12:00 am

I was jsut about to get that last word and flip! D***!

12:00 am

flosey

12:00 am

Nef

12:00 am

cybernan

12:01 am

helenkeller

12:01 am

Hello. Aarrgh

12:01 am

flosey

well, will start anyway!

12:01 am

helenkeller

uh-oh - everyone's gunning for nan now, lol

12:01 am

prismmgc2

flip!

12:01 am

girlie

ack ... good thing I've got nothing to do but sit here with a cold

prismmgc2

little late but oh well

12:01 am

ursh

Helen - tx for interest - i will email you shortly

12:01 am

Nef

You got your wish; but right off the bat I see a lot of words! :)

12:02 am

La Di Da

flip!! I am a bit late!

12:03 am

helenkeller

nef- mine was not from a fall, but i wouldn't necessarily call it elective either, it was end- stage arthritis, bone on bone, i was popping vicodin like dr. house (well, not quite that bad, but still, i was in constant pain)

12:03 am

VolleymomDee

Hi babble buddies!!

12:03 am

helenkeller

okay ursh - i will gladly tell you all i can & send you to web sites to get more direct info :)))

VolleymomDee

Hi Jill!! LOL me too

12:04 am

jillibus

stored

12:04 am

Nef

Helen, when I said elective; that differentiates it from a trauma or fall I believ. They don't go around replacing hips for the fun of it. Most orthopedic surgeons put it off as long as possible

12:04 am

jillibus

tons

12:05 am

jillibus

12:08 am

jillibus

Hi melon - I know how you feel

12:08 am

helenkeller

nef - i believe mine resulted from car vs. bike incident 30 years ago (i was on bicycle, i lost) - but i will tell you, that's what they said - it's up to me, "you may want to put it off cause you're 'so young'," big mistake, i wish i had done it much sooner & that's what i tell everyone now, cause the quality of my life is worlds better now - it's really rather miraculous :)

Melon - happy birthday for yesterday! (even though it is somewhat clouded)

12:10 am

Nef

Helen, a lot of ortho docs won't do it before a person is over 60 years old because they don't last long (maybe 15 years?)

12:11 am

DRBERNABO

the 10 is 105 points

12:12 am

jillibus

lol nef!

12:12 am

helenkeller

yes nef - that's exactly why - i was 45 when it started to hurt - but i stand by what i say - it's not worth the gamble, who knows, a person may get hit by a bus tomorrow & also there (better be, i hope, knock on wood) improvements in the revision by the time i need one

12:12 am

VolleymomDee

what does the 10 begin with?

12:14 am

helenkeller

hell, i quit bowling, tennis, & towards the end, even walking my dogs, i was very depressed, so i also started to take anti-depressants - that & the new hip made me my old, fabulous self again

12:15 am

prismmgc2

My 83 year old mom had her hips done. One at 79, the other at 81. What a difference

12:15 am

jillibus

hehe, greyed the Q

12:15 am

jillibus

maul

12:15 am

Nef

I'm glad you are feeling better Helen. And (unfortunately) I know too well how a decrease in activity can get a person down

12:15 am

jillibus

sorry again

12:15 am

helenkeller

pris - i bet she's much more fun to be around now, lol

jili needs new glasses

12:45 am

jillibus

the young Sophia?

12:46 am

helenkeller

hey, she still looks pretty much the same to me - quite amazing

12:46 am

FranMag

this looks like Sophia in the 80s

12:46 am

jillibus

I swear I didn't see all those other people name her

12:46 am

FranMag

1980s, not her 80s

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

12:46 am

FranMag

like helen said, you need new glasses jilli! :-)

12:46 am

helenkeller

hey, i saw on the oscars when they were doing the 'in memoriam' part, that carlo ponti died last year, i didn't know that

12:47 am

jillibus

Ok, that was for melon's birthday Italian Movies theme, right?

12:47 am

jillibus

I think I needed a new brain, not glasses

12:48 am

DRBERNABO

so we're looking for a pa 8 that is not there?

12:48 am

flosey

no jilli, not at all

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

must be... I thought you or mr said it... must have been mistaken

12:49 am

cybernan

is the pa 9 a compound word?

12:49 am

FranMag

you definitely don't need a new brain jilli, unless you can download your current contents and save them somewhre.

12:50 am

DRBERNABO

yes, the 9 and 10 are both compound words (as in they are two words in the grid put together)

12:51 am

hi everyone

2:13 am

Andree

hello andree

I'm just trying to understand lickity's thingy.

jillibus

Aniku -- Did you see my explanation? (scroll down)

2:14 am

Amiku

OH

2:14 am

lynxxx

Amiku - the first number will be the number of letters - the second numbers are the point total for that word. Each tile has a point value on it - like Scrabble

2:15 am

Amiku

I get it nowwwwwww

2:15 am

jillibus

Amiku

It's my birthday tomorrow. I've just realised.

2:23 am

hydra

Morning lynxxx, Andree, Sprite, Jillbus, Amiku. Why won't the grid accept Parp, as in Toad of Toad Hall's favourite word?

2:23 am

Andree

maybe we don't have the same grid ad everyone else, lol

2:23 am

jillibus

Happy birthday tomorrow amiku!

VolleymomDee

2:24 am

hydra

I haven't found one, Volleymom

2:27 am

Amiku

Hehehe

2:28 am

hydra

Add a letter and you get the German for 'cheers'! (Well, I think it's German)

2:28 am

Amiku

Well I'm 16 as of tomorrow so I'd like to think that I have enough of a life to sustain myself for another couple of years :P

2:28 am

jillibus

Amiku, if you click on the icons you get a profile of the player. There's also a daily theme for icons -- some of us enjoy following it, others prefer to stick with one of their own choosing

2:28 am

sprite

now now now, Andree, don't call us cheap!

2:28 am

hydra

Congrats for tomorrow, Amiku

2:28 am

Amiku

FranMag

3:54 am

lynxxx

Conxshun the 9&10 aren't related to the 8s

3:55 am

ConXshun

6:13 am

ConXshun

6:13 am

Wolvie

;-)

6:14 am

lynxxx

di 6 & 7 ... d + I need to **** the clothes after I wash them but insert last vowel after the first letter of that word

6:14 am

ConXshun

de plus what this grid makes me feel like (only single consonant)

6:14 am

Haz1558

di6 - di plus a vowel, then Pres Reagan shortened

6:14 am

Wolvie

ty haz

6:15 am

lynxxx

sooo much better Haz - I'll just stop trying to clue now

6:15 am

Wolvie

6:15 am

Haz1558

Don't be silly lynxxx!

6:16 am

ConXshun

phone!

6:16 am

hillary

can anyone clue the 10?

6:17 am

KristineNas

a clue hmmmm it has 10 letters !!

6:17 am

KristineNas

:-/

6:17 am

Haz1558

hillary - first find the po6/30 - a small platform. Then put a four letter prefix beginning pa in front. The pa prefix comes before trooper and military in some circumstances.

6:18 am

lynnet

pa/10 pa**legal plus po 6/30

6:18 am

Haz1558

pa9 follows the same idea, but make the ending a latin plural.

6:18 am

hillary

tks haz, I had the po6/30, would never have thought of adding that prefix!

6:18 am

Wolvie

ty haz - great clue

6:19 am

Scrabbler

**thinking of a platform starting with po...??**

6:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - got it earlier from the chat log.

6:19 am

Wolvie

tum tum tum tum tum...rhymes with the ending

6:19 am

Haz1558

P plus a word for hatred...(od5/16)

6:19 am

bhavya

anyone got a clue for the qu?

6:20 am

KristineNas

sounds like per diem scrab minus the r

6:20 am

KristineNas

kinda sorts anyway

6:20 am

Anne38

the 10 is two words joined the pa 4 and the po 6

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I was looking at the other P, 4th column. to start the po

6:20 am

Haz1558

qu plus the beginning of the opposite of even for qu4.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

OK, I have the 9 and the 10, life is good, and I must get ready for work, against my will.

6:21 am

Wolvie

bye scrabbler

6:21 am

hillary

tell me a bit about the 9 scrabber!

6:21 am

Wolvie

what does the 9 start with??

6:21 am

Haz1558

The grid will be waiting for you when you get back, Scrabbler. Drive carefully.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Latin plural of the 10

6:22 am

Anne38

go acros the bottom and up to the um

6:22 am

Wolvie

ah - ty

6:22 am

KristineNas

<does not know latin

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I work, then volunteer at the cancer institute, so I will be back at 7:30 or so, my time

6:22 am

Haz1558

pa9 - on the basis that stadium is singular, and stadia is plural, apply the same rules to the pa10 to make the pa9

6:22 am

KristineNas

TYV HAZ

6:23 am

KristineNas

m

6:23 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:23 am

bhavya

thanks haz, and anyone got a clue for pa10?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Great clue, as usual, Hazel. When is your book coming out? "Strategies for Babble Clues: A Study of the Subtle and the Obvious."

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Or, Babble for Dummies. Or, The Idiot's Guide to Babble.

6:24 am

Haz1558

I'll have to start work on it soon, Scrabbler. That's a catchy title.

6:25 am

Haz1558

pa10 was clued just down the page, bhavya (6.17 onwards)

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye! (I can't be late for work and say that I was stuck in Babble Land.)

6:47 am

LoriP

We've had that word in grids before, and I stated then, as I do now, that though they may be offensive, they are words. Glad to see the grid isn't politically correct

Anniebrook

nutsy, see you later

8:19 am

Haz1558

peri - first find the small platform (po6/21). Then prefix it with a four letter pa word which precedes trooper or military. The pa9 is formed in the same way, but is the latin plural and ends in a vowel.

8:19 am

Alleyn

Silver clue please for the pe9 and st8. I'm stumped and need them before booking a holiday. Done the 9 and 10

8:20 am

8:21 am

periwinkle

*much*

8:21 am

Haz1558

st8 - first think of a word which describes something that is not a liquid or a gas. Then put a t after the s to make the adjective for impassive, unmoving (st6) , Make it a comparative (and even more dull) for st8

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Haz, I never would have found the 9 and 10...maybe if I found each word separately and put them together

8:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Annie and peri.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Haz, thanks agin

8:23 am

LoriP

Even if you had drawn me a map, and done an interpretive dance, I still wouldn't have found them.

8:23 am

Alleyn

Haz. You brick st8 done!

8:24 am

Haz1558

pe9 - first four letters that precede 'winkle' in the babbler's name with the blue flower icon. Then rearrange the letters of the postman with the black and white cat....

8:24 am

ARB

Haz, you are remarkable.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Lori - the thought of me doing an interpretative dance will make me smile all afternoon!

8:24 am

Haz1558

Pe7 that is - plural for pe8.

8:24 am

LoriP

If it made you smile, I'm glad to return the favor. :-)

8:25 am

Anniebrook

I have all the 8, 9, and 10's---thanks to Haz

8:25 am

Haz1558

Well done Annie!

8:27 am

GobiasIndustries

8:27 am

Haz1558

It's bound to be Alleyn - does it ever get cold there? Bloodaxe would know.

8:27 am

LoriP

anagram a *** on the back for a job well done

8:27 am

Haz1558

Ah, the postman has a shortened version of the patron saint of Ireland.

8:27 am

Alleyn

Gobiaetc. You need grandkids for that clue!!!!!!!!11

8:28 am

Haz1558

I picked it to suit, Alleyn - I thought you'd know!

8:29 am

LoriP

Okay, need more coffee. There are 2 ai's spots on the grid. That would explain my frustration....

8:31 am

Alleyn

You all need me too well. I do work two days a week as well as being a silver grandmother. But again based around children............

8:32 am

Haz1558

I reckoned with George in the picture you'd have to have a working knowledge of Greendale and its characters.

8:34 am

lizmac

D'you think P***man P** has a thing going with Mrs Goggins?

8:34 am

Haz1558

No, indeed - sure he's happily married to Sarah.

8:35 am

lizmac

Forever popping in for cups of tea though..draw your own conclusions!!

8:36 am

Haz1558

But it's only when he's picking up more letters and parcels. No, he's innocent, I'm convinced of it.

8:36 am

Alleyn

Has anyone caught Shaun the Sheep?

8:37 am

Haz1558

I saw it highlighted in the paper as being a must watch. Did you see it yet?

8:37 am

ARB

Alleyn

Got the mend one!

9:18 am

LoriP

Wow. Thank ye muchly Haz! That interpretive dance thing is working out quite nicely!

9:18 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - The un8 is based on a un6 word, ending in y which indicates one who is out of control, not abiding by regulations etc. Make it a comparative by dropping the sometimes vowel, replacing it with a vowel and a comparative ending.

9:19 am

LoriP

I never would have gotten that in a month of Sundays

9:19 am

Haz1558

All that swaying, Lori, the dog is giving me funny looks...

Alleyn

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

pabtrek

9:33 am

LoriP

ha = to drag something, or in it for the long **** + I am f***cely adamant that is a stoopid word

9:33 am

Haz1558

pabtrek - one who moves consignments of goods, add a comparative ending to the dragging ha4/6

9:33 am

Anniebrook

pab, ha 4/6---make it comparative

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

that's a word?

9:33 am

Haz1558

Lori - it's a normal word in Britain.

9:33 am

pabtrek

thanks lori, haz and annie

9:34 am

Anniebrook

Une, I guess that's a word....

9:34 am

LoriP

LOL Haz, never heard it in my life. Along with a bazillion other words.... :-)

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

is it a brit noun or adjective??

9:34 am

Atalante

noun

9:34 am

Atalante

as in a firm of ha7s

9:34 am

Haz1558

It's a noun - someone who is prepared to do the shifting.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! : )

10:01 am

LoriP

Sorry Monkey. :(

10:01 am

Haz1558

st6/21 can either be impassive, lacking in emotion. or another one is four letters for the opposite of go, plus the us medical drama - the one who does the action.

10:02 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon TO.

10:02 am

Alleyn

Lori. Of course!

10:03 am

10:03 am

Alleyn

Got it all on my own...........

10:03 am

Haz1558

cu7/40 - a comparative relating to the Little Miss Muffet food.

10:04 am

Jen34

was it "stoic"? I tried that one, too

10:04 am

Strider

cu 7/40 is more of the little miss muffet's stuff

10:04 am

Strider

Haz - I guess we are on the same wave length

10:04 am

MonkeyMind

jen...that's what i thought. not there though

10:04 am

Haz1558

Monkey - the word rhymes and is structured almost exactly like the opposite of a liquid or gas.

10:04 am

dicktrickle

think not liquid or gas....with an added letter in there

10:04 am

harpjane

i'm still waiting for the dance lori

Haz1558

Not to mention the babblers.

11:00 am

Charm

weird babblers? I thought that was a given, Haz.

11:00 am

Haz1558

True, a redundant statement.

11:01 am

cybernan

that was a short walk, Haz!

11:01 am

Haz1558

I know - not allowed to walk too far with this leg....

11:02 am

cybernan

what's wrong with your leg?

11:02 am

Haz1558

Sciatic nerve is playing up....

11:02 am

cybernan

oh -- ouch!!!

11:02 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

11:04 am

cybernan

have you tried a muscle relaxant? --- we have an over the counter med here called ParafonForte, which is part analgesic and part muscle relaxant -- doesn't cure anything, but sure does relieve the pain.

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone else think htis gird is fairly difficult?

11:04 am

cybernan

Apparently when the nerve is inflamed it causes the surrounding muscle to spasm

11:05 am

cybernan

yeeeeeeeees!!!

11:05 am

cybernan

Just waiting till I'm down to 100 before going for the list

11:05 am

lizmac

TO...not so much difficult as looooong !!

11:05 am

Haz1558

I've got a couple of tablets prescribed by the doctor, and they're easing it a bit, but the pain never goes away completely. It could be worse.

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

valium is helping that ofr me. but i still have muscvle spasms

11:06 am

doxy1lover

any clues for the pa9/10???

11:07 am

cybernan

The problem with valium is that you shouldn't drive after taking it. Can't have any alcoholic beverages either.

11:07 am

Haz1558

You don't appreciate how well the body is put together until one part goes wrong.

11:07 am

kylier, the help button has a few tips, right above this chat box.....after that, if you look in "friends of babble" (bottom left) you'll see angelsong's page which has good pointers, and finally lickety's babble clues, which is where we find the first two letters of words.

7:20 pm

mrsfeatherbottom

ok... those are the words that may be missing

7:20 pm

ok Kylier, enough joshing. You can read up about the game in HELP above the chat log, or in Anglesongs Bable page (find in left corner under Friends ofBabble)

7:20 pm

Hi, Helen and Tor, mymuse and kangabrat... I have been monkeying the last word for too many ticks on the clock, and must ask for a clue. It's my last word, and it shouldn't be this mean at the end. I need the dr5/12 after no-pizzaz 5/12 that begins the list. Then I have the dr5/12&dr6/21 combo, the dr46 which then morphs into the dr5/14, but the one dr5/12 has me properly hanging out to dry! Help, Please??

11:20 pm
