12:24 am

I heard you went to the Star Trek convention!

12:24 am

I've reduced the size of my icon, so that it can be seen more clearly.

12:25 am

i was just in a huge debate with these idiots in the feed chat, some people, grrrr! i think erika's headed for an emotional break - it's very sad & i think bb is acting very irresponsibly by keeping her in the house - they need to take her to a safe, locked facility & de-brief her

12:26 am

why? what's going on?

12:26 am

spanges - still want to know who it is!

12:26 am

yes chic- my very first st convention - i had a great time, met wonderful people!!! but very sadly, not one klingon - not a one!!! can you believe it?!?!?!

got the other 9 - anyone want a clue?

12:26 am

It is Jack Slipper. He was the one who followed Ronnie Biggs, the great train robber from 1963, all over the world.

12:26 am

I guess Klingons are Out (auf)!

12:27 am

please..

12:27 am

me me melon :p

12:27 am

spangles - sorry - I missed your telling us who he was - and Briggs lived in Canada for a ehile I think

fattened

12:27 am

nets

12:27 am

chic-very sad, i think she's lost alot of contact with reality - she keeps throwing herself at boog, talking about how they are like an old married couple - he's not talking to her & avoiding her as much as possible - a rational person would've gotten thee hint already

12:27 am

melon - you're amazing - and of course we want a clue!

hi, erda

12:28 am

hi melon

12:28 am

whats it start with melon?

jilli - just gave it

st9/66

12:28 am

jillibus it is Jack Slipper the famous London detective who chased "the great train robber 1963 " Ronnie Biggs all over the world.

12:28 am

well they are not going to show that stuff on Tues....

12:29 am

thanks melon!

12:29 am

ty so much melon!

12:29 am

thanks melon, three words there!

12:29 am

chat going fast and I'm missing stuff - sorry

12:29 am

phantom word - stipend

12:29 am

chic - more - she hasn't bathed for days, she either eats nothing, or binges (4 hot dogs), she has not done any pilates in over a week - i think she's clinically depressed, focusing only on this imaginary relationship with boog - when she finds out how people feel about her, it's gonna be bad

12:30 am

my phantom is utopia

12:30 am

but she's probably going to win because they can't possibly give to the snake, Boogie..

12:31 am

chic- one more thing - she was alrady emotionally fragile when she came into the house, broke up with boyfriend of 5 years & her dog died - + they are both re-writing history about what great players they are, how the rest are idiots, etc - so sad

12:31 am

that too ornith...

12:31 am

*Biggs - if he's the one he lived near Montreal where I used to live and joined the golf club - nobody knew

12:31 am

lets pretend it has two t's :p

12:32 am

that's why it should have been Janie at the end; she's much more stable person...

12:32 am

how about a great miniature golf course, we could call it pu**opia

12:32 am

lol nrkii

12:32 am

haha nrkii :p

12:32 am

and thanks for two words :P

12:33 am

3 words ornith

12:33 am

chic -i don't know - they had the q & a yesterday (which they didn't show) but they talked alot about it, seems they both think it will be as close as it could be - boog was asking erika all these questions about the season, what happened, when & in the course of ranting about how she took out the brain of chilltown, boog had another meltdown - she insulted his ego

12:33 am

so it is. a little spacey tonight I guess

funny, nrkii

12:33 am

Do you know, I think I preferred the pic of my cat to the one of Columbo? She's the bettter dectective by far!

12:33 am

teth

12:34 am

whoops

12:34 am

-used his anger at her as an excuse to not sleep with her - they didn't even stay in the same room - he wants nothing to do with her, she repulses him & she just doesn't get it, sad

12:34 am

why can't steep exist in the puzzle grrr

12:35 am

have the st 9 -- what is the other one?

12:35 am

Ornith - never mind, and forget my spelling also.

12:35 am

whacha mean, forget your spelling, Jacula?

12:36 am

There is no st9??

12:36 am

st 9/66

12:36 am

was there a hint for the st9 ? that i missed

12:36 am

the nines are st and eu.

12:36 am

chic - i agree, so much better had jani been there, plus she actually deserves it

12:37 am

ooh, just hit halfway point

12:37 am

and yeah, scroll back a bit for st9 clue from melon

12:37 am

oh well, couldn't find the eu 7 & 8, either!

12:37 am

fattened

12:37 am

wtg nrkii

12:37 am

cybernan, perhaps because they're 8 and 9

12:37 am

well there was a very good reason why erika and boog didn't win on their respective shows; they are hated and lousy players...

12:38 am

OOps! Not even seen or clued into next grid yet! Soorry folks!

12:39 am

to steal nrkii's good clue, nan, the eu6 and 7 have a soda name in the middle

12:40 am

I saw that clue dog -- can't see a soda name either -- mind you, the only one I drink is coke!

12:40 am

I won't be scrolling back forclues though, once I get to it... you surely must know me by now, folks/

12:40 am

'salright, no copyright on that clue

12:40 am

cybernan, the alternative to coke

12:40 am

lol nrkii

12:40 am

cybernan: no coke, *****!

oh, that's good, i thought you were going to say "very challenging"

5:38 am

5:45 am

clue for to6/24 please

5:45 am

I must be sleeping on the job!!!!!!!! See ya all

5:45 am

I have this wonderful picture in my head of a meeting of the Union of Fantasty Creatures, with the ents protesting that they are not properly represented in the Enable word list, and the orcs sticking out their tongues and jeering

5:46 am

LOL!

5:46 am

to6.24 - what men get when they are sick of comb-overs

5:46 am

would that be the bad man-hair, Andree?

5:46 am

the orcs and the rocs!

5:47 am

thanks lynxxx and amanda!

5:48 am

I have the hair as 6/21

5:48 am

Wouldn't that be fun :)

5:49 am

there seems to be 2 versions andree - so keep going on them

5:49 am

try an alt. spelling Andree

5:49 am

ok

5:50 am

the 6/24s sometimes look like the 6/21s, but they're (according to the dic) two different things

5:50 am

wow, i've never seen that spelling before, thanks.

5:51 am

still looking

5:51 am

I think that the to5.12 must be like a pith helmet - some-one said it was headwear worn in tropics

5:51 am

anyone got st9/66????

5:51 am

mind you I'm still looking for a spanish horse that was clued an hour ago so don't hold your breath

5:52 am

someone gave a great clue for the st9 - made more guiness, or something along those lines

5:53 am

6:31 am

lynxxx, one is like the beginning of ps***o-science

6:31 am

They are both plurals, lynxxx. One is a greek plural, takes only vowels after the ps. The other is a more common plural.

6:32 am

thanks Fran & Sprite

6:32 am

just realized mine was the ps5/16!

6:33 am

Thanks for the mistake, Fran, I didn't have that one yet :)

No!

6:36 am

morning all!

6:36 am

BBL - daughter wants to use computer (cheek!)

6:36 am

I only have 3 so far. The 5/12s are the two muscles, one on each side of the loin, extending internally from the sides of the spinal column to the upper end of the femur, which assist in flexing and rotating the thigh and flexing the trunk on the pelvis

6:36 am

Hi Becca

6:48 am

so her hat, yes. :-)

6:48 am

i almost used miss marple wolvie!

What is today's icon theme?

6:49 am

hee - all the actresses that I have seen don't match Christies descripton - at least to me, so I went with the hat. :-)

6:49 am

decided to stay with hawaii theme instead, but i love Agatha Christie.

6:50 am

famous detectives

6:50 am

I used to watch Hawaii 5-0, loved it - ah school days. :-)

thanks une

6:50 am

i know what you mean wolvie! same with hercule.

6:51 am

true - the HP's just don't quite do it for me. :-)

6:51 am

but i'm sticking with my panting dog!

6:54 am

congrats, sprite!

6:54 am

bye sprite!!

6:54 am

wb amanda!

6:54 am

Wow. that long ago - I am way behind on celeb news

Bye sprite

6:56 am

bye sprite

7:01 am

does the e-word have anything to do with letters - the kind you write, not the kind you spell with

7:02 am

never mind - asking almost always makes me find the word

7:02 am

it means good digestion, amanda - the e8

7:02 am

oops - sorry. :-)

7:03 am

actually, the digestion one comes from the top e - the one in the second row is an easy one I just wasn't seeing

7:04 am

oh - I didn't know which you were looking for -

7:05 am

but thanks!

7:06 am

ah - like the single n word. :-) (easy, that is)

7:09 am

urgh, I' missing one a - i've got 2 monkeys, a church, a tree and a snake - what's missing (and what can I do with 2 monkeys, a church, a tree and a snake?)

7:10 am

good morning, fellow babblers

7:10 am

hi annie@

7:10 am

hi annie!

Morning Annie

7:10 am

morning anne!

7:11 am

hi fran, becca, wolvie, amanda

7:11 am

amandac - you are missing another snake as5.12 (I thought it was a jelly!)

7:11 am

hello annie

7:12 am

hi lynxxx

7:12 am

ooh, thanks lynxxx!

hello

7:13 am

hi herin!

Hi herin!

how is we all

7:13 am

hi infernal!

7:13 am

perfect, thanks lynxx - though that didn't help my snake phobia. A viper with horns is too much for me!

7:13 am

hi, herin

7:13 am

hi herin!

what is this viper with horns we speak of?

hello back

7:15 am

one of the a-words, herin

arr i though that was just a viper

I can't get the viper (although perhaps I should be grateful of that!)

7:16 am

oh boy - will have to monkey that snake - I know of many horned viper, but no a ones. :-(

um becca cleopatra was killed by one.

7:16 am

the a-words make up some sort of bizzare Garden of Eden - two monkeys see two snakes in a tree and then form a church - I think my imagination is running away with me...

LOL Amanda!!!

7:17 am

pe6.21 chinese cabbage has just given me fireworks

i am taking a 15min break then im off

woo hooo lynxx

7:17 am

I have the plural of the cleo snake - is the other viper a play on that?

I think I have that one herin - it's the other one I'm after

7:18 am

congrats lynx!!

Congrats lynxx!!!

um i dont have licketys list so im not sure

7:18 am

yay, lynxxx!!!

7:18 am

yay lynxx, boo chinese cabbage - we've had that before, now what was it....

7:18 am

yay lynxxx!

if i get the list ill never finish assignments

7:19 am

wolvie - put a vowel into the 4th position

7:19 am

got it - becca, as plus the first three letters of being mad

7:19 am

thanks for the chinese cabbage too lynxxx!

7:19 am

thanks lynx :-)

7:19 am

there's the Cleo snake pl. and the other one is almost the same, or almost meat-jelly

Yay - got the snake, thanks lynxx and wolvie

thats what that stuff is amanda

7:21 am

the jelly ends in a c, not like the a word does. just fyi. :-)

What's meat jelly?

the other as 5 is a snow thing

matty um mint jelly is a type of as5/12

7:22 am

gross, huh?

nope

7:22 am

meat jelly is an as**c, matty

7:23 am

the word is not in the grid, so no worries. :-)

Ahhh. Thanks

opps um i got confused

no as 5/12 is a type of horned viper

7:24 am

well, have to get to bed. See all youse guys later.

Well, it is, I think, if you substitute the last consonsent for something else. But then it's not the meat jelly, I guess

7:24 am

right, herin. :-)

Like your icon Matty - TP is also one of my favourite authors!

7:24 am

right, matty!

7:24 am

sweet dreams, Fran

7:24 am

nite fran

7:24 am

Nite Fran - sleep well

Night Fran

you could put mint jelly on snake but i beleve it tastes like chicken not pork

7:25 am

LOL, herin

nite fran

7:25 am

nitey nite, fran

im here all evening thank you

7:25 am

is anyone stuck on anything 'cause I need to go too!

Lynxx I'm stuck on my remaining 112 words, but I think that's a little too much to ask for help with!

7:26 am

ooohhh yes, lynxx - one more o fromthe top. I've got 5 versions of not closed and two versions of choose...

7:27 am

any clue for the eu 8 plez

7:28 am

7:28 am

hello merk - eu8&9 - the middle of this is a very well known softdrink

7:29 am

Well thank you Lynxxx. That's a great clue.

7:29 am

That was it, thanks lynxxx. Hi Merk - I think the eu is the opposite if indigestion. If indigestion is dys...., then....

Well known everywhere in the world?

7:30 am

good mornin all how is the grid todat?

hi TO and peri

Gotta go and do some work. Bye everyone

7:35 am

bye becca

7:35 am

thanks spellit, but that clue is not helping me

Spellit - can you clarify?

7:36 am

peri, someone clued the st earlier as 'made more guiness' or something like that

7:36 am

op 7?

Amanda, perfect - that's the one!

7:37 am

most not closed, wolvie

7:37 am

ah. duh - thanks amanda

outen

im off to study or take over the play station

sorry

7:38 am

st9 first 5 letters are the drink made by Guiness... Does that help?

7:38 am

Oops Guinness I meant!!

7:38 am

spellit, got the first 5 letters, can't figure out the end

7:39 am

Use Past tense

7:39 am

Im trying but it is not accepted, will refresh and see what happens

7:39 am

eg fasten .... fastened!

7:40 am

ou 4,6 has me stuck

7:40 am

Peri the end is nearly "end"!

7:40 am

peri st5 then st7 then past tense for 9

7:40 am

got the st9, didn't know had to find the st7 first which was a new word for me.

7:40 am

thanks spellit

7:41 am

ou4 stick the UK abb for Street on the end

7:41 am

think too much noise, plural, but loose the l, merk

spet

7:41 am

hi back for a while, brain not working so to bed soon

7:41 am

Merk, it's a drum (I think), but that won't help - actually two drums, you should be able to monkey it from there

7:42 am

de

7:42 am

de

7:42 am

If I knew the UK abbrev. for street, I would

7:42 am

last 2 de's please

7:42 am

Well its the first 2 letters...!

I think it's the same as the US...

I have the ou5/5, but not the 4/6#

7:43 am

Thanks matty, but I can't get to that from the u.

7:43 am

merk - did you see my clue? you could also think of fluffy white stuff in the sky, just leave off the cl, and make the remainder plural that is the ou 4/6

7:43 am

Me either.

7:43 am

de6/24 ruler with absolute power bit like Tony Blair thinks he is!

7:43 am

Lickety does not show an ou 5, Is that my problem.

7:44 am

its the ou at the bottom of the grid

7:44 am

my lickety does. it means to throw out

I have an ou4/5, and ou6/24. I don't have anything else...

On the ou front

7:44 am

Oh duh, my stupidity again. I was looking at the ou on top, not the bottom f the grid.

7:44 am

well, look at my clue, matty -that is the ou 4/6

7:44 am

de6/21 a mechanism that temporarily keeps one part in a certain position relative to that of another, and can be released by applying force to one of the parts. Wow that'a a mouthful!

Got it!

7:45 am

Or add an e at the end and you get the relationship between France and UK...

7:45 am

wolvie clued the ou before, fluffly things in the sky, leave off first 2 letters, pl

7:45 am

I am really struggling with the p's - they are rapidly becoming my re's

7:45 am

geez - that's what that means! I thought it was 'to take down the canvas housing'

7:46 am

hi ex wren - I sympathize

7:46 am

have to run some chores, be back later

I have only 9 of the Ps from the top, and just three from the middle

7:46 am

bye annie

7:46 am

spellit, have that de6/24 must need one before iit

7:47 am

andree, do you have the bad tyrant?

7:47 am

one of those p's is chinese cabbage - we've had it before but I can't remember what it is

7:47 am

in a manner of speaking. :-)

7:47 am

de6/21 is how you get rid of the de6/24!

7:47 am

Sorry first 6/24 is how you get rid etc

7:48 am

thanks spellit - I was going to start digging

Phantom - episode

7:50 am

thx spellit

7:50 am

my phantoms are nopostism and euthanasia

7:51 am

*nepostism

7:55 am

erupt. I keep wondering why I can't see the R

7:57 am

I am stuck on pe 7/32, help please

8:00 am

sorry inge - haven't got it yet

8:00 am

I don't have that yet, inge

8:00 am

wow, there are few babblers right now!

8:02 am

just not a lot of talkative ones, inge

8:02 am

Got the pe7 - it starts with a writing implement and finishes with an anagram of those things at the end of your feet!

8:02 am

thanks, spellit!

8:03 am

thx spellit!

8:03 am

Good mornign, Babblers!

8:03 am

I keep forgetting the plurals! They are everywhere

8:04 am

morning BGL

8:04 am

8:04 am

8:04 am

thx for pe 7 spellit

8:05 am

mornin babblers!

8:05 am

wow, found my phantom word - "spate"

8:05 am

hi evan!

8:05 am

mornin' evan

8:06 am

pouted is my phantom word

8:06 am

hi shade eagle

8:06 am

bye peri

8:06 am

mornin' wolvie

8:06 am

morning! Just popping in for a minute before school

8:06 am

thanks spellit, came up for air, and there was the pe 7

8:06 am

well, take child to school in the pouring rain

8:06 am

hi kl

8:07 am

hi evan, shade and everyone else who has come in, I am distracted by this grid

8:07 am

I'm not really awake enough to be attempting this right now, but that's not stopping me at the moment

8:07 am

my brains not working...as 5/12 not the tree?

8:08 am

kl... how was the rest of the wedding weekend?

I'm actually finding this board to be very difficult. Usually I'm halfway or near by this time; as of now I only have 64 words

8:08 am

like the meat jelly, cauze, just change the last letter to another consonant

8:08 am

Cauze - one of them is

8:08 am

Other as5 is a horned viper

8:08 am

as 5/12:; same first 3 letters, then third vowel and snake

8:09 am

the pe's are killing me, samantha

8:09 am

thanks

I'm not sure what

8:09 am

oh, the wedding bit the big one. Sis-in-law pretty much had wedding family photos and didn;t bother with anyone else in the portraits except mom, dad, and those in he rwedding party, which meant everyone but my daughter, son, and me.

taking me down; I'm listless as of yet

I need coffee

8:10 am

wow, kl - bad news - sorry

8:10 am

going for coffee refill, brb

8:10 am

but daughter was SOOOO cute on the dance floor (we couldn't leave til the band took a break) it made up for the evening

8:10 am

Well, at least it's over! (of course she will be your sis-in-law for a while)

8:10 am

and had I know we wouldn't be in the photos, I wouldn't have dragged my daughter to the church. I had to fight with her for 20 minutes for her to put on her dress

8:11 am

image this: I had to tell her I was leaving, so I stepped into the hall of the hotel, letting her scream MOMMY and pounding and crying on the door. and of course that was when peopel WALKED by!

8:12 am

and I don't mind the screaming, but, ,you know, I would have liked to put both my daughter and I through that hell for someone who appreciated it, you know

8:12 am

oh man - this just gets worse, kl - glad the dancing daughter made it okay. :-)

8:12 am

sounds like a bummer all the way around the ceremony and pictures.

8:12 am

yep, it bit. :)

8:13 am

but, you know, my sis-in-law hated me from the day I met my husband (oh., 11/87) so, I am kinda used to it

8:13 am

my phantom word - pseudo!

8:13 am

I've got to stop looking for other people's phantom words

8:13 am

my phantom has been anything with an OU

8:14 am

It's not fair to your kids, though. You are an adult and can write it off, but your kids...

8:14 am

oooh, bg - VERY close to a word, just a bit long. :-)

8:14 am

not that your's isn't a word, you understand. :-)

8:14 am

well, they live in WI and we are in IL, so, we just won't have much to do with them anymore and when she does her passive-aggresive snipes t me, I am not letting them go for the sake of family harmony anymore

8:15 am

Thnx wolvie... I didn't know that was a word! :)

8:15 am

hey, I didn't know either. cool!

8:15 am

:-)

8:16 am

brb - all! Have to wake small one to take big one to school! Darn rain

8:17 am

BGL - that happens to me here a lot.

8:17 am

okay, I think I've decided this board needs an R somewhere in it. I'm getting a ton of phantom words that end with R

8:17 am

Poteen is my phantom

8:18 am

Yeh, me too. You'd think I start increasing my vocab and/or remembering the words for an upcoming puzzle, but it doesn't usually work tht way.

8:19 am

LOL Shade

8:19 am

I've got to see the word at least 5 or 6 times before I have a shot of remembering it

That's not unusual, shade--I'm the same way

8:21 am

I type words over and over forgetting I already have it, so no hope remembering for another day

8:22 am

I think its called "öldtimers disease

8:23 am

ö

8:23 am

this all sounds disturbingly familiar... :-)

My current phantom word is "sapient"

8:24 am

hey! the log now takes special characters!

tees

whoops

8:25 am

man I already had that word :)

Sorry to disappoint

8:27 am

TO6-7 combo -- mans hairpiece

8:28 am

oh cheers evandine!

8:28 am

good job evan, now I need to find them. :-)

8:29 am

oh bother - se6/18 and se6/21 directly after the 'group of 7'?

w0000t! More than halfway! Now I can go check out the lists without breaking my silly, self-imposed rule!

8:29 am

I just opened lickety myself, sam - same reason. :-)

Oh, I haven't actually *opened* Lickety yet--I just *can*, now, if I want to :D

8:31 am

the 6/18 I have is like a couch, amanda

8:31 am

well I did, lol, sam

8:32 am

it's before that, wolvie - my monkeys just can't figure it out

8:34 am

any hints for the words coming from the top 2 E's?

8:34 am

ah - still working on that one myself

8:34 am

I'm glad others have silly "self-imposed" rules also...

BGL, what would life be without meaningless restrictions and goals?

8:34 am

eu - soft drink, plus vowel evan

8:35 am

se/6 is it ... I se** a letter + ** phone home

8:35 am

the other from that top e is the plural of the clue I gave you

8:36 am

nope, yet another se, mooch

wolvie, I don't see a soft drink in there *anywhere*

Amanda, one of the SEs is a wierd compound--have you ever se* *** a dish of milk for a cat at night?

8:36 am

sure you do sam - the eu's are happy digestion

8:37 am

not coke, but Pe......, sam

Happy digestion? Have you and wolvie gone crazy?

8:37 am

yay, sam - one more se...

8:38 am

nope - the exact def is "good digestion", sam. :-)

8:38 am

*interestink*

8:38 am

more or less, yes, Sam - but it really does mean that (sort of)

8:39 am

got it wolvie & amanda, thx!

8:39 am

hows about for that other top E?

8:39 am

amanda - the other se6 sounds like a sugar se* up + dextr***

8:39 am

Thank goodness I have finished the p's at last. It was an uphill struggle

The other se has a chemically-ending, though the word does not mean a chemical of any sort

8:39 am

you mean the e in the second row, evan?

Think lact*** intolerance

8:39 am

phew! Thanks, BGL - 1 word to go, and it's....

8:39 am

8:44 am

8:44 am

Yay amanda!

8:44 am

Good Night I have been working silently without the chat but falling asleep at keyboard

Also, can you put a blankrety-blanking R in this puzzle? I need one.

8:45 am

Anyone else in the Midwest/Chicago area today? Man, this weather is only good for a fish!

8:45 am

G'night Tiny

8:45 am

8:45 am

good night

8:45 am

well, let's see... how 'bout a long story about swords?

8:45 am

nite tiny

8:46 am

night Tiny

I have two sword-related ones, though I'm not sure of any particular stories related to them

8:46 am

...that comes to a close 3 times

8:47 am

2nd as 5 pls?

8:47 am

but if there were a story it would be an ....

8:47 am

AS + to take a ***S (when you go to the bathroom)

8:48 am

thnx

8:48 am

amanda - i am dense today - there is no c, so can you help me out a bit?

8:48 am

I shouldn't be clueing should I? So tired I am a little umm colorful

8:49 am

clue for es5/12 please

laurel, you keep it right up. Your tiredness is all that's keeping some of us awake

8:49 am

almost, wolvie - the other long-story-word that begins the same way

es 5/12 - e + opp of go, plural for 6/21

8:50 am

ah. thanks amanda!

8:50 am

:) THanks, Sam!

8:51 am

Over half way... time for a break. BBL

8:51 am

8:52 am

thanks, bunny! :)

<temper tantrum> I WANNA RRRRRRRRRRR IN MY PUZZLE! </temper tantrum>

yw

8:53 am

I want a R too, Samantha!

8:53 am

lol sam

Think of is this way, a high profile letter like an "R" would add at least fifty more words to the grid...

8:54 am

think if we all throw enough of a tantrum, an R will appear? :D

klaurel, methinks there's only one way to find out for sure

WEe're going to have to ask Dr_God

They'd all be re's too.

8:55 am

true! with all good things comes a bad

8:55 am

got the esclue at last,thx bunny

OK, bunny, your superior logic wins the day. I will be content with "pretend" as a mere phantom

8:56 am

I considered wanting an r myself, but then I realized that there would probably be about twice as many words, so decided we were well of without it

8:57 am

aaarrggghh! EU?

8:57 am

any hints for the 9 letter words?

I've been absentee, remind me how to skip to the next line without posting into chat by hitting enter...

8:57 am

no no no, no re's, please. The p's were bad enough

8:57 am

kangaroo -- theres an EU 8/55 - 9/72 combo

Then st 9/66, builds off of the st 5/12 and st 7/32 preceding it.

8:58 am

klaurel - if indigestion is dys******, then good digestion is your eu word

8:58 am

evan, a little help with that EU would be nice. :D

8:59 am

bunny, care to elaborate on that ST group? ;)

8:59 am

thanks, amanda

9:00 am

eu + Coke's rival + vowel then make it plural

Someone gave an excellent clue earlier, eu 8/55, eu + a brand of soda + 1st vowel

9:00 am

my favorite clue of the day - st9 = made more guiness

9:01 am

well folks, 50 left to go - bbl - must do some things today. :-)

add onto the st 5/12 ( heavy or bulky) or...st + opp of in + 10 (lose a T)

Past tense for the 9 (BTW, I'm way out of practice giving clues).

9:03 am

bye wolvie, with 34 to go I am off to bed, happy babbling, I am finding this grid very difficult

9:04 am

worked for me bunny!! thanks!

9:04 am

thanks, worked great

9:04 am

good clues for the eu's

9:05 am

dennet

9:05 am

nite andree

9:05 am

whoops sorry

9:05 am

I don't think I'll ever forget that eu-word. I have this picture in my head of a cartoon stomach with arms and legs bouncing euphorically around a room shouting "Yippee!"

9:05 am

bunnyvicious, glad to see you. I really missed you these past weeks....months

...with a soda can in its hand.

Been about two months. I have two sets of very ill grandparents who needs meals and cleaning done for them. Tack on the five kids and buying a house...well....

9:08 am

ouch, bunny!

9:08 am

hee hee! Now I'm wondering if that's where the name came from...google, here I come..

9:08 am

I keep wondering how you and your neighbor are geting along. but you have moved away from that crazy guy

9:08 am

no need to apoligize mooch its not a word hehe

Yup, good riddance to the psycho, hello scorpians, tarantulas, and coyotes. I never thought of myself as a city girl, but if I see one more goat walk down the road...

9:10 am

so clues for those eu words?

9:10 am

anyone have a hint for the je6 and 7?

that je 6 rhymes with the te 5/10, double the cons in the middle.

9:11 am

a girls name shortened + something you use when you fish. Then the plural. je6 and je7

9:12 am

think of Olympian Bruce J*****, but change the last letter to T and then PL for 7

9:12 am

phan -- scroll down to my 9:00 clue

9:12 am

I need but one more word, no doubt a fishy one: I need se 5/10 just above the dark brown color and after shipping

9:12 am

bunny, i was curious and looked up Weatherford--looks like a very interesting little town! http://tinyurl.com/ltmeh

9:12 am

OMG actually, the 6 is another spelling for MY middle name. AHAHHAAHA

9:12 am

and here is the test of how old KC is! :)

Inge, add a vowel to the shipping

9:13 am

thnx Evanadine!

9:14 am

Google is out friend. 1903: "In keeping with its origin as a pharmacist's concoction, (brand name) inventor Caleb Bradham's advertising praises his drink as "Exhilarating, invigorating, aids digestion."

Une, it is! Red-neck Bible belt, we are in Peaster, little out of Weatherford.

9:14 am

FIREWORKS yeah

9:14 am

congrats, inge!

Go inge!

9:15 am

believe me, i know about Bible belt . . . !!

9:15 am

Yay Inge!

9:15 am

Congratulations!

9:17 am

yaya Inge!

9:17 am

KL old enough that I knew the answer to Bruce. ;-)

9:18 am

:)

...and Redneck, I forgot, Nashville. I';ve never seen that site, we look so purty. I'm gonna dedicate a site to the "actual" town where they rowded so many buildings on the interstate it takes 30 min to get through 2 lights.

9:19 am

Good morning Babblers. Inge--congrats. Bunny--I love your icon. My rabbit is at my feet, feeding me clues.

9:20 am

bunny, i grew up in a little town northeast of here where our phone no. was 26! (many moons ago, of course!)

Thx, I'm just to lazy to shop for new pics everyday.

LOL, you've got me beat! But I still don't like the livestock trolling the neighborhood.

9:21 am

two new features you may not know about, Bunny, are Stidmamas story, which she usually tells at 9 pm grid time. First 41 chapers are in Babanon interest section; and the very funny exchange of stories in the icons of chj, Evananut and Renfield, keeps me laughing anyway

9:22 am

Afternoon all.........

9:22 am

9:23 am

9:26 am

Hi harp

9:26 am

Probably about 125 miles

9:26 am

Maybe a little over 2 hours

9:27 am

harpjane...SNAP!!!

9:27 am

chj, one of our newer babblers and an excellent cluer, grew up in an orphanage down the road from where Nut and Ren grew up, the stories all grow from there

9:28 am

right ow they are in a pirate phase, all imaginary of curse

9:28 am

*course

9:29 am

this no R is really messing with me!

9:29 am

wow..but for one damn s..there could be a great compound word in there..so what you wash with..and suds..ack

9:29 am

does any one have a clue for the st/9

9:30 am

Thanks, deb. Boy, am I going to be spending alot of time in cars when I come home this winter ... ugh.

9:30 am

9:30 am

9:31 am

Fireworks! Those 'p' words nearly killed me.

9:31 am

Yeah for Merk!!!

9:31 am

yay merk

9:32 am

Yay Merk!

Une, that's neat. I don't think I'm near any babblers :(

9:32 am

bravo Merk

9:32 am

Good job Merk

9:32 am

anya, are you still here? do you want clues?

9:33 am

Thanks! I'm leaving unless someone needs a clue yet.

9:33 am

Well, I'm off, guys. Have fun with the rest of the grid!

9:34 am

shorty didyou have any luck with st9 ? It builds off the last st 5/12

I better get, but before I do... I need a little bit of advice concerning my kitties.

9:35 am

Sorry, I don't know much about cats except from my daughter.

9:35 am

What did you want to know bunny?

We just bought a house nd the front porch is an elevated and fenced in deck. What can I sprinkle/spray/shove under it to keep the cats from using it as a litter box?

9:36 am

morning all

9:36 am

I'd suggest a google search on that one.

Inge-

9:36 am

A dog ..

Inge-

9:36 am

Morning Raelite.

9:36 am

Morning rae

9:36 am

Hi torgone

Inge, I am still here. Having typing issues, apparently.

9:37 am

bunny,..mothballs.

9:37 am

Well you all seem well started and not in need of clues so I'll meander off now. Good luck with your kitties, bunny.

9:37 am

yes Anya, what can I do for you?

9:37 am

bunny - cats hate lavender...I have several plants in front of places I don't want EL Catto to venture

G'bye merk

9:37 am

my neighbor years ago had about40 cats..and they were always..err, littering in my flower boxes..etc

9:37 am

I was told to use mothballs as a deterrent..and it worked!

however, mothballs are toxic to cats, so if you have one that eats unusual things, it could be a problem.

9:38 am

lavender sounds like a helluva better alternative than mothballs..the smell, ack

9:39 am

Wow

I'll do BOTH! Does lavedar grow easily? We have pretty rocky and dry soil.

9:39 am

what I did was plant catnip on one side of the garden and lavender where I didn't want him to go...so far, so good

9:39 am

i hate to sound too cruel..but if the mothballs were toxic..so be it..she had no right to allow 40 dang cats to roam..

9:40 am

especially in MY space..It was horrendous

9:40 am

you can put the lavender in containers...then they would be a mobile task force!! lavender is very easy to grow

well, i understand that, liana, i am just saying that if bunny's cats are pets, she might not want to use that.

9:40 am

anya..i agree whole heartedly

9:40 am

:)

i have also used mothballs when a neighbor's cat kept killing birds and bunnies in our yard.

Forty is a little much, we have ten. But I like to have them around to keep the snakes at bay, we are in copperhead territory.

9:41 am

and the lavender should be on sale this time of year...you want to get establish plants

9:41 am

okay..time for my shower..happy babbling, gang..xoxoxo'

9:41 am

how about lavender oil to get started, bunny?

bye lian

9:42 am

Bye liana

inge, I need 89 words. I am sure you know through our psychic connection which ones. ;)

Good idea. I try to limit my nursery trips to once a month. I tend to overspend now that I have four acres to decorate, lol.

9:43 am

I reached 100 words. Off to do some stuff

9:43 am

or plant brambles - then you get blackberries as well as cat deterrent :P

Brambles would be good for the cat problem, but two four year old girls + lots of staining blackberries right at hand....

9:45 am

huh?

inge, my car *might* be done tonight

neps

this is why i don't usually chat.

Well, thank you for the advice. We're off to grandmas for a fun filled day of mowing and pulling weeds!

9:47 am

Can I come with you bunny?

That's an expensive flight just to do yard work in 100 degree weather!

9:48 am

LOL

9:48 am

But my offer to mail you the twins still stands!

9:48 am

I will take it bunny!!

9:50 am

9:51 am

harp its a fish

9:51 am

harpjane: it rhymes with what you sit on in a park

pi 4/5 - pi + when I tell my daughter her room is dirty, she says ** what?

9:51 am

9:51 am

That's a thought...

1:46 pm

do they both end in three vowels, wolvie?

1:58 pm

hi harp

1:58 pm

Hello, harpjane.

1:58 pm

can someone help me with the first pe 5/12 and the second pe 5 /14? I'm sure I'll rate fish....

1:58 pm

can't get the de 5/12. more help please

1:58 pm

I"ll get right to the point. Could I get a clue or two, for the ps 5/12 words? I have the 5/16. Thanks

1:59 pm

the first de5/12 is pl of the de4/5 you get in your car when someone bumps it lightly

1:59 pm

the def for the ps: either of two muscles, one on each side of the loin, extending internally from the sides of the spinal column to the upper end of the femur, which assist in flexing and rotating the thigh and flexing the trunk on the pelvis. (both)

2:00 pm

wolvie- the first pe 5/14 is something that is waiting to happen. the other one is the macaroni, minus a consonant

2:00 pm

Or, pl of last name of Hitchhiker's Guide hero.

2:00 pm

(for de5/12, that is)

2:00 pm

thanks that was a foolish word to miss

2:00 pm

I have the car one, vic. I have the macaroni, too abe - let me look at these a sec

2:01 pm

or ps: ps+long feathery extravagant scarf b***

2:01 pm

(That was magzel asked for the de5/12, Wolvie.)

2:01 pm

de 5/12: what you have on your car when you've had a fender bender

2:02 pm

abe - I show a pe 5/12 between waiting and the macaroni... on my lickety

2:02 pm

Oh, I like your detective, raelite -- but I don't think she's sufficiently traditionally built in that picture! :)

2:02 pm

I liked the colours...my copy of the book doesn't have a lady on the cover!

What's a macaroni?

2:02 pm

pe 5/12: a sauce for pasta made from basil, garlic and onion

2:02 pm

hey - rae did better than me - I only have a hat for mine!!

Got the sauce...what's the macaroni?

2:03 pm

pe5/12 - odd pl of male "member"

2:03 pm

I have the sauce, cyber -but thanks

That's the one - thanks. Still looking for (as it's been mentioned) the ps - I have the fake, and the muscle.

2:04 pm

that's probably the one, vic - I'll work on it. (lol)

2:04 pm

macaroni clue: a type of pasta that's tube shaped and straight with ridges on it

my brain is just totally befuddled, I am not getting any of the clues today

2:04 pm

raelite, it looks like that copy is not in English!

2:04 pm

wolvie- that pe 5/12 - take the macaroni, lose a consonant, add a plural

2:04 pm

thanks! It's something we all have two of, yet most of us don't know the name!

2:04 pm

I know...it's in francais (my mother tongue)

2:04 pm

the other ps is still the muscle, matty - just a different ending - third vowel instead of snake

2:04 pm

pe 5/12: drop one of the double letters from the pasta and pluralize

2:05 pm

oh man - thanks abe!

Ta much!

2:05 pm

and cyber

2:05 pm

im done, thanks for all the help.

2:05 pm

Harpjane, I sure hope you aren't referring to the pe5/12 !!!

2:05 pm

could someone clue the de6,21?

2:05 pm

now - how about that second 5/14 (pe) ?

Rae, whats the french clue?

2:05 pm

Congrats, oggy!

2:05 pm

congrats oggy!!

2:05 pm

lol Vic, that's be a cold day in hell, wouldn't it!

2:06 pm

pe 5/14: plural of the 4/6 before it

I think my hair is pulled too tight, my head hurts and my eyes feel funny

2:06 pm

de6/21 - a catch or lever, but looks like an alliance minus the last e

2:07 pm

thanks cyber - I need to remember plurals!

2:07 pm

de 6/21: de + canvas shelter

2:07 pm

(well, not really an alliance so much as an easing of relations, I guess...)

2:07 pm

ah thanks!

2:07 pm

(But cybernan's clue is more to the point anyway!)

2:08 pm

yes, cybernan gets kudos for cluing for dummies

I'd love to get another 10 before going to the list...but I'm lagging.

2:10 pm

lol -- I gave up with 50 to go, matty

2:10 pm

47 left, all S words. What was I thinking?

2:11 pm

good luck, harp!

2:11 pm

does anyone have a clue for pa 7?

2:11 pm

Be brave, be strong, harp!

2:11 pm

And you, too, matty!

If I find another 9 - I'd have 100, and so 86 to go. You're all smarter than me.

2:12 pm

pa7: glue + opposite of down

2:12 pm

pa7/40 - stick together, pa5 + opp of down

2:12 pm

pa 7: compound word - glue + not down

2:12 pm

wow -- talk about thinking alike!

2:13 pm

heheh

2:14 pm

pe 7/32 pls

2:14 pm

Just like our brains were pa5-ed together.

2:14 pm

off for lunch -- back at the flip :)

2:15 pm

pe 7/32: latin 5 prefix + pantyh***

2:15 pm

pe7/32 - something chemical, start with pe4 meaning enclosed and add adj ending that rhymes with the n--- on your face

2:15 pm

bye cyber

2:15 pm

bye cybernan

2:16 pm

Bon appetit, cybernan.

2:16 pm

thnx Vicuna

tg - s's done - now to finish the t's

Really, rae - which one and as what?

2:50 pm

one of those movies they make at universal studioes

2:50 pm

the thing with me is, i can (and do) relate just about everything to star trek... STOPS DEAD IN TRACKS

2:50 pm

Cool!

2:51 pm

echoes matty's question

2:51 pm

very cool, rae

2:51 pm

it was a scene from I can't remember which one...the movie where they have the red suits, except for doctor guy

2:51 pm

he wore a blue suit

*forgets housework, waits in rapt attention*...

2:52 pm

well what character did he play?

Herm. That doesn't narrow it down quite enough! LOL.

2:52 pm

anyway, they had gone for their first vacation since having my brother and I to universal studios

2:52 pm

i'm a trekkie, but an odd one - other than the first series, my fav was DS9 ( but I liked NG, too)

2:52 pm

that IS odd

DS9 rocked.

It had an arc, and was dark and super, after the first couple of seasons.

2:53 pm

wait, ok, what year did he go, raelite?

2:53 pm

and my dad had just come off a cast from breaking his arm (he attmepted a triple lutz...) so anyhow they were looking for extras for a scene that would be playing in the background of the movie...this was 1989

The Visitor

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

1989... that's when five came out... so either that or six... i don't know much about filming schedules

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

well that sounds like it must be five then

JE6 and its related 7 anyone?

2:56 pm

I call all my students "Bob" -- even girls.

5:27 pm

hey...at my age sometimes i forget my own...(name)

5:27 pm

mrslf, bad rulers get de****d

5:27 pm

jfarber, that is funny!!

mrslfd3... one is another word for tyrant

5:27 pm

no, there were too many hoops to jump through when I was in college for the amount of income it would give. I went for clerical work which paid the same but was a lot easy!

5:27 pm

The rule is -- if they haven't made an effort to make me learn their name by midterms, then their grade "bobs" too -- at "C" level.

5:27 pm

*easier*

5:27 pm

another de6/24 is plural of the train stations

one is the plural of the place you board or disembark from buses or trains

5:28 pm

That is funny. I can't imagine how I would be with a whole room full to remember, and ones I didn't give birth to, at that!

5:28 pm

Bad pun, but they remember it -- and remember to participate, too!

5:28 pm

oh, you had mentioned about the first graders, so I thought you were teaching

5:28 pm

that's cool jfarber! i always liked teachers with a sense of humor.

5:29 pm

In middle school electives, we have 8 "roomsful" to remember -- every other day, time four classes a day. And first midterms are five weeks after the year begins, so I need something to get them to teach me their names!

5:29 pm

Dorky humor is about it, for teachers, tho.

phantom word: septum

5:29 pm

mandatory name tags!!

5:29 pm

mrslfd, the last two de6/24s are anagrams of each other.

5:29 pm

5:29 pm

5:32 pm

But...there's no I anywhere near there for a male member! Perhaps you mean the pasta?

6:11 pm

jf, drop the i and make it a d

6:11 pm

i believe that its the plural of male member

6:11 pm

lol I was thinking he did not have the "male member"

6:12 pm

so5/14?

6:12 pm

yes cauz it is

6:12 pm

plural ends in i, surely. and I do SO have the male member -- and two kids to prove it!

6:12 pm

so5/14 compass direction

6:12 pm

Try spelling the male member in a different way.

6:13 pm

NOT the pasta? and with no d?

6:14 pm

6:14 pm

jf, singular male member, swap the i for a d is pe5/14. the pasta is pe5/12 hth

6:15 pm

8:39 pm

se 6/18 - se + anagram of foot digits

8:40 pm

I'll go with the mackerel. cod smells funny ;)

i can't remember what cod is for...the haddock is obvisouness i believe...like the pollock is for plurality

8:40 pm

*hugs shade* ty

and mayi have a clue please for the de6/24 after the stations? ty

8:41 pm

no prob (had that clued a few hours ago myself, so I feel your pain)

8:41 pm

stations

oh but you don't get to pick...theres a protocol you know! : D

8:41 pm

i believe anj's fish code is archived somewhere in babanon

8:42 pm

de6 a dictator

8:42 pm

de 6/24 - think Kim Jong Il, Pol Pot, other tyrannical leaders - another name for those guys

8:42 pm

a cruel dictator

yes mab it is..is it the cod of "doh"

8:42 pm

8:45 pm

8:45 pm

8:45 pm

egad, Je6/33 changes meaning depending on who's using it, and when. And it looks like I am wrong. Female donkey is the proper definition. I was evidently confusing it with hinny.

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

to + urinates

8:46 pm

maybe different in Canadia, brandy

8:47 pm

8:47 pm

9:20 pm

On the third day of the harvest, Sebastian appeared, looking ill at ease and out of place. He was nearly as big as Otto and Owain, but not as muscular.

By the time he had them back together, he had miss-cut a noticeable bit of his row.

9:28 pm

Sebastian's face turned sullen. Peter immediately put a hand on his shoulder, "Other than that one section, though, you're controlling your team well and I am glad you are here to help. We can use you."

9:28 pm

pe + ***tles ****les makes the very best....chaaaaaawwwklate

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

Andy, meantime, had been carefully making his passes and row after row of fresh-mown hay lay waiting for tying up.

Sebastian finished his row, handed the team to his grandfather, who had arrived with lunch and grabbed a piece of roast chicken.

9:31 pm

they were in stamford this summer TO

9:31 pm

Peter and the other men came up, hot and tired from their work and started to wash up in the buckets Nan and Doris had set out in the shade.

9:32 pm

Peter took a look at his son, sighed and walked up to him, drawing him away from the others.

9:33 pm

i dated a woman whose ex was the frank sinatra junior of puerto rico

9:33 pm

"Sebastian, I am sorry, but your tasks are not done. We don't eat until we finish the rows, and that patch back there still needs proper mowing. I know it's hard work, but I think you are up to it."

Nan brought a ladle of water to Sebastian, who drank it without a word and shoved it back at her.

9:34 pm

ren.....are you babbling

are there no other vic mackey fans here?

9:35 pm

She stood, holding the ladle, and watched him stomp off with a scythe in her hand.

9:35 pm

Silently, she walked back to her grandfather. Peter watched his son, and his niece sorrowfully.

9:36 pm

9:37 pm

Soon enough, people and animals were refreshed and it was time to return to work. A high, thin haze was moving across the sky, the kind that presages frosty nights and coming rains.

9:38 pm

speen queen?

9:38 pm

Thanks, chj

9:38 pm

spleen queen?

9:38 pm

Sebastian finished mowing the patch as the rest of the teams were heading back out. He was hot, and he was tired, and his temper was rising.

I watched Crash the other night... I was impressed

9:38 pm

spleen queen?

9:38 pm

Adam was packing up the remains of the meal. Doris was putting the dishes and towels back in the cart. Nan had was putting the water buckets in neat stacks when her cousin came storming up.

9:40 pm

i would believe it ren, all that rough-housing with little sis and the wee orphan

I need the last to 5/12 and so 5/14..pls

9:41 pm

Peter was standing by the head of the team for his son's mower, looking very solemn.

9:41 pm

uh oh, i think sebastion needs one of those buckets thrown over his head!

9:41 pm

rockin', so is a direction

9:41 pm

i just need a to rocking

9:42 pm

Sebastian didn't see his father, so focused was he on the absence of food... he walked up to Adam and gave him a shove. His grandfather fell against the cart and slid to the ground.

9:42 pm

do they have a salon on your pirate vessel ren?

9:43 pm

Doris turned on Sebastian, with a large wooden platter in her hands. Her eyes flashed, and she brandished the platter before her.

9:43 pm

no salon...no salon...

9:43 pm

Nan cried out and ran to her grandfather's side.

9:43 pm

to 5/12 there are two of them the first one is to+ urinate the second one is to+ slang for getting drunk in the UK

9:43 pm

But the commotion startled the little donkey, and as Nan ran in front, it bolted.

9:44 pm

oh no!

9:44 pm

Peter could not reach Nan in time, and she fell under the wheels.

9:45 pm

Sebastian and Doris watched in horror as first Adam, whose arm had fallen under the cart and then Nan cried out.

I need the third to 5/12

9:45 pm

Adam sat up almost immediately, groaning.

9:45 pm

But Nan did not move.

9:46 pm

Paul and the other came racing back from the field.

9:46 pm

to+3.14 plural

9:46 pm

Doris sat by Nan, hovering, but afraid to touch her.

toee

toees

9:47 pm

rockin' move your curser to the puzzle.

9:47 pm

Nan was pale, and her skin was clammy. Doris grabbed a large towel and put it over her sister, then looked helplessly at her father.

9:47 pm

Mistake. I have 66 left and I have to quit.

Oh..I am soo sorry

bubba218 someone who is very holy

9:48 pm

no problem since those weren't words from the puzzle. we've all done it.

9:48 pm

Adam was rocking back and forth, holding his injured arm, but refusing any help.

9:48 pm

Paul and Peter concentrated on Nan.

still not getting the one I need

9:48 pm

Thanks, Lucke---Why didn't I see that???

9:49 pm

They sent John to fetch Esmeralda and Gilly, and Daniel to get Helena.

Carefully, Paul lifted Nan and wrapped her in the towel. She struggled for breath, but looked clearly at her father.

9:50 pm

"Is Grampy okay?"

9:51 pm

bluecat: at the bottom is listed lickety split's babble clues. A fabbo help for all

9:51 pm

oh ok thank you

9:51 pm

Paul nodded, "Yes, Grampy will be okay. Do you hurt?"

9:52 pm

Nan tried to smile, but it was too much effort. She nodded, yes --- and closed her eyes.

9:52 pm

IBD, Thanks, Pyros for me

9:53 pm

Peter was looking at ground. The image of Nan's body was clear in the soft ground.

9:53 pm

9:54 pm

Adam tried to stand, and Doris was at his side, scolding him. "Grampy, don't even think of moving until the doctor gets here! We know it's broken, but we can't give you anything for the pain unless we know that's all it is!"

9:54 pm

thanks bubba. :-)

9:55 pm

Otto and Owain were unharnessing the teams with Andy and the other young helpers, leaving the mowers in the field and leading the animals back to their pasture.

9:56 pm

A few birds flew overhead as Helena came racing up, followed by Daniel.

9:56 pm

She was pale and out of breath, but assessed the situation quickly.

9:56 pm

ty

9:57 pm

you're welcome svso

9:57 pm

Adam she had moved to a more comfortable position by a fallen log so he could lean back. She gently propped up the broken arm with towels and told him to stay put.

9:57 pm

I'm missing a de6/24--I think the last one. help?

9:58 pm

Nan had not spoken again, and was even more pale. Paul was pale too, and shaking with grief, but he held her gently, having found a position that made her breathing easier.

9:58 pm

10:03 pm

svso: ne + double cross

10:03 pm

10:04 pm

A cry escaped Gilly, and Esmeralda silenced her with a look. "No need for that, see? the ground was soft. She'll make it."

10:04 pm

Paul's face untwisted at those words, but he held his breath.

10:04 pm

which one are you looking for natasha?

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

Andy hovered at the periphery, and Esmeralda looked straight at him, "I need fresh, cold water as fast as you can bring it. And don't worry, she'll be fine."

10:05 pm

10:07 pm
