To en6 yourself to me, give me all the words... haha...+ en7

12:52 am

jaianniah

This is my poor husband's first night at Babble.... please welcome him... Crom....

12:54 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo Crom. I thought your introduction was a clue!

12:57 am

dofith

Yep, Sally' said it! Welcome, Crom - husband of jai, I believe...

12:58 am

dofith

fiar

12:58 am

dofith

Oh, damn - sorry!

1:01 am

jaianniah

Yes, he is my husband and he is lost, poor baby!!!

1:03 am

dofith

Crom, get out now, while you can, before you become addicted like the rest of us....

1:20 am

jaianniah

My husband wants to know what the point is of finding words that he has never heard of...gibberish, he says hahaha!!!!!

1:20 am

sprite

good morning all

1:23 am

sprite

welcome Crom! To the madness of obsolete words, scots spellings, quirky coins and babblets. If you want to have a look at some, or see words we made up, see my profile.

1:23 am

Crom

I'm not enjoying this so far.

1:24 am

jaianniah

Is an al7 a fish or what???

1:24 am

dofith

I ask myself the same question. Can't say my vocab has improved over the years, but it's the challenge of finding words that gets us in, no matter how obscure they are.

1:25 am

sprite

my vocab has certainly improved here. Partly thanks to chat, though. I think you have to be a language lover to like this game.

1:26 am

dofith

I guess if it was in Dutch, Sprite, and so was the chat, my Dutch vocab would have improved as well!.

1:27 am

sprite

probably, lol

1:28 am

dofith

Haven't got al7, jai. Looking now... Do you now how to look up definitions using the little question mark box?

1:28 am

jaianniah

He is grumbling about time going too slow...so I am telling him to hang it up. But I thank you for your kindness to my husband, Wa4!!!!

1:29 am

jaianniah

I dunno. That's not something I have tried...

1:30 am

sprite

I think she does, dofith, lol, she has been around for ages, our jai. A fish in babble can also be a word that is so common and easy to spot, it is worth a fish slap when you ask for it.

1:31 am

dofith

Oh, THAT fish!! Sorry! Can't find al7 anyway.

1:31 am

sprite

*giggles*

1:31 am

dofith

Hint??

1:31 am

jaianniah

Duh. Al7 is a fish found in the Great Lakes...I should have known that, having grown up by Chicago....<feeling stupid>

1:31 am

dofith

Clue, I mean?

1:32 am

sprite

roflollllllll I stand corrected. An actual fish, dofith!

1:33 am

jaianniah

Thanks for the *slap* I needed that to stay awake... it's 2:35 here....yawn...

1:33 am

dofith

I now lots about the Great Lakes - the Iroquois confederation etc., - never fished there!

1:34 am

jaianniah

I actually have never fished in Lake Michigan... Lake Superior, yes. I come from a Norwegian family that breathes fishing tackle....

1:34 am

dofith

I know, I mean. Only early afternoon here, so I've no excuse for mistakes.

1:34 am

jaianniah

Great big lures made of Sterling Silver spoons...the6 catch Pike and Musky....

1:35 am

sprite

no excuse needed for mistakes or babble blindness

1:36 am

jaianniah

Babble blindness???? Is that like you f8nd the word that is a nine, but miss that 3l4 is in the top row?????

1:36 am

dofith

... and husband's spouses, evidently!

1:36 am

sprite

that is exactly it, jai!

1:37 am

jaianniah

El4...the correctabitch fixed my clue....grrrr....

1:37 am

sprite

dofith, if you cannot find the fish, try searching for a drinking spouse

1:37 am

jaianniah

TY. You can slap me again....

1:37 am

jaianniah

Beer drinking spouse....

1:38 am

sprite

*gently hits jai over the head with a guppy*

1:38 am

jaianniah

I felt that

1:38 am

sprite

:D

1:39 am

dofith

Gotta go - grandkids pick up from school, soon. 'Bye jai and Sprite - and Crom if he's lasted this long!

1:39 am

sprite

hav a grand day, dofith

1:39 am

jaianniah

I am going to bed.... Wa4 is gone......(Crom).....It was great to see y'all!

1:40 am

sprite

night night jai, sleep well. It was nice to meet your beloved.

1:41 am

jaianniah

Wa4 is truly super... I am hoping he will join us... He is a karate teacher and lead guitarist....we jam together....

1:42 am

dofith

Managed that at 1.36, Sprite! See you gals tomorrow.

1:42 am

jaianniah

*poof*

1:47 am

sprite

*waves at Kam*

1:53 am

sprite

new dictionary word: outqu5 - to be stranger than the rest

1:57 am

jaianniah

:D!

1:57 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite! I'm pooped tonight

1:58 am

sprite

lol doing a jilli, jai?

1:58 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Don't chat if you don't feel like it, hun, it is all good. I hope you are pooped from fun stuff.

1:59 am

Kamanjah

Too many fires, too much smoke and heat.

1:59 am

sprite

ouch, that is scary. Thinking of you, Kam. Take care.

2:00 am

Kamanjah

One broke out less than 4 miles from home today, went to over 250 acres in less than 2 hours. Scary

2:00 am

sprite

please be safe, honey.

2:00 am

jaianniah

Just watching chat... that one was too funny too pass up....I am thinking of The Avangers movie 2 Age of Ultron... Thor says that they must have Re5... (and singular,too)

2:00 am

Kamanjah

We are safe. We have good defensible space around our home, and so do our neighbors

2:02 am

sprite

am glad to hear it, Kam. Our very watery country does not have this type of scares. Drowning, yes, but burning, not on that scale.

2:02 am

jaianniah

I had a bad fire in MS back when I used to live there. My land and all around went up in five minutes...nine acres....it taught me how scary fires are....

2:02 am

sprite

awful, jai

2:03 am

Kamanjah

Since hubby's house burned up 2 years ago, I just get super freaked out

2:04 am

jaianniah

We had cut paths through it to walk. Thank God we did, for the firemen could use them to run their hoses.... the guy who started the fire was (get this) a volunteer fireman turning garbage our county took away for free.....

2:04 am

sprite

totally understand that, Kam. Traumatic stuff, that.

2:04 am

jaianniah

*burning

2:04 am

sprite

he sure should have known better

2:05 am

jaianniah

So jam, I will pray. Hard. This is awful...a sign of GW.

2:05 am

sprite

GW?

2:05 am

Kamanjah

Some idiot dumped hot BBQ briquets the other day...neighbors put it out, but it pulled firefighters off of big fires.

2:05 am

Kamanjah

Climate change

2:05 am

jaianniah

*kam correctabitch again.....

2:06 am

sprite

ah, global warming, sorry, got it

2:06 am

Kamanjah

That idiot is gonna have a big fat fine, plus all costs to respond.

2:06 am

sprite

that is very good, the only way some people learn is through their wallet, alas

2:07 am

jaianniah

Our pine in MS was very dry.... but that pine has ev9lved to need fire to drop seeds, to open cones. But MS is really wet, and the trees grow in Sandy loam.... but that year was too too dry... it was the year after Katrina, I think.

2:08 am

Kamanjah

Our humidity has been below 20% for several weeks. Cars are covered in ash. I'm tired of it all. The sun is brown or orange, just creepy.

2:09 am

sprite

(((((((((Kam))))))))) stressful, all of it

2:10 am

jaianniah

I am so sorry. This climate thing I have seen since I was a girl, when hundreds of butterflies were yearly in the field behind me. Now, I never see one. Ever. No more Monarchs.

2:10 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Sprite. *Hugs* back.

2:10 am

sprite

climate changes are of all times, but it is sad that we humans have a big hand in it going faster

2:11 am

Kamanjah

I actually saw a bee yesterday. One. Bee. First all year. Have seen a few bumblebees...and bambi ate most of my garden, aren't I just a pile of fun tonight? Ha!

2:11 am

jaianniah

I will 0ray you get rain to wash the air and sky clean.....We got 16" of rain last week, and had flooding. But I would rather have the excess rain than fires. So I will think of you...

2:11 am

sprite

bees and bumblebees are plentyful here. Lots of butterflies too.

2:12 am

sprite

plentiful*

2:12 am

jaianniah

I am moving. Overseas.

2:12 am

Kamanjah

I have seen lots of butterflies this year :)

2:12 am

Kamanjah

And get buzzed by hummingbirds when I'm out watering.

2:13 am

jaianniah

I swear to God that someone here in PA must be spray8ng for bugs. We have not a single mosquito, even....

2:13 am

jaianniah

I swear to God that someone here in PA must be spray8ng for bugs. We have not a single mosquito, even....

2:13 am

sprite

oh that is awesome! No hummingbirds here, too cold for them

2:13 am

sprite

well, mosquitos, I could do without, personally ;)

2:16 am

Kamanjah

No mosquitos here, too dry. Plenty of other bugs - some kind of caterpiller is eating my petunias, and all I find is remains, no bodies to get rid of, lol!

2:17 am

sprite

we have lots of mosquitos. This year even more than usually, because of the wet winter with no real cold periods.

2:22 am

Kamanjah

Firewords! I'm going to bed "early" tonight. Take care, everyone!

2:22 am

sprite

wtg Kam! Sleep well and dream of cool, clear skies

2:25 am

jaianniah

Please help me with re7.. I have done enough monkeying. Too tired.

2:25 am

2:26 am

jaianniah

Wth, jam. Be at peace. I will 0ray.

2:26 am

sprite

2:26 am

jaianniah

I need to sleep. Really haha

2:27 am

jaianniah

Duh. Self administered fish slap. With large Musky, perhaps. They have teeth.

2:27 am

jaianniah

TY TY TY

2:28 am

sprite

2:28 am

sprite

5:16 am

ivesy3

anyone have a clue for the last de 6 plz

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

I don't know what you're referring to, ruby, but live and let live. We are all friends here, whatever race, nationality, colour, sexuality or religion (have I left any out?).

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

De 6/24 What you might do to your toes after being on the beach.

6:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon/evening all. This looks like a nice grid, so I'll get started.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

It's a lovely grid Haz. Lots of plurals and past tenses.

6:09 am

Haz1558

So I'm discovering. I love the first run through.

6:12 am

Haz1558

Did it take you long to get back into the swing of babble, Sally?

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

A few days. It didn't help that the first grid I came back to was over 400 words. I just did what I could. I really can't spend all day on it! Some of the babblets are coming back to me nicely.

6:15 am

Sally-catlover

I have two particular phantoms today. One is Dorothy's dog in the Wizard of Oz, and the other is what a ballerina wears!

6:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, those big grids can take a while. But it's good that you've retained those useless in real life but essential for babble words.

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

Useless! You mean they're useless! Nobody told me.

6:16 am

Haz1558

Ssshhh. Let it be our secret.

6:16 am

Deeha

I'm looking for the al7?? Any help appreciated!!

6:16 am

Sally-catlover

I sometimes play Words with Friends and my son accuses me of cheating because I know some "unusual" words. He asks me what they mean and of course I haven't a clue half the time.

6:17 am

Haz1558

To be honest, I don't mind the obscurity of some of the words, it all adds to the intrigue of the game.

6:17 am

Deeha

I do that Sally, they do come in ueful sometimes

6:17 am

Sally-catlover

Al 7/56, start with a beer and end with not a husband.

6:18 am

Haz1558

Hello, Deeha. Thanks for asking for the al7, I hadn't got that length yet.

6:18 am

Deeha

that is so easy!! Wasnt looking for a 'double' word. TYVM

6:19 am

Deeha

Glad to help Haz!

6:20 am

Haz1558

I'm playing catch-up.

6:21 am

Deeha

Is that a new game I haven't come across?!!

6:23 am

Haz1558

It's when you wait until other people have started babble and you hang around waiting for others to ask for helpful hints.

6:24 am

Haz1558

Just had one of those silly calls where they say they have information you've had an accident and it wasn't your fault.

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words\n_with_Friends>

6:27 am

Deeha

lol Haz

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

Did you string them along Haz? I sometimes do, if I'm in the mood. My most successful one was when the caller said "I don't want to talk to you"!

6:39 am

Haz1558

My policy is always to string them along until they put the phone down on me.

6:39 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

6:39 am

HarryHood

If I string them along they usually end up saying something very rude to me before hanging up.

6:39 am

Haz1558

I claimed this time that I was sitting in the car having just had the accident, hadn't even called the police so how did they know and were they spying on me.

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Rofl!

6:41 am

Haz1558

My best was when they were trying to say my broadband wasn't fast enough. I played Mrs Paranoid, asked if the router was going to go on fire, was someone spying on me etc. The man got very irate, shouted that I was wasting his time. I pointed out that HE had rung me.

6:41 am

Haz1558

That call lasted seven minutes before he admitted defeat. I don't see why I shouldn't waste their time and money.

6:42 am

Sally-catlover

I like the Windows ones best. I have a Mac:-)

6:43 am

Haz1558

It makes me mad that they are happy to prey on people who don't realise they are being scammed.

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

I know two people who've been taken in by the Windows ones and have paid money to have their computers "repaired". One we ound out in time and he stopped his card. The other one is a particularly stupid friend so "shrug".

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

Ound = found

6:47 am

Haz1558

One of the calls I claimed that I was disabled and couldn't get to the computer downstairs until my carer came. 'Take your time, madam, go down the stairs, take your time.'

6:47 am

Haz1558

I lost my patience at that.

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

Giggle Haz.

6:49 am

crosshair

Good morning, my babble friends. Oops, someone must have posted a long URL in the chog. Have not seen a 'blown" chog in an age. :)

6:49 am

Sally-catlover

I think that was me:-(

6:50 am

Haz1558

We'll forgive you, Sally. You've been away.

6:50 am

crosshair

:)

6:50 am

Haz1558

Just remember to sign up for the refresher course.

6:50 am

Sally-catlover

That's a relief. I would hate to blot my copybook.

6:51 am

crosshair

No biggie. it will clear when enough posts have happened to drop it off the bottom of the page.

6:51 am

Haz1558

Today's youth won't understand blotting copybooks, isn't that sad? They'll never know the joys of fountain pens.

6:53 am

crosshair

My beloved does calligraphy and has a blotter on her desk. :)

6:57 am

Sally-catlover

When my son was at school, his teacher said he was okay when he got down to work, but would spend time doing such things as sharpening his pencil. This has become a catchphrase in our household in that my beloved has just accused me of sharpening my pencil since I should be cleaning out the chickens:-)

6:59 am

Haz1558

I like the idea of your boy sharpening furiously to put off starting his work. Did all his pencils end up as stumps? It's one way to look as though you're doing something instead of standing with your two arms the one length.

7:10 am

Sally-catlover

Well, I have 20 left so I think I'd better put my pencil sharpener down and will come back later. Good luck everyone.

7:10 am

Haz1558

Bye, Sally. The chickens will be glad. See you again!

7:13 am

Haz1558

And I am off to the kitchen. Lunch time. Bye for now.

7:49 am

hurshy

doseffing

... oh it was 55 years ago ... the teacher has to be long dead by now ... h'e'll never catch me

8:06 am

hurshy

*i* caught you

8:07 am

doseffing

... yeah ... but you're seven hours away by plane ... and I can get a long way in seven hours

8:07 am

hurshy

ha, that's what you think

8:07 am

hurshy

a person's flag is not necessarily an indication of their actual location

8:09 am

doseffing

... yeah ... but if you cross the border there's no guarantee that you'll get back across

i think, rob, that he just meant the word ... "you are very well ve6 in parisian politics"

8:32 am

hurshy

the 7 in that original clue was a typo

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids. TY for ve7 hint.

8:33 am

robwhy

OK, I have that one. I'm looking for the ve 9

8:33 am

doseffing

... nope ... a porch with a roof and/or railing for the ve7 .... plural for the 8 ... past tense for the 9

8:33 am

robwhy

Yeah, I can't get the past tense one. What am I missing?

8:34 am

hurshy

well it is just weird, you take the 7 and put a past tense ending on it

8:34 am

Scrabbler

TY, Hurshy.

8:34 am

doseffing

... ve9 ... a description of your house if it has a ve7

8:34 am

JaxH66

I'd misspelt it many times. It is the full ve7 plus past tense

8:34 am

robwhy

Thanks. That is weird

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Odd word.

8:36 am

doseffing

... yeah ... but if you had a ve7 and it was a nice one?

8:36 am

hurshy

then you'd say "ahhh, i have a nice ve7"

8:37 am

doseffing

.... and the rest of the comment was ... .... and you wanted to sell the house how would your real estate agent describe the front of your house without ve9?

8:38 am

hurshy

my real estate agent would say "porch"

8:38 am

doseffing

... but a porch doesn't have a roof ... your ve7 does

8:39 am

hurshy

a porch does have a roof, in the ways i have always been aware of its use. a deck doesn't.

8:40 am

hurshy

and i don't think a la5 has a roof

8:40 am

doseffing

... a deck is more often at the back or side

8:40 am

hurshy

well my parents have a "front porch" and it does have a roof, that's all i know.

8:41 am

hurshy

actually i'm not very aware of anybody having something off the front of a house without a roof

8:42 am

doseffing

... house my parents bought when I was a kid had a porch or landing at the front door without a covering or roof ...

8:43 am

hurshy

ah yes, i googled "front deck" and now realize i HAVE seen houses like that

8:43 am

doseffing

... strictly speaking ... I'll bet that a veranda is meant to be bigger than a porch ... ... a porch would just give a landing in front of the door ... while a veranda would be in front of the greater part of the front of the houise

8:43 am

hurshy

bzzzzt

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I am sitting on my back deck now. 1/3 is uncovered. 1/3 has s roof. 1/3 is screened-in.

8:45 am

hurshy

oh now you're just making things difficult on purpose

8:46 am

hurshy

10 left!

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I don't know what is the best word, I just call it my back deck.

8:46 am

doseffing

... There's another word for that ... I caught a few minutes of some travel show or history show ... I think it's Charleston S.C. that has a lot of houses like that and there was some special architectural description of it

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go!

8:48 am

doseffing

... oh you're miles ahead of me ... just got to 80% ... time to go do some school work ... ... luck to all

8:48 am

hurshy

phantom: dander

8:49 am

hurshy

the AL7 is an invasive fish that washes up on the shores of the great lakes in massive numbers after spawning. They're small silvery and smelly. There was a parody song that uses The Sound of Music's "Edelweis" as a base.
