12:50 am

FranMag

favorite historical figure angb

12:51 am

jillibus

love your choice of Eleanor Rossevelt, flosey -- she addressed us at McGill at a convocation -- what an inspiring person

12:51 am

kierlex

for example, i historically favor keanu's figure

12:51 am

Angb

Whoa - that could be hard

12:51 am

marpocky

where does one find the theme? i saw earlier babbler had it in his info

12:51 am

jillibus

Roosevelt (too tired tonight)

12:51 am

helenkeller

kier - you crack me up!

12:51 am

flosey

oh how I would love to have heard her speak in person

12:52 am

FranMag

marpocky, "her" info, different babbler

12:52 am

helenkeller

marp - yes - babbler keeps track of the icon themes, you can also email her with your own suggestions

12:52 am

FranMag

there's a link on the right side of lickety's clue pag

12:52 am

FranMag

hk and jilli, great icons as usual

12:53 am

marpocky

oh right. her. sorry.

12:53 am

helenkeller

jili heard elanor roosevelt give a speech - the closest i got to her was once working at roosevelt high school here in chicago

12:53 am

kierlex

ya'll are so creative. i can't decide on a favorite so i went with my standby.

12:53 am

FranMag

dumb di6, i've never seen this spelling, but i guess i shouldn't be surprised.

12:54 am

jillibus

Marpocky -- you can get the Icon Themes from Lickety's page (on the right) or if you put Babbler in My Friends you can look it up easily. BTW, Babbler is a she, Lickety is a he and MrPresident is a she. :D

12:54 am

helenkeller

ty fran - & yours informative as always

12:54 am

marpocky

thanks jilli! and others

12:54 am

helenkeller

kier - you're so funny! yeah, i hear ya, i have trouble picking a 'favorite' too, but this is one i really, really like

12:55 am

jillibus

Helen -- I love M. Faberge -- as I said, there are so many great historical figures it's so hard to choose just one

12:55 am

FranMag

okay, i looked up the di6 and it makes sense now.

12:56 am

Angb

Up dated my icon

12:56 am

Jilli - I would have to have a kiwi. But copernicus is a great choice - turned the world upside down LOL

12:59 am

FranMag

night nan!

12:59 am

Angb

Nan why did you chose handel?

12:59 am

helenkeller

fran - when we had a litter of puppies, i named one of them magellen, cause i could never find him, he was always 'exploring' something in the basement (like under the couch or behind the bookshelf)

1:00 am

jillibus

nan -- you still haven't said who your choice is -- or did I miss it?

1:00 am

FranMag

FranMag

1:00 am

jillibus

Thanks, Fran -- I wonder why

1:00 am

kierlex

helen, that's cute about the puppy named magellan. we named a little kitten 'clark' for the same reason (after lewis & clark)

1:01 am

FranMag

i sure hope he wasn't killed by the Filipinos too.

1:01 am

kierlex

i can use my keanu icon tomorrow =) and i mean use in only the most G-rated sense

1:01 am

helenkeller

lol kier

1:02 am

jillibus

Helen -- one of our Dane litteres contained a pup who kept leaping off things and we called him Evel (Knievel) -- his new owners didn't understand and didn' t like thename.

helenkeller

1:03 am

FranMag

1:42 am

1:45 am

kierlex

ahh, thanks for the alternate spelling sprite, i only had the other spelling

1:45 am

sprite

da7 is the 'normal' spelling, by the way.

1:59 am

Angb

Me too kier. I spend 1/2 hour each day at flip trying to ignore the clues hoping that I will get the odd 8 or 9.

2:00 am

kierlex

2:02 am

Angb

OK where are my words going?

2:03 am

2:03 am

kierlex

alright chiquitas and mr. chiquitas, i am going to bed now (1.5 hrs earlier than my usual 130 am!)

7:00 am

Scrabbler

There sure are a lot of words with the "ing" suffix--perhaps to honor our 3 Inge's

7:01 am

P.J.

oops 2nd graders in reading because he has a 4th grade reading levle,he is also a second grader!

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Is he even the least bit challenged academically at school? I worry about the bright, gifted kids getting the "special education" that they need but don't often get in schools because of budget constraints or teachers that don't know what to do with these kids.

7:04 am

P.J.

at times but he works well with it and he is still alittle boy and he acts like one.

7:06 am

P.J.

gotta go now................bye all

7:06 am

Dorens

you're right scrabbler... as a guidance counselor and former teacher, our schools don't really handle the extremely gifted students well. My son (the author) survived it, but he certainly presented a problem to his teachers

7:06 am

Haz1558

Bye hodag.

7:06 am

Scrabbler

I have many patients that are very very bright, and the tough part is that disconnect between their intellect and their emotional/social development. I have a little guy, age 4, reading at a 3rd grade level, but he is struggling socially

7:07 am

Dorens

and all he wanted to do was learn.... but when it came to science and stuff--- he often knew more than they did. and yes, they will struggle socially.... we are lucky that he turned out as he did. bye hodag

7:08 am

Dorens

actually... bye everyone... I need to get to school myself! have fun

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Hi Doren--I had similar experiences, and I am a fierce advocate for these kids and parents, and push the parents to be advocates. It really is the other end of the spectrum with "special education" and these bright kid are often neglected, to the detriment of them and society

10:06 am

Haz1558

10:06 am

I'll let you know just as soon as.........lol

10:06 am

hurshy

10:06 am

10:06 am

sugar

please share, hurshy

10:07 am

Haz1558

The one I mean comes after the da4/6. It's da plus a verb form of 'to be'

10:07 am

hurshy

10:07 am

Buttonman

bunnyvicious

Hursh, yes

10:08 am

sugar

yes, hurshy

10:08 am

Haz1558

Okay, Buttonman. Now think of a word that means a stiff walk through the countryside. It rhymes with a type of fish and a two-wheeled mode of transport. Add it to the da4/5, BUT change the final vowel for another one.

10:09 am

hurshy

rats.

8:47 pm

Jacula

Good evening all. Today's grid is a 'gerund grid'. Here's a clue story: Had to wa4/9 the cat (or maybe the kh4/9?) today. He arrived home covered in sh4/5, like he'd been wa6/39 in mud. He tried to sn5/18 past me and was sw8/75 his claws as I tried to clean him. So, deciding it was a 2-man job, I wa6/33 for Paul to come home from work. My icon shows Paul wa7/56 the cat, whose eyes are wi4/9. He's obviously wi7/56 he hadn't fallen into the muddy pond (or whatever it was) and ha6/27 the water and pretty te4/5 off!

8:47 pm

lbdawger

Abe, does your honey like the outdoors, hiking and camping and roughing it?

8:49 pm

sh8 is probably what my cat did up a tree or fence and then the 80mph winds blew him down into the mid.

8:57 pm

9:18 pm

Jacula

abe - Oh, I see. I tried those on-line jigsaws. I prefer to do real ones though. I like the funny Jan Van Haasteren puzzles best and WASGIJ? puzzles (where the pic on the box shows the people who are seeing something, but the puzzle is what they are seeing and so not pictured on the box).

kristinc

9:21 pm

swviola

9:21 pm

Jacula

kristin - Not as hard as the 'plate of baked beans' puzzle. I've never completed that one. I bought it for a friend years ago and she retaliated by putting it into the caravan I used to rent from her for holidays.

9:21 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah minski

9:21 pm

Minski

9:24 pm

Jacula

Hursh - I've just bought myself that big board with opening flaps to hold your sorted jigsaw pieces. It was about Â£70 originally, but was being offered for about Â£20 plus 4 free jigsaws just before Xmas. So I bought it. It's not worth the original price!

9:24 pm

abe79

te + vowel + freudian self

9:25 pm

hurshy

my dad's done all sorts of crazy ones. all red, non-smooth edges... if you really are into puzzles in a major way you might want to look into getting a Stave puzzle. they're hand carved wooden jigsaw puzzles. very expensive but very cool.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Has anyone tried any of those 3D jigsaws?

9:25 pm

hurshy

yeah, they're really not that hard jac

9:33 pm

kristinc

9:33 pm

kristinc

I hate those tapeworm words! I can never remember them :( (okay...done whining)

9:34 pm

Jacula

Kristinc - That's Paul wa7/56 the cat. My arms aren't THAT hairy!

9:34 pm

9:52 pm

Angb

Kristin What I can't get over are the time differences in the USA - one country

9:53 pm

Jacula

Ang - No. Had lots of disturbed nights due to very frequent hot flushes (flashes). Slep about 12 hours straight last night by virtue of consuming a whole bottle of wine. Not tired now. Anyway, Other Half went to bed at about 8:45pm with a headache. He has to be up soon, and it's his birthday. Didn't want to disturb him, but would like to greet him when he gets up.

9:53 pm

kristinc

ang...and then we have this wonderful thing called daylight savings time where some of us are an hour ahead/behind even more than normal depending on winter/summer and then some states choose not to recognize it...it's a royal mess! :)

9:54 pm

smooth_pappa

what amazes me ang, are two things: the number of time zones in Russia, and the fact that China has only 1 time zone. lol

9:54 pm

Angb

That's right I remember now. LOL life gets rather disorganised during these times. Gone are those normal sleeping patterns

9:54 pm

Angb

How many time zones in Russia?

9:55 pm

smooth_pappa

11 ang... the continental US has only 4

9:55 pm

Angb

The Chinese do nothing for comfort so it doesn't surprise me.

9:55 pm

Jacula

I have a time zone map somewhere in my Babble icons file.

9:55 pm

Angb

11!!!! That is amazing -

9:55 pm

smooth_pappa

Angb

9:56 pm

Ping

9:56 pm

smooth_pappa

I spent 3 months in russia, ang... amazing country

9:57 pm

Angb

They should add the local time with the babble time that would be interesting (and probably confusing)

9:57 pm

Angb

What were you doing there smooth - vacation or work?

9:57 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, time is running short, and I am running in circles. Can anyone please help me with the da8, 9 and the de8 please? Thanks. :)

9:57 pm

smooth_pappa

okay, still working on the 7/52...I will keep trying...thanks

10:01 pm

Angb

OK da 8/70 - platform + to going tramping but change last vowel to the next one

10:01 pm

Angb

Then for the da 7/52 leave out the second vowel in the 8

10:02 pm

Jacula

For anyone else who hasn't got the ri5 yet - think Beatles' Indian guru, the Mahari*** Yogi.

10:02 pm

JeeWhiz

thanks Ang...I will work on it....

10:02 pm

Angb

Odd words Jee

10:03 pm

JeeWhiz

thanks Jacula

10:03 pm

Angb

Thnx Jac - have saved the map to file.

10:03 pm

JeeWhiz

glad to hear they are odd Ang...otherwise they would jump out better for me.

10:04 pm

kristinc

I'm not getting those da clues I hate to confess

10:04 pm

Jacula

Hope you can make some sense of the map, Ang.

10:04 pm

kristinc

I have the platform word

10:04 pm

Marc Freeman

Good evening anyone have a clue for da8/70?

10:05 pm

Angb

Have you the ti 4/8?

10:05 pm

Angb

Kris that was for you?

10:05 pm

Jacula

da8/70 and 7/52 are alternative spellings for a colourful over garment worn by African men.

10:05 pm

JeeWhiz

found the da7 and 8, working on the nine, assuming it is plural

10:05 pm

Angb

Marc it has been clued

10:05 pm

JeeWhiz

it's not plural, is it?

10:05 pm

kristinc

yes, I have the ti4/8

10:06 pm

kristinc

okay...got it!

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Good evening all!

10:06 pm

Angb

platform + ti 4/8 change but change the first letter to the 8th letter in alpha

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Jee - the nine is a gerund form

10:06 pm

Jacula

da8/70 = da** (a platform for a speaker or a coffin) + a serious walking trip with a personal pronoun vowel at the end rather than an 'e'..

10:07 pm

kristinc

thanks foks!

10:07 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks Jacula got the 7 and am looking for the 8.

10:07 pm

kristinc

hey stranger gw! :)

10:07 pm

Angb

Hi woulf

10:07 pm

Jacula

Hi wolfie!

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

not so much a stranger (most folks think I am strange enough ;D ) as a victim of the same cold that has been hitting lots of others

10:08 pm

Jacula

marc - a hint for the 8. da + 'exists' is the start.

10:09 pm

JeeWhiz

Hi Grey! I am glad to see you again! Working on the gerund...doesn't seem to be flowing yet.

10:09 pm

kristinc

I'm the evening stranger...been more on during the day so it's been awhile :)

10:09 pm

Jacula

Oh:(( You've had that nasty bug too, then Wolfie? Have the kids been free of it?

10:10 pm

doxy1lover

last 2. DE5,6 before the de+memo

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

This cold was a nasty one -- I never had a fever but it sapped my energy to the point that I lost almost an entire week from work

And to make it worse, the whole family got it at the same time!

10:11 pm

JeeWhiz

oh, guess I am not finding da9 because there isn't one. Back to work on the de words.

10:11 pm

Angb

I will de 5/16 to give you a clue, but only if you ask politely

10:11 pm

Angb

It's a de 9 Jee

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Thankfully, I am almost fully recovered, as are the kids, Kirsten is still afflicted but fighting the good fight

10:11 pm

Jacula

doxy - I might stoop low enough from my high perch to d5/16 to give you a clue. Think what a king or queen does and then change the intial 'r' to a 'd'.

10:12 pm

doxy1lover

thank you, thank you, thank you. Fireworks

10:12 pm

JeeWhiz

okay, let's talk about that de8 please?

10:12 pm

Jacula

Jee - the 9 word is a 'de'. The cops might say they are de9/72 a criminal for questioning.

10:13 pm

kristinc

de+ta4/4 and then the typical endings

10:13 pm

Angb

Yay doxy

10:13 pm

Jacula

de8 is the past tense, Jee.

10:15 pm

JeeWhiz

Wi***, what good's money without health
Wi***, I'll be as right as rain in no time

it would be great if we could have a private website to post clues that don't disappear so fast in the chat, so we could check the clues any time we have time.

10:26 pm

Angb

ADHD - you'll get there. You'll become a multi-tasker like the rest of us -

Jacula

10:26 pm

10:26 pm

Angb

Here's wi 7/56 you a merry christmas

10:27 pm

ADHDWordLover

sorry ang... i don't understand your clue. add the third vowel ...?

10:27 pm

JeeWhiz

And ADHD is a great skill to have with your new babble addiction

10:27 pm

Jacula

However, we use that for chatting, not clueing. You can bring the whole chatlog back at your leisure by clicking on the icon on far right at the top of this, should you wish.

10:27 pm

CyborgScrabbler

AEIOU Third vowel is I

10:27 pm

Tiny

10:28 pm

Angb

ADHD - add the third vowel of the 5 vowels available - as a third letter

10:28 pm

Angb

Hi Cyborg

10:28 pm

Jacula

ADHD - we never add 3rd letters here in the chatlog unless time is short and things are getting deperate.

10:28 pm

SC

Of course -- thanks so much, my first finish.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Jacula

That's the problem with being ADHD, I guess.

10:31 pm

ADHDWordLover

yep... at this time of night the drugs are long worn off

10:32 pm

Angb

OK ADHD - the da 8/ 70 - two words added together. platform (starts with those 3) + another word for tramp. Then change the last letter from the second vowel to the third vowel

10:33 pm

Jacula

Kristinc - had you asked, I would have sung to you... mud, mud, glorious mud. Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood. Then I'd have told you they kill more people per annum than crocs or lions ever do.

10:34 pm

kristinc

hmm...well a new factoid at least right?

10:34 pm

CyborgScrabbler

AngB I have been here every day beavering away at the puzzles, I am now 11 points from the top score, this puzzles is a toughie and may take me to the top, how you doing with it, need any clues for the biggies?

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

ADHD -- you are never in danger of being killed here... there are few enough language lovers as it is... however eventually you will be slapped with a fish :-D

10:38 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - first ta6 is the Babble tapeworm. 1st 2 letters an anagram of a British breakfast drink then add actress Miss Farrow with her initial changed to the one after it in the alphabet.

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks Jac -- that I have not been playing in a while is definitely showing
