Can't fall asleep so decided to check out the new puzzle.
12:01 am
Hugabugs
Hi Munner
12:03 am
pearlgirl
Hi, Munner! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! Good luck!
12:05 am
Munner
pearlgirl, you're up late tonight.
12:06 am
Blaze
wholly schmolly I was gone for a blink and you are at if fast and furious LOL
12:06 am
pearlgirl
We had a girls day at the college to visit The Boy and got in late!
12:07 am
Munner
So, are you hooked on babble, peargirl?
12:07 am
pearlgirl
I'm trying not to be!
12:09 am
sprite
Morning all :D
12:10 am
Blaze
top o the morning to you Sprite

Hugabugs
Hiya Sprite
12:14 am
sprite
I like that i6 from yours, hugs :)
12:16 am
Hugabugs
I listen to some of that type of music.
12:16 am
pearlgirl
Goodnight, Munner!
12:17 am
Blaze
second i 6/21
12:17 am
Munner
nite, pearlgirl
12:18 am
sprite
Lol, are there 2? Perhaps it was yours I liked, Blaze... can't combine Hugs answer to the i6 I have :D
12:22 am
mab
I wonder who complained that we never have enough d's.
12:22 am
Hugabugs
Now I'm really curious to find this other i6
12:23 am
Blaze
Hugs it is in the same area.... I got that one first and then went back after your music clue.....
12:25 am
Hugabugs
I think I got it... it's an anagram of mine. That's where I'll be most of the winter.
12:25 am
Blaze
thats the one
12:26 am
mab
Just got Hugabugs's. I'd like hers for the winter.
12:26 am
sprite
Darn, I had yours already without realising it, hugs :) If I can't even count to 6, can I finish this grid?
12:27 am
mab
I can't figure out how there can be 125 words in this grid.
12:27 am
sprite
F6/27, don't think it has been mentioned yet.
12:27 am
Hugabugs
LOL Sprite... Oh we know you can!
12:29 am
sprite
No seriously! I took your anagram clue, paper and pencil, found another word with those letters, entered it and got the "oops, you dummie, you entered that already" message. It is too early for this :)
12:31 am
Hugabugs
You just need to wake up a bit more... it's early! ;o)
12:36 am
tonyv
are the stats up yet?
12:36 am
mab
A second s7/36
12:38 am
whitespace
d7/48
12:42 am
Blaze
I am off until tommorrow....reality calls again......
12:42 am
Munner
Okay, I'm halfway. Better try to get to sleep again.
12:42 am
Munner
Nite, Blaze/
12:43 am
Blaze
Nite Munner have a great day tomorrow
12:43 am
Hugabugs
Goodnight Blaze and Munner - sleep well
12:43 am
tonyv
is the letter count available yet?
12:44 am
mab
Good night Blaze, Munner.
1:14 am
Krys10
ugh, car alarm malfunctioning. police say we have to wait 45 minutes before they'll tow... guess I'm up for a while :)
1:15 am
sprite
E7/48
Bad start of the day, Krys10... hope it is over soon.
1:15 am
Hugabugs
That doesn't sound like too much fun Krys
1:15 am
mab
Is your alarm on now?
1:16 am
Dianne
Does anyone know how many D words there are in this thing?
1:16 am
Hugabugs
I think it's 33 D's
1:18 am
Krys10
Not my car alarm, someone parked on my street - ten seconds on, ten seconds off. Sprite, remember it's the *end* of my day :)
1:20 am
sprite
I assumed it wasn't your car. It is so getting on ones nerves, that noise, I hate it too. Bad luck, now you'll have to babble until it stops :)
1:20 am
mab
Oh, that sounds painful, Krys10! What a nuisance.
1:20 am
Krys10
yeah, poor me, especially with all these great clues lying around for me to find :)
1:21 am
mab
It's a very odd grid, I think.
1:21 am
sprite
And nobody complaining you stay up way too late just to babble... you are justified now!
1:22 am
sprite
I agree, mab.
1:22 am
sprite
Also E7/44
1:22 am
Krys10
I'm sad that there's no "fodder" or "midwife"
1:22 am
Hugabugs
it looks good at first glance... then you find the words you thought were there really aren't.
1:23 am
sprite
Nor misdoer and misdoes.
1:23 am
Hugabugs
I see widow every time I look at it
1:23 am
mab
Or custody. I think that's all the 7s Sprite.
1:25 am
Krys10
Or indices.
ahhh, ear plugs...
1:25 am
mab
Siddow, as in Max von, is distracting me, and I don't even know who that is (just a detached name floating in my head).
1:26 am
sprite
D7/48
E7/48
E7/44
M7/48
S7 /36
T7/36
1:27 am
mab
I actually own several sets of ear plugs (extremely sensitive to sound at times). Odd.
1:27 am
Dianne
Sprite - I thought someone said earlier that the were @ S7/36. Were they wrong?
1:28 am
mab
I wish a could send you a fresh pair through cyberspace, Krys10.
1:28 am
Krys10
there are two S7/36, right? (not that I've found any sevens yet with this racket!)
1:28 am
sprite
You could have a pair of mine, Krys10 - but before you got them, the noise will have stopped, I am sure :) And yo
1:29 am
sprite
and you will be sound asleep, I was typing, when the message posted itself. Odd indeed.
1:29 am
Hugabugs
Yeah, I've been searching for the other s7
1:30 am
sprite
I only have the 6 I listed, and the stats panel says there are no more. Are the stats wrong?
1:31 am
Krys10
mab, can you confirm the S7/36 x2?
1:33 am
Krys10
Yay! Tow truck is here! Not long now...
1:33 am
mab
Hmmm...I may be the culprit. I posted that there was another S7, and I don't remember what I was thinking. I must have made a mistake.
1:34 am
sprite
Perhaps the T7, they are close.
1:34 am
mab
Yey Krys!
I'm sorry, I can't confirm. Must be only one. Sorry.
1:34 am
Hugabugs
No problem mab... it's late for us.
1:38 am
mab
And what an S it is!
1:38 am
sprite
Actually, such an S should count double ;)
1:40 am
Krys10
The tow truck took the noisy naughty car away and I immediately found three 7's! can't stop now...
1:40 am
sprite
You need to unwind before you can sleep, Krys10 :D
1:41 am
Hugabugs
and Babble is the perfect way to unwind! ;o)
1:41 am
mab
Ah, Babble must be singing its Siren song....
1:41 am
sprite
Finally found that Y-word (Y4/10). Stupid scrabble word.
1:47 am
Hugabugs
I remembered it from the last time we had it. It is an odd one though
1:49 am
Hugabugs
The D's are downed! I finally got all the 7's
1:49 am
sprite
I just looked up the meaning and now I believe there is a rock 'n' roll song with that word in it... otherwise I haven't seen it anywhere. Def: Certainly; assuredly.
1:50 am
Krys10
Tomorrow when this puzzle's over, Sprite, I'd love to know what song you mean - I can't imagine anyone knowing that word just for the heck of it!
1:52 am
Hugabugs
Sprite - Is it Led Zeppelin?
1:52 am
sprite
I have this nagging line that goes on in my head, just not enough to waken the memory of what exact song, but I know it will come up if I don't think about it. And then I'll probably find it is not exactly that word, but something that sounds like it, LOL.
1:53 am
Hugabugs
I'm disappointed that owies isn't allowed. My daughter has had many of those. ;o)
1:53 am
Krys10
..someone with a speech impediment singing about purple flowers!
I'm off to bed (finally). Thanks for the support and virtual earplugs and clues. See you in the morning.
1:54 am
Hugabugs
G'night Krys.... enjoy the peace! ;o)
1:55 am
sprite
Night, Krys10, pleasant and silent dreams!
1:56 am
mab
Night Krys. Peace be with you and with the neighborhood.
1:57 am
sprite
125 words / 4.62 / 1600 points even.
Funny grid, but worth playing. Alright, I admit, they all are :)
1:58 am
Hugabugs
I'm almost there... just 13 to go
1:58 am
tonyv
does anyone have the letter counts?
1:58 am
helenary
how do some people know how many words there are?
how do you know the breakdown?
1:59 am
mab
And I'm on your heels with 60 to go... You are both amazing. I'm still fixated on the y word.
1:59 am
Hugabugs
If you become a Babble Pro - you get a grid that tells you how many words, the breakdown between letter count, and a grid that tells you how many words derive from any letter in the grid.
2:00 am
helenary
thank you!!
2:01 am
Hugabugs
Plus you get to place an icon, and the flag and gender indicator.
2:01 am
helenary
too shy for all that!
2:03 am
Hugabugs
The grid is well worth the $9.95 US for a lifetime membership.
2:06 am
Hugabugs
I'm attempting to do a breakdown. Just give me a few
2:07 am
helenary
not sure yet
2:09 am
Hugabugs
4-letter words: 70
5-letter words: 38
6-letter words: 11
7-letter words: 6
125 words
c - 1
d - 33
e - 10
f - 2
i - 8
j - 4
m - 14
n - 5
o - 3
r - 4
s - 16
t - 11
u - 1
w - 12
y - 1
2:11 am
helenary
I see. I notice Brendyjack has all the answers/words. He seems to be up there knowing the most unbelievable words. A few other like you too.
2:13 am
Hugabugs
Oh, it's not that I know them. I do a lot of monkey typing
and when I'm really stuck a2zwordfinder helps too. Plus, the more you play the more you remember the odd words.
2:15 am
helenary
its the clues that you all give that help the beginners like me get right into the obsessiveness of it all!
2:16 am
Hugabugs
I so enjoy some of the ways the clues are given. Some with total disregard to the meanings... it's so funny sometimes. But, they do work.
2:17 am
helenary
its a fun game
2:17 am
mab
It seems that players bring various skills to the game; Brandyjack likes to research the words and is great at giving clues. Sprite and Hugs are simply blazing stars, and so on. Different strengths. Others, like me, are, one hopes, improving, learning new tricks, etc.
2:18 am
Hugabugs
I think what brings me back the most is the Babble community. They are all so friendly and eager to help.
2:21 am
mab
That's so true, Hugs. I'm so taken with how each person's personality comes through. It is like a little community.
2:22 am
Hugabugs
I enjoy the chitchat so much. I really wish we had a way to chat off the Babble board also.
2:26 am
Atalante
you could always set up a babble chat room on yahoo or irc or something :)
2:26 am
mab
I do too. I've not gone to the babblers anonymous site, but I hear that it's hopping.
2:27 am
Hugabugs
I registered at Babblers Anonymous, but I think it is a forum for posting only.
2:29 am
helenary
babbler's anonymous? whats that? for addicts?
I must say you are all really a nice lot of people..and so polite! I live in australia and it fels like everyone sleeps when I get going with a new game.
2:30 am
Hugabugs
It's almost 2:30 a.m. here. I'm a nightowl ;o)
2:31 am
mab
Oh, I see. I'm not very familiar with the chat scene. I should educate myself. Yahoo seems like a promising venue, as Atalante just pointed out. Hmmm...
2:33 am
helenary
i only discovered it a week or so ago. Since i love scrabble I got right into it and it has dominated my time ever since, except when i am workng or socialising or being responsible. There are certain people who you take a liking too either because they are really smart, really kind, really funny or just likable..they become familiar.
2:34 am
sprite
Was away for a while, just read up the log. I agree totally, this is a very nice community. More into getting everyone to the finish than into competing, that's what I like so much. And the fun. People here can be so witty and have such great remarks. :)
2:35 am
Hugabugs
I used to have IRC set up on my old computer, but I don't have it on this one, and I can't remember how to do it. I've never used Yahoo chat... but it seems like a feasible way to go too.
2:36 am

Good morning Ferrari.

You need an IRC client, like mIrc or trillion. And then all you have to do is type in at start - run the command.
irc://domein.extensi e/chatgroupname.
2:37 am
macadam
Good day all.Just been reading the log.Don`t forget we are assorted ages creeds and colours.(I assume) and if you want to play and not chat thats fine.
2:38 am
helenary
this is my first chat and it was nice..i'll leave it now to you guys.
2:38 am
Hugabugs
I played for about two weeks before I started to post. I was too shy at first.
2:38 am
Hugabugs
And now you guys can't get rid of me! ;o)
2:38 am
macadam
Hi Ferrari.Are you fully rested after your looooooooooong weekend babbling?
2:38 am
lottijw
Morning mum....school run coming up!!
2:38 am
sprite
Sure macadam. But those who do that, we never meet and know nothing about, except when they play really well. I am sure the number of players far exceeds the chat-community here :)
2:38 am
flerie
Hi all! Sprite any clue on the y word?
2:38 am
mab
Good morning macadam. Excellent point.
2:40 am
Hugabugs
helenary - Please stay. There's always room for one more
2:40 am
macadam
See you later lottie.
2:40 am
sprite
Flerie: it's Y4/10, not so many ways to get that point total with 4 letters. It means certainly, assuredly. And it is a crazy scrabble word. You'd wish you knew the word ;)
2:40 am
SunnFlower
I've been reading the log and to me it seems incredible how far apart both in miles and time zones but talking to each other, the chat is part of the whole babble experience, my family think I'm crackers- obsessively so
2:41 am
lottijw
Yeah, ok. Prob call at work 1st so it may be about 10.45ish :)
2:41 am
sprite
And proud to be, ferrari :)
2:41 am
SunnFlower
definitely
2:41 am
macadam
I agree Sprite , but that`s another good point.It`s all about choice.(except if we can`t play----that`s no choice at all!!!)
2:42 am
macadam
My kind of crackers Ferrari.
2:43 am
mab
There is a strange insanity to the lovabilty of the babble experience. Isn't it great? I almost feel like I've joined a cult -- without giving up all my worldly possessions!
2:43 am
helenary
thank you..i'll just float in and out because I am afraid I will let it take over too much..you are a terrific lot!!
2:44 am
Dianne
Mab - I totally agree with you but - we have given up our spare time!
2:44 am
SunnFlower
there must be many who just lurk, or turn the log off, can you believe anyone would do such a shocking thing!
2:44 am
flerie
Thanks Sprite...I'm still working on it... :)
2:45 am
sprite
Well, we may be from all over the world and differ in almost every possible way, but we all share a few things: a love for words, for puzzling, at least some intelligence and some tenacity in our nature. I feel perfectly at home here, though I don't chat much elsewhere.
2:45 am
SunnFlower
can you see me waving mac?
2:45 am
macadam
A lovely picture ,floating in and out,A far nicer description than popping.See you around helenary.
2:46 am
Dianne
I've never been in a chat room forum before. The fist several days I was playing I wouldn't even venture to enter the conversation - to shy and feeling out of the group. Then it just gets to you and you want to jump right in.
2:46 am
helenary
thank you once again!!
2:47 am
macadam
Did you see me waving back or did the low cloud get in the way?
2:47 am
sprite
Flerie, try this: if I'd say to you: you'd wish you knew the word, you would answer: yeah, .......
Then try to put that answer in letters you have available for the Y-word.
2:48 am
Hugabugs
Dianne - That's how I felt at first too. But the friendliness just exudes off the screen and you want to become a part of it.
2:48 am
sprite
Could you guys stop waving so frantically? You are messing up my papers with all the wind you're causing!
2:48 am
SunnFlower
dianne I find the chat takes over sometimes, I haven't typed a word in for about 10 minutes
2:49 am
macadam
Sorry Sprite I`ll try to control myself.Got to go to work soon anyway,but I`ll be back.
2:49 am
Dianne
I5t was sort of like this a few days ago - the chat was more fun than the puzzle (well almost). Hows everybody doing?
2:50 am
SunnFlower
more like the hill mac, I can't see Longwood from here, i saw you in my mind though lol
2:50 am

3:03 am
Hugabugs
And with that, I really need to get to bed. Thanks everyone for the wonderful conversation and the help. See you later on.
3:04 am
sprite
I am starting to suspect babble of erasing words.
That last grid with 'geez' in it... it was the first word I entered, and halfway I tried to finish the Gs, couldn't, checked my list, and there was no 'geez' to be seen. Very odd.
3:04 am
SunnFlower
sleep tight Hugs
3:05 am
mab
Sweet dreams, Hugs.
3:11 am
Dianne
Sprite - I've wondered the same thing but then I figure that I just thought the word or wrote it but didn't acutally type it in.
3:13 am
SunnFlower
sprite, sometimes I put words in and I'm not watching the screen, then I realise I mistyped it or something so it's not there and when it's a big grid or an s or something you don't notice it's missing til you've forgotten, do you know what I mean
3:14 am
Dianne
Working the W words and I need the wi5/26 - any little hint?
3:16 am
sprite
Must be something like that, but I am certain I saw the word 'geez' on my list, since it was the very first word. But somewhere on that day I lost all my words too, except the last one I entered, and they came back after a forced refresh. Maybe something went wrong there.
Dianne: W6 spelled differently.
3:21 am
Dianne
Sprite - got it - another case of going in the wrong direction!
3:27 am
sprite
I'm off for now, seems I have to do things beside babble today. Good luck hunting to all of you and I'll try to check back later to see if anyone needs hints.
3:36 am

What's wrong with Ken Dodd's diddy men? Babble

Hi sis, how are you? :)
4:03 am
SunnFlower
yes lottijw, the worst bits about camping are if you need to w3/6 or your lilo goes down when you're asleep
4:04 am

Flerie - Thanks - I didn't even know that was a word.

Dianne a lilo is a blow up bed
4:07 am

any clues on i5/12 and i5/16?
4:07 am
Dianne
Ferrari - learn something new every day - but the big questions is "will babble accept it"?
4:09 am
SunnFlower
I don't think lilo has come up since I started playing, will wait with bated breath
4:09 am
lottijw
I`ll buy you lots of chocolate!!!! Are you running out of supplies because of staying up late????
My hubby would have chucked a megga freddy if i stayed on late!!
4:09 am
Haz1558
The i 5/16 is the plural of i 4/7 and the other i5 you're looking for describes some types of music.
4:10 am
Dianne
Haz - thanks - I've finished the i words and am hunting the Es.
4:10 am

6:02 am
movieman
ferrari - the method I use for choosing icons is to go on to Google images, and type in the words "buddy icons", along with the type of icon I'm looking for, then I save the icon onto the hard drive, and go from there...
6:03 am
SunnFlower
can you use your own picture?
6:07 am
Jacula
Ferrari - Yes, you can use your own picture if it's stored on your computer.
6:08 am

Hi ToeSock,
Your icon is very arty!
10:56 am

having a few probs getting an icon - keep getting "not a format that Babble understands" - a bit like the word you just KNOW is a word but will not get accepted!!! Any tips?
10:56 am
torgone
TSM - You might have to crop your pic to a square before uploading.
10:58 am

Dachef, Babble prefer jpeg. That's how I did it.
11:00 am

I sound like Hulk. Babble prefers...
11:06 am
Bobsta
Afternoon all,
Dachef: if you see any picture you like, right click it and go to 'properties' you'll see a web address for that picture. highlight the whole address, right click on it, and click on copy. then in the edit profile page, right click in the web address window and click paste. then click on upload and you should have your icon. babble will resize it if its a jpeg.
11:08 am

Hey Bobsta, how goes it?

11:16 am
Bobsta
Very strange, thought it seemed quiet around here!
11:16 am

yeh - ths "work" thingy really gets in the way of the Babbling doesnt it? I got called into work last night to deal with a "crisis" (!), which meant I only half-completed the grid. I was in a really bad mood all night. O God, I really need to get some help.....

Got the second letter list. Thanks for telling me to scroll back!
11:44 am

Seems quieter than usual anyway today!!
11:45 am
Miyavi_fan
Hey Lotti :) I reckon it's the absence of Anj that makes it so quiet
11:45 am
Dachef
somebody should go and wake him up.
11:46 am
Miyavi_fan
Or wave some chocolate under his nose
11:46 am
Dachef
actually, no, let him sleep, lets all finish before he gets here, then we can give him some clues for a change!!!!

hi.i'm pretty new to the game. how do yo interpret something like OD 4/6. what does that mean?

It`s because you`re clever Miyavi.......and it helps when you`ve played for a while because the words become familiar :)

Woot! Got it! Thank you all for the hints on yw word! Eak!
11:57 am

Oh dear, that's how mine started. If I can catch
it early, I take 1000mg Redoxin and a Lysine
tablet, as recommended by a doctor friend. You
can buy Lysine in health food stores. It's brilliant. Staves off cold sores, too.
11:58 am

I'm fine now, by the way. Ta for asking!

Nik - welcome to babble. OD 4/6 means that the word starts with od, it has four letters and the values on the tiles will give you 6 points.
12:01 pm

Nik - word of warning. this stuff is addictive. I started about a month ago, and am already in therapy. Begin at your peril....

awwww, you poor luv. What was the subject today? (not that I remember much!!)
12:15 pm

Babbler, yeah, but I never sneezed on him. <passes a babbler a vaguely soiled hanky>

Babbler
oh nooo!! I killed Kenny!!!
thx for the tissue, Dachef, v much appreciated! *sniff*
12:16 pm
Miyavi_fan
Ah, we've inexplicably moved from trig to some fraction-scented stuff. *shudders* Plus, I think my maths teacher is in love with my best friend, so that's vaguely distracting :)
12:17 pm

favouritism, Miy. Always irritated me. Unless I was teacher's pet, in which case I revelled in it!! LOL !
I enjoyed fractions....

he's just taking pity on the thick, Miy, dont' you worry about it!!
lol !

Pity on the thick!? Ah, non, my friend is top in maths! (how do I stand her?!) She hates it though. A strange fish she is.

And why did i say my instead or Mr? Spastic hand syndrome seems to be attacking me like always.

Dachef, was it a beeeaauuuuuuutiful tree?
What kind of tree was it? Don't tell me, cherry blossom? Or conker tree?
12:25 pm

I know...confusing indeedy. Right now I'm venting my anger by translating one of my favourite songs...it has the random line "Save me Popeye!" Then again, my translational skills aren't fab. But I'm pretty sure tasukete is save me...

when you're 13, and those hormones pump, o god, i never want to go through all that again. Anyway, nothing was ever proved, and the police said they would not be pursuing the matter....

I luuuuurve all trees with a passion that dares not speak it's name. *cheesy grin* In fact, me and the beech in my back garden are married, but the union's only legal in the state of Oklahoma
12:28 pm
Invader_Jodie
Cathy. When DID you marry this bench? You never mentioned it to me, unless it was one of those times where i had gone into my alternate universe filled with Irkens. Infact i think im there now. HI ZIM!
Now i best be quiter before i lose my sanity....even more.
maybe i should actually try and find words now, other than my name. And i should soon stop looking for more suff to put in my planner.
12:31 pm

Miy, Dach, .......... aaaaaattchhoooooooooo!!

ok, trees. I love trees too, but I think you both have issues....

But on that note, I have to go. Be back...sometime. I have to go hug various trees, they feel unloved. *sobs* poor dears...aaaanyway. Y'all be good. Pop is dead!
12:31 pm

eva- often a last name, a drink with bananas or to help something grow
12:32 pm

Pop is dead, Miy, true.
Have fun hugging your trees. Hug a tree for me!

Hey did anyone play on Saturday when the game was messed up? Did it ever come back up?
12:39 pm
EvaNadine
45 left to go here...
the 7s arent coming to me today...heh
12:40 pm
Jax
I didn't play and my ranking jumped by like 15 slots, I wondered if people got started, got cut off and that ruined their rankings.
12:40 pm
Babbler
Jax, it came up alright. And those of us here stayed up verrrrrryy late and had a party!! It was really funny!
:D
12:41 pm
Jax
It was a good day for me NOT to play, my life was busy that day, so I was relieved it wasn't up. If it was I would have been compelled to play and the rest of my life would have fallen by the wayside.
12:45 pm
Babbler
Life outside Babbleverse is over-rated. You get more or less the same results with minimal effort. (Or at least that's true for my life!!)
12:46 pm
Babbler
..... though I can't find a way round doing the shopping AND play Babble..............??!?!
12:46 pm
Babbler
..... and laundry doesn't wash itself. And there's noone else to cook my dinner...........
12:48 pm
Jax
Babbler - I had my son's soccer game and then a football game to watch. UM football always takes 1st place in my heart (yes even over babble) and we were playing a rival so it was an important game.
12:49 pm
Jax
so no real reason why my rank jumped I guess, just luck i suppose. I have noticed that when I don't play I seem to move up faster. guess that says something about my playing. lol
12:49 pm
Babbler
Ahaaa, I see your dilemma. Yes, it was a good thing you didn't have Babble nagging you!
Did anyone see the eclipse this morning? I slept through it....

Thanks, dachef, good clue though I have no idea what the word means!
1:04 pm
Dachef
Babbler - since you started sneezing earlier my nose has been running and Im coughing like a forty-a-day man. is it possible to transmit a cold through your computer. It can only be your fault. ;)
1:05 pm
Eva
Any clues for the y word? I understand that the second letter is a w? how bizarre!
1:06 pm
Babbler
Dachef, you hypochondriac!! LOL!!
That would be a psychosomatic cold!
Or a sympathy cold.
Or power of suggestive thought cold
Or don't want to be left outof the gang cold....

1:28 pm

My goodness! I just walked in and the applause is deafening. Did Dachef win the Pulizter Prize? The Nobel? The Prix de Paris? The Booker? etc, etc,?
1:29 pm
Babbler
awww, you little luv! You see, you get carried away, get all exuberant, and something happens. I don't know....! Best get you to a doc first thing, if you can last that long?
1:29 pm
Babbler
No Mab, he completed the game, but Miyavi got jealous, so I got on her case, and now she's broken her hip and I feel bad.
1:29 pm
lola100
Babblers, I must leave you to your addiction for a while but will try to pop in later to see how you're all doing :) Anj says hi, btw. He's checking out a band tonight.
1:30 pm
Babbler
laters, Lola!!
say hi to Anj from us!
1:30 pm
Invader_Jodie
*pats cathy like a maniac on the back* There there, your hip is not broken, mearly twisted maniacally out of shape.
I know that didnt help very much. Im evil like that because you where evil to me when my brain died.
*thinks* now where did i leave my brain?
1:30 pm
Miyavi_fan
Don't worry, I'm in a constant state of...er...carried-awayness. Managed to trap a nerve in cross country this morning, by doing an improvised "let's go down to disco" extravaganza when I was done :/
1:31 pm
torgone
Later little lola!
1:31 pm
Babbler
Jodie, could your brain be under Dachef's tree? He can't find that either....
1:31 pm
Miyavi_fan
Jodes...did you see my dancey dancey time this morning? I don't know why they called it cross country, we didn't cross any countries. Just ran around a field for an hour
1:32 pm
mab
I'm sure it's not you fault Babbler. Besides, Miyavi is too young to break a hip. A cup of strong, sweet tea will perk her right up. Miyavi? Miyavi? Speak to me girl! Oh dear.
1:32 pm
Miyavi_fan
Jodie, check behind the sofa. That's where I found my Dir en Grey CD. Weird.
1:32 pm
Invader_Jodie
So you danced madly while i was dying out on the field. Typical. No i didnt see your dance, I was too busy trying not to die.
Maybe it is under dachefs tree. *tries to find tree*
1:33 pm
mab
Oh there, she's fine. Dancing is very therapeutic.
1:33 pm
Babbler
I'm off to have my dinner and watch Coronation Street and Eastenders. Back later..... : D

1:34 pm

I cant check behind the sofa because nothing can get behind there. And what WAS your dir en grey cd doing behind there?
Maybe i left it in my planner, or the printer o_0

1:34 pm

Hi Mab, I need only 42 words *sigh*
1:36 pm
Miyavi_fan
I really don't know Jodes...I never take my Dir en Grey CDs in the lounge, DeG frighten my family. They stay safe in my room. Only now and then I guess they fancy going on walkies
1:37 pm
pricey
hey evry1 add me on msn if u wna chat liam900@hotmail.co.uk 15/m/uk
1:37 pm
Invader_Jodie
Must of gone walkies. I know CDs like a bit of a walk around the house. Well actually i dont really know but i presume they like to have an explore. Bit like mountain climbing for them.
1:38 pm
mab
Well...I walk into the room and everyone leaves. I could get a complex. Even at my age. AND break a hip.
1:38 pm
Miyavi_fan
Dude, I wouldn't trust people like me with your msn address. Straaaange things happen to people who chat with me...*gives manic grin*

I'm still here, mab. Just monkey-typing furiously.

Miyavi_fan
There, there, Mab...I know the feeling. Someone fetch medicinal chocolate!
1:40 pm
Invader_Jodie
Even stranger things happen if you talk with me. If you value your sanity, youd stay clear from me. Im known to have random rantings about Zim. I kept asking hayley for a Voot Cruiser and a Spittle Runner today.
MMmmm....Medicinial chocolate. *steals it all*
1:41 pm
Miyavi_fan
Indeediness, Jodes. Maybe they wake up in the middle of the night with dreams of exploring the unknown! Trekking bravely over the peaks of the stairs, through stifling heats in the airing cupboard! *sighs* Ah, the spirit of the young'uns!
1:42 pm

Hi Torgone. I guess it's still morning in San Diego. Monkey typing is all one can do with this puzzle, I fear. It's grisly. Have 40 nearly non-words to ferret out. Hi Deutsch!

o_0 ok thats taking it a bit too far.
Also im suprised you havnt asked me what a voot cruiser and spittle runner are :p
Since when was everyday easter? Im so confused. Brain slowly melting, even though its still lost. Now let me try to think what november the 22nd could be, and where all these words are.
1:46 pm

1:48 pm
mab
What are we mourning, Miyavi?
1:49 pm
Invader_Jodie
Mourining day, why be the day of today mourining day?
:O How do you know they are spaceships? Only people who know anything about Zim would know about the voot cruiser, but not the spittle runner.
1:50 pm
Miyavi_fan
Hide, we're mourning Hide! Lead singer of a j-rock band called X-Japan who managed to start some sort of revolution. Was strangled to death whilst drunk :(
1:51 pm
mab
You're so up to date, Torgone! You even understand Zimbabwean slang. Wow.
1:52 pm
Miyavi_fan
Though I don't know why today is a mourning day, since he died a few years ago. But they're thinking of closing the memorial museum that they opened for him, so today seems as good a day as any.
1:52 pm
Invader_Jodie
Ahhhh..... you and your japanease people Cathy. Ill just sit here and nod and pretend i understand, like hayley does to me on so many occasions during my random rants.
*feels like saying "uuuhhh... We have chilli beans"* I best not say what my absent brain is thinking
o_0 zimbabaween slang? Never heard of it *gives evil glare in cathys direction*
1:52 pm
mab
That's terrible. My condolences.
1:54 pm
Miyavi_fan
Thanks Mabs :) He died too young...and Jodes, if you feel like saying something, go ahead and say it. There are days when I feel like saying "hahahPIEPIEPIE" and I do. So what's the problem?! ^_^
1:55 pm
mab
Oh. Sorry Jodie, I thought that's what Zim meant. Well, off to plumb.
1:55 pm

errm...but if i was to say what i want to say id get evil looks from you, because its always about zim. And you dont like me going on about zim since its always random crazy.

Cheesecakes are like cotton candy, far too light and insubstantial for all those calories.....
6:18 pm
PAV3
Mine is actually one of my pics of the duck pond at my alma mater - loved that place - not the studying, just the locale

6:45 pm
Babbler
careful, Pask!
6:46 pm
Jacula
'frumpily' is a real adverb. However, if you had made a word up there'd be nothing wrong in that. How else does English become such a rich and varied language?
6:46 pm
Babbler
de4/7, anagram of your first de4/7
mi4/7 - lots of centres
6:46 pm
Blaze
deutsh thank you for the pick up.... I am usually falling over with laughter...roflol

I've still got my computer from the 70's.....
7:18 pm
Jacula
Oh dear, Karys. I'm showing my age now! I wrote one of the first 'Idiots' Guides to computing.
7:19 pm
Karys
yes...you definately are Jac !!!!
7:19 pm
Jacula
Jack - that'll be your calculator the size of a brieze block?
7:20 pm
Deutsch
I took physics with my trusty slide rule. Calculators were too big and expensive back then.
7:20 pm
Karys
'puter the size of a shed ???
7:20 pm
Jacula
But, Karys, according to your profile you're 11 years older than me?? LOL.
7:20 pm
pask
well done Karys sorry was away for a min.
Snowyowl will have to look at that one thanks
7:21 pm
brandyjack
No, it's an old Ohio Scientific Superboard C1P, 6502 @ 1mhz, whopping 2000 bytes of SRAM, 300baud tape drive, 20x32 character graphic display.
7:21 pm
Karys
Methusula me !!!
7:22 pm
Jacula
LOL Jack & Karys.
7:22 pm
Babbler
2000 bytes of SRAM? What did that hold? A recipe?
7:22 pm
torgone
All this talk of old-timey computers is making me nostalgic *sniff* When I was in high school, we got one of the first HP desktop comps. About the size of two full size comps, and not quite as smart as a current graphing calculator.
7:23 pm
Jacula
Deutsch - I still have my logarithms book from school (in fact, it's the one my Dad used when he was at school). I've never yet worked out how 'logs' help in life??
7:24 pm
brandyjack
We had flight simulators and alien shoot-em ups in 2000 bytes of SRAM.
7:24 pm
Deutsch
torgon, your school was mighty progressive. I learned to type on manual typewriters. The school had only two electric ones.
7:24 pm
Jacula
Anyone remember the 'DOS' days? Gawd, it was slow to do everything. Today's computing was but a dream.
7:25 pm
Babbler
I have no idea what 2000 bytes of SRAM means, Jack! lol !
I was just being cheeky again! : D
7:25 pm
Deutsch
logs do not and will never have the answers to the deep questions, jacula lol
7:26 pm

dos, that wasn't that long ago, was it?
seems like only yesterday...
7:27 pm
Karys
Jac !!...how do you look at profiles ?
7:27 pm
Jacula
We had some good games on our old Amiga (or was it Amstrad?) back in the 80s. I still miss playing 'Out To Lunch'! Daughter's boyfr found me a copy and an emulator but it's so tiny it's no fun to play. Those mushrooms and potatoes were b*ggers to get into the cage. LOL.
7:27 pm
Babbler
click on the handbag, Karys!
7:29 pm
torgone
Deutsch - It was fairly progressive. We started on an IBM teletype timesharing terminal hooked up to a computer somewhere. Must have been just before Al Gore invented the internet.
7:29 pm
Deutsch
Thank you Al Gore. He sure was busy back in the day ;-)
7:30 pm

oohhh...that's a handbag !!!!

Any hints for the mi5/24? I'm drawing a blank...
7:31 pm
Babbler
night, Deutsch !! have a good evening !
7:32 pm
brandyjack
You don't know what 2000 bytes of SRAM means? Your current computer likely has 256,000,000 bytes of DDRAM, and some of us have 2,000,000,000 bytes of DD2RAM.... My video card has 128,000,000 bytes of RAM.
7:32 pm
Babbler
mi5/24 -- informal for midshipman
7:33 pm

Toodles, deutsch!

artlady...extend the centre
7:33 pm
brandyjack
That is NOT a handbag. it's one of those little characters from the great Danish Lego game.......
7:33 pm
artlady
Thanks, babbler...that was a duh! moment (actually a whole bunch of them...sigh)
7:35 pm
Jacula
Or a crystal ball, as I once saw another Babbler say.
Personally, I was here when those signs first went up and I thought they were handbags. LOL.
Incidentally, very occasionally, I've seen someone with a grey 'handbag' - does that mean their gender or sexuality is in doubt or unknown??
7:35 pm
Babbler
or could be Bod

7:35 pm
Doogle
Remember having to use edlin???
7:36 pm
brandyjack
still use it...... And DOS. My stat generator is written in GWBasic.......
7:37 pm
Jacula
MS-DOS to edit files? Don't have to use that now, thank God!
7:37 pm
Karys
ok ..you lot....has to be bedtime....ni nite !!!
7:37 pm
brandyjack
Doogle and I were the first two to get our icons. Think he was first..... As for the grey character, it means they haven't updated their profile yet.
7:37 pm
Babbler
nite Karys !!!!!!
7:38 pm
Jacula
Night Karys. Sweet dreams.
7:38 pm
Jacula
Dont dream a Babblegrid!
7:38 pm
Doogle
Well, using DOS to edit files is one thing. Works just as well as it ever did, which is quite well. But Edlin, where you can only edit one line at a time and can't even see the whole file? Fneh!
7:38 pm
torgone
'Nite Karys..
7:39 pm
Karys
nite Babbler..see you tomorrow ..hopefully !
7:39 pm

I'm hitting the hay now too. Goodnight all !!

nite Karys...
7:40 pm
Doogle
You can actually choose to not have a gender. In the gender drop-down box, there is a blank area right above the 2 standard choices that, if selected, causes you to be genderless.
Now if Doc God could just make things easier for us hermaphrodites!
Brandyjack - the first icon was yours!
7:40 pm

Was actually SCO UNIX back then, but messing with RedHat Linux Fedora Core 3 lately to set up some IP phone emulators and snoopers.
7:43 pm
pask
didnt realize it had worked thanks
7:44 pm
Doogle
Eva - I'm not sure where to guide you, as I don't see which of the three words relates to frequency. Do you have an O4 and an O5 or two O4s?
7:44 pm
Eva
Thanks brandyjack! Can't believe I never saw that one.
7:45 pm
Jacula
Failing Jack's clue, think of the would-be mayor of London's mother (in the pantomime) seeing her son go off imagining the city's street were paved with gold. She might have exclaimed, 'Oh Di**!' (That's the clean version of this clue.) Take out the 'h' and the 11th letter of the alphabet. Voila!
7:47 pm
Jacula
Set up IP phone emulators and snoopers??? Don't like the sound of that, Jack!
7:48 pm
snowyowl
Well goodnight all. Happy babbling. Thank you all for your help and your company. Spare a thought for CATHB who is on a course with my extremely crazy son in law and has no computershe is allowed to babble on.on
7:49 pm
Jacula
Night Snowy. Sending out nice thoughts to CATHB.
7:50 pm
brandyjack
The emulators are setup to emulate 1000 phones to beat the stuffings out of a system. The snooper is to demonstrate why you want encryption on the datastream.....
7:50 pm
Jacula
Doogle - of5/16 - more often. Chaucer coined the word.
7:50 pm
Jacula
Ah! Got you now Jack. Was a bit worried there for a moment.:-/
7:52 pm

Thanks, Jac. Got it now. Wasn't seeing the word that way.
7:53 pm

Blimey! That sounded like a 'cult' message, didn't it? LOL.

Morning All - I need a bit of help - looking for the second Di6. I have the diaper one. Any clues?
8:32 pm

Dianne...follows your di4 6...same format as the first di6...subst one vowel
8:33 pm
Jacula
Still here on and off if anyone wants clues...

8:36 pm

Jacula...posted the recipe....Jack's already got the one in as well
AM off to get home, then I'll check back in for any help I can give...thanks Jacula
8:37 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Oh... more men on now! :) Nice...
8:38 pm
Eva
Thanks Doogle and PAV for the s - got it now. But could use some more help on the in5.....have been round and round and round and round and must have missed the right combo.
8:40 pm
Doogle
Eva - it's an alternate spelling of a common en5.
8:41 pm
robert240
help with me5 and de5? i have the de5 that means very thick
8:41 pm
Jacula
de5 - what you might do to your car on a fosty morning.
8:42 pm
Jacula
or even a *frosty morning!
8:42 pm
Doogle
There are 3 Me5 words. Need 'em all?
8:42 pm
Eva
Sorry doogle, but I think I'm flatlining. Call in the paddles and clear the gurney!
8:42 pm
Jacula
Which me5??
8:42 pm
robert240
got the de, thanks!
8:43 pm
robert240
oops! have the me5's
8:43 pm
Jacula
me5/20 - 1. A member of a military medical corps.
2. A physician or surgeon.
3. A medical student or intern.
8:44 pm
Doogle
Man down! Call a me5! He might live in your palatial me5. But the habitat is moist, 'cause he's me5.
8:44 pm
robert240
have 3 of em. the doc, the one that sounds like the doc, and the plural of the mispelt drink
8:44 pm
Jacula
me5 - # A fitting recompense.
# Archaic. A merited gift or wage.
Plural of your me 4/7
8:45 pm
robert240
its the palace i need
8:46 pm
roseymay19
can any offer any clues for SO 5/16, ME 4/9, MI 6/30
8:46 pm
Jacula
me5 - Of, characterized by, or adapted to a moderately moist habitat. The Sound Of M****. But change the first vowel.
8:47 pm
Jacula
me5 - profits of premises during the time the owner has been wrongfully kept out of the possession of his estate. --Burrill.
8:47 pm
ToeSockMonkey
Thank you Jacula! =o)
8:47 pm
Doogle
Yeah, and palace made no sense. I was making an errant assumption. Jacula's 8:47 clue is the one you want to follow up on.
8:48 pm
Jacula
so5/16 - you might yell, 'SOD IT!' if you don't get this word, though maybe not quite ending like that.
8:48 pm
Jacula
me4/9 - what your cat might say.
8:48 pm
robert240
i am a lawyer, i should ahve known that one! ty jacula
8:49 pm
Jacula
mi6/30 - did things wrong!
8:50 pm
Doogle
I've actually trained my cat to say "Oops! Your word doesn't exist in the puzzle" instead. I've gotten so used to it.
8:51 pm
Eva
The legal recompense is the one I'm missing, but I have no idea what it might be, and a quick search through legal terms on the web dint find it for me.
8:51 pm
Jacula
Dooglle - you're fibbing! Cat's can't talk! Mind you, the looks they can direct your way say a lot, as does their body language.
8:51 pm
robert240
od4 thats not the plural of strange??
8:52 pm
Jacula
Eva - Imagine a Scotsman saying there isn't a mess. Take out an 'n' and take out the 'a' from his negative.
8:52 pm
Doogle
Eva - the word you're after is an anagram of a common ejaculate material (sorry, it's the only anagram I can think of...).
8:53 pm
Dianne
PAV - it's hoepless - I can't find that second Di6 no matter what. Does it rhyme with something? Any other clues?
8:53 pm
Jacula
LOL Doogle. I hadn't thought of that!
8:55 pm
Jacula
Di - if you did something someone asked you to to, they might say, whilst you were in the act of doing it, 'Di does what I asked.'
8:55 pm
Doogle
Both Di6 words are plurals of ones you've probably already got. One of them is the plural of one of the characters from Henry Purcell's "Di4 and Aeneas."
8:56 pm
roseymay19
thanks jacula.
8:56 pm
Jacula
Failing you getting that clue, if you had more than ne dog called Fido, it would be FI****.
8:57 pm
Jacula
Roseymay - which clue were the thanks for?
8:58 pm
Dianne
Jac and Doogle - you guys are the best. Thanks. Now what about the second Me4 I have the one meaning reward. Any clues?
8:58 pm
pask
Jacula!!!
that was so good how you gave that clue. LOL
8:59 pm
Jacula
No Robert. It's more of a betting thing. 'Evens or Od**'.
8:59 pm
Eva
So what does it say for me that the ejaculation clue was the only one I got? Oh mispent life. Now if I'd been a lawyer.....

di6/24

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

9:04 pm
Jacula
Mab - like I said before, imagine someone telling a crowd of female rabbits to perish. They might yell, 'Di****!'
9:05 pm
Doogle
That's the one she already has, Jacula.
Dianne - "of or relating to sodium"
9:06 pm
Dianne
Mab - look at Jac's 8:55 post to me. It's a great clue.
9:06 pm
Jacula
Bottom 's', straight up, go right, then down to the right.
9:08 pm
mab
Thanks Jacula and Doogle. Am processing.
9:08 pm
Jacula

Jac, Darling - you're not reading! That's the one Dianne said she already has!
9:08 pm

Congrats, tap!

9:11 pm

9:11 pm
Jacula
Doogle - I gave her directions to the 'of or relating to sodium one' .(Dianne, that is.)
9:11 pm
Jacula
Morning (here) Evanadine. How's you?
9:12 pm
Doogle
Sorry, Jac. Your "directions" directions kind of looked like they could apply to either word.

EvaNadine
anyone know why its not changing?
9:45 pm
torgone
mab - It's an indie film that, though maybe not a great movie, has spawned a cult following.
9:46 pm
mab
Did you try refreshing, evanadine?
9:46 pm
torgone
Changed for me, evanadine. Very Halloweenish. Try clearing your browser cache.
9:47 pm
pask
torgone!!

9:48 pm
mab
Oh yes! I remember a friend mentioning it to me as a must-see. It's not another boy-loses-innocence film is it?
9:48 pm
EvaNadine
how do i do that, torgone?
9:51 pm
torgone
mab - not really. Mostly a bunch of offbeat characters with a lot of funny lines ( I think almost every line of dialog is on a t-shirt somewhere), and then boy makes a couple friends.
9:51 pm
torgone
evanadine - Are you using IE?
9:54 pm
torgone
pask!! Got it! Thankypoos!
9:54 pm
EvaNadine
nevermind, i got it...thanks torgonne.
:D
9:56 pm
Jacula
Clear your caches on both IE and Firefox, Evanadine and also do a disk clean-up, ticking all boxes. Then run Spybot. After that, if you haven't done it in a while, defrag your computer. But, for now, try pressing F5 and see if that works.
9:58 pm
Jacula
After that, do all the earlier things at least twice daily, do the spybot twice a week at least, and defrag at leat once a month.
9:58 pm
EvaNadine
jacula inspired me to get festive with my icon.
;)
as for now, this lady is going to bed!
gnite all!
(or good morning, as the case may be for most of you...heh)
9:58 pm
torgone
Defrag? Got a week? ;)
9:59 pm
Jacula
Torgone - shame on you if it's going to take you a week to defrag! Gosh!
10:00 pm
torgone
Sweet dreams, evanadine..
10:00 pm
Jacula
Festive? Did I, Evanadine??
Night to you anyway.x
10:01 pm
EvaNadine
gnite all.
see ya in a few hours...hehe
10:01 pm
torgone
I know..... I should defrag more often....
*hangs head, kicks dirt*
10:04 pm
torgone
Down to 2 words: to4's
I have: 4/5, 4/8, 4/4.
Pwetty pweeeeeez!!!
10:05 pm
cathy22w
torgone... you need a to4/7, and a te4/6
10:05 pm
mab
And floss. How about flossing? Do you floss? Daily? Huh? Do you? Floss?
I'm finished if you need anything.
10:07 pm
Jacula
Mab - Torgone is shamed enough re the health of his computer. I really think we should refrain from asking him about his personal hygiene.:-/)
10:07 pm
cathy22w
ah... but maybe she was asking if he flossed his keyboard?
10:09 pm
Hugabugs
Hi Everyone!
Tor - You need a to4/10
10:09 pm
mab
I think we should just get it all right out in the open. It's therapetic. Not therapeutic, therapetic.
10:09 pm
Jacula
to4/7 - 1. A homestead.
2. A hillock.
Otherwise, imagine laying your head upon a so** and yielding female breast to watch TV. Then change the first letter to the next letter.
10:09 pm
torgone
I do floss - my teeth and my keyboard.
I have the te. I need 2 to4's.
10:09 pm
Jacula
THERAPEUTIC
10:10 pm
mab
Oh Jacula. Hes going to get stuck on he word 'breast.'
10:10 pm
Hugabugs
to4/10 - drag that car and throw a question at the end of it.
10:11 pm
Jacula
Yea, Mab. roflol
10:12 pm
mab
Just monkey type them Torgy, they're only four letters long.
Hi Hugabugs.
10:12 pm
Hugabugs
Hi Mab!
10:13 pm
torgone
Did somebody say something???
I lost my focus about halfway through Jac's post! =P
10:13 pm
Jacula
I've been to TOWYn in Wales for a holiday visit before now.
10:14 pm
Hugabugs
Wipe that smirk off Tor.... ;o)
10:15 pm
Jacula
Torgone! Get off that nice soft breast and the heartbeat beneath if that sends you to sleep (which is what happened to my SO earlier) and get looking for words! ROFLOLPMP.
10:15 pm
cathy22w

That's right, Jacula. Torgone! Shake it off! Get ahold of yourself man (no, not literally)!

tonyv
does anyone have a clue for wi6/33? thank you
11:25 pm
Dianne
Wi6 - if you have the Wi5/26 just change the ending to the 2 letter combo that sounds the same.
11:29 pm
Jacula
yw4/10. Sounds like more than one NZ bird (think shoe polish).
11:31 pm
Dianne
Got to run now - see you all later.
11:31 pm
tonyv
thank you dianne
11:34 pm
Jacula
27 mins to go to new grid now. Surely no one else needs stats? You'll have to be bally quick if you do!

Jacula
Once the sun starts coming up I will have to retire. LOL.
11:38 pm

Do 5/12, 7/48, 5/12
En 7/48, 7/44

Any help would be greatly appreciated
11:42 pm
roseymay19
i need en7/44 too
11:42 pm
Hugabugs
tony
to6/27 - what Ivy League students would call the kids from the area, but drop the n.
to5/16 - is to6/27 after dropping the last letter.
11:42 pm
Jacula
TO5/126 & 6/27 - people who live in towns are often referred to as townies by country folks. Take out a consonant for both the plural and the singular.
11:44 pm
tonyv
Thank you!
11:44 pm
roseymay19
any do7/48 clues
11:44 pm
Jacula
en7/44 - intelligent at the end. Like an owl coming to the END of its WISEness.
11:45 pm
roseymay19
hahaah, thanx jac
11:45 pm
Hugabugs
di4/6 - 7Up used to use him in commercials - Fido Di/46
the di5 and di6 are plural variations of the same
11:46 pm
Jacula
do7/48 - lots of frumpy people. Boy George's surname is O'Dowd. Think of that and then take away a bit from start and add 3rd vowel, 2nd vowel and pluralizing letter to end.
11:48 pm
Jacula
Hugabugs - di4/6 is a SHE!
11:50 pm
roseymay19
got it thanx again
11:53 pm
Hugabugs
Jac - In the pics in Google it sure looks like a HE
11:54 pm
Jacula

11:57 pm
Hugabugs
Jac - Are you referring to the 7Up Icon? Cause if you are, it is definitely referred to as a HE in all the articles.
11:57 pm
Jacula
MISs DID wrong!
11:59 pm
Jacula
Hugs - not seen 7-up icon. Only thinking of once Carthagian queen (pinched from Greek goddesses) and the singer - all of whom are female.
11:59 pm
roseymay19
thanx jac. i was stuck with 7 words for the longest time
11:59 pm
Hugabugs
