4:14 am

herinfernallady

I did i remembered, i wrote a list

4:14 am

Mom

oh, we use a pudding mix for that :)

4:15 am

mrpresident

I just use the good old 'golden wings' custard! fool proof LOL :)

4:15 am

herinfernallady

I am a worry, Mom as stated last night Jell-O is banned in aus

4:15 am

Mom

Why is that?

4:15 am

loredana

herin you should of got the readymade custard no lumps no burns still yummy though i use edmonds nz custard

4:16 am

loredana

hey herin fosters readymade custard

4:16 am

herinfernallady

No lumps in this one i used the tried and tested white cheese sauce method,

4:16 am

loredana

good girl but you must keep stirring over a low heat

4:17 am

herinfernallady

Mom Jell-O is baned as it could cause BSE but its not true as kraft explained this all to me

4:17 am

Shoelacelady

we have a NZ customs and immigration programme on cable at the min, its amazing and of course only proper what u can actually take in and take out

4:17 am

herinfernallady

Lore i wanted to make it from scratch

4:18 am

herinfernallady

Mom if you have an email addy i could send you the correct reponse from kraft and customs Aus. I think they banned jell o to be men

4:18 am

Mom

Herin, can you tell me what BSE is?

4:18 am

herinfernallady

sod mean to me

4:18 am

Shoelacelady

when we had our BSE scare in the uk years ago, our gelatin was made from beef and we stopped eating anything and everything as well

4:18 am

herinfernallady

Mad Cow Desease

4:18 am

loredana

okay so what went wrong let me guess you didnt keep stirring it until it thickened you went and babbled and now its stuck to the post and burnt and you flicked it on your arm and now you are burnt

4:19 am

loredana

now you see why you be a worry lol

4:19 am

Mom

ah! Jell-O? Don't guess it would be wise to send you some then. :)

4:19 am

herinfernallady

mo i ignored babble until it was in the bowl

4:19 am

mrpresident

wow, the Packer family is selling out of the media

4:19 am

herinfernallady

Yep i have a person on it from me

4:20 am

herinfernallady

4:20 am

Frances

mrp, thought the Packer family were the media. LOL.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres that is a worry about the media as we may loose aussie content on the tv

4:21 am

loredana

4:21 am

Mom

good deal, Herin

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Mom, The Gelitin in Jell-O is from cow hide and goes through a different process to normal gelitin. Canada Customs monitor the proccess for Kraft. If i thought that sending Jell-o here was bad and detromental i wouldnt do it but it seems petty to me

4:23 am

mrpresident

I am at a loss as to what the first 4 tr's are!

4:24 am

herinfernallady

Lore, custard is sneaky, it hits the 'arrrr crap i have fudged it and its stuck 'to all of a suden bubble bubble owwweee it got me and then its done. I put rum in it too

4:46 am

Haz1558

Frances, just a suggestion from a computer numbskull - if you still have lickety's directions for Expert Browser, could you delete and reinstall?

4:47 am

Frances

Tried that Haz. Doesn't matter which way I try it just won't let me in.

4:47 am

mrpresident

Ogdens Nut

Hi to everyone in the Babble community incl. Haz who said hello yesterday; I have just joined a few days ago....

5:15 am

Frances

Hi Zen. Welcome

5:15 am

herinfernallady

hi zen and welcom

5:16 am

herinfernallady

brrb peoples are hungry

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good for you Zenmed - another recruit!

5:16 am

Shoelacelady

Hi Z,

5:16 am

Haz1558

Not just that, from my home town..... spooky.

5:17 am

Haz1558

I should qualify that by saying that I've been living here for 25 years, so am still regarded as a new kid in town.

5:18 am

Ogdens Nut

Thanks herin,Fran,Shoe & Haz

5:18 am

Haz1558

There's another babbler, Candy, from Broughshane. There must be something in the air.

5:19 am

Ogdens Nut

Yeah Haz, I nearly fell of my chair when I saw you are in the 'mena

5:20 am

Haz1558

It's a small world.

5:20 am

Haz1558

How did you get to hear about babble?

5:21 am

Ogdens Nut

Saw an ad in Computer Active mag Haz, love the game...

5:22 am

Shoelacelady

Snap, same here Zen lol been here since sunday I think, tho not literally

5:22 am

Haz1558

It's great fun and very addictive, but you've found that out already! I've been playing for quite a while, and although you do get to know some of the stranger words, there are always more to learn.

5:24 am

Haz1558

The ad in the Computer mag seems to have brought a respectable trickle of interested parties. There was an occasion a good while back when the site was posted on a website and we were flooded with new people all asking the same questions over and over. How does this work? What do you do? What do the numbers mean? It was known as Black Thursday in babble circles....

5:25 am

MiaG

saw that ad too zenmed

5:26 am

Ogdens Nut

Yes, it is very addictive &fun; only problem is nothing else gets done in my house anymore!

5:26 am

Haz1558

I know - nothing else seems quite as important as finding the next word.

5:27 am

Ogdens Nut

You too!

5:27 am

Merk

Good morning! No Lickety today?

5:27 am

Shoelacelady

mornin merk

5:28 am

Haz1558

You will learn to pace yourself, though. And feel free to make use of all the helps available with online dictionaries etc - or not if you like to torture yourself.

5:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning merk - Lickety is working for some and not for others.

5:28 am

lynxxx

Hi Merk

5:31 am

Ogdens Nut

Thanks Haz, I try to do as much as I can without recourse to aids, it's like doing a crossword with a thesauras open in front of one

5:33 am

Haz1558

Everyone has their own method of working. I like to get as far as I can without lists etc, but am too impatient to sit all day trying out combinations, so I then get the list and hit morewords.com to fill in the blanks. Others like to ask for clues along the way and if there are relevant ones I'll pick them up. But the joy is finding the words!

5:34 am

Ogdens Nut

What is "the list", Haz?

5:34 am

herinfernallady

hi merk and haz

5:36 am

Haz1558

There are two varieties, each posted separately by two babblers. Brandyjack's list (BJ) posts his in BabAnon. It's basically a list of second letters and points values for all the words. The other list is done by Lickety, you can access his list through the link at the bottom of the page, under Friends of Babble. Try them out for size!

5:36 am

Shoelacelady

earlier on when joking with Pen, I didn't really mean it about nicking the clues, just so u no. lol

5:36 am

Haz1558

We don't nick clues, we just borrow them....

5:37 am

Haz1558

And also check out Angelsong's Resource page, also linked under Friends of Babble, bottom left of page. She has all sorts of information there.

5:39 am

Ogdens Nut

thanks haz, all that's very helpful; appreciate it

5:40 am

Haz1558

No problem. Just in case you thought we were all geniuses or something, we do need help (well, some of us)

5:42 am

Haz1558

You're also at an advantage in that lots of Scots words are accepted, like oxter and targe and scunner. The rest are pretty disbelieving.

5:42 am

Ogdens Nut

I was thinking you were all genii, so now I know....

5:43 am

grannymaxx

and why doesn snirt work!! morning everyone

5:44 am

TheLegend

morning granny

5:44 am

Haz1558

Genii has appeared in the grid before, store it up against the day when it appears again. There are some in the chat log, but not as many as you thought!

5:44 am

lynxxx

Hi GrannyM

5:44 am

Haz1558

Good morning grannymaxx - and TheLegend.

5:45 am

grannymaxx

oh this is a biggieone..so glad the cluers are here :)

5:46 am

Haz1558

It's big but you'll have a ball grannymaxx, lots of normal words in there.

5:46 am

grannymaxx

normal haz? never!

5:47 am

Haz1558

There are oddities as well, but sure, it's all educational.

5:47 am

grannymaxx

got down to 3 left last nite & system went kaflooie!! but did manage to come back & find them thank goodness

5:48 am

Haz1558

Your heart must have been in your mouth until you got back!

5:49 am

mrpresident

hi granny :)

5:49 am

grannymaxx

it was but all turned out well :)

5:49 am

Ogdens Nut

Don't know targe, Haz - what about "fadge" though, the quintessential Ballymena word; has it ever come up? Love to see that one....

5:50 am

MiaG

hmm, no redoing exams in there

5:50 am

grannymaxx

hi mrp how are you today?

5:51 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure about fadge, but we have had farls and wheaten - they also accept gaen, haet etc, so watch out for the double vowels. We would use targe to talk about a cross hen-pecking woman although the dictionary definitions claims drink involvement!

5:52 am

Haz1558

Mia - neither resit nor resat. It annoys us greatly but US people seem to retake exams.

5:53 am

lynxxx

We'd call that a riot! It's a new one on me, lynxx.

5:56 am

MiaG

playing an online game of scrabble - did the legal word nerine - it isn't allowed here either

5:56 am

MiaG

legal scrabble word - nerine - a flower thing - pink?

5:57 am

Haz1558

Yes, a nice pink flowering bulb, it's not allowed here, but narine is. Another annoyance.

5:57 am

Shoelacelady

going off for a while be back on again in a while

5:57 am

Haz1558

The dictionary used causes all sorts of debates, but you just have to accept its rulings.

5:57 am

Haz1558

Bye Shoelace

8:33 am

Scarlet

Haz, those nine-letter words continue to elude me... I am putting in the normal word for coldest season, but I am hitting the wall. Is there a bit more of a clue for me, please?

8:33 am

ypsigirl

8:34 am

herinfernallady

I have no idea kc i am working on them myself

8:34 am

Haz1558

There are three tw7 words. Have you got the garment that goes with pearls?

8:34 am

NonoNanette

you are missing a tw7 kc

8:34 am

Scarlet

Later, ypsigirl!

8:34 am

Haz1558

Scarlet - The cold season loses its last vowel when it is made into a superlative adjective (according to this one)

8:35 am

Strider

garment?

8:35 am

kc8501

lol haz, yes, I do, that one and the one that's the most of the tw4's

8:35 am

Haz1558

It's not so much one garment as two items that go together.

8:35 am

Scarlet

Okay, thank you Haz. I shall dig and delve...

8:36 am

kc8501

two sweater type garments

8:36 am

herinfernallady

thanks for that

8:36 am

Haz1558

There is a plural of tw6/30, the comparative, and the ladies garment for the tw7 words.

8:36 am

Scarlet

Yes! Thank you, Haz. Found it.

8:36 am

Strider

8:43 am

Takuma Sato

Ouch! The heat is tropical there already, Takuma!

8:44 am

ursh

That's a long time in a car

8:45 am

Takuma Sato

I'm used to the trip, by now. Makes the drive up to Montreal (10 hours from MD) seem short ;)

8:45 am

EspritdJean

yes, my niece just drove from tampa to meet me in charleston SC and it was nearly 8 hours

8:46 am

Takuma Sato

Scarlet

I must go capture the slightly overcast skies to do some more digging. Best of luck, Babblers... I shall return to find my last 200 words throughout the day... it's a great (the greatest) "resting" spot in the world! Be safe on your journey, Takuma Sato... (with no expletives!) :-)

9:03 am

kc8501

the only te's i have that match are the ones related to the game played wit raquets on a court.

9:03 am

sandr

got them kc but thanx anyway

9:04 am

CadFan

plus the set that is a slang reference to an american currency

9:04 am

Haz1558

te6/18 - the first one is a bank note, it can be pluralled or make into a plural to rhyme with the abbreviated form of Penelope.

9:05 am

sandr

thanx haz what about the 2nd te 7/28

9:06 am

Haz1558

The second is the one that rhymes with the coins of which 100 makes a £.

9:07 am

Haz1558

The last one te7/28 puts a consonant on the end of the game, to make it look like one who plays?

9:07 am

CadFan

the 2nd is plural of a type of shoes

9:07 am

sandr

thanx haz thats wa a big help i'll carry on now

9:07 am

Haz1558

Glad to help.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

I am back from the vet--Bunny Callie probably has a spinal cord problem--losing muscle mass in pelvis and back legs. The vet will do some tests, then call me. :(

9:08 am

Haz1558

That doesn't sound good, Scrabbler.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

She is almost 7, so probably has a disc problem or spinal stenosis or tumor. But she has been happy, eating, and still hopping around!

9:09 am

Takuma Sato

sorry to hear it, sc

9:10 am

Haz1558

I hope they can sort something out.

9:10 am

Takuma Sato

er, odd timing -- didn't mean that I'm sorry she's happy etc.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I will keep her happy and comfortable, and when she is neither of those I will not let her suffer. I have not lost a bunny in 6 yrs, so this is hard.

9:11 am

Haz1558

You have the right attitude, Scrabbler - her welfare is paramount.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I have seen enough suffering and death in my career to remain reasonable with my pets.

9:11 am

Lizsark

can anyone help me with the j words (except the 4-letter joke one!) TY

9:12 am

Haz1558

I know, but it's still difficult.

9:12 am

Takuma Sato

there's a plural of a girl's name

9:12 am

kc8501

yeah I refuse to let my animals suffer, almost killed me, the neighbors were so attached to their dog, he was blind, deaf, incontinent, toothless etc and they still wouldn't put him down

9:12 am

Haz1558

Lizsark - one is a plural of a spinning woman's name.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

If anyone sees Jacula on here today tell her to please e-mail me---I will not log off, so she can click on my profile for my e-mail address. TY

9:12 am

Lizsark

oo brill thanx Haz

9:12 am

kc8501

I think it was my son's refusal to take care of him one day that did it, he was crying and said, I can't, he's miserable.

9:13 am

Haz1558

je6/33 - rhymes with what makes cheese set, or the family name of Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. Plural for je7

9:13 am

Lizsark

thats all of the j's - wonderful you star Haz TY

9:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Lizsark.

9:14 am

Lizsark

:-)

9:14 am

Scrabbler

What is the other je7?

9:14 am

Takuma Sato

thanks, haz -- I didn't have those last two, either

9:14 am

NonoNanette

Thanks Haz it was the pl. i didnt have

9:15 am

Haz1558

The two je7 are plurals, one for je6/33 the other for the spinning woman (rhymes with English coins)

9:15 am

EvaNadine

american coins too. :)

9:16 am

Haz1558

Ah, so you still retain some memories of the mother country?!

9:16 am

Scrabbler

I didn't get the English coin clue earlier----ah, maybe now I have it.....

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Got it now!

9:16 am

Lizsark

Is it just me or is this a hard grid today???

9:16 am

Haz1558

That's good.

9:16 am

Aloyisius

Happy First of June, everyone! Scrabbler, I'm so sorry to read about your bunny.. hopefully the vet will have some encouraging news

9:16 am

EvaNadine

i think when most americans hear about british coins, they think "pence"

9:16 am

Lizsark

sint

9:17 am

Lizsark

sorry

9:17 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy.

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I kept thinking pence

9:17 am

Lizsark

wretched monkeys!!

9:17 am

Scrabbler

TY, Aloy---I trust my vet and we will do what is right for Callie

9:17 am

NonoNanette

morning Aloy

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Aren't they naughty sometimes, Miz, but we must tolerate them because they do find words for us

9:18 am

Lizsark

LOL

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Is the first na8 related to the 2nd which I do have?

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I mean Liz, sorry

9:18 am

Lizsark

Scrabbler

Aha, indeed I did---buggers.

9:23 am

movieman

And you used a word Judi - te6/18

9:23 am

Judi

Eek! I am the pot who called the kettle black. For shame.

9:23 am

11:26 am

FMitch

Ooh lovely, forecast is good for tomorrow too.

11:26 am

Haz1558

tr8/40 use the first four letters of the preceding tr8/18, but add game *** match, backwards.

11:27 am

Haz1558

I think we have showers forecast, but then it is summer...

11:28 am

rolin

11:29 am

pigeonman

Thank again.

11:29 am

FMitch

11:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, pigeonman.

11:30 am

Haz1558

You're right, rolin. Are you counting down the days?

11:30 am

Jacula

Ata - Sorry, I was called away. Thanks for the info.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

hello! a def for the tr8/40 please? can't follow clue, not sure if i have the word before it. i have tr 10

11:30 am

caps

an9/60 please

11:31 am

pigeonman

ts7?

11:31 am

Haz1558

It gives a Roman copper coin for the tr8/40.

11:31 am

Haz1558

It comes quite a bit back from tr10 - more in the three prefix area.

11:31 am

ren8

granny I am not getting the 2nd te7...the shoes clue

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

ARRRRRRRRRGH!

11:32 am

caps

an9/60 any ideas please

11:32 am

rolin

oh yes haz...i have 20 school getting ups to go

11:32 am

Haz1558

ts7 - ts, a double helping of a vowel, then the beginning of a dish made with arborio rice.

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry...frustration

11:32 am

pigeonman

The ts words are in hiding. All I can find is the ts6,18. Clues on the other two?

11:33 am

Haz1558

an9/60 - the against prefix, then a word meaning hope or confidence or faith (an anagram of the swaggering st5)

11:33 am

pigeonman

Where do you come up with these words Haz?

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

there's a ts6 too?!

11:34 am

Haz1558

If you take the ts6/18 and have a double dose of the vowel, you get ts7/28. If you then change the vowel for another (single dose) you get ts6/21

11:34 am

Haz1558

pigeonman - I use morewords.com for the outlandish ones.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

have never seen the second, are they the same meaning - i am assuming hebrew woe?

11:35 am

pigeonman

17 to go. I need a break. Thanks for the help.

11:35 am

Haz1558

ts6/21 - t plus Tom and Katy Cruise's daughter, plural.

11:35 am

Haz1558

ts6/18 - same structure but an earlier occuring vowel.

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

ty now on to that elusive tr

11:36 am

ren8

is anyone able to help me the 2nd te7/28 please

11:36 am

Haz1558

Same meaning given for both, TO.

11:36 am

Anne38

thank you for that clue haz that was just what i needed ta xxxxxxxxxxxx

11:37 am

Haz1558

The second te7/28 is the same structure as numerous English coins, or plural shortened Penelopes.

11:37 am

Jacula

I was really tempted to use na8/45 as my Friday icon clue but I thought nudity on the chatlog might noy be the thing.;-)

howdy Babblers.. back to tackle the grid and happily report that rain, glorious rain, is falling on the parched and wild fire scorched, smokey environs.. yay

12:42 pm

Judi

Strider - it's a plural of a girl's name, if that helps.

12:43 pm

EspritdJean

the ni7 is a girl's name?

12:43 pm

Judi

Rhyms with the copper coins in your pocket.

12:43 pm

Judi

No. I'm an idiot. The je7 is a girl's name. The Ni7 I do not have (because I'm an idiot).

12:44 pm

Strider

Good, cause I was confused.

12:44 pm

EspritdJean

ah ok. You are probably not a REAL idiot, because they all work HERE

12:44 pm

EspritdJean

someone said ni6+0, which I did not understand either

12:44 pm

Judi

I plead temporary idiocy, then.

12:44 pm

12:45 pm

Judi

Ni6: sweat from TNT + O.

12:45 pm

autumn moon

the ni5/10, 6/18 and 7/28 build off each other.

12:45 pm

Strider

My two ni 6's are also plurals

12:45 pm

autumn moon

ni5 is the short form for medication for heart condition

12:46 pm

Strider

Well, okay then. I did get the ni 7, finally. Talk about being idiotic!!!

12:46 pm

EspritdJean

the ni5 and 6 that I have rhyme with the ti5 & 6

12:46 pm

1:08 pm

Aloyisius

1:09 pm

amelu0218

I'm on the MS Gulf Coast and we've had 'hazy' days because of the fires to the east... I can only imagine how bad it is over there.

1:09 pm

Scarlet

That is very serious, Aloy. Where, up North, are you heading?

1:09 pm

Aloyisius

Northeast Ohio..

1:10 pm

BabbleRabble

No need to hang your head, amelu. This is supposed to be fun. Hold your head high and enjoy.

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

BabbleRabble

I have abandoned the experiments as hazardous to my well being

1:13 pm

Aloyisius

how long does it take you to drive to their home, Scarlet?

1:13 pm

Scarlet

You are the only one who knows what is happening to you, then, BR-r. How do you feel now, though?

1:13 pm

Scarlet

From Asheville, Aloy, it would take about eight to ten hours.

1:15 pm

BabbleRabble

Undoubtedly, getting off the medications was sound. The side effects were quite bad.

1:16 pm

Scarlet

I am sorry to hear that, BR-r... sometimes the medications exacerbate the very condition they were supposed to help...

1:17 pm

BabbleRabble

I tried it; didn't work; recover; move on.

1:18 pm

Scarlet

Exactly my philosophy in just about everything! :-)
