12:03 am

EasternBlue

hi cybernan

12:04 am

sprite

At least no surprise here that I can't make purify... nothing much pure about me ;)

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

Hi sprite, stillcrazy, and c-nan

Wow - how teeny it is today!!

12:05 am

stillcrazy

Hi there Grey Woulf! Good to see you!

12:05 am

sprite

It will not take my teeny word :(
Hi Woulf, good to see you again :)

12:05 am

EasternBlue

I was hoping for a big 'un since it's a holiday...I'd have the whole day w/ no work...
I guess that'll leave more time for chatting!

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

Always a pleasure, sprite :)

sophia - you still here?

12:06 am

sprite

Well Eastern... it might, but sometimes the small ones are the hardest :)

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

Blue - those of us attached to retail still have to work tomorrow, so try not to enjoy too much, OK?

12:07 am

EasternBlue

that is true...I may have hit my limit already w/o looking at Brandyjack's list... : ) [it could also be the late hour...]

12:08 am

EasternBlue

Woulfie - I'll be thinking of you...any consolation that I do have a little work to do?

12:08 am

GreyWoulf

stillcrazy - I see you updated your bio -- congrats on the grandkids

12:08 am

sprite

So close to hubris... wouldn't that have been a nice, sophisticated word!

12:08 am

cybernan

Only 54 words - how disappointing!

12:09 am

EasternBlue

sprite - that was like "plasma" yesterday - so close and yet so far

12:09 am

jenwould

Good evening Babblers!

12:10 am

sophia

woulf: i'm still here

12:10 am

GreyWoulf

Blue - it's a small consolation -- truth is I personally would have had the day off as well, except I volunteered to help another Lenscrafter's that is short staffed this week ;)

12:10 am

sprite

Ah, it is of your own free will! Woulf, love, you will enjoy it :)

12:11 am

EasternBlue

Woulfie - that cuz you're such a nice guy : )

12:14 am

GreyWoulf

12:14 am

12:16 am

sprite

A6/30: what a NICE find!

12:16 am

Griffums

That's what I thought, sprite, fluffing up my locks

12:16 am

sophia

eastern: yea, it gets quite addictive! which reminds me i have to take off and start preparing for a date! LOL

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

I thought so, but wanted to be certain -- I am very pleased to make your aquantaince

12:17 am

EasternBlue

12:17 am

sprite

Worth the whole puzzle, Griffs :)

12:17 am

torgone

Wow! You have a date? Lucky!

12:17 am

EasternBlue

bye all...

12:17 am

Chessy

greetings everyone :)

sprite, congratulations on being 'cream of the crop' !

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite Blue! Enjoy and we'll see you later :)

12:18 am

sprite

Bye! See and we'll enjoy you later!

12:18 am

sophia

woulf: same here! *grins*
tor: you are referring to me, right? LOL

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

sophia - go then, and have fun! We'll keep the grid warm for you ;)

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

sprite, just saw your post after mine (LOL)

12:21 am

sophia

woulf: thanks! i'll try. first dates always scare me! LOL

12:21 am

sprite

A4/6: strange word that is. In Holland it is the name of the things you can sit and hide in while waiting on the bus. The ones with ads.

12:22 am

Griffums

in Alaska it's a word you stumble on in the grid

12:23 am

sprite

LOL Griffs!

12:24 am

Griffums

The be's are just Stupidhead(tm) words, right? Nothing I'll feel embarrassed about not seeing?

12:25 am

sprite

Two Bs have a french ending, the rest is pretty common. You could start with a nice beer, big zip, relax... "B"... pardon!

12:26 am

Griffums

But here's something to be embarrassed about... I only just now realized that my word pane has an autocompleter on it, so whenever I start to type I see the list of everything I've ever tried... I think I have to burn my computer.

12:27 am

Griffums

Hmmm, small earthquake here just now. I think I have displeased the babble gods.

12:28 am

sprite

Griffs, now I know you are using Firefox :)
I have the same thing, but I am pretty sure it can be put off somewhere. Don't feel like looking though right now, I am almost done :P

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

how small is small?

12:28 am

sprite

I think it was nothing more than Griffs' healthy B4/8.

12:29 am

CrysAnnMarie

they're not accepting a completely valid naughty / icky word. :(

12:29 am

Griffums

Very small, just enough to make the monitor bounce a teeeeeny bit and my cell phone shiver a little on the desk. Could know from the tsunami website in a moment but it was so small I'm uninterested in checking.

12:29 am

Griffums

No, I'm not using Firefox though I suppose as a good canid I should. Just using IE. Not because I love it or anything.

12:30 am

GreyWoulf

Then you couldn't have angered the babble gods that much -- maybe you only gave them indigestion :D

12:30 am

sprite

Too bad, Crys... we really must educate Babble!

12:32 am

sprite

In IE I am SURE it can be rid of. I am going to make breakfast for the kids and see them off to school, then check back later. Bye guys and enjoy the hunt!
54 words / 4.41 / 562 points, must be a record.

12:32 am

Griffums

Urrrrrrrrgh Congratulations I GUESS. ;D

12:32 am

Chessy

bye sprite, well done, enjoy your day :)

12:32 am

GreyWoulf

Have a great day, sprite! (*hugs*)

12:34 am

CrysAnnMarie

. . . and it begins. . . anyone have au6?

12:34 am

Griffums

Crys, my hair is au 6/30. I buy it in a bottle.

12:35 am

stillcrazy

a hair color

12:35 am

CrysAnnMarie

great! i should've seen that. thanks!

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

Well , it's time for me to go to bed as well! See you folks around Babbleonia :)

(*hugs for whoever wants one*)

TTFN

12:37 am

Griffums

12:46 am

Griffums

12:49 am

LeslieAnn

crys, think a big strong guy (spelled wrong)

12:50 am

CrysAnnMarie

br5? is anyone still here?

12:50 am

CrysAnnMarie

thanks!

12:53 am

CrysAnnMarie

k. . . the bu6's, and then i'll be quiet for a while

12:56 am

sprite

One Bu6 sounds like a little flying creature. The other you can work on.

12:57 am

sprite

Br5 sounds like a very unkind person, but it means 'to spread news of'.

12:58 am

CrysAnnMarie

i have the br's- just not the bu's

12:58 am

CrysAnnMarie

(thanks!)

1:00 am

Anyone who wants a clue before I split?
Busy day today, so I can't hang around too long :(

1:08 am

lottijw

You too, see ya later :o)

1:16 am

sprite

GreyWoulf, sorry I missed your goodbye hug! I'll leave one for you here to unwrap when you get back.
*big warm bearhug for Woulf*

1:19 am

cybernan

Hi Blaze - haven't seen you around for a while.

1:19 am

sprite

Hi there Blaze! Nice to see you again.
E6: sea channel characterized by turbulent and unpredictable currents.
Had me puzzled for a while. If it gives you trouble, try my part of the world and change some vowels.

1:20 am

cybernan

Sprite - before you leave could I have a clue for Eu6, please?

1:20 am

Blaze

I was away for a few days and then have been sporadic about being here..... I did enjoy last nights puzzle....

1:20 am

sprite

It's right there in my last post, Cybernan ;)
It is a plural, by the way. Sea channelS.

1:20 am

Charm

Nite folks. See y'all tomorrow....

1:21 am

sprite

Bye Charm!

1:21 am

lottijw

See ya Charm.
Bye everyone, must go......back later :)

1:22 am

cybernan

Saw it, Sprite - our messages crossed out there somewhere! -- still in the dark though.

1:23 am

CrysAnnMarie

continent- change last two vowels to another

1:23 am

sprite

I think you can get there by taking my part of the world, starting Eu. The other vowels must be changed.

1:23 am

Blaze

cybernan think the other continent where france and all are and change the vowels

1:23 am

Chessy

cybernan, eu is a bit like a continent ...

1:23 am

sprite

Well, don't we all agree on this one!

1:24 am

CrysAnnMarie

nice :)

1:24 am

jenwould

Hey Blaze great clue for the EU...thanks!

1:25 am

cybernan

Got it!! Thank you very much. Actually your clue regarding turbulent water made me think about a certain type of tide, which gave it to me.

1:26 am

sprite

*pouts: it was MY brilliant clue! I was first!*

1:27 am

cybernan

Well I wonder what we do with our free time tomorrow? I gather it's a statutory holiday in the states -- not so in Canada (we call it Rememberance Day).

1:28 am

Tbug

anyone have a clue for bu 6/30? have the one that sounds like winged animal

1:28 am

sprite

LOL cybernan... your tomorrow is my today and it is loaded with work, so I guess I'd better get to it. Kids are off to school, so no more excuses for delaying the inevitable. Have a great night/day/whatever, all of you.

1:28 am

corpsvalue

I am a military vet and I have to work tomorrow. : (

1:28 am

cybernan

I thought I said that, Sprite -- I do give you the credit!

1:28 am

sprite

Tbug: try 'agency' or something to work on.

1:28 am

cybernan

Bye Sprite - have a great day!

1:29 am

Chessy

Tbug, it's a writing desk ...

1:29 am

sprite

Pouting was for jenwould, lol. And I will wave the credits to Blaze, if only for being here when I am and letting me enjoy the company :)

1:30 am

Blaze

thank you.... I enjoy all your company.....

1:30 am

Babbler

I've finished......

what will I do with the rest of the day....?? :D

1:30 am

cybernan

bu's: Let's all sing what the b.... sing and change the first vowel

1:30 am

sprite

Babbler, you could help me over here!

1:31 am

Babbler

1:32 am

Tbug

1:32 am

sprite

Let's see... there is vacuuming to be done, shopping, some writing, packing for my trip, finding out how to sove this strange electrical problem in the house, a couching session to lead... take your pick :D

1:32 am

Babbler

awwwww, sprite, just read your biog. :D

1:33 am

sprite

*sove = solve

1:33 am

Blaze

the couching session is that the embroidery couching ??

1:33 am

Babbler

I *knew* it wouldn't be puzzle-related!! LOL!!
:D

1:34 am

sprite

OMG...
*couching = coaching*
This is baaaaaaad! Freudian slip?

1:34 am

Babbler

I read that as 'coaching'.....

1:34 am

Babbler

couching is soooooooo much better!!! lol!

1:34 am

sprite

LOL!
*bows head in shame and gets to work...*

1:35 am

1:37 am

Babbler

I'll second that Jen!

ttfn cybernan! :)

1:37 am

cybernan

No snow here - lots on the Coquihalla apparently -- snowline here is at about 1700' -- Kelowna is at 1100, so the mountaintops around us have a dusting of white.

1:38 am

Blaze

We are miserble and grey with rain... although we had a rainbow this morning in our front yard.... it was a great way to start the day....

1:39 am

Babbler

not a bad idea, Blaze! We can learn to let go,....... delegate, and r-e-l-a-a-a-a-x........ :)

1:39 am

cybernan

Our morning sunshine turned liquid by afternoon -- such a shame after the great start to the day!

1:39 am

Blaze

Babbler that is actually what my work shops sometimes are about...LOL

1:40 am

Tuva

Howdy all!

I am here... gonna get started!

1:40 am

cybernan

Hi Tuva -- really teeny today

1:40 am

Blaze

Tuva what is your icon ???

1:40 am

Tuva

Uh, ... men don't like to hear that...

1:41 am

Babbler

send your surplus people to me - I'll learn 'em a thing or two!! lol!!! (nah, actually I'm a bit of control-freak and prefer to do things myself. I MUST learn to let go....!)

1:41 am

Tuva

It is none other than the One True God

1:41 am

jenwould

Ok, today's was quick and painless now... what to do with the last 6 hours of my workday... perhaps start writing my Christmas cards?

1:41 am

Tuva

ooh... off to a good start.... got 15 words already

1:41 am

Babbler

Hi Tuva! Only a teeny weeny grid today. Probably won't take you long.

1:42 am

Blaze

You are singing to the choir Babbler.... how ever over the last ten years I can now let someone else do some things and really enjoy NOT doing it myself.....

1:42 am

CrysAnnMarie

hi, tuva!

1:42 am

Tuva

Hi Crys... did you learn about the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

1:43 am

cybernan

Jen - I'm not doing cards this year -- going to phone everybody as I figure I can talk for 10 minutes for the price of a stamp!

1:44 am

Babbler

I still struggle with that, Blaze. I've managed to let go as in not do stuff....... as in "does it really need ironing....errr.... no.... ok!" :D

1:44 am

CrysAnnMarie

no. . . sounds spooky yet yummy. . .

1:44 am

jenwould

Cyber,
Been neglecting everyone over last year and since our US post office LOVES to raise the cost of stamps ALL the time by pennies, I have 50 stamps to use prior to January. ALso since I bank online, have a plethera of stamps just waiting to be used.

1:46 am

Blaze

Jen you are a gem..... I agree with Cybernan though... I only have a few out of towners and the rest are near by.... will have them over for coffee or something... and call --- I was making cards for a long time... may do a few again.....hmmmm

1:47 am

sprite

LOL jen... I wasn't hurt, just fooling around with you guys. I am in a way too playful mood today. Now where did I hide my seriousness??
Okay, time to hit that red X and get away from the PC! Thanks for the game & company again, you are great people!

1:48 am

Babbler

ttfn sprite!

I'm signing out too. Adieu all! :D

1:48 am

1:49 am

jenwould

I am the out-of -towner, everyone I know and love lives on the East Coast, I'm in Chicago and a little homesick. Completely bored every evening working the noc shift, writing cards will help to pass the time. Also, I love getting cards, the snail mail way so I'll pass that love onto those I love. Dorky... yes I know

1:50 am

Babbler

5:04 am

Poo's Mom

congrats to renee and pinecone!

5:04 am

renee.fuzz

yea, i agree dianne. the old airport landings were niceeee. but the new airport looks much fresher.
of course, i'm too young to remember the old one well. xD

5:04 am

Dianne

Dr 5/16 - think of a Dr word that means sag and spell it another way.

5:06 am

Dianne

*dianne slinks off - feeling her age because she can remember the old airport very well*

5:07 am

tbear

As an ex trolley dolly..I used to love any airport with a short runway...pilots drop the aircraft on the runway...always good for a laff....NOT

5:07 am

micamonkey

renee .... i think ive been to the old one where u can actually see the cityscape from the airport <-- this was 10 years ago!
the new one... only think i remember i starbucks in the transit longue lol and being stuck there coz of a storm <-- this year!! :P

5:08 am

micamonkey

tbear: lol trolley dolly haha thats a spiffy name ;)

5:08 am

renee.fuzz

dianne - awww. it's cool that you remember the old airport!!! being 15, i can't really remember much of the old airport. i doubt i ever paid attention to it. all i remember was thinking that the luggage carousel looked really cool. xD

anyways. mom's calling for dinner now. so byebye everyone! happy babbling!

5:08 am

Eva

Good morning everyone. I'm missing 3 and need to finish quickly as I'm heading out early. Is there really a second bu6/30? I have the little flying one. The others I;m missing are fi4/7 and ti4/7. I have the ti indian tent, the fi4 for a company and the fi4 sounds like apples and pears minus a vowel. Any help?

5:09 am

Dianne

Eva - 2nd Bu6/30 - a chest of drawers.

5:09 am

Eva

Sorry - got mixed up. The other fi4 I have is the strangely spelled green plant.

5:10 am

renee.fuzz

only thing i vividly remember about the old airport is that it was a location for crossroads international, as i volunteered there quite a few times. andand that i once walked through the airport barefooted, because my godmother told me i could. :)

5:10 am

micamonkey

2 bu 6/30
bu 4/8 + 2 vowels
or meaning a chest of drawers

5:10 am

Anj

Hi Eva! :) it's either a cupboard or a different spelling of what golfers call one under par for a hole :)

5:10 am

micamonkey

theres no ti 4/7

5:11 am

Eva

Thanks guys!

5:11 am

Eva

Okay - rushing too much. ti4/4

5:12 am

Anj

Eva, do you have the fi4/7 for 'ow! hot!'

5:12 am

Karma

ti 4/4 your vehicle needs them to move

5:12 am

Anj

Eva, ti4/4 - car rubber round thingies

5:12 am

Poo's Mom

ti 4 there's 4 on your car eva

5:12 am

Dianne

ti4/4 - when you quit working for good you re+ti4/4.

5:13 am

Eva

Boy, do I feel stupid! (About the car parts)

5:14 am

Karma

pi 5/ 14
pi 4/ 5

5:15 am

Dianne

pi 4/5 - you park your boat there.

5:16 am

micamonkey

karma pi 4/5 is where the boat docks
pi 5/14 is pi4/6 + r OR an apparatus in the chem lab ... well or sounds like it anyway

5:16 am

Karma

was there two pr 4/5?

5:16 am

micamonkey

renee: u walked barefoot at the airport runway?! :o

5:17 am

micamonkey

karma: one PR 4 only

5:17 am

Eva

Anj, do you know how many times I tried to find it? The poltergiests must have moved it while I wasn't looking, because it's there now. The bad news, however, is that I seem to have screwed up my list, so I'm missing one more f and don't know which one. I have: the glass one, the misspelled green plant, the company and apples & pears. What amI missing?

5:17 am

Anj

Eva, it's never too early for the Obvious Fish :)

5:18 am

Eva

and of course the hot one.

5:18 am

Anj

Eva, Douglas pine trees?

Jera

No, my daughter, name of Sprite, is Padfoot here. Sprite the Babbler is an adult (I assume).

7:37 am

joelgee

padfoot. Is there a reason that should sound familiar--other than here?

7:37 am

Jera

Sorry I was so slow to answer, I was looking for words & thinking maybe I should go to the hint list... pretty stuck at half-way.

7:39 am

Jera

7:59 am

Faerie

7:59 am

Jera

I was disappointed, no perp (I love cop shows) or Peru...

7:59 am

lizmac

GREAT.........One to go!!!!

8:00 am

Jera

We just fell into a cat discussion somehow... oh yeah Joelgee started it then wandered off...

8:00 am

Faerie

gotta step out for a few mins. the Boss is calling me again (at work) must need his shoes polished or something stupid

8:01 am

Jera

He asked if Sprite the Babbler was my daughter Sprite. My daughter is Padfoot here... which sparked a cats vs. dogs discussion (I think cats won?).

8:01 am

Jen

Well all I have to say is I must love my animals very much... spent $527 yesterday at the vet for my dog!! All because he has a sensitive stomach!

8:01 am

lizmac

Last one, any clues for be/4 ?

8:01 am

Jera

Bye Faerie, nice chatting with you!

8:01 am

paperdoll

be4 - sweetheart

8:02 am

Jera

My cat Zack has FUS & has to eat special diet food & has had to have 2 $400.00 surgeries. Fortunately he's worth it!

8:03 am

Jen

Chester was going to the bathroom too much then not at all (if you get my drift)... they did a ga-zillion labs, x-rays, 2 antibiotics... oh and he needs his teeth cleaned to the tune of around $650!!

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

a friend of mine had a constipated iguana . . . after trying everything, they discovered that Ernie (actually a "she") was able to do his business after riding in the car . . . so they drove her around at all hours to help with her "blockage"!

8:06 am

Jera

Oh my. I've done that to get a kid to sleep... never to make a reptile poop, LOL!

8:06 am

lizmac

TaRaaaaaaah !!! First time I've finished a Babble.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

precisely!!

8:08 am

Jen

A constipated iguana... now that's a funny concept for a Friday morning! LOL
He could barely jump in the car yesterday, it was really pitiful.

8:08 am

Jera

My son & I are being bad... Girl Scout Cookies for breakfast!!

8:08 am

Jen

Jera, I made nachos for breakfast yesterday!

8:08 am

Jera

Confetti for lizmac! Huzzah!!

8:09 am

Jera

You're my kind of mom, Jen!

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

years ago I had a Korean coworker who brought in garlic zucchini bread for breakfast . . . to share . . .

8:10 am

Jera

Garlic for breakfast... don't think I could handle that.

Of course any job where you have to bring breakfast starts too early in my book...

8:11 am

Jen

I dunno, garlic sounds better than anything sweet to me. Breakfast is waaaay to early to start a sugar rush in my book.

8:12 am

Jera

Well, they are shortbread... I don't like too sweet for breakfast, either. Donut? Yuk. Anyway, the cookies wer my son's idea!

8:13 am

Alleyn

12 words left! What a hard grid.

8:14 am

ExWren

Am I the only one who is finding this grid harder than most big ones? I thought I would fly through it!

8:17 am

Jera

You are not the only one, ExWren... I was frightened when i saw how short this one was

8:21 am

joelgee

hi. had to leave momentarily. Done with grid. Don't know what to do with myself. Work, I guess. Anybody need anything?

8:21 am

Jera

17 to go & I'm bailing... gonna go check out BA hint list... I'll be back!

8:27 am

ExWren

The pr 4/6 escapes me for the moment?

8:30 am

jessmom

pr 4 pr** school or test pr**

8:33 am

ExWren

Thank you jessmom, I didn't see that one.
Now, if I can get the last three, I can do something else with my day for a change.
pi 4/6..pi5/14...pi 5/14 ????

8:33 am

Jera

Joelgee, how about help with the eu6...

8:34 am

Vicuna

pi 5 - time to pay the pi- (which also gives you a pi4)

8:34 am

Vicuna

The other pi5 is a little bird.

8:35 am

joelgee

eu6--
A sea channel characterized by turbulent and unpredictable currents.
Sounds like part of an ancient Greek playwright.

8:37 am

Jera

That was a lovely one, thanks you!

8:38 am

joelgee

thanks. can't take credit. I think sherb gave it to me earlier. Worked on first try.

8:39 am

Jera

How about the last be? I've got the fish ready...

8:40 am

ExWren

Thank you Vicuna, I hadn't even seen the 'p' in the bottom left corner! I'm usually quite intelligent!

8:41 am

ExWren

be, like the pe 4/6, different start letter

8:41 am

joelgee

the last be:
when they build a freeway, they build a be** as a sound barrier.

8:41 am

Vicuna

Missing a letter is no sign of lack of intelligence --- I hope! Or else I'm getting dumber by the minute!

8:42 am

Jera

Wow, learn something new every day here at Babble (even if you don't want to)!

8:43 am

Jera

At least I didn't need the fish... :>

8:43 am

joelgee

they don't have be4s in Va? In MI, you can't spit without hitting one.

8:43 am

joelgee

Not that I make a habit of be4-spitting.

8:45 am

joelgee

. . . or spitting in general

8:46 am

joelgee

I'm really thrown by being done this soon. Well, back to work.

8:50 am

Jera

Oh they have them, just didn't know what they were called... I call 'em sound barriers... I'm so boring...

8:52 am

Jera

May I have a clue for the dr4/8? Hopefully the next dr/5 is a plural or somehow related...

8:53 am

Queenruejean

Jera,
Dr4/8 To soundly defeat.
Love your icon.

8:54 am

Jera

Got it... is that a br4/6 word?? I did the math...

8:56 am

Jera

Rats, the dr5/16 doesn't seem to follow... help again?

8:57 am

Queenruejean

I made up the Dr5/16 & it took it!! Sounds like to sag, but spelt differently.

8:57 am

Jera

Never mind, got it...

8:58 am

Jera

Yup, that's the one... thanks anyway Queen!

8:59 am

Queenruejean

You're welcome. Don't you just love monkey typing?? :)

9:06 am

Jera

9:06 am

Jera

9:09 am

nukem95

9:12 am

Jera

9:12 am

Jera

RANKINGS UPDATE

Thanks to highlander I realized that there was a large bug in the calculation of the Village Elders ladder. It is now displaying the correct totals. All hail the new and rightful Village Elder - marigold. Sorry, sprite. Your reign was short but sweet.

9:32 am

Bobsta

ahhh x

9:33 am

Bubbles

i'm finding this one difficult, are you?

9:34 am

Bobsta

Dr-g, why are some of the names in the rankings highlighted and some not? :)

9:35 am

Dr_God

Bobsta-

The highlighted ones are the Pro players that have profiles. They're actually links (without the underlines.)

9:36 am

Bobsta

9:36 am

Bubbles

9:36 am

Bobsta

Bubbles

9:39 am

Bobsta

9:40 am

Dr_God

9:40 am

Bubbles

Good point, songbird -- it should be a word, shouldn't it!

10:44 am

Babbler

I just looked up the bu4/8 and the bu6 in my big, fat, huge Longman's dictionary, and they're not in there either!! Blimey!

10:45 am

scsongbird1

10:46 am

dangus

3:11 pm

snowyowl

Bugzy we had 5 in three 1/2 years! a set of twins (girls) who are 6 in Jan, they have a 3yr old sister & a 5yr old girl who has a 2 yr old brother - all gorgeous - but I'm biased!!

Only 3 tonight. I have them regularly overnight as mum sometimes works nights and dad (my son) is on the R.A.F and is home 6 days and away 6 days.
I haven't tried 5 overnight yet but often have 5 for breakfast - getting 5 to 3 different schools and nurseries can be interesting!

3:22 pm

Bugzy

Too cute! And what a good grandma you are!
I have 2 boys - soon to be 6 and just turned 2 - my mom is watching them tomorrow night... she doesn't watch them too often - once every month or two if we're lucky - she says they tire her out too much!!

3:54 pm

Dachef

after that pathetic match I think the welsh should hide away in a very dark room.........good evening dachef!

3:56 pm

ScoutsMom

pi5/14s: first one is the Pied Pi5/14 from the fairy tale
second is if you add pi- to what you find inside a peach.

3:56 pm

snowyowl

Miski - ' watch the BU***'

3:56 pm

Dachef

hi mum! How are you?

3:56 pm

Minski

3:58 pm

leen

3:58 pm

ScoutsMom

the eu is the name of a greek playwright, minus the "des" on the end.

3:59 pm

Minski

not getting the 2nd BU6
frustrated

3:59 pm

snowyowl

Hi leen - was it that bad then? Hubby watched it while I bathed the grandchildren so didn't see it.

4:00 pm

Dachef

why on earth would you finish with only 6 left to find?

4:01 pm

leen

snowyowl - just don't go outside waving the welsh flag for a while, it was soooooooo bad! (Even tho' we won - just!)

4:01 pm

snowyowl

Oh hi Cath! Thought I was getting tea too, but it's gone all quiet downstairs.

4:01 pm

snowyowl

Oh that bad!

4:02 pm

ScoutsMom

Minski: it goes "tweet! tweet!" it's just not spelled the same.

4:02 pm

Dachef

and the welsh take over the log! 'bout bloody time too. We struggle with the national sport. I think the new national sport of Wales should be Babble...

4:03 pm

snowyowl

Minski do you have the bu4 before it? Just add ie

4:03 pm

CadFan

Any help on the Tw available?

4:03 pm

CATHB

snowy..youknow how many times you have to tell him"

4:03 pm

minz

thanx scoutsmum :)

4:04 pm

CATHB

Cadfan...think idiot

4:04 pm

leen

oh dear - better not rely on me then - I have only ever finished one puzzle!

4:04 pm

ScoutsMom

cadfan, a bully would call a little skinny guy this word. or a big brother would use it in reference to his little brother.

4:04 pm

snowyowl

I'll second that Dachef! Mind you I'll need a lot more training before I make the team! We'd probably win if it was stag & hen nights! We do those very well!

4:05 pm

CadFan

ahh - got it... would never have thought to spell it that way....

4:05 pm

nava

I need help with br 5/16. I'm going crazy.

4:06 pm

Dachef

leen - concerted effort tonight then - you will definately finish this one! Copy the stats from babblers anonymous into natepad - and ask for any clues you need!

4:06 pm

ScoutsMom

y'all are making my day. i like feeling helpful.

4:06 pm

CATHB

I'll second that too..

4:06 pm

Minski

Thanks Snowy!
DONE!
And before my guests get here. They are only 1 1/2 hours late but at least a 4 hour drive and no cell phone. They never call from the road to report progress. Annoying. I'm going to give them one of those pay as you go cell phones for christmas.

4:07 pm

leen

...haven't got a natepad...and I thought I'd given you a good education...

4:07 pm

ScoutsMom

nava, add a vowel to your br4/6.

4:07 pm

CadFan

I'm short on time and need an fr5, a pu4 and an ri 4

4:07 pm

snowyowl

CATHB do you think he'll sulk if I intercom him with the phone! LOL

4:08 pm

CATHB

Minski - congrats

4:08 pm

snowyowl

fr5 think apple, pear, banana etc

4:08 pm

minz

BR rough guy....spelt with an extra vowel in the middle
Realized I'm missing last Pi 4/5....anyone???

4:08 pm

CATHB

snowy...it will take him half an hour to find it

4:08 pm

ScoutsMom

quickly: fr5: apples/oranges/bananas!

4:08 pm

Minski

FR5
you should eat at least 5 servings of FR5 and vegetables every day

4:09 pm

snowyowl

Cadfan which pu and which ri?

4:09 pm

ScoutsMom

pu4: clean like ivory soap, or change the last vowel of that.

4:10 pm

snowyowl

pi4 sounds like but not spelled like an aniseed alcoholic drink

4:10 pm

ScoutsMom

last pi4 is just like your 2nd fi4.

4:11 pm

nava

I still can't figure it out. I have tried bruit, and any other combination, still no luck.

4:11 pm

minz

Thanx all :) Now I can go sleep! Good luck!!!

4:12 pm

minz

Nava....u got it....refresh your page

4:17 pm

Dachef

scoutsmom - good clue!

not that I know about your breasts, of course.....

4:17 pm

aknitter

ab --- i have no idea what it means australian beef research institute!!!

4:18 pm

ScoutsMom

dachef, it means the shoulder of a road. rhymes with a period of school, or a period of holding office.

4:18 pm

snowyowl

Dachef! don't go paddling in murky waters your mum is around!!! LOL

4:18 pm

nava

ab 4/6??

4:18 pm

aknitter

be 4/7 a curb

4:19 pm

aknitter

ab 4/6 only comes as an acronym

4:19 pm

Dachef

scoutsmom - yeah, I got it from your first clue. That was more on my rather depraved wavelength....

4:20 pm

CadFan

sorry - bott booted off. Found the pu, need the ri that isn't a tear or a brown banana

4:20 pm

ScoutsMom

nava. if you asked the guy at the cheese shop for a soft french cheese that goes nicely with fruit, he'd sell you ab**. that's what it sounds like, anyway.

4:20 pm

Dachef

snowyowl - its ok, my mum knows me. She's had to put up with me for long enough!

4:21 pm

aknitter

eu 6/24 anyone?

4:21 pm

nava

Got it, thanks

4:21 pm

snowyowl

lol Cadfan replace the t on your tear with and s

4:22 pm

CadFan

please,last word, and I'm late for a meeting

ri 4 not like an argument or an old piece of fruit

4:22 pm

CadFan

Oh for hevens sake.. why didn't I think of that! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

4:41 pm

oceanica

anyone know if wales beat fiji?? last i seen it was 0-0

4:41 pm

Dachef

joel - around all these welsh people it might be advisable to fill you in on some facts. We are not, nor at any time have been, part of England. We are mostly crazy, mostly drunk, and have a peculiar predisposition towards sheep. And daffodils. Actually, thats probably just me....

4:41 pm

joelgee

just googled chip buttie. Geez, that sounds horrifically greasy.
Can I get one to go?

4:41 pm

Karys

LOl ...joel....send you one next time ok ?

4:42 pm

justjack

how many words to complete puzzle...new player

4:42 pm

joelgee

Well, at least you give the sheep flowers before. . .

4:42 pm

leen

oceanica - beat them by a measly one point -

4:42 pm

joelgee

Sure, karys. I pop in and you pop out. I won't take it personally or anything.
Later.

4:42 pm

oceanica

4:43 pm

Karys

sorry joel....no please don't....

4:43 pm

snowyowl

oceanica - are you in Wales too?

4:44 pm

joelgee

justjack--
If you look over to the right, you'll see a link to Babblers Anonymous.
Click it to go to chat board.
Click General.
You'll see a posting with today's date.
Click that for all the info you'll need.

4:44 pm

oceanica

4:44 pm

joelgee

karys,

4:45 pm

CATHB

4:45 pm

Karys

ooohh...is it ok to ask where oceanica ?

4:45 pm

snowyowl

The Welsh are doing well here tonight then! Just as well really!

4:45 pm

Karys

joel....suddenly it doesn't look too good with your new icon !!!!

4:45 pm

justjack

going now..thanks joelgee

4:46 pm

oceanica

a small town called caldicot, in between newport & chepstow

4:46 pm

joelgee

I guess it's just the Queen and I representing the NA continent.

4:47 pm

joelgee

Karys--
I'd better not see any feathers dangling from your icon's mouth.

4:47 pm

Queenruejean

Looks that way, Joelgee. Up the States! :)

4:47 pm

Karys

ty...oceanica....man has to 'do' Wales every month or so and sometimes I come with him...around Cardiff and Swansea...and I feel sort of adoptive !!

4:47 pm

snowyowl

My uncle and aunt kept a pub there in the 70s but I can't remember what it was called! So thats a whole lot of useless info for you! My cousin was married there too!

4:48 pm

Dachef

oceanic - how's blackrock?

4:48 pm

CATHB

Karys - snowy and i live near swansea

4:48 pm

Karys

no joel....your icon just too beautiful !!!

4:48 pm

oceanica

heheh never been swansea, but cardiff is good for shopping ^^, but wages not good for shopping not enough ^^

4:48 pm

joelgee

qrj--
don't know that I'd go that far.

4:49 pm

snowyowl

And your name spelled with a C is Welsh too Karys

4:49 pm

Karys

ooohhh...a nice warm feeling here then Cath xx

4:49 pm

Queenruejean

Actually, when I was in England 20 some years ago, everyone kept asking if I was from the "colonies." :)

4:50 pm

Karys

I know snowy ....one of the reasons I chose it....get dropped off to shop in Swansea

4:50 pm

snowyowl

We are very glad to welcome you to our Welsh clique Joel & Queen! Thats another thing the Welsh are good at - we're very friendly - but we're also very nosy!!!!

4:51 pm

joelgee

Actually--and I couldn't make this up--I wandered onto the "Nudes for Peace" website and got the dove there.

4:51 pm

Karys

Get to go to Porthcawl as well....like it there

4:51 pm

Queenruejean

Thanks for the welcome! I have no prob with nosy!

4:52 pm

joelgee

So am I now somewhat Welsh? Do I have to listen to Tom Jones?

4:52 pm

Dachef

nudes for peace?!?!?!? poor deluded souls. then again, who wants to fight a bunch of naked people. Way too distracting....

4:52 pm

snowyowl

Must have been England Queen - in Wales we'd want to know your great grandmothers name, where she was from and your shoe size and any other info we could wheedle out of you!

4:53 pm

joelgee

Do I have to remove all of the vowels from my keyboard?

4:53 pm

oceanica

i had a bad experience in porthcawl, i want to forget. had to escort a resident from the home i work at there and as i was pushing him around he had his hand in his trousers. I wondered why people was staring :D

4:54 pm

joelgee

dachef--
everytime I think I've seen it all . . .
But a guy who frolics with sheep shouldn't throw stones.

4:54 pm

snowyowl

listening to Tom Jones is not compulsory - but knowing the words to Green Green Grass of home could be!
Or maybe Delilah!

4:54 pm

Queenruejean

Yup, England. We were going to go to Wales, but ran out of time. :( Too bad. I've always wanted to go there.

4:54 pm

Karys

might help joel !!

4:56 pm

Queenruejean

I like Tom Jones, but will pick Dave Edmunds for Welshman of choice. Musically speaking, of course.

4:57 pm

Dachef

4:57 pm

snowyowl

4:58 pm

CATHB

4:59 pm

snowyowl

Karys

5:49 pm

DirtBikeGirl

pbr - the ru4/5 - If someone wants revenge they can say "You will ru* the day you ever met me!". ru4/5 is the person doing the ru*ing. Ok, that's a weird clue...Sorry, the best I can come up with! LOL

5:49 pm

Karys

5:54 pm

Karys

DirtBikeGirl - I'll figure that darn eu yet

6:01 pm

Haz1558

eu - first three letters that of a continent. Last three letters rhyme with yipee

6:01 pm

DirtBikeGirl

pbr - sorry! I was trying to not be too blatant. It sounds like my last clue...

6:02 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Oops, maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong...try "You're a pea" instead... LOL!

6:03 pm

evanonut

any help on the bu6? i've got the place i keep me clothing.

6:04 pm

DirtBikeGirl

BU6/30 - "A little bi**** told me", change second letter to a U, but it sounds the same.

6:05 pm

pbr

DirtBikeGirl - finally -- thanks all for the help. let's see, I have never been this close to finishing - I have the second pi14, the second tr4 and 5

6:06 pm

evanonut

tx dirt bike girl, should have been able to nab that one on my own. but my brain is fried

6:07 pm

pbr

got the t's

6:07 pm

Kristin43

If you need the second pi 5/14 it's "Any of various widely distributed songbirds of the genus Anthus, characteristically having brownish upper plumage and a streaked breast"

6:07 pm

DirtBikeGirl

That's OK! It's a Friday, I think everyones brains are fried!

6:08 pm

Kristin43

Or, one of Gladys Knight's backup singers + "it"

6:08 pm

Haz1558

tr4/5 the opposite of false and the 5 is even more opposite!

6:09 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Take your first PI5/14 and keep to the right, across the grid. 1st 3 letters are the same as your first pi5/14.

6:11 pm

evanonut

indeed, but i'm determined. i haven't finished a puzzle yet!

actually today I went to Barnes & Noble and bought the Offical scarabble players dictionary LOL

7:24 pm

Cathy

Mish - you're right. Many strange ones. But after you play for a while, you'll be amazed at how you start to recognize some of the ones you once thought obscure!

7:25 pm

Cathy

Groovy -- I never heard of morewords.com either. I'll have to check that one out. Thnx

7:26 pm

groovygranny

Cathy that one is great ... like if the word is an Au words .. you look for the 4 letter A words and it's a listing of them

7:26 pm

groovygranny

it lists them by length and alphabetically

7:28 pm

Cathy

Just checked it out. Pretty cool. I need all the tools I can find sometimes, so I'll definitely bookmark this one.

7:29 pm

groovygranny

I found it when I first started babble ... it's like my bible at times !

7:31 pm

groovygranny

the scrabble dictionary is pretty cool too .. I was using it earlier it's 675 pages full of all scrabble words alphabetically

7:32 pm

katrynwise

down to 3 words left and wouldn't you know they're all 4 letters... that's when I feel dumb

7:32 pm

groovygranny

what are they ? I'll help you if I can

7:33 pm

Cathy

I've got one of those. My daughter knows how addicted I am to Babble, and gave me a huge Webster's dictionary and a Scrabble dictionary for my birthday a few months ago. It was great!

10:24 pm

bearofthep

Hello all. Usually I lurk. I feel waaaayyy to sllooooow to participate in all the chats. But...I finished my first puzzle today! Had to resort to lots of clues, monkey typing and A2Z...but I did it! :)

10:25 pm

JBsAnno

+thinking to self+
what a wonderful crew...so helpful...so fun...and they stay up SO late!
Wish I didn't have to be a grownup and go to bed...sigh

10:25 pm

Jules2me

I must say goodnight, now. "After all tomorrow is another day." I love this game!!! and yous guys!

10:25 pm

ohromujici

Smeltz: just curious but are you a kosher hotdog?

GreyWoulf

10:26 pm

JBsAnno

C'mon, Jules! *grabs J's um, paw, and moves to exit, stage left

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Good Night, Jules!!! See you tomorrow!

mamabear

bearofthep

10:28 pm

JBsAnno

Last clue for ohro - is this peach ri**? I think the other one is ri***.
GOOD NIGHT, Everybody, fur, non-fur, paws, and All!

10:28 pm

mamabear

I like that one too GW (icon) it's so YOU!!!!! And, I also refuse to grow up. It's much too complicated and I'd have to give up my sippy cup.

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

bearofthep -- welcome to the fold -- speed os not necessary to chat -- the ability to wrap your mind around multiple threads of cinversation while looking for words is :D

10:29 pm

Smeltzdog

eastern - due to the tendency of people cannonballing in to the cuzzi...we've moved to sippy cups.

10:29 pm

bearofthep

All the talk of sippy cups reminds me that I have to go to bed now. Little ones (and their sippy cups) will need me in the AM.

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

And another one joins the pack! Congrats, chic ;D

10:29 pm

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - a wise move...I'm assuming this is the Mr??

10:30 pm

bearofthep

Though - for once in my life - I could give a few clues if anyone needs them.

10:30 pm

mamabear

bearofthep - well then we bid you adieu!!!! Have a good nite's rest and never hesitate to jump on in!!!! Speaking of....
CANNONBALL!!!!!

10:30 pm

Smeltzdog

GreyWoulf

G'nite catka!!

10:31 pm

mamabear

10:32 pm

bearofthep

wi 5/20 - guess that makes me a wi***

10:32 pm

Smeltzdog

10:32 pm

mamabear

10:32 pm

10:33 pm

mamabear

10:33 pm

Smeltzdog

10:34 pm

Smeltzdog

ohro - think snow dri**

10:34 pm

mamabear

Are you gonna make me clean up the cuzzi again, Smeltzie?

10:34 pm

ohromujici

Woohoo!! Woohoo!! *Ohro runs around chatroom throwing off clothes and shouting obscenities. And does a cannon ball carefully so that smeltz' bun doesn't get wet.*

10:35 pm

bearofthep

*** Night all ***

10:35 pm

EasternBlue

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Good night, bear -- have a good sleep and a great day tomorrow!

10:36 pm

ohromujici

Night Bear.

Cool Mama. Now I can concentrate on jacuzzi activities.

10:36 pm

mamabear

what do you need Eastern?

10:37 pm

torgone

You're almost there, 1273rd..

10:37 pm

mamabear

Not much concentrating going on in THIS cuzzi!!!!! Lots of bubbles & sippy cups!

10:37 pm

ohromujici

Sorry smeltz. I didn't say all clothes, just some. I didnt' think you would be offended since you are only wearing a hotdog bun.

10:37 pm

Smeltzdog

I'm done tonight...See y'all later!

10:38 pm

ohromujici

Bye smeltz.

10:38 pm

1273rd

thanks torgone ...
is there any way to tell how many words on the board?

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Blue - not for much longer ;D

1273rd -- nothing sad about it -- it's a new game -- just have fun -- we don't care how many words you get - just that you are having fun!

10:38 pm

mamabear

g'nite Smeltzie... *little bear hug*

10:38 pm

ohromujici

1273rd: what do you need?

10:38 pm

EasternBlue

bye Mr. Smeltzie!

Mama - just plugging away - about 13 left to go!

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

see ya, Smeltz

tomorrow is another day...

10:39 pm

torgone

Click on Babblers Anon. link on the right. The stats are posted daily.

10:39 pm

1273rd

was wondering if there's a place to look to see how many words on this board ? am I anywhere near close?

10:39 pm

mamabear

did you hear that folks. ah say did you hear that??? 1273rd has 41 words, first time out of the gate, and doesn't even have a word list!!! I say they deserve a round of applause!!! *mamabear slaps paws together wildly making pretty much no noise*

10:39 pm

1273rd

thanks for that info torgone

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

there are only 54 words today

10:40 pm

ohromujici

You need 13 more, 1273rd.

10:40 pm

ohromujici

*ohro starts the standing ovation from the jacuzzi participants*

10:40 pm

1273rd

that 13 seems like a million right now ... thanks for the kind words mamabear

10:41 pm

Stace

1273rd don't feel bad. I've been here off and on for several weeks and only have 25. I've decided I'm one of the vocabulary challenged and just try for the fun of it and to read the silly things the intelligent ones imagine.

10:41 pm

1273rd

that jacuzzi sounds a lot better than this board
:-)

10:41 pm

mamabear

intelligent ones???/ Where?

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

lol, Stace

10:42 pm

1273rd

thank you stace ...

10:42 pm

Smeltzdog

(refresh)

10:42 pm

torgone

1273rd - Chances are those 13 words are really obvious if you're only pointed in the right direction. That's why some of us hang around - to give clues.

10:43 pm

mamabear

1237rd & Stace - have you been introduced to monkey typing... and a2z??????

10:43 pm

EasternBlue

Oh my gosh...I didn't know you had to be intelligent to be here...
perhaps I should leave! : )

10:43 pm

ohromujici

Hop on in, 1273rd. The jacuzzi contains a bohemian (me), a bear, a chicken, and a wolf. Don't let that intimidate you though.

10:43 pm

Smeltzdog

SuperSmeltz heard there were people in despair. *Put on cape and came to help*

10:43 pm

Smeltzdog

a hotdog is in cuzzi too!

10:44 pm

ohromujici

...make that a bear, a chicken, a wolf and a hotdog...

10:44 pm

1273rd

it seems like there are too many vowels together and too many consonants together .... I can't seem to make words out of prwdfn .... thanks mamabear ... now
you have an rd in your jacuzzi too

10:45 pm

Stace

smeltzdog hope you're in a ziploc. I hate soggy bread.

10:45 pm

torgone

Don't call-I say don't call me a chicken!

10:46 pm

EasternBlue

...I'll provide a midnight blue sky for the jacuzzi!

10:46 pm

1273rd

for those in the jacuzzi ... let me share my home made cherry wine with you all ... here's a snifter for each of you

10:46 pm

ohromujici

*ohro hands 1273rd a little pink drink with an umbrella in it*

Sorry Torgone. make that a bohemian, a wolf, a rooster, a bear, and a hotdog, and a 1273rd.

10:47 pm

torgone

I am starting to feel a bit fricaseed in this jacuzzi, though.

10:47 pm

ohromujici

....and a beautiful starry sky.

10:47 pm

Smeltzdog

stace - that's not very nice...I'm in a hoagie bun. last week we filled the cuzzi with blue jello and it wasn't good so I upgraded to a much more fi** bun

10:47 pm

1273rd

how did you all get a picture into your chat box?

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

I've never had cherry wine before...(*sips*)...mmm tasty!

10:47 pm

Smeltzdog

it cost 10 bucks

10:47 pm

1273rd

thanks for the drink orho

10:48 pm

mamabear

Refresh!!!! (do I look fat in this picture) I thought Smeltzie could use some help - the crowd is getting rather large tonite.

10:48 pm

ohromujici

cherry wine = yummy

10:48 pm

Smeltzdog

12738537549 - if you go pro (10 bucks) you can see stuff you can't see yet and you get an icon.

10:49 pm

mamabear

Did I hear cherry wine??? Never had... will try anything once.... mmmm.... and cherry??? Quite fitting for the evening since 10 have *popped* so far!!

10:49 pm

I am still stumped with smeltzdog's hint though.

10:55 pm

1273rd

I'm in 'mt' ... and empty is what my head is right now ... all kidding aside ... Montana ...

10:55 pm

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

I just want to see how water resistant the new bun is Smeltzie :D

If it really is worth th e10 bucks you paid for it, the pits will bounce and not sink in... yeah, that's it, I just want do some quality control testing :)

10:58 pm

1273rd

in czech ... ahoy ... is hello .... and it is also goodbye ... which means czechs don't know if they are coming or going

10:58 pm

ohromujici

If you mean my name torgone, it means "something that sparkles so brightly that you can't look away from it" (roughly).

10:59 pm

Smeltzdog

I have a bun of steel!

10:59 pm

mamabear

something that pretty shouldn't have that many vowels, ohro!

10:59 pm

EasternBlue

ohro...very pretty!

10:59 pm

GreyWoulf

So ohrom, does that mean you should get a job as a hypnotist's assistant? ;D

10:59 pm

ohromujici

1273rd: that is because Czechs are usually drunk. I can confirm that stereotype is true. : )

10:59 pm

EasternBlue

Smeltzie - LOL!

11:00 pm

ohromujici

Yeah, well, it was either that or vynikajici. : )

11:00 pm

Smeltzdog

don't bother googling ohro's name...all of the sites that come up are foreign

11:01 pm

ohromujici

lol GW.

11:01 pm

zubie

Clues for the second pi 4/5 and the other pi 5, please? Not the rats one.

11:01 pm

torgone

1273rd - The pro membership does not get you the second letter list; that is available to all. For $10 you get to post a bio and icon; you get stats: Total no. of words, no. of words of each length, and a grid showing how many words start with each letter on the grid.

11:01 pm

mamabear

Buns of steel??? Well don't get em too close to these mighty wrist bracelets, or we might be stuck together for all eternity. They have a magnetic tendency.

11:02 pm

1273rd

thanks ... that is very helpful info torgone ... I appreciate it

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

2nd pi4/5 - rhymes with burn

11:03 pm

mamabear

google this for the pi 4/5
A quill or reed on which thread or yarn is wound; a bobbin; also, the wound yarn on a weaver's shuttle; also, the reel of a fishing rod. [Scot.]

11:03 pm

ohromujici

Smeltz: go to http://www.slovnik.cz/. You can do a czech to english translation to get the specifics. You never know when you might need to translate "ohromujici". Although, knowing babble, it might appear in a puzzle some day.

11:03 pm

Smeltzdog

1273 - if you want the second letter list go to the babblers anon link on the right and click general. It'll give you what you want.

11:03 pm

1273rd

thanks smeltzdog

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Good evening everyone.

I am so close to finishing my first puzzle. I was hoping you all might be so kind as to give me some clues for the ones that I am missing:

Hey 1273rd: here are some sites that I use. These come in handy once in a while.
http://www.onelook.com (can do reverse dictionary lookups --put in definition and it spits out words)
http://www.google.com/ (sometimes people give clues that are exact definitions---just put the clue in quotes in a google search)
http://www.a2zwordfin der.com/index.html (too many uses to list)
http://p105.ezboard.com /bbabblersanonymous (babbler's anon posts a word list that I think almost everyone uses)
