sfneil

is the so9 related to the s08?

1:30 am

sprite

Hi Krys10!
No, it's timber or girder fastened above and parallel to a ship or boat for additional strength.
Alt. spelling of a K6/30.

1:30 am

sfneil

er, is it related to the so8?

1:32 am

Krys10

sfnell, I think Sprite was answering my question about the K7, not the S9. I don't have the S9 or S8, or I would tell you!

1:32 am

sprite

sfneil: yes it is.

1:32 am

Krys10

Good list, High Energy, thanks!

1:32 am

sfneil

thanks Krys, yes: I was just correcting a typo in my question

1:32 am

melissamay

sprite, thanks much -- you just helped me get my last 2 ks!

1:34 am

sprite

Don't know why, but the Ks never come easy for me.

1:34 am

Krys10

I'd like to think I have a particular affinity for K's, but I still have the ship girder ones to find :)

1:35 am

sfneil

I found the k7, but don't see the k6!

1:35 am

sprite

Krys10, better leave out "above or parallel" of my def.

1:36 am

Krys10

I got 'em already, but thanks.

1:37 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - drop the 2nd letter

1:37 am

sfneil

Thanks, Sprite! Got the s9.

1:37 am

sfneil

And thanks, Hugabugs!!

1:40 am

Krys10

That S8 seems like a mispelling to me! Or is it misspelling?

1:40 am

Blaze

I am confused on the s9 clue....please clarify thanks

1:41 am

sfneil

Blaze do you have the s8? If so, double the antepenultimate letter.

1:42 am

Blaze

sfneil I only have s7's at the moment... I will keep monkey typing..

1:42 am

Chessy

Thanks sfneil, I was trying so many combinations of so8!

1:43 am

Krys10

Both the so8 and so9 describe the person being serenaded by a poet.

1:45 am

LUCKY

Hi I'm new to boggle like it please explane how I can find out how many words there are still left to find?
now at 67 words and 804 pts

1:46 am

Blaze

Thanks you muchly finally found it...

1:46 am

Krys10

Hi! welcome. Look back in the log for clues including a list of how many words there are and the breakdown of what each word starts with.

1:49 am

LUCKY

thanks krys10

1:49 am

sprite

215 words / 5.01 / 3201 points today. Incredibly easy grid compared to yesterday's! Good hunt to all of you.

1:50 am

Krys10

Very impressive, dear, less than two hours! Have a good day!

1:51 am

Hugabugs

Sprite, you are incredible.

1:51 am

sfneil

Congrats, Sprite! Yesterday was a doozy, huh? I finally timed out with one word to go!

1:52 am

melissamay

Amazing, sprite -- even more so to realize that English isn't your native tongue!

1:53 am

sprite

Had a hard time yesterday, very tight grid that was. But this grid has few strange words, except for the sk-ones ;)

1:53 am

sprite

*blush*
I just play too often, I am getting experienced ;)

1:54 am

Hugabugs

Well, that just gave me 2 more words.. so far. Thanks

1:54 am

Chessy

me too, thanks - and well done Sprite :)

1:56 am

Blaze

Great job sprite...thank you for being inspiring

1:56 am

sprite

There are 7 (!) sk-words :)

1:56 am

Blaze

SEVEN !! yikes !!

1:56 am

sfneil

Thanks, Sprite! I was just about to ask. That's how many I have!

1:57 am

sprite

Good work, sfneil! Those were the ones that gave me real trouble today.

1:58 am

sfneil

Hmmm. I guess that means it's just the mundane words that are eluding me! ;)

2:00 am

Hugabugs

Got all the sk's now

2:00 am

sprite

Sounds familiar, lol. Usually I have to struggle with the last few words, only to discover they are very common, or missing plurals or (worse) singulars, or a past tenses to a verb or something like that. Babble is very good in giving me the "DUH" feeling.

2:02 am

Chessy

.. or else words you think you had put in, then remember that was yesterday's puzzle! ;)

2:02 am

sprite

ROFL! Too true.

2:03 am

melissamay

...or words you thought you put in, but you used the plural and not the singular or vice versa...yes, Babble's great for feeling humble...

2:06 am

sprite

At least the faster babble site makes for less words that you did put in, but without realising babble wasn't ready yet to take the next. :)

2:08 am

melissamay

Very true, sprite! I love the new improved speedy Babble. Dr. God's been great at making improvements.

2:10 am

sprite

He sure has!
Got to go, have fun hunting today!

2:10 am

Hugabugs

Bye Sprite

2:10 am

sfneil

So long, Sprite!

2:11 am

Krys10

*sigh* I just hate how there's so many things you can "re"!

2:11 am

melissamay

Take care, sprite. Congrats again on the early finish!

2:13 am

melissamay

Question for anyone who's got the h7 -- my last 7! -- is it related to an ho6? I can't seem to find it!

2:18 am

Hugabugs

melissamay - in a way....

2:19 am

Krys10

The H7 is a synonym for heat.

2:20 am

melissamay

Ok, I'm just going to keep hunting -- at least I'm on the right track!

2:22 am

Dianne

This is a hard one for me. Trying to go for the biggies. Does anyone have a clue for the sh7/40?

2:23 am

melissamay

Oh gosh...now I feel silly. Thanks hugs and Krys.

2:26 am

melissamay

Dianne, add a word that's a number to your sh 4/7.

2:31 am

Dianne

Melissamay - I thank you so much. Finished the biggies and polished off the g, k and m words. I'm no Sprite that's for sure :)

2:32 am

melissamay

Dianne, you're welcome. :)

2:36 am

Hugabugs

Any clues on the re7/32? It's my last big one...and I just can't find it

2:36 am

Chessy

Hugabugs, if you put your frock on again, you would ...

2:37 am

sfneil

re7/32 = set right, rectify... think about putting your clothes on again!

2:37 am

Hugabugs

oh geez... got it. Thanks so much!

2:38 am

Dianne

hugabus- if you take your ring to the jeweler and want new stones put in you had a re6 work on it - if more than one works on it then they are re7s.

2:39 am

Dianne

sorry about the miss typing hugabugs!

2:40 am

Hugabugs

Dianne - thanks... I have all my 7, 8 and 9's now. Need 44 more though! *sigh*

2:44 am

Krys10

Thanks for the RE7/32 hint - it was my last word! G'night all, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

2:44 am

sfneil

Could someone tell me what 7 I'm missing? Thanks!

Paddytt

Hi, any clues for the Ge7/32 please?

2:45 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - sh7/44 almost the same as the other sh7

2:45 am

sfneil

If you applied ge5/12 to something, you ge7/36 it

2:46 am

melissamay

An sh7/44, sfneil.

2:46 am

Dianne

sf - you are missing re7/54.

2:46 am

sfneil

Thank you, melissamay!!!!

2:47 am

Paddytt

thanks sfneil

2:47 am

sfneil

And hugabugs and everyone!

2:47 am

melissamay

hugs is right, too -- it's very close to your other s7. :)

2:47 am

sfneil

No worries, Paddytt!

2:48 am

Hugabugs

And I thought you had forgotten me! ;o)

2:48 am

sfneil

I could never forget you, hugs! (Just got confused a bit.)

2:49 am

Hugabugs

LOL ok...you're forgiven! :-D

2:50 am

Hugabugs

Wasn't the ge7 in a puzzle a couple of days ago?

2:51 am

sfneil

Hugabugs, if it was, it was a puzzle I missed. And I think I've played all the puzzles for the past week or so.

2:51 am

Dianne

Trying to finish the O's. Any clues/hints for the missing one? I have O4/4 x 3. 5/10 and 6/18.

2:52 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - Actually, it was in yesterday's puzzle.

2:53 am

Hugabugs

Dianne - You need an o4/9

2:53 am

sfneil

...and I even got it! Babble has made me insane!

2:54 am

Hugabugs

I've lost sleep over Babble... if I don't finish it when it comes out, I end up dreaming of it.

2:55 am

Hugabugs

Dianne - think electrical measurement

2:56 am

sfneil

I canNOT believe there are two more o4/4s I'm not seeing!

2:57 am

Dianne

Hugabugs - I misstyped - I have 4/4 x2, 4/9, 5/10 and 6/18. So obviously I'm missing a 4/4. Got a clue?

2:57 am

Hugabugs

I found it... o4/8

2:58 am

Hugabugs

Now I bet, you all just did it!

2:59 am

Dianne

You are right - I found it and did it! Thanks.

2:59 am

Hugabugs

it's one of those words that you probably do alot of when learning something new

3:00 am

sfneil

Ha! I just found it and did it, too! Any clues on my missing o4/4s? I have only one: the plural of the singular.

3:02 am

Dianne

O's - the plural of the electric thing and the other sort of sounds like the plural of what you are looking for.

3:03 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - there's no def. for it..... think plural of the french word for bones

3:04 am

sfneil

Found it! Weird little word...

3:05 am

Hugabugs

Not exactly one I'd ever use.

3:06 am

sfneil

19 words left, but I'm so sleepy! Giving myself a half hour more...

3:08 am

Hugabugs

Geez, I still need 37 to go

3:10 am

3:11 am

melissamay

sorry sfneil -- n and t are among the many, blargh.

3:11 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - I'm missing a few of each of those, but I'll check yours against mine.

3:13 am

sfneil

Thanks for checking, Hugabugs!

3:17 am

Hugabugs

sfneil - to6/27 pl. of to4/7

3:17 am

Hugabugs

Can't help you with the n's though... Sorry!

3:18 am

sfneil

Thanks, Hugabugs! Hugs!!!!

3:18 am

IceBoySF

sfneil - you are missing a ne6/21 after your first ne4/4

3:20 am

sfneil

And thank you, IceBoySF!!!!

hugs, you are missing a ho5/16 almost identical to the one you have -- just a different letter ending it.

3:47 am

sfneil

Sorry, Hugabugs, I don't have any you don't have... but I think your list will help me! Thanks!

3:48 am

melissamay

I should clarify -- it's near your last ho 5/16.

3:49 am

IceBoySF

Hugabugs, your missing a ho6/30 after the ho7/40

3:50 am

Hugabugs

melissamay - thanks for claryfing... there's ho5/16x5

More than I realized

3:51 am

Hugabugs

thanks everyone... I got it!

3:51 am

melissamay

Sorry, SF is right -- I missed that one. It's just one letter ending different from your h6/27.

3:52 am

melissamay

Yay!

3:52 am

Hugabugs

Well, my last 16 words are just gonna have to wait till later. Almost 4 a.m. here and I gotta get to bed.

G'nites everyone. Thanks for all the help

3:53 am

sfneil

Thanks, everyone! That helped me polish off my 'h's'! Five words to go!

3:55 am

sfneil

Goodnight, Hugabugs! Thanks for all the help!

3:55 am

melissamay

Night hugs! Thanks for helping so much. And congrats sfneil for being so close.

any tips for ho 7 40?

3:57 am

sfneil

melissamay your missing a de6/21... still checking...

3:58 am

sfneil

mm, make that 2 de6/21s and a de5/12

3:59 am

melissamay

Thanks sfneil, very much.

4:00 am

melissamay

Dang, three missing. Bad news! I appreciate the help.

4:01 am

sfneil

one de6/21 is a catch that locks a mechanism, but it sounds like what you might do when you break camp.

de5 is to prevent or discourage from acting. the other de6/21 builds on it.

4:02 am

melissamay

Great clues, sfneil! I got them all right away. I can't believe I didn't see them before. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

4:03 am

sfneil

My pleasure, melissamay!

4:05 am

Dianne

Ho's - is the 9th ho word a 5/16?

9th ho builds of a ho4/7... it's the second person present tense form

4:10 am

melissamay

There's a lo4/4 right before your first lo 5/10 -- I think you just forgot a singular.

4:14 am

melissamay

But wait --- there's also the last lo 6/18, the last word that should be on your list, that's a plural of the last lo 5/10. So are there 2 actually missing?

4:14 am

sfneil

According to stats I'm not missing any 4s. Just two 5s and three 6s.

4:15 am

sfneil

Got it! Thanks melissamay!

4:16 am

melissamay

No problem sfneil! Sorry for the confusion.

4:16 am

sfneil

No worries. My eyes are crossed, anyway!

4:17 am

melissamay

Mine too, yet I can't tear myself away. :)

4:17 am

sfneil

Me either! So close... waaaah!

4:18 am

melissamay

I see how I got confused -- I'm missing the very first lo5/10! Agh.

4:19 am

melissamay

I found it! Thank you, monkeytyping!

4:19 am

sfneil

Oh, I see. It's a fine-grained deposit of clay.

4:20 am

sfneil

Oops, too late! Congrats!

4:21 am

melissamay

What are you short, sfneil? I'm missing 5 e's and 2 s's. If I can help you with other letters, I will.

melissamay

You are missing re 5/20 and re 6/33 -- to repair
clothing, singular and plural. You are also missing a last re6/27 -- to blast again.

I'll check the esses -- thanks for the e's!

4:30 am

melissamay

Oh, on the clothing repair, think of the bottom seam coming undone, and what you have to do to fix it!

4:30 am

sfneil

Thank you so much!!! Done, done and done. Just need that S now. Let me know which Es you need clues for.

4:31 am

sfneil

Missing S is an s5, by the way.

4:33 am

sfneil

To be clear, I mean MY missing S.

4:35 am

sfneil

Found it by monkey-typing! I'm done! Hooray!

I'll stick around for a while in case I can help. Would you like a list of all the s's?

4:35 am

melissamay

It looks like you are missing a sh 5/16 -- perhaps "The abode of the dead in the Bible."

4:37 am

melissamay

Sure, a complete s list couldn't hurt. And I'll get cracking on those e's! But don't feel you have to stick around to help if you are ready to call it a night :)

4:39 am

sfneil

I already had the dead place. The sh5 I was missing is apparently a dried salt marsh. Here are the S's:

se4/8
se5/18
se4/4
se5/10

4:39 am

sfneil

I'll be around for at least a little while. Winding down, you know.

4:40 am

melissamay

Thank you! I'm already stumped on ed4/8. Vowels are bad for me.

4:41 am

sfneil

ed4/8 is a plural of a letter in Old English, Old Saxon, Old Norse, and modern Icelandic. Standard plural ending.

4:43 am

melissamay

Got it! Thanks so much.

4:44 am

sfneil

My pleasure. Happy to help!

4:46 am

melissamay

With your list, I've got all the e's but one -- the er 5/10.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Sfneil and Melissamay - despite the chat log, don't worry, you're not the only two babbling at the minute! The grid today is certainly more productive than yesterday's. I'm using some of your clues to help.

4:47 am

melissamay

Thanks Haz -- I was beginning to feel like the only one left puzzling over this :)

4:48 am

Haz1558

The British contingent will be getting underway soon!

4:48 am

Dianne

melissamay - I'm still here - just looking for words.

4:49 am

sfneil

melissamay, the er5 you'missing is one I got by monkey-typing, and the def is iffy. Think of stanzas in poems and remove the initial 'v' (it's plural)

4:49 am

melissamay

Great clue sfneil -- got it right away!

4:50 am

sfneil

Yay!

4:54 am

melissamay

Ok, my very last word -- the se 5/10 between the two se/4s. Then you can go to bed, poor sfneil!

4:55 am

sfneil

mm, it's plural of the se4!

4:56 am

sfneil

oh wait, it may be second person present of the se4

4:58 am

Haz1558

Those who see into the future are se----. I predict a slapping of the head....

4:59 am

sfneil

Or, it could be: "Material such as thread, wire, or gauze that is passed through subcutaneous tissues or through a cyst in order to form a sinus or fistula."

4:59 am

melissamay

Oh! I got it!!! It's only in every other puzzle, my goodness. Thanks sfneil -- you have been a great help. Good night and sweet dreams!

5:00 am

sfneil

Hurray, melissmay!! Congratulations!! Now we can both go to bed and abandon the brits! (just kidding)

5:00 am

melissamay

Yes, sfneil, that was exactly what I was missing -- Mother Se___. Thanks thanks thanks!

5:01 am

sfneil

Yes, her! Yay, Mother Se---!

5:01 am

melissamay

The poor Brits, having to put up with insomniac Americans that can't find words because they are too dang tired -- I'm sure they'll be glad to see us go!

5:02 am

sfneil

Well, at least we know we've left behind some helpful hints!

5:04 am

Haz1558

Not at all! You've given us hope that it can be done.

5:04 am

melissamay

Yes, we certainly did, defeating this thing inch by inch, didn't we!

Best of luck Haz, and to everyone else trying to finish! Good night!

5:05 am

sfneil

Goodnight and good rest, melissamay! Good luck to Haz1558 and all the Brits and all Babblers everywhere!

5:06 am

Haz1558

Goodnight/morning to you both. Only 120 to go.

5:12 am

LUCKY

still there 101 to go the sh.. words are bugging me.

5:15 am

Eva

Does anyone have clues for the sh7/40 and sh7/44?

5:19 am

Boysaway

sh7/44 is sounds like it's related to firearms

5:23 am

Eva

Thanks Boysaway! That was a new one for me. I know that after that the sh7/40 should be obvious, but I'm still stuck. Also, I'm afraid to ask, because it's always utterly intimidating, but how many total words are there this time?

5:24 am

Boysaway

Eva - 215 words, and I don't have the sh7/40 yet either

5:26 am

Eva

I was afraid of that! I'll be going merrily along enjoying myself in ignorance, and then find out that when I think I've exhausted all possibilities there are still 100 words left. It gives me a headache.

5:30 am

LUCKY

there is another american hanging in there!
sh...

5:31 am

LUCKY

she lives in the dutch lowlands and has shot eyes.

5:32 am

Eva

I'm an American, but not hanging in there - not a late nighter, but an early riser here in beautiful Vermont. What about the so9/60 anyone?

5:33 am

sfneil

both sh7/44 and sh7/40 sound like they might have to do with what you've done when you've fired a gun. They are identical except for the last letter.

Yes, I am going to bed now.

5:33 am

Boysaway

Eva - think of Shakespeare's so.....

5:36 am

Eva

Boysaway. I have the 6/18 and 8/45 versions of the Shakespeare, but can't for the life of me find the other poetic permutation. I must be going blind.

5:36 am

Boysaway

Eva - past tense

5:37 am

sfneil

Eva, double the antepenultimate letter of your so8.

5:38 am

Eva

Thank you both!!!Now I can turn this off for a while and experience life as a being not connected to a keyboard.

5:40 am

sfneil

And I can go to sleep, finally! (I just had to stick around to use the word "antepenultimate" one more time!)

5:41 am

Haz1558

And you spelt it correctly, as well!

5:43 am

sfneil

Yes. I will dream well, tonight! Goodnight from San Francisco, Babblers!

5:46 am

Dianne

Would someone who has all the S words save my sanity?
I am missing the Se5/10 that is the 6th on the list and the 4/4 that either goes above or below that one.
Any help out there? Please.

5:47 am

LUCKY

6th se5/10 sounds like where you go shopping

5:49 am

LUCKY

se4/4 sounds like shopping singular

5:50 am

LUCKY

still no sight of sh7/40 anyone?

5:52 am

madhatter

sh7/40 sounds like a dodgy past tense for when you have sh4 someone - don't know how else to define it ... soz

5:52 am

Dianne

SH7 - think firing range and elongate it.

5:54 am

LUCKY

dianne I have sh7/44 but can't see the clue for sh7/40

5:55 am

Eva

Same here.

5:55 am

Dianne

S7 - change the last letter - you'll get it then.

5:55 am

Boysaway

Rhymes with rotten

5:56 am

Eva

Phew!

5:58 am

LUCKY

thanks boysaway!

5:58 am

Dianne

Lucky - got another clue on the se words? I can't get them from the shopping thing - I'm brain drained!

5:58 am

sandy211

Thanks Boysaway

6:00 am

LUCKY

diane sounds like .... robuck

6:01 am

LUCKY

Dianne haven't been to the states in a long time maybe it doesn't exist anymore?

6:01 am

Dianne

Lucky - I have that 4/5 combo. Can't figure out just which 2 I am missing - UGH!

6:03 am

Dianne

Lucky - are you an expat also?

6:04 am

LUCKY

Dianne teke the se 4/4 and make it plural then you get the se5/10 which sounds like a place where you shop

6:05 am

LUCKY

No expat just an american living in Holland where are you from Dianne?

6:08 am

Dianne

Lucky - I got the last of the S words. I was missing the 4/5 that sounds like the animal. I'm from NY but living in Hong Kong.

6:12 am

LUCKY

I'm from NY too but left there long ago haven't been back too many times... too expensive.
I'm missing a lot of animals I think. although I have the dogs. To which se4/5 are you reffering?

6:14 am

Dianne

Se4 and 5 - sounds like a water mammal.

6:15 am

LUCKY

got it! thanks this is fun for funny eyes

6:17 am

LUCKY

Have 13 sh words is that all or am I missing some still?

6:18 am

Dianne

Lucky - there are 18 SH words.

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

is anyone else having a problem with the stats grid?

6:21 am

Kukana

What kind of problem? Mine seems to be OK

6:22 am

Uneaixoise

i've got 75 words but only 5 are showing up . . . weird

6:22 am

LUCKY

Thanks Diannne the more we chat the longer the log gets and the lists disappear from the screen.

6:23 am

SunnFlower

in our togethernesses we can achieve dementednesses- just 2 possible words if the letters were in the right places

6:23 am

Uneaixoise

never mind! it's fine--maybe a bit of java will reorient my brain cells!

6:40 am

Debluvsmusic

good morning - does anyone else have a letter missing between the D & L on thier puizzle?

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

Miyavi_fan

7:18 am

jakes-mum

Please Someone - help with the K6 and K7?!?!?

7:19 am

sandypops

de6/21 a plural of de/5 12

7:19 am

FMitch

the k7 is the k4/8 with a male child as the last 3 letters

7:20 am

Kukana

I think the missing d6/21 is a word that sounds like something you'd do to clear a campsite :-)

7:20 am

Miyavi_fan

thanks Kukana ^_^

7:20 am

Anj

Hi Lola, Miyavi, FMitch, Ferrari, Everyone :)

Hey Miyavi, those G plus 'not shell garage' words from yesterday are in again :)

8:35 am

lola100

Hey Anj, saw a really good movie last night called Stander about an SA cop who became a bank robber :)

8:36 am

Miyavi_fan

They are indeed! It's a conspiracy!!!

8:37 am

Anj

Lo, is that the guy who robbed banks in his lunch hour and then investigated the robbery in the afternoon? I saw something on that recently...

8:39 am

lola100

Yup, he was a local legend :) I remember seeing news reports about him on TV when I was a kid. Very funny but also a bit sad. You should watch it, may give you some insight into my sense of humour ;)

8:41 am

Anj

Cheers babe. I will check it out :)

8:41 am

lola100

Mostly SA actors too. Lead guy is american but does a pretty good accent!

8:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Wahey, thanks for the clue Anj! That cheeky minx of a word. Wouldn't have happened when I was a girl.

...hey wait, I am a girl!

8:49 am

I quite like the accent now I'm used to it. One of my ex-colleagues up in Edinburgh was an import model. I think he was from Durban

Hey Miyavi, i'm working on the 7, 8 & 9 letter words - do you want me to lob in some clues as I get them?

OK, you've got the ge7 & ho7. There's a de6/21 & plural de7/32 which are de plus the musical thing you would see on a stave.
There's a dr7/32 which is someone who puts clothes on someone else
There's also a ke7/44 which is made up of two smaller words ke4/8 meaning bottom of a boat and an s3 which is opposite of daughter

More as I find them :)

8:58 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, why not? "For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow..."

for the s8 & 9 take your so6/18 (shakespeare wrote quite a few of these) and make it past tense with a variation on the spellling for the 9

9:17 am

Anj

Miyavi, more Ns :) Based on your no4/7 which is slang for food:
no6/30 - ate, eaten, chowed down
no6/27 - person doing the eating...
no7/40 - ...and the plural :)

Heh...already done, Anj! ^_^ yay...actually may have a chance of finishing today! *boogies*

9:36 am

lola100

Anj, you should not reward bad behavior. Will be in cupboard under stairs with dry toast and water until everyone forgets what I have just done.....

9:37 am

FMitch

don't worry, I think we could all do with a lucky break on this one and it has given me my missing e, but there are still a lot of others to get. It's not like you told us the bulter did it ... oops!

9:37 am

agzam2

darn .... u left out the ee word ... lol ... the only one i'm missing :)

9:38 am

Lola - if that's the worst thing you do this weekend, I think you're better than most!

agzam2

just kidding .... i got that one too :p

9:39 am

lola100

Aaah, you guys are TOO nice *sniff*. And it's the worst thing I could do with a computer CSA....

9:40 am

Charm

Lola - I can lend you a 3 year old and 80 pounds of puppyhood and see what you do THEN with a computer!

9:41 am

lola100

CSA- LOL! I have the 3 year old but have resisted the puppy so far. Point taken! :)

9:42 am

Anj

...excuse me!

9:42 am

Uneaixoise

i now have 2 that I fostered from one of our local shelters and adopted within a week--no more fostering for moi!!

9:43 am

Charm

Lola - add the puppy - the bigger, the better. Give up your job to be a stay-at-home-mom. Move to the other side of the country for hubby's job. Take up online gaming. Then your life will be complete!!

9:44 am

lola100

Sorry Anj! *tickles tummy AND behind ears*

9:44 am

Charm

We're resisting fostering because we know we won't be able to give them up at the end. So we just donate to the no-kill shelters.

9:44 am

Anj

*wags tail* *makes mental note NOT to savage little black dress*

9:46 am

Miyavi_fan

Haha...I'm not old enough to foster, but if anyone's considering I could use a change of scene! ^_~

9:46 am

lola100

CSA- done all of that, except I moved across an ocean and had to leave both my beloved bull- mastif's behind :'(

9:46 am

Charm

Oh, puppy can have the little black dress. It's the shoes and socks and pillows. Can't go in public and can't sleep.

9:48 am

Charm

Lola, any chance of returning across the ocean? Or adopting from a shelter? We have a shepherd/husky mix who spends 22 hours a day sleeping and 2 hours a day chewing on anything not guarded zealously.

9:48 am

lola100

*gasp* Anj! Would you turn on me that quickly?!

9:50 am

Anj

Don't be silly lol

Miyavi, which patch of planet is yours?

9:51 am

lola100

CSA- This is home now. I try to go back to SA as often as possible tho', great place for a holiday. We have just moved house and small dog is on list of things to put right as soon as we settle in :) *whispers- don't tell Anj tho', think he may get jealous!*

Anybody else into American Wrestling (WWE, TNA etc.)?

Cathy

Sorry, Movieman, can't say I've ever been interested. But my husband was friends with one of our local wrestlers here quite a few years ago -- Hulk Hogan. Maybe you've heard the name ?

3:52 pm

movieman

Cathy - I certainly have. Didn't he go up against Rocky Graziano in the early 80's?

3:53 pm

movieman

Sorry, I meant Rocky Balboa...(slaps forehead again!!!)

3:54 pm

Cathy

Movieman -- Haven't the faintest idea. I just knew him as a friend. He worked out a lot at a local gym that was only two door down from a gameroom we owned back about 25 years ago, and he and my husband became friends and shared a few beers now and then. But I know NOTHING about wrestling :)

3:55 pm

Bug Fix Alert:

I fixed the "bug" that caused long words in the chat log to push the Word List down to the bottom of the page on some browsers.

"Words" longer than 30 characters will now be broken up.

Thanks Brandyjack!

5:49 pm

swmbo

yes, thanks BJ, I am far from finished and the list is most helpful...

5:51 pm

AEuser

I need a clue for the third de 6/21
I have the plural of 'discourage' and the singular of 'to mark'
any help appreciated

5:51 pm

Jera

I just got here a bit ago... about halfway through & thinking about some help soon... tyvm!

5:51 pm

Jera

This was my wild out of town weekend, me & the Sprite just got home a few hours ago...

5:52 pm

Dachef

AEuser - the other de6/21 is what happens when someone nicks your tent!

5:53 pm

snowyowl

mmm Tea,chocolate a babble grid & stats from brandyjack. My life just got better.

5:54 pm

Dachef

snowyowl - where in Wales you to? Im originally from the Valleys.

5:55 pm

snowyowl

I'm originally fron Swansea but now live in Ammanford about 20 miles west.Where are you now?

5:56 pm

Sheila Rae

could anyone give me a clue or two for the lo 6/21 and lo 6/18 please.

5:57 pm

AEuser

thank you dachef!

5:57 pm

Dachef

Now living in sunny Bournemouth - move around quite a bit thru work. Managed to get back home last week for a friends wedding, and I have to say the Valleys are looking pretty grim. Not a lot of employment, and my home town's in a bit of a state.

5:57 pm

Jera

Hey there, snowyowl, how are you this evening?

5:58 pm

Dachef

mind you, Ive lived all over the country from London to Manchester, and the Welsh are still the friendliest people in the universe!!!

5:58 pm

snowyowl

Hi Jera - fine thankyou. Did you have a good time out of town?

6:00 pm

snowyowl

Ah Dachef it's because we're nosy & we like to talk. I'd probably get a* if there was a qualification for that. I'm all for good communication!

6:02 pm

swmbo

The Welsh also have the most melodious way of pronouncing English, I LOVE it!

6:02 pm

Jera

Yes, it was a wonderful night for a MoonDance!

6:03 pm

snowyowl

It's cos we love to sing swmbo. some stereotyping is true.

6:05 pm

tap

She-She I have 2 6-18 If you have one of them just change a middle letter. The 6-21 is a tricky clue. When you set money aside it is similar, but drop the first letter.

6:06 pm

Sheila Rae

thanks mom, I will work on it. I got the 6/18, just working on the 6/21.

6:08 pm

AEuser

now i'm looking for help on the te 6/18, thanks

6:09 pm

Sheila Rae

Thanks mom, I got it. Duh!

6:10 pm

Dachef

AEuser - its the same as your te5/10, just a little bit more!!!

6:11 pm

AEuser

thanks again dachef! :)

6:11 pm

swmbo

Snowy, sometimes stereotypes are stereotypes because they are TRUE LOL

6:13 pm

tap

She-She Glad to be of help, even though I am slower than mollasses today.

6:13 pm

Dachef

stereotypes are not always true - Im Welsh and my singing voice sounds like a shaved cat plunged into a salty bath.

6:14 pm

Sheila Rae

how many words do you have mom? I have 166 and I have been at it since about 1:30 on and off through the day.

6:14 pm

snowyowl

But I bet you still do it Dachef even if its only when no-one can hear!

6:15 pm

swmbo

And it is not so much can you sing, but do you like music?

6:16 pm

Dachef

no, actually I do it even when people can hear - if nothing else it usually gets a laugh. People keep telling me I should go on XFactor, cos Im so bad Id be sure to make the highlights!!!

6:16 pm

tap

She-She. I think I started about 4. Only 87 words.

6:17 pm

Sheila Rae

You are going about the same pace as me. Debs list really helps. I start at the bottom and work up so I don't have to keep scrolling up and down. All I know is that I need to get back to work fast, or I am going to become a Babble junkie!

6:28 pm

oggy

jakesmum have you finished still got 10 to go and there driving me mad

6:28 pm

Sheila Rae

anyone have a clue for the no 5/10 or the no 6/26

6:29 pm

plurple

Dr god, I'm sure torgone will be estatic

6:31 pm

tap

She-She. One of the no is in the middle of your face times two

6:32 pm

Sheila Rae

Thanks mom, I have that one, I need the last no 5/10, sorry.

6:32 pm

Sheila Rae

sorry, second to the last no 5/10

6:33 pm

tap

She-She Just add a letter to one of the four letter words

6:33 pm

Sheila Rae

okay, I'm getting tired. the no 2/27, not 26

6:34 pm

Sheila Rae

never mind..I can't get the numbers right. Thanks mom your other one helped.

6:35 pm

tap

She-She Later, I need a break.

6:36 pm

Sheila Rae

later mom--Love you.

6:40 pm

AEuser

Another plea for help, I'm looking for a hint for my last N, ne 6/21 (I already have the past tense of catching something with a net)

6:41 pm

brandyjack

how about the present tense of one who is using the net....

6:42 pm

plurple

more people need to sign up for the message boards!

6:42 pm

brandyjack

Nevermind, that's an 18. which I found from your clue....

6:44 pm

plurple

AEuser -- use the first ne4/4

6:44 pm

swmbo

ne6/21 is the past tense of a kind of light

6:44 pm

AEuser

thanks swmbo and brandyjack

6:44 pm

plurple

damn i get ignored *all* the time.

6:45 pm

brandyjack

We're not ignoring you, we just don't notice you...

6:45 pm

swmbo

plurple, didn't mean to ignore you sorry

6:46 pm

AEuser

sorry plurple, didn't mean to exclude you, i didn't see your message when i posted, not that I really buy the past tense of that ne 4/4 as a word anyone would use in conversation

6:46 pm

plurple

neither of you did it.
but it's not just this once. i usually say stuff and no one pays attention. i think it's because i'm so young and out of the loop.

6:47 pm

AEuser

how can we tell you're young, we're all just names

6:47 pm

brandyjack

want to be ignored? using Texting. We'll ignore you right quick. No matter what your age is...

6:48 pm

Sheila Rae

plurple--I get ignored all the time too, it's just that the chat moves quickly and out of sight. I figure noone actually saw my message....or did they?

6:48 pm

swmbo

You know, I feel ignored soetimes too, but I think it is not being ignored so much as people are focusing on the grid.

How old are you plurple?

6:49 pm

plurple

didn't make sense of your message at all brandyjack.

aeuser, moreso on my end

6:50 pm

swmbo

Some younger people have used text messaging script in here and it is really hard to read...

6:50 pm

brandyjack

Texting: r u thr m8?

6:50 pm

plurple

i'm 21.

i think i should just stop chatting so much. it's my own fault

6:50 pm

oggy

7 to go a bit stuck i need er5, es4, re5,re6,so6,te4,to6 not sure of the point value for each one . can anyone help please

6:51 pm

AEuser

er 5, to have made a mistake

6:51 pm

Sheila Rae

Too funny brandyjack

6:52 pm

swmbo

No, no plurple, you are just feeling a bit self conscious. We all do sometimes. Continue to play and continue to post. We're not that scary, really

6:52 pm

snowyowl

es4 sounds like a couple of the letter afte r

6:52 pm

Anj

Back again...

Oggy, es4 - more than one letter S or maybe a series of bends...

6:53 pm

plurple

alright <3

6:53 pm

plurple

is the heart considered text language, brandyjack?

6:53 pm

swmbo

Trying to finish off my l's and there is that last le5 that is killing me

6:55 pm

brandyjack

No, those are called emoticons. Emotion Icons. Not likely find anyone objecting to those. It's the texting or 'leet speek that really twists our knickers..... English is hard enough without someone too lazy to spell it all out....

6:55 pm

swmbo

I have the veggie one and the legal one. can anyone steer me in the right direction?

6:55 pm

AEuser

swmbo, which one is the "last" one?

6:56 pm

Sheila Rae

brother can you spare a clue.... I have 183 words and 2672 points. Double my all time high. I have to quit before I go nuts with the r's. Could someone give me a clue for the re 9/54 so I can leave feeling good?

6:56 pm

snowyowl

I love that heart plurple, even if it is. What I'd like to know is how! PLEASE does anyone have my last to4 . I have the 2 to do with feet, the one to do with sound and the one that means rubbish.

6:57 pm

swmbo

those who put ladies hair back up in rollers could be called re9

6:57 pm

plurple

Sheila is this good enough: rese**ers 9 54

HAHA

6:58 pm

swmbo

to4: to throw away?

6:58 pm

Sheila Rae

THANK YOU plurple. I can now go in peace. Everyone have a great evening. "See" you tomorrow.

6:58 pm

Anj

snowyowl, have you got the to4 which means throw?

6:59 pm

snowyowl

swmbo Its when someone is looking at you suggestively but not in a nice way!

6:59 pm

plurple

snowyowl - OSH KOSK bGOSH!

6:59 pm

ExWren

7:00 pm

Sheila Rae

ExWren--thank you, I had the other two, just too tired to add the last letter. Brain is shut down. Thank you though.

7:01 pm

swmbo

Oh, thanks snowy, i have that one too. I think I am missing a 4th one...

7:02 pm

plurple

7:02 pm

sproing

I think I'm missing an sh5 -- clues appreciated! I have:
sh5/16 x 7, sh5/18 x1

7:03 pm

swmbo

Well, naturally we all want to have ALL the answers, but the fun is in the search.

7:03 pm

AEuser

last two words... ho 7 and ho 6 (I have the two endings on hott..)

7:04 pm

snowyowl

swmbo I have to ask -Is your icon a Brownie? It looksjust like our last uniform.

7:04 pm

plurple

sh5/18 - he4/8 a letter
sh5/18 - sh4/7 a letter

7:04 pm

plurple

the plus sign never shows up and i cant ever remember that
that's "xx PLUS a letter"

7:06 pm

plurple

swmbo - unless you're finished, then the fun is to give them out.

=)

7:06 pm

sproing

I've got both of those... but thanks!

7:06 pm

Anj

y/w oggy - ref your re6, can you narrow it down? There are 7 to choose from

7:06 pm

oggy

any clue for to6/18 please

7:06 pm

swmbo

My icon was drawn by another Babbler who is an artist for another site we both belong to. It shows me as a little girl with ringlets and wearing a kilt (because I live in Nova Scotia) and pointing imperiously, as my full name is SheWhoMustBeObeyed. The letters SWMBO are across the chest of the yellow sweater, but it has been shrunk so small they are illegible.

:)

7:07 pm

7:14 pm

plurple

haha i give the easy clues

7:14 pm

AEuser

7:15 pm

swmbo

Good point Anj, but she drew what she drew and I have used it for nearly 7 years now, so I really identify with it.

7:15 pm

oggy

7:16 pm

7:16 pm

AEuser

sweet... I'm done, and I think that the ho 7 was the best word to end on, thanks for the help all and good luck

7:17 pm

AEuser

Dr God, I think that there should be some sort of fireworks animation or something when you actually complete the puzzle, just a thought...

7:17 pm

Anj

oggy, looks like an re6/18 - 2 of those:

1) looks again
2) mailed again

7:18 pm

snowyowl

Congrats AEuser. I think lots of us would like something.

Jax

7:37 pm

plurple

re 4 8 - smell bad
re 4 4 - hand held hammer
re 4 4 - rhymes with please ( i think )

how many to6 are there because i am missing a t6 from the top row

8:03 pm

Anj

No worries...it's that time of night lol 4 to6/18s in order:
1) gym equipment and plural of a to5/10
2) & 3) are both built from the same word, another to5/10 which is a metric ton Both differ in just the last letter...and one's a plural
4) antone bowling a beamer in cricket could be accused of being a full-t***er

There's also a to6/27 which builds on your to4/7 meaning rubbish

8:06 pm

oggy

it must be the 6/27 because i havnt got that one

8:09 pm

Anj

Think of your own footballing son John T***ack and change the ending to an extended plural

8:10 pm

thank you cath and smithchick .. could I have a clue for the de 7 word please

8:57 pm

Blaze

OOOPs I have the crazy de 7 word..... too much reality not enough puzzle time....

9:06 pm

Dianne

Morning all - looking for my last 2 L words. I need Le4.
I have the herb, the oggle, shelter and money. Any clues? also need Lo5. Ihave 5/10 x 4. Any help appreciated.

9:18 pm

Dianne

Yeah - got the le4. Now need that last lo5 to finish the L words.

9:25 pm

Minski

Hi. I see there are 2 8s & 2 9s. Can I have hints for them please?

9:36 pm

Jacula

Minksi - re8/40 & re9/54 (plural of the re8) are extensions of your re5/10. A clue - if all the stones had fallen out or come loose in your ring you might take it to the jeweller's to be re5/10. The person who did that would be an re8/40 and if more than one person did it they would be re9/54.

So8/45 & so9/60 are extensions of your so6/18. Your so 6/18 is something Will Shakespeare wrote quite a few of.

9:37 pm

Minski

OMG! I got the SO9 by mistake!

9:38 pm

Dianne

Minski - So 8 and 9 - think Elizabeth Browning.

9:38 pm

Jacula

Dianne - the last lo5 is the name of a regular (and somewhat cheeky) Babbler, but with the 2nd vowel rather than the 3rd at the end of it.

9:39 pm

Jacula

Dianne - failing you getting that clue, think of another word for 'Bingo' and change the vowel at the end.

9:40 pm

Minski

I feel so stupid because I got the SO6 & the SO9 but I can't figure out the SO8.

9:42 pm

Minski

OK. Got the 9s and 1 8. Will keep working on the SO8.

9:43 pm

llama

minski - some words can be spelled two ways...=)

9:46 pm

Jacula

Anyone want a single (cup of) tea?

9:47 pm

Minski

Thanks Jacula and LLama. See what happens to your brain when you take an entire day off from Babble?

9:53 pm

Jacula

LOL, Minski. We (me & other half) finished hours ago. I just popped in here to see how others were doing. Glad to be of help.

10:09 pm

Jacula

See you later fellow Babblers. Good luck to those still babbling this grid.

thanks so much to anyone who can help! =)

11:07 pm

Dianne

llama - it is another non. Which one do you have (meaning & points)?

11:11 pm

I missed the clues for so 8 & 9 can someone help

11:52 pm

Dianne

If you have the re8 make it plural. If you don't then think that you have to place somethning again and then make that plural.

Dianne

so 8 and 9 - think Elisabeth Barret Browning. Fiddle with the spelling.

A 14-line verse form usually having one of several conventional rhyme schemes.
