12:30 am

helenkeller

chic - i wish i lived in LA right now, just so i could help organize boycotts

12:31 am

MayneGuy

can't believe "snofie" isn't a word - just seems it shoudl be

12:31 am

chic

Let's send debb over with a sign or two!

12:31 am

mymuseisme

nite Ping! pleasant dreams

12:31 am

helenkeller

i think it's interesting arrianna huffington got involved, but i must say i agree with her, when the shows refuse to police their reality show contestants, then someone's gotta do it - i can't tolerate his remarks about women

12:31 am

debbinla

the evil guy won??

12:32 am

helenkeller

that's right debb- do us a favor would you?

12:32 am

chic

yes he did debb...

12:32 am

debbinla

sure! i'm on your side!

12:32 am

harpjane

lol Mayne Girl! snofie

12:32 am

helenkeller

yes debb - could you please go picket in front of his restaurant or throw a tomato on it, or walk your dog past it, you know, after feeding time

12:33 am

debbinla

yikes - what restaurant is it?

12:33 am

debbinla

lol helen

12:33 am

chic

good one helen

12:33 am

MayneGuy

dontcha think so harpjane?

12:33 am

helenkeller

debb rocks! yeah, there's another geat idea, throw some rocks at him!

12:34 am

jillibus

I don't watch "real;ity" shows - saw the first Survivor a bit and it seems to me they bring out the worst in the contestants and the nastiest win - horrible

12:34 am

gailinrb

back up, plz... who are we panning...??

12:34 am

helenkeller

there's a couple - dolce group- you can look it up on the internest - one is called dolce something, another is geisha house (i think) he's starting some in atlanta - he better not come here!

12:35 am

harpjane

I think snoz should be a word, too.

12:35 am

chic

at least Janie got the $25,000

12:35 am

debbinla

i don't watch it gail - but they're all talking about big brother - tonight was the last show and the guy who won seems horrible -treats women bad - and is just a pig (did i get it right?)

12:36 am

helenkeller

jili - some people's 'worst' is way, way worse than others -we got a real gem here :(

12:36 am

jillibus

gail - I think it's a nasty guy on Big Brother who won, name of boob or something

12:36 am

gailinrb

boob! lol

12:36 am

helenkeller

ok - boob works for me - lol

12:36 am

gailinrb

thanks. i don't watch much network tv.

12:38 am

Nef

I think the networks are really filthy these days; can't stand them at all

12:38 am

helenkeller

chic - yay for jani!! did you see how hurt she looked by the things james said - wait until she see the jase rap & wait until she see that will sat through the whole thing & didn't say anything at all - i feel bad for some of these people - the ones with sensebilities

12:38 am

MayneGuy

absolutely harpjane - snoz is another great word that shoulda been

12:39 am

firefly779

i tried "snoz" too ;)

12:39 am

chic

did you see how Boog and erika never hugged each other at the end ; they couldn't even look at each either....

12:43 am

helenkeller

chic - actually, i missed alot of the little stuff - i taped it & am going to watch it before i go to sleep - there are a bunch of people in pac & mount time zones that wren't getting the show live & our rgular play-by-play gal didn't show up, so i did it for them so they could know what was happening

12:43 am

FranMag

it'll sort itself out on it's own jilli, refreshing doesn't do anything.

12:43 am

nrkii

12:43 am

metaleather

Ithink so, for a short time

2:17 am

itzie

I think I finished, but I'm not sure because I didn't get any fireworks. I'm wondering if that's because I don't have pro.

amandacath

*without the c, of course

3:15 am

sprite

Seriously, I really thought sidhe was a word. For the elvenfolk.

3:15 am

metaleather

ditto sprite

3:15 am

Atalante

its Sidhe

3:16 am

sprite

Ah, okay. At least I am not crazy. Just disfunctional with capitals :)

3:16 am

amandacath

folt = foal + colt (I never can remember the difference between the two anyway, if there even is one, so why not just one word for both?)

3:16 am

sprite

isn't a colt a male foal? As opposed to filly?

3:17 am

metaleather

well, zion is a word, with or without the capital, although the dictionary does not agree

3:17 am

amandacath

possibly, Sprite - I never had a horse-phase, so my equinology isn't quite up to par

3:18 am

FMitch

foal is the offspring of a horse, filly is the female and colt is the male then they grow into mares and stallions or geldings if they have had their bits chopped off :)

3:19 am

amandacath

maybe the sidhe are with the ents, picketing to be included in the word list

3:19 am

sprite

colt:
1. a young male animal of the horse family.
2. a male horse of not more than four years of age.
3. a young or inexperienced person.

3:20 am

My favorite canon, meta. "By the waters of Babylon we laid down and wept for thee, Zion".

3:38 am

FMitch

mkl - ti4/4 rows or ti**s in a theatre

3:39 am

sprite

That's sad, Karys. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost my love. Carry on, of course, but it would be really tough.

Karys

PappouTed

3:48 am

Odin

Mornin' Y'all

FMitch

co7 & 8 - person who looks after cattle and pl

3:55 am

Haz1558

Bye Karys - see you later.

3:58 am

allfleshisgrass

more bovine? is that like more pregnant?

3:59 am

mkl

Think about Batman punching Joker. Big word in bubble over their heads

3:59 am

FMitch

and a z4 that is z + 3 vowels

3:59 am

FranMag

zo + t** (hot bev)

3:59 am

sprite

The z4 is like the babblet T4.
Means any of the free-swimming larva of certain crustaceans, as the crab, having rudimentary legs and a spiny carapace

4:01 am

amandacath

ah! gottem! Thanks all The babblet t gave it away!(which I was also missing)

4:01 am

Haz1558

4:02 am

PappouTed

4:02 am

sprite

allflesh, I do know people who are C6 than others :)

4:03 am

allfleshisgrass

the word is not in any dictionary I have access to

4:05 am

mkl

Last word till fireworks. Need help with co6,33. Pretty please

4:05 am

sprite

allflesh: it is in a couple of word lists, but I cannot find it specified as entry anywhere either. But the meaning is clear :)

4:05 am

sprite

mkl: more bovine!

4:05 am

PappouTed

think of the last 3 letters of the ti4 word

4:06 am

sprite

comparative of animal that goes Moooooo

4:06 am

Haz1558

co6/33 - insert a vowel into the quivering co5/20

4:06 am

mkl

Fireworks. But that was a stupid word

4:06 am

PappouTed

yay!

4:06 am

FranMag

yay mkl!

4:06 am

Odin

WTG mkl

4:06 am

4:07 am

Anyone else who needs clues?

4:07 am

sprite

*could very well be

4:08 am

M3

co 5 /22 please

4:08 am

metaleather

the re5/12s between the 4/5 and the 4/7. I've gone more cross-eyed looking for them

4:08 am

sprite

M3: snugly warm and comfy. Co6 is comparative.

4:09 am

FMitch

Is the co5/22 snuggly and warm - a US spelling? Make it more so for the 6

4:09 am

ExWren

Morning! I'm only just starting so just have one z so far

4:09 am

metaleather

good morning Wren

4:09 am

M3

thanks x

4:10 am

sprite

meta: take the word for standing up stiffly. Loose first letter. Put a different vowel at the end for the 2 words.

4:10 am

FMitch

Morning ExWren

4:10 am

PappouTed

hi wren

4:10 am

FranMag

fmitch, i'm thinking it's a tea co5/22?

4:10 am

Kateq

Morning, all!
FMitch the co/5 spelling is new to me

4:10 am

ExWren

morning meta, how is it today?

4:10 am

FranMag

hi kateq!

4:10 am

FMitch

Maybe it's just an alt sp then

4:10 am

metaleather

it's good today

4:11 am

sprite

Not too many Re-words, ExWren and you will find most of them easily.

4:11 am

metaleather

morning Kateq

4:11 am

FranMag

thanks for that co, i had the comparative, not that one.

4:12 am

Haz1558

re5/12 - to respond to a situation (don't know if this is the one you are looking for)

4:12 am

allfleshisgrass

The meaning is clear? Sure? More easily bovined? More herbevore? Without a definition, the word means whatever the user pleases. But, I belabor.

4:12 am

metaleather

ty Haz, but it's the two after that one

4:12 am

FranMag

haz, the other two re5/12s look like prefixes for squarish things.

4:13 am

FMitch

2nd re5 is the name for the right hand side of a book

4:13 am

metaleather

tytyty Fran

4:13 am

sprite

Did you see my clue, meta?

4:13 am

amandacath

...or like prefixes for colonesqe things

4:13 am

Haz1558

co*y is the adjective from which co6 is the comparative. It's indicated in online dictionaries as an adjective for the bovine. I agree that you can't make a comparative adjective out of a noun.

4:14 am

amandacath

105 words, is that right?

4:14 am

FMitch

yes amanda

4:14 am

sprite

Absolutely, amanda. Finished?

4:25 am

PappouTed

ah i remembered them but i had no idea it meant that. there is my learn something new for today! :)

10:43 am

cybernan

hurshy -- think of another word for upright - drop the first vowel and add a different vowel at the end for each word

10:43 am

Bugzy

Wait, there are 2 re5/12s together?

10:43 am

hurshy

this leaves me 2 more, an F6 and an S6 from the bottom.

10:43 am

Merk

Help please, 'fo 5,16'. Thanx.

10:44 am

hurshy

(i thought verso was a game, by-the-by)

10:44 am

hurshy

plural fish for merk

10:44 am

cybernan

fo 6/42: more like Henry Winkler's role on Happy Days -- drop middle consonant

10:44 am

Merk

Fish?

10:45 am

hurshy

the hitting oneself kind, not the word itself.

10:45 am

cybernan

sh 6: taming of the sh*** + consonant

10:45 am

klaurel

which S6, hurhsy, SE or SH?

10:46 am

hurshy

se, i guess :)

10:46 am

chj

the word re5/12 has more meaning than just to redo an act..you can re*** without ever having done an act in the first place

10:46 am

Bugzy

Are the 2 re5/12s at the beginning of the list, or right before the re4/7?

10:46 am

lmj643

sh6/36...clever

10:46 am

klaurel

SH - Sly and canny (or add a D to Shakepeare's Beatrice)

10:46 am

hurshy

AND plural fish for ME!

10:46 am

Hi there

ac6 and ac7???

10:46 am

hurshy

ty klaurel

10:46 am

chj

so in that sense i dont consider it like one of your normal prefix words

10:47 am

klaurel

Whoops, Got my shakespeare mixed up, I mean Kate

10:47 am

chj

like re** ...if you take off the re you still have a word...if

10:47 am

Hi there

nvm - got them...FIREWORKS~~~~~

10:47 am

klaurel

yay, hi!

10:47 am

cybernan

have you finished, Hurshy?

10:47 am

hetty

Good morning everyone. Sees to be a great babblet day today. I've found so many that give me the sense of deja-vu--to say nothing of enjoying re*** ve***conundrums! My own grnd to a halt has just come with one of the to5/1's. I have the turreted edifice. Any ideas about the other please?

10:47 am

klaurel

okay, have to run. Have to play with Powerpoint cfor awhile

10:47 am

cybernan

Congrats, Hi

10:48 am

hurshy

lol but in that case, chj, the word you are left with is completely unrelated. i think the re5 is different because it doesn't depend on you having done anything, true, but it does depend on some act having occurred.

10:48 am

hurshy

yes cnan i is done

10:48 am

Merk

I'm still here with the fo 5,16 and fish or not, I don't get it.

10:48 am

cybernan

congrats, hurshy

10:49 am

Merk

Congratulations, Hurshy

10:49 am

hurshy

arial, times new roman, comic sans MF, etc etc merk

10:49 am

cybernan

fo 5/16: pluralize the fo 4/7 before it

10:49 am

hetty

Merk, fo5/16 is plural of fo4/7

10:50 am

cybernan

Merk -- do you have 3 fo 4/7's in a row?

10:50 am

Merk

Oh I did something really stupid. I have that one. I keep typing into the wrong boxes. Thanx.

10:50 am

cybernan

sorry -- 4 4/7's in a row

10:50 am

hetty

Nan.do you have the second to5/18?

10:50 am

chj

but the normal and most comon use of re5/12 is not that something is being repeated...you are doing an act that may be totally different from the act that stimulated it

10:50 am

Merk

No, it's the 4,7 I am missing.

10:51 am

Merk

I have my enemies and the arial, times new roman.

10:51 am

hurshy

sure, it may be totally different, but it was in fact stimulated by some act. a4s are a4s, even if their contents are completely different.

10:51 am

cybernan

fo 4/7's: enemies, homonym for baby deer, type face

10:51 am

hetty

there are two fo4/7's--one is the Winkler character and the other the place where babies are baptised

10:52 am

Merk

thanx

10:52 am

hurshy

lol, chj, anyway, i am just arguing for the sake of arguing, i don't really feel attached to this position.

10:52 am

hetty

and also enemies)

10:52 am

cybernan

also an fo 4/5: offensive

10:53 am

cybernan

sorry can't type fo 4/8 = offensive

10:53 am

hetty

hursh or nan or anyone, do you have the to5/18?

10:53 am

hurshy

to5/18 add young golf prodigy michelle

10:54 am

cybernan

there are two to 5/18's: tall building and the one that rhymes with the yo and zo

10:54 am

hurshy

Hey Ree, are you there

So when you're happy (yay), or sad (aw)

an interjection starts the sentence right!

7:46 pm

stidmama

bye tinks -- sorry I missed your fireworks (YAY tinks!)

7:47 pm

stidmama

I like to grow vegetables, but (like my flowers) only grow things that pretty much take care of themselves. Nothing that requires fussing or lifting every year!

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

OK, now i read the definition. I was wondering why we would use a superlative of a plate

7:47 pm

arleneehm

by tinks

7:48 pm

asparagus, tomatoes, lettuces, beans and peas, squash. Corn every few years, an occasional misguided attempt at cukes. And Kale grows everywhere for me, it's a weed, but an edible one!

Scrabbler

My bunnies love kale.

7:50 pm

stidmama

I don't know if we ever gave the bunnies kale -- they loved clover blossoms and raspberry leaves, though!

8:49 pm

stidmama

Scrabbler, the 5/22 adds a letter at the end (count the points....)

8:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:49 pm

firefly779

GW - just read your "rant", and I thought you'd feel better knowing I've been treated poorly too, and I DO have insurance! Some places are just too busy I think...

8:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Last year I was tentatively diagnosed with a compressed disc, but the deductible on my insurance prevented me from getting it confirmed

Scrabbler

Ah, of course.....?

9:03 pm

stidmama

Very rude young man, Jacula, who was mean to our Jill!

9:03 pm

jillibus

woulf, I agree with you!! We have a subtler way, by putting a virtual "stop" on the computer so that the desk people are aware. I should explain that this library is unique in that it is run by about 150 volunteers and a part-time pro chief librarian who was busy at a meeting at the time.

9:04 pm

Jacula

I've been reading MTNJock's sister's message in BabAnon, and also thinking about changing my icon back to the irritating things one of the other day/// No, not MJ's sis! The craneflies, who are committing suicide in every liquid available in the house right now, including drinks. GRR!

Jacula

"Well, well," joked the doctor, "So you finally woke up! I bet you had some interesting dreams?"

Nan gasped at the sudden release, and the pain that ensued.

"Nan, we need to move you a little and change your clothes and the bedding. It is going to hurt. I can give you something to numb the pain, but it will still be uncomfortable. Do you understand?"

9:46 pm

stidmama

"Yes," affirmed Nan, her mouth dry.

9:46 pm

svso

9:46 pm

Cathyar

9:48 pm

Cathyar

9:48 pm

lbdawger

As promised, in spite of the pain relief, Nan cried out as Gilly slid the board and strips behind her.

9:48 pm

Cathyar

ac6/21...not a drama movie...not a horrow, but an ac6

9:49 pm

Jacula

Ac7/32 is what that man performed.

9:49 pm

Cathyar

ac6/32 is it's plural

9:49 pm

stidmama

Then in a swift move -- too quick for Nan to question it, Gilly cut off the little girl's shift from behind.

9:49 pm

jbp

Esmeralda set Nan back against the board, now propped up on the pillows and together she and Gilly took off Nan's clothes and gave her a gentle spongebath, exclaiming under their breaths at the many bruises where the cart had rolled over her .

9:51 pm

svso

10:35 pm

Cathyar

Cathyar

11:13 pm

Biltong

Yes, that's him. His name is Hercules. He's 4 now. I am seriously considering getting a pup here, but since we are not sure how long we are staying in the U.K. it might not be such a good idea!!

11:13 pm

Cathyar

(never heard of a doxie br)

11:14 pm

Biltong

Dachshund, sometimes referred to as Doxie.

11:14 pm

Cathyar

11:14 pm

Cathyar

11:17 pm

Cathyar

11:36 pm

stidmama

I had a little glass of wine, and that was nice.

11:36 pm

jillibus

the fuddle is from fatigue (see, I can still alliterate)

11:37 pm

stidmama

11:37 pm

jillibus

11:38 pm

stidmama

That's dear "Mother Anne" Jill -- she shows up from time to time, and then plural of her. I think there's also a SE*** Hall somewhere.

11:40 pm

Misu

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

stidmama

oh Misu, YAY! see you at flip then!

11:41 pm

stidmama

(sorry Jill, my brain is fighting with my eyes and neither one is telling the whole truth)

11:42 pm

sfneil

Hi folks! As usual, when I have time to stop in and babble, I do, but I hope you all forgive me if I don't chat as much as I used to. I'd love to, but I basically just go right for the puzzle these days, simply because I have so little time. Still, of course, I'm here to beg for your help: I have one 's' and one 'f' left to go. If anyone is kind enough to help, here are the 's'es and 'f's I have so far: se5/10
se6/18
sh5/12
sh5/12
sh5/18
sh4
/5
sh5/12
sh5/20
sh6/36
sn4/4
sn5/12
s
t4/4
st5/10
st4/8

fe4/8
fi4/7
fo4/7
f
o4/7
fo4/7
fo5/16
fo4/8... any help appreciated!

11:43 pm

sfneil

oops! that didn't come out right. sorry!

11:43 pm

stidmama

sf -- you need an SY 4/7

11:44 pm

jillibus

am I missing something, stid? It's the first sh5/12 i need and if the Hebrew thing is the clue I'm too ignorant for it

11:44 pm

stidmama

also fo 6/42 I think

11:44 pm

stidmama

Subject form of "her" + round vowel + stick...

11:45 pm

sfneil

many thanks, stidmama!

11:45 pm

stidmama

yw sf!

11:45 pm

stidmama

Jill, the actual definition of the sh 5/12 is "the abode of the dead or of departed spirits."

11:45 pm

jillibus

ta for the sh

11:47 pm

sfneil

got the sy, but not the fo 6/42!

11:47 pm

stidmama

sf -- f + end of the hook bishops carry a cr*****

11:48 pm

sfneil

You totally rock, stidmama!! Thanks so much!!

11:48 pm

stidmama

as long as it helps!

11:49 pm

stidmama

how you doing Jill? need any more "help" from me?

11:49 pm

jillibus

11 to get in 11 minutes...

11:49 pm

stidmama

go Jill go!

11:50 pm

sfneil

I feel bad because I used to have time to chat and help out others with clues, but I can't resist the puzzle, so now when I have time I just concentrate on solving... it makes me feel bad though because I feel like I'm ignoring the folks I got to know and like on babble... ugh.

11:50 pm

debbinla

hello my babbling friends!

11:51 pm

stidmama

it happens, sf. well all sorta drift in and out, jellyfish on the tide and so forth.

11:51 pm

stidmama

11:53 pm
