1:20 am

FranMag

oh duh, you said her. :-)

1:20 am

jillibus

I hate the pressure of a time limit, which is why I love babble

1:20 am

bananafour

this just seems larger for some reason

1:21 am

rururocks

2 minutes is not that long of time

1:21 am

dart001

new glasses? lol

1:21 am

bananafour

and you could rotate the grid to see it from all sides, that was a nice feature

1:21 am

bananafour

lol, i need new glasses, can't see anything

1:21 am

FranMag

what happened, did tangleword go kaput?

1:21 am

rururocks

what happened to it?

1:22 am

jillibus

flosey played tangleword? I didn't think so -- bridge and babble as far as I know

1:22 am

bananafour

iwin.com just cancelled it and all of their other classic games

1:22 am

FranMag

ha ha dart! (nana did say you were a brat) :-)

1:22 am

bananafour

might be a different flosey

1:22 am

rururocks

that happened to me with atari and boggle too

1:22 am

dart001

2 minutes...same as this....1 pt for a 4 letter word...2 pts for a 5 letter word etc....1 bonus pt if you get the word before anyone else does.....about a minute break between games...then another 2 minute games.....20 per hour or so....it was fun...taught you to look fast lol

1:22 am

bananafour

lol fran

1:22 am

FranMag

brb

1:22 am

MVA

1:24 am

flosey

goodnight all

1:24 am

dart001

you would get a ranking...that would go up or down....depending on how you scored...and how everyone else playing that particular games scored....you could also chat to someone in a private window....or public to all like this chat here

1:24 am

jillibus

lynxxx

Hi DC! have you been away again?

1:57 am

FranMag

hi again dc!

1:57 am

dcseain

i was away last weekend, then a bit erratic this week.

2:07 am

FranMag

darn, i guess gortex is a brand name

2:08 am

Atalante

and gorhen is a phantom

2:08 am

lynxxx

Hi Ata!

2:09 am

FranMag

darn, i miss the bloody chicken!

2:09 am

dcseain

okay. just enrolled in my 1st uni class in 16 years.

2:09 am

FranMag

congratulations dc!

2:09 am

dcseain

yes, gortex is a brand name - i tried it too.

2:10 am

rolin

whatcha gonna study dc?

2:10 am

dcseain

5 credits of arabic, meeting MW 15:30 to 17:50.

2:12 am

lynxxx

are you ever going to use all the languages you have to earn a living DC? you seem to have so many

2:13 am

dcseain

i wonder when we'll find out what books we need. 435.50 is the cost. When list a was enrolled 5 credits would have cost 100.00. academic costs have gone up ridiculously through the years.

2:14 am

dcseain

i actually use more than a few of them in my job, and have learned some Dutch and Swedish and Icelandic because of my jobs. I've used Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Chinese, French and German fairly regularly.

2:14 am

atbash

"iterator" is not in the dictionary?!?

2:14 am

lynxxx

phantom: trattoria

2:15 am

dcseain

atbash, you will come to grok and love the quirks of Enable. :)

2:15 am

FranMag

lynxxx, that was the first word i tried

2:16 am

rolin

atbash..but you can find the 9 using the same words

2:16 am

rolin

letters

2:17 am

lynxxx

thanks for the hint Rolin

2:17 am

atbash

rolin, yeah, already got those 54 points :)

2:17 am

Atalante

me too

2:17 am

FranMag

thanks rolin, that was my last 9. :-)

2:18 am

rolin

np fran...its my only one so far

2:18 am

FranMag

let me know if you want stats for the other 2

2:18 am

dcseain

i was about to say that, fran :)

2:19 am

FranMag

:-)

2:20 am

FranMag

i would have just said what they were, but i didn't want lynxxx to yell at me. :-D

2:20 am

dcseain

if any of you play bridge, you may find this of interest: http://tinyurl.com/yu5emd

2:20 am

FranMag

hang on to that for jilli dc, she went to bed already.

2:21 am

FranMag

(and I know you really wouldn't lynxxx) :-)

2:21 am

dcseain

right. catch her tomorrow

2:21 am

lynxxx

OK OK so I shouldn't have said anything about that list!

2:22 am

FranMag

ROFL, i just thought that whole thing was funny, i didn't for one minute think you were really mad.

2:22 am

bbnaz

hello everybody. 97 to go.

2:22 am

FranMag

hi bb!

2:22 am

lynxxx

Hi bbnaz!

2:22 am

dcseain

hello, bb!

2:22 am

bbnaz

i have yet to come across any 9s

2:23 am

bbnaz

how about any of you?

2:23 am

lynxxx

just one here

2:23 am

KnightTime

any clues for the sy?

2:23 am

FranMag

if you scroll down a bit, rolin gave a good hint for one

2:23 am

KnightTime

last word for me

2:24 am

FranMag

KT, computer lingo

2:24 am

lynxxx

Hi Knight!

2:24 am

FranMag

the sy*tem **erator

2:24 am

dcseain

the sy is not a word in my brain, but an acronym, thoug i remembered to enter it today.

2:24 am

KnightTime

oh no, say it aint so

2:24 am

FranMag

i always thought it was an acronym too

2:25 am

lynxxx

TY Fran

2:25 am

KnightTime

i actually had that job back 25 years ago

2:25 am

dcseain

i'm willing to say it is so

2:25 am

FranMag

yw lynxxx!

2:25 am

FranMag

KT, i think you said that the last time it was in the grid, some words just get blocked out. :-)

2:25 am

lynxxx

and congrats Knight!

2:25 am

bbnaz

yes rolin that was an excellent clue

2:26 am

bbnaz

so now i have one 9

2:26 am

KnightTime

wow, true

2:26 am

KnightTime

to me it is not a word, but an acronym

2:26 am

FranMag

yep, but i'll remember it if enable thinks it's a word. :-)

2:27 am

FranMag

bb, do you want stats for the other two 9s?

2:27 am

dcseain

i'm w/fran on that one.

2:29 am

FranMag

oh yeah, yay KT!!!

2:30 am

dcseain

congrats, knight!

2:30 am

dcseain

got so lost on the silliness of the word, forgot your victory :)

2:30 am

dcseain

that or8 is weird

2:31 am

bbnaz

not yet but thanks Fran. I am lost within the hunt for words still.......

2:31 am

FranMag

cool bb

2:31 am

FranMag

i don't have that one yet dc, looking now

2:32 am

bbnaz

2:33 am

FranMag

2:34 am

dcseain

yay bb

2:34 am

FranMag

2:35 am

FranMag

woo hoo! found the ar8

2:35 am

Atalante

40

2:36 am

FranMag

thanks ata, just found it!

2:37 am

FranMag

and the male version is a phantom. :-)

2:37 am

Atalante

very strange word!

2:38 am

FranMag

it doesn't quite roll off the tongue, no wonder we don't use it

2:40 am

lynxxx

found another 9 similar to a word yesterday

2:41 am

FranMag

yay lynxxx!

2:42 am

dcseain

well done, lynxxx

2:43 am

Atalante

99 left. back later!

2:44 am

FranMag

bye ata!

2:44 am

lynxxx

bye Ata

2:46 am

bbnaz

re7.36 anyone yet?

2:46 am

FranMag

bb, shave some cheese off the block again

2:47 am

bbnaz

tyvm fran! finished those pesky re words

2:47 am

FranMag

wow! wtg bb

2:50 am

Atalante

and your turn, fran :P *really goes*

2:51 am

FranMag

hee, bye ata!

2:52 am

FranMag

ha! that brat plays a bingo and then runs. :-)

2:52 am

Atalante

*the echo of mad giggles fades*

2:53 am

FranMag

LOL

2:53 am

Atalante

I left you a nice triple though :P *really REALLY goes*

2:53 am

FranMag

and don't think i'm not taking advantage of it. :-)

2:54 am

dcseain

those 1st re words are largely odd

2:55 am

FranMag

like the ones who raise things?

2:55 am

FranMag

babies in particular

2:57 am

dcseain

ah, verb, not noun. Okay. not so odd then. :)

2:58 am

FranMag

:-)

2:58 am

FranMag

i do that with the word deash, i always think it rhymes with leash

2:59 am

dcseain

deash parses right in my head for some reason. It annoys me that retar is not accepted. we retar roofs here all the time, at least in the city.

3:00 am

FranMag

and of course i try it every time, like today again. :-)

3:01 am

dcseain

me too :)

3:01 am

dcseain

for hope springs eternal, at least for optimistic me

3:01 am

dcseain

retare is anther one. One retares a scale.

3:01 am

FranMag

you never know when dr_g is going to update the dictionary...someday it might work

3:02 am

dcseain

true. otoh, for what we pay, i've not really any complaints

3:02 am

FranMag

and why wouldn't the one who does it be a word?

3:03 am

dcseain

retarrer, retarer. hm. who knows

3:06 am

dcseain

that ro8 isn't part of the vocab here - we call them circles

3:07 am

FranMag

hmm, don't have that one yet, looking

3:07 am

FranMag

got it!

3:07 am

FranMag

we had one in Guam

3:08 am

dcseain

one?

3:08 am

FranMag

yes, one! :-)

3:08 am

dcseain

*blinks bewilderedly*

3:08 am

FranMag

it has the archbishop flores' statue in the middle

3:08 am

dcseain

we're litteed with them here. they baffle the tourists who try to drive in the city.

3:09 am

dcseain

was he one of the early spaniard's there?

3:09 am

FranMag

if you think about it, Guam's roadways were relatively new, especially compared to DC

3:09 am

dcseain

i giggled the when i learned the language is called Chamorro.

3:09 am

FranMag

no, he was the first Chamorro Archbishop, he died in the 90s

3:10 am

FranMag

when the roads were built, streetlights for intersections were already in use

3:10 am

FranMag

why did you giggle dc?

3:10 am

cool girl

morning all how are u

3:10 am

dcseain

that word means 'shorn' in Spanish.

3:10 am

FranMag

hi cool!

3:10 am

dcseain

morning, cool. I'm well, and you?

3:11 am

FranMag

oh! well, that is funny!

3:11 am

dcseain

made me wonder if it were a coincidence, or a spanish discriptor naturalized.

3:11 am

FranMag

it's also the name of the people, they were probably named by the spanish.

3:11 am

lynxxx

Hi Cool - no flag etc yet?

3:12 am

dcseain

my tartan and ur purple are comlpementary.

3:12 am

FranMag

Magellan was the first European to arrive on Guam

3:12 am

FranMag

that's right! no wonder cool didn't ask for the stats, she has them!

3:13 am

dcseain

oh, right, i'd forgotten about that.

3:14 am

FranMag

i haven't found a word that inspires me to get a clue icon yet.

3:14 am

cool girl

very well i seem to be on a winning streak at the moment i entered a comp to win an i pod system a couple of months ago and won and then i entered another one to win family tickets to a show and won that in forty years ive never been lucky and now 2 at once

3:14 am

FranMag

awesome cool, time to buy a lottery ticket perhaps?

3:14 am

lynxxx

quick quick - buy a lottery ticket - ggod luck supposed to run in 3s

3:15 am

dcseain

i third that!

3:15 am

rolin

fran...could i have the re\=cheese clue again pls

3:15 am

FranMag

lynxxx, i was about to mention the 3 thing!!

3:15 am

cool girl

they say it happens in threes how do i get a picture on my name

3:16 am

FranMag

rolin, shave cheese off a block or take the zest off a lemon again

3:16 am

dcseain

go to my account, and add it, either from a URL or upload

3:16 am

dcseain

there's a word other than zest for that?

3:16 am

FranMag

well, it's what you do to get the zest

3:16 am

dcseain

yes, you zest the fruit.

3:17 am

lynxxx

or what you do to potatoes to make latkes

3:17 am

dcseain

oh, the tool

3:17 am

FranMag

good one lynxxx

3:17 am

rolin

oooohh...thamnks for the latkes...most timely really..lol

3:17 am

dcseain

shred is the verb for that, lynxxx :)

3:18 am

dcseain

but, again, same tool. :)

3:18 am

FranMag

my clue was for the re7/36 and "plural" for the re8

3:19 am

dcseain

yes, found them, thank you

3:19 am

FranMag

i want to try making latkes, but i've never tried them and wouldn't know if they came out right. :-)

3:19 am

rolin

ok..i have to take a break.. im gonna go into work for 3 hours today...just cos i have to...

3:20 am

FranMag

okay rolin! see you later!

3:20 am

lynxxx

3:20 am

rolin

fran..the trick if fine grating...squeeze the water out really well...make sure you use fine matza meal for binding not flour or breadcrumbs..and your oil has to be really hot

3:20 am

FranMag

3:20 am

dcseain

3:20 am

FranMag

3:20 am

FranMag

3:21 am

dcseain

as i was raised, you need starchy potatoes - equal part those and onions gr5ed together, sometimes some parsley added, pat together and fry. We never use binders.

3:21 am

dcseain

hot oil very important

3:21 am

cool girl

Marmar

"I bite my thumb at you" Shakespear quote

5:15 am

mrpresident

herinfernallady

5:23 am

dcseain

we didn't have one last year. Just two weeks of snow/ice in mid-Feb. This year, many of us expect more. We'll see.

5:23 am

MaltMaster

rather snow than floods fires and hurricanes

5:24 am

Marmar

MrP, I was gone for a minute missed, don't misunderstand, you were saying "hurt me", "shoot me", I thought you were being too hard on yourself....and I always compare the "bite my thumb" (like my high school English teacher told us) as sticking out your tongue at someone. A gentler alternative to your comments. Didn't want to offend you. Sorry.

5:24 am

P.J.

At first it is pretty after that it sucks!

5:24 am

carleekat

i want to move to egypt....dry adn sunny...10 months of year with glorious heat..and 2 months of temperate sunny mid 60's - 70's

passes over. The birds all come out and fly around, then dissappear again about 15 min before the rain starts again.

5:27 am

mrpresident

you are of course right! I am being hard on myself and carrying on about my pain. I really don't want to take it out on you guys! I love you and am sorry

5:27 am

BabbleRabble

8:14 am

8:21 am

Anniebrook

ah, harp, good icon clue

8:22 am

harpjane

you don't think it's too obvious?

8:22 am

Anniebrook

LOL

8:23 am

flosey

we live on small island, on 12 acres so don't see neighbours, when the power fails (due to very high winds or storm), there is the most beautiful eerie silence

8:24 am

Anniebrook

flosey, sounds like a good Hitchcock movie...I am so used to city noises but I love the quiet of the countryside

8:25 am

flosey

it's really beautiful, especially in a snowstorm

8:25 am

flosey

but we do have 2 fireplaces for heat and can cook on the one downstairs

8:25 am

Anniebrook

I can imagine it so....I live on the 23rd floor and when the snow covers everything it is beatiful too

8:26 am

Anniebrook

*beautiful

8:26 am

flosey

plus have a generator if power is off for very long - have 3 freezers full of food

8:27 am

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

8:28 am

Anniebrook

Oh noooo, Owl

72 Temple Owl

8:29 am

Anniebrook

My daughter lives in Connecticut on an acre of land and that is idyllic so you see I am a city person

8:29 am

flosey

well Annie, I still love to visit the city - have 2 sons in Toronto area and 2 daughters in Vancouver

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

of course, thus place is comfortable and safe but to me it's neither fish nor fowl....

8:30 am

Anniebrook

Flosey, I remember your recent trips...How is your brother?

8:30 am

flosey

9:30 am

Haz1558

Well done!

9:30 am

EvaNadine

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

9:31 am

BabbleRabble

like a military advance in the opposite direction

9:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, there are a few hardnuts around at the minute. Those babblers.....

9:31 am

EvaNadine

9:31 am

Haz1558

The other 9 is to 9 - one who is unsteady on their feet.

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

evN, they'lll come...mostly plurals and "one who"

9:32 am

DJC 007

Thanks Babble Rabble I got that one.

9:32 am

Haz1558

Sorry, that's the singular, the to9 are those unsteady.

9:32 am

Judi

Ah, 9's complete. Ty for the clues.

9:33 am

Aloyisius

9:35 am

Aloyisius

9:35 am

flosey

but now that someone has mentioned blueberry muffins, think I'll take time out to make some

9:36 am

Wyrd

tis the season to be cooking!

9:36 am

Wyrd

im thinking fruit cake drenched in booze

9:38 am

Judi

BLAAAAAHG. Fruitcake! Someone call the authorities!

9:39 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, love it or hate it.. no in between

9:39 am

Wyrd

not icky fruitcake, stuff with REAL dried fruit, apricots, cherries..tons of nuts

9:39 am

raelite

I see you all are talking doorstops today ;)

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

hi rae!

9:39 am

Wyrd

its a food AND a weapon

9:39 am

Haz1558

Hello raelite!

9:39 am

raelite

hello hello

9:39 am

Judi

Well, I suppose real fruit is better than that weird green and red stuff that tastes like varnish.

9:40 am

Aloyisius

hi raelite!

9:40 am

Haz1558

What sort of fruit cake do you people make over there?

9:40 am

Judi

I think all fruitcakes should be shipped to third world countries, so they can use them as bricks to make houses.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a fresh fruit cake recipe - have not tried it but sound good

9:40 am

boo57

Fireworks!

9:41 am

Wyrd

good going boo!

9:41 am

Haz1558

Congratulations boo.

9:41 am

Aloyisius

lol, Judi.... yay boo! congrats!!!

9:42 am

pabtrek

congrats boo

9:42 am

raelite

the m words are giving me a hard time - I think I'll throw a fruitcake at them

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

wtg boo!

9:43 am

Wyrd

ok ok ok, I shall talk about divinity instead you cry babies

9:44 am

Wyrd

of course, divinity would make great spackle for fruitcake houses

9:44 am

raelite

people in glass house shouldn't throw fruitcakes?

9:45 am

boo57

Anybody need any clues before I shove off?

9:45 am

Aloyisius

much sturdier than a gingerbread house...

9:45 am

Judi

Divinity would be devine. Mustn't mix it with fruitcake though. That would be a waste of the divinity. Perhaps some of those yummy meringue cookies instead?

9:45 am

boo57

Just don't drop them on your foot, you could break a toe or two

9:46 am

Wyrd

but they are so versatile, you have both food and furniture in the same cubicle

9:46 am

Atalante

meringue cookies????!

9:46 am

boo57

Haz, fruitcake over here is the proverbial white elephant gift. They get passed around so much that they are generally rock hard and something that Hagrid would make.

9:46 am

Judi

Welcome to FHA ... Fruitcake Haters of America.

9:47 am

raelite

you know what's really good: pavlova.

9:47 am

boo57

I thought she was a dancer.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

no dates to be found on wrappers.. forbidden

9:47 am

Judi

Oh, yes, rae! Talk about divine!

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

yes ata...the best ones are ones you make and leave overnight after turning oven off "forgotten cookies". lovely to go to sleep after a hard night of baking and wake up to finished cooklies

9:47 am

raelite

I made one with cocoa once, it was amazing

9:47 am

Haz1558

She was - the dessert was named after her.

9:47 am

Judi

Lurrrve pavlova!

9:48 am

Haz1558

raelite - try making one with cinnamon or mixed spice.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i love lindt mozarts....at $19 per pound

9:48 am

raelite

**gasps** oh that would be so good

9:48 am

boo57

Okay, it sounds as if some food is in order. I am off to nosh on the homemade gingersnap cookies in the kitchen.

9:48 am

Haz1558

It is!

9:48 am

raelite

I can just see the speckles of red cinnamon in the pearly white of the pav...oh boy.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

can you describe pavlova briefly?

9:49 am

raelite

it's a giant merignue, TO

9:49 am

Atalante

with fruit

9:49 am

Judi

Beware, TO. You will want it, once you know what it is. Sort of a spin on baked alaska, without the flames.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Pavlova is basically a meringe mixture with the addition of vinegar and cornflour to make the outside crispy and the inside gooey/marshmallow. Topped with cream and fruit.

9:50 am

raelite

or meringue..and you pile it all up and it bakes in the oven, crispy on the outside marshmallow-y on the inside

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, wonderful! i love the triple choclate meringue cookies...lots of sugar but no fat

9:50 am

Judi

Meringue cookies may be used to make a cheap and quick pavlova.

9:51 am

Judi

And to think this all started with "muffin heads".

9:51 am

Haz1558

I've uploaded a picture of one.

9:51 am

Aloyisius

lol, just mentioned food to Babblers...

9:52 am

Haz1558

Or, at least, a slice of one.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i am tryiing a new cookie this year...an ice box cookie where you mix part of dough with pistachio pudding mix, other with cocoa, roll and slice

9:52 am

Atalante

wow TO!

9:52 am

Judi

Mmmm. That sounds real good, TO. I vowed not to bake this year. Too much temptation.

9:53 am

raelite

I made all my stuff with splenda

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

ata is was developed with premade sugar cookie dough, though i do not like to use that, i want to know what is in my food

9:53 am

Judi

How did your stuff turn out, rae? Splenda can sometimes make for weird textures when baking.

9:54 am

raelite

it turned out great: I used 3 parts white splenda to 1 part brown sugar to get some carmelization

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

however i will try it that way first. my workmates are willing guinea pigs

9:55 am

Judi

Interesting. No Splenda for you, I imagine, TO.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

ok peeps, i am really squandering day off - see you later to finish

9:55 am

Haz1558

Bye TO!

9:55 am

Judi

Ta ta, TO!

9:55 am

raelite

9:55 am

Aloyisius

anyone get the sp6/30 yet?

11:23 am

nurse1000

Whew Haz, I was struggling with just the clue. Ph sounds like a science, minus one letter

11:23 am

Haz1558

sp6/30 is descriptive of the globe

11:23 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy!

11:24 am

rururocks

sometimes vowell needs to be added

11:24 am

Aryn

haz, isn't that the sp6/24?

11:24 am

Aloyisius

yes, with some help, Aryn... use the same base as the word before it and hook on the "sometimes" vowel

11:24 am

montreal13

did u get it pigeonman ?

11:24 am

Aloyisius

weird word, methinks

11:24 am

Haz1558

sp6/24 is the globe, sp6/30 removes the vowel fromthe end and replaces it with the descriptive sometimes one.

11:24 am

jan

Haz is quite right, it's an adjectival form.

11:24 am

Aryn

ty aloy and haz!

11:34 am

Have a good day, everyone. time to run. TY for all your help.

11:34 am

The original meaning seems to be a Scots shield - we've made her into a battleaxe!

Strange how many more negative terms specifically for women there are, compared to how many negative terms are specifically for men. Or, perhaps less strange than sad. Or infuriating.

might be time for me to leave for a bit ...uh oh

11:39 am

jan

Oh, and speaking of "jerk," recently I was chastised by an older colleague for using such a vulgar term. When I looked clueless, he gently pointed out its sexual origin. (Was my face red?? I never realized it.)

11:39 am

all male babblers... excluded.. you are in a different class!

Placing hand over screen in case I see something I shouldn't.

Aloyisius

yes, indeedy... what one can learn on this site..

11:43 am

jan

Yes, or so he claimed. (Seems quite plausible to me.) It is funny how quickly a work can be detached from its original sense. I have a lot of students who insist that "sucks" as a pejorative term isn't vulgar at all, and has nothing to do with sexuality.

11:43 am

Atalante

oh pfff it was an inquiry

11:44 am

Atalante

and lol jan I would have never thought of sucks as coming from something vulgar. BUt most swear words are really

11:44 am

Aloyisius

my students used "suck" to mean "stink".. as in, it stinks..

11:44 am

Uniquity

If you consider it though, nearly all of our "classic insults" have sexual beginnings and references...

11:44 am

Preethi

Hello everyone

11:44 am

Aloyisius

hi Preethi!

11:44 am

Atalante

oh yes uni

11:45 am

Preethi

HI Aloy, Uni, Ata

11:45 am

jan

Yes, nowadays they tend to be about excrement or sexuality--though in earlier times they were more often religious in origin. (And in many parts of the world, still are...)

11:45 am

Preethi

Hows everyone doing today?

11:45 am

Haz1558

Hello Preethi.

Hello Haz

momof5

Morning all - has anyone finished all the TO's? I just did, and was surprised that the last five were all from the same word!

11:46 am

Haz1558

Were you unsteady on your feet once you realised?

11:46 am

Uniquity

Jan - good point. I love reading old poetry and discovering that things I consider non-offensive are the height of vulgarity in the time they were made

11:46 am

Takuma Sato

Howdy folks!

11:46 am

Preethi

12:14 pm

montreal13

19 to go ...

12:15 pm

montreal13

te7 = a 7 letter word starting with TE and worth 28 points

12:15 pm

JakkiCarr

oh, ok, thank you mon

12:16 pm

Uniquity

Hi Jakki, welcome to babbleland! As montreal just explained the numbers, I'll jsut give you the lsit of helpful things - the help icon just above chat ois fantastic, as well as angelsongs babble page in the "friends of babble" box below the grid. Third, is Lickety's List..fantastically helpful!

12:16 pm

montreal13

simplest is a 4-letter word where each tile is worth 1 point = a ..4/4 word ------- 5-letter words you double the tile count, 6-letter words, you triple the count etc...

12:16 pm

Sharidan

Hi Jakki - under the puzzle you'll see a section called "Friends of Babble". Look for "Lickety's Babble Clues. There you'll find today's puzzle with clues to all the words.

12:16 pm

JakkiCarr

thank you!

12:17 pm

montreal13

you ARE welcome Jakki !

12:18 pm

ursh

Fireworks here - tx for great clues along the way

12:19 pm

Sharidan

Jakki, I don't chat much, but I have to say that this is the nicest group of "friends" you'll find anywhere on the internet. Everyone is so helpful and patient. Just ask questions and sure as shootin' you'll get a good clue.

12:19 pm

montreal13

way to go ursh !!

hi there weegee from KY !!

12:22 pm

ursh

When I first got internet I was fascinated by being able to chat to people around the world so tried a couple of chatrooms - holy smoke it was like a foreign and foul language - I love that babble speaks good english and does not encourage swearing

12:26 pm

weegee

ursh, you're so right about other chats! Here, too, sometimes though... adults pretending to be kids, some soap opera confessions, etc., but not so much during the day U.S. time. Still, I usually keep chat closed. This seemed like a good group to say hi to.

Ursh, I second that sentiment.....Good people here!

1:48 pm

Sandieangel

Hi all - back for my last 32 - I've just noticed that I seem to have all the R words that are listed on licketty but I still seem to be one R missing on the grid. Has anyone any idea what this might be?

1:48 pm

Haz1558

It was a pretty dreich day this morning but improved a bit in the afternoon. No storms yet. The forecast looked grim, didn't it?

1:48 pm

FMitch

Yup, its persistently pouring at the mo with gale warnings for the w/e.

1:49 pm

lynxxx

Sandie - if you are using babbleExpert just send all the words to the grid again

1:49 pm

Haz1558

Sandie - have you gone through your word list and compared them?

1:50 pm

bethn

hi all!

1:50 pm

Haz1558

I like cold, dry weather - damp, gloomy weather isn't so good. And walking beside Spangle is like walking beside a miniature car wash with the revolving things.

1:50 pm

Sandieangel

Yes - I can't find one that I've missed. Will go through them again later. I don't know how to use Babble expert.

1:50 pm

FMitch

LOL what a great picture!

1:50 pm

Haz1558

Hello beth.

1:50 pm

Atalante

the car wash thing sounds very familiar

1:51 pm

lynxxx

sandie - do you have rh4.5. To get BabbleExpert you need to email Lickety (address on his List) and he will send you a copy...v. good!

1:51 pm

bethn

3:07 pm

bethn

some people have no taste whatsoever. but for next time stronger manacles

3:07 pm

Haz1558

at7 - a plus a double helping of the consonant, a ceremony that sounds to be correct.

3:08 pm

Haz1558

This is true, beth. I've learned my lesson.

3:08 pm

Atalante

maggots? I can think of worse

3:10 pm

3:11 pm

hurshy

ty

3:11 pm

Robo-bonobo

te5/10 = a quad

3:12 pm

lynxxx

6 go's

3:12 pm

Haz1558

er5/10 - if it began with v it would be the plural of the form in which poems and hymns are often written. Remove the v.

3:12 pm

momof5
