12:17 am

FranMag

yup, bad teacher!

12:17 am

melonheadjujube

no kidding. fortunately i had many good teachers & parents who stood up for me. It's thanks to my 8th grade music teacher that i took up the bass and became a professional musician.

12:18 am

Ankhorite

Terrible teacher. Mom gave me a chart of bones in the human body; my 6th grade teacher was offended! Creep.

12:18 am

Takuma Sato

oh come on. if a kid came into my class with a bunch of shells with labels, I'd call it inappropriate

yeah, they're all great, but Metal's is the cooooolest.

12:44 am

Ankhorite

12:44 am

Douglas

Stalin is from the Russian word for this word...

12:44 am

jillibus

metal's was a group choice

12:45 am

Douglas

Face it, if your name was Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, you might change your name to Stalin too...

12:45 am

helenkeller

melon - you rock!

12:45 am

Ankhorite

Stalingrad?? Hmm. No.

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

th8/9 is not quite the spiky Scot flower, not quite what you open up on the open road. If you have th6/21 you know its afterward, alphabetically.

12:45 am

jillibus

I got the Stalin thing -- thanks, doug

12:46 am

Takuma Sato

hi all

12:52 am

helenkeller

hi kangabrat - great pic!

12:53 am

Ankhorite

Melon said, th8, not quite the spiny scots flower (which is purple, if that helps) and not quite what you let out when you're driving realllllly fast. I would say it sounds like a verb you'd need to write pornography, but that wouldn't help much.

12:53 am

Crone

hey all - how many words please?

12:53 am

Not a vowel

Has the ap7/8 been said yet?

1:00 am

jillibus

th8/9 -- told you it was a brit bird -- "British (chiefly Literary). the song thrush."

1:00 am

Ankhorite

Okay, Ramix. Rockets take off with lots of th_ _ _ _ (but change the vowel) and a person who cons you at billiards is perpetrating a hust_ _

1:00 am

brandyjack

the th7 starts off like the engine speed control and ends like the scottish spiny flower (blue-bell and bull are some).

1:01 am

Ankhorite

Huga, it's a religious term. For a very prestigous position.

1:01 am

Hugabugs

Ankh.. I have it, thanks

1:15 am

jillibus

kier, surely you got sh4/5

1:15 am

kangabrat

dang, can't see the adult lit. word!

1:16 am

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

ARB... still not finding your clue

1:25 am

ARB

ad 6/24 is a plural of ad 5/14

1:25 am

kkiln

volley-- only one of those ad's is in a position where you can add a plural.

1:26 am

kangabrat

it's a mid-life crisis, career/life move for me.

1:26 am

kierlex

marpocky, i have a friend who got her math ph.d. at MSU a few years ago...

1:26 am

marpocky

i had no idea until today that the ad5/14 was pluralizable

1:26 am

kierlex

so is it safe to say that babblers enjoy their caffeine and assorted stimulants?

1:26 am

marpocky

ramix

i have ad5/12, not 5/14

1:28 am

kkiln

I doubt that ad 5/14 in any other dictionary could have a plural...it is usually a noun or an adjective.

1:28 am

ARB

there are 2 ad 5/14 words, Ramix

1:29 am

kierlex

i have no ad words..., are they real words=)

1:29 am

It ends with abbreviation for saint or street.

4:07 am

kangabrat

mmm, but still only 4 letters? or am I being particularly silly...

4:07 am

Haz1558

Just add a consonant to the middle of the ha4/5.

4:08 am

kangabrat

yep, very silly... thx haz!

4:08 am

kthdsn

thanks haz

4:10 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

By the way, does anyone know how to tell the difference between a st5/10 and a weasel?

Kate - is the de8 a compound?

4:38 am

Haz1558

It means to lessen, lynxxx - or take the creases out of a kilt......

4:38 am

Haz1558

Not the right spelling, though!

4:38 am

FMitch

de8/50 is pl of the de7/36 no compounds

4:41 am

Haz1558

I'm an enthusiastic ironer and managed to ruin my daughter's crinkle-effect shirt......

4:43 am

lynxxx

I have that problem too - I don't know when to stop with those garments. ususally twist & scrunch after I've ironed

4:44 am

kangabrat

ummm, guys... walk away from the iron... slowly

4:45 am

Haz1558

I'm glad I'm not the only one! She has learned to point out which are to be treated differently.

4:47 am

kangabrat

i've stopped ironing, so i can babble

4:47 am

lynxxx

thats an odd one rh4.5

4:49 am

I normally associate the rh4/5 with Miss Perlmann, so it's a surprise to find another.

11:40 am

periwinkle

Stid, have you cooked or baked anything good in the past few days

11:40 am

stidmama

only when I can afford it riemann -- it costs more than 150 to have him sedated and boarded while he recovers

11:41 am

stidmama

not since I hurt my foot tuesday morning. It hurt too much to stand

11:41 am

periwinkle

NM have all the 8's now

11:44 am

caitlyn

Morning klaurel

11:44 am

stidmama

magzel -- the thing inside your neck (first four letters) + last four letters of the disciple, then plural for the 9

11:44 am

Strider

Also, the th 8 is a speed lever on a boat, but you have to change one of the double consonants to an s

11:44 am

shorty

its very easy to clip there nails!

11:44 am

stidmama

hello klaurel

11:44 am

Jacula

I know, movieman. I tried it, too.

11:45 am

shorty

im about to clip my dogs nails

11:46 am

em12

strider ..... thanks i was struggling cheers..

11:46 am

shorty

so here I go since no ones paying attention to me

11:46 am

magzel

thanks guys, i finally got it

11:46 am

stidmama

it is NOT easy to clip the nails of a 80 lb German Shepherd who was badly traumatized by a previous owner and goes ballistic even when on a triple dose of Xanax! NO -- he MUST be completely sedated and unconscious to trim his nails, check his ears and do other maintenance. I have trimmed many critters' nails, but after a year and a half he still won't let me anywhere near his feet.

11:46 am

Jacula

I always used to clip my dog's nails. I do the rabbits abd guinea pigs nails, and my neighbour's rabbit's nails. It's easier if they have white nails so you can see where the 'quick' is, but you soon learn.

11:47 am

caitlyn

Go for it shorty

11:47 am

magzel

poat

11:47 am

Jacula

Shorty - I was replying to you as well as to stid.

11:47 am

shorty

lol

11:47 am

caitlyn

magzel have you got my icon clue?

11:47 am

Jacula

Ah, stid. That's a different matter then. Maybe he'lll trust you in time.

11:48 am

stidmama

I am hoping... he is finally letting me rub his face when I am petting him.

11:48 am

riemann

Trust me, Stid's dog has a VERY narrow "comfort" zone!

11:48 am

Buttonman

thanks stid, i got the th 8 & 9

11:48 am

shorty

oh no was he mistreated

11:48 am

Jacula

I have to get off and make dinner. BBL.

11:48 am

stidmama

It took days before Lucky would think of me as anything other than the Devil incarnate.

11:49 am

wurdygurl

someone who ents an apartment

11:49 am

caitlyn

stid I admire you for doing sowell with your dog,to many people would have given up on him..wel done

11:49 am

stidmama

apparently so, shorty -- the only males he doesn't freak out with are the ones who live with me, my father and riemann -- though riemann has to go through a lovely ritual each time he visits...

11:50 am

stidmama

actually, Lucky wasn't far off on his initial assessment of riemann *ducks evil glare*

11:50 am

shorty

people like that need to be treated the same way or shot

11:50 am

caitlyn

* and my typing and spelling are rubbish today*

11:51 am

riemann

That's OK, Stid. I get that from college freshmen all the time. *poke*

11:51 am

Buttonman

i need a clue for the le 6 please

11:51 am

stidmama

hard to know who did it shorty, we rescued him from the horse farm, no idea how many were between those people and the breeders, no one at the horse farm would treat an animal that badly.

11:51 am

wurdygurl

someone who rents an apartment buttonman

8:10 pm

ChefSharon

Sorry, first-timer.

8:11 pm

lbdawger

No harm no foul, just thought I'd let you know. it happens, and we all have done it. so expect to get a lot of harrassment when it does. :-)

8:11 pm

G'd evening ChefSharon

ChefSharon

I don't quite get some of the counts, so I'm muddling my way through. Like what th5/15 is , that sort of thing...Hi LoriP!

8:15 pm

jillibus

th5/15 means the word starts with th, has 5 letters, and the score adds up to 15. 5-letter words double the scores on the tiles. How about scrolling down to Friends of Babble and checking out Angelsong's helpful pages?

8:15 pm

lbdawger

Chef, a lot of us use Lickety's list, link found at the bottom of the page.

8:26 pm

Scrabbler

8:26 pm

stidmama

gluttony would be easy if you came to our house! LOL

8:26 pm

9:18 pm

lbdawger

9:19 pm

lbdawger

night lori

9:19 pm

smooth_pappa

hehe... if you could see the full siz ones, you'd see ha;f eaten burger, spilled spices, coffee grounds, chips. lol

9:20 pm

lbdawger

i think the b/w are most dramatic, except the model looks like she has a mustache.

9:20 pm

smooth_pappa

for those I was trying to portray someone who was so lazy she would pay no attention to the obviously dangerously unsanitay conditions... someone who was too lazy to take care of herself, and wallowed in the filfth

9:21 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, her lipstick made that effect. lol

9:21 pm

smooth_pappa

for the pride, I was trying to portray someone who spent her time in a mirror, reveling in her own "beauty" that had transformerd her into an ugly over the top diva.

9:22 pm

lbdawger

she is lovely...sans the overdone make up.

9:23 pm

smooth_pappa

oh she really is... without all that, she is really a beautiful girl! and we hit it off great... hopefully we'll be able to work more in the future together

9:23 pm

stidmama

I agree, lbd -- pretty if she wants to be. pappa -- it's weird... but it's good.

9:23 pm

lbdawger

i think the pride ones continue with the sloth or maybe towards lust. I don't see pride in it.

9:24 pm

smooth_pappa

and like I said, I had approached 2 other people to do the sloth... they both thought it was a great idea, but wouldn't let me make them look so destitute... she really was easy to work with

9:24 pm

stidmama

there's something related to pride, called "vainglory" that is what they reminded me of.

9:24 pm

NonnieLight

I like the b&w of her leaning over the sink--I think it was. Nicely done! Also, your website is beautiful! Fall Verona--my fav.

9:24 pm

smooth_pappa

interesting take on that dawg... thanks for the feedback!

9:24 pm

kristinc

10:00 pm

kristinc

I made it until about 30 and then grabbed the list...made the last bit go a lot faster :)

10:00 pm

swviola

No problem, smooth!! I also dug the still life of the cello, really nice stuff! Do you work for any publications??

10:01 pm

helenkeller

i'm at 44 now - found like 5 more right after i said that

10:01 pm

smooth_pappa

Actualy, viola, that was a standup bass. ;) I don't work for any publications, but if you know of any I'm always interested. lol

10:04 pm

swviola

so it was a bass! The bridge looked small...oops! :-)

10:05 pm

smooth_pappa

it was the macro setting I was using. you're not the first musician to make that mistake.. but it stands about 5 feet 7 or 8 inchs.. and a loooow tone... So, I'm sure its a bass... lol although after one on\ther musician questioned me, I wasn't so sure. lol

10:07 pm

swviola

dude, I believe you!! regardless, it was a stunning picture and after people asking me if my viola is a violin all the time, I can understand the bass' sentiment at the mistake! ;-)

10:07 pm

phandmd

1st po 5/12 pls

10:07 pm

smooth_pappa

hehe

10:08 pm

smooth_pappa

10:12 pm

swviola

great job Ang! Smooth...I had to learn the bass for my job and the funny thing is I prefered to play it over the cello! The bass guitar looks like a lot of fun...I just really want to learn it so I can have a life soundtrack similar to that of Jerry Seinfeld, complete with slap bass licks! lol

10:12 pm

11:46 pm

VolleymomDee

Absolutely! I can't believe they used a vampiress as a super hero; that was icky.
