Atalante, that is beautiful! And so reassuring, that some of the stupidhead words are REAL things! :)

3:53 am

Haz1558

Just keep going! I also have 5 vs - probably the same as yours as they are 'normal' words.

3:54 am

Ho Hum

I am sure they are they same and include a 6 which was very satifactory. :)

6:09 am

periwinkle

Boysaway, thanks so much

6:10 am

periwinkle

clue for the r/8 please

6:10 am

Boysaway

Amandacath,
Sounds a bit like the chemical term for fruit sugars, leaving out a couple of letters

6:10 am

amandacath

6:11 am

amandacath

Thanks anyway, boys. I kept trying to make that sugar come out, just wouldn't work

6:12 am

Angelsong

6:52 am

amandacath

I'm missing 1 n and 1 v - any help? I've got:
n: bird home & who makes it
v: sell & seller; 2 strange ones w/no defs; choose & chooser

6:54 am

Boysaway

amandacath, your n word is an ne4, if you're British it's slang for noses into someones business

6:55 am

Boysaway

amandacath, your missing V word means sold

6:56 am

amandacath

Thanks boys - not British, so I'd never heard of it - now I know!

6:56 am

amandacath

Duh - thx again. Thought I'd already suffixed everything...

6:57 am

Boysaway

Any more clues needed before I go?

6:58 am

amandacath

No, wait! I was wrong the first time around - had sell & sold (not seller) already, so I'm still missing one...

6:59 am

Boysaway

Sells !?!

6:59 am

amandacath

Ok, going to stop asking for clues until I really HAVE suffixed everything ...

7:00 am

Ho Hum

to sell (the root word)
plural
and past tense

7:18 am

amandacath

How 'bout the oc? - I've tried everything except the right thing

7:20 am

Ho Hum

amanda - go up and then left

7:20 am

amandacath

Got it - intrepid monkey-typing will get you everywhere!

7:21 am

rosalind230

7:22 am

GreyWoulf

Good Morning to my fellow Babblers!

Taking advantage of a early morning feeding to check the grid and see who else is around at this time :)

7:22 am

rosalind230

morning greywolfe how are you and the family

7:23 am

ch1212

Morning Greywoulf! Just babbling for a bit before my beloved's morning feeding :)

7:24 am

GreyWoulf

Doing well, rosalind --- Kristianna just got over a cold, but Sebastian is doing great, though he has a bit of a cough right now --- Momma is exhausted, of course ;)

7:25 am

Ho Hum

... hope someone is looking after you grey woulf!!

7:25 am

GreyWoulf

Hi ch1212 -- you are going to have to update your profile, you aren't so quiet on the log anymore ;D

7:27 am

GreyWoulf

Ho Hum -- I've got my family and my Babble buddies to watch over me :) --- If it weren't for you folks, I would have cracked a few months back

7:27 am

Angelsong

morning! how's everyone today?

7:28 am

Ho Hum

glad to hear the GW, it's great to give but everyone needs a bit of TLC from time to time esp with a new arrival!

7:28 am

GreyWoulf

Hey Angel -- we're good, how's by you?

7:30 am

Angelsong

I'm fine, GW. didn't finish yesterday's grid. Had to work, then I was too tired to think straight and it was no fun, so I just stopped. Got some sleep and now I'm back.

7:31 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks, Ho Hum -- the only slightly bad change in my life right now is the new job...

The job itself is great, I love it and am adapting to the new schedule wonderfully --- Kirsten is not a morning person and hates it of course --- It's just that they want to send me on overnight tasks starting in two weeks and the boss isn't very sympathetic to my lack of desire to leave the family alone :(

7:32 am

ch1212

LOL -- :D Greywoulf -- you're right. I'm not as shy as I was with everyone.

7:33 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- that's the way to do it -- I haven't been able to play several days this week, due to timing issues -- I have missed it, but Babbling is about the fun, not the finish
(though the finish is pretty cool too! ;) )

7:35 am

Angelsong

ce7??

7:35 am

Ho Hum

Well that stinks GW - hope you manage to sort things out.
Time for me to go TTFN

7:37 am

GreyWoulf

So long, Ho Hum -- I am sure it will work out for the best :)

Angel -- sorry, I am not up to giving clues yet -- just started and have only 2 sevens :)

7:38 am

ch1212

sorry angel, I don't have it yet either.

7:39 am

Angelsong

gw: wen you find the second ce5/12, attach a short "song" (as in "*** to Billy Joe" as a suffix, and you will have the ce7.

7:40 am

ch1212

got it! Thx angelsong

7:41 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks Angel -- I'll watch for it ;)

7:41 am

Angelsong

gw: drop the final vowel in that ce5/12 before adding the short song...:)

7:42 am

GreyWoulf

I just got it -- I haven't pulled the 2nd letter list, so I can't use position as a reference right now :)

7:50 am

ch1212

Okay, GW - profile updated :)

7:52 am

GreyWoulf

Very nice, ch1212 :) -- I especially love the fact that you found your true love while being happy in singlehood on the way --- too many people feel that they have to be part of a couple to be happy

7:55 am

ch1212

I agree. Ever since I was a small child I sensed that being single was right for me. On a deeper level, I know there were many lessons I needed to experience and learn, and I accepted that, usually with contentment and real happiness. My beloved was a monk for 20 years, and I was pretty upset when he first left ... then voila! a miracle happened :D. We're both evolving in new ways.

7:56 am

GreyWoulf

And you do great when you give clues! -- sometimes I think people get to caught up in giving cryptic clues -- though their creativity is fun to witness
(when I am not the one wanting the clue ;D )

7:57 am

ch1212

thanks, gw. I must say, I looked at your profile -- a Taoist! And Wiccan too --- it's a unique combination. I studied the Tao briefly in the course of world religion studies. And one of my dear friends in school is Wiccan. Both serious approaches to spirituality and living. Good for you!

8:04 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks ch -- I came to both by accident -- I was never raised within a religion so I developed my own pattern of faith which was very strongly influenced by the SF I grew up on -- then when I met my wife and Wicca I found that it was a very close fit --- Then I found the Tao and it filled in the gaps :D

8:08 am

ch1212

What a great faith journey! I was also heavily influenced by the Science Fiction I grew up with -- mostly hard core Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Bradbury, Zelzany, Ellison, Blish. I lived in Hawaii for years as a kid, and when I rebelled against my family religion my mom (bless her!) encouraged me to seek other paths. Hawaii is a crossroads of the world culturally and spiritually. So I had an amazing opportunity to attend Buddhist and Hindu services in addition to many, many Christian churches. Sounds like you found your Way too.

8:12 am

GreyWoulf

ch -- the only author you listed that I have not read much of is Blish --- otherwise while growing up I used to referred to the holy trinity of Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke with Heinlein as their prophet (shades of heresy! :D ) --- but Zelazny's Amber is one of my Favorite realms which I reread almost annually

8:14 am

GreyWoulf

Well, Seb is waking up and wants attention so my responses will necessarily be slower and shorter as typing with one hanf is tricky at best ;)
-- when his sister gets up is when I will have to go

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone!

8:16 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Temple!

8:16 am

ch1212

LOL! The Holy Trinity, indeed! Blish wrote several, but a favorite was "Cities in Flight" -- I think you would love it, especially the way it twists toward the end and reveals the reason human nature is what it is. Excellent read. --- Okay, I hear my beloved stirring. Enjoy your day, GW -- it's been a pleasure. Bye all!

8:17 am

GreyWoulf

so long for now, ch (*Hug*)

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

ah - a forgotten joy of mine - speculative fiction - are these new?

8:18 am

Jacula

Hiya Wolfie & Temple.

8:18 am

GreyWoulf

Nope -- all old school from the formative years of SF, Temple :)

8:18 am

ch1212

(hugs) to you too, gw -- I leave it to you to answer TempleOwl's inquiry :)

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jacs!

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i've never read blish..

8:19 am

GreyWoulf

(*Jac*)

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

oops bye woulfie

8:20 am

GreyWoulf

brb -- gotta make a bottle

8:20 am

Angelsong

de5/16?

8:21 am

Jacula

Wolfie, you weren't lurking in the lanes near my house last night were you? LOL. My son encountered what sounded very much like a grey wolf whilst driving home in the fog around 1am.

8:28 am

GreyWoulf

Jac -- nope, not me :)

Temple -- Blish is very good old school SF, all I have read by him are a few short stories as well as the very first Star Trek novels published after the series ended --- I think the 1st was 'Spock Must Die!' -- he only wrote a couple though

8:28 am

lola100

Hi all! : )

angel, 40 all in tennis...rhymes with what you drink at breakfast : )

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

hey lola!

8:30 am

Jacula

Hi Lola. Thanks, I hadn't spotted that tennis 'de'.

GW: at 7:30 PM, the phone rang. It was my daughter. She and my soon-to-be 2 year old grandson, Dylan, were looking at pictures and naming the people in the pictures. He said to her, "I want grammy." So she called so he could talk to me; he also told me, "I want grammy." That was worth more than anything material to me.

8:48 am

Anj

Hi Babe : ) Hi T-Owl, GW, Speed : )

I thought you might all like to see a picture of my Great-Grandmother at 18 (in 1898). She's wearing a beautiful hat! The photo is very faded and so this is the best I could do with the scanner. Please REFRESH to see her. Her name was Lily.

The name's Be6/27 : )

9:31 am

Jacula

She was quite a snappy dresser was my Gt.Gran., right up until her death at the age of 92! No wonder her only son became a master tailor and theatrical costume maker.

9:32 am

Nonny

Same look, just darker color w/blond highlights to cover the hated grey. I've got seven years on you. But to be fair I started getting grey streaks when I was in my 20's. Can't blame it on my kids or husband since everyone is grown and gone----except my hubby. He hasn't grown or gone. :-)

9:33 am

evanonut

hey nonny - was getting grey in my 20s too

9:34 am

bunnyvicious

LOL Nonny, grey is in though!
I'm starting to get a few streaking here and there, didn't know it happened this early! Course, I'm to lazy to go to the trouble of dying my hair, and cheap for that matter!

9:34 am

Haz1558

Once you start colouring, it's hard to stop! I was very blonde as a child, got darker, got greyer, but am helping things along with highlights.

9:34 am

evanonut

i'm too poor, but not too cheap - highlights work wonders

9:35 am

Nonny

evanonut.....back then it looked "cool". Everyone was getting their hair streaked and mine was natural. Now I'd be almost all grey/white. More salt than pepper. I'd "LIKE" to think I'm too young to go all grey yet., HENCE the coloring..........

9:36 am

evanonut

i'm consider "O" nature "elle"

9:36 am

Nonny

CUTE......very cute.....

9:39 am

9:42 am

Angelsong

he is talking well, now, and he's still adorable. it's when he's about 14 and talking that he may not be so cute........

9:44 am

Haz1558

They don't talk when they're 14 - they grunt!

9:45 am

bunnyvicious

Yup, I've got one coming up on 10 and looking into buying a mute button.

12:17 pm

macuser

Cathy
I see from your profile you have a yellow cat - perfect name for him. I had an orange tabby once who was quite the character. Now I have an all grey cat whose name is Bongo and he's of little help with Babble but provides warmth on a cold day ;)

12:17 pm

hurshy

43!

12:19 pm

Cathy

macuser -- Yeah, my Scotch is quite the lap cat !! Also had a beautiful grey tabby (Sammie) that was his brother, but I recently lost him to cancer. So Scotch has seemed to be even more clingy since losing him. Breaks my heart sometimes to see him looking around the house for him.

2:28 pm

Dachef

caprinha = national drink of Brazil, made with cashaca, ice and limes, and loads of sugar. Gots you drunk really quickly combining it with a massive sugar rush. Like drinking a pint of vodka and Red Bull!

2:29 pm

LeslieAnn

ok, i said i was ALREADY jealous, didn't need details ;)

Now I root for the celtics - shades of the Dodgers and allegiance to hopeless causes.

4:19 pm

faeriekae

MM-I'm great - how about you? I lost power Thursday at 3:30 pm and didn't get it back until 8:00p.m Friday We had a terrible storm. But all is well now.

4:19 pm

Sherylr1961

then there is the co 4/8 which someone gave a clue about russell crowe and a town near where he lives but that went right over my head, lol

4:20 pm

musicmom

I'm a little under the weather with a head cold but just hanging out and relaxing. Took a 2 hour nap this morning while Greg ran interference with the kids. ahhhhh.
Power outages are the pits. We had high winds but fortunately no power outs.

4:20 pm

Eva

Okay,a little slow on the uptake-the thank you one was obviously for the 6/24. So where is that pesky cu4/6?

4:20 pm

ch1212

yyeahhhhh MO!!! Could you help me with a clue for the er5/14? I know it has to be obvious, and I'm sure the er6/24 that follows will be the plural. Pls and ty!

4:20 pm

Dachef

sheryl - check your list - the de7 and de5 you wanted are plurals of other words! The de4 is an alternative spelling of "I will de** you".

4:21 pm

mo

Sheryi de7/40 ...alter the last letter of the previous de7

4:21 pm

cybernan

co 4/8: a sheperd's cabin minus the second letter (go by points)

4:21 pm

Dachef

Eva - cu4/6 - what a doctor does? Is that the one you need?

4:22 pm

Eva

We were lucky with the power outages this time-I think because all of the weaker trees camae down in earlier storms this year and last-we had what they call a microburst-a very localized tornado, last spring. So there wasn't much left to fall on the power lines.

4:22 pm

ch1212

Eva, a director cu** the actors to begin.

4:22 pm

faeriekae

MM-still under the weather huh? Sorry to hear that. You need lots of Water......

4:24 pm

musicmom

Yep I've been guzzling water and cranberry juice for two days. Even bought some medicine so I could sleep last night. I feel quite a bit better after the nap. Just going to lay low until Tuesday when I have to teach again.

4:24 pm

Eva

got it-once I realized the point value it was obvious.

4:24 pm

Dachef

eva - add the deleted word: " ** I should die before I wake......."

4:24 pm

ch1212

Eva, cu4/9 -- you probably know you need a 4 pt letter; that's the last one.

4:24 pm

9:10 pm

mab

It seems like most people are so methodical. I just hit the Cs for awhile, jump to the Rs, etc. If I went in order I would get hopelessly stuck on one word, I think.

I love Fred too. Astaire and Rogers, may their names be for blessings.

9:11 pm

9:14 pm

mamabear

9:55 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Eastern: Pretty good, we had a horrible wind storm ~ again, and freezing cold. I am in Seattle, and it was 18 when I woke up this morning. So glad you are Ok. What flying debris?

9:56 pm

mamabear

JoJo - it is 3 degrees here in Chicago!

9:56 pm

chic

Hi Renfield and MamaBear!

9:57 pm

EasternBlue

JoJo - from the windstorm...I was walking into my building (just crossing the street to get there) when some glass or hard plastic whizzed by my head...missed by inches....

9:57 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: I'm doing OK. My son and his wife came over this morning and visited, and then went out our daughter's to help her move a bed. She is single and it is hard to move a big bed by herself. How about U?

9:57 pm

mamabear

EB!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you are ok......

9:59 pm

renfield

jojo - i'm doing good - my husband has had the flu....we too have had some bad wind. we had a tree limb fall from one of our pine tress and missed my husband and out 2 dogs by inches.....

9:59 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Eastern: You have been blessed. You know, everyone has their time to go, and obviously it wasn't yours. So glad you are OK.

9:59 pm

EasternBlue

thanks mama....me too!! it would be hard to Babble without a head!! 8 )

9:59 pm

renfield

eb!!!! what's with these wind storms!!!!...i'm very glad you are ok!!!

10:00 pm

EasternBlue

thanks jojo....I believe that too....

*EB thinks how to solve world hunger & bring peace to the world....*

10:01 pm

mamabear

EB - hunger, world peace OR 8 letter words!!!

10:01 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Yeh, but you Chicago guys are probably used to it. Us in Seattle are used to maybe 30-50 in the winter, so this is quite an 'artic blast', so weathermen are saying. But, will survive. How are you doing?

10:02 pm

EasternBlue

mama - 8 letter words I have today (thanks to help from my friends...)...only 28 others to go!!

10:03 pm

mamabear

The older I get the more my body does not like the cold! It has been a mild winter here this year..... relatively. This blast of cold is hopefully the last one for this winter.

10:04 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Wow! I am always scared of trees falling on our house. We have 18 trees in our yard that could fall. But our back property has big trees that could fall on other people's houses, which is very "legally speaking" BAD!

10:05 pm

mamabear

be back in a bit.....

10:07 pm

chic

I'm so done! We had a gray day yesterday and barely hit 60 deg. Everyone is praying for rain here. It was so funny; we had a couple of droplets and people were saying "Smell the rain". I said Yep smells like the 'Wet Dog of Tucson'. It sprinkled enough to give the cars dust spots. :-o

10:07 pm

renfield

jojo - us to - during a hurricane, one of our tallest pine tree fell across our neighbors sitting room

10:08 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Mama: Good luck on the cold. Maybe we are getting your cold instead of you. But, hang in there. I went out walking last Thursday @ 7:00 am and it was 24 degrees. I double gloved and had a hat and a scarf, plus a very warm hat. I stoled my husband's long underwear that he used for hunting, and I was OK. My hands were the coldest, so don't know what to do with my hands since I doubled gloved.

10:12 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: If I take one tree down, I have to take them all down. And, it is really a beautiful site to see all the trees, but, if I only take a few down it leaves the rest in jeopardy. Trees suvive better when in a clump rather than standing alone, as far as falling that is.

10:15 pm

renfield

jojo -we also had a pine struck by lighting. i grow trees from seedlings and replace the ones i've lost and add to my tree lines.

10:18 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: What happened, as far as insurance, when your tree took out your neighbors sitting room? Did your insurance pay out or did their's have to pay out. I have always heard that trees were a different animal when it came to accidents. How did yours come out?

10:23 pm

renfield

our insurance paid

10:25 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Ren: Great. I heard at one time that if a tree on our property hits our house, our insurance paid, but if it hits another house, their insurance would have to pay. So glad that you have enlightened me.

10:27 pm

JoJoFunLvg

I gone for tonight. Got to watch the Olympics.

EasternBlue
