hey, just lurking. not too much going on here
2:28 am
Douglas
Isn't delect a perfectly good word?!?
2:29 am
reparteena
sounds good ,but maybe not!
2:31 am
Douglas
If something is delectable, doesn't that imply that someone would delect it?
2:31 am
gremlinn
"delectible" is
2:31 am
gremlinn
actually, "delectable" was right, sorry
2:32 am
Douglas
No Google search results for define:delect...my bad
2:33 am
gremlinn
it comes from Latin "dÄ“lectÄbilis" - seems like the "able" part was built in, which is why there's no "delect" alone
2:34 am
gremlinn
other endings: -ability, -ableness, -ably
2:35 am
o-o
delectable Look up delectable at Dictionary.com
c.1400, from O.Fr. delectable, from L. delectabilis, from delectare (see delight).

4:10 am
herinfernallady

Ruby what time is it for you?
4:32 am

11:30AM and it will be out for Sunday lunch. Time changed last night and husband is acting a little crazed!
4:33 am
rubyfoo
Are you 10 hours later?
4:33 am
herinfernallady

4:33 am
rubyfoo
I loved yesterday's grid, this one, not so much
4:34 am
rubyfoo

4:34 am
herinfernallady
I am eating and poking this damn thing
4:34 am
rubyfoo
I would probably spill stuff in my keyboard which is dusty enough....
4:35 am
rubyfoo
I only have 50 words and have hit a wall. Yesterday, it was possible to build and build
4:35 am
herinfernallady
eating over a plate
4:36 am

4:37 am
herinfernallady
I am talking to my b.f about how the French Revolution caused his great great something or other Father to loose their land in Normanby
4:38 am
rubyfoo
I know nothing about Fr history as my 1st husband was a Fr historian!!
4:39 am
herinfernallady
Also talking about how his great grandma was married to ''nobility'' and his great grand father was disinherited for marrying below his station.
4:39 am
rubyfoo
yay, I got all the c's
4:40 am
rubyfoo
too funny!
4:40 am
herinfernallady
Sad but true. So if events had not happened I could be with someone complete different
4:41 am
rubyfoo
and you could marry nobility
4:41 am
herinfernallady
Probably not. More of the kind to polish the shoes
4:41 am
rubyfoo
gee, sounds like my family!
4:42 am
rubyfoo
did you get the fi4/8 French word?
4:42 am
herinfernallady
Then again I may well not have been with the family I have if my Great Grandfather hadn't come back from WW1 he landed on the front line in Turkey were only one in ten came home
4:42 am
rubyfoo
they use it often, I guess it's a babblet
4:43 am
rubyfoo
that's very interesting about your gr. grandfather
4:44 am
rubyfoo
I guess there have been brave troups from Australia in all the wars, and they've gotten very little recognition
4:44 am

Do not know much about him as my Dad doesn't know what his real name is. They are British not Aus
4:45 am
rubyfoo
has anybody tried geneology records on google? My sister is trying to do it for our family with ships' manifests and such....too hard for me

The Bernstein clue worked better for me.
7:02 am
Haz1558
As long as you got it - sometimes people don't get the references and then it gets frustrating for both sides.
7:02 am
Trifioso
which reminds me, I keep meaning to say -- we have a event every year in Norwell called "our town reads" where we all read the same book, and then there are different events around the book. This year they picked a mystery, which I don't usually read, but this one was GREAT! It's called "Dog On It" by Spencer Quinn. It's about a detective and his dog, and the story is told from the dog's point of view....
7:03 am
Trifioso
I highly, highly recommend it for all my dog-loving friends. the author is hilarious, and completely writes what I am sure our dogs would say....
7:04 am
Haz1558
It sounds like fun!
7:04 am
Trifioso
it is haz, as well as being a well-crafted mystery.
7:04 am
Mudd
I'm stuck again on another 8, Haz. fe 8 ... please

4:05 pm
wht
Is the en6 a fish?
4:05 pm

4:05 pm
Pinikula
thx lynxxx
4:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne

4:06 pm
Pinikula
do6 = dbl both last letters
4:06 pm
wht
fe6 is an herb that tastes like anis
4:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have that I thought.
4:06 pm
Pinikula
what about the fe6/30?
4:06 pm
wht
That is the fe6,27 Don't have the fe6,30
4:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
That's the one I need.
4:07 pm
Pinikula
sounds like we're all in the same boat!
4:07 pm
mo
Kaplan ... alter last letter of the other fe6.
4:07 pm
Pinikula
at least I'm gathering we're all looking for en6/21, fe8/60, and fe6/30?
4:07 pm
Pinikula
oooh, thx mo!
4:08 pm
wht
ty mo, that is weird.
4:08 pm

do6.21 sounds like Marie Osmond brother but uses 2 sets double letters
4:09 pm
Pinikula
now down to the fe8
4:09 pm
wht
That just leaves the fe8
4:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
en6/21 is hard to clue. En, what you do on stage and facial spasm (don't double the consonant)
4:10 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Fe8 is it----let's focus!

Now I am do4/5 and have no more words le4/7 to find.Now I fe4/7 hungry so I ne4/5 to go fe 4/8 myself dinner. I will be back later on tonite to le4/5 a hand w/clues.

8:35 pm
phandmd

8:35 pm
Minveryork
el8/50 is Ell** Degeneres plus consonant plus dog pest
8:36 pm

you need to put a hump letter in front of the c of the previous word and then add most of frozen water
8:36 pm

Min - be sure your Other Half doesn't enter it for you, thinking he's doing you a favour.
8:39 pm
Jacula
My OOther Half did that once, like ripping out the last page of a god book. He's never made the same mistaake again.
8:40 pm

thanks for the clue and congrats on finishing up Phandmd
8:41 pm
Jacula
Min - why does he have such an emotional reaction to Babble?
8:42 pm
Riverdance
Mine hates it too
8:43 pm
Jacula
Is it the men don't like us being on the internet, chatting, etc., to anyone other than them?
8:43 pm
Minveryork
He doesn't like it because he thinks that I spend too much time on the computer¬ enough time paying attention to him or doing chores. He's jealous I guess
8:43 pm
Jacula
And, once they arrive home, getting a meal on the table should be more important than finishing the grid.
8:44 pm
Riverdance
That is my life to the "T" Min
8:44 pm
Riverdance
I dont even start the grid until all that is done and dishes done and laundry done and.....
8:44 pm
Jacula
btw, if you don't want your raking to suffer, don't start and not finish a grid.
8:45 pm
crosshair

Nef, its not a hard grid, I did it this mornign, in one hour, now just hanging about a bit after some awful days at work. I think I need another new job.

Bye redturtlehead! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
10:11 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef! I have a story of clues in profile if you need
10:14 pm
Nef
you know, red, there are always days in our work when we think that we have the toughest job in the world. If those days outnumber the days that we think we have the best job in the world; then (to me at least) it's time to change the area you work in. Not just your location ("same sh**, different place and day") but the area you work in too
10:14 pm
Nef
Thanks, Min! I love your clue stories!!!
