12:38 am

jesdraggon

if it helps, the word makes a circle around the e it starts on

12:39 am

jesdraggon

which is very appropriate, since the word means to become encased in a (usually spherical) protective covering.

Atalante

I have special cotton baubles. Cat proof

4:41 am

Cat9x

Plus I just took in "the old man", thats what I call him, apparently abandoned, who could be so cruel! He is starved for attention, poor thing, so I give it whenever he needs it.

4:41 am

Atalante

poor darling!

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Atalante

I always have cotton covered baubles and home-made pompoms for the cat-reachable branches, then half decent bauables nearer the top

4:41 am

Cat9x

I know, who could do that, especially to an ol cat, breaks my heart!

4:42 am

Cat9x

The vet estimated over 10 years

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Oh poor baby you going to keep him

4:42 am

Atalante

grrrrrrr

4:43 am

Cat9x

He was found in my neighborhood, dump city, I trapped him, and when was time to release, I realized he was not feral, but a pet that had been abandoned, so I figured, whats one more? :)

4:43 am

Cat9x

Yes, he is mine, forever.

4:44 am

4:47 am

Atalante

4:47 am

Cat9x

Yes Herin, they are adopted by a local rescue group, but, the old ones, no one wants, so they have a forever home, with me

4:48 am

herinfernallady

OH pfft i love kitties , mine is a rescue

There is a serious vowel deficiency in the grid. This one looks intimidating.

7:07 am

Inge2

funny how the brain blocks out certain letter combos

7:08 am

Inge2

It's not bad Uni. But I'm stuck on the last 8 (no list though)

7:09 am

scarydeb

not bad Uni - I went to list at 12

7:09 am

Uniquity

That's good! Except for the stuck part...I have to use list today, have a paper due tomorrow that I must write.

7:09 am

May you find some amusing words to use in your paper, Uni. :)

ep8

7:13 am

Merk

oooo, ty, is there a clue to it?

7:14 am

Anniebrook

ep 8---same gender

7:14 am

Aloyisius

prefix for "on top of" + another word for theater but change the second vowel

7:14 am

Inge2

it sounds like either a geological epoch or the place where an earthquake originates, but means something totatlly different

7:14 am

Aloyisius

oops, first vowel, sorry

7:14 am

Aloyisius

(in the theater word)

7:15 am

Aloyisius

perhaps I should get my coffee before I attempt to clue, lol.. brb

7:16 am

Aloyisius

ep8 is a plural, so we are cluing ep7

7:16 am

Merk

I am looking up theater in my thesaurus and not finding an 'ep' word

7:17 am

Aloyisius

no, no... the last part of the word.. like **** Max theaters?

7:18 am

EmaMaria

ty Inge - got it

7:18 am

Aloyisius

you add that to the prefix for "on top of", like your skin is your ***derm

7:18 am

Merk

8:29 am

NonoNanette

Scarlet, I am glad you have enjoyed the videos, I tried to keep them light and entertaining for the most part

8:30 am

Scarlet

That's the best part, Nono... some of them are way tooooo long... these are smart, fast and clever. Thank you!

8:32 am

Scarlet

Nono, lately, FMitch has made some suggestions for Icon Themes... very nice ones, too. I wish I could see her to scold me for Dr. Hawking... but, I have an answer for this theme: Place you want to visit... My response: ANYWHERE that Stephen Hawking is! LOL

8:32 am

carleekat

The BIG game is tonight,kattie...when New England, unbeaten and feeling very vulnerable after two hard games the past two weeks... goes to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.

8:36 am

8:39 am

carleekat

go steelers...

8:40 am

NonoNanette

woohoooooo go steelers beat them patriots!!

8:40 am

Scarlet

I just want to see a great game... of course, an unbeaten year hasn't been achieved since 35 years ago when the Miami Dolphins did it, so, whatever happens, wowzer! LOL Nono!

8:40 am

carleekat

8:41 am

8:41 am

Scarlet

*Hugs dear* Go, football!! LOL

8:41 am

NonoNanette

agreed scarlet I would much prefer a good game with a close score than a blowout

8:41 am

Scarlet

NO, kat... they won the Super Bowl

8:41 am

carleekat

i thought that the year dan marino was on and lost..oh well

8:42 am

dan2bit

no marino was much later

8:42 am

dan2bit

hi all!

8:42 am

Scarlet

Nono... the Patriots have had some real scares the past two weeks... first the Eagles were sooooo close, and then last week, the Baltimore Ravens came thisclose.... no, kat, this was before Dan Marino...

8:42 am

carleekat

ok..well..gone..neighburs here any min

8:42 am

angelinaxox

just emailed lickety and thanks again

8:42 am

angelinaxox

hi dan

8:43 am

NonoNanette

last weeks game was very good

8:43 am

angelinaxox

bye carle

8:43 am

Scarlet

What a heart-stopper, Nono...

8:43 am

NonoNanette

i didnt see the philly - NE game

8:44 am

angelinaxox

i watched them, i'm from eagles territory but i am a patriots fan too because my nephews love them

8:44 am

Scarlet

The Ravens gave it to them on a silver platter, Nono... THREE fourth downs and then, 35 yards assessed on three penalties... it was ALMOST one heck of an ending with the Hail Mary as the time ticked off the clock... what a game.

8:45 am

angelinaxox

yes it was

8:45 am

NonoNanette

The Bills are my favorite team...... I know they suck this year..... but I have 2 fantasy teams that I manage and I was up against someone who had Brady and Moss last week it got pretty tense there at the end LOL

8:45 am

angelinaxox

and with that bye all, hagd, see ya tomorrow

8:45 am

NonoNanette

bye bye angelina

8:47 am

Scarlet

You know, Nono... I wondered why Donte' Stallworth wasn't used more last week... Brady to Welker, to Moss to just about anybody... that team is just superb... but getting tired... Bellichek seems to be just a tad frayed around the edges...

8:48 am

Scarlet

Bye angelina... Have a wonderful Sunday! Nice seeing you~!

8:48 am

NonoNanette

I think they are trying to hard to stay unbeaten and it is wearing on them all

8:49 am

NonoNanette

with each game the pressure has to be increasing

8:49 am

Scarlet

You might have it right on that one, Nono... perfection is difficult... and if I were the defensive coordinator, I would have kicked some serious butt the past two weeks... the pocket is dissolving around Brady, and he is getting eaten alive../

8:50 am

NonoNanette

he has taken a lot of sacks the last couple of weeks

8:50 am

Scarlet

And I was slack-jawed at how much turf the Ravens were able to eat up throughout the entire game...

8:51 am

emusing

hi, everyone. i just have to jump on this football talk--i am a diehard steeler fan. and am so excited about the game w the undefeatd pats. we are gonna bring em down!

8:51 am

NonoNanette

without a good offensive line he's all but on his own and he can't keep scrambling every play

8:51 am

NonoNanette

yes it was amazing scarlet

8:52 am

Scarlet

Hi, emusing... another football fan!! Come'on in!! I want a good game, and this is going to be super, tonight!!

8:52 am

NonoNanette

emusing, I would like to see that happen too but as I said before I just want to see a good game!

8:53 am

dan2bit

emusing my brother-in-law (born and raised in pittsburgh) will be at the stadium. Hope he survives!

8:53 am

pabtrek

exactly emusing, Steelers rule!

8:53 am

dan2bit

8:54 am

Scarlet

Good morning, pabtrek... It's a Steelers party!! Yes, dan.

8:54 am

pabtrek

Morning, Scarlet

8:54 am

emusing

I am sure this game will be really good! we will have our steeler 'shrine' up for the game.

8:54 am

Scarlet

We moved from NE Pennsylvania two years ago, and everything was Eagles, Eagles, Eagles... gag... the ONLY good team in the Commonwealth is the Pittsburgh wonderboys!! :-)

8:55 am

emusing

and then the indy/ravens game should be pretty good too

8:55 am

emusing

you are right, scarlet!

8:55 am

pabtrek

Yes, very exciting football happening today

8:58 am

Scarlet

Yep! This is why I suffer all season long... to see December football at its most crucial!! Yahoo for NFL fans!!

8:59 am

emusing

i get sad when the season is over. not to knock baseball but baseball is kinda boring -- and my husband is a pirate fan, goes to games all the time. snore fest for me.

9:00 am

pabtrek

the only time I get excited about baseball is around the time of the World Series

9:00 am

godthaab

How many words today?

9:00 am

pabtrek

78

9:00 am

Scarlet

I have a really lame joke about that, emusing... Baseball is my husband and Football is my lover, and Hockey is my out-of-wedlock child... LOL

NonoNanette

9:01 am

pabtrek

9:01 am

emusing

9:02 am

Scarlet

pabtrek... I watch approximately two baseball games a day during the whole season (averaging it out) and just love it for exactly the reason you snore... it is leisurely, exciting, and like football, you never know... on any given day... what will happen, or who will winn

9:05 am

Scarlet

Oh, wow! It's raining!! At last! We have been so dry, and there have been several arson fires in town lately... this is such a gift!

9:06 am

pabtrek

that's great Scarlet, hope you get enough rain, but not too much at one time

9:06 am

emusing

gotta go for now. go steelers!

9:06 am

pabtrek

bye emusing

9:07 am

Scarlet

Must feed beloved! See you all later, and I can't wait to see these games today... you are so right, pab... I have had water issues my entire life... speaking of which... the Pittsburgh field better be in good shape this week!!

9:07 am

Scarlet

Later, emusing!\

9:07 am

Hello everyone. This small grid means.....housecleaning!

Krista

Hi Min!

Minveryork

Hello Scrabbler! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

9:52 am

Scrabbler

I am not sure how it works--but it is a kick in the fanny to take a turn

9:52 am

Krista

that sounds wonderful, especially on a yucky day like today, Min

9:52 am

Minveryork

To me this small grid means I can practice cluing skills

9:52 am

Minveryork

NOTHING means house cleaning to me Scrabbler!LOL!

9:52 am

Scrabbler

I played all of my Scrabble turns already and am getting murdlerized in a few games.

9:53 am

Krista

Uniquity was saying she wishes it would send reminders to do her turn, Scrabs. I said I would "nudge" her now and then, but wanted to tell her what to look for.

9:53 am

Scrabbler

But I must remove the dust, Min, LOL

9:53 am

Krista

I did that yesterday and am paying for it, allergy-wise. Think it's better to let sleeping dust lie.

9:54 am

Minveryork

I hope they will remove themsevles one day Scrabbler

9:54 am

Scrabbler

I have lots to do--vacuum, do laundry, scrub the kitchen floor, take care of the bunnies' litter boxes and rooms, etc

rumplestiltskin

10:08 am

Minveryork

Congrats to your daughter rumpelstiltskin. Hooray!!

10:08 am

Minveryork

Hi 72 Temple Owl!How are you doing?Welcome to grid

10:08 am

rumplestiltskin

I raise Scottish Highland cattle, the best beef in the world, (the Queen's beef) and also have Scottish Deerhounds. Would you guess my husband is Scottish. We have been there many times and love it.

10:09 am

bbnaz

10:09 am

Krista

Hi TO!

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

10:09 am

Krista

Hi BB..slept in this morning, huh?

10:09 am

Atalante

the book looks lovely, rumple. she illustrated it as well?

10:09 am

Atalante

one day atalante will be in the grid, TO!

10:09 am

bbnaz

I live in the desert stilts and don't think the breed would like it much here...........we are more suited to the warmer climed breeds

10:10 am

Krista

Are they the cattle with the bold black and white stripes?

10:10 am

rumplestiltskin

Yes, she did all the art work, hand lettering and all. Nice children's book, just before Christmas too

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

evil msn is botting me - must restart

10:10 am

bbnaz

Yes Krista. The high school football team won the state championship last night and so it was a late bedtime.

10:10 am

Minveryork

This is an early start for me. I usually don't get on 'til after 8:00 at night. No hurry to finish since it is small

10:10 am

rumplestiltskin

Krista, no they are solid red with long hair and long horns.

10:11 am

Atalante

biiiiiiiiiiig horns

10:11 am

Minveryork

My mom's writing a book too, but it is not a kid book.

10:12 am

rumplestiltskin

She built her own website too and is going to help me rebuild mine when she gets back from a book signing tour in Georgia. Had to rub it in that it was in the 70's there today when it is 19 here.

10:13 am

Krista

OH yes...I know the ones. Of course...I'm trying to think where I saw a stuffed animal one of those recently...in a catalog, I think.

10:13 am

Atalante

I should get my first book illustrations in print in about May

10:14 am

Krista

THat's exciting for your team, BB! Bet the kids are over the moon.

10:14 am

rumplestiltskin

That's great Atalante

10:15 am

Atalante

in a book on dragonlore :D

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

10:15 am

Atalante

10:15 am

Atalante

:D

10:16 am

Krista

The Belted Galloway is the breed I was thinking of.

10:16 am

Krista

Will we get a sneak preview of the illustrations, Ata?

10:16 am

bbnaz

back from looking at very intriguing book. Good for your daughter Stilts!

10:17 am

Krista

What is the topic of your mother's book, Min?

10:17 am

Atalante

unfortunately not. it'll all be secret and copyright the publishers until publication

10:17 am

Krista

AH, too bad. :)

10:17 am

bbnaz

and yes Krista, they were over the moon and it was a terrific game right up to the end. Two years ago the school won in the last 90 seconds and only by one point. Fortunately whilst close this time, not quite the nail biter.

10:18 am

Atalante

but I'll be able to show you big size versions etc once its published, I think

10:18 am

bbnaz

thank goodness small grid today. handbell concert tonight (as it is, I am missing choir at church this a.m.)

10:18 am

Krista

I was going to ask you if the weather cooperated, BB, but remembered you said you're in the desert.

10:19 am

rolin

does anyone have and can clue the en8 pls

10:19 am

bbnaz

it was held at the NFL team's indoor stadium which was quite LARGE and the field looked waaaay bigger than its true dimension

10:19 am

bbnaz

and we have been getting rain for the past few days which is always nice.

10:20 am

Minveryork

My mom is writing an educational book about how to teach writing to students. I guess it is for teachers.

10:20 am

Krista

my 6-year old Eric just counted to 10 in Korean for me (from Tae Kwan Do)..he kept telling me he didn't know how...so cute

10:20 am

Minveryork

en 8/60 is the past tense of en 6/27 which builds off the cy 4/7 word rolin.

10:21 am

rolin

ty minver

10:21 am

Atalante

Eric is an unusual name for kids these days. Good unusual though!

10:21 am

Minveryork

yw

10:21 am

bbnaz

the only book in me is not one that will see the light of day. not enough of an audience.

10:22 am

Krista

I'm sure there's a great need for a book of that nature, Min.

10:22 am

Krista

After naming my daugher Kielen, we wanted something people could pronounce. :)

10:23 am

Krista

Thanks, Ata.

10:23 am

bbnaz

Ki lynn?

10:23 am

bbnaz

or kee lyn?

10:23 am

Minveryork

Yes,they could sure use it in my school where I teach

10:23 am

Atalante

Kielen isa gorgeous name!

10:24 am

Krista

The latter, bb..like KEY-lin. But boy, can people butcher it. My favorite is when they call her Killian (like the beer)

10:25 am

bbnaz

well how difficult is C L A R A?

10:25 am

Krista

Thanks, Ata..it's supposed to be Irish, but I never heard of anyone names that except a basketball player (an African American man)! lol

10:25 am

bbnaz

you cannot imagine how many different ways other than the correct way it can be (mis)pronounced

10:26 am

Atalante

It certainly *sounds* Irish, Krista

10:26 am

bbnaz

let alone younger sister K I N N E Y

10:26 am

bbnaz

and as Kinney has down syndrome, one of the hardest sounds to make is the "k" sound so she couldn't say her own or her sister's name for the longest time

10:26 am

Krista

Oh yes I can imagine, BB! LOL!

10:27 am

Atalante

everyone can manage to pronounce Becky. But as for my surname, maybe about 1/50 spell it right

10:27 am

bbnaz

well Kinney just resolved it by calling her sister SISSY and still does to this day.

10:28 am

Krista

Those are lovely names, BB! Did she use a 't' sound instead of K? Hey- sissy works. :)

10:28 am

Krista

my sister had a French teacher with your last name, Ata..I think it should be easy to spell, but as we've found..if there's a way to butcher a name, people will find it

10:29 am

rolin

de6/27..does anyone ahve it

10:29 am

rolin

de6/27..does anyone ahve it

10:29 am

Atalante

it *should* be easy. But OH NO

10:29 am

bbnaz

nope, her speech really didn't get rolling until 5 so we signed quite a bit.

10:29 am

Atalante

Hitchen, Hitching, Hitchens, HItchings, Hitchman. You name it

10:29 am

bbnaz

hey Ata -- they are starting to run commercials for your cause here in the states. I never thought about it until I read your profile and now "voila" I am seeing it emerge.

10:30 am

Krista

The one client of mine with DS always calls me a "stinky turtle" in sign. :) I love her.

10:30 am

Minveryork

de 6/27 is de + I take a ****ure with my camera rolin.

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i looked for your cause for our united way campaign charitable giving..didn't see it

10:30 am

Scrabbler

I am back from my breakfast of a PB & J sandwich. May I have help with the F words? i.e. the ones on the grid, LOL

10:30 am

rolin

tch.... of course...ty minver

10:30 am

Atalante

oh really, bb? thats fantastic!

10:31 am

bbnaz

TO -- I believe that Tampax is running a campaign whilst promoting their product

10:31 am

Minveryork

yw

10:31 am

Krista

Lol, Scrabbler. Darn, I had some other ones for you.

10:31 am

Atalante

I've only ever heard about it being passed on by word of mouth etc. Thats wonderful!

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

yes i saw that. however, did not see dignity anywhere.

10:31 am

Minveryork

fy 4/10 is fy plus Epcot **nter Scrabbler and plural it.

10:31 am

bbnaz

We don't sign much anymore Krista. She is 14 and quite verbal...who would have ever thought in the beginning that I would wish that she would be still.

10:31 am

Krista

Maybe you can find the ad on the 'net, ata.

10:32 am

bbnaz

Well maybe it isn't Dignity proper but still the same focus. Hey, I was just pleased to know it was an issue as I was oblivious to it. If you make them think, then they will act.

10:32 am

Scrabbler

TY, Min

10:33 am

Minveryork

yw

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Is there just one EQ word?

10:33 am

bbnaz

thank you for the fy and the de words!

10:33 am

Krista

I can understand that, bb! My daughter had a speech delay - didn't speak much until almost 4 (Aspberger's). As they say, she made up for it!

10:33 am

Atalante

same focus is good! its such a basic need, and so degrading not to have sanitary wear. and something people just would *not* think of

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i am stumped at 16 to go.... : /

10:33 am

bbnaz

Movieman has Aspberger's I believe

10:33 am

Minveryork

Yes Scrabbler, there is only one eq word and it's real.

10:34 am

Minveryork

I'm here to help clue 72 Temple Owl. What do ya need

10:34 am

Scrabbler

OK, Min. I have the eq word but need 2 more E words from that top E.

10:34 am

Krista

Yes, he does.

10:35 am

Minveryork

There is an ep 4/5 word & an ep 5/12 word Scrabbler

10:35 am

bbnaz

and I have very good friends from choir who the hubby has it and was an md for over 30 years although one of their sons is quite impacted by it.

10:35 am

Scrabbler

I have those, Min.

10:35 am

Krista

I'll take a clue for the eq word, please!

10:36 am

bbnaz

funny thing about differabilities, once you have one, you see them successful everywhere

10:36 am

bbnaz

farm eq***ment

10:36 am

Minveryork

The eq 5/18 word is e plus the qu 4/8 word Krista.

10:36 am

Scrabbler

Krista === e + qu4

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

have what?

10:36 am

Krista

That's is comforting for me to hear stories like that, BB, thank you. She has a mild version, but I still worry a lot about her future. They say a girl on Next Top Model has it. I keep forgetting to watch.

10:37 am

Minveryork

There's an ep 4/6 word that's sort of curvy Scrabbler

10:37 am

bbnaz

she finally was sent home but she was tall willowy and quite pretty

10:37 am

bbnaz

10:38 am

Krista

Minveryork

Scrabbler do you want clues for ep 7/36 and ep 8/50?

10:40 am

inge

yes, I once read a dialog between Lickety and Movieman about the symptoms, etc

10:41 am

Scrabbler

In my practice I have several Asperger Syndrome kids---very bright and I thoroughly enjoy talking with them---they have a fascinating way of viewing the world, in almost an advanced manner compared to us "regular" folks.

10:41 am

Krista

I've chatted with MovieMan a few times and aw that in his profile.

10:41 am

bbnaz

Krista, if you scroll through my flickr photos on my profile, you will see Kinney. Anniebrook has an older son with ds but she hasn't learned how to post a photo yet.

10:41 am

Scrabbler

OK, Mi, those are the ones I need then

10:41 am

Minveryork

ep7/36 is ep4/6 plus vowel plus half a hawaiian goose

10:42 am

Minveryork

ep 8/50 is plural of that ep7/36 word I clued for you.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

Ty for those ep clues--top E is done now. 24 to go.

10:42 am

Krista

My daughter is that typical kid, Scrabbler (actually has PDD-NOS, but Asperger's is more recognized by most).

11:10 am

bbnaz

I won a quarter off him in a bet. He had a home where my gran had one (Smoke Tree Ranch) and he would lawn bowl with my great uncle (hence the bet) and his home was on the same street as my gran. He was really a terrific man in his personal life.

Thank you for the word total. I assume when there are so few vowel choices that it must be small.

11:42 am

12:23 pm

12:23 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Uniquity--you finished, that is all that matters.

12:23 pm

stidmama

12:23 pm

Uniquity

I haven't been new for a long time...:(
Oh well, this makes time for paper writing

12:24 pm

phaeton

wtg, Uni

12:24 pm

Scrabbler

The E, second column--what is the 2nd ltr please?

12:24 pm

stidmama

you can do it Uniquity... after babbling, a paper should seem easier

12:24 pm

stidmama

I think that's the EN combo

12:25 pm

Uniquity

As long as I understand it right, it would be a P

12:25 pm

stidmama

actually, it has to be the ENs because those are what I need and it's my only untouched E tile

12:26 pm

Scrabbler

Phantom = entice

12:26 pm

Dorens

hi again. down to 15 and not sure if I should go for the list...how weird are the words?

12:26 pm

Scrabbler

Do NOT try entice, I am warning you, LOL

12:26 pm

Uniquity

Stats panels drive me nuts..specially cuz i don't remember how to work them, it's been so long

12:26 pm

Scrabbler

I do not have the list out either, Doren.

12:26 pm

Uniquity

i tried entice so many times...

12:26 pm

Scrabbler

15 to go for me too, Doren.

12:26 pm

stidmama

so many words just aren't quite there today

12:27 pm

stidmama

so... EN please?

12:27 pm

Uniquity

en + c4

12:27 pm

Uniquity

then build off that for the 8

12:27 pm

Dorens

do y ou have the cy 4 yet stid?

12:27 pm

Scrabbler

Combine that with a not-quite-there brain and that is why I am not done yet

12:27 pm

Dorens

12:27 pm

stidmama

yep. like a fatty tumor that is benign

2:56 pm

jillibus

yeah, since money is a little tight this year, most of our gifts are handmade (painted pottery) and we are stressing fun + uniqueness more than expensive gifts

2:59 pm

Minveryork

I used to spend over 100 dollars on stocking stuffers.

2:59 pm

The past few years, I have cut it down and this year I am cutting it out all together. We are going to get just one big present that we both need for the house

3:00 pm

EvaNadine

jill -- i agree -- i dont mind spending money on my loved ones, but im more concerned with etting a nice gift that fits them. even if it comes from the dollar store!

3:00 pm

blueruin

it's what's behind the presents - the feelings of the people - that should count, not the obects themselves

3:00 pm

jillibus

blue, that's a new one to me -- please translate!

3:00 pm

blueruin

if I learned one thing from this site, it is that it really really helps to connect to people in a virtual way. I can FEEL the support, however far you are all away from me in real life.

4:38 pm

MLFAN17

4:38 pm

sprite

4:44 pm

MLFAN17

i just got two more by guessing lol

4:44 pm

hurshy

4:44 pm

Minveryork

Good for U MLFAN17, sometimes it takes persistance

4:45 pm

hurshy

there's one ... thought i had put it in before

4:45 pm

NonnieLight

guessing is good, ml...whatever it takes!

4:45 pm

MLFAN17

i fot that word already minlol

4:45 pm

sprite

please minver, don't say second vowel? That is actually spelling it

4:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello hurshy! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

4:46 pm

sprite

I have 2x sy so far, that took me some time

4:46 pm

hurshy

there can only be 2 as i found one and have one left

4:46 pm

hurshy

there's one sn and the rest se

4:46 pm

Minveryork

I resorted to saying that because MLFAN was having a hard time with the word.I gave several other clues before it sprite.Sorry if my clue was a dead giveaway

4:47 pm

sprite

thanks :)

4:47 pm

hurshy

in my opinion minver, i would not object to you just saying "add an e" - it would be simpler and without any pretense.

4:47 pm

MLFAN17

ne 5/12 pls

4:48 pm

sprite

just a sincere request, minver! There is no difference between saying second vowel or E, that's why a lot of us don't like that kind of clues.

4:48 pm

Atalante

I agree hurshy

4:48 pm

hurshy

but we all have our own opinions on such matters...

4:48 pm

MLFAN17

min i have never seen that word either lol

4:48 pm

sprite

don't we, hurshy, don't we all... :P

4:48 pm

hurshy

spritey, my sy is a 4, how long is the other?

4:48 pm

Minveryork

ne 5/12 is plural of the ne 4/4 word before it MLFAN.

4:48 pm

Atalante

I think there's a level of obviousness passed which you might as well just say it ;)

4:48 pm

sprite

5

4:49 pm

hurshy

past which *laughs and points at ata*

4:49 pm

Minveryork

The other sy is sy 5/16 and it is an extenstion of sy4

4:49 pm

sprite

I agree Ata. Like in snake chair 3rd vowel cross letter.

4:49 pm

hurshy

ty sprite, got it. and you too min.

4:49 pm

Atalante

next time I wont bothyer sticking up for you!

4:50 pm

hurshy

:S

4:50 pm

sprite

why not????

4:50 pm

Atalante

yes sprite! just say the thing! if something is that impossible LOL

4:50 pm

MLFAN17

oenf othe 4/4 ne words i hae is plural their other cant be made plural

4:50 pm

sprite

oh, wait, that was for hurshy, LOL

4:50 pm

hurshy

i have done that in my day, when someone really can't get a word... like i'll say, "it rhymes with schmobvious"

4:51 pm

sprite

LOLLLLLLL hurshy, that is funny

4:51 pm

MLFAN17

HI ata

4:51 pm

NonnieLight

When it comes right down to it, if I'm stuck on a word, I appreciate any and all clues.

4:51 pm

Atalante

oh me too. Or spelled it out in first letters of words or something

4:51 pm

sprite

well, we all have had moments that we just could NOT see a word. And for me, usually they are obvious and easy and short words

4:51 pm

MLFAN17

sprite dod upi see what i said?

4:51 pm

Minveryork

There is only one ne5/12 word. The other is ne 5/16.

4:52 pm

hurshy

now then, any kind listing folks (or finished folks) want to tell me the point total?

4:52 pm

sprite

I saw it, MLF, but I couldn't make out what you meant, lol.

4:52 pm

Atalante

I think what most ppl object to is people asking for such obvious clues 5 mins after a new puzzle has turned up.

4:52 pm

MLFAN17

did you

4:52 pm

MLFAN17

oops

4:52 pm

NonnieLight

892 hurshy

4:52 pm

Minveryork

The point total for today is 892 hurhy.A small amount

4:52 pm

hurshy

ty nonnie

4:53 pm

MLFAN17

one of the words i have is plural the other cant be made plural according to the grid

4:53 pm

sprite

thanks, nonnie and minver, that helps me too

4:53 pm

hurshy

29 left... so... probably 6/24 and 4/5.

4:53 pm

Minveryork

I never ask for clues until I am at least halfway done.

4:53 pm

MLFAN17

which means in pts i have 400 plus to go

4:54 pm

sprite

I don't often ask for clues, but I use the ones in the chat shamelessly :)

4:54 pm

Minveryork

MLFAN17 the ne 5/16 words adds a sometimes vowel to the ne 4/5 word. Is that the ne 5 word you need?

4:54 pm

Atalante

people never mind helping, but they do get upset when someone is asking for clues without obviously having considered the matter at least a little

4:54 pm

sprite

that is true. But people who really play, and try for themselves, can ask me anything and I will gladly help (if I have the word, that is, lol)

4:54 pm

hurshy

and some of us don't like pretense :)

4:55 pm

MLFAN17

i have both of those

4:55 pm

Minveryork

Today I did not have to ask for clues.I do not usually when it is a small grid.Unless it is small and very hard.

4:55 pm

sprite

I love pretense. Or pretenses. Or pretenseless. As long as they are grid words :)

4:55 pm

hurshy

AND WE MISS OUR BUTTON! at least, i do.

4:55 pm

Atalante

pretence. *laughs and points at hurshy for being american*

4:55 pm

sprite

some small grids are evil indeed.

4:55 pm

hurshy

i can't help it, i was born that way

4:55 pm

sprite

so do I, hurshy.

4:56 pm

MLFAN17

its the 5/12 under the 4/5 at the top

4:56 pm

NonnieLight

ahahaha--early clue askers reminded of a time when I was new to the game. I didn't know that n 8 or me 10 where people "announcing" they'd found a biggie. I thought they were asking for clues so I thought I'd be helpful and clue the word for them this one particular time when I had found a biggie early...boy was my face red when I figured out they weren't asking and I shouldn't have been giving.

4:56 pm

hurshy

sprite, ata FORGOT about the button, can you believe this?

4:56 pm

sprite

LOL Nonnie! I hope we were kind about it and appreciated your good intentions!

4:57 pm

hurshy

i dunno, we can be tetchy at the flip...

4:57 pm

sprite

sure I can, hurshy. At a certain age, forgetting things becomes natural, you know...

4:57 pm

NonnieLight

No one yelled...thank goodness.

4:57 pm

hurshy

lol

4:58 pm

hurshy

maybe it's 4/8 and 6/21... hmmm.

5:00 pm

hurshy

5:00 pm

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

5:01 pm

hurshy

5:02 pm

sprite

5:02 pm

NonnieLight

5:02 pm

sprite

5:02 pm

sprite

5:02 pm

Atalante

*smug*

5:03 pm

Nonnie: yes, they are. Just not the matching s**

5:03 pm

MLFAN17

5:03 pm

hurshy

5:03 pm

NonnieLight

5:03 pm

hurshy

How loud is music? Can the whole neighborhood hear the music. It would annoy me if I had to listen to my neighbor's music,even if it was nice Christmas music.

5:46 pm

Amyjv

oh i found it

5:47 pm

Minveryork

A ce5/12 is the five ce***s but spelled with a c Amyjv.

5:48 pm

Minveryork

I do not have seizures and I am not easily annoyed. I just would not pick flashing lights for my own house.

5:48 pm

Krista

We can hear it when we're outside, and we are three houses and a street-width away (they are on adjacent street)...I'd not be happy if we were any closer.

5:49 pm

Krista

They are the same people who buy highly illegal fireworks in the summer - with launchers and such. But I enjoy those. :)

5:49 pm

Minveryork

Well at least you don't hear it from the inside Krista.

5:50 pm

Krista

True. Had enough of that when I was single and living in an apartment.

5:50 pm

Minveryork

I like illegal fireworks also as long as I'm not a part of the illegal activity of buying them. I like to spectate.

5:51 pm

Krista

Exactly! They are close enough that we can watch them easily, but keep our hands clean, so to speak. My bday is July 4, so I do like the pyrotechnics.

5:52 pm

Krista

7:29 pm

Krista

No, Herin, why? You and Nut are trying to get rid of me, I know it.

7:29 pm

mkg

kirsta all the pe words require playing with the letters next to the vowel.............lots of combos of these.

7:29 pm

Minveryork

pe 5/12 is plural of the pe 4/5 word before it Krista.

7:29 pm

pam

you know, min, I tend to ignore the clues in chat that give the letters up and spell them out--unless I am desperate to figure a word out and ask for a clue and that's how it's given...

Hi, nut. Guitar Hero sounds like fun. I only read about it last week when someone reviewed version III. Do they do it for the TV or pc?

8:22 pm

Jacula

Suppose not, tyger.

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

it depends on that input device, AFAIK

8:22 pm

8:25 pm

Jacula

'Bye, green.

8:25 pm

evanonut

ren, try the singing...it's so unforgiving

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

oh, I see. it's the game aspect, not the music aspect. right, rennie?

8:26 pm

renfield

take the se 4/4 and add a...may i say this...and eye

8:26 pm

tygerbryght

se5/10 - add a vowel to the preceding word

8:26 pm

renfield

right tyger - you get points for hitting the right buttons

8:26 pm

Jacula

se5/10 = 'mailed' + personal prononoun.

8:26 pm

tygerbryght

well, I think I like to keep my activities separated. :)

8:27 pm

Jacula

Or even pronoun!

8:27 pm

renfield

oh good mistress - like a proper pronoun!!!

8:27 pm

tygerbryght

and with arthritis in thumbs, and carpal tunnel in the fingers .....

8:27 pm

renfield

i think you would lose tyger....

8:27 pm

Jacula

The only thing I can play on guitar is the bass line for that old Blackfoot Sue song, 'Standing In The Road'.:(

8:28 pm

Big Alkie

Only one left can't see the wood for the trees DE 5/12 please

8:28 pm

tygerbryght

my skin wouldn't toughen right for me to learn to play any strings. I tried when I was quite young

8:28 pm

Jacula

My ex taught me to play that but, mostly, I had to sing to accompany him. 'Stairway to Heaven', that sort of thing. He did a fantastic adaptation of that.

8:28 pm

renfield

my next go is to learn the bass....

8:29 pm

tygerbryght

de5/12 - add snake to preceding word

8:29 pm

Jacula

ren - bass is peanuts comapred to lead.

8:29 pm

renfield

2nd de 5/12 = thick

8:30 pm

Big Alkie

Thanks tyger but got that one

8:30 pm

tygerbryght

adding a vowel works for both :)

8:30 pm

Jacula

de5/12 - plural of the de4 before it or the next means 'thick as of fog or of brain capacity.

8:30 pm

Mom

good evening everyone!

8:30 pm

renfield

Jacula

Although you do realise, I guess, Big Alkie, that whatever your sex, you will end up as 'Big Al' on here if you become a regular?

8:38 pm

Jacula

Er... doesn't sound very appealing, nut.

8:38 pm

evanonut

alkie to me, i prefer alkie

8:39 pm

evanonut

i guess it doesn't look like lizards

8:39 pm

Jacula

8:41 pm

Mom

8:41 pm

Big Alkie

evanonut

8:42 pm

evanonut

even if i don't need it, i'll still take it

8:43 pm

Jacula

Nut - I can't lol too much at that as I accepted a free sample of a hair calming serum yesterday in a shopping centre. Gave it to my daughter.

8:43 pm

renfield

yup she did...she'd take the masts if i didn't tie her to them

8:44 pm

Jacula

Lash your sissy to the mainbrace, Ren!

8:44 pm

evanonut

that's how i ended up with the mast

8:44 pm

renfield

what sample did you get nut? i like the looks of the carrot soap

8:45 pm

evanonut

it didn't let me pick, just gave me and email to request from

evanonut

8:45 pm

Jacula

Oh, I just got handed a carrier bag... had no idea what was in it. LOL

8:53 pm

Mom

thank you, Ren!!

8:53 pm

Jacula

So... I must just ask this... how come we lot can laugh and talk about religious differences, as can most of the people in the world... and then you get fanaticism in places?

8:53 pm

Mom

thank you Pam

8:53 pm

Jacula

I guess that's the way of the world.:(

8:53 pm

Jacula

Welll done, Mom.

8:54 pm

Mom

Thank you Jacula

8:54 pm

pam

yep, jac... it is... fanatics need something to believe in...and punish people with...

8:54 pm

Mom

I haven't finished a grid since the end of November

8:54 pm

renfield

i guess we're just really nice peeps

8:55 pm

Jacula

pam - I think that must be a problem within their own personal psychi and not a religious one, if truth be told.

8:55 pm

renfield

we care and joke - laugh and cry - share....

8:56 pm

Jacula

ren, my love. We're all nice peeps who can be nasty if 'riled' (stirred up to anger).

8:56 pm

renfield

we're not totally selfish - i mean we share our clues and pictures and music

8:56 pm

Jacula

But, we are all human beings and, surely, in the great scheme of things, that's all that matters and, if that thought is held by enough of us, we will survive.

8:57 pm

renfield

yuppers - i can be riled - i can kick butt real good - only if i'm riled tho

8:58 pm

Jacula

I once shared my pictures re Flickr. But they disappeared yesterday on this site and I can't make them come back! I didn't even know they'd gone until FMitch told me. WAAAAAAH!

8:59 pm

Jacula

I've tried every version I can think of for 'username' but no joy!

8:59 pm

renfield

you are so right - all your phtos disappeared! whatz with that?

8:59 pm

featherbee

hello

8:59 pm

pam

I agree, jac, that it's the psyche and not the religion....

8:59 pm

Jacula

Ren - no idea, re Flickr.:((

8:59 pm

renfield

hi tree feather!!

8:59 pm

featherbee

9:01 pm

Cathyar

evening all!

9:02 pm

Jacula

No chance of getting a tree up here until all the members of my family remove what they've dumped from their rooms into that room. I have warned them that I am a menopausal woman, I'm getting very upset by this and that the next person who dumps anything in my sitting room will GET A HATCHET THROUGH THEIR HEAD.

9:02 pm

Jacula

Hi, Cath. (Takes deep breaths in order to calm down to greet Babble friend.)

9:02 pm

Cathyar

we put our tree up yesterday...slowly decorating it

9:03 pm

featherbee

9:03 pm

Cathyar

s'ok jacula...i totally understand the frustrations lol

9:03 pm

Jacula

feather, toys were never a problem. Grown-up junk IS!

9:04 pm

Jacula

*Takes more deep breaths nd tries not to look at the state of her home.*

9:09 pm

Jacula

Daughter went off earlier and I knew she's got a Marilyn Manson concert and The Clothes Show to go to this week. I thought tonight was The Clothes Show... but thought she was dressed and made up rather oddly for it! I'd got it wrong... it was the MM concert she was going to. ITake note, feather... daughter was a happy, peacful baby, too). Her parting shot was, 'I'll see you on Friday but I'll let you know if I break anything tonight.'.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Very comforting! NOT!

9:10 pm

featherbee

*shudders*

9:10 pm

Jacula

Thanks for the maid, heather. Now, since my Other Half has her penned in a corner... any quick cleaning tips for the house? LOL

9:11 pm

babbz

hi all - on a mission here to finish this grid - anyone care to share a clue for the last se5,14? Marilyn Manson...wowsa jacula!

9:11 pm

featherbee

lol

9:13 pm

Jacula

Last se5/14 is either like the toilt tank without the pee or s + e*** fil (like Jason & The Argonauts' etc.

9:13 pm

babbz

omg that went right over my head!!

9:14 pm

Jacula

Actually, heather, O/Ha;f is snoring still.. not for long though. He has to be up at 3.30am for work.

9:15 pm

Jacula

Trying again bb.. se6/24 - a wound may go bad and become se6.

9:15 pm

Jacula

For se5/4 - take the 'pee' out of the word.

9:16 pm

Jacula

se + SORT WORD FOR A PHOTOGRAPH?

9:17 pm

Jacula

SHORT, NOT SORT AND SORRY FOR SHOUTING.

9:17 pm

BerniceQ

jac, do you mean take the "tea" out?

9:18 pm

Jacula

Bernice - yes, I do.

9:18 pm

Jacula

Youj are right. Long night. Sorry!

9:18 pm

babbz

gotcha (finally!!!) thanks guys!

9:18 pm

Mom

okay, Christmas tree is up

9:18 pm

BerniceQ

was trying to remove the "pee," couldn't. thanks for clarifying.

9:19 pm

Jacula

Sorry for misleading you, BB.

9:19 pm

renfield

wow mom - that's a big tree!!!!

9:20 pm

Jacula

LOL, ren.

9:20 pm

Mom

it is a very full tree.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Not as big as the tree in the shopping centre/mall.

9:20 pm

featherbee

looks awesome!

9:20 pm

Mom

no, not quite that tall, Jacual

9:20 pm

renfield

big full tree!

9:20 pm

Mom

thanks you Feather

9:21 pm

Mom

darling picture of the boys, Feather

9:21 pm

Jacula

Is that a real tree, MOM? If so, I don't envy you the stray pine needles for the next 18 months.

9:21 pm

Mom

Jacula*

9:21 pm

featherbee

ty mom!

9:22 pm

featherbee

ok, gotta go catch up on email

9:22 pm

renfield

later feather

9:22 pm

Mom

it is a real tree, that is why the sheet is under the tree and the red bag is a tree bag. Before you take the tree out you bring the bag up around the tree and tie it off. It is a God send.

9:22 pm

Mom

bye bye Feather

9:23 pm

Jacula

The real problem begins when the dried out tree is taken outdoors again by 'the men'. If catches either side of the door or window frame and the needles S P R I N G! EVERYWHERE.

9:23 pm

Mom

lol Jacula. You must have been in our house 3 years ago, when we had our first real tree.

9:24 pm

Mom

Hence, we had a tree bag last year and not one needle on the floor on the way out the door

9:24 pm

Jacula

You'll still be hoovering them up before you leave for your holiday in July.

9:25 pm

Mom

I think it will be tinsel I will be sweeping up this year. The boys are 23 and 19 and they were especially "creative" this year.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Does the tree bag go atop it then, Mom?

9:25 pm

Jacula

Oh, yeah, the tinsel sheds also.

9:25 pm

Jacula

As does glitter...

9:26 pm

Mom

yes, the bag is put at the base of the tree and then you bring it up to the top and tie it off. Like a garbage bag.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Sounds good, MOM. So, that just leaves the glitter and tinsel debris to deal with?

9:27 pm

Mom

yes, and that is at a minimum

9:28 pm

Jacula

So, how do you deal with a daughter and a stepdaughter and also a Sikh friend... who just love spreading Christmas litter erm glitter all around?

9:28 pm

renfield

our neighbors put out their icicle lights in november

9:28 pm

mrpresident

hi everyone :) nice and small I see ?

9:28 pm

9:31 pm

Mom

9:31 pm

Jacula

MrP - they do tend to do that, and resemble a bag with pebbles in the bottom. Given time, they will fill out again,.xxx

9:31 pm

9:36 pm

Jacula

Facebook just confuses me and I cannot add anything anyone's sent to me on there until I get XP on this newish pc.

9:38 pm

Jacula

On my old pc I could talk to friends from Yahoo chat... on this one, I cannot. So, apologies to anyone who thinks they've been ignored.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Well, I'd like to say that I have NEVER been a drug addict, despite living through the 60s/70s etc.. but, I smoke, I drink, I don't smole grass, but I DO remember the squits medicine. Just as well as wasn't born in the 180s, eh?

10:19 pm

stidmama

I am glad that children no longer die regularly of diarrheal illnesses -- or measles; that I have a warm house with big windows (those two used to be mutually exclusive)... I think the good old days might have been better in some ways, but certainly not in all.

10:19 pm

Cathyar

i'm not a druggie either jacula...tho in my teens and early 20's...before kids...ooooh....i did enjoy letting go now and then

10:26 pm

Cathyar

10:26 pm

Jacula

en + fatty lump on body. Then past tense of that.

10:26 pm

Cathyar

10:30 pm

Jacula

Wonder how stid would have dealt with me reporting a naked man throwing a pile of washing at my feet on Saturday morn? Sprite nd Fran told me it was an invitation and I should 'jump him'. I, however, knew he had a hair appointent to get to and, yes, he did clote himself before going out to it.

10:31 pm

Cathyar

se5/10 = se4/4 before it + a vowel after it

10:31 pm

Jacula

clothe, I meant.

10:31 pm

AprilD

hi babblers

10:31 pm

AprilD

10:31 pm

Cathyar

lol jacula!!!! you SHOULD have made him late for his appt!!!! ;)

10:32 pm

Cathyar

se6/24 = a consonant AprilD

10:32 pm

Jacula

However, I think Stid and me have agreed to disagree, and still remain friends, about what is acceptab;e and unacceptable to type.

10:32 pm

jimmel

thx, Cathyar..off to bed!

10:32 pm

Cathyar

10:35 pm

Ping

10:35 pm
