1:07 am

rururocks

I think he probably did mr p

1:07 am

mrpresident

it is a word that combines newborn and adolescents

1:09 am

mrpresident

if you have the first 3 letters of newborn, add a number and pluralise it

1:10 am

rururocks

1:10 am

rururocks

1:10 am

mrpresident

ARB

VolleymomDee

2:30 am

jillibus

yes, and the goose

2:31 am

jillibus

actually, my volcano should be Vesuvius -- the name of the little hamlet near here and the bay where the beach is

2:31 am

flosey

right, always think of you when I see those - also the needlecase which is not in today

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

2:32 am

jillibus

LOL!

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

I think I have typed in orange at least 4 times

2:37 am

grannyrose

don't you just hate it, you know a word is there, but can't see how the letters make it.

2:37 am

jillibus

you're not alone with that!

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

yes, then I am thankful this is not a grid that has to be moused, rather than typed

2:38 am

flosey

sometimes I type a word without looking and it's there - don't bother to find where it is hiding

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that flosey

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

for the life of me, I cannot find my last o

2:50 am

jillibus

He's away, mrp, doing a show in Norwich

2:50 am

forwardbyfaith

can I get a clue for the de9 please/

2:50 am

mrpresident

oh wow!

2:50 am

herinfernallady

I hope he stays the hell away. little creep

2:50 am

rbud

yes, someone posted his list of appearances earlier, sounds like he's busy

2:51 am

Atalante

ditto, herin

2:51 am

mrpresident

I didn't realise he was still working! great stuff he does

2:51 am

herinfernallady

I am sorry but anyone that claims they have ''friends'' watching the chat freaks me the hell out which is why i have been lurking

2:51 am

rbud

ah, yes, I agree he is a disturbing influence, who or whatever he is

2:52 am

jillibus

herin, did you get my email today?

2:52 am

mrpresident

infern, dont judge him to harshly... he has a fan base that look up to his values, being passionate and being predisposed to outbursts of passion are two different things... it will all calm down me thinks

2:52 am

Atalante

how should he be judged for abusing Andree, mrp?

2:53 am

rbud

but - anyone who makes people feel uncomfortable is not a good addition to Babble, imho.

2:53 am

herinfernallady

looking

2:53 am

jillibus

Stop it! You are abusing him!

2:53 am

herinfernallady

I swear if someone makes me feel this uncomfortable I am not going to remain sillet

2:53 am

jillibus

I am leaving.

2:53 am

mrpresident

andree is upset, fair enough... i love andree.
I also appreciate individual choices

2:53 am

Atalante

no, we aren't. we are discussing his actions

2:53 am

mrpresident

jilli, don't leave!

2:54 am

flosey

I've never seen him say anything disturbing

2:54 am

jillibus

Herin, you are making yourself uncomfortable by believeing a lot of nonsense and refusing to listen to the truth.

2:54 am

Atalante

good

2:54 am

Atalante

mrp, it isn't a load of nonsense

2:54 am

herinfernallady

Fine I am leaving. Its not worth being in tears

2:54 am

jillibus

I was half asleep anyway but I won't stay quiet about this and have said my piece.

2:55 am

Atalante

well nor will people who think he is a bullying creep

2:55 am

flosey

bullying? creep?

2:55 am

jillibus

And that isn't abusing him?

2:55 am

Atalante

no, it's my opinion of him based on his words

2:56 am

flosey

I think he's a gentle sweet guy

2:56 am

rbud

he disturbs me constantly by calling everyone by their real names - but only the ones he "approves" of, and the constant "you have mail" and so on, and so on...

2:56 am

Atalante

a sweet gentle guy who wrote a blog abusing andree? nice ...

2:56 am

jillibus

You are right, flosey.

2:56 am

flosey

I missed that, sorry

2:57 am

mrpresident

well, I have always liked him and everyone is entitled to screw up

2:57 am

rbud

sorry, I usually don't say much, but this has gotten to me. I read his blog, it was an obsessive rant, as far as I'm concerned, and totally uncalled for.

2:57 am

Atalante

agreed

2:57 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:58 am

jillibus

Disagree if you like, but don't go overboard.

2:58 am

Andree

have to say my piece here

2:58 am

mrpresident

I have screwed up many a time... I am hopeless at times

2:58 am

Atalante

hi andree!

2:58 am

mrpresident

it certainly was a rant

2:58 am

Sally-catlover

(Hi all). I read some things about this yesterday but haven't actually seen what he wrote. Could anyone email me the link? em in profile.

2:58 am

Andree

j c lifted my profile and started a blog about the dog i am getting

2:58 am

Andree

he insuled me and does not even know me

2:59 am

mrpresident

as I said, he was being over passionate and it spilled over to a personal level that shouldn't have happened

2:59 am

Andree

and what dog i get is my decision alone

2:59 am

Haz1558

I think the most unfortunate aspect of J.C. is that he has managed to divide babblers so effectively. It's continuing even without him being here. I've been under attack from him (didn't you get e-mails from him,jillibus and flosey, suggesting that I was quite the sort of person to send abusive e-mails to babblers?). so I know what it's like to feel his venom.

2:59 am

mrpresident

here sally

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

mrp, I wouldn't call that passionate (even by definition); hurtful and inappropriate

3:00 am

mrpresident

http://jpcjournal.blogspot.com/2009/09
/urg-ll-t-nn.html#comment-form here it is

3:00 am

Atalante

very much agreed, haz

3:00 am

flosey

I have not had any email from JC, he has never said anything to me about anyone else

3:00 am

mrpresident

absolutely andree!

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

You can disagree with someoneone's lifestyle but you should not insult them.

3:00 am

Andree

he is a mean horrible man and that is nothing to what he said about me

3:00 am

Sally-catlover

Thanks mrp.

3:00 am

Haz1558

He probably didn't know that I have copies of e-mails between him and others. I kept quiet about him for a long time, out of respect to those who seemed to enjoy his company. I'll go back to ignoring him if he ever comes around again, again out of respect to those who do enjoy him and because it's safer to stay under his radar of abuse.

3:01 am

Andree

how dare anyone lift a profile from babble, its so not in the right spirit

3:01 am

rbud

the link is in his profile here, and it's the comments that really go too far. Trifioso stuck up for Andree, and did a lovely job, too.

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree about that andree

3:01 am

Atalante

yes, she really did!

3:02 am

Atalante

he has his spies, as he says. but we notice what goes on too ...

3:02 am

Andree

he calls them " followers" its pretty sick, i would be really embarrased at being called anyones follower

3:03 am

jillibus

t

3:03 am

jillibus

Twitter calls them followers and so do several other networks.

3:03 am

Haz1558

One of the positive things about babble has always been that we can discuss all sorts of subjects and although we don't agree with each other, there is a spirit of tolerance. If I were to express my opposition every time someone made a decision I didn't agree with, I'd probably become extremely unpopular. I've learned to be more tolerant, it's a pity that J.C. apparently hasn't been able to understand why babblers feel so disturbed that he has ridden roughshod through the standards that have built up over the years.

3:03 am

mrpresident

I support pure breed dogs, but I don't object to anyone taking in a pet from any place!! His objections were strong and wide felt.
Yes, he has divided babblers, but we are kind to eachother and know what can happen on this chog.
Those of us that are 'family' can argue and disagree, but still get over it. I love all opinions, but abuse is past opinion

3:04 am

Andree

and i need to say a word here in herin's defence, she would have liked me to get a rescue pet but wishes me well anyway, she is most upset about the cyber bullying and is not afraid to say so

3:05 am

mrpresident

I think I simplified what you said Haz LOL!! you are a scholar

3:05 am

Atalante

babble is not his playground to garner minions in and be adored, as much as he wants it that way

3:06 am

Andree

j c has divided babblers fortunatly not many left on his side, he has really in trif's words crossed the line

3:06 am

mrpresident

I am pleased you have the pet you want andree!!

3:06 am

Haz1558

And now, I don't know about anyone else, but have you seen the size of this grid?

3:07 am

mrpresident

I hope you bring your doggie for a play date with Vixie!!

3:07 am

Atalante

it's biiiiiiiiiig

3:07 am

Andree

and my profile today is a photo of him taken a week ago

3:08 am

Atalante

ohhhh he's adorable

3:08 am

Andree

i should get him by the end of the month and a play date would be fun

3:08 am

mrpresident

oh what a cutie!!!

3:09 am

Andree

he is exactly what i want, i would have loved a pure spaniel but need something smaller and low shedding

3:09 am

Haz1558

< - pure spaniel. You can see why Andree would want pure spaniel.

3:09 am

Atalante

he's just adorable

3:10 am

Atalante

ditto hobbit. we spaniel owners are smug

3:10 am

Haz1558

Smuggest of the smug.

3:10 am

Atalante

oh yes

3:10 am

grannyrose

oh, andree,he's gorgeous. well picked1

3:11 am

mrpresident

hi rose!!!

3:11 am

Atalante

apart from the owner of the springer yesterday who was plodding round drinking up other dogs' wee puddles *facepalm*

3:11 am

mrpresident

did you see my facebook yet girls?? andree and rose are featured!!!

3:11 am

Haz1558

Good evening, grannyrose.

3:11 am

grannyrose

hey, mrp.dust storm cleared yet?

3:11 am

Haz1558

The owner was drinking dogs' wee?

3:11 am

grannyrose

hey haz

3:12 am

Atalante

apparently it's a delicacy in kent

3:12 am

mrpresident

yes rose, thank goodness! the dust is disgusting ... absolutely everywhere in the house!!

3:12 am

Haz1558

Check your sentence, Ata!

3:12 am

Atalante

lol I know ... I'm *tired*!

3:12 am

mrpresident

If I would have know it was coming, would have taped up the doors

3:12 am

rbud

I like how you mentioned, Andree, that the breeder uses some of her money to help with orphans in Rwanda - that's so lovely of her!

3:12 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me but did someone say that we are attacking JC because of his lifestyle? DID i just read that right?>

3:13 am

Sally-catlover

OK, back from speed reading. Well said and defended Trifioso. Hadn't realised JC was who he says he is although I had wondered. Someone in the public eye should perhaps choose words more carefully! Anyway, back to this ginormous grid.

3:14 am

mrpresident

where did you read that infern?

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Sallycat 300am: You can disagree with someoneone's lifestyle but you should not insult them. Does this mean you are saying Sally that we are attacking him because of his lifestyle?

3:15 am

Atalante

no, herin, I don't think so. I think she meant Andree's lifestyle getting a bred puppy

3:15 am

rbud

I don't think that's how she meant it, herin, I believe she was saying he was picking on Andree's lifestyle, actually.

3:15 am

mrpresident

Was she referring to Andree and her choices perhaps?

3:16 am

Andree

i don't think his lifestyle was mentioned, that would make us as judgemental as he is

3:16 am

herinfernallady

good ok sure ok Thanks sorry I will shut the frog up. Go bang my head on a wall sorry. I must have miss read

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

No, no, no!! I meant that JC could disagree with Andree getting a pure-bred, but should not make it a personal attack.

3:16 am

herinfernallady

Thank you Sally. I am going to go stick my head under a tap and hopefully drown this cold.

3:16 am

herinfernallady

can't be arsed arguing any more.

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Isn't there a quote, I disagree with what you do but defend your right to do so? Sorry, poor memory atm.

3:17 am

Atalante

awwww herin go look after yourself *hugs*

3:17 am

Haz1558

Don't bang your head on the wall, herin. Breathe deeply, count to ten and look at that nice big grid over there. < THOUSANDS of points, THOUSANDS.

3:17 am

Atalante

something like that, sally!

3:18 am

Andree

i know lots disagree and thats what i expect , but to ram it down my throat and bully me is not on

3:19 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:19 am

Andree

hi lynxxx

3:19 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx.

3:20 am

VolleymomDee

sally, I think the quote is I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.... or something like that

3:20 am

Atalante

especially when we all know that we could have a perfectly amicable discussion with you about how you made your choices so we could understand why such a thing was best for you

hi lyn. and fireworks for me.

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

I don't disagree as it happens Andree. For myself, I would always choose a rescue - but I have no issue with people that don't. As it happens, I didn't get rescue chickens, but pure-breeds :-)

3:20 am

Atalante

hi lyn! hi Mr Rescue Dog :)

3:20 am

lynxxx

Wow Granny! Congrats!

3:20 am

Andree

3:22 am

Haz1558

Wonderful! I feel inspired.

3:22 am

Sally-catlover

7020? I have 129 so far :-(

3:22 am

Haz1558

Well, pick up the pace, Sally! No dawdling!

3:22 am

rbud

points? or words, Sally?

3:22 am

Atalante

not sure inspired is the right word ..

3:23 am

Sally-catlover

Points! Think I should get stuck in.

3:23 am

lynxxx

challlenged perhaps?

3:23 am

Atalante

yes!

3:24 am

Haz1558

I refuse to use 'challenging'. Everything is challenging these days. What's wrong with saying difficult?

3:24 am

lynxxx

quick duck...I can feel the saucepans flying thru the air

3:24 am

Atalante

but I did find a 9 on my own :)

3:24 am

Haz1558

Sorry, you've set me off on a pet peeve. You don't want to set me off on pet peeeves.

3:24 am

grannyrose

or bloody hard, perhaps?

3:24 am

lynxxx

I woulld never call you 'difficult'!

3:24 am

rbud

oh no, virtual saucepans!

3:24 am

Atalante

tesco! oooops I didn't say that

3:25 am

Haz1558

Blood pressure rising dangerously....

3:25 am

Atalante

get thee to some wi8!

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

tesco? Wash your mouth out.

3:26 am

Haz1558

And nobody type redundant apostrophes if you don't want me to blow up.

3:26 am

Andree

remember the new diplomatic you

3:26 am

Atalante

we are now getting a new supermarket to rival tesco. thank goodness

3:26 am

Haz1558

That's right, Andree. I had nearly forgotten about my diplomacy diploma.

3:26 am

flosey

down to 100 for tomorrow, goodnight for real this time

3:26 am

rbud

well, I'm off to bed, with lots perhaps unsaid, but I do want to say the puppy's cute as heck, Andree, and I don't care how or where you got him! ((((Hugs, all!))))

3:27 am

Andree

bye flosey

3:27 am

Atalante

bye rbud!

3:27 am

Sally-catlover

ooooohh! Sorry. Slinks to pb with coffee.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Bye flosey.

3:28 am

Andree

my turn to cook so i had better make a move before my daughter starves, back soon

3:29 am

lynxxx

bye Andree

3:30 am

Atalante

bye Andree

3:30 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree. No virtual saucepans for you, it's the real deal!

3:31 am

Christine

May I ask what is JC's profession?

3:32 am

lynxxx

google Julian Clary Christine

3:33 am

Christine

okay, will do later on. Still trying to get past 160 words. I was doing OK, until I started to read the chog.

3:34 am

LoriP

Ho ho, a biggie! G'd morning-ish Babblers!

3:35 am

Atalante

LCL!!

3:35 am

lynxxx

morning Lori, feeling Christmassy already?

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

One thing about this grid, just add er and plural to everything. Seems so much nicer that way! Must be off for now, back later.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Lori. Now, you've got more than 7000 points coming your way, I hope you're looking forward to the work ahead?

3:36 am

Haz1558

Bye Sally!

3:36 am

lynxxx

bye Sally

3:36 am

LoriP

Am I reading correctly? Andree is cruel to bot beast and child, by adding no supper to her list of evils? :p

3:36 am

Atalante

quite possibly, yep!

3:37 am

LoriP

Bye Sally. Hazaurus, a big grid is perfect for me today, a welcome distraction.

3:37 am

LoriP

*both, not bot

3:37 am

Haz1558

Oh good! There's nothing like a distraction to distract you from unwelcome distractions.

3:38 am

LoriP

Oooh, and it's redundant redundancy day to. Yea!

3:38 am

LoriP

Is that the theme? :D

3:39 am

Haz1558

Yes. And we have to avoid using the word 'challenge'.

3:39 am

Atalante

which is very cha - difficult

3:40 am

LoriP

I dare you to not say challenge.

3:40 am

Haz1558

I mean - the songwriter didn't pen the words 'Breaking up is challenging' - no, 'Breaking up is hard to do'.

3:40 am

LoriP

***also wonders why***

3:42 am

Haz1558

It's a pet peeve of mine. It's used all the time, as a verb, a noun, an adjective and it's starting to become meaningless and an excuse not to look up a word with the same meaning and use it instead.

3:42 am

LoriP

Are you unanimous in that sentiment?

3:43 am

Haz1558

Journalists and politicians and policy writers love it.

3:43 am

Atalante

and news readers

3:43 am

lynxxx

uh oh, I think I have accidently hit on a sore point

3:43 am

Haz1558

Completely unanimous and diplomatic with it.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's a UK thing, lynxxx? I'm not getting at you, being all diplomatic and all, but it's getting to be as widespread as 'I was like and he was like'.

3:45 am

Atalante

aussies are too busy talking about sheilas and barbies

3:45 am

Haz1558

So far we haven't had journalists reporting conversations with politicians in those terms ''I was like - what are you going to do about the economy and he was like 'it's challenging'

3:46 am

lynxxx

no, we use the word here a lot too, although I wouldn't say excessively

3:46 am

redturtlehead

good morning.

3:46 am

Atalante

bet Mandelson has said it!

3:46 am

Haz1558

And I'll tell you something else. Tony Blair has got his teeth fixed.

3:46 am

lynxxx

hi Red

3:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning red.

3:46 am

LoriP

Mornin' red

3:47 am

Atalante

hi red!

3:48 am

Atalante

I heard a really funny joke about Gordon Brown yesterday. Can I copy it in here, it's quite long, but not toooooo long

3:48 am

LoriP

The phrase I've come to despise is "at the end of the day". It's so overused, it makes me want to scream.

3:48 am

Haz1558

On you go. Have you proofread it for the c word?

3:49 am

Haz1558

At the end of the day it's only an expression, Lori.

3:49 am

Dianne

Hi all - how about "that being said"?

3:49 am

Atalante

At last Gordon Brown decided to throw the towel in and resign. His cabinet colleagues decided it would be a worthy gesture to name a railway locomotive after him. So a senior civil servant went from Whitehall to the National Railway Museum at York , to investigate the possibilities.

"We have a number of locomotives at the NRM without names" the Director told the top civil servant. "Mostly freight locomotives though."

"Oh dear, that's not very fitting for a prime minister" said the civil servant. "How about that big green one, over there?" he said, pointing to number 4472.

"That's already got a name" said the director. "It's called 'Flying Scotsman'."

"Oh. Couldn't it be renamed?" asked the civil servant. "This is a national museum after all, funded by the taxpayer."

"I suppose it might be considered," said the director. "After all, the LNER renamed a number of their locomotives after directors of the company, and even renamed one of them Dwight D Eisenhower."

"That's excellent", said the civil servant, "So that's settled then .. let's look at renaming 4472. But how much will it cost? We can't spend too much, given the expenses scandal!"

Well, said the director, "We could always just paint out the 'F'."

3:49 am

lynxxx

hi Di

3:49 am

LoriP

Aiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

3:49 am

Christine

Whaat about sports reporters who use STRAIGHT for CONSECUTIVE? Or offers for training that takes only n9 short months ... every February, for nine years?

3:50 am

Haz1558

Hello, Dianne.

Atalante

3:51 am

grannyrose

in case ther of those who are here, who weren't here earlier, the ne4 for today is, I'M GONNA BE A GRANNY AGAIN!!!!

3:51 am

LoriP

With that being said, at the end of the day I challenge you to come up with a funnier joke.... :)

3:51 am

Haz1558

Oh! When's the happy event?

3:52 am

lynxxx

Hooray!!! what great news Rose

3:52 am

redturtlehead

good news Granny!

3:52 am

LoriP

Congratulations granny

3:52 am

Christine

Okay, I'm off ... erm, off the board, I mean. Time for a cuppa, and finish my Michael Connolly book.

3:52 am

grannyrose

3:52 am

Haz1558

Bye Christine, enjoy!

3:52 am

LoriP

Later Christine.

3:52 am

3:52 am

Oh, good news, Grannyrose.

3:53 am

Christine

Oh, good news, Grannyrose.

3:53 am

grannyrose

* cheshire grin *

3:54 am

Haz1558

There's no way that Ata can be any smugger than a new granny to be.

3:55 am

grannyrose

lol,haz, you got that right

3:55 am

Atalante

Ata is utterly smug at having a spaniel instead of children!

3:55 am

Haz1558

Oh, but there's a glow that comes off new grannies to be.

3:56 am

grannyrose

ata, both adorable, but not interchangeable, i'm thinking

3:57 am

grannyrose

btw, point count for this grid is 7020

3:58 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping the points will start to stack up nicely when I start finding longer words.

3:58 am

Atalante

haz, PB!

3:59 am

grannyrose

haz, lots of words with z and w ,either beginning or in them

3:59 am

Haz1558

No, PB is suspended for grids of more that 390 words. I've just decided.

4:00 am

Atalante

get thee in there and start making cheesecakes for us all!

4:00 am

Haz1558

arthrodesis isn't in the grid today again. Some day...

4:00 am

grannyrose

ouch, haz, don't remind me!!!!!

4:01 am

Haz1558

It would be gruel and water in the PB if I had my way.

4:01 am

Haz1558

I know, granny, but wouldn't it be fantastic if it was in the grid some day? I'd beat you for smugness.

4:01 am

Atalante

arthrodire / arthrodires would be good too

4:02 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

4:03 am

LoriP

Zenith! I want it, but at the end of the day it would seem I cannot. ***le sigh***

4:04 am

grannyrose

i'm still in this b..... wheelchair for another 3 weeks, and i hate, hate, hate the camwalker.

4:04 am

Haz1558

When all's said and done, it was a noble ambition, Lori.

4:04 am

Atalante

what a challenging time for you, lori

4:04 am

LoriP

At least I gave it 110%.

4:05 am

Haz1558

I give every grid at least 200%

4:05 am

Haz1558

If not more.

4:06 am

Haz1558

A good peeve, Lori.

4:06 am

LoriP

: )

4:06 am

grannyrose

anyone stuck, and ne4 help?

4:07 am

gortmold

4:07 am

LoriP

Psychiatric help possibly, but word wise, so far so good granny. :)

4:07 am

grannyrose

gort, how?

4:07 am

gortmold

there's a herd of mystifying se's after the us politicians - any clues pls?

4:08 am

grannyrose

spanish word for mister and missus?

4:08 am

gortmold

after the american politicians, but before the spanish grownups

4:09 am

grannyrose

spanish words can have an h in them

4:09 am

o-o

Portuguese mister and missus, too

4:09 am

grannyrose

oh, right, br. i stand corrected.

4:09 am

Haz1558

The grid is obviously terribly cosmopolitan today.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning, BabbleRabble.

4:10 am

gortmold

thanks granny, also for the international edumacation

4:10 am

o-o

hello, Haz

4:10 am

lynxxx

4:10 am

gortmold

4:10 am

gortmold

lyn

4:10 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

o-o

4:11 am

grannyrose

* se6 *

4:11 am

o-o

hello, lyn

4:11 am

gortmold

can't spell, can't speak spanish, don't know portugese, and can't see straight!

4:11 am

Haz1558

Call those excuses, gort?

4:11 am

grannyrose

houston we have a problem

4:11 am

Atalante

its a challenge

4:11 am

gortmold

lol haz

4:12 am

o-o

still have some red sky in Aussieland, lyn?

4:12 am

Haz1558

Gort obviously isn't giving 110%.

4:12 am

lynxxx

she's Australian, will that work?

4:12 am

gortmold

did our duststorm make it to international news?

4:12 am

Haz1558

Okay, we'll accept the Australian excuse. It's late and all that.

4:12 am

grannyrose

apparently it's settled, according to mrp. but the dust is in everything and everywhere

4:13 am

lynxxx

Not in my part of the world BabRab, Andree & MRP might have a problem still though

4:13 am

gortmold

it's not settled here - storm blew to queensland (1500kms north of sydney)

4:13 am

Haz1558

Dust? I'm sure LoriP just wishes she could step on a plane and help.

4:13 am

lynxxx

Gort - are you in NSW or Qld?

4:13 am

grannyrose

lol, haz

4:14 am

gortmold

qld

4:14 am

Haz1558

She could sell copies of her Good Housekeeping book and made a profit out of the trip.

4:14 am

grannyrose

good grief, gort.

4:14 am

gortmold

i like the sound of this woman - travelling the world and giving it a good scrub

4:14 am

lynxxx

I think all of Central Australia blew onto Sydney today Haz

4:14 am

LoriP

At the end of the day haz, I'd have to say you're not even close.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, Lori is world famous for her cleaning.

4:15 am

grannyrose

8 groan * lori

4:15 am

Atalante

it woudl certainly be a challenge for her

4:15 am

grannyrose

aaarrrggghhh, ata.......

4:15 am

LoriP

I'm a legend in the cleaning world. Generations to come willl speak of me.

4:16 am

Andree

4:16 am

grannyrose

gort, how are those se words coming along?

4:16 am

LoriP

wb Andree

4:16 am

lynxxx

wb Andree

4:17 am

gortmold

i got stuck again after the portugese people - the 5, 6 and 7

4:17 am

Haz1558

'So, LoriP, why have you come to Australia?' 'Well, I saw the news and I was like WOW, those people need me 110%. So, at the end of the day, i was like, WOW, I need to get there and give my all.'

4:17 am

grannyrose

hey, andree, the babrab was asking anout the dust storm.

4:17 am

gortmold

feel like a tiny child placing it's sticky, linguistic hand into granny's kindly one and being led to learning

4:17 am

LoriP

There's no i in team, that's my cleaning motto.

4:17 am

Andree

as soon as i got home from work via the hairdresser for a much needed haircut out came the hose, everything was inch deep in red dust , i hosed house windows cars, outdoor furniture, my poor veg garden looked derelict

4:18 am

gortmold

extra lol haz

4:18 am

grannyrose

did you get the clue re poems?

4:18 am

LoriP

lolol gort. Baby steps....

4:18 am

Haz1558

Oh, Andree! That sounds awful.

4:18 am

gortmold

oh no sorry granny i didn't

4:18 am

gortmold

oh sorry granny, yes i did

4:19 am

LoriP

That sounds like just another day in my house Andree.

4:19 am

Andree

the house needs a good clean but that must wait, or maybe lori could pop over

4:19 am

grannyrose

ok, shakesperean poems, change the first vowel

4:19 am

Atalante

at least you haven't got your pup yet - cream puppy + red dust = challenging

4:19 am

gortmold

i did get it thanks granny, just a bit late, got a lotta dust on the brain

4:20 am

LoriP

Call me thick, but I jus don't see what the problem is.......

4:20 am

grannyrose

right then, we are up to after the se mister and missus without the h, right?

4:20 am

o-o

does this red dust get adventuresome on a regular basis?

4:20 am

Andree

it was quite disgusting to be driving about, every car was filthy and knowing mine looked like that too, would have gone to the car wash but the line was a mile long

4:21 am

gortmold

almost, granny, need the 5 and the 7 on either side of the almost-poem

4:21 am

Andree

ist time in 70 years babble

4:21 am

Andree

i have never seen it before

4:22 am

Haz1558

What you need are trained elephants to hoover up the dust and blow it back where it came from. I don't deny there might be a problem with their(ahem) droppings, but it's a very ecologically friendly way of coping with the crisis. You have many elephants in AUstralia?

4:22 am

grannyrose

se5, an aperient, se7, plurals the almost poem

4:22 am

lynxxx

Not very common BabRab. They are comparing this one to one that happened over Melbourne about 25 years ago

4:22 am

gortmold

actually, humble ol' qld had one 6 years ago, a few roos got asthma and that was about it

4:22 am

Andree

as mrp said if we had known we would have taped up the windows and doors, i left my bathroom window open, big mistake

4:22 am

dizgrannie

never seen red dust like it...when we woke this morn it was like a fireball....tankfully it has settled in our area....g/kids walked to school with towels wrapped around their heads so only their eyes peeped out

4:23 am

Atalante

we have an elephant car wash ...

4:23 am

gortmold

an aperient, you say...hmmm....

4:23 am

o-o

that does not sound pleasant

4:23 am

Haz1558

Back shortly...

4:23 am

grannyrose

a herbal aperient

4:24 am

gortmold

**gortmold too embarrassed to let granny see her googling herbal aperient**

4:25 am

grannyrose

se +2 x single hump letter+ first vowel

4:26 am

gortmold

and just like that, the se's are done

4:26 am

gortmold

thank you granny, you've been v patient

4:26 am

grannyrose

whoot, gort

4:27 am

grannyrose

yw gort,

4:27 am

gortmold

i think we both need a stiff whiskey now, eh granny?

4:27 am

o-o

and the moral of the story is that words are only difficult to find if you can't find them

4:28 am

Andree

talking about elephants, i don't know if it reached international years but about 3 years ago we got some from thailand and there was the biggest whoha from various animal lovers etc, they have the most beautiful enclosure and are so happy and 2 months ago a baby was born, he is so cute

4:28 am

grannyrose

don't just stand there, woman......get out of my way

4:28 am

gortmold

i should know better than to stand between a granny and her whiskey

4:29 am

Christine

So true, BabbleRabble ... some time ago I read a book who's blurb read 'This book will appeal to people who like this type of book'

4:30 am

o-o

just doesn't get any better than that, Christine and good day

4:31 am

Christine

Eeeeew - neighbour's cat just drank my tea ... gotta amke more. ttfn

4:31 am

Christine

4:40 am

grannyrose

but there's a sore spot just over the right shoulder....

4:40 am

gortmold

yes, as soon as the words left my fingers, i regretted them **gorty apologises for heinous assumption of bunions**

4:40 am

gortmold

Gorty also decides to start own church: Blessed Boggler of the Heinous Assumption of Bunions

4:41 am

grannyrose

4:48 am

grannyrose

gee, thanx br, you're so nice to me

4:48 am

gortmold

wow, granny, with scripture knowledge like that, you could be altargirl for the CHurch of the Heinous Assumption

4:49 am

gortmold

thanks heaps

4:49 am

grannyrose

yeah, right...i'd like to see that. only if they wear red or purple.

4:50 am

gortmold

they do, we have adopted the sacred frocks of the the Super People - you can wear your wonderwoman cape

4:51 am

gortmold

i myself prefer to keep it casual with jeans and an enormous ruby encrusted sceptre

4:51 am

grannyrose

oh goodie, * wonders about the jocks *

4:52 am

gortmold

extreme LOL, granny, stop wondering and start wearing

grannyrose

ROFL!!!!!

Scrabbler

Yes, and I am ready to leave the office but not the wonderful families

5:48 am

Wolvie

most of them will come with you tho, yes?

5:48 am

Scrabbler

I have given many mothers my e-mail address to stay in touch or to have questions answered

5:49 am

Scrabbler

My new office is 32 miles away from current one, so it is not convenient for many to follow me

5:49 am

Wolvie

well, that is good. I am sure most will contact you

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I am stunned at how many mothers have started crying when I have told them that I am leaving

5:50 am

Wolvie

I imagine that it's a comfort thing - you have been good with them, and they trust you.

5:50 am

herinfernallady

7:26 am

suefrad625

7:28 am

bonkler

de 9 the places where you go to shop for late movie star james de**

7:28 am

periwinkle

got the de9 thanks

7:28 am

bonkler

if you replaced the d with a b it would be the place you'd go for food that toots

7:29 am

suefrad625

NO WAY

7:29 am

Atalante

*runs in quickly* Hobbit is off to a Proper Groomer in a minute!

7:29 am

suefrad625

that a word

7:29 am

redturtlehead

Well, I am half way, things are starting to get a bit more difficult.

7:29 am

suefrad625

it sounds like where the make de***

7:29 am

Haz1558

Thank goodness for that, Ata.

7:30 am

Haz1558

At last she will know the benefit of an expert at work. And she'll smell wonderful, as well.

7:31 am

Atalante

our vets have started a grooming service - it's wonderful, really. 2 of the vet nurses do it, and they do anal glands and everything, so actually I'll get a full groom for about Â£5 cos the rest gets balanced out by the lack of needing a separate bum squeezing appt

7:31 am

Haz1558

Replace the d with an s and you'd have places for Mr Connery fans to hang out.

7:31 am

suefrad625

lol

7:31 am

Haz1558

That's quite a bargain, Ata!

7:32 am

suefrad625

and thx for the w8 also

7:32 am

Atalante

tis! and Hobbit already knows the nurses who do it, so that's good

7:33 am

Haz1558

She'll emerge a fragrant beauty.

7:33 am

redturtlehead

that is great Ata, I need to take Teulu in...not sure why i am resisting.

7:34 am

Atalante

she will. I shall take photos for evidence :)

7:34 am

Haz1558

And then compare to the husband's effort. See if he can spot the difference.

7:35 am

redturtlehead

Darn it I thought orange was in the grid!

7:35 am

Atalante

he'll say his was better, I'm sure

7:36 am

suefrad625

I suck, I cant find the first an word

7:36 am

Haz1558

He'll be able to tell the difference because motorists won't cause accidents by swerving in shock at a clipped spaniel and passers-by won't hoot with laughter.

7:36 am

suefrad625

I get Dixies nails done

7:36 am

suefrad625

7:55 am

periwinkle

NM found it on morewords

herinfernallady

What about access to the laudry at night closed door or would Silly be grumpy?

7:56 am

Atalante

FMitch

8:17 am

herinfernallady

Everything is connected that is the problem

8:18 am

mom2han8

I love the cloisters, Annie... I have never been to the Jewish museum.

8:18 am

mom2han8

And it has actually been some time since I have been to The Cloisters, now that I think about it..

Atalante

8:20 am

mom2han8

I also remember really liking the Folk Museum in NYC.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Probably Monday...most museums are closed on Monday.

8:20 am

mom2han8

Yes. I think that was it. They were all closed.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Folk Museum? Must google that. Sounds like a future visit for me.

8:21 am

mom2han8

Have you been to The Brooklyn Museum? I have not, but hear it is worth the trip.

8:21 am

Anniebrook

Welcome back, Ata

8:21 am

mom2han8

Yes... it is the American Museum of Folk Art or something like that... related to the Met in some way, I believe... I remember the Grandma Moses paintings and the textiles, though it had to have been 25 years ago.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

mom, The Brooklyn Museum is worth a trip. I live in Brooklyn so I have been there many times

8:22 am

mom2han8

I believe it is on Museum Mile.

8:22 am

mom2han8

I think I will put it on my list also... as it has been some time... we have done the Met and Natural History a number of times... more interesting for my daughter.

8:24 am

Anniebrook

mom, The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens are very close to the museum right across the parking lot. That is certainly worth a visit. The gardens are very beautiful.

8:24 am

mom2han8

Though she is less and less interested in these things of late ... 13 is a tough age.

8:25 am

mom2han8

I have been to the Bronx Botanical Gardens... by the zoo...

8:25 am

I was going to truck all the way to Philly this summer as they had an exhibit on tattoo art at some little museum... got a great review in NYTimes... but she was not interested enough to warrant that trip, LOL.

8:26 am

Anniebrook

13 is a tough age..

8:26 am

mom2han8

If I leave abruptly.... it is not personal... waiting for a friend to pick me up, as we have a meeting at the school....

8:27 am

harpjane

how is the grid?

8:27 am

Anniebrook

LOL, not personal at all, I am going to truck into the kitchen to clean up...be back later

8:27 am

mom2han8

Yeah... she's a good kid, by and large... it's just the whole la-de-da attitude that I could live without... I swear even if it was something that she really wanted to do she would think it was lame if suggested by her mother, LOL.

8:28 am

jmcnrick

8:57 am

herinfernallady

Wow and these people wear leather boots

8:57 am

Atalante

but jmc! it's a good cause! "The U.S. military has declared war on animals by burning, stabbing, and shooting them in unnecessary training exercises, and it's time to fight back! Animals need you to enlist in the army of animal lovers willing to speak out against these cruel exercises"

8:57 am

jmcnrick

lol Judi!

8:57 am

herinfernallady

My friend has one of the dogs the US uses in Iraq

8:58 am

jmcnrick

actually at the Unitarians this Sunday one guy got up and made this big point how the military was necessary just like the people who eat meat never kill their own food!

8:58 am

Atalante

and this says it all - one of the Sexiest Vegetarians: "Jane has since set sail on the Steve Irwin as part of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society." Sea Shepherd people are even worse than PETA

8:58 am

harpjane

um, i think science, and the food industry, and the cosmetic industry could be MUCH nicer to animals. And no I am not a vegetarian.

8:59 am

jmcnrick

I pointed out I had killed poultry but it did make the military necessary-- every one looked at me as though I said I had a second head

9:25 am

Atalante

scrabble accepts it with an s

9:25 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's like sheep, same word serving for singular and plural?

9:25 am

Judi

There is no plural for the goose, Hurshy.

9:25 am

hurshy

interesting.

9:25 am

FMitch

maybe it's one of those sing/pl words hursh?

9:26 am

Atalante

10:15 am

periwinkle

10:15 am

Atalante

they kill an awful lot of animals every year

10:16 am

periwinkle

they do? did not know that, Ata

10:16 am

Atalante

do, and make your own mind up about them - ppl either love them or loathe them!

10:16 am

periwinkle

they have always had a good rep here, at least that is what I thought

10:16 am

Norma

Can anyone clue the ei7 please ;o)

10:17 am

Atalante

hopefully then you have a nice lot who actually care for animals, rather than being pseudo-animal right terrorists

10:17 am

Atalante

if I could, I would!

10:18 am

harpjane

10:47 am

aebmusica

an intoxicating beverage made from the last very ripe grapes picked close to winter time. A german name.

10:48 am

ursh

good heavens I thought it was the correct spelling for pork knuckles

10:49 am

aebmusica

I wouldn't drink it with pork knuckles...too sweet!

10:50 am

Haz1558

te7/38 - looks like the same structure as what Australians call their cans of beer.

11:00 am

aebmusica

I don't know any Australian lingo.....?

11:00 am

Haz1558

Or just slip an extra vowel in before the end of the racquets game.

11:01 am

aebmusica

It's what we used to call gym shoes in the 50's.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Over here they were called gutties, after gutta percha, I think it's what they were made from.

11:02 am

rururocks

austrailians have such weird lingo when it comes to beer

11:03 am

aebmusica

How did they come upon that word for beer...because of how many ounces in a can?

11:04 am

hurshy

anyone have de8?

11:04 am

Haz1558

It's the only one I know, I think. They call their cans tins.

11:05 am

Haz1558

de8 = de, a mathematical term running into the last letters of a canvas dwelling.

11:05 am

hurshy

thankee haz!!

11:05 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

11:06 am

aebmusica

thanx haz...but Im a musician and I don't know many math terms.

11:07 am

Haz1558

Try de, plus wrongdoing, then rearrange the number before eleven.

11:07 am

hurshy

have you got ei7? looks like it probably uses the Z...

11:07 am

rururocks

sweet late harvest reisling from Germany haursh

11:07 am

hurshy

bother, i don't drink

11:08 am

rururocks

frozen grapes

11:08 am

Haz1558

ei7/44 - ei plus what looks like the German word for pig, minus the ch. Or ei plus an anagram of the dreaded flu.

11:08 am

rururocks

literally ice vino

11:08 am

hurshy

oh, i miscounted, so W not Z! thanks!

11:09 am

Haz1558

No problem.

11:09 am

aebmusica

ty haz!

11:10 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, glad you got it.

11:11 am

aebmusica

That's because I have'nt had to much ei7 to drink yet.

11:12 am

rururocks

it is nectar and very low in alcohol hurshy..

11:12 am

rururocks

(very fattening though I might add)

11:13 am

aebmusica

but it's a very expensive way to gain weight!

11:13 am

rururocks

too true

11:15 am

hurshy

i ordered a lemonade in oxford. it had .05% alcohol, which i wasn't expecting. one sip, i said, ick, this has alcohol in it. my brother in law tasted it and asked if i had a superpower of detection.

11:17 am

hurshy

haz, haz, the last 9 is an ne! i don't know what it is yet but perhaps you've got it while i was away

11:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, I have it.

11:18 am

hurshy

oh goody, then you can give me a clue :)

11:18 am

Haz1558

First three letters are an anagram of the first number, add the word I clued about the Australian cans of beer, removing one of the double consonants.

11:19 am

Haz1558

Does that make sense?

11:19 am

narnia queen

Hi all. How many words in the puzzle today?

11:20 am

Haz1558

Or anagram of single number, number before eleven, add plural ending for a word that ends in y.

11:20 am

Jacula

Worked for me, Haz. Thanks!:-)

11:20 am

Haz1558

Good!

just wandering by to see how folks are. I have about 5 minutes and then I have to hunt down the assignment that is due Tuesday. *sigh*

11:29 am

hurshy

course we have, i think we've had over 500.

11:29 am

stidmama

YAY Merk!

11:29 am

Haz1558

Well done, Merk.

11:29 am

narnia queen

Congrats Merk!

11:29 am

Merk

ty, ty ... and now I am going to go get a life for what's left of my day and remaining energy.

11:30 am

Well done, Merk.

11:30 am

Merk

See you tomorrow, later in the day.

11:30 am

stidmama

later Merk!

11:31 am

stidmama

hey Haz! how's ireland today? My mother said they really had good luck with the weather while they were there. AND they brought me the coolest little booklet on the Giant's Causeway!

11:31 am

aebmusica

what are u studying Stid?

11:31 am

aebmusica

nante

11:32 am

Haz1558

I was SO pleased that the weather was better over the past fortnight. It's still holding up quite well.

11:32 am

stidmama

Master's in Teaching, aeb... starts officially on Tuesday but of course I am trying to do a bit of reading ahead; and there is an assignment for the first day of class already

11:32 am

stidmama

that doesn't work, aeb! LOL

11:32 am

aebmusica

I know I've been to Nantes

11:32 am

stidmama

glad to here that, Haz! I am sure the critters are pleased! -- Mother said there didn't appear to be as many pet dogs as we have here... they were surprised by that.

11:33 am

stidmama

And there were SO MANY sheep! LOL and there were cows that looked like oreo cookies apparently, and the robins are teeny-tiny compared to the American robin. all sorts of interesting discoveries they made

11:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, lots and lots of sheep. And our robins are modest creatures. The oreo cookie cows are probably Belted Galloways.

11:35 am

Haz1558

It's one of the fun things about travel, finding all the little differences.

11:35 am

stidmama

I will tell Mother and she can look that up for comparison (the cows). There is a herd of Limousine cows down in Oregon, so many different breeds.

11:35 am

Haz1558

If they were up in the Glens, some of the terrain is so hilly that only sheep can gr5 up there. (nearly in the pb again)

11:36 am

Trifioso

quick hello while my lunch cooks. blimey, big grid today!

11:36 am

stidmama

their tour kept to the coastline, mostly. They got to the big Aran island, and spent some time in Dingle as well as visiting Dublin and Belfast.

11:37 am

stidmama

hey trifioso!

11:37 am

Haz1558

Hello Trif - yes, value for money today.

11:37 am

stidmama

*grin* "Eire" is in the grid today, as is "Erin" LOL

11:37 am

Haz1558

I imagine they saw a very different Belfast to the black and white images of the 60s and 70s. There have been huge changes.

11:38 am

Trifioso

I LOVED the Giant's Causeway, but the wind was blowing us sideways the day we visited, and my little glll was pretty frightened by it. I think she feared blowing off!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Every time I drive through it, I'm amazed at the new buildings. Someone who hadn't been in Belfast for 20 years would not know the place.

11:38 am

stidmama

yes, they said there were a number of big improvements. but a little on edge they thought, still.

11:39 am

Haz1558

People have been washed off, Trif, it's treacherous.

11:39 am

Trifioso

yes, i believe it. I really did love it, though.

11:39 am

stidmama

it was their first trip, Haz -- but I think it won't be the last. They so thoroughly enjoyed it -- and the people they met were very nice. Which we expected.

11:40 am

Trifioso

I am always so disappointed that Enable won't accept "Ents"

11:40 am

Haz1558

We're always delighted to see visitors.

11:40 am

11:44 am

sciencegeek

nm got it

11:44 am

stidmama

okay, advice on working with the young end of the spectrum please? better to expect and insist on compliance with procedure, or better to let them discover for themselves why to do something a particular way? (assuming it's not a dangerous thing) -- my sense is that they need to learn to follow directions before it's critical...

11:44 am

stidmama

later Haz! have a lovely evening!!

11:45 am

narnia queen

Bye Haz

11:45 am

anike

G'night all. Definitely bedtime for me.

11:45 am

Trifioso

hmmm. stid. I think you probably will have kids that will fall into both categories. Some kids will hear a logical explanation and see the logic involved and follow accordingly. And then some kids just need to pee on the electric fence, no matter how many times you tell them why they shouldn't.

11:45 am

stidmama

sweet dreams anike ((hugs)) be well.

11:45 am

anike

Thanks Stidmama

11:47 am

stidmama

had some 8th graders yesterday who were very openly defiant, and others who were willing to learn. I was surprised to see the change in attitude from last year.

11:47 am

stidmama

same kids, new year -- might be "top dog" syndrome (in which case I can let them know who's Alpha!) or just normal adolescent poopy-headedness...

11:48 am

Trifioso

Some of the defiant ones don't mean to be disrespectful, I really believe that! They just are more curious than disciplined - Will my coat REALLY catch on fire if I but it near the bunsen burner? Huh. Yes. What do you know.

11:48 am

narnia queen

See you all later. Major studying to do for test on Friday.

11:48 am

stidmama

thanks tri, that makes sense.

11:49 am

Trifioso

bye queen!

11:49 am

stidmama

good luck narnia -- take eyeball breaks regularly!

11:49 am

Trifioso

it doesn't necessarily make them less irritating

11:49 am

stidmama

I keep trying to make "seize" work

11:50 am

Trifioso

I tried to remember that when I was teaching high school drama - the kids who always wanted to be front and center had a need to be there. I would try to let them, within reason.

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

oh this is ridiculous

11:50 am

stidmama

and my five minutes were up 20 minutes ago. *sigh* okay. cracking the whip on myself is WAY harder than making kids buckle down!

7:06 pm

DR1965

I asked how it went and he said- sorry Mom- that is between me and her

7:07 pm

Bugsaw

I am so glad. I do that a lot with kids. I give them 4 ways to deal with a situation when someone or something is annoying you.

7:07 pm

DR1965

sorry bubba- do not have it

7:07 pm

lbdawger

bubba, it sounds like ice wine

7:07 pm

Bugsaw

1. walk away - sometimes it is not worth fighting over

7:07 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! how's it going?

7:07 pm

JenMO16

ibd!! hi!

7:07 pm

DR1965

Hi Dawger

7:08 pm

Bugsaw

2. ask for help - sometimes that just means standing near a teacher or adult

7:08 pm

gortmold

ei 7 = ei + anagram of pig

7:08 pm

lbdawger

hi Jen, hi DR

7:08 pm

joey

thanks, gortmold. that is a great clue

7:08 pm

Bugsaw

3. talk about it - when you are calm go and talk to the person about what they want and how you want them to stop whatever it is.

7:09 pm

bubba218

Thanks, what kind of word is that?

7:09 pm

DR1965

HE always forgets walk away!

7:09 pm

gortmold

yw

7:09 pm

DR1965

ty Gort- got it

7:09 pm

gortmold

my guess is it's german for 1 porcine problem

7:10 pm

lbdawger

no, actually it means, ice wine! had to look it up

7:10 pm

fuquayvarina

it actually means "ice wine" -- a kind of wine made from grapes that are allowed to freeze on the vines -- very yummy dessert wine

7:10 pm

Bugsaw

4. (the hardest for some kids) laugh about it - find a smart way to agree with them in a humourous way. ex. respone to "Your face looks funny" could be, "You should see my brother!"

7:10 pm

gortmold

ice wine is cool too

7:10 pm

bubba218

Thanks, that gave me fireworks

7:11 pm

Bugsaw

7:13 pm

fuquayvarina

ne+a "door" used in a fence

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

She probably gave him some ideas like this but I give them slowly and often have to cue them for a long time (This might be a good time to walk away because it is just a computer that won't work and it won't work if you turn it off. You have way more power than it does)

7:14 pm

DR1965

11:07 pm

mkg

11:07 pm

Bugsaw

there is is ga 9 that means people who strangle other people

11:07 pm

buffgirl71

an 7/32 - if an 5/10 were a verb, add the past tense

11:08 pm

mkg

gosh not getting these clues at all. sorry. guess no nines for me tonight.

11:08 pm

Bugsaw

another name for sneakers, without the ususal double consonant in the middle

11:08 pm

mkg

got an word. ty

11:08 pm

mkg

whew. tired.

11:09 pm

Bugsaw

sorry mkg. I will try to be less obtuse.

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

I believe my last 20 are hiding

11:09 pm

buffgirl71

144 left and this is no fun anymore - so good night all.

11:09 pm

mkg

doesnt work somehow.

11:09 pm

Bugsaw

My last one doesn't exist in my grid.

11:09 pm

mkg

the word for new, how many letters? maybe that is the error.

11:09 pm

Bugsaw

Nite buff

11:10 pm

mkg

the shoes are also the name of the game right? but minus double cons. right? and word for new is 3 letters, ne and vowel. right?

11:10 pm

Bugsaw

it is a prefix for new. has 3 letters. Like new nazis are called ne* nazis.

11:11 pm

mkg

got that bugsaw. now the shoes must be the issue. are they name of the game minus dbl cons? if so not working.

11:11 pm

Bugsaw

Yes ne + vowel + an extra vowel at the end of the game to make a plural ending

11:12 pm

Bugsaw

we need Babble Rabble . He gives the best clues ever.

11:13 pm

mkg

still no luck bugsaw. new is 3 letters, then name of game with one cons. in middle, then another vowel at end of game? huh?

11:13 pm

Bugsaw

prefix for new + a number + what the ending is on a word that ends in Y when you make it plural

11:13 pm

mkg

game ends in s.

11:13 pm

mkg

got it and the word. ty.

11:13 pm

Bugsaw

game ends in is. add a vowel inbetween

11:14 pm

mkg

what were the other 9s clued? i dont recall.

11:14 pm

Bugsaw

HURRAY. I am so sorry that I am a lousy cluer

11:14 pm

mkg

oh right, what do eagles live in that is 5 letters please?

11:15 pm

Bugsaw

what eagles live in without the A on the front

11:15 pm

mkg

but i thought they lived in ne**s! so confused. dont know the word

11:16 pm

Bugsaw

if you go to the reverse dictionary or google Eagle NE** you will get another word that starts with ae

11:16 pm

TraderKate

the shoes rhyme with "cents"

11:17 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Kate. Perhaps you can help mkg better than I can. How are you doing?

11:17 pm

mkg

11:17 pm

TraderKate

11:18 pm

TraderKate

11:18 pm

Bugsaw

mkg that ending (eagles ne** without the first a) is also the ending to a ta 9 word

11:18 pm

Bugsaw

11:21 pm

mkg

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

OK so what you do is you look at the list. Say you have DAG and DOG but are missing something in the middle. The possibility may be DIG

11:21 pm

mkg

11:21 pm

herinfernallady
