Life is confusing Fran - safer not!

1:34 am

FranMag

true angb

1:34 am

Angb

OPh my goodness - I have been trying to get at least half of the 7 n words on the top row. Just now checked and found there is only 1 - wasted 15 minutes LOL

1:35 am

FranMag

i have 7 out of 8 Ks, does anyone want to compare and try to find the last one?

1:35 am

FranMag

how funny ang! i do that all the time though.

1:36 am

Angb

Gee fran - I only have 3 so I will keep quiet. all 4/8s

1:36 am

FranMag

okay, let me know if you want clues for what i have.

1:37 am

FranMag

yay! found all the Ks!

1:37 am

Angb

There may be someone else here lurking ... maybe ... but they sure are quiet

1:37 am

FranMag

they're all 4 letters

1:37 am

FranMag

deep in the grid i'm sure.

1:38 am

metaleather

I was here but deep in the grid

1:38 am

FranMag

hey angb, i've been meaning to tell you a story.

1:38 am

Angb

Only (just checking the grid) fashing you metal

1:38 am

Angb

Yes fran ...

1:39 am

FranMag

my husband did a wedding last year and a few of the guests came from NZ for the wedding

1:39 am

FranMag

they wanted to hear some "kiwi" bands (their words) and all we had was crowded house!

1:40 am

Angb

Now ... Terry my partner and I were talking about that just the other day. How many Maori felt at home in Hawaii.

1:40 am

FranMag

do you know of any other groups that may have crossed the waters?

1:40 am

Angb

Crowded House is not too bad.

1:40 am

FranMag

actually, everyone came from out of state, the couple was living in the mainland.

1:40 am

jazi

hey everyone

1:40 am

Angb

Not many Fran ... they then call themselves Australian bands!

1:41 am

Angb

Crowded House and their earlier name Split Enz are the biggest

1:41 am

FranMag

i see, so they usually go to australia first?

1:41 am

FranMag

oh, i like both incarnations.

1:42 am

metaleather

'night all... I have to be up early (about the time I usually go to bed) so it's time for me to grab the cat and the boyfriend and head off to bed. Happy Babbling

1:42 am

Angb

But how parochial - fancy wanting NZ bands in the USA - dreamers! Yes, NZ bands make it in Aus.

1:42 am

FranMag

night ml!

1:42 am

Angb

Nite metal. Where does the cat sleep?

1:43 am

FranMag

the way they asked my husband was, "you got any kiwi music?"

1:43 am

Angb

Yes well, they must have liked your beer!

1:43 am

jillibus

nite metal

1:43 am

FranMag

anyway, was just interested to see if there was a big group we were missing.

1:44 am

Angb

Look our stations are full of US music ... we had to put quotas on the local stuff

1:44 am

jillibus

aits

1:44 am

Angb

If they were Maori you should always play 10 guitars - a local favourite.

1:44 am

jillibus

mine

1:45 am

jillibus

amine

1:45 am

jillibus

uhoh -- sorry

1:45 am

Angb

Of course a national hero (I think he is yuck) spent many years singing in Hawaii - John Rowles. Gross

1:45 am

FranMag

i don't think any of them were Maori. all "haoles"

1:45 am

Angb

Jilli I've got those.

1:46 am

Angb

In Maori terms, and in general usage we call them pakehas

1:46 am

jillibus

aw shucks

1:46 am

Angb

Haoles - that's been in the grid heaps!

1:47 am

FranMag

thanks angb, i'll look up those later in case we do another "kiwi" wedding

1:47 am

Angb

Mind you if you were talking to the large PI contingent here - there are more Cook Islanders in NZ than in the Cook Islands supposedly - pakehas are palangis

1:47 am

jillibus

bedtime -- bye all!

1:47 am

FranMag

that's interesting.

1:47 am

FranMag

night jilli!

1:48 am

FranMag

pakeha is a valid babble word

1:48 am

FranMag

not palangi though

1:49 am

flosey

back again, night jilli, didn't realize daughter in law was also still up! talking to relatives in Philippines where it's mid day

1:50 am

FranMag

i think you just missed jilli flosey

1:50 am

sprite

We are definitely on a K streak. Morning dear gang!

1:50 am

flosey

catch her tomorrow

1:50 am

Angb

Dave Dobbyn, the Dudes, but hey I'm over the hill ...

1:51 am

FranMag

hi sprite! have no fear, if you get stuck i've got them all.

1:52 am

FranMag

you'd be surprised angb, the oldies are much more reliable as reception music.

1:52 am

sprite

Fran, you might be my saviour then! I am getting better in Ks with an H attached, but this one seems limited to A and O :(

1:52 am

Angb

Dave Dobbyn is a cert then

1:52 am

FranMag

well they're all 4 letter words so a little easier to find today, i bet your monkey has no problem

1:53 am

sprite

My monkey cannot find the K on the keyboard, it seems, lol. But thanks for that tip!

1:53 am

Angb

Although a current fav is Bic Runga - but a bit low key. There is some lovely partially ethnic stuff coming out like Anika Moa ... but its hardly reception stuff.

1:54 am

FranMag

another tip, they're all KAs

1:54 am

sprite

Fran, you're the best. Now I will find them for sure.

1:54 am

Angb

Now I'm sounding parochial. We claim the Crowe actor - but he was only born here. Poor guy is an Aussie in Aus, then claims to be a kiwi when he is in NZ

1:55 am

FranMag

anything to be popular wherever he goes

1:56 am

sprite

Got them. Thanks again, Fran!

1:57 am

FranMag

yw sprite!

1:57 am

sprite

what is a kiwi, except a fruit and a bird?

1:58 am

FranMag

someone from new zealand

1:59 am

sprite

Ah, ok, thanks :) Learn something new here every day.

2:00 am

Angb

Now this kiwi fruit thing. Originally called a Chinese gooseberry until us NZers changed its name and marketed it to the world. Yowie we have made our mark!

2:00 am

FranMag

i'll be back later, time to get baby to sleep

2:00 am

Angb

Oh and Sir Ed was the first to climb Mt Everest

2:00 am

Angb

See ya Fran

2:00 am

sprite

later Fran, give baby a little kiss from me

2:01 am

sprite

So you are a kiwi too, Angb?

2:01 am

sprite

or is it a derogative term?

2:02 am

Angb

Yep ... I don't know of any others on the site.

2:02 am

Angb

Plenty of Australians

2:02 am

Angb

Kiwis is fine. It's the name we use for ourselves

2:03 am

sprite

I don't know anything of New Zealand, only what friends of me told when they had been there: that it is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

2:04 am

Angb

So we are told - and we are very friendly. Many Dutch and Germans come here for holidays. In fact there is a sizable Dutch community in NZ

2:04 am

jean1953

good morning everyone:)

2:04 am

Angb

Hi jean

2:04 am

sprite

I must admit I would never go on holiday to meet other Dutch, lol. But I would really really love to visit your country and see the great nature there.

2:04 am

lynxxx

and every Kiwi I have ever met has been a really great person. they have a wicked sense of humour. and yes, they are really friendly.

2:05 am

sprite

I love a wicked sense of humour.

2:05 am

Angb

Thanks lynxxx. It is a natural country - there b... all else to do but.

2:06 am

Angb

And of course we love our fellow SH Australians unless they are on the cricket pitch, rugby field ....

2:08 am

sprite

the needleholders are back

2:08 am

sprite

and phantom: mastiff

2:08 am

lynxxx

lots of Kiwis in Australia too Sprite - out of the group I work with 2 out of 20 are from NZ. Lots of fun mocking each others accents. Strine is very nasalls whereas NZ's can't say "i" - they say "u" as in "chups" instead of "chips"

2:09 am

sprite

Sounds like fin, lynxxx!

2:09 am

Angb

No you have it wrong lynxxx. Aussies say cheeps we say chips LOL

2:10 am

Angb

As I was about to say ... Aussies have a great sense of humour too.

2:10 am

lynxxx

True true .... I cringe when they repeat what I say!

2:10 am

sprite

argh, okay, the hunger is valid, but the womanlike is a phantom!

2:11 am

Angb

I am trying to find u words. I think I will leave them believing that they are long un words.

2:12 am

lynxxx

Rugby AngB

2:12 am

sprite

I have two short un words that are not un in the not sense

2:13 am

Angb

Are you trying to stir a Kiwi lynxxx or was that a clue

2:13 am

lynxxx

clue

2:14 am

Angb

OK I got it ... although an Aussie who knew that type of rugby - thought you all got into that Aussie Rules

2:15 am

lynxxx

I am as much into football as rugby - which isn't saying much!

2:15 am

Angb

There is one un word - ma 4/9

2:16 am

lynxxx

TY Ang

2:17 am

sprite

ah, the at the end of the ball word!

2:17 am

Angb

lynxxx I was brought up in a soccer household - but watched rugby on a huge screen one day - got quite excited about close up pictures of the scrum - lu 4/5. Sad case really

2:17 am

sprite

thanks

2:19 am

sprite

T7/28 is a compound

2:19 am

lynxxx

2:20 am

2:23 am

Edonia

hi lynxxx

2:24 am

Edonia

I really need to go pro here too all caught up on sudoku

2:24 am

jaianniah

This puzzle isn't too bad if you use logic- Lickety's point values are very helpful in finding words because of the c, m, k, etc- just a hint- also, a LOT of words build backwards...

2:24 am

sprite

is the sudoku bad today?

2:24 am

Edonia

no real easy

2:25 am

MVA

i have no hope if logic is needed!!

2:25 am

sprite

lol MVA

2:25 am

Edonia

a quick point sprite

2:25 am

jaianniah

LOL!

2:25 am

Angb

I would agree here MVA - it's Saturday nite here - and ...

2:26 am

sprite

wow, found the 7s without hints, that's a first.

2:26 am

Edonia

lol

2:26 am

Angb

I've got 3 sprite - may have to beg later

2:26 am

Edonia

good for you sprite

2:27 am

jaianniah

However, there are a few "clinkers"- like as 5/18- query a Japanese fish???

2:27 am

mab

anyone remember rep. wilbur mills and fannie foxe, 'the argentinian bombshell'?

2:28 am

sprite

3 of the 7s are perfectly normal words, one is a biological term.

2:28 am

Angb

Wouldn't you know it - I am missing one of the normal words LOL

2:29 am

sprite

you are a true babbler, Angb! lol

2:30 am

Angb

I scare myself. I am working through each of the boxes - I insist I get at least half of the words ... and then I panic!

2:31 am

sprite

LMAO... sounds pretty neurotic... almost familiar!

2:31 am

Edonia

all i have are 4.5 and 6's :(

2:31 am

Angb

Join the rest of us ... No I joke. If you ever want a clue Edonia just ask. We all share around here

2:32 am

Edonia

thanks angb

2:32 am

Angb

Thanks sprite ... I keep on saying I am going to do this sensibly and go to the list when it's available. But ...

2:33 am

sprite

The way to play babble must fit our personalities, or we won't be able to keep on doing it, Angb! ;)

2:35 am

Angb

Too true sprite

2:36 am

sprite

I never plan, I just jump in and type every word that jumps out to me until none does anymore. Then I start looking at the tiles, see if I can grey out a few more. Then I check the chat posts... lots of clues there always. After that... blood, sweat and tears!

2:37 am

MVA

isn't that the only way sprite?!

2:37 am

Kateq

Good Morning!

2:37 am

jean1953

good morning Kateq

2:37 am

MVA

hi kateq

2:37 am

Angb

I suppose everyone is different. There are others who just wait for the list ... and I can see why ... still looking for that elusive word so I can go on to the next box

2:37 am

Angb

Hi Kate

2:38 am

sprite

lol MVA, for us it is, I think. Others start at the top of the bottom and work through the alphabet in a structured manner

2:38 am

sprite

hi Kateq

2:39 am

PurloinedLetter

before beginning, I generally sacrifice a candy wrapper to the word gods, wait for clues and tehn beg

2:39 am

sprite

That sounds as a very good approach, Purl!

2:39 am

Angb

Good strategy Purloined

2:39 am

MVA

i think i'll try that purloined!

2:40 am

MVA

where's my candy!

2:40 am

sprite

2:42 am

sprite

sudden silence reveals lots of babblers sacrificing candy wrappers

2:42 am

jean1953

sprite

2:43 am

jean1953

your most kind sprite thank you:)

2:44 am

sprite

i6/21, a bit like what one must use if they are diabetic, but drop a consonant.

2:45 am

sprite

(if that helps, I will take that glass of wine, lol)

2:45 am

Angb

That was the one I was looking for sprite - now I can move to the a next to it!

2:45 am

MVA

2:45 am

Angb

The wine is yours

2:46 am

Atalante

3:20 am

Haz1558

I had been on last night, mentioned that your icon would win prizes for the most handsome and you not being around was forced to show the ladies what I meant. There was much swooning and sharing of smelling salts.

3:28 am

FranMag

3:42 am

sherb

3:43 am

Haz1558

Well, for goodness sake.

3:43 am

FMitch

does that mean you found it Haz?

3:43 am

Haz1558

Indeed - it was FranMag's hint that gave it to me.

3:44 am

FranMag

it was a pretty subtle hint though, don't you think?

3:44 am

Haz1558

It was lovely. I like subtle.

3:44 am

sherb

very subtle... :)

3:45 am

3:45 am

3:46 am

Atalante

*waves at FM* didn't say hi to you!

3:46 am

FMitch

FranMag

fmitch there are quite a few babblets actually

3:46 am

ursh

3:46 am

Haz1558

Ah well, you'll need to look to another for that, I'm afraid, ursh.

3:47 am

FMitch

Ah, I will have to keep digging away then Fran.

3:47 am

FranMag

thanks fmitch, i didn't have the needlecase yet!

3:48 am

FranMag

ursh, i have one that a + m***sail

3:48 am

Haz1558

I thought for a minute that feuar was there and held my vreath when it looked like the beginning of socmen, but no....

3:48 am

FranMag

and one that is am4/5 + a vowel at the end, that's all i have.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, apart from the economic kind, but I suppose you dould say it's lu4/5 for money that causes them.

4:05 am

4:30 am

Atalante

4:31 am

Angb

Scrap that matty -

4:31 am

Kateq

for the am 5 try ending with the first vowel

4:32 am

mattygroves

4:32 am

Odin

It is ata but dictionary .com lists it and it is on lickety's list and the other lists...color me confused

4:33 am

FranMag

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I 'll be helping my sister, parents, and cousin clean up tree damage from the snowstorm received here Oct 12. My cousin just got her pwoer back last night, but my sister and parents still have no power or phone. It has been a long week for everyone here in western NY. Check out photos on www.wgrz.com.

6:30 am

Enomis65

hello babblers how is the grid this morning? As weird as yesterday?

6:30 am

licketySplitAUS

Scrabbler - Great attitude - You are a great help to them - really!

6:31 am

Mom

Oh Scrabbler, that is awful. I am so sorry. I will check the photos. Have seen some reports on the Weather Channel

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Matty, I am just getting familiar with the grid. I have had guests here all week and am losing my mind somewhat. I live alone so I miss the solitude and quiet.

6:32 am

licketySplitAUS

Scrabbler - good luck with the crowd!

6:32 am

Mom

Good morning Enomis65.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Lickety--I am wondering, how do you do the clues? When do you start and how long does it take you?

6:33 am

Atalante

woohoo! just booked tickets to go and see Spamalot, the new Monty Python musical!

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Watch out for the NeNes.

6:34 am

M3

tisk is a word?

6:34 am

mattygroves

Got it! Oooh - Ata, can I come!

6:34 am

Mom

Congrats, Atalante. That is currently playing here in Cincinnati, Ohio and getting rave reviews.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

No, I tried that word too.

6:34 am

Atalante

I've only heard really good things about it!

6:35 am

Mom

I believe it sold out here in very little time.

6:36 am

licketySplitAUS

sorry Scrabbler - had to walk away- got 3 kids under 10 here - just getting them to sleep

6:36 am

Atalante

yeah ... I've had to get expensive tickets *sigh*. But my best friend from the US and her husband are coming over for 3 weeks on wednesday, and I wanted to get something really fun to go and see up in london!

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Not an easy ta4, lickety!

6:37 am

Scrabbler

I guess task is not on the grid though.

6:37 am

Scrabbler

So many phantom words here today.

6:37 am

Mom

That is so nice of you, I am sure you all will enjoy it.

6:38 am

Mom

Scrabbler, task isn't but what Zorro wears is

6:38 am

Atalante

ooooo am all excited now! lol

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I have that. TY.

6:38 am

licketySplitAUS

ok, back for a asec. Scrabbler - it took me about 20 hours to write a program to create clues, now when I run it it take about 5 seconds to get the letters, then under a minute to get the clues, then I have to manually update the 2 pages - the clues page and the printable clues page - and that takes about 3 minutes - BUT I have to do this during my work hours.

6:39 am

Mom

I, for one, appreciate your doing the list Lickety.

6:39 am

bichon

snaps for licketedy

6:40 am

licketySplitAUS

I love snaps - haven't had them for ages! ButterScotch/

6:40 am

licketySplitAUS

?

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Very cool, lickety. TY for what you do. It is certainly very helpful, especially when desperation hits. My sister thinks it is cheating to use your list, but I tell her it is part of the learning experience of learning new words.

6:40 am

mattygroves

Lickety, I thank you from the bottom of my heart - I'd be lost without your clues (and the automatic alphatising that it does!)

6:40 am

Mom

Atalante, Wednesday will be here before you know it. Will you be able to be home all the time they are there?

6:41 am

bichon

no, snaps is a term for kudos, like snapping your fingers instead of clapping. Ssorry for the confusion

6:41 am

licketySplitAUS

Matty - there is some info on my clues page on how best to thank me - But honestly - Your way is the best! Thank you so much.

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Arrgh, got to get ready for work. I iwll be thinking of everyone here, finding words and having a fun chat. Have a nice day/night. I will return tonight.

6:42 am

licketySplitAUS

bichon - Snaps for you!\

6:42 am

Atalante

oh yes :) we;'ve got the whole 3 weeks together and I can't WAIT!

6:43 am

mattygroves

(alphatising? should be alphabetising...)

6:43 am

Scrabbler

We knew what you meant, matty.

6:43 am

herinfernallady

hello

6:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Atalante - 3 weeks ? Sarcasm will get you everywher

herinfernallady

morning mom, finally got my own laptop so sponging net off partner via wireless

6:48 am

Mom

wireless is good. In our house we would be lost without it.

6:49 am

disneyjessi

how many words today plz & ty

6:50 am

herinfernallady

mom my laptop is designed for wireless so i have been giving the boy stick for his not working yet

6:50 am

Mom

179

6:51 am

Mom

He needs to get on that.

6:51 am

mattygroves

Ooh - my favourite needle case is there!

6:51 am

herinfernallady

thanks mom i was going to ask the same question

6:51 am

bonkler

it's he 21st century and email doesn't count?

6:52 am

bichon

my son and his wife had wireless in the Bay area [California] and they discontinued it cause their neighbors were sponging off it.

6:53 am

Mom

Bichon, wow! That takes nerve.

6:54 am

bichon

It's pretty common. they're both heavily into computers via their work so it was a big disappointment. I guess it's "carpe diem"

6:54 am

herinfernallady

bichon thats what securing the net is for as that is rude. My partner lets use his net as i do his washing and im his g/f

6:55 am

Mom

I figured you could use the wireless in house only. I had no clue that your neighbors could pick it up.

6:56 am

herinfernallady

mom you can go outside your house and see if your laptop picks up your net connection

6:56 am

bichon

I guess the signal extends a short distance outside the house. They live in the Bay area which is very densly settled. Houses are close together

6:57 am

Mom

I will do that. We have just one laptop the others are desktops.

6:57 am

Mom

I guess that is why I never thought of it.

6:57 am

Fishbulb

we have neighbours either side and a wireless network set up (but we also have the appropriate firewalls and security to stop our neighbours stealing our internet!)

6:57 am

herinfernallady

this house has good solid walls and the net connect is very week outside the house

6:58 am

Mom

I know my husband has put into place security measures and the firewalls as well.

6:59 am

Fishbulb

when we helped our neighbours next door set up their internet we took my laptop round and still had a very good signal. Its down right rude stealing your neighbours net connection, its such a shame your son had to cancel his because of his neighbours.

6:59 am

bichon

my one computer is next to a window and the house next to my is very close [cluster housing]. I know my neighbors wouldn't do that, but you never know what people's intentions are. I don't need wireless, but I have a "two-wire" so I can use another desktop down in the basement

6:59 am

mattygroves

Hey Fish!

6:59 am

herinfernallady

we also have a major shopping centre accross the road so there is free net there and next door are really old people and a doctors office so we are safe

6:59 am

bichon

7:00 am

Mom

Morning Fishbulb.

7:00 am

herinfernallady

also in the city there is a lot of wireless cafes so we don't have that much of a problem, hi fish

7:02 am

7:04 am

bichon

Inge, the Wesleyan, in CT. I'm in the mail center and we get wi-fi in the front, not in the back. We're next to the library and in the campus center. Lots of the classrooms get it

7:05 am

herinfernallady

hi new people

7:05 am

I was born and went to High School in Danbury, almost went to UConn, till an ivy league college grabbed me

7:06 am

inge

back to serious work now, 70 words to go

7:06 am

bichon

Lots of people are going to UCONN. It's upped its reputation and the price is right. Wesleyan is a "little Ivy" with a price tag to match.

7:07 am

Mom

The family is waking up so I had best get breakfast started. I have enjoyed the chat. Bye for now.

7:27 am

pam

how many sibligs do you have, faerie?

7:28 am

inge

7:28 am

faeriekae

I have 6 sisters and 2 bros but there are actually on 3 of us girls and my 2 bros who have been taking turns with her

7:29 am

Tiny

faerie, I know how difficult this can be. I only hope your mom is able to make a full recovery.

7:29 am

faeriekae

when i got to the hospital yesterday she was laying there with 2 pills stuck to the roof of her mouth and one of my sisters sitting there saying "I don't know what to do" I could have smacked her

7:29 am

inge

My Cleveland daughter was born in the University Hospital in Lexington. Has an excellent reputation

7:32 am

pam

I am sorry that some are more clueless than others, but that is not uncommon... I hope she is strong enough to be moved if indeed you decide to have her moved

7:32 am

faeriekae

Yes Pam it is it's just a shame that some of them feel they are uncapiable of staying with her and helping

7:32 am

pam

true, faerie

7:32 am

faeriekae

Pam we will have to fly her but I know we can do it if the rest will agree

7:33 am

Charm

faerie, I don't know what the prognosis for your mom is, but a good friend is going thru a tough time with her dad. Of eleven siblings, 5-6 are trying to care for their dad in his home. Basically end-of-life care; truly heartbreaking to watch the everyday struggles to hold out a brave face and do what needs to be done.

7:34 am

faeriekae

Charm you are exactly right and I honestly thought yesterday was her last day but she is hanging in there and I do know that this is the time when you find out just how tuff some are and some aren't

7:35 am

pam

Some people just can't do it, it's not that they won't, but it's that they can't... and it is sad

7:35 am

faeriekae

need to get back to the hospital and then off to work Happy Babbling everyone. Guess I just needed a few words of encouragement befor going back ((((Hugs to everyone))))

I've just been watching 84 Charing Cross Rd for the bazillionth time and once again came across this breathtaking expression of love: Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats

Does it seem to be a fairly easy grid? I haven't much time today.

9:56 am

roncook

fireworks for rusty and me

9:57 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't classify it as easy, Merk.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Others may disagree!

9:57 am

roncook

merk took us 5 hours about normal here

9:58 am

Fishbulb

congrats roncook & rusty - merk, i don't think its an easy one today :-S lots of 'odd' words IMO

9:58 am

Anniebrook

yay for rusty, you too, ron

9:59 am

Merk

OK, thanks. I guess I will start it then. The left side seems cluttered with vowels and they can drive me crazy when they pile up like that.

9:59 am

Merk

I'll give it a try and within 15 minutes I'll know whether or not to continue.

9:59 am

roncook

anniebrook whats the bridge then

10:00 am

Anniebrook

ron, is the bridge still there? It's the Verrazano Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island..

10:01 am

Merk

Roncook, what's the bridge to which you are referring. Is that a shortcut expression that Babblers use?

10:02 am

roncook

merk no just curious as we have only crossed under the golden gate

10:03 am

Merk

Shoot, I thought I was going to learn somehing new here. I still get confused when players write about fish.

10:04 am

roncook

whats fish got to do with it??

10:04 am

Merk

Nothing, but once in awhile someone will be chatting and they'll call something a fish.

10:04 am

bichon

does anyone have the 2nd am4/5? please

10:05 am

roncook

the fish today is a tu4/5

10:05 am

pida 1

Wellm Merk, sport fishing is a big thing in Florida, but babblephishing is what it is on here, when you ask for a clue, and it ends up being something simple, you shouldn't have missed

10:05 am

Camigwn

bichon, french female friend

10:06 am

Anniebrook

then you get hit with a fish...

10:06 am

sherb

Anj started the fish thing... he used to call for a wet haddock when he missed a simple word...

10:06 am

Merk

Oh I see that one. But when they talk about fish, it is not an actual fsh. Haz, you're here a lot. what am I talking about?

10:06 am

bichon

no, that's the 3rd am 4/5

10:06 am

pida 1

Good one , roncook, I had missed that one

10:06 am

Camigwn

oh, then I'm missing it too!

10:07 am

jean1953

good afternoon everybody:)

10:07 am

Haz1558

Merk - it's as Sherb says, if people miss a word they think should have been obvious they ask for a fish to hit themselves with. It has caused great confusion to new people!

10:07 am

pida 1

Merk, am I invisible?

10:07 am

Anniebrook

hi jean

10:07 am

bichon

10:08 am

sherb

10:08 am

flosey

any clues for am5/12, the third one please

10:08 am

pida 1

bye ron cook rusty

10:08 am

Haz1558

The first am4/5 sounds like a plus multiple shortened mothers and the third one is the french female friend

10:08 am

Anniebrook

bye ron and rusty

10:09 am

Haz1558

The third am5/12 is like the second, except for the last vowel.

10:09 am

Merk

OK, perhaps I need to be hit with a fish to clear my brain. I can't find the em 4,8. Is there a clue?

10:09 am

flosey

sorry, that's the 4th am5/12 I need

10:10 am

10:10 am

bichon

think idi am**

10:11 am

Merk

Does the em 7 build on that or do I did deeper?

10:11 am

Haz1558

No, the em7 is a normal word - relating to someone's importance or standing.

10:12 am

jonny

10:12 am

Oh yes, what I am not!

10:12 am

10:14 am

flosey

no, that's am4/5 need am5/12 (4th one)

10:14 am

bichon

sorry

10:15 am

Haz1558

am5/12 (4th) - relates to the fluid surrounding a foetus in the womb. It ends in a vowel.

10:15 am

bichon

flosey it's a chemical word add a vowel to the idi am**

10:16 am

Haz1558

Hi everybody; I haven't been here for over a week. It seems like a very slow chat day today

1:11 pm

hey Nef

1:11 pm

pida 1

Where ya been Nef, working?

1:12 pm

flosey

Hi Nef, good to see you back

1:12 pm

Nef

Is it that bad of a grid today; or a very easy one?

1:12 pm

bichon

fain

1:13 pm

Nef

I've been at a nursing convention and involved in some environmental stuff and some politics

1:13 pm

jonny

thanx bichon LOL!!!

1:14 pm

Merk

It's a slow day because the grid takes a bit of time. There are many odd words and lots of vowels.

1:14 pm

bichon

big faux pas

1:14 pm

Nef

I've decided to follow in my Grandmothers' footsteps: I'm going to be an election judge this year! :D

1:15 pm

flosey

sounds like a great idea Nef

1:15 pm

Nef

no problem Bichon, I can't do the grid and chat at the same time since I always type things in the wrong boxes! :)

1:16 pm

bichon

faint

1:17 pm

Nef

I never knew what was involved in it before, Flosey. It's quite interesting to find out that I have to do an absentee ballot; learn how the machines work, etc.

1:17 pm

bichon

this is the worst I've don this. I am so sorry and won't do it again.

1:17 pm

flosey

but something very important Nef

1:18 pm

shorty

add an s also bichon LOL

1:18 pm

Nef

just move over to the add word box, bichon. It won't hold too much chat, however! ;)

1:19 pm

pida 1

We can always use the accidental help, Bichon, don't feel bad.

1:20 pm

renfield

flosey

1:26 pm

inge

1:26 pm

Nef

can anyone explain to me why the words tick and tock aren't words here in Babble? I know tick isn't on this grid, but I've been frustarted by it before

1:27 pm

flosey

lol, sure need lots for today

1:27 pm

flosey

tick certainly is a word, rocky mountain tick - can be serious bite

1:28 pm

flosey

actually not a bite so much as they dig into you

1:29 pm

Nef

yeah, or we have wood ticks and deer ticks too. but whenever I've tried to use them here; they don't count

1:29 pm

flosey

strange

1:30 pm

flosey

are you in north west Nef, I'd never heard of them when back in Ontario

1:31 pm

Nef

I'm in good old Minnesota, the deer ticks are a Eastern invasion that cause Limes disease; wood ticks have been here since I was a small child

1:32 pm

flosey

guess I was too close to big city while in Ontario

1:33 pm

flosey

we're forever removing them from the dog here in south/west BC

1:33 pm

Nef

(although I guess my childhood wasn't as long ago as yours now that I've read your bio!) :)

1:34 pm

flosey

lol, quite an old lady here!

1:35 pm

Nef

no, I'm going to be retiring within 6-7 years, so I'm not *that* far behind you! :)

1:37 pm

Nef

Jillibus sets a good example for us, doesn't she?

1:37 pm

flosey

oh indeed she does

1:37 pm

flosey

she's one sharp cookie

1:37 pm

flosey

good bridge player too

1:38 pm

Nef

I've noticed that she's sharp! I enjoy her. I have never learned how to play bridge; so I'll take yor word about how wel she plays that game! :D

1:39 pm

flosey

she's had quite an interesting life from very early years

2:23 pm

tazpink

hhi pida

2:24 pm

kalea

i have used it, but i can't quite get the texture of the batter right..........it doesn't substitute cup for cup, as they claim.........and it's really expensive

pida 1

Hi taz and everyone else on line

2:24 pm

kalea

and hiya right back

2:25 pm

pida 1

I've used it in key lime pie, and carrot cake, I'm not diabetic, but I try to cut down on sugar, all the time

2:26 pm

kalea

2:26 pm

Splenda has a website with different recipes, and they explain the subsitutions necessary

2:26 pm

kalea

hmmmmmmm.......i shall have to check it out

2:26 pm

pida 1

and I usually buy it when I find a coupon. Otherwise, like you said, it's expensive

good afternoon -- I need a clue for the second mi5/12 -- 'assuming' the first is the plural of mi4/5 above it

3:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! : )

3:06 pm

Haz1558

Hello pbr - they are both plurals, one normal (the second) the other latin (the first)

3:06 pm

hetty

There's an ma4/5 I just can't find, between the madness and the male with a pronoun ending

3:07 pm

Haz1558

It's male with another vowel ending.

3:07 pm

pbr

thanks Haz--- 65 more to go. on to the n's

3:09 pm

hetty

Hi Haz! I have every possiblke vowel ening after ma hook--3 of them

3:10 pm

Haz1558

It's ma and the opposite of yes. (between ma5/12 and ma5/14)

3:10 pm

charlotte2

iyaa

3:10 pm

charlotte2

all

3:11 pm

hetty

I have that,Haz.

3:12 pm

Haz1558

That's the only ma4/5 in that position. Is there ma4/5 somewhere else you're missing?

3:15 pm

Haz1558

ma4/5 what the British call the post, the chief or foremost, almost what the Israelites ate in the desert, the horse's hair, the male plus vowel, what sails are hoisted upon.

3:15 pm

hetty

All goes merrily with my ma's unil the madness one. following that I have the ma+ opp of "yes";the male + pronoun; then after what I wear for liuck all goes well again to the end

3:16 pm

hetty

--and I have all the ones you've clued.

3:17 pm

Haz1558

Phone - back shortly.

Haz1558

ma4/9 and ma5/20 - ma plus the universal signal of 'all right' back to front. Then plural.

3:24 pm

hetty

I guess it must be sing & pl shark--but what synonym for shark begins with ma I'll never know

3:24 pm

Heh... maybe, Helen, you're too young to remember his father. In comparison to his father, he's a world-class orator, nearly a rocket scientist. But I mean, he's better *morally* than his dad. His dad was a baaaaaad maaaaan.

3:47 pm

3:49 pm

helenkeller

ankh - hmmm, i am 2 years older than you & i have the opposite opinion, his dad was a man who got things done - maybe not equaly fairly for everyone, but he was mayor during periods of greater social change & ensuing turmoil than now

3:49 pm

Well, that's why *I* come to babble -- it's not for the grids. So sure, Cherry.

Helen & I have made truce, because we have to disagree: I don't think the "city that worked" worked for anyone but certain races & incomes. But for all that I disliked the man, he didn't cheat on his wife. Really, he didn't.

4:02 pm

Ankhorite

Helen, I'm sorry to disagree again -- he wasn't a good mayor for *all* the people who worked & paid taxes -- there were neighborhoods where the plows didn't go. He was a terrible *young* man, used to foment race riots with his "Hamburg Club" as a 20-something. He could have behaved better than he did; he went out of his way to keep certain neighborhoods down.

4:02 pm

pida 1

OK, how's the weather in your area????.........

4:02 pm

helenkeller

purl - again, i gotta say, i think the elder daley was interested in actaully managing his city - that's why the title "boss" - he always lived in the same bungalow in bridgeport, he didn't drive a big fancy car & he didn't flaunt any wealth that may have crossed his greased palm - i think the comparison to sadam is outrageously unfair

4:10 pm

harpjane

culinary question--if you are making cinnamon rolls, and discover that you have added WAY to much sugar to the dough--do you 1. add more flour, 2. do nothing and thank your lucky stars that as long as you are eating sweets, they are going to be REALLY sweet, or 3. something else?

4:10 pm

Ankhorite

LOL, AngB, that's a good one... veni vidi one; but I think the Pearl Harbor fellows would have had a "z" if they had crash-landed their planes...?

4:10 pm

I like #2, Jane, unless you can double the other ingredients too.

4:11 pm

4:49 pm

Ankhorite

Charlotte -- go to "my account" and add your country to get a little flag next to your name. That is free. A picture next to your name means you pay about $15 to be "pro"

4:49 pm

hetty

Thanks, Chris. Why didn't I think of that? Now allI need is one little un4/6

4:49 pm

Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.
