4:01 am

CJ25

well considering Internet isnt allowed then anything is possible

4:02 am

Haz1558

It seems to vary - I've seen ts, cz and tz. So endless possibilities it seems.

4:03 am

FMitch

Ditto Haz but not with that variant in the middle, but this is babbleland after all!!

4:03 am

uzey

hey guys

4:04 am

Haz1558

I know the ending for the male offspring is 'ovich' but maybe the daughters are less frequently referred to and therefore not so well known.

4:07 am

CJ25

Oh to have simple names :-)

4:08 am

Haz1558

But then the Russians probably think 'Smith' is a mouthful!

4:09 am

CJ25

Those Russians - sheesh! :0D

4:09 am

FMitch

Ooo - you scared me, marso! I thought I was all alone here!

5:17 am

amandacath

Hi Eva! First 100 or so went ok, now I'm looking at the wall, I think

5:17 am

Eva

hmmm-doesn't sound so good. yesterday's was a delight.

5:18 am

amandacath

There's some nice, easy biggies though - and some biggies that evidently aren't so easy. At least I haven't found all of them yet

5:18 am

cliffopa

good day (from a long-lost babbler)

5:18 am

amandacath

Cliff! Where've ya been?

5:18 am

Eva

Hey cliff! I was just wondering about you last night!

5:19 am

cliffopa

friend with terminal cancer, 2 pet medical emergencies, packing up my son's stuff, trip to Alabama for his Air Force commissioning ceremony, and yard work.

5:20 am

cliffopa

hope you've all been well. i've missed babble.

5:20 am

amandacath

Wow! That's a load...

5:20 am

Eva

wow. How is your friend doing? Are the pets okay? It must have been wonderful seeing your son.

5:22 am

cliffopa

firend is no longer able to eat, but is trying to hold on for a big party on Aug 12th. pets are now fine. loooovvved seeing my son - hated saying goodbye again tho. he is now at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

5:24 am

Eva

Your friend sounds like a truly remarkable man.

5:26 am

marso

very hard to watch tho!!!

5:27 am

cliffopa

he never ceases to amaze me. the doctors all predicted that he only had several weeks. he said he has been able to make it this far because of all of his many caring friends.

5:28 am

cliffopa

very hard to watch marso, you are right on that.

5:34 am

amandacath

temple-babblets!

5:37 am

marso

it is cliff,,,i have watched it twice now

5:40 am

Eva

I have also gone through that 3 times now.

5:41 am

Eva

Each situation is a world of its own. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone cliff.

5:43 am

Eva

this is a real stinker of a grid!

5:43 am

cliffopa

thank you so much. i have found so many supportive people through babble. hope i can return the favor someday.

5:44 am

Eva

you do already. Just by reminding us of what life is all about

5:44 am

marso

:)

5:46 am

Eva

I wish I'd never started this puzzle. There cannot possibly be 214 words in it.

5:47 am

cliffopa

i'm feeling as though i've never played babble before eva - i'm not seeing many myself.

5:48 am

Haz1558

Eva - have you found the io4/4 which is a word in itself, but which ends lots of the other words?

Are we all having issues?

6:09 am

Haz1558

Just back after the issues. The me9/66 and me10/84 refer to the use of a go-between to bring harmony to a conflict situation.

6:09 am

amandacath

I think it's the server that's having the issues

Anyone have a cure for nausea.....?

6:13 am

Haz1558

Either ginger or peppermint are reckoned to help.

6:13 am

periwinkle

leigh - ginger tea or ginger ale might help

6:13 am

amandacath

other than 7-Up and soda crackers, you mean?

6:13 am

periwinkle

wha do think is causing it

6:14 am

leighprefect

I dunno. My mom thought it might be because I took the vicodin on an empty stomach..

6:15 am

periwinkle

that might be it

6:15 am

leighprefect

This is soooo bad.

6:16 am

Haz1558

leigh - have you actually been sick?

6:16 am

leighprefect

A little. And I need to get sick, but nothing comes out because there's nothing left in my stomach.

6:17 am

mrpresident

leigh, if you have nausea, it might be cause you ate something bad and actually getting it up may help.... lots of water now....

6:17 am

marso

hi mr p :) an anyone i missed

6:18 am

Haz1558

You may just need to rest - if it's worse when you move around it could be related to an inner ear problem. Why did you need to take the vicodin?

6:18 am

leighprefect

I had a tooth pulled.

6:18 am

mrpresident

well, that explains it!!

6:19 am

Haz1558

It's probably related to the tablet then. It will pass, but it's not pleasant.

6:20 am

leighprefect

I'm going to go for now. Thought I could play and it would help distract me, but it's not helping much. Thanks for the advice, everyone. I do appreciate it. Perhaps I will be back later.

6:20 am

inge

Good morning all. Please note my standing in the rankings. Finally made it to 1030. Hope I can stay there, casue have to give a Detroit tour today and review my facts yet. I was hoping for a short grid today. Oh well.

Hi Sprite! Have fun with Hurshy yesterday?

6:23 am

sprite

Lots of fun! It was so nice meeting her in person!

6:24 am

amandacath

That's great! Judy - love your teapot!

6:25 am

lynxxx

my entered words are not sorting alpabetically - just in the order I havve enetered them. I only came on 15 minutes ago. Anyone else got that problem?

6:26 am

sprite

lynxxx: no, not me, only just started and all are in alphabetical order.

6:27 am

amandacath

try refreshing lynxxx - I think you came on right when the server hiccupped - maybe that's why

6:28 am

amandacath

can one of you pros tell me how many words from each of the o's - I can't find my last 2

6:29 am

sprite

8 from the left, 4 from the upper right, 1 from the lower right.

6:30 am

amandacath

thanks sprite - maybe that'll help...

6:30 am

sprite

Formless: amorf? Not valid though.

6:33 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning all, any clues for to6/21?

6:33 am

amandacath

aroma therapist = aromist? won't take either...

6:33 am

amandacath

Hi Marc!

6:34 am

Marc Freeman

Hello amandacath, was your clue for me?

6:34 am

amandacath

nope - I'm looking for that word now...

6:36 am

Kateq

t6 = widely distributed European titmouse with bright cobalt blue wings and tail and crown of the head

6:36 am

sprite

A mouse with blue wings... no wonder I cannot find it.

6:37 am

amandacath

hmmm, I'm not up on my titmice, Kateq...

6:38 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks, got and it ends with a word for a womanns breast.

6:39 am

amandacath

google is my friend

6:39 am

sprite

Thomas the tomcat plays with the To6.

6:41 am

sprite

And now I want avatar.

6:43 am

amandacath

I'm still getting nowhere on the o's. Have everything from the righthand ones, from the left all I've got is grain, the non-foul, and the roman harbor (I hate o-words!)

6:44 am

amandacath

I tried avatar too, Sprite!

6:45 am

sprite

amanda, do you have Oi5 thin-walled spores produced by fragmentation in certain filamentous fungi?
Oi + greek for through.

6:45 am

amandacath

no, don't have that *calls greek monkeys*

6:46 am

amandacath

greek monkeys are also my friends

6:46 am

sprite

Gooooood monkeys!

6:47 am

mrpresident

*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

6:47 am

amandacath

Yay MrP!

6:47 am

sprite

Almost the same word: Os5, small opening or orifice, as in a body organ or passage. Also plural.

WTG mrP :)

6:49 am

mrpresident

Well, I'm off.... bed is calling!! night all!

6:49 am

sprite

Night mrP

6:49 am

amandacath

sleep well, MrP!

6:50 am

amandacath

Ah, that plural is my roman harbor, Sprite - I'm giving up on the o's for now - too much monkeying

6:51 am

sprite

I am cranky because iwis is almost there.

6:54 am

amandacath

etwi is almost there too - or is that one of the alt. spellings?

6:55 am

sprite

amanda, do you have the singular of the harbour?

6:55 am

amandacath

yep, got that one from your clue

6:56 am

sprite

I believe it is either etui or etwee, and neither is there :(

6:57 am

sprite

Oh, and the singular of the oi too!

6:57 am

sprite

And On+S4

6:57 am

Marc Freeman

Any clues on st6/33?

6:58 am

amandacath

but almost! I just found a strange n - sounds like the beginning of a region in Spain

6:58 am

sprite

Marc: one of the divisions of a poem, composed of two or more lines usually characterized by a common pattern of meter, rhyme, and number of lines

7:00 am

sprite

Hey, found the V8 :)

7:01 am

amandacath

V8 - yummy!

7:01 am

sprite

Oh, another V8, and a 9! Nice grid :D

7:02 am

mattygroves

So what clues for the long v?

7:03 am

sprite

One is Va + R6/24
The other is distribution or arrangement of a system of veins, as in a leaf blade or the wing of an insect (+ plural for the 9)

7:06 am

sprite

There is an incredibly rewarding ending in this grid. Gave me lots and lots of long words :)

7:08 am

GraceM

all the long ones end the same today!

7:08 am

GraceM

(pretty much)

7:08 am

sprite

I do have one 7 that has another ending. Past tense. Lots of vowels. Catty sound.

7:09 am

GraceM

and one 8/9 pair....

7:10 am

sprite

Oh yes, that beautiful Tz pair :)

7:13 am

amandacath

Pair? got Ivan, but I it won't take anything I've tried for Catherine...

7:14 am

sprite

Did you find Mi7/44, to speak erroneously?

And no, the pair was plural and singular, not man and wife, alas.

7:15 am

7:16 am

Marc Freeman

I am sorry i don't know why there are all the semi colons.

7:16 am

amandacath

cat on the keyboard again?

7:16 am

sprite

amanda: tz8/80 and 9/102, daughter of Iwan, or even a wife.

7:16 am

Marc Freeman

NO cats

7:16 am

sprite

Marc doesn't even need monkeys, lol.

7:17 am

amandacath

found the m, that's an odd one. Will have to monkey with those Iwan offspring (that will be my last 9, when I've figured itout)

7:17 am

Marc Freeman

I have the st5/12 with s in front of what a watch tells but I need a clue on the other one? Don't understand the monkey comment?

7:18 am

Marc Freeman

Sprite, I have a lot of friends in Vlodrop now. I was there last year at this time and I love Holland.

7:18 am

mattygroves

I have Ivan, but not his wife, or any plurals...

7:19 am

amandacath

Ah, found it - had tried it with each of those consonants in the ending, but not with both!

7:19 am

sprite

S + past tense of what you do with laces.
I meant you don't need monkeys if you have such a smart cat.
Nice you've been to Holland!

7:19 am

sprite

wtg amanda!

7:19 am

lynxxx

sprite - are we looking for the daughers name as part of the TZ clue ?

7:20 am

GraceM

I'm missing 2 more 7s.... I have: ed, en, ev, mi, na, or, ra, tu... what am I missing?

7:20 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks, Sprite got it. I don't have cats and realy don't want monkeys.

7:21 am

amandacath

pa, Grace - it's completely unlike the others

7:21 am

sprite

Mi x 2, see 7.14 am

7:22 am

sprite

And pa7/36, ends in what the watch tells.

7:22 am

sprite

lynxxx: the Tz-words are daughters of the T4.

7:23 am

GraceM

I have the mi7 mi+sa5/16....

7:24 am

sprite

Grace: in that case you need what the cat said.

7:24 am

carrie5752

the tz words also have a 4-point word in them

7:24 am

carrie5752

I meant 4 point letter

7:25 am

amandacath

thanks sprite - don't think I would ever have come up with that one! It uses all the vowels, btw, just for useless babble-trivia

7:25 am

mattygroves

I can't find any of the tz words except the four letter

7:26 am

sprite

Yes, it does, it's a kind of fun word that way :)

7:26 am

carrie5752

matty do some monkey typing. You know the 4 letter start, that there's a 4 point letter in there somewhere and that you can put a plural ending on it.

7:27 am

amandacath

the other tz's are 8/80 and 9/102 - you should be able to monkey it from the values

7:27 am

GraceM

cool thx sprite...

7:27 am

bonkler

tz + first vowel + race an engine + one hump letter and a vowel then plural

7:28 am

GraceM

gotta run for a bit...back later!

7:28 am

sprite

Got to go, see you guys later. Happy hunting!

7:28 am

abe79

informational question: is that the title of the t4's daughter? bye Sprite!

7:30 am

mattygroves

Finally got it - strange.

7:30 am

amandacath

See ya Sprite, Grace ...

7:31 am

amandacath

abe, it's the daughter's title or the heir's wife's title - I think

7:32 am

abe79

interesting...i am now pushing the "memory" button on my brain...thanks Amanda

7:36 am

amandacath

my brain has stopped working at 167 words - I'm going to the list

8:19 am

Haz1558

ma5/12 - same ending as the measurement taken from around your middle.

8:19 am

amandacath

if you say so, haz - very strange word...

8:19 am

SueMagee

Thanks Haz - my monkeys didn't come up with it even for extra bananas.

8:20 am

Haz1558

I know, strange but true.

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i think this is proving to be a hard grid....

8:23 am

SueMagee

It's a lot harder than yesterday's and strangely enough, I'm having more trouble with the shorter words.

8:23 am

Good Morning (at least for me) everyone! Had a dentist appointment this morning. Just got to work. Things are slow here, so I just may have to Babble. lol

10:02 am

That seems to be rather a common trait amongst Asperger's suffers.....

11:00 am

LucyV

we are very lucky though. he is still young and we found a wonderful school that is JUST for aspie, add, etc., kids. classes are very small (10 or less), and the teachers work very closely with the kids, paying careful attention to social development. Of course, costs a fortune, but it's worth it. He's so much happier there.

Also, folk with Asperger's tend to only have one or two interests, in my case it's movies (as if you needed to know), and music......
