12:12 am

jillibus

sometimes you just have to refresh

12:12 am

stidmama

oh steph that is so frustrating. I think it's because there are so many people who show up right at the flip and try to be first to finish.

12:12 am

steph606

once or twice it has let me put in a word but then stopped again

12:12 am

prismmgc2

1:33 am

sprite

cuddle breaks with cats are very important! :)

1:34 am

jillibus

yes -- we both think so :)

1:35 am

sprite

but I think the cat sees it differently... it thinks you are having a babblebreak from cuddling now.

1:44 am

Ocky

thanks, fellow primates!

1:45 am

sprite

we primates have to help eachother, especially with today's grid!
But, having the sea mammal, the egypt mythical animal and the disney dwarf in one grid makes up for lots of unwords :)

1:46 am

Ocky

Oops. I gotta go. Amazingly, the plumber has turned up at a quarter to five on a Friday afternoon. Never thought it possible. Bye all. Happy babbling

1:46 am

loredana

hi Amiku, yes, it is a tough one

1:52 am

jillibus

Amiku

Hey Jilli, Hey Sprite.

1:55 am

jillibus

pols

1:55 am

jillibus

when will I learn?

1:56 am

sprite

yes, you told me about it. But I never fill in Lickety's page. If I use the great man, it is to look up 2nd letters and peeking where my missing ones should fit in, lol.

1:56 am

Amiku

haha

1:56 am

Amiku

Certainly not yet :P

1:56 am

Amiku

Sprite: how many today?

1:57 am

Amiku

Nice, Jilli.

2:01 am

jillibus

sorry again

2:01 am

jillibus

sorry again

2:01 am

annotherone

the no5,14 is becoming a 'must have' word in the grids recently

2:01 am

sprite

jilli, it is the site, it is not you. :)

2:01 am

jillibus

hiccup time, I know!

2:01 am

sprite

true ann, someone raised it to babblet status earlier

2:01 am

Amiku

We love you anyway, Jilli <3

2:02 am

annotherone

it's been in every one of the grids I've done recently

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

hiccup for me

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

no 6/27 clue.... opposite of aye is n** (but change vowel to 1st vowel) + athletes drink Gator ***

2:04 am

annotherone

wow I've grayed out a box yippee!! ok so it's only the N on the bottom row and it's only one word but for this grid I feel that's a pretty good achievement

2:19 am

sprite

Dee, can't see how changing to 1st vowel will give me a no6 :(
And the darn site froze on me again.

2:21 am

BabbleRabble

spite, the site freezing is an an***ance; then the athletic drink gator***

2:21 am

Dianne

sprite - no6 - first half rhymes with opp of girl last half is the

2:22 am

Dianne

try again - last half is the Gator ***.

2:22 am

sprite

yay, that did it, thanks you both :)

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

sorry I got bumped into cyber space all.... I couldn't get back in

2:24 am

sprite

same here, Dee. I keep getting server time outs from this site lately

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

yw... sorry I wasn't answering you... I wasn't here LOL

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

not sure what is up...only started this week

2:25 am

jillibus

what happened? babble wouldn't load...

2:25 am

sprite

you know the worst thing from that freezing is, the site doesn't register the words I have typed in before I realised it had frozen. So now I am looking for words I have already found and my brain refuses to see them again :(

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

got knocked out and then wouldn't load

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

here, too sprite

2:26 am

sprite

yup, same here

2:26 am

jillibus

so I'm not the on** one

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

part of my prob may be because I am on SLOW dial up

2:26 am

sprite

has anyone informed drG already?

2:27 am

jillibus

noy I

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

& I usually have lickety's box and more words open with babble... maybe new bulk feature is too much for my puter...

2:27 am

jillibus

Oh, too sleepy -- not I, I meant

2:27 am

sprite

I am on DSL, but there might be too many hops between the servers, I don't know. Still, it is a new problem, never had it before.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

not I either

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

good to know it is new

2:28 am

sprite

well, I won't report it, he doesn't believe me anyway. We will see.

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

you report it & I will back you up LOL

2:28 am

sprite

lol Dee!

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

this time I lost all of my words I had on Lickety's list, so ty ty ty for the bulk ad

2:29 am

sprite

nah, being called a liar once was enough for me, I will wait until the problem is either solved or we get used to it :)

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

easy as pie to fix

2:29 am

sprite

wow Dee, that is great! Lickety is the best.

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

who called you a liar?

2:30 am

jillibus

and why?

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

yeah & why?

2:31 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Volley - Cool!

2:31 am

sprite

drG, after the new setup of the site, when I wrote to him that most of the chatters entered grid words in the chat because of the new layout. He told me that was a lie, it was less than one percent of the people playing babble that put words in the chat.

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

It was truly amazing, & I love you Lickety

2:31 am

licketySplitAUS

And guess what I've done it! I've worked out how to do my reverse thing! YAY! Wow - this is cool.

2:32 am

sprite

Lickety, *hugs* to you and mrP :)

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

LOL well, apparently hasn't watched the chat sprite LOL

2:32 am

licketySplitAUS

hugs back to you sprite!

2:32 am

jillibus

whee, Lickety!! So how does it work?

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

definitely XXXX & OOOOO

2:32 am

Ocky

hi all, back for a short visit

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

welcome back

2:33 am

sprite

yeah, I heard from others that he took them seriously about it, so it must be personal. My punishment for being a strong supporter of this site for so long, perhaps ;)

2:33 am

licketySplitAUS

jilibus - gotta go, but will let you all know later. bfn.

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

bfn

2:33 am

sprite

bye Lickety

2:34 am

jillibus

bye Lickety -- I'm too sleepy to take it n anyway

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

folks are goofy sometimes sprite.... see it almost every day at work... you want to look at them and say, "Are you absolutely crazy?"

2:35 am

Ocky

only sometimes, Volley?

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

LOL.... I work at a church part time, so I will say.... tee hee... only sometimes....

2:36 am

Ocky

very tactful

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

nevertheless, we love you sprite

2:36 am

sprite

ah well, I confess it hurt. Has put me off giving any more feedback at all, since I truly did not deserve being called a liar. I decided I play this game for fun and don't have to put up with that kind of goofiness :)

2:36 am

Heri

Hey, this tool by lickety is pretty nice.

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely dear sprite, and we all love you... especially for all of your clues, help, and encouragement

2:37 am

sprite

and I love you guys right back, Dee :)
This is a great community and I treasure being a part of it.

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

2:37 am

yay Heri, isn't our Lickety wonderful

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

so true

2:37 am

knutmeg

good evening all.

2:37 am

Ocky

maybe drG accidentally typed "liar' into the chatbox instead of the word box ;-)

2:37 am

sprite

hey knut :)

2:38 am

Heri

Now I see what y'all have been talking about, with these cryptic 'fe6,33' type statements :)

2:38 am

sprite

LOLLLL Ocky!

2:38 am

knutmeg

May I please vote that if a word has a silent letter and you can spell the word without the silent letter in the grid, it should count?

2:38 am

knutmeg

phantom: splotch and splotchy

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

LOL good idea knut

2:39 am

sprite

I am totally with you, knut ;)
Heri, glad you found out! But I hope you felt free to ask as well, because someone would willingly have explained.

2:39 am

jillibus

like janty instead of jaunty?

2:39 am

knutmeg

but that did count.

2:40 am

knutmeg

but it won't take sploch

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

I feel really dumb tonight... so many of these words are brand new to me

2:40 am

helenkeller

hey everyone

2:40 am

knutmeg

hello hk!

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

hi helen

2:40 am

jillibus

oh dear, one of those klingon grids, then?

2:40 am

sprite

same here, Dee, like the SL for instance. Argh.

2:41 am

sprite

hey helen!

2:41 am

helenkeller

i'm just stopping in to see how large the grid is - doesn't look too bad, but then again neither did yesterdays & it was killer

2:41 am

sprite

that was SL5/16

2:41 am

helenkeller

hi back at ya'll :)

2:41 am

sprite

helen, lots of unwords, but also some wonderful finds!

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

okay.... help with the ya word please

2:42 am

helenkeller

tx sprite

2:42 am

Heri

Sprite: well, I'm on my third grid now and I'm starting to recognize the regular crowd, so I guess I'm more comfortable now.

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

oops never mind accidentally found it

2:42 am

Heri

Plus, you know, I've been afraid of typing over here for fear of accidentally putting puzzle words in this box by mistake.

2:43 am

sprite

that's great, Heri, you are welcome to the madness :)
Don't worry too much about those accidental words, it happens to all of us and all we can do is try to avoid it. We have a lovely naughty corner with chocolate and all for the offenders ;)

2:43 am

annotherone

hi all back again - got so much housework done with the site going off

2:43 am

jillibus

haha heri!

2:44 am

Dee, I saw your question, am thinking of a way to clue it

2:44 am

annotherone

and (secretly) sometimes it's a great help

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

just found it by accident

2:44 am

jillibus

how many times have I done it just tonight/today?

2:44 am

sprite

ah, got it. Y + not young but ***, change vowel.

2:44 am

2:45 am

jillibus

thanks sprite

2:45 am

knutmeg

oh, another request we should put up to a vote: there should be a 2 grid limit on frequently used started letters having 20 or more words. (Re, C, etc) *glares at the C*

2:45 am

annotherone

I've got 86 left to find and running out of words to try

2:45 am

jillibus

Heri, the other thing we do is type chat into the Add Word box

2:45 am

Ocky

thanx sprite. I'm going again. Goodnight all

2:46 am

sprite

3:05 am

annotherone

a hard grid today

3:05 am

ren8

morning haz

3:05 am

Haz1558

We've had enough practice this week with c! Hello ren.

3:12 am

oggy

hi all, clue for the ly8 plz

3:12 am

Haz1558

Hello oggy.

3:12 am

annotherone

finished the c's phew!!

3:14 am

Haz1558

ly8 - ly plus the ending of a book-lovers word - or the ending of one who is passionately interested in anything.

3:15 am

Haz1558

ly, a vowel, beginnings of Duke Of Edinburgh's name, but end in a vowel.

3:17 am

Heri

Ouch... there was no room in my vocabulary for that word but it's been wedged in there anyway.

3:17 am

Frances

Morning all. Super clue for the eight Hax.

3:17 am

Frances

Oops Haz.

3:17 am

annotherone

thanks Haz nice clue

3:18 am

oggy

thanks haz great clue

3:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. The dictionary gives it as pertaining to freeze-drying; I was imagining something much more cultural!

3:20 am

Frances

What is it with the C words this week?

3:21 am

Haz1558

I know - they just keep coming.

3:24 am

annotherone

getting absolutely nowhere with the e words today

3:24 am

ren8

been bathing son, hello to all that have just come in, chores are calling so be back in a while, bye

3:25 am

Haz1558

Bye ren, see you later.

3:25 am

Heri

ei7,36 has me stumped

3:26 am

Haz1558

Morewords is useful! Begin like the downy duck, end like the habitual drinker (ei7)

3:27 am

annotherone

just found the ei

3:27 am

annotherone

was just wondering how to clue it - nice clue Haz

3:28 am

Haz1558

Now to see what it means!

3:29 am

annotherone

this grid is full of words I've never heard of!!

3:30 am

Heri

Whew, thanks Haz.

3:31 am

Haz1558

No meaning given in dictionary, google not yielding much either.

3:34 am

Heri

I'm guessing it must be related in meaning to the very similar -on word.

3:36 am

Haz1558

I was trying to remember -that word has appeared in the grid not that long ago.

3:44 am

loredana

ei7/36 ei very another name for a object of worship

3:44 am

loredana

++++ plus ic

3:45 am

Frances

another clue for ei7/36 e + something you worship + intensive care.

3:45 am

loredana

getting very tired tea break bbl

3:47 am

Haz1558

Bye loredana.

3:49 am

Haz1558

This is one of those grids where you have to creep up behind the words to capture them - one false letter and you're sunk.

3:52 am

annotherone

it's a very frustrating grid

3:53 am

annotherone

I keep walking away and doing a little housework

3:53 am

annotherone

but I'm a glutton for punishment and keep coming back for more

3:54 am

Haz1558

Fresh eyes do help sometimes. There's method in your madness.

3:54 am

annotherone

not really helping though - more a case of making up another word and seeing if it works

3:55 am

Haz1558

I've been surprised by some of the words that work! BUt not folic for some reason.

3:56 am

annotherone

I was surprised that didn't work - there is folic acid after all

3:57 am

Haz1558

That's what I was banking on.

4:09 am

annotherone

postman's finally been so can go out - 29 left to find for later

4:10 am

annotherone

have fun

4:10 am

Haz1558

See you later, annotherone.

4:14 am

ren8

housework done, so back for ½hr or so

4:15 am

Haz1558

Back to the grindstone.

4:28 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a quick break - back later to find the last 46 words. The list is about to be hit!

4:28 am

ren8

bye Haz might see you later

4:31 am

I am going to go and see if this is any easy later, bye

MonkeyGames

Working on Egypt clue.

4:51 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Alleyn. Packing takes so much time with a two-year-old helping...

4:51 am

Frances

Near the pyramids Monkey

4:51 am

sparklygem

thanks for the egypt one Frances!

4:51 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, duh! Thank you!!!!!

4:51 am

Alleyn

At least I don't have one of those but husband lurking to check what I am chucking out of the cupboards. Nearly as tricky

4:51 am

ConXshun

ty frances!

4:51 am

Frances

You're welcome

4:52 am

MonkeyGames

Sent mine off to work.

4:53 am

MonkeyGames

OK, last clue request before getting Walter off for his nap... the sl5 that is not an incline is taunting me.

4:54 am

4dd1ct

probably a silly question but what do things like sp6/38 mean? Starts with sp/6 letters? But what's the 38? Thx anyone ;)

4:55 am

Alleyn

The score

4:55 am

4dd1ct

ah ok! thx :)

4:55 am

Alleyn

And sorry didn't read full question. sp/6 means six letters totally 38 points

4:55 am

Haz1558

A four letter word gets points according to tile values. A five letter word gets the points, but they are doubled, six letter trebled etc.

4:57 am

Haz1558

And good morning again, by the way.

4:57 am

Alleyn

Much more patient exclamation! Only done 39 in half an hour!

4:57 am

Frances

sl5/16 s + l*** Grossman (American cook from Boston I think)

4:58 am

4dd1ct

"a system of manual training based on experience gained in woodworking, originally developed in Sweden." Yikes! Don't think I'm going to finishthis with words likethat!

4:58 am

MonkeyGames

Thank you! What a weird word. OK, off to send toddlers to sleep and grab myself some lunch (over which I will Babble) and tehn get back to work, work, work!

4:59 am

Frances

Bye Monkey

5:06 am

MonkeyGames

OK,back! He'snot asleepyet but he was happy enough to get into bed with only one rendition of Iko Iko (God forbid I should try to sing anything else right now...) so he must be tired. He's reading a kitty book to his owl.

5:06 am

swimma5

good morning everyone

5:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning.

5:07 am

MonkeyGames

Hi there!

5:11 am

MonkeyGames

po7?

5:12 am

Haz1558

po7 is the plural of po6/27 - structured as with Anne, one of Henry VIII's wives.

5:13 am

MonkeyGames

OK, working on it (don't have teh 6). Thanks for the clue!

5:13 am

Haz1558

Or follow the pl4/5 with Scots one, minus the vowel.

5:13 am

MonkeyGames

Know which Anne you probably mean, by the way.

5:13 am

Frances

po6/27 a piece for the knee, made of plate or leather. Also called knee cop.

5:14 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Frances. Had just got it from the Tudor clue, though.

5:15 am

LynnNate08

clue for n on bottom row please?

5:15 am

LynnNate08

also the o?

5:15 am

Scarlet

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for an excellent clue on the po/ , Haz.

5:15 am

Haz1558

no5/14 - chemical looking, has appeared frequently recently.

5:16 am

MonkeyGames

Akkkk, no wonder my brain is mud! I have forgotten toturn off the Winnie the Pooh movie I have had to listen to as background at least twice a day for a week. I will put on music. What's the other po6 like?

5:16 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Scarlet!

5:16 am

Scarlet

Good morning, MonkeyGames!

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scarlet. This is another challenge of a grid.

5:16 am

Scarlet

I can see that it is a very good one, Haz.

5:16 am

Haz1558

I don't have the other po6 yet.

5:17 am

MonkeyGames

OK!

5:17 am

Frances

Monkey po6/21 sounds like something floating on water minus an O

5:17 am

MonkeyGames

OK! Working on it...

5:17 am

Frances

Floating platform

5:18 am

MonkeyGames

Great clue (second one not required, but thank you).

5:18 am

Frances

You're welcome Monkey

5:18 am

Scarlet

Thank you for a good clue, Frances. Good morning.

5:18 am

MonkeyGames

I'm already seeing the benefits of turning off Tigger's Adventure or whatever it would be called in English (It's in Dutch).

5:19 am

Frances

Hi Scarlet. You are welcome.

5:26 am

Haz1558

You felt good about having to find 300 c words, Lori?

5:28 am

LoriP

The c words were voluminous, but I didn't find them to be very obscure. ***officially toying with the Babble gods***

5:29 am

LynnNate08

hi kris

5:36 am

Right, time for me to do other things. I'll look in later. Bye for now.

LoriP

What a studious group! I got here 1/2 an hour ago, and little chat, everybody deep in thought...

5:54 am

Scarlet

This requires some hard-aimed attention, Lori... LOL

5:54 am

MonkeyGames

Yup. Might be my last chance on here for a bit. Can anyone clue the al6?

5:56 am

Frances

Monkey al6/21 sounds like Mr Gores playthings LOL

5:56 am

Eva

thanks frances

5:56 am

LoriP

It's a plural. al + girls play with ***ls for 5, then plural

5:56 am

MonkeyGames

Looking...

5:56 am

LoriP

LOL, love that Frances

5:57 am

Frances

I try Lori

5:57 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, like the Tourette's Syndrome medication without th efirst letter!

5:57 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, both of you!

5:58 am

Frances

My pleasure Monkey

5:59 am

LoriP

I've definitely encountered some weird words. That, or not enough coffee. Or both.

5:59 am

MonkeyGames

Stuck for a cl4. Not the noise a horse's foot makes, not involved in something being overly sweet, not a chunk of dirt. What do I need?

6:01 am

Frances

cl4/5 short version of dolly the sheep

6:01 am

MonkeyGames

Ah, that one turns up a LOT and I always forget about it! Thanks!

6:02 am

MonkeyGames

Boy, the co's got a lot easier when I noticed the other co just now...

6:04 am

MonkeyGames

I'm really stuck for the sh5. Any hints on that? If I can actually hit 100 words I will consider that respectable enough to go pack another few boxes.

6:05 am

Frances

sh5/14 to move slowly

6:05 am

Alleyn

I'm back. It means to carry in yiddish

6:05 am

Frances

That too

6:06 am

6:06 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, what fun! Thought that had a c in it. Thanks!

6:06 am

lynxxx

TY Frances. Hi Alleyn

6:07 am

MonkeyGames

OK, that's 100 words. I'll be back after a few boxes to pester you good folks some more. Anyone in the Haarlem area needing two bed bottoms and a poffertjes pan?

6:07 am

Scarlet

What a wonderful word, MonkeyGames... poffertjes... what does it mean?

6:08 am

MonkeyGames

Little US-silver-dollar-sized puffy pancakes. SErved with any number of toppings, my favorite being advokaat and whipped cream.

6:08 am

Alleyn

I am sooooooooo hungry

6:09 am

Scarlet

Oh! Sounds lovely. Does it have designs on the face to texturize the pancakes?

6:09 am

carleekat

i see c's again....

6:09 am

carleekat

I'm NOT impressed

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

Nope, the pans are just full of little wells for the dough. After they puff up you flip them over.

6:09 am

Frances

Lots of them carleekat

6:09 am

MonkeyGames

Oh, and they're made with buckwheat flour.

6:09 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Monkey! Hi, carleekat. We have been in a "C" of words lately! LOL

6:10 am

lynxxx

Hi Carlee

6:10 am

Scarlet

Oh, even better, Monkey. Must find out more!

6:10 am

MonkeyGames

Most of the c words are actually pretty straightforward this time. Now I really am out of here for a bit.

6:10 am

carleekat

Ack! SPent a ridiculous amount of time looking for the po 7(crazy word), and it's a plural. I kept going right, instead of left. ***sigh***

6:14 am

Scarlet

It looks to be a challenge... but we wouldn't do it if it were "See Spot Run"... would we? Or would we? Hmmm

6:14 am

ch1212

Good morning -- how is 'folic' not a word? I take folic acid every day, and it's on the CDC's website as a word...

6:16 am

LoriP

Scarlet, since that word is so obvious, I don't think it's worthy of the penalty box....

6:16 am

LoriP

G'd morning ch

6:17 am

Happy Birthday to Inge the Second!

6:22 am

ch1212

My husband just pointed out the irony of Kepler using a solar calendar to determine the birthdate of the universe! :D

6:22 am

Inge2

thank you kindly. Thankfully, not as old as the universe, by a few billion years ;)

6:22 am

Scarlet

At least you are younger than that, Inge2!

6:22 am

Scarlet

Ah, carleekat... what was that?

6:23 am

carleekat

( I sang happy birthday in arabic )

6:23 am

Inge2

whoa.

6:23 am

Inge2

thank you :)

6:23 am

Scarlet

That is interesting with the numbers interspersed with the alphabetic characters!

6:24 am

carleekat

ur welcome

6:24 am

carleekat

ohhhhhhh...yea... hmmm in arabic there are extra letters...

6:25 am

carleekat

like...hummm...there 3 h's like sounds...each one with more phlegm like throat sounds...and the written character looks like a "7"

6:25 am

Inge2

carlee, you speak Arabic fluently?

6:25 am

Scarlet

Neat!

6:25 am

carleekat

not fluently....but I know enough to know a gist of conversation and be polite and answer simple questions...

6:25 am

carleekat

so..there a ha'a sound like our soft h

6:26 am

carleekat

there 7a'a sound with a bit of throat...and a 7'a'a which is LOADS of throat

6:27 am

carleekat

( and to typically follow the hollywood terrorist crap in movies like oh what was the one with arnold and jamie lee curtis)

6:27 am

Scrabbler

**choking while trying to make phlegmy throat sounds**

6:27 am

carleekat

anyway..there 2 a's sounds...but one is written like a backwards 3 so when a word is typed with english font people use the 3

6:28 am

Inge2

very interesting, carlee.

6:29 am

bookgrrl

true lies, carleekat

6:29 am

carleekat

( I had to learn some arabic for dance...cus at one one point I was contemplating using a particular song for choreography that turned out to be equivalent to dancing to a christian hymn )

6:29 am

carleekat

( HUGE mistake.. thanks bookgrrl )

6:29 am

Scarlet

That is a wonderful start to the day, carleekat... to learn language factoids. Oops on the choreographic almost-miscue!

6:30 am

carleekat

i had no idea the maddad ya rasoul allah meant the holy profet mohammed ( which is the 7a'a mo7ammed )

6:30 am

carleekat

when u hear the name mohammed its the 7'a

6:32 am

***because cursing on the chat is frowned upon***

6:37 am

carleekat

did I say something wrong?

6:37 am

Scrabbler

This grid is TOUGH! (Or is it just me?)

6:38 am

LoriP

carlee, it's sarcasm on my part. I'm cursing at the grid. LOL

6:38 am

carleekat

ok...( hard to hear sarcasm in chat )

6:38 am

LoriP

There are some toughies Scrabbler, IMO

6:38 am

Inge2

I think this is 3 days in a row that no5/14 has shown up in the grid.

6:38 am

carleekat

i'm still just scanning to see what I find without list

6:39 am

LoriP

Sorry carlee, it was in no way directed at you. I was trying to be a smart ass, and failed....

6:39 am

Scrabbler

***looking for no5**

6:39 am

carleekat

<hug> its ok

6:39 am

carleekat

OH DUH! You are just saving me from myself all over the place today! Thank you once again.

6:46 am

Morning peri. Too many C words this week.

6:46 am

Scarlet

Hi, peri. Yes, we're back on the "C"

6:46 am

ch1212

Hi Peri -- it's been raining here in Central Mass most of the night

6:46 am

carleekat

( we cursed them already peri )

6:46 am

carleekat

i didn't get the anagram clue for pe6

6:46 am

loredana

hi peri

6:47 am

Scarlet

That's okay, carleekat... peri can throw in some good ones, too!

6:47 am

carleekat

nevermind..monkeyed and got it

6:47 am

loredana

hello scrabbler

6:47 am

Inge2

there is a pe5 that builds on the pe4. Add an anagram of the normal adverb ending to held in.

6:47 am

Frances

pe6/27 sounds like a writing implement and a piece of slate on the roof

6:47 am

periwinkle

what can I throw in?

6:48 am

grannymaxx

hi peri - rainy in maryland too :(

6:48 am

Scarlet

Somem more muttering about being awash in the "C"s

6:48 am

carleekat

just greyness here.....

6:48 am

Inge2

scuse, my clue was also for the pe6. can't count

6:49 am

MonkeyGames

No worries.

6:50 am

Inge2

there are two other words that use the same pattern as the pe6 (starts with greek 5). no5 (starts with "9") and oc5 (starts with Greek "8")

6:51 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! HAve the 8 one but am drawing a blank on what the 9 should start with, since I thought it was the same as a term for not but that didn't take.

8:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i just used lickety's bulk load first time. wow!!

8:06 am

MonkeyGames

Great, isn't it? And you can put the same words in and it ignores them, so if you forget which ones ar enew, just paste in your whole word list again.

8:06 am

Sam

That was my idea, and Lickety's genius.

8:06 am

i am just NOT going to ask why ketchup is on the ceiling

8:50 am

shdybr8

Good, good....

8:50 am

Anniebrook

okay, I will ask---how did the ketchup get on the ceiling?

8:51 am

Scarlet

You know when you have two bottles of ketchup, the same size, and want to combine the contents of both? The smaller amount bottle gets turned upside down on the larger amount bottle and the vacuum pulls the contents into the one on the bottom. This has theoretically worked for years. Today, the pressure launched the top bottle to blazes and back, with a lovely, pop-art design!!

8:51 am

shdybr8

roflmao, didn't know that was possible!!!

8:52 am

I need a co5/12 and a co5/14. In the co5's I already DO have: the one like to encrypt but with the consonant on the end, the man's name, the NY island/rabbit. What two remain???

9:03 am

Spelling correct.

9:03 am

Aussieme

9:04 am

Haz1558

The p words look rather unlikely, I'll give you that.

9:05 am

Haz1558

co5/12 - like the French short story, but use a different vowel on the end.

9:05 am

Anniebrook

co 5/14 co+ writing instrument

9:05 am

Monkey, try the CO that means to put pigs with other farm animals together

9:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Aussie.

9:17 am

stidmama

okay, late last night the german shepherd had been lying down for a while and when he got up he was limping. actually trying to walk three-legged. A back foot or wrist seemed to be bothering him. BUT the time and manner of injury hadn't been noticed (and he ye**s) really loud usually, so we are assuming he twisted it and just keeping him quiet for today. If he were your dog would you have your husband x-ray the leg anyway?

9:18 am

stidmama

I guess on his back leg it would be an "ankle" ... too early. No tea or coffee yet.

9:18 am

prismmgc2

if my husband had access t o an x=ray machine, yes

9:19 am

stidmama

our problem is that he is terrified of the vet and needs intravenous sedation to be seen even for itchy ears...

9:19 am

Judi

Stid - doggie may have just had his leg go to sleep while laying down. If he's still limping or not putting weight on it by tonight, x-ray and/or vet visit is probably the right thing to do.

9:19 am

Haz1558

I would wait for at least a day to see if he begins to put weight on it again. If it doesn't look strange, and he isn't making too much fuss, it's probably not broken, so x-rays wouldn't be necessary. What age is the dog - could it be arthritis?

9:20 am

stidmama

thanks Haz -- he's only 3.5, so I don't think it would be arthritis. We'll take a watchful waiting approach today. He does seem less in pain this morning.

9:20 am

Judi

Does it cause him pain if you touch his leg, Stid?

9:21 am

Haz1558

If he's that young, then it probably isn't arthritis. He may just have sprained something and it will get better on its own. No point in annoying him further if the vet isn't his favourite person!

9:21 am

Scarlet

Stid, did you examine his pads? He may have stepped on something that lodged in the tender tissue.

9:21 am

stidmama

actually, he let us touch his leg last night, which was unusual. No, it didn't seem to exacerbatre it, though of course I didn't try pulling or twisting. :-)

9:22 am

Aussieme

clue for bottom middle n please.....

9:22 am

stidmama

Scarlet, that is a good thought. I'll check them as soon as the kids are off to school.

9:22 am

PO6-7 combo: Noth PO** + i (heart) ** (swapped around)
plural for the 7

9:26 am

Haz1558

po6/7 combo - structured as with Anne, one of the six wives of Henry VIII. Follow the barber's sign with Scottish one, vowel removed.

9:27 am

no6 - no, reverse the opposite of night, and add a vowel.

ARB

Erev tov -- it's 8 p.m. here, so good evening is apporpriate -- erev tov

11:58 am

stidmama

ooh! I found the sh5! I think it's also used in the US to mean sort of "slumming" around?

11:59 am

stidmama

todah, ARB, "erev tov" then! :-)

11:59 am

caitlyn

erev tov ARB

12:46 pm

stidmama

the last time we moved (to our permanent home) I didn't take time to put some things in the garbage, thinking I *might* have a use for them later. 7 years on, I am STILL finding them and tossing!

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

We have been brutal, but now we have moved on to the sweep-everything-visible-into-a-box and badly label it phase. Walter "helps" by unpacking one box to our three. A good friend from Iceland is going to come entertain him all day tomorrow.

the Po6 is the piece of armor that fit over the kneecap, it's a medieval norman word

12:47 pm

I only moved in october 2005 and dumped so much but when we moved i was unpacking wondering why on earth i needed this junk. gary's a terror for krrping things just in case

12:48 pm

that will be priceless, MonkeyGames -- and Walter will be happy to avoid being told "No" every three minutes!

12:48 pm

garyandjulie

happy hunting :o)

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, I see the value in not saying no that often; stay positive, right? That means staying one step ahead of him, and that means getting very little done. Yes, having a friend here to chase him all over will be a genuine life saver. Eric has three children, the youngest 15, and adores Walter. When he asked what he could do to pay my husband back for fixing his computer an dwe said this was just the thing, he said, "But that's FUN! Shouldn't I DO something?"

I moved so much as a child, and my mother threw out so many things that it was hard for me as an adult to get rid of stuff when we moved... so many things I really wanted went missing when I was a child! But now that we are here for the duration, it has been easier to let go.
