12:01 am

flosey

just when I thought I'd get this done!! U.S. must have chanaged their clocks??

12:01 am

flosey

changed

12:02 am

flosey

don't believe I'll get 91 more words in 3 minutes!!

12:03 am

flosey

aha!! silly me! my clock is slow

12:04 am

flosey

too many distractions here

12:05 am

rbud

wow, 91 - sorry I was right about how many (the under 100 guess)

12:08 am

cybernan

hello everyone

12:08 am

flosey

hi Nan and rbud

12:09 am

rbud

hiya, nan and flo

12:15 am

jessmom

12:16 am

rbud

12:16 am

cybernan

12:19 am

melonheadjujube

hi!

12:19 am

cybernan

crashing -- good night everyone

12:19 am

jessmom

thanks, definitely stuck now at 7

12:19 am

melonheadjujube

I was kind of hoping tedia might be the plural of tedium. . .

12:19 am

rbud

night nan, hi melon

12:21 am

rbud

center O is being stubborn... and don't have a 7 yet, other than that, I'm doing great here, haha

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

12:21 am

melonheadjujube

12:23 am

rbud

12:24 am

rbud

12:24 am

jessmom

12:26 am

rbud

12:26 am

Christine

Oops, didn't see someone had responded.

12:26 am

flosey

does anyone else have lickety's clues for Saturday?? rather than Thursday

12:27 am

rbud

(but it's a word, the po4, now that I look, lol)

12:27 am

flosey

sorry, rather than Friday!!

12:28 am

rbud

I had to reload the page, but I have this set. (didn't peek at anything but the date and word count, haha)

12:29 am

flosey

thanks rbud, will close it and come in again

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

just got the pi7. I tried to think of ridiculous compound words, and sure enough. . .

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

nbt nbs

12:37 am

jessmom

the same goes for the fi7. I wouldn't recommend clicking the dictionary.com link - it goes to the site, but a very different word.

12:37 am

rbud

well, shucks, it's not pief*** (that part we put shoes on)

12:38 am

rbud

you mean it gets more ridiculous than that? (pi 7)

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

almost. you might build one. . .

12:39 am

jwr

is Enable acting up again. All I got for definitions yesterday was the word "edger"

12:39 am

rbud

just got it! haha!

12:39 am

aebmusica

fi7 is an aquatic bird

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

just got the tr7. It is one letter short of a word I already knew. Lucky guess.

12:39 am

rbud

all I got yesterday was "ordinance"

12:39 am

jessmom

today it is f***head

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

thanks aebmusica. I took a guess and got the fi7

12:40 am

rbud

now, that fi7 is way more odd than the pi 7, lol

12:41 am

jwr

someone else got magniloquence. Here's the tourist lament: I went to Enable, and all I got was this (fill in the blank)

12:42 am

jwr

someone said they had emailed Dr. God about it, but I'm not sure he has anything to do with the dictionary.

12:42 am

rbud

hahaha!!! but it looks to be working for me today. sure wasn't yesterday.

12:42 am

rbud

then it didn't matter what you clicked on, either, got the same wrong one every time

12:42 am

ursh

stats for the lone O and the lone I in the second column please

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

I got the ro6 and the ro4 that follows the ro7, but I am stymied by that ro7!

12:43 am

jwr

aha! rbud - now you can look up those silly words (which I don't have yet) and probably find out they're dead serious.

12:43 am

ursh

lower lone O I mean

12:44 am

rbud

op 5/12

12:45 am

rbud

in 4/7, an abbreviation, I think

12:46 am

ursh

ty rbud got them both - brain dead here :)

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

12:49 am

rbud

SMom, if you do a Google search on the word, it will give you a definition. Not as convenient as the link here, but it works. I don't think morewords.com gives definitions.

11:18 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jacula!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

11:18 pm

Jacula

Hi Minver. Lovely to see you again. Are you doing your story clues again?

11:20 pm

Jacula

I'm never sure of what the time difference is re me in UK and Babble time. It seems to be the normal 6am flip time for UK right now. So, I arrived a little too early.

11:20 pm

Minveryork

I do my story clues whenever I can.Have not done one in a long time, but I did write one today. Most are already done though.Have not seen U in ages Jacula. How R U?

11:22 pm

Jacula

I'm fine (ish) minver. How are you? I've done with this grid but it's nice to know you are back and doing your clue stories once more.xx

11:23 pm

Jacula

I used to do clue stories before you did and then we got together. That was a very long time ago on Babble though.

11:25 pm

Jacula

Any help needed yet, Harp?

11:25 pm

Minveryork

I did not know U did clue stories. I hope I did not rain on your parade when I started them.Rarely write them now

11:27 pm

harpjane

oh lordy i am going slow but now ready for help yet

11:28 pm

I am finished! I have fireworks! ro7/44 was my last word

11:29 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone need any clues before I retire for the night?

11:29 pm

Jacula

No, Minver, you didn't rain on my parade. You did them far better than I did (though I feared you were revealing far too much about your personal life at the time when you did so) and you freed my time up to write stories I would actually be paid for writing. (And why that in UK is a whole 'nother story now is too complicated to explain on here, but if you look on Facebool re magazine writers or Twitter Joanne Harris you might see.

11:30 pm
