12:31 am

jillibus

12:32 am

msilver620

Hi all

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

...and the other have roots?

12:32 am

licketySplitAUS

melon - not sure what it means

12:32 am

ARB

Melon, also the eruptor is here

12:33 am

FranMag

melon, i think he meant the volcano and the poker bet and the bird

12:33 am

Natasha

de 7

12:33 am

licketySplitAUS

fran- yeah that's the ones

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

reuptor?

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

eruptor?

12:34 am

ARB

the thing that erupts

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

lickety, i was thinking of a word that means either worry or guitar finger-guide

12:34 am

Erda

It's also a laboratory vessel

12:35 am

jillibus

melon, that was an early donation from lickety - lol

12:35 am

FranMag

yay, greyed out the right side H!

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

i got the bird & the bet - i'm stupid about the eruptor - can't get past volcano

12:35 am

FranMag

e4 melon, reverse the bet

12:35 am

Erda

it's the bet reversed...

12:36 am

jillibus

yay, greyed out the whole right side - ;D

12:36 am

GreyWoulf

the Italian volcano

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

ohhhhh - that's not proper?

12:36 am

ARB

It's the most common word in most of the ppuzzles, Melon. You're just too good at the big complexed words and don't see the little 4 letter ones.

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

i do think the guitar term show up a lot too

12:37 am

FranMag

melon, it's also a piece of lab equipment, a burner

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

yep - me like big words.

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

melon -- I have seen words accepted where the only def available is the name of an obscure city -- never trust enable.....

EVER!

12:37 am

jillibus

it is proper but enable doesn't care

12:37 am

FranMag

i'm sure that's exactly it arb!

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

cities, yes, yet many musical instruments are left out - pipa, for instance.

12:37 am

Erda

words sometimes have other meanings, Grey

12:38 am

morerocks

i can't figure out fr5... can anyone help?

12:38 am

jillibus

but the volcano is only given the volcano meaning if you click on the ?

12:38 am

Erda

that's a poor dictionary

12:38 am

GreyWoulf

Erda -- I am aware of that, but for some reason, dictionary.com doesn't know half the words that enable uses

12:39 am

Erda

ah well -- it must have come free -- the dictionary, that is

12:39 am

FranMag

jilli, in the third definition down, the lab burner is the second def.

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

i'm stumped on the gh word - the math don't add up.

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

erda used a word-a!

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

enable is available for free as well so why doesn't it provide the defs?

12:40 am

FranMag

melon, what are the points?

12:40 am

licketySplitAUS

Ok, I'm stuck at 35, am going to the clues page now

12:41 am

FranMag

FranMag

Haz1558

I knew you'd make it without me!

2:25 am

sherb

yep, took me half an hour (including 25 minutes to find the instruction booklets for the boiler, cooker etc...)

2:25 am

rosalind230

you need radio control clocks

2:25 am

Frances

mkl
Just trying to think how to clue it

2:25 am

sherb

morning mattu... morning ros :)

2:26 am

Haz1558

fe6/33 - to be in the process of celebration

2:26 am

Frances

fe6/33 celebrating

2:27 am

mkl

Thanks Haz. I actually looked at that one a while ago, and didn't type it in.

2:27 am

mkl

First ha6,27?

2:28 am

Haz1558

To be in the process of ownership, Scottish style

2:28 am

rosalind230

ha6/27 where they keep planes

2:29 am

Haz1558

To be in the state of ownership might be better.

2:29 am

mkl

That's the second one. I need the first one. Thanks though

2:29 am

Frances

mkl
ha6/27 Scotting for owning

2:29 am

mkl

Probably an excellent clue Haz. But it went right over my head.

2:30 am

Frances

*Scottish*

2:30 am

Haz1558

mkl - you probably have ha4/5 - two of them relate to the scottish ownership, make it into another verb form.

2:30 am

sherb

have = 'hae' in Scots...

2:31 am

ruthy

can anyone please give me a clue for the re 7/36

2:32 am

sherb

morning ruthy :) ...I need that one too...

2:33 am

Frances

Think of the queenly place in Canada and add a vowel

2:33 am

Eggcorn

if you have the re 6/24, latin plural it

2:33 am

mkl

I CANNOT get that ha6,27. Even knowing the first three letters. Frustrating

2:34 am

Frances

ownING

2:34 am

Haz1558

mkl - it's the present participle, the active form of the verb.

2:34 am

lynxxx

mkl - are you ha**** a hard time? then swap and e for the v in this word

2:35 am

sherb

thanks Frances and Egg :)

Hey Haz!!.....I need to ask you a question?

3:10 am

Andree

never seen one in the flesh sherb, lucky you

3:10 am

Flask1

it about the grid

3:11 am

Andree

hi flask

3:11 am

Flask1

Hi all,,,,

3:11 am

Haz1558

Fire ahead Flask.

3:11 am

FMitch

sherb, green one or black and while one?

3:12 am

Flask1

Haz!.....I know the blacked out boxes means there are no words leading from those letters....however,

3:13 am

Flask1

does it also mean the letters are not in use for other words??....surely not??

3:13 am

sherb

green one... the first time, I saw one, I wondered what it was... I had to look it up in a book... I thought it was a small parrot!

3:13 am

Angb

Has anyone a clue for the first ha 6/27?

3:13 am

Haz1558

No, it doesn't mean that. It just means that there is no word that begins with that particular letter in that position.

3:13 am

sherb

we do get parrots round here...

3:13 am

Andree

no flask, just nothing starting with those letters

3:14 am

Haz1558

ha6/27 - Scottish ownership, develop from some of the ha4/5 words

3:14 am

FMitch

Thats lovely sherb, haven't seen one of those in years.

3:14 am

Flask1

I dunno why that came into my head this morning!!!

3:14 am

Andree

a place to keep your plane angb

3:15 am

Flask1

Thanks Haz!!

3:15 am

Angb

Don't think it can be Andree - it has three wierd letters at the beginning.

3:15 am

Haz1558

You must have had a rush of blood to the head! Enjoy the grid anyhow, now that that confusion has been cleared up

3:16 am

sherb

the second ha6/27 is a thing to ha4 your clothes on... a plane might be stretching it a bit...

3:16 am

Flask1

Yes I shall!!

3:17 am

Andree

only ha6/27 I have angb

3:17 am

Angb

OK - I'll keep looking

3:17 am

Andree

only 30 words so haven't much

3:18 am

Haz1558

Andree - ha6/27 I clued below- h plus three vowels in a row.

3:18 am

Haz1558

Sorry, I should have said Angb.

3:19 am

Angb

You are joking Haz - I had thought that might be ... but thought - no way! Off to look

3:19 am

sherb

are there 2 re6's or 3?

3:19 am

Haz1558

No joke!

3:19 am

Angb

3:36 am

pida 1

3:36 am

Angb

The food was a bit flashy for Kiwis.

3:36 am

Haz1558

3:37 am

Andree

3:37 am

Angb

Though we do like that bloke who swears a lot - the restaurant cehf

3:37 am

sherb

tv chef and food writer...

3:37 am

Haz1558

All the restaurant chefs swear a lot! Gordon Ramsay, or Jamie Oliver?

3:37 am

Angb

Really - our supermarkets are full of frozen meals - don't think we cook anymore.

3:39 am

Angb

It

3:39 am

mattygroves

Tiny grid today. What's today's theme?

3:40 am

Angb

It's the stress and anxiety I reckon - anyone that frantic couldn't put weight on

3:40 am

sherb

high metabolism...

3:40 am

Haz1558

He runs as well, Angb - he takes part in charity marathons.

3:40 am

Andree

3:41 am

Andree

Sorry - I thought you meant Gordon! Miss Lawson claims to not care about her weight.

3:42 am

FMitch

Andree not puting on an ounce is all part of being a Domestic Godess (in her world anyway).

3:43 am

Angb

You must make sure the SBs are from the Marlborough region - The East Coast / Hawkes Bay ones are not the same soil. But they reputedly are some of the best in the word. And Oyster Bay is simply delicious

3:43 am

Angb

Haven't tried Drylands. Must look out for it.

3:44 am

Angb

I am on my last word - and it's a 4 letter t word LOL

3:44 am

FMitch

Haz if I had a figure like hers I wouldn't worry about my weight either

Angb

Odd word that one

3:47 am

Angb

I was very pleased with myself - took the list with 9 to go - and only 1 of the words were anything I had heard before.

3:48 am

Angb

Mind you there were many clues from the chat log.

4:20 am

periwinkle

words are so obvious when a good clue is given, thanks ConX

4:21 am

ConXshun

4:21 am

ConXshun

4:23 am

periwinkle

mouldy

np peri, i only have those ones so far

4:25 am

mouldy

go ahead 'nother

4:26 am

annotherone

didn't see what you'd put mouldy - think mines the same word as yours

4:26 am

periwinkle

mouldy- have the fe5/16 but can't get the fe7

4:28 am

mouldy

someone who fe5/16s interest would be a fe7/48 -- typical ending for a person who does something

4:28 am

FMitch

the 7/48 builds off the f5/20 not the 5/16

4:28 am

mouldy

oh so sorry - misread my own list, thanks fmitch

4:29 am

periwinkle

thanks FMitch, I figured it out

Hey, Vic

why can we have a person who fe 5/20's but not a person who fe 5/16's? they are practically the same thing!

7:21 am

Vicuna

(Goes to look for fe5/20 so she can respond to rhetorical question...)

7:22 am

hurshy

:)

7:22 am

Vicuna

(I mean fe5/16. Maybe I'd have better luck if I could keep track of what I was looking for.)

7:22 am

hurshy

almost integer!

7:23 am

Vicuna

Ah. Got it. In answer to the question... No idea!

7:23 am

hurshy

and if you can have a tr4/4house, i should think a tr4/4hut would work too (only half serious on that one)

7:24 am

Vicuna

It is a continuing thorn in my side that they won't accept "henge."

7:30 am

evanonut

7:31 am

periwinkle

OMG thanks hurshy, for some reason I am have lots of trouble finding the words today, maybe it is because of turning the clocks back :)

7:31 am

Merk

My favorite night of the year in that respect.

7:31 am

Vicuna

Daylight savings doesn't give us a whole extra night, Merk!

7:31 am

Merk

Peri, perhaps you get thrown off just like the wee ones.

7:31 am

Vicuna

And, alas, children cannot be reset as easily as clocks...

7:31 am

periwinkle

down to the dreaded 14

7:31 am

Merk

No, but it's a night I enjoy because of the hour.

7:32 am

hurshy

lol - is the dreaded 14 spreading?

7:32 am

cliffopa

the only problem with an extra hour of sleep is that my cats were not in sync. they were attacking me for their breakfast when i got up.

Aloyisius

hi Scrabbler.. you must be getting our winds from yesterday.. they were FIERCE... with lots and lots of rain.. this morning is pretty, blue skies.. wishing that for your tomorrow.. Just popped in to say HI as I finished the grid. See all you babblers tomorrow.. anyone need a clue before I leave BabbleLand?

8:17 am

hurshy

yes alo, i need either an fr6 or an h6 besides the 2 to do with the 4/7, which is it?

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Yup, Al, we have had big winds since last evening. Branches and twigs all over the place.

8:18 am

Aloyisius

hi hurshy... think of the place , ar***, where sports are played indoors... and start it with the fr.. does that help?

8:19 am

hurshy

yes, indeed it does, now i just need an h6, yay

8:19 am

Aloyisius

8:22 am

Aloyisius

hi Judy... lots of bird activity this morning.. smart birds are flocking and getting out of here!

8:23 am

CiociaJudy

I hate to see them go, Aloy. I know that means winter is fast approaching. I have a large window feeder in my bedroom next to my computer. I'm watching them munching right now.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

The squirrels are having a buffet with all of the birdfeeders spilling seeds from the winds.

8:24 am

harpjane

lol scrabbler, yes, i set most of them back an hour but I messed up when i was setting the one in the bedroom off. So we woke up with no clue about the time....

8:24 am

Aloyisius

black oiled sunflower seeds, judy?

8:24 am

harpjane

at least I'm not playing music in church today, i would have showed up an hour early!

8:25 am

CiociaJudy

In this window feeder, I have a chickadee mix with nuts and sunflower seeds. I have a hanging feeder on the deck with oiled sunflower seeds that I can't seem to keep filled!!!

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I totally forgot about the time change until I looked at the newspaper. Then it was a big "YES!" I would have showed up at the wrong time for Mass.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

My bird friends like the black oil sunflower seeds the best. And the squirrels like eating from the squirrel "proof" feeders--hanging upside down.

8:27 am

harpjane

this time of year's not as bad as the one in the spring, when you show up late! besides I can always use an extra hour of sleep

8:27 am

Aloyisius

well, I guess it is time for this bird nerd, word nerd, to get some breakfast vittles... have worked up an appetite.. nice chatting with you all.. see you tomorrow, hopefully: bye, Babblers!

8:27 am

CiociaJudy

I think "squirrel proof feeders" is just a selling gimmick!

8:27 am

CiociaJudy

bye aloy. have a great day.

it is a rectangle, of any size. some of the squares within the rectangle have numbers in them, and you have to draw rectangles around each number that have the area of that number, and figure out how to make all the rectangles fit together and not overlap.

9:48 pm

Jacula

chj - I was trying to be 'funny', but I've noticed many times that people get quizzed on their waking/sleeping hours - not by YOU, but by many. I was asking out of interest.

9:48 pm

evanonut

less than one, but yes...i strode out of the womb waving my terrible towl.

9:48 pm

purplepufff

Thanks for your help everyone. Good evening! Be back for the flip.

9:52 pm

evanonut

*smoochie smoochie* at jac

9:52 pm

Jacula

Nut - Oh, right - re the towl. I know nothing of US sports. That's why I usually amble off to play WebBoggle or something if the discussions of such are on here.

9:53 pm

evanonut

i wish our football would gain international popularity

9:53 pm

Jacula

Mind you, WebBoggle must be one of the most unstable sites I've ever played on.:(

9:53 pm

Jacula

Not the people, the site! It wobbles frequently.

9:53 pm

chj

you eman top hurler on your track team

9:54 pm

sunny09

sunny - hang on and I'll post the address for you.

9:54 pm

evanonut

9:55 pm

Jacula

9:55 pm

sunny09

thanks Jacula.

9:56 pm

Jacula

y/w, sunny.

10:01 pm

Jacula

ni6/30 is a very silly extension of ni4/7! I've never heard it used in everyday conversation.

10:02 pm

Jacula

ni4/7 is a familiar word to me from the evening hymn... 'Now the day is over, night is drawing ni4/7; shadows of the evening fall across the sky...'

10:03 pm

sunny09

were you a girl scout ?

10:03 pm

Jacula

sunny - I was a girl guide for a short time, but the hymns I learned through going to a Church school (both infants and juniors).

10:04 pm

Jacula

We had to sing the evening hymn after we'd tidied up, put our chairs atop our desks and before we could all charge out and go home.

10:04 pm

sunny09

oh. we sang a similar song to close our guide sessions.

10:04 pm

Anniebrook

10:06 pm

Jacula

Annie - Hi. fr5/16 is the plural of the bit of membrane that holds your tongue down, and also is present on the male foreskin.

10:07 pm

Jacula

ge4/6, Annie, is an abbreviated man who is polite.

10:07 pm

Jacula

(Think men's toilets, Annie, and remove the plural letter!)

10:07 pm

Anniebrook

10:13 pm

evanonut

10:13 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that Jacula -- is it any nicer at home?

10:13 pm

stidmama

hi nut!

10:13 pm

FranMag

stid, apparently my fr**um was attached too high on my tongue and it lacked mobility

10:14 pm

Jacula

63 miles from home... the water was totally different, the prices were for Americans and the locals were very friendly.

10:14 pm

evanonut

hi stidsterammera!

10:14 pm

stidmama

oh -- glad they could fix it... (it is fixed now, right?) were you little when they did that?

10:14 pm

Jacula

FranMag - known in the medical profession as 'tongue-tied'.

10:15 pm

FranMag

when the dentist recommended the surgery, i had a little sore on it from when my boyfriend at the time had, er..."pulled" it a little too vigorously.

10:15 pm

evanonut

jac, what's prices were for americans mean??

10:15 pm

FranMag

10:16 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

10:16 pm

Jacula

You also have a frenulum attaching your top lip to your top gum. I have a biggish gap (like Madonna) between my two top, middle teeth. They wanted to cut the lip join to 'cure' it. I said, 'NO!'

10:16 pm

stidmama

hello Min! doing well tonight. yourself?

10:16 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

10:17 pm

FranMag

10:18 pm

evanonut

up and moving, fully recovered from my laughing fit, thank you fran

10:18 pm

Anniebrook

hi harp

10:18 pm

Jacula

nut - 'prices for Americans' means that the place, in high season' is full of visitors from the US who have, or seem to have, for more 'disposable income' than many here in UK have. In other words, sky high prices to fleece the visitors.

10:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

Hi, all - I finished earlier but thought I'd come hang out for a few.

10:19 pm

harpjane

hi tea

10:19 pm

Minveryork

I need clues Harpjane! Like I just said still have a lot of words left.Can I start with the te 7/36 clue please

10:19 pm

stidmama

yep. they do the same thing in the US Jacula -- "tourist traps" are notorious for extra-high prices on everything. (which is why we don't go to a lot of the "must see" attractions)

10:19 pm

stidmama

hi TEa!

10:19 pm

FranMag

hi TnC!

10:20 pm

stidmama

Which reminds me... I want to take the kids to the Tacoma Art Museum again (we're members) -- there is an Eric Carle exhibit I want them to see.

10:20 pm

stidmama

oh, tea.... {{{hugging little girl}}} *offers Tea and cookies to the mama-type*

10:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:23 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need the first ha 6/27 word if you have it.

10:23 pm

stidmama

My mother (stidgmere) teaches in Tenino... not familiar with Washtucna (though I know the name)

10:23 pm

Jacula

Minver - ha6/27is a Scottish word for having.

10:23 pm

FranMag

min, take the last letter off the ha4/6, then add an "action" verb ending.

10:23 pm

stidmama

ha 6/27, first three letters of previous word + "gerund" end***

10:24 pm

TeaNCrackers

Washtucna is tiny - we were there in July - had to stay in Ritzville as there are no hotels in Washtucna. We drove up in a day, stayed a day and drive back in a day - what a drive!

10:24 pm

FranMag

thanks jac, wasn't sure what it meant.

10:24 pm

stidmama

wow Tea -- hope it was worth the drive with two little ones! LOL I don't mind driving now the kids are older, but back then...

10:25 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have a clue for the ha 4/5 word please

10:26 pm

Anniebrook

good night to all you lovely babblers!!!!

10:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

my aunt passed away, my mom had to get back to work, I had surgery scheduled for the day after we got back it was a cluster. We drove up on Cracker's first birthday. I am so happy that we got the DVD player in the car, it sure helped!

10:26 pm

stidmama

good night, Annie, sweet dreams!

10:26 pm

Jacula

Fran - just clicked on your icon. That show (fronted by Cilla Black) ended here in UK some years ago. It was just awful in the end! The only fun to be had was when they did the 'oldies' shows; the honesty, but politeness, of the older folks. The young daters' shows just got rude and embarrassing.

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I need the first ha 4/5 word if you have it.

10:26 pm

TeaNCrackers

night, annie

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Anniebrook! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

Jacula

10:27 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:27 pm

FranMag

jac, most of the dates are pretty raunchy here too, but the comments they make about the couple are fun to watch.

10:27 pm

stidmama

oh Tea, I am so sorry -- what a trial that must have been! {{{tea}}}

10:27 pm

FranMag

okay, gotta go help make dinner, see you all in a bit!

10:27 pm

stidmama

later Fran!

10:27 pm

TeaNCrackers

that's my hubby's guilty pleasure, too - I love the cartoon bubbles - it cracks me up.

10:28 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye FranMag! Enjoy your dinner. See you later!

10:28 pm

Jacula

'Bye Fran.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the he 7/52 word please

10:29 pm

TeaNCrackers

Thanks, stid. The kids were actually pretty good. My Dad is by far the baby and this aunt took over as grandma to my sister and me when my Grandma died years ago. Her two sons are the same age as my dad, so she was really a second mother to him. I really wanted to be there for my dad more than anything and it was good to see the extended family.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the ha clues.Finished my ha words now

10:30 pm

TeaNCrackers

add the gerund ending to the he 4/8 before it, minver

10:30 pm

stidmama

10:31 pm

Minveryork

Thank you stidmama for the clue.I finished he words!

10:31 pm

Jacula

he7 - heaving a heavy weight upwards.

10:31 pm

stidmama

10:32 pm

TeaNCrackers

It's hard with both of my parents being the youngest in their family. Most of our cousins are years older than us. I have two cousins on dad's side that are older than my dad, their kids are older than me, etc.

10:32 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have a clue for the ti 6/27 word please

10:32 pm

TeaNCrackers

past tense of the ti 5/14 prior, Minver

10:32 pm

stidmama

I have known other people in similar situations. A friend of mine had a niece who was 6 mos older in our high school!

10:33 pm

Jacula

Minver - ti6/27 is an extension of the ti5/14 (slight colour hue) before it.

10:34 pm

Minveryork

Thank Jacula for the ti clue. I finished ti words now!

10:34 pm

TeaNCrackers

My dad's oldest sister celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary the year my dad turned 45 and I turned 21 - it was interesting to say the least.

10:34 pm

TeaNCrackers

go, Minver, go!

10:35 pm

stidmama

LOL! wow... I can't even imagine a family that stretched out!

10:35 pm

Jacula

y/w. Minver.

10:35 pm

Minveryork

Are the re words real words.If so, I'll try them w/out clues. I do not want to keep interrupting your chats.

10:36 pm

stidmama

Min -- I at least am chatting to fill time waiting to give clues. A lot of the RE words are regular babblets.

10:36 pm

Jacula

Minver - please ask for clues as and when you need them! Don't worry about 'interrupting'!

10:36 pm

stidmama

the first RE 6/24 is an anagram of the second... which is latin for "queen"

10:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

There all over the place Min, I don't mind clueing!

10:36 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:37 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:37 pm

Jacula

10:38 pm

stidmama

10:38 pm

TeaNCrackers

and the re 8 is the past tense of Jac's clue

10:39 pm

Jacula

TeaNCrackers

stidmama

good night Tea -- I'll probbably be gone when you return

10:47 pm

Jacula

I'll go to bed soon... when te8/55 in house stop crashing around. Mind you, Other Half is due up for work in 15 mins... will go after that, I guess.

Minveryork

Actually, I need the first re 6/24 word if you have it.

10:51 pm

Jacula

Minver - 2nd re5/14 = re + 1st 3 letters of the time after the sun goes down.

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello pdb! How are you doing? Did you finish this grid?

11:21 pm

Jacula

I have a friend, Helen, who's been known as 'Hell' for 25 years in our 'set'. LOL.

11:21 pm

pdb

Minver, I need that fe 5/16 too.

11:21 pm

Angelakk

The fe 5/16 is a boxing move to avoid your opponent's blow.

11:21 pm

helenkeller

hiya pdb!

11:21 pm

Ankhorite

Great icon, Helen. And "hella" in German means "light" -- so it's not a bad nickname.

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Good luck helenkeller finishing the grid. It is easy to get half of the words. Then you may need some clues.

11:22 pm

helenkeller

jac - that's pretty cool - always so swell to have friends for so long - i, too, have a group of girlfriends all the way since grammar school

11:23 pm

Minveryork

Sorry Angelakk,but not getting your boxing clue yet.

11:23 pm

tx ankh - lol, but in english it means horrendous torture for eternity - i like your def much better

11:23 pm

Min, sounds like passing out.

11:23 pm

It's similar to the fe 5/20 if you have that.

11:23 pm

Minveryork

Never mind! I just got the fe 5/16 word. Thank you!

11:24 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the fe 6/33 word please?

11:24 pm

11:26 pm

Ankhorite

Is the gh5,18 a common word? Don't clue me (yet), just tell me, is this a normal word?

11:27 pm

Jacula

fe6/33 - celebrating.

11:28 pm

pdb

Ank, I only have two left to find, and that gh is one of them. Sorry to be of no help.

11:28 pm

Jacula

Ankh - no, not a normal word unless you have entered the Ganges via some steps.

11:29 pm

Ankhorite

Thanks, PDB. Aha! Hmm. Got it, Jac.

11:29 pm

Jacula

(Sounds like a toe complaint caused by too much build up of uric acid crystals... usually found in old men with a habit of drinking too much port)

11:29 pm

Ankhorite

Okay, PDB, you know that q-drug qh__ ? It's like that.

11:30 pm

Minveryork

Anhhorite,can I have a clue for the gh word. Monkey is not working right now. I tried all different combos.

11:30 pm

Ankhorite

Nope, PDB, hang on, I'm not getting it right.

11:30 pm

Jacula

But, Hell - you understand the British sense of humour and know the nickname is meant in love and fun?

11:30 pm

pdb

Got it - my internet connection is acting hinky tonigt. Big delays.

11:30 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the de 7/44 word please

11:31 pm

helenkeller

okay - i've made it exactly 1/2 way - am going to call up lickety now & run through that & then start asking

11:31 pm

Ankhorite

Sheesh, finally... Jacula's clue is good, but let me try again. What if a GHost wore h***e coture?

11:31 pm

Jacula

Hell - I have old grammar school friends, too. We met up about a month ago.. again. It was for a play one of us was soloing in. Great fun!

11:31 pm

pdb

Ankhor - great clue.

11:32 pm

helenkeller

jacula - hell no! i never get the british sense of humor, lol, like fawlty towers, didn't like it, monty python, not so much either - but on the bright side, i totally love alan rickman, he's a brit, but not so funny, actually not funny at all

11:34 pm

Love Monty Python, as does my 13 year old son.

11:34 pm

helenkeller

11:34 pm

helenkeller

ankh - same here

11:35 pm

Ankhorite

And I'm mad at the brits for the reality show "Lad to Lady" or whatever it was. Ladette. They picked the WRONG woman, very very cruel! Picked Titsy McGiggles over the REAL lady, just because the RL was tall!

11:35 pm

Jacula

gh word - g + h4/6 cuisine.

11:35 pm

helenkeller

*hk stops with the chatting NOW, starts concentrating on grid again NOW*

11:35 pm

OK, Ankhorite, no clue what Lad to Lady is, but laughing at Titsy McGiggles.

11:38 pm

Jacula

de4/8 - sounds like to ignore the voice of authority.

11:38 pm

Ankhorite

PDB, glad you liked description. "Ladette" is what the Brits (apparently) call a severe adult tomboy. The "ladettes" of the show were among the crudest women I have ever seen in my life; but some, like the one who should have one, merely had "mannish" jobs, like truck driver.

11:38 pm

Duval

thnx pdb!

Good night, min.

Gosh, I got SO peeved about it! It was SO nasty and unfair! I'm annoyed that Jeffrey the Slug won Project Runway, but I am *incensed* that the real lady lost out to the bubbly ditz! There was MONEY involved! And... and... oh, well. :(

11:42 pm

Jacula

Ankh - I wanted Kate to win, too, but, have to admit that Victoria did overcome more obstacles to win. The principal of the finishing school bore an uncanny resemblance to my deputy head from grammar school (even down to the too-bright lipstick and the sulky mouth - not Elvis style sulky!).

11:42 pm

11:44 pm

Jacula

However, I was taught to be 'a lady' at school and by my family, as were many females up to about the 1990's in UK. A lady is not a man in drag. If you meet a lady, you'll just know.

11:44 pm

Jacula

Ladettes are the result of girls not being taught how to be girls.

11:45 pm

Ankhorite

Some of those women -- and I've worked in prisons -- just appalled me. I felt they HAD to be faking it, but then, no, it seemed real... right down to the alcohol.

11:45 pm

Ankhorite

Whoa, I need some clues here

Ankh - far too many loud ladettes 'getting theit tits out for the boys' and falling over drunk in gutters here in UK now. Sad to say.

11:47 pm

Jacula

Clues now... fe 5/16 = ruled paper with blue lines?

11:47 pm

Jacula

(Sounds like a swoon.)

11:47 pm

helenkeller

jac - seriously? what is it mardi gras every day over there? methinks you're kinda exaggerating

11:47 pm

Ankhorite

Tch! Here, all our female halloween costumes now, even for pre-teens, seem to focus on being as slutty and whore-like as possible. And I mean that literally: they offer matching pimp & ho costumes.

11:47 pm

pdb

Fe 5/16 sounds like to swoon or pass out.

I haven't finished a grid in at least two weeks, maybe more. Certainly at least that, because we had a foster dog for those two weeks. She got adopted yesterday by rich people, so as long as she doesn't escape and kill any more cats... she should have a great life.
