It worked pretty well for the Cardinals on Monday night...although the Bears found a way to win with 2 minutes and change left. Or should I say the Cardinals found a way to lose...

If anyone's interested in recipes, check out Babbler's Anonymous--the Recipe section which is under Other Interests. I just finished putting up a bunch more spice/seasoning/herb mix recipes and about 125 fall/winter soup recipes
3:48 am
metaleather
so far, the spice recipes are A-G. I'm working on the others and should have them up soon.
3:56 am
Jacula
Good morning metal. My, you have been busy! Glad to see someone saying they tried and enjoyed a recipe. It's always nice to have feedback, isn't it?
3:57 am
metaleather
it is indeed. kind of like seeing a child do well in school.
3:57 am
Jacula
Good analogy, metal.
3:58 am
Jacula
I was going to put some sauce recipes on but it'll have to wait until after my holiday next week.
3:58 am
metaleather
I love collecting the recipes... they're my way of living/eating vicariously. (my fella is a very plain eater and doesn't tolerate spices well.)
3:58 am

4:01 am
metaleather
it's a whopper today alright... not too sure about the good or bad yet. I'm not that far into it yet.
4:01 am
Jacula
It'll have to wait, metal, because I don't have the time to type them up on computer before my holiday. (I usually only post my own recipes or ones I have tried.) Not even sure I'll have time to Babble today! Got the weekly shopping to do, a casserole to get going when I get back and the local amateur dramatic society's play to see tonight. Packing tomorrow, etc. LOL
4:02 am
FranMag
of course i started anyway.
4:02 am

Hi all - just popping in -haven't had much time to chat this week. My son moved back home last week & have had decorating & 3 upset under 7s to deal with! Life has been a little fraught to say the least! To add insult to injury I looked up at my kitchen ceiling on Monday morning & spotted a suspicious looking stain which provrd to be a leaking bath waste pipe! Still not fixed as our insurers as the gas co. ^ the plumbers are unable to get synchronised! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:03 am
FranMag
oh no snowy!! i don't even know where to begin!

4:09 am

hi wolvie, the first half was easy enough, but the second half I'm stuck
6:10 am
Haz1558
Hello Wolvie - it's a big grid and looking so unlikely to yield that number of words that I'm doing my words in Lickety's first.
6:10 am
ARB
shlomi b'seder bichon
6:11 am
Wolvie
whoa. Now I am worried. I usually break out lickety for the last few, think I'll break it out early. :-)
6:11 am
ARB
Hi wolvie -- dive in, the water's not freezing
6:11 am
ARB
I managed without a list for the first 160 words
6:12 am
Haz1558
It's just that I know that I have limited time today and would rather enjoy finding the words I can than fret too much about not finding the hidden ones.
6:13 am
ARB
I know that feeling, of trying to get everything in in less than enough time.
6:13 am
Wolvie
okay - will not do list right off - just changed my icon to go with today's theme...
6:14 am
pida 1
Nice icon, Wolvie, was mine the one that made you think on ents.......
6:15 am
Wolvie
loved yours pida - so kept to my star trek theme - you did inspire me. :-)
6:23 am
pida 1
You must be a longtime fan of Trek, Wolvie. My daughter just told me which episode your icon was from (the cage). I sure don't remember it......
6:23 am
Wolvie
I am and I do pida. I watched it when if first came out - admittedly, i was in early grade school, but still - I have been a fan for as long as it has been around. :-)
6:25 am
pida 1
Well, back to the grid. The ur's are killing me
6:26 am
Wolvie
haven't started on those yet - decided to tackle the w's - have fun!
6:27 am
kthdsn
I have 5ur's so far
6:27 am
spanner
I am so impressed, that you are so methodical. I am more random, which probably explains why I am rubbish at this!!!!
6:28 am
Haz1558
Everybody has their own way of working. Do what feels comfortable for you.
6:28 am
Wolvie
is that for me spanner? I'm not usually this way - it's just I'm thinking I need to be today. I am also seeing other words and adding them as I go, of course.
6:30 am
kthdsn
I keep trying to find words beginning with that W in the bottom corner oops
6:30 am
spanner
The only things that really jump out at me are nonsense words, such as zitty (yesterday) which i still think sHOULD be a word!!!!
6:30 am
Wolvie
I've tried that a bit as well, kth. :-)
6:31 am
kthdsn
spanner keep trying, half the words usually are nonsense!
6:37 am
kthdsn
ooh some more ur's jumped out at me then :)
6:39 am
ARB
Anyone need any help before I get on with my other life?
6:40 am
kthdsn
can I have the c's from the bottom tile please?
6:40 am
Wolvie
appreciate the offer ARB, but I have only just gotten started, so I don't know what I need... hmm - maybe the u's from the top?
6:42 am
kthdsn
wolvie there's a us6/24 which sounds like something really annoying beginning with N, but missing a couple of letters
6:43 am
Wolvie
thanks kth - that sounds like the one I was looking for. :-)
6:43 am
kthdsn
the other one is us5/12, us + beginning of tidy
6:43 am
Wolvie
thanks. :-)
6:44 am

Hi ARB, Wolvie and anyone else who arrived while I was off icon hunting

Hi lickety - a bit tough, but cool
6:48 am
pida 1
very nasty, Lickety
6:49 am
kthdsn
hi lickety, it started off well but turned nasty
6:49 am
Haz1558
Hello lickety - reserving judgement, but it's not quite as bad as first feared.
6:49 am
metaleather
not nasty, but not.... comfy and fluffy either
6:52 am

The grid is driving me in**** or is it in*****? looks quite easy at first glance, but I'm struggling today.
6:53 am

morning annie, se ya later kthdsn, hi Dorens
6:53 am
Anniebrook
hi wolvie and dorens, is it as tough as it looks at first
6:53 am
Anniebrook
hi pida
6:53 am
Wolvie
a bit tricky today, fishbulb
6:54 am
Fishbulb
certainly is
6:54 am
Dorens
hi pida, metal, wolvie,annie...this isn't promising to be a quickie
6:54 am
Wolvie
not a quickie, not for me anyway
6:55 am
wurdygurl
anyone have any clues for the ac 6&7's
6:55 am
Wolvie
not me wurdy, sorry
6:55 am
Haz1558
ace6 - unreturnable tennis serve combined with spanish day.

Haz1558
And plural for ac7
6:56 am

thanks haz!
6:56 am

haz, super clue as usual

You're welcome.

Good morning Babblers. How is the grid?
6:57 am
pida 1
thnx Haz, I'm not even working the a's, but I had to take your clue.......
6:57 am
Anniebrook
hi scrabbler, not that easy
6:57 am
Dorens
not my favorite, scrabbler
6:57 am
Wolvie
hey scrabbler - slow -ish for me
6:57 am
pida 1
Morning, Scrabbler, I don't like it much.......
6:58 am
metaleather
mornin' Scrabbler, I'm slogging through it slowly
6:58 am
wurdygurl
I broke out the list at 86...alot of it had to do with Haz....alothough she doesn't have alot of time today she needs to be speedy...I figured that I would be here all day and never get finished
6:59 am
Charm
good morning!
6:59 am
wurdygurl
plus plugging it all in with 86 is a heck of a lot better than doing it with more...which I hate!
6:59 am
Anniebrook
hi charm
6:59 am
remluc
good morning all!!!
6:59 am
Wolvie
wurdy, I just hit 100 words, and I think I'm going to break out the list as well
6:59 am
Scrabbler
Well, I'll dive in and find some words before I leave for work, then return to night. My goal with big grids = 50%.
6:59 am
Haz1558
It's really more that I don't want to start entering the words in the word list and then have to put myself under pressure to finish. Putting them in Lickety's gives you the 'pleasure' of the grid without the pressure of having to finish once you have started.
6:59 am
Charm
Hi WOlvie, Annie, Dorens!
7:00 am
Anniebrook
hi remluc
7:00 am

hi all how many today please

arrgghhh - sorry

oh that is ok...I didnt have that one yet
7:02 am
Dorens
right, with a grid like this I'll take whatever comes my way
7:03 am
Scrabbler
TY, sandr--I just found several clues.
7:03 am
sandr
i just cant remember to click back on the add word box! sorry
7:03 am
sandr
i just cant remember to click back on the add word box! sorry
7:04 am
Scrabbler
It happens to all of us, and all you can do is apologize and laugh. The really funny part is when you enter a non-word that is ridiculous and you end up embarrassed.
7:04 am
Tiny
Good Evening Everyone
7:05 am
Scrabbler
Howdy Tiny.
7:05 am
Dorens
made 100 and now may be late for work....see you much later

Go Tigers! Detroit deserves a championship team.

7:08 am
wurdygurl
ok I cant count or spell too much time with my kids i suppose
7:09 am
Wolvie
I agree scrabbler - the last time they won, I lived in Michigan ( I was born there way before that!!)
7:09 am
Scrabbler
Oh, my monkey did that. I would have never typed in that kind of word.
7:09 am
wurdygurl
I know anniebrook..I am so excited! I used to go watch them with my dad back in the hey day...good memories
7:10 am
Scrabbler
In the 70's I was a big baseball fan, mostly of the Reds and Johnny Bench, so I remember Sparky and the others.
7:10 am
Anniebrook
Tonight is the deciding game for the National League ---I was not happy when the Tigers beat the Yankees (long time fan) but the Tigers deserve the Series...go Tigers!
7:11 am
wurdygurl
I was extremely happy when they beat the yankees! we do want to play the mets though
7:12 am
Anniebrook
Tigers vs. Mets would be a great series...hope it happens! have a doctor's appt. see you all later'

7:17 am
Charm
au6/18 = pl of the stadium?
7:17 am
Mom
Scrabbler, was just reading the chat ... Our whole family were Reds fans in the 70's, seems like we spent most of the days at the ball park. I really like Johnny Bench, too. But those days are long gone. We still attend some games but not like we did growing up.
7:17 am
metaleather
Hi Mom, ExWren
7:18 am
Mom
morning metal

Mom
and everyone else
7:19 am
Wolvie
wurdy, the ac 6 starts like the ac 4/6 before it - but uses a hump consonant, then 1st vowel, then another consonant
7:19 am
remluc
hi mom - I love the icon.
7:19 am
Scrabbler
Tony Perez, Don Gullett, Pete Rose, Bobby Tolan, ....I subscribed to Sports Illustrated for the 1st time in 7th grade. I played catcher in high school softball because I wanted to be like Johnny Bench.
7:19 am
ExWren
This is my last grid for the next week, so I would have liked to finish with a flourish. We leave tomorrow morning for the North East - three days in Southport and four days in Blackpool
7:21 am
Wolvie
the ac 7 /32 - put an a in front of dried cranberries
7:21 am
Mom
he was an excellent catcher. I am sure you were a great catcher as well. Those were some great baseball years.
7:21 am
wurdygurl
thank you wolvie
7:21 am
Mom
Exwren, I do hope you will finish. You will be missed while you are away
7:22 am

7:31 am
wurdygurl

7:34 am

7:36 am
wurdygurl
I grew up on him...my mother loved him
7:36 am

7:37 am
ch1212
I worked in radio during his first major comeback, in the 80's. But I remember him with the Edition in the 70's.
7:37 am

Yes, he was cool then
7:37 am

I am a pediatrician so I hear hilarious things from kids on a daily basis. When I asked a 3 yr old boy about his soon-to be born baby sibling, and what he wanted to namel the baby, he replied, "I don't care, YOU can have the baby."

ROFLOL!!! Great story. Check-out line experiences are always embarrassing. Once, one of my nephews was helping me move items from the cart to the table and, as he placed my feminine products on the table, he said quite loudly, "And here are your lady diapers, Aunt Lynda."

9:32 am
EvaNadine

9:37 am
Haz1558
de7/36 - can either be plural edicts (de6/24)
9:38 am
abe79
evanadine- those underwater pics are wonderful
9:38 am
Haz1558
or de7/36 - as with the preceding de6/24 - but with a vowel inserted within the word
9:38 am
EvaNadine
all of his work is breathtaking, but i tend to be most fond of the dance + underwaters series...
9:38 am
Marc Freeman

9:46 am
Dr_God

9:47 am
cauzneffct

9:47 am
gailinrb

9:47 am

9:47 am
Cherrypop
Dr is there a final list of words found every day?
9:49 am
Haz1558
Cherrypop - if you look in the archives for any particular day, find the players at the top of the list, click on any of their profiles and a word list will appear.
9:49 am
Dr_God
Cherrypop-
There is a link at the very top of an archived puzzle that lists all the words for that puzzle.
9:49 am
Cherrypop
Thanks Haz
9:50 am
Dr_God

Good point. I'll ask again when it makes its way into Windows Update.

9:52 am
Dr_God
VanTheMan-
Those are large, long pages, so I can see either a slower computer or a slower internet connection causing the page to crap out.

10:05 am
EspritdJean
Cubs fans never die, no matter what happens with the team
10:05 am
raelite

10:05 am
EspritdJean

10:05 am
remluc
raelite - they had some news report on Good Morning America that they can get "sucked"into the sides of the stairs - some little girl got injured.
10:06 am
remluc
I think she might have lost her whole toe.
10:06 am
raelite
oh...so my dad's size 12 clodhoppers should be ok...good to know!
10:07 am
remluc
raelite - I would think so. :) But it's better to be safe than sorry - so I'm glad you can pass on the warning. :)
10:07 am
raelite
lol...he wears those ugly things everywhere....
10:08 am
abe79
thanks for the warning remluc. i love my crocs, though they are homely
10:08 am
remluc
my dad does too! He actually wore out a pair and had to buy new ones.
10:08 am
raelite
oh no! I hope that dfoesn't happen....his are wearing out quickly...
10:08 am
raelite
I'm worried he might get psychedellic orange ones
10:10 am
abe79
celebrity chef Mario Batali is always photographed in his bright orange crocs
10:10 am
remluc
The orange ones are terrible! :) My dad wears the "stylish" tan ones. (my dad's an accountant so I use the term "stylish" loosely. I love giving him a bad time)
10:11 am
abe79
my mom has red ones ( i bought them, per her request) and she calls them her "clown s hoes"
10:11 am
raelite
rofl...my dad's are khaki green. I can't decide if it's a step up, down, or paralell to the birkenstocks he used to wear though
10:12 am
abe79
hmmm, i hadn't thought about that- the birkenstocks vs crocs issue...
10:13 am

10:16 am
wurdygurl
again, I thank you
10:17 am
raelite
the way I see it is the birks made his toes visible (bad) but the crocs are just so big ... so where is the line, you know?
10:17 am
wurdygurl
going out to garden....bbl unless it rains
10:17 am
stidmama
hello rae! haven't seen you for a few days. hi all! how's the grid today?

hi stid :) are you enjoying the rain?
10:19 am
abe79
bye Wurdy. hi Stidmama
10:19 am
stidmama
it's been lovely, rae! the air is a "full" color this morning -- you know how the yellow and orange leaves reflect back off the moisture in the air, and the clouds hold it all in? totally gorgeous.
10:19 am
bunnyvicious
ac 6/21 please?
10:20 am
remluc
rae - at least crocs can be "hosed" off to clean them up. Plus, my dad insists on wearing socks with sandals, so the Crocs are much better in that sense too. :)
10:20 am
raelite
it is pretty....very foggy this morning though, my ddrive to work was downright trecherous! it was a real pea-souper!
10:20 am
ch1212

ok, I think you're rght, rem

10:20 am
stidmama
ch, you're a doll! thanks for all these words!
10:20 am
abe79
*how about socks
10:21 am
raelite
maybe they should make croc socs...
10:21 am
ch1212
:) Just returning the favors, stidmama!
10:21 am
stidmama
it gets that way here sometimes, but usually in the evening. Something about the way the air moves on the water.
10:21 am
raelite
they could be the same colour as the crocs
10:21 am
raelite
that was so poetic, stid
10:21 am
abe79
the color of the socs would match the crocs
10:22 am
abe79
LOL raelite, i think we have a great idea!
10:22 am

Hi Abe79

I used to love dancing, but Tom doesn't really know how. We tried to take a class when the kids were little, but not enough places to practice in the small apartment.
10:29 am

hey, get out of here, Screech, this is a family ad!
10:29 am
mab
I would love to learn to tango
10:29 am
stidmama
not at the moment, smazing -- I can tell it did something overnight, but the dogs come in dry on top, so I know it's been a while. Not even dripping off the trees now.
10:29 am
msree
me too mab
10:29 am
abe79
Great icon, Mab
10:29 am
stidmama
tango is hard -- I learned both types, but have to rely on a good partner to get the rhythm right for me.
10:30 am
smazing
I am covered from head to toe with bruises today. I spent the last few days helping my boyfriend put insulation in the airplane hanger. I stupidly volunteered to go up in the rafters and do it!!! But it is done! Yeah
10:30 am
stidmama
LOL -- I see the pink flamingo in the log, and then it switched to the lovely dancer in profile! what a transition!
10:30 am

10:31 am
mab
smazing, your boyfriend has a hangar? how exotic. is he goingto live in it?
10:32 am
stidmama
Do it, smazing -- even if you don't feel like it, you will learn so much and find that it gets easier and easier (not all latin dances are crazy difficult -- chacha is fun and easy!)
10:32 am
smazing
I don't know yet! He hasn't been in the dog house yet!!!
10:33 am

10:38 am
EvaNadine
i dont think Sid has realized it yet...right now, hes been hanging out with grandma + grandpa...hes only 1 1/2, so i think hes too young to really understand that hes got a little brother now...

12:24 pm

ca 6 - builds off of the ca 4/5 before it, like a worker at a traveling fair
12:25 pm
Charm
bunny, I thought that's what it must be, but it's not accepting. thanks. will try again later.
12:25 pm
klaurel
anyone watch the Top Chef premiere?
12:26 pm
bunnyvicious
Ends in two vowels, uses the "n" in the second row, not the third
12:26 pm
Charm
klaurel, meant to, but fell asleep. lol
12:27 pm
Charm
thanks bunny! must still be half alseep....
12:27 pm
klaurel
Watching it on TiVo and wanted to know if it was as good as Season 1, or did they go for cute and hot and snipeness versus good chefs (loike so many other reality shows, like Apprentice)
12:27 pm
bunnyvicious
I've never seen it, but I like to watch Ace of Cakes on the food network (and Top Model, but don't repeat that!).
12:28 pm
Charm
Only watched the 1st season of Apprentice. couldn't see any potential after that.... Did watch Project Runway this season, though. Oh, the cattiness....
12:28 pm
Charm
Ever seen Bridezilla? It makes me ashamed to be a woman.
12:29 pm
Anniebrook
Bridezilla is one of the shows that I would gladly slap one of those brides.
12:29 pm
klaurel
oh, gosh, no! I had enough of that this year with my sis-in-law getting married and I only heard from his mom!
12:29 pm
klaurel
Of course, I can;t stand my sis in law
12:29 pm
bunnyvicious
I'm gonna scat to Sudoku unless anyone needs another clue?
12:30 pm

Bye now.
12:32 pm
klaurel
I have been married to my husband for 13 years and we have been together for 19 and we have two kids and she STILL snipes at me and LOVES my brother, but treats teh rest of us like chaf
12:32 pm
klaurel
including my kids (her neice and nephew)
12:33 pm
Charm
I'm actually keeping notes in a book of what NOT to do when my son grows up and gets married and I find myself the out-law.
12:34 pm
Anniebrook
Charm, you are funny but it might be a good idea to do
12:34 pm
Anniebrook
Charm, do you have a daughter?
12:34 pm
Charm
One son. (and he's convinced me that he's enough!)
12:35 pm
Charm
My husband's loving mother actually told me she wants him to move back home with her. (of course, he supports her in EVERYthing, so it's useless speaking my mind)
12:36 pm
Anniebrook
My daughter has 2 wonderful boys and I feel that she will be the mother in law...and I had told her to be loving to her mother in law. It is kind of crummy to be the mother in law even to a son in law but mine is okay
12:37 pm
klaurel
I have a son and a princess . . . I mean daughter
12:37 pm
Anniebrook
Charm, tell your mother in law that the family travels with your husband...some mother in laws do stink
12:38 pm
Anniebrook
*mothers in law
12:38 pm
Charm
Oh, heaven, no. She'd expect me to move in and then she'd control my life entirely!
12:39 pm
klaurel
my aunt;s mother in law is a doosy
12:39 pm
Anniebrook
Charm, she has nerve!
12:39 pm
klaurel
Ick, Charm!
12:39 pm
Charm
Ok. I'm depressed now. going to make a cup of tea and eat lots of cheesecake and come back for the last 63. brb
12:39 pm
klaurel
:( SORRY Charn!
12:40 pm
Anniebrook
Charm, dont feel that way, you are giving her too much power
12:41 pm
klaurel

1:40 pm
Vicuna
But "frau," of course, does not.
1:41 pm
Wolvie
think of an imaginary halo around you ursh - or field
1:41 pm
hurshy
and neither does herr when it is here, enable hates german.
1:41 pm
Wolvie
that will, by playing with endings, get you 4 more au's
1:41 pm
ursh
oh good grief - totally ignoring u on the right
1:42 pm
Wolvie
happens to me all the time. ALL the time. ;-)
1:42 pm
hurshy
four, really? wow, i only have 3 of those ones
1:42 pm
hurshy

1:48 pm

1:48 pm
abe79

1:48 pm
Vicuna
(But you're right, that is really odd to have so many non-4's left at the end.)
1:49 pm
periwinkle
thaks abe, got the in8 to add more - but stuck on the other in8
1:49 pm
hurshy
and what kills me is that i know i will still keep monkeying fours out of habit and wasting time.

1:50 pm
Wolvie

1:50 pm
Wolvie
de 8 was the opp of the in 8 peri
1:50 pm
hurshy

periwinkle

1:54 pm
hurshy
they do it all different wase.
1:54 pm
Vicuna
And if they let you put an f on the front, you'd get killing of college boys who drink too much...
1:55 pm
hurshy
i don't know why we can't have that. it would be a most worthy cause.
1:55 pm
Vicuna
They do it to each other half the time...
1:55 pm
torgone
this grid is fraut with rair werds
1:55 pm
hurshy
and if you put the f and another r after the t, then it would be a real word for killing your brother
1:56 pm
periwinkle
clue for the last 8 letter word please

2:36 pm
Vicuna
(Psst, Torgone, by even knowing the name "Alderaan," you kind of give away your supposed ignorance.)
2:36 pm
hurshy
the talosians were making her look different ways to try to entice capt pike so he'd be happy staying there.
2:37 pm
Wolvie
LOL - true true - why green I never figured out tho
2:37 pm
hurshy
because in that scene she was supposed to be an orion.
2:37 pm
hurshy
orion women are known for hypersexuality.

I need help with the fa's after the 3 about what holds your eyes in
6:12 pm
debbinla
(the lol was me laughing at myself)
6:13 pm
ch1212
take your fa that holds your eyes in and drop the last vowel... change it to the 3rd vowel, then add the first vowel.... then plural
6:13 pm
chj
you might go to a salon for a fa***l
6:14 pm
ch1212
another fa is a kind of play on stage, exaggerated satire. That word is also past tense and the ending that means 'more so'
6:14 pm
ch1212
then change the last letter on your fa5/18 (3rd one) to the 3rd vowel
6:15 pm
Douglas
And the person performing the kind of play on stage...
6:15 pm
ch1212
and finally, think about the word that describes what you pay when you board a bus or train
