12:33 am

herinfernallady

I do hope that this rain hits the farmers as they need it

12:33 am

common greeting this time of year, sprite

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

I agree sprite... feeling more like Christmas since we were dumped with 15+ inches of snow

1:41 am

FranMag

jilli, you and dc had the same thought

1:41 am

sprite

you mean you already say the wishes before Xmas? We don't, that is funny!

1:41 am

herinfernallady

SPrite how are you

1:42 am

dcseain

indeed we do, sprite, for a couple weeks before.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

yes we say Merry Christmas throughout December

1:42 am

Neat icon and clue jilli

1:42 am

How about happy Yule?

i think it's in case you don't see that person on the day. :-)

1:43 am

sprite

not too bad, lady. Still fighting with the puter, but feeling like I am healing very slowly and steadily. Will take lots of time, I know, but I really start feeling that improvement IS possible AND coming along.

1:43 am

dcseain

merry/happy xmas/yule or good yule. though merry xmas is most common.

1:43 am

dcseain

happy holidays common too.

1:43 am

Frances

Yours too dc

1:43 am

jillibus

ty, frances -- got yours a while ago -- nice pairs :)

1:43 am

dcseain

glad ur progressing w/it, sprite :)

1:43 am

herinfernallady

That is good Sprite. Baby steps work

1:44 am

jillibus

oh rats, dc -- you got the same bldy word and I thought I'd be really exclusive!

1:44 am

sprite

that is really interesting, the difference I mean. We could say: 'Well, if I don't see you anymore before Xmas, have a good holiday etc.' But not just like: Merry Xmas! That is only on the Xmas days itself.

1:45 am

dcseain

we chose very different images, though jilli. i looked up the word, and was fascinated.

1:45 am

sprite

jilli and dc, does that word ever start c?

1:45 am

dcseain

different, but similar, game, sprite, does, and ends with a t.

1:45 am

jillibus

me too, dc -- didn't find an image of the real thing

1:45 am

dcseain

ro gome derived from cr game.

*grins at Dee*
Well, I guess that would sound silly even where you live!

1:46 am

1:48 am

jillibus

wel, dc, you dun good finding that pic

1:48 am

Frances

Totally confused on the lickety clues page. Has the correct word count at the top but showing words from yesterday! How can that be? I've tried refreshing several times.

1:48 am

dcseain

"cause we need a little xmas, right this very minute!" people always forget that that is a midsummer song.

1:48 am

1:48 am

aw dc, that is a sweet song!

1:49 am

1:52 am

sprite

lol dc, here is some smoked salmon

1:53 am

jillibus

made me look and find it, dc -- ty

1:53 am

dcseain

1:53 am

jillibus

I mean the un6 -- don't have the tr8

1:54 am

VolleymomDee

donkey in Shrek 3 says... If the kids don't like their presents, give 'em some waffles LOL

1:54 am

jillibus

mmm, smoked salmon...

1:54 am

sprite

I have a question: isnÂ´t there a word with a meaning like wanting to fight... like querule or querrule?

1:54 am

FranMag

woo hoo! found the tr8

1:55 am

sprite

oh Dee, there is coming a special Xmas Shrek edition on TV here!

1:55 am

dcseain

*sets out some cream cheese with the smoked salmon, a tray of bagels, and a toaster*

1:55 am

FranMag

quarrel?

1:55 am

dcseain

quarrel, sprite.

1:55 am

jillibus

querulous, but not that meaning at all

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

querrelous? ... not sure how to spell... brb

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

what is meaning of that word jil...

1:56 am

jillibus

be right over, dc *drool*

1:56 am

sprite

ahhhhh hence the confusion. Quarrel, yes that was the meaning, and querulous or something like that, was the word I was phantoming.

1:56 am

sprite

thanks for putting me out of my misery, guys, it was bugging me, with that zero Q square

1:56 am

herinfernallady

DC isnt that Tr 8 the Brooklyn way of saying pants?

FranMag

thanks for the un6 dc!

1:57 am

sprite

*on her way to dc and jilli too*

1:57 am

VolleymomDee

querulous - full of complaints; complaining

1:57 am

dcseain

my grandparents used that word, but we spellit with a u here.

1:57 am

dcseain

grandparents from Cleveland, OHio.

1:57 am

sprite

yayyyy Dee, that is the one! I have come across it in books.

1:58 am

dcseain

my mom used to use it, but stopped sometime around 1980.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

can't believe I didn't remember the def LOL

1:58 am

FranMag

what's funny dc, is if you spell it with a U, the singular works!

1:58 am

dcseain

my uncle in cleveland still uses it. so i guess it's regional.

1:58 am

jillibus

also peevish, says my Little Oxford Dictionary

1:58 am

FranMag

(the tr8 word that is)

1:59 am

VolleymomDee

that makes sense jili

1:59 am

dcseain

yeah, i didn't try the plural here because the singular didn't work. *shrug*

1:59 am

sprite

thanks all :D
God I LOVE this site

1:59 am

dcseain

only tried the plural due to inerstection of list and frances.

1:59 am

FranMag

the Kosraean word for pants is derived from that tr8, but it sounds completely different

herinfernallady

Go jilli its no big race

2:17 am

cybernan

I gave up with 23 to go and went to lickety's list -- would never have finished otherwise

2:17 am

jillibus

ha -- that celtic language plural is here (the singular is not allowed, go figure)

2:18 am

jillibus

right, herin -- I enjoy the company as much as the game -- maybe more

2:19 am

herinfernallady

These days i just poke at the grid

2:19 am

sprite

what does that celtic language start with, jilli, please?

2:19 am

FranMag

are you talking about er5/10 jilli?

2:19 am

jillibus

es, sprite

2:20 am

jillibus

yes, I mean er5/10

2:20 am

jillibus

ugh -- half alseep

2:20 am

sprite

S, es, er or R? *totally confused now*

2:21 am

FranMag

er5/10 sprite

2:21 am

jillibus

the celtic language plural is er5/10

2:21 am

sprite

thanks jilli

2:21 am

jillibus

sorry for the confusion

2:21 am

sprite

and Fran. Got it, I think :)

2:22 am

sprite

confusion is good. That is where wisdom starts.

2:22 am

jillibus

golly, that sounds confucian, lol

2:23 am

dcseain

confusion! YAY!

2:23 am

FranMag

i didn't know what the word was, but jilli complains about that one every time. :-)

2:24 am

sprite

see... QED. Confused Confucius confounded us all, and then the wisdom started

2:24 am

FranMag

phantom: stress!

2:24 am

jillibus

yes indeedy, fran, and at least this time the pl is there and works (no definition given, tho)

2:24 am

sprite

oh, I am okay with that remaining a phantom forever, Fran!

2:25 am

jillibus

hoser should be allowed

2:25 am

herinfernallady

This is interesting. There has been many bad reports on Chrisco hampers and i can safely say i am glad i didn't do that this year

2:26 am

dcseain

yes it should, jilli!

2:26 am

FranMag

what's a chrisco hamper?

2:26 am

sprite

I agree, jilli!

2:30 am

herinfernallady

Ok sorry my bad. You get this catalog of stuff manly food and now toys and alcohol. You choose what hamper you want and every week the co takes money out of your account. Some hampers are worth $2000. People haven't received stuff and i thought it was all a bit of media fluff but just looking on line and its really sad

2:31 am

sprite

like saving for Xmas the whole year and then getting nothing?

2:31 am

FranMag

hmm, interesting infernal

2:32 am

herinfernallady

Yes thats right sprite.

2:32 am

sprite

that s*cks

2:32 am

herinfernallady

Its really

2:32 am

lizmac

Quick dip in. Happened here last year, people lost a LOT of money.

2:32 am

FranMag

hi liz!

2:32 am

sprite

hi liz

2:33 am

dcseain

i wonder what's up. hi, liz.

2:33 am

herinfernallady

Liz was with that Crisco or Castle>

2:33 am

lizmac

Just on my way to bed, but bbl.

2:33 am

jillibus

so many ways people get cheated -- horrible

2:33 am

lizmac

Farepack hampers.

2:33 am

FranMag

bye liz!

2:33 am

jillibus

hi liz

2:34 am

sprite

scammers are everywhere

2:34 am

herinfernallady

Ok

2:35 am

lizmac

They just went out of business weeks before Christmas. Government did a little to help and charities were set up...but people still lost most of their savings.

2:36 am

sprite

well, we are short on money this year, because of my illness, drop in pay and a lot of unexpected financial crises, so we take it very easy. And I bet we will have as much fun as we would having expensive dinners and all.

2:36 am

sprite

sounds criminal to me, liz!

2:36 am

dcseain

probably so, sprite.

2:36 am

dcseain

unethical, at best.

2:36 am

lizmac

Fortunately, I was never tempted to save that way as I didn't like half the stuff they had!!

2:37 am

sprite

oh, dc, that U word you wanted a fish for... try it starting R!

2:37 am

dcseain

ah, like stockings :)

2:37 am

dcseain

or ho4

2:37 am

dcseain

ty, sprite

2:38 am

sprite

yw :) Lucky monkey at this end, lol.

2:38 am

lizmac

I don't think it was entirely deliberate, they'd been going for years without any problems. Extremely unfortunate either way.

2:38 am

FranMag

thanks sprite!

2:39 am

lizmac

Anyway, I'm off to bed...laters folks.

2:39 am

dcseain

fascinating variant on what we call a Christmas Club here. Christmas Clubs are specialized savings accounts offered by banks and credit unions (savings societes) in the US.

2:39 am

FranMag

ooh, S works too sprite!

2:39 am

sprite

oh wow Fran, thanks!

2:39 am

herinfernallady

There is about 30 000 people affected. The rude thing is the company had a sale for its staff today and people are still waiting.

2:39 am

FranMag

bye liz!

2:40 am

dcseain

g'ngiht liz, sleep well!

2:40 am

sprite

night liz

2:42 am

sprite

If I would make an icon clue today, IÂ´d go for the blue su5 shoes from Elvis, and plural :)

2:42 am

herinfernallady

DC we have it here to savings accounts locked in till Christmas. I have got the catalog and looking at them but its really sad

2:42 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! how did i miss that?

2:42 am

FranMag

i think i'll change mine to that

2:43 am

sprite

well, I think it is a word that IS easily missed, lol.

2:45 am

FranMag

okay, h**'* this?

2:45 am

dcseain

pretty, fran!

2:45 am

jillibus

well, just got back from a bedtime banana and milk to find great clues -- thanks all!

2:45 am

sprite

almost perfect, Fran. You should add: with compliments from Sprite ;)

2:45 am

FranMag

they're the real deal too!

2:46 am

sprite

they are lovely, btw :D

2:46 am

FranMag

of course sprite. :-)

2:46 am

dcseain

from the smithsonian, fran?

2:46 am

dcseain

i've seen the ruby slippers there, but not those, yet.

2:47 am

sprite

from the King, dc.

2:47 am

dcseain

oh, graceland likely has them, duh.

2:47 am

dcseain

sprite, the Smithsonian is called America's Attic for a reason :)

2:48 am

sprite

lol dc, I bet

2:48 am

sprite

and I could extend that clue: wh5 blue su5 shoes are this? Of course, they are the King's.

2:49 am

dcseain

are these, not this.

2:49 am

jillibus

you beat me to it, dc

2:49 am

sprite

arrgghh of course, sorry

2:49 am

jillibus

great clue, though, sprite

2:50 am

sprite

great cluewise, stupid language-like, lol

2:50 am

jillibus

look at all those re words! And I only have 2. I hate re words

2:51 am

dcseain

i'm short 3 REs.

2:51 am

jillibus

sprite, you are far from stupid language-wise!

2:51 am

dcseain

i agree w/jilli.

2:52 am

sprite

jilli, you can find a whole series if you think of take up needle and thread again. Just keep on changing the vowel and adding that one consonant that makes it into a particle.

2:52 am

jillibus

just got 4 more re words

2:52 am

sprite

thanks for the compliment... I meant the mistake was stupid, not me as a whole :)

2:52 am

jillibus

that's how, sprite, lol

2:55 am

dcseain

LOL started singing and found an RE

2:55 am

lynxxx

Just back in time for that clue Sprite - TY

2:55 am

herinfernallady

Hey lynxx

2:56 am

jillibus

well, the ru words went easily

2:56 am

sprite

and then we have: walk fast again, opp. of buy again and 3rd person singl., put it to good *** again, got a victory again.

2:57 am

sprite

the other re words are not again-words.

2:58 am

jillibus

thanks sprite but I don't get the opp of buy again

2:58 am

sprite

I guess it is not opp. of buy again, but the result of that action...

2:59 am

dcseain

ty, sprite

2:59 am

Frances

I have a question. On my lickety clues page I have the correct word count at the top. However, the words from yesterday are still showing. I've deleted cookies, several times and refreshed, several times and still I show the words from yesterday. Does anyone have another way of getting the clues for today up........please?

2:59 am

sprite

you beat me to it. When you put stuff out in your garage it would be a garage ****. That again. And plural.

2:59 am

dcseain

a thrift shop might have a re**** on it's goods.

3:00 am

dcseain

frances, i bet it IS today's clues, but it has yesterday's words in them. i had that happen once.

3:00 am

jillibus

thanks sprite -- and I finally got that tr8, duh!

3:00 am

sprite

wtg jilli!

3:00 am

dcseain

3:04 am

jillibus

3:05 am

sprite

you look even sweeter when you blush, jilli :)

Aw Frances, glad you found out it is ok!

3:06 am

dcseain

yw, frances. it's no les sfrustrating.

3:06 am

dcseain

the day i had the problem, i went and deleted the prior days words, nad it worked fine

3:07 am

dcseain

it worked fin w/out deletion, but the filled-in already confused me.

3:08 am

FranMag

frances, did you try clearing your cache?

3:09 am

sprite

Hi Herin

6:47 am

carleekat

ok..here is an interesting question... I recently found out that "tinsel' refers to different "things" depending upon where u live...

6:47 am

Becca Lorum

What is it there Carlee?

6:47 am

LoriP

I'm still grappling with this whole "word" metaphor Scrabbler mentioned.

6:48 am

rolin

what else could tinsel be?

6:48 am

carleekat

here wher I am..tinsel is individual threads of "foil" u hang to make look like isicles

6:48 am

carleekat

i think in states..is like foil garland

6:48 am

KatieMcG

It was our Christmas do last night so I will need to sit in the corner being quiet if you don't mind :-)

6:49 am

rolin

naaahh.... tinsel is long strings of fluffy foil

6:49 am

Becca Lorum

Foil garland here too Carlee

6:49 am

8:04 am

montreal13

hi all - TO, was it moving within an Email ??

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

hi monty, yes. came as a .gif and saved as a .gif

8:04 am

dcseain

some animated gifs don't work in babble for some reason.

8:06 am

montreal13

like DC says (Hi DC !) , some animated gifs don't work in Babble for some unknown reason; additionnally, some animated pictures embedded within an email will not move at all once they are copied elsewhere...

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, ty!

8:07 am

dcseain

hola, montreal. Any idea why removing from email might break them? I'm guessing the email may not allow saving all the layers.

8:08 am

72 Temple Owl

phantom: stress. ormaybe not! ; ) i am still not halfway finished shopping mjuch less cleaning

8:08 am

montreal13

think you're right on DC... had some good ones that were animated in the email, thought i could move say to a Word file...nein !!

8:09 am

dcseain

phantom stress is correct.

8:09 am

dcseain

8:13 am

dcseain

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

8:13 am

Jacula

y/w, dcs.

8:13 am

montreal13

8:13 am

dcseain

it's a lizard that disappears into a sandwhich, leaving blinking eyes

8:14 am

dcseain

i thought howser is, but it is enable, after all

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

freeaky! hi jacs!

72 Temple Owl

8:21 am

montreal13

8:22 am

montreal13

hi there Uni !

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

how do you define that?

8:22 am

dcseain

8:22 am

Uniquity

Hey Luc, how goes the snow?

8:22 am

montreal13

8:23 am

Flask1

dcseain

hm. it may in French, i suppose.

8:24 am

8:27 am

dcseain

i remember living in Boston and shovelling from my front yard to the side yard because i was not tall enough to get the snow from the sidewalk to the top by mid-january. i grumbled the whole time. :D

8:27 am

dcseain

E for Evil today, imnsho

8:27 am

montreal13

aahhh the pleasures of winter... (waxing nostalgic...)

8:28 am

raelite

yeah, we had to mow the lawn yesterday ;)

8:28 am

montreal13

Ã§a va bien Rae... except for the amount of shovellling required in the last couple of weeks...

8:29 am

dcseain

yes, it was fun experiencing winter on par with the summers i grew up with, and with which i live
again.

8:29 am

montreal13

mow the lawn !!! "grumble grumble grumble..."

8:29 am

raelite

I remember those days...skiing down the snow banks on our street...snow forts...

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

a clue please for the word from the bottom right corner e?

8:29 am

dcseain

last year we were mowing into mid-January.

8:29 am

raelite

maple syrup hardened in the fresh-fallen snow

8:29 am

dcseain

more than one S, TO

8:29 am

montreal13

an abundance of the letter S TO

8:30 am

montreal13

well, last year, we had no snow till january as well - unusual to say the least...

8:31 am

raelite

indeed, most of my family still lives there...we heard all about it!

8:31 am

Uniquity

Coldest winter in ten years, they claim...

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, tyvm!

8:31 am

dcseain

we had 2 weeks of winter - 14 feb - 28 feb, though the last of the ice in the shade didn't melt till middlemarch.

8:31 am

Jacula

LOL, I do sleep, dcs. *Wipes mouth after eating bacon sandwich.*

8:32 am

nurse1000

TO - have they put all the Christmas lights in town as in the past in Bethlehem? Still put the candles in Moravian college?

8:32 am

dcseain

this year uni? that's what we're expecting here. we often have a good winter in la niÃ±a years.

8:32 am

Buttonman

Mont, I checked out the Cajun origin and you are right, it was from Acadia and Acadian is still used in Louisiana

8:32 am

Uniquity

How went you spaghetti and garlic bread yesterday Jac?

8:32 am

Aloyisius

Hi Babblers! I'm having a bagel with a yummy spicy schmeer.. (-:

8:32 am

dcseain

cajun origin of which button?

8:32 am

raelite

mmm..breakfast...

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

ok, time to get moving. i'm sure allof the parking at the mall was taken hours ago. my only hope is to get a space from a happy, deprating shopper

8:32 am

dcseain

morning, aloy!

8:32 am

Jacula

It went down very well, Uniquity.

8:33 am

dcseain

ciao, TO, have a great day! :)

8:33 am

montreal13

hi there Button ! - the british deported the Acadian in 1755 - most ended up in Louisiana but some also in mass.

8:33 am

Aloyisius

good luck, TO ! howdy, dc..

8:33 am

Takuma Sato

I think it was the origin of 'cajun' (the word)

8:33 am

montreal13

later TO

8:33 am

montreal13

it is TS

8:33 am

raelite

to: good luck!

8:34 am

dcseain

yes, cajun isa corruption of acadien. There's part of SW lousiana known as acadia, where live the cajuns originally.

8:34 am

montreal13

good morning Aloy ! - almost missed you there...

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nurse. yes. and they have a market straight thru from day after thankgiving. www.christkindlmarkt.com

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

or via www.artsquest.com - i get confused

8:35 am

Jacula

I wonder why wh4/9 can't be extended to verb or plural form?

8:35 am

montreal13

ah DC, didn't know there was a part of Louisiana named Acadia...

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

both wrong. www.artsquest.org not com

8:35 am

Uniquity

I didn't know there was a place in Louisianna called Acadia...I come from an Acadian family on my Dad's side, and as I live in NS it is a huge knowledge base.

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

aloy ltns

8:36 am

Uniquity

There's an Acadia here, obviously...didn't know there was another

8:36 am

dcseain

i wondered that too, jac. enables keeps must not be horse people, i guess.

8:36 am

dcseain

Acadia in NB, no?

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

absolutely. and renchis spoken there. wonderful heritage

8:37 am

Uneaixoise

french spoken in Louisiana is veeery different!

8:37 am

Aloyisius

hi, montreal.. lol, I DID miss you!

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i imagine so, une. hi!

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

hey TO!

8:38 am

Krista

Hi all..the word Cajun is a bastardization of the word Acadian.

8:38 am

dcseain

one day, one of dad's nurses, a cajun, turned to me and exclaimed "beau jou me get wawa!" as said in french

8:38 am

montreal13

so i hear Une, a brother of mine was there years ago and couldn't find much french to begin with and when he did, had some trouble understanding it...

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

and NONE of the many many French place names are pronounced "french" LOL

8:38 am

dcseain

literrally "boy, you me get [some] water"

8:38 am

Krista

oh, dc already said that, sorry

8:39 am

Uniquity

I love Acadian french from NS...it's almost all half/half (english/French)...Very easy to follow

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

yet muchof the rich musical heritage is sung in what appears to be french

8:39 am

dcseain

all good , krista, it's always nice to have an add'l source :) single sources generally aren't reliable

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

uni, not at all the case in Louisiana

8:40 am

herinfernallady

rIGHT I AM Back

8:40 am

Uneaixoise

it's a bastardized french . . . don't get me wrong, I like the music a lot but . . .

8:40 am

dcseain

no, the creoles of Louisiana and Haiti are odd. Haiti speaks a blend of French, Spanish and English that is baffling to listen, esp if one speaks all three. Though in Haiti, they call that 'French'.

8:40 am

Uniquity

I would imagine Une, what with the deportation and all...I would change my language like hell to bother everyone

8:40 am

dcseain

wb, lady. boy's alright, is he?

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

dc, i remember being asked to translate letters from Haiti in my old job -- no way!

8:41 am

dcseain

well, uni, french, various African, and english blended in Louisiana.

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

yes, i know

8:41 am

Aloyisius

hi lady, sorry to read of your water damage.. has it stopped raining?

8:41 am

Buttonman

Mont, I had to step away from the computer...thanks for the info...I should have put it together since all my life I have heard about Acadian Festivals and Festivities. Un is right, cajun is very different kind of French, and the music is even more different...

8:42 am

dcseain

and the cajuns gave us zydeco, too :)

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

ok really going now. see you tonight, all. happy babbling

8:42 am

dcseain

g'night TO, enjoy ur day :)

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

i don't think most people realize that there are areas of Louisiana where kids grow up not really speaking "English

8:42 am

Uneaixoise

LOVE zydeco!

8:42 am

montreal13

there is a folk singer from Louisiana - he sings in french and is well known in QuÃ©bec...but, at first, we could hardly make out that he WAS singing in french...lol

8:43 am

Uniquity

Zydeco is fantastic!

8:43 am

dcseain

precisely our point, montreal.

8:43 am

montreal13

zydeco forever !!

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

I have a couple of friends who actually had to learn English in order to get through the standard school system!

8:43 am

dcseain

yes, dad's nurse had to learn standard english in HS so she could go to college.

8:44 am

dcseain

luc, what is the folksinger's name?

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

i can imagine, dc . . .

8:44 am

herinfernallady

well that made my week

8:44 am

Buttonman

Well, enough about Cajuns, I need to get back to the grid...good luck!

8:48 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

Krista

I am in a state of shock. I can't imagine what they are going through. Thank you. If you are the prayerful type, please say one for her family.

8:49 am

phandmd

thnx so much

8:49 am

Jacula

Krista - How awful. So sorry to hear that.

8:49 am

Krista

They are pretty sure it was her ex-husband. He was crazy. She always told them she was afraid he'd kill her.

8:50 am

Krista

It was in Lynchburg, VA..I'm going to see if there was any news about it.

8:50 am

herinfernallady

Where did this happen Krista?

8:50 am

dcseain

well, he's sure to get death penalty there. that circuit court has the 2nd-highest death-row conviction rate in teh commonwealth, behind the Prince William circuit.

8:51 am

herinfernallady

i meant did this just happen? forgive my logic train as its very late

8:51 am

dcseain

yes lady, very very recently.

8:51 am

dcseain

family just got news apparently.

8:51 am

montreal13

well, the name itself "Lynch burg" speaks volume as to it's origin...

8:52 am

Krista

It happened night before last, but I just found out this morning.

8:52 am

dcseain

Daniel Lynch, it's named for. the Lynchs are one of the oldest families here in Virginia.

8:52 am

montreal13

aahhh tx DC, was on wrong track...again...

8:52 am

herinfernallady

Sorry wow ok brain work sorta good now. Krista please take care and tell them half a world away is thinking of them

8:53 am

Krista

Yes, Seain, that's what I've heard. I don't know if they have him in custody or what.

8:54 am

montreal13

adaorable, at first, but gets easier as you get the hang of it and understand the clues given in chat

9:02 am

9:02 am

adorablelila1988

9:03 am

Aloyisius

9:20 am

adorablelila1988

thankyou scahrlet

9:20 am

adorablelila1988

oops i mean scarlet

9:20 am

Aloyisius

hey there, Scarlet! good to see you.. (-:

9:21 am

pabtrek

Hi Scarlet

9:21 am

adorablelila1988

sheesh i seriously do not get the clues...

9:21 am

Scarlet

It's a wonderful site, adora... you will come to love it...'tis okay, I will answer to just about anything! LOL

9:21 am

Scarlet

HI, Aloy... so good to see everyone too!

9:21 am

adorablelila1988

lol i am the same way about answering to anything

9:21 am

pabtrek

pink, hope you get better soon

9:22 am

Scarlet

pab and Aloy... anyone, does everyone have their influenza vaccines already?

9:22 am

adorablelila1988

9:22 am

frantique

9:22 am

Aloyisius

haven't been stuck yet, Scarlet.. you?

9:23 am

pabtrek

9:23 am

pabtrek

strangely enough it didn't bother me and it usually does

9:24 am

adorablelila1988

got the flu... then got the shot

9:24 am

frantique

intersting

9:24 am

Scarlet

Hi, frantique... sorry to hear that... Beloved and I got ours... we ARE over 60 now... LOL. I had mine at a flu-shot clinic that was set up in my local grocery store... otherwise, I never would have done it... it was the easiest shot I've ever taken... (of that kind)... no soreness, no reverbs, no illness... so many are sick, I'm beginning to think it was fate that I got it!

9:24 am

frantique

and this time they didn't ask if I wa allergic to eggs, in stead they asked if i can eat honey

9:25 am

frantique

i'm happy to hear that scarlet :-)

9:25 am

Scarlet

Same here, pabtrek... this one was a breeze. :-) frantique!

9:25 am

Aloyisius

well, ok.. i admit it.. if we had a clinic in our grocery, i would have had the shot.. lately, i practically live at the grocer's, lol

9:25 am

frantique

i find that if I get sick after i have the shot..its not as bad of a cold.

9:25 am

frantique

lol aloy

9:26 am

Scarlet

Exactly, Aloy... LOL... it truly was fate. With my shopper's member card, I even got two dollars off the $30 cost of the shot... such a deal!! :-)

9:26 am

frantique

I felt bad a few years ago when there was that shortage. they made old people wait in line for hours in the cold !!!

9:27 am

Scarlet

Years ago, the Swine Flu shot was the worst of the worst... that was the last one I had had until this year.

9:28 am

bbnaz

9:28 am

bbnaz

somewhat like the words i am creating in this grid

9:28 am

adorablelila1988

bbnaz.. i so agree

9:28 am

frantique

i was wondering what part of the world that accent was from "greetigns"

9:29 am

Scarlet

Oh, Aloy, you would love Earth Fare here in Asheville... all organic, and most of the esoteric ingredients are there, or they will order for delivery in two days! I love it! Hi, bbnaz.

9:29 am

frantique

Ok kids .. stay well !!!!!! x's

9:31 am

Scarlet

Aloy, my daughter is the tofu freak in this family, (I'm glad she has her own place to cook it) and we DO like the Boca Burgers, but we are, as you know, pure carnivores!

9:31 am

bbnaz

i have just started this a.m.

9:31 am

bbnaz

omnivores more like it Scarlet (hehehehe)

9:32 am

Scarlet

LOL, bb... hi, there, Judi!

9:32 am

Judi

No offense, anyone. I'm a tree hugger and a Boca Burger eater too... and an omnivore.

9:33 am

Aloyisius

am trying tofu "french fries" tomorrow night as a side dish for the lentil/cheese loaf.. LoL, hubby and I are eating all the meat products in the fridge before the "kids" arrive..

9:33 am

adorablelila1988

i'm gonna go get some breakfast... my stomach is hollering at me! See you guys later

9:33 am

Aloyisius

the ho8 is a perennial herb

9:33 am

Scarlet

That's right, Aloy... you must entertain vegetarians... are they vegans, too?

9:33 am

Scarlet

Later, adora!

9:34 am

Aloyisius

thank goodness they eat dairy products! But absolutely nothing with any meat or meat byproduct.. like I have to read pastry to make sure there is NO LARD

9:35 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all -- wow we have a grid with more than 113 words in it!! LOL

9:35 am

Aloyisius

and they eat eggs, tho daughter prefers "egg beaters"

9:36 am

Scarlet

A standby here is chicken broth, but my closest friend is a vegetarian... so, when I invite her, I make certain that I adhere to her tastes... egg beaters are odd-tasting, Aloy...

9:36 am

Scarlet

Hi Bookie!!

9:36 am

Aloyisius

i use vegetarian boullion in place of chicken broth.. works very well

9:37 am

Book Doctor Gwen

scartlet, wazaap?

9:37 am

Scarlet

Yes, it does, Aloy... or, I make my own, and throw in some parsnips, tomatoes, parsley, potatoes, celery, carrots, onions and leeks... makes a very tasty base for many things!

9:37 am

harpjane

veg X brand is my favorite

9:38 am

Scarlet

Hey, Bookie... just the last-minute madness of baking and getting out all the dishes and baking things that stay in hibernation all the rest of the year.

9:39 am

Aloyisius

stuck way too long on se5.10, the first one.. anyone point me in the right direction?

9:40 am

Aloyisius

9:40 am

Scarlet

I think that might be "mister" in Espanol, Aloy

9:40 am

Aloyisius

hah, I see it now!

9:40 am

Scarlet

Incoming salmon...

9:40 am

Aloyisius

Aloyisius

9:42 am

Scarlet

We are of a kind, Aloy... okay, I have goofed off long enough... must go ready the Christmas Pig cookie cutters for the sugar cookies: trees, bells, Santa, Rudolph, elves, and the Baba invention: the pig. Then I'll bake and decorate. Tomorrow: gingerbread boys and girls! The grands love them.

9:43 am

Aloyisius

lol, same here, Scarlet.. sugar cookies today, gingerbread tomorrow.. happy baking!

9:43 am

Scarlet

OH, one more thing: what the heck are those silver balls called that used to be available for decorations? I can't find them anymore... they were some sort of health hazard. Thank you, Aloy! :-)

9:44 am

Scarlet

I made the doughs last night, and they are just right now for rolling and cutting after a night in the fridge...

9:45 am

Judi

* silver balls... silver balls. It's lead based candy from China! ... silver balls... silver balls *

9:45 am

Aloyisius

I know what you are asking, Scarlet.. but I have to invent a name.. how about little silver deco balls?

9:45 am

Aloyisius

9:46 am

I thought they were made from mercury...which is worse?

9:46 am

raelite

9:46 am

1:08 pm

moonwoof

Not like he's a snake. It just reminded me =)

1:09 pm

Uneaixoise

I remember going to a Xmas party years ago here in Nashville--the couple lived in a large log cabin and the "front room" had a very high ceiling--they had cut their own (huge) tree . . . when they brought it inside and got it all set up, they discovered a squirrel at the top! LOL

1:10 pm

moonwoof

Aw. Poor squirrel. Silly people.

1:11 pm

moonwoof

I have that problem, avrytime we go to a new fair. I guess I'm just kinda used to it.

1:11 pm

moonwoof

Can't bring the pets in until the hubby makes sure theres no snakes or scorpions, etc.

1:12 pm

Uneaixoise

a new fair?

1:12 pm

moonwoof

This year, we got to NC and a cat had managed to get in and died over the winter. I thought it was a racoon until I found the flea collar.

1:12 pm

moonwoof

Yeah, I work at renassance fairs.

1:12 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhhh, ok

1:13 pm

Judi

Ewwwww. Dead animal stories.

1:13 pm

I just spelled that heinously lol

1:13 pm

1:13 pm

moonwoof

Oh, sorry judi. They were live animal stories.

1:14 pm

moonwoof

My most recent once with talking pets happens to be a dead one, tho. I apologize.

1:14 pm

Judi

Oh, okay then. I had a live bat in the house once. Yeech.

1:14 pm

moonwoof

My hubby and I have a deal. He gets the snakes and I get the bats LOL

1:15 pm

moonwoof

I found out right after the very first time I ever heard him squeel like a little girl.

1:15 pm

moonwoof

He came in wavying his hands around his head wildly squeeling "bats! baaatss!!"

1:16 pm

Judi

Now see, I'm not afraid of snakes, but my hubby hates them. I have to physically restrain him from chopping them up with shovels.

1:16 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!!!

1:16 pm

moonwoof

*I* happen to like the furry animals. The snakes, tho. Blech. They ALL have rattles in my world.

1:16 pm

Uneaixoise

i have a totally irrational fear of snakes . . .

1:16 pm

Judi

Well, no one likes the venemous ones. We just have garden and black snakes around us. Harmless and beneficial.

1:17 pm

moonwoof

My hubby have the exact oppsite arrangement, Judi. And me too une

1:17 pm

moonwoof

I'm serious. They ALL have rattles, when i see them. My hubby laughs when I see garter snakes.

1:17 pm

Uneaixoise

There is a ro6/27, do you suppose that it was set up wrong?

It's certainly possible. Like I said...

Hmmm. But it's not on what stats page?

1:52 pm

phaeton

whats the clue for the ro6/27?

1:53 pm

moonwoof

I dont have that one yet. hold on

1:53 pm

EvaNadine

RO6/27 = plural of RO5/16. contains the double-letter tile

1:54 pm

phaeton

actually it's only five lettes but it says 6

1:54 pm

EvaNadine

the double-letter tile counts as 2 letters.

1:56 pm

phaeton

Eva, thanks for the clue, but i was saying i put in a five letter re word and it's showing up as re6/27 that's not listed in the stats

1:56 pm

EvaNadine

i guess its possible for the stats to be wrong, but i dont think ive ever seen it before...

1:57 pm

moonwoof

Oh, actually, phae. This happened to me once. Try refreshing your browser

1:57 pm

moonwoof

Some times the display graphics go wonky and show up wrong

1:57 pm

phaeton

why?

1:58 pm

It usually "fixes" the display so that it shows the proper points, etc.

1:58 pm

Judi

Hot diddly dang. Fireworks!

that particular word is showing fine for me.

1:58 pm

Congrats Judi

1:58 pm

EvaNadine

1:59 pm

moonwoof

You can want them all you want. You wont get em lol

1:59 pm

It's just a glitch in the display, phae. It'd be nice, but it's just the display.

2:38 pm

2:38 pm

Karys

yw

2:39 pm

chiley

ok thanks....needed to ask a pediatrician question. Thanks ... he has a rash on his face and daycare called my daughter to come get him. He's been crying all afternoon. Anyone have any ideas? He started cereal a couple of weeks ago...oatmeal...could that be it?

2:40 pm

moonwoof

Yes. It could. Grains on sensitive kids just starting can cause yeast infections, etc.

2:40 pm

chiley

He's a first baby and my poor daughter has been suffering from post partum...this has really upset her.

2:40 pm

chiley

would that be on his face?

2:40 pm

praise2him

oh wow that is rough chiley

2:41 pm

praise2him

you can get yeast on the face

2:41 pm

Wyrd

could be a reaction or could be like roseolla

2:41 pm

Wyrd

kids get weird stuff in day care too

2:41 pm

Wyrd

btw..i am NOT a doctor

2:41 pm

moonwoof

I wouldnt know what to recommend for a baby tho. Yes, chiley. My partner even gets cold sores if she eats bread.

2:41 pm

moonwoof

Mostly on the face, since it's a thinner skin.

2:42 pm

moonwoof

Also true wyrd.

2:42 pm

moonwoof

Have you tried Web MD chiley?

2:42 pm

Karys

if he were mine I would probably give a drop of 'Calpol' and see what tomorrow brings

2:42 pm

Wyrd

my kids were so sensitive cold wind would give them a rash

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

Dr Scrabbler here--free consults available.

2:42 pm

moonwoof

LOL Speak of the bunny

2:43 pm

Karys

aahh..here's the person !

2:43 pm

Scrabbler

Is his rash new, chiley?

2:44 pm

chiley

Thanks Scrabbler....5 mons. old....started oatmeal 2 wks ago...rash started yesterday...looks like pimples

2:44 pm

chiley

rash on face and some on chest

2:44 pm

moonwoof

My nephew's got that, right now, tho he's older.

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

An allergic rash would more likely be generalized, e.g. dry skin everywhere, or hives.

2:44 pm

moonwoof

They sent him home from school, too.

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

day care staffs and school nurses send every kid with a rash home

2:45 pm

chiley

she used aveeno baby lotion the day before rash started

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

New laundry detergent, fabric softener, soap, etc?

2:45 pm

Karys

well....how strange.... a continent away and my 3 year old grandson was sent home from nursery with, guess what !!!

2:46 pm

chiley

she's on the way to the dr.....no, just the aveeno lotion

2:46 pm

Wyrd

my kids give me a rash

2:46 pm

moonwoof

Oh great. Babble's got an epidemic.

2:46 pm

Scrabbler

Hmm, I like Aveeno and recommend it for rashes.

2:46 pm

Karys

my kids gave me a headache

2:46 pm

Karys

lol moon !

2:46 pm

Scrabbler

Winter dry skin is very common too.

2:47 pm

moonwoof

JD only has it on his face, too. Just his chin. And they look like zits.

2:47 pm

chiley

we're in FL ... very humid here

2:47 pm

Karys

first winter for a 5 month old

2:47 pm

chiley

she says the redness & rash come & go

2:47 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Karys. I got a headache yesterday from a nasty father that demanded an antibioticc prescription for his daughter with cold symptoms for 5 days.

2:48 pm

moonwoof

You should Scrabs. That's insane.

2:48 pm

Karys

couldn't you just shake them Scrabbler ?

2:48 pm

Wyrd

you should have written him a prescription for the coocoo bin

2:48 pm

Scrabbler

So too sooth my emotional distress I am now eating Edy's blended frozen yogurt, chocolate fudge brownie.

2:49 pm

Karys

I think that sounds a little like an excuse !!

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

Chiley, has he been ill at all? Cold symptoms? fever? not eating? not sleeping?

2:49 pm

moonwoof

It's too bad there's not prescription strngth chocoloate.

2:49 pm

Wyrd

oh good idea moon, i would be SO on that

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

I actually don't need an excuse---I love this stuff!

2:50 pm

Karys

no, not a good idea.... I would be sooo fat !

2:50 pm

Karys

much as I thought Scrabbler !!

2:51 pm

Scrabbler

I tried the sugar-free version last week, but that sucralose sugar substitute has a laxative effect and I had some GI distress.

2:51 pm

Karys

we had that problem with diabetic daughter

2:52 pm

moonwoof

which means basically, that it sucks lol

2:52 pm

Karys

and diabetic chocolate costs twice as much

2:53 pm

Wyrd

my diabetic dad says the phony sweet stuff just makes him crave more

2:54 pm

Karys

dietician ?...told us not to bother with diabetic stuff

2:54 pm

chiley

No Scrabbler....just the rash and daycare said he had been crying all afternoon...BUT when she got there he was fine.

2:55 pm

Scrabbler

An alergy to oatmeal is highly unlikely--rice and oatmeal are started first because they are so benign. Is he breast or formula fed?

2:55 pm

Karys

daycare can sometimes over- react I think

2:56 pm

chiley

Formula

2:56 pm

chiley

Milk based

2:56 pm

Scrabbler

Which one?

2:57 pm

chiley

Enfamil I believe altho she does use some store brands too

2:57 pm

Scrabbler

I am asking because some of the cereals have milk in them and he could be sensitive to that. I am not sure if soy protein is in any cereal. You could review the label. He could be sensitive to soy protein if that is in the cereal.

2:58 pm

Karys

do you not have to stay with the same brand now Scrabbler ?

2:58 pm

autumn moon

might be ezema

2:58 pm

chiley

oh ok....I'm sorry to ask for advice....you must get tired of it. Thanks very much.

2:58 pm

phaeton

I need a clue for a ho5/12, one of the three in a row

2:59 pm

Scrabbler

It's not absolutely necessary to stay with the same brand--most babies will do fine on any or all products.

2:59 pm

phaeton

i have the ones that end in el and es

2:59 pm

chiley

all of them are from ho4/5

2:59 pm

Karys

phae... try en

2:59 pm

chiley

just ch the last letter

2:59 pm

moonwoof

theres a past tense one phae

3:00 pm

Karys

things change all the time Scrabbler, we had to stick with what we started

3:00 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Autumn, he could be getting an eczematous rash from a food sensitivity. And Chiley, I do not mind trying to help .

3:00 pm

I'll add the pertinent facts from the help section. Read them again and learn... OBJECT
To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.

PLAYING
Search the puzzle board for words of four letters or more. When you find a word, add it to your list using the form below the puzzle. Words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontaly, vertically or diagonally to the left, right, up or down. No letter cube, however may be used more than once within a single word.

TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED
The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. You may look for any type of word - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Plural nouns are acceptable, as are all verb tenses. Words within words are also allowed. (e.g. revolt and volt)

TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.

SCORING AND WINNING
Every night at midnight CT, the day's puzzle closes. The high score list for the day will then appear showing everyone's total score.

SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:

4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points

Example:
Word: BABBLE
Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1)
Total: 36 pts.
