My beloved censors still will not let me get Lickety's list, but I can now get Angelsong's sometimes so I am so glad that one is posted quickly. At home I like Lickety's because I can type the words right on to it.

Hugabugs

Got all my i's already Sprite, thanks

1:59 am

joey

has anyone else looked at the rankings tonight? i dropped 33 points from yesterday even though i finished all the grids for a while.

1:59 am

sprite

let me check

2:02 am

sprite

never try the rankings when it is time for the 9.00 am hiccup. I did not see anything strange there, joey.

2:03 am

mkl

Is there a common suffix that extends these words. I'm not seeing it. And I'm close to pulling a Jack Bauer

2:03 am

joey

it still looks strange to me. i refreshed and looked again - the highest is 1028. oh, well.

2:04 am

Hugabugs

I've dropped 34 from yesterday joey

2:05 am

sprite

you mean on the who's hot side? I am pretty low there as well - don't know if that is new or not, though.

2:05 am

sprite

fireworks - very nice grid.

2:05 am

Hugabugs

mkt..there's a common prefix for the f

2:05 am

mkl

I only have 46 left, but I still have eleven 7's seven 8's and all three 9's. Just not seeing them.

2:05 am

annotherone

congrats sprite!!

2:05 am

joey

so, I am not totally nuts. yes, on the who's hot list. maybe tomorrow. done also, fireworks. congrats sprite

2:05 am

Hugabugs

congrats sprite

2:06 am

annotherone

can't see me getting fireworks today - been a long time in fact since I finished a grid

2:06 am

joey

good night and good luck all.

2:06 am

mkl

You're right joey. I dropped from 1029 to 991 and I finished yesterdays puzzle.

2:06 am

sprite

hey mkl! No, not really a common suffix.
Wtg joey.

2:06 am

joey

glad to get the validation that I am not truly nuts. thanks

2:07 am

mkl

Awe now Sprite. That's just mean. :-)

2:07 am

mkl

Can someone clue ANY of the nines?

2:08 am

sprite

Let me see... the Fo biggies have a common suffix, the in ones too, and there is one Re biggie with Re as 'again'.

2:08 am

mkl

Never mind. It's not in the cards for me right now. I'll try tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

2:08 am

sprite

so... no clues, mkl?

2:09 am

mkl

Welllllllll. Maybe if your really WANT to clue the fo's. I wouldn't want to offend you by saying no.

2:09 am

sprite

mkl said a wooooooord!

2:09 am

mkl

I have the first two fo's.

2:10 am

mkl

Crap. Haven't done that in a long time

2:10 am

sprite

Ok... the combo fo 8/9 is in the morning.

2:10 am

jillibus

hello (late flip)

2:11 am

sprite

hey jilli *hug*

2:11 am

jillibus

nice useful clues are popping up -- thanks!

2:12 am

mkl

That was a great clue and it still took me forever. My heads not in it tonight. Can you clue the first fo9? Then I'm off to bed.

2:13 am

sprite

first Fo9 is same prefix + first part of something

2:14 am

mkl

Thanks Sprite. That finished my fo's. Good luck everyone

2:14 am

sprite

night mkl, you're very welcome ;)

2:15 am

sprite

there is a very hot in7/8 combo too

2:17 am

jillibus

I'm listening, sprite.......

2:17 am

sprite

and the in9 starts the same as the hell like one, only it means deriving the strict logical consequences of assumed premises.

2:18 am

jillibus

hey, greeat! Thanks

2:19 am

sprite

final clue before I have to run: there is this strangelooking fe5/28, a piece of land held under the feudal system.
From that word build a F7/8 combo, an En7 and an in7.

2:20 am

sprite

yw, jilli! Good luck and have fun, it is a nice grid today. *hugs*

Anne38

3:42 am

lynxxx

3:42 am

Anne38

oggy you are a smarty pance

3:42 am

Andree

61 here

3:43 am

Haz1558

And I have 62 left. Do I get special consideration because it's frosty?

3:43 am

Andree

about 30 degrees here today but a lovely cool evening

3:43 am

Anne38

your right there lynxxx

3:44 am

Andree

first fe5/16 please

3:44 am

Anne38

come to oz haz then you will warm up

3:45 am

Haz1558

The first one I have looks like a swoon but is a dodging move

3:45 am

Haz1558

With those temperatures I'd be the red-faced sweaty woman in the house with her feet in cold water!!

3:46 am

Anne38

thats how we all look like

3:46 am

Haz1558

So I'd fit right in?

3:46 am

lynxxx

You've seen me Haz! you forgot the sarong though

3:46 am

oggy

its great in oz haz.

3:48 am

Andree

thx haz, looking in wrong direction

3:48 am

Anne38

oggy will be here this time next year so hope she will get a taste of this too

3:48 am

Haz1558

I'm sure it is. There seems to be a regular number of young (and older) people visiting Australia, and they all return with great praise for the country.

3:49 am

Anne38

i have been here 36 years

3:49 am

Haz1558

Although the England cricketers might be less enthusiastic....

3:49 am

FranMag

hi babblers!

3:50 am

Andree

hi fran

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning Fran.

3:50 am

FranMag

hi andree! hi haz!

3:50 am

Anne38

i think they hate us

3:50 am

lynxxx

Hi Fran. looking very healthy today

3:50 am

Andree

I have very much enjoyed my trips to UK haz everyplace has its moments

3:50 am

FranMag

hi lynxxx! thanks. :-)

3:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, I reckon most countries have a lot to offer - very often living somewhere makes you blind to its virtues and too conscious of its downfalls.

3:52 am

Anne38

you are right haz

3:53 am

Andree

my father took my greek mother back to Scotland after the war and I would probably still be there but she could not stand the cold

3:54 am

Haz1558

Whereabouts in Scotland was he from?

3:55 am

Andree

Dundee and went to uni in Edinborough

3:55 am

Anne38

yes i went to scotland in summer and froze

3:55 am

Haz1558

I went to uni in Edinburgh as well - met my husband there and now my daughter is studying there. It has a brisk east wind!

3:56 am

oggy

mum, have to go and get ready for work, speak to u soon, bye all bbl

3:56 am

FranMag

bye oggy!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Bye oggy.

3:56 am

Andree

sorry about the spelling haz, my dad would turn in his grave

3:57 am

Anne38

bye babe love ya

3:57 am

Haz1558

I'll forgive you, Andree - your spelling is usually pretty good!

3:58 am

Andree

dad was an english and history teacher and we were pulled up short if we could not spell

4:00 am

Haz1558

He sounds like my kind of man. I'm getting worse as I get older and have been known to deface notices. Chalked blackboards are great outside shops, you can rub out redundant apostrophes without attracting too much attention.

4:01 am

Andree

dad would phone the abc[bbc to you] if they made a grammatical error

4:01 am

lynxxx

LOL Haz - thats very funny.

4:03 am

Haz1558

I drove behind a van one day. It proclaimed that the owner could fix drafty windows. I refrained from crashing into him, but it was tough.

4:03 am

Andree

I have never done that haz but sure have felt like it sometimes

4:03 am

FranMag

i just found a 9 all by myself!

4:04 am

Andree

yay fran

4:04 am

lynxxx

what a pity they don't have proof readers anymore - you'd be a whiz

4:05 am

Haz1558

I would probably enjoy proof reading in theory, but the thought of the amount of rubbish you would have to read would put me off.

4:05 am

Angb

Yay Fran - and so have I just now. Thanks for sending the vibe!

4:06 am

FranMag

no problem angb! :-)

4:06 am

Haz1558

My sister works in the admissions office of Queen's University in Belfast - one prospective student wrote that she had a real flare for languages. Also that language was an art and that she wanted to be one of it's artists.

4:06 am

Angb

Must be the healthy veges

4:07 am

Andree

4:13 am

4:14 am

lynxxx

I think Morewords is broken Andree.

4:14 am

Odin

I've just begun and it won't take but a few minutes and I too will be struggling...but that's part of our insane addication to this isn't it?

4:15 am

Andree

I will be asking for a lot of clues then lynxxx, usually use it

4:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, Odin, we keep coming back for more.

4:15 am

Odin

Mom's home now and doing much better Haz. Iwe had the Doctor give her something for her Alzheimers without her realizing and maybe, just maybe it will help.

4:15 am

Andree

4:16 am

lynxxx

BBL dinner to organise

4:16 am

Haz1558

4:16 am

Andree

By the way, be sure to get bunnyvicious to look at the rankings when she comes on later. Something strange has happened in that people with previously perfect scores on who's hot have dropped 30 points and more. Bunny sits triumpantly at the top of the list.

9:40 am

Congratulations Angel*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

9:41 am

CyborgScrabbler

Haz, yes I saw that, thought it was just me lol

9:41 am

Haz1558

Those who take the rankings seriously are going to be miffed!

9:42 am

CyborgScrabbler

Haz, maybe it has something to do with missing some over Christmas?

9:43 am

Anniebrook

thank goodness I dont take the rankings seriously or even look at them...I just enjoy babbling away

9:43 am

Haz1558

I don't think so - there are babblers who would rather die than not finish, never mind letting a little turkey get in the way. There's been some computer glitch, but I would just love to see bunny's face.

9:43 am

Anniebrook

When I finish a grid I literally jump for joy

9:43 am

Haz1558

We'll tell her it's a reward for giving up smoking.

9:44 am

hahaha I just looked at the rankings and yep there well be Babblers crying

9:44 am

Faerie

I'm all better :)

9:44 am

Haz1558

It's kind of topsy-turvy looking, isn't it? I thought it was really funny.

9:45 am

Faerie

Haz it is - it made me laugh

9:45 am

Haz1558

Somebody had mentioned it in the chat log earlier when I was trawling for clues.

9:46 am

Faerie

Congratulations Cyborg *~*~*~*~*~* sorry for the delayed Fireworks

9:46 am

musicmom

that is funny about the rankings. Life getting in the way of babble made me quit worrying about it. There for a while I was quite obsessive about having to finish. Now i just play for fun.

9:47 am

Minty106

fe 6/30 (second one) pls?

9:47 am

musicmom

I still love to finish for fireworks. I'm surprised that I'm still in the who's hot list. I only play a couple times a week now.

9:47 am

raelite

some people just have to be number one though...

9:47 am

Faerie

Me too Music ... I rarely look at the ranking now unless I'm looking for someone's email address

9:47 am

Faerie

Hi Raelite

9:47 am

Anniebrook

Just looked at the rankings...yes, there will be those who will be miffed but hooray for bunny, no cigs, rankings go up!

9:47 am

raelite

hey faerie

9:48 am

musicmom

I can be guilty of that rae - I have quite a competitive streak

9:48 am

raelite

but this is not something that requires competitiveness...

9:48 am

raelite

is it?

9:48 am

Faerie

I love finishing but if I don't I certainly don't lose any sleep over it

9:48 am

Haz1558

fe6/30 - same as the fe7/27 that follows it (structured like the dog house, flavouring for food) but it ends in a different consonant.

9:48 am

Faerie

over not finishing that is

9:49 am

raelite

I think you have to choose your battles...and babble isn't worth it

9:49 am

raelite

I use it primarily to hone my wordsmithing skills

9:49 am

Minty106

Duh. Ty Haz, I had that one, can't see any more

9:50 am

Faerie

agreed Raelite

9:50 am

musicmom

No it really doesn't require competitiveness. When I was obsessive about the rankings it was personal challenge now against anyone else. " I had to break 1000" type thinking.

9:50 am

Haz1558

The first one is the swordsman/boundary worker

9:50 am

raelite

I can do the jumble in less than 20 seconds now!

9:50 am

Haz1558

fe6/30 that is (the first)

9:51 am

musicmom

AHA! I thought the pre - herb one was the first. Now I have them both.

9:51 am

musicmom

Thanks

9:52 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:52 am

raelite

I guess it comes down to personality...like you wrote, musicmom

9:52 am

musicmom

yep it does. Though I was really missing babble so I decided to not even look at the rankings and just play as much as I can each day.

9:53 am

Minty106

I wish I had a refresh button. Going to walk in the rain instead.

9:53 am

musicmom

Some days I choose not to play because I can't leave it alone once I start.

9:53 am

Faerie

Later Minty :)

9:53 am
