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

12:23 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.

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.

I can't do a grid without help but it's the fun of the game and the log that brings me back
3:02 am

Some of the words are very odd! Do you know about Lickety's list? If not, follow the link from the bottom L/H side and that will tell you where all the words are. I'd never finish without it.

3:33 am

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
3:38 am

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.
3:43 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.
3:58 am

Jacula
Amandacath - 187 words in total today.
5:15 am
FranMag

5:16 am
Jacula
FranMag - I've found 118 words so far but I don't think that's one of them! Ooh, I shall enjoy looking for that.... 'Here chookie, chookie...'
5:21 am
amandacath
found the chicken one - you learn something new every day...
5:21 am
Haz1558
What a good description of the word, FranMag! I'm off to do some housework and walk the dog. Enjoy the hunt for the bloodthirsty bird.....
5:21 am
FranMag
thanks haz! see you later!
5:21 am
Jacula
I think it must be hiding under the coop! I'll try scattering some corn to lure it out...
5:25 am
Jacula
FranMag - I haven't found the bloodthirsty chicken yet but I think your clue should go down in history as one of the best Babble clues ever!:-)
5:25 am

5:27 am
Jacula

5:28 am
FranMag
well those movies have quite a bit of blood and **** don't they.
5:29 am
ExWren
Fran, you actually went on that ride TWICE? I would be sick just to look at it
5:30 am
Jacula
Hi ExWren. Ditto, re the ride.
5:30 am
FranMag
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
Take my tip Jac, book your ticket in advance
5:35 am
Jacula
rolin - I have an mo5/18 that is a kind of badge or insignia or a repeated pattern. (Often used in embroidery.)
5:35 am

5:41 am
rolin

5:42 am
Jacula
rolin - I haven't found the chicken yet. FranMag said the word sounds like a chicken that likes slasher movies.
5:43 am
rolin

5:50 am
Jacula
Oh dear! My son just came in here and managed to bash his elbow on the chest-of-drawers. 'You shouldn't have sharp corners around children!' he said. 'You're 22!' I replied. :)

6:24 am
FranMag
here's the def: a plant of the genus Kniphofia having long grasslike leaves and tall scapes of red or yellow drooping flowers
6:25 am
FranMag
amanda, it sounds like part of a three pronged red fruit that is also in the grid.
6:25 am
amandacath
not being a botanist....
6:27 am
FranMag
or, prefix for 3 + first part of the red fruit/vegetable.
6:27 am
amandacath
got it! Thx fran
6:29 am
FranMag
yw amanda! scary part is there are babblers that would have gotten that word from the definition!!
6:30 am
amandacath
maybe it's a common garden flower? My garden knowledge is fairly limited too
6:30 am
amandacath
phantom: infidel

I am well but busy - going camping this weekend - 3 days with no babble! - and have been running around to get everything done before i leave.
11:53 am
TheFiz
Oh, and did i mention that's its over 100 degrees F? so i'm a little less efficient than usual. How are you all?

11:55 am
TheFiz
southern Rhode Island - we've got a group that goes every summer - and the one who made the reservation swears we've got a shaded site - one year we went somewhere that was basically a parking lot and it was awful.
11:57 am
Jen34
sounds like such a great time -- hope you get the shade!
11:58 am

12:28 pm
caitlyn
gramma tr 6/27 a lovely dessert (made with jelly,fruit and cream)
12:29 pm

the las tr is a combination of first 3 letters of tr6/27 followed by the part of the body you put it in, minus the snake and the "ch" at the end
12:31 pm
Anniebrook
cait, and past tense the dessert or you tr***** with my affections, you cad

Mary
tr8/45 is plural of tr7/32 rolling bed but change the first vowel to an i
1:14 pm
torgone
The first tr7/32 is a variant of a bed that slides under another bed -tr8 plural
1:15 pm
lzhets
tr7/32 sounds like the thing that sleeping beauty pricked her finger on and tr8/45 is plural
1:17 pm

hello all -- logging on for the first time today. Took Lucky to the vet, had him sedated and they gave him a thorough going-over. His torn off toenail will heal okay (eventually). The ear that has been bothering him has a torn eardrum but isn't infected so will also heal (eventually). I am so relieved... he is really unhappy with me, but that's okay. He got the medical attention he needed.
1:30 pm

hi gardengirl!
2:33 pm
TheFiz
humbugle - we do the first 2 letters of the word, the # of letters in the word, and the point value.
2:34 pm
StephieC
ri is what the word starts with, the 7 is how many letters the word has, and the 32 is the point value for the word
2:34 pm
gardengirl
hi fiz - did I miss the party!
2:34 pm
humbugle
ohh i see ^_^

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

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

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.

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.)

Jacula
Problem was, FranMag, I was trying to start the bloodthirsty chicken with the chicken word I already had! If you'd said 'red grouse female' I'd have got it sooner. LOL. I still think it's the most graphic and best Babble clue I've seen. The mental images it throws up have to be seen to be believed!:-))

a teensy bit sorry then!

Bubba, we frown upon so much personal information being given out in a profile. You need to be careful with that.
7:36 pm
featherbee
the hardest di word is the di6/24 at the end:
A full-skirted dress with a tight bodice and low neck, that is either sleeveless or has short full sleeves. google or use reverse dictionary for that

Jacula
Feather - I didn't find the German dress/skirt word hard to find at all. Mind you, there was a craze for them here in UK in the 60's. And we were nearer to Europe than you in those days.
7:37 pm

http://games.atari.com/playgames and click scrabble.
7:41 pm
Krista
That link has been a "bugger" before..it's easier to go to...yep..what feather just said

Jacula
Feather - yes, I did.
7:42 pm
featherbee
if you really want to try it, and can get to that page, check out the "community" section to see what bugs there are
7:42 pm
Jacula
Mind you, quotepuzzler won't let me in either.:-(
7:42 pm
Minveryork
Hello Pam! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

7:42 pm
featherbee
sometimes when i sign in, i then get a blank page. that's one of the bugs that hasn't been fixed apparently. what i do is hit my back button, hit refresh, then go forward again. that does it.

hooray Stid!

congrats stid!

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!
