Woulf, as a woulf, how couldn't you be! :)

12:08 am

Apart from a nasty atmosphere in yesterday's grid, all is great here!

12:08 am

Babbler

errrr. typo city..... lol ! ;D

12:08 am

mamabear

BABBLER!!!!!!!! *mamabear runs over to Babbler, leaps over pile of words she didn't find and grabs Babbler for a huge swing ya around hug*

12:09 am

Babbler

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee e !!!

*dizzy with sheer delight.......and spinning round and round!*

:D

12:09 am

mamabear

GW - you changed your pic...... why come?

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

sprite - I am fairly confident there will not be a repeat of that situation ever again

12:09 am

EasternBlue

hi Babs, Towl, cyber, hilary, Tor, sprite, BrandyJack, Woulfie, Missyme, Hugs & Mama...now I can chat (I'll have tomorrow to finish...) : )

12:09 am

cybernan

f 7; f 8

12:09 am

GreyWoulf

MAMA - cos I could :D

12:10 am

EasternBlue

sprite - was there meanness in the chat?? I missed it (only on for the past few to frantically find words!)

12:11 am

Babbler

(((((((((( *EB*))))))))))))

12:11 am

EasternBlue

any requests for a new drawing today for my icon?

12:11 am

EasternBlue

(((((BABS!!!)))))))))))

12:11 am

GreyWoulf

EB - nothing worth rehashing today -- it's all in yesterday's log if you really want to check it out

12:11 am

sprite

Woulf, you handled it admireably, I really mean that. Why people don't understand that ignoring a troll is the only way to get rid of it, is beyond me. No fun in provoking if no one is provoked, right?

12:12 am

Babbler

I request a new drawing, EB! Are you going to draw it now? : )

12:12 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, sprite - i think every subject they teach you not to bring up in social situations was debated thursday...

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

exactly, sprite :)

12:12 am

stillcrazy

I liked the singing

12:12 am

sprite

Eastern, you missed nothing. It is great to be back to babbling again :)

12:12 am

EasternBlue

I just don't get it...why can't people be nice (not going back to look...if it's meanness...don't want to see it...)

12:12 am

72 Temple Owl

gw did the troll have a name?

12:13 am

Babbler

I feel terrible about yesterday. I hope it's all resolved and I hope it never happens again.

12:13 am

mamabear

Oh..... ok..... he's cute too. getting veeeerrrrryyyy sleepy.... could be the working 13 hours today.... could be the rum..... who knows????

12:13 am

GreyWoulf

Bab - I think it is

12:13 am

EasternBlue

Babs - what would you like??? something cheery?? suggestions?? (but not too hard!)

12:14 am

sprite

So let's all plunge in and give it a go. I saw some biggies were already accounted for, great going!

12:14 am

GreyWoulf

Temple - it was between Tuva and Jac, anything more I won't go into -- still too raw

12:14 am

stillcrazy

Just be thankful you missed it

12:15 am

mamabear

I don't think I said hi to everyone.
Hi everyone!!! Too tired to list .... sorry...

12:15 am

Babbler

EB, I'd love a lovely blue sky and a great big gorgeous sun, with a few birds and soft fluffy white clouds! (to remind me of summer!) : D

12:15 am

mamabear

big words? what big words? I don't see any big words? Where????

12:15 am

EasternBlue

Babs - on it's way...

12:15 am

Hugabugs

Babs... Oh I miss summer so much already!

12:15 am

sprite

np, Mama, I know you don't ignore me on purpose, LOL.
I am sure the 13 working hours and the rum make a perfect mix.

12:16 am

72 Temple Owl

that's who i thought he was after everyone yesterday...i got into it a bit

12:16 am

mamabear

I would never ignore you Sprite, nor anyone else for that matter!!!!!! there's 4 7's and 4 8's????

12:16 am

Babbler

I know Hugs. I was just thinking about long balmy summer evenings, and how it was light till really late..... *sigh*

12:17 am

sprite

So far I have only the F7/44, but it is a lovely find. Hope you will never be in that position, Woulf :)

12:17 am

mab

Good morning everyone! Goodmorning Hugs!

12:17 am

mamabear

Could use some sun this way too.... got cold when I left work and can't warm up. Have long thermal nitegown, sweatpants and a sweatshirt over the nightgown... Still cold.

EasternBlue

late night/good morning mab & Debs

12:24 am

mamabear

sprite - what's second letter on those f's?

12:25 am

Debs40ish

Not sure..he flew out Thursday but will be home for Christmas :)

12:25 am

sprite

Ai Debs, that leaves an empty space, I am sure. But half will be back :)
Ok, better get it off my chest or it will be bugging me the entire grid: 'careless' isn't in this grid. Not. Tried it three times. Isn't.

12:25 am

EasternBlue

ooops...hi renny...

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

EB - you hav eto post on a regular basis so the sun doesn't leave my screen, OK? ;D

12:25 am

renfield

cruise was relaxing - balmy - wish you could have all been w/ us , cool jazz

12:25 am

sprite

I only have one yet, Mama, the 7, takes U as 2nd letter. Think of Woulf over about 40 years.

12:26 am

Babbler

I second GW's request to EB
: D

12:26 am

MissyMe

12:26 am

sprite

12:26 am

Eeastern, love your snowperson. I really like those little clouds in the sky. (art history degree, a million years ago)

12:27 am

GreyWoulf

Yikes -- that's a disturbing image, sprite!
Mama - wouldn't do you much good either :D

12:27 am

EasternBlue

Tor...too funny!! : D

12:31 am

12:32 am

sprite

It is a musical grid, isn't it?

12:33 am

EasternBlue

you mean, all the words aren't 4 & 5 letters???

: D

12:33 am

72 Temple Owl

don't you think "lunile" should be a word?

12:33 am

Babbler

just what I was thinking, EB !! ; D

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

The harlot is back in the grid!

12:34 am

torgone

Yay!

12:34 am

sprite

I second that, Temple.

12:34 am

EasternBlue

hopefully she doesn't have the he 6 from yesterday...

12:34 am

cybernan

There's an it/8 as well

12:34 am

mari

How many words today please?

12:35 am

Babbler

what harlot? whadamiss?

12:35 am

EasternBlue

how about lert? the world needs more lerts...

12:35 am

Babbler

12:35 am

EasternBlue

mari 181

12:35 am

torgone

Yes, EB. Be a lert!

12:35 am

sprite

Tor's harlot.

12:35 am

Babbler

EB, I'm a lert ...... :)

12:35 am

mamabear

I don't see her either, Babbler!!!! I feel so left out....

12:36 am

EasternBlue

I'm actually a little sleepy - so I'm not as 'lert as I normally could be!

12:36 am

MissyMe

I've been a lert for years...for what...I don't know. o-0

12:36 am

mari

Thanks

12:36 am

torgone

s4/5 Mama

12:36 am

EasternBlue

*whispers to Babs & Mama*
starts with s (4 letters)

12:36 am

sprite

I am very a lert.
Well, I can live with 'careless' not being in the grid. But now I find there is no 'caress' either. World needs more caresses too.

12:37 am

Babbler

*makes fresh cup of coffee for EB, reaches over and puts it on her desk*

there you go! :D

12:37 am

Babbler

EB!!! *gasp* :o

12:37 am

torgone

I'm right there with you on that one, Sprite!

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

I noticed that earlier, sprite, but chose not to comment :)

(*hug*) how's that for a substitue?

12:37 am

EasternBlue

(cocoa instead...not a coffee drinker..don't really like the smell...)

12:37 am

mamabear

*whispers back to EB.... got it....thanks.....*

12:38 am

EasternBlue

*whispers back*
you're welcome...

12:38 am

mamabear

And I second that emotion on the caresses!!!!!

12:38 am

sprite

That's no substitute, Woulf, that is better still ;)
Thanks!

12:38 am

Babbler

*takes back the coffee... makes fresh cocoa with the finest chocolate and organic milk, reaches over and puts it on EB's desk, with little bowl of sugar, and a silver spoon*

howzat?

12:39 am

EasternBlue

Deeeeeelicious! thanks : D

12:39 am

mab

Good idea, Babs, I'm going to make a coffee before my fingers freeze.

12:39 am

mamabear

mmmmm.... that sounds yummy......... may I have a cup, Babbler?

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

Ever notice how a hug is more acceptable in public than a simple caress, especially between strangers, even though it is more invasive of personal space?

12:40 am

Babbler

allow me, Mab!! *pours fresh cup of coffee, reaches over and puts it on Mab's desk, with a little jug of cream, one of milk, sugar bowl, and the obligatory silver spoon*

:D

12:41 am

mab

Greywoulf is quiet. Too quiet. I think he is power babbling.

12:41 am

Babbler

I touch people's arms, GW, when I'm sympathising, but that's not the same, is it?

12:41 am

mamabear

You can invade my personal space, GW!!!

12:41 am

sprite

Yes, I did, and it is a funny thing. Still, a caress can be more intimite than a hug, sometimes.

12:42 am

mab

How lovely, thank you Babbler! So considerate.

12:42 am

Babbler

*makes fresh cup of cocoa, for Mamabear, with finest chocolate and organic milk, reaches over and puts it on her desk, with a little bowl of sugar and another silver spoon*

:D

12:42 am

GreyWoulf

Bab -- that qualifies -- it's a caress, but you have to have the implied permission that sorrow grants to do it to someone you barely know

12:42 am

GreyWoulf

(((*HUG for MAMA*)))

12:43 am

Babbler

It's kind of different between women, I think, GW. It's more acceptable, I'd say. (I think.... dunno! I do it anyway!) : )

12:43 am

EasternBlue

bakes chocolate chip cookies...passes 'em around (still warm) for cocoa/coffee...

12:43 am

GreyWoulf

sometimes, sprite -- social mores are just so weird sometimes ;)

12:44 am

GreyWoulf

yuuuuummm! Choc chip cookies!

12:44 am

torgone

A gentle, sensitive caress can be the most intimate, knowing, giving gesture in the world.

12:44 am

mamabear

Thanks GW!!!! Well, I for one am a hugger.... after all, I ask you, what kind of bear would I be if I wasn't?

12:44 am

GreyWoulf

A lonely one, Mama ;D

12:45 am

Babbler

mmmmmm......... chocolate chip coookeeessss!
Thanks, EB! :D

12:45 am

Hugabugs

I'm a bug that hugs!! ;o)

12:45 am

sprite

It isn't even that long that a hug between men isn't looked upon as strange, in most parts. Well, if anyone wants my opinion: world needs more hugs too! I love the babble site for the no-holds-barred atmosphere ;)

12:45 am

mamabear

hmmmmm.... if you only knew, GW!!!

12:45 am

GreyWoulf

Very true, torgone -- and so many people don't know how to provide one on the proper manner :(

12:45 am

Babbler

I think people should be more tactile, it connects us.

12:45 am

mamabear

wholeheartedly agree, Tor!

12:46 am

sprite

You are a bug that hugs and never bugs, Hugs :)

12:46 am

sprite

I am with you, Tor!

12:46 am

mamabear

that was awesome, Sprite... now 3 times fast!

12:47 am

EasternBlue

I'm all for hugs too...

HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG! HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HU G!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG!HUG! HUG!HUG!

12:47 am

sprite

I feel hugged by your sun too, Eastern :)
Every time I see it, it makes me smile.

12:47 am

Babbler

awwww, that was adorable, EB!!! *chuckles* :D

12:47 am

Hugabugs

Shall we have a group hug? *HUG*

12:47 am

EasternBlue

it's too late for tongue-twisters like that!

12:48 am

GreyWoulf

Bugs...hugs...

Wasn't it angels and heavenly things for Dr. God day?

12:55 am

Babbler

tomorrow, sprite? I was thinking Angels and Heavenly Beings, for Dr God. Though I suspect there might be some ZZTop thrown in for good measure! lol! :D

12:56 am

I am not sure if i7/36 has been mentioned yet. It is almost similar to the i8, just leave out one letter somewhere.

1:01 am

Griffums

Hello all.

1:02 am

sprite

Griffs! Hi there :)

GreyWoulf

Hiya Blaze & harpjane!

1:04 am

sprite

Hi Blaze

1:05 am

Griffums

Hi and hi and for torgone, hihihihihi. hi. I don't have many Friday night goodies to distribute I'm afraid, haven't made the grocery trip since becoming ill day before Thanksgiving. I have...coffee and mac and cheez. And peanut butter. Also somewhat glad to see that the snow theme has passed on, as I kind of freaked out earlier today that it had even invaded my computer!

1:05 am

mamabear

evenin Blaze!! Or should I say good morning????

1:05 am

GreyWoulf

Hello again, Blaze

Harpjane -- sorry I missed saying Hello to you before!

1:06 am

Griffums

Hi blaze - long time no babble. Minor grid today I see. Sprite must be done awreddy.

1:06 am

Blaze

it is actually still night here 11:05pm Sorry to hear you were sick Griff..... Hello everyone

1:06 am

torgone

"Dazed and Confused" just came on the radio. Back in a tic . . .

1:06 am

EasternBlue

Griffs...hope you're feeling better...
no need to worry about treats - Babbler made cocoa (only the best) and coffee...I followed with (still warm) chocolate chip cookies!!
*passes more cookies around*

1:06 am

Babbler

HI Griff! Hi Blaze! :D

1:06 am

mamabear

i missed you too harpjane.... i'm sorry.....
no wonder you are paws up, Griff's.... you ok now? Sorry to hear you were sick!

1:08 am

Griffums

Much better. Still very tired. Flu hit day before Thanksgiving, I missed the holiday and a planned trip north to a winter cabin weekend. But that also means I missed their -35F weather so that's okay too. All right, done babbling and ready to start babbling.

1:08 am

Babbler

*makes Griff a gorgeous cup of cocoa, with the finest chocolate and organic creamy milk, reaches over and puts it on her desk, with a little bowl of sugar and a silver spoon...... and some chocolate, to help feel better!*

:D

1:09 am

Griffums

Mmmm, do I drink this or apply it topically?

1:09 am

Babbler

LOL!! Griff, you drink it! EB has some cookies for us too!
:D

1:10 am

sprite

I am off now, we planned on having a nice, festive familiy breakfast this morning, just because we felt like one. I am going to wake the rest of the sleepy family :)

gah sprite!

1:10 am

Babbler

bravo sprite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

(WOW!!!) :D

1:10 am

EasternBlue

congrats sprite...enjoy your breakfast!

1:10 am

mamabear

enjoy your breakfast, sprite!!!

1:11 am

GreyWoulf

Enjoy sprite!

(*hug*)

1:11 am

mab

Back. What I think is the worst, Griff, is that it sounds like you were sick and didn't have heat.

1:11 am

torgone

I love "Get the Led Out" back in a sec . .

1:11 am

Blaze

yummy have a great day....

1:11 am

EasternBlue

my hubby saw a recipe for PB & J french toast...so I might be making that tomorrow!!

1:11 am

mab

Bye Sprite...

1:13 am

Griffums

Not much of it in the house, but internal combustion was running high. But now I've had 24 hours of the wonderful stuff. When you live in a place that puts the eff in Fahrenheit, it's nice to be warm. There are folks here who never leave the streets and campshelters, all winter. I worry about them all the time.

1:14 am

mamabear

you runnin off to dance to the beat, Tor?

1:14 am

Babbler

that's no place to lose your heating, Griffs. brrrrr!

1:15 am

Blaze

It always makes me upset that no matter what is said there still seems to be nothing accomplished when it comes to homelessness.... there are more and more people on the streets everywhere..... I say fight poverty first..

1:15 am

torgone

My radio station plays a buttload of Led Zeppelin this time of day. Not actually dancing, but. . . . .grooving.

1:15 am

Babbler

hear hear, Blaze

1:16 am

EasternBlue

Tor - I'm listenin' to show tunes...

1:16 am

Griffums

Yeah. Well, it wasn't gone entirely, house was in the 50's for the most part. Still cold. Not as bad as others have had it. My friends had a CO problem and actually had to wait four days with the windows open, because they still had heat and others without had to come first. Heat yes, breathable air no. That's an interesting priority.

1:16 am

GreyWoulf

Time for me to go as well :(

Have to get up early for an interview at McDonalds for a second job --- need the extra time to practice saying "do you want fries with that?" I figure if I say it just right I'm a shoo-in for the position :D

((((((*Hugs to All*))))))
(even you torgone)

TTFN

1:17 am

Griffums

Clearly I have missed the GW backstory (though I think I just got it in one post) - night McWoulf.

1:17 am

EasternBlue

Blaze - quite true...

GB was praising the number of jobs created - but my hubby said that w/ the population the way it was, it was still 100,000 short each month...it's crazy (in a sad, frustating way...)

1:17 am

mab

Good luck Woulf.

1:17 am

harpjane

Li 8 is fun to say.

1:17 am

Blaze

good luck GW watch out for the pumpkin pies.....

1:17 am

Babbler

((((((( *GW* ))))))))))

good luck for today : )

1:17 am

torgone

Thanx GW - I'll gladly accept that hug and return in kind (((hug)))

1:17 am

mamabear

*big mac bear hugs, GW*

1:18 am

harpjane

No, GW, you have to practice saying, "would you like to super-size that?"

1:18 am

Griffums

So my question to the Babbleverse is: Does it really count that we're learning all these new words, when this is the only place we can use them?

1:19 am

Babbler

do they still say that, after that documentary?

1:19 am

EasternBlue

Woulfie...best of luck...they'd be crazy not to take you

1:19 am

Blaze

Yes Yes and Yes... and yes I have used a few out side of the babble versee...

1:19 am

mamabear

groovin..... on a Sunday afternoon..... groovin... couldn't get a way tooo ssooooonnnnnn

1:20 am

harpjane

Also, you have to say, "Would you like a girl toy or a boy toy?"

1:20 am

Babbler

I haven't used any babble-specific words yet, but I have noticed my general vocabulary is improving.

1:20 am

Griffums

Man, I've been away from Ronald for too long!

1:20 am

Blaze

thanks for the li 8 and yes it is funny now about that cat hair....L:OL

1:21 am

mamabear

that's like if a tree falls in the forest, will it make any noise?
if anyone says these words outside of Babbleonia, will anyone hear them??????
too bad aristotle isn't still alive.... or another one of those smart thinky guys

1:21 am

Griffums

Yeah. Them smart thinky guys was great.

1:21 am

mamabear

boy toy, definitely!!!!!

1:22 am

Babbler

boy toy, for sure! :D

1:22 am

spatialbean

I would like a boy toy.

1:22 am

Blaze

I'll super size that one.....!!

1:22 am

mamabear

OK, GW... that'll be 2 boy toys.... to go!!!!!

1:22 am

EasternBlue

I was gonna say that...you beat me to it

1:22 am

mab

Griff, of course not.

GW lost some hours at his primary job and found all seasonal jobs filled. He needs something soon to fill the incme gap.

1:22 am

Griffums

Spatial you *have* a boy toy, I must say.

1:23 am

mamabear

make that 4 boy toys.... super sized.... to go!!!!!!!

1:23 am

Babbler

LOL Blaze!!!! didn't think of that! :D

1:23 am

spatialbean

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

LOL, harp, Griff, and esp MAMA --- see you folks later

(*hugs again*)

1:23 am

Griffums

BTDT, mab, worked the twofer for the last year and it's a tough slog. Still working two but have them down to a onesie in terms of total hours.

1:24 am

mab

Well done. Get some sleep!

1:24 am

mamabear

<<<<mmmmwwwwaaaaahhhhhhh>>>> GW... that's in case it still hurts....

1:25 am

Griffums

Who's the illustrator on your icon mab?

1:25 am

mab

Sounds grueling. It is much the same here - difficult to survive on one full-tme job.

1:26 am

torgone

Way past this little boy's bedtime . .. Must go toss and turn for a few hours. See all you lovely people tomorrow . . .

1:26 am

Griffums

But the flip side is that now that I don't work 60-70 hrs a week and I don't have an elderly parent in my care, life feels like a freakin vacation, even without heat! ;D

1:26 am

mab

I don't know. Just a photo of statuary that I swiped via google search.

1:26 am

mamabear

need to be tucked in, Tor?

1:26 am

Babbler

EasternBlue

1:31 am

EasternBlue

Lucky would be howlin' soprano!!

1:31 am

MissyMe

1:31 am

mamabear

And I still think the sheeps would be offended too that wuls isn't a word....

1:32 am

torgone

You have to finish the job, Mama.
Either clout me on the head with a filthy great club or smother me with a pillow. THEN I'll sleep soundly all the night through...
Now I'm gone.

1:32 am

Babbler

well done, Missy Me! I didn't want that cradle to fall either. Poor Tor-Tor!

1:33 am

Griffums

I dunno mama, I hear there ain't much that offends a sheep.

1:33 am

Babbler

1:52 am

Schroeder

1:53 am

mab

Babbler

Oh. Well, the biggies are the ones for which I just gave a shiverin' clue a second ago...just different consonants on the end.

2:21 am

Babbler

I only have f7/44, but nothing else....

2:23 am

2:56 am

Babbler

LOL Griff! don't make me enter them again! :D

2:56 am

mab

The jolly elf's conveiance (sp)?

2:56 am

Babbler

have you tried fless, in case it's related to floss? LOL!

2:57 am

Griffums

Got that one too, mab, but that's what he uses to carry his ho's around.

2:57 am

MissyMe

mab lol

2:57 am

mab

I did, i did!

2:57 am

MissyMe

I can see that...

Well, I ran out of floss so I flessed my teeth instead.

Works for me

2:57 am

Schroeder

Oh Babbler, tried that one twice....

2:58 am

Griffums

Oh, i didn't try fless, I tried fluss...

2:59 am

MissyMe

the problem is...that "le**" is just buggin the heck out of me because so many words can end with it. I've tried practically ever combo on the grid and only got the one so far

2:59 am

Babbler

.... same here, Missy : /

3:00 am

mab

I keep seeing secanol, seconal...whatever.

3:00 am

MissyMe

no that's for when your fu7/48 goes out on you which makes you flussy

3:00 am

ramix

there's another one ending in le..begins with f

3:00 am

MissyMe

oh cool ramix thanx :)

3:01 am

Babbler

3:01 am

Griffums

I second that seconal...

3:02 am

MissyMe

I see it too...

3:02 am

mab

I still don't see the ho ho. It isn't some Christian thing is it?

3:02 am

MissyMe

mab "ho" is a term for whore :)

3:04 am

mab

Oh that word. Yep. Got it. Not a Christian thing.

3:04 am

Blaze

it's hte nasty S word.... the christmas S word is something you go down hill in....

3:04 am

MissyMe

Babbler not that I know of...just the one fu7/44

3:05 am

Babbler

thx Missy......... was just about to re-enter all my f-words!
:D

3:05 am

Haz1558

There's fu 6/30 which ends in le

3:05 am

MissyMe

yeah just a play on Santa's shout, "Ho, ho, ho"

3:06 am

mab

Hi Hazz!

3:06 am

MissyMe

Cool Haz...didn't see that

3:06 am

Haz1558

It works without the f as well.

3:06 am

Babbler

good call, Haz!!! :D

3:07 am

Babbler

((((((( Haz )))))))

3:07 am

Haz1558

I went to bed early last night - feel much refreshed!

3:08 am

Babbler

ramix, how you doing? I'm slowing down dramatically...... at 102 words now.....

3:11 am

mab

Griff, are you done?

3:11 am

Griffums

*splutter* NO........

3:11 am

Griffums

I play the glacial version of this game...

3:13 am

mab

You don't! I asked because I thought you might be too humble to say you's finished 15 minutes ago.

3:13 am

Griffums

Heck no, I'm not that humble. :) I'm just never that fast.

3:14 am

mab

And then we could wring you dry of clues.

3:14 am

Haz1558

No ulterior motive for asking then?

3:14 am

LUCKY

Does anyone have a clue for the
fu 7/44 and the
fu 8/70?.. pretty pleez

3:14 am

MissyMe

lol

3:15 am

Griffums

I'm happy to clue but once I finally pulled out the Jack's list, I have just been working my way backward through the alpha. So can only clue se's and forward, plus the ca's and the f's.

3:15 am

MissyMe

Lucky heating appliance...second is plural

3:16 am

mab

Well, Haz... Actually, too tired to ask for clues. I'm soon going to need Brandyjack's list however.

3:16 am

pthomp

keeps your house warm...or the house so equipped

3:16 am

Griffums

No, not the 44 isn't the heating appliance, it's what your icon would be without its coat, Lucky.

3:17 am

MissyMe

oh didn't see that lucky sorry...yeah Griffums right about that

3:17 am

Griffums

(the 48 is the heating appliance)

3:17 am

pthomp

and without his icon he'd be li8 -40

3:18 am

Schroeder

With 100 left I am off to bed....see you all later to finish *hugs*

3:18 am

MissyMe

I still only see one fu with "le**"

3:18 am

MissyMe

Niter Scroeder :)

Griffums

3:18 am

mab

Night Schroeder.

3:18 am

Babbler

nite schroeder!! :D

3:19 am

Griffums

There *is* only one F that ends that way Missy

3:19 am

MissyMe

That's what I thought...but someone said there were two

3:20 am

Griffums

back in a mo, time to let the furry Hunter man out to make his mark in the snow. Yikes, it's dropped from +11 to +6 in the last hour. Brrr.

3:22 am

MissyMe

I wouldn't think it's any comfort you're still in the pluses...

3:22 am

mab

Thanks pthomp.

I like your Paul Bunyon, and Babe the Blue Ox very much.

3:23 am

pthomp

I spend my summers near them in Bemidji, MN

3:23 am

Griffums

Long as we're in the pluses *inside* I'm okay. Back with a nice cold bottle of Hefeweizen which for some reason seemed like a good idea.

3:23 am

MissyMe

I was just about to brew some earl grey...

3:24 am

LUCKY

MissyMe THANKS !! I'm getting ahead a lot quicker now so I don't chat that much but THANKS I got 4 fu's from your clue!

3:24 am

MissyMe

cool lucky :)

3:28 am

mab

Do you lock your boyfriend out, Griff, or does he have his own key to get back in once he's made his mark? The men are so, so... masculine up there!

3:28 am

MissyMe

I think she was letting out a pet, Mab :)

3:29 am

Griffums

No. He begs to go out, and he begs to come in. And I grant his request. The women are pretty danged masculine here too....

3:29 am

Griffums

Yeah, mab knows - poor woman has read my blog where that's the only thing I talk about. :)))

3:29 am

mab

I know..... Another pathetic attempt to be amusing.

3:30 am

MissyMe

Mab...it was me that didn't get it. hehe

3:30 am

Griffums

Hey, up here leg hair is a means of self-defense. :)

3:31 am

mab

Wow!

3:37 am

Babbler

gosh, I'm so used to playing later in the day, with more clues floating around. It's a totally different game at this time, isn't it?

3:38 am

mab

Okay. Sleeping pills kicking in. Time to start sleeping the better part of the morning away. Night everyone and thanks for the company.

3:38 am

Griffums

It is. But for me it's better to get most of it out of the way during the quieter time. Then come back if needed for the clue volley.

3:39 am

Griffums

Bye-bye, mab, sweet dreams...

3:39 am

Babbler

n'nite mab! (((((( hugs ))))))

3:40 am

MissyMe

Night Mab :)

3:50 am

LUCKY

Any Clues for the fu 6/33 2x and the fu 7/44?...

3:51 am

Babbler

only have one fu6/33 - past tense
fu7/44 - a bear with no hair

3:53 am

Griffums

The other fu 6/33 is a plural for something that you use with a lever (on which the lever is supported)

3:53 am

LUCKY

Thanks Babbler got the bear but the fu 6/33 past tense of what?

3:53 am

Dachef

Babbler - fu6? Past tense?

3:54 am

Babbler

3:55 am

Dachef

3:55 am

ExWren

Just had a quick look at todays offering.
W1/8 shouldn't be too much trouble for me, eh?

3:55 am

Babbler

thanks for that fu6, Griff, I've been looking for something along those lines for ages! only one F to find....

3:56 am

Griffums

3:56 am

Babbler

3:56 am

Babbler

3:57 am

Griffums

Baby, I *always* save one for later.

3:57 am

Griffums

And now we've reached the point in our program where I begin to look for. words. I. already. have.....

3:57 am

Babbler

I'm saving the ul/5 for later too. don't tell me if you've already got it! : D

3:58 am

Griffums

Yes, I already got it, and probably every babbler here has gotten one of these by now.....

3:58 am

Babbler

that looks suspiciously like a hint, Griff..... : )

3:59 am

Griffums

Oh, but it wasn't a hinty hint!

3:59 am

Babbler

ACK NOOOOO!!! found it!! :D

3:59 am

Dachef

ex-wren - wondered what you were talking about there, and then suddenly got it. I just had what you might call a "lightbulb moment".

3:59 am

MissyMe

yeah just a fact. lol

3:59 am

Griffums

See! You're incredible in spite of yourself! *salaam salaam*

4:00 am

4:04 am

4:05 am

Babbler

LOL Griffs! :D

4:05 am

trishtrash

Griffums

4:06 am

trishtrash

4:06 am

Dachef

and Smart people dont get up two hours earlier than they have to, think "breakfast or Babble", and then find, two hours later, that they have to go to work without any breakfast. ; )

4:07 am

MissyMe

Hey, I have an excuse, I'm made of frozen H2O

4:07 am

Babbler

awwww Dachef!! grab something on the way, yeah?

4:07 am

Griffums

Smart people would find a way not to go to work at all! ;D

4:09 am

Dachef

and Smart people, during a meeting with their company director, suddenly stand up and say "I got the u I was missing, its u****!". Cos its gonna be on my mind all day now....

4:09 am

Griffums

That could earn you a nice long, um, vacation....?

4:10 am

Babbler

4:10 am

Dachef

4:11 am

Griffums

Oh, i finally found the fun part of the grid - all the LA's that go down like ninepins!

4:13 am

LUCKY

MissyMe or Babbler beat my brains with a clue for the
first fu 6/33 (=the third fu in the row) please...

4:13 am

MissyMe

nice I'm working on the two el's good lord

4:14 am

Babbler

Griff gave a great clue for that just a page back....

4:15 am

MissyMe

Lucky as near as I can tell I dont have that one yet

4:15 am

Babbler

something to do with levers : )

4:17 am

LUCKY

Missy Me the first el5/10 = intelligence derived from non-communications electromagnetic radiations from foreign sources (other than radioactive sources)
The 2nd el5/12 =To extract (one material) from another, usually by means of a solvent.

4:19 am

LUCKY

In other words el 5/10 = e + pepper**** change the first * for the letter before that in the alfabet.

4:21 am

MissyMe

Working on it...thanx so much :)

4:22 am

LUCKY

In other words e 5/12 = e +fl 5/18 - first letter.

4:23 am

Griffums

Missy - e + dryer fuzz, and e + musical instrument

4:23 am

Babbler

..... see what you mean about the la's, Griff... :D

4:24 am

MissyMe

Nice! Thanx both of you! :)

4:24 am

Griffums

yeah, that's cool huh babbler? It was my one moment of Babble empowerment to mow those over in a minute and a half! ;D

4:26 am

Babbler

heh heh heh .... on the f's now..... let's see how long it takes to find the missing one...... :D

4:26 am

Atalante

how interested are people in the meanings of the strange and weird words in babble? I have a sudden idea of making a thread in babanon for new words of the day or something, where we can define some of the weirdo words we find - might as well learn them and show them off in general conversation ;)

4:26 am

Griffums

let's see how many new F words you invent too

4:27 am

Babbler

FAB idea, Atalante! I often stop to see what words mean.... (not that I always remember!) :D

hi btw ((((( hugs ))))

4:27 am

MissyMe

what a great idea

4:27 am

LUCKY

Babbler pleez help on the first fu6/33 (= the third in the row)

4:27 am

Babbler

lol Griff :D

4:27 am

Griffums

Might be fun, atalante. So far I have thought I may never use them in conversation, but bet I could pick a babbler out of any distant airport just by eavesdropping...

4:28 am

Babbler

Lucky, you want Griff for that one!

*hands over to Griff* :D

4:29 am

Babbler

just looked at your biog, Lucky. You play the harp!!!?? Wow, how wonderful! :D

4:29 am

Griffums

I've already given it a couple of times so don't think it will help, but for anyone else: To move a great big rock, you need two things: (1) a lever. (2) an fu- something on which to balance the lever. The fu 6/33 is the plural of that thing.

4:30 am

Atalante

and yeah - hi everyone! I often get sidetracked looking up what weird words mean. I can't see any way I'd actually use half of them, but somehow its just nice to *know* them! OK ... when I get a chance later, I'll make a new thread and pick out a few from yesterday's monster to start the ball rolling!

4:30 am

Babbler

dictionary def for fu6/33: The point or support on which a lever pivots.

4:31 am

LUCKY

Griff ...fu...6/33 the third from the top??

4:31 am

Griffums

I keep forgetting you can post the dictionary def and remove all need for thinking about it!

4:31 am

Griffums

Yes, the third word.

4:31 am

Babbler

LOL!!! Griff, you're cracking me up today! :D

4:32 am

Babbler

Lucky, the fu6 is one of those words that's a plural, but doesn't end in an 's'.....

4:33 am

LUCKY

Babbler what's pivots ... ??

4:33 am

Babbler

aaaahhh, found that f....... :D

4:33 am

Griffums

Ha! Which one was it babb?

4:34 am

Babbler

it was fl5/16 : )

Lucky, the def for pivot: A person or thing on which something depends or turns; the central or crucial factor.

4:35 am

Babbler

as in an alt spelling for what birds do, Griff

4:35 am

MissyMe

Finally got it...forgot about how to pluraize it

4:35 am

Griffums

yep, somehow I figured that was the one

wuls, wulss

4:36 am

Babbler

LOL!!! stop it, you'll have me trying to enter them again!!! :D

4:36 am

Babbler

oh what the heck, why not eh? might be accepted this time..... :D

4:36 am

Griffums

It's like flessing your teeth you got to do it every day!

4:36 am

LUCKY

Geez you're giving me a hard time in plural! ... can you hear them crack?

4:37 am

Babbler

............. nope, I'm sad to report they were still rejected.... :D

4:37 am

Babbler

*giggles like mad* :D

4:37 am

Babbler

how many do you have left, Griff? I have 25...... and I'm making them last! LOL! :D

4:38 am

Griffums

Oh! Welllll, it's been a while since I looked:

I. Have.

7 more to go

4:39 am

Babbler

ooooooooooooooooooohhh!!! good going! :D

4:39 am

Griffums

Yeah, I'm just like Sprite. Well, Sprite in a coma.

4:40 am

Babbler

Sprite's amazing...... *in awe*

4:41 am

Griffums

She's like a savant without the idiot part.

4:41 am

LUCKY

61 words to go ... can someone fill ME in too??..
I'm pivoting round and round the fu 6/33

4:41 am

Griffums

Lucky, I think if you pasted that definition that babbler gave you straight into google, you would get the word without having to rub any brain cells together...

4:42 am

Babbler

Griff, you're right - I just did that, and saw the base word that Lucky needs.......... take it from there, Lucky
:D

4:42 am

Griffums

(I can't think of any way to do it except for the actual meaning of the word - there's no sounds-like, etc.)

4:43 am

Babbler

not unless you start singing old Boney M songs...... ; )

4:44 am

Griffums

Well, it's almost 2 am here, I'm up for anything...

4:45 am

MissyMe

lemme give it a go at the fu

first part: How you feel after a large meal?
second part sounds like: crayfish they way it's sounded down south, "craw"

4:45 am

Atalante

ra - ra - rasputin la la la la la *dances*

4:45 am

Griffums

wooooooo, now it's a PARTY!

4:45 am

MissyMe

lol

4:45 am

Babbler

Griff, I don't dare, in case I give the whole word away!
LOL! :D

4:46 am

Babbler

ACK NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Atalante!! How COULD you!!??

4:47 am

MissyMe

Lucky look at my last post...it might help

4:47 am

Griffums

Lucky - put this phrase in google:
The point or support on which a lever pivots.

4:47 am

Atalante

*giggles*

By the rivers of Babylon ... where we sat down ...

(My mother brought me up on Boney M - can you tell? :P)

4:47 am

Babbler

no Lucky, google the dictionary def I gave you, that will lead you to the base word. Put the base word in the ? dictionary, that will lead you to the plural.

: )

4:48 am

Babbler

The-eeere we wept,
when we remembered Zion......

(grew up on it myself!) :D

4:49 am

Griffums

Well, ya know, some of us were raised on the Bible too and them's the same words.... :)

4:49 am

Atalante

I think Rivers of Babylon is actually the first song I can remember really hearing. Either that or some old dodgy T-Rex song. My mother had *such* good taste ...!

4:49 am

Babbler

I know. A girl who could sing really well sang it at our school assembly one day. She was excellent. : D

4:50 am

Well, skipping down a few lines

Let the words of my typing be acceptable in Dr. God's sight....

4:51 am

Babbler

4:52 am

Babbler

4:54 am

Babbler

Griffums

Well, it's 2am and I hate to drop in (and stay for three and a half effin hours) and run, any other hints before I go? now that I know I'm not supposed to call them that other word because it's in the grid but I didn't realize it because it was the last stupid word I found...

5:01 am

Babbler

LOL!! Griff, I had that aaaaages ago!
I'm not after any clues, I wanna do what you did, find'em myself.
You off to bed now?

5:01 am

Babbler

5:02 am

Babbler

5:02 am

MissyMe

5:19 am

Bobsta

its really grim in Croydon, Grey skies and cloudy.

5:20 am

Atalante

we live an old oast house - and the main structure of it is wood - its always very disconcerting to hear the wood joists and beams creak and screech in the wind!

5:20 am

Babbler

oh no, I hope it's not heading north..... :/

5:21 am

Babbler

I've seen those, driving through your way, Atalante! They look gorgeous! : )

5:21 am

M3

Oh, and its nice and sunny here with blue skies. xx

5:22 am

Bobsta

5:22 am

MissyMe

M3 your icon is so cute :) Made me smile

Babbler

:D

5:22 am

Atalante

5:23 am

M3

MissyMe

5:34 am

Atalante

5:34 am

MissyMe

M3 lol Yeah we can use Babble for all kinds of diversions...hehe

5:35 am

MissyMe

Pets sure can give you a guilt complex when you eat in front of them...

5:35 am

Miyavi_fan

Ooh, looks like I arrived at a good time then :D

*joins Atalante's dog in the mournful wide-eyed stare*

5:36 am

Babbler

Miyavi_fan

Hey Babblerm! :D

5:37 am

Atalante

5:38 am

MissyMe

5:38 am

MissyMe

The puzzle or the chocolate?

Congrats! :)

5:38 am

Babbler

Miya, do I really want to watch CD:UK today? who's on, do you know? : )

5:39 am

Babbler

yum, thanks atalante! :D

5:39 am

Miyavi_fan

*crunching on chocolate* oooh...fank oo, Atalante :)

Babbler, nice one! :D *resists jealous outburst and hugs*

5:39 am

Babbler

thanks Missy : )

5:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, I'm too scared to watch CD:UK :) Got a paranoia that the Crazy Frog will rear his ugly head

5:40 am

Babbler

oh nooo, that crazy frog still around??? ugh!

5:42 am

Miyavi_fan

I know! I've got half a mind to create the crazy viper which will hopefully swallow him whole

5:42 am

Babbler

LOL!!! why don't you?? I'll bet there's a market out there already! :D

5:44 am

Miyavi_fan

*starts on sketch of the Crazy Viper*

5:45 am

Babbler

what song will it sing? something hissy........ *thinks* .....

5:45 am

LUCKY

Babbler since you've finished how about a clue for the last two in's in5/12 and in7/36 ... and since I'm related to the famous chocolate factory in Holland I'll throw in some chocolate bars ... milk or pure?

5:45 am

Babbler

the Crasssssssssssssssy Viper......... ;D

5:46 am

Miyavi_fan

*unfortunately* the Viper is mute. Can't take any more badly animated 'singing' animals.

Since when do frogs beep?

5:46 am

Babbler

oooh ooooh pure choc please!!

*dashes off to get the clues*

5:46 am

Miyavi_fan

*clapping*

5:47 am

LUCKY

Babbler pure choc in bunches * trown in your lap*

The best medicine is chocolate!

5:47 am

Babbler

ok, in5 is a strange word (well to me anyway), def is: To bury or entomb; inter.
the in7 is the past tense.

HOWEVER, take your in6 that sounds like a doktor (misspelt), drop the cross letter, you'll have it....

5:48 am

Babbler

LOL Miya, just saw your post re beeping frogs!!! :D

5:49 am

Babbler

euw, Bobsta, it's clouding over here now.... : (

5:50 am

5:58 am

Bobsta

6:06 am

lshult

6:07 am

Babbler

unos dos tres, quatro cinqo cinqo seis!!!!!

6:07 am

Miyavi_fan

6:07 am

Babbler

hi lshult :D

6:08 am

Miyavi_fan

Oooh Babbler, flowing wild and free :D

6:08 am

Babbler

I know, Miya, I remember the song! :D

6:08 am

Bobsta

ahh i see. i still wouldn't mind having a listen to him though.

6:09 am

Miyavi_fan

ah, I'm gonna be singing it all day now :D

...And all the girls say he's pretty fly, for a white guy...

6:11 am

Miyavi_fan

uh huh...I've got a link to one of his PV's, Pop is Dead...random song, I translated it and was all, "what the hell?!" still a great song though :)
http://www.youtube.com/?v= PjWetSP4qik
the PV can cause seizures though :D very colourful!

6:12 am

Babbler

I bet my neighbours downstairs are awake now!!! :D

oooh, what's this other link....?

6:13 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, that's an actual song of his, Pop is dead :) Seizure-inducing PV :D

6:14 am

Babbler

............ uploading........... :)

6:14 am

Miyavi_fan

...though with thirty seconds of random tv stuff for the first bit of the song, which makes no sense and never will :)

6:14 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, you know I've always loved you :D

6:15 am

Babbler

right back at ya!!!! :D

6:17 am

Bobsta

6:17 am

Miyavi_fan

*big cheesy grin* can't get Pretty Fly out of my head now. Unfortunately, I saw a fan vid for a band called Antic Cafe this morning, with Alice Cooper's song, Poison. So now that's also stuck in there!

6:17 am

Miyavi_fan

*again, squashing Bobsta in bone-crushing hug*

6:18 am

lshult

Hows everyone doing with the 7's & 8's today. So far I've only stumbled on the fu combo?

Bobsta

6:19 am

Miyavi_fan

*loosens grip slightly, but refuses to let go*

6:20 am

Bobsta

6:20 am

lottijw

Hi everyone :)

6:20 am

Miyavi_fan

bleurgh...Ishult, I don't wanna think about the 7 and 8's. Maybe if I ignore them they'll go away?

6:21 am

Babbler

WOW Miya!!! THAT was amazing!!!
To me, it was like Dee-Lite, meets Nine Inch Nails, meets drum'n'bass.......... GOTTA watch it again! :D

6:21 am

MissyMe

Hi lotti :)

6:21 am

Miyavi_fan

*big cheesy grin*

6:22 am

Miyavi_fan

*POUNCES on Babbler, knocking her to the groud in massive hug, sobbing, thinking Babbler is most wonderful woman in the world*

6:22 am

Babbler

I'm not kidding, the visuals were superb! I don't think I've ever seen anything like it! :D

6:22 am

Miyavi_fan

6:25 am

lottijw

Are you doing it on youtube??

6:25 am

Miyavi_fan

*still wrapped firmly around Babbler* Be warned though, I watched the PV ten times in a row, went to be with a massive migraine! Had to practically live in a dark room for a day...so worth it though :D

6:25 am

lottijw

See ya later Ishult :)

6:25 am

MissyMe

k Night lshult :)

6:26 am

Miyavi_fan

Lotti, yup. The day I discovered youtube was the day I discovered a second religion! (just kidding, God)

Babbler! :D I love the Engrish involved...I don't think even he knows what he means when he says "how simple eat in get? don't you?"

6:27 am

Miyavi_fan

Have a good sleep Ishult! :)

6:28 am

lshult

Missyme- it's only 2:30 in the afternoon here, but I appreciate the sentiment

6:29 am

MissyMe

I didn't pay attetion to your flag. :)

6:30 am

lshult

later

6:30 am

Babbler

nite lshult! :D

6:31 am

Babbler

Gosh, Miya, I really loved that video! wish I had a DVD camera and an editing suite................ : (

6:31 am

Babbler

oops, good afternoon, lshult! :D

6:32 am

lottijw

Miyavi it is a good one that.....i can`t figure out how to pause it till its fully loaded so i get the broken up version, similar sound to the chilli`s!!

6:32 am

Babbler

play it again, Lotti, it might have uploaded fully by now :)

6:33 am

lottijw

Ok....back in a few mins :)

6:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, I'm so glad you liked it! (gee, could you tell?)
Lotti, along the little grey bar at the bottom there's the little triangle which means it's playing, if you click on that, it pauses it :)

Wargh! Haven't remembered my manners! How are you today, Lotti?

6:33 am

Babbler

it's like punk..... but on a few decades (which it is!!!)

6:35 am

Babbler

yes, the Engrish is a bit stilted! :D

6:38 am

Miyavi_fan

:D Oh well...how simple eat in get?! don't you?!
Poor fool :D It's been worse though, he tried to answer an interview question in English, and said he was feeling "very sort of like a tall duck"

6:39 am

Babbler

LOL!! I wonder what he meant to say?!?! :D

6:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, God knows! I think it's partly the accent though...in his first major live, he told the crowd he'd be playing a song on an 'acoustie gweeter'. He meant acoustic guitar...I think...

6:40 am

lottijw

LOL Miyavi!!!! Anyway thanks for asking, i`m great :)
No triangle that i can see but never mind.....it`s great stuff though :)

6:41 am

Babbler

LOL!!! :D love it!

6:42 am

macadam

Hi Miyavi.Still peeping I see.

6:43 am

lottijw

He`s an energetic little guy for sure :)

6:43 am

Miyavi_fan

*pulls Lotti into the hug with Babbler and Bobsta* :D

Babbler, I think that's one of the reasons I love him so much! Like when I was translating his Christmassy song, Jingle Bell Kari, I found he was saying "so, jingle your nose! tissues? have all you like" in English...o_O

6:44 am

Miyavi_fan

Lotti, that's one way of putting it! *huggles poster of miyavi*

Hey Mac! :D

6:45 am

Babbler

LOL! I'm trying to think what he intended to say, but I can't figure it out! :D

6:47 am

macadam

is this a training school for Miyavi fan club?

6:50 am

Miyavi_fan

Well, of course it is. I'll give you my autograph if you like, but no pushing now!

...

Oh. You meant THAT Miyavi. *puts away pen*

6:51 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, I don't think even he knows!

6:52 am

lottijw

Right, time for coffee and hair straightening!!!! See you all later (((hugs))) all round :) See ya !!!

7:00 am

Miyavi_fan

*signs bit of paper* There you go, li'l lady :D

Oh dear. All this talk of Miyavi has turned me into Elvis

7:02 am

macadam

WOWEE I have a Miyavi autograph.It will be worth a fortune soon but I WON`T SELL.It`s all mine.

7:03 am

Babbler

7:03 am

Miyavi_fan

7:04 am

Miyavi_fan

7:04 am

Babbler

7:05 am

Miyavi_fan

Woo Babbler! You'll have to have a strong stomach then :D

7:06 am

7:07 am

Babbler

RIGHT, I have just RUINED my eyebrows......... can't go out till they grow back......... : (

7:07 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, I'll leave that to Dir en Grey! When it comes to emotionally scarring PV's, nobody does it like Kyo :)

7:08 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh Babbler, what did you do?!

7:08 am

macadam

I never really liked Elvis.Roy Wood more my type.Now I like Darkness.But Barry White still sends shivers down the spine as does Frank Sinatra and Queen..I adore Mick Hucknell .Kinda mixed and I could go on .

7:09 am

Miyavi_fan

If you wanna go on, you go on! Nothing ever stops me :D

7:10 am

Babbler

oh, Miya : ( I had my eyebrows done by a beautician a few weeks back, right? Well, I let them grow, and then I thought I'll get them tidied no probs.......... only I've overdone one, and the other one doesn't look right...
: (

7:11 am

Babbler

ooooh oooh macadam, Mick Hucknall has a gorgeous voice!
:D

7:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, thought you meant you'd burnt them off or something :D Ah well...my eyebrows are blond, so nobody can see them!

7:12 am

Babbler

mine are dark........... :'( *sniff*

7:12 am

macadam

The problem now is do you match the eyebrows and say it`s the new trend or shave them off or........

7:12 am

Babbler

that's just what I was thinking, macadam. Luckily, my fringe covers the wonky one....... :/

7:13 am

Miyavi_fan

make some fake ones out of glue and construction paper :D

7:13 am

macadam

You just have to avoid windy days! ;)

7:13 am

Babbler

LOL miya!! thanks for cheering me up! :)

7:14 am

7:14 am

Babbler

7:15 am

Miyavi_fan

My pleasure! I love seeing the smiles on other peoples faces...

oh, who am I kidding. It's the gratitude and hero-worship that I love

7:15 am

macadam

Tape down the fringe,go with the bandana fad.Dazzle with tinsel.........

7:16 am

Babbler

*sulks*, now I'll NEVER look like Aishwarya Rai.... : (

7:16 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Macadam! I think I'll make myself some green ones :)
Babbler, that's the spirit :) You could go all out on the hair front, and grow a beard and moustache!

7:16 am

Babbler

7:16 am

macadam

Big hugs for you both whatever the reason.

Babbler

7:17 am

Miyavi_fan

7:18 am

Miyavi_fan

*big hug for Mac* ah, we love you Mac, we do...

7:19 am

Miyavi_fan

Ooh, you should have kept it! Then we could have made everyone display a pic of their eyes!

7:44 am

Babbler

I was thinking of that, as an idea for a theme day, Miya!
:D

7:45 am

Babbler

my good eyebrow wasn't too bad, was it? I went to check in the bathroom mirror. The other one, however.....

Miyavi_fan

Wow Babbler, that's beautiful!

8:56 am

Trotters

Lucky, there's only one le5

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

8:57 am

MissyMe

Okay. There's only one le 5/10 I see on my list is the plural of the one above...which means to stare lustfully at someone. :)

8:58 am

movieman

What are everyone's opinions re: Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy...?

Are they a load of old crap with too many boring bits, or are they among the greatest epics ever put to celluloid?

Personally, I'd go with the latter...

Also, how many of U R looking forward to seeing wot the great one can do with the great ape?

8:58 am

Babbler

thanks Miya!!! work in progress..... still scribbling on it!
:D

8:59 am

Babbler

movieman, have you seen Road to Perdition? what do you think of it?

8:59 am

9:00 am

Babbler

right, Miya, like my eyebrows, I think I've gone and RUINED it!............ : (

9:00 am

movieman

Yes, I have seen it, it's quite good, but as far as gangster films go, it's no Godfather or GoodFellas...

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

I thought it was a good film but it's not a movie for everyone

9:00 am

Marc Freeman

Any clues on the fu7/44 or any that build up to it. I have all the fu that relate to oil and gas and the what you put in to heat your house but the ones in between i need help with.

9:00 am

Miyavi_fan

I think they're pretty good. Golem annoys the hell out of me though. If you ask me, he's a close relation to the crazy frog

9:00 am

Babbler

agreed........... but I thought the cinematography was bar none. : )

9:00 am

Miyavi_fan

Babbler, no! It's gorgeous!

9:01 am

Very creepy for the majority of arachnophobes...

Yoink

Hi Ishult, decided to join in with the football badges today eh?

2:39 pm

Hi Ishult. Oh, that's what it is.

2:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

Later Lotti :)

2:42 pm

lshult

If you can't beat em.....

2:43 pm

Yoink

If you can't beat em... play for West Ham?

LOL, just kidding, I like the Hammers

2:44 pm

lshult

good result today for liverpool

2:46 pm

Yoink

Yeah, pretty decent game and finally a goal for Peter Crouch, and West Ham have Birmingham on monday evening, should be 3 points for you there

2:46 pm

mab

Into the drink for me finally. Hope you had pleasant shabbat, Ishult, night all.

2:47 pm

Yoink

Goodnight Mab :)

2:47 pm

Miyavi_fan

Night Mab :)

2:48 pm

lshult

won't get to see it. most English games are only on pay-per-veiw here, just like in England.

2:50 pm

Yoink

It depends what you mean by pay-per-view, you need a satellite or cable subscription to see all the premiership games but then there is about 40% of the live games shown that are PPV on top of that

2:50 pm

lshult

Thats it, finished.
Time for bed, but before I go , anyone need any clues?

2:53 pm

lshult

Football coverage is about the same here, but living on a Kibbutz, we have a group deal for our cabel and there just arn't enough Brits to persude the others to spend the money. If I got desperate enough I could go to town and watch in a bar.

2:53 pm

speedfreak sam

Only one left - ru6 - already have one that sounds like fu6. Can't get this one try as I might.

2:54 pm

Yoink

Sam, a compunded word, ru* meaning faster than a walk, and then *** meaning allow

2:55 pm

lshult

ru6- to move at speed + to allow

2:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

*sighs* Being beaten by a nine-year-old! How humiliating :) Nah, you go Sam!

2:56 pm

Dachef

Hi peeps!

Congrats Ishult - any chance of the el5/10? Driving me the proverbial....

2:56 pm

speedfreak sam

Yoink and Ishult - I owe you.
Just discovered Babblers Anonymous this evening - makes life a little easier doesn't it?

2:56 pm

Yoink

Dachef, e followed by a 4 letter word for fluff

2:57 pm

Yoink

Now I have to go and rescue my pizza before it burns, goodnight everyone

2:57 pm

lshult

for e5, Yoink's clue is all you'll need

2:57 pm

speedfreak sam

Miyavi-fan - don't be discouraged - Speedfreak Sam is a joint enterprise between dad and son - very bonding, although mum is a little dismayed.

3:00 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Dachef :)
Sam, I'm still very very jealous :) Ah, not really, way to go!

3:00 pm

lshult

Yoink- just looked at your profile and saw where you are from. Shouldn't you have a Wigan badge for an icon and be crying into your beer?

3:02 pm

Yoink

Ishult, it's a family thing, my mother's side are all from Liverpool and I have no loyalty at all for Wigan when Liverpool are involved.

Now I am really going.

3:02 pm

lshult

me to , nite all

3:02 pm

Dachef

call me Mr Thickey, but am not getting the fluff reference for the el5/10! Sorry! Any other clues that do not refer to fluff products?

3:04 pm

lshult

e5- f5/16 and change first letter

3:05 pm

Dachef

gottit. Thanx Ishult - did not try to go that way! Doh! Self-chastisation of the fishy kind may be in order...

3:06 pm

lshult

really am going now, promise.
nite all

3:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

Dachef, why hurt yourself when others are so willing to do it for you? *chases Dachef brandishing fish*

3:08 pm

Dachef

careful Miy - I normally have to pay for that kind of thing.

3:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

Dachef!!! The innocence of youth!!! :D

3:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah, now you've made me blush!

3:13 pm

Dachef

there is no such thing as innocence. We are all born with original sin. Therefore we should all be locked up. Or, at the very least, get flagellated with fish on a regular basis!

3:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

*resists urge to yell out "Dachef, you animal!"*

3:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah, whatever.

Hi Torgone. Lotti was here earlier and she said to give you this (((((((((((((((xxx)))))))))))) )))))))). So, um,

mab

Oh, my! I feel strangely swoony.

6:01 pm

torgone

I did it right, then . .

6:01 pm

mab

I just came back to finish and it is very quiet here. Some people evidently have lives outside the puzzle. What a concept.

6:05 pm

torgone

I can't imagine ..

6:07 pm

Jo

Hey everyone - Mab, I've been in the puzzle. Don't talk much anymore ... too hard to stay active in the group. Better to just hunt for my clues quietly.

6:09 pm

mab

Yes, mutiney (sp( I say. Although, I myself am planning to get some vigorous reading in this evening. I suppose it will be downhill from there. Next thing you know I'll be actually leaving the house to watch movies in theaters. The hard stuff.

6:10 pm

Jo

enjoy, Mab!! I love to read myself. Today has been a holiday-day. My son and I assembled our Advent calendar, the season has officially started now!

6:10 pm

mab

I agree Jo. It's difficult to chat and hunt at the same time.

6:11 pm

Jo

The themes were it for me ... too much work for a game I use to destress.

6:12 pm

doxy1lover

finished. any one need hints?

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

i feel silly skkking for this one - but here goes. i have the two ac 4's that come from a playing card, and the skin disease one...don't know why acer is not a word....cannot find the last one!

6:26 pm

torgone

EasternBlue

Towl - those are usually the ones that drive you crazy trying every letter combo...just happened w/ me & the ne's...I felt like the ne 4/5 when I found it!

6:27 pm

mab

You musut still have daylight there, torgone. And it is warm. I, on the other hand, am freezing and it's been night for hours. Snow is predicted to begin falling after midnight -- one to four inches!

It's so discouraging. At least in D.C. one knows it will not get horribly cold and that any snow will probably melt right away. I do want to go back.

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, tor...ty eb i have that one : )

6:28 pm

EasternBlue

*blushes*
would help if I read the right starting letters...

6:35 pm

renfield

6:39 pm

mab

If you have the words in your list, don't worry about the stats grid. It sometimes doesn't catch up for awhile. You might try logging off and back in again.

6:39 pm

torgone

What are you saying, mlaureli - You count 17 "s" words that you have entered, but the stats grid only shows 16?
Try logging out logging out and then back in.

6:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty all!

6:52 pm

EasternBlue

(of course...I also know multiple verses to almost every Christmas carol!!)...

6:53 pm

mab

I think it is warmer outside your house, torgone, than it is inside mine. Literally. It is not fair.

Well, that sounds fun, Rennie - dancing. I love to dance.

6:54 pm

EasternBlue

renny - too true...ooo...and White Christmas...Holiday Inn...Meet Me In St. Louis...(the list could go on!!)

6:55 pm

mab

Oooo, I love Holiday Inn

6:55 pm

renfield

eb - that is a true talent ! 8)

6:55 pm

mab

In spite of Bing Crosby, that is.

6:56 pm

renfield

oh yes - christmas in conn.

6:56 pm

EasternBlue

you denounce BING???

*look of shock and horror*

6:57 pm

mab

Can't stand the Bing.

6:57 pm

EasternBlue

put a knife in my heart and say you don't like Frank's Christmas album....

6:57 pm

EasternBlue

renny - another goodie!!

6:58 pm

EasternBlue

mab - I'll forgive you your one flaw!! 8 D

6:58 pm

mab

I love Sinatra. He saved the musical version of Philadelphia Story, he and Louis Armstrong.

And Astair saved Holiday Inn.

6:59 pm

EasternBlue

mab - you're back on my 'good' list!!

6:59 pm

EasternBlue

Astaire joke...

Who is a better dancer than Fred Astaire?

6:59 pm

mab

Phew.

7:01 pm

mab

Bing was such a bad actor and I can't stand his voice. As a romantic interest in a film he makes my skin crawl.

7:01 pm

renfield

i love all of fred astair's movies! he makes dancing look so easy!

7:01 pm

Narnia_fan

Hello again

7:01 pm

renfield

how about bing & bob in the road shows?

7:01 pm

EasternBlue

Ans.

Ginger Rogers...she did everything he did but backwards and in high heels!! : )

7:02 pm

mab

Like Grace Kelly is going to fall for Bing. Please.

7:02 pm

torgone

EB - Who?

7:02 pm

mab

Not a big fan.

7:02 pm

EasternBlue

Renny - never really watched those...it's the sentimentality of the christmas movies that get me!

7:02 pm

renfield

yes - how about elanore powell's dancing?

7:03 pm

torgone

Mab - Seriously. Bad casting.

7:04 pm

renfield

oh yes - sorry went from holiday movies -to dancing and comedy - sorry changed horses in mid stream

7:05 pm

EasternBlue

renny...it was a tributary on the river...i kept up with the flow! : )

7:05 pm

Narnia_fan

Ren, your pic is funny ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry, but it is Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

7:06 pm

EasternBlue

(tor - my answer was in a post 3 before your ??)

7:06 pm

torgone

Yep, EB - log lag.

7:07 pm

renfield

thanks - and i like it too! 8) ya gotta stay happy!

7:08 pm

mab

A movie that I like, but wonder at is Young at Heart. Sinatra plays an existentially challenged wretch who marries a very bubbly Doris Day. And, she is about three times big than he. But I love them both, so I'm just bearly able to make the leap.

7:08 pm

Narnia_fan

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:10 pm

EasternBlue

mab - I'll have to look for that one...never saw it before.

7:10 pm

7:12 pm

EasternBlue

7:12 pm

renfield

mab - it that the one where doris is in an accident?

7:13 pm

mab

There is even a Christmas scene for you EB, in Young at Heart.

7:14 pm

mab

Probably, but it's Frank who's in the accident.

7:14 pm

EasternBlue

i'll have to remember the next time i'm looking for a good movie to rent!

7:19 pm

mab

It is worth watching just to see the disproportion between Frank and Doris (who was supporsed to marry Gig Young- more her size).

7:20 pm

EasternBlue

reminds me of the Lily Tomlin movie in the early '80's (title escapes me at the moment!)

7:21 pm

mab

The Incredible Shrinking Woman?

7:21 pm

EasternBlue

yeah...that was it! (oooo...my brain is tired today!)

7:28 pm

7:36 pm

gardengirl

7:37 pm

Narnia_fan

If someone sends you a pic, how do you get that on, because you have to type in a website right?

7:37 pm

EasternBlue

gg - those are the ones you have to look out for later! 8 )

7:38 pm

gardengirl

that's for sure EB

7:39 pm

torgone

hilaryfan - You can also upload a pic from your computer. Not all kinds of pics will work though.

7:39 pm

Narnia_fan

How do you do that tor?

7:39 pm

EasternBlue

I was a preschool teacher at one time...this one boy had the cutest smile (would melt your heart) but so mischevious! (he was also one of my favs...) : )

7:40 pm

gardengirl

amazing isn't it... what a smile can do?

7:41 pm

EasternBlue

I can't wait to have some of my own...

7:42 pm

Narnia_fan

I have a boyfriend, and his smile is so AWESOME! i am only 11, if you are wondering.

7:42 pm

torgone

Right below the box to enter a URL is the box to brouse your own computer.

7:43 pm

Narnia_fan

I was wondering what that was thanks!

7:43 pm

EasternBlue

hil - you would have to save the picture to you computer first (desktop or your "C" drive)...then follow Tor's instructions...

7:51 pm

8:07 pm

mamabear

meliskia - do you know about the "2 letter list" ??? Click on the Babblers Anonymous link over at the right of your screen, then on General and Todays Puzzle - scroll down and there is a list of all the words that are in the puzzle each day, listed by first 2 letters, # of letters and point value. Print this out and cross off as you go - very helpful!

8:07 pm

mamabear

oh, sorry, Temple!!! I will go easy on you tonite!

8:07 pm

EasternBlue

spatial...cute tree!

meliskia - if you look under Babblers Anonymous (link on the right side) and then General - Stats...the 'second letter list" is posted there - gives you the first 2 letters then the total number of letters in the word + point value for the word

8:08 pm

EasternBlue

mama - great minds think alike!

8:35 pm

MissyMe

Hi all :)

8:36 pm

mab

Hi Missy. Precious icon.

8:36 pm

spatialbean

hi missy!

8:36 pm

MissyMe

I have a wonderful mandolin...it was made by hand for my first son...it has his initials cut out in the base of it for the opening under the strings :)

8:37 pm

MissyMe

Thank you Mab. :) and hi

Hi spatial :)

8:37 pm

pbr

i'm missing a fu6/30 any suggestions? still working onf both 7's and 8.s also

8:39 pm

MissyMe

pbr fu6/30 as an alien would say... "Resistence is fu****", earthling"

8:40 pm

Yoink

Mama, no-one needs a mandolin, but no-one needs any instrument if you really think abou it. My mandolin is a thing of beauty and i can play shaky version of greensleeves on it, a wandering minstrel i may yet make!

8:41 pm

MissyMe

Which 7 and which 8 are you working on in the fu's?

8:43 pm

MissyMe

Yoink...all you need now is long blonde hair, and a life-time membership to any Renaissance Faires and some pointy ears. :)

8:44 pm

mab

And shoes with toes that are pointy and curled.

8:45 pm

MissyMe

Yoink...looks like we have your life all laid out before you. :)

8:47 pm

Yoink

Phew, I'm glad someone has...

8:48 pm

Mule

Does anyone have any clues for the el5/12 or fu6/33. I may just be dense today, but I can't for the life of me figure them out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

8:49 pm

pbr

MissyMe - thx for the clue on fu6 -- I need both 7's and 8's. I got a rather late start today, so only as far as this. Oh well, will do what I can.

8:50 pm

mab

Put an e in front of your lu4/5, Mule.

8:51 pm

Mule

Thanks Mab! Don't know how I missed that one.

8:51 pm

Yoink

So, anyone got some bleach and ear extensions thy can lend me?

8:52 pm

MissyMe

fu 7/ 44 An animal that has no hair is fu*****
fu 7/ 48 An house heating appliance
fu 8/ 70 Plural of above
fu 8/ 65 Past tense of above

8:52 pm

mab

The lu that is a musical instrument.

FU6 is past tense of your flag word.

8:53 pm

pbr

MissyMe, you make it seem so simple -- moving on! thx

8:53 pm

Mule

I have that one mab...are there two fu6/33's?

8:53 pm

MissyMe

Yw :)

8:54 pm

mamabear

Yoink, I was just teasing... I absolutely love music and admire anyone who can play any instrument... I am happy for you and your new musical acquisition - I hope you enjoy playing it, I really do!

8:55 pm

MissyMe

lol Yoink! There may be some leftovers from LoTR clubs at garage sales...

8:55 pm

mab

May I have a clue on se5, please?

8:56 pm

Mule

Se/5 .....& Roebuck

8:56 pm

Mule

Or a plural burning

8:56 pm

mab

Thanks Mule.

8:58 pm

Mule

This last Fu is driving me mad (madder, anyway)!!!

8:58 pm

Mule

Madder?!? I must be tired...

8:59 pm

mab

Oh, Mule, I must be missing the same fu5.

8:59 pm

MissyMe

fu 6/ 33 The plural of the pivot point of a lever
fu 6/ 33 The past tense of fu 4/ 8 which has to do with how you display a flag

9:00 pm

Mule

It's the only one I have left. This always happens.

9:01 pm

mamabear

fu 6/33 - "The point or support on which a lever pivots"

9:02 pm

Mule

Thanks MissyMe. I can't believe I couldn't figure that out. You're a lifesaver. You too mab. Now I can take a nap!!!

9:03 pm

MissyMe

Mule

put an "e" in front of li4/4 to get el5/10

9:03 pm

MissyMe

Yw :)

9:05 pm

Yoink

Mamabear, don't worry, I can be thick skinned (about some things)
And Missyme, if there is I'll probably find them on Ebay! *mutters stupid ebay and paypal*

9:05 pm

pbr

In8 ?? help

9:06 pm

Mule

plural of In6/21

9:06 pm

MissyMe

Yoink Dang I forgot schlocky ole eBay. hehe

9:08 pm

mamabear

I feel bad, Yoink, I really didn't mean to come across as downplaying your purchase... I really didn't.

9:09 pm

MissyMe

Mammbear you're a doll to worry like that but it seems Yoink just had a good laugh. :)

9:09 pm

gardengirl

Yoink... I say YEAH to ebay and paypal! :-)

9:09 pm

pbr

Mule ty

9:10 pm

Jo

Has there been a clue for the in 8?

9:11 pm

MissyMe

garden girl I couldn't say Yay to PayPal until I canceled my credit card with them. There is nothing on their site that allows you to cancel a subscription to something. Canceling was the only way I could make them stop making payments to three website subscriptions I no longer wanted

9:12 pm

Yoink

Mama, please don't think I took offense! I have had stick from all close to me about my crazy purchase but it just so happens that I am happy with it!

Gardengirl, paypal should have a breathalizer....

9:12 pm

gardengirl

oh... that's not good. I have only used it a few times for making payments for purchases on ebay.

9:12 pm

MissyMe

in 8/ 50 This is the past tense of in 6/ 21: The word sounds something like what you would call a resident doctor...sounds the same...spelling different

9:13 pm

Jo

Thanks, Missy ... its always obvious, gosh darned it.

9:14 pm

MissyMe

Yw Jo. :) And it's only obvious AFTER you finally get it. hehe

9:20 pm

MissyMe

Gardengirl I think as long as you stick to using PayPal for single purchases only you'll be okay

9:25 pm

Yoink

Yeah, single purchases of mandolins!

9:26 pm

pbr

how 'bout the li8? pls

9:27 pm

gardengirl

well I must be off - good night all.

9:27 pm

harpjane

hurshy

9:39 pm

Yoink

Harpjane do you actually play the harp? (be aware that I will be in awe of you if you do!)

9:39 pm

Minski

Thanks Hurshy and Renfield.
got them all.

9:40 pm

renfield

great minski!

9:41 pm

harpjane

Yoink--yes. But save the awe. I'm pretty normal. Harp is just sort of a hobby that got out of hand!

9:41 pm

harpjane

Or you could write your expressions of awe on the back of a $100 bill and send them to me!

9:42 pm

Minski

No, no, no, I'm not done. I jsut got all the E words. Still have 35 some odd words to go.

9:45 pm

renfield

hurshy

9:46 pm

spatialbean

oh harpjane i was gonna get a scully and mulder icon. i shoulda. we would go together then.

9:46 pm

MissyMe

I can play along with that. But I won't harp on anything...pretty mild mannered here

9:46 pm

hurshy

the key is to just have fun.

9:47 pm

harpjane

spatial-other than Twin Peaks, the X Files was the best thing on TV in the 90's.

9:47 pm

spatialbean

9:48 pm

hurshy

9:48 pm

MissyMe

I enjoyed X-files....just got the complete series of DVD for Xmas for my oldest son who is also a fan.

My fav TV show is Stargate SGI :)

9:49 pm

MissyMe

Hurshy...you know of any that aren't charging anything? hehe

9:49 pm

Yoink

Harpjane, ok I'll save my awe for your playing. Whereas now I'll just see i8f anyone wants one of my mandolin oranges *ducks*

9:49 pm

spatialbean

I LOVE Stargate. I've been without tv for over a year and I am dying for stargate.

9:50 pm

harpjane

No, but I have a neighbor who's selling grapefruit for the band....

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Good evening, my friends-- how are we tonight?

9:50 pm

spatialbean

Hi Woof!

9:51 pm

MissyMe

Oh man...you poor baby. This past year's episodes were very enjoyable - I got used to the few changes in cast members and am now comfortable with their roles. I'm sure the actors can say the same. :)

9:51 pm

hurshy

2nd and 3rd sc5s are like a "sc5" from a movie, but change last letter

9:51 pm

spatialbean

Is Jack on at all anymore?

9:52 pm

MissyMe

GreyWoulf

Missy -- pretty good

9:52 pm

spatialbean

Oooh I love email.

9:52 pm

MissyMe

On and off. His appearances are appreciated and really help the story along - in other words, he's not just putting in a token appearance for the fans

9:52 pm

hurshy

because there's always room for cello

9:53 pm

chic

All hail Stargate fans, no Jack is not on much this season

9:53 pm

MissyMe

Hurshy You are very puny :)

9:53 pm

hurshy

or am i just brassy and full of wind?

9:54 pm

hurshy

but i suppose anyone who doesn't like it can just tune me out

9:54 pm

MissyMe

Depends on how instrumental you are in presenting yourself

9:54 pm

MissyMe

Hi chic :)

9:54 pm

renfield

9:55 pm

hurshy

9:58 pm

chic

Missyme, I don't know...

9:59 pm

renfield

where is joelgee? we need his melodic line in this

10:00 pm

hurshy

i haven't seen joelgee in quite some time. i'm very sad.

10:00 pm

10:03 pm

MissyMe

Nite Hurshy :)

10:04 pm

Yoink

Umm, I'm pretty tuned in right now..

10:05 pm

MissyMe

Chic...it just looks like one of those Nasa-we-wish-things-would-go-t his-way computer drawings of one of their land rovers. :) Funny, I downloaded a bunch of Mars and Beagle pics from various science sites last night. I was in a wallpaper mood.

10:06 pm

chic

Missyme, It was I think someones rendition of the Stargate...

10:07 pm

harpjane

Ok. I'll rise to the occasion. An a,c,e walk into a bar. The bartender says......

10:07 pm

harpjane

"Sorry I don't serve minors!"

10:08 pm

renfield

that was sharp harp

10:09 pm

MissyMe

Oh okay...I kinda see that now...the gate in the background with the controller device for it in the front

10:12 pm

chic

missyme,refresh...

10:14 pm

MissyMe

Refresh doesn't work for me. People have to refresh their icons on their "edit icons" page before they come back to this page in order for me to see their new icon. :)

10:16 pm

chic

go out and come back...

10:17 pm

harpjane

Hurshy--I went to an upscale restaurant. Really.

10:17 pm

Minski

I am only missing one L word.
It is the second LA 4/5.
I have what you do with your shoes, what your house sits on, what airplanes do when they come in to the airport, and a man's name.
Thanks.

10:18 pm

MissyMe

Did that too. :) I'll try rebooting comp brb

10:19 pm

DarleenMB

la5.. plural of bug juice used to make shel***

10:20 pm

MissyMe

la 4/ 5 Sounds like when you don't have something you la** it. Drop the last consenant and pluralize it

10:20 pm

harpjane

UL 5?

10:20 pm

DarleenMB

well I meant la4/5 and shel***

blonde moment

10:21 pm

MissyMe

ul 5/ 14 a sore spot in your tummy when you're a stressed kind of person

10:21 pm

renfield

la 4 = 1st la 4 replace last vowel w/ a consonent

10:22 pm

Minski

THanks Darleen and Missy. I swear I tried that and it wasn't accepted but who really knows?

Hi again Darleen.

10:22 pm

harpjane

thank you missy!

10:22 pm

DarleenMB

Hi again Minsk... :-)

10:23 pm

MissyMe

Yw Harpjane :)

Minski...did you finally get it put in?

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi again, folks -- my next door neighbors whom I haven't talked to in about a week and a half came home so I ambushed them to say hi and invite them over tomorrow night, so sorry for the sudden departure :)

10:28 pm

Minski

Yep. Now I'm working on the Rs. I have 20 words left to find.

10:29 pm

ohromujici

Hey GW. How are you? I just got home from my office Christmas Party <ohro starts barfing>.

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

That good, huh, ohro?

I'm doing ok -- looks like I will be working for McDonalds parttime to pay the bills :}

10:31 pm

spatialbean

Oh no you gotta go sit with the drunk mandolin guy.

10:32 pm

spatialbean

Yes I want fries with that.

10:33 pm

MissyMe

GW...lol I'm imagining you ambusing them in your animal form hehe

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Would you like to super size those fries?

10:34 pm

ohromujici

It was painful. It was several hours of watching my drunken co-workers re-live their youth while dancing to 1960's classic hits. There isn't enough beer in the western hemisphere to take that memory away.

10:34 pm

renfield

hey gw - whatever it takes - right?

10:34 pm

spatialbean

Geez yeah I want super size fries. Ugh I love their fries.

10:34 pm

MissyMe

According to the Supersize Me movie, McDonald's introduced a policy where you're not supposed to offer supersizes any more...is that true?

10:34 pm

ohromujici

Congrats on the new job by the way. When do you start?

10:35 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Missy --- except I wouldn't do that solo, Peter is a Wolf and Tony is a Bear -- I would get eaten alive :)

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

exactly, ren :)

I don't know when I will start so I have no clue on official policy, but I do remember hearing that myself, Missy

10:36 pm

MissyMe

hehe Wolf...you're neighborhood must be pretty noisy at night and especially during full moons

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Missy - you should have seen where I came from!

10:38 pm

MissyMe

Mogli...is that you???!!

:)

10:40 pm

Minski

Can someone please help me with the 2nd RE 5/10? I have the plural of backsides. Thanks.

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

The Jungle Book was one of my Favorite books when I growing up, Missy

10:41 pm

harpjane

Minski-related to the kidney

10:41 pm

renfield

2nd re is is singular of the plural of backsides

10:42 pm

Minski

THanks Harpjane and Renfield.
Got it. On to the S words.

10:43 pm

Narnia_fan

hi gw

10:43 pm

renfield

oops - sorry 2nd re 5 is region of the kidneys

10:44 pm

MissyMe

I never read the book, (wow I missed that one, puts it on her to-get list), but I did see the Disney happiness version. :)

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi hilaryfan -- hows life treating you these days?

10:44 pm

renfield

hey hil - do you know who this icon is?

10:45 pm

Narnia_fan

no

10:45 pm

spatialbean

Where do you come from GW?

10:45 pm

Narnia_fan

bob dylan?

10:46 pm

renfield

jake blues from the blues brothers

10:46 pm

spatialbean

Oh Long Island. West Islip?

10:46 pm

Narnia_fan

i have no idea who those people are. i am only 11!!!!!!!!

10:47 pm

GreyWoulf

Missy - actually, the Disney version is pretty close to the first part of the book. Just has more songs and less explicit violence ;) It is actually the other Mowgli stories that help you fully understand the culture a bit better

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

spatial -- originally I was from Bay Shore -- moved to North Babylon in 8th grade -- moved a few more times -- then lived in Rockland county for 7 years until ending up back on Long Island in Selden

10:49 pm

Blaze

back again to finish the last 10 words
GW how was your job interview ??

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Probably much more than you wanted to know, but hey, I'm thorough ;D

10:49 pm

renfield

it's ok - i only watch the movies that have been edited with all the bad words and stuff taken out -i thought you might find him kind of funny as well - he' s my icon theme for sunday

10:50 pm

mab

I'm missing FU5..... I know that it is the sing. of the balancing point FU6, but I can't for the life of me figure out how it works. Would someone help me please?

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Blaze -- pretty simple actually -- I shook hands, filled out the paperwork and they told me they would call me when they can fit me into the schedule -- I am going back on my own on Monday to check in with them

10:51 pm

Blaze

good news

10:52 pm

Minski

The only S word I am missing is the SC 5/14. Please help.

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

hilaryfan -- don't worry, we're not making fun of you -- just making you aware of fun stuff to look forward to as you get older :D

10:53 pm

renfield

mab - do you have the fu 5 -that has to do w/ unfu*** a flag

10:54 pm

mab

Ren: yes, I've got all but the fu5 that isn't pl petrol.

10:55 pm

Minski

mab
it's the flag one

10:55 pm

renfield

mab - so do you have the fu 5 - heating fu**s?

10:56 pm

MissyMe

fu 5/ 18 <--- is that the right fu5 you're looking for? The other fu5/18 has nothing to do with a pivot point but is the plural of fu 4/ 8.

second fu5/18 has to do with how a flag displays. It rhymes with nu4/5

:)

10:56 pm

raree4

alrighty all...I'm down 2 my last 4 words, and I'm soooo stuck on the middle la's. la 5/12, 6/24, and two 6/21's...have there been any hints for them already?

10:56 pm

mab

I do. I think the word I need is sing of fu6, the balancing point, but I can't figure it out.

10:58 pm

MissyMe

Nope Mab...the singular is not on the list

10:58 pm

mab

Oh, sorry! Just got it.

10:59 pm

mab

Thanks Ren, Missy. I was confus-ed.

10:59 pm

scatty

finished at last, i didn't quite make it last night, i should have started earlier for the longer ones

10:59 pm

mab

Hurrah, Scatty!!!!!!!!!!!

10:59 pm

Minski

OK.
I need help finding my last 3 words.
They are:
SC 5/14
UL 5/14
UN 5/12
THanks.

11:00 pm

MissyMe

la 5/ 12 Get this one and you have the others which are versions of it. It's a weapon a knight would use.
la 6/ 24 past tense
la 6/ 21 if the knight was called by his weapon he would be a la****

11:00 pm

renfield

raree4 - the la's you may be missing could be
la 5/12 - a man's name or a weapong used in josting
la 6/24 = same word past tense
etc.

11:01 pm

Blaze

ul 5/14 one ul makes it dark the other releases

11:02 pm

renfield

sc 5/14 = sc 5/12 (above ir) - the last vowel and add a consonent

11:02 pm

raree4

Yeah!!! Thanksso much Missy and Ren...I finally finished one of these puzzles! :-)

11:02 pm

renfield
