cybernan

Well done, Hurshy -- I'm stalled at 53

12:19 am

Jacula

37 words now.

12:20 am

cybernan

hula girl -- there are advantages to upgrading -- you get a stats board that shows how many words you have left and which tile they begin with. Another very valuable tool is the 2 letter word list posted by one of our players, usually within 4 hours of the game's beginning. To find it, click on Babblers Anon. (under friends of babble on this page), general tab, stats (posted by Brandyjack) and scroll down. Don't know if the stats for Dec. 5 are posted yet, though.

12:21 am

hurshy

12:25 am

melissamay

I'm at 83 too. I have the J and also a oo6/27 and oo7/40 combo. Definition: A cell from which an egg or ovum develops by meiosis.

12:26 am

melissamay

And please excuse me if it seems too early to give clues, but this puzzle looks rough, and I figure the sooner the better.

12:27 am

12:27 am

harpjane

u 6/24

12:27 am

Jacula

If anyone feels they want to give clues, I may not read 'em, because I might be sleeping, but that doesn't mean I won't be back to read them later.

12:28 am

chic

melissamay, thanx for the oo-oo's

12:28 am

macuser

cybernan

They are connected in definition, Hurshy

12:32 am

hurshy

hmmm, not uretic...

12:33 am

Mr P -- my daughter-in-law had a luau for our 8 yr old granddaughter last year. Party favours included leis, they made some shell jewelry at the party -- she served a ham & pineapple pizza, with lots of fresh fruit (mangoes, papaya, etc.) on the side and a tropical punch to drink. The cake was a volcano cake (chocolate bundt cake with some dry ice in the centre).

1:18 am

hurshy

1 C, I, J, and D, and 2 U's. this stinks.

1:18 am

sprite

Morning dear gang!
MrP, my daughter just had her 8th birthday. We'll be taking her and her two best friends to Color Me Mine to decorate something of their own choosing. A week later we can pick it up, baked and all, and they'll have a memento of the event. Last year we had someone over to make bead colliers. Tremendous succes.

1:22 am

mrpresident

what wonderful ideas! Thank you!
I now have the perfect idea... we will have a ceramic party, with a theme... summer theme might be nice! I can make a frangipani cake and give out chic sunglasses as party favouties!

1:23 am

hurshy

sorry, don't mean to be grumpy. it would just be good to find them.

1:23 am

renfield

around here we have glamour shot parties. the little girls get to dress up, have their hair sone, and photos taken

1:24 am

sprite

mrP... can I come? :)
Renfield, I'll remember that one for next year, sounds great too!

1:24 am

mrpresident

a photograph session! Perfect for little girls!! That sounds great too!

1:24 am

mrpresident

Sprite, you are welcome anytime!!

1:25 am

licketySplitAUS

so what should a father give an 8 year old daughter for her birthday? Mr P wants me to do well on this one.

1:25 am

hurshy

oh well, i will just have to get the last 30 in the daytime.

1:25 am

Blaze

a great book to read together..... or a series

1:28 am

sprite

Sleep well then, hurshy :)
We gave our daughter stuff to paint with. A small easle that can be set up on any table or bureau, paint, brushes, painting knifes, palette and er... don't know the word, the fabric things you paint on. Different people brought different items and together it became a wonderful complete set.

1:28 am

jan

Ooh...just monkey-typed the missing j. It's been in the puzzles before--it's a Chinese coin.

1:28 am

sprite

Book... books are always nice!

1:28 am

My granddaughters really liked the "Totally Me" Scrapbooking kits (from Toys R Us) that they got for Christmas.

1:30 am

colored pens, fancy bookbag, drawing paper

1:30 am

cybernan

50 is a nice round number to leave for tomorrow, so I am off to my bed. Good night, all :)

The second letter on the coin is "i"

1:32 am

sprite

The coin is mostly vowels.

1:33 am

Blaze

Jan thank you big....

1:34 am

jan

Not at all, Blaze. BTW, did you get a lot of wind today? We had our power out for a while this afternoon.

1:35 am

Blaze

Yes, but only for about 1/2 an hour or so.... a few blips too... seems to be settled down now.... where abouts are you again??

1:36 am

jan

I'm in Seattle...

1:37 am

Blaze

I remeber now... so many to keep track of.... we are a little protected where we live... but lots of power outages.... it's the intersections that are the worst of course... seems people forget how to deal with a flashing red light.... duh

1:39 am

sprite

Just to get it out of my system: 'hyacinth' is NOT in this grid.

1:39 am

Blaze

NOr dullard

1:40 am

Good morning! Been lurking and listening to the rain for a while. 35 left to go and not an inkling in sight. Big decision of the morning is whether to call the guy who sands our driveway or not. Vermont obsession with weather-if it stays warm all day then the remaining ice might melt down to dirt which would be wonderful. If it drops while still raining then we will have several hundred feet of downhill luge run. Think I'll save the money, wait it out, but move the car down to the bottom of the driveway while th going is still relatively good. But the Yak Traks on my boots and hike back up. I know you were all fascinated by that but you were really helpful!

7:12 am

gramma

Eva, I'm about to suggest Ark Building 101 to my family.

7:13 am

FMitch

LOL Eva!!!
Just what I was going to say - move the car down the hill and if it does freeze you can lie on tin tray and slide down to it. Put a couple of hay bales at the bottom and voila!

7:15 am

Eva

right-from what I remember you are on somewhate lower ground....do you need to worry about flooding? luckily don't need to go further than the bottom of the road today, to get tortilla chips for nachos for the community superbowl potluck at my neighbor's house tonight. Most of us don't actually watch the game, but its a good excuse for company & food and teasing the few diehards who sit glued to the set.

7:17 am

tbear

Eva....it's good to share and anyway that little passage took me away from my 'issues' this fine Sunday morning and allowed me to visualize another life far away....which sounded a darn site more interesting than my girls raiding the kitchen...lol

7:17 am

Eva

FMitch-the solution to Vermont's no-snow financial woes- opening all our driveways for hire for ice/tray sledding! Do you want to sign on as the director of tray rentals?

7:18 am

gramma

No concern of flooding here. Don't you hate that the super bowl is on so late on a Sunday nite? I'm not a big fan; but, any excuse for a party ^_^

7:19 am

FMitch

Would love that job, just throught of a side line - 10 pin bowlling using person on tin tray instead of ball.

7:19 am

Eva

tbear-thanks for the reassurance re being boring. And yes, I love hearing about the different places and lives others are living. Someone elses minutia (sp?) are some much better than one's own.

7:20 am

Eva

Who will be the pins?

7:20 am

FMitch

Hey tbear (((hugs))) didn't see you come in.

7:21 am

FMitch

snowmen for the pins LOL

7:24 am

FMitch

right that's enough fun, back to the grid still ahve 44 words to find and I think it's time for BJs list, having just got at least 12 Oops in a row.

7:24 am

tbear

FMitch....hiya.....

7:24 am

Eva

Or human pinball-with bonus points for hitting crucial trees along the way down and living to tell the tale, and points lost for slowing one's descent by bouncing off the snow banks lining the driveway,and then there's the total wipeout of either bogging down in the ditch or shooting straight across the road at the bottom. I speak from experience with car, not tray.

7:25 am

Eva

tbear, who is the beautifully soulful/woeful woman in your icon?

7:26 am

nanet

my bitch...:)

7:26 am

FMitch

LOL Eva, I on the next plane, sounds like great fun and of course I'll need to test the run out first :)

8:45 am

FMitch

You are going to smile when I tell you what is in the oven for late lunch today, Fish Pie - have been hankering after for ages think it's all the fish talk in babble that did it.

8:47 am

Trotters

I'm off now folks to do mundane things, can I have the trout back please, its for dinner tonight. Bye

8:48 am

tbear

Sorry FMitch....trying to keep my temper with my 'babies' today so needed to let off steam....they were only virtual tins honey......lol

8:51 am

FMitch

8:52 am

tbear

Trotters what time do you want me in Bolton....I only drink red wine tho????

9:37 am

FMitch

Hi

9:37 am

trishtrash

ic + consonant + su4/5 reversed.

9:38 am

Haz1558

ic7/36 add part of proper name for womb

9:38 am

hurshy

9:40 am

hurshy

and perhaps au6?

9:41 am

caitlyn

Hi all just poppedin for a few mins to say Happy Birthday to miyavi has she been in today ?

9:41 am

Haz1558

au 6/24 - au plus with reference to plus you and me

9:41 am

trishtrash

if you have the au5/12 above it, Hurshy, add a 'u' before the last letter.

9:42 am

hurshy

a thousand thank yous

9:42 am

trishtrash

yw.... clue courtesy of Sha, earlier in the log, though.

9:46 am

trishtrash

I'm having a hard time with one of the su5 's ... I have the one resembeling fat, could someone clue me on the other? (and tell me if the 6 is plural, ta).

9:47 am

trishtrash

never mind, got it

9:49 am

hurshy

si 5/12?

9:49 am

Chris P

Hurshy - French for Mr, but minus the mon

9:50 am

hurshy

ugh, i'm beating myself up over how many of these i think i ought to have gotten last night.

9:50 am

Haz1558

the su6/27 is a pledge or formal promise

9:52 am

trishtrash

Thanks, Haz... I actually had the 6, was just having a dense moment! (two if you count asking if the 's' word was plural, when it's the only 's' in the grid, lol).

9:53 am

Haz1558

Not to worry - dense moments happen to all of us!

9:54 am

trishtrash

*grins* yeah, apparently I like to have mine in a public forum ;)

9:55 am

FMitch

LOL trish!!!!

macuser

Hi Trish

10:02 am

FMitch

mac - is that clue for the 1st or 2nd 5/12?

10:02 am

Haz1558

The first ta5/12 means silent

10:02 am

macuser

second one

10:02 am

hurshy

done, argh, i don't think i should start them at the flip, it makes me irritable.

10:05 am

macuser

Trish

10:07 am

macuser

10:07 am

hurshy

hey lola!

10:09 am

trishtrash

Hi Lola :)
Yeah, mac, but they're killing me.
Hurshy... I don't think so... ?

10:10 am

hurshy

trish - it sounds like an hu4 to throw

10:10 am

trishtrash

thanks for my last h, hurshy :)

10:13 am

hurshy

let's see if i can guess the t as effectively -
ta4 - like fortune telling cards but drop last letter?
or perhaps
ti5 - color with an extra letter in 4th position?

10:14 am

lola100

I can't seem to monkey the ja4 : (...please help??

10:14 am

lola100

LOL! Just did it! : D

10:14 am

Haz1558

They're all vowels, Lola

10:14 am

hurshy

ja4 - add...add...the initials of the host of "lifestyles of the rich and famous"

10:15 am

hurshy

oh shoot, and i was so proud of that clue

10:15 am

trishtrash

lol, no, got those hurshy... good guesses, but my last ones are usually the dumb, obvious ones (eg, I'm missing 3 of 4 re5s :/ )

10:16 am

lola100

Aww, thanks anyway haz and hurshy....great clues! : )

10:16 am

hurshy

those re5's are not obvious:
i assume you have the 12
then there's...sailing race minus the g
to do one's shoelaces over again
and same as that except change last vowel

10:17 am

hurshy

ta 4/5 greek letters? or mexican food?

10:17 am

macuser

Trish
Do you have the re5 that's... re + spanish aunt?

Hi All - LOL Lotti - I've ironed today too! Hubby normally does it but he has decorating duties -so I've risked having awful head & neck pain tomorrow. It's so long since I did loads that I quite enjoyed it - but the novelty had worn off by the time I'd finished!

11:01 am

FMitch

snowyowl

I've never got the hang of getting things out of the dryer before they're baked so I avoid it like the plague!
I always had to spend hours dampening it all again to iron it! My best friend when I ironed was the spray waterbottle. Made everything iron nicely.

1:18 pm

Norma

From the stats how do you know how many points each word is worth ??? Help

1:19 pm

hurshy

the second number - after the slash. four letter words are the points right off the tiles. five letter words, you double it. six, triple, etc.

1:21 pm

hurshy

so like if you could get "tract" in this puzzle, which you can't, it would be 5/12 - because each letter is worth 1 except c which is worth 2, for a total of 6, which gets doubled to 12.

1:23 pm

hurshy

get it, norma?

1:24 pm

lottijw

Whoa steady Hurshy....the math teacher is beginning to show!!!! lol :)

1:25 pm

hurshy

1:49 pm

harpjane

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said that I don't have a microwave? Or that I cook a fresh gourmet meal every night and take the leftovers to the food bank, so the idea of R*** leftovers is foreign to me?

1:50 pm

hurshy

well you do realize what they do with the leftovers AT the food bank, at least - you don't suppose they make the homeless eat cold food all the time...

1:50 pm

cybernan

ur 6/24, please?

1:50 pm

harpjane

2:06 pm

megax29

am stuck and cant find any words

2:07 pm

hurshy

how many have you got, mega?

2:12 pm

cybernan

Mega -- when I'm stuck, I usually split my screen and paste Brandyjack's list into a spreadsheet, fill in the word I have and work from there.

2:13 pm

megax29

14 words am new to this game

2:14 pm

hurshy

and, you are a boy, correct? have you ever taken karate or anything like that? one word is the name of the school where you go for that.

2:15 pm

cybernan

Another tip: once you find a word try adding different prefixes and endings to it -- often you will come up with more words that way.

2:15 pm

megax29

ya i took karte but broke my ankle

2:15 pm

megax29

thanx cybernan

2:16 pm

hurshy

but do you recall what the school was called?

2:16 pm

harpjane

one word left, help! ac 5/12?

2:16 pm

megax29

nope

2:16 pm

hurshy

harp - harrison ford's job is ac****, cut off the g

2:17 pm

megax29

why?

2:17 pm

cybernan

ac 5: sounds like a drug --- to do + opp. out

2:17 pm

hurshy

ok, have you found the person who seats you in a theater or at a wedding? us5.

2:17 pm

harpjane

Done! Yay! Thank you all!

2:18 pm

cybernan

Mega -- when you really love something, you ad*** it.

2:18 pm

Atalante

done!

2:18 pm

hurshy

congrats, harp!

2:19 pm

hurshy

and mega- just set yourself a goal of finding a greater percent of the words each day - don't expect to finish the whole thing right away.

2:19 pm

megax29

puppybowl is showing on the dicovery channel one of the dogs is my teachers lol

2:20 pm

cybernan

Mega do you have the ca that you draw from a deck?

2:20 pm

megax29

i got like 250 point and 27 words last time

2:20 pm

megax29

nope

2:21 pm

hurshy

but since each puzzle has a different number of words, try keeping track of how many you get divided by how many there were that day.

2:21 pm

cybernan

It takes a while to get used to the game -- don't give up. Pick one tile and keep looking around it until you find some words.

2:22 pm

cybernan

Take the ca that you draw from a deck (it might be an ace or a jack) and change the last letter for another word.

2:25 pm

cybernan

In fact you can get two more words by changing the last letter of the ca 4 plus a plural

2:25 pm

cybernan

I'm off for my lunch and to watch the rest of the curling.
Bye everyone, and thanks again, Hurshy :)

3:02 pm

lottijw

It varies Hurshy.....The further north you go, the colder it tends to be......like Scotland is normally the first to get the snow!!!

3:03 pm

Babbler

only a couple of degrees or thereabouts, hurshy, When we talk of north and south, we're really only talking a couple of hundred miles, but cos of the way the land lies, and the sea around us, there's a big difference. The north tends to have damp cold, and the south drier cold. Would you agree, Lotti?

3:05 pm

lottijw

Yeah, it does seem to be that way.

3:05 pm

mo

mo

hurshy ...i have it now thanks to you

3:15 pm

Judi

You Brits will be happy to know that I'm going to an real English pub for fish and chips tonight. It's called Stoney's (in Wilmington, Delaware). Owned by a transplanted Londoner who used to be a record producer. He worked with the Rolling Stones, Spice Girls, etc. Has a platinum Stones record displayed in the bar.

3:17 pm

Judi

For you youngsters, "records" are those large round, black vinyl discs that you see in second-hand shops.

3:17 pm

tbear

Judi make sure you put salt and vinegar on them.....and ask the 'londoner' for eels

3:18 pm

mo

does anyone have a clue for the last or ultimate re5/10....i have the re+neckwear...please

3:19 pm

GoBraves

do you have the "nuclear" one?

3:20 pm

Judi

Tbear - salt and vinegar are available. However, being yanks, we prefer tartar sauce and/or ketchup. With any luck, he'll have sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Everything he has is to die for.

3:20 pm

aknitter

what are eels? Do you mean the fishy things???

3:21 pm

tbear

Judi......fill your boots.... Aknitter..yes

3:22 pm

aknitter

you EAT them!!???!!!

3:22 pm

tbear

eels as in elvers

3:23 pm

Judi

Er, no eels (thank goodness). However, he does offer mushy peas, yorkshire pudding, and bangers and mash.

3:23 pm

mo

GoBraves as far as i know i have'nt

3:23 pm

aknitter

had to google elvers --- gross

3:24 pm

renfield

eels?????

3:24 pm

tbear

Aknitter....not personally....lol

3:24 pm

Judi

I've had sushi eel. How do you folks prepare them, Tbear?

3:25 pm

aknitter

do you eat them like spaghetti? All I can think of is a seagull slurping them down head first and in one gulp

3:25 pm

GoBraves

anyone know the number of words in today's puzzle?

3:25 pm

tbear

But they are Londonium speciality

3:26 pm

aknitter

braves there 149

3:26 pm

tbear

GoBraves 149

they get pretty big aknitter - in many parts of Asia and South America they are cut into round steaks along the lenth of the body and broiled or cooked into stews

3:26 pm

Hi all -- happy birthday, Miyavi fan!

3:27 pm

GoBraves

yeah, I'm with you on that one. I've seen people fishing for them in Louisiana and Mississippi even

3:28 pm

Judi

Yuk. I would think deep-frying eel would be the only way to go. Even then, I think I'd have to be starving to try it. Eel sushi was a dare ( and not a pleasant one).

3:28 pm

chic

Hiya, can I get a clue for the re 6/21, please?

3:28 pm

GoBraves

what a microwave does well, chic

3:28 pm

Judi

Chic = warm it up again.

3:29 pm

aknitter

i've eaten some pretty weird things but ... eel? Don't think so. When I was in Japan my host family used to like to slip in weird things and not tell me what they were until after I tried them UGH!

3:29 pm

ch1212

Chic, it's what you do to warm something up again.

3:29 pm

3:45 pm

ch1212

MIyavi, your birth number 'personal' year beginning today is actual 13, so there you go. It's a numerology thing, actually turning into a 4 personal year --- a good year for material growth as well as spiritual. A year for building on your successes of the past 3 years. You go!

If it's a big grid tomorrow, I'm not going to play. It's choir practice on Mondays so I'm out all evening.
We are learning a new repertoire for a concert trip to Germany in April.

6:59 pm

6:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi All - Just checking in to see who pops in during half time --- I am busy sorting baby clothes to see if I need to buy anything -- SB on in background --- Loved the commercial for FedEx with the cavemen!! ROFL!! :D

7:02 pm

periwinkle

Hi Grey Woulf

7:03 pm

musicmom

Hi everyone. I'm here but mostly watching football. Ex the trip to Germany sounds great. What are you singing?

7:03 pm

doxy1lover

si5/12 - another with lots of vowels
si5/10 - an Indian instrument

7:03 pm

kimmie

7:03 pm

doxy1lover

hi GW

7:03 pm

periwinkle

7:04 pm

doxy1lover

bye peri. see you tomorrow

7:04 pm

kimmie

by peri hagn

7:04 pm

musicmom

I loved the caveman commercial. Also thought the Dr. Seuss NFL commercial was great and the Burger King Whopperettes. The magic fridge is clever.

7:04 pm

kimmie

darn i was indisposed at that time

7:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi peri -- bye peri (*hug*)

Hi doxy -- how's the baby?

7:05 pm

doxy1lover

finally sleeping in my arms. she has been awake most of the day and is very tired

7:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Musicmom-- so do you think they made a bad call on the TD? -- personally I think so (and remember my house is for the Steelers :) )

7:06 pm

kimmie

and mommy is happy she is finally asleep

7:06 pm

GreyWoulf

kimmie -- are you the mommy?

7:07 pm

musicmom

YES!! It was terrible. He had that ball tucked low and in the replay you could see him move it out after the play was blown dead. Oh well. 2 more quarters. Maybe that will fire up the Seahawks.

7:07 pm

doxy1lover

GW, are you talking about the flag on the play?

7:07 pm

kimmie

i am. i love it most of the time.

7:07 pm

musicmom

Ben R went to our biggest rival college. No way can I root for him. <g> I only live four hours away from Pittsburgh.

7:07 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy -- yes -- to my uneducated eye - it looked like it had never passed the plane of the endzone

7:08 pm

GreyWoulf

Congratulations, kimmie! --- that's how I feel about my new son too ;D

7:08 pm

doxy1lover

watching halftime show. does this guy never age?

7:09 pm

renfield

never...

7:09 pm

kimmie

ty GW. It is hard because baby's dad has been away for a while and i think she just wants him and is afraid to fall asleep or she might miss him.

7:09 pm

ExWren

Hi musicmom, we sing a broad selection of light to serious songs, show songs, Mozart & Bach, Carpenters, Abba, Phantom and Les Miserables

7:10 pm

doxy1lover

7:10 pm

musicmom

Nope I just told Greg these guys will be performing in wheelchairs. I think it is cool.

7:10 pm

GreyWoulf

7:13 pm

GreyWoulf

7:14 pm

doxy1lover

not too bad if you can concentrate.

7:14 pm

renfield

yes - it does take some concentration

7:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Then I will have to wait til later -- hard to concentrate with Kristianna insisting on her computer vids as well ;)

7:15 pm

kimmie

evr1 keeps watching the game and/or commercials. i don't think i have found a word in 10 min.

7:15 pm

musicmom

Can't really give a fair assessment since my attention has been divided since I sat down here.

7:16 pm

renfield

what do you need kimmie?

7:17 pm

doxy1lover

7:17 pm

kimmie

7:18 pm

kimmie

and i keep looking at the tv

7:20 pm

kimmie

doxy will brb.

7:20 pm

musicmom

I probably should give up for tonight... between the SB, my 5 year old picking the longest fairy tale in history for her bedtime story and my older daughter wanting to have my input on her outfit for tomorrow (that never happens unless I want my attention elsewhere.) But I'm tenacious at best so I'm going to continue to press on.

7:21 pm

GreyWoulf

Which faerie tale?

7:21 pm

kimmie

hagn mom. cu

7:23 pm

harpjane

silly me--is there a game on? I've been skiing since church!

7:23 pm

musicmom

Guhleesh - It's an Irish tale about a simple lad who rides with the fairies on All Hallow's Eve.

7:23 pm

musicmom

It's a great story, but I was in the mood to read something shorter tonight. She loves it because it is full of princesses and horses. Her two fav. loves.

7:24 pm

GreyWoulf

I'll have to check that one out, MM -- I don't recognise it by name, but I am big into faerie tales of all cultures -- esp British Isles

7:25 pm

doxy1lover

hey harpjane

7:25 pm

musicmom

She picked it at the library. It had two criteria she looks for most - a horse on the front and a billion words on each page<G>

7:25 pm

doxy1lover

musicmom, that sounds like a great book.

7:25 pm

GreyWoulf

I can empathise with you, mm -- Kristianna has hit the phase of asking for me to narrate faerie tales so she can sneak in staying up for an extra 5 mins :)

7:26 pm

musicmom

Just a minute - I'll get the information from the cover. ...<walking across the room>

7:27 pm

musicmom

The full title is
Guleesh and the King of France's Daughter

It is a Magic Lantern Fairy Tale book. Great illustrations in this one too.

7:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks mm -- will definitely look it up at my library!

7:28 pm

kimmie

well i gotta go. doxy put baby down and she is waking up. gotta feed her and get mself some dinner.

7:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Time for a late dinner here as well, kimmie

Bye guys. The game is almost back on.

7:30 pm

doxy1lover

7:31 pm

musicmom

Nope just a really bad call on a challenged play.

7:32 pm

doxy1lover

it's been really quite this afternoon. I think most people are watching the game. Steelers just scored a 75 yd TD

7:32 pm

Back to finally work on the grid :)

10:26 pm

10:27 pm

JoJoFunLvg

OK, the Seahawks lost, but it wasn't a blowout, and I am still proud of them.

10:28 pm

renfield

hey wolfie
hey jojo...we're proud of you!

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey, JoJo -- it was a well fought battle -- though Kirsten and I both think that the very 1st Steelers TD should have been reversed when it was challenged

10:30 pm

billie1987

can u give me a bit more hlp with them clues plz

10:31 pm

renfield

billie - si 5/10 = si + consonant that looks like a cross + 1st vowel + r

10:31 pm

GreyWoulf

hint on the 1st ur5?

please?

10:31 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: To be fair, I heard the description of what the white line means, and the Steelers did make the touchdown. All they had to do was touch the white line, which they did. However, the Boulwarre TD for Seahawks should have been TD, the Steeler guy touched him first, and then Boulwarre touched him back, that should have been pass interference by the Steelers. But what is, is what is, so be it.

10:33 pm

renfield

ur + 1st ,2nd & 3rd vowels +

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

JoJo -- from how they explained it, the ball has to pass the line, not the player, but I agree with you on the other -- that is how it seemed to my extremely non sports savvy perspective

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you ren :)

gumpunk

okay, 5 to go, I'm giving it 5 more minutes - any help with the he 6/21, the first se 5/10, te 6/18 or the two ta 4/5's (I have the one that means speaking carefully) - thanks!!

10:35 pm

renfield

he 6/21 - the thing in your house that keeps you warm

10:36 pm

JoJoFunLvg

Woulfie: I thought, what I heard, was that all the player had to do was touch the white line, and I think the Steeler's did it. It was very obvious to me and my hubby, that the ref's were definitely for the Steelers, as everyone else in this country was. But, it is over, but am still poppin' my buttons for the Seahawks.

10:37 pm

renfield

se + consonant + 1st & 3rd vowel

10:37 pm

renfield

te + the last 3 letters of the se 5 i just gave made plural

10:38 pm
