12:00 am

I was jsut about to get that last word and flip! D***!

12:00 am

flosey

12:00 am

Nef

12:00 am

cybernan

12:01 am

helenkeller

12:01 am

Hello. Aarrgh

12:01 am

flosey

well, will start anyway!

12:01 am

helenkeller

uh-oh - everyone's gunning for nan now, lol

12:01 am

prismmgc2

flip!

12:01 am

girlie

ack ... good thing I've got nothing to do but sit here with a cold

prismmgc2

little late but oh well

12:01 am

ursh

Helen - tx for interest - i will email you shortly

12:01 am

Nef

You got your wish; but right off the bat I see a lot of words! :)

12:02 am

La Di Da

flip!! I am a bit late!

12:03 am

helenkeller

nef- mine was not from a fall, but i wouldn't necessarily call it elective either, it was end- stage arthritis, bone on bone, i was popping vicodin like dr. house (well, not quite that bad, but still, i was in constant pain)

12:03 am

VolleymomDee

Hi babble buddies!!

12:03 am

helenkeller

okay ursh - i will gladly tell you all i can & send you to web sites to get more direct info :)))

VolleymomDee

Hi Jill!! LOL me too

12:04 am

jillibus

stored

12:04 am

Nef

Helen, when I said elective; that differentiates it from a trauma or fall I believ. They don't go around replacing hips for the fun of it. Most orthopedic surgeons put it off as long as possible

12:04 am

jillibus

tons

12:05 am

jillibus

12:08 am

jillibus

Hi melon - I know how you feel

12:08 am

helenkeller

nef - i believe mine resulted from car vs. bike incident 30 years ago (i was on bicycle, i lost) - but i will tell you, that's what they said - it's up to me, "you may want to put it off cause you're 'so young'," big mistake, i wish i had done it much sooner & that's what i tell everyone now, cause the quality of my life is worlds better now - it's really rather miraculous :)

Melon - happy birthday for yesterday! (even though it is somewhat clouded)

12:10 am

Nef

Helen, a lot of ortho docs won't do it before a person is over 60 years old because they don't last long (maybe 15 years?)

12:11 am

DRBERNABO

the 10 is 105 points

12:12 am

jillibus

lol nef!

12:12 am

helenkeller

yes nef - that's exactly why - i was 45 when it started to hurt - but i stand by what i say - it's not worth the gamble, who knows, a person may get hit by a bus tomorrow & also there (better be, i hope, knock on wood) improvements in the revision by the time i need one

12:12 am

VolleymomDee

what does the 10 begin with?

12:14 am

helenkeller

hell, i quit bowling, tennis, & towards the end, even walking my dogs, i was very depressed, so i also started to take anti-depressants - that & the new hip made me my old, fabulous self again

12:15 am

prismmgc2

My 83 year old mom had her hips done. One at 79, the other at 81. What a difference

12:15 am

jillibus

hehe, greyed the Q

12:15 am

jillibus

maul

12:15 am

Nef

I'm glad you are feeling better Helen. And (unfortunately) I know too well how a decrease in activity can get a person down

12:15 am

jillibus

sorry again

12:15 am

helenkeller

pris - i bet she's much more fun to be around now, lol

jili needs new glasses

12:45 am

jillibus

the young Sophia?

12:46 am

helenkeller

hey, she still looks pretty much the same to me - quite amazing

12:46 am

FranMag

this looks like Sophia in the 80s

12:46 am

jillibus

I swear I didn't see all those other people name her

12:46 am

FranMag

1980s, not her 80s

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

12:46 am

FranMag

like helen said, you need new glasses jilli! :-)

12:46 am

helenkeller

hey, i saw on the oscars when they were doing the 'in memoriam' part, that carlo ponti died last year, i didn't know that

12:47 am

jillibus

Ok, that was for melon's birthday Italian Movies theme, right?

12:47 am

jillibus

I think I needed a new brain, not glasses

12:48 am

DRBERNABO

so we're looking for a pa 8 that is not there?

12:48 am

flosey

no jilli, not at all

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

must be... I thought you or mr said it... must have been mistaken

12:49 am

cybernan

is the pa 9 a compound word?

12:49 am

FranMag

you definitely don't need a new brain jilli, unless you can download your current contents and save them somewhre.

12:50 am

DRBERNABO

yes, the 9 and 10 are both compound words (as in they are two words in the grid put together)

12:51 am

hi everyone

2:13 am

Andree

hello andree

I'm just trying to understand lickity's thingy.

jillibus

Aniku -- Did you see my explanation? (scroll down)

2:14 am

Amiku

OH

2:14 am

lynxxx

Amiku - the first number will be the number of letters - the second numbers are the point total for that word. Each tile has a point value on it - like Scrabble

2:15 am

Amiku

I get it nowwwwwww

2:15 am

jillibus

Amiku

It's my birthday tomorrow. I've just realised.

2:23 am

hydra

Morning lynxxx, Andree, Sprite, Jillbus, Amiku. Why won't the grid accept Parp, as in Toad of Toad Hall's favourite word?

2:23 am

Andree

maybe we don't have the same grid ad everyone else, lol

2:23 am

jillibus

Happy birthday tomorrow amiku!

VolleymomDee

2:24 am

hydra

I haven't found one, Volleymom

2:27 am

Amiku

Hehehe

2:28 am

hydra

Add a letter and you get the German for 'cheers'! (Well, I think it's German)

2:28 am

Amiku

Well I'm 16 as of tomorrow so I'd like to think that I have enough of a life to sustain myself for another couple of years :P

2:28 am

jillibus

Amiku, if you click on the icons you get a profile of the player. There's also a daily theme for icons -- some of us enjoy following it, others prefer to stick with one of their own choosing

2:28 am

sprite

now now now, Andree, don't call us cheap!

2:28 am

hydra

Congrats for tomorrow, Amiku

2:28 am

Amiku

3:43 am

Haz1558

FranMag

3:54 am

lynxxx

Conxshun the 9&10 aren't related to the 8s

3:55 am

ConXshun

6:13 am

ConXshun

6:13 am

Wolvie

;-)

6:14 am

lynxxx

di 6 & 7 ... d + I need to **** the clothes after I wash them but insert last vowel after the first letter of that word

6:14 am

ConXshun

de plus what this grid makes me feel like (only single consonant)

6:14 am

Haz1558

di6 - di plus a vowel, then Pres Reagan shortened

6:14 am

Wolvie

ty haz

6:15 am

lynxxx

sooo much better Haz - I'll just stop trying to clue now

6:15 am

Wolvie

6:15 am

Haz1558

Don't be silly lynxxx!

6:16 am

ConXshun

phone!

6:16 am

hillary

can anyone clue the 10?

6:17 am

KristineNas

a clue hmmmm it has 10 letters !!

6:17 am

KristineNas

:-/

6:17 am

Haz1558

hillary - first find the po6/30 - a small platform. Then put a four letter prefix beginning pa in front. The pa prefix comes before trooper and military in some circumstances.

6:18 am

lynnet

pa/10 pa**legal plus po 6/30

6:18 am

Haz1558

pa9 follows the same idea, but make the ending a latin plural.

6:18 am

hillary

tks haz, I had the po6/30, would never have thought of adding that prefix!

6:18 am

Wolvie

ty haz - great clue

6:19 am

Scrabbler

**thinking of a platform starting with po...??**

6:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - got it earlier from the chat log.

6:19 am

Wolvie

tum tum tum tum tum...rhymes with the ending

6:19 am

Haz1558

P plus a word for hatred...(od5/16)

6:19 am

bhavya

anyone got a clue for the qu?

6:20 am

KristineNas

sounds like per diem scrab minus the r

6:20 am

KristineNas

kinda sorts anyway

6:20 am

Anne38

the 10 is two words joined the pa 4 and the po 6

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I was looking at the other P, 4th column. to start the po

6:20 am

Haz1558

qu plus the beginning of the opposite of even for qu4.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

OK, I have the 9 and the 10, life is good, and I must get ready for work, against my will.

6:21 am

Wolvie

bye scrabbler

6:21 am

hillary

tell me a bit about the 9 scrabber!

6:21 am

Wolvie

what does the 9 start with??

6:21 am

Haz1558

The grid will be waiting for you when you get back, Scrabbler. Drive carefully.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Latin plural of the 10

6:22 am

Anne38

go acros the bottom and up to the um

6:22 am

Wolvie

ah - ty

6:22 am

KristineNas

<does not know latin

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I work, then volunteer at the cancer institute, so I will be back at 7:30 or so, my time

6:22 am

Haz1558

pa9 - on the basis that stadium is singular, and stadia is plural, apply the same rules to the pa10 to make the pa9

6:22 am

KristineNas

TYV HAZ

6:23 am

KristineNas

m

6:23 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:23 am

bhavya

thanks haz, and anyone got a clue for pa10?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Great clue, as usual, Hazel. When is your book coming out? "Strategies for Babble Clues: A Study of the Subtle and the Obvious."

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Or, Babble for Dummies. Or, The Idiot's Guide to Babble.

6:24 am

Haz1558

I'll have to start work on it soon, Scrabbler. That's a catchy title.

6:25 am

Haz1558

pa10 was clued just down the page, bhavya (6.17 onwards)

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye! (I can't be late for work and say that I was stuck in Babble Land.)

6:47 am

LoriP

We've had that word in grids before, and I stated then, as I do now, that though they may be offensive, they are words. Glad to see the grid isn't politically correct

Anniebrook

nutsy, see you later

8:19 am

Haz1558

peri - first find the small platform (po6/21). Then prefix it with a four letter pa word which precedes trooper or military. The pa9 is formed in the same way, but is the latin plural and ends in a vowel.

8:19 am

Alleyn

Silver clue please for the pe9 and st8. I'm stumped and need them before booking a holiday. Done the 9 and 10

8:20 am

8:21 am

periwinkle

*much*

8:21 am

Haz1558

st8 - first think of a word which describes something that is not a liquid or a gas. Then put a t after the s to make the adjective for impassive, unmoving (st6) , Make it a comparative (and even more dull) for st8

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Haz, I never would have found the 9 and 10...maybe if I found each word separately and put them together

8:22 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Annie and peri.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Haz, thanks agin

8:23 am

LoriP

Even if you had drawn me a map, and done an interpretive dance, I still wouldn't have found them.

8:23 am

Alleyn

Haz. You brick st8 done!

8:24 am

Haz1558

pe9 - first four letters that precede 'winkle' in the babbler's name with the blue flower icon. Then rearrange the letters of the postman with the black and white cat....

8:24 am

ARB

Haz, you are remarkable.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Lori - the thought of me doing an interpretative dance will make me smile all afternoon!

8:24 am

Haz1558

Pe7 that is - plural for pe8.

8:24 am

LoriP

If it made you smile, I'm glad to return the favor. :-)

8:25 am

Anniebrook

I have all the 8, 9, and 10's---thanks to Haz

8:25 am

Haz1558

Well done Annie!

8:27 am

GobiasIndustries

8:27 am

Haz1558

It's bound to be Alleyn - does it ever get cold there? Bloodaxe would know.

8:27 am

LoriP

anagram a *** on the back for a job well done

8:27 am

Haz1558

Ah, the postman has a shortened version of the patron saint of Ireland.

8:27 am

Alleyn

Gobiaetc. You need grandkids for that clue!!!!!!!!11

8:28 am

Haz1558

I picked it to suit, Alleyn - I thought you'd know!

8:29 am

LoriP

Okay, need more coffee. There are 2 ai's spots on the grid. That would explain my frustration....

8:31 am

Alleyn

You all need me too well. I do work two days a week as well as being a silver grandmother. But again based around children............

8:32 am

Haz1558

I reckoned with George in the picture you'd have to have a working knowledge of Greendale and its characters.

8:34 am

lizmac

D'you think P***man P** has a thing going with Mrs Goggins?

8:34 am

Haz1558

No, indeed - sure he's happily married to Sarah.

8:35 am

lizmac

Forever popping in for cups of tea though..draw your own conclusions!!

8:36 am

Haz1558

But it's only when he's picking up more letters and parcels. No, he's innocent, I'm convinced of it.

8:36 am

Alleyn

Has anyone caught Shaun the Sheep?

8:37 am

Haz1558

I saw it highlighted in the paper as being a must watch. Did you see it yet?

8:37 am

ARB

Alleyn

Got the mend one!

9:18 am

LoriP

Wow. Thank ye muchly Haz! That interpretive dance thing is working out quite nicely!

9:18 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - The un8 is based on a un6 word, ending in y which indicates one who is out of control, not abiding by regulations etc. Make it a comparative by dropping the sometimes vowel, replacing it with a vowel and a comparative ending.

9:19 am

LoriP

I never would have gotten that in a month of Sundays

9:19 am

Haz1558

All that swaying, Lori, the dog is giving me funny looks...

Alleyn

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

pabtrek

9:33 am

LoriP

ha = to drag something, or in it for the long **** + I am f***cely adamant that is a stoopid word

9:33 am

Haz1558

pabtrek - one who moves consignments of goods, add a comparative ending to the dragging ha4/6

9:33 am

Anniebrook

pab, ha 4/6---make it comparative

9:33 am

Uneaixoise

that's a word?

9:33 am

Haz1558

Lori - it's a normal word in Britain.

9:33 am

pabtrek

thanks lori, haz and annie

9:34 am

Anniebrook

Une, I guess that's a word....

9:34 am

LoriP

LOL Haz, never heard it in my life. Along with a bazillion other words.... :-)

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

is it a brit noun or adjective??

9:34 am

Atalante

noun

9:34 am

Atalante

as in a firm of ha7s

9:34 am

Haz1558

It's a noun - someone who is prepared to do the shifting.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! : )

10:01 am

LoriP

Sorry Monkey. :(

10:01 am

Haz1558

st6/21 can either be impassive, lacking in emotion. or another one is four letters for the opposite of go, plus the us medical drama - the one who does the action.

10:02 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon TO.

10:02 am

Alleyn

Lori. Of course!

10:03 am

10:03 am

Alleyn

Got it all on my own...........

10:03 am

Haz1558

cu7/40 - a comparative relating to the Little Miss Muffet food.

10:04 am

Jen34

was it "stoic"? I tried that one, too

10:04 am

Strider

cu 7/40 is more of the little miss muffet's stuff

10:04 am

Strider

Haz - I guess we are on the same wave length

10:04 am

MonkeyMind

jen...that's what i thought. not there though

10:04 am

Haz1558

Monkey - the word rhymes and is structured almost exactly like the opposite of a liquid or gas.

10:04 am

dicktrickle

think not liquid or gas....with an added letter in there

10:04 am

harpjane

i'm still waiting for the dance lori

Haz1558

Not to mention the babblers.

11:00 am

Charm

weird babblers? I thought that was a given, Haz.

11:00 am

Haz1558

True, a redundant statement.

11:01 am

cybernan

that was a short walk, Haz!

11:01 am

Haz1558

I know - not allowed to walk too far with this leg....

11:02 am

cybernan

what's wrong with your leg?

11:02 am

Haz1558

Sciatic nerve is playing up....

11:02 am

cybernan

oh -- ouch!!!

11:02 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

11:04 am

cybernan

have you tried a muscle relaxant? --- we have an over the counter med here called ParafonForte, which is part analgesic and part muscle relaxant -- doesn't cure anything, but sure does relieve the pain.

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone else think htis gird is fairly difficult?

11:04 am

cybernan

Apparently when the nerve is inflamed it causes the surrounding muscle to spasm

11:05 am

cybernan

yeeeeeeeees!!!

11:05 am

cybernan

Just waiting till I'm down to 100 before going for the list

11:05 am

lizmac

TO...not so much difficult as looooong !!

11:05 am

Haz1558

I've got a couple of tablets prescribed by the doctor, and they're easing it a bit, but the pain never goes away completely. It could be worse.

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

valium is helping that ofr me. but i still have muscvle spasms

11:06 am

doxy1lover

any clues for the pa9/10???

11:07 am

cybernan

The problem with valium is that you shouldn't drive after taking it. Can't have any alcoholic beverages either.

11:07 am

Haz1558

You don't appreciate how well the body is put together until one part goes wrong.

11:07 am
