Good Evening everyone

harpjane

Chips Challenge is an odd little game that used to be in the "Best of Microsoft" or something like that. Came along with Tetris. Years ago. Can't get it any more.

12:07 am

JoyLee

Hi Joy, hi Grey Woulf. Doing good ty and yourself?

12:30 am

GreyWoulf

pretty good, I finally finished a board again - so I am pleased -- I know I say its about the hunt for the words rather than the final solution, but near misses get frustrating after awhile

12:32 am

ramix

got my first 100...off to bed. see u all tomorrow.

12:32 am

stillcrazy

well you go guy! Congrats and yes it is frustrating. Was there not long ago myself. Seems once you get over the hump of solving a few, it starts happening a lot more frequently

12:32 am

stillcrazy

oh. sorry...I see you want it posted when it comes up

12:47 am

stillcrazy ....what are your favorite foods?

12:47 am

stillcrazy

used to have two kitties but my grandson was allergic to them so I had to find them a good home

12:48 am

stillcrazy

Turkey/pasta/cheese to list a few

12:48 am

GreyWoulf

sorry to hear that, despite the name, I have three cats of my own

12:48 am

JoyLee

I cannot go to ezboard either. I guess I will have to play tomorrow. goodnight.

12:49 am

Debs40ish

Joy... I just posted them for you!

12:49 am

stillcrazy

night Joy

12:50 am

stillcrazy

That's super! What are their names?

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry JoyLee, see you tomorrow
Hopefully your job isn't too boring

12:50 am

JoyLee

I am looking for the list that breaks down all the words in the list and gives the first/second letter(either one), and the number of letters in the word, and the number of points you get

12:51 am

JoyLee

It is very boring. I have to sit here and wait for the phone to ring, and it never does really from 11pm-7am in the morning. I play babble to pass the time.

12:52 am

sherb

JoyLee - the reason the list is on another site is that some people prefer to find the words themselves, and by sharing clues, without the second letter list :)

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

I am very sorry to here that, JoyLee, but on the plus side-- this board is so full of words that you should be able to hit a bunch without the breakdown

12:54 am

stillcrazy

Joy, Debs posted the word list for you....look down the chat log.

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sherb! I finally finished a board again!!

12:54 am

stillcrazy

well hi there sherb!

12:55 am

JoyLee

example of the list that I am looking for(( c/7 32))

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

cybernan, HI! I missed your logon before -- hope you didn't think I was ignoring you

12:57 am

sherb

hi GW - well done! hi stillcrazy :) I haven't played much during the week recently, especially the big ones like this, but I usually look in before I go to work in the morning, just to see what the new puzzle is like. Sorry I won't have chance to play today, but good luck for this one :)

1:02 am

brandyjack

Well, I've had enough fighting with the stats generator for one night. QU with side by U causes trouble for some solvers.

1:03 am

GreyWoulf

OK, Harpjane, sorry to have kept you

1:03 am

stillcrazy

well I, for one, appreciate your fighting with them for us.

2:31 am

jenwould

2:32 am

jenwould

log damage, was Brandyjack apologizing for the HUGE posting he did for JoyLee

2:39 am

jenwould

I guess I'm going to start talking to myself... is anyone out there... hello, knock - knock...

2:39 am

jenwould

whoa is me, all alone in this world of letters into words into points into stats into rankings into the universe of babbleland.

2:40 am

FMitch

Morning, been busy monkey typing

2:40 am

FMitch

How's it going Jen?

2:40 am

jenwould

well hello pinky sunshine FMitch, your icon is always music to my eyes... ok, maybe not music but certainly positive and happy.

2:41 am

jenwould

it's good, whipped out the Qs first. then moved onto the Fs. Avoiding the vowels, as usual.

2:42 am

Atalante

I really wasn't going to play today - but an 11 letter word? Irresistible!

2:43 am

FMitch

LOL and thank you!
Can't stay to play too long but have just nailed the e11, in state of shock!

2:45 am

jenwould

wtg FM... not even close here... see you later, I know you'll be back. I always see you around 6 am my way or 3-4 hours from now. Good luck

2:46 am

jenwould

Ata~ LOVE the icon....

2:50 am

Atalante

thank you, jen :) its a pic I did a few weeks!

2:53 am

corpsvalue

Clue anyone for the e11 ... please?

2:56 am

jenwould

Ata~ you created it? I'm jealous, and not the least bit creative when it comes to art.

2:56 am

jenwould

cor~ I'd give one if I had it....looking myself

2:57 am

Readhead

corpsvalue ~ get back work!!!! :o)

2:58 am

corpsvalue

2:58 am

Readhead

Doh! I knew I shoulda stayed on that shift...

3:02 am

Kallia

blimey...got the e11 monkey typing..never heard of it !

3:03 am

Kallia

and no definition!

3:05 am

jenwould

ok, corp and read... curiousity has gotten the best of me...where do you both work?

3:05 am

Atalante

It was one of a big series of pics I did for an abstract art website :)

3:06 am

jenwould

what's the website, Ata, would love to check it out. ;-)

3:06 am

Readhead

Sorry, I'm off the clock. I could tell you but then I'd have to babble you... or somethin like that... ;o)

3:07 am

jenwould

ahhh, a babbler of mystery... love it read!

3:10 am

Readhead

Kallia - would it be too early to ask for a second letter on the e11?

3:11 am

Atalante

that site's still under construction, but most of the pics are on here, which is my personal little gallery! http://elegaer.deviantart.com/ gallery/

3:12 am

jenwould

Atalante, I'll check it out soon, when I need a mental break from the letters.....

3:13 am

myownvenus

en11

3:14 am

Readhead

Thanks myownvenus!

3:20 am

Atalante

I need one of those soon! This E11 is starting to annoy me :)

3:22 am

myownvenus

e11 is a weird word build on en5/10 and think beach

3:25 am

bubbles1

HEY GUYS IT'S A EN WORD

3:28 am

bubbles1

THE E11 IS AN EN WORD

3:31 am

jenwould

my-own-venus.....you are my-own-hero...what a Fantastic clue...

3:32 am

myownvenus

Did you get it? YAY

3:39 am

Eva

Is the en5 the one you see on a door? Beach?

3:40 am

Eva

GOT IT! Took me a minute but yes, what a great clue!

3:52 am

Dianne

Hi All - I need some help with the Rs. I am looking for the Re6/26 that comes right after the re6/21 that means re plus finished word. Any help on this?

4:05 am

tiger

Dianne It's S4/7 with re in front

4:07 am

Dianne

tiger - I've got that one - the one I need is the 7th on the list of re words. Thanks anyway :)

4:13 am

Grandma Barb

re6/24 think of the tv advertisement with the man in the monotone voice telling viewers to get the re****. He's holding a large eye.

4:16 am

Dianne

Grandma - I haven't lived in the states in many years
so I have no idea what your wonderful clue means :(

4:16 am

FMitch

Dianne I've just found the one you are looking for

4:16 am

Grandma Barb

Why would someone put eye drops in his/her eyes?

4:17 am

FMitch

same 1st 3 letters and then the opposite of in.

4:18 am

Dianne

Grandma and FMitch - actually now I do remember seeing that commercial - but the 2nd clues did the trick. Thanks so much.

4:19 am

Grandma Barb

your welcone. now i'm off to bed.

4:21 am

Grandma Barb

Meant to say you're welcome. I really do need to get to bed.

4:25 am

Dianne

FMitch - do you have the re4 that comes right after that re6/24 that you gave me the clue for?

4:27 am

FMitch

I think so, re4/5 plural colour.

4:28 am

Dianne

FMitch - thanks - I thought I already entered that. DUH

4:29 am

FMitch

Have you done any of the e's yet I am missing one - the er6/18.

4:31 am

Haz1558

er word means 'wandering'

4:31 am

dalmatian5

FMitch Er 6/18 wandering in search of adventure or on missions of chivalry

4:33 am

FMitch

oooo thankyou for that, will go and hunt it out.

4:34 am

Haz1558

Usually used to indicate wandering from normal limits or standards.

4:42 am

FMitch

phew, that took a while and it was staring me in the face all along. Thanks and bye for now.

4:44 am

amandacath

Dam*! 10 Q words? I got 5 right off the bat and thought that was it!

4:44 am

lshult

stuck on h6/21 & h8/50
any clues, please?

4:50 am

gnubee

h6, think ghosties

4:53 am

Haz1558

ha 6/21 - looks like an old English word

4:53 am

mu

WOW!!!! just logged in what a whopper for a thurs definitely a Nono today, got a visit to the dentist this PM Ah well Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:53 am

Haz1558

It's a plural and resembles furry creatures...

4:55 am

Haz1558

The ha 8 has the same four letters to begin the word, then extend it. Sounds like the furry creature is literate.

5:00 am

Dianne

Anyone have a hint on the Fe8/55? I am having a terrible time with the "F words" :)

5:02 am

jenwould

haz, I'm illiterate on the literate clue...could you spell it out for me again...thanks

5:02 am

jenwould

dianne, I'm still looking for that also..

5:03 am

Poo's Mom

Good Morning!

5:06 am

Haz1558

The furry creature is the ha 4/5 . Alter the order of the vowels to get the first part of the word. For the ha 6, add es on the end. For the ha 8, the second part of the word sounds like what you learn to do with a book. Sorry, I'm not being particularly clear!

5:07 am

Haz1558

Fe 8/55. First three letters sound like fair. Then add personal pronoun and ti4/4.

5:08 am

jenwould

haz~ thanks and wow that looks Greek to me!

Haz1558

I just hope you can make sense of it! Sorry, it's sometimes difficult to get across but hopefully it will send you in the right direction.

5:11 am

jenwould

wow Haz, thanks...how far along are you?

5:12 am

Haz1558

I'm at 103 words - haven't downloaded the stats yet so am noodling as much as possible.

5:13 am

jenwould

5:14 am

doxy1lover

haz, thanks for that h6 clue, finally got it

5:16 am

Dianne

Haz and Jen - I must be in a real fog plus totally dense.
I can get that fe8 for the life of me.

5:19 am

jenwould

dianne, all of Haz's clues:
rhymes with parities
first 3-furry animal pop. in US as pet
- personal pronoun
last 4 she ---- her shoelaces to keep from falling

5:20 am

Haz1558

Fe - From the f, go left for one letter, then diagonnally up for the second letter, then diagonally downwards for the third. Personal pronoun (I) then ti4/5 - men's neckwear plural.

5:22 am

Haz1558

Jen - are you an early riser or a late to bedder?

5:23 am

jenwould

I'm an idiot that thought the NOC shift with my job would be a nice change of pace. I work 11:30p- 8am and am ever grateful that babble exists!

5:25 am

jenwould

dianne~ any closer? fe8/55 also rhymes with ra8/40

5:25 am

Dianne

Haz - if I am ever lost I want you just a call away!
Thanks you so much for hand holding me.

5:25 am

Haz1558

Well, that explains things! My family can't understand the attraction of staring at a computer screen and typing furiously, but I'm addicted!

5:26 am

Haz1558

Dianne, you're welcome. I think everyone needs a helping hand now and then and I know I appreciate all the help from fellow babblers when you just can't see the word.

5:27 am

jenwould

haz~ you're ahead of us here in US (in time, as well as other things :-) ) right? Is it Thursday close to noon there then?

5:29 am

Haz1558

Jen, it's 11.30 am here, and I'm putting in the time before a dental appointment at noon. It's just a scale and polish along with discussion about the merits of a veneer versus a crown. Whatever's least painful...

5:31 am

jenwould

whoa! sounds like a pretty penny; either choice. Been there, done that, am planning surgery my self, removing 2 teeth, and getting implants. faster than braces... teeth are so expensive and yet so very important.

5:31 am

jenwould

oops, forgot....hey poo's mom- cute monkey

5:32 am

Poo's Mom

LOL thanks Jen - my tribute to monkey typing

5:32 am

Haz1558

We're fortunate over here in that dentistry is subsidised to a certain extent but I will still have to pay some of the cost.

5:37 am

Poo's Mom

doh! finally got the ha8.... thanks!

5:37 am

jenwould

does anyone have the 2 ou's ou7/32 and ou9/66? driving me nuts

5:41 am

Kallia

5:41 am

Haz1558

Jen - the 7 just means to have a bigger salary than someone else.

5:42 am

Haz1558

And past tense for the 9

5:43 am

jenwould

got it haz...thanks much... have a great time at the dentist and good luck!

Anytime Kallia....I'm tbear007....silly but someone had already pinched my name

6:45 am

mu

Hello tbear, Miya et al ,I seem to have been a minority brit up to now so nice to see you all (not that I don't like to see our American pals of course) tbear my son had a look at that site last night and is a bit nervy about it, he has loads of security on his comp but would rather I didn't use the site for now If we get any feed back from other users I may be able to persuade him it's safe so let's see what others have to say shall we. this is a biggy for a thurs Eh? and I go to the dentist later so not optimistic about completing this one

6:47 am

mu

Miyavi. my punctuation seemsto be all shot these days. Want to give me some lessons? lol

6:48 am

Kallia

mu I have been using that Scrabble site for almost 2 years with no problems at all. As long as you have virus and firewall I really think it will be fine.

6:48 am

tbear

Know what you mean Mu.....fingers crossed and good luck at the dentist

6:48 am

mu

Thanks Kalia I'll let my son see your remarks

6:49 am

tbear

Infact....I'm off for a game now...

6:49 am

Kallia

stirred but not shaken eh Tbear?

6:50 am

Kallia

enjoy Tbear
good idea Mu see if you can persuade him , its good fun

6:52 am

Why me?! I accidentally wrote "mine head is happy" the other day in an email

6:55 am

mu

I'll put the pressure on him tonight Kalia. I haven't had a good game of scrabble in ages. Son is doing an OU course for a degree in computing and has so much security on this comp it's a wonder I can get in. It's understandable though I suppose in this day and age.

6:56 am

gnubee

thanks, jen, I thought I already had it

6:58 am

mu

OK Miyavi you're sacked already(lol) nice to know it's not an age related thing.

6:58 am

Kallia

yes Mu it is understandable, anyone who isn't protected is very silly, but saying that it is possible to take it too far the other way. :)

Morning all. You know you've been babbling too long when the puzzle looks familiar. Have we done this one before? I'm scared...

Big mistake joel, I'm now covered in dove poo ...

7:51 am

lola100

lol! Hi joel :)

7:52 am

Jera

Sorry, had a potty emergency (not my own)... en11 = bad buggies that make salmonella (at least one type)... I was reading about this the other day researching flood problems & aftermath issues... wowzers

7:52 am

Atalante

7:52 am

Jera

You also get a related 9... infection ending...

7:53 am

lola100

Thanks sweetie, will go check it out :)

7:54 am

joelgee

Was anyone watching TV the night of the false millenium change. Some dufus thought it would be a good idea to let loose boxes of doves at midnight.
Only one problem. Doves are diurnal. They opened the boxes and the doves just sat there going, "What? We're sleeping! Go away!"
There were people literally throwing the doves into the sky. A great television moment.

7:55 am

Uneaixoise

joelgee, i've heard of the same thing happening at weddings! :-)

7:55 am

Chessy

LOL joel ...

7:56 am

Jera

Joelgee... you said false millenium change?? Marry me. I can't tell you how many fights I've had with people about counting to 10...

7:56 am

lola100

Thanks jera! Got the nine but can't figure out how to get the 11. Any hints on that ending??

7:57 am

Jera

End with Caesar's bad day in March (plural)

7:57 am

lola100

Oh lola loves a wedding! Can I be your maid of honour jera, I have a great outfit!

Congrats to the hapy couple! =o) Where will the wedding be?

7:58 am

gramma

HELLO...hello?....hello? all that dove sh*t flying around and I'm ignored. Well, that's just fine. Don't come to me then, when you all want help with the 50 letter word I found.

7:58 am

joelgee

jera--
okay, but not on the first date and NO doves.

7:59 am

Jera

Sorry... I'm scaring people today...

7:59 am

joelgee

8:00 am

ToeSockMonkey

8:03 am

lola100

Jera- sorry, had to take small person to the loo. Thanks, got the 11 :)
And shall I start getting the champers in for the party?

Hi dachef, hi jere, its 2.14pm here, what time is it where you are?

8:11 am

Dachef

8:12 am

Jera

Must be nice for new Babble puzzle to come up at a decent hour...

8:12 am

Bubbles

sorry jera spelt your name wrong, was typing too fast

8:12 am

Atalante

argh I've lost my sketchbook. I put it somewhere *safe* to keep it away from the kitten ...

8:13 am

Jera

Just a bit after 9 in Virginia (USA)... Babble board comes up (new) at 1 am here... not a good time to start something... unless you are on a high from just finishing the old one...

8:13 am

lola100

joel- your five letters in the middle? Take another slang word for boob and put the tv medical drama in the middle :)

8:16 am

gramma

omg... I went to move my laptop and I got a hell of a shock and the whole thing just shut down. I could be the first person to die from babbling. It's not really the record I want to hold. What's up w/that?

8:18 am

Jera

Are you okay, gramma??

8:18 am

lola100

Goodness gramma! Are you okay??

8:19 am

gramma

Jera, I'm totally fine; but, wierded out.

8:19 am

Jera

I can see the urban legend now... killer game shocks unsuspecting players...

8:20 am

gramma

Jera, you could write for the onion.

8:20 am

Jera

Is your laptop still working or did you move to another computer?

8:20 am

Atalante

phew! glad you're ok!

8:21 am

joelgee

decided to google and actually do the research. got it.

8:21 am

gramma

It appears to be fine. I had to turn it back on and all...but everything seems fine. Never had that happen be4

8:22 am

joelgee

you'll notice that after Jera proposed, she dropped the whole thing. Sigh. Left at the alter again.

8:22 am

Jera

Joelgee, the 11 you mean?

8:22 am

Ouwachita

I got the 11 and the 9...woohoo

8:22 am

gramma

joelgee, the alter??or altar?

8:22 am

joelgee

yes. seven come 11!!

8:23 am

joelgee

okay. altar. was befogged by finding the en11

8:23 am

Uneaixoise

gramma, if you're an onion fan, you'll love today's headline: Bush Orders Mass Bald Eagle Slaughter To Stop Spread Of Bird Flu

8:24 am

Jera

I thought I was scaring people... I do that sometimes, LOL!

8:24 am

lola100

gramma- anyone who has been married will tell you that it really should be the alter.....

8:24 am

joelgee

so triumphant about the 11, forgot about the other two gazillion words.

8:24 am

gramma

The onion and the Darwin awards keep me in stitches

8:24 am

Jera

As long as you don't alter my altar... ;>

8:25 am

lola100

jera, do we look like an easily scared bunch of people to you?!

8:26 am

Jera

I think I'm still in shock about finding that humungous word... wait till my husband finds out I proposed to a fellow Babbler... he might be a bit concerned...

8:26 am

joelgee

jera--
must say, a smiley penguin on a skateboard; not so scary.

8:26 am

snowyowl

Hi all just a quick bavvle before the littlies get home from school in 50 mins. Did I see wedding plans again?
This is a very loved up site! I do make sugar almond favours so if you need anything just shout!
Lola missed you last night - no babble?

8:27 am

Jera

Snowy you are off to a bad start if you came here to bavvle...

8:27 am

snowyowl

OMG the spelling bug is still around!!!

8:28 am

joelgee

And she's already married. Sigh. Next time I'm getting it in writing. Wait a sec. I have in e-writing.

8:28 am

snowyowl

I don't know Jera - if I could find out what it is I could make a fortune!

8:28 am

Chessy

must go and put vultures/doves etc. back in cages. See you guys later ...:)

8:29 am

lola100

Hi snowy!
Yup, went cold turkey yesterday and skipped babble for the first time since I started playing in August :/
Missed everyone terribly :(
Favours sound great but it sounds like the bride-to-be may be getting cold feet....

8:29 am

joelgee

Just don't accessorize with the albatrosses.

8:29 am

snowyowl

Joelgee - never heard of polygamy? We're a tolerant lot here you know

8:29 am

Jera

Is this better??

8:29 am

Dachef

chessy, you might be missing one, but it really wasnt my fault. The oven door was open, and, well, er.....

8:30 am

joelgee

polygamy? Is that where two parrots get married?

8:31 am

Jen

joelgee, that made me literally laugh out loud!

I can do mouse on a stick for a starter if you like!

8:36 am

lola100

Do you use ordinary giraffe or randy giraffe for that, dachef?

8:36 am

joelgee

'scuse. Which wine would you serve with that, dachef? Is the sorbet for cleansing the palate between courses?

8:37 am

Jera

I could brew up some eye of newt & toe of frog...

8:37 am

joelgee

For appetizer, perhaps mini-mouse on a stick.

hurshy Just got that one myself a sea bird in the middle of two e's

10:23 am

hurshy

oh dear, baggo - i was thinking that and tried it ending with other vowels - guess i thought i had tried that one but hadn't!! argh.

10:23 am

Jacula

et6/18 - archaic way of saying 'for ever' or 'endlessly'.

10:24 am

Jacula

qu5/16 (the 1st one) - a bit like that mushroom mixture used in veggie 'meats' but with a different 2nd letter.

10:26 am

Jacula

* sorry. Diff. 3rd letter! Real definition is 'a primitive hand-turned grain mill'.

10:28 am

thanks so much jacula!!!

thanks, et helpers

10:32 am

Got the flirt now, thanks, Hurshy. I wouldn't have spelled it that way!

10:32 am

hurshy

neither would i, jacula! :)

10:33 am

co 6/24 (it's the END that's like jacques...)

10:34 am

Deutsch

* the stealth babbler zooms in and takes all of hurshy's clues and zooms out*

10:34 am

Jacula

fe8/55 - rhymes with ra8/40. No definition as such but sounds like some long,thin animals related to stoats/polecats.

10:35 am

hurshy

i do as many as i can myself, then get the babbanon list and go abc. since i'm on the f's, i can help with all the ones before that...

10:36 am

Jacula

Got the word like the French chap, thanks. I must have written it in the wrong place on my list. I seems to be the last (4th) co6/24 I'm missing.:-(

10:36 am

hurshy

well THAT one is the french word for listen, with the first letter cut off.

10:37 am

ToeSockMonkey

I GOT IT! Thank you soooo much! ou 9/66 is complete!

10:37 am

hurshy

as you may have figured by now, i haven't got ra8.

10:38 am

Miyavi_fan

hahaha...does anyone speak Engrish? I need to know what "I believe what you say Sundays, I'll be with wow" means!

10:38 am

hurshy

but if you could tell me, say, the 5th letter of ra8, then i might be golden.

10:39 am

hurshy

miyavi - it doesn't really mean anything...

10:40 am

Miyavi_fan

hahaha..."her face was shiny wiz happy, I'll be with wow"...

Hi again you guys :) Sorry got dragged away by the kids. Hope you`re all ok, i`m not brilliant today, I feel like i`ve taken a step back. Must go to Doc`s in the morning for more tablets.

10:40 am

Miyavi_fan

I think it's just really bad English, Hurshy. A Japanese band singing in english...it really shouldn't be this amusing.

10:40 am

kristin

hurshy if you have the fe8 just replace the first two letters for the ra8

10:40 am

Jacula

ra8 - things you don't see many of. An extension of an ra4/4 meaning similar.

I'm off to do dinner now. Thanks for your help.

11:59 am

malicious_turnip

can anybody plz give me some clues for 5 or more letters????

12:00 pm

Deutsch

turnip, scroll through the chat and look for clues. Jump down and show all messages

12:04 pm

Deutsch

look for this one, turnip
ra8/40 - things which are not found very often.

12:06 pm

malicious_turnip

thanks, though im not very good at this, im on here because its my english homework

12:06 pm

Renny

anyone with a hint for se7/40?

12:06 pm

ScoutsMom

turnip, that's not the first time i've heard that. this is really homework? man, i wish i were in school.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Se 7/40 - Following in order of time. Usually preceded by sub.

12:08 pm

hurshy

se 7/40 seems like it has italian roots. and sort of sounds like a pepperidge farm cookie (loosely)

12:08 pm

lottijw

Turnip is your tutor Miss Linton by any chance?

12:08 pm

hurshy

haz, you're so technical!

12:08 pm

Schroeder

We never had homework like this when I was in school....(I guess we didn't have computers either). Did I just say that out loud!!!!

12:08 pm

hurshy

not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

12:09 pm

stillcrazy

wow Haz...ty got it from that clue!!!!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hurshy - is that a compliment or a complaint?!

12:09 pm

Renny

haz...thank you so much!!

12:09 pm

mtnjock

hey there scouts Mom, you find my keys last night?

12:09 pm

ScoutsMom

We had computers, but they were TRS-80s from Radio Shack and you could only work in BASIC.
Okay, that's the geekiest thing I've ever said in my life, I think.

12:09 pm

hurshy

neither. really. just an affectionate observation.

12:09 pm

GreyWoulf

stillcrazy, you still here!!

I'm just popping in to print out the board so I can work on it at work today
I'm finally getting smart so I don't have too mad a dash to finish later

12:10 pm

ScoutsMom

Crazy mtn...told you this morning I haven't looked. Went to goth night at full moon last nite...felt like a throwback.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

When I was at school, the most technical equipment available was a slide rule for maths, and it was only the clever people who got to use them....

12:10 pm

stillcrazy

LOL hey there Grey Woulf! I did sleep in between but am back to try to finish this off.

12:10 pm

hurshy

i'm a dope, anyway. my hint was for 7/28, not 7/40.

12:11 pm

Deutsch

Ok everyone. Raise your hand if your learned on a manual typewriter and know how to use a slide rule. (I took physics with a slide rule LOL)

12:12 pm

ScoutsMom

*raises hand* I'm a woman of many talents.

12:12 pm

hurshy

so, haz, now that my mistake has been outed - you see what happened. i was surprised that anyone would know - or expect someone else to know - the definition of 7/28 - a much weirder word than 7/40.

12:12 pm

mtnjock

I got extra credit in physical chemistry to learn how to use a slide rule! I taught my typing teacher how to use the word processors (not computers) we had in high school

12:12 pm

Deutsch

You're not a dope, hurshy. I've done it.
BTW, got a clue for the si 5 12?

12:12 pm

malicious_turnip

i have bin on this for about half an hour and i have 10 words
:'( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:13 pm

Atalante

what the heck is a pepperidge farm cookie???

12:13 pm

stillcrazy

I learned on a manual typewriter but thought a slide rule was only used in baseball

12:13 pm

Schroeder

You mean they don't use the abacus anymore?

12:13 pm

malicious_turnip

lmao

12:13 pm

ScoutsMom

Sorry--pepperidge farm is a brand of food.

12:13 pm

Haz1558

I'll have to go and look for that se 7/28....

12:13 pm

hurshy

deutsch - just past tense of the prev word. :)

12:13 pm

GreyWoulf

I didn't use a slide rule, tho my dad showed me how
But I did type my papers on a manual nonelectric typewriter

12:13 pm

ScoutsMom

*jumps up and down, hand raised* I also know how to use an abacus! for no good reason.

12:14 pm

lottijw

LOL Schroeder

12:14 pm

stillcrazy

I'm still using my fingers Schroeder!

12:15 pm

mtnjock

abacus is quicker than paper, but the slide rule rocks!

12:15 pm

Deutsch

Hurshy, THANKS! I had to blind type it as I still can't see it on the grid! lol

12:15 pm

hurshy

silly deutsch. go down left after the middle and you'll see it.

12:16 pm

Renny

se7/28 clue....has me completely stumped. i don't think i'm up to speed on my cookies! :(

12:17 pm

hurshy

well, se7/28 also sounds (again loosely) kind of like a man-eating fish.

12:17 pm

ScoutsMom

mtn! I have a new website for you to see...it's about recipes for engineers. remind me later and i'll email it to you.

12:18 pm

Deutsch

You mean I can go that way? I seem to get stuck going in one direction. Next time, I'll take your hand. LOL

12:20 pm

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

Haz1558

12:23 pm

Deutsch

te 6 21 past tense of te 4 4

12:24 pm

hurshy

sorry, i meant the OTHER te 6/21.

12:26 pm

Niamh

hurshy, it's a shipworm, but it kinda looks like swirling wind

12:26 pm

Atalante

recipes for engineers??!! you mean - stuff even my husband could cook?

12:27 pm

hurshy

THANKS, niamh. shipworm, eh? weird. i got it, though.

12:27 pm

xXxLollyxXx

MISS LINTON= grrrrrrr ! i now have to find 20words with 5 letters! It took me ages with just 4

12:28 pm

malicious_turnip

i know! i have found 10. i cant find anymore!!! well i got the tv on and its kinda distracting me

12:28 pm

Niamh

I've learned from babble that the english language is weirder than I thought!! before today, I didn't know there was such thing as a shipworm ;~)

12:29 pm

ScoutsMom

atalante: it's cookingforengineers.com

12:29 pm

malicious_turnip

whats ra something thats hardly ever found?

12:29 pm

Niamh

hey people from MISS LINTON's class, try plural forms and past tense of what you already have!

12:30 pm

ScoutsMom

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Ms. Linton's pretty cool.

12:30 pm

kristin

turnip if its not common then it is ra**, expand on that

12:30 pm

There's an ELEVEN today?!?!??! wow

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

lottijw

I like Miss Linton she`s cool....."and probably watching over you"!!!
Have you tried the Qu`s girls there are some fairly obvious ones there!

12:31 pm

ScoutsMom

you'll like the site...but don't go there until you've finished your babble and eaten your vegetables, young lady. I like the flowchart recipes.

12:32 pm

malicious_turnip

i got quoted. tho u lot never say the words, i hope im not breaking any rules???

12:32 pm

ScoutsMom

turnip, please don't type words in the chat.

12:33 pm

malicious_turnip

isnt that what everyone else is doing?

12:33 pm

efor1124

that stupid "qu" is driving me nuts!! why do they have to put a "q" in here??

12:34 pm

Niamh

everyone tries to give clues, sometimes obvious ones, but we don't put the words in...

12:34 pm

jessmom

turnip
don't forget the plural of that word,
also, your qu5 is to find 20 5 letter + words today

12:34 pm

ScoutsMom

turnip, if you put the answers in the chat, it's no fun for us to find them. the word you just used...you should just say qu6/30.

12:35 pm

malicious_turnip

im sorry. i dont really understand the number thingys. i mean miss told us what they mean, but they never help me

12:36 pm

Atalante

I love that site! I always write recipes down like chemical formulae anyway!

12:36 pm

Niamh

I use the point values when I'm stuck trying to find a word, using the numbers is very revealing!

12:36 pm

hurshy

turnip, the number things tell you first how many letters, and then how many points the word is worth. the points help us tell the difference between some words of the same length.

12:36 pm

jessmom

turnip, don't worry about the points part, you found a 6 letter word starting with q, just tell us qu6 or q6

12:37 pm

lottijw

Turnip that qu word can end in 3 different letters. Try changing your last letter for adifferent one.

12:37 pm

malicious_turnip

ok. thanks

12:37 pm

xXxLollyxXx

turnip who r u? i have 1 5 letter 1 :( 19 more to go...

Hi TSM!

well turnip, i don't think it'd be good to open up religious debate, better to stick with safe topics.

12:49 pm

1:15 pm

For the homework crowd. There are a number of five and six letter words beginning with at. Find the word beginning with TO that is to do with sound. Put A in front of it, then add s, remove s and add d, remove d and add r.

1:42 pm

Mumbles? What is the origin of that name, snowy, Cathb?

3:43 pm

bbnaz

it was a lovely time and I enjoyed Wales. Although I am as native American as you can get (over 13 generations), the nearest immigrant relative came from Wales in the 1870s

3:44 pm

any clues on the qu words?

3:45 pm

bbnaz

if i told you then you would have to "say what i say" on it

3:45 pm

dylan,
qu 7 40 one who asks

3:46 pm

CATHB

Deutsch - I am not sure of the origin of the word Mumbles

3:46 pm

Hi All, BBNAZ are you in the Old Pueblo?

3:47 pm

Deutsch

Still, it's an interesting name

3:47 pm

bbnaz

nope, but went to university there and occasionally return to ride show jumpers at the fairgrounds......i live in the over populated valley of the sun

3:48 pm

bbnaz

deutsch i can't make that work.........

3:48 pm

snowyowl

Deutsch I think its to do with the name of some rocks???? Part of Mumbles is known as Oystermouth as there were oyster beds there.
Darleen -have checked out wingboy - how come Hilary and Camilla get to sit on top of him. Typical really tho - thinking about it!!LOL

bbnaz

nope mine says 5GEN AZ so that the rest of the family feels included

3:51 pm

bbnaz

i have six of those rascally qu words.........

3:51 pm

CATHB

found this deutsch - the name, Mumbles, deriving from the French word mamelles, meaning 'breasts' and originally referring only to the two islets at the end of the promontory, but nowadays applying to the whole village. Really, the name should have a permanent exclamation mark – Mumbles!, like Westward Ho! As indeed should the Welsh word, Mwmbwl!

3:52 pm

Deutsch

BB, the qu7 sort of rhymes with a j word that means one who knows the law well, like a judge

3:52 pm

bbnaz

i thought it had something to do with mammaries

3:53 pm

Deutsch

Wow, Cathb, thank you!

3:53 pm

3:55 pm

bbnaz

in a very small church on a skinny street on the side of a hill. There was a lovely Welsh ladies ensemble too and they were terrific! The best was the slightly pissed old man who told us that Americans didn't sing, they "screeched" whereas the Welsh were angelic! We agreed with him as nobody had ever thrown knickers at us whilst singing.............

3:55 pm

4:02 pm

I only have one co 5/16 so far. It goes with the 1st co 4/6. Add a consonant that you normally wouldn't put on the end to the end of the word. I didn't even know it was a word and there's no real definition.

4:04 pm

snowyowl

Cath it must have been All Saints if it was an Anglican church as all the others are chapels. If so bbnaz it's our old church, parts of it are 12th century

4:06 pm

bbnaz

very tiny with a balcony at the rear of the church....it was rather old but then coming from America most things you have are.................and ours (other than indian stuff) are not............

chessy - if, like me, you hate spicy food and know nothing about chili peppers, you can try one of my clues.
se 7/28 - looks italian, sounds a little like a pepperidge farm cookie. sounds a little like a man eating fish. alternatively, begin the word for a knife blade that isn't straight, and end it with the opposite of yes.

6:49 pm

ohromujici

GG: Be proud of your polish heritage, my friend. I am usually the only one with sauerkraut at work. OK, I am always the only one with sauerkraut at work. : ) Kiebasa is good though. I could live off of perogi too.

groovygranny

6:59 pm

evanonut

ayup groov, don't want to leave any floaters ;-)

7:00 pm

hurshy

do people still need co 6/24 clues? there are 4 of them, so... two are reasonable words, two are weird. the reasonable ones come first, then there's the french word for listen minus the first letter. last, a word that sounds like jacques _________ , (it's the end that sounds like his name).

7:00 pm

groovygranny

Lian I read what you said about your diabetes ... my hubby has been a diabetic since 92' and in 2002 he was put on Insulin after he had a heart attack at 41

7:01 pm

groovygranny

Evan you are soo sweet ! I have faith that things will be fine for you and hubby !! good things happen to good people !

7:01 pm

hurshy

oops, said them in the wrong order. jacques is before listen. alternative clue for the last one if you don't know french: alter your first cu5/14

7:02 pm

evanonut

aw groovy, you're so darned likable! he'll be fine, just gotta get throught the treatment which is always worse than the disease.

8:11 pm

Jacula

8:15 pm

dalmatian5

I am looking for the last Re 6/21 and Re 6/27. Also an Si 5/10 (I have the seductive woman). Any hints would be appreciated.

8:16 pm

Jacula

Oh, this isn't so bad. I was expecting clues wanted to rain down on my head from all directiions. I'll have a sip of wine and relax then...

8:16 pm

ruffh2o

I am soooo far behind. I only found 124 during jury duty. :P

8:17 pm

mamabear

Jacula - I only have 91 words - don't even know where to begin to ask.... enjoy your wine!!!

8:18 pm

Jacula

re6/21 - to dwell in a place.
re6/27 - what you might have to do with your flour if it was still lumpy the first time it went through the sieve.

8:18 pm

Veruca

dalmation5 - add an s to re 5/16 for re 6/27

8:20 pm

Jacula

Mamabear, I will enjoy my wine. But post some questions if you want to. As Chris Tarrant on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' over here says, 'It's only easy if you know the answers!' I do know the answers. Lucky me, this time!

8:21 pm

cybernan

so.. I'm still looking for the co 6/24 - 2nd to last one that follows the french coast!

8:23 pm

ruffh2o

what kind of wine, jac?

8:23 pm

groovygranny

back finally !! how are we all doing ??

8:23 pm

mamabear

hi gg!!! didn't even break 100 yet!! uuuuugggggghhhhh

8:26 pm

Jacula

Hello Ruff. Chardonnay, or any dry white wine is my preferred tipple, but, in the absence of that, I'm nicking my other half's Cabernet Sauvignon (red).

8:27 pm

ruffh2o

sounds good. I'm waiting for hubby to get home, so we can crack open a bottle. DOn't know what just yet.

8:28 pm

Jacula

co6/24 - type the word before it, then think of the French word for 'water' and take off the first letter. Voila!

8:31 pm

cybernan

Many heartfelt thanks Jacula - I've been trying to figure that one out since lunch!

8:32 pm

Jacula

If you can't get it from the clue I gave, then think of Jacques Co******, who filmed underwater, then remove the 's'.

8:32 pm

Jacula

Glad you got that, Cybernan.

8:35 pm

dalmatian5

Thanks for the help. I may ask for another clue or two when I figure out exactly what I am still missing. Your help is much appreciated.

8:39 pm

circe

Did I maybe miss it, or does someone have a clue for the
co 6/30 and the co 6/24 just after it???

8:41 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi everyone!
Just got home from work and decided join my fellow Babble addicts in order to redeem an otherwise wasted day.
Gorgeous days like this are absolutely wasted when one has to work in retail

8:42 pm

Jacula

co6/30 - a flirt (

8:42 pm

ruffh2o

hey grey

8:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi ruff --
so how was your day?

8:43 pm

Jacula

hOW WEIRD! I was just in the middle of tping my message when Graywoulf posted and it posted mine before | was ready to post it!

8:43 pm

ruffh2o

snore...two days in jury duty and we haven't even chosen a foreman

8:44 pm

groovygranny

Hey Grey Jac Mama Kristin Aknitter drkn !

8:44 pm

groovygranny

Hey Ruff !

8:44 pm

mamabear

Hi GW!!!! It is a waste when you have to work in an office, too. But at least there are lots of windows!!!

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh dear, it sounds like you are not having any fun at all, ruff

8:45 pm

Jacula

Hi Graywoulf!

But, as I was typing. co6/30 - flirt (but not how you may expect to see it spelt or spelled). Think of the game The Queen of Hearts was playing in Alice in Wonderland and take out the 'r'.

8:45 pm

mamabear

Hi Ruff - bummer about the jury .. gonna be a long haul hi granny!!

8:45 pm

groovygranny

Hey Mama how are you ??

GreyWoulf

Hey there, Jacula
Thanks for the clue too :)

8:47 pm

groovygranny

Hey Grey ! nice to see you ... what exactly do you do in retail? I too did that for years !

8:47 pm

Jacula

8:47 pm

mamabear

Hi groovy g - had a day that was not worth getting up for.... and not going to finish this puzzle.... and I'm out of rum....

8:48 pm

ruffh2o

I know I'm not going to finish this one.

In the mall you can peoplewatch.

8:48 pm

hurshy

co 6/24 after co 6/30 is similar to jacues ________
in its ending.

8:48 pm

GreyWoulf

About the only good thing about work today was that I brought the grid with me and was able to find about 75 words, thus simplifying the evening

8:48 pm

mamabear

Jacula - great clue with the Queen of Hearts.. didn't get it with the "flirt" clue.

8:48 pm

groovygranny

Hey GG: The walk was splendid. New York is beautiful in the fall. I had to get out of here. The TV is constantly playing commercials for the upcoming mayor election. I don't care who wins. I just want the commercials to stop.

8:57 pm

Jacula

Not prowling, Robert, just clueing! Have you got what you need now?

8:59 pm

robert240

can u help me jac?

8:59 pm

Jacula

Mamabear tripped over dog. Oh, hw I long for the old days when once did that. Still miss my old dog. Bet Mamabear didn't have to pull hair-blocked 'we won't say WHAT' from one cat's bottom and dispose of whole and perfect but dead vole that was other cat's offering? This is why I much prefer dogs to cats!

9:00 pm

groovygranny

I used to love NY in the fall too Ohrom ... in Fl you only figure it out in the spring when it just gets hotter and notter lol

9:00 pm

mamabear

Ruff - I have 2 dogs - the one I "tripped over" is a Yellow Lab/Bull Mastiff combo - about 110 lbs. The other is a Black Lab/Doberman mix - about 60 lbs..

9:01 pm

Jacula

2nd 6/21, Robert. Definition is 'a ship worm of the genus te****'. How can I spell it out to you? I'll have a think...

9:02 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom - re: the commercials, that's exactly how I feel here in PA

9:02 pm

mamabear

ohro - poets in the chat room? I wrote a poem about dreams. I wonder if there's someplace in Babbleonia I could post it.....

9:03 pm

groovygranny

Mama , snowy said she's going to post her carrot soup and I told her I'd put my baked potatoe soup up

9:03 pm

ohromujici

Granny: In new york, you can tell it is spring when the hookers stop wearing snow boots and change back into stilettos. lol

9:03 pm

robert240

we already had an inch of snow in boston

9:03 pm

ruffh2o

we had a dobie/alsation mix once, best dog ever
now we have a min poodle & a pem welsh corgi

9:03 pm

ruffh2o

funny, ohro

9:03 pm

groovygranny

rofl you're not supposed to tell them when I put my heels back on hehe blows my cover ... wait that didn't sound right !!!

9:03 pm

ohromujici

That would be cool Mammabear. I would love to read it.

9:04 pm

mamabear

My yellow lab mix is "Rocky" and my black lab mix is "Bo"

9:04 pm

Jacula

My dog was a Jack Russell x Sheltie.

9:04 pm

groovygranny

9:05 pm

ruffh2o

poodle - lambic
corgi - pimms

9:05 pm

mamabear

ohrm - where could I post it?

9:05 pm

ohromujici

Grey: are you guys getting bombarded with ads too? It is getting rediculous in NY. I would skip voting for bloomberg and ferrero if there was someone running who didn't have any commercials. That person would get my vote.

9:05 pm

robert240

i always like the first few snows, and then. . . . it gets tired

9:06 pm

mamabear

groovy - you've been in the snow since '99?????? OMG you better go in the house - you're gonna catch your death!!!! LOL

9:06 pm

ohromujici

Mamma: put it on babbler's anon. I think we all spend time there anyway.

9:06 pm

groovygranny

Robert I don't miss the snow at all ..... our rain is our snow I guess

9:06 pm

groovygranny

Ohrom , the recpie or me in the boots???

9:07 pm

ohromujici

Robert: Boston had snow? Crap. That means that NY is next. I am not mentally prepared for snow yet.

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

But ohrom, if they didn't bombard you with commercials then the vocal uneducated majority wouldn't know about them, thus preventing them from getting the necessary votes to win

9:08 pm

ohromujici

Granny: I just read what you read about the boots/heels. hahaaha : )

9:08 pm

mamabear

GW - you are very serious tonite.... here's another rum & cran for ya!!!!

9:08 pm

robert240

ohro, i think it was a fluke

9:09 pm

Jacula

EEK! What happened to my icon? It was supposed to be my old dog, not a distorted pic of me in fishnets!

9:09 pm

ohromujici

I like you, GW. I always enjoy our chats here. You have summed up my thoughts on the state of politics today.......

9:09 pm

groovygranny

hehe Ohrom it's just that im from florida so if I don't put my boots my ankles get cold lol

9:09 pm

mamabear

ohrm - I never posted in babanon. where would be a good place - in meet & greet or the interests log?

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry, MAMA, I don't mean to be
(*gladly accepts new drink and takes a big swallow*)
I'm still transcribing my list from work, so I'm little distracted as well

9:10 pm

ohromujici

Mamma: Maybe in interests. It seems to fit the description.

9:11 pm

mamabear

orhm - maybe I'll just put the poem in my bio - that would work!!! ya think?

9:12 pm

groovygranny

my new icon is my 8 month old grandson william

9:12 pm

Jacula

Ohmigod! Now it's posted my 'Jacq or Ozzie?' pic! LOL. What are you trying to do to me, Jamie??

9:13 pm

ohromujici

That sounds good, Mamma. That is where mine is and a lot of people have seen it.

9:13 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - i think on the board is better, you can start a new thread for others to build on

9:13 pm

JoJoFunLvg

erat: Are u there?

9:13 pm

ohromujici

Robert: Thank God. I am not ready for anything colder than 60 degrees yet.

Granny: you are cracking me up tonight.

9:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Ohrom -- I also forgot to mention that the ads we are getting hit with are for NJ, not PA at all!!!

9:14 pm

groovygranny

Ohrom I like ya !!! you think like me !! must be the polish in us huh??

9:15 pm

Jacula

Folks, I've put a few of my own published poems on the net. Would you believe that some sites, when you put 'copyright' (c in a circle) and your published name, then zap the stuff you've posted???

9:15 pm

groovygranny

I can't handle anything colder than 60 degrees I am a total cold whimp !! the other day when Wilma came thru I was outside and thought OMG it's chilly out .. went inside , checked the temp online and it was 66

9:15 pm

ohromujici

Grey: are you in philly or something? Why are you getting Jersey ads?

9:16 pm

groovygranny

Jac you've had that done to you ? that's unreal !

9:16 pm

mamabear

Jac - where can you put it on the net? I've had several people tell me I should publish my Dream poem, but don't know where to begin.

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom -I'm in Lansdale, about 45 min west of Philly

9:17 pm

ruffh2o

I'm going to need more alcohol to get through this grid. Mama? Rum?

9:17 pm

JoJoFunLvg

oops: arat are you there?

9:17 pm

Jacula

GG - not on a certain UK getting peeps back together site it isn't! They got the message in the end though! I've got my proofs of publications and ISBN no's etc.

9:18 pm

ohromujici

GW: is that in amish country? I took a drive through there once and I thought it was pretty.

9:19 pm

groovygranny

good for you Jac ! I'd love to read some of them sometime

9:19 pm

mamabear

OK. I'm going to go to babanon and put a message in there - I'm not going anywhere with this monster grid tonite anyway. Be back in a bit!!! Don't go away!!!

9:20 pm

mamabear

*mamabear pours Ruff a tall one on her way out....."

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom - No, the Amish are in Lancaster county another hour to hour and a half west of me
However the area here is actually quite nice to drive in as well

9:22 pm

ohromujici

GW: I am sure it is beautiful. PA is gorgeous. You have my condolences about getting Jersey political ads. Do you have the irresistable urge to drive over the border and vote for Corzine or Forrester? ahhaha

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

Wow, I used to think I had a good vocabulary befire I started playing this game! (lol) For all the searching at work I only increased my word count by 60 - so I'm at 188

9:22 pm

Jacula

Grey - just wanted to say sorry for calling you 'gray'' earlier.

9:22 pm

Charm

Evening, all. Need a bit of help with a pesky SE7/28. Clues? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Thanks. That 'q' kept tripping me up today!

9:23 pm

ruffh2o

thanks, mama

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac - I am not a stickler for spelling, I knew who you were talking to
I use alternate spellings to assure that I stand out as an alpha among all the other wolfs/wulfs out there ;)

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom - the hardest thing for me to get used to down here from living my entire life on LI or in Rockland county is the lack of population density -- around here the idea of a 24 hour diner is practically unheard of

9:32 pm

Charm

eek-eek. Y'all got the neurons firing. found it!

9:32 pm

ohromujici

GW: I just read your profile. That must have been quite a switch to go from LI to PA. It sounds like it was a good switch though. PA would be a great place to raise the fam. It is safe and less polluted and there is more access to nature. Sounds like a good choice. (although I would kill my self if I ever had to leave the city. lol) : )

9:35 pm

cybernan

I haven't been able to find the 2nd te6/21 either -- have you found it yet, Robert?

9:36 pm

9:36 pm

PowerPlant

te 6/21 ** + to do again

9:37 pm

ruffh2o

I could use more rum. What was that earlier, rum & cran? No champers tonight for me, I'm afraid.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

I was wondering where you were, ohrom :D
I doubt you'd kill yourself, but it does take getting used to
I mean, I have left my car in the parking lot of the apartment complex with the windows open and doors unlocked and noone cares!

9:38 pm

mamabear

And another rum & cran ... tall glass.... for ruff!!!!! OOPS... you might want to get some cold water and dab that out of your shirt or it will stain.... sorry!

9:39 pm

PowerPlant

Sorry I never post and I'm not sure what the rules are. I meant te + to do again

9:40 pm

Jacula

I know many of my poems on stored on comp., and many were 'lost' when word processor got blitzed by a house flood. Still trying to work out easiest way to get floppy discs from there onto comp. But I'll type out a poem for you as an example:

9:40 pm

ruffh2o

aaagh!! (running for the bleach pen)

9:41 pm

Jacula

I may be getting deaf,
but I'm not stupid.
I hear you
whispering about the mess I leave.
She can't help it.
Poor old devil can't control her bladder.
I'm not deceived
by your kind smile and mild manner.
You impress the neighbours
with your saintliness, cover
disgust and suppressed anger.
I don't see so well either,
but I'm not blind.
I notice the looks you exchange
with each other when I talk
about the old times.
She gets muddled, walks
about in the dead of night.
Aloud, you praise my long-term memory.
I may not be
as quick as I was,
but inside, I'm twenty;
the woman I've always been.
Just agree with her.
She hasn't got long to go.
I may be old,
I may be slow,
but I'm no fool,
and I'm not dead yet.
Forget that I am
an old woman.
Remember who held your hand
on the first day of school.

9:41 pm

mamabear

Jacula - when you have a minute, could you read mine and let me know what you think????

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

The worst thing about living in PA for me is that I no longer have the access to good roleplaying stores and people to game with that I used to
That's why I love this game so much!!!!!
*raises glass in salute, realizes that is is empty, so waves empty glass before getting a refill*

9:42 pm

cybernan

thank you PowerPlant - one more down and 13 to go!

9:43 pm

9:47 pm

ohromujici

We have some happenin' poets in this room.

Mamma: wow. You have quite a talent. Thanks for posting your poem. I loved it.
Jac: that was intense. I loved your poem for its reality.

*Ohro (a closet beatnik) starts standing ovation for Jac and Mamma.

9:48 pm

PowerPlant

cyber do you have the one to show excessive fondness?

9:48 pm

ruffh2o

I'd stand, but I have had too much rum

9:48 pm

groovygranny

groovygranny says Lincus Man !! and snaps

9:49 pm

mamabear

ruff - there is no such thing as too much rum

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Now I have to go digging through my files to find some of my stuff -- good thing I am off this week - it will take me a little while to find

9:50 pm

mamabear

Thanks for taking the time to read it, ohro!!!!!! The truth is it was easy to write because all of the dreams I described in the poem are dreams I've actually had. I look forward to going to sleep at night because of them!! Every night is an adventure.

9:50 pm

groovygranny

9:52 pm

mamabear

Hope you find them GW, would love to read them

9:52 pm

Jacula

I won several awards for that poem, but what makes me said is that fact that I wrote it before it had touched my life. Was a seeing things, or what? St one point, I even thought I'd somehow made it happen... Some years after I wrote that poem my father, not my mother, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease (or 'Old Timer's Disease, as my son, most charmingly, misheard it).But it was a very long, slow descent into unkowingness for him after that. Some part of me, that wrote that poem, the second of a series commissioned by 'Age Concern', still thinks I caused it.

9:53 pm

gwenski

Any help for the last te 6/18 and te 7/28?

9:53 pm

mamabear

Jac - you did not or could not cause it, but your inspiration in writing it is what helped get you through the experience.

9:53 pm

groovygranny

Grey for you anything !!! hey I wanted to ask ... if your internet goes out don't you get 10 words free?? JK !!

9:54 pm

groovygranny

sweet dreams and keep it groovy =)

Mamma. I liked "float naked atop the ocean's waves". I thought it was cool visual imagery.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Haven't read Mama's poem yet, but 'floating naked atoop the ocean's waves' sound great to me!

9:57 pm

mamabear

Yeah, that particular dream was not one I wanted to wake up from... was an awesome experience - even though only in my mind's eye.

9:59 pm

mamabear

gwenski - not ignoring you, I just don't have those two te's to clue for ya... sorry

9:59 pm

ruffh2o

yay! I've broken 200!

10:00 pm

mamabear

ruff I guess rum & babble is a good combo for you!!!

10:01 pm

gwenski

Thanks, mama. Well then, about one of the last two ar 6/18's? I've got one, past tense of ar 5/10.

10:01 pm

ohromujici

Jac: I used to work in a nursing home for people with alzheimer's when I was in highschool. There are so many things in your poem that struck a cord in me. I learned a lot about life when I used to take care of people with alzheimers. It is very interesting to watch the variance in how the families are able to deal with the change in their relative. Some are mad, some are depressed, some are in denial, some just ignore the whole situation and hope it will go away. I am optimistic that there will be a cure in our lifetimes though. They are making a lot of headway with figuring out what causes the disease. We have that to look foreward to at least. At any rate, thanks for posting your poem. I really liked it.

10:01 pm

ruffh2o

I think you might be right, mama. Damn, I just got an eyeful of re's.

10:02 pm

Charm

The final TE6 and TE7 (pl) - no proper def. Looks like a girl's name (actress Hatcher) + final consonant.

10:03 pm

GreyWoulf

gwen - ar6/18 - what a police officer does to a criminal (makes an ar****)

10:04 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks for the tip, Charm - I needed that one too!

10:04 pm

Charm

ar6/18 - pl. of ar5/10 meaning "A sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur."

10:04 pm

Fabulous! Thanks, all!

Hi Charm!!!

10:05 pm

Actually, I just noticed that I need clues for the first two 5r 5/16's

10:05 pm

sorry, all - that was a poodle on my keyboard

10:06 pm

cybernan

sorry about the typo - first two fr 5/16's

Hey, MamaBear. I apologize for not reading your Dream poem, but I've been done in by a 3yo and Edw. LEar's "Owl & Pussycat"!

10:06 pm

Charm

Fr5/16 - "A membranous fold of skin or mucous membrane that supports or restricts the movement of a part or organ, such as the small band of tissue that connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth."

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

How's your day been, Charm?

I celebrating the second best part of mine right now
(the first part was spending the AM with my daughter before going to work)

10:07 pm

Charm

I don't think you want an honest answer, GreyWoulf! It's been one....

10:07 pm

Jacula

ohromujici - we were a family that used 'black humour' to deal with the situation, as well as being 'real' about it. Even my Dad joined in on that, while he was still able. I remember sending my best friend a letter about going to see my Dad when he finally had to go into hospital.... I'd told her about the rushing to the door and tryingf to get out and go before we saw him banging on the glass and pleading with us to take him 'home'. (You will know what I mean about that.) but I'd told her about another patient who was only 48. We thought he might have been a waiter in his earlier life, since he marched with his left arm across, like it might have a starched teatowel on it. Anyway, he marched, up and down, up and down, up and down the ward and corridor. When his sister came to visit him, the only way she could spend time with him (as I wrote to my friend) was to link arms and march up and down with him. My friend cried buckets over that.:-(

10:08 pm

Charm

Fr5/16 - looks like that curly, bitter salad green - minus one 'e' at the end.

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear it, Charm... But at least you are with friends now

10:09 pm

cybernan

I know the salad green you mean, Charm, but not the name of it!

10:10 pm

mamabear

Charm - nothing to apologize for. Read it whenever you have a chance.... oh and it was a "day" for me too, thus the icon!!!

10:10 pm

Charm

friends. tea. the Monster Baby, the Monster Dog, and the hubby are all snoring. That's good. I think....

10:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Glad I am not the only one, cybernan :D

10:11 pm

Charm

FR5/16 - instead of salad green, how about a dog breed called "bichon fr***"?

10:11 pm

mamabear

Charm - "monster baby, monster dog" but you didn't say "monster hubby" - so things could be worse!! LOL

10:12 pm

ruffh2o

rofl

10:12 pm

Charm

MamaBear - we have those days, too. But this wasn't that bad!

10:12 pm

Jacula

Daughter, son and Other Half are all snoring here, I think, as are the 2 cats. That's good, I think?

10:13 pm

mamabear

I am feeling incredibly guilty for not trying harder on this grid.....

10:15 pm

cybernan

Thanks Charm - that did it!
How about the fr 5/16 that comes between the two fr4/7's meaning 'scots for from' and 'pottery glaze ingredient'?

10:15 pm

Charm

Going out of town for the weekend, starting tomorrow. So I wanted to do at least this one to see if I could ward off withdrawal until Monday. lol

10:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Sounds good to me, Jac
For me: baby is sleeping, one cat is enjoying my lap while another looks on jealously, wife is watching TV behind me, friends to chat with on the screen

Only knowledge that my money concerns were over could improve on this

10:15 pm

Jacula

WHY, Mama? It's only a puzzle.

10:16 pm

cybernan

Other than the one fr and some of the esses - I have the rest Mamabear, if I can help.

10:16 pm

ohromujici

Yeah Jac. There is a subtle irony in the sense that the person has a disease but they forget that they have a disease so for a while, there is a lot of frustration on the part of the patient and on the part of the family. It is a strange thing for families to go through though. In one sense, the families feel like they can't grieve or cry because their relative is walking and talking and is very much alive. But on the other hand, the person they knew is no longer there and never will be there again. It is a hard thing for people to go through because you lose someone you once knew even though there hasn't been a death. The lesson that I managed to take away from that situation was that you have to enjoy life while you can. ......and I have. : )

Have a good night all. I enjoyed talking to everyone.

10:17 pm

Charm

Cybernan - posted the proper def. of the first fr5/16 at 10:06.... Looks - again - like F+ girl's name (at least, I once knew a girl with that name).

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - you need another drink, since I typed in my list from work I have found a grand total of 6 more words
and that is only because someone else asked for help

10:17 pm

mamabear

ONLY a puzzle.... she didn't mean that Dr. God!!!

10:17 pm

Jacula

GW - that's something that could make us all instantly smile. Having said tbat remember money, even 'enough' money, isn't the sole route to happiness.

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

Good night, ohrom - see you tomorrow
Pleasant dreams

10:19 pm

mamabear

g'nite ohro - have a good nite and SWEET DREAMS!!!

10:19 pm

Charm

Jacula, I agree that money isn't the route to happiness. BUT, it can make that route more comfortable and the scenery is more attractive. Been on both sides of that route, and I much prefer not having to worry about paying the bills! But 'enough' for me may be a pittance to someone else....

10:20 pm

mamabear

Maybe you are right GW, be right back....

10:20 pm

Jacula

ohromujici - If you come back to this log and read my message - I just want to say that's the lesson I learned, too. Life's far shorter than you think... and then you die.

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

Money is only a means of protecting my base of operations to find the path to happiness, Jacula ---

10:21 pm

mamabear

Well if we are going to talk about money problems... maybe I should get 2 drinks AND one for everyone else!!!

10:21 pm

cybernan

Thanks Charm - I missed the posting other than the one at 10:08

10:21 pm

mamabear

GW - do me a favor... read my poem please - I would like to know what you think since you are a writer yourself.

10:22 pm

bbnaz

okay back from choir practice, perhaps i will find some more words!

10:22 pm

ohromujici

Good night GW, Jac, Mamma. I have learned that money doesn't buy happiness but it does buy one heck of a good cosmopolitian martini which leads directly to happiness. : )

See you all tomorrow.

10:23 pm

mamabear

choir practice? What section do you sing? i sing soprano in 2 different choirs

10:23 pm

mamabear

ohro - AMEN to THAT!!!!

10:23 pm

bbnaz

bottom feeder second alto, however my daughter is a first soprano.......

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

All I ever want monetarily is the knowledge that the fundamental bills are paid so that all I need to focus on is the ability to share quality time with friends w/o being afraid that tomorrow I will lose it all because of society's unhealthy obsession with measuring success with a bank balance

10:24 pm

Jacula

Charm - having been once married to a man who became a paper millionaire, I know what you mean. However, I still stand by my first statement.

10:24 pm

nordina

hello all

10:25 pm

mamabear

hi nordina!!!!

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Mama - I think your poem is wonderful in EVERY sense of the word. I am going to be printing a copy to post by my computer. (*big hug*)

10:26 pm

ruffh2o

hi nordina

10:26 pm

mamabear

Money indeed does not "buy" happiness. Happiness is generated from within. However, money and the adequate amount thereof DOES make life easier and does afford options in life and opportunities and experiences that are otherwise unattainable.

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey nordina - how are you?

10:27 pm

mamabear

Thanks GW, you made my nite!!! *great big hug back*

10:27 pm

LeslieAnn

fe 8/55?

10:27 pm

Charm

Jacula - that money isn't the sole route to happiness? I quite agree with that. Actually, I would go further and say it never leads to happiness. But I'm practical: want the college fund funded, the retirement fund funded, the mortgage paid. THEN I can relax and look for happiness - I don't think I could be happy if I had to worry about the baby's future security.
'Nuff said! My philosophy will crawl back and we'll return to babbling....

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

I second that, Charm! I'm beginning to regret I mentioned money at all :D

10:29 pm

Jacula

Hey, having no, or not enough money is big time shitsville, especially if you have children to look after. Somehow, if you do have children to look after, you will go out and FIND the money for their basic needs, though not always your own. But time progresses, as do you, and you find a level. Oh yes, it might be fantastic to have the pool, a milliion bathrooms, a bedroom plus an entertainment room with SKY in for each. But, is that going to happen? Probably not! So, count your blessings, take stock, and GIVE THANKS and GET ON WITH IT! That's the gospe according to Jacula anyway.

10:29 pm

mamabear

LeslieAnn - sorry but I do not have the fe 8......

10:30 pm

LeslieAnn

ah! got it. it is fe + consonant + vowel + what men wear to work

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Fe8 = hearth

10:31 pm

bbnaz

if you try some time you get what you need?

10:31 pm

harpjane

good clue, leslie ann!

10:31 pm

Charm

GreyWoulf - I think the hearth is fi8....

10:32 pm

bbnaz

clueless on both of those clues.....maybe a bit more?

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh is my face red!!! How did I get an I to equal an E,

must be the rum... (*reaches for another hit to wash away shame*)

10:33 pm

Jacula

An aside - this coming Christmas, don't overcook your calories, just overlook them and be sure to have a good time!

10:33 pm

Charm

fi8 - to be near or next to the camp fi**. Fi****** chats.

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi harpjane - when did you get here?

10:33 pm

bbnaz

RUM??? You said RUM????? guess i need to go and fix a meyers and squirt to lubricate the thought process......

10:34 pm

mamabear

bbnaz - another rum enthusiast??????

10:34 pm

mamabear

great clue charm.... thanks!!!

10:35 pm

bbnaz

yipperee

10:35 pm

Jacula

bbnaz - Who is Mick?

10:35 pm

harpjane

I could use help with the ri 5/10. I have one--(what the dough has done) but not the other. ty

10:35 pm

mamabear

LeslieAnn - what men wear to work?

10:35 pm

bbnaz

Jagger..........you know the song (or maybe you don't) "You can't always get what you want"

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

then welcome to the party bbanz!

(you are always welcome anyway, but it sounds good)

10:36 pm

Jacula

Mamabear - my 1st thought on your last post was 'overalls'. LOL.

10:36 pm

Charm

ri5/10 - same as what yeast does, but different final consonant. Alt. word for stair/step.

10:37 pm

ruffh2o

(sticking with appleton estates here)

10:37 pm

mamabear

Charm - you are the clue queen for the nite!!!!!

10:37 pm

Charm

And other days, I'm the proud owner of the haddock!

10:37 pm

mamabear

Jac - not quite!!! LOL

10:38 pm

bbnaz

thank you very much for the invite........it seems to be a cerebral crowd ;~)

10:38 pm

mamabear

Charm - you are a well rounded person!!!!

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

My first thought was shoes (as in dress)

10:38 pm

harpjane

ty for the ri 5/16. I should have gotten that one. How about a clue for the ri5/16 and 6/27? I'm determined to break 200 tonight!

10:39 pm

Charm

MamaBear, you understand perspective!

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

I just did that myself with that clue harpjane (break 200)

10:39 pm

bbnaz

I am looking for 130 words...cannot imagine 200 yet.

10:40 pm

mamabear

Charm - I try!!!

10:40 pm

harpjane

GW, I think we're about the same level, or we come to play at the same time, anyway!

10:40 pm

bbnaz

of course i only have 110 so far
but the other night with glorious help from Jac I made it to 125 (along with other nice folks too)

10:40 pm

Charm

if you have the first ri4/7 (meaning abundant or numerous), add a final consonant for the ri5/16. And for the ri6/27 - it is THE MOST of the ri4/7.

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

It sure seems that way, harpjane

10:41 pm

cybernan

Last one!
Any clues for the se 7/40? - finally resorted to a2z, but nothing there that fits.

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you Charm (*arms wide to give hug*)
For some reason, the double R placement is causing me brainlock

10:42 pm

Charm

se7/40 - go back to a2z and remember that pesky 'q'. It means following in order or time.

10:42 pm

cybernan

duh!!! -- just spotted it! Pass the bubbly, please.

10:43 pm

Charm

That silly 'q' just kept getting in my way all day....

10:43 pm

Smeltzdog

GreyWoulf

Hey Smeltz, welcome to the party

10:45 pm

GreyWoulf

A valiant effort, ruff. Sleep well and hopefully tomorrow will be more productive for you.

10:45 pm

mamabear

10:45 pm

ruffh2o

refusing to use a2z, and suspect that it will ruin me for this grid

10:46 pm

Charm

When all else fails, http://www.a2zwordfinder.com.

10:46 pm

harpjane

How about one more clue for se7/40? I KNOW I'm close!

10:47 pm

mamabear

10:51 pm

cybernan

Anyone need any clues before I log out for a while?

10:51 pm

Charm

et6 - an archaic form of a word for forever.

10:52 pm

cybernan

et 6 - Think of Rome, the et***** city - drop the final consonant

10:52 pm

bbnaz

10:52 pm

bbnaz

thank you cybernan

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

bbnaz

10:57 pm

cybernan

co7/32 - competition

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

it's OK, the glass was empty

I am a firm believer in the rule of Saint Callahan - "Hell has a special room for drinkers that contains a vat filled with every drop of alcohol spilt throughout their lives. and that they must spend thetr eternity hanging upside down in said vat"

10:59 pm

LeslieAnn

ou 9/66?

10:59 pm

10:59 pm

cybernan

11:02 pm

GreyWoulf

(*carefully sips drink w/o spilling a drop*)
See ya later, cybernan!

11:03 pm

cybernan

Mamabear - 8:58 pm (pacific standard) -- just an hour til post time.

11:03 pm

harpjane

(sign) how bout one more try at co 7/32?

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

I think freon is a brand name - that question came up a couple of nights ago

11:04 pm

cybernan

sorry - I meant the word freon (as in refrig. coolant) -- kept trying it to no avail.

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey MAMA, the way you are keeping my glass filled, a guy could think you are trying to take advantage of him ;)

11:04 pm

mamabear

harpjane - try this someone who was in prison is an Xco* - add to that an exam in school t***

11:05 pm

mamabear

cybernan - I know.... was being silly (which is my middle name)

11:05 pm

cybernan

When you put your name on a slip of paper and put it in the box at the mall, you are entering a co*****

11:06 pm

mamabear

GW - *wink*

11:06 pm

harpjane

Got it! (Duh...could you spell it out for me?) Now I feel really stupid! Oh well.

11:07 pm

mamabear

harpjane - the only word that doesn't exist in babbleonia is "stupid" - there is no stupid.... cross-eyed is more like it!!!

11:07 pm

GreyWoulf

it's a reflection of the game, not the player, harpjane
no need for such feelings

11:08 pm

cybernan

We have a poet and didn't noet -- impressive, Mamabear!

11:09 pm

harpjane

Can't help it. I feel safe in my stupidness, mind you. Not a problem.

11:09 pm

mamabear

thanks cybernan *blush*

11:09 pm

bbnaz

two words shy of my goal.........talk about cross eyed

11:09 pm

GreyWoulf

How about a hint for the co7/44?

11:10 pm

bbnaz

don't throw a hissy ***

11:10 pm

Smeltzdog

I don't care much about finishing today.

11:10 pm

bbnaz

slang for prisoner leads out

11:11 pm

Charm

co7 - pl. of co6/30 cooked in fat (a fr. dish called duck co****).

11:11 pm

cybernan

co7/44 (tHen I'm off): 1st 3 letter = prefix meaning with,
plus clothes that are not baggy *** + plural

11:11 pm

bbnaz

prisoner = co*
tantrum = ***

then you can pluralize it too

11:12 pm

mamabear

Welcome to my world, Smeltz!!! I have only 133 words. Been enjoying the chat more than the hunt tonite!

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

Smeltzdog

it's mr and mrs smeltzdog

11:15 pm

GreyWoulf

BTW, the Saint Callahan I referenced is Mike Callahan from the Callahans Crosstime Saloon books by Spider Robinson. I just realised that he didn't say it though. It was Doc Webster, one of the regulars/main characters.
Warning - stay away from these books if you don't like/appreciate puns!

11:15 pm

mamabear

11:21 pm

harpjane

GW co7/44: a meat that is cooked in its own fat. happens a lot with duck.

11:22 pm

mamabear

GW - I asked Smeltzdog why he was so formal ("mr and mrs. smeltzdog") and he said that's what you wear to a wedding... so that's why........

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

the ec's are confusing me - I'm sure the 8 is pl.
but what is the 7?

11:22 pm

harpjane

I have done the math and I am convinced that there can only be one fe4/8. I have the people who work for the gov. What's the other one?

11:23 pm

harpjane

gw-A transitional zone between two communities containing the characteristic species of each

11:23 pm

GreyWoulf

11:25 pm

bbnaz

11:26 pm

mamabear

GW - yes it does!!!! *wink & hug+ - and today is your luck yday - I have the ec's of which you speak!!!! ec 7 is ec* (what happens when you yell off a mountain top without the h) + the ring**** on your cell phone) plus the 8 is the plural

11:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you for the help -- I just have one more 8 to get, the te

mamabear

GW - what an incredibly sweet thing to say..... *bear hug plus....*

11:31 pm

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

11:33 pm

GreyWoulf

11:33 pm

bbnaz

11:34 pm

mamabear

11:34 pm

harpjane

By golly, you're right MAMA. I never did find the other fe4/8. Any clues, or should I cut my losses and move on?

11:34 pm

mamabear

I'm sorry bb & harpjane - didn't mean to cause a ruckus!

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

the fe4/8 is fe + "the *** Couple" - d

harpjane

11:37 pm

mamabear

11:37 pm

Stace
