Morning quick :)

12:19 am

ch1212

morning back all - I agree with sprite - quick. 119 words so far, and this grid is bursting!

12:19 am

Quick

Hi Sprite

Do you think today's puzzle will be any easier than yesterday's?

12:20 am

Quick

yes Ch1212, I've already gotten more words than I did on yesterday's (which I did not finish)

12:21 am

sprite

Quick: so far it is, but hey, we'll only know that for sure when we get to those last 30-odd words and find they are at least as hard to find as the last ones of yesterday's grid...

Hi Sprite -- been researching Amsterdam hotels -- which part of upper or lower town is the best to stay in for easy walking distance to everything we are likely to want to see?

p 7/40

12:24 am

harpjane

o, duh, p 8/55 (plural of the 7/40 I just found!)

12:26 am

sprite

Hi nan! I asked my love about hotels and he couldn't help out. He usually camps out, lol, so he doesn't know that much about hotels.
If you look at a map of Amsterdam, you will see that its center is shaped as a couple of rings inside eachother. As long as you are within the outer ring, you can get everywhere by foot. But if you can find a hotel in other parts, it's no problem. There are trams and busses everywhere, usually with no more than 10 minutes between them.
Amsterdam is small, compared to cities you are used to, I think.

12:27 am

cybernan

Thanks, Sprite -- we really couldn't tell from the city map we have just how great the distances are.

Nan, I just measured a map and the widest part of Amsterdam center is about 3 kilometers wide. That's the part within the rings of canals.
As said... Amsterdam is small ;)

12:32 am

cybernan

Good -- there's lots of places that will be just fine, then.

12:33 am

sprite

When will you be visiting?
If you like to have a homecooked dutch dinner, you are more than welcome to come by and visit us too :)

12:36 am

cybernan

That's very good of you, but we only have 2 days before we move on to Brussels, so I don't think we will be making any trips outside of the city centre!

12:36 am

cybernan

We arrive the evening of May 24.

12:37 am

cybernan

m 7/40

12:38 am

sprite

No, that's really short indeed. You will only see a snapshot of Amsterdam in that time, even without other visits. Too bad!
Enjoy your stay, nan, it's a very nice city!

12:49 am

Nan, I stayed at the Canal House Hotel when I was in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. It was a good location and a nice hotel. Very close to the Anne Frank House.

12:58 am

No -- we only did that once! -- have it cut down to a 24" and a carry on, now.

mrpresident

Oh Jac!! Nasty sh** of a day too!!

5:56 am

Jacula

I keep seeing 'Taggart' (name of Scottish murder detective series in UK) in this grid. Makes me keeping saying ,'Merdur!' (I love the way the Scots say 'murder' - makes the word sound just as menacing as it really is.)

6:14 am

Eva

good morning! Well, this looks a bit more normal. Any clues for that al8 & 9 combo?

6:15 am

Eva

Does it come from the 5 letter root meaning to change?

6:16 am

Punster

Eva, yes

6:19 am

Eva

You would think that knowing that would clarify everything but noooooooooo

6:20 am

Punster

Eva, the al words are made up of two other words from the grid

6:20 am

FMitch

Afternoon
Eva - add a tiny insect for the 8 & pl for 9

6:21 am

Eva

Thanks guys! Had tried everything but that of course!

6:22 am

Jacula

FMitch - Thanks! I hadn't got those either.

6:23 am

FMitch

Hi Jacs, always glad to help when I can.

6:36 am

lshult

Just come back to my computer (have to worrk sometimes!?!), thanks for the clues for the al8 & 9.

6:41 am

EvaNadine

gmornin babblers!

6:42 am

FMitch

Helloooooo !

6:44 am

EvaNadine

big grid today -- get ready to feel defeated!

6:44 am

Jacula

Sorry, FMitch, I had to leave the office for a while. Thanks again for the clues.

Hi, Evanadine.

6:46 am

Jacula

Evanadine - Don't be defeated before you begin. I found 150 words in about 20 mins/30 mins. With the 2 FMitch clued me in on I'm now more than halfway through the grid. If I can do it, so can you.

6:47 am

FMitch

Actually it not too bad for a grid of this size, I had a slow start but once you get into it ...!!!

6:48 am

lshult

I'm stuck on the ag8?

6:50 am

Jacula

Sorry Ishult - I don't have that yet.

6:51 am

FMitch

add to the ag5/14. The def for the 8 is of or pertaining to the a5/14.
Start from the a on the left hand side, 1st column.

6:53 am

Jacula

Got it! What a silly word! Thanks, FMitch.

6:54 am

FMitch

I've just finished the a's and there are a couple of really stupidhead words as Griff would say.

6:54 am

lshult

got it FM, took me a while to spot the right ending!!

6:58 am

Jacula

I want to know why you can't 'pad' or 'tip' something again. Damned 're's'!

7:00 am

lshult

how about the al7?

7:00 am

FMitch

urgh, don't remind me, re's always seem to be the last lot I have to sort out to complete the grid ... might go and have a look at them now and get them out the way.

7:03 am

FMitch

just had a peek at BJ's list and there are 15 x re :((

7:04 am

Jacula

Are there? Well, I have 11 so far (re's, that is).

7:05 am

Jacula

I see Atalante is almost in today's grid.

7:05 am

FMitch

WTG Jac !!!! I have 3 LOL

7:08 am

Jacula

FMitch - Let me know if you need any clues.

Ishult - Haven't got the al7 myself yet. Looking for it though.

EvaNadine

7:15 am

Jacula

167 words down, 89 to go. Time I had some lunch and sorted some laundry. Don't know where all this washing comes from - I'll swear complete strangers sneak in off the street and shove things in my laundry bin!:-(

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

morning, Jacula--happy washing!

7:16 am

FMitch

Funny that happens to me to Jac, see you later.

7:16 am

Karys

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

7:18 am

Chessy

.. and the ones who eat everything in the fridge and take the last apple :/

7:20 am

Karys

we have an unkown,unseen resident in our house...we do know it's name tho'....it's called ' not me '....he or she gets everywhere !!!

7:21 am

Jacula

ROFLOL, you lot.:-))) That'd be the same complete stranger who hides car keys, tv remotes etc., would it?

Really going now. TTFN.x

7:23 am

EvaNadine

7:25 am

Karys

7:26 am

lshult

pa8- places of much merriment

7:27 am

8:22 am

hurshy

ok, i'm doing pretty well, but maybe that last al7?

8:22 am

Anj

gah! anyone else with the overwhelming urge to type axial, Arselnal, palantir & patent : /

8:22 am

FMitch

ch1212 - I think the icon is Elaine Page in the musical Cats?

8:23 am

Anj

Hursh, remember Uptown Top Ranking by Donna & Al.... gets you most of the way there. Ends in 3 vowels...

8:23 am

ch1212

and let's not forget 'garment' anj :)

8:23 am

Angelsong

anj, add penant to your list :)

8:23 am

trishtrash

another name for the rose of sharon, Hursh, buncha vowels on the end... I can probably break it into a better clue if you need it?

8:23 am

hurshy

and enrage

8:23 am

EvaNadine

anj -- didnt go...like i said saturday, i didnt have any more friends who were available + i didnt wanna drive all that way alone in that kind of weather (we ended up getting a foot of snow at my house)
so i just spent saturday night alone and cranky.
:/

8:24 am

ch1212

good heavens, FMitch, of course you're right. (sheepishly thinks how on earth could mix those two up?!)

8:24 am

hurshy

ok i have no idea about this uptown top ranking, is that a song?

8:25 am

EvaNadine

heh, yes, im Cats!
woulda been the rum tum tugger but grizabella is much more recognized...hehe

8:25 am

Atalante

hi all! what's the theme for today?

8:25 am

hurshy

8:25 am

Anj

Hursh, yup...in fact I think it was Al.... & Donna...google it and ad an extra A : )

8:26 am

faeriekae

Hi - can only play for few minutes then I must go grocery shopping or I will starve. Living alone one doesn't need much, but, I need food. Donuts, Chocolate, Cereal, Milk, Bread and such....

8:26 am

FMitch

LOL ch1212
Evan - gor for it if you want to be Rum Tum

8:27 am

Anj

Awww (((EvaN))) that's a real pain : /

8:27 am

hurshy

need one of the 5/10's after the an7 - have one that looks french...

8:27 am

Anj

Atalante, it's Musicals and Shows I thinks : ) Stage rather than screen...

8:27 am

lola100

Hi guys! : )

Hey babe (((xxx))) : )

8:28 am

trishtrash

change the vowel, Hurshy :)
faerie, you're my kind of shopper ;)

8:28 am

Anj

Hi babe : ) (((xx)))

Hursh, try changing the last vowel to another one...

8:28 am

ch1212

sure, evanadine, be rum tum ... after all, I'll probably think Rum Tum looks like Michael Crawford :)

8:28 am

hurshy

actually it's film OR theater.

8:29 am

hurshy

but definitely musicals.

and thanks trish and fish please.

8:29 am

at the point where im actually debating whether or not to include her on my "friends" list at all anymore...
shes pulled this kinda of thing one too many times now, and im just fed up.

she even wrote about it on her blog, but she wrote about it in a way that people should feel sorry for her for being so busy...
then she immediately followed it up with another blog about she spent all of friday night making out with her Ex...some guy who shes "absolutely in love with" (though they only dated for a few weeks and he needs serious mental therapy) but she knows she "cant be with him"

*ugh*

EB - Just saw Wicked this past fall. Loved it :)

lianakate

9:07 am

lianakate

Do see it if you get the chance EB. I saw it in Chicago on my girls' weekend. Anna Gasteyer from SNL played the lead. She was wonderful - Great story - good songs...

9:10 am

Jera

Well, I have big news... today my husband is earning his REAL DAD stripes... taking both kids to the dentist all by himself... let's have a moment of silence in his honor...

Deutsch

Hi friends, here just for a bit before I go to the Police Academy

9:19 am

amandacath

Hi all! Any clues for the fa5/22? it's evidently not in a2z, or it's in the wrong order on BJ's list, or - most likely - I'm being thick and just can't find it

9:20 am

Bugzy

Bye EB -
Hi Deutsch and amandacath - sorry, don't have fa5/22 :)

9:21 am

Tigereye

Fa 5/22 similar to toffee but change the first vowel to an a

9:23 am

amandacath

sorry Tiger, not getting that one - toffee? You probably mean a brand name that I don't know...?

9:24 am

Bugzy

Oh - thanks tiger - i got it...
amandacath, like a kind of chocolate sweet that usually starts with fu ... change the vowel

9:25 am

Uneaixoise

tiger's referring to a kind of chocolate candy lots of us make esp around the holidays . . .

9:25 am

amandacath

thanks Bugs - I was right. I was being thick.

9:27 am

rosalind230

Hi all any clues for the an 7/28 please

9:28 am

amandacath

rosalind - clue's been given, scroll down a bit

9:28 am

Uneaixoise

an4/4 + what we breathe

9:30 am

Jera

*slightly perturbed apgar isn't valid*

9:31 am

Angelsong

Jera, apgar is a proper noun.

9:32 am

amandacath

Ah! I wasn't being thick, I was being da4/8!

9:32 am

Jera

I guess so, just figured it's common enough to have passed into the vernacular... silly me...

9:32 am

Bugzy

LOL amandacath !

9:33 am

ch1212

thx for the clue amanda -- I was just starting on the d's! :)

72 Temple Owl

9:40 am

spellit

Thanks for clues - all done now

9:40 am

amandacath

jera - something like "three cooking containers"

9:42 am

Jera

tyvm, amandacath!

9:42 am

amandacath

I wasn't sure that would help - you're welcome!

9:45 am

hurshy

boysaway - still here? nice icon.

9:46 am

Karys

I can't find the ha7 or ha8......can anyone help please ?

I have the ha7 stoppers

9:49 am

amandacath

Karys - it's what you put dirty laundry in (believe it or not) - change the 2nd consonant to the symbol for sodium

9:49 am

hurshy

what a very lovely clue amandacath!

9:51 am

amandacath

glad you liked it! Giving clues is almost more fun than finding the words!

9:51 am

hurshy

could someone possibly oblige me with one for the first fa 5/16?

9:51 am

Karys

amandacath....thank you so much...I just couldn't find it !!!....got it now :)

9:52 am

Karys

first fa.....up left and follow it up

9:53 am

Karys

'cept drop the t and add first vowel

9:54 am

hurshy

karys, as far as i read it, that would give me faeaa

9:54 am

harpjane

ta 7/32?

9:54 am

amandacath

... or like flora and fa*** - change a vowel

9:55 am

hurshy

ah, thanks amanda

9:56 am

rosalind230

clues for re7/32 please

9:57 am

amandacath

I only got it from a2z - don't like to have to resort to it, but sometimes it just doesn't work any other way!

The Ta7 = ta4/5 + opposite of short - one letter

9:58 am

amandacath

re7 - sounds kind of like "like a slimy animal"

9:58 am

Vicuna

re7/32 - means crawling like a snake or lizard, or think of a word for sorry and remove the middle "en"

9:59 am

rosalind230

thanks for the clues

10:00 am

Tigereye

First Pa 5/16?

10:01 am

10:33 am

Jacula

Sorry, Hursh, haven't got that one yet.

*Sits hopefully in wait for clues.*

10:34 am

Ta6/21 Misspelt person from Thailand + Pots and ***s

Oh! The most poisonous Aussie snake. Got it now! (ta6/21)

10:38 am

Jacula

(Could have sworn I'd already tried that.)

10:39 am

Jacula

Temple - To save you some typing, you can neither 'tip' nor 'pad' something again.

10:41 am

Jacula

Just found my last 're', thank God.

10:41 am

harpjane

you can't make lace again either! lol

10:43 am

Jacula

Harp - After reading that, I just had to try the last part of 'coup d' ****'. Didn't work though.

10:44 am

Jacula

Speaking of 'aliens who want to phone home', I see the Sicilian volcano's back again.

10:44 am

amandacath

Jacula, I try that one every time - in the bizarre hope that somehow it will have made it into the list of accepted words

10:45 am

amandacath

...and I forget the volcano every time

10:46 am

Jacula

I like the eg4/7. It's cropped up a couple of times lately. The first time I saw it I typed it in for a joke. Gadzooks!

10:49 am

amandacath

That's exactly the same way I got the eg4/7 the other day - one of those "I'm sure it won't be a word but I'll type it in anyway"-words.

10:51 am

Jacula

Amandacath - I knew it was a word, I just didn't think it'd be a Babble word. Should've known better! The more unlikely it looks, the more likely.... etc.

10:56 am

harpjane

I'm a little over half way. Time for breakfast!

10:57 am

amandacath

That's what I meant - I know it's a word and you know it's a word, but does Babble know it's a word? My attempt at eg4/7 was after Babble had refused realtor, no matter how many times I typed it in. So I was sceptical that it would be taken. But lo! It was and I saideth 'Od's blood!

10:59 am

hurshy

done!

11:01 am

hooray for hurshy!

believe it or not, Realtor is a trademark word.

11:07 am

amandacath

I'm glad I'm not the only one who missed that one - the re6/21, I mean. I felt quite da4/8 after searching forever for it!

11:08 am

LeslieAnn

ooh thanks for the da amanda :)

11:09 am

amandacath

harp - that was the only plausible explanation I could think of for realtor not eing accepted. Thanks for confirming.

YW, LeslirAnn - I like that word. I'm going to try to use it more often.

11:10 am

2:32 pm

Jen

Actually, I wore a sarong and had my hair dyed black and my body tanned with stage makeup! Then went on to add my child-like voice in other productions including Ballad of Baby Doe and my first Sound Of Music (later went on to co-star in a production of it as the Mother Superior... yes, I could hit the high note!)

Good visit... they were excited to see their only grand child.

Oh, is there not one maiden breast
Which does not feel the moral beauty
Of making worldly interest
Subordinate to sense of duty?
Who would not give up willingly
All matrimonial ambition,
To rescue such a one as I
From his unfortunate position?

a SOAP! no no, friends lovely sitcom, not horrid soap.

ok al8 - al5+ picnic ruining bug

hurshy, the trivia match was hysterical!!

3:23 pm

hurshy

i know, possibly best episode ever, EXCEPT for one flaw...

3:24 pm

hurshy

when chandler and joey said a wrong answer in the lightning round, ross moved on to another question right away. when rachel and monica couldn't get chandler's job, they kept guessing and ross just let the time run out. so the whole thing was unfair.

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

but riddle me this: why, when phoebe got married, was there no hint of frank, alice, the triplets, her birth mother, her father...

3:26 pm

Uneaixoise

dunno . . .

3:26 pm

cybernan

Thanks, Hurshy -- odd how you can monkey type all around something and never come up with the right one!

3:27 pm

hurshy

and why, in barbados, did rachel seem as if she had to make an effort to recall curious george, when it had been clearly stated in an episode with marcel that rachel had a curious george doll. doesn't add up.

3:27 pm

Uneaixoise

marcel!!!!!

3:28 pm

hurshy

remember the line? "let's just say my curious george doll is no longer curious." there was also one about a barbie not being able to wear white to her wedding.

3:34 pm

Uneaixoise

alternate spelling of rose of sharon

3:36 pm

sherb

hi smaller :D

3:36 pm

hurshy

an article is a word like "a" "an" or...

3:39 pm

hurshy

and, oh, i should have mentioned that the two vowels you have to add don't both go on the end, one goes before the end, and they are both the same as each other.

3:40 pm

HI Sherb!

hursh-i must be off on the root. thought it was the al5/10, understand article def, but no two vowels by where i end up apres article

3:41 pm

ok, my clue was horrible. so sorry.

so for al7, if you put together things i said at 3:17, 3:22, and 3:39, it should get you there (although possibly giving you a headache on the way)

3:46 pm

hurshy

fa 5/22 the red _____ of courage (rhyme)

3:47 pm

hurshy

th7 "i'm older ___ you." "really, what's your ___?" put 'em together.

3:48 pm

3:56 pm

hurshy

sandy, to recap: for al7, if you put together things i said at 3:17, 3:22, and 3:39, it should get you there (although possibly giving you a headache on the way)

4:12 pm

hurshy

it is a kind of bird, that's all. but it can also be slang for one who chatters a lot. and possibly a nickname for someone named margaret - seen "runaway bride"?

4:12 pm

Oh yes! My beloved and I are unabashedly great fans of hers, and own all (I think all) her movies.

4:15 pm

hurshy

well, i'm not like that. but i do like to see someone so gorgeous being so very silly.

4:17 pm

ch1212

As an actress, she's always had that ability to make you forget how beautiful she is, and her willingness to be totally silly makes her seem more like the girl next door.

4:18 pm

ch1212

Julie Andrews was another -- she could do great comedy, and make you forget she had this astonishing beauty and voice.

4:18 pm

hurshy

on a semi-related note, i thought nicole kidman was as cute as a kitten in "bewitched"

4:19 pm

ai?

4:19 pm

ch1212

I agree --- it was her voice that was wrong, but I said years ago that if they ever did a remake, she HAD to play Sam, she looks so much like Elizabeth Montgomery.

it's funny, i don't see THAT much of a resemblance between them. but i didn't really care, i'm not a stickler about things like that. and i thought her voice was one of the cutest things about her (although you're right, nothing like E.M.'s)

4:22 pm

OK, probably never would have monkeyed that! Thanks Hursh (no Excedrin Migraine needed for that clue, it was great). Makes me done, bye now.

Yea bunnyvicious!

oh, my, and that little dog in bewitched was so cute too!

4:23 pm

smithchick

Bye bunny, congrats!!!!!!!!

4:26 pm

ch1212

and since we're on the 'related notes' I think the best dog I've seen in years has to be the cute little one on As Good As It Gets. I think his name was Arnel, or something like that. Just precious, especially the scene where Jack Nicholson is trying to make him go to the rightful owner.

Oh hurshy, sounds like you're doing a great job as a parent. I realized with mine that I WANTED her to be independent, speak up, challenge, think for herself... just, of course, not with me :-) All I can say is it's wonderful to be the parent of an adult person, now, and that we all understand.

ahhh, yes... we had a German exchange student, and it is tough when they need a frank discussion about boundaries, courtesy, and so on.

hurshy

i can see how one can take one's own parents for granted, of course, but when someone unrelated is really going out on a limb for you...

4:41 pm

smithchick

Well hurshy, basically you're parenting the kid whether you gave birth to him or not.

yes, i definitely am. i mean, he could just be living in the dorm like the other kids. i took him in so i could parent him.

My sister is doing the same for my 18 yr. old nephew (still a junior) -son of another sister and she was telling me just today that he is an ungrateful brat.

4:43 pm

hurshy

oh, like jess on gilmore girls!

4:43 pm

boreetos

hi kids

4:43 pm

hurshy

greetings, boreetings

4:44 pm

smithchick

Hi boreetos. Hurshy- don't know. The only shows I really watch are Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. I missed them both last night, though. Bummer!

4:45 pm

boreetos

boreetings, eh?.... yeah ok. :)

4:45 pm

hurshy

i taped DH, but am hoping to see the prev 2 episodes before i watch this one. got way behind bc the cable was out several weeks ago.

4:45 pm

hurshy

sorry boreetos, i'm a little silly :)

4:45 pm

boreetos

nice icon Hurshy, great movie.

smithchick what's your icon?

4:46 pm

boreetos

that's ok, silly is good.

4:46 pm

ch1212

Ohmigosh, smithchick -- we tuned into Grey's Anatomy for the first time last week, and HAD to find out what happened with the bomb last night. I'm sorry you missed it! Be sure to watch on the reruns. I was stunned.

4:46 pm

hurshy

my teenager is funny - sometimes he'll be so sweet and grateful and affectionate, and other times cold and hostile and stuff.

4:46 pm

ch1212

hurshy, that's not funny :) just normal. Roller coaster of emotions .. you couldn't pay me enough to be a teenager again!

4:47 pm

hurshy

speaking of medical shows with bombs, anyone remember the ER episode where dr. ... omg i can't remember his name... the black guy who dated corday before she got together with mark... benton! where dr. benton cut that bomb off that guy and threw it in the corner at the last second?

4:47 pm

outnumbered

I still can't get it...is the al 7 from the same al 5 as the 8 and 9?

4:47 pm

hurshy

no, outnumbered - its fourth letter is an H

4:48 pm

hurshy

then all vowels after that

4:48 pm

ch1212

Grey's was like that last night, only without the nicer ending. People got killed in the explosion in last night's (but not saying who, no spoilers.)

4:48 pm

hurshy

ooh.

4:49 pm

smithchick

Sorry, tuned out for a while. My icon is Rent. My mother, sister and I went and saw it last year when we went on a NYC trip. Very good.

4:50 pm

mo

cannot find the ge6/27 HELP PLEASE if you can

4:50 pm

outnumbered

ok, got it! ty, was reading the clues wrong I guess

4:50 pm

boreetos

oh definatley SmithChick, I saw it back in 2001, when it rolled through Seattle, I just couldn't tell! Great show though, did you see the movie version? I heard it wasn't very good.

4:50 pm

smithchick

Well, if life (as portrayed in T.V.) was convenient it would be McDreamy's wife:)

4:51 pm

ch1212

I would love to see that on stage. The movie version was good, though. My icon is a Sondheim musical, in case y'all didn't know. We love all things Sondheim in the house.

4:51 pm

hurshy

ge 6/27 - ich bin ein berliner... etc

4:51 pm

boreetos

hey ch1212, i don't want to alarm you or anything, but one of the S's in Passion is backwards!!

4:51 pm

smithchick

Haven't seen the movie, boreetos. The show was one of those where you do a lot of thinking after seeing it.

4:52 pm

boreetos

true, like don't trust anyone who says you can live for a year in huge building rent free. :)

4:52 pm

ch1212

are there any clues for the th7/40, and the ta7/8 combo (but not the office one, again, I seem to be in a fog today understanding clues!)

4:53 pm

periwinkle

Hi,everyone, late start, just got home from work. Wish this puzzle was on the weekend.

4:53 pm

mo

got the ge6/27 thanks

4:53 pm

ch1212

boreetos, it's supposed to be that way. It's a layered musical about opposites and love, and what it is and isn't. The 'logo' of the show is with the opposing Ss

4:53 pm

smithchick

Lol, boreetos!

4:53 pm

hurshy

th7 - "i'm older ____ you." "really? i'm 87, what's your ___?" put them together

4:53 pm

smithchick

Hi, periwinkle:)

4:54 pm

hurshy

ta 7 - what you go to the beach to get, plus how old you are, plus one more consonant, ta8 is pl

4:54 pm

boreetos

ch1212. :)

4:55 pm

ch1212

hurshy, as always, you are the CLUEMEISTER or MEISTRESS... thx!!

4:55 pm

hurshy

speaking of not trusting people, have you seen that commercial or infomercial for the stuff that helps you focus, and how they'll send you a free bottle. and this woman says, "they'll give you some for FREE? it must be good!" and you can't help thinking, "the first sample of cocaine is free..."

4:56 pm

ch1212

LOL! hurshy!

4:57 pm

smithchick

Haven't seen it, hurshy.

4:57 pm

hurshy

what, it's true.

4:57 pm

boreetos

wow, uh no, I haven't seen that. That's pretty messed up. Have you seen those twisted anti-smoking ads with the dolls? One has a little girl chewing on a dead rat, and the tagline reads: "Kissing a smoker is just as gross."

4:58 pm

hurshy

i guess you can't get teenagers' attention without shock value these days...

4:58 pm

evanonut

got my attention, chewing on rats you say?

4:59 pm

smithchick

I guess if I was a smoker, I might be offended by that, just a little. Hi, evan...

5:00 pm

evanonut

heya - as a non smoker/chewer - i think it an excellent comparison

5:00 pm

boreetos

yeah, i mean i don't smoke, but I imagine that fear tactics aren't the best way to keep children from trying it.

5:01 pm

evanonut

either that or make'em use a whole pile of cigarettes in one sitting, make them hate it

5:01 pm

boreetos

having never kissed anyone who was a smoker either, I really have no basis for comparison, so maybe they're right. :)

5:01 pm

smithchick

I think someone needs to do that with me and Krispy Kreme donuts!

5:02 pm

evanonut

i'll be right over with a box smith chick, we'll get started

5:02 pm

boreetos

well crap, 150 words to go. I gotta to get back to work. Have a great rest of the day everyone!

5:02 pm

I just went to BJ's list and realized what I'm missing: one of the ta 6/21's that follow the narrow candle (I have the plural), and the ta5/12 that follows the strange ta7 word right after the two 6/21's... is that clear as mud? THANK YOU!!!

6:06 pm

I'm missing the re7. Am I just being completely dense?

7:27 pm

Jera

*pats MamaBear comfortingly on the paw*

It's not so bad when you break them into second letter chunks...

7:28 pm

mamabear

I'm thinking I better not even start this thing...

7:28 pm

Jera

re 7 = 1st 4 letters of scaley creature like a snake + picnic ruining insect

7:28 pm

periwinkle

MamaBear, It is not as bad as some of the other puzzles, give it a try, you can do it.

7:28 pm

mamabear

Oh and forgive my rudeness.... hi to everyone! Was taken aback by the A thing... and forgot my manners

7:29 pm

Jera

If you are just now starting, MamaBear, it would be stressful to finish, i think... can you just have fun finding a few or are you compelled to finish??

7:30 pm

periwinkle

UP to 150 which is more than 1/2 of the words. off to watch the Olympics. may come back later if I am not too tired.

7:30 pm

smithchick

Hi, mamabear. Could someone tell me what part of speech together is? I can't remember and I'm too babble-brained to think of it.

7:30 pm

mamabear

I tend to lean toward the compelled to finish side.

7:31 pm

Jera

Oooh... maybe you could just chat with us a bit then, MamaBear? :D

7:31 pm

smithchick

TY Jera! Finished the r's!!

7:32 pm

mamabear

I'm thinking "adverb", smithchick.... but it's been a long time .. not 100% sure

7:32 pm

Jera

Glad to be helpful, smithchick!!

7:32 pm

musicmom

is is a verb

7:33 pm

Jera

Those R's were no joke... whew!

7:33 pm

mamabear

How a verb? It's not an action??

7:34 pm

musicmom

because being something is an action
The dog is brown

Dog is subject
is is the verb
brown is the adjective

7:34 pm

gramma

Could you guys please help me out? I need 2 words RE 7/32 and TA 6/18 ...the 1 after the birds. I haven't been very chatty tonite. I'm just trying to get thru :(

7:35 pm

mxzombie

gaahh!! i'm having problems with the two "i" words!
anyone else?

7:35 pm

musicmom

also known as a predicate. (Oh I hope none of these words are in today's puzzle. I'm not really here)

7:35 pm

mamabear

I thought she was asking what part of speech "together" is..... I could have misunderstood.

7:36 pm

outnumbered

together is an adverb...it describes how something is (to be) so it modifies that verb

7:36 pm

musicmom

Duh I'm the idiot that couldn't read the question.
Told you I wasn't really here.

7:36 pm

gramma

it plus a vowel and **** and rave

7:36 pm

musicmom

together is an adverb

7:37 pm

mamabear

that's what I thought!!! :)

7:38 pm

gramma

the little i is full of vowels other than the high point consonant ( which is the 2nd letter)

7:40 pm

gramma

mxzombie, those clues were a bit convoluted. Did they help tho?

7:42 pm

mamabear

So how was everyone's day?????????

7:43 pm

gramma

Never mind I got the ta 6....still need the re 7, please.

7:44 pm

gramma

Hey there Mamabear...^_^

7:45 pm

harpjane

mama, glad you asked. I threw up last night. Don't know why. I don't feel sick. Anyway I decided to stay home today. Yay!

7:46 pm

smithchick

Thanks everyone, I thought that too, but he has only a limited number that can be adverbs, so I needed to make sure. He must have missed another. My 13 yr. old thanks you, too. This is what happens when you are absent and then forget to bring your book home to do make-up work!

7:46 pm

mamabear

:(
well, I'm glad you aren't sick-sick, harpjane!!!!

7:47 pm

smithchick

Hello everyone who came in on the chat log while I was busy not helping my son with his homework!

7:47 pm

mamabear

that's what mom's are for, chick!!! Well, one of the things anyway!

7:48 pm

gramma

Got the last 1....c ya

7:49 pm

mamabear

Just took a gander at the stats grid. 38 P's???????? Yikes!!!! The P stands for palpitations - which it gave me when I saw it!!! LOL

7:49 pm

harpjane

I think I'm fine. I have to make lasagna tonight. That will be a test....

7:50 pm

mamabear

lasagna is a lot of work to make! ARe you sure you are up to it?

7:51 pm

musicmom

I've had a good day today but a busy one. Haven't even looked at the second letter list on banon. There is no way I'm going to finish. I keep typing words in when I see htem but I'm not pushing it tonight.

7:51 pm

smithchick

Okay got another. It's confusing because it can be an adjective, a pronoun, or a conjunction.
that- as in "feelings that draw people together"

7:52 pm

Eva

does anyone have any clues to spare for the first an5/10 & 6/18? I'm missing a lot of the an;'s and just need to get myself oriented.

7:52 pm

mamabear

I think it's still an adverb, since it is modifying the action "to draw"

7:55 pm

smithchick

He's filled his quota of adverbs unless tired (as in- they looked tired and afraid) isn't one.

7:55 pm

Jera

Well, I'm off to tuck the littlies in bed... might be back for the turnover... rotten cold makes sleep impossible for any length of time... goof night, all!

7:56 pm

smithchick

Night Jera, TY for all the great clues!

7:56 pm

mamabear

good nite jera - good to see you and hope you feel better and sleep well!!!! *get better hugs*

7:57 pm

Jera

1st an 5/10 = a + opposite of far... the 6 is its plural

7:57 pm

musicmom

night jera

7:57 pm

Eva

Thanks jera!

8:11 pm

smithchick

If nobody needs any clues, I'm going to go help Tim some more. Anyone?

8:12 pm

renfield

8:12 pm

musicmom

No thanks Smithchick. Have fun doing homework!

8:12 pm

smithchick

Hey, ren. How are ya?

8:13 pm

smithchick

Thanks, musicmom. It wasn't fun then and it isn't fun now, though:)

8:13 pm

renfield

i'm hanging out smithchick...just arrived home from the office!!!

8:14 pm

musicmom

I know we have been doing simple and compound interest here. ICK!

8:16 pm

smithchick

Eewww. Well, my children surpassed my ability to do math long ago (except the 2nd grader- I can still keep up with her). Shhh, don't tell hurshy:)

8:16 pm

renfield

what's w/ all the P's again???????

8:16 pm

smithchick

That's a long day, ren...

8:17 pm

musicmom

The interest stuff wasn't too bad because we just bought a house and went through all that. Plus I do direct sales and deal with percentages all the time. Science is the subject that frustrates me.

8:18 pm

renfield

yes amithchick...sometimes i long for the days prior to eduction...when i had a pet barricuda and didn't have a watch!!!

8:19 pm

renfield

musicmom - are your children doing interest?

8:19 pm

smithchick

LOL, ren!

8:20 pm

renfield

not only did i not have a watch somedays i wondered if i would have a hand left or right after feeding time...

8:22 pm

musicmom

Sorry stepped out for a minute. Yes Sarah (the 11 year old) has been doing interest.,

8:22 pm

smithchick

Well, I guess I'm outta here. Bye all:)

8:23 pm

renfield

8:23 pm

musicmom

8:51 pm

Jacula

Hoot - Thanks for the offer but I finished the grid about 5.30/6pm in the UK afternoon. It is now 2.50am here.

Oh good grief - why are you up? I thought I was the onlt owl around here! :)

Jacula

Hello Doxy. Have you got snow there in Utah? Time to make that stew, if so!

8:56 pm

hootowl

That has got to be confusing across the world! But at least , if you sleep, you're wide awake instead of nodding over the keyboard.

8:56 pm

doxy1lover

not much snow, just cold. I have 6 days off coming up. i'm thinking about making it this weekend.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Sorry, Doxy. Being Taurean I have rather an 'earthy' sense of humour.

9:00 pm

doxy1lover

you ought to work where I do. We can come up with some really "earthy" things there too. I'm used to that kind of sense of humor.

9:00 pm

Jacula

Ren - you WERE? Oh. I will wait with baited breath.:-)

9:02 pm

Jacula

I watched South Pacific for about the 10th time yesterday, whilst doing the ironing, thanks to this theme day.

9:03 pm

Jacula

But, as I said earlier, what on earth possessed them to name the heroine Nelly Forbrush??

9:06 pm

I belive that was realism back then And I think it's Forbish

9:07 pm

renfield

mistress...it's sent!!!!

9:10 pm

Hoot - I just checked the film (which is one year younger than myself) - it's Nellie Forbush.

9:17 pm

hootowl

Interesting. On-line distionaries don't have it. Think it's a pig. Or sloth. Or sompin like that...

9:18 pm

Jacula

The ta is related to horses and rhinos but not pigs.

9:19 pm

hootowl

Found it on Wikipedia. Looks like a pig with a long snout. But it isn't.

9:19 pm

Jacula

Use ta5/12 (to narrow) and change the 2nd vowel to a first person singular vowel.

11:43 pm

The BF was sleeping cause he's been working nights and I was able to work on it this afternoon. Weird, weird words. Lots of monkey typing. He'll be working the next 4 nights and I may be able to finish them all.
I may be new at Babble but not new at Boggle. A favorite!

11:45 pm

hootowl

Then after 4 days off he'll start day shift and who knows?

11:45 pm

kristinc

Hoot, then your experience will serve you well. (I had no doubts!) So, if he's working tomorrow night, will you get a belated special valentine's day?

11:46 pm

hootowl

Not sure. He may have something planned for the morning. We'll see.
And I may not tell! :D:D:D

11:47 pm

Doxy it's just different tastes. I was into it until about 2/3 of the way thru.

11:53 pm

hootowl

Night Nan

11:53 pm

doxy1lover

that is true. there are other movies that some people love and I really don't care for.

11:54 pm

hootowl

Want to compare? :D

11:55 pm

doxy1lover

nah, I think the list would be too long, hehehe!!!! :D

11:56 pm

hootowl

I also admit to predjudice. I hate when someone makes a show famous but is "not good enought" for a movie. Bull!

11:57 pm

hootowl

Might be fun though. Get a lot of different opinions from this crowd methinks!

11:58 pm

hootowl

Does anyone else feel like this game is like New Years Eve every night?

11:58 pm

doxy1lover

I think you are right about the opinions here. Lots of different personalities

11:59 pm

hootowl

I'd love to have that conversation though. But not, I think, here.
