NIce little puzzle today. See you all tomorrow.

7:48 am

MollyL

Whoo, I am confused. I would call ea7 a compound word. Because of the definition "two or more individual words used together to create a new word with its own individual meaning"

8:06 am

HarryHood

found the 8!

8:07 am

HarryHood

still missing the O

8:11 am

8:14 am

westford

I just checked my profile. Today is my 14th anniversary on Babble. No wonder I never get anything done. lol

8:15 am

HarryHood

happy anniversary westford

8:15 am

westford

thanks Harry

8:27 am

MollyL

Someone should work up a "traditional" Babble anniversary gift guide. Like...first anniversary - a soft pillow. For cushioning your head as you beat it against the wall while you learn the ins and outs of The Enable Word List.

8:29 am

godthaab

I like it!

8:30 am

hokie carla

happy word nerd day, westford

8:30 am

periwinkle

I have been playing Babble since the summer of 2004! i was still working then

8:30 am

periwinkle

I like the idea of an anniversary gift guide too.

8:30 am

periwinkle

I found the 8 too

8:31 am

periwinkle

I really should do some cleaning around here. hence I am Babbling

8:31 am

hokie carla

when do you have to move?

8:32 am

MollyL

Second anniversary...a list of all obscure foreign currencies and mammals.

8:32 am

periwinkle

not sure. my lease is up the end of this month. no apt where I want to go. looks like I will move in with my long time friend and neighbor who lives downstairs. the new owner has agreed to that. for 6 months to a year

8:33 am

hokie carla

wow, hope you can find somewhere

8:33 am

periwinkle

I am really grateful for that option otherwise I had nowhere to go. It was very unsettling.

8:33 am

periwinkle

thanks carla

8:34 am

hokie carla

why does your friend get to stay? not sure I've seen all the parts of the story.

8:34 am

MollyL

Wait, why do you have to move and she gets to stay?

8:34 am

periwinkle

an inspector still needs to see the property and the papers need to be signed

8:35 am

periwinkle

she and my landlady are cousins and live downstairs. landlady will move in with her son. the potential new owner is being very kind.

8:36 am

periwinkle

they live in a 3 bedroom apartment downstairs which is where I will go. I will stay where I am till the deal is finalized.

8:36 am

periwinkle

even tho my lease is up next week

8:37 am

hokie carla

I don't understand why they're making anyone move. seems like they'd rather have renters they know are good. unless they want to jack the rent with the new leases.

8:37 am

periwinkle

they want to raise the rents and will have to upgrade each apartment if they want to do that

8:38 am

periwinkle

I do not know about the other 2 tenants and when their leases end.

8:38 am

hokie carla

ok

8:38 am

periwinkle

it has been very stressful for me

8:39 am

hokie carla

I bet. How long have you been there?

8:39 am

periwinkle

I was roomates with this friend many, many years ago

8:39 am

periwinkle

6 years

8:39 am

hokie carla

what state are you in, peri?

8:39 am

periwinkle

the other tenants 12 years and 9 years. we are all good tenants. quiet, pay rent on time. I am in PA

8:41 am

periwinkle

a hint please for the ti9

8:42 am

westford

just catching up with chat..thanks for your good wishes Hokie..Molly, love the anniversary gifts; Peri I hope everything works out for you.

8:42 am

hokie carla

I still have 77 left, so definitely no 9 yet

8:42 am

MLFAN17

reclue ea7 pls?

8:42 am

periwinkle

thanks westford

8:42 am

MLFAN17

no 9 here either

8:43 am

hokie carla

ea7 is "the importance of being _"

8:43 am

MLFAN17

ty

8:44 am

hokie carla

or ea7 money you pay when you're buying a house which is like a deposit

8:44 am

westford

8:44 am

periwinkle

8:44 am

periwinkle

cute clue west

8:44 am

periwinkle

I found it right before your clue

8:45 am

hokie carla

well all I can think of with the clue is titsave, which is obviously not right

8:45 am

periwinkle

help with the O pls

8:45 am

westford

great !

8:45 am

hokie carla

but I got it. had the 7 and didn't think of the other ending

8:46 am

westford

take the first letter off the finiky cat for the o

8:47 am

westford

finicky

8:47 am

MollyL

That keeping things for a rainy day really stumped me. And I had the word. I don't think of the second part as meaning that.

8:47 am

periwinkle

ty for or word

8:48 am

westford

you're right Molly but that was the first thing that came to mind

8:48 am

MollyL

Carla, the second part is more like "the stranded sailors had to _____ out the food to make it last."

8:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, I got it once I realized I had the 7, but thanks

8:49 am

MollyL

Oh, I missed your "I got it"

8:49 am

hokie carla

that just reminded me to get the 5 :D

8:49 am

MollyL

Most of the strippers were on strike, so the strip club had to ti9 for the night.

9:07 am

MLFAN17

i had trouble with it a first too

9:08 am

MLFAN17

hokie carla

the 9 is just the noun ending of the 7

9:09 am

MLFAN17

12:43 pm

hokie carla

12:44 pm

hokie carla

so is it SM or S something else?

12:44 pm

hokie carla

nm

12:44 pm

hokie carla

12:44 pm

waskallia

no 7s missing here is what I meant

12:45 pm

hokie carla

was missing the more slangy one as that's a weird spelling IMO

12:46 pm

hokie carla

found my a's, could have sworn I had those already

12:46 pm

waskallia

so it must be the sm5+2. oops I had 2 sm 7'ssorry!

12:46 pm

waskallia
