I have a brown thumb, Ginger, but I was hoping my daughter's presence would help... perhaps not...

5:01 am

mrpresident

Wow Jera, you are more Australian than we are!!

5:02 am

mrpresident

I am doing the traditional 3 hour drive north with everyone else on the east coast of Australia!!

5:02 am

Jera

I have a good excuse with my Girl Scouts... got some new Girls that missed earning their Australia back in January...

5:03 am

Jera

Oops, Australia patch...

5:04 am

mrpresident

Hubby was a scout and used to go to the Anzac services every year.

How do you earn an Australia patch...??

5:04 am

Jera

Where are you MrP, if you don't mind my asking?

5:05 am

mrpresident

I am in Sydney... so 3 hours north will take me to Taree in NSW

5:06 am

Jera

Oh wow, Sydney... cool!

5:09 am

mrpresident

I would think the best way to earn the Australia patch would be to dig a loo, have a barbie with 10 of ya mates, shear a sheep and be back in time for dinner to tell a few yarns!

5:11 am

Jera

LOL... more like learn about the flag, map, money & pick a holiday to celabrate. I also designed a booklet that explains Waltzing Matilda for a slang intro.

5:12 am

mrpresident

Waltzing matilda! Well, that is an oldie!!

5:14 am

Jera

I love the classics... fell in love with Australia at the 1982 World's Fair & begged my mom to buy me that record. It's a good intro to Aussie slang that bypasses the drinking, etc. Gotta be careful with the tender little girls...

5:15 am

KatieMcG

Ok got 89 with no list or clues (which is really good for me) but realised I'm still shattered so going to bed to watch daytime TV (the joys of a day off!!) bbl :)

5:16 am

Jera

Have a good relax, Katie!

5:25 am

Arisha

good afternoon all

5:26 am

Jera

G'day, Arisha!

5:28 am

Eva

I'm feeling utterly stupid this morning! Can anyone help me to begin to see the long compound ma's and cu's? There's not many choices of what they can begin with but I'm completely stumped. Think maybe I'll bite the cat for a change.

5:30 am

mrpresident

((Think maybe I'll bite the cat for a change))

Wooooooooowwwwww!! ! My lucky day!!

5:31 am

Eva

Would never bite you mrp!

5:31 am

Jera

Eva, I'd love to help you if I could but I tend to do the smaller words first. The longest one I have is ha7...

5:31 am

mrpresident

cu8 & 9 chop with scissors + aw4/10 then plural

5:31 am

Eva

it's the thought that counts jera. I have that ha too and thought, "ooooh, this is going to be an easy one" and then slammed to a halt.

5:32 am

mrpresident

ma8 & 9 -the 5th month + garden creep (we4/9) then plural

5:32 am

Eva

thanks mrp! It's a term I've never heard before. What is it?

5:32 am

Jera

I know the feeling well, Eva!

5:33 am

Jera

It's a kind of suit/coat jacket, isn't it?

5:33 am

Eva

I could swear I tried those ma's before! Must have mistyped them.

5:34 am

Eva

okay, mrp to the rescue. I feel better now. But Merp left the room....think he knew what I was planning?

5:34 am

Eva

Any clues for the hu7?

5:35 am

mrpresident

do I look like a native Europe & Asia botanist to you??

5:36 am

mrpresident

hu7 extend of the hu5 for both of them - what a rabbit might live in

5:36 am

Eva

no, you look like a melon cat. Was that question in response to my asking the meaning of the word or are you having some sort of fit? Actually, the one I hadn't heard before was the cu one.

5:37 am

movieman

Eva - there's 2 hu7's.....
Think about what a pet rabbit lives in (or Starsky's partner).....

5:37 am

Eva

You are saving my sanity this morning mrp.

5:38 am

mrpresident

Glad to hear it!!

5:38 am

Eva

and movieman. My excuse is the dreary weather...brain melt down. But if it were sunny I'd have another one.

5:39 am

Eva

listening to a wonderful Aaron Copeland piece on the radio.

5:40 am

cliffopa

good day. i know its dreary eva, but we really needed this rain. we were having brush fires all over the place in my area.

5:41 am

mrpresident

am watching Nadal (hunka hunka Spanish Lurv) slap Federer (get a hair-cut) around the court!!

5:41 am

Eva

morning cliff! Oh look, we have a row of cats! Yes,I know we need it and really, its so ungratefull to complain - this spring has been the most spectacular I've ever experienced. Just feeling grinchy this morning.

5:42 am

Eva

movieman, I think you need to change your species and get in line(-:

5:43 am

Eva

are there any eq or seq words to look for?

5:44 am

cliffopa

i see several pigs in the log - that must be today's theme. well, my cat Zoey is actually a pig when it comes to food so she is still appropriate for the day :)

5:44 am

movieman

Eva - I thought today was pig day.....

5:44 am

Eva

I think it is pig day, but the cats can't be contained

5:45 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Everyone, I'm back! Got some time to try and finish this one ..... ummm ... better read the log for clues! Arrgghhh!

5:46 am

movieman

But if that's what you want, Eva......

5:46 am

movieman

Greetings, LS.....

5:47 am

cliffopa

excellent cat movieman! now we really have a feline takeover.

5:48 am

Eva

aw movieman....you dressed specially just for me? I'm honored. Who is the ravishing kitty?

5:48 am

Eva

in the cats vs pigs playoffs the cats are winning hands down

5:49 am

licketySplitAUS

Hiya Movieman - I hope you are having a great a night as I am!

5:49 am

movieman

It's my cat, Arnie.....

He shares his birthday with the Governator, so we all thought it was quite an apt name.....

5:50 am

Eva

looks much more evolved than the governor.

5:50 am

movieman

Not bad actually, LS......

I've managed to get down to 61 words with barely any help at all......

5:50 am

cliffopa

he looks like an arnie.

5:51 am

Eva

of course the reason I'm nattering on about cats is because I've been stuck at 130 words for a loooong time.

5:51 am

Eva

so we're at about the same place. seems to be where the wall is.

5:53 am

movieman

Just out of curiosity, (quite apt, with all the cats), can any of you get hold of any3-D glasses, 'cos I've managed to get hold of a 3-D image of a cat.....

5:54 am

Eva

haven't had a pair of those since about 1950. Oooh, just had an e breakthrough.

5:56 am

Jera

Ye gods, what the heck happened whilst I was deep in the grid? Everyone arrived & brought their cats?!

5:56 am

Eva

MEEEEEOWWWWW

5:56 am

cliffopa

5:57 am

Eva

5:57 am

Jera

6:00 am

Jera

7:05 am

cliffopa

7:06 am

hurshy

ok but i still find them icky, personally. and sauerkraut - has to be the most disgusting food ever invented, i don't know why anyone would do that to themselves...

7:07 am

hurshy

and how is everyone today? :)

7:08 am

cliffopa

i actually cannot eat anything made with or from cabbage. but i like the brats (as we call them here)

7:08 am

7:09 am

Aloyisius

7:33 am

faeriekae

Jera - please don't let Capone melt my face. Get him.

7:33 am

Does anyone know if MrP is in the line of the storm that is headed her way? I sure hope not.

7:42 am

Jera

She did not mention it, faerie... she did say she was driving north for ANZAC Day, though... did not sound distressed...

7:43 am

Jera

Just read the part about talking off-line... sure thing, faeriekae! I guess you mean off-Babble, since I have no idea where you are IRL...

7:43 am

faeriekae

thats good. I just saw it on the weather channel and was just wondering if she was near the coast.

7:44 am

faeriekae

Jera - I have yahoo IM and MSN IM do you have either?

7:44 am

Jera

She's in Sydney, so yeah... might be why she's going...

7:44 am

capone

yahoo IM FTW!

7:44 am

Jera

Yes, you're on my yahoo list!

7:45 am

faeriekae

MrP just IM'd and she apparently had no idea there is a storm on the way.

7:45 am

Jera

Good thing you watch the Weather Channel, faerie! :>

7:46 am

faeriekae

Jera - call me on yahoo please. At your convience.

7:46 am

Jera

Hmmmm... I thought I just did...

7:47 am

Jera

Is it the Goodly Spellbook, faerie?

7:48 am

rumplestiltskin

Morning All! We didn't get anything bad out of the storm watch last night. Halleluliah!!

I don't know the meaning of a single one of the sc words... weird...

8:09 am

movieman

Sorry, SCD, yes, I'm still here.....

Re: the other 2 top e's.....

One is like the other e4 but change the last letter, and the other is an ed6......

8:09 am

hurshy

and how many sc words are there for you not to know the meaning of? *hurshy asks innocently*

8:10 am

Jera

5 hurshy... all have same 3rd letter, as well...

8:10 am

hurshy

ah, thanks CHS, did you get the 4 i clued you? if i can just find that last E, i'll be done with all the vowels (including sometimes!)

8:11 am

Good morning everybody............

hey vi, you don't happen to have my last e, do you? :) :) :)

8:13 am

abe79

good morning...

8:15 am

Vicuna

Nope. I'm still missing one from the top and two from the right.

8:15 am

Jera

Morning, abe!

Love your icon, Vicuna!

8:15 am

faeriekae

{{Vicuna}} goodmorning :)

8:15 am

Jera

Morning, bbnaz!

*catching up on chat*

8:16 am

Jera

On to the pr's!!

8:16 am

hurshy

from the top there's current, nickname for edward? and pl. from the right there are two pairs plus ec4/6

8:17 am

Vicuna

Do you know the book my icon is from, Jera? It's a cute one!

8:18 am

hurshy

jera - are they all pr's or were there some ps's or pt's?

8:18 am

capone

Faerie, you look?

8:19 am

Jera

Well, all the pr's are pr's, hurshy... ;>

8:19 am

hurshy

well yes but i meant all the p's, you tease you

8:19 am

Jera

Yes, Vicuna... we love the whole series... never gets old...

8:19 am

Vicuna

I think I have all the same e's as you, hurshy. Do you have the one from the top that could be a nickname for Edward, but is not the same as "Ed----'s in the space-time continuum" (It's really a kind of taro)

8:19 am

faeriekae

looking Capone

8:20 am

hurshy

umm, i don't know vi - but by nickname for edward i meant not the one that has to do with currents but another - steve urkel used to call eddie winslow this on family matters... :/

8:21 am

Vicuna

Okay, must be the same one!

8:21 am

hurshy

then you're not missing one from the top anymore?

8:22 am

hurshy

jeeeeeera, any ps's or pt's?? and if so how many?

8:22 am

movieman

SCD - Do you have all the e's yet?

8:22 am

Vicuna

Yes, I am still missing an alleged e6 from the top.

8:22 am

hurshy

plural vi, plural

no CHS still missing one from the right

8:22 am

scribble's mom

Please help..... I need help with " es,6 "
I'm lost
Thanks

8:23 am

movieman

Vicuna - the e6 from the top is the plural of the e4 (not the whirlpool)......

8:23 am

Jera

ed6 = plural of ed4

8:23 am

ARB

The "alleged" e 6 is a plural of the word before it.

8:23 am

hurshy

5 points to silentbutdeadly (scribble's mom, right?)!

8:23 am

Vicuna

Oh, those pesky plurals that don't simply take an s...
Thanks, folks.

8:24 am

Jera

es6 = "The periodic state of sexual excitement in the female of most mammals, excluding humans, that immediately precedes ovulation and during which the female is most receptive to mating; heat."

8:24 am

Vicuna

Yup, just found it. Usually spelled oe-.

8:25 am

faeriekae

Capone - your really could melt my face if you wanted to I'll be nice to you from now on. I promise
*biting finge nails*
thanks for not sending me mice :)

haha jera your plot was foiled by ARB

8:28 am

ARB

These are my initials -- I took the name for babbleboggle before I realized how unesthetic it is for babbling

8:28 am

capone

lol, I always do Faerie. Thats what I get for trying to babble and WoW at the same time. Man, just wait til May!

8:28 am

movieman

Just changed my icon again.....

8:29 am

ExWren

Hi y'all, I did check in earlier, but have been far too bury trying to do this grid so far

8:29 am

faeriekae

LOL Movieman :)

th-th-that's much bbbeetter, movieman! :)

8:29 am

faeriekae

Hi Wren :)

8:30 am

hurshy

greetings, o revered exwren

8:30 am

ARB

The last pr is an Israeli term -- the name for a coin, I think the word may be Biblical. The word preceeding it is a different spelling, minus the last unpronounced letter

8:31 am

ExWren

Oh hurshy - OTT or what?

8:31 am

hurshy

what is OTT?

8:32 am

hurshy

oh DEAR we are all using a word very much!

8:32 am

Jera

Well, I knew 4 of the pr's...

8:33 am

Jera

On to the ma's...

8:33 am

hurshy

ok i'm up to 8 p's

8:34 am

Jera

2 more to go, hurshy! You can do it!

8:34 am

ARB

Did I help or only confuse?

8:34 am

hurshy

i know i can - but i'm running out of ideas :)

8:34 am

Vicuna

Well, you helped me, ARB! thanks!

8:35 am

bbnaz

gosh Hurshy you are still da gal I aspire to imitate!

8:35 am

hurshy

helped, ARB, i got those 2, thanks!

8:35 am

movieman

You confused ME, ARB....

How many letters are in that pr word......

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

hi gang! : )

8:35 am

hurshy

sprite, sprite is who you should desire to imitate.

8:35 am

musicmom

Okay - I'm back - copies are made, daisy tunic has petals and i'm ready to play for 2 hours until Bible Study.

8:35 am

ARB

The last one is 6/25 and preceeding it is pr 5/14

8:36 am

hurshy

exwren - i am dying of curiosty, OTT??? (is one of them troglodites (sp?)?)

8:36 am

ch1212

hi Temple Owl!

8:37 am

Jera

Achooo!

ma7 & 8 are making my allergies flare up...

8:37 am

Jera

Awwww

*fondly remembers Daisy Tunic*

8:37 am

Vicuna

Wait a minute ARB, my last one that I though came from your clue is pr6/27. Am I confused or are you?

8:37 am

hurshy

oh jera! *mwah* you finished my m's for me!

8:38 am

Jera

:>

8:38 am

hurshy

just a typo vi - no way for a 6/25 to exist, of course

8:38 am

ARB

Of course you're right -- I just can't type

8:38 am

Jera

10 words to go!

8:38 am

musicmom

Yeah Jera - those tunics are too darn cute. Sarah was never a Daisy so Hannah's is particularly precious to me.

8:38 am

Vicuna

Oh yeah. Duh. thanks. I was just so hopeful that that was going to be a clue for another one...

8:39 am

hurshy

22 left for me - but hmmm, it's almost time for class :(

8:39 am

Jera

I just wish Sprite hadn't had such a crappy Daisy Leader... she only earned 4 petals. If I hadn't been pregnant I would have led...

8:39 am

ARB

What are Daisies?

8:40 am

ch1212

I was just wondering the same thing

8:40 am

hurshy

pwetty fwowers

8:40 am

hurshy

phooey, i go get dressed now

8:40 am

Jera

Sorry, secret Girl Scout words... Daisies are the littles Girl Scouts, 5 year olds/Kindergarteners... sooooo cute!

8:40 am

ARB

Bethides that

8:41 am

bbnaz

what girls are before they become brownies no?

8:41 am

musicmom

Hannah didn't even get a Daisy leader until the middle of March. She has the center and 6 petals. The leader is actually a Brownie leader that felt sorry for Hannah and another little girl who didn't have a troop. My juniors and all my SU duties keep me from taking on Juniors. We have been doing petals at home to get them caught up.

8:41 am

ch1212

Ahhhh... I was a Blue Bird

8:41 am

hurshy

seems to me they should be batter before they are brownies, but whatev :)

8:42 am

musicmom

LOL Hurshy.. Jera have you heard talk that they are thinking about renaming the levels?

8:42 am

ch1212

LOL hurshy

8:42 am

Vicuna

Good one, hursh. Cause if there's one thing cuter than a bunch of little pre-girl-scouts, it's chocolate!

8:42 am

Jera

Yikes, no... not more change? I still haven't recovered from Studio2B...

8:43 am

musicmom

Me either --- The leaders in our SU threw a fit when the field director mentioned that.

8:44 am

musicmom

My girls are opting for not doing Studio 2B they want to do the regular Cadette program instead.

8:44 am

Jera

My only consolation is that it was Girl-designed. I can handle the Girls remaking Scouting... they are the future, after all...

8:44 am

Jera

My Sprite wants to do both, of course, LOL

8:45 am

musicmom

Yes but my girls don't like the charms -- they want heavy vests<G>

8:45 am

musicmom

Some of the 2B programs are very good as far as content.

8:45 am

bbnaz

my daughters made it to juniors and brownies respectively............then they did other things. and i was on of the leaders for the older one. guess i wasn't so hot.

8:46 am

Jera

I haven't had the nerve to check it out... I'm trusting the organization to not go off the deep end. Of course, I still long for the Worlds to Explore divisions...

8:46 am

musicmom

bbnaz- that isn't necessarily true (that you weren't good) girls just have different interests. I don't think scouting is for everyone. --- shhhhh don't let my field director hear that.

8:47 am

musicmom

Yep. We'll just have to wait and see and provide the best we can for our girls on the local level.

8:47 am

scribble's mom

pr6,27 = http://worldcoingallery.com/co untries/Israel.html

8:47 am

Jera

Scouting is not for everyone... but every girl should have the opportunity... so many enriching things no matter what the girls' interests...

8:49 am

MikeyInBerlin

my my; do i detect a 'piggy' theme in here today? :-)

8:49 am

musicmom

Oh absolutely Jera!!!! But I don't get upset when a girl has been in for two or three years and then decides to focus on her gymnastics or volleybal or whatever and doesn't have the time or inclination for troop/SU activities anymore.

8:50 am

faeriekae

Hi Mikey :)

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

hi mikey.

hi, faeriekae!

8:51 am

Hi Mikey

8:51 am

faeriekae

Hi ya TO :)

8:51 am

ch1212

Morning Mikey -- yes, pigs are the theme

8:51 am

Jera

The older they get the harder it is to schedule stuff. That's why I think Scouting should sponser more things... sports... career exploration, etc.

8:51 am

Jera

8:52 am

movieman

Guten Nachmittag, Mikey......

8:52 am

BGL

Musicmom~ I thought you were "busy" today :)

8:52 am

musicmom

Yep it is the reason my almost cadettes only meet together once a month but then register for Girl Zone activities on their own to supplement.

8:53 am

musicmom

BGL --- shhhhhh I'm not here. I went to the po and the library and delivered summer curricula flyers this morning. I have two hours before Lori gets here for Bible Study.

8:53 am

MikeyInBerlin

hi faeriekae, Temple Owl, musicmom, ch1212, Jera and movieman!!! :-D *gasps for breath*

8:53 am

musicmom

BGL Im still going to need your help later because once Lori gets here I won't get back to the grid until 9 pm or so.

8:53 am

BGL

Okay, I'll let it slide this time... How's the grid?

8:54 am

faeriekae

Good job Mikey :)

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

meeting - bbl! have fun!

8:54 am

musicmom

I'm getting the feeling it isn't as friendly as yesterday. I'm only at 38 words. I need to quit chatting and focus.

8:54 am

faeriekae

later TO

8:54 am

ch1212

Musicmom, I was wondering what you were doing here on a Monday. For a moment I was afraid Babble had tempted you away from Higher studies :)

8:55 am

MikeyInBerlin

ja; thanks, faeriekae! *gasp* *pant* :-P

8:56 am

Jera

We had a great time at the local State Park Saturday, even though it rained & thunderstormed all day... didn't see any eagles, though!

8:56 am

musicmom

Nope my Bible Study buddy is working midnights now. So, we dont' get started until about noon because she sleeps for a few hours before coming over. I should be studying Greek but hey - all the words in the grid are greek to me.

8:56 am

faeriekae

LOL

8:56 am

musicmom

Fun Jera! Sorry you didn't see any eagles.

8:56 am

faeriekae

cu 7/44 please and thank you :)

8:56 am

Jera

I want to learn Greek after Latiin... I learned the Greek alphabet on my own as a kid (yes, I was weird)

8:57 am

ch1212

cu 7/44 = different spelling of the one before

8:57 am

BGL

I like Hebrew much better than Greek. I remembered just enough Latin to make Greek confusing.

8:57 am

faeriekae

ch1212- ty :)

8:58 am

musicmom

Greek is very interesting but it is tough.

8:58 am

ch1212

LOL musicmom. My beloved knows how to read and write in Greek, Aramaic, Latin, and Hebrew, but he only speaks English, German, Spanish and Italian. He's very talented linguistically, but he had to learn in order to study theology in Rome.

8:58 am

musicmom

Our problem with Greek is that we stopped for a few months. Now we are having to go back and relearn a lot of things. Hate declensions!

8:59 am

BGL

What resources ar eyou using for Greek? I have two Greek/English Bibles (one is interlinear with the NRSV and NIV translations), my Greek Bible dictioanry and my cheat sheet from the Greek final. I also somewhere have my primer... do you want to borrow any of these?

8:59 am

musicmom

We are learning it to be able to read the original language of the NT --- but also just to challenge ourselves and do something academic. If we ever get through Greek we intend to do Hebrew.

9:00 am

Jera

Done with the h's... 5 c's & I'm done!

9:00 am

ch1212

Well, I'm deeply impressed you are making the effort, and feeling the drive to discern for yourself. I really respect that!

9:00 am

faeriekae

go Jera go....

9:01 am

ch1212

I had an adult class once where our teacher informed us that we better all learn Greek because that is what was spoken in Heaven! She was joking about Corinthians and "My dear Theopoli" (I think that's what it was)

9:01 am

Ouwachita

DONE>>>>anyoe need a clue??

9:02 am

musicmom

Thanks ch. I find I study much better if I am self-driven. Found out last week that one of my student's father is a Greek prof at OU. He has offered to help/tutor us if we need it.

9:02 am

faeriekae

Congrats OUW !!!!

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

9:03 am

bbnaz

OUW, congratulations. I am partially bald from trying to make words appear. Unfortunately I must leave to take the girlies to school, then ride, then dentist but I will be back to try and finish the last 70 words......

again WOOT for you!

9:04 am

faeriekae

cu 7/60 please.

9:04 am

musicmom

BGL - We are using Dr. Mounce's Learning Biblical Greek. it is a college text with a workbook, flashcards and lectures on DVD. We both have interlinear Greek/NIV Bibles. Lori also has a Greek dictionary that we use. Thanks for the offer.

9:05 am

musicmom

Faerie- I don't have it.

9:05 am

ch1212

cu 7/60 - a tuxedo is sometimes called this. 2 words

9:05 am

BGL

There's a good website, I just have to remember what it is. I used it a couple of weeks ago when I was preaching on "karthos"

9:05 am

Ouwachita

9:08 am

alpha, beta, gamma, delta,
epsilon, zeta, eta...

9:09 am

Jacula

Hi folks. Just finished typing in the words I found on paper this morning. Am more than pleased to find I only have 13 words left to get. Pity 'mwah' isn't a word. Someone should tell those Hollywood types though.:-)

9:10 am

ch1212

morning, jacs - lol

9:10 am

Jera

Cute icon, Jacula... when did you arrive?

9:10 am

faeriekae

ch it is a wild cat in the jungle.

9:11 am

Jacula

ch6/27 - fastest land animal, spotty feline with its normal double vowel halved.

9:11 am

ch1212

thanks faeriekae - thought I tried that, but I think I wanted to put the 'a' someplace else.

9:11 am

Jera

I have 15 more minutes before I have to go start homeschool with my littlie... does anyone need help?

9:11 am

BGL

Jera ~ never heard that one before. But I learned to sing the GK alphabet in my sorority in undergrad :) I can sing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island, though...

9:12 am

Jacula

Jera - Got here about 15 mins or so ago.

Icon is 'Piggin' Pets' from the Piggin' collection of ornaments. I have a cupboard full of them.

9:12 am

Jera

Of course you haven't BGL... I made it up when I was 10... :>

9:13 am

BGL

Well, that would explain it... :)

9:13 am

Jera

Jacula... I must have been submerged in the c's... good morning to you!

9:13 am

ch1212

OMG -- BGL, you are right! Amazing Grace CAN be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island! Darnit, now I've got that running through my mind. LOL!

9:13 am

abe79

Jera, do you have a clue for ch 6/33? congrats on finishing too!

9:14 am

BGL

Sorry....

9:14 am

Jera

Isn't that slightly sacriligious? I know some people who would be quite offended *rolls eyes*

9:14 am

faeriekae

ch1212 - ch 6/33 uses the 5pt tile. Alt. spelling for paper that you write on to pay for something.

9:15 am

Jacula

Jera - You didn't miss me. I only just posted on the log. I meant I signed in to type my words in about 15 mins ago.:)

9:15 am

Jera

Think fancy payment (not cash)

9:15 am

faeriekae

Sorry that clue was for ABE not ch1212.

9:15 am

ch1212

thanks faerie, but it was abe who asked... I think the 'ch' looked confusing. :)

9:15 am

Jera

Gotcha, Jacula... I wander off & miss alot... wanted you to feel welcome...

9:16 am

abe79

thanks faeriekae and jera

9:16 am

BGL

I'm sure there would be some offended, but I beleive the words are the important part, not the tune... besides I am a youth and children's pastor, so anything I can do to make the "old" new again they like...

9:16 am

Babbler

hehe, Jera..... snap! :D

9:16 am

Jacula

Thanks due to ch1212 for the tuxedo clue. I was trying to find more ways to greet a monarch!

9:17 am

Jera

Good idea, BGL... it's very important to teach kids to carry on traditions!

9:17 am

ch1212

Good point, BGL :)
you're welcome, Jacula -- more payback to you!

9:17 am

Jera

*looks confused @ Babbler*

9:18 am

Jacula

Oops, I used a word. Oops! I've done it again!

9:18 am

BGL

Of course last week two of my high schoolers were trying to rewrite "Friends in Low PLaces" (Garth Brooks) to be "I've got a friend in high places.." it was hysterical!

9:18 am

Babbler

*whispers to Jera - pigs with wings* : )

9:19 am

Jera

Oh... thanks, Babbler! (I wasn't sure if the snap was good or bad, LOL)

9:21 am

Babbler

Jac, I've got a date fixed with Artlady for this babble convention in London. Fri 16th June. Will you be joining us? :D:D:D

9:26 am

Jera

Well, I gotta scoot... his majesty awaits... we're practicing writing his mundane name for school in the fall, such fun although a trifle confusing for him...

9:27 am

faeriekae

Later Jera and Thank you once again :)

9:28 am

KatieMcG

Sha - are you still there?

9:28 am

Babbler

bye Jera : )

hi faerie! ((( hugs ))), hi ch1212, musicmom, everybody

: D

9:28 am

Jacula

Babbler - Sorry for delay, I was off on Google showing my daughter Coronation St's Richard Fleeshman - he's a good-looking lad, the right age for her and sings like a young Elton John. She's not biting though.LOL.

9:29 am

Jacula

'Bye Jera.

9:29 am

faeriekae

{{{Babbler}}} Hi!!! All is well here :)

9:30 am

Babbler

Jac - I totally agree about Richard Fleeshman. He's growing up to be a really good looking lad, isn't he?

9:30 am

Jacula

Babbler - re the London convention. Sadly not on this occasion, it's too close to Monsters of Rock festival (going with my daughter) and holiday in Crete (going with Paul). Funds just won't run to more.

9:30 am

Babbler

I knew it would be, Faerie! I popped in to lurk not long ago and you seemed happy, so I knew all was ok. :D

9:32 am

Jacula

Babbler, re Mr. Fleeshman, well, if I were 30 years' younger...:DDDD

9:32 am

faeriekae

Babbler - awwww Thank You. Yes everything is back to "normal" and my doggie Max can now rest. He is so much more relaxed :)

9:32 am

Babbler

awww, :'( sorry to hear that. Maybe we'll have another convention sometime in the future. : )

9:33 am

Babbler

Jac - re Richard Fleeshman.... if I were younger too.... LOL :D:D:D

9:35 am

Jacula

Just checked my profile and I see that Dr_God's added that extra year on that I reached on Saturday.:(

Hi Bunny. It's a nice grid today.

Hmmm, my house has stayed amazingly clean through lack of Babble...

10:05 am

Bye Bunny :)

*Also blows dust off desk.*

10:06 am

Good "time zone appropriate" greeting to all LOL

Not to wory. I've just read your biom with geatb interes, having been active in lusical theatre much of my life--mostly as director but also as singer. I CAN'T DANCE much I'm afraid--particumarly in my old age. You can "google" me for more info. LOL

Hi Stid! Yup, Sheldon looks like everyone's idea of a mad musician. He's a dear dear son-in-law. . .as are the other three. I'm amazed at how notorious I am. Actually, the googled website says nothing (at least on the first five pages, then I gave up) about my exploits in musical theatre. Ah well. Mikey strill reminds me iof the "Jesus" in my productionof GODSPELL at U.Vic some 30 years ago

yu5/16 not the plural clue, please?

the tu6 -- I thought it meant what you sit on :) alt. spelling, but it means a black liquid used in lithography, and is a German word.

12:45 pm

ch1212

OR... simpler clue would be tu + first 3 letters of where kids go to learn + 2nd vowel

12:45 pm

rycaut

and a plural form tu 7 as well...

My boyfriend and I are going on a date in 1 hour I'm going to have to leave in 10 min.

At 4:09 you said you were 22. Somehow at 4:37 you are now 23. Either you just celebrated a birthday or dementia is setting in early.

You're welcome, Kenny. But I think saviours are prone to rough treatment, so I'd better stick to being a humble clue-giver. :)

Fair enough, Humble Clue-Giver...I'm looking for the last two HU's I am missing...HU5/14 and HU6/24. I have the HU5/14 that begins tunes by The Lettermen and John Mellencamp.

evanonut stop I'm telling the TRUTH! Who believes me

4:52 pm

Vicuna

Kenny, all you need to do is switch around the last letters of the 5/14 you have. and pl.

4:52 pm

MikeyInBerlin

my, how funny; now i could be wrong, but i think the entrance requirements for Harvard generally include intelligence at least sufficient enough to be cognizant of one's own age?

I dunno about Harvard Cassie but I said 28 for a few months after my birthday...of course that had more to do with denial...~shrugs~

4:53 pm

Cassie995

Why would I be not telling the truth

4:53 pm

marymary

Sorry, K 'C'!

4:54 pm

Oh, marymary, thank you!

4:54 pm

Cassie995

My B-Day is Dec. 31

4:54 pm

MikeyInBerlin

actually Cassie995, who even cares? it really doesn't matter to me one bit what age you might be, especially since i have no idea who you even are.....and even then, it wouldn't.....it's just a number; we all have to be some age or another, and every age, at some point! :-P

4:54 pm

Vicuna

Why yes, you, may, Kenny. And you're welcome again.

4:54 pm

marymary

Just realized that was NOT the hu you asked for, KC. My bad!

4:55 pm

Kenny Chuck

Please, marymary, thanks for taking the time!

4:55 pm

boreetos

mikey brings in a good point. Age is just a number.

4:55 pm

MikeyInBerlin

and why would you not be telling the truth? well, maybe 'cos one usually doesn't forget/confuse and within such a short span of time, contradict their own age?

4:55 pm

MikeyInBerlin

*yawns and returns to the grid for a while*

4:56 pm

Cassie995

Does anyone know FredandKate they are on here sometimes. I was talking to them yesterday. They were so weird! I don't like them!

marymary

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Not F & K!!!!
Acccck!

4:59 pm

Vicuna

ta5/18 would definitely not make you sleep better as it is apparently a lash used by Scottish schoolmasters. Be that as it may, just add a vowel to your previous ta4/8, and then pluralize the result for the ta6

4:59 pm

hurshy

(kenny, if you are curious about why you got the points, read my bio) :)

5:00 pm

Dr. Nut - I would concur with your conclusion. Very suspicious.

5:01 pm

evanonut

oh yes mary, beware, walk lightly, carry big stick

5:01 pm

Kenny Chuck

Vi, I can not repay you for your kindness and clarity. Hurshy, how do I read your bio...and what S5's do you need?

5:01 pm

hurshy

nut nut do i get a share of that? i think my question clinched the diagnosis

5:01 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol; marymary, i'm sure they're one, two, three (or more) and the same, somehow! ;-)

5:11 pm

evanonut

5:16 pm

renfield

5:38 pm

blueskies29

the batter is a little different and you "funnel" it (in a squiggle pattern) into a deep fryer....it's an art to make a good one that doesn't fall apart when you flip it in the grease

5:38 pm

hurshy

smaller, you just take some dough and you throw it in a vat of fat, that's how it's different from a waffle

5:38 pm

renfield

#1,5, & 6 say have some for us angela!!!!

5:38 pm

chic

Oh hurshy do so at your earliest convenience. My recipe makes a really large pan of it.

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

smaller: the batter is poured into hot oil in a cast iron skillet in a circular/coil pattern.
fired dough, is what my grandpa made - actually fried pizza dough topped with a sprinling of granulated sugar

5:40 pm

renfield

hey nut...you're a little purple!

5:41 pm

grant

Clue for te6/27??

7:02 pm

smaller

Jera,
so what does aquarius mean? all i know is that I am one.

7:02 pm

hurshy

feeling oats can be lustful, but can also mean simply lively, peppy, energetic, full of spirit

7:02 pm

evanonut

means we should be storing you with the slappy fish smaller - get in the tank now like a good girl

7:02 pm

hurshy

7:04 pm

Jera

I dunno, I don't really do zodiac, just know that I'm a Capricorn, which tend to be serious (LOL) & stubborn (hence my finishing as many grids as I do). Leos tend to be show-offy. Libras = balance/calming/peacemakers. Aries = stubborn, controversial. That's about all I know.

7:04 pm

smaller

bye mm!

7:04 pm

Jera

Bye, musicmom!

7:13 pm

cliffopa

nut - here is your horrorscope for today: A fresh new look will help you unleash some of the ideas you've been keeping to yourself. Mix business with pleasure. You will be recognized for your talent if you aren't too shy or secretive to let others know what you can do.

7:13 pm

shutterbug

Hello everyone, bye bye scribble.

7:14 pm

cliffopa

like you could be shy ;)

7:14 pm

hurshy

LOL

7:14 pm

Vicuna

Oops, sorry for misspelling you, missyem. Trying to get through the grid, or trying to get through to people how to conjugate their verbs in correct 16th century style?

7:14 pm

evanonut

funny cliffy: i have no ideas
i didn't play with my co workers
i was supposed to get a review but didn't

7:15 pm

smithchick

Bye scribble, hi shutterbug...Thanks for the ma7/8 clues!

7:15 pm

cliffopa

for all the capricorns: Focus on work, money and getting ahead. You will interest people who are looking for someone with your kind of talent so let your ideas be known. Romance is in a high cycle.

can you feel the love?

7:15 pm

hurshy

but nut - you started the (funny) psychiatrist business, and the pig is your fresh new look - it all came true!!!

7:15 pm

shutterbug

Hi Smithchick, is your last name Smith? Mine is too!

7:16 pm

evanonut

hursh, so you imply that babble is actually my work, and work is just for play? interesting theory

7:16 pm

evanonut

and hursh, that's only really funny with a good troll to pick on

7:16 pm

hurshy

theory? thought that was well documented fact.

7:16 pm

cliffopa

and now for mine (very appropo) Take a closer look at your future. If you've been pondering over the past, you probably need a wakeup call. Set goals that will help you move forward. Change can be a good thing so let the past go.

i need the wake up call.

7:17 pm

smithchick

Yep, it is! Went from Billingsley to Smith...

7:17 pm

evanonut

*ring* - phone for cliffy - WAKE UP!

7:17 pm

mich_pdx

V- the grid, and no worries on the spelling -- it's actually a joke "hiphop" name from my old work. My first name starts with M, but I'm not a Melissa

7:18 pm

hurshy

still nut, it all came true TODAY, it doesn't have to apply tomorrow

7:18 pm

shutterbug

Hmm... I never heard of Billingsley. I'm only 13, so i've always been a Smith.

7:18 pm

evanonut

7:19 pm

Vicuna

Okay, missyem. Word!

7:19 pm

hurshy

7:19 pm

evanonut

7:20 pm

smithchick

Well, there are a whole lot less Billingsley's than there are Smith's!

7:29 pm

evanonut

7:30 pm

evanonut

indeed!

7:30 pm

hurshy

set it up, nut, set it up

7:30 pm

periwinkle

Okay, I was born on Feb 19 which according to books I have looked at makes me a Pisces. I am actually on the cusp Pisces/Aquarius. When I was younger I liked to think I was Aquarius cause I liked the song. I have qualities of both signs. Is that enough information, Jera?

7:40 pm

periwinkle

thanks Vicuna, another new word for me

7:41 pm

hurshy

two-point vowel, ha! that could apply to more than one though.

7:48 pm

smithchick

7:48 pm

Vicuna

Pretty darn creepy, hursh. When is monster day, anyway?

7:52 pm

Kayze

Hi Everybody!
I am new to this game. Any advise?

7:52 pm

Well presumably liesure is when they aren't strangling so many people with their bare hands. (Just shooting them in the face. Hmmm, you're right. no difference.)

7:52 pm

Vicuna

YW, smithchick! :)

7:53 pm

periwinkle

Kayze, get out while you still can, this is a very addicting game. But the people are very nice, although are a little bit crazy.

Kayze

Peri,
It can't be worse than teaching a group of 5th graders all day. This is relaxing.

7:54 pm

Vicuna

A LITTLE bit crazy? Hurshy, you aren't trying hard enough!

7:54 pm

tndaisy1960

6th grade is worse...trust me

7:54 pm

periwinkle

hurshy, not to worry, wasn't referring to anyone in particular and I meant crazy in a fun way

7:54 pm

7:55 pm

smithchick

HI abe and shirin...and a belated hi to go with my ty to daisy and kayze...

7:55 pm

hurshy

shirin, it depends how many words, and whether you use the list when you slow down. when i used to use the list, i could do about 100 words per hour, or more. but now it can take me a lot longer.

7:56 pm

abe79

hi smithchick

7:56 pm

hurshy

(peri - hurshy in extremely silly mood today, just so you know)

7:56 pm

periwinkle

7:56 pm

shirin

7:57 pm

periwinkle

hurshy, no problem

7:57 pm

hurshy

well it IS harder if your screen is all dark, shirin. yes that would be quite challenging.

7:58 pm

abe79

7:58 pm

hurshy

abe if you have wu5 it rhymes with that

7:58 pm

shirin

7:59 pm

smithchick

Bye, periwinkle!!!

8:00 pm

hurshy

a lass, a lack, and whoa is me

8:01 pm

hurshy

wow you could really read innuendo into that if you wanted to

8:01 pm

Vicuna

Any particular reason for the whoa?

8:01 pm

hurshy

well vi (and mind you this only occurred to me after i wrote it), a lass has a lack which (not being a lesbian) would make me say whoa, stop...

8:02 pm

shirin

you are very too funny hurshy. Is that babe as your icon?

8:02 pm

hurshy

no it is a pig flying

8:03 pm

Vicuna

Very too funny, indeed!

8:03 pm

shirin

babe, the flying pig?

8:03 pm

hurshy

you know what, i also just noticed - i think there is a black square over my pig's private parts! how very funny!!!

8:04 pm

shirin

where did you ever find this pig?

8:04 pm

hurshy

oh, just googled pig flying or something

8:04 pm

Vicuna

Hurshy, you are as modest as you are talented!

8:05 pm

hurshy

i didn't notice it before, just seemed like shadow, but if you look more carefully...

8:06 pm

hurshy

yes, no pulling a nut for me, vi! lol

8:06 pm

hurshy

oh dear if people don't know nut that could sound VERY crass

8:07 pm

smithchick

Well, I'm leaving you to your fun, hurshy... Don't enjoy yourself too much!!!
Bye all!

8:07 pm

Vicuna

The interpretation varies depending on the sex of your pig.

8:08 pm

hurshy

oh, bye smithchick. i will cease and desist all fun post haste.

8:09 pm

smithchick

Well now don't deny yourself all fun...

8:09 pm

Vicuna

Bye, Smith (nee Billingsley)!

8:09 pm

hurshy

if i have already enjoyed myself too much, i must hope my function dips below the x-axis so that the integral and return to zero.

8:09 pm

hurshy

CAN, not AND.

8:10 pm

Kayze

Thanks for your advice. I have 72 words today. Must go and grade papers.

8:10 pm

hurshy

see that was very serious. i can be serious.

8:10 pm

Vicuna

I don't think you want your functions dipping too low, or we'll have to put you on life-support.

8:11 pm

Vicuna

Kayze, 72 is very respectable for an early attempt.
Goodbye!

8:11 pm

hurshy

and then i will become a vegetable, and then i will get eaten because what else is there for the jews to eat today?

8:11 pm

hurshy

oh NO there go my sillies again

8:12 pm

Vicuna

Certainly it is dangerous to be a vegetable with all these pigs around.

8:12 pm

shirin

you are very witty, hursy. I must go make some dinner for the little guy so hope to "see" you all soon.

8:12 pm

hurshy

bye shirin! :)

8:13 pm

hurshy

Vicuna

Goodbye, shirin.

8:19 pm

hurshy

my first clue was for the last pair

8:19 pm

joey

pr 6 is the pr plus the mormon state. pr 5, drop the last letter

8:19 pm

mab

Oh, I shouldn't have corrected my grammar. sorry. Ok, thanks hurshy. I look that clue up. We're obviously not talking shekels here.

8:19 pm

Vicuna

first pr5/16 - a Malasian boat, I understand. Ends with possible spelling of what an owl says. and pl
last pr5 - Israeli coin, p + start of a veggie that ends in bega. and alt spelling for 6

8:19 pm

mich_pdx

furthermore, the oldest sister on Charmed (Shannon Doherty's role) + goodbye = pr5 plus a silent letter for pr6

8:20 pm

hurshy

and now, in the words of james whitcomb riley,
WHAT delightful hosts are theyâ€”
Life and Love! [hurshy substitution: Babblers]
Lingeringly I turn away,
This late hour, yet glad enough
They have not withheld from me
Their high hospitality.
So, with face lit with delight
And all gratitude, I stay
Yet to press their hands and say,
"Thanks.â€”So fine a time! Good night."

8:21 pm

Vicuna

So you're going gentle into that good night, then, hurshy?

8:21 pm

8:27 pm

Vicuna

Congrats, missyem!

8:28 pm

joey

congrats missyem

8:29 pm

Vicuna

If you sing "goodnight ladies," the rest of us can harmonize "pick a little talk a little" in the background.

8:29 pm

mich_pdx

thanks! I agree w/ Jera that being a capricorn means thinking you have to finish the grid, because, well, you can & it's the right thing to do! or some such feeling of obligation / internal coersion :)

8:31 pm

blueskies29

and a taurus just keeps working at a grid 'cause we're stubborn that way!

8:33 pm

hetty

Hurshy--when my dad used to siung it to me it was "Goodnight, sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow/Goodnight sweetheart, till we meet tomorrow/
Dreams enfold you, in them dear I'll hold you, Good night, sweetheart, Goodnight". And so I sing it to you, and to Stiddmatt, and to all my friends the bubbly babblers--sweet dreams

8:34 pm

helenkeller

and a libra works to finish the grid because she needs to make up for someone who doesn't finish it

8:34 pm

mab

Darn. The log is moving so quickly that I missed hurshy's encore. I'll bet it was heart breakingly beeeeuutiful.

8:36 pm

mab

Lovely, hetty. Good night.

8:36 pm

mich_pdx

I've got sun in Capr. w/ Libra rising, makes sense I feel internally driven, lol. Thought Libra was a diplomat, not a do-er per se

8:37 pm

mich_pdx

and on that note, I too will be you all "adieu"

8:38 pm

mab

Night missyem, sweet dreams.
