Cat9x

I keep trying Yeshua , but it's a proper noun. Can't seem to get it through my head. Morning all!

2:12 am

libarebel

2:16 am

mattygroves

How's the grid (tap-tap)?

2:16 am

Katrine925

This is the funnest game I ever played!!!!

2:17 am

Unicorn

interesting my minds only about half on it though

2:17 am

Atalante

not toooo bad so far

2:17 am

libarebel

googled root word for fe6/33-- surprised that 1st def was otherworldly!

2:17 am

Cat9x

hmmm, won't allow bosc, I know it as a type of pear.

2:18 am

libarebel

so, fe6/33-- most otherworldly!

2:19 am

libarebel

bosc may be a proper name-- blast Enable!

2:19 am

Cat9x

I know, I'm going to check google and see.

2:19 am

Katrine925

There's a word that is NOT in the dictionary- of4/9- rhymes with the beginning of our National Anthem....

2:20 am

brumbjorn

bosc is a type of pear I thought...

2:20 am

brumbjorn

anyone have the be 7/40?

2:20 am

knutmeg

bosc is a Brand of pear, not a type of pear

2:20 am

Cat9x

Guess it is, here is what I found...The Bosc is native to Belgium and has distinctive, thick, brown to yellow-brown, non-shiny russet skin. This pear has an obvious neck and distinctly

2:21 am

Kateq

be 7=woman's name in the plural--name for a gun or gold club

2:21 am

knutmeg

(sorry, work at a grocery store, need to know these things)

2:21 am

libarebel

hmmm, so it's a proper noun, cat?

2:21 am

Kateq

golf not gold LOL

2:21 am

Katrine925

begins with Jesus' birthplace....

2:21 am

libarebel

ty for your research, cat! :)

2:22 am

Cat9x

Looks that way Lib. Thanks knut :)

2:22 am

jillibus

katrine -- you're a wonder, finishing so soon! And thaks for the of** -- there are many like that, not in the dic, groan

2:22 am

brumbjorn

got it - ty

2:22 am

knutmeg

you're welcome, cat, liba

2:23 am

libarebel

a region defines a brand-- I think not!

2:23 am

Katrine925

T Y & Y W!!!!!

2:24 am

M3

just dropped in to see what the grid is like today!!! PH MY . how's everyone else getting on with it. Morning all fallow babblions

2:24 am

libarebel

the region is probably the proper noun...

2:24 am

Cat9x

Must bre Lib, but I swear I have seen them advertised in the paper as bosc, not proper.

2:25 am

Cat9x

crest

2:25 am

Cat9x

yikes, sorry!!!

2:25 am

libarebel

yes, cat, me too!

2:26 am

Cat9x

Oh well, enable won't allow it either way :)

2:26 am

knutmeg

sorry, liba we have bosc pears that look just like bosc pears but are not called bosc pears. they have a different PLU number and everything. The Bosc name on the pear is the brand of pear.

2:26 am

libarebel

bosc is not a company name or brand!

2:27 am

brumbjorn

*digs out her canning books* bosc is not capitalized in my books... hrm...

2:27 am

libarebel

a company took the name of a region where those pears are grown?

2:27 am

libarebel

how awful!

2:27 am

libarebel

ty, brumb!!!

2:28 am

Katrine925

I want to repeat what I said earlier- there is a word that is NOT in the Enable Dictionary- it's of4/9 and rhymes with the beginning of the National Anthem....

2:28 am

libarebel

hmmm...

2:28 am

Unicorn

ty Kat

2:29 am

knutmeg

I'm not gonna argue about it. Tired, sleepy, and who knows, working in the grocery industry for so many years could have just brainwashed me.

2:29 am

libarebel

I don't believe everything I read on fruit tags...

2:30 am

brumbjorn

Didn't I red somewhere that they are trying to brand "Feta" as only being produced in Greece?

2:30 am

knutmeg

proper name of the fruit is Bosc pear, the generic name is pear. Bosc being a proper descriptive word, won't work in the puzzle. Proper noun and all, is all.

2:30 am

jillibus

that of4/9 katrine refers to is in the dictionary when you click on the question mark, and it's a disparaging term for a while person

2:30 am

libarebel

could be-- Feta but cheese could stll be called feta...

2:30 am

Kateq

actually the "of" word is in the standard dictionary--is slang for a white person

2:31 am

Kateq

yes--to treat the word feta like the word champagne

2:31 am

libarebel

got that-- I'm the white half of a zebra! :D

2:31 am

Katrine925

TY for clearing that up for me...I couldn't find it on Lickety's A-Z list....

2:32 am

libarebel

exactly, kateq!

2:32 am

knutmeg

well, goodnight, everyone!! I'm finished and apparently too tired to hold a conversation. :-P~ Have fun, its a great puzzle!

2:33 am

Amazing, knut, and congrats!

2:47 am

Cat9x

Hi Ata ! Hi Trouble :) That is Trouble, correct?

2:48 am

Atalante

2:50 am

Cat9x

Awww! What a cutie! Looks like my Peanut!

2:51 am

Haz1558

Wonderful, the of4/9 babblet is there.

2:51 am

jillibus

All you cat people -- if you haven't seen the 16 haikus, let me know your email addresses (mine is in the profle) and I'll send them -- they're right on!

2:52 am

Cat9x

Peanut, or Peanutty as I call her, has a little peanut shaped beige spot on top of her head, and when I first got her, I'd say, aww, looks like you have a peanut on your head! :) Thats how she was named Peanut!

2:52 am

Cat9x

I haven't seen them jilli, please email to me :) My email should be in my profile, I added it earlier, thank you!

2:52 am

Atalante

Sily should really be called Diamond - she has this unique little diamond in pale fur on her back

2:54 am

Cat9x

I don't know how it is with you Ata, but most of mine got their names by what first popped out of my mouth when I saw them, or spent some time with them. I have one names Pester, or the Pestmeister, can ya guess why? LOL Another names Squishy, when I first found her, I said, Ohh whata cute little squishy face! lol

2:56 am

Cat9x

One named Booger, lol. Was so funny when the vet would come out and say, I'll see Booger Johnston now, all you would hear is titters from the gallery lol

2:56 am

Atalante

I either put a lot of thought into it, or no thought whatsoever. My ginger cat was Gingernut lol. But Sily is Silverclaw, which is another name for Titania, queen of the fairies. It just seemed to suit her!

2:56 am

Cat9x

It does suit her! Beautiful name for a beautiful feline!

2:57 am

Cat9x

Gingernut, LOL Thats cute!

2:57 am

brumbjorn

Great cat names :)

2:58 am

Unicorn

lol my cats name is mouse

2:58 am

Cat9x

Booger was aptly named because he was such a little Booger. My Son nmaed him smokey, but I called him little booger so much, that it took and now thats what evceryone calls the little booger :)

2:58 am

Cat9x

Thanks brum :)

2:58 am

marso

2:58 am

jillibus

Cat9x, I just emailed the haikus to you

2:58 am

Unicorn

2:58 am

Cat9x

2:59 am

Cat9x

thanks jilli! I'll go read now :)

2:59 am

candy

have any of you cat people any suggestions on how to keep my neighbours cats out of my garden.

2:59 am

jillibus

love that Mouse cat, unicorn!

2:59 am

Unicorn

my neibers kept wondering why we were calling a mouse LOL

3:00 am

Atalante

*refresh for cute kit pic*

3:00 am

Unicorn

ive heard... several things but it depends on the type of things grown and the cats individual tastes

3:00 am

Cat9x

Hmmmm, don't have a garden? Sorry lol No idea, short of caging in the garden. My Cats are all indoor animals, so I have no dealings with anything like that.

3:01 am

Haz1558

Candy - is there not some sort of sonar device that you can buy? It emits a noise that humans can't hear but which cats detest.

3:01 am

Cat9x

Oh Ata that is my favorite by far!!! How precious!!

3:01 am

libarebel

back for a sec-- plant catnip outside of garden-- cats will go there...

3:01 am

Unicorn

spicy things... hot souaces work and dont harm plants... or so ive heard i've never tried it in the garden i do know it get's 90% of animals from chewing on things though

3:01 am

brumbjorn

I though red pepper on the dirt helped...

3:02 am

Atalante

she was tiny there!

3:02 am

libarebel

and enjoy themselves...

3:03 am

Cat9x

Awww :) What a sweet picture :)

3:03 am

libarebel

cats are better distracted than deterred...

3:03 am

Cat9x

True Lib! Plant catnip, they will alllllll converge there :)

3:03 am

candy

I haven't heard of that Haz. I have spent a fortune on all sorts of sprays and repellents and none of them seem to work. I am sick clearing up after someone elses pets now that I don't have one of my own.

3:04 am

jillibus

Invite the cats in! Thy're so ornery they will go away LOL

3:04 am

libarebel

lol, cat9x... cat rugs!

3:04 am

Haz1558

I've seen them advertised in the paper - not sure if they're available in the shops.

3:04 am

candy

I will have to look for that device on my next shopping trip

3:04 am

Cat9x

It's the owners fault Candy. Mine may miss out on running wild, but they live longer, and want for nothing.

3:04 am

Cat9x

LOL, thats what it would be too Lib! LOL

3:05 am

Haz1558

McFetridges would have had them, Candy!

3:05 am

libarebel

lol, cat9x, et al & nite :)

3:05 am

Cat9x

Try Googling it too Candy, may find some good ideas out there that don't harm the animals.

3:05 am

Unicorn

or you could just (shudder) get a dog...

3:05 am

Unicorn

LOL

3:05 am

Cat9x

Nite nite Lib! Sleep well!

3:06 am

candy

Cat9x - she assured me they were never out and litter trained when she moved in. But they are now running wild. All the neighbours are complaining. AND there is 7 of them!

3:07 am

Haz1558

Dump all the stuff back on her front door step!

3:07 am

jillibus

nite, lib. Time for me too. I WILL NOT stay up so late again. No, I won't...

3:07 am

Unicorn

lol haz

3:07 am

Cat9x

She lied I guess, bad for the kittys :( They may very well be litter trained, but if left outside, they make their own litter box's. Unfortunately the cats pay for the owners stupidity and neglect.

3:08 am

Cat9x

I haven't got to read it yet jilli, but I will, and thanks for sharing with me!

3:08 am

jillibus

Waddaya mean, unicorn, about (shuddr), get a dog? See my icon?

3:08 am

Preethi

Hello everyone! Good Morning

3:08 am

candy

I'm laughing to myself - my dog was the best deterrent so far but sadly she died in October and I have been unable to replace her. My neighbour scoops everything up and throws it over her fence but she hasn't taken the hint

3:09 am

jillibus

Good morning, Preethi, and welcome to this catty conversation

3:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning Preethi.

3:09 am

Cat9x

I'm sorry to hear that Candy, how sad :(

3:10 am

Cat9x

Good morning Preethi

3:10 am

jillibus

Candy, I know too well how hard itis to lose a dog

3:10 am

Preethi

Hi CAt, Haz, Jilibus

3:10 am

Preethi

Hows the grid today'?

3:10 am

brumbjorn

grr... anyone got the first bo 5/18?

3:11 am

Haz1558

Candy - I can understand why you're so fed up if there are 7 to clear up after. Maybe hints are not enough any more. If the neighbour is careless about the toilet habits, maybe there's going to be a population explosion as well.....

3:11 am

Cat9x

So far so good Preethi

3:11 am

Haz1558

bo5/18 means to do something badly

3:12 am

Cat9x

Oh right Haz, I so hope they have been nuetered and spayed, oh my!

3:12 am

Haz1558

But it may not be the first one.

3:12 am

candy

It's the hardest thing I have ever coped with in my life, but at least I can talk about her now without crying

3:12 am

brumbjorn

got that one - the other 5/18 then

3:12 am

jillibus

190 words, not too bad I guess, but we've been diverted...sorry, brumbjorn, no bo5/18 from me

3:13 am

hydra

bo5/18 is to make a mess of something. To do a job badly.

3:13 am

Haz1558

bo5/18 - a term used by the french for Germans

3:13 am

oggy

bo5 same as 2nd minus the t + 2nd vowel at the end

3:13 am

Preethi

Hi Hydra

3:14 am

Haz1558

And it can be pluralised

3:14 am

hydra

Hi Preethi. I see I gave a clue to the wrong one. Never mind. How is everyone today?

3:14 am

Cat9x

Jilli, I love those!! LOLOL especially the last 3!! Thank you so much for sharing, I have to pass this on to some friends :)

3:14 am

Thanks Hydra, I wish it was :) I googled cloud formations cats and found that.

3:17 am

hydra

I had to look twice to see the cats in the clouds. My mum always used to point out animals in the clouds. Seals, whales, it was great.

3:17 am

jillibus

Glad you enjoyed the haikus, cat. And unicorn, glad you have danes and those other wee people. Give them a scratch behind the ears form 'dogmother" (me)

3:17 am

Cat9x

As a child I did the same :) It's wonderful what you can see in the clouds at times

3:18 am

hydra

All I can see right now over London is blue sky and swifts.

Unicorn

Unicorn

Haz1558

I've just discovered that a woman's name and its plural are acceptable be6/27 and be7/40

3:38 am

Kallia

thinkits some sort of clothing Haz

3:38 am

Unicorn

be4/7 and be 516 are a womans name too

3:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's a type of collar apparently

3:38 am

Queenruejean

Yes, it's a type of collar.

3:38 am

Unicorn

3:39 am

Haz1558

The be4/7 - can never read about her death in Little Women without shedding a tear or two

3:39 am

Cat9x

I agree Haz, same here.

3:40 am

Kallia

I have not long re-read that Haz...the whole series for my reading group...

3:40 am

licketySplitAUS

This grid looks nasty - Anyone agree?

3:40 am

Haz1558

Matthew's death in the Anne of Green Gables books has the same effect.

3:41 am

Atalante

its ok, lickety!

3:41 am

Kallia

morning lickety...so far so good

3:41 am

Haz1558

Good evening lickety! I think the grid is quite nice so far.

3:41 am

Cat9x

Hi Lickety! Not too bad :)

3:41 am

licketySplitAUS

No letter N

3:43 am

Haz1558

What word are you dying to make that needs the letter n?

3:43 am

Kallia

any help with 4th 8 please? have 2 c and s

3:43 am

licketySplitAUS

3:44 am

Cat9x

wa8/80, what you wear on your wrist plus one of your orb's that see's :)

3:45 am

Kallia

well!! thank you Cat dont think I would have tried that :)

3:45 am

Haz1558

Thanks for that, Cat. What a strange word!

3:45 am

Cat9x

You're welcome, very strange indeed!

3:45 am

Kallia

means walleye...especially in dogs

3:46 am

Cat9x

Someone clued it earlier, I wouldn't have gotten it either on my own.

3:48 am

Jemma444

Ok everyone, i had better get going! Happy Babbling, and good luck with this grid!!(:

3:48 am

Cat9x

Thanks, bye Jemma!

3:48 am

Haz1558

Thanks Jemma - have a good evening.

3:49 am

Jemma444

yw, bye!(:

3:50 am

Cat9x

Hmmm, wonder what could have possibly made me think Feeb was a word? lol

3:51 am

Cat9x

Where have I heard or seen that before, I wonder.

3:56 am

amandacath

Meet the Feebles? A feeble dweeb = feeb? "Ewwww, Mo-o-om, he's such a *feeeb*!"

3:57 am

Haz1558

The Carnivores Association would say that it's a condition directly attributed to a failure to eat be4/9

3:58 am

FranMag

hello all!

3:58 am

Cat9x

Thats it!!! feeb=dweeb! A Feeb! Oh my, have I been around adolescents too much? LOL

3:59 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag.

3:59 am

FranMag

thanks for that wa8, i had two other 8s, but not that one.

3:59 am

Cat9x

Ahhh, missed that one Haz, thanks!

3:59 am

Cat9x

Hey Fran!

3:59 am

FranMag

hi cat!

3:59 am

Haz1558

And don't forget the adjective Cat.

3:59 am

amandacath

Hi Fran!

4:00 am

FranMag

hi amanda!

4:00 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz! :)

4:00 am

FranMag

hi haz! i always like seeing your icon.

4:01 am

Haz1558

Thanks Fran - I have the live version lying beside me!

4:01 am

FranMag

that's sweet!

4:02 am

FranMag

i assume everyone has the ch8 and sh8?

4:03 am

Haz1558

I do but can't speak for everyone else.

4:04 am

amandacath

I've got those two, it's the other c8 that is eluding me - and I'm sure I'm going to want to wallop myself with the fish when you clue me for it....

4:04 am

jillibus

I'm not here - I went to bed, but I only have one ch8 and no sh8

4:04 am

Haz1558

It's an adverb for ch6/24 - think purity and innocence

4:05 am

Haz1558

Someone needs to tell jillibus that there's somebody impersonating her - but wait, she's asleep.....

4:05 am

Haz1558

sh8 - change the first letter of your talkative ch8

4:05 am

FranMag

thanks haz! got two out of that

4:06 am

amandacath

Thanks Haz - a mid-size wallop for that one. Jilli is sleep-babbling!

4:06 am

Cat9x

jilli, sh8, what happens when a mirror breaks into a zillion pieces, it sh******, plural of sh7/32

4:06 am

jillibus

LOL, Hazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

4:06 am

FranMag

oh no, jilli is babbling in her sleep now!!

4:06 am

jillibus

Thx, gang. I'm really trying to go to bed! But you know how it is...

4:07 am

FranMag

that wa8 was my last w also!! i've been trying to gray that one out.

4:07 am

Cat9x

Yes I know jilli, you lie there, and words are forming in your brain, you must get up and release them!

4:08 am

jillibus

too true -- it really does happen!

4:08 am

Cat9x

I know :)

4:10 am

ARB

Shalom All

4:10 am

FranMag

hi ARB

4:10 am

Haz1558

ARB - good morning to you.

4:10 am

Cat9x

Hi ARB!

4:10 am

amandacath

hi ARB

4:11 am

ARB

Hi hi hi -- nice board

4:11 am

jillibus

and I'm GONE -- really and truly -- NO MORE tonight, um, this morning, ugh. TTFN and thx.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, jillibus!

4:12 am

Cat9x

Sleep well Jilli!

4:13 am

amandacath

sombabbulate - that's the word I've been trying to put together. What Jilli's doing!

4:13 am

FranMag

night jilli!

4:14 am

FranMag

that's a great word amandacath!!

4:14 am

Haz1558

That sounds as viable a word as some we've had, amanda!

4:18 am

amandacath

I love making up words - I wish enable would appreciate it!

4:23 am

amandacath

How many words were there again?

4:24 am

FranMag

190 amanda

4:24 am

suki

190???

4:25 am

Haz1558

Not what you wanted to hear, suki?

4:26 am

suki

Sure

4:26 am

amandacath

I was hoping I'd gotten the numbers turned around - I'm at 109...and seeing the notorious brick wall

4:26 am

FMitch

Morning all
Just found the strangest word sc5/22 & pl6/36

4:27 am

Cat9x

Morning FM! :)

4:27 am

FMitch

that should be and its pl sc6/36

4:28 am

FMitch

Hi Cat

4:28 am

Cat9x

Isn't it FM!! odd word/s, all those consonants, one vowel, odd words

4:29 am

FMitch

Only found it through the points count, would never have thought to monkey type it.

4:30 am

FranMag

just found it after you asked, it's an upside-down e used in pronunciation keys in dictionarys

4:31 am

amandacath

Hi Mitch! Had that one - my German has prompted me to try every possible sch combo - only one I've found so far...

4:31 am

FranMag

it's the e sound in words like father i think

4:31 am

Haz1558

Remembered it once you gave the definition, Franmag - it's been in before.

4:32 am

FMitch

Morning Haz

4:32 am

FranMag

i knew the word, but would never have seen it without the letter and point counts!!

4:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMItch. It's a fun grid today, isn't it?

4:33 am

FMitch

YEs, some great words and a few nice runs too.

4:35 am

amandacath

just found a strange one, although I think we've had it before - b5/18 french disparaging term for Germans

4:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, we were talking about it earlier - the plural is there too.

4:36 am

FMitch

Do children still use sa7/36 to carry their books to school?

4:37 am

Haz1558

It's all gym bags these days. No leather bags/briefcases any more.

4:38 am

FranMag

nowadays FMitch they are more likely to use rolling luggage with someone like the wiggles or dora the explorer

4:38 am

amandacath

ooo, thanks Haz, would have kicked myself for not pluralizing, and Mitch - had tried to find that but was going the wrong way

4:38 am

FMitch

Yes, more than likely Fran and Haz.
yw amanda

4:39 am

Haz1558

Have you got the of4/9 - it's a while since it's been in the grid.

4:39 am

FranMag

what does that one mean haz?

4:40 am

FMitch

I do but I have to admit got it from a clue earlier this morning

4:40 am

amandacath

monkeyed that one on the vague shimmer that I might possibly have seen it before

4:40 am

Haz1558

It's used as a disparaging term for a white person, but I like to think of it as what King Kong would have said to Miss Wray, the actress.

4:41 am

FMitch

LOL

4:41 am

amandacath

pavlovian babble reactions - you say "disparaging term for white people", I look for haoli

4:41 am

FranMag

enable seems to have a lot of disparaging words for racial groups, like the hawaiian haole

4:42 am

amandacath

...or was it haole?

4:42 am

Haz1558

haole - it's the one we miss every time it's in the grid.

4:42 am

FMitch

Ugh, that one always catches me out.

4:43 am

FranMag

ends with an E amanda, people pronounce it (incorrectly) like it's spelled with an i.

4:43 am

FMitch

One we haven't seen for ages now is the lipstick tree and it's 3 variant sp.

4:44 am

amandacath

Too funny, Mitch! I was thinking about that the other day - I think there was a grid with almost the right letters for it

4:45 am

FranMag

what is that word FMitch?

4:45 am

Atalante

stupid tree! and the volcano hasn't been around for a grid or two ...

4:45 am

FMitch

anatto, annatto(s) and arnatto

4:46 am

FMitch

Hey Atalante, at lest the ceese is back today.

4:46 am

FMitch

*cheese

4:46 am

Haz1558

And in force.

4:46 am

FranMag

is the other spelling ever used? achiote

4:47 am

pam

Hi, all__I was thinking about the tree, too, and how I almost never get it!

4:47 am

amandacath

and the foot-digit-babblet, not to forget!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning pam!

4:47 am

amandacath

Hi Pam

4:47 am

FMitch

No reason why not Fran as it cross refs to anatto in the dic.

Hi Pam

4:48 am

Haz1558

FMitch - you realise that Pam was one of Mikey's fans?

4:48 am

pam

LOLOL

4:48 am

FranMag

hi pam!

4:48 am

Haz1558

***hmmmmmm?******

4:48 am

jean1953

good morning everybody:)

4:49 am

Haz1558

Good morning jean - how are you?

4:49 am

FranMag

hi jean!

4:49 am

jean1953

im fine thanx haz, how are you?

4:49 am

FMitch

ja!!! LOL

Hi jean

4:49 am

amandacath

Poor Mikey....

4:50 am

amandacath

Hi Jean

4:50 am

Haz1558

I'm fine - the sun is trying to peek through and it's a nice grid.

4:50 am

jean1953

its still a bit overcast here in somerset haz and only just started on the grid but seems to be a good one

4:51 am

FMitch

Poor Mikey, my foot!

4:51 am

Haz1558

It's good fun jean. We were reminiscing about babblets - and a babbler.

4:51 am

jean1953

lol sounds interesting

4:52 am

amandacath

One of the few days I don't babble and something exciting happens - somehow I missed the day that Mikey had his little fit - still haven't quite figured out exactly what happened...

4:53 am

Atalante

mikey got a little upset ...

4:53 am

Haz1558

Who wants to tell the story?

4:53 am

Haz1558

(Atalante made him very cross)

4:54 am

Atalante

*looks innocent* it was that kid! what was his name? noble something?

4:55 am

Haz1558

Noblelover - or Nobleloser as Mikey renamed him started the whole thing off by accusing Mikey of being a show-off. He objected to Mikey writing in German to other people. Cue fireworks.

4:55 am

FranMag

done haz?

4:56 am

Haz1558

I was waiting for someone else to take up the tale, but will I continue?

4:56 am

pam

oh, do, Haz...

4:56 am

amandacath

please do!

4:57 am

Atalante

go for it! and that was fireworks as in ker-pow bang not finished ... I think?

4:57 am

FranMag

oh, i thought you were cuing your own fireworks, please go on!

4:57 am

jean1953

was this recently?

4:58 am

Haz1558

Mikey was *highly' indignant as he felt that this was a very ordinary thing. He was still indignant the next day and brought the subject up again. He didn't receive the support he expected and we were all roundly condemned as being intolerant etc.

4:58 am

Haz1558

This all happened a while ago - can't remember the exact date.

4:59 am

jean1953

oh right I do remember that now

4:59 am

FranMag

someone said before that it was May 9th or 6th i think

4:59 am

Haz1558

So, now he no longer *peeks in to see what is happening*

4:59 am

Atalante

quite a while ago now

5:00 am

amandacath

It's been over a month or so ago. When I first heard that he'd flamed off (bad pun!) I was afraid I was the cause - I'd said something about "some ballet dancers being a bit thick" before he had logged on one day and was afraid he's gone back through the log and seen it

5:00 am

jean1953

i never knew what had happened just knew that something had and that he wasnt in the chat log thanx

5:01 am

Atalante

it was all very silly really. I don't think he could understand that some people being a little unhappy about the log going off into german constantly was more of a reflection of wanting everyone to understand the chat rather than a personal attack on him ...

5:01 am

Haz1558

No - it wasn't your fault amanda.

5:01 am

pam

that was lost on him, atalante

5:02 am

amandacath

I figured that out a few days later - having not been around the day that he bailed, I was imagining the possible scenarios - they were numerous!

5:03 am

Haz1558

Atalante did a fine job of trying to explain a different point of view to him, but he was not to be reasoned with.

5:03 am

jean1953

me also amanda

5:04 am

Atalante

and managed to make things worse I think *sigh*

5:06 am

FranMag

the ha6/21 (first one) sounds like 'mini haz'

5:06 am

Atalante

awwww! minihaz!

5:07 am

amandacath

Oh well, at least we won't all be bothered with - ooo, thanks Fran! - being on Mikey's mailing list for silly e-mails!

5:07 am

Haz1558

I'm small enough already!

5:07 am

FranMag

well, enable has a smaller version of you!! lol

5:08 am

pam

and it such a visceral word...

5:09 am

FranMag

i always wondered what happened with the Mikey thing. i didn't even know who he was. some other babblers seemed to think it was because someone made fun of the way he was spelling the German words!

5:09 am

FMitch

What a time for me to get stuck on a phone call but back now.

5:09 am

amandacath

He seems to be quite an inflammatory character :)

5:10 am

jean1953

wb fmitch

5:10 am

pam

I think he had a hair across his a*se (english bum) and I can't believe I did not play ehen he was around but I had ZERO tolerance for him

5:10 am

Haz1558

No - his German was okay. He would have been okay in very small doses but he began to make a nuisance of himself on the chat log and was incredibly needy - always having to be acknowledged etc.

5:11 am

Atalante

and he always wanted to chat on IM. constantly

5:11 am

Atalante

and was too obassed with showing everyone his chest hair!

5:11 am

FranMag

what????

5:12 am

FMitch

OMY that day when his icon wasonly chest hair was gross

5:12 am

marso

sorry to but in but how old was he??

5:12 am

Haz1558

He was in his mid-30's I think.

5:12 am

amandacath

I always find it annoying when people live up to cliches...believe it or not, marso, he was an adult

5:12 am

Atalante

I know!! and I *like* chest hair! but that was too too much!

5:12 am

amandacath

...still is, I'm assuming

5:13 am

Cat9x

Awww, I just found the mini Haz :) And found dance from the 70's, good old disco!

FranMag

Bay City Rollers!!! those were the pinup boys when i was in junior high

5:27 am

Atalante

jean1953

5:28 am

saintfranny

saintfranny

FranMag

5:30 am

amandacath

Billy was great back then - but I caught an MTV unplugged of him a while ago...Billy Idol and his paunch in a hawaiian shirt in a bar ... a bit disconcerting!

5:31 am

FranMag

like SaintFranny said, that life takes a toll!

5:32 am

amandacath

It does, it does - but then look at David Bowie! Still one of the hottest hotties ever made!

5:32 am

jean1953

all this talk of music may just have to put some on lol feel like listening to rush at the moment

5:33 am

Cat9x

Makes ya wanna dance huh Jean? :)

5:33 am

Atalante

mmmmmmmm Bowie!

5:33 am

FranMag

yes amanda, but has he fixed his teeth yet?

5:34 am

amandacath

Oh good idea, jean! I'm house- and cat-sitting for a friend who has a real liking for 70's music. Must go have a look at her collection!

5:34 am

FranMag

ooh jean, tom sawyer.

5:34 am

jean1953

I agree amandacath he can still pull off a good show I saw him in his ziggy stardust days and more recently and he still rocks

5:34 am

amandacath

I think he has, Fran - at least somewhat. He can't make them perfect, though - they're part of the Bowie image

5:35 am

jean1953

one of my favourite tracks franmag along with force ten I saw them two years ago in birmingham they were brilliant yet again

5:35 am

FMitch

6:16 am

Cat9x

6:16 am

Eva

6:16 am

Haz1558

ch8/60 is missing from your list

6:17 am

Cat9x

Might have Eva, not sure?

6:17 am

Haz1558

Churchill did use the V for victory sign.

6:17 am

amandacath

just make sure you don't do the victory (or peace) sign with your hand the wrong way round when in Britain!

6:18 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah - it can be taken the wrong way here too

6:18 am

Cat9x

add onto the ch6/24, that gives you ch8/60, meaning virginal?

6:18 am

Eva

any hints for that other ch8?

6:18 am

Grim-Bigyen

FranMag

6:20 am

Cat9x

Meant to ask, it passed me by till now, what does the finger V for victory sign mean in GB?

6:23 am

FranMag

6:24 am

M3

6:24 am

Cat9x

yikes LOL Thanks Fran!

6:24 am

comeonirene

Or peace

6:24 am

FranMag

i was just asking, don't know either cat!

6:24 am

Cat9x

Can mean Victory too M3?

6:24 am

M3

the middle finger is way more offencive than the two fingers

6:25 am

amandacath

palm outwards means victory, or peace too, I assume, palm inwards is the offensive one

6:25 am

M3

yes amanda x

6:26 am

Cat9x

Hmmm, interesting

6:26 am

M3

i could explain but its not nice x but im sure you can imagine!

6:26 am

Cat9x

Thanks M3, yes, I can imagine :)

6:27 am

M3

do you have simular offencive hand gestures?

6:27 am

FranMag

Dexy's was Eileen amanda

6:27 am

Cat9x

The finger, middle, the V just means victory, or peace.

6:28 am

amandacath

oops - you're right, Fran. Works with Irene too, though, when not singing in public!

6:28 am

M3

oh now you know, if somone cuts your off in traffic you can do the v the other way, commen practice over here!!!

6:28 am

FranMag

6:29 am

Cat9x

LOL, I'll try it M3!

6:30 am

M3

good luck, of do it but do be seen works for me !

6:31 am

FranMag

in Hawaii we have a nice gesture called the shaka. you hold up thumb and pinky with palm towards chest and kind of wave it.

6:32 am

M3

fran what does it mean, can i teach the kids!!

6:32 am

amandacath

Alright, I'm going to the list with 45 left - am losing patience.

6:32 am

FranMag

legend has it was originated by an old local guy who lost most of his hand in a sugar cane press, but no one knows for sure when it started.

6:33 am

FranMag

M3, it means hang loose or eehhh, just a friendly gesture. the troops from Hawaii are using it in Iraq and it actually made the national news

6:34 am

M3

oh cool

6:34 am

mrpresident

it must have been complete denial that I couldn't find the so5/14!! LOL

6:34 am

M3

hey how sad am i i just googled obscene hand gestures lol

6:34 am

FranMag

they were using it to wave officers through check points instead of saluting to not draw attention to them and got in trouble for it.

6:34 am

FranMag

lol mrp!!!

6:35 am

FranMag

it didn't exactly jump out at me either!!

6:36 am

mrpresident

6:36 am

marso

right me off peeps got a wedding to go to,,,so have fun :)

6:36 am

FranMag

M3, it's fine to teach your kids, proper way is to do it close to the body, not wave it around in the air.

6:37 am

Cat9x

LOL mrp! My phantom word for today was verbose.

6:37 am

M3

I have the wa7 but can't figure out the wa8, is it a compound word

6:59 am

amandacath

7:09 am

MrP - think phonetics. Maybe only the crust of a fish pie - it's one of those "you know it or you don't" kind of words

7:09 am

bonkler

Katrine925

7:53 am

Haz1558

FMItch - she's finished with lust, she's going to be ch6 frm now on.

7:54 am

Katrine925

Oh! The "lust" caught my eye....

7:54 am

Angelsong

ffirst bo5?

7:54 am

Haz1558

bo5/18 - term of disparagement used by French for Germans

7:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, FMitch - I had and was quite tickled by it.

7:55 am

FMitch

.. and the pl and the e version too

7:56 am

Haz1558

Yes - and it took me ages to work out that the e version could be pluralised as well!

7:56 am

Flask1

Hi guys!!!...am working away quietly in the corner.....

7:57 am

Katrine925

8:02 am

musicmom

The summer schedule and kids being home really is cramping my babble style

8:02 am

FMitch

Good morning musicmom

8:02 am

Haz1558

You should make good progress - it's a nice grid.

8:02 am

musicmom

Morning FMitch

8:02 am

musicmom

Looked like a fun one with my cursory glance

8:02 am

FMitch

Print the grid off for the kids and get them working on it too LOL

8:03 am

Katrine925

Hello, Musicmom!

8:03 am

musicmom

LOL FMitch. I have been taking them in the car or working on them in between running but it doesn't leave my much opportunity to chat

8:03 am

musicmom

CRAP SORRY

8:03 am

Dorens

yes, all kids should babble every day during summer vacation. so says an elementary guidance counselor

8:03 am

musicmom

I just saw that word as I sent my post

8:04 am

musicmom

My 12 year old helps me lots of times

8:04 am

FMitch

expand "that" word and you will end up with an 8/50

8:05 am

Dorens

no prblem, thanks music mom, i actually didn't' have tht one

8:05 am

musicmom

Thanks F - got it

8:06 am

FMitch

If there had been an x in the grid we could have had the word that is directly above where I am typing now.

8:07 am

FMitch

well sorta!

8:07 am

musicmom

well it isn't exit -

8:07 am

Katrine925

I found a word that was not in the A=Z list of4/9....of49 can you see...

8:07 am

musicmom

or extinguish

8:08 am

Haz1558

The of4/9 has appeared in the grid before. Apparently it is a term of disparagement for a white person.

8:10 am

Katrine925

It sounds like it should be an Irish last name LOL

8:11 am

Katrine925

I'm really new at this- thanks Haz for the info!

8:11 am

GraceM

finished all the 4s... 26 words to go!

8:11 am

Haz1558

I only knew it by clicking on the ? beside the word.

8:12 am

musicmom

go Grace Go

8:12 am

Katrine925

Oh, is that what that is? Neat....

8:13 am

Haz1558

Occasionally it doesn't give any definition leading to discontentment in the ranks - no meaning, is it really a word?

8:14 am

FMitch

Found some small fish in the grid be5/14 and pl for the 6

8:14 am

GraceM

I have a newbie question: all that debate on Ba Anon about going "listless" or not-- does that refer to Lickety's list or the A to Z lists or both? For myself, I use Lickety's list only when I've absolutely exhausted myself without it but I've never resorted to the A to Z lists. Just wondering...

8:14 am

musicmom

thanks F Mitch

8:15 am

musicmom

Grace - I think that would depend on who you ask.

8:15 am

Atalante

both, grace. any list. lists are bad! bwahahahahahahaha! *giggles*

8:15 am

musicmom

I personally very rarely use A-Z but use lickety at the end of the grid or when time is becoming a factor for me.

8:15 am

Haz1558

Grace - the listless/list debate referred to either Lickety's or BJ's list. Just do whatever makes you happy.

8:15 am

FMitch

Grace its re Lickety's and BrandyJacks 2nd letter lists

Ata, you little tinker you!!!!

8:15 am

musicmom

LOL Ata --- you are soooooo bad

8:16 am

TQ

hi all, how many words today please?

8:16 am

Atalante

but its true! *gasp shock horror* lists are bad! BAD I say!

8:16 am

Haz1558

190 words today

8:16 am

Katrine925

190

8:16 am

GraceM

oh believe me, I only ever do what I want... I just wondered because there seesm to me to be a big difference between the second letter lists and the A to Z...

8:16 am

TQ

ouch, thanks Haz

8:16 am

GraceM

*seems

8:17 am

musicmom

Ata ---- yeah - whatever.

8:17 am

Atalante

there's a huge difference, and people just use whatever level of help they feel comfortable using ... if that's A2Z fine, lickety's list fine, whatever!

8:17 am

Haz1558

The second letter lists can nudge you in the right direction - a2z or morewords can provide the proof that a word exists

8:18 am

musicmom

Most of the time I don't use A-Z or morewords just because I'm too lazy to open another tab (lazy sounds better than stubborn to me<G>)

8:18 am

GraceM

Oh I'm not disparaging list users believe me-- as a matter of fact, I'm opening Lickety's right now!

8:19 am

Atalante

I don't see why anyone should be disparaged for whatever they do. This aint' a competition

8:19 am

musicmom

I just once again want to thank Lickety and BJ for their willingness to keep the game fun for me:-)

8:19 am

Katrine925

I wish I had known about the "?" last night- it would have helped. Oh, well, live and learn...

8:19 am

GraceM

8:23 am

musicmom

8:23 am

Haz1558

They're peculiar - except for the overweight ob5/14

8:24 am

FMitch

and considering there are 2 x ob7 and an ob6 hidden away

8:24 am

jean1953

8:24 am

Atalante

and of course, because I'm awkward, that was the one I got last *sighs*

8:24 am

musicmom

I got the fat one haz --- I didn't know it could be made a superlative:-)

8:24 am

Haz1558

Remove the last letter from the overweight one to get ob4.

8:25 am

musicmom

Yep had that one too. I'm missing the 7s and the 6

8:25 am

Atalante

the bigger ones - think of words that normally go after per- or re- (going backwards)

8:26 am

Haz1558

ob7/48 - add a section of poetry to get a counterpart

8:26 am

Angelsong

first co5?

8:26 am

Atalante

and the endings make words on their own too

8:26 am

Haz1558

ob6/33 - add French for green, and plural for ob7/48

8:26 am

musicmom

YEY!!! My o is grey

8:26 am

FMitch

ob +v4/7 = ob6/33 and then pl for the 7

8:26 am

Katrine925

actually, the endings are words in the puzzle- ve 4/7 and plural ve 5/16

8:27 am

GraceM

mine too! thx all!

8:27 am

Haz1558

co5/12 - lay the table along with someone else

8:29 am

chiley

Where would I find the 2nd letter list...if I wanted to use it....not there's anything wrong with that.....

8:30 am

Haz1558

Click on Lickety's babble clues, under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page.

8:37 am

GraceM

8:38 am

GraceM

8:38 am

TQ

8:38 am

FMitch

pl of the 5

8:39 am

GraceM

ah...see that 5 isn't a word in my universe!

8:40 am

Atalante

I just have to share some outrage. My "second" mother is just going through a big series of chemotherapy treatments and has lost all her hair. Which she's fine with, and has got a beautiful wig which looks *stunning*. She's going to a wedding tomorrow and has been told by the bride that she hopes she's wearing a hat so that no-one will be able to see the wig and be embarrassed about it! GRRRRRR!!!!

8:40 am

Haz1558

Does that mean you have it but don't use it, or you don't have it?

8:40 am

GraceM

I have it but never heard it before!

8:40 am

musicmom

Ata - that is TERRIBLE!!!!! I hope she isn't going to wear a hat

8:40 am

TQ

thats awful Ata

8:40 am

FMitch

How thoughtless and unfeeling Ata

8:41 am

Haz1558

It would serve the bride right if she didn't wear her wig.

8:41 am

GraceM

That nonesense would make me want to show up sans wig!

8:41 am

katican

good morning all

8:41 am

Sam

wig out!

8:41 am

musicmom

Very true Haz. GEESH the audacity of some people really burns me

8:41 am

Atalante

she really thought about not wearing it!! but she's got a beautiful thingy for her hair - like a corsage thing for hair - I don't know what they are called! - and she looks STUNNING

8:42 am

Karys

hello everyone.... I was just going to add it would be great if she were brave enough to attent the wedding without it !!!

8:42 am

musicmom

Good so she isn't wearing a hat --- right?

8:42 am

Atalante

and she is NOT wearing a hat at any point! she downright refuses :)

8:42 am

Flask1

Atlanta, I would tell them where to shove their wedding.........

8:42 am

FMitch

Hi Karys, happy smiley cat

8:42 am

musicmom

the bride needs some ettiquette lessons.

8:42 am

They're called fascinators (the hair thing).

8:42 am

TQ

good for her

8:42 am

Karys

LOL Flask !!!

8:43 am

Atalante

what's so dumb is that she probably would have worn a hat if they hadn't been so rude ...

8:43 am

Atalante

oh thanks Haz! never knew the name :)

8:43 am

Sam

the bride needs a heart/brain transplant

8:43 am

Aloyisius

sounds like the bride might be too immature to get married!

8:43 am

Flask1

What the bride needs is a good hard kick up the backside!!!!!

8:44 am

Praes

i second that flask

8:44 am

Haz1558

What is it about weddings that turns people into monsters - some people I should say.

8:44 am

Aloyisius

bbl...

8:44 am

Karys

be nice if something really embarrassing happened to the bride ( or is that just too naughty of me ) !!

8:44 am

Flask1

its the same with funerals and christenings.....think about it!!!!!

8:44 am

FMitch

Atalante - print the log off and give it to the bride as a present from all of us!!!

8:44 am

Atalante

I know ... but everyone is going to go round telling the bride how beautiful my second mum looks *insert amused grin*

8:45 am

9:13 am

Atalante

sometimes. usually. if its something I feel I can do prettily and nicely!

9:13 am

bostonmermaid

*GASP*... I'm checking out your website... you love Waterhouse and Alma Tadema too!! I've found my soul mate!

9:14 am

Atalante

woot! I love them. anything pre-raphaelite or pre-raphaelitey!

9:16 am

bostonmermaid

yay! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to actually buy all the $100 books on Alma Tadema... so what are your TOP THREE pre-raph paintings?

9:19 am

Atalante

top three? top *3*? what about top 30? oh ok. um. Waterhouse's "Miranda". Rossetti's "Beata Beatrix" and one of Burne-Jones's - I could never ever choose which one though!

9:20 am

Atalante

actually maybe "The Depths of the Sea" if I really really had to choose

9:20 am

bostonmermaid

why can't I visualize Miranda... hmmm... well my favorite Waterhouse is probably Hylas and the Nymphs. So seductive, so haunting, so perfectly balanced, and after years and years I can still gaze at it for hours!!

9:21 am

9:23 am

bostonmermaid

oh yes... that's a truly great one

9:24 am

Atalante

but I would probably change my mind every day. Though there would always be Burne-Jones and Rossetti in there

9:27 am

bostonmermaid

now I have to run and dig up my art books....

sorry-that wasn't a curse, although it could be. My new least favorite letter is A

I refreshed but now I'm missing the second tile on the last column

10:11 am

Haz1558

The log has been fun today. I'm in the process of deadheading my flower tubs, but thought I would say hello.

10:11 am

hetty

O Stid, helpme with the sh6. I have only 32 words yet already even

10:12 am

stidmama

hetty -- that was a funny story... only because when Matthew was about four, Tom was cleaning the oil furnace in the living room... and had finished up with the vacuum on the last bit of oily dust... after taking the bag out of the vacuum, he told Matthew to NOT touch it...

10:12 am

Karys

hello again everyone...been working hard on grid and now down to 61....bit stuck now so reading log and noticed Brumbjorn who, with a name like that, must surely be !!!

10:12 am

stidmama

hello shirin! where have you been? are you okay?

10:12 am

Atalante

thats my phantom word too Eva

10:13 am

shirin

yes, Im fine. I am actually in Mexico City on vacation, but just got access to a computer so I thought I would say, "Hola"

10:14 am

stidmama

to finish the story, of course Tom hadn't unplugged the vacuum cleaner, and OF COURSE Matthew had to touch the on switch. we have a cute pic of him standing there, completely surprised with old-fashioned "black-face" including the light rings around the eyes...

10:14 am

stidmama

oh, good you're on vacation! hope it's not too oppressively warm down there.

10:14 am

hetty

Yes. IN my story's case I had close the kids into what I thought was an empty room with their toys while I frantically got on with laundry--the builders had leftthe open tin in the closet-- you should have seenlittle Alison, such a cherubic smiling white baby, with black smudges all over her.

10:15 am

stidmama

yep, nothing like indelible black goo all over a towheaded child! LOL

10:15 am

shirin

no, actually its raining and I am a little chilly since I am used to the hot dessert air. How are you?

10:16 am

Eva

hetty-the fact that your son is still alive is a tremendous testament to your good humour and patience. I can't imagine what you thought when you discovered this living artwork!

10:16 am

hetty

And this was in the days before digital cameras-we didn't own a camera of any kind --so unlike you we have no record, except memory

10:16 am

stidmama

we are well. It's going to be warm and dry here for the next week or so -- actually back into the mid 80s today, then a little cooler for a while.

10:17 am

hetty

I loved--love--my son dearly always. He was so proud of his artwork.ike when he used to ick my priae roses and oresent them to me "For YOU!Mommy"

10:17 am

Eva

usually when the chat log is this busy it means lots of us are well and truly stuck(-:

10:17 am

shirin

Im glad you're well. Enjoy the puzzle and I will probably check in later! Take care everyone

10:17 am

stidmama

okay, back to the grid... :-)would like to get 100 words before I stop again.

10:17 am

stidmama

thanks for checking in shirin! see you later!

10:17 am

hetty

I'm well and truly stuck all right.

10:18 am

stidmama

hetty, did the clue for the sh 6 work for you?

10:18 am

Eva

okay-time to get dressed and out of the house. Have cleaned out the closets and done 2 loads of laundry. Cleaning closets is somsething I do about every 2 years. Amazing what you can find!

10:18 am

stidmama

see you later Eva!

10:19 am

faeriekae

Later Eva

10:19 am

hetty

Afraid not, Stid. And I thought I knew languages--even secret ones. I'll google.

10:19 am

3:15 pm

Katrine925

copied from Google:of 4/4 :Pig Latin for foe—is of less interest than the more likely story of this word's origins. The word, which is first recorded in the first quarter of the 20th century, must have been in use much longer if it is, as some scholars think, borrowed from an African source. Although this source has not been pinned down, the suggested possibilities are in themselves interesting. One would trace it to the Ibibio word afia, “white or light-colored.” Another would have it come from Yoruba ofe, a word that was said in order to protect oneself from danger. The term was then transferred to white people, regarded as a danger to Black people throughout the wretched days of slavery and beyond.
