1:55 am

Alti

Was just telling Sapphie, I'd not have gotten the 8's if I hadn't read an email from my dad when he was telling me about the holiday trip that they just got back from! He actually used both words in the email too!

mellowmasher

10:10 am

setting_sun

Neither can I. I never get any 8's or 9's. I think I've got one 9 ever on this. However, if you need a 4, I'm your man! :)

10:14 am

setting_sun

Very disappointed in the absence of 'wang' though.

10:18 am

mellowmasher

10:21 am

M&O

C'mon, you happy bunny-- help the rest of us poor turtles who don't see any 8's

10:49 am

sapphie

How could I miss my hawaiian goose??? LOL

12:04 pm

Dani

Used to do a fair amount of birdwatching when younger, now watch the other variety ;). My mind is a sponge for useless info too!!! Wish it knew more words though!!!

137/4.82/1785

5:10 pm

M&O

Hey-- just an hour ago you were begging for help with the 8's-- help those less fortunate than you!

5:16 pm

allstar

hey what are complainign about M&O--I only got 53 words!

5:17 pm

M&O

Only 79-- and no 8's. Boo Hoo.

5:18 pm

allstar

you only got 9 since we left school? Your slowing down-- get the little one to help

5:21 pm

M&O

Just got on. No long ones, not even any "cool" ones.

5:22 pm

Christine

There's seven birds (at least), a fish and a feather... back to the search..

5:23 pm

allstar

M&O-did u put a little ~sugar~ on it?

5:24 pm

M&O

setter-- was that a thinly veiled hint? How many points? Is it worth my time to figure it out?

5:24 pm

M&O

A feather?

5:26 pm

allstar

M&O only 12 5 letters

5:29 pm

M&O

Did you get the old TV show one?

5:30 pm

allstar

thats a big 10-4

5:50 pm

runningforhome

A hint for the 65-point eight: think Southern.

5:52 pm

allstar

woohoo-just hit 70 words!

5:59 pm

runningforhome

Agh, I keep trying to make 'gaping' even though I know it's not there!

6:10 pm

Christine

An old television show? Why can't I see it, I'm certainly old enough that I probably saw it.

6:11 pm

allstar

christine- think a show that uses 10-4

6:18 pm

Kaetchen

'ugli' is a kind of fruit, yes?

6:18 pm

Christine

Setter - Yes,I'm thinking about that Joe Friday thing, but I can't name it.
So many 'almost' words.

6:22 pm

Christine

Marianne and JB - are you there?

6:31 pm

Christine

Listen up --- Setter and I gave you that one, so you owe us. One-by-one, whisper a word to us -- eveyone else, don't listen, until it's your turn....no eavesdropping.

6:38 pm

runningforhome

Kaetchen - you're right about the fruit.

6:43 pm

M&O

"Think Southern"? That's pretty broad....

6:43 pm

Kaetchen

Tx, running. We're back to 'ragu' being a term for a specific sauce, not just a name brand, too. That's what I get for being food-obsessed.

6:50 pm

runningforhome

Alright... Southern, or even Texan.

6:52 pm

Atalante

118 / 4.78 / 1518 ... and time for bed

6:54 pm

M&O

These hints take too much time. The first 3 letters are... (Just Kidding!)

6:55 pm

M&O

Sarcasm and irony in print are so hard to do well.

6:55 pm

Kaetchen

Have to head to class:
110/1233. Stupid long words are elusive.

6:57 pm

M&O

Can't be. There's no "V" here.

7:03 pm

Dani

i am the queen of four letter words i haven't even heard of, too bad i'm not the queen of 7 or 8 letter words

7:09 pm

Dani

i'll trade someone four unheard of 4 letters for one eight ??? :)

7:20 pm

allstar

Christine this is really a "drag" isn't it?

7:22 pm

M&O

I have a 7-letter gland for one of the letters in an 8... going once....

7:22 pm

Christine

I have only one 8, but I'll give you a clue -- have you spoken to my XH?

7:27 pm

M&O

was the question the clue?

7:36 pm

MerLi

This is dumb. I just found an 8 and as far as the dictionary is concerned it ain't even a word. Startes with G - for 55 points.

8:32 pm

Christine

I'm spending far too much time here - a good grid, not too easy, but the words come fast, to keep you interested.
Okay - that biggie begins with D. Ooh, I think I see the one beginning with G.

8:43 pm

Christine

M-&-O.. yes, dear - the question is the clue.
Mer Li - I found your 8, and a similar 7 - no definition, for either word.

9:34 pm

Dani

M&O, thank you :)
hey, hope no one minds, but this is just the dumbest word-clag

9:36 pm

Dani

hey, where is everyone at?

me- 93/4.61/1035

9:59 pm

runningforhome

10:21 pm

allstar

81-489-1076

10:47 pm

Christine

I'm back - and I found another word that has no definition.... thanks for CLAG - also no definition.
So - 143 words for 1832, and I realy should get on with my life.See y'all tomorrow.

10:49 pm

Christine

Ooops - found a monkey and an ogre.... woohoo.

10:57 pm

Dani
