melonheadjujube

fresca - a refreshing drink made w/ grapefruit and no sugar added...ahhhh

12:25 am

Freckle

Okay, I just tried Lickety's page and it still shows the last board. Even AFTER I refreshed it. (Oh. I left and am now back again, too)

1:13 am

Wyrd

46 words and im getting sweepy!

1:13 am

jillibus

don't think lickety's done it yet

1:14 am

Nef

so how do you know how many K words there are then?

1:14 am

helenkeller

i too have 9 k's

1:14 am

jillibus

I only have 4 k's

1:14 am

sprite

I have 9 too now.
Nef: when you are pro, you have a stats panel that shows how many more from each tile.

1:14 am

cehess

done for the night at 125 I think.. don't seem to be making anymore progress, so I'll come back in the morning. Good luck and happy babbling everyone.

1:15 am

helenkeller

nef - those who are 'pro' know because we get a grid that tells how many words originiate from each tile

1:15 am

wassup

i have 10, but i assure you they aren't words...most of them anyway

1:15 am

helenkeller

bye cehess

1:16 am

Golux13

i'm up to 11 K's and I agree, most of them ain't words

1:16 am

Nef

DUH!! I did pay up and AM pro! I forgot and was playing with the window small so I could look for words in a 2nd window.

1:17 am

sprite

I have 10 now and most of them are more or less common...

1:17 am

sprite

LOL Nef!

1:17 am

Nef

kean

1:17 am

Nef

kane

1:17 am

Nef

OOOPS! Sorry

1:17 am

sprite

Hold it :)
Eh... why not 'wank'?

1:17 am

helenkeller

lol nef !

1:18 am

Nef

must be my bedtime now --- I was staring at the board too long

1:18 am

jillibus

nef -- they don't allow kean and i think it IS aword

1:18 am

FMitch

Sprite - it is there!!!

1:18 am

kierlex

my babble sure is slow, are you all having trouble, too

1:18 am

wassup

well nef. if you're going to do that, at least give me something i can steal. kean should be a word. it's a band! or maybe it's keen

1:18 am

Nef

I've noticed that they allow a lot of foreign words and won't allow either slang or brand names sometimes

1:19 am

sprite

It is there, but it won't take, FMitch! "Was not found in the dictionary", it claims.

1:19 am

jillibus

no problem with speed here

1:19 am

Nef

and it won't allow continents either

1:19 am

wassup

great icon keirlex

1:19 am

FMitch

oh thought it had but if you change a letter it will

1:20 am

helenkeller

yep - LOL keir

1:20 am

kierlex

and yours, too, wassup. I think that's what all the college kids think when they drive by my house and my kids are out playing =)

1:20 am

sprite

lol kierflex!

1:21 am

wassup

yeah, i stole an orange cone from a construction site that i put in the street when my kids are playing outside. seems to slow traffic. :)

1:22 am

kierlex

well jeez, we have a police car parked in our yard 75 percent of the time (hubby is cop) and that doesn't slow em down

1:22 am

helenkeller

one of my neighbors sons, 21, drove his car into a tree at 2 am, died, & she went on a crusade to have speed bumps put on our block

1:22 am

sprite

12 Ks and I found two absolute NONwords all by myself :)

1:23 am

sprite

That's sad, helen :(

1:23 am

kierlex

i want to stand there and throw a 'Resusci Annie' CPR doll out in front of a few cars and see if that freaks them out enough

1:23 am

helenkeller

well, it's sad that's how she coped with her grief, the accident didn't happen here - i didn't sign her petition - it's generally no more a problem here than anywhere else

1:23 am

wassup

oh man helen. that's awful. unfortunately speed bumps probably wouldn't have stopped him.

1:23 am

kierlex

we live at the top of a steep hill and the part in front of our house is gravel so people fly up and do cookies in front of our house.

1:24 am

wassup

lol kierlex

1:24 am

helenkeller

exactly wass!

1:24 am

kierlex

that is sad, helen

1:24 am

sprite

hihihi

1:24 am

helenkeller

eeeh, that sucks keir

1:24 am

wassup

he was 21 and at 2 am...hmmm. i'm just making an assumption that alcohol probably played a part?

1:25 am

helenkeller

she refused the autopsy - didn't want to know

1:25 am

kierlex

and its not just the college kids, the little old men are like speed freaks in their giant cards

1:25 am

kierlex

i mean cars

1:26 am

helenkeller

she also refused to have a wake for him, only a mass, the church was packed - young & popular - i always go to the cemetary afterward, but i didn't this time, wasy too many people

1:26 am

wassup

oh, well. i don't know what i'd be like if i lost a child. i'd probably go nuts and try to ban cars...

1:26 am

kierlex

hmm, odd that they didnt test his BAC anyway

1:26 am

Golux13

afro is not found in the dictionary? Puh-leeze

1:26 am

hpyhrted

but updo is ?????

1:27 am

sprite

I don't even want to think about how it is to lose your child. I cannot vouch for my sanity for sure.

1:27 am

kierlex

afro isn't but aiininooa probably is

1:27 am

wassup

it's a common crossword word too golux!

1:27 am

sprite

True, kierlex. Kainninoooa too.

1:27 am

helenkeller

yeah - i don't know how that didn't just automatically get done, maybe it did & she just lied to us all-

1:27 am

wassup

hi hannah

1:28 am

kierlex

and don't forget iiaeai and aooaiieai and iiooa

1:28 am

hannah lou

1:28 am

helenkeller

it is very sad - her husband, who drank alot before, now drinks all the time

1:28 am

sprite

I think it was done, but she might not want to know. She must have been torn between grieve, guild and anger enough as it were.

1:28 am

wassup

great, and you?

1:28 am

kierlex

i would suspect that helen but i am jaded

1:28 am

helenkeller

i must go switch laundry, brb

1:29 am

wassup

oh, me too helen. brb

1:29 am

hannah lou

im grd thanx

1:29 am

helenkeller

yes right sprite, i think that sums up that situation very well

1:29 am

jillibus

the one that really gets me here I've mentioned before - up in the right corner is c**e, but it won't let you put an s on the end for a perfectly good and common word -- says it's not in the dictionary

1:29 am

kierlex

well it wouldn't make it any easier if he was found to be sober or not

1:30 am

kaurie

this puzzle seems to skew to the right, yet i keep trying phantom words on the left

1:30 am

Golux13

i think it does, jillibus... if you mean as in c*** package

1:30 am

Golux13

i have c*** package and c***s

1:31 am

Golux13

aria

1:31 am

Golux13

area

1:31 am

jillibus

it lets you have the package, but don't add an s on the end

1:31 am

Golux13

eeek! Sorry

1:31 am

Golux13

1:31 am

Golux13

That's so nice about babble, you can come back to it any time you have the chance :)

1:41 am

louie29

lol

1:42 am

Nef

that's true, Sprite. There are other games that if you leave the board, you lose.

1:42 am

kierlex

it's about this trip to south america by french scientists in the 1500s and how they are travelling through all the amazon and various places to do these measurements to figure out if the world is round or what

1:42 am

wassup

wow, this is the lamest apple i've ever had.

1:43 am

kierlex

and then one of them marries this 'native' woman and eventually after 20 years of separation from her husband who was detained on opposite sides of the country she travelled down the amazon to meet him

1:43 am

sprite

Sounds good, kier, thanks for the tip!

1:43 am

kierlex

and wandered in the jungle all alone for weeks and weeks.

1:43 am

kierlex

and it is a true story, too.

1:43 am

wassup

1:44 am

1:45 am

Nef

Why Kier? Do you feel any different today than you did yesterday?

1:45 am

Nef

once you hit 40, it feels no different than 39 either

1:45 am

sprite

Happy birthday kierlex! I will be 40 this year. Enjoy being 39 for a whole year longer, if 40 scares you ;)

1:45 am

kierlex

1:46 am

Oh, and happy birthday to you too.

1:47 am

Nef

sorry again. I'll stay out of chat now so I stop doing that

1:47 am

sprite

How healthy can it be when it tastes like s..t? Throw it away and have something unhealthy that you enjoy eating. Works miracles for how your body reacts to it, lol.

1:48 am

kierlex

Hi Haz. We have had clouds and rain for the last week, and I gotta say - I like it! (due to we need the rain). I'm normally a summer person but I'm lapping up the cold and wet - sorta makes life cozy.

3:26 am

Haz1558

Jemma - you should be able to get lots of words from the square towards the right containing the letters sare - I've got 7 from them and there may be more.

3:27 am

Jemma444

Hi FMitch. Sorry to welcome you with that little tantrum

5:14 am

I'd like to know why it doesn't take "seratonin" but accepts stuff like that sa9/sa8

5:14 am

KittyVane

and welcome FMitch

5:14 am

amandacath

Ahhh, you're right Eva - sometimes google is misleading. Too many people put up website with misspellings in them...

5:15 am

Hi Jean

well-got 99 without too much trouble, but have been avoiding the vowels and now have no choice but to face them

5:21 am

nothing but chilly rain here hannah, for the past month. I like your icon!

5:22 am

FMitch

Ah but knock off the last letter Kitty

5:22 am

hannah lou

thanx its been relly hot all week and on tuseday we r goin to have a heat wave

5:23 am

FMitch

It's going to get warmer hannah?!?! OMG it's 30 today as it is!!

5:23 am

KittyVane

ooh, thank you FMitch!

5:23 am

FMitch

Eva - your weather is it usual for this time of year?

5:23 am

Eva

have there been any puzzles without that bizarre greek temple?

5:24 am

Atalante

not many!

5:25 am

hannah lou

it relly hot and i dont wont a heat wave coz it will be even hotter

5:26 am

Eva

FMithc-this is not usual at all. We had a weirdly warm winter, a phenomenally beautiful April, which is usually the rainiest month (April showers bring May flowers) and then rain I think for 28 out of the last 31 days, so something like that. Record flooding in NY and several other places. This rainis probably a fluke, but the warming is not and is scary. Vermont is not usually known for being a tropical clime. May and June are usually sunny and mild at least half the time

5:27 am

JMann

what does that greek temple start with again. i remember it was in yesterday's as well

5:27 am

Eva

The winters here are long and fairly harsh, and what gets us through is the prospect of spring and especially early summer-so to go through winter and then have all this rain is definitely wearing on people

5:27 am

Eva

the greek temple starts with n

5:28 am

amandacath

the greek temple is an na4/4, jmann - remember it, it shows up repeatedly.

5:28 am

Eva

sprry for all the complaining. It's not like we have killer monsoons are quakes or anything. Just grizzle

5:28 am

FMitch

very topsy turvey Eva, hence your cry for a vacation earlier!

5:28 am

JMann

thanks eva and amanda

5:36 am

amandacath

Bah! List-time for me. I want to go enjoy the sunshine and I just can't leave before I've finished the grid!

5:36 am

jo_jo

any clues for the last an5/10?

5:37 am

JMann

which A and which N are you talking about?

5:39 am

pinecone05

think of the veggie with layers and change the first letter to an a...that is an an 5/10

5:39 am

jo_jo

the last 'an' on lickteys list

5:41 am

jo_jo

i have that one pine

5:43 am

amandacath

Just found it jo-jo. It's latin plural for the one 4/4 before it

5:43 am

KittyVane

Jo_jo, the an5 you're looking for means "A name given to either of the projecting ends of Saturn's ring."

5:45 am

pinecone05

thanks kitty vane ....I got it

5:46 am

KittyVane

You're welcome Pine

5:58 am

Atalante

I saw a sign to Littleport yesterday! LOL. We were at Sutton Hoo and I (stupidly) went to sleep leaving my dear husband to navigate his way back to the M25.. and when I woke up we were in Newmarket. *sigh*

5:58 am

FMitch

ROFL Atalante!!

5:59 am

Atalante

all he had to do was stay on the A12! it took him straight to the M25!!!

6:00 am

mattygroves

Damn. For some reason, I can't get into lickety's page here - only at work.

6:01 am

FMitch

mm - I dont feel so bad at not getting him then as I have no idea

matty can you get into babblers anon in the friends links (or did we try that last time)?

6:03 am

mattygroves

I'm in babblers anon - just can't get into lickety. If I were going to be spending hours at this, I'd copy the list into Excel, but we're going out soon.

6:04 am

FMitch

use brandyjacks list it's under general and then stats if I remember correctly

6:04 am

6:10 am

dom

more detail

6:10 am

FMitch

why do you try clicking on one of them?

6:10 am

Atalante

no, its not - sorry! It translates as "heart of flame" though, so its utterly appropriate! F's sword doesn't have a name :(

6:10 am

Atalante

(in Tolkien's work)

6:10 am

movieman

egm - click on them, and it tells you what the words mean......

6:14 am

Atalante

matty - remember that game you used to get on old computers where a ball would bounce off a wall and come back and you'd hit it and it would go off again? pretend your word is that ball and go diagonally till to hit the end and bounce back 1 square

8:17 am

Well, you are right about chat vs. logging in the words... this game takes serious concentration..

8:18 am

Aloyisius

But it is SO much fun to chat!

8:19 am

FMitch

LOL Aloy, love it when a thread gets picked up on in the log, you never quite know where it's going to end up.

8:20 am

Aloyisius

8:20 am

licketySplitAUS

kklin- refresh to see what you comment did ;-)

8:24 am

licketySplitAUS

8:26 am

lickety...I refreshed....but I am not sure I see a change. Also wanted to tell you that it is great that I can go out and come back in and everything is saved! Thanks...

8:26 am

licketySplitAUS

kklin - there should be a change with the way the letter look - in the grid

8:27 am

bookgrrl

i like it, lickety...only change i would make is to allow [enter] in lieu of clicking on Add Word. thanks for your inventiveness. i also like the clickable letters.

8:27 am

licketySplitAUS

and thank you for appreciating the saved words! That was tricky to work out how, but pretty easy to get going after that.

8:28 am

licketySplitAUS

bookgirl - firefox fix for that coming soon hopefully, ie is ok

8:28 am

bookgrrl

ah, thanks lickety; i wondered if it might be a browser issue.

8:28 am

FMitch

OMG Lickety - just been back in and seen that you can click on the letters!!!! wow

8:28 am

pabtrek

lickety, i'm using enter at the add words with no problems

8:29 am

licketySplitAUS

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeetttt, remember that this is all to help gr_god at playbabble ok - just making this game more fun.

8:29 am

kkiln

lickety--- definitely a change with the way the letters look....I thought you were referring to the number value on the letters. By the way, am using Firefox without any problems.

8:30 am

FMitch

8:31 am

8:44 am

Yes, I often miss the easy ones in my search for the obscure ones.

8:46 am

FMitch

8:47 am

Charm

lol

8:49 am

Aloyisius

I can't see ta6/18.. I hope it is obscure and not a fishy word..

8:50 am

Charm

ta6/18 - add a vowel to the end of the ta5/10 (bones of the foot). No fish....

8:51 am

Aloyisius

oh, no wonder.. I was going left when I should have gone UP.. ty, Charm

Charm -- on the sa8 andsa9.... I found the SA8, but it does not accept the vowel for the SA9...I think there are only three possibilities fo rthe vowel.

9:08 am

Aloyisius

sounds like a cross between "pale" and the layered veggie...

9:08 am

Charm

kkiln - go up for a vowel.

9:09 am

hi bex!

12:26 pm

stidmama

hi sha!

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

bex777

12:27 pm

shirin

well, futbol/soccer is pretty big here

12:27 pm

stidmama

I think both teams are playing well. I half want Mexico to win, and I half want Iran to win.

12:28 pm

stidmama

what race did you run bex? did you do well?

12:28 pm

shirin

I have a bet going so I picked Iran and am hoping they win

12:28 pm

Uncagain

Soccer has been an emerging sport in the USA for , what, 30 years now. It starts out popular with the little kids, but they mostly dont stay with it

12:29 pm

bex777

i ran a 100meters final that i qualified for a few weeks ago and came 4th then some idiot talked me into doing a 400m but i felt so ill after and i finihsed 7th there

12:30 pm

shirin

I just heard they almost forbade Iran to participate with all the controversy going on

12:30 pm

stidmama

oh bex -- good for you for running. I think that's probably one of the most fun sports -- we watched the Belmont (horses) yesterday, and whether horse or human, it is always a treat to see such athletes! (I can't run because of arthritis)

12:30 pm

rolin

politics has no place in sport

12:30 pm

12:32 pm

rolin

yeah atalante..youre right...and its not good...athletes and the like work so hard for their sport..they shouldnt be hassled by politicians trying to use them..

12:32 pm

Vicuna

hurshy, your faith is touching. But in addition to being well behind shutterbug, I also have kids who may or may not be napping and a husband who is currently trying to get me to play World of Warcraft with him (for the first time ever), so I don't think I'll be searching very steadily this afternoon.

1:33 pm

shutterbug

nevermind, saw it just as I tyoed that.

1:34 pm

hurshy

hmm... give the kid a sedative and tell hubby not today

hurshy

1:35 pm

shutterbug

Vicuna

1:35 pm

hurshy

i WAS being nice. my sister would have said "punch him in the face!"

1:36 pm

shutterbug

LOL>

1:36 pm

Vicuna

And has your sister ever punched her (or your) husband in the face, hurshy?

1:37 pm

hurshy

i don't think she's ever punched anyone in the face - she just offers it as the solution to every problem of human interaction

1:37 pm

shutterbug

1st no 6/27?

1:37 pm

hurshy

if only i could get her to babble... she's so entertaining

1:37 pm

hurshy

hmm these t's are rather pesky

1:38 pm

shutterbug

Oh, come on, wont she play too?

1:38 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm... Maybe if you just punched her she would be convinced to play!

1:38 pm

hurshy

no she doesn't want to babble - too many weird words

1:38 pm

shutterbug

Oh, come on, I play so I can learn new words.

1:39 pm

shutterbug

1:39 pm

hurshy

whereas i say to the weird words, a la daniel day lewis, "stay alive, no matter what occurs. i WILL find you."

1:39 pm

hurshy

yes shutter, if you don't like something you're a no6/27

1:41 pm

shutterbug

cant figure it out.

1:41 pm

spellit

Only one no6/27, the other is no6/30

1:42 pm

shutterbug

I realized that after I typed it spellit.

1:42 pm

hurshy

like apparently everyone here is a no6/27 of "the last of the mohicans"

1:42 pm

shutterbug

but I need the 6/27

1:42 pm

spellit

Think of what keeps you cool in a heatwave

1:42 pm

shutterbug

what is a mohican

1:42 pm

spellit

ok

1:43 pm

hurshy

a mohican is a member of a certain indian tribe

1:43 pm

Vicuna

shutterbug, it's got that negative prefix in fron tof a word for someone who really likes something.

1:43 pm

spellit

197 words and 2271 pts today and fireworks at last

1:43 pm

hurshy

the last of the mohicans is a novel by james fenimore cooper

1:43 pm

hurshy

1:44 pm

Vicuna

Natty Bumppo being the unlikely name of our hero.

1:44 pm

shutterbug

1:44 pm

shutterbug

Hey, where did you here of babble?

1:46 pm

spellit

We prattle on and on and give clues where we can -

1:46 pm

Vicuna

Sudokuaddict, there are two elements to the chat. One is to give each other clues and tips to help each other find words. the other is just to chat and cannot possibly be explained.

1:46 pm

hurshy

i think sudokuaddict meant either a) what's something like no6/27 mean or b) what on earth is hurshy going on about?

1:46 pm

Sudokuaddict

What is no6/27 mean for example

1:46 pm

shutterbug

Sudokuaddict, where did you hear of babble?

1:47 pm

maka

playing for the first time

1:47 pm

maka

any pointers?

1:47 pm

shutterbug

No6/27 means a six letter word that is worth 27 points.

1:47 pm

Vicuna

Good, becuase THAT we can explain. no are the first two letters of a word six letters long, adding up to a total of 27 points.

1:47 pm

spellit

no = first 2 letters of word, 6 = no. of letters, 27 - points value. It's all in the Help file

1:47 pm

fig

oaties should be a word

2:06 pm

FMitch

It's a good babble grid today but you need to be on your toes and use all your skill for the hidden real words and the babble ones too.
And with that I am off until the next one.

2:06 pm

Vicuna

Oh, oops. Guilty as charged, hurchy.

2:06 pm

Vicuna

(By which I meant hurshy)

2:07 pm

Minveryork

That was so easy!I can't believe I didn't see that one

2:07 pm

hurshy

one of my toes is numb, is that why it's harder...

2:07 pm

maka

fmitch: what do you mean "real words and babble ones too"?

2:07 pm

Uneaixoise

a SUNDAY freudian slip . . .

2:07 pm

hurshy

maka - there are a lot of crazy words in babble that most of us have never heard of.

2:08 pm

FMitch

maka - you probably haven't played that much if you ask that question.

2:08 pm

maka

ah, ok

2:08 pm

hurshy

but we find them anyway by a process known as monkeytyping

2:08 pm

Vicuna

Your toe is going to be harder only if it's frozen solid.

2:08 pm

maka

ah, ok

2:08 pm

FMitch

Thanks hurshy

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

fr6/27 is the french word for strawberry

2:09 pm

shutterbug

no, min, not me.

2:10 pm

Vicuna

Maka, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single word!

2:10 pm

shutterbug

I'm just having a hard time finding them.

2:10 pm

Judi

pabtrek: hullabaloo (fr6/27)

2:10 pm

maka

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

judi, that's fr5/30 , isn't it?

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

i mean fr6/30

2:10 pm

maka

<nod> i'm a writer, so word games appeal to me. i've long played scrabble and occasionally play boggle, so i figred this was right up my alley

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

ah, an addict in the making!!

2:11 pm

Minveryork

Yeah, me too! I only have 69 words so far.The board looks easy with the vowels and r and s, but it is not.

2:11 pm

hurshy

woohoo there's an fr6/30??!

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

yes!

2:11 pm

Judi

maka: fr6/30 is like an argument, or a near riot.

2:11 pm

hurshy

oh my what a large fish i need now

2:11 pm

bookgrrl

maka--check out angelsong's babble page (one of the links at the bottom) and you'll find answers to more questions than you knew you had!

2:11 pm

hurshy

no maka means what's the system

2:11 pm

Vicuna

You definitely belong here, then, Maka! Just don't be upset when the dictionary used for this game proves utterly ridiculous.

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

a brouhaha, as it were

2:11 pm

hurshy

fr 6/27 is a word that starts with fr, 6 letters, 27 points

2:12 pm

2:12 pm

hurshy

please, someone give me a fish

2:12 pm

Vicuna

2:12 pm

loading that page, and yes, i was trying to understand the system

2:12 pm

Vicuna

2:12 pm

Uneaixoise

take it away, hursh!

2:12 pm

Vicuna

2:13 pm

hurshy

when we find an easy word that we should have seen before we hit ourselves with fish.

2:13 pm

fig

give a man a fish...he eats for a day. teach a man to fish, he eats fo ra lifetime. i guess fishing means , well HELP ME GET a word

2:13 pm

Vicuna

What? Serious chat box problems. please ignore anything with a red and yellow face beside it.

2:13 pm

Uneaixoise

it's a monty python thing, right?

2:13 pm

hurshy

it's anj's creation, the fish system

2:13 pm

fig

OR, YEAH, the hit yourself in the face witha fish....i was going kinda literal. duh. sorry

2:13 pm

ls1

majmom - kn+"they exist" minus last vowel

2:13 pm

hurshy

well he might have got it from monty python

2:13 pm

Minveryork

kn 4/8 + present tense of to be in the third person

2:14 pm

hurshy

there's the pollock of plurality and past tense

2:14 pm

hurshy

the haddock of obviousness

2:14 pm

hurshy

the cod of d'oh!

2:14 pm

Minveryork

kn 5/18 pluralize the first kn 4/8

2:14 pm

hurshy

etc

2:15 pm

hurshy

so we must adapt the saying... "give a man a fish, and he can hit himself for his stupidity"

2:15 pm

maka

ugh, the lag!

2:16 pm

Minveryork

I get it!I have had to hit myself with fish many times!

2:16 pm

hurshy

"give a woman a fish, and she'll do it for him"

2:17 pm

majmom

2:22 pm

2:22 pm

hurshy

2:22 pm

maka

hurshy: yes, i do

2:22 pm

shutterbug

or am I too far ahead?

2:22 pm

bookgrrl

thanks, but no, shutterbug; i'm just playing as i take breaks from reading.

2:22 pm

shutterbug

Ok, thats fine.

2:22 pm

hurshy

which might you seek, maka?

2:23 pm

shutterbug

hurshy, are you done yet?

2:23 pm

hurshy

no shutterbug, why do you think i'm trying to elicit clue requests for R, S, T, and W?

2:23 pm

marjo34

hurshy i could use some help with W i have 13 of the 16

2:24 pm

gwenski

Sure -- I just got started, so I'll take any you want to give! By the way, I thought 'fresca' was some sort of large mural, but the dictionary didn't like it. Am I confusing it with another common word?

2:24 pm

shutterbug

I didnt know why hurshy.

2:24 pm

bookgrrl

gwenski--that's fresco.

2:24 pm

gwenski

Ahh. Thanks.

2:24 pm

maka

gwen: you're thinking of a fresco, i think - mural painted on wet plaster.

2:25 pm

hurshy

people do not understand. you see hurshy is not using the list. therefore if someone says "wo6/42?" or something then i can find it for them, whilst simultaneously getting the word myself

2:25 pm

Uncagain

I think u could paint a fresco with a fresca

2:25 pm

hurshy

fresca is a brand of soda

2:25 pm

maka

fresca is italian for "fresh", i think.

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

and spanish

2:26 pm

gwenski

Now that's an interesting idea, uncagain!

2:26 pm

Vicuna

Ummm... Is it true that no one has made a comment for over ten minutes, or is there something wierd with my chat box?

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

spanish for cool

2:26 pm

hurshy

something weird with your chat box but you probably can't see me telling you that

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

vicuna, you have a defective chat box

2:26 pm

gwenski

Lots of chat going on, Vicuna

2:26 pm

maka

something weird, vic

2:26 pm

Nef

Vicuna, you're chatbox isn't working

LeslieAnn

4:40 pm

LeslieAnn

4:40 pm

4:42 pm

Dachef

Leslie. Ta. Severely chastising myself with a fish as we speak. (although not too much cos last time I went blind).

4:42 pm

LeslieAnn

that's a problem

4:43 pm

LeslieAnn

do you have the n's from the left one? (i'm just asking b/c i don't)

4:43 pm

FranMag

angela, dachef clued it below, take the 4/8 that means armed conflicts and change the 3rd letter to another consonant

4:43 pm

itsonme

nvm, found it

4:43 pm

FranMag

lol dachef!

4:43 pm

Dachef

Leslie - top one or botton one?

4:43 pm

itsonme

I need...2nd wo4/8 and the last wo

4:44 pm

Dachef

The top one is ni + ending of veg that makes you cry + plural

4:44 pm

LeslieAnn

whoops, the 1st column, 2nd row

4:44 pm

marjo34

itsonme / past tense of win plural // do you have the 3rd wo 4/8

4:44 pm

LeslieAnn

ah thanks. now i only need 2 n's as well :)

4:45 pm

itsonme

I have that marjo... I need the 3rd and last wo

4:45 pm

Dachef

I have 13ta's, 7ti's, 11to's and 2tw's. Missing 3 - any ideas?

4:45 pm

FranMag

angela, what you did with clothes is the 2nd wo4/8

4:45 pm

LeslieAnn

i have 8 ti's, though still missing six words

4:46 pm

hetty

The no's are my frustration right now. Who says "norse" isn't a word? And why are so many possibilities like dead ends? Grrrr.

4:46 pm

itsonme

thank you fran, now I just need the last wo

4:46 pm

Uneaixoise

there are 8 ti's

4:46 pm

FranMag

change last letter for the 3rd and more bad for the last wo5/18

4:46 pm

LeslieAnn

the rest i have less than you, dachef

4:46 pm

itsonme

yeah, Hetty I thought norse shoulda been one too

4:46 pm

Dachef

hetty - this grid is difficult because of that. Usually you can go in one direction and find a load of words, but on this grid you have to twist unaturally.

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

there are 13 to's

4:47 pm

LeslieAnn

dachef, do you have the middle of your body with a different vowel on the end?

4:47 pm

Dachef

Mind you, twisting un-naturally can also be fun, providing you are with a willing partner!!

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

dachef, you have all the tw's and ta's

4:47 pm

itsonme

thank you Fran!!

4:47 pm

aknitter

is there a clue for the 9 letter word? please and thank you

4:47 pm

Dachef

Leslie, yeah, got that one.

4:48 pm

Dachef

searching for 2to's and 1 ti.....

4:48 pm

debbinla

greetings fellow babblers - how's everyone today?

4:48 pm

LeslieAnn

the ti's are fairly easy, dachef... do you have what goes on your car with a different last vowel?

4:48 pm

LeslieAnn

hey debb!

4:48 pm

mymuseisme

hi debb

4:48 pm

jean1953

hello debbinia

4:48 pm

stidmama

debb hi!

4:48 pm

Uneaixoise

sa + *** Angelica (drink) + number of letter in this word

4:48 pm

FranMag

hi aknitter, it starts like an expensive yellow spice and ends with a number (before 10)

4:49 pm

hetty

I used to love to twist--with any kind of partner--in the palmy days of my youth. Now a slow waltz is as muh as i can manage. Can't waltz thro' this grid though

4:49 pm

Uneaixoise

*letters

4:50 pm

FranMag

when you get the 9 aknitter, take the last letter off and it's an 8

4:50 pm

FranMag

cute hetty!

4:50 pm

aknitter

aren't there 2 f's in that spice?

4:50 pm

Uneaixoise

not in Babble :-)

4:51 pm

FranMag

aknitter, sounds like it, only one f and an a instead of o

4:51 pm

debbinla

it's a babble spelling

4:52 pm

itsonme

4:52 pm

aknitter

4:52 pm

Mary

debbinla

4:53 pm

FranMag

4:53 pm

Dachef

mary - all the ki's have the same 3rd letter - just change the vowel at the end!

4:53 pm

hetty

Was deflected by the excellent clues for sa8 and sa9. Well done, you accomplished babblers

4:53 pm

stidmama

okay, tired and taking abreak. later all!

4:54 pm

debbinla

4:54 pm

Mary

sorry, the ki4/8 I think is either the second or third ki. I have the one which is currency.

4:54 pm

FranMag

last ki4/8 is your relatives, the other 3 all start the same with different last letters

4:54 pm

itsonme

i am going to come back to that later...how about the 9 letter?

4:54 pm

FranMag

mary, it ends in another vowel

4:55 pm

FranMag

itsonme

4:56 pm

itsonme

JeeWhiz

tijani

4:57 pm

Uneaixoise

4:57 pm

debbinla

4:57 pm

Uneaixoise

marjo, there are 4 an4/4's

4:57 pm

aknitter

4:59 pm

itsonme

I am a no**** of teams that I dont like

4:59 pm

Dachef

4:59 pm

aknitter

and a BIG HISS to anniebrook

4:59 pm

aknitter

4:59 pm

FranMag

une, the interesting thing is that is exactly what the plastic means! i guess the brand name is from the substance that it's made from

5:00 pm

aknitter

ooops

5:00 pm

Uneaixoise

2nd ti5 is plural of ti4/4 above it

5:00 pm

LeslieAnn

the no 6 - first three letters "not" then if you need to cool off, you can turn on your ***

5:00 pm

Dachef

middle kn - you're gonna tie yourself in a kn** looking for this one!

5:00 pm

stidmama

oh, quick note, if anyone wants to see the current totals of the myers briggs thingy (and how we compare so far to the general population...) there is a link in my profile. *disappears in a puff of rose petals*

5:00 pm

aknitter

that's what i get for being a smart A**

5:00 pm

LeslieAnn

no hissing here!

5:00 pm

FranMag

dachef, what a princess wears on her head

5:00 pm

debbinla

are you missing the kn - wha you do when you tie your shoes?

5:00 pm

LeslieAnn

wow, rose petals, those are expensive

5:00 pm

Anniebrook

aknitter, I understand, you being a Red Sox rooter !!

5:01 pm

Uneaixoise

franmag that's the second ti5

5:01 pm

Dachef

Une - I think thats the first one. The one above the one I want is already a plural.

5:01 pm

aknitter

only kidding annie, not really hissing at you just the yankees

5:01 pm

Uneaixoise

i mean the princess wear is the first one

5:01 pm

Dachef

Im missing the one that come between the things you wear around your neck and the things on a wheel of a car.

5:01 pm

Anniebrook

taken lightly and in good humor, aknitter

5:01 pm

hetty

Thanks debbina. I's all this twisting after no's, ties me up in kn***

5:01 pm

JeeWhiz

Stidmama, I am ISTJ, just in case you are still collecting data.

5:02 pm

LeslieAnn

there are only 3 ti5s - what a princess wears, the plural of layers, and the plural of what's on your car

5:02 pm

Uneaixoise

well, i've got all the t's and the second ti5 is the plural of ti4/4, then the third one is the plural of the ti4/4 above it also

5:02 pm

FranMag

dachef, there isn't one there, besides the princess thing the other ti5/10s are all plurals

5:02 pm

marjo34
