Hey mrP! *hugs*

hello Angb and Jilli too!

1:10 am

Hi MRP - nice grid but keep away from the a words LOL

1:10 am

Hello, MrP!

hello jai!!!

1:10 am

I am starting to realise that d4 K is not going away all by itself... 5 words... at least not 13 like yesterday...

1:11 am

I use the word "prana" almost every day because I am a healer- why isn't it a word????

1:11 am

jai, it is a word. It's just that stupid enable. Doesn't know karma either, if I remember well.

1:12 am

jai I reckon who ever compiled enable fell asleep during the process at cricial times.

1:12 am

well, and we all know about "internet"....

1:12 am

*critical

1:12 am

doesn't like blog either

1:12 am

internet and online, true! Well, isn't it great to feel superior to a dictionary every day? ;)

1:13 am

Absolutely....but frustraing as all heck....

1:13 am

And... (all stand by to cheer) sprite found 5 Ks without any help!

1:13 am

You are such a diplomat sprite

1:13 am

*frustrating

1:13 am

LOL Angb!

1:14 am

Now how do you spell the Scottish jumpers - it's not here either.

1:15 am

The "k's" are a bit crazy tonight...and wasn't one of them in yesterday's puzzle?

1:15 am

Yes ... need all the help I can get kai. Don't complain

1:15 am

*sits here pouting because nobody cheers*

kh's.... genghis kh** and plural... the first kh4 and 5 are like genghis but end with a F and the last kh is a variant for chi

1:16 am

"The kh** was pronounced married by the priest, so he turned and gave his bride a kh**" - pun by Jai that is a clue...LOL

1:16 am

mrP, that is almost spelling it out! You usually never do that!

1:16 am

Sorry sprite but I did not see your post. Hip hip hurray ... all mighty sprite ... we kneel at your feet and worship you

so sorry there!!

1:17 am

*feels much better already* ;)

1:17 am

jai, I love that punclue!

1:18 am

Ty, ty, ty <bows> LOL

1:19 am

The kh** had a cold, and with it a kh**- in fact, many kh***- more punning...

1:20 am

Lordie - I accidently found the 10 by myself ... off to get another glass of wine to celebrate... or should I cook dinner?

1:21 am

wow Angb!

1:21 am

Nah ... another couple of words maybe.

1:21 am

WTG< ang! Have another wine!

1:21 am

Giggle @**##^*

wine!!

1:22 am

Oooh - and a 9 - this wine is working wonders - thanks for the advice everyone

1:22 am

Stop whining and pour that wine...

**passes the glass**

1:23 am

When those little fish that come in jars rushed around, can you say they he 7/36?

1:24 am

<groan>

1:24 am

If it walks like a d4, talks like a d4, looks like a d4... it probably is a fish.

LOL!!

1:24 am

LOLOL!

1:24 am

*giggle jai*

1:25 am

Haven't got the he so missed the joke LOL

1:25 am

it's all that "wine".....

1:26 am

just saw you got the k's, sprite - jolly good

1:26 am

Yeah, I am proud like a monkey with two private parts ;)

1:27 am

The he starts like a fish that comes in a white sauce in jars or is pickled, and ends in the past tense....so thus the joke....

1:27 am

ROFL, Sprite.....

1:28 am

I was punching that away but I took you quite literally

Wow, a first, a transsexual monkey?

1:29 am

Thus s/he can go scr** him/herself???? (Oh, that is awful!!!)

1:30 am

You guys are even worse than I!

1:31 am

My mind is in the gutter tonight...

1:33 am

Everyone must be hiding in the grid, it is so quiet......

1:33 am

off to have breakfast with my friend, back later. Have fun :)

1:33 am

Bye-bye, Sprite!

ok, cause I hate RE words... here it is V shape and plural, advise, bring down in size, attach or suspend and plural, workinto a new form and bring forth again, engage in service and past tense, to word it differently again, to anew the string and past tense, to get old and leave word and past tense.... there endeth the RE's!

1:35 am

TY< MrP!

1:38 am

jai I was looking for a suitable Kiwi retort for Sprite's comment ... but she has gone.

1:39 am

Oh goodie - dinner is ready. Wonder what it is ... my partner doesn't like dirtying more than one implement and he had sausages out. A worry ... see you latter.

1:40 am

I couldn't think of one, either....

1:40 am

Bye-bye,Angb!

1:41 am

3:14 am

Aw, sorry Atalante.

3:15 am

it was an inevitability - he was brain damaged at birth, we were always just trying to give him as good a life as possible until he did something dumb!

at least he had a nice life with you ata!!

3:16 am

he had a wonderful time!

3:16 am

And I am sure he had the best with you!

ok, UNO!!!

3:17 am

ooh, watching the news right now, our favorite volcano is active again, just had an eruption.

3:18 am

he was a funny little thing, he used to collect everything he could find and drag them back to his basket and sit on them so Hobbit couldn't get them. And I mean *anything* - he once sat on an empty Tupperware container for hours, it must have been so uncomfortable!

3:18 am

that's so cute ata!

3:19 am

It sounds like he was a real treat.

3:19 am

goooo mrp!

3:19 am

a real treat and a real pain in the backside :P

3:21 am

and utterly utterly adorable!

3:21 am

lol, Atalante. One of those pleasant kinds of pain in the backside :)

3:22 am

yeah ... he never got the hang properly of toilet training, and couldn't remember his name half the time, but he just *looked* at you with those big eyes and you forgot all that!

*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

9:14 am

fu 7/52 please

9:16 am

ha 7/36?

9:16 am

ha7/36 = to be in a rush, bothered, past tense.

9:16 am

fu 7/52: sounds like the "F" word + bad deed

9:17 am

ha 7/36 -- very worried and rushing

9:17 am

magzel - fu7/52 sounds like a ru4/6 word (but is not spelled quite the same)+transgession.

9:17 am

got that one charm...do you have the first one?

9:17 am

fa752 = sounds like high couture, present partiple of the fa4/8 before it.

9:18 am

BTW, I'm not really here; I'm preparing the quacking fowl (du4/11) for roasting.

9:19 am

Cauz, I hav ha 7/40, ha 7/36 and ha 7/44 and ha 7/40

9:20 am

what does transgression mean?

9:20 am

thanks, i got the fu

9:20 am

I cooked one once Jac, it was a complete failure

9:20 am

theres a ha 7/36 that comes before an 8/50

9:21 am

aah, that's the one I don't have either!

9:21 am

do you have the ha 5/14?

9:21 am

Seven deadly ---, Kthdsn

9:21 am

Wyrd - did you prick it all over with a skewer, rub plent of salt into the skin & roast it on a high trivet? If not, it would have been fatty.

9:22 am

i did none of that, and it was awful, fatty, gamey, im sure i did nothing right

9:22 am

ty arb

9:22 am

Oh dear, Wyrd. Maybe you can try again sometime & do what I just said.

9:23 am

perhaps i will, i have a great roasting thingie that would work, cone shaped, you put it IN the bird and sit it up

9:23 am

si6/24, need em on a railway to tell the trains if they can go or not

9:24 am

Wyrd - that sounds ideal.

9:29 am

Oh dear! There's a little boy outside my window getting a right ear-bashing from 4 little girls. I feel quite sorry for him!

9:30 am

(would you care to wager that he deserves it?)

9:31 am

ch7/40, you've overcooked something and it's all burnt and black, gotta brush up on your cooking skills then ;)

9:32 am

Charm - Something to do with him knowing the rules of the game but not sticking to them, from what I gathered.:(

9:32 am

drop one of the r's from that ch and you have a ch6.

9:32 am

my favourite word today - sn5/18...

9:32 am

Jac = sounds like he was being a boy.

9:33 am

Charm - yes. All good practice for when he's a man!:)

9:33 am

ahh yeh, Charm, like something you sit on, I had the present tense of the word, but didn't see it going the otherway, ty

9:33 am

Well, I still nag my husband. but it has no effect on them. In one ear and....

9:34 am

Charm - a woman never na4/6, she simply comments.

may i have a clue for the ha7/8 please? ty!

9:35 am

Probably, Jac. But I nag. just ask hubby.

9:36 am

TO, I have 3 ha7's but no 7/8 combo. sorry

ty charm

ha7/8: a wicker receptacle for documents and plural

sounds like where you put your sdirty clothes

9:40 am

thanks, TO!

prababl;y both derived fromt he same source, don't you think?

9:43 am

more help with the wicker receptacle, don't know what that is, please

9:43 am

once is a comment. twice.......

9:44 am

probably, TO. linguistics can be fun.

9:44 am

magzel - a basket for picnic things or for dirty laundry.

9:44 am

BJ, thrice and 4x and so on and so forth ....

hi jacs! i am stuck on a little four letter hi word : (

9:45 am

But, magzel - the ha7 & 8 are: ha + one who imitates, than plural for the 8.

9:45 am

twice is positive reinforcement...?

9:45 am

Hi TO.

9:45 am

hi4/5 = not hers + (odd/unexpected) consonant.

got to go - see you later! bye all!

9:46 am

sherb, after 10 years, he no longer hears my voice.

9:46 am

like the drug you take for nasal congecstion, without the anti....

9:46 am

bye, TO, thanks....

9:47 am

ha6/27, ha7/40, somewhere to store aircraft

9:47 am

ha740 = capt. Ha*****s, Poirot's friend.

9:48 am

Well, I'm down to 90 to find. I'd better to and stab that du4/11 & prepare some vegs to go with it. BBL. Happy Babbling!

9:48 am

thanks for the ha clues, i never heard of that word

9:48 am

9:50 am

ohh, can't have Duran, half the 80s band

9:50 am

9:51 am

thanks charm, got it

9:52 am

herd

9:52 am

sorry

9:53 am

11:17 am

cnan are you talking about all 6/27's???

12:00 pm

has tribble ever been in the grid?

12:00 pm

hmm, i don't recall

12:01 pm

Not since I've been playing....

12:01 pm

if it ever is, we must petition DrG to allow it

12:01 pm

12:01 pm

But there's that Troublew with tribbles...they multiply.....

"Prana" is in the grid- since I am a healer, I use that word almost every day.....but it's not in Enable...bad name......

12:03 pm

a stent is a thing they put in your artery or something, why wouldn't it be let in?

12:03 pm

we'll beam 'em over to the Klingon ship, where they'll be no tribble at all!

12:03 pm

Oh, that's awful, hurshy!

12:09 pm

12:23 pm

Afternoon, all. If it makes you feel any better, Hurshy. My cat laughed.

12:23 pm

12:24 pm

jai used a WOOOORD

12:24 pm

Jai, I was jumping to conclusions: Mardi Gras!!!

12:24 pm

with marty, it's more of an ironic thing, for in reality, he is the most domesticated, gentle animal on the face of the earth.

12:24 pm

hi babblers

12:25 pm

any clures for the first an? I can't get it!

12:25 pm

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

ok, retract, they ACT like they have never seen a booby or a girl bleed when they say TMI

12:32 pm

or perhaps, they merely feel that they have been given information which they did not wish to possess

12:33 pm

this is a very interesting conversation....

12:33 pm

the world is full of that...I wish not to possess images of war or violence so I look away

12:34 pm

body images are....pleasant to some, whereas violence is horrd

12:34 pm

*horrid

12:34 pm

I wrote a poem about that, April. It was from a pic in the paper of a soldier carrying away an Iraqi wounded child....

12:34 pm

ok..im having a blind moment here...i cant see the 2nd ce4..any help?

12:35 pm

wow lots of long ch's in this one

12:35 pm

but, if we are aware of war and violence, we might be able to take action to stop it. whereas if i know details about your sexual habits, it benefits me none.

12:35 pm

There is only one ce4

12:35 pm

darn, I wonder why you can't get that, rolin?

12:35 pm

*sigh*...that would explain it..thx

12:37 pm

enough said hurshy, there are those who can't tolerate innuendo of any kind and those who can. note taken

12:37 pm

*That was a clue for the second ce, rolin, I didn't see the 4......sorry....maybe you can use the clue....

12:37 pm

i enjoy quite a bit of innuendo myself... ask torgone...

12:37 pm

any clues for the first and second ch 6?

12:38 pm

past tense of ch4/6; the othe has double consonats+ pl.

12:38 pm

I like pie

12:38 pm

mmmm pie

12:39 pm

first ch6 adds the beginning of President Nixon's to the preceding ch4

12:41 pm

Brain lapse on my part- forget those clues I just gave, they were for the wrong words.....I was up waaaaay too late last night finishing this puzzle.......

12:41 pm

12:49 pm

1:05 pm

*cough cough*

1:06 pm

oops.....<blushing>

cheech, mayhap?

1:06 pm

its a flower as well

1:07 pm

like i know flowers

1:07 pm

a character in Gormenghast books?

1:07 pm

and a bright dark pink

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

fuschia

1:08 pm

fu+ a dipthong+ something to be forgiven for....

1:08 pm

thats the one!

1:08 pm

atalante i would have classe it as a purple myself

1:08 pm

so i am assuming i leave out the s... oh no i MOVE the s

1:08 pm

see i knew it was the color from jai's clue but i didn't know what to do with it.

1:09 pm

are there any other fu's? (nothing personal intended there...)

1:09 pm

NO!!

1:10 pm

now i just need one more seven and all the biggies will be done

1:14 pm

have that :)

1:14 pm

lol

1:14 pm

i have been monkeying for quite some time now, hehe

1:14 pm

yes, there is a word down the right-hand side of the grid....

1:15 pm

Spock's teacher? Or was it his fiancee? Can't remember.....

1:15 pm

And yes, I know it is properly T"Pal

1:15 pm

no, she's in "enterprise". spock's fiancee was t'pring.

1:16 pm

His teacher- who said he wasn't ready....From the movie....

1:17 pm

you mean the high priestess?

1:17 pm

wait, which movie?

1:17 pm

Yes

1:17 pm

The first one....

1:18 pm

oh the FIRST one

1:18 pm

good golly i don't think they even gave her a name

1:18 pm

they did ...

1:19 pm

T'Lar was the high priestess at the end of 3. T'Pau was the one who was going to marry spock to T'Pring

1:19 pm

i'll look it up

1:19 pm

first ha7/36?

1:19 pm

I am thinking of T"pau- just didn't get the spelling right....

1:20 pm

but I can't remember what

1:20 pm

T'pau who had a pop group named after her

1:20 pm

but T'Pau was in amok time, not the motion picture

1:21 pm

ha+ short sleep+ "er"

1:21 pm

ty

1:21 pm

for the motion picture, there are three vulcan masters listed on IMDB, but they are just called vulcan masters, no names are given.

1:22 pm

would someone please clue sh7/44??

1:22 pm

yw! Well, wasn't it the same lady, the High Priestess, in the movie as was in that episode?

1:22 pm

nope

1:23 pm

sounds just like ch 7/48

1:23 pm

ahh, ty Jai

1:23 pm

t'pau from the episode reminds one of t'lar in III, but they are not the same - t'lar was played by dame judith anderson - i guess she's famous?

1:24 pm

might get to fireworks, still 32 words though

1:24 pm

I guess all those priestesses look alike to me!

1:24 pm

Go, Colhad!

1:25 pm

celia lovsky played t'pau, the only female master listed for the motion picture was played by edna glover

1:25 pm

understandable, jai :)

1:26 pm

I am thinking that we are supposed to assume that she is the same priestess as from that episode....the Vulcans live long and prosper....

1:27 pm

i don't think so or they would call her T'Pau in the credits...

1:27 pm

You are right...<sigh>

oh dear! poor haz!

1:28 pm

aw haz!

1:29 pm

all start the same, with gn4/6- the 7 doubles the consonant and is past tense; the six doubles and plurals; the 5 drops an "r' and plurals the 4/6

1:30 pm

Haz, hang in there! Use the list! There is no shame in that!

Thanks for all the great clues, Haz! Perhaps one day I may return the favor.

1:38 pm

earlier Charm gave this description for ha7/36 and ha8/50, ha7 = rattan basket. *sounds* like where you put dirty clothes, but with an extra vowel. Ha* Solo + one who mimics (monkeys) another. HA8 is pl.

1:38 pm

I don't quite get it, could someone give another clue please??

ha + the back of the neck ....adding a "more of" consonant for ha 7/36

1:41 pm

ha7/36 ha + a little sleep + emergency room and then plural

1:42 pm

Frances and Purl, I'd buy you two a beer, ty :)

good morning everyone. is it just me? I am so excited I just got the an4.6 - and I am using the list! I am really struggling

1:45 pm

Oh, man, "snarf" is TOO a word! You should just see my brother snarfing pancakes!

1:45 pm

Deehar where are you? I'm stuck.

1:46 pm

snarph

1:47 pm

Well, if you spell it that way you'd be able to get snarphed and snarpher. But it's definitely with an f. ;)

1:49 pm

(I guess no one else here snarfs anything. Not even chocolate, apparently. Hmm. I must come from a particularly voracious family.)

1:49 pm

my dog snarfs everything

1:50 pm

:)

O snarf whatever is not nailed down!

anyone have a clue for an 5/14?

1:50 pm

i may have heard this word before but it is one of those words that once you hear it you think you heard it. like how a really good song is one that sounds like a classic the first time it is played.

1:51 pm

an5/14 german anxiety

1:52 pm

Well, it's a good word, Enable notwithstanding. So go out and use it. Spread it, share it, do it.

oi vey! thanx ursh!

1:59 pm

Hello, Stidmama.

2:00 pm

hi Stid

2:00 pm

I think the difficulty is determined not so much by the total number of words as by the number of 7-letter words. 30 is a lot.

2:01 pm

hadn't even looked at the stats yet, LOL!

2:01 pm

hi lynxxx.

2:01 pm

Vi, the icon is (as usual) great!

In my case, it is not the grid that is intellectually challenged; alas, it is me!

Hi, again- I heard about the earthquake in Hawaii- my sister lives there- was staying at a motel, preparing to fly to Austin, when it struck. She was on the 27th floor, and they took the stairs down- and said that no one was on the stairs but them...the power went out as they reached the sixth floor... people were trappped in the elevators- she is stuck in the Hotel lobby, and there will be no way to get off the island and back to Maui where she lives for a while...Jai, news reporter here....

April - if you really are worried about the ranking on here and don't want to get knocked down by not finishing a puzzle, you can join as a non-pro and put your words in that way, then save your words to Word or Notepad on your desktop.

10:07 pm

i do it in excel

10:07 pm

I just realized my 1 year anniversary with Babble was October 11th!!!

10:07 pm

excel works fine too

10:08 pm

at the top of her page under sites mama

10:08 pm

Jacula, I am not sure what you mean

10:08 pm

mamabear, where does it show when you first started playing babble

10:08 pm

I haven't got a non-pro alter ego on here... yet. (But I might, if the huge grids continue!). I rely on my paper and pen, indeed prefer to do the grid that way most days anyway at first to avoid seeing clues before I need them.

10:09 pm

evening all

april - there's a link on lickety's page for themes, too

10:09 pm

in your bio, scatty

10:09 pm

hey ya sheryl

10:09 pm

stuck on the re 6/27 first one I think can someone pls clue me

10:09 pm

hey ren

10:09 pm

Finally got the last one. Thanks for the help. If I didn't acknowledge everyone, its because I was interrupted at home by work issues. Thanks for the help. If I can help anyone else with clues, just ask.

10:09 pm

how goes it

10:09 pm

Jacula, what does non-pro or pro have to do with anything but having tiles on the bottom and having to pay?

10:09 pm

April - what I am saying is, type your found words into a Word or Notepad document and save it on your Desktop.

10:10 pm

well, off to the bear cave for me.... nite nite all!!!! ((((((bear hugs for all))))))))

10:10 pm

the first re 6 27 means to get smaller

10:10 pm

ahh ok Jacula, that would be wise!

10:10 pm

1st re 6/27 - to lose weight

10:10 pm

gnight Mama

10:10 pm

Bye mamabear--thanks for some great laughs. It was worth returning to the game late tonight.

10:10 pm

niters mama

nite momma

10:11 pm

happy anniversary mama !!!

10:11 pm

scrabbler you're back!

10:11 pm

is the thrid letter of that 6 the same as the 7 and the 9?.

10:11 pm

April - pro and not finishing a grid means you might go down in the rankings and been seen to do so. Non-pro means the same (unless your non-pro profile keeps a low profile). That's it as I see it but not as I do it.

10:11 pm

U + priceless

10:24 pm

There are four pa7's. The first sounds like the pianist Murray Pe***** but spelled with a e.

10:24 pm

The re10 id easy Sheryl - If you say something that sounds rude or embarrassing, you say, 'Let me rep***** that!' When you do so, you are rep*******.

10:25 pm

*thinking about pida's clue*

10:25 pm

the secon pa is the past tense of a fencing term meaning to deflect a blow.

10:26 pm

ir 5 please?

10:26 pm

the third is like Kirk's weapon the Ph***er but with the ending that implies continuous action. A common ending in this puzzle especially for long words.

10:27 pm

Pida, you finally got me there, thanks! I hd the longer version, with the leading consonant, but I didn't know this was a word.

10:27 pm

pa 7 36 one who walks in a procession, like the mardi gras

10:27 pm

how about a clue for sa 6 pls

10:27 pm

the 6/24 that is

10:28 pm

the last has to do with grammatical evaluation of a sentence. Think of the root vegetable the pa**nip and add that ending that implies continuing action.

10:28 pm

glad you got it ankh

10:28 pm

awesome, thanks. I'm only have difficulty with the murray perahia one

10:29 pm

ir 5 please anyone?

10:29 pm

Actually there a five pa7's. pida gave you a clue for that one.

10:29 pm

sa 6 sounds like what you hang your clothes on, but change the last vowel to the 1st vowel

10:30 pm

got pida ty

10:30 pm

sa6/24 rhymes with airplane Ha*****. a place to keep planes.

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

10:41 pm

Jac, what are you missing? Six, still?

10:42 pm

no shoes, no brain, no service

10:42 pm

Jacula, shorten the 6/24, make it have one less constanant

10:42 pm

jacula do you have the 5/14 between the 6/24 and the 7/44

10:42 pm

scatty - yes I do. Blimey - you're as much as a night owl as I am, woman!

Hup, got 'em! Txs, goofball.

10:54 pm

i do have that one nan, that was the one I had

10:54 pm

Ankh - it would seem that most dog breeds, which are proper names and therefore capitalised, are not allowed - exception is corgi.

10:55 pm

I think poodle is allowed also.

10:55 pm

four 8's: ep, ha, pa, ph

10:56 pm

Thanks, Jac, booo. Probably shepherd is okay too.

10:57 pm

True, Ankh. german is allowed, as is shepherd - but not together, I think.

10:57 pm

Nan, I'm missing ha8 and pa8

10:57 pm

there is one "proper" name in this grid, but it is also a pastry, so allowed

10:57 pm

saw that one, nan.

10:57 pm

I clued them all ankh -- scroll down

10:59 pm

Nan, I failed at those clues. :(

11:01 pm

Okay, TeaNCrackers, I'll get a chair ready for you.

11:02 pm

laundry, diapers, hand, mime... hmmm.

11:08 pm

Uneax, Jilli had to leave, maybe you can email her

11:10 pm

thanks, Ankh

11:11 pm

I think I have a lighter and less time-consuming recipe fr that somewhere in my handwritten archives.

11:12 pm

thanks, jac, because I have a recipe for one like that but have NEVER made it - it uses syrup too and holes in the lemon - sounds so good!

11:12 pm

OKAY I am STUPID, but two sets of ha8 clues haven't gotten me anywhere near it!

11:12 pm

hey, thanks, une!

11:12 pm

jilli - the time-conmsuming recipe with syrup is good - in moderation.

11:13 pm

holy cow i did it

11:13 pm

11:13 pm

YAY Sheryl!

11:13 pm

Stuck on ga 6/27, after the parsley. Clues?

11:15 pm

Ank--ha + a little siesta in the afternoon + hospital emergency room

11:15 pm

Ankh - ha8 is the plural of the ha7/36 before it. Try this: the thing on the end of your arm minus its last letter + one who imitates another, The 8/50 is the plural of that. Sorrym but those imitators just keep mmonkeying around!

11:15 pm

(Clue!)

11:16 pm

OH!!! Thanks, Une! Nan, *those* diapers, oh, duh, my U.S. ears couldn't hear you.

11:16 pm

11:17 pm

congrats, sheryl!!

11:17 pm

Ankh - did you get my clue or not?

11:18 pm

Oh, I got it, Jac, but I think I got it cuz Une's clue finally put me on right track. I'm *dense* tonight.

11:18 pm

Okay. Well done anyway, Ankh.

11:20 pm

i don't know if any of you heard about our earthquake

11:20 pm

FranMag, are you OK??

11:20 pm

Clueing folks from across the pond has to be undertaken with more thought than clueing those on this side and beyond. I hope you lot over there, also take as much care when clueing us over here.

11:21 pm

an5/14 anyone?

11:21 pm

your earthquake was THE news all day long!

11:21 pm

Fran! Are you okay? Guess you must be if you're here.

11:21 pm

Fran, everyone worried; Jilli logged on just to see if you were alright.

11:21 pm

11:22 pm

just irritating because no power until three

11:22 pm

Jac, I try to remember all the Brit usages I know when cluing that-a-way, but tht's not very many!

11:22 pm

how appropriate jac!

11:22 pm

thanks

11:22 pm

Mooch, a kind of closet mothproof

(Starts like the word for cross or annoyed and then adds a street or a saint shortly.

11:24 pm

any clue for re10?

11:24 pm

I have that one, it is the last ce right? I need the first three

11:24 pm

11:24 pm

11:25 pm

jac, brain dead i think, which is the word for cross?

hug - saying it again in a different way

11:25 pm

fran, it's a brit word

11:25 pm

11:47 pm

*moving the cat so she's not stuck under the purple sheets*

11:47 pm

sorry, faded out for a bit. I didn't write much this last week, Min -- the kids had half days so my time and energy were limited. I am glad to be here this evening...

11:47 pm

Beds should not be made until at least half an hour after the last occupant has left them, Bed should be aired because we all lose a minimum of half a pint of sweat and other liquids into the bedding each night.

11:48 pm

the first sh6/24?

11:48 pm

eeewwww

11:48 pm

OK, Jac, that makes my bed sound a lot less welcoming.

11:48 pm

une, one who shelters you from the sun

11:48 pm

LOL pdb.

11:48 pm

"one who" makes the sh 5/14 Une

11:48 pm

*making mental note of Jac's bed info*

we don't make beds daily - what a waste, especially since they are only empty about 6 hours a day, not contiguous

11:49 pm

thanks, got it!

11:49 pm

why is it the bed is more inviting when it's made? *scratching head*

I don't even want to think about "other liquids" - thanks jac

11:50 pm

that grid was actually okay, most of the ones i missed were the "ier" ending, totally overlooked it.

11:50 pm

in my house "other liquids" is drool! my kids are just as bad as their dad.

11:51 pm

Desperately adding ier to all my previous words now!

11:51 pm

ar+lower leg

u - not well done

11:52 pm

11:52 pm

as6/27, cigarrette residuing

11:52 pm

Sweat, drool and other liquids we don't need to discussl Just turn your top bedding right back when the bed is empty and leave it to air for 30 mins or more.

11:52 pm
