12:42 am
ls1
kierlex - its not - its hebrew (i think)
12:42 am
SamanthaJoy
Well, kier, there are places where you can get hints. Take a look at the bottom of the page here for help; the most popular is lickety's site, but I don't think he's posted yet today
12:42 am
stidmama
no, I think that one is the hebrew for one of the letters in their alphabet? for which no english equivalent exists...
12:42 am
SamanthaJoy
liba, it is NOT a word. That's all we needed. :P
12:42 am
libarebel

12:43 am
libarebel

12:43 am
SamanthaJoy
Heh. I'd rather you ask questions that wonder, and I think so would everyone else here.
12:43 am
stidmama
Samantha, that's the word my tiny brain was looking for... transliteration!
12:43 am
SamanthaJoy
Dax, My calculator doesn't go that big
12:44 am
stidmama
BGL, just about to! one more word and I'll have 100 for the evening.
12:44 am
stidmama
I so want "bistro" to be a word today...
12:45 am
SamanthaJoy
I want to stop at 100, too, but it's gonna take a while

matty, do you have ar5/12, sounds like an illegal drug used by baseball players?
5:35 am

I haven't gotten any of the re's yet, but it's a safe bet there are quite a few of them...
5:36 am

judy-please don't enter real words in the chat log....we just give each other clues except when we make a mistake and type in the chat area when we didn't mean to.
5:40 am

it rhymes with the drug--actually means something to do with lilies
5:41 am

I was just helping . I wont help anymore sorry
5:41 am

matty, perhaps you remember Bobby Bonds of the Giants? A lot of people are rather upset with Barry Bonds, his son, now also playing for the Giants, on account of his using performance-enhancing steroids and allegedly lying about it...
5:42 am
Eva
Judy-helping is just fine, but a lot of the fun of the game is coming up with interesting indirect clues, and receiving them from others. Especially early in the day we try to not make things too obvious, so that everyone can have the fun and challenge of figuring things out. If you lurk and watch the chat log for a while for the first few times you'll get the sense of it. But please don't feel that you can't help!
5:43 am
CJ25
Judy - you can help as much as you like - its more than welcome :-)

But if one is going to be mad a Barry Bonds, one should also be mad at Mark McGuire, Rafael Palmiero, and the leadership of baseball for generally turning a blind eye to the whole affair...

I was doing a crossword puzzle with my 12-year-old son, and one of the clues was "Person not likely to be invited to the prom." When I quickly filled in n4/5 as the answer, he said "Gosh, Dad, how did you know that one so fast?"
5:55 am
CJ25
Fran - its by then what you use a vehicle on
5:55 am
Eva
fran-by + something one travels on. Never heard it before. And yes the 7 is the plural

CJ-sorry for the delay, was running on battery power and went into the death spiral there for a minute. The di7/32 sounds a bit like the single celled organisms that float in the ocean, but ends with a 4 letter t word that was the title of a disney movie about computers.
6:05 am

8:27 am
Judy_2u

8:28 am
sprite
When you told the waiter what you want to eat and after a while another waiter comes and asks what you want, you must Re7/32.
8:30 am
hydra
Sprite, that was it! Thanks very much. 47 to go.
8:30 am
72 Temple Owl
re 7 connected to hearhts? hmm...
8:32 am
Kateq
re7 = A decorative screen or facing on the wall at the back of an altar; a retable.
The back of an open hearth of a fireplace.
re7 = re + re5/12
8:32 am
sprite
That is the meaning indeed. But the word looks like plural of to have to act again and then again.
8:33 am
Kateq
I'm done!
Any clues needed?
8:33 am
72 Temple Owl

8:34 am

burke
good day babblers
8:53 am
smithchick
Hi burke...
8:53 am
sprite
And again problems with the site...
8:54 am
burke
how's the grid today? nice or nasty?
8:54 am
smithchick
The system is nasty, burke. I hate this new setup.
8:54 am
Kallia
more connection problems :(
8:55 am
burke
new setup? wot new setup? although its kinda laggy... on par with the lag during yesterday's grid...
8:55 am
Kallia
takes the fun away somewhat
8:56 am
smithchick
It's only been set up like this for a couple of weeks. Before that I didn't have to turn it back on 20 times a day.
8:56 am
sprite
And we did not enter words in the chatlog by accident. And we could hide the log if we wanted to.
8:57 am
smithchick
Yeah, tell it sprite!
8:57 am
Kallia
we should all lobby Dr God for the old setup back
8:58 am
smithchick
You can still hide the chat log, by the way. The little icon after my friends lets you. I'll go for that Kallia!
8:58 am
sprite
I already did tell, smithchick, and was told off for daring to say it. So I remain silent now ;)
8:58 am
abe79
heya burke!
8:58 am
Kallia
and we could just hide the icons too
8:58 am
smithchick
Are you serious? Well how rude!
8:58 am
sprite
That icon only hides the window in which one enters new messages, not the rest of the log.
8:59 am
smithchick
Oh, I like to chat, so I hadn't even tried it.
8:59 am
Kallia
personally I think maybe Dr God is a little ambitious with the set up...the server obviously has problems with it
9:00 am
sprite
More people have asked to at least find a solution for the frequent posting of words in the chatlog, but he says it is not really a problem, we should get used to it. And he claims almost nobody does it anyway. It gave me a fairly bad taste in my mouth, to tell you the truth.
9:01 am
smithchick
I've done it almost every day at least once if not more!
9:01 am
Kallia
well I see it a lot Sprite...I do it too of course!
9:02 am
sprite
Yeah, I think he measures it against the total of people that play babble, not against the frequent chatters. Which is... welll, never mind.
9:02 am
Kallia
far more play than chat I think
9:03 am
Kallia
is it mostly pros who chat does anyone know?
9:03 am
wurdygurl
I chat and I am not a pro.
9:03 am
burke
actually.. i would think that there're a lot more lurkers rather than those who only play and not chat...
9:04 am
wurdygurl
I think it depends on the time of day
9:04 am
smithchick
That's true, but the chatterers shouldn't be punished! I think it depends on the time of day. In the evening, there are a lot of non-pros that chat.
9:04 am
sprite
Not really, though most frequent chatters become pro after a while.
9:04 am
abe79
it seems like a mixed bag. yesterday evening was more non-pros
9:04 am
mattygroves
Whatever happened to the idea of sending an email to God (never thought I'd have occasion to say THAT) with loads of signatures on it?
9:04 am
smithchick
I think burke is right.
9:04 am
pgprovos
Any help for re 7/32 I've got the fixer fixerupper
9:04 am
Kallia
yesterday evening the site was BADDDDDDDDDD
9:05 am
sprite
The people online then all sent their own email, so it was abandoned.
9:05 am
burke
so to lurkers> at the least, please acknowledge the hints that helped u =)))
9:05 am
smithchick
I got off early yesterday because my kids needed the computer for school. I broke out the list to finish the last 15 so I'd be able to finish faster.
9:05 am
sprite
lol burke!
9:05 am
abe79
pgprovos, do you have the re/7/32 -restaurant one?
9:06 am
Kallia
I finished mine off line smithchick...so I would at least have a chance to enter them lol
9:06 am
smithchick
I do a lot of lurking when my hubby is home because it's faster than if I chat and he doesn't want me spending a lot of time.
9:06 am
pgprovos
No abe, that must be the one I need
9:07 am
sprite
Re7: tell the waiter what you want to eat again.
9:07 am
smithchick
That's a good idea, Kal...I should at least print of the grid for the times when I can't stay logged on.
9:07 am
Kallia
but thats ok sometimes isn't it? we all do that I guess
9:07 am
jbp
to put in order again
9:08 am
jbp
re7/28 where you go on a trip that
9:08 am
smithchick
Hey, jbp!
9:08 am
sprite
I think those that want to chat, must chat, those that want to lurk, must lurk, those that only want to play, must ignore the chat. This is for fun, right? Just do it as suits you.
9:08 am
jbp
hey smithchick
9:08 am
Kallia
oh jbp that is a little obvious
9:08 am
jbp
oh sorry Kallia. ;-)

9:08 am
Kallia

smithchick
Hey, Praes!

M3, I've just seen your disparagint remarks about weather in Vancouver. It may indeed be wet in the shadow of the coastal range, but I'll have you knbow we have a microclimate west of the mainland, record hours of sunshine (for Canada) every year
9:50 am
smithchick
Now hetty, don't get het up!:)

I just heard someone say that our Summer this year took place in the last week :)
Not to discourage you, nan, of course. If you are lucky, you have a few beautiful days here in a row. It happens :D
9:55 am

Prince Charles' late gorgeous wife, plus headwear spoken by a Cockney, plus part of old song - Da-do-***-***
9:59 am
sprite
And then pluralise.
10:00 am
hetty
cybernan, the term has something to do with science, so I'm not able to give a meaning. Start with a greek prefix (di + first vowel) and move on to a fasy walk for people or ponies in which you change the "t" to an "n"
10:00 am
sprite
Done! Can I help with clues before I leave?
10:00 am

I want to switch the positions of the r and the i!
10:06 am
hurshy
yes sprite, i don't believe i have any plural fish, i just checked.

why is Norse not a word?
10:06 am
jean1953
good afternoon everyone:)
10:07 am
hurshy
because you just capitalized it
10:07 am

Which one can you be missing then? Where the dragons live? :)
10:07 am
sprite
Bul, because it needs to be capitalized.
10:07 am
Bulasteve
ok then why is norse not a word... hehee
10:07 am
smithchick
When you get off of a ra4/7...Are you not dera4/7ing?

10:12 am
hurshy
sprite, can you tell me how many words are re-something where re is actually used as a prefix?
10:12 am
cybernan
nevermind, jbp -- Hurshy is so clever we make our clues for her a little more obscure.
10:12 am
abe79
great clue, sprite
10:12 am
smithchick
Have I ever mentioned that I hate vowels?
10:12 am

If you really did, you would be smthchck.

10:14 am
cybernan
3 more what, hurshy?
10:14 am
cybernan
thought you were looking for two b's!
10:15 am
hurshy
re's that use re as a prefix. i have a 4/5 combo, a 5/16 and a 7/32.... oh a found the b's as soon as sprite clued.
10:15 am
jbp
can you clue in a mortal as to the b words?
10:16 am
cybernan
make again
10:16 am
hurshy
if you go in a car as opposed to a plane, you go b* ****
10:16 am
sprite
Let's see. Make up your hair again and plural. Unwet again. Tell the waiter what you want to eat again. Cover with turf again. The combo where you stay on holiday. And the hairthing over again, but that isn't really a re as in re now, is it?
10:17 am
jbp
thanks Hursay & sprite!!!
10:17 am
hurshy
oh you're counting the holiday ones! wait what is the hair thing over again?
10:17 am
sprite
That's what you find behind a hearth, hurshy. I think it is a babblet.
10:18 am
cybernan
thanks for the help all --- must go and get the heavy cleaning done before I go for my manicure :) -- later
10:18 am
sprite
But the word looks like it should mean make over again again.
10:18 am
mattygroves
Not sure what you mean by the holiday clue...
10:18 am

I agree! :)
10:19 am
jbp
Bulasteve: heaven can wait?
10:20 am
hurshy
ok then i needn't worry about prefixes anymore... i think... unless ON... ?
10:20 am
Bulasteve
not Bulworth
10:20 am
sprite
matty: place frequented by people for relaxation or recreation, and plural. Re6/18 - 7/28.
10:20 am
sprite
No on as prefix.
10:21 am
jbp
just reached the halfway point
10:21 am
hurshy
well that is lovely. if only i didn't still have so many words left. :)
10:21 am
sprite
Yeah for jbp!
10:22 am
hurshy
sprite, i'm also missing an N, and don't need a plural fish...2 to do with proboscis... what might i need?
10:22 am
jbp
what warren beatty movie??
10:22 am
sprite
My favorite odd one for today is M5/20.
10:22 am
hurshy
that was one of the first words i got, sprite :)
10:23 am
sprite
Do you have the Ne7?
10:23 am
jbp
iindeed, sprite. thought I never would use that word again after a "politics of the middle east" class 20 years ago
10:23 am
hurshy
so you mean there are 2?
10:23 am
jbp
no ne, sorry]
10:23 am
sprite
There are two. One is a comparative.
10:23 am
jbp
and hurshy, what n-fish? how many letters?
10:23 am
hurshy
lol @ jbp, to think sprite would be asking for a clue at this late hour
10:24 am
smithchick
more of a geek for the ne7/32
10:24 am
hurshy
oh my, how fishy of me!
10:24 am

10:25 am

M-words: 1. have to. 2. have to-ic. 3. the 2 spoken by my little girl (who has no front teeth at the moment)
10:26 am
mattygroves
Yep - I have the first three - where each one adds one letter to the word previous - now after the final 5/12 Again - I've monkey typed around, and I'm sure I'll kick myself when I get it...
10:26 am
sprite
matty: take the first one. Pluralise. Then change last vowel.
10:27 am
hurshy
yay, 30 to go!
10:27 am
hurshy
i'm so glad you finished before i started to chat, sprite, so that i didn't have to be humiliated again.
10:27 am
mattygroves
Yep. I feel stupid. I'm sure I've seen that word before, as well.
10:28 am
sprite
I would never humiliate you. Wouldn't dream of it. Nor think of it. That's far beneath me. Really.
10:28 am
jbp
i still don't get the ei clue, sprite...
10:28 am
sprite
It is a babblet, matty, I agree totally. Strange one.
10:28 am
hurshy
i am disturbed that so many r's remain despite no more re-stupidheadprefixwords
10:29 am
jbp
is that the technical term, hurshy?
10:29 am
smithchick
I guess I need another clue for the mu5/20. I am d***.
10:29 am
jbp
ah, I monkey typed the ei one...thanks!
10:29 am
hurshy
it's what soldiers wear
10:30 am
hurshy
i mean, when they are out of uniform.
10:30 am
smithchick
Tighty Whities?
10:30 am
sprite
If soldiers are out of their uniforms, they are naked, I think.
10:31 am
smithchick
Boxer briefs?
10:31 am
hurshy
noooo.... this is the term for civilian dress when worn by soldiers.
10:31 am
smithchick
Speedos?

smithchick, you have the Mu5/18, right?
Say it without front teeth and change the spelling of the last vowel.
10:32 am

10:39 am

Okay, the i6s. One is extended eye one. The other one is plural of i5/12 decree of the Sultan.
10:39 am
smithchick
hey, aknitter...
10:39 am
aknitter
greetings chick
10:39 am
hurshy
decree of the sultan! aha! now if i can just figure out how to extend the eye one...
10:39 am
smithchick
TY, sprite...that leaves me with one i off the fourth row (or is that a column)
10:40 am
sprite
hurshy: only differs one vowel from the plural decree.
10:40 am
sprite
4th row 2nd column I'd say :)
10:40 am
jbp
what do you mean by extended eye one? si am so so so confused
10:40 am
hurshy
*blush* *stupid hurshy*
10:41 am
mab
just make the eye one plural, hursh.
10:41 am
mab
studpid word
10:41 am
hetty
jbp, I lost a message again. It's about mu5/20--can't figure your clue and am mystified, please help
10:41 am
hurshy
hey mab - no there was this six, it has an extra vowel... app all mailed?
10:41 am
smithchick
Hi, mab!
10:42 am
sprite
jbp: i4/5 part of the eye (when used in longer words)
i5/12 plural
i6/21 insert an extra vowel.
10:42 am
hurshy
am i really the only one who's heard the mu5/20 before?
10:42 am
jbp
the i words... decree of a sultan? what extended eye one???
10:43 am
mab
hi dear all. I knew mu, but I did'nt know the first part was a slang word for, you know.
10:43 am
mab
Is that brit-speak, jbp?
10:43 am
hurshy
yes, me too mab, and would rather have not known!!!
10:43 am
sprite
neither did I, mab. I feel educated by hurshy in this area :)
10:43 am
Sign
hurshy I thought it had an e in there
10:44 am
hurshy
spritey spritey aphrodite, i miss one T, what d'you suppose...?
10:44 am
jbp
ok, sprite does the i/4 have to do with one of the 7 deadlies?
10:44 am
hurshy
i haven't got any t7's so if there are any that's it
10:44 am
sprite
jbp: the sultan decree is ong angry or violent speech, usually of a censorious or denunciatory nature; a diatribe, minus first letter. Then pluralise.
10:45 am
mab
which o the deadlies starts with i???
10:45 am
hetty
I'm still lost in this dirty mu stuff.
10:45 am
sprite
hurshy: no t7s. Could it be T4/5 T + german out?
10:46 am
jbp
i'm sorry i'm so dense, but i think i'll have to consult my monkeus
10:46 am
hurshy
i dunno - i don't speak any german.
10:46 am
mab
oh, that one.
10:46 am
mab
hetty, think of mohammed for the mu.
10:46 am
sprite
hurshy: anagram of cars without o.
10:47 am
hurshy
but maybe, cause the 4/5's i have are greek letters, and like a boys name kinda, and walked.
10:47 am
hurshy
oh then i have that - silly sprite, greek letters i know.
10:47 am
sprite
The greek letters one I meant.
10:48 am
hurshy
i only have one ti...
10:48 am
sprite
Well, they are all pretty obvious, actually. No, I am NOT humiliating you. Do you have To + flower, the T6/18?
10:48 am
clairemcg
ani ideas any1?
10:48 am
hetty
mab, I'm thinking Mohammed, but he's not female and there's no "ali"
10:48 am
hurshy
yes i do have that sprite
10:48 am
sprite
hurshy: no problem, that one Ti is plural, so you will have just enough.
10:49 am
hurshy
that's my only t6
10:49 am
hurshy
where's atalante, she's full of ani ideas...
10:49 am
sprite
Then you need a plural, hurshy. Tr5/10 makes Tr6/18 too.
10:49 am
mab
moses supposes his toes's are ro4s, but moses supposes erroneously.
10:49 am
sprite
Wish I had a bit fewer ideas, actually.
10:50 am

Should it?
10:53 am
mab
that's french
10:53 am
jfarber
Damme, ye modernist! Ye olde spellings usually work!
10:54 am
jfarber
As in Ren Faire?
10:54 am
jbp
mab... um, but we've had other language stuff here too... at least faire is an archaic spelling in english. unlike some of the other words...
10:54 am

10:54 am

Darkover (Hawkmistress was my favourite) - and of course the short story books she edited - Sword and Sourceress...
2:42 pm

2:43 pm

I really liked the Heritage of Hastur. ANd I really liked some of the shorter sci-fi books she wrote like the Falcons of Narabelda. And Lythande
2:44 pm
Babbler
wow, I couldn't get in for ages!
I'll look for those books, thanks! I have 'Ancestors of Avalon' to read next... : )
2:44 pm
jbp
so 5/16, not the apology
2:44 pm
Atalante
and The Forest House is great too
2:44 pm
mattygroves
Thing that irritates me about MZB is that she's SOOO feminist, the agenda enters every book she writes. On the other hand, of course, Anne McCaffery has HER strong women all fall in love and get married and realise that all she needed was a strong man. There was no middle ground for those two in the eighties. Hey Babbler - How's Liege and Lief going?
2:45 pm
Kallia
me neither babbler...have emailed Dr God it's getting very frustrating
2:45 pm
Atalante
yeah ... but I think I'd rather that than McCaffrey-ism!
2:46 pm
mattygroves
Yah well. Still, the Dragonriders of Pern (the original series) was kinda cool. Anyone read Stephen R Donaldson?
2:46 pm
Charm
so5/16 - (a) so4/7 (not hard) + 1st vowel.
(b) so4/7 + sometime vowel.
2:46 pm
Babbler
hehe, Liege and Lief is going great. I've been mixing them up and now I'm on The Deserter. Another fave.
I agree about how feminist MZB is. And Guinevere is REALLY irritating me! LOL
2:46 pm
Atalante
I love Thomas Covenant. not so sure about his others ....

hurshy
woohoo, 2 left
2:47 pm
mattygroves
When first I deserted, I thought myself free, until my cruel comerade, informed against me...
2:47 pm
Atalante
but MZB's time of earlier writing was a very feminist time ... so I suppose its not surprising to see reflected in her writing
2:47 pm
hurshy
did musicmom leave? SMF, you here????
2:48 pm
abe79
hurshy, can you clue me on the st 6/21. not past of looking or walking? i'm desperate
