Haz1558

Good morning FMitch - I'm an early bird today! Too warm to sleep, plus Spangle wanted out of her kennel.

1:49 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, it's going to be a warm one today!! How are you finding the grid so far or have you just started?

1:50 am

Haz1558

I've been going for a little while. It's tricky but some nice words emerging.

1:52 am

FMitch

I keep thinking the words are about to dry up and then I spot another one.

1:53 am

wassup

Done! goodnight!

1:53 am

Haz1558

I think when it's a smaller word total you don't feel under the same pressure to find words quickly. Most of mine are individuals, just one sequence so far.

1:53 am

Haz1558

Good night wassup.

1:54 am

FMitch

Would that be the 3c's Haz?

1:54 am

The Student

What - no 'liony'?

1:55 am

Haz1558

The three c's indeed.

1:55 am

The Student

limon

1:55 am

FMitch

'Cos enable lives in a world of it's own Student!

1:55 am

Haz1558

Although, I suppose the ey4 words should count.

1:57 am

The Student

I hate O words.

1:58 am

FMitch

Funnily enough I was just looking at the o's I have managed 1 so far.

1:58 am

Haz1558

1:59 am

atropos

1:59 am

hfelton

1:59 am

atropos

lol thanks felton, didn't have that one yet

1:59 am

bullridingbarbie

I got 27 words, and am stuck. Darn it.

1:59 am

The Student

O should be like Q. It should come with a second letter. Much easier.

2:01 am

FMitch

Thanks, now I have 2 x o!!

2:01 am

Munner

yono

2:01 am

Munner

I am finding the O's much easier than the Y's.

2:01 am

Munner

I am finding the O's much easier than the Y's.

atropos

2:12 am

atropos

if you have one, the other is a vowel off

2:12 am

Haz1558

ey4/6 and ey5/14 - looks like a literary heroine's surname, but are apparently circuit courts held by mediaeval itinerant judges in England. Educational game or what?

2:13 am

FMitch

LOL

2:17 am

FMitch

ye4/10 and pl - sounds like "To throw or toss with a quick abrupt motion" or "A dull and stupid person"

2:18 am

2:24 am

FMitch

Look at the f in the in the bottom corner there is a 4 letter word right there

2:26 am

Munner

adam1, we all only had 4 works when we first started looking. Exercise a little patience and alot of hunting.

2:26 am

Haz1558

Adam - look for some words beginning with ey. Also look for a type of Indian boat. There's a jungle animal in there, what happens to your teeth if you eat too many sweets, and a word for ghostly or scary.

2:26 am

adam1

Does it go FE

2:26 am

hydra

Have a look at Babblers Anonymous beneath the grid. Keep clicking general till you get a list of today's words - the start letter and number of letters in the word. And work from there! That's what I do, once I can't find any more by myself. Or look at Licketys Babble Clues. Link beneath grid.

2:47 am

adam1

2:47 am

hfelton: don't forget the plural.

2:48 am

hfelton

adam1

hfelton I asked you a question

2:57 am

Haz1558

adam - stop typing in the same thing over again. You'll annoy people and they won't respond.

2:57 am

adam1

Stop telling me that

2:57 am

adam1

I know

2:57 am

hfelton

my clue was for the ca5/12 word which is an am.indian boat.

Make it plural (add an s). oc5/12 - lots of water, like the Atlantic or Pacific. dy4/8 when hair is coloured it is this. ca5/12 - the indian boat, then make it plural, and make it past tense of a verb.

3:00 am

3:01 am

Ray100

I think you're wasting your time trying to be polite to adam1, he (presumably) is obviously determined to upset people. Just ignore him & eventually he'll go away.

3:02 am

Flask1

Well said Ray!

3:02 am

hfelton

thx ray - wilco

3:02 am

Jencatd

Agreed, Ray.

3:03 am

Haz1558

Ray - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt so far, as he may be young and not aware of the etiquette here. We'll see if the behaviour improves, if not, I can ignore with the best of them!

3:03 am

sprite

But thanks for the sea clue, Haz, had not spotted that yet ;)

3:04 am

adam1

what's the indian boat I can't find it. pls tell me

3:04 am

Preethi

Thanks Sprite

3:58 am

sprite

Makes me want to put 'bo' at the end.

3:59 am

Haz1558

That would make sense FranMag, otherwise it would be a real mouth mangler rather than a tongue twister.

Holiday of dreams though, eh? Will you do a balloon trip to see the animals?

5:08 am

FranMag

kate, keep yourself cool! can't believe the heatwave you all are having in the mainland.

If you need it - Clues are Up! I'm not going to be able to do it tommorrow - I'm away. Gotta run! enjoy.

5:08 am

FranMag

night adam!

5:08 am

Haz1558

I know! We've been warned to have long sleeves and trousers etc. My only worry is that we have a very restricted luggage allowance on the internal flights, so I'm going to have to be ruthless and take the bare essentials. The balloon trip sounds wonderful, but opinion seems to be divided about it - too hight up and you see nothing, too low and the animals leg it.

5:08 am

adam1

I'm in Australia

5:09 am

Haz1558

Lickety - many thanks as always!

5:09 am

FranMag

hi lickety! bye lickety!

5:09 am

FMitch

Hi and bye Lickety and thanks

5:09 am

Jacula

Hi and 'bye Adam and Lickety.

5:10 am

Jacula

Haz - unless it has to be pre-booked (the balloon trip) perhaps you can decide once there?

5:10 am

Jacula

Haz - I'm not v. good at travelling light so I sympathise about the luggage allowances!

5:11 am

FranMag

don't know if you can get in the UK, but Nike makes a material called dri-fit that wicks sweat away from your skin so you can have long sleeved things that will still keep you cool.

5:12 am

Kateq

thank you--trying to stay cool--it's already aabout 80 degrees at 6 am . Will be 100 or more today

5:12 am

Know that feeling, Kate!

5:13 am

pam

morning all!

5:13 am

FranMag

hi pam!

5:13 am

Haz1558

Somehow it's not the clothes that I worry about so much as toiletries etc. I'll have to find sample sizes of things. We'll see about the balloon trip when we're there. It's been fun watching 'Bit Cat Diary' as it gives a real flavour of what we'll see. If I spot Toto, the baby cheetah, I'll let you know.

5:13 am

Haz1558

BIg Cat diary - my typing is degenerating.

5:14 am

Atalante

just buy some small empty toiletries bottles, Haz and decant into them ...

5:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning pam, by the way.

5:14 am

pam

Haz--can you make sample sizes in containers of your own?

5:14 am

Atalante

and hi :)

5:14 am

FranMag

i was going to suggest the same thing atalante!

5:15 am

FMitch

Haz, I used to travel a lot, go to somewhere like Boots, or Superdrug, they sell small empty plastic bottles that you can decant your shampoo, moisturisers, cleansers etc into.

5:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, some of the chemists do little bottles for decanting, so I'll probably do that.

5:15 am

Atalante

Boots definitely do them

5:15 am

pam

I have also used small, resealable plastic bags as they take up less room

5:15 am

FMitch

Hi Atalante
LOL all great minds on the same thought!

5:16 am

Jacula

Haz - Superdrug also do those little empty travel bottles.

5:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, and being a dedicated Boots shopper, I have quite a few samples built up of products I use anyway. Sam's problem is going to be shoes. Any thoughts on reducing men's shoes?

5:16 am

Jacula

You need full-size suncream and after-sun though. And shower gel.

5:16 am

Haz1558

And insect repellent!

5:17 am

Jacula

Haz - Paul wore his heavy shoes and only packed sandals and sandshoes.

5:17 am

Atalante

pair of sandal type things that are comfy to walk in, pair of proper shoes. the end :P

5:17 am

pam

love that icon, atalante!

5:17 am

Haz1558

We had a laugh picturing the pair of us wearing as many clothes as we could manage - a pair of Michelin men staggering onto a tiny plane.

5:17 am

FranMag

you'll robably get more than in a regular travel-sized item from manufacturer.

5:18 am

Jacula

Ata - I've just nicked your icon - love it!:-)

5:18 am

Jacula

Haz - Paul and I thought of that, too. LOL.

5:18 am

Atalante

fab isn't it :D

5:19 am

pam

and oh so true! 8-)

5:19 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

5:19 am

Atalante

you can certainly end up tying a coat / jumper / both round your waist while travelling ... and you might even be able to lock some stuff away in the hotel in nairobi while you're out safari-ing

5:19 am

Jacula

When is Enable going to learn that 'drey' is a squirrel's nest??

5:20 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping that is the case (pardon the pun) Atalante. It'll be grand.

5:21 am

Atalante

have you got the lonely planet guide? they generally say where places are that you canleave luggage safely

5:22 am

Haz1558

No, I haven't, Atalante. We're going on a package and hoping that the tour operator will sort us out.

5:22 am

6:45 am

Jacula

aircon isn't standard in UK houses. Might become so if things keep warming up, though. We have to rely on fans in every room.

6:45 am

Jacula

Rosalind - have you got a tower fan? They're great.

6:46 am

abe79

Jacula- I prefer fans also. I grew up w/o air conditioning and it usually makes me feel cold

6:46 am

marso

im still in work...dread to think what my house is like

6:46 am

rosalind230

Yes its ver good. I am glad I bought it at the weekend. We have ceiling fans as well.

6:46 am

Jacula

ch - it's time we took our teeth out and found a book. (Icon theme).

6:47 am

Aircon dries both you and the air out. When in Crete for last fortnight we only used it in short bursts. I remember it used to make us ill at work, too.

Here's a wonderful quote from Gibran speaking on Friendship (to you fellow babblers): "And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

Atalante, we have most of Karen Armstrong's books -- I have gone through 3 copies of "History of God" because I keep lending it and don't get it back! (What's ironic is I have lent it out to 2 ministers!)

Thanks, Dorens.

They are a bit of an enigma Dorens, whats up?

9:18 am

ch1212

Tiny I had one like that the other day, and some babblers assured me it would all come out in the wash at the end... which it did.

Dorens, the Babbler's Anonymous site has a full explanation and chat about the rankings

9:18 am

Dorens

My summer project is to complete every puzzle for 30 days in a row...Ihave completed them all in the last three weeks, save one (july 5..dayPhoebe was born). evrey day my rank goes up by three points. I completed yesterday's (know I got firewrorks), but today i have had three points subtracted. Not the most important thing in the world, but....

9:22 am

I am as puzzled by the rankings stuff as you, Dorens :)

Gee FMitch, do you think we should tell him that the problems with the grid today have NOTHING to do with speed? :D It's a toughie

9:26 am

FMitch

Anj, sorry should have said server is fine but words are well hidden but it is a fun grid none the less.

9:26 am

9:31 am

Vicuna

Dorens, I don't understand the rankings either, and was always frustrated when I was watching them and had your situation. But I always assumed that it had to do with how many other people's rankings were going up. So if I finished a grid that "everyone" else finished, too, it might not be enough to hold up my relative score. But ultimately, who the heck knows!

log hiccup

10:31 am

Anj

lady, neither did we! : s Our weather is weird at the moment though. Almost tropical...including the storms that follow a hot spell

10:31 am

ladynoire1013

I live in NC, in the southern US, and we're supposed to get to 100 or so today, which is pretty hot but not unusual

10:31 am

ladynoire1013

You can send those storms our way - we need the rain

10:31 am

Babbler

yep. tropical storms due on Thurs, Anj. : /

10:32 am

FMitch

Babbler can I have some of that ice cream before it melts - just plonk what ever you have most of on my head pretty please.

10:32 am

Babbler

ladynoire, want to hear something ridiculous? in the south east, we're having a drought....not cos it hasn't rained, but because the water companies won't repair pipes!!

10:33 am

Babbler

*plonks lots of lovely vanilla ice cream on FMitch's head* Very good for the scalp and hair, I understand. ; )

10:35 am

FMitch

ladynoire - welcome to some of the madness that is local government. My local water authority is loosing 800,000 litres of water a day through cracked pipes and we have been on a hose pipe ban for almost 3 months now

10:35 am

gramma

co5 more of a flirt

10:36 am

Anj

...nd of course, we won't mention Thams Waters' profits... } (

10:36 am

Babbler

it's more than that, FMitch. I'm sure of it. That must be the 'official' figure. Disgusting whatever it is.

10:36 am

ladynoire1013

yeah, Bureaucracy!!!

10:37 am

Babbler

yes, Anj. And they're so tight, they won't pay for repairs. They're saying if we want repairs, we have to pay for them ourselves. : /

10:37 am

TheFiz

We've had a local town refuse to pass a sewer repair bond for 6 years - this year the sewer pipes burst and dumped tons of raw sewage into the bay, forcing fishing bans and closing beaches - it's not just bureaucracy!

10:37 am

gramma

Any hints needed before I go?

10:43 am

TheFiz

10:44 am

FMitch

Porcelain Figurines (the kind advertised in mags)

10:45 am

TheFiz

10:45 am

Babbler

Leaves - Name That Tree
Lightfittings, Lampshades
Deck Designs (backs of playing cards)
Calligraphy Art

10:45 am

Babbler

that's it

10:46 am

TheFiz

Interesting. I like 'em all but especially Name That Tree.

10:46 am

TheFiz

And speaking of naming the icon - Babbler, who's your picture? I can't place it and it's making me crazy

10:46 am

FMitch

LOL where do you get them from. Love the name that tree and Atalante will have a nervous breakdown for the Calligraphy art with all her wonderful work. Great stuff.

10:46 am

Babbler

all in favour say 'Aye'

TheFiz, it's Jilly Cooper : )

10:46 am

Elalyr

10:47 am

TheFiz

10:47 am

FMitch

Aye

10:47 am

movieman

Aye!!!!!!

10:47 am

Babbler

thanks FMitch! Well, I was just dropping off to sleep one night, and I had idea after idea and kept putting the light on to write them down, lol!

10:47 am

Dorens

babbler, has there ever been a theme of selfportraits (i.e., pictures of our own lovely faces?)

10:47 am

featherbee

ever do trains babbler? or children's books

10:48 am

Anj

...ni! : )

10:48 am

Babbler

no, Dorens... but I was around when someone did a South Park self portrait, so I added that to the list. if that counts?

10:48 am

Atalante

yay for calligraphy!

10:48 am

Atalante

can we have pre-raphaelites??

10:48 am

Babbler

I can't remember featherbee, which means we can add them, LOL!

10:48 am

Babbler

yes! pre-raphaelites!

10:49 am

TheFiz

LOL Anj

10:49 am

FMitch

Dorens - that hasent been done and I think that is a great idea

10:49 am

ladynoire1013

well, its time for lunch, I will ttyl

10:49 am

Dorens

kind of wonder what you all look like, even tho i'm loathe to show myown face

10:49 am

featherbee

hmm, how about architecture?

10:49 am

TheFiz

bye lady! enjoy your lunch.

10:49 am

Dorens

like that feather

10:50 am

Babbler

I'm pretty sure we've had architecture. But it was a while back so I can add that too.

10:50 am

TheFiz

Dorens - I'm fine with my face - it's the self portrait part that gets me. I'm artistic in other ways but not so much drawing - I wouldn't want you all to get the wrong idea, that I have 3 eyes or that my ears don't line up or something

10:50 am

featherbee

lol fiz

10:51 am

movieman

Babbler - howsabout a Lord of the Rings special?

10:51 am

Babbler

so shall I schedule a self-portrait day and still keep the South Park self portrait day?

10:51 am

Babbler

why not, Movieman! Lord of the Rings / Hobbit, so there's scope?

10:51 am

TheFiz

Pardon me for being dense but what is a South Park self portrait?

10:52 am

Dorens

actually, babbler, i'm not an artist..didn't mean selfportrait,meant photos of selves

10:52 am

Ping

hey, everyone - just checking out the puzzle for today

10:52 am

FMitch

Can we keep it as loose as a self portrait or a photo

10:52 am

movieman

TheFiz - it's a self-portrait done in the style of South Park.....

10:52 am

Babbler

hehee!! you haven't lived, TheFiz! It's this site where you can basically draw your own character, and add whatever you like.

10:52 am

featherbee

would the wizard of oz be too narrow a theme?

10:52 am

TheFiz

I think that's way beyond my skill set

10:52 am

Babbler

hi Ping : )

10:53 am

MVA

10:54 am

10:54 am

FMitch

10:54 am

MVA

10:55 am

Jen34

10:55 am

hetty

I've not been babbling long, so I may have missed that idea-can never have too many cats,

10:55 am

featherbee

FM, i don't know, i kind of think it might be better to keep south park and the pic of yourself seperate

10:55 am

Babbler

that's a good point, we've had a lot of new people join this year, hetty

10:55 am

TheFiz

Do you think I can get both my cats and my frog in the same photo without anyone getting eaten?

10:56 am

Dorens

good luck trying.

10:56 am

MVA

could be fun trying , thefiz

10:56 am

FMitch

Probably right feather :)

10:56 am

Atalante

a rupert Campbell-Black day would be fab, but would confuse everyone who hasn't read Jilly lol

10:56 am

hetty

thefz--that's rather like crossing a river with a fox and som echickens---

10:57 am

Babbler

LOL!! but I wouldn't mind all the Rupert Campbell-Blacks! XD

10:57 am

FMitch

How about a fancy dress day?

10:57 am

Atalante

nor would I!

10:57 am

Babbler

I think I should add all these ideas in, as it's been a while for some. Everyone agree?

10:58 am

Anj

...how about an Escher day : )

10:58 am

FMitch

Go for it Babbler

10:58 am

Dorens

aye

10:58 am

hetty

Rupert makes me think of the Rupert books of my childhood--which leads to--what about graphic novels?

10:58 am

Ping

have cars been a theme before (i'm fairly new)? maybe old cars or futuristic cars or car you drive now?

10:58 am

Babbler

oh, except for Rupert Cambell-Black day, not sure how that would go down. We've had an Escher Day, haven't we Anj? I'll put it in, I think it was last year anyway.

10:59 am

Dorens

10:59 am

11:03 am

Anj

featherbee

11:09 am

Babbler

Flask1 - I've been reading her since I was a kid and she used to write for a newspaper. Then I discovered she wrote short stories and I got into them when I was still at school. She's intelligent, very witty, and a bit cheeky too. I love her .

GreyWoulf

But this is definitely not one of the easier grids today, is it?

Hello folks. Too hot here, at least upstairs, so can't sleep yet. I've been playing 'Boggle' Can anyone tell me how the 'Team' players manage to come top with, for instance, 118 words in 3 mins when most others, even fast thinkers and typists like me, get 39? Is there some kind of 'cheat program' they use or something?? If so, where's the fun in that?

8:54 pm

FranMag

well congratulations cathy!!

8:58 pm

Cathyar

8:58 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - surely any normal human reaction would be to cut him down immediately?

8:59 pm

Cathyar

isn't it the most callous thing to do!!! the poor guy! prob hung himself b/c no one seemed to care and in his end...no one really even acted like it!!!

8:59 pm

9:07 pm

Cathyar

9:07 pm

Jacula

9:07 pm

FranMag

9:09 pm

aknitter

ty grey wolf!

9:09 pm

Jacula

Storms are expected here tomorrow night, Wolfie. As you know, I view those with trepidation... Not because I don't enjoy a good thunderstorm but because they cause flash floods which have flooded my house 4 times in the past.

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Seb is being fussy and distracted ne

9:10 pm

Cathyar

the world is falling apart!!!

9:10 pm

aknitter

ah always blame the kid!

9:10 pm

Jacula

LOL Wolfie - I was going to say that li5/12 is short for linear accelerator, but I don't need to now!

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

no blame -- merely an explanation -- I accept full responsibility :D

9:10 pm

Cathyar

war and rumours of war... weather changes everywhere

9:11 pm

Cathyar

minver? did u find the li5?

9:11 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - Your last post. I saw you with a billboard front and back (end of the world is nigh!) then. LOL.

9:11 pm

aknitter

es 5?

9:11 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - you mean it wasn't Seb who typed the word???:-)

9:11 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL

9:11 pm

FranMag

aknitter, one who es*s a question

9:12 pm

Jacula

es5 - A long, narrow ridge of coarse gravel deposited by a stream flowing in or under a decaying glacial ice sheet.

9:12 pm

Cathyar

lol jac...seriously...i'm llistening to news on tv as i attempt to give clues...and with u all talking about the bad weather... just puts one to mind of "revelations"

9:13 pm

Cathyar

not to mention the unfeelingness of the world today...(like the guy who hung himself i mentioned earlier).

9:13 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - not really taking the 'p'; I do know what you mean about Revelations.

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

feeding Seb -- willl chat again soon

9:13 pm

Cathyar

we're perhaps in the beginning of global "cleansing"

9:13 pm

FranMag

9:13 pm

Jacula

Okay Wolfie.

9:13 pm

aknitter

9:13 pm

Cathyar

revelations as in the bible (and i'm not a religious sort)

9:13 pm

phandmd

looking for re 5/22

9:14 pm

FranMag

phan, put in another word perhaps

9:14 pm

Cathyar

re5/12... a landlord often does it to the door locks when a tenant moves out

9:14 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - I think the last piece of news that shocked me so much was the story of a young girl here in UK, a child, who was run over and had her leg broken, bones sticking out etc., who crawled across the road as at least 8 or 9 cars steered around here (so their drivers wouldn't be late for work???)

9:15 pm

Cathyar

OMG Jac!!! That is soooo horrific!!!

9:15 pm

Jacula

The piece of news before that, about 4 years ago, was a picture of a dead baby dumped in a gutter in China. Everyone walked past and no one turned a hair except for the US and European reporters.

9:16 pm

phandmd

thanx Cathyar

9:16 pm

Cathyar

grey woulf mentioned earlier about the almighty dollar that too many of us worship...seems so true

9:16 pm

Cathyar

welcome phandmd

9:16 pm

Minveryork

I just finished my li words.Thank you all for the clues!

9:17 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Lauren on fireworks!Hooray for you!

9:17 pm

Cathyar

i think that has been typical for years in China Jac...many baby girls thrown into dumpsters...that is why so many americans and canadians travel so far and spend so much adopt chinese baby girls...so many are considered beneath newborn boys

9:17 pm

Jacula

re5/22 - to type in again.

9:17 pm

Cathyar

(or so i understand)

9:18 pm

Cathyar

congrats lauren!!!

9:18 pm

nrkii

hello

9:19 pm

nrkii

woulfie, if you're still there, are you sending any more thunderstorms my way tonight?

9:19 pm

Cathyar

hi again nrkii

9:19 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - that's what I understand, too. There is a saying in India that I was told by an Indian friend, 'Having a daughter is like watering your neighbour's tree'. In other words, re dowry etc., daughters only cost you money and don't bring you money.

9:19 pm

Jacula

Hi nrkii.

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Seb just fell asleep -- I will be free to chat in about 5 more mins -- ssssshhhh

9:20 pm

Cathyar

odd how cultures are so vastllly different...like female circumcision in india, etc.

9:20 pm

FranMag

jac, a different situation , but deplorable just the same is the story of the man who lay dying on everest while at least half a dozen people stepped over him to continue their climbs.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Not just India, Cathyar... Africa, too.

9:20 pm

FranMag

hi nrk!

9:20 pm

Cathyar

i think in babble land at least we seem to share a love of helping each other...even though we are many of us from different countries

9:21 pm

nrkii

Fran, on a totally different and completely superficial topic, how DID you get over 1000 points on secret word yesterday? Did you dream the word up in your sleep??? :)

9:21 pm

Cathyar

yes...true jac...i think that is where i actually first heard of it

9:21 pm

Jacula

FranMag - Yes, I read that story just before I went on holiday. Appalling! What's wrong with people these days? Has the milk of human kindness died?

9:21 pm

Cathyar

what's this secret word i keep hearing of? is it babble-related?

9:22 pm

Cathyar

compassion is so lacking in the world today

9:22 pm

FranMag

nrk, i just happened to get about 3 letters in the right position right off the bat, the rest just fell into place! i earned a star!!

9:22 pm

Jacula

Thank God for the Babble community!

9:22 pm

nrkii

9:22 pm

9:23 pm

nrkii

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

9:23 pm

9:34 pm

Jacula

Ping - Did you know that a long-standing typing error, especially if typists are bored, is beginning a formal letter, 'Dead Sir'? It's true! I used to proofread.

9:34 pm

9:36 pm

Jacula

For an5/16, try Latin word for 'year' minus a consonant + possessive pronoun.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Ping - No, it is true. It's the most common typing error.

9:59 pm

jillibus

I was here for both invasions of rolin's brats. Last night (PDT time) one introduced itself by announcing "u stink". Another called adam1 kept saying "clues pls" over and over again, and he was the least obnoxious! Rolin threw them out, big time. Some returned this morning and were equally disruptive, but unfortunately rolin was not online.disruptive.

9:59 pm

Minveryork

Thank you all for the ca clues.I finished my ca words!

Jacula

jillibus - I think on Sunday night(?) when I'd been up for over 40 hours travelling home from Crete, I told Adam1 to 'go forth and multiply'?

10:01 pm

jillibus

OK, now I can try to help for a bit

10:01 pm

jillibus

What a mistake, jacula!!!!

10:01 pm

FranMag

jac, so that's what happened...there were so many of them last night!

10:01 pm

helenkeller

firewords !!!!!!!

10:01 pm

FranMag

yay helen!!!!

10:01 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - have you not read back through the log today? I am a smoker but I got my come uppance when I switched my fan on and forgot to move my ashtray....

10:02 pm

Minveryork

Adam1 gave me a clue by telling a word. So I thanked him for his help and told him how to clue. He kept on typing words in log. I did not know he was a student.

10:02 pm

Jacula

Helen - I will fire words at you if you wish. LOL.

10:02 pm

pacoshelley

10:03 pm

FranMag

me too jac, but it probably wasn't funny at the time.

10:03 pm

helenkeller

jacula - you're back !! how was your trip?

10:03 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - so did many others. I've washed my sweaty, ash-covered face now though.

10:03 pm

aknitter

well i am off to bed, don't want to be a tired cranky sheep

10:04 pm

Darci

ok. i'm used to struggling towards the end of a grid. but this is ridiculous. i honestly just do not comprehend how there can still be 48 words left in that mess.

10:04 pm

FranMag

night aknitter!

10:04 pm

helenkeller

good nite aknit :)

10:04 pm

aknitter

sneaks of to bed thinking of jac and her ashen covered face (not laughing though ;)

10:04 pm

helenkeller

10:04 pm

FranMag

darci, there are some strange ones for sure

10:04 pm

Minveryork

Bye aknitter!Thanks for the clues! See you tomorrow

10:04 pm

FranMag

10:04 pm

jillibus

jacula! serves you right! I was a smoker since age 14 but quit in 1989, thank goodness. No more yucky ashtrays :D hooray!

10:04 pm

FranMag

here's one...cy6 is first 3 letters of crashing instrument and first three letters of ***es of poetry

10:04 pm

Jacula

Helen - Yes, I'm back. Trip (there and back; cattle class) was HORRIBLE! But bits in between were great. I fell in love with the Aegean Sea and the island of Spinalonga. I'm hoping to get a proper travel diary on BabAnon soon.

10:05 pm

Darci

wow, fran. thanks! never would have gotten that one.

10:05 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations helenkeller on fireworks! Good for U!

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

i for one and looking forward to that jac!

10:05 pm

Jacula

Jillibus - you ex-smokers are far more pious and righteous than non-smokers! LOL.

10:06 pm

Darci

thanks, helen. i think i'm too tired for clues at the moment. haven't even looked at lickety's list yet.

10:06 pm

Jacula

(Not being nasty. I know I'd be the same. I was over dieting when I finally cracked it!)

10:06 pm

helenkeller

jac - travel diary complete with pics, i hope :)

10:06 pm

annie still here? (hi all!)

10:06 pm

10:08 pm

I logged on today thinking maybe 3, and got the message that I had 6!

10:08 pm

helenkeller

hiya feather

10:08 pm

Jacula

FirstChoice, Helen. Wasn't my choice and, given the experience, wouldn't be again. I mean, what kind of people try to serve you breakfast at 4.15am and sell you stuff and keep waking you up when they know you've been hanging around, not allowed to sleep, since 8 am or earlier?

10:08 pm

helenkeller

hiya nrkii

10:08 pm

nrkii

hiya helen

10:08 pm

helenkeller

darci - lickey's clues helped me finish without asking for help :)

10:08 pm

FranMag

that's awesome nrk!

10:08 pm

Jacula

'We hope you've enjoyed your night with us,' they said. Yea, right!

10:09 pm

nrkii

now my goal is to somehow get a perfect 7 stars one day... HA!

10:09 pm

helenkeller

jac - is that a british airline - i never heard of it?

10:09 pm

Jacula

They froze us first and then told us their limited supplu of blankets and pillows were for children only. Plus they wear a horrible pink uniform.

10:09 pm

jillibus

Poof, jac, I used to think so too. It was my son and his wife, who had given up, and their kids who talked me into it and I paid no attention. Then I had to go on a 5-hour flight to visit them, and smoking was banned on the plane. I couldn't face 5 hours smokeless, so used every crutch available to give it up. When I got there I found my son had taken it up again. But *halo expected* I persisted.

10:09 pm

Jacula

Helen - I'd never heard of it either. It wasn't me who booked the hol.

10:09 pm

nrkii

their blankets and pillows were for children only????

10:10 pm

helenkeller

ugh - delta did that to me once with the blankets!! i wanted to kill!

10:10 pm

FranMag

brb, poopy diaper alert!

10:11 pm

Jacula

jillibus - re the smoking - this lot searched our bags for lighters and matches on the out flight! Outrageous!

10:11 pm

Jacula

No such thing was said on the home flight though.

10:11 pm

helenkeller

but delta ran out of them - also lost my luggage on that trip, plus we had unexpected lay-over in denver - i ended up with $300 in bonus coupons cause i raised such a stink when i got back here, lol

10:11 pm

nrkii

Jacula, to keep you from being terrorists, or to keep you from lighting up in the wc?

10:12 pm

helenkeller

lol nrkii

10:12 pm

Jacula

nrkii - they don't think we can control ourselves then?

10:12 pm

evanonut

to stop the next 9/11 --- sorry, but we haven't forgot that have we?

10:13 pm

nrkii

nut, not at all, just wasn't sure if the airline was grabbing lighters and matches for THAT, or to keep folks from smoking... given context of conversation

10:13 pm

Jacula

Not forgotten 9/11 at all. But the so-called security checks are so ... can't think of the word right now.... anyway.... they wouldn't stop a terrorist if he looked honest.

10:13 pm

nrkii

I've had the bag checkers seriously consider confiscating my tweezers...

10:13 pm

evanonut

remember what they held up the planes with last time, now warp your mind so that it thinks like a terrorist...what could you manage with a lighter if you were mcgyver

10:14 pm

Cathyar

wow...i have seen many high-ranking babblers in the quote puzzler games...you are right nrkii...it is fun!

10:14 pm

Jacula

Thing is, re 'sharp objects' - you could make a sharp object of anything, your fingers included.

10:14 pm

helenkeller

jeez evan - how can we freakin forget - there's a movie coming out next month - world trade center -just saw the previews on tv - now to me - that's really poor taste!

10:14 pm

nrkii

now granted, I imagine a very skilled person like mcgyver could do a lot with tweezers, but with that much skill you could do a lot with LESS than tweezers

10:15 pm

nrkii

Jac, my point exactly....

10:15 pm

evanonut

jac - i spend my days rooting out bad guys, and lemme tell you, they are still there, and they're gonna keep trying.

10:15 pm

featherbee

i'm not thrilled about those movies...makes me uncomfortable for some reason

10:15 pm

Jacula

If you really wanted to, you could make a weapon out of almost anything... a CD case for instance could be cracked and be sharp.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Where does it stop?

10:15 pm

evanonut

the tweezer thing i can see - as in harmless. but a lighter has massive potential.

10:16 pm

nrkii

nut, not disagreeing there...

10:16 pm

jillibus

jac, remember the Shoe Bomber? Guess that's why no matches or lighters. Time magsays -- 30,000 - Average # of lighters the TSA confiscates DAILY (!) at airport checkpoints!

10:16 pm

Jacula

Litigation is the worry for all these companies - not people blowing people up. It all comes down to money again. Sadly.

10:16 pm

Jacula

BRB.

10:16 pm

nrkii

I remember the old days, when I used to carry butane in my carry-on...

10:16 pm

godthaab

Evanout,

10:16 pm

helenkeller

agreed jacula - greed :(

10:16 pm

godthaab

I am curious' what do you do?

10:16 pm

nrkii

a LOT of butane

10:16 pm

evanonut

again, NOT litigation, sorry,m

10:17 pm

Cathyar

the almighty $$$...unfortunately it makes the world spin these days...problem is we are spinning so fast...we're all dizzy with greed

10:17 pm

evanonut

godthad, i'm one set of eyes in many

10:17 pm

nrkii

hmmmm, I don't agree cathyar

10:18 pm

nrkii

I saw that line of discussion earlier, and I think it simplifies us too much

10:18 pm

evanonut

agree w/nrkii, but the ones dizzy with greed seem to take up the spotlight

10:18 pm

nrkii

evanonut, glad to have you keeping your eyes open, in all sincerity -- god speed

10:18 pm

godthaab

i'm one set of eyes in many.... In many what?

10:18 pm

Cathyar

it's everywhere nrkii...all around ... no real love and compassion in the world these days. the most important things in life seem to take backstage to the almighty dollar

10:19 pm

evanonut

many eyes of course!

10:19 pm

nrkii

oh cathy, I couldn't disagree with you more

10:19 pm

godthaab

So what do you do to root out bad guys?

10:19 pm

Cathyar

people are stepped on everywhere so others can get ahead.

10:19 pm

nrkii

love and compassion IS all around, if you look

10:20 pm

evanonut

cathy, i'm sorry you're so set like that against the world

10:20 pm

nrkii

wow, I don't claim there isn't bad in the world too, but to say there is "no real love and compassion" seems drastically far from reality -- I'm sorry if that is what you see

10:20 pm

Cathyar

yes.. so i'm told...if you look and give of yourself ...the old cliche...do unto others (blah blah)...tried that route...get stomped on always

10:20 pm

evanonut

godthaab - it's a job, i'm a sleuth...i check people out.

10:21 pm

godthaab

Very cool!

10:21 pm

helenkeller

i believe if we put love & compassion on one side of the scale & greed on the other - the # of starving, war-displaced, needlessly sick people would bring those scales crashing down on all our heads

10:21 pm

evanonut

cathyar - that golden rule is supposed to apply to your rewards after this life.

10:21 pm

Cathyar

not set against the world...will never give in and become like those who ARE truly greedy...i just find people do not put themselves in others shoes enough...too busy with their own lives to notice.

10:22 pm

hi kalea

10:23 pm

FranMag

hi kalea!

10:23 pm

Cathyar

and certainly NOT depressed.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Cathyar - I'm not like that, any many people I know are not either. I'm not sure how the scales would tip if 50 % of the world stood on one side and the same on the other. I tend to think the good would still weigh a bit more.

10:23 pm

jillibus

love and compassion were very evident today when hetty was hostess (in spite of ill health) to stidmmama, her mama, stidmatt and his youger brother -- and me, on her birthday, when she had made her own chocolate birthday cake. Stid and family brought lunch and I was delighted to be included, even though they wouldn't use the champagne I brought (driving, y'know)

10:23 pm

Jacula

Hi Ren!

10:23 pm

evanonut

i love this world - i LOVE life - and i love everyone, even the people i hate...hehehe

i love coffeee, i love tea...i love you all and.....you better love me!

10:24 pm

renfield

hey mistress!!!!!

10:24 pm

thanks ren, that does the trick

10:24 pm

Cathyar

i'm happy on the outside cause that's what the world wants to see...if u act otherwise, people shun u.

10:24 pm

love for ren - can you feel it???

10:24 pm

10:26 pm

kalea

hello Min........smiles

10:26 pm

helenkeller

it's depressing for me to see multi-million $ movies made about the world trade center when people can get good healthcare coverage - this kind of stuff doesn't so much depress me as make me very, very angry

10:26 pm

FranMag

that's what you were talking about earlier!

10:26 pm

Jacula

Someone (sorry, can't find the post now, it's moving so fast) said we'd been depressing in our discussions tonight... Sorry about that, it may have been me that continued it, in a way, after Cathyar saying about the chap hanging himself in a flea market and the market still going on until the coroner came 3 hours later to cut the poor guy down.

10:26 pm

Minveryork

As the Armstrong singer said,"It's a Wonderful World"

10:26 pm

Cathyar

lol jill...that's great!!! aww...evanonut. love hugs n lots of em, but prozac or drugs of any sort are not necessary to accept reality

10:26 pm

helenkeller

*can't* get good healthcare coverage

10:26 pm

Jacula

Helen - is the profit from the film not going to the victims' families? If not, that is appalling.

10:26 pm

evanonut

helen, move to pa - - my husband got excellent healthcare from the state, good ole fast eddie hasn't cut that out yet.

10:27 pm

renfield

welp - it made it interesting....

10:27 pm

Cathyar

lol...ok... life is all state of mind...that is for sure.

10:27 pm

jillibus

Hi min and ren - must explain I'm using tomorrow's Planet Earth icon bedcaue I'll have to miss joining the group and I thought it was a fun one (see profile)

10:27 pm

hetty

I've just been reading the chat log with great sadness. After our lovely day together here on the island--Stidmam and Stiddmatt and jilli and I--it's hard to join in the worrying about wrongdoing when like AnnFrank I believe people are basically good . Oh--just saw jilli's remarks. Thanks , jilli, it was lovely, wasn't it?

10:27 pm

renfield

how about a clue on the an 5?

10:27 pm

evanonut

cath - nothing wrong with prozac, i took it and i'm pretty sure i'm still real *pinches self* OUCH

10:27 pm

helenkeller

jac- i don't know, but then again you have to consider --- IF there's a profit

10:27 pm

Cathyar

and there are always people worse off and better off than others.

10:28 pm

FranMag

ren, a + french for name + sometimes vowel

10:28 pm

kalea

an + vowel _ belonging to me

10:28 pm

Cathyar

attitude matters in a successful life....

10:28 pm

evanonut

i don't think i'll be seeing it cath - i imagine the younger generation might though

10:28 pm

nrkii

okay, I'm not up for this conversation I guess...

10:28 pm

nrkii

good night all!

10:28 pm

Jacula

'Night nrkii.

10:28 pm

hetty

an/5 takes the ending used in science from the Latin for law--nomos--change os to sometime vowel

10:28 pm

10:28 pm

Cathyar

My daughter just came off Prozac and started smoking. I hate her smoking, even though I'm a smoker. I didn't think a lifetime on Prozac was a good option either.

Jacula

She tells me it calms her down. Now... hang on.... when she was in hospital for 2 years or more she got printed info off the staff in her bid to stop ME smoking.... that info stated that nicotine agitates you, not calms you... I reminded her of that.

10:33 pm

nrkii

I'm not upset with anyone -- nobody made me mad, but I'm just saddened when I hear people focusing so much on what's wrong with the world -- I don't endorse putting your heads in the sand and pretending it's all wonderful, but CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL, and HOPE for the best out of everyone... okay now I'm done

10:34 pm

nrkii

Jac, I was just sad and sleepy

10:34 pm

10:40 pm
