spatial --- I was referring to the old Prophecy movie in the last post -- a first attempt at scaring the public into ecological awareness ---- I LOVE the more recent one -- was tellign everyone else about the image of Viggo as Satan --- he made the show --- though Walken as Gabriel was a good choice as well :)

Hi nava -- haven't seen you in a while (*hug*)

12:40 am

nava

hey greywoulf. it's been busy around here for the holidays. out of town and that kind of stuff. slow internet at the inlaws and just not worth trying to play the game. nice to be back and back in routine.

12:41 am

GreyWoulf

Hope your holidays went well?
Mine were quiet, but very pleasant :)

12:42 am

Blaze

glad to see you back Nave
Nan you look great

12:43 am

nava

mrpresident

This looks evil... I only see 10 words!!

12:44 am

nava

thanks blaze, good to be back

12:44 am

Blaze

mrp it is tricky but lots of nice easy 4 letter words with plurals... and australian beer

12:45 am

mrpresident

Ah, I just spent a week in the place with the same name as Aust Beer!

12:45 am

GreyWoulf

mrp -- you just have to look at the grid crosseyed -- I am over half way done -- though I have only found 2 of the 7's and neither of the 8's yet :)

12:47 am

Hugabugs

I'm down to needing 34 right now

12:48 am

GreyWoulf

Sure... kill my buzz, Hugs ;)

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

Is freon a brand name?

12:49 am

Blaze

as 8...... what pot smokers are.....

12:50 am

cybernan

47 to go here

I was wondering the same thing, GW

12:50 am

Blaze

I don't think it is spelled that way ??

12:51 am

cybernan

Pot smokers, Blaze? -- airhead isn't in there!

12:51 am

Hugabugs

yeah, I'm pretty sure freon is a brand name

12:51 am

Blaze

what they are after .......

12:52 am

Hugabugs

:o) Thx Blaze, now I have them both!

12:54 am

mrpresident

that clue is eluding me...

12:56 am

cybernan

me too mr. pres -- another clue, Blaze?

12:56 am

GreyWoulf

(*puppy eyes*)

Pleeaasse?

12:56 am

Blaze

a st 5/10 plural..... remember the moonies

12:57 am

Dianne

Blaze - your 1st clue was great - got it straight away.
Thanks.

12:58 am

Blaze

You are very welcome

1:00 am

cybernan

I'm confused -- not all that unusual!

1:01 am

GreyWoulf

Glad it's not just me, C-nan

1:01 am

mrpresident

nan, so am I... can't get it!

1:01 am

Blaze

I am sorry..... about the confusion..... most people call pot smokers stoners....

1:02 am

GreyWoulf

looks like we are the 3 musketeers of confusion :D

1:02 am

cybernan

I have two st 5/10's, the rock and the pig -- does it use either of those?

1:02 am

brandyjack

I think most of us get that part, but the connection isn't clicking. Aside from the fact that stoner isn't there.....

1:03 am

Blaze

have you ever been to the rockies ?? as 8 is much smaller

1:03 am

Hugabugs

If Mr. Danza and Mr. Randal and Mr. Bennett were all in the room, it would be full of to7's.... add an a in front

1:03 am

cybernan

when I try putting an a in front of the st 5 or 6, it isn't accepted.

1:03 am

Norad

Greetings babblers...I've got an st 8/40, but can't seem to find the as 8... the st one has to do with the most rocks

1:04 am

Blaze

when you get norads clue add the a drop the t

Hugabugs

Any hints for that d7 hockeyguy? It's my last d

1:07 am

HockeyGuy

Which one do you need. I only have the first one.

1:08 am

Hugabugs

oh wait, I need 2 d's... I guess they are both 7's? I haven't looked at the list yet.

1:09 am

HockeyGuy

Oh, OK. The one I have is like the de6/21 before it, but with another letter after the 4th letter.

1:10 am

judierae

d/7 switch a letter = far away

1:11 am

Hugabugs

:o) Thank you... got it!

1:21 am

moncrunchr

help with the te 6/18's (3 of them, ugh)....please....

1:22 am

Blaze

mon two sound like the male genital

1:23 am

Hugabugs

mon... one is the male organ. it's the only word I have so far.

1:23 am

Griffums

Hey all - just checking in to see whether it's a doable grid or whether I need to skip another day...

1:23 am

Blaze

griffs it is do able.... how are you to day ??

1:23 am

Hugabugs

Thanks Blaze :o)

Hiya Griffs!

1:24 am

GreyWoulf

Way doable, Griff -- 169 and I have only 50 to go :)

1:24 am

mrpresident

ta 6 - someone who samples food and the plural

1:25 am

Griffums

I'm okay. Sad for my friend's family.

1:25 am

cybernan

It's very doable, Griff.

1:26 am

moncrunchr

thanks .... male organ.... yup two spellings for that!

1:26 am

cybernan

By the way -- tomorrow is 'the real me' icon day, if any of you should care to join in.

1:26 am

HockeyGuy

te6 - every man has a pair of these
te6 - same as above, but one letter difference

1:26 am

Blaze

now change the end letters to opposite of under

1:27 am

HockeyGuy

whats the 3rd te6?

1:27 am

Blaze

HG see post 1:26

1:28 am

cybernan

Guess I'm going to have to break down and consult bj's list for the last 30.

1:29 am

HockeyGuy

Yeah, I have the two for male organs. The third is the same too?

1:30 am

Blaze

Hg.... the third change last to letters for opposite of under

1:31 am

brandyjack

No, use the first 4 letters plus the opposite of under.....

1:31 am

moncrunchr

3rd te 6/18 : A 16th-century French silver coin.

1:31 am

mrpresident

thank you!

1:32 am

HockeyGuy

Oh, I thought you said "other" and not "under"

My mistake. Thanks.

1:32 am

brandyjack

perhaps the opposite of off is more appropriate. Instead of the te4/4 being off it is **.

1:32 am

Blaze

Yes... BJ that makes better sense

1:35 am

mrpresident

fruqun F's... I am having heaps of trouble with them!!

1:38 am

Q

Huh. BJ's list has 15 st's, but i seem to have 16 of them.

1:40 am

HockeyGuy

Pres, when you type on a computer the writing is called a fo**.

1:40 am

Blaze

Q refresh your bab anon page....

1:41 am

HockeyGuy

Yeah, he said his solver missed one.

1:41 am

brandyjack

Update your list. you must have gotten to it in the first 2 minutes before I corrected it.

1:41 am

Hugabugs

GW... think of Sprite's homeland

1:41 am

mrpresident

thanks hockey... got half of them now!

1:41 am

GreyWoulf

got it!

1:42 am

Blaze

thank you hugs

1:42 am

Q

Ha! yes, thanks, BJ.

1:42 am

brandyjack

It always misses the st5/10 arterial inflation device.... It's not part of the enable lexicon and the babblers talked dr_god into inserting it into his list....

1:42 am

HockeyGuy

Yeah, I have 9/17 F's.

1:44 am

Q

that's the one i figured it was missing, since i know it didn't USED to be accepted as a word.

its plural really should be, too, though...

1:45 am

brandyjack

Heh. I have anough trouble with th st5/10 and the qu/u tiles side by side as it is.....

Hugabugs

1:52 am

GreyWoulf

Hockey - variant spelling of fe5/18

1:52 am

Hugabugs

HG, it's a spelling variation of the f5/18 - offensive odour

1:52 am

HockeyGuy

so6/27 - same base four letters as before, new ending. When you call someone a so****, it's mean.

1:52 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks

1:53 am

HockeyGuy

Maybe I should look for fe5/18 then. Heh.

1:53 am

moncrunchr

Hugabugs

1:54 am

brandyjack

1:54 am

Blaze

Well, no. It was just an example.

Missy that's you strange americans that put the month first followed by the date....that's 3rd/of the 1st/2006......strange strange peeps :)

Not as strange as the french, though. They give us all those letters and then don't let us pronounce them :)

4:52 am

tbear

Fmitch well done but.....now what.....I never (hardly ever) finish....so I've always got something to do....hahaha

4:53 am

4:55 am

MissyMe

4:58 am

MissyMe

I should size my pic down a bit so it doesn't look so stretched out. I'll fix it tomorrow...feeling too lazy right now

4:59 am

tbear

Missy......quexistentialism... ...hahahaha

4:59 am

kiwifruta

this is an addictive game. I may have to sign up on with it. Only my second day on it and they happened to both be public holidays!
What does the highest scoring word start with?

5:00 am

tbear

kiwifruta....go to babblers Anonymous and all will be revealed,I think!!

5:02 am

kiwifruta

tbear hahaha, it'll come one day for sure

5:02 am

MissyMe

good gravy, tbear o-0 Now I really do need that java

5:02 am

tbear

5:02 am

MissyMe

Welcome Kiwi :)

5:04 am

kiwifruta

I have two 27 point words what the highest others have? I want to know how much more i need to improve...

5:06 am

Dianne

kiwi - there is an As8 and St8 - both worth 40 points.

5:06 am

kiwifruta

thanks Diane

5:07 am

MissyMe

Do you have to go "pro" to "flip to stats"?

5:08 am

kiwifruta

dang it. I though I had it for a moment with astonis...

5:09 am

MissyMe

There's nine 7-letter words that will give you high scores on all of them

5:09 am

Dianne

kiwi - you are sooooo close to it :)

5:09 am

MissyMe

you are close....vewy...vewy close

5:11 am

MissyMe

Brb gonna nuke some coffee :)

5:12 am

Dianne

kiwi - think potheads.

5:13 am

tbear

Kiwifruta...a lot of people don't worry about points just try (in my case) to get all the words,like today that's 169....when you go pro all this info will be availabubble to you....where are you and what gender? We are overrun with crazy females but plenty of room for more!

5:14 am

kiwifruta

I'm in New Zealand, I'm a male

5:15 am

moncrunchr

Ok, last two. and I just cannot see them.....
se 5/10 and the se 6/18 right after it
(but, according to my 'stats', one comes off the Top S and one comes off the Bottom S..... ugh)

5:15 am

tbear

Praise the Lord......girls another male to drive crazy....lol

5:17 am

kiwifruta

arrggg the readers digest dictionary doesn't have it, I'll need a multi-volume dictionary from now on, or the right to rearrange the letters in the grid to an order more to my preference

5:18 am

tbear

momcrunchr...do you have the se4 to post followed by a vowel.....whole word looks unfinished se5

5:19 am

tbear

p.s. make that moncr not momcrunchr....kinda scary name otherwise

5:19 am

MissyMe

kiwi this is a great site that helps you find words by putting in the part of the word you have...then it gives you choices

http://www.moreword s.com/

5:20 am

tbear

Missy that's cheating...bad girl

5:21 am

MissyMe

se 5/10 When you put something down you se* it down + not off but **

5:21 am

MissyMe

Its better than him thumbing through is dictionary That's totally frustrating!

5:22 am

tbear

Kiwi...don't do it...monkey type instead...

5:23 am

MissyMe

se 6/18 when you put something down you se* it down + rhymes with nose

5:23 am

moncrunchr

yes, Missy, I have those. The ones I need are almost at the bottom of the 'st' list. There are only two words AFTER the ones I need, and they are both st 4's

5:24 am

MissyMe

I get 99% of the words myself...but it helps in a pinch! And I don't think I could complete a puzzle without BrandyJack's list

5:25 am

MissyMe

Okay :) When you "puta" something "downa" on a table you **** it down :)

You have that one?

5:26 am

kiwifruta

5:29 am

MissyMe

5:29 am

5:30 am

tbear

5:30 am

MissyMe

5:31 am

kiwifruta

5:33 am

tbear

Nice one Moncrunchr...!

5:33 am

moncrunchr

I have to say, though, I copied BJ's stat list right after the flip .....and at that time, she only showed 168 words. Since then she added an extra "St5" word, which I had found and thought I was nutzo.

5:34 am

kiwifruta

Astonies!

5:34 am

tbear

monchrunchr...BJ's a fella

5:34 am

MissyMe

5:35 am

tbear

Missy you forgot the q in the middle.....

5:35 am

kiwifruta

5:35 am

MissyMe

5:36 am

tbear

Someone ban kiwifruta....Dr God...one of those bad people

5:36 am

moncrunchr

7:43 am

EvaNadine

7:44 am

lola100

I'm going to have a slice of xmas cake as soon as I've sorted out my laundry : )

7:45 am

Jera

I hate sore throats, especially when teamed up with a cough... my flu was relatively easy... just really tired & achey mostly... got over it just in time for my birthday...

7:45 am

Jera

What is your xmas cake like, Lola??

7:46 am

Anj

Lo, I hope you're staying off Iz's chocolate money *wags finger of admonishment* ; )

*ick*

7:52 am

Jen

Next week would be better for me Jera... hubby is getting ready to go on a business trip for a very long time and we are trying to get him prepped. He leaves on Sunday and I'll be free.

7:53 am

7:54 am

lola100

Jera, I make it myself so I get to put all the things I like in....i.e. sherry, brandy and lots of cherries! : D

7:56 am

Jera

I love mint chocolate... the darker the better... it's about the only kind that's worth it to me... IMHO, milk is the ruination of good chocolate... also too much sugar...

7:56 am

renfield

7:57 am

Anj

7:58 am

Jen

Anj, I'm originally from the south... EVERYTHING is made better by deep-frying!

7:59 am

lola100

tbear, LOL! Which daughter? I'm guessing the younger one??

7:59 am

renfield

8:18 am

macuser

Jera - if it's not one, it's the ot***

8:20 am

Jera

*sighs in frustration*

I have the ot5, trying not to say it... I want to know the begining of the 8 letter words (already have one)...

8:20 am

EvaNadine

ok, so i have the St8...anyone have a hint for the remaining 8?

8:20 am

EvaNadine

:)

8:20 am

macuser

sorry, Jera, I misunderstood

8:21 am

Jera

ty, evanadine... that's what I've been trying to say for 5 minutes, LOL!

8:21 am

EvaNadine

it took me until i was posting my request for hints to understand what you were getting at...heh

Anj

Eva, the top E is the same as the top left U, just change the start letter : )

8:31 am

Jera

Anj you are awesome, so I'm not surprised... I have noticed I'm getting better at this game, finally... maybe memorizing some of the weirder words...

8:43 am

Jera

You mean brandyjack's hint list? I am down to 49 w/o looking, but fading fast... been bugging everyone for clues... :D

8:43 am

Jera

I am all about grey boxes today, trying to keep track that way...

8:44 am

ywoolf

what are grey boxes

8:44 am

lola100

ywoolf, if you are pro you get a stats programme that tells you. If you click on the babblers anon link (last one in friends of babble box) and look under general you will find the second letter list : )

8:44 am

aknitter

yes jera, l live for branyjacks list!! I am resisting temptation ... must not look

8:44 am

Jera

How many S's are there? i still have 15 left to find!!

8:45 am

Jera

Lots of clues come up in the chat, even without asking... eavesdropping rules!

8:45 am

aknitter

eaves dropping? i ws thinking i was more of a stalker, hunting for clues

8:46 am

EvaNadine

ok, i have Co7 -- missing all the rest...heh

8:46 am

Jera

Sorry, ywoolf... grey box indicates I have found all words there are starting with a certain letter...

8:46 am

Jera

All the rest of the C's or the 7's??

8:47 am

EvaNadine

7s

8:47 am

Jera

Oooh, aknitter... Might Babble Word Hunters are we!! Sounds glamorous...

8:47 am

Jera

8:48 am

AnneB

8:49 am

lola100

ywoolf, the 'grey boxes' that jera is talking about are part of the stats programme that I mentioned.

8:49 am

Jera

Ye gods, 53 S's... who'd a thunk it...

8:49 am

EvaNadine

anne -- i think babble probably considers that a proper noun, which it wont accept

8:50 am

lola100

anneb, nope, babble doesn't like that one. Try leaving the last two letters off though ;)

8:53 am

Jera

co7/32: plural of old timey girdle

di7/32: sounds like far away, but e in second syllable

re7/28: to quiz again (plural)

to7/28: makes bread warm & cripsy

to7/28: Brit for most fancy (I think) root is short for Anthony

8:54 am

Jera

Maybe someone else has the other 4, eva...

8:54 am

EvaNadine

8:55 am

9:03 am

Jera

9:04 am

Jera

I think it's considered a proper noun, grant...

9:04 am

EvaNadine

9:05 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning all, need a clue for at7/28 please

9:06 am

FMitch

You're welcome Yoink.

9:06 am

aknitter

jera -- offended never, it was my intention to have her look like that

9:07 am

Jera

I can't believe my son is still sleeping... I need to go wake him up or he'll be up all night... he's still on holiday time (we are night owls by nature) & it's time to get back on schedule!

9:08 am

Jera

Later & thanks again for all the help... (you know who you are!)

9:15 am

Marc Freeman

The log is not updating on my computer very quickly. Thanks Evanading for at7 got it. I need a clue for the first di7/32 the won between the weightloss 6/21 and 4/5 I know it is obvious but i am not finding it.

9:16 am

aknitter

marc di 7 -- a long way away, replace the a with an e

9:16 am

Yoink

Marc, try my clue at 8:57

9:20 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry aknitter I need the di7/36 I was wrong. Yoink your clue didn't help sorry I am so dense.

9:20 am

aknitter

don't have that one either but i would like it!

9:22 am

Yoink

It builds from an e5 that is a chemical compound, or can also mean the atmosphere or the heavens

9:23 am

lola100

di7/36: add a consonant after the fourth letter of the di6/21 (think gasses).

9:23 am

aknitter

thanks yoink, got it

9:24 am

Marc Freeman

yoink are we talking about the same di. The first 4 letter are from the di4/5 is what you go on to lose weight. I am scrambling for the last 3 letters think I tried every combo

9:25 am

Yoink

Marc, yes it's the same one, for a different clue, it's your di4 with not him but *** on the end

9:26 am

lola100

marc, last three letters are the opp of 'him'.

9:26 am

ywoolf

i have 40 words

9:26 am

Yoink

Great minds Lola... :D

9:27 am

lola100

Well done ywoolf! Is this your first game?

9:27 am

Yoink

Hi Temple :)

9:32 am

Marc Freeman

Yoink and lola sorry I didn't see the 'h' for the longest time.

Slap me on the head

9:33 am

lola100

Aww, we don't do slaps round here marc....but you may use the fish if you want, lol! ; )

9:36 am

ywoolf

60 words so far. 100 more to go, no?

9:37 am

periwinkle

got the so7 that means the most so4/7. may I have a clue for the other one

9:37 am

lola100

ywoolf, 109. Keep going! : )

9:38 am

aknitter

is there a clue for the ot 5?

9:38 am

lola100

peri, if someone is a nice person you might call them a big so****, pluralise for the 7 :)

9:38 am

Jacula

Hello again everyone.:-) I'm all done but for 2 words: the 1st ne5/10 (before the bird's home) and the 3rd te5/10 (after 'opposite of exam off'). Anyone care to throw a clue or two my way?

9:39 am

HotTimale

peri... the plural for someone who might be considered overly nice

9:39 am

Yoink

Peri, if you were so4/7 you might be called a so5 (not in this puzzle) and if there were a group of you you would be a group of so7

9:40 am

Jacula

Aknitter - ot5 - think 'this, that and the ot***'.

9:40 am

lola100

jacula, there is the plural of the exam and then the exam with a vowel on the end...do you have those?

9:40 am

aknitter

thanks jac, i think i need my ot*** brain!

9:41 am

ExWren

Jacula, insert another vowel after the first vowel!

9:41 am

ywoolf

that's funny

9:42 am

Jacula

Thanks Lola. Got it now. (Had the plural written in the wrong place!)

9:43 am

lola100

jacs, that's what I thought as I do that all the time! :D

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

trying to do without bj's list...anyone have any idea how many words there are through the f's?

9:43 am

daddy

9:44 am

periwinkle

9:44 am

Jacula

Temple - there are 17 f words (not counting those being used by players). LOL.

9:45 am

JJ555

anyone have a clue for one of the last di 4/5? I got the one that relates to a telegraph.....

9:45 am

lola100

temple, fe x 10, fo x 5 and fr x 2 :)

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

lol jacs!

9:45 am

lola100

LOL jacs! :D

9:45 am

Jacula

jj555 - last di4/5 - think of speaking Morse Code.

9:46 am

JJ555

that's the one I do have, but thanks Jacula

9:46 am

Jacula

Anyone got a clue for my last word, the 1st ne5/10?

9:47 am

HotTimale

Jac, change the first letter of one who believes a god exists

9:48 am

daddy

plural for a ne4/4

9:48 am

lola100

jacs, ex wren said 'insert another vowel after the first vowel'...that got it for me : )

9:48 am

Jacula

JJ555 - maybe you want the di4/5 before it? 'To prepare for action. Verb tense of 'dight''. Think of the French for 'speak' or 'say'.

9:49 am

Jacula

Thanks HotTimale (and Hi! Don't think we've met on here before?) and Lola. I'm all done now.

9:49 am

daddy

how many words does everyone have?

9:50 am

harpjane

Hello, and goodbye. Off to work now.

9:50 am

ExWren

Sorry exWren - I thought your clue was for the 'te' word.

9:51 am

Jacula

Hi & 'Bye - Harp. Have a great day!

9:51 am

lola100

Woo! Well done jacs and exwren! : )

daddy, 152 here : )

9:51 am

daddy

9:52 am

Jacula

Daddy - 169 words for me and same for ExWren. (We've finished the grid.)

9:52 am

lola100

aknitter, think overly nice people : )

9:52 am

ywoolf

9:52 am

granadan

Daddy, this blasted game takes over all.....

9:52 am

aknitter

lola, that won't help, everyone tells me i am not nice, very mean!!

9:52 am

HotTimale

Hi Jac! I don't believe we've met either... I'm a sporadic Babbler on mundane workdays

9:53 am

harpjane

I have 59 so far. Daddy, you can quit any time, right? Just like the rest of us? hee hee hee!

9:53 am

Jacula

Daddy - You have no idea HOW addictive... yet. (Evil cackle.)LOL.

9:53 am

HotTimale

...of which there are thankfully few lately

9:54 am

lola100

aknitter, I don't believe that for a second...all babblers are great people! The last four letters could mean binds?

9:55 am

Jacula

aknitter - If a man cries or likes puppydogs or something, silly people might call him 'a big so****'. The word you seek is the plural of that.

9:55 am

daddy

i have 4 7's and an 8

9:56 am

Jacula

Oh, mustn't forget to say WELL DONE to ExWren. WELL DONE!

I'm off to sort my laundry now but will pop back to give clues as and when I can. TTFN all.x

9:57 am

HotTimale

any clues for es6?

9:58 am

aknitter

thanks for the clues! i've got all my 7's now and can now go do laundry (yumps up and down with excitment)

10:00 am

Jacula

One last clue before I go...
es6 - a type of Ford car or someone who accompanies someone to an event.

10:01 am

HotTimale

thanks Jac... totally missed that one. figured i was done with that corner for good

10:01 am

Yoink

Wow aknitter, it must be very exciting if it's enough to make you yump up and down! What's a yump? ;)

10:04 am

aknitter

laundry is definately not exciting i was glad to have found all the 7's. as you can see i am still here and have not yet gone to the laundry room

10:04 am

sprite

Looks bad... is the server going down a temporary thing?

10:06 am

lola100

Hi sprite! Long time, no see! : )
Not too bad today and yes, I think it will only be down for a few hours : )

10:07 am

sprite

Ah, then all is well in my world ;)
Good to see you, lola!

10:10 am

lola100

You too sprite. Did you and your family have a good festive season?

10:11 am

sprite

We had a very quiet and nice couple of celebration days and are now enjoying another week of school holidays. Best wishes to you and yours for this year :D
Did you have a good time with your loved ones?

10:13 am

AnneB

Hi anyone got a clue for the fo 6/30? tyvm

10:14 am

lola100

Thanks sprite! We also kept things quiet so it was a nice, relaxing time for a change. Then I went to visit my babble friends for a few days and helped tbear celebrate her birthday. I've had a great time : )

10:15 am

Vicuna

fo6/30 -alternate spelling of the fe5/18

10:15 am

sprite

That is so nice! This is becoming more and more a real community, isn't it? I like that :)

10:16 am

AnneB

thanks vicuna, it was driving me bog eyed!

10:17 am

lola100

I know! I really miss my babble friends when I don't play for a while. : )

10:18 am

Vicuna

My pleasure, AnneB! We can't have anyone bog eyed, no, can we? :)

10:19 am

sprite

Me too! I even try to play at different times, so I see all of you every now and then ;)

10:23 am

lola100

Aww, that's sweet sprite!

10:24 am

sprite

:D

10:30 am

lola100

Yay! I'm done : )
Anyone want any clues before I get some chores done?

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

yay lola! : D

10:32 am

sprite

I am at 104 and still typing away, so I guess the hard part for me is still to come. Will look up clues in the log when I hit a wall. Thanks and congrats on finishing!

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

oh lola - i went back to the di 7 clue - having to do with gasses - and i could not get it...

10:34 am

Yoink

Congrats Lola, I've not entered a word for about an hour, the chat log is innocuous looking enough but the grid is too obvious right now at work!

10:34 am

lola100

Okay temple, try this: what we women hate to do (restrict food intake!) plus opp of 'him' : )

10:34 am

sprite

Twice your E5/12 would work too.

10:35 am

Anj

T-Owl, think of a di6 word for hesitant or indecisive and add an E as the 3rd letter : )

...Hi All - back for my last word : )

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry lola! i have that one - it's a 6, then, not a 7- no wonder i could not get it!!!!

10:36 am

sprite

LOL @ Yoink.

10:37 am

lola100

temple, the di6 is someone who restricts food intake : )

10:38 am

sprite

Marc: most rocklike

10:38 am

lola100

10:38 am

Judi

Oops, my clue was for Marc.

10:39 am

JJ555

10:42 am

walnutchen

10:44 am

sprite

walnutchen: I don't have a te4/5 yet.

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

no6/21 builds on o5/12

10:45 am

Jacula

JJ - no6/21 - an informal way of saying 'alternative' or change the 1st vowel in ne6/21 (the regions Anj mentioned).

10:45 am

lola100

jj555, it's like the ne6/21, just change the second letter : )

10:45 am

walnutchen

ah got it.. .thanks lola! wowsers that was hard to find.

11:13 am

miametro

whoop, got all those sneaky little c's! drives me crazy, having letters stuck there like that, lol.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

you two are actually fans of shoofly pie?

11:15 am

gwenski

Wet-bottom shoo-fly pie is the best! (Showing off my Pennsylvania Dutch roots.)

11:15 am

smaller

Hi all!

somebody tell me to go to work. before i enter a word. bad smaller, bad smaller.

11:16 am

tbear

Eastern,it's supposed to be the 'real you' as requested by cybernan yesterday,but then we got into a screwy conversation as to when was tomorrow around the world so some have and some haven't....take yr pick

11:16 am

EasternBlue

hi smaller!!

is shoofly pie anything like pecan pie??

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

go on, smaller...you know you want to.....

11:17 am

renfield

smaller...uh... work????

11:17 am

tbear

Hey I was only absent for about 12 days and there are loads of new people....what fun....

11:17 am

renfield

i've never had shoofly pie.... i'm excited!!!

11:18 am

miametro

go to work smaller! finding this a very slow puzzle today!

11:18 am

gwenski

I don't especially like pecan pie, so I'd say that shoofly isn't like it at all. It's got molasses in it!

11:19 am

smaller

cool icon eb!

ren-i thought you were going with red, and getting rid of the barbie blond?

11:19 am

tbear

Give me a slice...I'm on a seafood diet for 2006,well I have been so far.....ha

11:19 am

EasternBlue

qwenski - isn't it sort of gooey like a pecan pie tho'??
I think I've had shoofly before...and I do recall enjoying it!! 8 D

11:20 am

renfield

i did go w/ red - refresh

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i'd say it's not as sticky - and it's the molasses natural texture, not cooked up corn syrup goop like pecan pie - gwen?

11:22 am

EasternBlue

hmmm...still sounds yummy!!

11:22 am

renfield

molasses.... ummmmm

11:22 am

smaller

ooooo pretty!

is it personal photo theme day?

11:22 am

renfield

eb - get outta my head!!!

11:22 am

miametro

11:23 am

EasternBlue

11:24 am

renfield

11:25 am

11:25 am

EasternBlue

hi Daddy...& welcome!

11:26 am

11:27 am

sherb

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

daddy - click on the link to the right - babblers anon- you can get the stats there

11:28 am

EasternBlue

Daddy -
On the right side under "Friends of Babble" there is a link for "Babblers Anonymous"...it will bring you to another site where the '2nd letter list' is posted & tells you how many words...
On Babblers Anonymous - click on "General" and then "Stats Puzzle"...you don't have to be a member of Bab. Anon to see the stats!

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hi sherb- i had one vacation day left so i called in sick...

11:28 am

gwenski

I agree -- it's not really sticky, but more gooey, if you can make that distinction!

11:28 am

renfield

sherb!!! glad you made it....8)

11:29 am

daddy

thanks alot!

11:29 am

hurshy

Jen, do you know this person?

11:59 am

Jen

hurshy, absolutely not. I have already alerted Jamie.

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

EasternBlue

Jen - ditto...

12:00 pm

sherb

Iamback - what you're doing is offensive and illegal

12:00 pm

hurshy

12:01 pm

tbear

ignorant and sad really

12:01 pm

Going with the unofficial icon theme of the day... this is pretty old (my hair is no longer pink and I also have acquired a lip piercing), but I don't have photoshop to crop/resize anything current.

12:02 pm

EvaNadine

well stinker!
i cant get my internet to refresh, so i cant see my new icon -- anywho, is it me now??

12:02 pm

12:08 pm

hi bugzy!

why don't we get Jamie to put a warning....underneath the Sole Possession-Free Trial Box...that anyone using offensive language will be ignored completely...we can then just gently direct them to the box..they would have to feel pretty soft...

very nice pic Hot Timeale

12:12 pm

hurshy

and yay, it's not someone from my school!
see, i found out in the earlier incident that the whole school has one IP address, so if Dr_G blocks one person from chatting he blocks us all. hence my anxiety.

12:12 pm

Bugzy

Hi EB! Thanks Sherb + Smaller -
It's so cool to "see" everyone :)

12:12 pm

sherb

smaller - go to work (you always Babble from there, anyway...)

There are so many st5/10's... the one you drink beer from, the clerical worker, the medical device, the plural of 'don't edit it', a length of time, a rock...
any of these help??

12:59 pm

HockeyGuy

Can anyone give clues for the 3 st5/10's in the middle? I have two, but don't know which one I'm missing. I have the one that is plural of the one before it and the one that can become plural to the one after it.

12:59 pm

cybernan

st 5/10: plural of st 4/4 (st +french and)
st 5/10: sores in the eyes, or pigpens
st 5/10: stretches of activity

FE5/16 - 'small mongrel dog." Change the next to last consonant from your boxing term. FE6 is pl.

5:23 pm

Jacula

ruthy - 4th st/10 is the rear of a ship or to be strict. 7th st/10 is a spell of duty or activity, do your st***. Think 'hair dye' or 'paint colour' for the end of the word.

5:24 pm

tbear

5:29 pm

snowyowl

aknitter! Haven't seen you for ages! I could do with someone to knit up all the wool I've bought since all the grandchildren arrived! Did loads when i was younger but arthritic hands make it a long job for me and I once started the front of an age 2 cardigan and then knitted the other side in age 8 - gave up then!!

5:29 pm

aknitter

ha ha! knitter's love to party. just what do you think i do with all my yarn?? LOL

5:30 pm

tbear

Actually knitting is very theraputic.....did it all thru my pregnancies, why i don't know even the cats didn't want to sleep on the end results....but it was fun.

5:31 pm

aknitter

snowy you have great wool in your part of the world, i'd love to drop by and shop! Are your girl scouts participating in the world postcard exchange? mine are

5:33 pm

Fingers5

5:34 pm

brandyjack

Oh yeah, when does Dr Who return to the airwaves?

5:34 pm

snowyowl

Still haven't got round to looking at whats on offer yet aknitter - had a very busy year personally last year & tended to keep everything unit based - will venture out into the wide world a bit this year hopefully. We did take part in a 3 tree plantings about 10 miles away but thats as far as we got. Liked the planting tho' It's will be nice for the girls to take their children to in years to come.

5:34 pm

aknitter

which ones would you linke fingers?

5:35 pm

ruthy

can anyone give me a clue for the st 5/10 after the st 5/10 which is spell of duty or activity

5:35 pm

Fingers5

it doesnt matter to me

5:35 pm

Jacula

The st5/10s:

1. Large beer mug with lid.
2. Narrow, small. (Sounds like a sort of typist.)
3. Rod or catheter inserted into the body.
4. Rear of a ship.
5. Pl. of st4/4 'leave as it was before'. A nullifying proffing term.
6. Pigs' homes.
7. Session or tour of some kind of duty.
8. Ermine. Ferret-like aminal.
9. Small rock, or surname of Hollywood's famously knickerless Sharon.

5:35 pm

snowyowl

ruthy do you have the animal? Like an ermine

5:36 pm

Jacula

*5. Meant 'proofing' term.

5:37 pm

aknitter

i can not figure out the ermine clue

5:37 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - 'ermine' is the white coat that the st5/10 in question sports in winter.

5:38 pm

lola100

aknitter, add what you could eat for breakfast : )

5:38 pm

snowyowl

the ermine one is an anagram of the to5 you may have for breakfast

5:38 pm

snowyowl

5:40 pm

Jacula

Will you lot stop talking about lightly browned bread? I'm a di6/21 at present.

5:45 pm

lola100

Jacs! Behave!!! : D lol

Thanks babe, but it won't let me save it as a jpeg :/

5:48 pm

Anj

Lo, detach it save it to wherever you do. Then right click on the image and select edit. It should open in paint (or something like that) Then file/save as and change the file type to jpeg. Easy as pie...
Except I sent it as a jpeg so you shouldn't have to change it : /

5:48 pm

EvaNadine

guess whos baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

5:50 pm

Cooo-eeee!

5:51 pm

aknitter

does anyone know, is the fo 6/27 related to the fo 5/16

5:52 pm

Jacula

Lola/Anj - I've got one photo taken on webcam that's troublesome like that. Although done as a jpeg it refused to be one. Still have no idea why.

5:52 pm

EvaNadine

the Fo 5/16 i have is a plural of an Fo 4/7

5:53 pm

lola100

Thanks babe, but it's come through as a dat file and I can't even open it : /

5:53 pm

snowyowl

no aknitter - its what you'd do for a child that needs care & can't have it in its own home

5:53 pm

aknitter

hunting for the fo 6/27

5:54 pm

Jacula

fo6/27 is a type of Aussie beer or what some people do rather than adopting children. There was a Dr of that name who went to Gloucester, fell in a puddle right up to his middle and never was seen again.

5:54 pm

lola100

Hi evaN! : )

5:54 pm

EvaNadine

hola lola lady.
:D

5:55 pm

Jacula

Lola - would you like Anj to send me the pic to see if the same thing happens?

5:55 pm

Jacula

EvaNadine

5:57 pm

tbear

Jacula just read the log after making a nice cappuchino and most of it got spat at the screen.......5.44......after spurting coffee I laughed out loud raucously and both my kids came to see what the heck?!!! Very good

6:06 pm

Jacula

LOLA! Lovely to see you at last.:-)

Hi Cybernan.

TBear - sorry about your coffee-covered screen. Brings a whole new meaning to 'having jam on it', doesn't it? Tee, hee.

6:06 pm

Anj

tBear, just right click on a bitmap, edit in paint and resave as a jpeg works for me : )

6:07 pm

cybernan

my spelling is shot today!

6:07 pm

Jacula

Mulled wine. I like it warm with lots of slices of orange and lemon in it. I heat it up with the fruit and some cloves in it.

6:07 pm

cybernan

....as long as the coffee missed the keyboard!

6:09 pm

Nonny

Hi there Cybernan!!! Got a late start, but hopefully I can finish b/4 we shut down. Any help w/the first ne 5/10?

6:09 pm

Anj

Hey Lo, nice hat ; )

6:09 pm

snowyowl

I drink it warm - much more comforting- just wondering if I can fit in another glass before bed! I could always be like my mother in law & take the Rennies before the meal!

6:10 pm

Jacula

Nice to see so many Babblers putting in a personal appearance here today. We should do it more often!

6:10 pm

Nonny

Oops!!! Nevermind, I found it!!

6:10 pm

cybernan

ne 5/10: ne + first person singular + abbrev. for the "road" where you live.

6:10 pm

Cathy

hi everyone! ok, here's Cathy :) admittedly, the pic is a about 3 years old but since I haven't taught my cat how to use the camera, it was the best I could do on short notice :) Really cool to see everyone's snapshots!

6:10 pm

cybernan

I think so too, Jacula

6:11 pm

cybernan

Hi Cathy

6:11 pm

EvaNadine

6:11 pm

Jacula

Hi Cathy. Nice to see you!

6:12 pm

Anj

I prefer the dark & blurry enigmatic look personally, lol : )

6:13 pm

tbear

OOOOooo I just changed a bitmap into a jpeg...yee haa now showing just home from the pub face...haha

6:13 pm

Jacula

Anj - if you mean my pic it's either the fault of the webcam or the bad lighting in here.

6:13 pm

cybernan

so we noticed, Anj! :)

6:13 pm

aknitter

so 5/10 anyone? the last one

6:14 pm

Cathy

hi cybernan & jacula -- good to see you guys, too.
Anj -- I was tempted to use a pic where my face is mostly obliterated by the cat, but thought that might be even scarier to some LOL

6:14 pm

Jacula

LOL TBear. You do look to be lurching a bit there.:-)

6:15 pm

lola100

lol, thanks babe! ; )

Thanks evaN, it's nice to put faces to names, isn't it? : )

6:15 pm

Jacula

Last so5/10 is pl. of the so4/4 before it. Think of the cakes you have for a Devon Cream Tea and take the cee out of it.

6:16 pm

EvaNadine

Anj

6:32 pm

Cathy

6:35 pm

lola100

Aw tbear! *gives tbear big hug, winks back and taps her nose'*

6:35 pm

snowyowl

definately Anj! Its just that if you're tall the distribution is easier! My mother made me marry a 6ft man as she was frightened that legs were being bred out of our family - my dad was only 5'4 on tiop toe! LOL
interestingly my daughter has married a 6ft 5 man so theres hope!

6:35 pm

cybernan

di 7/32: di + curve + camping gear

6:36 pm

lola100

snowy...LOL!!! : D

6:36 pm

doxy1lover

thank you cybernan.

6:36 pm

Cathy

hi snowy - that one cracked me up ! LOL

6:36 pm

Jacula

di7/32 - a poetic way of saying ' to swell out or expand from or as if from internal pressure.' Sounds a bit far off.

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

di7/36?

6:37 pm

Jacula

Snowy. ROFLOL.

6:37 pm

Anj

Snowy, you're not wrong there. All my mum's side of the family clock in on the low 5s and the earlier generation were late 4s : / I'm 5'9" so there's hope...

6:38 pm

cybernan

Not to worry, Snowy -- each generation is getting taller. I'm 5'8, my daughter is 5'10 and my 15 year old granddaughter is 6'0!

6:38 pm

Jacula

di7/36 - the former Princess of Wales + et5/12 (gas)

6:39 pm

snowyowl

ty Cathy nice to see you in the flesh - so to speak! Every word is true I promise LOL!!

6:39 pm

Jacula

Anj - you're the same height as my son. (His Dad's 6'.)

6:39 pm

evanonut

hmm, i'm the only one shooting for shorter in my family. i'm 5-3, me moms 5-5. how'd i get ripped.

6:39 pm

EvaNadine

14 words left, all Ses and Ts, im afraid!

6:40 pm

maggiegirl

i can't get any of the puzzle done because I'm giggling at all your posts!

6:40 pm

renfield

anj - you're the same height as me

6:40 pm

Anj

...of course, if someone's drawn the short stop, there's always the milkman ; )

6:40 pm

snowyowl

I'd love to be tall. CATHBs husband is 6'4 and she's around 5'5 or 6 - He used to stand me on a chair to dance with me! - he can't lift me now tho'!

6:40 pm

Jacula

Nothing wrong with being short - you get rained on last! Helps to have a tall partner though - he can reach the high stuff and you can save him bending down for the low stuff.

6:41 pm

harpjane

Anyone have a clue for to 6/21? quickly, I only have 19 minutes before Dr. God pulls the plug!

6:41 pm

maggiegirl

well that and the fact I can't seem to find any words. . . .

6:41 pm

Jacula

Ooh! What I put sounded a bit rude. Wasn't meant to!

6:41 pm

Cathy

hi evanadine - wish I could tell you the S's and T's were easy, but can't say that was my experience :)

6:41 pm

Anj

It's a good height Ren : )

6:41 pm

cybernan

to 6/21: t+ not this one but the ot 5/12

6:42 pm

evanonut

sorry jac, i disagree, the tall partner is a draw back, when it comes to dancing anyway

6:42 pm

renfield

snowy - i always wanted to be smaller...all the guys were shorter than me

6:42 pm

snowyowl

LOl Jacula you're right tho' Hubby v. useful in Tesco's & I'm short enough to whip his wallet to pay!

6:43 pm

dsp0705

so 5/16 anyone?

6:43 pm

renfield

right - 1st pick for volley ball, basketball...base ball center field

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

ren - i always wanted to be taller...and blond and blue eyed and straight haired - LOL : D

6:43 pm

Cathy

Was just thinking the same thing, Ren ... I'm also 5'9" Not so bad now, but was a real bummer being the "tall girl in school" :)

6:43 pm

Jacula

Evanout - re the dancing. I don't think small men with tall dancing partners would agree. ;-)

I'm trying to persuade Paul to join a dancing class for our exercise regime. I'd hoped he'd been inspired by the Come Dancing series. I've always wanted to do the Tango with a rose between my teeth. No sense of rhythm though...:-(

6:44 pm

cybernan

so 5/16: plural of so 4/7

6:44 pm

harpjane

thanks. never heard of it!

6:44 pm

evanonut

72, i always wanted a smaller butt...still do

6:44 pm

renfield

lulu...no way!!!

6:44 pm

snowyowl

I think we'd all like to change something about us Renfeld - I'd love your curls and your height! We've only got what was dished out in the end tho'. I want a very fast metabolism & a dishwasher for Christmas next year LOL

6:45 pm

evanonut

confession...yes, sometimes those spandex tiger prints look better when not distorted.

6:45 pm

dsp0705

thanks cyber, can't believe I missed that one, I was going nuts

6:45 pm

Cathy

good point, snowy. can't say I've ever met anyone who didn't want to change something about themselves :)

6:45 pm

Renfield - I spend a fortune on shaggy perms from the 70s to the early 90s. My hair was always naturally dead straight. Now I'm older and want it to be straight it's started to go curly! Such is life! I think your hair's lovely, btw.

Cybernan -- Just looked at your profile and saw you're in BC. Only been there once -- stayed in Victoria a few days and then did the Alaska cruise out of Vancouver. But it was an absolutely GORGEOUS place and one I'd love to revisit once I retire !

6:58 pm

Anj

What happens at changeover then?? Only been near there once at the end of a pre-Pro option 431 mega-grid...

6:59 pm

Vancouver Island is a beautiful spot. I live in the southern interior in the Okanagan Valley -- Canada's answer to Napa

6:59 pm

Jacula

Anj - everything just kinda shimmers and then the new grid appears.

7:00 pm

Jacula

8:12 pm

markbowers7

i would...

8:12 pm

Cathyar

lol...oops...sorry <:) HI EVERYONE!!!!

8:13 pm

Cathyar

sure!!! A clue would be great!!! thanks mon!!!

8:14 pm

Eva

Does anyone have a list of the 7's they'd be willing to share?

8:14 pm

moncrunchr

st 8: if you were walking down a path and it had the MOST rocks and pebbles you'd ever seen, you say it was The ST****** path ever (rockiest)

as8: if you have the as 7/28, add the squiggly letter in @ 2nd place. (if not, let me know, i'll try a diff clue)

8:16 pm

markbowers7

dont's have the as7

8:16 pm

Cathyar

me neither...

8:18 pm

moncrunchr

Ok, from the st8 clue I just gave..... remove the LAST letter. Now stick the "a" on the beginning. :)

8:18 pm

vici

it's at 7/28, not as

8:19 pm

EvaNadine

lemme guess -- anj and lola have escaped, right?

8:20 pm

Cathyar

as also bowers!!!

8:21 pm

Cathyar

thanx so much mon

8:22 pm

markbowers7

thx for the 8's...i think i might call it quits...

8:24 pm

moncrunchr

viki, we are working on both 'as' words and 'at' words. If u 'work backwards' and get your as8, you'll have an at7 too :)

anybody need anything else?

8:24 pm

Cathyar

45 left...but i might have to say g'nite too.

8:25 pm

moncrunchr

You guys are more discliplined than me. I stayed up til 4:30 am finishing..... (duh!)

8:25 pm

vici

so is there an as7/28 then?

8:26 pm

misstearweus

good evening everyone. any clue on the so 5/16?

8:27 pm

moncrunchr

no viki, there is an at7..... same as 'as8' without the 's' in the 2nd position :)

8:27 pm

vici

your previous posts said as7/28... now I'm confused :)

8:27 pm

Cathyar

10:30 here...well...almost... got a little one to get up in the a.m.. for school so.... well...i think i'm off..thank for yer help MON!!!

8:29 pm

Cathyar

OH>>>btw... just remove the "s" from yer as 8/40

8:29 pm

Cathyar

the first one that is... nitenite

8:29 pm

Eva

misstear-oddly enough the so5/16 is the plural of the oppostie of h___

8:29 pm

moncrunchr

In case any of you newer Babblers haven't found it yet, there is link to clues/stats here: On the right side of the page under 'Friends of Babble', at the bottom of that list click 'Babblers Anonymous'. Then click GENERAL, then " Stats Puzzle 1015".... This should help!

8:32 pm

moncrunchr

my fault, i orig. should have said at7, not as7

8:33 pm

misstearweus

Eva, what is h___? h4? h5?

8:34 pm

Eva

sorry-the h isn't in the puzzle. I was jsut trying to make it a little less obvious, but was confusing instead. The opposite of hard has a plural - who knew?!

8:35 pm

misstearweus

Thanks! I had to many of opposite of hard I was getting lost in them. Just 8 to go...

8:36 pm

Bamis7

i cannot get the es word

8:36 pm

Eva

I still have 42 to go so will probably not finish. But do you have a list of all the 7's you could share (point counts and lengths)?

8:37 pm

Thanks! Now I need to go silent for a few minutes while I hunt.

8:45 pm

Eva

Okay, I'm missing the di7/36 and one of the so7/40's. Any clues? I have the so7/40 from the unhard root. The most unhard one.

8:46 pm

misstearweus

the other so is from the same root

8:47 pm

misstearweus

di 7 = meal plan + female pronoun

8:49 pm

Eva

Thans so much!!! The 7's are done.

8:50 pm

Eva

36 left. It's always hard to walk away when it's this close, but my body is saying that I need to. Maybe the babble faeries will come in the night and type in the rest?

8:51 pm

Eva

keep wanting tontine to be there.

8:52 pm

misstearweus

I had the flu the week of Christmas. I couldn't babble at all. By the time I got the computer, I had used all my energy; there was nothing left to type with.

8:54 pm

Eva

good night everyone. See you tomorrow. Is there a theme for tomorrow?

9:06 pm

JoJoFunLvg

I am still puzzling. Dr. God, are you fooling us again? It is after 8:00 pm central, I am on the westcoast, but it is after 7:00 pm and am still being able to babble. You know, you can update your system, after 10:00pm. Be nice if you would.

9:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Anyone There?

9:19 pm

mas

Hi JoJo, I'm still here. Just trying to get some words in before it goes down.

9:20 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mas: It should have gone down 20 minutes ago. Dr. God said 8:00 CT, that is 7:00 PT. What is up with that?

9:22 pm

mas

I think it should have gone down 1 hour and 20 mins. ago?

9:22 pm

vici

You forgot MT is in between CT and PT. It should have gone down 1 hr 20 min ago. Down to the last 29!

9:23 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Is Dr. God fooling with our minds ~~ again?

9:26 pm

mas

Good for you Vici. I just started. There is an added rush not knowing when it will go down!

9:27 pm

mas

It is very slow though. My posts are taking quite a while.

9:27 pm

vici

Oh I know! hehe I kind of like it this way. :)

9:47 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Vici: Yes, I was bit screwed up on my time zones. However, as I see it, if Dr. God said 8:00pm Central time, it should have closed down on PT at 6:00pm. I am still babbling. What is up with that?

9:48 pm

vici

dunno... just keep going, I guess! :)

9:59 pm

maggiegirl

so, when the server goes down, does it takes us all down with it???

9:59 pm

circe

*waves*
good evening everyone

10:01 pm

maggiegirl

testing out my new pic

10:01 pm

mas

I don't have any idea maggiegirl. The anticipation is killing me. I still have 52 to go.

10:02 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Hi Maggiegirl and Circe: By my calculation, the server should have been down over 2 hrs ago. I still babbling tho.

10:02 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi everyone!!

Who needs clues?

10:03 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Where have you been. Thought you were down per Dr. God, but guess we are still all babbling.

10:03 pm

maggiegirl

if you give clues, i would love them!

10:04 pm

mas

Hi GreyWoulf. Your icon looks exactly like my dog tonight. He is a St. Bernard - Husky mix and weighs over 200 lbs.

10:05 pm

maggiegirl

my picture on my profile keeps changing!

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- I was working closing shift today and had to do some grocery shopping before eating dinner and checking in :)

So, I finished before signing off this AM -- tell me what you need and I'll help best I can ;)

10:06 pm

maggiegirl

would love clues for the f words. . . not the "f word" but the f words

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

mas -- that's a lot of dog!! :D

10:07 pm

LeslieAnn

as 8/40?

10:07 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Why are we still on? Dr. God said 8:00pm central, that is 6:00pm PT. Another testing by Dr. God?

10:08 pm

vici

ty GreyWoulf.. I am still stuck on the second so6/27 and so7/40... also the of6/27

10:08 pm

maggiegirl

or any of the r's

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

ALL of them, maggie?

as8 -- drop the last letter of the st8 (most rock like) and put the a in front

10:09 pm

LeslieAnn

aha, thanks gw

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- no clue -- Dr God is a very busy man -- maybe something came up *shrug*

10:11 pm

maggiegirl

you know, I have given up on using the list on the other page and just use the stats on this page - I'm an under achiever on this game right now. I'm radomly woking and am on the r's right now. I can just listen to the clues you are giving others and that helps!

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

2nd so6/27 -- one pillow is more so4/7 than the other

so7/40 is plural of the 3rd so6/27 -- a grump who secretly loves kittens is nothing more than a big so6

10:13 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Does that mean that tomorrow nite we will have the same trauma, as last nite, trying to solve babble in a hurry? Hope not. Hope he updates AFTER 10:00 pm. Nice to have you back chatting.

10:14 pm

vici

aha.. the grump clue did it for me.. TY!!!

10:14 pm

maggiegirl

i like the rush of knowing this will all stop at any moment! Someone knows what they are doing out there in babbleland. . .

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Lol, maggie -- I'll do what I can then -- you've got the right attitude though, so stop putting yourself down! You are not an underachiever, you set reasonable goals!

10:14 pm

LeslieAnn

vici, i have the of 6... of + exam

10:15 pm

vici

ty LeslieAnn!

10:15 pm

maggiegirl

lol at a grump loving kittens

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- I have no clue what goes on with Dr_God -- having never met the man I know nothing about him -- though the tension does add a certain 'edge' to the game, don't you think? ;D

10:17 pm

LeslieAnn

oh sure, gw, if you've already finished! ;)

10:18 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Yeah, it adds to the game because you never know when you are going to be clicked off. But, actually, I expected Dr. God to HONEST!

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Leslie -- I still have to worry about whether I can type fast enough to give the clues before the axe drops :D

10:19 pm

LeslieAnn

well i don't think it would be that fair if it did now -- i went and did stuff from 8 to 10, then came back for the last two hours

10:20 pm

vici

ugh.. one more pls... ta6/18.. it's driving me crazy! (the one with no tongue)

10:21 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- Now, now -- haven't you ever had a repairman tell you he couldn't do something because something else interfered? Dr God is not intentionally playing games with us -- though if you email him direct I am sure he will give you an apology at the very least --- He does care about us and our feelings :)

10:21 pm

nava

hey why is dr god going to shut it down? updates, or something new? does anyone know?

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

ta6/18 -- there are two of them

both build off the 5 -- to take a sample bite is to ta*** it

1st 6 is one who takes the bite
1nd 6 is the plural of the word

10:23 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Pleeze two nites in a row????!! Pleeze. Yes, people do make mistakes, BUT two nites in a row???

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

nava -- he said he has to do some repairs to the site, so probably the server needs some updates

10:23 pm

vici

lol duh.. I think that's a sign I should go to bed. Night all. :)

10:23 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, i got the impression it wasn't anything new, just maintenance

10:24 pm

nava

oh, thanks, i was just wondering.

10:24 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Vici: good nite

10:25 pm

mamabear

Good evening all!!!!!!

10:25 pm

mas

Good Night vici. How close did you get?

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- my mother in law had to wait 3 months for her stove top to be replaced because the person who was doing the job kept getting hassles from the supplier -- he gave her a total of 5 different promise dates! but the supplier was messing up the repair guy -- out of his control

10:26 pm

JoJoFunLvg

MamaBear: So glad to hear from you tonite, even to Dr. God said we were suppose to be down by now. Where have you been?

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite vici -- Sleep Well

10:26 pm

LeslieAnn

bear down, mama! did you get tickets?

10:27 pm

vici

158. I think my brain's about ready to shut down for the night. ;)

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey MAMA -- one of the people I was hoping to see tonight!!! Kirsten wants to know how you are feeling today -- any better? :)

(*Hug*)

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

vici -- there are only 169 -- so you done real good!!

10:28 pm

mamabear

today was my daughter's 19th birthday.... went out to lunch and shopping, then came home and had cake & presents for her and I... we always celebrate together since our birthdays are a day apart. Today is the first day I have been out of the house since last week Wednesday. Was getting cabin fever.

10:28 pm

mas

That's great vici...my brain is about there too. Good night

10:28 pm

LeslieAnn

vici, if you ask nicely we can help you get the last 11 ;)

10:29 pm

mamabear

No LeslieAnn, no tickets!!! I just enjoy watching from the warmness of my living room!!!!

10:30 pm

LeslieAnn

oh, me too, just didn't know if your icon was a sign of victory from this morning or anything ;)

10:30 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: I kind of got the impression that Dr. God was the head of this website. Someone who is employed by someone else to fix something is not the boss. That's all I am saying. Dr. God posted when we were going to be clicked off, and it didn't happen 2 days in a row. Note that I am complaining, just asking. Enjoy talking with you GW.

10:30 pm

mamabear

Thanks GW!!!! You always make me smile... I am not playing the grid, just popped in to say hello. I am feeling better today, still coughing quite a bit, but have more strength. I think getting out of the house did me good. Please tell Kirsten thanks for her concern!

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

maggie -- for the f's

1st fe5 -- to make a false attack in order to distrat an opponent is to make a fe***
2nd fe5 -- a small mongrel dog -- change the 4th consonant
both can be pluralled for 6's

10:31 pm

JoJoFunLvg

GW: Sorry, meant to say "not" complaining. Too much grape juice tonite.

10:32 pm

LeslieAnn

haha that changes the meaning quite a bit jo. no more grape juice for you, you're cut off!

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds like you had a really good day, Mamabear -- we are both happy to hear that --- Glad to hear your cub had a great day too! ;)

10:33 pm

mamabear

LeslieAnn - I see in your bio you live in Chicago Suburbs??? Which one?

10:33 pm

LeslieAnn

lisle at the moment

10:35 pm

JoJoFunLvg

LeslieAnn: Yeah, yeah.

10:36 pm

mamabear

Yes, GW - it was a good day - any day I spend with my daughter is a good day... she is a joy... I know you understand that!!!!! *wink*

10:37 pm

JoJoFunLvg

MamaBear and GW: Any day spent with your kids is a good day and a blessing.

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

some other f's for you maggie --

fe5/18 -- having an offensive odor

add an o to get the fo6/30

fo6/27 -- to nurture or encourage someone, also an Australian beer

there are a few more 5's that are plurals of 4's

the 4's -- a greek cheese, a party, enemies, to worry, and a baptismal basin

10:39 pm

harpjane

Hello. I'm back for my last 30 words. Did Dr. God finish the maintenance? Or was he just teasing again?

10:39 pm

mamabear

You are absolutely correct JoJo!!!

10:39 pm

LeslieAnn

just teasing jane!

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA -- this is a pretty good grid, only 169 and most of the words jump out at you -- I was able to finish before I wnet to bed this AM which normally only happens with the teeny tinies ;)

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi harp -- so far, no repairs :\

Need any help?

10:40 pm

JoJoFunLvg

MamaBear: So glad you are feeling better. See things do normally have a happy ending.

10:40 pm

mamabear

WOW GW, that's pretty quick!!!! I am enticed, but not foolish (or well enough) to begin it now. Just wanted to say hello .... will be heading to bed soon.

10:41 pm

mamabear

thank you JoJo!!!!!

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey, can't blame a guy for trying, MAMA ;)

Did you get any Lemon Zinger while you were out and about?

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

maggie -- are you still with us?

10:44 pm

BaileyBrat

Hello

10:45 pm

mamabear

No I didn't - did not go to a grocery store. It is on my list though... I like lemonade, I'm hoping it tastes more lemony than like tea. I never drink tea or coffee..

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi BaileyBrat -- I don't remember seeing you before --- new to the game or the log? Or have I just missed you in the past?

10:45 pm

mamabear

Hi BaileyBrat!!!! Welcome to Babbleonia!

10:46 pm

LeslieAnn

hi bailey

10:47 pm

BaileyBrat

I started the chat room a few days ago

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama -- Kirsten says it has almost actual tea flavor at all -- it doesn't have any black tea in it --- and if you add some lemon juice you boost the lemon flavor even more :)

10:48 pm

mas

Hi Baily. Could I get a clue for a DI7. Not the one that starts with my New Years Res.

10:48 pm

nava

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Bailey -- then welcome to the pack and Well Met! How were your holidays?

10:48 pm

harpjane

10:48 pm

JoJoFunLvg

BaileyBrat ~ from now on to me you are BB: Welcome to Babble. How are you doing with babble tonite? Especially since we were suppose to be shut down a few hours ago.

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

mas - the 2nd di7 --- looks like far away but misspelled

10:49 pm

BaileyBrat

they were awesome and fun

10:49 pm

circe

ugh, why am I always stuck on the last word?
Can someone please help me with the ts 6???

10:50 pm

LeslieAnn

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

10:50 pm

GreyWoulf

10:50 pm

BaileyBrat

LeslieAnn

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

circe -- it's kinda like how you always find something in the last place you look ;D

10:51 pm

mamabear

Cool icon, btw, GW!! I had to focus on it for a minute to see what it was - almost looks like four fingers from a huge hand (of the abominable snowman maybe?) above the wolf's head on the right side!!!!!

10:51 pm

circe

woo hoo! thank you Leslie and GW
I am finished with bare minutes to spare! :)

10:52 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Nite all.

10:52 pm

mas

Yea Circle. Good night JoJo. How did you do?

10:53 pm

LeslieAnn

bare minutes? we've got over an hour. clearly you are not a veteran procrastinator. ;)

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite JoJo -- see you tomorrow -- Pleasant Dreams and Sweet Slumber unto you :)

10:53 pm

LeslieAnn

10:53 pm

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

11:01 pm

cybernan

Did everyone finish?

11:02 pm

mas

I'm back. I got distracted listening to the news of the 12 miners being found alive. What a blessing.

11:02 pm

renfield

i still have about 17....

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you mas -- we hadn't heard that here yet --- Kirsten just did a happy dance :)

11:03 pm

cybernan

That is great news, mas -- they were still working rescue ops. when our dinner time news was on.

11:03 pm

renfield

oh mas - that is wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!1

11:03 pm

mas

One was found dead closer to the enterance of the mine.

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

Ren -- what do you need? I got done early today for a change :)

11:04 pm

renfield

i'm just about to check the stats wolfie...

11:06 pm

cybernan

If you're going to hang around to help Ren, GW, -- I'll log off for now.

11:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Feel free to take off, c-nan -- the pack is in good paws :

11:09 pm

mab

12 of the miners were found alive? That's incredible news! The probe the rescuers had sent down found only carbon monoxide -- things looked very grim. I was a little bit sick about the whole thing. You've brightened my day considerably mas. Thank you.

11:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi mab!

11:11 pm

renfield

hi mab!!!

11:11 pm

mab

Hi GW -- isn't that almost miraculous news?

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

It is absolutey fantabulous news, mab! We have had too many unhappy endings in the news lately

11:12 pm

mab

Ren, such a pretty picture of you!

11:13 pm

renfield

thanks mab - 8)

11:15 pm

mab

During the hurricane in NO an elderly woman awoke to find she was floating on her mattress. She was incredibly sanguine in describing how she knew someone would come save her. In the meantime she paddled over to the kitchen and found some crackers. I love that story.

11:18 pm

mab

I'm going to check out the news.

11:19 pm

renfield

ok mab

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

So ren -- have you figured out what you need yet?

No pressure -- it's just I don't get to give you clues that often -- role reversal is fun ;D

11:20 pm

LeslieAnn

wooo and i'm done

11:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Yayyyy for Leslie!!!

(*Happy dance and hug*)

11:23 pm

Funkylady

Hello Everyone, I live about an hour from the site of the mine disaster. I only knew one of the men and unfortunately he was the one who didn't make it out. A
very nice person, 48 years old.

11:24 pm

renfield

wolfie di 7 ?

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry about the loss of your friend, Funkylady-- but from the news reports so far -- he died in the act of saving the others

(*hug*)

11:26 pm

renfield

so very sorry funkylady....

11:27 pm

Funkylady

Thank you. Yes, he was the fire boss. My son-in-law and 2 grandsons work in the mines. Not that one though. It is a constant worry.

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

ren -- there are 2

1st di7 -- no def, but take the 6 before it and add an h in the middle
2nd di7 -- looks like a misspelling of far away

11:28 pm

renfield

thanks wolfie - was the 1st *)

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

no prob, ren -- always glad to help out :)

11:33 pm

renfield

last to 7 ?

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

last to7 -- if one To** Orlando impersonator is better than all the others in the world, you might call him the to7

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

or more simply put -- drop the s off the st8 :D

11:37 pm

renfield

LOL wolfie!!! thanks -

11:45 pm

GreyWoulf
