harpjane

A Celt who once perched on the crest the pews,
Heard, â€œThe curl in the turd is drest as the dews.â€
To the curser she crept,
When she saw him she wept,
Twas no lech, just a Babbler looking for â€œcrews!â€

4:33 am

jenwould

4:41 am

zubie

I'm on 293, mica. I'm back to battling the re's. Never have I seen such a stubborn set of re words that won't just obligingly wave at me and say "here we are"!

;D Just 7 to go but I'm dizzy-dizzy-dizzy!

micamonkey

4:44 am

micamonkey

btw zubie, what the heck is that ts 6/18?

4:48 am

SunnFlower

mica think where you shop then change the letters round

4:49 am

zubie

That ts - imagine a wound and then think of spelling it like a biting insect which causes sleeping sickness.

4:49 am

zubie

Thanks, jen.

4:50 am

jenwould

tx zubie and ferrari

4:52 am

micamonkey

awesome! got the ts :D

Haz1558

You can do it, zubie

5:00 am

micamonkey

5:02 am

zubie

Wouldn't you know it? The one which describes sale of old stuff and the other one about polishing shoes over again!

And I'm done! Dizzy, delirious, but done.

300. [Collapses]

5:03 am

Haz1558

Well done!

5:03 am

Sherry

Wow! Congrats Zubie!

5:03 am

SunnFlower

well done zubie

5:03 am

zubie

Thanks, Haz! It took me nearly three hours - although I did take breaks in between.

5:03 am

jenwould

way to go Zubie ... you're the Babblest babbler of them all!

5:04 am

micamonkey

congrags zubie! i think ive been at this for 5 hours :(

5:04 am

Haz1558

It's a tremendous effort which gives some hope to the rest of us!

5:05 am

SunnFlower

morning haz, didn't see you come in

5:05 am

zubie

Thanks jen - I don't know about being the babblest babbler - but I'm certainly babbling with dizziness!

5:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning Ferrari, I crept in quietly so as not to disburb everyone...

5:06 am

Haz1558

disburb? disturb, I meant!

5:06 am

zubie

Well, I'm here for clues if anyone needs them. I hope tomorrow's grid will be a teeny one! :)

5:06 am

SunnFlower

disburb is a much nicer word

5:07 am

zubie

Disburb is cute - sounds like a fuzzy poodle with sleepy eyes. :D

5:07 am

Haz1558

Any clues for the meaning of disburb?

5:07 am

zubie

Just given, Haz. ;D

5:08 am

Haz1558

Could it be when chavs have a makeover and get rid of all their checked gear?

5:10 am

micamonkey

hey zubie, any clue for
lo 5/10 (that is not story, or the people and action who don't win)
oo 5/10
er 5/10 (not the mistake and not the one with the flower)

5:10 am

zubie

No idea. :D Could be the action of removing burrs from clothes ;)

5:13 am

zubie

lo 5/10 - sounds like slang for crazy, rhymes with loopy and could describe something being like a toilet.

I couldn't find a definition though.

5:14 am

zubie

oo - rhymes with the lo 5/10 - ending of it does.

5:14 am

micamonkey

zubie, thanks i got it
i think its another spelling for the name

5:15 am

micamonkey

oo's ending rhyme with lo 5/10? mmm

5:15 am

zubie

er 5/10 is like verses gone wrong.

5:16 am

micamonkey

yay got it :)
hmm back to my REs :S

5:18 am

zubie

How many re's have you left to get?

5:20 am

micamonkey

2 li
4 re
2 ro
3 se
3 so
1 tr

5:21 am

zubie

Oh - I thought it was just re's left. :s

5:22 am

micamonkey

i have 15 more words to go lol

5:23 am

micamonkey

btw what was that first RE 7/32?

5:25 am

Haz1558

I think it's re plus oi 5/12

5:26 am

zubie

It was a plant! It kept me searching for hours! An eastern North American bog plant. Its name is a combination of its colour (a primary colour) and a part of the basic structure of a plant -- leaves, stem and......

5:28 am

micamonkey

awesome lol

5:28 am

Poo's Mom

thank you zubie!!

5:30 am

zubie

Lol - too detailed a clue? I was cross with the word because I searched for it for ages! :D Sorry if the clue was too detailed. :D

5:31 am

jenwould

zubie, a clue for the 2nd lo 7/28 not the people that steal. please?

5:32 am

micamonkey

it wasnt that obvious :)

btw LI 6/18 and 5/10 (not the falsespeakers) anybody?

5:33 am

micamonkey

jen: sounds like a girl's name minus the A and add a consonant at the end
it means a person who makes saddles and briddles

5:33 am

zubie

The second lo 7, jen -- Someone who makes bits and spurs for bridles.

5:35 am

zubie

li 6/18 - a kind of rib in gothic vaulting

5:36 am

jenwould

tx mica and zubie!

5:36 am

zubie

li 5/10 - take the false-speaker and ask him to --- in hell. :o

5:37 am

jenwould

Zubie, evil yet oh so perfect clue for li 5/10 gracias!

5:38 am

zubie

Too evil. I was searching for an edit button right after I posted that. Apologies, everyone! :(

5:38 am

micamonkey

zubie: awesome :)
12 more to go *sweat*

5:39 am

micamonkey

awww zubie it wasnt that bad!
it was really creative

5:40 am

zubie

Thanks, mica. I feel a bit better. :)

5:41 am

micamonkey

onward and forward mmm
some clue for my REs pls? :D

5/10 (not slick, put again, take a break)
6/18 (not to come up again, plural of put again, shoe again, re+ friends of a mechanic lol)

5:44 am

zubie

re 5 - imagine describing a loong break. Or what you do in between babble sessions. ;) I couldn't find a definition, but describe a loong time of doing nothing.

And the re 6 is plural of that.

5:45 am

zubie

Another clue for that re - think re and the conjugation for 'he is' in French.

5:46 am

micamonkey

ahhhh its sort of like an alternative spelling huh? hmmm

5:47 am

micamonkey

wahhaha countdown for the last 10 words :D

5:48 am

Eva

Wow! Good morning everyone. 194 and grinding to a stutter. Any more clues on the person who make bits and bridles? Also- there was that fascinating clue a while ago for the non-furry squ over 12, which I just haven't been able to figure out. It's wonderful how swift and effective Dr.God is at removing vile interlopers!

5:50 am

zubie

For the sq, Eva, think of monarchy of the sq furry creatures. What might you call the leader of them all? ;D

5:50 am

micamonkey

eva: for the LO - did u try the girl's name?
for the furry... just change the last 3 letters of the other furry 8/55

5:50 am

Eva

How many letters zubie?

5:51 am

zubie

For the bits and bridles - it rhymes - the ending does, with a word for a sea-faring person.

5:51 am

micamonkey

zubie, gotta trouble u again *ack*
se 6/18 and 7/32

5:52 am

zubie

Eva - sq8 x 2

5:53 am

zubie

se 6 is an addition to your re break, mica!

5:54 am

zubie

se 7 means to be crowded together in rows or ranks.

5:55 am

SunnFlower

hi eva, yes Dr God is wonderful

5:56 am

micamonkey

unbelievable lol zubie danke danke danke

5:58 am

zubie

You're welcome, mica!

5:59 am

micamonkey

oh no! i tracked that i have 6 left but the list says i have 7 more! ARGHHH :o

5:59 am

zubie

How do you contact Dr God anyway? I mean - do pro players have a special facility?

6:00 am

micamonkey

well theres this comments/question button to drgod... is that the way people get in touch with him?

6:00 am

zubie

Did you get the sq, Eva?

6:01 am

Eva

Despite lots of monkey typing still totally stymied by the king furry thing and the bridler- I keep trying variations of the girls name with the ocean corps guys but to no avail. May have to come back to this later with fresh eyes.

6:02 am

Eva

The over 12 part of the clue is a total mystery!

6:03 am

FMitch

Hi All
Eva, take your sq6/27 and add another vowel and consonant.

6:03 am

jenwould

Eva ...last year I was 12, then I was thirt _ _ _.

6:04 am

FMitch

zubie - congrats on finishing, I've only just crossed the half way mark.

6:05 am

Eva

Thanks FMitch & jenwould! Got it finally! DUD.

6:05 am

zubie

Hi Mitch!

Eva - the female ruler (as in monarchy) of nuts-eating furry creatures could be called an sq8, where the other sq 8 refers to the nuts-eating furry creatures with bushy tails! ;D

6:05 am

FMitch

You are on a roll today with the clues zubie!!

6:06 am

zubie

Thanks Mitch. The grid today made me dizzy.

6:07 am

jenwould

could I get a clue on the ho6/24 pleeeeze.

6:07 am

zubie

Lol, Mitch - thanks. Should I stop the clues? ;D

6:07 am

micamonkey

help with the following pls (sorry im pasting all... its my last ones and i really need to get offline after 7 hours on babble EEEEEK)
ro 5/ 10 (not nest not flowers x 2 and not the memory one)
ro 6/ 18 (not the plurals of the above, not the duty calendar, not the one with the plant part)

so 6/ 18 (not the horse related, or the most painful)
so 5/ 10 (not the root of the above)
so 7/ 28 (not to be more apologetic)

tr 5/ 10 (not 3, plant, hair, person who attempt, or string)

6:07 am

FMitch

NO!!!! please don't stop!!

6:07 am

micamonkey

ARHGHHGH sorry i pasted so much :S

6:08 am

zubie

Yes, you could, jen, she said, in ho6 tones.

6:09 am

jenwould

thanks Zubie, 75 to go....

6:11 am

zubie

ro 5/10 rhymes with an animal which looks like an elk

ro 6 - plural of that

6:14 am

zubie

so 6/18 and so 5/10 are alt spellings for a kind of plant sometimes used as salad greens

6:15 am

zubie

Or your so 6/18 could be a French evening and the 7 is plural. I don't know which one you meant, mica.

6:18 am

zubie

tr 5 Remember Chemistry class and triple hydroxyl groups.

6:20 am

SunnFlower

I'm going crackers here, can't get the ro6's and the ro7 after Mr Harris, can someone please help me

6:21 am

micamonkey

zubie, lol i only managed to get the french evening
ack

6:23 am

zubie

Well, mica, do you have the so which rhymes with the partner of Hardy in that famous show?

The 5 would be an alternate spelling for that so 6.

6:23 am

zubie

The ----- and Hardy show, but this spelling is different. It only rhymes with it!

6:24 am

micamonkey

ack i have both the spellings for that word already

6:24 am

FMitch

ferrari - take your ro4/7 using the r in the middle and and add

6:24 am

FMitch

2 letters to get the 6 and then pluralise for the 7, - sounds like a piece of networking equipment

6:24 am

Eva

ferrari-I don't know who Mr harris is, so this may be useless, but do you have the deep tissue masage one?

6:25 am

zubie

ro 6 and 7, ferrari, build on your plant part and you might use the word to describe supporters of a show/party, etc.

6:25 am

micamonkey

zubie i think i have to retrack my words which would take a while....
but any other clue for the TR and RO? (i thought the animal that looks like elk = the **** that is in the grid right?)
i cant get the RO to rhyme with it lolol

6:26 am

zubie

Add a vowel to the grid animal, mica. You'll get the word. Or add a vowel to what a cow does!

6:26 am

Eva

The massage one has lots of build-ons

6:28 am

zubie

Tr 5, mica - I can't think of a better clue than triple hidroxyl groups, really! Triple alcohols.

Think of a short word for triple or three and build from there. Just two letters more.

6:29 am

zubie

I'm getting confused myself, now. :D mica - add a vowel to what a cow does, to get the animal with which the word you are looking for, rhymes.

6:29 am

Eva

Thanks zubie- got 3 words from that!

6:29 am

SunnFlower

Thankyou ever so much all of you. Eva, Ro4/7 Harris is an artist/entertainer often derided cos his art isn't highbrow enough but I like him

6:29 am

micamonkey

zubie... lol i sense ur desperation at my stupidity in my clues lol
but i found what i was missing! SIGH
FE 6 (not the animal and not the maggots)???

6:30 am

zubie

Phew! Glad you got it, mica. I was getting wrapped up in a tangle of my own clues! Lol!

6:31 am

micamonkey

havent gotten ur clue yet but then im trying to figure it out

6:31 am

zubie

Fe 6 is a word for untamed, mica.

6:32 am

Eva

So, back to this bridles and bits things. Little equine experience here. I was trying words like quiche lo______ withiout the a, and with the sailor ending, but nothing seemed to work. Sorry for the denseness!

6:35 am

micamonkey

ok.... *deep breath*
THREE more .....
lol still stuck at the RO and SO hahah
but then at least i got the others

6:35 am

Eva

Thought that was feral, zubie?

6:36 am

micamonkey

eva, not quite :)

6:37 am

zubie

It's another word for feral, Eva. Ending rhymes with a famous East European river.

6:38 am

micamonkey

any other clue for the RO?
its an animal?! there are many vowels in this word?!

6:39 am

Eva

got it zubie! Thanks - a new word.

6:40 am

zubie

Ok, Eva - back to the lo and bridles and bits.

We have the army, the navy and the -------.

The last are --------, right? Now, your lo rhymes with that. Lo------

6:41 am

zubie

Which ro, mica? I've forgotten - I'm confused now. :D Tell me which ro!

6:41 am

micamonkey

did anybody else get the RO word that zubie has been trying to describe? alternative clue??

zubie, the so 5/10 - i got the hardy one, the more painful and its plural... what am i missing?!

6:42 am

mickie

Morning everyone. Big puzzle today!

6:43 am

zubie

so 5 10, mica - think French Sun!

6:43 am

micamonkey

ok the 4 RO 5/10 i HAVE are the nest, 2 x flower related, and memorizing related
what am i missing?
And presumably its plural RO 6 right?

6:43 am

SunnFlower

Which ro is it mica, I've got them all at last

6:44 am

micamonkey

ok SO 5/10 check! :D ehhehe thanks zubie for putting up with me....
now just that 2 annoying RO left and im DONE

6:44 am

micamonkey

ferrari, see my list at 6.43 on the ROs that I HAVE

6:45 am

zubie

ro 5 - A dog barks, a cat mews, a cow...

Add a vowel to that to get an animal. Your ro is a match of that animal, mica.

6:45 am

micamonkey

:o *blanks*
ferrari any alternatives?

6:46 am

SunnFlower

mica, have the got the ones that rhyme with the nursery rhyme Go****, go**** gander?

6:46 am

micamonkey

FWAH I FINALLY GOT IT! lolololol

6:46 am

zubie

*Nearly weeping* It's an easy clue, mica! I've almost given you the exact word! :(

6:46 am

micamonkey

zubie lol i think if i were u i'd be banging my head against the wall at this monkey's stupidity! I WAS THINKING OF THE WRONG ANIMAL! lol

6:47 am

zubie

[Crossly at mica] I TOLD you it rhymed with an animal that looks like an elk!

*sulky*

;D

6:47 am

micamonkey

the problem was i didnt include the S at the end of the cow sound clue

6:47 am

micamonkey

but but but but zubieeee
theres ANOTHER animal in the grid that looks like an elk!!!

6:48 am

zubie

LOL mica! A cow ---? Not ---s? LOL! :D

6:49 am

zubie

It doesn't look like an elk! It's smaller! :D

6:49 am

micamonkey

I have been reading your kind thoughts and words on babblers anonymous. I just wanted to thankyou all.

Richard and I really appreciate them. People have been so kind - its incredible - you forget with all the bad stuff that you see and hear just how amazing people can be.

Thank you all - Sarah

7:37 am

sandr

when rich gets in from work I'll get him to read the posts and we will try and put something together so that you can all see how much we appreciate your compassion and kindness.

We knew babblers were lovely people - but this just confirms it.

7:37 am

zubie

7:39 am

baggo

7:39 am

raolen

could some1 give me a hint for fe7/44

7:40 am

Marc Freeman

Got the sound a like for Tiger Woods but only ro was only 27 so I missed the ro40 and other hints

7:41 am

zubie

fe 7/44 - The people were fe7/44 across the river.

I really HAVE to tear myself away from here!

7:42 am

baggo

gotta run to the dentist...back in a flash...**Poof**
sandr, be back in half hour, if you're still on!!!! rest should be around shortly. I know they would love to see you!!!

7:42 am

zubie

Marc - ro 6, 6 and 7 build on ro 4 which sounds like Liesel's love in The Sound of Music.

One ro 6 is past tense and think Tiger woods for the other 6 and 7. What is Tiger Woods?

7:42 am

raolen

good clue zoobie, thanks

7:48 am

micamonkey

anybody need any clues before i go?

7:52 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks Zubie, had the 4,6,and 6 couldn't find the plural. Very thick.

7:52 am

Babs1

Sandr...don't know what happened in your life..but blessings and condolences.

7:53 am

72 Temple Owl

Sarah - you and Richard have been in my thoughts...I am so sorry.
Jo Ann AKA Owl

7:54 am

Marc Freeman

On the i's don't be mad.

7:56 am

zubie

I'm still lurking here if clues are needed. Can't seem to tear myself away.

7:58 am

Babs1

wondering if there are bugs in the program...I type in a 4 letter word with hi and it says already used, but it doesn't appear on my list. I was able to enter the past tense for that word .

7:58 am

Bugzy

Sarah - Welcome back... and know that all of your Babble friends have been thinking about you.
God bless,
Cindy aka Bugzy

7:58 am

Blaze

I'm back and into the land of RE words.... do you think that the the word obvious will ever appear in a grid ?? LOL

7:59 am

Marc Freeman

I have been looking at the stats but can't seem to see how you find the specific letter with the number of letters and points.

Also, bottom 'i' I got the one that is past tense but am missing the second one. Any hints

7:59 am

Atalante

Babs1 - refresh your page and all should set itself right

7:59 am

Blaze

babs 1 try refreshing

8:00 am

zubie

Which i, marc?

8:01 am

Marc Freeman

Bottom 'i'

8:02 am

ToeSockMonkey

Morning all... wow 300 today. Good puzzle :)

8:02 am

davetins

Hi Zubie, I'm looking for the tr6/18 and 27 too, any clues

8:02 am

e_gurl85

good morning everyone hope you all had a great weekend

8:02 am

zubie

marc - the last i is similar to the past tense i you already have - it's a plural, though, not a past tense! Plural word.

8:04 am

zubie

Hi davetins! Wondered where you were! If you have been looking for the tr, you are a tr5, many of you would be a tr6.

Another word for attempter, davetins!

8:05 am

davetins

Got that one, need the last ones Zubie

8:05 am

zubie

Is that a tr 7/28 davetins? I can't find a 6/27

8:06 am

davetins

yes sorry, finger trouble
tr6/18 and 7/28

8:07 am

zubie

Tr 6 - group (think chemistry) with three carbon atoms.
You'll get the other from this.

8:07 am

Babs1

Thanks for the refresh hint...it worked..wondering how you all seem to get so many words so fast...do you work with dictionaries or just on your own??

8:07 am

raolen

I would like to apologiz to anyone who read the chat board early this morning and was offended by the things I said. It won't happen again.

8:08 am

Marc Freeman

On the bottom 'i' if it is plural then it goes in the other direction and tried every combo with no luck.

Also, on the two bottom 'o's put in two good words a good number and didn't take it. Is it me or do I have the wrong word.

8:09 am

Blaze

MF there are 3 I words...... two from the bottom i and one from the top i

8:09 am

zubie

Oh marc! Just figured out what you mean! I think you're missing the i which rhymes with the word for "putting something ---- another"

8:11 am

zubie

davetins - did you get the tr's?

8:13 am

Marc Freeman

Zubie, how many letters and is it still plural. Why can't I see this one. Any clues on the 'o's

8:13 am

davetins

thanks Zubie still need second fl6/27please

8:14 am

Blaze

marc OP

8:14 am

EvaNadine

marc -- there are two "angry i's -- one from the top and one from the bottom.
the other i from the bottom -- "to have your ducks all i* a **w"

8:15 am

zubie

Marc, I'm not sure which i you're missing.

First i rhymes with the word for putting something ---- another.
Second i - Another way of saying Angers.
Third i - Also related to anger.

8:16 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks finally but it wasn't plural got the other two angry 'i's earlier

8:16 am

zubie

fl 6 davetins - a composite or reduced flower

8:17 am

zubie

Yes, I know, marc. My mistake. When you said 'bottom i' I thought you meant the list, not the grid. :s

8:17 am

EvaNadine

sometimes people say plural for any word with an S on the end, before the look to see that its a verb form, not a plural...heh

8:18 am

Marc Freeman

Any one get the two o's on the bottom of the grid. I had the two of them but they don't work. How do I find out how many letters and points for each?

8:19 am

EvaNadine

o-christmas tree, and its past tense

8:19 am

DarleenMB

Marc, go to the right ... click on Babbler's anonymous and then (I think) general where you'll find the stats that Brandyjack has posted.

8:20 am

FMitch

Marc, if you go to the babblers anon link on the right hand sife of this page then to general and stats you get a full isting

8:20 am

Blaze

marc on the upper right of this page is friends of babbler cllick on bab anon.... in that site there is a stats list...under general

8:20 am

snowyowl

Hi all just grabbing a 1/2 hour until the littlies are back from school.
Sandr you have been in my thoughts & prayers.
Raolen - your apology noted. Much beter to keep this log pleasant and fun for everyone.

8:20 am

Blaze

good morning Fmitch how are you?

8:22 am

davetins

TY Zubie, but isn't that the fourth one???

8:22 am

Minski

Is Sandr here? Or rather are Sandr here? I've been thinking a lot about them the last few days. My thoughts and prayers have been with them also.

8:23 am

Babs1

So...do most of you use some kind of dictionary look up for help or just work from your naturally fabulous vocabularies????

8:23 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks all your are great, now I have to get to my 'o's being Jewish the Christmas tree hint may be a stretch but I will try.

8:23 am

zubie

There are five, davetins. Are you missing the surface upon which you walk?

8:24 am

snowyowl

Minski - Sandr posted a message @ 7.12 am.

8:24 am

Blaze

babs a little of all for me I use a2z to assist,,, and the more babbleyou do the more words you use....

8:24 am

EvaNadine

marc -- just a type of tree...

8:25 am

davetins

One before that Zubie, there's 5 on the list???

8:25 am

Babs1

Blaze...thanks...what is a 2z?

8:25 am

zubie

Babs - today I made it on my own up to 200 or so - then I had to look at the list. And some monkey typing helped towards the end. :)

8:25 am

FMitch

Hi Blaze, good to see you again! just popped back in for 5 mins, can't stay long and I know I am not going to get this grid done but it's been fun so far.

8:26 am

Blaze

it is an online dictionary http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/w ordlookup.html but not the enable dictionary that babbler uses.. I can put it up on a second window when I want to

8:27 am

Babs1

zubie...that's impressive...so far only about 90 words for me...you must have a great vocabulary!

8:27 am

Atalante

I've got 86 words left to found, and about to turn to brandyjack's stats and then a2z!

8:28 am

Minski

Thanks Snowy. It was good to hear from them again. Tough grid. Lots of words. No chance to finish today. just monkeying around.

8:28 am

zubie

There are five fl 6, davetins - unless I'm going cross-eyed and counting wrongly. :(

I think you mean the fl 6 which rhymes with an lo 5 you have. The lo 5 sounds like a word for crazy which rhymes with loopy.

Ok. That makes no sense. :D

Let me think of another clue.

8:28 am

zubie

Not impression, Babs - it's just that now I'm beginning to recognise some babble words!

8:29 am

zubie

Tired fingers - I meant 'impressive' not 'impression', Babs.

8:30 am

snowyowl

I know the feeling Minski! I have moaned twice that the grid was too small and now we get this one! LOL. I'd better keep the moans to myself next time!

8:30 am

zubie

davetins - for that fl 6 - imagine a child describing what a bird did when it flapped its wings.. ooh the birdy ------

Just spell it differently and rhyme it with 'y'.

8:32 am

Marc Freeman

I have 3 fl6 all at 27 one you walk on, one for the plane and for a vase, now which two am I missing.

8:32 am

raolen

could some1 help me with fl6/27 that comes before ground

8:32 am

davetins

at last TY Zubie

8:34 am

Marc Freeman

fl6/27 go back to the air

8:34 am

zubie

You're missing a composite flower, Marc. And the other which I'm trying to clue-ie ;) davetins in on.

The last fl = think icebergs and an fl word for them. Add an extra middle vowel and one at the end.

Can't think of a better clue. :s

8:35 am

zubie

Thank goodness you got it, davetins! I was running out of ways to give a clue - couldn't find a definition for it!

8:35 am

Blaze

fl 27 the smokie went up the fl**** double vowel and ends with two vowels

8:36 am

EvaNadine

i think im missing the vase Fl -- any other hints?

8:38 am

zubie

Eva - think of composite flowers - or do you have that fl?

8:38 am

EvaNadine

i have that one

8:39 am

EvaNadine

nevermind, i cant count -- i have them all..heh

8:39 am

zubie

Then I think you're missing the coin, Eva. Not the vase.

8:39 am

Marc Freeman

Blaze the double vowel and ends in two vowels with no constanant can't find it. I have the one in the vase, the ground and the air

8:40 am

Blaze

across the top and back in again --- turn at the r

8:41 am

EvaNadine

marc -- just keep noodling around, youll find it eventually...
if you read the harry potter books, think of what they use to travel around in chimneys!

8:42 am

ToeSockMonkey

Anyone have clues on the 9 letter words yet? :)

8:43 am

EvaNadine

TSM -- theres a So 6-7-8-9 combo that means Something that joins or cements, esp dealing with metals...

8:44 am

zubie

Ok - this time, I'm really out of here. Bye, everyone!

8:45 am

Poo's Mom

evanadine i should be flogged for missing that.... all those years i so**** ed in my dad's shop!

8:46 am

ToeSockMonkey

Evan, thank you much! Looking for it now! :)

8:47 am

EvaNadine

if anyone has any clues on the other 9, id be much obliged!

8:49 am

Blaze

re 9 so 6/21 plural

8:49 am

lottijw

Evanadine....re9 is to so6/21 again!

8:50 am

EvaNadine

thanks muchly!

8:52 am

Marc Freeman

back to the fl6, I know the word, I know what it is in the chimney I went across the top using each letter and back again crossing the r but no combo worked. I feel thick, aaahhhhggg.

8:53 am

EvaNadine

HP powder + vocab rule "* before * except after c"

8:54 am

davetins

marc sounds like wahat the bird did then add the latin abbreviation for that is

8:55 am

Blaze

don't cross 2 down 1 over up 1 back 1 over down

that is no hooey

8:55 am

Blaze

don't cross the r

8:55 am

davetins

I'm struggling for the 2nd re7/32, any help appreciated

8:58 am

Babs1

think fixing shoes

8:58 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry guys I got it but what is the last fl6 if there is 5 I am still missing one.

on the so6/21 got it but the re9 can't find

If I am bugging anyone let me know, I am certainly bugging me.

8:59 am

Blaze

Marc maybe you need a break... relax and it will come clear.... re words are alway redoing of something

9:01 am

davetins

got that one babs, its the one after the horse control

9:02 am

lianakate

well, if Marc doesnt need a break..lol, I do..182 and brain dead..gotta feed the dogs anyway..Good luck all!!

9:05 am

davetins

Marc add 2 letters to the re6/21 then pluralise

9:08 am

Marc Freeman

I have two re6 both 18 no 21.

Can't rest now I am on a roll with other letters just keep coming back to the ones I am stuck on.

9:09 am

ToeSockMonkey

fl 6/27 is just the plural of 5/16 :)

9:09 am

Marc Freeman

just got a third re6 but also at 18.

9:10 am

EvaNadine

just a note...since there are 300 words in todays puzzle, it doesnt make much sense to pinpoint a word or two unless youre almost finished...
just noodle around for a while -- it helps a lot.
:)

9:11 am

Marc Freeman

Now got a re6 but 24

9:11 am

Haz1558

re 6/21 is made up of re plus so 4/5 ( what happens when something is bought - it is so**).

9:11 am

ToeSockMonkey

re 9/60 is the plural of re 8/45 you will find them if you have the "so" words. so 6 and so 7

9:13 am

davetins

anyone finishe the re's, I only need the 10th and 11th in the list to finish. Help please

11:32 am

lottijw

Thanks Haz i needed that one too!! What a strange word :/

11:33 am

Haz1558

I know, it would be another difficult one to work into conversation...

11:34 am

lottijw

You`re not kidding!! LOL

11:34 am

ToeSockMonkey

Sherry - who is that man in the picture? And what's it like it France today? :) I am planning of visiting early next year! :)

11:35 am

Sherry

Captain Apollo (Jamie Bamber), in Battlestar Galactica!

11:36 am

Sherry

Things are getting better, here. Slowly. I live just next street from a district where the guys and the police fought.

11:37 am

cybernan

Thanks Haz -- thought that was Irish dialect!

11:38 am

Haz1558

You're right, Cybernan, it does sound vaguely Irish.

11:38 am

Sherry

In Toulouse, it's rainy today. Otherwise it's a great place! Gorgeous architecture.

11:39 am

ToeSockMonkey

Sherry - Wow! Well, either way, I can't wait to see the beauty of France. A year ago today I was in London and then after that it was Scotland. I love to travel!

11:40 am

Sherry

Lucky you TSM! I haven't travelled in a while. I'm planning to move to Ireland...just need the money!

11:40 am

ToeSockMonkey

Time for lunch. I think I am going to go find myself some Thia food! =o)

11:42 am

ToeSockMonkey

Ginger, yes 300 words total and there are 6 QU words

Haz1558

The sun does shine here sometimes....

11:44 am

ToeSockMonkey

Sherry - LOL! Yes! Bring a few of those! And rain slicker and some good water proof heals! lol I hear Scotland and Ireland are a lot alike. If so, you will love the country! Castles, sheep, men in kilts! lol

11:44 am

Sherry

Of course! But in Ireland, the weather seems to be changing every quarter of an hour.

11:45 am

Haz1558

We're never stuck for something to talk about when the weather is as changeable as it is!

11:46 am

Sherry

Ha Ha Ha! You're right!

11:46 am

ToeSockMonkey

More fun chat after lunch. I have to go before I don't get the chance! lol

11:50 am

FMitch

Hi again,
Can't believe I am glad when the grid says I "only" have 82 words left to find. Now I remember why I said I would never do a grid with more than 200 words!!!!!!

11:50 am

cybernan

Thanks GW - tried it and wouldn't accept -- will have to refresh & try try again!

11:51 am

Atalante

*grins* cerys is great!

11:51 am

GreyWoulf

LOL, FMitch :D

(80 to go here)

11:51 am

FMitch

Hey GW good to see you - sprite would have really enjoyed this one today wouldn't she!

11:52 am

baggo

34 here and i think they might just kill me..

11:52 am

baggo

hey fmitch...yes she would...lots of other words for her to see too!

11:52 am

FMitch

so true baggo, so true!!!

11:53 am

GreyWoulf

Yes, she would!

11:53 am

Took it this time! -- that's about the 3rd time it's happened today.

11:54 am

GreyWoulf

11:54 am

Jera

Greetings, all... Merry Meet, GreyWoulf! It's been awhile!

11:55 am

GreyWoulf

Merry Meet, Jera!!

How have you been?

11:55 am

cybernan

Sorry, GW - don't have it either.

11:55 am

FMitch

2nd fe6/27 is the one that is like a weasel and then pluralise it for the fe7

11:55 am

Jera

Still trying to get completely well... having a bit of heart trouble due to the nagging cough... too sick for a flu shot again this year!

11:56 am

cybernan

Thanks, Jera!

11:56 am

GreyWoulf

OMG, I looked for that five times this AM and completely missed it!!! Way to many e's, r's and t's on this board :D

11:57 am

Jera

*looks confused at cybernan*

11:58 am

Jera

Those F-words gave me fits, too. I would try to help but I would prolly just confuse everyone, LOL!

11:59 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear that, Jera... Would you mind if I did some work on your behalf?

12:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry about timelag on response -- daughter is climbing all over me and watching her music videos as is typical for the middle of the day :D

12:00 pm

FMitch

GM I know, so easy to get lost in the forest of e's and r's. I still have a lot of the re's to do wish I hadn't left them till almost last.
I've got all the f's if anyone needs clues.

12:00 pm

Jera

Oh please, I can use all the help I can get... Sprite is working on a health philtre for me... her first on her own!

12:01 pm

Jera

I forget, how old is she? And you are expecting another soon, if memory serves?

12:01 pm

Priscilla

Hey Jera, Never mind the flu shot - go herbal! I take astralagus daily (I usually use the capsuls but sometimes a tincture), also reishi (Chinese mushroom, available in capsule form) - recommended by my Herbal Pharmacology teacher to bolster your immune system!

12:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera - consider it done :) If you want to email me with any extra details, my address is in my bio

12:03 pm

Jera

Astralagus? That's a new one for me, sounds lovely! What does it do? My echinacea is all that keeps my strep throat at bay. I'm very susceptible & that seems to be the favorite to bring home from school this year...

12:04 pm

Jera

Thank you GreyWoulf, I'm honored...

12:06 pm

aknitter

en 5/10 clu anyone?

12:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera - also consider increasing the amount of garlic in your diet -- it is serves to both strengthen the heart and boost the immune system -- tablet form would be just fine

12:06 pm

12:06 pm

Priscilla

The echinacea is great when you're sick. The astralagous (you can find the capsules in most health food stores or departments), as well as the resishi, are good for building up your immune system. I take them daily, plus extra Vitamin C, from about October through May. They're more for a preventive.

12:07 pm

Jera

I never much cared for garlic... do the pills give you bad breath?

12:07 pm

aknitter

that is what i thought that en was but i keep getting that evil message about not being a word !! Grrr

12:08 pm

Jera

Thanks for the tips Priscilla... i will check those out! Echinacea isn't that good as a preventative, but great to knock it out when you first get sick. I know the early warning signs of strep like the signs of sunrise...

12:08 pm

Haz1558

aknitter - it IS a word - keep trying and it should accept it eventually.

12:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Depends on the pill, I think-- that's one of the things that Larry King always mentions in his commercials for the Garlique(sp.) pills - no odor

12:09 pm

Jera

It's ro4/4 that has to do with plants...

12:09 pm

ScoutsMom

aknitter: I kept trying to spell it how I normally do, but it only works if you stop typing after five letters.

12:09 pm

FMitch

aknitter - I went through that this morning until I realised it was a 5 letter word and I was trying to make it a 6 letter one... and then it took.

12:10 pm

aknitter

hahahaha i am a dope!

12:10 pm

GreyWoulf

aknitter - it anly works as a 5 letter with no double letters, the en6 is unrelated

12:10 pm

Jera

I've heard garlic is very good, but eating it gives me really bad breath... maybe that's the real secret... no one comes near you, so you don't get sick, LOL!

12:11 pm

FMitch

LOL Jera, I love garlic, but can't eat too much but the pills and extracts you can get really do help w/o too much of the side effects of eating the real thing

12:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Jera -maybe, but an old Italian folk remedy for ending a cold that I have used successfully is to eat a clove of raw garllic with a shot of lemon juice --- Breath stinks, so I did it before bed at night, but it worked ;D

12:12 pm

walnutchen

morning all... anyone has clues for the last 3 tr's? are they all related?

tanks!

12:12 pm

FMitch

one of my fave smells is onions and garlic sauteing in a pan with a smidge of butter............ drooooool

12:13 pm

mab

Jera: excuse me for jumping in here; I second Grey Woulfe's suggestion re garlic capsules. Some brands are odorless so that you don't go around smelling garlicky. They are very good for the heart. You should check with your doctor first, of course.

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

Jera

I used to like garlic, used it a lot in cooking, but for some reason after having kids, it gives me really bad heartburn. I'm sensitive to lots of stuff that never bothered me before. Weird.

12:13 pm

Jera

Thanks mab... half the fun around here is jumping into conversations!

12:15 pm

FMitch

or as they were saying earlier to poof in or out of the log!

12:16 pm

torgone

Darn right, Jera.

12:16 pm

mab

Grey Woulf: I had a terrible bronchitis one year and my doctor recommended boiling roughly chopped garlic and wather and then putting a towel over my head and breathing in the steam. If worked like a dream. Did smell pretty garlicky though.

12:16 pm

GreyWoulf

FMitch - now I'm hungry.....
My favorite sidedish is green beans sauteed with garlic and onions, only prob is that unless I or my mom make it, no one gets it right (I like a LOT of garlic :D )

12:16 pm

baggo

lol torgone...you are the king of "poo"

12:16 pm

baggo

ooops i mean "poof"...lol

12:16 pm

lottijw

Hey babe ya still here then x :)

12:17 pm

baggo

12:17 pm

lottijw

LOL Baggo!

12:17 pm

torgone

Yes, and apparently I've been promoted to King of Poo. I'm so proud!

12:18 pm

Jera

Did it make you smell garlicky, mab? I think I could handle breathing it, sounds appealing for some reason...

12:18 pm

baggo

and i'm sure you're much prettier than the real queen!!!

12:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Mab - it is amazing how folk remedies and simple herbal applications are becoming more accepted by the medical community, isn't it?

12:18 pm

baggo

torgone..i luv ya!!!

12:18 pm

mab

I meant to type 'water.' Don't use 'wather.' Wouldn't work with 'wather.'

Anyway, garlic is a great disinfectant.

12:18 pm

lottijw

You two crack me up:)

12:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

May i have clues for el and for er7/32. please?

12:19 pm

baggo

ok now i'm jumping in, i think there is a huge need for the 2 of them to go hand in hand (medical community and herbs.) i am a huge advocate of herbs, thought of going into that for a while, and still may.

12:20 pm

baggo

here yee here yee....all bow for the King of Poo, and the Queen of Poof....**bows to torgone and lotti**

12:20 pm

FMitch

GW - I would agree with that, variaton would be to add some tomatoes, or tom puree. I have got to stop chatting as I won't finish and I am determined to since I have started this tortuous trail!!!!! and I too am starving now!!!!! Maybe will phone the local Indian and order sizzling garlic chicken!

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

mab

My doctor's wife is a nutritionist and has her office adjacent to Bruce's (my doctor). It is important though to tell your doctor about her usage, however, if you're taking any meds. And yes, I did smell like a garlic plantation after the updraft thing.

12:22 pm

Cmith

Jera:

lo 7/ 28 plural of lo 6/18 (plunderers)
lo 7/ 28 (one who makes horse harnesses and saddles - alternate spelling)

12:22 pm

baggo

jera...a stealer and a spur

12:22 pm

GreyWoulf

lo 7/28 - plural of the lo6 (one who takes advantage of a disaster for personal gain via illegal means)

12:23 pm

Jera

One of my pet peeves is using -est incorrectly... like "My Dearest Wife" ...good grief, man how many do you have??

12:23 pm

sandypops

any clues for pi7 or pi8???

12:23 pm

sandypops

12:28 pm

artlady

mab

FMitch, what do you mean 'was' the queen of faeries? Hmmmm?

Ok. Must really concentrate on puzzle.

12:31 pm

Cmith

Jera - sometimes I think the only thing I learn playing this game is alternate spellings

12:32 pm

torgone

That's why I'm the king, baggo.

Okay, the lo7 - horse thingy is not a word I'm familiar with ..

12:32 pm

baggo

12:34 pm

lottijw

Cos Baggo my dear you look beautiful honey!!!!

12:34 pm

Jera

Cmith... I think my spelling has taken a turn for the worse since I started playing this game!

12:34 pm

ScoutsMom

jera. are you using a pen on your computer monitor again? you know that doesn't come off easily...

12:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Whereas my daughter (2yo) has chosen to leave daddy alone so she can watch the Backyardigans...lol

12:35 pm

baggo

A maker of bits, spurs, and metal mounting for bridles and saddles; hence, a saddler. (lo7/28) or think of ben cartwright, the actor who played him, his first name put a vowel after the second consonant and repeat that consonant on the end...

12:35 pm

mab

Lotti, don't you mean Torgone is your knight in shining plumage?

12:35 pm

Jera

LOL, scoutsmom... I'm nowhere with out my little pen & paer chart to keep track of what I don't have! Old & new working in harmony...

12:35 pm

12:36 pm

lottijw

12:36 pm

Jera

I'm starting to get worried at how my son loves Dora... thank the gods somebody invented Diego...

12:36 pm

ScoutsMom

ah. I was going to suggest using crayon instead; at least that melts a bit when the monitor warms up.

no. my daughter NEVER draws on mine. I swear.

12:37 pm

Jera

Doll... you know not what you ask... run away, quickly before you are answered!!!

12:37 pm

FMitch

12:37 pm

torgone

I need a lot more "d" words!

12:37 pm

ScoutsMom

Scout's in love with Johnny Depp as Willie Wonka. Thanks to mtnjock, she calls him a "hottie."

12:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Backyardigans are a group of animated preschoolers created by Nickelodeon.... every day they have a different adventure which is themed to a different music style

12:38 pm

Doll414

now I understand why I don't know who they are - my baby is 21

12:38 pm

ScoutsMom

GW, that sounds cool. Man, I gotta get cable.

12:38 pm

Doll414

12:39 pm

FMitch

12:39 pm

baggo

lol torgone!!!!

12:39 pm

GreyWoulf

lol, Doll

12:39 pm

torgone

Scoutsmom - It's not so much the pen marks, but when you make mistakes, the white-out really fouls thing up.

12:39 pm

Doll414

Fmitch I was lucky enough to miss out on Barney lol

12:40 pm

FMitch

Doll, I have to admit I did see a couple o fthose and all I can say is I am still in therapy!!!!!

12:40 pm

GreyWoulf

ScoutsMom - it is very cool, they do a good job of showing kid logic in action... also for the more grownup viewers, they have included subtle tribute to other older TV shows

12:40 pm

ScoutsMom

I've heard that, Torgone, but since I never mess up, I haven't run into the problem. Thanks for the tip, though!

12:41 pm

baggo

hey hey watch it ...that's my last name, and talk about kidding...i got about 10 of them as gag shower gifts!

12:41 pm

Doll414

Fmitch lol

12:41 pm

ScoutsMom

I've kept her away from the truly annoying shows thus far (barney, et al) but I know that time is limited.

12:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Doll - the purple dino is not allowed here --- there are so better shows out there, IMHO

12:42 pm

Doll414

when mine were little I really did love Mr. Rogers - quiet time in my house

12:42 pm

baggo

well i guess i'd better leave then...:-(

12:42 pm

Jera

We have very few absolutes here, but 2 of them are... no Barney, no Barbie.

12:43 pm

ScoutsMom

Ah! Birds of a feather! If only I could convince her dad and his parents of that...

12:43 pm

lottijw

Torgone, they`re not just D`s they`re DD`s LOL
You can have them if tou like though! Anyway must go for a while, i`ll be back later ((((xxx))))

Jera

12:44 pm

baggo

12:44 pm

Jera

I was in love with Mr. Rogers as a child!! So sad when he died.

12:44 pm

ScoutsMom

12:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Baggo - you are NOT a purple dino, so what are yo talking about?!

12:47 pm

ScoutsMom

Jera, I was in love with Bill Nye the Science Guy. I don't think he's gone forever, but I'm pretty sure his show was cancelled.

12:47 pm

FMitch

efor - glad you got it - sometimes the log moves so fast things can be lost.

12:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Yeah, Bill Nye is still doing science, just as host for the occasional special for discoery or the science channel...

12:49 pm

ScoutsMom

Don't toy with me, GW.

12:49 pm

baggo

bill nye used to have a great website,not sure if it's still updated...kids loved it..

12:50 pm

Jera

Bill Nye is awesomely cool... love that show. Is it out on DVD??

12:50 pm

baggo

scoutsmom, i just saw h im last week on cnn, talking about the hurricanes and tornados and the environment..

12:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Not toying, just sharing info -- he seems to have shifted focus to adults, though (don't know why...)

12:50 pm

ScoutsMom

Bill Nye is hot.

12:51 pm

ScoutsMom

Perhaps more adults are recognizing him as the chick magnet he truly is. Whoo! I need some air.

12:52 pm

cybernan

When my kids were little, Sesame Street was the new show on the air -- my baby is 34 now -- it's hard to believe that Kermit & gang have been around that long! -- must be close to 40 years!

12:52 pm

GreyWoulf

(*Cold glass of water for ScoutsMom*)

12:53 pm

GreyWoulf

C-nan -Sesame Street is 37, just like me! My mom loves pointing that out to me :D

12:54 pm

Jera

Now don't you people be a bad influence on me... I have to go pick up the Sprite at school in half an hour...

12:54 pm

GreyWoulf

12:54 pm

Cmith

cybernan

12:57 pm

Hey, I've only been doing French for two years :)

1:02 pm

Tuva

My God provides for me with His Noodly Appendage

1:02 pm

cybernan

Who do we petition to get fest accepted as a word!!!?

1:03 pm

evanonut

not me, typed it ten times before i believed it

1:04 pm

Jera

Tuva... yes, in English it is droll... in French it is drole... just like et6, which is precisely my beef with this puzzle... the inconsistency as to what is valid.

1:04 pm

GreyWoulf

How many times did you try to enter today, c-nan?
I always try at least once per grid in hopes that the universe has shifted :D

1:04 pm

ScoutsMom

Well, I just couldn't resist. Refresh, Y'all.

1:04 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, ScoutsMom!!!

1:05 pm

Jera

I know just enough French to get myself in trouble... ;>

1:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

Like I say, babble est grande! Though I always find French too jangly. Way too many ways it can go wrong...

1:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

Jera, I shudder to think :)

1:05 pm

aling5

Geez, I'm having a hard time with the q's. I've got the remark and the paper ones, but I can't find the other 3. Any hints?

1:07 pm

Cmith

Scots mom - tres, tres gross. Almost as bad as the er7/32 word

1:07 pm

Tuva

Jera.... consider that there is no inconsistency within the puzzle as to what is valid. Consider that the only inconsistencies that exist are within your own perception of the situation. The puzzle is whole, complete and perfect.

1:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Baggo, and well done :D
Jera, it is there if you believe it is there ^_^

1:07 pm

baggo

true true gw

1:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey hurshy -- how's tricks?

1:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Hurshy...why poor and buffeted?
Torgone, that's too bad. But think of the plusses..."does my bum look big in this" will be a long, long distant memory, hm?

1:15 pm

torgone

There's a buffet???

Hi hurshy!

the offensive chat that occured this morning was two students at my school. i don't know who the worse one was, but our tech people are finding out.

1:16 pm

baggo

wow hershy, funny how kids don't realize how they can get caught doin things on the internet..

1:17 pm

baggo

torgone i don't mind at all...

1:17 pm

hurshy

the worst part is that now that the tech folks know about this site, they may block it altogether, since they block most game sites to keep students from wasting time. and since they don't have separate rules for faculty, i may end up not able to play anymore either. if i disappear, that's why.

1:17 pm

GreyWoulf

hurshy - thank you for your efforts on our behalf. On the other hand, sorry that your students let you down like that

1:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

I take the opportunity to apologize for my generation...

1:17 pm

2:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh - sorry dachef : )

2:23 pm

mab

Hi Lola. It must be international faerie appreciation day, for Baggo is a faery as well. Or are you a bug? You'd think I could tell the difference.

2:23 pm

tegrenath

you said it.

and raolen, the old lady name is spelled with an h.

2:23 pm

Dachef

Hi Lola, temple.

Its getting a bit crowded in here isnt it. Nobody break wind or we'll have to open the windows again.

2:23 pm

hurshy

actually, anj, it was a fairly unpleasant scandal which may result in all of us at the school being unable to babble in future.

2:24 pm

lola100

Hey you! (((xxx)))
Did you miss me?? Are you going to fl5/16 with me tonight?

2:25 pm

Anj

2:25 pm

movieman

Does ne1 else find, like I do, whenever there is a large number of words 2 find like today, that they get so far and then can't be bothered 2 do anything else but chat 2 other people in the game...?

2:25 pm

lola100

Hey boreetos! :)

2:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey boreeeeeeeeeetos!

2:26 pm

Anj

Greetings & salutations Boreetos :)

2:26 pm

FMitch

Anj, unless you are prepared to go back and read the log from this morning, let is rest as it was rather unplesant.

2:26 pm

Jen

yuck e_gurl! I lived in Nebraska for 3 years so I know the tornado drill. Only place in our house (it was military housing) that wasn't near a HUGE plate glass window was the bathroom... try getting 4 adults (my in-laws were in town), a child, a lab dog, and a surly cat into a 4x4 room!! LOL

2:26 pm

hurshy

tegrenath - you're welcome to bring your laptop over and babble here if you like.
raolen - same to you IF you aren't supposed to be at practice!

2:26 pm

tegrenath

movieman, i haven't quite reached that point yet, but i think it's rapidly approaching.

2:26 pm

Anj

Fits & starts movieman, fits & starts :)

Is that a Kuberick baby???

2:27 pm

raolen

no i have a friend back home, my age, whos name isnt spelled with an h
almost positive

2:27 pm

Dachef

movieman - yup!

thats why the log moves so quickly on nights like this. I doubt whether any of us is anywhere near finishing (I could be wrong), but everyone gets to a point where they say, sod it, lets see whats happening in the log!

2:28 pm

movieman

Anj - it certainly is...2001 being 1 of my favourite films of all time..

2:28 pm

Anj

Hi FMitch :) Ah, right...maybe when i've finished then...

How are you??

2:28 pm

raolen

well id like to but according to those rules i can't

2:28 pm

hurshy

raolen - that's fine - we believe you. are you purposely trying to drive me crazy here or what?

2:28 pm

lola100

A frog?? Why would I do that?

2:28 pm

hurshy

raolen - please go to practice. i thought you didn't want to get in any more trouble!

2:28 pm

FMitch

Dachef - just got to that exact point(225) is my SIP sod it point today.

2:29 pm

Anj

Lo, magic fairy dust, residual spell effects and all that :)
I like to wake up the same shape, and especially the same species ;)

2:29 pm

raolen

click *raolen pretends to sign off*

2:29 pm

tegrenath

am i the only person who finds a brilliantly clever word from time to time... only to find i've already got it?

maybe i shouldn't start these late at night.

2:30 pm

hurshy

tegrenath, you coming over?

2:30 pm

tegrenath

oh, and raolen, did you ever get the other ee?

2:31 pm

raolen

just a variation of the first one

2:31 pm

movieman

Referring back 2 my last post...wot r other Babblers' fave movies...

2:31 pm

tegrenath

well, technically i'm supposed to be working right now, it's just not coming along too well. i have two sentances.

2:31 pm

hurshy

if you are working and babbling on the same computer, you can do either one here, and perhaps i can be of some assistance.

2:32 pm

lola100

Babe, you're forgetting that I'm just the absinthe fairy. Don't know any spells :)

2:32 pm

mab

'Hiroshima, mon amour'

2:32 pm

tegrenath

well, maybe i will come over. except if i come over i can play video games when i get frustrated enough.

2:34 pm

raolen

could i get a hint for ne6 plz

2:34 pm

hurshy

babbling was so relaxing before i introduced my students to the game...

ok, so can i have a clue for the last er 5/10? i have been monkeying for ages to no avail

2:34 pm

Ouwachita

any clues on the te7's...plz

2:34 pm

tegrenath

that should have been a can't.

2:35 pm

e_gurl85

hurshy are your students on here now or something

2:35 pm

raolen

the part of a song that doesn't repeat (without the first letter)

2:36 pm

hurshy

yes, and one of them is supposed to be at practice. but unless i want to hunt for him all over campus, i can't make him go. as a result, he may get in trouble, giving me an ulcer, especially if he gets suspended.

2:36 pm

DarleenMB

have I missed a clue for the so9? I"m stumped.

2:36 pm

raolen

sounds like a troublemaker to me

2:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Je suis Batman :D

2:37 pm

evanonut

pkay hurshy, just got back from viewing the scandal, yipes.

2:37 pm

raolen

2:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Where was the scandal?

2:37 pm

Anj

movieman, still go with Dogma, although there are a few queueing up behind... Constantine, Kelly's Heroes, Finding Nemo, Repo Man, Brazil, Grosse Pointe Blank...to name but a few

2:37 pm

evanonut

was that the right word?

2:38 pm

hurshy

or maybe he's not such a troublemaker, really, but is just mad at me and therefore doesn't care so much if he gets in trouble?

2:38 pm

boreetos

anj, why are naming awesome movies?

2:38 pm

raolen

could any1 give a clue for ne6?

2:39 pm

boreetos

you

2:39 pm

Cmith

ScoutsMom

And you know, I was just realizing the similarities between Bill Nye and my Gentleman Friend.

2:44 pm

boreetos

scoutsmom, that's hilarious. I live in the great norhtwest, where we used to have a little show called AlmostLive, and he was on there all the time.

2:46 pm

FMitch

Anj, thanks for asking how I am in earlier posting - not doing to well right now. But all will be fine in the fullness of time.

3:04 pm

Babbler

*fans Lola and offers smelling salts*

3:04 pm

Cmith

Movieman- what is wrong with the 1958 version of The Fly? Do you hate Vincent Price?

3:04 pm

ToeSockMonkey

James Bond with Pierce!? Oh yes please!

3:05 pm

Anj

I'm pining for the good old 80/90s flicks... Police Academy (with Steve Guttenberg only), One Crazy Summer, The Last Starfighter, Pump up the Volume, Cool World, Heathers, Johnny Mnenomic (or however you spell it...) Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed & Confused...

3:05 pm

lola100

Babs! You did it, you went pro! :D

3:05 pm

Babbler

Miy, what was the first big animated Japanese movie? Was it Akira?? I saw it early 90s. Very violent!

3:06 pm

Babbler

well, you and Anj did get on my case yesterday!! LOL!
I got last.fm as well........ don't think the neighbours were expecting Led Zeppelin on a Sunday afternoon!!! :D

3:06 pm

Bobsta

porkies and i definately agree about steve guttenburg in police academy

3:06 pm

Miyavi_fan

If it was early 90's I probably wouldn't have heard of it...at that time I was blissfully unaware of Miyavi, J-rock, and, in fact, Japan at large

3:07 pm

torgone

Spaghetti Bolognese sounds good. Spag Bog sounds yucky.

3:07 pm

movieman

Csmith - nothing's wrong with the 1958 version, I just prefer the special effects in the remake (gooey and gross as they are...)

3:07 pm

Anj

Babbler, that's the one that took off in the West anyhow. I like anime stuff although it can be a bit overpowering at times.

Hey, anyone remember STAR FLEET?!

3:07 pm

lola100

Whoa babs! Pace yourself girl, lol! Hey, add me as a friend on last if you want :)

3:08 pm

Babbler

3:13 pm

3:13 pm

3:16 pm

Charm

Cmith - you're an angel! Thanks bunches - never would have figured those out....

3:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

Jen, I can read and write a little...I worked out during the chorusy bits, he's saying, "because that's what freedom is, right? Then freedom can't be bought right? Just what is freedom anyway...? That freedom over there is ignoring us completely!"

3:17 pm

Anj

Yup, you're there Babbler. I've just added you as a friend :)

3:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

Only once again, PS Company have put the film to the music badly...out of sync, out of sync...

3:18 pm

Babbler

I noticed it was out of sync!!! LOL!!
enjoying the song, Miy......... playing it twice!

3:31 pm

Haz1558

If you were whispering sweet nothings you would be speaking in these tones - ho6/24

3:47 pm

Miyavi_fan

I have no parents, I was raised by wolves (could you tell?)

3:47 pm

EasternBlue

Miya - Grey Woulf?? : )

3:47 pm

Jen

Ooooh, Babbler! Just read your profile and I loooove shoes too! In college, I worked in a shoe store JUST for the discount (and yes, all my paychecks went to buying shoes). And there is nothing wrong with being a snob! I actually got professional training as one my senior year in high school at a prep school! LOL :)

3:49 pm

EasternBlue

Hey Babs - you went PRO!! : )

3:49 pm

Babbler

well, you're exceptionally articulate and well spoken for a wolf-child!! Reminds me of that Not The Nine o'Clock News sketch......
Gorrilla and Scientist in interview.
Interviewer asks scientist: Was he wild when you caught him?
Gorrila answers: Wild???? I was LIVID !!!!

:D

3:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

Eastern, Grey Woulf would have done a better job of raising me, I think! No, just your normal, generic wolves :D

3:50 pm

Babbler

thx Jen, lol!!!

Hi EB!! yes, peer pressure is a terrible thing......... :)

3:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Babbler, but really, wolves are far superior to humans in terms of speech. They just don't usually talk to us since we tend to be frightened of that sort of thing

3:51 pm

Anj

300 words shot, stuffed and mounted :)

Do I hear a WOOT!

3:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

WOOT! Congratulations!

4:09 pm

evanonut

anyone wanting a good laugh should go to comics.com and look at pearls before swine.

4:09 pm

Babbler

do you know what, I was thinking along those lines too, Lola!! I was wondering what a Babbler Convention might be like...??? We'd all wander around with name badges, looking out for each other!! LOL!

4:10 pm

ScoutsMom

actually, babbler, I think it'd be funnier if we wore badges with our actual names on them and tried to figure out who was who.

4:11 pm

Anj

'bye Eastern :)

Hey Babbler, we should all get together in the Smoke sometime lol :)

4:11 pm

evanonut

or you could all wear your favorite icon

4:11 pm

Babbler

LOL! Scouts!! that would be too funny!!! :D

4:11 pm

Tuva

Babbler!

I still have 120 left to go... UGH I fear I may not finish this one...

4:11 pm

Smeltzdog

*hoovering*

4:11 pm

mtnjock

thank you haz... and that would be the F's down!

4:11 pm

lola100

babs, lol! We could wear t-shirts with our icons on them :)

4:11 pm

Babbler

You're on, Anj!!!

hey Tuva!! How you doing??

4:12 pm

Babbler

4:12 pm

Tuva

4:12 pm

lola100

Hi smeltz! ...you missed a spot, btw :)

4:12 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, mtnjock, although I do feel a bit guilty. You are treating the dog well, aren't you?

4:12 pm

Jera

Need help with last re6/18... last for me, anyway, I'm way out of order...

4:13 pm

cybernan

ts6, please?

4:13 pm

evanonut

no, wear a gorillaz bum costume!

4:13 pm

Babbler

I've got 38 words in teh grid, gawd knows how many in my notebook....... Madonna's singing to me and I'm bopping away at my desk! lol!

4:13 pm

mtnjock

like prince he is, het gets to chase beau around in the back yard all day!

4:14 pm

Anj

Jera, re plus spanner or wrench for instance :) (re6/18)

4:15 pm

Babbler

3rd Madonna song, dancefloor filler

4th....... begins very Donna Summer....... oooooooh! "I feel love"........ waiting for it to kick in....... : D....... verrrrry good!

4:15 pm

Haz1558

Good! Now ts 6 - just add plural of so 4/4 to the t to make a word that sounds like wounds or hurts

4:15 pm

Jera

How many re6/18's are there?? I have 6 of them...

4:15 pm

Babbler

lol evan!!! :D

4:15 pm

Anj

Cyber, T plus the last so5/10 :)

4:16 pm

hurshy

can i get some help with that first re7? it's killing me.

4:16 pm

Tuva

Jera.... sorry to say but there are 30 re's

4:16 pm

Anj

er, Babbler, you don't think she's getting a bit derivative in her attempts to regain her cred??

4:16 pm

Uneaixoise

first re7: polish again

4:16 pm

Haz1558

re 7 - primary colour, plus underground part of plant

4:16 pm

cybernan

Thank you Anj.

4:17 pm

Jera

I have ree, 4 res's & a ret... what am I missing? (re6/18's still)

4:18 pm

cybernan

first re7 - colour + any plant's foot

4:18 pm

Babbler

well, Anj (sits down to gossip), yesterday's MoS had a very bitchy review of her......... she is supposed to have described her album as very Goldfrapp-y........ and thus became known at her studios as Oldfrapp....... (ooooooooh!! pick up yer handbag!)

4:18 pm

Uneaixoise

oops, sorry, wrong re7

4:18 pm

Babbler

that beeped word was female dog, but meant 'scathing'...

4:19 pm

Anj

Jera, re plus flower (r4) :)

4:19 pm

cybernan

Jera - there are 2 more ree's

4:20 pm

Babbler

track 5.......... (I Love New York)...... talk to your mates over this...... lyrics a bit embarrassing

4:21 pm

hurshy

i got that re now, thanks all!

4:22 pm

Anj

Babbler, I read that as well. I got the impression they thought she was riding Goldfrapp's coattails in an effort to be hip again. Thing is, Madge is pop. Pop is a bit stale at the mo...almost leftovers and a lot of cover versions... That's the view from here any rate :)

4:22 pm

Jen

sooie isn't a word?!!? That's a pig call!!! C'mon enable dictionary!!! LOL :)

4:23 pm

Tuva

Babbler, how many you have left to find?

4:23 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

any help with re 9/60?? Please

4:24 pm

Babbler

and the view from here too, Anj. I agree. I haven't got Goldfrapp's recent albums. I've got the first, which was truly gorgeous. But to be fair, Madge has always done this. So has Bowie. They spot something, then make it global. Madge did it particularly with her Vogue song.... that was already soooo dated by the time she got her hands on it!! :D

4:24 pm

Babbler

Tuva, I have 39 words in my list, and an awful lot in my notebook..... :D

4:25 pm

Jera

*weeps at inability to find re4=flower*

4:25 pm

Babbler

Jera:

@.....>.....>..... and again @......>.....>....

4:25 pm

Anj

Jen, try dropping the S and putting two consonants in the front instead :)

Kristina, the re8/9 combo is somone who does light welding...again. Think GI without the i for the root word :)

4:26 pm

Anj

Jera, 'my love is a like a red, red, r....' :)

4:27 pm

Jera

{{{Babbler}}}

Duhhh... who said it was an re flower??

4:27 pm

Tuva

so9 ???

4:27 pm

Jera

Answer: nobody... duh on me...

4:27 pm

Babbler

Anj, I don't understand that r9 clue... I've been mulling over it for a while....... any more help?

4:27 pm

snowyowl

Hi everybody - back for the third time today and still have 129 words to find! Ever had the feeling you've bitten off more thab you can chew?
Glad to see you've joined the icon club babbler.
Well I'm going to dive into the pit of 129 words now!

4:27 pm

ScoutsMom

jera: they said it was re + flower. it was confusing if you just glanced at it. don't worry--you're not crazy.

4:28 pm

cybernan

re 9/60 - plural of re 8/45 (re + so 6/21)

4:28 pm

Jen

I am at my wits end, Anj... I do things alphabetical, so I am totally done thru the So's... I just think that sooie should be a word. OINK!!!!!!

4:28 pm

Babbler

track 6......... nice enough

track 7 ........... pure Air !!!!!!!!1 LOL!!

4:28 pm

lola100

Hi snowy :)

Babe, there is no way I'm gonna do this without a2z tonight :/

4:29 pm

Babbler

woo hooo! re9 !! : D

4:29 pm

Smeltzdog

thanks for the 9er!

4:29 pm

cybernan

Jera - are you still looking for the first re7?

4:30 pm

Anj

Babbler, agreed, but Bowie earned that right. I think Madge has always been derivative. She's blatantly commercial rather than having any musical integrity.

4:30 pm

snowyowl

Hi Lola - only a2z? I need a secretary! Besides which every word I enter takes min. 20 secs to enter - I could be here 'til the new puzzle! LOL

4:31 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh, snowyowl, love the poppies!

4:32 pm

Jera

No, thank you cybernan... I'm battling through the ri's now (only one more ri4/4 to go!)...

4:33 pm

cybernan

Help please -- I have 3 r's left all following immediately after the piece of harness:
re 5/10
re 6/18
re 4/4

Maybe I have the piece of harness out of order?

4:33 pm

sherb

*emerges from the Babblewordswamp* ...why did I start this one?...

4:35 pm

snowyowl

Thankyou une - It's my title in Rainbow guides and I do love them

4:35 pm

Anj

Hi Snowy :) The actress would have said that to the bishop if her mouth wasn't full lol :D

Lola, I used a2z for a few today too :)

4:35 pm

Babbler

not sure about Bowie earning the right, Anj. Does anyone earn the right to be derivative? He's just a male version of Madge, but she made it bigger. Deffo agree about the commercialisation and not much musical integrity. Who couldn't!! But I don't think she's ever pretended to be much more than a dancer who also puts out songs.... She knows she can't sing!!!

4:36 pm

snowyowl

Hi Anj! lol!

4:36 pm

Babbler

hi snowy!! look at meeeeeee !! :D

4:37 pm

sherb

cybernan - not sure it's the right one, but there's an re5/10 which is like the ro5/10 but with different vowels (and its plural) :)

4:37 pm

snowyowl

You look great babbler! Love the icon - just wish I felt that good!

4:37 pm

Anj

Babbler, can't disagree with that :) I guess I just think Bowie has more cred but that's just a personal thing.

4:38 pm

Babbler

oh, he has waaaaay much more cred than Madge!!! For sure!!!!!

4:38 pm

Anj

Cyber, do you have the re5/10 which means to lubricate again??

4:38 pm

sherb

or it might be the re5/10 meaning what you do when you apply more sun lotion :)

4:40 pm

CATHB

hi everyone...i have the feeling that i wish i had never started this one..

4:40 pm

Tuva

cat... I understand... if I get below 100 words I am declaring a victory

4:40 pm

Anj

Babbler, are you playing Madge on your PC?? It's not showing up on Last is all...

4:40 pm

cybernan

Anj - yes I have the lubricate again -- it's the ones before that that I'm missing.

4:41 pm

sherb

hi Cath - I feel the same!

4:41 pm

Babbler

track 8 - alright
track 9 - .... "I can't get you out of my head"..... Kylie revisited......

4:41 pm

Anj

Hi CathB :) Famous last words lol

4:41 pm

Babbler

4:56 pm

boreetos

4:57 pm

Babbler

yes, boreetos!!! I'm very impressed with them at the minute! :D

4:57 pm

torgone

o/`o/` I Want Candy o/`o/`
Babble's theme song

4:57 pm

snowyowl

Boreetos I think I may age 50 years tonight! To think i was complaining about the small grids! Must be MAD!!!!

4:57 pm

Babbler

and it looks like me, with my untidy bobbed hair, and how I like to rest my chin on my hands when I'm listening!!! :D

4:58 pm

boreetos

lol snowy, I know what you mean, but in a way large grids are more satisfying as words are easier to find even if the grid doesn't get finished.

4:58 pm

Babbler

last track on the CD (you might be glad to hear!!).... as good as the first, but a tad slower, so we can all dance to it!! LOL!!

4:59 pm

boreetos

right on Babbler, I like them as well. And their videos are very cool.

4:59 pm

Babbler

not that song, Torgone (but you're not wrong!!)
grrrr. when I remember the song, I'll share, I swear! :)

5:00 pm

Babbler

BBC Radio 1 recorded their concert in Manchester last week. They televised it, with the videos. I just stuck a tape in the VCR and pressed record!! This was last Friday. Superb!"!!!!! I was very sad to learn about Ibrahim Ferrer...

5:07 pm

Anj

Babbler, wild, go wild, go wild in the country??

Have you enabled the plug-in yet? You need to click on the flower icon, bottom right on iTunes, then on the options button top right and then chekc your name and password match the Last site, then click on OK :)

5:10 pm

Babbler

no, not go wild in the country.... may not be a Bow Wow Wow song.... ???? eek!

how do i check my name and password? where do I look?
faaaab fractal graphics on my screen!! oooooh!

5:11 pm

Babbler

did I set up a password for iTunes? I don['t remember doing that..... ??

5:12 pm

Babbler

oooh!! might be a Tom Tom Club song!!!!! Mariah Carey lifted it for one of her songs too.......

5:12 pm

Blaze

Is i tune free ???

5:12 pm

Anj

OK, check that iScrobbler is installed first. Click on Visualiser (top left command menu on iTunes) and below iTunes visualiser it will say iScrobbler if it's installed :) Click on it to tick it if it has, then click on visualiser, options, to get the dialogue box :)

5:12 pm

Babbler

yes.... I think so...... my brother set it up for me....

5:14 pm

Anj

Blaze, iTunes is a free media player :)

Babbler, it's the iScrobbler plug in that requires the password, not iTunes. The name/password is the same as you set up on LastFM :)

5:14 pm

Babbler

it says handshake failed............. what does that mean?

5:14 pm

Blaze

thanks anj

5:15 pm

Marc Freeman

Anyone got hint for re9 or the other 9

5:16 pm

5:18 pm

snowyowl

bye boreetos - going back to work may be the better option! lol

5:19 pm

Anj

Babbler, that's usually a connection problem. Or password. Does your user name/.password exactly match the LastFM login??

5:19 pm

KRISTINAROSE333

Any clues for so 8/45 , 9/60 , and 7/32... Please

5:20 pm

Kristina all to do with the so6/21 - attaching metal to metal

5:21 pm

Babbler

yes, Anj, it does.......... but I'll check...... :)

5:21 pm

Babbler

ooh! could it be my firewall?

5:21 pm

snowyowl

No babble for a week - is that because of the hospital eva?

5:22 pm

Wogoe

9/60 word: so****(fusing metals with heat) Add the noun ending and make it plural.

5:22 pm

Marc Freeman

Got a lot of so's but not the so7/32 any hints on that one?

5:22 pm

evanonut

yep, i don't think i'll have much opportunity

5:22 pm

Anj

Kristina,
so6/21 - light weld - or military grunt without the i
so7/32 - plural that
so8/45 - and an er to the so6/21
so9/60 - plural that :)

5:22 pm

evanonut

it's supposed to make him very ill

5:23 pm

harpjane

Any clues for re 7/32--the second to last one. (in between 6/24 and 6/21)

5:23 pm

Anj

Babbler, yes it could. Make sure you give iScrobbler access rights :)

5:24 pm

Anj

Harp, turned on your torch again??

5:24 pm

snowyowl

It's a horrible time but one of those situations where things have to get bad before they get better. You will both be in my thoughts & prayers.
Meanwhile what about this monster grid?????
I still have 100 words to find!!!

5:25 pm

evanonut

still gotta find 203 myself. i can't focus...think i'll come back in later.

5:26 pm

Babbler

: (.... I thought I did, Anj. My firewall is ZoneAlarm..... any ideas how I can check the access rights?

5:26 pm

lola100

5:29 pm

Marc Freeman

Military grunt, my son is in Iraq and I don't have a clue. Also, light weld through me off as well. Am I the only one that is clueless on this one? I have about 20 minutes and have to give a lecture so I am trying to get these few.

Sorry so dense.

5:31 pm

doxy1lover

marc, when you want to fuse 2 wires together you so**** them

5:31 pm

Babbler

Marc, it's those guys who wear fire-protective gear and they use high intensity fire to weld metal together. Anj more or less spelt out the endings for us......

LOL snowy!!! excellent clue!!! :D

5:31 pm

Tuva

5:33 pm

snowyowl

The people who so6/21

5:34 pm

Anj

Babbler, I've checked my ZoneAlarm and iScrobbler isn't listed, presumably because it's part of iTunes, which is listed. Did ZA prompt you to reauthorise iTunes after you installed iScrobbler as the settings had changed??

5:34 pm

Tuva

good gravy I am a dolt sometimes!

5:34 pm

Anj

Lo, how are you doing over there babe?? :)

5:35 pm

lola100

5:40 pm

Babbler

5:41 pm

Karys

5:41 pm

Jera

Okay, i need some hand-holding through these evil ro's... help please with the first ro6/27 & ro7/40 (are they related??)...

5:42 pm

Anj

Babbler, no just leave it as 4 ticks for iTunes and first 2 for Player - your home page is showing the Madge tarcks now. Sometimes the handshake takes a while, that's all :)

5:42 pm

Karys

yes...extentions of ro4/7

5:42 pm

Babbler

yayyyyy! so does this mean you can listen to Madge now?

5:42 pm

Anj

hurshy

5:45 pm

doxy1lover

5:45 pm

Anj

Babbler, yes, but not from your pc. I would just have to click on Madonna as the artist - go to her LastFM home page - click on start radio, then select fan radio. That would be almost exclusively madge tracks :)

5:45 pm

Tuva

LOL... neither of those helped me at all.... :)

5:46 pm

Jera

ty Karys... I have to look up that word now... weird one...

5:46 pm

melissamay

5:46 pm

hurshy

5:46 pm

Anj

Hurshy, previous se5/10 plus t :)

5:46 pm

doxy1lover

hurshy, past tense of se5 before it

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

Tuva

5:47 pm

hurshy

5:47 pm

hurshy

5:48 pm

scsongbird1

5:48 pm

scsongbird1

5:49 pm

kristin

songbird it is a brand of cake mixes and icings.

Hi Hurshy!

5:49 pm

Anj

Hi Melissamay :)
They're not connected - te6/18 is te plus your 2nd last re4/4
te7/28 is an alternate spelling for BIG soup bowl :)

5:49 pm

hurshy

then try adding an sh 5/12 minus the s instead.

5:49 pm

Jera

Need help with last ro5/10... I have

rhymes with hanging knot
little flower
flowers

5:50 pm

5:54 pm

doxy1lover

5:54 pm

Anj

y/w melissamay :)
Just doing the BabbleHelp thing ;)

5:56 pm

kristin

Anj you are TOOO modest

5:57 pm

melissamay

Yes, Anj, but you are always particularly helpful and kind. (I'm afraid I wasn't very helpful on this one -- I did most of the rest last night when there were some horrible stuff being posted, so I stayed off the log.)

5:58 pm

hurshy

ooh, yummy, doxy!!!

5:58 pm

kristin

What happened last night Melissa? I haven't gone back and read the log today

5:58 pm

Babbler

5:59 pm

hurshy

sorry about that melissamay. students at my school. the problem is being addressed.

6:00 pm

Yoink

Hi everyone, going crazy here looking for the se7, a little help before my brain melts?

6:00 pm

Jera

hurshey, guess what... I had that one but it was hiding in a ro6/30 space... sneaky little bugger...

6:00 pm

Tuva

STILL can't find the TS6...

6:00 pm

melissamay

Some people were making both obscene and racist remarks -- not worth going back to read (and perhaps Dr. G removed them).

6:01 pm

melissamay

Wow, hurshy, I don't envy you. Thanks for letting me know.

6:01 pm

Karys

se7....tight packed rows

6:01 pm

Babbler

eeuwww. glad I missed that. makes my blood boil. I can't ignore people like that and always end up engaging, even though I really ought to ignore them.

6:01 pm

cybernan

ts6: t + so 5/10

6:01 pm

hurshy

se7 rhymes with "transported from mainland to island"

6:02 pm

cybernan

help for the first te 6/18, anyone?

6:02 pm

Tuva

the only so 5/10 I have is the sun, and that does not work

6:02 pm

Babbler

you want to use the one that goes OUCH!!.....

6:02 pm

hurshy

one of them has apologized, later in the chat - not the one who started the whole thing, but the other one. he's still here working on the puzzle and he feels bad, so try not to hold it against him.

6:03 pm

melissamay

I know, Babbler. People were trying their best to ignore it, but it was more than one person, so it was difficult. I'm glad the problem is being dealt with.

6:03 pm

Yoink

Thanks Karys and Hurshy, i just couldn't see it going that way, I could only see up.

6:03 pm

Karys

painful little things possibly on your skin so5/10

6:03 pm

raolen

6:08 pm

hurshy

tuva: i spose i should've just said fe7/44

6:08 pm

Dachef

6:18 pm

6:37 pm

hurshy

6:37 pm

Anj

Hurshy, weird word - could be the monarch of the sq8 with the bushy tail - similar ending to the te7 serving bowl :)

raolen - pi7 (and plural 8) - explorer, innovator, NASA spacecraft sent to take pics of Jupiter - launched in '70s, sent its last radio signal in 2003 after it's power source dried up

Dachef, I quite two years ago on Oct. 16th, after about 50 years of smoking. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and I still crave cigarettes every minute of the day. But I keep hangin in there.

7:36 pm

Dachef

Im a walking advert for quitting the smokes. i was up to about 30 a day,and after i quit everything got better. My energy levels went through the roof, my epilepsy got better cos my circulation improved, I found I was sleeping a lot less and I was generally 100% happier!

7:36 pm

7:37 pm

artlady

GM for me...

7:38 pm

Babbler

I only have about 3 roll ups now, since I started playing Babble. Mainly cos I'm so absorbed, I don't think about it! Also, house-rule - I have to smoke outside if I really want one. No matter what the weather!! (cos it stinks indoors, otherwise)

7:38 pm

artlady

Babbler, you're a pro!! The peer pressure worked!! ;-)

7:39 pm

Babbler

gah, that peer pressure!! I've never succumbed to it before in my life! And now look at me..... :) It's cos someone said I was stubborn, so I decided to prove them wrong!! LOL!!

the chickens are marinaded b4 they are cooked, and they are all flame grilled, so they lose most of their fat in cooking. The grills are always in the middle of the restaurant so you can actually se your meal being prepared. Always go for the hot ones - the spice is pretty amazing!

9:07 pm

Babs1

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:29 pm

mamabear

hurshy - just in time - can you beam me up?

9:29 pm

Charm

Tuva

9:34 pm

Charm

babbler - go with the fl** (misspelt)

9:34 pm

mamabear

9:35 pm

Smeltzdog

err...*hovering...i meant hovering*

9:35 pm

hurshy

LOL - thanks, smeltz, for that one!

9:35 pm

mamabear

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Smeltz - if you are doing chores while waiting for us to finish, it's OK, we don't mind...lol ;)

9:36 pm

Babbler

and how do you make this fl4 an fl5...........

:/

9:37 pm

Charm

babbler - my turn to hide - what word are you looking for?

9:37 pm

hurshy

so, to all who've been following the chat log saga from the wee hours of the morning, i think i can promise that there will be no more offensive chat. however, the question of whether babble will continue to be accessible to me and my students is up in the air. they probably won't even tell me. i'll just try to babble one day and it'll say 403 forbidden.

9:37 pm

jenwould

hi all, looking for help w/ the so8/45 and 9/60 please

9:38 pm

Babbler

9:38 pm

Smeltzdog

9:38 pm

Charm

Babbler - where polar bears live is the fl4/7.

9:39 pm

hurshy

9:39 pm

mamabear

oh good, Smeltzie - then I don't feel so bad - I have half too

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

hurshy - again, I am sorry to hear that you have to go through this frustration --- Maybe you will get lucky --- we are all pulling for you :)

9:39 pm

Tuva

charm.... Polar Bears live in the Z**

And there is no Z!

9:39 pm

hurshy

dr5 - smeltz, do you know a worship chorus called "grace, grace"? it's in that song... burn away the dr5

9:39 pm

Babbler

Hurshy, I hope you don't get banned. I'll start a petition if that happens! Send me or one of us an email if this happens! It wouldn't be fair for an entire group of people to be penalised because of the bad behaviour of a few. Rotten apples and all that. There, I've said my piece....

9:40 pm

mab

Oh hurshy, that is so Big Brotherish.

9:40 pm

hurshy

polar bears don't just live in the zoo! they live out in the wild too! on bits of ice called fl4s!

9:40 pm

Tuva

9:41 pm

Smeltzdog

hursh - never heard of it.

9:41 pm

Charm

Smeltzdog - do you know the difference between gold and dr***?

9:41 pm

hurshy

babbler - it's not about the babble website. it's just that the school blocks most game sites so that students won't waste time playing when they should be studying. but they don't differentiate faculty accounts. anyway, i told them babble is educational so hopefully they won't block it.

9:41 pm

mamabear

one more mention of polar bears and I'll have to change my icon....

9:41 pm

Tuva

sorry about that accidental offensive chat everyone.... sheesh, I don't know what happened there....

9:42 pm

Babbler

Tuva, it's not smart to be even a little bit offensive. Think before you post, yeah?

9:42 pm

hurshy

ok, my promise only applied to my students - tuva i can't control.

9:42 pm

Smeltzdog

polarbear...polarbear...polarb ear

ruffh2o

smeltz: en + ro4, and the ro is the part of a tree that is underground

9:43 pm

Babbler, You simply can't imagine how embarrassed I must be. I tottally didn't see that offensive chat coming. It was completely out of the blue. I surprised myself.

9:43 pm

Tuva

Athough, I do have it on good authority that Hushy does indeed have stinky pants....
