second post! Hi peri
12:01 am
CJ162003

hi all
12:01 am
hootowl

Hi yourself!
12:01 am
periwinkle

Can't believe I was the first to post!!! Hi, JB
12:02 am
JBsAnno

Hey, hoot, here I am, waiting to see the new stats!
12:02 am
JBsAnno

Good job, peri!
12:02 am
GreyWoulf

And so we start anew!

HI to all!
12:02 am
JBsAnno

um, GW, you've got a little chocolate dribble in the left corner of your mouth...
12:03 am
Jacula

Peri - you posting first is a good omen.
12:03 am
hootowl

I'm wondering if we'll get a word list before 2pm tomorrow!
12:03 am
JBsAnno

AAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!

Dr _God knows!

202 words!!!!!!!!
12:03 am
periwinkle

Jacula, I sure hope so
12:04 am
periwinkle

I am usually asleep at this hour (1 am) but I took a nap and therefore am not tired now.
12:04 am
GreyWoulf

(*wipes mouth*)

But over half are 4 letters, JB :)
12:04 am
hootowl

And look at all those a's!
12:05 am
JBsAnno

No "weird" letters, anyway!
12:05 am
cybernan

Hello Everyone -- just logged on so haven't even taken a peek yet!
12:05 am
JBsAnno

I'm happy about the a's, for sure, hootowl.
12:06 am
hootowl

Ok - how do you know how many words????
12:06 am
cybernan

Making up for no a's in the last two? -- and an s, even

JBsAnno

If you went pro, you have access to the stats panel that shows the total amount of words by letter count, and by placement in the grid. Each letter grays out once all the words it starts are found.
12:07 am
GreyWoulf

hoot -- benefit of being pro status -- the stat page gives word count, breakdown by letter count and shows how many words start with each box on the grid :)
12:08 am
Blaze

Hail and Hello to ALL
This is a crwth (icon)
12:08 am
Jacula

202 words and 109 of then are 4's.
12:09 am
JBsAnno

And now, full of chocolate and camraderie, and before I stress about today's grid -
Goodnight everyone!
12:09 am
hootowl

Well I can't and won't. I'd have to get that paypal thing and really don't like paying for anything on-line. But waiting 12 hrs for a list in Anon is not fun.
12:10 am
Jacula

Excuse spelling error - listening to my fave song of all time now - Lyn Skyn's 'Freebird' live version.
12:10 am
DarleenMB

hoot I don't think you have to join Paypal in order to pay someone via PP.
12:11 am
GreyWoulf

Usually the list at Bab Anon is up fairly soon after the flip, unless Brandyjack is afflicted with one of his migraines -- then it is several hours til post
12:13 am
Debs40ish

c7/36 x 2
12:13 am
hootowl

Yep! Yesterdays was real late. And I know about the migraines so am not complaining...just frustrating.
12:14 am
Jacula

As for today's grid. Won't be looking at it untll tonight, UK time.
12:15 am
dalmatian5

Hope this is a more friendly grid then the last two! They certainly put me in my place!
12:15 am
Blaze

We do have one S that is a charmer

For now, I'll be sliding out slowly to Lyn Skyn - as I intend to at my very end,,,
12:16 am
DarleenMB

and she's OFF and running!! [waves at Deb]
12:17 am
GreyWoulf

So long, Jac -- Enjoy your day :)
(*Hug*)
12:17 am

hootowl

Night jac - thanks for the help.
12:19 am
Jacula

12:25 am
GreyWoulf

Sometimes an antidepressant is only necessary for a short time. To get over a tough time, learn new patterns of "self-talk" etc. There's such a stigma about antidepressante. Nobody thinks a diabetic should "tough it out" with no insulin. But even though clinical depression is often caused by a hormonal or chemical imbalance, we think we can beat it if we try harder.....

That being said, Prozac changed my life, for the better, about 20 years ago.

:) smaller. There's a version of tetris on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail video game, themed around the "Bring out your dead!" sketch. The pieces are all dead people, and every once and a while, you'll get a piece that's not dead yet and the peice moves around and changes position. It's weird and just a little bit awesome.

ch6: The opening into the nasopharynx of the nasal cavity on either side; posterior naris.

5:49 pm
Minbat

Ha6 sounds like a little bother.
5:50 pm
Tim

thanks tiger ...and minbat.:-}
5:52 pm
Tim

need 7 more, 2nd ne5/10?.....3rd fe5/16???
5:53 pm
Minbat

Time, the nr5/10, take the ne4/4 below it and an a letter in the middle to sound like someone who says the sound a horse makes.
5:55 pm
Minbat

The fe5/16 you want means a little dog, but is spelled like that ne5 you just wanted. If you added a Y to the end, it would mean spunky and argumentative (fe***y).
5:55 pm
Minbat

Tim, what's wrong with my typing? I should have typed, a message ago, "Tim, the nE5/10, take the ne4/4 below it and ADD a letter in the middle to sound like someone who says the sound a horse makes."
5:57 pm
Tim

thanks minbat, got them both. great clues..
5:58 pm
Jera

Don't ya hate it when you mis-typo a good clue?
5:58 pm
Tim

now I'm missing the en7, and alot of the an words
5:59 pm
Jera

The A's are a major pain today...
5:59 pm
Minbat

The en7 is a fascinating word, I just looked it up. Start with EN, then finish with that Disney movie from teh 50's where the critics thought the animators were on drugs.
6:01 pm
Jera

Minbat... I'm curious... what is your icon? Can't quite make it out...
6:01 pm
Tim

Wow that is weird!
6:01 pm
Minbat

My icon is a little minbat in the wild.
6:02 pm

en7 = Tonic spasm; -- applied generically to denote any disease characterized by tonic spasms, as tetanus, trismus, etc.

The things you learn playing this game...
6:02 pm
Jera

Sorry, I should have guessed that common sense from your name... but I don't know what a minbat is!
6:03 pm
Tim

how about clues for both an7s??????
6:04 pm
Minbat

The first an7 is a terrific word, and appears in this handy poem I know to remember all your poetic feet. Each line is in a different meter, and uses the name of the meter:
IAMBUS, king of all the north
Sucking TROCHEES ventured forth
Galloping DACTYLS emerged from their nest
But he struggled and conquered this AN*****.
SPONDEE!
6:06 pm
Tim

man, I mean min, you lost me!!!!
6:07 pm
Haz1558

an7 - use the first three letters of the first an4/4 - add pe4/5 meaning nuisance.
6:07 pm
Minbat

Er... sorry. The first an7 is the metrical foot that goes short-short-long.
6:09 pm
Haz1558

2nd an 7/28 - use the first three letters as before, add anagram of se4/4 meaning place to sit
6:10 pm
Minbat

And the other an7 is a stupidhead chemical word. Take the first 3 letters of the an4 above, and add the four-letter word that cops do to people with an electric gadget instead of shooting them. Only don't spell it with a Z.
6:10 pm
Minbat

Haz writes more coherent clues.
6:11 pm
Tigereye

Clues for Ap6 and Ap7?
6:11 pm
Tigereye

I mean 5 and 6 *should check what she writes before posting*
6:11 pm
Tim

googled metrical foot and found your poem.....cool
6:12 pm
Minbat

There isn't an ap7, I don't think. THe ap5 and following ap6 are the singular and plural of a sleep disorder where you don't breathe properly during sleep.
6:12 pm
Hazzardous

Hi Everybody!

Hey Ho Babblers. I have a question. ...
when you all give a definition for a clue (which I love by the way) is there a quick way to get to the dictionary to look it up?

BTW refresh if you see the bobcat icon. I picked a musical one. I'm so impressed I figured out how to do it.
6:20 pm
Haz1558

musicmom - if you press on the question mark beside each word it will take you to a dictionary.
6:22 pm

Thanks Haz

ta6/21 = A nutritive tissue within the sporangium, particularly within an anther.

*google is your friend*
7:03 pm
gwenski

or, ta6/21 kinda sounds like what you would hear at a performance of River Dance!
7:05 pm

Jera

1st ch6/24 = A bristle or se4/4, especially of an annelid worm.
7:12 pm

8:42 pm

Oh musicmom... thank goodness.... I came on and never saw the chat log left alone for so long and got scared!!! Thought maybe someone put a spell on Babbleonia and everyone was asleep!
8:43 pm
musicmom

We were playing PS2 football. It froze up or I still wouldn't be here. we were only in the 3rd quarter.
8:44 pm
kristinc

Me too! I'm here too. I just thought my computer wan't refreshing properly, not that there was a void in the babble universe! I'm glad you spoke up Mama, who knows how long the maddness would have continued. :)
8:45 pm
mamabear

I know!!! Can you imagine - no chat for almost an hour!!!!!!! Gives me goose bumps.
8:47 pm

How goes it Mama? I haven't been on in a while. Are you finally feeling better?
8:48 pm

Yes, kristinc.... finally. Still coughing a little and sinusy, but better. Thanks for asking!!!! How are you?

hi evanadine & rennie!!!!
Ren - I finished this one in about 2 hours. It really wasn't bad (with the help of BJ's list and a2z for the toughies).....
8:57 pm

I'm around too, but barely sentient and with 61 to go it ain't gonna happen tonight. Just sticking around until I get sleepy enough to doze off.

9:00 pm
mamabear

Oh THAT kind of sick. When are you due?
9:00 pm
musicmom

Yep. But Sunday just bring another busy week. From now until Valentines Day I'm going to be very busy between my business, Girl Scouts and on the side accompanying. That's okay - I like to be busy, but it won't leave much time for Babble finishing.
9:00 pm
gumpunk

oh sorry, wa 6/33. Someone gave it earlier as a clue to find 5/20, but that doesn't seem to be helping my brain any.
9:01 pm
musicmom

Congrats Kristin. Is this your first?
9:01 pm
renfield

eva - we'll just loll around in the ex mode.....
9:02 pm

Musicmom, you do sound busy but it all sounds like great things. Yes, baby #1!

musicmom

Yep they should get better soon.
9:06 pm
renfield

kristin - just stay happen and enjoy the new life!!!
9:06 pm
mamabear

it will get better soon. The first couple months are the hardest when your body is adjusting to all the changes. Then it settles down for the middle 3 months and the last 3 you just grow, grow, grow!!!!! (and so does baby!)
9:08 pm
kristinc

Good to hear...we're enjoying the pregnancy and accompanying excitement nonetheless
9:08 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi all -- stopping by before I have to deal with all the last minute things I NEED to get done before tomorrow

Kristi -- it does indeed get better unless you are in the rare minority that never gets over the morning sickness -- however it does take some adjustment as your body redirects its energy towards growing the baby, thus making your everyday routine seem like a herculean task at times (*Hug*)
9:09 pm
GreyWoulf

Oh and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

kristi -- I know she does --- but her desire to be doing whatever I am doing can be both distracting and frustrating at times :)

But I am loving it -- these memories will get me through her rebellious "I hate you!" teenage years ;)
10:08 pm
kristinc

Good perspective GW...she sounds very sharp and will probably keep you all on your toes for years to come!
10:09 pm
GreyWoulf

kristi -- she didn't reveal that she could climb over the gate to my bedroom until the day I chose to go in to wake up her mother without her and she REALLY wanted to participate :D

So yeah, she is sharp as a tack and snealy to boot ;)
