jillibus

Lickety has said it takes him about 10 minutes to set his up

12:25 am

dcseain

quite so, Dee :)

12:25 am

dfmchfhf

That is a possibility, I can take some time to write what Lickety's has done

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

o's are: or 4, 4, ot 4, 5

12:26 am

jillibus

how about contacting him, dfm, to see if he wants to pass the baton to you?

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

h's are: ho 4, 4, 5, 4 hu 4

12:27 am

dfmchfhf

only problem is that I'd need to find a hosting service

12:27 am

dfmchfhf

not sure how google pages works, I'll look into that

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

r's are: ra 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, ro 4, 4, 4

12:28 am

dcseain

he moved off googlepages for some reason, maybe number of hits

12:29 am

jillibus

Or maybe we shoulod ask DrG to compensate Lickety for what he has done to attract more players to Babble and entice him to continue.

12:29 am

jillibus

hi dc -- I thought Lickety said goodlepages kept changing things on him.

12:30 am

12:33 am

Erda

Same here, Jilli -- on the point of giving up on this...

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

yqw

12:34 am

12:35 am

rururocks

hi dee

12:36 am

rururocks

hi jilli

12:37 am

jillibus

So should we gang up and contact Dr G to employ Lickety for pay? We con't expect his charity forever -- especially now that mrp no longer babbles and he never did. He made Expert when she was having such a bad time with osteomyelitis (I thinks that's what it was)

12:37 am

vanillaslice

hi, there wouldn't be 100 wds in this surely?

12:38 am

jillibus

hello ruru xx

12:39 am

dfmchfhf

there are close to 100 though -- 93

12:39 am

flosey

12:39 am

pugmama763

12:39 am

vanillaslice

12:39 am

dfmchfhf

12:42 am

flosey

well, couldn't have been simpler!

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

6:40 am

Mark Jones

Sounds good!

6:47 am

Mark Jones

I hate this puzzle.

6:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am puzzling over a prefix meaning beside. I need coffee.

6:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wish we could have back the big grid from the other day that I had no time for.

6:48 am

uusue2

it is pretty sucky today, mark. And kap, if you make coffee I'll have some :-)

6:49 am

uusue2

kap - said prefix is the opposite of ortho, if that's any help (probably not)

6:49 am

Mark Jones

Do you mean that pa4 that is pa+ the first two letters of the well-known Egyptian pharaoh's first names

6:49 am

MollyL

Kap, that prefix is used in a word for a person who works in a legal office.

6:49 am

uusue2

at least i think it is. i need coffee too.

6:49 am

Mark Jones

For some reason, I don't drink coffee.

6:49 am

uusue2

like the ****medics who will come and take me away at some point if i don't get more sleep.

6:50 am

Mark Jones

Yeah. That one.

6:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

yeah, I got that part

6:51 am

uusue2

the other part is kind of a military term

6:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

for the rest of it I do need coffee.

6:51 am

Mark Jones

Hmmm. Same.

6:51 am

MollyL

Also the child's game that uses x's and o's reversed.

6:51 am

berri

i dont like this puzzle

6:51 am

uusue2

or if you think of the 3x3 kid's game with x and o, swap the first two syllables

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Got the 10. Who cares about the rest?

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think there is consensus that this is a sucky grid.

6:52 am

uusue2

well, lop off the first three letters of the 10 and you'll have a 7

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ah, Utica New York. A vibrant and bustling city.

I have a small compressor left over from my pottery days -- works really well for spray painting

12:20 pm

MollyL

Does it make a lot of spatter Nan?

12:20 pm

mixi6

The rest of the rooms I have done only one coat. I think I put this one on thicker. I will not spray because it would make a mess. I am a very neat painter.

12:20 pm

cybernan

behr paint is the best -- have used it for 40 years

12:21 pm

cybernan

no, because the compressor and the nozzle are small

12:21 pm

cybernan

frog tape is the answer for me

12:21 pm

MollyL

I am going to try that then. I hate rollers and brushes. And I am NOT a neat painter.

reading back in the garden/deer issue..when we used to live further north we used to have issues with the moose,deer and rabbits.what we used to do was plant 2 gardens.one for us with fence posts and chicken wire surrounding, and way on the other side of the property a second garden full of nice leafy lettuce for the wildlife

12:29 pm

crosshair

and in season,this set up helped fill the freezer for the winter:)

12:33 pm

8:03 pm

lynxxx

I know, the la5 is off my menu too

8:03 pm

rururocks

OK. It's better than the real old fashioned way :).

a large, primarily nocturnal, lizardlike reptile, Sphenodon punctatum, of islands near the coast of New Zealand: the only surviving rhynchocephalian.

11:00 pm

jillibus

well, ty babrab --that got me over halfway -- but these words are so useless!

11:01 pm

stidmama

gee -- didn't know that word (rhynchocephalian) but not surprised it's a hold-over from earlier times.

11:02 pm

stidmama

occurs to me that perhaps "Liz" from "Magic School Bus" may be a rhynchocephalian!

11:02 pm

stidmama

or at least a tu7

The Red River of the North crested within its banks tonight. Now the sandbags and dike have to hold for a week or so for the water to recede.

11:06 pm

stidmama

oh no BR. *sadder mama look* their poor families.

11:07 pm

So awful when humans think they can "tame" Nature and then learn she was only taking a break... but we have to live where the soils are fertile.

11:11 pm

stidmama

I wish I could stay -- so many lovely interesting people I rarely get to see anymore. BUT the migraine is threatening to come back. (we have been on break too, but kid was told he MUST have the assignment finished today. Not like I dropped it on him from out of nowhere). AND I have only one day left to sleep in, so want to make the most of it.

11:11 pm

Take good care of yourself, stid

11:27 pm

jmcnrick

11:29 pm

licketySplitAUS

It's Sunday here ;-)

11:29 pm

licketySplitAUS

I just updated BabbleExpert that zip file - the Refresh Clues button wasn't working.

11:30 pm

jmcnrick

:-D i am always mildly surprised you are in the future lickety!

11:30 pm

jillibus

Lickety -- did you not get my emails and FB messages?

11:30 pm

licketySplitAUS

jmcnrick - crazy and long story. Short story - someone set fire to our car at 3am in the morning. The car was parked next to the house and the house nearly caught fire too

11:30 pm

jmcnrick

OMG!

11:31 pm

DR1965

I saw that on FB Lickety- I am just glad you are all safe

11:31 pm

jmcnrick

why would anyone do such a thing!

11:31 pm

licketySplitAUS

jilibus - I saw an email, but was a bit busy. I never check my facebook cause it has too many messages cause I have over 3000 friends

11:31 pm

snags

how dreadful lickety.

11:32 pm

licketySplitAUS

jmcnrick - we are discovering more every day - There is a physopath in the neighbourhood, and he's picking on us - and blaming us for something that happened to him.

11:32 pm

jillibus

glad to know, Lickety -- sorry to have bothered you at such a time

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

damn i am not liking my new firefox :-(

11:32 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear lickety that is going to be hard to deal with--have you talked with the police?

11:33 pm

jillibus

why, jmc? I have firefox too.

11:33 pm

licketySplitAUS

jmcnrick - yes the police are investigating - but there is not proof

11:33 pm

jmcnrick

*sigh* that is so often the way--but in civil court you need less proof

11:33 pm

jillibus

what a nightmare for you and your family, Lickety

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

do you have the newist version jilli

11:34 pm

licketySplitAUS

it is certainly the most distressing time ever, not sure how things will pan out

11:34 pm

snags

keep you and your family in my prayers, praying for an end to all the problems.

11:34 pm

jmcnrick

my son had a stalker for a while and it was harrowing!

11:35 pm

jmcnrick

but it turned out okay in the end.

11:35 pm

o-o

I hope you and your family can stay safe, Lickety.

11:35 pm

jmcnrick
