You might find this in a deli in Lebanon, if it's still standing...

2:41 am

MayneGuy

Hi Haz - grid is not too bad - some strange and lovely words, tho

2:41 am

lynxxx

it is a fast one - is that pleasing? - I am not so sure

2:42 am

Haz1558

Yesterday's grid had its fair share of weird words! I'm still at the stage of finding normal ones here. 'Strange but true' words will follow.

2:43 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz
Good grid today but a bit short, mind you if pushed for time that might not be a bad thing.

2:43 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMItch - I've flushed you out! Yes, a short grid will be quite welcome today.

I've been babbling away quietly Haz :)

2:48 am

Haz1558

Fmitch - did you see a picture in the paper yesterday of a humming bird hawk moth? We had seen one weeks ago feeding on my plants - it looks like a cross between an overgrown moth in the body, with an extraordinary humming bird wing action. Apparently they are from North Africa, but global warming has brought them our way.

2:57 am

Haz1558

That sounds pretty normal for the addicted. Few of us face babble first thing fully clothed - some of us aren't even in our right minds....

2:58 am

seano216k

how did it get so bad so quickly..........

2:59 am

MVA

some of us babble before we've had a cup of tea!

2:59 am

Haz1558

You must have an addictive personality.... Some people come on here, can't see what the whole thing is about, abuse us roundly for being mad, then disappear. Others just stay.

3:00 am

seano216k

the chat is an integral part of it it. I have been playing for ten mins and have three words!

Usually people who have been playing every day for a few months , and who can devote an hour or so, will get all the words - this can be as little as 60 or up to 350.

3:15 am

tazpink

so far i have found 65 words it is tough but very fun

3:15 am

sbaba

Hello? Did anyone else's score ever not appear at the end of the day?

3:16 am

sbaba - it may be a timing thing. have you checked the rankings again?

3:18 am

sbaba

I was ranked for my first game on 7/21. But when I check the archives, I'm not there. And my count was over 1700. But thanks for answering....

3:19 am

FMitch

taz 65 words is great! You might want to have a look at Angelsongs resource page under friends of babble at the bottom of the page - lots of how to's and hints, plus links to the 2nd letter lists for when you get really stuck.

4:51 am

Flask1

and won't have my hair washed with my head forward either!!

4:52 am

mattygroves

Really? That must be quite a pain (really). For me, heights is my crippling fear.

4:52 am

Flask1

thanks for that Beast!

4:53 am

Flask1

It is actually......I love to go Spain.....and I sit and look at them all cooling off in the pool with such envy....

4:54 am

mattygroves

It seems that any time I look up a word, when it has a definition in dictionary.com, it's a tree or shrub or product derived from one. Odd!
Flask - I'd love to be able to ride horses, but I get frozen in terror when it starts moving. Ditto theme parks - I just cannot get on any high ride.

4:54 am

Karys

back again....my charge decided it was time for elevnses !

4:55 am

Karys

4:56 am

Beast

thanks karys, i understand having to leave quickly and look after others

4:57 am

Flask1

Now Matty, am the same with horses.......when I was younger I was put on a horse....but it took FOUR people to keep me on it....because every time the horse lifted a leg....I was pushed in a different direction.......it was horrible....and again I was terrified!!

4:57 am

Karys

got it now.....it's the ap*** way...a mountain range I think

4:57 am

mattygroves

Thanks Karys!

4:58 am

Flask1

4:58 am

mattygroves

It is something to do with bees, I think.

5:01 am

Flask1

Surely CHEES has to be the phantom word!!

5:01 am

Flask1

Ooop!....I meant CHEESE.....lol

5:02 am

Beast

ar 6 anyone?

5:03 am

mattygroves

To quote TheFiz from ealier "looks like "got up" or "woke up" but with an extra vowel after the R"

5:45 am

Eva

any clues for the an8 which is not about violation?

5:46 am

mattygroves

Beast - rather than asking for every word, you might find these two websites helpful: http://www.jumble.org/jumble.shtml and http://www.onelook.com/reverse-diction
ary.shtml

5:47 am

mattygroves

Eva it uses the same four first letters - and an anagram of the ra4 - wet stuff that comes from the sky

5:47 am

Eva

thanks matty!

5:48 am

herinfernallady

5:48 am

Jencatd

any clues for wi5/18 please?

5:49 am

Beast

matty, sorry for asking too much, sometimes the people on here are happy to help, and sometimes they are not

5:49 am

mattygroves

No worries Beast - I just find those two website really helpful - one is a crossword solver, and the other a reverse dictionary.

5:49 am

Beast

btw I am on 86 words

5:50 am

MVA

i swear by reverse dictionary, really helpful

5:50 am

Flask1

Have you missed me???...lol....am back!

5:50 am

mattygroves

Me too - did you know you can specify the first letter or letters as well?

5:50 am

Flask1

Hi MVA

5:51 am

mattygroves

Hi Flask!

5:51 am

MVA

hi flask

5:51 am

Beast

sorry, wasnt sure if you were trying to help or complaining

5:51 am

Jencatd

Thanks for the jumble site, Matty. ^^ It's very useful.

5:52 am

mattygroves

Tis, isn't it. I don't like using it too much, cuz it kinda feels like cheating, but when you're stuck, and monkey typing just doesn't seem to yield results, it's brilliant.

5:52 am

Kateq

Done! Happy Sunday, Everyone!

5:53 am

mattygroves

Congrats Kate!

5:53 am

Flask1

well done Kat!!

5:53 am

MVA

i didn't know that matty, i'll remember that

5:53 am

MVA

congrats kateq!!

5:53 am

addytewd

okay, am i not thinking clearing because i just woke up? lol How is it possible to have a wr4/8 word? the w is 5 points which leaves only 2 points for 3 more letters.

5:53 am

mattygroves

Form the query thus: ta*: definition - so the first howver many letters you have, then a star, then a colon, then the definition.

5:54 am

TheLegend

yay...finito

5:55 am

mattygroves

Congrats Leg!

5:55 am

Atalante

addy, 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 :)

5:55 am

mattygroves

Hi Ata!

5:55 am

MVA

woohoo the legend

5:56 am

addytewd

true, atalante, but don't forget that the 4 letter word gets a point just for being 4 letters. that only leaves 7 points for the value of each tile. since W is 5, that leaves only 2 points. am i wrong?

5:56 am

Atalante

hi matty :) hi everyone else :)

5:56 am

Flask1

well done Leg!

5:56 am

TheLegend

hi matty

5:56 am

Atalante

no, it doesn't, addy

5:57 am

TheLegend

hi mva

5:57 am

mattygroves

Sorry, addy - you're wrong - the only points you get are from the letters - you don't get a point for the word itself.

5:57 am

ExWren

addy. you aren't awake yet. w=5+3x1-8

5:57 am

mattygroves

So you get 5 points for the W and 1 point each for the other common letters - making 8.

5:58 am

addytewd

okay, now i'm totally confused. i thought each word got points based solely on length before adding the value of each tile. lol

5:58 am

mattygroves

The 1 for a four letter word is a multiplyer, not an adder (as it were)

5:58 am

addytewd

oh DUH!

5:58 am

mattygroves

You muliply x 1 for a four point, x 2 for a five and so on.

5:58 am

addytewd

i KNEW it was cuz i was still half asleep! thanks, guys LOL you're right, of course.

5:59 am

mattygroves

No worries, addy :D

5:59 am

addytewd

maybe i'll skip coffee, and go right back to bed lol

6:00 am

mattygroves

Will I need a fish - is the ta5/18 really obvious?

6:00 am

ExWren

addy, click on the help button at the top of the page, and all will be revealed

6:02 am

addytewd

well, umm, wren? i had already done that. LOL as you can see, i completely ignored the "multiplier statement". I appreciate everyone's help :)

6:02 am

MVA

like to5/18, matty, just change second letter

6:04 am

mattygroves

Heh - MVA - I'll try that...when I get the to 5/18

6:04 am

Atalante

lol addy, we all do it. especially when half asleep still :P

6:04 am

Jencatd

9:05 am

stidmama

hi feather!

9:06 am

hurshy

think about it CHS... starting from the corner, but not able to come from the N above, means they must use the N above later in the word...if you try to go nont...you get stuck for vowels...so you must have to go nonf...

9:06 am

Anniebrook

Stid, it's feather who is suffering with the migraine...i havent had one in a very long time. feather had company over yesterday....i think she had too much fun....gurgle gurgle....lol

10:15 am

FMitch

Ah - there will be the odd silly costume.

LOL Hi Jacs

10:15 am

Jacula

Haz1558

1:52 pm

brandyjack

ah, but are our clues useful is the question.... Mine tend to be obtuse... Don't want to give it aaway too easily, unless it's accompanied by a fish >++('>

1:53 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lgorms! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!

1:53 pm

Uncagain

I figure if someone is hard up enough to ask for a clue, they dont want a mystery

1:55 pm

Minveryork

Sometimes I like a mystery.It depends on where I am at on my list and the time.If I know that I'm going to finish early, I do not mind gettinga mystery. But if it is crunch time, I almost want to be given the word.

1:56 pm

FMitch

I would disagree Uncag - I love the cryptic clues and the suggested words that make you think and then find the word, much more fun than dry dictionaries. But if the clock is running then basic works for me.

1:56 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the st 5/10 word please?

1:56 pm

brandyjack

i like to hear the little yelp as the last tuft of hair gets pulled.....

1:56 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need both st 5/10 words if you have them.

1:57 pm

brandyjack

stoai

1:57 pm

brandyjack

1:57 pm

Uncagain

just add different vowels to the st 4/4

1:57 pm

brandyjack

too much yakking going on by me....

1:57 pm

EasternBlue

so much for that tuft of hair....lol!!

1:57 pm

Uncagain

wow, Brandyjack, I dont give clues that easy

1:58 pm

Minveryork

What brandyjack just did works for me too. Thanks!

1:58 pm

brandyjack

i didn't have the words myself, was just putting them in. in the wrong place as usual....

1:58 pm

oggy

there are 3st x 5 words

1:58 pm

FMitch

BJ - maybe you can petition Dr_G to change the cursor problem?

2:00 pm

brandyjack

I will NOT give away the other two, except to say that one sounds like something John Carter or Dejah Thoris might ride, but is in fact a variety of ermine....

2:00 pm

Minveryork

Is anybody's internet running slowly.I type in a word and it takes forever for a response.Now it said word could not be added and to try again.Do you see that in the log? This happens to me all of the time! I don't know if it is my DSL or the Babble website. Oh well!!

2:01 pm

brandyjack

FMitch, I can think of a couple of ways that Dr_G might fix it, but then you might wind up with the Babble screen stealing the focus from another window....

2:01 pm

FMitch

I get that very occasionally Minver but all is fine this evening

2:01 pm

flosey

Hi all, yes, Min, I've had that happen

2:01 pm

oggy

it happens now and then min

2:02 pm

flosey

can anyone give me a clue for the first no6/27 please

2:02 pm

FMitch

Bj - it

2:03 pm

FMitch

BJ - it's just that in the old layout typing thw word in the wrong box wans't a prob - is it really such a big deal in the new layout?

2:03 pm

brandyjack

Minver, mine is running slow too. I can type ahead several words and then sit there and watch the machine digest them (or spit them out, as the case may be). suggest that problem is with DR_G's provider or server being busy. Just because people aren't in the chat log, doesn't mmean they aren't playing....

2:03 pm

Uncagain

Min, I think it is a problem with DSL as it happens to me too, but doesnt seem to affect everyone else at same time

2:03 pm

Jacula

Hi again. BJ - we're keeping the food warm for you! (See icon <-------)

2:05 pm

brandyjack

Jac, it's not nice to tease the animals....... But, Relish??? On ribs????????

2:05 pm

2:06 pm

Uncagain

the no 6/27 might be described as a person who doesnt like sports

2:06 pm

EasternBlue

Jacs...looks delish!!!

2:06 pm

brandyjack

Kids just have no sense of good taste. Make 'em eat ribs. Burgers are bad for you....

2:07 pm

Home made burgers BJ, surely we can tempt you with those?

2:08 pm

Jacula

2:52 pm

Jacula

BJ & frog - Like many names, there are varied spellings.

2:53 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, speaking of spellings, we kept seeing 'Roast Lamp' on Cretan menus. A bit crunchy that, I imagine!

2:54 pm

Hi Babbler :)

Hi Faerie.x

My Open House is finally over *whew* had a nice turn out and now I'm ready to finish up my Babble :) I'm looking for clues for the in6/33 Please.

2:57 pm

faeriekae

HI BJ :) I'm still using you list babe keep up the good work

2:57 pm

brandyjack

it's like the en6/33 and the be6/39.

2:57 pm

Jacula

Faerie - in6 is one of the words (like be6 & en6) to do with parcelling things up.

2:57 pm

frogtaco

Just to poke at that road one more time, this particular spelling actually means like a bee. And I would stay away from the roast lamp, personally. :)

2:58 pm

faeriekae

xoxoxxoxoxoxox Thank you....I looked for that for ever this morning

3:10 pm

faeriekae

The Spinalonga cruise was a daytrip. We also did a self-drive jeep safari into the Dikti Mountains. Paul was driving a Suzuki jeep along roads that were more like rockfalls and grinning all the way. I got a HUGE bruise on my thigh.

3:19 pm

Cathyar

3:33 pm

Jacula

I'm off to feed the rabbits & g/pigs and then to water the plants and close the bbq up. I'll leave the jeep safari pic for you all to have a proper look at and change back to a sea pic later. 'Bye for now!x

3:33 pm

faeriekae

Well I'm in Michigan and I hate the winters here so I can't imagine being in Canada.

3:33 pm

Cathyar

winters are so much better here than they used to be...must be the climate change thing. we used to have way more blizzards than we have had the past few years.

3:33 pm

3:35 pm

Cathyar

3:35 pm

faeriekae

I love the sun and warm weather so I'm heading South. Going back home to be near my family. Yeah :)

3:35 pm

Cathyar

not real Hot in march/april, but bearable at least

3:35 pm

Minveryork

I am done! Thank you everybody for all of your clues!

3:36 pm

Cathyar

don't blame ya faerie...for the weather and the family...why would u have gone north?

3:36 pm

brandyjack

the local ski slope was open for 3 weeks this year. Was too warm most of the time and we had rain eternally. I remember when I was a kid standing up on the snow bank looking down at the school bus. Of course I also remember picking my butt up off the road after falling off said snowbank and spraining my wrist.....

3:36 pm

StephieC

Bye Min!

3:36 pm

Cathyar

YAY Minver!!! Congrats!

3:36 pm

Snow is fun. But only AFTER you are done shovelling the stuff.....

3:37 pm

faeriekae

pa 6/21 please

3:37 pm

Cathyar

ya brandy...that IS the worst!!! i DETEST shovelling!

3:39 pm

brandyjack

Been a lot of whining in the news the last few years about the excessive amounts of snow were starting to get. But it's still nowhere near what I remember as a kid. I think about the time I hit college, the winters started to get real mild. People have sort of gotten used to the mild ness and now that it's getting back to normal, they're complaining.

3:39 pm

Cathyar

k...so i've opened bab anon on another page...where's the best place to visit from there...i've been to brandyjacks page and lickety's page before many times....where else is fun/informative re babble

3:39 pm

Minveryork

pa 6/21 is pa the water that comes from the sky.

3:40 pm

Minveryork

I'll be on and off the rest of the day to help with clues

3:40 pm

Cathyar

yeah brandy...i agree...my parents have told me horror stories about the snow drifts being as high as the telephone lines! (out west i hear they don't have telephone lines...all underground)

3:40 pm

faeriekae

Thanks Minv :)

3:40 pm

Cathyar

(power lines etc)

3:41 pm

brandyjack

yep. Never had the nerve to touch one of the wires myself... Of course, now that I know the lowest lines are actually telephone instead of power.......

3:41 pm

StephieC

I don't get you pa clue Min.

3:42 pm

StephieC

I should have said I don't get YOUR pa clue Min.

3:42 pm

Minveryork

StephieC,it is pa plus the water that comes from the sky. The weather might be sunny or ra**ny.

3:42 pm

brandyjack

She mean't pa + the water that falls from the sky, but it's actually an anagram of the water drops.

3:42 pm

Cathyar

lol...brandy...u should have been here the other night when one of our fellow babblers and i were trading alcoholic drinks and she decided to dance into a campfire and play with lightning rods in a thunderstorm ;)

3:43 pm

StephieC

Okay, I got it now! TY!!

3:43 pm

Cathyar

methinks one too many strawberry daquiris!!!

3:43 pm

brandyjack

Next time you see her, perhaps you should bestow upon her a Darwin Award.....

3:44 pm

Cathyar

odd...haven't seen here since!!!

3:44 pm

Cathyar

perhaps she held up the lightning rod too high!

3:44 pm

Minveryork

Oh sorry! Hence the reason why I need to clue. So I can get more practice.Or maybe I shouldn't clue so I don't confuse people. I've been trying to get better.

3:44 pm

brandyjack

Then she already got her Darwin Award.....

3:44 pm

Cathyar

s'ok minver...everyone appreciates clues and efforts thereupon!!! myself included.

3:45 pm

faeriekae

Oh Minv I got it right away,

3:45 pm

brandyjack

That's ok Min, I usually clue the wrong word...... It's a good clue, but for some other word entirely....

3:45 pm

Cathyar

lol it was funny regardless. I'm sure she shall return

3:45 pm

Cathyar

i've totally confused people with some of my clues, i think

3:46 pm

brandyjack

I've spent the last half hour looking for the first to4 and I already had it. filled my list out wrong.....

3:47 pm

faeriekae

LOL I hate it when that happens

3:48 pm

brandyjack

And it turns out the to4/4 I was missing was one that would have gotten me a fish....

3:48 pm

brandyjack

i don't do aleve for some reason. never got into it much. i think i worry that if it doesn't work, i'll have to wait too long to try something else

7:19 pm

Minveryork

pam I have been off and on all day too so should have known you were here.Sorry! Good luck finishing grid!

7:19 pm

pam

7:19 pm

featherbee

excedrine migraine is just acetominafin (yeah, i know that's spelled wrong), aspirin, and caffiene

7:19 pm

Ping

feather, probably similar effect in combo like that

7:19 pm

Ping

Lib, how are you doing this evening?

7:20 pm

pam

yes, Feather, but I try to stay away from acetaminophen

7:20 pm

libarebel

I find that buffered aspirin works best for me-- even when I had a ruptured disk!

7:20 pm

featherbee

my recipe is tylenol, food, coke, and either a nap or a shower in the dark.

7:20 pm

flosey

what I took - way back, was caffergot - but ergot is dangerous in child bearing years

7:20 pm

libarebel

I'm fine, ping & you?

7:20 pm

Anniebrook

for headaches Advil does it for me... Aleve is good too

8:09 pm

featherbee

yay ping! ooooh, the volcano, lol

8:09 pm

Jacula

Good evening, babbz. en6/33 is related to be 6/39 and in6/33 - it has to do with parcelling things up.

8:10 pm

beebee

en6/33 en+ gift ****- what you go with a gift before you give it you **** it in paper

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello babbz! How are you? Welcome to today's puzzle

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula! Didn't know you were here? Did you finish?

8:11 pm

babbz

thanks much min!

8:11 pm

FranMag

hi jacula!

8:11 pm

babbz

just got back from camping for the weekend!

8:11 pm

Jacula

erin - the time taken to finish usually depends mostly on how weird the words are rather than how big the grid is. For a seasoned Babbler with a short but 'normal' grid 20 mins is not unheard of. However, most grids go on for longer than that for most of us, especially as life intervenes in between finding words.;-)

8:11 pm

FranMag

hi babbz!

8:11 pm

erin76

aha! I just figured out which one was the %**&# volcano.

8:11 pm

FranMag

8:11 pm

Hi FranMag & Minver. Minver, I wasn't here until just. LOL. Yes, I finished some hours ago.

8:12 pm

ronnielee

were the stats updated today?

8:13 pm

babbz

hey there fran!

8:13 pm

erin76

Wow Jacula, that is utterly incredible to me. it took me a few hours total, I'd guess. hats off to you smarties!

8:13 pm

Jacula

erin - the et4 (Sicilian volcano) is a frequent word in the Babble grids, as are various fish and sea birds. You'll get to know them as youplay more.

8:14 pm

featherbee

erin, i started at 9:30 am, and finished around 9pm. I come back and forth to the grid all day.

8:14 pm

Jacula

babbz - Where were you camping and did you have a good time, and did you avoid getting bitten to death by mozzies?

8:14 pm

babbz

Question for any or all of you. We were driving home on Interstate 80 and must have seen about 500 motorcycles all in a row driving west. Is that Sturgis festival going on this week? I swear every rider had to be 300 pounds, too. Picture that in your rear view mirror!!!

8:14 pm

Kenny Chuck

8:16 pm

FranMag

8:16 pm

Jacula

8:18 pm

Minveryork

I started the grid at 1:00A.M. and some people were already done by 3:00 A.M. I stayed up until 3:30 and then finished it in afternoon.Took me awhile to finish

8:18 pm

babbz

lol jac - actually it's got some history - two warring Indian tribes were fighting and one of the tribes decided to wait out the attack on this big rock, but they forgot to bring food and they were surrounded by the other tribe, who just waited them out as they starved to death.

8:18 pm

Kenny Chuck

Yeah. Not straightforward at all for me.

8:18 pm

babbz

hahah! Fran you are so witty. It was definitely 500 fat boys on their hogs!

8:21 pm

Jacula

NRB - have some laundry to attend to. Someone's cigarette lighter got washed and, guess what, it's still working!

8:21 pm

Kenny Chuck

8:21 pm

Jacula

babbz - that Lover's Leap story has me in mind of the old song, 'Fernando'.

8:22 pm

Jacula

Back in a bit.

babbz - I remember going to see Zefirelli's 'Romeo & Juliet' with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey in the starring roles when I was at school and studying Shaespeare's play for 'O' Level - I wept buckets. However, reading the play, and watching the film, again many years later after a long marriage, 2 kids and a divorce, I just thought how young and silly the two were - how 'teenaged'. LOL.

FranMag

thanks eva!

9:10 pm

Jacula

Eva - I had the ship Venus and the wonderful sparkling and clear sapphire blue of the Aegean Sea on my icon earlier, but then I put a pic of our jeep safari up into the Dikti Mountains on. That's what you can see now. We are in 1st blue jeep.

Eva - n + what we breathe + first vowel. n4/4 - sounds like nothig but has 1st vowel instead of 2nd at end. no6/27 - not a follower or celebrator of (think of a music group or a football team, if you like them, you are a fa*). no6.27 - same start again as the word before but this one is low calorie. no4/4 - Latin phrase, meaning note well', followed by the word 'bene'. no4.4 - Erm, I said the word in the last clue.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Eva - The Dikti Mountains are in East Crete. Crete is a Greek island.

9:15 pm

Eva

9:15 pm

FranMag

9:16 pm

aknitter

9:16 pm

9:17 pm

featherbee

i don't see a an5 knitter...

9:17 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - there is no an5.

9:17 pm

FranMag

knitter, do you mean ap5?

9:17 pm

Jacula

Ap5 means 'of bees'.

9:17 pm

FranMag

ap5 is ap*** way, old roman road

9:18 pm

featherbee

ap5/12, ap + me/myself/* + singular two letter article

9:18 pm

aknitter

9:18 pm

FranMag

cool, three different clues, one has to do the trick!

9:18 pm

featherbee

hee, go get those specs knitter!

9:19 pm

aknitter

no,no, no that would mean i am old!!

9:19 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - are you at the 'need varifocals but cannot afford/am too stubborn to get them' stage, like me?

9:20 pm

Jacula

Aknitter! Control yourself! There is no such thing as 'old'! Old doesn't happen to the hip generation.

9:20 pm

aknitter

I don't know what stage i am @ Jac, somewhere between infancy and ......

9:20 pm

FranMag

knitter, my husband had to get reading glasses last year and he's not even 40!!

9:21 pm

FranMag

before that he was better than 20/20!

9:21 pm

Jacula

Some prat of an optician gave me reading glasses (for the blackboard) when I was 11!

9:21 pm

Jacula

Before he interfered, I had no idea that I couldn't see!

9:21 pm

aknitter

i actually wear contacts for distaqnce however my sight is so bad and they are so strong that the lenses interfere with my close vision. Take them out and i can read just fine, just can't see anything else LOL

9:22 pm

FranMag

i've worn glasses since 4th grade myself...age 9.

9:22 pm

aknitter

1st grade here !!

9:23 pm

leighprefect

Fran- Similar to me.

9:23 pm

FranMag

leigh, my first pair were light blue cat's eyes with rhinestones!! eek!

9:24 pm

FranMag

of course they'd be cool and hip if i wore them now! lol

9:24 pm

aknitter

see, glasses are a sign of intelligence (we are all here), not necessarily a sign of good taste though -- meow

9:24 pm

leighprefect

My first were pink wire frames...they looked like sideways Ds. Then came plastic frames, when plastic frames were anything but cool.

9:24 pm

Jacula

Franmag - after changing my icon back to the sea and then refreshing a couple of times, I come back to find you imitating Edna Everage. EEK!

9:25 pm

FranMag

i was only 9, how did i know!!

9:25 pm

FranMag

exactly like dame edna's!!

9:26 pm

aknitter

my glasses were so thick that i could never have the cute "latest" frame fashions. i always looked like a giant bug

9:26 pm

Jacula

Leigh - those sounds like British NHS frames.

9:26 pm

aknitter

ar 6 please 9if there really is one

9:27 pm

hetty

Men dont make passes at gals who wear glasses

9:27 pm

FranMag

knitter, a + flower with another vowel in it

9:27 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - bottle bottom lenses! I guess you know you can get ultra-thin lenses now that don't make your eyes like HUGE and don't weight so heavy that they leave a red indentation of your nose?

9:28 pm

FranMag

that should say "extra" vowel

9:28 pm

hetty

ar6/18, knitter, taked Gertrude Stein's famous remark and adds an "i" in the middle

9:28 pm

aknitter

jac, my glasses were so heavy I could barely lift my head, much nicer ones now

9:29 pm

Jacula

Hetty - that saying is a load of twaddle! I've never had any trouble attracting the opposite sex (or even same sex, on occasions, though not looked for!)

9:29 pm

aknitter

got that ar ty all

9:29 pm

leighprefect

Thanks Hetty. =(

9:29 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - I have frameless specs now with ultrathin lenses. People don't even notice them in real life or in photos at times.

9:30 pm

aknitter

frameless? how do they stay on your face?

9:30 pm

FranMag

lol aknitter!

9:30 pm

hetty

Jac, I only threw that emark in because I wanted to see my icon. Five times I've tried to change it in vain

9:30 pm

Jacula

Mind you, here in UK, that 'priviledge' cost me Â£400 and will cost another Â£200 more when I have to go varifocal.

9:31 pm

aknitter

4oo pounds! heavy glass

9:31 pm

hetty

I think it's a load of twaddle too. Anyway, who needs passes?

9:31 pm

Jacula

Aknitter - they have a bridge and arms, you silly sausage! LOL.

9:31 pm

leighprefect

Me.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Hetty - LOL!

9:32 pm

Jacula

Hetty - re the icon change - what message is the site throwing upre that?

9:32 pm

aknitter

twaddle? silly sausage? I feel like I speak another language (love it though)

9:33 pm

hetty

YYesterday I got this srtrange pic I had never (kowingly) entered--don't kniw what it is--now my fifth attempt (3 for water, 2 for furniture) was for a bed

9:34 pm

hetty

9:35 pm

aknitter

9:35 pm

hillary

Hetty - It wasn't gertrude stein it was dorothy parker.

FranMag

sorry, had to step away to feed children a snack.

9:37 pm

FranMag

hetty, i see a bed

9:37 pm

Jacula

Hetty - 2nd attempt since kicking myself off site... US English and UK English ARE different. But not as different as the English spoken from Land's End (down South in Cornwall) up to John O Groats (in Soctland)!

9:37 pm

Jacula

9:38 pm

Eva

gertrude stein said 'a ro** is a 'ro** is a ro**. Drothy Parker may have quoted it, as she did so many other bon mots

9:39 pm

aknitter

wr 5 -- is to pen (or pencil) the 4 is the past tense

9:39 pm

FranMag

eva, to4/7 rhymes with so** and cuddly, to5/16 is plural

9:39 pm

Eva

definitely gertrude stein

9:39 pm

Jacula

I remember a penpal of mine, from Paisley in Scotland, finally ringing me, after 2 years of letters, back in the 70s. I couldn't understand a word he said.

9:39 pm

FranMag

wr4/8 is wr** of habeas corpus

9:39 pm

Jacula

But we were both speaking 'English'!

9:39 pm

hetty

Welol, someone is seeing a bed knitter, so it is sworking?

9:39 pm

Eva

9:40 pm

Eva

9:41 pm

FranMag

9:41 pm

FranMag

jac, that's so funny!

9:41 pm

aknitter

hetty if i click on your name i see a bed, your icon in my chat log looks like a bunch of different colored lines

9:41 pm

Jacula

wr4/9 - end the show! wr** it up, it's a wr**! wr4/8 - what you serve on someone via a lawyer. wr5/18 - what you do when you put pen to paper.

9:41 pm

bech0057

i need help with the "e" words

9:42 pm

aknitter

look at my icon for one of the e words bech

9:42 pm

FranMag

hetty, i think the picture you picked for your bears was too large and wasn't square so when you uploaded it got skewed too much.

9:42 pm

Eva

First one I've finished in a while because I've been list aversive for some reason. When I have fibro flare ups and am hurting I don't feel up to working at the puzzles so hard...but tonight it was easy enough, especially with the generous help.

9:42 pm

bech0057

ty aknitter!

9:42 pm

Jacula

FranMag - what is even funnier is that he always used to write to me in all capital letters, in case I didn't understand his handwriting! LOL. We recently got in touch again, 2 years' ago, re an old schoolfriends site.

9:42 pm

aknitter

9:42 pm

9:45 pm

Eva

9:46 pm

aknitter

9:48 pm

Jacula

I had no knowledge of Greek when I got to Crete but I do know that people appreciate you at least having a try... I spent a day or so listening to Cretans talking amongst themselves, to get the feel of the accent, then asked a barmaid in the place where we were staying how o say a few things and how to pronounce them. I put my Greek phrasebook on the table and we spent some time going between the Greek for me and the English for her and had great fun doing it.

9:49 pm

9:52 pm

10:24 pm

dilly

fireworks , mg w. some phone clues from my friend.

10:24 pm

Jacula

ar6/18 - Characterized by melody, as distinguished from harmony. Failing that, think of the area around a nipple and take off last 2 Los Angeles letters and change them for South East.

10:25 pm

MayneGuy

dilly! wow! way to go, girl

10:25 pm

Minski

Got that one by googling definition. Thanks Jac.

Jacula

Well then, Fran|Mag. I guess I'd better get on with it in my own inimitable style before Haz goes on and gets back from her African safari and reportsd it far better than I ever could! Seriously, I think Haz should write the vet's wife book. That's a market that has not been tapped yet and she tells the stories with such gentlesness and humour that they could not be anything but a hit.

Jacula

Franmag - I know it could be, but my style is far more prickly Jeremy Clarkson style stuff. Hazel's is more in the real life Maeve Binchy mould. Both have a place in the world, I guess. Also, can I say Haz is someone who I consider my friend on Babble and would hope to also do so in real life some time soon.

10:42 pm

helenkeller

jacula - i'm not clear there on what you wrote - how is babble different from real life?

10:42 pm

helenkeller

LOL

10:42 pm

FranMag

yes jac, she seems like a lovely person, one of many babblers (including yourself) that i'd like to meet in person.

10:42 pm

Jacula

Haz is the master of the Irish understatement. That really is THE BEST FORM OF SARACASM AND STATEMENT ON LIFE.

10:44 pm

Jacula

fRANmG - YOU WILL MET BOTHOF US. AT THE SAME TIME, i HOPE.

10:44 pm

FranMag

are you using the laptop again jac?

10:44 pm

Jacula

Sorry for shouting!

10:45 pm

Jacula

No, I'm on the main comp but it's late, I'm tired and I've also had a bit too much to drink.:-(

10:46 pm

Jacula

Time I bowed out, I guess.

11:03 pm

MayneGuy

I grew up in Saanichton - went to Mt Newton Junior High School - on Keating X Road!

11:03 pm

Jatb

11:04 pm

Jatb

11:06 pm

beebee

maynegirl- t/y- i really change it cause i'm too lazy

11:06 pm

beebee

oops rarely

11:06 pm

Jatb

I've lived here for 14 years, a small island at the bottom end of the bahamas chain. Yes I love it and it was the perfect place to bring up kids but .. they need school and to see the "real" world .. they are amazed that they'll be able to buy "things" from a shop, not order online, wait then pay double for shipping and duty .. ah, and there is the grass, they are in awe of that

11:07 pm

MayneGuy

Indeed, Stidmama - and here we all are!

11:07 pm

helenkeller

my back hurts - i'm going to lay down - maybe see you at the flip - bye :)

11:07 pm

MayneGuy

Jatb

It sure is a small world. Thanks beebee. It'll be very different from what we're used to but I hope it'll turn out good for all of us.

11:09 pm

MayneGuy

You will love Saanichton, Jatb - I think the islands and southern Vancouver Island are the loveliest places in Canada

11:09 pm

mymuseisme

Jatb...will they also be in "awe" of the snow and cold weather?

11:10 pm

MayneGuy

We hardly get snow - kind of a Mediterranean climate here for the most part

11:10 pm

mymuseisme

really? wow didn't know that

11:10 pm

Jatb

ah yes, they've never seen snow!! They're looking forward to it .. MayneGirl, that's why I chose Victoria!

11:10 pm

beebee

the greatest minds in the world are on babble- can we please come up with a "cure" for housework? i'm sick of doing it and even sicker of the pigsty it becomes when i don't.

11:10 pm

MayneGuy

It rarely gets below 5C (forget the formula to change to F) in winter

11:11 pm

Jatb

MayneGuy

Swerve and avoid, beebee

11:11 pm

beebee

jatb- they don't clean it right and then i have to go behind them- a waste of time and money

11:12 pm

FranMag

11:12 pm

MayneGuy

ty Fran - I was using the wrong search words

11:12 pm

beebee

maynegirl- good answer- the only problem is hubby and kids aren't good at it and always have to comment

11:12 pm

stidmama

I am not awake enough to focus on finding words or anything else... see you folks tomorrow!

11:12 pm

Jatb

11:27 pm

leighprefect

11:28 pm

mymuseisme

11:29 pm

FranMag

nice babbz!

11:29 pm

FranMag

leigh, aren't you house-sitting for your family right now?

11:31 pm

leighprefect

Eh. I was walking my puppy and they were sitting out at the front of someone's driveway and they're all giggly and they said to each other "Who walks their dog NOW?" and so I snapped back, "Someone whose dog needs to (expletive). Mind your own (expletive) business." And so they tried to be all sneaky (read: giggling and trailing me loudly from the other side of the street about 25 feet back) and follow me home. I was sooooooooooo tempted to call the cops, because there is indeed a curfew for little obnoxious children.

11:31 pm

leighprefect

And yes.....I'm home alone. It hasn't been very pleasant so far.

11:33 pm

babbz

Time to call it a night - good night, all!

11:33 pm

11:34 pm

leighprefect

Just now. I walked my dog around the corner and snuck through my neighbors back yard. I didn't want them to know where I lived because then it comes back to pranking and stupid shit like that. They were teens. I'd say 14/15...

11:35 pm

mymuseisme

groups of kids can often act that way if there is 1 obnoxious one in the group

11:35 pm

leighprefect

I just wanted to strangle the whole lot.

11:35 pm
