Lickeety, your stats page is wonderful....but you had an extra word listed yesterday.

2:15 am

sprite

It's just a flue, so nothing serious. I'll be better real soon. I don't have time to be ill!

2:15 am

renfield

good to see you lickety!

2:17 am

renfield

sprite - that flu bug virus thingie is circling the globe! get well soon!

2:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Angel - thanks for telling me - You know I noticed, and thought I had fixed it, but I must not have pusblished the update.

2:17 am

sprite

Small bugs like that show that your page is still alive, lickety ;)

2:18 am

Ornith

hi all!

2:18 am

licketySplitAUS

I spent another hour on my stats page today to try and make it easier for me. It's hard to pretend to be working when I do it ;-)

2:18 am

licketySplitAUS

naughty I am ;-)

2:19 am

sprite

I think that is one of your better qualities ;)

2:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Sprite - how come you know me so well ?

2:20 am

Ornith

eek, this one is a lot harder than last nights!

2:20 am

Ornith

er, night's.

2:20 am

sprite

Hehe, I don't, it's just that obvious :D

2:22 am

Angelsong

kindred spirits, Lickety :)

2:22 am

licketySplitAUS

heheh. Hey - I had to remove another extra word today. SO EVERYONE HERE IS A CLUE : megs is NOT a word!

2:27 am

Ornith

so many A words, and yet "augh" isn't one despite being my first thought...

2:28 am

sprite

Lots of frustrations in this grid, Ornith!

2:28 am

Ornith

oh wait, that was yesterday's list. refresh... nope, still a zillion!

2:28 am

Ornith

I don't think I should have started it, hehe

2:28 am

KittyVane

"argh" isn't a word either, no matter how many times I try to enter it

2:29 am

sprite

enable seems to think that should be written 'aargh' or 'aarrgh' or something like that.

2:30 am

Ornith

hmm. aurem either. it always wants to take the latin I don't know...

2:33 am

sprite

Does anyone know what the other 8 starts with? I have the GL.

Good morning all. Just getting started - should I be afraid?

2:34 am

sprite

Haz: you never. You will beat this thing in no time.

2:34 am

FMitch

Dont start Haz!! Morning

2:34 am

Ornith

everyone else, on the other hand

2:35 am

Haz1558

Too late! Is it that bad, FFMitch?

2:35 am

Ornith

I went for the list at around 30 words :P Admittedly, I'm relatively new, but I'm improving...

2:35 am

KittyVane

It's not a nice grid today, lots of words that should be there aren't

2:35 am

sprite

I am not even at 100 words yet.

2:36 am

FMitch

LOL I dont know yet but I think it is going to be intersting.

2:36 am

KittyVane

I've only found 43...

2:36 am

Ornith

when did you start, sprite?

2:36 am

Haz1558

I am already in the mi4/5 so I shall just have to wade through.

2:36 am

Ornith

2:36 am

2:37 am

FMitch

Feels more like m5/12 actauHAve found a golf club too

2:38 am

sprite

I knew this would be a louse grid as soon as I saw I couldn't get orgasm.

2:38 am

Haz1558

The only reason I know anything about golf clubs is that P G Wodehouse wrote so beautifully about the game!

2:38 am

Ornith

lol sprite

2:38 am

Ornith

I don't see any of the golf clubs I know, must be something obscure

2:39 am

Haz1558

ma6/24 - extend the potato ma4/6

2:40 am

ma6 isn't the problem. Ma8 is!

2:40 am

mrpresident

that is such a pretty flower!

2:41 am

Ornith

hiya mrp, what's a pretty flower?

2:41 am

sprite

Ahhhhh thanks! Don't we have one using that as nick here?

2:46 am

sprite

Yeah Annie! And now further towards the 8 ;)
I wonder how long we will have to do this...

2:46 am

Haz1558

Do that - we all love to see each other's pets.

2:47 am

mrpresident

oh, pets are wonderful! we need another pet day!

2:47 am

Ornith

I just have a kitty, who just demanded to be picked up

2:47 am

bgood2animals

that's for certain, Mr. President

2:47 am

Anniebrook

sorry about that, its 3:45 am here. hope that is a good excuse. couldnt sleep so i decided to babble for a while. better get back in bed before.......

2:48 am

sprite

Annie, you don't need an excuse. Since the site is changed we all keep doing it, which shows it is a fault in the design and not in us ;)

2:49 am

Anniebrook

thanks sprite, and get well soon.

2:49 am

Anniebrook

good night everyone. see you all later

2:49 am

2:53 am

Ornith

nice clue, thanks!

2:53 am

mrpresident

gr6 is very cute!! double worms, no bees!

2:55 am

Ornith

double worms no bees?? huh?

2:57 am

mrpresident

gr6 two worm larva, no B's !! Oh I do try!!

2:58 am

Haz1558

Unusually for me (allergic to needles and threads) I've found a sewing/dressmaking term - sh5/12

2:58 am

Ornith

more words I just don't know, heh

3:02 am

mrpresident

gr6 double your worms without the b's ?? No takers?? cause I give up on that clue!

3:02 am

sprite

I am a taker. Nice clue!

3:02 am

Ornith

I got it with onelook, heh

3:02 am

White flag of surrender here.

waving flag over here too :(

Def is tropical American feather palm having a swollen spiny trunk and edible nuts. Sounds like babytalk.

3:03 am

fa5 ?

3:04 am

sprite

Angel: someone doing Fa4/7?

3:05 am

FMitch

HAve just found the g8 tho.

3:06 am

Angelsong

sorry...need the fa5/24. have the other fa5.

3:06 am

Ornith

it helped me, sprite

3:07 am

sprite

The other Fa4 is F + (nothing minus n minus t)

3:08 am

Ornith

and an appropriate sentiment for this puzzle, too

3:08 am

sprite

I agree!

And fireworks for me :) Any clues needed before I go back to bed?

3:17 am

mrpresident

I got

Ornith

wow, grats, sprite and mrp! too many to ask for here, though; I'm only up to 74 words.

3:18 am

sprite

*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~* for mrP too

3:18 am

mrpresident

Go spirte!! congrats!

3:18 am

Congratulations sprite and mrpresident. Fireworks seem a long way off.....

3:18 am

FMitch

Contrats both of you!!!!!
You're doing well Ornith Im on 63.

3:19 am

Ornith

I went to the list ages ago, though :P

3:19 am

Ornith

I think I'm just trying for 100 tonight, heh. hard one. plus I finally gave in and put on my A/C, so it's comfortable enough to sleep now.

3:23 am

sprite

In that case: happy hunting to all of you and have a great day/night /whatever applies ;)

3:23 am

Ornith

seeya sprite

3:23 am

FMitch

Hope you feel better soon sprite :)

3:24 am

mrpresident

bye sprite, kick that bug where it hurts!

3:24 am

Haz1558

The grid seems helpfully willing to accept ladies names as being valid. I've found ma4/7, mo5/12 and I suppose, at a pinch, ma8 could be used. Goodnight/morning sprite, get better soon.

3:25 am

FMitch

ma5/16 from the simpsons it in the grid too.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Excellent - I hoped that would get a few more hints for me.

3:26 am

Ornith

I don't think I know that mo name... is it a nickname or a full one?

3:26 am

Ornith

oh nm, I've just only ever seen it ending in a before

3:27 am

Haz1558

It's a full name - Scottish in origin but borne by newsreader Miss Stuart. The one ending in e is a type of silk

3:27 am

Atalante

morag's not allowed though :( and hi all :)

3:27 am

Ornith

oh, so a different one. yeah, I know what the e-ending one is, it actually refers to the pattern more than the material itself

3:27 am

Ornith

hi atalante

3:28 am

Haz1558

No, and Marie won't do either. Good morning Atalante!

3:28 am

Ornith

Yeah, I tried Marie, heh

3:29 am

Ornith

guess I don't know the scottish one then, heh

3:29 am

Ornith

but I bet she dances ji4/11

3:30 am

Atalante

lol probably!

3:31 am

mrpresident

FMitch, are you here??
Hello Atalante!

3:32 am

FMitch

still here MrP mining words out of the grid or trying to anyway!

3:32 am

Ornith

yeah, I need more monkeys

3:33 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up! Actually - have been for about an hour but I've been working on it. Any suggestions while I'm here?

3:34 am

Ornith

can't refresh right now to see what you changed, lickety, lol

3:34 am

Ornith

actually, there's one; some way to save/recover your inputs would be sooooo nice.

3:34 am

mrpresident

I suggest you put a pizza in the oven and pour me a wine!!

3:35 am

Haz1558

Thanks lickety for the list. I think it'll probably save a few lives today!

3:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Ornith - How about - saving what you have done, so you can refresh without losing?

3:35 am

licketySplitAUS

On the same computer only - using cookies. Not done yet, but I'm almost there.

3:35 am

Ornith

that'd work too, I mostly mean so I can close it and come back later in the day

3:36 am

Ornith

and yeah, I figured with cookies

3:36 am

licketySplitAUS

Ornith - it'd only work on the same computer at this stage. I'll let you know at the top of the page when it's done - maybe tomorrow.

3:36 am

Ornith

*sings the C is for cookie song*

3:36 am

Ornith

awesome lickety! you rock!

3:37 am

licketySplitAUS

Love you All! and I love providing clues. I love seeing the most popular word change - aeon was at the top - now is down the list

3:38 am

rosalind230

Thanks for the list lickerty its a great help.

3:39 am

Ornith

wow, there was one with only 47? sorry I missed that one!

3:39 am

licketySplitAUS

50 grids worth of stats today too! I can back load older ones and will do whenever I get some time. Gotta get mrpresident a glass of wine. Bye for now ;-)

3:39 am

licketySplitAUS

I know - 47 is the smallest I've seen!

3:41 am

Atalante

if anyone here from the UK is interested - the govt has a website where people can help choose new (and graphic) pics to add to cigarette packets to aim to reduce smoking. its interesting - http://www.packwarnings.nhs.uk/

3:42 am

Haz1558

Are there any statistics available to show that putting graphics on the packets does reduce smoking?

3:44 am

Atalante

I'm not sure. I know the govt says it "helps", but I haven't seen any numbers. Some of the pics they are showing in that link *must* have an effect - if only to maybe stop people starting smoking. At least, I would hope so. Apparently the survey is based on one that's been used "successfully" in other countries

3:45 am

Atalante

I just think its very good that they are canvassing normal people to help decide what would be effective, if anything

3:45 am

mrpresident

Haz, can you believe the backlash from that??
This week they reported that people are now buying covers for their packets so they don't see the graphics, and even stickers!!

3:46 am

FMitch

I saw a bit on the news re that this morning Atalante, When I smoked and they put all the warnings on the packets it didn't stop me and I don't think pics would - prob cover them up. But it might put off youngsters from starting.

3:47 am

Atalante

I think part of it is expected to be an "embarrassment factor" of having packets with those pics on. But making stickers of the exact shape adn size would be a good new business for someone!

3:47 am

Angelsong

he6?

3:47 am

mrpresident

The smokers are requesting the packs with the least graphic stuff on them and the kids just don't seem to care! I smoked (until my illness prevented me) and I honestly don't think the graphics would have stopped me either way... it is really a personal decision

3:48 am

ruthy

can anyone please give me a clue for the gr 6/36

3:48 am

FMitch

Smoking is such an expensive business now, I cringe when I think how much I used to spend a day.

3:49 am

Ornith

ok! got my 100, time for some sleep

3:49 am

Ornith

dunno if I'll come back in the daytime to bang my head against this one or not!

3:49 am

Atalante

especially here. I can see why people go to the COntinent and stock up!

3:49 am

FMitch

Anyway, on that note must say bye for now as have things to to. See you later.

3:50 am

Atalante

byee!

3:50 am

Angelsong

gr6/36: you might say the Jolly Green Giant did this to get so big....it's a three letter syllable, twice repeated...

3:50 am

mrpresident

bye Fmitch! good day!

3:50 am

Haz1558

Sorry - I've been away voting on the website!

3:51 am

Angelsong

any clues for he6?

3:52 am

Atalante

lol just got an as6 very applicable to smoking

3:53 am

Haz1558

Atalante - I've looked at the website and voted. Never having smoked I find it hard to understand why anyone would start. If some of those pictures could be of influence, then use them, but people do have selective vision!

3:54 am

Atalante

I've never smoked either ... I really find the concept quite ick! But I do think some of those pics would make me think again if they were on the first pack of cigs I ever bought!

3:55 am

Haz1558

I think for many young people, dying is such a far-off concept that they put it out of their minds. But if their appearance was to be affected.....

3:56 am

Cat9x

And if anyone had to watch someone die from smoking, as I am right now, that would surely deter them, I would hope. I too smoke, but since watching my Mom slowly deteriorate, I have begun the process of stopping. Its a horrid disease, totally preventable.

3:56 am

mari

Angel - definitionof he6 is:- Sudanese sorghums having white seeds; one variety grown in southwestern United States

3:56 am

ruthy

sorry angel song he 6 letter under the h then a vowel constanant next to the 3rd letter of the 6 then a vowel i cant think of a clue

3:57 am

Haz1558

Cat - this must be a terrible time for you. I do sympathise and I'm sure your mum would be pleased if you could give up.

3:58 am

ruthy

gr 6/36 can anyone please give me a clue

3:58 am

Haz1558

gr6/36 - gr plus a vowel, then repeat the whole thing.

3:59 am

Eva

good morning everyone

3:59 am

Cat9x

TY Haz, it's most unbearable watching her suffer like she is, no matter how hard it is for me, it's a living nightmare for her. I'm sure she would be pleased, and I am trying very hard.

3:59 am

Angelsong

I did ffind the he6. it's odd.

3:59 am

Atalante

oh sorry Cat - I didn't want to bring up any bad things for anyone. I'm just really glad and amazed that our govt is asking normal people for their opinions on such matters

4:00 am

mrpresident

a very close friend died at the age of 33 from gangrene and aneurism, one after the other... it is such a sorry sight and not worth the gamble...

4:00 am

Haz1558

Cat - I'm just so sorry that you are going through this.

4:00 am

Cat9x

Don't be sorry Atalante, anything that can help people to stop smoking, or better yet, never start is a good thing, I applaud you for getting the word out.

4:01 am

Cat9x

oh my mrp, I am so sorry to hear that. You are right, it is not worth the gamble.

4:02 am

Atalante

*hugs cat and mrp*

4:03 am

Cat9x

TY Atalante and Haz :)

4:04 am

Atalante

my husband used to smoke and I refused to marry him until he gave up. that worked fairly quickly *grins*

4:04 am

mrpresident

My kids are being educated at school about the dangers of smoking and they tell me about their friend's parents who smoke... those kids are so little chance of change... and my kids ask me! "Why are they allowed to make something that hurts people... because it doesn't do anything else???
and I tell them, "you are our future, you need to educate your generation, cause they don't listen to us!"...

4:06 am

Cat9x

Thats wonderful mrp! Education is the best thing to stop kids from never starting. Keep the word out there, and hopefully we can save them. I too wonder why it's allowed to go on.

4:06 am

Atalante

what's good though is that I think govts / health agencies are realising more now that smoking is an addiction, and have better programmes to help people stop, rather than just expected them to do so without aid. we wouldn't expect an alcoholic to stop on their own, or a heroin user etc etc

4:07 am

Haz1558

I think the problem comes in the teenage years. Children can be easily persuaded that smoking is a bad thing, but when they see their friends starting it takes courage to be different. And you're right, it is a huge addiction, Atalante and for many will power is not enough.

4:07 am

Angelsong

li6?

4:08 am

Cat9x

Exactly Atalante! Nicotine is sooo addictive, even in my Moms state, all she talks about is smoking, wanting us to allow her to have one. Its borders on pathetic, that even in her dying state, her addiction is still ruling her.

4:08 am

Cat9x

Very true Haz! Peer pressure often overrides common sense.

4:08 am

mrpresident

I have tried to encourage my kids not to follow the 'cool crowd' of smoking... they understand the danger, but will it really stop them from 'impressing' or 'becoming part of the crowd'... that is what I remember of my experience... what do we do???

4:09 am

Eva

I began smoking when I was 17-before the surgeon generals report. I felt, like most teenagers, very uncool, and smoking made me feel a bit more acceptable. By 20 I was smoking 2 and 1/2 packs a day. At the age of 30 I stopped. It was among the hardest things I have ever done in my life. And it was hard for years, not just the few weeks they say so blithely. But in a way I'm glad it was so hard, because it made it clear to me the level of addiction, and that I could never, ever smoke again. I don't know if anything would have stopped me at the age of 17, except for a peer culture in which it wasn't considered cool.

4:09 am

Atalante

I think I was very lucky in a way when I was young - I had terribly bad bronchitis most of the time, and to smoke would have probably killed me. Good motive not to start!

4:10 am

Cat9x

I know mrp. I grew up hating my parents smoking, I detested it. I didn't start till I ran with a older, "cooler" crowd who smoked. All that I knew or thought, went out the window, I wanted to be a part of the cool crowd.

4:11 am

Haz1558

So basically we need to place all teenagers under house arrest.

4:11 am

mrpresident

so it needs to be unacceptable by any social standard (which is happening with most places being smoke free!) and also helps if health concerns are addressed early! otherwise, ground the bastards!

4:11 am

Cat9x

I too started at 17 Eva, and even now, watching my Mom, it is still so very hard to stop. But I am trying, and I WILL succeed. I pray I do.

4:12 am

Atalante

placing all teenagers under house arrest sounds like a perfect solution! LOL :)

4:12 am

ruthy

li 6 precious stone from israel

4:12 am

Cat9x

LOL Haz, seems that way at times. If they only knew, what is "cool" now, becomes a nightmare later. If they only knew.

4:13 am

mrpresident

Cat, do stop, your friends and family will love you all the more for it!

4:13 am

ruthy

li 6 think of another word for a number and change the first letter

4:14 am

Cat9x

I am trying mrp! I want to be around to see my Grandson, who is due July 30th, dance at his wedding!

4:14 am

Haz1558

Well, Cat, I do hope that you succeed in stopping and that you can influence others not to start.

4:15 am

Eva

Cat-just read back a bit. I am so sorry that you and your mom are suffering as you are. This is a beautiful and hard life, and we all struggle to go about it in the least destructive way....it's hard not to get involved with things (cigs, overeating, whatever)that offer some immediate relief. I think that for me anyway, accepting how hard it was to give the cigarettes up-not expecting it to be anything but hellish for a while, made it "easier", in that I knew what I was fighting, and could also feel appreciative of and compassionate towards myself in the struggle. If I can be of any support (26 years later and not one cigarette!) please let me know.

4:15 am

Atalante

and take all and any help you can get :) I cant imagine how difficult it must be ... but from experiences of people I know, I know you'll be glad you did it!

4:15 am

Cat9x

TY Haz, I will do whatever it takes to stop, and prevent others from starting

4:17 am

Eva

our Blackfly Festival is today, beginning at 11, and it is raining! Again! Hopefully will taper off by then. But I have to go very soon and finish the black bean chili and deviled eggs

4:17 am

Cat9x

Eva, thank you so much! True, the immediate relief, its the hardest to conquer, but I will succeed, I will do whatever it takes to succeed. Thank you for your support :) Congrats on 26 yrs! That is wonderful!!

4:18 am

mrpresident

My dad was my biggest influence in helping me... he had a heart condition and scared us to death! He stopped smoking
They dad reminded me that the kids wouls smell it on me and would associate that with me.... well! I freaked out!! Cause I remember some of the best times with my dad and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth!!
How is that for dangerous memories! I actually 'crave' those days and smile when I smell the fresh lit cigarette!! SO SAD!!
We are humans with emotions and they are connected to our senses.... Save your family from those with a healthier memory.... Please!

4:20 am

Cat9x

I have memories like you mrp! Every picture, everyones smoking. Heck, I remember TV way back when, they all smoked! Its no wonder, we grew up thinking everyone smoked.

4:20 am

mrpresident

Too true, and too nasty Cat!

4:20 am

Cat9x

very nasty!

4:21 am

Angelsong

with 25 words to find, I'm off to sleep.

4:21 am

Eva

don't be discouraged by friends who tell you it was easy for them to quit. Pretty much everyone I know who said that went back to smoking. Because they really hadn't faced the hold it had on them. So much of what we are taught in the US is that anything hard or uncomfortable is bad and undoable. I can still remember what it felt like to be out of cigarettes and craving,, and go into the store and buy a pack and light up. So hard to find other things in life that are so easily satisfied. That's why they call it an addiction(-: If it didn't feel good there wouldn't be a problem. There were many times in the first few years when I would think "well, x is going on and I just need a cig to get through it". But then I knew that if I could justify 1 I could justify 1,000.

Hiya, FMitch.......

I suppose you recognise my icon today?

7:13 am

FMitch

Hi mm, it looks like gandalf again?

7:14 am

Are we talking LOTR or outside of that?

7:15 am

movieman

Correct, Kitty, 'cos it's old Christopher's 84th birthday today!!!!!!

7:16 am

KittyVane

7:16 am

FMitch

well done Kitty!
84th wow he's wearing well.

7:16 am

movieman

I could have chosen an icon of Mr. (should be Sir) Lee as Dracula, but I thought I'd go with Saruman instead.....

7:18 am

Jera

Greetings, all! How goes the grid today?

7:19 am

KittyVane

The grid goes badly, it's a tough one today

7:19 am

movieman

Hiya, Jera.....

Not bad, still to get over 100 words yet tho'......

7:19 am

Jera

Oh dear, I wa hoping for a break since I didn't finish last night...

7:21 am

FMitch

ARB - li6 is A precious stone of ancient Israel if you are still looking for it. HAven't got the lo6 yet

7:21 am

Jera

7:23 am

Jera

I like your icon, too, Kitty... I always wanted to be Batgirl when I was a kid

7:24 am

FMitch

Hi jera

Got a bit out of touch with the themes recently. Is yrs a shark?

7:25 am

Jera

7:25 am

ARB

7:26 am

Beth

I think the theme today is Irish cooking.

7:26 am

Jera

Nope, not a shark, it's an re6/21 (plural for the 7)... couldn't find a good pic of a group of them...

7:26 am

lo 6 = hunk of wood plus comparative ending

7:32 am

KittyVane

Thankies Kateq!

7:32 am

Kateq

gr 6--two identical syllables, usually spelled with a different vowel

7:32 am

FMitch

MrP did a good clue for the gr6 - double worms and no b's. Start from the bottom g and work up

7:33 am

Charm

jera - the NO magic looks like fr. for grey - repeated twice. for the gr - change the vowel and drop the final s.

7:34 am

FMitch

Time for me to go again, happy babbling.

movieman

Got 'em......ty Jera & kate.....

Hello SarahBellum - we're a bewildered people today.

8:17 am

SarahBellum

it's a toughie, Haz. How are you?

8:17 am

Atalante

back. and the grid doesn't look any better ...

8:17 am

hydra

I've found that, even if you think you're typing in the correct box, if you do it too quickly it goes into the chat box instead. Has anyone else done that?

8:17 am

mattygroves

Me!

8:17 am

mattygroves

Me!

8:17 am

Haz1558

As I said - bewildered! I'm fine, just amazed at the words that are in this grid.

8:18 am

mattygroves

Can ANYONE help with lo6/24 and lo5/10

8:18 am

Egregious Jones

apologies if this was clued recently. I scrolled back and couldn't find it - could someone give a tip on the 2nd 'y'? I have the 4/6

8:18 am

musicmom

Uh OH! That doesn't sound good Haz. Good morning everyone!

8:18 am

hydra

Thank heavens I'm not the only idiot here!

8:19 am

Haz1558

lo6/24 - If you know the middle name of John ***** Baird, then add an r.

8:19 am

musicmom

No idiots here hydra --- this is definitely a game for the non-idiot set

8:19 am

mattygroves

Fab - got that one Haz - thanks!

8:19 am

hydra

Sorry. I didn't mean anything personal, musicmom.

8:19 am

shutterbug

Egregious Jones, sounds like the exercise, but change last letter.

8:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, matty!

8:20 am

Egregious Jones

ah, got the other 'y' *smacks forehead*

8:20 am

Atalante

I've got re7/32 - anyone know what the others are?

8:20 am

mattygroves

Now just the lo5/10, then over to the ig.

8:20 am

Egregious Jones

thanks shutterbug

8:20 am

musicmom

None taken ---- just don't want you to call yourself an idiot:-))!

8:20 am

Egregious Jones

urgbe

8:20 am

Haz1558

If it's the lo5/10 after the lo5/14 - take away the seeing body part and replace it with two sound alike vowels

8:20 am

Egregious Jones

carp. ignore me. sorry

8:21 am

mattygroves

Thanks!

8:21 am

Haz1558

Meaning that the vowels will make the lo5/10 sound like the 5/14

8:21 am

shutterbug

thanks haz

8:21 am

hydra

Have you read down the log, musicmom, and seen what I did? I typed my word in the wrong box and gave it away!

8:21 am

Beth

looee

8:21 am

Beth

whoops again!

8:22 am

Egregious Jones

it's contagious!

8:22 am

hydra

It really is, and I started it! It's a Babble virus.

8:22 am

musicmom

It's okay hydra --- we've all done it. Maybe you helped someone:-)) Last night I kept using "able" on the ends of words. I couldn't seem to stop even though it was in the grid.

8:23 am

Beth

That polished off the L words for me...

8:23 am

shutterbug

no, hydra I don think you started it, I think beth did today. But, hey, I like free words!!!!!!!

8:23 am

musicmom

I definitely wasn't doing it on purpose but wasn't impressed with my lack of self control:-)

8:23 am

hydra

Sometimes one needs to go away and do something else for 5 mins.

8:24 am

shutterbug

no, no hydra, you are fine

8:24 am

GraceM

Any help on the gu words? I can't seem to crack them.

8:24 am

Beth

Thanks, shutterbug - for a moment I thought Hydra was going to take all the blame...

8:25 am

hydra

Boo-hoo. Blub.

8:25 am

Haz1558

The gu5/18 is like an early form of trade association. gu4/7 resembles a watchman without the d at the end.

8:25 am

ARB

gu 5/18 -- Middle Ages union of craftsmen

8:26 am

hydra

Hooray. Just got the ma8/60. Which reminds me. Must clean the kitchen today.

8:26 am

lianakate

one of the gu means..uh, bat chit, I think..LOL

8:27 am

Haz1558

gu5/20 rhymes with a word which means to splash out with money

8:27 am

mattygroves

GU4/7 is a gum you find in many foods, including cheap ice cream as a thickener, I think.

8:27 am

Haz1558

gu5/16 - add two vowels separated by r. (It's the best I can do)

8:28 am

GraceM

Wow... these are hard.

8:28 am

musicmom

Haz --- that is a ridged percussion instrument scraped with a stick. It makes the sounds of a frog croaking

8:29 am

8:32 am

Boysaway

er5/16 anyone?

8:33 am

Haz1558

er5/16 places a vowel right in the middle of the er4/6 (therefore in latin)

8:33 am

shutterbug

Hmm...... i's surprised that i cant figyre it out musicmom. I know a lot about music, so I would think that I should know it.

8:34 am

musicmom

do you know that it starts with gu

8:34 am

Boysaway

Thanks Haz

8:34 am

musicmom

It is used in latin jazz quite a bit. Also - in my case -children's classes

8:34 am

shutterbug

yes.

8:34 am

shutterbug

OOPS, I said a word, kinda in my last post

8:35 am

shutterbug

it is the gu 5 , right

8:35 am

musicmom

Yes - ends in a vowel

8:35 am

Boysaway

he6?

8:36 am

shutterbug

Got it!

8:36 am

Haz1558

he6 - add Mr Glitter (ugh) but replace the sometimes vowel with a real vowel

8:36 am

shutterbug

but, i didnt recognize it.

8:36 am

musicmom

be right back cat puke clean up!

8:36 am

Boysaway

Thanks again Haz

8:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome! (I should be putting the shopping away, but want to finsh this first!)

8:37 am

shutterbug

musicmom, does your Do-Re-Me&You company have a catolog?

8:38 am

musicmom

yes shutter bug. I have one on line in my profile (the url ending in csigman).

8:38 am

hurshy

no fudgier? these brownies are fudgier than those. and what about ugli. ugli is a fruit.

8:38 am

hurshy

back to the grid now.

8:38 am

musicmom

Okay my turn to be confused - who is Mr. Glitter?

8:39 am

musicmom

Morning Hurshy --- oooo I haven't had ugli fruit in a long time

8:39 am

Atalante

hi hurshy :)

8:39 am

Haz1558

A more Americanised clue would be the birth place of Michael Jackson in Indiana.

8:39 am

Haz1558

Mr Glitter was a British singer - pretty much disgraced, hence the ugh!

8:40 am

musicmom

Thanks Haz!

8:40 am

musicmom

Got it!

8:40 am

I LOVE music.

8:41 am

Boysaway

Any clues for the au words?

8:41 am

Haz1558

Matty - add a vowel, then repeat the whole thing for the gr6/36.

8:41 am

mattygroves

GR6/36 anyone?

8:41 am

Beth

I'm American, and I got the Mr. Glitter clue -- thanks, Haz!

8:41 am

musicmom

If you have any questions you can email me. misschrista@intelliwave.com

8:42 am

au 5/16 a tool

8:42 am

Haz1558

Glad to help, Beth!

8:42 am

musicmom

however, my email is down right now so it may be a day or two before I can get back to you.

8:43 am

mattygroves

AM I just being stupid? I don't see how you can repeat the gr...?

8:43 am

musicmom

start with the one in the lower right hand corner matty

8:43 am

Boysaway

No U are not!

8:43 am

Haz1558

matty - add a vowel, and you have a three letter word. Then do the same again for a six letter word.

8:44 am

Haz1558

It kind of goes diagonally from the bottom g.

8:44 am

shutterbug

thanls haz

8:44 am

Beth

Thanks, musicmom - that did it for me, too!

8:45 am

mattygroves

Ooh - keep forgetting about the vowel in the top left. Thanks!

8:46 am

musicmom

Okay need to take a little break - run the vacuum and do some weeding be back in a couple hours.

8:46 am

shutterbug

regular should be in here.

8:47 am

Boysaway

du5/14 please?

8:47 am

Haz1558

du5/14 is the plural of the du4/6

8:48 am

Boysaway

Der!

8:48 am

shutterbug

haz, it doesnt work. it is not in there.

8:49 am

Haz1558

The first du4/6 ends in the first vowel and it can be pluralised.

8:49 am

shutterbug

unless there is another 4/6?

8:50 am

shutterbug

thanks haz

8:50 am

Haz1558

There are a further two du4/6 which cannot be pluralised in the grid

8:51 am

Beth

Yet again, some great clues, Haz!

8:52 am

8:58 am

This is a 5-letter RA word, right? And it's made by dropping a vowel in the middle of an RA 4/6, which can also be pluralized? If so, I'm not getting it.

2:17 pm

hurshy

2:23 pm

musicmom

The worst part is that I gave birth to Hannah right at the beginning of finals week. Happens every year that her birthday celebration gets pushed back until after the students are gone

2:23 pm

musicmom

It was a tough one feather

2:23 pm

Jera

I don't think it's just you, featherbee

2:23 pm

okay - going to go outside to have popsicles with Hannah. Sarah went into town to hear Greg play on an undergrad's recital today.

2:25 pm

Jera

The first one wasn't too bad considering the target audience, but this new one had going back on a deal, sneaking, stealing, tricking the mentally challenged... it was appalling...

2:25 pm

ARB

Sounds like not living in AMerica has its advantages!

2:25 pm

musicmom

I'll come back in a little while and see how everyone is doing.

2:25 pm

musicmom

2:31 pm

inge, its what pinocchio's nose did, twice

2:32 pm

broll

Jera - Had to pop in with a comment. I totally agree with your attitude! And that dishonesty and deceit is present in every media today. We are letting our children's minds be poisoned and their value systems distorted. I realized how much power the media exerts when I noticed my 2-year-old (then) son hitting and acting aggressively after only 3 or 4 days of watching cartoons. Needless to say, no more cartoons after that.

2:32 pm

3:00 pm

mo

but from corner to corner

3:00 pm

sherb

ahhh... now we know :)

3:01 pm

Babbler

ahaa! England has the St George's Cross, Scotland has the St Andrew's Cross, and N. Ireland has the St Patrick's Cross!

3:02 pm

Babbler

This flag is commonly called the 'Union Jack' and is made up of the above three flags: St. George's Cross, St. Andrew's Cross, and St. Patrick's Cross. The design was meant to reflect the 1801 Act of Union between Britain and Ireland (the Welsh flag was not incorporated into the British Union Flag). The British Union Flag is the official flag of Northern Ireland and is an integral part of the Protestant, Unionist, and Loyalist tradition.

gr 6/36: same syllable repeated, like Pnhochios nose

3:40 pm

Haz1558

gr6/36 - probably the strangest word today (and that's saying something). Add a vowel to the gr to get a three letter combination. Then repeat it to get a six letter word.

3:41 pm

mo

Norma there was a good clue earlier...pinochio's noes did this twice!!!!

3:41 pm

jeffer

EasternBlue

3:44 pm

jeffer

3:44 pm

Haz1558

Good evening amandacath.

3:45 pm

Haz1558

sa5/18 - same ending as what you do when someone tells you a joke.

3:45 pm

EasternBlue

grud = gross crud...a perfectly logical word...(so says I...)

3:45 pm

Norma

3:52 pm

EasternBlue

3:52 pm

Norma

Thanks Violinmaestra great clue ..........

3:52 pm

amandacath

'sok, Norma - woulda taken me forever to figure most of those out anyway!

3:53 pm

jeffer

could someone do it with the ma 6/30 's - or give clues?

3:54 pm

Haz1558

ma6/30 m plus that useful au5/16. Then reverse the last two letters

3:54 pm

Haz1558

If you reverse the last two letters, you get another ma6/30

3:56 pm

amandacath

This looks pretty nasty - how many words in all?

3:57 pm

KittyVane

153 alltogether

3:57 pm

Haz1558

There are 153 words - and it IS nasty.

3:57 pm

KittyVane

and yes, it is a nasty grid this one

3:57 pm

hetty

I turn now to my lifesavers, with 3 words to find--any contributions gratefully received! I need the sa5/18; and 2 sh's--both sh5/12

3:57 pm

KittyVane

I'm only half way through and I've been at this on and off most of the day

3:57 pm

jeffer

ty Haz !

3:58 pm

violinmaestra

sh 5/12- more bashful, and where the hobbits live

3:58 pm

Haz1558

sh5/12 - can be an English county, or someone who is more timid or a type of sewing.

3:59 pm

Haz1558

sa5/18 can either be with the ending of what you do when you find a joke to be funny OR sa plus what your teeth are rooted in.

3:59 pm

jeffer

li 6/27 please

4:00 pm

jeffer

?

4:00 pm

hetty

havethe English county and the type of sewing-- it's the oth two 5/12's

4:00 pm

Haz1558

li6/27 - if you think of a word beginning with f to do with numbers, replace it with the l.

4:00 pm

coli

new boy here

4:01 pm

KittyVane

Hello and welcome Coli :)

4:01 pm

Haz1558

There are 3 sh5/12 - the county one can be made into the 'timid' one.

4:01 pm

Norma

Welcome Coli enjoy your addiction lol

4:01 pm

EasternBlue

hi coli...welcome to the nut house!!

4:01 pm

jeffer

Glad to help jeffer.

4:02 pm

BGL

Hi everyone. Been having issues with my DSL today, hopefully it will let me finish!

4:03 pm

hetty

Thanks Haz. My teeth are rooted' I have 3 of the sh's --it may be I'm mssing one sh5/1 and one sh5/18

4:03 pm

harpjane

ha! I just HAD to type moogi, even thought I knew it wasn't a word. It was very satisfying to type it!

4:03 pm

Haz1558

The sh5/18 is a speciality of teenagers along with rolling of the eyes.

4:04 pm

KittyVane

Anyone have a clue for the other Y-word (I have the one that means a long time ago)?

4:04 pm

Haz1558

Kitty - think of a famous inhabitant of Jellystone Park.

4:05 pm

EasternBlue

Kitty - think of the bear that likes picnics...

4:05 pm

EasternBlue

"hey, hey Boo-boo!!"

4:06 pm

hetty

OOh lovely clue if you know teenagers. I'm a bit out of touch though.Also I've gone through my list again and I think I've miscounted ( news!) so I'm looking for an sh45 as well as this teenage thing

4:06 pm

KittyVane

Thank you EasternBlue
Piknic baskets beware! :D

4:06 pm

Haz1558

Shoulders, hetty

4:06 pm

Vicuna

Teenagers or not, the sh5 means "I dunno."

4:06 pm

shirin

can someone help me with the gu5,20 please?

4:07 pm

hetty

Yes. I ned broad ones and I now get the drift. Also another spelling of the sewing for the 4.

4:08 pm

Vicuna

I can't believe "gurglier" isn't a word! Obviously one stream can be gurglier than another!

4:08 pm

hetty

So, my one lef, thanks Haz, is the sh4/5--I tried taking a letter off my sewing word but it didn't work. . .back to the enable list

4:08 pm

KittyVane

It also won't accept "ugli", which is a fruit

4:09 pm

Haz1558

sh4/5 - take one letter off the sewing one then reverse the last two letters

4:09 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, but gurglier is a lot of letters, so I REALLY wanted it to count! ;)

4:09 pm

KittyVane

there's a strange palm tree, but no fruit

4:10 pm

hetty

Then the sh5/18 is aperfet clue for me. "I dunno nothing!" Thanks both

4:10 pm

Haz1558

Glad to help, hetty!

4:11 pm

shirin

gu5,20?

4:12 pm

hetty

II've sewn all my life but never backwards before. I also now have the last word, thanks to you, Haz.. I know you are glad to help Haz, but like many others I am soooo grateful that you are.

4:12 pm

Vicuna

gu5/20 - binge and pu---, replace with g

4:12 pm

maia1011

hallo!

4:12 pm

amandacath

just monkeyed the gu5/20: g + u4/7

4:12 pm

shirin

jigs

4:13 pm

shirin

sorry and thanks amanda

4:13 pm

Vicuna

'Cause sometimes you just gotta dance, eh shirin?

4:13 pm

Haz1558

I enjoy finding the words and then trying to figure out how to share them with others.

4:13 pm

shirin

thanks vicuna

4:13 pm

shirin

how about the gl8 and gl6?

4:13 pm

Vicuna

(I was trying to cover for you. But of course we've all done it anyway!)

4:14 pm

shirin

thanks that was a good one

4:14 pm

amandacath

Are there more than about 10 normal words in here? Other wise I might be going to the list reeeeaaaalll soon!

4:14 pm

Vicuna

gl6/33 - dark and depressing
gl8 - more so

4:15 pm

cat2

Hi. Could someone let me know how many words there are today? thx :)

4:15 pm

shirin

wow, I thought I had typed that? thank you

4:15 pm

Haz1558

amandacath - I managed to get half-way and then got the list. It is 'challenging'.

4:15 pm

shirin

153 cat

4:15 pm

cat2

thx shirin

4:15 pm

Haz1558

There are 153 words today - some more obvious than others!

4:16 pm

cat2

thx haz1558 :)

4:16 pm

KittyVane

Luckily the longest words are "normal" ones

4:16 pm

amandacath

to say the least! I'm shooting for halfway before list-time, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it.

4:17 pm

KittyVane

I've made it to 87 without the list, but it's not been easy

4:18 pm

cat2

lately I only shoot for halfway..LOL might even make it today, I have 43 so far without BrandyJack's list... sure do have a new appreciation for it!

4:18 pm

shirin

as6,21?

4:18 pm

shirin

25 more to go

4:18 pm

Vicuna

as6/21 - whiter, paler, more of what's left at the end of a fire

4:19 pm

shirin

thanks again!

4:19 pm

Vicuna

My pleasure!

4:20 pm

amandacath

aren't "huri" the muslim equivalent of angels, or the virgins in paradise or something along those lines? They are in German

4:21 pm

cat2

been doing a lot of 'monkey-typing' with todays board.

4:21 pm

Vicuna

Huri, huri, Step right up!

4:22 pm

amandacath

If this grid is going to be so nasty, couldn't it at least let us have gargoyle!?!

4:22 pm

Haz1558

It's full of promising words which don't materialise.

4:22 pm

Vicuna

It would be only fair.

4:22 pm

shirin

fi7,44?\

4:23 pm

shirin

nevermind

4:23 pm

shirin

go5,18 andgo6,24?

4:24 pm

shirin

nevermind again

4:24 pm

Haz1558

go5/18 - describes something sticky, then comparative for 6/24

4:24 pm

shirin

thanks haz

4:24 pm

shirin

how about the he6,27?

4:27 pm

Haz1558

he6/27 - add the birthplace of Michael Jackson, but replace the sometimes vowel at the end with a proper one.

4:28 pm

Haz1558

Or, if not familiar with that, a man's name (Mr Numan, Mr Coleman, Mr Player the golfer)

4:28 pm

amandacath

Haz, why do you know where Michael Jackson was born?

4:28 pm

Haz1558

Because I retain all sorts of useless information in my head.

4:29 pm

shirin

thank you, I didnt know the mj one, but I live near a street named after the golfer

4:29 pm

Haz1558

It's not that I'm a fan of his!

4:30 pm

amandacath

Now that I've looked it up, I'll probably waste a few brain cells retaining it too ... grr

4:30 pm

Haz1558

Sorry!

4:30 pm

shirin

its ok if you are

4:31 pm

amandacath

Oh well, they can make friends with the other brain cells retaining useless knowledge

4:31 pm

shirin

poor guy. I feel sorry for him to have had such a life to such a sad ending to his story so far

4:32 pm

shirin

sorry, I just reread my last setence and it doesnt make sense at all!

4:32 pm

movieman

Hiya, everyone, Sauron has returned!!!!

Just come back to get my last 30 odd words.....

4:32 pm

EasternBlue

hi movieman!!

4:32 pm

EasternBlue

Movieman - and odd words I'm sure they'll be...this grid has some whacky ones...

4:33 pm

KittyVane

Hello again Movieman!

4:33 pm

amandacath

Hi movieman! Christopher's b-day today? That must have been a fun week on the set, what with Mr. Mckellan's being a couple of days ago

4:33 pm

Haz1558

Hello Movieman!

4:33 pm

movieman

And talking about Jacko, I'm still a fan of his music, but nowadays I find myself leaning more and more towards Prince........

4:34 pm

monkeeboi

hi guys...are there any my words?

4:34 pm

amandacath

Prince rools!

4:34 pm

movieman

Yep, Chris Lee is 84 today......

4:34 pm

Haz1558

Don't lean too far, you'll knock him over. He looks very frail!

4:34 pm

EasternBlue

monkeeboi - not that I know of...but I still have a quite a few words to find...

4:34 pm

Haz1558

Not a my word to be found.

4:35 pm

amandacath

Michael Jackson or Prince, Haz? I think Prince is tougher than he looks

4:35 pm

monkeeboi

thx

4:35 pm

Haz1558

I was thinking of Prince but neither of them are particularly strong looking specimens of manhood!

4:37 pm

shirin

any clues for the ma6,24 and the ma6,27?

4:37 pm

amandacath

True, but I do find Prince strangely erotic, in his own princely way

4:37 pm

shirin

I also need the lo5,14 and lo6,24 if anyone would be so generous.

4:38 pm

movieman

lo5/14 - rhymes with go5/18.....

4:38 pm

Haz1558

There are two ma6/24 - one is used to reduce vegetables to a pulp, the other is an old-fashioned golf club. ma6/27 is French for skinny - think of a French detective and remove the t at the end

4:38 pm

movieman

lo6/24 - more than a lump of wood......

4:39 pm

shirin

cool, thanks

4:39 pm

ShadeEagle

any help with the gr 6/36?

4:39 pm

EasternBlue

off to make dinner...I'll be back later...

4:40 pm

Haz1558

lo5/14 - three letters - English toilet, followed by start of seeing body part.

4:40 pm

movieman

gr6/36 - 2 matching syllables.....

4:40 pm

shirin

I have the one to reduce veggies, but I have no idea about golf nor French:

4:40 pm

Haz1558

gr6/36 - gr plus a vowel, then repeat it.

4:40 pm

amandacath

origami doesn't work either, unfortunately

4:41 pm

movieman

The golf club sounds like a slang term for m***** potatoes.....

4:41 pm

EasternBlue

shirin - ma 6 - for pulverized potatoes....the one who does the pulverizing

4:41 pm

Haz1558

The golf club one - take the ending off the vegetable and replace it with two vowels.

4:42 pm

amandacath

are there any gh's?

4:42 pm

movieman

nope!!!

4:43 pm

amandacath

thank you, movieman, for that bit of good news

4:43 pm

Haz1558

The ma6/27 could also be formed by reversing some letters of the ma4/7 wise men and adding two letters which normally indicate 'again'

4:43 pm

ShadeEagle

......uh, that word doesn't exist in the puzzle.

4:44 pm

Haz1558

Which word ShadeEagle?

4:44 pm

ShadeEagle

the gr 6 / 36 you gave me a clue to

4:44 pm

movieman

ShadeEagle - the gr6/36 has 2 syllables that sound like the past participle of "grow".....

4:45 pm

Haz1558

It's gr plus the last vowel, then gr plus the last vowel. It's there.

4:45 pm

amandacath

It does, ShadeEagle - I had to look for quite a while, too, but I finally found it. Repeat a syllable twice

4:46 pm

shirin

thanks, those were good clues

4:46 pm

ShadeEagle

....oops, there it is.

4:46 pm

Babbler

fanfare please, while I enter my last word.....

4:47 pm

Haz1558

I'll do the drum roll.......

4:47 pm

ShadeEagle

I was starting with the wrong G - thanks guys

4:47 pm

movieman

*Trumpet at the ready*

4:47 pm

amandacath

I'll do the trumpets!

4:47 pm

So this great little town I live in sent 2 policemen, 8 firemen, 3 or 4 police cars, 2 fire trucks, and 4 youth rescue squad to my house.

10:51 pm

holy cow, nrkii!!!!

10:51 pm

nrkii

At least 20 of my neighbors came out to see what was going on.

10:51 pm

helenkeller

wow nrkii !!!! what happened?

10:51 pm

libarebel

for the alarm?

10:51 pm

nrkii

My carbon monoxide detector, which is hard-wired, went off. I didn't know what to do, so I called fire department.

10:52 pm

renfield

what happened nrkii??????

10:52 pm

GreyWoulf

nrkii -- we had a similar response here to my call about the bonfire in the woods

10:52 pm

mamabear

so why did your detector go off?

10:52 pm

helenkeller

wait til you get the bill, lol

10:52 pm

nrkii

mamabear, no clue why it went off -- they said "call again if it goes off again"

10:53 pm

nrkii

they were nice, and they did a thorough job, but they didn't find anything... which is a good thing, but leaves the event a mystery

10:53 pm

mamabear

maybe change the batteries?

10:53 pm

nrkii

so, I'll be sleeping with the window open tonight I guess

10:53 pm

GreyWoulf

nrkii -- if you call again, be sure to sell tickets! ;)

10:53 pm

libarebel

well they do really respond, but w/ overkill-- if one dials 911, you get it all even if you explain...

10:53 pm

nrkii

no batteries mamabear, it's hard wired

10:53 pm

libarebel

that you don't need it

10:53 pm

nrkii

yeah, no fault to find with them -- and they kept saying I was right to call

10:54 pm

nrkii

woulf, indeed :)

10:54 pm

libarebel

way better to be safe, nrkii, good for you!

10:54 pm

mamabear

I just read your bio nrkii..... you are a poet??? I wrote a poem ... would love your opinion, sometime?

10:54 pm

GreyWoulf

not always, libarebel -- 3 months ago when I called to get transport for my son because he was wheezing in his sleep at 2 weeks old, I only got one officer and the ambulance

10:55 pm

libarebel

oh, dear, GreyWoulf, where?

10:55 pm

mamabear

GW is right - it's not like that everywhere.

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

of course, the ambulance didn't have the right gear to transport a newborn and we had to call gramma to come over with the only car seat we had so we could take him over ourselves

10:56 pm

mamabear

still can't find the au 5/12

10:56 pm

libarebel

we have wonderful fire dep't. in boston!

10:56 pm

nrkii

mamabear, sure thing ... I'm a wannabe poet, have written since I was 7, mostly bad, but a couple that I'm happy with

10:56 pm

mamabear

THAT'S inexcusable, GW!!!!

10:56 pm

mamabear

do you have an email I can send it to, nrkii?

10:56 pm

libarebel

yes, GW, where?

10:56 pm

nrkii

Woulf, that is terrible!

10:57 pm

nrkii

mama, it's my name here @aol

10:57 pm

renfield

au + consonant (same as au 5/16) + 2nd & 3rd vowel

10:57 pm

mamabear

OK.... thanks!!!!!

10:57 pm

GreyWoulf

libarebel -- Seb was wheezing so we wanted to have him checked out due to his newborn status. Due to our awareness we had him in the hospital just as he was beginning to manifest RSV

10:57 pm

nrkii

be sure to put something in the subject line to distinguish yourself :)

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Mom spent a week in the hospital with him and he is just fine now -- though he does still have a tendency to wheeze every now and then

10:58 pm

mamabear

what amI doing wrong, Ren - that doesnt' work for me

10:58 pm

mamabear

OK, nrkii I will.

10:59 pm

libarebel

wow, GW, glad you had such foresight

10:59 pm

AHHH, got it now! Thanks Rennie!

yes, as soon as I stop having fun figuring it out myself, I turn to the chat, and as soon as I stop having fun struggling without the list, I go to the list

11:11 pm

renfield

how about the mo 6?

11:11 pm

GreyWoulf

That's the best way, nrkii -- IMHO :)

11:11 pm

nrkii

HE + presidential hopeful of past ***Y HART + first person singular

11:11 pm

mamabear

and when the list is no longer fun, I go to bed!

11:12 pm

renfield

and when the bed is no longer fun, i open up babble again

11:12 pm

libarebel

I find the list to be a navigation hassle--maybe if I printed it...

11:12 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks, nrkii

11:12 pm

mamabear

exactly, Ren!!!!!

11:13 pm

nrkii

I open the list up very thin on left of my screen, so I can scroll the chat, the word list, and lickety's list without having to switch or minimize

11:13 pm

GreyWoulf

libarebel -- I open it in a separate window and shrink it to a manageable size

11:13 pm

libarebel

hmm, ty, might try it :)

11:13 pm

renfield

sometimes i have so many windows open i get a cross draft on my screen

11:14 pm

nrkii

ren the MO is M double vowel, consonant, double vowel -- sounds sort of like miss piggy saying ME? RAY?

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

That is the only thing I don't like about the new layout for the site -- prior to the change the wordlist was right next to the other window with the 2nd letter list

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, ren

11:15 pm

libarebel
