mamabear

I finished it 3 minutes before it closed!!!!

12:39 am

Schroeder

Congrats MAMABEAR!!! I know it is late for you but I will still toast to you (it's only 10:30 here) *tink cheers*

GreyWoulf

Ok, now I can go to sleep for real. I got it too!

12:40 am

Griffums

I'm sure I'll feel properly stupid when I finally see what the Alaskan clue was, especially if it relates to the oilpatch (been there done that).

12:41 am

mamabear

Thx Schroeder!!! Never to late for a toast!!! (mamabear goes to kitchen to get glass..... damn... trips on dog ... puts on lite..... apologizes to dog....ok you pourin????)

Schroeder

12:48 am

GreyWoulf

It's what makes the world such an enjoyable place to live, Tbug

12:48 am

Tbug

Blaze

Griff you are little stuck on the Kap tonite.... are you a bit cold.... or keeing the brain cells warm LOL

1:39 am

Griffums

Probably the former, the snow is creeping down the mountains pretty quickly now and we got a dusting on the street tonight on my way home, but just barely. I can't believe we got to the end of October without snow.

1:40 am

Blaze

I like the snow.... if only it would not go on the roads... when I was up north snowy roads were not a problem but down here it is stay at home time...

1:41 am

blabbel

it's 32 degrees in northeast ohio

1:42 am

Blaze

OK 5/20 just for griff

1:47 am

broll

blabbel - 34 here in Oberlin. where you?

1:50 am

boatierra

So what's the deal with the white 5 at the bottom of the K? I read the Babble rules, and did not see anything about it.

1:51 am

Blaze

boat..... the grid tiles had to be changed because of hasbro request.... it was done two nights ago....

1:51 am

smooth_turtle

boatierra - the 5 is the point value of the K, just like in scrabble.

1:52 am

mab

boatierra -- the tiles were recently redesigned; you may have to empty your cache or refresh a few times to get a matching set of tiles. They all should look like your K.

1:53 am

Griffums

Sorry I drifted away again, like the snow. Thanks for the ok 5/20 Blaze!

1:53 am

Blaze

It is so fitting for tonites grid... for yoou Griff

1:54 am

mab

Yeah, Blaze, the ok5 is a great word.

I love your pumpkins icon.

1:55 am

Blaze

hello Mab.... how are you...??

1:55 am

Griffums

Hmm, but no HANDYKAP or ANDYKAP
okay I'll put a kap on it

1:58 am

mab

Trying to do this with a migraine, Blaze. I need to go to bed and let it pass, but a new babble is hard to tear oneself away from.

1:58 am

Griffums

:((( oh, migraines are awful - I've been lucky not to have had one in almost a year. So sorry.

1:59 am

Blaze

Mab best to take yourself to bed.... the babble will still be here.... the computer screen will do you no favors with a migraine....

2:03 am

boatierra

The K on my board is the only one with a white letter at the bottom. Its the first time I've seen this. And every time I refresh it comes up the same way. No biggie. Just interesting to note. Thanks for the info.

2:03 am

mab

It's a waxing and waning thing, this headache, but you're right, will stop staring at this very soon. Griffums, I don't get these very often. If I take Excedrin right away I can sometimes escape it.

2:03 am

zoom

mabs - look after yourself - migraines are nasty beasts - feel better tomorrow :)

2:04 am

Blaze

Mab have you tried a cold pack on the back of your neck...??

2:04 am

Griffums

Me too - a big dose of excedrin ahead, but I get a clear aura so I know it's coming.
Hey I just found today's fish in the puzzle!

2:04 am

cybernan

Good night, all -- 35 to go.

2:05 am

Blaze

Fish word letter please Griff (wink)

2:06 am

Griffums

It starts with an H and it has no kap!

2:06 am

zoom

well, that's half way now & time to get everyone up & ready for the day - uuugh, groaning moaning teenagers! good luck all & maybe see you later :)

2:06 am

Griffums

'night nan -

2:07 am

mab

You're all so sweet, thank you. It will go away soon and yes, thanks, Blaze I do have ice.

2:08 am

boatierra

I get migraines all the time. This is what I do to help get rid of it: proper hydration (dehydration can cause a migraine), take an OTC painkiller, go to the bathroom (backed up bowls can cause a migraine), start sniffing essential oil of spearmint, and hit the hay if I can. In aromatherapy, the mint family is well known to help reduce headache/migraine pain. I prefer spearmint. But whatever works for you, works for you. Good luck :)

2:10 am

Blaze

boat.... the mints are great I also use lavender...and rescue remedy for everything including migraines

2:11 am

boatierra

Blaze - Ya, laverder is great to help go to sleep. I haven't tried Rescue Remedy for migraines, but always something to consider.

2:12 am

Blaze

Rescue remedy on the temple and back of neck....

2:15 am

boatierra

I attended massage therapy school a few years ago, and focused on aromatherapy. Personally I place the spearmint oil neat on my occipital ridge, and a bit on both temples. If I do it just right, the mild burning sensation on my OR feels really good. But, as my disclaimer, I would never, ever advise to anyone to place spearmint oil neat on their skin. If done improperly, it can seriously burn.

2:16 am

Blaze

thank you boaterra

2:22 am

Blaze

the ti 6/24 is hillarious

2:24 am

Griffums

All I know is that is isn't TIPKAP

morning sprite, there's a ke5/24, it's a fibre

3:33 am

Ho Hum

you are missing another ka4/8 and 5/10 and a kn5/20 not sure about the others

3:34 am

smooth_turtle

sprite, a clue for (a) ka 4/8 - plural of "know" or "understand"

3:34 am

sprite

You guys are the greatest. Ks are never my strong suit.

3:34 am

smooth_turtle

wait scratch that. i totally misread your message :P

3:35 am

sprite

Thanks anyway, turtle :) Nice of you to help.

3:37 am

smooth_turtle

oh I see. there are two ke 4/8's. my clue was for the first one

3:37 am

smooth_turtle

blah :P

3:39 am

sprite

I would be grateful for a shove in the right direction for the 2nd Ka combo. I have the alt. spelling for "Scot. and Irish Eng.rent paid in kind, esp. a percentage of a farm crop" one.

3:39 am

SunnFlower

got all the k's, there are 2x ka5/18

3:41 am

dalmatian5

Do Ko words really exist???? I have been trying every combination I can think of and have not gotten one of the three yet! Can anyone help?

3:41 am

SunnFlower

have you got the ka that's a subatomic particle sprite?

3:41 am

sprite

nm, found it right after asking. Asking helps :)

3:43 am

SunnFlower

ko4/ko5, is a Zen story apparently

3:43 am

sprite

dalmatian: two are words from the buddhism, sing. and pl. for a very short story that contains an unsolvable riddle. The other one is a hebrew letter.

3:44 am

Ho Hum

Can I have a clue for the kn5/20 please

3:44 am

sprite

Only if you go down on them and beg, HoHum :)

3:44 am

Dianne

K's are making me Krazy - I have
ka x 5
ke x 3
kh x 3
kn x 5
ko x 3

What one am I missing?

3:45 am

Ho Hum

I would but I have that already as a 5/18 ?!

3:45 am

sprite

Hm, I see you are right. I don't have a Kn5/20 yet, only a Kh5/20. Sorry!

3:46 am

Ho Hum

NP appreciate the throught anyway

3:46 am

SunnFlower

Dianne, ke4/10, ke5/24, ke4/8 x2

3:47 am

Ho Hum

doh - got it,plural of the kn4/9

3:47 am

smooth_turtle

kn 5/20 - To break or chip (stone) with sharp blows, as in shaping flint or obsidian into tools.

3:47 am

smooth_turtle

apparently it's chiefly british

3:48 am

dalmatian5

Sprite - thanks a million! I cannot believe how smart all the folks that Babble are!!!!!

3:49 am

sprite

lol Ho Hum, bet you did the same as I: only seeing that one place for the 4th letter and not realising you could go another way and make it plural :)

3:49 am

Dianne

ferrari - got that last K thanks to your help :)

3:50 am

sprite

yw, dalmatian! The longer you play, the more absolutely useless but very interesting words you get to know ;)

3:51 am

Ho Hum

Exactly Sprite!!!! oh well it's all part of the fun LOL

3:51 am

Chessy

hello all :)

yes, sprite, but sadly I forget the words by the next day!

3:52 am

Dianne

Chessy - glad to know there is someone else kust like me out there - I see them one day and then have to hunt for them again the next!

3:53 am

sprite

Chessy, I refuse to believe you have forgotten 'ywis', 'crms', 'hisn' or any of the 'naoi-anoa-etui' family!

3:54 am

Chessy

True sprite, not to mention 'haen' and 'pfui' !

3:55 am

sprite

Oh yeah, those nasty ones too :)

3:55 am

sprite

One I really hate: haar. It's such a dutch word (for hair) and it doesn't look even remotely english.

4:01 am

Ho Hum

121 so far but have to go to a meeting, Bye for now.

4:02 am

sprite

At least you have some words to use in that meeting, Ho Hum! ;)
See you later.

4:02 am

Chessy

not to mention 'neuk' eh sprite, lol

4:03 am

sprite

Yeah, one of the rudest words in dutch indeed, Chessy :)

4:03 am

amandacath

too bad babble doesn't take German words. This one's full of 'em!

4:04 am

sprite

Frustrating, right amanda? ;)
I know the feeling.

4:08 am

dalmatian5

I need just one more word and I will be through. It is probably right in front of my face. But, I cannot see it. Please, please a hint for the first Pa 4/6.

4:09 am

sprite

dalmation, my first Pa4/6 is: elongated, often segmented appendage usually found near the mouth in invertebrate organisms such as mollusks, crustaceans, and insects, the functions of which include sensation, locomotion, and feeding. (Well, you asked.)

4:11 am

dalmatian5

No wonderI cannot find the darn thing! At least it is not too easy! I am watching a movie called Papi and I wanted to use that word!!!!

4:11 am

sprite

Perhaps easier: a tropical tree with another last letter.

4:11 am

SunnFlower

dalmation haveyou got the appendage? it's almost same as pu4/7

4:12 am

Dianne

dalmation - my 1st Pa4/6 sounds like a shortened form of "heart pa--------s" - beating very fast.

4:13 am

dalmatian5

Sprite and Ferrari - thank you so much!!!! I got it from the tropical tree. I have finished and will be able to get a great nights sleep - but better yet can get some things done tomorrow!!!! Thank you again!

4:13 am

sprite

WTG dalmatian! Sleep well and enjoy your day tomorrow :)

4:14 am

dalmatian5

Night all..........

4:14 am

SunnFlower

3 cheers for dal

4:18 am

4:19 am

Ho Hum

4:20 am

4:34 am

4:38 am

SunnFlower

the ti 6 is a lovely word, you can imagine D'Arcy ti*****ing to dry off his wet shirt

4:40 am

SunnFlower

A friend of mine calls the bra an upper-decker flopper stopper!

4:40 am

Dianne

jenwould - you make me blush.

9:30 am

baggo

9:31 am

baggo

9:31 am

FMitch

Lucky you are doing well, let us know what you need help on.

9:32 am

jakes-mum

can I have a clue for the 2 Uh words plz?

9:32 am

joelgee

Bubbles1-
Maybe Babble doesn't accept lakhs because it's an Indian word. Just guessing. Also, Enable is key source. Not there, no word. Just beez that way.

9:32 am

LUCKY

baggo salami??? geezihateit

9:33 am

baggo

if you have the ul's add the h...if not i'll get a real def

9:33 am

jakes-mum

9:33 am

joelgee

Bubbles--
Actually, Babble accepted the singular. I don't think you can get to the plural.

9:33 am

baggo

9:34 am

jakes-mum

ohh ty baggo, I just saw your post

9:35 am

baggo

bubble, pl must not be a word, not in merriam wbster

9:35 am

joelgee

a2z is just an aid. It's not the official source. Singular works. Can't get to the plural. Letters have to touch.

9:35 am

Bubbles

Ok ok i'm thick not paying any attention, your right you cannot get to it. I'm gonna go and hide in the corner.

9:35 am

Baggo what real def are you talking about 9:45 am??

9:49 am

baggo

ok, just a bit of a teaching moment...since we all can get the second letter list quite easily now thanks to dr g...what i do is try all i can without it's aid...then copy it to a word document and go back and check off what i have...use the point count and go alphabetically and you should be able to come up with the odd ones pretty easily...unless you're math challenged then ignore the above...5's are x2, 6'sx3 etc.... ;-)

hey mtn, i went to broad ripple yesterday looking for the vegetarian rest, and couldn't find it, and i've not heard of the pony???? any clues?

9:57 am

Pretty sure mtnjock just made that all up the other day. there's no such place as the pony! mtn, quit messing with people!

9:57 am

jakes-mum

ty mtn, I copied your list over what I got from babblers anon, I like to have point values

9:57 am

baggo

Madxser...up in the friends of a babble box, there is a babblers anonymous link, click on it, go to general and then to stats, brandyjack rocks, he posts all the stats there...copy paste to a word document, and theya re at your hand

9:58 am

baggo

jakes mum go further down, you'll see all the points with the second letter post....

9:59 am

mtnjock

There is a English Pub (the pony is a rock bar down the alley behind it) near the end of the main strip in Broad Ripple. The veggie place is 2 blocks up the strip and on the right. It has a mediterrian theme to it. Great Place, I will get the name and post later today, I have co-workers in Indy who will tell me the name, loc exactly for you.

9:59 am

nice to know scoutsmom, i've lived not far from broad ripple, my whole life, never had heard of it the other day, but bars are ever changing there, and thought it might be off the main street...mtn, you owe me gas money....lol

10:14 am

Poo's Mom: I will take 5-6 inches every other week, if you don't mind. Scattered or all at once, your choice. Esp. since Scout has never seen it.

10:16 am

Bugzy

Holy Cow... I live on the "non-lake effect" side of the lakes... we get about 40-50 inches a year, and that's plenty for me!

10:17 am

You'll notice I said 'at least'; those are the slow years LOL Glad my driveway isn't particularly big :) Sandusky? no.... Have a brother in Ashtabula, that's about as far into OH I go

scoutsMom, its Memphis, last year it was saturday and not Sunday (the 31st)... thats why I was asking.

10:29 am

mtnjock

baggo, are you moonlighting as a lunchlady?

10:29 am

ScoutsMom

No, last year it was halloween night. That's when I took the picture that is my icon right now...I'd just gotten back from Indiana that day.

10:30 am

yep every friday you can find me at my kids school, helping out...really must go and eat before i go, cause i wont want to after...its a great diet...

See you baggo! I have to go too.

10:32 am

I am, Scout is coming over (dressed as ... a little devil) and she is helping me hand out candy! and going down to the haunted house down the street!

10:32 am

ScoutsMom

Miyavi...I love halloween. It's better than christmas.

10:35 am

Miyavi_fan

I'm forced to agree with that...Christmas in my house gets pretty scary, what with the sister 'smiling' and my parents staring with undisguised disgust at the dir en grey CD's I beg for.

10:35 am

Bugzy

Get this... my son is planning on being Darth Vader for Halloween. This week, his school sends home a note saying all kids must dress up as "positive role models" for Halloween parties at school, ie. no villains, etc. So he's going in his last year's costume, a king. I think that's such a crock!! Just had to vent...

10:36 am

lola100

baggo- barely... :/ No, lol, actually it was good fun :)

mtn- I'm not going to a concert, Anj is :)

10:36 am

Punster, Ka 5/18 consists of a electrally charged form

10:37 am

walnutchen

bugzy: r u serious?
Darth Vader can be a positive role model as well - not following the norm of the society, thinking outside the box...etc.

10:37 am

walnutchen

that is a big load of crock.

10:38 am

ScoutsMom

Bugzy, I have the same problem. Scout's day care said they could wear costumes as long as they were "friendly." So I made a joke about my apple-cheeked girly dressing up like a little red devil and they were so shocked they told me she couldn't wear it to school. It's velvet! It has sequins! It's a couple of horns and a tail away from being elmo, for crying out loud! SHe's wearing it anyway.

10:38 am

Bugzy

That's what my son said "He's a good role model for the Dark Side!!" LOL

10:39 am

joelgee

Who is a better role for redemption than Darth Vader? How feisty do you want to get about this? I say put it on the school board to make a stink.
Right to the Supreme Court, baby!

10:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Of course Darth Vader is a positive role model, especially since so many children these days are aspiring to take over the world

10:40 am

walnutchen

Agree. talking about limiting the freedom of speech. Plus, look at the girl darth vader got. He got to hang out with Princess Amidala...

10:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Myself included

10:40 am

ScoutsMom

I'll admit, though...a vader costume would've been cooler than the red devil. But I don't remember seeing one in her size. *alas*

10:41 am

ScoutsMom

Well, if you wanted to take over the world, you could always dress like pinky and the brain.

10:41 am

Bugzy

Scouts-- A teacher at Joe's preschool a couple of years ago also had a problem with the t-shirt that he wore (bought at Old Navy) that said "Little Devil" on it. Crazy!!!
Not to get political here, but what also gets me is that one of the suggestions of "positive role models" they gave was a soldier....

10:43 am

Bugzy

www.buycostumes.com has all the Star Wars characters, in all kinds of sizes. They had an adorable Yoda costume for toddlers. It was sold out in August, tho. That's when I got Joe's costume from there. He decided a long time ago that he was going to be Darth Vader....

10:43 am

walnutchen

Bugsy: Can they dress up as power rangers? Because I think they are the worst role models ever!

10:44 am

Miyavi_fan

A soldier! What the hell?! How is that a positive influence! Oh yeah, let's go kill people...in a POSITIVE way!

10:44 am

joelgee

I guess it depends who's defining "positive role model".
I guess you can see soldiers on the news any time doing soldiery things, but you have to be a certain age to see Darth Vader. Go figure.

10:45 am

walnutchen

Bugzy: time to move to California (more liberal?!?) ... I can't imagine such a thing happening here!

10:45 am

Bugzy

Exactly... who's to decide what "positive" is. We were considering using one of Joe's old costumes, a Ninja, but wondered if it was "Positive" or not...
Anyway, can you tell that Joe picks costumes based on how cool the weapons are that go with it??? LOL

the ak's sound like what you put in a lock to open it

10:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Of course ninjas are positive influences! If I was made to dress as a positive influence, I would probably go as Marilyn Manson, then make up loads of good stuff about him.

10:51 am

1:26 pm

mamabear

1:27 pm

kristin

1:27 pm

ScoutsMom

mamabear, my clue was for the last an4/4. is that what you needed?

1:27 pm

mamabear

1:27 pm

mtnjock

take your ga 5/30, and no k, but a p

1:27 pm

Vicuna

ga 5 is pl of ga4/11 (reminiscent of Hagrids baby brother...)

1:28 pm

joelgee

if you have a ga4/11, turn it into a 3rd person active verb.

1:28 pm

mamabear

yes ScoutsMOm - muchas grasias

1:28 pm

kristin

mamabear I resisted forever but couldn't resist the icon temptation

1:29 pm

mamabear

do you get icons to choose from or do you have to find your own?

1:29 pm

evanonut

kristen, nice icon, but i'm charmed by the dog in mtnjocks icon

1:29 pm

Jera

AARGHH!!! Plural... plural... plural!!!

1:30 pm

kristin

you find your own but it gives instructions on how to insert the icon - trust me i'm by far computer literate and I did it - just google whatever kind of image you are looking for

1:30 pm

mtnjock

Can I get a hint for the kn 5/20

1:30 pm

Jera

Okay ge5/14... I'm ready to smack myself again...

1:30 pm

Jera

1:30 pm

mtnjock

1:31 pm

joelgee

1:31 pm

walnutchen

1:31 pm

mtnjock

1:32 pm

walnutchen

Jera

Coulda sworn I tried that!!! Thanks... on to the K's...

1:34 pm

walnutchen

diane: 162. not too bad - not too many super long words today...

1:34 pm

Jera

That's the town my soap is in... :>

1:35 pm

DianeMarjorie

thanks walnut

1:35 pm

joelgee

This is so cool. I can actually work on one half of my screen and follow the chat on the other half.
When you spend all your working time alone in a smallish room, it really helps.

1:35 pm

joelgee

If your soap is in that town, how do you wash?

1:36 pm

harpjane

Need ti6 help, pleas!

I know what a boob is. (We have those in Montana.) I know what a sheep is. (We have those in Montana.) I'm still missing something.

1:36 pm

mtnjock

ok, my turn for idiocy, help with the first la 5/12?

1:36 pm

evanonut

just heard a good one guys...
"if ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people" - quoth the little taggie on my teabag.

1:37 pm

mtnjock

think underwire bra, pushup bra, they do what to boobs?

1:37 pm

joelgee

More than one la4/4

1:37 pm

spellit

la 5/12 French bunny rabbit!

1:37 pm

joelgee

oops my mistake.
If I said it's French for rabbit, would that help?

1:38 pm

mtnjock

thanks spellit, don't speak french but knew that word!

1:38 pm

Frances

harpjane
ti6/24 t..t..

1:38 pm

walnutchen

mtnjock: Tony stewart was la5 (soundslike!) some ppl this Past sunday

1:39 pm

kristin

my favorite quote is a Dilbert - Dilbert is intereviewing a guy and says "I don't mean to frighten you, but you'll have to do some actual work" and the guy interviewing replies "that's crazy talk" - the guy must have found the Babble website!

1:40 pm

mtnjock

evanonut - you just made my profile of great babble quotes...

1:41 pm

evanonut

kristine - good one

mtnjock - NICE!

1:41 pm

harpjane

I got the ti word. Thanks. We don't use that word for sheep out here. Babblers learn something every day!

1:42 pm

walnutchen

finally... last one... ti5! any help would be awesome.

1:42 pm

evanonut

my favorite dilbert is about the numbing, where they all go to watch a co-worker as he stresses about his work until he cant take it anymore, then he crosses over and is numbed,...i wish i would cross over already.

1:43 pm

walnutchen

oops, I meant ok5, not ti5. man.. losing my mind...

1:43 pm

mtnjock

7 p words left, uuggghhh how are you fareing scouts?

1:43 pm

joelgee

No ti5. Two ti4. One ti6

1:44 pm

walnutchen

btw, my favorite dilbert thing is that he says that companies will keep promoting ppl upward until they can do the least harm to the company.

So the better worker you are, the lower on the totem pole you stay!

1:45 pm

joelgee

the ok5 would be your antelope-like beastie.

1:45 pm

kristin

Walnutchen - how true it is!

1:45 pm

evanonut

ah walnut...i just knew i was good...now i have proof.
* sitting cross legged at the bottom of the pole *
could be worse, i could be in files i guess

1:45 pm

Frances

walnutchen
ok5/20 forest mammal

1:46 pm

mamabear

having trouble keeping up with the animal clues - can't find the fench rabbit or the sheep and now there's an antelope.... you have to be Noah to play this game!!!

1:46 pm

joelgee

also called a "forest giraffe".

1:46 pm

ScoutsMom

This is only tangentially related, but I've been sitting here all morning doing my job and listening to my boss invite ALMOST every person in the office over for thanksgiving dinner. It's the ALMOST that's ticking me off.

1:47 pm

walnutchen

alright thank you so much all...!!!! yeah!

1:47 pm

evanonut

awe scouts - my boss promised me monday she wasn't leaving, and announced yesterday she was.

1:47 pm

joelgee

That's not right for a boss to do that. Tell him/her I said so. Bad management policy. Everybody or nobody.

1:48 pm

Judi

Spellit, your doggy looks like my doggy. Is your dog a husky?

1:48 pm

walnutchen

kristin/Evonut...
Yeah, I am sitting here on the bottom of the totem pole also. ahhaha. Too bad I don't know how to cause some damage... any ideas?

1:49 pm

evanonut

walnut - hatchet if you want to watch some people tumble first

chainsaw for complete dessimation

1:49 pm

ScoutsMom

That's what I'm saying. I would rather hang out, just Scout and me, for the holiday. Relax and watch "A Bug's Life" and crap like that, spend the day in our pajamas. But don't play favorites. Give me the chance to gracefully turn down an invite.

1:50 pm

mtnjock

any help with pi 6/30?

1:50 pm

evanonut

scouts, turn the table and invite your boss, make like you don't know about these invites :-)

1:51 pm

walnutchen

pi6 - fee charged for using someone else's oil pipes...
or, slangly, Man, I have soo much pi6 that I don't know what to do with it....

1:51 pm

joelgee

Scoutsmom--
So you don't want to go, but you're feeling bad that you're not invited.
Things like that remind us of the relative importance of the workplace, sometimes.

1:51 pm

mtnjock

evan, good call, devious, yet sublime...

1:51 pm

walnutchen

ok all. time for my exercise of the week.. Ultimate Frisbee time! see you all later. Thanks for all your help! have a great weekend!

1:52 pm

evanonut

mtn - how ironic, that's my husbands pet name for me.

1:52 pm

Judi

Clue for the last 6-letter word?
I have F6, P6x2, T6 and U6

1:52 pm

bearsmum

whenever I click on the babblers anon link I just get a page saying service maintainence. What am I doing wrong? Newbie here so need all the help I can get!

1:52 pm

mtnjock

Thanks walnutchen! Great clue... Man, I got... LOL

1:54 pm

joelgee

Nothing to do with you. BA has been up and down all day.

1:54 pm

mtnjock

Judi, uh6

1:56 pm

bearsmum

1:56 pm

mtnjock

evan, house ke*, car ke* on a ke** ring

1:56 pm

Judi

I have the U6, Mtnjock. Must be something else.

1:56 pm

Schroeder

evanonut what you use to open a door

1:57 pm

Schroeder

+ plural

1:57 pm

mtnjock

pl6 pl6 pi6, which one do you need a clue for?

1:58 pm

ScoutsMom

No, I do not care to go. But as a former boss of many people (changed careers recently), I know that exclusion does not foster productivity.

1:58 pm

evanonut

epiphany! tx guys

1:59 pm

Judi

The other PL-6. I have the one that means boards.

1:59 pm

mtnjock

Evan, Your husband's pet name for you is devious or sublime.

1:59 pm

evanonut

true scout, neither does dwelling on negatives or making your employees feel stupid and inferior

1:59 pm

mtnjock

Judi - A movie Pl****, trains and automobiles...

1:59 pm

evanonut

i believe he intones that the devious leads to the sublime

2:00 pm

Judi

Thank you for the Pl-6. I'm so stupid I should jump out of one right now.

2:00 pm

Minski

I am missing the 2 HA 5/12s. Could someone please help me? Thanks.

2:02 pm

mtnjock

HA** Christian Anderson (childrens author) + vowel
then change the vowel

2:03 pm

mamabear

Schroeder - I love your new icon - LOL

2:03 pm

Minski

Thanks mtnjock. Who knew those were words? Muchly appreciated.

2:03 pm

mtnjock

Done, who needs help, I am here for the next 1/2 hour!

2:03 pm

evanonut

judi - not without a glass of champs you don't

2:04 pm

kristin

Scout - just have to say that I love your "productivity" comment and here you are babbling -

2:04 pm

Schroeder

thanks MAMABEAR, figured everyone should be in costume.

2:04 pm

evanonut

i need the last an 4, i got the one that rhymes with pain and the one that is mixed up nasa

2:04 pm

mtnjock

Pouring a big glass of Jack and Coke... Where is the party tonight, seeing our cruise director Lola is out!

2:05 pm

Judi

2:05 pm

kristin

Lola and Anj are both MIA - obviously we weren't invited to the party and on a Friday night at that!

2:05 pm

mtnjock

evan - egyptian religious symbol of old

2:06 pm

mtnjock

Judi, count to 10 and pull the ripcord

2:06 pm

evanonut

now if i had only paid attention in school...

2:06 pm

mtnjock

kristin, they are at a rock concert

2:06 pm

ScoutsMom

Kristin, that just illustrates my point.

2:07 pm

mtnjock

evan - think logans run... LOL... or an Kappa Happy

2:08 pm

kristin

Scout, considering my boss (a VP at that) sits and surfs the internet all day, don't think I feel any guilt for babbling all day

2:09 pm

evanonut

ah to have internet access at work - but security first they say.

2:12 pm

mtnjock

what kind of work are you in Evan?

2:12 pm

mtnjock

and did you get the an from the Clues?

2:14 pm

evanonut

no i didn't, and i'm in investigations

2:15 pm

evanonut

i'd bang my head off the wall, but it doesn't seem worth it for one word.

2:15 pm

mtnjock

evan - very cool about the job! and look at the caps in my last post.

2:16 pm

evanonut

mtnjock, ... you sly devil you!

2:16 pm

evanonut

i shall remember if ever your case comes across my desk

2:19 pm

mamabear

Eeshi - are you there?

2:19 pm

mtnjock

2:20 pm

Eeshi

'm here big mama

2:20 pm

Eeshi

i meant, what's up little mamabear??

2:20 pm

evanonut

hmmm, you'd be a client? you kind of need to be a company owner for that. haven't you ever been investigated mtnjock

2:21 pm

Lupe613

Hello fellow babblers. Been watching the Sox rally...... how's everyone doing today. Happy Friday!

2:23 pm

evanonut

ah lupe, i'm feelin bad for those astros

2:24 pm

Lupe613

evenonut - as they've said in Chicago for the last 80+ years: "maybe next year..."

2:24 pm

mama77

it takes me so long and a lot of mental energy to get about a third of the words every day. Do you all have jobs or are you all super intellectual?

2:24 pm

Tbug

hi all! :)
any1 have a clue for the uh's?

2:25 pm

evanonut

mama 77, i'm an idiot, only ever get half, and i work, just not any more today...mental health day.

2:25 pm

Siouxz

Mammabear, Huh?

2:26 pm

mtnjock

evan - once about 10 years when I applied to work at FedEx. Got the job.

2:26 pm

Lisabex

ditto for me mama77. I'm still trying to figure out the codes half the time and others are thanking the clue givers mere seconds after receiving the clues. Wondering if there are any fakers out there...:)

2:26 pm

Judi

Gasp! I'm done. Been a while since I finished one.

2:26 pm

mama77

today is friday - i've worked 7 days full time. how on earth can I get all the words. Help!

2:27 pm

Lupe613

don't fell bad Mama77 - I usually only finish the smaller puzzles - but it's so much fun in here I subject myself to mental torture trying to finish the bigger puzzles (to no avail).

2:27 pm

mtnjock

Tbug - the uh are the ul but with an h thrown in!

2:27 pm

Schroeder

Having brain drain on the last 19, hoping food will help

2:27 pm

Lisabex

ah, I'm in good company, Lupe613

2:27 pm

evanonut

ah mtnjock, might have been my company did that, i know we do postal. i don't do postal though, i do department of defense. much more fun, that one.

2:28 pm

mtnjock

go Judi, go Judi, here is your glass of champagne or would you like a jack and coke along with me?

2:28 pm

Lupe613

LOL Lisabex :-)

2:28 pm

mamabear

Evanonut - being a Sox fan, I am overjoyed at their long awaited victory for the city, however, I also feel sympathy for the Astros. But they have to be happy they just got to play in it this year - their first time EVER!!!!

2:29 pm

mtnjock

now as senior tech, I do interviews and background checks for all potential new hires in my department (I am a computer geek)

2:29 pm

Tbug

i've only been playing a little over a week... find it extremely helpful after finding what i can to print the two letter list... mark off what i got and get clues from the alphabetical order

2:29 pm

lola100

Hey coosin, are you pouring the champers tonight?! :)

2:29 pm

mama77

Lupe613 and Lisabex - I can connect with you. Can you understand how these people get such wonderful scores when my brain is absolutely drained achieving only one third of their scores?

2:29 pm

evanonut

right you are mamab - they'll go down in history as the first astros team ever to lose in the world series. they lost rather completely too!

2:29 pm

CATHB

mama77 - dont worry I am the same..I work full time (no access to babble in work) so only usualy manage to play for an hour or so each night.have only ever finished 2 !!!!!.its just the fun of it

2:29 pm

Siouxz

mammabear: First time our Astros have gotten so far! We're just happy for an excuse to party...that'll be a Jack and water, please.

2:30 pm

Schroeder

evanonut glad to hear to don't go postal....oh sorry that was do postal

2:30 pm

Lupe613

very PC of you mamabear. I just ran in high heeled boots from my office to catch the motorcade and waive like a child at the Sox players. I figure I make a fool of myself all the time for no good reason, may as well do it for a good cause.

2:30 pm

mtnjock

Well yes, been waiting for you to come back... We need our Julie McCoy to get us started, here's your glass sweetie... Let me pour you a tall one.

2:30 pm

Tbug

tyvm mtn :)

2:31 pm

lola100

Aaah, thank you coosin, need one of those :)

2:31 pm

Lupe613

mama77 - just keep trying and hope that the next puzzle is a small one.

2:31 pm

mamabear

mama77 - i finished my first puzzle over 50 words yesterday. 153 words. but I was up until midnite!!! Are you using the crutches? Like clues on the log and a2zwordfinder and google? If I tried to just get them on my own totally, I would be in a strait jacket.

2:31 pm

mtnjock

finished about 30 minutes ago, decided to pour for everyone in your absense...

2:31 pm

evanonut

schroeder...worry not, wouldn't care. besides, yours is a bit lower investigation, much easier.

mtnjock, isn't it cool the things you find out. well somettimes, sometimes you just want to throw up.

2:32 pm

mama77

Lupe613 what are the smaller puzzles?
CathB Hello How long did it take you to finish 2 games when you work full time

2:32 pm

Lupe613

Hola Lola!! Thank goodness - I need a drink to quench my thirst after that humiliating run...

2:32 pm

mamabear

mtnjock - what are we drinkiin? I'm ready!!!!

2:32 pm

Lupe613

puzzles with less than 100 words...... at least I consider them "smaller"

2:32 pm

Lisabex

so sad to say that I share an office w/Siouxz and together we usually only get about a third of the words - two brains... half the words.. very little work happenin'...

2:33 pm

kristin

Cosmo's anyone?

2:33 pm

evanonut

mamab - it's five o clock somewhere

2:33 pm

mtnjock

tell me about it, there was one that I was sure would be a perfect addition to a team, and then I saw his records and well.... you understand.

2:33 pm

lola100

Well done coosin! And thanks! Can you take my place for a while longer? Haven't finished yet :)

2:33 pm

Lupe613

I find that I am practicing monkey typing more and more.

2:34 pm

mtnjock

my dog smiles.... it cracks me up

3:00 pm

ooops - let me rephrase - think big big monkeys with the last 2 letters reversed..... maybe i shouldn't mix evanonut's goood pills with mtnjock's goooood drinks

3:00 pm

CATHB

mama77 - had a lamumba last week in pollensa...very nice with warm choclate milk..the only thing was it took 2 bottles of cocao to dilute it enough to drink!!!..depends on the brandy

3:00 pm

Bori... that is a cute name... might have to steal that oneday

3:01 pm

Jera

I'd rather scoop cat poop than step in dog poop... or have to *gag* pick it up after following them around to watch them do their business. But that's just me.

3:02 pm

evanonut

good pills do not go well with good drinks

good tip mtn, you bring those clues right down to my level - so do you mama, but i only saw one cause i mixed those good pills with good drinks

3:02 pm

Meisa

It's the funniest thing ever. He totally chases the dog and stands on his hind legs and just slaps him silly. Good entertainment.

3:02 pm

mamabear

evanonut - did you get the ap?

3:02 pm

mama77

ScoutsMom - obviously a girl after my own heart. French brandy is not the same. Got to be Spanish only. French brandy served in this way can make you cross! (angry)

3:03 pm

Tbug

thx... u welcome to "steal" it anytime!
aurora borealis... aurora to hard to say... sounds like i'm howling myself, so went with borealis, bori for short

3:10 pm

mamabear

Bugzy - you're not obscene - I've heard of that before. I was going to ask for a Sex on the Beach!!!

3:11 pm

mtnjock

MAMABear, no one just asks for A Sex on the Beach, you have to have several if you are going to do it right!

3:11 pm

Jera

Hold my order for a pina colada in 20 minutes... I think I'll need it...

3:11 pm

mtnjock

I could always do Pink Panties as well!

3:11 pm

Meisa

I want to live on a farm with horses and all that good stuff, but then you can't live on the beach where I live. My dog is a cattle dog, bought him from cow farm. I don't think he could herd to save his life. He's little slow. (mentally) likes to bark at leaves and such.

3:11 pm

Bugzy

Hackerty - sorry to hear about your beag. I love that name, Curious George, for a beagle, how perfect!
A friend has a beagle named Chase, which I love too.
(I have 2 beagles myself - Bugsy and Sprite)

3:11 pm

Yes, me too hackerly, losing a loved pet is tough...

3:12 pm

evanonut

3:13 pm

mtnjock

Hey, I need a relief bartender, who's up for it? I gotta run an errand...

3:13 pm

Meisa

Yes, bear warnings are good. No bears on the beach, good trade off.

3:13 pm

mamabear

evanonut - thanks for the warning!!! I'll have to watch out for your dog if I ever come visit you!!! Bear that I am

3:14 pm

Tbug

my dog lets me know when the cats are fighting and dug a den in the backyard 10+feet long

3:14 pm

Bugzy

allright, mtn... I think I'm setting myself up for something here, but what's in a Pink Panty??

3:14 pm

hackerly

3:16 pm

evanonut

3:17 pm

kristin

Evanonut is it just a coincidence that there is a player called Meisa or is your cat playing babble too?

3:17 pm

GreyWoulf

They just kicked me out of work to save on hours. So I'll take a double of what everyone else is having.

3:17 pm

Lupe613

3:18 pm

kristin

sorry for the double post - computer problems, I thought I read your cat Meisa hurt your dog, but maybe I missed something - sorry

3:18 pm

Meisa

Kristen, Is that your cats name? I could be a cat, laying around getting my tummy rubbed all day. Not a bad life, except no babble to make the work day less suckey. No really, My parents are strange and I ended up with Chameisa, (meisa for short) to hard to pronounce other wise. Cha-me-sa.

3:18 pm

evanonut

who? the anti-type? that would be chocolate milk

3:18 pm

Tbug

Mama77 - its sunny but not even 60 degrees outside - however I am getting ready to leave work and will warm myself up with some cocktails - cheers all, until tomorrow

3:27 pm

Meisa

No sunning for me (redhead/ pale skin) and it's kinda yucky here, waiting for the rain. Hopefully it comes now so my daughter doesn't have to trick or treat in the rain.

3:28 pm

ScoutsMom

evanonut, my Boy is swedish--that's what the swedes say when they toast, apparently. I may not be spelling it right. if not, don't ever ever tell him I invoked the mother tongue incorrectly.

3:28 pm

evanonut

good girl meisa, a credo my hubby should have followed.

3:28 pm

Tbug

Any clues on the missing one - please.

9:30 pm

mamabear

hey torgone? Notice anything different about me???

9:31 pm

JeeWhiz

sk5/18 a chewing tobacco

9:31 pm

mamabear

your missing sk is s + what santa leaves in your stocking if you're not good

9:32 pm

JeeWhiz

Mamabear, did you not indicate that you were a female on your profile?

9:32 pm

Dianne

JW and mamabear - I just got it - thanks for all the help.

mamabear - you look great!!!!

9:33 pm

torgone

mamabear! You grew an icon! Very nice!

9:33 pm

mamabear

JW - I noticed that too - went back in - I forgot to check that little box now I have a pink purse too!!!!!

9:36 pm

mamabear

thanks torgone - yeah, it's been 2 weeks - thought it was time to make myself legal.

9:38 pm

eggtoni

Hi all. I am not very good at this, but
I keep coming back.

9:42 pm

mamabear

eggtoni - there is no good, there is no bad in babbleonia.
hey torgone - you missed a good party this afternoon!! I'm still cleaning up the bubble residue in the jacuzzi

9:43 pm

JeeWhiz

Mamabear, you have inspired me to try to get an icon too...still work in progress.

9:44 pm

Kimm

Hello everyone! I'm back from jury duty. I only need one more. Any clues on sn 5/18? Pleeeeease?

9:44 pm

mamabear

I always wanted to inspire someone!!! It's cute although I must admit I am not a cat person.... I can't decide if I'm happy with mine yet... such important decisions we face in life....

9:44 pm

mamabear

sn 5/18 is a slithery thing.......

9:45 pm

Kimm

Thank you mamabear!

9:46 pm

torgone

Heya eggtoni - As somebody once said: "The play's the thing."
mamabear - I usually miss the party ..

9:47 pm

mamabear

still have some leftovers - would you care for a slippery nipple or sex on the beach????

9:48 pm

torgone

Yes, and yes ..

9:48 pm

eggtoni

Always tryin to improve the vocab.

9:49 pm

mamabear

mamabear pours 2 shotglasses for torgone..... *cheers*

9:49 pm

eggtoni

YUM! Slippery nipples!

9:50 pm

mamabear

would you care for one eggtoni????? *mamabear pours another shotglass for eggtoni*

9:51 pm

torgone

That is one thing Babble will do: Fill your brain with a ton of arcane, obscure, and obsolete words you will NEVER use or even see in modern writing and conversation .. Yay Babble!

9:52 pm

torgone

Oh, you meant the drinks ...

9:53 pm

eggtoni

Thx Mama.

9:53 pm

mamabear

feeling a little frisky my fang-ed friend?

9:53 pm

eggtoni

Thx Torgone.

9:54 pm

torgone

Always ..

9:54 pm

ceejai

If things are always so "arcane and obscure", maybe that is why some of us are always doomed to be nothing more than mediocre!

9:55 pm

mamabear

shall I refill the jacuzzi for a late nite dip?

9:56 pm

torgone

The fun thing about Babble is that you don't have to know the words .. Using the second letter/points list, you can monkey type letter combinations till a word pops up ..

9:56 pm

mamabear

ceejai - mediocrity is allowed, not predestined

9:57 pm

ceejai

To "jacuzzi" twice in one day - isn't that a bit like sloppy seconds?!

9:57 pm

torgone

I could SO use some hot tub time right now .. I feel like a stubbed toe ..

9:58 pm

Dianne

ceejai - mamabear cleaned it up after last night free for all :)

9:59 pm

ceejai

Believe me, this "monkey" has definately learned that trick - ever since I saw the term mentioned here some time ago! Love the phrase!

9:59 pm

mamabear

Dianne- but of course - nice and sparkling with brand new bubbles. Oh, and I see you joined the pro ranks also!! More of my inspiration spilling forth?

10:00 pm

Eva

I'm missing 1 measly pi5/14 and feel like I've monkey typed everything, but have obviously missed it! Send a poor woman to sleep....any clues much appreciated.

10:00 pm

mamabear

Eva - pi + a friend

10:00 pm

Dianne

mamabear - I thought the stats list might help me since I'm Bab anon deprived. How do I get a pretty picture?

10:01 pm

JeeWhiz

Mamabear, we honored you since you had such a nice party for all.

10:01 pm

chiefexec

eva, I'm told it's a fig tree

10:01 pm

torgone

pi5/14 = "A fig tree (Ficus religiosa) native to India, having broadly ovate leaves with a long terminal projection. It is regarded as sacred by Buddhists. Also called bo tree"

10:01 pm

Eva

Thank you, thank you, Mamabear!!!!!

10:02 pm

mamabear

Dianne - I got mine from Google Images.

10:02 pm

Eva

And everyone else! A fig tree. Who would have thunk it?

10:03 pm

mamabear

JW - you are most kind *mamabear blushes and lowers head in humbleness*

10:07 pm

mamabear

OK ... torgone or other knowledgeable pro - what can I do now that I couldn't do before besides my nifty stat list?

10:12 pm

chiefexec

never heard of tu/4 before

10:13 pm

torgone

You can bask in the self-satisfied glow of your own smug superiority .. OR, enjoy sharing personal info with other pro Babblers, OR feel happy you contributed the cost of a Happy Meal to keep our little time-waster alive ..

10:13 pm

Dianne

I've never heard of half of the words in this game.

10:17 pm

nenaluli

can i have some help for fa 6/33 please?

10:17 pm

mamabear

chiefexec - according to dictionary:
To overturn. Often used with over: You're about to tump that thing over.

10:18 pm

torgone

fa6/33 = A dry measure in Spain and Spanish America, varying from 1? to 2? bushels; also, a measure of land.

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Folks, Kristianna has gone to sleep and I am finish up and socialize

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

I am back to finish...
Boy, can you tell sleep dep is setting in?

10:19 pm

mamabear

welcome back GW!!!! Need any help?

10:20 pm

Charm

Hey, MamaBear - like the cute icon!

10:21 pm

mamabear

torgone - and where does this "sharing of personal information with other pro babblers" take place?

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

Always... oh, you mean word wise. I have seven left.
let's start with both sa 5's

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

BTW, I love the new look, MAMA

10:23 pm

Dianne

Sa 5/10 - think halo
Sa 5/12 - think speak

10:23 pm

Charm

Sa5/10 - not a sinner but a *****.
Sa5/12 - verb used often in the bible for speak; quoth the raven...

10:24 pm

mamabear

Thanks Charm!!!!
GW - thought you didn't notice!!!! I got my hair cut too - do you like it??? LOL
now down to business - the sa 5's...
sa*** - when someone dies who has lived a really good life they become one of these (so the story goes)
the other sa 5 - if someone speaks in the Bible - this word is used

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you Charm & Dianne, bloody obvious when the sign is there

10:25 pm

Jammersbabe

Yeah!!! Got 'em all!

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Now what kind of man would I be if I didn't notice the little things, MAMA?

10:26 pm

mamabear

WTG Jammersbabe!!!!!!

10:26 pm

Charm

y/w. The fun, and self-satisfaction, really kick in when you get there without the signposts!

10:26 pm

mamabear

GW - a typical one????

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Congrats Jammer!

10:27 pm

Charm

MamaBear, I was not going to touch that one!

10:27 pm

chiefexec

how many words are there?

10:28 pm

mamabear

162 words

10:29 pm

torgone

mama - Should have said sharing personal info with EVERYbody .. Actually, the stats panel can save a lot of word counting, especially on big puzzles ..

10:30 pm

mamabear

okie doke - actually the main thrill for me was choosing an icon!!!!!!!

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

The real question is: What is the definition of typical?

Actually, my next question is: help with the uh's, please?

10:32 pm

Charm

Uh5 - "One of a body of horse cavalry that formed part of the Polish, German, Austrian, and Russian armies."
Uh6 - pl.

10:32 pm

mamabear

uh's - uh + of **** and of sea.... except without the last consonant and then its plural

10:32 pm

Dianne

I am so technaramous - I don't have the faintest idea how to get and place an icon - I can't even cut & paste!

10:33 pm

mamabear

Diane - techna....... geeeezzzzzzzzzzz. that's like a te 12/6005 pointer!!!!

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks again, MAMA I have one to go!
I'm going to try to get it on my own before I ask again, tho

10:34 pm

Dianne

mamabear - maybe it will be in the next puzzle.

10:34 pm

mamabear

here if ya need me, GW

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't I know it ;)

10:35 pm

mamabear

*wink*

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Hoody Hoo!!
Three in a row complete!

10:38 pm

Dianne

Grey - congrats - that's something I've never done!

10:38 pm

Charm

Way to go, GreyWoulf!

10:38 pm

mamabear

WTG GW.. .... .... but now we are both finished.... what shall we do?

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, I owe it all to clean living and not so clean thinking

10:40 pm

torgone

Yay GreyWoulf!

10:40 pm

mamabear

a good combination GW, doesn't get you in as much trouble as the other way around!!!

10:40 pm

Charm

Beware, GreyWoulf. Sounds as if MamaBear would like to lead you down a primrose path.
I've always wondered what it is about primroses which make them so dangerous to virtue????

10:42 pm

mamabear

Not me... this bear is harmless. but is known to give bear hugs on occasion.

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

I think bec primroses want you to think they are all nice and proper (prim, if you will)... all the better to shred you with the thorns you don't see

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

And this woulf is known to accept bearhugs on occasion

10:44 pm

wisedoggy

Hey there. I am brandnew here....How is this game different from boggle?

10:44 pm

Charm

Nope, nope. Primroses don't have thorns. Gotta be some other, sinister, reason....

10:46 pm

mamabear

wisedoggy - it's really pretty much the same as Boggle - you can click on the rules up at the top right hand corner

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

well, wisedoggy, the key difference is that we all want to see each other finish the board. We are only truly scoring against ourselves, not others

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

See, that's what the primroses WANT you to believe.

10:47 pm

mamabear

I'm not sure I'm liking this being compared to a primrose stuff....... I am neither thorny nor sinister

10:48 pm

Charm

primroses have ulterior motives?

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry, MAMA, just enjoying playing with someone else's mental blocks for achange. No insult intended

10:50 pm

Charm

No, no, MamaBear, not comparing you to anything. Just going where the stream of consciousness takes me....

10:50 pm

mamabear

I understand GW...... My response to wisedoggy was more geared toward how to play rather than how to score. Your point was a very important difference that I overlooked......

10:51 pm

mamabear

OK Charm... I wish I could help you get an icon up and running, it's a very easy thing to do, but rather difficult to explain in a chat log!!!!

10:52 pm

Charm

Not to worry, MamaBear. Not having an icon doesn't bug me in the least.

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

I have the real answer re: primroses. Apparently, the primrose used to be a focus plant for lust/domination spells. Merely being in the presence of the flower while working a spell would allow one to dominate the will of their target. Thanks to my lady for the info.

10:54 pm

Charm

Thank you, GreyWoulf. That is worth learning!

10:54 pm

Dianne

How do I get a bunch of them?

10:55 pm

mamabear

GW - thanks for the non-puzzle related knowledge!! I did not know that - and I work in the flower industry!!!

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Now, now Dianne, you don't want to go there. By dominate, I mean TOTAL control. The object has no free will, and the bad karma you accumulate will bite you so hard, you will feel it for a looooong time.

10:57 pm

pbr

i'm getting better at this -- 126 words for the day

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

11:09 pm

Dianne

Mangaged to get most of the hints but uhhhh, no clue what these things are....:) This is fun. I willl come back when I am less tired. Screen swimming in front on my eyes doesn't help. 'night all.

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

wa4 is salary
wa5 is plural of same
wa4 is what a dog does with his tail
wa4 sounds like a boys name (think Wa----'s World)
wa4 to pause
wa4 a flying stinging insect

GreyWoulf

You fought the good fight wisedoggy
Rest well and we'll see you soon

11:17 pm

arleneehm

11:17 pm

mamabear

good nite wisedoggy!!! nice to meet you!!!

pbr

I've made it to 130 -- that's all for tonight. Been playing this game about a week--it is rather addictive!!!

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

fa5/16 is the fa4/7 you have with an extra E and the other 4/7 is the singular

11:24 pm

GreyWoulf

No, I'm hanging out right now to help out and enjoy the banter. But I have to get some real sleep tonight. I can only go with 3 hours or less for about 4 days before I become a danger to others.

11:26 pm

mamabear

Tbug - it went well.. although my voice is rather hoarse for the wear..... but worth it!!!

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

So, anybody need any help?

11:27 pm

mamabear

My thoughts exactly GW, getting rather bleary eyed myself.

11:28 pm

mlk

I could use some clues for the kh's, since you're offering

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, MAMA, you said last night that these wee hours are not your typical hours of functionality.

11:29 pm

mamabear

kh** - not a whole but split in 2
kh** - Gengis **** and the plural

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

kh** - variant spelling for coffee stimulant

11:30 pm

mamabear

I'm impressed GW - you do remember the little things!!! You are correct, it is not. However, I was off work today which accounted for the late nite last nite and tomorrow being the coveted weekend, well, there you have it!!!!!

11:31 pm

11:43 pm

mamabear

Well, I think I am going to go hibernate.... having difficulty focusing.... last call for clues!!!!!! Anybody??

Usually it takes me a few hours to get it all. I do a bit in the morning, a bit in the afternoon, etc. Except when they are the short ones, around 50 words or so. Then I try knocking them out early, even if I'm bored the rest of the day! :)
