Morning Jane.. Blaze

12:17 am

Debs40ish

First two letters are the same...

12:21 am

Blaze

tnx Debs.... I had the word but needed to play with the spelling.... ohhhhh I not like those things much

12:22 am

Blaze

okay.... I know that there is no licorce, divorce or service.... no why can't I stop trying to make them work ???

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

G'Morning all -- just checking the board to see if I may work on it later :)

My laundry is done and I should go to beddy bye

12:23 am

Debs40ish

Morning Woulf... How's Sebastian?

12:23 am

Blaze

Hello GW how is the little girl and the new man and Mama... is mama on her feet yet ??

12:23 am

Angelsong

GW, how's Sebastian? can you do me a favor?

12:24 am

paganlady

I have a whopping 22 words and I am stuck :-(
to think that I am the one at work who obsessively corrects the spelling (and grammar) in the memos.

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

He is doing well -- they are keeping him in the hospital primarily as a precaution due to his age -- but since we caught the symptoms just as they first manifested he is not in any serious danger at all

12:25 am

cybernan

Ah, but paganlady, half the words here are questionable.

12:25 am

Blaze

PL that is great for a first timer... just keep going...there are little groups of words... just look up and down and all around.....

12:25 am

outnumbered

paganlady--a lot of these words just aren't used in normal conversation. you get better the more often you play.

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- what do you need?

12:26 am

Blaze

I missed that.... is Seb in hosp for the coughing he was doing the other nite..??

12:26 am

paganlady

I appreciate the encouragement... the stats page really messes me up too... doesn't make sense to me.

12:26 am

Debs40ish

I didn't know he was in hospital Woulf.. I hope he gets home to you all soon ((((hugs))))

12:27 am

Angelsong

GW, on BabAnon, I've posted a link: Announcing a new Babble Resource". Can you go take a peek and see what you think?

12:27 am

Blaze

what stats page are you looking at ??

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze -- Saturday he had trouble sleeping and when I noticed that he was wheezing I woke Kirsten who said he should go to the ER -- he caught RSV (a respiratory virus) from his sister -- so they admitted him to the hospital since he is only 3 weeks old

12:28 am

paganlady

where the link is to flip to stats

12:29 am

Blaze

Pagan lady.... are you a pro babbler ???

12:29 am

paganlady

yes... in name only <wry grin> I paid for babble pro

12:29 am

outnumbered

GreyWoulf--oh how scary. My 4-year-old got RSV when he was 3 months and was admitted. I was just petrified, even though he really didn't have as bad a case as he could. Hope your little one is better soon.

12:30 am

Blaze

have you entered your profile
What do you see when you click flip to stats ?

12:30 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- I think it is absolutely cool!!!

12:30 am

paganlady

in the first line alone in the stats page it has S words listed twice... I'm confused

12:31 am

Blaze

click on the need help with stats...
the numbers are the amount of words made from that letter... two S means each has words that they start....

12:31 am

Angelsong

GW: does it make sense?

12:32 am

ch1212

Angelsong, I just checked out your new page with the links in babanon -- wonderful! I have bookmarked it and now I can delete all those resource pages I had in separate places, because you have them all in one spot! BLESS YOU!! THANK YOU!!!!

12:32 am

harpjane

Paganlady, the letters in the stats page correspond with the letters in the grid. So if there are two s in the top row of the grid, the stats page will separate them also.

12:32 am

paganlady

the first line has S/6 and S/22

12:33 am

Blaze

yes 6 words from that letter and then 22 from the other

12:33 am

paganlady

ah... .that's it... thank you so much Jane... that's what had me baffled

12:33 am

Angelsong

ch: I will happily create a page like that for you, if you like. no cost. I do them for fun.

12:34 am

GreyWoulf

outnumbered -- thanks for the empathy -- it is a bit nervewracking, but thankfully, Momma is a nurse so what we are dealing with is not so much a fear factor as a concern over getting back to our normal routine -- it is very hard on our daughter since she hasn't seen her mother in 2 days -- children under 12 are not allowed in the pediatric wing until April

12:35 am

ch1212

Greywoulf, just saw your posts. We are keeping your little ones in heartfelt prayer. Thank goodness you insisted on the hospital. RSV is serious. Bless you and your family.

angelsong, I thought I could just bookmark it and use the one you have on babanon... do you mean that the page is a 'sample' with no actual links?

12:36 am

outnumbered

oh, gosh, I can imagine that'd be tough. glad your dw is a nurse, that has to help tremendously. can see how it'd throw the family totally off though. how old is your dd?

12:36 am

cindasu

angel as a new player i like your page very helpful ty

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- it makes sense to me :)
and like ch1212 I have bookmarked it for easy reference ;D

12:37 am

cybernan

Hi GW -- sorry to hear your little ones have got a bug -- hoping for a speedy recovery.

12:38 am

GreyWoulf

ch1212 -- actually, the hospital stay was at the dr's insistence, but we are not ones to go against the advice of the professional in these circumstance

12:39 am

paganlady

angel as a new player may I have a link please?

12:40 am

mrpresident

evening all! how is puzzle land today?

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

outnumbered -- my daughter is 2 and a half -- and the vector for the RSV -- when we took my son in for his well baby visit, there was another little boy in the waiting room and she played with him

12:40 am

Angelsong

ch: no. that page and its content are fully functional. I posted it so Babblers can have a look at it. If you want a page to keep in a folder on your hard drive, I can make one for you, so if the page doesn't load, you will still have your own. I made that one in about 15 minutes, so it's easy to do. I will make those pages for anyone who would like one. It's just text, so it's safe to open in your browser.

12:41 am

ch1212

In any case, GW... although I do NOT believe that families should be separated in hospital settings. Wish they would let siblings see each other, like the birthing suites so many hospitals have these days.

12:41 am

chic

Hi Mrp, GW and All...

12:41 am

GreyWoulf

And as always -- my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your ongoing support and prayers :)

(*Hugs to all*)

12:42 am

outnumbered

oh gosh, that takes me back. my oldest, then 2, caught it (I imagine at daycare) and gave it to his 3-month-old brother. it was so traumatic for me--dh was at boot camp, and I had a sick 2 y/o and an infant in the hospital.

12:42 am

Angelsong

paganlady, you can find the link at Babbler's Anonymous; general, announcing a new Babble resource...or, as I said, I will most happily make one for you.

12:42 am

outnumbered

they both wound up on breathing treatments after...I remember my oldest running circles in the living room from the albuterol! but 2 weeks later both were back to normal.

12:43 am

ch1212

Angelsong, you are so gracious! If you don't mind I would be honored :) My em is ch1212@hotmail.com if you need it to send the page along. Thank you so much!

12:43 am

mrpresident

Hi Chic

12:43 am

ch1212

MrP are those two cuties yours? Twins? They are precious!

12:43 am

paganlady

Angelsong... thanx bunches... I will check out
Babblers Anon another time

12:44 am

mrpresident

ch12... they are my precious ones... 1 year apart!! may as well have been twins... LOL

12:44 am

cybernan

good job, angelsong! --- a great resource.

12:44 am

Angelsong

oh, cool, ch! I'd love to do this for you. what colors do you like?

12:45 am

GreyWoulf

ch1212 -- I agree with you that family's shouldn't be separated, but on the other hand I understand the hospital's policy -- the highest incidence of RSV is during the winter -- so they do not let anyone under 12 into the peds wing between November to March -- if it were summer, they would let Kristianna see her brother

12:47 am

Blaze

87 to go now I need tea... be back shortly

12:47 am

GreyWoulf

paganlady -- Welcome to Babbleonia!! Our insane asylum away from the insane asylum!!

Sorry to be so late in greeting you, but as you have seen I have some other things going on that are a little distracting ;)

Never be afraid to ask us anything, we are here to help maximise your Babbling pleasure!

12:48 am

ch1212

oooh, I get to pick out colors?! Let's see... purple and gold ... or forest green and ocean blue. Either combo would be wonderful!

GW, that does make sense. Hopefully your little son will be home shortly.

12:48 am

chic

Time to hit the hay.... 'nite, all... and glad for you GW that all is going well now...(((Hugs))) to all.

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

We are hoping for a Wed return -- they haven't given a specific time frame, but he seems to be recovering fairly quickly since they started with the nebulizer treatments :)

They want his doses to be 4 hours apart before they send him home -- so Wed is a reasonable probability

12:50 am

Angelsong

ch, I have a couple of good sources of free templates; I'll see what I can find for you. I'll send you some links to look at to choose a template you like, then I will make the page for you. I will send you full instructions, also, OK?

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

((**chic**)) -- sorry I didn't say hi before :)

12:51 am

SweetTooth

Hello all

12:51 am

outnumbered

well I will have to go to bed with just 53...kids will be up early in the morning, and it helps to be awake when driving the oldest to school ;)

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- if you would do the same for me I would appreciate it -- I like the idea of custom and not pink ;D
Address is in my profile

12:52 am

Angelsong

I'm not finding any words with more than 5 letters, save one lonely little six letter word :(

12:53 am

Angelsong

GW, happy to!

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

I haven't entered a word yet!

12:54 am

ch1212

sorry, I had to step away for a moment. My beloved has been in bed with a nasty respiratory bug, fever of 102 F, coughing, etc. I've been nursing the past 3 days, and he just woke up again. Time for more acetominephen. Thank you, Angelsong, please do send the instruction/templates along! You are so wonderful to do this!

12:55 am

Angelsong

got your e mail address, GW...do you have a preference as far as color?

12:56 am

GreyWoulf

Hi mrp! mamabear and I just played Literati before :)

It was great, even though at one point I fell asleep on her
(*blush*)

12:57 am

GreyWoulf

Angel -- I'll have to think about that one and get back to you -- my brain is fogging over -- I really meant to do a quick in and out but got sucked into the chat like I always do

12:57 am

ch1212

say what?!! GW do I understand that you and mambear ... she's your mate? Wow, married babblers! And I thought my beloved and I were the only two :)

12:58 am

GreyWoulf

ch -- no, mama is just a friend

12:58 am

mrpresident

grey... did you win!!?? or did mamabear beat your a** LOL

12:59 am

ch1212

(he answers quickly, lest the misunderstanding grow) Well, that's pretty terrific too. She's a babble icon for many of us too, and wonderful with clues.

12:59 am

GreyWoulf

Kirsten is my lady, but she doesn't believe that she has the capacity or the patience to willingly suffer the torture of the grid :D

1:00 am

Angelsong

could I have some help with the 8's and 9?

1:00 am

ch1212

okay, I'm off to administer meds and hugs and take temperature once again -- be back later.

1:00 am

mrpresident

ch12.. my OH is licketysplitAUS and he is a big babble cheat!! Watch him!!

1:00 am

GreyWoulf

mrp -- I won but I did end up getting the majority of the high point tiles

1:00 am

cybernan

half way and the eyes are glazing over -- good night all.

1:01 am

ch1212

I'll keep an eye out, mrp. 'night cybernan, sleep well.

1:01 am

mrpresident

bye cybernan! Lovely photos btw!!

ch12... who is your beautiful photo of??

1:01 am

GreyWoulf

I am right behind you c-nan :)

(*Hugs to all*) -- I will see you tomorrow night when I will begin this thing

Time for some much needed slumber :)

1:03 am

mrpresident

nite grey... don't let mamabear sucker you in... she lets you win for a couple of games,
then POW!!

1:05 am

Angelsong

8's and the 9? I"m going stare-blind.........

1:06 am

mrpresident

STATS is up on babanon

1:06 am

ch1212

one last post -- mrp, that's my little beauty, except she's 30 years old now, and engaged for the first time (like me, late bloomer!) She just finished her Masters Degree in Education and is an amazing woman. She was loads of fun at the age this photo was taken. Okay, night all! My husband is asleep again, so I have to take advantage of it too before he's up again.

1:07 am

mrpresident

ch12... she is beautiful and you must be so proud!!
goodnight to you and your sick OH! hope he is better soon
:))

1:10 am

SweetTooth

Angelsong,

sp 8/50 builds on sp 5/14 - faster
sp 9 builds on sp 6/24 - arachnid
both have the same ending

1:14 am

mrpresident

thanks sweet!!

1:18 am

SweetTooth

you're welcome!

1:33 am

mrpresident

that vi8 is a doozie!!

1:36 am

mrpresident

sounds like a treatment for herpes....

1:40 am

SweetTooth

or a treatment for what GreyWoulf's baby has.

2:00 am

dalmatian5

Candy and flowers to Angelsong! You work is impressive and so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to pull so much information into one place!!!!

2:12 am

ARB

any help on the first ir 4/5 ?

2:15 am

dalmatian5

Are any of you finding this to be a difficult puzzle?

2:16 am

SweetTooth

ir 4/5 - to anger

add a man's name to the end

2:37 am

sprite

Morning dear gang :)

2:38 am

mrpresident

Hi Sprite!

2:38 am

SweetTooth

Dalmation - when I started the grid I thought it was a little difficult but once you get into the groove it's not so bad.

I'm done.....would anyone like some clues before I leave?

2:38 am

dalmatian5

Chat got quiet Sprite. I wonder who is here!

2:38 am

sprite

Ha mrP! How's the grid today?

2:38 am

SweetTooth

Hi Sprite!

2:39 am

sprite

Hi dalmatian, SweetTooth :D Good to see you guys!

2:39 am

dalmatian5

I guess I am all the vowels are throwing me.

2:41 am

sprite

Vowel words are harder. Don't know why, but they are. Did I ever mention I hate K-words, btw? ;)

2:41 am

sprite

Okay, I have to correct that. I just found a K4 I don't hate at all.

2:41 am

dalmatian5

There are only 2 K words so they will not be a problem for you Sprite.

2:43 am

sprite

Darn... so there is another one. Better get that out of the way now then... *goes K-hunting*.
I deserve a lot of K4's for finding that K4, really.

2:44 am

dalmatian5

The other K sounds like a nickname for a girl.

2:44 am

sprite

I just tried 'kivi'. Need I say more? ;)

2:44 am

mrpresident

well... it is a challenge!

2:45 am

sprite

Ah... got it! Sounds japanese to me.

2:45 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, I think it's a Japanese word, has to do with Shinto.

2:46 am

sprite

From your brain right to my fingers, SweetTooth!

2:47 am

dalmatian5

I really think amor and amore should be allowed. We sure use them enough in out conversations.

2:48 am

sprite

I agree fully, dalmation. Especially since 'eros' is allowed.

2:48 am

SweetTooth

Sprite, let's try that trick next time I need a word.

2:49 am

sprite

It's a deal, SweetTooth :)

2:52 am

sprite

I just got thinking about your remark, dalmatian.
What a world we live in, if 'armor' is allowed and 'amor' isn't.

2:53 am

dalmatian5

Why are we not surprised?

2:54 am

sprite

That's the real sad thing... that it is not even surprising anymore. More love and K4's and amor and eros is needed in this world! :)

2:56 am

SweetTooth

I agree, Sprite

2:57 am

dalmatian5

And it seems like the world is getting farther apart and more violent instead of closer together and getting along.

2:57 am

sprite

You know, I really appreciate the gentleness of the chat here - I think it is special.

2:59 am

dalmatian5

I have never been fortunate enough to be in a chat area where so much of the world is represented and yet everyone gets long so well and is so special to everyone else. I love just sitting back and reading others chat.

3:01 am

sprite

That's exactly what I feel about this chat.
Well, at least it shows that it CAN be done! :) There is always H4 for the world too then.

3:02 am

dalmatian5

I think that is one of the main problems. Individually folks seem to get along quite well. It is when the government steps in and politics get involved there are problems.

3:02 am

SweetTooth

I don't chat anywhere else so I can't compare, but people seem to be very kind and supportive here. Now if only the world leaders could learn from us!

3:03 am

sprite

Hear hear! We should make the President take lessons from our mrP.

3:11 am

SweetTooth

Time for bed, goodnight all.

3:11 am

dalmatian5

Sweet dreams Sweet Tooth.

3:11 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, SweetTooth :)

3:12 am

SweetTooth

You too Dalmation!

Sprite, have a great day!

3:13 am

sprite

Okay... 'moreover' and 'coerce' are NOT in the grid. I tried often enough to be sure.

3:33 am

Atalante

there are 8 and 9 letter words in here? LOL. Stupid grid!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Atalante - you should 'quickly' find at least one of the 8 letter words.

3:48 am

Atalante

ooooh yes!

3:51 am

mrpresident

Finished!! Yee Haa! that was alright!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Congratulations - so it can be done!

3:54 am

mrpresident

sp9 - the 8 legged creature, works off that
sp8 - be faster than... both have same letter endings

3:56 am

Haz1558

I hope there are no arachnophobes on today!

3:57 am

mrpresident

better go watch CSI-NY... miss my gary!

3:57 am

mrpresident

bye all, enjoy!!

(wave)

3:58 am

Haz1558

Bye - enjoy CSI!

4:17 am

Atalante

If only we could have epicerie

4:19 am

sprite

I agree.
Hi Atalante :)

4:20 am

Atalante

hi Sprite!

4:22 am

sprite

Don't know why, but I am having trouble with this grid. Run out of easy-to-find words long before I hit the halfway mark. But slowly getting there :)
How are you doing?

4:22 am

Atalante

I dont like it much either. Got 70 words to go, and distinctly slowing down ...

4:23 am

dalmatian5

Thanks for saying that Sprite. You are always so sharp. This grid is giving me the blues too! I know you do not use BJ's list but I have to say without it I doubt I would be able to tackle this one.

4:25 am

sprite

I still need 26 more words, stats panel is already open en I am contemplating A2Z seriously. Still need 4 more 7s as well... tough grid for me!

4:29 am

Atalante

I will *not* look at BJs list. I will *not not not*!

4:30 am

sprite

Some words I had trouble finding: one of the biggies is R7, plural of compound grass.
There is a Pt6/21 (really), drooping eyelid.
And there is an S-word that ends in a V.

4:30 am

Haz1558

'Atalante was carried off by men in white coats. Her only words were "I will not look, I will not look"'

4:30 am

sprite

LOL!

4:31 am

Atalante

sounds about right! I've got the pt word, off to search for the R grass

4:34 am

sprite

I will never learn to find the compounds right away. The leggy S9 is so much easier to spot than that Re7. Teaches me something about the way my mind works... I can see patterns in almost everything, but am blind to putting together a few simple things.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Sprite - I set off to look for the s word ending in v then realised I already had it! It'll be a familiar word to lots of British people.

4:35 am

sprite

Haz: it was new to me, found it monkeytyping systematically... that's when I know I am in trouble! ;)

4:35 am

Atalante

and dont forget its plural ;)

4:35 am

sprite

It has a plural too. Figures. *hits self on the head*

4:35 am

Haz1558

It was used to describe black marketeer types during the Second World War.

4:36 am

Atalante

same here - I hate compounds - I just don't see them

4:37 am

Haz1558

'Sprite was admitted to hospital with a self-inflicted head injury. Her only words were "Plurals, I must remember plurals."

4:37 am

sprite

Thanks Haz, didn't know that :)
Never came across it in the meaning that the dictionary gives, so this helps!

4:38 am

sprite

NO! NOOOOOOO!
I want to be carried away by nice men in white coats too, so Atalante and I can keep eachother company!

4:39 am

Atalante

we'd both end up in the hospital Sprite!! :)

4:39 am

sprite

As long as it is the same hospital, it's okay ;)

4:39 am

Haz1558

We'll bear it in mind!

4:41 am

sprite

V8/65!
Sounds like a detergent for very tiny bugs.
If you could see me now... jumping up and down my chair from pure joy and pride, lol.

4:42 am

Atalante

omg! go you! I nearly tried that ages ago and thought it looked too silly even to try! LOL

4:43 am

davetins

arb past tense of anger??

4:43 am

sprite

I thought I'd try that ending to anything even remotely likely... it took! :) :)

4:44 am

sprite

davetins: i4 angered.

4:50 am

davetins

TY sprite but I was trying to help ARB

4:50 am

Atalante

words I want to type today: diorite, epicerie, orifice

4:51 am

sprite

Oh yes! Especially that orifice, because orivice is there... argh!

4:53 am

davetins

Any help on the sp7/36, next to last sp4/8 please

4:53 am

sprite

Sorry davetins, didn't recognize arb as name ;)

4:54 am

davetins

OK, no prob Sprite

4:56 am

sprite

davetins: resembling an ever ingoing circle (or outgoing, now I think about it).

4:57 am

Adsman

Hi, how many words are there today

4:58 am

sprite

157

4:59 am

Adsman

thanx sprite

5:00 am

sprite

And about 137 of them are hard, lol.
Done! Any clues I can help out with before I go pay some attention to my offspring?

5:02 am

davetins

Don't get the circle clue Sprite

5:03 am

davetins

Got it TY sprite

5:04 am

sprite

davetins: it isn't exactly a circle, but I can't give the right word for it. A shape that starts out like a circle, but circles nearer towards the middle with every turn.
You'll need the ending that means "resembling something".

5:04 am

sprite

Too late with the clue, lol. Glad you found it.

5:06 am

davetins

Ty anyway sprite, I'm stuck on the re6/21 and 7/36 before the long grass

5:07 am

sprite

I do not have a Re6/21?

5:08 am

davetins

sorry, 6/24

no sign of the V8 or the sp9?

5:47 am

Jacula

Well, I've typed all my words from my written list (1st sweep of the grid) in. 109 words. I'm quite pleased, though I would like to know why one cow cannot be 'mooier' than another! :-)

5:49 am

Jacula

sp9/66 (Just got it!) - more 8-legged!

5:49 am

macadam

What an awful word though.

5:54 am

Jacula

This was Sprite's clue for the v8:

Sounds like a detergent for very tiny bugs.
If you could see me now... jumping up and down my chair from pure joy and pride, lol.

macadam

vi8 an agent that inhibits or destroys viruse

5:56 am

6:03 am

macadam

7:15 am

gramma

I remember when I 1st started and was scared to death to jump in on the conversations and munner was so welcoming and kind. ( since then, I've learned that evry1 is.) I also recall there was an illness involved. So I'm hoping all is well. 8}

7:17 am

lottijw

I must admit, it does seem a long time since i last saw Munner around. Like you say, i hope all is well :)

musicmom

Morning all. Angelsong - love the resource page. Thanks!

7:30 am

Angelsong

musicmom: I would be very happy to make a page like that one for any Babbler who wants one.

7:31 am

musicmom

Wow Angel that's really nice. let me think about it. I can see it would be useful. There are resources I don't use because I have to go find them every time.

7:32 am

Angelsong

musicmom, making the pages is fun! just let me know.

7:33 am

musicmom

Okay I will. I'm going to be popping in and out today -Tuesday is a teaching day. Tomorrow I will be around most of the day. Let me get my thoughts together on what I would want.

7:37 am

Haz1558

I'm taking a break for lunch but will be back shortly. I've managed to finish the grid, but giving clues for some of the words will be 'challenging'.

7:37 am

musicmom

Enjoy your meal Haz. Congrats on the finish. this is a weird one.

7:38 am

lottijw

See you later Haz :)
Just off to get more coffee!!!! Back in a sec :)

7:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, and don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise!

7:51 am

EvaNadine

angelsong -- just checked out the page, and it looks pretty good!
a very good place to send beginning babblers to, so we dont have to explain everything umpteen million times.
;)

7:52 am

Angelsong

evanadine: I did that page for myself initially to keep everything handy. Worked so well, I decided to share. I posted it online so Babblers could see it...and I'm offering to make a page like it for anyone wanting one. I love making them.

7:53 am

EvaNadine

maybe you could just "Become a Friend" of babble + have it posted on the list of links!

7:54 am

Angelsong

I did post a link to Babble on my blog when I went Pro in December, and notified Jamie...but he hasn't linked my blog or anything.

7:58 am

EvaNadine

maybe you should notify him again -- he does get backed up sometimes, especially since hes working on a new game.
;)

8:03 am

Angelsong

just sent Jamie another e mail about it.

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! on way to stupid meeting - see you all later!

8:09 am

Jacula

8:15 am

Bugzy

Hey Karys :)
Angel - Love the site! I have it in my favorites now... Thanks for putting it together :)

8:29 am

8:39 am

Bugzy

Yay Ouwachita !!
I need about 100 clues LOL

8:40 am

spellit

Well done Ouwachita - you're way ahead of me today

8:40 am

Ouwachita

8:42 am

Bugzy

Thanks - that makes it SOOO much easier! ;)

8:47 am

Angelsong

clues for the 8's? I did find the 9.

8:47 am

Bugzy

I do have a legit question - are the oo6 and oo7 related to the oo5 somehow? My monkeys aren't finding them...

8:48 am

Ouwachita

no....think eskimo

8:48 am

outnumbered

I need the ce 6/27 and de 6/24 please :)

8:50 am

lshult

eskimo??????????

8:51 am

Bugzy

angel - the 8s are:
sp8 - faster
vi8 - something that kills viruses

8:51 am

Ouwachita

oo6 and oo7...A large open Inuit or Eskimo boat made of skins stretched on a wooden frame, usually propelled by paddles. The 007 is the plural

8:51 am

Sushi

thanks for the eskimo clue. and the way to find it on morewords.com

8:52 am

Haz1558

de6/24 is a term for a law or commandment

8:52 am

Bugzy

Thanks Ouwachita ... now we have to know Eskimo words??? Yikes...

8:53 am

Haz1558

By the way take off the e from eskimo and see what you get.

8:53 am

EvaNadine

how about a clue for the 9 then?

8:53 am

Bugzy

TY Haz for the sk :)

8:54 am

Haz1558

sp 9 - shaky handwriting can be described as being like an insect. Make this the comparative adjective

8:55 am

Sushi

did everyone get the "turning on your foot in basketball" and the "chunk of grass that I uproot in golf?"

8:55 am

hurshy

oh my, this may be one of the ugliest grids i've ever seen

8:55 am

Haz1558

ce 6/27 - add a word that means to tear then add a letter at the top

8:55 am

hurshy

am i sensing that there's no list today, either?!?!?!?!

8:56 am

Bugzy

Oooh. TY Sushi... I got the basketball one but forgot the golf one !

8:56 am

EvaNadine

thanks haz -- great clue for the 9!

8:56 am

outnumbered

thanks haz!

8:57 am

Bugzy

Hi Hurshy. If you know Eskimo, the grid's a snap today !

8:57 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked for you!

8:58 am

Bugzy

And TY Haz for the ce6, too :)

8:58 am

hurshy

lucky for me i spent a year in a remote alaskan village learning the native language just for this very moment

8:58 am

hurshy

nobody has answered my question about the list yet, and i'm sort of panicking

8:59 am

Haz1558

We're toying with you.

8:59 am

Bugzy

Yes, there is a list today. Thank goodness :)

8:59 am

Sushi

Hurshy - do I sense a dependency issue with lists? You can go solo today!

8:59 am

hurshy

you, haz? i would never have believed it if i hadn't heard it with my own eyes

9:00 am

hurshy

i've gone solo before - but i like going solo when there is a list better than when there isn't. having a safety net makes it easier to walk that tightrope.

9:00 am

ToeSockMonkey

Hello all!

9:00 am

Sushi

Clue #798 - Te....warm water.

9:01 am

9:05 am

Angelsong

9:06 am

hurshy

9:07 am

Sushi

Go ahead Angel... throw us a bone.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

Haz1558

Angelsong

Sushi...throw you a bone?

9:11 am

Angelsong

hey bunny! go look at my newest post on BA under General...Announcing a new resource.......

bunnyvicious

Jeez, you've been busy!!

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

Wow, Angelsong, now I can clear out my favorite places file and just have one spot, that's really nifty! TY!!

9:17 am

Jacula

Oops! Got kicked off when 'an error occurred' whilst I was scanning in some pics for today's icon theme.

9:18 am

Bugzy

Hi Bunny Fit1 and Harp... and anyone else I missed while lost in the grid.... :)

9:18 am

Haz1558

Do we need to refresh, Jacula?

9:18 am

bunnyvicious

TY, but I do pretty well with these things, I sell on ebay and have mastered the riddle of HTML and templates...kinda, lol!!

9:19 am

Jacula

Haz - Yes. A fave pic of my daughter (now nearly 19) as a baby. Who's got the biggest eyes, her or the squeaky frog? LOL.

9:19 am

bunnyvicious

Bugzy, super cute boys you have!!

9:20 am

bunnyvicious

ahhhh, she's cute! I love baby pictures!

9:20 am

Bugzy

Thanks Bunny ! Are those the twins? They are adorable as well :)

9:20 am

bunnyvicious

No, that's Eycsis and Sahera, they are 9 and 7

9:22 am

Bugzy

Oops .... So hard to see in the little icons ...
I love baby/kid pictures too :)

I know, need just a little more space.

9:23 am

ToeSockMonkey

MOO!

9:24 am

hurshy

di6?

9:24 am

Jacula

Either Toe's got Mad Cow Disease or she's seen 'Moo' in the grid.:-)

9:25 am

Jacula

di6/24 - more risky.

9:25 am

ToeSockMonkey

Both actually

9:25 am

hurshy

wow, this grid is a lot easier with the list

9:25 am

hurshy

ah, thanks jac

9:26 am

ToeSockMonkey

and I feel like a moo cow with all I have been eating lately! So hard doing for 2 instead of one! LOL

9:26 am

Jacula

Toes - I asked earlier why one cow can't be 'mooier' than another.:-)

9:26 am

ch1212

morning all. Beautiful children everyone!! ToeSock, I think you could scan a baby bootie for your icon today :)

9:26 am

Jacula

y/w, Hurshy.

9:26 am

ToeSockMonkey

Oopies! I missed it sorry! Ummmmm why? :)

9:27 am

Bugzy

For 2 Toes?? Does this mean a Baby Toe is on the way ??

9:27 am

hurshy

not to be technical, but if tsm is pregnant, i'm hoping her body now contains twenty toes in all

9:27 am

ToeSockMonkey

Yes I went to the doctor today. It's true... it's for real... it's for sure... It was chatted about yesterday but some of you were not around then

9:27 am

gramma

OMG.....I'm so sad :(
It's over and I didn't even see it coming. What the ??!!? I want more. Any1 need a clue?

9:29 am

bunnyvicious

Toesock, 20 toes? Twins? I think I'm lost, repairmen just showed up and I had to scurry to hide all the laundry I have scattered about!

9:29 am

Lupe613

TSM - you're lucky you are able to eat. I couldn't eat anything for a while - lost 10lbs during my first three months and was bed-ridden for two weeks and had to be hospitalized for dehydration. I was nauseous my whole pregnancy.

9:30 am

Jacula

CONGRATS, Toes. Lovely news. Another Babblebabe on the way.:-))))

9:30 am

ToeSockMonkey

(((M_Fan))) Thank you darlin! :) Your creative... help me think of a fun name? :)

9:30 am

hurshy

no no this is how rumors start, oh dear
i meant ten toes on one baby plus tsm's own ten

9:31 am

Bugzy

Congrats TSM!!! :D
Hope everything goes smoothly for you! (((Toes)))

9:31 am

ToeSockMonkey

(((Lupe))) Yeah I am afraid of how bad it could feel

9:31 am

hurshy

if you want a FUN name, you should go with bozo. bozo was very fun.

9:31 am

Miyavi_fan

lol...I wouldn't trust me with that, Toes! But you'll make such a brilliant mother!

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

OOPS! Sorry! First trimester is the worst, after that, you can take something for the nausea if it continues. Congratulations!

9:32 am

Lupe613

TSM - sounds like you are fine!!! Hopefully it will be that way until the baby arrives!!

9:32 am

Bugzy

When I had severe nausea with my 2nd, they changed my prenatal vitamin to one that helps with that. Made it all better !!

9:32 am

hurshy

official protest - mo7 is a ridiculous word

9:32 am

gramma

TSM, that's amazing. A new life growing in you. Wow. Lots of love and hugs to you.

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

I wanted to name Sahera, Amythest and the twins Winter and Whisper, but I got vetoed :(

9:33 am

Jacula

I was lucky. I didn't have morning sickness during either of my pregnances. My icon is my two fiends dressed as a vampire and a mummy one Hallowe'en now.

9:33 am

Lupe613

Bugzy - I couldn't take any vitamins.... :-(

9:33 am

Jacula

*or even pregnancies!

9:34 am

bunnyvicious

OOh, Lupe, that would have been awful. I think th pre natals saved my teeth during the last one, gave me what little energy I had!

9:34 am

Lupe613

Jac - you were blessed!!

9:34 am

hurshy

hmm, hurshy having trouble with both or's

9:34 am

Bugzy

That stinks Lupe. That vitamin was a lifesaver for me! I had no nausea with my first, so it just floored me !

9:35 am

ToeSockMonkey

huge hugs gramma! :)

9:35 am

Haz1558

or plus the almost duck
or plus almost duck but change a vowel

9:35 am

Lupe613

bunny, it was awful...... but worth it. The weirdest part is that the minute he came out, I felt the nausea go away!!

9:35 am

Bugzy

Care to give a hint for the mo7, hurshy??

9:35 am

Jacula

Lupe - Yes. Mind you, my eldest did make up for it by being breech. T'was pretty painful bringing him naturally and with no painkillers.:-( Didn't stop me having a 2nd child though. She was born at home, right way round and it was a breeze.

9:35 am

gramma

Hey. I have a great idea....name the baby, " gramma". Then if it's a girl, she won't have to change it when she gets older. ^_^

9:35 am

bunnyvicious

Toesock, first child?

9:36 am

ToeSockMonkey

Ever since I started feeling like a prego I started seeing the world differently. Honestly before I even knew I was preggers, life looked more beautiful... Am I crazy???

OUCH! Jac! You brave woman!!

9:36 am

Haz1558

Mo 4/5 - if it had an adjective, then mo 7 would be the comparative.

9:37 am

Jacula

Lupe - Stubborn maybe, not sure about brave. LOL.

9:37 am

Lupe613

TSM - it's an amazing experience....

9:37 am

Bugzy

It'll be that way for the rest of your life TSM. You're not crazy, just a mom :)

9:37 am

bunnyvicious

It's just pregger glow, wait til the poopy diapers kick in!!

9:37 am

hurshy

haz - what is an almost duck?

9:37 am

Haz1558

ei4/5 is almost ei5

9:38 am

Atalante

ok, I'm guessing at the theme here ... small children and monkeys? or do small children fit under monkeys, or monkeys under small children?

9:38 am

Miyavi_fan

mind you, I'd think there was something to be said for a baby that at least kicks around a bit and makes it's presence known! When my mum was pregnant with me, I was so quiet they thought I'd be stillborn :/ Scary

9:38 am

hurshy

OHHHH

9:38 am

Bugzy

LOL Gramma... except if its a boy I think it should be Gramps :)

9:38 am

Jacula

The 'ducks' are the ones you get down from for an ei*****.

9:39 am

Bugzy

Atlante - my small children act like monkeys all the time!!!

9:39 am

Jacula

Atalante. LOL. Have you taken your medication today?:-)

9:39 am

gramma

TSM, my daughter is moving to Chicago, hopefully. She would like to teach there. She's flying out in March for some interviews. If she gets a job, I'll come out to visit and see my namesake.

9:40 am

Atalante

ummm ... well I've had some chocolate! that's the best medication!

9:40 am

bunnyvicious

Lupe, aren't u in Chicago?

9:40 am

Jacula

Today's theme (for MrPres) is 'Gorgeous Children (yours, you, someone special to you)'.

9:41 am

Miyavi_fan

*tosses hair* my mum says I'm cool! XD

9:41 am

hurshy

although mine is just some random kid i found on the web, since i have none, don't want 'em, don't like 'em

9:41 am

Atalante

errrr .... I can honestly say I don't know any gorgeous children!!!! I'll stick with my doggy - he was gorgeous. and only a young pup. near enough, hopefully

9:41 am

Jacula

Just found that mo7. It IS a stupid word! (But not as stupid as the sp9.)

9:41 am

Lupe613

By the way - TSM never go to a loud action movie when you are close to your due date..... the sound scared my son to the point that I thought I was going to go into labor. The loud sounds started him - I had to cover my belly with my and my then-husband's coats to muffle the sound. LOL

9:42 am

Lupe613

Yes Bunny....

9:43 am

bunnyvicious

There you go gramma, Lupe can be the Babble welcoming party for your daughter! (Not volunteering you.....)

9:43 am

Lupe613

Sounds like a plan bunny!!

9:43 am

Bugzy

Yes, TY for the mo7. It is silly. But i think the silliest words are the oo6 and oo7.
(no offense to any Eskimos)

9:44 am

Jacula

Lupe - my son used to start head-butting my diaphragm about 20 mins before lunchtime when I was still at work. In fact, with him being breech, it was bruised for about 3 weeks after his birth.

9:44 am

hurshy

ok, in the first trio of re 6's, i have when the waters fall back as well as wedding re****ion, what's the other?

9:44 am

hurshy

the oo's may SOUND silly, but the concept of mo7 is much more silly

9:44 am

gramma

I'm nervous about her moving so far away and living in a city. It's really nice to know you guys are there.

9:44 am

Haz1558

You might need one of these to make a cake/dish

9:44 am

Jacula

re6/24 - what you use to guide you when cooking.

9:45 am

Lupe613

Jac - again OUCH!! The best was when he'd get the hiccups! It's hysterical.

9:45 am

hurshy

wow, i AM dense today

9:45 am

Jacula

Lupe - Yes, that does feel funny!

9:46 am

Miyavi_fan

brrr...you're scaring me off having any of my own when I'm older!

9:46 am

Jacula

Lupe - Quite amusing when the unborn babe kicks your partner in the back, too.:-)

9:47 am

ch1212

Atalante, your dogs count ! I went to that webpage you listed yesterday (or day before) and saw the photo of Holly sleeping -- she is so darling and so is today's icon.

9:47 am

Lupe613

LOL jac!

9:47 am

bunnyvicious

Oh no, being pregnant is the most amazing feeling, especially when they start moving around.

9:47 am

Jacula

Miya - We're remembering these times with affection. It's the best experience ever,

9:47 am

spellit

Finished! - staggers over line, falls flat on face, gasping for breath..

9:47 am

gramma

Okay, Mothers....No more horror stories about pregnancy and/ or birth. I have 5 children, no 2 alike, but all delightful. Let's keep happy thoughts. ^_^

9:47 am

Lupe613

spellit...congrats!

9:47 am

bunnyvicious

Woo Hoo spellit!

9:47 am

Bugzy

Yay Spellit!

9:48 am

Jacula

Well done, Spellit! Here, have a coffee and one of Macadam's shortbreads...

9:48 am

Lupe613

Nothing to fear Miya - it really is the best experience!!

9:48 am

gramma

WTG, spellit!

9:48 am

spellit

All this talk about babies - we have a new granddaughter arriving in less than 14 days now...

9:48 am

Jacula

Gramma - I didn't think they were horror stories??

9:48 am

ch1212

I'm with you, gramma. When I found out I was pregnant (30+years ago) I decided to have a wonderful time, and I did! :)

9:49 am

Lupe613

me either - gramma - I love remembering the entire experience..... truth be told, giving birth was the easy part! Raising him has been the challenge!!

9:49 am

Jacula

I,too, enjoyed both my pregnancies.

9:50 am

Miyavi_fan

lol...all I know is that it's bad enough when I get hiccups, let alone something inside of me! ^^ Congratulations, Spellit!

9:50 am

EvaNadine

my coworkers wife (he is a babbler, though he hasnt been babbling in a while and rarely used the chatlog anyway) is due to have their baby any moment now! her due date was yesterday...hehe

9:50 am

Lupe613

congratulation on the new baby spellit!

9:50 am

bunnyvicious

They are scary if you haven't been through it...
I was terrified when I was pregnant with Eycsis, my first. Of course, my mother in law used to be a delivery nurse...the stories I was told! Sheesh!!!

9:50 am

Bugzy

I rather enjoyed being pregnant too! Everyone's so nice to you :D
Spellit , congrats again in advance for the new grandbaby :)

9:50 am

Jacula

Miya - When your unborn babe gets hiccups it tickles. It's a grinworthy experience.

9:50 am

hurshy

yeah, miya - it seems like something out of star trek to me - this life form is growing inside your body - aaaaahhhhh!

9:50 am

gramma

Jac, you're right. They're not all horror stories.

9:51 am

spellit

Don't worry Hurshy - it's OK as long as it doesn't burst out of your chest!

9:51 am

Jacula

Hmmm, 'grinworthy'.... now what would that score in the grid?

9:52 am

hurshy

i think i'd prefer my chest to where it does burst out

9:52 am

Jacula

Spellit! YUK! She's not expecing an alien. LOL.

9:52 am

Miyavi_fan

scary, Hurshy! like a leeeeech...:/

Jac, it sounds really weird! what if you both had hiccups at the same time?

9:52 am

ch1212

evanadine, gorgeous baby! And bunnyvicious, I really like that name -- Eycsis. What is that? Were you thinking of Isis or does it mean something in a certain language?

9:52 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao Hurshy!!!

9:52 am

Lupe613

It's surreal - I knew I was pregnant, prepared for him, but when the nurse/doctor told me it was time I looked at her and said, "I'm sorry I can't do this...." they looked at me like I was crazy. I think that was the point when I realized I was going to be a mom.

9:53 am

spellit

I must stop watching Outer Limits

9:53 am

EvaNadine

ch1212 -- thanks, its my gorgeous nephew!
none of my own, just yet -- *tap wood*

9:53 am

bunnyvicious

Ch, it's the same as Isis, just spelled funky, all of our kids have mythological or celestail names.

9:54 am

spellit

Off for a coffee - see you later

9:54 am

bunnyvicious

I first heard the name on Married with Children, didn't realize til later that it was the name of Bud's blow up doll, but we conceal that little tid bit of information!

9:55 am

EvaNadine

bunny -- what are the other names?

9:55 am

Jacula

Well, before we start contemplating any gruesome stories of damage to outcoming exits for babies, I need to go and sort some laundry and empty the rubbish etc. BBL.

9:55 am

ch1212

Wow, bunny! I wanted to name my daughter Andromeda Peace and Sunshine, but my family put their foot down, so her name is Autumn. Guess you could figure out the era she was born and what I was doing at the time :D

9:56 am

Miyavi_fan

there! icon is all babied up XD I've kept my little j-rock theme by just putting up a baby picture of one of my favourite rockers! ^^

9:56 am

bunnyvicious

Eycsis Corrine, Dreyvin Asche, Sahera Serene, Twylah Leigh, and Skylah Kaye

9:56 am

hurshy

oh, you brits have been holding out on us - why have i never heard this lovely sp4/8 word before?

9:56 am

Bugzy

Bye Spellit and Jacula !

9:57 am

Haz1558

The word was used extensively during the Second World to describe black marketeers.

9:57 am

Lupe613

my ex-husband and I could not agree on a name - one day we were at a stop light and I looked at a poster promoting a party - the DJ's name was Julian "jumpin" Perez. I suggested the name Julian and that's what we named him. It was a sad day when my son asked me how he got my name and I told him I got it from a poster.....

9:57 am

Haz1558

Second World War, I mean.

9:57 am

bunnyvicious

I like Andromeda, but it reminds me of that book about the deadly virus, lol!

9:57 am

hurshy

i like it

9:58 am

Jacula

Skylah's a nice name! My daughter's middle name (one of them) is Layla.

Really going now. Peeling fingers away from keyboard... leaving room... BLIP!

9:58 am

Lupe613

Bye Jac.

9:58 am

EvaNadine

i dont have any children yet, though i have already chosen a few names...hehe...

My first wil be either Eva or Evan, depending if its a girl or boy.
Eva Marcelle or Evan Wylie

i also really like Genevieve for a girl (and much, MUCH later came to find out it was my mother's mother's name -- she passed when my mom was just 16)
and i like Soren for a boy -- but i know ill get vetoed on that one! hehe

9:59 am

bunnyvicious

My name is Brandy and my husband's is Stephen, we wanted the kiddos to have memorable names. I went to scholl with 18 Brandy's!

9:59 am

ch1212

I'll bet you're still lurking jacula :)

9:59 am

Jacula

No, I'm not!

9:59 am

Jacula

:-)

9:59 am

bunnyvicious

LOL! BYE JAC!

10:00 am

Miyavi_fan

Sadly, I just know my first child (if I have children) will end up called 'Spanky'...there really is just no way around it

10:00 am

bunnyvicious

Soren and Wylie, those are great!

10:00 am

bunnyvicious

that could cause problems in high school!

10:00 am

EvaNadine

Eva Marcelle (Marcel is my dads middle name)
Evan Wylie (Wylie is my moms maiden name)

10:00 am

Jacula

Miya - Just be sure not to marry a bloke whose surname is 'Bottom'!

GONE!

10:01 am

Bugzy

I didn't choose a name for either of my kids until after they were born.... Had to look at them to see what name fit them!

10:01 am

Haz1558

I can imagine, though, Bunny, that the children will get fed up constantly having to spell out their names. The French government have a policy of only allowing people to register a limited number of approved names, thus preserving the 'purity' of names. You are no doubt glad to be in the 'Land of the Free.'!

10:01 am

EvaNadine

i love the name Soren, but the BF has already kindly pointed out that all the boys on the playground will call him Sore-End

10:01 am

bunnyvicious

When the twins were little, we called the "pooh bear", then it got shortened to "pooh", and since there are two, "pooh pooh's". When I need to get their attention in a hurry, it POOPS!, imagine the looks I get.

10:01 am

hurshy

well, soren is the evil villain in star trek: generations, who ends up causing captain kirk's death, so i don't know about that one

10:02 am

EvaNadine

hurshy -- i was thinking more along the lines of Kirkeguard.
;)

10:02 am

Lupe613

LOL eva....

10:02 am

bunnyvicious

Haz, that's an interseting bit of info, seems odd. I'm glad we are then! You're right about the spellings though, half our family doesn't even get them right.

10:02 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao Spanky Bottom!

I won't be able to marry anyone else now XD

...having said that, I know a teacher called Mr Bottoms...he's about 300 stone and constantly covered in grease...he looks like a toad! Except, he lacks the toad's sense of humour/decency/SMELL

10:02 am

hurshy

well sure, but just wanted you to be informed

10:03 am

Bugzy

That's why both my kids have short, easy names Haz. I have a long, complicated German last name (which lends itself to bad nicknames) so I wanted to make it a little easier for them!!

10:03 am

ch1212

yes, hurshy, and I thought you were doing a different spelling of Sauron from Lord of the Rings

10:03 am

Atalante

lol my dear mother - all the way through her pregnancy she thought I was a boy, so she had fixed on Daniel as a name. Then I was a girl, so she chose Rebecca because it was the first girl's name she could think of *facepalm*

10:03 am

Doll414

Lupe I have a niece named after a tug boat - Emma Sophia

10:04 am

hurshy

at least the tugboat wasn't named blinky or something

10:04 am

ch1212

atalante, I've seen Holly's photo and she's gorgeous -- who is this one?

10:04 am

Bugzy

LOL - My aunt had a dog named Cindy who died right before I was born... I always kid my mom that she named me after the dog!!!

10:04 am

hurshy

vi 5/16

10:04 am

bunnyvicious

One of my old school friends named their boy Maximus Renegade John...

10:05 am

Atalante

well, I've just changed my pic back to Holly lol, but the orange creature is Jake, a cocker we had a few years ago. Totally silly and fluffy and cuddly little creature!

10:06 am

Doll414

My grandson who is due to arrive in 24 days will be named Harrison Edward - my son and daughter-in-law wanted him to have an uncommon first name they both went to school with a ton of Jennifers and Michaels

10:06 am

hurshy

yeah, just need vi 5/16 and vi 6/30 and i'll be done

10:06 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Hurshy! XD

If I have a boy I fear I won't be able to stop myself calling him 'Pata'

10:07 am

bunnyvicious

the vi 5/16 rhymes with another word for sound system, ste***

10:07 am

EvaNadine

i had a friend when i was younger who was CONVINCED she was going to name her son Ian Malachai

*wonders if she ever did*

10:08 am

Atalante

and is 1 letter different from the things you record TV / films on

10:08 am

hurshy

why what's "pata"?

when i got my first cat i tried to name her pepper. but i just kept saying "mitten kitten, mitten kitten" because it rhymed. so that became her name. when i got two more kittens, i was afraid they would all end up being called mitten! but they didn't.

10:08 am

Doll414

I'm now in to geneology and would use old family names if I was naming children today

10:08 am

hurshy

thanks bunny, atalante

10:09 am

bunnyvicious

BRB, gotta stick on some laundry and run through a load of dshes real quick

10:09 am

Lupe613

hurshy - "pata" is another word for foot in spanish...not sure of Miya's meaning....

10:09 am

hurshy

btw atalante - i didn't even bother trying to be like you today - got the list after finding just 85

10:09 am

Miyavi_fan

aaah, gotta go...*rolls eyes* sister has to do coursework. See you later, and congrats for Toes once more! (if she's still here...is she?)

10:09 am

Bugzy

LOL Evanadine. I remember my friend in high school who said her kids would be Javi and Jazi (no matter if they were boys/girls)...

10:10 am

Lupe613

Bugzy - we call my brother Javi (short for Javier)....

10:10 am

Atalante

I really don't want children, but if I did, I'd want a son - for one reason - the family name for boys is Lancelot, and has been for centuries. Now, I couldnt break that tradition, could I? *evil grin*

10:10 am

hurshy

one of my college friends wanted to have kids named waukegan and wasabe

10:11 am

Bugzy

Bye Miyavi and Bunny :)
Doll - I do genealogy too. I named my first Joseph bc both my/ my husband's great grandfathers had that name (or variations)

10:11 am

hurshy

ok, who's going to be hurshy's new favorite person and give me that last clue i need - vi 6/30???

10:12 am

hurshy

viri... viro... virm...

10:12 am

ch1212

Atalante, I knew a Lancelot and it was really his middle name. His FIRST name was (true!) Darling. Darling Lancelot. (And his mother wondered why he had so many problems!) He has a cousin named Valiant Christian.

10:12 am

Bugzy

But you pronounce Javi the Spanish way, right Lupe? She was going to pronounce the J as a J !

10:12 am

hurshy

ha, got it without you, you meanies!

10:13 am

Atalante

ow ow ow! poor kids!

10:13 am

hurshy

oh DEAR, ch1212

10:13 am

EvaNadine

i have come across some very "interesting" girls names from teaching my dance classes...so i dont think id ever name my children anything TOO strange...
but i do like older names that arent used very often...

10:13 am

Atalante

now you can give all of us a clue, Hurshy!

10:13 am

Munner

Lupe, my daddy nicknamed my second son "Chapi or Chapito". Any meaning there?

10:13 am

hurshy

i think it is nicer to give your kids names that are not totally boring like sue or whatever, but also that people will recognize and know how to spell, saving constant work.

10:14 am

Doll414

you know we really do have to think before we chose names for our kids

10:14 am

hurshy

ok, the clue is - pllllllt!

jk. vi 6/30 - ends like what data is on star trek.

10:14 am

hurshy

i have class now, so i must away

10:15 am

Munner

I used to teach in a school just south of Atlanta. The names were so crazy that I sometimes copied the absentee list and jokingly sent it to my adult children as suggestions for names for my future grandchildren.

10:15 am

Atalante

I can't see bl***y annoying in there! *ponders*

10:15 am

hurshy

have fun chatting, since nobody seems to be babbling much :)

10:15 am

ch1212

I'm right behind you, hurshy -- gotta run too. Adios all.

10:16 am

Bugzy

bye Hurshy and ch1212 :)

10:16 am

hurshy

or c3po and r2d2 if you prefer star wars

10:16 am

Doll414

Munner that is too funny

10:18 am

Munner

Gratefully, none of them took it seriously. I just returned from a trip out west to meet my newest grandchild, a beautiful little girl named Hannah. The other seven are Bridger, Aiden, Abigail, Isabel, Gabriel, Trey, and Toby.

10:18 am

EvaNadine

this year, i teach a LaRay, Darby, Jikaela, Dainayjah, Z'ane, Demi, Smartha, and a Shae'La...

10:19 am

Munner

evanadine, sounds like some of those North Clayton students moved to your area. :)

10:19 am

Atalante

are they Vulcans?

10:20 am

LEMONed

hi :) Today's my first day of babbling...only just realized that, to use the log, I have to first go down to the bottom of the page!

10:20 am

Doll414

I truly understand wanting your child to be unique but some of the names people make up are a bit much

10:20 am

Doll414

My husband worked with a guy who's daughter's name is Dantasia

10:21 am

Lupe613

We pronounce the J like a H as in the word "have"
Not sure of any meaning behind those names munner...

10:21 am

Bugzy

Hi Lemoned :) Welcome to the Babble neighborhood!

10:21 am

onyx

"a rose is a rose is a rose....."

10:22 am

^^ thank you!

10:22 am

Doll414

I'm thinking I did well with William, Martin, Katharine and Sean

10:23 am

EvaNadine

*thinks back to last year*
i had an Ekan, Isarah, Jaia, Zuri, Dyllan (female)...some of them i just cant remember, but they were creative too...heh

10:23 am

spellit

Mine are Simon, Claire, Jon, and Tim (originally Jonathan and Timothy but shortened by the boys)

10:23 am

Lupe613

any children I have must be given names my parents can pronounce in spanish.

10:24 am

Bugzy

That's what I thought Lupe :)
Doll - I love those names. I would have named a girl Katharine. :)

10:24 am

onyx

i had a student nabed "Coke " what were his parents on?

10:24 am

Doll414

My son says his little one will be called either Harrison or Harris but I think grandma is going to call him Harry

10:24 am

Atalante

coke? lol

10:25 am

Bugzy

LOL Onyx!! At least it wasn't Meth!!

10:25 am

smithchick

Hey gang, how goes it?

10:25 am

LEMONed

My friend knows a man called Holdyn Acok...poor, poor man!

10:26 am

Lupe613

hi smith!! How are you??

10:26 am

nitenurse

I have a niece who named her daughter Pepsi

10:26 am

Doll414

I always liked the name Kate for a girl and she's usually called Kate or Katie but I always felt one must have a proper name

10:26 am

Bugzy

My boys are Joe (Joseph) and Ryan ... just FYI
Hi Smithchick :)

10:26 am

onyx

my grand ma named the poodle pepsi!!!

10:26 am

Doll414

Hi Smithchick

10:27 am

smithchick

I'm good. Kind of wondering about the current topic of conversation! Guess I'm gonna need to read back through the log!

10:28 am

onyx

there's a 9 letter word out there?

10:28 am

Bugzy

I think Coke should get together with Pepsi ...
I would have done Kate or Katie, also, but had the proper name of Katharine. Just love that name... sigh...

10:28 am

Doll414

Names for children is the topic - think it's because of the baby topic from yesterday

10:29 am

nitenurse

Coke and Pepsi would have 7 up starts!

10:30 am

Doll414

Bugzy I chose Katharine when I read an article on Katharine Hepburn while I was pregnant with my daughter - figured she'd be a good role model

10:30 am

onyx

my son was Raphael till the day he was born but when we saw him we changed it... we did not wanrt people anglicizing it and calling him ralph.

10:33 am

Schroeder

Hi all, here is my daughter Monica. Picked the name Monica Lynn because it rolled off the tongue well "Monica Lynn where have you been!" was planning ahead for these teenage years....

10:33 am

Bugzy

Katharine Hepburn, yes, also I was reading Katharine Graham's memoir while I was pregnant. Both good role models .

10:34 am

bunnyvicious

She's a pretty girl Schro

10:34 am

Bugzy

LOL Schroeder - Thats what they say to do, see which names sound good when you're yelling them!

10:34 am

EvaNadine

i have a friend named Rafael but he goes by Raf

10:35 am

Bugzy

BTW she's lovely Schroeder :)

10:35 am

Doll414

yes Schroeder she's beautiful

10:36 am

Schroeder

Thanks, luckily she's a good teenager so far, I haven't had to do much yelling, except when I get brave enough to look under her bed

10:36 am

onyx

it's a good name. i wonder if it would confuse him if i started calling him rafael now.....

10:36 am

smithchick

Bunches of beautiful children! I need technical assistance to get my beautiful children on here. What size does the picture need to be? I'm techno-challenged.

10:37 am

EvaNadine

i had a friend whose moms name was Vicki.
not short for Victoria, since her parents figured "we are always gonna call her Vicki, so why not just name her that?"

yeah, until she had to send back her college diploma because the school assumed her name was really Victoria + put the wrong name on it!

10:37 am

Doll414

well i'm about half done but really should be getting some work done here so I'm off for a bit - see you all later byeee

10:38 am

smithchick

Bye, doll:)

10:38 am

EvaNadine

smithchick -- i open my pics in Paint and keep resizing them until they are about 50 x 50 pixels

10:39 am

gramma

I'm back for a bit. I don't think you should have to explain it or spell it. Just good basic names. We have Greg, John ,Dan, Matt and Margaret.

10:40 am

Atalante

smith, pics automatically resize down to an appropriate level when you upload them. it helps if they are square-ish though

10:40 am

LEMONed

I like names with a meaning. I love the name Sakura for that very reason :)

10:40 am

bunnyvicious

Here are twins!

10:41 am

gramma

lemoned, what does it mean?

10:42 am

Atalante

10:42 am

gramma

10:43 am

Schroeder

10:43 am

Bugzy

10:46 am

Atalante

10:47 am

smithchick

Well, nothing is working. I have to wait for my technical adviser to come home before I can post Timothy, Samantha and Sydney.

10:49 am

EvaNadine

we used to sing a song in elementary school called Sakura...i always used to associate the word with that song...
until a japanese steakhouse/sushi chain opened up in my area under the same name...now thats all i can think of...hehe...

mmmmmmmmmm.... .........sushi............

10:49 am

smithchick

My children are really not just one big, giant, black blob. They're really very colorful children, I promise! I wish I could post Trey (my oldest that died) but he was before the time of digital cameras. I'll have to see if hubby can show me how to scan a picture of him.

10:50 am

LEMONed

mmm, sushi indeed *licks lips* Unfortunately, I know a song with the word 'sakura' in the title...now whenever I think of the name, I get that song in my head!

10:51 am

EvaNadine

*sings to self*
"Sakura, Sakura, Yayo ino sorawa"

10:52 am

smithchick

Lupe are you still there? You need to go pro just so we can see pics of your pair of boys!

10:53 am

LEMONed

lol Evanadine, what song is that? Mine's called 304 goushitsu, hakushi no sakura

10:54 am

LEMONed

O_O it beeped me!

10:55 am

Lupe613

smith - just peeked back in..... I have only one boy --- can you imagine if I had two???

10:56 am

smithchick

Oh, for some reason I thought you had two. Sorry about that. Remind me how old your boy is and what his name is. I'm too lazy to read through all of the old posts!:)

10:56 am

EvaNadine

thats the song we sang in elementary shool...hehe

10:58 am

Lupe613

That's ok!! His name is Julian he just turned 11 on Feb 12.

10:58 am

smithchick

Let's see. I know that bunny has five (hence the viciousness) and it looks like Schroeder has one beautiful daughter. Evana has a beautiful baby (just one?), Bugzy has two cutey patootie boys. What about everyone else?

10:59 am

EvaNadine

heh, actually, i have NONE.
this gorgeous specimen is my lovely nephew.
:D

10:59 am

grniz

My guy is 9 months, Brayden

10:59 am

Atalante

None. Phew. Just a dog and a kitten!

11:00 am

smithchick

I like the name Julian. Timothy is going to be 14 in July. Samantha just turned 11 on Jan. 26 and Sydney just turned 8 on Jan. 8.

11:00 am

Lupe613

speaking of babies - anyone heard from Grey??? I don't get to babble too much in the evenings/weekends - and I know he was starting a new job and would not be on during the day.

11:00 am

LEMONed

lol Evanadine...I doubt they'd sing my version of the song in a school!

11:00 am

smithchick

Brayden is a doll! So is your nephew, evana! That is such a fun age!

11:01 am

Lupe613

smith - a friend of mine just had a little girl about three weeks ago. They let their older (7 yr old) name her - she chose the name Samantha.

11:01 am

smithchick

I'm having a bad eye day and I just see a pooch in the picture, Atalante. What does your kitty look like?

11:01 am

bunnyvicious

grey was on a day or two ago, seemed busy and preoccupied, but said everything was going good.

11:01 am

Lupe613

grniz- HOW ADORABLE!!

11:02 am

Lupe613

thx bunny....

11:02 am

Jera

Thanks caitlyn... you mean the glasses?

11:13 am

bunnyvicious

11:14 am

smithchick

I wish we had room for bigger pictures on here for us blind people! I can't see your well, jacula...

11:14 am

Bugzy

Hi again Jac -
Just realized it' s lunchtime. Must go find food.
BBL

11:15 am

smithchick

We've had a few of those chopper incidents, too. Samantha was my budding hairdresser. Evana, are you a Samantha too! That is one of my absolute favorite names. Hubby didn't get any input at all on that one!

11:16 am

bunnyvicious

I better get for a bit, packages to mail, maybe a bit of shopping...tee hee!

11:16 am

smithchick

Bye, bugzy!

11:16 am

caitlyn

smithchick..What is your baby called???????

11:16 am

Jera

Ahhh... smart as in spiffy, gotcha! That was their semi-annual formal portrait. For my son formal = favorite, so he's wearing a wolf shirt & camo pants (he'd live in them if I let him).

11:16 am

smithchick

Big black blob with an dumb, techno-challenged mother!!!

11:16 am

caitlyn

Later bunny lol

11:17 am

Schroeder

Bye Bugzy and Bunny

11:17 am

smithchick

Catch you later, bunny!

11:17 am

Jera

vi8... when germs kill themselves, ROTFLMAO...

11:17 am

LEMONed

lol Smithchick! You can't be as bad as me...I once managed to turn off a computer when trying to open a window in my ICT classroom!

11:18 am

smithchick

Oops, lemoned. That would be bad for the image. LOL

11:19 am

smithchick

Now you've got me searching, jera. Must be good. I could use a good laugh!

11:19 am

LEMONed

eeeh...trust me, it was :/ my teacher just gave me this look like "poor, sad child"

11:21 am

LEMONed

...I used the excuse that I couldn't speak English at the time! sometimes looking foreign is handy...though English was hard to learn!

11:21 am

smithchick

Well, now I need vitals, LEMONed. I'm very nosy...

11:22 am

caitlyn

And me!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:22 am

LEMONed

lol! ask anything, my life's an open book *cheesy*

...just hopefully, a book in a language I've fully learnt!

11:23 am

Jera

smithchick, you're looking a bit blank today... and dark... or do I need to refresh??

11:24 am

smithchick

Nope, jera. It's me. Waiting for hubby's assistance in posting my pic of my beautiful children!!! Right now, they're rather non...

11:25 am

smithchick

Alright, LEMONed. You asked for it. Where are you at and where are you from? How old, do you have children, etc.....

11:25 am

Jacula

Found the ov7 at last! Sounds like eggs doing themselves in.:-)

11:25 am

cybernan

Good morning, everyone.

11:26 am

Hi cybernan

11:26 am

smithchick

Ohhh, how cute, cybernan!

11:26 am

Jacula

Blimey, Smithchick. No one expects.....

Sorry! Went a bit Monty Python there.

11:27 am

Siamese Lady

11:27 am

Jacula

Hi Cybernan and anyone else I've missed.

11:27 am

LEMONed

I'm from Japan
I'm 15, so...
no kids just yet!

11:28 am

smithchick

Hey, I distinctly recall reading the words "open book"!!

11:29 am

smithchick

Well, I woud hope not LEMONed!!! Now my curiousity is satisfied. Learning new languages always sparks it, as I only know one.

11:29 am

smithchick

Hello, siamese lady!

11:30 am

Jera

Young'un's are quite welcome here... keeps us oldsters on our toes!

11:30 am

Hi all. Took a little longer to return than I thought. Greg surprised me and took me out to lunch. Jac are you still here? I thought of a new song.

11:31 am

caitlyn

Im feeling REALLY old,Welcome LEMON

11:31 am

smaller

welcome, Lemoned!!!

11:32 am

musicmom

Thanks for the ov7 clue. I was driving myself crazy earlier looking for it.

11:32 am

LEMONed

er...sorry to sound ignorant, but I'm really not too good with all your English expressions! what does keeping someone on their toes mean?

11:33 am

Adsman

Watcha!!! : )

11:33 am

LEMONed

warai! thank you! *takes bow*

11:34 am

caitlyn

Hiya Adsman

11:34 am

smithchick

Hello musicmom and smaller. How do I make your pictures bigger so I can see them? All I can see of smaller's is a crib. Can't make out features really well on yours, music...

11:34 am

Jera

Ignorance is okay... stupidity is much harder to deal with...

"On one's toes" means ready for anything, like standing tall for a fight or physical challenge... here we mean it mentally/figuatively...

11:34 am

smithchick

Hey, adsman!

11:34 am

Jacula

MM - Yes, still here. Was just concentrating on the grid as I did plenty of nattering earlier. LOL.

11:34 am

Adsman

hey Caitlyn.. : ) hows is one and all

11:34 am

smaller

hey Adsman!!!

11:34 am

Jera

*is sad she missed Jacula's nattering*

11:34 am

musicmom

I wasn't sure how to do it either smith. I played with the sizing a little but I didn't do very good.

11:35 am

Jera

{{{musicmom}}}

11:35 am

smaller

hey smithchick!!
i have no idea either. i just like this one b/c his feet are dangling out while he's sleeping

11:36 am

musicmom

You know Adam Ant's song "Goody Two Shoes?" I'm working on "Goody Two Clues". I'll let you know when it is posted.

11:36 am

LEMONed

oh! thanks, Jera! I had a few odd mental images there :) Languages aren't my strong point...luckily my friends help teach me!

11:36 am

Schroeder

Back again, darn phone....

I jumped onto Toe sock monkey's web site and couldn't get out. Da** computers! Beautiful girl.

11:37 am

smaller

Hey Tink!
Is that your little girl? She's sooo grown up!! And soo pretty!!

11:37 am

Jacula

Thanks, MM.:-)

Jera - The nattering's still there if you scroll back on the log.

11:38 am

LEMONed

(today's lesson was 'the definition of a "tard"')

11:39 am

musicmom

Lemoned - I bet that was a fun one to learn;)

11:39 am

smaller

Jacula,

is that your little one?

11:39 am

Adsman

And the definition is lemoned?

11:39 am

Schroeder

Thanks Smaller, yes that's my baby all grown up now at 14....

11:40 am

LEMONed

Adsman, stick an -re in front of it...apparently it's school slang

11:41 am

smaller

LEMONed,
how long have you been in England?

11:41 am

LEMONed

Musicmom...it certainly made a lot clearer, anyway!

11:41 am

caitlyn

Schroeder she is very pretty ,You must be very proud!! I think todays theme is great!!!

11:42 am

Adsman

* wishes he could post a picture of his little girl*

11:43 am

Schroeder

Thanks caitlyn, I am. I'm pretty luck she's a good kid overall.
*pictures what Adsman's daughter looks like*

11:43 am

musicmom

I'll be back I'm playing with icons.

11:43 am

Jacula

Smaller - It's my daughter when she was little. She's 19 next month. She's sitting here with me smiling now.:-)

11:44 am

LEMONed

About six months now...almost :) It's so beautiful here...but really cold :)

11:44 am

caitlyn

Hi Jaculas daughter.....

11:45 am

Jera

*smiles & waves @ Jacula's daughter*

11:45 am

musicmom

Very cute Jac. Refresh and tell me if this picture is better. if it is, I'll fix the one of the girls.

11:45 am

Adsman

think 3, with blonde hair and pig tails Shro : )

11:46 am

Jacula

Caitlyn - She's coughed and whimpered in reply. (She's a 'pporly baby' at the moment.)

11:46 am

smaller

Jacula,
wow! 19!! I look at my 2year old, and can't imagine him NOT needing me to wipe his bottom and cut his food into smaller bites. Wow! I bet she can even say a sentence without "Momma" in it.

11:46 am

Schroeder

She's adorable Adsman :)

11:46 am

Jera

Great pic, musicmom!!

11:47 am

musicmom

Yep Smaller. They get there eventually. My oldest is 11 now. Hard to believe. I can't imagine her at 19 either.

11:47 am

Adsman

Thanks Shro : ) lol

11:47 am

smaller

LEMONed-
WOW! You must have learned quite a bit of English in Japan then. You are doing great!!!

11:47 am

musicmom

Thanks that's me on the right and Sarah on the left being silly. I'll go and see if I can resize the one of the two girls.

11:47 am

caitlyn

Poorthing..still its cold outside so she is better off in the warm reading this nonsense get well soon !

11:48 am

Schroeder

Smaller, don't worry no matter how old they are they still need Mom sometimes, just for things funner than bum wiping...

11:48 am

Jacula

Smaller - My daughter says to tell you that she's a bigger baby now she's 19 than she ever was when she was a baby. (She stills says 'Momma', too!) :-)))

11:48 am

lshult

missing just one c, c6/27?

11:49 am

smaller

LOL Jacula,
So if you're gone for a few minutes, we'll know you went to wipe her bottom!

11:49 am

Jacula

Smaller - ROFLOL (both of us).

11:50 am

smaller

Tink,
THANKS!! It's encouragement like that which helps through the tantrums.
although i've heard teenage tantrums become legendary

11:50 am

LEMONed

Thanks Smaller, but I wouldn't say so myself! I made a fool of myself today because the teacher asked me to write something on the board and I had a mental block...started writing in the characters I was used to!

11:50 am

Adsman

wohoo ive just found some West country tipple on the grid. * pours himself a glass*

11:50 am

Jacula

c6/27 - a variant of 'serif' (A fine line finishing off the main strokes of a letter, as at the top and bottom of M.)

11:50 am

musicmom

Here's one more of the girls. They both have red eyes in this shot. BTW, Jera - beautiful children! All of oru kids are the best I've even seen:-))

11:52 am

smaller

Jacula,
Don't laugh too hard or you'll both have to change each other. !!!!

LEMONed-
how did you come up with "LEMONed"?

11:52 am

musicmom

Smithchick. I cropped just the part of the picture I wanted before I loaded it to my desk top. Does that help?

11:52 am

Jera

I still say Momma & I'm 37 with my Momma nearly 8 years dead...

11:53 am

LEMONed

one of my favourite singers has a song called 'LEMONed I scream'! Once I learnt what a lemon was, I found it strange...but it works for me!

11:54 am

caitlyn

musicmom that is a lovely photo...

11:54 am

smaller

LOL LEMON-ed,
every day is fascinating!!! Babble should help. Well, maybe. Some of the words NO ONE uses.

11:55 am

musicmom

Thanks Caitlyn. That's a wonderful little girl you have as well.

11:55 am

LEMONed

(Though my real name is Takumi...not a whole lot to do with lemons ^^)

11:55 am

Jacula

LOL, Smaller. That might be truer than you imagine...

11:56 am

EvaNadine

schro -- 14 isnt all grown up...you just feel like she is, and she just wishes she were!
but in my late 20s, i need my parents more now than i ever thought i did then!

11:57 am

LEMONed

LOL, that's why I joined, to help with my English! I write better than I speak, which I suppose is helpful. Hardly anyone understands my English when I speak it!

11:57 am

smithchick

Well, hubby came home and was no help because he is in a hurry to go plant 500 pine trees. Sheesh, as though pictures of our kids on babble isn't more important!

11:57 am

smaller

Jacula,
There is a .....transition age...isn't there?! Dang it. Oh but we're FAAARRRRR from that age, of course.

11:57 am

EvaNadine

lemoned -- where are you from?

11:58 am

smaller

LEMON-ed,
quite coincidental, that no one understands when we use Babble words. So think of it as yet another language!!!

11:58 am

LEMONed

I'm from Japan - Kyoto :)

11:59 am

musicmom

Heeeheee smitchchick. They just don't understand do they?

11:59 am

Schroeder

It's true evanadine she not all grown up yet and believe me I tell her that all the time. It's just hard to think that in a few years she will be going away.... :(

11:59 am

LEMONed

Smaller, I'm confuse already!

12:00 pm

EvaNadine

oh yay!
we dont get many people from the asian nations here at babble, so it will be interesting to learn some stuff about your part of the world.
:)

lots of us are from the US or England, so we share customs and differences all the time

12:00 pm

smaller

LEMON-ed,
don't worry! so are we most days!!!

12:00 pm

LEMONed

I think it's mainly my bad accent though - that, and I never get tenses and grammar right! Please, if I make mistake, correct me! ^^

12:01 pm

EvaNadine

yknow what though schro?
i was a complete terror to my poor mother until i left home...it wasnt unti college that i realized how integral she is to my life...
im still a terror, but i also tell her a lot more how much i appreciate her.
;)

12:01 pm

LEMONed

Thanks Eva! :) That's such a welcome thing to say, I feel very special now!

Smaller, warai! So do I help you with English, or do you help me? XD

12:02 pm

musicmom

Evan - that sounds like me. Now that I have two daughters of my own - I realize what a horror I was to raise. I'm hoping the same realization hits mine as they grow:-)

12:02 pm

Jacula

Well folks. I've just found my last word, a 'vi' I should have spotted, since it's on my bank card! Sorry to cut and run but my ex has just arrived to visit the kids and I'd like to hear more about his recent holiday in The Maldives, and also Paul will be home shortly hungry for dinner. Must get busy with the pasta etc.

Happy Babbling!

12:02 pm

EvaNadine

lemoned -- so many people who "speak" english dont even use correct grammar, and many dont even know which is correct anyway!
i know im guilty of omitting punctuation + capitalization all the time when i type...hehe

12:02 pm

bye, jacs! hi, everyone!

Bye Jac - Have a wonderful visit.

9 letter word hints? anyone?

12:03 pm

Wow, Congratulate, Jacula!

Evanadine, omit all the punctuation you like when you talk to me...I will not notice the difference!

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Hi Temple

12:04 pm

LEMONed

um...should that be 'congratulate' or 'congratulations'? *blushes* feel free to stamp on me when I becoming too much :)

12:04 pm

hey toes!

12:05 pm

Toe - try more of an eight legged creature.

Bye Jacula, Hi Temple, Congrats TSM!

12:05 pm

smithchick

Hi, Temple and Bye Jacula. Congratulations!!

12:05 pm

EvaNadine

"congratulate" is the verb, "congratulations" is what you say to the person.
:)

12:06 pm

LEMONed

oops! Thank you, Evanadine! I will get these right someday :)

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

did i mention how much i've come to hate the letters r and e ?

12:08 pm

smithchick

Well, here's a little picture of them.

12:08 pm

musicmom

You and me both TO - I have nightmares about them.

12:09 pm

musicmom

Smith - I can see them. Very cute!

12:09 pm

LEMONed

72 Temple Owl...personally, I'm hate the letters T and H...put together I just can't pronounce them, no matter how hard I try :) I think it's a conspiracy

12:09 pm

EvaNadine

lemoned -- youre doing pretty well if youre already working on words like "congratulate"!
i took like 4 years of french, and i wouldnt even call myself at all functional in the language!

12:09 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Temple! ROFL!

12:09 pm

Jera

How sweet, smithchick!

12:10 pm

HI Temple!!!

12:10 pm

ToeSockMonkey

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol. lemoned...

this gird i hate ce even more!!!!

12:11 pm

Atalante

aw cute, Smith!

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

lemoend -- not to mention that really, theres 2 different "th" sounds...
if its at the front of the word, its harder, and if its at the end of the words, its softer...

i think every language has sounds like that -- if youre just not used to making that type of sound, it takes a lot of practice for it to feel natural...

12:11 pm

Jera

I am having trouble concentrating today... they are puting in new water lines & I have a huge backhoe about 5 feet away from me (no front yard for me this week)!

12:11 pm

LEMONed

Evanadine, I'm have a good day today! Also, I have to be practise English all the time, or nobody understands!

12:12 pm

musicmom

Jera - a friend of mine is having the same thing done today. Not fun!

12:12 pm

ToeSockMonkey

LOL Lemon! LOL

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

well, if we get to judge, id say we all think youre doing very well!

12:13 pm

smithchick

Thanks, jera and musicmom. It's a crying shame that this picture is almost two years old and we don't have a decent current one to use.

12:14 pm

caitlyn

LEMONed........I think you are doing REALLY well be proud of yourself.

12:14 pm

musicmom

Any help on the ai words?

12:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

lemoned: what's your native language?

12:14 pm

LEMONed

*brain falls out* there are 2 different sounds?! ooooh dear...so far I keep say 'th' and 's'...I attracted a lot of very strange looks when I told someone I'd forgotten how to say someSing...

12:14 pm

smithchick

Thanks, too atalante. LEMONed, I think you're doing great too.

12:15 pm

Jera

I was in the same boat ubtil very recently... our last family portrait is Gwyd's 2nd Yule. He's 15 months in that one & almost 4 1/2 in this one!

12:15 pm

LEMONed

Thank you so much, Caitlyn! That's great for me to hear, you just don't know how much of a relief that is!

72 Temple Owl, I'm from Japan, so my native language is Japanese. A lot less confuse than English, I think!

12:16 pm

musicmom

hahahaha lemon - not from my perspective

12:16 pm

Jera

2 ai's relate to what we breathe...

12:16 pm

LEMONed

Thank you, Smithchick! I am hope Babble will help to fine-tune my English (is that right?)

12:16 pm

EvaNadine

well, lemoned, dont feel bad -- its actually quite common for asian people just learning english to have trouble with the "th" sound, since its just not a sound you make in your own languages.
we used to have japanese exchange students when i was younger, and my name, samantha, usually became "samansa"
we usually know what you mean.
;)

12:16 pm

hurshy

hey lemoned - nice to meet you - been reading a bit of the log and am entertained by you.

12:17 pm

Jera

Oh, sorry... those are the only 2 ai's... I was about to hint around the other a's, LOL

12:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow lemoned - i'll say !
Has anyone seen miyavi_fan lately?

12:17 pm

smithchick

I'm with you, musicmom. My father speaks some Japanese from when he was in the Air Force, but it is mostly swear words and words a man might need to seduce women.

12:17 pm

hurshy

yes, fine-tune is right

12:17 pm

hurshy

miya was here this morning

12:17 pm

EvaNadine

TO -- she was on earlier, but i think we scared her away with our earlier baby-name talk...hehe

12:18 pm

Jera

Funny how soldiers seem to be well-versed in those types of words... in most all languages, LOL!

12:18 pm

LEMONed

That's good to hear...Samansa :D

Thank you, Hurshy, it's nice to meet you too! I was worry I would not be so welcome here, since everyone else would be so good at English, but you have all made me feel so welcome! Thank you :)

12:18 pm

hurshy

lemoned - the reason we're talking about miyavi_fan is because she loves japanese rock music

12:18 pm

smithchick

Hey, hurshy. Yes, LEMONed. Just leave off the am.

12:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was thinking it might be nice to introduce lemoned and miyavi to one another....

12:19 pm

smithchick

Where is miyavi located?

12:19 pm

EvaNadine

TO -- i was thinking the same thing myself.
:)

12:19 pm

hurshy

miya is in england

12:19 pm

LEMONed

Wow, there's another person who likes j-rock around?! I am lucky! Is Miyavi_fan Japanese too?

12:19 pm

musicmom

Thanks for the help on the ai --- that was tough for me to find for some reason.

12:20 pm

caitlyn

Temple i was just thinking the same thing..great minds!!!!

12:20 pm

LEMONed

ah, my question was answer before I ask it!

12:20 pm

hurshy

no, miyavi_fan is english, but she speaks some japanese (i think just from listening to the music)

12:20 pm

faeriekae

Hello everyone - I'm back and ready to tackle this grid. I started earlier but had to get showered and run to the mall but I'm ready to pounce on it now.

12:20 pm

Atalante

I wish I could remember more Japanese! I worked there for a few months in Tokyo several years ago. All I can remember is "sakana no kasaki (kaseki?)" see - I can't even remember how to spell things!

12:20 pm

Jera

That 3 letter ending for the ai6 comes in quite handy for the longer words in this grid, musicmom!

12:20 pm

smithchick

We're all on the same track. Didn't miyavi just have a birthday and turn 14?

12:21 pm

hurshy

yes, and now that miya is a grand 14 she doesn't have as much time for us :)

12:21 pm

musicmom

Thanks Jera - I'll keep that in mind. This is a pain today.

12:21 pm

smithchick

Hey, faerie! How are you?

12:21 pm

LEMONed

I find it interest that one of the first English words I hear were 'beer'!

12:21 pm

hurshy

there are also a couple of ic's and oid's, musicmom

12:21 pm

Jera

All the Japanese I know is hello, good-bye, Sakura, & counting to 5. I may actually know more, but I don't put much faith in the accuracy of Pokemon & other anime cartoons!

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

which reminds me...i just heard my first Dir en Gray song the other day...
i quite liked the melody...just wish i understood the words!

12:22 pm

caitlyn

hurshy she has a boyfriend now doesnt she?

12:22 pm

musicmom

Thanks Hurshy. That helps too.

12:22 pm

faeriekae

Smith - Hi! I'm great. How are you dear?

12:22 pm

hurshy

yes, and i believe he gave her a necklace or something for the birthday

12:22 pm

LEMONed

Evanadine, I am a massive Dir en Grey fan! Which song did you hear? Maybe I can help translate :)

12:23 pm

musicmom

Hi Faerie - I missed you coming in. Brb.

12:23 pm

smithchick

I'm excellent right now! My mom finally finished her house and hubby is home for two weeks.:) Hursy, who is that beautiful little girl?

12:23 pm

EvaNadine

not sure...i think it may have been called "Final"

12:23 pm

smaller

WOW!
LEMONed, you and Miyavi_Fan are like twins!!

12:24 pm

smithchick

You need to put in a picture of your pseudo-son!

12:24 pm

faeriekae

Are we talking about Miyavi? I love talking about people when they aren't around to dispute what you say lol. So she got a necklace for her b-day huh....She's a smart gal she'll be ok - I hope.

12:24 pm

hurshy

dunno, smithchick - found her on the web. i don't have kids and am not really close to any - i have a couple of nieces and a nephew (by marriage) but didn't have any pics of them on the computer

12:25 pm

LEMONed

Aa...The Final? I'm not quite sure how many of the words translate, but it is a very sad song :(

12:25 pm

faeriekae

MM- (((((((x))))))) Hi! How goes it?

12:25 pm

hurshy

oh, smith, that's a good thought, but i also don't have any pics of him on the computer - and i guess he doesn't count as a child anymore since he turned 18 last month

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

lemoned -- may we ask how old you are?
and are you a male or female?

12:25 pm

smithchick

Hurshy, you may not have given birth to any kids, but you are mothering one!

12:25 pm

musicmom

I'm back. Smith it's great to hear that your mom finished her house.

12:25 pm

LEMONed

warai, Smaller! I'll be interest to meet her! She seems to have left an impression on you all!

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

really?
the melody sounded fairly upbeat...
but then, i guess with sad lyrics, it could have just been very powerful...

12:26 pm

hurshy

:) thanks smith, i appreciate the support. anyway, he'd be really embarrassed if i put up a pic of him.

12:26 pm

LEMONed

Of course, Evanadine! I am 15 year old, and a boy :)

With a name like Takumi, I would have to be!

12:26 pm

faeriekae

Smith - I'm sure your happy to have your hubby home (for a while anyhow) *_*

12:27 pm

caitlyn

LEMONed without telling us to much what part of England are you living in?

12:27 pm

hurshy

so, lemoned, what can we call you for short? do you prefer lemon, or ed, or tak?

12:27 pm

hurshy

lol caitlyn - he's in japan

12:27 pm

faeriekae

any clues for the ai 5/10 I got the 6/18. Please and Thank You:)

12:27 pm

musicmom

Things are good Faerie - I feel much much better today. And Greg took me to the Chinese buffet for lunch YUM!

12:27 pm

smithchick

Yes, musicmom. It's a relief. The appraiser came yesterday. Her house looks better than it has looked in years. My 24 yr. old bro. left for a couple of months for a job in Florida. It's just her and my dad so she should be able to keep it nice for a change. :)

12:28 pm

smithchick

Fairie, just drop your second -to-last vowel.

12:28 pm

LEMONed

Aa, now here is where my bad geography make an entrance...I know I am fairly near London, just a little North

12:28 pm

hurshy

faerie - drop the second i

12:28 pm

LEMONed

warai Hurshy, call me whatever you want!

12:28 pm

faeriekae

Ty :)

12:28 pm

hurshy

oh, wait, did i get confused? lemoned, you are from japan but living in england now?

12:29 pm

caitlyn

LEMONed Miyavi also lives just north of London !!!

12:29 pm

faeriekae

MM-chinese yummmmmm-you must be feeling a bit better then. So glad to hear it.

12:29 pm

LEMONed

yes :) I move here nearly six month ago...the worst thing was the time difference!

12:29 pm

hurshy

we had a japanese american student here at our school who graduated last year. his name was takuro and we called him tak.

12:30 pm

hurshy

should miya's boyfriend be worried?

12:30 pm

EvaNadine

oh my, we might have to do some babble-match-making!!
;D

12:31 pm

musicmom

yes I am better. Now if I can just stay that way.

12:31 pm

caitlyn

Maybe hurshy Maybe !!!!!!!!

12:31 pm

smithchick

Matchmaking is always fun!!

12:31 pm

hurshy

but one hates to break up an existing couple

12:31 pm

LEMONed

wow! If I can look up a word, then I'll be able to say...

it's an amaze coincidence! (is that right?)

12:32 pm

hurshy

amazing

12:32 pm

caitlyn

I dont think we would do that !!

12:32 pm

Tigereye

an amazing coincidence Lemoned

12:32 pm

LEMONed

Aa, almost there! Thank you, Hurshy! :)

12:33 pm

hurshy

how much do you want us to correct your english, lemon? every time you make a mistake, or only when you ask?

12:33 pm

musicmom

Okay. I'm lurking for the next half hour. Want to get as many words as I can before I have to go teach.

12:33 pm

faeriekae

MM-are those your girls? Who ever they are they are adorable. As a matter of fact, all the children are beautiful. Children, grandchildren, sisters, nieces and nephews.....

12:33 pm

smithchick

No, break-ups. But we could help create a beautiful friendship! Besides, they are young yet. Who knows what will happen in a week or a month.

12:33 pm

LEMONed

And thank you, Tigereye! You are all so helping! (helpful?)

12:34 pm

musicmom

Yep Faerie - Sarah is 11 and Hannah is 5.

12:34 pm

hurshy

true, smithchick - but... do you remember a cosby show episode where denise tried to help in vanessa's love life...?

12:34 pm

hurshy

helpful

12:34 pm

LEMONed

Hurshy, feel free to correct whenever it starts to annoy you! Since it help my English along, it is handy!

12:35 pm

Jera

Almost the same spread as mine, musicmom... Sprite is nearly 10 & Gwyd is 4 1/2.

12:35 pm

LEMONed

wow...it look like, without even meet a person, I have made a friend!

12:35 pm

hurshy

it doesn't annoy me, i just wondered how much correcting you want, and how much would get annoying for YOU ;)

12:35 pm

hurshy

mostly it's your verb endings that seem to be giving you trouble, lemon

12:36 pm

hurshy

so funny, musicmom, i know a pair of sisters who are named sarah and hannah, and about that far apart in age, but they are just 7 years ahead of your girls

12:36 pm

smaller

LEMONed,
You've made tons of friends!!!!

12:36 pm

caitlyn

LEMONed tonight you have made a lot of friends!!

12:37 pm

smithchick

I don't remember that one, hurshy. Of course, it's been years since I watched Cosby. My kids and hubby hog the TV. I get to watch Desperate Housewives (of which I am one) and Grey's Anatomy on Sunday. That is about it.

12:37 pm

LEMONed

yes...verb ending and tenses :/ I'm use to there being hardly any variate on verbs...English has so many!

12:37 pm

hurshy

yes, and i think we should tell babbler to set up a lemon-themed icon day ASAP in honor of our new friend.

12:37 pm

LEMONed

thank you all so much! You have made me feel so welcome! :)

12:37 pm

musicmom

That is funny Hurshy. We thought we were avoiding popular names when we named both of them. But, in the years they were born they were the most popular names. We didn't know anyone naming their children that.

12:37 pm

faeriekae

I second that motion.

12:38 pm

hurshy

(variation)

12:38 pm

hurshy

and (used to)

12:39 pm

Tigereye

Hannah's a very popular name here(England) I think there were six of us in my year at secondary school

12:39 pm

hurshy

babbler usually reads the log, i think, but if someone sees her, maybe mention it.

12:39 pm

LEMONed

*slaps head* variation...er, er, I knew that really. I was just testing you ;)

...or that is my excuse!

12:39 pm

faeriekae

Hurshy-I second the motion on lemon day....

12:39 pm

hurshy

yes, i saw that you did faerie, thank you :)

12:39 pm

caitlyn

My internet connection is really playing up so im going now happy babbling all catch you tomorrow lolx

12:39 pm

LEMONed

Is Babbler some kind of leader?

12:40 pm

smithchick

Bye, caitlyn!

12:40 pm

musicmom

I wanted Hannah for Sarah but Greg didn't like it. Then when we had her 6 years later - he picked it. I really wanted one of them to be Lydia but he absolutely hated that name. Don't know why.

12:40 pm

faeriekae

Oh ok---just checking to see if you were paying attention...:)

12:40 pm

LEMONed

warai! thank you!

babbler is the president of our social club, and she keeps track of our icon themes. (the pictures we have under our names). today's theme is children.

12:40 pm

LEMONed

See you late, Caitlyn! Thanks for making me feel so welcome :)

12:41 pm

hurshy

(later)

12:41 pm

smithchick

I told my husband as soon as he went through 12-30 hours of labor, he could name the child whatever he wanted.:)

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

Babbler (the screen name) is just another player...she just sort of heads-up the unofficial themes for the icons we display.

we also use the word "babbler" to refer to anyone who plays the game.
:)

12:41 pm

LEMONed

oh...it looks like I have to go, as well! Well, I will definitely be back now! Thank you all so much :)

12:41 pm

hurshy

pi5 - friends fan? picture ross, rachel, and chandler trying to get ross's new couch up the stairs, and ross yelling...

12:41 pm

musicmom

Pi5 what you do on one foot in basketball. the 7 is past tense.

12:42 pm

musicmom

Any help on the oo words?

12:42 pm

smithchick

Bye, LEMONed. It was nice meeting you! Come back soon!

12:42 pm

hurshy

goodbye, lemon! look forward to seeing you again!

12:42 pm

faeriekae

Lem-Hi, I'm faerie and I sprinkle faerie dust on the grid to bring the words out so we can all see them.
*sprinkle*sprinkle*spri nkle
now maybe I will find the stupid "ci" words....

12:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:42 pm

faeriekae

Lem-See Ya.

12:50 pm

hurshy

yeah, lemon is long gone now i think, but i was wondering about warai too - anybody left know what it is?

12:50 pm

smithchick

I think he did, jera. I was wondering the same thing.

12:50 pm

sassyfrau

anybody ever have a word accepted that doesn't give you any points?

ce****** 8 letters but no points?

12:51 pm

hurshy

online dictionary report: warai: laugh, laughter, smile

12:51 pm

hurshy

yes, sassy, that means your computer had a glitch, it isn't really a word, and you need to refresh to get rid of it.

12:51 pm

pinecone05

you have to refresh sf : it is usually an error

12:51 pm

smithchick

Hey, sassyfrau. Hasn't happened to me that I know of. Thanks, hurshy!

12:52 pm

sassyfrau

thanks!

1:13 pm

smithchick

Could I get a clue for the last sp7? sp7/36...

1:14 pm

faeriekae

1:14 pm

Anj

Hey Lemon : ) Run away while you can lol

1:14 pm

smithchick

Never mind, just got it.

1:14 pm

LEMONed

1:15 pm

LEMONed

Anj, it's already too late!

1:15 pm

Tigereye

Abbreviation of through

1:15 pm

LEMONed

Aa...thanks! I didn't think I recognize it...

1:15 pm

lola100

I'm having a complete mental block over the V's! : /

1:15 pm

speedfreak

Lemon should have spelled it correctly for you through meaning read back over the log

1:16 pm

Anj

OK, welcome to the Babbleverse then Lemon : )

1:18 pm

LEMONed

Don't worry about it! it's probably better I get the hang of abbreviate first!

Thanks, Anj! Everyone here is so welcoming :)

1:21 pm

hurshy

(abbreviations)

1:21 pm

hurshy

the v's do rather stink.

1:22 pm

LEMONed

oops...I will get the hang of this one day! Thank you!

1:22 pm

hurshy

(recognized) from before

1:22 pm

hurshy

i've appointed myself lemon's english tutor, so anything in parentheses is a correction for him :)

1:22 pm

Tigereye

Or even recognised as she's in England :p

1:23 pm

hurshy

seriously, lemon, you're very good already. just helping you polish it up a bit. but if you get sick of it, feel free to tell me to knock it off.

1:23 pm

Tigereye

He even

1:23 pm

LEMONed

again, thank you! I emailed a friend tonight with some of the help you gave...hopefully this time they will be able to understand me!

1:23 pm

hurshy

true tiger but he used a z so i stuck with that

1:23 pm

LEMONed

I would not get sick of it, it helps a lot!

1:24 pm

LEMONed

I'm very grateful :) (and I think that's right)

1:24 pm

hurshy

it is :)

1:24 pm

LEMONed

warai, at last! ^^

1:24 pm

Tigereye

It is indeed :) and we dont' mind at all. I'm sure your English is far far better than my Japanese will ever be

1:25 pm

lola100

Ooh, my turn to ask a question...what does 'warai' mean lemon? : )

1:26 pm

hurshy

the thing is (just to explain my behavior) i've noticed with some of the foreign students here that our attitude tends to be, as long as we know what they mean, it's good enough. and for those who really want to improve, if we don't correct their errors, they get really frustrated.

1:26 pm

EvaNadine

hola lola!

1:27 pm

lola100

Hey evaN! How you doing? : )

1:28 pm

LEMONed

Thanks Tigereye! :) It's only because it's the only language I can be understood with now!

Lola, I keep meaned to not type that! Warai is like...slang for smile, a bit like lol, I think.

1:28 pm

speedfreak

can someone help with the second sp7/36 not the one to make food hotter

1:28 pm

hurshy

(meaning)
and we like the warai, don't stop.

1:29 pm

hurshy

speedfreak, ends like what C3PO and R2D2 are

1:29 pm

smithchick

speedfreak... It has the same four letters as the word before it and the last three are the same last letters of a breath mint in a little tin box.

1:30 pm

lola100

Oh, I like it lemon, don't stop! : )

1:31 pm

LEMONed

Thank you, I will carry on then! Oh, and...it is a strange thing to ask, but what do you call this day? I embarrass myself today by writing the characters kayobi in the date (in my English book, no less...)

1:31 pm

hurshy

soon we'll all be saying warai

1:32 pm

hurshy

1:32 pm

1:43 pm

1:44 pm

hurshy

(goes)
(bye)?

1:45 pm

LEMONed

*blushes* sorry...I wasn't sure how to spell it, and 'bai' just made sense to me! ^^;

1:45 pm

hurshy

or did you mean bai, is it a japanese word?

1:45 pm

hurshy

the goes is from before - as the song goes

1:46 pm

hurshy

i don't really understand the song though :)

1:47 pm

LEMONed

we sometimes use bai, but I thought since it was almost~ english, it would be spelt the same way...warai, I should stick to sayonara, perhaps!

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay tigereye, speed!

1:48 pm

hurshy

we do know sayonara :)

1:49 pm

LEMONed

Hurshy, I do not think anybody understands the song...before I came here, the lyrics made no sense to me! :)

1:49 pm

hurshy

by the way, lemon, you can say "spelt" but it's a little old-fashioned (or perhaps i should say sophisticated). the ordinary way to say that would be spelled.

1:50 pm

cybernan

Back again -- been through the log and Brandyjack's list and down to 9 words with which I am struggling...

ce 6/27?

1:50 pm

hurshy

personally, i like spelt. but not that many people use it.

1:50 pm

smithchick

Down to one- ce6/27. Any help would be much appreciated! I have to get off of here and act busy in the house or hubby will make me plant trees! The horror!!!

1:51 pm

hurshy

ce 6/27 a funny way to spell either a kind of angel or the little feet that may or may not appear on letters, depending on the font

1:51 pm

LEMONed

oops...when people say it, they make it sound like spelt! thank you!

1:51 pm

hurshy

wow, smith and cyber are really in sync

1:51 pm

Anj

...the siren song of Arsenal vs. Real Madrid is a-callin' me folks...

BBL : )

1:52 pm

hurshy

british people probably do make it sound like spelt. they're sophisticated. in america it sounds like spelled.

1:52 pm

LEMONed

warai...have fun, Anj!

1:52 pm

lola100

Later babe : )

1:52 pm

smithchick

Bye, anj!

1:53 pm

LEMONed

Oh well...I was halfway there! arigato, Hurshy-sensei! ^^

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, anj!

1:53 pm

hurshy

what's arigato?

1:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

got to go - happy babbling to all! see you tomorrow!

1:54 pm

hurshy

you understand, lemon, that spelt is not wrong. right?

1:54 pm

lola100

'bye temple : )

1:54 pm

smithchick

Thank you, hurshy!!! Done! Off to do housework. Beats planting trees in 30-something degree weather, anyway!

1:54 pm

hurshy

bye temple!

1:55 pm

hurshy

CAN you plant trees in 30 degree weather? isn't the ground frozen?

1:55 pm

Atalante

arigato - thank you. I think. LOL. domo arigato = thanks a lot.

1:55 pm

LEMONed

arigato is thank you...though I should have remember my manners and said arigato-gozaimasu :/

1:55 pm

hurshy

(remembered)

1:56 pm

hurshy

go atalante!

and, you're welcome, lemon :)

1:56 pm

LEMONed

aa, that's it...thank you!

Atalante, I'm impressed...do you speak some Japanese?

1:56 pm

smithchick

So it's actually 41 degrees. So I exaggerated a little, so what!!!

1:57 pm

cybernan

Thank you Hurshy.

oo 6 & 7?

1:57 pm

smithchick

Bye Temple!

1:57 pm

Atalante

a bit ... I worked in Tokyo for a few months and learnt a bit during that time!

1:58 pm

hurshy

lol smith

oo6 - eskimo word - some kind of kayak

2:00 pm

hurshy

hmm, so maybe this is just british - atalante, do you guys tend to use a lot of those - "learnt" "spelt" "spilt" "spoilt" still? i thought they were more dickens-era spellings.

2:00 pm

LEMONed

Tokyo! wow, that must have been difficult...the few times I ventur from Kyoto to Tokyo, it was quite intimidating!

2:01 pm

hurshy

(ventured) (and ventur doesn't exist at all, it would be venture)

2:01 pm

hurshy

but hey, lemon, if you can use "must have been" correctly like that, you're really not so bad at verb tenses.

2:02 pm

Atalante

hurshy - I'll confuse you. We use both. Learnt and learned are equally ok. Though I would say that language is going towards the -ed rather than the -t - which is more old-fashioned

2:03 pm

sherb

evening all :D

2:03 pm

lodestar

I'm new. How long did it take any of you to get the hang of playing this properly? I don't quite know what is expected of me. I know the letters must abut one another...

2:03 pm

cybernan

Thanks again, Hurshy

ov 7? (didn't get any help from previous clues)

2:03 pm

Atalante

I really wanted to get to Kyoto - but we only went to Tokyo and Niigata. I was working at the National Museum of Science - a wonderful place!

2:03 pm

smithchick

Well, does anybody need any clues before I go?

2:04 pm

smithchick

Sherb, what a beauty!! ov7. If you had this, you wouldn't need spermi****

2:05 pm

hurshy

atalante - basically what i had told lemon, then. ok.

2:06 pm

sherb

thanks smithchick :D ...my goddaughter, Marina...

2:06 pm

hurshy

lodestar - you could start with the babble rules at the top right of the webpage :)

2:06 pm

cybernan

thank you, smithchick...

vi 5/16?

2:06 pm

hurshy

it takes some people longer than others to "get the hang of it", i suppose. if you're used to playing boggle, it's not as bad. but you do have to start learning a lot of weird little words.

2:07 pm

hurshy

vi 5/16 you might rent a movie on vi***, change middle letter

2:08 pm

smithchick

vi 5/16- the thing you view with a different middle consonant.

2:10 pm

cybernan

If you mean to change the second to last vowel -- I tried that -- "not valid"
Also tried changing the second consonant -- also "not valid"

2:10 pm

lodestar

Did that Hurshy. I understand the basic basics. I was looking for guidance from a human who knows some inside tips.

2:10 pm

smithchick

Well, gotta go. Hubby just called and needs a beverage brought to him because he is thirsty from planting 500 pine trees in 41 degree weather! Be back tomorrow.
Keep up the good work, LEMONed!

2:10 pm

cybernan

got it!

2:11 pm

lola100

'bye smithchick : )

2:11 pm

Just here for a second - Sherb, your goddaughter is beautiful.

Smithchick seems to be in a dark place today. Hi hurshsy! Haven't seen you in awhile.

2:12 pm

hurshy

oh, well, lodestar, you should also check out babblers anonymous. the first post under general gives us statistics for each day. but also, today, angelsong posted a new website with all the babble resources grouped on it - it's the post with a smiley next to it, so you could check that out.

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

lode - click on "babblers anonymous" at the right.
from there, click on "general" then "Announcing a new Babble resource... "

theres a link in there that will be VERY helpful!

2:12 pm

hi mab, nice to see you. :) cats all fine?

2:13 pm

Oh, evana, that picture has to be of you - it looks just like you. Is it?

Hi mab! Need a hug? : )

Cats are well, thank you. My car won't start, but the cats are fine.

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

mab

((((lola)))))

2:14 pm

EvaNadine

mab -- actually, its my nephew...hehe

2:15 pm

sherb

hi lodestar :D ...in terms of tips, it depends what you want to get out of the game... you can just play for fun and the chat, or play to improve your ranking, or both... practice helps, because there are some words we don't use in everyday language that come up quite often in Babble... and there are aids such as a2zwordfinder.com, and morewords.com when you get stuck... and of course the clues in the log... but avive all, have fun :D

2:15 pm

cybernan

Never mind -- was taking the wrong path.

2:15 pm

lola100

mab, at least you have a car.... mine was stolen last week. The cops found it but it was so badly damaged that I had to scrap it. Back to walking for a while : /

2:15 pm

mab

Really! I see a resemblance. Anyway, he's adorable.

2:16 pm

EvaNadine

i agree.
;)

ive actually had several people ask him if hes mine -- i have a photo of him on my desk, and one of my coworkers was like "wait, when were you pregnant?!"

2:16 pm

lola100

(((((mab))))) : )

2:16 pm

sherb

hi mab :D

2:17 pm

EvaNadine

the funny thing is that he looks more like his mother than his father -- and his father is my brother!
but i resemble my sis-in-law more than my own brother...hehe...people ask if we are sisters...

Hey Lola ... that's awful about your car :/
Hi Sherb... adorable baby :)

2:21 pm

hurshy

hi sherb. have you met lemon?

2:21 pm

LEMONed

Hurshy-sensei, it seems to be essential in my school!

2:21 pm

lola100

mab, fortunately the public transport is good in the UK so I can still get around. In fact, the toddler and I caught the bus to nursery instead of walking this morning because it was raining. I do miss my little red banger though : /

2:22 pm

sherb

Jullie Andrew's CHAR? ...now that's an obscure fact... ;)

2:22 pm

bunnyvicious

Cyber - sp + more frozen (think Mexican food)

2:22 pm

hurshy

everyone who hasn't met lemon should know that he is a 15-year old boy recently transplanted from japan to england, and he's very nice. and warai is like lol.

2:22 pm

Bugzy

hurshy -- I'm not getting the ce5/12 clue... Julie Andrews' char??

2:23 pm

lola100

Hey sherb! : )

2:23 pm

bunnyvicious

Hello again!
Welcom and howdy Lemon, glad to have ya!!

2:24 pm

Bugzy

Aha... that makes more sense. I was thinking maybe you meant "chart", like scale, so I was trying things ending in DO, RE, MI, etc. LOL

2:24 pm

hurshy

well, if you're not nice, then we definitely won't set you up with miyavi_fan, even if she does break up with her boyfriend.

2:24 pm

sherb

don't worry lemon, we look forward to being insulted just as soon as you learn the right words ;)

2:24 pm

Dr_God

There might be a little pause for a minute here, so you may not be able to enter words. We'll be back to normal soon.

2:24 pm

Mary

hurshy, that was an obscure clue, but I got it. thanx.

2:24 pm

Bugzy

yay for cybernan!

2:24 pm

hurshy

i only learned "brain fart" the other day myself, lemon.

2:24 pm

Dr_God

Never mind. Already done. :)

2:24 pm

LEMONed

Thanks Sherb, Bunnyvicious! :)

Hurshy-sensei, I don't think her boyfriend would appreciation that!

That was painless. Thank you good doctor.

the only trouble, lemon, is that usually food is "yummy". if you call a person "yummy", it can often have sexual connotations.

4:43 pm

hurshy

lemon - in english, the letters s-h-i-t spell out a swear word, so the chat log substitutes a <beep>, even when it is part of a longer word - in case you want to know what just happened in your post.

4:44 pm

hurshy

however, when you capitalize the S, it doesn't happen, as you may have just observed

does anyone know the official term for those hair clips that operate on a spring, you pinch them open and then all their teeth grab your hair and hold it? my friend in high school used to call them "instant prom hair clips", but there must be an actual name.

Butterfly clips.

hair claws, hurshy? dunno..... :/

4:49 pm

overnight is all one word. also, on the internet we don't all capitalize as we would in real writing, but you should know that you should capitalize names of languages.

4:49 pm

4:51 pm

hurshy

my friend used to do our hair for us (turned out he was gay, big shocker there), while singing "instant prom hair, instant prom hair!"

4:51 pm

boreetos

:) I've heard that before. Heck, I've SAID that before.

4:51 pm

Norma

Has anyone got any clues the last RE6/24 RE7/36 and KS5/20 Please Help

4:51 pm

mab

Grippies is cute. I love how Britons put y's and ies's onto the end of many words. It was prevalent in my home, this habit.

4:52 pm

hurshy

a doozy describes something that is kind of big, scary, intimidating. a storm might be described as a doozy, or a difficult test in school.

4:52 pm

evanonut

doozy - what i told my mother growing up when i came home past curfew

4:52 pm

Babbler

Mab, you'll love "snackies" then! (one of my own..) ;)

4:52 pm

evanonut

aka: whopper

4:52 pm

hurshy, well said. I was staring at a blank box trying to explain it. :)

4:52 pm

Jera

Ye gods, I just found the sp9... heebie-jeebie city.

4:52 pm

smaller

boreetos,
one normally learns the words NOT to say first anyway! right?!!! right?!!!

4:53 pm

hurshy

see, i thought banana clips were the ones that were two pieces joined at one end and then you clipped the other ends together.

4:53 pm

Babbler

Norma - colour + opp of bottom (then plural for the 7)

4:53 pm

boreetos

of course, in fact there are several languages in which all I know are bad words. :)

4:53 pm

smaller

hurshy,
i agree on the banana clips,
the springy thing i've heard as just "hair clip"

4:53 pm

mab

Snackies, mmmmm.

I use smokies. In the hospital where I worked, I called patient smoking times, which required going outside, smokies.

4:54 pm

LEMONed

warai, thank you! oh, demo I had a question...I thought the word gay meant happy, butI was told it meant something else also. What does it mean other than happy? And which was Hurshy referring to?

4:54 pm

Jera

butterfly clips are smaller, I believe...

4:54 pm

LEMONed

...your language is full of double meanings! ^^;

4:54 pm

Babbler

Norma - sk5/20 - add a vowel on the end of the one above

4:54 pm

hurshy

well hair clip is not descriptive enough - that could be any number of types of clips.

4:54 pm

evanonut

gay: 1) happy 2) playing for the other team

4:55 pm

Babbler

Lemon, they are called 'double entendres'..... which is french!! warai!! : D

4:55 pm

smaller

Jera,
they are the mini ones right?

4:55 pm

Jera

Lemon, it gets worse... we frequently make up our very own word-plays here!

4:55 pm

hurshy

gay does mean happy, but people don't tend to use it anymore because of the other (newer) meaning, which is homosexual.

4:55 pm

hurshy

evanonut - that is so not helpful! warai!

4:56 pm

boreetos

how bout "scary big-teeth havin'- hair scrunchin' clip of Doom!" ?

4:56 pm

mab

Lemon: 'gay' is a very acceptable term for homosexual. It can refer to lesbians as well, but most often means men.

4:56 pm

hurshy

nice, boreetos, but rather a mouthful

4:56 pm

EasternBlue

wow....I said hello, got pulled into a meeting (so sorry for my delayed responses....) and saw pages of chat going fast & furious!!

Hello LEMONed - welcome to Babble!!!

4:56 pm

LEMONed

Jera, should I be afraid?

Hurshy, Evanonut, thank you...that makes a little more sense now! ^^ I will try and remember that 'playing for the other team' means that too :)

4:56 pm

hurshy

and, as you have probably guessed by now, lemon, it was not "happy" that i meant.

4:56 pm

evanonut

sorry - let me try again

gay 1) happy; joyful 2) boys who like boys

4:57 pm

LEMONed

Thank you Mab, as well! This is wonderful, everyone is so willful to help! Thank you :)

sp7 -if you add more chilli to you curry it gets sp7!

vi6/30 - An infectious particle, similar to but smaller than a virus, that consists solely of a strand of RNA and is capable of causing disease in plants.

sp7/36 is more of an sp5... think, taste!

snowyowl

You ae right Jac - we used to have just those type of false eyelashes in the 60s & 70s!

6:57 pm

8:54 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, MB! Using a cane to get around, but I should get off it this week.
Been Babble deprived, so I thought I'd give it a try tonight.

8:55 pm

mamabear

I have had back pain for 18 years... you have my sympathy........

8:56 pm

mamabear

What did you do to your back, JB?

8:56 pm

JBsAnno

I also have seen une, musicmom, aknitter, and a newbie so far. Feel like I'm on Romper Room - I see MamaBear, and Une, and...

8:57 pm

aknitter

are all your friends having fun at play miss jean??

8:57 pm

musicmom

I'm here - watching ladies' short program on the Olympics. I'm done - can give clues if needed.

8:57 pm

mamabear

Sounds like the painkillers are kickin in, JB!!! LOL

8:57 pm

JBsAnno

I could sneeze, bend over to tie my shoe, take out the trash, all very normal activities, and every now and then, all the muscles in my lower back just freeze up, and I hit the prescription meds...for about 2 weeks.

8:58 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, aknitter! I knew I'd find a kindred spirit here with that reference.

8:59 pm

mamabear

All done....... this one was goofy

8:59 pm

aknitter

i remember watching that when i was a kid. she never wished me a happy birthday though. i was very disappointed LOL

9:01 pm

aknitter

Tenacious! That's the word for us tonight (thanks Traci the skating commentator)

9:02 pm

Angelsong

Mamma, have you seen the newest Babble resource?

9:03 pm

JBsAnno

See what these weird word grids do to us - sharing meds and libations.
Hmm, chocolate, anyone?

9:04 pm

mamabear

how about "tenacier"?????? LOL
Yes Angelsong - I saw it in the Bab Anon link. But I don't know how to use it myself.... :( But I think it is wonderful!!!

9:04 pm

musicmom

Tenacious is a good word. I only saw Romper Room a few times. We were Captain Kangaroo watchers. I even had green jeans.

9:04 pm

JBsAnno

Angelsong - it's be ay yuu tiful! Thanks for a lovely job!

9:04 pm

9:06 pm

mamabear

Angelsong - how can I take that page you created and use it myself?

9:06 pm

JBsAnno

LOL, MBear, "tenacier" it is!

9:07 pm

mamabear

LOLier !!!!!!

9:07 pm

Angelsong

mamma, the links on the page are all active. just click to open them for the resources. Easy.

9:07 pm

JBsAnno

The nice thing about virtual chocolate is that no matter how much you share, there's always plenty left over for your own chocolate fantasy.

9:07 pm

mamabear

Wunderbar!!!!!!!

9:08 pm

JBsAnno

Don't you mean

wunderbarier?

9:08 pm

mamabear

mmmmmm......chocolatier!!!!!

9:08 pm

Angelsong

Oh, Mamma, I am SO glad you asked. I will make you one of your own if you want one, with full instructions on how to use it.

9:09 pm

mamabear

That sounds like alot of work, Angelsong!!!!! I could use the one in BabAnon..... you are sooo smart to have created something like that!!!! Smartier than I!!!!!

9:10 pm

Angelsong

Mama, I did that page, from nothing to full page, in about 20 minutes. so, no, it doesn't take long at all. Do you want one?

9:11 pm

JBsAnno

LOL!
I'm going to concentrate on the rest of my words, but I'll keep an eye on the log, ladies! I'm also watching figure skating, the one time in four years that I get to control the remote!

9:12 pm

mamabear

That would be great, Angelsong!!!!!! How generous of you!!!!! ((((((((((((((ANGELSONG))))))) ))))))))))))

9:12 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, great phrase: "moments of brilliance followed by extreme sloppiness"
describes me on Babble tonight!

9:13 pm

mamabear

is that their new way of saying "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat?"

9:13 pm

musicmom

Folks - i'm going to sign off for tonight. The kids were absolutely wild in class tonight and I'm beat. i want to finish watching the skating. Thanks for the great conversation and all the help. Happy Babbling!

9:14 pm

Angelsong

Mamma, I will need to know what colors you like, and your e mail address.

9:14 pm

JBsAnno

LOL, MB! ABC's Wide World of Sports, and that poor ski jumper...

Clue request - ce 6/27, please?

9:14 pm

mamabear

Good Nitier, MM!!!!!

9:14 pm

mamabear

9:15 pm

JBsAnno

'Night, musicmom! Happy dreams!

9:15 pm

mamabear

I love blues and purples, Angel..... *I need to ask you though what a project of this nature will cost though*.......

9:16 pm

Angelsong

mamma: cost is.......zero dollars. nothing, nada.

9:17 pm

mamabear

Angel!!!!! You ARE an ANGEL!!!!! My email address is mamabear3cubs@yahoo.com

9:18 pm

mamabear

And there is no hurry..... take your time!!!!!! *I'm so excited*

9:20 pm

Angelsong

I make the pages as a hobby. I do it for fun. I made the one I have online using a different template, three days after I started playing babble. Then I just decided to change the template, and got the idea that others might like to see it....

9:20 pm

JBsAnno

Whoo hoo, Emily Hughes - way to skate!!!!

9:24 pm

JBsAnno

Mama, help again?
An angel (and not Angelsong, either, hee hee)???
I'm guessing it's c-e-r to start, based on the position in the list, but I can't make an acceptable ending

9:26 pm

mamabear

kind of sounds like a man of the law (like Andy of Mayberry)

9:26 pm

JBsAnno

and DUH!!! got it!
....here's the fish, I was sitting on it....

*whack*

Hmm, for some reason, I didn't feel that at all...

9:48 pm

JBsAnno

Good news, thank God!

9:49 pm

JBsAnno

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- your cups o'kitty are absolutely adorable!!!

9:50 pm

Angelsong

I'm so glad about the wee one, GW. Good news!

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

No one is happier to hear the news than Kirsten --- she is champing at the bit to get home -- she has had enough of trying to sleep on the fold out bed in his room!

9:52 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, G!
I got them from the extremely cute site...um,
dang it, too muzzy to remember the address, sorry!

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- do you mean Cute Overload?

9:54 pm

JBsAnno

9:54 pm

GreyWoulf

10:04 pm

Cathyar

10:04 pm

doxy1lover

you are welcome

10:05 pm

mamabear

GW!!!!!! I was on the phone with my daughter and came back and here you are!!! I'm glad wee one is doing better!!!!!!

10:05 pm

GreyWoulf

((**MAMA**)) -- I was wondering where you were :)

10:06 pm

mamabear

The grid is a booger...... used a2z ALOT

10:07 pm

mamabear

If you are working it, general rule of thumb is to add "ier" to EVERY word!!!! LOLier

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, I am committed now -- (or should be) -- have found 53 already -- including the 8's and the 9 -- thanks to doxy just now and mrp early this AM :)

10:09 pm

mamabear

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh, rest assured that I will be asking for help in a bit :)

10:15 pm

mab

Finished.

Glad Sebastian is doing well, Grey. Now the grid: not so many odd words, just many words with one or more suffixes: ier, as Mama has said, and ic, id, oid, ide, and then the usuals. I advise the Sprite method - find the endings and then try everything with them. And remember the Inuit boat.

10:15 pm

mamabear

Well, I hate to say hi and run, but I have a headache the size of Nebraska...... have a good nite all!!!! Sleep well and sweet dreams.... ****mmmmwwwwaaaaahhhhh***

10:15 pm

Cathyar

Cathyar

Take care, Mama Bear. I'm off (in every sense) too. Night.

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Thats OK, Mama -- take care of yourself and we will see you again soon enough (*HUG*)

10:16 pm

doxy1lover

sp7 - start with the first 4 letters from the sp5 before it, add a vowel, vowel, consonant

10:16 pm

mamabear

I have to ask before I go..... "Inuit boat"????????

10:16 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, Mama, just return the bottle so I can get a refill!
Have a great night!

10:17 pm

JBsAnno

the oo's, MB

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks, mab -- G'night! (*Hug*)

10:18 pm

Cathyar

10:18 pm

mab

SP 7 was the last word for me. It means resembling a spiral.

10:19 pm

Blaze

Hail and Hello.... glad all is getting better here... only 76 to go.,,,,

10:19 pm

doxy1lover

10:20 pm

doxy1lover

70 here

10:21 pm

Cathyar

hmm...perhaps i'm missing something... thought that was the 7/32

10:22 pm

mab

There are two sp7/36 -- more seasoned, and looking like a spiral.

10:23 pm

Cathyar

hey...why does my total say NaN at the bottom of my list? Does it mean "not available now"? Have I requested too many clues or something?

10:23 pm

doxy1lover

there is also a 7/36 that is similar, different ending. Add 4th vowel, 3rd vowel and consonant

10:24 pm

mab

Oops, doxy already said that. Ok. Night for real now.

10:24 pm

doxy1lover

nite mab

10:27 pm

Cathyar

YAY!!! ty doxy & mab!

10:29 pm

JBsAnno

Cathyar - hit "refresh"

10:30 pm

Cathyar

Ah-hah!!! took one of my words away...guess Dr. God musta goofed!

10:32 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, the blashphemy! right in the chat log too!
LOL!

10:32 pm

Cathyar

it accepted it at first...then the total for that word disappeared...and when refreshed...the word vanished! but my total came back at least!

10:33 pm

JBsAnno

FYI, Dr_God made a visitation to the log today, around 2pm, I think.
I had a vision!

10:34 pm

Blaze

clueless for sk5 please

10:34 pm

Cathyar

LOL...ya...i saw him too JBs... he must have been working on something!!! my game went down for a bit!

10:35 pm

Blaze

10:37 pm

JBsAnno

10:38 pm

Cathyar

well...it was a to6

10:38 pm

Cathyar

topire... funny...there arent even any to6's in this puzzle 2nite.

10:39 pm

JBsAnno

C - add an "ier" to it somewhere, and it would fit right in with this grid!

10:39 pm

Cathyar

i need to find an icon with someone wearing a dunce cap...that'd be moi!

10:40 pm

JBsAnno

Suggestion - go to Google Images, and type in "dunce cap"
You might like what you find!

10:42 pm

Cathyar

well...got my 8's and 9's...five 7's (all with much assistance)...but i can't take it anymore. 12:39 a.m. here and work comes early a.m.! G'nite all...hope to see you tomorrow! BTW...I suggested earlier that we do car logo icons tomorrow! (I pick the "H" Honda)

10:42 pm

Yay, Cathyar! Looks good!

10:51 pm

Eva

While we're still on favorite offspring- I couldn't figure out how to get a picture of Merp the cat to transfer, but this guy looks like his twin.

10:54 pm

Eva

Doesn't really show how gorgeous he is. I have to get my computer expert neighbor to come over and guide me through the process of using shots from iphoto as icons. I've tried and tried to do it as the directions on the profile page say, and it will not work.

10:56 pm

doxy1lover

Eva, I've had the same problem. I can't get my pictures to load from my desktop.

10:59 pm

helenkeller

gee, i wish i had read this alot earlier - i put in two words that didn't show up and weren't in the total, but when i tried to put them in again, it said they were already there!

10:59 pm

Blaze

25 to go but alas alac I must go to.... see after the flip...

11:00 pm

helenkeller

been fretting about that for a while, now i know to refresh - live & learn, thx

11:00 pm

doxy1lover

helen, when that happens, hit your refresh button.

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

still have 56 to go here, Blaze -- Fare well and see you tomorrow :)

(*Hug*)

11:01 pm

doxy1lover

bye blaze

11:01 pm

Eva

Good to know that I'm not the only one who can't get such stuff to work-I'm sure that there's some simple fix and that the way I have the photos stored in iphoto doesn't supply the correct url info. But have no idea how to change that.

11:03 pm

Eva

well, 58 left to go and I'm bidding you all a good night and good sleep. Here's to hoping that tomorrow's grid will have more of a resemblance to the English language.

11:03 pm

helenkeller

thx doxy - did it, all better now

11:04 pm

doxy1lover

that happens to me on occasion.

11:06 pm

doxy1lover

11:11 pm

chic

GW, one is the one you cook with and one you get at the end of a transaction...

11:11 pm

helenkeller

grey, i think we may be sharing the same boat here

11:12 pm

doxy1lover

re6 - similar to a slip of paper you get when shopping, take the i out.

11:12 pm

skuraki

di 5/18. . .think of what you repair after a golf swing

11:12 pm

doxy1lover

11:13 pm

skuraki

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

11:16 pm

helenkeller

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Congratulations helen!!!!!!!

11:26 pm

doxy1lover

11:26 pm

bunnyvicious

or + one of your e words (sounds like allright)
or + aster*** + vowel

11:27 pm

helenkeller

Hey, Grey whatever happened to Smeltzdog?

GreyWoulf

kristi -- this whole situation has been all the more bearable thanks to all the support I have received from my fellow Babbleonians --- and the understanding of my new employers -- they have been completely sympathetic to the fact that I have not been able to work my full shift due to having to watch my daughter :)

GreyWoulf

chic -- you know, I was wondering that myself just yesterday -- I think he may just be too busy right now, but I really don't know :)
