it may react with the methotrexate... Is rhumatoid Arth. considered an auto-immune disorder?

12:02 am

VolleymomDee

plaquenil stopped working for me; so they upped methotrexate and took me off plaquenil, and I have done better

re 7

12:03 am

smooth_pappa

well, you should definitely ask your doctor... there is some concern that melatonin can stimulate the Immune system, thus worsening autoimmune disorders

12:03 am

VolleymomDee

I will check; will be interesting to find out

12:04 am

jillibus

I'm lucky that plaquenil is still working -- was on predisone for years but gradually dropped it and am still ok. Was on methotrexate for a while after cancer surgery and a flare-up, but dropped that too.

12:04 am

VolleymomDee

12:15 am

jillibus

volley, when I have trouble sleeping I take an extra strength acetaminophen (generic Tylenol). My GP advised not to wait until it really hurts -- take it at the first twinges -- and it was good advice.

12:15 am

12:16 am

melonheadjujube

12:16 am

firefly779

hi stid -- we had sheets of rain today and huge winds but as you say it's calm now...

12:17 am

12:17 am

jillibus

stid -- melon had a preventative hysterectomy this morning

12:17 am

debbinla

melon - wishing you all the best for a fast and easy recovery! you'll be in my thoughts and prayers

12:17 am

stidmama

I bet it was pretty gusty up in Swedeville, itzie! did you have to go out? I did, twice!

12:17 am

melonheadjujube

i'm having a prophylactic hysterectomy/salpingectomy/oophorectom
y - a whole lotta ectomy, or TAH/BSO for short, due to family history.

12:17 am

12:19 am

12:19 am

12:19 am

jillibus

flosey -- not howling here yet!!!

12:20 am

P.J.

melon,wishing you well and a quick recovery..lol

12:20 am

melonheadjujube

stid, it will be a different kind of babbling (lots of drugs) ;)

12:20 am

stidmama

icky weather for bus riding... hm. from what Jill and flosey are saying, sounds like it's heading our way again itzie! *duck and cover* quack quack

12:20 am

flosey

just seemed to come up suddenly

12:20 am

stidmama

*perks up at mention of drugs* does that include chocolate? :-)

12:21 am

melonheadjujube

-well i need to straighten my kitchen - i stopped yesterday to color my hair (fear of frowsiness while home) - i'll check in in a bit.

12:21 am

firefly779

darn wind kept me up most the night, and did wonders for my hair whilst shopping this afternoon...had to switch to glasses too, as contacts would've been awful!

12:21 am

melonheadjujube

i hope chocolate!

12:21 am

debbinla

((((((melon)))))))))

12:21 am

jillibus

melon, when I had abdominal surgery under general anesthesiathey gave me an epidural to my surprise for the recovery -- big help!

12:21 am

P.J.

It is very windy here also.

12:21 am

stidmama

am having discussions with older child these days about what constitutes a 'drug' and explained that for some people, chocoalte and coffee count...

12:22 am

stidmama

okay melon, I'll probably be asleep soon, so know that I will hold you in my heart all day tomorrow.

12:22 am

cybernan

what a lousy time of year to be having surgery! --- oh well, you won't be able to lift anything heavy for a while so someone else will have to lift the bird out of the oven, make the beds, take out the garbage, do the laundry....

12:22 am

melonheadjujube

how soon after could you walk, jilli? i had an epidural for my C sect - had no feeling - or was yours epidural morphine?

12:22 am

cybernan

don't worry melon -- they'll have you walking the halls within 24 hours.

12:23 am

jillibus

They made me walk almost as soon as I woke up, as I remember, melon!

12:24 am

melonheadjujube

actually cybernan, i planned it the week b4 my son goes to his dad's for winter break (down the street & a world away) - so he'll help me that week - then by the time school starts up again i might be driving. also, snce i'm a bicycling fiend, i planned winter surgery - obviously! :)

12:24 am

jillibus

I don't know what drug the epicural was

12:24 am

cybernan

I had an epidural for my hysterectomy -- have a very bad reaction to most anesthetics.

12:25 am

melonheadjujube

probably morphine - had it been lidocaine you would have had no feeling waist down, and probably couldn't move.

12:25 am

stidmama

finally found an re 7

12:25 am

stidmama

and an re 8...

12:29 am

cybernan

12:29 am

jillibus

I've barely glanced at the grid but i don't see a v for the dog or an e beside the d but an ominous number of re's

12:29 am

stidmama

*looks to see if Jill figured out that mature people are no longer employed for money...*

12:29 am

stidmama

of course not, nan! *listens eagerly*

12:30 am

CyborgScrabbler

12:30 am

CyborgScrabbler

what a hypocrite!

12:30 am

cybernan

that's why I asked, cy :)

12:30 am

Dispatch

i was thinking the same thing cyborg as all the clues were coming in and no one said a word

12:31 am

jillibus

stid, I thought I had the word but there was no e near the d -- but now I think I've got it -- by George, I've got it! Thanks!

12:31 am

stidmama

thank you Nan! :-)

12:31 am

firefly779

*giggle, chortle, snort*

12:32 am

Dispatch

mrp...cyborg got chewed out last night for cluing a 9 before one hour had past

12:33 am

stidmama

If people really don't want clues, they can hide the chat log... that's what I do when I want to work "alone"

12:33 am

mrpresident

chat log can be closed down

12:34 am

firefly779

i'll always think that "fest" should be an accepted word...

12:34 am

stidmama

I am sorry you were scolded, cyborg.

12:34 am

The Great Leigh

indeed, tis the season of festivus for the restofus

12:34 am

stidmama

12:34 am

chic

NO rules and No fear!

12:34 am

jillibus

firefly, I keep trying that too, hoping if I persist it will suddenly become acceptable

12:35 am

mrpresident

I love to clue! I always screw it up, but it makes for fun!! don't fret cyborg... there is no babble queen!

12:35 am

stidmama

12:38 am

CyborgScrabbler

2 * 7/40

12:39 am

mrpresident

same same dispatch... all three

12:39 am

12:39 am

Dispatch

12:39 am

CyborgScrabbler

oops 3x fe7/40

12:39 am

at least one fe 7 has to do with evergreen foliage, Dispatch

12:40 am

stidmama

12:40 am

Dispatch

okay...just the evergreen one please

12:40 am

metaleather

one's a "weasel"

12:40 am

stidmama

and one of the fe 7 is the mink-like pet

12:40 am

CyborgScrabbler

one fe7/40 is a long thin animal

12:41 am

Dispatch

nm..got it as soon as i looked

12:41 am

stidmama

the evergreen one is the plant that is frondy, likes mostly shady

12:42 am

stidmama

and I can tell from the way that clue reads that I am done for tonight. I got to 54 words left, not bad for how tired I feel!

12:42 am

stidmama

good night all, see you tomorrow!

12:42 am

Dispatch

oh my...i had the singular not the plural of the pet..ty

1:15 am

catching up with the chat...mrp...it was absolutely absurd how that whole thing got started last night!

1:18 am

Hello all. I understand that the people that have been here a LONG time like to have things done the way that they are used to. I have tried to fit in and not upset anyone. However, they need to be a little understanding that their way is not the only way.I don't ask for clues early on, but appreciate it when one comes my way. You newer people were correect. If they don't like the clues, just don't look in the chat for awhile. The only way that Babble will keep on, is with new people paying their fee and getting into the game. They shouldn't be chased off because they do things a little different.

1:18 am

mrpresident

dispatch, I found the who thing stupid cause of decided remarks to the newbies clueing!!
They are in their right to chat and clue... there is no rule about waiting one hour or just clueing the first two letters...
what a load of rubbish! Play and enjoy the chat and company!

1:18 am

joey

yeah, mkl, well said!

1:19 am

here here mkl

1:20 am

vedaman

I was lurking last night; I think the issue mostly came up not because cyborg was clueing, but because no one was asking for the clues

1:20 am

mkl

Thank you. I shall now resume pulling my hair out over this stupid game.

1:20 am

maniac_mitch

how many words today?

1:20 am

DRBERNABO

135

1:20 am

Dispatch

actually nan and hurshy are pretty good about clueing and are usually so helpful. i think it was the whole thing about cyborg "calling" a word that was called a few minutes earlier

1:20 am

CyborgScrabbler

do they put up puzzles with 13 letter words?

1:20 am

maniac_mitch

1:21 am

indeed mkl, I agree and tks mrp

1:21 am

I've never seen one, but I've only been here a couple months.

1:21 am

DRBERNABO

they had one 12 in the past apparently: cogeneration

1:21 am

MVA

got to go, bbl!

1:21 am

chic

it's just that last nite was not the first time that has happened; mrp herself has been slammed for giving early clues with out any one asking.

1:21 am

cindasu

as someone who don't really chat i do watch the log for clues on and off.I have been playing for almost a year and enjoy the game and the log.

1:22 am

DRBERNABO

That was a song by the Who, "Talkin' 'bout cogeneration"

1:22 am

Dispatch

not to keep this going...but...cyborg "called 3 or 4 (?) words in a row. Nan had called a couple of those earlier. i think she was putting cyborg in his/her (?) place that she got them first. that's how i took it that it started

1:22 am

CyborgScrabbler

I was not looking at the log when I clued, I was looking at the puzzle, so I did not see it, but it was not a big issue, as the slug said to the snail

1:23 am

Takuma Sato

feh. chat is a babble innovation I'm still not comfortable with.

1:23 am

Dispatch

actually cybor...you clued a 7 and an 8...an extention of a 7 that nan clued moments before. i don't think she realized that.

1:23 am

mkl

I have no idea how it started. I came in the middle of it. Let's not start it again. And in that spirit>>>>>>>Does anyone have either of the 8's?

1:23 am

Takuma Sato

Fogies unite against chat altogether.

zoinks. congrats V

1:25 am

ursh

Vedaman - do you know about the oversexed guy?? for the on

1:25 am

mrpresident

The 'not asking for clues' was not the issue... it had to do with opening the mouth and not thinking about the consequences and other peoples feelings or experiences

1:25 am

CyborgScrabbler

that was quick, you just logged in Veda! WTG!

1:25 am

DRBERNABO

the 0n 7 sounds like the more oversexed of two guys if you kick the H out (or off) of him

1:25 am

No lIckety is no Dr G but he has a program (I'm not sure if he created it himself) (he's a programmer) that spits out the clues every day.

All I have is the ist one

1:46 am

Dispatch

fe 7...plural of the fe6...long, smelly pet

1:46 am

metaleather

you have the plant one,

go for one resembling a weasel

1:46 am

orionova

fe 7/40 animal of the weasel family.

1:47 am

flosey

fe7 - a frond type of plant that likes shade, and more so

1:47 am

metaleather

then try one related to iron, (think the chemical symbol for iron and build from that)

1:47 am

mkl

OMG. I spent quite a bit of time looking for the pet. Thought it had to be there. Almost put it up as a phantom

1:49 am

mkl

Metal. Got the idea, but I can't quite wrap my mind around your fe7 clue.

1:51 am

ursh

fi7 ?

1:52 am

metaleather

ursh... try more burning, more flamey

Yes please Volley. The last two re7,28?

2:00 am

so, i've got to ask this question - why does everyone like the lickety clues so much?

2:01 am

okay...so i didn't realize there was a gender identity to your name

sorry for the repostings..computer froze

2:01 am

I have 4 re 7's

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

the first is the re 4/4 with a 3 letter suffix

2:02 am

CyborgScrabbler

DIS - exactly, I do not think there is lol

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

for the other 3 think about what folks do when they are 65 and move to Florida; then add different last consonants

2:02 am

Dispatch

the clues are really just the alphabetical first two leter stats of each word in the grid. when you're stuck...it helps to find words you need between the words you have

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

the 4th one is the actual person who moves to the nice place at 65

2:03 am

where are you from?

2:03 am

you are welcome

2:04 am

maniac_mitch

so. just as a question - why is it that everyone loves the lickety clues so much?

2:05 am

Dispatch

thanks cyborg...i just like to picture who's playing...and without your bio, you were a mystery

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

because I can't go to sleep til I see fireworks, and the challenge is sometimes too tough without the clues

2:05 am

Dispatch

mitch...i just told you why i like it at 2:02

2:05 am

chic

mitch, I just find them helpful when my brain has quit finding words..

2:05 am

metaleather

I like them because they give me a resource to which to turn, one which doesn't give the entire word, but which "points me in the right direction"

2:06 am

Dispatch

have you ever used lickety's list mitch?

2:06 am

mkl

I like them because I would NEVER finish a puzzle without them.

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

well all I must bid you adieu for now! Happy babbling!

alright, i'm just curious is all

I envy your ability to complete the grid, especially so quickly, without the clues

2:09 am

Dispatch

ditto met

2:11 am

mrpresident

alot of people use it!

2:13 am

maniac_mitch

of course - i just personally think that it would be more of an accomplishment to finish the puzzle without them - though i also realize the level of frustration, and time allotment would increase accordingly

2:13 am

CyborgScrabbler

The clues giving the beginning letters is the only way to find out the two beginning letters of the words you are missing

mom, the point is all these words are in a predefined list of words called ENABLE, whether they are used in everyday speech or not is irrelevant

2:51 am

Of course not, mom, if you're looking for words that people use, you're in the wrong dimension...

Hello lynxxx

3:00 am

CyborgScrabbler

douglas, there is no point of reference for your comment

3:01 am

Douglas

Hmm...lets start over...back in the day when new math was a big deal, numbers were construed as the cardinalities of se4/4

3:02 am

CyborgScrabbler

Oh right, so I was right, good!

3:02 am

Douglas

You can't take three from two,
Two is less than three,
So you look at the four in the tens place.
Now that's really four tens,
So you make it three tens,
Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones,
And you add them to the two and get twelve,
And you take away three, that's nine.
Is that clear?

3:02 am

CyborgScrabbler

BYE all, cya tomorrow

3:02 am

mrpresident

Hi lynxxx! yes it is! going back to the wheel of doom for the next 5 nights! :)

3:02 am

mrpresident

bye cyborg! lovely to meet you!

3:02 am

Douglas

Now instead of four in the tens place
You've got three,
'Cause you added one,
That is to say, ten, to the two,
But you can't take seven from three,
So you look in the hundreds place.

3:03 am

Douglas

From the three you then use one
To make ten ones...
(And you know why four plus minus one
Plus ten is fourteen minus one?
'Cause addition is commutative, right.)
And so you have thirteen tens,
And you take away seven,
And that leaves five...

Well, six actually.
But the idea is the important thing.

3:03 am

lynxxx

Bye Cyborg.

If there was a pipeline between Australia and Ireland, your water problems would be over.

3:51 am

mrpresident

hello haz!!

3:51 am

Haz1558

Hello mrpresident!

3:52 am

Haz1558

How did lickety look in his white outfit for the party?

3:52 am

mrpresident

sad!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Did you disown him - pretend not to be with him?

3:52 am

mrpresident

he was followed by a couple of girls... they were commenting on how gay he looked!! he was very offended!!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Maybe they meant he was happy? Or maybe not......

3:53 am

mrpresident

he turned around and gave them a serve!! I thought he looked very happy myself! :)

3:53 am

Haz1558

I don't know - I thought he could have carried off the Richard Gere look.

3:54 am

mrpresident

well, they were checking out his ass!

3:54 am

Haz1558

He did remember to wear appropriate underpinnings?

3:54 am

Buttonman

good morning all

3:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning Buttonman.

3:55 am

mrpresident

Buttonman

3:55 am

Buttonman

good morning HAZ

3:56 am

mrpresident

hi button!

3:56 am

Haz1558

At least it was girls checking him out!

3:56 am

mrpresident

LOL! too right haz!

3:56 am

Buttonman

Haz, i have all but on 4 letter word..it has me up against the wall.....it is an er 4/4...can you help me..

3:56 am

Haz1558

er4/4 - could be either a seabird singular, or seabird plural?

3:57 am

Buttonman

I have the one that sounds like a man's name..it is the other one

3:58 am

Haz1558

One ends as it begins (a vowel) the other is the same except it ends in s.

3:58 am

Buttonman

erts

3:58 am

Buttonman

eres

3:58 am

Buttonman

soory....

3:59 am

Haz1558

Nearly there! It only differs in the third letter.

4:01 am

mrpresident

I had my work xmas party the other night... I was sooooo good :)

4:02 am

Haz1558

But you still enjoyed yourself?

4:04 am

Buttonman

HAZ, i guess i need to go back to bed, I still can't find it

4:04 am

mrpresident

oh yes!! I managed to be the first called up for the xmas company present (sat on my bosses lap and gave him a kiss! cause he was santa!!) fell into the band at the end of the night (took someone with me :) she was laughing)... then went to the afterparty and the bosses daughter told everyone that I was 'so sexy' and then got proposed to by just about everyone!! managed to get home by 3am without incident!

4:04 am

Haz1558

Button - first three letters of the man's name, then plural. Unless it's a different one.

4:06 am

Haz1558

And that was you being good! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and resisted the temptation to dump lickety, white trousers and all....

4:06 am

Buttonman

feel stupid...got it thanks

4:06 am

Haz1558

Great! Congratulations!

4:06 am

Ankhorite

Proposed to! Well!

4:07 am

mrpresident

I was the MILF!! I didn't know what that was!!

4:08 am

Haz1558

But you do now! Fanciable is so much more flattering and less graphic.

4:09 am

Ankhorite

Ithink that is *such* a rude phrase,that MILF business. Hey, what does "give them a serve" mean?

4:09 am

mrpresident

oh haz!! majestic impossible lovely figure

4:10 am

Haz1558

The British and American version is ruder!

4:10 am

mrpresident

I know!! maddison is reading this chat log! :) :) :)

4:10 am

Ankhorite

*agrees with Haz*

4:11 am

Haz1558

Understood, mrpresident!

4:12 am

Ankhorite

*mutters softly to herself about "proposed" v. "propositioned"*

4:13 am

Ankhorite

te7,yay

4:13 am

mrpresident

oh ank! the proposed version was all in good fun, the propositioned version was ignored!!

4:14 am

Ankhorite

Attagirl, MrP. ;)

4:16 am

Ankhorite

re8,yay

4:17 am

Ankhorite

*mutters about "fest" and "fests" again*

4:18 am

Haz1558

That's a lot of muttering you're doing, Ankhorite...

4:18 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, see, I'm talking in my sleep... snuck out of bed. Dear One has ALL the covers.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Did you mutter at him as well?

4:20 am

Ankhorite

No, actually, Dear clucked like a chicken at me... kind of an early-sleepy-rooster imitation...

4:20 am

Ankhorite

And fell back asleep, I'm sure.

4:21 am

M3

HI, is this a tuffy today, or has my cold got the better of me?

4:21 am

mrpresident

hi M3! been forever!!

4:21 am

Ankhorite

4:45 am

lynxxx

4:46 am

Ankhorite

Yes, txs, Lynxxx, if it's not real, I need a push.

4:46 am

lynxxx

on7.28 first number + a big stream less the middle consonent

4:47 am

Ankhorite

WTH is that? got it, nw must look it up

4:48 am

Ankhorite

*strikes out at TWO dictionaries*

4:48 am

Katydid0615

I know what it means Ankh . . . it is when a kid gets good and onry

4:49 am

Katydid0615

or i guess i should say bad and onry, or real onery

4:49 am

Katydid0615

or however it is you spell the root word

4:50 am

Ankhorite

Except that there should be an R between the O and N! (I found it in a Scrabble word list, but not in ANY dictionary, tsk tsk tsk!)

4:51 am

Ankhorite

Very nice icon, Katy. Yeah, I tried five dictionaries, not in any, but you are right per the Scrabble list.

4:52 am

Katydid0615

hmmmm....i guess i've always spelled it wrong then, cause i never even thought about putting an "r" as the second letter. LOL

4:52 am

Ankhorite

heh! Regional, maybe? Southern or Western US?

4:53 am

Katydid0615

Midwest. Indiana.

4:54 am

Ankhorite

*from Illinois*

4:54 am

anawaltgal

4:55 am

Ankhorite

Hi, Ana, what's a CRV?

Katydid0615

4:57 am

anawaltgal

out is good for me and it is going to be 60 degrees

4:57 am

Katydid0615

ankh ... a CRV is a type of Honda, sort of a cross between a van and a jeep.

4:57 am

Ankhorite

See, now I'm hungry. Oh, txs, Katy.

4:57 am

sunny09

yay a little one! hi everyone :) Lynxxx, how are you with all the smoke hanging over Melbourne?

4:58 am

Katydid0615

4:58 am

Ankhorite

Smoke?

4:58 am

Katydid0615

morning sunny.

4:59 am

lynxxx

Hi Sunny - was quite bad yesterday and this morning. But cool change has come and what with the RAIN and the wind all is quite nice now. hope rain gets to the fires

5:00 am

Ankhorite

Fires! *must watch the news today* Sorry to hear it.

5:01 am

sunny09

did you say the 'R' word Lynxxx?? not too loud now or it will disappear. lol

5:01 am

lynxxx

Its been pretty bad in our State this past week Ankh - we need some of that water that seems to be flooding parts of the States

5:01 am

Ankhorite

Very sorry to hear it.

5:02 am

Ankhorite

Last night, the news mentioned that global warming is fouling up Austria's tourist trade by shortening their snow season. :(

5:03 am

spanner

We are also having some flooding over here and its abnormally mild for this time of year

5:03 am

sunny09

it seems that there are extreme weather conditions everywhere and some freaky ones as well. I don't think I have ever heard of a tornado in England before

5:04 am

Ankhorite

No! I never have, either!

5:04 am

spanner

We had another one earlier this year in Birmingham...

5:04 am

Ankhorite

*looks longingly at Spanner's pretty Blue*

5:04 am

spanner

Hes such a puff ankh

5:05 am

Ankhorite

Just what I like, a 60-pound lapdog. Er, five stone?

5:05 am

spanner

His latest thing is to sit under the christmas tree staring longingly at the sugar canes and sighing...

5:05 am

Ankhorite

*sighs right along with him*

5:06 am

spanner

He is a big brute. 30 inches to the shoulder and solid muscle

5:06 am

sunny09

do you share with him spanner?? poor puppy!

5:07 am

spanner

Yup, thats why we have sugar canes and not chocolate on the tree, 'cause its poinonous to dogs

5:07 am

lynxxx

bye everyone - still got 48 to find but morning job

5:07 am

Ankhorite

Our cousins put their giant Weim in a farm-kennel through MARCH because the wife is really very very pregnant, hi-risk. They can't leave the dog with us because -- I'm not kidding -- the poor dog is allergic to our yard.

5:07 am

Ankhorite

Bye, Lynxxx.

5:07 am

Katydid0615

have a good day lynxxx.

5:07 am

Haz1558

Bye lunxxx - I'm just back to try and finish.

5:07 am

spanner

Bye lynxxx

5:07 am

Ankhorite

67 to go, finally hit halfway

5:08 am

spanner

Wow, never heard of a dog being allegic to a YARD!!!

5:08 am

Ankhorite

But I feel for poor Sage, living apart. :( Wish she was here.

5:08 am

Ankhorite

Sage must be near Blue's size; 90 pounds and not fat. A moose of a Weim.

5:08 am

sunny09

bye Lynxxx, hope that cool change comes through!

5:10 am

spanner

Blue is sweet really..I also have a black lab called puddin and blue adores him. I never had to house train him, cause when he stooped Blue just picked him up and took him outside..

5:10 am

Ankhorite

LOL!

5:10 am

Ankhorite

A nanny dog, how nice!

5:11 am

spanner

Funny thing is puddin is fully grown and when ever blue feels like hes in the way he just grabs his collar and moves him

5:11 am

Ankhorite

Old habits...

5:12 am

spanner

Poor pud never gets to lie on the hearth in front of the fire...LOL

5:12 am

Ankhorite

awwww.... :)

5:17 am

spanner

Is it just me or is this a bit tough?

5:18 am

sunny09

I had a dog who was like that with our cat. When she had kittens, Silky would lie beside the basket and nudge them back in with her nose if they became too adventurous and if mama cat was gone too long she would herd her back into the basket.

5:18 am

Katydid0615

i got half way through spanner, then it seems to have gotten tough.

5:19 am

Ankhorite

What kind was Sunny? Me, too, Katy.

5:19 am

spanner

Oh Bless. I love cats, but can only watch them from a distance as I am very allegic to them, but arent they fascinating. I can understand why the Egyptians worshipped them...

5:20 am

Ankhorite

i didn't, until we had rats in the garage, and suddenly cats seemed entirely divine to me.

5:21 am

sunny09

Silky was a cross with a blue heeler/bull terrier and a foxy thingy. LOL She stood to my knee and was cattle dodg along her back, with a foxy head but big, and big bully feet. Sweet as a lamb though.

5:21 am

spanner

I ahve a theory that the egyptians worshipped the cats and the cats have never forgotten it...LOL

5:22 am

Ankhorite

A cattle dog heart.

5:22 am

Ankhorite

Oh, yes, cats look at us with disdain... my college buddy had a dog (near-sheltie) that would herd her mother's 13 cats.

5:22 am

Ankhorite

You could ask for a cat (or child) by name, and she would herd them to you.

5:23 am

Ankhorite

*I* got herded by a chowchow once! Teddy was mad at me for petting other dogs in his sight, but out of his reach... when I came back to the yard, he nipped me all the way back to the house post-haste!

5:24 am

Ankhorite

okay, 75 done for me, time to go do something else... txs for the chat, all, happy babbling, and I hope the rain does come to you Aussies!

5:24 am

spanner

Clever. Blue is a bit worried about cats, he kind of circles the farm cat when she pops over. They are like 2 fighters waiting for the bell. All hell will break loose if it ever rings...

5:24 am

Rlee

thank you Ank, take care

5:25 am

spanner

Bye Ankh, be safe..

5:25 am

Katydid0615

have a good day ankh.

5:25 am

sunny09

thanks Ankh! hope you guys get some sun over your way. We could swap weather for a while

5:26 am

Ankhorite

Txs, Katy, Sunny. Me too -- by, Rlee! and all! **POOF!!**

Gotta go, the ancient one calls...Bye all happy babbling

9:53 am

hurshy

9:53 am

hurshy

9:53 am

hurshy

9:53 am

Anniebrook

I started off okay then I came to a standstill and here I sit

9:53 am

flosey

hurshy, if there's such a thing, it would be the person who se4/4's

9:53 am

hurshy

i gots 5 to go

9:54 am

kthdsn

woohoo closed out the middle S

9:55 am

hurshy

now if we could find that blasted F

9:55 am

flosey

is it one of the f7's ?

9:56 am

hurshy

are there 2 f5's, or are there 3 f6's

9:56 am

hurshy

no we have all the 7's

9:56 am

BabbleRabble

1 f 5

9:56 am

flosey

only 1 f5

9:57 am

hurshy

so that'd be a 6 then

9:57 am

hurshy

i gots a mischievous animal and to let something stew

9:57 am

hurshy

but not in a good way

9:57 am

Merk

I finally have to cave in ask for help. I need clues for the fe 6,27 and the two fe 7,40 that follow it. Please.

9:58 am

hurshy

a pet animal that steals your stuff, and pl, and then like iron

9:58 am

flosey

merk, one fe7 is a sore that becomes infected

9:58 am

BabbleRabble

fe 6 == sounds like not late, rather ahead of time

9:59 am

gailinrb

hi all

9:59 am

flosey

9:59 am

hurshy

9:59 am

Anniebrook

babble, thanks!!!

9:59 am

Merk

Unless my list is totally out of whack, I have the 'early' sounding fe and the infected sore.

10:00 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, gailinrb

10:00 am

flosey

are you at work kth?

10:00 am

kthdsn

yes flosey

10:00 am

gailinrb

hi ya. am about to finish my struggle with the Rs.

10:00 am

Merk

The 6,27, in my list, comes after the pl. of the green, leafy forest plant.

10:00 am

flosey

how about fe7/40 a frondlike plant - more so

10:00 am

BabbleRabble

the other fe is an ermine-like critter

10:01 am

smooth_pappa

oooh! I love that icon Babble Rabble... It reinforces everything I already think about clowns. ;)

10:02 am

BabbleRabble

its me on a bad hair day

10:02 am

Merk

Oh, those r tiles messed me up. Whoever gave me the mink like animal, I think I've got that! Thanks

10:03 am

10:03 am

Merk

Isn't there the fe guy who shoes horses?

10:03 am

hurshy

farrier

10:04 am

flosey

change first vowel

10:04 am

hurshy

no no

10:04 am

hurshy

i'm saying the guy who shoes horses is farrier

10:04 am

Merk

Why can't he be fe just for me? Would you look at me sentence ... four rhymes.

10:04 am

hurshy

and ferrier isn't anything

10:04 am

flosey

like a lot of words in here !

10:04 am

Merk

No, he's not.

10:04 am

hurshy

although person who takes people across rivers would be a logical def. for it

10:05 am

Merk

So I still need one more fe 7

10:05 am

hurshy

like iron, merk

10:06 am

Merk

Yes, and I can't get a mental image of it even though I know exactly what you mean.

10:06 am

hurshy

10:06 am

mkl

Ok. I give up. Can someone clue the fe6,27 please?

10:06 am

mkl

Oh. Buy the way. Hello everyone.

10:06 am

Anniebrook

I have the fe 7,40 whose ending rhymes with might.

10:07 am

hurshy

10:07 am

gailinrb

10:07 am

Anniebrook

Sorry again. I only need the first fe7.

10:07 am

mkl

10:07 am

gailinrb

more green plant like, mkl

10:07 am

hurshy

or no, you said 6 originally, so you need sounds like not late

10:08 am

flosey

fe6/21 Babble clued earlier - not late

10:08 am

mkl

thanks much. Never thought of going that direction.

10:08 am

gailinrb

ahh. the 1st fe 6/27= fe + a consonant + prevaricate

10:10 am

flosey

10:14 am

flosey

10:14 am

hurshy

10:15 am

hurshy

We can get duck at Christmas only -- no goose though. Even in France it was very difficult to find goose and when you did it was "tres cher" -- I think the animal rights groups must have prevailed in France.

6:23 pm

EspritdJean

I thought someone was going to tell me to piss off LOL

6:23 pm

Jacula

Of course, the word I was thinking of is tu6! I'm cross-eyed (and brained, it would seem) tonight.

6:23 pm

Biltong

that's the one, ty, Cyborg

6:25 pm

Jacula

Esprit - No! Not in the Season of Goodwill anyway. LOL.

6:25 pm

I had the same prob earlier Jean, everyone kept saying the soup thingy and I just could not get it lol

6:26 pm

grammaterri1

6:26 pm

grammaterri1

specially some of the ding dong re words lol

6:26 pm

Biltong

I still can't get the soup/vegetable thingy. Any more clues please?

6:27 pm

Jacula

grammaT - thing is, if I'd not been cross-eyed and cross-brained, I'd have known that, in act do know that. Esprit was right to correct me.

6:27 pm

grammaterri1

right

6:27 pm

grammaterri1

most of those words build off my name, not the gramma part

6:28 pm

Jacula

6:30 pm

Ankhorite

Oh, Mousey! Sorry -- meant cheating by using one icon for the theme "candles" and re-using it the next day (today) for "ornaments". Hello, Jilli! Jac! And all. :)

7:49 pm

phan -- there is an re6/18 with a 5/10 after it. This 6/18 follows an re4/4 which means "a network, as of fibers, nerves, or blood vessels. " Add a compass direction to that word. The re5 that follows it to do up your shoes again.

7:49 pm

the re5.10 after it is the plural of the leisure word.
