12:04 am

I'm off to bed g'nite all

12:04 am

it really is fran !

12:04 am

nite flosey

12:04 am

Now that I've looked at this puzzle, I think I'll skip it. Does it still count against my average score, even though I haven't started playing?

12:04 am

night flosey!

12:04 am

holy moly!

12:05 am

mkl, it won't affect it much to skip it

12:05 am

but if you start playing and don't finish it will go down drastically

12:05 am

hi LA!

12:05 am

it doesn't affect total points at all, will affect the 30-day one a little

12:05 am

hello!

12:05 am

But does it affect it at all if I don't start?

12:06 am

skipping won't do anything mkl

12:07 am

Cool. I'm gonna pass. I have a busy day tomorrow. Now I know how smokers feel when they try to quit.

12:07 am

haha mkl! have a good day!

12:07 am

okay mkl, we won't try to suck you into this one!

12:07 am

Night

12:08 am

debb, what happened with min earlier? i only caught your last comment to her.

12:08 am

night mkl!

12:08 am

Nonsense. I used to smoke. Quitting didn't feel anywhere near as bad as skipping a puzzle does...

12:08 am

hullo bj!

12:08 am

the only way i could skip one is to not even turn on the computer

12:58 am

I like that "sometimes"!

12:58 am

12:58 am

Hi Leslie Ann

12:58 am

12:59 am

hi fran! 112 left - to do much, much later! no 8 or 9 yet

1:31 am

Thanks Sprite!

1:31 am

what's funny is your other icon would have fit today's theme, calligraphy art

1:32 am

Is that what it is? I haven't had much time lately, plus have my Grandson, he is spending the night with me. Was hoping for a small puzzle since he is FINALLY asleep :)

1:33 am

Maybe I'll change it back for today :)

1:33 am

oh no! we love this one!

1:33 am

yes! But love theother too!

1:33 am

Thank you :) I love black and whites, and found this one, and fell in love with it. Love my other one too, but wanted a change.

1:34 am

bins

1:34 am

gaaa

1:34 am

For the 9, think washing out the soap before you start.

1:34 am

Ok, I guess I'll dive intot his puzzle, a LOT of words, sure I won't get much done, but thats ok :)

1:35 am

'gaaaa' is not a valid word in this dictionary

1:35 am

LOL

1:35 am

lol

1:36 am

thanks, for the 9, sprite!

1:36 am

many thanks, sprite, have been wracking my brains trying to use that beginning!

1:37 am

yw :)

1:37 am

There is one with that beginning and weapons too.

1:37 am

sprite, does the 9 have anything to do with pr8/45 that I just found?

1:37 am

what does the 9 start with?

1:38 am

LOL, and Pi7/36 (compound) = Re5/10 (do bad things again)

1:38 am

Fran: Pr9/60

1:39 am

Cat: 3rd person singular of the 8.

1:39 am

thanks sprite

1:39 am

I tried adding an r onto the end of pr8/45, won't take it, so thats not it.

1:40 am

Thanks Sprite

1:40 am

Nope. You need the letter that comes after the 'he' form of verbs.

1:40 am

there is an re8.45 that builds on re6.21 - resting

1:40 am

Thanks :)

1:41 am

I found Pe7/32, which are in between the Pe5/12 and the Ar4/4.

1:45 am

is that the boy pe5/12?

1:45 am

thanks sprite..found it

1:45 am

Yes jilli. And the unisex ar4.4

1:46 am

if you look at the middle column of the board...you'll find it

1:46 am

must stay awake, lol

1:48 am

getting lots from that middle but not the pe7/32!! Too sleepy now, I think

1:48 am

Du7/40 - 8/55: heartwood(s). Or tough male(s). Or "sound of saying something obvious" + "so be it"

Crack! Ekkk!

have you seen the program on chanel 2.. 'worst jobs in history'? it is wrong!

4:39 am

My daughter is downloading stuff as well - maybe it was a bit much for Firefox. NSW does seem to have a lot of fires now - how far out from the City (are you in the City?)

Hey MrP - got room for me?

lynxxx - I think you frose cause of the number of words - and my stats page does lots of script stuff when you load it.

and btw - we are on the bush - far north

as far from the city as you can get! we are north.. and the fires are in the south and further north than us in Newcastle area

4:42 am

Hi everyone, 392? I'd better get started

4:43 am

TY - shan't worry then. Hope you don't get effected - nor anyone else in New South!

Hi Papp

4:43 am

hi mrp, sounds like you're dealing with fires? Glad you're not close. Hi lynxxx

4:45 am

mrp I have a couple of friends who are from Newcastle.

They are being smoked out Fran!! The south fires are no good, have already lost 8 houses down there.

4:48 am

One of them should be on his way back from UK. He comes here every summer to play cricket.

UNO !!

4:56 am

5:21 am

But fun

I don't think I'll start - I didn't manage to finish yesterday's - I went to the pub with 60odd to go. When it's a chore, it's no fun!

Me too Fish! I may never finish :)

5:29 am

I rarely finish a grid, but I never stop trying :)

5:30 am

If I have time I can usually finish, but this one is huge. Never give up Fish, took me quite awhile before I could finish the grids.

I'll let you know, Fishy :D

5:33 am

Yes please do. I haven't been to the cinema for ages (apart from to see Over the Hedge) was thinking about maybe going during the week.

No worries. Maybe I'll write a review ;)

5:36 am

6:02 am

beavering - I like that

6:04 am

6:07 am

I am exactly 2/3rds way through - which is a good time for me to break for the nite - see you all later

6:07 am

pr9/60 matty

6:08 am

Something you do before your main wash

6:08 am

Its just anthor rainy Sunday...........Goodmorning everyone!

6:10 am

Frances, can you tell which pr that 9 builds on?

6:10 am

top or bottom?

6:10 am

pr8/45

6:10 am

I wonder if it's the same on British machines.

6:11 am

Also look at ri5/10 and ri6/18

It isn't. But I found it. We call it the pr*wash

6:11 am

Thats the one

6:13 am

You're very welcome

Thanks guys!

6:13 am

6:13 am

You can have a small drink again if you like, but it is mighty early matty ;)

6:31 am

Eva hi here I am just saw 392 so here is my day!

6:31 am

is there a way to save this puzzle to work on later - short of printing it off? I know it won't help my stats, but I would like to tackle it

6:32 am

Guess you could always copy the grid into a word doc

6:33 am

yeah - that's what I was thinking. Ah well - I have started, I just wish my day wasn't so scheduled. Le sigh

6:33 am

or you could try keeping the browser window open and disconnecting from the internet.

6:33 am

Just off to get the Sunday papers before the news becomes history. Be back

6:34 am

hmmmm. I can keep this loaded, but it will refresh itself if I connect again, won't it? this site keeps time. I'll think on this a bit - thanks blood.

6:34 am

bye frances

6:35 am

11:06 am

...btw

11:06 am

11:06 am

Hi unaixoise. Just had to run and feed cat before he beat me up!

11:07 am

why are you overseas? if I may inquire...?

11:07 am

oh that's sad. my dad kept my cat when i went to college, i missed her a lot

11:08 am

i'm going to school in Morocco. I'll be here for a year.

11:08 am

it's strange, but she's the only thing I miss so far...and when I'm home I don't like her much.

11:08 am

i think it's because you can talk, e-mail your family, keep in touch, but that doesn't work with the animals

11:09 am

hm...that's a good point.

11:09 am

i never thought of it that way.

11:09 am

wow school in morocco...sounds exciting

11:09 am

I have been known to ring from abroad and ask my partner to hold the phone next to Flad so I can hear him purr. Sad?

11:10 am

no that's really cute hydra :)

11:10 am

not at all, hydra!

11:10 am

haha..not sad hydra...cute.

11:10 am

no that's totally sweet, hydra

11:10 am

Not at all, hyra. Perfectly understandable.

11:10 am

It's annoying when he won't purr and I've wasted a call tho'!

11:10 am

*hydra.

11:11 am

*hydra.

11:11 am

yea. cats are a little more unpredictable. they do what they want when they want.

11:11 am

i know that's probably a flower, hydra, but all small like that it looks like a starship of some sort

11:11 am

good morning everyone

11:11 am

cats are like that! my dad would say "baby (my cat) wants to say hi" and he would hold up the phone and the cat would stop whatever noise she was making

11:11 am

morning, wyrd

11:11 am

Oops! The chatlog's on a go slow again.

11:11 am

Like the time I was parrot-sitting for a friend. I called a radio station who were doing an item on pets and they asked me to make the parrot talk. He stayed schtum. When I came off air, he said, 'Take your knickers off' very loudly!

11:11 am

of course you would think it was a starship, hursh ;)

11:11 am

ROFLOL!

11:11 am

LOL hydra!

11:13 am

Hydra - Did you ask your friend how the parrot came to know such a phrase??:D

11:13 am

Hmmm Wish I had!

11:14 am

It escaped through a window the following year and apparently shouted that phrase all the way down the street!

11:14 am

hydra you have got to be making that up

11:14 am

No, I swear I am not!

11:15 am

wow that is quite the mental picture

11:15 am

Truth is often stranger than ficton, LeslieAnn.

11:16 am

The same couple had a dog called Clapham. I went on holiday with them all, in a caravan with parrot and dog, and the dog stole my knickers and ran into a field with them. That's true, too!

11:17 am

well you should have listened to the bird in the first place, obviously

11:17 am

:))))

11:17 am

sounds like a family with a knicker fetish... :)

11:17 am

taking a break. bbl

11:18 am

I had to share a room with the parrot. I covered up the cage and at 5am it lifted the corner of its cover and said, very quietly, 'good morning.' I couldn't believe it!

11:20 am

bye blood

11:20 am

sounds like you'd never be bored in that family, hydra

11:20 am

12:05 pm

bye charm

12:05 pm

so, on the jewish new year, does everyone get drunk on rosh hashana eve? does a glowing ball drop in jerusalem?

12:05 pm

cool! I don't what that means...but thank :)

12:05 pm

v'metuka

12:06 pm

or have you resisted the ridiculousness that is american new year

12:06 pm

i can see why frasier was fooled when noel taught him klingon instead of hebrew...

12:06 pm

Hurshy, none of the above. But we do eat a lot.

12:07 pm

Raelite, it means :a good year"

12:07 pm

did you have latkes (sp?) , ARB? I love those!

12:07 pm

that's one thing a miss about NY - the gobs of food at the holidays

12:07 pm

it's a religious holiday whereas New years in US is a secular/fun thing. It's about family and eating and getting ready for the heavy duty repenting you do in about a week on Yom Kippur...it's gearing up for that

12:07 pm

i actually know, girlfriday, i'm just being silly

12:08 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing?

12:08 pm

repentance burns a lot of calories, eh?

12:08 pm

lol

12:08 pm

Not enough, Hurshy!

12:09 pm

ifonly!

12:09 pm

i dunno - i think if you're REALLY wracked with guilt... then you don't eat...

12:09 pm

at least you only have a week of repentance...we've got 40 days!

12:09 pm

Raelite, latkes are at Hannukkah. At Rosh Hashana, there is usually fish, apples and honey -- all for symbolic reasons. Plus a huge meal

12:09 pm

Rosh Hashana isn't a great food holiday like H anukkah and passover

12:10 pm

speak for yourself raelite - i've got to be sorry a lot oftener than that

12:10 pm

I've only been to a hanukkah celelbration

12:10 pm

I"m talking about lent hursh...

12:10 pm

i know rae

12:11 pm

I see Eva's cat, Merp, is in the grid today.:)

12:12 pm

LOL, hursh.

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms since Charm's departure... having to look for words myself...

12:13 pm

heck I can't spell never mind put a sentence together!

12:14 pm

i was referring to ARB's sentence fragment. ellipsis would have helped. see, there i go, being a jerk

12:14 pm

12:15 pm

12:15 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ra 6/18 word please

12:16 pm

wouldn't it be fun if after you repented from the things you DID do, you could list all the things you didn't do, and say, see God, look at all the things i could have done wrong and didn't

12:16 pm

it's okay hurshy, you can jerk off if you want...or the gendered equivalent ;-)

12:16 pm

{{{evanadine}}}

1:10 pm

sorry to hear that evana.

1:11 pm

1:11 pm

{{{evanadine}}}

I hope he will be fine evana.

1:11 pm

Whitewitch, it is calm and beautiful fall weather. Political tornados but that's only a lot of newspaper print.

1:11 pm

I have been here since 11:00.I need to take a break!

1:12 pm

oh evanadine, that's just superstition, you know that

1:12 pm

I'll be back later to babble and to help out with clues.

1:12 pm

just a myth, evana

1:12 pm

eEva -so sorry about your grandmother, throw the superstition over your shoulder, it's a myth.

ARB - My friend Varda had a reunion with her first love after she went back to Tel Aviv. But not for long. Gilad got killed in Lebanon. He was one of the first 15 soldiers. I feel so sorry for her.

1:15 pm

and it's a good thing you didn't, evanadine. up until recently i was anxiety ridden precisely because all those shows about people in bad situations on the news or like on "rescue 9-1-1" start with, "when they woke up that morning they had no idea..." so i was determined to always be braced for disaster. it made life rather sucky.

1:16 pm

One of the sad stories of war, whitewitch

hmmm, none, hurshies are very uncoordinated

1:35 pm

(Just a philospphical question.)

OK, do I continue, after 3 pints...or give up.

1:36 pm

Personally, I believe that pretty much any dance you attempted therone would certainly be silly.

1:36 pm

matty drink 4 then continue lol x

1:36 pm

(theron)

1:36 pm

this is true. when i do dance, it tends to be silly.

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

(Oh, this philosphy is just too difficult. I give up.)

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

Hmm, I wonder if SHE can dance on a cue?

1:38 pm

1:38 pm

just watched silk stockings with cyd charise and astaire

1:39 pm

lovely film!

1:39 pm

lol

1:39 pm

Well, the one with the designer dress is probably Charlize.

1:39 pm

what if her dress was designed to look like a pool cue?

1:39 pm

HI all us5/12 and us6 please

Actually, then she'd probably look more like a cigarette.

1:40 pm

1:40 pm

Good night, MVA!

i got firworks at last

2:16 pm

wow, good for you oggy

2:16 pm

Yeah oggy!

2:16 pm

I am not a great one on TV shows. Whenever we really enjoyed one, like Alfred Hitchcock, it went off the air. So now I dont follow any shows, and dont remember any names either.

2:16 pm

Bravo Oggy

2:16 pm

Oh happy, happy oggy.

2:17 pm

I'm sorry, it was a terrible clue. Not his name, what she called him. I promise--no more old tv.

2:17 pm

Ahh. I like old tv.

2:18 pm

Hey, some people get those clues immediately, the rest will hopefully ask for another clue.

2:18 pm

thought I knew what she called him but don't see it here

2:18 pm

Flosey, my mom's husband said Ma*t** Cole when my son was born.

2:18 pm

Forget the old TV, it's what every genie calls the one who summons it.

2:19 pm

And then, after he's been summoned, leave out the T.

2:19 pm

How many words today?

2:19 pm

I had a dorm mate whose mother yelled Hiho, Silver! When she was born. It became her lifelong nickname

2:19 pm

I've got to be blind, I know the word but can't find it

2:19 pm

how about the re5/12 and re6/21 right before the re4/4 that is the guys that rule at a sporting event?

2:19 pm

Good point, KrisH. Let's not lose sight of the word that's actually being clued!

2:20 pm

Mooch, has to do with getting new weapons

2:21 pm

2:43 pm

The compulsive addicts, of course.

2:44 pm

I'm really not a masochist in any way (or an addict in other respects), but when it comes to a grid like this, I start to wonder...

2:44 pm

Those that MUST finish what they start.

2:44 pm

Those that MUST finish what they start.

2:44 pm

I COULD stop if I had to! LOL!

2:44 pm

If ther is anything I have learned the hard way in life, it is to be nonaddicted.... actually, I think I am addicted to being not addicted.

2:45 pm

is the double typing the proof of compulsion, arb? ;)

2:45 pm

Hi everyone!

2:45 pm

right, snowy. I can stop at any time!

2:45 pm

PLUS if I started, I would want to finish.... so I must be going now. Have fun everyone!!! HEY Hi Deutsch - haven't seen you in eons!!!

Hey, the Fables guy is in the grid... hello all, just dropping in quickly for a couple

2:50 pm

hello ankhorite

2:50 pm

We stayed in Governors' Camp - the tents were great.

2:51 pm

Hippos snorted in the river below the tents and baboons tried to throw things at us across the river!

2:51 pm

We had one morning when we were woken by the sound of a hippo chomping outside our tent! We stayed inside....

2:52 pm

Smart move.

2:52 pm

We were in Botswana and had some very close calls with Hippos

2:52 pm

Aesop & Sartre both in here, fat lot of good it does me when I can't even figure out what one does to a letter after stamping it!

6:38 pm

first me 5/12?

6:38 pm

Biltong, what is your dog chewing on??

6:39 pm

a club for intelligent people cybernan

6:39 pm

On a twig, inge. He loves chewing wood. Have to keep taking bits of wood away from him.

6:39 pm

Jilli, you bred Danes? Heartbreaking, so short-lived! What colors

6:39 pm

thanks again, lynxx -- didn't see that

6:40 pm

your dog is pretty darn cute too biltong. I worked for a guy this summer who had a wiener that looked just like him. His name is Eugene and he came to work everyday with us.

6:40 pm

I have 3 pe words left. two are pe5/12 and one is pe6/21 which I'm sure goes with one of the pe5/12's. Any clues? I'll try not to ask for awhile after these.

6:40 pm

pe5.12 the one before the pe7.32 pls

6:40 pm

Thanks, Bloodaxe. They are great pets.

6:41 pm

our line of Danes were living to 11 years or so - one of our purposes in breeding. We stuck to fawns and brindles.

6:41 pm

the pe5.12 & pe6.21 sounds like a womans handbag - change the 1st vowel

It's a plural of the pe 4/5

6:41 pm

Wow, that's great, Jilli. I like the brindles a bit better than the fawns, but I like them all.

6:42 pm

they are. I've gotten to know quite a few. My bosses son, who used to be my roommate has two minis: a grey dapple and a black/brown one. both girls. then another friend has a male like yours named Oliver

6:42 pm

there is the pe5: a plura; of a babbler

6:42 pm

s naem

6:42 pm

* a babbler's name

6:42 pm

A gray dapple Dachsie??

6:42 pm

yea. miniature as well.

6:43 pm

I thought they only came in red, and black & red.

6:43 pm

the next one begins like the old word for Iran, and the 6 is a plural of that last one,

6:44 pm

I love a clear golden fawn with not too much black mask. It's hard to get a really well-marked brindle with that kind of base coat and tiger-striping!

6:44 pm

My daughter has a black/brown male. I also just recently saw a dapple on the internet. Ankh, they also come in choc/brown, looks almost velvety.

6:44 pm

no. she's mostly gray with some black, and brown around her mouth. She's SOOOO cute. her name is Plum.

6:44 pm

the one left if the one after a cheerleader pe** people up

6:44 pm

Hmmm! I'll have to get a look at Plum someday. Okay, True Love is hauling me away by the hair, see y'all later.

6:44 pm

haha..bye ank.

6:44 pm

I'm talking Danes - you're talking dachsies, I think

6:45 pm

bye ankh!

bye ank

6:45 pm

yes we are jill. i've never really seen a dane up close.

6:45 pm

pe 5, the last one, a ladies pu***, change the u to e

6:45 pm

Bye...also, Biltong, gotta see your daughter's some day. Yes, Jilli, you had fawn/brindle Danes, but Bilt & Blood have unusual colored dachsies (gray dapple, choc brown) more later!

6:45 pm

Bloodaxe, your friends have all chosen such nice names. I would like another one, male, and I would name him Stuart. The one I have now is named Hercules (by my son-in-law).

6:46 pm

OW! *poof*

6:46 pm

I don't know whny I'm bothering with this grid - I olny have 179 words

6:46 pm

Bye, Ankh. Yes, will post my daughter's one soon.

6:46 pm

*why

One to go!!!

6:46 pm

hahaha. Hercules is such a great name for a dachsis. The other mini (black/brown) is named Paisian, but we call her paisey.

6:47 pm

GO SNP!

6:47 pm

Awesome Biltong. It's a great city

6:51 pm

6:55 pm

haha. is he vegetarian yet? and are you smoking?

6:55 pm

we all miss M@T

6:55 pm

or M@

He is not a vegetarian, but I am smoking a bit

Bad Ana

6:56 pm

i've wanted to start smoking sooo bad since I got here.

Really? Why?

6:56 pm

i don't know what it is, but i crave it so much.

I think moving makes all ex-smokers want to smoke. I started when I moved to Florida too.

6:57 pm

maybe it's the smoke mixed with the crisp mountain air...

6:57 pm

but i've resisted.

6:57 pm

so far.

you're doing better than me

6:58 pm

well i may just be there with you before too long.

6:58 pm

maybe ramadan would be the perfect timt to start. that way I can't smoke too much, and i'll get it out of my system, and it won't be too hard to quit again at the end of october.

6:58 pm

pa 7/32?

Haha restist the glowing embers of sweet, sweet ... darn I can't think of anything to call it

6:59 pm

pl of pa5/12 above it. cybernan

7:00 pm

ty, bloodaxe

See! Babble has robbed my brain of my vocabulary

7:00 pm

you're welcome. I figure since snp and I are taking up all the room in the chatter box I may as well give some clues while I'm at it.

7:00 pm

is it babble or the smoking, snppngtrtle :)

7:01 pm

babble is bad.

Probably both!

7:01 pm

ooohhhh...she's got you there!

No babble is soo, soo good

7:01 pm

I know, 'cause I'm a smoker too (not proudly so)

In the same way crack is good

7:01 pm

just like the cigarettes.

yay for smokers

7:02 pm

i smoked for about 7 years bil and quit just over 4 years ago. it's never been so hard to not smoke as it is right now.

7:02 pm

smoking evil. :) of course, that is because i am severely allergic to cigarette smoke

7:03 pm

haha...i wish we ALL were alergic to cigarette smoke.

That would certainly make things easier

7:03 pm

sure would.

7:04 pm

wonderful for your health when smoke makes your eyes water, your nose stuff, and your head ache

7:04 pm

I can imagine how you feel, Bloodaxe. But keep reminding yourself of all the disadvantages.

7:04 pm

Says me :)

7:04 pm

i try. i try...

I bet smoking doesn't have nearly the stigma over there though

7:05 pm

7:17 pm

Bye, snppngtrtle.

7:17 pm

haha..i'm sticking around for a while yet lynxxx. I was just saying goodbye to snppngtrtle

7:18 pm

pa - pa* for the course + second vowel + last vowel. Is that the one?

7:18 pm

haha..there is only one pa5/14 cybernan. pa* + the 2nd and the 5th vowels.

7:18 pm

pa5/14 - take the peel off a veggie + one-letter spelling not me but -

7:19 pm

Cybernan - it is PA5.14 - a golf score + the 2nd, and then the last vowel - ther are so many pa's maybe it just seems out of oredr

7:19 pm

no - that is the third pa in the list -- pa 5/12 -- I'm looking for pa 5/14

7:19 pm

(just like my spelling1)

7:19 pm

not me but -

7:20 pm

sa5/12 tree sa* + this one ** that one

7:20 pm

pa5/12 is pa* + the 2nd and 4th vowel.

7:20 pm

lol, lynxxx

7:20 pm

worth 3 points, therfore making a 5/14

7:20 pm

(I mean worth 2 points)

7:20 pm

No cybernan - uses the LAST vowel

7:20 pm

pa5/14 is the same, but with a different vowel at the end.

7:21 pm

AEIO-

7:21 pm

my apologies, folks, and thank you for sticking with me -- had the wrong vowel!

7:21 pm

haha...it's okay. we've all been there and will be there again soon!

sa 5/12 = gooey stuff from maple trees & either **
