12:21 am

leighprefect

Okay....so there's this weed that grew into a tree in our neighbour's back yard, and it is now carrying...something. It almost looks like a lime, but without a waxy coat. And it smells like a lemon, but once you cut into it, it almost has a pine smell to it. But you can't cut it all the way. There's some sort of hard rock-like thing in the middle.

12:21 am

Nef

leigh, :-P

12:21 am

Jacula

2:36 am

tazpink

lol i would unplug it pop the keys off and vlean it

2:37 am

sprite

With water it should be enough to let it dry thoroughly. But with beer you will need cleaning. Like taz here says.

2:37 am

mattygroves

I could try that. Even if I have to pay for a repair, I hope it can BE repaired - I'd hate to have to replace it. *sigh* LOL Taz! I'll remember that next time!

2:37 am

John Prescott reminder ja4/11.

3:00 am

scv

i've never seen anyone so excited about rain!

3:00 am

sprite

Haz, are they the nice cars? Or is there another?

3:01 am

sprite

It's been so very hot here, scv, for a long time. Rain and coolness are like a touch of heaven right now :)

3:01 am

FMitch

We have a lot of drought restrictions at the moment SCV so decent rainfall is very welcome.

3:02 am

Haz1558

Just the nice cars, sprite. John Prescott's nickname is two-ja4/11.

3:02 am

scv

ah, i see

3:02 am

FMitch

Has he still got both of them Haz?

3:02 am

sprite

Ah, thanks Haz, did not know that.
I have: ja x 4, je x 3, jo. Could someone please tell me what I am missing?

3:03 am

mattygroves

Have changed my icon to an appropriate ice cream one...

3:03 am

Susan-Victoria

you

3:03 am

rolin

sprite...you need the girls name je4

3:03 am

Haz1558

I don't know to be honest. Perhaps he and his wife use one each....

3:03 am

Susan-Victoria

you're missing a je, Sprite

3:03 am

sprite

Awwwww... dragon ice!

3:03 am

scv

in the summer i dont really think of rain and coolness together.. just makes the air even heavier here

3:04 am

scv

breaks the heat every now and again but not often!

3:04 am

Susan-Victoria

You're probably missing the name. There was an American bandit named Je**e James

3:04 am

sprite

True! Thanks a lot, rolin en Susan!

3:04 am

sprite

Smart of you two to know which je that was!

3:04 am

rolin

Susan-Victoria

or 6/27?

3:05 am

FMitch

Ah OK understand your weather comments then

3:06 am

scv

when i made the comment originally i forgot to take the very obvious flags next to your names into consideration :)

3:07 am

FMitch

LOL it's easily done

3:08 am

sprite

Humidity and heat are a bad combination indeed. But I think the temperature here dropped with about 10 degrees Celcius here tonight, so with the rain it is pretty nice and much cooler now!

3:08 am

Haz1558

Enable mustn't value those with good oral hygiene. It won't accept fl7, one who likes to fl5/16

3:08 am

sprite

I really really thought 'geis' was a word. Like a solemn promise or a curse or a spell you're under?

3:09 am

Haz1558

But it will take the comparative fl8/55!

3:09 am

Susan-Victoria

Haz, just add an 'i'

3:09 am

FMitch

Ah but if you expand on the 5 Haz you can end up with a 7/40 and an 8/55

3:09 am

sprite

So enable smells from its mouth!

3:11 am

Haz1558

Thanks all. Fl5/16 has been duly used!

3:11 am

sprite

Did you all get the attention-asking unword P4/5? Has been in quite a few grids lately.

3:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, but I wasn't going to tell anyone....

3:12 am

FMitch

yes, the word with no vowels

3:12 am

scv

attention-askin unword?

3:12 am

sprite

I am the sharing kind, I know.

3:13 am

scv

hah! got it.

3:14 am

scv

i was wondering how lickety updates so quickly for the new grids..?

3:16 am

FMitch

Both lickety and brandjack have programmes they have written that generate the stats when they input the grid details.

3:17 am

hydra

Anyone got a clue for the si word please?

3:18 am

sprite

The warlike one?

3:18 am

scv

ohh. i was thinking something along those lines but wasn't sure if it was a sure thing.. whether it would catch every possibility

3:19 am

hydra

Was that my clue, sprite, or were you talking to scv?

3:19 am

sprite

That was yours, hydra :)

3:20 am

hydra

thanks v much, sprite!

3:21 am

Susan-Victoria

I was just typing the very same thing, sprite!

3:22 am

Susan-Victoria

Thank you Sprite!

3:22 am

sprite

Lol, GMTA, hydra ;)

3:22 am

scv

better than what i was doing, something about the movie titled the same

3:23 am

hydra

I don't remember that one, scv. Who was in it?

3:23 am

scv

steven seagal

3:24 am

sprite

scv: that might have worked just as well or better. One can never predict which clues trigger the answer in various persons.

3:25 am

scv

i'm still in my first 24 hours of this babble stuff, not sure what are acceptable clues or what

3:25 am

hydra

No, don't think I saw it. I'm tacking the fe words now.

3:26 am

scv

i've never seen it, either, actually. just popped into my head.

3:26 am

Haz1558

scr - clues can take lots of forms. Cryptic, references to general knowledge, play on words, anagrams, sound-alikes etc. You'll get the idea as you go along.

3:26 am

sprite

Just found a musucal 7/8 combo: So7/48 - 8/65.

3:28 am

hydra

Oh, well done, sprite! I haven't looked for that one yet.

3:29 am

hydra

Got it now. I used to play a piano piece with that title ending in 'ietto'

3:29 am

scv

thanks, haz. good to know! i've got a lot of useless trivia upstairs that might come in handy.

3:29 am

Haz1558

Oh, we LOVE trivia.

3:30 am

sprite

I had a similar memory, hydra.
scv: am looking forward to your trivia!

3:30 am

scv

there should be another So, musical related that isnt there

3:30 am

scv

haha, it comes out at odd times, off the cuff

3:30 am

sydnie

hiya everyone

3:31 am

scv

like that movie title, a film i've never seen or plan to. in fact, i had forgotten about it until that moment.

3:31 am

FMitch

scv, wait till you meet Douglas then and his free clue assosication

3:32 am

sprite

Works for me more often than not, Douglas's free association! :)

3:32 am

Haz1558

Douglas is really funny. He gives out clues but doesn't tell you what words they are for. It works surprisingly often!

3:32 am

Frances

The Douglas clues are sometimes like a flypast - straight over the top!!!

3:33 am

FMitch

He makes me smile and I love some of the stuff he comes out with... and that too Frances

3:33 am

sydnie

HIYA peeps

3:33 am

Yes, Ive found that, too. You can't think what he's talking about, then it suddenly makes sense.

FMitch

WTG scv, see you again Im sure, did anyone warn you this game is really addictive?

3:37 am

sydnie

SPRITE - who told rolin what about me

3:38 am

FMitch

I said that you had been on looking for her sydnie and that some babblers had called you a troll as you were being a pain but then if you are not sydnie then it won't bother you.

3:38 am

Too late for warnings I fear, FMitch. scv will be back :)

About those Or-words: that big wild party has 3 varieties.

3:39 am

sydnie

3:40 am

FMitch

snobocrats, great word!

3:40 am

Haz1558

sprite - I had a sheltered upbringing. How am I supposed to know about variations of wild parties???

3:40 am

sprite

Should have it in a grid someday, I like it.

FMITHCH - what did you say to rolin then

3:45 am

sprite

There is or6/27, or5/16, or6/24.
First one sounds like a dangerous madman ma5. For the 5 leave out one vowel. The last one is plural of the party.

3:46 am

FMitch

Read my post at 3.38 sydnie

3:46 am

Haz1558

Thanks sprite, I've got them now.

3:47 am

3:51 am

FMitch

sprite, Haz :))

3:51 am

Haz1558

FMItch? Deep, steady breathing. Cleansing breaths...

3:51 am

sydnie

oh ok then

3:52 am

boatierra

Something I have noticed with our little flags. Some of the flags are for the UK and some are for England. And I have seen seperate ones for Scotland. I guess depending on where you live you get a choice. I would think if one lives in Northern Ireland, you would get either your own flag, or the UK one. Anyone know?

3:52 am

Haz1558

I know! I live in Northern Ireland, and have opted for the Union Jack. I think it is probably possible to opt for the Irish flag if you wanted.

3:53 am

sprite

And if the yoga does not help, try beating someone up, FMitch ;)

3:53 am

Haz1558

By the way, the Union Jack is the official flag of Northern Ireland since it is part of the United Kingdom.

3:53 am

sydnie

and this is what the chat log comes to flags !!! lol

3:54 am

FMitch

LOL 5 mins and I have to run some errands so that will suffice or maybe I will email Dr_G before I go

3:54 am

sydnie

gaje

3:54 am

Frances

sydnie
Better than having a go at people

3:54 am

sprite

Not a bad idea, FMitch!

3:54 am

Frances

Ten more minutes and then I'm off to cricket. Three matches this week

3:55 am

boatierra

Haz1558 - Thank. I knew about the Union Jack for all of the UK. I just think its so cool you can pick the flag you want for your area of the world. Kinda wish those of us in the US could use the flag for our states. But I guess that would be a bit much.

3:55 am

sydnie

yeah i spose so and if your sayin im havin a go at people thats just sad cause i dont !

3:55 am

Haz1558

We would get horribly confused with all the state flags! But I know what you mean. The US is so big and individual states have quite different 'personalities'.

3:56 am

Haz1558

France - scoring, playing or spectating at cricket?

3:56 am

sprite

I would welcome the chance to learn those different state flags, actually.

3:56 am

boatierra

Haz1558 - What part of N. Ireland are you in?

3:56 am

Frances

I love the different birds and flowers for each state

3:57 am

Frances

Haz
Scoring

3:57 am

Haz1558

I'm in County Antrim, boatierra, 30 miles north of Belfast.

3:57 am

sydnie

this is gettin boring now im goin back to bed bye bye everyone

3:58 am

boatierra

Well, the one in Arizona, would be a big star in the middle, with the lower half of the flag in blue, and the upper half being rays of yellow and red, like the rays of sunshine. Its quite nice :)

3:58 am

sprite

It would be nice to have those flags, I agree, boatierra. And see what just talking about flags does for people :)

3:58 am

Haz1558

Maybe it could be worked that you could have the stars and stripes so we knew you were from the States, and then have the state flag alongside. It would be educational!

3:59 am

FMitch

Maybe that could be an icon theme for a day for all in the US

3:59 am

sprite

I love Haz's idea!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Good idea, FMitch.

3:59 am

sydnie

bye bye i goin bed to sleep this is borin me now

4:00 am

boatierra

That's exactly what I was thinking!! But then again, I thought it would be a bit much. But I like the fact I can place my curser on the flag and it tells me what country it is. Thj'

4:00 am

sprite

The power of flags is amazing.

4:00 am

Haz1558

But will Dr God like the idea? Maybe FMitch, as 'The Administrator' could put the suggestion to him.

4:01 am

sprite

It'd better be someone he will listen to then. I don't know, maybe he will like the idea.

4:01 am

boatierra

I love flags. I have a key chain flag from each country I've been to on my backpack. Mexico, Espana, Singapore, and Brazil.

4:02 am

sprite

Fireworks!

4:02 am

before i go why is everyone talkin about FLAGS how low iz dat bye bye goin back 2 bed

4:02 am

Wow, that was fast. Nice work Sprite.

You traveled those countries on foot, boatierra? Great!

4:02 am

FMitch

Wow sprite WTG

4:03 am

Haz1558

Do you suppose flag talk would bore all teenagers back to bed? Could this be a tactic to be used when the textspeak gets too much?

4:03 am

boatierra

Well is by foot you mean via plane, sure!! ;)

4:03 am

Haz1558

Congratulations sprite!

4:03 am

jean1953

rofl good point haz

4:04 am

boatierra

No doubt Haz1558 lol

4:04 am

FMitch

LOL Haz good thinking although it appears to work for pre teens too.

4:04 am

sprite

That's what I mean about the power of flags, haz!
Boatierra: first by plane and then walking with the bagpack, I meant?

4:04 am

boatierra

So, FMitch, you are an administrator on this site? What does that entail?

4:04 am

boatierra

sprite - Sure :)

4:05 am

Frances

Fmitch, I'm sorry! I am laughing so hard about the mix-up. Do you want to explain if you're still there?

4:07 am

boatierra

Ah, got it ;)

4:07 am

Haz1558

Dippnall - yes, I've heard the teenagers can only stomach so much Beethoven before they have to move on!

4:08 am

sprite

Flags and classical music... who'd have thought they could be weapons, lol.
Any clues needed before I split?

4:09 am

sprite

Dippnall: what's a chippy?

4:09 am

boatierra

OK, so I know that the Union Jack is used for the monikers UK, English, and Britian . So, why on here if one chooses to have the England flag, is it white with the red cross? I've never seen that one before.

4:10 am

boatierra

I meant UK, England, and Britian. Oops.

4:10 am

Angb

Back from dinner now. any clues for eg 6/24 sprite?

4:11 am

boatierra

Thanks for the conversation.

4:11 am

Haz1558

UK consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Union Jack is a combination of three of the country's flags. The English flag is that of St George, and is also featured in the Union Jack.

4:11 am

sprite

Ah, the first one. Let me think of a clue.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch. See you later.

4:12 am

Angb

I had got the most of that part word earlier and was looking for the re-!!!! LOL

4:12 am

LOL, no, the last one, and that was what the clue was for. I need to learn to read!

4:12 am

Angb

Thanks sprite.

4:12 am

yw :)

4:12 am

sprite

Bye FMitch!

4:13 am

boatierra

Ohh, did not know that about the St. George flag. I knew the flag represented all those areas together, but i did not know that the flag design itself was/is a combination of the three country's flags. Good to know.

4:14 am

Haz1558

I can hear sydnie snoring peacefully.

4:14 am

sprite

Learned a lot about flags today and as opposite to one chatter today I found it very interesting. It would be great to have the states' flags as well.
Got to go, have a nice day/night/whatever all of you and happy hunting.

4:14 am

4:14 am

The night as hot and black as ink
I'm thankful for cool cool rain today in Minnesota

4:28 am

SueMagee

My garden is breathing a sigh of relief.

4:28 am

Biltong

It is meat (mostly beef) that is spiced, dried and cured, then eaten as a snack. Much like American jerky? When you go to Kenya you will no doubt come across it. They also do it with ostrich and venison.

4:28 am

jean1953

am off loads of cakes to make bbl have good day everyone:)

4:28 am

SueMagee

Bye Jean.

4:29 am

Biltong

Hence the name. Really just a little South Africanism. Ha Ha

4:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, I've heard of jerky though I've never tried it. It will be interesting to try out some new foods in Kenya.

4:29 am

You are in RSA, Biltong? I spent a summer in Stellenbosch in 1970...

4:31 am

Biltong

Thanks, SueM. I love him to bits. Sadly I had to leave him with my daughter in SA.

4:32 am

SueMagee

Oh, I'd be bere4/7 if I had to leave my dogs. I've got a couple of Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

4:34 am

Biltong

It broke my heart and I miss him dreadfully. But I know he is getting lots of love and being well looked after. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are gorgeous. We had one way back in 1976.

Angb

Oops, just remembered where I heard those words. Something to do with horses isn't it?

5:36 am

Angb

Big brown hairy snorty things they are too. Sorry if there are any horse lovers.

5:36 am

rolin

PappouTed

5:43 am

rolin

SueMagee

Ach, it was me said raspberries and it is, of course, strawberries. I never was good at French.

5:45 am

Angb

Thnx lynxxx. Had to google it in the end!

5:46 am

5:51 am

Angb

5:53 am

rolin

6:00 am

Angb

6:02 am

Haz1558

6:03 am

Angb

6:04 am

Haz1558

The or6/27 adds a vowel just before the end of the or5/16

6:04 am

amandacath

rolin - one who is crazed for the 6/24

6:04 am

rolin

6:13 am

Haz1558

6:15 am

lynxxx

6:15 am

rolin

9:48 am

ch1212

Thank you for that, FMitch -- it doesn't seem like I've been here only since last October, because I feel like I've been here a lot longer... that's a good reflection on our babbler community - feels like home.

9:48 am

Now that we have that settled...hope my tummy settles soon...diving down into the grid to finish up...glub, glub

9:55 am

ch1212

see you when you come up for air, liz!

9:56 am

Vicuna

Hetty, if you choose something very rectangular, it always gets squozen into a square.

9:56 am

FMitch

Don't drink the water lizb!!!

9:56 am

hetty

and I don't know what "fractal" means, it being a cybernetic and not a literary term---

9:57 am

ch1212

It's a mathmatically generated pattern, Miss Hetty -- the patterns are generally quite beautiful

9:57 am

ch1212

And if I understand, each one is unique

9:57 am

hetty

Thanks, Vicuna, that helps. Now all I have to do is avoid rectangular images;thanks ch1212 for the info

9:59 am

hetty

I've submitted another image,but it hasn't come up yet. Seems I'm to be either squozen or eliminated

10:00 am

ch1212

you have to refresh, Miss Hetty, by hitting your F5 key

10:00 am

hetty

So no sundae for me today.

10:00 am

hetty

and refreshng doesn't change a thing--so far

10:01 am

lizbethem

What a surprise...my brain isn't functioning correctly! I'll try again later. bye

10:02 am

ch1212

doesn't for me either... so you went to the My Account, clicked on 'edit' under your current icon photo, then clicked on 'browse' (if new icon is saved as a file on your computer, otherwise clicked on the other button if new icon is something you found on the internet) and then selected the photo, then clicked on Upload?

10:03 am

ch1212

(And if you followed all that I will bow down to you! :)

10:03 am

hetty

Bye, liz. Try a catnap.

10:04 am

hetty

Yup, ch1212, that's exactly what I did. So bow bow,ye lower middle classes

10:04 am

ch1212

I bow to Miss Hetty willingly!

10:04 am

hetty

I hope you realize I

10:04 am

ch1212

All Hail Miss Hetty!

10:05 am

FMitch

Sorry got caught up by a phone call - ch1212 totally right re fractal.

Hetty I find sometimes once I have uploaded a new icon I have to refresh F5 twice before it takes.

10:05 am

hetty

I hope you realize I'm quoting W.S.Gilbert--I don't have any truck with classes myself

10:06 am

ch1212

I knew that about you Miss Hetty :)

10:06 am

hetty

Thanks FMItch. I'll be patient.

10:10 am

hetty

Welcome Haz. I've missed you lately--no one quite so accommodating to have adventures with

10:10 am

rolin

back for the fina push...does anyone have the po7/40?

10:10 am

StephieC

good morning all! I have a word that is in my word list twice. Will that count for the word total, or should I try to find one more?

10:11 am

Byzantine

10:11 am

FMitch

Afternoon Haz

10:11 am

rolin

hey oggy...theres some interesting' words

10:11 am

Haz1558

Hello hetty and ch1212 and FMitch and all. I've been very busy over the past week or two, hetty, but am ready for more adventures!

10:13 am

Haz1558

Mind you, I still have 61 left to find myself, although probably not at this sitting. I have some errands to run but couldn't resist popping in. You all know how it is.

10:13 am

rolin

oooh phantom word..prosaic

10:14 am

seano216k

i have needed 6 for about an hour now....cant get going again :-(

10:14 am

hetty

Indeed I do. How about the tr's...have you reached those devils yet?

10:15 am

Haz1558

Ony one hairy tr do I have, hetty.

10:15 am

FMitch

Has to be done Haz :)

10:16 am

hetty

Should be a troll, but that's not there. Nor is a trojan. Oh dearie me.

10:17 am

Haz1558

Good grief, remove the s from the tantrum and you have a tr4/5

10:18 am

FMitch

Haz - add a vowel at the end and then pl too

10:18 am

hetty

Tantrum--?

10:18 am

Haz1558

st5/12 hetty.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Thanks FMitch!

10:18 am

FMitch

yw Haz

10:19 am

brandyjack

i've never heard it called a tanrtum, but I have heard of a leather st5/12 used to sharpen a straight razor....

10:19 am

hetty

ooo, I have st5/12, both of them, second works!

10:19 am

ch1212

That's what I thought it meant, BJ. Tantrum is an interesting word for it too

10:19 am

ch1212

Did you get fireworks, Miss Hetty?

10:20 am

Haz1558

Ah, the wonders of the English language! Is the tantrum a British word then?

10:20 am

FMitch

Ah that is a good alt clue BJ, the tantrum version is definately used for what youngesters do.

10:21 am

ch1212

Haz, the dictionary says it comes from Middle English, and is the strap BJ was talking about

10:21 am

Haz1558

The adjective form usually has a teenager attached.

10:21 am

hetty

AS one born and bred inEngland I have to say that as synonym for tantrum I know it not--only as leather what brandyjack said

10:21 am

brandyjack

leather belt and teenagers. Hmmmmmm......

10:22 am

hetty

but I do know the adjectival slang term (as applied often to teenagers)

10:22 am

ch1212

And the word Haz was saying to drop the 's' with has interesting definitions too: A figure of speech using words in nonliteral ways, such as a metaphor.
A word or phrase interpolated as an embellishment in the sung parts of certain medieval liturgies.

10:23 am

hetty

ch121, I'm a long way from fireworks--only jus started and am working backwards just for fun

10:24 am

harpjane

hello, could I get a clue for the gr6/30, gr7/44 combo? At least I'm assuming they are related!

10:24 am

hetty

ooh ch1212 that tr word is a literary term! No probs there

10:24 am

Haz1558

That's interesting - it's given in my dictionary as a colloquialism for bad temper.

10:24 am

ch1212

ah, and that would explain the reference to adolescents! :)

10:25 am

Haz1558

Exactly!

10:26 am

ch1212

I have 16 to go and a lot to get done today, so I'm going to be off hunting. Have fun all!

10:26 am

FMitch

Bye ch1212!!

10:27 am

Haz1558

gr6/30 - think of a colour beginning with b, a sandy fawn hue. Use the last letters of it and attach it to gr, then pluralise for the 7.

10:27 am

hetty

and I've found another tr5--in order to st*** a teenager, just grab him/her by the tr***es!

10:27 am

Haz1558

Bye ch1212. Have a good day.

10:29 am

hetty

Teenagers usually have long ones

10:29 am

harpjane

whoa. Thanks. I must admit I don't know that word.

10:29 am

Jaime

thanks, haz, for the gr6/30. It' took me a minute, but that was really helpful!

10:29 am

Haz1558

Glad to help Jaime.

10:30 am

Jaime

10:33 am

FMitch

Found todays fish and understand a clue from a long time ago in the log. Gershwin musical po7/40 & Bess but the po has been extended and pl

10:33 am

Haz1558

so7/48 - a musical term. If you have the dental string, reverse the first four letters. Then add the first two letters of what a hen lays, followed by a vowel. The seven is the plural.

10:34 am

Jaime

my goodness! I don't know how you find these, Haz.

10:34 am

Haz1558

It was clued earlier on Jaime, though in a different way.

10:34 am

hetty

dental string-?

10:35 am

Jaime

for your gum health, hetty.

10:35 am

Jaime

fl words

10:35 am

10:40 am

SeaDove

there were 3 vowel choices.

10:40 am

hetty

OOPs! found the third vowel! thanks

10:41 am

Haz1558

os5 - add the ending of a four letter continent

10:41 am

harpjane

10:41 am

SeaDove

I personally think someone isjust sitting around making up strange words to confuse us!

10:42 am

harpjane

still waiting for an os5 clue, or do I have to threaten to hurt the puppy?

10:42 am

Haz1558

harpjane, see my post at 10.41

10:42 am

Jaime

harpjane, Haz clued you.

10:43 am

Haz1558

Don't hurt the puppy!

10:43 am

Deeha

what a threat I must remember that one!!

10:44 am

harpjane

oh, that's good. (I actually don't even HAVE a puppy, you know.)

10:44 am

harpjane

10:44 am

10:44 am

brandyjack

10:45 am

Haz1558

Well then, welcome back all those who were zapped.

10:46 am

Jaime

10:46 am

Haz1558

And now I must go to get those errands done. By the way, I have put more vet stories up on BabAnon. See you later!

10:46 am

harpjane

10:46 am

10:49 am

SeaDove

more than one singer from the rolling stones

10:49 am

SeaDove

ja6 that is.

10:49 am

StephieC

ja6 - builds off the ja4/11. Don't double the consonant though

10:50 am

GraceM

thsi must be a diff ja6...

10:50 am

onyx

ja 6 39 a kind of saa bird alternate spelling of the rolling stone j

10:51 am

brandyjack

there are two ja6's very similar, one is rooted by the ja4, the other has an extra vowel tossed into the mix..

10:51 am

GraceM

got it!

10:52 am

GraceM

10:53 am

Munner

Isn't fresia a word?

10:56 am

onyx

boy i feel old today

10:56 am

EspritdJean

freesia

10:56 am

Munner

That looks better.

10:56 am

Jacula

ag6/24 & plural ag7/36 - if you specify how old someone should be to do something you might be this. Kind of anti old people.

10:56 am

Jaime

sure! take the 3 letter word that represents how old you are and add the last 3 letters of the joint between your hand and your arm.

10:56 am

stidmama

hello Kenny Chuck! usual for you to be on this time of day...

Hi StidMama.

10:57 am

Jaime

the last 2 ag words are the same as the first 2 without the third vowel.

10:57 am

Kenny Chuck

Hi Stidmama. Yeah a bit early for me. Actually at home today thanks to a bout of food poisoning

10:57 am

ch1212

okay, this is driving me batty. Clue please for the re5/10 that is either the second or third? (I have to put something down again, and the plural of not working...) thanks

10:57 am

stidmama

oh no! I hope you are feeling better soon. I really don't like digestive upsets...

10:57 am

brandyjack

I saw that clue last night, now I understand it.....

10:58 am

Jaime

did you get them, brandyjack?

10:58 am

Kenny Chuck

ch1212 - how about the word for something old that is in-vogue again? Something from the 30's or 50's or with a look that emulates that period might be called re***.

10:59 am

Kenny Chuck

Me, either. The worst. Looked in the yellow pages for a gastro-intestinal exorcist. None, to my surprise, exists. Bet they would do a bang-up job, money-wise.

10:59 am

Kenny Chuck

Me, either. The worst. Looked in the yellow pages for a gastro-intestinal exorcist. None, to my surprise, exists. Bet they would do a bang-up job, money-wise.

10:59 am

Kenny Chuck

Me, either. The worst. Looked in the yellow pages for a gastro-intestinal exorcist. None, to my surprise, exists. Bet they would do a bang-up job, money-wise.

10:59 am

ch1212

Kenny Chuck you are wonderful! Great clue -- got it, thanks!

11:00 am

brandyjack

Jaime, yes, your clue was lucid enough even for me.... Thanks.

11:01 am

stidmama

well Kenny -- you probably already know this, but black tea can be very soothing in things like this -- decaf works, too. Wait for things like peppermint tea or juices until your system has settled down a bit.

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone! :)

11:02 am

Jaime

can anyone help with ae words or eg words?

11:02 am

Chamomille is supposed to be good too. Hi Temple Owl, stid and everyone. And bye again -- I'm off to run errands.

11:02 am

stidmama

and of course, bananas, rice and apples are the other part of the formula, also once your system has settled a bit. *offers cup of warm tea to Kenny*

11:02 am

stidmama

11:03 am

stidmama

hi TempleOwl!

11:03 am

Smart woman, your wife! I hadn't ever thought of that, but it sounds like it would be ideal.

11:04 am

stidmama

well so much for racing you Kenny, I have 82 remaining

11:04 am

Both. The 6/27 relates to the wild romps. OR+ that model who OD'd that Angelina Jolie played a few years back + letter in the upper left. The 5/16 is the same, but leave out the last vowel.

12:36 pm

brandyjack

serger is a word, but it's not in the puzzle....

12:36 pm

12:37 pm

Biltong

Hi, I'm back for a third attempt

12:37 pm

12:37 pm

stidmama

thanks stephie!

12:37 pm

stidmama

thanks stephie!

12:37 pm

brandyjack

I hate these twisty words....... I guess serger is too new a word to be in ENABLE. It's only in the last few years that sergers have been made... Not old enough...

12:38 pm

caitlyn

Fireworks!!!
Brandyjack is that you on your icon?

12:38 pm

Aloyisius

egads, how OLD do you suppose it has to be?

12:38 pm

stidmama

and perhaps they are a proper noun, BJ? what I hate are the stutters in the matrix that trick me into hitting "enter" twice...

12:39 pm

stidmama

and perhaps they are a proper noun, BJ? what I hate are the stutters in the matrix that trick me into hitting "enter" twice...

12:39 pm

Aloyisius

YAY caitlyn!

12:39 pm

Biltong

Congrats, caitlyn

12:39 pm

brandyjack

sergers have only been made for 10 years.... and Stidmama may be correct. Serger might be a trademark as it is a specialised machine.

12:39 pm

ShadeEagle

help with the last ge 6/24?

12:39 pm

ShadeEagle

...wait, that should be eg 6/24.

12:40 pm

12:42 pm

phandmd

I need the 1st 2 ag words

12:42 pm

Aloyisius

stid, I obviously need some iced tea... bbl

12:42 pm

ShadeEagle

...the exit one?

12:42 pm

brandyjack

they are like the last two but with an extra vowel in the middle....

12:42 pm

stidmama

the first two AG are a person who thinks a person's year of birth matters, and plural that...

12:42 pm

brandyjack

eg6/24, to walk up the stairs and out the door is a mode of eg****

12:43 pm

Vicuna

ag6/24 - someone who discriminates based on how old someone is, alt spelling

12:43 pm

12:44 pm

ladynoire1013

I'm trying to be good and not use the list, but its getting harder

12:44 pm

StephieC

stidmama

12:46 pm

bubba218

12:46 pm

caitlyn

Yeah foe FMitch
Have an asprin?

12:46 pm

Vicuna

Stephie, someone who discrimites by race is a rac---, someone who discriminates on sex is a sex---, someone who discriminates on age is an ag---- (spell with and without the e)

12:47 pm

stidmama

12:47 pm

FMitch

12:47 pm

ShadeEagle

12:47 pm

StephieC

DUH!! Thanks y'all!!

12:48 pm

Vicuna

(or even "wrong.")

12:48 pm

1:26 pm

StephieC

take out the p and change the spelling

1:26 pm

nrkii

hi chj

1:26 pm

brandyjack

you would normally think to expand the 5 to a 6 using the sometimes vowel, but expand it to 7 instead, and then expand it agin to make it more so...

1:27 pm

chj

hi nrk

1:27 pm

hurshy

ok which is more obscure, anj's clue or a bobbsey twin?

al, i see that youre a bird nerd..i was at my sisters the other day sittin on her back porch watching all the action at the birdfeeder and saw what i thought might be a female oriole..it was brownish with what i thought was some orange on the wings and a short bright bright triangular orange beak..i tried to look it up in a field guide but couldn't find any orioles with bright orange beaks..the only thing i can figure is that i mistook red for orange and that it was a female cardinal..any ideas

3:08 pm

Buttonman

anyone have a clue for the second ar 4/4?

3:08 pm

Vicuna

Yes, I lurked for months and months when I started playing, too. I have no idea what your question about CT means, so I guess the answer is probably "no"???

3:08 pm

Wolvie

cooks talk - fine cooking?

3:08 pm

Vicuna

second ar4/4 is Greek god of war

3:09 pm

ladynoire1013

3:09 pm

Krista

3:09 pm

hetty

3:09 pm

Wolvie

3:10 pm

Krista

feels worse, though!

3:10 pm

Vicuna

3:10 pm

I have a wicked pain in my back when I move the wrong way. It takes my breath away. It's in the upper right side, which is also where I broke the ends off 5 vertebrae. So, I'm not sure if it's my gallbladder or my youthful adventures haunting me.

The three girls in the middle were all, at the time of our story, in the upper class, and their younger brother was just about to begin the middle class. The youngest sister was in the beginning class, where she often listened to the very youngest students read and helped them learn their songs.

The tall, willowy sister was able to recite nearly anything she had ever read or heard. The comfortable sister with the green eyes could draw pictures of anything and remember exactly where in a book she had read something. And the sister who was going through the awkward stage not only had a mind for numbers, but a sense of humor that often distracted the other students.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

Betty, plural of the magicians magic word for pr7

9:36 pm

Their younger brother liked the days they were there, because he got to wait for them after school, and look through as many books as he pleased. And their youngest sister liked the days they worked there, because they would bring home books to read to her.

Other days, they would stop at their grandparents' to visit and have some delicacy the grandmother "just happened" to take out of the oven as they arrived. They would listen to the grandfather tell tales, and the boy would help with the animals or the yard while the girl sat with her aunt and grandmother and learned all the stories by heart.

And the grandfather and her brother had made a wonderful wooden board with raised lines, on which she could lay a piece of paper and write. A special crayon of thickened beeswax let her feel where she was writing. Her letters were a little wobbly still, but she was quick and determined.

Often, late at night, the grandparents would sit out on the porch (in the summer) or by the fire (in the winter) and talk about all the things they wished for all their grandchildren. Good health, loving families, enough to eat, and just enough excitement to keep things interesting.

10:23 pm

hetty

ronnelee., did you get my clue?

10:23 pm

jillibus

Put a pat of butter in a teflon pan and fry the salted sole of a few seconds each side on medium. Put on the warm plate you've had sitting on the toster oven.

10:24 pm

Can you tell me Riemann, what has happened to my favourite fish, hake?

10:25 pm

ronnielee

I am at 186 still showing that I am missing an GE 5/14, it has to be after the romantic verse & before the the GE 4/6?

10:25 pm

jillibus

Put some more buter in the pan and let it bubble. Add a squeeze of lemon and the toasted almonds. Pour this over the sole.

10:26 pm

hetty

Then I say again I guess it should be ge***--2 snakes and a fourth vowel

10:26 pm

abe79

i'm missing the same one ronnielee. i cannot get it...

10:26 pm

riemann

there's two spellings for the romantic verse. pluralize the correct one.

10:26 pm

hetty

abe you too--I GUESS SO

10:27 pm

another suggestion: there's an eg6/24. Drop the first letter and you have g5/14.

10:27 pm

hetty

10:28 pm

ronnielee

I have that one hetty, licketys list shows in this order: GE 4/6; 4/7; 5/14 ( I have); 4/6; then (2) 5/14's & finally a 4/6.

I had baby potatoes (10 minutes simmering) and sugar sanp (mange-tout) peas done in the microwave with this, and a split of Henckel Trocken ("champagne"). Then fresh rasperries with plain yogourt for dessert, and made it all in half an hour to stid's storytime (well, almost made it)

10:29 pm

mirandapan

Thanks, Abe--I have the exit one--It must be the middle eg's 6.24 & 4,6? I think I'm doing something wrong???

10:36 pm

hetty

then gr6/3 and its plural gr7/44 are based on a sany colour--change from "b" to "gr"

10:36 pm

hetty

that should be sandy colour--like midway between cream and tan

10:37 pm

Millerhead

leigh, I must tell you a little story. When I was 8 I went from a Brit school in Shanghai where we had prefects to an American school in NY and was put in 3rd grade, which was way behing what I had been doing at the Brit school, but fun. One day our teacher asked us if we knew any words beginning with "pre". Msny were given, and then she asked if anyone had another. After some thinking I stuck my eager hand up and said "prefect". No, she said, there's no such word -- you mean "perfect". I was stunned.

10:55 pm

jillibus

Sorry about the typos -- nobody's perfect!

10:55 pm

leighprefect

Jill- Too bad you can't go back and laugh in her face. At least you're smart enough to know better.

actually, when the us tennis open moved from forst hills to flushing, they took the singer bowl from the worlds fair.. it was a long oblong shaped stadium, and they put a squarish stadium over one end and the other end was the grandstands. You could walk through a passageway from one to the other and watch two great matches. AI think its still used altho they built an even larger stadium, arthur ashe stadium, for the main matches
