Thank you all! Have a good puzzle! Campari - check the link on the right.

nice, lickety!
12:14 am
Lady_Campari

thanks for the tip, and thanks for the clues. obviously, i'm brand new here and don't know my way around
12:16 am
licketySplitAUS

Lady_Campari - It's best to go pro for only $9.95 for life - That way you get completion stats as you play on each letter of the grid. I'm not registered - but my wife is. I don't play - just help with clues for when you get stuck.
12:16 am
knutmeg

Don't worry Lady, everyone is wonderfully helpful and nice, and before long you'll be addicted like the rest of us. :-)
12:16 am
stidmama

it's okay, Lady-C I was away for a couple days, and feel really out of touch (no wi-fi in the mountains...). Another resource to check is Angelsong's Page, linked just above Lickety's... she has oodles of great links to sites that can help you find words, and all the info from this site on how to play the game.
12:17 am
Lady_Campari

i see. that's pretty cheap. i only discovered this website yesterday, so i'm still checking it out, but at this price, i may as well go pro.

I did the same, had to start over with it. But it's finished now.

have fun with the grid, I only popped into say morning ... back to sudoku.

Ah - some familiar faces, so to speak. There must be something wrong with me - I woke up at 7am!

Bright and early on this beautiful day... sounds like it couldn't be better with you ;)

I am too tired to Babble anymore. Must leave and finish tomorrow. But I know I am leaving it in good hands. Nite all.

All the time I see you people posting 'teehee' here... and now it isn't valid???

It won't take yipee either - I guess some comic-book words are valider than others...
1:40 am

It's not fair, is it?
1:41 am
amandacath

It certainly isn't - if I were a comic book word, I think I'd sue!
1:44 am

Ho7/32 fits right into the easter theme, though.
1:46 am

I thought so too, Sprite. The grids have been seasonal lately - we've had easter and hare in the last couple of days

knut, I am recycling the easter eggs in tonights dessert!

What did you have??
2:10 am
amandacath

Ah - just glanced at your bio, thought it might be feeding time! Where's Mundelein? I was born in ILL, but the name doesn't ring a bell...
2:11 am
knutmeg

strawberry shortcake was my dessert... my grandpa makes a nummy cup of coffee, though, hence the caffeine.
2:12 am
knutmeg

Mundelein is pretty much due north of Chicago, right near LIbertyville and Vernon Hills.
2:14 am

Aha, that's why - my turf's the Kewanne area

getting harrassed by a kitten who doesn't think one packet of IAMS is enough for her breakfast!
3:49 am
Haz1558

The persistence of the feline for food is legendary!

yes! I keep telling her she'll be sick if she eats more, but that seems to be an acceptable situation if it means more food
3:54 am

Sorry - was called to the phone there. Poor husband is trying to deal with a computer problem at work and was asking me for advice. Me?!
3:54 am
Atalante

men are ever hopeful!

Haz1558

Hopeful and misguided. Apparently the solution to this particular computer freeze-up is to turn the whole system off, except that he can't even find the plug!

alright so far :) and good morning to you and mr merrrrrrp!

what's you cat's name and what's s/he up to?
5:54 am

she's called Silverclaw, or Sily for short, and she's running round like a mad thing, annoying me, annoying the dog and annoying my husband!!!

I'll definitely check it out, but have to wait because if I leave now I'll probably never get back.
5:57 am
Atalante

the site was like that with me yesterday ... but yes, check it out, very cute pics - and yes, she's only a kit - 8 months old
5:58 am
Eva

It will undoubtedly provoke rampant kitten lust in me. I've been wanting one for year, but Merp doesn't play nice with the other kids in the sandbox.

why do my kids keep interfering with my babble time??? ;) :)

Because you haven't got them properly trained.

LOL you're right haz!
6:26 am

What ages are the children?
6:27 am
GingerUK

well... I have 6! oldest 2 are 23 and 21 and both independent, I home I have an 18 year old and then... 8, 6 and 5! 5 daughters and finally a son. Sorry you aked LOL?
6:28 am
GingerUK

we won't even mention my 2 grand daughters (my oldest daughters children!)!
6:28 am
Haz1558

Goodness, that's a real spread of ages. Do you find yourself raising the younger ones differently to the way you did with the older ones?
6:30 am
GingerUK

yes Haz, I do. I don't do it deliberately but you look back and realise you are doing.
6:32 am
Haz1558

I'm constantly amazed at how different children are now - they seem to be treated as mini-adults by a lot of parents and given a lot more say in decision making than I ever was.
6:32 am
bex777

woohoo! 100 to go:)
6:33 am
GingerUK

well, I am not quite the modern parent yet, I much prefer some of the older values. Mind you, my kids have special need.... that means the way they are brought up is a little different anyway.
6:36 am
hannah lou

hiya im bck but ive finshed babble lol
6:36 am
Haz1558

I admit that I was strict with my children, reflecting the way that I was brought up. Going around Tesco's when there are lots of young families around can be 'trying'. One young mother was asking permission of her four year old for everything that was going into the trolley. I felt like yelling 'Just put the food in the trolley and get on with it!'
6:37 am

Atalante

wheee! for once I feel young!
6:42 am
Eva

Atalante-where are you going to be in the US? It is the heavenly realm in Vermont right now. Can't think of any place I'd rather be.

Have to run out for a few minutes, which means I have to feed Merp first, because given his OCD nature, if I don't he will be bereft for the entire day. Of course once I sign out I may never be able to return given the gremlins. Think I'll look at silverkitty first though(-: Don't tell Merp I'm being unfaithful.

I love Yosemite - went there last year, but nearly the whole valley was underwater because there had just been huge floods! So this time, I'm hoping to see a bit more. But really, its a visiting friends trip rather than a sightseeing trip, so I'll probably just be hanging out rather than running round seeing things

It's like quiz shows - once they give the answer, you realise you knew it. On some quiz shows more than others, admittedly.

I am rolling along, but when I get stumped, I'm left totally adrift. Haz, is the vowel in SN 4/5 the first vowel?
7:24 am
Haz1558

sn4/5 - yes, use the first vowel to get a popular card game
7:25 am

Thank You Haz!!!!!

Jaianniah-Your grandbaby is adorable. How do you keep from just eating her up. I'm sure you get your fair share of smoochies huh?
7:30 am
Merk

Haz, I'm trying. I'm new to this and have to work not to develop bad habits. I could also use a good dictionary. The SN that stymied me is a hoot because it's the easiest of the bunch, literally. The only one with which I'm familiar. The others are all Greek to me. I'd love to know what they mean. A few sound Welsh.
7:32 am
Haz1558

The sn4/8 and 5 - Scottish for white stuff that falls from the sky (not bird poo)
7:34 am
Haz1558

The sn6 - means to prune or lop (not sure of its origin). If you google some of the words you will get definitions.
7:40 am
jaianniah

Haz, I didn't get the sn clues- I must not be looking in the right direction....
7:42 am
Haz1558

Sorry - Merk had been asking about some of the meanings of the words - sn4/8 is a Scottish variation in spelling for what falls from the sky in winter, and the sn 5/18 is the plural.
7:45 am
Haz1558

sn6/21 - first three letters as before, then the definite article. sn7 is the plural, sn 5 removes the last vowel.
7:47 am
jaianniah

All I can think of to get 8 is snew but it doesn't work.....
7:48 am
Haz1558

Use a different vowel - the s you are using is the far right middle row - go down and you will find it.
7:48 am

Hey, Charm, I live in Katrina Land! It's 83.5 out right now!
8:01 am

Baby's foot had to have a pre-cancerous growth removed. "Baby" is almost 4 and nearly impossible to keep still - whenever I'm not looking, he sneaks off the bed/chair/sofa. When I hear an uneven limping, I know he's loose. It's been fun. BUt he's a good kid - no complaints or whining about this.

brb phone
8:06 am
Charm

thanks, faeriekae. As I said, he's so accustomed to doctors and hospitals and surgery (this is his 4th), that he just takes it all in stride. (we get more upset than he does about seeing the sutures and wounds and scars). I think he thinks this is 'normal' and everyone goes through it. Sometimes - sometimes - it's just as well he's too young to understand.
8:07 am
faeriekae

my furnace just kicked on. See how cold it is here.
Charm - that is too bad for him. But he sounds like a really good kid and such a trooper.
8:08 am
faeriekae

It is better that he is so young and doesn't understand I agree. Hopefully he want remember any of it when he gets older.
8:09 am
faeriekae

ok I have on a sweat shirt, jeans and knee socks and I'm wraped in a blanket sitting here playing....this is so unfair.
8:10 am
Charm

I agree, faeriekae.
by the way, I found that pe5 - the type of pasta.
Now I'm off to walk the dog, feed and bathe the 'baby,' and maybe find a quiet moment to sneak off for a bath myself!
Good luck with the grid. bbl

actually dinner with my family *was* a casserole. Not a very good one, either. However my Grandma made up for it with a *very* delicious fruit salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert! Num! My husband and I had a lunch of ham and the works, so I ended up getting my traditional Easter dinner anyway. Yay!

9:54 am

9:54 am
faeriekae

ty everyone :)
9:54 am
stidmama

Lickety is a cool dude in Australia who has written a program that looks through the grid and returns the beginning two letters and letter count for each word possible in the grid. His page is linked to in the "Friends of Babble" box on the right of the page.
9:55 am
jbp

ah, gotcha. just checking.
9:55 am
Merk

Yes, I use his list to search. I'd never finish without it. I'm not as gifted in other languages as Haz and you definitely need to be with these. But you definitely get addicted to it. And the people are great. Bye again. ttyl

Liv is looking like she's gonna have her grandma's strawberry blond hair, and her blue-grey eyes are a tribute to me mum, and she has our nose (a very dominant gene)
10:11 am
stidmama

ooh noses -- I have my dad's nose (which is like his mother's) -- it's okay, but...
10:12 am
knutmeg

amusingly the nose gets cuter with each generation
10:15 am
knutmeg

we6/36 = rhymes with te6/24... in fact the same exact letters except for the first...
10:17 am
knutmeg

we6/36 means really little, a cute baby-talk sort of slang
10:20 am

10:33 am

And you didn't answer me Faerie. 8(
12:07 pm

but there are two kinds of rankings, yes? the side columns you lose points when you can't finish a grid, but the middle one you just add points every time you play.
12:07 pm

Really? based on percentages for completions? I don't care about all that, just the points and the fact it breaks the bordeom.

stats don't work unless you're pro. Today's grid has 173 words, you are done when you reach that, also you can keep track by using Lickety's Babble Page, the link is to the right with the Friends of Babble
7:32 pm

and believe me, you don't *need* pro to play, but the icons are fun, the one time fee helps Dr. God (all bow to the wonderful supplier of our addiction), and the stats are useful. But Lickety's page will work nicely, too.

that's easy to answer -- spellings are only just being standardized -- and still change periodically. And of course, the words we use change over time. When these words were used, people just sounded them out and used the letters they thought worked.

Just one more to go.

Angelsong - thanks for clue but I still don't get it. Tried all combinations and nothing works. Guess I'll just have to give up. My eyes are compalining. Maybe tomorow.

Okay, admittedly I'm not used to Liv sleeping in her own room, but the upstairs neighbors are making enough racket that I can't figure out what noises are which on the monitors. sigh...

No Way- she's waiting for the flip so she can finish the puzzle before she goes to bed!!!!! The stinker! (No jealousy here.....)
11:51 pm
stidmama

jaianniah -- i have been curious about the derivation of your name. Never heard it before (or saw it)...
11:52 pm
stidmama

i'm always afraid i'll mistype it... ;-)
11:53 pm

baby awake now (speaking of stinkers)

late afternoon nap for me, so not sleepy yet.
11:53 pm
jaianniah

It was given to me by my Spirit Guide.....I know, that sounds crazy, but it's true...I found out later it means"bearing the Word of God"....So I use it now
11:53 pm
stidmama

baby awake so soon?!?

that's just not fair...
11:54 pm
MAH

Thanks Angelsong, circe and stidmamma. I've finished but I can't see how that we 5/9 fits in the grid. Maybe I'm just too tired. Night everyone.
11:54 pm
stidmama

It is a lovely name with a beautiful meaning. I have many friends with spirit guides... have yet to meet my own, though.

Thank You!

I'm trying to get her used to sleeping in *her* room (as opposed to the living room where the play pen is), which would be a lot easier if my upstairs neighbors weren't elephants
11:56 pm
stidmama

MAH, good night -- you gave it super effort.
11:57 pm
jaianniah

It's the rule- all upstairs neighbors are elephants....
11:57 pm
stidmama

hmmm... seems that maybe she needs some "white noise" to mask the sudden sounds of apartment living? I know it always worked for me!
11:59 pm
Angelsong

upstairs neighbors are clumsy elephants.
11:59 pm
knutmeg

got a fan going, plus a nature sound track. I mention elephants right? They really are remarkably loud. :-)
11:59 pm
stidmama

i don't really know about making kids sleep in their own rooms so early -- we kept ours with us the first year or so -- when the baby was born, we got the "big" brother a little bed and he was so thrilled that he didn't notice he wasn't in the room anymore!
12:00 am
stidmama

elephants, indeed! Maybe they could do with some elephant-sized anti-grav boots?
