ailest
lol nan - uh, no, you must brush up on you professional basketball players (retired) - LOL
they have been under another name - ....but it's the first time i have seen them
noooooooooooo LA!!!!! didn't he say he slept with 10,000 women?
oooooh.. glad that you are expanding your horizons... i am just so jealous.
he lost 10 bucks to me - we bet on who was older, and i won!
i think that was kareem helen
i think his total was much higher actually, something like 30,000
that isn't who I thought is was from the small icon, Leslie
i believe that was wilt chamberllain...or bill russell
thanks chj...now i am off to sleep my cat is staring at me
LOL - TO !!!
chamberlain is the guy who claimed 25000 women
i've been doing some investigating on helen's and all i have so far is that it's related to hunter s. thompson, which i could have figured out from the pic
ren- changed profile?
Nite Renfield, good to see you again.
yep la - on the right track
oh! now i have it. best clue for me would have been basketball team i dislike

Hi Matty - silence reigns right now, it seems!
hiya everyone
I'm supposed to fly a week from tomorrow...
Lickety said the list was up, but it seems to be yesterday's! Many have found it so
Hi Jen
hello everyone
Hi allstar - we're all confused!
Greetings aleksia

Yep...
ya I guess i should have read some of the previous chat
well, since the security is so tigh t right now, hopefully everything will be just fine
Morning matty I hope everything calms down by the time you go
I still haven't got Lickety. Have closed and re started but still yesterdays clues.
Yes, Verna, we've all done that.
Hello Frances
Morning jilli
Me too, Frances!
I spent all my life working in the airline business. I feel so sorry for the staff as well as the passengers.
is this a tuff grid for anyone else?
Not the easiest
I'm having a very hard time, but some early leavers were getting the 8 and 7s and whizzing along :-(
i have only 1 6 nad 1 7
and
haks
sorry
havn't even found a 7 yet
got 6 6's tho!!
railnet
I'm no good at the long ones but I do have one 7 and 5 6s - but I've been here for quite a while and am going to turn in soon!
i have 331 points but only 43 words
Jilli - you r ahead of me on the 7 - I haven't found one yet. I do have 10 6s but that is hardly much to brag about :)
got another 6
this is a hard puzzle for me
lots of almost-words
i think i am done for the night
night all
aleksia- i too have 43 words-406 points
good morning, hope this is easier than yesterdays ?
Morning M3
sprite would hate this - 12 K words
Hi M3
ohh
100 words down 75 to go gonna be a hard slog!!!!!!!
jilli - you are right about that. I have 10 ks but can't find the other two.
hello
well, I only have 5 Ks and 70 words. Brain is fried so think I'll go to bed
ohh this is another horrid one ewwww
Nite jilli.
what the F!! this is a hard one!!
MRP - you are right about that !
And we're without lickerty's clues!
Hello mrpresident! It's not easy, that's for sure.
Hi MrP - do you know what happened with Lickety's list? It's still yesterdays's but he said it was up
i have 2 F words
Hello everyone! Did lickety say it was up?? let me ring him
aleksia - there is fl4/11 - take the vowel from the end of the chcolate bar.
HE FORGOT TO PRESS THE BUTTON!!! he is doing it right now!
Haz - is that you in your icon?
Yes, it is. Spangle wanted a rest.
Pretty lady!
Thank you, jillibus. I can't see it myself!
Why not, haz?
Morning Haz
I can see the icon, but can't see the pretty!
Good morning Frances. Another grid to struggle through today....
Well, you should!
Yes - might be a hard slog!
Frances - I almost used that picture ;-)
It was a toss up between this, the fish or the long eared animal.
The booze won!
me too, but you can see what won
So, was I right in thinking that Friday had been designated a word in the grid icon day? In which case I will change.
what is the icon theme today??
I've deserved one so often
Correct Haz
clues are up!
Yes, Haz. Originally it was supposed to be Pubs, but it got changed
Hooray, MrP and Lickety!!!!
Thanks Mr P!
Okay, I've changed. And thanks to mrpresident and lickety!
You are all most welcome!
sorry everyone - I did them before - but missed something
Thanks lickety - and I'll be even more grateful later on when I use the list.
OH, this isn't even english!!!!!!!!
True, Mr P.
Haz - I thought I knew your clue but I was wrong
fl4/8 is my icon.
If you don't use the list, you are a friggin genius!! to finish this one!
Some people may be able to do it without a list or clues, but most would have to have assistance somewhere along the line. I take all the help I can get!
Me too!
And me! Though I generally use the list once I get home, rather than at work.
hi, i've got insomnia.
Just found the 8!!!
Not pleasant - and this grid isn't nice either.
I still have fu**** as my phantom word
ca8 compound word!
wooohooo ishult!!!
boker tov, lshult.
nearly lunchtime, but good morning to all!!
how're things where you are, ishult?
thi shas got to be the most challenging one yet!! in my time anyway!
I'm in the far south of the country, so tankfully am not directly affected
tankfully you are safe!
a local bo (21) was killed two days ago, lots of people are going to the funeral. Brings it all closer. Doubt it will be the last one before it's all over!!
Such a shame it all came to this... I feel for both countries and hope the UN does something sane soon.
so do we all
i'm so sorry. i've only been to Israel once. actually i have avolunterr opportunity in beit sh'an but my family won't let me go just now. of all things, i had hoped to take a side trip to haifa.
Shalom Everyone
Beit Sh'an has been hit by rockets, so mabey it's not the best time unless you can find something further south
Shalom ARB
Beit Shan is Cleveland, OH's sister city, so we are particularly affected by that news.
shalom, ARB, my friend!
I've been wondering about you.
Hi Ishult. Just saw your chat. Sorry to hear.
ARB! good to see you! hope you are in good spirit
Hi Melon. Been away for 2 weeks. Great excape to Russia. No TV. no papers. Returned to all the bad news.
ah bugger!! russia must have been a treat!!
his father Parent both teach at the school my boys attend
MrP, I am depressed.
so sorry ARB!!
Yes, Russia was a treat -- a little Hermitage, a ^ day cruise on the Volga, ESCAPE from reality.
glad you had a getaway ARB.
Hermitage is a nice wine here!! and a bit of Volga would go down nicely too
Best news / Worst news. Our daughter has agreed to become the offical spokesperson for the prime minister's office. This is going to mean a lot of child caring for my husband and me.
Some nights I cry myself to sleep over the news.
melon, time to stop watching the news darling heart!
you must be kvelling ARB.
Melon, don't watch! And yes I am kvelling as well as worrying about her 3 kids.
MrP - art at the hermitage and Russian red wine on the Volga!
you're right. that's why i'm here.
hi Ishult ,ARB and everyone else
so cool ARB!! Hi jaydee!
Boker Tov Jaydee
shalom, JayDee
Boker T. im also back from 3 weeks in New York.
You had a news overdose, I'm sure. I had a wonderful underdose.
Yes, but it was still good to be there for a while,
We go there at the end of the month for Labor Day Weekend with our daughter and granddaughter in Vermont and then on to Chicago for a week. Back before the hagim.
My daughter and twin grand daughters are in NY,hence the reason for going as often as poss.Im going back for the hagim
I agree. Got to keep contact with those grandchildren despite the miles. I was there in March as well as June.
aha! got the 8
I am officially, in my capacity as a babbler, declaring this grid KLINGON!
passed halfway. going to get some shuteye. shalom to all & to all a good {timezone-appropriate-word}
cause if you can recognise any of these strange words other than!! good luck!!
It's a shocker, mrpresident. Let's just hope not too many new people try this today or it will put them right off!
put them off alright!! I am put off!!
Not just me then. I've struggled to 61 and now I'm banging my head on the wall!
I'm persisting out of stubbornness, but I keep wondering - how on earth can you clue that?
Hi all. Has anyone got any idea what the ae words are? I am sure I have tried ALL combinations of letters LOL
I can't clue most of these without 'spelling them out!'... I don't like it, but I might have to zip it during clue time!
ae plus the American Secret Service, and then a consonant ending for the adjective ae5.
Angb... it isn't english!! hope you have a second language... preferably klingon! to help you
Oh dear ... no ... is this going to be a bad start to my weekend?
oh Haz! you will be the shining star today! even though I don't get it.... still love ya!
Haz I am sure I tried that one. Even the computer didn't recognise it LOL.
hello all
Hi everyone, well, this looks a bit easier than yesterdays
ae 5/12 - to do with rust spores. American secret service goes under initials to do with intelligence.....
ha ha ha ha ha ha... you are funny ted!!
Thanx Haz. The worry I have is that you had worked out that that was a word! Are you a Klingon?
hehehehehe angb!
No, Angb - it has been in the grid before, but my secret weapon is www.morewords.com. I can't stand monkeying around with letters, scanning word lists is more my style.
Does morewords work the same way as A2Z?
Haz is a 'smart woman!' and she clues like a klingon!
Yes, I don't mind testing MY vocabulary. But who uses this one?
mrpresdent, how's the weather across the Tasman?
If you know the first and second letters and the number value - type the letters you know, leave dashes for the rest and it brings up the word list. A great resource in my opinion.
10 more to go, and my monkey is demanding overtime pay
bloody marvellous! fine fine and fine across the NSW region
I have just added that link to my favourites ...
oops.........20 more
Hope you are sending some our way then!
morning all :) ...99 words in my 30 minute challenge this morning...
kalea, you lie
I will have to try that site later on, thanks
20, that is better!
lol
You're welcome, Pappou - hope you find it helpful.
Good morning sherb!
Hi all! Any clues for the ca8 please?
Maddie............its a small cows hide
hello sherb! buckle your seatbelt... it will be a bumpy ride!
FIREWORKS
congrats ARB
ARB IS GOD!!
Congratulations ARB!
Congrats. ARB!
WELL DONE ARB!!!! GOOD WORK!! CONGRATS!
very well done ARB!!
morning Haz and mrp and everyone :) how can there possibly be FIVE words from the bottom G... not in English anyway...
Just a combination of Lickety's list and AtoZ help
I have 3 of them sherb!
Believe it or not I have all those G words. I just have real probs with vowel starting words!!!!
gift
gifts
sherb - think of your Scots.
oops, sorry!!!
thanks sherb!
YAY got all of the g words down the bottom!!
now give us some klingon words!
LOL, sherb, I was hoping for the other 2
got em all now... *blushing*
there's two that start like the kind of dog David Blunkett has...
gu 4/8 = to lead someone but leave off the last vowel
Who's David Blunkett?
and the plural
Sherb, how kind! I just arrive with my words on paper and you give me presents - the last 2 g's I needed to use that bottom 'g'.:))
A blind politician in Britain.
aha! thanks for that clue, my bottom g's are complete
Ahh - I see LOL
again I ask... what is today's theme!
morning Jac... you're v welcome!! ;)
theme is take a word from the grid
We're doing the same as last Friday and using our icons to illustrate a word from the grid.
MrP - The theme is use your icon as a clue. I haven't changed mine yet.
Time for another glass of wine I think. With crossed eyes I might see some of the words.
Haz I don't know what most of these words mean LOL
ok then!! what word in english is there that I can use??
that's the theme every Friday now... but I'm still blue from yesterday cos I liked it so much... and I've already given away more than one word!!
lol
any clues for the ca8 please?
Mine is a cheat, a French word for a policeman fl4/8
ca8........a baby cow's hide
cow hide! make that young cow hide
ca8 - a combination of baby cow and complexion makes the ingredients for soft gloves
nice one...
Ooh, thanks! I hadn't spotted the 8 until then.:)
a baby cow and then if you have dermatitis you have a ----rash
sherb - You mean ni4/5 one!
Thanks for the clue - I had both parts of the ca8 but didnn't think to put them together! Doh! Whats todays theme please?
12 Ks!! and I only have four... sprite will be glad she's missing them...
duh... well spotted Jac... I think I've caught what torgone had yesterday...
can any one tell me what 'supper' is??
dinner?
supper is an evening meal...
do you mean like dinner?
what's for supper?
Supper - haven't had brekkie yet!
Later than dinner.
Evening meal - not as posh as dinner.
later.... so what do I get for supper??
Me, neither, Frances!
my relatives in the southern part of the US refer to the Sunday mid-day meal as dinner and supper is the evening meal.
anything you like mrp...
leftovers, MRP
Thanks for the clue Haz I have been trying to get that one for the last half hour
JFB - I keep thinking you're me when I see your posts - those are my initials. LOL
for the ca/8 i mean
MRP - since your related to lickety - you get just about anything we can fix for you :)
You're welcome, jeannie!
Wasn't clever enough to think of a different player name Jac
JFB - I was given the name Jacula by someone on another forum (due to me being a night owl).
when I was growing up in the north east, dinner was at midday (ie school dinner) and the evening meal was called tea, and a snack later would be supper since I've come south, the midday meal is lunch and supper is in the evening, unless it's more formal, in which case it's dinner why do you ask mrp?
looks like I am going to a Cook Island supper... which apparently means lots of dancing and food!!!
That will be superb mrpresident.
Hope you like taro.
I am sure it will be!! :D :D :D !! especially as it is islander menu!! what is a taro??
mmm... didn't the Cook Islanders practice cannibalism...
oh, maybe I am the main course??
LOL!
Hmmm, like a root vegetable. Sweet potato type of thing.
anybody know the ac5?
no, MRP.....you are too posh to be supper
ac5 - add the ending of the two piece swim wear
Go clue Haz ..
thanks, haz, I needed that one too
Oh no, the Klingon has got me LOL. Good clue I meant.
too many vowels in this grid...
You're welcome!
whew, my c's are done!
taro... yam, sweet potato... mrpresident is the main course... a presidential root!
Yep, me too. Now the dh's LOL
Oh - Indian. British empire is it.
dh's plural... I was pleased with myself for finding one...
I ask again! one ku4??? how does that work??
the first one or the second one, sherb?
lol........only one hip hurrah?
actually, I've got two, singular and plural
We're used to using the plural of ku4.
Maybe the Klingon stole the other one, mrp
heheheheh
mrp-once you get it we'll give you ku___
oh, I see-yes, someone stole an s.
Hello Eva!!
Okay, on a roll, d's done!
BRB, husband just home with fish and chips!!
hi mrp! The first 127 went quite nicely, but now things look bleak.
Done. A darkened room sounds good.
I do not like the E's. They are not showing themselves. Bad E's
back again!
lake
I've now changed my icon (REFRESH!) This should give you clues to 2 words - one se4 and one ki4. The pic is of me way back in 1978 bringing the cows in for milking.
(Sorry the pic's a bit faded but it is 28 years old!)
Hi MVA missed you before
had to get daughter up early, had to have a coffee after!!
if the se4 is you, what's the ki4 Jac?
Sherb - archaic word for a herd of cows.
Not the easiest job! Surprised you didn't need something stronger!!
3 cups of coffee did it!!

'Bye Sherb & MVA.
I am truly sad to say.... the F words are the only real words here!!
meant speak to you soon!
Hi all!Is it obscure word day and no one told me?
what!!
I think I must be the only one enjoying today's grid!
It's extremely obscure word day, and nobody thought to tell the rest of us either.
Is that your masochistic streak coming through, Jac?
only a few A C and D words to go.....
so a few means 20 here
No, I'm just not thinking that many of the words are obscure. LOL
oh Jac... you are truly a Klingon!!
(Mind you, I may change my tune soon!)
tlh Ingan maH!, MrP.
the ca6 and ca7 refer to mackauley ca****... child star in Home Alone
(That's Klingon for 'We are Klingons!')
Jac! you rock!!
I don't want him in my grid!
All right when did the first fi 4 hit the dictionary?
cail
sorry
michael ca** and plural is represented here... from Italian Job!
Qa Tlho!, Mr.P. (Thank you!)
the dog has been here for some time Angh!!
oh Jac!! you are freaking me out!!
NUQ DAQYUJDA'POL? (Where's the chocolate?) *grins*
I don't think Klingons like chocolate....
FORCRYINGOUTLOUD!! WHAT IS THEENLISH VERSIONOF THISGRID!!
MrP - cr5 & 6 - what doors do in spooky films.
ah! that is just too easy!!
fl5 - solar fl***?

double and triple fireworks for you MrP
maj Qa! MrP. (Well done!)
(I'll stop speaking in Klingon now, shall I?)
Congratulations mrpresident! It was the fish and chips that provided the extra brain power. Now you can relax and watch the others suffer.
done and dusted!! i don't know if I can take another one like this!! klingon is just not my language!!
Haz! I 'shoved' that fish down!!
Well done mrp!
MrP - The grid's going to be in Welsh tomorrow. *ducks*

'Bye, MrP. See you on the next grid.
most welcome, amanda
Hi bye MRP
Hello everyone
Hello lynxxx
hi lynxxx - it's a nasty one
hello lynx
Hello lynxxx, nice to see you.
Afternoon all Just popping in to say Hi as I am not playing today.
Yeah - I had a half hour at and managed about 30 ! Don't think I'll be waiting long till I hit the List.
<- <- Some twit keeps speaking Klingon & Welsh and that doesn't help! *grins*
hi everybody!
Morning Haz
lol Jac
Hi FMitch. Ni4/5 to see you!
hello Fran
Hi FranMag.
hi kalea!
and you - I have come as the st6/18
hi jac!
hello Fran
Hi Mitch! 1 more word for 100, then I'm hitting the list
it's very slow going for me today, the e on my keyboard went bad, i have to cut and paste it into the add word box!!!
hi lynxxx!
FranMag - your e's not working?
yikes Fran........no fun at all
Hello FMitch - well done for finding a word to suit your icon!
Ca4/5ful, FMitch, you'll be playing before you know it!:)
no jac, it's taking me forever to input words!
Fran - What happens when you try to use the e' key?
ewww - my P did that once, Fran. It was new keyboard time for me
Well I "played" off line early so I had a few words to choose from then had to go to clients and just got back. LOL Jacs ni** try but not playing today.
It's never the 'z' key that goes, is it?!
my husband brought a new keyboard home, but it appears the serial port has also gone bad, it's a laptop.
Oh dear, Fran, that sounds expensive.:(
jac, nothing at all happens, it's just dead.
Haz, i still havent found that ac5 word from your clue...............my brain must be sleeping without my body
time for a new computer!
Argh, builder in flat below drilling though walls, can't hear myself think and it's worse than the dentists type sound.
ac5/12? Think of what a two piece swimsuit is called, use the last three letters and attach them to ac.
thanks jac!
got it........thanks Haz
i mean haz!!
You're welcome!
*Throws FMitch some ear defenders.*
hi haz, didn't recognize you without your dog! :-)
I know - I'm a French policeman today, fl4/8
I am so sick of machines that have to be thrown out when one little piece of it goes bad
THANKS Jacs, oops sorry didn't mean to shout :)
thanks for that fl4/8 also!
amanda, it's so old, it would cost more to fix it than to get a new one!
Glad you got it, FranMag.
but, yes, built in obsolesence is irritating.
amanda - sadly, it's a throwaway society today. Not much make do & mend li4/8 there used to be.
When things go wrong, my first instinct is to get it repaired. Time and time again, you're told that it is cheaper just to buy new.
I used to work for US computer companies and I remember when the industry standard hard drive was 30mb., mind you I am going back a few years.
yayyyyyyyyy............finished
Congratulations kalea!
Well done, kalea.
yay kalea!!!!
It is sad. And lots of other adjectives too. Not only is it irritating, there are upteen tons of toxic garbage scumming up the planet because of it.
Congrats kalea
thank you all
Yay Kalea!
Congrats Kalea !
it wasn't that long ago fmitch!
I'm going to do some housework, unless there are any clues needed urgently?
Mmmm - that yummy chocolate bar FL5.24 is there again.
We are not supposed to throw batteries into the normal rubbish but there is nowhere locally to recyle them. LOL Fran
Okay - off I go. Bye everyone!
by the way, my picture is from an awesome blog, www.cupca4/9blog.com, "chokylit" makes these awesome creations with very detailed instructions an pictures for those of you that bake.
bye Haz - enjoy your day !
Just changed my icon to clue fi4.8
night Haz
By Haz have a good one.
how did you know his name jfb?
night haz!!
'Bye Haz.
lol Fran
There are lots of ways you can recycle stuff the binmen won't take. I'll post some details in a bit.
Isn't it fun, Mitch. I read something somewhere about a lobby to make electronics producers take back their garbage and dispose of it themselves. I'd sign up for that!
Just that greyhounds are a favourite breed with me and this one looks like one we used to have.
some stores accept used batteries
most cell phone places will take the dead batteries back also.
mornin everyone!
hello Cathy
hi cath! nice fl5/24.
how's the grid today? ty fran
yucky, Cathyar
Fran Just checked out that baking site. Looks wonderful
and i also like your ca4/9 fran
the grid I mean, not your fl5/24
thanks cath!
I'm going to wait for the english version of the grid to come out!
lol amanda...i thought that's what u meant
lol
i'll be spending more time today looking at everyone's icons for clues than for words!
Frances, she doesn't post very often, but when she does it's always droolworthy!
lol jfb!!
jfb..is your icon a clue today? i looked for hound, but not quite there.
LOL JFB, knowing Babble and Enable that could be a long wait!
Fran, looks absolutely yummy
Cathyar its a bit cryptic.
cath, think of a popular name for dogs.
rover?
lol
I've never known a dog called this.
Or me
lol.......me either, come to think of it
lige
Doh!!
what's the first 2 letters jfb?
s'ok jfb...wasn't a word...i tried it just in case
lol
maybe a Latin dog?
Good afternoon fellow Babblers!
fi4.8

hi flask!
hello Flask
Hi Flask. Great minds and all that. Cheers.
lol...i was clue with my rover idea...ty jfb!

lol kalea, just pluaralised myself and didn't feel a thing
rather takes the fun out of it, FMitch
my icon says.........clueless
lol kalea!
Feeling my age today. Does that explain why I keep wanting senile (phantom word).
feather's not giving anything away either ;)
senility is all in the mind
Frances, I keep seeing 'groundhog', although it's nowhere near in the grid
Mind. Am I supposed to have one of those?
Frances I feel like that EVERYDAY....lol
lol Frances...........i think it's optional
oh, sorry! my breakfast was ready...i'm eating now
i should prob go do the same thing feather...now that i got the first few sips of coffee into me.
I'll see if I can find it while making a cuppa
isn't fran's like what you have on a birthday?
think i'll go make some toast! brb
actually.............not having a mind might help with the grid today
kalea I make you right there!
Glad to see there is a fish inthe grid, probably will be needed a great deal today.
lol FMitch
morning all

good morning again - this is great icons as clues!
hello Matty
*pop...not quite dark enuff*

Nope - it's left over from a few days ago.

Une Are you saying that Bush is a fl5/24?
tks for yer help
bye allstar
bye, allstar
brb...need another cup o java
no, a li4/4!!
Ah
hah une & frances
that's funny
good one, Une!
LOL, UN - he is that, indeed!
don't you agree?
I was looking for evil d 4/5, myself. ;-)
Une Wouldn't both apply?
wolvie, where is apex? my daughter lived in Boone for several years . . .
yes!!!
near durham and raleigh, Une
I just counted - there really aren't that many bizarre words, relatively speaking. I counted 41 that I have truly never heard of (not counting the babblets)
ok, i've got to change my icon--can't stand looking at him any longer
I'm not certain I can take looking at your icon all morning, i may become ill
Unea - what word does YOUR icon represent? I can think of several words (not necessarily in the grid) to describe your icon LOL.
LOL again Une - great minds...
several were just listed, matty!!
there's almost an F-word that would work for Une's icon too!
(it's probably how he'd spell it)
the word "dumbass" isn't in the grid une, to describe that person
ha haha, amanda - you are right!
so true, amanda!!
no one li4/8's him it seems.
ok, he's gone--at least as my icon--wish it were true in reality!
worse than that cath - I don't respect him. I have don't have to like someone for that - but he's just the pits.
from a canadian perspective, he does seem a bit of a "ooh...daddy...i wanna be pres just like u" kinda guy... frankly, i think he still has daddy helping run your country.
Une You now have the curly variety rather than just the twisted
I find it pleasantly odd how this site attracts politically l4/8-minded people - maybe it has to do with a certain level of education?
I'm glad your new icon has more brains than your last Uneaixoise! good morning to all
frances, LOL!!
hello abe
disagree with you there, cath - shrub one was never this bad - we would not be where we are if he was in charge. To think he'd be moderate!
hi Kalea
i'm a mere legal secretary...there are doctors, etc out here far more educated that i and i'm not real big on politics, but bush just seems a tad on the slow side
LOL - amanda - you know what rove says - too much education makes you a democrat - or at least not a republican voter.
amanda, this site attracts people who THINK--it's appalling to me that so few in this country use their brains any more!
sound bites and fox news - the demise of brains
Or thi8s country Une
Right, Wolvie - who would have ever thought we'd rather have Daddy?
i like how jay leno makes fun of him so much
my icon isnt a perfect example of my word, but i liked the picture... click to get larger image. :)
oh, and mornin babblers!
hello eva
ooh...eva...is that at boca?
Hi evan! (I don't get it...?)
off to take out the girls (dogs) and grab some java
Hi eva. Got me scratching my head over that one
bye Une
hmmm - is that for sl 5/12, eva?
not sure who wrote + illustrated it
bye for now, Une
wolvie -- nope!
bye Une
And I thought mine was cryptic!!
ahhh - now joining the head scratchers...
it's neat actually...i like it evanadine! just reminds me of "lands end".
Ah! the h5?
you got it amanda!
I got it!
ahhh!
i like the pic, but i don't see the clue...everyone else does...duh moi
Still head scratching.
I believe it is the h5/22 - poem-ish
well...at least i'm finding a lot of h words in searching for it, but i just can't see the 5/22 (yet)
cathy -- think poetry. :)
japanese poetry
what does NaN+ hours left mean?
i know nothing of japanese poetry
Cath, its a poem of 3 lines
cath, take ha 4/5, change the last letter of that to a 5 point letter, then add 5th vowel.
Just got it - got the word mixed up with the moari war dance ! Double doh!
got it...dang...had to google it
tks!
Esprit - it's how long the grid will still be up. Try refreshing the page
*happy to learn new word*
ty
i think NaN means "not available now"? refresh
nan = need a (word) nerd
lol byz
cock-a-doodle-doo got the ha5/22 (stops scratching head)
Hey All!
Hi Lickety!
hello lickety
hi lickety
Hi Likety!
Wow - HELLO! How's the grid?
Hard work!!!
so far, so good. just started tho
its doable
not too bad...tks for clue-givers and pages like your own to help!
interesting today
You know I love to give you all a helping hand - even if I don't play myself!
and we appreciate the hand
I'd love to throw a spanner in the Chatterbox tonight!
Your help is MUCH appreciated, Lickety! I can't thank you enough
a spanner?
we cried yesterday when we couldn't get into the page - you should have been here. We need you. :-)
Spanner in the works ...
what's a spanner?
<:)
Ok here is the spanner :
uh oh - and what might this spanner be? ;-)
*frightened of the unknown*
it's what North Americans call a wrench, Cath
Please please share with us, the place (position, time of day, mood etc) it was when you first realised you were not a kid - but an Adult
it hasn't happened yet.
you mean i can't be a kid anymore?
I just turned 40 in june...prob then lol
what if we haven't gotten there yet?
I am still actively repressing that thought, Lickety!
that's a good one...
hahaha wordRocks !I know it may take some memory cells!
site
ack
sorry
tks for the give away words...got it now!
lol
typing in the wrong box again. :(
Come on - someone must have a time!
Shall I start?
My dad was 83 when he died and it hadn't happened to him!!
June 30, 2006 @ 3 a.m.
do tell
my dad is 76 and still thinks he's a kid lol
maybe when everyone on TV started being younger than me? But I still don't feel old.
Ok - I think it hit me when I was in my late 20's and I actually thought that my mother was more of a friend that my MUM
i wanted to be an adult when i was 8...now that i am... blech
*throws self on the floor and holds my breath* .......you can't make me grow up
mine hit me when i bought my house at age 24!
one only has to grow old, one never has to grow up
feel better? :-D
yes...owning a home makes one grow up quickly with all the responsibility
now, i would like to point out that theres a HUGE difference betweem being an adult + being grown-up!
I'll go with Cath on the turning-40-thingy - sometime around 7 Nov, 2006. But I got over it!
Too True - it it was the State - it's when you are 18!
then i guess it was when i was 19, and had my first child
kalae - that will certainly do it!
lol..........then i made it through adulthood, and am now enjoying my second childhood
Ok - so being Adult is something NO one wants to admit! Especially when they are on the internet playing word games!
ya lickety...and should be housecleaning instead!
Alrighty then - lets change the challenge!
Tell us the most childish thing you have done recently!
*more frightened than b4*
???????
i ate an ice cream sandwich for breakfast, then i called my mother and told her
hhahhahahahhahhahhahhahahhaha
lol... curled up in fetal position in fear of spanner.
I'm an actor - I play for a living (figuratively speaking, I don't earn much money at it)
just returned from holiday, where i played in the ocean tide for the first time, splashing and squealing
oh the spanner will find you!
lol Cath
( of course a trip to the gym was required afterward, as i am over 25)
a few months ago i called my dad to whine. i said, and i quote myself here, "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaady... ........ ive decided that i quit being a grown-up! im quitting my job and selling my house, and im moving back in with you and mom! and i want you to buy me a poooooooooooooooony!!!"
Lickety want to say thanks for your babble clues while you're here don't see ya often, i know i wouldn't be able to finish the grids without it, thanks again
Lickety want to say thanks for your babble clues while you're here don't see ya often, i know i wouldn't be able to finish the grids without it, thanks again
gave everyone in babbleland the fake beer that was in my icon yesterday?
amandacath - cool! I want to be an actor too! What did you act?
sorry must be a lag
kalea - first time in the ocean! WOW!
Last role was Nanny Ogg in Terry Pratchett's "Wyrd Sisters" - that was fun!
*grins*.......one of the perks of moving to Canada
evan - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Hello. Just nipped back to say I've posted all the information about recycling in the UK on my profile. FMitch - if you see this, there's a little more info than when I posted it in the log earlier.
kalea...where in canada r u?
pabtrek - thank you so much for the comments - it means lots to me! I'm glad to help!
in BC, Cath
lickety...there was a rumour flying around a while ago that you were abandoning your page!
ahh..other side of the country from me kalea
where is that, Cath?
we were all sooo sad lickety...pls don't leave us to fend alone in babbland.
in nova scotia kalea
my grandmother was from there
Cathyar - you know - it's only my addiction that keeps it alive - I risk everything sometimes to get it up so quick - I've got too many things going and too much responsiblity to be doing what I do - BUT addictions are addictions!
please be patient if I'm late
oh...but it's not a BAD one like smoking of excessive drinking lickety...and it's good cause it really helps others!!! :)
that's why we are all here, lickety................to feed our addictions.........lol
we are a patient lot!
I have to say that I think the Babble community should be the ones that get to decide the rules of the world - Who could ask for a better set of people?
totally agree lickety...thought that b4 myself..and we are world-wide...we could solve the world's problems!!! :)
Too TRUE!
we should recommend this site to the leaders of the world and the UN
lol
hmmmmmmmm.......i can't even solve the problem of missing socks in the laundry
the dryer eats them kalea
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.......and here i thought it was one-legged aliens
sometimes too...they go under that middle part thingy of the washer...i found a pair there once!
UN = Under Neath!
lol...there...another world problem solved in babbleland
Anyone seen mrpresident?
haha lickety... meaning Hell?
lol lickety and Cath
he was here earlier, lickety
If you want to know where odd socks go, read this: http://swampcamel.netfirms.com/essays. htm
Cath - Yeah - I think it might be on the way there!
une had him as her icon earlier (US Pres that is)...no...not yet today...
There's a black hole somewhere with all the odd socks in it ........ and the ballpoint pens that write!

good morning everyone!
good morning Annie!
Hi Annie!
hey, annie!
hi everybody
Hi WW
hi ww!
morning all
hi ch and whitewitch
hi ch!
hi ch
what's the theme today?
flags
although you might have to refresh in order to see mine :)
going to try to change my icon , bye!
today's theme is pick a word from the grid and make your icon a clue for that word :-)
i thought the theme was things found in the grid today.
i will upgrade to pro this weekend...i want my icon
wait a second though... didn't Babbler say we were going to start using things found in the grid on Fridays?
BRB
You're supposed to illustrate a word from the grid. At least that's what we were doing earlier on.
Yes, just checked with Babbler's profile -- Haz is right -- I have an older list of themes.
going to change -- brb
Hi Haz
okay, back again in line with today's theme :)
Hello abe - how are you getting on with the grid?
very clever, abe!
It's coming along, Haz. No complaints! Thanks Ch!
good one, Abe!
it was hard to find a picture w/o the jersey
I bet!
abe - I have to confess complete ignorance of your icon!
basket ball team, Haz - at least, that's what I took it for
Haz- my icon is Kareem Abdul Jabar, a legendary basketball player who played for a Los Angeles team.
All Done Gail
Ah I got it I think - Haz, think of Freddie La*** and the failed airline. Hi all
HI FMitch
hey, fmitch!
hi again fmitch and une!
hey, wolvie!
Okay - so it's the team, rather than the individual team member? Got it now (thanks for the push, FMItch)
Afternoon all, Im copytiping a load of docs with the chat log running along side so just had to dip in for a quick hello.
hi mitch! hi everyone!
Hi Temple Owl
hi, Temple!
Hi to!
copytiping!! thank goodness for spell check
morning, TO!
Hello Temple Owl!
well - i went out to cut grass but it is still too dewy - so i thought i'd put the wait time to good use!
That's the spirit TO
Haz are you beating the grid yet?
does anyone have a clue for the middle bottom o?
I finished it about 11.00 this morning. It's noisome, to quote a word from yesterday.
ou4/6 - same ending as the useless du4/7
Oh good going.
temple- not quiet, plural minus first letter
hello all
hello Bryan
Hi Bryan
thanks for the clue haz
Good morning Bryan.
ty haz, abe! the d words are going to be puzzling also but i do have that one! hi brian!
morning bryan
good one, bryan! I went with the 4-legged one earlier! :-)
Glad it helped.
i think my comp is very slow today, pls bear w/ me. Thanks Une!
how many today? 35 - if so then I have two to go :-)
175
near then :)
that's the spirit!! :-)
*pondering une's icon*
*now mitch's* not even a first letter clue in your profile, mitch?
it's a healthy green leafy veg full of vitamins!
got it, une!
FMitch's is st6/18
t-owl...did you go to sleep or are you still partying?
lol ren! i could ask the same of you!
i went to sleep, over slept...and am now trying to finish a report!
ty haz, mitch!
sorry guys got side tracked by the phone, thanks for helping out Haz
All done - fireworks! Afternoon nap called for
congrats, spellit!
Well done spellit - I fancied time in a darkened room as well.....
congrats, spel
congrats spellit!
congrats spellit!!
thanks haz!
congrats, spellit!
Cheers all - clues available if needed
when did you start the grid today, spellit?
I'm just admiring Millie, she is lovely!
i can't believe you are done already.
I couldn't sleep so actually did a quick 60ish at 6.30am. Early for me
Ah of course, you are in England. I have 10 o'clock in the morning.
I need to change Millie's photo as she is now 5 months old and goes swimming!
and rides a bike
Goodness, children are so advanced these days.
di5/14 clue?
and owns her own company :)
I wish...
hehe
di5/14 - archaic English rendition of verb to do.
Think of the hymn Jerusalem for the di5/14 - it's in the first line
Sorry i am not a christian. I have nothing to do with religion.
Past tense do, then add a shortened saint.
It's also the England Rugby team anthem!
Or shortened street, if you prefer.
good morning
monkeyed that one!
al6/30
please?
Hi dorens!
good morning. here's a clue for c4/9
hi dorens, annie!
hi temple, jane
hi jane!
hi annie, temple...thanks harp, mine's a clue for ar 5/12
Interesting that there are two different Middle Eastern anise-flavored drinks in this puzzle, a/4/8 (the Lebanese one) and r/4/8 (the Turkish one).
al6/30 - it looks as though Mr Gore has been left out of the opposite of acid. or just add ki4/8.
al6/30 is any of a series of open chain hydrocarbons with a carbon-carbon triple bond
PS I didn't know that off the top of my head!
Take your pick, raelite!
thank you thank you!
thanks haz
You're welcome!
the gu's please?
thanks, haz
gu words - Scottish renditions of good and its plural.
g = g= fluid without the first two letters
got 'em- ty Haz + white witch
I thought gu 4/8 was olde Englishfor "good" but it is actually a flower mentioned in Chaucer
Off for a cuppa - back later Byeee
Good grief, am I blaming the Scots in the wrong?
bye spellit
Bye Spellit, enjoy the rest.
later, spellit
off to do errands - will have to come back for the last 20 - so - bbl
i'm still stuck looking for lebanese drink
later, wolvie
me, too...by points i'm guessing i have the other
thanks ja for the drink clue
i know the turkish drink very well
haz: a clue for your clue?
Bonjour, I am a French policeman - the natives call me le fl4/8
merçi Haz
merci, haz!
De rien, mes amies.
got the lebanese drink...sort of sounds like country in which we are mired in battle
Morning everyone...stuck on the first three HA's...are they related...HA 4/5,5/22, 6/36? Appreciate any clues.
ha4/5 - with the double vowel is a fog/mist.
ha5/22 and ha6/36 are related. h plus an unreturnalbe tennis serve and a high scoring consonant.
Then pluralise for ha6.
Thanks Haz...working on it.
Thanks Haz...got them all!
thanks, haz
thanks, haz
That's good!
Is it me, or did entering words just get reeeaaal slooow?
reaaaaaaaallllllllllll sllllllllloooooooowwwwwwww
Now it's better ..
gi5/20 - any clues?
ca 4/8 please?
presents?
gi5/20 - plural presents/talents
plural of gi 4/9
thanks
ca4/8 - young cow or muscle illustrated by BryanC
Howdy Haz et al ..
need a ka and its plural. i have the veggie (Une's icon) and the ones that sounds like a certain biblical murderer
thank you
thank you haz
Hello torgone - Dr God hasn't given us huge grids, he's given us HARD grids!
!
hi tor
Bryan - there's one that sounds like the vegetable, but with a different spelling - also its plural.
Does anyone have a clue for the di5,14?
Even though I am an imp, I'll just let that one go right on by . . .
Interesting, thanks Haz! So many words to learn. That's why I do this! : )
di5/14 - old fashioned way of using the past tense of 'to do'.
Bryan - this is one grid where you'll learn lots of new words, that's for sure.
A clue for la 5/12 anyone?
kk4/8 one who la4/5
Brill got it, thanks!
There's the one who does up the shoe, also la plus the start of a word meaning difficult, or the opposite of soft.
la5/12 are the words I was clueing - forgot to say.
ae 7 please? tried the plural of the 6 but it won't take. ty
There is no ae 7 TO.
Got it Haz...it was the difficult one I was missing.
can you clue the ae5 please?
*checks glasses* no wonder i couldn't find it...
ae5 - ae plus the initials of American intelligence service.
ty haz
ty haz

ty haz got three form that
thanks haz for ne5 clue

thank you hursh and Haz.
3 per inning misspelled
Glad to help - going to take a break. hurshy - same ending as the useless du4/7 (ou4/6)

{{{{{hurshy}}}}}
*can't... breathe...*
well we can't leave that as the last post now can we?
well, what does the 8 start with?
ca8/80

di 4/6?
di4/6 scrape, mild misadventure, tomfoolery
di 4/6 is a music band
I'm back .. Did I hurt you, hurshy?
no tor, was just hard to breathe whilst in the squeezy hug
Polish baby cow! Ha!

No karaoke! No No No!

I just don't think difk is a word though :(
in 6/21 clue, please? ty!
lol
oh I'm looking at the wrong d
raelite di4/6 The founder and queen of Carthage, who fell in love with Aeneas and killed herself when he abandoned her

Hi Judi

Hi Judi.

hi judi!
Stopped talking then?!

Torgone... is that parrot dead?
Don't know why I hadn't marked the bags up! Mind you, you always think you'll remember what's in the bag... but meat looks different when it's frozen.:( That'll teach me!
it is now...
well it is NOW...
Not dead but very contrite ..

LOL torgone
MMM frosted parrot

Parrot Wellington is a fave at our house
quick
wot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
liz - 3 x 175.:)))
He would not stop swearing. It was very upsetting. I tried everything to get him to be quiet ..
you put a parrot in an old wellie and stew it until it all melts together...
and?..............
I tried shushing him .. I tried covering his cage .. I even tried splashing water on him .. He just got worse ..
Oh, 4 x 175! Make that 700 words, liz.
and?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I have to work 3x harder than you lot...make that 4x...then I'm going to get started!
this story ends in a big groan...
But did you make him sit in the naughty corner?
Finally, in desperation I chucked him in the freezer .. He kept swearing for a minute, then went silent ..
(Everyone get ready to groan...)
think of tor as the antistid
Im ready
Thank you.
Good to know that we are all animal lovers!
I was curious, so I opened up the freezer and there he stood with his head bowed ..
Standing stiffly to attention
lol...tor is telling a story? just returned...hi again all.
I picked him up and he said "Sir, I humbly appologize for my language and behavior. I hope that I have not offended you too much, and I swear I shall ever behave in such a manner ever again .."
....and thats when you swore at him?
What a clever parrot........... Hi Cathyar
"...And if I may be so bold to ask . . . What was it that the turkey did?"

there's a dog, taking (heat), bit of dandruff, person who dandruffs, burst of heat/light, and two 4's that are the same except for the vowel
sherb I have all the f words but you've lost me on that one!
ty for se5

Sherb - dog's name, little violins, anti-aircraft fire, a crumbly choc bar & its plural, a solar fl___ (or one leg of 60s/70s style trousers), the French policeman, Elmer's surname (changed a bit).
don't start with the f words now
oh THAT elmer, i thought you meant the glue
sherb Doh - got it!

There's a glue called Elmer??
elmer's glue

ok, let's talk N's, i have the one that rhymes with bank robbery, bird's home, fish catchers, kind, kinder, zeros...what am i missing?

cait - thanks! I always miss that one, too. (Like I always miss the Italian greeting!)
caitlyn Thanks. IO was missing that one
WOW ive never helped so many people before!!!
this is a very interesting bit of psychology, isn't it? that so many of us miss that word?
I didn't have that one either
Still don't, but soon.
Hursh - yes, I suppose it is...
I'd like to look a t l's - have 4's x 13 and 5's x 4 -- what am I missing (2)?
Takuma - your brother or sister's daughter...
lol cnan, our minds must work similarly, i have the same
oh, I got it just as your clue was rolling on. thanks

hurshy -- do you have the l 4/9?
HA! :)

thanks hurshy... 3 left to find... are there any 6's? I have only 1 h6 so far...
Mmm...ok thanks!
i only have one also sherb
it's a superlative, yes?
yep
have you got two ho4?
There are 2 h 6
2 ho4
ooh, thanks cait, clue for the non-superlative?
In and out, caitlyn .. and dodging tomatoes ..
tomatoes used to be deadly, you know
Frozen ones hurt ..
And the canned ones are worse ..
tomatoes were deadly because people thought they were poisonous
Greetingss, fellow Babblers!
I have two ho's -- are there more?
so if you ate one and didn't die, they killed you cause you must be a witch
brb phone
Jera!! :):) ...was just thinking about you yesterday... full moon...
cnan, sherb and i also have 2 ho... we were hoping for a clue from caitlyn as to a second 6 besides our ha superlative
LOL, thanks! I'm not fond of the Full Moon this month, though, interfering with the meteor shower watching
sounds like we have the same ones -- I'm still missing 5 though. How many he's?
I have 3 he's
i've got 3 he (i'm missing 2 H)
I was afraid of that --- I guess all 5 are ho's
that can't be, cnan
maybe you meant ha
Soory about that....ha 5 a mark placed over a letter in some lanuages then plural
but i don't think we can know
unless we look at the list of course
ooh thanks cait
Wouldn't want to do that, hurshy!!
Could I have a tiny little hint for the first freakin' word? ac5/12 has me stumped...
thinking of marks... tilde, cedilla, accent aigu, accent grave...
what's the german two dot one called? is that the ha?
it must end with a letter which is next to the S...
Jera, think of adding an Italian endine to "ac", rhyming with Pucini
umlaut... not that...
lol hetty
I think its Czech
czech! oh, where's stanislav when i need him
Hi everyone. Can't see my "clue" icon yet, can you?
refresh, hetty
okay, hi. Here I am again, properly attired for today...
Hi hetty
how stuoid is this... I could find it in a minute if I went to the list...
i got it, i got it!
it ends like actress sissy
is the ha a latin plural or an english one -- boo hoo I don't have it!
stange word hurshy...than heavens for a dictionary!!
english pl cnan
THAHK!!
wait, caitlyn, didn't you have it? how did you know it was a czech accent mark if you didn't?
Also, does anyone have the ha6 yet?
finally!! well done hursh... my fingers were wearing thin...
thanks, hurshy
I give up..my typing is cr..
hetty, that's what we're talking about
(Refreshing hasn't changed a thing)
i have 9 left and 3 of them are T's, how Troublesome
Sorry hursh, my telepathy is wonky today
Yes i had it hurshy I looked up the meaning after
you wouldn't think they'd be hard, since it's on the edge of the grid
Thanks, hetty!
hurshy and sherb, are you done, or just celebrating the finding of words...
still missing two h's -- have 11 ha's, 3 he's and two ho's -- missing?
oops, nvm, hurshy just answered my question.
just the finding of words stid :)
ha's
stid - still need 12 words...
go hurshy! go sherb! :-)
any ts's?
Soory about that....ha 5 a mark placed over a letter in some lanuages then plural - i have that in my language (german) but i totally forgot how we call it - that is bad - i forget my own language in the caribbean "sigh"
cybernan there are 14 ha words
hurshy - do you have the te5 who is an electrical engineer?
There are 10 T's
just found him, actually, sherb
must have miscounted -- only missing two h's
GO cyber GO
whitewitch -- is it a different word for umlaut? I don't remember any other symbols... *dives into google trying to remind self of German writing*
Sissy did it for me, thanks!
and my clue icon has suddenly appeared for me---good sign
ha's -- have 4's x 5, 5's x 3, 6's x 2 -- missing, please?
no ts's... all but one start te...
umlaut should be correct, but i am not sure...told ya stid i forget german
another 4 and another 5 cnan
okey dokey, i need 2 te then
thank you, hurshy
I think that's the one you're thinking of, whitewitch... the only other fun thing left in modern German was the esszett, which I know they are officially trying to remove. :-(
too bad that german words don't count in that puzzle... found few already
ha5/22 rhymes with an old hockey player, dominic ha***
It's not the umlaut --- dictionary says "A diacritical mark () that resembles an inverted circumflex and is used over certain letters, such as, to indicate quality of pronunciation." It ends with a high value letter.
sometimes they do, whitewitch -- try them and see! :-)
any te's use the k?
esszett is now ss in the german spelling stid
No Hurshy....no k's.
No hurshy
Well, not that old ..
so I have heard. that's too bad, because it was the last of the really old characters to remain... my grandmother learned to write the old script, so I had to learn it in order to read things from her childhood. :-)
sorry, torgone -- I stopped watching hockey when they expanded the league for the third or fourth time!
Okay, I have one A left... help please with the ar5/12?
no, but five of them use the next letter
man, my monkeys are so not working
thanks, kkiln! (btw, I notice most of you is in the grid today!)
my favorite german word in today's puzzle is "duft" meaning aroma
at least 6 sherb :) lol
Taking a break -- sometimes that helps!
hi Jera! how is your summer going? I miss seeing you.
Never mind, my monkeys found it!
whitewitch -- hoping it's a good aroma... LOL
wondered if you'd pick me up on that... ;)
Plugging along, stidmama... been sick a lot...
yeeeeeeeees stid
well it was hugely helpful, sherb, knowing i should NOT use the L anymore! i got 'em!
sorry to hear that, Jera. are you on the mend now?
what are you still missing, sherb?
i am missing EARS
Jera - ar5/12 a type of palm
ooh and that's one of them

wieviel jahren hast du in der Caribbean leben, whitewitch? (I hope that made sense, my deutsch is sehr schlect)
Gut, babbling und genealogy.

re6 - coins (won't accept the singular though)
spass!
thanks. When I was a young child, we lived in Puerto Rico for a couple years. I've been gone over 30 years now, and still miss it!
any particular country's coins? slang for coins?

Dorens, it sounds just like a woman's name..
yes, aloysius...strange new words abound today
el5/10 - take the last letter from Miss Paige, or Miss Strich.
thanks haz
sl 5/ 18?
rhymes with ra 4/8?
sl5/18 - to satisfy thirst. It contains a volume of water.
oh aloysius i missed your clue...thank s belatedly
tanks so much
Erie, Superior, ... rhymes with those
another clue for el5/10 haz? i don't know miss paige or strich...

e plus having prostrated onself (la4/4)
rhymes with sl 5/10
hi everyone! ca8/80 please?
A young cow and a complexion combine to make the softest gloves.
thanks haz and dor
earlier clue was great, featherbee... something about the dermis of a young bovine
oh, thanks haz! i didn't have the second word yet, so that's why it didn't click
hi all...bk for another set of words for a bit

Glad to help, featherbee!
ahh..was a fun day really.
can i pls ask for a clue for the te6?
te6...add a vowel at the end of the te5/10 just before it
I have one te6 so far: the pl of the 5 before it.
ty ouwachita and aloy
to clear up my t's all i need now is the last te5/10. pls?
clue for the re 6 and 7 pls?
can't figure out how it can come after the #'d one.
The last te5/10 is an anagram of what children used to write on in school and what roof tiles are made from.
6 is the most re4/4 minus last letter
last te5/10...think of the guy who invented alternating current...Nikola Te5/10
Many thaanks Dorens :)
ty ouwachita... I needed that!
yw hydra...don;t have the 7 yet
ahhh...ty very much!
how many ti's are there?
the 7 is the 6 which takes the 4 to the ultimate degree!
well that's it for now,....catch you later
Dorens: just complete the superlative and you will have the 7
oh, i am a fuzzy brain today! i clued it and didn't know it
HAZ...children used to write on them in school...WOW...how old are you??? I thought they used chalkboards when I went to school...LOL
st 6/21?
only 1 ti, cybernan
thank you all and goodbye
slice
Oh, we're a primitive people here!
oops
sorry
cheerio, Dorens
st6/21 is the 4 letter base of the the other st words with the first two letters of something frozen and creamy!
missing two te's then -- have 4's x 3, 5's x 3, t x 1 - missing?
lol walnut...st6/21 is (i think a non-s) plural of the st5/10 before it
Haz Just read your clue. Stone tablet and chisel for me!
ah. thanks cathyr, and hydra!
got it
lol francis :)
il5/12 pls?
afternoon everyone.

Hi Charm

missing two te's then -- have 4's x 3, 5's x 3, 6 x 1 - missing?
i think u r missing one te5/10

the last te5/10 comes after the #'d te4, and it is anagram of the small chalkboard children wrote on in school (back when some of us were small ;) )
actually...there are 5 te5's
there are four te5/10 and one more te5 which is te5/12
ooh, entry is verrrrrrrrrry slow right now..

YEEESSS...VEEEERYYY SLLOOOWWW

of the te 5 10's, I have the pillar, the latin plural, and the plant pustule
do u have the te5/10 where u add a vowel onto the end of the first te4/4?
oh -- and the greek hair ornament
(sorry nan...most of these words are obscure to me and I know not their meanings... *duh*)
yes -- the latin plural
oh -- found it! -- thanks for the help
oh -- found it! -- thanks for the help
lol...sorry i don't know the meanings tho...but glad u found!
of the i's, I have "kinds" and " sacro i****" -- missing?
-- from the top right corner, that is
it6/27 = it + se4/7
thank you -- pass the fish!
here is a ha4/9 for u cybernan ;)
I haven't found even ONE of the 7 letter words yet! been at it all day too!!!
so i may want that ha4/9 back shortly
who's your icon, cybernan? (I don't mind exposing my lack of an education!)
I have one Cath: re 7/28 -- more certain or likely
Wellington, charm
Cathyar, I thought you had the superlative of re7, meaning "most genuine"?
ah, very nice, cybernan.
Cath -- aloyisius has a better clue
ohh...no..i didn't but i do now, ty aloy and cybernan
thanks, cybernan and aloyisius! any clues for the other 2 7s or that 8? please?
st 6/18?
two more 7's are plurals: pl of al6/30 and pl of ca6/33
thanks, aloyisius - will work on those.
i did find the al7...but the ca7 i'm working on now.
don't have either of those 6's
cathy - the ca7 is similar to the al7, but without the final vowel.
ah...i guess i don't have the ca6/33 then.
sounds like a very long-playing baseball player without the rip, cathyar
add the op of "out" to your ca4/9
ty...found more than one ca that goes with it!!!
st 6/18? the two that aren't related to the night sky?
Thanks, Al
5 of them all together...wow!!! thank you!
st6/18 = Lat. pl of the st5/10.

hi chixie!!!
we were having a lovely singalong/ concert
How's the grid today? I'm hoping for a challenge
lighters were lit n everything!!! it was fab!!!!
i'm not sure i would say a "lovely singalong" is what we had, abe - but that does make it sound nice...
Hi Mama! I saw that I was keeping time with my tambourine....
WHEW!!!! *fanning self*
Hello all - looks as if I just missed Hetty
our brief moment of fame...methinks it was too much for mamabear
Hot flashes again mama?? :-D

So. This is what I find after a week of cold turkey. A grid with a K. The C not next to the K. The N not next to the G. This goes beyond harassment. This is torture!

Ha! Whare ye gaun, ye crowlin ferlie? Your impudence protects you sairly, I canna say but ye strut rarely Owre gauze and lace, Tho' faith! I fear ye dine but sparely On sic a place.
whitewitch...the one I have is alt. spelling of the hard white ball things that fall from the sky
I'll try, Lupe!!! {{{{{bear hugs for ALL}}}}}}} *skips out of log humming.......*
That is a clue, by the way, as opposed to a random outburst...
WOW....LOL..sprite, you have your creative hat on then !!
ok let me think about that
oh good, Douglas..... thought you were opposing my exit!!! LOL
A clue containing a word even, Douglas, LOL!
a clue for..... what?
Off to a meeting all.....Bye to everyone!!!!!

*hands chic an umbrella for the sandwiches*
we still love you Karys
shheeesh, now i have to eat lunch first....
oh thank you Lupe.....feel so bad here :(
If I would say "tsktsk" to Karys, I would be a 'tsker', right?
no worries Karys - happy friday!
does it appear in the grid tho' sprite ?
Oh, no doubt about it, sprite. And if you said "oh," you'd be an oher.
Enable is soooo lame!
duh... I'm a duher?
Phantom word - senile - I wonder what Freud would say about me seeing that word!
interesting, i seem to recall that "tsks" is a word...
my phantom word is "guide"
Freaud would say, "As long as she can still spell it, she's doing okay!"
es5/18s, please? both of them?
I think so too, Fiz, only the person doing it is not valid :(
phantom engine
(I mean Freud.) And Homer Simpson is certainly a doher.
Mine is silk...
phantom word that is...
es5/18 - glacial deposit in a ridge, sounds like the first name of Herr Schindler who had a List, but change the first vowel.
ac5?
The senile silk engine lured the guide to the enable dictionary, said "tsktsk" and made them all disappear.
ohhhh. fish please...
one es word is Sprite's t-word with an e instead of the t
LOL Sprite
Well, I learned something...
Very good sprite! *applauds*
They are both spellings of the same thing, just with diff second vowels.
scmooz - rhymes with a treatment for your skin you might get at a spa.
thank you pine :)
Sprite - you make me LOL!! ty
:D
thanks Vicuna...i now have the other es word
no, that's the ae Fiz clued. The ac ends with opp of out plus another vowel.

ni5, not being more kind

el5 pls?
Sounds like a girl's name, Cathyar.
chj, you're not helping me here...
what about the nj ne**
not a hockey fan, chj
Fiz, do you have the ha4 that jilli and I are clue-ing with our icons?
they're ok (you can only be a knick fan for so long these days)
yup. if it's the one that rhymes with a garden implement. i need the first one.
girls name...any number of combos of the el for that tho...any other clues?
for el5/10?
pls?
ha5 + something you have on your face and tour rear end but take out male pronoun
e+ weird participle of lay
Cathyar: E + L4/4
ha5 ha + tongue in ***** minus male pronoun
chj, have no idea what you are talking about in your clue
hmmm. something on my face and rear..... *shakes monkey awake*
tks...i think...put it in but grid is slow
everything is SOOOO lagging right now
I'll take "things that get pinched" for $1000, alex
mike myers as austin powers... you *****y monkey
chj, got it now, thanks
Slow doesn't cover it. It is still processing words I entered minutes ago...

duh... just found an al4/4 I should have seen 12 hours ago...
But Ha5/22 makes up for them all :)
i'm told the second ha5/22 is a 3 lined japanese form of poetry!
chj: thanks for the L4 clue!
ge4/6 has cogs and is on a bike
gotta do something quick - brb
the other ge4/6 is a liquor but plural
seventeen syllables open the door to memory to meaning
This is a ha5/22: Who knows all the words? Who can tell what Enable Will allow today?
louie....isn't that the gi.. plural word? not ge?
SSKK... that's what I need...
or am i missing something?
yes, sorry
The ge4 is a wheel with teeth around it.
whewf...thought i missed a g word
ha5/22 for cats: My affection is conditional Don't stand up. It's your lap I love. There
tks louie for clarifying
Thanks, Vicuna!
2nd Ha5/22: A grid of letters People searching for more words We must love monkeys
sprite..what were the other 3 you needed
does ha5/22 NEVER rhyme?
jilli and sprite...u r good at ha5/22
I am down to one T and one G, one 4 and one 5.
Letters in a grid People searching madly Only monkey find.
which is the 4
(oops, that should have been "monkeys")
why isn't rehug a word? i hug you once, i hug you twice ... rehug??
gu4 tour gu**e
lol aknitter!!! :)
Rhyming is no object of Ha5. They just sketch a scene in 5 - 7 - 5 syllables.
I agree, aknitter!
gi4 g + form of proving who you are + pl
just two SS's
Why do I ALWAYS miss the simpler words??? *grabs a fish*
one S...
Go for it Sherb
hey aknitter - i knit and crochet and relocated from MA in 1979 to sunny san diego - I grew up in belmont

I cant seem to find any DHs Clues anyone!
ku4/10's to sprite!
du4 - a member of the nobility
does anyone have the ni5, not the more kind...I think I asked before, but had to run off and check on children
hangs head in shame -- always miss the obvious
found the n's
Shmoo: not your nephew.
du4/10, du4/10, du4/10, du4/10 of earl, du4/10, du4/10...
thought I was the **** of Earl, when I made it with a red-haired girl in a Chevrolet...
THE FIZ is pretty cute today!!
thanks all..
*blushing* aww, thanks, tracy. but nothing is as cute as a bunny...
there are 2 ni5's schmoozanne... ni5/12 = better form of the ni4/5 and ni + your sister's or brother's daughter is your ni***
douglas is your icon a clue?
how about sheep? they are cute
nah fizz - I'M just too lazy to change Icons for the theme
and cuddly
and useful LOL
and sheep are WAAAAY cute - so are llamas
And delicious ..
Indeed yes!
I have to be off, see you guys later! Thanks for the help and the good company. Happy hunting all :)
could be an ha4/5, tracy...
torgone - behave!! lol
Tasty too
Bye Sprite
can't be borg!! no B in the grid
you too sprite!
sheep are great. i'm all about alpacas right now, though - one of the farms at my farmers market brings one along...
bye sprite
can u clue me your icon douglas?
i wish i could learn to do my own spinning - but then I"d have to have a herd....
alpaca makes great yarn
bye sprite :)
the 1st ha5/22 please?
One day in the ocean a ha4/9 Thought the ocean was just a big la4/8
and to think i was a star trek fan of that genre
i think douglas and i are the same - te5/10
charm - 3 line japanese poem
kat!!!! hey darlin
vicuna -- you are a poet, i didn't know it!
TheFiz - isn't that the 2nd ha5/22?
Good clue fiz!
ahh... ok...guess i already have it!!!
ty vicuma!!
i have all my t's
oh, yeah, sorry - first ha5/22 is like a ha**ing cough with a vowel breaking up the last 2 cons.
gotta go - Market's closing!! bye all
yay cath! bye tracy!
is there really an "o" word?
thanks, Fiz - the monkeys would not have found that one!
One day in the ocean a ha4/9 Thought the ocean was just a big la4/8 He swam fast as a ha4/5 Til he just didn't ca4/5 And he said, "This is no piece of ca4/9!"
Yes, aknitter, there is exactly one o word, and I have it! Bwahahahaha!
yw charm. it's apparently some czech goalie as well but that didn't help me.
care to share douglas?
do ha4/5s swim quickly vi? i had no idea!
(I don't like this system where hitting return makes the message post!)
hey Maitai!
it's a word that describes various diacritical marks in some Slavic languages -- Czech, Croatian, etc.
Well, this one did, Fiz. He was trying to get to the other side of the la4/8.
It's the plural of a stringed instrument frequently played my musicians in the Middle East
No, I don't think a czech goalie would have helped me, either, Fiz!
*slaps head* duh, thanks for clearing that up, vi! nice poem, too.
could i please have a clue for the DHs
ty douglas
in6/21?
I guess the real question is whether ha4/5's swim quickly!
I believe the hockey player is referred to as "The Dominator"
hi all can i have clues for the es's please and the in6/21?
dh + symbol for the metal airplanes are made of
and plural thereof
dh4/10 = d + h(fish in today's grid) - final vowel. and pl.
dh4/10 would rhyme with "back", and dh4/6 with "doll" = then both plural
dh4/6 = another word for lentils.
thanks erda got it
...and Charm has the other one...
douglas are you sure you're not thinking of our pres? no, wait, he's the Decider...
hey, Erda
hey hey
in6/21 is in +la4/5 what you tie your shoes with
hey, hey, we're the monkees....
thanks the fiz
and people say we monkey around....
I'm more than halfway to halfway...
but we're too busy singin'
i just found out i have monday off b/c of V-J day - we're the only state that still celebrates it. weird.
Howdy! Anbody have a hint for ae5/12?
to get anybody down....
the first ha4/9 please?
ummm...it6/27 please?
Hey hey we're the monkey-typers ..
Ha+ a pirate sound, jilli - double vowel in there
oops - cath, that's for you.
jill - do you want that clue by it6 or with others?
ooo...missing the songs cause i only have 17 left. wanna sing...but wanna finish too...such a dilemma!!! what shall i do!?!
ae + fa**** (when they do your face at the spa)
gotcha, tor - thx
ha 4/9 a fish
arrrrr! ok. starting over. cath, the first ha4/9 rhymes with the fish word
fiz...i think that's the 4/5...i'm looking for the first ha4/9
It also goes without the last consonant, the ae word does.....
if it helps, cath, it's a morroccan outer garment...
hmmm...is that not the second ha4/9...if so, i already have it!
hi all 2 to get....the third te5/10 and (i think) it's plural
The first ha4/9 is the poem without its final vowel.
fish spelled like a garden implement is the 2nd ha4/9. the first is a homophone, with first and 3rd vowel in the middle.
I drink beer and I drink ***, There's no bar I can't get in,
I wish I was 15 again, So I could get a fake ID
ahh...ty fiz very much
you could get a fake saying you are nicolai te5/10, douglas....
*hiccup*
I eat cabbage and I eat ka4/8 And that is not a sin.
yw cath. i struggled through the Hs too...
(Sorry, I thought douglas was looking for a second half to his verse...)
ae5.12 please
ha6/21? tks for the understanding!!!
It was a song I heard on Dr. Demento a long time ago...
ha6/21 is the most ha4/5 (and hearty)
ha6/21 = ha4/5 (ha** and hearty). ha5/12 is pl. ha6 is the most ha**
ku4,10 hint please
anyone have a definition for ku4/10?
sharons - rhymes with a martial art ju**
ku compliments
ahhh...got it...thank u charm!!!
ku4 (usu seen as a pl) - to offer congrats to someone (also a granola bar).
kudo
thanks!!!!
ummm. yup.
=O
fireworks woohoo
ty Sharons
yeah seano!
wtg seano
looking for one of the 1st la5/12's please - I have the tie your shoestrings - and the one who does it....
yay, seano!!
sorry 'bout that!!
theirs is incorrect -- the ku word doesn't exist except in what this dictionary thinks is the plural form. No such thing as a singular. It's a Greek word and it ends in -s....
could i get a clue for the es's please
la 5/12 la+sounds like a pirates laugh
thanks, seano!
erda, so glad to see you saying that -- almost everyone thinks the real word is a plural and I think the pronunciation rhymes with "loss", doesn't it?
es + strange spelling for auto.....for the second one change the vowel
cheers kkliln
thanks kkiln,..... youre the best!
kk - that's what I say everyday at 3:30 "es5/18ew this place!"
How far along are you Katusha?

84 words and counting,... and you??
85!
I finished earlier today....
IL clues
so you're clueing, you are so nice!

ty charm...fish please
15 to go, kristinc - you?
japanese poem??????
(earlier clue for the 1st ha5/22) = ha**ing cough, but with an extra vowel between the final 2 letters.
ha6 is pl.
ha5/22 rhymes with actress sissy sp****
Hey! Everybody's going to be wearing the first le4/4 where I'm heading tonight ... :^)

she was in carrie
yeah thanks all finished

Nevermind that I already had both parts of the word. I'm teh roxxor today ...
*she said....call the doctor...i think i'm gonna crash..
The doctor said he's comin' but you gotta pay in cash
ca8 is a compound word: ca4 - baby cow + the outer covering for our body (s4). wallets are made from it.
re6/18 anyone?
i LOVE the Eagles douglas
re6 = re + beer/lager (a plural word today)
And that album was one of their best...
jilli re6/18 is like the re7/28 (the most tangible) minus the last cons..

Hi, evanonut

i've been warned not to start the grid today
hi nut
"Well baby...there u stand.... with your little head down in your hands..."
good warning...this grid is cwazy
why nut?
chj, can you (or will you) clue the two words promised in your icon, or at least give their starting letters?
i've 6 left and struggling...need a break to do The Eagles with douglas
ce4 and ce5
"Wasted Time" that was I guess doug
oh BOY, chj!!!!
oh MICHAELANGELO, jilli

LOL chj!
The Last Resort was good too, but i don't recall how it starts...been awhile since i listened. i think u've inspired me to pull out the old tunes this friday nite.
ce4 = fr. for sky. and pl.
jilli, turnabout is fair play...give me a hint to your clue
i'm gonna change my icon now

My clue is the same as torgone's and vicuna's and you'll get a fish for it

Dear Dr_God, please incline thine ear to my supplication, and get a dictionary that is not lousy and riddled with atavisms and acronyms

lol doug!
okay - my grid clue is up!

Bye Charm, and thanks for the help

grosso nut!!!!!
do you expect me to go for that clue????
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee Just as her father came across the sea
cath - first 3 letters of the se4/7 + a 2 letter sigh of relief.
hmm... (thinking on nut's clue as I do not see too many of those 'round these parts)
Does this have anything to do with that guy from Nantucket?
renny..how was your cheetos lunch?
hey ya kris!!!
i think doug is waxing eloquent for me....
(oops...i forget how the next verse starts...it's not the chorus yet tho)
nutty i'm done and i can't figure out your clue....
i have not had my cheetos nor my lunch yet....i'm starving!
hiya ren good clue nut
ty fiz...3 left here
Have some of mine, ren ..
This was the first verse of "The Last Resort" by the Eagles, the last song on the second side of "Hotel California," back in the day when albums had sides...

he he he
f word...elmer f* s
Hep yosef, fiz ..
i gotta dirty mind, that's why she gave me away
I have quietly sneaked back into the room to find my last three words. Hello everyone.
Heh. Thanks!
She heard about a place people were smilin' They spoke about the red man's way, and how they loved the land And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
hoaf - fu4/9 rhymes with milk du4/6
i'm such a sweet angle....angel???
dirty mind but clean urinals!
who's yosef, torgone? and what does he need?
all the st words have the same first 4 letters but different endings
lol kris!!!
you're def. an angle rennie, always looking for the right angle
Is your icon a clue, ren?
*face down in orangey goodness* juft kidding, tor, i got it....
yes douglas
douglas...love the icon
Hep Yosef - Jewish Rapper ..
orangey goodness???
what about that part Doug, where "they put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus...people bought em".
gotta love the jews. we're the coolest.
orangey goodness?!? I want some!
cheetos nut
thanks chj!
help me out...what words come off the bottom left a...I don't have even one :(
al 6/30 pls? ty
ren...could you give us a dissertation, in 1000 words or less, on the relative merits of cheetos vs. cheese doodles
i do the cotton eyed yosef
I'm getting there...
hey, i thought defected catholics were the cooles
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time, Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there And they called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
al + k 4 word
hard crunch
ty pine:)
i will join in as soon as i can remember...and not think of my last 3 words douglas
them too nuttie - some of my best friends are defected catholics. RI has more catholics per capita than anywhere but Spain....including the vatican city....
*bridge at that part of the song*
briefly
I did not know that Fiz
Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu Where the pretty people play, hungry for power to light their neon way and give them things to do
ae621, please?
why can i only recall the words of the verses within, but never the start of each new stanza????
kritinc - a pullover jacket could be called an ano** - take out the partner of "neither" and you've got an ar4/8 from teh lower left. also plural
im changing my icon...refresh now
i can;t hear anything. i have my blue tooth in one ear and my phone headset in the other ear
It's curious what we do and don't remember, ain't it?
the earlier clue was ae + the end of a treatment you get at a spa
blue tooth, blue tooth!
thanks fiz!
blue was yesterdays theme
Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, people bought 'em And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
ya...i always thought that song was soooo beautiful and truthful of how we have destroyed the earth
the treatment is to your head...f
yw kristin. rennie - you're the COOLEST....
blue tooth...are you eating those blue potato chips?
like no one told me i had on 1 gold and 1 silver ear ring yesterday!
*chills up my spine*....that's the part where the song really gets to me.
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming" Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign
pinecone, I've never been to a spa
ok - gotta run and enjoy my racist 3-day weekend - another RI fact is that we're the last state that still celebrates V-J day....
They called it Paradise...the place to be...they watch the hazy sun...sinking in the sea"...(is that part correct doug?)
These guys have such a loathing for the culture that made them wealthy and famous beyond their wildest imaginations...
Fiz, I celebrate it inwardly - my father was a prisoner in Hong Kong
have a good time fiz!
That was in the previous verse...
ya
anyone for a clue for the first ar5,10???
bye the Fiz. hi all
go little rhody
Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'Cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and the name of God
*still chills from that tune...been too long since i heard it* (gotta go thru my old boxes and find those old casettes)
stepping out for a bit...enjoy the grid all!
bye fiz!
ar 5/10 add a vowel to ar 4/4
And you can see them there, On Sunday morning They stand up and sing about what it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye
got, it,... I need the last ar5,12, sorry
ren..im afraid to ask (but inquiring minds must) what's the count?
later kris...
see you later kristinc!
i have 43
*makes me slightly teary...can hear the song in my head as doug recites it*
ar 5/12 - stick a conssonant between the vowels or ar 4/4
ummm..silly question but is the song talking about an actual Paradise town like the one in Montana?
that leaves 132..oooph
Closing in on halfway and moral victory
i don't know, but it's sooo lovely pinecone
wanna do a quickie?
i have 7 to go - clues for the ae's please ( i don't get the one about the spa!)
No, pinecone05, the earlier verses give more context...
i can't right now....i'm on hold
*forgets about last 2 wrds in grid*
TY!!!!
uh oh chj - quickie!!!
okay
I'm with you becca, about the spa!
a speed babble quickie
doug's givin me shivvers....with that song.
ok a quickie.....te 5's
te5 te + los angeles + latin pl
ren!!! you're married
at a spa, this treatment opens up your pores on your face. the ae 6 has the same ending as this treatment
It's such a sad song, and the pretty people are like the people in "Life in the Fast Lane"
te5 te + minelli minus the z
got to get out those old tapes (still have the lps, but nothing to play em on)...better go buy the Eagles CDs
Never having been to a spa, this doesn't help!
ya.... true doug
te5 doug's icon nicola te*** the inventor
neat now the eagles went from one extreme to the other.
Nope, i still don't get it either! About the spa
terribly sorry
He invented the borg? didn't know that!!! ;)
ok...2 words left...*forces herself bk to grid*
lol cath
last word...st6/21
Becca, I got it - just add a stick letter to the ae5!
is it still the same first 4 letters as the other sts?
jilli la5 right?
Argh! i don't have the ae 5 yet!
brb...have to talk
yes it does cathyar
so who's stopping h er from talking? not us surely
jilli your icon is also a phantom...fluke
tks abe
do you have fireworks?
no, chj, ha4/9 - if you're referring to my icon
no..not yet...
back on hold..is that it?
I know I'm going to hate myself, but ... a hint for ne5/10 would be greatly appreciated.
aha, bur la5/18 also works
Alas, I don't have it either...
YAY!!!! FIREWORKS..... goes perfectly with the end of that song!!!
yes thats all the te 5's ..you want the other te's
Well done Cath!!
hoaf- it sounds like your sister or brother's daughter, ends with the abbreviation for saint

Thanks again!
I have the al 5 meaning makes the edges even -- a clue for the other?
al5 lookal***
thank you chj
they are not al*** (and check out the points..it is al5/18
got my fireworks!!
yay dorens
YAY Dorens! looks like I got back just in time! :-)
Hooray dorens!
why doesnt the grid accept real***
because it is not re**... in fact it is not the most re**
You mean "most re4/4"?
chj -- because it's spelled r***IST?
no, i meant re-al5/10
it does accept the superlative, tho
i missed 4 h's let me see.....
like realign
that needs a g, no?
oh! I don't have any AL words, yet!
re4/4 is an absolute - it either is or isn't - it an't be more or less re4/4 . . . .I think . .
stid i used your icon in a clue before for the ac 5/12---do you have that?
don't worry ren, i went to 4h
no, I don't, Dorens -- what is the clever clue you gave?
it accepts the superlative of re**
What dorens said
ends with last three letters of popular drink made with your icon!
*so I all need to do is learn what drinks are made... * thanks! *thinking*
i know it doesn't sound like a word, torgone. but it is in the grid...it was accepted...re** superlative
Actually, I think it's just an Enablism . .
i think so too.
tor im talking about al5/10...it should allow re as a prefix to that..like the alt. spelling for realign
Ha! I was missing that re7!
Think I'm missing an in -- have the dolphin, the piece added in and it's plural, and the fjiord -- missing?
in fact, earlier today i gave a clue for the re 6 as most re4/4 minus the last letter..then asked for a clue for the re 7 cause it didn't occur to me that it was a word
[waiting while renny figures out what she's missing]
I get it now, chj. And you're right. It's just not in Enable for some reason ..
cybernn...same as the en 6/21
lol nut...my phone rang and my nephew came in to say byeee kissie to me

i have te with c the te with e the te with a and the other te with a
te** was backing alternating current when edison was backing direct current
te5 is a unit of energy named after the guys who did experiments with electricity around thte5 is a unit of energy named after the guys who did experiments around the same time as edison was around.

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

berries or fruit cooked in bread - steamed i think
hi min hi wren hi ping and all who have recetnly joined

Hi Temple Owl! Just saw your finish. Congratulations!
i guess hes resing him...he rested beltran yesterday
TO they are NOT cooked! You reduce the red fruits (any kind mixed, I used raspberries, strawberries, BlACKBERRIES AND RED CURRANTS) ti a kind of coulis, but the pudding then rests in the frif--or larder--until the bread has absorbed all the lovely juices
for frif understand frig!

LOL -- the stidgrid original was done by copying the babble letters (but they didn't look the way I wanted them to when I changed the colors) and arranging them in a paint program. Did the same thing for today's icon.
The new and improved stidgrid I just do in my paint program...
