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

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

1:56 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

Dianne - brilliant - I couldn't think of a clue
3:03 am
Dianne

YW
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

i have one E & one F.
3:14 am
macadam

Would you like a list of letter/word scores?

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

easy today, kaynanda, I hardly had to look at a2z.
5:21 am

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?
5:35 am

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

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 ;)

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.

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

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

Ok Peeps I gotta go clean see ya all later I STILL have 7 words LOL
9:01 am

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

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

9:07 am

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!

9:38 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

10:08 am
faeriekae

10:43 am

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.

11:46 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

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

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.

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

Love Boston!! Love Cambridge. I'm itching to go back!
2:26 pm
lola100

lupe, I am impressed! Are you okay then?

what is a graham cracker like? I've heard of them but never tasted one : )
2:28 pm

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.

the dh's are Hindu loincloths (end like spunkmeyer cookies or an old-fashioned brand of elevators)
2:29 pm

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.

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

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!

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!

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

lola - i really like them, but they're hard to describe, somewhat sweet with a nice texture & good with milk
2:31 pm

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.

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!)

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

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.

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! ;)

babble grid yes, number crap, no. ;)
7:33 pm

LOL. Enjoy your story, Jen. I used to love reading to my kids.
7:35 pm

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

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

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

Hello Angel!
8:38 pm

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.

8:50 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.:-(

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

(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.

9:40 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

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

Okay, PEOPLE!

What's going on?

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!

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

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

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"

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?

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>
Good night!

Can anyone confirm to me that ALTIUS is a word . I think it is a word, (used in the Olympics) ... it means higher or to aim higher....

It is in the Grid but not in the dictionary which the Grid uses.

ALTIUS can also be found in a Botanical dictionary.

if you see the reference dictionary the Grid uses, for the AL6 is says "No entry found for al------"
