beast, just set yourself up in paypal for bank transfer
12:56 am
Ornith
beast, yeah, it may take a few days to confirm the account before you can use it, I forget - but they give you a little money in the process!
12:57 am

Helen... and if we sleep with our love, we cobed, right?
12:57 am

Got them, I think, Hugs! Build on 6, right?
1:02 am

There were so many negative reports on paypal, that I refuse to use it. World Pay is a much better option -- affiliated with the Bank of Scotland
1:02 am
Hugabugs
That's right Sprite
1:03 am
jillibus
Fran, I don't know if mine is business or personal - the books are self-published ones on the development of Great Danes, which I wrote.
1:03 am

1:09 am
tazpink

1:10 am

es36: maintained, paid the bill
3:19 am
Atalante
ooh you might like this, sprite, yesterday's playing: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40
194913/ You have to read the text underneath the pic to understand though!
3:21 am
sprite
hehehe, brilliant!
3:21 am
ramix
hmm that's a toughie sprite
3:21 am
Ornith
don't think I know that word sprite
3:21 am
sprite
Do you have As5/12? The race one? Change first letter, then make past tense.
3:22 am
mkl
Well, I'm down to 117 left. Since lickety isn't online yet, I think I'll go do something equally fun. Like putting bamboo slivers under my fingernails. Nite all
3:22 am
Ornith

3:22 am
ramix
ah...danke sprite
3:22 am
sprite
oh mkl, can I help, please? ;)

3:23 am
Ornith

Ornith
ok... re7/28?
3:24 am
sprite
Great Ata :) We are close, it is so exciting :)
3:24 am
philod14
i see lickety isnt updated.. thought it was a bit of a coincidence that there was 208 words today too..
3:24 am
Atalante
its such a *lovely* design now!
3:24 am
Ornith
afraid not, philod. and we've needed it, too!
3:25 am
sprite
Ornith: chymosin. Ends in protruding thing in face with other vowel.
3:25 am
sprite
I am looking at it all the time, Ata, I think I am in love, lol.
3:26 am
philod14
very apt phantom.. sergio garcia..
3:26 am
sprite
lol philod!
3:27 am
Ornith
had to look up the clue word, but thanks, sprite
3:27 am
Atalante
you believe in coincidences, don't you? while I was drawing the last draft, one of my good friends was drawing this - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39
667774/ - completely separately!
3:29 am
sprite
That is almost scary, Ata, LOL! Synchronicity, again :)
3:30 am
sprite
Se6: to discriminate or distinguish in thought
Se7: 3rd person singular.
3:30 am
sprite
We've got a lot of that during the creation of the tattoo, Ata. Nice :)
3:31 am
Ornith
I didn't know that was a word
3:31 am
ramix
oh, i still dont get it
3:32 am
Ornith
ata, do you have a link to the thing you're drawing for sprite? I want to see it now
3:32 am
sprite
ramix: Se7 usually starts Dis.
3:33 am
sprite
Once it is finished, you can have a peek, Ornith :)
3:33 am
sprite
If that's okay with you, that is, Ata.
3:33 am
Atalante
exactly, Ornith :)
3:33 am
Atalante
patience, young padawan etc etc etc ;)
3:34 am
philod14
i must still be asleep.. cause these clues are going straight over my head..
3:34 am
ramix
aargh....total blank....all i can think of is segregate
3:34 am
Ornith
it isn't that cross tattoo in the gallery, is it? that's gorgeous.
3:35 am
sprite
ramix: it rhymes with what we do with the money our jobs give us, before we spend it ;)
Ornith: mine is even more gorgeous!
3:35 am
Atalante
nope - that was a design I did for my best friend. She actually had it coloured in yesterday afternoon! I'm waiting for her to come onto IM so I can see photos!
3:35 am
sprite
Wow, that's also exciting, Ata! Last phase of the tattoo?
3:35 am
Atalante
yup! will show photos tomorrow!
3:36 am
Ornith
oh, how cool. I have a design in mind for a tattoo myself that I CANNOT draw... I can draw, but only very specific things. then again, I'm sure I can't afford to have it done just now anyway
3:36 am
sprite
Love to see the result!
3:36 am
philod14
can someone tell me how many words today please?
3:36 am
ramix
mama!! gaaah!!! can you do a 'for dummies' clue please sprite
3:37 am
Ornith
philod, 278
3:37 am
sprite
I once drew a cat for my kids. My son looked at it and said, very gently: "That is a nice elephant, mom. Really."
3:37 am
helenkeller
good nite everyone - leaving meself a whopping 111 for manana
3:37 am
Atalante
LOL I think I'm starting to specialise in that. "Have a tattoo design you can't draw? I'll do it for you!"
3:37 am
Ornith
ata, I like your design for phedre's marque better than the book one!
3:37 am
philod14
thats a lot of words!!
3:37 am
helenkeller
bye-bye :)
3:37 am
philod14
only about 250 left :)
3:37 am
Atalante
*mutters* so do I Ornith. So do most people, really ...
3:38 am
Ornith
lol sprite
3:38 am
sprite
See Ata? I agree with Ornith about Phedre's marque too. You could do more tattoos ;)
3:38 am
Ornith
the one on the book cover is just Not Right
3:38 am
Ornith
If you have time, I'd love to discuss your doing mine, Ata!
3:38 am
Atalante
the book cover one was never properly designed. the artist guy just created it without any consultation with Jacqueline Carey etc
3:39 am
Atalante
and so ... yeah, its not right
3:39 am
Ornith
the sad thing is that people have gone and gotten the book one for real
3:40 am
sprite
ramix: start with 'to tear apart', first 3 letters.
Then repeat that 3rd letter.
Then add first word of famous soup ".. the world turns"
Then add vowel.
3:40 am
Atalante
we can certainly discuss! my email / IM addys are in my profile! and yes, I think that's just *weird* really. A not very right Phedre tattoo ...
3:40 am
sprite
The one on the book is plain plain. Just not anywhere near the one Carey must have pictured.
3:40 am
ExWren
Another big grid, so I guess I will not be playing again today
3:41 am
Atalante
I'm really pestering Jacqueline Carey. Not nastily, just showing her work Kushiel work, cos I know she loves it. Hoepfully one day, she might sack her illustrator and hire me :P
3:41 am
sprite
Errrr... famous SOAP. Not soup. Sorry.
3:41 am
sprite
She will, Ata. She'd be nuts not to. I am positive she feels you resonate to what she has written.
3:42 am
Ornith
oh, you have msn Ims. darn. don't have that one. will email you then... unless you have AIM as well?
3:42 am
Ornith
and yes, please please pester her! that's been driving me nuts, and I really like her books.
3:42 am
Atalante
have AIM! its a bit dodgy - ie works half the time LOL my name there is elegaer
3:42 am
Ornith
Am having trouble waiting for the latest one to come out in paperback, going to be most of a year
3:43 am
Ornith
but hardcovers are so expensive, and space is at a premium for me also.
3:43 am
Atalante
my friend who has the cross tattoo has met her and talked to her a lot about Phedre designs ... she has a poster we made up of friend's tattoo Phedre style and I know her publisher likes it ... so am (probably futilely crossing fingers)
3:44 am
Ornith
ok, one more clue, and I'll break 200 and stop with this for the night: to7/28
3:44 am
Atalante
I would have waited for the paperback too, but friend got me a signed copy at the booksigning :)
3:44 am
sprite
*lights a candle, sends up a couple of prayers and crosses fingers too*
3:44 am
sprite
Ornith, think bull fighters
3:44 am
ramix
no wonder...sprite, you're giving me a clue for the re...i was asking for the se
3:45 am
Atalante
woot! is nice to find another person who loves the books on babble!
3:46 am
Ornith
alright! less than 100 left now and no more 7+'s
3:46 am
Ornith
have you read her non-Kushiel pair of books Ata?
3:46 am
Atalante
noooo, I'd really like to though
3:47 am
sprite
Okay, ramix, Se7.
First 3 letters 'dry' as in wine.
Then "to deserve, to get (money)", drop one vowel.
For the 7 make into 3rd person singular.
Or try: to whom it may con.... and put another start on it.
3:47 am
Ornith
they're really cool (and in paperback) - it's like Tolkein told from the point of view of Sauron's servants. And with more moral ambiguity
3:48 am
sprite
I want to read those too!
3:48 am
Atalante
really? WOW! I want to read them more now!
3:48 am
sprite
But not this weekend, Ata, you've got work to do (evil grin)
3:49 am
Ornith
if you lived near me I'd lend them, but... heh
3:49 am
Atalante
*fingers hovering over my amazon link now*
3:50 am

3:53 am
SueMagee
Got it! Thank you very much all.
3:55 am

Almost opposite, lol.
3:55 am
Ornith

3:56 am
sprite
I want to nag. I am down to 4. I want a list!
Ornith... actually I think Ob9 is Ob8 than Di4, but hey, who am I :)
3:56 am
ramix

3:57 am
Ornith
I may not have the di4 you're talking about, sprite

It is the slimming one, Ornith. Very Ob7.

4:00 am
Atalante
why do I keep looking for obscure when there is no U?
4:00 am
SueMagee
I keep looking for generous on the same basis Atta!
4:00 am
sprite
Because you are a good girl, to whom all things Ob7 are obscure?
4:01 am
ramix
sprite, do u have the eg6/24
4:01 am
sprite
Missing R was R4, my husband's name in plural. Yeah, no wonder, there is only one like him!
4:02 am
sprite
Re7/36 minus first letter, ramix.
I still need 3 x an S-word :(

Where are you getting your stats from? I've checked both lickety and babanon and today's aren't up yet!
4:08 am
sprite
Or it's because you have an artist's mind, Ata, that sees what isn't there and makes it into something beautiful :)
4:08 am
hydra
Sorry, I'm very rude. Should have said hi to all!
4:08 am
sprite
No stats yet, hydra, except for the babble ones. Some listings in the log though from people who have the biggies.

Haz, from the bottom right one.
4:25 am

Frances
I have co7/36 cr7/32 and gr7/40
5:26 am

Can you guys clue the eight (and other sevens) - the only 7s I have are what kids get when they touch each other (especially if the touchie is unpopular) (that's co7), I have a cr7 meaning to be more angry, and an so7 meaning to be knurder (work it out)
5:26 am
Frances
Just found another ne7/40
5:26 am

5:31 am
mattygroves
Nope. It's when you're even more knurd (spell it backwards)
5:32 am
Frances
Thank you DOH!
5:32 am
mattygroves
Now - tell me about knots on tree trunks?
5:33 am
jg26
thanks matty, success at last
5:33 am
Frances
I see that the opposite is here!
5:33 am
Frances
A knot on a tree trunk is also known as a knur
5:34 am
mattygroves
Oooh - I see. I'm alluding to Discworld.
5:35 am
mattygroves
Is that you finished, jg?
5:35 am
jg26
no way, i just meant i got a seven letter word, thanks for the vote of confidence!
5:37 am
mattygroves
I've got an ob7
5:37 am
PappouTed
still looking for my first one, jg and the 8s and the 9s, but then I just started.
5:37 am
mattygroves

5:39 am
jg26

5:40 am
PappouTed
yay, found it, thanks
5:44 am
Atalante
can I have a clue for the obs? I've been trying to find them for ages!
5:45 am
mattygroves
Gee, apparently this woman, "Being the wife of late Chief of Defence Minister Mr Gobah William of Guinea
Bissau .My late husband was assassinated by unknwon military men suspected
planed by the present government." wants to share $7 million with me, if only I'll help her move the money. D'ya think it's on the level :D
5:45 am
Atalante
I'd go for it, matty ....
5:45 am
jg26
musical instrument atlante
5:45 am
mattygroves
Ata, the offer below could be considered ob7/40 on one level - so could a dirty movie.
5:46 am
mattygroves
I wonder what one has to do to be 'unknwon'
5:46 am
Eva
Matty, I think you'd be selfish and foolish to pass up this offer of a lifetime. I only wish they'd contacted me.
5:47 am
mattygroves
I can forward you the offer if you like?
5:47 am
PappouTed
found my second 7 letter word. co7, 36
5:47 am
Eva
no, no....that's okay, but clearly you were chosen very carefully
5:47 am
PappouTed
and my first 8
5:48 am
mattygroves
Clearly, Eva. What 8 did you find, Pap?
5:48 am
PappouTed
the plural of the co7
5:49 am
PappouTed
to compel
5:50 am
PappouTed
many who force to you to act or think in a special way
5:50 am
Eva
thanks pappou!
5:50 am
jg26

5:52 am
mattygroves
Body louse, JG?
5:52 am
mattygroves
Never mind - you mean kid body louse
5:53 am
PappouTed
what little kids say when they are teasing someone, Don't touch him, he's got the co-------
5:53 am
jg26
matty, rhymes with something you put on babies feet to keep them warm
5:53 am
mattygroves
Yah - had that one (one of my first).
5:53 am
mattygroves
I just didn't connect louse with kid touching disease
5:54 am
jg26
thats what it said in dictionary
5:54 am
Uneaixoise
I was here at the flip and have just come back in--do we know if lickety's clues are coming soon/later?
5:54 am
mattygroves
Makes sense - the word must have come from somewhere.
5:55 am
mattygroves
Dunno - but Sprite has apparently posed clues in BabAnon
5:55 am
Frances
Just off to the post office. Back later
5:56 am
mattygroves
Found a nine - ob9
5:56 am
mattygroves
If someone is a co8/50, he forces you into ob9/78
5:57 am
Eva
Anne-are you lurking?
5:58 am
PappouTed
does that 9 build off a small word
5:58 am
PappouTed
smaller word
5:58 am
Eva
pappou-you take an unruly dog to o school
5:58 am
mattygroves
It does, but not in this grid, I don't think.

mattygroves
Hi Fishy!
6:00 am
Fishbulb
Hey matty - :) really need to go food shopping, but can't seem to get away from the grid!
6:01 am
PappouTed
I don't usually go to a list until I have more than half the words on my own. I still have a long way to go so I don't know the combos yet
6:01 am
PappouTed
the food will still be there, LOL
6:01 am
Fishbulb
hehe... my thoughts exactly. :)
6:02 am
allfleshisgrass
O usually only go to the list when it is there
6:02 am
mattygroves
There is a list of sorts that Sprite has posted, but I haven't checked it yet.
6:03 am
allfleshisgrass

6:03 am
PappouTed

6:20 am
jg26

6:20 am
mattygroves
For the di8/9 - think church - an area in which a church has sway is a di****** - that's not the word - but close - affairs of the area are di8/50.
6:25 am
PappouTed

Uneaixoise
Crime Scene Investigators

6:50 am
FMitch

6:53 am
Cat9x
Pam, it's like being hypnotised, taken back into "past lives" they call this re*****ion.
6:53 am
mattygroves
re7/21 - to make someone angry again. Or make them perpendicular again.
6:53 am
mattygroves
re7/36 - to take someone back, or to turn into a child again. The second part is kind of like the little green stuff you put in egg sandwiches, but with a differnt first letter.
6:54 am
pam

6:54 am
Flask1

Cat9x

7:01 am
mattygroves

7:01 am
mattygroves
Oooh - i don't have an es5...

FMitch
The es sounds like the horse racing venue up the road from me.
7:02 am
Flask1
I don't know anything about baseball!!

mattygroves
Well, the word contains two components, the ball and the ... ba...

mattygroves
So...who's going to the list then? I have 114 words, and probably will resort - but may well strech my legs first...
7:09 am
mattygroves
I'm sure I'll resort - I'm just not good enough to finish without it.
7:09 am
jg26
going to perservere without it for a while
7:09 am
Flask1
got the baseball one!!!.............AT LAST!!!!!!!
7:09 am
Jacula

Im at 162, wow I'm at 162 didn't realise I had scraped that many together (great clues in the log always help though).
7:11 am
Frances
FMitch
Did you know that there is a cricket ground in the middle of that racecourse. I was there scoring a couple of weeks ago.
7:11 am
Flask1
How come I still have yesterdays list????
7:12 am
FMitch
I did indeed Frances, was it moved or altered with the big rebuild?
7:12 am
Frances
No. They had to move the golf course across the road but the cricket ground stayed where it was and it really is lovely.
7:14 am
Jacula
No 'debag'? Good grief!
7:14 am
Flask1
Can anyone tell me why I still have yesterdays list please??
7:14 am
mattygroves
Try refreshing - shift f5 to clear the cache?
7:14 am
Frances
Sorry Flask. I haven't looked at any lists yet.
7:14 am
FMitch
Yes the golf course has aparently settled very well and is already a good course.
7:15 am
Frances
The cricket ground is so quiet and peaceful. You can just see the rails of the course on the boudary.
7:16 am
Frances
I mean boundary
7:16 am
Flask1
Oh well.......no list for me today!!
7:18 am
Judi
Morning, Babblers. Just a quick stab at the puzzle here before I have to run out.
7:18 am
Cat9x
tis okay Flask, I didn't have that yet! :)
7:18 am
FMitch
Flask - sprite posted a list on BabAnon it that would help? Go to Babblers Anon then general and then it's about the 3rd post down on the list I think.
7:18 am
Cat9x
Good morning Judy
7:18 am
Flask1
Oh well.....you deserve it....after all the help you've given me this morning!
7:19 am
Flask1
ok Mitch....thanks!
7:19 am
licketySplitAUS
Flask - I think you're suffering from a Proxy Caching problem. If Shift F5 - or Cntrl F5 or menu - Refresh, or restart browser doesn't refresh - then you need to clear your internet history. Everyone else see's it fine.
7:19 am
Flask1
still doesn't explain why I can't get Lickety's tho'....
7:20 am
Flask1
Ok thanks...I shall try again!
7:21 am
mrpresident
hi everyone... bit of a big grid today, nice for the weekend
7:21 am
FMitch
Frances - does that mean you are fairly local to the area or do you travel all over doing the scoring?
7:22 am
FMitch
Hey MrP, feeling any better?
7:22 am
Cat9x
I can email you the clue page if you'd like Flask

LOL I just glanced down to see how many words left and my poor bloodshot eyes saw 419 and got confused, I thought there were that many left! That's just how many points I have... maybe I should tackle this in the AM.

Hi Miss, stick around for a little longer. What time is it over there?

8:44 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Dorens, I can find words and not feel too guilty. I notice that you are from NJ. I have a sister up in Montvale.
8:44 am
Dorens
thankds pida. but the day i iget insulted by no hello's from any babble friend, i need to have my head examined (my nose is much in the grid today too)
8:45 am
Haz1558

8:45 am
shorty
Oh ok thats cool thanks
8:46 am
sherb
in fact, I have the Honeycomb on one side of the screen and the babble chat log on the other... bliss :)
8:46 am
Haz1558
That explains it FMItch. And Sherb - don't concentrate on quote-puzzler any more than you have been doing or your scores will go throughthe roof.
8:47 am
Haz1558
I've never worked out with honeycomb whether it's best to concentrate on backwards/forwards words or longer ones. It's a fun puzzle though.

Hi bloodaxe

hello Bloodaxe
8:48 am
sherb
I'm aiming for the monthly QP prize... only problem being you have to play just about every day... beginning to feel like the tyranny of daily Babbling...
8:48 am
Haz1558
Bloodaxe - good morning to you.
8:48 am
Dorens
hi bloodaxe
8:49 am
Bloodaxe
how's the grid today?
8:49 am
sherb
backwards/forewards is the most important thing... although from yesterday there are extra points for longer words, so we'll have to see if that changes things...
8:49 am
Haz1558
Is the QP prize of monetary value or are you playing for pride mostly?
8:50 am
sherb
pride, completely... I think the actual prize is a book token... might not even be usable in the UK...
8:50 am
Charm
some big words but nothing really weird. yet
8:51 am
Haz1558
Then it's a bit like Crufts - the prizes there are of negligible value in monetary terms, but are highly sought after!
8:52 am
Charm
Haz, really nice pic of the dog....
8:53 am
Haz1558
Thanks Charm. It was taken to let Atalante and others see how nice she looked after being groomed the other day. She smelt great as well!
8:53 am
Charm
Nothing so pleasant as a dog just home from a bath!
8:53 am
Charm
Ours takes about 2-3 days before he stops smelling of 'wet dog' and goes back to having not much of any scent....
8:54 am
faeriekae
Hi Haz long time no see
8:54 am
Haz1558
I know - they must have a special shampoo at the groomers. I'm tempted to get some for myself, it smells so good....

11:42 am

the female students have some troubles, but not on campus really. the school is segregated as far as dorms go, but the university is pretty relaxed. they run into some issues when they visit more conservative cities, or if they go to town alone.
11:42 am
bichon
How do I do that?
11:43 am

I think we may be going to Dublin (as part of one of '50 mad things to do before you die' from one of our number who is in remission from cancer. We will have a huge cake - we dare not have candles for all of us on it though; we may burn Dublin down! When we are 60, were are partying in purple hats on bicycles with baskets and will shout at everyone in the street... LOL.
