1:09 am

herinfernallady

I have a Womans Weekly microwave cookbook that im playing with as we speak

1:10 am

acelightning

moon - fa7 has been in use as a compound for a lot longer than "rugrat" (or "rug rat")

1:10 am

rururocks

pr 7

1:10 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Ace for that one

1:10 am

moonwoof

but Still, ace. They accept "new" words every year. That seems somehow backwards.

1:11 am

acelightning

yw lady

1:11 am

danf63

i don't know about that ace...i remember calling my brother a rugrat 30+ years ago...

1:11 am

1:11 am

acelightning

dan - you were calling him a rug rat ;-)

1:12 am

herinfernallady

I am so spoiled this year. I got a shiny new camera and cash from my parents. My b.fs parents gave us cash too so we bought a new microwave. Im in geek girl techno heaven

1:12 am

acelightning

pr 7 is "make believe"

1:12 am

danf63

i don't think enable is really a dictionary...i think they just put some letters together and CALLED it one!

1:12 am

moonwoof

ok, well that Is a sobering thought, right there. I'd have been lynched by now if *I* were in charge of the dictionary lol

1:12 am

cybernan

he 7, if not called

1:12 am

danf63

My brother did have kind of a pointy face as a kid, though

1:12 am

herinfernallady

pe 7 more boggy

1:13 am

icepyro

its a dictionary in the sense of a list of words... the all supposedly do have meanings but enable itself is just a list

1:13 am

moonwoof

I believe I use words like "ginormous" all the time.

1:13 am

herinfernallady

Moon so do i.

1:14 am

2:47 am

herinfernallady

snuggles

2:47 am

jillibus

the nice thing about finding a word is not having to look for it anymore

2:48 am

sprite

yayyyyyy jilli! My inspiration!

2:48 am

icepyro

go jilli :)

2:48 am

FranMag

duh, that kn5 was the most normal word!

2:48 am

FranMag

done with Ks!!

2:48 am

jillibus

so true, babrab -- especially ks and REs

2:48 am

sprite

hey BabbleRabble, good to see you.
I guess... but with Babble and its hiccups it is quite possible to find a word and still need it. Those moments drive me bananas.

2:48 am

FranMag

2:49 am

sprite

2:49 am

FranMag

jillibus

groan, babrab!

2:51 am

FranMag

ha ha babrab!

2:51 am

sprite

LOL BabbleRabble. I think that would be in the eye of the beholder.

2:51 am

sprite

and Fran: done! *big sigh of relief*
Now for some real babbling.

3:00 am

moonwoof

I'm not sure ra6 counts just for you, sprite. Let's be serious, now.

3:01 am

sprite

ah well, you might have a point there. Th4 was me being egotistic :)

3:01 am

icepyro

3:20 am

icepyro

3:20 am

sprite

what was, icepyro?

3:20 am

sprite

yw icepyro... was it a new word or just a temporarily blank spot?

3:21 am

icepyro

Ive heard the word before, but I had forgotten about it

3:21 am

sprite

I must be off, to physiotherapy. Back later today, you all have fun and a good day/night/whatever *hug*

3:21 am

icepyro

take care

3:22 am

o-o

good luck and be well, sprite

3:22 am

moonwoof

cya sprite. Have a good day. Take care.

3:23 am

icepyro

ok 128 on me alone and the wonderful chat here.. I think its finally time to open some clues

3:24 am

moonwoof

Good idea, ice. It helped me Tons.

3:27 am

moonwoof

Then again. I guess that's the nature of clues =P

3:36 am

icepyro

argh... the worst part of clues is finding words that are part of other words

3:36 am

moonwoof

How so?

3:36 am

icepyro

and saying to myself 'why didnt i see that one before?'

3:37 am

moonwoof

Oh. I actually think that's a good reminder to practice lol

3:38 am

o-o

no use is served to berate yourself for being human enjoy the success and scuttle the rest

3:39 am

moonwoof

There's that too. You've just started playing, ice. And it seems like the point of playing something might be to have Fun.

3:41 am

icepyro

oh i didnt mean it as to berate myself... I said argh with a smile... its just somewhat amusing to have all different words that have a common base but forget the base

3:42 am

icepyro

and im having lots of fun challenging myself... just doesnt seem like it at times

3:43 am

ChrissieDee

morning all, just had to say if it wasn't for the chat this wouldn't be fun. Even if you're not contributing at the time you still feel part of the big babble family

3:43 am

moonwoof

Good then. But dont get down. Just take a break, or something =)

3:43 am

moonwoof

Morning chrissie

3:43 am

o-o

Hello, ChrissieDee

3:44 am

moonwoof

I like the family part. I'm becoming attached. It makes it seem so much less like "addicted" =D

3:46 am

ChrissieDee

I'll use that moon - I'm attached to Babble lol

3:47 am

moonwoof

Feel free. Sharing is "family" lol

3:47 am

icepyro

lol 'Im not addicted! Im just thoroughly attached!'

3:48 am

moonwoof

I prefer "very" attached. It's accurate and quicker to type... That way i can converse and get words when noones looking.

3:49 am

o-o

babble abulia

3:50 am

moonwoof

Running out of steam BR?

3:51 am

o-o

nope ... in the home stretch

3:51 am

moonwoof

Good job. I figured you would be though. You seem pretty quick.

3:51 am

moonwoof

abulia why then?

3:52 am

ChrissieDee

BR what does abulia mean?

3:52 am

moonwoof

abulia = loss of power (basically)

3:53 am

moonwoof

Oh mahn. Ok I'm thick. nm BR. Musta meant loss of will power.

3:53 am

ChrissieDee

thanks moon

3:53 am

o-o

people say they are not addicted or attached ... abulia I use to mean they have lost the power not to continue play an, in fact, are addicted

3:53 am

moonwoof

Nice. I'm trying to do a grid, and my ability to comprehend anything but tiles goes out the window =P

3:54 am

moonwoof

I get it, now, ty BR. I was tile stricken.

3:55 am

ChrissieDee

I was in denial for ages, didn't go pro 'cos it was just a phase - hah. Now freely admit I am "attached" to babble

3:56 am

moonwoof

Good for you. I'm attached, also. I'm going to miss it on the days I wont be playing. But that will just make it nice to come back to.

3:57 am

moonwoof

I have to admit, though. I went pro because I couldn't stand being without a "face".

3:57 am

o-o

as you all have said, I find enjoyment in coming to a place where people care to test yourself at a game in the manner you choose.

3:57 am

moonwoof

I did it the day after my first puzzle.

3:58 am

ChrissieDee

beautifully said BR

3:58 am

moonwoof

I also find it entertaining to see what "flavors" people who are "self challenging" come in.

4:00 am

moonwoof

The chat makes it a nice addition to the game. It's people watching I don't have to leave home for.

4:01 am

ChrissieDee

so we are really anthropologists

4:01 am

icepyro

ok its 2am... i got 30 mins til definite bedtime but first i think i will take that break

4:02 am

moonwoof

Or voyeristic sociologists?

4:02 am

moonwoof

Going to bed, then, ice?

4:03 am

ChrissieDee

how far have you got with the list ice?

4:05 am

moonwoof

he must have meant "right Now" lol

4:06 am

icepyro

100 to go

4:06 am

ChrissieDee

no, I'm sure he'll be back before bedtime

4:06 am

ChrissieDee

see, told you

4:06 am

moonwoof

Good for you. You can always come back later, ice.

4:07 am

icepyro

actually, unless gives mea decent break, i will have 1 hour before flip by the time i can come back

4:07 am

icepyro

unless work ...

4:08 am

moonwoof

well, by then you can also check todays log for clues, instead of asking for them.

4:08 am

moonwoof

Might save time, but I dont know...

4:08 am

icepyro

sorry im eating cereal

4:08 am

ChrissieDee

at least there will be plenty of clues in the chatlog by then ice

4:08 am

ChrissieDee

moon, I see we use the same tactics

4:09 am

moonwoof

I actually, havent done that, yet. But I figured it could. Ata reacted very strongly. There was a Big oops yeaterday morning.

4:10 am

moonwoof

If Lickety doesnt do it for me, I prefer to go pull out the dictionary. It's lots more work, some ways, but gratifying.

4:11 am

moonwoof

The one thing I've learned so far, is that everyone does it their own way =)

4:15 am

ChrissieDee

moon, what do you mean about the strong reaction. Does Ata not approve of taking clues from the chatlog?

4:15 am

icepyro

i have a wordfinder for when i get really stuck... I keep considering making a better one, but then i wonder if Id feel ok with using it since it would be closer to doing it for me than licketies or the dictionary

4:16 am

moonwoof

Hmm. Good question. I'm sure you'll figure it out, though.

4:17 am

moonwoof

Oh, no. But it was a BIG oops. Somehow someone managed to accidentally put their entire word list into the chat log.

4:18 am

moonwoof

So we both started entering random stuff to get it off of here.

4:19 am

moonwoof

Going to look it up is your choice, but getting on and having it Right Here, without any choice, is different.

4:19 am

P.J.

hiya all

4:19 am

ChrissieDee

OMG - just looked at yesterday's log and see what you mean

4:20 am

lynxxx

Hi - I'm back again. Ata wasn't upset though, just entered several times to get the 'accident' off the chat page - I've done the same my self on a few other occasions

4:20 am

moonwoof

When I say "strong reaction" I mean that Ata is one of those people who plays to learn and do it Herself. She'd just started and she couldn't "unsee" it.

4:20 am

lynxxx

Hi Hodag

4:20 am

moonwoof

Hiya hodag and wb Lynx

4:21 am

moonwoof

Right. Like Lynxx said.

Sprite put up a Mummy's busy sign

5:09 am

sprite

I was trying to have breakfast here. They came in and demanded my attention 5 times already. Just now one knocked again and I yelled NOOOO! It is very quiet now, behind my door :)

5:09 am

pinkhatlil

clue for the cr8 please?

5:10 am

herinfernallady

oh dear Sprite you in a mood?

5:10 am

sprite

I can't bear it if they don't give me space to breath, is all.

5:11 am

MVA

cr8 testing or rules for something

5:11 am

pinkhatlil

can i have the 3rd letter mva

5:11 am

MVA

i pink

5:12 am

ursh

Funny thing sprite - all of a sudden one day they all grown up and give you too much space

5:12 am

sprite

I don't think so, ursh. I like space.

5:12 am

herinfernallady

Sprite i guess sometimes MUM MUM MUM MUM MUM drives you nuts

5:12 am

MVA

too true uesh!

5:13 am

sprite

absolutely, lady. I tell them: go grow a brain, think for yourself! Argh. Sometimes I am definitely not the motherly type. Perhaps even never.

5:14 am

herinfernallady

You are a great Mum sometimes kids just don't want to think

5:14 am

sprite

thanks lady :)

5:14 am

pinkhatlil

i cannot see this cr8 is it a "normal" word

5:14 am

herinfernallady

I really mean it

5:15 am

herinfernallady

criteria

5:15 am

sprite

it is, pink.

5:15 am

MVA

it's so easy to get someone else to think for them sprite!!

5:15 am

sprite

ah, wonderful clue, lady, LOL

5:15 am

herinfernallady

oh opps shoot

5:15 am

pinkhatlil

LOL

5:15 am

MVA

good clue herin!!

5:15 am

sprite

too true, MVA! And I refuse. I want my kids to be self dependent.

5:16 am

sprite

look, I did not say anything when there was a request for a 3rd letter. But I HAVE to draw the line somewhere, right? :)

5:16 am

herinfernallady

told you i was sleepy. OH my gosh cat is rabit sleeping

5:17 am

sprite

how can something be more like a pancake th4 others?

5:18 am

MVA

cos enable says so!!??

5:18 am

ursh

i think it refers more to the skin on my neck sprite

5:18 am

sprite

you've got it, MVA. And ursh, wouldn't th4 require a double vowel?

5:18 am

ursh

or maybe around my eyes??

5:20 am

sprite

around your eyes??? Now I have to look it up.

5:20 am

Fishbulb

sometimes you make a bad pancake sprite, then you hide it with the more pancake like pancake. the first one always comes out a bit dodgy!

5:20 am

ursh

double vowel or double consonant both yuck anyway

5:20 am

sprite

awwwww of course! Thanks :)

5:21 am

sprite

*checks her list to see which words can possibly be more so too*

5:21 am

Fishbulb

though i agree its an odd word, especially when something cannot be more moose like

5:22 am

sprite

isn't it weird, that the first pancake always fails? Same with me.

5:22 am

MVA

got to go now, happy bbling, bbl

5:23 am

Fishbulb

yup - but mr fishbulb always gets the first one in this house ;) i pass it off as manners, but really i just want the second, more pancakier pancake

5:23 am

Fishbulb

right - time for me to dash - bbl guys

5:23 am

sprite

lollll you have sorted th4 out very well, will remember it!

5:23 am

sprite

bfsog

6:40 am

diem

theywere great

6:40 am

KatieMcG

I know what you mean bf, I've been to so many movies that were suppose to be poor and loved them. You will need to tell us what it was like.

6:41 am

KatieMcG

diem - as you can probably guess we had had a couple of drinks, but the singing moose was definitely a good buy this Xmas

6:41 am

bfsog

yeah, from what i have heard its not a typical out and out kill fest, its got a shyamalan feel to it

6:42 am

Scrabbler

6:47 am

KatieMcG

Sorry keep forgetting you are from here!!!

6:47 am

bfsog

il go pick out a hat for your big day

6:49 am

KatieMcG

We got the rings yesterday it was very exciting, and was the anniversary of when we got our engagement rings - it was a lovely day considering we both have rotten colds.

6:50 am

Haz1558

When you look back, Katie, the colds will not be the lasting memory.

6:51 am

KatieMcG

Hi Haz, did you have a good Christmas?

6:51 am

Haz1558

Yes thanks - always a busy time in the kitchen for me!

6:51 am

diem

katie w thats the first time we saw your 2be on the vidios.

6:52 am

KatieMcG

Diem, please don't judge him, honestly he doesn't usually have antlers on!!!

6:53 am

diem

Oh!!

6:53 am

KatieMcG

Haz, I love the moment the dinner gets put on the table, when everything is clean and looks perfect, it makes all the hours in the kitchen worth it. I hope you got someone else to wash up

6:54 am

bfsog

do you think there will ever be a day where my name (bfsog) will be in the grid

6:54 am

Haz1558

I'm a bit of a control fr5/24 when it comes to the kitchen but a dishwasher has been a wonderful investment.

6:54 am

KatieMcG

I've been playing for over 2 years and it is the first time my name has ever been in the grid, so you never know

6:55 am

Haz1558

That day will come, bf, but you'll be worth no points, sadly.

6:55 am

o-o

mine has been in the grid numerous times

6:55 am

KatieMcG

H2B got teatowels off his gran for Christmas as she said he should start married life on the right note. I've always thought she was lovely

6:57 am

KatieMcG

LOL

6:57 am

Haz1558

Our daughter bought us 'Don'ts for Wives' and 'Don't for Husbands' as advised by someone in 1913. I, apparently am not to stop him singing in the bath.

6:57 am

o-o

I would not expect that tea would be spilled so often to require towels?

6:57 am

Haz1558

He, apparently, is not to take breakfast in his shirt-sleeves as it would be treating me with less respect than a house-guest.

6:58 am

Haz1558

Are tea towels known as drying cloths in the States?

6:58 am

KatieMcG

Ahhhh, its the old language barrier again!!

6:59 am

o-o

towels are ... never heard of a tea towel

6:59 am

KatieMcG

They are indeed cloths used for drying the dishes after washing up babble

7:00 am

Haz1558

And they must be laundered regularly lest the bacteria breed and contaminate. I have not forgotten all my hygiene learned at the course this year...

7:00 am

bbnaz

dish towels

7:00 am

Haz1558

It must be a British thing to include tea whenever possible. It's illogical when you think about it.

7:01 am

bbnaz

although they were also referred to as tea towels in my home growing up...just most folks call them dish towels (in my limited experience)

7:01 am

diem

no such thing as yours or mine except kitchen sink and toolbox guess whos is who,s

7:02 am

o-o

now that I have been edified I thank you

7:03 am

Hello Uniquity and dc - must check out the icon...

8:41 am

dcseain

uliv, lickety's babble clues, link below the grid, gives a list of what you're looking for - First two letters, number of letters, total points - eg th5,12 - starts with TH , 5 letters, 12 points. Help link above describes scoring and how to play.

8:43 am

Angelsong

the grid is slowly but surely going dark....

8:43 am

does the pi 7 build on the pi 4/6?

11:44 am

diem

Is the re8 more of something?

11:45 am

Haz1558

No, cyber, it's a combination word. Think mining

11:45 am

cybernan

nm -- found it

11:45 am

MLFAN17

cyberman can you give another clue for the it word

11:45 am

Ouwachita

I need 2...tr8/50 and un8/55...any clues?

11:45 am

Haz1558

re8 - an insect either about to go to bed or to draw a pension.

11:46 am

Haz1558

un8/55 - un plus what the needle pulls in sewing.

11:46 am

Ouwachita

thanks haz

11:46 am

cybernan

I really think that re 8 is a made up word! What's wrong with the re 7?

11:47 am

Haz1558

tr8/50 - building on the stumbling tr4/5 - make it more.

11:47 am

Haz1558

cybernan - I agree!

11:47 am

cybernan

haz -- do you have the di 7-8 combo?

11:48 am

Ouwachita

11:48 am

MLFAN17

tr 8/50 woohoo

11:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, di7 - follow a quick plunge in water (three letters) with mixed up eye moisture, the di8 is descriptive.

11:49 am

pinkhatlil

hello all!!

11:50 am

Haz1558

Hello pinkhat.

11:50 am

JBV

11:51 am

11:52 am

JBV

thanks, haz, that did it!

11:53 am

cybernan

is the pr 8 a "before" word?

11:53 am

Haz1558

Eye moisture is te4/4, you need to mix the letters up, MLF to get the second part. (last three will form a period of time)

11:53 am

Haz1558

pr8 is a before word, though indicating a past tense.

11:53 am

MLFAN17

ohh ok haz ty

12:14 pm

Flask1

Hi mitch!

12:15 pm

pinkhatlil

hi, flask!!!

12:15 pm

Haz1558

ep7 - e, the sort of place from which you dig coal (three letters), the definite article (three letters) wrapped up with a beverage sounding consonant.

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Scrap that. You don't need the definite article, you need male personal pronoun instead.

12:16 pm

Flask1

Hey pink!!....are you well, my dear??

12:16 pm

FMitch

Anyone making a new year resolution or is that a dying tradition these days?

12:16 pm

Haz1558

e - the coal face, the man, a consonant.

12:16 pm

pinkhatlil

yes im much better thanks flask...you?

12:17 pm

Flask1

Am grand thanks!

12:17 pm

Haz1558

12:20 pm

FMitch

LOL katie, is it good?

12:20 pm

Haz1558

Okay, if not a coal face, a place where you might bury something. Joseph was thrown into one.

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Or e, four letters of a part of a fruit, finish with a little alien who had to phone home.

12:21 pm

cybernan

ep 7: ep + first person singular + definite article + cross

12:23 pm

12:28 pm

FMitch

Yes I am really and it is the first time I have every had it!

Hello lynxxx

12:28 pm

Haz1558

It's not really a combo, cybernan. One differs from the first ti6/24 by the last consonant, the ti7 is a comparatively unsteady one.

12:29 pm

12:38 pm

Haz1558

ti7/24 - one who knocks something over. ti6/24 - a small fur scarf, ti7 one more inclined to knock something over?

12:39 pm

Uniquity

Aha! Finally, I am halfway. This is an accomplishment in itself

12:39 pm

Haz1558

If ti7 started with a d it would mean the more foolish one - or maybe just a duck that likes to dive.

12:39 pm

cybernan

or the first ti 6 is someone who leaves money for the waitress

12:39 pm

1:16 pm

Mom

1:17 pm

pinkhatlil

1:18 pm

Mom

praise2him

1:24 pm

Mom

Jac or Autumn, would either of you please clue the fa 7

1:25 pm

autumn moon

fa - compound word, usually found in playground arguments....or a swollen ego

1:25 pm

montreal13

Uni, i will describe the flip as i remember it: minutes before, there's a mad dash for the late finishers to end before the ax falls; those already done come up with predictions as to the number of words the flip will bring... then the flip HITS.... people say things like "flipper, fliparooni, el flippo, flip-flop etc... then you get the claims: found a CR6, oh i got a re8, found the 9 !! etc - then, there seem to be restrictions as to "clue-giving" activities for at least a while... sorry Uni, no rockets nor banners...

1:26 pm

pinkhatlil

Praise - her name is a combo of Cheryl and Marva- both her gran's names

1:26 pm

1:31 pm

Uniquity

my little cousin is two and I adore him to death...favorite member of my family. His imagination is starting...and he is so excitable and fun!

1:32 pm

Uniquity

I think it is the development of a proper imagination that makes them so captivating...when the wheels turn and they suddenly seem to understan these amazing things

1:32 pm

Mom

need to go do some chores, be back later tonight. Hugs to all of you. Bye for now

1:32 pm

praise2him

It's a great help invented by Lickety and prevents entering words in chat. Only for PCs, tho, not Macs.

swmbo

Yes, how do you get babble expert? Where is it?

4:23 pm

lil*monkey

bthn, i used to date a boy (eons ago) named Steve Martin (not the famous one)

i've been slow to grey letters; still have 105 left.

7:30 pm

LadyNatts

It's interesting to me how people approach the puzzle... some go for the big words first... some go for greying out each letter...

7:30 pm

pam

I have more left, and no grays yet, dc....

7:30 pm

lil*monkey

once i check lickety, i like to do the words in order

7:30 pm

Uniquity

I do what I can, hit the list from Z to A, then back through however I want to finish. That works!

7:30 pm

dcseain

i work rather randomly; historically, i work from z-a.

7:31 pm

LadyNatts

me too, lil*monkey... before that, I just type whatever I see

7:31 pm

pam

I just look at the grid, then see what needs to be grayed... I am kind of random, and use no list...

7:32 pm

Uniquity

No list Pam? That's impressive!

7:32 pm

LadyNatts

So pam, what is close to grey?

7:32 pm

dcseain

sprite uses no list, also.

7:33 pm

LadyNatts

I go as far as I can without the list... mind you, at work I can only play with the list

7:33 pm

pam

not impressive, just my way....

7:33 pm

Uniquity

I don't see me ever getting there. I am psyching myself up for a few days without lickety and learning to work with BJs...**prepares**

7:33 pm

pam

I putter....

7:33 pm

lil*monkey

i check the lickety list only when i have about 30-40 left to find

I def. don't have a livejournal...but I have an open gym membership through my university, as well as great friends and a desire to feel/look better. I have seen the results of exercise on my tummy (my issue) and love it...can't wait to get back

8:08 pm

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

LadyNatts

I"m stilll not sure of what "monkey" means

8:09 pm

rururocks

thanks ph now just need the pi 6/21

8:10 pm

phandmd

it is like the pi 6/24 use a cross instead of second p

8:10 pm

LadyNatts

you aren't saying those Pi****s of the Carribean, are you?

8:11 pm

phandmd

then there is that one too

8:12 pm

herinfernallady

Free gym membership? That is cool. I got a month free but i go three or 4 times a week. I need to get to about 170 pounds. I think there is about an even 60 to lose now

8:12 pm

stidmama

hello all -- is this grid worth starting so late?

8:12 pm

phandmd

'monkey" means to just keep typing til you find a word...

8:13 pm

rururocks

got it now on to the pr 8?

8:13 pm

bookwomen

back from and ready to finish my last 80.

8:13 pm

LadyNatts

I did it in 2 1/2 hours with lickety, stid.

8:13 pm

bubba218

my last word-- fa 7,48 please

8:13 pm

phandmd

do you happen to have the pr 9? - the last ltr if you do

8:13 pm

phandmd

big ego

8:13 pm

Uniquity

Well, my school is associated with another school which has several campuses, and I can attend any of those gyms. I do not focus on the numbers at all, as I am quite tall and "big boned" (for real, though)...my number will always be high, I am concerned with how I feel about myself

8:14 pm

phandmd

that was for you Bubba

8:14 pm

LadyNatts

lol... you fa******!

8:14 pm

stidmama

good for you Uniquity -- the importance is your HEALTH, not how "big" or "small" you are.

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

Uni that is my healthy weight range based on my bmi. If you read my threefs page at lj you can see what i mean.

8:15 pm

bubba218

Thanks, should have gotten that after that mine entrance word, but thanks for all the clues, -- I have finished

8:15 pm

rururocks

8:15 pm

rururocks

is it pre?

8:15 pm

Uniquity

My bmi tells me I can go up to 180 or so, I think...I like being there, but don't really care as long as I love myself and am well healthwise.

8:15 pm

pam

yes, ruru, a past tense verb description...

8:16 pm

herinfernallady

Uni that is the way to do it. I get so pissed at shows like the biggest loser. I still stuff my face with what ever i like in moderation. I am lucky I loath most fast foods and have gotten a dairy intolerance happening. Also white bread and too much soft fdrink is bad

8:16 pm

phandmd

before + cross + vowel + not wrong

8:16 pm

Uniquity

I like to watch "you are what you eat" but the diet she prescribes sounds just so impossible to me...I eat what I like, as health conscious as I feel like

8:17 pm

rururocks

got that is the eight off of that?

8:17 pm

phandmd

yes, - last ltr

8:17 pm

rururocks

10:20 pm

moonwoof

Aw. ty, tyger. I'm glad you did, too. It's one of my favorites.

10:20 pm

Natasha

10:20 pm

tygerbryght

I shared it with my son, who also really liked it

10:21 pm

pam

Yes, it is, Nat...

10:21 pm

angelinaxox

10:21 pm

tygerbryght

Thanks, moon--that's it. Only 12 left--

10:21 pm

moonwoof

Don't you just feel like a re6.21?

10:22 pm

mirandapan

absolutely!

10:22 pm

moonwoof

i did, too. That was one of the ones that got me, at first.

10:22 pm

tygerbryght

as big grids go, it wasn't too bad. I'm just glad I got to finish it. Last Saturday, my ISP went down early in the day, and was off for nearly 24 hours. And I had 215 of 305 (I think it was) words! Imagine my frustration!! :P

10:23 pm

flosey

whew! Fireworks, have been at this on and off all day

10:23 pm

moonwoof

Aww. Th4 would suck!

10:23 pm

tygerbryght

I was so mad at the phone co.

10:23 pm

tygerbryght

yay, flosey

10:23 pm

moonwoof

Congrats flosey! wtg

10:23 pm

tygerbryght

I gotta go back and watch the video. It looks like a cool one :)

10:23 pm

jillibus

I have 91 left -- I never seem to have time to finish the big grids

10:23 pm

tygerbryght

but not just yet

10:24 pm

pam

I hate stuff like that, tyger! I had no connection for an hour a few days ago because My computer reconfigured itself

10:24 pm

tygerbryght

that's because you have such a busy life, jilli :)

10:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

tr9? please/

10:24 pm

jillibus

hi flosey and YAY for you!!!

10:24 pm

moonwoof

tr9 = tr6 + picnic pest

10:24 pm

tygerbryght

tr9 builds off the tr6 before it

10:24 pm

tygerbryght

add on the uninvited picnic guest

10:24 pm

moonwoof

You can do it Jilli, you've got time.

10:25 pm

tygerbryght

10:25 pm

phaeton

10:25 pm

moonwoof

Not quite but close =D

10:25 pm

jillibus

har har, moon!

10:25 pm

tygerbryght

ti5/12 - a tenth of one's income

10:25 pm

moonwoof

Medival serfs would ti5.12 to their land owners.

10:25 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, you're fast - we know it :)

10:25 pm

pam

tr 9??? I guess I don't have that tr 6!

10:26 pm

phaeton

thanks tyger

10:26 pm

moonwoof

Seriously Jilli. Unless you have plans you havent mentioned =P

10:26 pm

tygerbryght

if you added in in front of tr6, you'd get the kind of person who makes a great explorer (adjective)

10:26 pm

tygerbryght

yw, phae

10:26 pm

jillibus

I don't have the tr6 either, pam -- HINT, HINT to cluers!

10:26 pm

tygerbryght

they often talk about intr6 explorers

10:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty for the tr 9 clues!!

10:27 pm

moonwoof

intr***** reporters are avid. Take off the "in" and you get tr6

10:27 pm

pam

THANKS, tyger!!!

10:27 pm

tygerbryght

yw, TO - see guys, you just need to think a minute :)

10:27 pm

tygerbryght

LOLOL

10:27 pm

tygerbryght

jilli??

10:27 pm

tygerbryght

didja get it yet?

10:28 pm

jillibus

thanks for the trs -- didn't think the 6 was a word. At Xmas, 29-yr-old writer grandson was playing with words

10:29 pm

tygerbryght

I didn't think it was, either :)

10:29 pm

tygerbryght

but there it is

10:29 pm

tygerbryght

yw

10:29 pm

moonwoof

My lucky Monkey found that one... I was trying to put in "lukewarm" lol

10:29 pm

jillibus

and decided that "telligent" was a good opposite. Tr6 is in the same category as far as I'm concerned, like "gruntled"

10:30 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, jilli

10:30 pm

moonwoof

I've always been fond of "gruntled". It sounds so satisfiying, even if it isn.t

10:30 pm

10:31 pm

ROFLMAO

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

gruntled is such a funny word - it sounds ugly, for such a pleasant emotion

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

what, DC?

10:31 pm

moonwoof

It's like swearing in German. It's just so much More.

10:31 pm

phaeton

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!

10:32 pm

jillibus

Great title for the collection, dc -- Lost Positives -- or Lost Opposites?

10:32 pm

tygerbryght

yeah, woof - all those chewy consonants :D

10:32 pm

moonwoof

Are finished phae? Or did you just crack?

10:32 pm

phaeton

Finished!

10:32 pm

moonwoof

Congrats =)

10:32 pm

tygerbryght

oh, just saw DC's original comment - loved it, DC :)

10:33 pm

dcseain

Lost Positives. for though opposite, they're more than that, or more specific than that.

10:33 pm

tygerbryght

yay, phae

phaeton

Goodnite, sleep tight, sweet dreams!

10:33 pm

jillibus

dc, I don't think telligent is a positive!

10:33 pm

moonwoof

Now that you bring it up, DC... Why are scadians so much less creative about their anacronisms?

10:33 pm

moonwoof

Nite phae, sleep sweet.

10:33 pm

10:42 pm

moonwoof

10:43 pm

Anniebrook

Natasha, Depth is not a Wallender book

10:43 pm

dcseain

10:44 pm

Anniebrook

I am being fine, rennnieee....how is your hubby?

10:44 pm

Natasha

I haven't read any of his non-wallender books, but I'll definitely check them out.

Very beautiful, jilli.

10:58 pm

jillibus

Great Danes, moon -- just wanted you to see some of them

10:58 pm

The dogs, that is, not the fly =D

10:58 pm

They're HUGE

10:59 pm

jillibus

thanks, moon. Tyger had Danes too -- we met decades ago

10:59 pm

DR1965

ty everyone.. back for the flip later

10:59 pm

moonwoof

My hubby likes large dogs, too. So we made a deal. He can own any dogs that weighs less than i do. So he keeps trying to feed me cheese cake, etx.

10:59 pm

moonwoof

Cya Dr.

11:00 pm

moonwoof

Well well. I'll have to check out tyger later, too.

11:00 pm

angelinaxox

bye dr

11:00 pm

jillibus

Danes are so gentle, and you don't have to bend down to pat them, lol.

11:00 pm

moonwoof

Sadly, given my metabolism, I dont think he'll be getting a St. Bernard anytime, soon

11:01 pm

moonwoof

I have a friend who has a Dane that pulls her around on a trike... I'll get you a picture in Feb.

11:01 pm

moonwoof

It's pretty funny looking.

11:01 pm

moonwoof

I'm trying to teach my jack russel to ride on Daisy's back (my friend's dane = Diasy)

11:02 pm

jillibus

moon -- your flag doesn't show -- did you click on "Show Profile" in the upper right corner of your "My Account"?

11:02 pm

moonwoof

I don't think so, jilli. I don't recall seeing anything like that in my account. I'm from the US, tho.

11:03 pm

moonwoof

Now, I am, anyway.

11:03 pm

jillibus

moon, a friend of ours who is an Obedience trainer got her Harrier to use our first Dane as something to jump over

11:04 pm

jillibus

Have a look, moon -- it's there

11:04 pm

moonwoof

Funny looking, huh? Cassie and I have been working with Daisy for a while. She likes doing stuff like that, too.

11:05 pm

moonwoof

ok, brb

11:05 pm

Natasha

pam are you still here?

11:07 pm

moonwoof

Well, I think I found it, but it doesnt seem to be "checkable" right now or something...

11:07 pm

moonwoof

At least, it's not Doing anything.

11:08 pm

moonwoof

I suppose it might be my BExpert, too, tho.

11:08 pm

moonwoof

Have you looked under "who's online" natasha?

11:09 pm

jillibus

that's strange, moon -- BExpert shouldn't make any difference. No little box beside "Show Profile"? No check mark if you click on the box?

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

poke

11:09 pm

Natasha

nah, figured if she was here it would just be easier to ask!

11:10 pm

harpjane

poke?

11:10 pm

moonwoof

Well, yes, there's a box there, but it isn't checking or unchecking, jilli.

Nope it's not doing anything one way or the other, jilli. And BE doesn't usually make any difference, but it may be, I dont know.

11:11 pm

dcseain

wow. i introduced my friend eduardo to this game this AM. He went pro alreaday. i guess he really meant it when he said it was addictive. So, we have a player in Spain now. :)
