12:27 am

MayneGuy

thx flosey :) - you still back East?

12:28 am

msilver620

I thought vowels count as points just as consonants do. 4 tiles add up to 7. the q is 5. It doesn't seem possible.

12:28 am

MayneGuy

Hi again dilly!

12:28 am

phenakis

msilver, the qu counts as 2 letters

12:28 am

phenakis

so 3 tiles for 7 pts

12:29 am

dilly

Welcome back.MG!

1:48 am

dr9397

Jilli- do you have any other clues for that ta9?

1:51 am

Aloyisius

ta 9 difficult to clue: first four letters rhyme with laugh + *** (poetic word for before) + consonant

1:52 am

Aloyisius

then plural it for ta9: I actually clued ta8

1:52 am

PurloinedLetter

dr, if you are the primary care physician for a patient, you may send your patient to a specialist .... you make a re*******.......the ta 9 sort of sounds like that

1:53 am

oggy

2:35 am

Atalante

if a company goes bankrupt, it gets li*******. the li9 is the guy / gal who does that li thing

2:35 am

Angb

I made a mistake earlier in the second vowel of the beginning - it's the second not the third vowel

2:35 am

pebblespeople

lizmac

I greatly admire optimism Angb

2:58 am

Angb

It is the only thing that keeps me going on the grid - and another glass of wine also

3:05 am

Atalante

glasses of wine are essential!

3:06 am

Angb

How are you ata? How did your art go in the comp?

3:07 am

Atalante

don't know yet! comp finishes at the end of the month :) I'm trying desperately to find time to do a similar Inuit-esque thing, but I'm not sure I'll manage

3:08 am

Angb

Now it's interesting that you say that. Our new entrant teacher did a project on the teaching of Inuit children ... supposedly their culture and history has much in common with the Maori.

3:10 am

Atalante

I think they do ... they definitely have the same *feel* anyway, I don't know enough to know any details! Inuit mythology is quite amazing, so different to what we're used to hearing about. They have polar bears and walruses and killer whales and stuff in their myths!

3:12 am

Congratulations, ruthy

3:12 am

Might see if I can source some stories / myths then. Be right up my son's alley. He has done his weekend project - What he wants to be when he grows up. Just 9 years and he want to be a marine biologist

Morning Haz

Hi haz

3:19 am

I have 68 left, but it

3:19 am

pebblespeople

Hi Haz

3:19 am

Duval

oops, but it is slow going now.

3:19 am

pebblespeople

about the same here, Duval

3:20 am

Haz1558

Well, no outright moans so it must be okay.

3:20 am

Angb

39 left here and the list is tempting.

3:22 am

Odin

Mornin' All...how's the grid?

3:22 am

Angb

HI Odin. OK I suppose if you have help

3:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning Odin. Not long here either.

3:23 am

ren8

Hi Odin, only just started too

3:23 am

Odin

Mornin' Haz, Angb, ren

3:24 am

pebblespeople

good morning, Odin. Nice to see someone else is up on the continent

3:25 am

Atalante

good for him, ang! marine biology is definitely the way to go :) there is a wonderful legned about the goddess of the sea, Sedna. She has hair that is so long it wraps around all the northern seas, and the animals of the water get caught up. This leads to poor hunting for the Inuit, and then it is the shaman's job to "swim" down to find Sedna, and comb out her hair so that the animals are released and the hunts are plentiful again

3:25 am

Odin

Hey peb...4 am on a Sunday morning and what am I doing?...The usual!

3:26 am

sherb

3:28 am

Odin

Sherb...alot of us are just beginning ... a third cup of coffee and I may actualy see the letters clearly ;]

3:30 am

Angb

Well done Hannah

3:31 am

sherb

a G would be so good to go with that IN...

3:33 am

Odin

lol sherb

3:35 am

Angb

Hey sherb - you the sherb on QP that got the weekly prize?

3:37 am

sherb

hi Angb :) ...yep, that's me... actually, I was second on points, but Spock won last week...

3:38 am

sherb

amused had a brilliant Honeycomb solution yesterday...

3:38 am

Angb

Congrats though -

3:39 am

Angb

I'll have to have a look - don't usually play that - too little time after Babble.

3:40 am

sherb

thank you :)

3:42 am

sherb

interesting... there's an sp6/21 which begins like an area of London... Sp****fields... never realised the origin of the name until now...

3:43 am

Atalante

it was ye olde leper-filled place for a good while

3:46 am

sherb

ah, also interesting... I'm always intrigued by the story of Balckheath... that's it's the place where people who dies of the Plague were buried, and that's why it hasn't been built on...

3:47 am

sherb

*Blackheath... *died...

nice topics for a Sunday morning...:)

3:47 am

Atalante

oh really? that *is* interesting! I'm still half surprised that S*****fields was dug up, they had so many troubles both with hospital bones and old Roman occupation sites

3:50 am

Atalante

and I suppose that would explain why its called Black heath. always wondered that

3:51 am

sherb

the commercial pressure is so great, nowhere in London is safe... I heard on the news yesterday that UNESCO are thinking of taking the Tower of London off the list of World Heritage Sites because it's under threat from skyscrapers... seems like being a WHS should *protect* it from skyscrapers...

3:53 am

Atalante

you'd have hoped so, wouldn't you!

3:56 am

FMitch

One of today's silliest words sw6/33 - the freely swinging part of a flail, which falls upon the grain in threshing.
Morning all :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch!

3:57 am

Mrs Often

Sorry I just noticed your little talk about Blackheath and it intruiged me... I did a search, but according to Wikipedia: "The name is a corruption of "bleak heath" and not, as popularly believed, from the dark colour of the soil, nor from the burial of victims of the Black Death on the heath in the 14th century."

3:57 am

sherb

morning FMitch :)

3:58 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, how are you finding the grid so far?

Hi sherb

3:58 am

Haz1558

I'm just over half-way through, quite pleased to find a favourite word (pa5/12)

3:59 am

Odin

Mornin' FMitch

3:59 am

sherb

I always wondered, Tasmin... but it seems like such a good story... and Blackheath is such an amazing open space...

3:59 am

FMitch

Greetings Odin

4:01 am

Mrs Often

Indeed Sherb! And it doesn't give any other explanation for why it hasn't been built on, apart for maybe the fact that it's the spot where golf was introduced to England, but I can hardly believe that'd be a good reason.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Could it be covered by some royal charter or something?

4:03 am

FMitch

Oh that could be a possibility Haz.

4:04 am

pebblespeople

Loving this conversation about Blackheath in London, but I must get to bed. See you in a few hours.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Or maybe it's been ear-marked for Tony and Cherie's retirement place.

4:04 am

Atalante

urf, I have to go too, someone tell me what the conclusions about Blackheath are at some point, please!!

4:06 am

Haz1558

We'll see what can be discovered. I suspect FMitch and sherb are knee-deep in research already.....

4:07 am

sherb

nite pebbles :)

later Atalante :) ...I'm off too, must get the papers... must get to the bottom of the Blackheath subject later... :)

4:07 am

FMitch

lol not at the moment but have made a note or two.

4:07 am

Atalante

its the best place in london to hold a fireworks display - that might help LOL *poofs*

4:07 am

Haz1558

Bye Atalante!

4:07 am

FMitch

Our dissertations will be on your esk in the morning Haz :)

4:08 am

Haz1558

Good, I look forward to that!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Are you finished yet, FMitch?

4:09 am

Haz1558

The grid, rather than the dissertation.

4:11 am

FMitch

No I have gone to the list and still have 22 to find.

4:12 am

FMitch

There are some great words I've not come across before in babble or the "real word"

4:12 am

Haz1558

I enjoyed finding the dance related pl4/5 and re4/4. It brought back memories.

4:12 am

FranMag

hi all!

4:12 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag!

4:13 am

FranMag

just got here, how's the grid?

4:13 am

FMitch

Hey Fran

4:13 am

FranMag

hi haz! hi fmitch!

4:14 am

Haz1558

It's quite interesting so far, mostly individual words rather than sequences.

4:14 am

FranMag

those are usually the hardest.

4:15 am

FranMag

oh well, i started already so it doesn't matter anyway.

4:15 am

Haz1558

And it's short, so it can't do that much damage to your nerves.

4:16 am

FranMag

that's the good part i guess

4:18 am

FMitch

I'll remind you that you said that Haz :)

4:19 am

Haz1558

Yes, you probably will!

4:21 am

FMitch

Q's finally greyed out.

4:21 am

FranMag

i need one more

4:21 am

Angb

Hi again - I am sure words are falling out of my wordlist. LOL

4:21 am

Haz1558

I'm missing one q - they've all been normal words so far - is there a peculiar one?

4:21 am

FranMag

hi angb!

4:22 am

Duval

I have 43 to go after some serious monkey typing!

4:22 am

FMitch

1st q is a 6/27 and has 3 vowels do you have that one?

4:23 am

PurloinedLetter

2 q 5/16s are unfamiliar to me

4:23 am

Haz1558

No, that's the missing one. I get my deerstalker on to go looking.

4:23 am

FranMag

that's the one i'm missing than.

4:24 am

FMitch

*excluding the u there are 3 other vowels Haz

4:24 am

PurloinedLetter

one qu 6/27 is the plural of the game bird

4:24 am

Haz1558

Thanks FMitch (u now excluded from the vowel count)

4:25 am

PurloinedLetter

the other is a word for a bit eccentric

4:25 am

FranMag

yay! got it, thanks fmitch!

4:25 am

Haz1558

Got it now, thanks - peculiar!

4:25 am

i posted about the catgenie on babanon, other interests. and i put a link to a forum where people discuss all kinds of litterbox options.

10:59 am

harpjane

in theory, you can point the cat to the door, and never have to have a cat box. that's my theory

11:00 am

hurshy

en5... is it on the babblet list yet? should be. en+ spanish aunt

11:00 am

harpjane

however, you know the difference between theory and practice? In theory there is no difference...

11:00 am

harp... i dunno, i just heard that the average lifespan for indoor-only cats is double that of other cats, what with predators, cars, viruses and parasites... so, i have always kept mine inside. it's harder to do if your cats are used to going out though.

11:03 am

Ankhorite

Absolutely true, Hurshy.

11:03 am

harpjane

Yes, they don't live as long, but maybe the next few lives are indoors?

11:03 am

Dorens

i h ave two... and one is used t going out, the other isn't... i try to keep the older one in, but sometimes it is just too impossible. and she comes back with nasty bites from time to time, and has too go to the vet for shots and stitches and other unpleasanter stuff

11:04 am

11:04 am

Atalante

every outdoor cat I've had has lived to past 18

11:04 am

jonny

hi all how is it today

11:04 am

Ankhorite

Hiya, Charlotte!

11:04 am

hurshy

it's only an average, ata, obviously it will not apply to every cat.

11:05 am

charlotte2

is jean1953 on?

11:05 am

Atalante

yeah ... but I'm not sure I believe it.

11:05 am

Ankhorite

Ata, are you Eleager?

11:05 am

hurshy

i guess, also, because i am home a lot, i like to have my cats around me. so it's partly selfish.

11:05 am

Atalante

lol yes, Ankh

11:06 am

Dorens

no hurshy if they don't drive you crazy trying to get out, it's fine...and according to my vet it is the way to go

11:06 am

hurshy

i wonder if it is different in england, maybe england is safer for pets

11:06 am

Ankhorite

*very impressed with frog concerto! Will look more later*

11:06 am

Atalante

I guess there's a big difference between expectations for cats over here and in the US. keeping a cat indoors isnt exactly common here

11:06 am

Ankhorite

My very-temporary foster dog is a FIEND and climbed a 5' fence Right In Front Of Me to get to a cat -- the cat got her instead, which she RICHLY deserved.

11:06 am

hurshy

my cats don't want to go out at all. in fact when i take them out (carrying them) they are only too eager to get back in the house! we have a big enough house that there is plenty of room for them to run around and stuff.

11:07 am

LeslieAnn

lol ankh

11:07 am

Dorens

i have a big house too, but the chipmunks and squirrels are very active right outside the patio door and tempt them horribly. the younger one can handle it...the older one goes postiively bonkers

11:08 am

hurshy

yes, and i know in france the expectations are very different... visited some folks who don't take theirs to the vet.

11:08 am

Ankhorite

Oh, LeslieAnn, it's sad but true -- that's why she has to move on to a different permanent home.

11:08 am

Ankhorite

Whoa, dog emergency, gotta go, bbl -- luck, all!

11:08 am

Atalante

I know lots of people here who dont

11:09 am

Bash

Where I live, an outside cat would be a fur pancake in no time - busy big city traffic.

11:09 am

LeslieAnn

good luck ankh

11:09 am

msilver620

I live in Florida where there are alligators so my cat will definitely always remain indoors.

11:10 am

hurshy

mine get annual checkups even if they seem perfectly healthy, and i am so paranoid that they wear collars with nametags, even though they don't go out and don't want to, just in case somehow they ever were to get lost.

11:11 am

hurshy

but i do NOT dress them up in things.

11:11 am

hurshy

actually my cats get better medical care than my husband, i think :) i can make them go, but not him. lol

11:12 am

harpjane

frog concerto? what did I miss?

11:13 am

Dorens

you mean you don't scrunch up into the husband carrier when it's time to go to the doc, hurshy?

11:13 am

hurshy

lol

11:13 am

hurshy

yeah i didn't understand about the frog concerto either. was curious about that.

11:14 am

Atalante

is pic I did that is apparently quite good

11:14 am

hurshy

ooh, i go look

11:15 am

Bash

liquefier

11:16 am

Bash

sorry, gang...

11:16 am

jonny

ta bash!!!

11:17 am

hurshy

nice ata. i really like the... tryptich? is that the word? the three photos of "home".

11:17 am

Bash

my brain has been through a li9 this morning... ;)

11:18 am

Atalante

triptych will do!

11:19 am

hurshy

i THOUGHT the i should come first etymologically but then the y didn't look right to me coming second and i was pretty sure it had a y...

11:20 am

Atalante

definitely a y

11:20 am

hurshy

there's a lesson here, folks. always go with your etymological instincts.

11:21 am

hurshy

these small icons! i thought your dog was the grim reaper from a distance :)

11:22 am

Atalante

poor Hobbit!

11:23 am

hurshy

my apologies to hobbit.

11:27 am

hurshy

only THREE VOWELS?!?!!?!

11:27 am

Erda

There's one with the Q -- lol

11:28 am

hurshy

no, sorry, i was talking about quiddler :)

11:29 am

Dorens

speaking of Q- can ni get a clue for the first one please

11:29 am

Haz1558

Atalante - still here and want to know about Blackheath?

11:29 am

LeslieAnn

a bird, dorens? (i'm not done with them yet)

11:30 am

Dorens

no, thanks leslie but it's before that

11:30 am

FMitch

What have you found Haz? I got side tracked by Hampstead Heath.

11:30 am

Atalante

yup and yup!

11:30 am

hurshy

qu, vowel, before (poetically)

11:31 am

Haz1558

Blackheath was taken into municipal ownership by virtue of the Metropolitan Commons Act 1871 and bye-laws forbid much happening other than mown grass and playing fields.

11:31 am

Dorens

thanks hurshy.... FMITch do you live by hampsteadheath?

11:31 am

Haz1558

Also the fact that it straddles two council areas means they would never be able to agree about anything.

11:31 am

FMitch

I did when a child Dorens

11:31 am

Dorens

a friend lived there once, and we went and visited her, stayed at her house which was two houses downn from John Le Carré-- had a geat week

11:32 am

Atalante

ohhhhhh

11:32 am

Haz1558

So now we all know!

11:32 am

Dorens

hmmm that should have been a great week.... i am rushing. 3 left and trying to get out of here

11:33 am

Atalante

ty Haz and FM!

11:34 am

FMitch

lol Dorens I knew what you meant!

Haz I wondered if there was any connection with Backheath and Greenwich as that was under the Crown but could find little infor prior to 1800 on the net.

11:34 am

Haz1558

You're welcome! And now I must go, this was just a flying visit. Tomorrow we debate the north-south divide.

11:34 am

Scrabbler

Ankhorite--I just spent 10 min looking at the cathouse website--very cool! What a cat paradise!

11:35 am

Haz1558

Greenwich seems to have quite a royal connection - there was a palace called Placentia which was replaced by other things (no wonder with a name like that). Blackheath seems to have been more of the people's place!

11:35 am

LeslieAnn

i got distracted by it too, scrabbler. i just kept thinking it would seem pretty hard to sell that house if they ever wanted to

11:35 am

Haz1558

TIme to go!

11:35 am

FMitch

Byeeeeee Haz

11:35 am

LeslieAnn

(and i think ankh had a dog emergency and left)

11:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they really remodeled that house!

11:36 am

harpjane

is fr8 a compound word?

11:36 am

Scrabbler

I was trying to keep track of all the cats' names--how many cats are living there, I wonder. And where are the litter boxes? And what does the house smell like?

11:37 am

Dorens

no, but others fr******ly made that mistake, harp

11:37 am

LeslieAnn

maybe the litter boxes are in the secret cat room.

11:37 am

harpjane

ahhhh! thanks

11:37 am

Dorens

why am I having so much trouble with the W word? Is it a cocmman word or a weirdie?

11:38 am

hurshy

a bit weird. clever humor + article.

11:38 am

hurshy

can someone repost that cat house link?

11:38 am

Scrabbler

I was struggling with that W too, Dorens, then I just gave it up.

11:53 am

harpjane

lol

11:53 am

harpjane

I wonder if anyone's ever served Edith Pilaf?

11:53 am

hurshy

11:54 am

Dorens

i'd like to see someone make a pilaf out of ccondaleeeeeza

11:55 am

hurshy

let's see, if it were a "famous french people" restaurant... edith pilaf... chicken charles de gaulle... napoleons for dessert of course

Dorens

11:59 am

hurshy

I've been away from KY for 27yrs and all the sudden things started happening in Michigan where I was living and I decided that I'd move back down to KY and WOW my Aunt had a stroke and is now in a nursing home and Mom is on her death bed and this has all happened just since I got here so yes God does work in strange ways

7:56 pm

Douglas

Non-Babble Question: Is the word "amped" being used more these days? Example: Kenny Rogers (who is pitching against the Cardinals) was really amped when pitching against the Yankees.

7:56 pm

7:58 pm

chj

7:58 pm

evanonut

7:59 pm

Douglas

The context I'm hearing amped in is "excited, emotional," yes, nut, pumped up...

7:59 pm

faeriekae

ok I'm going to throw a load of laundry in and strip my bed

7:59 pm

jillibus

caught in the act though

7:59 pm

8:00 pm

jillibus

well, douglas, amplified emotionally=amped?

8:00 pm

Douglas

"When you had left our pirate fold
We tried to raise our spirits faint
According to our custom old
With ***** and quibbles ******"

8:00 pm

chj

strip and bed...now theres a nice juxtaposition

sp 7?

8:37 pm

FranMag

april, one who gives the sp5/12

8:38 pm

jillibus

fran, I should explain it a bit more. I think the way it looks here is the Chinese for China (mei kuo in the old transliteration) and looked at sideways it's the English. I should have given credit to the artist but don't remember who it was - will check it out and put it in the profile. Actually, it was supposed to move but didn't here.

8:39 pm

FranMag

now i see the china, that's cool

8:39 pm

AprilD

which sp 5/12?

8:39 pm

Andree

very clever icon jilli

8:40 pm

FranMag

the one right before it that means long story

8:40 pm

Andree

april, tale teller

8:40 pm

AprilD

Andree, I don't think I have that one

8:41 pm

harpjane

april, it's a german word for song, I think

8:41 pm

Andree

sp5/12, sometimes it takes a while for someone to get to the end of their sp***

8:41 pm

FranMag

april, there are 5 sp5/12s, it's the middle one

8:41 pm

aknitter

april think used car sales man and his sales pitch or his sp 5

8:41 pm

FranMag

hi harp!

8:42 pm

aknitter

comes along with glocken

8:42 pm

AprilD

I am missing the third and fourth ones

8:42 pm

Andree

good clue aknitter

8:42 pm

FranMag

the 4th one just change the last letter, it's one you observes secretly

8:43 pm

aknitter

ty

8:43 pm

AprilD

8:43 pm

FranMag

the third sp5/12 is also an anagram of the 5th one april.

8:56 pm

FranMag

kitrine, click on the link for "angelsong's babble page" below the grid, it explains the point system and the cluing system also.

8:57 pm

FranMag

and you may want to check out "lickety's babble clues" also, that's where we get the first two letters of the words.

8:57 pm
