2:40 am

sprite

Only when I can't finish without, at the end, jilli.

2:40 am

Thanks lynxxx. That finished my H's

2:41 am

sprite

and error.

2:42 am

sprite

Ata, just checking: did my email reach you?

2:45 am

Atalante

from a day or two ago? yup! sorry, I haven't had time to reply yet - everything you said sounds fine with me! I'm trying to finish a present for my best friend - its her birthday in 3 days LOL and she wants a pic of a horribly complicated tortoiseshell cat - and I totally underestimated the time it would take!!!

2:46 am

sprite

LOL! Don't we always... there never seems to be enough time. And please don't say sorry, I just wanted to know if it reached you. No hurry in replying or anything :)

2:47 am

Atalante

I'm a bit scared with this pic - its of her favourite cate ever, that we have to put down a few months ago. So it has to be more than perfect ...

2:48 am

sprite

Oh dear, that is quite an assignation. A very tender wound...

2:49 am

Atalante

yes! it'll be fine, but its taking a lot of time!

2:50 am

sprite

Lol, it's both a work of art and a work of love... no wonder!

2:52 am

Atalante

the hard part should be finished very soon *phew*. I decided to do it in 2 bits - a pic and a border to the pic - and stick them together at the end, so I can only ever mess up 1/2 of the pic!

2:53 am

sprite

Smart :)
PSP, by any chance?

2:55 am

Atalante

actually no :) real pencils! she wanted something to put on her wall, and prints from PSP never look so impressive ...!

2:55 am

ExWren

243 words is far too many, and I have checked lickety's list, and there are far too many re's as well

2:55 am

sprite

ExWren, did you see yourself in the grid?

2:56 am

ExWren

Oh yes, I can now, I hadn't even looked at the grid.

2:57 am

sprite

True, Ata! Good luck with the cat, I know it will be just perfect.

2:58 am

ExWren

I have plenty of other things to do today, we are going on holiday on Monday

2:58 am

sprite

Great ExWren, where are you going?

2:59 am

ExWren

Egypt, we are going on a Nile Cruise.

2:59 am

Atalante

oh you lucjy lucky thing!

2:59 am

sprite

Wow! Have a great time!

3:00 am

ExWren

something I had always fancied, I hope it doesn't let me down

3:01 am

Atalante

just make sure you take a supply of Imodium! LOL that sounds awful, but its hard to get decent substitutes in most places in egypt

3:01 am

sprite

Just go in with an open mind and you'll never be disappointed! I am sure you will love it. You'll have to tell us all about it on your return, of course :)

3:02 am

mkl

Crud. I can't get the to9,60. I KNOW the first part is an amphibian on the list. Can't come up with the other 5 letters. Any clues?

3:02 am

ExWren

I think that is top of our list Ata!

3:02 am

mkl

Oops. Just got it

3:03 am

Atalante

good! then you'll have a wonderful time! and you'll need more camera film / memory sticks than you could possibly imagine. its the most incredible place

3:04 am

sprite

Thanks for the half clue, mkl :)

3:04 am

mkl

Last part is a rock

3:04 am

Atalante

we need an L!

3:04 am

sprite

What a wonderful word!

3:05 am

Atalante

wow yes!

3:05 am

mkl

Yeah? Try using it in a coherant sentence

3:05 am

ExWren

d***, I've got the to9, but I'm not playing!

3:05 am

mkl

Did I spell coherant right?

3:06 am

Atalante

coherent

3:07 am

mkl

Any clues for the to7,32?

3:07 am

sprite

As my greataunty Mies said: "Only way to get rid of th5 warts is if you rub them daily with a To9."

3:07 am

mkl

:-) Just happen to have a whole field of them out back

3:08 am

sprite

Must be why you have no warts ;)

3:10 am

mkl

I have 32 left but must doze off for the night. It's midnight and I'm old. Nite all

3:10 am

sprite

Night mkl!

3:12 am

PappouTed

hi, all, rain woke me up. How does the grid look> 243 easy, medium or it's a good thing you woke up so early?

3:12 am

sprite

Arwen is in the grid too, Ata

3:13 am

sprite

Pappou: more than halfway without having to search. Some very nice words. It will take time, but not too much and it is rewarding :)

3:14 am

PappouTed

thanks, sprite, I've found 30 words in 10 minutes so that's not too bad

3:14 am

sprite

Exactly :)

3:18 am

Atalante

oooh yes! yay for Arwen!

3:19 am

sprite

mkl, if you're still on: To7/32 is something you wear on your foot. Compound.

3:19 am

PappouTed

thanks, I'll look for it

3:20 am

PappouTed

got it, thanks

3:21 am

sprite

Lol, there is Es7/28, a hormone that is the end of the thick Italian vegetable soup :)

3:21 am

PappouTed

too funny, I was playing Literati with one of my friends last night and I was making babble words. She kept asking me Well, what does that mean? I kept saying, how do I know, but it's a word, LOL

3:22 am

sprite

LOL Pappou!

3:22 am

Atalante

and make that into an 8 as well, sprite ...

3:22 am

sprite

Wish I could, Ata!

3:23 am

sprite

Oh, I can!

3:23 am

PappouTed

hmm, found the 7, but the 8? still looking

3:23 am

sprite

Thanks! :)

3:23 am

Atalante

:)

3:23 am

sprite

Think female hormone, Pappou.

3:24 am

PappouTed

does it begin like the 7 or am I adding something to the ending

3:24 am

sprite

You need something in front.

3:24 am

Atalante

english spelling

3:26 am

PappouTed

nope, can't find it yet, it'll probably pop up while I'm searching for other words or when I hit the lists later

3:27 am

sprite

Can't give any better hints without giving it totally away :(

3:27 am

sprite

Perhaps you will say the letter you need when you find the word ;)

3:27 am

PappouTed

that's ok, I'm half asleep here so don't worry

3:27 am

M3

ohh biggie to day. morning alll x

3:27 am

Atalante

3:29 am

Atalante

ooooooo ornith! way to go!

3:29 am

sprite

I am down to 46 and still going reasonably strong. It is a gentle grid, for its size.

3:29 am

PappouTed

hi haz and it's a fast start too

3:29 am

Ornith

it's a nice one, haz, not like the tiny nasty ones we've had lately

3:29 am

3:31 am

Ornith

3:32 am

sprite

3:32 am

Ornith

3:34 am

Atalante

Ornith

Er. Your.

3:36 am

sprite

True!

3:36 am

sprite

Admit it. You wanted to say 'you're nuts'. This was freudian!

3:36 am

Ornith

heh, it's either that or else because it's 4:30 am and I'm sick

3:37 am

Ornith

seriously, though, got a better clue for that one?

3:37 am

sprite

Sick? Am sorry to hear that. What is ailing you?

3:37 am

PappouTed

3:37 am

Ornith

Just a stupid cold.

3:37 am

Ornith

thanks Pappou

3:38 am

PappouTed

my brother in law has the flu. He was fine Sunday when they were all here for lunch and then it hit

3:38 am

sprite

Hope you feel better soon. And there is no better clue, my clue was great! ;)
But you can take one of your E4/4, make it into an N5 and mix up the consonants a little.

3:38 am

lynxxx

Ornith - n + e4.4 - anagram of that

3:39 am

sprite

gmta, lynxxx :)

3:39 am

lynxxx

3:44 am

lynxxx

3:44 am

PappouTed

I keep wanting to add weno, but it won't take it, I guess it looks too much like wino

3:44 am

Ornith

3:44 am

sprite

Don't weno, Pappou, don't weno.

3:44 am

PappouTed

3:45 am

Ornith

3:46 am

lynxxx

3:46 am

sprite

True. I don't know about first or 2nd, but there is a tired person lying down, and there is a verb that uses a chair.

3:47 am

sprite

Ow Pappou, brilliantly done!

3:47 am

PappouTed

LOL, ty

3:47 am

Ornith

aha, it was the chair one.

Ornith

te5/10 and 6/18... first two te words?

3:48 am

sprite

Ow Ata, you're still here! Did you see the ywyod word? Was the upper line of a recent grid. One of the babblers said it should be the Smaller Shrub of Life, as opposed to Yggdrasil :D

3:48 am

Ornith

hi fran

3:49 am

sprite

Oooooooohhhhh... Yes Ata, lovely! Just lovely!

Hi Fran!

3:49 am

3:52 am

Ornith: singing voice(s)

3:53 am

Ornith

durr. fish.

3:53 am

Lol, I thought you would need it ;)

3:53 am

I am getting nowhere with my own missing words this way, LOL.

3:54 am

lynxxx

Sprite is hot tonite Fran

3:54 am

Ornith

never heard that word before fran, thanks. kept seeing the amphibian mushroom instead

3:54 am

Ornith

to7/32?

3:55 am

FranMag

don't have that yet ornith

3:55 am

sprite

You wear it on your foot, Ornith.

3:55 am

PappouTed

rock?

3:56 am

FranMag

rock, boulder, skipping *****

3:56 am

PappouTed

found it

3:56 am

sprite

Daddy was a rolling.....

3:56 am

Ornith

ah... another one of enable's screwy compound words.

3:57 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! ballerina's footwear.

3:57 am

sprite

Nah, it is a real word, Ornith. Believed to be formed within the amphibian.

3:57 am

PappouTed

ae6?

3:58 am

Ornith

alright! just need we 6/33 and the 7 I'm sure is a plural

3:58 am

Ornith

and no, I meant about the footwear one; I didn't think that was all one word

3:58 am

sprite

ae6 see e5/12

3:58 am

Haz1558

ae6 - similar to the anaesthetic

3:58 am

lynxxx

we**** region/s

3:58 am

PappouTed

3:59 am

Ornith

ty lynxxx! fireworks!

3:59 am

sprite

Nice, Ornith!

3:59 am

PappouTed

yay, ornith

3:59 am

Ornith

I'm'a go take my cold medicine, and then come back and give clues until it kicks in. brb.

3:59 am

lynxxx

WooHoo Ornith!

4:00 am

PappouTed

ok, going into stealth mode till I find some more words, see you all in 15 min.

4:01 am

sprite

Yeah, all the cluing doesn't help to find my own words, lol, but hey, it is fun.

4:03 am

lynxxx

broke the ton so I'm off to get coffee etc

4:03 am

sprite

Good job, lynxxx

4:05 am

Ornith

ok, back, who needs clues?

4:06 am

sprite

I think I'd have to use lickety to see what to ask clues for, lol. I need 1 N, 2xR and 6xS. Hard to ask clues for!

4:06 am

CJ25

ae clues? the last two ?

4:07 am

sprite

Where radio signals travel through, CJ.

4:07 am

Ornith

CJ, the ae6 and 7 = et 5/12 and 6/21

4:07 am

Ornith

you got that far without the list, sprite? I'm impressed! I generally have to go to the list somewhere around halfway.

4:08 am

CJ25

thanks sprite and ornith

4:09 am

sprite

This grid is gentle in that respect. Usually I have to resort to Lickety for the last 10 or 20 or so.

4:09 am

Ornith

heh, I usually have to resort to clues for the last 10 or 20 :P

4:10 am

sprite

Lol, I use clues throughout the grid. Even if I have just started, I cannot let a good clue pass, so I use them all :)

4:10 am

Ornith

I use em if I spot em, but I've got the list over the chat a lot.

4:11 am

sprite

If I start late and I get stuck, I usually open the entire chat log and check for earlier clues. Can't let smart clues go wasted, lol.

4:15 am

sprite

okay, the last one: Sh5/14. And a fish, probably.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Past tense/adjective form of footwear

4:16 am

Haz1558

Or s plus a gathering of animals as in cattle

4:16 am

sprite

Hm, got that one. It is the first I need.

4:16 am

Ornith

there's also one that's a broken piece of a clay pot

4:16 am

Ornith

haz's second clue, that one

4:16 am

sprite

Ah, that's it, thanks :)

4:16 am

sprite

Pyrokinetics!

4:16 am

Ornith

yay sprite!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Congratulations!

4:17 am

sprite

I thought the clay one was spelled with -a-. Learn something new every babble day :)
Hi Haz!

4:17 am

Ornith

sprite, both spellings exist

4:17 am

Haz1558

Hi sprite - a nicer grid today.

4:17 am

sprite

See, I did not know that. Thanks :)

4:18 am

sprite

Definitely, Haz. I loved this one.

4:18 am

sprite

hehehe, and with a -b at the end it is one of our fellow babblers!

4:18 am

Ornith

yeah, this grid was fun. the last couple I just gave up halfway because I needed 30 clues on a 60-word grid :P

4:19 am

sprite

We had some tough ones lately. I don't mind hard ones, but I don't like the ones with more unwords than words.

4:20 am

Ornith

yeah, when it gets to the point where "it has a vowel in it" is a useful clue, it's annoying

4:20 am

marso

morning all ;)how many today?

4:20 am

Haz1558

I like grids where you can get sequences going - the smaller grids just have individual, sometimes very strange words and it's not as exciting, or as quick.

4:20 am

Ornith

243 marso, and it's a nice one

4:20 am

FranMag

243 marso

4:21 am

Haz1558

5:22 am

Angb

5:23 am

marso

5:24 am

Angb

Uneaixoise

FranMag

scrabbler, those are the best kinds of clues sometimes

6:00 am

Haz1558

And there can be bits added to the front of the word and the back of the word to get the re8/40 - one who makes things like new again.

6:00 am

Eva

how about the re9?

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I like very direct clues too--no confusion.

6:01 am

Eva

never mind

6:01 am

Haz1558

re9/60 - those cooks who use ping-ping cookery.

6:02 am

FranMag

i'm going to get to bed then, you're in great hands with haz around! good night all!

6:02 am

Haz1558

6:03 am

Jacula

Scrabbler

Haz1558

Fellow babblers oh4/6 with dismay as Scrabbler continued to give words away. And not even hard words......

6:13 am

Haz1558

The last re7 refers to what the author did when he was dissatisfied with his work.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I'll get to the hard words tonight, after work. I am a charitable person. :-)

Thanks guys,he has passed on but in my heart he is always with me. His name was Ming and I had him for 16 beautiful years!!!

6:31 am

6:32 am

Eva

Ming was gorgeous! What an alert looking kitty.

6:32 am

mrpresident

Greys is good!! love the legal shows though

6:33 am

Eva

Every once in a while I like House too. Mainly his character. The plots and ultra goryness leave me cold

6:33 am

Eva

I wish they'dbring back Northern Exposure in reruns

6:34 am

Haz1558

It's quite interesting to see Hugh Laurie in House - we're so used to him playing English comedy roles.

House is my life, I fear

Well, speaking of kitty's-time to feed mine. And then meditation and then a walk. Be back later.

9:00 am

spangles

9:00 am

Anniebrook

annk, went to look there are 8 AR words

9:01 am

Ankhorite

Spangles, thnks, and three AE* words? It kept my words from yesterday, had to close, reset cookies, close again, restart...

9:01 am

bunnyvicious

Ank, that's right

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

hi and bye jacs! hi all!

9:01 am

Ankhorite

Bunnie, Annie, thanks!

Ankhorite

Yeah, I'd rather wait to use it until I am desperate... but I may get desperate early today!

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

we are infested by rodents! LOL!

9:05 am

bunnyvicious

Cute ones at that! Where is your usual flock of fowl?

9:05 am

Ankhorite

Bunny is not a rodent!

9:06 am

Ankhorite

She's a lagomorph!

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

well then: we are infested by little furry cratures with twitchy noses!

9:06 am

bunnyvicious

What'd you call me?

9:07 am

Ankhorite

*twitches nose happily at the compliment*

9:07 am

Ankhorite

Lagomorph, BunnyLicious! Go look it up; it's a good trick question for science tests. Rabbits are not rodents.

9:08 am

bunnyvicious

Yeah...I'm to lazy to look things up, hence the same icon daily. I'll assume it's a fancy name for bunny with way to many syllables.

9:08 am

bunnyvicious

Sounds like a Power Ranger though.

9:09 am

Ankhorite

"any member of the order Lagomorpha, comprising the hares, rabbits, and pikas, resembling the rodents but having two pairs of upper incisors."

9:10 am

Ankhorite

"Any of various plant-eating mammals having fully furred feet and two pairs of upper incisors and belonging to the order Lagomorpha, which includes the rabbits, hares, and pikas."

9:10 am

Ankhorite

*peers at Bunny's feet, while displaying her own bare-fingered paws*

9:10 am

bunnyvicious

Ahh, so it isn't a Power Ranger...

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

btw creatures not cratures

9:11 am

bunnyvicious

I know, I seriously need to re-paint my toenails.

9:11 am

Ankhorite

LOL! Not fully furred, eh?

9:12 am

bunnyvicious

OK! I need to shave too!

9:40 am

phandmd

I tried the reverse dictionary, didn't help

9:41 am

bunnyvicious

ma 6/21 - rusty red color, ma 6/21 - one who injures, ma 6/21 - like the red color, double cons instead of vowel, ma 6/21 - like planet Ma*s + 10, ma 6/21 - like what you lay on at night with one cons at end

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

9:09 pm

stidmama

Each day, Gilly and Anna and the others made the trek in the morning to help at Helena's with the cooking or in the fields. Inga traded duties with Meg, Doris and Polly, entertaining the youngest children while watching the road for any sign of Sebastian.

In the evenings, after dinner was served, Andy would sit with Nan and read, and Paul and Peter would discuss the day's events with Adam.

9:12 pm

stidmama

The women would sit in the front room with handwork, talking over the next day's menu and relaxing. Nancy and her husband had decided to stay with Helena until the harvest was over, so the house was full of activity and love and warmth.

9:13 pm

stidmama

Each evening, Nancy's husband would bring everyone up to date on the search for Sebastian. They had begun to look further than the village boundaries.

9:13 pm

Esmeralda was just there, calmly overseeing the healing process and lending a hand as needed. Every day, Nan was a little less uncomfortable when they moved her. Every day Adam was a little more ornery and a little more able to be useful in the kitchen. But he still spent a lot of time with Nan, telling stories and playing games.

9:20 pm

stidmama

go bubba go!

9:22 pm

stidmama

Everyone was looking forward to the end of the harvest. Peter and Paul and Daniel would move on to help some of the other farmers, John and his family would return home. Life would return to a more leisurely pace.

9:22 pm

bubba218

Thanks for the encouragement, Stid

9:23 pm

But for his part, Sebastian spent his days hauling water for animals, shlepping out the wagon, helping the cook gather wood for the fire. On rare occasions, he got to ride when one of the drivers wanted a nap. Otherwise, he was now walking with the others.

By now, he knew most of the men's names. They just called him "boy." There was little conversation during the day, but in the evenings, when the bottle came out, he heard some strange tales. He finally figured out that these were sailors, and they were heading back to their ship after getting the supplies for the next voyage.

9:28 pm

stidmama

Sebastian didn't know what would happen when they arrived in thte port city. He assumed the sailors would take him aboard.

9:28 pm

Eva

My god, can you believe that I had every form of that re word EXCEPT for the plain old singular! Talk about fish time!

9:28 pm

stidmama

He wasn't sure how he felt about this. He knew his mother would be frantic if she knew.

9:29 pm

stidmama

He worried a bit about Adam and Nan -- whether they were going to be okay. Whether Nan was even alive...

9:29 pm

stidmama

But he had no chance to escape as someone was always watching him. And when they came to a settlement once or twice he was tied up and gagged and placed in the back of the wagon again.

9:30 pm

Eva

Done!!! Thanks for that last one!
