12:16 am

luvmypom

Ya know, this is such a great time of the evening -- quiet house, cup of tea, and babbling while listening to christmas music with my pup sleeping next to the monitor. Pretty darn nice. :)

12:53 am

luvmypom

Nite Darleen. :)

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

most of mine are 4's, luv -- when I run out of those, then I'll be in trouble :D

12:55 am

luvmypom

Mine too GW, that goes w/o saying! lol

12:56 am

luvmypom

Isn't a cross between a banana and pineapple a "panana"? :P

12:56 am

sprite

Back for a mo... you are all doing great, I see.

12:57 am

sprite

luvmypom: what a wonderful word!

12:57 am

luvmypom

Hey sprite. :) Get the kids off?

12:58 am

cybernan

Giving up for the night -- peepers keep drooping!
Good night everyone -- see you tomorrow.

12:58 am

sprite

No, they just had their breakfast and now they are playing till it is time for school. Er... I should say, WE are playing, though not the same game, lol.

12:59 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite c-nan -- catch you then!
(*hug*)

12:59 am

sprite

Nite cybernan!
And yes, I do think hitman should be valid, but it isn't :(

12:59 am

Jacula

104 here, v. glad I know building trade words... have a text to answer now, brb.

1:00 am

luvmypom

Wow Sprite... I'm impressed you get everyone ready and still have time for them to play before school. We used to watch for the bus as shoes were being tied!

1:00 am

luvmypom

Good nite cybernan. Have a good rest of the evening.

1:01 am

sprite

I try to impress upon my kids that getting up early enough to have some time for play is rewarding, lol. I hate being rushed, especially in the morning. But I will not be surprised if later in life they will sleep in till the very last moment ;)

1:03 am

luvmypom

My 16 y/o son rolls out of bed at 7:45 - leaves the house at 8:00. Ahhh to be a teen boy! lol

1:04 am

sprite

My son is 9, so he still runs my schedule... won't be long before he will follow only his own, though ;)
I hope we will survive the teenboy years-to-come. Any tips?

1:04 am

GreyWoulf

really wish I could see the 10...

1:07 am

luvmypom

I have 4 boys. I think boys are fantastic. Although they play the tough guys, they love their mothers. Just make sure to hug and kiss him lots. Even when they say they don't like it, they really do. :)

1:07 am

sprite

Don't have that one yet, but would you like C8/50 - 9/66? Sounds like friends to share your money with, but I will look up the def to see what it really means, lol. Tried it just for fun.

1:09 am

sprite

I will remember that, luvmypom :)
We are a hugging family, so all we need to do is keep up the good work in spite of tough appearances - guess we can do that.

1:11 am

luvmypom

Well, my little pup, Sophie, has now crawled up on my shoulder and gone to sleep. Guess that's a sign it's time for bed. :)

TTFN ... see you all in the a.m. *hugs all around*

1:12 am

Jacula

Oh, and Sprite, when you go to kiss him and he nearly knocks your teeth out, sort of shrugging/heading you away to see if 'anyone is looking' forgive him if you just get a headbutt in public and then a nice big hug at home. That's boys for you!

1:12 am

GreyWoulf

I will be crawling after you in a couple, luv

(*hug*)

1:13 am

sprite

LOL!
Well, I am sure I can handle that too... it's the intention that counts, right? I wouldn't want to embarrass a teen boy by kissing him in front of others.

1:13 am

sprite

Nite luv!

1:13 am

Jacula

Exactly, Sprite! LOL. We must indulge our males. LOL.

1:14 am

luvmypom

*yawn* -- nitey nite. *poof*

1:17 am

GreyWoulf

any better clue on the c8/9, sprite -- the brain is rapidly shutting down here...

1:17 am

sprite

Woulf: about those C-biggies: it seems they have little to do with money and more with prison.

1:18 am

sprite

Lol, that was at the same time, Woulf.
Guys you share your cell with in prison, I'd say. And singular.

1:19 am

sprite

I love A8/65, do you have that one yet? Not a fan of closing.

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks for those, sprite -- now I can go to bed knowing that I am over halfway there :)

Count is 156 and I have to get up for work in the AM so Good Night to all :)

(*Hugs for everyone*)
(((((*bonus hug for sprite*)))))

TTFN

1:24 am

sprite

*big goodnight hug for Woulf*
Pleasant dreams :)

1:29 am

sprite

I found an M7/32-8/45 combo, that becomes an M8/45-9/60 combo by inserting a vowel for alt. spelling. Think cape(s).

1:37 am

Griffums

Feast or famine it seems with this game. Guess I'd better knock out 100 before bed...

1:41 am

Jacula

127 words here, found.

1:42 am

sprite

Hi Griffs! Dig in, this is a lovely feast!
Though I hate K-words... did I mention I hate K-words?

1:43 am

Griffums

You *have* mentioned that you hate K-words. I'm glad there's something in this life one can count on.

1:44 am

sprite

49 left to find and probably ALL K-words, lol.

1:44 am

Griffums

Oh, so you've been here what, 20 minutes?

1:45 am

sprite

From the very start, more or less, and getting nowhere for about 15 minutes. Found one H-word that is a K-word, though. :D

1:46 am

Griffums

Well, tonight I'm regretting my backward-alpha approach because I think there are 411 t's...

1:47 am

sprite

That's exactly right!

1:58 am

Griffums

Oh, there I found your capes you were talking about, thanks sprite

1:58 am

speedfreak sam

Hello everybody quick go before school.

1:59 am

sprite

Hi Sam!

1:59 am

Griffums

hi sam, buncha words today

1:59 am

speedfreak sam

by the way i doubt it but do either of you have the 10???

2:00 am

Griffums

I don't but I'm sure sprite does...

2:00 am

sprite

The 10 still eludes me completely.

2:02 am

speedfreak sam

and elude means...

2:03 am

sprite

to avoid or escape by speed, cleverness, trickery, etc.; evade: to elude capture.
2. to escape the understanding, perception, or appreciation of: The answer eludes me.
LOL... or, in other words, don't know where the b@st@rd is hiding, can't be in MY grid!

2:03 am

Griffums

This is the kind of puzz where I'm glad I've been playing awhile and have learned so many words that are only necessary here!

2:04 am

sprite

So very true, Griffs! Wouldn't be possible to finish this grid otherwise. A lot of the usual suspects. I just found my ever eluding vulcano. :)

2:05 am

speedfreak sam

thanks sprite...
now calm down sprite it is on your grid, but first make sure your still breathing.

2:06 am

sprite

*breathes in*
*breathes out*
Sam, you're right, it's working! :D

2:08 am

speedfreak sam

works every time!
oh my god i just saw an eight to8/45!
if a place doesnt have a WC it gets to8/45
and if thats wrong don't blame me i saw it on the dictionary thing.

2:09 am

sprite

There are more biggies in that area, sam! Nice work!

2:10 am

Griffums

Yes, it's quite a potty grid this time.

2:11 am

mab

I completely overlooked that set of words!

2:11 am

mab

Does that mean I'm anal retentive?

2:11 am

sprite

Hi mab!

2:11 am

Griffums

tee hee

2:12 am

speedfreak sam

hi mab!!!

2:12 am

mab

Hi everyone. Thank you Sprite and Sam for all the great words.

2:13 am

sprite

Nah, of course not. Just not potty-trained.

2:13 am

mab

House trained though.

2:14 am

speedfreak sam

thanks mab and here is another shock...
I'M ONLY NINE!

2:14 am

smooth_turtle

oh sweet monkeys i just found the 10

2:15 am

sprite

We knew that, but it is great that you are already potty-trained so well that you found those biggies right away ;)

2:15 am

speedfreak sam

SMOOTH PLEASE GIVE ME A CLUE! PLEASE!!

2:15 am

sprite

turtle... please... I'll be forever in your depth if you can point me in the right direction for the 10 :)

2:16 am

Griffums

wow smooth!!!

2:16 am

mab

I know, sam, I know. What would we do without the perspective and sanity of a nine-year-old. A very clever one, of course.

2:16 am

sprite

Errrr... make that debt.

2:16 am

Griffums

today's nongridword for me is PANCAKES...

2:16 am

smooth_turtle

A natural white or colorless hydrated calcium borate

hooray for typing in random letters that don't make sense :)

2:17 am

speedfreak sam

smoth still there???

2:17 am

Jacula

145 words here now.

2:17 am

sprite

I am having a Dutch frustration day. No 'ecoline' and no 'cotelet', though they are there. But thanks for the pancakes. ;)

2:17 am

speedfreak sam

sorry make that smooth.

2:18 am

mab

Thank you smooth turtle! Thank you very kindly.

2:18 am

smooth_turtle

:)

2:18 am

sprite

How anyone can random type a 10 is beyond me :D
Great going, smooth, I'll go hunt that one down.

2:18 am

speedfreak sam

anyone got a different clue???

2:18 am

Jacula

Why do I keep seeing 1 min before puzzle closes? Is Dr_God cross with me for some reason?:-(

2:19 am

Ho Hum

c10 - Ole King c*** + short form for Mum + opp of day.

2:19 am

sprite

Nope, you are having trouble with the website, Jacula. I sometimes have the same thing. Refresh or force-refresh should cure the problem.

2:19 am

Griffums

Got it - thanks ho hum!

2:19 am

smooth_turtle

ok sam, try: a type of camping stove + ite

2:20 am

sprite

Yeah! Ho Hum, you're the best. :)

2:20 am

Ho Hum

glad to be able to help, it's usually the other way round!

2:21 am

speedfreak sam

bye everyone thanks smooth i can't get it but my dad will so i writ it on my hand.

2:21 am

sprite

Looked up the def for the 10 and saw you can make borax from it. Added to my list of absolutely useless but impressive-sounding facts :)

2:22 am

Griffums

Anybody want to guess the name of the guy who discovered it? :D

2:23 am

sprite

I think I know the name, isn't that used for a liquid fuel as well, that we use when camping out?

2:23 am

Griffums

Yep. And tents, and canoes and all manner of supplies. Also they seem to have a surplus of green paint.

2:24 am

sprite

Right, that's the one! :D
Did we win the washing machine or the toaster?

2:25 am

Griffums

Hmmm. Possibly the only two things they don't make. (or maybe they do!) :)

2:26 am

sprite

So... what's behind curtain 3?

2:26 am

Griffums

I wish the an 8 was behind curtain 3 because it's the only 8 that I ain't gotz yet.

2:27 am

sprite

Griffs: that is a great one. Clue: no fan of closing.

2:28 am

Griffums

closing..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

2:29 am

sprite

Or perhaps one could say it likes it open.

2:29 am

Atalante

290? *meeeep* is that making up for yesterday?

2:30 am

sprite

Hi Atalante! Yes it is, and it is nice! Lots of great words to find, you will love some of the biggies :)

2:31 am

Atalante

yay! we like nice words :)

2:32 am

mab

sam wrote the clue on his hand for later -- is that not precious?

2:33 am

sprite

He's sweet.

2:33 am

Griffums

Ayuh

2:33 am

sprite

Got all the Ks!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, had to yell, couldn't keep it in :)

2:33 am

mab

Very bright, yet still charmingly nine.

2:34 am

Griffums

Good for you! And I just got the an 8

2:34 am

sprite

WTG Griffs! Nice one, isn't it?

2:34 am

Eva

How can hitman not be a word?

2:35 am

sprite

Eva, we just don't know. Should be, but won't take. But there are several with that ending that are valid :)

2:36 am

Atalante

I hate words ending in -man, its so random which ones are accepted and which ones aren't

2:37 am

sprite

I agree. I just try everything and see what happens, it has nothing to do with knowledge. Some of them are old acquaintances, though.

2:37 am

Eva

I only have one other so far.

2:38 am

mab

I agree, atalante, I dislike en-, in-, un-, mis-, etc., for the same reason.

2:38 am

Eva

also wont take netman

2:38 am

Atalante

yes! the weirdest things you'd never imagine were words fit perfectly, and obvious words get declined!

2:39 am

sprite

I have a D, H, O, and Tx2 with that ending so far.

2:39 am

Griffums

it's the disable dictionary!

2:39 am

mab

Who can forget 'branniest.'

2:39 am

sprite

LOL!

2:39 am

Atalante

oooh nice M8

2:40 am

sprite

There are 4, Atalante, and all nice :)

2:40 am

Jacula

1555 words here now and listening to Frankie Laine singing 'Don't Fence Me In'. LOL. Actually put cd on to listen to 'High Noon'. LOL.

2:41 am

Jacula

*Meant 155 words here. Oops!

2:41 am

sprite

1555 words! Wow, you're absolutely fabulous :D

2:42 am

Jacula

Sprite - Ha, ha, very funny. I'm not quite Patsy, yet.

2:44 am

sprite

But close! ;)
*very softly whispers: done*
So if anyone needs a clue?

2:44 am

Jacula

No need to get dramatic, like the old Western songs, Sprite! LOL.

2:45 am

Griffums

We know you've been done for long minutes. No clues for me right now, still so many to find I have lots of other bunny trails to follow, and am almost to my 100-before-bed anyway.

2:45 am

licketySplitAUS

hello all! came home to a stinky dog smell... eeewwww.

2:45 am

Jacula

Well done, Sprite. Will join you in that some time later.x

2:46 am

licketySplitAUS

Sprite... you finished?

2:46 am

sprite

Argh, lickety... not nice!
This grid should be a consolation though :)

2:46 am

mab

Thanks Sprite for offering, I'm fine for now.

2:46 am

sprite

Just, lickety. Took me 2,5 hours at least.

2:47 am

Jacula

Frankie Laine's 'Mule Train' is now in my heaadphones, oh LOL. Get on with it all you Babblers! Lash, lash, lash!

2:47 am

Griffums

Which in human time is like 14 hours... :)))

2:47 am

sprite

Rawhide........!

2:47 am

licketySplitAUS

sprite gets *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

2:47 am

Atalante

I'm glad there's a fish in there :)

2:47 am

mab

Griff!

2:48 am

sprite

Thanks, lickety! :D
Atalante, what grid would it be without a fish?

2:48 am

Jacula

That, too, Sprite! ROFLOL.

2:48 am

Griffums

hee hee... Sprite, you were on holiday the day I finished 'fast' and someone said I was like Sprite. I said yeah, like Sprite in a coma maybe... :)))

2:49 am

Atalante

well exactly...! maybe there's even more than one! (but I've only found one very unlikely sounding one so far)

2:49 am

sprite

Lol Griffs... :P
I am just addicted longer than you are. You will surpass me soon.

2:49 am

licketySplitAUS

AAARRRGGG! Dog stink over.... taking... the .... room!!! Gotta... get.... out!!!!

2:50 am

Griffums

No way and that's fine. And I have reached my hunnerd and am going to bed. Will finish this tomorrow, after all what is work for?

2:50 am

sprite

Sleep well with sweet dreams, Griffs!

2:51 am

Griffums

Thanks. Goodnight everybody.

2:51 am

mab

Night Griff. Do sleep well.

2:52 am

sprite

Poor lickety. I'll fill up the tub and the soap, you get the dog.

2:52 am

Jacula

No Babble addictions can possibly be amitted to, welll, not in public.

If you are addicated, sign below, in complete confidedentiality (LOL)...:

1. My name is_____________ and I am a Babble addict. Please help/do not help me!

2:53 am

sprite

Some people tried to cure me, but I fought them off very valiantly :) Ywis!

2:53 am

Jacula

You can even * admit to or be *addicted!

2:54 am

Jacula

*confidentially

2:54 am

Atalante

oooo there *are* some nice 8s today!

2:55 am

sprite

I knew you would have a ball today, Atalante, this is a grid to your liking :) (Takes one to know one)

2:56 am

Atalante

yes! its lovely! and will probably take up half my day on and off :) but who cares ....

Jacula

Shurrup Atalante! Haven't found an 8 yet. LOL!

2:57 am

miametro

2:57 am

Jacula

Well, no, don't 'shurrup' - give a clue!

2:58 am

Atalante

lol I've only found 4 yet! but then are all nice ones :P

2:58 am

Jacula

Hiya Mia, Cornwallian!

2:59 am

sprite

I am off to do something (else) useful. Good luck hunting all of you! And for clues: there are quite a few in the log already.

2:59 am

Jacula

Atalante - saying they are nice is NOT a clue!

2:59 am

Atalante

bye Sprite!!

3:00 am

mab

Ciao, Sprite!

3:00 am

miametro

hi jacula :)

3:01 am

Atalante

Jac, have you ever been shopping in Tunbridge Wells? there's a clue for you!

3:02 am

Jacula

Tunbridge Wells? I've shopped a few places in Kent, but not there! Sorry.

3:03 am

licketySplitAUS

Good idea Sprite... dog in bath... here we go!!

3:03 am

Atalante

going shopping there is the only way in the world I knew two of the 8 words .... (they are basically the name of the main shopping area in T Wells!)

3:08 am

Jacula

No idea! Not a big shopper, in that way,:-(

3:10 am

Atalante

nor me ... my brother lives there though ... one of those lucky coincidences for the grid today!

3:10 am

Jacula

Nope, I don't shop like a footballer's wife/girlfriend. Oh well, never mind!

3:11 am

Jacula

signing out for now at 156 words found.x

3:11 am

Atalante

its a roofing tile with an s-shaped profile (7 letter) plus plural and past tense - there's a more realistic clue!

3:11 am

miametro

i've only found 54 words today and i'm really slowing down. haven't gotten any of the big ones!

3:14 am

miametro

wonderful clue, that boosted my score a little :)

3:17 am

Atalante

demat should be a word. I have to do that to my dog's fur every week!

3:17 am

licketySplitAUS

washed the dog... aaaahhhhh! and she smells beautiful now!!!

3:18 am

Atalante

hi licketysplit! am watching Aus on TV at the moment ... looks like a nice day in Perth ...

3:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Atalante... just washed the dog... a lovely 32 degrees c here and not getting any cooler!!! The dog loved the bath and the demat!!

3:23 am

Atalante

32C *dies* you lucky thing!! whereabouts in Aus are you?

3:25 am

licketySplitAUS

Sydney... nice and warm!!! (screaming child in the background!! kicked his toe! ooowwwww)

3:29 am

Atalante

sydney? cool! though is it a little stressful over there at the moment with "tension" on some of the beaches?

3:30 am

Jacula

Am going to play 3 songs here..

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

3:33 am

Jacula

Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway

For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey

For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind

Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day

I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring

3:35 am

licketySplitAUS

three people got arrested for making explosives at the beaches area that you are talking about... it is such a shame. This is such a peaceful place and things are out of hand because of 'terrorisms'

3:39 am

Atalante

*sigh* yeah ... its a shame this things extend out to such beautiful places

3:51 am

Atalante

ok, I give up for the time being. 113 to find. back later!!

4:11 am

Jacula

Cant'play last song of choice because it's too long. Nevr mind.

4:12 am

Jacula

Try listening to Stevie Wonder, way ahead of the rest of us in 1972...

"Big Brother"

Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the tele,
Seeing me go nowhere,
Your name is big brother,
You say that you're tired of me protesting,
Children dying everyday,
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook,
Writing it down everyday,
Your name is I'll see ya,
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
The President of your soul
I live in the ghetto,
You just come to visit me 'round election time

I live in the ghetto,
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side,
My name is secluded,
we live in a house the size of a matchbox,
Roaches live with us wall to wall,

You've killed all our leaders,
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall

4:20 am

Jacula

LOl, I can see you are all 'impressed'! Never mind. Happy Babbling!

4:23 am

Jacula

Not sure if music or words are my 'first love', or the words of music, Doesn't matter, they don't seem to mix on this site.:-(

4:28 am

Jacula

But, if Stevie Wonder's 'Talking Book' isn't one of THE perfect albums, then I'm a Dutchwoman! :-/

4:29 am

Yoink

I love Stevie Wonder :)

4:29 am

Jacula

Yoink! Thank the Lord! A fellow fan.

4:31 am

Yoink

Innervisions is my favourite, but Talking book is right up there, also Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs in the key of life

4:33 am

Jacula

'Superstition' was the first song that really got me hooked. But I love all the albums you've metioned. James Brown wasn't the Godfather of Soul! Stevie was and still is.

4:34 am

Jacula

And that's from a 'girl' who is still a 'rock chick' at heart!

4:34 am

Yoink

For me, it was Sir Duke and Higher Ground. I never really though James Brown should've been given that title, he was more funk than soul as far as I was concerned

4:37 am

Jacula

Yoink - have you seen that ad for a comedy DVD - can't remember who the comedian is now, but his Dad kept saying, 'Get down!' and he says, 'I thought my Dad was James Brown!' LOL.,

4:39 am

Yoink

No, I haven't seen that one, but a co-worker makes a "Uhhhnnn" sound when he clears his throat that really reminds me of James Brown, it amuses me

4:45 am

Jacula

LOL, Yoink.

4:46 am

Jacula

You expect him to say 'yah make me feel good!' after that?:-)))

4:47 am

Yoink

Hmm, I'd be somewhat worried if he said that to me

4:47 am

trishtrash

Hi all,
How many words today?

4:48 am

Yoink

Hi Trishtrash, 290 words today

4:49 am

lshult

Hi averyone.
Got 110 words no problem, but now each word is excruciating. Wish I hadn't started!!

4:49 am

trishtrash

Thanks Yoink :)
*wanders off, muttering*

4:52 am

Yoink

Hi Ishult, I'm on 139 here, slowing down but they are still showing themselves every so often. Constantly minimising and maximising to avoid detection doesn't make for fluent babbling though :/

4:58 am

Atalante

99 words to go. In pain.!!

5:01 am

miametro

still only found 65 words. i'm rubbish today!

5:01 am

Jacula

134 words to go, Atalante, but, somehow, I don't really mind.

5:03 am

lshult

120 down, need to walk away for 15 minutes or I'll throw something at the screen.
later

5:03 am

Yoink

Morning Atlante and Miametro :)

5:05 am

Jacula

OUCH! Need to turn the volume down from Stevie Wonder. Have got Doris Day's 'Deadwood Stage' in my headphones now, and, boy, is it LOUD! Good song for getting us all getting on with the grid though!:-)

5:05 am

crash-cool

anybody have a clue for the last ma 7/32

5:05 am

Atalante

Hi Yoink! I'm not here ... really ... I'm working - honest!

5:06 am

Yoink

Jacul, I've got a lovely bit of Tom Waits on right now.

Atlante, yeah me too! ;-)

5:08 am

rosalind230

add on ma6/21 there a 3 7/21

5:08 am

licketySplitAUS

That sickens me!

5:08 am

rosalind230

mean 7/32

5:08 am

trishtrash

crash-cool ... it's a portable bullet-proof shelter (!) but it sounds like a small version of your other ma7/32

5:09 am

Yoink

What sickens you Lickety?

5:09 am

licketySplitAUS

I know how to make the dollar sign - shift + 4

5:10 am

licketySplitAUS

my daughter is typing.... why are you typing everythin I say mummy!

5:14 am

miametro

morning yoink :)

5:15 am

licketySplitAUS

gotta love the 7 year old! "mummy... ha ha ha... my children sicken me Yoink....they are too cute!!

5:16 am

Jacula

An old friend just came around and pushed a card through the letterbox. It had such a lovely verse she'd printed out and put in with it, that I know we need to talk soon. Just like we used to do often once.

5:17 am

Yoink

It's good to talk

5:17 am

Jacula

Lickety - I'm very happy to say that neiher of my children ever sickened me, even when I was pregnant with them. Never got morning sickness, just all day-long heartburn! LOL. Nothing's changed!

5:18 am

Jacula

Got 159 words here now, btw.

5:20 am

miametro

any clues for the ap 8 and ap 9?

5:22 am

licketySplitAUS

Jac... it sickens me that the kids are growing up... it makes me cry every day! Everything that comes out of their mouth is so grown up!! I want time to freeze...

5:24 am

Yoink

Miametro, think greenfly for an ap5 then take off the last 2 letters of that and add an ni4/4

5:25 am

Yoink

Oops, add a vowel in the middle too...

The 9 is the plural

5:25 am

Jacula

Lickety - appreciate that it cannot last but enjoy it without bad feelings while you can!

5:25 am

trishtrash

Thanks Yoink, needed those too.

5:27 am

lshult

Lick, Jac, how old are your kids?
My boys are 6&9. sometomes I just want to ramthe little one up against the wall (of course I never have [yet!!]). It's a fine line between being good, loving parents and Child beaters.

5:28 am

Jacula

Ishult - Mine are 21 and 18, nearly 22 ansd 19! Step-daughter is about to turn 11 this week.

5:30 am

licketySplitAUS

Ishult - Mine are6 & 7. My youngest is a little bugger! but the 7 year old is the angel of the earth! I got the best (worst) of both worlds!

5:31 am

Jacula

I do wish I didn't keep getting distracted by our hunting cat sitting outside on the trailer and obviously thinking about entering house through the office window, and havoc he woud wreak if he did! I've just let him out. I know if I let him in he will want to go out again in a few minutes. I will not be his door person.

5:32 am

lshult

i've got a cat like that. he's got me well trained.

5:33 am

licketySplitAUS

my OH is sitting here, discussing the precious perils of mankind..... the youngest is nodding his head... and beating his sister up at the same time!!! (got to control myself!)

5:42 am

miametro

80 words. It's creeping up, slowly! I'm happy tho because I've managed to get myself on the cream of the crop ladder, albeit quite a long way down!

5:43 am

licketySplitAUS

lshult... you have boys?

5:47 am

Jacula

on 'phone to my Mum at the moment...

5:48 am

miametro

93 words :)

5:49 am

Yoink

I've passed the half-way point while ostensibly working, so I'm happy enough so far

6:03 am

miametro

102 words and i do believe it's time for lunch.fabulous. still 188 left to find tho!

6:05 am

Yoink

:( I still have 55 minutes until I can go for my lunch, but I'm hungry now!

6:06 am

Miyavi_fan

*offers Yoink some Dairy Milk*

6:08 am

lshult

Sorry Lick, wasn't ignoring you, just popped out to do some work. Yep, two little horrors of the male variety.

6:10 am

lshult

Had lunch some time ago, now munching on a cadcury's picnic, washed down with a pepsi max (Diet pepsi in England), something contadictory in that combo, but tastes good.

6:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Ishult, if it feels good, do it :D And hi, by the way

6:14 am

lshult

127 words down, been some time since a new one cropped up, sonn gonna be time to check out Brandyjack's stats.

6:14 am

Jacula

Lickety - I have one of each variety of my own, plus another of the female kind. Anything you want to know, just ask!

6:15 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Jac :)

6:15 am

Jacula

Ishult - we do have Pepsi Max here in UK and it's not the same as Diet Pepsi.

6:16 am

Yoink

Hi M_Fan :) And thanks for the chocolate!

6:17 am

Miyavi_fan

You're welcome! Only a half day of school today, so the rest of the day to try and defeat this monster :/

6:17 am

Jacula

Hiya Miyavi. Has you finished with school for Xmas yet? And has your bedroom door been rehung? Must have been a hell of a shock at 6am, it being blown off and all that! What's the air quality like there now? I have 2 friends in H/H I have yet to write letters in Xmas cards to, so I'd like to know what to say!

6:19 am

Miyavi_fan

Jac, it's all fine now, thanks...schools out at last, the air's clear, sun shining (ish), birds singing, etc, and bedroom door is back on!

6:20 am

Jacula

miya - glad it's all sorted.x

6:21 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Jac :) How's everything where you are?

6:23 am

Jacula

Dunno if I'll do the grid on my own today. I have 13 more letters to write to go in with Xmas cards, and Xmas cakes to ice and decorate, gingerbread house dough to make, mince pies to make, plus a menacingly large pile of ironing to tackle.:-(

6:24 am

Miyavi_fan

ouch :/

I have an immense pile of chocolate to eat through

6:24 am

Jacula

Aside from all that.,Miya, everything is hunkydory!

6:25 am

lshult

I miss Xmas. We just don't have it here. It's soo wierd!!

6:25 am

Yoink

Hooray, I made a letter go grey, ok it was only the O with 3 in, but still...

6:25 am

Jacula

Ishult - you have Channuka (*spelling) though?

6:26 am

lshult

Yoink- don't knock it, i've only got one of those o's, well done.

6:26 am

Jacula

Well done, Yoink! I haven't looked at the o's yet.

6:27 am

Miyavi_fan

lol! Come help me eat through my choccies :)

6:28 am

Miyavi_fan

*sighs* I keep expecting 'hana' to be a word, just 'cos it's Japanese for flower :/

6:28 am

lshult

Jacula- this is true, but it's not the same .
I miss having xmas shoved down my throat evertime i turn on the tele.

6:29 am

lshult

Miyavi- what flavours are left, if there's mazipan, it's mine!!

6:29 am

Jacula

Oh, Ishult, we'll do our best to make it up to you on here! HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

6:30 am

Miyavi_fan

*puts box in the middle of babbleverse and dives out of the way, fast*

6:31 am

lalobstah

did anyone else come here yesterday morning and see one puzzle and there was another one in the afternoon?

6:33 am

Babbler

no way....... 290 words??? is it a friendly grid at least?
(babble or book? babble or book? babble or book?)

hi all : )

6:34 am

Jacula

*Jac hides her marzipan antlers, reindeer face, nose, robin's body, feet, red breast etc. She's sticking them atop the Xmas cakes later! They can't be scoffed.'

6:34 am

Yoink

Hi Babs! (((x)))

The grid's not too bad, I've got past halfway without stats

6:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Babs! :)

6:35 am

lshult

I got to go finish some work and go home. back later

6:35 am

Babbler

Hi Yoink! ((x)) really? hmmm...... maybe.....

6:35 am

lshult

bye for now

6:35 am

Jacula

Lalob - there was only one puzzle. Are you sure you idn't get caught up after I posted the 38-worder from 12th May 2005?

6:35 am

Miyavi_fan

Later Ishult :)

6:36 am

Miyavi_fan

Babs, I feel bad today...unable to be the clue fairy :/

6:36 am

Babbler

Yoink!!! I was looking for something along the lines of your icon!! good choice!! *refresh* for mine.... : )

6:37 am

Babbler

maybe cos you exhausted your magical powers yesterday, Miya? It happens like that with Babble, after a demanding day, the next day you're wiped out. : /

6:37 am

Yoink

Heh, nice monkey Babs

6:37 am

Jacula

Miya - why feeling bad?

6:38 am

Babbler

the t-shirt on my icon reads: Monkey Owns Ya!
which is appropriate for Babble!

6:39 am

lalobstah

i don't know. all i know is that it was a diffrent one from about 7 am yesterday to lunchtime.

thanks for the possible explanation.

6:39 am

Miyavi_fan

heh...that's it then :)
Jac, yesterday I was so chuffed at completing my first ever babble, I went around giving loads of people clues! Now I'm back to being inferior again!

6:42 am

Babbler

Miya - go to the top of the screen and click on View Yesterday's Puzzle...... NOW! : )

6:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Babs, monkey owns ya? Would that be left over from Planet of the Apes?

6:42 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Babs!!!

6:44 am

Babbler

6:44 am

Miyavi_fan

6:46 am

Babbler

ahaaa.... it's a surprise..... ; )

6:47 am

Miyavi_fan

Ahhhh!!! But why me?! I'm way down the bottom usually!!! *jumping up and down*

6:48 am

Babbler

I don't know!!!! *jumps up and down also* !!!!!
what does it mean? I look everyday to see where I am!
:D

6:49 am

Yoink

*jumps up and down because everyone else is*

6:49 am

Miyavi_fan

*dancing around the room* I don't know why it's me there, though...I didn't finish quickest or anything.

6:49 am

Babbler

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeee!!!

:D:D:D:D

6:50 am

Miyavi_fan

(*^_^*) Thanks Babs, I wouldn't have noticed that!!!

6:50 am

Babbler

6:50 am

Babbler

*still jumping up and down*

you're welcome, my little sugar-pie!! :D

6:52 am

Miyavi_fan

I'm blissed out but confused!

6:53 am

EvaNadine

7:02 am

EvaNadine

heh

7:02 am

Jacula

I'm not even tryingfor sleep until about 9-10pm.

7:04 am

Jacula

Incidentally, since I'm a True Blue Tory, the tricky monkey in my icon is... well, you know who. Always thought he rsembled Roland Rat myself, but he appeared when I googled 'monkey'....

7:05 am

shorty

Uneaixoise

7:22 am

Jacula

To be honest, I don't give a ;'erm yea' about the rankings. I just love the game and the chat. Not saying I never look how I'm doing... but it's not the main theme.

7:23 am

Miyavi_fan

no, me either...I only noticed 'cos Babs told me! (((Babs)))

7:23 am

EvaNadine

i hear ya jacula!
when i first started playing, i worked my keister off to finish the puzzle every day...
now i rarely finish and im sure my rankings are poo...but i play for the fun.

7:23 am

Jacula

Oh dear! So few Torys on the net!:-(

7:24 am

Alien

good morning all...I'm happy this one is longer than yesterday's.

7:25 am

Miyavi_fan

I never play to win or complete, I'd get too depressed/disgusted with myself. That's why it was such a big kick to finish yesterday!

7:25 am

Miyavi_fan

Morning, Alien :)

7:28 am

baggo

morning all...

7:28 am

Jera

Hah! I just counted up to know my number ranking... yup, depressing... think I'll shoot for breaking into top 100 in the middle list... (we Cappys gotta have goals, ya know)

7:28 am

lshult

okay, i'm back for another bash!!

7:29 am

Jacula

Got 'The Darkness' playing in my headphones now, 'I Believe In a Thing Called Love' and whaddya know, my oH just texted me. He must be psychic!

I'll leave you lot listening to the song, whilst I see what he has to say and then answer...

7:30 am

7:32 am

EvaNadine

ahh, i didnt have the 6 spelled the way peri does.
:)

7:33 am

periwinkle

ishult, thanks found it with your clue.
evanadine, spelled with le ending means cape and not shelf which had me confused

7:34 am

EvaNadine

actually, for the shelf, you can spell it either way...

Miyavi_fan

7:37 am

Jacula

Got Motorhead in my headphones now so if you want to ask for even give me clues, you'll have to SHOUT!

7:37 am

Jera

I keep trying to spell delete & detain... still not there...

7:38 am

marigold

peri are you coming with me. is so can you make it by 9:30

7:38 am

Jacula

*Note to self. Must NOT let love of music muck up Babble chat log!

7:39 am

efor1124

the only thing i know by Motorhead is Triple H's entrace for WWE... works for babble, too!
"It's all about the game and how you play it!"

:)

7:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Jac, go ahead! My love of j-rock is constantly making unwanted appearances. Talk about it as much as you want!

7:43 am

Jacula

If anyone can thank God for still being alive now, aside from my mate Ozzie (from Black Sabbath), then it's Lemmy from Motorhead. Even he, like Oz., has no idea how he is still alive. But alive they both still are, God willing, and still rocking! Head bang along, folks.

7:45 am

Miyavi_fan

I can't right now, Jac, I'm singing along with Hide...not alive but the next best thing :/

7:46 am

Jacula

Lemmy's band will give you no respite, but if you calm down a bit you might just find time to listen to Black Sabbath's 'Laguna Sunrise'.

7:46 am

miametro

any clues for the 9's and 10?

7:47 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, have now switched songs...*doing mad air guitar to Dir en Grey's 'Berry'*

7:50 am

EvaNadine

i think i may have sputtered out at with 139 left to go...heh

7:53 am

Jacula

If you can't get the clues from my rock bands, then it's time for me to go!

7:55 am

Jera

I had to go to bj's list about then evanadine... no shame...

7:56 am

EvaNadine

dunno that i have the ability to concentrate that much yet...hehe

7:56 am

Jacula

Also, i MUST JUST ASK, do I have to have this person as my icon for more than 24 hours, or even that long? Oh, don't make me, please!!

7:57 am

EvaNadine

jacula...you can change it whenever you want silly!

7:58 am

Miyavi_fan

Of course you can change! My Miyavi icon isn't exactly in accordance with the theme, I guess, but he's nice and Christmassy :)

7:59 am

Miyavi_fan

*looks out of window* YOU LIE!!!

8:08 am

Jacula

I know I can change icons whenever I want, but it's a monkey theme today, is it not?

8:09 am

EvaNadine

well,you could change it to another monkey icon or just disregard the theme..heh

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

please change . . . it's painful for the rest of us as well . . . just don't change it to his pal!! :-)

8:09 am

lemur

8:09 am

Jacula

Miya - Baggo's in Indianapolis, USA!

8:10 am

Jacula

Une - I won't ber a Bush either thenm lol. Will go look for a better icon for the day.

8:11 am

baggo

miyavi...it really is...which kinda makes me sad, i have a friend who's husband they just brought hospice in for and he just wants one last big snowfall...

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

i'm staying with a neutral pic! too early for major indigestion!

8:12 am

Miyavi_fan

Jac, that's no excuse :)

Oh, Baggo, I'm sorry...my best wishes :(

8:13 am

baggo

its really kinda beautiful, (and sad too) but he is having time with everyone, saying goodbye, sharing memories.. no regrets... ;-)

8:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh, Baggo...I would be crying, if the song I'm listening to would permit it. Luckily Pink Cherry is playing...I have to smile

8:16 am

baggo

keep smiling. I don't fear death. ;-)

8:17 am

gramma

Hello all. I'm back from the edge of death. Fever, vertigo, and nonstop sleep. What an experience that was. I was sick 6 weeks w/stupid cold..finally, diagnosed w/bronchitis...I get over that and come down w/this. Merry Frickin' Christmas!

8:18 am

baggo

gramma nice to see you back.. and better??

8:19 am

Miyavi_fan

Baggo, that's so admirable...I try not to either, I'm helped by a favourite Dir en Grey song, "Ain't Afraid to Die"!

8:19 am

hurshy

well, a far cry from yesterday, eh folks?

8:19 am

gramma

Thanks, Baggo. I'm about ready for a nap. Not going to accomplish much today.

8:20 am

hurshy

oh my, should have read some posts before i came barging in. i would have been quieter. sympathies to the suffering...

8:20 am

Jacula

Right, can I just be me now fr rest of puzzle? A, sick of themed days!

8:22 am

baggo

hurshy, no problem on my account. jacula honey be whatever you want to be... we're all fine if you're just you...

8:24 am

Jacula

Babbler - please take note that there is a small rebellion here, re. 'themes'. Some of us just want to be what we are!

8:24 am

hurshy

though i have become a fan of theme days and now enjoy them, i fully support the right of any babbler to be a non-participant in theme days! let your uniqueness shine through!

8:24 am

Miyavi_fan

I think as far as themes are concerned, people are gonna have to be lenient with me because, just simply: my icons are always going to be j-rockers...I'm sorry :)

8:25 am

baggo

p's done...okay if you want the pa7/32, 8/50 and 8/45 think of trousers plus the floor of your bathroom what those things are called, little squares, (but no double letter in the middle)

8:26 am

Miyavi_fan

Woo...thanks Baggo! Clue fairy!

8:26 am

gramma

Ty, Baggo.

8:26 am

baggo

i like to change my icon. but would never think less of anyone who didn't want to ... some days it does get confusing cause i'm not sure who i'm talking to for a bit, but i get over it...lol

8:27 am

Miyavi_fan

Great :) I'm listening to "Ain't Afraid to Die" right now...you inspired me, Baggo :)

8:28 am

baggo

well i'm glad miyavi... 8-)

8:29 am

Jacula

I may be overtaken by the Xmas bug, but otherwise, I just want to be myself!

8:29 am

Miyavi_fan

the lyrics are so beautiful, though...(translated) "the road we walked back then is gone,
but I still walk along it anyway.

The snow falls quietly on the gentle slope,
now I place your favourite flower in your room,
Even though I know it will never reach you..."

8:29 am

Miyavi_fan

:')

8:30 am

Miyavi_fan

"please, please, don't cry anymore...

...you know I'll always be with you, even from here..."

8:31 am

evanonut

hey hey hey!

8:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Eva! Bit of weeping going on here :/

8:32 am

Jacula

Myavi - pleaae don't lose sleep over someone!

8:32 am

evanonut

oh dear.

8:33 am

Jacula

sORRY, Eva, didn't mean you personally.

8:33 am

evanonut

glad i'm not the cause.

8:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Jac, don't worry! I end up losing sleep over Dir en Grey anyway...I think the poster of Kyo in a straitjacket on my ceiling may contribute towards that :D
Eva, don't worry...happy tears :)

8:34 am

evanonut

thas good then

8:34 am

Miyavi_fan

No, Eva, just sad songs :)

8:35 am

Jacula

I was talking generally, Don' want the next generation, or even 2nd to us generation, to lose sleep unneccessarily!

8:35 am

evanonut

sleep loss is a part of life. you just trudge on through it.

8:38 am

Jacula

Miya - teenaged angst has its place in all of our lives, and I guess we must all go through it... However, if us silly, middle-aged lot can abbreviate the way for you, then you must let us...!

8:38 am

evanonut

angst - now that is a lovely word.

8:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, don't worry...I'm generally happy. Just have the odd moment when listening to songs like Ain't Afraid to Die! Thanks for your concern, though :)

8:41 am

hurshy

argh! there's so many cool words that are ALMOST in here....

8:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah yes...angst is a gorgey word :) Angsty as well :)

8:42 am

hurshy

8:43 am

baggo

that's a good one hurshy

8:43 am

evanonut

don't worry hurshy, you are emphatic

8:44 am

Miyavi_fan

lol, I entered 'emphatik' out of sheer desperation :/

8:44 am

hurshy

8:44 am

evanonut

hurshy

8:47 am

lottijw

Oh brilliant....full of bounce now are you??

8:47 am

Bugzy

8:48 am

evanonut

well then you own that word baggo - make one up for posterity.

8:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Pantlets are what you get when you live girl pants and boy pants alone together

8:48 am

baggo

and let me tell ya in only 2 weeks i already have seen some crazy things...and i'm totally amazed at the reasons people come to the er, no wonder healthcare costs so much. one lady came cause her dr off didn't open until 8, hello they have people on call...education that is my main goal...lol

8:48 am

evanonut

lol miyavi

8:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Eva, would that be 'make one up for posterity' or 'make one up for your posterior' lol :D

8:49 am

8:50 am

baggo

8:51 am

evanonut

work? i meant bowl - sorry.

8:52 am

Bugzy

See ya Lotti!
baggo - I changed jobs last year at about this time (not by choice - got downsized) and it was one of the best things that could have happened to me. The new job is so much more challenging and rewarding.

8:52 am

baggo

i forgot to add that her doc sent her in to us...

8:53 am

lottijw

(((Baggo))) I think Tor will be glad to see you too !!! Take care, may see you in a while ! xx

8:53 am

baggo

8:53 am

evanonut

baggo

8:55 am

Jacula

OMG, Bugzy - you're not about to show the President your butt, are you?

8:56 am

Bugzy

No Jac, but how about a game of ping-pong? LOL

8:56 am

evanonut

for shame miyavi - hanks is a great actor.

8:57 am

Miyavi_fan

Maybe, but I can think of people I'd prefer *evil grin*

8:57 am

Bugzy

Have to say I didn't really like that movie much either but I do like the line :)
But I did like Tom Hanks in Big.

8:58 am

Jacula

So great even I, the great idler, is running round the block for him.

8:58 am

baggo

sleepless in seattle

8:58 am

evanonut

8:58 am

Bugzy

Run, Jacula, Run!!!

8:59 am

evanonut

9:00 am

Bugzy

And let's not forget the small screen: Bosom Buddies! Loved that show!

9:01 am

Miyavi_fan

I don't know, personally I prefer the oresama movie :D

...Now if only I could understand it...

9:01 am

DarleenMB

meg ryan ... that was when harry met sally ... no tom hanks.

how about You've Got Mail?

9:01 am

Bugzy

Bye evanonut!

9:02 am

DarleenMB

Bosom Buddies .. you just KNEW Hanks was gonna be, pardon me, BIG

9:02 am

Jacula

Given the great chap I've got now, I never have to fake 'em. Never did anyway - which is prob. wy I ended up divorced! But Meg Rya did not get it wrong in that scene.

9:03 am

Bugzy

"I'll have what she's having" -- great line!!

9:03 am

Jacula

Probably the pne of the best lines of the century!

9:04 am

Miyavi_fan

*comes around to the slow realization of what everyone else is talking about*

*backing slowly away*

9:04 am

DarleenMB

That was the director's Mom... Rob what's his name... too early can't think

9:04 am

Bugzy

Yep, Rob Reiner. Meathead.

9:05 am

DarleenMB

THANK you!

9:05 am

baggo

reiner

9:06 am

baggo

bye evan didn't see you leave...

9:06 am

Jacula

And we somehow come back to that Robin Williams film, 'I hour Photo'. tHAT WAS SERIOUSLY scary.

9:07 am

DarleenMB

hm. haven't seen it but when Robin Williams is dark and serious, he can be plenty scary.

9:08 am

baggo

i haven't seen it either darleen but i feel the same way.

9:08 am

Miyavi_fan

Speaking of scary, what about The Ring?

9:08 am

Jacula

Darleen - if you haven't seen 'I hour Photo' yet, then I recommend you do so.

9:09 am

DarleenMB

Jac ... will put it on the netflix list then. t/y

9:11 am

Jacula

Darleen - do so! You willl not be disapppointed.

9:14 am

Jacula

MIya - not seen The Ring yet, but daughter has, and found it disappointing.

9:14 am

miametro

any clues for the 10?

9:14 am

harpjane

TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY? Better get started....

9:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Disappointing? It scarred me!!

9:16 am

baggo

hiya mia...didn't mean to miss ya too...

9:17 am

harpjane

My first word was a 6 letter potty word. Is that how the whole puzzle goes?

9:17 am

Jera

I'm back from taking Gwyd to preschool... the Sprite got herself on the bus fine without me... but she left the front door standing wide open, LOL

Fortunately, I was close enough to home to actually see her getting on the bus... so my home wasn't exposed too long... kids are funny

9:17 am

Jacula

Go ino your clues playing 'Back Night' by Deep Purple. iT MAY HELP, LOL.

9:19 am

baggo

co10/84

nat king "co.." + opposite of pa + alt spelling of opposite of day (ni4/4)

9:19 am

Bugzy

Remember to "French-ify" the potty word, plus plurals and past tenses, for some 8s and 9s!
Hi Jera :)

9:21 am

EvaNadine

baggo...."opposite of pa" ?

9:22 am

Bugzy

Thanks baggo! Funny that it won't accept the word without the last 3 letters though...

9:22 am

harpjane

I'm with you, baggo! I'm trying to figure out the oposite of pennsylvania!

9:23 am

baggo

think grand"pa" sorry....

9:23 am

baggo

its the indiana hillbilly in me....lol

9:23 am

Bugzy

The word also sounds like a devotee of a certain brand of camping equipment :)

9:24 am

rosalind230

Thanks Baggo great clue

9:24 am

EvaNadine

oh...heh...i got it now...missed the point the "co.." was also referring to the next 2 letters...then the "pa" reference...hehe...

9:24 am

Bugzy

It's also what they called the followers of our long-time Detroit mayor, Co***** Young :)

9:25 am

EvaNadine

bugzy -- is your icon a picture of those scary quizzno's freaky things?!

9:26 am

Bugzy

Yeah, evanadine, the Sponge Monkeys. They cracked me up!!

9:27 am

EvaNadine

heh, they gave me nightmares!

9:27 am

Jacula

oH, SORRY, ' Can't Get Enough of Your Loving by Bad Company , followed very shortly by Back Street Luv by Curved Air...

9:30 am

DarleenMB

thanks for the c/10 clue. Got it! Now to go see what it means.

9:30 am

Jacula

I make no apologies whatsover for my 70 bands here!

9:31 am

DarleenMB

ah. a principal source of borax. figured it must be some sorta rock.

9:32 am

harpjane

That's really what they called the mayor of Detroit?

9:32 am

Bugzy

Jacula - Bad Company was one of the first concerts I saw.... think they were with Foreigner ...
Obviously, I dig 70s bands too :)

9:33 am

harpjane

Best movie of all time: Nashville. (I am an expert. I was a movie theater projectionist for 20 years!)

Runners up: The Loved One, Dr. Strangelove, the first Willie Wonka.

9:34 am

DarleenMB

Well Harp, gotta disagree. Best movie of all time was the original Star Wars. to each her own :-)

9:34 am

Bugzy

The mayor's name was Co***** A. Young. (The first 7 letters of the 10 letter word.) They called his cronies/followers Co10/84's. He was mayor for something like 30 years here...

9:35 am

DarleenMB

Oh and I did movie reviews for the radio for the local theater for 14 years. Guess that makes me some sort expert (unknown drip).

9:36 am

Miyavi_fan

Each to her own indeedy...

Top movie of all time: Oresama

9:37 am

EvaNadine

i think its about time to change monkey-outfits...got a few more lying in wait.
;)

9:37 am

Jacula

Bugzy - Yes, they would have been with Foreigner.

9:37 am

LeslieAnn

evandine perhaps you have a barrel of monkeys?

9:37 am

EvaNadine

BEHOLD!!
monkey-outfit #2!!

9:40 am

Jacula

But don't be surprised if Foreigner, come up with your words of the decade.

9:41 am

harpjane

The original Star Wars is right up there. Definitely in my top ten.

Haven't seen Oresama. Maybe I'd better educate myself!

Any body like Derzu Usala? That was a good one.
Oh, and Harold & Maude! Definitely a sleeper.

9:42 am

harpjane

Although, I must admit that Star Wars did not pass the "movie projectionist who still likes it after 8 months, 3 times a day" test. Some of the others did pass that test.

9:43 am

EvaNadine

leslieann -- only just saw your message...
none yet, but im a-lookin now!
hehe

9:43 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, don't worry about Oresama...it isn't subtitled anyhow. I probably only dote so much on it because the main character is played by Miyavi...:D

9:43 am

LeslieAnn

harpjane, you must know a ton of movie trivia, i bet you always win at trivial pursuit :)

9:45 am

EvaNadine

barrel of monkeys it is!!
:D

9:45 am

Jera

Gotta take a break with 99 to go... see you all in a bit after I've warmed up!

There may just be an extra-special pressie in it if you can...

12:34 pm

Miyavi_fan

Smaller, I pretty often use Kyo and other members of Dir en Grey...I'm far from a one-obsession girl! Currently I'm limiting it to all of DeG, MYV, Hide (dead), and the rest of X Japan. :D

12:35 pm

efor1124

ty baggo. never seeen na6 spelled like that when it wasn't plural.

12:36 pm

thanks baggo!

miya, does "dir en grey" translate to something english or is it just its name?

12:36 pm

baggo

to 8/45 to have gone potty

to8/40 and 9/54 french potty

there are lots of other words around these three

12:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Smaller, it does translate, but the translation is weird :/ 'Dir' is German for 'you', 'en' is French for 'in' and 'Grey' is just...grey. So Dir en Grey means 'you in grey'

12:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

...and, because you've got me started, the name 'Miyavi' means 'elegant'...

Hi Schroeder and Jessie :)

I wish moniker, or at least it's alternate spelling wasn't a name, it just puts me in mind of Courtney Cox

5:15 pm

may I have clues for the ap8 and ap9 and en8

5:15 pm

smaller

oops. got caught babbling at work.
...um hi jessie!
oh and moniker moniker

5:16 pm

Haz1558

For the en 8 add a word - to 6/21 meaning worked hard

5:17 pm

periwinkle

Haz, thanks so much. Now I remember that the en8 was in a recent grid :)

5:18 pm

Haz1558

The first part of the ap 8 uses the first three letters of the proper term for greenfly. To this add one period of time, the opposite of day.

5:18 pm

hurshy

ap8 - add a short laught, then ni4

5:19 pm

smaller

jessie-
been thinking and babbling is actually studying for me too cuz need study people interactions for being a better salesperson. ergo, VERY work related.
does that fly with Mr. BMP?

5:19 pm

Haz1558

Pluralise for the ap 9.

5:20 pm

periwinkle

Haz, thanks again, found the a8 and a9, now to look up the definition(s)

Haz, may I have a clue for the am5 please

5:24 pm

Haz1558

Thanks, hurshy - got them now.

5:24 pm

hurshy

the 7 is the same first 4 as the 5, then change the vowel, then add french "and" backwards

5:24 pm

smaller

Lol schroeder!!!

i seriously think I've just developed OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) with moniker.

5:25 pm

hurshy

ma 9 is pl of prev ma8, which is preceding ma6 + allow

5:25 pm

Jessie1

smaller, you are pretty good at justifying babbling. KristinaRose333 is just as good.

5:25 pm

Haz1558

The am 5 is almost like the womb fluid but with a different vowel ending.

5:25 pm

hurshy

oh, that may have been misleading. you don't double that consonant for the ma word.

5:26 pm

hurshy

what's the big deal about "moniker"?

5:26 pm

smaller

jessie,
you can just pucker up and kiss my lily white....moniker.

I don't kiss monkeys.

5:28 pm

that's not what I heard

5:30 pm

Yoink

Li5/10 anyone? I'm sure I'm being stupid not seeing it but...

Yoink

5:31 pm

Yoink

*accepts his first fish solemnly and slaps himself upside the head*

5:55 pm

smaller

Jessie,
isn't that inherently self-centered? Yes, "you" are right there sometimes. But unless you're me, you're actually not right there. Because I'm already right there. And you're not me. Because I'm me. and right now, I'm right there. So if I'm occupying right there, you can't be. So right now you're wrong.

5:55 pm

cybernan

DE 5/12 and de 6/24 before and after de6 = discover?

Thats okay it gives me something to look forward to when I finally get home! Traffic here should be bad also, they say we may finally get snow on Sunday so the tourist will be heading up the mountain.

10:50 pm

DarleenMB

well this just bites. have to vent, guys. Got home tonight from a christmas party to discover someone commandeered one of my credit cards and charged almost $300 to it. I cannot figure out, for the life of me, how they did it cause we live in good ol' middle-of-nowhere Wyoming and I hardly ever use this particular card. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

10:51 pm

artlady

Darleen, have you charged anything online recently?

10:51 pm

DarleenMB

artlady, not with this card. That's what has me so bothered about this.

10:52 pm

mab

Thanks mucho Ren, Griffs.

Darleen, that's terrible.

10:52 pm

DarleenMB

Mab, my credit card company is already taking steps to remove the charge, they've canceled this account and are sending me a new card. But I'm worried about all the other cards. I'm calling those banks tomorrow to let them know.

10:54 pm

Charm

Hello, everyone! Just returned from a week in Orlando - pooped like a 3 yo! Need two words, please. The HA5/12 and HA6/21 after the final ha7/32. Thanks.

10:54 pm

DarleenMB

charm, you lucky ducky. Were you at DisneyWorld???

10:55 pm

artlady

Good move, Darleen. You can hope only one number is suspect, but it's best to be safe. We had someone try to run our number once, but the credit card company caught it.

10:56 pm

Charm

We did SeaWorld, Universal Studios & the Magic Kingdom part of Disney. Next time, it'll just be the disney parks. Darlene - sorry about the card. yikes. That's everyone's nightmare....

10:57 pm

DarleenMB

artlady, well, yeah, but I'm just ... FLOORED that this has happend to me.

About 2 weeks ago I received an email supposedly from an ebay member asking me a question. Without thinking (and I do emphasize that) I clicked on the link in the email. I worry now that (even though I have a Mac) I may have some sort of spyware on my computer. Highly unlikely but you never know.

10:57 pm

Charm

Our credit card company put a fraud alert on our card because we were charging so much, and so far from home. We had to call them and confirm it really was us using the card!

10:58 pm

artlady

Darleen, which part of Wyoming do you call home?

11:01 pm

Charm

Thanks, folks. Just staring at the grid while chatting helped! It was that stupid hawaiian (apologies to hawaiians out there) derogatory word for white person (from my first grid ever). You'd think I'd never forget it....

11:02 pm

Griffums

Put them words on my tombstone: "You have 0 words left to find"

Way to go, griffums!
Gotta go turn off the christmas lights....
