12:52 am

spatialbean

pluralize it and then play with the ending consonant

1:13 am

cybernan

Good night, Blaze -- time for me to fold my tent also.

1:13 am

1:38 am

zubie

Ok. Crossed wires here. I've got two 8's. One's an r and the other's the plural of heads of state. I've got the 7 for that and the movie. Now, am I missing a 7 or 8? :/

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

1:48 am

Griffums

Wow, spatial - I tried to type your born early and mistakenly typed the prime minister instead. Cool!

1:49 am

SummerBreeze44

There is also a alternate spelling for the early
birth - pr6/24

1:49 am

1:57 am

zubie

Ugh. Why give me tough maths? :D Instead of saying left to find, how about telling me how many you have? :D

1:57 am

zubie

Nite, nava :)

1:58 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry, Zubie -- have 52 ;D

1:59 am

zubie

As well you should be, GW! ;D I'm on 44.

This grid isn't in English, I tell you! I keep seeing 'saunter', by the way. :D And Santa! Christmas mind? Santa sauntering through the grid!

2:00 am

spatialbean

I have 58

2:01 am

GreyWoulf

I still keep seeing pair and raise -- maybe I should be playing poker?

2:01 am

spatialbean

saturn is a proper noun i guess

2:02 am

zubie

Ack! Just saw 'reindeer'. Fitting!

Are you good at poker? :D

2:02 am

Iain

Having just started todays I have found a pr7/36 which if you add s becomes pr8/50. Still looking for the pr6/24

2:02 am

GreyWoulf

Well, I'm good at giving my money away -- does that count?
:D

2:03 am

zubie

Depends on whom you give it to, GW! :D You punned, did you realise? :D

2:03 am

spatialbean

May I have some money, GW?

2:03 am

GreyWoulf

Iain - drop the last letter of the 7

And Welcome!

2:04 am

spatialbean

Count de Money

2:04 am

zubie

Santa saunters near the reindeer on the prairie. I think I should give up. :D

2:04 am

Griffums

Hmmmm, so on the refresh, six of the tiles didn't load back up, but so far it doesn't seem to be any disadvantage....

2:04 am

Iain

Many thanks got it

2:05 am

spatialbean

Those are freebies, Griff

2:05 am

GreyWoulf

spatial - sure, but you have to come here to get it, and play poker with me

2:05 am

Griffums

Double word scores too???? Hmmm, maybe a different game

2:06 am

spatialbean

Ok, GW!

2:07 am

GreyWoulf

Now what's driving me crazy is the fact that the P on the left side of the board starts only one word and I can't figure it out!
Also, I am only missing one K and one U to gray those out as well

2:09 am

zubie

The p on the left starts a word?! Ugh. How many letters? :/ I was ignoring that p and the u :D

2:09 am

luvmypom

GW - I had to use A2z to find that P. Still don't know what the word means. *sigh*

2:10 am

GreyWoulf

no clue on how many letters, zubie

but I can tell you that the 2 u's I found are bear related

2:10 am

Ho Hum

it is a pr5/14

2:10 am

nava

can't sleep. what is a2z?

2:11 am

spatialbean

Gw...do you know the spanish word for fruit?

2:11 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks Ho Hum!

2:12 am

GreyWoulf

I used to, spatial -- high school was a long time ago...

2:12 am

spatialbean

did you get the pr 5/14 gw?

2:13 am

luvmypom

nava - http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/
I use as last resort when I'm stumped

2:13 am

GreyWoulf

2:13 am

spatialbean

Oh it's a coin in Israel

2:13 am

Griffums

i did i did

2:13 am

nava

2:13 am

zubie

Thanks for the u clues, GW! Got the left p, too! :D Thanks, spatial.

2:14 am

spatialbean

welcome ~:o)

2:15 am

zubie

50 :/

2:15 am

GreyWoulf

Indeed, lovemypom -- when clues don't help and time is short -- a2z can be helpful

2:15 am

luvmypom

Oh, of course. The old Israel coin word... :-P

I wish I were more worldly ... those words get soooo by me!

2:16 am

luvmypom

Hey GW -- love the green :)

2:17 am

GreyWoulf

Thx, lovemypom -- Google images is a wonderful thing :D

2:19 am

GreyWoulf

Btw, lovemypom - if you click on the ? box next to each word, you will usually get a definition -- that's how most of us have expanded our vocabulary since we started playing this game ;)

2:21 am

spatialbean

I think I need BrandyJack to finish.

2:22 am

luvmypom

Thx GW, some nights I've spent more time at Dictionary.com than babbling! :-) Then tonight I found out about the Enable Dict. I couldn't figure out where the words were coming from if they were in the dict. Still an obvious newbie - huh? lol

2:22 am

zubie

I've got just two a words. How many are there?

2:22 am

luvmypom

*weren't* in the dict.

2:22 am

Griffums

You know, I've got 28 to go but honestly I think I did pretty well for seeing all the tiles double. I am off to a nice slumber and will finish this in the morning.

2:22 am

spatialbean

GreyWoulf

nava

2:28 am

nava

2:29 am

nava

zubie

sorry to hear that Yoink, hope you feel better asap. ack, choking on citrus isn't any fun. I did that with a clementine this week. I bit it and it burst! I'm good today, thanks. :D

Anyone got the p word that is from the p on the left?

4:44 am

Babbler

not me, Yoink........ :/

4:44 am

Jacula

I'm not in the best of moods on this frosty morning. I made the mistake of putting my recycling boxes out on the grass verge before the 9pm curfew that the police have put on groups of kids round here. I normally don't put them out until 10.30pm. Some little sh*ts removed the full-to-bursting paper recycling box from under the other 2 boxes, lugged it over to the nearby park, stuck it on top of a litter bin and set fire to it. Judging by the smell and the foam all around when I tracked down the remains of our paper rubbish at 11pm, it looks like the resulting fire of melting plastic and litter bin had to be put out by the Fire Brigade.

4:46 am

MissyMe

pr5/14 A coin formerly used in Israel, equal to one thousandth of a pound . You may have to drop the last consonant if you find this coin on the internet. The correct spelling ends with a vowel

And hi all :)

4:46 am

Jacula

Yoink - Sorry, not got that word yet.

4:47 am

Babbler

hi Missy : )

Jac - bl**dy kids!!

4:47 am

Yoink

Morning MissyMe and thanks!

4:48 am

Jacula

Morning MissyMe. Thanks. I will look for that.

4:48 am

MissyMe

((((((Jacula))))))) That's just horrible. I feel bad for you having to deal with youth like that. Around here where I live teenagers still wave at you when you pass by and are always polite.

4:48 am

Babbler

thx MIssy! :D

4:49 am

MissyMe

Welcome I got all the p's finally. :)

4:49 am

Babbler

*Babs pulls out passport and packs her suitcase*

I can't see where you live, Missy.... but I'm on my way!
:D

4:49 am

Jacula

Missy - Most youth around here are fine. There's a small minority that cause trouble and they don't even live in our villlage but come in here to cause mayhem.

4:50 am

MissyMe

Too bad the curfew isn't even earlier...10:30 seems a bit late for ruffins to be out and about. :(

4:51 am

Babbler

that's so you can't go telling their parents, Jac. :/
plenty of evil little blighters here in London!

4:52 am

Jacula

Anyway, I guess I'd better ring the police to let them know of the incident, if they don't already know, and the council to order a new box. I'm only glad we never put anything with addresses or details of any kind in the box. All that kind of thing goes in the shredder and then for rabbit and g/pig bedding up in the hutches.

4:52 am

Yoink

Argh, 15 left and 4 of them are 7s and 8s, only 3 4s left to find

4:52 am

Bubbles

yoink, pr 5/14

4:53 am

MissyMe

Jacula I'm glad there's a brighter side to it all

4:54 am

Babbler

Yoink: pr8/50 - the first night of a movie.
monkey around for the other pr8/50 (change last letter)

4:54 am

Yoink

I googled MissyMe's clue thanks Bubbles :)

4:54 am

Babbler

.... oh and drop one of those last letters for a pr7/36
:D

4:55 am

Jacula

Missy - the curfew's set at 9pm but all the kids do is keep moving and give the police the runaround. I'm not depressed about the incident, just annoyed. Should have put some TNT in the box. LOL. That would have put them off ever doing that again!

4:55 am

Babbler

re8/50 - re6/24... again.... and again...

4:55 am

MissyMe

pr5/14 variant of "proa" which is a swift Malayan sailboat with a triangular sail and single outrigger

4:56 am

MissyMe

lol Jacula...indeed I think that would have put them off... :D

4:57 am

Babbler

thx Missy : )

4:57 am

MissyMe

Babbler...yup...just keep typing the variants and you get them all

4:58 am

Yoink

Thanks Babs, got those now :)

4:59 am

Babbler

y/w hun :)

5:07 am

Jacula

That re8/50 is a good word to use when hubby accusing you of 'nagging' when you ask him yet again to do something. You can say, 'No. I am just re8/50ing you , dear!' :-)

5:07 am

Haz1558

You mean your husband remembers you asking before?

5:09 am

Yoink

Having trouble with the 2 e's from the middle right e

5:09 am

Jacula

Hi Haz. LOL. Men have 'selective memories', I think. Actually, my chap's quite good. (Have to say that 'cos he reads the log! LOL.)

5:09 am

MissyMe

Jacula isn't re8/50 actually supposed to be re6/24?
I'm confused

5:11 am

Jacula

Missy - the re8/50 means to re6/24 again.

5:11 am

MissyMe

Maybe there's another spelling I'm missing?

5:11 am

Babbler

Yoink - have you got spooky and more spooky?

5:12 am

Yoink

Babs, yeah, they are from one of the other e's

5:12 am

Jacula

Yoink - Also, have you got 'makes a mistake'>

5:13 am

MissyMe

Jac oh right...thanx I forgot all about that one. :D

FMitch

ROFL yoink!

5:48 am

MissyMe

I've monkey typed the su's and still can't find em. Anyone get those yet?

5:49 am

Eva

Been wanting to ask for a while and might as well do it now as my brain isn't being constructively used for anything else - what does ROFL mean and what about a D at the end of the message?

5:49 am

Blaze

I have one su 4/5 what some put out for bird feed

5:50 am

MissyMe

Eva You're welcome. I just saw you're thank you. I've been going crazy looking for those su's lol

5:50 am

Babbler

roll on floor, laugh out loud

:D is a cheesy grin

5:50 am

Jacula

Eva - ROFLOL means 'Rolling On Floor Laughing Out Loud' and the 'D' is a face with a big grin (if you turn your head sideways).

5:50 am

MissyMe

Babbler Thank you :)

5:51 am

Jacula

Jacula

5:55 am

Blaze

Yoink

Babs, I've got similar artists to Arcade Fire playing on there right now, some decent stuff there.

Bye, FMitch.

5:56 am

Babbler

5:56 am

MissyMe

5:57 am

Eva

Okay, the r's are gone. Now I could use a list for the p's (missing 3) and the s's (missing 5!)

5:57 am

Yoink

Not that I have heard, have you heard "Mushaboom" by Feist on some Lacoste advert? IT's a cool song

5:58 am

Babbler

6:02 am

Babbler

thought so!!!!!!!!!!! I knew i'd heard it somehwere....

6:05 am

MissyMe

anyone get si6/18?

6:06 am

Jacula

si6/18 - double up the middle consonant of the word before it.

6:07 am

MissyMe

Jacula Thanx!

Finished! *wooting in a crazed manner but still somehow maintaining her dignity*

6:08 am

Babbler

bravo Missy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

6:08 am

Yoink

Congrats MissyMe :)

6:08 am

Jacula

Well done, MissyMe!

6:09 am

Jacula

8 words still to find here.

6:09 am

MissyMe

thank you thank you :D

6:10 am

MissyMe

This was a nice break from the longer ones we've had

6:10 am

Jacula

Lol, Missy. Now I see you under a spotlight on the stage, with glitter and balloons falling around you, bowing and catching bouquets.:-)

6:11 am

Yoink

Babs, giving similar artists to Cocteau Twins a go now.

6:11 am

Jacula

Oops! I thought I'd typed 'baboons' for a moment. That would be an entirely different image!

6:11 am

Babbler

;D..... I've had david bowie, air, this mortal coil........... *blissed out Babs*

6:13 am

Eva

Okay folks- down to the wire. I'm missing 1 word - the other si6/18 - no the yes si____

6:13 am

Yoink

Jacula, we had a client here at work called "wall to wall balloons" a few years back and I misheard it once as "wall to wall baboons" and had a bit of a giggling fit for a while

6:13 am

MissyMe

Jac lol Great image and don't forget all the people throwing roses onto the stage...and the cutest guys throwing up their hotel keys. :D

6:14 am

Jacula

Yoink - I can imagine. It's awful when you get a giggling fit and no one else can see what your laughing at.:-)

6:15 am

MissyMe

Yoink !!! Now I'm having a laughing fit over that one.

6:15 am

Jacula

*you're

6:15 am

Jacula

Hotel keys, Missy? And I thought I had a vivid imagination.:-)

6:16 am

MissyMe

Jacula I'll share the keys with ya if I get more than I can handle...

6:16 am

Eva

This last s is making me nuts. I have circled and circled and circled to no avail. Does it really exist or am I doomed to babble purgatory for all eternity?

6:18 am

MissyMe

Eva I was in the same purgatory...not quite hell but almost...

si6/18 If you got si5/10 just add another consonant in the middle there

6:18 am

FMitch

eva, think mountain range

6:19 am

Blaze

eva do you have the desert one ?

6:19 am

MissyMe

Arg...I meant to type "in the middle therre :)

6:19 am

Yoink

Yeah, mountains, that's what I was going to say

6:21 am

FMitch

LOL, sorry, couldn't help but jump in as I was zooming past my desk, ....... gone again

6:22 am

MissyMe

FMitch lol When you read this later as you're whipping by God dropped in and gave us all the numbers for all the lotteries on earth...sorry you missed it

6:22 am

Eva

YES!!!! It was teh mountain range one----staring me right in the face. I thank you, my aching back thanks you, my hungry cat thanks you, and my cold stoves would thank yu if they were sentient. Not that I am. But the cat certainly is. I have to spend the day collecting cat pee. No, no a fetishist - for lab work. Much, much more easily said than done. One person actually suggested that I scoot under his behind with a dish as he squats.....not much clearance that I can see there. So, have to lock him in a room with an empty box - yowling and suffering for all.

6:22 am

Babbler

who are you listening to now, Yoink? are you enjoying my choons? :)

6:23 am

MissyMe

Eva ROTF

6:23 am

Blaze

Eva what is the word count for the first a in the grid...please

6:23 am

Babbler

bravo Eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*reaches over and puts a fresh glass of champers on Eva's desk.....*

6:23 am

Yoink

Babs, just had "Can't get free" by Cranes who I haven't heard of before, nice enough, cute girlish singing voice

6:23 am

MissyMe

ai5/10

6:23 am

Eva

a5/10 Blaze. And i'ts what someone with a fan might be called.

6:24 am

Blaze

oops wrong a the first a in the grid not the word list... I have all but this one A word...Thanks

6:25 am

Babbler

i vaguely remember the cranes. I always confuse them with, who was it, the cranberrys (irish group)?
I've got my fave on - cocteau twins! aaaaahhhhh : )

6:25 am

Eva

maybe some champers would make the cat pee faster? probably screw up the results. I hate locking him up, but if I don't he might avail himself of a handy sweater pile or something.

6:26 am

Eva

Blaze - the one I said is the first a in the grid

6:26 am

Babbler

yoink - lacoste - you sure it's not Zero 7 ?? or is that another ad?

6:27 am

MissyMe

ai5/10
ai6/18
ai4/4

au4/5

6:27 am

Jacula

Blaze - the first a word (ai5) and its plural are what you hang your washing on, maybe in front of the fire.

6:27 am

Eva

I like this olour thing. Maybe we can work our way through the spectrum?

6:27 am

Yoink

Must be a different one, it's for a lacoste eau de toilette I think, it a female singer

6:28 am

MissyMe

Eva Great suggestion :)

6:28 am

Eva

do you have it yet Blaze or are we misunderstanding you?

6:29 am

Babbler

found it, Yoink......... yes I've heard this tune! lovely!
:D

6:31 am

Yoink

I saw her live at a festival in Canada in the summer, very nice. Got some Boards of Canada on now, can't go far wrong with that

6:31 am

speedfreak

Good Morning all: Jumping in to grab grid to bring to work...these small ones are sometimes the hardest!!

6:31 am

MissyMe

Hello Speedfreak :)

6:31 am

Babbler

hadn't heard of board of canada till today......
did you like canada? I've always wanted to go, but never got there.

6:31 am

Eva

Can't listen to the radio because the cat is lying on top of the remote and will bite me if I try to remove it.

6:32 am

Babbler

hi speed! :D

6:32 am

MissyMe

Put a towel around your hand and get it that way

6:33 am

Eva

How about violet for tomorrow?

6:33 am

Yoink

I've been a couple of times, first time was too cold, second time was too hot! Fun though, so many little things are different to here

6:33 am

Jacula

Yippee! Finished! Feel very pleased - used no stats and no a2z.

6:33 am

Babbler

it's free choice tomorrow, :)

6:33 am

Eva

or I can thwap him with a pillow. That usualy works.

6:33 am

MissyMe

That would be nice. :)

6:33 am

Babbler

bravo Jac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

6:34 am

MissyMe

Jacula!!! Alright for you! I can't say the same. I used help. :)

6:34 am

Eva

okay- off for a while. Today was a real"ask and you sall receive" experience - thanks so much to everyone for making it so much fun.

6:34 am

Yoink

Hi Speedfreak, well done Jacula!

6:35 am

Babbler

I never use a2z............. we just don't get along, a2z and I...... :/

6:35 am

MissyMe

lol Eva The pillow is a much better idea. Some vets suggest keeping a spray bottle of water around to deter pets but sheesh...spraying water in my house?

6:35 am

Yoink

I'd be absolute rubbish without a2z!

Bye Eva

6:36 am

Jacula

Speaking of fun and the chat log - Has anyone managed to read Dr_God's article yet? I thought it would be a paid-for download but it seems I have to have the whole Treehouse magazine posted to me here in UK.:-(

6:36 am

Babbler

first time i tried a2z was for a massive grid, around 400 words or something........... I was shattered!!! never again........... :/

6:37 am

MissyMe

Well, we all worked without a BJ list on this one. :)

6:37 am

Jacula

Missy - we keep on of those big-tanked water pistols outside for spraying our hunting cat when he's got a bird or something. Don't spray him in the house though.

6:37 am

Babbler

yes, Jac, I got it yesterday. Excellent read!!! I really enjoyed it.

6:37 am

Babbler

bye Eva : )

6:38 am

Jacula

Babbler - was it a download or did you have the mag through the post?

6:38 am

MissyMe

Night Eva :)

6:38 am

Babbler

Missy, I just refreshed and now i can see your icon. wow!

6:39 am

MissyMe

That's me standing next to my ship...I mean...um...that's a silly photoshop fakie...yeah...that's it...

6:39 am

Babbler

Jac, it's a download. and you pay via paypal. haven't read the rest of the mag yet. and you get a free copy of Oct issue as well. it's techie, business, analytical, and descriptive. the babble article is a history and how it has developed ..... with our help!! and brandyjack is mentioned! awwwwww!

6:40 am

Jacula

I just went into BabAnon to put stats in and I see BJ's list for today is now up.

6:40 am

MissyMe

ewwwwPayPalewwww

6:41 am

Babbler

Dr G said the best thing about Babble is us lot, and the chat log!!!! bless his little cotton socks!!!! :D

6:41 am

MissyMe

I didn't get the list tonight. *feels proud*

6:41 am

Jacula

Ah, maybe because I chose 'Visa' I didn't get the download. Didn't proceed anyway after it wanted address for posting. I'll have to use my chap's Paypal if I want to get it then.

6:42 am

Babbler

yesterday, there was a funny delay of like 5 mins or so..... it confused me at first, but I got there.

6:42 am

Jacula

Right, time I went and got on with some work. I'll pop in and out as I can. TTFN. Thanks for the company and the clues everyone.

6:43 am

Babbler

don't forget to save it in your ebooks.

6:43 am

MissyMe

I had to cancel my credit card on PayPal so they would stop sending money to 3 online sites I had been subscribing to monthly. There's NOWHERE on Paypal's site to cancel anything after 15 days or so and they completely ignore your emails

6:43 am

MissyMe

Jacula Cya later and thank you too :)

6:44 am

Yoink

Bye Jacula

MissyMe, it is good for one-off payments though, it makes buying off eBay a breeze

6:44 am

MissyMe

Yoink I totally agree...but I'm concerned if I give them my credit card number again they'll start paying the subscriptions to the sites again..

6:45 am

Babbler

jac........ don't go yet..... gonna type you some edited highlights........... it will make your day :)

6:46 am

Babbler

put a different card no in, missy. eg your debit card or something?

6:46 am

MissyMe

I'm signing off too until tomorrow night, (for me) Good bye all :)

6:47 am

MissyMe

Babbler good idea Ill do that if I need to get something off eBay

6:47 am

Babbler

..."At first the chat log was simply a place for players to brag about the big words they were finding, but it didn't take long before it bacame the lifeblood of the site. Players came for the game, but stayed to talk to other players in the chat log. New friendships were formed, and soon the chat log expanded beyond the game..................

6:47 am

Yoink

Bye MissyMe

6:48 am

Babbler

"..............It became a place notonly to talk about the game, but to swap stories about what players did last night, talk about movies, and even pass round recipes. If you're gong to create a gaming website, this kind of friendly community is a great thing to achieve. It gives players a reason to come back to the site more often and stay longer."

6:52 am

Babbler

".... It was the Babble players, not me, who were responsible for transforming the entire spirit of Babble and making it into what it is today. Players began using the chat log to ask for and give clues to words. They even created their own Babble language to do so. Phrases like "Take the co6/27, drop the silent letter, and add 3 letters to the end - meaning and age or a period of time" became commonplace. The main goal of players was no longer to get the top score, but to finish the entire puzzle with the help of other players. What started as a competitive website slowly became one of peace, love, and cooperation."

6:53 am

Babbler

that's my favourite bit :D

6:54 am

Babbler

apologies for typos!! all mine! :/

6:54 am

Yoink

Ahh Stereolab, I don't know what they're saying but it sounds nice

6:56 am

Yoink

It's got to be a cool feeling knowing you've created a site that people want to use and want to go to to congregate

6:56 am

Babbler

it's got to be, yoink. I'm chuffed to be part of it. paypal was my idea, and firefox was my discovery too!
*beams with pride* :D:D:D:D

6:57 am

Babbler

I don't think I'd heard of Stereolab till today........ (not sure??)

6:57 am

Yoink

I'd have used firefox with it anyway, I haven't used IE for ages.

Got to go for lunch now, see you later

6:58 am

Babbler

i only use firefox.

have a good lunch!! maybe see you later (( hugs ))

6:58 am

Yoink

Have a nice day if not :)

Babbler

7:03 am

Babbler

oh yeah............. *dashes back to mag*.....

7:03 am

FMitch

mari - knock off the last letter of the 1st pr8, or if you dont have that one think leader of a country

7:05 am

Jacula

Thanks for the highlights, Babbler. Am off out for a while now.

7:05 am

mari

Fmitch - thanks - got that one must be the other pr7/36 I'm missing

7:06 am

Babbler

".... One player, Brandyjack, even wrote his own little script that would find all the words in a puzzle and spit back complete puzzle stats, which he would share with the other players by posting it to the chat log every morning. His daily puzzle stats soon became a fundamental part of playing Babble for most players. Players would clamor for it to be reposted all day long so that it would always be near the top of the chat log."

7:07 am

Babbler

I thought you might like that he mentions swapping recipes.......... you are the Recipe Queen!! :D

7:07 am

FMitch

take your 6/24 and double the 1st vowel

7:10 am

mari

ToeSockMonkey

Grats cyber :) ....... monkey typing? lol :)

8:59 am

EvaNadine

25 words left to go, and fading fast!
would love to finish without referring to BA, but i might give in!

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

cyber - i got the correct spelling but i'll be darn if i can get the puzzle spelling...

9:01 am

ToeSockMonkey

In Chicago right now it's a bitter cold 2* F

9:02 am

ToeSockMonkey

It was -10* F when I woke up this A.M.

9:02 am

cybernan

Temple - drop the final consonant

9:03 am

EvaNadine

ok, stumped on my last M.
i have the sottish coin, the brain + the animal...
any hints on my missing one?

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

ty, cyber! : )

9:06 am

cybernan

eva - me 4/5, 5/12 -- no more than what is necessary, and more so

9:06 am

DarleenMB

evanadine do you have the M for the least?

9:07 am

Yoink

Well I should probably go do some work, bye all

9:07 am

EvaNadine

i do now!
heh, thanks all.

9:07 am

cybernan

Monkey - no wonder you're cold!! It's -6.5C (21F) here and I thought we were in the deep freeze!

9:08 am

EasternBlue

bye Yoink!

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, yoink!

9:08 am

DarleenMB

Cold? It's -14F here. Don't know what that is in C but it's damned cold!

9:09 am

dangus

how is saturn not a word?

9:09 am

DarleenMB

dangus ... it's a proper name. not allowed.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

eva - do yo mean a sCottish coin? i don't have that one...

9:10 am

cybernan

Darleen - are you in Alaska?

Saturn is a proper noun.

9:10 am

dangus

it should be on little grids like this

9:10 am

EvaNadine

heh, yes, thats the one i meant.
my fingers never do what i tell them to!

take a common M4 male name + change the vowel.

9:11 am

cybernan

Temple - change the last letter of the me 4/5 to a consonant (there's only one that adds up to 9)

9:11 am

DarleenMB

cybernan , LOL ... It's actually sometimes colder here in Wyoming that it is in Alaska. We're currently in the throes of the Arcic Express. The jet stream swings south of us dragging chilled Arctic air over our heads. 9 years ago we hit -35F. Cows died, frozen to the ground. Needless to say we went through a load of propane.

9:12 am

cybernan

Sounds a little like Alberta -- it's called the Alberta Express up here!

9:13 am

lizard

hi can someone explain to me what the numbers mean i.e. me 4/5?

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

thanks again, cybernan

9:13 am

DarleenMB

Ah ... yup, same thing. So YOU"RE the ones to blame for the cold, eh?

Now I'll be singing "Alberta, Alberta" all day.

9:14 am

EvaNadine

lizard -- its a code for clues.
for example: Me 4/5 would be a word that starts with ME...that is 4 letters long and worth 5 points.

9:14 am

EasternBlue

lizard - the first 2 letters of the word, the length of the work/the total point value of the word

9:15 am

DarleenMB

Welcome, lizard. Send some of that warm air up from AZ willya?

9:15 am

lizard

Thanks evanadine

9:15 am

cybernan

Hi lizard -- you must be new -- welcome!
re 5/18: re = first 2 letters, 5 = number of letters, 18 = number of points

9:15 am

EasternBlue

lizard...and welcome! You must be new!

lizard: look under 'Friends of Babble', click on 'babblers anon', then 'General', then 'stat's, and you will find a 2 letter word list that is produced daily by our friend and fellow babbler, Brandyjack.

9:19 am

ExWren

It seems to me as if we could do with one or two more vowels on the left side of the grid!

9:20 am

cybernan

In your dreams, ExWren

cybernan

9:28 am

paperdoll

9:28 am

EvaNadine

lizard -- it should be Me 4/5

9:29 am

paperdoll

ur 5/12 plural of ur 4/5

9:29 am

sandr

of course! sometimes i just dont see it - do you think you can get special babble glasses at the opticians?!

9:29 am

cybernan

ur 5/12 - latin plural for ur 4/5

9:30 am

sandr

thanks cybernan

9:30 am

paperdoll

I could use help with the sa 5/10, pr 5/12 and pr 6/21.

I know they are probably staring me in the face, but...

9:30 am

cybernan

You mean glasses that would differentiate between non words and gobbelty gook words that are accepted?

9:31 am

cybernan

sa 5/10 - alt. spelling for Indian garment

9:31 am

sandr

pr = someone who is nosy and pluralise it.

9:31 am

DarleenMB

Yeah Toe. Did you miss my whine? it's -14F here this morning.

9:32 am

sandr

yep those glasses sound about right - we could make a fortune selling to all the addicts!

9:33 am

Jatb

I'm sorry but I've gotta tell you its 81F here, sunny and I'm in a vest top.

I do like to look at the white stuff on the telly though ;)

9:33 am

cybernan

pr 5/12 and plural (pr 6): nosy person -- one who pokes into things that are none of their business.

9:33 am

paperdoll

Yippee!! I'm done!!

Thanks cybernan and sandr!!!

9:33 am

Lupe613

Good job paperdoll!

9:33 am

EvaNadine

9:34 am

well done paperdoll - still struggling on only another 20 to go!

9:34 am

EvaNadine

9:36 am

cybernan

I'm away also -- time for breakfast! -- no doubt I'll see some of you at the flip.

9:36 am

ToeSockMonkey

ROFL! Darleen! Wow that is cold... Get yourself a fleece blanket and hot chocolate!

9:36 am

paperdoll

Off to do some actual work....

*sigh*

9:38 am

ToeSockMonkey

Good question! I think the points add a little differently than the numbers on the blocks some times. It seems when there are a set of words you get more points for them as well (example-ball, balls, baller...)

9:39 am

ToeSockMonkey

am I wrong?

Later paperdoll! Cheer up!

9:40 am

renfield

ok - how unfair is that - it's going to 28F here on Friday - i mean we are semi tropical and totally inprepared for this flukey kind of weather

9:41 am

Jacula

Hi again. I'm back for a teabreak. Those of you that read the saga of the recycling bin earlier might like to know I got the lid back. LOL.

Anyone want any clues whilst I'm free?

9:42 am

hurshy

sure jac, i'll take a hint for the re8

9:43 am

Jacula

re8/50 is to re6/24 again. Silly word, I know, but it IS a word.

9:43 am

hurshy

golly gee! thanks, jac. :)

9:45 am

hurshy

oops, had forgotten to change my icon. here's the green one. refresh!

9:45 am

sandr

am missing the two si 6/18's any help would be gratefully received.

9:45 am

harpjane

TSM, we're -9F in Montana. My sister is -18.

9:46 am

DarleenMB

So harpjane, how is it it's warmer in MT than it is in Sheridan WY? It's now -15, btw. oh boy. A forecast hi of 7. whoop tee doo.

9:47 am

Lupe613

renfield - at this point I am looking forward to reaching 27F this weekend! This morning was brutal - and of course, my bus never came, had to wait 25 minutes for the next bus.... still thawing out with the help of hot chamomile tea!

9:47 am

DarleenMB

And I think I'll skip today's workout. I don't 'want to spend 40 minutes bundling up to go outside to drive to the Y.

9:47 am

Jacula

2nd si6/18 - double up the middle consonant in the si5 before it.

1st si/68 - a mountain range. Also the name of a (UK) Ford car.

9:49 am

sandr

thanks jac

9:50 am

harpjane

Darleen, luck of the draw, I guess! My town is west of the Continental Divide. The air from the Northern Pacific keeps us "warm" I guess. On the other side of the mountains there's not much of that "warm ocean breeze" that you get in Seattle. So I'm told.

9:50 am

hurshy

ah... what a nice relaxing puzzle.

9:50 am

Jacula

Any more? I'm here for a bit longer 'cos I'm now waiting for my son to free up the kitchen table so I can do something with the Christmas cakes and then wrap up pressies.

9:51 am

hurshy

i just finished, jac, so if you want to go i'll be here for a bit to give clues :)

9:51 am

hurshy

oh, read your message wrong. you DON'T want to go.

9:51 am

Jacula

Of course, I *could* get on with the ironing while I'm waiting. I *could*, but...

9:51 am

harpjane

The worse weather in my recollection was the winter of 1979. My sister got married at -22F. (Indoor wedding, but the honeymoon was at Old Faithful, where the HIGH was -45F. Turns out propane freezes at about -40.)

9:52 am

hurshy

you're really on the ball, jac. i haven't bought most of my christmas presents yet.

9:52 am

EasternBlue

oh, Jacula - that wouldn't be any fun!!

9:53 am

Jacula

Hurshy - I still have about 3 left to buy. Mind you, once I've wrapped what I've got and then had a panic, thinking, 'It's not enough!', I'll probably end up on the hunt again. LOL.

Does anyone else do that?

9:54 am

hurshy

hey, i just thought of something. babbler adopted me yesterday, and she's the president. so that makes me the First Daughter. i feel so important now.

9:55 am

Jacula

LOL, Hurshy.

9:55 am

hurshy

jac - i WOULD do that if i could afford to. lol.

9:56 am

hurshy

i'm going to have to update my bio.

9:56 am

EasternBlue

gonna go grab some tea...hands are cold!!

9:57 am

Jacula

'Hurshy, First Daughter of Babbleonia'.

9:57 am

DarleenMB

Yeah, but Harpjane, Yellowstone is like Jackson ... like no place on earth (according to the Wyoming Travel Commision). Well that trumps my -35 Christmas from 1996.

9:58 am

hurshy

ooh, i like it jac. one sec.

10:00 am

Jacula

Read your bio., Hurshy. It's offical now.:-)

10:00 am

hurshy

ta da! bio updated.

10:02 am

renfield

i give money - however i give the money for channukah - i've learned to start off w/ small bills and gradually increase the amount 8)

10:02 am

hurshy

did you see the first update or the second? ( where i added the title and thanked you)

10:04 am

Jacula

Hurshy - read the second one. I've just read 'Jatb's' bio., too, since she had an English flag and said it was 81F where she was. Like the bio. Made me laugh.

10:05 am

Minski

Greetings All! I have about 45 minutes to blow before Pee Wee and I are off to her Gymboree class and I couldn't think of a better way to blow them than Babbling.

It is about 25 degrees F here and sunny. A beautiful day. The coldest it gets here is generally 5 or 10 degrees below zero. It is supposed to be a very snowy winter so we'll see if it gets that cold or not.

Tough grid today.

10:05 am

Jacula

Right. Son has now vacated kitchen table so I'd better shift myself and do some work.

10:05 am

misstearweus

hi gang. any clues on the k's? I have the nice k4 and the k5 you may call a bad boyfriend

10:06 am

Jacula

10:10 am

hurshy

10:10 am

EasternBlue

hurshy - of course you can...I tell no secrets!

10:10 am

hurshy

pr 6/24 if you have the 7 before that, remove one e

10:11 am

EvaNadine

afternoon all...
changed my icon to something a bit more risque, perhaps?

10:11 am

hurshy

and if you don't have the first pr7, it's a baby born early. the second is a word for the leader of canada.

10:11 am

EasternBlue

eva - LOL!

10:11 am

hurshy

well, eb, i will tell you this then. i have a babble crush. on joelgee. :)

10:13 am

EvaNadine

heh, its the absynthe faerie

10:13 am

EasternBlue

hi tbear!

10:13 am

hurshy

oh, it's just that he's so witty and clever. i don't know if he feels the same. i think he's kind of a lone wolf type. can't be bothered with entanglements, you know the sort.

10:14 am

hurshy

hey tbear! :)

10:14 am

renfield

hey hurshy - congrats on your new title! Is there a pay raise that goes w/ that? 8)

10:14 am

hurshy

a pay RAISE? what about pay in the first place?

10:14 am

renfield

don't children receive an allowance?

10:14 am

tbear

hurshy so my threatening to keep him in my wardrobe might have scared him off...haven't 'seen' him for ages

10:16 am

hurshy

ren - hmm... good point... i'll have to talk to babbler about that
tbear - tsk tsk tsk

10:16 am

EasternBlue

ah hurshy - we've all fallen for the wrong lone wolf type (no offense to Grey Woulf if you're reading the log!!)...it's that bad-boy image that gets us!!

10:16 am

EasternBlue

tbear- maybe he's in Narnia now...

10:16 am

renfield

EB - i'm like you today - waiting on conference calls - hmmmmmmm

10:16 am

hurshy

yeah, when they're so "i don't need anybody" it makes you want to make them need you.

10:17 am

tbear

I'm allowed....I'm single!!! defending herself bear style grrrrrrrr

10:17 am

EasternBlue

renny - I am doing work in between chatting...not doing much for completing the grid tho!! : )

10:17 am

jcbetterman

Good morning everyone!

10:17 am

hurshy

tbear - single or not, i don't think anybody's allowed to keep anybody in their wardrobe.

10:18 am

hurshy

*hurshy sings* "she lies and says she's in love with him... can't find a betterman"
this is my way of welcoming you, jc.

10:18 am

EasternBlue

mornin' jc...

tbear - I wasn't saying you couldn't fall for the bad-boy type...it never seems to tu 4/5 out well!

10:18 am

tbear

10:19 am

renfield

10:19 am

hurshy

10:21 am

trishtrash

Hey all who recently joined...I'm getting interrupted by work 8 D

Miyavi_fan

Hey Easty!

EasternBlue

Miy...how are the hedges?? ; )

10:59 am

Miyavi_fan

Easty, very well behaved today! BUT...the sister and her BSBF (Big Scary Boy Friend) saw the marks on my arm and also think I've been cutting myself. So now my sis's concerned and he thinks I'm a freak :/

11:06 am

EasternBlue

Miya - isn't he the one with the pointy head??? BSBF who never removes his hat!!

11:07 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, I should have put her EBSBF! Ex-Big Scary Boy Friend. They seem to be the only type she's attracted to! But I don't think either of them were convinced by me telling them I was assaulted by a hedge.

11:07 am

Miyavi_fan

...Although Liam (EBSBF) also has a hat...

11:11 am

EasternBlue

well darling Miya...we know the truth!

Besides...how can you trust (E) or current BSBF's in hats anyway!!

11:11 am

i tell my partner about you guys, sometimes she looks over my shoulders while I babble in the eve, and she'll be like "what are they saying now?"

2:31 pm

smaller

2:32 pm

mamabear

2:32 pm

misstearweus

she'll come home from work and see me at it, glance at the screen and start yelling words! (ones I usually already have, but words nonetheless).

2:32 pm

torgone

Mama - Add an "e" in both cases.

2:32 pm

Deutsch

Thanks, smaller! Let's just say I've been interesting and around interesting people all my life, starting with my most interesting mom! LOL

Yes, Miss, this game can become quite verbal in the house! LOL

2:35 pm

Deutsch

*waves hand of encouragement to Bugzy*

2:35 pm

smaller

Deutsch and Miss,
seems fitting that the word for verbal diarrhea is "babble", doesn't it?

2:35 pm

luvmypom

Good afternoon all. Worked on this way to late last night. Let's see if some fresh eyes help.

2:36 pm

misstearweus

yeah, its crazy when I start yelling obcenities when down to 1 or 2 words in a letter category. And my favorite is "that's a word?"

2:37 pm

misstearweus

babble has become part of vernacular. "babble yourself to sleep", "babble with you later"...oh I have others. My friends look at me wierd.

2:37 pm

Deutsch

good one, smaller!
Hi Luvmypoms!

2:38 pm

*Still monkeytyping* :(

2:40 pm

Deutsch

Hi Lupe!

2:40 pm

Bugzy

Hey Lupe :)

2:41 pm

misstearweus

bugzy, I did look for a Green Day, but I found Green Tea Muffins instead.

2:41 pm

Deutsch

*patiently waiting with crazy for re8 clue*

2:42 pm

misstearweus

use your re6/24

2:42 pm

Lupe613

re+ re6/24

2:42 pm

Deutsch

Um, that would be crash, and not crazy. sorry, crash.
Was that a babbleonian slip?

2:42 pm

smaller

re8, what you are currently having to do to get someone to give you the clue, and then to do it again

2:43 pm

Bugzy

miss - I thought those were lime tarts !! LOL

2:44 pm

Deutsch

*twitches ears* guess I better get to work on the re's!
Thanks!

2:45 pm

misstearweus

LOL!!! No muffins.

2:45 pm

luvmypom

Even my "monkey typing" doesn't seem to help today. This is a tough one!

2:45 pm

Lupe613

Deutsch - re6/24 = re+mi4/6

2:45 pm

Deutsch

Miss, I thought they were green cherries. Now how weird is that?
*putting nose to the babblestone*

2:46 pm

shorty

ok I cant figure it out yet

2:46 pm

misstearweus

see you guys are killing me again and my office door is open...(babblestone).
I look crazy chuckling to myself.

2:47 pm

Deutsch

*slaps self with fish of obviousness* Of course! thanks, Lupe!

2:48 pm

Lupe613

you're welcome!

2:49 pm

Deutsch

Oh, you're back, shorty.
I forget how to get an icon. I can change them, but that's not helpful at the moment.
anyone?

2:49 pm

Bugzy

miss - the PANTS day, I was laughing so loud my office neighbor came over to see if I was all right (she thought I was crying)!!

2:50 pm

misstearweus

i was in tears

2:50 pm

Lupe613

LOL Bugzy - the best is when I'm laughing out loud right as someone is passing my office - all they see is that I am looking at my computer screen and cracking up.

2:52 pm

misstearweus

i had to hide the log to concentrate on my target score that day, but I couldn't resist and opened it up again and kept choking from laughter.

2:52 pm

shorty

ty deutsch anybody??????????

2:53 pm

Deutsch

Shorty just went pro. Can someone help her put up her first icon?

2:53 pm

torgone

shorty - In the upper right corner of your profile, do see the [edit]?

2:53 pm

misstearweus

shorty, you can save an icon to your desktop by right clicking and saving as (to your desktop, if you want), then upload from the second method on the edit image page.

2:54 pm

shorty

ok

2:55 pm

Deutsch

Hey, torgone! Thanks. I tried once to help someone and kept leaving out important parts!

2:55 pm

Bugzy

Yay!! Finally got that pesky p4!!
All done without the 2nd letter list!

2:56 pm

torgone

Click on [edit] - You'll have 2 choices; get a pic from the web, or from your computer.

2:56 pm

shorty

ok

2:57 pm

shorty

how do i get it from the web

2:57 pm

Deutsch

Bugzy! You're amazing! WTG!

2:58 pm

Bugzy

TY Deutsch
*Pops cork*
Bubbly anyone?

2:58 pm

luvmypom

torgone, make sure Shorty knows to log out and log back in before the new icon will show. I didn't know that -- just figured it out after some frustration! :-)

Bugzy, interesting you mentioned the "green day" thing to me -I had planned on doing it when I logged on but the icon thing stumped me -- now it is kinda anticlimatic. *sigh*

2:59 pm

luvmypom

definitely some bubbly needed here -- it's after lunch so anything goes, right? lol

2:59 pm

Lupe613

Good Job Bugzy! *extends champers glass*

3:00 pm

Deutsch

I have 13 to go. but what the heck! *Holds glass out for filling*

3:00 pm

torgone

To get a pic from the web: Find a pic you like, preferably square; right click on the pic; Go to "Properties"; with your cursor, highlight everything on the address (URL) line; right click on that and select "copy".....Try this on someone's icon, then we'll go to step 2..

3:00 pm

Bugzy

Well I think it's too cool, pom.
I was thinking about doing the American Idiot cover as my icon, but I already had this one, and besides, the Spartans won their game last night, so I went with it :)

3:01 pm

hello all :)

3:01 pm

Hi sherb!

3:02 pm

TY, bgzy, now back to babble those last 13 words!

misstearweus

parting is such sweet babble...

3:03 pm

HotTimale

i'll partake in a little vino... one hour of work left and nothing to do

3:03 pm

torgone

Parting is such sweet PANTS!

Still with me, shorty?

3:03 pm

sherb

hi Deutsch :)

cheers Bugzy! ...not sure if Robin Hood would have drunk champagne...it was probably mead or something in those days...but I'll happily share a glass :)

3:04 pm

misstearweus

LOL!!! stop it already, see I really must leave now.

3:05 pm

Bugzy

*pours a glass for HotTimale*
Robin Hood robbed from the rich, right? Surely they had champagne!!
*pours one for Sherb and Friar Tuck too*

3:07 pm

luvmypom

Bugzy, they had a GD marathon on Fuse TV last weekend. It uncluded some of their really old videos plus interviews, etc. We were moving into our new house so I didn't get to see the whole thing, but It was fun to watch off and on.

3:07 pm

Deutsch

Nooooo, you can't leave, Miss!

3:08 pm

torgone

I think I confused shorty....

3:08 pm

shorty

whys that

3:09 pm

Deutsch

Maybe torgone. Or maybe she's lost somewhere in babbleland. Shorty?

3:09 pm

Deutsch

You need to get an icon. Babble seems to prefer jpeg

3:09 pm

shorty

oh yea im here sorry

3:09 pm

Bugzy

Excellent - Never heard of Fuse TV - is it a music channel?

3:11 pm

torgone

Are you still trying to get an icon from the web?

3:11 pm

shorty

yeah

3:12 pm

luvmypom

"Fuse TV provides the latest in television, music and music videos." (from their website) Even though I'm old, I like it. It has some funky stuff. lol

3:13 pm

sherb

shorty - go to Google, Images and you'll find lots of icons to choose from :)

3:13 pm

torgone

Did you see my 3:00 post?
Are you able to get that far?

3:14 pm

shorty

oh no im reading it now

3:15 pm

Norad

good afternoon babblers! Been on and off all day, but looking for final three. Any help would be appreciated as I've only had time to finish 2 puzzles since August! I need sa 5/10...si 5/10...si 6/18...Thx

3:15 pm

Bugzy

Wow, like MTV back when they used to show videos. And music. (I'm no youngster myself, apparently.) I don't think we get it here on my cable, though.
Too bad. :(

3:15 pm

Haz1558

sa 5/10 is an alternative spelling of Indian women's wear

3:16 pm

shorty

it keeps saying opps

3:16 pm

Haz1558

si 5 and si 6 are variations of the same word. Extend your si 4/4

3:16 pm

Deutsch

Hi Norad!

3:17 pm

shorty

Oops. The file you selected was not a .gif or a .jpg.

thats what it keeps saying

3:17 pm

Bugzy

Norad - all 3 end in the same last 3 letters... :)

3:18 pm

Norad

Hi Deutsch! Thanks Haz and Bugzy...I'm working on it!

3:19 pm

sherb

shorty - when you save the file, it allows you to select the format - you can either choose either jpeg or gif from there, or use a picture editing programme to save it in a different format

3:20 pm

sherb

and why isn't 'Kreme' a word? lol

3:22 pm

Deutsch

I agree, sherb! And why is kr5 20 a word? LOL

3:25 pm

shorty

yeah i got it

3:26 pm

Deutsch

YEA for shorty!

3:26 pm

3:39 pm

Deutsch

Hi shorty, you get the stats that tell you how many words and how many start with each letter.

3:40 pm

sherb

well, apart from hours of fun choosing icons (!), you get the stats panel - click on 'Flip to stats'...and the camaraderie of being one of the Pro bunch ;)

3:41 pm

torgone

shorty - Sorry I had to bug out for a minute. I see you got an icon! Good job!

3:42 pm

oh thats Ok but I thank you for your help

3:50 pm

EasternBlue

luvie - the project I'm on is running pretty smoothly & still several months til launch, so I don't have to say much amidst all the other system issues!!

3:51 pm

Haz1558

ea 6/18 is a comparative adjective. Not so difficult.
ur 5/12 is the plural of the ur 4 above it.

3:51 pm

Lupe613

sue - ea = simpler

3:51 pm

Deutsch

ur 5 is the latin plural of ur4

3:51 pm

EasternBlue

Suel - ea -
it makes it ea_ _ _ _ to finish a puzzle when someone helps with clues....

3:58 pm

Deutsch

That's not cheating, Sherry! That's called aiding and ababbling!

3:58 pm

3:59 pm

Hi harpjane!

Hi baggo!

Trotters, they all finished this afternoon and I think Xmas or possibly the European Championship has blunted their Babble addiction

4:21 pm

Karys

whose a clever girl then EB...(just like Mummy)..
Trotters ..at the moment I'm looking for the re8...ty for asking

4:21 pm

Sherry

Hi Harpjane!

It's a daft one, look at the re6 before and do it again!

Karys

fraid not Eb...can draw...can't post !!!

Sherry - don't you hate it when beignets won't listen to reason?? They can be so fresh!

4:22 pm

Deutsch

And hi harpjane and karys and anyone who logged on while I was out.

4:22 pm

EasternBlue

Karys - perhaps my drawing skill is from my father??

4:24 pm

EasternBlue

Sherry - hmmmmmm
with a framboise lambic....

4:24 pm

Anj

Trotters, if you're referring to Man Utd, the Stretford end will be wearing black armbands for that performance. No Keane, no guts, no glory i'm afraid.

4:24 pm

Trotters

Anj
I spotted your little naughty one!

4:24 pm

Karys

WELL.....Trotters....how silly can they get !!!....ty

4:25 pm

Sherry

Btw, what the heck is a2z?

4:25 pm

4:26 pm

Trotters

Anj, there goalie only did one save, that says it all, oh I do hope Rooney will be OK for the world cup, Utd isn't the place for him now! Karys, I have to admit I used a2z for that one and thought ******!!

5:56 pm

torgone

Trotters - I like ale actually, Old Speckled Hen sounds familiar. I like Fuller's ESB, and other strong, hoppy ales.

5:57 pm

Karys

Guess its bedtime for me.....Ni nite everyone xx

5:57 pm

Jacula

Sherry - Funny you should mention Old Speckled Hen. I've just been tidying the drinks cupboard and there's a bottle of that in there, along with Theakston's Old Peculiar, Old Hooky, Marston's Single Malt, Fursty Ferret and Wyre Piddle's 'Piddle in the Hole' beers.

5:57 pm

torgone

Jac - Maybe if I'm nice enough, I'll get a naughty present!

5:58 pm

Jacula

Torgone - ROFLOL. You never know.

5:59 pm

Sherry

6:07 pm

Sherry

PFH: Karys' clue for pr5/14...first part dried plum...second part childs thank you.

6:08 pm

Jacula

PFH
pr8/50(2nd one) - plural of 2ns pr5/12
pr5/12 - a nosey parker
pr6/21 - plural of pr5/12
pr5/14 - a wrong spelling of an old Iraeli coin worth one thousandth of a pound. Sounds like little Prudence getting a short thank you.

6:08 pm

Jacula

Hi Evanout.

6:09 pm

Sherry

Trotters: indeed! and there pretty cool wines around here, from the Gers and from the Tarn as well, like Gaillac. My favourite red is Gaillac.

6:09 pm

evanonut

jacula, sherry and all

6:10 pm

Sherry

You said it Eva! with obvious words that you can't see right away.

6:10 pm

Jacula

Eva - I think all those blocks of 'e's' and 'r's' confuse the eye.

6:11 pm

Trotters

sherry, I'm a claret person, (love the reds and they are medicinal!), st.emilion, medoc, nothing better.

6:11 pm

Jacula

Anyway, between wrapping Christmas presents, I'm here for clue-giving when required.

6:21 pm

Jacula

6:24 pm

Jacula

I seem to be alone here. 5 postings in a row! Well, I've just been bleeped and called away to another forum, an urgent matter it seems. Back in a bit (I hope).

QueenRee

It got quiet in here all of a sudden

6:29 pm

renfield

you were not alone jacula - i was wondering about the refesh - sounds like ' refesh madness'

6:32 pm

renfield

i thin it's the children's hour - where one side of the atlantic signs off and the other side signs on - and all the others are sleeping, on their way home, or about to be on their way home

6:33 pm

QueenRee

Oh...I see

6:33 pm

Jacula

6:42 pm

renfield

pr 4/6 - plural

6:42 pm

Jacula

As I said this morning, re8/50 would be useful when your hubby accuses you of 'nagging' when you ask him to do something again. You can say, 'No, dear. I am simply re8/50ing you!'

6:42 pm

renfield

brandy - fine pix!

6:42 pm

Jacula

BJ - You're showing your age with that last clue!:-)

6:49 pm

brandyjack

7:01 pm

mamabear

now THAT's a clue that's FRAME-WORTHY, Jacula!!!!!!
LOL

7:01 pm

Jacula

Blimey! I tied my own tongue up with that last clue. Think I've done too many cryptic crosswords in my time.:-/

7:02 pm

Jacula

LOL, Mama. You obviously thought the same as me. You'd better start a hall of fame in BabAnon for it.:-)

7:02 pm

*Thinks. I will make this work. I will!* LOL.

7:05 pm

licketySplitAUS

Jac... I got it... I was laughing hard as I got it cause that was cryptic as heck

7:06 pm

renfield

i think the new jacula word is "refesh"

7:06 pm

pbr

Just have all the pr's and re's remaining...on we go

7:06 pm

Jacula

su5 sounds like the start of of word that means you carry a baby for someone else, it is implanted into your womb and you are a su**ogate mother. Change the last vowel to a no. 1 vowel. LOL.

7:08 pm

Jacula

Thank you, Renfield & Lickety. *Takes a bow.*

7:10 pm

licketySplitAUS

Jac... thanks again... :)

Jacula

AKnitter - we used to have 21 mice and 18 hamsters. I once sat with a sick mouse down my bra almost all night to keep him warm. He survived and became one of our longest living mice at just over 3-years' of age.

7:18 pm

Jacula

Lickety - I'm a she not a he!

AKnitter - the Aussies call sellotape/Scotch tape 'Durex'. That causes some confusion to we Brits, since it's a brand of condom over here. LOL.

7:18 pm

licketySplitAUS

Sorry Jac!

7:18 pm

7:41 pm

PFH

7:41 pm

Jacula

PBR - re6/24 - to tell someone to do something you may already have asked them to do. re8/50 - to ask them that again. Don't know how old you but think old Sandie Shaw song, 'There's Always Something There To Re**** Me'.

7:43 pm

7:50 pm

pthomp

pr7-36 clue?

7:50 pm

kristin

I agree Jac, I'm outside of Nashville and we are expecting our first ice/snow storm tomorrow -

7:52 pm

A infant. born early

7:54 pm

Jacula

1st pr7/36 - a baby born early.
2nd pr7/36 - how the British Prime Minister is sometimes described (not the insulting descritions). LOL.

7:55 pm

Jacula

PBR - Where are you headed for in UK? The adaptor should do the voltage change for you, as I think you use different voltage there? We are 240 volts, but ask at the airport.

7:57 pm

pbr

Jacula -- Stotfold???

7:58 pm

pthomp

prb - online sroes for pdas have adapters - sometimes staples & officemax too

7:59 pm

8:08 pm

shorty

any clue for su5/12 please

8:10 pm

su5 sounds like the start of of word that means you carry a baby for someone else, it is implanted into your womb and you are a su**ogate mother. Change the last vowel to a no. 1 vowel.

8:10 pm

licketySplitAUS

shorty... start with s, then go south of it, then east of it, then north of it, then west of it and you have the word SU***

8:11 pm

licketySplitAUS

Jac, thanks... am excited and elated and stupid at the same time.

8:18 pm

Fireworks would be cool when you've completed a board.

8:18 pm

Jacula

Prodrafter - pr8 - proper English way of spelling the word for a film's opening night.
pr5/12 - a nosey parker.
pr6/21 - plural of above.

8:19 pm

licketySplitAUS

pr 8/50 is pr7/36 plural
pr 6/21 is a early born baby spelt different

8:21 pm

licketySplitAUS

Prodraft... I've got to go... I am confusing everyone here... sorry about that clue... pr6/21 is what Jac said... me, I have lost it for the day...

8:21 pm

renfield

i'm back for a little while - 8) - bet you didn't even know i was gone.....hahahahahaha

8:22 pm

Jacula

Lickety - not the pr8 wanted. The pr 6 you referred to is the pr 6/24.

8:23 pm

Jacula

Night, night, Lickety. 'See' you later. Sleep well.

Renfield, I did notice you were gone, actually. (Said in a very Hugh Grant way.)

8:27 pm

prodrafter

Lickety,
Thanks for offering to help. We all know how it is at the end of the day. This will be the second time I've finished one (once I get these last three). Dialup really slows things down.

Thank God I'm on broadband! LOL.

8:28 pm

wow jacula - that's a lot of bread for specs - mine usually cost about US $300 for designer frames - and no glare - and i need really comgy specs since i've had 3 plastic surgeries on my face (not to make me look good) but to remove the too much sun cancer. My plastic surgeron is great - you cannot even see the scars - and I wanted so badly to be called scar face - my husband even bought me the paul muni scar face movie. we went around doing 30's ganster lingo while i had the stitches in. 8)

8:59 pm

Jacula

bbnaz - you could scroll back to get clues for all of those.

9:01 pm

bbnaz

Thx Jac but everytime I try to do that my computer freezes. No worries. will keep looking on my own.

9:01 pm

Jacula

Hey Renfield. Ther was a son back in the late 60s/early 70s called 'Al Capone'. 'Don't call me Scarface, my names Al Capone!'

9:01 pm

Jacula

Good evening, or morning as it is here in UK, Marc. Yes you did ask for those clues before. I answered. No point in me answering again if youn didn't get them before, I guess? *shrugs in a very Gallic way*

9:19 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Ren! You're a savior!

9:19 pm

Babs1

ee 6/18 just a little more weird or scary...

9:20 pm

Jacula

Those nosey parker words usually have a 'y' rather than a first person singular in them.

9:22 pm

renfield

your welcome - 8)
marc - do you have ee 5? add one of the consonents that are in abundance on this grid to the end of ee 5

9:24 pm

Babs1

9:24 pm

renfield

Jacula

The em's -

Arabian military commander, independent chieftain, or ruler of a province; also, an honorary title given to the descendants of Mohammed, in the line of his daughter Fatima; among the Turks, likewise, a title of dignity, given to certain high officials.

The next one is its plural.

9:27 pm

tabbycat

Thanks bb & ren. These words that double back on themselves cause me trouble every time.

9:27 pm

renfield

torgone

Think of a movie's first showing, bb.

9:30 pm

renfield

do you have pr 7/36? if so add the 2nd vowel to the end
then for the 2nd 8/50 - take off the vowel and make 7/36 plural

9:32 pm

Jacula

Renfield - when my mother was an office worker back in the late 40's/early 50's - there was a very nosey woman in her office called Jean. One day, after too much nosiness had gone on during a conversation, my Mother remarked, 'Your surname should have been PARKER!' 'Oh', said Jean, who was by then married with a surname I don't recall, 'It was, before I was married.' My Mum then succumbed to one of those wetting yourself fits of laughter in public.

9:32 pm

bbnaz

i have the first showing it must be the other one that i need. dagnabbit i hate being so dense

9:32 pm

Marc Freeman

thanks Ren got the pr8/50 do you have a clue for su5/12

9:38 pm

Jacula

Renfield - you won't like it if you actually do it! LOL.

9:38 pm

renfield

if you have the pr for the opening of a movie it is a 7/36 - then add the 2nd vowel to the end for pr 8
ok - then for the 2nd pr8 - take away the vowel you just added and make it a plural of the movie opening

9:39 pm

renfield

oh jacula - sometimes i laugh so hard - i can't breath - and then i ....well i have no control over my laughter....8)

9:40 pm

Griffums

Hidey ho everyone...

9:40 pm

bbnaz

HUZZAH! I am so dense that I kept looking for a word that I already had. So thanks to all of your stellar clues and most appreciated help, I have finished a second puzzle! Happy to help if anybody wants this doddering gal's input.........

9:41 pm

renfield

hey grifs - i thought about you today - there was a caddy from Alaska in front of me at the bank!

9:41 pm

renfield

bing!!!!bang!!!! FIREWORKS- for you bbnaz!

9:42 pm

Jacula

BBNaz - no crime that; looking for words you already have. Have been guilty of that many a time!

9:42 pm

Griffums

For a second there I thought you meant golf. When I drove from Anchorage to eastern PA (and back), I felt a little lonely on the road. Coming into St. Cloud MN one night a gal went past me screaming and waving. Holy crud, I thought, the car is shooting smoke, but then I saw the license plate from home. In 11,000+ miles in those two trips, it was the only expatriate I saw.

9:42 pm

Babs1

way to go bbnaz...still need si 5/10 and second 6/18

9:43 pm

Jacula

Griffums has become Gladys Pugh? Hi de hi!

9:43 pm

torgone

Yaya bbnaz!

9:43 pm

renfield

si 5 - take 2nd si 4 - and duplicate the last vowel
si 6 - add and extra consonent - you know the one - the one in abundance in this grid

9:44 pm

Griffums

Wow, torgone, I love the set of your jib.....er, jaw.

9:44 pm

Babs1

ooh also missing pr 4/6 and 6/24 *struggling to move two sets of competing dog paws off of mouse*

9:45 pm

Jacula

Babs, either feed the dogs or be pack leader and growl at them to go off and leave you be.

9:46 pm

torgone

How's it goin' eh, Griff?

9:46 pm

Babs1

dogs have eaten...they just like to lie on bed this time of night (especially when mom is eating something yummy)!

9:48 pm

Griffums

Fine fine. Just trying to finish up the last 20 or so I left from last night when I was BUI.

9:48 pm

Jacula

Babs - I wasn't kidding about growling at them. Dogs need to know their place in the pack. You do not have to be cruel to them to show them that.

9:48 pm

bbnaz

german word for woman except you change the "f" to the "p"

9:49 pm

Jacula

Great clue, BBNAZ!

9:50 pm

renfield

driving home - catch ya'll in a few -

9:50 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Jac...I do let them know who's boss and often have to mix in their pecking order when middle one snaps at my big one to keep him out of the kitchen! And then I have the little guy who thinks he owns and runs the wordld..all 4# of white fluff of him!

9:50 pm

Griffums

drive safe ren

9:50 pm

bbnaz

thanks Jac! didn't know any other way to put it.

Oh and my dog Elvis knows that he is the hound dog and I am the KING !

9:51 pm

bbnaz

drive fast and weave Ren.

It works for the formula one drivers, it will work for you too!

9:52 pm

Jacula

\Babs - the little one will try his hardest to be leader, just like small men do. Thing is, YOU have to be leader of the pack (queue the old 60s song). You MUST be the boss, otherwise it's chaos.

9:53 pm

Marc Freeman

Ren I took the si5/10 which I had but when I added the constantant at the end for the 6/18 it did not work. What am I doing wrong.

Also any clues on the re8/50

9:54 pm

Jacula

If boundaries aren't set down then chaos rules. This applies to kids as well as animals. The boundaries do not have to bet set harshly ( except in a few cases) but they do need to be set.

Okay, getting off my soapbox now.

9:55 pm

Babs1

Yes...you are right, Jacula...ever watch the dog whisperer? maybe it's only on cable in the U.S.

still missing the em's --did I miss some clues?

9:56 pm

Jacula

Oh bloody hell, Marc! Ecuse me for talking to you like this, but your have same name as my son! As I've said a million times before (now don't exaggerate!) - re8 is to re6 AGAIN!!!

9:57 pm

Babs1

few more to go...any helpers out there...still need pr 6/24..

9:59 pm

Jacula

SI6/18, Marc - you double up the consonants in the MIDDLE.

9:59 pm

bbnaz

early newborn but with only one second vowel after the "pr"

9:59 pm

doxy1lover

babs, similar to pr7 before it. Remove one vowel

10:00 pm

Jacula

pr6/24 - remove a middle consonant from the word below it.

10:01 pm

Marc Freeman

Jac, I don't mind got both and thanks. But for the record I am older than you.
Best to your son.

10:01 pm

Babs1

thanks, got the pr...now to the em's

10:01 pm

allstartwithX

Need a clue for the first si 6/18. It's my last word. Am I missing something too obvious?

10:02 pm

Babs1

all start...time for you to put on the tierra and change the beginning consonant!

10:03 pm

torgone

allstart - Treasure of the Si6 Madre.

10:04 pm

Babs1

hmm.looks like I need the second si 6/18

10:05 pm

allstartwithX

7 years of Spanish in high school and college... all wasted apparently. DUH! Got it. Finished and thanks for the help!

10:05 pm

torgone

Yes6/18 Bob, you do.

10:05 pm

Jacula

Marc - yes, your are 6 years' older than me. Am insterested to know if your name is therefore French-based rather than after Marc Bolan?

10:05 pm

torgone

Yay X-man!

10:08 pm

doxy1lover

help with last pr5/14. My last one.

10:08 pm

Babs1

last words needed:

Em's, er 4/4, ea 6/18 and second si 6/18

10:08 pm

Jacula

Marc could also be Polish, I think? As well as Welsh (which is where I was coming from with it + the Marc Bolan thing).

10:08 pm

torgone

Side note: The best part of making chicken stock is the aroma that fills the house while it's simmering...

10:09 pm

doxy1lover

babs, er's
1- to er** is human
2-a time period

10:09 pm

Jacula

LOL, Torgone. Stop trying to put people off finishing! The rankings aren't everything, you know! ROFLOL.

10:10 pm

doxy1lover

ea6 - things are simple, then simpler

10:10 pm

Jacula

Hi Doxy. Did you make that stew yet?

10:11 pm

doxy1lover

si6/18 - yes si****, add double consonants, double vowels

10:11 pm

Babs1

thanks, doxie...another duh!

10:11 pm

allstartwithX

doxy - your pr 5/14 starts with 3 letters that are the same as the nickname for the insurance company that uses the Rock of Gibralter as its icon. Then noodle and monkey tpe for the last 2 letters.

10:12 pm

doxy1lover

hi jacula, nope, been too busy working this week. Have a church party on friday that I am helping with, baby shower on Sat. for my daughter. Maybe next week.

10:12 pm

torgone

Jac - I know rankings aren't everything. Check my rankings for proof. Just an observation...

10:13 pm

Jacula

TIP OF THE DAY -

If you KNOW you've just put boiling water into the washing up bowl DO NOT put your hands into it! This messae is far more important than the inside out bra one I posted a few days ago.:-/

10:14 pm

torgone

Ouchies!!!

10:14 pm

doxy1lover

jacula, I did need to ask you a question. What is a swede? Have no clue what kind of veggie (?) that is.

10:14 pm

Jacula

Torgone - will check the rankings later. Think I'm joint 32nd or something like that.

10:15 pm

torgone

Just a joke, Jac. I got what you meant.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Doxy - a swede is what the Scots call a neep. It's larger than a turnip and has a purplish/red outer skin.

10:16 pm

Babs1

never occurred to me about rankings..guess I'm not all that competitive! Anyway, down to the em's here..

10:16 pm

doxy1lover

ok, thanks.

10:17 pm

doxy1lover

All done.

10:17 pm

torgone

Arab chief/s, Babs.

10:18 pm

Marc Freeman

No Jac my mother just wanted a girl and was going to name her Marcie. So she named me Marc. But the I went and married a Marci. Cute huh.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Babs - you may have to be a stubborn Taurus or an Aries, or maybe a Leo, to be concerned about the rankings. Anj, like myself, is Taurean. Check out his place on the rankings now! LOL.

10:20 pm

Jacula

Well done, Doxy!!!

Marc - confusing when the post arrives - just as it is for my two kids! LOL.

GreyWoulf

Hello to all -- how are you all this evening/day/whatever?

I was up till 4:30 this AM finishing this one, so am here to give clues and chat :)

10:22 pm

Jacula

Well, if only those computer-listed databases would bother to use other initials, my 2 kids would not get their post confused. LOL. Never mind, more for the shredder and the hutches.

10:22 pm

torgone

Yay doxy!!

10:23 pm

Babs1

Thanks, all...just finished...looking at the rankings blurs my vision! Nite all.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Wolfie! Hiya! What time is it where you are now and how's the little one?

10:24 pm

Marc Freeman

Allstar for the last pr5/14 got the Rock of Gibralta for the first three letters but don't understand you clue for the last three could you please clarify.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Goodnight Babs.

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi, GWoulf and all - I'm 18 words away from finishing. Been working on it at work on paper BUT left the paper AT work (dang it), so have to recall...

10:29 pm

JBsAnno

By the way, I've been by the way and out of the Babble loop - where's SmeltzDog and MamaBear and the cuzzi?

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, JB

10:30 pm

Jacula

Just got a text from other half (away on a night out). I tried to get him up for 3am. *Shrugs*

10:30 pm

JBsAnno

It's TRUE! I just remembered another one!
(hee hee)

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Don't know about Smeltzdog, but MAMA is swamped with other obligations both for work and her church -- she has a concert on Sunday so unfortunately we may not see her for a little bit

10:31 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks Jac that was my last word. I am done and going to bed.

All the best, until tomorrow.

10:31 pm

Jacula

JBSAnno - please do not post grid words on the log. LOL.

10:32 pm

Jacula

Night, night Marc, older 'son'.

10:33 pm

Jacula

!!!!FIREWORKS!!!! FOR MARC! He's done.

10:33 pm

Marc Freeman

By the way Jac, the post is never confusing in our house. All the checks go to her and I get all of the bills.

Nite

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Good work, Marc - sleep well

10:33 pm

JBsAnno

What? Me, post words?? Well, I ne...

10:33 pm

Jacula

Marc - sounds like a good arrangement. LOL. Sleep well.

10:34 pm

Jacula

LOL JBA.

10:36 pm

Jacula

So, is there anyone lurking who needs clues? Speak now or forever hold your peace (or spell that last word however you choose, lol.)

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- however, Smeltzdog gave me a set of keys for the jacuzzi, so whenever we want to open it up, just say the word ;)

10:37 pm

JBsAnno

ooooo, look out, 69 words - I'm 14 away from finishing. I just cooked up an sa word and am working on the other sa's and si's.

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

It is quiet tonight, Jac -- isn't it?

10:38 pm

torgone

I've finished, Jac, but according to my kids I need a clue . .

10:38 pm

JBsAnno

So, GW, how do you use the keys? With your paws or with your teeth?
Open it up, it's FREEZING here in Phila! Coldest night of the season - 16 degrees and snow coming in on Friday.

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

Torgone, that's a perfect line for that icon!

10:40 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - what more invitation do you need to open up? LOL.
Torgone - what clue??

10:41 pm

JBsAnno

Aww - AFK FK
*away from keyboard feeding kitties*

Rev it up, GW, I'll be back in a few minutes! Gotta get my sippy cup!

10:41 pm

GreyWoulf

OK, OK, I get the hint

*unlocks jacuzzi, and turns temp up roasty toasty*

10:43 pm

Jacula

Erm. Torg is just camouflaged? LOL.

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

We're supposed to be getting anywhere from 6- 12 inches of snow here this Friday -- I am going to be wishing I had a real 'cuzzi then :D

10:43 pm

Jacula

He's trying to be naughty, but also nice enough to get a naughty present from Santa.

10:44 pm

torgone

Refresh, Jac.

10:48 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Jacuzzis are all fine and dandy but saunas are the thing to have. You can have one with de-gongestants for cold suffers, or you can have a dry or wet one. Saunas are ace. (But don't go to places where they originatedm where they expect you to to go from bathing naked in an ice cold pool, and then being spanked with birch twigs before going in there.:-((

10:48 pm

Jacula

Young, kinda naughty Santa in shades. LOL.

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - you're right, sauna beats a jacuzzi any day ;)

Oh, and Tor's icon is Johnny Bravo

10:53 pm

JBsAnno

So, I'm back...

and there's Jac saying about being naked and something about sticks...

Can't leave you guys alone for a minute!

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

No, JB - a minute is a safe interval -- it's when we are left for LONGER than a min that we get bored & dangerous
;D

10:55 pm

Jacula

LOLJBsA. True!

10:56 pm

Jacula

Damn, Wolfie! You mean we weren't getting dangerous there? LOL.

JBsAnno

Hey, Jac, can I bring a sippy into the sauna?

11:06 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Tor, thought you had 'gone'! ROFLOL. (Bad joke!) No, there are two saunas. You are only allowed in whatever sauna if your eyesight is going. LOL.

11:06 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, ren -- when I was in college, my best friend dubbed me Clark Dobie Grant in reference to Clark Gable, Dobie Gillis, and Cary Grant :D
