1:14 am

jillibus

Hello Sue - how do you like the size of this one!

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

1:16 am

helenkeller

good nite melon

1:16 am

SueMagee

Night, Melon.

1:17 am

melonheadjujube

ls 1 - you are my friend - ALW is the very model of a modern insipid tunesmith.

1:17 am

ls1

ruination of american theatre!

1:18 am

helenkeller

i agree too

1:18 am

melonheadjujube

i was supposed to see Pajama Game - unfortunately my train was 2 hours late :( - now THAT's a musical.

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

OK - a memory before i go. Years ago, Clevland Opera finished its season with a musical. One year we did "My Fair Lady" - we got costumes from the Warner Bros movie - our conductor was Franz Allers, who conducted the original production! What a treat - I especially remember him working magic with "I Could Have Danced All Night".

1:20 am

jillibus

And My Fair Lady...

1:20 am

broll

Oh, thank God! I thought I was the only person on the planet that didn't like ALW, and hated Cats!

1:21 am

jillibus

You beat me to it, melon! And have a good night...

1:21 am

SueMagee

Count me in too.

1:21 am

helenkeller

i wish i had musical talent - that sounds awesome melon - you have some way cool stories/memories :)

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

Kiss Me Kate, My One & Only, Oklahoma, Carousel, Company, Candide, West Side Story,....

1:21 am

joey

my all time favorite west side story

1:21 am

ls1

very cool, melon. there was real depth and talent in theatre until he came along and made it like tv

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

hk, i got to be what i wanted to be when i grew up - it does not get better than that :)

1:22 am

helenkeller

1:22 am

ls1

1:28 am

scv

you cant rest if you play this game.. one day blends into the next if you only break for a couple of hours!

1:28 am

SueMagee

I believe it's French for "rag" - the cloth the chefs have at their waist. It's a very basic form of lace - usually the first one lace makers learn. It builds from the TH 6/21.

1:29 am

tazpink

lol

1:29 am

SueMagee

Sorry, that should be TO 6/21!

1:31 am

tazpink

1:41 am

tazpink

1:42 am

SueMagee

Primitive from of lighting, Taz or English for flashlight!

1:43 am

broll

Think villagers after Frankenstein's monster, carrying to 5/14s.

1:43 am

girlfriday

Hello??Anyone have the qu 7/40, please? Thanks!

2:24 am

tazpink

gf i told u

2:25 am

scv

thats the only q im missing, girlfriday :(

2:25 am

tazpink

scv how would i do that with the cursor?

2:25 am

jillibus

taz - put the cursor on the right hand edge of the page until it turns into a double-ended arrow, then left-click, hold it down, and move it over toward the left.

2:25 am

scv

put your cursor over the edge of the window and click, hold down, and drag to resize.

2:25 am

tazpink

tytyty

2:25 am

scv

oh, your instructions are much better

2:27 am

jillibus

the qu7/40 is a kind of betting thing at a horserace

2:27 am

tazpink

i clued that below but i am rather see thru lol

2:27 am

girlfriday

no clue about any of this....horse stuff

2:27 am

scv

i fit the grid, word list and chat in a window on the left and a narrower colum on the right side for lickety. i like the set up and dont have to use the mouse unless i want to chat.

2:28 am

scv

er.. which is good for me because i double enter

2:29 am

scv

there's another almost harry potter word in here.

2:30 am

jillibus

have you heard of a trifecta? If not, take the qu4/7 and add jazz singer Fitzgerald's first name minus one consonant

2:30 am

Frances

Another way. Open a new window with the list. Resize it so that it fits over your word list (between the chat and the grid) and when you need to see your words just click anywhere on the Babble page. Does that make sense?

2:30 am

girlfriday

jilli, as always, thanks!

2:31 am

jillibus

Frances, that's what I do

2:31 am

jillibus

yw, gf

2:31 am

Frances

jilli - so easy

2:31 am

Jencatd

Thanks, Jilli

2:32 am

tazpink

frances will try ty

2:32 am

MVA

thanks jill!

2:32 am

Jencatd

Frances, ity's only easy if you know your way around a racecourse or a betting place. ^^;

2:32 am

Jencatd

*it's

2:32 am

MVA

linoes

2:32 am

MVA

oh no , sorry!

2:32 am

Jencatd

D'oh thought it was about the clue. ^^;

2:32 am

jillibus

wow! all these thanks! You're welcome indeed -- and now to bed

2:32 am

Frances

Jencatd
I meant resizing windows LOL

2:33 am

Jencatd

Ah. That's what happens when you get behind in the chat. ^^;

2:33 am

girlfriday

186 left...off to sleep. Have a good time everyone.

2:33 am

scv

if you put the list over your words, wouldnt the windows go to back/come to front.. back and forth constantly?

2:34 am

jillibus

just alt/tab to toggle back and forth

2:34 am

scv

thats what i do but this way both are always visible

2:34 am

scv

i can work on my co's with the list of what ive got and where i need to fit new ones in right there

2:36 am

jillibus

so what's your arrangement again, scv (can't seem to go to bed)?

2:37 am

scv

babbles open on the left, lickety resized to a narrow column on the right

2:37 am

scv

i wish i could put this much energy into finding more words ;p

2:38 am

scv

instead of wasting it trying to figure out the most efficient way of babbling

2:38 am

scv

metababble?

2:38 am

jillibus

doesn't that cover up the chat?

2:38 am

scv

nope, fits perfectly

2:38 am

seano216k

i have licketys list up twice: one for for quick word entry, the other one scrolled down to the bit i am concentrating on. after a barrage of entered words, i refresh the second screen and the words pop in

2:39 am

scv

thats an excellent idea seano. thats the only bit that annoys me..

2:40 am

Frances

scv
Just tried and it does work. Thanks

2:40 am

seano216k

it saves scrolling up to the word entry bit, then back down again

2:40 am

scv

i might have my resolution set differently

2:41 am

jillibus

Could be. I can't reduce the size of my babble screen enough to fit the list beside it.

2:42 am

scv

seano.. good idea. that does make it easier

2:42 am

jillibus

Don't have to scroll Lickety's list if you use the little black square with a question mark in it -

2:42 am

seano216k

still leaves me 268 words today though ;-)

2:43 am

jillibus

Now - *poof*

2:43 am

Frances

jilli
If you click on the middle button at the very top right of your screen - the one with two squares on it - you should then be able to make your page whatever size you want.

2:44 am

scv

not sure i'm up for triple entry

2:44 am

jillibus

frances (didn't really disappear yet) - I've tried that and it only reduces the size a little

2:44 am

scv

222 left. feels like i haven't started ;p

2:45 am

klaurel

196 left and its time for bed

2:45 am

seano216k

right, now to tackle those CO's.

2:45 am

Frances

jilli
Once you click on that button you should then be able to drag the sides of your page in and out.

2:46 am

tazpink

seano you type in the letters on licketys right?

2:46 am

Frances

And the top and bottom if you want to!

2:46 am

seano216k

yes taz

2:46 am

scv

or from the corners!

2:46 am

Frances

Yep!

2:47 am

tazpink

yhmmm i was i wasnt a computer nincompoop

2:48 am

scv

if you've figured out this much you aren't a nincompoop!

2:48 am

tazpink

eo anyone?

2:48 am

jillibus

I know, but I want it ALL!!! Including the grey (I wsh) boxes - I'll fiddle tomorrow if I have time - thanks

2:48 am

tazpink

besides 4.4

2:49 am

tazpink

gnite all

2:49 am

seano216k

2:50 am

Frances

Bye. I'm off too. Back tonight.

2:50 am

MVA

off for breakfast, bbl, bye all

2:50 am

scv

what would its definition be?

2:50 am

scv

use it in a sentence tomorrow and it'll be a word ;]

2:51 am

froelica

hmm... it'd be a verb, and the action would have to sound like it....

2:51 am

froelica

okay, i'll think of one :)

2:51 am

scv

hahaa

2:52 am

scv

'snorch' is all kinds of hilarious

2:52 am

seano216k

snorch is the last snore sound you make before you wake yourself up

2:52 am

froelica

that's what i thought, its too funny to not be valid

2:52 am

scv

snakes on a snorch.

2:53 am

froelica

pretty darn good, seano!

2:53 am

froelica

hehehe...

2:53 am

seano216k

<snorch>....startled look......''was i snoring?''

2:53 am

scv

lol, i can totally see that, seano

2:53 am

froelica

i think that may be the one!

2:53 am

seano216k

i meant 'SNORCH' obviously

2:54 am

seano216k

no one snorches lower case

2:54 am

froelica

true, unless he's been muffled by his girlfriend's pillow, trying desperately to sleep....

2:55 am

seano216k

this isn't getting my CO words done!

2:55 am

scv

snake was in the grid yesterday and i almost died laughing because it was the first thing i saw. i think too much about it, i think. & snorch gets you +11 points, word of the week.

2:55 am

scv

i gave up on the co's hallf way. tackle them again tomorrow.

2:56 am

froelica

i do that all the time scv, although mine are usually the most disgusting and offensive words on the list. where is my mind??

2:58 am

seano216k

yesterday was the day for offensive words.... very XXX late nite babble

2:59 am

froelica

i know! and when i began the grid it was all i saw! it otold my boyfriend what i saw and he was like ?what kind of game is this??"

2:59 am

scv

LOL

3:00 am

froelica

*i told*

3:00 am

scv

but then some words that may seem to be along the same lines arent accepted

3:00 am

scv

i try anyway.

3:01 am

froelica

me too, you never know. i wouldnt have thought the cu** word would be accepted

3:01 am

scv

me either

3:03 am

scv

i swore i was going to bed 20 minutes ago.

3:04 am

froelica

yeah i think i'm too tired for a 300+ grid

3:04 am

scv

i'm going to. goodnight!

3:04 am

froelica

3:04 am

4:09 am

snowyowl

Hi Ex Wren! Hiope the weather improves for you. We had a lovely day yesterday although it was cloudy in patches. Gorgeous earlier this morning but the 1st drops of rain are just falling!

4:10 am

ExWren

The forecast is very bad

4:11 am

snowyowl

Well - I suppose we shouldn't complain because things could be a lot worse, but SOME sunshine would be very nice! I managed to be in Majorca for the 2 weeks of fine weather! You can always spend the time in McArthur Glen!

6:47 am

faeriekae

6:47 am

mrpresident

de7 - an informer

6:47 am

lynxxx

Sorry no - not got yet but had printed off list and just scanned through it.

6:48 am

GraceM

6:49 am

mrpresident

ch7 and 8 a natural amine in the vitamin group

6:49 am

Eva

thanks mrp!!!

6:50 am

Eva

okay, that's it for the 8's. Am NOT goingn to go after the de7 bait that grace dangled in front of me.

6:51 am

amandacath

Hi all! That's odd, I never have to log in, because I never log out. Why did I today?

6:52 am

Uneaixoise

I've had to do that a few times since we changed servers . . .

6:52 am

mrpresident

hi amanda and une!

6:52 am

Uneaixoise

hey, mrp!

6:53 am

amandacath

hi MrP!

6:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey AmandaCath - Did you clean out your browser cache?

6:54 am

Wolvie

wow - just back from nowhere -what happened?

6:58 am

amandacath

I think I did the other day, lickety. I'll check. What happened Wolvie?

6:59 am

licketySplitAUS

amandacath - that could remove your cookie for login for babble and force you to login again. The server move would also do it - as you could have stored it against the playbabble.com not www.playbabble.com

7:00 am

amandacath

ahhh - it was probably the server move, then. Did we move again last night?

7:00 am

Wolvie

I have no idea - I started to answer eva about her missing 8, and went into nowhere's vil - had to set up the site again - very odd

7:01 am

licketySplitAUS

btw - I emailed DrGod about removing indecent words from the list (like the C word) and he said that he has no plans to remove any words as "That slope is way too slippery"

7:01 am

amandacath

that is strange, wolvie. Have gremlins moved in with you?

7:02 am

chiley

I agree with DrGod.

7:03 am

amandacath

Aw, c'mon - we're not that prude are we? It's a yucky word, granted, but you don't have to say it, just recognize it. And DrG's right - where would it end?

7:03 am

licketySplitAUS

Well I think if he get's alot of requests for one or a few words, maybe he might.

7:03 am

licketySplitAUS

if my kid came and looked at my list yesterday - it'd be awkward ;-)

7:03 am

Wolvie

no - everything else is working fine - I thought the site was acting up again - it is another 300 word day. ;-)

7:04 am

Wolvie

I agree with Dr God as well, fwiw

7:05 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah I know - It can go the otherway too - Like adding words ;-) Internet for example.

7:06 am

chiley

if he tried to eliminate words that are offensive to everyone we'd be seeing 20 word grid

7:07 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:07 am

Wolvie

morning evan

7:07 am

Mom

good morning Evanadine

7:08 am

amandacath

I think the only way we're going to get a different list if if he changes from Enable or if Enable updates. Drg's got enough to worry about without fooling with the word-lists as well!

7:08 am

amandacath

hie evan!

7:08 am

lynxxx

I agree also that there should be no 'discrimination' - I have done a mental cringe sometimes thinking that a word would be embarassing to a fellow Babbler BUT where would it start and end?

7:08 am

licketySplitAUS

agreed! Can't wait for his next creation - whatever that might be.

7:08 am

marso

afternoon all :) how many today?

7:09 am

amandacath

sorry evan, that wasn't a command to get thee gone!

7:09 am

Mom

If I found a word that I found offensive and didn't want my children to see it, I would not put it on my word list.

7:09 am

EvaNadine

oddly-related, they were just having a discussion on the radio this morning about whether or not tht C-word is offensive to all women...
someone had called in + said that it was only white women who found it offensive...
i find that hard to believe...

7:10 am

EvaNadine

*whew* thanks amanda -- i thought *I* was the only meanie around here...hehe

7:11 am

licketySplitAUS

Mom - We could also put liquid paper on our screens to white it out ;-)

7:12 am

Mom

Ahh lickety I prefer the correction strips, it is a lot less work to clean the screen :)

7:12 am

licketySplitAUS

Scrolling ones ;-)

7:13 am

chubby05

how many words today please

7:13 am

featherbee

hmm....to start or not to start, that is the question....

7:13 am

featherbee

351 words

7:13 am

marso

WHERE? lolo

7:13 am

licketySplitAUS

Cubby05 - You going to register or what?

7:14 am

musicmom

I'm having the same dilemma feather - I keep popping in and out trying to decide

7:14 am

licketySplitAUS

you too marso?

7:14 am

Wolvie

mroning feather - might as well jump in!

7:14 am

mama

I don't chat -- mostly because I pop in and out too often to carry on a conversation. But, my 9yo loves to help me with the puzzle. With words like yesterday, I do just like Mom and don't type the word. He doesn't know it so he wouldn't see it. He does like the bodily function words though. Must be a boy thing.

7:15 am

marso

if hubby would let me near the visa i would lol

7:15 am

featherbee

is anyone here who is done or almost done? is it a fun big one, or a hair pulling big one?

7:15 am

amandacath

It's a shame that we insult people by calling them sexual organs, male or female. Or rather, it's a shame that we think so little of our sexual organs that it's an insult to call someone one. I think I'm going to start calling people I don't like ... ummm, elbows?

7:15 am

Wolvie

eva was close - over 240 words before leaving - will be back later - i have 100 words, started about an hour ago

7:15 am

licketySplitAUS

marso - arrr I see - shop aholic in babble reform

7:15 am

featherbee

lmao amanda! you elbow you!

7:16 am

musicmom

On the negative word strain -- just a thought --- words are just letters strung together. We, as humans, assign them negative or positive connotations. I would prefer to not have words banned. It seems that is the same as banning reading material.

7:16 am

musicmom

LOL amandacath

7:16 am

featherbee

just as a curiosity on enable, is the F word in it? if not, then i wonder why it includes the one and not the other?

7:17 am

musicmom

I don't know feather

7:17 am

licketySplitAUS

I agree featherbee - the list that drgod uses was obviously grabbed at a point in time where there was some manipulation happening - cause I can verify that it doesn't match the current one!

7:18 am

marso

he dont trust me with the heaven sent card lol

7:18 am

featherbee

what do you mean lickety? like it was hacked?

7:18 am

SueMagee

Afternoon everyone. The C words don't worry me and really I'd much rather that children saw them, knew what they meant and understood that they were offensive. I think openness makes it far less likely that they'll use them.

7:18 am

licketySplitAUS

no - just different - some words missing, some words added from that list on angelsongs links

7:18 am

amandacath

I don't think I've done a grid that it was in, feather, but it's etymology is pretty much like the c-word -it wasn't always bad. And it would definitely be censorship to cut them out. Thy bother me less than the n-word and the j-words that show up now and again

7:18 am

musicmom

that is a good point sue

7:20 am

featherbee

but is it censorship to not include the F word, yet have the C word?

7:20 am

SueMagee

Like Amanda I'm far more offended by CO 4/5 or some of the words refering to Jews. They are nasty, but once again I'd rather children saw them and understood that they're offensive.

7:20 am

licketySplitAUS

featherbee - my guess is that whereever the list came from, it has been in a state of change - and we just happen to be working of one that kept C not F

7:20 am

musicmom

I personally think all words should be included.

7:21 am

featherbee

interesting lickety

7:21 am

featherbee

i know i'd have a blast entering F*** in a grid one day!

7:21 am

SueMagee

I agree musicmom.

7:22 am

musicmom

For those of us with children - those words provide a teaching moment if the child asks about it.

7:22 am

Wyrd

good morning everyone

7:22 am

SueMagee

Yes!

7:22 am

musicmom

there are so many crazy oddball words that if it isn't a word the child hears all the time - they probably wouldn't even question it

7:22 am

SueMagee

Morning Wyrd!

7:23 am

Wyrd

thanks Sue :)

7:23 am

musicmom

Hi wyrd

7:23 am

mama

Agreed musicmom. I'd rather be the one to teach mine than have him learn it somewhere else.

7:23 am

Wolvie

good morning wyrd

7:23 am

amandacath

the f-word is really not there? What's the co-word you're talking about, Sue?

7:23 am

featherbee

i remember being young, and saying "that's so queer" to my mom, who happens to be gay. she was very upset with me, and said "do you know what that word means?" i said "doesn't it mean strange or odd?" i had no clue that it might offend!

7:23 am

musicmom

short for a masked mammal amanda

7:24 am

marso

me off peeps in 2 much pain here

7:24 am

featherbee

now i didn't know that co word was offensive either!

7:24 am

SueMagee

The Co4/5 that refers to black people which is in today's grid Amanda.

7:24 am

licketySplitAUS

to true featherbee - it's probably offensive to type a certain smiley now - like :-<-

7:24 am

marso

bye all tc an have fun :)

7:25 am

SueMagee

Bye marso.

7:25 am

Mom

bye Marso

7:25 am

Wolvie

bye marso

7:25 am

featherbee

bye marso

7:25 am

Wyrd

Sue, I never considered it meant that, we truly call an animal that on the west coast

7:25 am

amandacath

ahh - when I see that one, I prefer to think of the cute furry creature

7:25 am

mrpresident

co4/5 is offensive to our indigenous people in australia, and yet we have a brand of cheese with that name... go figure!

7:25 am

featherbee

ok, i need to go check today's theme

7:25 am

musicmom

Here's what the dictionary says when you click the ? for that word coon Audio pronunciation of "coon" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kn)
n.

1. Informal. A raccoon.
2. Offensive Slang. Used as a disparaging term for a Black person.

7:25 am

musicmom

It points out that it is offensive.

7:25 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp is right - there is even a song in the ad!

7:25 am

musicmom

That isn't validating its use

7:25 am

featherbee

interesting

7:26 am

Mom

It never occured to me that the co word was a term for black people

7:26 am

mrpresident

well, now we all know! and it doesn't change the name of the cheese :)

7:26 am

SueMagee

It used to be very common in this part of the wrold.

7:26 am

licketySplitAUS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coon_chee
se

7:26 am

featherbee

hmm, i've never really watched the simpsons, so i'll just go with my feather today

7:27 am

EnigmaNeko

if you're form the south, you have...mom

7:27 am

licketySplitAUS

Despite a legal challenge to the name by Stephen Hagan in 2003, the name has nothing to do with the more commonly known racial slur use of the word and is instead named after its creator Edward William Coon, who patented a method for fast maturation of cheese via high temperature and humidity. The original trademark owner Kraft, and later Dairy Farmers have vigorously defended this trademark.

7:27 am

musicmom

But - it is only the intent with which the word is used that makes it disparaging. Just like Feather's 'queer' example.

7:27 am

mrpresident

nice cheese though...

7:29 am

lynxxx

isn't it nearly always in the 'delivery' of a word rather than the word itself that offends? very few words offend me but I can take exception to the 'attitude'.

7:30 am

Jacula

Hello everyone. Monster grid today, I see. I think I'd better get some work done before starting it.

7:30 am

SueMagee

You're right Lynn.

7:30 am

7:30 am

Wolvie

hi jac

7:30 am

featherbee

7:30 am

SueMagee

I'm over 200 and it's fun so far.

7:31 am

chiley

I seem to have hit a wall at 204

7:31 am

featherbee

aaahhhh, ok sue! i was thinking it may be, with the er, ed, s possibilities

7:31 am

mrpresident

feather, it is a fun grid!!

7:31 am

lynxxx

its OK feather - there are all sorts of 'endings' to words

7:31 am

musicmom

I have 40 words with all the chatting i have been doing. It looks comfortable so far.

7:31 am

amandacath

speaking of offensive words, I just found a co7/32 which isn't very nice

7:31 am

Jacula

feather - PITA?

7:31 am

It has a very different meaning here - not a very nice word

8:03 am

Wolvie

oh - sorry.

8:03 am

featherbee

really? wow

8:03 am

mama

nooner should definitely be a word. someone tell the people at enable.

8:04 am

Wolvie

mw lists it as for the time being - that's what I meant.

8:04 am

Becca Lorum

That's OK - I love the way we speak the same language with different meanings - it makes talking fascinating

8:05 am

SueMagee

You're right, Becca.

8:05 am

Wolvie

true, becca. :-)

8:53 am

SueMagee

Ha! The monkeys are having a field day here.

Michharv

9:18 am

SueMagee

The q's are:

9:18 am

Atalante

not sure, but could you clue the 7 please?

9:18 am

amandacath

nope - I've got the one that sounds like how you might pronounce the Hogwarts game if you're drunk...

9:19 am

amandacath

Ata - it's evidently a misspelled betting method, sounds like it could be a woman's name..

9:20 am

Atalante

urf dont know any betting methods ... *monkeys name-alikes*

9:21 am

Michharv

There's another one (qu 6,27) It's qu 4,7 + if something's ancient, it's _ _ _ (but only the first 2 letters)

9:21 am

SueMagee

The q's are 4 /8 , 5 /18 , 5 /16, 4 /7 , 7 /40 , 6 /27 , 5 /16 , 4 /7 ,6 /33 in that order.

9:21 am

amandacath

amandacath

btw, does anyone know why we pronounce 'colonel' (which isn't in the grid, no matter haw many times I try it) 'kernel'?

9:33 am

SueMagee

I think it began as lazt speech Amanda and then became the accepted pronunciation.

9:34 am

SueMagee

"Lazy", sorry.

nice site, Ata - have bookmarked it. I love it too! My theory on lieutenant: somebody wrote it lewtenant and the manuscript got wet. By the time it got to the printer it looked like levtenant. Whaddya think?

9:48 am

arleneehm

oops

9:48 am

amandacath

Hi Stid!

9:50 am

klaurel

morning stid

9:50 am

Atalante

well I always wonder what order the leftenant pronunciation and the phrase "left-hand man" appeared in. maybe the two got interrelated, with the similar meaning of lieutenant as a sidekick

9:51 am

Aloyisius

there's a "right-hand man".. could there be a left?

9:51 am

stidmama

we are heading out to help my mother make bulletin boards. I LOVE this part of the getting ready for school rituals!

9:53 am

Aloyisius

anyone get the in6 and in7?

9:53 am

arleneehm

stid...that sounds like fun

9:54 am

abe79

in + misspelling of person who is dishonest

9:54 am

amandacath

I don't think I've ever heard of 'left-hand man' either. How's he different from a 'right-hand man'?

9:54 am

This grid was too easy...

I'm making up for not finding the e- and i-words I'm looking for by asking silly questions

9:57 am

abe79

10:01 am

Aloyisius

well, don't forget the chemical en4/4

10:01 am

amandacath

yay! 4 out of 9 e's - 5 as soon as I find out what David Bowie's wife's name is...

10:01 am

abe79

amanda- btw, the word is an el

10:03 am

amandacath

oh, right - I think I'd repressed that I knew who he's married to...

10:03 am

Atalante

and the chemical plural

10:03 am

abe79

amanda, the information got pushed out of your head by your extensive knowledge about david beckham

10:04 am

Atalante

and wind-driven (eo6) and there's a el5/6 combo

10:04 am

amandacath

that must have been it, abe

10:07 am

abe79

thansks for all the 'e' clues everyone

10:08 am

amandacath

Yay gottem all but the chemical plural, am working on it. Thanks for all the clues

10:09 am

Aloyisius

I can't get that pl. either, amanda

10:09 am

Atalante

urf sory, no chemical plural. was reading my word list wrong

10:10 am

ladynoire1013

Well, I'm at 162 with no help - today must be really easy LOL

ladynoire1013

Hello Aloy

10:11 am

Aloyisius

hi, lady.. having fun yet?

10:11 am

amandacath

ok, so we're still missing one e that's not the plural of the chemical one - any ideas?

10:11 am

Dorens

yes, I am with you Krys....regretting already

10:11 am

Krys10

mind you, i haven't started it yet... still time to back out.. but the first word i saw was a 7. tempting

10:12 am

Atalante

nope, any stuck on the last E

10:12 am

Krys10

and i do possibly have the afternoon free as i languish away in the jury duty waiting room

10:12 am

Atalante

nope, am stuck on the last E

10:12 am

abe79

stuck on last 2 e's

10:12 am

Dorens

ah, but I have started it...been lurking for an hour or more and have 142 left

10:12 am

Aloyisius

oh, come on in, krys.. the water's fine.. and so is the company ! (-:

10:13 am

amandacath

Oh, poor Krys - well, at least you have something to do while languishing

10:13 am

Dorens

haven't done licketys list yet so have no idea about last e, but doubt that I have it

10:14 am

Krys10

*sigh* ok, here I go. but I'm *only* staying here until 9 my time, then i'm getting up to do other things.

10:14 am

Aloyisius

maybe I can help, ata. Think of a cut of pork, put the e in front of it..

10:15 am

Mary

Is this thing acting up again today????

10:15 am

Aloyisius

then pl it

10:15 am

Aloyisius

seems to be stuttering at times, Mary

10:15 am

SueMagee

I'm stuck on the same two E's Abe.

10:15 am

Atalante

plus the plural - yes, really this time!

10:15 am

amandacath

it's on and off, Mary, but there hasn't been a major breakdown yet

10:16 am

abe79

great minds think alike, Sue :)

10:16 am

Krys10

that doesn't bode well, right as i decide to jump in the site hiccups. it's like the thunderclap in the horror movie that foreshadows which character is about to be slaughtered.

10:16 am

abe79

sorry

10:16 am

amandacath

for that e5/6 combo - I thought about clueing 'cybersex', but that may be way too off base

10:16 am

abe79

ROFL

10:17 am

Atalante

ok, I have to poof for a while. back later .... goodluck with the last E!

10:18 am

amandacath

see ya Ata - I'll probably still be here when you get back. Maybe I'll have found that e by then

10:18 am

Krys10

jfarber, you there?

10:19 am

abe79

see you later Atalante

10:23 am

amandacath

oh, I give up on the e - I'm moving on to the i's (which are just as yucky, I'm afraid)

10:24 am

Krys10

but there's fewer of them :)

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

please tell me there's been a horrible mistake for the total...

10:24 am

amandacath

'fraid not - 9 i's too, according to lickety

10:25 am

Krys10

nope, i got it wrong, there's another i down there i didn't see

10:25 am

Krys10

TO, it seems that this is a big grid, yes

10:25 am

amandacath

Hi TO!

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't get it..the server can't handle a normal grid; i finish all of these monsters and my ranking is in the toilet...

10:26 am

10:26 am

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

i can't even access lickety at work

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

aloy i am joking (poorly)

10:28 am

Aloyisius

yup, TO.. I gotta be nuts.. but, luckily, I am a retired nut!

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

good for you! i work and am (supposed to be ) writing a thesis !

10:29 am

I have two missing co 6/21 driving me nuts... I think both may begin with the body part....

10:29 am

Aloyisius

wow, what's the thesis topic?

72 Temple Owl

*looks down and from side to side* uh.................

10:30 am

Calqhoon

11:06 am

nrkii

11:09 am

featherbee

i've found it saves me time and headaches to actually enter the words. i used to just compare, but it got tiring fast!

11:09 am

nrkii
