I like that i6 from yours, hugs :)

12:22 am

I wonder who complained that we never have enough d's.
12:22 am
Hugabugs

Now I'm really curious to find this other i6
12:23 am
Blaze

Hugs it is in the same area.... I got that one first and then went back after your music clue.....
12:25 am
Hugabugs

I think I got it... it's an anagram of mine. That's where I'll be most of the winter.
12:25 am
Blaze

thats the one
12:26 am
mab

Just got Hugabugs's. I'd like hers for the winter.
12:26 am
sprite

Darn, I had yours already without realising it, hugs :) If I can't even count to 6, can I finish this grid?
12:27 am
mab

I can't figure out how there can be 125 words in this grid.
12:27 am
sprite

F6/27, don't think it has been mentioned yet.
12:27 am
Hugabugs

LOL Sprite... Oh we know you can!
12:29 am
sprite

No seriously! I took your anagram clue, paper and pencil, found another word with those letters, entered it and got the "oops, you dummie, you entered that already" message. It is too early for this :)
12:31 am
Hugabugs

You just need to wake up a bit more... it's early! ;o)
12:36 am

Good night Blaze, Munner.

Krys10

ugh, car alarm malfunctioning. police say we have to wait 45 minutes before they'll tow... guess I'm up for a while :)
1:15 am
sprite

E7/48
Bad start of the day, Krys10... hope it is over soon.
1:15 am
Hugabugs

That doesn't sound like too much fun Krys
1:15 am
mab

Is your alarm on now?
1:16 am
Dianne

Does anyone know how many D words there are in this thing?
1:16 am
Hugabugs

I think it's 33 D's
1:17 am
Hugabugs

d6/24x2
1:18 am
Krys10

Not my car alarm, someone parked on my street - ten seconds on, ten seconds off. Sprite, remember it's the *end* of my day :)
1:20 am
sprite

I assumed it wasn't your car. It is so getting on ones nerves, that noise, I hate it too. Bad luck, now you'll have to babble until it stops :)
1:20 am
mab

Oh, that sounds painful, Krys10! What a nuisance.
1:20 am
Krys10

yeah, poor me, especially with all these great clues lying around for me to find :)
1:21 am
mab

It's a very odd grid, I think.
1:21 am
sprite

And nobody complaining you stay up way too late just to babble... you are justified now!
1:22 am
sprite

I agree, mab.
1:22 am
sprite

Also E7/44
1:22 am
Krys10

I'm sad that there's no "fodder" or "midwife"
1:22 am
Hugabugs

it looks good at first glance... then you find the words you thought were there really aren't.
1:23 am
sprite

Nor misdoer and misdoes.
1:23 am
Hugabugs

I see widow every time I look at it
1:23 am
mab

Or custody. I think that's all the 7s Sprite.
1:25 am
Krys10

Or indices.
ahhh, ear plugs...
1:25 am
mab

Siddow, as in Max von, is distracting me, and I don't even know who that is (just a detached name floating in my head).
1:26 am
sprite

D7/48
E7/48
E7/44
M7/48
S7 /36
T7/36
1:27 am
mab

I actually own several sets of ear plugs (extremely sensitive to sound at times). Odd.
1:27 am
Dianne

Sprite - I thought someone said earlier that the were @ S7/36. Were they wrong?
1:28 am
mab

I wish a could send you a fresh pair through cyberspace, Krys10.
1:28 am
Krys10

there are two S7/36, right? (not that I've found any sevens yet with this racket!)
1:28 am
sprite

You could have a pair of mine, Krys10 - but before you got them, the noise will have stopped, I am sure :) And yo
1:29 am
sprite

and you will be sound asleep, I was typing, when the message posted itself. Odd indeed.
1:29 am
Hugabugs

Yeah, I've been searching for the other s7
1:30 am
sprite

I only have the 6 I listed, and the stats panel says there are no more. Are the stats wrong?
1:31 am
Krys10

mab, can you confirm the S7/36 x2?
1:33 am
Krys10

Yay! Tow truck is here! Not long now...
1:33 am
mab

Hmmm...I may be the culprit. I posted that there was another S7, and I don't remember what I was thinking. I must have made a mistake.
1:34 am
sprite

Perhaps the T7, they are close.
1:34 am
mab

Yey Krys!

I'm sorry, I can't confirm. Must be only one. Sorry.
1:34 am
Hugabugs

No problem mab... it's late for us.
1:38 am
mab

And what an S it is!
1:38 am
sprite

Actually, such an S should count double ;)
1:40 am
Krys10

The tow truck took the noisy naughty car away and I immediately found three 7's! can't stop now...
1:40 am
sprite

You need to unwind before you can sleep, Krys10 :D
1:41 am
Hugabugs

and Babble is the perfect way to unwind! ;o)
1:41 am
mab

Ah, Babble must be singing its Siren song....
1:41 am
sprite

Finally found that Y-word (Y4/10). Stupid scrabble word.
1:47 am
Hugabugs

I remembered it from the last time we had it. It is an odd one though
1:49 am
Hugabugs

The D's are downed! I finally got all the 7's
1:49 am
sprite

I just looked up the meaning and now I believe there is a rock 'n' roll song with that word in it... otherwise I haven't seen it anywhere. Def: Certainly; assuredly.
1:50 am
Krys10

Tomorrow when this puzzle's over, Sprite, I'd love to know what song you mean - I can't imagine anyone knowing that word just for the heck of it!
1:52 am
Hugabugs

Sprite - Is it Led Zeppelin?
1:52 am
sprite

I have this nagging line that goes on in my head, just not enough to waken the memory of what exact song, but I know it will come up if I don't think about it. And then I'll probably find it is not exactly that word, but something that sounds like it, LOL.

Funny grid, but worth playing. Alright, I admit, they all are :)

does anyone have the letter counts?
1:58 am

how do some people know how many words there are?
how do you know the breakdown?
1:59 am
mab

And I'm on your heels with 60 to go... You are both amazing. I'm still fixated on the y word.
1:59 am
Hugabugs

If you become a Babble Pro - you get a grid that tells you how many words, the breakdown between letter count, and a grid that tells you how many words derive from any letter in the grid.
2:00 am
helenary

thank you!!
2:01 am
Hugabugs

Plus you get to place an icon, and the flag and gender indicator.
2:01 am

too shy for all that!
2:03 am

The grid is well worth the $9.95 US for a lifetime membership.

I see. I notice Brendyjack has all the answers/words. He seems to be up there knowing the most unbelievable words. A few other like you too.
2:13 am
Hugabugs

Oh, it's not that I know them. I do a lot of monkey typing
and when I'm really stuck a2zwordfinder helps too. Plus, the more you play the more you remember the odd words.
2:15 am
helenary

its the clues that you all give that help the beginners like me get right into the obsessiveness of it all!
2:16 am
Hugabugs

I so enjoy some of the ways the clues are given. Some with total disregard to the meanings... it's so funny sometimes. But, they do work.
2:17 am
helenary

its a fun game
2:17 am
mab

It seems that players bring various skills to the game; Brandyjack likes to research the words and is great at giving clues. Sprite and Hugs are simply blazing stars, and so on. Different strengths. Others, like me, are, one hopes, improving, learning new tricks, etc.
2:18 am
Hugabugs

I think what brings me back the most is the Babble community. They are all so friendly and eager to help.
2:21 am
mab

That's so true, Hugs. I'm so taken with how each person's personality comes through. It is like a little community.
2:22 am
Hugabugs

I enjoy the chitchat so much. I really wish we had a way to chat off the Babble board also.
2:26 am
Atalante

you could always set up a babble chat room on yahoo or irc or something :)
2:26 am
mab

I do too. I've not gone to the babblers anonymous site, but I hear that it's hopping.
2:27 am
Hugabugs

I registered at Babblers Anonymous, but I think it is a forum for posting only.
2:29 am
helenary

babbler's anonymous? whats that? for addicts?
I must say you are all really a nice lot of people..and so polite! I live in australia and it fels like everyone sleeps when I get going with a new game.
2:30 am
Hugabugs

It's almost 2:30 a.m. here. I'm a nightowl ;o)
2:31 am

Oh, I see. I'm not very familiar with the chat scene. I should educate myself. Yahoo seems like a promising venue, as Atalante just pointed out. Hmmm...
2:33 am
helenary

i only discovered it a week or so ago. Since i love scrabble I got right into it and it has dominated my time ever since, except when i am workng or socialising or being responsible. There are certain people who you take a liking too either because they are really smart, really kind, really funny or just likable..they become familiar.
2:34 am
sprite

Was away for a while, just read up the log. I agree totally, this is a very nice community. More into getting everyone to the finish than into competing, that's what I like so much. And the fun. People here can be so witty and have such great remarks. :)
2:35 am
Hugabugs

I used to have IRC set up on my old computer, but I don't have it on this one, and I can't remember how to do it. I've never used Yahoo chat... but it seems like a feasible way to go too.

Sure macadam. But those who do that, we never meet and know nothing about, except when they play really well. I am sure the number of players far exceeds the chat-community here :)

Flerie: it's Y4/10, not so many ways to get that point total with 4 letters. It means certainly, assuredly. And it is a crazy scrabble word. You'd wish you knew the word ;)
2:40 am

I've been reading the log and to me it seems incredible how far apart both in miles and time zones but talking to each other, the chat is part of the whole babble experience, my family think I'm crackers- obsessively so
2:41 am

Yeah, ok. Prob call at work 1st so it may be about 10.45ish :)

My kind of crackers Ferrari.

There is a strange insanity to the lovabilty of the babble experience. Isn't it great? I almost feel like I've joined a cult -- without giving up all my worldly possessions!
2:43 am

2:45 am

Well, we may be from all over the world and differ in almost every possible way, but we all share a few things: a love for words, for puzzling, at least some intelligence and some tenacity in our nature. I feel perfectly at home here, though I don't chat much elsewhere.
2:45 am
SunnFlower

can you see me waving mac?
2:45 am
macadam

A lovely picture ,floating in and out,A far nicer description than popping.See you around helenary.
2:46 am
Dianne

I've never been in a chat room forum before. The fist several days I was playing I wouldn't even venture to enter the conversation - to shy and feeling out of the group. Then it just gets to you and you want to jump right in.
2:46 am
helenary

thank you once again!!
2:47 am
macadam

Did you see me waving back or did the low cloud get in the way?
2:47 am
sprite

Flerie, try this: if I'd say to you: you'd wish you knew the word, you would answer: yeah, .......
Then try to put that answer in letters you have available for the Y-word.
2:48 am
Hugabugs

Dianne - That's how I felt at first too. But the friendliness just exudes off the screen and you want to become a part of it.
2:48 am
sprite

Could you guys stop waving so frantically? You are messing up my papers with all the wind you're causing!
2:48 am

3:04 am

I am starting to suspect babble of erasing words.
That last grid with 'geez' in it... it was the first word I entered, and halfway I tried to finish the Gs, couldn't, checked my list, and there was no 'geez' to be seen. Very odd.
3:04 am
SunnFlower

sleep tight Hugs
3:05 am

Sweet dreams, Hugs.
3:11 am
Dianne

Sprite - I've wondered the same thing but then I figure that I just thought the word or wrote it but didn't acutally type it in.
3:13 am
SunnFlower

sprite, sometimes I put words in and I'm not watching the screen, then I realise I mistyped it or something so it's not there and when it's a big grid or an s or something you don't notice it's missing til you've forgotten, do you know what I mean
3:14 am
Dianne

Working the W words and I need the wi5/26 - any little hint?
3:16 am
sprite

Must be something like that, but I am certain I saw the word 'geez' on my list, since it was the very first word. But somewhere on that day I lost all my words too, except the last one I entered, and they came back after a forced refresh. Maybe something went wrong there.

Dianne: W6 spelled differently.
3:21 am
Dianne

Sprite - got it - another case of going in the wrong direction!
3:27 am

I'm off for now, seems I have to do things beside babble today. Good luck hunting to all of you and I'll try to check back later to see if anyone needs hints.

6:02 am
movieman

ferrari - the method I use for choosing icons is to go on to Google images, and type in the words "buddy icons", along with the type of icon I'm looking for, then I save the icon onto the hard drive, and go from there...
6:03 am
SunnFlower

can you use your own picture?
6:07 am
Jacula

Ferrari - Yes, you can use your own picture if it's stored on your computer.

Hi ToeSock,
Your icon is very arty!

having a few probs getting an icon - keep getting "not a format that Babble understands" - a bit like the word you just KNOW is a word but will not get accepted!!! Any tips?
10:56 am

Dachef, Babble prefer jpeg. That's how I did it.

Bobsta

Afternoon all,
Dachef: if you see any picture you like, right click it and go to 'properties' you'll see a web address for that picture. highlight the whole address, right click on it, and click on copy. then in the edit profile page, right click in the web address window and click paste. then click on upload and you should have your icon. babble will resize it if its a jpeg.

yeh - ths "work" thingy really gets in the way of the Babbling doesnt it? I got called into work last night to deal with a "crisis" (!), which meant I only half-completed the grid. I was in a really bad mood all night. O God, I really need to get some help.....

Got the second letter list. Thanks for telling me to scroll back!
11:44 am

Seems quieter than usual anyway today!!
11:45 am

Hey Lotti :) I reckon it's the absence of Anj that makes it so quiet
11:45 am
Dachef

somebody should go and wake him up.
11:46 am
Miyavi_fan

Or wave some chocolate under his nose
11:46 am
Dachef

actually, no, let him sleep, lets all finish before he gets here, then we can give him some clues for a change!!!!

Yeah probably, he`s not here teasing you!!! Where is he anyway?

It`s because you`re clever Miyavi.......and it helps when you`ve played for a while because the words become familiar :)

Oh dear, that's how mine started. If I can catch
it early, I take 1000mg Redoxin and a Lysine
tablet, as recommended by a doctor friend. You
can buy Lysine in health food stores. It's brilliant. Staves off cold sores, too.

I'm fine now, by the way. Ta for asking!

Nik - welcome to babble. OD 4/6 means that the word starts with od, it has four letters and the values on the tiles will give you 6 points.

thx for the tissue, Dachef, v much appreciated! *sniff*

Ah, we've inexplicably moved from trig to some fraction-scented stuff. *shudders* Plus, I think my maths teacher is in love with my best friend, so that's vaguely distracting :)

favouritism, Miy. Always irritated me. Unless I was teacher's pet, in which case I revelled in it!! LOL !

Cathy. When DID you marry this bench? You never mentioned it to me, unless it was one of those times where i had gone into my alternate universe filled with Irkens. Infact i think im there now. HI ZIM!

Babbler

Jax, it came up alright. And those of us here stayed up verrrrrryy late and had a party!! It was really funny!
:D
12:41 pm

It was a good day for me NOT to play, my life was busy that day, so I was relieved it wasn't up. If it was I would have been compelled to play and the rest of my life would have fallen by the wayside.

Babbler - I had my son's soccer game and then a football game to watch. UM football always takes 1st place in my heart (yes even over babble) and we were playing a rival so it was an important game.
12:49 pm
Jax

so no real reason why my rank jumped I guess, just luck i suppose. I have noticed that when I don't play I seem to move up faster. guess that says something about my playing. lol
12:49 pm

Ahaaa, I see your dilemma. Yes, it was a good thing you didn't have Babble nagging you!

Babbler - since you started sneezing earlier my nose has been running and Im coughing like a forty-a-day man. is it possible to transmit a cold through your computer. It can only be your fault. ;)
1:05 pm
Eva

Any clues for the y word? I understand that the second letter is a w? how bizarre!
1:06 pm

I know that didnt help very much. Im evil like that because you where evil to me when my brain died.

*thinks* now where did i leave my brain?
1:30 pm

Don't worry, I'm in a constant state of...er...carried-awayness. Managed to trap a nerve in cross country this morning, by doing an improvised "let's go down to disco" extravaganza when I was done :/

Jodie, could your brain be under Dachef's tree? He can't find that either....
1:31 pm

Jodes...did you see my dancey dancey time this morning? I don't know why they called it cross country, we didn't cross any countries. Just ran around a field for an hour
1:32 pm
mab

I'm sure it's not you fault Babbler. Besides, Miyavi is too young to break a hip. A cup of strong, sweet tea will perk her right up. Miyavi? Miyavi? Speak to me girl! Oh dear.
1:32 pm
Miyavi_fan

Jodie, check behind the sofa. That's where I found my Dir en Grey CD. Weird.
1:32 pm
Invader_Jodie

So you danced madly while i was dying out on the field. Typical. No i didnt see your dance, I was too busy trying not to die.

Maybe it is under dachefs tree. *tries to find tree*

Oh there, she's fine. Dancing is very therapeutic.

Well...I walk into the room and everyone leaves. I could get a complex. Even at my age. AND break a hip.

Even stranger things happen if you talk with me. If you value your sanity, youd stay clear from me. Im known to have random rantings about Zim. I kept asking hayley for a Voot Cruiser and a Spittle Runner today.

MMmmm....Medicinial chocolate. *steals it all*
1:41 pm
Miyavi_fan

Indeediness, Jodes. Maybe they wake up in the middle of the night with dreams of exploring the unknown! Trekking bravely over the peaks of the stairs, through stifling heats in the airing cupboard! *sighs* Ah, the spirit of the young'uns!

What are we mourning, Miyavi?
1:49 pm

Mourining day, why be the day of today mourining day?

:O How do you know they are spaceships? Only people who know anything about Zim would know about the voot cruiser, but not the spittle runner.
1:50 pm
Miyavi_fan

Hide, we're mourning Hide! Lead singer of a j-rock band called X-Japan who managed to start some sort of revolution. Was strangled to death whilst drunk :(
1:51 pm
mab

You're so up to date, Torgone! You even understand Zimbabwean slang. Wow.
1:52 pm
Miyavi_fan

Though I don't know why today is a mourning day, since he died a few years ago. But they're thinking of closing the memorial museum that they opened for him, so today seems as good a day as any.
1:52 pm
Invader_Jodie

Ahhhh..... you and your japanease people Cathy. Ill just sit here and nod and pretend i understand, like hayley does to me on so many occasions during my random rants.

Oh. Sorry Jodie, I thought that's what Zim meant. Well, off to plumb.

'frumpily' is a real adverb. However, if you had made a word up there'd be nothing wrong in that. How else does English become such a rich and varied language?

You can actually choose to not have a gender. In the gender drop-down box, there is a blank area right above the 2 standard choices that, if selected, causes you to be genderless.

7:44 pm
Doogle

Eva - I'm not sure where to guide you, as I don't see which of the three words relates to frequency. Do you have an O4 and an O5 or two O4s?
7:44 pm
Eva

Thanks brandyjack! Can't believe I never saw that one.
7:45 pm
Jacula

Failing Jack's clue, think of the would-be mayor of London's mother (in the pantomime) seeing her son go off imagining the city's street were paved with gold. She might have exclaimed, 'Oh Di**!' (That's the clean version of this clue.) Take out the 'h' and the 11th letter of the alphabet. Voila!
7:47 pm
Jacula

Set up IP phone emulators and snoopers??? Don't like the sound of that, Jack!
7:48 pm
snowyowl

Well goodnight all. Happy babbling. Thank you all for your help and your company. Spare a thought for CATHB who is on a course with my extremely crazy son in law and has no computershe is allowed to babble on.on
7:49 pm
Jacula

Night Snowy. Sending out nice thoughts to CATHB.
7:50 pm
brandyjack

The emulators are setup to emulate 1000 phones to beat the stuffings out of a system. The snooper is to demonstrate why you want encryption on the datastream.....
7:50 pm
Jacula

Doogle - of5/16 - more often. Chaucer coined the word.
7:50 pm
Jacula

Ah! Got you now Jack. Was a bit worried there for a moment.:-/
7:52 pm
Doogle

Thanks, Jac. Got it now. Wasn't seeing the word that way.
7:53 pm

Blimey! That sounded like a 'cult' message, didn't it? LOL.
8:02 pm
ExWren

Ooops- didn't make it clear that the list is of the things which I already have.
8:28 pm
Eva

Got the last i finally by monkey typing...although that's a bit too far up the evolutionary scale for the way my brain is operating... more like amoeba typing.
8:30 pm
Dianne

Morning All - I need a bit of help - looking for the second Di6. I have the diaper one. Any clues?
8:32 pm
PAV3

Dianne...follows your di4 6...same format as the first di6...subst one vowel
8:33 pm
Jacula

Still here on and off if anyone wants clues...
8:34 pm

8:36 pm

Jacula...posted the recipe....Jack's already got the one in as well

AM off to get home, then I'll check back in for any help I can give...thanks Jacula
8:37 pm
ToeSockMonkey

Oh... more men on now! :) Nice...
8:38 pm
Eva

Thanks Doogle and PAV for the s - got it now. But could use some more help on the in5.....have been round and round and round and round and must have missed the right combo.
8:40 pm
Doogle

Eva - it's an alternate spelling of a common en5.
8:41 pm
robert240

help with me5 and de5? i have the de5 that means very thick
8:41 pm
Jacula

de5 - what you might do to your car on a fosty morning.
8:42 pm
Jacula

or even a *frosty morning!
8:42 pm
Doogle

There are 3 Me5 words. Need 'em all?
8:42 pm
Eva

Sorry doogle, but I think I'm flatlining. Call in the paddles and clear the gurney!
8:42 pm
Jacula

Which me5??
8:42 pm
robert240

got the de, thanks!
8:43 pm
robert240

oops! have the me5's
8:43 pm
Jacula

me5/20 - 1. A member of a military medical corps.
2. A physician or surgeon.
3. A medical student or intern.
8:44 pm
Doogle

Man down! Call a me5! He might live in your palatial me5. But the habitat is moist, 'cause he's me5.
8:44 pm
robert240

have 3 of em. the doc, the one that sounds like the doc, and the plural of the mispelt drink
8:44 pm
Jacula

me5 - # A fitting recompense.
# Archaic. A merited gift or wage.

Plural of your me 4/7
8:45 pm
robert240

its the palace i need
8:46 pm
roseymay19

can any offer any clues for SO 5/16, ME 4/9, MI 6/30
8:46 pm
Jacula

me5 - Of, characterized by, or adapted to a moderately moist habitat. The Sound Of M****. But change the first vowel.
8:47 pm
Jacula

me5 - profits of premises during the time the owner has been wrongfully kept out of the possession of his estate. --Burrill.
8:47 pm
ToeSockMonkey

Thank you Jacula! =o)
8:47 pm
Doogle

Yeah, and palace made no sense. I was making an errant assumption. Jacula's 8:47 clue is the one you want to follow up on.
8:48 pm
Jacula

so5/16 - you might yell, 'SOD IT!' if you don't get this word, though maybe not quite ending like that.
8:48 pm
Jacula

me4/9 - what your cat might say.
8:48 pm
robert240

i am a lawyer, i should ahve known that one! ty jacula
8:49 pm
Jacula

mi6/30 - did things wrong!
8:50 pm
Doogle

I've actually trained my cat to say "Oops! Your word doesn't exist in the puzzle" instead. I've gotten so used to it.
8:51 pm
Eva

The legal recompense is the one I'm missing, but I have no idea what it might be, and a quick search through legal terms on the web dint find it for me.
8:51 pm
Jacula

Dooglle - you're fibbing! Cat's can't talk! Mind you, the looks they can direct your way say a lot, as does their body language.
8:51 pm
robert240

od4 thats not the plural of strange??
8:52 pm
Jacula

Eva - Imagine a Scotsman saying there isn't a mess. Take out an 'n' and take out the 'a' from his negative.
8:52 pm
Doogle

Eva - the word you're after is an anagram of a common ejaculate material (sorry, it's the only anagram I can think of...).
8:53 pm
Dianne

PAV - it's hoepless - I can't find that second Di6 no matter what. Does it rhyme with something? Any other clues?
8:53 pm
Jacula

LOL Doogle. I hadn't thought of that!
8:55 pm
Jacula

Di - if you did something someone asked you to to, they might say, whilst you were in the act of doing it, 'Di does what I asked.'
8:55 pm
Doogle

Both Di6 words are plurals of ones you've probably already got. One of them is the plural of one of the characters from Henry Purcell's "Di4 and Aeneas."
8:56 pm
roseymay19

thanks jacula.
8:56 pm
Jacula

Failing you getting that clue, if you had more than ne dog called Fido, it would be FI****.
8:57 pm
Jacula

Roseymay - which clue were the thanks for?
8:58 pm
Dianne

Jac and Doogle - you guys are the best. Thanks. Now what about the second Me4 I have the one meaning reward. Any clues?
8:58 pm

Jacula!!!
that was so good how you gave that clue. LOL
8:59 pm
Jacula

No Robert. It's more of a betting thing. 'Evens or Od**'.
8:59 pm
Eva

So what does it say for me that the ejaculation clue was the only one I got? Oh mispent life. Now if I'd been a lawyer.....

di6/24

9:02 pm

Please, help with the di 6/24? I have the dixx and Anaeus one.
9:04 pm

9:04 pm
Dianne

Jac - I have the poorest sense of direction - I was looking at the top M - DUH. Thanks. I need an So5. I have the mud house one. Any little, bitty hint?
9:04 pm
Jacula

Mab - like I said before, imagine someone telling a crowd of female rabbits to perish. They might yell, 'Di****!'
9:05 pm
Doogle

That's the one she already has, Jacula.

Dianne - "of or relating to sodium"
9:06 pm
Dianne

Mab - look at Jac's 8:55 post to me. It's a great clue.
9:06 pm
Jacula

Bottom 's', straight up, go right, then down to the right.
9:08 pm
mab

Thanks Jacula and Doogle. Am processing.
9:08 pm
Jacula

9:11 pm
Jacula

Morning (here) Evanadine. How's you?
9:12 pm
Doogle

Sorry, Jac. Your "directions" directions kind of looked like they could apply to either word.

9:48 pm
EvaNadine

how do i do that, torgone?
9:51 pm
torgone

mab - not really. Mostly a bunch of offbeat characters with a lot of funny lines ( I think almost every line of dialog is on a t-shirt somewhere), and then boy makes a couple friends.
9:51 pm
torgone

evanadine - Are you using IE?
9:54 pm

EvaNadine

nevermind, i got it...thanks torgonne.
:D
9:56 pm
Jacula

Clear your caches on both IE and Firefox, Evanadine and also do a disk clean-up, ticking all boxes. Then run Spybot. After that, if you haven't done it in a while, defrag your computer. But, for now, try pressing F5 and see if that works.
9:58 pm
Jacula

After that, do all the earlier things at least twice daily, do the spybot twice a week at least, and defrag at leat once a month.
9:58 pm
EvaNadine

jacula inspired me to get festive with my icon.

does anyone have a clue for wi6/33? thank you
11:25 pm
Dianne

Wi6 - if you have the Wi5/26 just change the ending to the 2 letter combo that sounds the same.
11:29 pm
Jacula

11:42 pm
Hugabugs

tony
to6/27 - what Ivy League students would call the kids from the area, but drop the n.

to5/16 - is to6/27 after dropping the last letter.
11:42 pm
Jacula

TO5/126 & 6/27 - people who live in towns are often referred to as townies by country folks. Take out a consonant for both the plural and the singular.
11:44 pm
tonyv

Thank you!

roseymay19

any do7/48 clues
11:44 pm

en7/44 - intelligent at the end. Like an owl coming to the END of its WISEness.
11:45 pm
roseymay19

hahaah, thanx jac
11:45 pm
Hugabugs

di4/6 - 7Up used to use him in commercials - Fido Di/46

the di5 and di6 are plural variations of the same
11:46 pm
Jacula

do7/48 - lots of frumpy people. Boy George's surname is O'Dowd. Think of that and then take away a bit from start and add 3rd vowel, 2nd vowel and pluralizing letter to end.
11:48 pm
Jacula

Hugabugs - di4/6 is a SHE!
11:50 pm
roseymay19

11:57 pm
Jacula
