So I am wondering what the ratio of men to women playing this game is... just a curiosity factor... I have only seen two or three other men....is this is a reflection on my gender?

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

12:18 am

sprite

Well, don't try anoa. It's almost there ;)

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Schroeder, smallish one today (for a change)

12:18 am

stillcrazy

Hi Schroeder

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

There are a lot of almost words in this one!

12:19 am

cybernan

Looks like a toughie - got only 26 words on the first run through!

12:19 am

Schroeder

Haven't had a chance to finish the last few, work keeps getting in the way, like my odds with this one!!

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

only 14 here

12:20 am

sprite

And there I was, feeling proud that for once I did not forget that 'anoa' was a word... only to find it isn't here :)

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

That's ok, I tried ocean with the same result

I see the i6/27 shrub is back.

Many 7s for such a tight grid, but they are mostly weird words.

12:31 am

sprite

30 left and time to get my kids fed and ready for school. Back soon, happy hunting!

12:32 am

Schroeder

Bye sprite

12:32 am

GreyWoulf

So long sprite... I have to go to bed so I won't be here when you get back

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

So a fond good night to all

dorigirl9

This one sucks. :-(

12:39 am

Jera

happy New Year, everyone! How nice... a short one today!

12:39 am

Schroeder

Hi Jera

12:40 am

Jera

Oh no, I missed Grey Woulf...

12:40 am

Jera

Hi, Schroeder... oh good, I'm not the only one still incostume!

12:41 am

stillcrazy

Hi Jera

12:42 am

Schroeder

My daughter made this icon for me, not sure how to take it (at least we are the same size)

12:43 am

Jera

Hey stillcrazy!

12:44 am

Jera

I've been trying to get my daughter to draw me a picture for my icon... she gets nervous in front of an audience... but she' draw all day long... very fanciful!

12:46 am

sprite

So sorry to have missed your night hug, GreyWoulf... here's a good morning one for you, for later *hugs*

12:46 am

Schroeder

I found a whole bunch on my daughters computer, told her to come up with some more I could use. We will see at 14 it's hard to tell what she will do.

12:47 am

mab

Well look at everybody! Changed, every one, while I'm still in this silly orchid costume. Great icons.

Now, this grid....

12:48 am

mab

Oh dear, I forgot that I changed too.

12:48 am

sprite

I am the loyal kind. Haven't changed my icon since icons became part of this game.

12:48 am

Jera

Not me, I'm still in costume (although it's hard to tell sometimes)...

12:49 am

Jera

It's just as hard at 9 1/2, LOL!

12:50 am

mab

You are adorable, Jera. And Sprite, there is something comforting about your icon stability.

12:50 am

Schroeder

We need stable people like you around sprite

12:50 am

Jera

There... I feel like me again!

12:50 am

sprite

Comforting and stable... yes, I think I can live with that ;)
I love y

12:51 am

sprite

...your creativity, I wanted to say, when babble went and posted all of itself before I was ready.

12:51 am

Jera

Oh yes, in this uncertain & everchanging Babbleverse, we need all the stability we can get, LOL!

12:52 am

sprite

LOL!

12:55 am

sprite

I have the distinct feeling babble is dementing. After yesterday's sh*t we are back to kids' words now.

12:57 am

Jera

That was actually one of the words... had a good laugh since the chat bleeps worty dirds

12:58 am

mab

This seems to be the ultimate grid of almost words.

12:58 am

sprite

Babble is a hypocrite :D
Puts words in the list that it won't accept in the log.

12:59 am

sprite

So true, mab! Incredible, how many words you just can't make.

1:00 am

sherb

oh dear, I was having fun, but now I have to go to work :(

have a good day everyone :)

1:00 am

Schroeder

You to Sherb

1:00 am

sprite

Have a good day, sherb!
I see my most detested H word is in here... the dutch one for what grows on your head (well, for most of us).

1:01 am

Jera

Poor sherb... later!

1:02 am

sprite

Is it possible to have a blind spot for words starting with one particular letter? Stats say 4 x M-words, I have found zero.

1:04 am

Schroeder

Must go off to bed, to tired to be finding almost words!!

1:04 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, Schroeder! Found 2 Ms, posting helps ;)

1:05 am

Jera

I'm like that with vowel words, Sprite... have a terrible blind spot for them... when I finally get one, I almost always smack myself (especially small ones!)...

1:05 am

Jera

Sweet dreams, Schroeder! Come back after some rest!

1:09 am

sprite

I find vowels words are hard too. And for me the K-words. I hate K-words.
What a great way to start my day: babbling with you guys and getting an email starting:
"Problems can never be solved by using the same pattern of thought which created them."
(Albert Einstein)

1:10 am

Jera

It's 2am here in the US... what time is it where you are, Sprite?

1:12 am

sprite

It's 8 am here, and 11 minutes ;)
Time to send the kids to school. Back in a few mo's.

1:12 am

mab

An wonderful quote -- I just copied an pasted it. It is a tad ironic in this context.

1:16 am

Jera

Okay... I heard a weird noise in the next room, so I went to investigate... it was my four year old, fast asleep on the couch, grinding his teeth! Wonder if he's dreaming about eating candy? LOL!

1:18 am

mab

That's so cute!

1:19 am

sprite

How sweet!
I agree, Einstein's quote here tastes of irony, but hey, it have you another word, right? ;)

1:19 am

Jera

Kinda scarey... to hear from the next room! Sprite used to do that, drove me buggy... one of the reasons we stopped the family bed...

1:20 am

sprite

I never! ;)

1:21 am

Jera

Grrrr... I REALLY wanna spell carapace... but it doesn't exist in this puzzle (sez so on my screen!)...

1:21 am

sprite

What a lovely word!

1:28 am

mab

I think I will come back later to see what's not here. Bye for now and happy hunting.

1:30 am

Jera

Bye mab!

1:33 am

dalmatian5

Whoa - it's not 2:00 a.m. everywhere in the US. Mickey Mouse and I are just starting our evening of fun.....

1:35 am

Jera

Where are you, dalmatian?

1:36 am

dalmatian5

I live in Garden Grove - close to both Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.

1:37 am

Jera

Ah... California, right? I'm in Virginia, near DC.

1:37 am

dalmatian5

Where are you Jera?

1:39 am

sprite

103 words / 4.77 / 1229 points it is then. Happy hunting to all of you!

1:39 am

dalmatian5

I have a very good friend living in Virginia and working in D.C. It has been a big change for her. She will be retiring soon and moving back out this way - maybe Nevada.

1:39 am

Jera

Oh Sprite... you amazing thing! I only have 39 words... good night, hon!

1:39 am

stillcrazy

WTG sprite....night

1:40 am

Jera

I have relatives in Arizona... would be fun to visit that side of the country!

1:41 am

dalmatian5

Come on over. You can have the deserts but I love the mountains and the beaches.

1:47 am

Jera

AWe have some nice little mountains, Shenandoah Valley is quite lovely. I hate the city... give me woods, or at least a big backyard!

1:48 am

stillcrazy

Well that's it for me for tonight/morning. See you all later.

1:51 am

Jera

Later, crazy!

1:51 am

Jera

My goal is halfway before back to bed... we'll see if that happens... maybe some of my daughter's Halloween candy...

1:54 am

sprite

Good night to you all, while I am beginning my day ;)
At least, with the babble out of the way, I might get some real work done :D

1:59 am

M3

How many words ? please

2:03 am

cybernan

Bewitching hour for me -- off to get my zzz's.

2:09 am

Jera

Night, cybernan... sweet dreams!

2:23 am

Jera

Found all the 7's... I can go to bed in peace now... god night to anyone still around!

3:01 am

spatialbean

anybody have the ca 7? is it too early to ask for a clue?

thanks

3:01 am

amandacath

166 words!?! it's taken me 15 minutes to find lousy 5 of them! There's gonna be quite a bit of monkey typing today, I'm afraid.

3:04 am

dalmatian5

amandacath - there are 103 words in the puzzle. But, I agree, they are difficult.

3:04 am

Eva

Woke up in the middle of the night and thought I'd take a whirl, but this is awful.....there must be a lot of very arcane ones. Better to go back to sleep.

3:04 am

Dianne

spatial - if I had the Ca 7s I'de give you clues - sorry.

3:05 am

spatialbean

thanks

3:07 am

dalmatian5

I've been on the puzzle two hours and only have 53 words! This is a difficult one!

3:08 am

spatialbean

I did it...3 hours...

*faints*

3:09 am

dalmatian5

Wow, I am totally impressed. Congratulations! How long have you been Babbling?

3:09 am

Dianne

spatial - how about those clues then?

3:13 am

spatialbean

Babbling about a month I guess...

What clues would you like? The 7s?

3:13 am

Dianne

The C7s - pleaseeeeeee

3:20 am

nenaluli

I love getting words with monkey typing :)

3:22 am

amandacath

Thanks for the correction - added up Une's list wrong. Still, looks fairly daunting.

3:22 am

Blaze

Hello to all......

3:25 am

Dianne

Hi Blaze.

3:26 am

spatialbean

ac 7/36 low concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood

ca 7/40 Any of several plants of the genera Lychnis and Silene...or the director of "The Piano" Jane Ca*****

co 7/36 builds on en 5/12

em 7/40 One who is guided by practical experience rather than precepts or theory

na 7/32 I can't find a def for, I got it on a2z

on 7/32 Of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams

pi 7/36 A light boat propelled by sails or oars

3:26 am

Blaze

This looks like a small but exciting grid.... any thing special or odd about it LOL

3:27 am

Blaze

Wow thank you Spatial bean

3:28 am

spatialbean

I hope that helps, one word just isn't anywhere. It may be a German spelling of a drug name. Not sure.

3:29 am

dalmatian5

Spatialbean - could you tell me how atoz works? I have gone to the website and all I find is a lot of links. I have no idea how to use it. Thanks!

3:30 am

Dianne

spatial - thank so much!

3:31 am

Blaze

This is the page of A2Z that is most helpful..... you type in the first two or three letter and fill With ? for the missing letters. (ac??) it will bring up all the ac4 letter words...then you see which bizarre or normal word you are missing......

3:32 am

spatialbean

a2z has to have the worst layout of any website! Go to the main page, then in the center scroll down to "Partial Letter Lookups". Put your beginning letters in the middle "begins" section and hit "go". It will give you words starting with those letters sectioned by number...3 letter words...4 letter words etc. Not fun but it helps.

3:34 am

dalmatian5

Thank you so much! I am going to follow your directions and see if I can make it work for me. I read about users going there and it was totally confusing to me.

3:35 am

spatialbean

Yes it's messy. Right now there is a huge neon blinking ad that doesn't help either!

3:37 am

Blaze

dalmation I put up a second screen and narrow it to block out the advertising..... then open just the pane that has what I want......I blocks the blinking....etc..... althugh there is still sometimes a small on at the bottom...

3:40 am

spatialbean

Nite nite kids! Sleepy...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z snore

3:40 am

Blaze

Nitey nite.... sweet dreams

3:41 am

dalmatian5

Is the web site: atozwordfinder.com? I cannot find anything on the page that says partial letter lookups. Maybe I have the wrong site.

3:42 am

Blaze

dalmation use the llink that I posted

3:44 am

dalmatian5

I'm sorry, where do I find the link you posted?

3:45 am

Blaze

http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/w ordlookup.html
sorry I don't think it fit on the post....

3:46 am

Paraxitic

another good site for that sort of stuff is www.morewords.com

3:47 am

Blaze

Allwords.com is on the babblers friends list (upper right corner)

3:49 am

dalmatian5

Thanks so much to all of your. It is so great the way people work together and are so willing to share. I have been at this less than 2 weeks and love it. I am pcking up more new words all the time.

3:50 am

amandacath

The na7/32 is one of 25 types of alkaloids in raw opium. Says Google. So now you know what to answer when someone asks what you learned today. ;-)

3:50 am

Blaze

and that is what Babble is all about.... have you been to the babble anon site yet...??

3:53 am

dalmatian5

Blaze - I have not. I was definitely on the wrong web site! I am going to have to explore all these wonders little by litte.

3:54 am

Dianne

I am havinf so much trouble with the As.
I have these
ac x 4
ai x 1
am x 1
ar x 3

Any idea what ones I am missing?

3:55 am

Blaze

It is a second website started by a fellow babbler full of stuff for babblers.... there is a link at the bottom of friends of babble that will take you right to it... you may have to register but it is free..... there are stats posted every day to help with the grid and even reciepes.....

3:56 am

Blaze

This is what you need

ac 7/ 36
ac 6/ 21
ac 5/ 12
ac 4/ 5

ai 4/ 4
ai 4/ 4
ai 4/ 6

am 4/ 5

an 5/ 14

ar 6/ 21

3:57 am

dalmatian5

I will definitely check it out. I love to cook and am always looking for new and interesting recipes! Thanks for all the great info.

3:58 am

Chessy

Thanx Blaze:)

4:53 am

Dianne

This is a copy of Spatialbean's earlier posting:
ac 7/36 low concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood
ca 7/40 Any of several plants of the genera Lychnis and Silene...or the director of "The Piano" Jane Ca*****
co 7/36 builds on en 5/12

na 7/32 I can't find a def for, I got it on a2z
on 7/32 Of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams
pi 7/36 A light boat propelled by sails or oars

8:45 am

EvaNadine

nice, got all the 7s but the N now...
anyone have any hints for that one?

8:47 am

spellit

no definition ios given but think drugs... and it sounds like one too

8:49 am

spellit

na 7/32 If you add an e on this word it would be a bitter crystalline alkaloid obtained from opium and formerly used in medicine as a substitute for morphine.

8:49 am

Ho Hum

na8 would have def of - A bitter crystalline alkaloid, obtained from opium and formerly used in medicine as a substitute for morphine. just knock off the last letter for the na7

8:49 am

EvaNadine

best i can find is that the Na7 is an poium that possesses hypnotic powers

8:49 am

markbowers7

i've only got 25 words... 'course i've only ever completed 3 Babbles ever...and i usually only get 33%...

12:25 pm

Jera

Yay!! Thanks!! No wonder... I always block that one out... last name of a guy who cruelly dumped me in high school... :(((((

12:29 pm

HotTimale, that's sure to ring a bell on here...

12:30 pm

okay try again. I'm definitely missing a ca6/21 that is not doglike.

12:32 pm

joelgee

and a ca5/12--last one, I think.

12:32 pm

HotTimale

thanks for the reassurance... still feeling out the atmosphere

12:33 pm

excellent clue. Too bad I had it already. @#!$%!!

c word..bit part for actor of fame..OR, an old fashioned necklace or pin..with a face on it..(now am off to docs, just stopped in for sec)

okay. there's an io5 that's an adj for either a column type or an electrically charged particle. Stick a consonant at the front.

12:40 pm

joel: can't find the definition, but think who's a golfer's aide, and what does campbell's come in?

12:41 pm

robert240

ty joel

12:42 pm

Hey, Liana, didn't notice you were back! How did it go?

12:44 pm

joelgee

okay. maybe it's just me. Can anybody else make sense of the golfer's helper campbell's thing.
I know who a golfer's helper is. I know what campbell's comes in. I just don't see it.

12:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

timale - my bad, i meant ac 6/21? and en6/27? *bangs head on desk*

12:46 pm

joelgee

The golfer's helper is slang for an American-built luxo car, right?

12:46 pm

Smeltzdog

joel - i'm lost on that too.

12:47 pm

HotTimale

spare the desk... en 6/27 we mercilessly shelled the rebel ----ment.

12:47 pm

HotTimale

slang, yes... but 6-letter spelling, not 5

12:48 pm

Bugzy

joel - i got the ca6 from a hint that went something like "MaryKate Olson bears an unc***** resemblance to E.T." Just tweak the ending of the c-word a little...

12:48 pm

pass the fish....

12:48 pm

12:50 pm

one left. The last ca5/12. I have a client calling in 10 mins.

12:51 pm

Smeltzdog

joel - think diamonds or gold.

12:51 pm

joelgee

hot--
your last was leading me in the right direction. Bugzy just confirmed it.

12:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

joe, think diamonds - (hopecully BIG ones)

12:52 pm

HotTimale

owl: ac 6/21 = relating to any of the small sacs terminating the ducts of some exocrine glands and lined with secretory cells

12:52 pm

Bugzy

you're welcome. for the ca5/12, it's also a kind of terrier...

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

start with the middle lower c - go left...

12:53 pm

joelgee

. . . And I'm now going to the bank to get a loan so I can buy a boat and hook the biggest fish I can so I can brain myself with it.
Thanks and done.

12:54 pm

joelgee

I don't think gold has has a ca5/12, but diamonds are a Babbler's best friend.

12:54 pm

Oops.. two ca5/12s, I see.
Well done, joelgee...

*It's a Midwest Fest here on Babble!!*

1:26 pm

HotTimale

absolutely... HS bud of mine had the honor at the Fiesta Bowl in 2002

1:26 pm

joelgee

I'm sorry. There is no "fest" in Babbleville.

1:26 pm

Smeltzdog

everytime my cell phone rings, my ears are blessed with the best song in the world... the Buckeye's Fight Song.

1:26 pm

HotTimale

dog, where'd you get the ringer?

1:27 pm

Bugzy

LOL ... you're right, joelgee, I forgot... It's a Midwest Fete then!

1:27 pm

Smeltzdog

i downloaded it when i got my phone... but i'll have to find where - it's been 2 years. i'll get back to you on that.

1:27 pm

HotTimale

i definitely need that

1:28 pm

pbr

ac7??? help

1:28 pm

HotTimale

thanks... email <same> at hotmail or catch me around here... i'm around most weekdays

1:28 pm

Smeltzdog

it annoys my wife... probably because i start dancing when it plays.

1:29 pm

Smeltzdog

it just makes me so happy.

1:29 pm

HotTimale

the song, annoying the wife, or a little of both? ;)

1:29 pm

johnp

Hail to the Victors Valiant, Hail to the Conquering Heros, Hail Hail to Michigan...... Ahhh makes me so happy

1:29 pm

joelgee

pbr--
scroll down the log a little bit.
I gave an excellent (if I do say so) clue just a while ago.
go to prev 50

1:30 pm

Smeltzdog

i do like to push her buttons every now and then. fun little game.

1:30 pm

joelgee

Alright. Forget politics and religion. We got Buckeyes and UMers ready to rumble.

1:31 pm

HotTimale

actually, john... i last heard it with much different words...

1:31 pm

lola100

It was a most excellent clue!

Er, joel? on7 *please!* and I promise not to ask for another clue for at least 20 minutes? :)

1:31 pm

johnp

Oh Yeah.. Bring it on.

Rough day at work. Thanks for the smile

1:32 pm

johnp

Hot - not surprised. don't teach you to read it right at OSU

1:32 pm

HotTimale

yup... USC and UCLA may both be undefeated when they meet in a few weeks, but no rivalry will be as fierce as ours

1:32 pm

Smeltzdog

it's ringing!!! joyous!

1:32 pm

johnp

You are right. It makes my blood boil. But I love it. But then again all my family is a MSU. I struggle on who I hate the most. LOL

1:33 pm

HotTimale

i always wondered about that... fortunately, we don't have a respectable in-state rival to divert our focus

1:33 pm

joelgee

Oy!
okay. the first part comes before "two".
The second part would be the Humphrey bogart character in Casablanca but with an "i" in front and no "k"

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

*RUNS AND TACKLES LOLA*

1:35 pm

joelgee

is that muddy enough for you? The formal def:
Of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams.

1:35 pm

johnp

Hot - never thought of that. OSU, MSU and Notre Dame. Tops on the hit list. It makes the season quite fun

1:36 pm

HotTimale

1:41 pm

HotTimale

1:43 pm

johnp

Yeah, except I kinda want the old guy to win the big 10 at this point so he can retire already. sheesh

Ok. I work in a hospital, just asked the nurse. they spell the ip one as a 6 letter word. Can anyone point me to the extra letter I am missing

1:43 pm

Hi, cybernan. Saw people talking of dinner. I need inspiration. Hubby is a beef & potatoes kind. And I've OD'd on leftover halloween candy!

4:10 pm

ac 7: last part is medical term for a sleep disorder

4:10 pm

Cottage Pie Charm !

4:10 pm

ac7 - "A condition marked by an unusually low concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and tissues." I saw a nice clue earlier: ac + disorder where you fall asleep.

4:11 pm

cybernan

You won't want to look to me unless you like fish and squash -- we've been on the Southbeach diet for the last 6 months -- lost 27 pounds!

4:11 pm

Charm

Thanks for the idea Karys, but he's more into grilled beef - and it's 40-degrees-F outside! Men....

4:11 pm

speedfreak

Karys: got the ac5 do I add to that for ac6?

4:12 pm

Karys

could do the fish cyber....not sure about the squash tho'

4:12 pm

Charm

Wow, cybernan. That's great. Hubby is definitely into the 'oil, oil, and more oil.' Or 'it needs more sugar.' AND he's a doctor - go figure.

4:12 pm

cybernan

How about a steak that he cooks on the BBQ?

4:12 pm

Karys

speed change the end

4:13 pm

judierae

Hurshy, I din't have that list

4:13 pm

It'll be the steak *I* cook on the grill! Maybe something along the lines of stroganoff. That sounds like a nice fall dish, doesn't it?

ac 6/21??

5:45 pm

Haz1558

Ta 6/21 - you sunbathe to achieve the first syllable, then take a letter from a slang word for 'to steal'
Pi 7/36 - is the height of achievement minus a letter.

5:45 pm

Karys

ta6/21...acid ???

6:42 pm

Hi folks. Finished grid hours ago and then had to go off into non-Babbleverse. Just been playing Multi Popword on eastoftheweb - a game I've been playing for at least a year. I just WON a game! Ist time ever! I can only think that Babbling has sharpened my reactions and expanded my vocab (which was pretty wide anyway). So, thanks, Babble!

6:51 pm

Wow Jac - congratulations

6:51 pm

hi CJ!

6:52 pm

Jacula

Anyone watch any horror movies for Hallowe'en last night? We watch 'The Lost Boys'. I bought it ages ago but we'd not got around to watching it before.

6:53 pm

nenaluli

can I have a clue for ca 5/12? (The one after Abel's brother)

6:53 pm

Jacula

We also taped my icon's film last night, 'Elvira - Mistress of the Dark'. Haven't watched it yet though.

Yes, I'm here to give clues should anyone want them.

6:54 pm

Jacula

ca5/12 - pile of stones. A Scottish word, I think.

6:54 pm

mamabear

the ca's are turning me inside out. the 2 ca 6/21's and the ca 7/40 to start

6:54 pm

Jacula

(Add a 'c' to your 1st ai4/4.)

6:55 pm

nenaluli

excellent. TY. How about em 7/40?

6:55 pm

mamabear

I have that one.

6:56 pm

Tbug

one of the ca 6/21's - another word for dog or dog family

6:56 pm

Jacula

1st ca6/21 - think of dogs. 2nd ca6/21 - you know Aussies call a can of beer a 'tinnie'? Well, this is what they might call it if they kept the word can. Sounds 'knowledgeable'.

6:57 pm

Tbug

other ca 6/21 sounds like something coincidental or strange is un ca**** (last two letters are vowels)

6:58 pm

Jacula

ca7/40 is a type of wild flower, often thought of as a weed. Most common are red ca7/40 and white ca7/40. Start off with what you do in a tent. Failing that, think of a winner but take out the 2nd letter.

6:58 pm

minz

how many words today???

6:59 pm

nenaluli

Ca 7/40, queen song "we are the ********, my friend" Cut the h.

7:00 pm

Tbug

awesome clue nena thanx! :) *lifts glass to queen*

7:00 pm

Jacula

The true definitions of the 'em' word are:

1. One who is guided by practical experience rather than precepts or theory.
2. An unqualified or dishonest practitioner; a charlatan.

7:00 pm

mamabear

Doogle - this puzzle is a monkey's dream!!!!!

7:18 pm

nenaluli

I read those clues. I can't get it still. Perhaps if you told me what it rhymes with? or if it's made up of several words?

7:19 pm

Jacula

JohnP - not too bad, thanks. Bruises have now come out from missing chair and landing on coccyx a few days ago. Ouch! But otherwise I'm fine. Where are you situated, by the way? UK or elsewhere?

7:20 pm

johnp

OUCH Jac! How can you sit and play this game??

7:27 pm

8:16 pm

Jacula

Temple - yes, that's me in my icon and Paul, too. Had one of my lazy cat up earlier but it didn't show up too well since she's a black cat. Finished grid hours ago. Just in here to give clues and chat now. How's your day been?

Welcome to the Babblevberse, Priscilla.:-)

Hi Rubyblues - sitting in the only comfy chair I can find (my gas-lift chair) since I missed a wheeled chair a few days ago and landed on my coccyx!:-(

8:19 pm

RubyBlues

ouch! that hurts just hearing it!

8:21 pm

Jacula

Not so bad now, Ruby. The bruises down my right side are coming out and so (it's psychological, I think) it hurts when I look at them! Still here to give grid clues though...

Artlady - Are you still with us?? Or has hubby dragged you up the stairs by your hair? LOL.

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was a good day! we're enjoying unusually warm weather which makes the time change a bit more bearable. And you?

8:29 pm

LUCKY

Goodmorning all .. Jacula the wine word (I have it) doesn't stick it is thrown out as not valid ...think there is a fault on the page ...
What should I do any1??

8:32 pm

Jacula

Ruby - what branch of psychiatry are you in?

8:33 pm

RubyBlues

Im a psycho therapist.....i work with mentally ill patients....i love it but its tough some times

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

no jac i'm not...i will try again tonight.
p,s, i'm a psych major AND a hypochondriac, so i really know how you feel! LOL *apologies to rubyblues*

8:34 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Temple! I always say it takes one to know one!

8:34 pm

Jacula

Lucky - do you mean the ta6/21? Are you sure you've doubled the consonant in the middle? I can't try typing words in myself because I've got them all, so don't know if there's a fault with the site. Try it again (after checking it's not already on your list) but type it in more slowly. Sounds daft, I know, but sometimes works.

8:38 pm

Jacula

Ruby - the way this site divided the words 'psycho' and 'therapist' reminded me of a comedy sketch on UK TV where a signwriter got it all wrong and painted something like, 'M.A. Niac. Psycho the Rapist'. LOL.

8:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

lucky - if you mean the on7/32, it has to do with dreams... i know it was in the log about 3 hrs 40 min or so - by joelgee...

8:38 pm

RubyBlues

I love UK TV...AbFab!

8:41 pm

Jacula

Ah, Patsy & Edina & 'the Bolly'.

8:41 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Patsy Rocks!

8:42 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, I wasn't belittling your job, Ruby. I do know what you do.

8:43 pm

RubyBlues

Never felt you had...LOL...Ive heard many things about my field

8:43 pm

Jacula

Actually, Joanna Lumley, who played Patsy, is about to appear on UK TV in her first serious role since playing Patsy. Can't remember the name of the prog. now, but saw it advertised earlier.

8:45 pm

RubyBlues

Really? I dont think I would recognize her without a drink and a joke....love the way she goes to bed with a ciggy in her mouth so that she will be ready lol

8:46 pm

Jacula

Ruby - in your field you need a mad sense of humour. I know! Incidentally, my doctor, my dentist and my surgeon, plus my two ex-neighbours (who both worked in mental health and had a 'mad' child who put 'poo' in their fridge) all have a mad sense of humour. My dentist says things like (when he's drilling for a filling), 'Oh! If I drill any deeper I'll have brain tissue on the end of my bit!'.

8:47 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Its true all of my cohorts have a "sick" sense of humor...its the only way to get through it all

8:48 pm

ruffh2o

sigh. I have 72 words, and haven't yet used a2z. But I have no ai's. Anybody have hints?

8:49 pm

Jacula

In the colonoscophy clinic they make jokes about having sausages for lunch, and in gyni, when sewing up episotomies, they make jokes about God planting a pleasure pit between a cesspit and a sewer.

8:49 pm

Dianne

ai - breezy.

8:50 pm

ruffh2o

oops, sorry, I'm dyslexic today. I meant ia's !!

8:50 pm

RubyBlues

When I had my children my ob/gyn made a comment that I cant even put on the log! LOL.....

8:51 pm

Jacula

Ruby - the usual thing they say is, 'See you next year!' and it's your reply that would be bleeped out on the log! LOL.

8:52 pm

RubyBlues

LOL...Thats true....

8:53 pm

Jacula

There's only one 'ia' and that was clued for a while ago on the log. Depends whether you're from UK or across the pond whether you get the baseball or soccer clues for that. Failing that, sounds like a branch of nursing concerned with caring for old folks.

8:53 pm

ruffh2o

ia...anybody have a hint?

8:53 pm

Charm

IA6 - suffix meaning "Of or relating to a specified kind of medical practice, treatment, or healing."

8:54 pm

ruffh2o

Thanks. How strange. It always seems odd to me that these prefixes & suffixes are allowed.

8:55 pm

RubyBlues

I am clueless tonight...

8:55 pm

cybernan

ruffh2o - think of the word that describes a practice that treats old people or one that treats children -- you want the suffix.

8:57 pm

ruffh2o

also stuck on the ip. since we seem to be on a roll...hints?

8:57 pm

Jacula

Ruby - if you were from UK, which I don't think you are, given the time you're here, I would clue you for the 'ia' word by saying 'German score of 3 goals in soccer'. Guess that won't help you though?

8:57 pm

ruffh2o

I keep seeing "ipanema".

8:58 pm

ruffh2o

somebody pass the haddock. That ip was staring right at me.

8:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

well - time to go. enjoyed meeting you ruby blues.

btw jac - someone posted a yummy recipe for chocolate martinis earlier in the log - if i could remember who i'd ask them to post to babanon recipes!

8:58 pm

Okay, Ruby. Ginger Spice's first name was (is) Geri (Halliwell). Take her first name and apply it to a branch of nursing that cares for old folks, then take away the first 3 letters.

9:05 pm

cybernan

ruff --
na 4/5 - shortened version of na 5/12
na 5/12 - a drug, or a slang term for a drug officer
na 7/32 - na 4/5 + the first 3 letters of german one.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the chocolate liqueur and vodka to the shaker. Shake briskly to mix and chill. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the chocolate

Thank you everyone for your help!!!! I knew it was a simple one - my eye just never went up to that top row! I love all the witty chatting that goes on. Everyone out there is so friendly and makes this so much fun!!!!

9:18 pm

LUCKY

ruffh2o 80!! Congrats. I am stuck today at 53 so have a drink and relax

9:18 pm

cybernan

Congrats ruff! What do you need Lucky?

9:18 pm

ruffh2o

wandering over to the wine fridge...

9:19 pm

LUCKY

Ruffh20 what happened to the chocolate martini???

9:19 pm

ruffh2o

forget the wine...be back in a sec, have to find recipe for a pomegranate martini, having just convinced hubby to make me one

9:19 pm

Jacula

'Wine fridge'??? She has a fridge just for booze??? Wow! Wish we could do that here.

9:20 pm

ruffh2o

don't have chocolate liqueur

9:20 pm

RubyBlues

I have a cookie closet...lol

9:21 pm

Jacula

Got choc liqeuer in our fridge.

9:21 pm

ruffh2o

jac - I suspect that you can. They aren't all that big. You can get one for as few as 10 bottles, and up to 200. Ours is somewhere in-between, and occurred because our dishwasher died. We decided that we had more of a need for the fridge than for a dishwasher.

9:21 pm

ruffh2o

we have our priorities. :)

9:22 pm

cybernan

ruffho - you're obviously not feeding three teens if you don't feel the need for a dishwasher!

9:22 pm

LUCKY

Snacks galore ... must be nice to my cookie eyes..
Yesterday it was 4:20 so now its bed for me again
See yÃ¡ll later

9:22 pm

marybcmt

we have a junk closet just for junk food

9:23 pm

dalmatian5

Harrah's in Reno has the Sapphire bar and it specializes in martinis. I have never seen or tasted) so many delicious combos in my life - chocolate cherry is great.

9:23 pm

cybernan

We just have a closet full of junk -- a couple of them in fact.

9:24 pm

Jacula

LOL! We have 2 freezers and think we need one more for the Autumn harvest. The dishwashers (there are two out of 4 officials in this house) are called Jacula and Paul69. If we had room for a booze fridge, we would do it - 5 of us want that!

9:24 pm

ruffh2o

nite lucky.

actually, we have three teens part-time. but they help with the dish-washing.

9:25 pm

ruffh2o

lol. booze fridge is indispensable - it frees up room in the other fridge for feeding the bottomless stomachs of those teens.

9:26 pm

Jacula

we have 1 teen full-time, I early 20s full-time, 1 teen part-time, i early 20s part-time and I pre-teen part time. 3 of those help dishwashing-wise.

9:27 pm

Pomegranate Martini Recipe

3 ounces citrus-infused vodka
3 ounces pomegranate juice
lemon rind (to garnish)
ice

Combine all, shake like hell, add garnish

9:27 pm

cybernan

I agree, ruff - we're empty nesters now but still need the wine fridge, the regular fridge, the deep freeze and of course the old beer & pop fridge out in the garage.

9:27 pm

marybcmt

grr cannot get the A's - only have 4 of 11

9:27 pm

RubyBlues

wow jacula...i should come to your place....im having the "empty nest syndrome".

9:27 pm

ruffh2o

for us, it's the 1967 Coke Vendo in the garage

9:28 pm

ruffh2o

trying to count Jacula's teens...ran out of hands.

9:29 pm

harpjane

Any help on ac 6/21 and 5/21?

9:29 pm

ruffh2o

gee, and I thought that 3 teens was tough. just when I think that I know what they like, it changes.

9:30 pm

Jacula

But one thing I will comment on is a habit all of the males, whatever age, that congregate our house at one time or another, indulge in... of them in all, including ex-hubby.... they walk into kitchen and open fridge and peer into it, then close it, walk over to kettle, switch it on and then walk over to fridge and open it again... WHY??? LOL.

9:31 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Jac....my son is away at college, its his first year

9:31 pm

ruffh2o

hmm. all of the males on hubby's side cook. his son once refused, in his early teens, saying that it was 'women's work'. now, guess who's copying my recipes. :)

9:32 pm

Jacula

What they have told me is that they think 'something new' may have appeared in the last 2 seconds since they last looked. ????????????

9:32 pm

ruffh2o

ac hint:
adj 1: pertaining to one of the small sacs (as in a compound gland)
2: pertaining to the individual parts making up an aggregate fruit like a blackberry

9:33 pm

ruffh2o

it's the gremlins in the fridge.

9:35 pm

ruffh2o

since we have a heavy emphasis on cooking in the house, ours just walk to 'the list' and point to something, asking us when we will make it. 'The list' is a group of recipes for which I can guarantee we have all of the appropriate ingredients.

9:35 pm

Jacula

My son (21) says that, Ruff. Still can't forget he was the best and most innovative cook in his year at school, when forced to cook. He still doesn't cook for all of us now, but has started to go out and buy stuff and cook for himself, if desperate. I feel that cooking for rest of us won't be tooo far away (a decade or so).

9:35 pm

cybernan

ac 6/21: (in case ruff's def. didn't help)
Take the first 3 letters of ascorbic ac** and add the first part of the whale with the long tusk.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Don't talk to me about Gremlins, ruff. I caught the end of (was it?) Gremlins 3 the other night? The green bride with the red lipstick that looked like the Grandma from 'Dinosaurs'.

9:37 pm

mamabear

hi - just got home - looks like everyone is done and chatting? And me with 26 words to go still.....aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

9:37 pm

ruffh2o

I gave up after gremlins 2.

9:37 pm

cybernan

Hi Mamabear -- how are you doing?

9:37 pm

ruffh2o

mama - I have 20 to go, but don't want to use a2z, and am up to my eyeballs in pomegranate martini

9:38 pm

mamabear

hi cybernan - I still need 26 - was sneak babbling at work today - this one is a toughie.... i would so like to finish it though

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Hello to all!

9:38 pm

Jacula

Ruff - Gremlins are like kids and cats - never get 'em wet or feed 'em after midnight.:-(

9:38 pm

ruffh2o

hi woof

9:38 pm

mamabear

ruffh20 - no a2z??? I am super impressed - I would have way more than 26 to go if I hadn't resorted to it a long time ago. pomegranite martinis???? intriguing.....

9:39 pm

mamabear

Hey GW - you just getting on?

9:39 pm

ruffh2o

see recipe below for martini

9:39 pm

Charm

Hey, MamaBear....

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi MAMA, I just got home from work and grocery shopping. And I only have 28 words so you are way ahead of me!

9:40 pm

cybernan

It is tough - had to resort to a2z for my last 4 words.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Has Ruby gone? Or is she hunting for words?

9:40 pm

mamabear

Hi Charm...
Well, this one gave me a run for my money today... still is

9:41 pm

ruffh2o

so, jac. how did you survive the mid to late teens? ours are 14, 16, 18. The 18 year old boy is responsible, but the girls respond so much to peer pressure.

9:41 pm

Jacula

Cybernan - you did 2 words better than me then. I went to a2z for last 6 words a few hours ago.

9:41 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Hunting Hunting Hunting.....you kknow I dont go from a to z...perhaps I should start huh?

9:42 pm

ruffh2o

experimenting with martini recipe. adding rose's lime this time.

hubby added a special lemon rind knot. he's so creative.

9:42 pm

cybernan

I'm not that clever - had a lot of help from the log.

9:43 pm

Jacula

Ruff - if I tried to tell you about early teens to mid-teens, you'd freak out. So, I will not.

9:43 pm

RubyBlues

My son is so easy but my daughter......frightening!

9:44 pm

ruffh2o

couldn't be worse than I was. I grew up in the UK - pubs & ciggies all through my teens

9:45 pm

ruffh2o

Ruby - we have one who is ultra conservative (we're scared to ask what she thinks of the wine fridge), and one who is in a goth phase

9:45 pm

cybernan

Ruff, take solace in the fact that one day (about 4 or 5 years from now) the girls will turn to you and say "Gee, Mom, I used to think you were so stupid and had no taste -- but you were right!".

9:45 pm

Jacula

Ruby - ditto. But... re daughter... think a 'thin' word starting with' anor' aT 12/13 and then 2 and a half years in a clinic.

9:45 pm

RubyBlues

I dont know Ruff...LOL....

9:46 pm

ruffh2o

ouch, jac. one of ours has body issues, but not to that extreme

9:47 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Ruff I dont think Jac meant her daughter

9:48 pm

ruffh2o

funny how they think that we know nothing.

we were playing a board game, and one decided to swear at her sister, calling her a 'poto'. I waited for a minute to see where it would go, and then told her that if she wanted to call her sister a bi*** in Spanish that she could at least get it right. She was mortified.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Is they come home and 'rant' or come home and cry - everything's fine - they eat SOMETHING after that. If they come home any say nothing anfd go up to their room... then you worry.

9:49 pm

Jacula

Ruff was right, Ruby. I did mean my daughter.

9:49 pm

RubyBlues

My girl will be crying and Ill ask whats the matter, she will say "nothing"....she realizes how silly that is

9:50 pm

cybernan

Anyone need any clues before I log off for a couple of hours?

9:50 pm

RubyBlues

Really Jac.....its this messed up view of whats pretty in this world.

9:50 pm

ruffh2o

sigh. one of ours is the stats girl for the football team. came home in tears when one of the guys said that she had fat knees.

FAT KNEES?!?!?

9:51 pm

mamabear

cybernan - me, me, me, (can you tell I just got home from choir rehearsal) but seriously, ME!!!

9:51 pm

ruffh2o

cyber - too many, as in 20. thanx for the help earlier.

9:51 pm

cybernan

Alto or sop?

9:51 pm

Jacula

'Nothing' said in various tones, is a classic female response. Thing is, only females know which 'nothing' the other female means. LOL.

9:51 pm

marybcmt

cyber, any clues for any o words?

9:52 pm

mamabear

SOP!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

cybernan - thanks for the offer, but with so far to catch up, It is not worth it yet

9:52 pm

ruffh2o

in our house, 'nothing' is invariably followed by loud music on their personal stereo.

9:52 pm

RubyBlues

LOL Jac....I can usually figure it out!

9:52 pm

ruffh2o

mama - think killer whale

9:52 pm

RUFFH - thanks but it was marb who needs the o's

9:53 pm

9:57 pm

Hi Smeltz...agreed Jac

There's no doubt that bullying really bites at that age, especially for the girls.

10:00 pm

Hugabugs

Hi everyone.... any clues on the en6/27?

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

Jacula

Ruff - if you have scales in your bathroom REMOVE them, saves anyone standing on them about every 5-10 mins (and I do not exaggerate). If you must have body scales in the house, hide them.

10:01 pm

ruffh2o

lol. hubby just unpacked a new 'puter monitor, and shows me a piece of foam, donut-shaped. he said that it was hemorrhoid pillow for a mouse.

10:01 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Smeltz

10:01 pm

Mamabear - I used to sing descant in our church choir before I lost my voice -- still miss it. Also directed for a while -- very time consuming.

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi nordina

10:04 pm

Jacula

BNo worries about public scales, Ruff. It's the ones in the home that cause the most probs. Everyone's weight fluctuates by 3 - 5 pounds during a day, depending on...

Thing is, anorectics (or anorexics as most might know them) don't see that.

10:04 pm

ruffh2o

ruby - think chocolate

10:04 pm

gnubee

got ca44 & ca5, TY Cybernan & Dianne

Melanie Safka sang her best concert at Carnegie Hall.

10:05 pm

ruffh2o

jac - it's tough to know what to worry about, and what not. she spends a lot of time in the loo, says that she has gas. and wears the baggiest clothes.

10:06 pm

TY Ruff that did it!

10:06 pm

Good luck everyone -- I'm off to make a snack before settling down to watch Commander in Chief.

10:07 pm

Jacula

Ruff - I suppose you're thinking about bulimia? And, like me, if you've got a flat roof outside her bathroom window, are climbing out of your own and trying to check? It's effing awful, isn't it?

10:08 pm

nordina

okay guys better go pick up my son and cook dinner... have a good night and will catch up with y'all tomoro

thx ruby. just the trials & tribulations of teenage girls.

RubyBlues

My girl is 23 and it still is difficult though...I thought it was just her!

10:10 pm

mamabear

I understand Jacula - but for me it was my son - my girls have been my salvation

10:10 pm

Jacula

Ruff - go into Babbler Anonymous and message me when and if you need to.

10:10 pm

ruffh2o

I don't know which is worse. One of her friends is a cutter. Thankfully, she shares the stories with us. There's some reassurance that she is somewhat open.

10:11 pm

pbr

evening..stuck on YI5 and Yo5.

10:11 pm

RubyBlues

Cutters are tough Ruff...I work with them all the time....so sad

10:11 pm

Smeltzdog

I don't mean to sound intrusive but could someone fill me in on what's going on.

10:11 pm

ruffh2o

no need, jac, but thanks for the offer. I'm just keeping a close eye on her. The other household doesn't seem to.

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

No worries there Jac, I think I can safely say that if any of us were not sympathetic to some degree, we would have said something before now

Me, I'm just wondering what it's going to be like for me in about 9-10 years (LOL)

10:12 pm

ruffh2o

OK, Ok - new topic. perhaps back to the martini recipes?

10:12 pm

10:13 pm

mamabear

Hey GW, nice icon by the way... a real howler!

10:13 pm

ruffh2o

in 9 or 10 years...well, I can't imagine that it would be all that different. Same peer pressure for teenagers, same media contributing to body issues, same pressure from parents for high grades.

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Ok - what is the definition of a martini?
I have had both gin and vodka martinis and didn't much care for either

10:13 pm

mamabear

hi nenalui - in THAT case, anything on the pe 5/14?

10:13 pm

ruffh2o

mama - what the heck os your icon? (pulling out the bifocals)

10:14 pm

RubyBlues

vermueth is what makes a martini a martini

10:14 pm

nenaluli

pe 5/14: a type of nut, it goes in brownies. "when harry met sally: mmmmmmmmm pe5/14 pie"

10:14 pm

mamabear

ruffh20 - polar bears slow dancing, what else? Seemed like a good nite for a slow dance...

10:14 pm

RubyBlues

nice spelling Ruby!

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi nena :)

Thanks MAMA, like your dancers too!

10:15 pm

ruffh2o

I'm not a diehard about martinis. Cosmos & pomegranate martinis are what we do. Else it's margaritas.

We didn't like vodka until we discovered belvedere.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Oh, the cutters! Yes, my daughter knows a few of those. Two are the house regs I mentioned earlier. One's just 'playing at it', the other means it a little more, but neither of them reach the heights either me or my daughter saw in her clinic. If you mean it, your guts are hanging out. Christ! What am I saying? I get so upset when I see the lightest of cuts on the lads here - the girls I saw doing it in the clinic meant 'business'.

10:15 pm

RubyBlues

MMMM I love cosmos

10:15 pm

mamabear

OMG nenalui - could it have been any easier. For that, I don't deserve any more clues..... how embarrassing

10:16 pm

ruffh2o

ah. ok, I get it. it looked like a 'dip' to me, but I wasn't sure.

10:16 pm

RubyBlues

Its difficult trying to help them every day Jac

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

I think I may be allergic to gin since my mother is.

The drink I tend to prefer mixed or straight is amaretto.

10:16 pm

nenaluli

haha no, there are some easy ones I missed too :oP

10:16 pm

mamabear

yes, dancing, dipping. all related.

10:17 pm

mmmmm mamabear love amaretto!

10:17 pm

hi all! can anyone help with me out with ir 5/10?

10:17 pm

ruffh2o

this one is under treatment. I just worry about the damage done when she tells her friends the 'hows' and 'whys'. then again, there's enough info on the 'net anyway, for someone to figure it out if they want to.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, my son's not one of the' cutters or nutters' and neither is my other half.

10:17 pm

10:19 pm

Jacula

Ruff - if hubby's got a downer on the convo, put him on to me and I'll put him right.

10:19 pm

Smeltzdog

ruff...ask mama.

10:20 pm

mamabear

Oh yes ruffh - you should see it - not everybody can wear a hot dog bun the way Smeltz does!

10:20 pm

pbr

What about IR6

10:20 pm

ruffh2o

shoot, I don't have ir6

10:20 pm

nenaluli

Alanis Morisette song: And isn't it Ir6? don't you think?

10:20 pm

Smeltzdog

THERE SHE IS!!!

10:20 pm

RubyBlues

10:20 pm

10:21 pm

nyxori

thanks, just figured it out - so close to the end (for once)

10:21 pm

ruffh2o

guess I was in the mood for a chat. sorry to bring everybody down.

change of topic? hot dogs in heels, perhaps?

10:21 pm

mamabear

Yeah, what's with this OHIO STATE thing anyway???? You can do better than THAT! In the meantime, you got anything on cr 6/21?

10:22 pm

nenaluli

Cr 6/21: think skull. It has 2 vowels at the end.

10:22 pm

Smeltzdog

I sure do. finished earlier.
Why?

10:23 pm

mamabear

may I have a clue, oh great one?

10:23 pm

ruffh2o

I've never heard of an allergy to gin.

Wow. Back in the 70's, my Mom & I were addicted to amaretto & vanilla ice cream.

10:24 pm

Smeltzdog

I hate playing certain games wher you have to be completely obnoxious. cr6 is close to one of those games.

10:24 pm

mamabear

never mind smeltzy - nenalui came to my rescue....how about the ta 6/21????

10:24 pm

ruffh2o

woo hoo! 88 words and no a2z. and waaaay too much chatting.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Ruff - like I said - you know wher to register and contact me.

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

My friends mock me for my amaretto preference -- they call it a girly drink

10:25 pm

ruffh2o

switch to sambuca. more kick

10:25 pm

mab

Was someone looking for Ir6? Normal everday word - put an ic on the end of your ir4.

I need pe6 clue, please? I know its a kind of boat, but that isn't helping.

10:25 pm

mamabear

I have to say my favorite is rum. Maybe I was a pirate in a previous life

10:25 pm

Jacula

Probably time for me to go now; probably said far too much anyway. Only came her to give clues for grid. Bye.

10:25 pm

nenaluli

ta 6/21... tough to explain. it has to do with flavoring and the way things taste in your mouth. a very dry wine is ta****

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

The truth is I don't hav the money to spend on liquor that often so I tend to stick to sipping wines instead,
A bottle lasts longer that way

10:26 pm

nenaluli

and I love the obnoxious game!

10:26 pm

ruffh2o

bye jac. 'til tomorrow or whatever. thanks for the chat. really.

10:26 pm

Smeltzdog

mama...think of the name of that boat that sank when it hit a wee bit of ice. don't use the first part and double the consonant in the middle.

10:26 pm

mamabear

wines... ahhhh. merlot....

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA, I am definitely in your corner there--- rum in any form will always be accepted

10:27 pm

nukem95

10:27 pm

JBsAnno

How's this for a clue:
Someone mad for the sun: a manic ta...

10:27 pm

Smeltzdog

I prefer reisling

10:27 pm

nenaluli

Ta 6: When you sunbathe, you *** + short for the name "Nicole"

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

I love how threads twist back upon themselves in an almost noneuclidean geometry

10:28 pm

mamabear

Doggy, I take back almost all the nasty things I've said about you - that was an awesome clue!!! So good, I think I might ask for another... how about ma 5/22 & ma 5/14????

10:28 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, Grey W - how's the SEPTA strike treating you?

10:28 pm

bbnaz

man this is one tough puzzle for me. guess i shouldn't have been so happy about doing alright before.......

10:28 pm

ruffh2o

ack. riesling. so sweet.

however, I tried a good wine last weekend. Trimibach Gewurtztraminer '02 from Alsace. now I just have to find it in the shops.

10:28 pm

nenaluli

Pi 7: I have a *** number for my atm card + the last letter in that word + I have a 4 *** poker.

10:28 pm

mab

10:29 pm

ruffh2o

SEPTA...geez...east coast

10:29 pm

nenaluli

Ma 5/22: a type of bird. The point value will help you in this one.

10:29 pm

JBsAnno

Philly commuters untie!

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

JBsAnno, personally I'm not touched by it. However, PLymouth Mall has been hit hard. Too many people who work for the various stores can't get to work because they take the bus

10:30 pm

Smeltzdog

ma 5/22
It's the same name for a bird and a little country. Spelled differently

10:30 pm

nenaluli

In college, you study ma5/14economics.

JBsAnno

10:32 pm

mamabear

10:32 pm

ruffh2o

just found out that I have to report for jury duty tomorrow. joy.

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

A lot of the demographic of the shoppers appears to be bus riders as well -- The mall was a ghost town ALL day today

10:33 pm

mamabear

OH NO!! I have no no's

10:33 pm

JBsAnno

That's a definite no-no, MamaB!

10:33 pm

10:38 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, smeltz, I didn't have the film ca***.

10:38 pm

Dianne

10:39 pm

mab

Thanks Ruff. Why didn't I see that?

Pe6? It's a boat, but I can't find the boat.

10:39 pm

nenaluli

commercials :)

10:39 pm

mab

Thank you Dianne!

10:39 pm

ruffh2o

I can't find the boat either.

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

I love doing the chat first time the puzzle rolls over and then with less than 2 hours to go - that's when the clues come thick and fast.
I love you guys!

10:39 pm

Schroeder

Evening all!!

10:40 pm

"I'm the king of the world" *standing on ottoman with my arms out*

10:40 pm

bbnaz

i give up...........guess i will try tomorrow

10:40 pm

nenaluli

No 5 is No 4/4 (french for black), with the last 2 letters reversed, and a vowel at the end.

10:41 pm

JBsAnno

nyori, monkey type the no 4/4 seaweed to add a vowel at the end.

10:41 pm

ruffh2o

agree, jb

10:41 pm

nyxori

i swear i tried that...thanks!

10:42 pm

Schroeder

I have 14 to go, hope for a miracle.

10:42 pm

Smeltzdog

is mama antisocial?

10:42 pm

ruffh2o

any other suggestions for the pe boat?

10:42 pm

ruffh2o

mama fell off the planet after the no's

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Schroeder, I still have 54 to go, so don't feel bad

10:44 pm

Schroeder

Earlier today it seemed everyone had finished I'm glad to see I'm not alone

10:44 pm

JBsAnno

ruff (always shorthanding the names here), take the pe 5/12, and go to the tried and true monkey typing to add another vowel.

10:44 pm

mab

The boat: pe6

it is in the middle three rows. Like your Pe5 pasta, but use an 'ia' ending.

10:44 pm

mamabear

ruff & smeltz - why are you stuttering???

10:46 pm

ruffh2o

thanks mab. I was up to my ears in my shorter oxford, and wasn't getting far

10:47 pm

ruffh2o

if you're talking about the repeat on the screen, I don't know what causes it. refresh sometimes helps.

10:48 pm

mamabear

Why can't I get that french black drunken word with a vowel on the end to work?????

10:48 pm

ruffh2o

mama - what are your first two letters?

10:48 pm

Smeltzdog

are you drinking again mama?

10:48 pm

mamabear

no

10:49 pm

ruffh2o

french black drunken word - just reverse the last 2 letters

10:49 pm

JBsAnno

3 more words to get to 50, then feed the cats and off to bed.
Someday (standing with smeltzdog on the ottoman) I'll finish a puzzle *starry eyed look* but I'm happy to get at least half the words.

10:49 pm

mamabear

how am I supposed to concentrate when you wear your super hot dog suit? You KNOW what that does to me!!!

10:50 pm

ruffh2o

sh** smeltz, I just refreshed & your icon changed. lol.

10:50 pm

JBsAnno

Because, MamaBear, you're using the wrong no 4/4. Not the film no**, but the type of seaweed no**
Yes?

10:50 pm

Smeltzdog

Smeltzdog had a small ottoman...feels slightly claustrobhopic and a little uncomfortable.

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

JBsAnno - stick with me and it will happen, just ask MAMABEAR --- she'll tell you!

10:50 pm

mamabear

ok. that gives me the other 4/4 i need the 5/10

10:50 pm

ruffh2o

add a vowel, mama

10:51 pm

JBsAnno

I stand on the shoulders of giants...
