I missed the clue for the 9-10, can someone reclue?
3:32 pm
hokie carla
it's a compound - front + part of the leg. but not the part I kept seeing. that threw me off for a while.
3:37 pm
hokie carla
and I'm finding this grid very difficult. 71 left.
4:03 pm
rbud
the part of the leg you are looking for is also the same as a slang word used to describe a weapon made in prison from, say, a toothbrush or spoon, maybe.
4:05 pm
rbud
but not shiv - I just searched it to test my hint, and it's the OTHER slang word, haha!
4:23 pm
player girl
Is the part of the leg the second half of the word? I am not getting it.
4:24 pm
player girl
Ohhhh, got it.
4:25 pm
player girl
Thank you rbud
4:25 pm
hokie carla
makes me think of a cut of meat. lamb maybe? but yeah, like a shiv.

6:14 pm
ch1212
And, may I have the 9 clue from you? I didn't get the 'front' part either
6:16 pm
mkg
Ok so here goes: first part of the word is either front, or word that is pronounced same as the number after three, plus the part of the leg. Do you need me to break it down further?
6:16 pm
mkg
And i would love clues for the pe 8s.
6:17 pm
ch1212

Sorry freep cant find the pe.
6:28 pm
ch1212
mkg, the pe8 is pe + word for "vibrating, twinkling, trembling". To get the 7, drop the last letter.
6:30 pm
rbud
Pe 7 and 8 = an American Indian dried meat food. Usually spelled with a double letter, I thought, which is why I didn't try it till now, haha! Thanks, freep!
6:32 pm
rbud
wait, there's another one? Hmmm.... time to check Lickety, ha!
6:33 pm
mkg
sorry but must be my dull day. not idea what the pe word is. sorry
6:34 pm

6:34 pm

Speaking of rhubarb, no joy with the 2 plants the slugs hadn't killed this year. One has died due to slug slime suffocating the root and the other has almost given up the ghost due to slugs eating its shoots the moment they emerge. I planted 6 rhubarb seeds in the greenhouse in the spring but they've come to nothing. :(
11:57 pm
cybernan
put crushed eggshells or better yet, crushed seashells around the base of the plant --- they will cut themselves to ribbons trying to get to the plant.
11:57 pm
Jacula
I have managed to beat the birds and the foxes to most of the white and redcurrant crop this year, though. Picking raspberries and strawberries twice a day, too.
11:58 pm
cybernan
me 6-7 please?
11:58 pm

Oh, cybernan, I wish that did help with our molluscs, vut it doesn't. I think they must wear armour!
