickety's page are a BIG help

11:07 pm

stidmama

okay, the first thing I do with Lickety's list is see if I have all the words in any category. for example, today there were 15 CO words...

11:08 pm

flosey

ok, i have 12 of them

11:08 pm

flosey

will check it out

11:08 pm

stidmama

I discovered that if I enter the words into the "add word" box at the top of Lickety's page, they automatically go into the correct place in his list... which lets me know which words I still need.

11:08 pm

debbinla

i try to do 1/2 or more without licketys list - then i plug them all in (which lickety has made very easy) and then theres tons more you can just figure out

11:09 pm

esquian

I need a clue for my last word coming off the third t in the middle column. I have the following already - tr4/4 (both),tr5/12 (both),tr5/10,tr6/18. Any clues would be much appreciated!

11:09 pm

flosey

great thanks for the suggestions

11:09 pm

flosey

unfortunately I have to stop now but will use these tomorrow

11:09 pm

debbinla

esquian - what a beautiful baby!!

11:10 pm

stidmama

we'll see you tomorrow flosey! have a lovely evening.

11:10 pm

esquian

thanks, debbinla! :) I think so! :)

11:10 pm

stidmama

ditto what debb just said...

11:10 pm

flosey

thanks everyone

11:11 pm

esquian

thanks, too, stidmama!

11:11 pm

jillibus

Isn't this great, flosey? See you at bridge

11:11 pm

stidmama

esquian, I am trying to figure out which words you might be missing....

11:12 pm

esquian

It's only one. I have 6 of the 7 and I'm assuming it starts with tr...

11:12 pm

stidmama

there are three tr 4/4 off that letter, esquian.

11:13 pm

stidmama

I think you are missing the intersection of the other two tr 4/4...

11:13 pm

stidmama

It looks like the gait of a horse only with a different vowel.

11:13 pm

esquian

THANK YOU, STIDMAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got it!

11:14 pm

stidmama

*grin*

11:14 pm

esquian

That one's been driving me crazy for a good 10 minutes now

11:14 pm

stidmama

next puzzling query?

11:15 pm

stidmama

Jill -- did you have a nice, quiet day since you didn't have to be at the gallery? I realized, with the age of some of the photos on your son's site that he must be around my parents' ages...

11:15 pm

esquian

I could use a hint for a word coming off the n at the top of the second column from the right... I assume it's an ne word. I have one, but don't have the other.

11:16 pm

stidmama

brb bedtime kisses needed...

11:17 pm

stidmama

okay, there is a redunant ne word (repetitious?) ne 4/4

11:17 pm

jillibus

Thanks, stid, I did. My little boy is now an unbelieveable 57, but he doesn't look it. It was all so hectic I didn't ake any pix of the gang but may email you one form a coupe of years ago at Christmas

11:18 pm

stidmama

it is NOT a palindrome, I musta tryed that for a gazillion times before I figured it out!

11:18 pm

esquian

pardon my lack of grammar knowledge....what's a palindrome again?

11:18 pm

stidmama

My cousin who is visiting with his mother is 57! he's actually my mother's first cousin.

11:18 pm

stidmama

palindrome reads the same backwards and forwards

11:19 pm

jillibus

I sae earlier that the ne4?4 is a Hawaiian goose

11:19 pm

stidmama

I can hardly believe any of us are "getting on" in so many years... seems since my birthday I notice stuff like that!

11:20 pm

esquian

got it! Thanks

11:20 pm

stidmama

oh, that's right, Jill -- it's been in the grid several times since I started, but I never remember what it means.

11:20 pm

jillibus

My typing isn't getting any better, moan!

11:21 pm

esquian

OK...gotta get to bed. It's 12:20 on the east coast. Thanks for the clues! Have a good one, all.

11:21 pm

debbinla

11:21 pm

stidmama

11:22 pm

jillibus

11:22 pm

stidmama

I dropped out for a moment there... the galoot of a dog wanted to play babble too! LOL

11:23 pm

kierlex

11:23 pm

jillibus

Oh, the doggy memories! If my dear old Imp (the Gt Dane) were here I know he'd be pushing his head under my arm as I type.

11:24 pm

ElfWord

11:24 pm

stidmama

11:25 pm

Cathyar

I'm done....off to bed ;)

11:25 pm

ElfWord

Looks like I'm ending at 96 words then, I'

11:25 pm

stidmama

the first co 6/21 is the trumpet-like horn. right before that is the type of beef that we irish eat for St Paddy's day (6/24)

11:25 pm

ElfWord

*I'm tapped out.

11:25 pm

jillibus

Wow, Cath! that was superfast!

11:25 pm

kierlex

ahh got those 2, thanks for the clues they were great

11:26 pm

stidmama

after the horn is the plural of the second co 4/5, then drop the fourth letter and end with the second vowel for another 5/12, then plural that for another 6/21

11:26 pm

stidmama

good night Cath ---

11:26 pm

cheeto44

i just got all 119 words for the first time... isn't something supposed to happen then?

11:26 pm

stidmama

Elf, I understand. You made really good progress today!

11:26 pm

Cathyar

no....not done as in fireworks...but done...tired...goin to dream of Mel Gibson in Braveheart!.....ahhhh lovely dreams.

11:27 pm

jillibus

cheeto, I think you need to go pro to get the FIREWORKS you deserve!

11:27 pm

stidmama

then comes a 5/14 that is a math term: co +abbreviation for small unit of time (1/60 of a minute), then plural for the next 6/24

11:27 pm

ElfWord

Aha, 97! Trumpet-like horn indeed. And thanks, stidmama.

11:28 pm

jillibus

Cath - where in Canada are you?

11:28 pm

cheeto44

that stinks. that was my first solve ever.

11:28 pm

stidmama

the last two co 5/12 are the plural of the flower so common in June only start with a C; and then plural the "price" word for the last CO 5/12

11:28 pm

stidmama

cheeto44 -- we used to give finishers our own.

>~>~>~>~>FIREWORKS<~<~<~<~<~

11:29 pm

kierlex

what is the first co 5/12? ya'll are too dang fast for slow old moi

11:29 pm

stidmama

well done

*~*~*cheeto44*~*~*

11:30 pm

stidmama

the first co 5/12 is plural the second co 4/5: a large grain also known as maize

11:30 pm

jillibus

kier - sore spots on your toes for the first co5/12 I think

11:30 pm

stidmama

oh -- clued like one who knows, Jill! LOL one of my grandmother suffered from those. not fun at all.

11:30 pm

kierlex

ok i have all the co's thank you very much! now about the cr... (except the cr5/14)

11:31 pm

stidmama

the cr 7 mean "believing"

11:31 pm

melonheadjujube

phantom word of the day - corset

11:31 pm

stidmama

cr 7: cr + vowel + a "ding" in a car

11:32 pm

stidmama

my phantom was "cosset" for some strange reason (not even sure what it means, but kept trying it!)

11:32 pm

jillibus

me too, stid!

11:32 pm

kierlex

thanks stid...

11:32 pm

stidmama

then two spellings for a line that goes over another one for the 5/12 and 6/21 (the 6 adds a vowel ot the 5)

11:32 pm

hetty

melon, take the "t" off and t's not phasntom at all!Back all drippy, everyone

11:33 pm

stidmama

11:33 pm

jillibus

11:33 pm

kierlex

jeez, they are so obvious once you point them out. dorky dorky kierlex

11:34 pm

stidmama

not dorky, dear! just working at it a bit late!

11:34 pm

hetty

Stid, to cosset is to indulge with fussy parental or marital care--to spoil, over-nurture

11:34 pm

stidmama

my last word as the or 4/5 that is the non-human badguys in Lord of the Rings...

11:35 pm

hetty

Cooler, yes. Cool, no

11:35 pm

jillibus

Oh, to be cosseted!

11:35 pm

stidmama

oh -- no wonder I didn't know it! Never had that around here... LOL

11:36 pm

kierlex

nobody can cosset a mom it seems =( (said as a harried frazzled mommy of 2)

11:37 pm

hetty

it seems to me ,Stid ,you were grateful for the cosseting you got from Tom yesterday. You seem fine again today, I'm glad to note.

11:37 pm

stidmama

okay, I admit it. Tom makes up for any hard times I had in my previous life -- or the three pervious incarnations as well!

11:38 pm

stidmama

kierlex, how are you doing on the words? need any more help/'

11:38 pm

kierlex

11:39 pm

Cathyar

11:39 pm

stidmama

11:39 pm

kierlex

well, my hubby is not a cossetting kind of guy so i will have to cosset myself =)

11:40 pm

Cathyar

(i speak from experience)...

11:40 pm

kierlex

ohlord i really admire single moms because it is quite an adventure with 2 parents but at least you can get a break if necessary (like tonight when my hubby made me go downstairs to escape because i was being CUJO MOMMY)

11:40 pm

stidmama

kierlex, if you ever come to this side of our mountains, I will be happy to cosset you as much as you can stand. you too, Cathy -- I have single-mommy friends and admire them so much.

11:40 pm

jillibus

and, kier, I had a hubby who cosseted me no end and I miss him

11:41 pm

kierlex

oh i'm sorry jillibus =(

11:41 pm

stidmama

My grandad, bless his soul, was gentle and loving -- like my Tom. We all miss him, too.

11:41 pm

hetty

11:42 pm

jillibus
