LeslieAnn

In that case... I'd better say I meant a dancing pic :D

1:38 am

sandyloo

1:38 am

krajcd55

Great! I only have 24 words left. Thank you.

1:38 am

sandyloo

u yankee doodles seem to sleep in the middle of the day lol

1:39 am

krajcd55

I guess... I am a night owl

1:40 am

Eren

Im up late too. I have three left and I cant seem to let them go for sleep.

1:40 am

sandyloo

cant figure out those dh's

1:41 am

sandyloo

i wish i didnt have to sleep then i would have more time for this

1:42 am

Eren

The dh's are a hindi word and its plural

1:43 am

Eren

Im missing:

al 6/ 21
le 5/ 14
le 6/ 24

1:43 am

krajcd55

Tornado watches and storms here.

1:45 am

sandyloo

thanks for that eren but i cant help you on yours i dont have them either
storms can be exciting kraj we have boring sunny sky here but i hope u r safe

1:45 am

krajcd55

dh 5/14 - is one long piece of cloth
dh + opposite of cold without the "h" and add third vowel

1:47 am

krajcd55

I sort of like it when it rains and storms, but can do without the tornados.

1:47 am

Eren

that was more helpful than my clue. I just kept thinking of chapatis. which isnt helpful.

1:49 am

krajcd55

I cheated - I looked it up in the dictionary.

1:51 am

sandyloo

thanks im working on those clues but i dont know how you managaed to look it up in the dictionary lol

1:51 am

sandyloo

and i definitely love the cold and rain but we dont get enough of it here i hate the heat

1:52 am

krajcd55

But it is so beautiful there.

1:53 am

sandyloo

1:54 am

sandyloo

it is beautiful i live in west australia and have just spent the weekend on our nearby island (Rottnest) and i spent the whole weekend thinking how lucky i am to live in such a place

1:56 am

sandyloo

crystal clear waters lots of fish to see when u snorkel and the beaches in perth are the best in the world (maybe i havent seen hawaii) but ive been to a few places and that includes the goldcoast in queensland bondi florida(usa) thailand ect and our beaches are better

1:57 am

sandyloo

but it doesnt help to bear the heat when you are not at the beach and i would prefer colder weather

1:58 am

sandyloo

australia is a great place for holidays u should visit

1:58 am

krajcd55

How lucky you are!! It is so beautiful!

1:59 am

krajcd55

I would love to travel there.

1:59 am

sandyloo

where r u kraj

1:59 am

krajcd55

I live outside of Dallas, Texas. The heat is unbearable here in the summers.

2:01 am

sandyloo

kraj america has got some fantastic scenery i know
and i would like to see snow falling i have never seen that

2:04 am

krajcd55

When is your winter months?

2:06 am

krajcd55

I grew up outside of Cleveland, Ohio and I do miss the snow. We get snow or ice maybe one or two days out of the year.

2:06 am

krajcd55

In Texas we get one or two days of snow or ice

2:08 am

sandyloo

officially autumn starts in march (haha) which is our hottest month -we dont really have an autumn- when april comes we get our first rain and the weather is beautiful - changes very suddenly- winter is officially from june to end of august i think

2:09 am

sandyloo

do you ever sleep it must be late there?

2:11 am

krajcd55

Really? So you are having winter when we are having our summer. I did not know that. I am going to try and get some sleep. I have trouble sleeping! I think it is menopause (which I am in denial of) since I am 51.

2:12 am

sandyloo

2:13 am

sandyloo

3:04 am

Dianne

mari - most of the time I don't know what half these words mean so I go for the easy clue :)

3:06 am

macadam

Frequently no clues are available.Very frustrating.

3:08 am

macadam

Why can we use the word if the little tick-boxes don`t give us any information.Sorry I must be going to have a bad day!!!!

3:08 am

Dianne

mac - you are so right - sometimes some one will ask for a clue and I'm thinking & thinking to no avail and thankfully someone else comes up with it so I can heave my sigh of relief (and not admit my stupidity).

3:09 am

macadam

I like the way you think.Your clues are always helpful.

3:10 am

Dianne

mac - how can be be about to have a bad day - you've almost finished today's Babble :)

3:11 am

sandyloo

i think all of your clues are clever i can never think of clues except obscure cryptic ones

3:11 am

Onpaki

some clues will be appreciated, but i don't know what i'm missing, so it's kind of difficult to ask. :p

3:11 am

macadam

Good point.I feel better already.:)

3:13 am

macadam

Onpaki,thats the benefit of being pro.You get a grid telling you how many words for the letters and more info.

3:13 am

Dianne

onpaki - there are 2 E words and 2 F words (no pun intended). Do you have these four?

3:14 am

Onpaki

4:23 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. Everyone must be busy at the grid.

4:26 am

FMitch

Morning Haz,
Finished the grid and checking out Dr_G's sudoku one, am a bit rusty (used to do them before Babble).

4:28 am

Haz1558

The term iron suduko suggests that it is difficult! What's the weather like with you? It's blowing up a storm here.

4:29 am

FMitch

It's not too bad here today bit of blue sky but it is v cold with some wind.

4:30 am

Haz1558

It's a day for the tumble drier here. Did you watch Cruft's last night?

4:31 am

Anj

Morning : )

4:31 am

FMitch

Yes I did although I missed the 1st 1/2hr. Did you agree with the winner or would yo uhave picked another one?

4:32 am

Haz1558

I thought that the runner up - the fox terrier, was lovely. But I have NEVER managed to pick the winner!

4:32 am

FMitch

Morning Anj, unusual to see you at this time.

4:33 am

Anj

Morning FMitch. I know. I couldn't stop dreaming of sodoku puzzles I couldn't solve : /

4:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, good morning, Anj.

4:34 am

Anj

Morning Haz : )

4:34 am

FMitch

LOL, I am having a go right now - 1 window open with babble chat and another with soduku!

4:36 am

Anj

It wasn't funny..even Mr P admitted the thing was damn near impossible. Maybe I could have cracked it fresh, but not at 3am lol : )

4:36 am

Haz1558

I'm not even going to TRY Iron sudoku!

4:36 am

Jera

So happy to know I'm not the only one, FMitch!

Morning, all!

4:37 am

FMitch

LOL Jera, morning to you!
Anj today's says it's an easy one but I reserve judgement.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jera.

4:37 am

Anj

Morning Jera : )

4:38 am

Jera

I think it's easier on paper, for some reason...

4:40 am

FMitch

I agree jera, thats how I am used to doing them and haven' ever really got on with online ones but seeing as it's Dr-G am giving it a go.

4:41 am

Jera

I wanna be a Friend of Babble, but I don't wanna do a blog... what do you guys think about a "weird dictionary?" Wither unusual words you won't find anywhere but Babble (assuming you're enlish-speaking, I guess)...

4:43 am

Haz1558

How would it work, Jera? Would you just add the fresh weird ones as they appear in the grid?

4:45 am

mrpresident

Hi everyone! Sudoku is definitely not my thang! lickety can see the solution from the moon, but it takes me about 1 hour to figure the numbers in one box!

4:46 am

Jera

That would be easiest, I think, Haz... & contributions would be encourage, since the definition of weird would vary... but a collection of Hawaiian words & Chinese money would be nice for newbies, I think...

4:46 am

Anj

Morning Mr P - did anyone crack that beast yesterday? : )

4:46 am

Jera

Gday, mrpresident!

4:47 am

mrpresident

G'Day Jera!

Hi all!!

4:47 am

FMitch

Jera, there is a section on babanon already for strange words if memory serves me right, maybe you could build on that?

4:48 am

Haz1558

Jera - why not try it and see. For those of us who have been babbling a while, the reference to the volcano or the greek cheese is obvious, but not for newcomers. It might make it easier for them to decipher clues. Not that we're anything less than brilliant at giving them!!

4:49 am

rolin

morning all..can someone give me a clue for the al5 pls?

4:50 am

Haz1558

al 5/12 - add part of a girl's plaything.

4:50 am

Anj

Morning rolin - al plus barbie less that last L : )

4:50 am

Jera

I wouldn't want to steal anyone's thunder, but I just wanna be a Friend of Babble... vanity?

I don't think I'm interesting enough for just a regular blog, & I like to be useful, so a reference page seemed a good idea...

4:51 am

Anj

Jera, a list of the usual suspects plus any unusual stuff wouldn't go amiss : )

4:51 am

rolin

*sigh*..thx anj..was looking right at it..

4:51 am

Haz1558

Maybe you could include a section on how to interpret clues - hoops, crosses, latin endings etc.

4:52 am

Jera

I'd have to figure that out first myself, Haz, LOL

4:52 am

Anj

y/w Rolin : ) I'm having a slow start to the day myself : /

4:53 am

Jera

Thanks for that clue, btw Anj... I'm working backwards today & now all I need is the al8 to be done!

4:54 am

Haz1558

Do you want a clue, or do you want to finish on your own?

4:55 am

Jera

Ooh, ooh! I just had a great name... Babbler for Dummies! I could have a list of things like the volcano & the white buffalo that can discourage newbies... whattya think?

4:56 am

FMitch

Yea, Go Jera!!!!

4:56 am

Jacula

Morning all.:-) I see our Lola's in the grid today.

4:57 am

Haz1558

I like it, Jera, but then I'm horribly politically incorrect!

4:57 am

Jera

I think I need a hint, please...

4:58 am

Haz1558

Jera - it's somewhere people used to go for alcoholic beverages.

4:58 am

sandyloo

al in the top right hand corner ...??? anyone help pleeese
al 4/5

4:58 am

ExWren

All done! Now, tell me, what am I to do with the rest of my day. Don't tell me to do sukoko, I can't do it (or spell it)

4:58 am

mrpresident

al8 beer + ho5/14

4:59 am

sandyloo

ex wren go to iwin.com and play tangleword

4:59 am

Jera

Never mind, I found it!! Great way to end the grid...

4:59 am

Anj

sandyloo - 4:50 post : )

4:59 am

Haz1558

The al4/4 from that corner is a female singing voice.

5:00 am

Anj

wtg ExWren : )

Try Sodoku...what? Oh, sorry! ; )

5:00 am

Jera

Oh, thanks for the help... does it count if I found it before reading hints??

5:00 am

sandyloo

ive got the singing one

5:00 am

Haz1558

Yes, of course it counts, Jera.

5:01 am

sandyloo

its the al 4/5

5:01 am

Jera

Yay!

*happy dance of doneness*

(so early in the morning)

5:02 am

Jera

Usually I don't bother dancing in the wee hours as there is rarely anyone around...

I guess it's not so wee, though, really... must get family up in just an hour...

5:02 am

Haz1558

ai 4/5 is someone who helps

5:03 am

sandyloo

thanks haz i printed it out on used paper and now i see its ai LOL

5:03 am

Haz1558

Glad it's worked out!

5:05 am

sandyloo

oh its the 6/21 al im missing anybody..... anybody?

5:05 am

sandyloo

jera is your icon the american girl guides badge?

5:06 am

Jera

I think I figured out why I like Sudoku so much even though I'm not very good... 3 is a magic number & 3 x 3 is even better... not sure how that translates to Christianity, but these things = balance in the pagan sector...

5:07 am

Jera

Yes, sandyloo... yesterday was Girl Scouts (USA) 94th birthday... it's Girl Scout Week, so I probably won't be changing my icon...

5:07 am

Anj

Sandy, al plus hoop, plus Cameron D.... without the last letter : )

5:10 am

sandyloo

oh thanks anj what sort of a word is that i would never have gotten it!!

5:10 am

Jera

I think I'll have a special section for small freaky words... the ones you usually find only by monkey-typing...

5:11 am

sandyloo

put that al6/21 in jera

5:11 am

Anj

Sandy, this one is full of noodles today : )

5:12 am

sandyloo

have to go to the wharf in a minute to see my mum off on her cruise to mauritius- lucky thing- the whole family has to go and wave her off !! lol

5:13 am

Jera

Al6/21or Alwa was the southernmost of the three kingdoms of Christian Nubia... (wikipedia)

5:14 am

sandyloo

LOL jera i should have known!!

5:14 am

Anj

...er, that sounds like a proper noun to me then : /

5:14 am

Jera

I think proper names are dirty pool, foreign words, too. Not that English is the only language, but when you are playing a word game, I think you should pick a language (any language) and stick with it...

5:15 am

sandyloo

uh oh with 9 left i have to go bbl(of course)

5:16 am

Jera

See ya, sandyloo!

5:17 am

Jera

Okay, I have another idea if you all aren't sick of me picking your brains... maybe I could start a yahoo group & have different sections that anyone could contribute to?

5:18 am

kaynanda

Hey people - hows everyone doing?
Have been away a while...how many words are we looking for today?

5:19 am

Jacula

I keep 'seeing' Sprite in the grid, too.

5:19 am

Jera

Only 87 words today, kaynanda!

5:19 am

Jacula

87 words to find today, Kay.

5:20 am

Jera

Jacula, tell me about your icon!

5:20 am

ExWren

easy today, kaynanda, I hardly had to look at a2z.

5:21 am

mummy

hi all, how many words today please?

5:21 am

Jera

Oops, that should have been a question mark... I sound way too perky for this hour...

5:21 am

Atalante

hi guys! what's the theme for today?

5:21 am

Jacula

Jera - It's Dame Margot Fonteyn & Rudolph Nureyev, two of the finest ballet dancers of all time.

5:22 am

kaynanda

thanks :-)

5:24 am

Jacula

Atalante - Today's theme is 'ballet'.

5:26 am

Jera

Ooooh, okay... I wasn't keeping up with the theme... maybe I'll put Barishnikov on later... ;D

5:26 am

mummy

even here I am invisible....

5:26 am

Atalante

thanks Jac :) I now have a pic from the only ballet I've ever seen - Gerald Scarfe's designs from Nutcracker

5:26 am

Atalante

87 mummy

5:27 am

Jera

Don't feel invisible mummy... you just asked a question that was very recently asked & answered already... 87 words today...

5:27 am

Jacula

Good morning 'Mummy'. It's not having an icon that gets you 'lost' in the chat. Happens to my Other Half lots!

5:27 am

mummy

thank you Atlante, I don't feel so invisible now!

5:29 am

mummy

Sorry all, I really don't want to be a pain in the posterior, it's just that being in Australia now affects the brain power, you know how in the southern hemisphere the water goes down the plug hole the opp direction, well it takes a while for the blood to adjust to doing the same in the veins!

5:29 am

miametro

morning all. not liking todays puzzle at all!

5:30 am

Jera

You're funny, mummy... we have several Aussies here, you will be fine!

5:34 am

mummy

Thank you for your support Jera, I must get an icon fixed up when I return to the northern hemisphere... in the meanwhile I may just give up on today's grid, too much shiraz makes the brain even fuzzier...

5:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning, miametro - what's not pleasing you about the puzzle today?

Jera, those le words are candidates for your idea : /

5:36 am

Angelsong

hi again!

5:39 am

Anj

Hi Angel : )

Right, i'm off to get a maths complex on the sodoku again... : /

5:39 am

Jera

I concur, Anj...

5:40 am

Angelsong

If you see MrP, I need to find out where I can send her an e mail. I have her Babble Page done.

5:44 am

Jera

Okay, poll time... is the entity BABBLE male or female??

5:44 am

Jacula

If you're talking about the 'le' Hawaiian flowers, they must have been in the grid before as I had no trouble spotting them.

5:45 am

Jera

Right, Jacula, but that's the sort of thing that could discourage newcomers...

5:45 am

Jacula

I think the Babble grid is female, even though her creator is not.

5:46 am

mrpresident

Angel!!! I am so pleased!! My email is in my profile...

5:47 am

Angelsong

MrP, I tried sending you an e mail yesterday at that addresss and it bounced back to me with an error message saying no such account exists.

5:48 am

Jera

I concur, Jacula, but I'm not sure if that might be because we are female? Looking for male opinions... I'm working on the group statement for my new Babble group...

5:48 am

mrpresident

mmmm... will go see what is up with that BRB

5:49 am

Jacula

Jera, I guess so. I'm a 'words' person you see and find them fairly easy, unlike the Sudokuh! (I've registered me and Paul on there to show support for Dr_G's new venture but I doubt I'll be playing much. I'm hopeless at number puzzles. Paul will probably enjoy it though.)

5:50 am

Jera

How does this sound so far... (advice welcome)

BABBLE 4 Dummies

An interactive reference site for the awesomely amazing (and highly addictive) on-line computer word game BABBLE.

Here you will find lists of unusual words (at least to those of us who speak English as a first language), links to helpful word-finding sites, and helpful hints for newcomers who might be feeling discouraged and overwhelmed by our harsh mistress!

5:51 am

mrpresident

Angel, I fixed it... needed 'au' on the end... oops!

5:51 am

Jera

I think I need to drop a "helpful" in the last paragraph...

5:53 am

Jacula

Jera - Yes. Drop the 2nd 'helpful' or change it to 'handy'.

5:53 am

Eva

good morning everyone. Someone said this was an easy one, but I'm not finding it so....22 to go and bogged down. Yesterday's made much more sense to me.

5:53 am

Jera

Oooh, good one... thanks, Jacula!

5:56 am

Jacula

y/w, Jera.

Good morning, Eva.

6:01 am

Jera

Well, it's 7 already... gotta go wake up these people & get them out of my house... back later, hopefully to introduce my new group!

6:01 am

Haz1558

Jera, I think your ending 'harsh mistress' might make some people feel more overwhelmed than ever. I understand that you are trying to convey the feeling of the addictive qualities of babble but harsh might not be the best adjective.

6:02 am

Atalante

demanding instead of harsh?

6:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, atalante - I would be happy with that.

6:03 am

Jacula

Atalante - you took the words right out of my mouth! LOL.

6:03 am

Atalante

great minds think alike or something ;)

6:04 am

Jacula

Does anyone but me now have a mental picture of a leather-clad grid wielding a whip???

6:04 am

Atalante

I do now. Unfortunately!

6:04 am

Haz1558

Just you, Jacula!!

6:05 am

Jacula

ROFLOL

6:14 am

mrpresident

OMG I am watching a really scary movie... from Sweden "Drowing Ghost"... but the atmosphere is compulsive! I can't avert my eyes!

6:16 am

Jacula

Just looking it up, MrP... 'A boarding school is planning a macabre celebration of sorts to mark the hundredth anniversary of the brutal murders of three students. As a current student investigates the initial crime, she discovers some unsavory facts. Was the family of the school's main beneficiaries behind the murders? Perhaps the thing they were hoping to hide is one and the same entity as that roaming the school's halls on the eve of the event. And perhaps it's looking for new prey...'

About to watch a clip.

6:20 am

Jacula

Oooh, it looks good! What the hell was the thing in the wash basin??

View clip here:

Jacula

6:24 am

Angelsong

MrP...check your e mail!

6:25 am

Angelsong

any help wih the a8?

6:26 am

Haz1558

Angel, it's an old fashioned name for a bar/pub.

6:26 am

Jacula

Angel - I hope you've only e-mailed MrP her page and not one of those things where they get you to look closely at the screen and then a screaming face jumps out at you? The poor woman would have a heart attack, given the film she's watching. LOL.

6:27 am

capone

happy? monday everyone.

6:28 am

Angelsong

nothing is going to jump out anywhere. it's zipped, and even when she unzips it, it is safe!

6:28 am

Jacula

Hello Capone.

6:28 am

Jacula

I was just kidding, Angel.:-)

8:42 am

ToeSockMonkey

Lick glass!?! What? Fearie did you need help with something?

8:43 am

kissmyglass04

87 seems deceiving is it a tough one today?

8:43 am

Haz1558

It's okay - quite a lot of normal words and the usual ration of weird ones. It's doable.

8:44 am

faeriekae

TSM-go smack Capone-he says you will help me clean my windows because you love to lick glass...

See Capone I told on you.

8:44 am

8:44 am

faeriekae

8:50 am

Jera

I hope so, AngelSong! Your page is aweseome! I looked at it & got kind of at a loss for words how to describe it in a nutshell on my links list!

8:50 am

capone

8:51 am

faeriekae

ROFL Capone.....

8:51 am

Jera

Thanks... I'm working on a post about crazy little words... you know, the ones you usually find by monkey-typing!

8:52 am

Jen

What kind of words do they censor? I swear I wrote crap the other day and it went through.

8:52 am

Jera

Maybe a glossary, too, we have some cool slang that might confuse newbies...

8:52 am

EvaNadine

bring the tally for that group up to 3 members!
;)

8:52 am

ToeSockMonkey

Capone :( Could use a hug

Faerie, I will help you with your window! I will bring cinnamon rolls so we can have breakfast before we work lol

8:52 am

shorty

8:53 am

capone

8:53 am

shorty

oh cool

8:53 am

faeriekae

thanks TSM - sounds like fun

8:54 am

faeriekae

8:54 am

Jera

Crap is okay, not sure if shit is or not...

8:54 am

EvaNadine

man, this board sounds like a <beep>ing good time today!

8:54 am

faeriekae

Jera got beeped lol

8:54 am

Jera

Guess not. But it's a valid BABBLE word... go figure...

8:55 am

Jera

I think if it's a BABBLE word, we should be able to say it in chat... seems only fair...

8:55 am

capone

Why do you need a hug TSM? My <beep> wasn't enough?

8:55 am

faeriekae

al 6/21

8:56 am

faeriekae

(((((TSM)))))
I'll hug you if Capone won't..

8:56 am

hurshy

hi bex, faerie, etc etc....

jera - i'm glad we CAN'T say all the babble words in the chatroom...

8:56 am

faeriekae

Jera I agree.. 100%

8:57 am

Haz1558

al6/21 - add a hoop and spanish for day.

8:57 am

bex777

why arent u allowed to say babble?

8:57 am

Jera

Al6/21 or Alwa was the southernmost of the three kingdoms of Christian Nubia. Most of what is known about Christian Nubia comes from either contemporary Egyptian sources and the intensive archaeological work done in Lower Nubia prior to the flooding of many sites by the Aswan High Dam. Neither of these sources shed much light on what went on the Upper Nubia during this period and very little is known about Al6/21.

8:58 am

Jera

Some BABBLE words I would never say, I'm faaaaaar too much of a lady!

8:58 am

faeriekae

Thanks Jera...

8:58 am

hurshy

you ARE allowed to say babble, bex, you are not allowed to say swear words which sometimes show up in the grid and are counted as words...

8:59 am

bex777

oh rite i get you now!!!

8:59 am

Jera

AL6/21 is also a saint of some sort...

9:00 am

bex777

is the al 8 an extension of the 6?

9:00 am

Jera

I have never played Boggle... are proper nouns allowed in that game? They aren't allowed in Scrabble, that I've ever played... neither are foreign words...

9:00 am

Haz1558

No - it's two words joined together to make an old-fashioned pub/bar

9:00 am

EvaNadine

bex -- the AL8 is kinda like a place where beer lives.
;)

9:00 am

shorty

Ok Peeps I gotta go clean see ya all later I STILL have 7 words LOL

9:01 am

Jera

No bex... you can get a beer at the al8 (old timey kind)

9:01 am

Haz1558

But they're 7 good words, aren't they, Shorty?

9:01 am

capone

PEEPS!

TSM loves PEEPS!

9:01 am

Jera

Poor shorty, we are very distracting today... later, hon!

9:02 am

faeriekae

bex - al 8 another word for beer + what you live in.

9:02 am

capone

I foresee a few Peeps in TSM's future.

8)

9:02 am

faeriekae

Bye Shorty

9:02 am

shorty

yes they are

9:02 am

Jera

You know what I like best about sudoku? Other than the 3 x 3 magic stuff?

9:03 am

bex777

yey i got it!!! thanks!!!

9:03 am

Haz1558

What do you like best about sudo whats it?

9:04 am

Jera

It announces when someone logs on... so everyone can say hi!

9:05 am

Jera

Speaking of Peeps, I need to go Easter Bunny shopping this week before all the good stuff is gone...

9:05 am

hurshy

aren't there like zillions of people who babble, though, and wouldn't it get crazy if babble did that?

9:07 am

Jera

Probably, hurshy. Also wouldn't help with people like me who log on & keep the window open 24/7... I restart once a week, otherwise I'm always in Babbleland!

9:07 am

Haz1558

Does that mean you can't really lurk like you can here?

9:09 am

Angelsong

it's been very exciting here today!

9:09 am

bex777

is anyone tried the new sudoko puzzle??

9:10 am

Jera

I'm not sure... I have been on since last night & I don't think it re-announces me when I open that window... same loophole as here.

9:10 am

hurshy

what's been exciting, angel?

9:11 am

faeriekae

I'm diving in so please don't think I'm being rude but I would like try and find a few words before going to therapy. bbl

9:11 am

Jera

I got all but 4 squares last night! Going back & forth playing it & chatting here & working on my group... I'm a busy beaver today!

9:11 am

ToeSockMonkey

Peeps in my future? what? I don't eat them, I just look at them lol

9:11 am

renfield

i did the suduko yesterday. it was hard. dr g-d said today would be easier.

9:11 am

Jera

I don't like Peeps, they are like eating sand... *shudder*

9:12 am

Jera

I have 9 empty squares in sudoku...

9:13 am

Jen

Mmmm, peeps... but I like the bunnies better than the chicks.

9:13 am

ToeSockMonkey

OMG Jera! Your right! Sand covered old marshmellos! AH!

9:14 am

Jen

Anyone else notice my alma mater is glaringly obvious in today's puzzle? :)

9:14 am

Jera

Make that 7 empty squares... I'm having a hard time placing 7's today for some reason...

9:15 am

Jera

*whispers*

What is your alma mater, Jen?

9:15 am

Jen

FSU... Florida State University. Go Noles!! :)

9:15 am

Jera

9:21 am

bex777

9:21 am

Jera

Would you like help or would you rather do it yourself, hurshy?

9:22 am

doxy1lover

hurshy, I'm not too far ahead of you. I have 16 that aren't gray

9:22 am

hurshy

i'll take help with the a - it's off the top one, and i have ad4, al8, al6, and al4

9:26 am

Uneaixoise

9:27 am

Uneaixoise

9:27 am

Jera

ah5/14 = what Unea said...

9:27 am

hurshy

that's off the lower a, i've got that.

9:28 am

Haz1558

al5/12

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

al + Barbie = al5

9:29 am

doxy1lover

thanks for the clues une

9:29 am

hurshy

thank you haz!

9:30 am

hurshy

only 9 words left! but as there are only 2 more 4's, i will prob have to get the list soon

9:31 am

hurshy

i have one la4 and one le4, i'm sure i need more of one or the other of those...

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

loving the fact that bi4/6 actually appears "on the bi4" in the grid!

9:32 am

hurshy

lol, that is so funny une

9:35 am

capone

back for more abuse.

TSM, you'll see what I mean about the peeps soon enough.

9:35 am

ToeSockMonkey

well I am up to 26 words now

9:36 am

hurshy

no comments on la or le words?

9:36 am

capone

and check your email

9:37 am

ToeSockMonkey

Thank you Capone :)

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

only one la word, hurshy, and you've already got it, right?

9:38 am

hurshy

yes - how about le, then?

9:38 am

Munner

I need a great hint for od 6/24 please.

9:38 am

hurshy

i have only one le4

9:38 am

Uneaixoise

i suspect the reason you haven't gotten clues on the le5 and le6 is that there's no dictionary definition :(

9:39 am

hurshy

od 6/24 horrible or smelly

9:39 am

hurshy

oh, can i have the point values on them, though?

9:39 am

doxy1lover

le5,6 - le + h + 2 vowels, plural

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

ok, try this--remember Al Pacino's phrase in Scent of a Woman?? . . . le + that phrase

9:39 am

Munner

A good clue I saw earlier for le 5 is le = Hawaiian dance minus the third letter

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

le5/14 and le6/24

9:40 am

capone

btw, in keeping with todays theme, my icon is called devil dance,

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

good one, munner!

9:40 am

Munner

Thanks, hurshy

9:40 am

hurshy

9:42 am

Munner

pi 5???

9:42 am

doxy1lover

I'm down to a's, b's and d's.

9:43 am

hurshy

pi5 - religious, devoted

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

pi5 holy . . . think Pope P****

9:43 am

Haz1558

pi 5 - p plus notes promising to repay debts. Or just devout.

9:43 am

spellit

pi5 The pope is certainly this!

9:43 am

doxy1lover

pi5 - lots of vowels, someone holy or saintly

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

spellit, LOL!!

9:44 am

hurshy

think i'll just get the list...

9:44 am

Munner

Thanks to y'all. My last two words both had the same ending which I totally missed.

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

oops, I was laughing at Haz!

9:44 am

Haz1558

Glad I could raise a laugh!

9:46 am

hurshy

doxy - i'm betting your missing d's are the same as mine - dh5 and 6

9:47 am

doxy1lover

dh5,6 - d + opposit of cold + 3rd vowel, plural

9:47 am

ToeSockMonkey

ROFL @ Capone... Nice :) And check your email!

9:47 am

ToeSockMonkey

Haz1558

od has the same ending as pi5

9:58 am

lshult

Thanks

9:59 am

Jera

See, I'm okay with the to6, as it is also a sword made in the Spanish town.

9:59 am

Jera

That would be an exception to my proper noun gripe...

10:00 am

hurshy

jera - prob all the ones we think are proper have some other meaning like that...

10:08 am

faeriekae

Me too Toes - I have way to many other things I should be doing so I'll try to come back later and finish. House cleaning, and I'm also washing kitchen cabinets and cleaning them out. Spring fever has set in.

10:26 am

kissmyglass04

al/6 and al/8 any1?

10:27 am

bunnyvicious

al 8 - compound word meaning tavern
al 6 - al + third vowel + spanish for day (not my clue, read it earlier)

10:28 am

EvaNadine

*le sigh*

10:37 am

EvaNadine

10:37 am

bunnyvicious

Had my fill of one of those last night, ughh, prefer Bable today. Maybe we can open a Babble pub?

10:37 am

Jera

By both do you mean sudoku as well??

10:39 am

bunnyvicious

Yup she does, i can see heeeer in there with me.

10:42 am

Jera

Indeed it is, Haz...

10:42 am

EvaNadine

i have lots...hehe...lots of notes, but they almost confuse me more than not having them there!

10:43 am

Jera

I kind of work my way down left to right... make changes when I need to... still haven't figured out the "trick" if there is one...

10:43 am

wezzie.j.w

10:48 am

Jera

You mean my Friend status, FMitch??

10:48 am

FMitch

Hi TSM

10:48 am

10:49 am

EvaNadine

heh, i start with the ones that seem the easiest to fill in at start-time
6's, 7's, and 9's are done for me, i think

10:49 am

Hi everyone! : )

11:20 am

i figured that it helps to print it out + only write on the printed copy numbers you are 100% sure of.
that way, my notes dont confuse me, and if i mess up, i dont have to start from nothing.

11:37 am

lola100

Hey boreetos! : )

11:37 am

hurshy

lol bex - well, you are only 14. i am twice your age. when you get to be as old as me, maybe you will be top 20 too. :)

11:37 am

boreetos

yup, a yellow paisley elephant, and if I've learned anything from Disney cartoons, Elephants would excellent ballerinas.

11:38 am

hurshy

disney does rather give that impression...

11:38 am

boreetos

hey, I'm twice 14 too, and I guarantee I'm on the best losers list. :)

11:38 am

Eren

Thanks :)

Anyone need any clues before I take off?

boreetos

11:40 am

mo

clue for al5/12 please

11:40 am

hurshy

lol, you know i'm just kidding boreetos.

11:40 am

boreetos

I'm not so sure you should be kidding though, it's probably good advice.

11:41 am

hurshy

al5/12 like a medicine that calms people down if they have severe psychological problems, only without the first letter (h)

11:41 am

hurshy

anyone who has a paisley elephant for their icon is a good role model in my book.

11:41 am

Eren

11:43 am

mo

hurshy and Eren thank you both

11:43 am

boreetos

11:43 am

lola100

ishult, see clue at 11:35 : )

11:44 am

hurshy

al6 - it ends the way it begins, with not hi and a dead princess in between

11:45 am

hurshy

my favorite toy was a puppy. he went through several skins bc i wore him out so much, my mom would just recover him over and over.

11:45 am

boreetos

that's pretty awesome. any particular breed of skinned puppy?

11:46 am

Vicuna

I've had to do skin grafts on my kids' favorite puppies. I let them choose the color skin they wanted, so while one is pretty normal looking, the other looks like he's permanantly wearing a sweatshirt.

11:46 am

hurshy

nope, not a very realistic puppy - arms and legs places as if for a human, really...

11:47 am

hurshy

lol vi

11:47 am

hurshy

that was supposed to say placed

11:47 am

boreetos

that's also really awesome.

11:48 am

hurshy

i still have puppy. he is brown now.

11:48 am

hurshy

that was his name, puppy - lol, i was so creative...

11:49 am

boreetos

Hey TSM _I know my husband would go for a baking day in Chicago - he loves that city. I've never been there.

Lots of protein in spiders I hear.

1:16 pm

Deutsch

Thanks tiger and evanadine

1:18 pm

capone

whats the far too easy male joke, about how 32 physically = 9 mentally?

1:18 pm

musicmom

Well yeah - I was going to say 13 mentally. But, if you want it ot be 9 - far be it from me to argue<g>

1:19 pm

musicmom

But that's typical. I'm married to a 36 y.o 16 year old. hehehe.

ToeSockMonkey

Woot! Yes I agree, Chicago makes for a fun vacation. Lots to do. Carrage ride at night in the city when it's all lit up. Drinks up in the Signature room where it feels like you are floating above the whole world.

1:30 pm

renfield

yes...and nut went, and i think mab went...several people went..we were wondering about ranger...do you think she's going to start writing a ranger series?

1:40 pm

helenkeller

toesock - yep, i think you're right about that, cause for one thing the museums here are top notch - art institute, shedd, adler, ms&i - the food is outstanding & the architecture can be jaw dropping - it's nice to be reminded of that!

1:40 pm

joey

oh, lord, I don't think that I could handle a ranger series.

1:41 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Wait... nyG? you mean nyC right?

1:42 pm

renfield

joey...i think we would all plotz (faint) after the 1st chapter of the 1st book!!!

New York Giants > Chicago Bears

ToeSockMonkey

1:43 pm

joey

1:44 pm

renfield

joey...how about drive time w/ a book on tape?

1:45 pm

ToeSockMonkey

I love Chicago and all it's teams but I am proud to say that the Chicago Bear suck serious butt holio LOL Da Bears! Da Bears! Da Bears!

1:47 pm

capone

Blasphemer!

1:48 pm

helenkeller

lol toe - but see, that's what i mean, i've never even been on that ferris wheel -been to navy pier a ton of times too, matter of fact going tomorrow with my friend to the flower & garden show

1:49 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Helen, if tomorrow is anything like today I am sure they will not let anyone one the ferris wheel... too windy, but when spring comes around you should try it out! Great for a few pictures too...

1:49 pm

joey

ren

When I lived in PA that is all that I did - books on tape - had anywhere from 30 - 50 minute one way commute every day. now, I am .9 miles from work....... don't have much alone drive time......

1:50 pm

ToeSockMonkey

*Spanks Capone* NO! Naughty! Now sit down and eat your lunch like a good boy or no World Of Warcraft later

1:51 pm

helenkeller

toe - i know!!! can you believe how windy it is - was out & about & had a hard time closing the car door

1:51 pm

renfield

1:52 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Helen same here! I was freaking out because I have a little car and the wind was really pushing my car hard. Mitsubishi eclipse.

1:54 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Joey, is everything in Texas bigger? *wink* HAHA!

1:54 pm

joey

i get home before the car warms up in winter or cools down in summer....... love it.... a lot.

however, have about 100 books on tape that I don't need anymore...... 8)

1:54 pm

ToeSockMonkey

2:00 pm

helenkeller

i don't ride roller coasters - one of 3 things i was not allowed to do as a child: absolutely no roller coasters, no comic books & no 3 stooges - everything else was up to me! (but miami dolphins were my favorite team for a very long time)

Cathyar

2:00 pm

joey

tks cathyar. great clue

2:01 pm

EvaNadine

2:01 pm

boreetos

hk, I gotta say they aren't for everyone, but I heart roller coasters, comics and the Stooges. NYUK!

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

how about clues for the lower O word?

2:02 pm

boreetos

its an oh4/6

2:05 pm

Cathyar

I don't have ANY 6's...figured out the 8, but no 6's.

2:06 pm

helenkeller

boreetos - that's cause you are a boy! (at least the 3 stooges part!, lol)

2:07 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Capone - Aw I love your icon! Your a sweetie :)

Joey & Ren - Hurray for Texas! I should visit the state some time. That is one of the few that states I have yet to visit

Helen - Did you grow up in Chicago?

2:08 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Can i have clues on these please?
ob5

2:08 pm

boreetos

hey cathy. here's a six:

up6- prefix for Down.

2:08 pm

helenkeller

yep toesock - did spend a couple of early adult years living in the country, but circustances brought me back here

2:08 pm

helenkeller

2:08 pm

joey

TSM - if you come, let me know, I have a spare bedroom!!

2:08 pm

hurshy

have you guys tried the new sudoku site?
the chat keeps flashing on the left side of my screen and it's very irritating. has it done that to anyone else?

2:09 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Helen, inside and the burbs of Chicago from before I could walk!

2:10 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Joey your such a sweetie! (((( ))))

2:10 pm

boreetos

no, I haven't tried it yet. and I haven't had any flashing either. sorry. :)

2:10 pm

helenkeller

hurshy - i tried it last night, no problems, but then again, there were only 2 other people there & no one was talking

2:10 pm

Cathyar

tks boreetos

2:10 pm

helenkeller

toe - which burb?

2:10 pm

Vicuna

ob5 -pl of ob4
od6 - means repulsive
ol4 - there are two, one is margarine, the other just has a different final vowel

2:11 pm

hurshy

sigh...

2:12 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Helen, heard of Bolingbrook?

2:13 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Vicuna! Thanks!!!

2:13 pm

Lupe613

Toe - home of the newest ikea!

2:14 pm

Vicuna

No prob, TSM!

2:14 pm

boreetos

Ikea!!!

2:14 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Lupe - YES! I went there yesterday... Was a maze!

2:14 pm

boreetos

any clues for the 8?

2:15 pm

ToeSockMonkey

I would have spent way too much if I didnt have people with he telling me NO! STOP THAT! lol

2:15 pm

Vicuna

al8 - compound word meaning place to buy beer

2:15 pm

Lupe613

I usually go to the one in Schaumburg - tried to go to the Bolingbrook one and got there just as the doors were locked!! Have not returned!

2:15 pm

ToeSockMonkey

al8 - alcohol + what you live in

2:16 pm

Lupe613

LOL - I'm the same way. So I wait to go when I actually have a few dollars to spend (which is rare these days)

2:16 pm

musicmom

Okay back for my last 8. I have 15 minutes before I have to take Hannah to Daisy Scouts.

2:16 pm

boreetos

ikea is sort of like an amusement park. Confusing layout, meaningless maps, expensive food, and you can get kicked out of both for "trying out" the beds.

2:17 pm

ToeSockMonkey

boreetos - is that a elephant made from cheese!? :D

2:17 pm

Vicuna

Two words per minute shouldn't be too hard, Musicmom!

2:17 pm

boreetos

thanks TSM! but for the record, that whole word is where I live.

2:17 pm

lola100

Hello! I'm back! : )

2:18 pm

musicmom

nope I'm pretty sure the ones I missed where obvious. i was just soooo sleepy.

2:18 pm

Lupe613

Hi Lola!

2:18 pm

boreetos

I dont think so, but that would exceedingly cool if it were. It's yellow paisley. Similar to one I had when I was a kid.

2:18 pm

boreetos

hi lola!

2:18 pm

lola100

Hey lupe! Hoe gaan dit met jou?? : )

2:19 pm

Vicuna

You have to go by "lo4/4" today, because you're in the grid.

2:19 pm

boreetos

it's true. Hi lo4/4.

2:19 pm

lola100

*whispers* boreetos, pregnant women see food in everything! ; )

2:19 pm

Lupe613

Feeling a little sick today Lola - you?

2:20 pm

lola100

I know! How cool! And right there along the top too! : )

2:20 pm

boreetos

lola, thanks for the tip. Cheese is good. I'm having pie for lunch today. :)

2:21 pm

lola100

Aww, poor lupe! But seriously now, how do you know what I'm saying?? You don't have a grandparent from Bloemfontein do you??

2:21 pm

lola100

what kind of pie?? : )

2:22 pm

krajcd55

Vicuna - I noticed the other day that you are from outside of Cleveland, that is where I am from. Where at in Ohio?

2:22 pm

ToeSockMonkey

I love a good pie!

2:22 pm

musicmom

Leaving again. hopefully brb. We have a lost pair of shoes.

2:22 pm

Lupe613

Nothing a sick day wouldn't cure! No, my grandparents are all from Mexico. Would you believe I an just a good guesser?

2:22 pm

boreetos

S'mores pie. Chocolate cream, graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream and marshmallows. It's delicious.

2:23 pm

ToeSockMonkey

I eat a cupcake and some crackers for lunch... then after 20 mins I also eat a cheese steak sandwitch hehehe

2:23 pm

Lupe613

Toe - LOL

2:23 pm

boreetos

:) I'd eat a big cheese elephant if I had one.

2:24 pm

Vicuna

krajcd, I grew up in Cleveland Hts. But I live outside of Boston now. Where are you?

2:24 pm

boreetos

Vic, I love Boston! Do you know of Dane Cook?

2:26 pm

krajcd55

I live in outside of Dallas, Texas now. I grew up in North Ridgeville and also lived on the West side of Cleveland.

2:26 pm

Vicuna

boreetos, is Dane Cook a person, place, or thing? (I guess that means the answer is "no.") I really like it here, too, except the driving and the price of housing.

2:26 pm

Lupe613

Love Boston!! Love Cambridge. I'm itching to go back!

2:26 pm

lola100

lupe, I am impressed! Are you okay then?

2:27 pm

Vicuna

Dallas must have been a bit of culture shock, then, I'd think! I lived in Oklahoma City for a few years, and that was a different world from NE Ohio!

2:27 pm

musicmom

Okay - shoe is found. mommy to the rescue once again.
Clues for the dh words?

2:27 pm

lola100

what is a graham cracker like? I've heard of them but never tasted one : )

2:28 pm

boreetos

Dane Cook is a person, a comedian specifically, funny guy. He's from Boston. I got to see him live last year, met him after the show and he signed my t-shirt. it was cool.

2:28 pm

helenkeller

sorry to drop out of that chat, phone call

2:28 pm

torgone

Hey fellow ex-Buckeyes! I'm from just down the road - Medina.

2:28 pm

Vicuna

the dh's are Hindu loincloths (end like spunkmeyer cookies or an old-fashioned brand of elevators)

2:29 pm

krajcd55

I remember when we first moved to Texas, everything was so bright and clean compared to Cleveland...always gloomy and dark and dirty. I love the weather here, but I can do without the hot summers. I do miss the snow, not the cold weather 9 months out of the year.

2:29 pm

chic

Indian words for loincloth men wear dh***

2:29 pm

musicmom

Hey Vic - where in NE Ohio? I'm in Albany (just outside of Athens.) Also just read in your bio you are a quilter. Me too.

2:29 pm

boreetos

wow! really? Never had a graham cracker?! Hmm. they were pretty much a staple when I grew up. Let's see, they... well... they kinda... um... they're good? It's hard to explain.

2:30 pm

musicmom

Thanks got them.

2:30 pm

lola100

boreetos, that doesn't help much, lol! Are they sweet or savoury?

2:30 pm

Lupe613

I'm fine - just been waking up with my throat on fire for about 4 days now and wish it would either go away, or come at me full force so I can knock it out my system. Thanks for asking. It's hard to come to work when I feel like crap first thing in the morning!

2:30 pm

krajcd55

Torgone - I have inlaws that live in Medina.

2:30 pm

Anj

...the cavalry is here : )

2:30 pm

Vicuna

Graham crackers are great! They're sweetish, but not too much, reasonably healthy for a tasty snack, great dipped in milk or spread with peanut butter, nutella, jam... We consume a lot of them at our house!

2:31 pm

chic

lola, graham crackers are sweet; used to make crust for cheesecake.....

2:31 pm

lola100

lupe, I've just recovered from something like that. Are you at work now?

2:31 pm

helenkeller

lola - i really like them, but they're hard to describe, somewhat sweet with a nice texture & good with milk

2:31 pm

musicmom

graham crackers are a sweet (sometimes cinnamon) flavored breakfast/dessert crackers. More like a cookie actually.

2:31 pm

Vicuna

musicmom, Cleveland Hts. And technically it's the piecing I really like. I always consider the actual quilting to be a chore!

2:32 pm

musicmom

Grahams are also an excellent way to use leftover cake frosting. We make sandwiches with it.

2:32 pm

Lupe613

Sure am lola...under two hours to go.

2:32 pm

boreetos

man, I am failing miserablly at describing what a graham cracker is like. They are like regular crackers, but a little softer, and they are a little sweet. They are a golden brown color, and segmented to easily snap into fourths.

2:32 pm

helenkeller

lol - a meeting of the graham cracker fan club!!!

2:32 pm

lola100

*lola swoons into the arms of her knight in shining armour*

2:32 pm

musicmom

I like both - piecing and quilting although for time sake I send some of my tops out for machine quilting.

2:32 pm

lola100

are they like digestive biscuits?

2:32 pm

boreetos

MusicMom, we used to do that too! My greatgrandma and I would always make frosting cookies with leftover frosting! that's awesome!

2:33 pm

torgone

Take it easy lola. Can't you see Anj is here?? jk
Hi Anj!!

2:33 pm

Vicuna

Yes, lola, a bit like that, but thinner and rectangular.

2:33 pm

Anj

Swoons? Are they like hives?? ; )

2:33 pm

chic

lola, not as dense more crumby,

2:33 pm

lola100

Aww, poor lupe! ((x)) Hope you feel better soon. Is the weather still sub-zero? If so that can't be helping : (

2:34 pm

Lupe613

Yes Lola - kind of like that.

2:34 pm

boreetos

what pray-tell are digestive biscuits?

2:34 pm

Anj

Hi Torgone : )

2:34 pm

musicmom

Okay. Now the other shoe is lost - JOY! I still have four left. Will be back after Girl Scouts and dinner.

2:34 pm

boreetos

so then you've never tasted the splendor that is the s'more?!

2:34 pm

boreetos

bye mm.

2:35 pm

lola100

boreetos, they are sort of like graham crackers ; )

2:35 pm

chic

lola, if you have a Safeway near you they probably carry them. Also excellent crust for creme pies

2:35 pm

Vicuna

long-delayed answer to boreetos: with all that Boston has to offer, with young kids I just don't get out much! (That's a euphemism for saying I haven't done anything cool for 3.5 years!)

2:35 pm

Lupe613

LOL lola...

2:36 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Now it's snack time and i am going to have an apple! Yum :) Hey Boreetos I want a cheese elephant too!

2:36 pm

boreetos

it is a delight! A camping activity most of the time, you take a stick and roast a marshmallow over the fire. THen you smash the roasted marshmallow between two graham crackers with a chuck of chocolate in the middle! They are awesome!

2:36 pm

ToeSockMonkey

20 words left to fiiiind! ah!

2:36 pm

renfield

hey anj...i did the 1st sudoku last night...only there was no one left....8(

2:37 pm

krajcd55

Actually graham crackers were created by a guy name Graham to control lust in the 1800's.

2:37 pm

boreetos

vic, that's cool, his humor isn't really for eveyone, it can be a little crude at times, but I enjoy it.

2:37 pm

lola100

chic, I did before Morrisons took them over! I'll look around though : )

boreetos, no s'mores here I'm afraid : ( ...you'll have to have an extra slice for me : )

2:37 pm

Anj

Hi Ren...I looked for the solution today, but the archive puzzle was a different one from the beast Dr G threw at us guinea pigs : )

2:38 pm

musicmom

Quick word about s'mores before I go to Girl scouts (famous for s'mores). You can now buy indoor s'more makers at Target or Walmart. They use a sterno burner and sit on the table. Easy and safe to use. We have one for those times when a campfire isn't possible.

2:38 pm

boreetos

i have to get back to work. I'll see you kids either later, or tomorrow! bye!

2:38 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Later beans ;) lol

2:39 pm

renfield

anj...that's a bummer...i didn't look at the archive...i looked at today's puzzle and thought about trying it after work.

2:40 pm

lola100

Anj, did you finish the soduko grid last night?

2:41 pm

torgone

lola - Yes they can. A 200 pound box of graham crackers dropped on the head = temporary lust relief.

2:42 pm

lola100

torgone, LOL! : D

2:42 pm

Vicuna

I suspect that a 200 lb box of graham crackers eaten would work, too. oog!

2:42 pm

LOL!!! : D

2:42 pm

renfield

lola that sudoku puzzle was a nightmare on elm street!!!!

2:43 pm

Anj

Ren , i finished todays in 25 mins or so...i'm not adept at them tho' : /

Lo, no, I gave up on yesterday's. There were only 10 logical numbers then the logic went dead and I was too tired to start mucking about with the potentials...

2:43 pm

Babbler

... cant' wait to try it when I get back....

*returns to grid and Coronation St*....

2:43 pm

krajcd55

LOL! Apparently it does! But back in the 1800's graham crackers were made with wheat and today's graham crackers are made with white flour. You can find the wheat graham crackers in a health food store.

2:44 pm

2:49 pm

renfield

lola...i can't remember phone numbers...i will try just because

2:49 pm

harpjane

It's not really a number puzzle. It's a logic puzzle. You could use any sort of symbol to do suduku. It wouldn't have to be numbers.

2:49 pm

hurshy

lola, that is how i feel, but with it being spring break, lots of free time, sudoku isn't a bad way to pass a little of it, i'm finding

2:50 pm

It's not so much about numbers as it is logic. You could use any set of nine symbols for the grid.

2:51 pm

bex777

have u finished the sudoku?

2:51 pm

Vicuna

The nice thing about numbers is that you can easily recognize which ones are missing. With an arbitrary set of 9 things, you'd have to check down a list every time.

2:52 pm

hurshy

animals! i'll stick with numbers.

5:16 pm

Deutsch

Thanks, Jera. I checked it out earlier. When I get a minute, I'll sign up. I already have a yahoo account. Can I use that one?

5:32 pm

Jera

I'm not very good at sudoku (never finished), but find it very relaxing to try... must be the triple magic!

Yes, your yahoo account is fine!

5:32 pm

Minski

Greetings All.

I'm having issues with the last TO word it is a TO5/12. I have the one above the city.

Thanks.

THere is something wrong with our tv set and my hubby has to work late tonight so I think I'll try out sodoku when I finish babble. I've never played before.

5:32 pm

Jera

Sorry I had to go supervise a homework project that involved cutting & pasting...

5:33 pm

Jera

to5 is like when you pay a fee to use a road... make it past tense & removed one of the doubled consonants...

5:34 pm

Minski

Jera,
I have that one. I need the last one please.
THanks.

7:18 pm

7:20 pm

Jacula

Hi Jen. I see you, like myself, have retreated from the flashing Sudokuh.

7:20 pm

JeeWhiz

american...means not much movement, lazy perhaps

7:21 pm

Jen

Oh Jac, I'm glad I wasn't the only one experiencing the seizure-indicing screen!

7:21 pm

Jen

oops, meant inducing.

7:21 pm

kissmyglass04

its fun i agree i couldnt move anywhere east of here, id only go west... arizona, cali, oregon, somewhere where i would never have to feel the freezing cold and blistering humidity, which we both know so well lol

7:22 pm

Jacula

Jen - I'm rubbish at number puzzles anyway but that flashing screen made me not even try.

7:22 pm

kissmyglass04

ah ha finally got it
ty ty ty

7:23 pm

Jacula

Anyone need any clues for the grid while I'm here?

7:24 pm

Jen

I love my east coast though... I actually couldn't do the west (except Colorado). Love how family friendly it is... children's museum, baseball, football (yes, I learned to like the Huskers), and the zoo! Ah the zoo!! It's 100% better than the National Zoo here in DC!!
Oh, can't forget Ameristar Casino! ;)

7:24 pm

7:28 pm

7:28 pm

hurshy

7:31 pm

Jen

Off to read my son a book before bedtime. See you guys tomorrow! :)

7:31 pm

Jacula

So, Jen. Have you finished the grid?

7:32 pm

Jacula

Ah! I see you have.

7:32 pm

Jen

babble grid yes, number crap, no. ;)

7:33 pm

Jacula

LOL. Enjoy your story, Jen. I used to love reading to my kids.

7:35 pm

Jen

He's brushing his teeth right now... I'm thinking a Pooh story tonight! :)

7:36 pm

Jacula

Oh well, I can't sleep right now due to stomach ache and back ache. If no one needs any clues for the grid I'll go back to sorting my computer files out. I'll pop back into here every now and then...

Jen - how about the balloon adventure for Pooh?

7:37 pm

Jen

He loves Pooh Invents a New Game (it's about Poohsticks), so I'll probably go with that one... haven't read it in about a month.

7:41 pm

Jacula

Okay, Jen. I remember the feeling. Mind you, you know it by heart now, surely?

7:48 pm

Jen

Bouncy or coffy, it's all the same at the bottom of the river, replied Eeyore gruffly.

8:05 pm

Jacula

an't dig the book out right now but REFRESH to see Eeeyore.:-)

8:07 pm

Yvo

anyone can help with the ob5/14 anthe 4/6 please

8:10 pm

Jacula

ob4 & pl. 5 - In West African folklore, a gigantic animal that steals into villages by night to kidnap girls on behalf of witches.

In some Caribbean cultures the word is used to refer to overpowering and extremely evil forms of witchcraft and sorcery. Bewitched objects, buried with the intent of causing harm, are sometimes called ob**.

8:11 pm

Jacula

If you have the other two ob4/6's then just change the last letter for the first vowel in vowel list, then pluralise the word.

8:14 pm

Yvo

Jacula my many thanks ,i might for the second time ever to finnish this one

8:15 pm

Jacula

Yvo - Glad to help. Ask whenever you need to.

8:17 pm

Jacula

I like to give the proper definitions of words where I can to start with because
a) It's good to learn new words.
b) A word is more likely to be remembered once its definition is known
and
c) You can often Google definitions to find the word! (LOL)

8:19 pm

Yvo

it was quite a message but would have never got it .

8:19 pm

Jacula

...Failing that, I give 'driving directions', for which I am very grateful from other Babblers, at times, myself.

8:20 pm

Yvo

the ho5/12 is giving me a problem

8:20 pm

Jacula

Need any more clues, Yvo? If so, just ask.

8:22 pm

Jacula

Ho 5/12 rhymes with what models have to have - po***. It's what a crane does or what sailors did with the mainsail.

8:23 pm

Yvo

thank you ,why couldnt i find that???

8:24 pm

Jacula

Because we all go word blind after a while of looking at the grid.

Any more?

8:25 pm

Yvo

all boxes a grey exept for the T

8:26 pm

Jacula

Let me guess... to6/21 or to5/12?

8:26 pm

Yvo

ti5/12 to4/4 and to5/12

8:28 pm

Jacula

to4/4 & pl. 5/12 - A lacquered or enameled metalware, usually gilded and elaborately painted.

Sounds like what a bell do or what you may have to pay to cross over a bridge.

8:29 pm

Jacula

ti5/12 relates to the ti4 of the sea. You may hear about ti*** waves devastating a beach or a seaside community.

8:30 pm

Jacula

(A tsunami is a gigantic ti*** wave.)

8:35 pm

Jacula

Have you got those, Yvo?

8:36 pm

Yvo

got all of the ti just short of the "to " i had the 2 you gave clues for

8:37 pm

Angelsong

hi all

8:37 pm

Onpaki

Hello Angel!

8:38 pm

Jacula

Hi Angel and Onpaki.

8:39 pm

Jacula

Yvo - to5/12 - sounds like and ro5 meaning to wake someone. But this one refers to what you might do to your hair to get aa messy look. Try that!

8:40 pm

Jacula

Forget the fact that my typing seems to have gone to pot! LOL.

8:43 pm

Jacula

to4/4 - currency of New Guinea, maybe? Foot digit + first vowel in vowel list.

8:43 pm

Yvo

one more T and ive done it thanks to you Jacula

8:44 pm

Jacula

The other to4/4 rhymes with Coca Cola.

8:44 pm

Yvo

got it im finnished it ,im one happy camper

8:45 pm

Yvo

thank you so much

8:45 pm

Jacula

You are very welcome, Yvo.

Yvo

8:47 pm

EvaNadine

8:48 pm

Jacula

The rest of the week he either eats it gratefully or pokes his nose in and disputes my way of doing things. LOL.

8:48 pm

Onpaki

Jac, a clue for to6/21 pls?

8:49 pm

Jacula

Goodnight, Yvo. Sweet, Babblefree dreams.

8:50 pm

Eva

al6/21 or di4/6 anyone?

8:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Hello to those Babblers who have chosen not to play with numbers!

8:51 pm

Jacula

to5/12 - it's been in the grid in past few days...

A fine-tempered sword or steel sword blade made in Spain.

Also, a city in Spain and a city in NW Ohio.

8:52 pm

Jacula

WOLFIE! ))))))))))))HUGS(((((((((((((( ( Oops! Sorry! Didn't mean to knock you and Seb over andf squash you both.:-(

8:52 pm

EvaNadine

GW -- i already played with numbers...heh

8:52 pm

J2

Begging for help with last three words:
al 8/50
al 6/21
od 6/24
Many thanks!!!!!!!

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

(((**Jac**))) -- you just got me -- Seb is in his bassinet :)

evan -- I am heading there after I finish here :)

8:54 pm

Jacula

al6/21 - a Christian Nubian kingdom or a saint, 'Sister of Saint Nunilo. Muslim father and a Christian mother, she was raised Christian. When her father died, her mother married another Muslim man who persecuted the girls, imprisoned them, and turned them over to die during the persecution of Abdur Rahman II.'

8:54 pm

Eva

J2, the al8 is an compound word-an old fashioned place to go and get a tankard

8:55 pm

Jacula

Are you, Wolfie? Oh bugger! Not another numbers person.

8:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- not a number person, a logic game person -- and I have been curious about Sudoku for awhile now --- just haven't wanted to pay to try it

8:56 pm

Onpaki

Oh, not familiar with either Spain or Ohio, but got it eventually. Tks ;)

8:57 pm

Jacula

di4/6 - What you have to go with Nachos. Cheese and chive, sour cream etc. Or, what ladies may have taken in the sea in Victorian times or did when they curtsied.

8:58 pm

Jacula

Yea, but, Wolfie, it's in all our UK papers for free every day and it's $14.90 or so if you want an icon on Jamie's site. LOL.

8:59 pm

J2

Thanks for the great hints Eva and Jacula!

Still need help on: od 6/24

8:59 pm

Eva

Thanks Jacula, for the di. Still working on the al.

8:59 pm

GreyWoulf

So I won't get an icon! My local paper finally started printing it a few weeks ago, but I don't have the time to work on it due to entertaining the little one :)

9:00 pm

Jacula

od6/24 - Arousing or meriting strong dislike, aversion, or intense displeasure. Sounds kind of very nasty or smelly.

9:02 pm

Eva

ho5/12?

9:02 pm

Eva

and the last to5/12?

9:03 pm

Jacula

Ho 5/12 rhymes with what models have to have - po***. It's what a crane does or what sailors did with the mainsail.

9:03 pm

Eva

found the ho

9:03 pm

J2

Jacula--huge thanks. I have finally finished!

9:04 pm

Jacula

Last to5/12 - plural of the to4 before it.

9:04 pm

Eva

sorry to make you repeat yoruself jacula! Just needed to look back in the log.

9:07 pm

Jacula

Eva - it's okay. I really don't mind when the log's slow and easy and I'm not on a word hunt. I also realise that not everyone has a fast broadband connection and some are even still on clunky dial-up connections.

9:08 pm

Jacula

By 'clunky' I mean the sort when the pc makes all sort of noises and you go away to make tea and toast while it is deciding whether or not to show you what you want to see.

9:08 pm

EvaNadine

missing one 6-letter word...
i have A6, L6, O6, T6, U6

9:09 pm

Jacula

dh6/24. Plural of the word before it.

9:10 pm

Jacula

(A loincloth worn by Hindu men in India.)

9:10 pm

EvaNadine

dang!
i knew that word and tried it a hundred times without the H!

9:11 pm

Jacula

Never mind, Evan, you've got it now.

9:11 pm

Onpaki

i'm not making any progress. i need a break. thanks for all your help :) hope to be back soon. ciao!

9:11 pm

Eva

Done!! Thanks for understanding Jacula. We are on one of those dial-ups. it looked as if broadband was going to be coming our way this spring, but now it turns out that we can't get the signal and until the park a repeater somewhere on a hill we have to keep what we have. It's not so bad. But sometimes when I'm not feeling so great it is a bit much to scroll through all the past logs. And I only had a few left to find. So I thought I'd be lazy and lean on those of you already done. Nice to have people you can rely on for leaning upon(-:

9:12 pm

Jacula

Later, Onpaki. Sometimes, taking a break from the grid works wonders for the eyesight.

9:14 pm

Eva

goodnight all.

9:15 pm

Any more clues needed?

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

le5?

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

I will need a couple more I am sure, Jac :)

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

So my last ones to find are al5/12, le5 and le6

9:30 pm

LeslieAnn

al 5/12 - al + a girl's toy, drop last L

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you monkey typing!

I am done!!

The scary thing is that there have only been about 45 posts since I logged in ;D

9:36 pm

LeslieAnn

want to share that le5?

9:36 pm

LeslieAnn

oh, and congrats :)

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

it's a real weird one -- no def -- let me think a sec

9:39 pm

EvaNadine

GW -- hows new-baby-life?

9:39 pm

Jacula

le5 & 6 (pl) are Hawaiian flowers.

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

pretty good -- he is still a bit fussy at night still, but overall, we are doing good --- And since they reassigned me to work in the office at work, life has stabilised a bit more

9:42 pm

Jacula

anagram of un-he/5 (to make well or better).

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

le + the ha4/5 except drop the last 2 letters and insert a u at the 4th position

9:43 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Wolfie, am I being too harsh with my clues again?

9:43 pm

EvaNadine

yay stability!
hehe

9:43 pm

LeslieAnn

haha ha 4/5 drop the last two letters. my kinda clue :)

9:46 pm

GreyWoulf

evan -- unfortunately with stability comes fewer hours -- being in the office has traditionally meant 2.5 hours of overtime every week (8-5 with a half hour break) -- the new plant manager has decided that we no longer have to do that :(

I may have to go back to Lenscrafters one night a week to make up for that decision :'(

9:47 pm

Jacula

You see, in the aftermath of the Miya/Lemon thing, I saw Hurshy being got at for her clues. I've never had a problem with her clues, nor with any of the folks who had a go about them, nor with her attitude. But that's just me.

And as for Miya and Lemon - I would say just get back here and get on with it, you two.

9:50 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, now I'm in a dilema: to find the last (more obscure) 38 words, or catch up on the doings of the Babble crew, as I've been out of the Babbleverse for a while...
hhmm, words, or people?
hmm

9:50 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, PEOPLE!

What's going on?

GW?

Miya & Lemon? (sounds like a trendy drink...)

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, and HI! everybody!

9:51 pm

LeslieAnn

hi jb

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- I am so over the whole Miya debacle and I never complain about clues that make me think unless I need 10 words in 5 minutes ;D

9:51 pm

Jacula

JBS -words first! There isn't much time left. \You can enquire about people along the way....
LOL.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey JB!

9:53 pm

JBsAnno

Leslie, Jac, GW, good to be back on the board.
And since I have to go to bed (tomorrow's the up before 5am day) very soon, I think I'll skip the oh-no-I've-got-10-minutes-for -30-words-rush so I won't have bad dreams!

9:53 pm

Jacula

JBS - you can either go back to the achives of about a week ago, re the Miya/Lemon thing or just carry on on here.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Right, JBO - what do you need to finish?

9:54 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, Jac! Rather than you guys reliving any nastiness or "good grief enough already" I was going to ask for time references.
BTW, bed sounds good right now, as I made the 2nd post on this board this morning - Sprite beat me!

9:56 pm

EvaNadine

ok, im zonked.
gnite babblers!!

Well, JBS, since Sprite still holds the No.1 position on Babble rankings I guess she's kinda entitled to the first post on the flip at times. LOL.

9:58 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm confused about this "debacle"... what day was it?

9:58 pm

JBsAnno

Bless you, Jac! You are just raring to go, and it's just 11pm here in Philadelphia - YAWN!

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

JB -- the easiest way to get caught up in the Miy/Lemon fiasco other than going back to see for yourself is to email me -- I can fill you in with the Reader's Digest version :)

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

LOL, Jac, you are right on. It's fun to sit here at the flip and try to get the first post, but I really regret it in the morning when the alarm goes off!

10:00 pm

Jacula

What I would like to know is how do I get up of 21 on rankings? Doo I have to wait for someone above me to either get sick of, get sick ot go on holiday for about 5 weeks? Can't see any other way of getting up from #21.

10:00 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, and how's MamaBear - is she well now? Did she get another job?
And has anyone ever heard back from SmeltzDog? I miss the ottoman jumping!

10:02 pm

mamabear

Hewo! Guess who beat the sudoku monster today??/ *mamabear looks around the room then points to self.... Who, ME?*

10:03 pm

JBsAnno

GW! Did you see on the news? John Cheney, Bball coach at Temple, just retired!

10:03 pm

Jacula

Can I just add here that it was me that first used the word 'debacle' for the M/L thing?

10:03 pm

10:04 pm

Jacula

Jac starts to worry now thatthat the word grid and the number grid might divide us all.:-(

10:05 pm

JBsAnno

Jac, I bow to your #21. Be not dismayed, you could be where I am.
Hmm, where am I, anyway? I haven't checked for a while!

10:05 pm

mamabear

Hi Leslie Ann, Jacula, pbr.... GW..... evanadine....
Not to worry, Jac..... Babble is my first love!!!!

10:06 pm

JBsAnno

pbr! Do you have your sippy cup?

10:06 pm

Jacula

10:15 pm

LeslieAnn

10:16 pm

JBsAnno

smaller, I'm older than you, and I refuse to wear a bib! But all my coffee cups have lids, because I tend to spill things OR someone at work thinks it's funny to throw chocolate kisses into my open cups.

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

Shorty - try past tense of to 4/4.

10:16 pm

LeslieAnn

to 5/12's - rhymes with another word for home, and for whom the bell ***** - make it past tense, one L

10:17 pm

shorty

I have that one I need the other one Please

10:17 pm

JBsAnno

LA - think "rhymes with spotty" but use the 3rd vowel on the end, stick the h in where indicated, and of course, only one t.

Great clue, huh? Told y'all it's time for bed!

10:17 pm

krajcd55

to 5/12 - rhymes with mouse

10:18 pm

LeslieAnn

inquiring minds.

10:23 pm

JBsAnno

Minski, it's a word mystery authors use to describe a suspicious person's movement: "as MamaBear prepared more mamosas in the pantry, she saw the butler si--- up to her out of the corner of her eye"
Oh, yes, and that happened on a dark and stormy night...

10:24 pm

LeslieAnn

why would she be preparing mimosas in the pantry?

10:24 pm

mamabear

Am I in a story again??? And here I am just floating in the cuzzi minding my own businesss...... LOL

LeslieAnn,
speaking of google, did you know there's a "preferences" button to the right of the search thingy. and if you click on it you can change the language to like pig latin and elmer fudd?

10:30 pm

LeslieAnn

10:31 pm

LeslieAnn

i have played with that before... also, if you do the google moon thing, where they have pics of the moon, and you zoom in enough time it turns into a picture of cheese

10:31 pm

LeslieAnn

that must make searching take a lot longer with all those stutters

10:32 pm

Ladies, and gents! the time has come when I must retire. I bid you a fond goodnight, so good to chat with you all after being off for a few weeks. Thanks for all your good wishes, warm welcome, and fun with words in the 'cuzzi!
Please make sure someone shuts off the lights, and locks the gate so there aren't any debacles floating in it for the butler to find in the morning! <snickers towards MamaBear>
