12:41 am

jillibus

what are you talking about? What's bb?

12:41 am

helenkeller

12:43 am

SueMagee

Jilli, I love you!

12:43 am

12:44 am

chic

I think this is Will's one big mistake was not taking out Janelle when he had the chance....

12:44 am

Erda

oops

12:45 am

helenkeller

yes chic - that's why now ct is thinking of taking erica to the end instead of janey, cause no one will vote for erika - cause she's just white on rice on whoever is hoh

12:45 am

helenkeller

whitewitch - i know!!! how gullible - it's his charisma

12:45 am

jillibus

Love little tree frogs - go aquasox!

12:46 am

whitewitch1111

i am glad to hear that your country is behind janey

12:46 am

12:46 am

whitewitch1111

he has no charisma in my eyes

chic

Ren did you play some slots at least?

12:49 am

saintfranny

the ONLY redeeming thing about james so far is that he didn't vote howie out. as in, literally. he had a hand in it, but i appreciated that small gesture of honour

12:50 am

hurshy

night all

12:50 am

helenkeller

that was no honor, franny, that was gameplay to make them think he was still a bb6er

12:50 am

renfield

chj

erda if you got that clue, your an oldtime crossword puzzler...you rarely see the celebes ox in todays puzzles..its an endangered species

12:53 am

saintfranny

as for our babbler, Marcellas - i'm Sure hoping he sees the error of his ways re: janie. he was Dead wrong about her and owes her an apology

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)

12:54 am

Erda

yes, chj, I am an old-time crossword puzzler! LOL

12:55 am

saintfranny

CG does seem earnest and sincere, but he totally stabbed both kaysar and howie. did NOT like that.

12:55 am

helenkeller

that's what i'm talking about franny - how low can you go - doesn't he think his mom is watching him -, uh, along with a national audience

12:55 am

chj

12:55 am

chj

Actually, we were allowed duty free in the end, and sealed bottles. I don't think they really knew what the rules were, to be honest.

10:03 am

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

10:04 am

ladynoire1013

Woohoo!

72 Temple Owl

10:06 am

10:07 am

Becca Lorum

FMitch

unmatched each gid is different, it can be as small as 44 word or a big one like todays

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

thanks for the clarification, Mitch - you had me quite confused

10:12 am

Aloyisius

10:13 am

FMitch

sorry amanda, my keybaord seems to do it's own thing from time to time

10:13 am

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

10:22 am

Becca Lorum

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

and good morning all -- was staying silent until I had some progress on my own. But admit to appreciating the clues for the 8s and 9s ;-)

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

howdy, stid..

10:53 am

amandacath

10:58 am

amandacath

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???

11:01 am

stidmama

It doesn't, unless this is a person studying how to get some!

11:01 am

stidmama

*giggling uncontrollably*

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL X D

11:01 am

amandacath

ok, we are definitely talking about different ta6's!

11:02 am

stidmama

yes amanda, very different, but the confusion is really funny!

11:02 am

stidmama

well, I have stalled out at 80 words, even with help. I will hit the list when I return. Later all :-)

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

56 left - time for a list - and for lunch! bye stid! ty for the clue!

11:03 am

Aloyisius

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!

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling all - bbl!

Wolvie -- how is the day going for you?

12:24 pm

amandacath

I quit, stidmama - I'm not much good under time pressure

12:24 pm

Wolvie

better - now that I bought a new mouse - the old one was dead this morning. :-) How about you?

12:24 pm

FMitch

stidmama I think hurshy has gone to do chores

12:24 pm

Wolvie

hi amanda - or bye. :-)

12:25 pm

stidmama

oh well -- I'll do webboggle later... not much fun alone.

12:26 pm

stidmama

good for you, Wolvie! dead mice are NOT one of my favorite things! :-)

12:26 pm

Wolvie

well, dead ones are better than the live furry variety - but my kitties take care of any of those. Thankfully, rarely called upon.

12:29 pm

stidmama

:-) okay, off to see who the kids' teachers will be this next year. Later All!

12:29 pm

Wolvie

hola

12:34 pm

Atalante

hey judi and torgone!

12:35 pm

Judi

Hmm. Getting a bit sticky now. Down to 110 words left to find. Think it might be time to cheat.

12:37 pm

Atalante

82 to go and thinking the same!

12:38 pm

torgone

If you're not cheating, you're not trying ..

12:38 pm

MissyNelson

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.

12:40 pm

torgone

:(

12:41 pm

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...

12:43 pm

torgone

????

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!

12:46 pm

Wolvie

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

Lara226

first

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! :)

12:55 pm

Wolvie

not me!

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

yah

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

Vicuna

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

1:07 pm

Vicuna

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

TheFiz

hi charm!

1:26 pm

Vicuna

Ouch, Fiz, I hope it feels better soon!

1:27 pm

Charm

Hi, TheFiz

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...

1:31 pm

TheFiz

1:31 pm

TheFiz

oops.

1:31 pm

jillibus

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

Charm

Hi, abe.

1:32 pm

jillibus

merci, une!

1:32 pm

abe79

Hi Charm

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

Charm

yw

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

debbinla

:-)

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

spellit

Fireworks! Off to see my soccer team get slaughtered

1:37 pm

hurshy

or, you know, ogre, headstand, eight, standard, hiatus, oregano...

1:37 pm

Vicuna

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

1:37 pm

jillibus

lol, douglas!

1:37 pm

Vicuna

...organ...

1:37 pm

Douglas

Congratulations spellit!

1:37 pm

abe79

yay Spellit!

a cute phantom rascal please.

1:37 pm

jillibus

YAY spellit!!!

Yay for spellit!

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

torgone

=O

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 Lawyerâ€™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

kalea

lol

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

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

jillibus

ac6/24?

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

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

stidmama

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

Jaime

thanks!

2:07 pm

Charm

and happy birthday Jaime. My present to you is NOT singing....

2:07 pm

TheFiz

yay jAIME! HAPPY DAY!

2:07 pm

Uneaixoise

stidmatt

Hi Scrabbler!

2:08 pm

TheFiz

oops didn't mean to yell - still working on this hunt and peck thing.

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

I am an official Babbler now--I paid up.

2:08 pm

Jaime

it HAS been happy, which I never expected of 28. my husband took me out for lunch and there is some surprise party planned, although I have no idea when.

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Matt!

2:08 pm

abe79

Happy Birthday Jaime

2:08 pm

Vicuna

Happy Birthday, Jaime!
Torgone, what beautiful eyes you have... I mean bubble gum dispenser...

2:10 pm

magzel

2:10 pm

Vicuna

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

2:10 pm

magzel

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

oggy

bonagi

2:11 pm

Vicuna

Okay, now just change out that g...

2:11 pm

stidmama

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

2:11 pm

TheFiz

close - change that g...

2:11 pm

stidmama

SO close, oggy! next to last letter needs to change

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

I think it will go to T & S

2:12 pm

abe79

opinion: how does the difficulty of this board compare to yesterday?

2:12 pm

stidmama

stidmatt will have many of the same teachers as last year, a different one for US History and the other math teacher -- he'll be in algebra! :-)

2:12 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

okay, we'll have to call and see if it got there. They were in Nashville this weekend for the family reunion. We want to hear how it went anyway

2:14 pm

stidmama

sorry you're unwell abe, anything we can do?

2:14 pm

Charm

feel better, abe....

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

2:15 pm

abe79

2:15 pm

abe79

actually sick, the Fiz. i went into the office earlier to prove it!

2:15 pm

stidmama

I have kids -- when they got home from camp, I got whatever they brought back. There I was, a week at the end of July, sick in bed. *grumble grumble(

2:16 pm

abe79

i think i got this from our uber -air conditioner at work

2:16 pm

stidmama

oh! I just looked at the clock. need to take stidgr*** to his friend's house. Stidmatt -- are you going to babble a bit longer?

2:16 pm

TheFiz

:( abe. ~~~{healthy vibes}~~~~

2:16 pm

abe79

thanks :)

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! :-)

2:18 pm

TheFiz

*gulp*

2:18 pm

Jaime

ca 8/45?

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Cool Matt---germs! Yuck.

2:19 pm

abe79

wow!

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

abe79

Jaime= an italian boy singer who sings very high

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Bad bugs!

2:19 pm

Vicuna

ca8/45 - a male singer with a very high voice due to an operation pre puberty

2:20 pm

stidmama

Interested folks can then google her name and get more info.

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

Scrabbler

Bye

2:20 pm

stidmatt

See ya' Mom!

2:20 pm

abe79

yw uneaixoise (and i love your icon) bye stidmama

2:20 pm

TheFiz

bye stidmama. *takes the reins*

2:21 pm

flosey

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

xunilpenguin

thanks!

2:26 pm

TheFiz

*just struck with a moment of fear that "artic" might be accepted as a word*

2:28 pm

stidmatt

Meet our friend, T4, infecting our food pathogen, Eschercia Coli O157:H7.

2:28 pm

stidmatt

Yes, I have been studying for about a year now.

2:28 pm

Uneaixoise

fiz, LOL!!

2:29 pm

Scrabbler

Houston, we have landed and are entering.

2:29 pm

TheFiz

*shakes hands with T4* Not sure if you remember but we met some years ago in a basement laboratory. how have you been?

2:29 pm

Wolvie

back again - things look to be working smoothly?

2:30 pm

abe79

Hi Wolvie

2:30 pm

TheFiz

babble yes - our minds, no, wolvie!

2:30 pm

stidmatt

Yup, I have been explaining the Phages to our friends.

2:30 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, wolvie!

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

Wolvie

hi une!

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

Charm

Hi, Wolvie

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

Wolvie

hi charm!

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

stidmatt

tx fiz!

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

stidmatt

Yeah.

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

madisonsmom

can I get some clues for the 8 and 9 letter words, please?

2:36 pm

Scrabbler

Read, read, read.

2:36 pm

Charm

sorry to interrupt, but DR7 please?

2:36 pm

Atalante

my great-aunt, who I'm incredibly proud of - was the first woman to get a science degree in Australia - in biology! she set me off onto my path through life I think!

2:37 pm

Charm

ah, never mind.....

2:37 pm

stidmatt

Yes Scrabbler. That is very good.

2:37 pm

Wolvie

very cool, ata!

2:37 pm

Are you a scientist Atlante?

2:37 pm

Uneaixoise

Ata, that is soooo cool!

2:38 pm

TheFiz

awesome ata!

2:38 pm

Atalante

marine biologist

2:38 pm

Wolvie

just a general observation - some things that you can plural never cease to amaze me...

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

Scrabbler

arts

2:41 pm

Atalante

chem engineering must be have fascinating though!

2:41 pm

Scrabbler

oops. again

2:41 pm

Wolvie

wow fiz - nice work area!

2:42 pm

Wolvie

it has its moments, ata. ;-)

2:42 pm

TheFiz

and, apparently atalante skipped out on grammar class on her way to biology....

2:42 pm

Atalante

lol yes I think I did!

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

TheFiz

must break from chat - wrist hurting - but matt my eyes are on you and i'll be making a full report to your mother so be good. *gentle but irritating pinch on cheek*

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

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

6:29 pm

Jacula

Sorry aknitter. *Jac sits on her hands.*

6:29 pm

6:30 pm

MaMaWA

Reynolds has always been a fav of min since i watched " the Unsinkable Molly Brown"

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.

6:32 pm

FranMag

6:32 pm

MaMaWA

I didnt know that just know I loved it

6:32 pm

aknitter

miss abs -- i'm still trying to picture debby still alive and kicking

6:34 pm

FranMag

Miss ABS
