Some good things to come out of Canada: Martin Broduer, Hockey, Martin Brodeur, Martin Brodeur, Quebec, Martin Brodeur, and...hmm...I think I'm forgetting something.

Oh, that's right, Martin Brodeur.

Oh, hockey, how I missed thee in your absence...and I cannot wait until October, when I can pay my respects to thee at the Devils' home opener.

oh duh, mayne, that's what you typed.
12:21 am
MayneGuy

I have to admit, Leigh, that I have been more than a little frustrated with the Canucks - so much talent - so little effort! I am prob a little jealous of the Devils
12:22 am

Well pdb - it's late where you are!

got the 8. no clue what it means...
12:23 am
MayneGuy

Still haven't the tr 8 - tho another tr 7 - three of creases
12:23 am
MayneGuy

How bout a clue pdb?
12:24 am
leighprefect

There was nothing to be jealous of in the playoffs while playing Carolina. It hurt me right here. *points to chest where something resembling a heart should be* We had our ups and downs this season, but Lou Lamoriello coaching for a huge chunk of it was probably the most interesting part. I thought he was a better coach than GM. He trades away all the good people, and then brings them back when they aren't so good anymore and disgraces them by sending them to play in the AHL (I don't care about salary caps...bad excuse for humiliating one of the best players in years!)
12:24 am
pdb

it's a plural. rhymes with a di 736
12:24 am
joey

i have a clue - think of a bed - tr, that fits underneath another bed. change the third letter which is a u to the third vowel and then plural it.
12:25 am
jillibus

well, that would be nice if I knew the di 7/36. Dumb me
12:25 am
pdb

nice, joey. was still trying to think of one.

12:26 am
jillibus

Yes, great clue, joey, thanks
12:27 am
MayneGuy

Leigh - you really are a fan! We've just fired our coach, at last - but our GM seems to lack pizazz and the smarts re players - I think - tho my son disagrees with me vehemently.
12:27 am
jillibus

and the dictionary doesn't know what it means
12:28 am
Flask1

well that clue didn't help me at all!
12:29 am
MayneGuy

Well actually they both rhyme with what Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on. I think it was SB
12:30 am
leighprefect

Our GM has picked up a new coach finally. Looking forward to seeing how this affects the Devils. I am a fan...the arena is only fifteen minutes away (for now, though that could sadly change) and I am more passionate about it than my boyfriend. Actually, my store manager where I work played for the Devils' AHL team and was being eyed up by the Devils before he was injured. He's still got his jersey and everything.

If I wasn't a perfectionist, I could probably play part grids and not aim to complete. But I'm too hard on myself.
3:33 am
lynxxx

love a clue for it ruthy - on the list of my "can't see yets"
3:35 am
Haz1558

go6/27 - ends in an egg layer
3:36 am
Haz1558

And it can be pluralised for go7/40
3:37 am
ruthy

ty haz
3:38 am
lynxxx

haha - I'm thinkng egg layer?- so that would be a frittata or something ! get it now - thankyou Haz
3:38 am
Haz1558

You're welcome, ruthy.
3:41 am
tazpink

how does lickity show where the words are???
3:42 am
Haz1558

Lickety's list gives you the second letters and points values of the words to be looked for. When you find them, fill them in to his add words section and it automatically places them in the right order of the list. You still have to find the words yourself.
3:42 am
tazpink

o ty haz
3:43 am
Haz1558

Hope you enjoy using it!
3:44 am
tazpink

yes ty lol thoughtm it would just give me some of these odd words lol
3:45 am
Haz1558

It can help sometimes by showing you points value - do the sums and you can often make a stab at the word. You may also wish to use some of the online dictionaries.
3:46 am
tazpink

another good idea ty
3:48 am
lynxxx

I personally like the way the L list is in alphabetical order so you can word out the logical next letter/s - BJs list doesn't always seem to work that way although I have not used that a lot
3:51 am
tazpink

have not looked at bj s yet
3:52 am
Babbler

BJ's list is in alphabetical order too. He does different variations so we can pick and choose how much info we want.

5:16 am

5:23 am
Jacula

'Bye Haz.

exwren, actually made two trips there, rode it 3 times altogether.
5:32 am
ExWren

Hi Jac, have you been on the London Eye yet? Although I have no head for heights, I plucked up the courage, and it was OK. You don't actually know you are moving!
5:33 am
ExWren

As for you Fran, you must be mad!
5:34 am
rolin

does anyone have the mo5/18?
5:34 am
Jacula

ExWren - I haven't been to London since the Eye went up. I might have a go on it if and when I go again.
5:34 am
FranMag

maybe exwren, but i told myself i had to at least try since i was always scared to try new things when i was a child.
5:35 am
ExWren

6:25 am

6:25 am
amandacath

not being a botanist....
6:27 am
FranMag

or, prefix for 3 + first part of the red fruit/vegetable.

6:29 am

Some websites disable the "back" button ..
4:13 pm
TheFiz

you know, helen, shakespeare vs. mamet
4:14 pm
Ciboulette

when the website doesnt allow you to press back, it's because the maker has written the code that way to keep you... annoying
4:14 pm
StephieC

Where do I find the side by side button?
4:14 pm
chj

to get to either, i have been double clicking the link..it takes me to both but when i want to get back to babble, the green back arrow in babblers does the trick while the green back arrow in licketys does nothing

chj

dont mean to belabor this, but im an old dog still learnin new tricks...when i right click licketys, i have a choice of opening a New Window or a New Tab..(I have Firefox)...if I open a New Window, i dont see any side by side buttons (im not sure what they are), but when i open a New Tab, there is a bar that shows both tabs and i can toggle back and forth between the two..should i be able to do the same with a New Window?
4:25 pm
TheFiz

ooooh. love that, hithere, thanks!
4:26 pm
chj

i guess what im saying is whats the diff between a window and a tab?
4:27 pm
mymuseisme

if you are in a new window, I click the minimize button and then can resize it and have it side-by-side
4:27 pm
mymuseisme

if you are in a new window, I click the minimize button and then can resize it and have it side-by-side
4:27 pm
hithere

firefox lets you cut down on the number of windows you open by offering tabs. I don't know if there's a way to look at tabs side by side...but if you open up separate windows you can use that "Tile Windows Vertically" thingy.
4:27 pm
lzhets

the tab is in the same window, so you can't look at both pages at the same time, opening in a new window should open it in it's own window, then you can move them and change their size and see both at once
4:27 pm
TheFiz

The ri7/32 word - for 1st 3 letters, if you want to throw something away, you want ri* of it. The rest of the word is a German boy's name meaning 'wealth'. Think of the Ot***** Empire. (Or a linen chest at the end of your bed.)

The English expressions..we were at the movies today, and the screen went blank for several minutes. Patrick yelled "pull your finger out!" I told him 1) that was a bit rude, and 2) no one would know what he was talking about here!
7:43 pm
stidmama

so now to fix dinner and help bake the pie (Tom is home -- he makes the crusts, I make the fillings), and then back to tell a story at 9 game time.
7:43 pm
Jacula

Stid - Kind of glad to hear it's not just me that has had the red messages and the unreponsive script thing for most of this week! I think Dr_G needs to look at the server & Firefox.

7:45 pm
Jacula

Krista - An English person said, 'We were at the MOVIES today'?? We normally say the pictures, the pics, the fleapit. The movies isn't really a UK term these days.
7:45 pm

Yes, I do refresh the screen (that tells me there is an unresponsive script' but there are times when I've had to do so 11 times rather than 3 or 4. Also, when the annoying Antipodean child arrives we get an 'unexpected string' message. Most annoying!
7:48 pm
Krista

It's okay, Min. :)
7:49 pm
Jacula

Kirsta - the pictures. That'd be right! I just knew he wouldn't call it 'the movies'. Ask him about the fleapit thing though!

Seriously, Dorens, first part of word is 3 letter word for three....then go to a to4 word for a big book and change the last vowel. Failing that, use the first 3 letters of StidMama's hubbys name and then add the 1st vowel in the vowel list.

As the auntie looked out her window that night, she was perplexed. She knew that her nephew was home with his family for a visit, she had seen his cart briefly in front of the house as she had fixed dinner.
9:09 pm
jillibus

just a mo -- need refill...
9:10 pm
stidmama

But the man on the porch was not her nephew -- and was sitting too close to her sister to be a stranger.
9:10 pm
Cathyar

*settles in sans blankie with babblefriends for storytime...bottle o beer in hand (Labbatts Blue)*
9:11 pm

Quietly, she moved away from the window and took tea to her parents, who were sitting by the fire in the front room.
9:11 pm

A black and tan cat with a white chest lolled on her mother's lap, purring louder than the clock on the mantel could tick.

Then, she walked out on the porch.
9:15 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye Jacula! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
9:15 pm

And she looked at the little front yard with the white flowers still reflecting a bit of light.
9:15 pm
jillibus

*whispers* hi minver!

She looked across at the park, shades of dark on dark, still and mysterious in the gathering evening.

"Cathy!" the woman exclaimed, "Come and see who's here!"

As the two sisters embraced, Cathy looked quizzically at the man, then turned pale.
9:19 pm
jillibus

*oooh!
9:19 pm
Cathyar

*looks closely at the man *
9:20 pm
stidmama

The man, standing with his hat in his hands, partly in shadow, was nevertheless recognizable.
9:20 pm
stidmama

She took a step back, and looked from her sister to the man and back again.
9:20 pm
Babbler

who is it??
9:21 pm
stidmama

Her sister smiled broadly, and drew her forward.
9:21 pm
stidmama

"Cathy, he's home. He's really here."
9:21 pm
stidmama

And the man held out a hand shyly.
9:22 pm
72 Temple Owl

*whipsers excitedly* baabs ...hiya!
9:22 pm
Babbler

*whispers* hiya!
9:22 pm

Through the window, a giggle of excitement, and a rustling behind the drapes betrayed the presence of several teenage girls.

Babbler

9:23 pm
jillibus

Cathy grasped the familiar hand, and looked earnestly into the man's eyes. "Where," she began, and finished, "Why didn't you write?"
9:23 pm
shorty

9:23 pm
stidmama

*exasperated sigh* Did NONE of you read chapter two? (or was it chapter three)

"Gilly -- how long were you going to keep this? How long has he been here?"
9:25 pm
jillibus

9:26 pm
stidmama

The three middle girls trooped out onto the porch and ringed the adults in a hug.
9:26 pm
Cathyar

sheesh! in my recollection he ain't MY hubby in the story! looks like someone the auntie was once fond of tho... *hopes auntie wasn't messin around with Paul long ago* ;) sorry mama...i'm convoluting your story...i'll stop and just read

I thought her name would be Gillian or something! cool1
9:27 pm
stidmama

(Cathy, this auntie is the one who never married. Jill -- I decided it was time to give our characters names... first time these names have been seen in the story)
9:28 pm

**even ignoring last 38 words to hear story**
9:31 pm

Gilly drew Cathy to sit on one side of her and Paul on the other. "He got home just before supper, Cathy, we were going to tell you in the morning."
9:31 pm
jillibus

oh {{{{{{cathyar}}}}}}}} of course it's possible!
9:31 pm
stidmama

Cathy looked around, "Did he come home with John and Anna? I thought I saw their cart earlier."
9:32 pm

Cathyar

*loves the hugs from babble friends but wants no pitty pls* {{{{hugs}}}bk to jilli

John poked his head out the door, "No Auntie, we met him at the front gate as we arrived! Anna wants to know how many for tea, and how many for warm milk?"
9:32 pm
Cathyar

*pity*
9:33 pm
stidmama

*no pity for you Cathy, you're too strong and capable a woman for that*
9:34 pm

He pulled his sisters back inside to help serve the tea and it was quiet on the porch.
9:34 pm
libarebel

nor pitty! :D
9:34 pm
Cathyar

ty stid mama...don't wanna stop the story pls...
9:35 pm
stidmama

Cathy shook her head slowly. Ten years was a long time, and in a village like theirs, this news was going to set off a string of visits.
9:36 pm
Cathyar

*yay...company's comin*
9:36 pm
jillibus

*where is this village? Babbleland?
9:36 pm
stidmama

Gilly caught her hand and squeezed it, "He was in town this morning, and saw the twins at the market. He gave them his cart..."
9:37 pm
stidmama

Paul looked uncomfortable and stood up, pretending to adjust the lamp.
9:37 pm
Cathyar

could have been anywhere...back when carts were the mode of transport
9:37 pm
stidmama

"And I found him at the Inn. He wasn't going to come home, Cathy --"
9:37 pm
Cathyar

uh-oh...what's up with paul?
9:38 pm
Cathyar

why not?
9:38 pm
stidmama

Cathy gasped. "Not come home? That's absurd!"
9:38 pm
jillibus

ok, I was on track with his identity -- I think....
9:38 pm
Cathyar

, she asks
9:38 pm
Cathyar

*stid mama puts it so much more eloquently* lol
9:39 pm
stidmama

She was always a practical woman, and to her it made no sense. She, for her part, had never left home and the comforting life of family and friends.
9:39 pm
jillibus

ah, now we may get an explanation of why he was Gone
9:40 pm
Cathyar

all part of an enthralling story ain't it? waiting for the "truth"?
9:41 pm
stidmama

Anna stepped out onto the porch with a tray in her hands and her little boy carrying spoons and napkins behind. She set it on the side table and smiled at Cathy, who gratefully accepted a kiss from her great-nephew.
9:41 pm
Babbler

that's the best bit
9:41 pm
Cathyar

*awww...nuthin better n hugs n kisses from loved ones*
9:42 pm
stidmama

"Father," she said, "John would like you to look again at our mare's hock. That cut started bleeding again."
9:42 pm
jillibus

and nobody asking for clues!
9:42 pm
stidmama

Paul shot her a grateful look and excused himself.
9:43 pm
stidmama

Anna and her son retreated to the bright warmth of the kitchen. Cathy sighed as Gilly poured out tea -- a dash of cream for Cathy, a touch of honey for herself.
9:43 pm
Cathyar

*sheesh...i'm OLD...GREAT-nephew* ;0....
9:44 pm
jillibus

obviously not Brits, who have milk or lemon it tea, and not honey...

Gilly sighed and looked around, reaching absently to pinch back a spent blossom from the potted plant on the table.
9:47 pm
jillibus

too right, lib...
9:49 pm
stidmama

Gilly's hair was starting to escape it's ribbons again, and Cathy protectively pulled a strand back from her eyes.
9:49 pm
jillibus

go on, stid - what was Cathy being tthoughtful about???
9:50 pm
Cathyar

*loves the warm n cozy family feeling in this story*
9:50 pm
stidmama

"Father is already asleep. You know how he is in the evenings these days... after a good meal in front of a warm fire. I can talk to Mother this evening as we do the dishes. But -- what happened, Gilly? What DO I tell her?"
9:50 pm
Mubner

Hey Babblers - I'm looking for my last word - ga 5/14 - any clues, please?

An owl hooted, and a horse whuffed noisely as a cart passed in the street.
