helenkeller

chic- dani got drunk last nite - had poor cg trapped in the hot tub talking his head off, she was angry because erika insinuated she might put dani up (by not giving her a straight answer - & dani is not stupid, she figured it out, so she was pisssssed)

12:35 am

autumn moon

Thanks. I guess I have a lot to go then

12:36 am

chic

yay! what goes around , comes around for Dani that is!

12:36 am

helenkeller

then stupid erika comes outside to have a cig, is listening to dani & smirking, so this sets drunk dani off & she goes ballistic on erika - i was really afraid for erika, i thought she was going to hit her

12:36 am

chj

got an 8

12:36 am

chj

te8

12:36 am

chj

texturer

12:36 am

helenkeller

on & on & on - 'i had your back' 'you betrayed me' blah, blah, blah, but she was soooo angry! it was scary

12:36 am

chj

sorry

12:37 am

helenkeller

erika finally managed to make it back to hoh room, took will with her - after the ever-so-gallant boog refused to go with her & locked the door

12:37 am

RocDragon

i already got that one. what are the other 2 8's?

12:37 am

chic

Helen, my hubby and I were huge 'Dead' fans in the day!

12:38 am

chj

theres 4

12:38 am

helenkeller

drunk dani followed them & leaned on the doorbell for 10 minutes - i do not exaggerate - will spent the night in hoh bed with erika 'for proection'

12:38 am

chic

thanx chj, so kind, I don't want to have to think...

12:38 am

RocDragon

got the ex8 too

12:39 am

chic

Oh that is so rich, helen; I wonder if they will show any of that and wonder if erika now has about a real clue about boogie's loyalty..

12:39 am

helenkeller

and that's the story - today they are civil to each other, haven't referred to the incident, played cards with each other - weird

12:40 am

helenkeller

erika is an idiot, she's asked him straight out -are you taking me to finals, never a straight answer - you think she would get a clue by now

12:40 am

chj

thanks roc...just got that one

12:41 am

helenkeller

best place i saw dead was 3 days in a row at alpine valley, wi - outside always best :))) that was a long, long time ago :)

12:41 am

chic

now that's weird; although erika probably has experience with raving drunks given her exboyfriend that was on season 5 with her...

12:41 am

saintfranny

yea! more bb talk! :) i didn't watch a Bit of the feeds today. i heard dani lost it last night tho

12:41 am

RocDragon

cl8/55

12:42 am

helenkeller

chic - yeah, i wonder too how much or rather what of it they will be able to show - cause it will sound like bleep, bleep, you bleeping bleeper, bleep hahahaha

12:42 am

RocDragon

ah. tu8

12:43 am

helenkeller

hiya franny! dani was frightening & now ct has asked cg to join up, so unknown to each other - everyone is a member of chilltown & i'm still asking the same thing i asked since week 2 - why are these guys still there, LOL

12:43 am

saintfranny

LOL. will is a genius

12:44 am

saintfranny

he or jani better win this thing. they both deserve it

12:44 am

helenkeller

the evil doctor has it all figured out

12:44 am

chic

because ct is good at dodging bullets is my guess; or Will is a freaking genius at manipulating people..

12:44 am

saintfranny

don't want another Nerd Herd win :)

12:44 am

Dippnall

thanks roc

12:44 am

Dogluver

so roc and chj, any clues for the cl 8 and ex 8? i have the tu and te

12:45 am

chic

gee we all had the same thought,LOL!

12:45 am

saintfranny

funny how it's so hard for those IN the house to see it!

12:46 am

helenkeller

here is my secret desire - well not so secret cause i told my chat room, so we are all thinking about this, so just in case christmas comes for us too, we have a plan --- but my wish is that on tomorrow's show cbs rewards us with america's choice to call & nom the 2nd evictee - the audience so deserves it! don't you think that's a great idea?

12:46 am

saintfranny

yeah i can't wait to see how they handle the 2nd evict. on thurs!!!!!

12:46 am

saintfranny

that would be awesome helen

12:47 am

FMitch

ex7 - To shape (a plastic, for instance) by forcing it through a die and the 8 is the machine that does it

12:47 am

helenkeller

omg - i know, they are going to freak out in a big, big way - true colors will show - ought to be great!

12:47 am

Dogluver

thanx fmitch

12:47 am

chj

ex8 someone who forces plastic into a mold

12:47 am

Susan-Victoria

12:48 am

chic

I would love to see dani and Erika go this week!

12:48 am

chic

I would love to see dani and Erika go this week!

12:48 am

helenkeller

in the chat, most think erika is jani's biggest problem to face because erika can beat her at any endurance comp - after all, she does play the part of 'furniture' every day :)

12:48 am

Susan-Victoria

Thanks, Dippnall!

12:48 am

saintfranny

well, she DID hang off those ropes awfully well.

12:49 am

FMitch

Can't find the c8 tho - any clues on that one?

12:49 am

chic

LOL, helen and sorry for the extra votes, :-0

12:49 am

helenkeller

12:49 am

saintfranny

true dat helen

12:49 am

saintfranny

but janie is strong

12:50 am

saintfranny

they're pretty evenly matched. erika is skinny but does pilates as she said

12:50 am

RocDragon

cl8 has the same ending as the te8

12:50 am

Susan-Victoria

past tense for closing a debate...starts with what you get when the blood stops running,

12:50 am

Dippnall

cl 4/5 + 5th vowel + colour

12:51 am

Dogluver

2:13 am

sprite

Hi MVA

2:13 am

mrpresident

lickety is doing ok, he is passed out at the moment but luckily, the spleen isn't damaged, so will get the blood results when we can... I suspect he has glandular fever like maddison

2:14 am

sprite

I am so sorry to hear that, mrP! Sounds nasty :(

2:14 am

MVA

mrp, what's happened?

2:16 am

mrpresident

thanks sprite:)
mva, he is in pain around the spleen and he is really feeling ill, but we had an ultrasound (suspected a ruptured spleen from soccer game accident) but it looks clear.
Maddison has glandular fever and the doc suspects he is suffering from it too.... so we wait

2:17 am

sprite

Waiting is the hardest thing sometimes. I really hope he will be well soon, mrP. *hugs* for both of you.

2:17 am

MVA

fingers and everything crossed mrp, hoping allis well and praying

2:17 am

Frances

So sorry to hear that mrp. Hope he feels better soon.

2:17 am

jillibus

2:19 am

MVA

2:19 am

Andree

lickety told us about the tests on chat this morning, glad they are over and no internal damage

2:19 am

jillibus

well, give him extra cookies or something when he feels better! What a hero!

2:19 am

sprite

He better take care of himself instead of us! He is too good to be true, you've got a precious one there, mrP. Well, so does he ;)

2:20 am

Andree

he thought we would have to wait a while for clues but no he is very stoic

2:20 am

mrpresident

He is rather wonderful! lucky us and luckier me!!

2:23 am

sprite

On a side note, not at all related to the present conversation: wouldn't 'purfert' be a much better spelling of the word?

2:24 am

jillibus

yeah, like purf, murph

2:24 am

sprite

It would even give us 'purferted' today.

2:27 am

mrpresident

That justifies my playing today :) Learned two new words already!

2:39 am

Hey Sprite

3:04 am

Actually up early. Doing evacuations for special needs people later today due to the storm. Wanted to get some play time in before the onslaught.

3:05 am

That's some schedule for today, Odin. Hope all goes well.

3:06 am

ExWren

Hi everyone. Grid not too big today, what is it like?

3:06 am

jillibus

Yes - good luck to all of you down there

3:06 am

sprite

Hi ExWren, it is nice. And no real Re-words for you today!

3:07 am

Odin

I think the storm will bring alot of rain and some heavy winds but after the last few not much in comparison (which is good). The emergency managers are skiddish though and want to fill the shelters as a precaution.

3:07 am

jillibus

Hi exwren - a couple of geniuses finished in about an hour so it must be ok - not too much trouble here but this slowpoke isn't halfway yet

3:07 am

spellit

Yippee! Fireworks - now what to do?

3:08 am

I can't blame them. Better be prepared for the worst.

WTG spellit!

3:17 am

jillibus

Douglas is the quoter par excellence and includes clues

3:18 am

Ray100

technically yes but they entered into everyday language (in the UK anyway) many years ago.....it's like saying "hoover" isn't a legit word (probably isn't in BabbleLand?

3:18 am

sprite

True... without telling for which words, which makes it even more interesting :)

3:18 am

Ray100

Hi Jillibus

Hello. Can't understand why it won't accept niff and niffed. Perfectly good words for a smell, where I come from! A nasty niff in the air.

6:27 am

Jacula

hydra - Hadn't spotted those, but you have given me a guitar word or two to go with the fr4.:)

6:27 am

hydra

Oh good!

6:27 am

Atalante

Oh thanks! LOL

6:30 am

Atalante

6:44 am

Jacula

Glad I'm not alone, hydra.:)

6:45 am

hydra

My mind is like the proverbial sewer, Jacula.

6:46 am

Jacula

Phantom word: 'frump'.

6:48 am

Jacula

6:48 am

P.J.

I come up with a lot of words but thier not in the ouzzle, dose that happen to anyone else?

6:48 am

lynxxx

Jac - you got the fr4.7 - did you get the ri ones?

6:49 am

Jacula

lynn - the guitar or itchy ones? Yes.

6:50 am

Becca Lorum

6:50 am

hydra

No lurex either

6:50 am

Jacula

hydra - Good for you! That sounds like an excellent progression for a Child of the 60s. (I mean it. Not being sarky.)

6:51 am

hydra

Thanks. I do a sex problem column too. It's great fun.

6:52 am

P.J.

Thanks hydra,at least I am not alone.

6:52 am

Jacula

Hi inge. Was he due to have one then? I didn't know. Hope he's OK.

6:54 am

P.J.

oops,wrong person. Thanks Becca!

6:54 am

Jacula

hydra - I've always recycled. Came from a generation brought up by parents who'd been children in WWII. Make do and mend, waste not want not etc. BTW, I used to write 'tongue-in-cheek (no pun intended) mucky stories for a women's erotic mag.

6:54 am

hydra

Oh. I thought you meant you wrote for men's mags too!

6:54 am

inge

6:56 am

hydra

12 words left to find, then I can actually do some work.

6:57 am

Jacula

hydra - That's great! Let us know the title or ISBN no when it comes out. I, for one, shall certainly take a look.

6:58 am

hydra

If you';re feeling brave. grab a Fiesta from the top shelf of the newsagents and look for Mars In Venus, my horoscope column (all done properly - or rather, improperly) and either Bad Sex or Sex Problems. I write both.

6:59 am

Atalante

wow hydra! do you have a good nom de plume for them? hot hydra or something?

6:59 am

hydra

Which mag did you write for, Jacula?

6:59 am

Jacula

55 words left here. I need to go out to order some glass to replace a broken pane on the greenhouse roof (where Conference pears bounced off it last year!) and a broken pane in the rabbit shed (where my daughter slid it open too enthusiastically). Also need to scour the charity shops for some plain net curtain to pin across the hutch fronts. (One of our rabbits got 'flystrike' on Sunday. Caught it just in time. He's on anti-biotics, but will be okay.)

7:01 am

hydra

Jac, I have just taken down a heap of plain nets fromm my house. I could send them to you if you like. I've replaced them with lacy ones. I'll put my email address in my Profile.

7:03 am

Jacula

hydra - Thank you! That's wonderful. Will contact you.

7:04 am

Rachway

Hello I have one word left could anyone help me please..... it's the FE6/33

7:05 am

Jacula

hydra - Re the mags I wrote for - my brain's gone blank. There was a short-lived women's mag (Ludus, I think?), a Northern & Shell mag and one called Erotic Stories. There were a couple more but I can't remember which.

7:05 am

7:07 am

Rachway

Wicked, thanks Hydra, I've done it!!!

7:07 am

Jacula

hydra - Fiesta rings a bell. I think it was their editor who nabbed one of my stories from the women's mag ed. She rang me one evening to ask if I minded him having my story.

7:08 am

hydra

Can't have been. The ed's male and has been for years, unless he wears a frock in private!

7:08 am

lynxxx

Congrats Rachway!

7:08 am

Jacula

Dorens

hi fmitch

9:11 am

raelite

I thought it meant other husband

9:12 am

Jacula

ladyn - He's not my hubby, 'partner' sounds like a business arrangement, 'boyfriend' sort of daft at our age, so, Other Half...

9:12 am

Jacula

other husband? ROFLOL. One was enough!

9:12 am

CJ25

9:13 am

FMitch

Can you imagine having 2 husbands!!! as you said Jacs one was enough.... appropriate word Torgone

9:13 am

CJ25

torgone - I just found that word about 30 secs ago :)

9:13 am

Jacula

torg - you're the 3rd Babbler to type that word into the log today.

9:14 am

Dorens

i'm with you, jac--boyfriend sounds so ridiculous at our age

9:14 am

ladynoire1013

9:21 am

Jacula

Word round=up: 'There but not allowed' - lurex, durex, fedex, 're-message someone via mobile phone'. 'Phantoms' - inferno, frump, ferrule, fructose, putrid.

9:21 am

Jacula

Well, those are mine... so far.

9:22 am

raelite

how about sturdee?

9:22 am

ch1212

clue please for the mu5/6 combo (I am presuming) that follows what pigs like?

9:23 am

ladynoire1013

9:23 am

Jacula

rae - yes, I tried sturdee too.

klaurel

9:26 am

FMitch

Oh dear!!! real babble can be hard enough

9:26 am

Dorens

i think that could work

9:27 am

Dorens

sometimes the phantoms are esier to find, though

9:27 am

Jacula

FMitch - Yes, but it could be handy for a small,easy grid day...

9:27 am

FMitch

thats true

9:27 am

marso

is that an offer jac?,,,,1 sugar and milk plz

9:27 am

Dorens

alternative babble....we could have both from the same grid (and sorry, I CAN spell, just can't type)

9:28 am

ladynoire1013

9:43 am

klaurel

9:43 am

FMitch

Im usually the same caitly - that early is too early to be talking but ok to sit and try words.

9:44 am

Dorens

this is a particularly rich grid for phantom words today

9:45 am

caitlyn

My phantom word today is finder

9:45 am

faeriekae

Oh no........I love president Bush

9:46 am

faeriekae

he has helped us to keep the war where it belongs. NOT here

caitlyn

Sorry faerie !!!

Dorens

homonym for serious charm

9:46 am

shorty

some people shouldnt use stickers that offend other people i happen to loike him

9:46 am

faeriekae

I guess I should keep my opinions to myself though

9:47 am

shorty

like*

9:47 am

Dorens

no, we're all entitled to our opinions....that is the freedom that he talks about, isn't it?

9:47 am

faeriekae

Caitlyn you are a free woman and have your rights also so guess I better hush

9:47 am

faeriekae

HI Shorty !!!!!

9:48 am

shorty

thats rude and your not from the states

9:48 am

shorty

Hi faerie

9:48 am

chj

i think it will open a pandora's box to discuss politics in this chat

9:48 am

Dorens

No---it's allowed no matter where we're from...that is freedom. And some of my best friends like him...doesn't change things

9:49 am

caitlyn

Im sorry if i have offended anyone but you are only reading what you think is there

9:49 am

Dorens

Hi chj, and I think you're right

9:50 am

Dorens

oh cjh, you're right in more ways than one...just read your icon...my dad was a lawyer and incredibly honorable...it took years for me to understand the whole lawyer reputation thing.

9:50 am

Charm

I was listening this morning to some radio jocks complaining about the state of New Orleans since Katrina and how badly the gov't has treated the people there. But I think if people here saw how people elsewhere in the world are treated (after the tsunami, for example), we should all be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy. And we should use all those freedoms responsibly. Ok - that's it - I'll get off my soapbox and get back to the grid.

9:50 am

faeriekae

ok I'm off to work now have fun babbling everyone :)

klaurel

Dorens, to sing the prises of someone (other than fush) :D

10:14 am

Dorens

klaurel

We have nice, damp, cool weather which is such a nice change of pace

10:17 am

10:17 am

Charm

10:17 am

abe79

10:18 am

10:18 am

Dorens

charm, the funny thing is i loved your clue (in terms of what you're saying), but I didn't get it!

10:18 am

stidmama

our weather is in the process of changing, but I am pretty sure most of the moisture will go to the north of us.

10:18 am

10:22 am

Charm

mine's 80 pounds of puppyhood and 5 years old. He'll stop. eventually, but I know it's annoying, especially for the ladies.

10:23 am

raelite

what kind of dog do you have? I've always wanted a big one

10:23 am

stidmama

I would like to say something really nice about an author... I am just walking on air.

10:23 am

kalea

lol........lots of dogs do that, but a knee in the chest might cure it

10:23 am

klaurel

Mine is a 56 pound Husky/Chow (and we think some collie) and he can be annoying. It was hilarious when he walked up behind the 14 year old cat this morning and started sniffing her butt. She was not amused

10:24 am

inge

I am also back, glad to see you found new topics of conversation, Dachshund alsocant sni** taht body part.

10:24 am

Grant wanted to find the sequel to a book he just finished and really enjoyed -- "Dragonhome" by John Peel.

10:24 am

10:24 am

raelite

they sound so cute!

10:24 am

Charm

yay, Dorens!

10:24 am

stidmama

I looked everywhere, finally concluded there probably wasn't one.

10:25 am

klaurel

I am actually reading, Chasing Vermeer, a tween book and it is pretty good

10:25 am

inge

stid, try the internet, or have a librarian look it up...per phone of curse

10:25 am

stidmama

Then I found the author's website and he has many many books (including some Star Trek and Dr. Who)... and a message link.

10:25 am

bean66

fe 6,33 anyone??

10:25 am

Charm

Stid - did you check out Amazon or Powell's or ABEbooks?

10:25 am

inge

back to the ADD WORD box, later

10:26 am

stidmama

So I wrote to him explaining our dilemma... and he just wrote back! He says the "Diadem" series has the same combination of things that Grant enjoys (fantasy and magic) and should work for him!

10:26 am

Charm

fe6/33 = fe + consonant + potent carribean liquor (Capt Morgan)

10:26 am

10:26 am

bean66

got it..thanks all

10:27 am

Dorens

thanks abe, charm....charm good luck with the weather..i'm off now, check in later

10:27 am

stidmama

I am so pleased that he responded so quickly, and so grateful that he took the time. Apparently the original published of "Dragonhome" isn't interested in publishing a sequel... which I think is a shame. There must be many people out there who would like it.

10:27 am

kalea

nice of him to write back, stid

10:27 am

klaurel

Jaime, the past tense of 6/21

10:27 am

Charm

tu8/50 = tu6 are the things atop castles. tu8 is the past tense.

10:27 am

Jaime

i don't have 6/21 either :)

10:27 am

Charm

bye, Dorens

10:28 am

Jaime

awesome, thanks

10:28 am

klaurel

TU 6/21 is the big ole' round part of a castle or the part of a tank where people shoot out of

10:28 am

stidmama

Anyway, I like to support nice people, so I am putting in a plug for Mr. Peel here. I think he's awesome.

10:28 am

kalea

will keep that in mind.......ty stid

10:28 am

stidmama

and the TU 6 leads right into a TU 8! thanks klaurel!

10:29 am

raelite

are you suggesting we all go buy this book to make the publisher print a second volume?

10:29 am

klaurel

let me know how the diadem series is, Stid, my son is into those

10:29 am

stidmama

LOL -- no raelite, but perhaps some of his other books would interest the highly literate folks on this list!

10:30 am

klaurel

If he likes fantasy and dragons, Random House recently put the old Dragonlance books by Weis and Hickman out for kids. They dumbed it down a little and turned from a trilogy to a 6-book series

10:30 am

raelite

it's cool...I'll go buy a copy today

10:30 am

Charm

what about the Pern series?

10:31 am

KKCryptic

dragonriders of pern is a superb fantasy series

10:31 am

KKCryptic

anne mccafferey is an excelent author

10:31 am

mattygroves

I liked the Pern series, though I find McCaffery's habit of marrying off all her strong women annoying...

10:31 am

stidmama

I don't know if Grant would be into anything dumbed-down. He reads mostly teen and adult books, but I will look for the originals next time we go to Powell's in Portland. [Another plug -- Powell's City of Books in Portland Oregon, HUGE used and new bookstore, searchable from online, and a coffee shop in one corner... I love it]

10:31 am

Hi there

cl7 and 8??

10:32 am

klaurel

My 10 year old loves the books, How old is Grant?

10:32 am

Charm

cl7 = when something bad happens, you need to find cl***** so you can move on with your life. change the middle 's' to another consonant.

10:32 am

Becca Lorum

Hi everyone

10:32 am

abe79

hi there. sounds like haute c****** fashion

10:32 am

stidmama

I used to have most of the Pern books, I think they were damaged 18 years ago when my storage locker flooded because I can only find a couple. I enjoy McCaffrey, but Grant wasn't too interested in the Pern books I have.

10:33 am

klaurel

but it starts with what blood does when it bleeds

10:33 am

Charm

and past tense.

10:34 am

Becca Lorum

Charm, great clue. Thanks

10:34 am

stidmama

I also liked the Katherine Kurtz (sp?) Camber of Culdi series. Had a standing order at a local bookstore for the newest ones as they came out. Used to sit by the phone and wait for the owner to tell me it was in...

10:34 am

bean66

fe 5,18..the last one?

10:34 am

yw. and done.

10:34 am

Charm

last fe5/18 = past tense of the party word before it.

10:34 am

abe79

Yay Charm!

10:38 am

Charm

At the moment, I'm reading E.E.Knight's Valentine (Vampire Earth) series - an interesting alt. universe.

10:38 am

Jaime

i'm new to science fiction. My husband loves Stephen Lawhead and just recommended Ender's Game to me. I loved it!

10:38 am

hetty

Good morning all. Alan and I have just been delihting in the company of 18 quail under our bedroom window--plump and preening as they stuff themselves with seed. Four males, eight fully grown females, and the rest this year's chicks but now quite sizeable.

10:38 am

Jaime

does anyone have the te 7 and te 8 words?

10:38 am

raelite

I just cant get into scifi

10:39 am

Charm

Jaime, my sister is a great OSCard fan.

10:39 am

raelite

I love watching the quail too hetty

10:39 am

Jaime

cool, Charm. I haven't read the rest of the series.

10:39 am

sapphie1

i love 'space opera' really into Elizabeth Moon and david Weber

10:39 am

Angelsong

the te 7 and 8 build from the a te4 that a college student needs. the 8 is a past tense ending.

10:39 am

Charm

te8 = some wallpaper which is not smooth is te****** (past tense). drop the 'd' for the te7.

10:40 am

Jaime

But my husband thought it was a big deal when Orson Scott Card plugged the movie Serenity (I didn't know who he was at the time). I love Firefly and SErenity!

10:40 am

hetty

Jaime te7 and te8 (pastv tense of verb) have to do with the feel of a fabric or apparent density of a visual image--build on te4

10:40 am

Jaime

thanks guys!!

10:40 am

Charm

raelite, maybe you've not read the kind of scifi which appeals to you? There's such a great variety of subgenres.

10:40 am

Charm

Sorry, Jaime, not familiar with either of those....

10:41 am

hetty

I'm onto the mu's and can't find the second mu6/27--I have the "mu**** most foul"

10:41 am

raelite

that's likely the case...I do love historical fiction though, it's my favorite so that's kind of like sci fi

10:41 am

Jaime

Firefly was Joss Whedon's latest work, a tv show that stupid Fox cancelled. And SErenity is the movie that came out of the show and was actually quite good unlike other movies coming out of shows.

10:42 am

raelite

it's the science of history with fictional stories

10:42 am

Jaime

I love that genre too, raelite.

Charm

raelite, you could try alternate histories - what if Columbus didn't find the new world? what if Germany won the world wars? what if the Colonies didn't gain independence from Britain? those are a lot of fun. And you could start with an anthology or two to discover authors and subgenres.

10:44 am

12:43 pm

ladynoire1013

it always happens, I ask for a clue, then find the word

12:44 pm

hurshy

that's called "pulling a peri"

12:44 pm

ladynoire1013

so to peri is now a verb?

12:44 pm

ladynoire1013

someone call Babble quick

12:45 pm

hurshy

no, pull is the verb, peri is still a noun

12:45 pm

Vicuna

(and Babble does take the noun peri.)

12:45 pm

ladynoire1013

coolness!

12:46 pm

Dachef

"pulling a peri"? That sounds rude. Most health manuals discourage you from doing that. They say you could go blind.

12:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

clue for ex 6 virtue please?

12:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

nevermind...

12:49 pm

torgone

Do you Brits still say "pulling birds" for getting girls?

12:49 pm

ladynoire1013

How about the mu5/14, the one right before dogs of dubious character?

12:50 pm

hurshy

add vowel to mu4 before that

12:50 pm

Vicuna

mu5/14 - sea bird, add a vowel to the previous mu4.

12:50 pm

MVA

missing first ex 5/20, clues pls?

12:50 pm

hurshy

heya torgone!

12:50 pm

snowyowl

Brits that do shouldn't tor! LOL

12:50 pm

torgone

heya hurshy!

12:50 pm

Vicuna

ex5/20 - put forth effort

12:51 pm

torgone

Is that a rude phrase?

12:51 pm

hurshy

"heya hurshy!" isn't rude at all

12:51 pm

MVA

perhaps 2nd one cos i have that, sorry

12:51 pm

ladynoire1013

Ah, another sea bird

12:52 pm

hurshy

how can there be so many sea birds? where do they land when they need a rest?

12:52 pm

Vicuna

They land only on large rocks far out to sea.

12:53 pm

snowyowl

not really -but we've got so PC here! It just sounds really old fashioned now - I think going out 'on the pull' is the saying of the moment!

12:53 pm

ladynoire1013

ok, going to lunch, back soon

12:53 pm

hurshy

what if they can't make it? do they fall in the sea and drown?

12:53 pm

Vicuna

ex5/20 - praise, ends like what you pay on the turnpike

12:53 pm

Dachef

all the sea birds are outside my houise - attacking the swans.

12:53 pm

Vicuna

No, the other saebirds gather round and hold them up. It's quite touching really.

12:54 pm

MVA

thanks vicuna

12:54 pm

Vicuna

But Dachef, I thought you'd deterned your yard. Have they reterned?

12:54 pm

hurshy

aw, they're almost as good as dolphins then!

12:54 pm

snowyowl

The three yr old just counting for a game of hide & seek...... nine...ten... eleventy!

12:55 pm

MVA

bbl

12:55 pm

hurshy

btw, did you know that dolphin trainers have a signal for "do any trick you want", and the dolphins all go under and communicate with each other and come out and do the same trick in sync

12:55 pm

Vicuna

Just kidding. If one of them falters, the others probably peck it to death and eat it. What do I know?

12:55 pm

Dachef

my window looks out over the marina (yup, posh!), and every time I try and check bread at the swans about a million seagulls appear ouit of thin air and attack them.

12:56 pm

Vicuna

That's cool, hurshy!

12:56 pm

hurshy

i know, it's so amazing

12:56 pm

bubba218

s7,36 please

12:57 pm

snowyowl

We were at the Marina last Monday Dachef -what happened to all the bars & night clubs -You ought to look at setting up a really classy something down there.

12:57 pm

Vicuna

sl7/36 - the way Dachef talked after a few too many beers

12:57 pm

hurshy

and also, experimenters have found that some animals like chimps and parrots actually have abstract concepts. like if you show them things that are square, and then you bring them a tray full of things they have never seen, you can say, pick out the square ones, and they will.

12:57 pm

hurshy

or red or whatever

12:58 pm

Vicuna

Wow, I'm almost as smart as a parrot!

12:58 pm

bubba218

Thanks, Vic, I thought i tried that, but then again maybe I didn't

12:58 pm

As long as they learn how to taste good . .

12:59 pm

hurshy

TOR!

12:59 pm

snowyowl

I don't think the 3 yr old has grasped the concept of hide & seek yet. Every time it's her turn to hide she shouts cockadoodledoo!!!! from her hiding place until someone finds her!

1:00 pm

Dachef

1:00 pm

torgone

What? I had parrot tacos and monkey stew for supper last night ..

1:01 pm

hurshy

ah, snowy, when i was a kid i would hide without telling my mom i was going to, so then i would call out, "say, 'where's (hurshy)?'" and my mom would say it (with my real name of course), and i would say, "say, 'where could she be?'", and she would say that too

1:02 pm

Dachef

I played hide-and-seek with my parents when i was a kid. I once hid in the garage for 3 years. I dont think my parents really wanted to find me.

1:02 pm

hurshy

*studiously ignores tor*

1:02 pm

Vicuna

My kids still think the point of any hiding game is for the hider to show the searcher the hidden thing as soon as possible. (It doesn't matter whether the hidden thing is themselves or some little toy.)

1:03 pm

hurshy

*pats dachef on the back*

1:03 pm

torgone

Just kidding ..
I'm an imp, you know ..

1:03 pm

hurshy

so you've mentioned :)

1:03 pm

Vicuna

I've been tempted to fail to find mine... I think that's why at this age they all make SURE they're found without delay.

1:05 pm

CiociaJudy

2:24 pm

Tulipp

a quick question for you experts? I've read the help files, and there's just one thing: if you don't already know a specific word, is there a way to see that you're missing, say, CL7? Or do you only that after you find it? Thanks for your help!

2:24 pm

chj

or just by a symbol

2:24 pm

torgone

What's Pluto now, a planette?

2:24 pm

chj

that looks like pluto the dog

2:24 pm

raelite

2:26 pm

scv

i read a list of funny ones somewhere

2:26 pm

TheFiz

tulipp - if you scroll down there's a list of "friends of babble". You can get stats for all the possible games off the Babbler's Anonymous site (under general info, i think) or Lickety's Babble Clues

2:26 pm

raelite

yeah, like he could see pluto clearly in 1930

2:27 pm

CiociaJudy

Is there a website to offer Pluto our sympathies? Maybe donations to the Bring Back Pluto Fund.

2:27 pm

raelite

he just guessed it was there because of the movements

2:27 pm

Most vexing experience, mother just served us nothing!

Tulipp

2:29 pm

TheFiz

yw tulipp

2:29 pm

scv

2:29 pm

Takuma Sato

My connection's been quite bad, so this is late, but the new 'planet' definition I saw ended up excluding not only Pluto, but Neptune and Earth as well...

2:29 pm

We;; rolin, mine is not very clear either, but you can read it when you enlarge it

2:29 pm

CiociaJudy
