And you?

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

Just missed. I got 300 and am quite happy wth myself

12:10 am

Uneaixoise

w7/48

12:10 am

sprite

That's great! Actually, I think the urge to absolutely having to find those few last words is quite neurotic behavior :D

12:11 am

sprite

Ah, this grid has at least one word that will appear in the word list, but would be beeped in the chatlog.

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

great clue, sprite!

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

you saw that too, huh?

12:12 am

ohromujici

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze, you showoff

12:17 am

harpjane

Actually, so far I've found two words that would probalby be bleeped. Ones a noun or verb, the other is the past tense.

12:18 am

Blaze

Really niot showing off at all they just bug me... I have to get them out of the way.... the J's are the same....LOL

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

12:37 am

Blaze

12:39 am

Norad

Blaze

12:45 am

Paddytt

Morning Blaze. Thank you for that... I'd missed that one.

12:46 am

Blaze

you are very welcome.....good morning to you

12:48 am

ohromujici

Good night, all. I am crawling out of the chatroom and trying to avoid eyecontact because I only got 62 so far. I think a good night's sleep will improve my babbling...hopefully. : )

12:49 am

Norad

KNG, you there?

12:49 am

Norad

yea

12:50 am

Blaze

ohromujici

G'nite Greywolf. Happy babbling to you.

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

Only for a few more minutes
I have to be up early too *pouting*

G'nite Norad

1:02 am

stillcrazy

I'm off to bed. See you all soon.

1:04 am

vicky blank

awesome- hobbit land is there :) that makes me happy

1:04 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite stillcrazy. catch you later

1:17 am

sprite

Back... had to get the kids fed and off to school :)
How many years before they realise they have own brains that they can use? Can you believe my son almost went swimming without a towel?

1:21 am

sprite

Blaze: yes, I found it. Was oblivious to the 8, of course, but the existance of 2 strategically placed Ss is starting to dawn on me. :)

1:24 am

GreyWoulf

sprite, even before I became a father I watched kids the most amazingly boneheaded stunts

1:26 am

sprite

I should be used to it after 9 years, but I still am baffled by the incredibly stupid things they can do. And it is not that they ARE stupid. It's just that they do not think, lol.

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

exactly, they haven't learned how to think logically. I read an article about a year ago where scientists had determined that neural pathways don't finish developing until our mid to late 20's -- explains alot doesn't it?

1:29 am

sprite

LMAO!
If that is true, it certainly explains a lot! It should teach me to stop trying, at least, for another 11 years ;)

1:31 am

GreyWoulf

Well, don't stop trying -- after all, even if we don't see results, the seeds are planted and eventually bear fruit

1:32 am

sprite

That's so true. I am always pleasantly surprised to learn how well-behaved my kids are... when at someone else's place :) Somehow our education must have rubbed off on them, though we hardly notice at home.

1:34 am

GreyWoulf

I think it's the whole comfort factor thing. We always act differently in our own territory where we know everything that's going on (presumably) than in areas where others are obviously in control

1:36 am

sprite

Yeah, and as a parent you should be satisfied with giving your kids enough tools to handle themselves in such less-comfortable surroundings, I think. Oh well, I nag, but I am proud of them as well.

1:37 am

GreyWoulf

If you didn't nag you wouldn't be a good parent. Nothing boggles my mind more than parents who want to be buddies with their children. Parents are leaders and guides, not buddies.

1:40 am

sprite

You are so right! I have friends of my kids here all the time and they all seem so glad to find a place where the rules are strict and clear. I am always in for fun, but my rules apply... at all times. Seems like they are much more comfortable with that than at home, where they have a say in everything.

1:43 am

sprite

F7/40 x 2 and F7/44

1:44 am

GreyWoulf

That is what other parents I have talked to have said as well. Much as kids rebel against rules, they definitely are happier to know that there is a structure to existence.

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

I've only got one f7/40 so far. However my word count is at 139, how about you?

1:46 am

sprite

I sometimes think that kids just get too much responsibility if they are in charge. They shouldn't have, they should be kids and feel safe and relaxed knowing that grownups are taking care of things. That should teach them it can be done... so they will take responsibility when it is their turn to be grownup.

1:46 am

sprite

129 words found, almost half done.

1:48 am

sprite

E8/55
A7/28

1:48 am

M3

how many words today?

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

Too bad society doesn't agree. With all the emphasis on making money, and punishing people for being poor, kids get forgotten, except as another set of hands to help make ends meet

1:48 am

sprite

261, M3

1:49 am

M3

thanks sprite

1:50 am

sprite

Only too true, GreyWoulf. And I do believe that ruins future society as well. Who hasn't been able to be a proper kid, has a hell of a time becoming a proper grownup.

1:52 am

sprite

i7/28-8/40 combo

1:52 am

GreyWoulf

I agree with that statement wholeheartedly.
.

2:01 am

GreyWoulf

OK, I have got to go to bed. It's been great talking with you sprite. I got the i7/8 as well. Only 115 to go!

Good hunting
*hugs*
TTFN

2:02 am

sprite

T8/40
W7/48
T7/28 x 3 and T7/32

2:02 am

sprite

WTG, GreyWoulf. I enjoyed our chat :)
Sleep well.

2:03 am

sprite

Make that T7/28 x 4

2:28 am

tracicle

You guys are depressing me. My almost-three year old son scares and frustrates me on a daily basis as it is. :)

2:31 am

sprite

:)
You'll manage, tracicle. We all do. And I found it becomes easier, once they get to the state they can be reasoned with. Of course they can think out more things to frustrate you too, then... but still, I am glad my kids are at an age they can be talked with.

2:35 am

tracicle

Always good to hear from someone who's been there. It's a been a particularly tough week -- which is why I haven't been babbling for a bit -- so anything positive is a good thing right now!

(Yet they're so cute, even at their most evil...)

2:39 am

sprite

I think that is because you see how incredibly brave they are. Can you imagine, making the person you depend on for life mad as hell? They do it all the time, they are heroes ;)
And 3 is a tough age, I know. Hang in there and know that all the repeating you do will pay off in the end. ;)

2:40 am

Today's biggies:

The bottom right G = none

3:00 am

brook_hawke

3:02 am

SummerBreeze44

That's great...as some have said before me, it does get easier.

3:04 am

lshult

anyone got a clue for Q8. I feel like i'm soo close, but just can't see it!!

3:07 am

SummerBreeze44

Sorry...I'm still looking also.

3:08 am

lshult

how many Q's are there?
I have 8 so far + 4 sq's

3:08 am

Patrice

For the Q8, extend the first Q5.

3:08 am

SummerBreeze44

Nine..good luck

3:10 am

Patrice

Any ideas for the tr8/40?

3:11 am

lshult

got it thanks, I knew it had to be that obvious, just couldn't see it.

3:11 am

SummerBreeze44

Patrice
Thank you

3:11 am

sprite

For the Q8 (and some other biggies), think of an ending that means something is a little that, but not very much so. :)

3:11 am

sprite

Tr8/40: like the BeNeLux.

3:15 am

SummerBreeze44

Thanks Sprite...got the Q/8

3:50 am

Patrice

The last ST (5/10) CANNOT find it. Is it there, do you know? There seems to be a little "hiccup" at that point on the stats in BrandyJack's post.

3:54 am

Haz1558

Patrice, I think, but am not sure that the word you are looking for is used most often in a medical context. Try thinking about what you would camp in (after the s)

4:01 am

Patrice

Thanks very much, Haz! I was looking in the wrong alpha sequence.

4:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. It's all too easy to go the wrong way!

4:06 am

kungfuboy

any clue on e8...please......

4:11 am

Haz1558

First part to do with horses, second part sounding like former Spanish money

4:15 am

kungfuboy

thanks, Haz.....u rock!

4:16 am

Haz1558

Gosh, I've never been told that before!

4:20 am

kungfuboy

"u rock"......it's what Amerian youths say to people who are great.....

4:21 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know, but being 47 means I don't often get that accolage - I accept it with thanks!

4:21 am

Haz1558

Accolade, accolade

4:24 am

spatialbean

Patrice, where are you in Italia?

4:26 am

Alleyn

Morning! One hour only spare ...clues welcome

4:27 am

kungfuboy

I learn to talk like my teenage daughter ... :-) Got to get some sleep now..... Good night from L.A.

4:27 am

Haz1558

Goodnight, the British day-shift is just beginning.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - it looks like a nice grid today. Don't forget your archaic words for have.

4:33 am

Patrice

spatialbean -- I'm near Napoli for a few years, husband's in the Navy, retiring next summer, home to WA state.

4:34 am

spatialbean

very nice ~:o)

4:35 am

Alleyn

I always enjoy a "Q"

4:39 am

Haz1558

Some of the q's are stranger than others...

4:43 am

Linda0

wow! found 100 words without too much effort. i expect the rest will be hard to find now!

4:48 am

Alleyn

I'm only on 52 but I try to do it alphabetically backwards. Possibly a really slow route???????

4:48 am

Dianne

Does anyone have the 4 sh4 words? Are they all sh4/5?
I can't find the 4th one.

4:50 am

Eva

Good morning everyone.

4:52 am

Atalante

they are all sh4/5

4:55 am

Haz1558

Dianne the last sh 4/5 looks like it should be beginning a word that means high-pitched.

4:56 am

Dianne

Atalanta - I've got the naughty word, past tense of the naughty word and the fired - what one am I missing?

4:57 am

Atalante

the one Haz1558 just gave a clue for :)

4:57 am

ExWren

Am I being particularly thick, but I cannot, for the life of me, see the two tr4 words

4:58 am

Haz1558

The leaves are coming off what?

4:59 am

Dianne

Haz and Atalanta - Thank you.

5:01 am

Haz1558

Ex wren - for the other tr, put with reference to between two t's

5:04 am

Eva

Sprite- what is a BeNeLux?

5:06 am

Dianne

Having the worse time with the 4 letter words.
Sa4 - I have satisfy, garment and secure.
What one am I missing? TIA

5:07 am

elder

hello everyone, I am relatively new to this and past messages indicate what a clever group of people you all are. I have to leave soon and have been pulling hair out to locate t8/40 and i-40, any hints on offer.

5:09 am

Dianne

elder - welcome. the i 8 means to repeat.

5:11 am

Haz1558

Dianne - the other sa uses a different vowel at the end from the satisfy one. Sounds like a French composer.

5:11 am

ExWren

Thanks Haz, yes I was being thick!

5:12 am

mu

Hi everyone. It's a fair size game for Monday Eh? Just logged in to find a lovely clue, Thank you Dianne

5:14 am

tbear

hi Mu my favourite word so far is e4/

5:15 am

Dianne

Haz - thanks. I thought I had entered that word before - DUH.

mu - you are most welcome :)

5:15 am

tbear

sorry...e4/4 as on ____while

5:15 am

elder

Dianne, thank you -still llooking I must be particularly dense today.

5:15 am

Eva

Anyone else re benelux?

5:16 am

mu

Hi tbear not got that far yet. working through Brandyjacks stats. I seem to get on better that way.

5:16 am

tbear

Wake Up tbear!!!!!! should read as in

5:16 am

tbear

Eva...benelux as in countries

5:17 am

Dianne

Eve - I saw that clue a while ago but now I forget which word it was for.

5:18 am

tbear

Dianne...tr8/40 not that I have it

5:18 am

davetins

Eva TR8 3 plus one of your s/10s
usually an american expression

5:21 am

Dianne

Tr8 - if you were from the USA this might help -
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are called this
area but with a dash after the first 3 letters.

5:22 am

tbear

Dianne..ty

5:23 am

Eva

I'm feeling very dense! I googled benelux and it seems to be some sort of travel guide? Thank you so much Dianne! I have very few of the biggies so far - am obviously missing some crucial visual patterns.

5:24 am

tbear

tr6...french for sad

5:25 am

cathy22w

benelux? BElgium, NEtherlands, LUXembourg

5:25 am

Poo's Mom

Morning Cathy!

5:26 am

Eva

Thanks Cathy! Sorry for the provincialism.

5:26 am

cathy22w

morning! freezing cold here

5:27 am

Dianne

Eve - think "three" for the beginning.

5:27 am

dalmatian5

Where is home Cathy?

5:27 am

Poo's Mom

not too bad here (50s). One of those rare years with no snow before Halloween

5:27 am

cathy22w

no apology needed... was just clarifying benelux,, lol

5:29 am

cathy22w

good question, dalmation... if it's where the heart is, then right now it's England with my family... but physically I am living in north eastern pennsylvania

5:30 am

tbear

Eva have you got it yet??

5:31 am

dalmatian5

Great answer! Just trying to put some info together about regular members.

5:31 am

cathy22w

don't know what the temp is, poo's mom... all i know is a put socks and a sweatshirt on top of my pj's for the first time in a long time!

5:32 am

Poo's Mom

LOL cathy! I understand that all too well

5:33 am

elder

that's it for the time being, to return later, enjoy your day. bye for now

5:33 am

Eva

Yes, the New Jersey configuration gave it to me. Thanks for everyone's help. Now I'm struggling with the horsey thing. Anyone remember the powerdul movie with Richard Burton? I do miss him. I know I'm dating myself severely, but he was one of my first heart throbs.

5:33 am

cathy22w

poo's mom... i am so stubborn about switching the heating on... i know the day is coming though... lol

5:34 am

Paddytt

Good morning everyone.

5:34 am

cathy22w

morning paddy

5:35 am

Paddytt

What a way to spend a day off.... Babbling !!!! :-)

5:35 am

Eva

We are trying this year to heat almost entirely with wood, since the propane prices are so terrifying. But yes, lots of layers. Sometimes I think we should hold a Vermot fashion show consisting of nightgowns topped with sweatshirts, long underwear, accesorized with ski socks, mittens and boots.

5:37 am

Poo's Mom

Morning Paddy... LOL Eva!

5:40 am

Paddytt

Hi Poo's Mom, I see that you like to cross stitch. My little girl of 6 has a set and wants me to teach her? Is there an easy way to start or a site with a tutorial?

5:40 am

tbear

you guys forgot the most important winter accessory....a hot water bottle !

5:40 am

cathy22w

good idea eva... do you just arrange the piles of wood around the house and light them?

5:40 am

cathy22w

sorry... was my idea of a joke ;-)

5:40 am

Poo's Mom

LOL Cathy ~ We burn kerosene in our furnace. Cheaper than propane around here. The good part is I can schlep it home from the gas station if we need some.

5:41 am

cathy22w

we have no furnace.... just the regular heating

5:43 am

Poo's Mom

furnace is my regular heating....

5:44 am

cathy22w

well... we have the thing downstairs - but i think it heats the water? we brits call things a little differently so i sort of struggle with these conversations!

5:44 am

Eva

That's a great idea tbear!!! I have to admit to an unhealthy fixation with my down comforter. No problem with the joke Cathy(-:

5:46 am

Poo's Mom

Hi Paddy - not ignoring you. went to get coffee.... DMC has a website that should have basic instructions.

5:47 am

Paddytt

Thanks Poo's Mom. I've just Googled it & I can try and help the next time she stays :-)
I wont feel quite so useless then :-)

5:48 am

Poo's Mom

It's not difficult Paddy. I hope she enjoys it. I have gotten Poo hooked on it as well

5:50 am

Poo's Mom

I wondered about the language thing as well Cathy. I worked with a woman from England years and years ago. I've forgotten alot of what she taught me

5:51 am

Atalante

Paddy - you can get very basic xstitch kits which have plastic to sew on instead of aida or evenweave. Apparently that makes it easier to get stuff right all the time! There are loads of designs with that plastic stuff - including Disney, christmas cards etc

5:52 am

Paddytt

Thanks Atalante, that might be something for the Christmas list.

5:52 am

cathy22w

for the most part, i can talk/understand the vocab. here.. but now and again i get a bit of a problem, normally with technical things.

5:53 am

mu

Tbear I quite like the E8 word, Being a scrabble player I find the big words quite easy to find most of the time but I've never come across that one before. Still haven't spotted your fav yet

5:54 am

Poo's Mom

Paddy ~ It's great that you are interested in teaching her! Poo's dad is "invisible" most the time and then doesn't know what to do when he does see her....

5:55 am

Haz1558

Mu - a German would find that word first...

5:56 am

Paddytt

My Boo (Elise) is my life. I see her every week... she's my best friend. Sad I know but she brings me so much joy. She loves to know how I'm getting on at Babble.

5:58 am

tbear

working on that now Mu....big scrabble fan too....My mother bought me online scrabble disc but cant get seem to get online with it...very frustrating!! e4 e plus 3 consanants (can't spell today...isn't helping)lol

5:58 am

Eva

Could anyone give a bit more of a nudge in the right direction for the long horsey e word? I'm just not seeing it.

5:59 am

Haz1558

Eva - the first part is horsey as you say. The second part uses some of the former Spanish currency.

6:01 am

Poo's Mom

not sad at all Paddy - Poo (Meghan) and I are best friends as well (something of an accomplishment considering she's 17)

6:03 am

Eva

Okay...now any hints for the former spanish currency? The ones I googled dont work.

tbear I don't get to play much scrabble myself since my sister went back up North. Used to have the occasional game with my friend but not lately. I'm not really competitive but Have a drive to better my own best (sad isn't it) I've got the computer game but not the online one. Must get back to the babble as my son is going to throw me off the comp tonight as he wants to add some new gadget to it, so I must finish before he gets home.

6:08 am

tbear

Speak soon Mu...know the feeling,my daughters seem to think they have a claim on my laptop...having broken their own pc.....gl

6:10 am

Eva

thepixiepit.co.uk

7:03 am

hi joelgee, extend a qu5/16.

7:05 am

zoom

sorry, there are a few of those, i mean the strange one :)

7:05 am

joelgee

This may be pushing it, but I do have all the qu5/16s. Any ethical or moral issues with narrowing down a wee bit.

7:05 am

joelgee

should be a ? at end of last note

7:07 am

Patrice

Extend the 1st q 5/16 -- there was a good clue a few hours ago.

7:07 am

groovygranny

Happy Haloween ! how are we all this morning ?

7:08 am

zoom

joelgee - the one to extend is the qu5 that also pluralises to become a qu6

7:09 am

joelgee

zoom--
thanks. only missing q is the 8

7:10 am

joelgee

Hey, GG.

7:10 am

sandypops

7:12 am

sandypops

Thats right

7:13 am

sandypops

ish lol

7:13 am

zoom

joelgee - work on the first qu5 and extend it so that it becomes 'a bit strange/slightly weird'

7:14 am

joelgee

7:15 am

zoom

you're welcome - got to go now - happy hunting!

It just occurs to me, there should be a link to Babble FAQs; points, where word lists live, rules, things that get asked repeatedly.
Does anybody agree and if so, how is such a thing passed on to the good Dr?

Personally, I find your icon absolutely hilarious!!!! ;)

9:49 am

katiecat

is it me or is that a 4 letter word that brandyjack didnt include in his posting?

9:52 am

joelgee

mrcraig--
in gr4/7, for instance, first number=number of letters.
second number=number of points.

9:53 am

mrcraig

Cool - thanks!

9:53 am

shorty

it means first two letters 4= howmany letters 7= how many points

9:57 am

Question to babbler members is there an easier way to do the stats instead of keep looking back at the stat board and figuring which ones you have and don't have ?

9:58 am

torgone

Open a second window?

9:59 am

shorty

yeah I do that

9:59 am

stillcrazy

shorty.....print them?

9:59 am

katiecat

any ideas as to the 4 letter word that wasnt in brandyjacks listing?

10:00 am

shorty

OH good idea thanks

10:00 am

mamabear

shorty - I copy and paste the 2 letter list from BrandyJack's message in the babanon general log to an excel doc and cross them off as I get them. Would that help you?

10:00 am

torgone

When I'm down to trying to fill in missing words, I usually open a second window with the second letter list from BabAnon ..

10:00 am

joelgee

re: stats, I've gone low tech. I print out the 2nd letter list. For me, easier to check and cross off.

10:01 am

shorty

Yes that will help thanks alot everybody

10:01 am

joelgee

mamabear--
never thought of Excel. Is that better than just copying and pasting to Word or its like?

10:01 am

Trick or treat everyone

10:05 am

joelgee= I like excel better because I can give it gridlines - makes it easier to read, but Word would work just as well.

10:06 am

baggo

katie...my best advice would be to go on to the other numbers and by process of elimination come back to that...brandy posts the total points so that will help ya closer to the end...

10:06 am

Dachef--
Thanks. You helped me fish one out of the ocean of obiousness.

10:18 am

Schroeder

mamabear are you still on your completion streak?

10:18 am

joelgee

dachef--
just because I wonder about things; are you actually a chef?

10:19 am

baggo

joel it goes with your icon...the equ8 means horsetail...

10:21 am

Dachef

joelgee - nope,

I run a restaurant on the south coast of england - when I first started to work in restaurants and pubs my mates gave me the moniker, and it stuck. Now even my family call me dachef.

10:27 am

granadan

Joel, I asked once in case the dach was short for dachshund ;-)

10:28 am

ScoutsMom

schroeder, I also like your sheet. every time I see your name and icon I hear Charlie Brown in my head saying "I got a rock."

10:29 am

Minski

I love Scout's costume! Great picture!

10:29 am

baggo

scoutsmom, that is the cutest little devil I have seen...that is awesome...nice to see scout is going in it...it's a positive role model for beauty... :-)

10:30 am

joelgee

scoutsmom--
Is that Scout being a killer bee?

10:30 am

ScoutsMom

thanks! I just took it this morning. Now if she can just not get food and finger paint all over it at school today, we'll be all set to play at mtnjock's house tonight.

10:31 am

ScoutsMom

scout was a killer bee last year; I just got this year's costume uploaded for this icon (refresh if you're not seeing her little red devil costume and want to). I'm not very tech-savvy so it took me a while to resize.

10:31 am

joelgee

any relation between scout and the movie, "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

10:31 am

baggo

well all, i am outta here...found my vehicle on line, know my price now just gotta go there, hate car buying, and sorry if there are any carsales people on here...

10:32 am

Ah. Huge difference. Still adorable.

10:32 am

Dachef

and the award for the cutest l'il devil this halloween goes to......

10:32 am

ScoutsMom

yes; thank you for knowing that. her first name is actually harper (after harper lee)--her dad wouldn't let me name her scout so it was a compromise. now he's the only one that calls her harper; she's scout to everyone else.

10:33 am

10:38 am

mamabear

schroeder - nope! yesterday's whopper did me in. broke my streak...

10:38 am

ScoutsMom

thx, mtn and dachef--ah, we were all once those cute little devils, weren't we?

10:38 am

mtnjock

nope, I was always the sweet angel that I am... ;D

10:39 am

mtnjock

scout still gets the cutest little devil award! I have plenty of candy for her! Smarties as well!

10:39 am

ScoutsMom

NO CANDY!

10:40 am

mtnjock

how about a trip to the haunted house down the street?

10:42 am

ScoutsMom

yes, she can go there...but I don't know what'll happen if you load her up with sugar. she'd probably vibrate down the street...perhaps back in time.

10:43 am

mtnjock

smarties aren't candy, they are a nutrient!

10:46 am

Schroeder

Scouts mom she is adorable, makes me think back to when I could dress my little one up. At 14 she now frowns at the idea..

10:48 am

mtnjock

schroeder, you wouldn't believe how much scout made my weekend by actually saying my name (I have been shieve for a while now)! I don't even know if scoutsMom heard her say it, but it made my day!

11:23 am

Minski

I was thinking he was an Springer Spaniel but that breed would be too large to get onto a computer desk. The breeds must be related though.

He's really cute.

11:24 am

er bobsta are they related?

11:25 am

yup, they're both spaniels bubs.

I have to admit, I love ANJ's quote "Lost for words? www.playbabble.com Give your vocabulary insecurities :)"

11:25 am

Bubbles

thank you minski, he knows he's cute and like all males uses it to his advantage!!

11:25 am

I think springers and cockers are most closely related, but all spaniels are pretty similar

11:26 am

nukem...ar 4/4 is a what scottie was. it means butt

11:26 am

I don't know but they look so much alike I figured they must be. My friend has an English Springer Spaniel and if you put the pictures side by side you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The second vampire said, "I'll have a mug of blood"
The third vampire shook his head at his companions and said, "I will have a glass of plasma."
The barmaid wrote down each order, went to the bar and called to the bartender, "Two bloods and a blood light!"

GreyWoulf

It hasn't just been that, Sanky. The past few night being the weekend, there have been some great people around late night who otherwise have to work. I sometimes have trouble looking for words because I am having too much fun chatting!

6:58 pm

LUCKY

U2 nordina! sleep well

6:59 pm

PAV3

Lucky...it8 is pl of it7 if you couldn't read you'd be ill****, word means to do something again

6:59 pm

GreyWoulf

I need to find the thief who keeps stealing letters from my keyboard -- that's the 3rd time I have typed night instead of nights

6:59 pm

Sanky

Grey- that's too funny!!! Although I am quite addicted to this game, you will probably Never find me on too late at nite!!! Good for you that you can make it that long.

7:01 pm

groovygranny

rofl i'll have to shut the ringer off at night to keep playing .....

7:01 pm

nordina

thank you thank you Pav got given a clue similar today - but couldnt work it out - you are a life saver!!!

7:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, Sanky, but I tell you I crashed about two hours after I got to work this morning and it was rough going until I got to go home.

7:02 pm

nordina

Sanky

Gey-How hilarious is that???!!! Last nite, I slept for 13hours...hmmm-could it be this game?

7:04 pm

PAV3

night Lucky...sorry it took so long for me to read what you needed....

7:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Lucky, I told MAMABEAR last night, it's really not about the score. It's about the fact that you derive pleasure from the game unlike the majority of gameplayers who think that moving sprites and explosions make for a great game

7:06 pm

Sanky

Grey-how tru...but I am thinking of giving up for the evening. It's the best score I have had, but, it is MY best. Have fun, I'm done.

7:06 pm

nordina

i agree Grey!!!

7:06 pm

nordina

well done Sanky - cya

7:06 pm

GreyWoulf

G' nite Sanky, rest well

7:07 pm

groovygranny

Grey that is soo true . It's nice to come here , chat and have fun . Hubby plays delta force online whenever he's home so I hear gun fire , explosions all the time ... now I throw on the headphones, put on a cd and babble ........ it got to the point of having nowhere to go in the house where I didn't have to hear his game

7:07 pm

evanonut

hey now, i don't think it should be about judging, i think it should just be about us doing what we like.

7:09 pm

Sanky

Have fun all - tll tomorrow.

7:09 pm

groovygranny

thats true Evan .. he's a good guy so I dont mind him playing .. it's about all he does ...... I just crave peace and quiet at times lol

7:09 pm

groovygranny

nite sanky ! good talking to you

7:09 pm

evanonut

i crave peace too groovy, but i'll take my hubby's noise over the alternative!

7:10 pm

evanonut

oops, that looked nasty, it's not supposed to be, i swear.

7:10 pm

GreyWoulf

evanonut, if I come across as judgemental, I apologise. I don't mean to. It's just that I have encountered way too many people from teens to grown adults who can tell me all about the latest Halo or Rainbow Six game, but if I ask them about the latest book they have read, it's been over a year and they don't even remember the title!

7:11 pm

myownvenus

I just started Shalimar the Clown... very interesting

7:11 pm

groovygranny

rofl thats ok .... I know what you meant .... mines been wonderful for 25 yrs, I'v always known where he was and with whom just like he has with me so I don't mind that he plays .....

7:12 pm

evanonut

grey, i gotcha there. my nephews are video game geiuses, computer junkies, but they'll never sit an read a book with me. if i ever get to have kids, there will be no video games till they show a real interest in reading.

7:13 pm

EthieKid

Nordina, Gâ€™s:
1) excessive ornamentation, gaudy

7:13 pm

groovygranny

Evan I'll donate one of my 4 kids if you like lol they're alll potty trained and can do laundry !

7:14 pm

GreyWoulf

That's the gameplan with my daughter. So far it's working. She's only two right now, but she has her favorite books memorised and when I need quiet time (such as for Babbling) she would rather pretend to be reading her books than watch TV.

7:14 pm

EthieKid

sorry, i pasted the clues into notepad and they got all screwed up.

7:14 pm

PAV3

and for my niece and nephew's birthdays, we went to B & N and I paid for their reading material.. they're great students, but their parents don't always let them explore their creative side. Reading helps tremendously...

7:16 pm

groovygranny

it amazes me how many kids can't even pronounce words they see written

7:16 pm

evanonut

thanks groovy, hmm, maybe when my husband is done with cancer treatment, that'll be like a year. then they can do ALL my laundry! - - - ;-)

7:16 pm

GreyWoulf

This is what I love about this game! We all seem to be on the same page on some things. I was having a similar chat with sprite much earlier this am.

7:30 pm

ExWren

I'm fighting against the clock here, it's nearly 1.30am and still 41 words short. It's no good having a big total of words to find on a Monday when it's choir practise night, so I give in!
By the way, groovyg., you need a pair of reading glasses for working on the PC.
Nite all xxx

7:30 pm

Jera

So what am I missing, aren't there any finsihed lurkers who'd like to be helpful??

7:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey, Jera, do you anything planned for Samhain?

7:31 pm

Charm

Evening, all. Sorry, Jera, not paying attention. What are you looking for? Will be tuning in & out as I answer the door for ghosties, goblins, witches....

7:32 pm

Jera

Oh yes, indeedy, special ritual in the back yard at midnight... kinda chilly, though. Luv your icon, btw GreyWoulf... is that your jack-o-lantern?

7:32 pm

Jera

Looking for missing 7, please charm... see my list? I'm missing one...

7:32 pm

Jera

I have 16 of 17...

7:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't I wish, Jera. No I found it online. I havenn't carved a pumpkin in about 25 years and that was with my father doing all the work!

7:34 pm

Minski

Jera,
I think you are missing the RE7
Add Re to a TA5/10

7:35 pm

Jera

My husband & kids had such big plans for the pumpkin this year... including a wolf design! But alas, the actual work is much harder than they anticipated, so we ended up very traditional... triangle eyes & nose & jagged tooth grin...

7:36 pm

Jera

No, I have that one, Minski...

7:36 pm

Priscilla

Jera, you celebrate Samhain too? Anyone else here? Blessings to all!

7:36 pm

Minski

We didn't even carve ours this year. With all the lousy weather we've been having, Halloween just kindof got away from us this year.

7:37 pm

Minski

I can't help you then. I'm still missing 7 of them.

7:39 pm

Mary

Jera, there's an IT7/28

7:39 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Yep, that's what my first ever family pumpkin is like except it has ears and round eyes with eyebrows.

7:39 pm

mamabear

BOOOOOOO!!!!!!

7:40 pm

7:49 pm

GreyWoulf

ar7 I would describe as an undertalented overencumbered with ego dancer or singer

7:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera, I think you would fit in great with me and my lady. She is the ritualistic crone and I am the Magickal childe. This means she sometimes goes a little overboard on the ritual and I sneak up behind her and make rabbit ears.

7:52 pm

dalmatian5

Any hints on theNe 5/10 or the As 6/21? I am down to 15 words and struggling!!!!

OK I'll try not to get too frustrated.

8:38 pm

mamabear

Lazer - walk away from it and come back, words will pop right out atcha!

8:38 pm

Jera

My latest strategy is to do words just as I see them, not keeping count or anything, until it gets tought. Then I make my chart & find the big ones... then I start from the beginning. I'm in the last phase now, just finished the a's... I doubt I'll finish the puzzle tonight...

8:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Lazer - every night is a mad scramble towards the end for those who haven't finished to do so. The other day I missed by one word, but everyone pulled together to help me out. Soo don't hesitate to ask for hints. That's part of why we are here!

Charm

Diane - do you have the activity with thread & needle?

8:49 pm

Minski

I love any kids and those two make great kids. My brother in law was hoping for a boy but I'm not complaining. Having 3 neices is fine with me. B-i-L will get used to the idea by the time the baby's born.

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Enjoy your couple time, Jera

8:59 pm

scootermom

Ethie -- how do you know how many there are?? Is there some list somewhere/?

8:59 pm

mab

Eq8: last half is your se4, the one that ends with a vowel. First half means 'the same' as in one object is the same distance from another two objects, for ex.

9:00 pm

ohromujici

Aknitter:
eq8 is hard. I only got it after typing a billion words from a2z. Try this:
The first two letters are equ, as you know.
The next two letters are the 3rd person of the "to be" verb in the english language.
The last three letters are the 7th letter of the greek alphabet.

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Thaks, mab...um...which st7 might that be?
(I've been bouncing around, I'm not looking forward to figuring out which of the s's I'm missing)

9:00 pm

mab

Sorry. The sneaky one.

9:01 pm

EthieKid

I know there are tons. I'm going off the list BrandyJack posted on the message board, so the 2 I need are the 10th and 11th on "the list"

9:42 pm

nordina

our kids travel to Aussie at least once a year to go and stay with their mother for a holiday - i lived there for 3months but got homesick... it was nice tho

9:43 pm

nordina

LOTR certainly put us on the map didnt it hahaha i want to see the statue of liberty and go up the empire state building on Valentines day with my honey... :o)

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Ohrom, New York is a great place to visit, no true bias there (unless I am too - I lived on Long Island until last year), But Philly and environs are pretty good too!

9:44 pm

mamabear

9:45 pm

nordina

are you talking Philadelphia??? have heard quite abit about there - would like to visit there also

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

cybernan

You're welcome, mamabear

9:46 pm

nordina

after seeing Sleepless in Seattle have decided i need to go there too - oh what the heck - i might as well move over hahahaha anyone got a spare bed? LOL

9:46 pm

ohromujici

Nordina: as a New Yorker, I try to avoid tourist traps like I try to avoid the plague, however, I can't help but go up to the top of the empire state building every once in a while. It is the most beautiful view in the city.........

9:47 pm

cybernan

Don't know what other clue I could give Minski - but thinking on it.

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

I personally don't know much about cheaasesteak - but I have been able to find pizza comparable to NY here in Lansdale. As for seeing Philadelphia, nordina, it's only about 3+ hours away from NY depending on traffic

Need the ha 6/21 also.

I live in the land of 600 trickortreaters. Little town in Montana. All the kids who live in the country come to town. Some of my neighbors go to elaborate extremes, with sound effects and decorations. We just hand out glow sticks for 3 hours.

hi there everyone!

stillcrazy - how come you don't have a little beanie next to your flag?

11:57 pm

stillcrazy

I give up...how come?

11:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Thx, I seem to have been on this soapbox multiple times today - can't seem to shake it
Basic gist is that all we do when we finish is wait for the next puzzle so we can start again, so the true meaning to the game is in the solution process not the actual solving

11:57 pm

Dianne

go to your profile and put in your gender.

11:58 pm

stillcrazy

oh ok

11:58 pm

stillcrazy

I listed it already but it's not showing

11:59 pm

That's strange - try refreshing maybe that will do the trick.
