10:06 am

Flask1

10:07 am

amandacath

10:07 am

hetty

Good Sunday morning all. I've just writte a long email to Stid and feel buoyed up by the thought I might meet her soon. How's the grid today?

10:08 am

Haz1558

Hello hetty - some nice words so far.

10:09 am

hetty

And I'm keeping my 4 lighthouse icon a bit longer in honour of my children, who are the colours in my life

10:09 am

JeeWhiz

Flask, don't feel bad, I am stuck on the same word.

10:09 am

movieman

Amanda - wot does the 8 begin with?

10:10 am

Flask1

thanks for that Jee.....am just gonna leave just now...and carry on elsewhere....lol

10:11 am

amandacath

and to get the ugly 7-8 combos out of the way: for both, the root is non-base(s), one is prefixed "single", one is prefixed "for every"

10:11 am

JeeWhiz

It is frustrating when you think that you should be getting it, but just can't see it.

10:11 am

Flask1

Oh, tell me about it!

10:11 am

Flask1

Gets me down sometimes!!

10:12 am

JeeWhiz

Yeah, but don't forget to have fun while you are playing....Keep trying:)

10:12 am

amandacath

the 8 begins with r, MM. For the an6, there is a cath*** and an an***, then make it an adjective

10:13 am

Flask1

Oh I do Jee.....I love words!

10:14 am

emusing

i am having trouble with the an6 too...

10:15 am

Dorens

10:15 am

movieman

Still having problems with that 8, amanda, what's the alpha/numeric value plz?

10:15 am

JeeWhiz

an + round vowel + short name for Richard

10:15 am

emusing

i am not sure if the cath*** is a religion or a medical thing

10:16 am

amandacath

Flask1

Jee if you were closer I would kiss you!!!!.....THANKS!!!..and thankyou Amanda for your patience!

10:17 am

brandyjack

10:17 am

Dorens

10:17 am

JeeWhiz

periwinkle

I agree, Haz

11:13 am

JeeWhiz

flask, ca6/24 is the woman's name that has fruit on her head.

11:13 am

Aloyisius

you're 10 ahead of me, FMitch.. but I'm chugging along as long as I don't get disconnected again..

11:13 am

11:13 am

emusing

me, too, haz

11:13 am

Haz1558

ca6/21 - mode of transport plus what fishermen use to catch fish, or what Ena Sharples wore permanently

11:13 am

11:17 am

hetty

ch1212

speaking of the prefix 'pre' meaning before, I just asked my beloved to explain why the word 'present' means NOW and not 'before', and for that matter, the word 'present' (to present something) is also NOW. He explained the latter from the Latin 'scind' (understanding) but not the one meaning here and now. Any takers? I'm just puzzled...

3:50 pm

sorry - again

3:54 pm

Atalante

present (adj.) Look up present at Dictionary.com
c.1303, "existing at the time," from O.Fr. present (11c.), from L. prÃ¦sentem (nom. prÃ¦sens) "present, immediate, prompt," from prp. of prÃ¦esse "be before (someone or something), be at hand," from prÃ¦- "before" + esse "to be." Meaning "being there" is from 1340. As a grammatical tense, recorded from 1388. Presently is c.1380 as "immediately," but by 1566 it had relaxed into "sooner or later." Present-day "contemporary" is attested from 1887.

3:55 pm

debbinla

can anyone clue the re6/21 ?

3:55 pm

hetty

I had just taken down my Oxford and found that same entry, Atalante .Snap!

3:55 pm

Atalante

great minds think alike :D

3:55 pm

evanonut

good day folks!

3:55 pm

mo

ko5/18 and kr5/20 anyone please?

3:56 pm

ch1212

AHHH... Atalante, that makes sense -- the 'prae' as 'to be.' And it's latin in origin! I shall give my darling husband a bit of a bad time because he studied Latin quite extensively. Thank-you!!

RE 6.21 - reweave a chair seat

3:56 pm

hetty

ch12--wanted you to know I tried, but you know how speed and I do not agree.

3:56 pm

debbinla

hiya evan

3:56 pm

Atalante

yes - its a rather nice etymology, isn't it!!

3:56 pm

evanonut

hey debbin

3:57 pm

ch1212

{{{ Miss Hetty }}} and to you too atalante -- thanks again!

3:58 pm

bonkler

now if only i knew how to weave a chair seat lol

3:58 pm

hetty

but ch12, "prae" means
"before", not "be". . . simplified in modern spelling to "pre"

3:58 pm

ch1212

I shall re-read Atalante's search and look it up too. Thank-you for the correction! :)

3:59 pm

Atalante

I got it from here - I love this site: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?te
rm=present

3:59 pm

stidmama

bonkler -- the thin strips in a woven chair are known by the same word as the striped things children eat around the holidays... candy ca**s

3:59 pm

hetty

and in my experience one has to be careful about correcting husbands. When we were i school way back before the flood we had to answer "Present!" to roll call

3:59 pm

bonkler

thanks, look at me learning on my day off!

4:00 pm

hetty

rather like presenting arms, don't you think?

4:00 pm

ch1212

:D Oh Miss Hetty, your comment is priceless and so true! And I do remember saying 'present' in school.

4:01 pm

stidmama

*grins at bonkler* and why are you inside on this lovely blue-sky day? I am about to head out... watch me closing the laptop....
walking away....
out the door...

will you miss me while I'm gone? LOL

4:04 pm

thanks debb, feel kind of hung over and thick in the head.

4:04 pm

ch1212

Oh, it's mo + high scoring letter + 2nd vowel

4:04 pm

JeeWhiz

hetty is it the word that arises from a cigarette, minus the initial s?

4:05 pm

ch1212

mo 4/9 - means dull person or an old horse

4:06 pm

hetty

oh bonk, I'm sorry about your discomfort. Someone should have a special sac to toss babblers in when they are sik--or is that a cultural idiosyncracy?

4:07 pm

hetty

All I can think of ch12 is "nag" (I'm good at it)--maybe if i monkey for a while--

4:07 pm

stidmama

you're right ch, still here... bonkler, may you be better soon. Don't babble so much you get a relapse... now I really am going. *poof*

4:07 pm

stidmama

really check the "who's online..."

4:07 pm

bonkler

yup i'm off for a snooze. have fun all.

4:08 pm

ch1212

4:13 pm

hetty

ko5/18 looks like that coutry that just let off miiles (north) but the closing 2 vowels are first and third

4:14 pm

hetty

that should be missiles--even my fingers hate the word

4:14 pm

ch1212

the ko 5/20 is like "into your house we will cr*** but change the first letter.
Thanks, Miss Hetty!

4:15 pm

hetty

kr5/20 is an undesirable person-- a "cr***" with his initial letter changed to "k"

6:14 pm

ch1212

Superb clue dorens!!

6:14 pm

Jacula

ch - Juliet's fella.

6:14 pm

Dorens

after all your wonderful clues, ch, I'm glad to oblige

6:14 pm

ch1212

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!

Okay. I'll be quiet now. :)

6:14 pm

Dorens

lol

6:14 pm

Jacula

Carry on ch! I love that play.

6:15 pm

Jacula

"T'was the nightingale and not the lark that pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear..."

6:15 pm

ch1212

For some unknown reason I memorized both parts of the balcony scene when I was in Junior High, and it has stayed with me ever since.

6:16 pm

ch1212

Why Jacula! I'm so impressed!

6:16 pm

Jacula

Ch - I did what you did, re the memorising. LOL.

6:16 pm

ch1212

LOL!

6:17 pm

hetty

Believe me love,it was the nigtingale

6:18 pm

ch1212

(laughing) Oh Miss Hetty, I completely believe that you would have it memorized too, with your background!

6:18 pm

Dorens

if my daughter goes out to a bar, and they have to ask for her id twice, does that not mean that they must reca** her?

6:18 pm

hetty

and Juliet would spell it correctly. Please someone, have you noticed a double enry in Lickety's list for the pe4/6? At least I THINK that must explain my problem--

6:19 pm

Dorens

and why is that not a word? because I need the second re 6/24 and it would fit perfectly there

6:19 pm

nrkii

for that matter, if Noah had found dry land and gotten all the animals off the boat, and then the waters had risen, wouldn't he have had to re*** them?

6:19 pm

ch1212

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return ...

6:19 pm

nrkii

dorens = re****acle (like a trash basket or an inbox)

6:19 pm

ch1212

And as I mentioned before, if I decide to change my floor coverings, why is re + ca 6/24 not a word?

6:19 pm

Jacula

"It was the lark, the herald of the morn..."

6:19 pm

Dorens

no, hetty there are two pe 4/5's in a row...which do you have?

6:19 pm

Jacula

Oh, this IS fun!:-))

6:20 pm

Dorens

ahhhhhh nrkii solves the problem...thanks

6:20 pm

hetty

Did yiou know that many of the words given to Julkt in the Folio are also given to Cleopatra vis-a-vis Antony?

6:20 pm

ch1212

Oh, speak again, bright angel! for thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven :D

6:20 pm

nrkii

I still say it's a good thing for Noah he didn't have to re*** all those animals!

6:21 pm

hetty

Thanks Dorens. I have the plural of first syllable of pe*ant

6:21 pm

Jacula

Hetty - No, I didn't. I should do though, since I studied one for 'O' level and the other for 'A' level.

6:21 pm

ch1212

Really, Miss Hetty? I did not realize that. What a wonderful piece of Shakespearean trivia

6:21 pm

Dorens

re + ca6/24 most definitely IS a word-in real life

6:21 pm

Dorens

let me pe** at my list and see,hetty

6:21 pm

ch1212
