1:06 am

Tuva

Have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage?

1:06 am

GreyWoulf

I have!

Ramen,

1:27 am

mab

Don't care to have your ears googled, Griff?

1:27 am

What you do in the privacy of your ear is your business. Just wash your hands before returning to work.

5:44 am

zubie

Do you need a clue for it, davetins?

5:44 am

davetins

That would be helpful TY

5:46 am

zubie

One would say it of teeth which need a dentist's attention urgently, davetins.

5:50 am

brandyjack

Stats list finally posted at Babblers Anonymous.

5:51 am

zubie

Do you need another clue for that?

5:54 am

6/24
4/5
4/5

davetins - imagine teeth which aren't very healthy and need fillings. How would you describe them?

By the way, I got the ca's I was missing. Done now. :D

5:58 am

davetins

TY Zubie

6:01 am

zubie

You're welcome, davetins. I'll be here for a while if anyone needs clues.

6:03 am

Poo's Mom

congratulations zubie!

6:04 am

zubie

Thanks, Poo's Mum! The missing ca's were easy ones, wouldn't you know it! :)

6:05 am

zubie

Ooops. I mean, Poo's Mom. Sorry about the spelling earlier.

6:05 am

Poo's Mom

LOL that's how it always seems to me!

6:05 am

Poo's Mom

that's fine zubie. mum works just as well!

6:11 am

zubie

And I have to wait 17 hours before I can babble again? Not fair! :) Addicted to this!

6:12 am

Poo's Mom

LOL Zubie... seems a common affliction here...

6:13 am

Poo's Mom

On the plus side I have 17 hours yet to finish!

6:14 am

zubie

That too, Poo's Mom! :) Do you need clues for anything?

6:15 am

Eva

are there 3 ca6/24's?

6:15 am

Poo's Mom

Thanks, but not now Zubie. What I should be doing is getting ready for work....and a thunderstorm seems to be getting serious here....so I'll be back later. Happy babbling everyone!

6:16 am

amandacath

I think there's 4 ca6/24s, Eva

I could use a clue for the second ca6-7 pair...?

6:17 am

Eva

I'm not sure about the order of things. Do you have the crabs and the undoing?

6:18 am

amandacath

got those - the pair (if it is a pair) come after the crab and before worry

6:20 am

Eva

Just looked it up again and there are indeed 4 ca6/24's (sigh) and 2 ca7's

I don't have the worrying one...

6:21 am

amandacath

the worry one is the first ca4/5

6:23 am

Eva

Right - so the 3 I have are the crab, the tooth decay and the undoing. Time to go hunting I guess.

6:23 am

amandacath

me too - and I can't find the last one for the life of me!

6:25 am

Eva

Does anyone have a hint for that elusive ca6/24?

6:26 am

zubie

Clue for the second ca 6-7 pair: The first part is a vehicle and the second part is a shortened battery.

6:28 am

zubie

I was talking about one word. Sorry about the haziness of the clue!

6:32 am

wordly wise

ca 6/24 dispose of a motor maybe

6:33 am

amandacath

Understood the clue, zubie, but I still don't get it - first part is ok (unless you travel in small metal containers), but I can't get the second part to fit. Either on the g4/7 or to Brandyjack's list ...

6:35 am

zubie

amanda - vehicle plus your ce 4/5 without the last letter of that

6:39 am

amandacath

Okay, got it - thanks zubie. Very illuminating!

Anybody got a fish yet?

6:41 am

mickie

Morning everyone!

6:47 am

zubie

7:17 am

davetins

sorry Zubie, I'll do better next time!!!

7:18 am

doraphilia

if something is a di8, it is shameful, humiliating. and it builds on a g5/16 that is also a woman's name.

7:19 am

zubie

You had better, davetins! [sternly] ;D

8:30 am

hurshy

8:30 am

Jen

renee, I'm not focusing either! I gave up on practically all the ca6/7s cause I just wasn't seein' them!

8:31 am

joelgee

ar5/16: fight with someone verbally

8:31 am

hurshy

got 5/14

8:31 am

hurshy

got 5/16 too
i'm telling you, they should call this pulling a hurshy

8:32 am

joelgee

Okay, hursh. We will.

8:32 am

hurshy

thanks anyway joelgee. i had overlooked that third letter possibility, is all. once i saw it, i was ok.

8:33 am

hurshy

mustn't babble anymore now anyway - class to teach - see you later joel

8:33 am

joelgee

okay. whenever someone misses a 3rd letter possibility, we'll call it pulling a hurshy. Sheesh!

8:34 am

joelgee

should start work too.
Later, Hursh.

8:46 am

sprite

Hi there, all of you. Home from work and ready for a nice word hunt.

8:53 am

mtnjock

has anyone noticed that it has been a very dark puzzle just about every day this week?

8:54 am

sprite

Yes, I did, and wondered about it too. Strange, isn't it, how often words repeat for days in a row, and then disappear for weeks on end?

8:56 am

mtnjock

very much so strange, it is the first word I saw today (just getting in to work and finished the pre-stuff)

8:58 am

sprite

I always wonder about those things. I was also puzzled by one of the grids of last week, the one with all the sound words. Onopatopes (or how do you call them) and words related to making sounds and such, about 10 or more in one grid. And none of those in other grids.

8:59 am

Bugzy

Morning all... I got a good dose of nostalgia from this puzzle today -- it contains the first and last names of my high school boyfriend!! :)

8:59 am

sprite

How sweet, Bugzy!

9:00 am

Babbler

onomatopoeia.......... (I don't know the plural for it)

9:00 am

Bugzy

Unfortunately, both proper names so neither are valid words!

9:00 am

sprite

My bet is it takes an -e for plural, lol. Wouldn't that be a great word to find in a grid?

9:01 am

ScoutsMom

onomatopoeiae is the plural.

9:02 am

sprite

Hm, speaking of grids... sorry!

9:02 am

Bugzy

on13/ ??? That would be a good one.
Love the new picture of Scout! Too cute :)

9:03 am

mtnjock

scouts, isn't there at least 2 i's on the end of that?

9:05 am

mtnjock

is that a pic of scout???? for some reason I can't see it clearly...

9:07 am

sprite

Bugzy, I found a proper name C4 that is valid... perhaps you should try your boyfriend's name as well ;)

9:07 am

mtnjock

bad musician reference.... rico.... suave....

9:10 am

Bugzy

Found that one too, Sprite...I tried both his names -- neither worked, although there is a cr4/5 that sounds like his first name :)
Thanks, mtn - now I will have that @$%^ song in my head all morning!!

9:10 am

cybernan

Good morning everyone - only here for an hour as today is the beginning of our chocothon (5 friends come over and we make our Christmas chocolates).

9:11 am

*grabs a plane to cybernan at once!*

9:11 am

ScoutsMom

mtn, she's running with balloons.

9:11 am

Bugzy

Mmmm.... chocothon.... Bring us some when you're done Cybernan :)

9:12 am

gramma

Cybernan, you're killing me. You don't have your shopping done already, do you?

9:12 am

mtnjock

Sprite, if you don't mind the asking, what titles have your published (I read an extensive amount of fantasy)? And, how cool are you for being a mom, part time worker and an author? WOW!

9:13 am

Jera

Okay, this ca6 & 7 is killing me... could I have a clue, please, maybe a third letter, perhaps? TIA!

9:13 am

CadFan

The ca 6 is a dread disease, depending on where it strikes, not quite so dread in some places

9:14 am

gramma

Jera, it's an auto + battery

9:15 am

Jera

Oh, sorry... I have (the first) one... it's the other ca6's I need... 2 more? Yikes. I'll be happy with a 7 clue... don't want to be a bother...

9:16 am

sprite

mtnjock: only two, and only in Holland. Translation is too expensive, they say, to run the risk. First book was titled 'Jirelle'. And cool??? Try overworked, lol. But thanks :D

9:16 am

Jera

*makes mental note to get Halloween pictures developed before Christmas*

9:17 am

hi. workbreak. momentary pop-in to say hi.

Cybernan, I like your icon... is it to honor the Veterans?

9:17 am

sprite

Hi!

9:17 am

Jen

Okay, got the 2 ca6's that there were clues for (auto+battery and disease)... but what's the other? C'mon help the b-day girl out! :)

9:18 am

mtnjock

no, way cool! I have only done the story boards for one comic book mini series here in the US and it took forever to work out... my co-writer did every thing important... and that was years, years ago... my imput was the plot and time lines... What is Jirelle about?

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

Jen: take ca word for toted - subtract an R

9:19 am

Jera

*stares blankly at gramma*

Battery? I'm getting a headache... sorry...

9:20 am

joelgee

jera--
forget battery. think portable phone in pocket. Drop last consonant.

9:20 am

mtnjock

Jera, carry on, carry over, carry (past tense, minus r)

9:20 am

Jera

Good grief, how many ca6's are there??? I have that one, too, Temple...

9:21 am

sprite

mtnjock: http://www.jirelle.nl/en/fanta sy-woman.php
(but then without the spaces), if you like to take a look.

9:21 am

Jera

Thanks, joelgee... finally got it...

9:22 am

mtnjock

how many would you like Jera?

9:22 am

renee.fuzz

i need two more ca 6's. have the auto+battery and the disease one...

9:22 am

Jera

Just one more, please... I have 3 ca6/24's...

9:23 am

sprite

I know one word for car battery, 'accu', and now I am getting insane trying to make those two Cs meet!

9:24 am

Jera

I don't know if it's an American thing, but I would have never gotten that hint from battery. Portable phone worked for me...

9:25 am

Jen

Finally! Done with the dreaded Ca's!! Now I can move on with life, such as it is!

9:25 am

Jera

Oh criminy, I just checked, they are all ca6/24...

9:26 am

Jera

Yay for Jen!! Did you enjoy your Starbucks Monday? Sorry I missed you...

9:27 am

Jera

I have the disease, the auto+battery, & past tense of tote... can someone help me with the other ca6/24?

9:27 am

Jen

Wasn't too bad Jera. We'll try it again some other time. Are you and the kids feeling better?

9:27 am

sprite

Jera, I could kiss you! Mobile phone worked for me too!

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

i'm with you, jera...missing ca7 & ca6 that are numbers 2 and 3 on the ca list...

p.s. happy birthday!

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry - happy birthday to JEN!!!

9:29 am

Jera

I'm out of bed & Babbling, so that's progress... Sprite went to school, although she was moving slow... who knows with Gwyd, he just runs full speed til he drops. He did sleep until 9:30 this morning...

9:30 am

Jera

Only 54 days til my birthday!!

9:30 am

sprite

Jen, it's your birthday? Congratulations!

9:30 am

Jen

Thanks everyone!!
Jera, that's how Ethan is too. Go go go... i couldn't get him down to sleep until like 10 last night!

9:30 am

mtnjock

Jera, I wrote a check, and now I don't want it cashed, so I will ca6/24 it! (usually on your computer to save, or ca6/24)

9:30 am

Jera

Sprite, we better not... Joelgee might get jealous... but I'm glad my getting his clue worked for ya!

9:31 am

mtnjock

happy birthday Jen!!!!!

9:32 am

mtnjock

still lost on the mobile phone tho... ;)

9:33 am

sprite

mtnjock: mobile phone or word for what they put you in in prison, with one letter less.

9:33 am

Jen

Instead of mobile phones and batteries... think of a spread sheet. You have columns and rows and each little block is called a ...

9:34 am

mtnjock

ahhhh then thats the one I thought Jera needed....

9:34 am

Jera

I still need that last ca6/24... or did I miss a clue??

9:35 am

renee.fuzz

i need a last c6 too...

9:35 am

renee.fuzz

Just saw your clue, mtnjock... noodling in progress...

9:36 am

I got the same ones as you have, also still missing the 4th :(

9:37 am

Bugzy

Got the first ca6... when there aren't enough people watching a TV show, the network ca6s it...

9:37 am

Jera

How the heck do you end it, mtnjock? ed, es, & et won't work!

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i am missing the 2nd and third ca words - ca7 and ca6 - and jera is missing the same ca 6 - we got all of the ones that were clued thanks : )

9:38 am

Jen

Best clue I saw for the ca6 that gave me heartburn was think "toted" and take out one of the r's... no def, but it sounds like something to do with bad teeth.

9:39 am

renee.fuzz

i have the ca6 bugzy was hinting at, the auto+battery one, and the toted minus an r one. so which am i missing? *confused*

9:40 am

sprite

Darn, found them. Can't believe I found the automobile + battery one and did not see this one.
Think of making an appointment and finding out you can't make it... then you Ca6 it.

9:40 am

Jera

THAT'S IT!!!! tyvm, Bugzy!!

9:40 am

Jen

renee, do you have the really bad disease? The "big C"?

9:41 am

renee.fuzz

disease? what disease?

Joelgee, I am right with you.

Well, how about this? I have a personal relationship with God.

11:02 am

oh, and my ex, who's a hairstylist, goes to Al Gore's house on a regular basis to cut and style his hair--apparently Al sleeps thru the whole thing!

Uneaixoise...it's me and you girl......Hi Sprite

11:05 am

But writing is FUN, Joelgee! :)
I love every minute of it. Well... almost every minute. But I must admit I write on the 'puter directly, not by hand. I would hate to retype it.

11:06 am

Hey everyone :)

11:06 am

Jera

I have 3 books in the works, I am writing & my daughter is illustarting... whatta team!

11:06 am

sprite

Jera, I don't think you can write if you don't love language. It certainly is related. And making a story or novel into a complete piece of work is a puzzle in itself :)

11:07 am

Jera

Greeting, MF! How are you today?

11:07 am

Dishes are done. Dog needs walk before my honey comes home for lunch. Any quick clues, I could give?

Whiplash and baaad headache from drumming, but otherwise okay...how are you?

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

test

11:07 am

joelgee

I find when I retype, it's almost like doing a 2nd draft. I add, broaden, etc. Depends on what I'm doing. Sometimes, I find the tactile pen on paper feel helps. Also, I can access the creative back brain while doodling or such.
Phrases come to mind or character descriptions. Depends on how much I'm channelling (if you know what I mean).
I try not to think about selling or publishing, just writing a story that I'd like to read.

11:08 am

sprite

Now I want to make channel.

11:08 am

Jera

Getting over strep throat... can't imagine drumming, LOL! Fever gave me a hangover-like headache & I was dehydrated... well enough to Babble now, though, so yea!

11:08 am

joelgee

hey, mf

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

thank goodness ! ...was unable to speak for ever so long...scary!

11:08 am

joelgee

Anyway, sprite. I'm just saying . . .

11:09 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Joel, how are you?
Jera, did you consider the hangover-like headache may have been a real hangover? Specially after a night on babble...

11:09 am

mtnjock

hey Une, what are you doing Saturday?

11:10 am

joelgee

Well, I don't have a bad headache and whiplash.

11:10 am

sprite

I truly believe that is the only way, Joelgee. Just write what one wants to write, that makes the best stories. I reread my own work a thousand times and make changes, usually removing parts, and I love the way text editors facilitate that process.

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

hi miyavi! : )

11:10 am

gramma

OK I get it. You're too busy chatting. I'll check in later.

11:10 am

A good start, I guess

Hey Temple! Good day?

11:11 am

I can't write directly on the computer either joel...for me writing need to be organic and pen and paper is the only way..Leapt out of bed at 2am the other night,couldn't sleep with ideas in my head until i had commited them to paper...It's gr8,cheap therapy

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

great day...you?

Stats, with or without feathers.

1:41 pm

Don't know Haz, I just noticed Anj shot up the rankings even though he wasn't playing so I sent him an email asking if the rankings were random cos they seem barmy, if you don't play you win!

Such a quaint word, ri6.

In the US they used to make kids take home economics classes to teach us to be good little housewives. Was this the practice elsewhere in the world? I wonder...

2:43 pm

3:46 pm

Sanky

hello all...thank you for saying hi. appreciate it!! I have been babbleing for 3 weeks now, and I just can't seem to break the 'ice'. So Hi everyone. Maybe today will be it!

3:47 pm

lola100

Woo! Well done still :)

3:47 pm

hurshy

babbler - lol!

3:47 pm

Tuva

Hushy,

Given the temporal nature of all things, if you were to be a member of said "group" then would it matter anyway? So, better not to bother yourself with such trivialities whilst this fleeting form you doth possess.

3:47 pm

Babbler

is that good ??? is it a good sign?

3:48 pm

hurshy

i'd say it's a very good sign.

3:48 pm

hurshy

tuva so wise.

3:48 pm

Tuva

means we will have smart kids

3:49 pm

Babbler

yeah, cos I'm smart too, innit? : D

3:49 pm

joelgee

Yes, but what if the temporal nature of things is but an illusion?
Show me time.
Besides, isn't this something for temporal owl to discuss?

3:49 pm

lola100

*whispers* So we won't tell hurshy about the in crowd then tuva??

3:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok truth - all who were geeky in high school raise your hands LOL * hand up*

3:49 pm

hurshy

sanky, as i said to faeriekae a few days ago, you just have to make yourself annoying like me, and eventually people will talk to you.

3:49 pm

Sanky

smaller - making people laugh, just happens to be my specialty!!! (lol)

3:49 pm

hurshy

hand up, lol at lola, and ROTFL at joelgee.

3:49 pm

Sanky

Annoying - yeah, I can do that!!!

3:50 pm

3:51 pm

Tuva

Dammit... I am trying to fight with the board.... I tried to convince it that a CARRICH is what they used with horses to haul people around in the old days it aint buyin'....

3:51 pm

3:52 pm

hurshy

you know, sanky, and anyone else who's interested, i was just telling my husband last night that the great thing about chat is that one voice doesn't drown out others - we can always go back and read the posts and catch up, so there's no reason anybody need be forced out of the conversation.

3:52 pm

Babbler

oooooooooh, verrrry good, joelgee!

3:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:09 pm

groovygranny

rofl Oh Owl that makes sense .. I had to go check on dinner I forgot all about it !!! rice is supposed to be crunchy right? adds flavor and texture

4:09 pm

snowyowl

I am surrounded by doll,cars,blocks and mini cookers and washing machines and toy telephones that ring everytime you move something. It's like being locked in Toys R Us - this room is only 9ft'6in by 6ft for goodness sake! With me ,the chair &the computer desk I am beginning to hyperventilate with claustrophobia!

4:09 pm

walnutchen

hi all. anyone has the 3rd ca6/24 on the list?

Jera

I prefer vanilla ice cream on pumpkin pie. Sweet potato pie is even better!

4:16 pm

joelgee

Yes, but only fresh. No canned or jarred rats. Actually prefer rat-on-a-stick. It's an acquired taste.

4:17 pm

hurshy

it r-o-a-s deep fried? can eat almost anything deep fried

4:17 pm

Queenruejean

Joelgee, if you freeze the rat, you can use it's tail as a stick. Yummy treat in the hot summertime.

4:18 pm

Marolan

Hi All, how man words today?

4:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:18 pm

Uneaixoise

4:20 pm

hurshy

sadly, have never had one in philly. had them in college dining hall, were pretty good in my opinion (nice and greasy), but of course, since i haven't had the "real thing" i can't say how they compared.

4:20 pm

snowyowl

4:21 pm

hurshy

lol at snowy. if it is, there are very different meanings in different countries

4:21 pm

joelgee

What? There are people here looking for words?

4:22 pm

Jera

What did I miss (I was shopping for green nail polish)?

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

* sticks tongue out at joelgee*

4:23 pm

hurshy

na 5/14 joke: so, this guy wins a giant cheese wheel in a contest, and he's rolling it home, and then he loses it and it starts rolling down the hill. this other guy catches it and brings it in his house, and tells his wife to get out the tortilla chips. she says, why? and he says, well, this guy was yelling to me, "that's na5 cheese, that's na5 cheese!"

4:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

may i help anyone with a clue or two? we are chatting up a storm...

4:23 pm

joelgee

In some cultures, temple, that has great significance.

4:24 pm

snowyowl

4:24 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Mmmmm! Took a trip to the East coast a month ago and had my FIRST authentic Philly Cheesesteak. YUMMY!!

4:28 pm

DirtBikeGirl

I got it Hurshy! Except yours is a better version than the one I heard. My jokes always turn out lame... I tried one yesterday and poor Smaller thought I was upset... My delivery usually sucks. Either that or I can't stop laughing long enough to tell the joke, LOL!

4:28 pm

Jera

*laughs hysterically at hurshey's joke*

4:28 pm

7:09 pm

Babbler

thank you kataroo!!! you're a star! :)

7:10 pm

Babbler

ah, I'm in the UK. Channel 4 is one of our terrestrial channels....

7:10 pm

kataroo

any time!

7:10 pm

kataroo

as opposed to extraterrestrial? I'm confused

7:10 pm

Babbler

as opposed to digital, cable or satellite!!

7:11 pm

kataroo

oooooohh...got it now. network. the only channel my roomies and i had for a month and a half was the UPN

7:12 pm

Babbler

In the UK, we have 5 channels available to all, BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. If we want more channels, we have to go cable/satellite/digital..... (and pay for the privilege)

7:12 pm

pbr

any clues for qu7?

7:12 pm

Babbler

do you call it network?? I always wondered what that meant! :)

7:13 pm

kataroo

qu7: ask a question, such as a database search

7:13 pm

Poo's Mom

oh... terrestrial/network doesn't work out here

7:13 pm

kataroo

but past tense

7:13 pm

efor1124

qu7 = asked

7:13 pm

kataroo

we have cable now...if we didn't have mtv i don't know what we'd do

7:14 pm

Poo's Mom

efor is that a cat eating pumpkin pie? (excuse my old eyes)

7:14 pm

Babbler

analogue tv is doomed out here. The Government want us all to be digital by, I don't know, 2012 or something. Or sooner.

7:15 pm

kataroo

our cable is digital...it screws up on occasion, but it is nice to have the handy guide thing on the screen at whim

7:15 pm

efor1124

can someone give me hints??
di4/5=not the need
di5/12
di8/60

7:15 pm

pbr

efor - thanks --funny how you can keep looking and keep looking phew on to the O's

7:16 pm

efor1124

yes, poo's mom, the cat is eating pumpkin pie. :o)
it's a real cat modified w/ a digital camera.

7:16 pm

Babbler

digital does seem to be more user-friendly, but I'm such a raging snob, I love the idea that analogue captures every last detail, every nuance. It might be a clunky old dinosaur, but I'm not giving up on it. I want an old fashioned record player, and a proper SLR camera!! :)

7:16 pm

kataroo

di 4/5, change the last letter of the need
di 5/12 make it plural
di 8/60 got blood on your face, big di******

7:17 pm

Poo's Mom

efor - too funny! i had a cat who did eat pumpkin pie....didn't earn either one of us any points with the MIL!

7:17 pm

efor1124

ty kataroo... now they seem so obvious! :o)

7:18 pm

7:20 pm

Babbler

7:21 pm

pbr

that would be the letter O not the number 0

7:21 pm

efor1124

not actually a need, but usually precedes it.. i knew what i meant... i think... i am going crosseyed at this point. don't mind me.

7:21 pm

Poo's Mom

lianakate

8:36 pm

torgone

Yeah, we can't have that.

8:36 pm

EasternBlue

Artlady - I take that a wonderful compliment from you...we have some leaves left - but after today's dreary rain & high winds...most are on the ground...

8:37 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - thnx (another reason to go pro...you can add a pix & change with the seasons!)

8:37 pm

Tuva

8:39 pm

Charm

Evening, all. Quiet night?

8:39 pm

artlady

Thanks, Eastern. Babbler, you can help Dr. God pay his rent....

8:41 pm

Babbler

Tuva, it's like the or6 flowers, but change the ending to sound like a kiss....

8:41 pm

Charm

We were in awe of Dr_God????
OR6/24 - same as or6/27 (exotic flower) but with different final consonant.

8:41 pm

efor1124

Yet another one I had that you didn't, sweetheart!!!
I'm not gonna say it......... I'm not gonna say it.......
LOL!

8:42 pm

efor1124

artlady

Gloating, Babbler??

*pats Peri's shoulders*

8:44 pm

EasternBlue

efor... "o" - it's close!!

8:44 pm

Charm

na5/12 - the drug cop with a vowel at the end (sounds latino).

8:44 pm

efor1124

i have that one already, too. sorry!! :o( this letter is driving me nuts!

8:45 pm

Babbler

no artlady, someone said earlier on today that if I had words that Tuva didn't, then you could say we complete one another.......... *collapses in giggles again* : D

8:46 pm

EasternBlue

BABBLER!

*hee hee hee hee hee hee*

8:46 pm

Charm

There's another na5/12, no def. First 3 letters of the drug cop + 2 letters to make it sound like an adj.

8:47 pm

artlady

Ohhh, that is SO sweet! (gag gag)

BTW, all done... ;-)

8:47 pm

EasternBlue

3 cheers for artlady

Hip Hip

8:50 pm

EasternBlue

Tor - always willing to share
(*passes brown paper bag*)

8:50 pm

artlady

Thank you all so kindly. I like these shorter ones--I actually have time to do them (with LOTS of help, of course). Someday I'll learn to do them "cold."

8:51 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - is the Mum a clue that you're European??

8:51 pm

artlady

Last night we were sharing wine and martinis. Tonight...vomit. How the mighty have fallen...

8:52 pm

EasternBlue

artlady - residuals of the wine & martinis : )

8:52 pm

Babbler

yes, EB, London UK....

8:52 pm

artlady

Eeeuuuuuu!

8:52 pm

Babbler

it's 2.52 am....

TUVA! you changed your icon!! what's all this about fire?

8:53 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - and yet your love is in Dallas...
I guess love knows no bounds

8:54 pm

Babbler

Dallas, Texas......... and all I know about Dallas is JR Ewing, Joan Collins, the voice of Charlie's Angels who was also in Dallas, Charlene the poison dwarf, Bobby who came back to life in the shower, the gorgeous wife of his, what's her name.... Sue Ellen and her crazy animated face.....

8:55 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - I never watched the show...
I do know a song...from some Broadway show (just can't remember which one)...

8:56 pm

artlady

Yes, Babbler...and Dallas is in _Texas_, which is the home of... (painful sigh)

8:57 pm

EasternBlue

artlady - you ok?

8:58 pm

artlady

gasp...shudder....

8:58 pm

Babbler

*glass of water and an aspirin for artlady*

8:59 pm

EasternBlue

artlady??

9:00 pm

artlady

I need a stiff drink.

9:00 pm

Tuva

Just good advice.... do not set yourself on fire....

9:01 pm

artlady

Sorry, every once in a while reality intrudes the safe haven of Babble.

Tuva, nice one!

9:01 pm

EasternBlue

Tuva - just makes you extra hot!
(sorry Babbler...)

9:01 pm

Babbler

ch5/14 x 2? I've got the singers......

9:02 pm

periwinkle

Marigold, are you playing? Have you checked out the new rankings. We are both on all three lists.

9:02 pm

Tuva

artlady, I realize that you need a stiff one, but my heart belongs to Babbler

9:02 pm

Babbler

eeeuuuuuw, EB!!! Even I wouldn't go there!! lol!!!

9:02 pm

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

Babbler

Tuva, you meant a stiff drink, didn't you??????

9:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Heya artlady, Blue, and charm...

9:04 pm

Babbler

blimey, artlady, I see I'm gonna have to keep him in line!

9:04 pm

artlady

Peri, so am I. That makes us all Hot Cream Elders....

9:04 pm

Charm

Hi, GW! Baby safely off to the land of nod?

9:05 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler - see what happens in a long distance relationship??
men!

9:05 pm

artlady

Babbler, slap him! Want a fish?

9:05 pm

EasternBlue

Woulfie...good & you??

9:05 pm

periwinkle

Hi, GW, I am fine but tired. Need to get some sleep but will play a little longer.

9:06 pm

EasternBlue

ooo...Anj made me an "fish" earlier...
I even put one in the log!!

9:06 pm

Babbler

Hi GreyWoulf. Just read your biog. Would you be extremely envious if I told you I went to Stonehenge and Tintagel Castle last year??

9:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Yes she is, Charm :) she only let me read her one of her bedtime stories tonight... she read the other three to me :D

9:06 pm

periwinkle

But I am NOT addicted to this game, no way, no how.

9:06 pm

artlady

Sure, Peri. I have some swamp land for you, too.

9:06 pm

mab

Clues for Si 5 and 6? Please?

9:07 pm

EasternBlue

Peri - what's sleep??
(said with toothpicks propping eyelids up)

9:07 pm

Charm

GW - my 3yo sang "Owl & Pussycat" (his latest favorite) to me about a dozen times before NOT taking a nap. I'm in love!

9:07 pm

Tuva

Babbler....

Uh... sure... whatever you need to believe, honey

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi peri, no argument here... you are absolutely not an addict... I'll swear to it in a court of law if yo need me to ;)

9:07 pm

Babbler

:'(

9:08 pm

artlady

Mab, one who edges along a cliff and the edging act itself. (that's the 6 then the 5)

9:08 pm

Charm

si5 & 6 - kind of ease your way up next to someone or something, up to the bar or to your secret crush.

9:08 pm

artlady

Need a tissue, babs?

9:08 pm

Babbler

no............. *sniff* :.(

9:09 pm

Tuva

14 words left...ugh!

9:09 pm

artlady

Charm, it's interesting the totally different angle we took on the same clue...

9:09 pm

EasternBlue

*pat*pat*

There, there Babs...

9:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Blue, I'm doing alright... could use more time to play BAbble and more pay for less work though :)

9:09 pm

artlady

Go, Tuva, go!

9:10 pm

artlady

I hear you, Grey!

9:10 pm

PowerPlant

I attend my first funeral tonight, and realized that I don't have close relationships with anybody. I think I have a fear of intimacy, and I have these false relationships with friends and family that I can easily brush aside. I'm not sure if anybody knows me, and it scare me to think that although I'm constantly surrounded by people I could die alone, babbling.

9:10 pm

EasternBlue

Woulfie...I hear ya...I'm hoping to win the Mega Millions...

9:10 pm

Charm

artlady - that's why language is never static, but constantly in a state of flux!

9:10 pm

EasternBlue

I now have less than my age to finish!!

9:10 pm

scootermom

anyone got a clue for the na 5/12?

9:10 pm

Babbler

thanks, EB. :'(
may I borrow your shoulder for a second?
*sobs into it*

9:10 pm

artlady

75, EB??

9:10 pm

mab

Thanks Artlady.

I don't see this relationship going anywhere, but remember Babbler and Tuva, love means never having to say you're sorry (theme song from Love Story plays in background)

9:11 pm

EasternBlue

Babbler -(hands over hankie) - *blow*

9:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Babbler, not envious... much. More interested in why you chose to go -- tourist site seeing or more spiritual?

9:11 pm

artlady

*gag*

9:11 pm

Tuva

I thought love meant never having to bury a body alone...

9:11 pm

artlady

love means never having to do dishes again...

9:12 pm

artlady

or dig ditches...

9:12 pm

mab

I got that wrong. Love means having constantly to say you're sorry.

9:12 pm

EasternBlue

*overcome with tears*
Artlady...no...
much younger... : (

9:12 pm

Babbler

Powerplant, that's a major lesson you've just learnt. When I realised that, I decided to only spend time with people who matter to me and I love. The rest, I deleted from my email/phone and I don't return their calls either. They are too demanding and take my attention away from those I really want to be with. It's ruthless, but I don't care, it's what I want to do.

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

lol, mab

9:13 pm

artlady

mab, or waiting (hopelessly) for someone else to say it...

9:13 pm

scootermom

anyone - na 5/12??

9:13 pm

Babbler

grey woulf - bit of both..... :)

9:13 pm

artlady

JK, EB. I was just yanking your chain...or rattling your tree...

9:13 pm

Charm

There are several na5/12's. Do you have any?

9:14 pm

Tuva

I wrote a song for you, Babbler...

*sings softly along with the guitar....

9:14 pm

torgone

Love means . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . .
. .

9:14 pm

Babbler

I'm all ears, my darling!! :)

9:14 pm

EasternBlue

Powerplant...it is hard to go to a funeral, but perhaps it can be a chance to rethink what you want...those that truly love you will understand if you've been out of touch for awhile - the good thing is that you have a chance to get in touch with them now...

9:14 pm

scootermom

I have the mexican drug cop

9:15 pm

Charm

na5/12 - mother of pearl.

9:15 pm

EasternBlue

artlady - I'm all better now...just needed a good cry!

9:15 pm

artlady

I agree, EB. Powerplant, don't wait to make connections with the people who matter to you.

9:16 pm

Charm

na5/12 - first 3 letters of the drug cop + 2 letters to make it sound like an adj. (no proper def.)

9:16 pm

torgone

scootermom - See if he still has my car.

9:16 pm

Babbler

I had a bereavement in the family not too long ago, and it has totally changed my outlook on everything. I am told the first 12 months are the worst, and it never really gets any easier.

9:16 pm

PowerPlant

I agree Babbler, and that's what I've slowly done with my life. The hard part is opening up myself to someone, I'm very understanding and a great listener, I just don't talk much anymore.

9:16 pm

GreyWoulf

PowerPlant, the key thing is to accept your epiphany as a positive opportunity. You have already made a big step towards changing yourself by acknowledging your isolation. The next big (and scary) step is to actually work on changing that.

9:17 pm

periwinkle

Marigold, I am here. Have you checked out the new rankings.

9:17 pm

Babbler

Powerplant, you have Babbleverse and us to lean on any time you like. We're here 24/7. The rest will follow in time, by itself. Don't worry about it. Follow your heart.

9:18 pm

sassielass

how many today?

9:18 pm

PowerPlant

I'm on the board everyday, I respect what each of you have to say. It was a big step for me to post. Thank you for acknowledging me.

9:18 pm

EasternBlue

Powerplant - sometimes opening up to 'strangers' (or people that are just strange) can be an easier transition to then carry that into the 'real' world...

9:19 pm

EasternBlue

sassielass - 155

9:19 pm

Babbler

you did better than me, Powerplant. When I had my bereavement, I was on Babble, but I didn't breathe a word. Fear, all the rest. You did good.

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

PowerPlant - I am similar to you in that I also am great at listening to others and getting them to talk to me about their probs, but when it comes to talking about my own issues, I have trouble...

9:20 pm

mab

Powerplant: What you're talkig about here takes a lifetime to work on. We all must. You are not alone in your feelings, and you mustn't isolate yourself.

9:20 pm

EasternBlue

sassie - oops...153

9:20 pm

sassielass

Thanks--I am new enough that if I get a quarter of the words, I am happy! I'm at 52 now, and I will definitely stop in the next few minutes because I am really tired.

9:21 pm

artlady

Power Plant, it's a great group. Funny, but with golden hearts.

9:21 pm

Babbler

well said Mab, it is a lifetime's work.

9:22 pm

artlady

You go, sassie!

9:22 pm

EasternBlue

here here mab! well said...
...and artlady too...

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

PowerPlant - these are some of the grreatest personalities that I have evver met, here in Babbleonia. On behalf of the rest, I thank you for choosing to share with us :)

9:23 pm

EasternBlue

sas - let us know if we can help (I'm not done but I'm gettin' close!)

9:23 pm

periwinkle

Goodnight all

9:23 pm

scootermom

I got mother of pearl. But I'm stumped on the 1st 3 letters of cop + 2 ltrs to make it sound like an adj. I've tried everything!

9:23 pm

Charm

nite, periwinkle....

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite Peri! Sleep Well!

9:24 pm

EasternBlue

nite Peri...

9:24 pm

artlady

'Night, Peri.
Scooter, which one do you need?

9:24 pm

Babbler

grey woulf - I agree, some of the greatest personalities I have ever met (and I don't just mean my Tuva!!)

9:24 pm

sassielass

Thanks for the offer...I've already peaked back at some of today's chatter to see if it helped, and it definitely did!

9:24 pm

Babbler

goodnight Peri luv!

9:25 pm

Charm

scootermom- 1st 3 letters of the cop + **e cubes (minus the final 'e').

9:26 pm

PowerPlant

There is definitely an interesting group of people on babble, with some of the great senses of humor, and humor is what make my life!

9:26 pm

scootermom

Charm -- thank you!!!

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

PP, without humor, life is meaningless

9:27 pm

Charm

are you finished, scootermom?

9:27 pm

artlady

It's been lovely listening to the chat, but the end of the day is near...buona notte!

9:27 pm

EasternBlue

...and Babblechat would be non-existent!

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

G'nite artlady, sweet dreams

9:28 pm

EasternBlue

'night artlady...
may pictures paint your dreams...

9:28 pm

GreyWoulf

9:42 pm

Babbler

make sure you take it easy till you're 100%, Torgone. Flu is a very nasty thing. It's not like a cold where you can just get back on your feet whenever. You take extra care, yeah?

9:42 pm

DirtBikeGirl

How very rude of me! Anyone need any hints before I'm off?

9:42 pm

Babbler

goodnight DBG! goodnight scooterman!

9:43 pm

Babbler

ch4/6, DBG?

9:44 pm

torgone

Thanx, Babbler. I'll try. I'm not built to lay about in bed all day, though. I tried today, and had to be doing something. Granted, it was mostly Babbling.

9:44 pm

Babbler

found it......... :)

9:45 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Babbler, Well here's what the Dictionary says "The 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet". But think of a name that can either be a male or female name and remove the 3rd letter.

9:46 pm

Babbler

Babbling is ok. Don't do much else till you're better. The times I've had major flu's, it took months, and even then I wasnt' 100%, but I let work be a priority. Then I burnt out.

9:46 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Oops, I was too slow

9:47 pm

Babbler

no worries, DBG, I can't say I'm really trying with the game today!! Too busy chatting with my buddies!! :)

9:48 pm

DirtBikeGirl

That was me earlier today. Have you read the log? I don't think many of us got much done with all the bovine and veggie jokes flying around.

9:49 pm

Babbler

I must confess, I haven't read today's log either...... I was out for yet another eye test today, after which I couldn't see cos of the drops they put in my eyes......

Q7---aksed

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

Smeltz - it could be worse -- waaay back when I was a Cub Scout, my pack went to a roller rink and one of the den mothers stepped out on the rink floor, lost her balance, and landed wrong, thus breaking her leg.
My father who had been about to go out on the floor himself, turned around and returned his rented skates. Thankfully he didn't make me do the same.

10:19 pm

Smeltzdog

when I was a wee little scout...I peed on an electric fence.

10:19 pm

lshult
