If you're talking about Sprite's clue, then you should just be able to add an 's' to the end of it. If not, it's a different word - and can we have a clue please!

p8/55x2 one is the plural of p7/40; the other is the act of being a mother/father

Anj: Thanks for throwing me the H bones. I'm only missing one now. Have the three snakey whotsits and the enzyme. Could you expand on the "misspelt tall" clue? How many letters? Assuming it starts with "hy" like the rest.

10:47 am

Denny

karen n6/21 - extend your n4 to bring it closer!

10:48 am

Anj

Judi, it's a hy4/10 - sounds like distance from base to tip of an object/building/mountain/statue etc

10:48 am

Babbler

Uneaixoise

yes, it's a lichen

10:59 am

Babbler

thx Uneaixoise! that's the only combo I didn't try!

11:00 am

GeoBabble

It's a lichen, but why is the plural not allowed?

11:00 am

Uneaixoise

it's that pesky BabbleLogic

11:03 am

GeoBabble

Like the past tense of co8/60 co10/105

11:05 am

Anj

I thought of that co10 Geo, but the rules only allow 9 letter words as far as I understand

11:06 am

GeoBabble

ah, the single decimal digit barrier...

11:06 am

jamiekins

There have been plenty of 10-letter words in other puzzles. Just for some reason babble only considers that a noun, not a verb.

11:12 am

jamiekins

Finally found one!

This puzzle has a 10 letter word, and an 11 letter word.

i just got here a little bit ago..and read some of the messages. Do you mean there is a CO word for 105 pts?..omg, any clues?..I doubt I would ever find it by myself!!

11:19 am

jamiekins

I don't know where you see the 105, but there is a CO word for 60 points. It's been hinted at in several places.

11:21 am

lianakate

jami..ty. I was going mad..lol. There are some mighty large scoring words in this puzzle..

11:21 am

Anj

Lianakate, the game won't accept the 105 pointer. We were just talking possibilities :)

ah ok - sorry its the number of words and the breakdown I was referring to

lola100

Thanks sherb :)

11:37 am

cathy22w

fmitch... you can normally find that by scrolling down... later on in the day somebody comes and gives a total breakdown of two letters/values... that's always good when you're struggling with the last few!

11:38 am

Anj

No chance Lola ...i've got to get some nosebag myself and I have guests tonight so won't get back into this until much later on. I'm getting twitchy already :(

11:40 am

lola100

Anj- it's awful when life gets in the way of babble, isn't it? Hahahaha :)

11:41 am

Anj

It's terrible. This is the 5th night running i've been out (same again tomorrow...) so i've been playing catch-up in the midnight hours. We need clones :)

11:43 am

lola100

What a good idea! But the question is- would the clone play babble for you or live your life?

11:47 am

Anj

50:50, but we would need a hive mind so we both know what's what or it could get a bit wild lol

11:49 am

lola100

Okay, there is something creepy about the phrase "hive-mind"..... lol :)

11:51 am

Anj

I know, but it's quicker than debriefing sessions each day and cuts out any sly shenanigans :)

11:53 am

lola100

I still don't think it would overcome the problem of having one word left to find and it's one you are sure you've already entered!

11:55 am

Anj

...so much for 'attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion' then. Back to the drawing board :)

12:04 pm

lola100

Right, have to feed family now. Be back later :)

12:05 pm

DarleenMB

Anj ... was that a Cult ref?

12:06 pm

Anj

Which bit? The Batty moment? I was confusing sims with clones I think.

12:06 pm

DarleenMB

attack ships ...

12:09 pm

Anj

Hang on...Cult ref as in Blade Runner or Cult as in Astbury/Duffy?? Lack of nutrition is goofing with my brain cell

12:10 pm

DarleenMB

ASTBURY!!! :-) one of my FAVES and one of my fave songs. Next to Fire Woman, of course cause that's my theme song. (playing with fire for a living does that to you)

12:11 pm

DarleenMB

And silly me to have forgotten that stunning line from the movie. ONe of my fave bits. Always brings a tear to my eye.

12:11 pm

mtnjock

Anj, you have more than one brain cell... ;)

12:13 pm

Chip

I've got the two mythical snake beast H words, any help with the other two

12:14 pm

mtnjock

Chip, dogs love this... located on the sidewalk

12:15 pm

Chip

mtnjock...I thought of that but the spelling doesn't work

12:16 pm

Anj

Cool :) Love Removal Machine is my fave, although In the Clouds gets a close second. I've got a pic of Astbury with 4 of my friends taken at Finsbury Park in June '92 when they headlined :)

12:17 pm

DarleenMB

AUGH! I am SO INSANELY jealous!

12:18 pm

jamiekins

Chip - there are three words of the mythical beast, one related enzyme and 4-letter Scottish adjective meaning insane.

12:19 pm

Anj

I'd better not mention that we met him at the Subterranea on the previous evening's warm-up gig then... ;)

12:20 pm

DarleenMB

THUD.

12:21 pm

smithchick

Hi, can anyone help me with my last re6/33? It isn't the one where you change the color of something again.

12:24 pm

Chip

I'm still just not seeing it

12:26 pm

Anj

Sorry Darleen :) You just stirred a memory...i've seen them 15 times. First on the Love tour in '84, last on the Beauty... tour in '94 and best at the Marquee in '91

12:27 pm

Debs40ish

Morning Chick... How's you?

12:28 pm

DarleenMB

(moans) ... oxygen, please.

12:28 pm

jamiekins

Chip - Don't try to go with the dogs loving it clue. That will only lead you to the words you already have. That word that you're thinking of is not in the puzzle.

12:31 pm

smithchick

Fairly well, considering... How about yourself? What time is it there? I thought you were only on here in the wee hours of our morning over here!

12:31 pm

Chip

Jamiekins...I got that much...I went with the Scottish route and the puzzle's telling me that it's not a word (though the scottish dictionary says it is)

12:32 pm

Debs40ish

It's 18:30.. I'm only normally here during your early hours... Just thought I'd nip in and see if I could find any more. Don't know why I bothered...lol

12:33 pm

Anj

Darleen, they keep getting namechecked is an 'influential' band now so a reformation is probably on the cards :)

MTNJock...found another brain cell in a distant orbit :)

12:34 pm

Debs40ish

That word you want... Ermm simple clue is repeating something isn't so again!

12:34 pm

jamiekins

Chip - Sometimes the puzzle doesn't accept words but then if you keep trying it will. That, or you're not spelling it the way the puzzle wants. There aren't too many combos of H4 words possible, though, so it's easy to try them all.

12:34 pm

smithchick

My kids are back in school, so I can't stay up until the wee hours as often, or I am not fully functioning the next day. No more sleeping in for me unless hubby is home (which isn't often). How many have you got? 196 and just about of steam.

12:35 pm

Debs40ish

219...and ran out ages ago!..

12:35 pm

jamiekins

The clue Deb gave is for the Re6/30. The Re6/33 you are missing is a porter in a train station. Or a bad creature the kids study in Harry Potter.

12:36 pm

Debs40ish

Did you mean words or kids?....

12:36 pm

jamiekins

I think we're still missing several 7s that haven't been posted about. Anyone have them?

Debs40ish

Sorry Jamie...I'm just a confused person!...lol

12:37 pm

DarleenMB

Anj, well, thanks for that. Better make some more room on the ol' iPod.

12:37 pm

Debs40ish

c40 x 2

12:39 pm

smithchick

LOL! Kids of course! Doesn't everyone have at least 200 of them?

12:40 pm

Debs40ish

I have four.... feels like 200! and 2 grandsons lol

12:41 pm

smithchick

Thanks for the re6/33 jamiekins! Finally got it. I was looking the wrong way. My three feel like a couple of hundred, too debs.

12:42 pm

jamiekins

Oh, man! I just found the first C/7/40 after a lot of searching and thought I was doing fine. Now I have to find another!?!?!

I have the one meaning believable. Any clue for the other?

12:43 pm

Debs40ish

Jamie....Clothes after washing... or my face in a few years time!

12:44 pm

jamiekins

Oooh - That's all twisted around in there, but a good one!

12:44 pm

smithchick

jamiekins, there was a clue in an earlier posting about the other c7. I couldn't find it but if I remember correctly, it had something to do with tilting a ship over to scrape the bottom or something, and it went with a c6 and a c8. Hope that helps!

12:44 pm

jamiekins

That was the C/7/36, but I've already got that one. Thanks! :)

12:45 pm

Debs40ish

My face looks nothing like the bottom of a ship!... Ermm then again!

12:46 pm

lianakate

hive mind?..ewwwww, mebbe gestalt too.

12:47 pm

smithchick

Tee hee Didn't realize there were two c7/36's! Thanks for that clue, debs. Now I've got them both.

12:47 pm

Chip

ok, finally got the h4...that gives me 4, 5, and 6 can someone help with the missing link.

12:48 pm

smithchick

Oh wait, no! There aren't two c7/36's! There are two c7/40's. Sheesh... I am losing it. My brain has become completely babbled!

12:48 pm

jamiekins

Chip - There's another 6 (different plural form) and a 7 (enzyme related to mythical beast word)

smithchick - I have the ship c/7/36 but it's the only one. What's the other?

12:48 pm

Debs40ish

yw :) Well think I'll go get some ironing done now Jamie reminded me it needed doing!.. Cheers Jamie...gawd...lol Cya Chick take care x

12:49 pm

jamiekins

OK, then nevermind my last post. ;)

12:49 pm

Anj

...two c7/36s? And another c7/40??

...bleat :(

12:50 pm

smithchick

Bye deb. Now I have to feel guilt because I'm not doing my laundry. :)

12:51 pm

Debs40ish

Blame Jamie.. all his fault!...lol Cya later..take care, be happy & smile... Lifes too short :)

12:52 pm

jamiekins

Hey, you could have given the clue that it's an area on a hockey rink and forgotten the laundry altogether. I take no responsibility! LOL! :)

12:52 pm

smithchick

Chip, the h's all start the same except for the h4. Just mess around with your endings. Make one plural, etc.
ANJ!! Don't look for another c7/36! I was wrong! (But don't tell my husband that-as far as he is concerned, he's to believe that never happens).

12:53 pm

jamiekins

Ooooh - There's an excellent C/7/48. Waterfall.

12:55 pm

jamiekins

And a second P/7/40 that must just be an alternate spelling of the other one.

12:59 pm

mtnjock

Yeah I found the P9...

12:59 pm

jamiekins

There's a D9, A P8 and 2 P7s.

1:00 pm

mtnjock

ooopsss ... too quick, it was the P8/55

1:00 pm

jamiekins

Sorry, make that 2 P8s.

1:10 pm

EvaNadine

i have the P8/55 dealing with families...and hints on the other P8 or the Ca8/55?

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, found the C8, just need the P8

1:16 pm

jamiekins

The other P/8/55 goes with the two P7s and a P6 and is the one referred to somewhere earlier - a fabric band worn around the brim of a hat or sun helmet. Also an indian scarf.

1:22 pm

EvaNadine

thanks jamiekins!

1:23 pm

EvaNadine

does anyone have a list of all the 7s? im missing 3:

1:26 pm

smithchick

another c7/40 and a c7/48

1:27 pm

Hugabugs

I have a G7/40, but can't find the G7/44.... any clues for that one?

1:28 pm

jamiekins

evanadine - also e/7/52

GingerUK - see 6:01am clue

hugabugs - it's a color word, and refers to the state or quality of being that color.

1:28 pm

GingerUK

forget the D9 clue... I have the word but don't remember getting it!!!!

1:29 pm

Chessy

Hugabugs, It's like the plural of a g5/12, but said with a lisp...

1:29 pm

edmo

de9/72
unsweetened

1:32 pm

Hugabugs

jamiekins and Chessy, thanks for the hints. Got it now.

Err... how about for that elusive E7/52???

1:35 pm

EvaNadine

my C7/40 means folded or wrinkled. any clues on the other?
or the C7/48?

1:36 pm

Uneaixoise

waterfall was the earlier clue for c7/48

1:37 pm

Hugabugs

evanadine - credible

1:37 pm

Anj

Good shout for the D9 Edmo :)

Hi Chessy

1:39 pm

EvaNadine

Hugabugs, is that for the C7/40?

1:39 pm

Hugabugs

evanadine, Oh yeah... sorry it is

1:45 pm

EvaNadine

*whew* just need the E7 and ive got all the biggies. and hints on that yet?

1:46 pm

Hugabugs

evanadine, I'm searching for that one too, then all of my biggies will also be complete

1:50 pm

smithchick

It's a flammable gas. et

1:51 pm

Chessy

Hi Anj, how's trix?

1:52 pm

EvaNadine

thanks smithchick!!
probably wont finish the puzzle today, but at least now i can rest knowing i have all the biggies.
:)

1:53 pm

Hugabugs

smithchick, thanks... you're a brain saver! ;o)

1:54 pm

smithchick

You're welcome! Believe it or not, I actually happened upon that one tooling around instead of using a2z (which I love, BTW- I don't care what the purists say)!

1:55 pm

smithchick

Does anyone have all the e's? I'm missing a boatload of them. I've only got 10. Eek!

1:57 pm

Hugabugs

smithchick, I'm up to 21. Let me work out a breakdown

2:02 pm

Hugabugs

My e's so far... Missing 3

Thanks, hugabugs. The only thing I have that you don't is an ea6/21. It is a plural.

2:10 pm

lola100

I have ey4/7 x 4 :)

2:12 pm

Hugabugs

Thanks, lola got it.

smithchick, none of my ea's can be pluralized

2:14 pm

jamiekins

Both of your E/5/12s are verbs. One has a past tense, the other has another verb form with an s on the end.

2:14 pm

lola100

Just found a third ea5/12 which can be pluralised :)

2:16 pm

jamiekins

Right, sorry, there are 3. I just missed one of them when looking at my list.

2:16 pm

Hugabugs

lola, just found both the ea5 and ea6. E's are done

Woohoo! Didn't think there were that many words starting with e! ;o)

2:17 pm

2:36 pm

lola100

Yes, hugabugs, my mistake. I have 1 x d9 not d8!

2:41 pm

Judi

Thanks, Lola100. I meant D9 and I got that one. The e7 still eludes.

3:08 pm

Hugabugs

mo, you need another o4/6

3:10 pm

mo

3:14 pm

Hugabugs

For the y7 and y8.... think fiscally

3:15 pm

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

tbear

Blaze there are 3 ca5/16...other than military person,if someone had been hanging around with an eye to burglary,we'd say they had _____ the joint... ....HOW long winded am I???

6:20 pm

wilson27fan

6:27 pm

Anj

They're a great bunch. Never felt so welcome in a pub that wasn't my local before. Tell them that i'm coming back - that should change their tune lol

6:27 pm

lianakate

You all seem to know each other!! That's so nice. I just moved away from my home (800 miles) , so am homesick..and lonely..ACK..my children are back there..AND my grandchildren..

6:29 pm

Anj

Hey Lianakate, we're all part of happy family that is Babble :) 800 miles? I don't think I can move that far in this country (UK)

6:30 pm

6:33 pm

Anj

Dr G should use that as a tag line lol

6:34 pm

Chessy

You're never aclone if you babble ...

6:34 pm

tbear

Just keep babbling,just keep babbling.....(finding nemo)

6:35 pm

tbear

6:36 pm

tbear

Freezing

6:40 pm

lianakate

I appreciate your sentiments..Thanks, all. Now..GIVE ME ALL YOUR ANSWERS....bwaaaaaaahahahahahahaha...

6:41 pm

Anj

Yup, it takes a little while to refresh sometimes. Patience is a virtue as well as an Opera :)
My ADSL connection is having a bit of a hissy fit for some reason, mind you...

6:41 pm

Anj

Lianakate - 42 :) It's the only answer you need lol

6:44 pm

lianakate

6:45 pm

Jera

Need help with H's please, I have monster, monsters, & sounds like how tall you are.

6:47 pm

Gwen

Jera, you need 2 more monsters

6:48 pm

Anj

Jera, you need monsters with a 'latin' ending instead of the s (h5), and an enzyme which sounds like monsters with both the normal and latin plural letters in place (h7)
Hope that makes sense %)

6:49 pm

Gwen

Hy7/56, An enzyme that catalyzes the addition or removal of water from a substrate

6:50 pm

Jera

More latin, eh?? Thanks Anj & Gwen!

6:51 pm

Jera

Now I need last 2 N's... I have 2 for close, 2 for gotta have, & 2 for geek.

6:52 pm

Jera

I mean 3 for gotta have

6:53 pm

tbear

just to make you all feel good I've only got 100 words and I'm off to bed...don't feel too bad about it tho,don't use any help really...Night night all...xx

6:54 pm

lianakate

did any of you hear about the hurricane here?..My marine is going to work the ins. claims..for 6 months!!! Itis the worse I have ever seen in my lifetime! I usually go to help with paperwork ..but not this time..those poor people!!

6:55 pm

Gwen

Jera, last ne4 is a tide

6:56 pm

Gwen

and 3 gotta haves

6:56 pm

Jera

Thanks, Gwen can't believe I didn't remember that one from past puzzles.

6:56 pm

Uneaixoise

that's all i've watched on tv all day--horrible--and it's going to get worse before it gets better--no potable water, no electricity, no phones . . . rising water . . .

6:57 pm

Jera

Now the wicked, wicked G's!

6:58 pm

Anj

Saw the pics from Canal Street, New Orleans on the international news. Looks pretty horrific over there. Is it blowing itself out yet?

7:01 pm

tedybeth

Does anyone remember if any of our 'babblers' are from the areas devestated in the hurricane?

My son is going to the Mobile area to work in water damage clean up -- his boss said may be gone a month ....

This storm makes all the ones we endured here in central FL last year look very, very 'simple'

7:10 pm

Anj

Tedybeth, I believe Cat2 mentioned she was in the zone

7:19 pm

tabbycat

Hi tedybeth
I'm in central FL too

7:20 pm

Jera

Need help with G's please... gr4/8, not color... gr5/12, again not color... gr6/33, not color or wants too much... & gr7/44. Whew! TIA!

7:20 pm

Charm

Hailing from NW Florida - in the panhandle. We had a truly close call here and are simply grateful to have escaped Katrina.

7:22 pm

tabbycat

Katrina was a real monster. I feel so sorry for everyone in its path.

7:23 pm

Gwen

Jera, gr4/8 color without last letter. gr5 plural

7:25 pm

Gwen

Jera, add past tense to ones you have

7:26 pm

swmbo

Good evening Babblers...

7:26 pm

Anj

Jera, there is no other gr6/33 from the two you have.
The gr7/44 is the colour again, plural, with a lisp.

7:27 pm

Gwen

hi swmbo!

jera, one gr needs a 'th' ending

7:27 pm

Chessy

Would welcome clues please:
se5/14
re6/33 not colour again
ga7/36 not growing places
gu5/16
ca6/24 not swerve
ca6/33

love you brandyjack!

7:32 pm

Anj

...second that :) Unless of course we're both males in which case you'll have to settle for a firm handshake ;)

7:32 pm

brandyjack

I'll take the firm handshake.........

7:33 pm

brandyjack

Not sure why people think I'm female. Maybe they're off their meds.....

7:33 pm

dromano66

are there five sn's....i can only find four

7:36 pm

SunnFlower

you were referred to as she the other day which are you? which do you think I am? many names are asexual

7:36 pm

kristin

I assumed brandyjack came from booze - brandy and jack daniels, not the least bit feminine!

7:37 pm

Jera

Giving up on G's Q's are more valuable... I have royalty (2), odd, & the scottish heifer. Need 2 more a 5 & a 7 (I hope I didn't mess up this list!). TIA!

7:38 pm

mab

No one asked, but, brandyjack, I've always thought you male. Your writing style is distinctly masculine. Just my impression. Thank you for the letters. Are you a mountie, or maybe a lumberjack? Stereotypes. Sorry.

7:38 pm

Jera

I thought both Anj & brandyjack were female (not that it matters), short for Angela & Brandy is usually a girl's name here.

7:38 pm

Anj

lmao - happened to me as well. Maybe Dr G could add sex symbols to the buddy icons to avoid embarassing mix ups.

7:39 pm

swmbo

"He's a lumberjack and he's OK, he sleeps all night and he works all day..."

7:41 pm

Chessy

Thanx kristin for your help - found the barracks..

7:43 pm

Anj

...er, the 3rd verse gets a bit dodgy there swmbo :).

7:44 pm

swmbo

Ah, but that's why we love it...

7:47 pm

tedybeth

tabbycat & CSA -- we FL residents have been blessed this year, after taking it on the chin [and a few other places] last year!!

Brandyjack -- whatever your gender, you are 'tops' in my book for doing all of these stats so diligently!!! Thanks

7:49 pm

tabbycat

tedybeth, don't speak too soon. Season't not over yet.
Will be happy if it stays nice this coming weekend since we are planning a trip to the Keys

7:50 pm

SunnFlower

and in mine too ,still too many words short, so tired

7:50 pm

brandyjack

tedybeth, you are quite welcome. It's an enjoyable (ok, addictive) game.

7:50 pm

Jera

Need help on last 2 Q's, my kids want me to watch a movie with them... have royalty (2), odd, & the scottish heifer. Need 2 more a 5 & a 7 (I hope I didn't mess up this list!). TIA!

7:51 pm

Jera

This is as close as I get to relaxing, which is actually kinda sad. ;>

7:52 pm

brandyjack

Jera, for the Q7, when you get your checker to the far side of the board you get ...... Now switch genders.

7:52 pm

Charm

Tedybeth - nothing to do but keep the chin up and upper lip stiff. We thought Ivan got us, but that was nothing compared to this, I think. Best is to try to keep life as "normal" as possible.
And, brandyjack - xoxoxo.....

7:53 pm

kristin

Jera your 5/18 is a primitive grain mill

7:55 pm

brandyjack

thanks Kristin, I needed that one too. After picking my jaw off the floor for actually knowing what it was.......

Jera, For me, this exercise in frustration IS relaxation......

7:55 pm

Charm

Need help, please, on the D7 and D9. Clues, anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

7:56 pm

brandyjack

to remove the sweetener, verb and past tense........

7:57 pm

Anj

hahaha CSA - think unsweeten/ed :)

7:57 pm

Jera

Thank you, kristin & brandyjack... I thought I had all the royalty! Taking off to spend time with kids. Might be back later to battle the P's. 173/2904 is resectable (but I wanna break into the top 100 ranking!). Happy babbling!

8:01 pm

Charm

Anj & Brandyjack - thank you, thank you. And that's me done for the day. The Monster Baby wants attention before he'll fall sleep. Happy babbling, all. "See" y'all on the morrow.....

8:03 pm

kebek

if you upgrade, does it take a while for it to actually go into effect?

8:03 pm

brandyjack

was instantaneous for me

8:04 pm

Loma

I upgraded but it's not working for me yet

8:04 pm

brandyjack

you have to log in as upgraded and then upload the picture into your profile.

8:04 pm

kebek

me too. the not working part, that is. :(

8:06 pm

Doogle

Evenin', Folks! This is pretty cool!

8:06 pm

Loma

Do I log in somewhere different?

8:08 pm

brandyjack

no, same place. I didn't get any message about whether my payment was accepted or rejected. it just asked me to log in as a babbler pro

8:09 pm

mab

Any alternative clue to "barracks?" Having trouble seeing it. swmbo, Anj, are you Britons? Much more verbally flexible than many USians. Than envious me.

8:14 pm

Chessy

Last 6 to go. Can anyone help with these pleeeese
se5/14
re6/33 not colour again
ga7/36 not growing places
gu5/16
ca6/33
ca4/7 not calf or picture game
many thanx

8:17 pm

Anj

Chessy, ga7/36 - colour, past tense :)

8:18 pm

mab

ca 4/7: vexing men who will kiss and tell.

8:18 pm

brandyjack

now why was that one so easy.....

8:19 pm

swmbo

mab, I am a canadian

8:20 pm

Anj

Oops, er, Chessy, that was a gr7/36 actually...which U didn't ask for. So I will go and sit in the corner, play with my worry beads and twitch a little for now.
'scuse me... :(

8:21 pm

cathy22w

evening all..... 132 down... 118 to go.... blimey

8:22 pm

SunnFlower

does anyone else keep getting spyware on there system whilst babbling?

8:22 pm

brandyjack

i just spent too much time looking for that ge7/36 that doesn't exist.

8:23 pm

brandyjack

yah, it's from that dictionary lookup page.... not exactly spyware, just pop-unders.....

8:24 pm

SunnFlower

havent been on the dictionary page

8:25 pm

mab

Canadians are similiarly better educated, I think. USians must get bogged down on silly social issues and no one learns anything. Education here has no solid core, or sense of history.

8:25 pm

SunnFlower

skybot picks it up

8:26 pm

brandyjack

probably because we don't really have any history. Or at least, extremely uneventful.

8:27 pm

swmbo

mab, I respect your opinion, but that hasn't been my experience with Americans, not at all...

8:34 pm

Chessy

Thanks Anj, seems I did need the gr7. It's late & I'm a bit confused:) Think I still need:
se5/14
re6/33 not colour
gu5/15
ca6/33

8:34 pm

brandyjack

i was referring to our Canadian history.

8:37 pm

brandyjack

For the Gu5/14, Carthagenian plant used as an antidote to serpent bites.

8:38 pm

swmbo

Well, BrandyJack, I don't know about you, but my ancestors were uprooted, deported, scattered and then returned to Acadie 250 years ago and I think that was eventful!!!

8:42 pm

brandyjack

most of my ancestors were recent immigrants (early 20th century) from Britain, Denmark and not so recently from Ireland

8:43 pm

Chessy

Thanx brandyjack - not an everyday word!:)

8:45 pm

swmbo

I do get your point tho about Canadian history. We are a relatively new nation with not a long written history...

8:47 pm

brandyjack

what I wouldn't give too unearth a 9,000,000 pound cache of Roman coin in my backyard....

8:50 pm

swmbo

LOL

8:50 pm

calicomo

Good Evening Swimmy.... How are you doing tonight?

8:52 pm

brandyjack

I have a collection of ancient coins and I can sit there for hours looking at them and day dreaming........ Several in the 1800-2000 years old range, one is 2700 years old.... it just boggles my mind...

8:53 pm

swmbo

Just grand Callie. Are you a babbling idiot yet, or merely a babbling brook?

8:55 pm

calicomo

I fear I am hooked.... Alas, and Alack! I shall never be the same. LOL

8:56 pm

swmbo

yes, very old things are mind boggling, i think. I am even more moved by mummies and their wrappings, etc. I look at the woven fabric and think of the person who made it. Or pot sherds. Not that I have a personal collection, mind you. Museum stuff...

8:56 pm

swmbo

Yes, I am hooked too. I wish the games had fewer words though, I almost never have time tio finish...

8:59 pm

calicomo

I do miss the old DOL days though...

8:59 pm

brandyjack

it's the chase that counts, not the finish....

9:01 pm

Dr_God

Congrats to Doogle and brandyjack for being the first ones to get their buddy icons. The chat log is lookin' a little spiffier now. :)

9:41 pm

Chessy

Doogle, the re goes before your de4/8

9:43 pm
