1:17 am

mummy

Hi Mr P, I am in your neck of the woods now.. well, sort of, in Aus anyway, escaped from the -5 temps in uk

1:19 am

mrpresident

mummy... where are you at?

1:20 am

mrpresident

helen...are stats up for second word?

1:21 am

helenkeller

mrp, i haven't looked yet, don't want to cave in too early, lol

1:22 am

sherb

I like not having the stats for a while... makes it more of a real test... but I'm always happy when they appear later..

1:22 am

mrpresident

I have them if you want them... just looked, BJ hasn't posted them yet

1:23 am

renfield

mrp - how does yoir husband do that?

1:23 am

Morning dear gang :)

1:24 am

mummy

Hi MrP, in your rival city, the living city, Melbourne..

1:24 am

renfield

howdy sprite!!

1:24 am

mrpresident

sherb... I like them early because I only have a few hours from when I get the puzzle to actually finish it!
That is my excuse anyway :))

1:24 am

sherb

morning sprite :D ...here's one to get your teeth into...

1:25 am

mrpresident

ren... he is a programmer, he wrote a program... he is a smarty-pants!

1:25 am

sprite

Nice, I want one like that today :D
Let's see how far I'll get without stats panel today. Just a quick look for the biggies and the total.
I fear that that X is pretty useless today. Yesterday's was nicely positioned ;)

1:25 am

renfield

that's kool!!! i like him being a smarty pants!!!

1:26 am

mrpresident

mummy, Melbourne is just like the UK for about 6 hours a day! Weather is 4 seasons in one day!!

1:26 am

mrpresident

ren, just bookmark it... he updates it everyday!

1:27 am

GreyWoulf

(*sprite*) -- just in time -- I am about to go to bed myself -- wanted to be sure you knew that all are well and healthy in the woulf den :)

1:27 am

sprite

mrP, what a great way of putting that :D

1:27 am

mummy

Yes, MrP, I know, we lived here for 4 years, it's good to come back for a bit of warmth

1:27 am

mrpresident

grey! didn't get a chance to say hi before...

HI! ((hug))

1:28 am

sprite

I was wondering about that, Woulf! *big hug for you and yours*
Glad to have seen you for a moment. Sleep well. Does Seb give you enough quiet to sleep?

1:28 am

GreyWoulf

hey mrp -- sorry I gotta go, but the eyelids are falling and getting harder ans harder to prop up :)

Will be back at some time tomorrow :)

1:29 am

renfield

i bookmarked it last week mrp. tell him thanks!!! it;s like having an extra set of keys for your car when you're away from home....8)

1:29 am

mab

A few favorites so far:
TA 6/18, yiddishkeit pronunciation of Hebrew for prayer shawl.
Wi 5/22, euphemism for penis.
WE 5/22, one British boot.

1:29 am

GreyWoulf

Seb is beginning to sleep in full 2 hr blocks so I can actually get something -- this AM he actually slept for almost a full 3 so things are beginning to look up :D

1:29 am

mrpresident

LOL ren... he is online... will let him know!!

Bye Grey... sleep enough! ;)

1:31 am

GreyWoulf

1:43 am

Atalante

306 wheeeeeee!

1:43 am

sprite

And you are in the grid for the most part, Atalante :)

1:43 am

renfield

Atalante - you sound excited!!!

1:45 am

Atalante

well, I have to be excited about something today - otherwise it's destined to be a very boring Sunday. husband has new playstation games so I won't see him all day!

1:47 am

sprite

LOL! Well, if the big kid is playing, he's behaving... and you have time for you own games ;)
I bought Guild Wars yesterday... also very addicting. Such beautiful graphics. My character was walking yesterday and all around her were falling autumnleaves. Incredibly refined scenery.

1:48 am

renfield

atalante - my husband has a new antique model auto to build...he's got the dvd playing and his mini tools building the engine....

1:49 am

Atalante

toys for boys! I think I'm going to take the chance to draw all day long without being whined at that I should be doing something more useful :P

1:50 am

sprite

Or just counter with: "More useful like playstation games?"

1:51 am

Atalante

*snerk* yes!! Except he'd probably turn round completely seriously and tell me PS games are very important and useful

1:53 am

sprite

There is actually not one single argument that would go for playstations games and not for drawing. Or babbling. :)

1:53 am

Atalante

I agree! but it keeps him content and out of trouble :P

1:53 am

renfield

reverse psycology...ah gee it's 306 words, i'm not sure i'm going to do this today...."ah...go ahead and at least start it." (smiles to self) ok if you think so....

1:55 am

sprite

That's it, Atalante... as long as they are being good, let them play :D
LOL renfield... works everytime, right?

1:56 am

mab

I wonder if elderly people would enjoy some of these dvd's and play station games...

1:56 am

renfield

yes - 8)

1:56 am

Atalante

can I show off a bit? can I? please please? the results of yesterday's hard labour - http://www.deviantart.com/devi ation/29885635/

1:57 am

mab

Oh yes. Thanks Atalante.

1:58 am

Atalante

my mum plays playstation stuff when she's down here! and I like playing scrabble on it - its not just boom kapow action games

1:58 am

sprite

Actually, I would love it if you showed off a bit more often :D :D
Beautiful, Atalante! So harmonic and intriguing!

1:59 am

Blaze

atlante.... I am at your web and the numbers say not available... what do I click on from your home page??

1:59 am

Atalante

for once, I'm really really pleased with it and I'll probably spent today playing around with similar ideas

1:59 am

Atalante

there's probably a space in the url, blaze - babble automatically inserts them *sigh*

2:00 am

mrpresident

I have heaps of wonderful xbox games that are not bloody and crap... I play online with other people in word games, casino, etc... I enjoy all of that! But LicketysplitAUS is an xbox HOG!!

2:01 am

Blaze

I am at the site page but it says file not found...

2:01 am

sprite

I am glad babble puts in spaces now. Remember that nagging creature that used to come along and put in very long lines of jibberish, scrambling the layout of the page? Can't happen anymore now :)

2:01 am

Atalante

huh - how weird! it's definitely there :(

2:02 am

renfield

it's there atalante - you do very wonderful work!

2:03 am

licketySplitAUS

Talking games are we? Well, there is a new one being written by the author of the SIMS. I've watched a 1 hour demo video of the author talking about it and playing it, and I predict it to be the most talked about game in history. Anyone interested search video.google.com for Spore.

2:03 am

mrpresident

nagging creature!! perfect description!!

2:04 am

Blaze

got it.... wow really good.... thanks for sharing

2:05 am

Atalante

I'm glad for spaces too - apart for in urls!

2:05 am

sprite

lickety: I'll remember that :) I love predictions from experts.

2:06 am

sprite

True, in url's it takes a bit more attention. Copy - paste - TAKE OUT THOSE SPACES - enter.
LOL ;)

2:07 am

sherb

Atalante - it's beautiful, and I hope you win :D

2:09 am

licketySplitAUS

Thanks Sprite. It takes me a fair bit to get excited about a game, but Spore encapsulates so many genres and also tackles evolution, social behaviour and everything you do changes the dynamics of it. It's very hard to explain. At the start you are like playing pacman under a microscope and by the end you can be creating planets and exploring galaxies in which other people have designed and/or conquered.

2:10 am

Atalante

thank you all *blushes* :)

2:10 am

sprite

Sounds good, lickety. What kind of game will it be? Only playstation, xbox and such, or PC too?

2:11 am

mab

Mangopore -- I love the sound of that. It's beautiful, Atalante. I like the ways of looking at it -- Maori, Celtic, hammerhead shark, shield, the spirals and knots.... Gorgeous.

What was your medium?

2:12 am

licketySplitAUS

Not too sure where it'll be released - sounds like the plan to go onto as much as possible - even handhelds if they can. It's been developed in a way that uses lots of compression and all about rules - so anything you design can be shared very easily cause it's so small.

2:14 am

sprite

If it will be released for PC too, I will certainly check it out. And if it is for gameboys, I'll let my son check it out ;)
Argh, got to go... taking the kids to aikido. Back in a few hours. Happy hunting all!

2:15 am

mab

Bye Sprite.

2:15 am

renfield

later sprite!

2:15 am

licketySplitAUS

Anyways - enough on the topic - Check out Spore at video.google.com from Will Wright. It's very interesting and I bet that you'll be hearing much more about it from May onwards (E3 - big game conference)

2:15 am

sherb

later sprite :D

2:16 am

Atalante

thanks Mab :) I'm really getting into Maori design - its so beautifully organic. And its just ink and pencil (the black and grey)

2:20 am

mab

Wow. You do beautiful work. It already looks like a print. Like one of the commenters, I'm symetrically challenged too! Now I will have to look at Maori art - don't think I ever have. Thanks.

2:27 am

Atalante

symmetrically challenged is such a good phrase *bounce* and Maori art is wonderful - so fluid and organic and beautiful

2:32 am

LUCKY

Hi all back again does anyone have the lettercounts for today already?

6:04 am

sherb

*rolls up sleeves...* ...ok, let's see if I can finish this one...

6:05 am

sprite

You can, sherb. You will. Even if we have to dreg you ;)

6:08 am

sherb

thanks sprite :D ...it's just I need to finish quickly... can't afford to spend all day on it today...

6:10 am

sprite

Nope, me neither. Down to 35 now, and I just opened the stats panel to see what I am missing. Do you have the compound S7/48?
And the big animals, Wi6/30 and EL5/12? I thought both were related to D4.

6:13 am

Eva

Good morning everyone! Nice change from the little ones lately, though I don't think I've ever been able to finish one of these longer ones. Have 150 so far so I think I'm going to pretent that I'm just beginning ....maybe that will do the trick. But first the cat-before he sinks his teeth into my mouse hand in frustratioin.

6:14 am

sprite

Lol eva. Cat and mouse, no wonder...

6:16 am

sherb

morning eva :D

sprite - I'd find it impossible to resist the temptation to look at the stats panel... I need to at least know how many words there are starting with each letter, even if only to know how badly I'm doing...

6:18 am

sprite

I always look at the stats panel when I start, to see how many words total and how many biggies. Only then I close it ;)

6:22 am

ExWren

Right. I'm going to have a go, but don't say "I told you so" when I start moaning about the size of this grid.

(I only wanted to try out my icon)

6:22 am

sprite

Like thie icon :)
And you will do just fine.

6:23 am

sherb

good luck, ExWren :D

6:44 am

6:54 am

Eva

bex777

and I wonder why I'm putting on weigh....kept blaming the winter...it's Babble and Babblers....inactivity and desire.....how about that for a good balance.....

6:57 am

sherb

bex - didn't you get mrp's list earlier?

6:57 am

Eva

watching the food channel doesn't help either.

6:58 am

bex777

yes but it confuses me i like the one that says the first and second letter and how many there is of each

6:58 am

sherb

hmmm... but desire often leads to activity...

6:59 am

tbear

Give up.....I'm gunna get fat and pretend to be happy...even when I have to roll off the couch....Eva be a love and pass the fruit tart...oooo and the cream...thankyou

7:00 am

7:01 am

tbear

and see who eats fastest.......remember that I'm a bear

7:02 am

Eva

tbear-sheath those claws please

7:03 am

Eva

or shall I just set it out on a rock for you? Our bears will be waking up soon. Makes me sad because I'll have to take the bird feeders down until next winter.

7:04 am

bex777

thanks sherb!!!!!

7:04 am

tbear

Eva, your saying that reminds me...when i had my girls small my good friend neil and I used to take it in turns doing dinner or pud onece a week ...wwll some of these puds were huge and we'd start by having a regular slice and then another until the day we looked at eachother and just cut it down the middle...mind you we were both stick insects at the time and could get away with it

7:05 am

tbear

Eva...I'm a nice bear....claws sheathed

7:07 am

Eva

Yes I often wonder why we pretend-those little slivers that always end up shaving the whole thing down to nil. I was never a stick....and now have to be incrediibly careful about blood sugar levels so as not to become diabetic. But very dark chocolate is my salvation. And I do a lot of baking for our little community store. That way I get the pleasure of baking, but immediately get it out of the house.

8:14 am

Eww, gross........LOL

10:03 am

Jacula

Here's a gift before I leave. A list of words that all have the sometimes vowel to end them:

al5/14 - to set fears to rest.
al4/6 - a friendly associate, often against a common enemy.
da5/16 - linger. 'Don't dilly da*** on the way,' as the old song goes.
de5/16 - One vowel different to the above. Rhymes with another word for 'stomach' & sounds like a sandwich shop or an Indian city.
de4/7 - to declare untrue.
ne5/14 - a disparaging term for an effeminate man. Or , if you are not going to do something, you might say, 'Not on your Ne***!'
re6/24 - truly.
re6/27 - to declare untrue again.
re5/16 - displaying scarlet or crimson.
si5/14 - daft or stupid.

See next post for more.

10:04 am

Jacula

st7/36 - not fresh (adverb form)
sw6/36 - spiralled, whorled or twisted.
ta5/14 - add up.
te5/14 - you may watch this.
tw6/36 - twisted or winding. Or what UK bus drivers call OAP's who try to use their buss passes before the correct time and always as, 'Am I too early?'
we5/22 - rubber boot.
wi5/22 - A short prince or a pet name for a man's 'tackle'.
wi4/10 - artful, like the fox or The Coyote.
wi4/10 - someone may be 'thin and wi**' rather thanflabby.

Happy hunting! See you all later.x

10:25 am

hurshy

10:25 am

faeriekae

WOW-that's even better.....

10:26 am

hurshy

hear that, movieman????

10:27 am

hurshy

ok, this is bad. i need some chocolate. i'm at 200 words, so i think a quick grab of candy is permissible

10:27 am

EvaNadine

dunno if its my FAVORITE but i am a big fan of my dads trifle.
:D

10:28 am

faeriekae

Go for it Hurshy - I'm having a M&M's right now...lol

10:29 am

movieman

What about my ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS ice cream sundae, then.........?

10:29 am

faeriekae

Evan-Trifles sound gooooooooddddddd.

10:29 am

EvaNadine

i usually go for the fruity desserts.
:)

10:30 am

movieman

Faerie - just as long as she doesn't put mince in it, like Monica did in "Friends".......LOL

10:30 am

EvaNadine

heh, no, i do know how to make a proper trifle.
;)

10:31 am

hurshy

a couple weeks ago i had some white chocolate cheescake with a chocolate crumb crust topped with orange-strawberry sauce and real whipped cream. you could not believe how good it was.

10:31 am

faeriekae

My very favorite in the whole world is Coconut Cake....or maybe German Chocolate Cake or maybe, no for sure it is my sister's Chocolate Pie......

10:31 am

EvaNadine

sounds heavenly hurshy!

10:32 am

movieman

I really shouldn't be babbling today.......I'm supposed to be on a diet........LOL

10:32 am

faeriekae

Movieman-lol-that was a good episode.......No mince Evan!!

10:33 am

hurshy

what?? redeal is so a word. you accidentally see someone's card as you're dealing, so you have to redeal. right?

10:33 am

EvaNadine

was a good episode...
but still not as good as "PIVOT!!"

10:34 am

hurshy

lol, i love them both. and the one with chandler in the pink bunny suit.

10:34 am

hurshy

"no bunny at all! always no bunny at all!"

10:35 am

Sherylr1961

down to 148 words gonna take a break for awhile, happy babbling all

10:35 am

faeriekae

I like Ursula!!!!!!!

10:35 am

faeriekae

Sheryl bye:)

10:36 am

hurshy

but the trifle one was so good because it wasn't just that. it also had the stuff where the gellers find out all ross and monica's secrets, and phoebe dreaming about jack, and then jacques cousteau, and then that speech to chandler about sticking with ross through the drug problem and what a wonderful person he is...

10:36 am

LEMONed

Wow...something I know a little about...subtitled episodes of 'Friends' started me off learning English :)

10:36 am

hurshy

how can you like ursula?

10:37 am

hurshy

lemon, you're back!

10:37 am

LEMONed

so it would seem! konnichiwa, Hurshy-sensei, good afternoon! :)

10:37 am

movieman

Hursh - because she looks a little bit like Phoebe, no wait a minute, she looks EXACTLY like Phoebe......LOL

10:38 am

hurshy

konnichiwa, lemon (but it's not afternoon here yet :)

10:38 am

hurshy

but movieman, she's so... naughty.

10:38 am

LEMONed

Aa...it is that time difference again! Good morning :)

10:38 am

faeriekae

Ursula-she is such a tramp....lol.....and remember the movies that Phoebe was supose to be staring in ????

10:39 am

faeriekae

What is the bartenders name?

10:39 am

hurshy

thanks, lemon. :) how are you? didn't see you yesterday.

10:39 am

hurshy

bartender? you mean gunther? but it's a coffeeshop, not a bar...

10:40 am

macuser

the bartender's name is Gunther

10:40 am

LEMONed

I am fine, thank you! hai, I was out with friends yesterday...exhausted today, of course ^^ How are you?

10:41 am

faeriekae

Gunther-yes thank you...and you are correct Hurshy it is a coffee house not a bar...

10:41 am

hurshy

you can't get me with trick questions...

if a rooster lays an egg exactly on top of a roof that is slanted equally on both sides, which side will it roll off?

10:41 am

hurshy

i'm fine, thanks lemon.

10:41 am

faeriekae

Macuser-Hi, how's it going today?

10:41 am

spellit

It's a miracle!

10:42 am

movieman

Hursh - Roosters don't lay eggs, they're male......

10:42 am

LEMONed

senturalu pekku...is it call Central Perk? There is no way to write that in Japanese...no matter how hard you try! The subtitling always said senturalu pekku :)

10:42 am

faeriekae

Spellit-what?

10:43 am

macuser

Hi faeriekae! :0 Just trying to get throught this grid! How are you?

10:43 am

spellit

You have really weird poultry in the US Hurshy! And I've finished - brutal today

10:43 am

hurshy

and see, movieman cannot be tricked either

10:43 am

hurshy

yes lemon, central perk. do you understand the pun?

10:43 am

faeriekae

Congrats *%*%*%*%* Very well done Spellit..

10:44 am

LEMONed

pun? *wakes up* er...I missed it, I think...where? ^^;

10:44 am

spellit

Off to an Aled Jones concert now - so bye all

10:44 am

macuser

Congrats, spellit!! :)

10:44 am

LEMONed

Have a good time, Spellit-san :)

10:45 am

faeriekae

Macuser-doing good. Probably won't finish today I have lots going on this afternoon/evening. But I'm giving it my best shot right now.

10:45 am

movieman

Hursh - that's like another riddle I know.......

If a plane carrying 200 passengers crashes on the border between the US and Canada, where would the survivors be buried......?

10:45 am

LEMONed

Macuser-san, your icon is beautiful :)

10:45 am

hurshy

new york city, where they live, has a large park called central park, and perk is what you do to make coffee (it's actually short for percolate)

10:46 am

hurshy

movieman - all these were on the cosby show, i think. :) you don't bury the survivors. do you recall the one about the car accident and the doctor?

10:46 am

LEMONed

Really?! I would never have got that in a million years...how did you figure that out?!

10:46 am

EvaNadine

the survivors wouldnt be buried! they survived!

*rimtap*

10:46 am

hurshy

well... i'm an american

10:46 am

movieman

Woooh, everyone's a smartass today......LOL

10:46 am

macuser

Go for it, faeriekae!

Thank you LEMONed :)

10:46 am

Atalante

*yawns* back. too many words to go ...

10:47 am

spellit

I'll leave you with an old chestnut - How far can you go into a wood?

10:47 am

hurshy

so tom cruise is also your favorite dessert, eh, atalante? can't really say i blame you...

10:48 am

hurshy

halfway! then you're going out again.

10:48 am

EvaNadine

the car one is something like:
Mike and his father were in a car accident and rushed to the hospital. When the ambulance arrived at the ER, the surgeon said "I can't operate on this man, he's my son."
How is this possible?

10:48 am

faeriekae

Evan-LOL
looks like you are serving Punch Bowl Cake
I might say I make a pretty darn good punch bowl cake myself.....

10:48 am

Atalante

sounds about right LOL! *whizzes off to find dessert icon* Can I have Hayden Christensen?

10:48 am

spellit

It's his Mum

10:48 am

Jera

Greetings, all... how goes it today?

10:48 am

movieman

Evan - the surgeon was the boy's mother......

10:49 am

hurshy

if you want, atalante - but i don't think he's as good a choice as what you've already got.

10:49 am

LEMONed

Evanadine-san, would it be his mother?

10:49 am

EvaNadine

never heard it called "punch bowl cake" before...heh

10:49 am

hurshy

ok, so we are all up on our old riddles. good to know. :)

10:49 am

EvaNadine

yup, it was his mother

10:51 am

Atalante

ok, no Hayden today *sob* instead lemon meringue pie - but but but - it has to be *South African* lemon meringue pie

10:51 am

faeriekae

Evan-yes, I made on 2wks ago for a party my ex-sister in-law was giving. I didn't attend but she did ask if I would make the cake for her..We are still good friends.

10:52 am

hurshy

mmm, looks good atalante

10:53 am

EvaNadine

ive just always heard it called a Trifle

10:53 am

faeriekae

Has anyone had fruit pie....Cherry pie filling, strawberries, kiwi, mandran oranges, bananas, and whipped cream.....

10:55 am

LEMONed

I know a riddle...but I do not know the answer :/

10:55 am

EvaNadine

what is it lemoned?

10:56 am

hurshy

tell us, lemon, maybe we can help you out

10:56 am

lola100

Hi guys! : )

10:56 am

LEMONed

Okay...I have to think about how to translate this! There is an irregular shaped cage, which must be divided into two equal halves to put a lion and a tiger into each respectively. How is it possible?

10:57 am

faeriekae

Hi Lola ((((x))))

10:57 am

Atalante

ooooh Lola! I was just thinking that you'd understand the blisssfulness of SA lemon meringue pie (if you like lemons and meringues and pies!)

10:57 am

hurshy

lemon, that doesn't sound like much of a riddle... i mean, why should that be difficult to do?

10:57 am

LEMONed

konnichiwa, good afternoon Lola100-san :)

10:59 am

lola100

Hi faerie! (((((x))))) Thanks, I needed that.... had a lousy week : /

Hi lemoned : )

Hey atalante! Mmmmm, you mean the kind made with condensed milk? Yummy! : )

10:59 am

LEMONed

but Hurshy-sensei, I could not figure it out...if the cage is irregular...Aa, it is probably my translation that is the problem :) gomen ^^;

10:59 am

hurshy

lemon, what's the japanese word, maybe i can look it up on that website?

11:00 am

EvaNadine

sounds more like a math problem than a riddle...

11:00 am

Atalante

yup - the condensed milk version :) I just love love love love it!

11:00 am

hurshy

anyone else have a burning desire to put in "lady"?

11:00 am

faeriekae

Lola-sorry to hear that hon. How about a dash of my special faerie dust* sprinkle*sprinkle*sprinkle*
t here that should make you feel better (*^_^*)

11:01 am

hurshy

yeah, that was my thought, evanadine. i mean, you could always divide horizontally so one is above the other, that would be the easiest mathematically. otherwise, you can do it using calculus.

11:01 am

lola100

atalante, funny but I've actually been thinking about making it. Don't know which biscuits to use for the base though.... do you know which Uk biccies are like Tennis biscuits?? : )

11:01 am

faeriekae

brb

11:01 am

LEMONed

er...oh :) In that case, maybe it is not my translation...just my bad maths ability :/

11:02 am

hurshy

but if it was told to you as a riddle... maybe it is something in the translation...

11:03 am

Atalante

my mother always uses a mix of rich tea and digestive biscuits for it, but I think you could use either - digestive for a sweeter base, rich tea for a less sweet one

11:04 am

lola100

Aaah, hadn't thought of using two types of biscuits! I'll give that a try next week..... shall I post you a slice?? : )

11:04 am

LEMONed

hm...possibly...Aa, well, I am probably missing something out ^^; Warai, I am no good at this! :)

11:05 am

Atalante

mmmmmmmmmmmm now I'm thinking about making some myself!

11:05 am

hurshy

warai, it's ok lemon

11:05 am

Eva

It's much too dangerous to be here today.....will end up in a diabetic coma through virtual over______

11:06 am

Atalante

I wish I could make some koeksisters as well, but those are far beyond my culinary abilities

11:07 am

hurshy

you can estop someone, it's a legal term, right? so why can't you e +st5 them in the meantime?

11:08 am

Judi

Good day, all. Sticky toffee pudding for lunch today?

11:08 am

lola100

atalante, those are my sister's favourites and I was thinking of surprising her with some on her birthday this year. I used to help my gran make them when I was a kid. They are more schleppy than difficult : )

11:09 am

Eva

what are koeksisters?

11:09 am

hurshy

maybe this wasn't such a good theme suggestion after all. i'm starting to feel sick just looking at all this rich food. :)

11:09 am

lola100

Hi judi! : )

11:10 am

Atalante

maybe one day if I'm feeling brave I'll have a go! and they are intensely sweet syrupy batter things. LOL - Lola - a better explanation please!

11:10 am

chic

Hey guys, how's it going? Need a stomach pump yet?

11:11 am

hurshy

*looks forlorn* i'm glad it's a bigger puzzle but i've only greyed out 3 boxes so far... 84 words to go and very slow at this point. what about you atalante?

11:11 am

Eva

sound a bit like sopapillas?

11:12 am

Atalante

112 words to go, hurshy, but 4 boxes greyed out!!

11:12 am

hurshy

sopapillas are fried dough, right? i LOVE fried dough. it's the only thing as good as chocolate mousse.

11:12 am

hurshy

well i'm not counting the two with 0...

11:12 am

lola100

koeksisters are a strips of plaited dough, fried in oil and then plunged into cold syrup. If they are well made the absorb the syrup (flavoured with lemon and ginger) staying crisp on the outside and becoming juicy on the inside. Refresh to see them : )

11:13 am

Eva

fried dough usually drizzled with honey syrup and powdered sugar

11:13 am

Judi

Just realized today's puzzle is 306 words. Arrrg. We're going to need all of this sugar to get us through.

11:13 am

Atalante

yum yum yum! now I want some of those as well *sigh*

11:13 am

hurshy

i feel pathetic that i can't get that one piddly N in the top left... but don't tell me yet...

11:14 am

Atalante

I could eat koeksisters all day. And then be very very sick

11:14 am

lola100

hurshy, that top N is a south african antelope....good luck! : D

11:15 am

hurshy

south african antelope! argh.

11:15 am

Eva

wow, those are gorgeous! Sort of like crullers. Haven't had one of those in about 40 years. Then, on a much crasser leve, there are the good old Hostess chocolate covered doughnuts.

11:15 am

movieman

Just refreshed my icon.......

Now, how could anyone say "no" to a banana split....?

*sings*

Tra-la-la , tra-la-la-la,
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la-la........

11:17 am

Eva

Thankfully I need to go now - take a shower and go do some painting.On the run from The Sugar That Ate Vermont.

11:17 am

hurshy

what do you know, wikipedia was right for once. ok, that's one more grey box.

11:18 am

lola100

Hi movieman! : )

11:18 am

Atalante

I'll be back in a short while - dawg walking time - yay for the beach!

11:18 am

movieman

Hursh - I just used Wikipedia for that South African antelope as well........

11:18 am

hurshy

ok, i'm going to start a-begging. i have an x 5, some help with the other?

11:19 am

movieman

Greetings, Lola......

How goes it.........?

11:19 am

lola100

atalante, hope it's warmer where you are! : /

11:20 am

movieman

Hursh - here's a clue: Any of three flammable isomeric hydrocarbons, C6H4(CH3)2, obtained from wood and coal tar.

11:20 am

lola100

Not too bad movieman, and with you?

11:20 am

hurshy

:O

11:21 am

movieman

Prettyy good, Lola........

Am down to 113 words now.......

11:21 am

hurshy

i think that's the one i have, movieman

11:22 am

movieman

No, Hursh, my def. was for the xy6/39.....

11:23 am

hurshy

hmm, then google is steering me wrong

11:23 am

movieman

I had that problem too, Hursh......

11:23 am

hurshy

ok, got it. now, about the Y. i have a 4. what's the other?

11:24 am

movieman

Hursh - which y4 do you have......

11:25 am

movieman

The other y is a 4 as well........

11:25 am

hurshy

rhymes with a guy with no hair - but if the other is also a 4, i'll just keep monkeying

11:25 am

LEMONed

one y4 is a currency, the other...I do not know, but like having no hair, change the first letter :)

11:25 am

hurshy

there's another grey box!

11:26 am

Jera

I need a warm-up break...
121 to go... I'll be back to tackle the ta's after some hot chocolate!

11:27 am

movieman

Included the ones with no words coming from them, I have 8 boxed greyed out.........

11:27 am

hurshy

ok, i just need ONE more little N, coming off the left box, middle row. i have 2 6's and 2 7's... any wild guesses as to what i would overlook, or should i give a more complete list of what i have?

11:28 am

hurshy

same here, movieman

11:30 am

movieman

Hursh - I have two 6's & two 7's coming from that n as well, and also a 4.......

11:30 am

Tigereye

I'm not sure how it allocates words to letters. If you have the hospital related N6/7 combo do you have the first four letters as a seperate word?

11:30 am

hurshy

movieman - a geek

11:31 am

hurshy

yes, tigereye

11:31 am

movieman

Hursh- make that two 4's coming from that n......

11:31 am

LEMONed

Aa, I must go...thank you for your help with my so-called 'riddle' :/

11:31 am

hurshy

and the allocation system is thus: it goes through each row and the first instance of a letter that a word can be formed on is the one it counts towards.

11:32 am

movieman

Hursh - just got that one........

11:32 am

hurshy

so we both have 6 of those 7....

11:32 am

chic

Hi Lemon, bye Lemon...

11:33 am

chic

Hi Hurshy and movieman!

11:33 am

hurshy

hi chic

bye lemon

11:34 am

hurshy

did my explanation make sense, tigereye?

11:34 am

movieman

Yep, Hursh.......

But we may have different ones.......

My n's coming off the one on the middle row are:

ne4/5, ne4/5, ne6/21, ne6/21, ne7/32 & ne7/32......

11:35 am

movieman

Greetings, chic..........

11:35 am

Tigereye

Yeah it did thanks :)

11:36 am

hurshy

yeah, i think we have the same ones, chic. is one of your sixes "one who ne4's"?

11:37 am

hurshy

not chic! movieman. excusez moi, por favor.

11:37 am

hurshy

it was bc you just said hi to chic...

11:37 am

movieman

Hursh, you're forgiven!!!!

And yes it is.....

11:38 am

hurshy

yes, we have all the same ones. last one must be a weirdo.

11:39 am

Peachykeen

LEMONed is strangely familiar

11:40 am

Tigereye

I've just got it. Its and Na5/12

11:40 am

hurshy

whaddya mean, peachykeen? (tee hee)

11:41 am

hurshy

thanks tigereye! why would one try that after it wouldn't take it without the last letter? but yay!

11:42 am

hurshy

ok, who wants to work on i's with me?

11:42 am

Peachykeen

I think you know what I mean hurshy, how long before Miyavi fan turns up?

11:42 am

movieman

Thanx, tigereye.......

I just got it too, but I had to monkeytype for it.....

11:42 am

Tigereye

I tried it with an s at the end a few times before i got ther i think.. silly word

11:42 am

hurshy

well they have become good friends already :)

11:43 am

movieman

Ooh, I do, Hursh....

I'm only missing two of them........

11:43 am

Peachykeen

Oh i don't doubt it! ; )

11:47 am

Tigereye

Clairemcg Ne are the first two letters, the first number is how many letters in teh word and the second number the points value of that word

11:47 am

hurshy

figured that, tiger. that just leaves one.

11:48 am

hurshy

oops on using a word before. movieman - il 4/6

11:48 am

clairemcg

oh that makes sense.. ta! :)

11:49 am

hurshy

lola100

LOL!!! : D

12:01 pm

hurshy

tiger, i have not younger

12:02 pm

faeriekae

sorry, maybe that was too much of a clue...won't do that again. Might get my hand smacked.

12:02 pm

hurshy

good grief - are we going to have to call in someone to treat multiple personality disorder here?

12:02 pm

Tigereye

There's an antelope 5/12 too

12:02 pm

hurshy

not more antelopes!

12:02 pm

lola100

faerie, thanks for the sprinkle dust earlier : )

12:03 pm

faeriekae

your welcome Lola:)

12:03 pm

sherb

Conspiracy/Peachy - interesting theory, but Miyavi's English teacher also plays Babble - under the name of Rolin - or maybe she's also another alias? In any case, I think Miyavi has better things to do these days than pretend to be a Japanese boy...

I am, however, fascinated by how good LEMONed's English is.

12:04 pm

lola100

I'm about to have a bath though...will it wash off?? Can I have more when I get back if it does?? : )

12:05 pm

faeriekae

Lola-I'll give you another sprinkle when you get back lol but it should last. *~*~*~*~*

12:05 pm

hurshy

whew, done with E's

12:05 pm

macuser

hurshy, did you find all your e's?

12:05 pm

hurshy

crossing transmissions... :)

12:05 pm

macuser

nevermind, lol

12:06 pm

lola100

Thanks faerie! I'll be back later...bye! : )

12:06 pm

hurshy

ok, someone else pick the next letter to work on

12:06 pm

Jera

Both Miya & Lemon are very impressive young people... I don't know of any English-speaking-born teens who can speak a second language so well...

12:06 pm

movieman

Hursh - howsabout the u.......?

12:07 pm

hurshy

ok, i only have 4

12:07 pm

faeriekae

bye Lola

12:07 pm

macuser

Heck, I don't know many Americans who speak English so well ;)

12:07 pm

hurshy

a 5, and two 8's and a 9 built off it

12:07 pm

Tigereye

I have 5 u's

12:07 pm

resipsa

I agree with Peachy. One day Miyavi messed up and typed a message as herself using LemonEd's screen name. Had some convenient excuse about how he was having problems with chat log and she signed in as him to fix it for him. But that sealed the deal for me. Just too many similarities.

12:07 pm

hurshy

ooh, just found another 8 and 9

12:08 pm

ConspiracyTheory

sherb, Jera, mark my words. All will be revealed I'm sure.

12:08 pm

Tigereye

I have a 5, two 8's, a 9 and the 10

12:08 pm

movieman

I have 5 u's.......

un5/14, un8/50, un10/84, un9/66 & un8/60.......

12:09 pm

Tigereye

hurshy

un 5 14
un 8 50
un 9 66
un 8 60
un 8 50
un 9 66

12:09 pm

movieman

Hursh - so you have 6 u's now........

12:09 pm

Jera

I have all the U's does someone need help?

I am working backwards today...

12:09 pm

hurshy

ok, got the 10 (duh)

12:10 pm

ConspiracyTheory

Hey resipsa, I'm not the only conspiracy theorist, I noticed that too, however, each to their own. Doesn't cause anyone any harm and it's amusing. Take note hurshy-san, waria!

12:10 pm

sherb

Peachy - even if you're right, it would be a harmless deception... and who's to say any of us is who we claim to be? :D

12:10 pm

hurshy

well, i'd rather trust people.

jera - see my list? but i have the 10 now too. what am i missing?

12:10 pm

Tigereye

I just got the other 8/9 combo

12:11 pm

movieman

Hursh - what are your other un 8 & 9........

12:11 pm

hurshy

also - jera - i keep getting to the 22000's on eight1 and then running out of time - only a few thousand more and i could make top 20, but i can't seem to get there!!!!!

12:12 pm

Jera

You are missing the un4/6... lose a vowel

12:12 pm

Angelsong

I have 8 un'a, not six

12:12 pm

hurshy

think of renting an apartment that you rent yourself to someone else, and change sub to a synonym prefix...

12:13 pm

Jera

I don't want to talk with you about eight1... my best score is 10 thou- something...

12:13 pm

hurshy

jera - thanks. but i'm missing one other.

12:13 pm

Angelsong

correction: I have 8 un's not una's

12:13 pm

hurshy

*blush* oh, sorry jera

12:14 pm

Jera

There are 9 U's

un 4/ 6
un 5/ 14
un 5/ 14
un 8/ 50
un 10/ 84
un 9/ 66
un 8/ 60
un 8/ 50
un 9/ 66

12:14 pm

hurshy

12:14 pm

hurshy

movieman - have you got them all now too?

12:15 pm

movieman

12:15 pm

hurshy

12:15 pm

hurshy

12:17 pm

movieman

We could use the list, Hursh......

The remaining tiles HAVE got a heck of a lot of words coming from them........

12:17 pm

hurshy

i have 40 of the 46 S's

12:17 pm

movieman

Hursh - I have 32 s's.......

12:18 pm

12:19 pm

Cathy

12:25 pm

FMitch

ad6/27 = ad+vowel+1st 3 letters of what they used to call stockings and then pl for 7.

12:26 pm

Cathy

ad's = a + sounds like a state of "say it ain't so" (and it's plural) :)

12:27 pm

hurshy

12:28 pm

faeriekae

Cath-ty

12:32 pm

faeriekae

FMitch

hurshy - we will have to send the fish over to you before too long LOL. Oh and you missed tights off the list too.

hurshy -- ty -- I just couldn't find that -- guess I didn't have enough coffee at the time!!

1:27 pm

pbr

al6/18 plural of the one above it.

1:28 pm

hurshy

the second de7 is a pl, and the first de7 appears to sound exactly like the de7 of which the second de7 is a plural

1:28 pm

Tigereye

Last Al6/18 take the Al 5 before it and add an l between the double vowel

1:29 pm

Cathy

Ok, lunch is long overdue, so I'm off. hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend !!!

1:29 pm

hurshy

ok, the third time it says de7 in my clue it is supposed to say de6

1:29 pm

6:13 pm

Oh, I see -- have them in the wrong spot -- it is the 5/10, 6/18 al's following 'to postpone suspicion' that I am missing.

going to have to give up - it's been a long day - 3 littlies overnight & frantic cleaning before brother & sister in law came to lunch. !/2 an hour before they arrived, Kira jammed Alishas fingers in the door. It was almost completely shut too! Ugh! Poor littlie was hysterical. been shattered ever since!

6:35 pm

6:38 pm

faeriekae

SMithie-that will only make you cry.....

6:39 pm

snowyowl

I know know what the term hopping with pain means! I cooled them as quickly as she would let me. Her mum may take her to the dr tomorrow as they are now swollen as well as bruised. Poor Kira who is only 3 was too shocked to cry. We had a really awful 10 mins while they both cries. Lots of band aid cheered them up a bit tho'

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

faeriekae

Yvo-did you get your word?

6:42 pm

smithchick

My eight yr. old shut four of her fingers in the car door and then stood there and wailed with them in there instead of opening the door because she was hurting so bad that it didn't occur to her to open it. I was half-way into the house when she did it.

6:42 pm

smithchick

Bye, pbr!

6:46 pm

faeriekae

Hi Haz :)

6:47 pm

Jacula

Haz - Did you notice my icon is our Bailey's cheesecake?:-)

6:48 pm

Haz1558

Hello all - was just taking a phone call - yet another sheep lambing! The cheesecake looks great!

6:51 pm

Jacula

Any twin lambs yet, Haz? Oh, the 'joys' of turning them or pulling the 'stuck' on out by tying some baler twine around its legs.

6:52 pm

faeriekae

brb
phone

6:53 pm

Haz1558

There are always plenty of twin lambs around here. The lambing season is quite long - some pedigree herds start lambing just around Christmas and the hill sheep won't be finished until April/May.

6:54 pm

Jacula

Haz - Quite a few broken nights for you yet, then. The ewes always seem to pick the wee small hours/the coldest, wettest times and the most awkward places (unless you have them in a 'maternity' unit).

6:56 pm

Haz1558

Spring time is not my favourite time of the year because of the interrupted sleep. Before we were married I used to imagine that I might get up and keep my husband company during the night calls. It has NEVER happened!

6:57 pm

Jacula

Haz - You probably watched 'It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet' and romanticised it! LOL.

6:58 pm

Haz1558

I know! A warm bed is much more inviting than a smelly byre...

6:59 pm

Jacula

Yes, Haz... or an enclosure of bales in an open field! Hubby will need lots of flasks of hot coffee with perhaps just a dash of 'something strong and warming'.

7:01 pm

Haz1558

He generally just gets back into bed freezing cold!

7:02 pm

Jacula

Haz - That must be a nasty shock for YOUR system! LOL.

7:03 pm

Jacula

Haz - Remind him that part of your wedding vows was NOT, 'And my bodily heat I thee endow'. (Was it??)

7:03 pm

smithchick

My hubby is like a furnace no matter where he's been or what he's been doing. It's great fun to snuggle up to him when I'm freezing at night!

7:04 pm

Haz1558

No - not the version I remember!

7:05 pm

Jacula

Smithchick - It's in the 'rulebook' that men's bum's are for warming our feet on but not the other way around! That's what I tell Paul, anyway.;-)

7:08 pm

Jacula

Has anyone got a clue for the last al5/10? The one between putting fears to rest and the pair of genes? I'm blowed if I can work out what it is.

7:08 pm

smithchick

I remember reading that rule!

7:09 pm

smithchick

The only bad thing is that he's always too hot! So my snuggling opportunities are shortlived.

7:10 pm

AnMogi

al 5/10 a double consonant, double vowel

7:10 pm

Haz1558

If you know French, it's the way a woman would say 'I went' je suis al****

7:11 pm

Jacula

Smithchick - What's the betting that it'll work the other way around when you're older and getting hot flushes (or 'flashes' as I believe they are termed in The States) - he'll be cold and want to cuddle up to you?!

7:12 pm

smithchick

Nope, I don't think it will. Although sometimes when he has a fever he's cold.

7:12 pm

Jacula

Thanks AnMogi & Haz. Your combined clues got that al5/10 for me!

7:12 pm

smithchick

Me too, thanks!

7:14 pm

Haz1558

Good - can you believe all these a's and l's?

7:15 pm

Jacula

Just found se7/48 (the stuff that makes you hear the theme from 'Jaws' when it wraps around your ankles when you're swimming off shore). Can't believe I didn't spot it before.

7:16 pm

smithchick

Thanks, jacula! Now I found it too!

7:17 pm

Jacula

Haz - Yes, today's a's and l's have presented quite a challenge. My monkey has been typing full-time and is demanding a pay rise.

7:18 pm

Jacula

Smithchick. Glad it's not just me who hears that theme tune in the briny!LOL.

7:18 pm

Haz1558

I'm getting frustrated at how long it's taking for each word to be accepted. Is anyone else having the same problem?

7:19 pm

Jacula

Haz - No probs at the moment. Try clearing your browser.

7:19 pm

Haz1558

6 r words to find and I'll be done. Send out a search party if you don't hear from me for a while....

7:20 pm

smithchick

LOL, haz...

7:20 pm

Haz1558

Is clearing your browser the same as clearing your throat?

7:22 pm

Jacula

Haz - Sort of. If you're in Firefox go into 'Tools', then 'Options' and then press 'Clear All', then 'OK'. You'll probably have to sign back in but your pc should work faster.

7:24 pm

Jacula

If you're in IE (Internet Explorer) Go to 'Tools', 'Internet Options'', 'Delete Cookies', then 'Delete Files', then 'Clear History', then 'OK'. DO NOT click on 'Delete Settings'!

7:25 pm

Haz1558

I'm so close to finishing, I'll put up with the slowness.

7:26 pm

AnMogi

en 5/12?? help pls, and thanks

7:31 pm

Haz1558

en 5/12 - one who finishes.

7:31 pm

Jacula

en5/12 - what finishes something. Think of a UK soap that Dirty Den was in - Easten***s.

7:32 pm

Haz1558

The r's have all been retrieved, the a's have been allotted to their places, and the l's have been located. I've finished!

7:32 pm

99 still to go, but that is impossible, I'm out of here.
Hope you finish Haz, but it's getting late and past your bedtime.

7:35 pm

Jacula

2nd ta6/18 anyone? After the one with 'more height'.

7:35 pm

Haz1558

Height, plus form of 'to be'. Rhymes with woman's clothing chain.

7:36 pm

smithchick

Yay, haz!!! Hello and goodnight, ExWren!

7:37 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Haz. Could have sworn I'd already tried that.

7:42 pm

Well that grid was a brain taxer and no mistake! Good fun though.:-)

7:47 pm

Too funny, Jacula!

ny word - Any of several African antelopes of the genus Tragelaphus, having vertical stripes on the sides of the body, including especially T. angasi of southeast Africa, the male of which has spiral horns and long black hair along the neck and the underside.

8:24 pm

Hello Helen.

Hi, Helen... 15 to go here. a's and l's.

9:15 pm

9:15 pm

Jacula

I was done a while ago, Helen. Just here to clue and chat now, when I'm not elsewhere gaming.

9:18 pm

smithchick

Jacula could you give me a clue for the ad6/7 combo?

9:20 pm

helenkeller

i hear that smith, i'm having trouble with a couple of a's too & now gotta find the others

9:22 pm

Jacula

ad6 & plural 7 -
The univalent radical C5H4N5 in adenine.

Yemini port + a word, using the sometimes vowel in the middle tht sounds like 'nothing'.

9:23 pm

smithchick

Wow, I actually got that! Sheesh...Really great clue!

9:24 pm

Jacula

Thank gawd for that! I thought it might be a bit obscure.

9:25 pm

doxy1lover

thanks jacula. These stupid chemistry words :/

9:25 pm

smithchick

It was. What's scary is that my mind appears to be on the same obscure path as yours! LOL

9:29 pm

Jacula

Smithchick - Not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. LOL.

9:29 pm

smithchick

A compliment to be sure:)

9:30 pm

smithchick

I have the utmost respect for the obscurity of your brain!

9:31 pm

9:35 pm

Good morning all. A hint for the il6/18 - please :)

9:36 pm

Hey Dianne and mrpresident!!

Hi smithchick.

9:38 pm

Jacula

I've been in and out of here for most of the day and I have to say that il6/18 has been the most asked-for clue.

9:39 pm

smithchick

Just monkey-typed the al6/24 and al7/36 combo and all I can say is...No Way.

9:39 pm

Jacula

Excuse my apparent vagueness - I am also on another site, answering a challenge from another gamer to build a tower against a horde of Vikings. LOL.

9:40 pm

mrpresident

I am terribly frustrated with this puzzle!!
It is taking almost 45seconds for a word to be accepted onto the list!! Very, very slow!!!

9:41 pm

smithchick

A horde of Vikings might be a good thing...(wink, wink)

9:42 pm

Jacula

MRPres. Hi again. I'm having no probs right now. Could be because everyone's asleep in UK and Europe or could be because my browsers are clear. Go back a page or two to see my browser clearing instructions for Hazel.

9:43 pm

Jacula

SmithChick - not unless you fancy being raped and pillaged! Mind you, when I went to Iceland for the day for my 40th birthday with my 2 kids, I did bring back a bronze bust of a Viking that looked just like their Dad, my ex-hubby.

9:45 pm

Jacula

Things are very expensive in Iceland. I gave the ex the bronze bust. Kinda wish I kept it myself! LOL.

9:45 pm

smithchick

Oh, well. Never mind then. Guess I'd better stick to Norse gods or something.

9:45 pm

smithchick

Too funny! Was he an ex at the time? If so, you are far more generous than me.

9:46 pm

smithchick

I'm down to the last la7 word.

9:48 pm

smithchick

And it's yucky and I hate it!!!

9:48 pm

Jacula

Yes, he was an ex at the time. He also paid for the trip for the 3 of us. He's not a bad man, just a daft one.

la7/36 - what you do when you wash and iron things.

9:49 pm

doxy1lover

congrats smithchick!!!

9:49 pm

Dianne

smithchick - I guess that means you got the last la7.

9:50 pm

smithchick

LOL...It was yucky and I hated it before I found it and then after I found it my feelings were just reinforced! Thanks, Jacula!!

9:50 pm

Jacula

*~*~*~*FIREWORKS FOR SMITHCHICK*~*~*~

Don't mind bunging things in the washing machine but I hate ironing things!

9:50 pm

Funkylady

Hi, I just have one word left to find and I cannot spot it. It is one of the ta6/18. I have the one that is opposite
of shorter. Thanks anyone for the help.

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

it just seems to be neverending (sigh)

9:52 pm

helenkeller

ugh, 5 more, these last few are worse than tooth-pulling

9:52 pm

smithchick

I actually hadn't owned an ironing board for over a year until I finally broke down and bought one yesterday! My son jumped on the old one and broke it while we were moving about 19 mos. ago. It was a perfect excuse not to iron. My mother-in-law was apalled.

9:52 pm

Jacula

ta6/18 - A shawl with ritually knotted fringe at each of four corners traditionally worn by Jewish males, especially at morning prayer. Also called prayer shawl.

I had to ask for this one, too, even though I could have sworn I'd typed it in some time before.

9:53 pm

doxy1lover

I think the only reason I own an iron and ironing board is because of my sewing.

9:53 pm

smithchick

ta6/18...same first four as the first ta6/18 + form of being...

9:54 pm

Funkylady

Thanks so much!!

9:54 pm

helenkeller

ok, i'm gonna cave, can someone please help me with the last 2 al's - al5/14 & al/24

9:54 pm

Jacula

Helen - you wouldn't say that about tooth-pulling if you'd had a mad dentist virtually kneeling on your chest to pull out a pre-molar that you couldn't afford to have a root canal done on and breaking your jaw in his efforts! Yes, it happened to me!

9:55 pm

smithchick

Unfortunately, I don't know how to sew. That's one of those things that I want to learn to do when I grow up... that and speak Spanish, play the piano and decorate cakes beautifully. Just not sure when I'm going to grow up!

9:55 pm

smithchick

YOUCH!!! Dang, Jacula!

9:56 pm

helenkeller

jacula, picking my jaw up off the floor now - that's horrible - i hope you are wealthier now (after the lawsuit!)

9:56 pm

smithchick

al5/14... To set one's fears to rest, for instance
al + what a hen does to produce eggs...

9:57 pm

doxy1lover

I'm speechless jacula.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Doxy - aside from sewing straight, the ironing board, for sharp pressed creases is the seamstresses' friend. An old flat iron still presses creases better though.

9:57 pm

helenkeller

no smith - got that one, i need the last one

9:57 pm

mrpresident

I think I might throw up!! YUCK Jac!! (you poor thing you!)

9:58 pm

doxy1lover

clue for last en5, pls.

9:58 pm

smithchick

The other al5/14 is al4/6 + consonant that is already in the word and the plural...

9:59 pm

smithchick

If it was your last word, doxy it would be the en***. Finisher!

9:59 pm

Wish I'd taken a pic of my other half when he came home one night late last week, all grumped up and unshaven. Would have been a good icon!

10:09 pm

smithchick

Are you sure that isn't a Viking running around marauding?

10:11 pm

Jacula

Nah! It's a caveman running off with a defenceless woman over his shoulder.

Speaking of cavemen, has anyone seen the film 'Quest for Fire'? There are no words, as such in it, but none are needed.

10:11 pm

doxy1lover

I've seen that one.

10:11 pm

helenkeller

finally all 306 - i must say i really enjoyed this one, up until the last 15 or so - than is was almost as bad as 'normal' teethpulling

10:30 pm

kristinc

Yes..Jacula, finally a movie you mention that I've seen! :)

10:32 pm

Jacula

Speaking of films of the minimal kind, did any9one see Emma Thompson's 'Wit'? It's most soliloquy and she plays the part of a professor of metaphysical poetry, specilalising in John Donne, who is dying of inoperable ovarian cancer. It sounds grim, and it was. But it was also a great part for her to play and it made me cry. I watched it on TV on Friday night.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Sorry for all the spelling mistakes, I'm v. tired.

10:33 pm

AnMogi

Emma Thompson is a marvelous actress, but haven't seen Wit

10:34 pm

Jacula

AntMogi - I'd recommend you to watch it. If ever a film was a showcase for an actresses' talents, then this one is.

10:35 pm

yahoo Doxy! Well done!

10:36 pm

It was also very true to life re the laughter and tears that crop up in these awful life scenarios.

10:36 pm

smithchick

Well, I hate to be a party pooper, but hubby is gone for his next stint at work and that means I can't laze in the bed in the morning while he gets the kids ready and takes them to school. Darn that gainful employment, anyway. Goodnight and good luck...(aren't I topical?)

10:36 pm

Thanks Jacula, I'll see if I can find it

there are 3 re7/28s in a row, and I have the one that is the 'most' ending to the re4/4. Could I have clues for the other two? Thanks!

10:44 pm

ch1212, they all build off of the re4 before them. Use the 3rd vowel in the middle.

dalmatian5

Can anyone please help me with clues for the last RE 6/18 and the following RE 5/10. The last two words I need.

11:37 pm

dalmatian5

I actually need the RE 5/10 above the RE 6/18 and not the last one. Had them in the wrong order.

11:38 pm

Jacula

last re6/18 - to give in to. Or what a library book might have benn if you borrowed it again.
re5 following - what you do if you are a property holder/landlord and you rent your property out again.

11:40 pm

dalmatian5

Jacula - the RE 6/18 clue - is there a plural also? I have a word that fits your clue but it is the next to the last one.

11:41 pm

dalmatian5

Thanks so much for your help! I am done and never thought I would make the deadline. See you all at the flip.

11:42 pm

Jacula

re7/28 is plural of the 'give in' re6/18.

11:43 pm

Jacula

Well done, Dalmatian.

12:00 am
