12:02 am

mamabear

12:02 am

sprite

Great going, stillcrazy!

12:02 am

stillcrazy

LOL

12:02 am

Jacula

Morning all!

12:02 am

mamabear

stillcrazy - that "show off" was meant for GW, not you!!

12:03 am

stillcrazy

ty sprite and I know mama...I thought it was funny!

12:03 am

GreyWoulf

Excellent job, stillcrazy
the tension was thick for a moment

12:03 am

stillcrazy

Hi there Jacula....you are one I owe the thanks to

12:04 am

mamabear

can I get a clue for the c7????? LOL

12:04 am

stillcrazy

boy was it ever Grey Woulf! I was almost crying!

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

I am not a showoff!!

(*balances drink on forehead*)

12:05 am

mamabear

OMG - another monster.... 278 words!!!!!

12:05 am

sprite

*Steals GW's drink and finishes it*

12:05 am

GreyWoulf

That was how I felt the other night, stillcrazy, when I missed by one despite MAMA and everyone elses wonderful help and support

12:06 am

mamabear

Now Sprite, no need to steal.. there's plenty to go around. would like a "rum & sprite"???? Malibu & sprite is a lovely combo I've found

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

Hey!!!
Where'd my drink go?
(*spies sprite across the room and wags finger at her*)

12:06 am

Stace

curious? Every time I work on a puzzle, I never see myself listed to find my end score. I'm usually looking when it closes, so I don't see my exact end number. Is this a glitch on me or does everyone see all who played except themselves?

12:06 am

stillcrazy

awww sorry I wasn't here to help you out.

12:07 am

mamabear

"...... still crazy..... after all these years....."

12:08 am

GreyWoulf

It takes a few minutes for the scores to fully tabulate, Stace. Wait about two minutes and then check back and you should be fine

12:08 am

sprite

But MAMA... it was the stealing that was so much fun! Should teach GreyWoulf to never let a drink unattended with me around ;)

12:09 am

stillcrazy

you betcha mama and ever more still after that last game

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

stillcrazy, I agree, pity... but it was one of the most thrilling moments I have had in a long while. So it was all good :)

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

!?! How is balancing a drink on my forehead leaving it unattended?

12:10 am

sprite

"See MAMA, no hands!"

12:10 am

sprite

Ah, great, I found fish.

12:11 am

stillcrazy

I'm so glad I got it last 5 seconds

12:11 am

bbnaz

GW I scored 2375............now on to today's puzzle...

12:11 am

mamabear

stillcrazy - did you slay the dragon???? or only mame him?

12:12 am

cybernan

oh-o - the dreaded x

12:12 am

mamabear

I found fish too!!!!! I used the cork from the bottle as bait

12:12 am

stillcrazy

slayed him dead...got them all!

12:13 am

mamabear

good job oh faithful one, bbnaz!!!!

12:13 am

sprite

And lots of fruit as well. Healthy grid this is, notwithstanding the vermin.

12:16 am

sprite

How sweet of your cat ;)

12:16 am

mamabear

does anybody else want to kill that s in the corner so they can type in carpools?

12:16 am

GreyWoulf

12:17 am

DarleenMB

It won't last though. I think it's supposed to actually stick to the ground for a little while tomorrow, then melt.

12:17 am

Stace

hmm...777 with 59 words. Am I in over my head here? After playing about a game or two a week for several weeks now, my highest so far is 76 words.

I don't call it cold. I have entire outfits that I don't get to wear until it's below 0 degrees F.

12:19 am

DarleenMB

stillcrazy, it's about 30 miles south of the Montana border so we'll probably see some snowflakes by morning.

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

Stace, don't get discouraged... it's really not about keeping score unless you make it that way --- I for one don't even bother looking at the rankings

The most important thing is to have fun!!!

12:20 am

harpjane

But then again, I AM having hot flashes these days!

12:20 am

DarleenMB

harpjane I love your style sense. And me too. I have sweaters that haven't seen daylight for a couple of winters because of the drought

12:20 am

stillcrazy

12:22 am

mamabear

12:22 am

GreyWoulf

MAMA - it relates to decision making

12:23 am

sprite

LOL GreyWoulf... I did check the rankings today, for a change... isn't it great we are all on a shared first place here?

12:23 am

harpjane

Sorry Mama, I just have the c4's

12:23 am

stillcrazy

I know what you mean....I'm originally from MA....Have lived here now for 23 years.

12:23 am

12:24 am

sprite

MAMA, for that C7, take your pick.

12:24 am

stillcrazy

LOL probably!

12:24 am

harpjane

1:00 am

sprite

Why do most of my days start with: "Mam, the teacher said we had to take ..... to school today."
"And why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Oh, I forgot."

1:00 am

stillcrazy

WTG bbnaz! Goodnight and sleep well.

1:00 am

bodkinz

sprite.. that sounds about right.. lol

1:01 am

CJ162003

sprite.. i'm so glad i don't have kids right now

1:01 am

sprite

"So where do I get an elephant suit at this time of morning... and a set of fairy wings... and 2 magic wands..."

1:02 am

sprite

while all I really want to do is babble! LOL

1:02 am

bodkinz

they grow on trees!! ;p

1:03 am

sprite

*goes into garden and checks trees... nope... nope... wonder if Holland grows that kind of trees...*

1:04 am

CJ162003

sprite have you found the money tree yet?

1:04 am

stillcrazy

1:05 am

stillcrazy

1:05 am

stillcrazy

cardboard not the other

1:06 am

stillcrazy

1:06 am

stillcrazy

1:09 am

sprite

That must be wonderful, all the fun and not the responsibility you have for your own kids :)
The elephant thing was solved with a rubber hose and a blanket, together with some cardboard ears. Oh my, I need a drink ;)

1:09 am

CJ162003

lol... my hat is off to the parents... i'm 20 and i don't ever think i'll be ready to have kids

night cybernan

1:20 am

sprite

Night, you sleepers, and for the rest: join me in the hunt. Bodkinz... I make it a rule never to have beer before breakfast, so I cannot... should not... oh my, what a day!
Husband overslept (after being awakened by me, right) and started the day with: "What time is it then? What? But... what day is it then?"

1:21 am

Blaze

Howdy doody Sprite and all... just a peek to see what I can do....

1:22 am

sprite

It is a nice grid, with lots of sound-words! After the already mentioned ones I also found A5/16 (that was a fright) and A5/14 (bless you).

1:22 am

CJ162003

sprite i don't know how you do it?

1:22 am

sprite

Blaze, join in! We have fish, fruits, vermin and lots of sound-words :)

1:22 am

GreyWoulf

Hello again, my friends

I said I might be back and I am
I shouldn't be, but I just can't go to bed with only 11 words

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

Just checked the log, looks like just about everyone from my side has turned in

1:23 am

sprite

GreyWoulf, I had a feeling you would :)
CJ, there is only one way to hang in in such a family: see the fun of it all and keep laughing. Really :)

1:23 am

CJ162003

grey woulf i'm still here

1:24 am

aling5

Yeah, Blaze! Lots of fruit! It's a veritable fe 5/16!

1:25 am

GreyWoulf

BTW, CJ when I was your age I couldn't picture myself with kids either, have patience --- when the time is right it'll happen and you won't hesitate because it will all just flow

1:26 am

GreyWoulf

Hiya Blaze

1:26 am

sprite

Yeah, and after all the flowing you sit on the couch in the morning, after all the rest left the house, and you wonder how on earth did you get to be part of this madness ;)

1:26 am

CJ162003

grey woulf.... i love kids but i love giving them back to their parents too

1:27 am

Blaze

then they grow up leave home and you breathe and they come back... with extras....LOL

1:27 am

sprite

ROFLOL!

1:27 am

CJ162003

lol blaze.... my parents refuse to be grandparents until they turn fifty

1:27 am

GreyWoulf

so true, sprite, but then just as quickly you wonder how you got by without the madness for so long

1:28 am

Blaze

i was a grandparent at 37 it is way more fun... you have energy then.....

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

lol Blaze

CJ, how do your parents plan to enforce that decision?

1:29 am

sprite

And that's the true... wouldn't want to miss them for the world. With madness and all. And when I dare to ask aloud how I came to have this family, my kids tell me they just are like me, so I guess I can't complain ;)

1:30 am

Blaze

You and they need lots of gr 5/16

1:30 am

CJ162003

i think they will be ok with it anytime... want me to be a young adult and explore life before i have kids

1:30 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze, I tip my hat to you -- my daughter was born when I was 35, my key regret is that I don't have the stamina from when I was 25

1:31 am

Blaze

CJ marriage helps too... two parents are needed in this madness.....

1:32 am

GreyWoulf

Amen, Blaze

1:32 am

CJ162003

blaze the "m" word is not even in my plans for the next 5-7 years

1:33 am

Blaze

CJ then that fixes that..... just rent them once in a while...

1:33 am

GreyWoulf

CJ, where are you located?

1:33 am

Blaze

That does look right...in print... I mean babysit and stuff like that.....

1:34 am

sprite

Isn't that true... I am so glad every day that I don't have to do it on my own. I am truly grateful I don't have to be a single mom.
Well, some grid news as well: I found some biggies, and hey, the X is used quite a lot!
A7/36, C7/36 x2, C7/44, C6/39 and H6/39, E7/56, R7/28, S7/36 and T7/48.
(Perhaps some of those have been mentioned already, I thought I'd list what I found so far.)

1:34 am

CJ162003

grey woulf i'm in alabama

1:35 am

GreyWoulf

sprite, you've been busy!

1:35 am

Blaze

Sprite and here I thought I was doing good with one 6 letter word.... LOL

1:35 am

CJ162003

blaze i have 3 god-children and at 7 yrs, 2yrs, and 10 months that all the birth control i need

1:35 am

sprite

I need the distraction, GreyWoulf ;)

1:36 am

GreyWoulf

CJ, a little too far away to let you borrow mine for a bit...but if you are ever going to be in the Lansdale, PA area be sure to let me know!

1:36 am

Blaze

CJ ROFLOL I always say that Birth control pictures should not contain babies but really rough toddlers and teenagers.....LOL

1:37 am

bodkinz

ok i'm off to bed for a bit.. weekend starts here for me...
100 here.. will finish later :) byeee night :)

1:37 am

Blaze

Good nite

1:38 am

CJ162003

blaze you have to be 1 on 1 with the 2yr old. she can keep you busy

1:38 am

sprite

I am still having fun over the E6/39-7/56. I wanted to use this prefix so badly I tried about everything and then something took... but in this word it isn't a prefix, it has nothing to do with "former" and the meaning is obscure: Of or relating to a xylem whose early development is away from the center and toward the periphery.

1:38 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite bodkins,
sorry I didn't greet you when I came back

1:39 am

bodkinz

no worries :) still here but not using the grey matter.. last ciggy.. last slurp of beer... but no thinking :)

1:39 am

sprite

Sleep well, bodkinz!

1:39 am

CJ162003

night bodkinz

1:40 am

Blaze

Lovely Sprite.... is that what you stand in when you get divorced......?? LOL

1:40 am

GreyWoulf

Bodkinz -- some would say that you have just described Nirvana :D

1:40 am

sprite

Guess so, Blaze, LOL!

1:40 am

GreyWoulf

sprite, whereas I have seen the term before in SF wargaming - specifically Warhammer 40K

1:41 am

bodkinz

Lithium.... Teen Spirit!

1:41 am

Blaze

I keep seeing haggis and peace.....LOL

1:42 am

sprite

I think it is a beautiful word. And I really love to be rewarded for being stupidly naive. :D

1:43 am

sprite

Blaze, I keep seeing 'garage' :)

1:44 am

GreyWoulf

I want the bottom A to be an E

1:44 am

sprite

I second that motion.

1:44 am

Blaze

tut tut.... now I get it....

1:46 am

bodkinz

lol

1:46 am

sprite

It's catching.

1:48 am

sprite

D7/36. Looks like there should be a D6 from the same word as well, but there isn't. Guess it is some funny plural of the D5/14, which in itself was a plural to me already.

1:50 am

GreyWoulf

I agree with you on that one, sprite

1:53 am

sprite

Something I really learned from babble: try anything, however unlikely it seems :)

1:55 am

GreyWoulf

That was what drew me to the game. I read about it in a circular for the Science Fiction Book Club. Apparently, the author Robin Hobb likes playing Babble and has found words to help describe scenes by monkey typing on grids. (She didn't use the term monkey typing, though)

1:56 am

Blaze

I must bid farewell I will print the grid and be off for the week end... Have a great game... see you on Monday...

1:57 am

sprite

I really can imagine that. I feel it helps my creative writing too. And since I write fantasy, that is necessary, lol.

1:57 am

CJ162003

bye blaze great talking to you

1:57 am

sprite

Bye Blaze, have a great weekend! Will miss you :(

1:57 am

GreyWoulf

So long, Blaze
sleep well and I'll be looking for you then

1:59 am

GreyWoulf

sprite, have your books made it over to the US?

2:00 am

sprite

Wish they had, GreyWoulf, I think they would do well there. But the translation is a problem. Too expensive, publishers don't want to take the risk. And I don't have enough time to do it myself, besides, I am not a native speaker and you can always tell.

2:02 am

sprite

I can add S4/5-5/12 to the list of sound words. Incredibly, how many of them are in this grid!

2:04 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear that. Because I definitely am intrigued. It's always interesting when you read an author's work after you get to talk to the person. It gives you a very different perspective on the story, no matter what the genre.
I'd offer to help you, but that would be a lie. My plate is too full just getting by right now. But if anything ever gets over here, please be sure to tell me!

2:05 am

sprite

I will, and thanks for the thought! We did some translating for the website. If you like, you could sneak a little preview on http://www.jirelle.nl/en/index .php
(leave out the babble spaces)

2:10 am

GreyWoulf

I just bookmarked it. I will check it out tomorrow, too many words jumping off the grid right now. Although I am finding all the little ones, the 7's are eluding me. I have a c7/36, the e7 & d7 you pointed out, the f7, and that's it.

2:13 am

jenwould

Morning all. Greywoulf...you're up late aren't you? Nice surprise!

2:13 am

sprite

The other C7s I have aren't too obvious. One refers to flatworms, the other is a plural for leader, think greek drama. T7 plural state ;)
And R7 think colour or cheerful. Hope that helps you on your way :)

2:15 am

GreyWoulf

morning, jen

maybe a little, when I get focussed I lose track of the clock

2:15 am

jenwould

not seeing my crutch (the 2 letter breakdowns on babblers/anon. anyone with a clue? Don't think I missed it in the earlier posts did I? Where is our fearless leader BrandyJack?

2:16 am

CJ162003

morning jen

2:16 am

jenwould

GW~ you're an hour ahead of me, and the only reason I play at this G^#$*# awful time is that I am blessed with working in a department that is VERY slow during nocs. Gee to babble and get paid for it... it's wonderful

2:19 am

GreyWoulf

Jen, I am a night owl (night wolf?), I tend to get no time on the computer except late bec I am playing with my daughter, so when I get the time to myself, I run with it. Thankfully I have a three day wekend so I can afford to splurge a little tonight (morning?)

2:22 am

jenwould

excellent, belated hi to CJ also and the faithfuls Blaze, Sprite and Bod.... and anyone else babbling in the shadows.. ;-)

2:22 am

tbear

Morning/evening Babblers... :)

2:23 am

sprite

Hi there tbear!

2:23 am

GreyWoulf

mornin' tbear

2:23 am

tbear

Hi sprite...how's it going?

2:24 am

tbear

GreyWoulf.....love yr pic...they are beautiful creatures!

2:25 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks, tbear
Love your pic too!

2:28 am

sprite

Going great, tbear. Nice grid! Hunt for fish, fruits, and especially for sound related words. I found another one!
So far A5x2, E4 + 5, G4, H6, O4 x2, P4 + 5, S4 + 5.
They either descripe a sound or are sounds that made it into words :)

2:29 am

GreyWoulf

sprite - got the flatworm, but I'm a little weak on my Greek drama

2:30 am

tbear

Thx Sprite...any help with the d5/14...seem to have tried every possible combination...obviously not tho!

2:30 am

sprite

The def is "1. One who undertook the expense of providing the chorus in ancient Greek drama.
2. The leader of a group or movement." And then plural.
You probably have the R4/6 that is the ending of this one.

2:33 am

GreyWoulf

Thanks, now I've got it!

2:35 am

sprite

Tbear, wish I could show you;)
And then the plural.

2:38 am

tbear

Found it....like you thought that WAS the plural...:)

2:38 am

GreyWoulf

until you check the def in the dictionary

2:39 am

sprite

Yes, I am right with GreyWoulf: not very strong on greek words atm.

2:41 am

sprite

It was only after checking the def that I realised the 7 was no verb :)

2:53 am

spatialbean

the cheat sheet is up on babblers anon

2:54 am

sprite

7s:
Ap36
Ce36, Ch36, Ch44
De36
Es36, Ex56
Fe44
Ro28
Sa28, Sc44, Sc36
Te48

2:54 am

sprite

LOL @ cheat sheet! Wonderful word.

2:55 am

spatialbean

~:oP

2:59 am

GreyWoulf

great job on the 7's sprite
I'm still wallowing in your wake

3:00 am

jenwould

sprite~you are my idol. I got your pedestal out..polished it up nice and shiny, even added motion sensor spot lights, just step up!

3:01 am

GreyWoulf

Careful sprite, all that polish... you could slip and hurt yourself

3:02 am

sprite

LMAO. Sure... can't count the times I hit myself on the head. I just found 8 (!) words I couldn'd find for the last half hour, just by checking my list for forgotten plurals and singulars and such.

3:03 am

sprite

Polish... like Asimov pointed out, the only word that changes its pronunciation just by writing it capitalised.

3:04 am

GreyWoulf

I never noticed that before... and I call myself an Asimov fan!

3:05 am

sprite

It's in one of his Black Widower's stories, not in the sf-books. Perhaps that's why?

3:06 am

GreyWoulf

Most likely, most people are unaware of just how prolific a writer he was

3:07 am

GreyWoulf

Almost got the 7's, just that R and the S's to go

3:08 am

sprite

I read quite a lot of his work, but I will never think I read all :)

3:12 am

GreyWoulf

Growing up I considered the holy trinity of SF to be Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke with Heinlein as their prophet

3:15 am

sprite

I still do.

3:16 am

sprite

Though Jules Verne deserves credit!

3:18 am

GreyWoulf

Yes, Verne was definitely key, as was H.G.Wells

3:20 am

sprite

Guess we wouldn't get bored if we had access to eachother's book shelves :)

3:21 am

GreyWoulf

Oh my!!! I just saw the clock -- it's 4:20 AM here!!!
I should go to bed. The baby will be getting up in around 5 hours and I have to get up with her.

3:23 am

sprite

Go get some shuteye then, GreyWoulf. The little one will have no compassion whatsoever with your babble night :)

3:23 am

GreyWoulf

But first, I agree, prowling through your library sounds like it would be fun

However, the library I would love to visit is renfield's. OMG, ren has a personal library of 10,000 books. I can't wven picture that many outside of a library!

3:27 am

sprite

Sleep well, and double ;)

3:28 am

GreyWoulf

Good night then, sprite. I do love our chats.
(*hugs farewell regretfully*)
And good night to everyone else, tbear, jen, CJ, and you too spatialbean, tho I didn't say hi to you (sorry)

With luck I will be back tonight to finish
(*hugs to all who want one*)
TTFN

3:58 am

jenwould

hi cj...still plugging away..

3:58 am

sprite

Half and half, CJ, busy doing other things but checking back at the log at times. Can I help you?

4:13 am

Can anyone help me to get to the word list on Babblers anon Please

4:18 am

sprite

http://p105.ezboard.com/fbabbl ersanonymousfrm2.showMessage?t opicID=6.topic

4:18 am

sprite

I am gone, with 278 words / 4.71 / 3329 points for today. Bye all and happy hunting.

4:33 am

judierae

oops!! can't type either! sigh

4:34 am

4:36 am

maybe Jen, but my age should help as I sit in my rocking chair!!

4:37 am

jenwould

well I'd sit in a rocking chair if I had one!

4:38 am

judierae

giggle~~~am shipping mine straight to you via horse and wagon

4:38 am

Deeha

is it me? just logged on and cant see any 'statistics' for today other than number of words

4:39 am

jenwould

could you send me a nice foot massager too while you're at it, maybe some new glasses, because I'm blind as a bat using the ones I have now!

4:39 am

jenwould

dee~ hit f5..

4:40 am

davetins and deeha - click on babblers anon in friends of

4:40 am

judierae

It will take awhile, while I seek out your requests

4:42 am

jenwould

if there's one thing I have, it's time and patience...Judi meanwhile I'll just continue rocking myself without the rocker. (looks a bit odd but I'm alone so I think it's ok)

4:44 am

judierae

I won't tell anyone Jan

4:45 am

jenwould

great, you're a pal Judi!

4:46 am

Thanks for that Broll. I have never 'visited' that before. You have introduced me to an interesting new bit!

Good morning, everyone. I see our canine and feline devotees are represented in this grid, and the anglers aren't forgotten either!

5:04 am

jenwould

morning Haz~ how are you?

5:04 am

Poo's Mom

Good Morning!

5:05 am

jenwould

hey Poo's mom!

5:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jen, I'm fine. I'm determined to restrict myself with babble today and get some housework done instead, so I'm having a quick stab at it.

5:06 am

jenwould

I admire your determination...good luck with that ;-)!

5:07 am

Poo's Mom

Hey Jen! I'm afraid to look at my standings...never finished yesterday - Poo got accepted to Clarion Univ. and we went out to celebrate :)

5:07 am

Haz1558

I'm still sitting here, though.... I've got 101 words so far and I'm allowing myself another few, then it's time to do battle with the dust.

5:08 am

Haz1558

Congratulations to Poo! Does that mean she'll be moving away from home?

5:09 am

Poo's Mom

Haz - just an hour and a half distance. Can't be too far away from her beloved felines!

5:10 am

Poo's Mom

Then it'll be just me and Babble LOL

5:11 am

Haz1558

That's nice that she's still fairly close. My younger daughter started Edinburgh University this September and she's either a plane or boat journey away.

5:11 am

jenwould

where's Clarion, PA?

5:16 am

Poo's Mom

Clarion is SE of Erie/NE of Pittsburgh

5:17 am

jenwould

how exciting for you both... a baby bird leaving the nest...aww

5:19 am

Poo's Mom

We'll see how brave I am come next fall! LOL And then I'll be on my own in Babbleland

5:20 am

Haz1558

Be warned Poo's mum - the amount of 'stuff' students need to take with them is amazing! I kept preaching that when I started university all I had was one suitcase with me, but it fell on deaf ears.

5:23 am

Poo's Mom

I know - so much to think about! I've been told the fun really starts now... scholarships, financial aid etc.

5:25 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, the cost of it all!

5:30 am

Poo's Mom

Today's puzzle is making me hungry!

5:36 am

Haz1558

Poo's mum sat down to a fe5/16. There were oa4/4, pork ch5/16 and pe 4/5 with a dessert of pe5/12 and pe5/16. All washed down by so4/5 water.

5:39 am

Poo's Mom

LOL Haz ~ don't forget the aged ho4/6!

5:40 am

Doreen17

Don't forget the yummy ta 5/12

5:41 am

Haz1558

That's a new way of describing beer!

5:44 am

Poo's Mom

none of this would have been possible if i hadn't harvested my cr5/14

5:51 am

Haz1558

But now you can sit on your po5/16 and watch the world go by. I, meanwhile, am going to devote myself to the rest of the housework and to exercising the dog. See you all later.

5:52 am

Poo's Mom

Bye Haz!

6:02 am

cathy22w

morning all

6:03 am

Poo's Mom

Mornin' Cathy!

6:09 am

cathy22w

i do like these big puzzles, but don't really have time to do them completely...!

6:14 am

mu

Hi all: loved the first A word today, my reaction exactly when I saw it was another biggie. I quite like them but they are taking huge chunks of my life(and sanity) lol

6:15 am

cathy22w

mu... my point exactly! have had to exercise some - yikes - self control in the evenings and spend time with my family!

6:16 am

Poo's Mom

LOL I was good yesterday and didn't babble during work....

6:18 am

cathy22w

poo - if i have a few mins at lunch i will do it, or very occasionally i will use it for 'thinking' time..... !

6:20 am

mu

Fortunely cathy I don't really have that problem as my lot are all grown up, but I do have to fight my son for his computer in the evening - so try do do as much as I can before he gets home. Husband loves TV so we are mainly content with our pastimes

6:21 am

Poo's Mom

I try to get on there during lunch... depends on who's lurking around me in the office. It is educational ~ we're learning - and using - lots of new words!

6:22 am

cathy22w

lol poo.... i agree!

6:25 am

mu

And we're never to old to learn. I got a shock about how few I new (at my age) when I found this site.

6:26 am

Poo's Mom

Mu I can relate to that!

6:28 am

cathy22w

well, if this puzzle is anything to go by, i still haven't learnt much!

6:29 am

mu

Poo's Mum; Life is one long learning curve isn't it

6:29 am

cathy22w

i wish they would take 'fest' as a word!

6:30 am

Poo's Mom

All is puzzle does is make me hungry Cathy! Yes, Mu ~ got to keep our minds active

6:31 am

cathy22w

lol poo

6:34 am

joelgee

good morning--
after yesterday's grid and today's grid, you'd think "aaargh" would be a legit word.

6:35 am

mu

joelgee drop one vowel

6:35 am

gramma

joelgee, just drop a vowel

6:35 am

joelgee

funny.

6:36 am

joelgee

sh*t! You weren't kidding. I won't use that line again today. My apologies.

6:36 am

joelgee

Answer B:
Drop which vowel?

6:37 am

gramma

Mornin' all! Just startedand joelgee was kind enough to give my first word.

6:37 am

mu

That has given me the best giggle of the week joelgee

6:37 am

Alleyn

Another big one. Only have half an hour .......... ouch

6:37 am

Poo's Mom

LOL Joel!!! On that note, I must get ready for work. See you all later!

6:39 am

joelgee

these may be famous last words, but while the word count approaches yesterday's, I don't think it's gonna be as gruesome. No 8,9,or 11 letter words.

6:40 am

gramma

Joelgee, I'm waiting for the rest of the words. See if you can sneak them in. That 1st one was very subtle.

6:41 am

joelgee

gramma--
don't hold your breath.

6:42 am

gramma

ty for the clue but I can't find it

6:42 am

joelgee

look harder.

6:45 am

gramma

cfeppaxo! wow! it was right there in front of me. doh

6:45 am

joelgee

told you.

6:46 am

gramma

no1 likes a told-ya-so.

6:56 am

gramma

Found 3 fish so far. Any more?

6:58 am

jenwould

morning again, loving the log, you guys had me in stiches. Gramma, I saw 2 fish... what are the beginning letters please?

6:58 am

Munner

Morning from Atlanta. Great puzzle. I've found over half without using hints...That's good for my frazzled brain.

7:00 am

dunny

Sorry everyone, but can someone tell me how many words/points there are today, my PC is playing up and won't show me the full log. Thank you in advance.

7:01 am

gramma

ga, ca, co fish. Hey munner. I've been thinking of you and hoping all was well. I hadn't seen you on the log and was worried

7:03 am

gramma

278

7:05 am

jenwould

gramma, must learn the meanings of the words I monkey type. Hmmmm...so that's a fish? ok!

7:05 am

Ho Hum

there is an ro fish too that is also a beetle

7:07 am

gramma

jenwould, you probably know this; but, if you hit the ? in your word list, it gives you the definition

7:08 am

gramma

Ho hum, again I have learned something new. ty

7:10 am

jenwould

yes I know, I'm always up against the clock though, don't want to mess with the learning aspect or anything...oh no, would rather get points, and gray out the boxes. crazy I know.

7:11 am

gramma

jenwould, I have to look it up. Even if I won't remember it the next day.

7:15 am

joelgee

I do the combo. When I'm knocking out words, I just knock'em out. Later, when I'm looking down the word list to fill in holes, I'll look up the ones that I have no idea about or are surprising in some way--like they look like they come from no known language.

7:22 am

amandacath

Hi all! Only 130 or so to go - any help with these 7s:
Ch 36, Es 36, and all 3 S's
Got all the others

7:24 am

jenwould

amanda, no idea...but can't wait to get the clues myself!

7:25 am

EvaNadine

looks like im gonna have another swamped day here today...hence, minimal time for babbling...
TGIF!!

7:25 am

Atalante

I've got all the same 7s as you AManda, sorry!

7:25 am

joelgee

ch7/36--
makes a selection

7:26 am

amandacath

Oh *!?$%§ - I hate it when I miss the obvious ones!

7:27 am

joelgee

amanadacath--
it is a windy word.

7:30 am

Atalante

there is really another fish - but not accepted - esox - a pike

7:30 am

amandacath

Aha! You mean windy, not windy! Tried to make Chicago fit, but it wouldn't work

7:31 am

joelgee

yeah. Not windy, like in Chi, but windy like in serpentine.

7:37 am

amandacath

It never ceases to amaze me what kind of ridiculous words the English language holds in store for us! Just put in an s5/16 that I wa sure wouldn't work, and whaddaya know...

7:42 am

begrery

morning all
amanda cath, if that is an sc5/16 dont forget to make it plural.

7:45 am

Atalante

the es/36 grows off one of the fishes

7:47 am

amandacath

Thanks, Atalante - didn't know you could have that without a ment

7:47 am

Atalante

nor me till a few minutes ago!

7:48 am

joelgee

you only need a ment if you've been eating garlic. Don't forget to pluralize.

7:48 am

bbnaz

good morning to you early (for me) babblers. and now to attempt to better yesterday's 150 word effort!

7:49 am

joelgee

you go, bbnaz!

7:50 am

Atalante

never forget to pluralise!

7:50 am

bbnaz

tyvm joel........i imagine it will once again come down to the wire...........but that is some of the fun!

7:51 am

joelgee

Yeah. Fun. Like poking needles in your eyeballs.

7:52 am

bbnaz

ahhh but when they are crossed, it is harder to hit the pupils!

7:52 am

joelgee

But that's the challenge, like finding the last few words.

7:55 am

joelgee

You just have to keep poking around, 'til you get 'em.

7:57 am

bbnaz

then when you take a sip, you sprout like a fountain

7:59 am

joelgee

Then it gets all over your monitor and you have to find something to clean it up and you can't find anything so you use your shirt. Then you rip the shirt and you have a wet monitor and a ripped shirt so you go to find something else to wear and you trip over the dictionary.
Babbling can be hazardous to your health.

amandacath

Yeah, you start thinking "Horace and Oprah moxed their shoops" makes perfect sense....why doesn't Babble think so?

8:05 am

joelgee

okay, amandacath.
It's okay to use sentences like that here, but outside the Babbleverse ...

8:06 am

tbear

Pero que me dices....soy una anjelita...me lo dijo mi madre...

8:06 am

amandacath

My friends keep saying that too. Funny....

8:07 am

joelgee

okay, amandacath.
Um. Does anybody see these friends besides you?

8:07 am

tbear is proving that she's a cunning linguist.

joelgee, I came back just in time for your smut talk.

8:10 am

The friends others see are the ones who tell me I can't say things like that. The other ones understand me perfectly!

8:10 am

joelgee

seulement francais, un peux.

8:10 am

tbear

Ok...back to frenching

8:11 am

joelgee

smut talk? Gramma, whatever do you mean? I was complimenting tbear on her multilingual accomplishments.

8:11 am

gramma

Clean it up you guys...my husband won't be home till noon

8:12 am

gramma

maybe it's just me?? minds of a feather gutter together. Isn't that how the expression goes?

8:13 am

joelgee

Gramma,
I read back and see only innocent comments. If any smut is here, where could it be coming from, hmmmm?

8:14 am

ScoutsMom

Good morning, Gramma. I have never heard that phrase before but I'm adding it to my lexicon of smart-aleck starting...now.

8:14 am

I may not be young but I'm not dead

8:15 am

minds of a feather.......all right Gramma, it is going into my repartee also!

Hey miyavi, wot u been up 2 2day...?

8:16 am

bbnaz

okay, break to take chilluns to school. at 60 so have hope for a good score today.....

8:16 am

8:17 am

Jen

Good morning everyone!! How are all of you today?

8:17 am

Miyavi_fan

Eh...school trip to some kind of virtual rainforest...thing. Two hundred years of bearded men talking about the mating habits of monkeys. And you?

8:17 am

joelgee

same.

8:19 am

gramma

Hey jen! it's a fun 1 today

8:20 am

ScoutsMom

Those are the guys, Joelgee! How did you know?

8:21 am

Jen

I was really hoping for a smaller one today! But oh well. And the mating habits of monkeys sounds more interesting than the household chores I've had to deal with already today! :)

8:21 am

joelgee

wild guess

8:22 am

joelgee

Hi ho. Hi ho. It's off to work we go. . .
117 left. On the flipside.

8:23 am

Miyavi_fan

Not really Jen...they went into a painful amount of detail

8:23 am

tbear

joelgee,ur on fine form today....thanks for making me laff...now make dealing with the washing funny

8:24 am

joelgee

tbear--
Everybody has limits.

Ah the joys of useless information! Maybe that's why I got out of teaching....

8:25 am

gramma

joelgee, are you outta here?

8:25 am

tbear

Oh well was worth a try...see you later guys

8:26 am

gramma

Bye tbear

8:26 am

joelgee

8:29 am

Useless information is so much fun, though! Miyavi, did you get the "difference between chimps and bonobos" spiel? I always enjoy that one - gives me hope that we humans might also one day evolve into happy creatures.

Oh Miyavi, I'm so sorry. Girls and boys all together in a huge room, geeky teacher with sweat-stained armpits on stage stuttering into a microphone ... I see it plainly. The things teenagers are expected to put up with!

8:55 am

begrery

sa7/28 - put sa in front of your ro5/10
sc7/44 - had to use a2z to get this one. doesnt give definition, start on the right side of the grid and end up on the left bottom.
sc7/36- noun meaning the crisp rustle of silc or similar fabric

Scraw is the old country word for sods of earth, especially those sods which were traditionally placed atop house timbers under the layers of thatch for additional waterproofing and insulation.

gaelic for scraw is in there, but casted is unacceptable... go figure.

OK guys... I think we need to throw out that H in the bottom right hand corner so we can have carpools... what do ya say????

12:26 pm

ToeSockMonkey

*gets gitty* We should write an email to the babble people. The forces above....

12:27 pm

joelgee

actually, mamabear, I do believe we'd have carpoos

12:27 pm

Tban7898

that would eliminate alot of words how about a tile that changes from h to l every few minutes or something

12:27 pm

torgone

But then we wouldn't have Winnie and family..

12:28 pm

joelgee

oooh! A wildcard tile!! I like it!!

12:28 pm

ScoutsMom

Carpoos sounds like what Scout does on long trips.

12:28 pm

mamabear

I stand corrected -- we need to replace the H with an L. how ya doin joelgee?

12:28 pm

Deutsch

Letters that change? that's just crazy talk! lol

12:29 pm

Doll414

crazy talk here?? never

12:29 pm

12:29 pm

DirtBikeGirl

LOL Mamabear!

12:30 pm

joelgee

mamabear--
get over it.

12:33 pm

Tban7898

is it possible that we could also choose our own letters every once in a while...cause i'd much rather have another more useful letter instead of x...and how about the arrangement can we shake like boggle

12:34 pm

joelgee

all you have to do, tban, is pick up your computer and give it a couple shakes. That'll take care of it.

12:34 pm

ScoutsMom

Or shuffle...like a mis-deal.

12:34 pm

boatierra

I've managed to use the X four times within words. Anybody use it more than that?

12:35 pm

Tban7898

lol joel....with my luck it'll fall and all the letters will spill everywhere then what'll i do

12:35 pm

muchacha

i used 'x' in 5 words

12:36 pm

Tban7898

i'd say boat

12:36 pm

ok... but if I start shaking and the letters fall out, that's a bad sign right?

12:38 pm

boatierra

" Brandyjack has x used 15 times "

show off....;)

12:39 pm

mamabear

ok joelgee..... i'm better now.

12:39 pm

Tban7898

lol

12:39 pm

joelgee

if the letters fall out, you just put'em in your floppy drive. It's not used for much else these days.

12:39 pm

A floppy drive, I barely remember those! lol

12:39 pm

joelgee

Thank goodness, mamabear. I was getting the ice water ready.

12:42 pm

mab

ho6 is an x word building on ho4.

12:42 pm

Tban7898

12:42 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Question!
------------
the clue for ce 7/36 got me all confused. What does "favorite babble flatworm" mean?

12:42 pm

bbnaz

walnut when you separate something from another you de**** it

12:43 pm

Tban7898

oh nm those weren't bad at all

12:43 pm

walnutchen

bbnax: wow. can't believe I missed that one... my eyes must be going ....

12:43 pm

mab

oo4 is the most common of babble words by far. I see it at least 200 times every day.

12:44 pm

Tban7898

i missed it too walnut....after a while i think the lette just start to swim around like fish

12:44 pm

walnutchen

mab: That one is ho6/39 - I got that one. Didn't get the ho6/24 though.. unless thats an x word also?

12:44 pm

Deutsch

TSM, it's that ce word that crops up now and again. I only remember it's a flatwork. google should help you find it, I think.

12:45 pm

joelgee

tsm--
i think that word shows up freqently. refers to a flatworm. can't recall it either offhand, but I googled flatworm once and got it. I'll have to google again

12:45 pm

ToeSockMonkey

AGAIN! Why isn't DEXA a word? Did you know that dexa is a kind of scan.... it's also know as a bone density test.

12:45 pm

Tban7898

maybe babble doesn't know about it yet TSM

12:45 pm

CadFan

yes, but Dexa is an acronym...

12:45 pm

ToeSockMonkey

deu and joel....thank you beyond words

12:46 pm

mab

Sorry, I don't have the other ho6 yet.

12:46 pm

ToeSockMonkey

that is correct but.... :P lol

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

CadFan

Oh I'm with you ToeSockMonkey!

1:06 pm

Dachef

the famous ps word is back. The one that holds the record for being the most obscure ord ever in a babble grid.

LOL tor :)

1:21 pm

Niamh

Miyavi_fan, I feeling kinda spunky today... my energy is returning!! (getting over a flu) thank you for asking.

1:22 pm

torgone

Don't know if the phrase translates, but when the things on the sides of your head, used for hearing, ea4/4 in today's puzzle, are burning, it's because someone is talking about you.

1:22 pm

Miyavi_fan

I think it was your icon that did it :D

1:23 pm

*gives Torgone a look* I mean, I mean, were people talking about me?

could be, I may just start singing and dancing any minute now! :~)

Go ahead, I did my fair share of singing and dancing today. Also got more than my fair share of weird looks...

interesting picture, but i gotta ask - is he (?) looking for a zit?

1:26 pm

cybernan

Does anyone have a clue for the de7?

1:27 pm

Schroeder

Cybernan - this is from earlier today
de7/36 the populace, or de(guy with the 10 commandments)

1:27 pm

Niamh

I love getting weird looks, I usually just smile and wave! what's lot of fun is when I'm in traffic and singing to my radio and people look at me funny, I look straight at them and sing louder, like I'm singing to them! it's great!

1:27 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Smaller :) Yes, he is a man...my beloved Miyavi :D And looking for a zit...er...I don't know. Probably. Just saying to the camera's "It's right there, can you see it?!" before a live

1:28 pm

Miyavi_fan

Niamh, I look at you and see an uncanny image of myself in the future :)

1:28 pm

cybernan

Terrific clue, Schroeder - thanks

1:29 pm

Schroeder

Can't take credit for it, but it worked for me also..

1:30 pm

Niamh

I think that's wonderful Myiavi_fan, there really should be more people not afraid of what others think!

1:30 pm

Miyavi_fan

Agreed! Though when I was in the shops listening to music, I started singing along without realizing it...I only got the message when a group of Japanese boys started laughing at me

1:32 pm

Niamh

they only laugh because they are afraid, sing to them! they will probably run away quickly, or start singing too!!

1:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

I don't think they were afraid, I think they were just genuinely amused. Especially since I was actually singing a Japanese song. The song including lots of "yeah!" "let's go!" and "One two SAN HAI!"

1:35 pm

smartalic

And Why isn't Oprah a word?

1:35 pm

cybernan

How about ch6/24, please?

1:35 pm

Niamh

very cool, I don't know any Japanese songs, but I know some German ones! I really like to sing weird folk songs and children's tunes that most people find amusing.

1:36 pm

cybernan

Have you finished Niamh? Mamabear?

1:36 pm

mamabear

Oprah isn't a word for the same reason Texaco isn't I would imagine......
hi cybernan!!!!!

1:36 pm

Niamh - German children's songs???/ I am mostly German - ever hear of the Schnitzelbach????

1:38 pm

mamabear

ch 6/24 - if you ch**** to find it, you will. it's up to you

1:38 pm

cindyhubbl

If Oprah is a word because its a proper noun then why is Te*** allowed I wonder

1:38 pm

Niamh

Schnitzelbach sounds familiar, but I'm not sure why...

1:38 pm

Miyavi_fan

The only German songs I know are by a scary metal band called Ramstein. Lots of, er...banging. And shouting.

1:38 pm

Minski

cybernan
CH6/24
It appears that the other posters ch6/24 not to help you find this word.

1:39 pm

Minski

present company excepted of course.....

1:39 pm

joelgee

te*** is a word for a steamboat pilothouse. If you click the question mark next to the word, you're linked to a definition (usually)

1:39 pm

Dachef

Miy - what about Kraftwerk? (really crappy German band from the eighties)

1:39 pm

Minski

also it's a 5/14 and a 6/24

1:40 pm

joelgee

I remember something about the autobahn.

1:40 pm

JeeWhiz

ch6/24 variation of ch5/14...looks like it is pluralized.

1:40 pm

I love Ramstein, I've sung thier songs karaoke!!

Miyavi_fan

Niamh, you're braver than me! The only foreign song I've ever done in karoake was in really bad english...one of the lines was "I believe was rocking my dream / shining what pop sun day"

1:45 pm

Niamh

the really great part was that I sung it tward the end of the night and everyone was too 'happy' to notice that I messed up!

1:45 pm

ToeSockMonkey
keep working on that clue. once you figure it out you will want the fish for not getting it sooner.
for the flower think of RO**bud lips.

1:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

Lucky you, some sadistic 'friends' of mine made me go first...still..."stay active and stay young, what self bades street?" It's hard not to love a song like that, sung complete with japanese accent of course :D

1:48 pm

Niamh

do you speak Japanese M_fan?
I only know how to say 'I love you' in Japanese...

1:49 pm

ToeSockMonkey

minski - thank you for the help... still stuck though. I have tried RO_ _ everything :) Perhaps I need to look at the puzzle up side down

1:49 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Niam how do you say it?

1:50 pm

kimb

TSM start with ro 4 -flower for valentines day and go from there

1:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

I speak...a bit of Japanese. I'm better at reading and writing it than I am at speaking though, which isn't great for when I'm singing. Though thanks to Dir en Grey, I'm learning some really weird japanese that I probably won't need to use again...definitely won't need to use again

1:50 pm

ToSoMo - ro4/4 (flower) + (had lunch)

1:51 pm

Niamh

I'm not sure I can type it...
I learned from a friend of mine many years ago and I don't even know where the words seperate... so I'll try to type it all together phonetically.. K?
onoto-O-Eshtay-emas
I tried sorry!

1:51 pm

ToeSockMonkey

I know! I got the RO _ _ but why isn't the ending working for me.... D'OH!

1:51 pm

Minski

for the flower go diagonally to the right and up

1:52 pm

ToeSockMonkey

MAN! You know what... I am the dumbest...
I had it this whole time and didn't see that th ered box was telling that I already had that word. Sorry all! :( But thank you for all the help!

Thanks everyone - went for a cup of much needed coffee. Obviously I can't read my own writing! - had that one it is the ch7 that I'm looking for.

1:59 pm

ToeSockMonkey

M_fan - Translation so we can tell our friends? ;)

1:59 pm

Miyavi_fan

Okay, I said: "Niam, I love you also. Would you like to come away with me tonight?"

2:00 pm

Minski

Sorry cybernan I don't ahve that one either

2:00 pm

Niamh

that's awesome! I would love too!!! :D

2:01 pm

ToeSockMonkey

M-Fan! Sweeeeet! I am going to use that tonight if it's ok with you? :)
I am impressed! It's hard to keep up with speaking more then one language!

2:02 pm

Tban7898

ahh thanks schroeder but i still don't get it...i'll think on it a little bit though

2:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

Niam, buttondemas. Sumisasen.
TSM, of course I don't mind! I didn't invent the language!

2:10 pm

Miyavi_fan

And TSM...if it works, next comes: "kekkon shimasen ka"

2:20 pm

CATHB

Hi Dachef...chillier but at least its dry...plenty of fireworks tonight (there is a match in cardiff tomorrow so the local rugby club is having an early bonfire night)

2:20 pm

Niamh

ok, Miyavi_fan... I've tried online translators and they are as confused as I am...

2:20 pm

CATHB

Hi myavi i'm ok...havent heard from you for a while are you ok

2:20 pm

Dachef

sorry, stillcrazy, but your McDonalds clue posted about six times on my log, then it vanished altogether, then two came back, and now just one. Hmmmmm. Either my computer's playing silly b*ggers, or that mushroom pizza I had for lunch wasn't made with proper mushrooms...

2:21 pm

Miyavi_fan

riiiight...that'll be because online translators only seem to translate the actual characters, rather than romanizations. I found that out the hard way trying to translate a song. All I got was "Hey bunny! Say what?"

2:21 pm

stillcrazy

wow good I was really wondering there what I did wrong.

2:21 pm

cybernan

Thanks Schroeder - I've been all around the choral words, but the greek is eluding me.

2:22 pm

Dachef

sorry!

2:22 pm

stillcrazy

apology accepted and thanks for the explanation.

2:23 pm

Miyavi_fan

Dachef, could be the effects of my ~magic~ powder

Dachef

ahh yes, the virtual white stuff....

2:24 pm

jennabelle

does anyone know the point total for the se6 meaning to look for? thanks in advance.

2:25 pm

Schroeder

cybernan - you got the first 5 letters but you are going to end at the bottom left corner

2:25 pm

Miyavi_fan

Though after a couple of sniffs, it's not just white...

2:25 pm

Dachef

jennabelle - 24

golly, what's with this aa? it's not aardvark...can i have a clue, please?

2:27 pm

jennabelle

thanks...for some reason it didn't register a total for that word so now won't calculate my score... just says "NaN"...

2:27 pm

Dachef

hurshy - comon phrase when playing babble: "aa5/16, why isnt that a bl**dy word?"

2:27 pm

cybernan

Thanks Schroeder -- that was a weird one!

2:28 pm

hurshy

dachef - is that a clue, or just an observation?

2:29 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Dachef, I will love you forever :)

2:29 pm

yw cybernan, took me a while so I can relate

2:29 pm

2:32 pm

hurshy

ah, i got it.

2:33 pm

mamabear

jennabelle - hit "refresh" - it should recalculate then

2:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah, don't you find it's really hard to concentrate when there's a song in your head?

2:34 pm

mamabear

oops. gotta go..... will sneak in later.....

2:34 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Well, I only have 90 words and I have almost all the 7 letter words done now :) Still far from done but feel good lol

2:34 pm

Niamh

I usually have a song in my head, today it's a song about faries!

2:34 pm

bbnaz

okay back and ready to find more words.........

2:34 pm

hi bbnaz

2:35 pm

Miyavi_fan

Niam, sing with me! "Shiny what pop sun day, be awake greeness RUN away..."

2:36 pm

bbnaz

hello Cath.........the name of the church in Mumbles was Paraclete and Old St Mary's in Swansea.........

2:36 pm

Niamh

*what pop sun day*....lalalaaa

2:37 pm

CATHB

cant think where Paraclete is in Mumbles..I will ring snowy..know St marys in swansea very well..I work very near in the tower block behind the old castle

2:38 pm

Miyavi_fan

*has big cheesy grin plastered on face* "I believe what you say sun days, I'll be wiz WOAH...her face was shiny wiz 'appy, I'll be wiz WOAH...I would like to be a rocker, I'll be wiz WOAH...be away rocking in sun days..."

2:38 pm

cybernan

ra6/24, please?

2:39 pm

Niamh

*I'll be wiz WOAH*... hmmm hmmm lalalaa

2:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Okay...sorry to interrupt all decent conversation (and your lovely singing, Niam) but why isn't 'poos' a word?

2:40 pm

dangus

don't mean to be a dolt, but what is 6/24 mean?

2:40 pm

hurshy

ce5? doesn't seem to be related to ce4...

2:40 pm

hurshy

dangus, it's the number of letters followed by the point total of the word.

2:41 pm

2:44 pm

CATHB

bbnaz - just google for the paraclete church and i think i have an idea now where it is

2:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

...it's just not fair, Niam. I know poos may not be everyone's favourite subject, but they do not deserve to be ignored! LET YOUR POOS SPEAK OUT ABOUT THEIR OPPRESSION! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR POOS!

2:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

oooh...thanks Cybernan ^_^

2:45 pm

hurshy

hello, happy. the way you are asking, it's a little hard for us to figure out which words you need. you should tell us the length and the point total, rather than "5x2" which just means you need two sa words of 5 letters.

2:45 pm

Niamh

rotfl!! poos speaking out! that's a lovely visual!

2:46 pm

bbnaz

itty bitty church on an itty bitty road on the side of a hill looking back towards Swansea...........

2:46 pm

hurshy

miyavi - i think it may just be that the plural of poo is poo, like the plural of sheep is sheep. so maybe poo isn't oppressed after all.

2:47 pm

Miyavi_fan

oooh...bad images now. like the posters outside our school's languages block...they were talking about a trip to germany, and advertising this little chocolate shop there. They animated a face, arms and legs onto a chocolate, but really it just looked like a walking, talking poo

2:47 pm

bbnaz

or maybe it is just poo poo?

2:47 pm

cybernan

Help, please - still looking for my last r: ra 6/24

2:47 pm

CATHB

bbnaz - was it near a public park/playground

2:48 pm

Miyavi_fan

hmm, Hurshy, you may be right. But, say you were really desperate, you wouldn't say "I think I need several poo", would you? Confusing...

2:48 pm

Dachef

walking talking poo? Hello Mr Hankey!

2:48 pm

hurshy

no, you'd say, "i need some poo!" like "i need some money!" because it's a collective noun.

2:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

psst...how long has Dachef had an imaginary friend?

2:50 pm

Niamh

Miyavi_fan, it's from South Park (cartoon) they have a walking talking poo!

2:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

But say you were talking about your bathroom, er, habits, you wouldn't say "I go for many poo"

2:50 pm

bbnaz

Cath, if you walked up the road to the top of the hill, there was open space....was it a park? I don't recall, just that it was lovely! There was also a cemetary down the hill that was surreal and beautiful too......

2:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

riiiight...hey, I get the feeling that would make a good pet. A walking talking poo. Unique, anyway

2:51 pm

hurshy

oh, great. i got ce5, and i had been hoping ce7 was just past tense of it. but that won't work. so, any clues for ce7?

2:51 pm

stillcrazy

I have finished finding all the words today a lot earlier than I did yesterday! I even had time to add a little blip to my profile. Good luck e1...I'm off to do great things!

2:51 pm

joelgee

cybernan--
my last ra too. Can't find an ra6/24 anywhere.

2:51 pm

hurshy

miyavi - no, again, you would just say something like, "i produce a lot of poo".

2:52 pm

Ouwachita

put a circular top on that ra6

2:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

See you Stillcrazy. And goodbye from my pet walking talking poo.

I'll call him Horace

2:52 pm

bbnaz

look beyond thunder****

2:52 pm

joelgee

Sigh. I can't afford real poo--just sham poo.

2:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

hm, you're right. Okay, I give in. But I don't have to be mature about it.

*throws temper tantrum*

2:53 pm

cybernan

Jogalee - frustrating isn't it? -- I've decided to quit monkey typing and take a lunch break -- maybe a fresh eye will help later.

2:53 pm

Miyavi_fan

Joelgee, borrow some of mine. Plenty to spare

2:53 pm

joelgee

got it. cybernan, you?

2:54 pm

hurshy

wait, is the thunder clue for the ra6 or my ce7?

2:54 pm

CATHB

bbnaz - i think I know where you were,if went up the hill (from mumbles) you would have passed the park on your left,the cemetary was a little further up on the right and you would have been heading towards Newton

2:54 pm

bbnaz

cybernan -- you mean thunder**** didn't help?

2:54 pm

joelgee

well, thank you, mf. Awfully decent, but then I'd have to feed it and all.

2:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

hm, you're right. And besides, I think they're getting rather attached to me. Bless, they know who their mummy is...

2:55 pm

bbnaz

that cemetary was spooky spectacular! trust me when i say that there is NOTHING like that where I live........

2:56 pm

joelgee

ah. poo mama-san

2:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

And on the subject of walking talking poos, I must leave you. Goodbye from me and Horace :)
And Hurshy...*blows raspberry and runs away*

2:56 pm

Jogalee -- No I haven't - the circular clue didn't do it for me!

2:56 pm

the thunder clue is for the RA6

3:11 pm

CATHB

hi snowy...are the little kids and big kid in bed

3:12 pm

bbnaz

a big wave to you snowy........but Paraklete was in Mumbles or Newton?

3:12 pm

joelgee

hj--
also a structure on a steamboat. Click the ? next to the words for definitions (usually)

3:12 pm

DarleenMB

harpjane, because it also means: A structure on a river steamboat containing the pilothouse and the officers' quarters

3:12 pm

hurshy

ok, i'll try to remain calm this time... ch7?

3:13 pm

joelgee

the one that I don't have, obviously.
Sorry for that. The one having to do with silky rustling or something like that.

3:13 pm

snowyowl

CATHB the littlies are and the big one should be!!! He's 58 going on 4 at the moment!!!! After nearly 29 years he's discovered talking and sulking! What a result!

3:13 pm

hurshy

apparently, joelgee needs the one that means the sound of fabric. (i'm nowhere near the s's yet)

3:13 pm

joelgee

snowy--
glad you fluttered by.

3:13 pm

harpjane

hm, which came first, the state or the steamboat?

3:14 pm

3:14 pm

bbnaz it is in Newton - its a chapel. Newton is a very short distance from Mumbles.

3:15 pm

joelgee

hj--
check the def. People decided to name these structures after states. Go figure.

3:16 pm

joelgee

Got it. Not the one I thought it was going to be. I like the word though. Kinda makes up for not allowing shoop.

3:16 pm

Hi Deutsch

3:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

riiight...only my maths teacher was mysteriously away today, so I just assumed :)

3:44 pm

Deutsch

Yes, I missed and thought about all of you. I called my mom from the laundrymat and talked about y'all to her. she's thinking of playing! lol

3:45 pm

Deutsch

Joelgee, and just who got after me earlier for being abrupt? Hmmmmm?

3:46 pm

Deutsch

spooky, indeed, Miyavi. Haven't see manskirt all day either!

3:46 pm

Niamh

I've gotten several people to play... not so many to join in on the chat though... wonder why?

3:46 pm

joelgee

I'm sorry, smeltz. That wasn't every polite.
Biteth me, s'il vous plait.

3:46 pm

smaller

mamabear,
they are getting along, that's how boys are and that's how they show deep affection
"bite me" is manspeak for "oh dear one of my brethren, that was quite humorous"

3:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

There's an amazing amount of teacher voices going on here, I'm starting to feel I didn't leave school today...*sobs* don't do this to me!

3:46 pm

3:46 pm

Smeltzdog

Deutch - stay away. he is a rabud beast and I don't want you to get hurt.

3:46 pm

3:48 pm

hurshy

hmm...how about ho6/24?

3:48 pm

bbnaz

otay....have all of the a words! on to the c words

3:48 pm

Miyavi_fan

Deutsch, probably at a conference. Judging by my maths teachers habits, it was either "how to ball your socks in one simple step!" or "scaring pupils - a teachers guide"

3:48 pm

hurshy

fish fish fish. but ho6/24 - i got it!

3:48 pm

Deutsch

Hurshy, ho 6 24 Yippee!

3:49 pm

joelgee

Nothing like a teacher voice to bring out my inner child. Wanna know how teachers liked my inner child? Hmmm?
Went back to High school to visit after graduating. Math teacher gave me the finger.

3:49 pm

Niamh

snowy... I think we've come up with our own language here in babbleonia!

3:50 pm

Deutsch

Miyavi, Manskirt when to "Where to buy clothes if you want to pretend it's still the 60s"

3:50 pm

joelgee

But now, I'm feeling bad, Smeltz. I just thought your jumpouta was funny. Can I come back in from the hallway now?

3:50 pm

snowyowl

Perhaps you got it wrong joelgee - he might have been picking his nose thats all!

3:50 pm

Smeltzdog

It was supposed to be french but I'm not sure what it means. It's about all I remember from high school french class

3:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

...men wore skirts in the 60's?

3:51 pm

Alden

stumped again. anyone have a clue for oa 5/10?

3:51 pm

joelgee

Yeah, snowy. That's it. He was picking his nose--about five inches away from his proboscis.

3:51 pm

CATHB

I went to make tea and seemed to have lost the plot since i came back...

3:51 pm

joelgee

Not all of us.

3:51 pm

joelgee

Although there was one party . . .

3:52 pm

Smeltzdog

isn't proboscis a type of ham? I had some on pizza a while back.

3:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

don't worry Cath. Soon I will start singing, people will be diving into the custard jacuzzi and it'll all be back to normal.

3:53 pm

snowyowl

Oh doesn't Babblonia sound nice? We could do package holidays! We could do tours - How does 'See the famous Hanging Gardens of Babblonia' sound? I am famous around here for my original ideas!

3:53 pm

Niamh

I just googled it and apparently proboscis is a type of monkey!

3:53 pm

joelgee

Smeltz! Only if it's the genoan article.

3:53 pm

Miyavi_fan

Snowy...okay, words fail

3:54 pm

Smeltzdog

Could we have a jaccuuzzee party without liquid please. my suit is silk and my buns get soggy

3:54 pm

CATHB

you could sing "by the rivers of Babblonia" on the way there

3:54 pm

Niamh

hey snowy... can we have special Babbleonia post cards too!! I can send them to my family when they miss me!!

3:54 pm

snowyowl

It was only a suggestion! LOL

3:54 pm

Meisa

Can have soggy buns now can we. It would kill the whole look. :)

3:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

and of course, there would be a visit to the Tower of Babble. I mean Babel.

3:55 pm

Deutsch

Miyavi, people wore lots of weird things back in the 60s

3:55 pm

The Happy 1

ta5/14 ?

3:55 pm

Meisa

We could fill it with those packing peanuts, soft yet completely dry. SOunds good to me.

3:55 pm

Schroeder

Back for more....
Smeltz- nothing worse than soggy droopy buns

3:56 pm

Smeltzdog

they would droop and ...well, I'll leave it at that

3:56 pm

snowyowl

Yeah like flared trousers and smocks!

3:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

It seems the singers I like are still carrying those fine traditions, Deutsch. My lovely Miyavi *points at icon* still wears skirts a lot...in fact, way too much.

3:56 pm

Deutsch

ta 5 13 plural of ta 4 6 if that's not it, I don't have it.

3:56 pm

snowyowl

We could picnic by a babbling brook

3:56 pm

joelgee

Per my OED, proboscis, 2nd usage, a person's nose. 1st usage: An elephant's trunk; the long flexible snout of other mammals, e.g. the tapir and proboscis monkey.

3:57 pm

Smeltzdog

I was thinking more of Fruity Pebbles or banana mocha mix

3:57 pm

Deutsch

And I did mean ta 5 14

3:57 pm

hurshy

smeltzdog - i think you were thinking of prosciutto, about the ham earlier.

3:57 pm

Smeltzdog

my bad - I was thinking of prochuitto

3:57 pm

Was any one talking to you, Joelgee?

3:58 pm

3:59 pm

snowyowl

Smeltzdog - I think the idea is that you don't wear clothes in the jacuzzi - In the old days ( a few weeks ago) You had to streak to the custard jacuzzi. those of us who are unpleasant to look at undressed (me) were allowed a piece of something gauzy and alluring. So have no fears for the suit - it will be forbidden!

3:59 pm

Miyavi_fan

There are many babbling idiots in babblonia, Tbug, is that not enough?

3:59 pm

Smeltzdog

I would appreciate if y'all waited for me to finish my own lines. the droopy buns and the prosciutto were both mine...MINE!!!

3:59 pm

hurshy

oa 5/10 - more than one shamoo? i think you're thinking of orca. oa 5/10 is pl of watering places in the desert.

3:59 pm

Tbug

we'd chew lots of babble gum !

3:59 pm

joelgee

You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? I don't see anyone else.

3:59 pm

oops. looked at the or 5/12.. my mistake

Smeltzdog

Tbug - it's Meisa's fault... she's been dirty, someone had to clean it...I thought to myself, "self, being the upstanding hotdog in a suit you are, why don't you clean things up." So I did.

4:10 pm

CrysAnnMarie this must be my 128th game ,only on 85 and lost but who cares..we dont always finish (or in my case never)

5:35 pm

Snowy & CathB: Have fun together, use some Babble words:))

5:35 pm

Queenruejean

Snowy, has he been checked for sleep apnea? Sounds a lot like my husband. He just got his CPAP machine. Really, really helps. High blood pressure & apnea can go hand in hand.

5:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Take care CathB!

5:37 pm

snowyowl

Sympathy reciprocated GreyWoulf! We're complete opposites in our natures - he's a tomorrow will do sort of man an I'm a the day before yesterday is not soon enough sort of woman. We've had an interesting 28 & 3/4 years! I wouldn't change him for anything really - well perhaps £50!

5:38 pm

Deutsch

50 to go, but *puts down grid, grabs hands of mama, hurshy, and cybernan* Let us dance the jig of happiness!

5:38 pm

hurshy

joylee - that 278 was in answer to your question

5:38 pm

GreyWoulf

278, JoyLee

LOTS of 4 and 5 letter, with out the list you should do pretty good

I have got 164 and haven't used the list yet -- just fellow babbler's clues

5:38 pm

mamabear

hurshy - don't be ridicyoulus!!!!!

5:40 pm

5:41 pm

snowyowl

Queenrue jean - It's something I've thought about - I'll have to see if he'll let me go in with him at his next hospital appt.

5:43 pm

GreyWoulf

snowy - I think QueenRue is right, it is definitely worth checking into --- you should insist on being present if at all possible

5:43 pm

Queenruejean

Worth checking out, Snowy. It can be scary. I would hear mine stop breathing & then gasp later. They ask a few questions & can get a good idea.

5:43 pm

snowyowl

hurshy to my eternal shame I hadn't got that one!

5:43 pm

hi cathy!
can anyone help me with the crisp rustle of silk? it's the sc 7/36... purty please

The "crisp rustle" sounds more like cleaning up after a dog, in my opinion, but you can google it.

7:42 pm

cathy22w

hey poo... we saw 70 degrees today... was it the same there?

7:42 pm

Schroeder

I am looking for that same one mamabear, my last 7

absolutely..... thankfully i have cats to keep me warm in the evenings! lol

7:49 pm

cathy22w

hi ohro

7:49 pm

mamabear

Vicuna - when I google it, it only gives me poems with the crisp rustle words in them. How do I find this word from google?

7:50 pm

mamabear

good evening ohro!

7:52 pm

ohromujici

Hey Mama. I was showing a friend your poem at work today. He loved it too.

7:53 pm

Vicuna

"crisp rustle of silk or a similar fabric" got it for me

7:53 pm

Poo's Mom

LOL Cathy... the cats here think they share the bed with me, not the other way 'round!

7:53 pm

mamabear

Really ohro???? That's awesome! Thanks for the compliment!!!

7:56 pm

ohromujici

Mama: yeah. There are a few closet poetry readers at work besides myself.

Hey: why isn't "fest" a word. I thought that was a real word.

7:58 pm

mamabear

I know - I asked the same question this morning - about fest.
I must not google right. I entered the "rustle of..." words in the google search but I don't see an sc word in there anywhere... I need to read Google for Dummies

7:59 pm

Schroeder

Mamabear when your done reading google for dummies can I borrow it, I'm lost also!!!

8:00 pm

Vicuna

Mambear, do you get something that looks like a dictionary definition? If so, in the top line (in blue) it has dictionary.com/ and then the word.

8:00 pm

cathy22w

lol poo... the same here! especially as the nights are getting colder - they have definitely taken up ownership of the bed!

8:00 pm

torgone

Mamabear - When someone gives you a phrase like that, put quotes around it when you enter it in Google. That will narrow the search to that exact phrase.

8:00 pm

Vicuna

Also, are you putting the whole phrase between quotation marks?

8:01 pm

torgone

Oh, and Hi guys. In to try and wreak whatever havoc I can tonight ..

8:02 pm

Schroeder

Ty all google pros, by george I think I got it!!! How about you Mamabear?

OK - didn't know the quotation mark trick. Thank you all!!! I have known all along i do something wrong in Google but didn't want to ask for fear of fish in face

Vicuna

Good work, Schroeder - that trick helps with many of the clues where someone gives a technical definition.

8:04 pm

ohromujici

Mamma: here is another site for you: http://www.onelook.com/

If you go to this site, you can paste in a definition of a word that you are looking for and it finds words that meet that definition.

8:04 pm

mamabear

hey torgone - since you put the fangs away and can no longer nibble, do you now tickle with that stach????

8:05 pm

mamabear

Well, I think my Google light bulb is now on thanks to everyone!!!

8:05 pm

mamabear

thanks ohro!!!

8:06 pm

harpjane

199 words. off to dinner. Don't know if I'll be back.
In some ways this puzzle is easier, even though it has lots of words. Who agrees?

8:08 pm

ohromujici

Harp: I agree. I have been thinking of words as fast as I can type them. It seems a lot better than last night.

8:09 pm

Schroeder

Have a nice dinner harpjane, and I do agree

8:09 pm

torgone

Yes, Mamabear - I still have a thing for necks ...

8:11 pm

mamabear

I agree too harpjane - this puzzle has been much more enjoyable to work on with its plethora of REAL words!!

8:14 pm

mab

Well one of those real words can't possibly be the mo6, or can it? May I have clue please?

8:14 pm

Vicuna

mo6 "Mariana in the Mo- Grange"

8:15 pm

atacrawl

Why isn't casted a word? Or fest?

8:16 pm

atacrawl

Nevermind, casted isn't a word.

8:16 pm

mab

I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. Mohave? Naaah.

8:17 pm

Vicuna

Maybe if we held Babblefest "they" would believe it's a word...

8:18 pm

Vicuna

okay, mab, a castle with a good defense might be mo- (quite simply, it's like a past tense of mo4)

8:18 pm

torgone

mo6 = having a mo4/5

8:19 pm

mab

Wow. I've reached a new peak of stupidity. An entirely new level. Thank you Vicuna, Torgone.

8:20 pm

ohromujici

When we have babblefest, I would like to nominate "pestoed" to be a word. I think that "pestoed" is the past tense of something that you do to a noodle.

8:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

Hi everybody !

8:20 pm

mamabear

mab - i couldn't get it either, but now did.... don't feel like you are alone!

8:24 pm

mamabear

ahhhh - we head "north" with that word instead of "south".... got it. thanks.

8:28 pm

mab

Torgone, no hint for te7? It seems to be the secret word of the day.

8:28 pm

mamabear

the secret word? Look out for the bird!

8:29 pm

torgone

It's been covered. Do you have the te5? Make it a plural. Don't think of it as a state, but just a thing.

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

the alst two sp words elude me - anyone have a clue to share?

8:31 pm

torgone

If you say the secret word, the duck will come down and poop on your head.

8:32 pm

mamabear

exactly... that's why I said "look out for the bird".... sorry no as far as the sp's yet.

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

Schroeder - we shall race towards the finish together

8:45 pm

Vicuna

Oh, thanks so much! Coincidentally, one can also cook fish that way, I believe, the better to then get whacked with!

8:45 pm

GreyWoulf

How have you been, Owl? I've missed you the past coupla days

8:46 pm

ohromujici

That sounds like a nice way to spend a day.

8:47 pm

I will rectify that tomorrow

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear that, Owl. Hopefully just busy, and not anything worse?

8:49 pm

ohromujici

Yeah, I ate lunch outside with some friends. It was a beautiful day. It was about 70 degrees at lunchtime in NY. I assume PA was about the same.

8:49 pm

Schroeder

GW that would be fun, I'm sure we would work well together, but I have to leave to teach a class soon...:(

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:52 pm

Schroeder

I'm jealous of all of your good weather, we had rain and low 60's. No snow yet, but I'm sure it will be soon....

8:52 pm

mamabear

Well in THAT case....

8:53 pm

GreyWoulf

And MAMA, you are the one who helped me get to miss by one when I had 40 words missing with less than an hour to go the other night
(others contributed as well, but you were the key)
