2:05 am

yes, one of several minutes
2:06 am
jillibus
I wonder what goes on
2:06 am
Douglas
But that one has nothing to do with guilty as charged particles
2:07 am
sprite
mine does - same ending!
jilli, perhaps it is the moment when the stats are generated?
2:08 am
jillibus
or a switch to another server or something I don't understand like that

2:09 am

I hate it when I am entering words and then realise it is hiccup time. When I realise it is almost time, I stop entering words and then I don't really mind.

It sure does, especially when you've had an insomniac night like me.
2:20 am
sprite
I know, hydra, I know :)
Lack of sleep is not really an asset for anything, it seems :(
2:21 am
hydra
Got any remedies that work? I've tried everything. All those Kalms and sleep aids on the pharmacy shelf. Candles, music, earplugs, eyeshades, alcohol...
2:22 am
sprite
not really, sorry. Getting relaxed enough to let sleep take over from your tension and worries - but that is NOT easy.
2:22 am
lizmac
I LOVE small grids like this, I've got a chance of finishing them before divorce proceedings are initiated !
2:22 am

I'll try the milk and banana. Tho' I'll probably get sniffles and indigestion!
2:24 am

2:25 am
hydra
Yes, it is. I'm struggling with the n's now
2:25 am
sprite
still nice going :)
2:27 am
lizmac
If you DO get sniffles then it's a perfect excuse to use something like Night Nurse which knocks you out.
2:27 am
lynxxx
She sounds like a tough broad!
2:27 am
hydra
Oh, doesn't it just? Trouble is, it leaves you dopy the next day. You go round in a haze. Quite a pleasant haze tho'
2:28 am
sprite
sounds like something to get easily addicted to then
2:28 am

I'll be off - see you everone. enjoy the grid and the rest of your day

ROFL Lyn... it's a cold cure over here! NOT me, honest, my patients tend to have knocked themselves out before they reach me!
2:31 am
lizmac
I don't think it's addictive. Antihistamine based I believe.
2:31 am
sprite
if babble is addictive, anything can be :)
2:32 am
hydra
I knew someone who was addicted to it. She used it every night for years. She's still alive as far as I know!

2:40 am

What was hiccup time? Did the site freeze up? Or do you mean a real hiccup?
2:40 am
sprite
2.00 am each grid, when the site freezes.
2:40 am
jillibus
nite sprite and all -- happy babbling -- *poof*
2:41 am
hydra
Oh. That explains it. I went away, tried to get back on and couldn't. So it happens every day? Wonder why?
2:41 am
sprite
we all wonder why. Could be that the stats are generated then, or some maintenance thing, or a server switch, we just don't know. But it is the same every day.

4:06 am

Has anyone got clues for the ha 5/18 and the ha 5/12? I've tried every resourse I know of and can't find them. Clues would be greatly appreciated...
4:06 am
Haz1558
am7/32 - relating to the fluid surrounding a foetus, no7/40 those who show no enthusiasm for a sporting team, for instance.
4:07 am
Haz1558
ha5/18 - plural of ha4/8 - pronounced like a fraction, it features a double helping of a vowel.
4:08 am
Haz1558
ha5/12 - was in the grid yesterday as well! Starts off with Mr Christian Anderson, finishes with a vowel.
4:08 am
FranMag
thanks haz!
4:08 am
Haz1558
You're welcome!
4:08 am

i had an english teacher in high school whose first name was ha5/12.

I'm not too bad, thanks.... Typing problems, FMitch?
5:20 am
FMitch
definitely LOL
5:21 am
Haz1558
I had problems getting on this morning, but discovered a site offering babble solutions - two ticks and I'll get the address.
5:22 am
herinfernallady
it seems the site had hicups
5:22 am
Haz1558
www.babblesolver.com - I wonder if Dr-G knows about it, and who is behind it?
5:23 am
FMitch
ooooooh I will have a quick look
5:25 am
FMitch
Well it does what it says on the tin as they say, mind you there are a number of sites out there but not so specific!!
5:26 am
Haz1558
I was quite startled - it's the same layout of grid etc but no clue as to who is generating it.
5:26 am
Tulpa
Oh My God! I thought the letters had to be directly consecutive! Ithought I was in the company of geniuses from outer space! *Duh!* once again!
5:27 am
Haz1558
Well, yes, we are geniuses, though not from outer space.... Are you happy with the concept now?
5:28 am
Tulpa
I think so.. My brain appears to be otherwise engaged... ;-)
5:28 am
FMitch
Haz wouldnot that be genii (was in the grid the other day) LOL
5:29 am
Karys
Fireworks !!!!
5:29 am
Haz1558
Well done Karys!
5:29 am
Tulpa
Genii maybe but Geniuses sound better!

Congrats Karys and happy smiley cat!

FMitch
very true Tulpa
5:30 am
Tiny
well done karys
5:30 am
Karys
thank you... going to have a look at that site now then
5:31 am
Haz1558
No, the dictionary says we are geniuses. it's Official.
5:31 am
Haz1558
genii is the plural of genie, apparently.
5:31 am
Karys
how strange !
5:32 am
Tulpa
Can anyone tell me why 'Pint' is disallowed?
5:32 am
Haz1558
And there I've been looking for genies in lamps all my life.
5:32 am
Karys
it's not there Tulpa
5:32 am
Haz1558
You can't form pint - the letters have to touch.
5:33 am
Tulpa
of course..
5:34 am
Karys
Haz, can you find a def. for fa4/10 ?
5:35 am
Haz1558
I assumed it was the bean Hannibal Lecter talked about in the awful speech?
5:35 am
herinfernallady
how is everone
5:35 am
Haz1558
Just looked it up - Italian version of the broad bean.
5:36 am
Karys
aah, thank you, that has made all the difference !
5:37 am
FMitch
and added 2 more words to my list, thanks.
5:37 am
Karys
your very welcome FMitch !
5:37 am
herinfernallady
im back stupid net crashed
5:37 am
Haz1558
You're obviously being strong and resisting the solver escape clause.
5:38 am
Karys
I wonder why you would want to have the puzzle solved for you ?
5:39 am
Karys
not that I could finish without everyones clues, I must add.
5:39 am
Tulpa
I guess there are a number of Uk folks because of the time.. Does this site attract other countries?
5:39 am
herinfernallady
Im from Australis
5:39 am
herinfernallady
opps Australia
5:39 am
herinfernallady
i suck typing tonigh
5:39 am
Karys
from just about everywhere Tulpa
5:40 am
Haz1558
Tulpa - the game lasts for 24 hours so we have players from all over the world on at various times.
5:40 am
herinfernallady
I live in Melbourne Aus
5:40 am
FMitch
Lickety and log clues are the the way to do it.
Tulpa there are players from all over just depends on what time you play.
5:40 am
Haz1558
Karys - not sure about the solver site - I suppose it would solve the problem for the 'give me sum wrds' brigade!
5:41 am
Tulpa
I've just peeked at 'Who's online' and see a number of people from all over the place!
5:41 am
Karys
thats true, now that would be a good idea !
5:41 am
Eva
haz-you mean the site gives the whole words?!
5:41 am
Haz1558
Some people stay logged on all the time, so they show as being present, even though they may not be here in reality.
5:42 am
larlielou
morning all anne are u babbleing
5:42 am
Haz1558
Eva - the site lists all the words, points totals, the works.
5:42 am
Tulpa
FMitch. What are 'Lickety and Log clues'?
5:42 am
herinfernallady
THere was a study about being addicted to EMAIL i wonder if any off us would admit being admited to babble?
5:42 am
Eva
it seems like we should tell Dr G about that
5:42 am
Karys
that's me, I'm always logged on but not necessarily here, but then you could take that two ways !
5:43 am
ch1212
LOL karys -- me too! Morning everyone -
5:43 am
herinfernallady
i am NOT addicted
5:43 am
FMitch
The log clues are ones that we give eachother in the chat log and Lickety 2nd letter list is very useful - look at the bottom of the pague under Friends of Babble.
5:43 am
Karys
hi there ch1212
5:43 am
Tiny
Hi herin and FMitch

5:45 am
Tiny
no was on earlier it is only 9:45pm here
5:46 am
Haz1558
Eva - I'm not sure how widely known the new site is, I just tumbled upon it by accident this morning. I have no idea how long it has been running for or who has put it together.
5:46 am
Karys
only 11 days til I get over there Tiny, ( not that I am counting of course ! )
5:46 am
ch1212
Hi Tiny -- I like your icon for Ash Wednesday.
5:46 am
Eva
how's your beautiful pup this morning Haz?
5:46 am
Tiny
Where are you coming to Karys
5:46 am
Tiny
thank you ch1212
5:47 am
Haz1558
She's fine, Eva, thanks. She'll soon be in looking for her walk.
5:47 am
Karys
first to Sydney, then Brisbane to visit husband's son
5:47 am
Eva
do you ever watch the Dog Whisperer? Don't know if you get him over there.
5:47 am
Tiny
Where in Brisbane
5:48 am
Haz1558
Eva - we have a UK version with a lady Dog Whisperer, Jan someone. She can pretty much get the dogs to mow the lawn and cook the food.
5:48 am
Karys
The Gap Tiny
5:49 am
Haz1558
Slight exaggeration.....
5:49 am
Tiny
not that far from me how long will you be staying there
5:49 am
Eva
LOL. The man here is just wonderful. Has his own pack of about 40-50 dogs he has rescued, many of them pitbulls, rotweillers, who would have been killed as hopeless.
5:50 am
Eva
He says he trains people, not dogs.
5:50 am
Haz1558
He's a brave man!
5:50 am
Uneaixoise
Eva, I've watched him some and he IS a miracle worker! :-)
5:50 am
Eva
17 left and they are invisible.
5:51 am
Karys
we are taking 4 days to drive up from Sydney, then staying with the family for 4 days., going on to Darwin and Cairns, then back to Brisbane for the last 3 days.
5:51 am
Tiny
so when will you actually be in Brisbane
5:52 am
Eva
Some other trainers are critical of him because they say he is too harsh, not loving enough. I think they are mainly jealous. There is nothing loving abouthaving a dog who ois out of control and doesn't know it is a dog.
5:52 am
Karys
Sunday 11th March til Wedneasy
5:52 am
Haz1558
Well, I must be off - nice to see you all this morning. Happy hunting for the invisible words!

hi stid, hows life treating ya?
3:11 pm
stidmama
this week, life is GOOD! I just came in from pruning the plum.... looking like a bumper crop this year!
3:11 pm

3:13 pm
aknitter
i wish it were garden season here
3:13 pm
Wolvie
which one did you go to stid?
3:13 pm
bunnyvicious
I was wondering if I could mulch over my bulbs, will they push thru? Then put some vinca ground cover in to hide dying stalks? Don't want to choke them out, but I think the mulch will help keep the ground moist.
3:13 pm
stidmama
I wish it weren't moving quite so fast here, knitter!
3:14 pm
stidmama
the one in Seattle. It was a lot smaller than in years past.
3:14 pm
bunnyvicious
It's hot here, I've been out dgging post holes all morning. Fells like low 80's.
3:14 pm
stidmama
YES bunny! they will LOVE the mulch and the vinca (or similar cover) is a super idea as well. Just be sure you want it to spread a lot if you plant vinca --- because it will.
3:14 pm
EvaNadine

3:16 pm
EvaNadine
hints for the TA5?
3:16 pm
stidmama
Well vinca won't stay just "one" bunny, so that should be about right... you'll need to irrigate this year but next year when they are established and the vinca leaves shade its roots you won't need to water as much.

fa5/24 = an Islamic religious decree (think Salman Rushdie), fa5/22 - it's best to think of the beans Hannibal Lecter liked. fa5/24 = colours, or, bows & scrapes to.
