We've been thinking of moving abroad, tbear, but like you if we had any kids we'd want them to start their own lives in the UK first, I think.

3:38 am

tbear

Although..it's a great experience...from the age of 10 I was brought up in Spain (in the 70's before the coasts became so spoilt) and it was a fabulous experience and mind widening...

3:41 am

i think moog is the name of a guy who built and branded electronic instruments... I think he died recently didn't he?

4:04 am

Miyavi_fan

*store
which reminds me, my best friend and I dressed up in full visual kei over the weekend...including the scary makeup, long black gloves, etc, and went up into town to scare people. We went into a coffee shop and were asked to leave!!

4:07 am

amandacath

woo-hoo! I got 2 7's all by my self! are you guys sure there are 172 words in there?

4:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Amanda, that is what is known as a jealous silence :)

4:14 am

amandacath

They're both names of movies, coincidentally.

4:14 am

jo_jo

Miyavi_fan

4:20 am

sprite

Yeah, I know, had to see my boss this morning, to talk about coming back. And in about 5 minutes I have to leave for the physiotherapist. But I'll be back ;)

Angelsong

amandacath

Morning Angel!

4:27 am

Haz1558

Hello, angelsong - you're up bright and early.

4:28 am

tbear

sprite....hello darling girl :)

4:28 am

Angelsong

sprite, how's your page?

4:28 am

Angelsong

I had to get up; leg cramps, big time.

4:30 am

Haz1558

That's horrible. It's not nice being up when you'd rather be comfortable in bed.

4:30 am

jo_jo

there is a me/7

4:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Haz, I like your icon :) It's making me smile!

4:34 am

Haz1558

Well, Miyavi - in the words of the advertising jingle, 'Smartie people are happy people, they smile all the time.'

4:36 am

Miyavi_fan

LMAO!! I'll have to remember that! :D

4:36 am

amandacath

I'm not seeing that me7, jojo. Any help?

4:37 am

lshult

me7- The process of cell division

4:37 am

jo_jo

its a type of cell division. if u have found my/6 it will help

4:38 am

amandacath

Ah, got it. Thx!

4:40 am

Babbler

hiya Miya!! ((( hugs )))

hi all : D

4:40 am

lshult

got all th 8's.
still looking for 2 7's
got me,ne,re & ro/
what am I looking for?

4:41 am

Miyavi_fan

HEY BABS! XD how're you?

4:43 am

jo_jo

does anyone have a clue for the ro?

4:43 am

amandacath

Ishult, there's a to7 - think Dustin Hoffman

How many 8's?

4:43 am

lshult

ro7- the pinkest

4:43 am

amandacath

jojo -ro7 = most pink

4:43 am

Haz1558

ro 7 - think of girls with flushed cheeks

4:44 am

Babbler

good thanks, Miya. you? not at school today? :)

4:44 am

Haz1558

There are 3 8 letter words.

4:44 am

jo_jo

ah thankyou, got it now

4:44 am

lshult

thanks amanda, just one more 7

4:45 am

jo_jo

ls, have u got the st/7 one?

4:45 am

Miyavi_fan

nope Babs, I'm off today...I'm apparently anaemic...need to keep on taking tablets until my legs feel like supporting me again, lol XD

4:47 am

Haz1558

Keep eating smarties, as well. They're the cure for most ills - except obesity of course! And diabetes, come to think of it.

4:47 am

Babbler

oh dear, sorry to hear that. lots of eggs and stuff for you. or is it spinach? do as you're told and eat what they tell you, lol! :D

4:47 am

Babbler

chocolate is rich in iron !!!!!!!! :D:D:D

4:48 am

Miyavi_fan

LMAO Haz!!

Babs...except for the choc...I like Haz's suggestion better :) Smarties, one of the four major food groups...along with maltesers...of COURSE...

4:49 am

amandacath

I can't find the st7 - it's my last biggie....

4:50 am

Haz1558

I was sick to my stomach when I heard that Nestle had forsaken the smartie tube and replaced it with some stupid hexagonal arrangement. I have never bought them since. At least, not in the stupid hexagonal things....

4:50 am

Dianne

st7 - think Cubans

4:51 am

jo_jo

think along the lines of a person who allows themself to be used for another's profit or advantage

4:52 am

jo_jo

does anyone know what the 8's start with?

4:52 am

Dianne

wait a minute.I'm finished and I don't have an St7.
What's up with that?

4:53 am

amandacath

ummmm.... I've got a cuban 6 and a dumb person 6 - can't get a 7 out of either one of them though...

4:53 am

Haz1558

ey 8/55
re 8/45
to 8/45

4:53 am

jo_jo

sorry, my fault, i either cant spell or i miscounted

4:54 am

Miyavi_fan

I agree, Haz. There's no fun if you can't make the packet into a 'telescope' and pretend to be a pirate afterwards...

4:55 am

amandacath

so we're still missing a 7:
me, ne, re, ro, to

what's left?

4:56 am

miametro

there's an mo 7.

4:58 am

jo_jo

oh thanks miam. seems like an obvious one now

4:59 am

Miyavi_fan

beep beep...I'm going to go get a shower :) If I don't come back for an hour, I've collapsed and drowned XD laters!

4:59 am

amandacath

Yay - big ones done and only 78 to go!

4:59 am

Haz1558

Before you go, put me out of my misery and tell me what XD means.

5:00 am

Babbler

it's when you grin and close your eyes, Haz : )

5:01 am

Haz1558

Thank you - I'll get the hang of all this jargon yet!

5:01 am

Babbler

(or at least, that's how I interpret it!) : )

5:06 am

amandacath

I've got one z-word. Does it (the z) get used any more?

5:06 am

Haz1558

There are 2 z words.

5:06 am

Angelsong

re8 is my last 8, and I can't see it. any clues?

5:07 am

amandacath

Angel - the farthest away

5:07 am

jo_jo

haz are there any clues for the z's?

5:08 am

Haz1558

The z I have is something that comic-book heroes would say while taking care of villains.

5:09 am

amandacath

Got that one fairly early on, Haz. Can't believe it's allowed

5:09 am

Haz1558

It's zo 5/28. The other z is a work in progress as I haven't looked at the list yet. (It's the fashionable thing to do)

5:10 am

amandacath

And I found the other z as well. BJ says the z gets used 7 times...2 z words and 5 others that have it in them

5:11 am

Dianne

angel - think the far away in a difficult place to find.

5:11 am

jo_jo

ah thanks. ive got 1 of them now

5:12 am

Angelsong

I did get the r8, thanks :)

5:12 am

jo_jo

angel, u change the channel with it

5:12 am

amandacath

the second z is "a flat sandal with thongs, usually made of straw or leather" Japanese, I think. zo4/9

5:14 am

Haz1558

Thanks, amandacath.

5:17 am

amandacath

No prob. I'm trying to find the others with z in them and not getting far. I've got one that's a chemistry thing, but that's all. And there's no arizona nor horizon, een though I keep seeing them... *grumble, grumble*

5:23 am

amandacath

here's a new one for you (at least it was for me!):
tm6/21: separation of the parts of a compound word by one or more intervening words; for example, where I go ever instead of wherever I go

5:25 am

Haz1558

It's a new one for me, and I have done a lot of grammar in my day!

5:26 am

Angelsong

need the mo7 and ne7. I have the others...

5:27 am

amandacath

I majored in a foreign language, and I certainly don't recall that one ever coming up in the many linguistics classes!

5:27 am

Dianne

mo7 = mo4/6 but even more so.........

5:27 am

Haz1558

mo 7 is a comparative adjective for mo**y

5:27 am

Miyavi_fan

^^; he he he...can I ask, what does everyone thing about ghosts? Real or not? :/

5:28 am

amandacath

Angel - the mo is "more like a butterfly", the ne is a nasty greek goddess

5:28 am

Haz1558

ne 7 - retribution, or harmful justice

5:30 am

amandacath

Why Miya? My opinion: ghosts are like deities, I'll find out if they exist when I'm dead and not before, so why bother worrying

5:32 am

Miyavi_fan

Couple of people I know are making a ouija board...I've been asked to join in. And I'm scared :)

5:32 am

Pele

Hello!

5:33 am

Dianne

Bye all......time to join my hubby for dinner.
Happy hunting :)

5:33 am

Angelsong

MRP's tick box list is a good tool, but for the last couple of days it's been missing at least one entry each day. did anyone bring that to her attention?

5:34 am

amandacath

Day before yesterday she caught herself and mentioned in the log that she'd forgotten one. Don't know about yesterday, I didn't scroll back far enough to see

5:36 am

amandacath

Miya - hmmm. Well, IF you believe in ghosts, why would you assume they would want to do something harmful to you?

5:36 am

Pele

3rd time here. Gotta play TOONTOWN. Good-bye!

5:37 am

Miyavi_fan

hmm...true...but mein Mutter made a ouija board when she was a little older than me, with some friends, they had some weird stuff going on :/

5:37 am

Haz1558

Miyavi - don't get caught up in things like that. You mentioned in the chat log before that you are a Christian. Ask your minister for advice.

5:38 am

Miyavi_fan

good idea :) Thanks Haz!

5:38 am

Angelsong

I had an intersting day yesterday. As part of my annual physical, I did a sleep study to find out if I have sleep apnea. Went to the doctor, and he told me: "you are strangling in your sleep." normal score is 5; time for concern is when the score gets to 25. mine was 65, with one spike to 165. so yes, I have "severe" sleep apnea. CPAP machine is in process.

5:39 am

Haz1558

Angel - glad to hear that you've found out in time! You'll probably find a big difference in how you're feeling in yourself if they get the sleep thing sorted. You'll probably whizz through the grid everyday from now on, leaving us panting in your wake!

5:41 am

amandacath

speaking of those linguistics classes - now I understand that stupid-head yw word! The German word from the same root is gewiss, and I remember the ge-prefix gets mutated to a y somehow or other. "Ye Olde Shoppe" had something to do with it *digs in memory and comes up with no answer*

5:43 am

Haz1558

I took linguistics for one year at university - talk about taking language apart and putting it back together! Phonemes and transformational grammar are still words to bring me out in spots.

5:44 am

amandacath

Well, Angel, I guess at least you'll never miss that ap5 when it turns up in the grid again, as it seems to do fairly often. What _is_ sleep apnea, exactly?

5:45 am

Jera

Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing in your sleep... screy stuff.

5:45 am

Jera

scary, I mean...

5:47 am

Miyavi_fan

same thing, Jera :)

5:47 am

Miyavi_fan

ooh. before I continue to embarrass myself any longer, wassa theme for today?

5:47 am

Jera

Hey Miya, glad to see you again, hon!

{{{MIYA}}}

5:48 am

amandacath

Somehow I managed to get through my MA without having to do transformational grammar. Although from what I know about it, I must say I think I may have liked it - I'm wierd that way. Horribly tedious things like logic puzzles have always been a fave

5:48 am

Miyavi_fan

*BIG HUGS* thanks!!! :)

5:49 am

amandacath

Hi Jera! That does sound scary - I'm sure they'll get you all straightened out, Angel.

5:50 am

gramma

Hello all. We've had the nicest size grids lately. Oh dear, maybe I shouldn't say that :{ We don't want to draw the wrath of the babble god.

5:50 am

Haz1558

I have always liked grammar when it relates to a particular language. The problem with the sort of grammar we were doing in linguistics was that it was so theoretical.

5:50 am

Jera

I had it as a child, had to be hooked up to a machine at night to sound alarm if I stopped breathing...

5:51 am

Miyavi_fan

Is the theme magazines? *dunce cap*

5:51 am

Haz1558

Give that girl a round of applause! You've got it, Miyavi!

5:52 am

Miyavi_fan

wooo! *goes to the top of the class*

5:52 am

Haz1558

Oh, and good morning, gramma.

5:52 am

amandacath

Mornin Gramma! Wow, you're up early - how can you think at that time of the morning?

5:53 am

Miyavi_fan

oh, good grief. Haz, you're my Wise Woman Of The Forest mentor-type for today. Do I go with SHOXX magazine, or Gothic Lolita Bible? *decisions, decisions*

5:54 am

Haz1558

They both sound ..... interesting. Did you never consider 'My little pony' or 'Barbie, the Ken-less years'?

5:55 am

gramma

I can't think....I have a cold and couldn't sleep.

5:56 am

Miyavi_fan

*gasps* but HAZ...those are Big Girls' magazines :)

Ah, GLB, no question XD

5:57 am

Haz1558

I've refreshed. Thank goodness, I can't make out a thing. Looks good, Miyavi!

5:58 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL Haz..."thank goodness" :) I'm searching for a clearer one, AS WE SPEAK. I will MAKE you see XD

5:58 am

Jera

Gotta go wake the household... later, all!

5:59 am

Eva

Good morning everyone. Have to run and feed the cat. He has a new ploy...if I don't respond quickly enough to his whining, he wakes my husband up, knowing that he will say "Haven't you fed the cat yet?"Not bad for an animal with a brain the size of a walnut. I'd consider it the conscious use of a tool(-:

6:00 am

Miyavi_fan

top o' the mornin', Eva :)

THERE...you can just about see...if you, er, squint...

6:00 am

amandacath

Morning Eva!

6:01 am

Eva

hi Miyavi! What am I squinting for?

6:01 am

Haz1558

Bye, Jera. I'm going to take a break as well. I've got some errands to run but I'll be back later. Miyavi - I'm happy to stay wondering..

6:01 am

6:01 am

Eva

okay-what are we all squinting for?

6:03 am

Miyavi_fan

trying to see if anyone can actually make out the words on my icon :)

6:05 am

Jacula

Good afternoon, everyone.

6:06 am

amandacath

Nope, Miya - what is it?

6:06 am

amandacath

Hi Jac!

6:07 am

Miyavi_fan

pffft...it is, actually, unreadable. le poo :/

6:07 am

Angelsong

:) I borrowed an idea (and expanded on it a little) from MrP's stats list. You will note a change in the sidebar of the resource page. Jera, there is a section of the content that may interest you.

6:08 am

Miyavi_fan

there. If the word SHOXX isn't readable on this one I give up :)

6:09 am

amandacath

I'm being lazy, Angel. What'd you change - it didn't jump out at me at first glance

6:10 am

Jacula

I can read it, Miyavi.

6:11 am

Miyavi_fan

your eyesight is better than mine, Jackie :)

6:11 am

Miyavi_fan

Jacki?! JAC! LOL!

6:12 am

Jacula

Miyavi - It was one of my regular magazines when I was a teenager.

6:12 am

Grim-Bigyen

6:14 am

Miyavi_fan

heh...my magazine I have to order off the internet, issue by issue (and then translate >.<)!

6:14 am

amandacath

grim - if I had it I'd help.

6:14 am

Jacula

Grim - Sorry, don't have it yet. Only just got here with 105 words so far.

6:15 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks for the thought

6:17 am

amandacath

do we know how many points the fo6 has?

6:18 am

Grim-Bigyen

fo 6 = 42 points

6:19 am

Jacula

Ah, so the word has to add up to 14. *Peers closely at grid.*

6:19 am

miyavi_fan, do you remember a mag called Loving? It
was published around the same time as Jackie. I used to
edit it!

6:20 am

amandacath

Got it! ummmm.... more like the bear on the Muppet Show?

6:20 am

Miyavi_fan

Hydra, really?! I've never heard of the mag but that must have been great work!

6:21 am

Jacula

Hydra - Did you? I used to have it every week. Got a lot of my early recipes from it.

6:21 am

hydra

The mag started in the mid 70's, I was fiction ed, then
ed, from '84-'94 and it was a brilliant job. I worked in
the next office to Just Seventeen. Remember that one?

6:22 am

Grim-Bigyen

got it from your clue.
thank you.
thats me done.
going to shop.
bye all

6:22 am

amandacath

YW!

6:23 am

Miyavi_fan

ow...blimey. I was drumming along to a song yesterday, before I realized it was 30 minutes long...now my neck hates me :)

6:23 am

Jacula

Hydra - Yes, I do. I used to buy it occasionally.

6:24 am

hydra

Now I need to become a pro member and get an icon like
yours. I keep saying I will and I haven't got round to it yet.

6:36 am

Miyavi_fan

Yup, Hyrda...after a while, I can :)

okay. now I've got to do my mega-passionate, sobbing, clinging to the mic-stand lines.

"ART OF LIFE...an eternal bleeding heart
You never wanna breathe your last
Wa-nna live
Can't let my heart kill myself
Still I'm feeling for...
A rose is breathing love...in my life"

THANK YOU BABBLE! *bows*

How does this point system work? I see that ci4/5 is worth 5 points, but on the board, the letters only add up to 4. When I get ci5/12, it adds up to 12 points but there are only 5 points on the board. How does that work?

6:43 am

Jacula

Like so:

4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points

6:44 am

*wipes eyes* I'd...*sob* like to thank X Japan for the song that helped you all see how truly fantastic and amazing I am! And of course Hydra, for making me sing! And...*sob* and...*sob*, I'd like to thank *sob* BABBLE!

Hopefully not until Summer... would like for the Sprite to complete an entire year here first... she's totally bummed, moving again so soon.

7:50 am

Jera

Your news is much better than mine, evana... congrats!

7:50 am

musicmom

It can be tough on the kids. Was your "great news" sarcastic? I'm sorry if I didn't take it right.

7:51 am

Jera

I'm not thrilled myself, moving is tough... but the cost of living is much lower there than here, close to family (both sides)... so I'll warm up to it...

7:52 am

musicmom

I understand. having just gone through a move I definitely don't envy the house hunting, packing etc etc part for you. It is good that cost of living will be lower and family closer though.

7:53 am

EvaNadine

my BFs sister + her family live in georgia...fort...benning, is it?
it was lovely weather when we were down there!

8:58 am

abe79

zo 5/28

8:59 am

bunnyvicious

Thanks, I thought about typing that one in, but thought "no way that's a word for real". Teach me!

9:00 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Bunny, it's all good...now. have you got a tissue? *sobbing*

9:02 am

bunnyvicious

Hmmm, yeah, but it's used. I have cheap 1 ply toilet paper (I'm a tight wad). Chunking the roll your way. Dab, don't wipe. It's abrasive!

9:03 am

Miyavi_fan

LMAO! *blows nose* thank youuuu

*hands back sodden loo roll*

9:03 am

snowyowl

9:05 am

snowyowl

LOL bunny!! I think the littlies eat the toilet rolls here!

9:05 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Snowy! Grid's a nightmare, and there's snotty tissues in the log...welcome to babble :)

9:05 am

Miyavi_fan

hmmm...drumsticks taste REALLY nice. and I'm not talking about the poultry variety...

9:05 am

snowyowl

Weel it's too late to back out now. I saw Babbles famous yw word & had to jump in!

9:08 am

Miyavi_fan

*hands Snowy some snotty loo roll* okay, but here you go...you'll need it...

9:08 am

snowyowl

Miy In the last 6 years I have handled enough snotty tissues to wallpaper Buckingham Palace! They don't worry me in the least! Have been joining in tree plantings in an effortto replace the paper products that my family has used in 6 yrs!

9:08 am

movieman

me5/12 plz.....

9:11 am

bunnyvicious

Sorry movieman, not there yet, still overworking the monkey's on those darn em's!

9:14 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL Snowy...how about a drum stick then?

Only slightly sucked XD

9:15 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay. "stewy". Why is that not a word?! "the stew was marvellously stewy." huh? huh punk?

9:16 am

gelababe

sorry - first day. What does #/# mean. 5/28 was mentioned earlier.

9:16 am

kissmyglass04

morning everyone!!! how goes it

9:16 am

bunnyvicious

the first numer is the number of letters in a word, the second is the point for the word

9:17 am

Miyavi_fan

Gelababe, it's a way of communicating the stats. zo 5/28 means a zo word with 5 letters and a point value of 28 :)

9:17 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Kiss :) How goes it?

9:17 am

bunnyvicious

4 letter - tile value
5 letter - 2 X tile value
6 letter - 3 X tile value .... and so on

9:17 am

Miyavi_fan

AH! I just...you just...weird :/

9:18 am

gelababe

so an 8 letter word worth 45 points would be 8/45 ok got that. What does the zo mean....don't laugh

9:18 am

Miyavi_fan

^^ the zo means the word begins with Zo :)

9:18 am

Miyavi_fan

(can I laugh now?)

9:19 am

bunnyvicious

I'm sure you already were...

9:19 am

gelababe

Ok Gotcha! Thanks!

9:20 am

gelababe

Laugh away.

9:20 am

Miyavi_fan

lol, you're welcome! :)

Bunny! *blinks innocently* moi? laugh at another? *flees from room in tears*

9:20 am

Miyavi_fan

oh, well if I have your PERMISSION...*grins*

9:21 am

bunnyvicious

<--- chunking some more 1 ply Myavi's way....

9:23 am

Angela

Do I have the theme right? Magazines?

9:23 am

Miyavi_fan

*PRRRRRRRRRRRP*

erm, that was me blowing my nose, by the way. NOTHING ELSE :)

*waves snotty loo roll* you wan' this back, Bunny? Huh? Huh punk?

9:23 am

Miyavi_fan

Yup, Angela, that's right :)

9:24 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Angela, who's that on the front cover of yours? Looks like Billie-Joe Armstrong?

9:24 am

bunnyvicious

Sure, I'll add it too my giant used TP ball in the yard for tourists. "Welcome to Texas!"

9:24 am

Angela

Phew - dodged another faux pas!

9:24 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL *shoves noxious green tissues back at Bunny*

9:24 am

Angela

Why yes, Miyavi, it sure is!!

9:26 am

Jen

bunnyvicious

Morning Jen!

9:26 am

ch1212

Morning, all -- don't have much time today. Headed out to help my daughter get the final alteration on her wedding dress, and shop for the big day :) SO...

Could I have a clue for the st 6/24 that follows cigar, and the mi 6/21 following the 'skirt' ?

9:27 am

Angela

I was hoping you'd be able to tell it was him on that small picture. I saw them twice last year - front row!!

9:29 am

Miyavi_fan

really? Green Day? How did you manage to get front row seats TWICE?! *in awe*

9:30 am

Angela

Well, they weren't seats - spent 5 hours fighting to keep my place and was first through the gate. It was WELL worth it. Best shows I've seen in my 36 years!

9:30 am

bunnyvicious

the st 6/24 - the three st*****, Larry , Curly, Moe...Shimp?

9:31 am

Angela

Bunny! It's ShEmp..hehehe

9:31 am

ch1212

(groan) Thanks, bunny -- feel like a fish slap for that one!

9:32 am

bunnyvicious

Ooopsie! that would ban me from the fan club!

9:32 am

Angela

I'm sure they would forgive you :)

9:32 am

shoelace

hi.i'm new here and i can't find even a single word. either, i must be totally dumb and i'm not doin something right. HELP!!

9:34 am

ch1212

welcome, shoelace -- keep at it and it will get easier. It helps to scroll the log for clues -- and there is a great resource at the link on the right -- click on 'babblers anonymous'.

9:35 am

ch1212

Oh, and it helps to ask for clues... like this:

Could I please have a clue for the mi 6/21, the one that follows the skirt?

Now, hopefully someone will respond :D

9:35 am

bunnyvicious

Found the mi 6/21 - mi + loop + opp of brother (short)

9:36 am

ch1212

See, shoelace? Aren't Babblers wonderful? (Thanks, bunny!) See you all later -- gotta dash.

9:36 am

gelababe

dont' get it.

9:37 am

ch1212

Or I should call us 'babblelonians' ...

9:37 am

shoelace

yea..hehe.. u guys seem to be taking in ure own language... lots of short forms... but thanks.. i'm chekin out the resource

9:37 am

Miyavi_fan

lol...they should forgive you, Bunny...at a Dir en Grey live, some of the fans started calling Kyo "Die", the name of one of the guitarists. He spent five minutes going "Kyo desu...Die. Kyo desu...Die." ahh, memories :) even though I wasn't there. :)

9:37 am

bunnyvicious

Gelababe, you might want to brief yourself on the rules first.
Clues are given, like me 6/21. The word starts with me, there are six letters, it is worth 21 points.

9:38 am

gelababe

Thanks bunny - learnt that a short while ago. It's the clues given after. Suppose it takes practice

9:39 am

shoelace

okay, what' wit the nos on the letters?

9:39 am

bunnyvicious

I downloaded on of their songs, (don't remember wich ). Wasn't my cup of tea, but my husband saw it, now we have more than one!

9:39 am

gelababe

another one

9:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Bunny, whose song?

9:39 am

bunnyvicious

Shoelace, it's the value of the latter when points are given.

9:40 am

bunnyvicious

Dir en grey...

9:40 am

Miyavi_fan

*cheesy grin* really? any idea what it was called?

Lol...I'm sickeningly enthusiastic over here...:)

9:42 am

bunnyvicious

No, I'm lucky I can remember the kids names sometime...
Also got that Shindemo Boogie Woogie by Miyavi, husband liked that too. Once again, not my cup of tea!

9:43 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL Bunny! names aren't important :) hehehe...tell your husband he's a DUDE! XD

9:44 am

bunnyvicious

Hmmm, NO! Don't want his head blowing up anymore than it already has! Hehe.

9:44 am

gelababe

hooray!! found the zo

9:45 am

Miyavi_fan

*giggling* could be messy...

9:45 am

Miyavi_fan

nice going, Gelababe! :)

9:46 am

movieman

st6/24 anyone plz.....

9:46 am

bunnyvicious

the st 6/24 - the three st*****, Larry , Curly, Moe...Shemp?

9:47 am

Miyavi_fan

Movieman, er, er, if you've got 3...not so bright people, they could be known as the three st----s :)

9:47 am

Miyavi_fan

...in my school, anyway...:)

9:47 am

bunnyvicious

me 7/32?

9:47 am

Ciboulette

Moe, Curly and Larry one are 3.....

9:47 am

stidmama

Good morning all -- I just got my coffee and sat down. How hard is the puzzle today?

9:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Morning, Stidmama...pick up your coffee and stand up again; it's brutal today :)

9:49 am

movieman

Thanx bunny......

Really should have got that one, it rhymes with my surname.......

9:50 am

Miyavi_fan

hehe...no chance of anything in there ever rhyming with MY surname :/

9:53 am

stidmama

Oh, no chance of standing up again... I'm hooked. But after seeing how many words there are, maybe I should just bring the whole pot over!

9:55 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL Stidmama! ^^ may need emergency supplies of choc as well...there's a Z in there, after all...

9:59 am

Angela

I just looked - there are TWO z words??? Lordy!

10:00 am

Miyavi_fan

Don't worry, Angela, even I could get them :)

10:00 am

LUCKY

hI THERE BACK AGAIN 61 WORDS TO GO.

Does anyone have a clue for the em 6/24 and the
ey 8/55 please?

10:00 am

Angela

Ok, I'm calming down now...sigh...

10:01 am

bunnyvicious

ey 8/55 - compound word - you see with them + you chew food with on of them

10:01 am

bunnyvicious

em 6/24 - em + 2nd vowel + little blood sucking bug

10:02 am

Jacula

An em6/24 makes you vomit.
An ey8/55 is one of your upper incisors.

10:02 am

Miyavi_fan

>.< Y'know, Angela, that was your cue to say "Oh, Miy, that doesn't mean a thing. You are the most incredibly intelligent person of your age I have ever seen! And you have excellent dress sense!"

10:03 am

Angela

HAAAAA!! I was THINKING it - doesn't that count??? *offers penance in the form of chocolate*

10:05 am

Miyavi_fan

HUH! I will not be bribed by any chocolate!

...

y'know, I'm going to take this chocolate ANYWAY, just to...just to...er...*snatches choccy and runs away*

10:05 am

bunnyvicious

Jac, you wouldn't happen to have the me 7/32 or the my?

10:06 am

Angela

Ve have vays of making you forgive!! hahaha!!

10:06 am

Jacula

my6/27 is like mi6/21 but with the sometimes vowel in place of the personal pronoun.

10:06 am

spellacked

found a great tool to help find valid words: www.morewords.com
It beats monkeytyping to find what might work

10:06 am

Miyavi_fan

Angela, I am ignorez-vousing you and eschewing you with a firm foot.

*munching*

10:07 am

Miyavi_fan

Good one, Spellacked, thanks :)

10:07 am

Angela

I am in awe of your Babblerifiousness Miyavi - such a flare for the game - such word prowess... *bows deeply*

10:08 am

bunnyvicious

I should have gotten that, thanks so much!

10:08 am

hydra

me7/32 - refer to yourself twice, then address a sibling.

10:09 am

Miyavi_fan

hm...well...I might be PREPARING myself to forgive you...

*launches self into Angela's arms* LET'S NEVER FIGHT AGAIN! *sobbing*

10:10 am

Angela

I second that emotion!!!!! YIPEEE!!

Phew - I need a nap.

10:10 am

Miyavi_fan

...soooo, bestest buddy...got any more chocolate? *looks nonchalant*

10:11 am

Jacula

me7/32 is very like the 'mi' and the 'my'.

10:11 am

Angela

I wish!! I finished my Girl Scout Thin Mints yesterday :(

10:11 am

Two phone calls and two dogs and a sick-but-not-well-enough-for-s chool kid in my face -- and I've been here almost an hour and only 46 words. But at least there are still more than 13 hours left. (reaching for the chocolate) I don't think I'll get much housework done today! Any clue for the first em 6/21?

10:24 am

bunnyvicious

caitlyn

Hi Angela

Angelsong

whew, Haz, I thought I was going blind trying to find the typo! :)

11:17 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Angel - I had kept the resource page open for the check box list, and had gone back through that instead of opening it fresh.

11:19 am

snowyowl

I really envy you Angelsong - it's all I can do to write a few letters & print! If i ever get any let up from these littlies I'm going to enrol in a class.
It looks great & is easy to use, which is really important for computer idiots like me!

11:20 am

snowyowl

Am now going to clean the bedroom I should have cleaned the day before yesterday! BBL

11:49 am

Angela

Wow. You are bad!

I'm off to lunch - Thai food - but shall return later. C YA!

11:50 am

hurshy

not necessarily covers, leslieann, just magazines. that is why mine is doubly appropriate.

11:50 am

Miyavi_fan

oh Mab, you don't know how I live my OTHER life.

...I steal from small children...
...I mug old ladies...
I RUN WITH SCISSORS

11:50 am

mab

(((hurshy))) How is Spring break going for you - difficult?

11:51 am

hurshy

it's been mostly ok, although the other day i talked to his brother on IM and he said he would go see if he wanted to chat with me... and he didn't. what a meanie.

11:51 am

mab

Miya, I'm shocked! You could really hurt yourself with the scissors.

11:51 am

smithchick

Hello everybody!

11:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Mab...hah! I laugh in the face of danger, muahahaha!

11:52 am

LeslieAnn

...or old ladies, mab

11:53 am

Miyavi_fan

oh, good grief, I've got to go...my best friend has just greeted me on msn by saying "don't be silly, wrap up your willy!" ...so I'm going to have my hands full for the next hour or so :/

11:53 am

At least my favorite Y-word is here to brighten my babble experience

11:54 am

hurshy

i was talking about mi. just try it, lucky.

11:54 am

LUCKY

Hallo sprite how are you tonight? ... we need some spring!!!

11:54 am

sprite

And it helps to make me no longer invisible :)
No wonder it is my favorite word.

11:55 am

mab

Well, but old ladies and children - it's survival of the fittest, right? Darwin and all that...

Hi smithie!

That's an ouch, hurshy. Very adolescent I'm afraid. And he knows you won't reject him for his bad behavior, and that's a good thing....

11:55 am

LeslieAnn

all right, here's my ode to doctor's offices then (refresh)

11:55 am

hurshy

i got one Z through sheer monkey luck, zo4, rhymes with actor hugh _____ from House. what's the other???

11:56 am

hurshy

true, mab. only 3 days to go, though, and then he'll be back. i hope he has not been smoking much pot.

11:56 am

sprite

Hi Lucky! We had our Spring this very morning! Dutch Spring was on March 24 this year, from about 8 till 12 o'clock :)

11:56 am

hurshy

did anyone get my magazine joke??

11:57 am

Angelsong

hurshy, the other zo is something batman might say as he slugs the joker (in a comic book).

11:57 am

hurshy

ah, thank you angel - i do love grey boxes

11:58 am

mab

I'm worried about you Sprite. The law here is that institutions must make accomodations for people with disabilites (we must have this as law or we'd eat each other). Are there others where you work that suffer this treatment?

11:58 am

hurshy

i'm doing surprisingly well on the long ones, 5 of the 6 7's, and 1 8.

12:00 pm

hurshy

oh atalante, are you lurking?

12:01 pm

LUCKY

You where right hurshy sorry and thank you... just too many cell divisions tonight!

12:01 pm

hurshy

yes, lucky :)

12:03 pm

sprite

Mab, I think I should emigrate then :)
Actually I think all will work out eventually, I just have the bad luck to have a company doctor who is A. overworked B. stressed out C. incompetent D. all of the above.
But my boss told me today that he asked for an intermediator, so we'll wait and see...

12:03 pm

rolin

woohoo..2 outa 3 8's...

12:03 pm

hurshy

i have re8, whatcha got, rolin?

12:05 pm

sprite

If you could combine E8 and R8, you'd have an E11.

12:05 pm

rolin

i have an ey8/55

its two parts of the head

12:05 pm

sprite

I mean T8 of course.

12:06 pm

rolin

cheers sprite..3 x 8...lalalal

12:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Hello :)

12:07 pm

sprite

Woulf :)
Biiiiiiiig hug for you and yours.

12:07 pm

mab

I hope that resolves the problem. It must be so frustrating and stressful, which doesn't help one's wellbeing at all. It makes me mad all the way over here. Oh, and, funnily enough, I'd emigrate there if I could.

12:08 pm

GreyWoulf

((**HUG**)) back at you, sprite ;)

12:08 pm

hurshy

yay!

12:08 pm

sprite

We could switch homes, lol. (((((mab))))))
Thanks for caring!

12:09 pm

smithchick

Hello, GreyWoulf!

12:09 pm

hurshy

hi GW, and hi smith, i meant to say hi to you before but i forgot

12:10 pm

rolin

12:10 pm

GreyWoulf

12:10 pm

musicmom

Hi all. I got the entire dining room primed this morning. The next two hours are my babble reward.

12:11 pm

LUCKY

hurshy do you happen to have the se6/18 mabe... purrrhaps ... by luck???

12:11 pm

smithchick

HI back to mab...:)-

12:11 pm

musicmom

Hey Hurshy - nice magazines. What caliber are they?

12:11 pm

hurshy

mm gets the joke!!! and well done on the priming, dear.

12:12 pm

sprite

Fo6 is a comparative. Let's say it's a word for more mist, change the double consonant in the one with the highest value. But then only one, of course.

12:12 pm

GreyWoulf

(*hurshy*)

12:12 pm

LUCKY

rolin 6/42 for more of it

12:12 pm

musicmom

Thank you. The worst was when I headed to the shower only to find out that Sarah actually did what she was told. She was washing the towels and underwear in hot water - I had a cold shower. ICK!

12:13 pm

LeslieAnn

musicmom, it appears as though we have similar reading material

12:13 pm

smithchick

Good clue, Sprite! TY...

12:13 pm

rolin

thx sprite..dunno what the heck it is....but i got it..lol

12:13 pm

Jacula

Rolin - for fo6/42, think of more of the Muppet bear.

12:14 pm

musicmom

Very good taste LeslieAnn

12:15 pm

hurshy

anybody on my 7 question?

12:15 pm

sprite

Se6/18 Someone who takes legal possession of land, as a freehold estate holder.

12:15 pm

smithchick

I'm missing that one too, hurshy.

12:16 pm

sprite

Ne7 goddess of revenge

12:16 pm

HollyBug

Oh goodness. The pastor's wife confessed.

12:17 pm

hurshy

AND the title of a star trek movie - how humiliating

12:17 pm

sprite

LOL!

12:17 pm

LUCKY

Thanks sprite!!!

12:18 pm

scatty

12:18 pm

hurshy

AND that gave me the brain wave to finish off the E's

12:19 pm

hurshy

alright, let's talk i's. i've got the upper left corner one, need the other 2.

12:19 pm

sprite

Personally I am affronted by the Tm word. Since we babblers are all so very good in language, we never have are guilty of using it, right? So how the heck are we to know or see it? Took me ages to figure it out.

12:19 pm

GreyWoulf

tm word?

12:19 pm

hurshy

there's a TM WORD??????

12:20 pm

sprite

*leave out "have"

12:20 pm

musicmom

There's a tm word? Oh JOY!

12:20 pm

faintly

funny, I saw the tm word right away. Guess that high school Latin paid off...

12:20 pm

sprite

TM word and it is not TradeMark. :)

12:20 pm

Vicuna

hurshy, there's an i4 meaning single element on a list

12:20 pm

GreyWoulf

as in a potty mouth word?

12:20 pm

hurshy

oh, why did i take greek and not latin?

12:21 pm

musicmom

well at least we all had the same reaction!

12:21 pm

hurshy

FISH!

12:21 pm

faintly

Actually, it's a Greek word used in Latin prose.

12:21 pm

sprite

I wouldn't use it in front of others if wearing fake teeth :)

12:21 pm

bluephlox

can someone give me a hint for the re 8 letter word?

12:21 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, sprite

12:22 pm

hurshy

re8 farthest away

12:22 pm

HollyBug

my cat is soooo annoying.

12:22 pm

sprite

Blue, if you are farther from finding it than ever, you are close.

12:22 pm

bluephlox

you rock, got it. thanks

12:23 pm

musicmom

Okay found the tm word. I would never do that.

12:24 pm

hurshy

i cannot find it :(

12:24 pm

sprite

None of us would, that's why it is so unfair ;)

12:24 pm

hurshy

i even looked in my greek dictionary

12:24 pm

musicmom

ends with a female relative hurshy

12:24 pm

Angelsong

MM...check out my page.....see what's new.

12:25 pm

sprite

hurshy, it rhymes with the vengefull goddess. Well, actually it doesn't, but now you will find it.

12:25 pm

musicmom

hurshy - I went to morewords.

12:25 pm

musicmom

I will angel.

12:25 pm

hurshy

so what does it mean?

12:26 pm

musicmom

putting a word in between a compound word.

What place soever instead of whatsoever place.

12:26 pm

hurshy

something about cutting?

12:26 pm

sprite

Separation of the parts of a compound word by one or more intervening words; for example, where I go ever instead of wherever I go.
When I ever do that, pass me the fish.

2:20 pm

MarqueeMarc

haz you are my sweet little guardian angel!

2:21 pm

Haz1558

gothic would be acceptable but goth is an unacceptable abbreviation. Ours is not to reason why....

2:21 pm

Echo5ive

et/4 is also "Of or relating to features or items analyzed without considering their role as a structural unit in a system, as in behavioral science or linguistics."

2:21 pm

TheTrista

XtinaS -- Right?! I'm going to Hot Topic tonight to cheer myself up. ;)

Hiney may not be a word, but it is an icon :)

4:38 pm

Douglas

Do you get the same definitions when you click on the ?s?

4:39 pm

izzycat

vicuna, they're not the same. click on the links.

4:39 pm

Douglas

Ricky Ricardo would say, "I'm going to let her st 4/8 in her own goose!"

4:41 pm

Douglas

geist isn't a word? As in zeitgeist?

4:41 pm

sukee

Yay, I passed 100

4:42 pm

Vicuna

Hmm, interesting. Thanks! I thought they were all me7, but that's the one that isn't the others! (And check out that def 2 for me7. That's out of the blue!)

4:43 pm

Vicuna

But in any case, my inaccurate clue still out to get you to the word!

4:43 pm

Douglas

I wasn't quite sure that oy 4/6 was a word, but it is

4:43 pm

Vicuna

(I mean *ought*)

4:45 pm

Douglas

Take a load off yer to 5/10

4:45 pm

izzycat

douglas: geist is a word in german, but not in english.

4:46 pm

Douglas

goth is so a word!

4:46 pm

Vicuna

This dictionary allows lots of foreign borrowings into English, but tends to be a little unaccepting of German.

4:46 pm

sukee

Goth is a proper name :)

4:48 pm

Douglas

But in our living language, goth has entered common usage. Wikipedia sez...

Goth is a modern subculture that first became popular during the early 1980s within the gothic rock scene, a sub-genre of post punk. It is associated with gothic tastes in music and clothing. Styles of dress range from gothic horror, punk, Victorian, fetish, cybergoth, androgyny, and/or lots of black. Since the mid-1990s, styles of music that can be heard in goth venues range from gothic rock, industrial, punk, metal, techno, 1980s dance music, and several others

4:48 pm

izzycat

yeah, i agree, "goth" should be in the dictionary.

4:49 pm

monpazier

Hello Angela!

4:49 pm

Douglas

I didn't expect geist to be a word, but I do expect hiney and goth to be words.

4:49 pm

sukee

I meant it wouldn't accept mosh

4:50 pm

Vicuna

Douglas, Douglas, Douglas, let go right now of any illusion that the Babble dictionary makes sense, is consistent, is comprehensive, or is the best dictionary around. It isn't any of those things! But it's Babble, so we play...

4:50 pm

Douglas

How can you expect to take the mo 4/5 out of your brother's eye, when you have a beam in your own?

4:56 pm

Douglas

4:56 pm

Angela

Douglas - as would "siwy"

4:57 pm

izzycat

shouldn't that be spelled "siwwy"?

4:58 pm

5:08 pm

Douglas

zo 5/28 is an archaic exclamation...Well, it all depends on the meaning of the word "archaic," doesn't it?

5:09 pm

Echo5ive

Zo/5 isn't really what I'd call a suitable word for these purposes.

5:09 pm

8:03 pm

Douglas

luvvbyrd, in the pro version, they have the number of words starting at each letter, and the first two letters of each word. The first number is the number of letters in the word, and the second number is the point value of that word.

8:03 pm

cliffopa

re 5/12 anyone?

8:03 pm

LeslieAnn

luvv, the notation means: st 6/30 is a word with 6 letters, starting with st, that's 30 points. there is a list with that breakdown if you go to the babblers anonymous link at right, then click general, then click stats

8:04 pm

LeslieAnn

lgorms

Stub: ey8/55: what you see with = what helps you chew (the pearly whites)

9:26 pm

Marc Freeman

My wife thinks it is all about my ego wanting to speak. Truthfully, it probably is, I love to show off that I can speak. I do it for a living so when I get a chance in front of family and friends why not? He has kids but they don't want to speak, and the other brother doesn't speak. He starts to cry and gets emotional.

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

9:29 pm

mamabear

I told you you wouldn't have any trouble, GW!!!! ;)

9:29 pm

Marc Freeman

Grey, I remember those days. My baby now is 24. Hang in there and give you wife as much support as possible during these times. It is the greatest thing you can do. I remember spending hours in the middle of the night trying to get the babies to go back to sleep. Rocking to them and singing to them. Singing works especially if you have horrible voice like me. They would rather sleep then have to listen to you anymore.

9:29 pm

mamabear

LOL Marc!!!!!

9:29 pm

renfield

LOL marc!!!!

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

I'll keep that in mind, Marc -- LOL :)

9:50 pm

Marc Freeman

The synogogue is in charge, my brother the Rabbi is not involved and one of my brother's oldest friends is heading it up. But these guys have been clueless. They wanted my other brother who has been a member for as long as the Rabbi has been there, almost 40 years, to host one of the events and handle the food for it as he is a Kosher caterer, then they told him no they wanted to have someone else do it and also they would handle the food as well and not use him. These guys are amazing.
Don't you love to just cavel. I am not sure it is a good thing but soooo much fun.

9:50 pm

torgone

You must have me confused with some other cool guy, Mama ..

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

And I am done!!!!!!
