12:10 am

Griffums

Me's fine. Just...a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being - or, to paraphrase Charlton Heston at the NRA, I'll give up the Babble when they pry the keyboard from my cold...dead...HANDS!

12:11 am

GreyWoulf

There's too much for me to go after right now. Must sleep...

Tbug

12:26 am

sprite

Bad start! How do you call a can to throw litter in? Right... but it won't take :( Would have made a nice T8.

12:26 am

Griffums

hey Sprite, for some reason I thought of you when I saw you can't get STILETTO out of this grid

12:26 am

sprite

LOL!

12:27 am

DarleenMB

ah but Sprite ... you're REALLY close to a legal one. lose a letter

12:27 am

Blaze

I agree completely.... I even refreshed twice --- still would not accept....LOl

12:27 am

DarleenMB

oops, Sprite, make that TWO letters to drop

12:29 am

Griffums

...I tried TRASHCAN/S three times after mamabear said it wouldn't work. I'm a putz.

12:29 am

sprite

Two letters, no matter which? ;)
I have the 5, looking for your 6 now.

12:30 am

DarleenMB

oh a little judicious trimming will do :-)

12:31 am

DarleenMB

well big whoop. 51 words. I need some shut eye. Night all.

12:31 am

sprite

Sleep well, Darleen!

12:32 am

DarleenMB

thanks Sprite .. .I will if I can tear myself away, LOL

12:32 am

Blaze

thanks N

12:33 am

Niamh

not a problem ;~)

12:33 am

Tbug

ty niamh and hello from spokane... whereabouts r u in wa?

12:34 am

Niamh

Covington, it's a small area just east of Kent, how's the weather in spokane this evening?

12:34 am

sprite

Ah Darleen, if you are still hanging in here: found the legal one!

12:34 am

cintax40

hey, Okanogan, Wa. here......little west of you Spokane

12:35 am

DarleenMB

YAY! I'm going, I'm going!!!

12:35 am

Blaze

sprite do you have a mini clue for that t ??

12:35 am

Tbug

cool, pretty close to normal... maybe a little warmer - first oct in history in spok w/o dipping below freezing yet

12:35 am

Griffums

Haven't found a fish yet, but just saw the stuff that comes out of a fish...

12:36 am

Niamh

wow, it froze here the other night, not a lot... just enough to have to scrape the windows in the am!

12:36 am

Tbug

yo washitonians! :)

12:36 am

Griffums

(...because where I'm from, a Friday night's entertainment in the late summer is to go watch the salmon spawn. Good times. Well maybe not for the salmon.)

12:36 am

sprite

Blaze, which T? The 8 that isn't valid in this grid? Or the 5?
The 5 is what you would throw in the 8.
As Darleen says, loose 2 letters and you have a valid 6 that doesn't start with T.

12:36 am

Tbug

hmmm sensors didnt like wash it ton ians

12:37 am

Blaze

thank you now wonder I was confused..... LOL

12:37 am

sprite

Hooray for Griffums for getting the fishy thing working again!

12:37 am

Niamh

so you didn't put the <beep> in?

12:38 am

sprite

ROFLOL! No, the beep was babble's. It will not have excrements appear in the log, it seems.

12:38 am

cintax40

hmmmm...that odd...I never knew my states name was a bad word...lol

12:39 am

Tbug

guess i flushed it down! :)

12:39 am

sprite

Shouldn't there be a -ng- somewhere in that word then?

12:40 am

Niamh

that's awesome lol...

12:40 am

Tbug

i beepin beepin beeped it lol!
i beepin need some sleep!

12:41 am

Norad

Hi KNG!

12:42 am

Niamh

poop

(just testing the sensor)

12:42 am

sprite

And still no clit :)

12:42 am

Tbug

crap
*me too*

12:43 am

Griffums

So what happens if there's a profanity in the actual grid? Does babble go into an endless feedback loop of self-denial?

12:43 am

sprite

Probably, Griffums! :)

12:43 am

Norad

doing great kng

12:44 am

Niamh

clit is an abbreviation.... I tried that too!

12:44 am

Tbug

dung

12:44 am

zubie

LOL, Griffums!
And with that, hi everyone! :) I never find myself appearing in the list of finishers, by the way - although I didn't finish yesterday.

12:44 am

sprite

Yeah, we have known for some time that babble is a lousy lover ;)

12:45 am

Tbug

poor babblers that go back thru log to get clues... :)

12:45 am

Niamh

they are going to be very confused

12:46 am

sprite

I think Dr_God should give us the option to mark our post entries in another color. Then we could make the clues blue, for instance, so they would stick out.

12:46 am

sprite

Confused, but amused... if they are in a good mood.

12:47 am

Niamh

that would be a great help... then we could chat and be friendly, and not irritate the few who only want the log to be clues.

12:47 am

Tbug

if they're "regular" LOL

12:50 am

Tbug

nite nite all at 60 words... till tomorrow! gl 2 all of ya!

12:50 am

Griffums

Bye tbug!

12:50 am

Niamh

nite tbug!

12:51 am

sprite

Sleep well, Tbug.

12:51 am

sprite

A nice, peacefull A7/44.

12:51 am

Tbug

thx u2
peace out

12:53 am

sprite

Er, peaceful could do with one less L, I fear.
C7/36-8/50 combo and a C8/55.

12:56 am

sprite

Oh, and Darleen's A6 can be made into A7/36 as well.

12:56 am

JeeWhiz

Sprite, any good clues for the A and the C's?

12:57 am

Griffums

Sprite, it wouldn't take my WITTLE word eithuh... :(

12:58 am

sprite

A7/44 is peaceful, A7/36 is dusty, C-combo is musical, C8 is "A widely distributed black to brownish-black chromium ore".
Griffs, I tried that too, lol! About 4 times.

12:59 am

sprite

M7/32 will keep your hands warm.

12:59 am

JeeWhiz

Thanks Sprite...I'll work on them for awhile.....while I wittle.

1:01 am

sprite

Can anyone tell me why O4/5 are valid and 'ents' aren't? I submit a new rule: all Tolkien creatures should be allowed!

1:03 am

Griffums

IIIII can't tell you why (no baby, I can't tell you why...)

1:04 am

sprite

But you are a great C7/36, Griffs!
S7/28-8/40 combo too.

1:04 am

Griffums

1:08 am

Griffums

byebye Blaze

1:16 am

sprite

Sleep well, sweet dreams Blaze!

1:17 am

sprite

A mouse with wings... and still 'ents' are not allowed.

sorry sprite... you're too fast for me!

1:38 am

sprite

You'll get there soon enough, Griffs!
Gosh, that S is driving me bananas. Must be a crazy word... or so ordinary I am blind to it, of course.

1:38 am

Griffums

really Sprite, you're so good at this that it's sort of amazing we still like you. I'm just sayin. <duck!>

1:38 am

stillcrazy

what happened to todays word lists on Babblers Anonymous?

1:39 am

sprite

LMAO!
Yeah, I am great. Great at being blind to the obvious, in particular. ;)

1:40 am

Niamh

maybe Brandyjack is out for the evening... actually doing something on a friday nite... wow, I'm jealous!

1:40 am

Griffums

stillcrazy, that big collective silence is brought to you by All Of Us Who Have No Idea

1:40 am

stillcrazy

lol thanks Griffums

1:40 am

Niamh

Sprite, I'm guessing it was a really obvious one?

1:41 am

Dianne

sprite - I think you are missing a st5/10.

1:41 am

KJS

sprite....my first st word is your 5 Medical term for a plastic tube inserted to drain

1:42 am

sprite

Still looking... thanks for the help!

1:44 am

KJS

1:45 am

zubie

Lol, Griffums! :)
This is a brief resurface from babble-swamp. 90 words and no list against which to check! :s

1:46 am

Griffums

hi zubie - this is pretty good practice for me. Yesterday's puzzle was my easiest in terms of not monkey typing but I think it was because there were more familiar words than usual?

1:48 am

zubie

HI Griffums. I didn't get to yesterday's puzzle until there were just 45 minutes left, so I didn't finish. But I got many words in that time. Didn't reach 100, though.

Sprite. You are responsible for my obsession with the s's now. I was perfectly happy with the a's and then I saw your post - and now I'm obsessed. St7? Clue?

1:50 am

"Any of several trumpet-shaped, ciliate protozoans of the genus Stentor, living in dark freshwater pools and feeding chiefly on smaller microorganisms" and its plural.
KJS, that did it for me! Thanks a lot. 1852 points today, 4,69 average length. Still no stats at Babblers Anon? I can make stats, but no 2nd letters list.

1:51 am

KJS

1:52 am

Griffums

2:08 am

sprite

I think it is a To6/21. See 1.16 am.

2:11 am

sprite

I must beg your forgiveness... sorry for the Fishy clue with the word right in it :(
Copied it from the def and did not see it in time.

2:11 am

Griffums

Well, it *was* a pretty clear clue though. I just wished it was for a word I didn't already have. ;)

2:14 am

sprite

I feel really stupid. I always read the defs before using them, but I haven't seen this. Twice even. :(
Wish we could edit our posts. Or delete them.
Any other clue I can serve you with? Promise I won't give away the word again.

2:14 am

Griffums

I am dead stuck on the J's

lizmac

New to Babble. What do the numbers mean?

5:07 am

Dianne

liz - for example ea4/6 means it is a four letter word and the points for each letter add up to 6 (as in the word "each").

5:21 am

Dianne

zubie - did you get all the L words? I don't have too many of them yet.

5:23 am

zubie

No, Dianne. I have just 9 of them and am stuck. Missing an S and two R's too.

Hello everyone. Housework done now I can concentrate on the favourite pastime. Looks like a fairly good one today yes?

6:41 am

joelgee

Morning.
Is it me or is the 2nd letter list not yet posted at B.A.?

6:42 am

Jera

Good morning all... that's weird, 162 words 2 days in a row? I'm not complaining, could be worse!

6:42 am

Ho Hum

It's not you, brandyjack doesn't always post at the weekend.

6:43 am

Ho Hum

But if you go back through the log there are loads of listings (and good clues too).

6:44 am

joelgee

Ho--
Thanks. I try to never underestimate my capacity for ignorance.

6:45 am

Ho Hum

It's a bit more challenging without his list but with the aid of the log and some monkey typing have made it to 120 words so far.

6:46 am

joelgee

If only the second half went down as easily as the first half. Sigh.

6:47 am

Ho Hum

Know what you mean!! .... but where would the fun and pain be then? LOL

6:48 am

joelgee

I could use a little more fun in my life; pain, not so much. Of course, Babble hurts so good.

6:51 am

Ho Hum

Can anyone help with a clue for the st5/10 just cant see it/find it. thanks

Thanks for the stats Brandyjack. I know they make the game easier but it does help to find the words without using other aids so much

8:27 am

joelgee

Jera--
Brandyjack posted for today, just a bit ago.

8:27 am

mslars

jo6 is pluralizing a jo5. there are 2 jo5's. the other one (other than the fight one) is an acronym for something that one sits on and it goes around and around and around.

8:28 am

speedfreak

joelgee: I posted a notice on the babblers anon website also on the sad news...wish we had an address for them.

8:28 am

Jera

So sorry... I was ploughing through the whole list... gleaning tidbits...

8:29 am

joelgee

Good job, Speed. I didn't want to intrude and ask for hospital or address at this point.

Yes, that's the one that was missing. No idea why my solver doesn't allow it

8:39 am

8:40 am

don't know any more than what Richard wrote. Didn't feel right asking details.

Hi everyone. Just logged on to see the awful news about sandr. Is she okay?? Does anyone know her outside the game?

8:43 am

Smeltzdog

such sadness makes me not feel like babbling.

8:44 am

joelgee

All we know is that she's in the hospital. I imagine Richard is pretty much in shock.
That's it. That's all.

8:47 am

lola100

Oh, that is awful. I don't even feel like babbling now. I know we've never met most of the people we "see" everyday but I feel like she is a friend and my heart is just aching for her and her husband.

8:51 am

my thoughts are with them

8:52 am

i keep thinking about poor sandr, and about how I thought I was having a bad week and a bad day. and how now, that puts everything into perspective for me. i can hardly imagine how sad and shocked they must feel now...

8:54 am

Oh, dear. I just checked back in the log. I am so sorry.

8:55 am

I just read the log and am so sorry for their loss. How heartbreaking.

How sad, but isn't it nice to know that so many people on here care about someone we just babble with. It will make here feel happy to know so many people care.

9:01 am

Exactly. Is nice idea, wanted to see if the capbility was already there. Didn't think it through. Wasn't smart to even test it.

9:13 am

lola100

Me too speed, me too. I have started a thread of condolences for sandr under general in babblers anon.

9:14 am

Fixed the stats at Babblers Anonymous by the way. The solver I use doesn't recognize the st 5/10 as a word.

Hi babe :'(

Speed, so true. Just wish there was more I could do for them.

9:26 am

brandyjack

speed, that would definitely do it. I'll have to make a list of words that the solver doesn't recognise. It's not my solver so I cannot influence it in any way shape or form. Just have to catch the problems as they fall.

You know Speed, what you say about this group is true. I'm not on all the time, but I feel as if I know you guys, and when I heard the news about Sarah and Richard, it really made me feel very very sad. You are very right....this is more than a game group

Sad news this AM. I am new here so I don't know them but have been in a similar situation and feel some of their pain. "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."

jrs

Hi, everyone -
I, too, mostly lurk. I've been babbling since August, but seldom join the chat because I only babble at work But I do enjoy reading the log, and feel that I've come to know many of the regulars. YOu are such a warm and kind community, and, because of that, I count every day that I can babble to be a plus.

10:21 am

goon one jrs same here

10:21 am

hear hear jrs

10:23 am

brandyjack

Dr_God. Just noticed that if you have the stats chart up while playing, the word count doesn't advance. The grid counts advance, but the word size counters don't. Refreshing or flipping forth and back updates them.

10:24 am

pbr

any clues for an7, at5 or ch6

10:25 am

Smeltzdog

an7 - against fights

10:26 am

groovygranny

good afternoon everyone ...... I read all the messages and I'm sorry to hear about their loss ... i'm new to the game but I know the pain it causes

10:28 am

cybernan

at 5 - at an angle

10:28 am

FMitch

BJ that might be something at your end, cos at mine it is one of the joys to see the grid update and go grey and for a red tick to apprear. Without having to f5 or anything.

10:29 am

pbr

got an7 thanks still working on an5

10:30 am

brandyjack

similar to the ti4/4

10:31 am

ch 6 is the first 5 letters of ch 8 with a vowel added to the end

162 words today

10:34 am

brandyjack

Ok, now it's updating. But the seven letters did not update from 3 to 7. while i was doing them, but it just updated from 7 to 8 and ticked. Could have been my end with all the programs I have running in the background.

10:35 am

Subdued greetings Babblers...

10:37 am

lola100

Hi swmbo. Thanks for moving a few messages around on bab anon. Can I change the thread name? Was a bit upset when I started it and have realise that I put sandy instead of sarah.

10:38 am

pbr

stillcrazy -- can't get that to work, I must be blind, I have all the other CH's except 6

10:38 am

brandyjack

Just click the orioginal message lola and hit edit, can change any part of it.

10:39 am

pbr

wait a minute, I am missing a CH8 -now on to figuring it out

10:39 am

brandyjack

pbr, it's the shiny metal one, not the song leader or singers.

10:39 am

stillcrazy

only use the first 5 letters of the 8 one and add the vowel that is in the first 5 letters

10:39 am

Smeltzdog

pbr - think DNA

10:40 am

brandyjack

8s

oops forgot there were two 8 letter ones...so sorry

10:42 am

Got them both--thanks!!!!!!! need more coffee

10:43 am

brandyjack

Unfortunately, it will only change your message. It won't change everyone elses. They'll have to do it themselves, or SWMBO will have to change them. Most seem to know her name is Sarah, but a few don't. Their online acronym confuses more than a few of us.

10:52 am

EthieKid

Thanks for those clues Jack. You rock!

10:54 am

renee.fuzz

help! i can't find the last ca 5/12!

10:55 am

speedfreak

swmbo: Thank you for keeping the site so well, you are awesome, can ovest's message be deleted when she thought she had the name wrong? I hate to edit anyone elses' words?? Home alone today so would rather be with you guys...

10:57 am

lshult

Thanks for all the clues brandyjack - so now I have all the 7's & 8's, but with 97 other words to go, i've still along haul ahead of me!!

10:58 am

brandyjack

I can't figure out the first ca 5/12. The second is based on the ca6/21, ca7/32 that follow it.

10:59 am

brandyjack

Those clues came from sprite much earlier in the day, with only her faux pas cleaned up.

10:59 am

speedfreak

brandy add a vowel to the end of your ca4/5

11:04 am

brandyjack

there are two ca4/5's and my list shows a ca5/12 following the first one. But there is only one reachable vowel after the first one and babble says no way. Of course, once I looked at it (just now), I found the consonant thatreally follows it and changes the container into an olde english negative.

11:06 am

Deutsch

Hi everyone, had to take a short break. But I'm ready to babble.

11:07 am

Ok, thanks Sprite and Jack

I live in New York but I used to live in the midwest and visited Chicago a lot. I keep telling my fellow New Yorkers that "once you go deep dish, you don't go back". I miss the pizza in that city a lot. I was on Giordano's website last night trying to figure out if they can fedex one to Manhattan.

1:46 pm

LeslieAnn

not me, though! get lost most every time i go up there :)

1:47 pm

mamabear

Haven't been in that area for many years....
"O" - I know what you mean - they just built a Home Run Inn about 6 blocks from my house.... nothing like Chicago Pizza!!!!

1:56 pm

2:09 pm

LeslieAnn

babble dude just gave a clue for that

2:10 pm

mamabear

ooops. got it now. thanks babbledude & LeslieAnn

2:12 pm

mamabear

If the puzzle allows the as 6/24, I wonder why it doesn't allow the same word beginning with a tr ????

2:13 pm

babble dude

because they're two words

2:14 pm

mamabear

and the as 6/4 isn't two words???

2:15 pm

babble dude

good point...it must have a different meaning

2:17 pm

Anj, lola--
How you doin'?

2:34 pm

lola100

Still sad joel, but getting there. How about you?

2:35 pm

Dachef

hi all!

Just got back from holiday to find a rather subdued atmosphere around. Just scrolled down and discovered why.

We all come here to relax and have a good laugh (usually at each otheres ineptitudes!), but sometimes reality transcends all.

Obviously, heartfelt condolences go to those who have lost.

2:35 pm

Anj

Hi Joel. Feeling a bit chirpier now

2:36 pm

Anj

Hi Dachef. Well said.

2:36 pm

bodkinz

finally finished :)

2:36 pm

lola100

Hi dachef! Yup, a bit blue round here today. We missed you tho', how was your holiday?

2:36 pm

joelgee

Weird. Sad. Thinking about sandr. Talked with a friend. She didn't get how some people playing a word game could feel so much about people they only know online.
Just mostly quiet and being obsessive about the Babble thing.
Don't really want to do much else.

2:37 pm

Linda0

Well done bodkinz - i've still got 24 to find!

2:38 pm

joelgee

I have two words left. They're both m-words. I think one is mo5/12.

2:39 pm

Dachef

holiday was pretty relaxing - thanx! Finding babbling really tough today cos Ive been speaking nothing but Spanish for a week! Keep thinking, why doesnt it accept that?

2:39 pm

lola100

joel, I think unless you spend the time on here playing, joking around you can't understand. It's more than just a game, we are a community of friends.

2:39 pm

mamabear

mo 5/12 is plural of mo 4/5

2:40 pm

joelgee

I'm missing one mo4/5 too. Figures.

2:41 pm

joelgee

I could be wrong. Sometimes I lose track. All I know for sure: two m-words: one is a 4 and one is a 5.

2:45 pm

joelgee

found the last 4-letter word. Too obvious for words.

2:47 pm

Dachef

joelgee - need the fish?

2:48 pm

joelgee

I need something. I don't think it's a fish.

2:50 pm

joelgee

That's it. Done. Hope we hear from sandr soon, but not holding my breath.
the missing mo5 was a plural. Obvious beyond obviousness.

2:50 pm

mamabear

can anyone point me in the right direction of the an 7 please?

2:51 pm

joelgee

To be against nations fighting one another.

2:52 pm

lola100

Well done joel :)

2:52 pm

Anj

Mama, think of the 'troops out of Iraq' lobby

2:52 pm

Dachef

mambear - somebody who is against fighting is "an*****".

2:53 pm

joelgee

lola, thanks. seems like a hollow thing, though.

2:53 pm

mamabear

thanks all!!!! somehow I thought it would be the same as one of the an 5's - but then I don't have them either!!! c'mon brain - kick in

2:55 pm

Linda0

oh happy days! just finished for today. can now go and finish reading the newspaper and do the su du kos!

2:55 pm

lola100

Well done linda :)

2:58 pm

gnubee

Mamabear, one of the an5's is an anagram of Kris Kringle

2:59 pm

gnubee

the other an5 is like a shaver with an extra letter

3:03 pm

mamabear

gnubee - thanks - got the guy in the edr utis!!!!! working on the shaver clue.....

3:07 pm

LesHart51

Would some kind soul give me a hint for st 8/40 ?

3:10 pm

pinecone05

plural of st 7 / 28

3:11 pm

LeslieAnn

which is just an extention of st 5/10

3:11 pm

pinecone05

st 7 / 28 is st 5 / 10 with an additional ending

Hi all. I pretty much lurk (my brain doesn't work very well when I try to find the words and chat at the same time). I feel the sadness from every one for our babbler friends. I think in todays world is nice to know that so many people from all walks of life can truly care about someone. Gives one faith in the human race.

3:24 pm

floppykitten

Jacula

Good evening fellow Babblers. I was going to come in here and moan about my bad back - missed a chair yesterda evening and landed on my coccyx - but, having read back through the log, it hardly seems important in the great scheme of things. Heartfelt condolences from myself and Paul go out to Sarah and Richard in their sad time of loss. xx

3:27 pm

LeslieAnn

how's about sa 6/27?

3:29 pm

lola100

Hi jacs. Sorry to hear about your back, hope you feel better soon. There is a condolence thread under general at babblers anon if you want to leave a message.

Thanks mama, you really are holding the fort for us at the moment. Much appreciated.

3:39 pm

Hello everyone..just dropped in for a few between school and church...sad news...will certainly light a candle for them...see you later.

3:44 pm

mamabear

lola - yvw.... but I am the one that should be doing the thanking. finding the world of babble came at a time in my life when I needed some friends. This has truly filled a void for me right now and I am the one that is appreciative...... although Idid not chat directly with sandr, I saw some of her posts and I truly am sympathetic .....

3:44 pm

LeslieAnn

how about ca 6/21 (not the one that is also plural)

3:47 pm

Jacula

ca6/21 - the raised, rear part of a saddle. Sounds a bit like a ca you would light.

lola great icon....is that a fractal?

3:51 pm

lola100

Thanks blaze, I think so. Googled it a while ago and can't quite remember how I got it.

3:53 pm

Blaze

there were some great websites on the other nite that featured the fractals etc... I think it was Baggo....

3:53 pm

Jacula

Gosh, it's like Bonfire Night outside here... fireworks going off left, right and centre. One of the cat's is out - hope he comes home soon.:-/

3:56 pm

Jacula

No idea why I used a 'greengrocer's apostrophe' back there in 'cats' ! Oops!

3:56 pm

mamabear

what is a fractal?
and jacula, why the fireworks?

3:57 pm

Blaze

We try to keep our cats in as much as possible. one of them will hide in the pot cupboard when he is scared.... in our community fireworks have been banned this year.

3:58 pm

Jacula

Mamabear - It's Bonfire Night next weekend but a lot of people seem to be having it this weekend instead. We're off to an organised evening at a local pub next Saturday night - bonfire, fireworks and a pig roast. Hope the weather's better than it was last year!

3:58 pm

The only thing I enjoy is trying to come up with costume ideas to wear to work - I usually win 1st place for creativity *blush* - one year I was dressed in a blue sweatsuit - blue gloves, had a blue "Loop" of material on my head and was holding a saucepan.... I was a ?????

4:05 pm

Blaze

Tele tubbie ??

4:06 pm

Jacula

When I was a child we'd sometimes play Hallowe'en games like apple-bobbing but never dressed up or trailed round the neighbourhood knocking on doors. Wouldn't be a safe thing to do these days - I never let my kids do it when they were younger. We (my generation of children, not my own children) did trail round neighbour's houses with a 'Guy' though - 'Penny for the Guy'. LOL.

4:06 pm

Thanks for the site blaze, will check it out when I've finished today.

4:15 pm

mamabear

Blaze - many people did guess Tele-tubbie!!!! but potholder was correct. Ok how about this one:
I made a long tan colored loose dress - sprayed the chest area with spray adhesive and sprinkled it with sand, and glued some seashells around. I wore a witch's hat with netting going from the top tip down to the rim and hung seashells randomly on that -and then did various witch accessories - black nails, long black wig, etc.......

Jacula

Thanks ajschuring. So am I!

4:52 pm

Jac, that film is based on a book called the Coming Global Superstorm. Hollywood stirred it up a little but the basic premise holds true. And the north Atalantic conveyor has already broken once due to a heavy run off of meltwater down the St Lawrence Seaway. :/

4:52 pm

mo

Jacula thanks i will work on that ....

4:53 pm

Mo - the sa4/4 is like a shiny material with no end.

Goodness! I am very sorry to hear about that! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sarah and Richard.

4:54 pm

pinecone05

thank you Jacula for the sa clues

4:55 pm

Jen, there's a thread at babbleanon if you want to check.

The heavy run off of meltwater down the St Lawrence Seaway was a long time ago though ... and linked to ice age conditions we haven't got at the moment thank goodness!

Anj - My daughter went to see 'Saw2' yesterday. Very gruesome, she said. She's gone to Subculture in Brum for the Hallowe'en 'do' tonight. I suppose she and her boyfr will crawl in around 5am.:-(

Yee Haw!! Finally done. Anyone need help before I go to get some work done. Really I don't mind putting off work a little longer. LOL

5:02 pm

I still freak out when I think about how I felt coming out of Silence of the Lambs for the 1st time! My roommate and I slept with the light on that night.

5:11 pm

Anj

Jac, i'm not into the saw style of film. I've heard Saw2 is a bit of a turkey tho'. I'm giving it Halloween at a Motorhead gig tomorrow night :)

5:11 pm

Jacula

Mo - Sorry for delay in replying. I was mooching around the BabAnon threads. I'm in Worcestershire - on the border near to West Midlands.

5:13 pm

Jacula

Paul's moved on to the horror channel now and 'Hellraiser'.

5:14 pm

speedfreak

Growing up we used to have big parties at the drive in watching all the horror movies, so now I enjoy them, more than be afraid. some are just soo gory though..

5:14 pm

Jacula

Anj - sounds good. Have a headbang for me (makes me giddy doing it these days!) LOL.

5:14 pm

brandyjack

Well Anj, people here in Canada are complaining about the cold and winters being more extreme lately. But fact is, the winters I remember from whan I was a pre-teen some 40 years ago were a lot worse. We would have snow at halloween and bu mid-november it would be here to stay until early april with at least one serious blow in the last week of April/first week of May. Only one year in the 23 I've been married have we had snow continuous from November onward. And only one april snow storm (I do not consider 6-8 inches over 48 hours a storm). While I don't doubt man is having an effect, I think nature and our sun have a much greater effect. Worst of it is, no way to prove anything or ameliorate any of it. Just have to sit here and take whatever blows our way.

5:16 pm

Jacula

I'm with you on that one BrandyJack. I think that, although man has some hand in what's happening, it is more a cycle of the earth that's at work.

5:17 pm

mo

I cant believe it is so windy there ...although we seem to be very fortunate weatherwise in this area ....not too much rain, and very rarely have snow

5:17 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - Just reading the book 'Pet Sematery' freaked me out. I've never been able to watch the film!

5:18 pm

doxy1lover

jacula, that was one of his freakiest. That one bothered me and I've read all of Stephen King

5:18 pm

speedfreak

well all, been off and on all day, finished the puzzle, doesn't seem like a big deal today, once again want to state to all my babble friends Thank You!! It is such a joy to have this "game" to come home to after work or just for fun on weekends, I have learned a lot and enjoy the chatter..Keep Safe Enjoy the Evening.:)

5:19 pm

Jen

Jacula, snuck into that movie when I was a teen... had nightmares about my cats coming back to haunt me! Or maybe I am just a wimp about horror movies! lol

5:20 pm

Atalante

The Stand *really* freaked me out. Never watched that film! But I went to see Misery at the theatre last week, and that was wonderful

5:20 pm

Jacula

I recently recommended Stephen King and James Herbert as horror reading for a friend of my daughter's (her ex-boyfr.) He is loving the books. I'm going to start him off on Dennis Wheatley when he's finished the others, beginning with 'The Haunting of Toby Jugg' which, I believe, is one of the best horror books ever written.

5:20 pm

Niamh

I love Stephen King, but evil children is sooo freaky, that movie (and the book) were very.... *shivers*

5:21 pm

Atalante

*shudders* don't mention Dennis Wheatley! My mother gave me one to read when I was about 10. Read 2 pages and was so traumatised I wouldn't read horror books for years!

5:21 pm

doxy1lover

The Stand is the only King film my husband does like. It was fun here when he was filming that one.

5:22 pm

Jacula

LOL Atalante. I really do believe he was the maestro of the horror genre.

5:23 pm

Anj

Hi Brandyjack. Yes, i've read somewhere about climate becoming more temperate. At least you get real weather over there and get on with it. The wheels tend to come off over here when we get a snowfall. I can only remember 2 bad snow winters in the last 20 years here, but they are forecasting a white one again over here this xmas.

5:23 pm

Atalante

I've never dared open another one of his books! The one I "read" was The Ka of Gifford Hillary. Is it really scary? Or was it just my 10 year old mind being horrified?

5:23 pm

Jacula

Speedfreak - have a good evening yourself.

5:24 pm

Anj

'nite Speed - take care over there :)

5:26 pm

ExWren

I flew out to Toronto on 1st April 1996, with the Choir that I sing with, and we had heavy snow for most of the 10 days we were there. We couldn't go up the CN Tower, we couldn't even see it!

5:27 pm

mo

must away now see you all in a few days as we are off to Shropshire for a short break... good luck to everyone, bye

5:27 pm

Jacula

Atalante - I don't know. I haven't read that one. I'll certainly seek it out now though. Just checking my bookshelves (which are library-like in their vastness of choice of reading materials) I've got 'The Haunting of Toby Jugg', 'To The Devil, A Daughter', 'The Irish Witch' and 'Strange Conflict'. Could have sworn I've got 'The Devil Rides Out', too, but maybe it's got put back in the wrong place.

5:27 pm

Jacula

Have a good time, Mo.

5:28 pm

mo

Thanks Jacula

5:29 pm

Atalante

Shropshire? Lovely lovely!

ExWren

snap! MAMA BEAR, I've been out this evening and I still need 52 as well

5:43 pm

brandyjack

Anj, at Nortel, we tend to snicker at our colleagues down south. Half an inch of snow and they are pooched. They have no snow plows, or sanders so they simply cannot deal with it. When it snows, they just shut the building and take a vacation. Occasionally one of them makes the seriously foolish mistake of travelling to Belleville in the winter. It's a hoot. But, we have the equipment to deal with it. Except for those pansies in Toronto that absolutely panicked couple of years ago when they got half a yard over the weekend. Some of them had heart attacks just thinking about shoveling their driveways. Of course, considering the roads there are much wider than their front yards, they probably wound up with 7 to 8 feet of the stuff piled on their front lawns afterwards. Damaged their scissor cut grass blades no end I'm sure....

5:43 pm

Jacula

'Anj gives Lola a chaste peck on the cheek'??? *Jac checks alcohol percentage of wine she's drinking.*

5:44 pm

5:46 pm

Jacula

If we finally have proper snow in UK again this winter I will embarrass my kids by making snowmen and snowladies, and 'rude' snowmen and snowladies etc. LOL. If there's enough snow, I'll go up the hills at the back and do what we used to do on the hockey pitch at school - roll a giant snowball.:-)))

5:46 pm

brandyjack

Although I guess even the coastal area gets plastered. Wifes grandmother lived across the boarder from Calais, and they got a lot more snow than we do. We tend to get the -30C weather though so it evens out.

5:47 pm

dromano66

portland area/coastal

lola100

jacs, I got excited when we had about 4 inches of snow last february....was the first I'd ever seen. Played in it like a two year old and embarassed myself in front of the new neighbours. We'd just moved, I think I am still known as the crazy South African at no 8 :)

5:49 pm

groovygranny

Mama I think soo too !!!

5:50 pm

groovygranny

I haven't seen snow since I was in NY in 99' it was 26 below and I was miserable .. it drops below 65 here and im freezing ..... thats bad !!!

5:51 pm

Jacula

Lol, Lola.:-))) I was just off looking in my archives for pics of me in the Very Cold Winter of ... not sure what year, but I look no more than 18 months to 2ish in the pics. Maybe 3. Was born 1957, so could have been 1960. Can't find pics at the moment though.

5:52 pm

Jen

Mmmmmm, snow. We had about 3 feet at one time last winter in Nebraska, but I doubt I'll see that much here in DC! lol

5:54 pm

lola100

I must admit to being a bit worried about this whole "coldest winter in 65 years" thing I keep hearing :/ I'm not built for that kind of weather, lol!

To go to NY I had to go buy a coat ... I gave mine away when we moved here to Orlando ....

thank you for the drunk rat clue

5:58 pm

Jacula

I've just put a cd of Maeve Binchy stories on, but I'm not concentrating on it. I'll listen to it when I'm ironing tomorrow.

5:59 pm

brandyjack

Groovygranny, being cold at 65 isn't whimpy, just being acclimatised. I don't have much trouble with the winters here because I just quit wearing my shorts a week ago. Temperature was all of +1C/34F thursday morning. Now that I'm wearing long pants, even the polrar bears cuddle up to me for warmth. And possibly a little snack too.......

5:59 pm

mamabear

pinecone - I saw that clue earlier, but couldn't find the lush rodent for the life of me

5:59 pm

hey guys......sad news...very sad

5:59 pm

6:00 pm

tbear

pinecone can you direct me a little with the drunken rat one...have monkey puzzled and thought and NADA

6:00 pm

Jacula

BrandyJack - Stopped wearing your shorts last week? Oh! You've not beaten the Geordies and the 'Monkeyhangers' (apologies to those who live on the Tees for that expression) then.

6:00 pm

lola100

Hi tbear, how you doing? There's a thread at bab anon under general if you want to leave them a message.

6:01 pm

mamabear

TBEAR - glad i'm not the only one not smelling the rat

6:01 pm

Jacula

Lola - Grimsby's in NE Lincs. There's one in Ontario, too.

6:02 pm

tbear

I was born in the year of the rat 1960...but it hasn't helped me.... LOLa....will do

6:03 pm

Jacula

ra6/18. Another clue - rodent + ending of word that is oppisite to stalagmite, or, as one of my teachers used to say, 'Mites go up, ***es come down!' LOL.

6:03 pm

pbr

gotta leave for now with 125 words..maybe later.

I've actually never seen a polar bear except at the zoo. And given the size of those mobile dental displays, don't ever want to.... Doesn't get cold enough here for them Although one year it dropped to -30C on New years and stayed there for 3 months. Was hard on the vehicles.

6:04 pm

Jacula

It's hammering down with rain here now, still v. windy, too.

6:05 pm

Schroeder

I found the rat!!!

6:05 pm

tbear

Thanks guys.....for yr help

6:06 pm

mamabear

It is my dream to someday go see polar bears in the wild. Have an excellent zoo 10 min. away and go there as often as I can to see them. They have 4 of them right now and the matriarch of the group is with cub(s)!!

6:06 pm

Jacula

BrandyJack - I HATE seeing polar bears in captivity. They look so... brain-damaged; so depressed, pacing and pacing, and pacing. No capitve area is big enough for them.

6:06 pm

groovygranny

brandyjack , my son is in the Air Force stationed in Greenland .. I talked to him 2 days ago and they have a polar bear feeding at the trash bins ... they are trying to get someone to come trap it .. if it gets agressive they are going to shoot it

6:06 pm

pbr

ok, now I am gone --finally got the RA6

6:07 pm

6:15 pm

mamabear

little bug + ra

6:15 pm

AEuser

little bug plus ra

6:16 pm

Jacula

Robert - for the other an5, think of a Buddhist chant and take the first letter off.

6:16 pm

mamabear

can i have clues on the jo 5/28 and jo 6/45 purty pleeese?

6:16 pm

robert240

all i can think of is ommmmmmmmmm

6:17 pm

Jacula

Actually, a better clue might be to say, 'complete the record title' - Hare Krishna Ma****'.

6:17 pm

robert240

think of those DC demonstrators

6:17 pm

robert240

mama, think of those DC demonstrators fro your jo's

6:18 pm

Schroeder

Ty for an clues got them.

6:18 pm

Jacula

Robert - for the an7/44 - think of Joan Baez. She was very an4/4 + endless wa4/8.

6:19 pm

robert240

got that one jac, ty.

6:20 pm

mamabear

robert - thanks. never heard of em before, but thanks! how about the sa 6/27 and sa 7/40?

6:22 pm

robert240

i just found those by chance. think of a spice for paella to start, takeaway the last three letters, and then add an actors part

6:22 pm

Jacula

Mamabear - who was the heroine of Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Women'? She starts the jo words you need. Use her plus wa4/8 for your plural and take off the last letter for your singular form.

6:22 pm

Isaiah40

any clue for to6/21?

6:23 pm

AEuser

the to cracks me up, man/boys name, plus singlular female mammary part

6:23 pm

Jacula

I gave a clue for the 'sa' words some time ago in the log...

...a certain 70s curly hairstyle, af4/7, is at the centre of both the 'sa' words. Hope that helps.

6:23 pm

mamabear

Hi Temple - could be worse.... how you doin?

6:25 pm

Jacula

Hello Temple Owl. Did you light that candle?

6:26 pm

Jacula

Erm - Temple Owl - why did you just post a word in the log?

6:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh i am SOOOOOO sorry ! i would say i'm a little unccoordinated today! LOL!

6:26 pm

AEuser

whatever it is, that word just puts a smile on my face

6:26 pm

mamabear

Jacula - how is your back? Did your warm teddy bear help???

6:27 pm

Jacula

Oh well! Never mind! Don't forget to type it into the box under the grid! LOL.

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

Yes jac i surely did....

6:28 pm

Deutsch

Hi everyone, I'm back to get the last two.

6:29 pm

Jacula

Back is eased at the moment, thanks, Mamabear. Haven't used the teddy yet, think the gas-lift chair and the Chardonnay are doing the trick for now. Strangely enough, one of the most comfortable seats I normally have (car seat on passenger side) was excruciatingly painful to sit in earlier when we went shopping, as were speed bumps!) Paul obligingly drove home the long way to avoid them on the way back.

6:29 pm

AEuser

pinecone, the last mo means spotted or blotchy

6:29 pm

robert240

any clues for the as's?

6:30 pm

Schroeder

Looks like I'll have to cut this one short. Have a going away party for one of my students going to Tawain for 2 years. Should be back for the next round...

6:30 pm

pinecone05

for the as think dustbin

6:30 pm

Deutsch

Robert think dustbin

6:30 pm

AEuser

as's: something you may put your cigarette out in, and the plural

6:30 pm

welcome back Deutsch - I envy you needing only 2 - growing weary today...still need 41

Pine, we're channeling each other! lol

6:31 pm

mamabear

see ya Schroeder - have fun at your Parteeeeee!!!

6:31 pm

robert240

i feel stupid about those.

6:31 pm

Jacula

'as' words - imagine stubbing your cigarette out in a tin rather than a 'tray'. Odd thing is, although Babble accepts both of these words, it doesn't accept them with a 't' at the start although those words describe dustbins.

6:31 pm

Deutsch

How many more, Mama?

6:32 pm

pinecone05

thank you AEuser for the blotchy clue

6:32 pm

mamabear

Robert - the only word that does not exist in Babblonia is stupid.....
Deutsch - I still need 40

6:33 pm

Jera

Whew, I'm back... how is everyone this fine almost Halloween evening?

6:33 pm

AEuser

your welcome pinecone and robert, it's nice to actually be able to give clues rather than needing them

6:33 pm

robert240

all i need is the sc 6/21. any thoughts???

6:33 pm

robert240

and ty mama

6:34 pm

mamabear

AEuser - it's all a process!!!! Welcome back Jera!!

6:34 pm

Jacula

Hi Jera.

6:34 pm

mamabear

sc 6/21 - I love this clue - what holds a man's gonads!!!

6:34 pm

AEuser

sounds like latin for the body part on the male that holds the testes

6:34 pm

Jacula

sc6/21 - think male genitalia.

6:35 pm

AEuser

sorry, that was pertaining to the sc word

6:35 pm

robert240

ty jac. . . but i often do! :)

6:35 pm

mamabear

Jacula..... OK, I am,...... NOW WHAT????? LOL

6:35 pm

Jacula

Robert - it ends in a short 'thank you' rather than a gastric word.

6:35 pm

Deutsch

Ok, I give, I need the first ca 5/12, the one before the poem part, please.

6:36 pm

robert240

no, i got it. . . .

6:36 pm

robert240

deutch. old fashioned way of sayin ca4/5

6:37 pm

mamabear

Deutsch - add a t to the end of your ca 4/5

6:37 pm

Jacula

Deutsch - ca word - think Shakespeare 'ca*** thou?'

6:38 pm

joelgee

Hey. Just stopped by for a moment. How's everybody doing?

6:38 pm

Jacula

Mamabear - had you alrady got that word or were you just off dreaming on the clue? ROFLOL.

7:13 pm

Jacula

*Christmas is a-coming and my finger is still bare. The ridge from the old wedding ring has been replaced by hair. I liked it when the ridge had gone; it meant so had the pain, but now the finger just looks bare - needs adorning once again!

LOL. This published poet's crap off-the-cuff but heartfelt poem for tonight.

7:14 pm

Anj

lol I could try, problem is my taste in jewellery is a little unconventional. I like Alchemy Gothic stuff for a start...

7:14 pm

RubyBlues

7:15 pm

lola100

jacs, lol! Have you shown him the poem...or the hairy finger??

7:15 pm

Jacula

Lola - not really his fault. He's a decade behind me in the divorce stakes.

Anj - my tastes swing that way too, re adornments.

7:16 pm

Jacula

Not shown him the poem yet, no, cos I only just wrote it. Saved it to notepad on the desktop though, so he'll surely read it later.:-)

7:18 pm

Jacula

Mama - le6/18 - a pulse beloved by hippies, especially 'Neil' from 'The Young Ones'.

7:45 pm

Smeltzdog

Indiana doesn't change time! It's probably the reason I live here.

7:46 pm

lola100

Smeltz- SA doesn't either. It takes some getting used to!

7:47 pm

mamabear

smeltzdog - you don't change time? We do in Illinois.....

7:47 pm

Jacula

Later today, before any considerations about clocks, or the size of my pile of ironing, I need to feed the Christmas cakes with brandy.

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmmm i have the hard shake, and the singular and plural that come from the three lettter word that's too short - have no idea what they mean - i resorted to monkey typing...

7:48 pm

Griffums

Mamabear, are you still there?

7:48 pm

Smeltzdog

mama - today I'm on your time, tomorrow I'm on Ohio time.

7:48 pm

7:52 pm

jacquelyn_beth

First time here... Can anyone tell me how many words there are to find?

7:52 pm

Sheila Rae

thanks Owl

7:52 pm

Sheila Rae

162 words

7:53 pm

Griffums

Was cruising the log for clues and saw your note about wanting to see polar bears in the wild. I've had several experiences and won't bore you with long stories. But for someone like me who is no adventurer, it is a mind adjustment to be in a situation where you are not at the top of the food chain. Grizzlies, not a big deal if you use good sense and communicate well. Foxes actually maybe more dangerous because of rabies. Polar bear, that's worlds beyond.

7:53 pm

Jacula

Anj - I will do! You take good car of yourself and Lola, eh?

Words for grid - 162 today.

7:53 pm

jacquelyn_beth

Well then, I guess i have quite a ways to go... Thanks for the info.

7:54 pm

Jacula

* meant good CARE.

7:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

yw sheila rae - if i could remember i'd tell you - it was a definition to google...

7:54 pm

Griffums

...Or, as one of our helicopter pilots murmured one day as we set down in the tundra between a young male polar bear hiding behind a sea bluff to stalk six musk oxen: "Here you go boy - humans in a can."

7:54 pm

Smeltzdog

j_beth - There are 162 words but you might as well pay the 10 bucks now because you'll be addicted by morning. It's much less frustrating this way. Also, you can click on the Babbler's annon. link on the right and then click general to get the first two letters of each word for hints.

7:55 pm

Jacula

Griffums - I'd quite like to hear your long stories - but post them in Babblers Anon.

7:55 pm

Griffums

Yep. Sorry - no more bandwidth. I've got a puzzle to finish -

7:56 pm

Jacula

LOL Griffums! (Just read your last posting.)

7:56 pm

jacquelyn_beth

Thanks S-dog. I'll likely do that when I get back from lunch break.

7:56 pm

Griffums

There's a ton of halloween chat in the log so if there's a clue for ha 6/21 I have missed it?

7:56 pm

Jacula

'Humans in a can', still chuckling.

7:57 pm

Anj

Jac, I always do ;)

7:58 pm

Jacula

ha6/21 is same as ca6/21 bar the initial letter.

7:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

lola - tyvm for j words!

7:58 pm

Jacula

Always do what, Anj? Sorry, I've lost track!:-(

7:59 pm

Griffums

Why, so it is. Thanks Jac -

7:59 pm

Sheila Rae

Okay, I scrolled back to find my clues and came across a discussion about amounts of snow in Canada. We just moved to Northern New York and are waiting to see our first "big" snow here. I am scared now. :)

8:00 pm

8:02 pm

Anj

Yay Jera!

8:03 pm

Sheila Rae

Okay, now I am really cold. I hate ice, and I am from Iowa.

8:03 pm

Sheila Rae

congrats Jera

8:03 pm

RubyBlues

8:04 pm

mamabear

Griffums - thanks for the polar bear gab.... humans in a can is too funny!!!! Would also love to hear your stories. I can't understand how animals so beautiful and "cuddly" looking could be mean and dangerous - but hey, you gotta eat!!!!! I need 6 more words.... gonna go try and find em now.

8:04 pm

Sheila Rae

the guy we bought our house from sold us his snow blower, so we are set there.

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

Smeltzdog

8:06 pm

Jera

If no one requires my assistance, I shall head for bed... Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy is the bedtime movie tonight!

8:06 pm

Jacula

Anj - oh yes, I see now. And so you should. T'was nice to see a love story enfolding, just like me and my other half's did ont Net. Not that we told anyone much, but you get my drift. Legend goes that when you're not looking for love it will find you....

Nuff said?

8:06 pm

RubyBlues

its the plural of the te 4

8:06 pm

Sheila Rae

some day, somewhere, a question will be asked about polar bears, and all of us left handed people will remember this bit of trivia tonight.

8:07 pm

mamabear

te 5 = te + a pork **** roast, minus the last consonant

8:08 pm

Jacula

Sheila - indeed we left-handers will! I have a tee-shirt that bears the legend, 'Only left-handed people are in their right minds'. LOL.

8:08 pm

Smeltzdog

DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!

8:12 pm

Charm

Hey, MamaBear. Just winding down from a really busy day. Attended one of the cancer survivors day events (hubby's work). Did some major, major, major shopping - and bought nothing! Made lamb curry for dinner. Now it's just me, the Monster Baby, a cup of coffee, and all my babblers....

8:13 pm

8:15 pm

Smeltzdog

polar bears are also one of the few mammals to have hair on the soles of their feet.

8:15 pm

mamabear

welcome back lianakate - how are you feeling? Good to "see" you!!!

8:15 pm

Sheila Rae

You guys are cracking me up with the polar bear talk.

8:15 pm

Jacula

Kate - you haven't missed us all. I'm still here! Anj and Lola have also been popping up in a boo kind of Halowe'en way, too.

8:16 pm

lianakate

Mama..was able to stay OUT of bed for most of the day! Ty, for inquiring. :)

8:16 pm

mamabear

And did you know polar bears are really not white?????? Their hair is very thin clear "tubes" that appear to be white by reflecting lite.

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:17 pm

lianakate

thanks, owl

8:17 pm

mamabear

Sheila Rae - probably my fault..... polar bear lover that I am....

8:18 pm

Hi liana, how're you doing today?

8:18 pm

mamabear

Let me know if it helps and I'll go get me a bag!!!!

8:18 pm

Sheila Rae

Well, we all are learning a lot here. My husband said he didn't knkow about the hair on the feet thing.

8:18 pm

lola100

Hi cathy :)

8:18 pm

Jacula

My indoors cat (the black lots of Persian in her) one has hair on the soles of her feet - it's so long, it's embarrassing now. She nevers ventures further off carpeted floors than she has to! Forgive her! She had a hard life as a young stray and now sshe's middle-aged and enjoying having found a human 'mug' to take care of her every need and validate her kitten-belief that she's and Egyptian Goddess lost and now found.

8:19 pm

Cathy

Hi lola -- how've you been? Still throwing those jacuzzi parties?

8:19 pm

8:21 pm

8:39 pm

ca 6/21 is plural of 5/12. It sounds like a type of horses pace, but with a different last vowel.

8:39 pm

Charm

Ca6/21 - "The raised rear part of a saddle." *looks* like baseball player Mickey Ma****.
Ca6/21 - "The person who leads a church choir or congregation in singing."

8:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:46 pm

Sheila Rae

We are in New York, and my daughter said the puzzle changes at 1 AM our time.

8:47 pm

Smeltzdog

So when does it get started in Europe?

Hi MAMA, and good night.

Greetings all

9:37 pm

kkeegs

how many words?

9:37 pm

Dianne

Morning All.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Did something happen to the site? When I logged off last night I had found about 30 words, and now they're all gone. My list is empty.

9:39 pm

Dianne

GW - try scrolling all the way down - sometimes if the log is really full the words show at the bottom - odd I know but it has happened to me.

9:40 pm

shorty

162

9:40 pm

Blaze

grey w turn off the chat log and then refresh your page..

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you Blaze, that did it

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi torgone, greywoulf, dianne, blaze...

9:50 pm

9:53 pm

Jax

I'm done, anyone need clues?

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Eventually, right now I'm focusing

9:58 pm

marybcmt

Hi this is my first time here. I have no clue what to do. I've been inserting words, so what next?

10:00 pm

Jax

Mary - that is the main focus, try to get as many of the 162 words that you can

10:01 pm

marybcmt

how did you know there were 162 words? do you keep a running tab?

10:02 pm

Dianne

mary - welcome to Babble. It helps to read the rules at the top and also if you scroll through all the chat log you will see many helpful clues. Have fun!

10:04 pm

marybcmt

thnx jax and dianne. I read the rules, guess I better do it again...

10:04 pm

Jax

Mary - usually someone posts them earlier in the game. They also post how many A works, C words etc. so you have an idea what you are looking for. If you want, look to the side of your window and under "Friends of Babble" click on Babbler's anon. then Click on General, then click on stats. It will give you all the stats for this game. It even breaks them down by 2 letters and how many letters in the word. Example. an 4 4 is a word that starts with an, is 4 letters and worth 4 points

10:05 pm

Jax

Diane- i don't recognize your flag. Where are you from?

10:05 pm

Dianne

Jax - I live in Hong Kong.

10:06 pm

Jax

Wow Diane. That is cool. It is so nice to have people from all over here.

10:06 pm

marybcmt

thank you again.

10:07 pm

Dianne

Jax - Where do you live?

10:07 pm

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

10:34 pm

mamabear

Smeltzdog - it's hard to take someone seriously who dresses in a hot dog bun.... but you ARE important!!!!

The ezboard is a separate entity .. You have to sign up for it ..

10:35 pm

mamabear

jfarrance - yes - do you have the st 5? work off that word and add to it

10:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

mamabear - it keeps telling me i'm missing something (no comments please!), go back and fill it in, then wipes out everything without telling me what it is...

10:36 pm

jfarrance

oh, that was easy, thanks!

10:36 pm

mamabear

torgone - I didn't sign up for an ezboard - but I was able to add a message in there....

10:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty torgone - i did post prior without any trouble.

10:38 pm

mamabear

10:38 pm

11:24 pm

Smeltzdog

*again I blubber with sorrow*

11:25 pm

Smeltzdog

11:26 pm

mamabear

Blaze - a rather cruel punishment - withhold my water, withhold my food, even consider bamboo shoots under my fingernails..... but do not take away my rite to Babble!!!!

11:29 pm

Blaze

That's better... now hugs and babble for all of you.

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

11:32 pm

Smeltzdog

GW - here's a hint. I copy the list from Babbler anon. and paste it in Word. If you give the page 5 columns you will have them all on one page. When you get a word, change the color to red. It helps you keep track.

11:32 pm

Blaze

grey do you have the one that ends in ra

11:32 pm

mamabear

ooops - didn't see that post - ok then - it is an + a means of transportation that runs on rails minus the in

JeeWhiz

11:39 pm

Blaze

JW at the near end of the puzzle the clues are very blatant.....not usual during most of the puzzle

11:40 pm

JeeWhiz

That's true Blaze, guess I needed more help than earlier...Brain drain....

11:40 pm

Blaze

Smeltz how are you doing.... are you finished...??

11:41 pm

GreyWoulf
