good night, good day, good morning...
I'm so confused! :-)
12:09 am
cathy22w
still sobbing after only having 12 words to go on the last one!
12:09 am

Not too bad, I'd say, only 12 more? It was quite a large grid.
12:09 am
hokie carla
yeah, I ran out of time on that one.
12:10 am
cathy22w

Why, if there is a hitman, there is no hitcar?

Kathy - It may well be Celia Imrie or Julie Walters that has compromised your driving there. Celia plays 'the snob' and Julie (a fellow brummie born girl) plays the doddery old waitress).

8 am here, so I am about to take my kids to school, do some shopping and then come back for the other 87 words.
1:10 am
sprite
I am confused... thought that there was this 'hiat' or 'hiate' word, meaning an empty spot where something is missing... but it won't take.
1:11 am
lottijw
7am here Sprite so i have to get mine ready too. I`ll be back later, only wanted the letter count!

Morning all.Work today.What a shock.See you later.
2:10 am
sprite
never mind, that word is 'hiatus' and it isn't in this grid. Not in a valid way anyway. Some hiatus in my brain, right?
2:11 am
Hugabugs
is it e8/80 or e8/50?
2:12 am
Cmith
its e8/50 - cannot type. Sorry
2:12 am

A typo like yours, LOL!

morning all!

Hugabugs
which c6/24 would that be Sprite? I have 3

Hugabugs
Oops... got it
2:24 am
sprite
Funny, isn't it, how asking something in the log somehow makes you see the answer? ;)
2:25 am
Hugabugs
It happens to me so often too. Hmmm... maybe I should ask for a hint on that e8/50 that is eluding me.
2:26 am
Hugabugs
Omg... it worked
2:28 am
Hugabugs
I swear... I've been looking and trying everything. Then it just jumped out at me

Hey, Syr! How are ya?
2:30 am
Syrdarya
I'm all right, and you? I thought I'd stop by before bedtime. :)
2:31 am
Hugabugs
I'm good. It's past my bedtime, but I just can't tear myself away.
2:31 am
Syrdarya
I know how that is!
2:32 am

I'm so bad! Some nites it's after 4
2:36 am

At least you can be sure that somewhere on the world it is a decent time to play babble :)
2:37 am
Hugabugs
lol - yep... it's always a good time to Babble
2:37 am
Blaze
any time is babble time...what is really great is there is also someone to chat with at the same time.

That's true!
2:40 am

You guys burning the midnight oil always lighten up my babble mornings :)
2:42 am

I am blessed, the new babble grid comes on at 7.00 am
2:48 am
Hugabugs
You get such a head start on us
2:53 am
sprite
Yes, it's the ideal time. I can play some before waking up the kids and when they are getting dressed, then I make them breakfast, get them to school, shop and get back to the grid, lol. That is, if life doesn't get in the way.
2:55 am
Hugabugs
Sounds just right
3:00 am
sprite
I submit 'rehug' for a making-it-up cuddle with your love. Can't find that last R and it is driving me wild.

Nice work! That darn E-color is back, by the way. Searched for it for half an hour, literally.
3:47 am

sprite
I couldn't agree more!
3:48 am

Oh, and since it isn't in this grid, I can put it here, another one I really hate: anoa! Can't seem to remember that one.

The boy scout troop I work with meets year round, but the start of school year always brings in newby's
8:03 am
Jera
I like meeting year round, dunno why most people knock off in summer. Hard to coordinate vactaion schedules, I guess.
8:04 am
Jera
I guess I should start finding out about Boy Scouts pretty soon, my son, Gwyd will be four in 2 weeks!
8:04 am

I keep seeing corset, but it just won't take. lol
8:05 am

shhh everybody Gwen is seeing things lol
8:05 am

I tried to make it take cravet for about 5 minutes... finally broke down & pulled out the dictionary... duh, it has 2 a's, LOL!

Sometimes it helps to be able to spell in this game (sometimes it doesn't)!
8:06 am

all the best people Jera, I did exactly the same thing.
8:07 am

I think you need to be creative and persistent, some of these words are quite unbelievable
8:09 am

8:09 am
Moozey
oh and completely off your rocker because we keep coming back

cub scouts or explorers (unisex scouting, actually cool for familys with young teens...
8:09 am

LOL Anj, I was just working something along the same lines!!!!
8:10 am

How uptight are they about God in Boy Scouts these days, I've heard some horror stories?
8:11 am

don't forget to look for goatee ladies, trust me, I keep seeing it ... swear its there...
8:11 am

Anj, I like your (new?) icon... Brian is cool!
8:12 am

Cheers Jera :) He's a cool dawg. Might stick with him for a bit...
8:12 am

Our council just cares that the child has a spiritual foundation. Midtown Memphis is a very diverse area and some children practice very secular religions or philosophies (we have a taoist child in our group, makes for very interesting discussions about why not to do things).
8:13 am
Jera
Hey, jocate's a word, right? It's when you look for someone with a laughing attitude...
8:13 am
FMitch
mtnjock, that word is there!
8:14 am
Jera
That sounds really cool, mtnjock,,, I really thingk diversity is the key... understanding that people are people & everyone is worthy of respect (except for, say, axe murderers!).
8:14 am
mtnjock
OMG, I just typed it in, and it threw it out... must have mispelled it.
8:15 am

I just fell of my chair laughing at Stewie and was hooked ever since. Haven't got series IV over here yet though.
Does anyone watch American Dad?
8:20 am
Jera
Gwyd has his Stewie moments... when I say that N word (no), he gives me a look that would reduce mere mortals to a pile of smouldering ashes.
8:22 am
Anj
Well I have to run. Bit pushed for babbling time today but might be back for a quickie later. Have fun :)

Hi all - Its good to see that the Girl Guide & Scout movement is thriving. I run Rainbow Guide 5-7yrs and assist at a Brownie Guide unit here in Wales UK. We did finish for the summer and I've spent the last two evenings planning the next terms programme.
8:25 am
cathy22w
i went to bed at 1.30am!!! blimey... then was up at 7am to get the kid off to school
8:27 am
Jera
I love planning!! I have to really rein myself in since the Girls are supposed to be starting to be more active in the planning process (especially my daughter's age group).
8:27 am
Jera
When we moved last December, we switched Councils... very different here, much better organized!
8:28 am
Jera
Cathy, I forgot... boy/girl? How old?
8:29 am
cathy22w
a boy, Ben, 11 and a half... and becoming more of a stereotypical teenager every day!
8:31 am
Jera
That's a great age. Sprite (my daughter), is 9 1/2 going on 30 sometimes.
8:31 am
snowyowl
Jera I know the feeling! Our Rainbow movement has its 18th birthday this month so national parties are being held. Still plenty of craft opportunities this term and I can't wait for our 1st meeting next week.Being busy definately gives me more motivation to be organised. Will be babbling till dawn so that I can fit it all in!
8:32 am
cathy22w
lol jera - it is a great age, sort of in between being a little boy and a full blown teenager. a tweenager. lol
8:32 am
Jera
I hear you, snowyowl. So how do Rainbows compare to Brownies? Do you still have Brownies in the UK?

Jera,Yes Rainbows are 5-7yrs, brownies 7-10 and Guides 10 - 26(inc rangers). I do r/bows & brownies and my daughter (26) runs a Guide and Ranger unit.
8:37 am
Jera
Sprite really wants me to lead her troop, but it seems Brownies leaders are more needed. I found an excellent Junior troop for her, talking with other leaders last night. The tiny one she was in last year (moving mid-term stinks!), disbanded, everyone either lost interest or moved.
8:38 am
Jera
We are coming up on 100 years of Girl Scouting, which should be really awesome, Nations's Capital does some great stuff!
8:44 am
snowyowl
The 10 - 14 age group here finds it the hardest to keep girls and leaders. We find we get large units of 20 girls plus or tiny ones. The youngest girls are a joy and I have a theory that Guide Guiders are born not made as they have the most difficult job, keeping teenagers happy and motivated.
8:48 am
Jera
It's the same way here. ITA about Leaders/Guiders. It's a calling like the clergy! Someone was joking last night about the tag phrase to recruit Leaders... it's only an hour a week (what a crock). My response... not if you do it right!
8:52 am
snowyowl
Its nice to know that the time joke is global! My usual recruiting strategy is to invite a unit helper (non uniform) in and after 6 weeks I just slip in that they are doing the job so they may as well wear the uniform & make the fun official! Its worked so many times. Don't you just love gullible friends?
8:54 am
Jera
We had a lot of moms volunteer to be Leaders, but it remains to be seen how many will follow through. I think every parent should register & do basic training. That way if there's an emergency, there's a plenty of official adults to jump in.
8:56 am
Jera
My scary motto is... they'll be running the world in a few years, they need to be taught how to do it well!
8:58 am
Moozey
or we will end up with loads of Becky's running the world <shudder>
8:59 am
snowyowl
How true scary isn't it how much influence you have. It's nice tho' to see the girls coming through . My newest adult leader was my 1st Rainbow guide nearly 12 years ago and that feels really good. hope to speak to you again later. The laundry calls! Yours in Guiding

Jera
Who is Becky, Moozey? Thatcher?
9:04 am
snowyowl
OMG Moozey - Becky. Poor misguided child (guiding pun). I'd almost (but not quite) forgotten her. Been quite peaceful around here hasn't it? and long may it continue> Jera Becky was the 14 yr old a few days ago who wrote in text speak and was generally abusive. The only good thing was that she made me want to spell and punctuate really well!

Jera we already had a boss (brown owl) and a tawny owl
and they tend to say barny owl here instead of barn owl and I'm 'barny'enough if you know what I mean.I couldn't take the risk! So I chose Snowy Owl which is the nastiest of them all but sounds fantastic!

Alright! so the mi6 is like mom with an i
7:40 pm

Mi6/33 an alternate word for mother, change the first vowel.
7:43 pm

ME6/24 it's an offspring of a white person and a quadroon (west Indies).
7:43 pm
cbr1965
I could use the ei
7:44 pm
live_n
cbr1965 you want ei this or that
7:45 pm

ei6/27 another word for "or"

Mary (or anybody) - a clue or definition for the ra5 would be very useful, thanx...
7:47 pm

ra5 - Appearing or ripening early in the year, as flowers or fruit.

7:57 pm

Isn;t there only one mi6? The one like your parent with a different first vowel? Is there another?

Good night Mary...
Live-n, see Mary's post just a few messages ago,,I'm also looking for that
in re: the mi6, ther's an hi6 and ti6 along the same train of thought, but for this one think the TV character Mr. Smithers, w/o the s's :)
8:05 pm
cbr1965
live_n - the mi6 is defined as slang for to fuss and bother
8:07 pm
live_n
I've got it but not come across the me6 before... is it pejorative PC or what ?
8:08 pm
live_n
Thanks cbr1965 !
8:11 pm

I have no clue and had never heard of it before - it is based on the word mestizo is all I can tell you based on the nifty online dictionary!

It's all in the preparation... give a couple of spoons a short sharp shock of steam, no more no less ... apparently the shorter the amount of time the powder spends with the water less cafeine and more aroma hits you!

right CBR and if you go for the high point value ones that helps too. some people just get on and get what they get, and of course they find the 4 letter ones first...
9:29 pm
torgone
I don't know about Dr_God's secret formula for rankings, but words/points ratio, improvement, and time spent seem to be weighted heavily. I really don't know though. I have gotten a fairly consistent percentage of the words, completed a few, but I'm steadily dropping in the rankings. I just enjoy the game immensely, and if I can stay ranked among the better players, I'm happy.
9:30 pm
Jax
AH time spent matters? Then it probably isn't a good idea to leave the window open all day when I'm at work! lol
9:31 pm

Tor - same with you. I try to complete all under 200 but the ones over that are hit or miss. The time they had one over 400 it wasn't even fun after awhile.

Doogle
cbr1965 and others who were discussing rankings earlier:
A couple of things I have learned from Doc God include a) the rankings only look at the last 30 days. So even on a day you don't finish a puzzle, a puzzle you did poorly on 31 days before won't be considered any longer, which may well cause you rankings to go up on a day you don't even play. B) the rankings generator primarily looks at how many people got scores lower than you did. The completion of a more complicated puzzle with lots and lots of words does not, in and of itself, cause your rankings to go up, but the fact that completing a complicated puzzle will mean that there are far more people with scores lower than yours *will* cause your rankings to go up.
That's what I've gleaned...
10:46 pm
cbr1965
I do have the lifting one but didn;t have the warming one - which is funny since I just gave someone else a clue for the shorter form
10:48 pm

Es6 - when you don't know exactly how much you need of something you es____ to get as close as you can - rounding numbers up or down before adding will give you an es______ of the approximate total

Will someone please tell me how to get this word????? It is the last one I need to finish the puzzle!
