Hi, all.

12:35 am

ARB

This is not a user-friendly grid.

12:36 am

TraderKate

agreed ARB lack of E tiles :(

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

no, it is not, ARB

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

not much in the way of prefixes nor suffixes either.

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

ca8

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

a word I learned from my audio engineer boyfriend

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

Whole mess o'phantoms, too.

12:44 am

TraderKate

Hi melon :) haven't found a di prefix word, wonder if there are any...

12:44 am

dofith

ca7 x2

12:44 am

TraderKate

oh, I did find one...

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

I found a di word, not sure if the di is a prefix, tho it appears to be di plus a word

12:46 am

TraderKate

if it's the same one I have it's a very small critter found in water and earth

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

actually, it is kind or a fun grid. Sometimes the ones where a word exits as itself, and with suffix -ed, and er, and s, AND ers, it is exasperating.

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

yep, that di-

12:47 am

TraderKate

:)

12:47 am

Kamanjah

all I've found is a plant, but I've only been here 5 minutes...

12:47 am

TraderKate

lol, there's alwats some plural left out that drives you crazy :D

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

clue for the oi5?

12:48 am

Kamanjah

haha, Kate! Last night's plurals got me - think it was last night...

12:48 am

TraderKate

12:48 am

hurshy

oi5 a central consonant in a bed of vowels

12:49 am

ursh

melon can you clue the ca8 please

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

I suspected as much, so far my monkeys haven't gotten it yet. Try, try again. . .

12:49 am

Kamanjah

thanks, hursh

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, I had to turn left!

12:50 am

TraderKate

monkey got it on the first try! ty hurshy :)

12:50 am

dofith

oi5 - sounds like a thought, poorly pronounced.

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

heart-ish. Auto followed by a palindromic arrangement with three consecutive vowels

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

LOL, dofith, it does!

12:51 am

TraderKate

we had two in a row that lots of suffixes Kam... both days I got hung up on a coup0le of them.

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

ursh, see my clue below: heart-ish, etc

12:53 am

Kamanjah

Yep, had to go thru my list and add plurals before I fell to listing, lol!

12:53 am

dofith

Do you live on Elm Street zooz?

1:58 am

zoozzoom

LOL hello, Ruru!

1:59 am

grannyrose

*giggle* hope you have fun with this grid zooz. it was hard yakka for me.

2:00 am

grannyrose

did any of you see that an autopsy was done on a deceased whale. the poor creature had 28 plastic bags in it's stomach.

2:00 am

zoozzoom

poo sorry everyone

2:01 am

grannyrose

smarty pants zooz... took me over an hour to find that one... loll

2:01 am

gapeach

I think the reason for nightmares are because our minds and thoughts are on over-load. I've tried to meditate but my mind won't slow down enough for me to do it. Prayer does help, I believe. Blessings for you and your parents.

2:01 am

zoozzoom

Yes I saw that on a news website, Rose. So sad.

2:02 am

TraderKate

poor whales.. they think the bags are jellyfish apparently :(

2:02 am

sprite

3:08 am

zoozzoom

Going to give my eyes a break and switch over to sudoku and see todays puzzle. Back later. Take care, TK!
