12:15 am
sprite
I love that so very much, Woulf :D
Bye Griffs :( Hope you'll be back soon.
Spam is no word, just the utter example of how respectless people can become when nobody is seeing them doing it.

Right, we have 216 words / 4.81 average length / 2635 points to hunt for today. Wonderful grid.

Good luck hunting and thanks for the great company!

4:13 am

you know we were doing a song the other day, well there's a parody of Your'e Beautiful at www.-eclectech.co.uk, here's a taster- my voice is silly and my songs are poor, Youll keep on listening to this manure etc then your'e gullible etc
4:13 am
SunnFlower
hi trish
4:15 am
mrpresident
will take a listen
4:15 am
mrpresident
Sorry folks, legal threats mean the parodied version of the song is currently offline. The animation and tomato splatting are still available, and our version of the lyrics are online so you can all sing along (let's face it, you know the tune)
4:16 am
SunnFlower
we can always hope molecule is sp6/27
4:17 am
mrpresident
ferr... are you watching the hewitt match? chela is slapping him a little~! I don't know if he will survive this one!!
4:18 am
SunnFlower
It must be back because I've just been listening to it, it's hilarious much better than the original which makes me run from the room although I almost like it I'm sick of it
4:20 am
mrpresident
ferr... I can't get it... can view the lyrics and that's all! Bugger... hey!!?
4:20 am
SunnFlower
no, Eurosport the only channel to show it is only downstairs.Does Susan Kennedy survive that plane crash, please tell me if you know, I know I'm sad but I love Neighbours
4:22 am
SunnFlower
the web site tells you to go to stablesound which is just on the left of the page, I clicked there
4:23 am
mrpresident
'fraid not! off the link now!
4:24 am
SunnFlower
try later
4:32 am
SunnFlower
why won't that po6/21 take a d on the end so one could be po***ed instead of pi**ed
4:34 am
mrpresident
ferr... I would think you are the master of words, so it should be!!
4:34 am
mrpresident
ferr... you know what hurts!!??....
4:37 am
mrpresident
.... that 'mole' was an aussie... what bad press for us!
4:37 am
SunnFlower
what hurts and did you mean SK didn't survive , OMG I've just realiised she's nearly got my maiden name my name had an o instead of an ed then jiggled a bit
4:38 am
SunnFlower
I'm sure molecule is the exception
4:38 am

Ferrari - Susan does survive.
4:40 am
mrpresident
thanks Atal... so did I! about 15 minutes ago... and I gave my apologies for all Australian on babble !!
4:40 am
trishtrash
I have it on good authority that *someone* dies in that crash. I think SK is a little too well loved to kill off, though.
Atlante: I emailed this morning, too :) No doubt our Dr_God will have a full inbox today ;)
4:40 am
Atalante
and Karl realises he still lurrrrrves her
4:40 am

good for you Atalante.

It's the junior Bishops who don't make it.

Not any more.....
4:42 am

Mrpresident wasn't thant molecule the one being arsey the other day?
4:44 am

4:44 am
Haz1558
Molecule - the name describes the size of his brain....
4:45 am
Haz1558
Poor Harold, indeed!
4:45 am
SunnFlower
That big Haz!
4:46 am
Haz1558
You think I'm being too generous?!

Haz1558
He has no manners, anyway.
4:47 am
SunnFlower
that's for sure
4:48 am
Atalante
does Dylan survive?
4:48 am
Haz1558
Yes - goes on the run with Connor.
4:48 am
Bubbles
he/she was being funny the other day but no where near as bad as today.
4:48 am
mrpresident
Molecule.... should FO and shut his pie-hole!!
4:49 am

Dach... it is unfortunate but true in this grid...
5:29 am
Dachef
I do not need any viagra, thankyo very much, and I have no interest in increasing in size any part of my body, and even if I was, do you really think that the most intimate part of my body would be butchered by a load of itinerant spam merchants who cant even spell?
Anyway, rant over.
5:30 am
mrpresident
can you PLEASE just spell out the last re6/21.... I am blind!!
5:31 am
trishtrash
I have two of those, mrp... the last is re+ notice (or blemish)

SunnFlower
polly isn't allowed either

SunnFlower
nor is gullible
5:34 am

everyone needs a dog licence or we can't walk our dogs!
5:57 am
granadan
not in the uk - abolished when i was a wee thing.
5:57 am
mrpresident
gran... recheck the laws
5:58 am
SunnFlower
gran I think they may have brought it
5:58 am
granadan
I have five dogs, breed and show them. We do not have dog licences. they were costing more to enforce than the govt were getting. voted out in the 80s
5:59 am
SunnFlower
oops, back at least for some breeds, not sure
5:59 am
granadan
mind you - they were 13.5p i think so no wonder!
6:00 am
granadan
not in this country. pit bulls have to be neutered and muzzled in public places, but we dont have licenses for dogs
6:00 am
mrpresident
ferr... what breeds do you have/show??
6:01 am
SunnFlower
none now, used to have a lovely Golden Lab
6:01 am
mrpresident
neutered and muzzled!! OMG!! that is so strict!!
6:01 am
SunnFlower
there was talk about bringing them back wasn't there?
6:02 am
trishtrash
Isn't Haz in Ireland? I think they may still have dog licensing there.
6:02 am
granadan
yep, they are lovely dogs, sadly owned here mainly by idiots.
6:03 am
SunnFlower
aah,that would explain it trish
6:03 am
mrpresident
mind you... that just was passed in the last week here and not allowed to breed/sell them either... it applies to 5 different breeds now and the fines are $20,000 if you walk without a muzzle and $55,000 if you breed!!
6:03 am
granadan
no talk of bringing them back - lots of talk of breed specific legislation - watch out if you own a rottie, a stasffy, a bully or a neo.... get political, it will happen if we dnt keep awake.
6:04 am
granadan
bsl went through? where are you?
6:04 am
Atalante
whats a neo?
6:04 am
granadan
neopolitan mastiff.
6:05 am

6:33 am
mrpresident
dacher.... I learnt alot from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... seasons 1, 2 and 3
6:34 am
SunnFlower
mrp, I love Buffy, and Alias too, women who kick ass
6:35 am
Dachef
when you look at Baywatch (and Buffy - SMG, ooooooo), and see all these really beautiful people, and your hormones are al over the place, you quickly have to discover exactly why you are getting excited. I learnt from a very early age - Mr Hasselhoff, no thanks, Miss Anderson, bring it on.
6:35 am
SunnFlower
now there's a man, Giles and also Vaughn
6:36 am
SunnFlower
dachef you could be in denial! lol
6:36 am
mrpresident
Nikita rocked too!!
6:37 am
SunnFlower
and Nip/Tuck, not Christian the other one
6:38 am
SunnFlower
Sean, that's it
6:38 am
Uneaixoise
but Christian's much hotter
6:38 am
mrpresident
I luuuuurvv Nip/Tuck... That is such a wrong concept!! But so sexual!!!
6:39 am
Dachef
nope, still does nothing for me, although I can appreciate their aesthetic beauty.
6:40 am
mrpresident
Dach... tell me Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) does nothing for you?? Please!! Can't be
6:40 am
mrpresident
He is BI-everyone- loves- him!!
6:41 am
Dachef
sorry MrP - give me Miss Geller every time. Me and my sis have this argument all the time, she is a massive Spike fan.
6:42 am
SunnFlower
oh this is no good, all this distraction, Spike, I miss you. cheekbones to die for
6:42 am
mrpresident
Funny story to tell you all
My Mother-in-law was looking at clothing for my unborn baby... and picked up a lovely lime coloured jumpsuit... and said...
"What a lovely BiSexual colour!"
I shook my head and said... "Don't you mean UniSex?"
6:42 am
SunnFlower
amongst other things!
6:43 am

ah yes, the process of imposing roles on babies! Fabulous!

Good morning all!
Sorry about the icon. I know it's pretty feeble, but whatever volcanoes we ever had in Vermont are long extinguished and softened. For those who can't read the small print, this is Vermont Volcano Mustard.
6:45 am
Dachef
Hi Eva! Dont worry - on this side of the pond the closest we ever get to a volcano is my ex mother in law.
6:45 am
SunnFlower
another funny story, my daughter knows someone who was in a lift and 2 big black guys got in and said down, so they got on the floor, later they found their bill had been paid because it was Will Smith, and he'd had the biggest laugh in years
6:46 am
gramma
I love it, eva

Hi Une..! Great to see you!!
I have about a zillion of those funnies!! my family is indeed 'blessed' with stupidity!

6:48 am
Eva
gramma are you on nice safe high ground? For once we didn't lose our power, and had just very high winds and a dusting of snow overnight. But there seemed to be quite a bit of flooding around Montpelier yesterday. Not terribloe, but pretty soggy.
6:48 am
Uneaixoise
one of my relatives told us she wanted the organist to play "that Spanish classic" as she walked down the aisle at her wedding . . . turns out she was referring to Ave Maria :/

6:51 am
Dachef
and the al4/6 is a friend...
6:52 am
Eva
I've never been to MIddlebury. Here in Adamant we are high up too, so just the winds. But there's only so many mud seasons any human being should be subjected to in a single year!
6:52 am

Amen, sister :}

My daughter (7 years old) and I were driving along and happened apon my husband and son on the side of the road...
I said to my daughter... "yell obseneties at them out the window"....
She poised herself at the window and yelled "OBSENETIES!"...
6:56 am
SunnFlower
I can just imagine, that's hilarious
6:57 am
mrpresident
'what's obseneties mean mummy?'.... ROFLMAO!!
6:58 am
EvaNadine
mornin babblers!
hows the grid today??
6:58 am
Eva
gramma, when my god daughter first went to kindergarden they were asksed to name the seasons of the year and she, of course, said "Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, Mud". But this year it's been more like: Summer, Fall, Mud, Winter, Spring, Mud, Winter, Spring, Mud". Stuck in a mud loop. The mud/ice combo is a particular favorite of mine.
6:58 am
SunnFlower
hi evan, it's a nice grid today
6:58 am

afternoon grides good today

To all newcomers, please note that we only have half a grid in play today! Can you imagine if there were a few more vowels in strategic places - this woulda been a beast!!!
7:13 am

Sorry, I was the one who needed to update... hadn't refreshed since I was on in the wee hours..

Ok, have to go to bed now!!
Will finish the other half later... have a good day/night all!
7:15 am
BillF
A Challenge: This won't work for those of you who love to communicate via the chat log, but...For a real challenge, try to get as many words as possible with no clues, no help, just your brain power. I'm amazed at how many people get the same top score, all that seems to matter is who is first! Try doing it without the total words, the total score, the 1st letter count or the letter count. Can you even get 15%? Try it!
7:15 am
Jera
mrpresident... when are you due?
7:16 am
SunnFlower
night night mrp, sleep tight
7:16 am

I did that this morning and got 162 in one hour. :D

Jeepers Jera, I say howdy and you jump me on my icon???You should be banned from babble for life :D
7:16 am
Jera
BillF... I can usually do about half, but I've learned some of the wierdo words...
7:17 am
Jera
Sorry gramma... that was very rude. I sincerely apologize... the two together while I was eating made me act very badly...
7:17 am
SunnFlower
Billf, I do that everyday, can get about three quarters without any help, there's no challenge otherwise
7:18 am
EvaNadine
just keep in mind, not everyone is here to finish the puzzle...and not everyone is here to achieve the top score...
personally, i play to pass the time while im at work...haha
7:19 am
Eva
gramma-I think that those of us who live in New England have highly developed amnesiac abilities....otherwise we couldn't do it. Gee whiz....it's cold and grey again....what a surprise!". It's funny, when we first moved from Massachsuetts(not your tropical paradise either) to Vermont, we had this image of all these hardy oldtimers hunkering down for the winters. Come to find out almost all of them split for Florida in January and don't come back until May.
Adamant is also Blackfly capitol of the world. There are about 2-3 glorious weeks in May when it is not freezing and there are no bloodsucking hordes. It feels like paradise. Then they descend and one can't be outside for any extended period of time without wearing bug bafflers(you can look them up on the web). I'd like to invite everyone to Adamant's annual Black Fly Festival.

Oh dear, I was too late to chat with mp... I hate chat lag... makes one look silly sometimes...

7:22 am

Jera... mine are 6 & 7 and I LOVE baby stories... I have a business in baby goods!! It is my pride and joy!!
7:22 am

Speaking of dreary weather... I always get the urge to run away to Australia come February in Virginia...
But today & tomorrow we will get a taste of Spring... high 50's & sunny... I may die from shock...
7:24 am
Jera
What a sweet occupation, mp... you are lucky to do something you love...
I hate to ask after embarrassing myself earlier... but does your icon have anything to do with volcanoes? Or are you sitting this theme out?
7:25 am
bunnyvicious
Don't guess I've ever heard the killer bunny story, glad I make you think happy thoughts though!
I'd kill for some cold weather, we haven't dropped below 70 degrees but a few times and desperately need rain. Looks like no winter this year...
7:25 am
mrpresident
Jera, we don't have any volcanic activity of any sory in australia.... so am sitting this out with a flamingo!! The firey bird!!
7:26 am

Ah, I see... I like it when people have clever icons for the theme... explanation is good conversation...

*begin rant*
it really, really, REALLY bothers me when people in the cafeteria cant be bothered to purchase a small carton of milk for their cereal, but instead open the carton, pour milk on their cereal, and put the carton back in the refrigerated case. i think its ride, cheap, and disgusting -- who wants the milk youve already opened? and for those of us who want to buy a carton, now half of them are already opened or theres non left!
*GRRR!!!!*
*end rant*
7:59 am
caitlyn
Bye Babbler.....enjoy your rest catch you later lolx
8:00 am

ooooh! I've just broken the 1000 mark in Who's Hot! Wow! How cheering! :) (dropped like a 100 points in rankings cos of Christmas though :/)
8:00 am
Babbler
(((Evanadine)))) we hear you, hun :(
8:02 am
EvaNadine
heh, im ok babbler, that kinda stuff just really frustrates me.
i went to buy cereal this morning, and the only non-fat milk was an open carton. luckily we also have a little shop in our building, so i had to run over there to buy my own carton of milk.
these are tiny cartons...why is it so hard for people to just BUY one?
8:09 am
Babbler
lots of people are wasteful.... :/
8:10 am
EvaNadine
i guess in their mind, they see it just the other way -- they know they wont use the whole carton, so they wanna leave the rest for someone else who can use it.
but really...who wants to take milk out of a carton that has already had someone elses fingers all over the spout?
*ick*
8:12 am
Babbler
ick indeed! I wouldn't....! :/

Evanadine, I'd love to 'help' you get my last ma6 ;)

8:37 am
EvaNadine
not sure how many Ma6 there are...
the last one i have right now is a hammer-type thing
8:38 am
Dachef
there are 4 mi6 all in a row - all have the same first 5 letters.....
8:38 am

4x ma6 in a row, Evanadine, and they are very similar. One has a rather unusual ending.

8:40 am
trishtrash
Thanks, Dachef, just needed to know I was on the right route... got it now :)
8:41 am
Jen
All I have is the to8, and it's the things at the end of your feet + something you eat off of.
8:41 am
trishtrash
se8 .. from se5/12 .. a plant is this.
8:41 am
trishtrash
to8
compound word... digit on foot + something you eat from
8:42 am
trishtrash
re8 .. to re6/21 (the voting one) again
8:42 am
EvaNadine
thanks trish!
8:43 am
Dachef
8's:
re8 : to collect the votes again.
se8: to contain a part of a flower (extension of se5)
to8: compound word, the things on the end of your feet plus the thing you eat off.
8:43 am
trishtrash
alternative se8 clue:
se + gloom + past tense ending
8:44 am
EvaNadine
got all 3, thanks!
8:45 am
trishtrash
sorry about the re8 clue ... should have read:
to re po6/21 again
8:48 am
trishtrash
note to self:
when your last word is an AL5, monkey-typing AM words isn't going to help. *tsk*
8:49 am
EvaNadine
the only AL5 i have is a narrow passageway between 2 buildings...usually dark and dank
8:49 am
trishtrash
see... it's easy when you use the right letters.... *slaps self with fish*
I'm done... anyone want clues before I go?
8:50 am
trishtrash
Evandine, there's another that's almost the same... double the last vowel.

Good morning ... have about 20 minutes before I head out to the dentist's.
10:39 am
cybernan
any clues on the et's?
10:39 am
bunnyvicious
Morning Nan, nothing better than a trip to the dentist to ruin your day? Just a check up?
10:42 am
cybernan
No Bunny -- a consultation for braces! --- last visit, he told me it would take two years to straighten my teeth. I just LOL and said I'd get straight teeth and the OAP the same year, then.
10:43 am
spellit
et5/12 is a Russian prison plus et6 is plural
10:43 am
bunnyvicious
OAP?
10:45 am
spellit
OAP = old age pensioner but more politically correct (yuk!) is senior citizen in UK
10:45 am
Coolbear
AL 4*6 word hint please
10:46 am
bunnyvicious
shorten the 5/14 before it
10:47 am
bunnyvicious
Oh, like social security or medicaid I guess? You reach retirement age and your dental visits are covered by the pension?
10:48 am
cybernan
Russian prison clue doesn't help -- don't know much about Russia!
10:50 am
bunnyvicious
I could use dome dental work, had my wisdoms removed and now my teeth have spread, but my husband just got a new job and we can't get insured for a year through them! Dental work is EXPENSIVE, especially for what little is involved sometimes....
10:51 am
cybernan
Bunny, in Canada everyone gets a cheque from the government after age 65 --- mind you, most of it is clawed back in taxes, depending on your income. Those that have been in the workforce also have paid into the Canada Pension Plan -- cheques from that come after age 60 (if you have retired).
10:51 am
spellit
OK Nan try public storehouse or the place where troops halt overnight?
10:54 am
cybernan
gotta run -- will get back to the et's on my return. :)
Mamabear if you're out there -- hoping for the best.

How can spam not be a word?
11:09 am
Karys
and spottle...!!!.....things get spottled with ink, and soup, and squash and...and....and....
11:09 am
DarleenMB
spam is a trademarked name, that's why
11:09 am
bunnyvicious
what about spam, like junk mail
11:10 am
DarleenMB
shrug ... dunno. The dictionary is way out of date and, to my mind, uses made up stuff. but that's just my opinion. ;-)
11:11 am
bunnyvicious
Truthfully, do you want it updated and just that many more words added to the list?
11:16 am
DarleenMB
in a word ... YES.
11:16 am
hurshy
hello, volcano-ites. a fitting theme for how i feel today.

bunnyvicious
Hello

11:20 am
hurshy
you could say that, bunny.
11:21 am
KRISTINAROSE333
when you have 216 words and 2635 points..
11:21 am
Molecule
I can't believe you losers actually pay to get a shitty little icon and flag
11:21 am
hurshy
molecule, if you mean the second letter listing, we can get it from bab anon. if you mean the whole words - we never post those, it is very very not good.
11:21 am
bunnyvicious
You know if you upgrade, if not, babblers anon posts a list of 2nd letter words and how many words are in the grid for the day.
11:22 am
hurshy
molecule - actually, most of us paid bc we want to support the site, which we enjoy.
11:22 am
bunnyvicious
Yeah, that $10 really seared my pocket book. Heaven forbid you contribute to a site you enjoy!
11:22 am
Molecule
yeah bullshiit
11:23 am
Karys
ty hurshy.....couldn't have put it better !!!
11:23 am
caitlyn
Here here hurshy What makes us losers please?
11:24 am
Karys
Good heavens....you are a sad soul Molecule
11:24 am
hurshy
i really fail to see the resemblance between a donation of a few dollars and the excrement of any farm animal.
11:24 am
Molecule
well, the fact that you pay money tyo look at a screen and type in letters... everyday
11:24 am
Molecule
nah... I'm not sad, far from it....
11:25 am
caitlyn
Why are YOU playing Mole
11:25 am
Karys
well you don't sound very happy !
11:25 am
bunnyvicious
Aids in typing skills and vocabulary. Better than some of those Playstation games....
11:25 am
hurshy
however foolhardy you may think it, the fact is that it still has no relation to feces whatsoever.
11:26 am
Molecule
well, some dipshiit friend of mine gave me a link to this game, god... lonely people you are
11:26 am
Jessie1
Molecule, ejoy this site!
11:26 am
Jatb
go back down the hole that you emerged from mole
11:26 am
Molecule
it doesn't aid in vocabulary
11:27 am
Jessie1
Go to Mobog.com, this you will really enjoy. Tust me!
11:27 am
Karys
certainly doesn't seem to aid your Mole
11:27 am
hurshy
AH, so NOW the connection emerges. it is your friend who is covered in animal waste, and thus you associate it with the site. however, since you did the puzzle, you clearly enjoyed it, which must create some terrible cognitive dissonance for you - i'm so sorry.
11:28 am
Jessie1
molecule, I uderstand YOU ARE SORRY! go to mobog.com. you will enjoy that site.
11:28 am
obscurity
its stuff like this why i tend to ignore the chat space
11:29 am
Haz1558
People - Molecule was on this site earlier on in the day and was very unpleasant. He was ignored by the rest participating on the chat log, but several have e-mailed Dr God about him and hopefully action will be taken soon.
11:29 am
bunnyvicious
Obsc, usually a friendly place!
11:29 am
hurshy

Haz1558
Sorry, to answer you back.

11:34 am
Haz1558
Leslie-Anne - et 5/16? Do you mean et5/12 in which case add a monkey to your et and pluralise it for the 6.
11:34 am
hurshy
hello mark, thanks for keeping score. :)
11:34 am
markbowers7
sorry, hurshy, not hushy....that moniker should be given to certain violin case owners from yesterday...but that is all in the past now..... :)

11:34 am
LeslieAnn

bunnyvicious
YW :)
11:37 am
bunnyvicious
lol
11:38 am
hurshy
ohhhh.... if anyone still needs it w/ a diff clue, it appears to me that it is related to the study of how words evolve (how apropos)
11:38 am
markbowers7
i got the et5/16....thx
11:38 am
LeslieAnn
ahh, thanks bunny (i was wondering how etow could fit)

i wonder if Dr_G got him or if my witty repartee was just too much for him...
11:41 am
markbowers7
probably the latter... :)
11:42 am
Niamh
hello everyone!
11:42 am
bunnyvicious
I think so too, to many big words used for him...
11:42 am
hurshy

markbowers7
SPAM should be a word...God knows i get enuf of it everyday!
11:44 am
Niamh
weren't those the same trolls from last night?
you'd think if they hated it so much they wouldn't come back
11:45 am
Niamh
yea, but spam is too obvious.... don't you want a challenge?
11:46 am
bunnyvicious
jessie, what is mobog?
11:46 am
markbowers7
everyday i come here i have a challenge...sheesh, i've only ever completed 3 of these...

11:47 am
Lupe613
Hi everyone! Mark - I haven't had a chance to tell you that your CD is great!
11:47 am
markbowers7
Lupe! hey, i read your review of my CD on CDBaby...thx! glad u like it
11:48 am

11:48 am
Niamh

11:49 am
Lupe613
Well-deserved. I hope your fan base expands because the music is truly moving.

11:50 am
markbowers7
Bunny, i compose instumental piano and keyboard music...sorta like George Winston+Enya
11:50 am

Mobog.com is a nasty and antagonistic chat and picture download. I don’t recommend this to decent people.
11:51 am
bunnyvicious
Thanks Jess, I'll send it to the husbands ex.....

Lupe613
babbette - all we can do is try our best! :-)
11:53 am
LeslieAnn
welcome, babbette. if you haven't found it already, if you click the "babblers anonymous" link to the right, then click general, then click stats, you will get a list of all the first and second letters, word list etc. for the day

EvaNadine

11:56 am
Niamh

11:58 am
hurshy
argh, the dreaded re's. can anyone help with re7?
11:58 am
FMitch
Jessie1 - why the heck did you post that obnoxous site in here then if you "dont recommend it to decent people"? children and young adults enjoy babble and use this site too!
11:58 am
markbowers7
hmmm....piano and tuba? <strokes chin>...never really crossed my mind....hmmm...could be interesting...like a foghorn with lite piano in the background.... ;)

12:00 pm

fmitch, this was recommended to the antagonistic a-hole that was pushing us around. I am sure that is antagonistic a__ is at that site pushing similar people like him there.
12:01 pm
LeslieAnn
i love bunnyvicious (platonically, of course)
12:02 pm
markbowers7
Jessie, that is an absolutely hideous site....<blinking eyes rapidly to get images out>
12:03 pm
Niamh
Jessie warned you... curiosity killed the cat man....
12:03 pm
markbowers7
hey...share my music with anybody...everybody.... (anything to get these CDs out of my closet!)... :)

12:06 pm
Karys
back again....have I missed anything ?
12:07 pm
FMitch
if we had all ignored her or him in the first place it wouldn't have got to that level.
Don't respond at all and they slowly die.
12:07 pm
Lupe613
Mark, are you playing outside of your area? Maybe you and your sister can do a performance in the Chicago-area (since she lives here)..... maybe look into an outdoor summer concert through the City's Cultural Affairs Department?
12:07 pm
markbowers7
just tubas and pianos...
12:07 pm
bunnyvicious
Finished, anyone need a few hints before I go?
Mark, do you have a web site? My mother-in-law is huge fan of piano music and she's really into that mood music as well. Sounds right up her alley.
12:07 pm
Karys
you're right FMitch......I got sucked in !!!
12:07 pm

caitlyn
Sorry FMitch (crying now) Wont do it again.
12:09 pm
Karys
ty mark...will give it a whirl later....I can't do two things at the same time....needs all my concentration !!
12:09 pm
bunnyvicious
sounds just like people who gamble money or be+, but the ending vowel is different
12:09 pm
markbowers7
well Bunny, at least 2 babblers have gotten my CD so far-- Lupe and Babbler, and GreyWoulf wants one too...so join the croiwd!
12:09 pm
Jen
Afternoon all!! What'd I miss?
12:10 pm
LeslieAnn

12:10 pm
Sbustobante
Can anyone give me a clue on the last lo-5/10?
12:10 pm
bunnyvicious
po 6/21 rhymes with mo 6/21
12:10 pm
Karys
lo5/10...........game with different ending ?
12:10 pm
hurshy
last lo 5/10, like a coffee drink except lo instead of la

12:12 pm
Karys
mo6/21.....sort of spotty
12:12 pm
markbowers7
..that would be ....HAVE
12:12 pm
hurshy
po 6/21 also rhymes with what you drink beer or soda out of
12:12 pm
hurshy
(mark has a cold)
12:13 pm
bunnyvicious
mo 6 - the thr***** on a lawn mower makes it speed up, rhyme with that
12:13 pm
Karys

12:13 pm
markbowers7

12:13 pm
FMitch
Karys - yr icons is so cute and I hate using that word but it really is!!!!!!!
12:14 pm

12:14 pm
Karys

12:15 pm
LeslieAnn
congrats hurshy!
12:15 pm
Karys

12:16 pm
Judi
Goodly day, all. Ish. 216 words. I don't think I have the energy.
12:16 pm
hurshy
karys, i love your icon so much, i'm glad you ignore the themes!
12:17 pm
hurshy
judi - it's kind of like yesterday's, though - not too hard.
12:17 pm
Karys

FMitch

12:18 pm
bunnyvicious
Darnit, Twy just covered my bathroom in shaving cream, should've known batter than to buy pink...
12:18 pm
Judi
Yes, I was all confident after banging out 116 words after only about 15 minutes. Hit the wall now though.
12:18 pm
hurshy
actually judi, poss even easier than yesterday - only took me an hour, as opposed to 75 min yesterday.
12:18 pm
markbowers7
lol Hurshy...<not too hard>...well, it's not too hard for me to get like a THIRD of them...
12:18 pm
hurshy
oh, judi, are you using the list? i wouldn't dare babble without it :)
12:19 pm
Judi
Thanks, Hurshy. Rub it in!
12:19 pm
Niamh
lol bunny... that's fun!
but hey shaving cream shines the silver parts, like your sink spout
12:19 pm
hurshy
well mark, we all have different gifts. you seem to have musical ones. i have an uncanny ability to play boggle/babble. of the two, yours is probably the more useful.
12:19 pm
bunnyvicious
It's the boards overloaded with vowels that get me, so many off the wall words.
12:19 pm
markbowers7
i have 113, 4.57, 1084 w/out the list...we'll see if i use the list or not today...
12:20 pm
bunnyvicious
Thnx, Nia, now I have an excuse to let it sit for a few minutes!
12:20 pm
Karys
think this is my best effort to date without lists...51 to go
12:20 pm
hurshy
sorry judi - like i say, since i'm not athletic or artistic or musical - well, it's all i have. :)
12:21 pm
Judi
Amen, Bunny. The vowels kill me. I usually try to do them first, just to get the suffering over as quickly as possible.
12:21 pm
LeslieAnn
me too, judi!
12:21 pm
Niamh
you're so welcome... I used to work in childcare and when the tables would get covered in marker that we couldn't wipe off, we'd let the kids make a mess with shaving cream and it cleans that up too!
12:22 pm
bunnyvicious
How about blue crayon in the dryer load?
12:22 pm
markbowers7
well, i think i'll head out for now...have other things to do (i know i know...other things than BABBLE?)... ;)
12:22 pm
LeslieAnn
that's awesome, karys!
12:22 pm
bunnyvicious
(Must be on to boggle, the other thing)
12:22 pm
Karys
got to go now....be back later to hopefully finish...bye.... :)
12:23 pm
Niamh

72 Temple Owl
thank you all for those fine clues. i am missing the al5/12 and the 4/4 below it, also...just cannot see them!
1:46 pm
MissyMe
like the expression "Al** for the poor". The first word has a vowel at the end...the second one you want is like in the above statement
1:47 pm
Haz1558
al4/4 is often combined with vera to make a soothing balm
the al512 is an alternative spelling of al4/5
1:49 pm
joey
how about a clue for the last lo 5/10?
thanks
1:49 pm
MissyMe
pluralize al4/5, (the one with the vowel at end) to get al5/12
1:50 pm
Haz1558
lo plus double beverage then vowel ending
1:50 pm
MissyMe
lo5/10 lo + double consonant + vowel
1:50 pm

Kristina - did you do your icon? wow!!
I've always enjoyed 'doodling'....but never any formal training...my PhotoShop skills are very limited!!

Not this Icon.. I love to play with my daughter's pictures... I only started working with Photoshop for about a year or so.. Pretty easy when your playing around with it!!

Hey, Sushi! So glad NOT to be doing it on Saturday - we have people for whom that is a Sabbath. Test went great, but the pizza lunch was LATE! Arrrggghhh. I was more aggravated than the residents, though. They demolished the food when it finally got here!

We're still spending Mexican money though.
3:38 pm
Schroeder
JBs I'm surprised I got it right....
3:39 pm
Sushi
JB - we dont' buy lunch for them on test day. Seems on any other day we feed them constantly.
3:39 pm
JBsAnno
Looking good, Schroeder!
3:39 pm
Niamh
cybernan, she said that jpegs and gifs have been collapsed into one layer and cannot be seperated, there is a way to seperate the colors if that's what you want to do but it's lengthy process. she also said if you save it as a pdf and specify layers.... then she went over my head
3:40 pm
Sushi
I understand the photoshop language and what you describe can be difficult.
3:40 pm
JBsAnno
We don't feed 'em much, not a lot of $$ in the budget, y'know. Recruitment lunches, test days, and an occasional special occasion. I sometimes get pretty free with the meal tickets, 'specially if they look a little frayed around the edges.
3:41 pm
cybernan
It's already over my head, Niamh! -- I just wondered if there was a way to change a background from opaque/colour to transparent -- apparently not!
3:41 pm
Yoink
Hi Smaller!

Niamh

we buy lunch every single wednesday as it is didactic day and there are lunch confernces. I feel like a part time caterer. my boss brought be back a big orange scarfy thing from her Hawaii trip. Look for me wearing it in Orlando....
3:43 pm
sherb
cybernan - if it's a plain background, sometimes you can just fill it with a different colour using the paint kettle...
3:43 pm
JBsAnno
Do you look good in big orange? I can't wait to see it!
3:43 pm
Niamh
hold on... her wheels are turning
3:43 pm
JBsAnno
I'm glad I don't do the food stuff too often, because I usually get the cleanup too.
3:43 pm
cybernan
I've done that, Sherb -- what I want to do is make the background transparent.
3:44 pm

HI Yoink!
are you done yet?

STP -
its the starting 2 letters, the number of letters in the word & the point value (see babble rules link on the top of the grid)
e.g.
so 4/5 = word starts with so, has 4 letters for 5 points total
4:34 pm
Deutsch
bye, Yoink!
STP for example, ye 4/6 means it starts with ye and has 4 letters and is worth 6 points.
did I get that right, everyone?
4:34 pm
MissyMe
4 is letter count in word
7 is the points awarded to that word

Missy, there's treachery in Judas Unchained right up to the end. They way he's left it leaves it open for a stand-alone or even a follow-on although it's not a cliff hanger as it's only a two-book series : )
5:04 pm

very profound, Missy! I couldn't agree more! so well put! :D

I thought ides of march was the 15th???
5:49 pm
Anj
...er, I thought it was the 13th...
5:49 pm
Babbler
very good, Evanadine! It USED to fall on the 15th of roman month Martius, but that corresponds to 14th March today. (reading wikipedia!!) : )
5:49 pm
MissyMe
I thought ides were something you shouldn't feed meat to, especially during a full moon...
5:49 pm
Babbler
Anj!! Carry On Screaming!!! LOL! :D
5:49 pm
EvaNadine
ooh, what do i win??
5:50 pm
Babbler
Anj, you're not wrong either ....
In the Roman calendar the ides of March fell on the 15th day of the Roman month of Martius (although it should be noted that this would correspond to March 14 today, due to differences in the way that the months were calculated). The Ides was an auspicious day in the Roman calendar, falling on the 15th of March, May, July and October and on the 13th of the other months.
5:50 pm
Bobsta
heh heh heh, i'm sure she can make the pilgrimage!!!!
anyhoo, absolutely knackered now so i'm gonna head off.
a quick in and out (reference to missyme's earlier post).
TTFN guys *waves*
5:51 pm
MissyMe
lol Bobsta bye bye
5:51 pm
Babbler
bye Bobsta! glad you're better and see you again soon : )
5:51 pm
Anj
All bow to the great Google:
"...perhaps Julius Caesar got the dates of the warning mixed up. He may have been thinking that the Ides of March fell on the 13th.
In the ancient Roman calendar, each of the 12 months had an "ides." In March, May, July and October, the ides fell on the 15th day. In every other month, the ides fell on the 13th. The word "ides" was derived from the Latin "to divide." The ides were originally meant to mark the full moon - but since the solar calendar months and lunar months were of different lengths, the ides quickly lost their original intent and purpose"
huzzah!

speedfreak
Never mind on the p's finally went up instead of down
DUH!!
5:58 pm
MissyMe
Babbler I always though ides were half the month gone...so any of those days is actually correct. I think it's the reason why Shakespere specifically stated it was the ides of March...as opposed to June, July or whatever
5:58 pm
doxy1lover
you are right. they go with your hand
6:00 pm
Babbler
I was thinking that, Missy. We don't know when the full moon was when Julius Caesar was stabbed, do we?
6:00 pm
MissyMe
I don't quite remember, it was a bit before my time. But some astronomer could probably figure it out
6:01 pm
EvaNadine
i just know that i was explicitly taught that the ides of march in julius caesar meant the 15th...
so im guessing someone did the math at some point...heh
6:02 pm
MissyMe
eva no doubt someone did
6:02 pm

you want to write to wikipedia - they are peddling lies!! ; )

jojo - doing well here
9:34 pm
JBsAnno
Oh, and who are the SeaHawks playing, Jo? I've got a wicked cold, and have sneezed the memories of last week's games right out of my head. Except, of course, the interception that was ruled not an interception.
Oh no. Some things I will NOT forget, no matter how hard I sneeze!
9:34 pm
JoJoFunLvg
JB: I never finish the game, but enjoy playing it anyway. It is NOT a top priority for me to finish the game, ~~ like a lot.
9:34 pm
MissyMe
quickie qlues:
re8 : to collect the votes again.
se8: to contain a part of a flower (extension of se5)

JB sorry you're not feeling well
9:36 pm
MissyMe
JoJo I must be obsessed...I won't start the puzzle unless I believe I can finish it.
9:36 pm
JoJoFunLvg
All: Sehawks are playing the Carolina Panthers. On the east coast the Seahawks are getting little respect. But, we are going to play, and I believe,~~I believe we will win. Yeh, that one call last weekend has already been ruled bogus. That ref is not refing this weekend. Hmmm~~ wonder why?
9:38 pm

A belated thanks to you missy for the el word...my computer wasn't refreshing!

must...take...JoJo's...advice ...
argggg.....must...finish. ..puzzle...
9:41 pm

Kritinc and Everyone: Is everyone really truly routing for the Seahawks? What I hear from the media, the east coast is saying that we are not contenders. Thx tho, for all your support. Hope the Seahawks go to the SuperBowl.
9:41 pm
oldhousejunky
Go Missy Go - I'm behind you 101% - when I start I need to finish !!!!!
9:42 pm

oldhousejunky exactly the way I am, I can't stand leaving things undon...
e.....there!
9:43 pm
kristinc
But of course...I live in Seattle! This is big time stuff out here and I don't mind a longshot, it is still great fun! Except my husband is a pastor and he's afraid no one will come to church on Sunday :)
9:43 pm
MissyMe
I'm rooting for them...
9:44 pm
JoJoFunLvg
OldHouse: I'm behind Missy as well, but don't egg her on, if, perhaps she can't solve the puzzle. It isn't like it would be the end of the world or something like that.
9:44 pm
MissyMe
kristin lol
9:46 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Kristinc: Hey, another Seattlite!! WhooHoo. The game isn't until 3:30 on Sunday. The morning services for your husband minister should be just fine, tell him to loosen up. Maybe have him schedule the evening services after the game. That would work.
9:47 pm
oldhousejunky
Oh JoJo - this game or obsession becomes a personal vendetta with me. It becomes me vs. the puzzle. It has captured me and has me in its possession. I must babble, I must babble, I must babble, I must......

JoJo...good point. We've more been joking about it being a light day since hardly anyone was able to get tickets anyhow. What was it, something like 2000 extra tickets were sold to the public?!?
Thanks to Missy for your Seahawk cheering. I always pick the underdog too.
9:50 pm
MissyMe

Hello from one who loves statistics. How is the order of those with perfect scores figured???
9:55 pm

Tim
so6/18? so + la4/4
pa5/18? pa4/6 + sometimes vowel
9:55 pm
Tim
Its just the AFC Championship game.....50 yard line ,,,bout 15 rows back.....Yea
9:57 pm
MissyMe
Kentagram Looking at the statistics I would say they're marked as done once an hour...so you get many people in a row with the same statistics
9:57 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Hey Hey Guys, the Seahawks are not the underdog. In Vegas, the betting is going 8-5 that the Seahawks go to the Superbowl, not rading about this weekend, but, of course, they have to win this weekend to get to the Superbowl. Don't know what the line says yet, but the betting is going for us. How about those apples?
9:58 pm
MissyMe
*hands Tim some tissues* Have fun, though!
9:59 pm
johnny2times
Any clues on the de 6?
9:59 pm
MissyMe
JoJo The stakes are higher on the underdog so you have more people betting for them...eventually it looks like they're the favorites...just a thought
9:59 pm
Tim
It will be the Broncos and the Hawks come Feb.5th....mark my word.
10:00 pm
Kentagram
MissyMe, I don't understand your answer. Does that mean the first names appearing finished earliest, so it's in order (sort of) of who finishes first??

Tim: Go Bronco's. I have been trying desperately to get 'free" tickets over the radio for the Seahawks on Sunday. My name hasn't been called. But, you enjoy your Bronco game.
10:00 pm
Tim

MissyMe
de 6 this is the person who is the de4/7 word above...opposite of creditor
10:02 pm
MissyMe
Kentagram It seems that way. Whoever finishes first gets listed first but, lets say, within the first hour, everyone finishing in that hour will have the same statics
10:03 pm
MissyMe
*statistics...not static lol
10:03 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Tim: Really? Think it will be the Bronco's and Seahawks. We were in your league years ago, when you had Elway. Elway was not only a good QB but a good citizen and family man. BUT, on the field, I hated him. Elway always beat the Seahawks.

JoJo...I think you're right-rankings wise they're not the underdogs but nationally they're not getting a lot of credibility. In my uneducated opinion think they stand a good chance. If nothing else, the fans in Seattle are crazy!
10:04 pm
Kentagram
MissyMe -- Thanks. But where are the scores posted hourly? I thought they only appeared at the stroke of midnight (1:00 am my time!)
10:05 pm
Tim

10:05 pm
JoJoFunLvg
Kristinc: Yeah, we are crazy here in Seattle. Haven't seen this kind of hype since 1995 when the Mariners advanced 'finally' to playoffs. We are definitely in hype mode around here.
10:05 pm
MissyMe
Kentagram There not posted until the puzzle is completed and a new puzzle is in place. What I meant is how the final posting does look...
10:06 pm
Tim

middle pa 6/24 add "er" to the word above it (pa4/6)
