kazzar

Morning Sprite, seems my ten yr old daughter got hold of MY babble and decided to give some little 'clues' of her own - oops! I have now enlightened her on the Babble clue-giving etiquette :-)

3:08 am

Atalante

hi kazzar!

3:09 am

kazzar

Good Morning Ata, how are we on this fine English morning?

3:09 am

Jadeomoan

morning kazzar!

3:09 am

Atalante

isnt it gorgeous! fine apart from the evil grid!

3:09 am

kazzar

morning Jade & morning all...

3:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Not another evil grid?

3:10 am

Atalante

yup *nods*

3:10 am

Jadeomoan

Afraid so, Haz.

3:10 am

kazzar

It's a little unsusual, but fun though!

3:10 am

kazzar

quite

3:11 am

kazzar

oops sorry

3:11 am

Haz1558

Okay. I'll be brave....

3:11 am

Atalante

how's Spangle on this lovely morning?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Spangle is very well, thanks.

3:12 am

Atalante

awwww good

3:13 am

Haz1558

She's going through her morning routine of sorting out her paws, dashing back and forwards from the treat cupboard. Soon the cat patrol will begin.

3:13 am

diem

giant still not there

3:14 am

Atalante

a friend's dog had to be put down 2 days ago, so I'm very aware of how wonderful all dogs are at the moment! oh yes, Sorting Out The Paws. very important

3:15 am

Haz1558

Oh dear - I know what you mean, Atalante.

3:18 am

Haz1558

You weren't kidding about this grid.

3:18 am

Atalante

my best friend and I had great fun yesterday - we took her Springer and her JRT into a paintballing area of the wood (when no paintballing was going on!) and watched them run over unexploded paint balls. Both started mainly white. Both ended up a strange mix of white, fluorescent pink, and blue.

3:19 am

Haz1558

So, baths in order after that?!

3:19 am

Atalante

I was not! horrid grid! some nice words though

3:19 am

Atalante

both straight under the shower, but so much fun was had by all!

3:20 am

Haz1558

It sounds it!

3:20 am

Eva

what am I doing up at this hour and why is the grid so annoying? Woke up at 3:15 to Merp crunching bones.

3:21 am

Eva

Trying to tire myself out to go back to sleep.

3:21 am

Atalante

ewww Merp!

3:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning Eva. I hate to say it, but Merp sounds rather anti-social!

3:22 am

Eva

if you're a mouse, for sure

3:22 am

Haz1558

And the grid would be annoying at any time, never mind tackling it after witnessing carnage in your bedroom.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Cat patrol yielding results - frenzied barking from the garden....

3:26 am

Eva

gotta keep those cats in line

3:26 am

Atalante

a cat dared enter the garden? or does the patrol encompass other people's gardens that she can see into?

3:28 am

Haz1558

There are two cats who live next door - they act as a kind of tag team. One aspect of cat patrol is keeping them out, another is scenting out where they have been the night before.

3:28 am

Haz1558

And then there's the front door watch. They stroll by the front step and wait for the reaction.

3:28 am

Atalante

ohhh. Serious Stuff then

3:29 am

Eva

sounds like a fun time is had by all

3:30 am

Haz1558

Very. Behind the oil tank is especially critical. She runs into the space, then has to reverse out as there's so little room for manoeuvre!

3:30 am

Atalante

LOL! :) silly thing!

3:31 am

Haz1558

It's very funny - she's so predictable.

3:31 am

Atalante

they have such routines!

3:31 am

Eva

okay-this grid is waking me up too much-not soothing at all, so back to a book and hopefully to sleep. See you lataer

3:32 am

diem

1.30am bed time night all 4 days off yeah bye

3:32 am

Jadeomoan

3:34 am

Jadeomoan

bye diem

3:40 am

Jadeomoan

wow...look at the time!

3:40 am

Haz1558

This is incredibly slow. One word. After a while another word. Minutes go past. Another word.

3:40 am

Atalante

sounds familiar

3:41 am

Jadeomoan

I know.....and I am getting sleepy

3:42 am

lynxxx

oh good Haz - I thought it was just 'cause I had people buzzling around me. This is sooo slow.

3:42 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. How are we all?

3:42 am

Haz1558

It'll make no difference. I've had a night's sleep and I'm still picking out the occasional word here and there.

3:43 am

Atalante

and the 8s and 9s ... *shudder*

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx. I have visions of babblers over the world just picking out letters very slowly and thinking 'Is it me?

3:43 am

Jadeomoan

nope, same here too....

3:44 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness, I've just looked at the Word Stats. That's cheered me up no end.

3:44 am

Jadeomoan

Atalante

3:46 am

Jadeomoan

3:46 am

Jadeomoan

I have the sp8

3:46 am

lynxxx

3:47 am

lynxxx

3:47 am

Atalante

got a very big ship for a 7, thats my most impressiveword!

3:47 am

Jadeomoan

3:53 am

sprite

4:03 am

Jadeomoan

I mean the only 'O' with words for it?

4:04 am

Jinxie2300

4:04 am

Haz1558

Well, the enable dictionary is the one that is used for babble and it accepts it, so accept the points!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Jade - I don't have anything for that yet.

4:05 am

Jinxie2300

4:30 am

Haz1558

I started moaning at about 30 words in.

4:31 am

hurshy

4:41 am

stidmama

4:41 am

hurshy

i don't think i really have the pirate spirit

4:41 am

MonkeyGames

The last quagga died in Amsterdam and I've seen the taxidermied body, so I tend to notice the word. Even when it's not there, apparrently.

4:41 am

Atalante

phantom: gnostic (and agnostic)

4:42 am

hurshy

what is a quagga

4:42 am

stidmama

ah well, more loot for our crew, I suppose (but ye're always welcome)

4:42 am

stidmama

it was like a zebra, wasn't it?

4:42 am

Atalante

yup

4:42 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, sadly, and it doesn't like gnoetic or goetia. Sigh.

4:42 am

hurshy

i do miss a q... and got a 7 from haz clue before

4:43 am

MonkeyGames

The quagga was a zebra-like critter that rather resembed an okapi, yes.

4:44 am

MonkeyGames

Gotta go get this boy down for his nap. Back soon to stare in horror at the grid while I eat my lunch.

4:44 am

stidmama

seeing as how it's allergy season, "atchoo" ought to count!

4:44 am

hurshy

Atalante

take a letter out

4:45 am

stidmama

thanks hurshy!

4:45 am

stidmama

and atalante... how's the mouth today?

4:46 am

hurshy

what's wrong with your mouth???

4:46 am

Atalante

ok! its never hurt, remarkably! It throbs a bit still, but nothing some ibuprofen can't fix!

4:46 am

Haz1558

She had wisdom tooth extraction - don't you remember?

4:46 am

hurshy

oh, wisdom tooth - you know i remembered the discussion but forgot why we had it

4:46 am

Atalante

I'm still amazed how easy it was

4:47 am

hurshy

yay

4:47 am

stidmama

so happy to hear that! :-) so the doc is good as well as handsome *makes note to have next tooth extracted in the UK*

4:48 am

hurshy

i wouldn't want a handsome doctor working on me with my mouth agape and blood and drool - not the most conducive to romance

4:48 am

Atalante

yup he is! was quite happily eating normally food as soon as the anaesthetic wore off. The hole feels *weird* though!

4:48 am

stidmama

LOL hurshy, no I suppose not.

4:48 am

hurshy

did they give you a squirty thing to irrigate the hole? i love the squirty thing

4:49 am

Atalante

no! now I feel deprived

4:49 am

hurshy

go back and demand a squirty thing

4:49 am

stidmama

yippee! I got a 7!

4:49 am

stidmama

only 152 to go...

4:49 am

Atalante

do we have squirty things given to us at dentists over here, Haz? or was my dentist just being mean?

4:50 am

Haz1558

I've never had a squirty thing.

4:50 am

Atalante

nor me *sigh*

4:50 am

hurshy

mine said "monoject" on it but that might just be the brand name

4:50 am

hurshy

maybe you can order them online...

4:50 am

Haz1558

We're very brave over here.

4:50 am

Haz1558

Stiff upper lip - and not from the novocaine, either.

4:51 am

hurshy

brave, schmave, the monoject is FUN. and came in handy later when i was making eclairs

4:51 am

Atalante

LOL!

4:52 am

stidmama

*remember to not eat chocolate eclairs from hurshy*

4:52 am

Haz1558

ca6/24 - a singular conspirator?

4:52 am

hurshy

why is it that people have a thing where once something has been used for one purpose, even if it gets sterilized, they can't feel right using it for another purpose???

4:53 am

stidmama

thanks for that one Haz... maybe?

4:53 am

hurshy

that is a funny one

4:53 am

stidmama

oh, well if you sterilized it first... LOL

4:54 am

Atalante

lol I use anything for anything as long as it works!

4:54 am

Haz1558

Now I'm starting to doubt myself - a vegetable or a herb..... Ends in Mr Cooder.

4:55 am

stidmama

well apparently choco-late isn't a veggie!

4:56 am

Haz1558

Add a vowel to the stylish ch4/7

4:56 am

Uneaixoise

4:59 am

addytewd

4:59 am

Uneaixoise

stidmama

addy -- right click where the image should be and it ought to pop up a dialog where you can choose to refresh or show the graphic

4:59 am

Haz1558

Thank you Uneaixoise- I was having awful moments of doubt that I had made him up.

4:59 am

haz, if you HAD made him up, your imagination would be amazing... you could make oodles of money in movies

5:00 am

Uneaixoise

back in the 80s there was a movie (Crossroads?) that featured his music

5:01 am

stidmama

apparently cooder is still going strong with an album out just this year! ... "Cooder was ranked number 8 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time"

5:01 am

addytewd

when I right click on any of the letters I DO show, it gives me the option to "view image" but it the blank spaces where all I see is the green background, when I right click, the option to "view image" isn't there. very odd.

5:02 am

Frances

Have you tried refreshing using F5?

5:02 am

Haz1558

So, there you are, people - a new name learned today. You heard it here first.

5:02 am

stidmama

that's definitely strange, addy. wish I knew what to do... I dislike missing grids!

5:02 am

addytewd

yes, frances, did all that. even rebooted computer when nothing else worked. tis okay. have a great day all :)

5:02 am

addytewd

lol me too, mama. i'm sure it'll be back to normal tomorrow

5:03 am

hurshy

poo, chatlog doesn't count

5:04 am

hurshy

sun starting to rise...

5:05 am

stidmama

at least a couple hours before sunrise here... *sigh* I hate being unable to sleep

5:05 am

hurshy

since i have nothing to do today i don't really mind. i wake up and there are cats being funny

5:06 am

MonkeyGames

Insomnia sucks. I have rather the opposite at the moment--just keep getting woken up by stuff happening. Dog needing out, toddler up early, landlady screaming in th estreet that we're all total sh*ts... you know how it is.

5:07 am

hurshy

hmm... i don't think i do know how that is

5:08 am

stidmama

:-) I was hoping to work outside, it's going to be a lovely day for gardening, but I have to take the van in for service. don't know if I'll have enough energy left over for anything else after that

5:08 am

hurshy

for me it's just first night in a new place - but usually my klonopin helps me sleep great - do you take anything stid?

5:08 am

stidmama

ewww Monkey -- makes renting sound -so- attractive! yes, that would definitely keep me up.

5:09 am

Atalante

I'm waiting for my husband and pup to get home, then I'll go down to the beach with them. lovely!

5:09 am

stidmama

I did take something last night, but my Tom waited until it wore off to come to bed, which woke me -- and not enough time to wake up if I retake it.

5:09 am

stidmama

that does sound lovely atalante!

5:09 am

hurshy

:(

5:09 am

hurshy

if inanition is a word, why isn't anition?

5:10 am

hurshy

or is my premise wrong, lol

5:10 am

MonkeyGames

The landlady thing, by the way, is ongoing and awful--but we're moving in three weeks! Yay!

5:10 am

MonkeyGames

Fetching my lunch, back in a min.

5:11 am

stidmama

yippee for you Monkey -- what will the new place be like? *envisioning fields of tulips surrounding a picturesque windmill*

5:12 am

stidmama

I found the no6 by using my no6! *proud look*

5:12 am

Uneaixoise

oohh tx--gives me a second word using "gg"

5:12 am

hurshy

i may just be developing a cat sleep schedule

5:13 am

stidmama

happy to be of service, Uneaixoise!

5:13 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

5:13 am

MonkeyGames

The tulip fields are in the boondocks, but the new place IS on the edge of a forest--Google Earth Ramplaa, Haarlem, Netherlands.Got lots of tulips just opening everywhere anyway. The windmill is downtown across from teh police station.

5:13 am

hurshy

double g words i have: ag5, lo6x2, no6

5:13 am

stidmama

you mean like sleeping in little bits throughout the day?

5:14 am

hurshy

well, waking up at four and being active for a couple hours, then falling back asleep, at any rate

5:14 am

Uneaixoise

tx--always think of that ag as being a proper noun ...

5:15 am

stidmama

hurshy, I just looked up that "inanition" interesting word...

5:15 am

stidmama

thanks for the other lo6 hurshy!

5:16 am

hurshy

yay for interesting words!

5:16 am

Uneaixoise

never heard that before!

5:17 am

stidmama

not that I will ever need it... ;-) much too well fed! or maybe there is a word for being sleepy because you ate too much?

5:17 am

hurshy

tryptophan

5:17 am

hurshy

lol

5:17 am

stidmama

*grin*

5:18 am

stidmama

oh, I just found my favorite "pet", the ch 4/6

5:19 am

Uneaixoise

so kinda like "roadie," a follower of Paul Bunyan would be a lo6/30?! :-)

5:19 am

stidmama

*groan* hastily putting away flannel shirt so as to avoid that one

5:20 am

Uneaixoise

it's early ...

5:21 am

Uneaixoise

that bad, huh?

5:21 am

hurshy

50 to go, i think i'm ready to go back to sleep. i hope. ttfn.

5:21 am

Uneaixoise

later hursh

5:21 am

stidmama

no, not that bad... just wasn't prepared for it! :-)

5:21 am

Atalante

sleep well!

5:21 am

stidmama

later hurshy! sweet dreams

5:22 am

stidmama

I am almost up to 100 words...

5:22 am

Uneaixoise

ditto

5:22 am

Atalante

go stiddy!

5:23 am

stidmama

wouldn't you think romans would wear a toggia to the lo6?

5:23 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babble Team. Aw, Stid---can't you sleep?

5:23 am

Atalante

LOOOL!

5:24 am

Uneaixoise

hey scrabbler

5:24 am

Scrabbler

Are we creating new words?

5:24 am

stidmama

no Scrabbler, your STUPID cousin waited until my sleeping wore off at 2 am to come to bed... *frowny face*

5:24 am

stidmama

and good morning! :-)

5:25 am

stidmama

that's sleeping "pill" *sigh* the body is awake but the mind is less so.

5:25 am

Uneaixoise

your hubby is her cousin?

5:25 am

stidmama

yep. which makes us cousins too! really cool, we "bumped" into each other right here

5:25 am

Scrabbler

Well, I woke up at 5:50 AM and gave up trying to go back to sleep, so I fed the bunnies, checked e-mail and here I am.

5:25 am

Uneaixoise

too funny!

5:26 am

stidmama

so I never did learn why gandalf apparently doesn't like carrots?

5:26 am

Scrabbler

So, let me guess, Tom is sound asleep, right?

5:26 am

stidmama

yep. sleeping like a baby.

5:27 am

stidmama

woo-hoo for me, just got the sp8/65!

5:27 am

Uneaixoise

my insane dog woke me up at 4:00 seemingly frantic to go outside and when we got there ... just sniffing grass ...aaarrrggghhh

5:27 am

Atalante

hate it when men do that! wake you up then sleeeeeep

5:27 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies each have their own personalities and preferences. I typed wrong the other day, as i was working on my German with Inge. Tucker is the one that does not like carrots, or endive. Gandalf is not fond of greens, but likes carrots. They all love bananas, although I have told them that bunnies do not eat bananas in the wild, silly wabbits!

5:28 am

stidmama

rofl... oh man, that is only too familiar Uneaixoise. We live in deer/bear/raccoon/possum territory!

5:28 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!

5:28 am

Atalante

my dog will eat *anything* except bananas

5:29 am

stidmama

*grin* I see, picky eaters! when we had the rabbits they LOVED fresh-picked raspberry leaves. I wish they hadn't gotten sick and died. :-(

5:29 am

MonkeyGames

Can anyone clue things to do with the upper right I?

5:29 am

Scrabbler

Did the raspberry leaves kill them?

5:29 am

stidmama

Monkey: "the broad, upper portion of either hipbone"

5:30 am

Uneaixoise

IL4/4

5:30 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, duh! Thank you!

5:30 am

Uneaixoise

and adj il5

5:31 am

Scrabbler

TY--i = 2/3

5:31 am

MonkeyGames

Yup, got them both from the clue. Should have seen it myself.

5:31 am

Scrabbler

I mean2/2

5:31 am

stidmama

no, it was december and we had a bad storm (we kept them outside most of the year) and I didn't realize their feed had gotten contaminated with something. I felt so awful about it - they were rescued from the same folks as our little dog

5:31 am

Scrabbler

:(

5:32 am

Scrabbler

I just saw the gerund endING here again---lots of words with it?

5:32 am

stidmama

how can there possibly be nine more C words?

5:33 am

stidmama

I have only found two with that ending so far scrabbler...

5:33 am

MonkeyGames

I do not see a lot of ing words. Not sure I've entered any at all, for that matter. Is it just me?

5:33 am

Uneaixoise

scrabbler 5 for me so far (halfway)

5:34 am

Uneaixoise

9 more, stid? i've only GOT 9 ! LOL

5:34 am

stidmama

I just reached halfway also! *and they're neck and neck at the halfway pole, only 100 more meters to go... looks like Uneaixoise is pulling ahead, stidmama is lagging behind. But wait! who's this coming up on the inside rail?...*

5:34 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!!

5:35 am

Scrabbler

It's Scrabbler, but she is 50 laps behind!

5:35 am

stidmama

:-D

5:36 am

Uneaixoise

one more "ing" word .>>

5:36 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, well, you folks watch out for me... I got a real head start and now am wandering aimlessly and riderless around the track generally getting in the way.

5:36 am

stidmama

FIVE "ing" words? are you SURE? LOL

5:36 am

Uneaixoise

6!

5:36 am

stidmama

*sigh* my monkeys are on strike apparently.

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Poor MonkeyGames.

5:37 am

Atalante

I've got10 :P

5:37 am

Uneaixoise

have they had their coffee??

5:37 am

Scrabbler

I found the sneeze sound--it was accepted. :)

5:37 am

Uneaixoise

Ata!

5:37 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, I'll live. I just wish I was burning through this at a furious pace instead of pecking along brokenly, because either way I really have to stop soon and get back on the packing.

5:38 am

stidmama

COFFEE!!!! *decides to make real coffee in the morning*

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Are you going away?

5:38 am

stidmama

so what is the new place going to be like, monkey?

5:38 am

MonkeyGames

We are moving about a mile to a nice place, with no psycho landlady.

5:39 am

Uneaixoise

cool!

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Good choice. Psychos need to be avoided, but I work with 2.

5:40 am

stidmama

99 bottles of babble in the grid, 99 bottles of babble...

5:40 am

MonkeyGames

The new place is a hair smaller than here but has one more room, so my husband can have an office again and smoke indoors, and it is in MUCH better shape. We looked at tiny run down places in the middles of industrial terrains, etc., and it's just coincidence that this place turned up. It is directly above a butcher too, a real plus!

5:40 am

Scrabbler

I have 162 to go

5:40 am

Atalante

75 words of randomness sitting in the grid, 75 words of randomness ...

5:41 am

Atalante

not sure what it says about me but i keep seeing erotica in the grid

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Randomness, disuse, archaic-ness, oddness...and some probably completely made up

5:41 am

stidmama

I think sometimes better "flow" and storage in a house trumps space...

5:41 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, our landlady has some REAL issues, I believe is the polite way to say it. She's been trying fro a year to throw us out illegally, and she has broken windows and thrown our bikes in teh canal and her husband atatcked me while I was holding little Walter. Now her ex is suing her for the house and we aren't allowed to pay the rent to anyone at all, so she's flipped out again. Three more weeks, three more weeks...

5:42 am

Scrabbler

with no R in the grid, that does say something, I think

5:42 am

stidmama

well I keep trying "neigh" and it just won't take!

5:42 am

Scrabbler

Wow, MG, that IS real psycho! Have the police been informed?

5:43 am

MonkeyGames

There is one word that is slang for "but of course"; everyone got that?

5:43 am

Uneaixoise

good grief, monkey!!!

5:43 am

Uneaixoise

the na5?

5:43 am

stidmama

Monkey, I hope the next few weeks will pass quickly and uneventfully...

5:43 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, we have scrupulously filed reports with the police and we have a great relationship here with our, what's the English, well, teh cop who deals exclusively with this neighborhood. Real nice lady.

5:44 am

stidmama

ooh! thanks for that one!

5:44 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, the na5.

5:45 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

5:45 am

MonkeyGames

At the moment the landlady is being pretty quiet because the cop has rather strong-armed her into leaving us alone. But I have it on good authority that as soon as we're out she'll be filing for damages and sayingw e trashed the place, so obviously the day BEFORE we give the keys back we will be taking pictures and sending them to the neighborhood cop, and ideally have her in for a look around.

5:45 am

stidmama

hey Lori!

5:45 am

Haz1558

Good morning Lori. Be afraid, be very afraid.

5:46 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, nasty grid.

5:46 am

LoriP

Uh Oh. Haz has given me the Defcon 3 alert. Not good......

5:46 am

Atalante

you'll be praying for re's soon ...

5:46 am

stidmama

it's not _that_ bad, is it? I am at 107 listless and sleepless...

5:46 am

MonkeyGames

I only have three q's

5:46 am

Haz1558

I thought forewarned is forearmed.

5:46 am

LoriP

***ponders the merits of being a Babble quitter***

5:47 am

stidmama

you aren't a quitter if you haven't started yet...

5:47 am

Uneaixoise

5 here

5:47 am

LoriP

Yikes Atlante! It must be bad.

5:47 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, hit return toos oon. Can anyone help me with the q's that are not silence, stop, or more so?

5:47 am

Haz1558

Atalante, have you got your 9's?

5:47 am

stidmama

I have 4 Q...

5:47 am

Atalante

2 of the 3

5:48 am

LoriP

There are 7 qu's

5:48 am

Haz1558

There are Spanish farms to be found...

5:48 am

Uneaixoise

qu + what a rash makes you do

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I stepped away--hello Lori & Hazel

5:49 am

MonkeyGames

Akkk, replaced all my Spanish with Dutch! Rash? Working on all these...

5:49 am

LoriP

***Dons helmet, grabs sword of invincibility, and dives in***

5:49 am

stidmama

another one for the record books, Une!

5:49 am

Haz1558

qu7 - arranged in groups of five.

5:49 am

stidmama

go Lori go!

5:49 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, the rash one sounds a bit like the Harry Potter game, right?

5:49 am

Haz1558

Hello Scrabbler.

5:49 am

MonkeyGames

Groups of five. Working.

5:49 am

Uneaixoise

oohh, tx haz

5:50 am

LoriP

Hey Scrabbler, delayed g'd morning to ya'.

5:50 am

stidmama

that was a qu7, yes? thanks!

5:50 am

Atalante

Spanish farms? hmmmm

5:50 am

Haz1558

Yes, qu7/40 is the groups of five.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

I need 1 more Q--I have qu4 x 2, qu 5 x 2, qu6 and qu7

5:51 am

Uneaixoise

we both need another q6

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Is it the Spanish farm one?

5:52 am

stidmama

Scrabbler: omelet?

5:52 am

stidmama

as in, real men don't eat qu6

5:52 am

Atalante

qu6s - flan things or short form of Harry Potter broomstick game

5:52 am

MonkeyGames

Not getting the groups of 5. Just dense today.

5:52 am

stidmama

I only just found it...

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

doh!!

5:52 am

Haz1558

qu7 - one of five children born at once consumed food.

5:53 am

Uneaixoise

good one haz!

5:53 am

Haz1558

One of the names someone has suggested for featherbeee's baby is there - female version (not Percival)

5:53 am

Scrabbler

TY Stid--that was the one

5:53 am

Haz1558

ig7/36 that is

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Wow, that is a word, Hazel--how did you know?

5:53 am

LoriP

I want halogen! I want it! I want it! I want it!

5:54 am

Atalante

Haz Knows

5:54 am

stidmama

wow haz thanks for that one...

5:54 am

Scrabbler

You may have it, Lori, now please sit down so we can move ahead with today's lesson

5:54 am

Haz1558

I've resorted to 'other resources'. My vocabulary doesn't stretch to this grid!

5:55 am

MonkeyGames

OK, got that q. Still stuck on the Spanish farms one...

5:56 am

stidmama

is the spanish farms a 9?

5:56 am

Haz1558

ha8/55 and ha9/72

5:57 am

stidmama

gracias, Haz! like a the big house on the ranchero!

5:57 am

Uneaixoise

ooohhh

5:57 am

Haz1558

Si. (My Spanish is rusty, but I do remember that!)

5:57 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, thought it was supposed to be a q word! THIS wqord I know!

5:58 am

Atalante

oh! yay! ty :)

5:58 am

stidmama

I found the cockney pronunciation for the letter H...

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

yep

5:58 am

Haz1558

There's another version of the lo6/30, open porch - just change the usual vowel at the end.

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Help on the Spanish word, please.

5:59 am

MonkeyGames

I still need qu 6/33, the one that is not like the Harry Potter game.

5:59 am

Atalante

apparently my cat requires cuddling. I'd better go and cuddle her. back later!

5:59 am

Haz1558

I suppose I'd better try.....

5:59 am

stidmama

Scrabbler: ha + s***ce (biology, physics, etc) + russian "yes"; then plural

5:59 am

Scrabbler

"goeth" is not a word, as in, this grid maketh me goeth insane

6:00 am

Haz1558

But no need!

6:00 am

MonkeyGames

Been tried. Sad, eh?

6:00 am

Scrabbler

TY, Stid.

6:00 am

stidmama

and that should be four * in the middle of that clue, btw...

6:00 am

stidmama

later atalante!

6:01 am

MonkeyGames

I just enter a lot of nonsense when I have no idea what I'm doing. So far this has produced a few words. Sigh.

6:01 am

LoriP

Later Atlaante

6:01 am

Scrabbler

My stratgey as well, MG, LOL

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Now that it is light outside, I see more snow falling. We are going to have a white Easter.

6:02 am

MonkeyGames

There's a t4 that looks like the first half of a particle that travels simultaneously backeard and forward through time. One of my favorite subatomic units, but I had no idea the first 4 letters was a word on its own.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

I have yet to choose a favorite subatomic particle. I am 47--am I old enough to do that?

6:03 am

stidmama

thanks for that one, Monkey!

6:04 am

stidmama

oh Scrabbler, that's awful! it was warm enough tonight that I decided to leave the plants outside (I am getting ready to reintroduce the geraniums to the garden...)

6:04 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I'm 38 and have narrowed it down to a few. Gotta love them strange quarks, but the Higg's Bozon is a clear winner at the moment...

6:04 am

stidmama

I don't know Scrabbler, you may need a few more years under you belt before you can be sure.

6:05 am

stidmama

I just love any word that I can recognize today.

6:05 am

Uneaixoise

i put plants out last week and have brought everything back in!

6:05 am

MonkeyGames

We're having a bizarrely nice day here. Lemme just go check the Haarlem weather page and I'll tell you how unseasonably warm it is here. The park out the window looks great even if the daffodils ARE starting tofade...

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I am reading about subatomic particles on Google--fascinating. How do I decide which one to be attracted to, MG?

6:05 am

stidmama

I like gluons... they sound "craft-y"

6:06 am

Scrabbler

How about Tau antineutrino?

6:07 am

MonkeyGames

Well, the one mentioned earlier can travel back and forth in time, so that's cool, but then there are ones that we haven't even found yet, like gluons that theoretically explain gravity, so THERE'S something, but then there's the one the word for which escaopes me: if you turn this one around three times you get to the orignal face. That's all the way around, ad three times. I mean, what the $Â£"!!!? is with that???

6:07 am

stidmama

that sounds cool, too. *off to look up what it does*

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Coffee refill anyone? Stid---another sleeping pill?

6:08 am

MonkeyGames

We toured a particle accellerator a few years ago. I highly recommend that.

6:08 am

LoriP

I'll take everything you got please Scrabbler! ***holds out coffee cup, and hand, for pills*** :)

6:08 am

stidmama

LOL no, I need to be awake by 7 ... I can't afford to sleep now. :-(

6:08 am

Uneaixoise

80 to go . . . BBL

6:09 am

stidmama

later Uneaixoise!

6:09 am

LoriP

LAter Une

6:09 am

stidmama

(81 here, and holding)

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Aw, Stid--you are going to stay awake?

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

They teleported a proton recently. Looks like there's a chance the Future may happen after all.

6:09 am

stidmama

didn't one of the big european particle accelerators have a break-down this week? something about one of the magnets shattered.

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yeah, and they can slow down light now. I mean WAY down.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Lori--here's the coffee, a bit strong today. Perhaps Callie Bunny put an extra scoop in the coffee maker.

6:10 am

MonkeyGames

Akkk, toddlers make one get behind on the news. I'll be looking that up for a few minutes. Back soon.

6:10 am

stidmama

I think I have to, Scrabbler -- it's going to make my whole day really hard but I if I go to sleep now I'll be too groggy to drive the car to the shop

6:10 am

rolin

afternoon all...monkey..i looked up your fav subatomic particle..thanks for the word..

6:10 am

Scrabbler

You WILL nap later, I hope.

6:11 am

LoriP

G'd morning rolin

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Rolin

6:11 am

Haz1558

Okay - taking a break, 45 to go but they'll have to wait for later. Bye!

6:11 am

rolin

LoriP

Later Haz!

6:11 am

It was the "Large Hadron Collider" in Switzerland, Monkey

6:12 am

stidmama

bye haz, thanks for the help

6:12 am

Alleyn

i'm Alice alleyns grandaughter and am stuck on the 9's, any help?

6:12 am

MonkeyGames

Yup, I see it. Fermilab. Those magnets are even bigger than the ones I looked at ! Wow!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am not a napper, although I wish I could take short power naps. I must be lacking in some subatomic particles that teleport me to REM sleep.

6:12 am

rolin

i have the in9 and ha..what am i missing?

6:12 am

MonkeyGames

Bye, HAz!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Alice!

6:13 am

Scrabbler

You can save the web page off line, but I believe it uses server-side Java to run, so it won't actually do anything offline

6:46 am

lynxxx

TY Lori - I always look for that animal - and tonite I don't and it's there!

kiddo, you can learn just like we did, "monkey" it. open lickety's list, see that there are words that start with the two letters and have X letters total, then just try all kinds of combos

10:22 am

flosey

not a lot of kids in the game jc but it is a game that helps expand your knowledge of words - and some pretty wierd words at that

10:22 am

sherb

are you in the UK? ...you could try the BBC website... they have games for younger players...

10:22 am

hurshy

at least you can spell, that gives you an advantage over other kids...

10:22 am

periwinkle

bbl

10:23 am

sherb

not that you have to be in the Uk to do that...

10:23 am

Jc28

me and my friends do this

10:23 am

kc8501

you'll get better after time

10:23 am

instantfame

185 down... bleh

10:24 am

flosey

off for breakfast and errands, bbl

10:24 am

o-o

take care, flosey

10:24 am

Haz1558

Bye flosey.

10:24 am

sherb

schadenfreude... I know this must be bad when instantfame hasn't finished yet... ;)

10:25 am

sherb

you and your friends do what?

10:25 am

instantfame

hehe

10:25 am

hurshy

any po8?

10:25 am

instantfame

its going to take me about 90 minutes if im lucky

10:25 am

Angela

bye flosey

10:25 am

Jc28

we do babble

10:25 am

o-o

yep

10:25 am

hurshy

clue?

10:25 am

hurshy

(or clues if 2)

10:26 am

Jc28

we like babble alot

10:26 am

o-o

po 8 is the one that allegedly represents the body po 7

10:26 am

hurshy

i am SO STUPID i tried that with an a before, ah what a dolt

10:26 am

sherb

think White House aides... Downing Street advisers... etc...

10:27 am

hurshy

i only have one po5, this seems odd to me...

10:27 am

sherb

maybe you like it in class, but it's not the same when you're playing on your own...

10:27 am

Jc28

I like it are you saying that i should not play

10:28 am

Haz1558

This is an odd grid, hurshy, just one po5.

10:28 am

o-o

5 po 4; 1 po 5; 2 po 6; 3 po 7; 1 po 8

10:28 am

Jc28

I have 15 words all on my own Iam smart

10:28 am

hurshy

we are happy for you to play if you like, jc, we are just telling you that we aren't going to just randomly tell you words, and that you should only play if you can enjoy it under those conditions

10:28 am

anike

Can anyone help me with the ni 7 - I'm just not seeing it

10:28 am

hurshy

ah, i need another 7

10:29 am

sherb

no... but if you're going to play, it's no use just asking people to give you words... the whole point of the game is to look for them, or use the clues in the chat log...

10:29 am

Sam

maybe the chatterbox should be limited to pro players?

10:29 am

Haz1558

anike - n, then what looks like a poorly spelt adjective for what a rash makes you.

10:29 am

Jc28

ok

10:29 am

pabtrek

don't say that sam

10:29 am

hurshy

we've run the idea of 2 chatterboxes by doc before, i think...

10:29 am

Angelsong

Fireworks!

10:29 am

Angela

that wouldn't be much fun for the non trolls

10:30 am

Haz1558

Sam, there's no problem with non-Pro players bar the occasional difficult few.

10:30 am

pabtrek

congrats Angelsong

10:30 am

Angela

congrats angel

10:30 am

o-o

congrats, Angelsong

10:30 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Angelsong.

10:30 am

Sam

it would defeat the handle-switchers and eliminate the troll traffic

10:30 am

hurshy

yeah the 2 chatterbox idea was more for like - people who don't want to see easy clues vs people who do or whatever

10:31 am

anike

TY Haz - I now have Fireworks and can go to bed. I tried to get through without asking for clues but I failed

10:31 am

hurshy

but it would also defeat the poor college students

10:31 am

Jc28

are all you guys grown ups?

10:31 am

pabtrek

congrats anike

10:31 am

Haz1558

Well done anike - sleep the sleep of the content!

10:31 am

Angela

yeah, but then people wouldn't be able to see how nice we pro players are :)

10:31 am

Angela

yay anike!

10:31 am

Atalante

I'm back :)

10:32 am

Sam

maybe non-pros could read but not post?

10:32 am

sherb

yes Jc, we're all grown ups... but younger people do play too...

10:32 am

Angela

hello atalante

10:32 am

hurshy

hey ata :) :)

10:32 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

10:32 am

hurshy

no, we like a lot of our non-pros

10:32 am

Flask1

Hi all.......a clue please for ha9?

10:32 am

hurshy

and there are a lot of times when pros are irksome

10:32 am

instantfame

finally finished... only 80 minutes heh

10:32 am

o-o

po 7 -- the poker ante goes in the po* and the last 3 of the raw fish word

10:32 am

hurshy

it's really not a good dividing line

10:32 am

sherb

I don't think we should have restrictions on who can post, or what they can post...

10:32 am

Angela

i don't know...seems a bit elitist to me...

10:32 am

Haz1558

Hello Flask! I had been worried about you when you didn't show up for ages. Glad you're okay.

10:33 am

Sam

it's about knowing who's who, is all, so the same trolls can't keep coming back

10:33 am

Angela

hey flask

10:33 am

o-o

congrats, instantfame

10:33 am

Flask1

Hi Haz!.......am well thanks.....just having some quiet time!

10:33 am

anike

TY all. I was disappointed earlier today when I lost my broadband connection 20 minutes B4 flip and had to miss my last 10 words. Had to redeem myself tonite

10:33 am

sherb

hi Flask :)

10:33 am

Jc28

I will not do the chat box I will leave it for the pros!!

10:33 am

hurshy

doc blocks trolls IP addresses not their handles, anyway

10:33 am

Kazzer99

hi all - jc most of us are grownups. I also think that anyone should be able to post provided it doesn't get too rude or confrontational

10:33 am

Haz1558

ha9 is a plural Spanish word relating to farmhouses etc.

10:33 am

Angela

i don't know...the occaisional troll is kind of ammusing

10:34 am

hurshy

brabs - confused - that only seems to be 6 letters and "shi" isn't even there...

10:34 am

Sam

unless you're a goat

10:34 am

hurshy

ohh i figured it out

10:34 am

I wanted to give you a chance of a lightbulb moment! You want a breakdown of the word?

10:36 am

Jc28

sorry I was just trying to help ypou guys

10:36 am

sherb

Jc - please don't post words in the chat log

10:36 am

Haz1558

(The troll points are mounting, slowly, just like the words in the grid)

10:36 am

Jc28

why

10:36 am

Flask1

yes please!!!

10:37 am

Jc28

i am sorry

10:37 am

hurshy

because we LIKE to FIND the words OURSELVES

10:37 am

Atalante

because it makes the game uninteresting

10:37 am

hurshy

my sp's are all normal so far, any weird ones?

10:37 am

Jc28

I have one that gave me 27 points sponge

10:38 am

10:39 am

Jc28

10:41 am

sherb

10:41 am

Jc28

10:42 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula!

10:42 am

Jc28

that hurts

10:42 am

sherb

you're becoming more like a troll :(

10:42 am

hurshy

you are not listening to what we ask you (nicely) to do and not do, and you are being generally rude.

10:43 am

Jc28

I am not that short

10:43 am

Atalante

10:43 am

Jc28

10:43 am

hurshy

well, who's volunteering

10:44 am

cybernan

JC -- if you are going to play in a game with adults, then you should act with more maturity if you want to be accepted. Did no one ever teach you that it is rude to ask a lady her age? or don't you care about being rude?

10:44 am

hurshy

ah thanks brabble all i could think before was despoil

10:44 am

Jc28

i promis to do what you say

10:45 am

hurshy

peri to get rid of dead skin cells you exf****** - rhymes with that

10:45 am

cybernan

10:46 am

periwinkle

10:46 am

periwinkle

10:46 am

Jacula

Hmm. Think I'll come back later. *picks up pruners and heads back to garden*

10:48 am

KnightTime

10:52 am

Takuma Sato

I'd have thought that if you could be uncooth, you should at least have the option to be cooth

10:53 am

Haz1558

sp8/45 - use the letters of a word meaning to destroy, wreck or taint (as in food) but switch round the order of the last two letters. Then add the consumed food ending.

10:53 am

hurshy

uncouth

10:53 am

Takuma Sato

would someone please give a clue why I should know Lionel and nicole?

11:12 am

Angela

lionel actually doesn't spell it with a "t"...

11:12 am

pigeonman

sp8? It's the only 8 I'm missing. Have a feeling it's an easy one but it's evading me.

11:12 am

majmom

ty takuma

11:12 am

Takuma Sato

I thought it was accompanied by an eye-roll at the thought of Lionel and Nicole ;)

11:12 am

Dippnall

good clue, though

11:12 am

hurshy

lionel sang "loooooooooove - i'll be a foooooool for youuuu..." endless love

11:12 am

Haz1558

Lionel is a well known singer. Nicole is..... how do you describe someone with no talent who is famous for that quality?

11:12 am

cybernan

ty angela but have no idea who you are talking aobut

11:12 am

hurshy

and nicole is on again off again friends with paris hilton, had or has a show with her

11:12 am

majmom

cating

11:13 am

Takuma Sato

cnan: the word also rhymes with the feeling you have when you need to scratch

11:13 am

sherb

nan hasn't heard of Paris Hilton...

11:13 am

Angela

he sang with the commodores in the 70s if you want to google it

11:13 am

Scarlet

Haz, it's the Paris Hilton syndrome... famous for being famous... talent has nothing to do with it

11:13 am

cybernan

ty takuma

11:13 am

majmom

sorry-no good anywat lol

11:13 am

Dippnall

lionel - singer / nicole - extremely thin

11:13 am

Haz1558

I know, Scarlet - it's ghastly.

11:13 am

cybernan

don't pay any attention to the rags, so that's probably my problem!

th5/16?

2:04 pm

abe79

Yes- I'm going to be an ESL teacher. I'm researching mainly students who are not native English speakers. The main legistlation is No Child Left Behind Act, but I'm also looking at the situation as a whole, in the past 30 or so years

2:05 pm

cybernan

Isn't that Act designed to provide extra assistance for those in need?

2:05 pm

cybernan

has it not been positive?

2:06 pm

sprite

wb Aloy!

2:06 pm

abe79

cybernan- yes it is. but a lot of students fall through the cracks, esp. with all the standardized testing, and I want to see why. it has been positive in many ways, but i guess there is always room for improvement

2:06 pm

abe79

th 5/16- like an object, change the vowel and rearrange the last two letters

2:07 pm

If her tail doesn't seem straight, you may have hurt it. If it's broken, it would be crooked.

well, some eggs have hairline cracks before you even start so if they do there's nothing you can do to keep 'em whole. Otherwise, start with water and eggs at same temp, bring to boil, plunge into cold water immediately is what my mother does

8:35 pm

make sure your water is not warmer than your eggs. also don't crowd them in the pot. they shouldn't crack then

Never boil eggs. It makes them rubbery.
Use older eggs. Fresh ones won't peel properly.
To keep eggs from cracking while cooking, pierce large end with a needle, which will also make them easier to peel.
