I survived my first day at work. And my first day missing the flip. *sniff* Livia was awesome, she and Seth went to bed around 7pm, which is great for Seth. Seh is still asleep, but I'm going to hang around for a bit, I suspect she'll be up soon enough.

Morning dear gang :)
I should have been on my way to my study class right now, but my daughter fell ill :( Poor little thing, bad pain in the abdomen. Will go see the doctor with her in about an hour. Life is the magic thing that always manages to overrule your planning ;)

2:22 am

mrpresident

Evening/morning Sprite! all the best with the doc!

2:23 am

At least we know for sure it cannot be her appendix.

Hihi cat... well done Marc!

Cat9x

Hi Sprite! :)

2:35 am

sprite

Welcome in the growing circle of addicts, Cat :)

Cat9x

Thank you! I have been playing for weeks, and LOVE it!

2:38 am

sprite

Provide someone with a noble steed again should be Re7, with the one(s) doing it making Re8 and 9, plus another 8 for the 3rd person singular... too bad enable doesn't agree! :(

Good to have you with us, Cat, I got hooked here years ago and never left, lol.

Haz1558

Good morning Jean and everyone else. Lots of words today!

3:16 am

jean1953

morning Haz good grid today hope I can get loads lol

3:17 am

Haz1558

It looks okay so far, but a long way to go!

3:19 am

FMitch

Morning all,

Hi Haz did you have a good evening?

Why did I start this grid it is too big :((

3:19 am

jean1953

it certainly does only on here for a short time will have to come back later hopefully find some more

3:20 am

Haz1558

Yes thanks FMitch - really relaxing day yesterday. I'll have to catch up today. Pity the grid is so big, but once you start.....

3:21 am

FMitch

Am trying a different appreoach today, got all the q's and m's done and will clear the s's then must stop as have tons to do too.:)

3:22 am

Haz1558

I always start with good intentions of being organised, but it soon turns into a free for all! Hope the new method works well.

3:23 am

ExWren

I'm not going to start Haz, much too big today, I'll keep looking in from time to time to see how you are all getting on

3:23 am

FMitch

only doing it that way to clear some of the bigger volumes out the way and leave nice stuff for later (well thats the theory anyway.)

3:24 am

ExWren

Well, best of British FMitch

3:25 am

FMitch

Morning ExWren :)

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ex-Wren! Not even tempted by the re s in two places?

3:26 am

Haz1558

Three places!

3:26 am

ExWren

Did you read in yesterdays log, that Dr_God is updating the site this week?

3:26 am

Haz1558

No - are there any details?

3:26 am

FMitch

Oh - what did he say ExW?

3:29 am

ExWren

I don't know exactly what is going to happen, I think he is changing the chat log, similar to that in Iron S...... (that game I can't do or pronounce)

3:30 am

Haz1558

You know the numbers thing better than me, FMItch - how does the chat log differ?

3:30 am

ExWren

I've just had a quick look at the list, now I know I'm not playing, millions of re's and qu's

3:31 am

Haz1558

Ah, but you were tempted for a minute weren't you?

3:32 am

FMitch

I remember him saying something about that when sudoku first came along, :(
The chat log in sudoku would be where the word list is in babble. Not sure how that's going to work.

3:33 am

Haz1558

I'm glad I'm not the one having to figure it out! We'll just have to wait and see what he presents us with.

3:35 am

ExWren

Right - he called it a new and improved babble.
He's bringing over the chatterbox from the S game;
no need to flip between stats and word list;
and FIREWORKS!!

3:35 am

Haz1558

I see manufacturers of fruit juice are represented today. (qu8/60)

3:36 am

Haz1558

Well, the fireworks will be welcome!

3:41 am

jean1953

right off to do some jobs bbl happy babbling everyone

3:46 am

Haz1558

Bye jean - was called away to the phone there so missed you going!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Have to go and do something more useful. Will be back later.

4:09 am

jo_jo

does anyone have a clue for the un9/78?

4:11 am

trishtrash

un + qu7/40

4:13 am

sprite

Well, the little girl has a huuuuuge inflammation of the bladder. Not nice, but treatable and not too serious. She's got medicines now, so I hope she will be feeling better soon. Less pain anyway.

4:16 am

FMitch

m, q and s's done and so am I. Back in a while.

4:24 am

jo_jo

ive managed to get qu6/33 but not qu9/78

4:26 am

trishtrash

jo-jo ... do you still mean un9/78?

sounds like a disturber of the peace.

4:26 am

jo_jo

yeah thats the one lol.

4:28 am

trishtrash

try it this way...
un + not noisy + sound of hesitation
(... oddly, I don't have a qu6/33 ... goes hunting)

4:30 am

jo_jo

ahh thankyou

4:31 am

trishtrash

yw, jo_jo

4:32 am

trishtrash

100 left, good time for a break, see everyone later.

4:39 am

mrpresident

oh Sprite... hope she feels better soon!!

4:42 am

rumplestiltskin

Sprite, I am so sorry to hear that. I have had many bladder infections and they are horribly painful. Give her a hug for me and a cupcake

4:55 am

Jacula

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. I said to Paul (my other half) only yesterday, 'I bet there'll be a big grid on Tuesday when everyone is back at work'.

5:14 am

Eva

good morning everyone. Jacula, what a beautiful icon! re hell in spades!

5:16 am

Jacula

Hi, Eva. I thought the icon would do nicely for today's th5/14 of 'exotic places'. Don't know about the re's yet, as I'm not using a list so far. I imagine there are qu5/16 a few though!

5:22 am

sprite

Hi rumple, thanks, I will! :)

5:32 am

Jacula

Sprite - I'd like to apologise for the misunderstanding we had a while ago. I'm afraid you caught me at a bad time. However, I hope we can get over that.

5:32 am

sprite

Sure we can, Jac. No hard feelings. Hope you are feeling a little bit better now.

5:34 am

Jacula

I am, thank you, Sprite. Sorry to hear your little girl is poorly. A bladder infection is v. painful. She needs plenty of water or barley water to help flush it through.

5:36 am

Eva

If the crew running the world were capable of doing what you two just did, we would all be in much better shape.

5:36 am

sprite

It's always so sad, a little girl in so much pain. We'll be sure to let her drink plenty indeed. I have just taken a... what is it called... sample to the hospital, where they will make it into something that will reveal the cause of the infection in a few days.

5:37 am

sprite

(((Eva)))

5:38 am

Jacula

True, Eva, butsadly, the prospect of an untroubled world is about as likely as the moon being made of cheese.x

5:38 am

Eva

luckily urinary tract infections, as painful as they are, usually respond really quickly to medication. And cranberry juice - but not the sweetned cocktail-the straight, unsweetened stuff, if you can get her to drink it. And vitamin C or anything that acidifies the urine.

5:39 am

Jacula

Sprite - I hope she's better soon.

5:40 am

sprite

Good tips, all of them, thank you both. She will drink anything that helps, she is a sensible and brave little lady. Stupid I did not think of cranberry juice, I used to know that. *hops off to get some*

5:40 am

Jacula

Seeing Merp there reminds me that I am an hour late feeding the cats. I'd better go and do it. BBL.

5:40 am

Eva

Gulp...you mean the moon isn't made of cheese? I agree that the prospect of any kind of sanity and compassion ruling the world is incredibly slim. But I am still very appreciative of sanity and gentleness and awareness wherever and whenever it appears.

5:41 am

sprite

I am sure she will, Jac, now she has antibiotics. She had an infection last year, that was so serious it was mistaken for appendicitis. But in between she's been okay, so I am pretty sure the medication will take.

5:44 am

Eva

also Sprite, I don't know if she has any tendency towards yeast infections, but if she takes antibiotics that is always a risk, and taking acidopholus or eating lots of yogurt at the same time will protect the ph balance and restore the ecology of the system some.

5:44 am

Eva

90 words left to find and I am really stuck! May need to just back off for a while. Merp thinks that's an excellent idea.

6:08 am

miametro

17 qu's? you've got to be kidding.

6:09 am

Eva

hi mia. Very quiet right now. Yup-and I've found 14 of them thus far.

6:09 am

miametro

i've only founds three, sigh. heh.

6:10 am

Eva

the patterns will emerge

6:12 am

miametro

argh. i don't have time to do a big puzzle today, i've got too much to get on with away from the computer, lol. i found a fifth of the words, i guess that'll have to do ! lol.

6:13 am

Eva

I know, I have to paint the bedroom today. Will stop babbling soon.

6:16 am

sprite

Ho8/50 centaur?

6:17 am

sprite

And Tm6/21: separation of the parts of a compound word by one or more intervening words; for example, where I go ever instead of wherever I go.
That is becoming a regular in these grids, isn't it?

6:20 am

amandacath

Hello all! Nice big one today. I've got all the biggies except the hi8/50 and an8/45. Any clues?

6:23 am

sprite

Hi8: up till here.
An8/45: not a very brave person :)

6:27 am

amandacath

yay sprite! thx - actually normal words. Should have seen those.

6:27 am

sprite

We are becoming so trained in looked for odd words, we tend to overlook the normal ones ;)

6:27 am

sprite

*looking

6:32 am

Eva

thanks for the an8 sprite!

6:33 am

sprite

Nice one, isn't it! :)

6:36 am

Eva

missing 2 8's. I have:
an8/45
an8/55
hi8/50
ho8 /50
me8/60
qu8/60
qu8/55
re8/6 0

Any ideas?

6:37 am

Eva

I know they're going to end up being re's and I'm going to have to throw myself off the nearest tall building.

6:38 am

sprite

Ma8/45 is one.

6:38 am

amandacath

se8/50 - linguistics term
ma8/45 - ummm...sounds like a not-particularly-well-known Tom Selleck movie?

6:39 am

sprite

*drags Eva away from the tall building, saying reassuring things like 'no, no, there are no more big Re's, you found them all'*

6:41 am

Eva

thanks guys....I know I haven't found all the re's, but the delusion will serve for now. Have to go hunting for the two you gave me. Hmmmm....

6:42 am

Eva

got the se. Funny how sometimes youjust need to type in the word you want...even though you can't see how it is there. And then it turns out that it does connect properly.

6:43 am

sprite

For the Ma8: do you have the As5/10? Start with M and make it even more so.

6:44 am

Eva

any more clues for that ma8? I keep thinking of that really good westernmovie he did, but don't even know the title and anyway its probably not the right one.

6:45 am

Eva

got it Sprite! Thanks again.

6:45 am

sprite

Way back in the beginning Atalante told me: just type in any word you think might be there, even if you don't see how to make it. Often it works nonetheless :)

6:46 am

amandacath

No, it was a jewel-thief thingy, if I remeber correctly. Has to do with jaws (not the movie), but that's probably not much help either.

6:46 am

sprite

And that's me done for today. Any more clues before I go back to my little girl?

6:48 am

ExWren

Hello everyone, I'm not playing today, but just changed my icon, it's the beach at Mayreau, in the Caribbean

6:50 am

Eva

Sprite you amaze me! Do you have a list of the 7's?

6:50 am

Eva

Hi exwren!

6:51 am

sprite

Working on the 7-list :)

7:07 am

Eva

Sprite-don't worry about it. I hadn't realized how long a list it is and you have your daughter to care for. I think I'll paint walls for a while and hope for inspiration to get through the last 67.

7:09 am

FMitch

7:14 am

sprite

Te6/21: proposition that is maintained by argument

7:15 am

FMitch

(((sprite and little sick one)))

7:15 am

sprite

Yeah sure, that was Th6/21.
You mean Te6/21, as you asked. That is a voiceless unaspirated stop in ancient Greek.

7:16 am

ktf

Thanks Sprite!

7:17 am

Jen and Kate

7:27 am

ARB

Sprite, your th 7/36 doesn't seem right to me. Yhe th 7 comes after the th6 for the doctoral ___ and I can't find an appropriate word that fits your definition and falls into alphabetical order. Tell me where I'm wrong

7:27 am

Jera

That's twice today I've found a word by mis-typing another word, LOL

7:30 am

ktf

How we doing, everyone?

7:30 am

amandacath

ARB - Sprite's list is correct: "h6/24 & th7/36"

7:30 am

sprite

ARB: Hi6/24 towards this place, + T.

7:30 am

evanonut

ktf buuuudddyyy - didn't see ya!

7:31 am

ktf

*grin* I'm hiding under all of the big words...

7:31 am

evanonut

oh no! big words, i never find the big words!

7:32 am

evanonut

guess that means i'm small minded.

7:32 am

ARB

OK I don't see it. More help please on the TH 7/36

7:32 am

ktf

There's a stack today. Argh. I think 64 is the most I'm going to get.

7:33 am

evanonut

i never finish puzzles ktf, used to occasionally and realized that for me, it took all the fun out of it.

7:34 am

ktf

I suppose it's fun to keep on truckin'. I'm finding them here and there...

7:35 am

evanonut

keep plugging away buddy

7:35 am

ARB

Found the damn TH!! Any help available on the ne 6/21?

7:36 am

sprite

ARB: running from here to there. I think maybe you need to think of another vowel than the doctoral ____ takes.

7:37 am

sprite

Ne6/21 is very related to the Th and H, lol! Other word for nor, and not.

7:37 am

ARB

You're right, SPrite. I looked at your last clue again and you made me get out of the box

7:37 am

sprite

Or no, that would take an A as well. This one is 'lower'.
Like in the country I live.

7:37 am

ARB

Finished. Yippee

7:38 am

Good work!

Tonight there will be REAL fireworks -- Tomorrow is Independence Day in Israel and tonight there are fireworks. We live about 200 yards from the 15 story building in the middle of Tel Aviv from which they fire them -- if the wind is right, the ashes fall on us!

7:43 am

ktf

Holy cow, I just found 're4'. I'm so ashamed of myself.

7:43 am

evanonut

arb, dr_g says we will soon have fireworks in here!

7:43 am

Jera

How cool is that, ARB! Such fun! (I love fireworks)

7:44 am

ARB

So do I, along with parades and circuses. It's the child in me.

7:46 am

Hi everyone. Didn't finish yesterday's as I got back from the football too late, and not much chance of finishing today's either, but at least it is a fun one :)

7:50 am

ktf

I thought that moose was a spider...

7:51 am

evanonut

mmm, chocolat at 8:50 am - what a great country!

7:51 am

ktf

Hah, I'm in Sweden, it's almost 3pm.

7:52 am

evanonut

hey, no wonder i never see that ktf kid.

7:52 am

ktf

*grin* I'm elusive...

7:53 am

evanonut

like hiding behind the big words?

7:53 am

ktf

And, *sniff* I'm not a KID. I'm old enough to drink in your country... *grin*

7:53 am

evanonut

i call everyone kid!

7:53 am

rumplestiltskin

HEY, I am glad to see someone from SWEDEN, home of my ancestors. We have been there in the winter. It was very cold. Our exchange student was from Asele. We saw the Northern Lights. They were beautiful Valkommen

7:54 am

ktf

Fair enough... Maybe I should start calling everyone 'doll.'

7:54 am

evanonut

haven't even been to canada - stopped into haiti once.

7:55 am

ktf

Not from Sweden, sorry. (But hej!) Just visiting from Australia. My girlfriend lives here.

7:55 am

evanonut

I'll have to look on my map and see where that is in relation to Asele. We were up in Lappland country and saw all the Lapps with their reindeer and teepees

7:59 am

evanonut

8:00 am

rumplestiltskin

The first thing Susanna wanted to do was get her driver's license as they can't do that in Sweden until they are 21.

8:00 am

ktf

It's really hard to get your licence here, I've heard. And petrol is mega expensive. But public transport is good.

8:01 am

ktf

I'm very mature for my age, I'll have you know.

Afternoon all. How's the new approach to finding words going, FMItch?

9:30 am

FMitch

Oh Hi ya Haz afternoon.

9:31 am

Haz1558

You're miles ahead of me, then! Good to know you've been helped psychologically.... (you know I'm joking)

9:36 am

FMitch

9:43 am

FMitch

the weather forecasters says its going to be 75 degress towards the end of this week, can this really be so?!

9:44 am

Haz1558

I'll beleive it when I see it. They also told us it was going to be the coldest winter for decades. Today is cold and blustery here.

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

9:55 am

10:13 am

Haz1558

It's nowhere near London, you're right. Co Antrim is at the top of Ireland - next stop the Atlantic. It makes for bracing sea-bathing!

10:13 am

Punster

Because punster gave me his p/w in case I needed help, and I forgot to log off last night....

10:29 am

FMitch

Ouwa, yr right BJs list does say a 6/27. I have all the r's and I don't have the 6/27 the next one after the 8 is re4/4..... strange????

10:30 am

Haz1558

ma6/30 - type of disguise used at a ball.

10:30 am

hetty

Good morning all. Haz, I trust you are he6/21. . .super clue for me to start the day with. Then I scroll down to say "Hi" and find another super clue for ur6/27. Won't you be my buddy?

Haz1558

Hello hetty - are you well? I'm still working my way through the grid, but I'm glad to help out with any clues.

10:33 am

FMitch

Ouwa - try a F5 refresh and see if that clears the anomoly. I have a feeling it is to do with the qu letters and BJ's program.

10:34 am

Haz1558

re7/28 - extends the leasing re4/4 with a comparative ending.

10:34 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks haz

10:36 am

hetty

I'm well, thanks, and I love your clues. Did you know my surname rhymes with "clues"? Maybe that's why it's the part of babbling I like best--access into other brighter minds, don't you know. Now I'll return to the grid like you. Have a happy day

10:37 am

baggo

hello all!!!!!!

10:37 am

10:48 am

hetty

evanadine, just snuck down the chatline to find another of Haz's clues and instead found your lovely lovely icon. Is the theme today beautiful landscapes, nature or something? How do I discover what the theme for tomorrow is going to be, since it's time for a change?

10:49 am

rumplestiltskin

Hi All, back. Had to get my ham and beans with potatoes and onions cooking. By lunch they will be ready to add dumplings. Yum.
Still have 100 words to go.

10:49 am

EvaNadine

hetty -- Babbler puts the themes in her profile -- you can bookmark it to refer to when she isnt around...

i think todays theme is exotic places?
this just happened to be the icon i already had up...

10:50 am

Babbler

hetty, today's theme is Exotic Places. You will find themes in my profile. Or if you go to Angelsong's site, you will find a link direct to me. : )

10:50 am

10:51 am

baggo

nice to hear it fmitch....i see ya all are gettin together, that should be loads of fun....

10:51 am

EvaNadine

thanks babbler + all the rest for your hugs.
just very surprised by it all, as it happened to suddently and unexpectedly.
he realized he never wants to get married...to anyone, ever. and he never wants to have kids either.
he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, but not married.
i do want to get married, and i do want children someday.

2 years, gone.

10:54 am

Babbler

He needs to step up or grow up, Evanadine. Don't worry honey, you know what you want and it will come to you. Meantime, you can turn to us for hugs anytime you need. ((((Evan))))

10:55 am

hydra

Big, supportive hug, evanadine. Sounds like he has some growing up to do.

10:56 am

EvaNadine

yknow, strangely, i can deal with being single...
but what hurts the most is that ive lost my best friend.
:(

10:58 am

Babbler

yes, that's the hardest part, Evan. : (

10:58 am

baggo

that's the worst part of a breakup i think....

10:59 am

hydra

Hope you can go on being friends. I had a break up once, we didn't speak for ten months then bumped into each other in the street and now we're good friends and have been for the 15 years since the breakup. I'm glad now I didn't stay with him. We were unsuited as a couple. But not as friends.

10:59 am

hetty

evan, I've been married 53 years to the best of all husbands and the road has been rocky at times. But though I haven't had the heartache you are now feeling I have seen it in my three daughters and four of my six granddaughters and I know well that regret for what seem like wasted years. Only they aren't that. They make you who you are, and one day the memory of them will be sweet again, I promise. Your true prince WILL come and so will those babies, when the time is right. So take heart.

10:59 am

EvaNadine

*AGH!*
enough of me bringing the mood down in here!
im heading out to lunch with a friend soon...gonna load up on pizza or pasta or something else just as heavy.
gonna make myself feel better!

11:00 am

baggo

well i only have a little bit of time left, don't think i'll finish this one.. I get to go with a friend of mine to see a $20,000,000. home. Each year in our city they raise money for the city hospital by going in and fixing up a home, well the big exec that got nailed for money issues, his home is being used for it, it's on 40 acres and the house is over 24,000 square feet...

11:01 am

Babbler

well said, Hetty. : )

Evan, no you didn't bring the mood down at all. We're with you, is all. : )

11:02 am

FMitch

lovely to see you baggo, come back soon :)

11:02 am

baggo

hey hey hetty!!! right on...been married 18 and it truly does have it's ups and downs.....we're here for ya evanadine....

11:02 am

11:03 am

i shall...i really have missed you all....i have about 30 minutes left, then I gotta go get ready...what does one wear to a house like this????

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear about your breakup, evaN...

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

baggo: designer houses are the greatest fun- enjoy it!

11:03 am

EvaNadine

i would LOVE if he + i could stay friends.
but he has said that if we cant be together, then he never wants to see me again, as it would be too painful for him (as if this isnt painful fo rme!)
and as we live 40 minutes apart, it is unlikely i will run into him anywhere...

what i really hope is that he will get his head out of his @$$ and see what hes walking away from. we are perfect together, best friends, soul mates.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

evaN: that may or may not happen.
my sister in law's sister's husband decided that he did not want to be married & a father after three beautiful sons...be very cautious

11:05 am

baggo

here go to this site to see the house...

www.talktotucker.com

search for a new home by street and put in 116th

11:06 am

Babbler

I hope he realises that too, evan. T-Owl's right, be careful.

11:07 am

Haz1558

Taking a break for a walk with the dog. Evanadine - my sympathies.

Hi all.... I was just checking yesterdays grid and saw that Bookie had 1 extra word ..140 with 1839 points .How can this happen when we all had 139 words with 1825 points?

11:09 am

evanonut

evan - one more thing, don't consider those two years lost - EVER

11:10 am

Babbler

s'right, they're not lost. They're there to teach you and for you to learn from. You can't see what yet, but you will.

11:12 am

EvaNadine

i have no ill-will towards him.
i cant be mad at him for being truthful with me -- he could have just married me + we would have ended up miserable because he did something he didnt want to do.

it would be earlier if i were mad at him though.

1:38 pm

lshult

125 words still to go, but I just found the 9.
Not bad considering I've still to find a single 8!!

1:39 pm

Haz1558

Ishult, there's a nice me8/60, where the insect appears to have traded in its o's for another vowel.

1:39 pm

faeriekae

Ishult - LOL me too...not the 125 to go but I do have the 9 only because someone clued me :)

1:41 pm

Kateq

good night and ty for the clues

2:24 pm

boreetos

bye kateq!

2:24 pm

MikeyInBerlin

2:25 pm

Kateq

actually I'm still here--LOL--saying bye to Haz

2:25 pm

boreetos

yeah its easy to get wrapped up in the grid. Sometimes when I'm really into I actually close the log to keep from getting distracted. Somedays it really is about the puzzle. Some days it is not.

2:25 pm

boreetos

oh, I missed that.

Bye HAZ!!

2:26 pm

MikeyInBerlin

ja, boreetos; i hear you.....when i'm concentrating on the grid, i do the same thing!

2:29 pm

MikeyInBerlin

nah, hellenkeller; you're fine.....i don't really know and haven't really chatted with you as of yet, anyhow? :-) but, you know; it's strange.....when i first joined and was getting acquainted with everyone here, they were all so friendly.....but most often now, hardly anyone answers my greetings, even when they are present and actively chatting in here! :-/ who knows why, though? *shrugs*

2:29 pm

boreetos

sorry kateq, I have none of those three.

2:29 pm

faeriekae

I'm a boring eater. I like bland foods.

2:29 pm

faeriekae

No seasoning...no sauces....I'm boring

2:29 pm

helenkeller

you must try one from a good jewish deli - they will use the best stuff - cultural pride & all --- i hate them when the corned beef is tough & tringly & flavor-lacking --alot of placed really can screw them up --- but not mine :))))

2:30 pm

MikeyInBerlin

faeriekae :-) sorry.....lol; just saw your greeting in here now.....wow; how *are* you.....long time no talk to? :-P

2:30 pm

boreetos

mikey, it happens, there's hot and cold days. We can't all chat wit everyone everyday. I know if its been a couple of days since I've seen somene on here, I'll be more inclined to talk to them.

2:31 pm

faeriekae

Mikey you have to get with the program here. I just said Hello to you :(

2:31 pm

helenkeller

or, hmmmmm, mikey, maybe you just forgot to take your anti-paranoia pills today - lol

2:31 pm

faeriekae

{{{Mikey}}}

2:31 pm

boreetos

yeah hk, I agree. (i assume that was supposed to say stringy?) mmmm, a good rueban though, deeeelish.

2:32 pm

faeriekae

Mikey go take your meds. LOL

2:32 pm

MikeyInBerlin

no, of course not, boreetos; but it's nice to return a greeting.....i always *try* to, if i'm actively in here, and see them, that is

2:32 pm

MikeyInBerlin

huh, faeriekae? :-/

2:32 pm

helenkeller

tringly - nope, i believe that's what i meant - what, you never heard of that? i'm sure it's a frequent babble words, in fact i'm sure i learned it here first, lol

2:33 pm

boreetos

its true, but I'm sure if someone gets missed, like Haz leaving just now, its flashed in the log so quickly, I missed it, that it's certainly not intentional or anything.

2:33 pm

MikeyInBerlin

excuse me, helenkeller? hmm; since when does being friendly and sociable, and wondering why those i've been chatting with in here are suddenly very quiet over the last few days make one 'paranoid'? :-/

2:34 pm

faeriekae

Mikey I'm just joking with you Honey....You know that I love you just the way you are :) You don't need any meds. Me on the other hand????

2:34 pm

Mary

Please, need a clue for the re6/27 right after the re8/60?

2:35 pm

MikeyInBerlin

aw; no, faeriekae.....don't be silly!!! of course you don't, either! :-)

2:35 pm

faeriekae

I'm going to need Meds to finish this grid and then I'll need Meds after its finished LOL

2:35 pm

boreetos

oh right hk... TRINGY!. I thought you said trinGY, with the accent on the last syllable, which as we all know is NOT a word.. tringy on the other hand, yes babble yes, most definaltely. :)

2:37 pm

helenkeller

well mikey - in my, ok, limited experience, i have found the people to some of the chattiest on the internet, lol - maybe you just had a few off days -for example, yesterday was actually one of my most favorite chatting days on here -politics, religion, all that cool taboo stuff ya ain't supposed to mention - it was great -yeah mikey, i think it's probably more a question of timing more than anything else

2:37 pm

ch1212

kateq, did you get responses for the 3 you asked about? I was looking for the same ones:

2:58 pm

ch1212

hurshy, another ST word -- I thought the ma 5/18 was a fictional group. :)

2:59 pm

hurshy

ch1212 - i think ST borrowed it from history - i think they were actual insurrectionists - did you look it up? i'm gonna.

3:00 pm

sandr

last shout for clues - i am about to split for the evening

3:00 pm

Kateq

Could it be that dish that real men don't eat? (qu 6/33)

3:01 pm

ch1212

no time, hurshy. Sandr, thank you and congrats on finishing!

3:01 pm

hurshy

no kate - i think it is most likely not a normal word

ch1212 - that word is not it! it is spelled with an s at the end. but i was right about it being historical - french resistance in WWII

3:02 pm

Jera

Huzzah for oggy!

3:33 pm

evanonut

3:34 pm

hurshy

let me tell you a story about a young babbler named hurshy. she started to babble one day and she thought, life is too short to find them all. then she got addicted to the game and now her ranking is PERMANENTLY SCARRED by the fact that she did some of those first puzzles without finishing. a sad tale, is it not?

3:34 pm

Jera

I can't wait til Dr_God finishes the fireworks function!

*clapping her hands & jumping up & down in excitement*

3:34 pm

Dr_God

Comin' very soon. ;)

3:35 pm

3:35 pm

oggy

3:35 pm

evanonut

3:35 pm

hurshy

28 to go, oggy, no list!

3:35 pm

Jera

*looks scared that Dr_God was listening*

Good thing I wasn't taking your Name in vain, Dr_God! :D

3:36 pm

Dr_God

I'm not a big smoter, Jera, so have no fear.

3:36 pm

hurshy

hmmm, were you just grammatically incorrect to avoid saying a grid word, doc?

3:36 pm

Dr_God

Or smiter I should say

3:37 pm

Jera

Good to know! ;> (except for trolls, right?)

3:37 pm

Dr_God

I do like to smite trolls, yes.

3:41 pm

bendamalina

That must explain the exceptionally long puzzle today.

3:42 pm

Jera

I'm sure it will be a ginormous grid tomorrow since I have to go out of town... firming up details for the Victorian Tea Party I'm hostessing for Mother's Day for the Girl Scouts. Such fun!

3:42 pm

3:42 pm

evanonut

3:42 pm

Jera

benda, this is a respectable size, we have had much larger ones, though...

3:44 pm

ch1212

So ... from the qu*** I'm guessing no one has the ma 6/30 that follows the French resistence group? Or if you do, could I please have a clue?

3:44 pm

sherb

evening all :)

3:44 pm

hurshy

ch1212 - a 6/30 right after the STish word?? are you sure??? i'm trying but it doesn't seem....

3:44 pm

ch1212

hi sherb!

3:45 pm

ch1212

I know, hurshy, I swear I've tried every combo using that 2ltr tile... but I finally got the list out and that's what it says

3:45 pm

Jera

Do you have the french face disguise?

3:45 pm

Vicuna

I've been struggling over that one, too. i don't see how it's possible.

3:45 pm

oggy

ma6/30 are similar just change the 3rd letter

3:46 pm

hurshy

3:46 pm

sherb

hi ch1212 !! :)

3:46 pm

Vicuna

According to Brandyjack, there are three ma6/30's.

3:47 pm

Jera

Do you have the ma6/30 that rhymes with where you keep money? It's frenchy

3:47 pm

hurshy

i have 2 ma 6/30, the ones oggy is mentioning - are you saying that's all of them, oggy

3:47 pm

hannah lou

3:48 pm

Jera

Okay, thanks.

3:49 pm

Jera

And bothe have frenchy spellings

3:49 pm

ch1212

3:49 pm

hannah lou

bye jera hurshy fmitch and evanonut

3:49 pm

bendamalina

yes, I'm sure they can get bigger...but still...a large/long puzzle.
long or large?
It seems odd to say a large puzzle, since the grid is always 5X5...but long doesn't seem qu*** right either...

3:49 pm

torgone

So is smugness .. ;)

3:49 pm

Jera

Yes, Vicuna, both oggy & I are done (at least)

3:49 pm

Vicuna

I might quibble with your usage of the word "virtue" hurshy... but I'm too busy failing to find words.

3:49 pm

oggy

bye h.l. see u 2morrow.

3:49 pm

hurshy

torgone - do you like the smugness, dislike it, or feel indifferent?

3:50 pm

Jera

3:50 pm

evanonut

bye hanna

3:50 pm

hurshy

3:51 pm

bendamalina

i have no idea, hurshy. I think they should count!

3:51 pm

ch1212

Ahhhhhh.... BJ's has that extra ma 6/30. Ignore it. (big sigh of relief)

3:51 pm

torgone

I keed! But I like confidence and self-assuredness, when it's justified ..

3:52 pm

Vicuna

I could tell you, but then I'd have to employ one...

3:52 pm

hurshy

and menthe! we need it to go with cr5!

3:52 pm

hurshy

and *i* like to take surveys. :)

3:53 pm

Jera

3:54 pm

ch1212

Done! Anyone need/desire a clue before I head off to continue wedding details? (daughter getting married; she has graciously allowed me to have fun with the details :)

4:42 pm

Jera

That's okay faerie... I thank the gods when I hurt because many people with my condition have no feeling in their legs or no legs! No feeling is very scary as you can hurt yourself very badly & not realize it...

4:42 pm

hurshy

he 7/32... a gay woman, but change two consonants.

4:42 pm

hurshy

i meant a compound word... a word made of two other words - which it was!

4:42 pm

Uneaixoise

4:43 pm

Jera

That's one way to give a clue, hurshy, LOL... I would have said revolutionary war soldier for hire

The ur6/27 is descriptive... "like" suffix

How about this : first vowel is French for without less the last letter and the second vowel is what you use a clock for without the last vowel (SA 7)

5:13 pm

Scatty, we seem to be compatible in several ways/ Like you I have too much attention from my friend Arthur Itis today (or does your pain have a different source?) and I seem to progress through the puzzles in a similar way at a similar rate. Now I'm leaving to attend to roasting veggies for supper and I doubt I'll be back. Best of luck if you stick with it, and LOL

5:40 pm

hurshy

oggy - you don't have to keep playing if you are tired! you did read rule #1 of GWHIM, right?

5:41 pm

cliffopa

faerie - i've taken about 100 pics of the new kitten since i got him on thursday. i can't stop....he's just sooooo adorable!

5:41 pm

faeriekae

Is that you hubby?

5:42 pm

Jera

Sorry... had to investigate a bloodcurdling shriek from the bathtub...

5:42 pm

mab

Aw, cliff, that's so sweet. I so so much want a kitten. My elder cats, however, would die of indignation.

5:42 pm

cliffopa

yes. when i came home from work they were napping together :) but now, if you refresh, you'll see a close up of Brady.

5:42 pm

hurshy

so, jera, you were about to clue me a weird but non-he7-like me6/21? :)

5:42 pm

faeriekae

LOL Jera - there are bad things that can happen in the tub.

5:43 pm

Jera

Especially when you are 4 & love to splash, faerie

5:44 pm

Jera

I suppose you have the rock from the sky, hurshy?

5:44 pm

hurshy

5:44 pm

5:44 pm

cliffopa

mab, i have a 15 yr old male and a 3 yr old female cat. and a chow chow. i have to keep the kitten in a 'safe' room until he gets big enough to cope with the others. my female hates the new kitten. the older guy is interested in a positive way but is very jealous. the dog is like a child and is underfoot every minute.

5:45 pm

Jera

There are 2 kind of like he7, but in different ways, you have them?

7:30 pm

Hi. Does anyone have the
to 6, 18
to 5, 10 the last one
Thanks.

7:31 pm

Munner

many thanks, gwenski. I've been stuck on the last 5 for too long.

7:32 pm

gwenski

to6/18 is plural of to5/10 above. Rhymes with ho6/21

7:32 pm

gwenski

Change the last vowel of the other to5 to get the last one.

7:33 pm

Munner

Both to are related the to 6 is plural for the to 5 before it. The last to 5, just change the final letter.

7:33 pm

gwenski

Well, I think I'll join most of America and see else what the Idols are singing tonight.

7:39 pm

se 8 having to do with words/language

7:39 pm

gwenski

Oops. I gave you the clue for sa7, not se8. Sorry. se8 is a matter of words, or how you say them, or what they mean, or something like that.

7:39 pm

Uneaixoise

se8 relates to the meaning of language and the study of language

7:40 pm

Munner

Monkey typing not working for my last two: re 6/27 and na 6/21. Anyone have a hint for these?

7:40 pm

gwenski

one me6 is a plural. the other is me+ti4/4

7:41 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks got the se8

7:41 pm

scatty

7:42 pm

gwenski

There's an error in the list. There isn't a re6/27.

7:42 pm

Munner

Well, that explains part of my brain freeze

7:43 pm

gwenski

na6 means dwarfism. (ends that way, too)

7:46 pm

Munner

Ty once again, gwenski.
( If today's total is 258/4438....I'm finished)

7:47 pm

Stidmama - that is a hard one unless you've studied Greek or Latin. It means a voiceless stop or, more especially, a voiceless unaspirated stop in ancient Greek.

It stems from the Greek word for 'thin'. Think of a te***** link but change the 5th letter to a personal pronoun (an upstanding single letter), scrap the next vowel and keep the snakey end letter.

Jeffer - 1st qu7/44, if you haven't got it already. Think of the designer of the mini-skirt, Mary Qu***. The mini-skirt may be described as the 7. LOL. What it really means is 'A homogeneous polynomial having two or more variables'.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Bendy - When you've played this game a while you get to know what the weird words are that both yourself and newer folks can, and often do, miss. Thing is, as I think Sprite said much earlier, when you're a Babble 'veteran' you tend to look for the weird words first and miss the normal, simple ones!!

Stid - if my Paul was here, and not sleeping ready for work very shortly, he'd most certainly make a crude male comment about ne6 + tuna! However, he's asleep and so he won't, thank goodness!LOL.

10:10 pm

stidmama

10:14 pm

abe79

mi 6/24 (second to last mi)

10:14 pm

bendamalina - palindrome it sounds like you want to make it into metem or reter or something - you should prob just say reverse it :)

10:14 pm

stidmama

helen -- I am down to 18, but only by surfing for clues in between asking for help! LOL

It went slower when I was listless... but only barely.

10:33 pm

although, i like the image of ho8 being a centaur

10:34 pm
