T'is.

Hugabugs

Say Neil.... did anyone ever email you with that spelling variation?

12:31 am

sfneil

Hugs no one did. I am still quite eager to find out, as the grid's spelling was the only one I've ever seen.

12:32 am

mab

My websters spells it as it was in the puzzle. Perhaps the British spelling is different.

12:32 am

Uneaixoise

m6/30

12:33 am

Hugabugs

I'm curious too. I even did some searches with variations and nothing came up... at least nothing English.

R6/18

12:33 am

sfneil

I wondered at one point if it had been confused with another word. But even then, I'm very curious as to what word that could be?

12:34 am

Jacula

A Frankie Laine song I'm listening to, after Rawhide -
My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry,
Wingin' north in the lonely sky.
Tried to sleep, it weren't no use,
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose,

(Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)

Woman was kind and true to me.
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she.
She's got a love that ain't no use,
To love a brother of the old wild goose.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)

12:35 am

Blaze

I am curious what word are you talking about ??

12:35 am

mab

Sinatra, The Wave, 'the fundamental lonliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together...'

12:36 am

Jacula

122 words.
Not quite sure about the maths and the stats. I'm not sao good on that.

12:36 am

mab

Ennead?

12:36 am

Uneaixoise

o7/36

12:36 am

sfneil

I guess it's okay to say it now, right? The word was "ennead", meaning a group of nine. But several players expressed surprise that the "real" way of spelling it, even though (apparently) it was in the grid, was not accepted.

12:37 am

Jacula

Blaze - I was talking about Babblers, as Mab has realised. It wasn't a word clue.

12:38 am

sfneil

I am curious to know what spelling is considered authentic by those who were complaining.

12:38 am

Blaze

Jac I was asking about the Hug and sfneil word... I am listening to Rod Stewart in his new colleciton of Sinatra songs...etc....

12:40 am

Daria

morning folks

12:41 am

Blaze

Thanks unea ... it helps to have babble buddies

12:41 am

Hugabugs

Hi Daria! Have you recovered from yesterday's grid yet?

12:41 am

sfneil

...and Babble bubbles, yes?

12:42 am

Blaze

You bet your sweet....babble bubbles....

12:42 am

Jacula

sorry folks! May be only one or two understand me posting the wild goose song after the last grid.:-(

12:43 am

Hugabugs

Can I get some bubbles coming from a glass?

12:43 am

Daria

not quite hugs, since I just finished it a few hrs ago. ;)

12:44 am

Carry on, Jacula. Frankie rocks!

Bottle of Moet do ya, Hugabugs? Got some here, but don't like the stuff myself.

12:45 am

Jacula

Frankie Laine - 'Don't Fence Me In'- must bemy theme song.:-))

12:46 am

Hugabugs

On occasion... I don't make a habit of it! But after yesterday's, I feel a need to celebrate just for surviving!

12:46 am

sfneil

Me, too, Jacula! Not a fan of the bubbly... (I actually do like flat champagne... talk about a plebe!)

12:47 am

LmyBs

I have all 133

12:47 am

mab

Something earthy and red for me please.

12:47 am

12:48 am

sfneil

Jacula, my grandmother requested in her will to have Bing Crosby's recording of 'Don't Fence Me In' played at her funeral... and it was!

12:48 am

melissamay

sfneil, that is seriously awesome.

12:49 am

Jacula

Lol Neil, if it were appropriate, I'd cite the track I'm listening to now - 'Strange Lady in Town'... still by Frankie Laine,

12:50 am

LmyBs

LOL ROTFLMAO

12:51 am

Jacula

Neil, believe me, that first, followed by Lynyrd Skynrd's Free Bird and Elton John's Skyline Pigeon sure gets the message across!

12:51 am

Blaze

UNE you rock thanks

12:51 am

LmyBs

WTF?

12:51 am

Uneaixoise

12:52 am

Jacula

LMBYS - start LISTENING to music!

12:53 am

LmyBs

Jacula - do you have any preferences?

12:53 am

Hugabugs

r6/27

I think this is a first.... I have the r's done before any other letter. usually it's one of my last

12:54 am

Jacula

faces, music, words and aromas... the last thing we all remember in our dotage. Believe me, I know! Anyone who 'knows' me by now, will know what I mean by that.

12:54 am

melissamay

sfneil, I just noticed your question below: the word is properly spelled enneatic. Since it was actually possible to spell it correctly in the puzzle, it was a bit annoying to have the incorrect spelling be the only acceptable entry.

12:55 am

sfneil

Jacula, I plan to stipulare for David Byrne's version of DFMI on the occasion of my own demise.

12:55 am

sfneil

er, "stipulate"

12:55 am

LmyBs

WTFdoes Dotage mean?

That's when you become a dotard.

12:56 am

LmyBs

We don't have that Blimey music in the States

12:57 am

melissamay

torgone, that was subtly hilarious. Kudos!

12:57 am

Jacula

70s heavy rock. (Preference) But as I saidm eclectic really, Glen Miller onwards does it for me.... depends on the mood and the moment. And don't forget the classics!

12:57 am

LmyBs, that's not nice.

Jacula

wtf is a bivth??? Bitvh from helll?

1:00 am

LmyBs

I wished that this site wan't populated with bitches and cowards

1:00 am

doons

I'm offended. Why are people like him allowed to post here?

1:00 am

mab

Yes, do go away, vulgar person.

1:00 am

Blaze

Dr_God are you watching ????

1:01 am

Babbler

LmyBs, just to warn you, if you persist, you could find you're barred.

1:01 am

LmyBs

mab - I'm just keeping it real

1:01 am

Jacula

LmyBs - what's going on here? If you are offending my friends I need you to explain it to all of us.

1:02 am

Babbler

real does not have to mean rude.

1:02 am

mab

I'm bitvh on my father's side.

1:02 am

Jacula

DR_God's watching, have no fear.

1:02 am

LmyBs

You're friends? - CYBER GEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:02 am

doons

mab, please do not encourage him

1:03 am

Babbler

I vote for LmyBs's removal. Who seconds?

1:03 am

melissamay

No, Jac, it's Hevl -- where misspellers go when they kick the bukcet. Now let's all play "pretend the real keeper doesn't exist", shall we?

1:03 am

sfneil

melisasmay: ah! consonant creep! there is no way any form of this word from the greek original would have contained a 't'. enneas ("nine") becomes ennead(-) in the combining form. Something must have happened while I wasn't looking if people think of "enneatic" before "enneadic"!

1:03 am

spatialbean

ok that's enough

1:04 am

Blaze

sfneil your timing is priceless.... that really made me LOL

1:04 am

sretih

Hey fags

1:04 am

Jacula

Ah, MM, over the Styx and beyond, eh? I get it.

1:05 am

melissamay

Consonant creep, yes, sfneil. Nicely put!

1:05 am

LmyBs

I haven't seen this this many geeks since the Triumph went to the latest Star Wars movie opeing...which one of these buttoms calls your mothers for a rde home?

1:05 am

sretih

i suggest you all quit being so homosexual and start being real.

1:05 am

Babbler

LmyBs, if we're geeks, what are you doing here?

1:06 am

sfneil

I know of several homosexuals who are real.

1:06 am

sretih

He's a babylonian....and he likes it...he also likes to be taken to the boneyard.

1:06 am

Jacula

A record for me! How long have I been logged on? Haven't loked at grid yet.

1:06 am

spatialbean

we need an "ignore" feature

1:06 am

LmyBs

Babbler - I'm drunk and you have no life

1:06 am

sretih

you need a "get a life feature"

1:07 am

Babbler

LOL !!!

1:07 am

Blaze

Dr_God this needs to be dealt with NOW

1:07 am

Jacula

Neil - I lmow about them same no of gays. They are not all bitches.

1:07 am

spatialbean

so do you obviously if you didn't come to even play the game

1:08 am

LmyBs

sfneil - I bet you know a few homosexuals...biblically

1:08 am

sretih

I gurantee you the only reason i stumbled upon this lame ass site is because of my drunk friends who obviously love the cock and are into this gay shit.

1:08 am

doons

Starting now I say we all ignore this tomfoolery and get back to the grid.

1:08 am

Babbler

good call, doons

1:09 am

sretih

Doons, your boyfriend is about to grid your fat pimply ass.

1:09 am

LmyBs

tomfoolery? that is quite possibly that gayest word ever

1:09 am

Jacula

Boss has been contacted.

it is my goal tonight to get ousted from this gayness

1:10 am

LmyBs

Dr. God is the biggest uber nerd that I have ever heard of

1:10 am

Blaze

I think the last fool that tried this was never heard from again.... and his mother was informed

1:10 am

sretih

that, and reach a blood alcohol level of at least .2

1:11 am

sretih

please somebody kick me off this site

1:11 am

Jacula

In the meantime, if you can't iether laff up to or ignore, just contiunue to ignore,

1:11 am

doons

I love how he ends his incoherent statement with a preposition...LOL

1:11 am

sretih

did anybody get rims?

1:11 am

LmyBs

Blaze - Your mother's mouth is full...she can't speak right now

1:11 am

Babbler

could be worse -- could be in txt spk!

1:11 am

torgone

Well then why don't you just go. You'll be gone soon enough.

1:12 am

LmyBs

rim job? Blazes mother gave one to me

1:14 am

Babbler

did you not get the t8 then?

1:15 am

LmyBs

I had about t8 inches in your moms ass last night

1:21 am

Jacula

LmyBs -we call all do that, but that's not the point. Listening to Frankie Laine singing Granada now. Listen to it now and stop being a prat.

Eff off now, and come back soon when you've gtot the point, darlin'.

1:23 am

Zurrero

the boss has been notified of that language Jacula

1:23 am

Malise

This is all pretty gross. Can we please get back to business - which is to have fun - not read this tacky stuff. Or am I being over-reactive ......

1:23 am

Jacula

Stop being a silly little prat. It's not impressive, it's not funny and it's not wise. Bog off!

1:24 am

doons

thank you, malise!!!

1:24 am

Jacula

Malise - not at all. That's what we are trying to avoid.

1:25 am

Hugabugs

Soooooo....... any other new 8's out yet?

1:25 am

torgone

Don't bother, Jacula. Somebody (and somebody's parents) is about to find out the importance of an IP address.

1:27 am

Jacula

You're right there Torgone. That awas about to be my next point. Oh, ROFLOL. But sorry, even though I do have a houseful of teenagers and early 20s most of the time, this stupidity irritates me.... AARGH.

It is irritating, but fleeting.

1:29 am

Jacula

ANyway, afore we start on the puzzle stuff - is everyone in the path of hurricane Rita okay? Things didn't ound too good when I read the news earlier.

1:30 am

Babbler

I'd like to know too - I'm watching BBC Breakfast news.

1:31 am

Hugabugs

Daria, who was on earlier, spent the whole evening under tornado warnings due to Rita

1:32 am

torgone

lianakate's hubby is in the area, doing insurance work. Don't think he's in harm's way though. I hope.

1:33 am

Jacula

A friend of my other half lost her house and all her posessions in Katrina. She went to her Mom's in Texas, and has now been moved on again, as far as we know.

1:33 am

mab

I believe that New Orleans lost a recently repaired levee, much flooding, but no one was harmed. It's heart-breaking, all of it.

1:33 am

sprite

Great... a managable grid! Morning all...

1:34 am

Jacula

My sis in law was in Houston, but she's home now, dunno how, but thank God!

1:35 am

melissamay

sprite, thank goodness you're here. Now some of those 8s might come out of hiding! Good to see you...

1:35 am

sfneil

It seems that Houston has been spared much of the damage that was predicted, thank goodness!

1:35 am

sprite

Lol, none discovered yet? Let's scare them out in the open then ;)

1:35 am

Jacula

Ah yea, the grid! 122 words.

1:36 am

melissamay

There's been talk of a t8, but I don't quite believe it.

1:37 am

Hugabugs

I've got both the r8 and t8 that's been found thus far

1:37 am

Hugabugs

A friend of mine from NO was staying in Galveston... now they're up in Dallas.

1:37 am

melissamay

Ah, I missed the r8! It's been an, um, eventful log.

1:37 am

Jacula

4=56., 5=25,6=25 7=11, 8=5.

1:38 am

Blaze

the r8 is colorful

1:38 am

Hugabugs

the t8 is wee

1:38 am

mab

A good thing, Hugs, Galveston was hit pretty hard.

1:39 am

I told her that they're tracking her.

O my, some pathetic visitors again, I see. Ignore is all you can do really.
And I second all those good wishes for those in the track of the storm, and behind it. May they be safe.

1:40 am

Blaze

got the T8 thanks hugs

1:41 am

Jacula

Playing Glenn Campbell's Galveston n the jukebox here for all those folks.xx

1:42 am

Blaze

tims should be a word....have they not heard of Tim Horton's the best coffee and donut shop

1:43 am

mab

Tods and Tads are words, why not Tims indeed.

1:43 am

sprite

ROFLOL!
Alright, for another 8: don't be afraid to try something stupid. Start with a tiny M4/6 and then try some snow. Then pluralize!
M7/52 - M8/70.

1:44 am

Hugabugs

o6/24

1:44 am

torgone

As should "timmus" : all the cups, wrappers etc. found along the roads near any Horton's.

1:45 am

sfneil

It's so sad for the folks around the gulf. I feel guilty that we had a beautiful day here today.

1:47 am

sprite

I am not sure if their grief would be any less if we would all have suffered the same fate. At least now there are people like you and me who can spare them prayers, good thoughts and perhaps help.

1:48 am

Blaze

I agree with Sprite... we or the ones who go to help like baggo are needed..No ying without yang

1:49 am

mab

Yes, I have felt mournful for them. I want to go down to help out. It's truly heart-wrenching.

1:50 am

sfneil

A good thought, Sprite, thanks!

1:51 am

morning all :)

1:51 am

Jacula

Well let's see, 'Not There' were air raid, bar tender, tennis. rabid, defenestrate, adante & antacid.
There, but not in were Brian, Edna & Diane from Britain.

Anita, Anne & Rita, who are Arian, were not allowed i n either, despite being Arian.

1:51 am

sprite

Morning sherb, nice entree ;)

1:54 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - for your m7&8... I don't get the snow part :(

1:54 am

sherb

morning sprite, thanks.....looks like it's a bit more leisurely than yesterday :)

1:54 am

Malise

sprite ty for m7&8 - I can't even use maxi-ones !! But back to normality and the simple things in life - we have some baby fish .......

1:55 am

mab

Neil, at the least, poor people have been made visible to all, including our leaders; perhaps change is possible.

1:55 am

sprite

Hugabugs: think of what you need to travel over snow. It is really that simpel, I tried it just for fun, because it made such a funny word. Then it took!

1:56 am

sfneil

Yeah, me either Hugs! (You'ld think you'd get the snow, if anyone would!)

1:56 am

Hugabugs

Oh geez... just got it Sprite! Was working the wrong angle........AGAIN!

1:57 am

sprite

Malise, how great to know that the fishy babble-gremlin is still active :)

1:57 am

sfneil

mab, that's true. I hope we have (or will have) lleaders who can learn from this!

1:58 am

Hugabugs

Neil - Yeah... you'd think it would come natural to me. However, the i7/36 did... I get used to it being here.

1:59 am

sprite

Wow hugabugs, nice one!

2:00 am

Hugabugs

One more 8 to tackle.... just don't know where though.

2:00 am

Dianne

Would some kind person please post the stats - now that things have calmed down I can back to playing this game :)

2:01 am

sprite

E7/36 will take ages ;)

2:01 am

Jacula

Going now folks. Need sleep

2:01 am

sprite

Sleep well, Jacula.
I'll do the stats, just hold on.

2:01 am

Hugabugs

g'nite Jac! Sweet dreams

2:01 am

torgone

Sweet dreams, Jacula!

2:02 am

mab

Well I have hope that our chief blockhead will 'get it' having seen it up close for the first time: real poverty, real suffering. If he doesn't, he's not capable of ever understanding, which I consider a considerable possibility.

2:02 am

mab

Good night Jacula!

2:02 am

Hugabugs

Nice one Sprite... thanks

2:03 am

Uneaixoise

i'm afraid he has permanent blinders . . . like his mom and dad . . .

sfneil

Ugh. mab, I fear you're right about the POTUS. I can't comment further now -- babble has consumed my brain. I'm going to bed. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks, everyone!

2:08 am

Blaze

does that m 7/52 start like the the state or the word plus the other clue ??? I'm monkey typing and thinking...still not getting it it.

2:08 am

mab

Bless your little heart, sprite! Thanks!

2:08 am

Hugabugs

G'Nite Neil - rest well and sweet dreams

2:08 am

G'nite all. I too must drag my lumbering hulk to bed. I shall try to play more later. Thanks all for the fun!

2:11 am

Blaze

2:11 am

mab

I shall retire, too. I've become positively morose; sleep needed. Thanks everyone.

2:11 am

sprite

There is another E7/36, building on E5/10. Got to do with red crystalline powder / salt.

2:11 am

Hugabugs

Nitey Nites torgone....sweet dreams to you too!

2:12 am

sprite

Sleep well sfneil, torgone and mab.

2:12 am

Babbler

I can't see any more words, think I should go to sleep now too. Found a c6/24, a cordial, if that's useful?

2:12 am

Hugabugs

Goodnight mab... sleep well.

2:13 am

sprite

It is, Babbler, thanks :)
Sweet dreams for you too.

2:13 am

torgone

Nitey-nite Hugs.

2:15 am

sprite

Has S7/44 been mentioned yet?

2:16 am

sprite

Oh, and a similar S7/28.

2:16 am

Hugabugs

If it builds off the s6/30, yes Sprite

2:17 am

sprite

Sorry, I must read the log better. It is getting so long though, lately ;)

2:20 am

I know what you mean... I can't see your similar s7/28 though

2:21 am

sprite

Maybe similar is too strongly put. It's built the same way, takes another vowel though and another center twin.

2:23 am

Blaze

Sprite I got the E words...they are difinitely Babble logic

2:24 am

zoom

morning all:) it's sunny here in UK, just thinking about those affected by Rita - hoping not too much devastation.

2:24 am

Hugabugs

Found them Sprite. Thank you

2:25 am

sprite

Did anyone finish the Cs yet? I can't find those last two, think I tried every possibility. Even monkeytyping won't work.

2:27 am

Hugabugs

Sorry Sprite - I've only got 7 of them

2:28 am

Blaze

I only have 7 too

2:28 am

Dianne

Sprite - I would love to help you but I have no idea how many Cs there are :(

2:29 am

Hugabugs

See Sprite's post at 2:07

2:30 am

sprite

This is what I have so far for Cs:
c 4 6
c 7 36
c 6 24
c 6 24
c 7 36
c 6 24
c 4 6
c 5 14
c 4 6
c 4 9

Dianne, a little earlier in the log the stats were posted. There are 12 Cs.

2:30 am

Dianne

Hugs - thanks. I totally missed that when Ii had lunch>
DUH. Thanks Sprite for doing the post.

2:31 am

sprite

Lol, I just now realise you were the one asking for them, Dianne. ;)

2:31 am

Hugabugs

My grid looks like a gian C - all the outside is shaded except for the M.

2:32 am

sprite

I wonder if that scores, Hugs ;)

2:33 am

Hugabugs

Kinda like a bingo card!

2:33 am

highlander

sprite, another c7 36 followed by c8 50

2:33 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - I compared my c's to yours... nothing new for you. Sorry.

2:34 am

sprite

Speaking of bingo...
I can reveal that the missing Cs must be our missing 8 and a 7, hopefully related. I am done except for those 2... can you believe it? Only missing BIGGIES??? Still can't find them, though.

2:35 am

Hugabugs

Well done Sprite

2:35 am

melissamay

sprite, check the dictionary def for your c7/36 -- it will help :)

2:35 am

sprite

Highlander! Would you please please give me a clue for that combo? It's driving me bananas.

2:36 am

highlander

insert after your 2nd c7

2:37 am

sprite

Grumble... that simple, eh? Thanks, melissa and highlander. Never knew it could be spelled like that. Should look up defs more often, apparently :)

2:38 am

melissamay

Darlin', I nearly always do...for those weird little alternative spellings that make this game such a challenge!

2:40 am

sprite

Good tip, I'll remember that. Just was too arrogant, I thought I certainly knew what my C7/36 meant ;)
122 words / 5.05 / 1883 points it is then, for today. A bit disappointing after yesterday's giant, lol.

2:40 am

Hugabugs

Thanks Sprite and highlander and melissamay... my c's are now done.

2:41 am

flerie

more hints!!!

2:45 am

sprite

7s:
A36, C36, C36, C36, E36, E36, M52, O36, S28, S44. Good hunting, all of you, and thanks for the fun and sharing again. Guess my addiction has as much to do with the kind people here as with the game itself. :)

2:45 am

Hugabugs

Well, I think it's time for me to get to bed. My grid looks so pretty... all the outside shaded and the c in the middle.
Goodnight everyone and thanks for all your help.

2:45 am

melissamay

Same here, sprite...have a wonderful day.

2:46 am

sprite

I think you should get extra points for that achievement, hugs! Good night to you, see you tomorrow :D

2:46 am

Blaze

good nite girls.... I am still stuck on the c 8 but will continue until I get it nailed

2:46 am

melissamay

Night hugs...my grid looks more like a bingo player losing her shirt, but there's always hope! Sweet dreams/good day...

2:48 am

melissamay

Night Blaze! Best of luck finishing!

Have him on a diet - I kept thinking he had just gotten fluffier (only a mother would be so blind), but the vet wasn't fooled. When he starts eyeing the computer mouse hungrily I know I'm in trouble.

I mean, where would I get my daily dose of frustration and angst from if I did?

sudoku i am good at as long as it doesnt involve tabling and x and y thingies

Sudoku is just finding its way over to this side of the pond -- my hubby has started doing it. I prefer Babbling though :)

9:39 am

9:39 am

sproing.. yes.. it is good till you get to your limit for that puzzle.. then it is like.. i can do most... and i can't get any further... but with babble you get hints and clues

9:44 am

sudoku only held my interest for around 1 month... babble i think will hold my attention for a lot longer.. maybe i should register... the stats seem like a good way to go futher :)

9:46 am

Looks okay to me but did keep freezing on me earlier.

9:46 am

Yes, register. There's a young man whose mother would like him to earn more money out there....

It's the quality of being tiny that you're looking for.

10:49 am

Anj

8s to go:

ca8/50 - places to bet/gamble with an extra S
mi8/70 - what a Cooper S would use to do winter sports
os8/50 - songbirds - google 'passerine bird having specialized vocal apparatus'
ro8/40 - colour in the cheeks? like a flower...
ti8/40 - extremely small

10:49 am

davetins

12:59 pm

Hi Hugs! I hate this grid. It's making me feel very stupid.

1:00 pm

Hugabugs

Hi Neil - I agree. The words are coming few and far between. I keep wanting to do seascape and escape, even though there's no P.

1:01 pm

Hugabugs

You should see my grid. I've got only the outside and the C shaded. It looks like a big O.

1:02 pm

FMitch

sfneil - I am glad you said that as it took me quite a while to day to finish this grid.
Hi Hugs and Baggo

Hugabugs

Neil - no6 The cognitive process; cognition.

3:06 pm

sfneil

Thank you both so much!! Pegged it!

3:07 pm

Jax

The downside of finishing early. What do you do with your babble fix the rest of the day? Just came on to lurk. lol

3:08 pm

Hugabugs

jax - you are so right! Only another 9 hours to wait. ;o)

3:08 pm

3:11 pm

Hugabugs

Mo - See FMitch's clue at 1:45

3:11 pm

Jax

3:12 pm

Jax

3:12 pm

mo

Linda0 thanks i will work on that

3:13 pm

mo

Jax thank you too

3:14 pm

Hugabugs

Jax - yeah... I've always been a nightowl. At this time, I'm not employed (working on that) so I can stay up pretty late.

3:15 pm

Jax

Hugs - I would say 'lucky you' at least from a babble perspective but I'm sure you want to work too.

3:16 pm

Hugabugs

Jax - I was with a company for 21 years then they decided to reclassify the requirements for my position. I was no longer "qualified". They did give me an extensive package though and I'm on salary continuance.

3:17 pm

onyx

Hugs, that just sucks.

3:18 pm

CadFan

Would someone take pity on a pood dial up user and post the stats?? Crashes my system to try to view all messages.

3:18 pm

Hugabugs

I was devastated. But now I try to look at it as an opportunity for a new beginning. Umm... anyone hiring?

3:18 pm

Jax

Hugs - that is such a bummer, I have heard so many people have that same experience. I am glad they gave you a good package.

3:19 pm

sfneil

Hugs that's awful! Good luck to you!

3:20 pm

Hugabugs

What I'm really gonna miss is those 6 weeks of vacation a year!

3:20 pm

CadFan

uh, that would bee poor dial up user...

Hugabugs, what do you do?

3:21 pm

Hugabugs

I've had my first summer off since high school. Right now I'm working with a career consultant putting all my stuff together. The company was nice enough to add that to my package.

3:22 pm

Jax

Hugs - where are you in Canada? I am sorry to hear that you have corporate A** holes like we have in the US. What kind of work do you do?

3:23 pm

Hugabugs

I'm an Office Manager with extensive experience in accounting, all administrative aspects including payroll and benefits.

3:24 pm

onyx

try teaching?you'd get the summers off. you can tell the state of the economy by how many Phd.'s are working in the local public schools.

3:24 pm

Hugabugs

Jax - I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba

3:25 pm

Jax

Well I don't know of any jobs, certainly not in Winnipeg! But I will let you know if I do (I'm in Michigan)

3:27 pm

Hugabugs

hehe... If i could get a green card, I'd be willing to relocate!

3:28 pm

Jax

Ok I will keep that in mind, but then again Michigan has 2nd highest unemplyment in us right now so...

3:31 pm

sfneil

Ugh. One last t and I will be done with this vile grid!
I have ti4/6, ti4/4 and ti4/7... what am I being blind about now?

3:31 pm

Hugabugs

I have a friend who just moved from Detroit to Las Vegas because of that (and to escape the winters.)

3:32 pm

Hugabugs

Neil - the wee ti8/40

3:32 pm

Jax

sfneil - the same one that was my last t - an ti 8/40 related to being very small

3:33 pm

Jax

Well folks my son is calling, apparently I'm supposed to have a life outside of babble so let me go see what that is...

3:33 pm

Hugabugs

See ya later Jax!

3:34 pm

Doogle

katmayo - please don't ever post words that are in the grid!

8:20 pm

sproing

signing off -- g'night all!

8:21 pm

katmayo

Thank you Doogle for you kind post.

8:22 pm

katmayo

This is only my 2nd day playing and have not read all the rules---Heil Doogle! goodnight

8:22 pm

Doogle

katmayo - Hey, I'm just asking you to not list words that are in the grid. Not meaning to be mean or anything, but I think you realize that the rest of us are trying to figure the words out. Hokay?

8:24 pm

patact

Perhaps a kinder and gentler posting would have been more appropo... sometimes there are new people who may not realize the rules, or are so caught up in the game they type it in error. To err is human...

8:27 pm

Doogle

I apologize for the ruffling of feathers. I thought that by using "please" I was not being blatantly impolite. No rudeness was intended.

8:27 pm

Eva

I'm going blind and just can't see most of the se's. I have the spanish mister, the deep blues, the detection machine (s). Could some kind soul spare a few clues?

8:31 pm

baggo

good evening all, just back to finish up? were o's posted earlier...stumpin me tonight..

8:35 pm

baggo

hi doogle..

8:38 pm

Doogle

Heya Baggo. How are ya?

8:38 pm

baggo

good and u?

8:41 pm

Doogle

Quite well, thanks. Been to the horse races, seen the Seldom Scene, had breakfast in bed in a Bavarian-style chalet, and did most of my Xmas shopping. An atypically busy weekend for me! Seems kind of surreal when I write it all down...

8:42 pm

baggo

well how great is that...i worked, went to a 6 course french meal, drank way too much, grocery shopping..gto extremely wet in the rain from rita...not near as fun as you, nor as impressive when written down... 8-/

8:44 pm

Doogle

The eating and drinking certainly sounds good! :)

8:45 pm

baggo

ooooh it was wonderful! the dranking fun until i woke up and had 3 kids to take care of..that are usually so quiet until my head hurts...patience patience patience...love the eye by the way...

8:45 pm

baggo

s/b drinking...dranking...sounds like babble word for sure...

9:18 pm

baggo

anyone know the total points or have all of the s6's..missing one and it's my last word...

9:20 pm

9:29 pm

Eva

Same here. I'm missing the same one along with a lot of e's. For e's I've only got ea4/4,eo4/4 and en6/24. Can either of you help?

ty brandyjack...i just found anj's earlier post of the ss's i have the sa one, it's an se18, that i shall begin noodling for...ty ty again...;)

9:43 pm

Eva

baggo,

Am I right that you are missing one of the se6/18's? I have 2 of them. One is an electronic detection device and the other is the plural of males south of the border.

Can I trade you for the sa6/18 which is what I am missing?

9:46 pm

brandyjack

now which border might we be talking about............

9:47 pm

Eva

oops- sorry for the vagueness - the North American border.

9:47 pm

brandyjack

Sa6 is plural of the sa5/10

9:49 pm

Eva

yes, and wouldn't it be lovely if I had that sa5, but I've struck out terribly with the sa's tonight. I keep wanting to find sasquatch, or however you spell it, and hallucinating things which don't exist anywhere in the puzzle, let alone the universe.

9:50 pm

Eva

Just a few minutes and then I'm going to hang it up. I'm not going to finish anyway.

9:52 pm

brandyjack

members of the clan of hashishan, with some missing pieces

9:53 pm

baggo

eve, teh sa5 and sa6 are antelopes..(def) but think of a smart mouthed child with only one consonant in the middle.. blaze did you just come on cause your icon just changed...

9:53 pm

Doogle

Yes, Blaze - we do monitor your icon for change. It's how we keep tabs on you. ;)

9:56 pm

baggo

and you know doogle, with that eye staring at me..it lets me know you're watching...brandyjack you went back to your old one too... 8-/

9:57 pm

calicomo

I have k4/8 could I have a clue for the other k please

9:58 pm

CadFan

they are both k 4/8 one is a symbol of affection the other is Santa's first name

9:59 pm

brandyjack

Kr4/8 Sikhe (sp?) ceremonial sword

10:00 pm

calicomo

Thank you, I got it.

10:05 pm

brandyjack

I think I go that missing se6/18 when I fat-fingered another word...
Braided cordage formed by plaiting several strands of rope fiber or similar material.
Plaited straw, grass, or palm leaves for making hats.

10:05 pm

Eva

Thank you all! Finally got the 2 sa's!! Couldn't find the antelopes in google, but the clan of hashishan kept haunting me and suddenly AHA! Now I can go to sleep.

10:06 pm

brandyjack

Going to sleep thinking of that clan is not a very settling thing.....

10:07 pm

melissamay

Hi everyone! I'm missing the first se 6/18 that can be expanded to an se 7/28. May I have a clue?

10:07 pm

CadFan

How many se 6/18's are there?

10:07 pm

calicomo

May I have a hint for the r8 please

10:08 pm

baggo

cadfan there are a total of 3 se/18

10:08 pm

melissamay

There seem to be 3 -- I have one for Spanish gentleman and the other for electronic device.

10:08 pm

brandyjack

3. The one I just found, the spanish male pronoun, and some elecetronic device.

10:08 pm

Eva

Thinking of hashish, on the other hand, is indeed soporific. I began to look for other words and slapped myself upside the head with a stern NO. This is just terrible for the neck, shoulders, back. I need a masseuse after I play.

10:09 pm

CadFan

Oh, duh, yes, I have 3

10:10 pm

melissamay

Ah brandyjack, I see your posting right below for my missing se6! Nevermind, then :)

10:10 pm

baggo

calicomo, think of what could be said about one's cheeks after playing out in the cold...

10:10 pm

Eva

calicomo, think of an adjective for the color of the sky at dawn.

10:11 pm

Doogle

Actually a noun that describes the quality or state of being that adjective. I know... picky Doogle. :)

10:11 pm

baggo

doogle, you nail me everytime....lol

10:12 pm

Eva

Very right - I knew something was wrong but couldn't think of how to say it. Many, many years since grammar classes.

10:14 pm

Eva

Goodnight.

10:14 pm

baggo

night eva..

10:16 pm

calicomo

Got it thank you. That's all the r's

10:22 pm

calicomo

I've passed 1000 so I can go sleep now. Good nite all. Thank you for the help.....

10:23 pm

baggo

doogle, total points...1883

10:28 pm

Doogle

That implies completion, Baggo. Congrats! Me, I'm a-slogging. :-|

10:30 pm

baggo

yeah finished up...need any help?

10:32 pm

melissamay

baggo, I could use some help getting the first ac5/14 -- the clue berries or granulations was posted earlier but I still can't find it. Thanks!

10:37 pm

baggo

melissamay...how about this... one of the small sacs or saclike dilations in a compound gland

10:39 pm

melissamay

baggo, thanks very much for sticking around to help me find that!

10:54 pm

Doogle

And... done. Whew. This one was unusually tough for its size. G'night all.

11:37 pm

Jera

Can't get that ac word (sac)... how does it end?? I can't make -us reach...

11:39 pm

baggo

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

11:41 pm

Jera

ty... also need that long t, please... no est to end like I thought at first...

11:41 pm

mab

Jera: it ends with the feature in the middle of your face.

11:43 pm

mab

Jera: synonym for smallness.

11:48 pm

Jera

I can't believe I can't find those middle 2 lettlers...

11:50 pm

plurple

jera what are you looking for?

11:52 pm

Jera

The long ti... can't hook up beginning & ending...

11:52 pm

Doogle

Jera - think the most wee of scottish lakes... ;)

11:53 pm

plurple

ti plus a letter plus last five of ro8/40

11:53 pm

baggo

jera think of bubbles in your wine

11:54 pm

Jera

You're very kind to think I have ro8/40, LOL!

11:55 pm

baggo

the quality or state of ones cheeks after being out in the cold...(ro/8)...how's that doogle?

11:55 pm

plurple

hahaha okay...
hmm..
it uses the 2nd to last row, all letters except O
an N from the last row,
and an E S S from some other rows.

11:56 pm

plurple

you have 5 minutes, GO!

11:56 pm

Doogle

Or how about a type of foil, a woman's name, and an extra sibilant at the end.

11:56 pm

Jera

ty plurple, I was trying to end with nose... no wonder it wasn't working!

11:57 pm

baggo

doogle should've known you'd do it better...lol

11:57 pm

mab

Both words use the same ending. Think teeny and pinky.

11:57 pm

plurple

hahah no problem Coco!

11:57 pm

Jera

Truly pathetic today... I wasn't feeling well & slept this afternoon...

11:58 pm

Doogle

ha. The nose bit was part of mab's clue for the a7. I was wondering if those 2 clues would get mixed up.

11:58 pm

mab

nose goes with your ac. Add vowel before it.

11:59 pm

plurple

now get the ro8/40! same last 5 letters

11:59 pm

baggo

jera, but you know the good thing is that a new one starts in a few...8-/

11:59 pm

sprite

Waiting in line for the new grid to appear... :)
Morning all!

12:00 am

baggo

hello sprite....get in line....not sure who's first

12:00 am

Doogle

Hi Sprite. There's a line now?? You will be served when your number is called. :)

12:00 am

baggo - not a few, in 1!

12:00 am
