12:22 am

SamanthaJoy

I can't see the ge 12 to save my life

SamanthaJoy

Ooooooohhhhhhhh. Well, that's *kind of* a real word . . . thank you

The other 10 is Ga10/84. If a famous fashion label was made mineral, it would be called this.

SamanthaJoy

12:30 am

sprite

WTG Colhad!

12:31 am

SamanthaJoy

I just realized that I've entered the ho 7 without bothering to enter the ho 4 it's built from. That's a danger with the big grids . . .

12:31 am

sprite

And don't forget the ho5 there... ;)

12:31 am

ramix

1:02 am

cybernan

I'll come up with it eventually -- I'm sure the clues are wonderful, but I seldom watch TV and I have been using the same shampoo for the last 30 years and don't pay attention to anything else!

1:02 am

Melon, we have had a subscripion for over 30 years. In Dec there will be a special series for their 70th anniversary. Every one, but every good musician will be here. It's to die for. Enjoyed their 50th and their 60th anniversaries.

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

1:23 am

1:26 am

melonheadjujube

in december - preventative. my daughter will be staying with me. from all i hear, i should not make any big plans for about 6 weeks after. lots of time to babble, eh?

1:26 am

melonheadjujube

if you got one of the 10s youcan get the 12, believe me.

1:26 am

joey

melon i did it a while ago. 6 weeks was good. my mom went back to work in 3. good luck to you

1:26 am

debbinla

((((((((melon))))))))))

1:27 am

cybernan

slug of vision words again

1:27 am

jillibus

no 10s here yet - just the a8. I'm no good at big words

1:28 am

manjari

hai jillibus whats that thing flying in your icon?

1:28 am

cybernan

just don't eat any beans or cabbage for a while after, melon!

1:28 am

cybernan

or broccoli!

1:28 am

jillibus

Click on the icon, manjari

1:29 am

manjari

whoooo got the longest top 3 words...friends

1:29 am

melonheadjujube

thank you cybernan, i learned thatafter my c section - also cabbage and its rellies make nursing babies very very very unhappy ;)

1:29 am

jillibus

good for you, manjari!

1:30 am

ramix

jilibus, i think she means your pic is a clue for a 10 letter word

1:30 am

manjari

yes i clicked jill ... is that of ur interest in some way...

1:30 am

ramix

mebbe not...kinda looks like one though

1:31 am

jillibus

don't know what you mean, manjari - it was yesterday's theme - flight.

1:31 am

manjari

oh no ramix...i was just checking all icons... and was wonderin what would have made jilli choose that plane?

1:31 am

jillibus

the explanation is in the profile

1:32 am

cybernan

got my icon on theme .... long may she re 5/14 :)

1:32 am

ramix

jilibus, kinda looks like a power turbine...which is a clue

1:32 am

helenkeller

nan - i am really looking forward to seeing helen mirren do her! going this weekend

1:32 am

manjari

oh ok ...just curious to know jilli...by the way did u get the two 10 letter words...maybe i can clue you...

1:33 am

joey

cybernan, i just got back from the balloon fiesta, saw lots of balloons. awesome sight.

1:33 am

manjari

ramix that was a good clue...

1:33 am

jillibus

no, haven't got the 10s, and turbines don't turn me on! Guess I'm just too sleepy at this hour

1:34 am

cybernan

yes, I think it should be good, helen --- I wonder how Her Majesty feels about it?!

1:34 am

helenkeller

nan - i bet she's keeping a stiff upper lip - lol

1:35 am

jillibus

good clue/icon, nan, and I'd like to see the helen mirren version too. Bet it's great!

1:36 am

ramix

hit a wall at 210. maybe i shd call it a night and continue tomorrow

1:38 am

Atalante

interestingly, Helen Mirren says that during the filming she grew to love the Queen. Says it all :P

1:39 am

helenkeller

ata - what's that? not all brits love the queen??

1:40 am

Atalante

not the anti-royalty brigade!

1:40 am

helenkeller

ata - is that a large brigade, or a smallish one?

1:40 am

helenkeller

although the word 'brigade' might lead me to believe it's rather large

1:41 am

Atalante

hmmmm good question. I'd *guess* something like 60% like her 40% don't - or don't like the royal family, I should say. I think everyone's admiration for QE2 is firmly in place

1:43 am

helenkeller

i remember my mom talking about the queen mum & the loyalty & respect she gained by staying in london during the ww II bombings

1:43 am

ramix

someone please kick me out of here.

1:43 am

helenkeller

i guess things change over the years cause the daughter has always seemed a mere shadow of her mum

1:44 am

cybernan

past half way -- time for bed or I'll never make my 9:00 am tee time! :)

1:44 am

helenkeller

good nite nan - GOOD NITE RAMIX !!!

1:44 am

Atalante

everyone loved the queen mum, absolutely! she and the queen I think have the respect of people for the work they do and the way they conduct themselves, even if people don't like the overall idea of the royal family. But Diana totally screwed absolute love for the Queen

1:45 am

Colhad

I found the co12!!!!

1:45 am

ramix

neener neener...still here helen

1:46 am

helenkeller

ata - interesting the way you put it - i always was under the impression that it was diana that got screwed by the queen - but i just know that from tv & mags

1:46 am

helenkeller

ramix - can't say i didn't try :)

1:46 am

cybernan

I think Elizabeth has mellowed considerably over the last few years -- becoming more like her mom all the time (not such a big spendthrift, though). She has had a lot to contend with and all in the public eye. Think she deserves our admiration --- let's face it, as personable as she was, Diana did not behave like a royal.

1:46 am

jillibus

ramix - I didn't mean to spurn your ofer of hints for the 10s - just want to try and find them but not doing well at it! Maybe in the morning...!

1:47 am

Colhad

co12/135 and ge10/84, combined total of 219 points for two words

1:47 am

Atalante

I think it depends what you believe. I think Di put the Queen in an impossible position, but that the Queen contributed to making Diana into the woman she was to demand that impossible position - if that makes sense!

1:47 am

ramix

jillibus...last clue...think the new dance craze...dance g/10

1:48 am

jillibus

I think people like Wills too, and get a kick out of Harry --- ???

1:48 am

helenkeller

uh ata - yeah, that's the ticket, what you said, lol

1:49 am

jillibus

thanks, ramix, I'll try to think of the latest dance craze -- I'm somewhat out of touch there, though!

1:49 am

helenkeller

the thing with 'royalty' is that circumstances are such that unless you are trained since birth, to act a certain way, chances are pretty good you'll never fit that mold

1:50 am

ramix

oh jillibus...i can't leave till you get it!

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

thDah manjari!

1:50 am

Atalante

everyone likes William. I think people either like Harry for his liveliness, or dislike him for his liveliness!

1:50 am

jillibus

ramix - you'll be up all night and you asked us to kick you outta here!

1:51 am

Colhad

the royals have a hard life, can't go anywhere or do anything without getting on camera, no privacy

i must go - planning a 16 mile bike ride tom'w. that's what i'll miss after hyster - it will take a while to build up my stamina. that's part of why i'm doing it in the winter.

1:53 am

helenkeller

col - i guess that's a matter of perspective - i don't think those are 'hard' lives at all, quite the opposite, in fact, the vast majority of people on the planet have it much, much harder - besides there's always the option of renouncing your title

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

stumped by the ga 10 - will i hit myself with a fish if i ask????

1:53 am

jillibus

have a great ride, melon - hope the weather will cooperate

1:53 am

ramix

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

tx jilli

1:54 am

helenkeller

melon - i had my hip replacement last winter & that was a good call - by the time spring rolls around you'll be well back in the swing of things to enjoy yourself

1:54 am

ramix

melon, brand name of shampoo made into a mineral

1:54 am

helenkeller

no fish melon - you want it

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

hip, hip - replacement! (sorry)

1:54 am

helenkeller

LOL

1:55 am

jillibus

oh there we are again with the shampoo nan and I haven't heard of!

1:55 am

Atalante

I don't think you can renounce your position if you have a strong inbuilt sense of duty ... they have a very very privileged life, but also a very hard one

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

thanks - i light fish-slap!

1:55 am

helenkeller

melon - i gotta say - you're the first, i haven't heard that one before - it's put a big smile on my face :)

1:55 am

helenkeller

2:05 am

helenkeller

jili- stick the dotted letter before the last 2 letters of the actors name

2:05 am

jillibus

I don't seem to be able to find the ending

2:05 am

helenkeller

& then add the common ending used for meteors

helenkeller

Colhad

2:35 am

FMitch

Hey np was just wondering as everyone has a dif way of approaching the game

2:36 am

Colhad

well, I spose I like the points side of it, but also good if I can get as many worda as possible, hopefully all of them

2:36 am

Biltong

Also, it's a rather high point value for one word isn't it? One of the highest I've ever seen

2:37 am

FMitch

I don't thnk I remember seeing a 12 letter word before!

2:37 am

Biltong

Come to think of it, neither have I. ha ha

9:15 am

Anniebrook

*pray

9:15 am

Karys

yes...a fair bit of monkey typing often leads to something I've overlooked

9:16 am

Anniebrook

It is fun when you are monkey typing and you find a word with 6 letters

9:16 am

Karys

I do love Haz's clues !!!

9:16 am

Haz1558

(And she doesn't get paid to say that!)

9:16 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Haz gives the greatest and most creative clues, Jacula also

9:16 am

Anniebrook

mr p, you are so right

9:17 am

Haz1558

Thank you!

9:18 am

Karys

LOL....Jac's too....I think my mind must work in a similar way ( but not quite as well or as quickly !)

9:18 am

Haz1558

The worst thing is if you clue a word, thinking you've done well, and then getting a 'Huh?'

9:19 am

mrpresident

that would be an awesome if not insulting addition to the clues page.... how many words you had to enter in order to find the right words!! LOL

9:19 am

mrpresident

Oh Haz, that happens to me all the time!!

9:20 am

Haz1558

You don't know whether to go back to the drawing board, or give up!

11:38 am

hi Scrabbler! how's the weather back there today? It turned foggy here, but should clear up in another hour or so.

11:38 am

caitlyn

Hi Scrabbler

11:38 am

Haz1558

Which ar words are you looking for, magzel?

11:38 am

Scrabbler

We have had a major snowstorm and the county is under a state of emergency! 2-3 ft of snow. Downed trees, no power--but north of me--affecting my parents and other family.

11:38 am

CiociaJudy

Got 3 grey boxes but a zillion words to go yet!

11:39 am

magzel

ar 5/12, the first one, ar7/28 and 8/40

11:39 am

caitlyn

WOW scrabbler it seems so early for snow

11:39 am

stidmama

oh man! I was hoping it hadn't hit you... Michigan had some, and Tom's sister (we talked to her last night) near Chicago says they had a little bit yesterday. Hope your folks will be okay.

11:39 am

Scrabbler

I have to shop soon and stock up on food. I may have people camping here for a few days IF the roads are opened up. There is a driving ban for now.

11:39 am

Haz1558

Sorry, magzel - don't have them yet.

11:39 am

Jacula

cait - I've examined those prickly shrubs a lot closer than I wanted on more than one occasion... we used to sledge down a valley of it nearby and I'd sometimes use one as a 'brake'. Ouch!

11:40 am

torgone

No snow here . . .

11:40 am

Scrabbler

I cannot reach anybody by phone recently. I spoke to my father at about 6 AM.

11:40 am

magzel

thanks for looking haz

11:40 am

Scrabbler

No way, torgone--you escaped this?

11:41 am

torgone

Just lucky I guess ..

11:41 am

stidmama

torgone lives in San Diego, Scrabbler...

11:41 am

11:41 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I checked torgone's bio and he is practically at the equator

11:42 am

stidmama

I have all the AR but the 7 and 8... start with a general location (ar 4/4) then latin and english plurals...

11:42 am

stidmama

11:42 am

Scrabbler

11:42 am

caitlyn

GO Angel!!!

11:43 am

stidmama

do you have board games and candles just in case?

11:43 am

stidmama

the 12 is a co-prefix to a 10-letter ge word...

11:43 am

Jacula

11:44 am

caitlyn

Bye Jacula

11:44 am

stidmama

got the AR 7: builds of the Spanish word for "sand" or a sports building

11:44 am

stidmama

later Jacula

11:45 am

stidmama

and the AR 8 has the same ending as the AR 7: sort of a "rock" or "crystal" suffix

11:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, lots of games, many jigsaw puzzles, non-battery dependent flashlights, lots of books....I am fine here--sunny and beautiful, but it is a disaster up north and the Natl Guard has been called.

11:45 am

stidmama

and that's it for the A list!

11:46 am

stidmama

Will send good energy to those in the snow, seems strange to have it this early after all the warm weather you've been having.

11:46 am

manjari

ar 5/12 = ar+second vowel+third vowel+ consonant

11:46 am

Scrabbler

Oh, the governor is on the radio now--declaring state funds available for votes, I mean aid

11:47 am

CiociaJudy

I can't believe you were already hit with a big snowstorm, Scrabbler. :( I'm not fond of the shoveling and miserable driving conditions. Never look forward to winter.

11:47 am

stidmama

LOL SCrabbler! getting cynical in your old age?

11:48 am

Scrabbler

Of course, Stid. I know the patterns of behavior of politicians

11:48 am

caitlyn

Scrabbler do you normally have snow this early in the year?

11:49 am

cybernan

whew -- a's are done

11:49 am

stidmama

I used to work for our state Secretary of State. He was okay, but the legislators gave me the willies! (glad I don't work any more)

11:49 am

Scrabbler

No, this is unusually early. I live in ski country (south of Buffalo) so we are used to this in Nov .

sry--the smaller grids, < 150-180 words are more manageable, at least for me. The really small ones leave me wanting more--addictions do that.

Okay - the first zo4/9 is the girl's name with a vowel after it. That can be made plural, with the normal letter and also as a latin plural. The zo6 word you have can be extended by adding another o to make zo7/52

1:35 pm

cybernan

2nd go 6/24?

1:35 pm

Haz1558

zo4/10 - add almost all of frozen water and the final zo4/9 ryhmes with what controls the tides.

I'm back. I disappeared for a while after my son arrived home and told me a fox ran into the back garden as he pulled onto the drive. I went out, put my hand on a slug that was on top of the picket gate (euch!) and then nearly tripped over a hedgeho*. Didn't see foxy but Hunting Cat did his usual trick of leaping out of the bushes & grabbing my ankle as I went to go back down the steps. (I'll swear he giggles as he does that!)

6:34 pm

Hi all, thought I might have another go at this grid (even though it's 1am and I can barely see it)

7:14 pm

Jacula

Incidentally - girding your loins is a bit like tucking your dress into your knicker legs to paddle. You draw up & tie your lower garment inbetween your legs to increase your agility & mobility.

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

LOL helen

7:14 pm

Oh, in the US we call it giving yourself a wedgie.

8:33 pm

Jacula

Accidentally typing a word in because cursor not moved or in chatting is fine. It's the deliberate posting of words by sad individuals who occasionally invade like trolls under a bridge that is annoying.

8:33 pm
