2:23 am

reparteena

hey, just lurking. not too much going on here

2:28 am

Douglas

Isn't delect a perfectly good word?!?

2:29 am

reparteena

sounds good ,but maybe not!

2:31 am

Douglas

If something is delectable, doesn't that imply that someone would delect it?

2:31 am

gremlinn

"delectible" is

2:31 am

gremlinn

actually, "delectable" was right, sorry

2:32 am

Douglas

No Google search results for define:delect...my bad

2:33 am

gremlinn

it comes from Latin "dēlectābilis" - seems like the "able" part was built in, which is why there's no "delect" alone

2:34 am

gremlinn

other endings: -ability, -ableness, -ably

2:35 am

BabbleRabble

delectable Look up delectable at Dictionary.com
c.1400, from O.Fr. delectable, from L. delectabilis, from delectare (see delight).
hautboy Look up hautboy at Dictionary.com
1570s, from Fr. hautbois "high wood" (see oboe).

"This Pageaunt waz clozd vp with a delectable harmony of Hautboiz, Shalmz, Coronets, and such oother looud muzik." [Robert Laneham, 1575]

2:35 am

Douglas

I noticed likewise in the search for define:delectable, grem

2:36 am

gremlinn

I can't think of any other long -able words where you can't just take off the -able to get a more basic word.

2:37 am

gremlinn

Some -ible words like "compatible", though.

4:09 am

4:10 am

herinfernallady

humburgers and chips

4:10 am

4:35 am

herinfernallady

eating over a plate

4:36 am

4:37 am

herinfernallady

I am talking to my b.f about how the French Revolution caused his great great something or other Father to loose their land in Normanby

4:38 am

rubyfoo

I know nothing about Fr history as my 1st husband was a Fr historian!!

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Also talking about how his great grandma was married to ''nobility'' and his great grand father was disinherited for marrying below his station.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

yay, I got all the c's

4:40 am

rubyfoo

too funny!

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Sad but true. So if events had not happened I could be with someone complete different

4:41 am

rubyfoo

and you could marry nobility

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Probably not. More of the kind to polish the shoes

4:41 am

rubyfoo

gee, sounds like my family!

4:42 am

rubyfoo

did you get the fi4/8 French word?

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Then again I may well not have been with the family I have if my Great Grandfather hadn't come back from WW1 he landed on the front line in Turkey were only one in ten came home

4:42 am

rubyfoo

they use it often, I guess it's a babblet

4:43 am

rubyfoo

that's very interesting about your gr. grandfather

4:44 am

rubyfoo

I guess there have been brave troups from Australia in all the wars, and they've gotten very little recognition

4:44 am

herinfernallady

Do not know much about him as my Dad doesn't know what his real name is. They are British not Aus

4:45 am

rubyfoo

aaaah

4:45 am

has anybody tried geneology records on google? My sister is trying to do it for our family with ships' manifests and such....too hard for me

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Yep.

4:46 am

I think I had better go and make Mr. Nasty his aperitif or the next world war will start in rural France!

4:47 am

El8/50 - e plus a shortened version of Mr Bernstein (three letters), add a consonant, finish with a facial twitch.

You're welcome, Mudd.

7:01 am

I wish you all could hear how hard Diggity is snoring right now---amazing he can sleep through it!

7:01 am

Mudd

The Bernstein clue worked better for me.

7:02 am

Haz1558

As long as you got it - sometimes people don't get the references and then it gets frustrating for both sides.

7:02 am

Trifioso

which reminds me, I keep meaning to say -- we have a event every year in Norwell called "our town reads" where we all read the same book, and then there are different events around the book. This year they picked a mystery, which I don't usually read, but this one was GREAT! It's called "Dog On It" by Spencer Quinn. It's about a detective and his dog, and the story is told from the dog's point of view....

7:03 am

Trifioso

I highly, highly recommend it for all my dog-loving friends. the author is hilarious, and completely writes what I am sure our dogs would say....

7:04 am

Haz1558

It sounds like fun!

7:04 am

Trifioso

it is haz, as well as being a well-crafted mystery.

7:04 am

Mudd

I'm stuck again on another 8, Haz. fe 8 ... please

7:05 am

Haz1558

I'll have a go, Mudd.

7:05 am

Mudd

ooo, I just got it. thanks anyway.

4:05 pm

Pinikula

that's one of my 4, kap

4:05 pm

mo

4:05 pm

Pinikula

* working on the 'fungus' *

4:05 pm

wht

Is the en6 a fish?

4:05 pm

lynxxx

ae & American secretive department

4:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

or do6 or fe6

4:05 pm

Pinikula

thx lynxxx

4:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and I'll be done

4:06 pm

Pinikula

do6 = dbl both last letters

4:06 pm

wht

fe6 is an herb that tastes like anis

4:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have that I thought.

4:06 pm

Pinikula

what about the fe6/30?

4:06 pm

wht

That is the fe6,27 Don't have the fe6,30

4:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's the one I need.

4:07 pm

Pinikula

sounds like we're all in the same boat!

4:07 pm

mo

Kaplan ... alter last letter of the other fe6.

4:07 pm

Pinikula

at least I'm gathering we're all looking for en6/21, fe8/60, and fe6/30?

4:07 pm

Pinikula

oooh, thx mo!

4:08 pm

4:08 pm

4:09 pm

Pinikula

4:09 pm

wht

That just leaves the fe8

4:09 pm

Now I am do4/5 and have no more words le4/7 to find.Now I fe4/7 hungry so I ne4/5 to go fe 4/8 myself dinner. I will be back later on tonite to le4/5 a hand w/clues.

7:46 pm

Good Enough

Minveryork

el8/50 does not build off the el 5/12. Want a clue yet

8:35 pm

Riverdance

8:35 pm

phandmd

no, it doesn't

8:35 pm

Minveryork

el8/50 is Ell** Degeneres plus consonant plus dog pest

8:36 pm

phandmd

you need to put a hump letter in front of the c of the previous word and then add most of frozen water

8:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello crosshair! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

8:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello phandmd!How are you doing? Welcome to puzzle

8:38 pm

Jacula

Min - be sure your Other Half doesn't enter it for you, thinking he's doing you a favour.

8:39 pm

Jacula

My OOther Half did that once, like ripping out the last page of a god book. He's never made the same mistaake again.

8:40 pm

Minveryork

Hi Jacula!That would NEVER happen! He HATES babble

8:40 pm

Jacula

*Other, *good. * mistake.

8:40 pm

Jacula

Hi Min.

8:41 pm

Riverdance

thanks for the clue and congrats on finishing up Phandmd

8:41 pm

Jacula

Min - why does he have such an emotional reaction to Babble?

8:42 pm

Riverdance

Mine hates it too

8:43 pm

Jacula

Is it the men don't like us being on the internet, chatting, etc., to anyone other than them?

8:43 pm

Minveryork

He doesn't like it because he thinks that I spend too much time on the computer&not enough time paying attention to him or doing chores. He's jealous I guess

8:43 pm

Jacula

And, once they arrive home, getting a meal on the table should be more important than finishing the grid.

8:44 pm

Riverdance

That is my life to the "T" Min

8:44 pm

Riverdance

I dont even start the grid until all that is done and dishes done and laundry done and.....

8:44 pm

Jacula

btw, if you don't want your raking to suffer, don't start and not finish a grid.

8:45 pm

crosshair

8:46 pm

forwardbyfaith

Jacula

Time for a music break then, I guess. John Lennon 'Jealous Guy'. Do you know it or do you want a link to it?

8:47 pm

Minveryork

I don't care about the rankings. If I cared about the rankings, I'd never enjoy babble because my ranking always sucks.Don't finish many grids during the week

8:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! I have a story of clues in profile if you need

10:14 pm

Nef

you know, red, there are always days in our work when we think that we have the toughest job in the world. If those days outnumber the days that we think we have the best job in the world; then (to me at least) it's time to change the area you work in. Not just your location ("same sh**, different place and day") but the area you work in too

10:14 pm

Nef

Thanks, Min! I love your clue stories!!!

10:28 pm

stidmama

I have all the A words now if you want help there.

This is the last grid I will finish for a while. Tomorrow I have to start back to my normal school routine and study all day long, leaving the grid to the last hour most days.

10:39 pm

stidmama

If I don't do that, then I really won't focus on my studies. Which, some days, is a good thing!

10:43 pm

Minveryork

Good luck with your school studies. You have a lot of will power to be able to put school studies in front of babbling.Babblers will miss seeing you in the chat log.

10:53 pm

stidmama
