Haz1558

This is a sticky wee puzzle, isn't it?

3:34 am

lizmac

isn't it just.

3:34 am

Atalante

hi haz!

3:35 am

lizmac

hi everyone.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning! It's full of words that lead nowhere.

3:35 am

lizmac

I think it's the lack of Es that are the trouble.

3:36 am

lizmac

and no T.

3:36 am

Haz1558

True, I'd have lots more words if an e would show up. But are we downhearted?

3:37 am

Atalante

utterly

3:37 am

lizmac

Not one bit....because we are off to Greece (or Terminal 5) VERY soon.

3:38 am

Haz1558

No! You're meant to chorus NO! to indicate how happy we are to be challenged like this.

3:38 am

Haz1558

Oh Liz! Pack very light.

3:39 am

Atalante

no! NONO!

3:39 am

Haz1558

Seriously, pack only what you can carry with you in the cabin. It's not worth the risk otherwise.

3:40 am

lizmac

My fear is that we won't even reach the cabin.

3:41 am

Atalante

I think you'll get there

3:41 am

Haz1558

Are you flying down?

3:41 am

Frances

Morning all.

Heard yesterday about a poor girl who flew out of terminal five to go to the Caribbean for her wedding. BA have lost her wedding dress!

3:41 am

Flask1

Good morning all!

Clue please for am6/24?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning Frances and Flask. Wouldn't that make you so mad!

3:42 am

Haz1558

am6 - French love and lots of it.

3:42 am

Frances

Flask plural the am5/14 - the love related one

3:43 am

Flask1

thankyou!

3:43 am

lizmac

However, fingies crossed we'll be one of the 92% (VERY funny) that BA are saying get through trouble free!!! (they obviously prefer not to watch the news! Yes, flying Glasgow/T5/Athens.

3:43 am

Haz1558

Frances, what's happened to your icon? it looks a bit half-hearted about appearing.

3:44 am

Frances

Haz the poor girl is tearing her hair out. You know how much a wedding dress costs these days.

3:44 am

lizmac

1/4 heated in fact

3:44 am

Haz1558

I hope it goes well. Keep your wits and your bags about you.

3:44 am

Flask1

Sorry, I didn't notice the 2nd S.....!

3:44 am

Haz1558

I know, Frances, they cost a fortune and you'd like to think you'd get to wear it.

3:44 am

lizmac

*hearted

3:45 am

Haz1558

No problem, Flask.

3:45 am

lizmac

thanks, will do.

3:45 am

Frances

Icon is supposed to be one of my silk quilt blocks but as I'm not at home I can't mend it.

3:46 am

Haz1558

How long are you away for, liz?

3:46 am

lizmac

off to have my breakfast now. Back later to see if any Es have appeared.

3:47 am

lizmac

A week, Haz.

3:47 am

Frances

We live in hope liz. Enjoy breakfast.

3:47 am

Haz1558

You should be able to pack light then - have a good time if I don't see you before then.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Frances, the colour looks lovely

3:48 am

lizmac

Thanks, I will.

3:48 am

Frances

Different blues and white Haz.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Is the quilt finished or a work in progress?

3:51 am

Frances

Work in progress Haz. Each block is different. A lot are made from different silk dupion tartans with co-ordinating plains. All surrounded with white.

3:51 am

Atalante

it will be *gorgeous* frances!

3:52 am

Haz1558

I agree. I'm in awe of the skill and time involved.

3:52 am

Frances

I hope so Ata. This one is for me. I'll have to see if I can put a picture up of a few of the different blocks.

3:53 am

Haz1558

FMitch should design a virtual exhibition centre where babblers could display their arts and crafts.

3:54 am

Haz1558

And it would have the 'Gallery' music used by Tony Hart.

3:54 am

Frances

Wouldn't that be great.

3:54 am

Haz1558

We'll have to start dropping hints.

3:55 am

Haz1558

WE WANT A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION CENTRE, FMITCH!

3:55 am

Frances

Wow - big hint!

3:56 am

Haz1558

No point being coy about the thing.

3:56 am

Haz1558

I'm being pinned in a corner by a non-existent corgi.

3:57 am

Frances

I keep trying that one too Haz.

3:57 am

Atalante

is spangle happy about that?

3:57 am

Atalante

but me too

3:58 am

Haz1558

Spangle doesn't seem to mind. It's really annoying me!

3:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and here are my interesting phantoms so far: junior, insipid, unison, and throat warbler mangrove

3:59 am

Atalante

insipid lipids

3:59 am

Haz1558

Good morning BDG.

3:59 am

Frances

Morning Gwen. Interesting selection.

3:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee haz, and what is this about being trapped by a toy car?

4:00 am

Haz1558

A toy car would be bad enough. This is a corgi, dog breed beloved by the Queen. Short and ankle-nipping, apparently.

4:01 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't fancy Al Fayed's chances if he were left alone with a few of them.

4:01 am

Book Doctor Gwen

no, corgis are toy cars, too! LOL

4:02 am

Frances

I can remember when a corgi was a real car.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Are corgi cars still being made or do boys just play with computers these days?

4:03 am

Frances

Computers Haz.

4:04 am

Atalante

computerised corgi cars

4:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

dunno. try corgi.com and see what ya get 8-)

4:05 am

Haz1558

Corgi (with the dog as its logo) would appear to still be in business.

4:07 am

Atalante

good!

4:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

neat-o

4:11 am

Douglas

I would be ecstatic to get a clue for either of the d's, so I could get to NBT!

4:11 am

Atalante

still don't know, sorry!

4:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm still working on the top row, sorry!

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'll look.

4:14 am

Flask1

clue for co7/36 please?

4:15 am

Haz1558

di6 - late princess, a vowel and Pres Reagan, short version

4:15 am

Haz1558

di 7 is the plural.

4:16 am

Haz1558

I don't have it yet, Flask, but I'll look.

4:16 am

Flask1

thx Haz"

4:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ty, got them, haz

4:17 am

Haz1558

co7/36 - almost, but one letter short, of being the sort of punishment given to the body (the cane for example)

4:18 am

Flask1

thanks Haz!

4:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Or I suppose you could say it's one letter short of being a punishing army rank.

4:19 am

Haz1558

Anyway, back to grinding out words without e.

4:19 am

Douglas

Thanks Haz, I certainly wouldn't have stumbled onto that one, left to my own devices

4:20 am

Haz1558

Neither would I, Douglas. Morewords came to the rescue.

4:21 am

Douglas

Stephen King wrote about the children of the co4

4:22 am

Douglas

Maybe they had co5, callouses and bunions

4:26 am

Atalante

poor children

4:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

chirp chirp!

4:36 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(falls over asleep) bonk!

4:37 am

Haz1558

Do you want to be wakened up or is it time to go to bed?

4:37 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, not sure. true i am up very late, at least in my time zone

4:39 am

Haz1558

You haven't been to bed yet?

4:39 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i did have a short nap

4:40 am

Book Doctor Gwen

figured a bout with babble would put me out, and hey lookit that

4:41 am

Haz1558

We've obviously not done enough to bore you to sleep. We need to start talking economics or something.

4:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, that'll work LOL

4:43 am

Haz1558

Okay, what economic words do I know? Budget, tax, fiscal whatsit, dividends, tax, stocks and shares, tax...

4:44 am

Haz1558

Financial Times, FTSE, NASDAQ, (or NASCAR as some of us like to think of it) ....tax...

4:45 am

Haz1558

Eyes drooping yet?

4:45 am

Book Doctor Gwen

unemployment, welfare, compensation, insurance, food stamps, social security . . .

4:46 am

Book Doctor Gwen

4:46 am

Haz1558

Oh, you're much better than me. Bills, bills, tax, tax, bills, bills....

Jacula

4:56 am

Book Doctor Gwen

4:58 am

Haz1558

We'll know if it's worked if she slumps over the keyboard.

5:00 am

Book Doctor Gwen

actually, sheep don't put me to sleep. watching bad movies on tv does, though

5:01 am

pinkhatlil

5:06 am

lynxxx

5:06 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a break - laundry to hang out, dog to walk, gr4/7 to kick about the place. I'll be back later. Bye for now!

5:07 am

Atalante

I'm off for a few days, see you sunday!

5:07 am

pinkhatlil

Bye Haz!

'Bye, Haz. See you later.

5:07 am

Haz1558

See you Sunday, Atalante - Byee!

5:08 am

Jacula

Ata - Have a good time and don't forget to Cartlandise yourself.

5:08 am

Eva

This is ridiculous! 64 left and I've come to a complete stall

5:09 am

Eva

Also ridiculous that it may snow again today. I know I should start my seeds, but it seems unrealistic to believe that they will ever go into the ground.

5:10 am

Jacula

Eva - I can vouch that there are at least 24 more words than that.;-)

5:10 am

pinkhatlil

hello Eva, and Atalante

5:10 am

Eva

Are you sure you aren't hallucinating?

5:10 am

Eva

hi pink

5:10 am

Jacula

Yes, I'm being held up on the gardening front. Snow forecast here for Sunday.

5:11 am

hydra

Hi Jac! Thanks for all the helpful messages you've left on my blog. It's wonderful to get feedback. And hi Eva, pink and Haz.

5:11 am

Eva

morning hydra

5:11 am

Jacula

*Checks tea to make sure no hallucinogen has been added.* Nope! I'm fine.

5:11 am

pinkhatlil

hello hydra

5:12 am

bubbles81

's done

5:12 am

hydra

I've been staring at the sheep on Jac's icon, hoping it'll fall flat on its face sooner or later. Now I'm going dizzy!

5:12 am

Jacula

Morning, Hydra. I enjoy your blog immensely, as you know. I will start mine soon... when I can think what to burble about. LOL

5:13 am

Jacula

Yes, it is rather a lively sheep.

5:13 am

hydra

To save me going mad, does it do anything but jump?

5:14 am

hydra

Hey bubbles, did u just get fireworks? Did I miss it?

5:15 am

bubbles81

no just finished the j's and i was happy lol

5:15 am

Jacula

'Fraid not, Hydra.

5:15 am

hydra

Well done; I've only found two.

5:16 am

Jacula

I've got 6 of the 10 j words.

5:16 am

hydra

That saves me gazing at it all day then! My BF has a sheep on his that stands doing nothing for ages, then just as you're giving up on it, it will do something, or a space ship comes down and the sheep goes pink and a flower grows out of its head. It's crazy!

5:17 am

Jacula

Grr! Daughter's just emptied teapot. Need more tea! BBS.

5:17 am

hydra

I've got 4 j's now.

5:18 am

Jacula

Tea now brewing.

5:18 am

Jacula

Does Mr. Grumpy play Babble, Hydra?

5:19 am

Jacula

BTW, if you want to see some funny films check out my bio, especially the first two 'Simon's Cat' animations.

5:20 am

hydra

I have a paltry 440 words, the sun is shining and I think I'll go to the gym for the first time in 2 months (or is it three)? No, Mr G tried it before he had his stroke, but now he doesn't have the concentration. But he does sit there downloading scads of Celtic music. I';ll look at those films, Jac. And now, Byeeee!

5:20 am

Jacula

440 words?? Which gr4/7 are you doing? LOL

5:25 am

hydra

Doh! I was looking at the points! 43 words, I meant. Now I really AM going, but before I do, your photos of last year#s floods made fascinating (and grim) viewing. Hope it doesn't happen again.

5:26 am

Jacula

I hope not, too! See you in your blog, Hydra. Don't strain anything at the gym!

5:30 am

Jacula

Yippee! The j's are done.

5:41 am

5:57 am

FMitch

Thank you so much, really appreciated.

5:58 am

FMitch

Back to work
Thank you!!!!!!

5:58 am

Jacula

Good luck, FM!

5:58 am

Marmar

FMitch, the differences in those definitions can be so slight but change the whole meaning, you know? Those types of words are usually in English here too!

5:59 am

LoriP

Happy whatever it is you're doung FM! :-)

5:59 am

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Ack, cr5/16 is a pediatric infection that we see frequently, especially during the winter respiratory illness season. It is also called viral laryngotracheobronchitis.

6:03 am

Jacula

Hmm, I remember having to do the very same thing only it was Anglicising a leaflet translated badly from German. Gave me a few headaches but I got there in the end.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

10 J words?

6:04 am

Jacula

'Fraid so, Scrabbs. Some are court related.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, TY, Jacula, I wasn't seeing anything other than ji4 at first.

6:06 am

Jacula

If you put a negative word in front of those court-related words you'll get the two longest words in the gr4/7.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Yahoo! TY, Jacula. You made my day. I have to see the endodontist after lunch and I am afraid that the verdict will be 2 root canals. Yuck--pain will be physiologic and financial.

6:08 am

Jacula

Ouch, Scrabbs. I don't envy you that.

6:08 am

ardilla

carleekat

i have a friend ...or had...am not sure yet.. and over years she has been through alot of rough times... and I was there to support her..and she has been with me too... but when hubby had accident... I informed her about it..she was super busy with her life too... and..obviously I did not have time to spend on friendship....I barely had time to breathe... as most of you well know

7:07 am

carleekat

anyway... now that I do have time to breath..i am trying to contact her... and she is snubbing me... her feelings are hurt that I did not spend 2 hours on phone with her every other night for last 8 months

7:08 am

nancethefan

that's not right - how often did she call you during that time?

7:08 am

carleekat

never.... I was never home tho

7:08 am

nancethefan

& i didn't know your hubby was in an accident - is he ok?

7:09 am

nancethefan

that doesn't matter - does she live close enough to come see you?

7:09 am

nancethefan

is she married?

7:09 am

carleekat

he's getting better... u NEVER heard about accident?..OYVEY this was my life for last 8 months and babble was my "vent"

7:09 am

carleekat

yea...but I was rarely even in town..hubby was in diff city for 3.5 months in hospital

7:09 am

nancethefan

i'm so sorry

7:09 am

carleekat

married...grown kids

7:10 am

carleekat

its ok nance..life moves on..and..as I said..old news

7:10 am

nancethefan

is her husband controlling?

7:10 am

carleekat

nope...

7:10 am

nancethefan

i realize that, but you still need support & encouragement

7:11 am

nancethefan

well, i'm sorry you didn't get the support your need from your friend

7:11 am

chiley

Some people are not good dealing with catastrophic situations. And now she may be feeling guilty. Send her a card and tell her you miss her and miss her company.

7:11 am

nancethefan

*yo

7:11 am

nancethefan

lol *you

7:12 am

nancethefan

do you miss her?

7:13 am

carleekat

yea..i do...but... i don't want to belittle how much her abcence hurt me... and to just " play nicey nicey" makes me feel I am

7:14 am

chiley

I guess you have to decide if you miss her enough to forgive her, or if you want to tell her how you feel and take your chances of not reconciling the situation.

7:15 am

mrpresident

hello everyone :))

7:15 am

carleekat

pretty much...I have her on msn now..first time we have "talked" in MONTHS>.and she playing nicey nicey

7:15 am

nancethefan

if you miss her, just bite the bullet. i'm telling you this because in 1997 my best friend died. i stopped by her home a week earlier. I didn't kiss or hug her because i had some sort of bug - four days later, she was in intensive care & died within three days - boy do i ever miss her & the opportunity to have hugged and kissed her.

8:02 am

mrpresident

hi green! :)

8:02 am

Frances

So your an ebay junky too mrp.

8:02 am

mrpresident

8:03 am

montreal13

glad also about you being HAPPY - that helps everything doesn't it ?

8:03 am

AsGreen

mr p - my mother gave me advice when I first got married....as soon as you can afford cleaning help do it, and never let it stop! :)

8:03 am

mrpresident

i am fran... but can't believe how well we did with some of the stuff we sold

8:04 am

mrpresident

green, I agree!! we got help from when I had kids, had it for 9 years straight!! but gave it up 8 months ago... am taking it all back now!!
I get a housekeeper next week

8:04 am

Jandy

Oh, what sage advice green, and how clever of you to do this, mrp!

8:04 am

montreal13

80 words left, time for a break - bbl - happy babbling all - "POOF"

8:04 am

AsGreen

16 years later... :) and I must say, it's nice coming into a clean house that I didn't slave over....:) keeps hubby happier too (he's the neat freak in our duo)

8:04 am

mrpresident

see ya later montreal :)

8:04 am

AsGreen

bye mont!!

8:04 am

Jandy

I keep thinking that I should give up my cleaner cause there's only the two of us at home but there are lots of other things I would give up first....

8:05 am

Jandy

Bye mont

8:05 am

Frances

Mrp I keep meaning to do the same thing. You collect so much over the years and I guess if you haven't looked at something for about a decade, it should go.

8:05 am

AsGreen

no no no Jandy...don't do it

8:05 am

mrpresident

I am happy to say that 4 hours of housekeeping is going to be the best thing for me and my hubby... we are too busy/exhausted to do anything about it

8:05 am

Jandy

Having surgery in two weeks, green, so an EXCELLENT reason to keep going for a while... say five or six years!

8:05 am

mrpresident

too right frances!

8:06 am

AsGreen

lol - but why the surgery?

8:06 am

AsGreen

and mrp, I'm not sure what you are recovering from, but I'm happy to hear you are on the mend!

8:06 am

Jandy

Getting the girl bits removed....

8:07 am

mrpresident

ouchie darling... best of luck

8:07 am

Jandy

Well, it's lovely chatting to you all, but I have just received a better offer, frankly, so I'm off to bed! Good night all!

8:07 am

AsGreen

well enjoy that Jandy (the bed part, not the surgery)...:)

8:07 am

Frances

Goodnight Jandy. Enjoy your better offer.

8:07 am

Jandy

Thanks mrp... can't wait now the decision's made... can't keep on with the anaemia the way it is... I'm naturally pale but this is ridiculous!

8:08 am

Jandy

Iwill, thanks girls! Good night!

8:08 am

Frances

For a minute I thought you meant a sex change LOL

8:08 am

Jandy

Ye gods... think the better offer would be rescinded very quickly in that case... ROFL!

8:09 am

mrpresident

talking of girlie bits, I found out that the guy that is pregnant (5 months) is actually a transsexual who decided to keep his box... he and his wife got donated sperm and did a home insemination kit.
It is amazing... he is post-operative, but kept (her) uterus

8:09 am

AsGreen

ooooh mrp I just read your profile...so sorry to hear what you've been thru!

8:09 am

Jandy

I was just going to ask about that mrp... wondered if he had managed to impregnate himself.... and if it was good for him!

8:09 am

mrpresident

oh poor you jandy! anaemia is so hard!! I feel for you ((hugs))!

8:09 am

EvaNadine

all he has had done (from what ive read) is had his breasts removed + taken testosterone...
when they wanted a baby, he just stopped taking the testosterone...

8:09 am

Frances

Did you see the Oprah interview?

8:10 am

Jandy

No Frances, do tell!

8:10 am

Frances

LO Jandy

8:10 am

mrpresident

LOL! yes, I saw the oprah interview... he is completely post operative... a 'woman' of sorts.

8:10 am

nancethefan

8:13 am

Frances

What would her significant other have to say about that?

8:14 am

AsGreen

Since my brother in law has become one of her regulars I've gotten to "go" twice, but I'm dying to go and hang out with her!!

8:14 am

mrpresident

oh sorry! it just strikes me as odd... she is over the hill as far as having kids goes, but she has always wanted kids etc etc... I wish her the best

8:15 am

AsGreen

lol - I even crack myself up with this obsession!

8:16 am

AsGreen

8:58 am

Angela

I agree judi

8:58 am

Judi

Somebody call MENSA. I want a ruling on this.

8:59 am

EspritdJean

9:07 am

Haz1558

sa6 - both are the same save for the last vowel which changes. I'll need to think about a clue...

9:07 am

Judi

Don't have either, flosey.

9:07 am

Haz1558

The second sa6/24 - sa, reach down's opposite by means of a double consonant helping.

9:08 am

ardilla

i'm back

9:08 am

Haz1558

The first sa6/21 - same structure, different vowel at the end.

9:08 am

flosey

thanks Haz, got them both

9:08 am

Haz1558

Hello ardilla.

9:08 am

Judi

Twisted, but I get it. Thanks, Haz.

9:08 am

EspritdJean

that was too obscure for me!

9:08 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, flosey.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Twisted - that's me!

9:08 am

flosey

9:09 am

ardilla

EspritdJean

altho I did just get one ;-0

9:09 am

Kateq

It's A married Native American man. new word for me

9:09 am

Haz1558

sa, double helping of a consonant, opposite of down. (sa6/24) - the second one.

9:10 am

EspritdJean

that's the one I got

9:10 am

EspritdJean

trying to monkey the other one

9:10 am

flosey

yes, same meaning for both !

9:11 am

EspritdJean

confused me when you said different "vowel" at the end

phaeton

Right, good excuse Bzz

9:27 am

carleekat

they call me for it all the time...so far I haven't dropped a word today tho :D

9:28 am

Haz1558

Ignorance of the law is no defence, but we'll be nice and pretend not to notice.

9:28 am

BzznBea

Give it time, Carlee.

9:28 am

carleekat

Judi

Please, phaeton - at least drop one we can use.

9:29 am

bubba218

no8 please

9:29 am

phaeton

well, i thought it might be useful. None of the other letters in the gr4 are very useful

9:29 am

Haz1558

no8 - negative prefix, then one of 12 who sit in judgement.

9:29 am

flosey

help with mo7 please?

9:30 am

bubba218

Thanks Haz

9:30 am

Haz1558

mo7 - French male possessive, a vowel and first part of President Reagan's name.

9:31 am

flosey

thanks Haz

9:31 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, bubba.

9:31 am

Judi

Haz to the rescue again. Gotta look that one up.

9:31 am

Haz1558

And mo8 is the plural, flosey.

9:31 am

bubba218

mo7 think of a structure for someone else, like the Washington ****ment in DC + president reagan's first name

9:32 am

Judi

Feh. Chemical compound. No wonder I didn't know it.

9:32 am

flosey

wow, another word to look up meaning for

9:33 am

phaeton

how many today, please?

9:33 am

flosey

ah, should have taken more chemistry!

9:33 am

Haz1558

There is a high percentage of new words today. Or maybe I'm jut not moving in the right circles.

9:33 am

Haz1558

152 words today, phaeton.

MLFAN17

hello

9:36 am

kje

this is a hard grid - I don't feel like I know half the words!

9:36 am

phaeton

hi mlf!

9:36 am

Haz1558

cr5 - switch round the vowels of the bad cough, finish with a consonant, such that the last two letters look like an alternative.

9:36 am

flosey

thanks Haz

9:37 am

Haz1558

TESN is one of those electrical stimulating things - you put electrodes on, switch on and the idea is that the buzzy feeling distracts from the pain.

10:01 am

I haven't seen her in the last few days Aloyisius -- but my schedule is so unpredictable.

10:04 am

10:04 am

Aloyisius

1:22 pm

Minski

pi5/16 I think is another word for an American Indian canoe or that sort of a boat. pi + 1st 3 letters of a man's name beginning with R.

1:22 pm

stidmama

three.... {{{Minski}}}

1:23 pm

AsGreen

afternoon all!

1:23 pm

Judi

Pi5/16: polish dumpling sort of thing, Stid. Only it's missing a vowel off the end.

1:23 pm

Minski

op6/24 please?

1:25 pm

AsGreen

going backwards thru the list now - lol - us are done!

1:25 pm

Judi

Op6/24 - made from poppies.

1:26 pm

Carl Carlton

It's a class of drugs.

1:26 pm

Haz1558

The second sa6/24 is sa, a double helping of a consonant, and the opposite of down.

1:26 pm

Judi

Sa6's. Definition is married male American Indian. That clue didn't help me any, but it may help you, Stid.

1:26 pm

Haz1558

The first sa6 (sa6/21) is exactly the same, bar the vowel towards the end of the word.

1:27 pm

Judi

Yeech. A pile of paperwork sits at my elbow. I'm done with the grid, so I really can't procrastinate any longer.

1:28 pm

AsGreen
