:)

9:27 am

lola100

Hi all! I think we can just think of babble as a toddler: drives you crazy sometimes, leaves you with no spare time and uses words it shouldn't without knowing what they mean :)

9:28 am

Chessy

9:50 am

EvaNadine

just a request, especially when the chatlog is this short...
please read what has already been posted, especially when it comes to clues on words, so the same thing isnt repeated too many times. its a lot easier to find clues when theyre just posted once, and it also keeps the log from getting so long.
:)

9:50 am

ExWren

Just come back.
Thought I had done well on my own with 103/1025. Can't believe I only have about half of the words!

Jera, 'to sail the seven .....' or possibly, 'seven ...... of rhye' if you're a Queen fan :)

10:16 pm

Jera

Coulda sworn I plugged that in already indesperation. Thanks!

10:16 pm

Jera

Now on to the 87 CO's (weeping quietly into keyboard)...

10:18 pm

Jera

Oh wait, there's only 7 more!!

10:19 pm

Anj

Steady girl...4 of them are all US spellings of shades, tints, hues. Think washing machine cycles :)

10:23 pm

Jera

I have the tint run, I think, but only 3: co5/14, then ed & plural ed. Is ther another from that root (hue, tint, etc)??

10:24 pm

Anj

Yup - take your 7/40 and switch the d for an r (on the end)

10:26 pm

Jera

Yikes. Thanks... woulda never guessed that one!

10:31 pm

Jera

Okay, how about the CO5, I have tint & shelter

10:35 pm

Anj

Make your shelter past tense or plural, and make your first co4/6 (sounds like fossil fuel) past tense.
Should be 4 x co5s in all :)

10:38 pm

Jera

Thanks, now the big ones, 2 co6 & 2 co7.

10:39 pm

Jera

I have one with a U that has no def, as well.

10:43 pm

Anj

well there's a co6/24 & 7/36 (plural) which is to do with molten or solidified lava flows (and also sounds like a thin puree you get in posh nosh places :) )

10:45 pm

Anj

The other co7/36 is the iron blade fixed in front of the share in a plough. (Also sounds like a scottish F1 racing driver without the D on the end :) )

10:47 pm

Anj

The last cu6/24 doesn't have a def, but sounds like the mechanic in the Dukes of Hazzard :) Crazy C...... comin' at ya!

10:49 pm

Anj

Ar$e! meany CO6/24...sorry :'(

10:53 pm

Jera

Well, that was very interesting but I found no co words in my volcanic searchin. :)

10:55 pm

Jera

Got the crazy one already, that's what I meant by the U... hard to communicate crptically.

10:56 pm

Anj

OK, dam on the Columbia River - biggest in the US :)
(and plural)

11:02 pm

Jera

Down to 2, a co6 & a co7. I have the crazy & the dam for the 6... the tints & the plow.

11:03 pm

syncopate

Can anyone help me with the re6/27 that isn't to do with government?

11:05 pm

Anj

Jera, I reckon add an S to your dam, and take a U out of your plow :)

11:06 pm

Jera

What you do to get your stuff out of hock.

11:07 pm

Jera

Eureeka! Thanks for the spoon-feeding, Anj, you're a jewel.

11:07 pm

Anj

Syncopate, it means to pay off (as in mortgage) or save from a state of sin. The 7/40 is the plural :)

11:07 pm

Jera

Syncopate, did I help you at all?

11:08 pm

syncopate

Thanks jera - I always miss the obvious ones

11:08 pm

Jera

Ye gods, no, I only have 142... I won't finish, but I want to get as many as I can. I'd really like to break into the top 100 (137 now)!

11:16 pm

syncopate

de5s, jera:
to judge, to clean an airplane's wing, and to prevent

11:17 pm

Anj

Last few - I have to kip in a mo - it's 5:15am here and the dawn chorus is in full swing lol

11:18 pm

Anj

The 'clean aeroplane's wing' could also be chip the frozen stuff off your windscreen.

11:18 pm

Jera

Yay! For the de4's I have bambi, bug spray, tea leaves, judge, & there with a cold.

11:19 pm

Jera

Just a bit past midnight here, & my 4 year old is up sick with a cold... he's sitting beside me practicing his handwriting... I hope that will put him to sleep! ;>

11:21 pm

Anj

Jera, sounds like you have all the de4s...

11:23 pm

syncopate

that's all I've got, Jera, although I thought one was the letter d, not tea leaves.

11:24 pm

Jera

I do now, thanks... could I hear about the ni5 before you go??

11:25 pm

Jera

It's what I always called the yucky mess at the bottom of a cup of real tea, not in a bag... they are bitter.

11:25 pm

syncopate

ni5 clues at 11:30 am

11:27 pm

Jera

And maybe the roots for the V's, I have civic duty & electric

11:27 pm

Anj

That's about it. If you know european adverts think Renault Clio - 'Papa! Ni.....!' Girls name :)

11:30 pm

Anj

Vs - take your 1st vo4/7 and put a 'ut' in it. (Then past and present too) YOu also have the electricity V woth an extra 'e' on the end (and plural)

11:31 pm

Jera

Thanks syncopate... took me a while but I got it! Do you have the V's?

11:33 pm

Anj

Got to get my beauty sleep now lol. Good luck with the rest :)

11:34 pm

Jera

Thanks Anj, you're the cat's!

11:36 pm

Jera

Yay! I finished the V's!!

11:37 pm

Jera

I'm gonna work on the P's & M's since they are more valuable than the S's or T's.

11:40 pm

syncopate

Ms are fun if you like animals - one used for furs, quiet as a ____, one sound a cat makes...

11:45 pm

Jera

I only need 4 me's, trying to figure out which ones!

11:48 pm

Jera

Clue for ME6, not intro to new people?

11:49 pm

melissamay

any clue for pi7/48?

11:49 pm

Doogle

Jera - think rocks in space.

11:50 pm

syncopate

me6 - an asteroid falling from the sky

11:50 pm

Doogle

Mellissa May - see Denny's clue at 1:04 p.m.

11:51 pm

syncopate

The pi7s and 8 seem to come from an embroidery term - put pi in front of something you sleep on, and then give it three different endings

11:52 pm

Doogle

Melissa May - sorry... that was for the Pi44. Just make it past tense.

11:52 pm

Jera

Got it, yay!

11:52 pm

melissamay

Doogle, I thought that was for pi7/44 -- I have it, and french clown -- isn't there another pi7?

11:53 pm

syncopate

pi 7/48 - just past tense your 7/44

11:53 pm

Jera

Now need 2 me5's not parking or wages

11:54 pm

Doogle

One Me5 is "dealt out," as in a punishment.

11:55 pm

melissamay
