12:21 am

I need to come up for a breath of air

12:22 am

I can't see the ge 12 to save my life

12:22 am

It is a fast grid, if that is any consolation. Passed the 100 mark in less than half an hour.

12:22 am

Sam: Co12. Builds on a Ge8/50

12:22 am

i passed 24 in less than a 1/2 hour

go debb!

12:23 am

Ooooooohhhhhhhh. Well, that's *kind of* a real word . . . thank you

12:23 am

The other 10 is Ga10/84. If a famous fashion label was made mineral, it would be called this.

12:24 am

<i>What?!?!</i>

12:25 am

It's too early for more than cryptic clues, I think ;)

12:25 am

Never too early.

12:25 am

Never too late

12:25 am

i have my icon

12:25 am

That wasn't even a clue, that was a non sequitor!

12:26 am

gets

12:26 am

sorry again

12:26 am

That was a riddle from LotR, wasn't it?

12:26 am

i reserve the right to change my icon if i find something that tickles me fancy

12:26 am

Can I get a clue for any of the zo

12:26 am

Is that good or bad, Sam?

12:26 am

omg...that was a fabulous clue sprite ttvm. i can die happy yet again

12:26 am

One of the really nasty ones that wassisname tried to trick Frodo with?

12:27 am

oh no - there goes ramix again ! we want you to stay !!

12:27 am

wont die till i get that A6 though

12:28 am

LOL! It could easily have been from LotR indeed. Ramix, keep breathing and I will drop an occasion clue ;)

12:28 am

oh...my...Grid...

12:28 am

*adding to A6 clue: the clue is a song...*

12:29 am

Oh dear. First Lickety's package. Now Ho7/32. *goes for another cold shower)

12:29 am

***frantically trying to get the ho7***

12:30 am

wooohhhh!!!!!, got the ge10/84!!!

12:30 am

WTG Colhad!

12:31 am

I just realized that I've entered the ho 7 without bothering to enter the ho 4 it's built from. That's a danger with the big grids . . .

12:31 am

And don't forget the ho5 there... ;)

12:31 am

oh ha

12:32 am

Indeed. Thank you.

12:32 am

heh

12:32 am

no not clues...just got the ho and it made me giggle

12:33 am

I had something similar. There is this other sequence of ho: Ho4/5, 5/12, 6/21, 7/32.

hi all - woohoo! only have 5 words so far, including the co12!!!

12:35 am

sprite did u find the ho 6/27?

12:35 am

Hi all newcomers whom I missed entering! Ata *hug* you will LOVE this grid. Some great, great words!

12:56 am

I'm only 118 in but I'm intimidated and my ISP is being bratty. I think I'm out of here for the time being.

12:56 am

I'm only 118 in but I'm intimidated and my ISP is being bratty. I think I'm out of here for the time being. Good night y'all.

carrie bradshaw

1:01 am

tinies should be allowed!

1:02 am

i agree atalante - i've tried it 3 times already

1:02 am

change last letter, Ata.

1:02 am

I'll come up with it eventually -- I'm sure the clues are wonderful, but I seldom watch TV and I have been using the same shampoo for the last 30 years and don't pay attention to anything else!

1:02 am

I've tried it too!

1:02 am

A8/40: my behind when the day is done

1:03 am

good morning - what a grid! i started putting in words before i realised and now i see there is a 12 letter word!!

thnx sprite

1:03 am

MVA, it is one of the best grids ever.

1:04 am

lol sprite...you are so good at the cryptic clues. you make them so easy!!!

1:04 am

ramix, I think your mind and mine work somewhat the same :)

1:05 am

lol...i'll take that as a compliment

1:05 am

LOL!

1:05 am

just got back from ER - sprite, have you got the 12-letter word?

1:06 am

Sure jilli!

1:06 am

thought you would have!

1:07 am

I am going faster than ever. It is such a rewarding grid!

1:08 am

whizzing right along, eh sprite! Not me

1:08 am

phantom - cognoscenti

1:09 am

dang. thought i got the a6/21. no such luck. got the a6/18 instead

1:17 am

hi sapph

oh, and hi everyone. heard the magnificent Cleveland Orchestra tonight w/the kids - then stayed up late while my son did homework.. it was worth it.

1:17 am

hi melon. Sprite thinks it's a goody

1:17 am

eras

1:18 am

hi there melon

1:18 am

oops!

1:18 am

hi sapph

1:18 am

hi arb - guess I missed your arrival

1:18 am

hi MVA too

1:18 am

hi melon - sounds like a great evening

1:18 am

Been here for a while -- hitting a wall at 139

1:19 am

hi jill, got to go now, happy babbing all. will be back later

hi debb & arb. ARB, did i tell you about hearing the Israel Phil here in Cleveland a year or two ago - I was sobbing into my coat sleeve they were so wonderful.

ge10, wots the others stats?

1:20 am

hitting the wall at 129

1:21 am

Melon, we have had a subscripion for over 30 years. In Dec there will be a special series for their 70th anniversary. Every one, but every good musician will be here. It's to die for. Enjoyed their 50th and their 60th anniversaries.

oooooh, wish i could be there! unfortunately i get to have all the fun (hysterectomy)

1:23 am

My sympathies. I will enjoy it double for you

1:24 am

oh dear, melon! When is this happening?

1:24 am

oh melon, my spympathies too

got the 12!

1:25 am

good for you, getting the 12! I'm still trying

in december - preventative. my daughter will be staying with me. from all i hear, i should not make any big plans for about 6 weeks after. lots of time to babble, eh?

if you got one of the 10s youcan get the 12, believe me.

1:26 am

melon i did it a while ago. 6 weeks was good. my mom went back to work in 3. good luck to you

1:26 am

((((((((melon))))))))))

1:27 am

slug of vision words again

1:27 am

no 10s here yet - just the a8. I'm no good at big words

1:28 am

hai jillibus whats that thing flying in your icon?

1:28 am

just don't eat any beans or cabbage for a while after, melon!

1:28 am

or broccoli!

1:28 am

Click on the icon, manjari

1:29 am

whoooo got the longest top 3 words...friends

thank you cybernan, i learned thatafter my c section - also cabbage and its rellies make nursing babies very very very unhappy ;)

1:29 am

good for you, manjari!

1:30 am

jilibus, i think she means your pic is a clue for a 10 letter word

1:30 am

yes i clicked jill ... is that of ur interest in some way...

1:30 am

mebbe not...kinda looks like one though

1:31 am

don't know what you mean, manjari - it was yesterday's theme - flight.

1:31 am

oh no ramix...i was just checking all icons... and was wonderin what would have made jilli choose that plane?

1:31 am

the explanation is in the profile

1:32 am

got my icon on theme .... long may she re 5/14 :)

1:32 am

jilibus, kinda looks like a power turbine...which is a clue

nan - i am really looking forward to seeing helen mirren do her! going this weekend

1:32 am

oh ok ...just curious to know jilli...by the way did u get the two 10 letter words...maybe i can clue you...

1:33 am

cybernan, i just got back from the balloon fiesta, saw lots of balloons. awesome sight.

1:33 am

ramix that was a good clue...

1:33 am

no, haven't got the 10s, and turbines don't turn me on! Guess I'm just too sleepy at this hour

1:34 am

yes, I think it should be good, helen --- I wonder how Her Majesty feels about it?!

nan - i bet she's keeping a stiff upper lip - lol

1:35 am

good clue/icon, nan, and I'd like to see the helen mirren version too. Bet it's great!

1:36 am

hit a wall at 210. maybe i shd call it a night and continue tomorrow

1:38 am

interestingly, Helen Mirren says that during the filming she grew to love the Queen. Says it all :P

ata - what's that? not all brits love the queen??

1:40 am

not the anti-royalty brigade!

ata - is that a large brigade, or a smallish one?

although the word 'brigade' might lead me to believe it's rather large

1:41 am

hmmmm good question. I'd *guess* something like 60% like her 40% don't - or don't like the royal family, I should say. I think everyone's admiration for QE2 is firmly in place

i remember my mom talking about the queen mum & the loyalty & respect she gained by staying in london during the ww II bombings

1:43 am

someone please kick me out of here.

i guess things change over the years cause the daughter has always seemed a mere shadow of her mum

1:44 am

past half way -- time for bed or I'll never make my 9:00 am tee time! :)

good nite nan - GOOD NITE RAMIX !!!

1:44 am

everyone loved the queen mum, absolutely! she and the queen I think have the respect of people for the work they do and the way they conduct themselves, even if people don't like the overall idea of the royal family. But Diana totally screwed absolute love for the Queen

1:45 am

I found the co12!!!!

1:45 am

neener neener...still here helen

ata - interesting the way you put it - i always was under the impression that it was diana that got screwed by the queen - but i just know that from tv & mags

ramix - can't say i didn't try :)

1:46 am

I think Elizabeth has mellowed considerably over the last few years -- becoming more like her mom all the time (not such a big spendthrift, though). She has had a lot to contend with and all in the public eye. Think she deserves our admiration --- let's face it, as personable as she was, Diana did not behave like a royal.

1:46 am

ramix - I didn't mean to spurn your ofer of hints for the 10s - just want to try and find them but not doing well at it! Maybe in the morning...!

1:47 am

co12/135 and ge10/84, combined total of 219 points for two words

1:47 am

I think it depends what you believe. I think Di put the Queen in an impossible position, but that the Queen contributed to making Diana into the woman she was to demand that impossible position - if that makes sense!

1:47 am

jillibus...last clue...think the new dance craze...dance g/10

1:48 am

I think people like Wills too, and get a kick out of Harry --- ???

uh ata - yeah, that's the ticket, what you said, lol

1:49 am

thanks, ramix, I'll try to think of the latest dance craze -- I'm somewhat out of touch there, though!

the thing with 'royalty' is that circumstances are such that unless you are trained since birth, to act a certain way, chances are pretty good you'll never fit that mold

1:50 am

oh jillibus...i can't leave till you get it!

thDah manjari!

1:50 am

everyone likes William. I think people either like Harry for his liveliness, or dislike him for his liveliness!

1:50 am

ramix - you'll be up all night and you asked us to kick you outta here!

1:51 am

the royals have a hard life, can't go anywhere or do anything without getting on camera, no privacy

i must go - planning a 16 mile bike ride tom'w. that's what i'll miss after hyster - it will take a while to build up my stamina. that's part of why i'm doing it in the winter.

col - i guess that's a matter of perspective - i don't think those are 'hard' lives at all, quite the opposite, in fact, the vast majority of people on the planet have it much, much harder - besides there's always the option of renouncing your title

stumped by the ga 10 - will i hit myself with a fish if i ask????

1:53 am

have a great ride, melon - hope the weather will cooperate

1:53 am

ok i really need to go...it's almost midnight and i havent had dinner yet! and i have work tomorrow morning too!

tx jilli

melon - i had my hip replacement last winter & that was a good call - by the time spring rolls around you'll be well back in the swing of things to enjoy yourself

1:54 am

melon, brand name of shampoo made into a mineral

no fish melon - you want it

hip, hip - replacement! (sorry)

LOL

1:55 am

oh there we are again with the shampoo nan and I haven't heard of!

1:55 am

I don't think you can renounce your position if you have a strong inbuilt sense of duty ... they have a very very privileged life, but also a very hard one

thanks - i light fish-slap!

Hi FMitch!

2:33 am

Colhad do you play bfor points rather than words?

2:34 am

nope, just poiting out the fact

2:34 am

won't do it anymore :)

2:35 am

Hey np was just wondering as everyone has a dif way of approaching the game

2:36 am

well, I spose I like the points side of it, but also good if I can get as many worda as possible, hopefully all of them

2:36 am

Also, it's a rather high point value for one word isn't it? One of the highest I've ever seen

2:37 am

I don't thnk I remember seeing a 12 letter word before!

2:37 am

Come to think of it, neither have I. ha ha

2:40 am

jilli - congrats on your ic4 I was trying to do one along those lines but failed.

2:45 am

thanks FMitch - google images did it

2:47 am

2:47 am

Good one, jillibus

2:48 am

2:48 am

co5/12, when you get lost in the bush, you sing it out and hopefully someone will hear you

2:49 am

Now I only have to find 4 9s, 14 8s and 38 7s, plus assorted smaller ones. What a hope, when tomorrow will be taken up with other matters!

2:49 am

Oh good, colhad - that's my favourite aussie word - my mother used it a lot!

2:50 am

Thanks for the clues from your icon, FMitch

2:50 am

Same here jilli, grid is way too big for me today but it's always fun to chat inbetween woring.

2:51 am

I agree - I don't care about points - it's the words and the clever clues and the community I enjoy

2:51 am

yw Biltong was going to go for the stinging h6/21 but like this one as it clues 2 words.

2:51 am

6:01 am

Ahhh that's right.

6:06 am

any clues for the long words?

6:07 am

There are lots further back in the log, just scroll back.

6:07 am

cheers haz i knew there was a word there somewere

6:09 am

I was surprised when the go5/24 was accepted - I didn't know that it was a real word!

6:10 am

Yeh, well you try everything don't you with this game Haz! LOL

6:10 am

I am just monkeying away here and got a sa 5/10 and 6/18 I didn

6:11 am

It just makes me wonder what other subtle educational hints I missed in Sesame Street!

6:11 am

The poison(s)?

6:12 am

Now you mention it - they probably are - a few decades ago there was something about Japan rail station ... you mean the words were hidden in my mind LOL

6:13 am

Yes - there's more lurking there than you imagine!

6:13 am

Scary! Do I want it dredged up?

6:13 am

For babble purposes, yes.....

6:15 am

BTW Haz remembered you ic 4/5 clue! Again scary

6:15 am

Have you extended the beginning to get a flowery decoration? co7/40

6:16 am

That's nice thanks.

6:17 am

You're welcome.

6:19 am

Well the 5 of the z's are hiding from me

6:19 am

Only 4 of mine are.

6:20 am

If you have the first zo4/9, the next two zo5 are plurals, one of which is latin plural.

6:20 am

zo6 - girl's name, followed by American intelligence agency initials

6:20 am

I have a 4/9 but don't know if it's the 1st...I don't think so

6:21 am

zocia

6:21 am

zo4/10 - add almost frozen water. (the first zo4/9 is girl's name plus a vowel)

6:22 am

zo7/52 - collection of animals (three letters), vowel, then the afore-mentioned American intelligence agency.

6:22 am

zo5/9 the last one, rhymes with what controls the tides.

6:22 am

Sorry zo4/9 - the last one.

6:23 am

Cheers Haz brilliant clueing

6:23 am

You're welcome!

6:24 am

Past midnight here and my eyes are crossing. Off to bed ... and thanks for the clues.

6:24 am

Good night - sleep well!

6:25 am

OK..I have 4/9, 6/36, 4/10, 7/52, and 4/9. Missing 2

6:25 am

any help with the ga10

6:26 am

You're missing the two plurals for the first zo4/9 - normal and latin.

6:26 am

Excellent...Thanks a million Haz

6:29 am

ga10 - begins with bouquet ga*** (a collection of herbs), add another vowel and then a ceremony to finish.

6:29 am

You're welcome chiley.

6:30 am

You are quite amazing Haz ! TY.

6:30 am

thank you, got it, haz

6:31 am

hi, angel

7:26 am

hi Angel

7:27 am

I need a vote: Should I go forward in creating a Babblets page for the resource guide? One player says it's too much help; others say it's a good idea. What say you, Yea or nay?

7:29 am

I vote YEA....no one has to look at it if they don't want to

7:30 am

esp since I plan to put it on a separate page....

7:30 am

good morning. Angelsong, if the page requires a click to go there, then those who don't wish to use it don't have to ... and those who need/want it, will.

7:30 am

I vote yea

7:30 am

yes~~!!!!

7:30 am

angel, please go ahead with the babblet page

7:31 am

it will most assuredly require a cllick to access, ch1212

7:31 am

yes please for a babblet page

7:32 am

a lone no here, I think too much help

yes here too ( :

7:32 am

I agree with Andree.

7:33 am

I won't use it, but I don't mind if it's there for others

7:33 am

I will need player input to build the babblets list. please post yours on BA under General/Wanted: Your Babblets.

7:33 am

Thanks, angelsong!

7:33 am

no one will be forced to look at it if they wish not to do so.

7:34 am

hi angel

7:35 am

Do it Angel - and let the user choose to use it or not

7:36 am

agree saph

7:37 am

the user choice has always been part of the resource guide, so that part is a given.

9:10 am

pida - Wow - we should be together ;l-)

9:10 am

That is what I do ExWren!! it is a good way to start the day on babble.... in my opinion

9:11 am

LOL and I always start at the top left

9:12 am

I always start findig whatever I can and then going to Licketdy's list and starts with the a's

mrp - yes, yes it's the beer that makes it go left

9:12 am

anything that jumps out at me is where I start

Karys - do you need clues sorted in random order?

lalalalalalalalalala *covers ears and eyes* lalalalalalala

9:13 am

I usually put in any words that jump out at me, like my icon,or if somebody clues a hard one, I'll put it in

9:14 am

And I always check the icons, of Fridays

Monkey Typing for me - If I'm bothered. I don't have the patience - Hats of to you all!

9:14 am

no lickety...I am happy the way I do it thank you

9:14 am

monkey typing is always a good thing :)

9:15 am

I have loads of patience at the beginning of the grid-always on the lookout for clues and then I just prauy

9:15 am

*pray

9:15 am

yes...a fair bit of monkey typing often leads to something I've overlooked

9:16 am

It is fun when you are monkey typing and you find a word with 6 letters

9:16 am

I do love Haz's clues !!!

9:16 am

(And she doesn't get paid to say that!)

9:16 am

Yes, Haz gives the greatest and most creative clues, Jacula also

we might be looking for 306 words, but we enter 8,623 words in order to get it!

9:17 am

mr p, you are so right

9:17 am

Thank you!

9:18 am

LOL....Jac's too....I think my mind must work in a similar way ( but not quite as well or as quickly !)

9:18 am

The worst thing is if you clue a word, thinking you've done well, and then getting a 'Huh?'

that would be an awesome if not insulting addition to the clues page.... how many words you had to enter in order to find the right words!! LOL

Oh Haz, that happens to me all the time!!

9:20 am

You don't know whether to go back to the drawing board, or give up!

9:20 am

those oo's are killers :)

9:20 am

Hello Scrabbler. Welcome back.

11:37 am

I will.though its been a long time since i have been invited up the montain with hubby !!

11:38 am

magzel, don't have it yet, fixated on the ho7

11:38 am

Hi, Scrabbler, and all else who arrived while I was eating lunch!

11:38 am

hi Scrabbler! how's the weather back there today? It turned foggy here, but should clear up in another hour or so.

11:38 am

Hi Scrabbler

11:38 am

Which ar words are you looking for, magzel?

11:38 am

We have had a major snowstorm and the county is under a state of emergency! 2-3 ft of snow. Downed trees, no power--but north of me--affecting my parents and other family.

11:38 am

Got 3 grey boxes but a zillion words to go yet!

11:39 am

ar 5/12, the first one, ar7/28 and 8/40

11:39 am

WOW scrabbler it seems so early for snow

11:39 am

oh man! I was hoping it hadn't hit you... Michigan had some, and Tom's sister (we talked to her last night) near Chicago says they had a little bit yesterday. Hope your folks will be okay.

11:39 am

I have to shop soon and stock up on food. I may have people camping here for a few days IF the roads are opened up. There is a driving ban for now.

11:39 am

Sorry, magzel - don't have them yet.

11:39 am

cait - I've examined those prickly shrubs a lot closer than I wanted on more than one occasion... we used to sledge down a valley of it nearby and I'd sometimes use one as a 'brake'. Ouch!

11:40 am

No snow here . . .

11:40 am

I cannot reach anybody by phone recently. I spoke to my father at about 6 AM.

11:40 am

thanks for looking haz

11:40 am

No way, torgone--you escaped this?

11:41 am

Just lucky I guess ..

11:41 am

torgone lives in San Diego, Scrabbler...

11:41 am

If I find them, I'll let you know, magzel - just filling in my list at the minute.

11:41 am

silly boy!

11:41 am

I was so bummed when I couldn't get on line earlier.

11:41 am

...20 words toi go....

11:41 am

Yes, I checked torgone's bio and he is practically at the equator

11:42 am

I have all the AR but the 7 and 8... start with a general location (ar 4/4) then latin and english plurals...

11:42 am

go Angelsong go!

11:42 am

I bet, Scrabbler. I suffer withdrawal if I can't at least chat a little...

11:42 am

A 12 letter word!!!

11:42 am

GO Angel!!!

11:43 am

do you have board games and candles just in case?

11:43 am

the 12 is a co-prefix to a 10-letter ge word...

11:43 am

99 left. Need to get dinner going. BBL.

11:44 am

Bye Jacula

11:44 am

got the AR 7: builds of the Spanish word for "sand" or a sports building

11:44 am

later Jacula

11:45 am

and the AR 8 has the same ending as the AR 7: sort of a "rock" or "crystal" suffix

11:45 am

Yes, lots of games, many jigsaw puzzles, non-battery dependent flashlights, lots of books....I am fine here--sunny and beautiful, but it is a disaster up north and the Natl Guard has been called.

11:45 am

and that's it for the A list!

11:46 am

Will send good energy to those in the snow, seems strange to have it this early after all the warm weather you've been having.

11:46 am

ar 5/12 = ar+second vowel+third vowel+ consonant

11:46 am

Oh, the governor is on the radio now--declaring state funds available for votes, I mean aid

11:47 am

I can't believe you were already hit with a big snowstorm, Scrabbler. :( I'm not fond of the shoveling and miserable driving conditions. Never look forward to winter.

11:47 am

LOL SCrabbler! getting cynical in your old age?

11:48 am

Of course, Stid. I know the patterns of behavior of politicians

11:48 am

Scrabbler do you normally have snow this early in the year?

11:49 am

whew -- a's are done

11:49 am

I used to work for our state Secretary of State. He was okay, but the legislators gave me the willies! (glad I don't work any more)

11:49 am

No, this is unusually early. I live in ski country (south of Buffalo) so we are used to this in Nov .

11:49 am

sry--the smaller grids, < 150-180 words are more manageable, at least for me. The really small ones leave me wanting more--addictions do that.

4:03 pm

re6/18 = re + make a salary? and pl - not sure if it's the first.

4:28 pm

one is a latin pl one is regular

duh, thanx

4:30 pm

charm. can i have the clue for the g4/6 inside of io7

4:31 pm

charm meant you should cut the last vowel off before you added it for the io7

4:31 pm

oh. ok

4:32 pm

hursh, the g4/6 is not the DNA one....

4:32 pm

ok thnx

4:32 pm

but if you use the dna one, drop the final vowel. yes.

4:32 pm

ok

4:32 pm

co5/16 before the shell please

4:33 pm

well, at any rate, you can't add a g4 and get the singular, you'd be getting the pl.

4:33 pm

co+alt pig

4:33 pm

co5/16 = co + stop s*** (hexagon at the street corner).

4:33 pm

yay and yay!

4:33 pm

true, hursh. sorry for the mix-up.

4:34 pm

i am 90% done now!

4:38 pm

i just monkeyed it too

4:39 pm

sorry pabtrek - I was struggling with what to say.

4:39 pm

that 10 second rule came into play

What is the 10 second rule? Is it lethal? Contagious? Flummoxing?

4:41 pm

stuck on my last two - zo6 & zo7. can anyone help?

4:41 pm

inevitably, 10 seconds after you ask for help, you find the word you were looking for, so the clues everybody gives are kinda wasted....

4:41 pm

that you should wait 10 s before cluing cause someone might pull a peri

4:41 pm

sorry, Chris. not yet.

4:42 pm

you want it to be contagious purloined

4:42 pm

zo6 = girls name and US agency - both 3 letters

4:42 pm

and the 7 is an alt sp

4:43 pm

and just add an extra round letter to that one

4:43 pm

zo7 = where animals are kept * 2nd v + US agency again

4:46 pm

ch7 = ch + vowel + r4//6.

4:46 pm

4:46 pm

for the ch8 add a consonant at the end.

4:46 pm

ge7 = relating to dna, an adjective.

4:47 pm

4:56 pm

aladdin rubbed the lamp and out came a ge5

4:56 pm

oo + magic men in a lamp that has to be rubbed

4:56 pm

:-) Thanks again Charm

5:41 pm

mkl is definately not "more wise"

5:41 pm

I can't find the heather one, even with Google.

5:41 pm

Scrabbler, see the Mr. Ed clue below.

ar7/28?

5:42 pm

Scrabbler - go5 is not a heather. It's other name is 'furze' or sometimes 'whin'. It's a prickly shrub with yellow flowers.

5:42 pm

Ok. gotta go. Actually, the dog wants to 'go'. commune with the grass. It seems to be dire. Now, he'll go out there, tinkle a bit and want to sit and watch the butterflies. sigh. have fun babbling and see y'all tomorrow.

5:43 pm

'Bye Charm. See you tomorrow.

5:43 pm

Thanks, Jac, for setting me straight. we get confused over here....

5:43 pm

Oh, then I already had it, but I am trying to make the go7...and I found it. TY

5:43 pm

LOL Charm. y/w ;)

5:44 pm

Bye Charm--TY for clues!

5:45 pm

So if go5 is not heather, then what is the heather clue?

5:46 pm

Scrabbler - I think Charm just got her plants mixed up.

5:47 pm

Oh, that explains my confusion too.

5:48 pm

5:48 pm

5:49 pm

Charm merely repeated the "heather" clue that was initially given early this morning.

5:49 pm

oo9 or oo8, jekasica?

5:49 pm

oo + ge7 (field of studying DNA)

5:50 pm

oo + ge5 (Aladdin got one from a magic lamp)

5:50 pm

Purloined - Oh well. These things happen.

5:50 pm

jekasica-please ask for help if you are searching for a while--somebody will help

5:51 pm

Jekasica - oo8/50 = oo + more than one of what's in my picture.

5:51 pm

SORY SORY SORRY Meant the ti6,18

5:52 pm

ci6 - plural of ci5 (one who quotes something for an example)

5:53 pm

5:53 pm

I don't have ti6,18 yet. ar7 = ar * (verb to be) + short version of eveing time

6:33 pm

I'm back. I disappeared for a while after my son arrived home and told me a fox ran into the back garden as he pulled onto the drive. I went out, put my hand on a slug that was on top of the picket gate (euch!) and then nearly tripped over a hedgeho*. Didn't see foxy but Hunting Cat did his usual trick of leaping out of the bushes & grabbing my ankle as I went to go back down the steps. (I'll swear he giggles as he does that!)

6:34 pm

That's a great story Jac!

6:35 pm

Finished the 'c's' at last. Thank goodness! 23 words to go.

6:35 pm

he he he! only in Britain

6:35 pm

I'd give anything to have hedgehogs in my garden.

6:35 pm

Yay Inge and Tea! Funny story, Jacula.

6:35 pm

firefly - Since I have a wildlife friendly garden I suppose I must expect to find wildlife in it. LOL.

6:36 pm

Go Jacula go!!

6:36 pm

There was a sparrow hawk on the gate when I got home from the shops yesterday.

Inge - Well, I'm glad we don't still have wolves & bears. I'd be more cautious about wandering around the garden at night if we did!

6:39 pm

Oh, good--keep them protected from the foxes! My bunnies thump when they hear outside critters. That is how I know the deer are passing through, or when the raccons are causing trouble.

6:39 pm

Well done, Merk!

6:39 pm

Congrats Merk !

I finished a few hours ago. It got a little tiresome towards the end!

7:02 pm

inge - i thought i recognized your icon, almost changed mine to similar thing when i came across the go5/24, used it once before

7:02 pm

it's a bit tiresome toward the beginning, i can only imgine the end!

7:02 pm

Well done on finishing, Haz.

7:03 pm

You're almost there, Jacula - regird your loins...

7:03 pm

7:03 pm

Congrats Haz! gradually whittling mine down but lots of breaks

7:03 pm

Good job Haz. And Jac, you are close!

7:03 pm

Does your husband know, Jacula?

7:05 pm

I think thats just about right as well scrabbler! stop when it gets tiresome!

haz - jac ??? is that some weird brit thing?

7:06 pm

What's weird about regirding your loins? I thought everyone did it.

7:06 pm

Hell - laughing too much to answer. I'll let Haz do it.

LOL - can't say i ever have - not with my knowing about it anyway

7:07 pm

How exactly do you regird your loins? I really want to know.

7:07 pm

Oh, you'd know if you had your loins regirded.

7:07 pm

Does it hurt?

lol scrabbler - sounds intriguing, doesn't it?

7:07 pm

wouldn't it be an knights in armour thing - and thats why americans don't know it?

7:07 pm

ROFLOL here

7:08 pm

Well, I have had pelvic exams-- a privilege if being a woman

7:12 pm

Hvae just turned the piece of paper over that I was writing my words onto & see on the back of it was the last nasty grid (295 words).

7:12 pm

Hi everybody, I had 54 left when I went out, and still have 54 left. Where are the gremlins when you really need them?

7:12 pm

Oh man, more loin clues

7:12 pm

I have to give in gracefully. I have managed 176 words, but there is no point in struggling any further, there is no way I can manage another 130 words in the time I have left. Well done Jacula

7:13 pm

and nan, ne7 is ne + when your joints hurt you are arth*****

7:13 pm

wrong ho 7: slang for more sexually desirous

7:13 pm

Good work, ExWren! 176 is noble with this grid.

7:13 pm

Never mind ExWren - you did your best and hopefully enjoyed it, or at least some of it.

wren - don't give up - jacula can help you, she is specially girded now!

7:13 pm

Hi all, thought I might have another go at this grid (even though it's 1am and I can barely see it)

7:14 pm

Incidentally - girding your loins is a bit like tucking your dress into your knicker legs to paddle. You draw up & tie your lower garment inbetween your legs to increase your agility & mobility.

7:14 pm

LOL helen

7:14 pm

Oh, in the US we call it giving yourself a wedgie.

where the hell are my knicker legs now?!?!?!?!

7:14 pm

It's kind of like getting ready for business.

7:14 pm

fireworks!

LOL scrabbs!

7:14 pm

It is bedtime for us Brits, it's tomorrow already

7:15 pm

Well done, ExWren. Sleep well.x

7:19 pm

Byeeeee!

7:20 pm

speaking of z words --- I have yet to understand why some suffixes are accepted as words and others aren't!

7:20 pm

8:02 pm

Speaking of which, Sheryl. 3 of the re words have to do with the eye. (As do 2 of the co words.)

8:02 pm

bodkinz - That's because it is a proper noun - Norse.

ty jac

looking now for those

8:03 pm

a norse is a norse of course of course

8:03 pm

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

re5/10 - what one does if one raises children. Or more than one backside.:)

8:13 pm

ditto

8:14 pm

YAY Charm! hi again all

8:14 pm

8:16 pm

re4/4 & plural 5 - equine (ho5/12) controllers.

8:16 pm

No one can drive down here because of the driving ban-

8:16 pm

what's happened?

all the re's done

8:17 pm

Dorens - how are you doing with the re's now?

8:17 pm

Scrabbler - you're snowed in, aren't you?

8:17 pm

Great Sheryl! (But I'm missing bunches before the eye words, so am hoping Jacula continues a bit!)

8:18 pm

need 16 more...have been doodling around back at the e's where I'm at, but looking at your r's while they're there thanks

8:18 pm

ge5.14 pls - after the plural ge in a lamp

8:18 pm

We are in a state of disaster here

you giving the clues for the re's jac?

8:18 pm

re4/4 - re + very short word that means 'exist'.

holy where are you scrabbler

8:18 pm

Sheryl - I am.

8:18 pm

scrabbler are you in Buffalo

8:19 pm

sad to say I just grayed out my first two boxes....so far to go

8:19 pm

Western New York--clobbered with a snowstorm-2 ft of heavy snow, no power...but I live 35 miles southeast and it is fine here.

8:19 pm

re4/4 - re + British breakfast drink with last vowel knocked off.

oh no, when buffalo gets dumped on it usally comes this way

8:20 pm

re6/18 & verb form 7/28 - to rip again.

8:20 pm

But you are north Sheryl

yup but the way the winds are or something seems like if buffalo gets dumped on Barrie gets it too

8:21 pm

pyros, hello everyone. what a grueling grid!

8:21 pm

Scrabbler, my parents live in Niagara Falls, Canada, and they said that this afternoon, the snow had already left. Just 20 miles away in Buffalo, they were snowed under!

8:21 pm

YAY lbd! (hi)

8:21 pm

re6/18 & plural 7/28 - true definition is: a crystalline hydrocarbon, C18H18, obtained chiefly from the tar of resinous woods and certain fossil resins. Sounds kind of like being 13-19 again.

i am going away tomorrow with 9 of my girlfriends up to a couple of cottages

8:21 pm

Hi lbd.

8:21 pm

hello ibd

8:22 pm

I have talked with my sister and cousin and friends, by cell phone, but I can no longer reach my parents as they lost their lanline

8:22 pm

HI Stid lol at your icon today it's perfect!

8:22 pm

*landline

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

8:22 pm

re5/10 is like the re5/10 (to rope up again) that follows it, diff. vowel ending though.

8:22 pm

oh, I hope your folks are okay, Scrabbler -- your uncle says "hi" I was just on the phone with them.

8:23 pm

ch 7 and 8, please

8:23 pm

retie

8:23 pm

lynx, another way to plural double vowel not es

8:23 pm

not sure I am going to finish this one...

8:23 pm

arghhhhhhh!

8:23 pm

re6/18, after the rope up again word, is part of the eye. re7/28 is same thing with a Latin plural ending. re7/28 after that is the normal plural ending.

what the heck is the first sa 6/24 can't get it

8:24 pm

TY ibd!

8:24 pm

re6/18 & verb form 7/28 - to re-prong a fork.

8:25 pm

8:25 pm

natasha, it's a really weird word. do your ch**es+first vowel 7th letter, 3rd vowel

8:25 pm

8:26 pm

and this is different, bodkinz?

8:26 pm

No wood stove and no fireplace

8:27 pm

natasha and Lena, the ch8 add 3rd letter in alphabet to the end

8:27 pm

no slept well night before.. only 2 beers.. but Mr. Brain .. he no workey too well

8:27 pm

Nat - do you have the ta6/24 (that sounds like plural Indian stripey ginger cats)? If so, change 1st letter.

8:28 pm

Sorry! My last clue was for Sheryl, not Nat.

8:28 pm

thanks jac...i havve all RE's now...not all r's, but will, in time...back to the H's now.

thanks!

8:32 pm

bod - you're not the first to have typed words in the chatlog today (or indeed any day) and you won't be the last. We all do it at one time or another!

8:32 pm

Une - its like the thing you use in the car - st******* wheel - but change the second vowel and drop the g

the first one ib, got it

8:32 pm

thanks, lynxxx!

8:32 pm

Unea, st7 like the wheel inside the car that guides you st*****g, 8 bulds off that with a vowel at the end and the 9 makes it more than one

8:33 pm

well forst time i've done it ever.. so i guess i feel a little more guilty.. oh well

8:33 pm

Accidentally typing a word in because cursor not moved or in chatting is fine. It's the deliberate posting of words by sad individuals who occasionally invade like trolls under a bridge that is annoying.

8:33 pm

its the co's that are horrible today. I am missing about thirteen words between the salmon and the raco**.

8:34 pm

that would be very annoying.. never seen that myself YET! touches wood!

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

It does happen, bod. Usually towards the end of a school holiday, or when a teacher puts her class onto this site or at weekends.

8:35 pm

Dorens, Gretels brother

8:35 pm

When the trolls or the silly kids invade, just turn off the chatlog. Click on Who's Online or My Friends instead.

8:37 pm

Would you like to help me get some go words? Maybe just get me started somehow, please?

8:37 pm

dude?! why so offensively offensive? people make mistakes and that doesnt mean they are a child or a troll!

8:37 pm
