12:41 am

sprite

*giggles* I love ya, ru. I'll never call it anything else again.
It is a therapy day. It is about families and how certain themes and blockages can work through generations and give problems in the present. And about how to solve them.

12:43 am

rururocks

yeah.. I know about blockages.. my father had a carrot up his butt for many, many years

Moolingwa, I'm looking for the first st6,21, the one after that (probably pl), and the 6,24 below that.

1:45 pm

spellacked

staed

1:45 pm

moolingwa

the one that happens to bread after you leave it out?

1:46 pm

spellacked

no, the 6s and 7 above that

1:46 pm

hurshy

the middle of sa6/21 is what you have when you are able to say things without offending people

1:46 pm

hurshy

1:49 pm

hurshy

to quote santa about the m&m's: they do exist

1:49 pm

moolingwa

lady, they all start with d

1:49 pm

moolingwa

well the 9 starts with e

1:49 pm

hurshy

1:49 pm

moolingwa

1:49 pm

moolingwa

1:53 pm

moolingwa

yeah

1:53 pm

moolingwa

1:53 pm

hurshy

i think that is why i thought russian - same ending

1:53 pm

moolingwa

yeah

1:54 pm

hurshy

may i please have a clue for that de8?

1:54 pm

moolingwa

add it to the front of your e8

1:55 pm

moolingwa

citadel not in there either

1:55 pm

hurshy

that makes no sense

1:55 pm

moolingwa

e8 - to increase or raise...de10 to decrease or lower

1:56 pm

hurshy

i just want de8

1:56 pm

hurshy

i have 9 and 10

1:56 pm

moolingwa

oh, sorry

1:56 pm

moolingwa

the de is in front of a plural 6, that also begins with a vowel

1:57 pm

hurshy

ah thanks

1:57 pm

hurshy

i was all, i can't add to an 8 and get an 8, lol

1:57 pm

moolingwa

yeah...was thinking you were still asking for the bigguns

1:58 pm

spellacked

Dirty dozen is all that's left, all TE's, from three different locations.

1:58 pm

spellacked

anyone have the stats on the bottom T?

1:58 pm

moolingwa

possibly missing one TE here

1:58 pm

moolingwa

the one on the left?

1:58 pm

spellacked

no, fourth column

1:59 pm

spellacked

it's the two TIs, and which TE's?

1:59 pm

moolingwa

ti 5/12 and ti 6/21

1:59 pm

moolingwa

oh the te's

1:59 pm

moolingwa

2:01 pm

moolingwa

looking for another

2:02 pm

moolingwa

te 5/10

2:03 pm

moolingwa

those are the two, took me a while to go through them all

2:03 pm

spellacked

that helps. I managed to weed out the 2nd row T's words while you were looking, so it's down to 4th and 5th columns

2:03 pm

hurshy

if i could just find one more word

2:03 pm

hurshy

that'd be a nice round 200

2:04 pm

moolingwa

easy peasy :)

Sorry about that. Malwarebytes has decided to block the babble website. I could not enter words in to the add word box or chat log. I added playbabble to the exclude option so it would allow babble but it still blocked it. So I have turned it off to see if I can access babble.
