1:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Today's grid looks nice - I love the long ones

1:44 am

sprite

It is a real babblet grid today! Sofar I have seen the fog with chilly wind, the vulcano, the funny fence, Na4/4, To4/4 and the stupid X + man's name we had recently.

1:44 am

lynxxx

I think we are all a bit exhausted from yesterdays - it did go on - and on

1:45 am

brandyjack

i think i'll be glad to get back to work tomorrow.....

1:45 am

sprite

Yeah, yesterday's was slow going. This one is better.

1:45 am

lynxxx

holding you to that Sprite !

1:46 am

sprite

More than halfway already, so it's a given :)

1:49 am

lynxxx

have no doubt that you would 'sail through' Sprite - I was talking about me needing your help!

1:49 am

sprite

No you don't, lol... but I am always glad to help. Just yell :)

1:55 am

sprite

Another babblet: Ne4/4. Goes well with the fence.
And there is Ar5/12: Ar + something you can wear on your head.
And Ch6/24: switch vowels of 'to deceive, to not play by the rules' and add another vowel.

1:56 am

sprite

Those were bugging me, so I thought I'd share ;)

1:57 am

sprite

Yet another babblet: the statelike O4/5. Must be some record, so many babblets in one grid.

1:58 am

lynxxx

TY - although hadn't heard of the fence - or the chilly wind & fog before - so still to find

1:58 am

montana646

hi

1:59 am

2:05 am

montana646

Babblets and phantoms... what a grid!
Hi montana and broll.

montana646

hi mva

2:08 am

lynxxx

good morning to you MVA

2:09 am

broll

Hi all. I usually just lurk. Am too slow to chat (and there is that word entering problem!) .

2:11 am

lynxxx

don't worry bout that cause we all do it

2:12 am

sprite

I really hope you won't let the word entering problem of the site stop you from chatting, broll. It is such a shame that a lousy part of the setup of the site keeps people from saying their things. I always enjoy your company.

2:13 am

joey

ok, enlighten me, what is the famous baby buffalo?

2:13 am

broll

Thanks, but it's more the slowness. And the lateness of the hour (after 3:00 a.m. here).

2:13 am

broll

anoa

2:16 am

sprite

Almost the only babblet that isn't in the grid today, hehe.

2:17 am

lynxxx

see you later (if you haven't finished) - going to catch last hour of daylight

2:18 am

MVA

nite lynxx

2:18 am

Fireworks! Very nice one today. Bye lynxxx :)

2:19 am

EnigmaNeko

what does "fireworks" comment mean?

2:19 am

MVA

congrats sprite!!!

2:20 am

MVA

fireworks means sprite has completed the grid!!

2:21 am

EnigmaNeko

oh, ok...thanks for telling me, mva

2:22 am

sprite

Any clues needed before I leave?

2:23 am

elphaba

clue for the 10, sprite?

2:23 am

MVA

clue for the x pls?

2:24 am

MVA

char

2:24 am

sprite

i5/10 (between, among) + Ch5/14 (put one after another)

2:24 am

MVA

oops!!

2:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. The x was in the grid two days ago! x plus Mr Clapton

2:25 am

Haz1558

sprite - I see what you mean about babblets!

2:25 am

elphaba

aha! thanks, sprite

2:26 am

MVA

do i have the memory of a fish!! thanks haz!

2:26 am

sprite

All X's are Xe. We have:
-direct effect on a hybrid plant produced by the transfer of pollen from one strain to the endosperm of a different strain
- colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element found in minute quantities in the atmosphere
- Of, characterized by, or adapted to an extremely dry habitat (the X + man's name one)

2:27 am

sprite

They are almost all there today, Haz, indeed!

2:33 am

sprite

Okay, I am off, packing to do and last chores to clear before leaving for the week. I'll see you all back on Friday. Have fun, happy hunting and be well!

2:33 am

Haz1558

Hello Everyone

4:11 am

Angb

Evening all.

4:16 am

Frances

Morning all

4:17 am

Angb

Hi Frances

4:18 am

Frances

Very quiet here today!

4:18 am

Angb

Yep, must all be babbling I guess

4:20 am

lynxxx

hello - grid went down for a good half hour.

4:25 am

mattygroves

Morning all - how's the grid today?

4:26 am

lynxxx

Hi - great if you are an experienced Babbler or have a good memory - I'm struggling

4:27 am

Frances

Morning matty - interesting!!!

4:27 am

mattygroves

Interesting how, exacly....?

4:27 am

Angb

I thought yesterday's started better. Can't seem to get my head around this one.

4:28 am

Frances

Keep finding phantom words and not much more - 50 so far

4:37 am

mattygroves

Toughie today.

4:38 am

Angb

Glad that someone else is finding it. Got the list real early and found I had only 1 of some 12 an words! LOL.

4:38 am

mattygroves

That's one more than what I have - an word...hmmmm. I hate words that start with vowels...

4:39 am

Frances

Angb
Thanks for that - I've only got two

4:39 am

lynxxx

ditto - and I don't seem to be better off even with the list

4:40 am

Angb

Have you every wondered whether someone may one day play a dastardly trick and give the wrong list?

4:40 am

MVA

i'm going to get the list now, not so much slow today as stopped!

4:40 am

mattygroves

Guffaw!

4:41 am

Frances

Morning MVA. Hard going. Refusing to look at lists yet

4:41 am

Angb

And the only dictionary I have is my 8 year olds school one. It has only on millionth (?) of the words in it.

4:41 am

mattygroves

I've got the 10 - any clues for the 9 and the (akkk) 7 eights?

4:42 am

Frances

Angb
Because when you were at school there were so many words they didn't want you to know!

4:42 am

Angb

Oh sure. I'm still having problems finding any 4s!!!!

4:42 am

lynxxx

find a tr7.28 before you find the en matty

4:43 am

lynxxx

and you'll be able to hang that on an re as well

4:44 am

lynxxx

ch***** of fire

4:45 am

lynxxx

sorry - that last one was a seven. There is also some lemon 7s.

4:45 am

Frances

If you have a cr7/32 you can put another vowel in for a cr8/45

4:45 am

mattygroves

Still looking for the tr7/28 - I have a bunch of tr5, and managed to hang a en on one of those...

4:46 am

lynxxx

on your feet matty

4:47 am

mattygroves

Got it - you're a star (after having gone through sole, toe, arch, heel, trench foot, athlete's foot, metatarsel...)

4:47 am

Frances

lynxxx
Got my Sunday morning head on - what are lemon 7s?

4:48 am

lynxxx

I can't say what I was going to - as that is a word - so shall say hehe (!)

matty, cr8/45 is an amino acid, another cr8/45 is the act of making something.

BTW - have you worked out what food I hate?

ex8/65 is what you don't want to do too much of when you excercise.

re8/40 is something you pay an attorney to keep them at hand.

an8/40 - one who an6/18 the word before it

Mushrooms?

5:55 am

mattygroves

Yep. I wanted to use Marmite, but I couldn't find a picture with a dragon and marmite.

5:56 am

Frances

Love marmite

5:56 am

candy

FranMag - had I been near 'it' I would have set the dog free!!

5:56 am

mattygroves

You know that brown grease you get on the inside of the hinge of car doors...that's Marmite.

5:56 am

Frances

Oh but so tasty!!!!!!!!!

5:57 am

FranMag

times like those you want to be able to reach into the chat log!!

5:57 am

FranMag

is marmite like vegamite?

5:57 am

Frances

similar

5:57 am

Andree

vegimite is even nicer

5:57 am

Eva

I've never tasted marmite. An aussie friend of mine had a jar and I took a whiff. That was enough.

5:57 am

mattygroves

Yuck. It is, Fran. I'm sure Australians would say different, but to me, they are both absolutely vile. I think you have to grow up with it. Give me peanut butter and jam any day.

5:57 am

candy

Good job I'm not easy to offend otherwise I might not have ever come back again

5:57 am

FranMag

i had vegamite with green mangoes in Nauru when i was younger, yum!

5:58 am

Frances

Andree
Depends where you're from I guess. Marmite does it for me

5:58 am

Andree

we aussies love our vegimite

5:58 am

Jencatd

We get marmite here, and I like it. ^^ Peanut butter and jam are good to, but not in the same sandwich.

5:58 am

Jencatd

*too

5:58 am

mattygroves

They are both equally as bad as the other. Terry Pratchett would have you believe that Vegemite was invented when someone in the outback tried to make beer soup...and left it for too long.

5:59 am

Andree

I don't think there is much difference, marmite has a meat base{ I think}

5:59 am

mattygroves

In the States, you can get peanut butter complete with grape jam stripes. My mum wouldn't buy it for me, though.

5:59 am

mattygroves

No - Bovril has a meat base. Marmite is yeast.

5:59 am

FranMag

jen, now that's an awful thought...marmite, peanut butter and jam!!

5:59 am

spellit

I love marmite but hate peanut butter and as for eating it with jam - words fail me! But I love peanuts - how mad is that?

6:00 am

FranMag

it's a texture thing i'm sure spellit.

6:00 am

Jencatd

LOL, Terry Pratchett rocks. :D
True, Fran, but I was thinking more of the PB & J in one sandwich, rather than adding the marmite into the mix.

6:00 am

mattygroves

Spellit, my husband's the same. He likes Satay sauce, but won't eat peanut butter.

6:00 am

Eva

is this least favorite food day?

6:01 am

Andree

my favourite mix is peanut butter and honey

6:01 am

FranMag

yes eva.

6:01 am

mattygroves

I am now going to go defrost some bread...and once it's defrosted, make a peanut butter and jam sandwich. With homemade jam (sister inlaw)

6:01 am

FranMag

chunky peanut butter with honey Andree! yum!

6:02 am

mattygroves

Ewww - peanut butter and honey? Peanut butter and banana rocks, though!

6:02 am

Eva

hmmmm-that's a hard one. anchovies, tripe, snails,squid.Basically anthing from the sea. (yes I know tripe isnt from the sea, but still ewwwww)

6:05 am

Eva

as long as none of them touches my slices! Or even thinks about it

6:05 am

FranMag

we only order from papa john's because no one else uses anchovies anymore.

6:06 am

Eva

it annoys me that the dictionary still won't accept raita!

6:06 am

6:30 am

Flask1

Still the same Fran!!

6:30 am

Babbler

I'm ok, more or less too, Mab : )

6:31 am

FranMag

that means your isp has an old version stuck in their caches, not much you can do about that until their cache updates.

6:31 am

mab

I guess I ought to have put up a less controversial veg, like lima beans -- yech

6:31 am

caitlyn

Grace do you dislike eggs?

6:31 am

GraceM

oh yeah, yech to lima beans.

6:31 am

seano216k

what about my new icon...personally i love it...

6:31 am

mattygroves

ar5/12 please - not the one with headgear in it?

6:31 am

mab

oh dear, babs, I expect we'll survive.

6:31 am

mattygroves

Ewww Sean!

6:31 am

FranMag

mab, now there's one i can actually say i won't eat, lima beans!

6:32 am

caitlyn

And i do seano

6:32 am

Jencatd

Have you tried holding down Shift and refreshing the page, Flask?

6:32 am

Babbler

what are lima beans? I'll have to look them up.

6:32 am

mattygroves

Lima beans are, I think, broad beans.

6:32 am

FranMag

matty, don't have all the ARs yet.

6:32 am

Flask1

no....but I will now..

6:32 am

GraceM

giant squishy beans...

6:33 am

Babbler

Yummy!! I love broad beans!! Mmmmm!! :D

6:33 am

mab

you probably don't eat them in the UK -- too sophisticated; you probably treat them as silage if you grow them at all.

6:34 am

Flask1

tried it......nope...sorry...but thaks all for your help.....I shall have muddle throo with it....lolol

6:34 am

Frances

mab
Are you saying that we're too sophisticated or the beans are????

6:34 am

Babbler

Flask, why don't you use Brandyjack's list in BabAnon (if it's up)?

6:34 am

seano216k

are the uk residents too sophisticated, or the beans....couldn't work out your meaning

6:34 am

mab

yech----- for farm animals only, lima/broad beans. and as for sprouts, belgium can keep them

6:34 am

mab

you

6:35 am

Babbler

Mab will mean we're too sophisticated!

6:35 am

Frances

great minds think alike seano

6:35 am

seano216k

yep we sure were!

6:35 am

mab

sorry. very bad grammar. the beans are the bad ones. brits are the good ones.

6:35 am

Babbler

not broad beans - Lima Beans are butter beans! My favourite!! Mmmmmmm!!

6:36 am

Flask1

I use BJ'S list everyday......but I like to add the words to Lickety's so that I can keep track!

6:36 am

seano216k

hmmmm i think mab felt a backlash from this side of the pond then......

6:36 am

Frances

Thank you mab

6:37 am

Babbler

ahaa. well, before Lickety invented that list, I used to do something similar in Word. You might have to do that, Flask, if it's a tough grid. : /

6:37 am

Babbler

(if that's a helpful suggestion? dunno how helpful I'm being, Flask, lol!)

6:37 am

mattygroves

Oops thanks Babbler - got it wrong :D I'm sooo stuck. AR 5/12...at 6/18, ax 5/20 (the second)

6:38 am

mattygroves

I meant I got it wrong...

6:38 am

Flask1

ok thanks Babbler!

6:38 am

FranMag

matty, i have an ax5/20 that ends with a charged particle.

6:38 am

mab

you're welcom, frances. love brits, dislike greans in general (the kind one eats, not party members or trees, etc.)

6:39 am

mattygroves

I have that one, Fran...

6:39 am

Babbler

lol! I understood the first time, Matty! ;D Actually, you may be right, my source was Wikipedia, which can be incorrect. : /

6:39 am

caitlyn

LOL mab

6:40 am

Babbler

anyway, lima beans are beans and I love beans. : )

6:41 am

Babbler

I've gone off some of my greens. eg chard. not enjoying them at all. But spinach is ok. (and I used to adore spinach!).

6:41 am

Babbler

maybe I need the vitamins etc in red and orange and other colour fruit and veg?

6:41 am

FranMag

matty, the other ax5/20 ends like the end of ni4/4 (PM hours)

7:23 am

Wolvie

7:23 am

7:27 am

pam

ahhhh, wolvie, thanks. The good old body-builder word...

7:27 am

Wolvie

9:45 am

musicmom

I probably will until something forces me to quit

hurshy

unless acted upon by an outside force, which in this case is inside - her brain

9:51 am

hurshy

if something can be intractable, why can't we have intract? (ok, yes, this is close to other words, but how else am i supposed to ask my question?)

intractable is an antonym of tractable

9:52 am

Anniebrook

9:52 am

Anniebrook

Anniebrook

9:58 am

Byzantine

musicmom

10:16 am

stidmama

I have been enjoying the critter tales... I read one each day (to stretch them out)

10:16 am

musicmom

musicmom

{{{{MUSICMOM}}}}

10:16 am

hurshy

look, i didn't mean to be rude, and i have had personal chats in here when i haven't had access to IM, but since no one else was talking, i just thought maybe...

10:16 am

sherb

10:16 am

Haz1558

Hello stidmama!

10:17 am

stidmama

musicmom

Hi stid. Enjoyed your pictures of Canada!

10:17 am

FMitch

10:17 am

musicmom

10:17 am

musicmom

Ahhhhh all feels right with the world seeing all my friends again.

10:17 am

stidmama

10:17 am

10:18 am

musicmom

yps - can you pick a few things up for me.

10:18 am

stidmama

hi FMitch!

10:18 am

bonkler

story? i wondered what that was all about.

10:19 am

musicmom

It was a crazy week stid. Weddings, classes, babysitting toddlers -NO babble brain in my head when I finally sat down about 11 p.m. every night

10:19 am

stidmama

LOL bonkler! it started one day when the grid was a mere 40 words... and everyone was bored.

10:19 am

stidmama

It kinda caught on.

10:19 am

hurshy

marc, whatever on7 is, it comes from the bottom O

10:19 am

FMitch

Hey musicmom, Haz, sherb and stidmama - great to see you and Hi to everyone else

10:19 am

musicmom

LOL stid

10:19 am

stidmama

hm. thanks Hurshy, was looking for where to start!

10:20 am

stidmama

well, Ontario isn't there... *searches some more*

10:20 am

Haz1558

on7 - first number, vowel, shortened version of the Lionheart King or Burton the actor

10:21 am

hurshy

ty haz

10:21 am

ExWren

Hi everybody. Ive been in and out of the grid all day, so not doing too well, only have 40 words so far, and I haven't reached the re's yet!

10:21 am

bonkler

sorry but i thought you were off on a tangent. so i tuned out of the chat. i wondered what are you on about with people crying at birds and putting chairs properly under the table. lol

10:21 am

Marc Freeman

I got it. thanks but on5/10 is very tricky and can't find it.

10:21 am

Smiley23_47393

is shorty on

10:21 am

stidmama

MARC! it's a vegetable!!!!!!

10:21 am

hurshy

no, on5 isn't tricky, think shrek

10:21 am

stidmama

go ExWren go!

10:21 am

Haz1558

on5/10 will make you weep when you find it.

10:22 am

hurshy

is marc a vegetable salesman? why are you so horrified stid?

10:22 am

musicmom

Got the on 7 thanks Haz

10:22 am

musicmom

Layers upon layers of shrek

10:22 am

hetty

That"on" word means having the quaity of dreams--much like myself this a.m., Morning all

10:22 am

Marc Freeman

Oh! got it. Thanks a little slow this morning.

10:22 am

Marc Freeman

Oh! got it. Thanks a little slow this morning.

10:22 am

FMitch

lol musicmom

10:22 am

stidmama

ha! the ON 7 is like my story "Of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams"

10:23 am

emusing

hi, all.

10:23 am

musicmom

parfaits have layers too

10:23 am

stidmama

because the AN will be clued as "vegetable-like" hurshy! (it always is... LOL

10:23 am

stidmama

hi emusing!

10:23 am

hurshy

and trifles

10:23 am

hetty

Stid, get out of my head

10:23 am

hurshy

an5 can also be clued as opposite of ca6 though

10:24 am

musicmom

and lasagne

10:24 am

hurshy

and bricks

10:25 am

stidmama

oh, good morning hetty! I see you beat me to the punch on the definition... :-)

10:25 am

hurshy

and chicken farmers

10:25 am

musicmom

and sedimentary rock (or is it metamorphic?)

10:25 am

musicmom

LOL hurshy

10:25 am

musicmom

and certain cakes

10:25 am

stidmama

sedimentary, musicmom... like the strata in my kids' rooms...

10:25 am

hetty

Only because I had a full night of dreams, Stid

10:26 am

stidmama

are you okay, dear hetty

10:26 am

hurshy

once they get to be teenagers it'll turn into sedentary, stid

10:26 am

musicmom

I was right! (pat pat pat my back)

10:27 am

musicmom

I was conniving this week. I paid Sarah $5 to clean Hannah's room while Hannah was at Grandma's house

10:27 am

stidmama

LOL musicmom!

10:27 am

musicmom

If only she would clean her own room as well. She won't even do that for $$

10:27 am

hurshy

so pay hannah to clean sarah's room

10:27 am

stidmama

I was going to excavate Grant's room while they were at camp, but it was too hot that week -- so this last week he started cleaning it himself!

10:28 am

hurshy

like steven colbert's suggestion that all the housewives just move one house over and be paid to be nannies for the neighbors' kids...

10:28 am

stidmama

so the answer to the age-old question is: when you can't get to your favorite toys, it's time to clean up.

10:28 am

musicmom

LOL hurshy. I don't think Sarah will be gone for me to do that. NO way is she going to allow her 6 year old sister in there while she is home.

10:28 am

hetty

Of course. But last night Alan and I watched a DVD called NORMAL--jJessica Lange and Tok Wilkinson--and t was so compelling that afterwards we talked and talked and slept uneasily

10:28 am

musicmom

I love Steven Colbert --- what a smart man

10:28 am

hetty

I recommend it unreservedly to everyone

10:29 am

musicmom

Sounds interesting Hetty

10:29 am

hurshy

i say just let them be messy. my theory is whatever you do as a kid, you will do the opposite as an adult. i was messy, now i'm neat.

10:29 am

musicmom

I'll have to check it out

10:29 am

hurshy

oops, used a word

10:29 am

Alex7777

how many words total?

10:29 am

Alex7777

how many words total?

10:29 am

musicmom

That is true Hurshy. Something about paying a mortgage has made me more anal about cleanliness

10:29 am

hurshy

180

10:29 am

stidmama

oh -- but probably for morning viewing for me (anything that keeps others tossing and turning would keep me completely awake!)

10:29 am

stidmama

180 Alex

10:29 am

lmustudents

180 Alex

10:30 am

hetty

You need to wattch it with your Tom, Stid.

10:30 am

stidmama

didn't happen for me, unfortunately, but then my house growing up was nightmareishly clean... what I consider "total disaster" is actually comfortable to many of my friends!

10:31 am

Ouwachita

DONE...anyone need a clue??

10:31 am

musicmom

LOL stid

10:31 am

musicmom

No thanks Ouw. Bravo!

10:31 am

hurshy

yes, what does the 9 start with?

10:31 am

stidmama

but the rule for the children's rooms is: there must be a clear and direct path from the door to the bed and from the bed to the window by bedtime... safety is what's important, not looks.

10:32 am

stidmama

the 9 is E

10:32 am

musicmom

Okay time to prepare brunch. Be back later.

10:32 am

hetty

I* think "Normal" was inspired by the true story of Jan Morris, if anyone's interested

10:32 am

musicmom

I do the same thing stid. I want an escape route in their rooms.

10:32 am

stidmama

hurshy -- do you want which E or the second letter?

10:32 am

stidmama

later musicmom!

10:32 am

hurshy

i am guessing it starts with either en5/10 or ex5/20?

10:32 am

unlink

How does this game work? What are the rules?

10:32 am

stidmama

*looks up Jan Morris)

10:33 am

stidmama

actually, the en 7, hurshy...

10:33 am

Ouwachita

en9/54...hurshy

10:33 am

oggy

afternoon all, just finished work. how are u all today.

10:33 am

hurshy

unlink, you might want to start by reading "Help" above the chat, then see what questions you still have?

10:33 am

unlink

ty

10:33 am

hurshy

which en7?!

10:34 am

hurshy

oh got it

10:34 am

stidmama

hm. she sounds like an interesting person. I have friends like her...

10:34 am

stidmama

unlink, the other resource new people find helpful is Angelsong's Resource Page, link at the bottom of the "FRiends of Babble" section on this page.

10:35 am

hetty

She started life as a "he" and became a "she",contnuing in a loving marriage with her wife of many years and the mother of her children. She's also a great writer of many kinds of books, both earlier as a man and now as a woman

10:35 am

stidmama

hi oggy! so much better than the last couple of days.

10:35 am

hurshy

today seems like the highest proportion of 7+ letter words that i have ever seen

10:35 am

stidmama

my friends were not so lucky in their relationships, unfortunately...

10:36 am

stidmama

and sprite was amazed at the number of babblets in the grid as well, hurshy.

10:36 am

hurshy

if only sprite wouldn't go and do the whole grid while i'm sleeping so i could get her clues... :)

10:37 am

stidmama

(they're in the archives, hurshy ;-) )

10:37 am

hurshy

true, but it takes so long to load...

10:38 am

oggy

whats been wrong with you, stid

10:38 am

stidmama

ah. *wrinkles brow, trying to remember* well, the "funny fence" is here, and a "chilly fog" (don't know that word), and shakespeare for "later"...

10:39 am

hurshy

got the shakespeare one at least...

10:39 am

stidmama

I don't quite know, oggy -- Grant seems to have brought a nonspecific virus home from camp, and he and I spent the last few days with fevers and headaches. Better now, though :-)

10:39 am

hurshy

i don't even think of that as a babblet...it's shakespeare!

10:39 am

hurshy

but there's the greek temple and the volcano

10:39 am

stidmama

yep, those are there!

10:40 am

hurshy

and the t with all the vowels

10:40 am

stidmama

the fish genus like the "skate"

10:40 am

stidmama

the t that sounds like it belongs on a guitar...

10:40 am

stidmama

one of the X 5s was in the grid a couple days ago

10:41 am

hurshy

yup. ok i have no idea whether or not i have the fish genus, funny fence, or chilly fog

10:41 am

hurshy

yeah i just looked in the dictionary for x's anyway

10:41 am

stidmama

there is an undefined T 5 that looks greek to me...

10:41 am

Marc Freeman

Any clues on in10/84

10:41 am

stidmama

there is an undefined T 5 that looks greek to me...

10:42 am

stidmama

the fish is ra 4, the fence is ha 4 and sprite said the fog was also ha 4, but I am not sure what that would be.

10:42 am

hurshy

the 5/10 you mean?

10:42 am

stidmama

compound word, Marc -- "between links" is how it translates...

10:42 am

hurshy

marc, prefix plus think with links

10:42 am

hurshy

oh i have the fish then

10:42 am

stidmama

yes hurshy

10:43 am

10:52 am

stidmama

thanks oggy!

10:52 am

hurshy

yikes,

10:52 am

ch1212

lianakate, don't know if it would help, but the ingredient in the antihistamine Benadryl is supposed to be great for itchy skin or rashes of any kind.

10:53 am

lianakate

HA...ch..bubble baths I can do..No freakin choco..am diabetic..the babble is a life saver..

10:53 am

stidmama

11:13 am

lshult

11:13 am

stidmama

*giggle* only slightly?!?

11:13 am

stidmama

11:13 am

hurshy

11:14 am

lshult

11:14 am

hurshy

you an6 my head with oil, my cup overflows

11:14 am

katusha

Sorry, but what exactly does the priest do with the an6 word????? with oil.....? Hi everyone!

11:14 am

featherbee

ok, off to nap. later!

11:15 am

lshult

Hurshy- lucky for me I live in the far south and am safe, my heart is breaking for the families up in the north of the country!!

11:15 am

hurshy

you know, he just, like, puts it on your head, to signify that you are blessed, or have been set apart to be king, or whatever

11:15 am

stidmama

hi katusha, it's an ancient practice of "blessing" with scented oils -- the oil helps extend the scent. it ends with the first four letters of the stuff you put on cuts and scratches to help it heal

11:15 am

katusha

I have a daughter stationed not far from you Ishult.....

11:15 am

stidmama

later feather.

hurshy

war is not nice

11:16 am

stidmama

katusha -- are you there also?

11:16 am

lshult

Where is she (and where are you for that matter)?

11:16 am

katusha

yes..... thus the name, this game is helping me through the mess....

11:17 am

ch1212

Katusha, here's another clue: If I select you to be president of the club, then I ap***** you to be president. So .... the an word you want is that ap word minus the double consonant

11:17 am

stidmama

{{{katusha and lshult}}}

11:19 am

katusha

ok, one more itty bit clue,.... I have brain freeze apparently,.... I am just north of Tel-Aviv

11:19 am

katusha

My son is up north

11:19 am

hurshy

you can have as many clues as you want!

11:19 am

lshult

where is your daughter stationed?

11:20 am

katusha

I didn't mean to make you guys feel guilty....

11:20 am

hurshy

11:21 am

lshult

I'm not religious, but I'll pray for your sons safe return & a quick end to this war!!

11:21 am

ch1212

you didn't katusha -- I think most of us are keeping everyone in the middle east in seriously good thoughts right now, and serious prayer. Especially for those we know who have families there, or who are there themselves, like you and ishult.

11:21 am

hurshy

hurshy

that's the one i've got, oggy, thanks though

11:30 am

oggy

11:30 am

ch1212

hurshy if you have the cr8 drop the vowel off the end

11:31 am

hurshy

thanks ch1212, wonder why i didn't think of that sooner

11:32 am

hurshy

hmm, it doesn't work with the other ca6/21 i have, i must need that 6 as well

11:32 am

katusha

my thoughts exactly

11:32 am

hurshy

got it! yay! thanks oggy

11:32 am

oggy

there are 3 ca6/21 its the first 2 u want

11:33 am

hurshy

so that just leaves the ta... the one i have has to do with you-know-what

11:34 am

oggy

the 1st ta just add a vowel to the ta6 before it

11:35 am

hurshy

looks like another case of needing a 6

11:35 am

evanonut

11:36 am

hurshy

curry like food or curry like a horse?

11:37 am

oggy

11:37 am

11:38 am

hurshy

oggy, help with the ta 6 that i need to add a vowel to in order to get the 7?

11:39 am

ch1212

Ever notice that Dr_God often includes some word having to do with the day's theme? I think he does that on purpose, and the food he ha**s is probably the on*** too. :)

11:39 am

evanonut

okay, back to work, will pop in later

11:39 am

ch1212

11:40 am

oggy

sorry the best i can do

11:40 am

hurshy

katusha, it's an adj you find before the word sex... the kama sutra deals with it i believe

11:40 am

ch1212

katusha, if you are a fan of Sting, you might have heard that he and Trudi enjoy ta**** sex ...

11:40 am

hurshy

12:48 pm

chj

12:48 pm

pam

nixon has a way of doing that...

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

chj

peachy nut

12:49 pm

hurshy

i use on5 powder so i can have the flavor without the texture...

12:49 pm

Babbler

I love on***s. Love them!

12:49 pm

chj

not to be confused with the leechi nut

12:50 pm

GreyWoulf

properly caramelised on**s are wonderful, especially with a dash of brown sugar added in

12:50 pm

Babbler

WordRock - have it with ice cream : )

12:50 pm

GreyWoulf

one of my favorite dishes is fried green beans with garlic and onions

12:51 pm

pam

12:51 pm

Babbler

12:51 pm

renfield

12:51 pm

pam

12:51 pm

chj

ren said a word

12:51 pm

musicmom

Are we eating carmalized on5 with ice cream?

12:51 pm

WordsRock

With peach pie, evidently.

12:52 pm

bonkler

courgette = zucchini

12:52 pm

Babbler

I did it earlier, GW, don't worry. I don't know why we don't just all type it in full. It's not like no one knows it's there, LOL

12:52 pm

Babbler

no musicmom - peach pie and ice cream!

12:52 pm

ypsigirl

wow I just got the 10 so much easier than I thought

12:52 pm

hurshy

courgette is certainly a prettier word than zucchini

12:52 pm

renfield

ye can walk the plank chj

12:52 pm

pam

Thanks, bonkler@

12:52 pm

Babbler

Pam - courgettes = zuccini

12:52 pm

shorty

12:53 pm

pam

thanks, babbler

12:53 pm

GreyWoulf

12:53 pm

pam

I roast garlic whole and eat it

12:53 pm

chj

glug...glug...glug

12:53 pm

ypsigirl

no reason hursh! ;)

12:53 pm

Babbler

shorty, I think I saw a recipe for gazpacho the other day and I think it said you crush raw onions into it. The whole thing wasn't cooked at all!

12:53 pm

pam

phantom--honor

12:53 pm

shorty

OH I should try that!

12:53 pm

hurshy

lara seemed upset, convey my apologies? i only meant it as a gentle suggestion...

12:53 pm

GreyWoulf

shorty -- an old Italian folk cure for a cold is to eat a clove of raw garlic with a shot of lemon juice

It works!!

12:53 pm

gwenski

I have a tub of Starbucks Coffee Ice Cream in the freezer, if anyone's interested. All this talk of ice cream...

12:54 pm

hurshy

i think i'd rather have the cold, GW :)

12:54 pm

Babbler

yup, I have Mackie's vanilla ice cream in my freezer. Anybody?

12:54 pm

shorty

mmmmmmmmm I will try that the next time I get a cold

12:54 pm

Babbler

GW - you're right. garlic will kill just about any bug. It's another superfood. (along with on5, cabbages etc)

12:55 pm

GreyWoulf

hursh -- I thought the same when I first heard it, but the garlic burns a little but the lemon juice kills the odor

12:55 pm

ypsigirl

oh we know... we just got to babbling on because she's my best friend/cousin and lives 750 miles away

12:55 pm

musicmom

I have cookies and cream ice cream

12:55 pm

1:51 pm

hurshy

according to my theory, developed in my undergraduate research, everyone has a dessert pouch. no matter how full you are, you can always fit in some dessert, because the dessert pouch is inaccessible to other food. my friend chewy added the corollary theorem that some people have a chicken mcnugget pouch.

1:51 pm

mattygroves

I know. It's funny. Ya see...I'm American. My passport says so and everything. But I left the States on my 20th birthday. So to me, it's rocket, not arugula (or whatever.) and coriander, not cilantro.

2:29 pm

renfield

2:29 pm

gwenski

Yes, thanks. Got 'em. Just a bit impatient. SOrry

2:29 pm

mattygroves

2:30 pm

hurshy

2:30 pm

Krista

Just like my husband, Matty, he left here at 17, was in England until age 33. It took me forever to figure out what rocket was!

2:31 pm

Krista

I just went on a Marmite search yesterday. Finally found some at almost 6 dollars for a tiny jar.

2:33 pm

hurshy

2:33 pm

Krista

the marmite was for my 5-year old. Oh geesh, get me started talking about food and I never stop. I'm really going now.

3:31 pm

Frances

3:31 pm

3:33 pm

sherb

3:33 pm

chj

i drove to the top of a 14er, mount evans, which is just outside of denver

3:33 pm

hurshy

3:33 pm

chj

cant be better than me at trivial pursuit...or jeopardy

3:34 pm

hurshy

wanna bet? i bet you guys would really enjoy being friends either way! :)

3:34 pm

sherb

there must be a catch hurshy... is there anything else we should know...?

3:34 pm

renfield

hey sherb!!!

3:34 pm

sherb

rennie!!!

3:35 pm

hurshy

he has a cat and a dog, no catch, honest, he's a really great guy, and if you are really wanting kids and getting to "that age" and fearing you won't have them, well, he's feeling the same way

3:35 pm

chj

do you have any good looking sisters, aunts or female cousins

3:35 pm

hurshy

he's divorced, but only cause his wife was crazy and left him (years ago).

3:35 pm

hurshy

i do have good looking female relatives but they are all taken :(

3:36 pm

chj

:-(

3:36 pm

hurshy

oh, my uncle has been a little depressed since he had a skiing accident, his wife left, and his cat died, all in the same year, but a good new relationship could clear that right up!

3:37 pm

hurshy

sorry chj :( but babble is mostly female, you don't need my relatives to find somebody :)

3:37 pm

chj

what did he do..a sonny bono

3:37 pm

sherb

maybe you should get him to play Babble and we could get to know him better...

3:37 pm

chj

3:37 pm

renfield

sonny died......

3:37 pm

hurshy

3:38 pm

hurshy

3:38 pm

hurshy

3:39 pm

chj

someone else did that too..was it one of the kennedys?

3:39 pm

hurshy

that's a catch, it would be a pain going through airport security with him

3:39 pm

hurshy

yes, a kennedy, i forget which one, but they were like, playing football on skis or something really stupid like that

3:39 pm

renfield

4:07 pm

hurshy

seems like the ch4 log has a pirate theme today

4:07 pm

smithchick

I'm too lazy to even attempt to blog.

4:08 pm

nrkii

I'm annoyed because yesterday I found the PERFECT pirate icon for ren, and now I don't remember where it was!

4:09 pm

harpjane

4:10 pm

hurshy

yeah, you can get the C in a circle from the Symbol font in character map (accessories)

4:10 pm

ren8

thank you, just realised that now you have said it again franmag, cheers

4:10 pm

nrkii

hmmmm, would it be that simple? just put that on every post?

4:10 pm

FranMag

no worries ren8! :-)

4:11 pm

hurshy

well i don't know if it's official but it's like putting a burglar alarm sticker on your window even w/o an alarm - it does SOME good

4:11 pm

LeslieAnn

xe 5/22? can't monkey to save my life...

4:11 pm

hurshy

x + **** the Red

4:11 pm

4:11 pm

nrkii

(sorry, for those of you who were subjected to my copyright questions last night too!)

4:11 pm

FranMag

leslie, has to do with dry climates

4:11 pm

renfield

there was a ruling in 1998 on internet property. i think you could find it in a search or perhaps chj can remember it.

4:11 pm

chj

im no copyright expert (took a course on the then new copyright act of 1976 in law school), but that should give you some protection

4:12 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks folks

4:12 pm

FranMag

search for creative commons license (or something like that)

4:12 pm

chj

sorry, i dont but i could do a little research

4:12 pm

FranMag

that last post was for nrk.

4:13 pm

nrkii

I found the creative commons license, that's what I'm struggling with now... it's cool and easy, except for the stupid formatting

4:13 pm

hurshy

or you could put up a thing that says "DON'T STEAL MY WORDS YOU BIG MEANIES OR I'LL GET MY BROTHER AFTER YOU", and then put up a pic of some really scary looking guy

4:13 pm

nrkii

hurshy, LOL, I like that best

4:13 pm

nrkii

I could post mean pictures of my brothers too, that might make it even more convincing

4:13 pm

ren8

my last one, tr5/12, any clues please

4:13 pm

chj

a scary looking pirate would be better

4:14 pm

nrkii

tr + take a role in a movie or play

4:14 pm

FranMag

ren8, tr*** housing

4:14 pm

hurshy

160 acres is a sizeable tr5/12 of land

chj

nrkii..i was distracted for a bit, but i just went back over the chat from 10 minutes ago and realized that you asked a good question about whether the copyright notice had to use your real name or whether nrkii was ok? dont know the answer off hand, but typically the notice uses a the copyright holders name or the name of a corporation; perhaps if nrkii were a trademark...i just dont know...ill see what i can find out

4:48 pm

chj

we met doing the starbucks ultimate crossword puzzle challenge

4:48 pm

nrkii

4:48 pm

nrkii
