12:45 am

HighEnergy

I wrote a program to find the words. It uses the same public domain dictionary (ENABLE) that the game uses. The dictionary has about 170,000 words

12:46 am

oooh kay fine..... You are very industrious.... keep up the good work. Thanks

12:49 am

Well done High Energy! Thank you.

6:06 am

SunnFlower

yeah it has changed a bit its just at the bottom now instead of both, is that what you meant?

6:06 am

FMitch

ferrari
it is probably the ga5/18 which I didn't believe. take your ga4/5 that means to yawn (and ends with the e on the top row) and add a consonant to the end of the word

6:07 am

Kallia

ferrari i am so confused don't know what I meant really, but it seems ok now thanks :)

6:07 am

Anj

Kallia, my last two words were ranch & painch. That probably tells you something of the torment lol.
Thanx for the help :)

It's weird around here anyway, not to like milk chocolate.... but it makes me sick... don't even talk about the abomination of white chocolate... disgusting...

8:32 am

Jera

Because I can't have often or gentlefolk, bejay!!

8:32 am

DarleenMB

8:38 am

Anj

Only ever found it once at Belgo's. It's Belgian, looks like a normal lager but trust me, it tastes of chocolate. I've been trying to find it again ever since lol.
...and they served it with a white chocolate bombe desert
*sigh* ...would have quite happily married the waitress at that point...

8:40 am

Judi

Does anyone have a clue for the T9?

8:40 am

Anj

Cathy, thinking back to Flakes, do they still make Ripples?
Haven't seen one in a while...

8:40 am

Bobsta, don't be scared of snakelike sounds for the heraldic one

9:29 am

baggo

9:30 am

macadam

Bobsta a person admitted he had committed a crime.The word you want is in there.

9:33 am

Anj

I see we're serving Leffe today :) Voluntary euthanasia in a glass lol

9:34 am

Anj

Sprite, did you see my earlier post about the choccy beer???

9:35 am

Bobsta

9:35 am

sprite

Missed that, Anj, just got started actually. But I am right with you :)

9:36 am

sprite

Bobsta, my clues are for a Fe5/16. Perhaps there are more?

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

there are 2--one is a plural of an fe4 and the other is french for butt

9:36 am

Bobsta

Leffe Blonde, YUUUUUMMMMYYYY!!

9:37 am

lola100

It would appear that bobsta no longer gives a toss about the fe5/16......

9:37 am

Chris P

Baggo - it can't be an st4/4, because I only need one word and the stats tell me it's a 5

9:38 am

Bobsta

LOL!!!!

9:38 am

baggo

bobsta...there are 4 of those....and whats a leffe?

9:38 am

baggo

9:39 am

Bobsta

Leffe is a gorgeous beer, i think from belguim though i'm sure i'll be corrected if i'm wrong.
There are 5 fe5/16 according to anj's earlier post

9:41 am

Anj

Baggo, it's a Belgian beer...served in halfs 'cos pints blow your circuits.
Sprite, I can track down Greenwich Brewery's Chocolate Menatime (which is also made with vanilla, yum!) but I can't find any Belgian stuff apart from Chimay :( Are you any wiser??

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

9:41 am

Kallia

Chris p think it is an sl/5 extension to sl/4

9:42 am

Lupe613

Any clues for the fe 8/60?

9:42 am

lola100

bobsta- try adding a vowel to the end of your first fe4/7.

9:42 am

sprite

Leffe is from Belgium, most certainly! Our neighbours :)

9:43 am

Chris P

Kallia - there isn't an sl!

9:43 am

macadam

Bobsta - if you go to your profile and update flag for England, it should change.

9:59 am

Miyawa - hatless is a word. Try it again.

10:00 am

Judi

10:00 am

Any hints 4 the 9? Plz help a fellow Babbler before he goes crazy...

12:01 pm

Punster

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

You are the Goddess of Babble!

12:01 pm

Judi

Sprite, "tenue de ville" means upscale casual. No jeans, t-shirts, etc.

12:02 pm

Punster

Movieman, have you got the t8? Pluralise!!!

12:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wow, am very impressed indeedy Anj...more than I bothered to do. Gah...I blame the lead singer of Dir en Grey...scarily obscure. Also just scary.

12:04 pm

lola100

Lotti- behave!!!
Punster- you are welcome :)
Anj- I have a sister.....?

12:04 pm

begrery

tagless is a word! as much as ha7*** is. it's driving me nuts! anyone have a list of t's?

12:05 pm

Anj

Lotti don't! I like down-to-earth and low maintenance just means sommon sense to me.
Besides, i'm in the job market so you never know ;)

12:05 pm

lola100

Gosh, sorry about leaving my favourite word in the S's! The little box jumps around when the log refreshes :(

12:05 pm

Judi

I give up. Need clues for the E7-32 and the T7-32. Much obliged.

12:06 pm

movieman

Still missing three of the 7's...ha7/40x2 & se7/52...

12:07 pm

lottijw

What type of job you looking for Anj? Or am I being too nosey "again"?

12:08 pm

Judi

Movieman: Ha7-40 -- No lid on your head.

12:08 pm

Anj

The Japanese market is weird tho' Miyavi_fan. I think only MCM, Loudness, Shonen Knife plus a few more recent acts have ever broken out. You should try listening to Johnny Panic, Crucified Barbara or Turbonegro. Same sort of stuff :)

12:08 pm

Alleyn

What aids do you all use? Am struggling here.........

12:08 pm

movieman

judi - the ea7 is the plural of baby birds of prey, and the t7 is a line, curve, or surface meeting another line, curve, or surface at a common point...

Lotti, not sure yet. Still enjoing this too much and I don't want to grab any old work that comes along. I want to do something enjoyable. The last 3 years were pretty stressful at times...spent most of my time at airports :( Sounds jet set, but 180 flights in that period ground me down.

Miyavi_fan

Depends Alikat...ARE you into japanese music?! *fingers crossed*

12:37 pm

lola100

*sigh* Anj, I have regressed to earlier confused state :(

12:37 pm

Krys10

alikat, people who play here are respectful to each other and try not to be rude. if you don't want to play by those rules, please go 'way.

12:38 pm

McNaStud

Well, i for one am a fan... my Fav is Bing Shing Wing Ding... by the Yellow RingDingTings

trust me she is

12:40 pm

roncook

stuff this i,m out of here for din dins
ta,ra

12:40 pm

sfneil

ha7/64: 1st syllable sounds like what you get if you divide something equally with one other person. 2nd syllable sounds like a plural diminuitive.

Hope that helps some!

12:41 pm

suebhoney

swmbo: you don't happen to be unchellmatt's swmbo do you?

12:41 pm

swmbo

and we are supposed to be able to just intuit that you are kidding each other?

12:41 pm

lola100

Anj- two left to finish the puzzle? *whimper*

12:42 pm

Anj

Miyavi_fan, how did you get into MYV? Is it thru' anime/manga and all that??

12:42 pm

swmbo

sorry, I don't knw a unchellmatt.

Does that mean I am not the only swmbo??? Woe is me!

12:42 pm

alikat

who uses "intuit" in a sentence, yes i'm joking!

12:43 pm

Krys10

alikat - 'kay. we have had a lot of new people on here in recent weeks who get nasty right off the bat. and i'm touchy today too - bad sleep. sorry i jumped on you.

12:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

Uh...my friend hayley got me into j-rock. Now nobody can get me OUT of j-rock. But Miyavi, dir en grey and Ajikan are my special faves. Worth learning japanese for!

12:43 pm

swmbo

I guess I use it. Never did before, but it seemed to fit. Now you should lighten up!

12:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

Though I do have a lurve for anime and manga. Uzumaki...SCARY BISCUITS! Also a love for FMA *hangs head*

12:44 pm

suebhoney

swmbo: sadly you are not the only one. I'd love to be the only suebhoney, but alas, my nick is normally taken in most places, unless I get there first. I was lucky here :D

12:44 pm

alikat

i did lighten up- always have been "light" that's why i use "ahole" in a sentence and you use "intuit"

12:45 pm

lola100

swmbo- I've started using the oddest words since playing this game, maybe it's the babble curse!!!

12:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

There's a curse on babble!? *runs away*

12:45 pm

swmbo

hahahaha, lets try not to intuit a-holes then

12:46 pm

sprite

Too late, miyavi, you already got it!

12:47 pm

alikat

i guess i shouldn't have started my babble debut with- mcnastud, you ahole. probably not the BEST impression. but if you knew me, you would know that's just the way i talk and ahole is actually an endearing term -BUT right now, i'm arguing with a name on a screen, so this is retarded. sorry if i offended. i'll play nice i promise. now...back to trying to kick mcnastuds bootie

12:47 pm

Hey Anj, you have a list of T's? i am only missing three

CadFan, I think so, but the word also refers to guns ;)

12:57 pm

swmbo

Could someone give me a clue to the ha7/64? I tried to figure out sfneil's clue but I couldn't get it...

12:57 pm

alikat

can i just say that i suck at this game? i'm using like 4 letters peasant words....i only have 54 words...how many are there total?

12:58 pm

sprite

218 in total, alikat, and we all started out like that. ;)

12:58 pm

sfneil

CadFan as far as I can tell yes, they are the same.

12:58 pm

Anj

Lola, is she like you? Come on, you piqued my curiosity and now you're batting me about like a cat with curtain tassle lol Stop playing with your food lol

12:59 pm

lottijw

LOL!

12:59 pm

CadFan

okey dokey, thanks. still doesn't help me find that word though. But I learned something new today

12:59 pm

alikat

i'm not a babblevirgin...i'm just inexperienced ;)

12:59 pm

Anj

Alikat, 218 in total, but only about 70 or so are in common usage so your 54 is looking good.

1:00 pm

Munner

Munner also begs another clue for ha 7/64. Por favor...

1:00 pm

Punster

Down to my last word. it's a f5.
I have fa5/16, fa5/22, fe5/16x3.
Just one clue is all I need.
Prayers...lol

1:00 pm

lola100

LOL! No, not really. She thinks I am insane to spend hours every day looking for words on a computer screen, but then again maybe that is how the normal people think!

1:00 pm

alikat

218?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm doomed.

1:00 pm

sprite

At least you've got still some room for improvement, alikat. That's a beautiful thing :)

1:00 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wah! I'm a babblevirgin...my very first day today *^_^*

1:00 pm

Sheila Rae

Sheila Rae still clueless on ha7/64

1:01 pm

lola100

Aah, but punster, I know that as soon as I help you you will leave ;)

1:02 pm

alikat

pouting.......anj! common usage? what are you saying? i know big words I DO I SWEAR...like um....INTUIT see? that's GyNORMOUS :)

1:02 pm

sfneil

CadFan I'm sorry I can't come up with a better clue... it's a peculiar word!

1:02 pm

CadFan

Oh it's okay - I'm low functioning today anyway

1:03 pm

lola100

punster- there are 4 x fe5/16's. What have you got?

1:03 pm

Anj

lol alikat...trust me, some of these will tie you up in knots.
The secret is to use help like the partial letters look-up on
www.a2zwordfinder.com

1:04 pm

alikat

CHEATER ;)

1:04 pm

sprite

Ha7/64
last 4 letters = one of your fe4/7s.
first 3 letters: sounds like "one part of something devided in 2" or like "possess".

1:04 pm

sfneil

CadFan try this: take your ha5/16 and stick a double consonant in the middle of it.

1:04 pm

Miyavi_fan

Uh...anyone got any hints for me? I am, after all, blond. Please? And quite a dim blond at that. Rescue poor little me!

1:05 pm

sprite

I am afraid I am too dumb to be blonde. Can't help you there :)

1:07 pm

Krys10

The blonde excuse is beginning to lose its power with me - Sprite calls blonde all the time, and she's always helping me out of jams :)

1:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

Too dumb to be blond?! Woah, you got it bad. No offense. *hangs head* Though I am quite spectacularly rubbish at this game. Been trying for ages but have only got 30 words! ~shame~

1:07 pm

ha7/64 is a scottish word meaning cheek & temple
Two syllables, first sounds like a word for 'divide by 2' but take out the L.
2nd is Boba the bounty hunter less the last T
Put 'em together and you get a ha6...put an S on the end and you get a ha7

Krys10, I am ever so grateful the new grid doesn't come up when I should get some sleep, but in the morning, lol. I couldn't withstand the temptation, I am sure.

1:12 pm

Anj

oh right, sorry :)
ha7/64 means:
- start with the letter H
- second letter is A
- the word contains 7 letters
- and is worth 64 points

4 letter words are face value, 5 = x2, 6 = x3, 7 = x4 etc

Does that help?

1:12 pm

counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either
count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is
right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be
reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards
thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

3:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

I see what you mean...but I prefer to say that he's a pretty boy! I think to enjoy his music you have to be fairly open minded though. (To enjoy dir en grey you don't need to be open minded, you need to be mildly insane)

3:14 pm

smithchick

Dover, Arkansas doesn't even have any exciting t-shirts, alas...

3:35 pm

Anj

Lola Yay! ...and you didn't need my help. Mixed emotions here lol
Yup, going to see them in a couple of weeks with The Subways :)

3:36 pm

3:37 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

i need 3 more grrr!!!!!!

3:37 pm

Anj

Miyavi, it's not as bad as it soundsl. In this country hardcore could be defined as anything that Radio 1 won't play lol

3:37 pm

Dachef

I only started playing this game last week, and Ive just realised that Ive just spent my ENTIRE day off sat in front of my keyboard getting excited about finding a four letter word. This stuff is so addictive it should have a government health warning on it!

3:38 pm

Miyavi_fan

okay, Lozzie...another clue, and this one is including french. (I'm dead cultured, me) to have no chapeau

3:38 pm

Sheila Rae

Okay, my all time high so far 1198! Could someone give me a good clue that will take me over 1200 so I can quit. PLEASE--I must quit!!

3:38 pm

lola100

dachef- LOL! Welcome to the babble inner circle :)

3:39 pm

Dachef

also, is there a particular strategy you guys adopt when trying to complete the puzzle - Ive just been doing it pretty randomly and Im still 40 odd words short?

3:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

hehehehe...well, I can guarantee radio 1 won't be playing DeG!

3:39 pm

lola100

dachef- yes, there is a strategy: eat more chocolate, drink more coffee and beg for help :)

3:40 pm

Anj

Sheila Rae, how about a ta7/32?
Meaning to suddently change the topic of conversation - go off on a T...... :)

3:40 pm

Dachef

sod the coffee, over the course of this one Ive reverted to the jamesons!

3:41 pm

Sheila Rae

thank you, but I have that one. How about the ne6/27?

3:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

*yawns* woah...@_@ I need coffee, now. Gah...only about 200 more words to go...then I'm done!

3:42 pm

3:43 pm

lola100

Or you could do that! Seriously tho', I copy down any posts of letters and use those as a guide. When all else fails try a2zwordfinder.com for the more obscure words :)

3:44 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

cathy have you only dun 18 words?!?!?

3:44 pm

Sheila Rae

What is enjoyable in this site is trying to figure out people's clues. I was bored at first until I began deciphering clues.

3:46 pm

Anj

Sheila Rae, that ne6/27 means tidy, ordered as in handwriting - 'he/she/it* copied the letters n......'

As they say in Mexico, sfneil, Muchos Thankyous!

Er, not so great at posting off the cuff, though, apparently... should be "I'm and old hand..." doh!

5:42 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

OMG IM DUMB!! I GIVE UP ON 2DAYS!

5:45 pm

sfneil

lozzi, you're not dumb! becoming good at puzzles like babble requires a set of specialized skills that take time and practice to develop. If you keep at it, you'll become as good at it as anyone!

5:45 pm

smithchick

You'd think after all those years of watching Three's Company, I'd have gotten the ka6 sooner.

5:47 pm

swmbo

LOL smithchick I watched it too, but the ka6 I have doesn't seem to fit, unless Mr. Furley wore one?

5:52 pm

Jen

The 2 I had left!!!!! I can't belive I missed those!!!!! I am so pi$$ed with myself for missing those! Cheers everyone for your help thru the day! This is my first solo 200 (i.e. hubby didn't come behind me and fill in the blanks)! Have a great night all. :)

5:53 pm

sfneil

Congrats, Jen, on completing your first 'solo'! Have a good night.

5:57 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

im dumb man!

5:57 pm

Queenruejean

SWMBO, slightly different version of Three's Company. Mrs. Roper wore one. Although Mr. Furley may have. You never know!

5:59 pm

Jen

ka6...A full-length garment with elbow-length or long sleeves, worn chiefly in eastern Mediterranean countries. (in the US, it's usually spelled with a C at the beginning)

6:00 pm

swmbo

Oh, yes, i forgot Mrs Roper!!!

6:00 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

i wud lyk 2 apologise sum1 has hacked me and is typin

6:01 pm

swmbo

OK, how about a clue for the ka that is NOT the garment, the electrical one or the 4 letter one that ends on 's'???

6:02 pm

Haz1558

Lozzi, how are you doing with the game? Have you got enough words for your homework?

6:04 pm

sfneil

swmbo, there are 2 ka4s that end in s! (Sorry, I don't know definitions for either.)

6:05 pm

Haz1558

For the rwo ka's ending in s you can either go straight down the grid or veer slightly to the left.

6:06 pm

sfneil

Yeah, they're pretty much the only two possible!

6:06 pm

gingerboydave

hey has ne1 got any gd words for me plz

6:07 pm

Jen

the one that doesn't end in S def:Any of a subgroup of unstable mesons that consist of an electrically charged form with a mass 966 times that of an electron and a neutral form with a mass 974 times that of an electron, produced as a result of a high-energy particle collision
Sorry it's so long, but that's what enable gave me! ;)

6:07 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

Haz ye i do thanks! JUST! but it took me 6 hours and i still only have 20 n i needed 20 but im playin 4 fun now

6:09 pm

Blaze

Okay who said that reality could keep interupting me today.... I am still where I was an hour ago

6:10 pm

Haz1558

Lozzi, glad to hear you've got some words. Keep looking and reading the clues people give. Do you understand how the score works ? Sometimes knowing the numbers helps you to work out the letters you need to make a particular word.

6:10 pm

swmbo

Thank you all! the last ka means the sounds you make when your need to clear your throat LOL

6:12 pm

Blaze

Lozzi how old are you ??

6:15 pm

swmbo

I am still searching for the 9 letter word. Any help? If it is a plural of an 8 letter word, I would need help with that as none of the 8 letter words I have can be pluralised.

6:16 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

14

6:16 pm

Haz1558

To9/54. Another way of saying to add up.

6:17 pm

Blaze

Nine letter word build on to 5/10 it will not make written sense but will get you the nine letter word

6:17 pm

sfneil

swmbo, it's not a plural, but a second person present tense of the t8/40 -- do you have that?. (Looks like a plural, though.)

6:17 pm

Jen

You are doing very well lozzi!!! :)

6:17 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

ahh ma letters r switched rnd im 13 nt 14

6:18 pm

Haz1558

Lozzi, did your English teacher set the homework?

6:18 pm

swmbo

I have the t5/10 but for the life of me I can't find any sensible addition. Did I say SENSIBLE???

6:19 pm

Haz1558

Swmbo - there are lies, dammed lies and statistics...

6:20 pm

sfneil

swmbo, when you want to be general, you general--- same ending (brit spelling, tho')

6:20 pm

Blaze

doyou have the to word that means the end result of adding up numbers ??

6:21 pm

rebe

hiya ppl im rebe !!! how many words has every1 got

6:21 pm

FMitch

if a calculator adds up the t, then the person that adds up the t would be called?

6:21 pm

swmbo

WOW thanx for the help! I was all around it!

6:22 pm

Haz1558

We were all willing you on!

6:23 pm

Blaze

Yeah ...

6:23 pm

Blaze

I need clues for the fe 7/44 and fe 8/60 Pretty please

6:25 pm

sfneil

Blaze, fe7 is " To obtain or achieve by indirect, usually deceitful methods", but it's an unusal (to me) spelling. f8 extends it.

6:25 pm

swmbo

no meaning for the fe7, but a word with a very similar meaning (2nd letter i not e) means To obtain or achieve by indirect, usually deceitful methods or To cheat; swindle. The fe8 is its plural

6:26 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

YE MA ENGLISH TEACHER SET THE HWK

6:26 pm

Haz1558

Rebe - we're all at various stages of trying to find 218 words.

yh i na i just need help lol !!! wots the longhest work u git

6:27 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

6:27 pm

Well, lozzi, I think you did very well for the first time. You shouldn't put yourself down by saying you are dumb because you are NOT!

6:28 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

Yes It took me 6 Hours trying to figure out these codes!!

6:28 pm

Blaze

swmbo thanks I tried the original spelling several times to no avail... no I am only 58 words away and reality is striking again.

Ms placed hang in there you will get it...check out the rules and then just start looking for words.. the chat log always has clues and info too....

6:31 pm

Haz1558

Lozzi - go to bed, get a good night's rest and hopefully when you do the puzzle again you'll have a better idea of what is going on and you'll enjoy it more.

6:32 pm

MsPlaced - get out while you can - this game is very adictive LOL

Msplaced - Welcome to the madhouse! This game is confusing at first but is totally adictive. The chatline is good fun, people are very helpful & there are some great clues. Enjoy!

6:35 pm

MsPlaced1961

thank you snow

6:35 pm

FMitch

Longest word in this grid is 9 letters

6:35 pm

Haz1558

The longest word is a 9 letter word, starting with to and givng 54 points. It means to add up. See if you can find it.

6:36 pm

snowyowl

Night lozzi, sweet dreams

6:37 pm

Haz1558

Rebe - if you look further down the chat log, there are lots of other people's clues for the 9 letter word.

6:39 pm

kristin

anyone seen brandyjack today? he has great clues!

6:42 pm

kristin

ok going to try my luck again - any clues for the se7?

6:42 pm

swmbo

Well, 84 words to go, but I must retire form the field.

Nytol!

6:42 pm

rebe

just tell me wat the nine letter word
says plz

6:43 pm

sfneil

se7 is plural of se6/36

6:43 pm

kristin

well unfortunately I don't have that one either!

6:44 pm

MsPlaced1961

so confused what does se/6 mean?

6:45 pm

sfneil

se6/36 is something that brings out or enhances something else by contrast

6:45 pm

Haz1558

Se6/36 means a word that begins with se, is 6 letters long, and has a score of 36 points.

6:46 pm

kristin

se6/36 - means the first two letters are se, its 6 letters long and worth 36 points - check out the rules link on the top right for help

6:46 pm

Jacula

Hello fellow babblers. I'm all done at 218 words for 2938 points. Anyone want any clues for anything before I go?

6:47 pm

Haz1558

sfneil - brilliant clue!

6:48 pm

sfneil

Thanks, Haz1558! Hope it helps Kristin!

6:49 pm

kristin

well unfortunately no, and with oneacross.com not working either, it makes it that much harder - i'll keep trying though sfneil!

6:50 pm

sfneil

also, if you take the first 3 and last 3 letters of se6/36 as two separate words, it sounds like what you do when you start out or embark on a journey

6:50 pm

Jacula

se6/36 - Good clue sfneil. If that's not clear enough then you could think of it as a compound word (2 or more words put together) and something that you might do to a firework or to begin a journey.

6:51 pm

Haz1558

Jacula, you've kept awfully quiet tonight. Were you feeling anti-social or just determined to finish?

6:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Haz. Are you saying I'm a chatterbox? LOL. I've been busy all day and so have done most of the puzzle on paper first. Then I spent from 9pm-10.30pm watching '49Up' on ITV (a programme I've followed since it began in 1964).

6:55 pm

Haz1558

Did you enjoy the programme? I've seen a few of them but wasn't free to watch this evening.

6:56 pm

MsPlaced1961

OMG I got the se word finally lol thanks for the clues, will return later, maybe I can see more words

6:56 pm

snowyowl

goodnight all- retiring early tonight with 77 words to go
but have 3 grandchildren under 6 for the next 2 nights and need all the sleep Ican get! Good luck and happy babbling

6:57 pm

Jacula

Yes, Haz., it was interesting to see what had become, or was becoming of the people. The second part is on same time next week if you've time to watch it. I'm hoping that the chap who was ill and homeless 7 years ago is now on the up. We'll find out next week.

6:57 pm

sfneil

Oh, Jacula, that's a great series. The last one I saw I think was '42 Up'. I've seen them all but this last one, which will hopefully air here sometime soon. How's everyone doing?

6:58 pm

sfneil

Never mind, you answered while I was posting!

6:59 pm

Jacula

Goodnight SnowyOwl. You'll need your rest! Have a good time with your grandchildren.

7:01 pm

snowyowl

Thanks Jacula I know I will. Once they're abed tomorow I'll be babbling so hope to link up then

7:01 pm

I'll post a link to an article about the 49Up programme, sfneil.
http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,

7:07 pm

Jacula

I cut the link onto 2 lines in the hope that it wouldn't 'burst' the chat log like someone's link to yesterday.

7:08 pm

Jacula

Well done, Kristin. The more you play, the more you get used to finding the words.

7:09 pm

sfneil

Thank you, Jacula! That looks very interesting!

Goodnight, ExWren!

Haz1558

Time for bed. I'm at that stage when frustration sets in that there's no r to make fork, no o to make elision and no e to make ageless. Good night all.

7:16 pm

sfneil

Goodnight, Haz1558!

7:18 pm

Jacula

Goodnight Haz & ExWren. Sleep well.

7:22 pm

oggy

is there a ha7/64, is so any clues before i retire for the night please its driving me mad.

7:25 pm

mab

Has brandyjack posted his list yet, please? I would look back but this site has been behaving so strangely today. I'll only go back if I know he's posted. It may just be me, but isn't this grid especially annoying today?

7:26 pm

kristin

don't think brandyjacks been on all day, but it was posted first thing this morning by someone else.

7:26 pm

Jacula

Today's 'Not There But I Still Keep Seeing Them' words were: gentlefolk, confess, gutless, falter, tinsel, agent, silly, lesion, sofa, fake, takes, annotate, issue, effete, offend, baffle, ugly, listen, glisten, yetis, yeast.

We had a Greek cheese but no 'Stilton'.

We weren't allowed to 'naff' or 'laff'.

We couldn't go to 'Eton' or watch 'Tenko' with 'Tessie', 'Anton', 'Anne' & 'Offa'. Neither could we ring 'OFTEL' nor view the radiant brow of 'Taliesin'.

7:27 pm

sfneil

oggy, there is an ha7/64, and it's a very peculiar word. Apparently it is scots for "sidelocks", which seem to be the same as either "cheeks" or "sideburns", but i suspect that is little help.

The first syllable sounds like what you get if you divide something equally with one other person. The second syllable sounds like a plural diminuitive.

7:28 pm

kristin

What about feng as in feng shui??

7:29 pm

sfneil

lol, Jacula!

7:29 pm

mab

Oh, Talieson would be fine. there are no gentlefolk or lenses, not even a pair of glasses. It's the grid of a thousand potential, almost words.

7:30 pm

Jacula

LOL, Kristen. Now you've got me seeing 'Ferengi' in the grid!

Oh, I forgot. It seems 'henge' isn't a word either. In that case, I've no idea what those stone circles at Avebury and Salisbury Plain etc could be!

7:33 pm

oggy

thanks, but still cant get it going to bed instead, happy babbling

7:34 pm

kristin

jacula - drives me nuts it takes some words that have NO definition, yet doesn't take henge or feng!

7:34 pm

Jacula

Oggy - (Clue coming up) - Sorry it 'affects' you like that but if you remove a 'see' you will find the word.

7:36 pm

kristin

Jacula - now that is a clue I understand - thanks I was missing that one too and it was my last 7 word!

7:36 pm

Jacula

Kristin - I know, but we have to go with the dictionary used by the game.

7:36 pm

mab

Good clue. Thanks Jacula. I still feel hately about this grid however. It is the hateliest grid I've seen yet.

7:37 pm

Jacula

Oh, I dunno Mab. Last Sunday's was a corker at nearly 400 words.

7:38 pm

Jacula

'Hately'. I like that word. It's like 'fegubrious' (a word I made up about the grid a while ago).

My Hero!!!

7:40 pm

sfneil

'night, oggy.

7:41 pm

Jacula

Hi Jack! (I'm allowed to say that to him 'cos it's how people greet me, too. I just tell 'em never to say it to me on a plane.)

I've got a net friend called 'Jean' and we chat with a guy called 'Rick'. So, after he's said 'Hi Jacq' and 'Hi Jean', we reply with 'Hey Rick'. LOL.

7:41 pm

brandyjack

What, no friend called Jynx?

7:42 pm

Jacula

Nos dda Oggy.

7:42 pm

Jacula

Not so far, Jack. LOL.

7:43 pm

Jacula

Oops! Slipped a double d in there (not the beer or the bra!) meant nos da.

7:46 pm

mab

Thanks, Jack. Someone earlier today posted all of the second letters with point values, which was very kind, but I so much prefer yours. The other makes the game too easy.

7:47 pm

brandyjack

it won't take feng or henge, but it takes ag4/8??????

7:49 pm

kristin

where you been brandyjack - you've been quiet today

7:50 pm

brandyjack

Crashed before game started and just been too busy cooking breakfast, driving brat to school, work, shopping, cooking supper, cleaning up the mess, driving everyone everywhere. Finally got a few hours to meself. Only till the other half gets home then it's back on the road again for me.....

7:51 pm

mab

Oh, sfneil! I mean no offense at all to you. Your list was amazing and very kindly meant. Thank you for it. I guess I just have a thing for Cappie's list because I've become so accustomed to it.

7:53 pm

sfneil

No offense taken, mab! I offered, and there was some demand, so I posted it. I figured people who wanted more of a challenge could ignore it.

7:53 pm

kristin

Now if my husband would have been even half the man you are, I'd have stayed married - your wife is a lucky woman!

7:54 pm

mab

You want a valet, chef, and driver, brandyjack.

7:54 pm

brandyjack

I like the point socres on the big words. Makes them findable even if you don't know what them high falutin' things means.......

7:55 pm

Jacula

Mab - I sometimes post 2nd letter lists up. They can be a great help. Mind you, I do most of the puzzle on paper before I key the words in. That way, I can carry it around with me as I get on with my chores.

7:56 pm

brandyjack

I prefer my own cooking, I WILL do my own driving (the rest o' you lot are dangerous), and as for having some guy show up in my room when I'm not dressed. Uh, NO.

7:56 pm

Jacula

I actually got the fe7 & 8 because I remember my Mum using the words.

7:58 pm

Jacula

Jack - Me and my partner are pretty good cooks and so when we go out for a meal we often find ourselves saying, 'We could have done this better at home!'

7:59 pm

brandyjack

I won't go to places like that......

7:59 pm

mab

And they are great. Whenever someone posts a list I refer to it, in fact I become overly dependent on them. I think it's very generous to post such lists, I don't mean to denigrate them at all.

8:00 pm

brandyjack

Thanks for the clues to the fe's Jac...

8:01 pm

mab

Fuunny, I don't mind so much when men show up in my bedroom...

8:01 pm

Jacula

Jack - I didn't give you any clues?? Or are you asking for some in a roundabout way?

8:02 pm

Jacula

LOL Mab.

8:02 pm

brandyjack

Oh, but you did. And I only have 54 words so far, most of them in the a's and f's, and you can see where some bloody scotsman has been tramping all over the puzzle.....

8:03 pm

Jacula

Yes, it is rather a tartan puzzle today, Jack.:-)

8:06 pm

brandyjack

For the Fe's I was looking for something along the lines of ferocius or festive. Your comment about your mum told me exactly what to look for........ Just about broke my eyestalks off twisting about to find them, but in the end......

8:10 pm

Jacula

I saw someone bewailing the fact that you can't be 'antless' earlier: 'On woe is me! Where is my ant?' You can't be 'gentless' either (which won't please Mab). LOL. It also seems you can't have less of those pesky little gn4 &5's either, or less of those little kids (to4/4's). You can, however, be bereft of warmth and have no head covering(ha4/7) but you're not allowed to have no handle on your tool or weapon (ha4/10), or to be without cigarettes (the UK slang word for them which means something else entirely in the USA).

8:14 pm

Jacula

There's a bird of prey and more than one bird of prey. EEE! And their baby and babies.

8:15 pm

floradivine

as much as i hear "eat less" i could have sworn it was a word. :o)

8:15 pm

Jacula

That Sicilian volcano's erupting again.

8:15 pm

brandyjack

it is, but it's a curse word.....

8:16 pm

Jacula

Surely you're not talking about the 'effs', Jack?

8:19 pm

brandyjack

Just any dieter......

8:19 pm

Dr_God

Sorry for the brief Babble burb. Everyone refresh to get rid of any gremlins.

8:20 pm

Jacula

Done that thanks, Dr_God. How's it going?

8:21 pm

Jacula

LOL, Floradivine. Try adding an 'h'.

8:21 pm

Dr_God

Does anyone have any feedback (good or bad) on the new Prev 50/Next 50 chat log feature?

8:22 pm

brandyjack

I've learned to turn off the icons before trying to read anything beyond the first fifty.....

8:23 pm

Jacula

Mine's bad feedback, I'm sorry to say. Damned thing kept jumping everytime anyone posted, making it impossible to read or to c&p good clues to notepad.

8:23 pm

Dr_God

brandyjack-

Even with the new "50 per page" feature?

8:24 pm

Jacula

Haven't tried turning off the icons. Will try that later.

8:24 pm

Dr_God

Jacula-

Yeah. I'll be fixing that soon hopefully.

8:25 pm

sfneil

Dr God, I think it's very much an improvement. One can page through the log and have each page load completely quite quickly now.

8:25 pm

brandyjack

Have to admit I haven't tried that yet. Sort of noted it's existence, but hadn't thought of it's usefulness, having given up on trying to read the entire list.....

8:25 pm

torgone

What sfneil said. I like it.

8:27 pm

brandyjack

It is a handy feature, blindingly fast too.

8:27 pm

Jacula

Dr_God (and the rest of you). I enjoy that chat log for its clues and banter almost as much as doing the puzzle. I tend to read through it in its entirety after I've logged in and keyed in all the words I've done on paper.

8:29 pm

brandyjack

Definitely not used to being disconnected like this. Don't like it much either...

8:29 pm

torgone

While you're here, D_G, have you seen the occurances of overlength posts forcing the word list to the bottom?

8:30 pm

Dr_God

torgone-

I haven't. When was the last one?

8:30 pm

torgone

..apparently only in IE..

8:30 pm

Jacula

Yes, Jack. I shut the site down and opened it up again to get restarted. Pressing F5 just didn' work. I've also found that the site's natural refresh has slowed down so much that I have to press F5 to see what I've just posted.

8:31 pm

torgone

Earlier today, about 1:30ish I think.

8:31 pm

sfneil

I have noticed a delay in seeing my latest post show up.

8:31 pm

Jacula

Torgone. Yes, I believe that does only happen on IE. I come through Firefox to this site.

8:31 pm

Dr_God

Jacula-

When you post, it sometimes doesn't automatically show up. It will only show up the next time the chat log auto-updates itself. This can be 10-15 seconds sometimes.

8:32 pm

baggo

hello all....glad to see that i just needed to refresh, i had no words listed. dr_god since i see that you're on here, the new next to 50 has some glitches, and maybe that is what you're working on. i had trouble this am, and i got rid of the icons, i always do when i open the whole log, but it kept moving when i was trying to read and then i would have to go to the next page sometimes, kinda weird, but i guess something i could get used to...

8:33 pm

Jacula

Sorry Dr_God. I guess I'm just an impatient Taurean type. LOL. 'I want it and I want it now.'

8:34 pm

Dr_God

I see what you guys mean about long (or wide) posts. It's actually caused by loooooooong words (longer than the chat log is wide.) I'll have to do something so that long words like that wrap rather than stick out the right side of the log.

8:35 pm

Jacula

I'm no expert web-site builder, Dr_God, but I think the site's new popularity may mean that you have to separate the chat log and have it on a side bar that we have to click onto. I may be talking absolute twaddle, of course!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, the 'wide' thing happens on many message boards and forums if someone goes a bit mad with ???'s or !!!'s or ---- etc.

8:38 pm

Jacula

Hello Baggo.

8:38 pm

Dr_God

Ok. I fixed Anj's "wide" post from ealier. So if you refresh, everything should look normal. (Unless there's another wide post somewhere.)

8:39 pm

baggo

hey jacula, what's up?

8:40 pm

Dr_God

My last post assumes you are currently viewing the entire chat log (which I doubt many of you are.)

8:40 pm

Jacula

Don't think there's another wide post, Dr_God. I split my web site addy (for a write up on the programme 49Up) when I posted it. BTW, it is okay to post something like that, isn't it?

8:40 pm

baggo

dr_god, while you're here and maybe granting wishes, do you think that maybe there would be a way to put a box to let people list the big words that they have found, this might save on double posts...you could click it on or not if you didn't want to see it...

8:43 pm

Jacula

Baggo - don't you think that the clue giving is one of the most fun parts, after the initial rush of first seeing the grid? People are so inventive and entertaining in the way they give clues. But, like you say, not everyone wants to read that. Having said that, the option to hide the log is there, or you can just presss your middle mouse button and 'WHIZZ'.

8:43 pm

Dr_God

baggo-

I'm not sure that warrants taking up screen real-estate. ;)

8:44 pm

baggo

very true.. ;)

8:45 pm

Jacula

As we chat, Jack's plugging away at the words I'll bet.:-)

8:45 pm

baggo

yeah jacula i see what you mean. i didn't see your post, before i replied to the great one. i enjoy giving clues, trying to think up fun ones is a great part of this game..

8:46 pm

brandyjack

Seems to be nicer connection after the three-finger salute...

8:47 pm

Jacula

3 finger salute? You've lost me there, Jack.:-(

8:48 pm

baggo

eye eye captain....

8:50 pm

Jacula

Why am I now singing that Captain Birdseye song? Damn! Now I'm thinking about fish finger sarnies, with a bit of salt & vinegar. No! I will NOT be tempted. Gotta lose weight before next July (when we're off to a quiet part of Crete).

8:52 pm

brandyjack

CTRL-ALT-DELETE.

8:52 pm

baggo

Don't do it Jacula...;) i'm so jealous, you guys are quite closer to such beautiful things. Not that we aren't here, but oh my the countryside...i'd love to visit crete. i think venice would be great...

8:52 pm

Jacula

Anyone want a few more clues yet?

8:53 pm

baggo

f's are killing me

8:54 pm

baggo

an 5/10, got the one that deals with poker

8:55 pm

Jax

Sure Jac - I need the last se 5/10 if you will. thanks

8:55 pm

baggo

brandyjack, did you do your second letter post???

8:55 pm

brandyjack

it's a plural of the a4/4

8:56 pm

brandyjack

baggo - yes i did. less than an hour ago.

8:56 pm

brandyjack

It's still in the 'next 50' of the chat log.

8:56 pm

baggo

ok thanks...i got that one, need the other one...

8:58 pm

Jacula

se5/10. American saint who has featured in this grid before. Failing that, in times gone by' workers would be 'se* **' .

9:00 pm

brandyjack

Well, the poker one is the one you have, so the other one is middle english. Is a preposition similar to about. Not used much now. I can't even think of a rhyme or anagram.

9:01 pm

Jax

Thanks Jacula - then realized I had that one. Now I have to hunt (as usual) to find which one I need. 1 to go

9:02 pm

Jax

Just to double check -the total is 218 right? If so I'm done. I will offer to help but it seems Jacula has you covered! (and me too)

9:06 pm

Jacula

Clues for f's so far:

fa4/7 - a place dedicated to a deity (God).
fa4/8 - a sharp tooth (like Dracula has).
fa4/7 - what befalls you.
fa5/16 - plural of the above.
fa7/40 - the kind of food dieters seek, and also seek to BE.
fa5/22 - How the non-dieters go about.
fa4/7 - What dieters and heart patients should avoid.

9:15 pm

Jacula

continuing on with the 'f' clues:

fe4/7 - it means 'faith' but think of little male cattle kept in the dark for making pale met & change the 1st letter.

fe6/36 - an oath of fidelity made by a vassal to his feudal loard.

fe4/7 - an act of skill, endurance, imagination or strength.

fe6/36 - adriot or dexterous, neat & trim.

fe5/16 - plural of fe4/7.

9:19 pm

baggo

bless you Jacula, got them all!!! thanks brandyjack found that word by noodling what i didn't think was a word. i've seen that word on here before...ty ty

9:20 pm

Jacula

Do I need to continue with the 'f' clues now?

9:22 pm

baggo

not for me...thanks so very much. funny how you see a ton that you didn't realize were there after a point in the right direction

9:23 pm

Jacula

Know just what you mean Baggo. That happened to me earlier with the birds of prey.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Any more clues anyone?

9:28 pm

torgone

This is not going well...70 words left...bleh!

9:28 pm

baggo

i'm good just little words now, need to noodle..thanks jacula...love the hair by the way...

9:29 pm

lianakate

I just came back after being gone all day..and, lol..poker thing?..like, full house..or what.?

9:29 pm

brandyjack

As in term for your bid...

9:30 pm

Jacula

'Up the an**'.

9:30 pm

baggo

lianakate...did you go straight to the gutter on that one??? lol

9:30 pm

lianakate

so with an A, eh?

9:31 pm

Jacula

Baggo - Thanks. It is one of my many wigs for themed weekends away.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Hi LianaKate. Have you been back to SWMBO's place yet?

Also, Jack, did you manage to find your way back in there?

9:33 pm

lianakate

okay..i am lost..back to swmbo's place?..and baggo..lol, mebbe so.

9:33 pm

Jacula

Plural of your an4/4, Kate.

9:33 pm

baggo

lianakate, just nice to know i got company in the gutter.... ;)

9:33 pm

lianakate

ohhhhh..i have that..duh
ty, jac :)

9:34 pm

brandyjack

Same problem, no way to recover the password for Brandyjack. Too stubborn to use another nick. Same reason I'm not on AIM or Yahoo.

9:34 pm

Jacula

Blimey Kate, she stsarted it for you. But you didn't get there?

9:35 pm

Jacula

Jack - don't be so damned stubborn! We want you there!

9:35 pm

lianakate

well, ..i have decided to keep away from this puzzle..with the exception of two hours a day..am not getting anything done..Today i came on for an hour this AM, came back on just now, and found another word..BUT, am not gonna try to finish it..am crazy enough as it is!!!!!!

9:36 pm

Jacula

Wasnt 'chivas' was it, Jack? LOL.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Kate - put the grid down on paper when you get up and just do the words as you can, then check your dictionary. Only come on-line after that.

9:37 pm

brandyjack

Perhaps one end of the horse..........

9:38 pm

Jacula

Jack, I can't believe 'withers' was your password. LOL.

9:40 pm

lianakate

i still dont get the swmbo thing, Jac..And, i found another word..just noodling..I think i still need 80..ack

9:40 pm

brandyjack

It might not even be my account. I think it is, but not sure. There is one other guy uses the same nick, but we don't usually cross paths..........

9:41 pm

Jacula

Dr_God never told me whether posting site names was okay or not - though I did ask.

http://p105.ezboard.com/bbabblersanonymous

9:42 pm

Jacula

Jack - there's being cautious and then there's being paranoid. You can retrieve your original password from the site.

9:44 pm

brandyjack

You don't understand. The site is made with a client known as EZBoard which has a global database. As in worldwide. SWMBO has NO access to that database, and the owners aren't going to turn over an account with out proof as dictated by their secret questions. All of which I have failed repeatedly.

9:46 pm

lianakate

arghhhhhhhhhhh..am confused!! I tried that site..nada. Then i read brndyjacks message..i hate not being in the know..(which is my wont..lol)

9:46 pm

Jacula

Oh. Failed on purpose or failed, Jack? I ask because I am the cautious type myself. There are 9 of us on site now, when I just checked.

9:46 pm

brandyjack

Just spent 15 minutes looking for that fe6/36 before realising my missing one is the fe6/27...Ack..

9:47 pm

lianakate

anyhooooooooo...am retiring for the night. Be well, and safe my friends!

9:48 pm

Jacula

Kate. Google the site and then go to the blue underlined link after the bit that says we have no iformation on that site.

9:48 pm

torgone

cya kate!

9:48 pm

baggo

fe/27 fun loving, gay joyful, jolly....

9:49 pm

Jacula

Of or relating to fetes and festivals.

9:52 pm

baggo

cya kate..

jacula...couldn't get it either, not that i am supposed to as i think you must be invited..but...nosy like lianakate...

9:54 pm

Jacula

No you don't have to be invited. You can read it without being invited (which is not what I would choose for any site I set up). The inauguration process is rather long though. Not SWMBO's fault... just the board she chose. Myself, I'd have gone for an other chatboard or even an MSN room.

9:56 pm

Jacula

Any more clues anyone?

9:59 pm

mab

Jacula, I need two ge 5's. I have the normal ones. Would you mind a clue?

9:59 pm

torgone

How about the li7/40, miss?

10:01 pm

Jacula

The 2 ge5's - one is a large jib used on a racing yacht, but you might know it better as a type of sponge cake. The other is 2 or more men.

10:03 pm

mab

Thanks Jacqs. hately grid!

10:03 pm

Jacula

Extend your li4/7. Means most beloved, most dear etc., etc. It's the kind of word you'd most likely find in a Will Shakespeare play.

10:05 pm

Jacula

I didn't find it that hately, Mab.

10:06 pm

Jacula

It's been a 'classics' students' grid.

10:07 pm

baggo

very true, jacula...

10:08 pm

torgone

"The Classics" for me is the Goon Show, or Marx Bros.

10:08 pm

mab

That, my dear, is because you are infinitely better at this than I am. This is why I don't want to become list-dependent -- I want to actually improve my whatever, puzzle skill.

10:11 pm

torgone

Got it, Ms. Jacula! Thank Yew! I just learned a new word. Just 63 to go now....*sigh*

10:13 pm

Jacula

Well, Mab, the way to do that is to look up the meanings of the weird words you find, my Dad dying of senile dementia certainly taught me the lesson, if I didn't and he didn't know it before (though we both did know it) that keeping you mind jumping is the best way of staying alive.

10:15 pm

Jacula

Clues anyone?

10:16 pm

baggo

very true jacula, keeping your mind sharp is what my dad would call it. i have not only learned a multitude of new words from this game, but also from players in the chat log who call things differently in whatever their part of the world may be. I even have learned of new music that i had not heard of...boy i love this game..

10:16 pm

mab

Yes, I think so too. I'm sorry you had to lose your father in that way, by degrees. That's sad.

10:17 pm

torgone

se7/52?
I'm missing so many, I'll take what I can get at this point.

10:18 pm

mab

Baggo! You're wonderful. And a Babblemaster too!

10:20 pm

baggo

ty mab, don't know about the master part, i just have a new addiction since my brother turned me onto this game in february. i don't think 100 people played then..maybe 150 at most, took forever to move up in the ranks...

10:20 pm

Jacula

se7 is plural of your se6/36. What you might have done to many fireworks or to get on with many journeys.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Still takes for bleedin' ever to get up the ranks, And I still can't work out whether or not it is better to try and fail or neve to have tried at all. LOL.

10:22 pm

brandyjack

Well, can't keep my eyes open any more. Night all..

10:22 pm

baggo

i can't believe that a group of hoodlums is the last word that i had to put in, i thought that i entered that hours ago.

10:23 pm

baggo

night brandy....

10:23 pm

mab

Night Jack.

10:23 pm

baggo

oops that will be me when i finish the glass...night jack..lol

10:23 pm

Jacula

Baggo - you are not alone. I enter words and it tells me they are not valid. So, I wonder to myself, 'Was I not awake? Did I type it in wrong?'

10:25 pm

Jacula

Night, Jack. Sleep well and awake to a new 'taxi guy' day. That's family life, that is. And we love it!

10:27 pm

torgone

TYVM Jacula. More words I should have seen. Ah well, some days you get the bear; some days the bear gets you.

10:29 pm

baggo

you know jacula, about your question earlier it's always better to try something and give it your all, maybe to fail, but at least you don't regret not having tried or done it....

10:31 pm

Jacula

That's true, Baggo.

10:32 pm

torgone

Not like it matters, but I have to weigh in with baggo on that. In hindsight, the things I regret most are the times I didn't try, without worrying about the consequences.

10:33 pm

Dianne

Hi All - looking for AN5 (not the poker pot) and AL4 not the voice, brew or language word. Any clues? Please.

10:34 pm

Jacula

Bit it does matter, Torgone. If our species had never tried (and failed) at things, we'd never be where we are now. Whether we're doing ourselves or the planet any good at the point we are now is a moot point.

10:36 pm

mab

Jacula, are we talking about a town in Italy for the ge 5?

10:37 pm

baggo

no voice ones...the low female one and Pitched in the first octave above the treble staff; high

10:37 pm

baggo

should say there are 2 voice ones...

10:39 pm

torgone

Dianne - an5/10 is an archaic or business term for "concerning" or "regarding"

10:40 pm

baggo

i agree that some failure is good and to try try again. i just have a brother right now living with regrets over my father's death, and its put him in a dark hole. i for one don't have that as i listened to the voice the night before he died and called him..what a wonderful conversation...(just an fyi)

10:41 pm

Vin

Greetings, all; I'm new here. You'll find me climbing the ranks from the multi-hundreds to the less hundreds, but never fear, I will never have the time or inclination to chase you topfeeders -- too busy with the job and the wife to do this more than an hour or so once in a while. It is a heckuvalotta fun, though, so I had to say "hi" to my fellow geeks. a be lab ae la ab el babe ebb alb al blab abbe ale bale lea able ba!

10:42 pm

mab

It's a pleasure to meet you Vin.

10:44 pm

mab

Baggo: That's lovely, what you just posted. I strongly believe in listening with one's whole being.

10:45 pm

Dianne

torgone - thanks for the help - I got the AN word.
Any clues for the NO6 and NE5?

10:45 pm

torgone

Heya Vin! Welcome to Philosophy Corner. What's your take? Better to have loved (tried) and lost, or never to have loved (tried) at all? Also kick down with any clues on the big words.

10:47 pm

mab

Jeez...How predatory, Torgone. Not that I know you or anything and not that I'm judging, just an observation.

10:49 pm

baggo

hiya vin...

10:51 pm

mab

I think you scared him off, Torgone, you brute. With amusement I say this.

10:51 pm

baggo

ty mab for your note...

dianne....ne5 pl ne 4/4

no6 means cognition, (the ending is what a brother may call the female....ter)

10:53 pm

torgone

Dianne, I don't have the no6. The ne5 I have is the plural of "orderly."

mab - Predatory? I am excedingly satirical and sarcastic in my posts, all in fun. Just joking. Trying to have fun. ha ha.

10:54 pm

baggo

torgone, u always bring wonderful insight with you...just read your profile how great....mines so boring...vin...not that it's a biography, have you read newt gingrich(sp) on how the civil war could've been different...great take...

10:56 pm

mab

I get it Torgone. I was amused and I meant to be sarcastic, not at all serious. I get the ha ha. Honestly. I'm a very amusing person myself. Truly.

11:02 pm

Dianne

baggo - got the NO word - many thanks. Had the NE word all along (need to learn how to read my list better).

11:02 pm

torgone

mab - No worries! That's my way - a little confrontational, a bit angry, a lot of self-depracation. I like to challenge new people sometimes, just to get a feel. I love the play. I respect absolutely everyone here. Most of you are much smarter than I am, or better game players. I just like to kid around a bit. Sometimes that doesn't come accross clearly online.

11:03 pm

cat2

Hi! Real life got me the last few days and no time to Babble. :-( Looking in to see todays board. Won't be attempting it this late in the game. LOL

11:05 pm

baggo

you know torgone, we love you kidding...and you have wonderul insight...i have not noticed you to be confrontational, maybe you are on the nights i'm not working or up late.. you are thought provoking... ;)

11:11 pm

Dianne

Looking for the Si5 and Si 6 (not the nap). Any godd, hand holding clues out there? Please.

11:11 pm

torgone

Thanks baggo. Maybe "confrontational" is not the right word. I'm not that way in real life. But with people I like and respect, I like to play around and joke with. It's all good.

11:13 pm

baggo

ok, here is the si6 Any of a group of silicon hydrides having the general formula SiH that are analogous to the paraffin hydrocarbons
(now if that doesnt work how about the spanish word for yes and another name for a street, road avenue...or the place where the muffin man lives...drury....

11:14 pm

baggo

yyyyyyyy should you need the si5, if you have the si4/4

11:16 pm

baggo

torgone you tellin me ya like n respect me <blushing>

11:18 pm

Dianne

Baggo - got the si5 (looked in the right corner!) and I got the si6 with the hand holding clues - those are the kind of clues I can follow. Thanks for the help.

11:18 pm

Debs40ish

Evening...morning...middle of night to all :)

11:18 pm

baggo

hello debs how's it going???

11:19 pm

11:19 pm

Debs40ish

11:20 pm

torgone

11:21 pm

baggo

Debs40ish

Oh no not the muffin man again!....

11:22 pm

baggo

11:25 pm

baggo

11:26 pm

Debs40ish

There you go with the "fish" again....

11:27 pm

baggo

11:27 pm

Debs40ish

You'll set Doogle off singing again!

11:29 pm

Dianne

Any one got a hint on the TE5? Please.

11:30 pm

Debs40ish

Debs40ish

11:38 pm

Doogle

Debs40ish

11:43 pm

torgone

Good luck and best wishes, Doogle!

11:44 pm

Jacula

'Felididiampumptious' - that's a word I just used to my partner, t tell him how sexy he is. 'S a good word, isn't it?

11:44 pm

baggo

11:45 pm

Debs40ish

11:45 pm

Jacula

Soory, got that wrong.... meant felididiaumptious.

11:46 pm

baggo

and jacula where did you ever find that word

11:46 pm

torgone

Anyone can cry, baggo. It's the universal language.

11:47 pm

Jacula

I just made up up, Baggo, as writers do.

11:47 pm

torgone

Ripping word, nonetheless.

11:48 pm

baggo

torgone, i know, i have sensitive guys, but he's not the same kid that was battling his brother on nintendo not 2 hours ago....butt licker i think was the term used...

11:49 pm

Doogle

11:54 pm

Doogle

Thanks, Baggo, Debs, & Torgone. I have a pretty good feeling about this one. :)

I think I must be pretty fatigued, as I've naught that's naughty to add on the icthyological muffin front.

11:55 pm

baggo

11:56 pm

Debs40ish

Can just imagine that word being used in convo... "Oh, have you been respermed lately......lol

11:56 pm

torgone

I like the way you think, baggo. And the way you talk. I had all those words the last few days.

11:57 pm

baggo

fertility clinics could use it...and if you ever see it you know where you heard it first...lol

11:57 pm

Jacula

Debs40ish. I've been married once (for a very long time) and divorced once and alone, bringing up 2 kids for a very long time. Now, I think, I'm 99 and 3 quarters sure, that I've finally found the right man - the guy I used to wonder if he was searching for me, as I went to sleep and wondered about him. I used to think he could be anywhere in the world, sitting on a beach or wherever and wondering where I was. Turned out he was inland and only half an hour down the road. BLIMEY! Life's a funny bugger, ain't it??

11:59 pm

torgone

So much for this one, 54 words left. There's always tomorrow. TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I LUV YA, TO...*gunshots*

11:59 pm

baggo

jacula how wonderful...so happy for you...hey debs he's out there...

11:59 pm

Debs40ish

Well I think the love of my life must be out in the wilderness lost and alone somewhere.. Knowing my luck some missing link!

12:00 am

baggo

torgone you just killed me....<falls dead to floor> lives long enough to type this...

12:00 am
