Debs40ish

Not so bad thanks... Daughter went back to school yesterday.... Haven't seen you for a while

12:21 am

smithchick

Mine are back to school too. I've been trying to be a good girl and get enough sleep (just because my hubby hasn't been here to get them to school for me). Hubby comes home tomorrow. It can go one of two ways- he indulges my obsession and isn't a bear if I stay up late (and even gladly gets the kids ready) or I have to go to bed early to appease him.

12:25 am

Debs40ish

I got rid of mine..... Husband I mean not kids....lol

1:15 am

BrotherCaine

Dr_God, when you hide or show icons it reverts to show only last 50 messages. Not that I mind, but you might.

1:15 am

cbr1965

I've got that one -

1:15 am

brandyjack

nothing like a little measured pressure eh?

1:15 am

Jera

I wish I could call it a night, but my 4 year old is a nite owl... he's coloring beside me (& counting in Spanish, LOL)

Jera

I'm at 84, gonna try to make 100 before I knock off

1:21 am

Jera

Well, I'm just sorry, word-length-wise... my longest is 6 letters & it's a plural!

1:21 am

BrotherCaine

Ever get fixated on word you can almost get like prequel?

1:22 am

BrotherCaine

Jera, try some in or en prefixes

1:23 am

Blaze

I just want to change the P to an R for donair and a few almost other words... Yet I can not see the ones I am looking for like the 8 letter I etc.....

1:27 am

BrotherCaine

p7/40

1:27 am

Jera

Why the heck isn't pyro a word??

1:28 am

Blaze

is there a clue for that p 7/44

1:29 am

BrotherCaine

sorry, disregard my p7 Blaze got it already. I searched the comments for p7 instead of p 7.

1:29 am

Blaze

p 4/9 same word different ending pryro

1:29 am

Jera

I get fixated a lot here, BrotherCaine! Not a very good game for OCD... or maybe it is, depending on how you look at it!

1:30 am

Jera

I love fire, so I got that one!

1:37 am

Jera

Oooh finally found some good ones with the in & en tips... thanks, BrotherCaine!

1:37 am

Kerrina

sorry I am very new to this game - why isnt spain a valid word please ?

1:40 am

Blaze

Like scrabble country names are not used nor peoples name etc..... see babble rules upper right hand corner of web page.... good luck it is a great game and good chat

1:41 am

Jera

A lot of place names, proper nouns are not allowed (but some are!). Never hurts to try!

1:43 am

Blaze

and then there are some words that you only find in the dictionary.... and they can have some bizzare spellings.

1:44 am

FMitch

morning all
i8, e8, p8 - anyone know what the other 8 is?

1:44 am

BrotherCaine

I keep forgetting to try British words.

1:45 am

BrotherCaine

s8 according to BrandyJack

1:45 am

Blaze

Brother Caine don't forget the scot. welsh and india words tooooo

1:46 am

FMitch

ooo missed that posting, thanks

1:47 am

BrotherCaine

I do searches for '8/' and '7/' to mine the comments.

1:51 am

Jera

Well, I've found 100, no more jumping out at me, so I'm gonna hit the sack... gotta get up in 4 hours to get my daughter off to school... nite all!

2:15 am

Blaze

2:57 am

FMitch

it's all gone very quiet - can someone help with the 2nd letter for the s8?

3:02 am

Dianne

Fmitch - if I had the s8 I would be happy to help you but alas :(

3:02 am

FMitch

Hi Dianne, was beginning to think I was the only one around lol

3:05 am

Dianne

It's 4 in the afternoon my time so I'm here.

3:06 am

FMitch

Just after 9 here and I must get on with work -106 for 1475 will have to do for now, till next time :)

3:39 am

Tandy

If names are not allowed how come yesterday henry was

3:40 am

Denny

and ralph

3:41 am

Tandy

exactly

3:41 am

Blaze

henry : The unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second.

3:41 am

melissamay

A henry is a unit of measurement and ralph also means to vomit.

3:42 am

macadam

Hello .We`ve had rivers too.tyne etc

3:43 am

Blaze

macadam how are you doing today ??

3:44 am

melissamay

Tyne also means point in zoology. All the medical/science terms make it much tougher.

3:47 am

melissamay

The thing that kills me is all the undefined acronyms -- where do they come from? There are so many words you can only get via monkeytyping.

3:48 am

Blaze

I usually peruse (?) the dictionary....and still can not believe some of the words....that is maybe a great part of babble....learning

3:49 am

melissamay

Me too, Blaze -- I'm constantly clicking words for definitions (and to see if there are plurals I've missed).

3:51 am

Blaze

It is the plurals, etc.... that add the points....

3:55 am

macadam

I`m fine thanks.I still hate needles though.

3:57 am

macadam

Like you I enjoy finding the meaning of words and am constantly surprised that some are words at all.

3:58 am

Blaze

I like the challenge and I have sometimes used a word or two that I have learned....

4:03 am

Jacula

Morning everyone. 238 words today.:-( I'm going to get a few typed in before I have to go out but don't reckon I'll finish today as I'm out tonight, too. (Going to see Pam Ayres' 30th Anniversary show.)

4:05 am

macadam

Hi Jacula.Lucky girl Pam Ayres always makes me laugh.Enjoy.

4:05 am

Jacula

Just been reading the log back - all this talk of rivers. Was looking for 'limpopo'. LOL. Found the north eastern one though.

4:06 am

Jacula

Hi macadam. I saw her live years ago and also once sat next to her and her 2 boys at a Postman Pat show. (Her hubby was the producer. Of the show that is, as well as the 2 boys. LOL.)

4:08 am

macadam

She`s probably wrtten a poem about postman pat.With a twist no doubt.

4:10 am

macadam

Why can`y you have yipee?It`s better than y4/9.

4:11 am

Jacula

More than likely, Macadam. The title of the show is 'They Should Have Asked My Husband'. I've read the poem and it's funny.

4:11 am

melissamay

I wondered that too, macadam!

4:12 am

Jacula

I won't bother typing 'yipee' in then. I'd got it written down. I think it's 'yiPpee' though.

4:12 am

macadam

I`m glad I`m not alone melissamay.

4:13 am

macadam

What`s a p between friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:14 am

Jacula

Speaking of pees and poets, I take it you've both got o4/5? LOL.

4:17 am

Blaze

this puzzle is like a bingo game tonite.....I seem to be missing one letter to make great words....yet I can not seem to get the right words sourced out...

4:17 am

macadam

so far 4 o4`s and 1 o5.Just trying to find the other 2 before having a coffee.

4:17 am

melissamay

Got it, Jac :)

4:18 am

macadam

I`m seeing indolant and wishing I wasn`t

4:20 am

GingerUK

morning everyone (or evening!) is this puzzle as bad as it's looking right now?

4:21 am

melissamay

It's worse, Ginger!

4:21 am

spellit

yep!

4:21 am

Blaze

it got me jeremaid already

4:21 am

Jacula

Morning Ginger.

4:22 am

macadam

Hi Ginger.

4:22 am

Jacula

Spellit - Apparently 'yep's' not a word, not even in plural. ;-)

4:23 am

Jacula

Can't have oreo biscuits either.:-(

4:23 am

HighEnergy

no "nand"? you can't fly into space without nands!

4:24 am

Blaze

and just why not the oreo's

4:25 am

macadam

Thats it Jacula ,now you`ve mentioned biscuits I`m away for a coffee.TTFN

4:25 am

GingerUK

I see what you mean about missing one letter in lots of great words... very frustrating!

4:28 am

Jacula

What the heck are 'nands'??

4:28 am

Jacula

Bye Macadam. I'm off for some breakfast in a min., too.

4:28 am

Blaze

some times that is used as slang for gonads

4:30 am

Jacula

Oh, lol. Thanks for that Blaze. I've heard 'em called 'nads' for short but not 'nands'.

4:31 am

Blaze

it's probably the same or not.....

4:39 am

Dianne

How can there be 25 A words - UGH. I've struggles and struggled and have only come up with 13. This is terrible.

4:40 am

Blaze

I am amazed at 13 I only have

4:41 am

Jacula

Dianne - I've only got 5 so far. I go through all the obvious words first and then start concentrating on it letter by letter.

I suppose we all have different methods of approaching the grid?

4:41 am

Blaze

four a words

OOppss did not mean to post last before finished sentence....like the current words

4:41 am

BrotherCaine

nand - short for not and, a logic gate that outputs true or 1 if either of two inputs are false or 0

4:42 am

Blaze

they why does it not accept it as a word ??

4:43 am

Jacula

I keep wanting to type 'loon' but it won't fit.

4:45 am

Blaze

I am off again until later..... Good Luck

4:46 am

Jacula

Me, too. Got 101 words down. Only 137 to go.:-( TTFN. Good luck everyone.

4:48 am

Dianne

Anyone have a little hint on the i8/55?

4:49 am

BrotherCaine

just like the e8/55 but with an i

4:50 am

GingerUK

what if you don't have the e8 either??? do you have 2nd letters please?

4:50 am

BrotherCaine

look for a c5 and work from there

4:53 am

Dianne

You know I shouldn't play this game - I had the e8 and just didn't do it with the i - pretty dumb of me. Thanks for the nudge.

4:53 am

melissamay

Any hints for the s8? Or the p8, for that matter. Yeesh.

4:54 am

BrotherCaine

p8 from p7 To hold out; to stretch forth

4:55 am

GingerUK

thanks Brother Caine, got several words out of that!!!

4:55 am

BrotherCaine

GingerUK, four or six words? there are two applicable c5s

4:56 am

Dianne

Ginger - when you pay a bill they always tell you to do something with the slip and your payment.

4:56 am

melissamay

Thanks, BrotherCaine. Not one of the p7s I have, but I'll keep looking.

4:59 am

melissamay

Got it BC -- thanks again!

5:00 am

HighEnergy

s8 is a combo of two s4s. kind of like dirtbath.

5:00 am

GingerUK

BrotherCaine.... I got 6 words :)

5:01 am

melissamay

AH! Thank you so much, HighEnergy!

5:04 am

BrotherCaine

thanks HE, and here I thought it was an s7 with a d on the end.

5:12 am

Dianne

So there is an e8, i8 and s8. Anyone know what the last ones is (sorry I was busy trying to work and didn't get to read all the posts).

5:14 am

BrotherCaine

p8 clue at 4:34 am. Use browser find to search for '8/' or '7/' if you don't want to read through the comments.

5:14 am

BrotherCaine

Dianne

11:56 am

Boysaway

Thanks Karenth and Anj. Can I resist???

11:56 am

Jera

I don't think I'm gonna finish this one... I have a Girl Scout meeting tonight!

11:56 am

11:57 am

11:57 am

12:06 pm

Anj

Ginger, just monkeyed the pe6/30 and pe7/44 with the aid of a bit of maths :)
Think 'abduct' and apply it to your cat, dog, gerbil, wombat etc

12:08 pm

mtnjock

e_gurl, one a = by ones self, an an 5/12 works well with transisters, and the ac 7/40 is a variation of that word,

12:09 pm

sprite

Pe6 and 7: what you would call a bit of sleep from your dog or cat (and the plural)

12:09 pm

karenth

brill anj maybe sleepy 4 legged friends

12:10 pm

Anj

y/w e_gurl - just keep your eyes peeled for clues. If it's a bit quiet it's only because folk are concentrating on finding the words themselves :)

al5/10 - solitary
ae4/4 - 'plane
ae4/4 - looooong time
an5/12 - positively charged electrode
an6/21 - plural of the an5/12

12:10 pm

e_gurl85

thank you very much appreciate the help felt stuck for a while

e_gurl85

thank you people i finally got it thank you thank you

12:38 pm

Anj

en8 - completely surrounded
in8 - same as en8 with different start letter
pr8 - sounds like 'not real' plural of the pr7 (which is main character from K-Pax, plus 'finish')
sa8 - two s4s - what you find at the beach plus what you use in the bath*

* not a rubber duck lol

12:39 pm

Jera

Yay, I'm halfway done!!

12:39 pm

6:56 pm

SunnFlower

there isn't a pa39 but there is a py39

6:56 pm

Jacula

Sorry Cathy - couldn't resist the joke. We British and our toilet humour. LOL.

6:56 pm

SunnFlower

sorry should have put po

6:56 pm

Jacula

Oh no! Not another 'py'.:-(

6:58 pm

Jacula

'po'? As in 'guzunder'? LOL. Sorry, toilet humour again. po6/39?

6:58 pm

SunnFlower

6:59 pm

cathy22w

6:59 pm

Jacula

Got the red garnet. It's the 'po' I need.

7:00 pm

snowyowl

Hi all - re po6/39 & py6/39 po6 clue is an offensive term for the practices and rites of the Catholic Church.
the py6 is an anogram of the po6

7:00 pm

swmbo

po6 is what protestants accuse catholics of

7:01 pm

SunnFlower

po/39 = po4/8 there have been a few words with this ending

7:01 pm

kim1

Dr God,
Why aren't we able to see the first letter on our words? Also, is there a way to see ur words next to the puzzle rather than the bottom?

7:02 pm

SunnFlower

sorry should have put po4/8 2

7:02 pm

cathy22w

i can see the first letter, kim

7:02 pm

Jacula

I know the first 3 letter now. It helps... sort of.

7:03 pm

SunnFlower

7:03 pm

Jacula

The words are next to the puzzle, Kim.

7:24 pm

Jacula

What are you stuck on swmbo?

7:28 pm

swmbo

7:29 pm

7:30 pm

Jacula

Is that an n5/14?

7:31 pm

swmbo

i dunno. i never can figure out how people know the word scores...

7:32 pm

kristin

swmbo take bottom n and work around the bottom two rows on the left

7:33 pm

Jacula

ne5/14. If it's that it doesn't have a definition. All I can say by way of a clue is that if you were fishing and got a hole in the keepne* you'd have to sew it up and so might perform a ne****. (In short.)

7:34 pm

lianakate

omg, i have 116 words. The rest I must have NEVER heard of..or they escape me with the twisty turns...who would have thought there could be so many fargin N's.! (sorry about that..i swore.ack)

7:34 pm

swmbo

It is not the one to do with the tides, I have that one

7:35 pm

Jacula

Hiya Lianakate. Are those boys behaving themselves? LOL.

7:35 pm

Jacula

Swmbo - the clue I gave you isn't for the one to do with the tides.

7:36 pm

swmbo

BRILLIANT clue, but I have that one too :(

7:37 pm

swmbo

lianakate, its OK, it was only a teeny swear

7:38 pm

lianakate

Jac...the boys are on temporary suspension..Hijinks in the shower room!! I am not saying what..but the boogers all had a smile on their faces!

7:39 pm

Jacula

Lianakate. Are you now singing that old song, 'Don't, don't, DON'T eat the daisies'??

7:40 pm

lianakate

I dont know how I can be missing 4 s's on the upper left...there are no words..oh waaaaaaaaaaaaaah...i hate the world!

7:40 pm

Jacula

Swmbo - I presume you have the little sleeps and the back of the neck ones?

7:40 pm

7:45 pm

swmbo

7:45 pm

lianakate

Jac...I may have to smack you for your prowess in word finding! (thwaap)

7:45 pm

Jacula

The tide ones sound a bit like Scottish potatoes, Lianakate. Oh dear, you sound in need of a laugh. You should have come to Pam Ayres' show with me and my Mum tonight. I laughed till my mascara ran.

7:46 pm

swmbo

there there lianakate, take a deep breath dear

7:47 pm

Jacula

OW! That wasn't very nice Lianakate when I'd just suggested a social evening. Was that a wet rubber daisy you just thwacked me with?

7:47 pm

cathy22w

7:48 pm

cathy22w

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

cathy22w

glass of red wine, anyone? i found a nice bottle of Pinot Noir 2001 in the cupboard!

7:49 pm

Jacula

Actually, Swmbo, she's the 2nd person to say that to me tonight over this puzzle. My other half said it it, too, after I'd done a couple of lucky guesses earlier when HE was looking for 'p4's'. LOL. In fact, he wasn't so polite, he told me to 'bug*** off'!

7:49 pm

kristin

lucky girl cathy, pour me one too please

7:49 pm

Jacula

My Mum's 71 and I'm 48.

7:50 pm

7:50 pm

Jacula

I'm on the chardonnay thanks. I'll wake the other half up for the red though. He'll have a glass of that to save for Friday night when he can let his hair down. (He's a trucker and so doesn't drink in the week.)

7:50 pm

swmbo

MY mom is nearly 80 and I am 55!

7:51 pm

lianakate

well, MUMS got a few years on me..but I have 8 yrs on the boy toy..am a grandmother 7 times..

7:51 pm

cathy22w

*since jacula didn't completely spell bug***, figuring it must be in the puzzle somewhere.....??!*

7:52 pm

swmbo

LOL

7:52 pm

cathy22w

gee...a few sips and i'm already stuttering

7:52 pm

Jacula

No, it isn't in the puzzle. I was just being polite and censoring myself. LOL.

7:53 pm

lianakate

My mum, sis and grandmother were all killed in an auto accident when I was 23..and preggers..she borrowed my car, and I had to go identify the bodies..I have never gotten over it.

7:53 pm

Jacula

I'm 11 years' older than my partner. LOL.

lianakate

Youre all so kind!! Looks like all i am doing is chatting..sorry. I do get lonely with my boy toy gone..and JAC, Good for you , cradle robber..LOL

7:57 pm

Jacula

Yes, pouring another glass myself. It was bad enough losing my Dad in a long and slow fashion to Alzheimer's but Kate's loss was so huge and so sudden.

7:58 pm

Jacula

Nowt wrong with chatting! Though I guess some of it would be better in private on MSN. (Say that from experience and not from any sense of 'it shouldn't be here on a word game'.)

7:58 pm

lianakate

Jac..am so sorry, sweetie..*hug*

7:59 pm

cathy22w

we should open a babblers yahoo room or something...somewhere to go and chat when you;re done with the puzzle!

8:00 pm

lianakate

8:01 pm

8:03 pm

Jacula

Is Yahoo the thing for chat in USA? Most of us over here seem to use MSN Messenger. (Works fine with hotmail addys, too.)

8:04 pm

speedfreak

Wouldn't it be great if we all got together somewhere and Babble spoke everyone would think we were "bizarre" or very happy people!!

8:04 pm

kristin

liana what a beautiful tribute to your mom and sister and congrats on the boy toy - I'm jealous!

8:04 pm

lianakate

I have a cable modem..that i play games on..IE..but, i belong to AOL..and have for 9 yrs.

8:04 pm

cathy22w

lol...what could be WORSE?! lol... i'm thinking an alternative to a babbler's yahoo room is to pester Dr God for another chat room here - like, a members chat room or something?

8:05 pm

cathy22w

speedfreak... we have enough strange words to make a whole new language! lol

8:05 pm

swmbo

10:25 pm

cbr1965

I have sc6s - one where you get burned in the plural and one where you have almost nothing on

10:25 pm

melissamay

Thank you all so much! I had that an6, I must be missing another one -- my last one! I'll keep looking. (Thought I'd tried that Hawaiian porch -- I'm obviously at the end of a long puzzle).

10:25 pm

Uneaixoise

10:26 pm

Add ia to the base word of a small two digit number and the plural for the tes

10:28 pm

melissamay

Done, thank goodness! Uneaixoise, I owe you big time -- anything left you need?

10:29 pm

cbr1965

there are actually three of them, Jax

10:29 pm

Uneaixoise

you're welcome!

10:30 pm

Jax

cbr - 3 6's based on that one 5? Ok I will look

10:31 pm

cbr1965

no - there are two 6s based on that five - I misunderstood and thought you only had one of the two

10:32 pm

Jax

phew - so it is the other te 6 and 5 combo (probably the easy one) that I'm missing

10:34 pm

cbr1965

I don't have the other one - ARGH - now I have to search too!

10:35 pm

Jax

I will keep hunting, whoever gets there first....

10:36 pm

cbr1965

do you have the one that ends in oy?

10:37 pm

Jax

yes

10:38 pm

Uneaixoise

and the one that ends in "ee"?

10:39 pm

Jax

yup, I'm pretty sure the one I'm missing has to be able to be plural. but then again that doesn't necessarily mean using an s

10:40 pm

Jax

any hints on the pa 6?

Can I help anyone instead of just begging?

10:41 pm

live_n

pa6 : try french basket

10:41 pm

A narrow band or ribbon for the hair that was worn in ancient Greece?

10:45 pm

Jax

Yes I do. The te 5 and 2 te 6's. I am looking for the other te 6 and I think there is a te 5 that goes with it but not sure

10:46 pm

Uneaixoise

there's a te5 and te6 meaning "tithe" and its plural

10:47 pm
