12:53 am
helenkeller
bite your tongue saintfranny - like boog, are you kidding? he is a derelict (there is so much that goes on that is never shown on tv - the business in the pool box sealed it for me with boog -he's just gross)

ladynoire1013
I was close, just over 300, before I had to give up
10:04 am
FMitch
Yes TO it's a bo6 & 7 combo
10:04 am
Becca Lorum
I got to 240 ish. But made 200 with no clues, so I was pretty chuffed about that

10:11 am
Aloyisius
whatever you get, unmatched.. just enjoy the search.. you can check out "rankings" to see the wide span .. depends on how much time you want to spend.
10:11 am
amandacath

72 Temple Owl
raio
10:13 am
amandacath
lady, there's almost always - well, quite often - a fish in the grid. It's the ichthyologist conspiracy to take over the world
10:14 am
ladynoire1013
Amanda, I knew it!!!
10:14 am
ladynoire1013
whats the fish clue?
10:15 am
amandacath
one of the 8's is most feline
10:16 am
FMitch
There is a ca8/45 - male singer with very high voice.
ca8/45 - work through the feline words to get to the 8.
2 x h8/45 and a 9 build on the beating organ.
10:16 am
ladynoire1013
not to mention more feline than that
10:16 am
Becca Lorum
And one of the 8's is the most vermin like
10:17 am
Becca Lorum
Great clues FMitch
10:18 am
ladynoire1013
FM I got one of the he8's, can you clue the other?
10:19 am
FMitch
Another is the sc8/45 more brief/revealing perhaps?
ta 7& 8 combo lay in the sun for a t** and add Scarlet O'Hara's home
10:19 am
Becca Lorum
Lady, one he is more than, the other is the most
10:20 am
FMitch
HA8 - one is more so and the other is "ahoy me ..." the most is the 9.
10:20 am
Becca Lorum
FMitch - where did Scarlet live?
10:20 am
ladynoire1013
ooh, great clue, FM, thanks!
10:21 am
Becca Lorum
Oh, oops, thanks for correction FMitch :) *looks sheepish*
10:22 am
Ragalla
where scarlet lived is also a girls name
10:22 am
FMitch
It was the name of the house and plantation she had. Failing that think of T*** Palmer Tompkinson
10:22 am
amandacath
in Georgia, Becca. Or maybe in an ancient Irish place

72 Temple Owl
did we ever get a clue for the he8 not realted to our pumping organ?
10:44 am
amandacath
they're all related, sort of. The one that's a bit different: "Ahoy, me h8..."
10:45 am
72 Temple Owl
or are both related to it?
10:45 am
Calqhoon
the plural and the more-so.
10:45 am
72 Temple Owl
ty amanda! i am missing a 9 not he 9
10:46 am
Calqhoon
Related to the TA6 Owl.
10:46 am
FMitch
TO amanda is clueing you the other 8
10:46 am
72 Temple Owl
i don't have ta6 : (
10:48 am
amandacath
sorry, I'm filling in the list so am not paying close attention to the chat - I think that ta6 that the 9 is related to is the sex one, right?
10:48 am
Calqhoon
TA/6: combat strategy
10:49 am
unmatcheds0cks
can someone explain what TA/6 and things like this mean?
10:49 am
unmatcheds0cks
I'm not sure how your clues work
10:49 am
stidmama
unmatched -- most people are using a "list"
10:50 am
stidmama
sorry -- such as "Lickety's List" link at bottom of this page.
10:50 am
unmatcheds0cks
is this a subscription thing?
10:50 am
stidmama
The letters they are giving start the word, the first numer is how many letters in the word and the second is how many points the word is worth.
10:50 am
stidmama
Lickety's list is free.
10:51 am
amandacath
wait a minute! are we talking about the same ta6? So you're making love and war at the same time?
10:51 am
unmatcheds0cks
thankyou for the answer and the link.
10:51 am
stidmama
The Tile Stats and Word Stats under the grid are availalbe only for the first two weeks for new people, then you need to subscribe to keep them.
10:51 am
unmatcheds0cks
much appreciated
10:51 am
stidmama
unmatched: please check out Angelsong's Resource pages, link also at the bottom of this one. She not only has the basic rules for this game, but also links to dozens of helpful sites.
10:52 am
stidmama

10:52 am
FMitch
and the only othe rthing to say is - be warned this can ve a very adictive game, enjoy!!!!
10:52 am
Aloyisius

11:00 am
72 Temple Owl
GREAT clue, stid! *scratches head* i know i've been signle for a while but how does that relate to sex???

bye for now, stid..
11:03 am
72 Temple Owl
and amanda i did not have that other ta - ty!
11:05 am
amandacath
ok, now I get it - helps if one looks at the word-list before one gives clues. But ta6/18ic ta7/36 is a nice combo - say it 5 times fast!

deborahsue - is this my sister?
12:38 pm
Judi
On the bright side... I just found the bo-fish.
12:39 pm
torgone
sharing?
12:39 pm
Judi
No sharing. That would be cheating.

Vicuna
torgone, bo6/27 - if I'm getting my pop reference right, it's the youngest Brady bunch boy minus the -du- in the middle
12:42 pm
Wolvie
that is too funny vic - I just had monkeyed that!
12:42 pm
oggy
help with ar5/6 please
12:43 pm
Vicuna
Or you could think of it as a beautiful Italian fish and see where that gets you...
12:44 pm
Wolvie
take the du out of danny b**du**, tor
12:44 pm
Vicuna
or, you could think of the numbers used to create the golden section and take off the fi- in front and a -c- toward the end.
12:45 pm
Wolvie
LOL - keep going vic!
12:45 pm
torgone
OOOOOOHHHH!!!! Partidge Family, not Brady Bunch ..
12:45 pm
Atalante
thats a good one Vic!
12:45 pm
Vicuna
Sorry. I did warn you I was a little iffy on the pop reference! :)
12:45 pm
Angelsong
the ts7 and 8 are good wards. think of what happens when a plantation from Gone With The Wind is out in the sun too long for the 7. The 8 is plural.
12:46 pm
Wolvie
when a plantation is out in the sun too lone - hmmm
12:46 pm
dodge
ar and what you wear on your head oggy
12:46 pm
Angelsong
I can't type! my clue for the t7 and 8 is a TA, not ts.
12:46 pm
Vicuna
Ha ha, Angelsong! I think that plantation was out in the sun WAY too long!
12:47 pm
Angelsong
Vicuna, that's cute.
12:47 pm
Vicuna
Wolvie, it's the sound trumpets make when they're doing a fanfare.
12:47 pm
Wolvie
ah! thanks vic
12:49 pm
Atalante
well I've worked out the first 4 letters of it ... now for the last 3!
12:49 pm
Vicuna
Which one are you after, Atalante?
12:50 pm
Atalante
the sunburnt plantation!
12:50 pm
Vicuna
Oh. That's also the trumpet fanfare, if that helps.
12:52 pm
Takuma Sato
Hi all. Has someone clued one of the big ones recently? (I logged on then immediately had a repairman showed up)
12:52 pm
Wolvie
ata - think what sunshine does to your skin(not burn) and the name of the GWTW plantation
12:53 pm
Vicuna
The plantation is also the name of ice skater Lipinsky.
12:53 pm
Vicuna
And the name of the ancient Irish seat of High Kings.
12:53 pm
Atalante
oh! was looking for it the wrong way round! plantation first
12:53 pm
Lara226
Oh.. I was doing the plantation firts
12:54 pm
Vicuna
Or a famous fancy penannular brooch...
12:55 pm
Atalante
and of course take one of the vowels out for a very different meaning ...
12:55 pm
Wolvie
ata, going that way will get you to the ta 6/18...
12:55 pm
Wolvie
okay, vic - are you doing trivia? ;-)
12:55 pm
Vicuna
I'm on a roll, here, Wolvie, don't get in my way! :)
12:57 pm
Atalante
and if it were possible, which it isn't, one could change the "ra" in the plantation word for "rara" and have a longer trumpet fanfare!
12:57 pm
Vicuna
Is that the ta6/18 that's plaid, you're referring to?
12:58 pm
Wolvie
taking liberties, of course. ;-)
12:58 pm
Vicuna
By the way, it's really bugging me that I can never quite get to "restaurant"...
12:59 pm
Wolvie
keep going and you will be wanting to eat out tonite. ;-)
1:01 pm
Wolvie
you can sometimes get ta 7/28 food at one. ;-)
1:05 pm
Angelsong
Finished!
1:06 pm
Angelsong
Finished!
1:06 pm
Wolvie
wow - major slow down - bbl
1:06 pm
torgone
Twice? Yay!
1:07 pm

Hmm... I need to look for ta7 food...

Hmm... I need to look for ta7 food...
Congrats, Angelsong!

there's something that rhymes with "naughty bits" in this puzzle
1:16 pm
mari
angelsong - did you break Babble??!!
1:17 pm
Atalante
bad angel!!!!
1:17 pm
Douglas
I'm entering words..., and people are rebuking angel for breaking Babble, so Babble must be working, sort of...
1:18 pm
Vicuna
Maybe Babble broke Angelsong. :(
1:19 pm
mari
Gosh I hope she's OK
1:19 pm
Vicuna
Well, she had finished already, so at least she was happy when the end came...
1:21 pm
mari
Yes ther's much to be thankfull for - I WISH
1:21 pm
Douglas
My analyst told me, that I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment, but I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined,
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he said I was nuts, no more ifs or **** or buts
1:22 pm
Vicuna
But Douglas, you used another word, too!
1:22 pm
magzel
i can't find the bo words, can i have another clue please
1:22 pm
Douglas
Why can't they say that ****
Is ten zillion light years away?
Why can't the light of good
Shine God's love in every soul?
1:23 pm
walnutchen
morning all.. how many total today?
1:23 pm
TheFiz
morning walnutchen - 268
1:24 pm
Vicuna
magzel, bo6/27 starts like Napolean, but ends with the first two letters of a big town like, say, Boston
1:24 pm
Douglas
Oops...sorry about that Vicuna...
1:24 pm
walnutchen
morning fiz! thanks.
1:25 pm
TheFiz
magzel - like danny from the partridge family's last name without a "du"
1:25 pm
walnutchen
how are them sock animals coming along?
1:25 pm
TheFiz
hurt my wrist, walnutchen - not folding laundry *or* making sock animals. and trying to limit the chatting, too - typing hurts :(
1:26 pm
Charm
afternoon all
1:26 pm
magzel
thanks i got them now. that's a weird wprd
1:26 pm
walnutchen
fiz! oh no! carpel tunnel? I heard that can be very painful!
1:26 pm
Vicuna
Ouch, Fiz, I hope it feels better soon!
1:28 pm
TheFiz
my dr. says not carpal tunnel - it's an "overuse injury" brought on by too much knitting, typing, and sewing, and exacerbated by the major food prep i did for a party this past weekend. gotta get a brace and be nice to it - a good excuse not to do various household chores
1:29 pm
TheFiz
my suggestion is that no one else decide to make 25 avocados worth of guacamole at one sitting!
1:29 pm
walnutchen
fiz... including laundry? just kidding. Well, take care - not being able to babble would be a major bummerage!
1:30 pm
stidmama
Fiz-- have you not heard of that new invention? I think it's called a "food processor"!
1:30 pm
TheFiz
walnut - 3 clean loads in the basement waiting to be folded....i just cant do it! and 1-handed typing is really annoying so i'll be a little quiet - but i'll be watching....
1:30 pm
torgone
Aw fiz ... :( Hope you feel better ..
1:30 pm
stidmama
hi all, back from getting the boys' teacher assignments.
1:31 pm
TheFiz
lol stid - i'm a luddite. no dishwasher either.
1:31 pm
walnutchen
stid! You can't make guac in a food processor!!!! Then the avo's are not chunky no more!
1:31 pm
Douglas
I don't mean to go on a ****, but...

Hi all - again just dropping in - another busy day and another big grid :(
1:32 pm
abe79
hi all. may i have a slight push toward the 9's?
1:32 pm
stidmama
Fiz -- don't reply, but know that I understand only too well about RSI, and definitely don't "push" yourself to do anything. Take your anti-inflammatory meds as directed, not just when it hurts -- and DO use ice on the joint periodically to keep the swelling down... {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
1:32 pm
Uneaixoise
fabulous hat, jillibus
1:32 pm
jillibus
merci, une!
1:32 pm
stidmama
I am enjoying the great hats, everyone!
1:33 pm
jillibus
I like Mona's too
1:33 pm
Charm
ta9 = based on the ta6 meaning military maneuvers - one who makes those moves.
1:33 pm
stidmama
Jill -- I am not overly busy, but have decided that grids over 150 are going to be "finish if a miracle happens" grids...
1:33 pm
Charm
he9 = based on the cardiac organ - the most hale & he*******.
1:33 pm
jillibus
me too, stid
1:33 pm
debbinla
hi all - is there another spelling of danny - partridge family for the bo -- i keep trying bo + hump letter + high card - and it says it's not found
1:34 pm
Vicuna
he9/60 - most chunky as in soup, or most healthy as in pirates
1:34 pm
abe79
thanks Charm
1:34 pm
stidmama
end letter is NOT e, debb....
1:34 pm
jillibus
thanks, charm, for that ta9!
1:34 pm
Charm
bo6/27 = fr. for good + high card sub another vowel for the final.
1:34 pm
abe79
thanks vicuna
1:34 pm
Douglas
phantom sector
1:35 pm
Vicuna
Watch out everyone, Douglas has just entered the phantom sector!
1:35 pm
debbinla
thanks stid and charm - thought i was going INSANE
1:35 pm
jillibus
stid - I trust your migraine is in abeyance?
1:35 pm
Vicuna
(But I'm still hanging out at the phantom restaurant.)
1:35 pm
stidmama
debb -- no worries about "going" insane for you
1:35 pm
stidmama
*rolls on floor giggling hysterically*
1:36 pm
Charm
may I have a phantom drink and something 'deep fried in chocolate'?
1:36 pm
stidmama
yes, thanks Jill -- it better be, after the nonsense I went through on Monday! :-)
1:36 pm
Douglas
What's the food like at the phantom restaurant? My waitress told me that if I had the Heath Crunch Silk pie, she would speak a blessing over it and cast out the cholesterol...
1:37 pm

Fireworks! Off to see my soccer team get slaughtered
1:37 pm

Coming right up, Charm! And it'll be served by a phantom rascal.
1:37 pm

Congratulations spellit!

1:37 pm
jillibus
YAY spellit!!!
1:37 pm
Vicuna
Yay for spellit!
1:38 pm
stidmama
YAY spellit! (maybe the good vibes will transfer?)
1:38 pm
TheFiz
yay spellit!
1:38 pm
hurshy
you know, there should be a way to get points for these phantoms. anyone can see words that ARE there...it takes real skill to see words that AREN'T there.
1:38 pm
hurshy
back to the housework
1:39 pm
TheFiz
lol hursh!
1:39 pm
Vicuna
As long as you aren't hearing too many voices that aren't there speaking words that aren't there...
1:39 pm
Atalante
I keep vaguely wanting chiaroscuro
1:39 pm
torgone
lucky housework ..
1:39 pm
stidmama
ooh Ata! that's because you are a REAL artist...
1:39 pm
Vicuna
You've got chiarascuro right there in your icon, Ata!
1:39 pm
Atalante
a nice normal word, just for hurshy!
1:39 pm
stidmama
I am NOT doing housework yet, but have managed to direct the boys successfully to bathe the dog this morning and get the laundry started...
1:40 pm
torgone
I hear phantom castrati singing ..
1:40 pm
TheFiz
yikes tor!
1:40 pm
Atalante
try a singuliar one, torgone!
1:40 pm
Vicuna
Well, one of them is real, anyway, torgone!
1:41 pm
Douglas
I'm halfway to halfway...Minnesota Attorney General candidate Jeff Johnson is holding a press conference to explain why current Attorney General Mike Hatch should be made to do the perp walk on the 6 o'clock news. Ok ok, I'm exaggerating a little bit...
1:42 pm
torgone
Guess I should try something before declaring it phantom, eh?
1:42 pm
Atalante
can he explain how to nicely scan watercolour paintings as well while he's at it? :P
1:42 pm
kalea
hello everyone.........and Douglas, what's going on with Mike Hatch
1:42 pm
Douglas
I'm going to liveblog the press conference.
1:43 pm
Jaime
so castrate is ALMOST in the puzzle.
1:43 pm
Charm
jaime - an old practice of castrating young singers IS in the grid.
1:44 pm
Douglas
Ok, it's not a violation of any law, but it is an ethics complaint to be filed with the Office of Lawyer’s Professional Responsibility against Mike Hatch
1:44 pm
kalea
that's too bad.....i always liked Hatch
1:45 pm
Jaime
what??? hmm, charm, do you know which two letters it begins with?
1:46 pm
Atalante
ok, I am officially stuck now
1:46 pm
Charm
Jaime - ca8/45 = a male singer.
1:46 pm
Douglas
And most people, including myself, have not paid as much attention to it as they should have, because they don't get the details. Hatch is running for governor, but TradeSports gives him a 10% chance of winning
1:46 pm
Charm
'rasta' is not a word?
1:46 pm
TheFiz
our AG in Rhode Island just got let off the hook for questionable campaign donations - ethics comission saw no "substantive impropriety". Cendidate for Sec. of State not so lucky....
1:46 pm
Douglas
Charm, your protest is irrelevant
1:47 pm
Charm
if I make a donation to the appropriate candidate, will my protest become relevant?
1:47 pm
xunilpenguin
rasta uses the same letter tile twice
1:47 pm
Atalante
resistence is, as always, futile
1:47 pm
Charm
no, it doesn't.
1:48 pm
Douglas
I'm talking about your protest about the absence of "rasta" from the dictionary...
1:48 pm
TheFiz
got 8 mil in PAC $$ lying around, charm? then maybe...
1:48 pm
Charm
I resist, I resist. I like futile gestures....
1:48 pm
Vicuna
No it doesn't, xunil, but the grid never takes it anyway. Maybe it's aproper noun, or maybe it just doesn't make sense. With enable, you never know.
1:48 pm
Charm
No PAC $$, 8 mil or otherwise. But I do have a mean cheesecake recipe that will bring you to your knees.
1:48 pm
pabtrek
Charm, resistance is futile
1:49 pm
TheFiz
lol charm! too bad the clinton years are over - you might have gotten somewhere.
1:49 pm
pabtrek
please don't hurt me locutus
1:49 pm
Charm
I. think. I. must. resist.
1:49 pm
torgone
Mmmmmm .. . . cheesecake . . .
1:50 pm
Atalante
repetition is futile too, pabtrek LOL
1:50 pm
jillibus
is that bo7 an extension of bo6?
1:50 pm
Charm
cream cheese. eggs. sugar. sour cream. pinch of salt. drop of vanilla. graham cracker crust.
1:50 pm
Vicuna
Plain old pl, jilli.
1:50 pm
Charm
bo7 is pl of the bo6.
1:51 pm
jillibus
thought I tried that but must have mistyped it - thanks!
1:52 pm
TheFiz
mmm. you've got my vote - or whatever - charm.
1:52 pm
xunilpenguin
doh! sorry about the rasta , finally saw it ..
1:52 pm
magzel
i need the ai 6/18 please
1:52 pm
Charm
and no $$ changed hands. ergo, no impropriety. ergo no ethics violations.
1:53 pm
Vicuna
ai6/18 is what Shakespeare does to the sheets (or, more likely, Anne Hathaway)
1:53 pm
TheFiz
no, um, "favors" required either. the other way to a politican's voting finger.
1:54 pm
Charm
oh, Fiz, my imagination is working overtime on that, um, 'favors'....
1:54 pm
Vicuna
Your penance, xunil, is that you spent all this time searching for a word that doesn't even count! :)
1:54 pm
TheFiz
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, charm - unless you're monica lewinsky.
1:55 pm
xunilpenguin
hehehe
1:55 pm
jillibus
not getting the sheet thing, Vicuna!
1:55 pm
Charm
ai6 = most stuff we breathe.
1:55 pm
jillibus
thanks charm
1:55 pm
Charm
Fiz, whatever happened to her?
1:55 pm
Vicuna
okay, jilli... oh, I see Charm just gave a fine clue!
1:55 pm
stidmama
RA 8 please? It's my last 8 that I need...
1:56 pm
Vicuna
ra8/40 - most like vermin
1:56 pm
Charm
ra8/40 = most rodent-ish.
1:57 pm
stidmama
oooh, thanks Charm and Vi!
1:57 pm
torgone
Her popularity went down ..
1:57 pm
TheFiz
she did the cover of cigar aficionado - no, unfortunately i'm not kidding - and then last i heard she was designing handbags.
1:57 pm
Vicuna
ac6/24 - having to do with vinegar
1:58 pm
Charm
I can't think of any woman of my acquaintance wanting anything from her....
1:58 pm
jillibus
thanks, Vicuna - what a tangle!
1:59 pm
TheFiz
i always thought she should have hooked up with heidi fleiss.
1:59 pm
Charm
yes, those two would have been something (notice I don't say what) together!
2:00 pm
TheFiz
lol charm!
2:00 pm
Atalante
well I feel kinda sorry for her (stirring the barrel a bit!)
2:00 pm
Vicuna
She, and Fawn and Koo, and Gennifer... and all those others could ALL get together.
2:01 pm
Charm
<shudder> <cringe>
2:01 pm
stidmama
if one of my kids logs on, I am going to have a lot of explaining to do! (shudders)
2:02 pm
TheFiz
ex-presidential-squeeze call girls? there's got to be a market for that. sorry stid
2:02 pm
Vicuna
stidmama, just say they were all political consultants. (sardonic laughter)
2:02 pm
Charm
why are there never male counterparts to monica, fawn, et al?
2:03 pm
Vicuna
Because there aren't any female presidents, of course!
2:03 pm
NANCY
Hi Imp, perhaps tomorrow.......
2:03 pm
stidmama
There are, but so few women in positions of power that we don't hear about them!
2:03 pm
TheFiz
ummm, b/c the ladies don't make it that high up the political ladder!
2:03 pm
torgone
Hello luv!
2:03 pm
Atalante
Maggie Thatcher didn't manage to collect any!
2:03 pm
torgone
Women are smarter ..
2:04 pm
TheFiz
smart enough not to get caught?
2:04 pm
Vicuna
Maggie Thatcher probably had several, who are all still locked in a bunker somehwere. After all, she wasn't stupid!
2:05 pm
Atalante
women realise priorities more, I think
2:05 pm
NANCY
It takes a smart man to realize that about women. Makes you all the more loveable!!!!
2:05 pm
stidmama
*gags on the saccharin flying around*
2:05 pm
Charm
I vote Tor - for anything.
2:06 pm
stidmama
*singing* there were birds, in the trees, but I never heard them singing....
2:06 pm
Vicuna
Honestly, I think men are more prone to compartmentalize and think perfectly well with their brains and then turn around and "think" very poorly with other parts...
2:06 pm
NANCY
Oh, Stid, please don't gag
2:06 pm
TheFiz
blah blah glass ceiling blah blah blah commitment to relationships blah blah emotional intelligence blah blah blah.
2:06 pm

oops. didn't realize a word was in that song... sorry all!
2:07 pm
torgone
Sometimes I'm just smart enough to say the right thing ..
2:07 pm
Jaime
yay, it's my birthday today!
2:07 pm
stidmama
happy birthday, Jaime!
2:07 pm
Scrabbler
Happy Birthday!
2:07 pm
Atalante
I can't imagine Maggie ever being distracted enough from her role as PM to have a toy boy on the side. Whereas men get - um - distracted easily
2:07 pm
Charm
But men, in my admittedly limited experience, also see the world as strictly black and white while women tend to see grays. So it surprises me that a savvy politician can compartmentalize.
2:07 pm
stidmama
Scrabbler! hi there :-)
2:07 pm
Charm
and happy birthday Jaime. My present to you is NOT singing....
2:07 pm
TheFiz

Vicuna
Boy, we don't start school until the 11th, here.

woops, no a word anyway
2:10 pm
Vicuna
(But I think it was pushed back this year to give them time to get more work done on a high school renovation project.)
2:11 pm
stidmama
It starts like what dogs like to chew on (first three letters) + single-letter article + first two letters of a word for an award
2:11 pm
stidmama
Oggy, I hope that helps. If not, holler and I will try again.
2:11 pm
Vicuna
Okay, now just change out that g...
2:11 pm

Scrabbler, not yet, but we haven't been to town to check the box for several days.
2:11 pm

Scrabbler
Yesterday was not so difficult as time-consuming.
2:12 pm
stidmama
I think it's easier, abe, but I also have a lot more time.
2:13 pm
Charm
abe, I think it's easier. and also not the feeling of panic because there are fewer words to find.
2:13 pm
stidmama
I didn't even really try yesterday, had too much on my plate to take a big grid seriously.
2:13 pm
abe79
thanks scrabbler, charm and stidmama. i'm trying to budget my time for the rest of the day... (home sick from work)
2:13 pm
stidmama

2:14 pm

2:16 pm

2:16 pm

2:16 pm
stidmatt
Mom, should I tell them what I am going to be doing soon?
2:17 pm
oggy
tell us matt
2:17 pm
stidmama
Go for it. Don't "drop names" though -- just tell them the actual "things" you'll be doing...
2:18 pm
stidmama
Scrabbler will be VERY interested, stidmatt, as it could impact her line of work someday!
2:18 pm
TheFiz
tell matt - and i'm interested in the names but don't want to go against your mama...
2:18 pm
stidmama
And I WILL look back in the log when I come back, so be polite and don't overdo...
2:18 pm
stidmatt
Okay, I am going to be doing an experiment on Bacteriophage soon at a college. The Bacteriophage is a virus that infects certain bacteria.
2:18 pm
Scrabbler
Tell me Matt.
2:18 pm
stidmama
Fiz -- you're in charge! :-)
2:19 pm
Scrabbler
Cool Matt---germs! Yuck.
2:19 pm
flosey
sounds very exciting Matt
2:19 pm
Atalante
oooo bacteriophages are interesting!
2:19 pm
Vicuna
And made famous by being present (at least "phage" was) in the grid once!
2:19 pm
TheFiz
cool matt - now i'm even more interested in the names. i'm a biogeek myself...
2:19 pm
stidmatt
They infect things like Staphococolocus, Salmonella E. Coli O157:H7 and E. Coli F,
2:19 pm
stidmatt
They are extremely useful.
2:19 pm
stidmama
I will let folks know that the scientist who first introduced our family to bacteriophage is Betty Kutter, a longtime family friend who teaches at the Evergreen State College.
2:19 pm
stidmatt
Cool Fiz!
2:19 pm

Jaime= an italian boy singer who sings very high

2:20 pm
Uneaixoise
thanks, abe!
2:20 pm
stidmama
outta here! see you later!
2:20 pm
TheFiz
so what kind of experiments will you be doing, matt?
2:20 pm
stidmatt
Yes, the ones they infect are really bad. They also leave the E. Coli in your gut and cells alone.
2:20 pm
stidmatt
See ya' Mom!
2:20 pm
abe79
yw uneaixoise (and i love your icon) bye stidmama

wow, great Matt, all those nasty ones that are so difficult to fight
2:22 pm
flosey
I'm out of here also, rushing!!
2:22 pm
stidmatt
Yes, with antibiotics at least. Since the Viruses are actually infecting them with their DNA, they are extremely more effective.
2:22 pm
stidmatt
See ya' Flosey!
2:23 pm
Atalante
if you get the chance, ask if you can look at the beasties down whatever the highest power microscope they have!
2:23 pm
xunilpenguin
is there a FAQ or wiki with some hints? how do you come up with ca8/45 ? for example?
2:23 pm
stidmatt
The phage infects the bacterium with it's DNA. The bacterium makes more phages, overloads, and explodes!
2:23 pm
stidmatt
I will, I will now put up a diagram of them infecting.
2:24 pm
TheFiz
*rubs hands together in anticipation*
2:24 pm
Vicuna
xunil, there's "help" up above, but probably even better is "Angelsong's Babble Page" among the Friends of Babble down below.
2:24 pm
Scrabbler
Interesting stuff, Matt. You know a lot already.
2:24 pm
abe79
xuni- we come up with our own clues. there are some pages with word lists (check links on bottom left of page) but the clues come from us, as we go along
2:25 pm
TheFiz
cool matt. please keep me posted!
2:26 pm

2:30 pm
Uneaixoise

2:30 pm
Wolvie
hi abe - just caught the c8 - always thought that term ended ati, but ....not here. ;-) of course, I thought it was a nine
2:31 pm
Atalante
how old are you, stidmatt? (don't say if your mother would disapprove!) just wondering what level science you're doing!
2:31 pm
Wolvie
hee - fiz, looks fun - and hello stidmatt. :-)
2:31 pm
Uneaixoise
wolvie, it's plural with "ati"
2:31 pm
abe79
Wolvie, apparently the c8 is the singular version
2:31 pm
stidmatt
I am not supposed to say, but I will tell you I am a nerd (my definition) in my early teens.
2:32 pm
Uneaixoise
Anne Rice wrote a very good book about ca----- called Cry to Heaven
2:32 pm
Wolvie
interesting, the grid didn't want to take that when I tried it awhile back, I will try again
2:32 pm
Atalante
ah cool - I can imagine that level of fun with science!
2:32 pm
Uneaixoise
a total departure from Vampyria
2:32 pm
TheFiz
*passes stidmatt the pocket protector* Here, my young friend, I don't use this so much anymore and think you can get some mileage from it....and mama would be proud of your restraint.
2:32 pm
Wolvie
i haven't read that rice book, une - I'll look for it
2:32 pm
Uneaixoise
no, I'm saying that the word in the grid is singular but the plural DOES end in ati
2:33 pm
stidmatt
Yes, as you might have figured out, it is my favorite subject!
2:33 pm
Wolvie
ahhhh - light dawns. :-)
2:33 pm
Atalante
I think I used to be like you - when I was that age I had posters of viruses and the blood circulatory system on my walls instead of pop stars ...
2:33 pm
TheFiz
yw matt! wear it in good health....
2:34 pm
Wolvie
ata - so now it's pop stars? ;-0
2:34 pm
Scrabbler
I love biology.
2:34 pm
Uneaixoise
Stidmatt, I recently found a newspaper clipping from a million years ago when i attended a science/math summer program in a small town in Tennessee--the news article headline: Girl Scientist :-D
2:34 pm
Uneaixoise
fortunately things have CHANGED!
2:34 pm
TheFiz
lol une! (but not as much as we would have liked)
2:35 pm
Atalante
does Anakin count as a pop star? LOL I do have a few big posters of dead fish up ...
2:36 pm
Uneaixoise
Fiz, my daughter's boyfriend who's an environmental engineer got a chuckle out of it!
2:36 pm
stidmatt
I do too Scrabbler it is my favorite subject.
2:36 pm
Wolvie
oh ROFL - good good
2:36 pm
stidmatt
Well, Anakin was a hero when he was alive.
2:36 pm

2:39 pm
stidmatt
Cool! That is a fascinating subject, like all biology!
2:39 pm
Uneaixoise
in Babble grids, it's insane, Wolvie!
2:39 pm
TheFiz
i always thought i'd be a marine biologist growing up - just sort of fell into HIV prevention through some personal connections - and losses.
2:39 pm
Atalante
its great fun :) I did my degree in marine biology, then did my PhD in the evolution of fish on coral reefs through geologic time
2:39 pm
Wolvie
ata! whilst at UofM (AA) I was going to do that - but did chemical engineering instead - wanted enviro, but - no official degree at that time. Le sigh
2:40 pm
Wolvie
une - babble boggles. ;-)
2:40 pm
Scrabbler
Cool, Ata. I love reading about evolution.
2:41 pm
stidmatt
Cool! I would like to get a PHD in bacteriophages someday.
2:41 pm
Wolvie
very impressive, ata - and neat.
2:41 pm
TheFiz
cool ata. i've got a friend working on phd research in the sargasso sea right now - something with sea turtle migration patterns or something.
2:41 pm

chem engineering must be have fascinating though!
2:41 pm

2:42 pm
Wolvie

2:42 pm
Atalante

2:42 pm
Wolvie
no no - we both missed typing 101
2:42 pm
stidmatt
I know a friend who got her PHD on the women in Aberdeen, Scotland, in a short period in the Middle Ages!
2:42 pm
Atalante
sea turtle migration patterns? what a cool cool subject!
2:43 pm
TheFiz
yes she's enjoying it. hard work but she's a surfer, too, so she gets to visit awesome beaches all over the world and surf them.
2:43 pm
Atalante
PhDs can be on *the* most bizarre subjects
2:44 pm

5th grade boys teased him when he asked for some candy. They offered him, teased him, took it away. When one asked Stefan to tell him what his name was and Stefan didn't know the boy's name, they began to twist his arm. When he fought back, they held him down, took his shoe off and threw it towards the front where other boys tossed it around and hid it from him.
3:59 pm
TheFiz
just remember that bullies are suffering from low self esteem, and they tend to back down if you (or your son) stand up to them.
3:59 pm
lianakate
hi, charm :)
3:59 pm

Stefan basically didn't say anything until my mom noticed the side of his face was all red
4:01 pm
lianakate
duh..i was looking at the top O..(smacks self)
4:01 pm

oooh. 5th grade pride is a precious thing....
4:01 pm
klaurel

4:01 pm
Charm
sorry about the bullies, klaurel. I don't remember bullies being such a problem when I was a kid on the bus in the 70s and 80s.
4:01 pm
klaurel
Stefan is a 4th grader, unfortunately
4:01 pm

4:02 pm
ladynoire1013
dusty nuns and talking lint .... I thnk I'm over caffeinated
4:02 pm
Wolvie
more picnic pesty, lady
4:03 pm
klaurel
which scares him and puts him in danger when the school slaps their wrist and sends them right back onto the bus
4:03 pm
lianakate
lady..the one I got for the an7..is picnic pests being pestier..or one who is more anxious than the others..
4:03 pm
TheFiz
most of you don't know this about me but i have an imaginary crossbow on my back at all times - when people talk on their nextel during a movie, pump the bass on their car stereos in the middle of the night, etc, i whip it out and fire away. very satisfying and no one actually gets hurt. i'd be happy to loan it to him...
4:03 pm
Charm
an7 - to be more restless
4:03 pm
klaurel
So, I called my lawyer's office to know how to best protect ourselves, since Stefan WILL break and he WILL hurt someone since he is a blue belt
4:03 pm
helenkeller
hey everyone! only 100 to go :)
4:03 pm
ladynoire1013
That cannot be a real word!

6:30 pm
Miss ABS
74 I think she said. She did a little tap and some excellent jitterbugging while she was singing, she sang songs from her old musicals and showed clips and talked about what it was like to act during those times and with those actors. T'was great!
6:31 pm
FranMag
i 'heard' that she typed the same word you did knitter.
6:31 pm
Miss ABS
Yeah Molly Brown is my favourite too. You know she was nominated for an oscar for that one.

Scrabbler
Hi Tom, were you out of town?
