faeriekae

Rebekb that really wasn't called for now was it?

12:47 am

kristinc

no...but a word that rhymes with posey is...

12:47 am

faeriekae

We all have someone or something that we worship and I do worship God.

12:48 am

rebekb

It's justl ike any other spam isn't it?

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

Ok i made up a word, it's a challenged centipede - a decipede.

12:48 am

ls1

rebekb is no more offensive than oogly

12:48 am

oogley

even though we are playing babble we can encourage each other to do the right thing. can't we ?

12:48 am

helenkeller

i agree with ls1 - each entitled to their opinion - no matter how lame

12:48 am

kristinc

here here for the decipede...adding that to my personal vocab melon!

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

oogley, timing is everything - this is not your best forum, dear.

12:49 am

Dippnall

I agree faerie - I'm with you - but maybe this chat isn't the time or place. Catch us elsewhere oog.

12:49 am

shirin

i like that word, decipede!

12:49 am

faeriekae

Ogg-I sure hope so.

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

ty kris!

12:49 am

rebekb

I'm only interested in playing babble, not in people using this space as a soapbox

12:49 am

helenkeller

melon - LOL - last comic standing is back on - you ought to audition

12:49 am

kierlex

i agree, not here to be preached to

12:49 am

faeriekae

Politics and Religion are very touchie subjects and I do try to steer clear of them in chat Yes

12:50 am

Erda

oog, you'd be better preaching somewhere else

12:51 am

faeriekae

I wish I could count the time we/Babbler have had prayer for each other..I'm sorry you feel this way.

12:51 am

libarebel

soapbox is not in today's puzzle

12:51 am

rebekb

You are entitled to your beliefs, let's just leave this space for playing babble

12:51 am

helenkeller

see here, you all, i disagree, one of the best chat days i had here was discussing the immigration issue - chat went on for a very, very long time with many involved, strong opinions, but very, very mannered - it was great!

12:51 am

shirin

wow, you guys are pretty adamant about this, arent you

12:51 am

ls1

YES

12:52 am

Erda

I come here to play a game PLEASE

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

hk, you flatter me, but tx. it's a lot of work to be THAT funny, & i'm surpassingly lazy.

12:52 am

kierlex

well, an 'advertisement' is not the same as a conversation

12:52 am

ls1

discussion is different than preaching

12:52 am

helenkeller

LOL - melon - clearly you are not 'brain-lazy'

12:52 am

libarebel

yes, helen, political chat can be good here...

12:53 am

shirin

I didnt see it as preaching, just sharing something that was enjoyable to one of us babblers

12:53 am

faeriekae

Guess I'll bow out now. Good night and pleasant dreams to all. Happy Babbling

12:53 am

helenkeller

yes, good point ls1 - & what we are doing now is having a discussion about preaching :)

12:53 am

Erda

which one?

12:53 am

helenkeller

good nite faeri

12:53 am

libarebel

nite, faeriekae

12:53 am

kierlex

well, it looked like spam to me. to each his/her own i spoze..

12:53 am

SamanthaJoy

The first time it was sharing. But it's been repeated, and not apropos of any of the discussions, several times now. That's just a lack of social skills

12:54 am

Dippnall

bye bye faerie - see you later ;)

12:54 am

Erda

I'm outta here

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

hk, i owe it all to my late mother of blessed memory. anytime i make someone laugh i realize it's to her credit. she was witty, wayyyy smart - a bridge player, scrabble genius, and killer UPWORDS player. MY girlfriends adored her. i miss her every single day; it's just over a year.

12:54 am

rebekb

I love UPWORDS, that and scrabble are my favorite games

12:54 am

12:55 am

georgiaj

poise

12:55 am

georgiaj

sorry!!!

12:55 am

rebekb

It's a kind of scrabble, but you build words on top of one another

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

after UPWORDS i couldn't go back to scrabble. oh, & Mom did the NYT quote acrostic in INK!

12:55 am

SamanthaJoy

It's a board game, kier, where you tack letters on top of other letters to make new words

12:55 am

libarebel

ty, geo!

12:55 am

rebekb

You can go up five levels, it's great

12:56 am

helenkeller

ohhhh melon, you break my heart, it gets easier with time, but you'll always cherish those memories/feeling, as time goes by, with not so much pain - my mom died almost 20 years ago, i feel for you

12:56 am

Egregious Jones

heh, georgia -- I thought maybe it was a request

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

liba, it's a real passage, losing a parent. we miss them but internalize all their best.

12:56 am

rebekb

I know what you mean melon, I play it with my father, we pretty much gave up scrabble after that

12:56 am

kierlex

ahh. i just bought a cool game for my son's birthday where you lay down tiles and now i can't remember the name of it lol

12:57 am

kierlex

ohh i remember, it is Blokus. anyone play that??

12:57 am

helenkeller

melon - so did mine (in ink), & we used to play cutthroat scrabble too

12:57 am

knutmeg

woot! do8/55 and do9/72!

12:57 am

libarebel

I still feel, after 9 years, that my mother can see me-- helps me to do the right thing...

12:58 am

kierlex

i feel like that about my grandma, like she is watching or checking in on me once in a while. i also think 'hmm, what would my grandma do in this situation' and it is so helpful

12:58 am

ooooh I'd like to see that! me: *holds out sppon with horrid smelling gloop on* hobbit! come and eat this lovely stuff! hobbit: *runs*

3:09 am

sprite

You go the wrong way about that, Ata. You must drop in on the floor and yell: Noooooo hobbit, don't touch it, nooooo!

3:11 am

sprite

Ata, what was that cod-word again you wanted to have here?

3:11 am

Atalante

LOOOOL. She's too clever for that one, though - I've tried it! The one way to get her to eat anything, I've found out though, is to put it on my dinner plate and pretend to eat it and then put it down on the floor for her. In that way, the icky thing is instantly transformed into Major Treat from My Plate

3:11 am

Atalante

copepod

3:11 am

I still want to know what that is.
But there is an EN-combo that looks like it.

Cat9x

Hi everyone, I wanted to thank you all for allowing me to vent and talk a few nights ago about my Mom, and her suffering from lung cancer when we were talking about the smoking issue. My Mom passed today. Again, wanted to thank you. You all saved my sanity many a nights when I would come home from caring for her, and come on here, and talk and laugh with everyone. Not trying to bring anyone down, just wanted you to know, whether any of you knew it or not, you in a small part, helped me :) Thanks everyone. Now, eyes half closed, I plan on tacking this grid. :)

Don't ask how you through a fish either.

7:10 am

licketySplitAUS

remembering clues from clue list

7:10 am

leighprefect

Une- Where are you?

7:10 am

Frances

We still haven't quite recovered from the storms yesterday. Still very dull today

7:10 am

Merk

The 'sn' were so cool. I love building on like that.

7:10 am

Uneaixoise

Tennessee

7:10 am

Oh...heh. Cuz it was close to that here, too...

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

we had a really nice extended coolish spring and now BOOM it's summer!

7:11 am

mrpresident

anyone else want to test?? free fish with every bug found!
What do you mean remembering clues??

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

test?

7:11 am

rosalind230

test what?

7:12 am

licketySplitAUS

I mean - if you tick some, then reboot, it remembers! It was a challenge!

7:12 am

mrpresident

lickety needs to test his new development of the cluel list

7:12 am

licketySplitAUS

close page, or seperate browser is as good as a reboot

7:12 am

Frances

I'vetried itlickety and yes, it worked thanks

7:13 am

mrpresident

physical challenge!!

7:13 am

rolin

how far away are you guys...physically...from each other?

7:13 am

licketySplitAUS

I'd have to bounce the fish off about 3 walls

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

rolin, have you looked at the Babble Flickr map?

7:13 am

mrpresident

I am fish bullet proof lickety

7:13 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah - I put myself on the map.

7:14 am

Frances

Just looked to try it and now I've gone back to working without a list

7:14 am

amandacath

I'm in Hamburg - for the moment the sun has peeked out, have to take advantage of it as long as it's there!

7:14 am

rosalind230

yes its fine

7:14 am

licketySplitAUS

ptchow

7:14 am

mrpresident

nice going lickety!

7:15 am

licketySplitAUS

with the fish or clues?

7:15 am

rolin

nope...i was just wondering if mrp and lickity are in the same room..or dff. rooms..cos my partner and i..(we met over the net)...often chat thru walls..both on pc

7:16 am

licketySplitAUS

I see mrp in person when she comes for more fish ;-)

7:16 am

Frances

amandacath
Nice to know where people are and as you don't have a profile it was guess the country time and I would not have guessed Germany

7:16 am

licketySplitAUS

Germany - must be a popular place at the moment!

7:17 am

Frances

Germany to be avoided like the plague if you don't like football!

7:17 am

mrpresident

rolin, he is about 10 metres away! LOL, we IM eachother to announce dinner, phone calls, to turn the fish in the oven etc...

7:18 am

rolin

ooookay..misinterpretted the word 'partner'

7:18 am

rolin

oooh so i AM right...hey thats cool..

7:18 am

rolin

we do the same..lol..

7:18 am

mrpresident

too funny :))

7:18 am

Frances

mrpresident
Is that the modern equivalent of putting post it notes on the fridge?

7:18 am

licketySplitAUS

if I wasn't working I'd be as close as I could be ;-)

7:18 am

amandacath

is it? I'm on the Flickr map - yeah, I await the world cup with trepidation. I don't mind football so much, it's the tourists and possible hooligans I'm worried about

7:19 am

Frances

AH

7:19 am

Merk

Ignorance here. I use lickety's list, but are there clue lists or definitions someplace on line?

7:19 am

Frances

amandacath
You hit the nail on the head - hooligans

7:19 am

rolin

*nodding*... yeah.. its the same with us...i teach..hes an it person..when we both need to work..we remind each other who's turn it is to make the tea..lol

7:20 am

mrpresident

frances! It is just like that!! I IM him when the kids are playing up, even though we both hear them, I have the power on IM!! go me!!

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

yes, brandyjack's list is also a good one

7:20 am

Frances

WTG mrp

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

here's brandyjack's list: http://tinyurl.com/q4nna

7:21 am

amandacath

ok, i really am off now be back in a little while

7:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Merk : 172428 definitions or clues would be a FEAT indeed!

7:23 am

mrpresident

do you guys think clues would be beneficial?? or that definitions would be sportsman-like on a clue page??
It is very interesting to know....

7:23 am

Frances

You can also reach brandyjack's list via the http://p105.ezboard.com/bbabblersanony
mous link

7:23 am

mrpresident

I perhaps worded that wrong, but would like input on this topic

7:24 am

leighprefect

Have fun babbling all...I'm off to the doctor. >P

7:24 am

licketySplitAUS

I think if you get the word you could add a def, and everyone else who got it could add a clue too, and then you could all vote on which one to show

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

frances, i was just trying to shorten the link :-)

7:24 am

Frances

You can also reach brandyjack's list via the bbabblersanonymous link below is what I meant to say

7:25 am

rolin

mrp..its like all the diff pages...if ya wanna list you can get one..if ya wanna clue..you could get one...

7:25 am

rolin

no one will be forced to look

7:25 am

licketySplitAUS

angelsong has a good resource for all that

7:25 am

mrpresident

Oh that sounds like a dangerous liasion lickety... the fart word could attract many kids with their own interpretation and then we would suffer!!

7:26 am

licketySplitAUS

could be ranking priority?

7:26 am

Frances

mrpresident
Is that the F word from yesterday? I laughed so much

7:27 am

mrpresident

rolin, there are some on the chat that are very strong in their opinion of a list... full stop!! I have noticed the backlash and wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that!! LOL, but you are right, we all have a right to play the game as we like... what ever turns us on!

7:28 am

Atalante

I was wondering about being able to add clues adn hints yesterday, so I think it's a great idea

7:28 am

rolin

what...ppl think there shouldnt be a list at all??

7:28 am

Atalante

not that I'd ever use them of course LOL lists? *gasp* horror!!

7:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Who's that in the room? H ... H...... Hate to say something wrong now!

7:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Atalante - arn't you topping the rankings?

7:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Congratulations!

7:29 am

mrpresident

LOL!!

7:29 am

Atalante

no idea LOL couldn't care less about the rankings!

7:30 am

renfield

please don;t throw me into the list patch mrp! morning ya'll

7:30 am

mrpresident

that is the point Atalante... the game is fun fun fun!! those who take it seriously weird like the word olympics need to take a break!!

7:31 am

Angelsong

morning!

7:31 am

mattygroves

Howdie. Any weird words (besides the do/9) I should be aware of?

7:31 am

rolin

i think the to combo its a bit stange 8&9

7:31 am

mrpresident

{{{ren}}} Hi ya!!

7:32 am

Atalante

well, friendly competition is fun. not even competition even, thats the wrong word, but striving to do as well as you can, with the list or without the list, is the best thing I think. I'll happily go to the list if I'm utterly stuck, and I think you'll find everyone else who likes to work without it would too!

7:32 am

renfield

((((mrp)))) ((((all the world)))

7:32 am

mrpresident

matty, I put the si7's on the weird list and the en7&8 are close!!

7:33 am

Anniebrook

good morning babblers, just wanted to see the grid and will be back this afternoon

7:33 am

abe79

good morning

7:33 am

rolin

theres an si7??.. oooh gooooody

7:33 am

renfield

out of here - time to work - see you all later

7:33 am

mrpresident

bye rennie!!

7:34 am

Karys

Atalante...I agree with you...thats the way I work...I really need the list for the last few every time

7:34 am

mattygroves

What, no chav?!

7:34 am

mrpresident

no chav's here today my dear!

7:35 am

Atalante

Hurshy and I always end up trying to get the last lot of words together - she's always got some I haven't and I have some she doesn't. and then we try and kick the grid enough that it gives up the rest!!

7:36 am

Frances

Atalante
I've started this week trying to do without lists and did manage a biggie. However, that doesn't mean that if I'm really stuck I will not look

7:37 am

mrpresident

I started out harrasing the hell out of people on the grid for words... and they were more than happy to clue! then I started getting hints from people to use the list, then hints to use resources,... I figured I wasn't so great and should hunt for clues ... then I got better and finally started to finish! I get stuck, I go the list and the resources!!

7:37 am

licketySplitAUS

Atalante - finishing a grid is a fabulous achievement! Doing it without help - well Hat's off! Good to hear that you get help and admit it! I just can't phathom how much of a memory you'd have to have to do it solo in 24 hours.

7:38 am

Frances

Do my troop of monkeys count?

7:38 am

licketySplitAUS

As long as they are stuck to your digits! heheheh - good one - Ooopps, I slipped and got the 11 letter!

7:39 am

mrpresident

MY monkeys have welts on their ass most days!! animal cruelty!! come and get me!

7:39 am

Atalante

occasionally *occasionally* I can do a grid with no help, but generally that's only Sprite's domain! LOL mrp that's exactly how I ended up doing it - if you don't challenge yourself a bit, you don't get anywhere. but I am very very glad forall the clues in the log!!

7:40 am

Frances

The clues are wonderful and sometime hillarious

7:41 am

Karys

me too....clues I mean.....I love to give clues if I can but I'm not very quick !!...but I feel extremely clever if I can...it's as enjoyable as the babble

7:41 am

Atalante

utterly! the clues are often the best part!

7:42 am

mrpresident

my favourite clues are the out-of-the-box ones... like the en8... the final of mp3

7:42 am

Karys

just what I was saying to my man in bed this morning !!Â¬

7:42 am

mrpresident

LOL karys!!!

7:43 am

Atalante

I think that's the one thing I don't like about this chat log - when clues start getting like curly letter + letter before m + you + 2nd vowel. just write the word, dammit! LOL!

7:43 am

Karys

LOL

7:44 am

Frances

Just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow and wouldn't you know that where I'm going for cricket its going to be yet another cloudy day with perhaps some more showers. I just wish the clouds would stop crying. You'd think they'd be all dried out by now!

7:45 am

Karys

brb

7:45 am

mrpresident

too right atalante! the last 1/2 hour tends to be when they are *required* and that is to me ok, cause what is the harm!? when the kids come on, they want easy clues and that is another time for going-the-easy... otherwise, list and resource yourself for extra comfort!!

7:46 am

Atalante

oh yes I agree! its when they appear 1/2 an hour after a new grid that I start throwing stabby things around!

7:46 am

Frances

They don't just want easy clues - they want the words

7:47 am

Atalante

you're right Frances

7:47 am

mrpresident

Frances, that is when I give them the fish words on a place with lemon and sweet chilli sauce and tartare for extra topping :))

7:47 am

8:09 am

GraceM

can someone explain the fish references today?

8:10 am

amandacath

jbp - fluorescent dungarees (it's a babblet, remember it when you get it, it shows up almost every time there's a j in the grid)

8:10 am

Kateq

another word for dungarees but change the second vowel from the first vowel to the fourth vowel

8:11 am

jbp

kate & amanda...thanks for the dungarees, especially the flourescent kind!

8:11 am

movieman

Just changed my icon.......refresh people!!!!!!

8:12 am

amandacath

yw, jbp. Grace, we like to smack ourselves upside the head with a virtual wet mackerel (or whatever the fish du jour may be) when we miss an obvious word. We're odd like that

8:12 am

Angelsong

LOL......looks like Old McDonald has paid us a visit today...

8:13 am

deb333

Can someone please tell me how many words are in today's puzzle?

hiya all

clue for the i words: related to small particles.

8:33 am

amandacath

were you gone, hannah?

8:34 am

jbp

grace, there are 3 of those, so far... the things themselves, to make them, and made them

8:34 am

jbp

are you saying that there's another oine?

8:34 am

hannah lou

i went out

8:34 am

amandacath

well then, welcome back

8:35 am

hannah lou

and i ave jst come bck

8:35 am

ylleria

clue for first co 6/24, please?

8:35 am

GraceM

no, just 3. Then there's the words related to cold and the words related to figures.

8:35 am

ylleria

never mind - got it

8:35 am

amandacath

has to do with morpine, ylleria - start with the fish, then fiddle with vowels

8:36 am

jbp

care to share, ylleria?

8:36 am

ylleria

it's the first co 4 with some random vowels added on the end

8:36 am

tndaisy1960

*shivers* I'm allergic to co 6, if it's what I think it is

8:37 am

amandacath

i cheated to the list - the last i is a 6/24 *goes hunting*

8:37 am

ylleria

okay, so does anyone have a clue for the co 8?

8:38 am

amandacath

ylleria - what glue provides (we'll have the fish ready, I needed it too)

8:38 am

ylleria

thanks amandacath :)

8:39 am

jbp

if that co is the drug, i can't get it to be spelled right...

8:39 am

GraceM

ah, so people do have some of the 8s.

8:40 am

tndaisy1960

me either jbp...I don't think it's in there after all

8:41 am

amandacath

it's not the normal drug, that one isn't there (or at least i haven't found it). Starts the same, then 3 vowels

8:41 am

movieman

Just got the last i.......

Whoever said ipod was close, but there's 2 more letters between the "i" and the "pod"......

8:41 am

jbp

and i don't get the glue one either

8:41 am

scribble

which c does the co8 come off of?

8:42 am

ylleria

it's not the drug itself, jbp, but relating to it. Try the first co 4/6, and mess about adding vowles on the end

8:42 am

amandacath

Ah! Thx, MM - twin pea homes!

8:42 am

ylleria

it comes off the c in the middle column

8:42 am

Jacula

There's only on 'c' in the grid, scribble.:)

8:42 am

Can anyone help with eu 8/55 please?

8:43 am

Jacula

*Or even only one c! LOL

8:43 am

scribble

oh right....*duh*....i think i meant which O....

8:43 am

jbp

so it starts with the co 4 plural fish?

8:43 am

jfarber

Drug one: is like Lear's daughter, but missing an r and an l.

8:43 am

jfarber

Does that help?

8:44 am

ylleria

jbp - for the glue one, if something is together as a whole, it possesses the quality of co******

8:44 am

jbp

thanks jfarber!!!!!!!

8:44 am

amandacath

btw, there's an e7-8 combo that's like the is6/24...

8:44 am

amandacath

jpb, singular fish, then the vowels

8:44 am

jbp

thx, amanda.

8:44 am

jfarber

I bet the Lear reference got it. This is a literate group :-)

8:45 am

Aloyisius

Hey -- just noticed the deadly (tasteless and odorless) powder is in this one!

8:46 am

jfarber

Have neither e7-8 combo nor is6/24, tho -- clues for those, please?

8:47 am

I think the server where babble and sudoku are located needs to be rebooted.

10:45 am

faeriekae

I don't like e words "either" LOL

10:45 am

faeriekae

Actually I think Dr_G needs a larger server

10:46 am

stidmatt

Maybe. That might just work.

10:46 am

faeriekae

Stidmatt - Something needs to be done huh?

10:47 am

stidmatt

Yeah, it is really acting funny, even though it would cost money.

10:48 am

faeriekae

No kidding this is getting crazy. It wouldn't take my words yesterday

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

co 5/16 after the 6/24 duplicates, please?

10:49 am

stidmatt

Or it may just be the dictionary, which is the worst of the English language!

10:49 am

amandacath

TO - snuggle up and get warm and c*** - stick in another vowel

10:49 am

Uncagain

hmm, I have been thinking of paying the money to go pro. Are the server problems severeenough to make it a bad idea?

11:18 am

72 Temple Owl

do8/55, 9/72 combo clue, please?

11:18 am

amandacath

TO - it's an alternate spelling for a kind of silk

11:18 am

abe79

do 8/9 combo is a misspelling of a type of silk. it sounds more "italian"...

11:19 am

Babbledude

Thanks Lisa : )

11:19 am

Haz1558

vo5/18 - plural of vox

11:19 am

amandacath

hi haz - you're back!

11:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, just briefly, before I start to make the evening meal. I haven't had time today to get properly settled into this grid.

11:20 am

dl88

anders - en + 4th letter & 4th vowel + where peas reside

11:20 am

dl88

then plural

11:21 am

anders

di88, thanx!

11:21 am

11:23 am

BGL

Isn't there always interest in those?

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

yes thank you! i am only on the e words at present

11:24 am

dl88

amandacath, change the last letter of your 6/27 to the cross letter

11:25 am

Haz1558

Okay pa8/55 is the plural for pa7/40 - first three letters what you would cook in, then Scottish exclamation (three letters, guttural sound) and second vowel. Then pluralise.

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i am at the en's.....7 & 8

11:25 am

Haz1558

to8/55 - foot digit and a part

11:25 am

debbinla

good morning america (and other countries)

11:30 am

Anniebrook

gm debbinia

11:30 am

Haz1558

No lisalou, they're a kind of shorthand code for the words. 9 letters and 66 points. A full explanation is given in Angelsong's page (look under Friends of babble at the bottom of the page)

11:31 am

lisalou

oh right, thanks!

11:31 am

11:35 am

Anniebrook

kim----foot digit + part of something

11:35 am

kimberblue

thanks

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

way to go amanda!

11:37 am

amandacath

Annie - when (if!) I get those odd, odd words, it's because I remember them from previous grids, or I monkey-type them based on the number of points

11:39 am

Anniebrook

amanda, that's what i do too. i also monkey type away and sometimes i see the green bar. this is very addictive. my daughter's fault, bless her.

11:39 am

kimberblue

can you please tell me what the other 9 starts with, not the to/9- thanks

11:39 am

rycaut

I'm missing one of the last to 5's just before the hair substitute (I think) any clues?

11:39 am

amandacath

it's a do8&9 combo, Kim - alt. spelling for a kind of silk

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

eu 8 please?

11:41 am

amandacath

rycaut - between the to9 and the hair, all begin with the same 3 letters

11:41 am

rycaut

gotcha , so I'm missing something after the last to 4

11:43 am

rycaut

nevermind - got it

11:45 am

magzel

12:49 pm

phandmd

hi there, Can I have a clue for the eu 8 pls?

12:53 pm

Haz1558

eu8/55 is a strange word and difficult to clue. eu plus a vegetable sound alike letter. Add a negative word (two letters) then follow with an anagram of frozen water.

12:53 pm

Uncagain

the eu 8 word ends in the letter after b, and the three letters before are all vowels. Sorry , if that is not clear but is all I have been able to come up with

12:54 pm

phandmd

Thanx Haz, your clue worked! Thanx to you too, Uncagain

12:54 pm

Haz1558

That's good - see what I mean about a strange word?

12:55 pm

Erda

About the eu8 word: cruel and unusual punishment...there ought to be a law...

12:56 pm

Hobious

Hey BGL, you still around?

12:56 pm

Erda

1:11 pm

Vicuna

Was your house on fire, stidmama?

1:11 pm

stidmama

hi movieman! haven't seen you in forever!

1:12 pm

stidmama

no Vicuna, been without running water all weekend, the well failed. I picked up the part we need, but am not electrically inclined so have to wait until Tom gets home this afternoon...

1:12 pm

stidmama

I am down to 139 words, want another 39 and then I will go play outside for a couple hours. :-) (happy thought)

1:13 pm

Vicuna

Oh, what a pain! (Though luckily not as painful as a conflagration, of course.)

1:14 pm

stidmama

absolutely not as bad as a fire (dealt with one of those in a bedroom soon after we moved in -- small, but smelly -- kids don't always get the point about matches...)

1:15 pm

Vicuna

Oh, they get the point about matches -- just not the point about consequences!

1:16 pm

stidmama

well, he got the point after the firemen came, and Tom came home early -- and I was a total wreck... I don't think he'll ever do something like that again!

1:16 pm

Vicuna

An adventure, to say the least!

1:17 pm

stidmama

truly! and fortunately, not an expensive one... in life or property. My biggest fear is fire...

1:19 pm

stidmama

hmmm... looks like this grid is heavily "co" dependent... think I'll dive in for a while!

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Ha ha! Take a deep breath!

1:20 pm

ap6/27 - attach, esp like something added to a document

1:24 pm

ap6/27 - attach.

1:24 pm

Greetings All.

1:24 pm

abe79

ah, speaking of fish...thanks vicuna, charm, and uneaixoise. a's are done

1:24 pm

Minski

Is there a clue for the D8&9 for those of us who are fabric challenged?

1:25 pm

stidmatt

'Sup everybody who just logged in. Sorry Minski.

1:25 pm

Charm

Hey, stidmatt. (as my 4yo says:) nothing

1:25 pm

Charm

d8/9 - Italian silk. sounds like 2 baby horses.

1:26 pm

Vicuna

Minski, start with a twosome, then add the little particle that starts with p, end with first person sing. nominative pronoun

1:27 pm

Vicuna

(Actually, I guess I was being dyslexic with my twosome. you'd have to reverse the vowels. Sorry.)

1:29 pm

smithchick

Hi everybody...I've tried all kinds of combinations and I can't get that d8/9 combo...

1:29 pm

Erda

Speak Italian, lived in Italy, never heard of that silk.....

1:30 pm

smithchick

I've seen it spelled du...but still can't make it work adding the o.

1:31 pm

Vicuna

The silk is usually spelled du-, not do. Try this: first three letters of what you feel when you're not sure, next four letters are a small p- particle, last letter me, and pl for the 9.

1:31 pm

Charm

d8/9 - do + not I + 3.141 + round vowel + the knights who say **.

1:32 pm

Erda

Let me try: first note of the musical scale + not down + charged particle + third vowel.....then pluralize it

1:33 pm

Haz1558

Those clues have worked for me!

1:34 pm

1:37 pm

Anniebrook

1:37 pm

Devo is an 80's band with silly hats and a whip. But it isn't a word.

1:37 pm

Erda

THINK FRUIT

1:44 pm

Vicuna

is6/24 - member of group including pillbugs, is + vowel + suffix for foot, or place where peas are alike

1:44 pm

tracymoo

than, think fruit as both a noun (and its pl) and a verb past tense

1:47 pm

M3

en/7 please?

1:49 pm

Vicuna

en7 would mean "internal foot" if my Latin serves me. Start with opp of beginning + vowel + place where peas are alike

Don't think I'll keep it long cos I find my regular treble clef sign more disinctive. Today I won't have time to babble because Our son is visiting and we so rarely have him with us that every moment is precious. See you all later.

Is Barrie in BC? I saw a thing on TV a year ago I tried and seems to work. I take my banana peels and shove them just under the soil surface near my roses. The potassium leaches out slowly and keeps them happy. Also, they are in the protected, warmer (but not hot) areas of the yard.

4:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

emusing

sorry about the other message.

5:20 pm

anders

why does that not work for me?

5:20 pm

Munner

emsuing, it comes past tense with the fish

5:20 pm

hurshy

anders, it is a pl of a pi4/5...

5:20 pm

Haz1558

op6/24 - past tense of the door not being closed

5:20 pm

BGL

emsuing~ what you did to the door

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

is 6/24 please?

5:21 pm

hurshy

5:22 pm

5:23 pm

BGL

Is morse co** the first co?

5:24 pm

hurshy

it's the first i have but i need 7 mroe C words :)

5:24 pm

jeffer

ve 5/16? please

5:24 pm

BGL

THanks, hurshy, not sure that helps me figure out what I'm missing, though. :)

5:25 pm

hurshy

logically BGL, i believe it must be, i've just tried the coa's and none work, and nothing else can come before that.

5:25 pm

Vicuna

It is, BGL.

5:26 pm

BGL

Thanks. Now I know where I'm stumped

5:26 pm

Vicuna

But hurshy, logic quails before the grid.

5:26 pm

ls1

ap 7/36 please?

5:26 pm

hurshy

oh, good, thanks vi, cause i just realized the flaw in my logic - i only tried 4's :)

5:27 pm

Vicuna

ap7/36 - ap + negative + vowel + adj ending

5:27 pm

hurshy

ah but wait my logic is not flawed after all because if BGL has the list, as it sounds like she does, then she would not have asked that unless the first co WERE a 4.

5:27 pm

ls1

tx vicuna

5:27 pm

anders

ap 7/36 (stupid word) ap+opp of yes + anagram of ice

5:28 pm

BGL

Now that we've firgured that co mystery, anyone care to help with the co6/24 that is between the first co and its plural?

5:28 pm

Vicuna

The flaw in the logic, at least for me, is that many a time I have logically gone through every combination, only to find an illogical combination...

5:28 pm

ls1

tx anders

5:28 pm

jeffer

ve 5/16, please?

5:28 pm

Vicuna

Well, BLG, you know the first four letters, and the last two are more vowels.

5:28 pm

Haz1558

Add two vowels to the co4/6

5:29 pm

hurshy

no but vi i went through every combo, even unpronounceable ones

5:29 pm

Anniebrook

thank you, anders

5:29 pm

BGL

That is a dumb word!

5:29 pm

hurshy

seem to be a plethora of dumb words today.

5:29 pm

Hi all! Finished a while ago... will exchange clues for any advice on how to re-insert my space bar back on my laptop! (seriously... it popped off and I can't getit backon)

8:11 pm

abe79

hi jen. sorry about your spacebar

8:12 pm

stidmama

hi Jen!

8:12 pm

stidmama

jen, there should be a couple little metal pieces that will fit into grooves on the back of the key.

8:12 pm

Jen

Just pushing me further toward the buying of a new one abe!! Hi stidmama!

8:12 pm

kristinc

hi Jen...no advice on the spacebar :(...all my brain energies are channeled into trying to monkey out that eu clue!

8:12 pm

Janiece

Good evening, all. Hey Jen - have you tried a hammer? ? ? (Just kidding.....)

8:13 pm

bonkler

jen, i find swearing at inanimate objects vastly useful. otherwise carefulexamination of underside of bar may be in order to divine secrets

8:13 pm

kristinc

got it...thanks stid!

8:13 pm

Jen

I'm tempted Janiece!

8:14 pm

stidmama

or your spacebar has a couple little pieces that come off it and look like hooks. those little hooks will fit into a groove-like place that you can see (if you are in good light), then a nice firm shove on the key will seat it.

8:14 pm

bonkler

deep

8:14 pm

FranMag

jen, i'm missing other keys and have found it easier to just leave them off. probably different with the space bar

8:14 pm

helenkeller

i had to do it, fortunately no problems with probate, but it's not like they leave everything all taken care of - so many headaches just finding their files, dealing with respective insurances, you keep at it, it will only make you stronger (after it saps you completely) :)

10:44 pm

firefly779

Fran is a plethora of help tonight!

10:45 pm

Cathyar

well...that doesn't sound too bad...different from province to province, but sometimes the probate court can really drag things out...i wish you well with it
