for example -
ea 4/4

12:18 am

EasternBlue

helen - this is a bit of a doozie for a puzzle to start (since it's rather large....)

but the group that's in here is great....always willing to help with clues!!

12:18 am

cybernan

Welcome, Helen -- the more the merrier.

12:18 am

Blaze

big words... lots of plurals , past tenses and plural past tense......

12:19 am

cybernan

Monster is putting it mildly, GW.

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

helen -- welcome to the insanity that is Babble -- as you have seen, don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have -- if we don't answer directly, we will tell you where to find the info you need :)

12:33 am

EasternBlue

hi chic & doxy....

12:34 am

doxy1lover

hi EB.

12:34 am

GreyWoulf

in7/32 -- builds of the in6 meaning within
plural for the 8

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

the other 2 in8 build off the in6 meaning to forcibly assert

12:37 am

helenkeller

so you guys who are using the 'code words' have the babble pro?

12:38 am

doxy1lover

both of the i's are grayed. woohoo!!!

12:39 am

cybernan

What do you mean by code words helen?

12:39 am

cybernan

Cheers for doxy!

12:39 am

EasternBlue

helen -
babble pro gives you a stats panel -
shows how many words start with each letter in the grid....
also gives you a grid to tell you how many words (eg. 4 letter words = 102)....

the codes are based upon the players simply finding them....

12:40 am

Blaze

some do have the babble pro but the code is
start letter.... number of letters in word and value of word some times there are second letters added
the clues are from everyone to everyone after the word has been found

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

helen -- going pro grants you access to a stat board that breaks down how many words of each length there are in the puzzle as well as a mini grid that tells you how many words start in each square

for example the L starts a total of 40 words in this grid

12:40 am

Angelsong

helenkeller, welcome to Babble...you will find resources for the game at Babbler's Anonymous via the link to your right. the game changes once daily, at midnight central time; you can always come back to the game and it will be saved for you automatically.

12:40 am

cybernan

Great clues, GW -- thanks.

12:41 am

doxy1lover

angelsong, your kitty is great.

12:41 am

GreyWoulf

That reminds me -- for our non pro friends :)

4-letter words: 102
5-letter words: 99
6-letter words: 83
7-letter words: 35
8-letter words: 14
10-letter words: 1

Love the beehive, Eastern! -- can't believe we actually spent so much time teasing our hair into that shape.

12:43 am

doxy1lover

done with the dreaded q's.

12:43 am

cybernan

Has d 8/55 been called yet?

12:43 am

EasternBlue

cyber - it was a little before my time...but I often wondered how people could hold all that hair on their head!!!

12:43 am

doxy1lover

EB, they used lots of hairspray.

12:44 am

cybernan

Hi Blaze -- guess we were both on the sequestered jury -- unfortunately a couple of letters are in the wrong place!!

12:44 am

Blaze

EB back combing was an art form of itself... and we sometimes used baby food cans for curlers.... LOL

12:45 am

Blaze

Nan... I keep trying stressed.... and it still will only give my oops

12:45 am

helenkeller

omg, i looked at the chat here, looked at the results from yesterday & scores --- you all really take this very seriously!!! lol are you all, ahem, addicts?

12:45 am

Blaze

My name is blaze and I am a babbler......Pro

12:46 am

doxy1lover

i admit i have a problem. I am addicted to Babble. is there a support group somewhere???

12:46 am

cybernan

Beginning to regret starting this -- been at it over 1/2 hour and still only 1/3 of the way through.

12:46 am

EasternBlue

*looks around guiltily....*

me? a Babble addict....NO WAY!!!

(but I hear Dr_God [Babble creator] is developing a 12 step program...)

12:46 am

renfield

LOL blaze and helen....

12:46 am

GreyWoulf

doxy -- we are the support group!!!! ;D

12:47 am

helenkeller

12:47 am

kristinc

hello all...what is today's theme? And also, why did I start this puzzle...now I'll have to finish! :)

12:47 am

12:48 am

kristinc

12:48 am

kristinc

oh, hairs dos and don'ts...even better and so creative!

12:49 am

doxy1lover

hats was yesterday's grid.

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

helen -- Babble is one of the good addictions out there -- we are like minded people who genuinely enjoy each others company as we have a confirmed common interest -- but we can (usually) break away long enough to deal with our non cyber lives without suffering too many withdrawal symptoms ;)

12:49 am

Blaze

OOpssie doodle .... it is still the 18th here in western canada

12:50 am

kristinc

technically, you were both right because it is still "today" for me (PST) but we're on "tomorrow's" puzzle

12:51 am

renfield

it's today for me....

12:51 am

Tim

Good Morning.....My name is Tim and Im a Babbler...: )

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

helen -- the other advantage of going pro is the ability to fill in your profile info so you get a flag and a 'purse' next to your name as well as the ability to post an icon --- if you click on the purse, you can read other peoples profiles to find out more about them :)

12:52 am

renfield

hey tim!!!

12:52 am

kristinc

Hope everyone had a great week...busy for me.
GW-how is the new job treating you?

cybernan

And if you believe Angel's line -- I have some prime swamp property for sale.

12:55 am

EasternBlue

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

12:56 am

kristinc

I love this! You find one word and that gives you three or four more!

3:32 am

Ho Hum

Know what youmean! It's the 1st time I've ever got 142 words without pausing for breath.

3:32 am

Angelsong

yes, spellit! I like it too. still need to find six L's but that's a lot better than needing 30.

3:36 am

Ho Hum

spellit - apply yr theory to the q's, find 2 root words and you will find all 8.

3:38 am

Angelsong

there is an IN with the qu also.

3:39 am

Ho Hum

thanks, was wondering if qu was used anywhere else.

4:02 am

Angelsong

summer, I don't think so! can you give other clues for those? the Lo7 I tried didn't fit.

4:04 am

Chris P

angel - you're also missing another lo4/5 at the beginning of the list.

4:06 am

SummerBreeze44

Angel - The flower is a water lily. Once you find it, make it plural using 2 letters

4:07 am

Angelsong

summer, what about the abnormal curvature?

4:08 am

SummerBreeze44

Angel - The plural is the curvature. :)

4:13 am

Angelsong

I'm drawing a blank on the lo's :(

4:18 am

SummerBreeze44

Angel - Hope this helps....The flower is also known as a sitting position in Yoga

4:19 am

Blaze

angel.... it looks like a bizarre way of pluralizing the big money game l*t*....

5:11 am

SummerBreeze44

SweetTooth

5:42 am

SweetTooth

Boysaway - Found another one! De 8/50

5:43 am

Angelsong

boysaway, please, can you give some clues for the 8's you have, specifically: co8, do8, in8's, RE8, SE8?

5:43 am

Eva

Wheee...that was fun! 189 without stopping or thinking. Like going sledding without getting cold or running into trees. Now the hard part.

5:45 am

Boysaway

co8 is a form of the co7 above it, meaning to biuld together

5:45 am

Boysaway

do8 also builds on a root word, meaning medic

5:47 am

Boysaway

in8 - two of them come from one word - she in8 on singing even though she sounded like a cat

5:47 am

Boysaway

in8 - he got the full story from an in8 at the Palace

5:48 am

Boysaway

re8 - she re8 anything except chocolate

5:49 am

Boysaway

se8 builds from a word mean part, ie part of a company

5:53 am

Boysaway

SweetTooth, do you have a clue for the de8?

5:54 am

Angelsong

whoa.....less than 100 words to go!

5:58 am

SweetTooth

De 8/50 is related to the De 6/21- dry arid land

5:59 am

Boysaway

Cheers, got it

6:03 am

Angelsong

that de 8 is an odd one too

6:04 am

Eva

Hi everyone. I've been searching the meteorite pages and have seen a lot of beautiful rocks, but no 10 letter s word. Any other clues for those of us not space rock hounds?

6:06 am

Boysaway

Eva, start with your si4/5 and end with your li4/4, and add two letters in between - Michael **w the boat ashore.

6:07 am

broll

eva - see renfield's clue at 1:32

6:08 am

Boysaway

40 words left to find - WAKE UP BRANDYJACK, I can't do it without you!

6:09 am

Angelsong

si10: si4/5 +consonant+vOwel+li4/4. si11 is the plural

6:09 am

Eva

can I name my next cat after you boysaway? Since I don't have a firstborn to name that's the highest compliment I can give. Thanks!

6:10 am

SweetTooth

LOL Boysaway! I have 18 more to go but I'm throwing in the towel. Bye everyone.

6:11 am

periwinkle

Good Morning, does anyone have the 10 or 11 yet.
If so, May I have clues please

6:12 am

Eva

peri-look just a few clues ago.

6:13 am

Angelsong

peri, good morning. clues at 6.06 and 6.09 for the 10 and 11...

6:14 am

Eva

I have to take care of the stoves before the house gets too cold-back away from the keyboard Eva-that's it-you can do it, peel those fingers off the keys.....easy....keep breathing....now put the mouse down...

6:15 am

Eva, LOL!

6:19 am

FYI, It is my Birthday today.

6:20 am

Boysaway

Oh, Happy Birthday Peri!

6:22 am

Angelsong

Happy birthday, Peri!

6:22 am

periwinkle

Thanks Boysaway.
Since there are no stats, I am not sure if I have the correct si4 to start the really long words with.

6:23 am

periwinkle

thanks Angelsong, lots of really nice people born in Feb. :)

6:23 am

Angelsong

peri, in a debate, participants must choose a si4...

6:23 am

Boysaway

si4, the team that is fielded, or your flank.

6:26 am

periwinkle

thanks, found them!!

6:28 am

periwinkle

has there been a clue for the ec8

6:29 am

Haz1558

ec 6/21 - ec plus vowel plus shortened version of female sibling.
Pluralise for the ec8

6:29 am

Angelsong

Boysaway, have you a clue for the IN5/10 before the 7/40?

6:31 am

Boysaway

in5 - not moving

6:32 am

periwinkle

thanks, Haz

6:33 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. Happy birthday by the way.

6:33 am

periwinkle

any clues for the lo8's

6:34 am

periwinkle

Thanks, Haz,

It is only 7:30 am here but I will accept champagne and cake if anyone is willing to offer some 8)

6:34 am

Tigereye

Lo8 past tense, hanging around aimlessly

6:34 am

Haz1558

lo 8/45 is the past tense of lo 6 - to hang around
lo8/45 is a combinarion of noble gentleman and ration of medicine.

6:35 am

Haz1558

Or even combination and rations

6:36 am

Angelsong

thanks to all who were so patient with me as I tried to tame those L's...!

6:36 am

periwinkle

thanks, Haz, got both of the lo8's

6:36 am

Boysaway

Peri, is it impolite to enquire how old one is today?

6:36 am

Haz1558

Must go and get showered and dressed. The sight of me in my dressing gown would be enough to put the lunch guests off their food!

6:37 am

Chessy

Happy birthday periwinkle :)

6:37 am

brandyjack

OK Boysaway, stats posted......

6:37 am

periwinkle

boysaway, yes it is quite impolite to ask, and anyway I always lie about my age, suffice it to say that I am 39 again 8)

6:37 am

Boysaway

Oh, my hero BJ!

6:38 am

Chessy

may the bluebird of happiness fly straight to you BJ :)

6:56 am

gramma

hurshy, he's sooo dreamy! ( if you're into nightmares!)

6:57 am

gramma

There are alot of bad comb overs out there; but, he really should know better.

6:58 am

hurshy

i know, he should. i went for the "do's". meg ryan in sleepless in seattle. her hair looks great every minute of that movie.

6:59 am

gramma

She's just darn cute no matter what.

7:00 am

movieman

I decided to go with Marge, who's hair could be a "do" or a "don't", depending on your point of view.....

7:00 am

gramma

I also found this 1..which do you prefer?

7:01 am

Uneaixoise

wow, gramma, that is pretty bad. but trump needs to be sent a message.

Good afternoon, all :)

hello sprite, welcome to a long puzzle :)

7:11 am

movieman

Hi, sprite......

7:11 am

sprite

Biggish today...

7:12 am

gramma

Hi sprite. ..more like humungous!

7:12 am

hurshy

yes. you are another one who likes to find a lot without the list, aren't you sprite?

7:12 am

movieman

Has anyone out there managed to find the 10 & the 11 yet, and if so could they clue me up plz........

7:13 am

hurshy

*hurshy plugs her ears, doesn't want to hear any clues yet*

7:13 am

Chessy

movieman - good clue at 6.06 from boysaway ...

7:14 am

periwinkle

I have found almost half of the words without looking at BJ's list.

7:14 am

Tigereye

I'm at 190 words without the list, I've been through the log though.

7:15 am

hurshy

i am at 200

7:15 am

sprite

I am at 38.

7:15 am

periwinkle

Lots of great clues in the log.

7:16 am

hurshy

well yes but you just got here, sprite. the question is, how many will you try to get before getting the list?

7:17 am

sprite

Never use the list. Just the log and the stats panel. And in case of real trouble A2Z, but I'd rather not.

7:18 am

hurshy

ah, see, sprite is the babbler of babblers.

7:19 am

sprite

It's just that the list gives so very much away. When I know the first two letters and I know the place on the list, I can almost spell it out, right? I like a little more challenge, that's all.

7:21 am

periwinkle

well, sprite, not all of us are as brilliant as you are. I try to get as many words as I can myself, and with help from the clues. But I also use BJ's list and a-z and onelook reverse dictionary.

7:22 am

hurshy

but sprite, don't you ever have a day where you didn't get much sleep, and you have a lot to do, and you just want to get the words in any old way you can?

7:22 am

periwinkle

and quite often I don't get all of the words and that is okay, since it is only a game.

7:22 am

hurshy

on a good day, i think i can do it your way, sprite. yesterday i only used the list for the last 23 (and found that i should have gotten at least 10 of those)

7:23 am

sprite

It's not in any way meant as judgemental, I just don't like to use the list myself. I think everybody must play as gives him or her the most pleasure.

7:23 am

hurshy

only a game?!?! :)

7:24 am

sprite

When I get really, really stuck, I use A2Z and that helps. And of course the clues and hints in the log are great helps too.

7:24 am

Jera

Greetings, all! How goes it today?

7:24 am

hurshy

we know it's not judgmental, sprite - it's just rather in the nature of throwing down the gauntlet to some of us :)

7:24 am

Chessy

lol hurshy :)

7:25 am

sprite

lol hurshy!
And I don't think I am brilliant either. Just someone who doesn't know when to stop. Somewhere far down our bloodline there must have been a pitbull or two, I guess.

7:25 am

sprite

Hi Jera! Having fun so far, but I just got started.

7:26 am

hurshy

well, speak for yourself, sprite. *i* am brilliant.

7:26 am

sprite

You are, hurshy, I am not. That's what I said :)

7:26 am

periwinkle

missing two of the 8 letter words, co8/50 and lo8/40 help please

7:28 am

GreyWoulf

Good Morning Everyone --- waiting for Kristianna to awaken so I thought I would check in to see who was here :)

7:28 am

Jera

My personal opinion: you play to have fun... if it's not fun, what's the point? For some people, not finishing is not fun. Some people couldn't care less about their ranking & mostly chat.

I like the challenge, but don't take it too far (I can get obssessive & that isn't fun)... I don't look at lists or chat until halfway, unless it's really really hard. Then I copy & paste BJ's list & fill in what I have... this reminds me of plurals & helps me think of other words. I'm usually about 75% done before I start really looking for clues, either from fellow players or a2z.

But that's just me.

7:29 am

hurshy

ok i was just kidding btw

7:29 am

Hi, GreyWoulf!!!

Hi, Wolfie......

GreyWoulf

((**sprite**)) -- I missed you at the flip --- I was in rare form again (I think having Seb on my lap helps) and one of my first thoughts was that you would like this grid ;)

7:31 am

Oh wah, citroen isn't a word...

7:31 am

GreyWoulf

Hi peri, hurshy, movieman, Chessy, Jera and anyone else I may have missed --- if I have you are still loved just unobserved ;D

(*Hugs for all*)

Hi Woulf!! *big, big hug for Woulf and Seb*
Great to see you, missed you.
Yes, it is a great grid so far :) How are you doing?

7:32 am

Jera

Yeah, hurshey... still one of my favorite words...

7:33 am

Jera

Is the new WolfCub doing well, GW? Staying snug & warm during the cold front?

7:33 am

GreyWoulf

Family is doing pretty good, Chessy, though Sebastian and Mom just went off to the ER because Seb was wheezing earlier this AM --- nothing to be upset over, just being careful since he is only 3+ weeks old and his sister just got over a cold

Hope Seb will be well very soon.
"Citroen" is so a word. But Dutch. For lemon.

7:34 am

GreyWoulf

So suffice to say that while I am concerned, Mom is a bundle of nerves

7:34 am

Jera

Gwyd was born end of September & I think he caught a cold on the way out... very pitiful, a coughing newborn...

7:35 am

Chessy

good wishes to you all Greywoulf (*hug*)

7:35 am

sprite

Gwyd? What a beautiful name!

7:35 am

GreyWoulf

sprite -- your comment about Citroen reminds me of a story from the Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem --- in the story one of the main characters creates a machine that can create anything that starts with the letter N

7:36 am

Jera

Sprite... funny the non-english words they deem valid here... I for one can find no rhyme or reason...

7:36 am

harpjane

335? too big. See you tomorrow, unless my ski trip doesn't happen!

7:36 am

movieman

Gotta go, lunchtime calls......

But I'll be back before you know it......

7:36 am

periwinkle

taking a break, may be back later

7:36 am

GreyWoulf

However, when the inventor asks for some 'natrium' because it is the latin name for salt, the machine points out that in some language somewhere, every thing starts with N (statistically speaking)

7:37 am

sprite

Must be a fun story! Though I am afraid "citroe - N" would be taking it a little too far.
Jera: you are so right! I always try everything I see, just to be sure ;)

7:37 am

GreyWoulf

Therefore, it would then be a machine that could create Anything, not a machine that only created things that started with N -- which was not what he invented :D

7:38 am

lottijw

Here here Harp!!!! Can`t find time for this today :(
((GW)) Hope everything is good with Sebastian xxx
Have a great babble day everyone. See you all soon :)

7:38 am

Jera

That's my little man, Sprite... Gwydion Domhnaill. He's currently succumbed to the coughing stage of the flu that has run roughshod through my family... snuggled up on the couch watching Madagascar for the 87th time...

7:38 am

sprite

LOL... guess that machine is right!
That's just like saying it is always happy hour at some place on earth at every time.

7:39 am

Jera

lotti!!! I had hair JUST LIKE THAT in high school... I adored Cyndi Lauper!!

7:40 am

sprite

Of course it was a machine that could create N-ything. Figures.
Jera, I think it is a wonderful name. Hope all will be well and coughfree soon.

7:40 am

GreyWoulf

I do highly recommend the author, he was a Polish (I think) scientist who enjoyed exploring the absurd -- I find that usually yields the best Science Fiction

7:40 am

sprite

I agree, Woulf.

7:40 am

hurshy

taking a break for a while, have fun all

7:41 am

GreyWoulf

Jera and everyone else -- thank you for your we4ll wishes -- needless to say I will make sure that I let everyone know what the outcome is -- if I have to I will add to the thread on Bab Anon :)

7:44 am

GreyWoulf

Getting back to the grid, sprite -- I have managed to find 219 so far without assistance from anywhere except the log -- a personal best :D

I do admit that you inspire me a little --- but I freely acknowledge that my method of enjoyment differs from yours-- that is what makes this world such a fascinating and Wonderful place!

7:45 am

GreyWoulf

Though it is annoying when I look at the stat board and I find that I only have one to go to grey out about 6 squares and I can't see another word for love nor money! ;D

7:46 am

Jera

That's when i can get obsessive, GW...

7:46 am

Chessy

that's when my monkeys earn their money ...

7:46 am

GreyWoulf

that is when I usually will break down and look at the 2nd letter list --- I do like my grey after all!!! ;)

7:47 am

sprite

I love to be inspiring, even if it's a little bit ;)
And I agree totally, we all should have fun here as suits us. Like all good things in life, there is not one true way, but as many ways as there are people doing them. :)

7:48 am

sprite

And congrats on that personal best, Woulf!
It IS great. :D
MrP would give you fireworks for sure.

7:48 am

GreyWoulf

That is also the point when I really wish I could twist the grid to view it from a different angle

7:48 am

sprite

Or rescramble the letters, lol.

7:49 am

Jera

Well, I'm really shivering so I'm off for a nice hot bubble bath... back later, hopefully it will warm up some more... bye all!

7:50 am

GreyWoulf

Enjoy Jera -- I don't have the space to enjoy a bath (tub is too small) so take some extra time for me! :)

7:51 am

Tigereye

I think its list time for me. I've got to the point where the only words I can see are tense and sense!

7:51 am

Chessy

I'm just putting the kettle on - anyone for a cuppa?

7:52 am

sprite

I'd love a cuppa and then I think I'll join Jera in the tub :)

7:52 am

GreyWoulf

Sounds good, Chessy -- I didn't get much sleep last night :)

7:53 am

Jera

Will do, GW

{{{HUGS}}} for all...

*poof*

7:53 am

sprite

O6/21: a nice example of how it is worth trying anything even remotely likely to be a word... with double OO in the 2nd half it is a dutch word.

7:56 am

movieman

Well, I'm back.....

7:58 am

rolin

wb movieman

7:58 am

zubie

[Hurtling in to say hi and give quick hugs] This grid looks lethal.

8:09 am

GreyWoulf

8:09 am

sprite

Hi Zubie. It is fun!

8:10 am

Angelsong

tigereye...yes, I do have the singular and past tense of the centers of apples

8:11 am

zubie

Hi Sprite, GW. Yes, I shall attempt the grid but not much time. I'll have to leave at any moment. :)

8:11 am

Tigereye

Angelsong you're missing a 5/14 before placing dishes, a 6/21 then a 5/12 after the last pair of 5/12's

8:11 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- do you have the plural stacks of wood?

8:11 am

sprite

You're more than welcome, even for a minute or two :)

8:12 am

Angelsong

yes, GW, plural for stack of wood is here.

8:14 am

rolin

angel...you have the centres of apples..but do you have the derivations...?..single and past tense>
?

8:14 am

zubie

(((sprite)))Thanks.

8:18 am

Tigereye

co5/12 place dishes on a table, together. pluralise this

8:21 am

Tigereye

Change the first Co5/16 so it has a curly consonant in the middle

8:23 am

Angelsong

I ofund the co 5/14, tigereye, and I found the co6; still need the 5/12, I think

8:24 am

Chessy

I don't want to play with the 're' words any more - they're no fun :(

8:24 am

Tigereye

I think the one you want comes after that 5/14 you jsut found

8:25 am

GreyWoulf

change the last letter of co5/12 place dishes on a table, together, to the letter which immediately precedes it

8:25 am

sprite

We can always think of so many more Re-words than enable can.

8:25 am

Angelsong

C's are done!

8:26 am

sprite

WTG Angel!

8:26 am

8:27 am

Angelsong

I'm off to slay the R's...wish me luck..

8:29 am

Watch out, Rs... here comes Angel... nowhere left to hide!

8:31 am

8:48 am

sprite

wb, Jera :)

8:48 am

Jera

Hey, the chat's slow today... my previous posting is still on my screen!

8:49 am

Tigereye

Its the plural of the Si10
Si10 =Si4/5 + consonant + vowel + li4/4

8:49 am

sprite

Probably because there are so many words waiting to be found, Jera... no time to chat ;)

8:50 am

zubie

I'm out of here. Have to leave. :( Hugs everyone.

8:50 am

lalobstah

thank you. i guess i'm a long way from that one. i just started.

8:51 am

Bye zubie!
Thanks Tigereye.

8:57 am

Angelsong

got all of the re's. Anyone need clues for 'em?

8:57 am

macuser

G'day everyone... I'm 2 words shy of completing the Ts...
any clues for to5/16 & to6/27 ? I have monkey-typed myself into a stupor... any help would be greatly appreciated :)

8:59 am

sprite

Macuser: hat(s) french words.

9:06 am

JoyLee

lalobstah si10/11 A meteorite composed of a mixed mass of iron and stone, si11 plural of si10/11

9:06 am

macuser

Thanks Sprite... now if I only knew French, heh. The only french word I know for hat starts with a 'c'

9:07 am

sprite

You know the start of the words, and you need to use the rarest letter in the grid. :)

9:07 am

Haz1558

It's foot digit with a high scoring double letter in between.

9:09 am

macuser

Got 'em! :) Thank you so much for the clues! Learned a new word today :)

9:10 am

sprite

Should give you 2 Rs as well ;)

9:10 am

macuser

And so it does, sprite :) Thank you!

9:12 am

trishtrash

Mac, Sprite & Haz ... thanks ... just got to the 'sticking' point, and those helped a bundle :)

9:12 am

sprite

And if you are there, you could also look for another Ro6/27, change last letter of the one you have... and then look for a C that is similar.

9:12 am

macuser

Hey Trish :)

9:13 am

trishtrash

Hey Mac :)

9:13 am

lalobstah

JoyLee Thank you. I just saw your clue.

9:13 am

9:14 am

sprite

WTG rolin. Some tough ones, right? I still need a few, working on them.

9:14 am

rolin

yeah sprite... me and a2z finder

9:16 am

sprite

Though I usually find that I have overlooked the obvious ones, falsely trying to convince myself that it is toughies I am looking for, lol.

9:27 am

Jera

Well, I'm off for another warm-up break... very cold here today! Later, all!

*poof*

9:27 am

rolin

anyone with a clue for the de7/32?

9:28 am

rolin

doesnt matter i found it..:)

9:28 am

sprite

For those asking before: I opened the stats panel at 225 words, and now I am down to 9 and I really need A2Z to finish today. Stuck, hit a wall, nowhere to go, etc. ;)

9:28 am

Haz1558

Have some after your main course.

9:28 am

Chris P

rolin - it's the last course of a meal.

9:28 am

Chessy

rolin, a pudding - what you have after the main course ...

9:29 am

rolin

thx all..:)

9:30 am

hurshy

well, i hadn't the heart to do so many without the list today after all. and now i'm needing clues too. ce7?

9:30 am

Haz1558

Eat too many of them and you will need a co6/21

9:31 am

rolin

lol..i know where ya coming from haze

9:31 am

hurshy

haz - was that still on the de, or was that a clue for me?

9:32 am

Haz1558

Still on the de

9:33 am

hurshy

thought so, as it seemed applicable

9:35 am

sprite

hurshy: Pertaining to, or derived from, beeswax or Chinese wax;rhymes with one of my favorite E-words, E6/21.

9:36 am

hurshy

so the 6 that follows is unrelated, eh?

9:36 am

sprite

I am gone for a while, back later for those few last b@st@rds.

9:37 am

sprite

Totally unrelated, just shares first 3 letters.

9:38 am

rolin

i cant believe this...but i need a clue for the di4/5 next to the noisy one

9:39 am

Chris P

di4/5 - to speak badly about someone.

9:39 am

rolin

i got it monkey typing..

9:39 am

rolin

its not a real word chris...ggrr

9:40 am

Chessy

street language to show disrespect ...

9:40 am

hurshy

yikes that's a lot of co's

9:48 am

Jacula

Hi folks. I'm just quietly typing words in from my written list of the first sweep of the grid. Not looked at the log or the stats yet. I'm wondering if I can get at least three-quarters of the words on my own.

Icon pic is my daughter when she was a lot younger.:-)

9:48 am

hurshy

i am amused by this di 6/7 combo - what is it, a place where you go to eat your cheerios?

9:49 am

rolin

hurshy...di6/7??

9:50 am

hurshy

not as in 6 letters 7 points, but as in a 6 and 7 letter word that go together

9:50 am

Angelsong

there is life after the R's. I've found all of them!

9:50 am

hurshy

haven't you seen people do that before?

9:52 am

hurshy

usually if the numbers are followed by the word "combo" then you know it's not one word being discussed but a pair

9:54 am

rolin

ah ok.. nah..i hadnt seen that before

9:56 am

hurshy

ec help, please?

10:04 am

hurshy

*hurshy is afraid nobody likes her anymore*

10:04 am

macuser

hurshy

ec + second vowel + opposite of brother, shortened

10:05 am

macuser

then plural for the 8

10:05 am

Chessy

ec6 means "The successful establishment of a plant or animal species in a habitat", then pluralise for ec8

10:05 am

hurshy

oh, macuser still loves me! thank you thank you

10:05 am

lbetterman

10:06 am

hurshy

Am I jealous!!!

11:56 am

Poor puppy paw......

12:09 pm

Atalante

12:09 pm

trishtrash

*scritches the spaniel's ears* poor pooch!

12:10 pm

Atalante

she's now using her sad spaniel eyes to get as many treats out of us as possible!

12:13 pm

faeriekae

My dog has learned that after he comes in from outside he gets a treat so now-----he will go out and turn around and come right back in and stand at the treat cabinet like ok, I went out - now give me another one. lol

12:13 pm

Angelsong

I'm missing a to4 at the begininig of the to's. I have the man's name, pedal digits, labor...any help is welcome...and thanks

12:15 pm

speedfreak

My dogs do the same thing at the treat cabinet..but it is fun spoiling them!!

12:15 pm

faeriekae

It's amazing how animals can make use act so silly. I love my dog like he is my child. So I know a hurt paw is pretty pityful. And the sad eyes always melt your heart.

12:15 pm

Atalante

12:28 pm

Atalante

LOL I bet she does!

12:30 pm

faeriekae

1:58 pm

To copy the grid, highlight it before you log in so you don't get the chat log. Then paste into Word or whatever you have

I have no idea why that word is there. Please tell me it isn't in the grid.

5:44 pm

ch1212

Ah yes, harpjane -- haven't skied there but know of it. We have 5 ski resorts within 120 miles of where we live, and we both love downhill. Haven't been lately, though. THANK YOU FOR THE 8/45 clue doxylover! Got it!

5:44 pm

musicmom

(((faerie)))) right back at ya. I'm feeling quite a bit better today thanks.

5:45 pm

doxy1lover

5:45 pm

musicmom

Bye doxie!

5:45 pm

harpjane

ch1212-just read your bio? Are you at Cottonwood?

5:45 pm

faeriekae

MM-was worried about you. The flu has a way of kicking you butt if you let it. Glad to hear your feeling a little better.

5:46 pm

faeriekae

Doxy - Bye :)

5:46 pm

musicmom

Greg was awesome yesterday about nursing me and keeping the kids out of my hair. The r*** did me so much good! Have a quiet day again tomorrow - plan on taking advantage of it.

5:46 pm

ch1212

No harjane, we're south central Idaho -- by Sun Valley, Pomerelle, Soldier Mountain, Magic Mountain... Cottonwood is where friends live though, at the convent near there.

5:49 pm

faeriekae

MM-Greg sounds like a good Daddy and Husband. Your so lucky. Re** is the best thing you can do for youself.

5:49 pm

musicmom

He is the best daddy and husband. I couldn't ask for any better (that's not saying he's perfect but.....<G>)

5:50 pm

harpjane

Cottonwood is Benedictine, isn't it? I'm not really up on my monasteries.....

5:50 pm

musicmom

Hey Harp - love your hair! Glad you had a good day at skiing.

5:51 pm

ch1212

harpjane -- indeed it is. Monastery of the Ascension is the Benedictine men's monastery near Twin Falls, and Cottonwood is the convent. Beautiful land up north; more like Big Sky. (We went to Big Sky a few months ago to visit friends.)

5:52 pm

faeriekae

could someone start me on the st's. I dont have any and I cant find any. brain is shutting down early this evening.

pbr

but it worked for me -- ty

5:56 pm

Jacula

Hi. I'm back again. ch1212 - di7/32 (2nd one) sounds like your pudding. It means 'to discourse formally'. When at Uni., you have to write a di*****ation.

5:56 pm

faeriekae

TY :D

5:57 pm

Jacula

de7/32 - pudding.

5:57 pm

musicmom

Hey jac - I think ch left but I needed that one - thanks.

Jacula

Last st6/18 - Any of a group of predominantly unsaturated solid alcohols of the steroid group, such as cholest**** and ergost****, present in the fatty tissues of plants and animals.

5:59 pm

Jacula

MM - Hi. She'll read it later, if she returns.

6:00 pm

musicmom

Great! I do that too. Go back through the log when I come in. I don't read everything but look for clues.

6:01 pm

Jacula

MM - You don't know what you're missing, not reading it all! I sit here laughing sometimes at some of the brilliant exchanges on the log.

6:02 pm

musicmom

Yep I have done that. I particularly like to read what happens right after the flip.

6:02 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, my icon pic is my daughter when she was much younger with a skipping rope tied up in her hair.

6:03 pm

musicmom

There was a great conversation about valentine gifts a few days before - Loved it!

6:03 pm

musicmom

Very cute! I've been trying to resize a picture of my girls for Tuesday.

6:03 pm

Jacula

MM - Yes, today's flip was amusing when they all discovered there were over 300 words to find. I also smiled at the dire warnings to the newcomer and the protestations of not being 'addicted'.

6:04 pm

faeriekae

ok - still no st words - I'm sorry I didn't get the horse the I r*** in on clue. It doesnt work with the ro word and I cant find the musical instrument that starts with st either. what is wrong with me?

6:04 pm

musicmom

Yep that's always hilarious too. I'm hopelessly addicted after just the couple of weeks I've been here. everyone in the family knows it too.

6:04 pm

DemanusFlint

How many words are there? Thanks.

6:05 pm

musicmom

If you can't play an instrument you play a st****
A knight in shining armor rides a mighty st***

6:05 pm

Jacula

Faerie - a knight has a trusty st*** to go into battle on.

6:05 pm

Jacula

6:06 pm

faeriekae

Jacula - Thank You - I got it. Yeah for me.

6:07 pm

Jacula

Faerie - then there are the cattle that cowboys rope and ride.

ExWren - I'll refrain from quoting one of my late-Gran's favourite sayings, 'Red hat, no dr*****!' LOL.

6:17 pm

Jacula

y/w, MM. I like to learn new words, too.

6:18 pm

Jacula

One I won't forget from a recent grid is 'waftage' which, apparently, is the art of waving. I'm just looking for an opportunity to use it in every day conversation!

6:18 pm

I need one last word, please, and I'm done. It's the co6/30. Clue, please?

6:49 pm

Jacula

Past tense of qu5 (A Knight's qu***, Qu*** for Fire etc.)

6:50 pm

LeslieAnn

that's more than me! good one, helen!

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

qu7/44 is the past tense of qu5/16

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

co6/20 french word for a flirt

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

sorry, co6/30

6:51 pm

Jacula

The ec's - The successful establishment of a plant or animal species in a habitat. (Google the definition!) Sounds a bit like 'he died from alcohol and drug exc*****.

6:51 pm

dalmatian5

LeslieAnn the ec is an odd one to me. It is the word and its plural. The definition of the word is the process by which a plant or animal becomes established in a new habitat.

6:52 pm

dalmatian5

co 6/30 is a flirt

6:52 pm

Jacula

Hello Lourdes. Are you Madonna's daughter??

6:58 pm

musicmom

Whooo I have finished all the q, s and t words.

6:59 pm

Jacula

MM - I started with the q's this (UK) morning. I thought they looked the easiest. LOL.

6:59 pm

faeriekae

MM-qu 8/55 and I believe the last 7/40 would help me out. Pretty please.

7:00 pm

Jacula

REFRESH to see me in my curly locks days with my 2 babies.

7:00 pm

musicmom

The ones who go looking in the first qu5/16

7:00 pm

Jacula

Those who qu5/16.

7:01 pm

musicmom

The last qu 7/40 is plural of the 6 before it.

7:03 pm

faeriekae

Peri good nite and sweet dreams

7:05 pm

Jacula

7:05 pm

Jacula

'Night Peri.

7:06 pm

musicmom

I hate re's. I'm still working through them. I have ro's left too. I somehow have ended up working the bottom part of the alphabet more than the first.

7:06 pm

Jacula

Got the 'd'. Must now seriously attack the re's for the missing 8.

7:07 pm

faeriekae

I'm miss the qu that comes after a person who would give qu***s the qu 7/40

7:07 pm

doxy1lover

make it past tense

7:08 pm

musicmom

Faerie that is exactly it he would be the qu********

7:08 pm

musicmom

Never mind.

7:09 pm

faeriekae

I keep typing the word but it just isn't taking it. I'll keep at it.

7:09 pm

musicmom

Yes that's right many people who give a qu5/16

7:10 pm

faeriekae

Yes - stupid computer (grin) *

7:12 pm

faeriekae

type the same word 15 times and it won't take it then all the sudden "poof" there it is. can't be the person running the keyboard. :)

7:12 pm

Jacula

No, Faerie, of course not! The very idea!

7:13 pm

musicmom

Nope it is always the computer's fault.

7:13 pm

faeriekae

Jac-you really had a head full of hair lady. Cute pic.

7:16 pm

Jacula

I did, Faerie. Still do! Am changing icon to my other half and our friends at a 70s weekend we went to last year.

7:17 pm

faeriekae

Jac-which one is yours in the red or purple?

7:17 pm

Jacula

Oh, it doesn't show up very well. I'll try to find a close up in a bit, must attack these re's first though.

7:18 pm

Jacula

Faerie - the red & orange. The purple is my friend's hubby.

7:18 pm

helenkeller

oh no, i said i was leaving 1/2 hour ago and i'm still here, & it's only my first day here! YIKES!

7:19 pm

faeriekae

Looks like they are having a grand ole time. :)

7:19 pm

musicmom

The first co 7/36?

7:19 pm

Jacula

Helen - You can't say you weren't warned! Ha! Dr_God secures yet another victim.:-)

7:20 pm

helenkeller

lol

7:20 pm

Jacula

MM - co7/36 - to build together.

7:20 pm

musicmom

Thank you!

7:25 pm

Jacula

Close up of friend's hubby with the Afro hair, headband and big gold chain on. Can't find the one of Paul.

7:25 pm

Jacula

Oh, and the 'tache isn't real either! LOL.

7:26 pm

Jacula

Now, you lot, lurkers and posters, own up - who's nicked my last 8 re's??

7:28 pm

musicmom

Not I. I don't have them either. Someone stole them.

7:29 pm

faeriekae

I wish we could get a closer look at these icons. Hard to see with the dark background. I'm sure the afro was killer. lol

7:30 pm

doxy1lover

I have my own. But I'll share.

7:31 pm

faeriekae

Don't look at me.....I don't have the re's......I've the ones that you do when you lay down for a while. and where you live.

7:32 pm

musicmom

i'm done with all the c words. I'm going to win the battles instead of the war today.

7:32 pm

doxy1lover

just starting the c words. *big sigh*

7:33 pm

musicmom

Yeah - but you have the re's. I gave up on those. Will go back.

7:33 pm

musicmom

hey Jac. Do you know the song "Little Boxes" from the sixties? That's what is going through my head everytime I grey one today.

7:34 pm

faeriekae

I know what you mean musicmom. I need a break for while. I'm going to have a hot coco and turn on the tube for a minute. I'll try to return.

7:34 pm

musicmom

Bye Faerie - Enjoy!

7:35 pm

doxy1lover

need to get some dinner. be back to finish later.

7:36 pm

musicmom

Bye Doxie

7:37 pm

Jacula

MM - yes,I know the song. I'm singing it now, too.

I'm down to 4 missing re's: 1st re6/21 (after the bull-annoying colours), 2nd re6/21 (after dwells), 3rd re5/12 (after 'put up a fight') and the re6/21 immediately following that.

7:38 pm

ch1212

i'm back -- jacula, thank you for the followup on the clues about an hour ago! Just scanned the log and got them. Down to my last 5.

Help on both the ce 6/21's anyone? And the ro 5/16 that follows the ro 6/18... ? Pls and thx!

7:39 pm

musicmom

Do you have to put earth down again?

7:39 pm

helenkeller

ch1212 - your pic creepily reminds me of reese witherspoon

7:40 pm

LeslieAnn

ch- if you do good a lot of times, those are your su******. drop the su (ce 6/21)

7:40 pm

musicmom

The first ce6/21 sounds like a breath mint
the second one is a plural of the 4 before it.

7:40 pm

ch1212

jacula, your second re6/21 is the same as re (dwell) without the final vowel, AND it's plural.

7:41 pm

LeslieAnn

helen - i agree! i was trying to place it for quite a while.

7:42 pm

ch1212

THANKS leslieann and musicmom!! HELENKELLER, it IS Reese Witherspoon, and what on EARTH was she thinking?!! :D

7:42 pm

musicmom

yw

7:43 pm

Jacula

ch1212 - y/w and thanks for the clue. That's one more down.

7:45 pm

ch1212

jacula, your first re6/21 -- think of what a doctor does when he takes away a part of your intestine or bowel, and then puts the remaining pieces together (GROSS!!!) It's called a re*****on

7:45 pm

Jacula

MM - was the to put earth down again clue for me? I've tried reso4/4 (what a baby does to a nappy before you can even change it and the grid won't have that.)

7:46 pm

musicmom

Yes it was for you. Re5/12 re+so4/5 (the first one)

7:46 pm

ch1212

jacula, the put down earth again clue is for you, and it's re + 3 letter word referring to dirt, sometimes new grass is called that. Then plural.

7:48 pm

Jacula

Got the medical clue (due to family experience, sadly) and both the grass clues. Thanks! That just leaves one word to find.

7:48 pm

musicmom

Is the de 8 related to the de 6 before?

7:49 pm

helenkeller

ch, nooooo, really? that's her? good question! what WAS she thinking, lol

7:50 pm

ch1212

oooh! I've got 2 left... could you help (or anyone help) with either the so5/10 that follows what you do when you put things in order, or the ro 5/16 that comes right after the word that kind of sounds like what a rooster does plural?

7:51 pm

ch1212

musicmom, yes it is, unfortunately... it's a very different ending -- think of the little bug that causes Lyme disease. :)

7:51 pm

musicmom

so4/4+round vowel+consonant.

7:51 pm

Jacula

I'M ALL DONE - 0 words to find.

7:52 pm

musicmom

ch - do you have the ro that is similar to the te that uses the rare cosonant?

7:53 pm

musicmom

YEAH Jac. I still have 72 to go. Somehow I think i will be settling for points at the end of the evening. Not giving up yet though.

7:53 pm

ch1212

thx, musicmom! JACULA ***^^^^%%%%%********* YEAHHH! Hip, hip HURRAH! Congrats!

7:54 pm

musicmom

ch - thanks I got it!!!!!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Thanks for holding my hand and guiding me over the last words, folks. Any help I can give now, just ask!

7:54 pm

LeslieAnn

wait i don't get it! someone explain the so 5/10 again??

7:55 pm

ch1212

jacula, I'm not sure about musicmom's clue on my ro5/16... It's the one between the ro 6/18 and ro 6/27. The ro 6/27 is the one using the rare con.

7:56 pm

musicmom

Sorry ch - that was the one I was thinking of. I'm thinking I don't have the word you need.

7:56 pm

ch1212

leslieann, she meant so + beverage letter, circle letter, and a consonent.

7:57 pm

LeslieAnn

aha thanks

7:57 pm

ch1212

thanks anyway, musicmom! (Love your hair btw)

7:58 pm

Jacula

ro5/16 - uses a high-scoring double-letter tile in the middle. A variation of croquet played with short-handled mallets on a hard court that is bounded by a concrete wall against which a ball may rebound and be retrieved.

7:58 pm

Jacula

In fact, the word's in the clue!

8:00 pm

ch1212

Got it, jacula! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Who is your icon? The hair is hilarious.
THANKS ALL -- done, done! Today's was a beastie.

8:00 pm

LeslieAnn

congrats ch!!

8:01 pm

Jacula

Well, ch1212 - depending on whether or not you've refreshed lately (F5'd that is, not showered!) it's either Weird Al or my friend's hubby.

8:01 pm

Jacula

*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR CH1212*~*~*~

8:02 pm

musicmom

Sorry I shouldn't try to give clues, search the grid and watch tv at the sme time. I am lost in the log.

8:03 pm

ch1212

Ah, Weird Al -- haven't seen him in a few years. Classic. Thanks again, all !

8:03 pm

musicmom

congrats ch!

8:04 pm

ch1212

musicmom, you do wonderfully! Please don't worry -- we all 'babble' along together :)

8:04 pm

musicmom

Thanks ch. Sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain.

8:04 pm

Jacula

MM - 'Lost In The Log' - you should write that on BabAnon for the Babble Parody song contest to the tune of Bonnie Tyler's 'Lost In France'.

8:05 pm

musicmom

good idea Jac. I haven't explored much of bab anon yet. I will do that.

8:06 pm

ch1212

Goodnight all. My beloved is feeling poorly and I need to go give him some more tea and hugs. Tomorrow!

8:06 pm

kristinc

I'm going crazy for 2 simple words I'm sure! Two of the three co 4/5s right before the 6/30 (which I am also msising). I do have the twisty co4/5. Can anyone save me? ;)

8:07 pm

musicmom

Good night ch. Hope to see you tomorrow.

8:08 pm

Jacula

Tomorrow is President's Day (both in US, a national holiday, I believe? and on Babble for the theme). Since I'm from UK and so don't really have any real knowledge of US presidents, I shall by myself (as I am when I photograph myself tomorrow).

8:08 pm

musicmom

not warm but co**
what a dove does

8:09 pm

kristinc

musicmom-oh give me a break! THANK YOU!

8:09 pm

Jacula

co** as ice.
Next one is what a dove or a new mother does.

8:09 pm

harpjane

Hello. I'm back after a shower. 142 to go. hmm. borderline.
The clues are really helping!

8:09 pm

musicmom

no problem - yw.

8:09 pm

musicmom

Hi Harp. Come visit with us.

8:11 pm

harpjane

I've been working really hard on this puzzle, instead of visiting. Figured that was my only hope!

8:12 pm

harpjane

I need a ce 4/5. It's one of the first ones--not the letters.

8:12 pm

musicmom

Yep I still have 70 words to go. I'm trying to ignore the log and watch it at the same time for clues.

8:13 pm

Jacula

Harp - that's what the clues are for. I leave clues, even if someone else has. Sometimes, if I don't understand a clue given, I think someone else may not either and so I try to give another perspective on it. Together, the clues all add up and often lead to words found.

8:13 pm

harpjane

Got the ce 4's. Now my last c--- the first 6/21?

8:14 pm

musicmom

Harp - it sounds like a brand of breath mints.

8:15 pm

harpjane

Got it, mm! Thanks!

8:15 pm

kristinc

while we're on the c's can someone help with my last two-the co 6/30 and the last co 5/14.
Musicmom-I kept writing clues to Harp and then you would beat me to the post...very speedy tonight! Well done!

8:17 pm

Jacula

Hi Kristinc. Like I said, or tried to say, multiple clues are not a bad thing. The different perspectives often lead to words being found.

8:17 pm

musicmom

the co 6/30 is a french flirt

8:18 pm

musicmom

I agree - the more clues the better. We all seem to have a different approach. That really helps.

8:18 pm

kristinc

true Jac...I always feel like such a heel though to post almost the same thing...trying counts right?

8:18 pm

kristinc

french? So my Spanish won't help me here?

8:19 pm

musicmom

How about the last er6/21?

8:19 pm

LeslieAnn

it's hot hot hot musicmom! ;)

8:19 pm

musicmom

use the high point consonant.
co+high pointer+vowel+cross

8:20 pm

LeslieAnn

musicmom i am watching desperate housewives your pic looks like bree!

8:21 pm

kristinc

wahooh and a big thank you for the revised clue for the co6/30...thoughts on the co 5/14?

8:22 pm

musicmom

This is lame Kristin but it sounds like a Russian soldier. I'm sorry that isn't very good.

8:23 pm

LeslieAnn

kristin there's a few co 5/14... do you know around where the one you need is?

8:23 pm

musicmom

Leslie Ann - it does look like her doesn't it?

8:23 pm

kristinc

yes sorry...last one

8:25 pm

LeslieAnn

the last one i have is the past tense of co** an apple, but i'm probably missing the last one too

8:25 pm

musicmom

UGh I'm still not seeing the er . Am I going to need a fish?

8:26 pm

kristinc

mm-er**** movies?

8:26 pm

musicmom

DUH! Thanks! Yep need the fishy please.

musicmom

Yeah Harp.

8:33 pm

kristinc

well done Harp!

8:33 pm

Jacula

do6/24 & the 8. The man in the white coat (think George Clooney in ER). For the 8 - think 'the results were do******' (false results).

8:33 pm

doxy1lover

way to go harp!!!

8:33 pm

harpjane

NO, wait! They're not ALL grey. Just a few. But I'm making progress!

OO words, anyone?

8:34 pm

Jacula

Harp - the oo words have been here in the grid before. Sound like a washing cream for jumpers without the first 'w' consonant.

8:34 pm

cybernan

oo's: oo + description of diet drink (L 4/4)

8:34 pm

kristinc

Thanks! I swear I tried that but clearly I didn't!

8:35 pm

aknitter

both oo's are a type of rock, limestone
oo + li 4/4 (not heavy)

8:35 pm

musicmom

Hi aknitter.

Never mind. I asked too soon. Got the sn's!

8:36 pm

Smeltzdog

I sheepishly enter the room.

8:36 pm

Jacula

sn5/12 - Derogatory in a malicious, superior way.

8:36 pm

cybernan

sn 5/12: sarcastic --- sn*** remark -- next two are built from it.

Got to run.

8:36 pm

aknitter

sn 5/12 is what most people consider me!! make a sn*** remark

8:37 pm

Jacula

Hi AKnitter. Where did you pop up from?

8:37 pm

aknitter

8:38 pm

Jacula

BRB - Want to snog my OH before he leaves for work.:-))))

Any help on the first do 5/12 and the do 6/21...Can't see how it is related to the first do 4/5 but maybe?

8:41 pm

aknitter

8:41 pm

mrpresident

Hi all!!

I have been hiding whilst this grid loads like a wharfie on Xmas day!!!

8:42 pm

doxy1lover

aknitter, they are thinking of the Austin Powers movies.

8:42 pm

aknitter

i have never seen those movies ( i am from another planet)

8:43 pm

musicmom

Kristin I'm still working on the do's as well.

8:43 pm

doxy1lover

8:46 pm

harpjane

Got it. thanks!

mm--er7--a prude would say it means nasty

8:46 pm

kristinc

oooh...MrP...a finisher. Do you happen to have a clue for the first do 5/12 and 6/21?

8:48 pm

doxy1lover

do5,6 - similar to a co word meaning tints or hues, change first letter

8:49 pm

kristinc

8:49 pm

mrpresident

do5 - 'US currency' remove one of the double letters in the middle and then plural for the 6

8:50 pm

LeslieAnn

8:50 pm

mrpresident

I am no good at clueing today... better dash off and do some cleaning! In-laws are coming

8:50 pm

Jacula

8:51 pm

doxy1lover

8:51 pm

kristinc

Bye Mr P!

8:51 pm

aknitter

oh few jac, thought that since there were those er words in the puzzle this site had become xxx rated ( i did cover my eyes)

8:51 pm

Jacula

How that turned into a shag is beyond us! No time for that at this time of the morn! LOL. Incidentally, if you said 'to shag a ball' here in UK, Lord knows what would happen!

8:52 pm

doxy1lover

bye mrp.

8:52 pm

aknitter

if someone sent me to shag a ball, i'd go and pick it up!!!

8:53 pm

Cathyar

ok...119 words to go yet and still no 10 or 11. i hate to ask for a clue but pride goeth b4 the fall. please?

8:53 pm

Jacula

Definitions of 'shag' that I know:

A bird
A dance
A type of carpet pile
And the ex-rated love-making kind.

8:54 pm

Cathyar

si ...something... hmmm

8:54 pm

harpjane

Jacula, it's also a "hair-don't!"

8:54 pm

aknitter

cathyar, i always make the long words one of my goals (i rarely complete a grid) the 10 and 11 (plural) have to do with outerspace and meteors and the like i will work on a better clue

8:55 pm

kristinc

si 4/5 +ro + li 4/4

8:55 pm

aknitter

jac i had a shag rug in my room as a teenager -- used to rake it daily to keep the pile up

8:56 pm

doxy1lover

si10,11 - besi** + r + opposite of heavy (spelled differently)

8:58 pm

Cathyar

GOSH LUV YA'S.... thanks! I'd have never gotten that!!

8:58 pm

aknitter

i can not make a single word off of the e or the o in the 4th line. i am convinced that they do not exist!!!

8:59 pm

Cathyar

same with me aknitter

9:02 pm

kristinc

*whispers* I have some but I couldn't begin to tell you which ones :( They have to exist though (missing many too btw)

9:02 pm

Jacula

Okay - me and Paul have snogged, laughed over the chat log, said 'bye, 'bye again and he's gone to work now. Who needs what clues?

9:03 pm

aknitter

i, for one am clue-less (as usual)

9:05 pm

doxy1lover

de6 - dry arid place, full of camels and oasis

9:05 pm

Jacula

Harp - forgot the shaggy perm! A hair don't? I loved my shaggy perm!

9:06 pm

kristinc

thanks...I imagine the 8 and 7 to follow then aren't related?

9:06 pm

Jacula

Damn, Doxy! Now I'm singing 'Midnight At The Oasis' (old Maria Muldoor hit'.

9:07 pm

doxy1lover

I'm off to find icon for tomorrow. Thanks for the help, see you tomorrow.

9:08 pm

doxy1lover

de8 - build on the de6, third vowel + consonant
de7 - after dinner treats

9:08 pm

Cathyar

de7 - what is good after supper

9:08 pm

aknitter

midnight at the oasis???? now that's a song i could have lived without thinking about. Jac if that gets stuck in my head ........

9:09 pm

Jacula

de8/50 - stupidhead word with no definition other than that it follows on from the dry sandy place with camels... de6/21-like. A 3rd vowel and then 3rd letter of the alphabet finish.

9:09 pm

doxy1lover

jac, ROFLMAO

9:10 pm

musicmom

the oe words? I'm assuming the 8 is a plural of the 7?

9:10 pm

aknitter

sned your camel to bed

9:10 pm

kristinc

ooh...thanks for the help on the de's!

9:10 pm

Jacula

Omigod! AKnitter's going to skewer me with her knitting pins! You are all witnesses to this! HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLP!

9:12 pm

aknitter

i will tie you up with wool first so that you do not get away. THEN pipe in the oasis song and drive you mad!!!!
I'd never use my needles as weapons (love them dearly)

9:13 pm

Jacula

MM - The best way to find the 'oe' words (no female hormones in this grid) is to Google the definition for the singular word: The centimeter-gram-second electromagnetic unit of magnetic intensity, equal to the magnetic intensity one centimeter from a unit magnetic pole.

9:13 pm

aknitter

Shadows painting our faces
Traces romance in our heads

9:14 pm

Jacula

No, no, AKnitter! Not an Oasis song! How could you be so cruel to a relative of George Harrison??

9:14 pm

kristinc

oh my Jac and aknit. You guys need peer mediation (or a mild sedative)! :)

9:14 pm

aknitter

oh make the voices stop....
Heaven holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon
Kick up a little dust

9:16 pm

musicmom

Whoohoooo got it....

"Little boxes little boxes on the hillsides...."

9:16 pm

Jacula

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

9:17 pm

aknitter

ty jac... you've sent me off on a much better song, one of my favs

9:18 pm

Jacula

*Jac looks to Heaven and says thank you to her cousin. Tells him his words stopped her being bound up in yarn and murdered.* LOL.

9:19 pm

aknitter

cousin? that is rather cool

9:19 pm

harpjane

The first te 6/18?

9:21 pm

Jacula

te6/18 - Cylindrical but usually slightly tapering at both ends, circular in cross section, and smooth-surfaced. Or te + 2nd re4/4.

9:22 pm

Jacula

AK - I think George would have rather liked this log, had he found it. Especially when it got what I would call 'heavy' on the discussion front.

9:25 pm

aknitter

i really loved his music, my older brothers were of the beatles error. i think they even had a band. i have seen a pic of my oldest brother in a nehru jacket with the little sunglasses -- guess he was a wanna-be LOL

9:25 pm

Jacula

A brief icon just loaded. Me wearing the false 70s 'tache. LOL. Enjoy! (It must be a Hair Don't!?)

9:26 pm

aknitter

passes a razor (def a hair don't)

9:27 pm

Jacula

The little sunglasses, AK, were more Macca and Lennon's style. Not George and not Richard.

9:27 pm

Cathyar

hey aknitter...did u ever find that e-word from the 4th line?

9:28 pm

aknitter

i'm still on the e-word hunt

9:28 pm

Jacula

LOL, AK. Okay, I'll shave it off! It was irritating my nostrils anyway.

9:28 pm

kristinc

Jac...seriously? Is that really you?

9:28 pm

Cathyar

it's e + the little bug that makes sheep itch!

9:29 pm

aknitter

might there be a clue flying about for the qu 6/27?

9:29 pm

Jacula

Kristinc - yes, that is me, trying to hold a false 'tache, the glue of which has gone, on.

Did that make any sense?

9:29 pm

kristinc

qu 6/27-add an r to your qu 5/16

9:30 pm

kristinc

sorry-to the second qu 5/16

9:30 pm

Cathyar

qu6/27 - there are 2 of them actually.

one who cites something previously written...
and the plural for same.

9:30 pm

kristinc

Jac...made sense, that is unreal!

9:30 pm

Jacula

qu6/27 - someone who spouts Shakespeare or whomever.

9:31 pm

aknitter

9:31 pm

musicmom

9:32 pm

Jacula

I think I deserve a nice Scottish Salmon for putting up my latest icon!

9:33 pm

aknitter

you'll get it caught in the fir

9:33 pm

musicmom

Jac that is hilarious.

9:33 pm

aknitter

oops fur

9:36 pm

Jacula

Kissing a man with a 'tache like the one one my icon is like kissing a toilet brush, And I should know, my ex-hubby sported such a 'tache. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy to prickley!

9:37 pm

aknitter

Cathyar -- are you still there? i have the e word form the 4th row. I don't know what it means but try this
e+the blood sucking bug that attaches to your dog (minus the last letter)

9:37 pm

Jacula

My Dad also sported such a 'tache, but, well, it was a different kind of kissing. LOL.

9:42 pm

aknitter

i'm only up to 165 words, don't think i'll even come close to completing this grid

9:43 pm

Jacula

I've changed my icon t my today one, but I'm going to nip off now while you sort your words out, all of you.

9:43 pm

musicmom

Good night Jac. I'm going to keep at it until the skating is over. Then I'm going to bed - done or not.

9:44 pm

aknitter

jac, that is much better -- a great improvement

9:45 pm

Jacula

Well, AK, I hope it helps your concentration. I'm off to a games site for a while.BBL.

9:45 pm

harpjane

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi JoJo -- sort of -- he caught his sister's cold and last night could not sleep as a result -- then this morning I noticed he was wheezing so we took him in to the ER to be safe and they have admitted him to observe overnight --- the pediatrician thinks they may keep him there for a couple of days -- Mom is staying there with him

10:13 pm

musicmom

Ahhhh. I get it.

10:13 pm

GreyWoulf

to5/16?

10:14 pm

Uneaixoise

to5/16 a kind of hat

10:14 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: That doesn't sound good. My prayers will be for Sebastion. Overnight?

10:15 pm

Uneaixoise

could be allergy and could be exacerbated by the cold weather . . . so sorry to hear

10:15 pm

Jacula

to5/16 - a hat. We've seen it before. In 3rd place it uses the double lettered tile.

10:15 pm

LeslieAnn

the to 5/16 uses that big-pointer in the bottom row

He tested pos for RVS so they want to keep him where they can watch him closely due to his extreme youth

10:16 pm

EasternBlue

Woulie - sending good thoughts to little Seb....

((((((HUG)))))))))

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry -- RSV -- the virus that you have to be careful about with children -- however everyone is fairly confident that there is nothing to worry about

10:17 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Guess I am stupid or something, but what is RSV?

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

RSV is a virus -- I actually don't know much more than that - since Kirsten is a nurse I let her keep track of that info -- all I know is that due to the separation, she is very brittle emotionally right now

10:19 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Glad to hear there is nothing to worry about. Kids are a gift. So glad that Kris is staying with him tonight. It does mean a lot, babies do remember.

10:21 pm

Jacula

GW - if Kirsten wasn't brittle emotionally and physically right now, I would have to wonder if she wasn't Wonderwoman! It's natural.

10:21 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: Tell Kirsten that she is making the right choice, staying overnight with Sebastian. You al will survive.

10:22 pm

musicmom

GW - best thoughts and prayers for Seb. Though common it still is stressful to have one so young ill.

10:22 pm

11:00 pm

kristinc

hooray une! Well done.

11:00 pm

harpjane

I'm afraid to compliment the icons today. What if I say "wow, your icon is a classic example of bad hair!" and then find out it is a self-portrait....

11:01 pm

harpjane

Of course, President Carter is my favorite president, AND he has bad hair....

11:07 pm

Jacula

I have no wish to talk about either presidents or prime ministers at this point.

11:09 pm

speedfreak

Wow: That was one long puzzle but I finished....have to say first time in months the last 50 I used a2z...but when I got that far I had to finish!!!!

11:59 pm

helenkeller

i just hope all the puzzles aren't this long
- don't think i will be able to fit that into my life

12:00 am

Jacula

oc7/32 - Oc +20th letter of the alphabet (first letter and sound of UK and India's favourite drink to cure all ills))is the start for both.

Best clue I can give you is for the oc7/32 = oc + French for 'three'. For the oc6 - remove the last letter.
