Angelsong

Missy...I did refresh; didn't help. my word list is still here.
2:38 am
MissyMe

Angel but you can't type in a word? When that happens to me I have to close my browser and start everything again
2:40 am
Angelsong

missy..no, that isn't the problem. for example, one of the g's in the grid has a single word it begins with, another has 12. if I use the wrong g to begin a certain word and should have used the other, I've blocked myself, have I not?
2:42 am
MissyMe

Angel that is a mess!
2:43 am
Hugabugs

monc - ec5/12 - brilliance, (based on the French word for lightening)
2:43 am
Angelsong

so, no point in working on this particular grid. *sigh*...
2:44 am
MissyMe

it shouldn't block you just because you used the wrong one...you'll be "blocked" so to speak until you find a word the grid will accept...in the meantime...it's recognizing every word you use, whether its the right one or not
2:44 am
mab

excuse me for popping in and out so often, but it matters not which g you begin the word with. The grid is simply a record of the first occurence of words.
2:44 am
Hugabugs

Angel... I don't understand... how does the game know which letter you have started from?
2:45 am
Angelsong

ok. so I'm not going to give up yet!
2:48 am
Angelsong

to explain, Hugabug, I'd have to put some of the words in my response. I don't know if that's ok or not...
2:50 am
Hugabugs

The grid doesn't know which letter you are starting from... it selects it from the first letter that it's possible to make that specific word from... the grid can't tell how you see it, only if it is a word that's acceptable.
2:51 am
mab

Angel, the grid does not control anything; it's just a record or the first ocurrence of words. If you use a different g than the one listed in the grid, the grid will record that it's g has been used, but in the end it doesn't matter at all. Does that make any sense?
2:53 am
Angelsong

sure it does, and it helps a lot, thanks Mab

Wooki has eaten through the toe of my wellies. Wiggi still has wind and still insists my lap is *the* place to be. Sam has been caught out peeing up my ficus (cos its dying and stinks), Phoenix has brought in a hibernating toad and is frothing at the mouth. Blods is dancing round the garden and WONT be caught. So Ive put on the kennel heater and left her out there - she will start to howl when she has had enough.....

Oh doxy - they're GREAT!!!! As much as I love my own 2 - the grandchildren are a joy & NOT because you can give them back! I think it's because you can be much more laid back with the grandchildren, the pressure is off and there's more time for fun.

1:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

OK Ren - got to go but this is for you:
Mummers tradition dates back to 400 BC and the Roman Festival of Saturnalias where Latin laborers marched in masks throughout the day of satire and gift exchange. This included Celtic variations of "trick-or-treat" and Druidic noise-making to drive away demons for the new year. Reports of rowdy groups "parading" on New Years day in Philadelphia date back before the revolution. Prizes were offered by merchants in the late 1800's. January 1, 1901 was the first "official" parade.

It felt like some wonderful and mysterious omen.

This is only the second time we've seen the owl....since s/he is nocturnal, dusk is the only time we can get a glimpse. S/he is very interested in the birdfeeder - not to eat from it, but to eat those who are eating from it. But they are all gone buy the time the owl begins hunting. The red squirrels have built tunnels through the snow so that they can pop up and get right to the seed, without being exposed for too long.
5:13 pm

thanks, moncrunchr : )

Eva - it probably was an omen. Have you looked it up?

5:22 pm
Eva

The Romans apaprently believed owls were harbingers of doom and death. The Greeks believed they were omens of impending victory in battle. Very powerful symbols, whatever the culture. For me the message was of wonder, the wisdom in stillness, the ability to wait, to act only when the moment is right.
5:24 pm
Babbler

then that's probably what the message was, Eva. : )
5:24 pm
Eva

well the squirrels would probably do beter at this puzzle than I am - 67 words left to find and at that point where I simply can't believe that there are any more and if there are, they are utterly beyond my ken. Maybe if I became owlike and crunched on a few squirrel brains I'd be doing better?

i need help with UN 6/33 please
8:37 pm
boatierra

Damn, one letter away from being able to spell 'tmesis'.
8:37 pm
mamabear

doesn't feel so close, mab!
8:38 pm
LeslieAnn

boa, if something's great you might say it's terr**** - put that ending on the un
8:38 pm
LeslieAnn

whoops, i meant for moncrunchr. was still giggling over boa's post.
8:39 pm
mab

Thanks LeslieAnn -- would not have gotten that word.
8:40 pm
moncrunchr

got the UN from that clue Leslie....thanks! Eight more to go!
8:42 pm
aknitter

i am too thick tonight, i can not figure out the un 10 even with the clue. is there another, perhaps one at the first grade level for those of us who are not too swift?
8:42 pm
Blaze

thanks LA
8:43 pm
LeslieAnn

first three letters same as ***cycle + a baby horse - a, + third vowel + what you did with your dinner
8:44 pm
Blaze

un 10 un* (together) (aluminum) (after dinner you have )
8:46 pm
GreyWoulf

hi again everyone -- I had to disappear due to putting baby to bed -- sorry :)
8:47 pm
Blaze

how are you GW how is the mama....
8:47 pm
aknitter

grrrr i can't get it i am toooooo dumb to see it
8:48 pm
GreyWoulf

And now that she is properly bathed, booked and bedded, I can properly greet everyone

(*HUGS to all*)

8:48 pm
mamabear

*hugs back gw*
8:48 pm
Blaze

knitter the def: is : Having a single leaf.
8:48 pm
GreyWoulf

Blaze -- the mama is doing well -- very tired and frustrated at her low energy levels, but otherwise well -- thanks for asking :)
8:49 pm
Blaze

I am I correct in remembering she only has less than 6 weeks to go...???
8:49 pm
aknitter

oh blaze ty ty ty, i was going the wrong way ... after dinner i have tea !!!!!AH please hit me with a big fish
8:49 pm
moncrunchr

UGH. I am missing one of the UN5/12 words. I have 'not illuminated', and the one before it with the last vowel changed, and the one meaning 'to join'.... what am i missing?
8:50 pm
GreyWoulf

of course, now I have gone from having a baby in my lap to having a cat there -- makes typing tricky as she has a paw on my hand while I type :D
8:51 pm
aknitter

these un words are most unpleasant
8:51 pm
mamabear

mon - when you make dinner, you *** the table... when you are through, you un*** it.
8:52 pm
Blaze

thank you mama\
8:52 pm
GreyWoulf

Yes you are, Blaze -- Feb 3rd is the big day -- that should be 'interesting' to say the least -- we're not sure how baby is going to respond to us taking mama to the hospital and then go home without her :)
8:53 pm
Blaze

a good plan is to have the mama take longer times away if possible.....with you or a great person in her care...
8:54 pm
mamabear

GW - will you be able to take some time off work when the baby is born?
8:55 pm
GreyWoulf

Unfortunately, not a viable option, Blaze -- but Kristianna responds well to changes in her routine so long as Daddy is around so it should be OK -- getting her to sleep that night will be the trickiest part, but if I let her stay up a bit later it should all be good :)
8:55 pm
Blaze

ah my u's are in the grey .....
8:56 pm
Blaze

GW another good trick is have her cuddle with the mama's housecoat and talk lots to her about when mama is coming home.....
8:56 pm
GreyWoulf

Wow! lots of long posts here -- sorry to all other players :)

Mama -- I am taking a week off from work -- hopefully that will be enough -- I can take some more if I need to, but money will get veeeerrry tight if I do :)
8:57 pm
GreyWoulf

Thanks for that advice, Blaze -- I will write that one down!
8:58 pm
Blaze

gw... will you be able to get paternity benefits... in Canada the unemployment system works that out..
8:59 pm
SueL

Can someone give me a clue for fo 7 40 and fo 8 55.
please.............
8:59 pm
GreyWoulf

I could, Blaze but it counts as short term disability which is only around 60% of salary which would not let me meet my financial obligations -- Grandma is going to be around to help out so it should be OK
9:00 pm
lilspotteddog

how many words today?
9:00 pm
mamabear

199
9:00 pm
SueL

199
9:00 pm
GreyWoulf

SueL -- when you use a deep skin cleanser you will exfo7 the skin
9:01 pm
LeslieAnn

oh gw that's the best clue i've seen all day for that one
9:01 pm
Blaze

seul think trees and leaves and plural ending is when you are NOT on time
9:01 pm
GreyWoulf

Let's see -- 100 to go, time to focus on finding some words ;)
9:02 pm
GreyWoulf

Thanks, Leslie -- btw -- I've lost track -- was it you who loves Kenya (the animation)?
9:02 pm
mamabear

I think I'm going to give it up - have 63 to go but am so tired. This virus thing has really got me down. And tomorrow is my birthday - whoopee
9:03 pm
LeslieAnn

that would be me, thanks to you i found the badgers invade kenya :)
9:03 pm

9:04 pm

9:04 pm
GreyWoulf

Leslie -- have you seen the Kenya Live at weebls? Some fans decided to act out the flash as best they could -- They did a good job!!
9:04 pm
SueL

still can't find the fo 7 40 and the 8 55. I think I need
the fish.
9:04 pm
mab

Take care, MamaBear and have a nice rest.
9:05 pm
Blaze

suel DEF: Having a specified kind or number of leaves:
9:05 pm
LeslieAnn

suel, take your fo 4/7 (aluminum fo**) and switch the last two letters. then add what you did with your dinner (that was the best meal i ever ***!)
9:06 pm
GreyWoulf

Mama - Rest and Fluids are the key to beating this virus -- so sleep well knowing that we all care for you and drink lots of juice and/or water :)

(*HUG*)
9:06 pm

9:08 pm

9:11 pm
moncrunchr

ty ty ty all..... (don't worry Leslie, my self esteem is fine.... at least NOW it is.... LOL)..... anyone need any clues before I go off to play online Spades? hehehe
9:12 pm
moncrunchr

(at least THERE a 'game' only takes 20 minutes instead of 10 hours.... but then, I'm still new to this one)
9:15 pm
LeslieAnn

it does get easier, mon, especially when you start remembering the odd "Babble words" and don't have to look them up each time
9:17 pm
GreyWoulf

It gets even easier than that, mon, when you stop worrying about finishing and just give your self over to the joy that is Babble ;D
9:18 pm
GreyWoulf

You know, I think there is a book in there somewhere....

hmmmm.. "Zen and the Art of Babbling"

What does everyone think?
9:19 pm
moncrunchr

I'd buy your book GW! :D
9:20 pm
Blaze

absolutely GW
9:21 pm
Angelsong

GW, I have had a lot of fun today. I created a personal webpage that is stored on my hard drive, and put all my Babble links and resources and information on the game on the page; now I can load the single page into my browser, and everything is easily accessible.
9:21 pm
Blaze

down to 82 but must depart for a bit....
9:21 pm
mamabear

Sounds good, GW... there would have to be a chapter in there on "fish"...such as:
One fish,
Two fish,
Red fish,
Plural fish!

9:21 pm
LeslieAnn

LOL mama
9:22 pm
GreyWoulf

Angel -- now that is dedication to the game! I never would have thought to do that :)
9:23 pm
LeslieAnn

woot! done! have just a few minutes for clues if anyone needs some
9:23 pm
Angelsong

I hate flipping back and forth for things; now I don't have to; and I can update the page very easily using a text editor.
9:25 pm
moncrunchr

WTG! LeslieAnn! High five!
9:25 pm
GreyWoulf

Yeah for Leslie!!!
9:27 pm
GreyWoulf

Griffums

9:35 pm
GreyWoulf

LOL, Griff -- my place if filled with desserts right now -- tastycake product was on sale at the market -- we still have a bunch of stuff that Kirsten baked last week.... and her mother brought over a banana bread today!!
9:36 pm
Griffums

Ooooh, Tastykakes! (They don't sell them here) Years (too many) years ago I used to babysit for a player of the Redskins, and marveled because sponsor Tastykake delivered like a hundred new boxes to their house every week. Mmmmemories. Okay back to grid.
9:37 pm
GreyWoulf

Griff -- if you ever want any, just e-mail me ;)
9:38 pm
Griffums

I'll remember that!

GreyWoulf

Isn't he cute, Leslie?
9:40 pm
LeslieAnn

i had seen the live one before, but not the santa one. that is great. (still better than norway). have you ever been to homestarrunner.com? same kind of humor.
9:41 pm
GreyWoulf

Haven't been to HSR in awhile, but yes :)

Found santa because of Kristianna and immediately thought of you ;D
9:43 pm
LeslieAnn

awwwwight you have good taste
9:45 pm
GreyWoulf

Thanks Leslie -- but I don't have one of the to4/7's -- I have the homestead, what's the other?

9:50 pm
GreyWoulf

I don't believe that the to5/12 and 6/21 were the last to's I found!!! After all I am the (almost) shaman here!! :D
9:51 pm
Griffums

I found those early on but then up here, you can't throw a rock without hitting one of those poles... :)
9:51 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi Jera -- how was the train trip?
(I haven't seen you in awhile :) )

micamonkey

oh well im done...
damn now i have to actually do some work *sigh*

kinda itching to treat myself to a pro account *counts the pennies*
9:54 pm
GreyWoulf

mica -- it is definitely worth it!!
I had to count my pennies too and did it as soon as I could :)
9:55 pm
GreyWoulf

After all, icon shopping is soooo much fun !! ;D
9:55 pm
Jera

Oh, GW, it was horrible!! We were the last ones on the train & had to sit near the doors & we nearly froze... it was bad. The car was full & there weren't three seats together, so we all sat in 2 seats (which really wasn't bad), so I'll be getting some money back. 3 hour delay, the last one of which was spent one freakin' mile from the station. I could've walked there in the amount of time we spent just waiting... I had to sit down & cry once we finally got the heck offa there!!
9:55 pm
micamonkey

lol yeah i know its the lure of the icons >: )
9:56 pm
Griffums

that's the way it is, mica... you get a little of the free taste and now you're hooked....
9:57 pm
GreyWoulf

OH, Jera!!! I am so sorry to hear that!!
(*Big HUG*)

Hopefully the rest of the holidays helped to alleviate the stress from the trip :)
9:59 pm

Jammersbabe

Good Evening all, getting a late start
10:00 pm
Griffums

I'd like to think that I'd get a kickback for standing over here against the chainlink fence beckoning you into the darkness, but alas, I don't.
10:00 pm
Jera

Thanks

*snuffles into GW's shoulder*

The rest was pretty good... the kids had a blast running wild with dozens of cousins & there was even a brand-new 2 month old baby cousin!!

It was kinda sad that I didn't get to visit much with my mother-in-law, my F-I-L is pretty feeble, just had another knee surgery & can't do much on his own. Caring for him is pretty time consuming!
10:01 pm
GreyWoulf

mica -- (*spooky voice*) -- the icons are calling.... they want you to shop for them... you can not resist the icons....
10:02 pm
micamonkey

lol GW i think i'm gonna hold out till i get paid from my holiday job... expecting some pennies to be rollin' in next month
10:02 pm
Griffums

72 wds to go in two hours, by gummies I think I can get this done even if I stop for dessert!
10:03 pm
GreyWoulf

(*normal voice as if nothing is going on*)

Well, that's all right then, in'nit?

:D
10:03 pm

$9.95USD is about $17SGD
hmmmmm
10:04 pm
micamonkey

griff, u can do it :D
I started 2 hours ago and i finished 15min ago
10:04 pm
GreyWoulf

Griff -- I have 72 to go as well!!
Wouldn't it be really weird if they were the same ones? ;D
10:04 pm
Griffums

yes mica, but to us it only makes half as much sense, so you're even
10:04 pm
Griffums

That would in fact be REALLY weird.
Mica, you are too smart, too fast, too much!
10:05 pm
Griffums

(dessert is Starbucks java chip with Luna Mocha liqueur - that chocolate tequila stuff? - on top)

maybe I'll just go get the carton... and the bottle
10:05 pm
GreyWoulf

Baaaad pun, Griffums!!!!!
10:06 pm
Jera

Well, what shall we do to celebrate my birthday tomorrow?? A 300 word puzzle, but all the words are really easy would be nice...
10:07 pm
GreyWoulf

Jera -- Happy Birthday in advance -- It's Mamabears B-day as well!
10:08 pm
Jera

Wow, how cool! Shoulda known she was a fellow Cappy...
10:09 pm
GreyWoulf

Yep --- though she is currently seriously hit by a virus, so any good vibes you can send her way would be appreciated ;)
10:10 pm
micamonkey

griff: oh bleh
I've seen you guys finish the puzzle when i've spent hours and not even half way there
you guys are my inspiration ;)
10:10 pm
GreyWoulf

Griff -- you are having THAT for dessert and you call mica too much!?! (LOL)
10:11 pm
Jera

You think she would mind my lighting a candle for her?
10:11 pm
Griffums

er, well, yeah...and if I told you what I had for dinner you'd fire me! I might have to send in a designated eater!
10:11 pm
GreyWoulf

Jera -- I am sure she would welcome it :)
10:11 pm
Griffums

oh, baby, it was sooooooo good. Rib steak and mushrooms done in a pan with butter and red wine reduction, oven roasted potatoes with thyme and parsley, peas that I picked from my friend Becky's garden this summer. And lots of all of it. And Alaskan Winter Ale (spruce-tip brew, it's YUMMO) to fill in the few remaining gaps. Gosh, I love living alone and being the only person to eat all the food.... mmmmmmmph oof
10:15 pm

Hi Everyone. Been working trying to solve the puzzle for a few. Had a good day, went to the movie "Rumor has it". Jennifer Anistan did a great job, but Shirley McLaine stoled the show. Shirley is great. Good show, go see it everyone, if you like comedies.

10:40 pm

li 7/28

10:53 pm

Ishult -- li - woolsey.
10:53 pm
GreyWoulf

lshult - the li6 builds off the li4/4 -- add vowel and consonant
10:54 pm
Babs1

second call for 5/24, por favor?
10:55 pm
Jera

What 5/24, Babs (sorry I didn't see first call)??
10:55 pm
Griffums

We both responded to the first call, Jera... I don't know another clue for that word tho.
10:56 pm
Jera

Are you still looking for the fo5/24, Babs? The old no fun person clues didn't work for you?
10:57 pm
GreyWoulf

Babs -- think in terms of bad weather -- but spelt wrong -- a very fo*** day --- need a special horn to protect ships at sea
10:58 pm
brandyjack

add a vowel to the fo4/7
10:58 pm
micamonkey

yeah instead of the double consonant, sub with a vowel
like do 5/20
10:58 pm
Jera

Hmmm, okay, here's another go... think of a weather occurrance that looks like smoke... fo*** weather where you need the lighthouse... drop second of the doubled consonant & replace it with an e.
10:59 pm
brandyjack

in the fo***, fo*** dew.....
10:59 pm
GreyWoulf

And you said you were bad at giving clues! :D
