12:44 am

Griffums

I must be tired, I got an error message that I thought read "Oops! That wasn't even a word." Oh yeah? Well...well...well SEZ U!

12:45 am

Blaze

griffummss at least it could dance or play a song...LOL

12:47 am

Griffums

'Zackly. "Oops! You're really bad at this game, tra laa la!" or start some chest-beat-thump thing "Your name is Griffums and you really suck / You best quit now 'cuz you got no luck.." unh, unh-hunh...

12:48 am

Blaze

or "keep on monkey typing" to a nice cheer leading song...LOl

12:49 am

Griffums

Yeah! To the tune of Kung Fu Fighting... "Everybody was monnnn-key typ-iiiiiing, those fingers fast as light'niiiing..." Okay I'll quit

12:50 am

GothicAngelMT

Yay, finished with the a's.

12:50 am

Blaze

Griff I just checked your profile... what is life like up there in Alaska...??

12:51 am

jenwould

Griffums, love the song thing... in fact I really think you should give those ideas to Dr. God... the tra la la is the best. Though I am quite fond of Kung foo fighting growing up in the 70s and all...

12:52 am

Mirage

I have a mechanical hamster that sings Kung Fu Fighting while whirling a pair of plastic nunchucks :)

12:53 am

Griffums

That's a question that would take a long time to answer, but it's home. It's small-town in a vast vast space. It's an incredible mix of cultures from all around the world as well as indigenous peoples. I could go on and on, but will leave you with this popular adage that's also very true, relating to the men vs. women thing: in Alaska, the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

12:54 am

Griffums

Wow. I have a serious case of hamster envy now.

12:55 am

GothicAngelMT

Griffums... "goods are odd.." love it!

12:55 am

Blaze

that was a very good answer..... the furtherest I have been North is Peace River Alberta.....I loved the northern lites, long summer days and even the long winter nites... I left the winter it was -55 C plus a wind chill factor.... glad to be in Vancouver BC now....LOL

12:59 am

Griffums

GothicAngel - and it's funny because it's really true. We have a town that auctions off its bachelors. Alaska is wonderful but it's also the next to last stop on the wacky bus.

12:59 am

missterc

What part of AK are you from griffums?

1:01 am

Griffums

I've always lived in southcentral, in the Matanuska Valley area north of Anchorage. Grew up in eastern PA and spent a year back there recently helping family. So glad to be back home here, though really enjoyed the drive across the continent and back. Since I got back home last fall I've lived in Anchorage proper, which I never have in the 25 years I've been here. It isn't Alaska but you can get there from here, and I'm coping.

1:03 am

missterc

Use to live up there myself. Lived in Willow for awhile.

1:04 am

Griffums

My ex lives up there. Can't get a better Denali view. I've lived in Palmer/Sutton/Butte mostly.

1:05 am

missterc

Lived as far south as Kodiak and as far north as Nome. Actual got above the Artic Circle when I flew to Nome.

1:06 am

missterc

By the way yes I know where Houston, AK is.

1:07 am

Honey

Hi ya' all

1:08 am

Griffums

When I worked for the University, I got the opportunity to work at Prudhoe/Deadhorse doing fieldwork in the oilpatch. Did that for 11 years, flying up during the summers and every six weeks in the winter. Brrr. I have been out in -70F in pitch dark, trying to change little computer chips in temperature datapods while my companion flashlight-scanned for polar bears. I Really Do Not Miss That Part. But summers were great up there.

1:10 am

Griffums

(sorry so talky everybody, fun to answer questions but I can wax loquacious)

1:10 am

Blaze

griff interesting stuff.... would love to see you post some pics on the bab anon site.... of Alaska....

1:12 am

Griffums

When I figure out that babanon stuff, I'll do that. I put some of it on my blog <planetpeg.blogspot.com> from time to time, but unfortunately you have to dig through the rest of my life's inane musings to find it. (trust me, it's not really worth it)

1:18 am

Honey

ey guys, how many words do we rake for this puzzle?

1:19 am

Blaze

2:01 am

Blaze

2:03 am

Babbler

lol!! oh don't, I've been very good and had a cheese toasted sandwich....... but the choccie biccies are calling me!! Please help me not to listen!! :D

2:03 am

jenwould

Hey Blaze, just curious...how long have you been a babbler? Are you good at crosswords also?

2:04 am

jenwould

btw, all this talk of chocolate ...I gave up the grapes for some chocolate pop tarts.. thanks everyone

2:06 am

Blaze

Jen since begin of August when the beta babble was being tested.... I had to look that up by the way. the more words you are exposed to the more you will find and their variances.... or words like crwth--- (really)

2:09 am

jenwould

cool word Blaze.I'll have to try to retain that for later.

2:09 am

Blaze

Jen oldwife is a good one too..... really --- it is a fish

2:11 am

jenwould

I remember oldwife from a few days ago :-) loved all the clues that were given for it.

2:11 am

baggo

you know it would just figure...can't sleep and come down to play and what do i see first...FISH.. should i just head back upstairs and count sheep???

2:11 am

Blaze

a lot of times its the clues that make the word... and make it memorable.

2:12 am

Blaze

baggo you know the babble will get you first... haven't seen much for fish in this one....LOL

2:12 am

baggo

i know...how goes things blaze???

2:14 am

Blaze

good mostly.... my girl was in a downward spin but seems to have leveled out.... she has emotional challenges..

2:14 am

jenwould

baggo, it's a sign!!! You must give up the fight ...against the babble. Crazy icon you have. It looks like a dude with antlers , a snout and very very bad varicosis... am I close?

2:16 am

baggo

jen...it's abstract art, so it can be whatever you want it to be...great pictures... go to google, click on the images and put in cosmic...bout 3'd row down, the girl (artist) has some great works...

2:18 am

baggo

blaze i think it's awesome what you are doing, and the fact that you speak and help others out doing the same that you are!!!! our son, who has visual trouble, also has some calcifications in his brain, and he's 12 and just starting some odd behaviors, both good and bad so we will see...but again, bless you for what you are doing!

2:18 am

jenwould

baggo, what made you choose it? What did it look like to you?

2:20 am

Blaze

baggo thank you.... I am but a walnut.... with a mustard seed to hold onto.... I just keep praying that she will get the assistance that she needs before she destorys herself.... we do think that we have the right counsellor at this point.

2:20 am

baggo

jen, its called dark something or other, but if you look at the big one, it's a mathematical abstract, and to me i can see a girl in there working on math, and lotti was on that day and she's havin a go with math...and i thought of her...

2:21 am

Blaze

where is our brit gang today ????

2:22 am

baggo

blaze, i cannot tell you how that walnut and mustard seed helped me down south, cause boy it was some of the roughest things i have ever gone through both mentally from what they said and what i did. i prayed each night and thanked God for your note that night and for you for giving it to me...so good things will head your way...you were my angel and now good will come to you...kinda like pay it forward...good things do come to good people..

2:22 am

macadam

2:31 am

macadam

2:31 am

baggo

2:31 am

jenwould

Hey Blaze what is champers? Champagne? Champers happens to be my cat's name. Well actually, Chandler Bing (yes around the time the show friends began) then my roommate wanted him to be a her and he became champerANN or champers for short. Yes so back to the point...was it champagne? I could use a nice fruiti champagne to wash down my chocolate pop tart

2:32 am

baggo

i got it cos of lotti...it's a mathematical abstract, and if you look at the big one you i see a girl with these angles, etc around here, and it made me think of her with her math troubles...

2:33 am

jenwould

does playing babble cause babbling? so sorry for my babbling...back to the crazy re list...

2:34 am

Blaze

I do believe it is...... nick name or brand name I do not know.... LOL

2:34 am

Babbler

I'll have to have a look at that range of pics. The colours and design are gorgeous!

jenwould - yes, champers in champagne. I think it's British slang. (but not anymore, now we've introduced the term to the whole wide world!! LOL!!)

2:34 am

baggo

can't a party be canceled and you do it another day, so couldn't one be said to be "rehosting" the party or to "rehost" it?? babble takes others why not this???

2:36 am

baggo

http://www.karinkuhlmann.de/in dex.html (hopefully there won't be any spaces when i post this)

2:39 am

baggo

gosh i need to go to bed, i'm a posting fool, anj will kill me when he reads all this "babble"..lol anyway, i believe champers is a brand name..across the pond...

2:39 am

Jera

Blaze

Stunning paintings anyway!!

2:50 am

Babbler

I'll second that, Blaze!! The fractals.... woweee!

2:50 am

2:50 am

lottijw

Awww bless Baggo. I just scrolled down and read it...Fab icon it is too!
I`m a bit better mum, but still have that mild constant ache. I was wondering whether to take the kids to Hotch Potch. Do you fancy it?

2:51 am

Blaze

45 words to go.... getting the smarties our now... fuel for babblers....

2:52 am

macadam

Fine by me.

2:52 am

jenwould

hey Blaze are both re 6/18 s plural? I have a plural of an re already...means lasso? Can't seem to get the other re's to pluralize...

2:52 am

baggo

you're so welcome lotti...just thought of you, and it sends great vibes your way everyday!! babbler and blaze did you see the body and soul one??

2:53 am

macadam

I have an es plural on re4/4

Blaze

2:54 am

jenwould

macadam and blaze ...many thanks to you both!

2:55 am

Babbler

that's the only one I wasn't sure about. Looked like womb at first glance. It is definitely one of the most memorable ones as, if you keep looking, you start to see other things. Lots of different faces, for example. What did you make of it?

2:56 am

Blaze

is that in the fractals or where ??

2:56 am

lottijw

Ithought they may be able to "make" skops Christmas prezzi !!

2:57 am

Babbler

Blaze, it's in photopaintings..

2:58 am

macadam

Quite a thought!!!

2:58 am

baggo

can kinda be a little on the erotic side...then i stared just seeing all kinds of stuff in there...they many sides to people...the cat at the bottom totally threw me, not sure what to make of that...

2:58 am

Blaze

I love the butterfly..... but other seems to have the face of an ewok

2:59 am

baggo

what's with the squirrel at the top???

2:59 am

Babbler

I know, I saw a cat with an open head so you could see inside...... eeuuww!! : ) But that's the mark of a good work of art - it's got us talking and it grabbed our attention!!

3:00 am

baggo

well if you ever look at an anatomy book, it's like there is so much midline stuff there...art is truly amazing...her site is truly amazing...

3:01 am

Blaze

that le 4/7 is a bear of a word

3:03 am

Babbler

I don't get the stooges part, so I don't know.

3:48 am

Jera

Thanks, thought I'd found my 100th word... will stop looking for two...

3:49 am

Jera

I hate teh stooges, but I got that clue rather than noodling the alt spelling of the coin... go fig

3:49 am

sprite

Woohoo! Found one 7!

3:50 am

Babbler

wtg sprite!!! which one? got a clue for me? :)

3:52 am

sprite

A7/28: small spaces or interstices in a tissue or part, such as the area bounded by small veins in a leaf or the wing of an insect. Also the setoffs of nipples.

3:52 am

Babbler

oooh, I just found the t7!!!

3:53 am

sprite

Jippee! Care to share a clue for that one?

3:55 am

Babbler

no def, but looks like a composite.......

3:58 am

Jera

If thends of your feet were cars, they would drive in these...

3:58 am

Babbler

..... LOOKS like a composite
(don't think it is!!)

:)

3:58 am

Griffums

re: that composite... If you're driving down the street and there's just one path for you and just one path for the guy coming from the other direction, then you're on a road that has t-- -----.

3:58 am

sprite

Lol, I really have no idea which way to look for that one!

3:59 am

Griffums

(I meant to say that 'sounds like')

And I'm going to bed!

4:01 am

sprite

That worked for me! Thanks guys :)
I think the def is something like 'related to crystalline, water-insoluble, solid, unsaturated compound', plural.

4:01 am

dalmatian5

Griffums - What an absolutely brillant clue!

4:04 am

Hugabugs

Griffums - thanks for the wonderful clue.

4:15 am

Alleyn

Morning! Half Term and granted myself an hour plus .. how hard is it today?

4:16 am

zoom

hi alleyn, happy half term:)

4:16 am

sprite

Hi Alleyn. Big grid, but tight as well. At least I think so.
And why do I always, always forget that vowely T4/4?

4:22 am

zoom

well that's me done for now, the joys of half term when kids are fighting you for the computer- aaagh!!

4:28 am

sprite

206 words / 4.54 / 2041 points.
The statpanel was a big help with this one. I used it to see from which letter to start words, which I normally don't. Tough grid!

4:29 am

Babbler

bravo sprite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! well done!

4:31 am

rosalind230

well done sprite

4:31 am

Hugabugs

Congrats Sprite! I'm having mucho problemo with this one today.... Even those 6-letter ones are far and few between.

4:33 am

KJS

Okay, I've got a stat sheet that says there are to be 5 HA 5's and 4 HA 6's. I have been searching desperately for over an hour and i have found 4 ha 5's and 3 ha 6's.

I've got the HA 5's that refer to:
1) compels to go
2) circle of colored light
3) medieval trade assoc.
4) group of women/wives

and the HA 6's:
1) cirlces of light (alt spelling)
2) 1st money taken in trade
3) Quarters for wives
Does anyone know what I am missing?!!!!!!

4:35 am

Hugabugs

KJS - I can tell you right off that you are missing the Hawaiin term used for white person and it's plural.

4:35 am

SunnFlower

morning all, ha5, ha6, white person in Hawaii is called this

4:36 am

SunnFlower

hi hugs, great minds again

4:37 am

Hugabugs

Hi ferrari - we are so in synch! :o)

4:37 am

KJS

Thanks! Done! ACK! Those never show up in a2z! And yes, I did get a little help there tonight for this one! :P (as if I don't get help there most grids!)

4:38 am

Babbler

I always forget those ha5 and ha6 words!! :)

4:39 am

SunnFlower

they got me twice in August, I'll never forget them again

4:41 am

Hugabugs

Yep... they got me in August as well when I first started, now I'll never forget them as well.

4:42 am

Babbler

they got me twice ib august and I must have been really traumatised by the experience cos I've clean forgotten! lol! :)

4:45 am

SunnFlower

All we'll need to say in future is "that word", mind you there's a few of the usual suspects today, ie those st words and the little t and n that sound the same

4:48 am

Hugabugs

yeah, there's a few of them that stick out now. I'm amazed at how many of those 4- and 5-letter strange ones that I'm remembering now.

4:49 am

sprite

I am always so relieved to see I am not the only one who has trouble with 'these words' :D

4:50 am

Babbler

the st words - do you mean the greek covered walk?
the little n and t words - I'm looking for my last n, I bet it's one of them!! Not sure if I've found them before!
: )

4:50 am

Alleyn

56 in half an hour starting with the ws. All you experienced folk is that the best way to begin ...........?

4:51 am

zubie

187 and progressing slowly.

4:51 am

sprite

Alleyn, I think everyone has his/her own favorite approach and they all work ;)

4:52 am

Babbler

zubie, you're doing good!

*cup of coffee for zubie*

4:53 am

sprite

Wow zubie, you are close!
Yes, the little n, the little t, that nasty st and those littles o-words. Also 'anoa', which isn't in this grid.

4:53 am

SunnFlower

Them's em babbler, the na4/4, ta4/4, think little red Chinese book

4:53 am

sprite

I hate the little to.

4:54 am

Babbler

thx ferrari!! shan't forget them in a hurry!

what's the little to?

4:55 am

Babbler

... don't tell me, the unit of weight??

4:55 am

SunnFlower

to4/4, currency, all vowels

4:55 am

zubie

Coffee! Thanks, Babbler!

4:56 am

sprite

Yup, that's the one. It's in many a grid, and not even once did I NOT to have go hunt for it.

4:57 am

Jera

I need last ar5... I have spaces & stage

4:57 am

Hugabugs

One simple everyday word that always eludes me is taco for some reason.

4:58 am

rosalind230

used for fighting

4:59 am

sprite

You need the buddhist Ar5/16.
"One who has attained enlightenment"
But if you don't know the word, think of what some people wear on their head.

4:59 am

Atalante

I hate etui. I even know I have to look for it, and still miss it!

5:00 am

sprite

Etui works for me. Etwee doesn't. Now how is that for being stupid ;)

5:01 am

Atalante

And I always think etwee is atwee and get annoyed when its not accepted

5:01 am

Atalante

and psis. silly word.

5:01 am

Jera

Yay, thanks! Done with A's & taking a nap... see ya later!

5:02 am

sprite

In dutch, 'twee' = two. Since I blind myself for dutch words, I just don't see the etwee (and plural) even if it jumps right into my face, lol.

5:02 am

Babbler

see you later, jera :)

5:02 am

SunnFlower

and emfs and pfui

5:02 am

Babbler

I hate emfs..

5:03 am

sprite

Oh yes, emfs. Dreadful one too. And what did we have recently

5:03 am

Hugabugs

Argh... I had 1 t4 left to find... and it must have been the easiest of them all... the number
sheesh!

5:03 am

sprite

Posting all of itself???
recently, that cwns or something?

5:04 am

Hugabugs

cwrth wasn't it?

5:04 am

Babbler

crwth ???

5:04 am

Hugabugs

and our beloved ywis!

5:04 am

SunnFlower

the ywis play to the crwth with a crwth!

5:05 am

sprite

I looked it up: cwms. Can't even remember the right letters!

5:05 am

zubie

Ha! It's the ha's now! ;D

5:06 am

SunnFlower

don't remember the cwms, what on earth are they?

5:07 am

sprite

Undoubtely scots, and they are cirques.

5:08 am

Babbler

crwth was welsh for crowd, wasn't it (????)

5:09 am

sprite

Nice webpage: http://cres1.lancs.ac.uk/~esar ie/tarboard/messages/16978.htm
(leave out the spaces babble puts in here as protection against too long entries )

5:09 am

SunnFlower

crowd and a musical instrument, hard to think it's got 1 definition, let alone 2!

5:11 am

sprite

Before I log out, any clues needed?

5:12 am

SunnFlower

The so6 would be nice sprite

5:12 am

Hugabugs

Just my last 46 words would be fine Sprite! *wink*

5:14 am

Alleyn

Finding this tricky! Too many letters adjacent to one another - most confusing

5:17 am

sprite

So6/18: plural for gannet, any of several large sea birds of the genus Morus, especially M. bassanus of northern Atlantic coastal regions, having white plumage with black wingtips.

46 Hugs? Just name them :)

5:18 am

sprite

Or, for the So6, take the ending of EL4/5 combo.

5:22 am

SunnFlower

Thanks a lot spike, could have sworn, frequently do, had the singular.100 lines for me, or possibly a good thrashing

5:23 am

zubie

205 now

I've no idea what i'm missing

5:23 am

Babbler

check your list against babblers anonymous, Zubie. But have a break and a cup of tea first!! :D

5:26 am

sprite

LOL @ spike :)
Yeah, I know, happens to me all the time. I always check my list in the last stage, to see what plurals, singulars and verb forms I have left out.

Zubie, if you check against the stat list and find out which letter it starts with, I can give you a clue.

5:26 am

zubie

First coffee, then tea, Babbler? :D It's an ha5 - just found out :D I'm off on its trail! *goes mole-ishly* ;D

5:28 am

sprite

Zubie, the total points are 2041. So you know how many points you are looking for :)

5:28 am

zubie

Got it! Got it! [Jumps up and down] 206!

5:28 am

sprite

Hooray! Very well done!

5:29 am

SunnFlower

well done zubie, take a bow

5:29 am

Babbler

*and now a big fat slab of chocolate cake to go with the celebratory tea*

congrats, zubie!!! :D

5:29 am

GothicAngelMT

I don't know how you people do it. But I guess it's because you guys have been playing a lot longer. Only been about a week for me.

5:29 am

zubie

Thanks, Sprite. I didn't think of looking at the points! *slaps forehead*

5:30 am

Babbler

I think took me ages to complete a game! Hang in there, Gothic, that first completion is fab!!

5:30 am

zubie

Chocolate cake! Thanks! :)

5:31 am

GothicAngelMT

I've had one completion, but it was that 44 word one the other day.

5:32 am

Babbler

good going!! wait till you complete one about this size, and you get all those niggly little words we were talking about earlier...... !! :D

5:32 am

sprite

Gothic, I did not finish a grid in my first week. Or in my second! Took me some time to get there and I think you are doing great.

5:33 am

sprite

Right!
And those 44-ish ones are not necessarily easier than the bigger ones. Usually they are very tight.

5:33 am

zubie

I didn't finish my first three grids and I intentionally resigned on the 483 whopper. I'd have been here all day! Did anyone complete it, do you know?

5:33 am

Dianne

Hi All Babblers - I've been out for most of the week and came back to this mess :) Does anyone have alist of the E words? TIA

5:33 am

Atalante

You just have to get more used to the "standard" Babble vocab list. Then a larger % of words become easier, and you can concentrate on the really weird ones!

5:34 am

GothicAngelMT

As I learned. I needed lots-o-clues.

5:41 am

La5/10 is in the posts somewhere, the currency one. Alt. spelling for a 100th of a rupi.

5:41 am

Babbler

re5/14 - another word for kingdom....

5:41 am

zubie

re 5/14 lies in the mystical - - - - - ;D

5:42 am

Babbler

la5/10 - I got it from the clue that it rhymes with the name of one of the Stooges....

5:43 am

sprite

You probably are missing Sh5/15 Heb., "the all-demanding world" = Gr. Hades, "the unknown region"), the
invisible world of departed souls. Play with the vowels.

5:44 am

Dayners

thanks guys, the re and la i've got. i'm down to five.
ooooh.... oooh... no... still five....

5:44 am

sprite

And Se5: used to conclude a verse in the Psalms, end, pauze (also Heb.)

Jen, I think the Royal Mail have still got it. They need a signature (recorded delivery) and i'm without a car just now. They are, of course, manfully disgregarding all my calls and e-mails asking them to redeliver... :/
They honestly could not organise a p***-up in a brewery }(
Sorry folks...that's as tame as I can put that :/

Hi Honey, Hi Jera :)

Sorry, off in the word of non-Babble for a while there :)

7:39 am

"word of non-babble"
Freudian slip?
Morning.

hi Jera! where are you from?

7:43 am

Jera

Hi, Honey? Are you new? Welcome! I'm in Virginia, near DC

7:43 am

Alleyn

I'm here - but struggling...

7:45 am

Jen

Jera, you are in Lorton, right? Though about you when we passed by on 95 yesterday!!

7:46 am

Anj

Ah Joel, I'm speaking in tongues. I can never esacpe the clutches of the Grid...

7:47 am

joelgee

The Grid is all around us. It binds us, connects us. . . never mind.

7:48 am

Honey

oic. yeah. a green apple you can say. been silently babling for a week now i think.

7:54 am

Jera

That's right, jen... you are close by, I forgot where... Herndon?

7:55 am

EvaNadine

ooh, lorton...isnt that where the prison is?

7:55 am

Jen

Yup! Right on the Loudoun/Fairfax border! :)

7:57 am

Anj

Hi EvaNadine :) How was your weekend??

7:58 am

Jera

Not anymore evanadine... they are trying to make it a historical thing now...

7:58 am

EvaNadine

hiya anj -- weekend was good...
BF and i did a walk for diabetes saturday morning, then i got some early christmas shopping in yesterday.
:)

7:59 am

Jera

You'll have to coem to my party Saturday... we're gonna cook out & have bunches of kids (in costume) running wild in my backyard... now that's a party, LOL!

7:59 am

EvaNadine

ahh, interesting.
much nicer to live near history than a prison...hehe

8:00 am

Jera

I'm about a mile north of the prison, I live on Ox road (which is 123).

8:03 am

Jen

Isn't 123 also Chain Bridge all the way up in Tyson's? My hubby and I remarked as we were passing it, that we were amazed it went all that way! How many kids you planning for?

8:03 am

Anj

Eeek! Xmas... how many shopping days left???

8:04 am

lola100

Hi jera, joel, eva, honey, jen, alleyn...er anyone else who came in while I was out :)

8:04 am

EvaNadine

heh, 2 months from tomorrow!
i figure without the roommate, i dont have the extra income, so itll be less painful to do it a bit at a time rather than all at once...
plus, i can avoid the insanity of the malls at christmastime!!

8:04 am

EvaNadine

hola lola!!

8:05 am

Jen

Heeeeyyyyy Lola!

8:10 am

EvaNadine

*looks wide-eyed as she just notices that babblers anonymous is linked under "friends of babble"*

8:11 am

Jera

Not familiar with Chain bridge road... Old Bridge road is a bit south of me...

8:11 am

Jera

123= Ox road as far as I know... could be Chain bridge eventually. I'm still learning the area.

8:13 am

EvaNadine

heh, all the roads around DC, MD, VA change names if you follow them far enough...i wouldnt be surprised...

8:14 am

Jen

No idea how many kids are coming... people never RSVP anymore except to say no... so it could be just family or it could be Sprite's entire class... who knows?

8:18 am

9:35 am

Bobsta

Lola: i think you'll find a big sympathiser in Bubbles with the lugging of equipment lol.

9:37 am

DarleenMB

le4/7 ... an oven used to anneal glass

9:38 am

Anj

Hi Darleen - is that Firefly???

9:38 am

DarleenMB

yup. I have a MAD crush on Nate. ;-)

9:38 am

Bubbles

Bye anj and lola.

Lola i really do sympathise, my parents store it all, i drive it and lug it and bob plays it......... What a team!

9:40 am

lola100

LOL! And do you get the credit you should??? I don't think so!

9:40 am

Anj

lol Darleen - this is after the Buffy, Angel, Stargate, Farscape stuff then??

9:41 am

Bubbles

err no comment!!!

9:41 am

DarleenMB

Well, to be truthful I never watched Angel (didn't get it on the satellite), nor Buffy (although we switched recently to Dish so picked up a few reruns, lucky me they were the ones with Nate!). Never a big Stargate fan but LOVED Farscape... Firefly ... well I was hooked 2 years ago when it came on Fox.

9:41 am

lottijw

Hi guys! I`m back again for as long as I can bear to sit in this chair :/

9:42 am

Chessy

Hi all :)

back to the babble grind ... have missed my daily fix!

9:43 am

Anj

Hi Lotti :) Good to see you hun :)

Darleen, aren't Ben Browder and Claudia Black both in Stargate now??

9:43 am

joelgee

Okay. A question for UKers. From the "Harry Potter" stories, the character Tonks greets Harry with "wotcher, Harry!"
On this side of the pond, no clue as to meaning. Can anyone provide illumination?

9:43 am

Anj

Hi Chessy - where have you been??

9:44 am

Bubbles

Bobsta is the man you want for that question joelgee

9:44 am

rolin

does anyone have the 4 x n's pls?

9:44 am

Bobsta

wotcher literally means 'watch you' it's a shortened version and gets used as a hello a lot, particularly in London as its quite a cockney saying.

9:45 am

Anj

Joel, it's also Wotcha! It's cockney - means 'what cheer'

9:45 am

lottijw

Hi Rolin......day off?

9:45 am

Chessy

Hi Anj - away, far far away in a place with no computers ... (Isle of Wight) - not holiday tho'

9:46 am

DarleenMB

Anj... Just Ben. Claudia was only on for a guest appearance while (can't remember her name!) was on maternity leave.

9:46 am

Anj

*gasps* but, but...ddddon't they have computers over the Solent??

9:46 am

rolin

half term lotti...which means i get to do school work at home..*sigh*...but i have determined i need a break..

9:47 am

lola100

Hi sis! How you doing today??

Hi chessy! Long time no see :)

9:47 am

joelgee

What cheer makes more sense to me than watch you so I'll go with that explanation. Firm believer in asking question 'til you get the answer you want.

9:47 am

Anj

Gotcha Darleen...must admit I lose track of all that. If I watched everything I wanted I wouldn't have time for anything else, let alone a life :)

9:47 am

Chessy

Anj - they have wirelesses with cats whiskers and tiny, tiny black and white televisions that only receive programmes made in 1950 ...

9:48 am

Chessy

Hi lola, how are you doing - have missed the babble fun :)

9:48 am

DarleenMB

Well, my tv viewing has become minimal since I discovered Babble!!

9:48 am

lottijw

You get the same half term as us then. My nephew had his either last week or the week before( Fort William)

9:49 am

rolin

hey did you hear the latest on the news this am...tony wants schools to be able to set their own curriculum?????

9:50 am

lottijw

That will end up t**s up then!!! Teachers can never agree can they!!???

9:50 am

lola100

Good grief rolin! That's the sort of thing I left africa to escape from!

9:52 am

Anj

Joel, i've added a link under 'Site of the Day' on EZB which might help with our slang :)

9:52 am

Bobsta

sorry, it should be (i'm) 'watching you'. i think the police used it in victorian London. it got shortened down. (at least thats what i read somewhere)
Hi lotti :)

9:52 am

rolin

*holds hands in the air*..ladies pls...dont shoot the msger..lol..does this man sddenly wake up at 3 am and say..GREAT...i have thought of yet another way to screw things up?...what would happen to sats?..gcse?..ofsted??..

DirtBikeGirl

Anj - Naw! No divorce happening here! He's a pilot and is currently working on the E. Coast while I live on the W. Coast so I can only badger him with it every few weeks when he's home. He got a new student who just moved from England so he can critique me now (drat!). My husbands name is Roger, and he just told me yesterday what THAT means. Last week I remember Lola saying you call a shopping cart a trolley, so that came in handy while shopping yesterday! Can't wait to try out these new words!

10:17 am

1:05 pm

Kimm

Hellllp! I need clues for sa 5/10 (not more rational) se 5/16 and sh 5/16 (the 3rd one). Anyone?

1:05 pm

goddessdeath

OL 4/4 - Hmm, think about the marching guys in the Wizard of Oz, when they're marching into the wicked witch's castle...Think about what they are chanting.

1:06 pm

joelgee

Oh man! Don't even start with Nutella. But what's Marmite? A spread made from school marms?

1:07 pm

Bugzy

Uh oh - did you have to bring up the "M" word, Scouts!? LOL :)

1:07 pm

bejay

spread it on your ol cookies!

1:07 pm

Ouwachita

wow...satan is not a valid word???

1:07 pm

joelgee

Bugzy--
Didn't see your earlier message. Small world. Used to be a west sider. Like the east side. Not as overwhelming.

1:08 pm

PAV3

Hi Bugsy..Joel...'M' GO BLUE! just getting started today, without the lists....81 so far...

1:09 pm

tbear

Marmite...you either love it or hate it....so they say

1:09 pm

ScoutsMom

joelgee, you've got to google it. there are whole websites dedicated to loving it or hating it, but none can actually describe it. that's all i know--we sure can't get it in memphis. i think it sounds like a breed of dog. or a mineral. or something britney spears would name her kid.

1:09 pm

cat2

How do you get a word list to help you finf words??

1:10 pm

e_gurl85

haha gem_gem
Scoutmom they were trying to make a clue and i was not getting it at so the cookie was confusing me more

1:10 pm

gem_gem

i still don't get it lol

1:11 pm

ScoutsMom

I know--i looked back in the chat after heating up my deep-fried weasel for lunch.

1:11 pm

joelgee

Yeah. I just googled it. I'm curious now. If I stumble across it, I'll probably buy some and it'll turn into a chemistry experiment.

1:11 pm

tbear

Marmite....Yeast extract,contains vitamins and is 100% vegetarian...looks like brown tar

1:11 pm

PAV3

cat2...under Friends of Babble, there's a link for Babblers Anon...go there and under General you'll see the stats list for today...courtesy of BrandyJack!!

1:11 pm

Bugzy

Not as many good restaurants on the east side, though, Joelgee.

Hi PAV... I am not going to comment on the Go Blue remark... as I am still crying over the 49-14 debacle...

1:12 pm

torgone

You guys are making me hungry .. Especially the fried weasel, Yum!!

1:12 pm

e_gurl85

well your lunch smells good

1:12 pm

joelgee

Bugzy--
That's the tradeoff. West side, more convenient for stuff. East side, quieter.

1:12 pm

e_gurl85

gem_gem you have not got that word or just dont get there clue

1:12 pm

ScoutsMom

yes, tbear, but what does it taste like? "yeast extract" does not at all sound appetizing.

1:13 pm

tbear

OH torgone.......sorry joelgee your eyes are like nothing to me after seeing torgone in his true light.....

1:13 pm

joelgee

The best thing I can say about the Lions is how 'bout them Wings?

1:13 pm

PAV3

Bugsy....you should know from playing Babble, there's always hope..8)

1:13 pm

gem_gem

1:14 pm

Ouwachita

1:14 pm

joelgee

Sigh. A prettier face comes along. . .

1:14 pm

tbear

Scouts Mum...it needs to be spread VERY thinly on toast and I love it....unique taste....can't really descibe

1:15 pm

torgone

tbear - You're too kind. But that's what women have always said: As soon as they saw me, they lost all interest in men ..

1:15 pm

joelgee

Well, Tbear's forsaken me. I might as well go back to work for awhile. I hate the mature, sensible thing.

1:15 pm

tbear

sOz joelgee....fickle female wiles

1:16 pm

Bugzy

I love the east side, the lake, smaller roads... in fact, Warren is too far west for me!
Of course there's always hope... as my icon today shows!! I'm a sucker for the underdog... :)

1:16 pm

tbear

joelgee please don't go....smiles winningly

1:16 pm

e_gurl85

Another stupid Vampire joke: What did Bob Hope say after he was bitten by a vampire?

1:54 pm

ScoutsMom

Minski--thanks for that "image." it is actually a bottle of baby shampoo, but it's turned to the side. She's holding it by the pump-dispenser at the top. Note the rubber ducky in her other hand, thus completing the bathtub tableau.

1:54 pm

tbear

Believe it or not Anj...haven't had a g&t for at least 10 days....

Ethiekid...greetings you might encounter when first approaching a group of guys - it sounds like Hey! Hey! Hey! but in reality it;s spelled differently...remember only four letters which by themselves total ten points

2:37 pm

Didn't think I'd need cash for that babe ;)

It Girl

Just found the last he 5/16. It's the plural of a bird, of the family Ardeidae, having a long neck, long legs, a long pointed bill, and usually white, gray, or bluish-gray plumage. It typically is spelled with 2 vowels.
For he 5/16, lose the second vowel, then make it plural.

2:58 pm

Our twins are almost 6 but the littlest is a force to be reckoned with! After 27 years of fatherhood he still hasn't learned how to smile, say yes a lot and still get them to do it your way! He always goes headlong into battle and loses about 90percent of the time!

Yes.... I partake a lot. ;-)

6:07 pm

Just did a little googling. The Le4/7 is a city in ND, but not the composer. You'd have to remove a vowel from the composer's name.

6:07 pm

This is weird. Anybody seeing numbers on the grid?

tbear

aw7......not present without asking permission

6:19 pm

Dr_God

Sorry folks, but Hasbo is leaning on me again. I had to change the tiles one more time. I'm not completely sold on the new look - the numbers are a bit too distracting at first glance. But I'm going to give it a day or two to let you guys get used to them. Then we'll take a vote and see how you like 'em.

To view the new tiles force-reload (hold down "option" or "alt" while refreshing) the page.

6:19 pm

tbear

I like the new look

6:21 pm

Niamh

6:22 pm

joelgee

Points. That's it. I'm officially tired. Later.

6:23 pm

speedfreak

Why can't the corporate giants leave us alone...

6:25 pm

Dr_God

You'll also notice that the numbers themselves have changed. This was something else I was forced to change. So Brandyjack is going to have to redo his little stats program.

6:25 pm

brandyjack

No wonder I can't find that first ha4/9.....

6:25 pm

lbav

anyone have a clue please for the M 6's

6:26 pm

speedfreak

OH Brandyjack: This is soo depressing...I was on the other site with this one now its off to a2z

6:29 pm

Niamh

m 6 Belonging to or used at the table... I think the other one has something to do with this meaning too??!

6:29 pm

Kimm

speedfreak- I've heard a2z mentioned a few times in the last few days. Whazat?

6:29 pm

torgone

GAAAAHHHH!!!! That is going to take a LOT of getting used to ...

6:29 pm

snowyowl

as there are new values on the letters now & I,ve refreshed the page,will that affect tonights scoring or am I being stupid?

6:29 pm

robert240

hi all

who's got hints for the 2 7's?

6:30 pm

brandyjack

No snowy, you are not. New lists will be posted shortly. Only the scores will change, not the orders....

6:30 pm

speedfreak

kimm: it's a site that gives lists of words...we have been trying to do it without..some people call it cheating

6:31 pm

speedfreak

snowy: I assume Dr_God has to redo the stats program also... weird look

6:31 pm

Kimm

Oh, Isee.

6:32 pm

snowyowl

Thanks brandyjack

6:32 pm

Niamh

yeah... finished the H's... (I feel like I have truly accomplished something!!)

6:33 pm

snowyowl

slightly greek looking don't you think? I'm sure we'll get used to it, although it does look odd now.

6:34 pm

PAV3

to7 28= pl of to6 18 (think 2 roads)

6:35 pm

robert240

ty pav

6:35 pm

speedfreak

Niamh: Congrats to you I have 14 left but might take a break and do an easier letter for awhile:)

6:35 pm

Kimm

9 words left, but I need to feed the family. Any help with ar 6/18, ar7/28, re 6/36, or the 2nd te 5/10?

6:36 pm

Jo

Dr_G-d :-(
Bummer!

6:36 pm

Jera

Ye gods & little fishes... wha happened to the font on the tiles??? (me likey)

6:36 pm

speedfreak

kimm: ar think nipples rest I can't help yet

6:37 pm

Niamh

speedfreak... I had to tackle that one, it was bugging me!!

6:38 pm

Jera

This is a good change for us blind as a bat babblers...

6:38 pm

PAV3

ar7 28 = also pl of ar6 18 Anatomy. A small ring of color around a center portion,

te5 10 (2nd one) starts like the first 'cept change the last two ltrs to that which resembles DOS, Windows, Unix, etc.

6:38 pm

walnutchen

hey!
a bunch of numbers just appeared below all my squares (in each square)... what does that mean?

6:38 pm

Kimm

Thanks speedfreak. I saw that clue earlier, but didn't get it til now.

6:38 pm

Niamh

te 5/10 The end of a goal-oriented process

6:38 pm

pinecone05

re 6/36 the clue someone gave was going over something again and again and again

6:39 pm

speedfreak

The new tiles don't look too bad, maybe the numbers could be a different color...?

6:39 pm

Kimm

Niamh- that's the one I have. Do you have the other?

6:39 pm

Jo

walnutchen -- see Dr. G-ds posts below. The numbers were always there, just not this obvious.

6:39 pm

walnutchen

ah i see.
hahaha. sorry. me = lame - should pay more attention...

6:39 pm

Niamh

re 6/36 is to go over something again

6:40 pm

PAV3

Kimm...see my post a min ago...!

6:40 pm

lbav

Niamh - thanks for the M clues

6:41 pm

Kimm

Thanks Pav3 and niamh. I'm working on it.

6:43 pm

pinecone05

te 5 / 10 A thin weblike structure plural

6:43 pm

Jera

Yay, I'm done! About drove myself crazy looking for those two rh's I forgot to type in, LOL!

6:43 pm

Niamh

kimm... the other te = tissue or structure like web: a delicate part or tissue in the body with a fine or intricate pattern like a web

6:43 pm

snowyowl

The tiles are clear. Maybe they'll prove to be easier on the eyes.

6:43 pm

Jera

That's what I'm thinking snowyowl...

6:44 pm

Niamh

your welcome for m clues!! I'm glad it helped

6:44 pm

snowyowl

Congrats Jera- long time no see. Everything ok with you?

6:44 pm

6:45 pm

Niamh

no problem Kimm... see you later!

6:45 pm

Jera

Doing pretty well, busy preparing for the big holiday... I'm gonna be worn out by the time it's actually here!

6:47 pm

cathy22w

hi all.... good evening

6:49 pm

snowyowl

Our lot will all be in their own homes for Halloween & the Guide movement in the UK does not allow us to have halloween activities. Our unit is not meeting on that night as the children like ti trick or treat. Over here a lot of units are attatched to churches and they object to the celebration.

6:51 pm

speedfreak

snowy: pardon my ignorance, but what is the Guide Movement?

6:51 pm

Jera

Really? Why no Halloween party? We do a JGL thing for the Troop, but that's an odd official policy... do people find it offensive for some reason?

6:52 pm

sandr

hi all - have two a's to go - any help\would be appreciated - its the an5/10 and al 4/7 that i'm missing.

6:52 pm

Jera

Girl Guides are like Girl Scouts in other countries

6:52 pm

walnutchen

hey! the H tile should be 4 pts not 2 pts, no?

6:52 pm

snowyowl

That would be your girl scout movement I believe Speed.
I run a group for 5-7 yr olds and help at a group for 7-10 yr olds

6:52 pm

Kimm

Niamh- hate to bother you again, but about that te 5/10. I'm still stuck. Does it rhyme with anything?

6:53 pm

PAV3

sandr opp of afar...and ahigh

6:53 pm

cathy22w

it is, walnut

6:53 pm

sandr

wonderful pav 3 - thanks alot

6:53 pm

PAV3

walnutchen...read the posts...Dr. God was forced to make changes and incl was changing some tile values...

6:53 pm

Dr_God

I'm gonna put the old tiles back up until midnight. Changing the numbers in the middle of a puzzle was a bad idea.

6:54 pm

Niamh

think of the british refering to the phone (that's the way it looks... probably not really pronounced like that)

6:54 pm

cindyhubbl

I really like the new letters

6:54 pm

speedfreak

Thank you Dr_God.

6:54 pm

Kimm

Niamh- bless you!

6:55 pm

Niamh

unless there is some technical problem, we can deal with it Dr. God... no worries!

6:55 pm

snowyowl

I agree with you Jera Halloween is becoming a much bigger thing here now & I know it is a big holiday for you. the churches object on the black magic connotations etc, which I think is taking things a bit far., but in these days of political correctness!!!!!!

6:55 pm

walnutchen

he. sorry - a bit slow after 175 words... my eyes are going bonkers!

6:55 pm

Niamh

no problem Kimm! ;~)

6:56 pm

cathy22w

snowy... i felt the same way until moving here 2 yrs ago (i am a brit)... i've learned it seems more to do with the fun of dressing up and conning as many sweets as you can out of people!

6:56 pm

speedfreak

snowy: a lot of churches turn it into a celebration of the fall to keep away from the "black magic" have to say in my younger days we did the whole cemetary thing in Salem Mass with the "real" witches, it was one of the most memorable Halloweens!!

6:57 pm

Jera

I consider myself fortunate to live in a religiously diverse area, but I'm still in the broom closet IRL... better safe than sorry & I don't want my children to suffer...

6:57 pm

Anj

Okaaaaaay...disappear for an hour and someone spraypaints the grid and probably nicks its wheels as well ...and changes the tile values lol :)
Babble gets a 21st century makeover then...

6:59 pm

Jera

A good compromise for a JGL birthday party is to dress up as your favorite woman from history... that went over very well last year...

7:00 pm

Jera

Real Witches Rock (not that I'm biased or anything) ;>

7:00 pm

brandyjack

Dr_God, now that I think about it I agree. People who are already done would have a higher score. I was unable to find an archived game with the new V artwork. They all showed up with the old artwork. Does the V keep it's value of 4?

7:00 pm

sandr

any clues for the em5/14 ? just not seeing it. I like thenew tiles by the way.

7:01 pm

snowyowl

We actually meet in a church hall and our vicar won't allow halloween parties there. We usually have a party that covers halloween & Guy Fawkes night - a costume party that doesn't involve halloween dressing up. This year we had planned a 'Sauages beans and jeans' night.
but as our meeting fell on 31st the children preferred to 'trick or treat'

7:02 pm

speedfreak

Jera: Being in Salem so much the witches are not into black magic, but mostly ritualistic ceramonies, some were quite fascinating..

7:03 pm

snowyowl

sandr the em5 sounds like an eastern leader.

7:03 pm

Jera

em 5/14 = an independent ruler or chieftain (especially in Africa or Arabia) (also spelled with an i as a four letter word)

7:04 pm

Jera

Thanks, speedfreak, I'll take that as a compliment... Samhain is very special to me, especially since my mother passed on... also honoring those who died during the burning times...

7:04 pm

sandr

thanks jera - could have sworn i had typed that! am so losing it tonight!

7:05 pm

Jera

snowyowl... that makes sense.

7:07 pm

speedfreak

Jera: It was a compliment...I found those ceremonies quite religious and moving...The Salem witch trials were a sad commentary on people...sadly that kind of panic can still happen today..

7:07 pm

snowyowl

I think its Sherbs birthday on Halloween ( read it in her profile) perhaps we should have a party for her?!!!

7:07 pm

katmayo

Just 30 seconds ago the 'new' letters...now I'm viewing the 'old' letters....one could get eye strain.

7:10 pm

Kimm

Last word. Can anyone help me with ar 5/16 so I can feed my family? I'm so addicted.

7:11 pm

speedfreak

kimm: Go eat....ar plus something you wear on your head...:)

7:11 pm

sandr

kimm ar 5/16 add something u wear on your head

7:12 pm

Kimm

Thank you speedfreak. My family thanks you as well. Night all!

7:12 pm

snowyowl

ar5 - head gear that sounds as if it belongs to us both

7:12 pm

Dr_God

brandyjack-

The "V" does indeed stay at "4"

7:13 pm

pinecone05

I need a clue for the first re 5 /10...not the one about kidneys

7:14 pm

brandyjack

Dr_God, it'll be interesting to see what the final scores are. If my logic is correct and the game won't update the score of a word already found, then words found in the few minutes of the change could be off if they involved changed values.....

7:15 pm

snowyowl

pinecone - another word for a lasso or lariat

7:16 pm

alghjr

Hello Dr. God, funny the grid won't take "alot" , I use this word..... alot !! ??

7:17 pm

katmayo

"alot" It is not one word. It is a lot. A lot of people, including me, learned this after not having this mistake corrected while attending school.

7:18 pm

alghjr

Yeah, I guess I skipped class that day !!

7:24 pm

Dr_God

brandyjack-

Don't worry about the scores. I didn't change the point calculations behind the scenes. I only updated the tile images. So it was only a cosmetic change for a while.

7:24 pm

speedfreak

Yea!!! H's are in their cages!! Hope there are none in tomorrows puzzle:)

7:25 pm

stillcrazy

any help with the ar 6/18 and ar 7/28?

7:26 pm

speedfreak

stillcrazy: think nipples

7:27 pm

stillcrazy

I won't comment but ty

7:28 pm

speedfreak

Dr_God: Not trying to be a pain, but does that mean all of us who finish today and tonight will have the same score?

7:28 pm

stillcrazy

Got it and that was a great clue!

7:29 pm

pinecone05

Thank you snowyowl. I found the lasso word and I now have only one more word to go thanks to you!

7:29 pm

Dr_God

speedfreak-

Yes. Pretend like the tiles never changed.

(Dr_God waves the Men in Black thingamabob in front of speedfreak's face)

7:29 pm

brandyjack

speedfreak, that's exactly what he said. All scores will be fine, and I should learn to keep my mouth shut. This rumour will take on a life of it's own real quick.....

7:30 pm

Jera

Hey, did you flashy-thing speedfreak?!?

7:30 pm

I'm already under your power with Babble Dr_God, at this point you have us all trained:))

I posted the modified stats for today on Babblers Anon in a secondary message. Drastic points change. Todays list would have dropped from 2041 to 1793.
