hi vedaman

12:20 am

ch8x2

12:20 am

Erma Bombeck wrote a book with ch8 in the title.

sl 8 if not said already

12:20 am

Hello, all. What do we know about the ten so far?

12:20 am

what do they mean that cheerios isn't a word? i'm eathing them right now

12:21 am

ch8x2

12:21 am

hey jilli!

12:21 am

i don'nt know squat about the 10.

12:21 am

does anyone have more than 4 8s?

12:21 am

only 3 8's here so far, vedaman

12:21 am

cherrier ought to be a word

12:21 am

i have 3 8's

12:22 am

cherrier is close to 2 of the 8 words... need to change one consonant for each

12:22 am

ha...thanks marpocky

12:22 am

I have ch8x2, fe8, sl8.

12:22 am

yep, the chs i have. thanks though

12:22 am

You are kidding me. I have not found a ch word yet and now you tell me there are two that have eight letters in them.

12:23 am

Evening all - is this a competition to see how many e and r tiles you can fit in a grid? LOL

12:23 am

got the fe8. thanks veda

12:23 am

or8

12:24 am

yes but if you use cherrier you ony need to chnge a consonant for each one.

12:24 am

I found the fruit. Thank you.

12:24 am

phantom - fertilize

12:24 am

LORD I HAVE TO PEE

12:24 am

12:27 am

fe 10/91

12:27 am

I'm still looking for the second ch 8. My internet connection is sooooo bad ... due to a cable break off Taiwan, I hear.

ok is that 10 iron-related?

12:27 am

I want a word ending in 'izles'. Is that possible?

12:27 am

AHHHH. What sweet relief =)

12:28 am

has anyone used Z in a word?

er8

12:28 am

well, it sounds like it is iron related, but it is not really

12:29 am

it is actually something you find in churches (well, really old churches I would think)

12:30 am

does the 10 start with F? I missed that if anyone said it

12:30 am

yes, it starts with F

12:31 am

what does it rhyme with? LOL

12:31 am

drB, see my icon :D

12:32 am

cryptic clue: it sounds like transporting lots of British loyalists across a river

12:33 am

aha! thanks DRB!

12:33 am

yay - ty drb!

12:33 am

got it. thanks! that's a fun word

12:34 am

sigh. that helped me now

12:34 am

thank you, Dr B!

12:34 am

i mean it helped me NOT

12:34 am

and I was wrong, it does not have 3es and 3rs (1 short on the rs)

12:34 am

I'm with you kierlex - these clues are leaving me clueless :)

12:35 am

chic - cool icon!

12:35 am

it is a receptical for holding the relics of a saint if that helps, which I can't believe it would

got it! : )

12:35 am

Yayyy -- Seb just came home!!!

12:35 am

It doesn't

12:35 am

tx, helen.!

12:35 am

and the only letters on the border are the first and the last ones

gw, where was he?

12:35 am

buckled under & gave him the car keys already ? ! ? !

12:35 am

Thanks DrB - good cryptic

12:36 am

what's the diagnosis, coulf?

12:36 am

He was at the ER being checked out due to not keeping his food down today, TO

12:36 am

yw

12:36 am

It turns out it was just a bout of gastroenteritis

oh poor little guy..

12:37 am

hope he starts feeling better grey

12:37 am

poor little guy -- did they give you something to soothe his tum?

12:37 am

ooooh, glad he's okay

12:37 am

ooh, I grayed a letter!

12:37 am

But the Dr expressed to Kirsten his gratitude that we were so attentive to Seb and his needs that we brought him in BEFORE he became dehydrated

12:37 am

thank you DrB -- took me a while, but your various clues shoved me along

12:37 am

well that is good news GreyWoulf... glad it's nothing serious. my son had an intestinal blockage last year. what a mess =)

12:38 am

anything I can do to help

12:38 am

I think I have SOMEof the 10 but can't figure out the last bit

12:38 am

DR -- your second clue about the receptacle helped....I googled it and found the word!

jili think lands

12:39 am

there are many roads that lead to the fe 10/91

12:39 am

perhaps in the northwest...

dumb question... how do you google a definition?

12:40 am

jilli -- they really didn't have anything they could give him, but they did give us some pedialyte -- but at least we have confirmed that there was nothing more serious going on

12:40 am

just type in the definition and see what comes up

ty vm didn't know I could do that!!!

12:41 am

I type sentneces from student papers to see if they are plagarizing and google works great for that (but not in a good way)

yipppeee learned something new & found the word ty dr!

12:41 am

I have 5 8's ch X2, fe, or, sl. Does anyone have another?

12:41 am

I use that trick as well, DrB. Caught some last term, too.

dr. b what do you teach?

12:42 am

Classical Greek & Roman Mythology and Introduction to Popular Culture

12:42 am

oh for godsakes i can't even find it with google. boooo hooo

and good god - if a sentenc is used it's not plagiarizing if you cite the source is it?

12:43 am

not if you site the source

12:43 am

but students like to cut and paste things without attribution

actually kier, dr b told us all the word while you weere on potty break

12:43 am

cite and site?

12:43 am

bummer..

12:43 am

the history of popular culture in the 20th century was my first college class - 300 seat auditorium, packed & he started off with a cartoon of the 3 little pigs from the 1930's!!!

i am beginning a paper and it's on my mind

X D kier

12:43 am

i thought - wow if this is college, this is cool!! LOL

12:44 am

when in doubt, give a citation!! =)

how many words today?

12:44 am

my students do not have to use additional sources so when things come up that are not in the readings I know to go loking

12:44 am

148

ah.........

12:44 am

X D??

ty

12:44 am

140 (misstroked)

oh, splendid

laughing hard kier

12:45 am

but it really was one of the best classes i ever took, he had everything so professional timed, great audio/video stuff - which was a feat way back then

12:45 am

ahhh... sorry. i am bit out of it tnite. as usual!

sounds cool, helen...

12:48 am

to - yep, fond memories, i think everyone in the entire school took that course - i've seen that prof (macdonald) on pbs shows here too

12:48 am

the 10 is a compound word (i.e., it breaks into two other words in the grid)

ok - off to bed with 59 for tomorrow. happy babbling everyone!

12:48 am

still can't find the reliquary in google

12:48 am

good nite TO

night temple

12:49 am

ok what does the 2nd compound word of the 10 word staqrt with?

12:49 am

i got to 101 with alot of monkeying

12:49 am

going to bed too

12:49 am

Bye TO

12:49 am

wow helen, that's amazing

12:49 am

good nite everyone :)

helen love the icon. when my dad was here over christmas, he watched that show marathon!

12:49 am

Bye Helen

12:49 am

good night helen

12:49 am

nite helen...

12:50 am

night helen

12:50 am

TO -- look at flosey's icon

12:50 am

giving up on the 10 -- all I can think of for the clue is reliquary

12:50 am

g'night to those that are leaving

12:50 am

i am so confused about this dang 10!! what is a british loyalist???

12:50 am

no flosey - not at all amazing - there are word racers out there that can find that many words in a grid this size in under 2 minutes (well, on easier grids than this one)

12:51 am

yes, helen, but they are freaks.

12:51 am

a person on tangleword with a super high rating said the other night that they type 130 words per minute

12:51 am

I'm assuming it is a United Empire Loyalist, but that isn't getting me anywhere!

12:51 am

British loyalist during the American Revolution or a conservative Brit today

12:51 am

LOL kier - yes, i agree, total freaks!

12:52 am

finally got the 10

12:52 am

forget the Brit loyalist - that's questionable - go for the reliquary and pluralise

who was it helen?

12:52 am

yes, that's what I thought, DrB -- not what nan said because hers is a Canadian term

12:52 am

Or Conservative (capital C) in Canada

12:53 am

As in Sir John A

12:53 am

i don't remember, i don't pay that much attention, but their ranking was in the high 3000's

12:53 am

I'm not sure how universal the term is today in terms of usage, and I immediate thought of boats going back and forth across the Charles River during the Revolution (but that is just me)

12:53 am

BBL falling asleep

12:53 am

There were the Whigs and the **********

12:53 am

why mitch? was it you? :)

oh i will pay for this - fell asleep in front of tv now not sleepy

no, i don't type 130 wpm

lol

12:54 am

i don't type period, that's why i'll never get over 2000, hah

12:54 am

LOL, Temple -- I do the same -- will fall asleep at the keyboard or on the couch, then when I decide to move to the bed, the act of moving wakes me up!

12:55 am

Is the beginning of the 10 the kind of thing we ride on fro get from Vancouver to Vancouver Island?

lol, haven't played in a while - should go show mr 130wpm how to play :P

phantom - rhetoric

12:55 am

yes, jilli, but without a double cons

12:55 am

Yes jilli minus one R then add Sir John A plural

yes but i have big project and need to go in early to have it on boss's desk

12:55 am

well, more accurately sorta, not yes

12:56 am

AGHGHGHGH

12:56 am

This grid sucks

12:57 am

havent played this in ages

12:57 am

i'll give you a cyber dollar if you email me the answer

12:57 am

and i forgot the link hah

12:57 am

boy am I being dense -- hae tried so many combos for the 10 but no luck so far -- understood the clue but can't make it work!

12:57 am

does the 10 end with 's'

12:58 am

yeS

12:58 am

yes, kier

12:58 am

ah -- finally! Trouble is, I'm a good speller

12:58 am

good, because I was not going to go to bed until you did

12:58 am

Kier and jilli fe+**+conservatives

12:59 am

not that you'd know it from the typos I produce

12:59 am

awww, DrB! And did you look at my icon?

1:00 am

Yes, GMTA

1:00 am

I'm definitely having hostile feeelings about this grid!

1:00 am

GMTA?

1:00 am

AGHGHGHG I FINALLY GOT IT AGHGHGHGHGHGHG

1:00 am

great minds...

1:00 am

WAY TO GO KIERLEX!!!!!!!!!

3:16 am

hi sprite!

3:16 am

Hi fran

3:16 am

hi spanner!

3:16 am

can there really be 140 words?

3:17 am

spanner, is that a new puppy?

3:17 am

hard to imagine

3:17 am

For an awful moment when I first looked at the grid, I thought it said 640 words. Even 140 seems unlikely!

3:17 am

hi all, what does the 10 start with please

3:17 am

Hi Fran

3:17 am

hi haz!

3:17 am

hi karys!

3:18 am

3:19 am

Big dogs now. I had them weighed at the vets last week. Blue is 6 stone of pure muscle and pudding is 5 stone!

3:20 am

probably still just as sweet though!

yay i got an 8

3:21 am

sorry oggy, not ignoring you, just started and don't have the list so i don't know what the 10 starts with.

3:21 am

3:22 am

They loved the attention it got them I think....

hi kanga cute icon

hi oboe

3:23 am

i'm hoping a good dinner will help me with the last 40 words.

3:23 am

Hi kanga

3:23 am

thanks garyandjulie'

3:23 am

that is a good thing to know, kanga, that there actually are a 100 words in this grid!

3:24 am

kanga - you mean you found a 100 words. With this grid thats impressive.....

3:24 am

some of them are a little esoteric

3:24 am

and i had a lot of help

3:24 am

and 'some' and 'a little' are used to not discourage us, I think?

3:25 am

if i got them... oops off to kiss the kids goodnight

3:27 am

Well I have to go..the ancient one calls, best of luck with the grid folks

3:27 am

i'm a bit stuck

3:27 am

bye spanner!

3:27 am

bye spanner

3:27 am

Bye spanner.

3:28 am

good luck spanner - still hosting the pita :(

got to go folks bbl

3:28 am

bye jules

3:28 am

off to dinner

3:28 am

yeah, found another 8 at last.

3:28 am

enjoy, oboe

3:28 am

Yup...thats the last time i invite someone for the weekend...LOL

3:28 am

bye julie

3:29 am

is she any better behaving towards you now, spanner?

3:30 am

The new tablets have helped to be honest...at least shes stopped spitting at me LOL

3:30 am

good grief!

3:30 am

LOL spanner!

3:30 am

argh! LOL, sounds like a big improvement!

3:31 am

It is, and I have now had her diagnosed properly, so at least i know what im dealing with

3:31 am

I think you have the most loving heart to take care of her anyway. It is not easy.

3:32 am

I agree with sprite.

3:32 am

No sprite not at all. I am a martyr and my lovely hubby buys me yummy pressies for being one. LOL

3:32 am

that is good! He should appreciate what you are doing every minute :D

3:33 am

He has to I give him little choice

3:33 am

good!

3:34 am

I have also called a family meeting for 28 Jan in a conference room at a hotel, so that we can sort out long term care as I think that i am being dumped on a bit...the others never even visit anymore

3:34 am

good for you spanner.

3:35 am

that is such common behaviour. As soon as someone starts taking care, all the rest of the family sighs relieved and goes on with their own lives. That meeting is very good thinking.

3:36 am

Mind you at the last meeting I was told to 'mind my own business' LOl Hubby now says I am no longer an inlaw. I am an outlaw!!!

3:36 am

LOL

3:37 am

Well really must fly. see you all soon I hope bye

morning kate, too many Es and Rs.

4:12 am

Hi everyone.

4:12 am

hi angb!

4:12 am

hey Angb

4:12 am

Hi fran

4:13 am

My revised total is 91. There are 91 words. Hi kth and Angb

4:13 am

hey yoink

4:13 am

I trust kanga. There are 114 words.

4:14 am

I have 112 but some are not words, they are collections of letters.

4:14 am

... 119 ... (running out of puff)

4:14 am

i can personally vouch for 102 so far.

4:15 am

I find it amazing that there are 140 words here!

4:15 am

go kanga!

4:15 am

of course something is wrong when you get to 98 and just then find tr4/4

4:15 am

hi spellit!

4:16 am

thanks for the encouragement fran!

4:16 am

Just updated my icon. Odd wee grid isn't it. Back into it then

4:16 am

Hi all - I have been concentrating hard here

4:16 am

cool angb!

4:17 am

Thought you might like the similarities - Maui and all that Fran

4:18 am

Hi spellit

4:18 am

you know i don't know that whole legend, something i should look up soon though.

4:19 am

does anyone have the E from the left, I can't make it work

4:19 am

hi spellit

4:19 am

all i know is he's called "hawaiian superman"

4:19 am

and wow I just noticed that there's a 10 in there, not sure I believe it though lol

4:19 am

kate: anything E4 I can help you with?

4:19 am

Hi Sprite, Fran and all

4:19 am

Not in NZ ... do you have a Maui legend too?

4:20 am

ty sprite

4:20 am

yes, Maui is a hawaiian legend, a strongman apparently

4:20 am

The 10 is OK if you know your church history

4:21 am

another phantom: heretic

4:22 am

I know nothing about church history lol not really my thing

4:22 am

angb, just looked it up, something about him lassoing the sun and making it go slower across the sky.

4:22 am

kate, i love alice cooper, we listen to his radio show

4:22 am

now there is a guy I could learn to love! He is making days longer?

4:22 am

Gee these Maui's can harness the cosmos - pulling up islands and lassooing the sun

4:23 am

fran I didn't know he had a radio show, I have all his music though

4:23 am

it's gotta be the same Maui

4:24 am

it's a cool show kate, i think they have a website, haven't looked it up yet though.

4:24 am

I thought Alice Cooper would have passed on to the big music hall in the sky by now

4:25 am

no he's still making records and touring angb

4:25 am

LOL how did he survive?

4:26 am

apparently angb, the legends of maui are part of the evidence that the Maoris indeed came from Polynesia.

4:26 am

Kate, he's on Planet Rock over here. You can get it on digital or online probably

4:26 am

angb, i think it's because he golfs

4:26 am

oh cool I'll look it up then

4:27 am

I think my auntie has played golf with him, she also used to live next door to him, although their houses were miles away from each other lol

4:27 am

you know, left the rock star lifestyle for a more sedate existence, golfing, radio show, a few concerts here and there.

4:27 am

Off for coffee - see you later

4:27 am

Probably enough about Maui but one last question. Where do the "scientists" say Hawaiian Polynesians come from ... there is some hint now about China down here

4:28 am

i always thought it was around where malaysia is angb.

4:28 am

later spellit!

4:28 am

So he doesn't fall out of coconut trees like Keith Richards then ... a real headline in NZ last April

4:29 am

lol, i heard it was actually the stump of a tree that he was dancing on.

4:30 am

help with first re6 please

4:30 am

Hmmm was in hospital upwards of a week. Mind you what state would his brain be in?

4:30 am

4:31 am

4:31 am

You're welcome!

4:32 am

Haha ... that's good. Wonder if he

4:32 am

4:42 am

Sprite's babble rule # 12: always try all vowel words you find with all other vowels in the grid.

4:42 am

How goes it, hodog? Over the sniffles?

4:42 am

thanks sprite

4:42 am

now the only tile with no words is the right hand R

4:42 am

i thought that was rule #5 sprite?

4:42 am

yes ty.

4:43 am

#5 is: if you think you see a word but you don't see how you can make it work, just type it in.

4:43 am

clue for the or/8, please?

4:43 am

kate, i think those are the ones that have to do with what's under trees.

4:43 am

oh yes sprite, i use that one ALL the time.

4:44 am

The or is a plural word for an apparatus that plots the motions of planets, etc.

5:37 am

is the partner of Sonny clue the same as the pl fruit or are there 2 ch 8s

5:37 am

Good morning Babblers. It appears that Dr God got a special deal on E's and R's.

5:37 am

or, plus the french infinitive for 'to laugh', but switch the vowels around, then give the plural ending to a word whose singular ending y

5:37 am

There are two ch8 words.

5:38 am

ok, I dont understand the cake layer bit

5:38 am

It's also a word used for seating when arranged on a slope.

5:38 am

thanks haz got them all now

5:39 am

I'm impressed that you got the or word!

5:39 am

got the or word, still no second ch, must be dense

5:40 am

the long er has me stumped

5:40 am

If you've got the first part, rearrange the letters of the word that can to fatigue, or what goes on car wheels.

5:40 am

Eva - it uses the highest scoring tile.

5:41 am

hmmmm

5:41 am

GOTTIT!!!

5:41 am

Well done Levia!

5:42 am

ok, now the 10....please

5:43 am

you are a great cluer haz

5:43 am

or was I combining clues?

5:43 am

thankis Haz!!

5:43 am

fe10 - a combination word. Use the fe4/7 that looks and sounds like a word for being afraid, but spelt differently and to it add British conservative party members. Or the end of a plural vi word meaning triumphs.

5:44 am

I'm not sure,Eva, but glad you've got there!

5:45 am

great clue Haz, got it immediately

5:45 am

That's good Levia.

Well done Andree!

5:57 am

Well done, Andree!

5:58 am

Scrabbler - the knack is to take a deep breath and steady your focus.

5:58 am

I am trying to stare at the T in the middle.

5:58 am

that last word was fun, soon as I asked for clue it jumped up and bit me. lol

5:59 am

Advice that could be given to those attempting to walk while under the influence.... (deep breath, steady focus)

5:59 am

not as hard as it looks scrabbler once you get started

6:00 am

its the large grids that intimidate me

6:00 am

I have 44---I didn't get some of those clues about fe words and iron, but I will ponder them throughout the day. I have to go now and get an early start for the drive in. We have lots and lots of snow!!

6:00 am

Talk about not being able to see the wood for the :-)

6:01 am

bye scrabbler

6:01 am

Drive carefully scrabbler.

6:01 am

6:06 am

oh yey i'm half way through

6:07 am

shame I'm stuck now lol

6:08 am

hello again, back for a clue for fe8/55, please

6:09 am

fe8/55 - plural of fe7/40 relating to iron. The word ends ceremonially.

6:10 am

tx haz, will ponder!

6:10 am

haz, i'm being really thick could you please clue fe 7/40 :-)

6:11 am

I've got 2 x fe7/40.

6:12 am

got it, tx haz!

6:12 am

Now I know I'm being really thick, I have actually got both of them, sorry :-)

6:12 am

fe7/40 can either be plural of the Mersy crosser, or fe, consonant, then a word that sounds like the opposite of wrong, but which means a ceremony

6:12 am

Mersey*

6:13 am

No problem, Katie!

6:13 am

I was thinking of Bryan from Roxy Music but now I'm hearing that Gerry & The Pacemakers song. AARGH! It'll stick in my head all day!

6:14 am

Sorry!

6:14 am

Did the Liverpudlians sing it under the scaffolding?

6:14 am

Haz - I can see you grinning from here.

6:14 am

Haz - LOL. Amazingly, no.

morning, all! (or afternoon, etc)

6:15 am

Yes.....

6:15 am

Morning, Gwen.

6:15 am

Jacula - that would have been the straw that broke the camel's back!

6:15 am

can someone clue the 1st ci5/12, please - I have a mental block!!!!

6:15 am

Good morning Book Docto.

6:15 am

Doctor - what is happening with my fingers??

6:16 am

ci5/12 - ends in a vowel and has a double helping of a consonant in the middle

6:16 am

I've made a model of you, Haz., and I'm sticking pins into the fingers. LOL.

6:17 am

That explains it!

6:17 am

Yup!

6:17 am

Ok the clue I was given early is think cherry in a new zealand accent :-)

6:18 am

tx haz, monkeys are slipping!

6:18 am

An alternative would be, badly spelt Knight, then the beginning of the paddy field produce.

6:18 am

katie - you gave me a ch6/24 with that clue. Thanks.

6:18 am

Actually that's the wrong word that is for the ch 6/24 sorry, but it is quite similar

6:19 am

I really do need to get more sleep ;-)

6:19 am

lol katie, good one!

6:20 am

could I have a clue for the or 8/40 please

so sorry, i don't have asmall furry animule for an icon

6:21 am

Gwen - Theme is 'fishing', as far as I know. That's what my cat's doing.

6:21 am

Katie - I clued it earlier, but used french - do you know french infinitive 'to laugh'?

6:22 am

HAZ, can you clue the or 8 without french please

6:23 am

good morning all

6:23 am

good morning 6a

6:23 am

An alternative or8 clue - or, repeat the consonant. Then two letter initials of American medical drama. Finish with the plural ending of a word ending in y.

6:24 am

got HAZ, thanks

6:25 am

6:26 am

My phantom word today is ch***** (cigar).

6:27 am

65 to go and I've got stuff to do so I'm taking a break, i may be back later

6:27 am

You're welcome Katie - time for the canine to accompany me on a walk. Have a good day all.

6:27 am

HAZ, i looked up the meaning of the or 8 and I would never have figured it out if you had not clued it.

6:27 am

40 left here, Eva. 10 more mins and then I'm taking a break, too.

6:27 am

'Bye Haz. Don't get too muddy (either of you)!

6:28 am

hi all

6:28 am

bye HAZ

6:28 am

giving it another 5 minutes and then stove, fed Merp, strap on Yak trax and take walk. Not muddy here this morning, but icy and seasonably cold(at last!)

6:28 am

hi mousey

6:28 am

Hello mousey.

6:29 am

hi all, wow, isn't this some grid !

6:29 am

cute icon jacula

6:29 am

Eva - are Yak trax snow shoes?

6:29 am

a lot of es = fs

6:30 am

Mousey - I bet you wouln't say that if the cat was reaching into a mouse hole.:)

6:30 am

Hi flosey.

6:30 am

neat stretchy rubber things you put over the bottom of your shoes, that have coiled wires on them, which bite into the snow and ice. I'm quite nervous abotu falling, but with these I feel completely confident.

6:30 am

*wouldn't

6:30 am

Hi Jacula

6:30 am

Eva - Oh, I have some of those but they're caled 'shoe chains' over here.

6:31 am

*called

6:31 am

I think Haz has reciprocated re the 'voodoo' doll - I can't type now! LOL

6:31 am

the yak traks are a new variety, much lighter and you can even walk on floors without tearing them up

6:31 am

Is anyone else having problems getting Lickety's List tonight?

6:32 am

that sounds like a great idea Eva - I'm nervous walking on ice and snow now - wonder if they have them in Canada?

6:32 am

can't rmemeber whether they're yak trax or traks

6:32 am

Eva - I'll look out for those. Mind you, it's been some years since we've had and substantial snow and ice here.

6:32 am

Merk - don't know. Not using a list ... yet.

6:32 am

jac i could just fart and smell the flowers

6:32 am

Flosey-I bet you they do, or that you can order them. You should be able to google them easily.

6:33 am

okay, down to 54, time to get a life. See you all later

6:33 am

I'll try that, not much ice here on west coast but have sons in Toronto to visit and they have lots of ice and snow

ack, it says reich is not in the flippin' dictionary1

6:34 am

Mousey - thank you. I was just looking for 'f' words. Different middle vowel but it gave me 3 words.

6:34 am

7:23 am

iron belongs to a class of fe8

7:24 am

that didnt work for me either gramma

7:30 am

fe + the preposition meaning to do again + you might tell or read your child a st*** before bed , only make that last word plural

7:30 am

you need to start with the correct fe4 - try French brother without the first "r"

7:30 am

brb.. java..

7:30 am

I'm going to run down to the feetorie and get something new

7:30 am

i prefer the feelorie

fe10 is a combination of a fe4 and a to5

7:30 am

TY

7:30 am

good morning all, ty lynxx

7:31 am

oohhh I like feelories

7:31 am

tx lynx did'nt have the right fe4/7 to start with

the only fe5/16 I have so far is greek cheese - a + either/** (conjunction). If that helps

7:32 am

lol gramma!! I tried that too!

7:32 am

7:33 am

7:33 am

fe5.16 that I have is just plural of the fe4.7

7:33 am

I have the plural parties fe 5/16

7:34 am

So many Es and Rs and yet "terrier" is not here. Nor "terrorize"

7:34 am

the fourth fe 4/7

7:35 am

7:35 am

f + "able was I *** I saw Elba"

7:35 am

8:04 am

I try to forget all the others

8:10 am

8:11 am

You all probably knew this but I'll mention it anyway in case there is someone out there as thick as me. Did you know that at the top of lickety's clues, there's a box where you can enter your words and they magically appear in the proper order? It has helped me a lot.

8:11 am

lo, I left to make coffee

8:12 am

my last c word - first ci 5/12 - after the one that sounds like 'to father'

8:12 am

8:47 am

can't manage the bathrobe fabric - tho am sitting here in it!!

8:47 am

just found the last 8, it's an or8 meaning: an apparatus for representing the positions, motions, and phases of the planets, satellites, etc., in the solar system.

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

hello babblers

12:32 pm

ok, so this leaves C5 and H5

12:35 pm

12:41 pm

12:41 pm

12:42 pm

What did the outlet say to the cord?

12:42 pm

I would be so much better at this game if I could actually spell.

2:08 pm

hey peri - when i forget to grease the pan like that, what i do is sort of tip the pan and scrape all the batter in to one half, grease the other half. then tip it the other way and repeat. it's better than nothing.

2:08 pm

TY, hursh! I got all 3!

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

the grid is stoooooopid

Grids decent, so I am.

2:09 pm

It sucks on toast ..

2:09 pm

hurshy, I'll remember that for next time. I put a serving knife around the edges and it looks like they will come out all right. Still too warm to cut though. I am drooling here.

2:09 pm

I still need help with that or + a grain

True, but it carries over into real life because I type in the same mis-spelt words every day.

2:09 pm

the grain is an r4

or + *** - a - roni

2:23 pm

Yahoooo klaurel

2:23 pm

re5, 16 is to disprove. or change the middle consonant in the word that means to drive or force back

2:24 pm

2:24 pm

TY hursh! 30 to go!

2:24 pm

"I did not do that."--a quote attributed to klaurel

2:36 pm

first ci5/12 please

2:36 pm

scrabbler, you might say it was, uh, ironic, how many FEs there are.

2:36 pm

ci + double consonant + vowel

2:37 pm

I know that there are iron-suffix words, but I just don't know them, and my SCrabble dictionary is home

2:38 pm

I mean iron word as prefix

2:38 pm

2:47 pm

*****growling******

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

Those pups are SO cute, Inge2

or 8 = o + double cons + World Cup s*****

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

Wrong part of his anatomy. LOL

2:49 pm

I'm a nice girl, lol

2:49 pm

bunny...I'm thinking soccer, but that's not right.

2:50 pm

I am nice too, ---some bad thoughts, but good decisions

That S word is like a TV s*****, or parts of a book.

2:51 pm

tx bunny, got it now.

2:52 pm

OK, 2 fo's to go, then I will leave----second fo6,27 and fo7,40, please

2:52 pm

fo6/27 please, the 1st one?

2:53 pm

and how bout those first two he7s?

Ist fo 6/27 is just like the fe 5/16 above it.

2:53 pm

fo6/27 - alt spelling of fe5/16 fo7/40, the ages between 39 and 50

2:53 pm

I found fo7--duh---I need the second fo6,27

2:53 pm

fo7 the roaring fo*****

2:53 pm

whoops, I need the 2nd fo6/27, not the 1st

2:53 pm

1st fo6/27 = enemy + "me"

2nd fo 6/27 - like the weasle pet

2:55 pm

TY BV--that was it. 14 left for tonight--I will delay fireworks!

I meant SOUNDS like the weasel pet

2:55 pm

Tx again, bunny, helped me too.

2:55 pm

bye. scrabbler, good luck w/ the boss

Bye Scrab

2:56 pm

to quote torgone, the 1st two he7s: weird or normal?

well if this isn't the "Old MacDonald" grid of all time - E I E I O! E I E I, OY VEY! is more like it.

Uhm, bit of both? One is plural of a man's name, the other sounds like someone who comes into money with the in at the beginning.

I meant without the "in" at the beginning.

2:59 pm

got the one who comes into money, tx!

hi, BV

Howdy!

2:59 pm

And just to clear up the man's name confusion, the THIRD he7/32 is also alt. spell of a man's name plural. The one at the top is the plural king with many wives.

The mans name is also a candy bar brand, O' He**y

3:00 pm

tx, ch, that helped alot; done. Just in time for meetings. :) Thank you bunny and all.

Bye Inge

3:01 pm

Congrats Inge2!

ch1212, wouldn't the third he 7 be spelt with an a if it were a man's name, like Mr. Potter? Or can it be spelt with an e too?

3:02 pm

it's the first he7 that's a man's name

3:02 pm

Well, that's why I said 'alt. spelling' because I've seen it both ways, but I'm used to the A one, like Prince and Mr. P

3:03 pm

oh, you've seen it with an e? wow

3:03 pm

never heard of that

3:03 pm

Prince being the young redheaded cutie currently in line on the other side of the pond

OK, just wondering :)

Done, after that te 6/7 combo, I never remember that one.

3:04 pm

Hurrah for bunny!! Whee!!!

3:05 pm

which combo bunny?

First two te's, nickname for a computer te**nician (te 6/24), comparative for the te 7/36

3:07 pm

thx bunny and well done

I'm gonna go shovel a path through the girl's room, see ya'll tomorrow (if this wind doesn't blow the house away). Bye

3:08 pm

bye bunny - stay warm

3:09 pm

sigh. we finally got a dusting of snow this morning, but it's pretty much gone already :(

Not snow, IN hte girl's room, toys, clothes and who know's what else?!

3:09 pm

no, i know bunny, twas unrelated :)

3:10 pm

pretty much half way thru but my eyes are going funny - good night all

3:10 pm

We're still waiting in New England. My husband and I have decided that people here have been hiding the truth -- they give stock video footage of horrible winters to the networks just to keep people from moving here ... it's really quite balmy :D

3:10 pm

he 7/32 pls - i have the kings

What stse ar you in Hursh? I'm in Texas, news said we might get a little snow this weekend, but it's so sunny right now.

Bye Denny

stse = state

3:11 pm

dspike you will want the second he7/32 -- think of the person who gets someone's estate when they die... now take off the "in"

3:11 pm

ty ch1212

3:12 pm

oh, i'm in new england with ch1212 :)

3:12 pm

ch - this is a very atypical winter, honest.

Hmmm, guess we aren't in the same weather pattern huh? See ya'll tomorrow.

3:13 pm

are you? For some reason I had you in Texas. Mmmm.... and SURE it's a typical winter :) Nah, we're sticking with the conspiracy theory :D

3:13 pm

i've lived in new england all my life... and i'm kind of scared of texas...

3:16 pm

Can't blame you there :). Gosh, I'm truly surprised. I really had you placed mentally in Texas, in a small town near the Mexican border. Now I'm laughing!

3:16 pm

hmm, i wonder what gave you that idea?

3:16 pm

Tell me you at least teach math... or is that wrong too?

3:17 pm

yes, well, i tutor - taught two classes last year, then went back to tutoring cause i didn't like the classroom discipline aspect of things

3:18 pm

but math, yes

Hurshy...what is scary about texas??? I am thinking of moving there in 08.

3:19 pm

oh good, at least I recalled one thing correctly. Sometimes our various life details get mixed up when we're all chatting away. I no doubt have you confused with another smart, savy Babbler who does live in Texas. Now I'm off to start dinner early -- bye all - happy hunting!

3:20 pm

i can't say... i'll offend people

okay...sorry. I am generally so matter of fact that I usually offend people and don't recognize it till someone tells me.

3:21 pm

me too!

great...comrades in mouth.

3:21 pm

:)

3:22 pm

Hi all. Can someone clue the or8? It's my last 8 and it seems to be eluding me

3:22 pm

se 6/24 pls

3:22 pm

mkl, think of fake signatures and remove F and change G

My daughter is moving to texas this year and is planning on being hapai perhaps later this year. i was thinking of being grammies there and helping out. Hi mkl.

3:23 pm

she sells s*****lls by the s****ore, spelt very very wrong

3:23 pm

hapai... is pregnant?

yes. pregnant...coming from germany after 6 year stint there. I am excited.

3:24 pm

Thanks. Don't feel so bad now. I never would have found that on my own

3:24 pm

is she in the military?

3:24 pm

tough clue hursh but i got it - thx

She and her hubby are. He was awarded a silver star for his bravery recently. it was hard for her to hear the happenings and i was shocked. he was in Iraq

3:25 pm

it's a hard word to clue :)

3:25 pm

wow. well at least he made it out alive...

3:25 pm

COP, come on to TX, hardly anyone rides horses down the streets anymore and nearly everyone has indoor plumbing!

3:25 pm

Oh and Hurshy. Before we settled in Alaska we literally travelled all around the country. Stayed about three months in each place. The only state we weren't in was Michigan. People are just about the same everywhere you go. Not politically, but in the way they live

Yes, he did. I am grateful.

3:26 pm

Also, if you're ever in another part of the country and feel homesick go to Wal-Mart. They're the same everywhere. :-)

3:26 pm

well... but... texas is so... BIG

3:26 pm

It's less than half the size of Alaska

3:27 pm

i'm used to states that are only a few hours long at most.

3:27 pm

Gotta be, gotta have room for all that love!

I understand the misconceptions from people, but I love horses, just can't ride them : ]

3:27 pm

Yep. It took a little getting used to in New England. I was raised out west.

For sure about Walmart we have at least three here, and the outer islands are still waiting

3:28 pm

i would certainly not mind horses. but i do think that there are sort of regional differences - we new englanders are more... reserved. and since i'm used to that, i kind of like it that way.

3:28 pm

ch7 please?

3:28 pm

more ch5/20

3:28 pm

Let me know when you get here COP and if the timing is right, I'll get you tickets to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!

What sort of reservations do New Englanders have?

3:29 pm

Oh Hursh, life is too short!

3:29 pm

Reserved is a nice way to put it. My brother-in-law is from just outside of Boston. He's definately***reserved

3:29 pm

we're less friendly and open, it takes longer to build friendships

3:29 pm

Don't have that ch5 yet either

3:30 pm

and yet here you are!

Here we have that, but for the most part people are friendly and will even invite you in just because.

3:30 pm

nm just found it. Thanks

3:30 pm

sometimes when i interact with people who are not so reserved, i feel that they are being rude, but it's really just a cultural difference

3:30 pm

well, i think everyone is less inhibited on the internet

I think true friendship takes time to build anywhere.

3:31 pm

yes, i'm sure that's true

3:31 pm

hi everyone!

3:32 pm

Yep. The internet is like being in a car. You can give people the bird and drive off

3:32 pm

hey fran

I have traveled for 20 years and met many people all over the world. I have yet to get to the east coast though, so I am not familiar with much of that area.

3:32 pm

:-)

hi all

Hi tea, Hi Fran

3:32 pm

I liked New England. As a group they are a little hard to get used to. Individually, I met a LOT of nice people

3:32 pm

i just love new england, it's... i don't know... in my blood somehow. i'm descended from roger williams, the founder of rhode island, on my mom's side AND my dad's

3:33 pm

hi hursh! hi COP! hi mkl! hi TnC!

3:35 pm

fe6? The one right after the fe10?

3:35 pm

i usually use Safari, but i'm trying out the sidebar.

What is Firefox?

3:35 pm

oh, i get it. lol... i think 300 years is long enough that you don't have to worry too much about that sort of thing...

3:35 pm

iron - ish mkl

3:36 pm

That's what I was thinking, but I can't monkey it

thanks.

6:43 pm

ty spanner

6:44 pm

*grin* that's okay, I bet it's nice to have only "known" challenges for a bit!

6:45 pm

i'm trying to fatten up my newest little guy, "peanut", because at 3 1/2 months he is still only 2 1/2 pounds.

6:45 pm

wurdy when are they next touring by you?

6:46 pm

wow. sounds like a tiny one! was he a "runt" or just undernourished? our Lucky (see my icon) was only about 55 lbs when we got him at a year and a half. Took months to get his weight where it was supposed to be.

6:46 pm

not any time soon....but i got my neighbor hooked and she looked up tickets and said they were 750 for good seats

6:46 pm

gramma how old is eleanor?

6:46 pm

Ithink that is a bit excessive but she is obsessed. Like I am not lol

6:47 pm

hi everybody

6:47 pm

hi Ping!

6:47 pm

hi ping

6:47 pm

hhi Ping.. speaking of cute pictures

6:47 pm

TThey are not cheap, but I dont buy expensive seats. i buy cheaper ones...you still get to listen to the same concert and experience the same atmosphere...

6:48 pm

thanks dorens

6:48 pm

stid, he was the runt (of 7)-vet said he might always be small. your "Lucky" is handsome!

6:48 pm

hi ping

6:48 pm

my in-laws once got us tickets to hear Pavarotti when he was in Portland... more than 12 years ago. It was luscious singing.

6:48 pm

lots of repetition in this here grid, yes?

hi ping

6:48 pm

same hear but you get to go sit with them at the end of the concert during the last song. and get your pic taken with them. I would just DIE

6:49 pm

WOW stid, that must have been something else..

6:49 pm

they let you touch them

6:49 pm

hi stid, wurdy, spanner, gramma, and dorens!

6:49 pm

DOnt go wurdy...we dont want you to die...LOL

6:49 pm

it was really beautiful. If only the tone-deaf woman sitting next to us hadn't insisted on singing along... (we did eventually convince her to stop)

6:49 pm

I would stuff my fat butt into Urs's pocket and go home with him

6:50 pm

Look wurdy get the cheap seats and console yourself with the knowledge that at the end of the concert they are sweaty and damp and possibly a little smelly...

6:51 pm

you are so not making it sound bad

6:51 pm

lol

foflol wurdy

6:51 pm

Too much information

6:51 pm

cliff, I am so proud of Lucky. After being so badly mistreated he is doing beautifully. Now that his self esteem is improved, I am more able to work on actual behavior things because he doesn't fear the word "no" any more.

6:52 pm

a "little" smelly, spanner? have you ever performed under those lights? *holding nose just from memory*

6:52 pm

I feel like my kids when they discovered the wiggles

6:52 pm

I was being kind...dont want to shatter all wurdys illusions

6:53 pm

man, I am NEVER going to finish this grid. The conversations are too interesting!

6:53 pm

re6&7, the last two please?

6:53 pm

But as you insist....wurdy at the end of a concert those boys must STINK...LOL

6:53 pm

i am never going to finish and am not actually reading the conversations, stid. maybe I should!

6:53 pm

LOL

6:53 pm

I live with my husband the man who works in a factory and has "earned" the name king of stink....sweaty hot guys...hmmmm no brainer...my nose is immune

6:53 pm

at least you'd accomplish something, Dorens! :-)

6:53 pm

just holler if you want some clues

6:54 pm

that's what i''m thinking stid.... but i'm down to 34 and never say die

6:54 pm

Yes but they sweat..your lips will slip off...LOL

6:54 pm

sorry but cary grant was a great actor

7:04 pm

There is a difference between style and proficiency though dorens, dont you think?

7:04 pm

i had a crush on him before i was old enough to have a crush.

7:05 pm

i have a crush on him but the unreal young perpetually reserved him

7:05 pm

i dunno, spanner.. i was always so blinded by the style. he is not lawrence olivier, but just so damned charming and handsome too

7:05 pm

He was lovely looking...but I am a ty Power or gregory peck girl myself. Ty for looks Greg for ability

7:05 pm

7:06 pm

hi peri

7:06 pm

Excellent comic timing

7:06 pm

7:06 pm

i agree, dorens - gregory peck yes

7:06 pm

ok really must go...have to check out the pres coverage so far and prep for the interuption of my nightly brain rotting

7:07 pm

Good evening folks. I am back to finish---12 to go. All R's--I wanted to save the best for last.

i have to deal with things neglected thanks to babble... but will clue for a bit, if needed

7:54 pm

Gwen - I thought the same myself!

yes - they put on a good show - not particularily my kinda music - a little to 'hard rocky' for me, even though they are not a that kind of band - i mostly saw them so many times cause my sister used to live in NO & knew someone in that band - so whenever i'd visit, we would see them, but again, i don't remember who that was - they have been around a really, really long time - & that's always a good sign :)

7:55 pm

happy fluff and folding Fran

oooh will you suggest to babbler favorite chef's icon day? what do you think all?

8:09 pm

lori, re7.28, one who doesn't have to work anymore

8:10 pm

Lori - I don't have the list so hope I am not putting you crook

8:10 pm

the second fo 6/27 please

8:10 pm

retiree

8:10 pm

re6/18 you're looking for, Lori, is what you do when you either stop working life or go to bed. re7 = the one who does that.

8:10 pm

Ack! Sorry

8:10 pm

Hmm - correct. Now try the grid box.:)

8:10 pm

Try a consonant at end Lori

8:11 pm

go fo* ** or why we have gophers double the middle letters

8:11 pm

Gawd. I mean the last 7/28. (I'm blond, okay?)

8:11 pm

2nd fo6/27 is a computer program.

8:12 pm

drop one of those e's Lori and add a consonant

8:12 pm

Yes, please clue the final re 7 and I also don't have any idea where the 10 word is. I could use the first two letters and a clue for it.

8:12 pm

TO - the chef theme sounds good.

8:12 pm

lori, last re7.28 is do it agains

mer, fe. clues earlier as carrying a lot of conservatives across the river

8:13 pm

merk, fe10

8:13 pm

I am new too, jmsmo93. Perhaps you might want to start by looking at the Help at the top of the page; then go to the bottom and and look at angelsong's cite; from there to lickity's babbleclues. Welcome and good luck!

8:13 pm

Merk - the 10 word is fe10/91 and is the place where saints' remains are stored.

actually a reliquary i think

8:13 pm

TO - That's the usual word for it, yes.

8:14 pm

Okay, I'm now in full blond mode. The last re 7 is going right over my head... :(

8:14 pm

Thnx lbd

8:15 pm

Last re7/28 = to attempt again.

8:15 pm

attempt to do it again lori

8:15 pm

Have you a tr 5/10 Lori - re it

8:15 pm

Me, too, Lori, so don't feel bad.

8:15 pm

yw angb

8:15 pm

Lori - 'blond'? You're male then? Sorry, I thought you were female.

8:16 pm

How do I find a list at Babblers Anonymous. I did not find it there.

8:16 pm

it helps if you have the fe4.7 which means a companion or spouse

8:16 pm

Merk - it's in general section.

8:16 pm

fe = storing remains of saints. Is there any other clue about that one?

8:18 pm

Holy cow! I got it. Betetr late than never. (note to self, purchade hair dye, STAT!) Thank ye all.

try google

8:18 pm

fe10 = fe4/7 (sounds like you're scared) + Maggie Thatcher's people.

8:18 pm

Merk, try finding the fe4.7 first, it means companion or spouse, it looks like a french spelling of brother.

8:18 pm

*purchase

8:19 pm

Lori - are you a lady or a man?

8:19 pm

most are

8:19 pm

fe4.7 + to6.8 =fe10

8:19 pm

Jacula, I'm a chick. Hardly ever been called a lady.... :)

8:19 pm

is there a third choice?

8:20 pm

more tea...brb, anyone want a cuppa?

8:20 pm

A cuppa' joe would be nice! Thanks. :)

8:20 pm

Oh, okay Lori. I only asked because you said 'blond' (the male for fair). Females are 'blonde'. Oh, Now I sound like I'm trying to be a clever clogs.:((

hey dawg - hear tonight that putting milk into tea dilutes the antioxidant qualities

8:21 pm

Yes please, lbd - so long as it's PG Tips.

8:21 pm

Jacula, the Canadian/American thing?

8:21 pm

TO - Earl Grey with lemon is good.

8:21 pm

Or [erhaps it's a Dan Quayle moment.... :)

8:22 pm

*perhaps

8:22 pm

Lori - Erm, wouldn't know about that. I was just talking about correct spellings.:(

i am so bored with this grid : /

8:22 pm

laundry under control, one load dry, another load hung up and one more load in the washer...it doesn't end!

8:22 pm

LOL Jacula

8:23 pm

is there some way we can make it more exciting for you TO? perhaps acting out the clues? :-)

oooooohh ii'd like THAT - could you?

8:24 pm

jac, i was not aware that the two spellings were gender related, now i've learned one more new thing today.

8:24 pm

I'll sure try TO!

8:24 pm

Perhaps an interpretative dance would liven up the cluing for TO? :)

8:24 pm

You with us Jillibus ?

8:24 pm

Fran - Like I keep saying, Babble educates the mind! LOL

8:25 pm

Hi, All....

8:25 pm

Acting out the clues sounds fun. What a pity we can appear on video on here.

8:25 pm

diem, she took a break earlier, not sure if she's back yet

8:25 pm

G'd evening Pam

8:25 pm

hi pam!!

8:25 pm

Hi again, pam.

8:26 pm

Mean't *can't appear on video. LOL.

8:26 pm

thanks, lor and jac... daire i start?

8:26 pm

Tks Fran

8:26 pm

... or maybe not.

8:26 pm

you're just in time for interpretive dance and acting out of the babble clues.

8:26 pm

ok, i started... keep seeing szechuan

ok - interpret.......or5/10 - 6/18!

8:26 pm

lol, fran

8:26 pm

lol, fran

8:26 pm

And where did that apostrophe come from? I swear they just insert themselves sometimes.

8:26 pm

The first two fo 6/27's please?

hi pam

8:27 pm

TO!

8:27 pm

or5/10 & plural 6/18 - Squawk, squawk... I'm flying over the ocean.

8:27 pm

okay, i'm acting like i'm at a place of work, but changing the double consonants to a different double consonant

*hold nose*

8:28 pm

fo6/27 is "enemy" + "small hill"

*marches to and fro like budkingam palace guard, holding nose, to indicate british spelling*

8:28 pm

No, I'm not - I'm full of glass and I'm sticking out of the front of your house. You can look through me.

8:28 pm

okay, back with a cuppa joe for Lori, and tea for all other takers...i have japanese green tea, earl grey, gun powder, and jasmine blossom

how's that, fran?

8:29 pm

hi, lbd

8:29 pm

Hi Pam!

8:29 pm

or6/21 is spelled like a place you go to work, but change double Fs to a different consonant

8:30 pm

Thanks for the caffeine hit lb. Thank ye Fran for the 1st fo 6.

8:30 pm

TO - I can assure you that none of the guards at Buckingham Palace ever march about holding their noses. LOL.

8:30 pm

8:30 pm

8:35 pm

Don't know if I'll be doing Friday's grid; going to a funeral early on and it may stretch throughout the day. Ex-hubby's grandad, my grandad-in-law. He was 92 and a feisty old boy. (The grandad that is, not the 'ex'! )

8:35 pm

8:35 pm

8:42 pm

LOL, TO. I thought you were going to start profaning for a moment.

8:43 pm

Fran - I LOVE that film! I want to do the Route 66 thing, since I saw it.

8:43 pm

my daughter wants Cars - we got her a tee shirt instead - she's into Land Before Time lately

*waves to nut* maybe tomorrow

8:43 pm

Yes, I know most of Route 66 doesn't exist now.

8:43 pm

me too jac!

8:43 pm

does anyone remember the old tv show Route 66?

8:44 pm

Ping - I think we have talked about Land Before Time Before? My kids watched the originals and you're are now on about part 15?

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

Cars is a great movie. My kids love it, and so do I.

8:47 pm

or8 = apparatus in a planetarium. Sounds like houses of horror.

8:47 pm

lbd - your clue and mine put together are frighteningly true! Also, hilarious.

8:48 pm

Lori, begins the double consonant series of or words

8:48 pm

female reproduction...houses of horror

'night TO

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

G'night TO

8:55 pm

did anyone else see the news that lily munster (yvonne decarlo) died today?

8:55 pm

Night TO

8:55 pm

bye TO!

8:55 pm

yes, that was sad news to hear.

well, back into the grid... have to track down that last 39

8:56 pm

ugh lbd! it snowed on the Big Island two nights ago, we had a low come through here too.

8:56 pm

yes, fran, I was sad She was AMAZING as lily

8:57 pm

the front that hit you blew through yesterday...or rather last night. and now this one coming out of alaska is bearing down on us.

8:57 pm

i watched the munsters more than the other show (which i can't think of right now)

8:57 pm

Fran - No, that news hasn't filtered over to UK yet. Shame! I used to love that show.

8:57 pm

Hi Babblers!

8:57 pm

Adams Family, that was it

8:58 pm

hi relarion!

8:58 pm

Hi Relarion!

8:58 pm

G'd evening relarion

8:58 pm

Yes, Fran. I liked both, but preferred The Munsters. It had a little more subtle humour.

8:58 pm

clues for th er words? all i have so far is mistake

8:58 pm

Hi relarion.

8:58 pm

I liked both those shows. lots of silly quirky characters.

8:58 pm

hi relarion

8:58 pm

70 words done & 70 words to go & just started about 5 10 min ago!

8:58 pm

Ping - the other words are sexy.

8:59 pm

Ping...sensuous

8:59 pm

you're fast, love

8:59 pm

jac clued those for me last night.

8:59 pm

jac, no wonder i couldn't find those!

8:59 pm

see, i told you she was quick on those!

8:59 pm

Hi Lori, Fran, Jac, lb, PIng...yes, way fast, love. I have 41 left and have been on and off today, may not finish.

8:59 pm

thanks, got them!

8:59 pm

wow! i'm impressed love

8:59 pm

good for you i.l.y.

8:59 pm

lol, fran

8:59 pm

ciao, all

8:59 pm

*Sigh* - just got head almost bitten off by (once sweet) daughter because I asked her why she had curling tongs heating up whilst she was using her hair straighteners.

8:59 pm

night Pam

9:00 pm

later pam!

9:00 pm

Seemed a reasonable question to me!

9:00 pm

G'night Pam.

9:00 pm

well, jee Jac, gotta have some curl in the straightened hair! lol

9:00 pm

who can explain kids today jac?

9:00 pm

night pam

9:01 pm

The ro 7 please?

9:01 pm

Fran - re the 'er' words - have you been giving me a bad reputation whilst my daughter has been wounding me??

9:01 pm

maybe she's going to do a farrah fawcett flip.

9:01 pm

welp, must go, criminal minds is on, and hubby is hollering for me. night everyone see you tomorrow

9:01 pm

lori, more like the part of a tree that's underground

9:01 pm

night lbd!

9:01 pm

first fo6/27 anyone?

9:02 pm

no jac, i just said that you clued those for me last night and you were very quick.

9:02 pm

shmooz, fo6, "enemy" + "small hill"

9:02 pm

lbd - that read really badly, 'criminal minds is on and husban is hollering for me'. Are you two set to become the new Bonnie & Clyde?

back after hearing tonight's news...felt compelled to change my icon

9:04 pm

brb, have to get the kids a snack

9:04 pm

Thank ye for the ro 7.

i absolutely have hated this grid for the last 30 words & i still have 30 to go :(

9:06 pm

Oh heck, TO. What's happened now? More lads killed in Iraq?

9:06 pm

Hell - what do you need?

9:07 pm

Fran - I was only kidding!

of course...and more to come i'm afraid - time to resurrect the prayer chain for the men.

I loved both the addams family & the munsters, but really wednesday & pugsly & cousin itt & gomez hand-kissing mortica up the arm - gotta love that

uh oh whho died?

9:07 pm

Time to get oout of Iraq and leave them to it, more like.

9:08 pm

I loved Cousin It's baby - all that hair with a dummy in the middle. ROFLOL.

jacs - can't do that it would be cruel to ssay the least. being responsible is cleaning up your messes. but having lived through viet nam this is t ough

again, i gotta say it - i'm surprised some mom hasn't put a bullet in bush's head by now (or maybe she already has & no one's noticed it cause it's still ricocheting around in there)

yes are we talking addams family vs. munsters?

yvonne de carlo died today

9:09 pm

only kidding about what jac?

oh that's sad. most people know her only as lili but she was quite the beauty in her day

I always thought she was beautiful as lily too :)

9:10 pm

i'm missing the fe 7/8 combo that follows the boats that carry you across the river

ping, i think you need the iron ore/s

Ping... think chemical compounds... containing iron

9:11 pm

To - I was around when Vietnam was going on, too. Though just a youngster. Having read back, I think that is a war we should not,as Westerners, interfered with, also. But that's such a dodgey platform to talk to friends about, especially one from a different continent.

9:11 pm

thanks, TO and metal

9:12 pm

go them both

9:12 pm

Hell - re the Bush bullet comment. LOL

9:12 pm

Not that I advocate anyone being assassinated either.

jhacs, it is much eesier to discuss such things when history has put some perspective on them. one thing is sure: many problems were caused by fighting half-assed on both fronts. having been around for several assinations, i think helen you don't realize what you ar saying

forgive me for making this my first comment of the evening, but I'm a new fan of assasination, myself.

for about the last 6 years or so.

hi all! =)

the problem with war is no one wants to make the big commitment - face it, it's the leaders of the country's that make the "bad" policies, but we can't just take them out, that wouldn't be cricket, instead thousands of young people are brainwashed into sacrificing themselves

9:14 pm

hey flyndog.

ok - i'm going. sorry if i started this. i really don't think you have any idea of what you are saying and i don'[t want any part of that conversation. how can you complain about lives being taken and advocate taking one purposefully? good night.

sorry TO, i totally realize what i'm saying - basically the goal is to change the how things are done - but we have always approached it from the bottom up, instead of from the top down

9:15 pm

The te 7 please?

9:16 pm

Even Saddam's hanging (if it actually happened) caused me some consternation. Doesn't taking the Bible's 'an eye for an eye' etc, along with 'thou shalt not killl' make the retributers as bad as the murderers? I don't know! I just feel uncomfortable about executions. Sure, I'd want to kill someone who hurt one of my family... and the mob hangings that happen in places may well be the same things. I just feel uncomfortable about state approved taking of life.

if you go into another country with rifles & ammunition, how can it NOT be your goal to purposefully take lives?

whoops, guess I stepped in it right off the bat

9:16 pm

more te/6

honestly, the world would be a better place without the man

tho I don't want him to be remembered fondly as a martyr

i'm talking about your advocating removel vcia gun of the person this country voted into its highest office. he is not the preseident of those who voted for him; he is the president.

let's see - if someone had just shot hitler, i know that at least 1/2 of my father's family would still be alive

hi all. I don't think I will finish this grid but I want to start...

i don't beleive you are kaming that comparison.that's truly awful.

true, TO, and I do have a healthy amount of respect for his OFFICE. but he has done a tremendous amount of damage to that office, and to our country

9:18 pm

hi autumn moon

oh TO - that IS 2 different things i was talking about

9:19 pm

te7 -- more like a computer guru

so, the answer is shoot him?

9:19 pm

To - sorry if we're upsetting you by discussing things here, but what Hell just said.... Do you know how many German Jews were 'tidied away' in WWII?

9:19 pm

Oops, I meant te 7/28

not really, but we can daydream

9:19 pm

Some people are here for clues

what does that have to do with advocating killing hte president?

1) I AM really surprsied a mother has not become enraged about pain/dismemberment/ death of a child/soldier

hi Jilli

is it snowing at your house?

9:20 pm

ain't no te 7/28

soryy jili - i'lll go and leave you to your clues. good bye

9:20 pm

hey guys, time out. : )

9:20 pm

lori, plural of cloth used for towels

9:20 pm

hi babs!

9:20 pm

I think the answer is to speak clearly and rationally against the killing in Iraq and to advocate for the engagement with other countries in the reigion in conversation and negotiation instead of name calling "axis of evil" cowboy BS

9:20 pm

autumn -- it WAS snowing -- not now.

9:21 pm

6,000,000 Jews killled in WWII. 160,000 German Jews.

9:21 pm

hi Fran, hi everybody. I've been lurking for a few mins, after changing my icon. It's an uncomfortable topic, to be sure.

still snowing here, Jill. My hubby is stuck in New westminster....can't get up any of the hills

9:21 pm

TO, don't go -- I have to make supper -- it's just that the clue-asker was being ignored

9:21 pm

nice icon

9:21 pm

Thank ye Fran.

but the other thing i was talking about is how wars are fought in general - that the goal is to change things at the top, but we sacrifice (on both sides) thousands of young lives

i am well aware of that, jacs - having studies it for two semesters. but i don't understand what that has to do with iraq

i wasn't comparing hitler to bush

9:22 pm

TO - I never said anyone should kill te president! Quite th opposite.

wouldn't you know...as soon as I sit down to work on this the furchild wants to go outside...bbl

9:23 pm

autumn -- the snow stopped here this afternoon but now the deep freeze sets in so beware black ice. I'm lucky I can stay home!

9:23 pm

New book by Orson Scott Card called "Empire" just came out-worth checking out related to this discussion

and all i said was that i am genuinely surprised no one has been outraged enough yet to try to hurt bush personally --- that's not an advocation, just an observation & comment on my part

9:23 pm

Gosh! This reminds me of the debating club at senior school. Problem is, we can't see each other's faces and body language and so misunderstandings will (or may) abound.

9:23 pm

And for the other conversation -- war is hell

yeah, Jill...I will simply take the lazy way out and put her in the yard instead of a walk. bbl

9:23 pm

te7/28 anyone?

no discussion here

9:24 pm

shmooz, plural of cloth for towels.

9:24 pm

te 7/28 many towles

yes jili - war IS hell - it should be avoided at ALL costs

9:24 pm

The te 7 was just clued. (Thank ye again Fran)

9:25 pm

I don' t know what a towle is.

9:25 pm

hk, that won't happen until women are in charge of the world, men have gone to war for centuries.

9:25 pm

There is an art to war - Sun Tzu's famous book. He basically said to aim to resolve, and suggested lots of ways of doing it. War was only a very last resort, and even that had stages. I wonder if today's people at the top are at all familiar with it.

9:25 pm

te7/28 (did I say there wasn't one? Sorry) -- Rhymes with one of the ch8/50s -- the fruity one

9:25 pm

hillary, towel

AMEN FRAN

9:26 pm

can anyone clue me the 10 letter word please

9:26 pm

I feel sad and frustrated by the aggressive posture the US now finds itself in, and heartbroken at the thought of all of the hatred and sorrow that has been generated by this war.

babbler - that should be required reading for everyone elected to office

9:26 pm

te7 bradshaw and toons

9:26 pm

hi knitter! fe4/7 + to6/18

9:26 pm

I think so too, helen

9:27 pm

it is a place to keep saint's relics fe________

9:27 pm

the 10 letter word I mean

9:27 pm

hi fran. soory to hear you were "cold" today in beautiful hawaii

o2baf - me too!

9:27 pm

brb, kids want more grapes.

9:27 pm

aknitter -- fe10 -- f + *** long + whigs and ****** (conservatives)

9:27 pm

I am saddened at how aggressive things get on here when we try to discuss something that important to us all.. as a global community.

9:27 pm

lol knitter, that was a couple nights ago, but i like it cooler.

enci, I feel the same exactly... and sad and angry to be associated in any way with this kind of unprovoked aggression against a soverign country

i am with you o2 & enci

9:28 pm

now I'm going to get my supper at last!!!

9:28 pm

I see it as impassioned, Jac. I wouldn't expect less, they're hot potatoes.

jacula - as long as it doesn't resort to inane name calling, i enjoy the 'debate', 'dicussion' whatever you want to call it

9:29 pm

Politics and religion - the things I promised myself early on in my life that I would NEVER discuss with friends... why? Because they are , and have been, the biggest causes of wars and coflict throughout our history.

9:29 pm

I am happy to see energy put into the debate- even if it gets ugly and uncomfortable- apathy will kill us if we let it.

9:29 pm

the topics I mean. (am I digging a hole??)

sorry, jac, I don't feel aggressive, just passionate

9:30 pm

Enci - We must never let apathy get us!

no babbler - you done good !

9:30 pm

i knew what you meant babs!

9:30 pm

we should try to not let that sort of thing happen again

9:30 pm

o2 - passion is good!

9:30 pm

oh phew! lol

but jacula - of course, now that you are older & wiser, your tune has quite changed, no?

9:30 pm

can I have a clue for the er 8 pls

9:31 pm

favorite word of the day so far- the 2d ce 4/5

9:31 pm

yet voter turnout continues to drop

9:31 pm

well I meant 7 but will take the 8 too, assume it is a pair

now I will be splitting my attention between you wonderful people, the grid (hopeless tonight!) and criminal minds... so I bow (hopefully not totally without grace) out of this conversation...

9:31 pm

We all live on the same bit of space rock. One day, we may all have to team up to work out how to save it, or go elsewhere. I think it's good tht we thrash out any differences now.

9:32 pm

phand, another form of the er6/21, to make provocative.

good chatting with you o2, bye

9:32 pm

kind of a strange spelling phand.

9:32 pm

me too, Jac.

9:32 pm

later flyndog!

babbler - just noticed your seashell icon - that's truly loverly!

9:33 pm

er 7/48 is to make something er 6/21

9:33 pm

140 words. Done! Thank ye all for the clues.

9:33 pm

yay lori!

9:33 pm

Hell - I'l send you a poem I once wrote about what the Nazis did.

wd lori!

9:34 pm

Congrats Lori

okay jacula

9:34 pm

HELP, can

9:34 pm

HELP cant get it...

9:34 pm

thanks helen. they're beads apparently. someone took a gorgeous pic for their ebay listing!

9:34 pm

But it wasn't them that fed any neo-hate I may have had as a child - it was the Japanese... what they did to my Godfather.

9:35 pm

congratulations lori!

9:35 pm

phand, first 5 letters of the er6 + **ta-jones (catherine)

9:35 pm

er7 rhymes with flies

9:35 pm

thnx

9:35 pm

But, having said that, I don't hate the Japanese now. We Brits just keep on with our silly pseudo war about cooking with the French.

9:36 pm

for putting me out of my misery

9:36 pm

lol phand!

9:36 pm

"Cooking with the French" could make a reality show that I might actually watch.

LOL enci

oh dear...only 8 words in and I have already resorted to using lickety's....not good for me

9:38 pm

Enci - that sounds fun. what chefs/cooks would you put up against each other? Would it be celebrities or celebs and unknowns?

9:38 pm

I must toddle off to bed. Thank you all for the help, and have a great evening!

9:38 pm

today is the festival of er or er or or or er. it is puzzling.

9:39 pm

Bet, me and my Paul would win! LOL.

9:40 pm

night lori!

9:41 pm

I would have random French cooks sent to live with British families and vice versa.

9:42 pm

Enci - bet you me and Paul could keep up with those random cooks!

9:42 pm

Where are you from, Enci? France?

9:42 pm

i prefer peasant fare in any country, you know, every day food. although i do appreciate a nice gourmet meal with well-prepared sauces and great desserts.

hmmm... culinary battle pitting the brits and franch? I gotta ay, I'd rather have Coq au vin over haggis any day.. or crepes over steak and kidney pie

;)

commercial... can I just say CONGRATS to any and all who finished this blasted grid!?!

9:43 pm

Hey, hold on, Haggis is the food of the Gods!!

9:44 pm

I like that too, Fran, but last so-called French restaurant I was in managed to overcook duck (not easy to do!) anf served me raw vegs.

lizmac, you should get out to eat more! LOL =)

9:44 pm

er, no, it's trolls that live under bridges, not gods....

9:44 pm

i want to try haggis at least once in my life

Uh och, Ah hae angered a highlander... guff!

9:45 pm

frankly, it doesn't sound that bad.

9:45 pm

Mushy vegs are not not nice! Raw begs are fine in salads. But the in between, for cooked meals, insn't something many cooks can achieve. I can! So can Paul!

9:45 pm

jac, no excuse for that!

fran... the lungs part would be tough for me... I have a hard time eating offal

9:45 pm

I pity your poor uneducated palates :)

9:45 pm

(i meant the french restaurant experience)

lizmac - uh, what gods are you talking about?

9:46 pm

ignorance can be bliss........

lol bj !

9:46 pm

smooth, my husband is filipino, offal figures into a lot of dishes.

9:46 pm

I think it is much tooo good for the gods good enough for us Scots though

hehe... liz, I mean no offense, but I gotta tell ya... haing eaten in 14 different countries, and cusinie from countless more, you'd be hard pressed to sell me on the culinary superiority of the UK. ;)

9:47 pm

help with the 1st HE 7 pls

9:47 pm

Nearly

9:47 pm

BJ - I agree with you re the ignorance. Hell! Isn't the world palate so wonderfully diverse?

9:47 pm

phand, plural mr. fonda

don't get me wrong fran, I've eaen my fair share of it... but were tghe choice offered to me, I would opt out.

9:48 pm

thnx again

9:48 pm

is liver offal?

9:48 pm

If it wasn't, we wouldn't have the plethora of recipes that we do have.

9:48 pm

Ummmmmm..only joking you lot, but I AM very fond of haggis!

9:48 pm

i'm not sure babs

hmmm, i have never tried haggis, but you gotta admit that it's got quite the bad reputation, but when i think of it, there is alot of 'weird' stuff that i really enjoy - liver, fish eggs, kidneys

9:48 pm

Babbler - yes, liver is offal.

9:48 pm

indeed, and no adventure to go with it. But I prefer to choose my adventures....

9:48 pm

there's a blog dedicated to offal, offaly good is what it's called.

9:48 pm

multiple kings of England He/7

technically yes, babbler... offal refers to internal organs that aren't muscle or bone

9:49 pm

I adore liver!

9:49 pm

most famous having many wives

9:49 pm

Never had till i came to Canada!!!

9:49 pm

me too babs and my favorite thing at Popeye's is the fried gizzards.

9:49 pm

Liver, onions and baby new potatoes with butter and mint...

9:49 pm

liver is nice when drowned in caramelized onions....

then - i LOVE offal, lol

9:49 pm

and fried livers.

9:49 pm

what are gizzards?

bj - ITA !

9:50 pm

Jacs, stop it. No drool protector on my keyboard....

though liz, I'd rather down a haggis than some of our own American southern farre, like chitlins or rocky mountin fried oyseters. lol

chicken livers

9:50 pm

gizzards are turkey guts.

9:50 pm

chicken gizzards, it's a muscular organ that grinds things i think

9:50 pm

yum, Jacs

9:50 pm

Okay, poultry guts.

9:50 pm

if you don't like SOuthern food- you haven't had my biscuits.

9:51 pm

And you miscry haggis, hmph!

smooth - i almost hate to ask - what are rocky mountain fried oysters? wait, does it start with a 'T'?

9:51 pm

not sure I've had gizzards. I've tried most things. Couldn't stomach stomach. :s

9:51 pm

well, it's one certain thing in the poultry.

9:51 pm

yes helen!

9:51 pm

I've never tried haggis. Always wondered about it.

enci... I do like some southern fare... my family is pure hillbilly from tennessee... damn good biscuits and gravy, and other dishs... but I still can't handle chitlins

9:51 pm

now, has anybody got any clues for all my missing CHs?

9:51 pm

that reminds me of the first family party i went to with my husband.

yes HK... bingo!

9:52 pm

my other half makes gravy out of gizzards. If I find them (gizzards) I just chuck them in 'Hunting Cat's' direction.

then i'm not ever even going to try those oysters, yuck!

9:52 pm

his nephews thought it would be "fun" to try to gross me out so they offered me a dish with pig "oysters"

and being from the north - what exactly are chitlins?

9:52 pm

le 5?

9:52 pm

i got a huge amount of points for actually trying them

hk... chitlins are fried pig intestines

poor, poor fran!

9:53 pm

i use the poultry liver for gravy. never though of using the gizzards.

9:53 pm

phand, worm-like insect that grabs on and sucks blood.

smooth - what do they taste like?

9:53 pm

le5/14 is a blood sucker

9:53 pm

Should have got that. Thnx

you guys are making me hungry! started thinking about the southern fare from my youth... gumbo... mmmm

9:53 pm

Much worse seeing them harvested?

hk... that's ough to describe... closest I can think of is fried crap. lol

9:54 pm

conversations usually turn to food here.... ; )

9:54 pm

Oysters

crawfish... mmmm

LOL smooth - can't says i've ever tried that either

9:54 pm

do you know, I've never tried oysters! love caviar though.

the preperation really grosses me out... having to "clean them by hand in between multiple washings

9:55 pm

True

boudin... mmmmm

9:55 pm

wow babs! i looove oysters.

babbler - 2 very different things - i love caviar, i hate oysters

9:55 pm

boudin?

9:56 pm

Praire oysters?

9:56 pm

love caviar too.

i hate oysters, but i love snail, maybe if oysters were made with a nice garlic butter sauce & you could chew them & if they tasted like snails, then i might like them

9:56 pm

they lifted the ban on russian caviar this year, but beluga is still not allowed to be harvested, they are still too endangered.

9:56 pm

I'm sure i've tried snails, with garlic butter

boudin, delicious cajun dish... rice, pork, spices

raw oysters are disgusting... but if you fry them 'til they're "dry"... they are almost palatable

9:57 pm

OR 8?

9:57 pm

no, raw is the best way ml.

boudin is gross, tastes too strongly of liver... but andouille is wonderful, as is tasso

9:57 pm

phand, or + re7 minus the T

you've had bad boudin metal!

nope, tried two raw oysters... the first because I never had... the second to see if they were all as horrid as the first

have never been tempted, or foolish, enough to try the third

9:58 pm

fo 6 -- have plural musical volume

9:58 pm

speaking of food, gotta get dinner going, see you all in a little bit.

have had boudin a few times... just don't like the liver taste

9:58 pm

nan, "enemy" + "small hill"

in my opinion some of the tastiest foods come from central america...all the peppers, meats, and flavors! close (if not equal) middle eastern/central asian... those are flavors you just don't ind elsewhaere

9:59 pm

CH8/50, not the fruity one, any clues?

9:59 pm

and last fo6 is lend me $10 bucks, i'm good fo* ** (then double the R)

9:59 pm

bye!

and many non-offal offerings. ;)

i went to the ussr in 1988 - there i met a bunch of people in their 20's whose main job was to sell american tourists caviar & cuban cigars - 2 of them befriended my sister & i & took us all over leningrad, paid for everything (cause they were loaded!) gave us lots of caviar & cigars to take home (for free) & all they wanted in exchange was to know everything about american anything - music, politics, education, class system, jobs, clothes --- it was an amazing 'exchange' program!

9:59 pm

thanks, fran

9:59 pm

I guess I don't have that re 7; is it the last one?

9:59 pm

bye fran

10:00 pm

more like ch 5/14

sounds awesome HK! I spent 3 months in russia at the turn of the millenium.. not nearly the same environment as when you went, but an amazing country nonetheless

10:00 pm

by fran

10:01 pm

which re7?

10:01 pm

Bye fran

10:01 pm

The last one

10:01 pm

smooth - it was crawling with people in uniform when i was there

10:02 pm

fo6? -- between ahead and frontier settlement

heh... yeah, a totally different environment... though the remnents were still so visible! the hammer and sicle on everything, the lenin statues,e tc...

10:03 pm

what is the he 7 next to the six-wived kings?

10:03 pm

smooth - i've had 2 MAJOR breath-taking experiences in my life: 1) the first time i saw the rocky mountains, 2) seeing the hammer & sickle flying over the kremlin, lit up at night -- not sure why, but it really was breathtaking!

heh... I can imagine!

10:04 pm

I think, since reading the chatlog back, after being away talking to my son, that I may be sick if I read any more raw sea food stuff.

one of mine was climbing a volcano before it blew. lol thugh it didn't blow big

10:04 pm

he 7: one who has a fortune left to them (usually preceded by 'in')

10:04 pm

so does anyone have a clue for the last re 7?

10:04 pm

smooth - when you were there, were the shelves full, cause they were very empty in many stores when i was there

10:04 pm

fo6? -- between ahead and frontier settlement

10:05 pm

phan - last re7 = attempted again.

10:05 pm

thanks, nan!

10:05 pm

thnx

10:05 pm

No, I meant atempts again.

mostly full... I was in Nizhni Novgorod (it was called Gorki whle you were there) but being a large city the democracy had really taken a foothold, so stores were full of product... either insanely cheap or way overpriced.

10:05 pm

like a weasily rodent with an o for an e

10:05 pm

you got it anyway,phan. x

10:06 pm

ch8/50, not fruity one, PLEASE. I promise not to mention haggis again.

10:06 pm

is that the fo 6, enci?

actually the stores were pretty expensiv... the markets were dirt cheap

10:06 pm

yes

10:06 pm

nan, try "there's just no hope fo* **" with a double letter in the middle

10:06 pm

thank you -- got it!

the stores had a lot of american products that were waaaaay expensive... the grocery stores though were fairly comparable to here, though... but still a lot cheaper

10:07 pm

back!

10:07 pm

Tnned hagggis is disgusting! Fresh haggis is fine.

10:07 pm

rice is cooking and you won't believe what hubby brought home for dinner.

10:07 pm

LOL smooth - russians, a funny bunch -- when i was there, the hotels (which were only open to people with foreign passports & their 'guests') were totally capitalistic - lotsa products & gambling, lots of slot machines - i wasn't expecting that

10:07 pm

oysters?

10:08 pm

fe 5? -- have senses and stink

10:08 pm

Fran - what?

10:08 pm

fish?

10:08 pm

chicken?

10:08 pm

haggis?

10:08 pm

TY Jacula for your fine observation....too true.

10:08 pm

a deer?

10:08 pm

he brought filipino food, one of the dishes is called dinaktakan

10:09 pm

sounds like a good pairing, fran

HA! I stayed in a hotel for only a couple of nights... but it was looking rundown... like it hadn't seen any business since you had been there. lol but it was HUGE! I mean, bigger than I was expecting... something like 20 or 30 floors, and each floor probably had a good 75 rooms... I mean... it was BIG! and There just weren't that many people there... although, that may have been due to the fact that it was january. lol

10:09 pm

it's all the "spare parts" of the pig like snouts, ears and such along with some meat, mixed with brains.

10:09 pm

Which is what, Fran? (Don't make me Google!)

10:09 pm

oh -----yukk!

10:10 pm

it has kind of a vinegary taste, i like it

10:10 pm

Bleurgh!

10:10 pm

I thought that was called dog food, fran!

10:10 pm

nan - still loving your icon!

10:10 pm

now,That is Really revolting

10:10 pm

ty helen -- one of my brighter moments!

10:11 pm

don't knock it till you've tried it

10:11 pm

It's what we in UK call Bruan or brawn, Fran. Never tasted it myself but the men in my family like it.

10:11 pm

fe 5? -- have senses and stink

10:11 pm

hi, can i please get a clue for the se6?

10:11 pm

cute icon nan!

10:11 pm

10:12 pm

no -- do now! thanks

10:12 pm

thanks cybernan

10:12 pm

lol smooth - yeah, i get it, january is definitely the OFF-season there, hahaha - hey, did they still have the "watcher" - there was a person stationed on every floor near the elevators that kept track of everyone's comings & goings

10:12 pm

ramix - Hi. se6 = a wave caused by seismic disturbance. Looks a bit like Hitler's 3rd Re*** plus a vowel.

10:12 pm

fran - that just sounds B-A-D bad!

10:13 pm

Which is where all of this discussion began on here,. I think!

nah hk... couldn't afford to kpay dsomeone like that, and the government sure didn't seem to care... seemed odd... being in a city that so many people died trying to get into. lol it was even closed to Russians without proper authorization during the cold war.

10:14 pm

hk, it's really not that bad, people that don't know think the brains are mayonnaise.

10:15 pm

fe 6/27 x2, fe 6/33 --- what fe 6 am I missing, please?

10:15 pm

oh fran!

10:55 pm

big sigh - feel better now

10:55 pm

i'm with you helen!!

10:55 pm

^5 ramix!

10:56 pm

for some reason the ts are killing me

10:57 pm

yeah - see, that's the killer, there aren't any weird words in the t's at all - they're mostly all normal words we see all the time - it's something about the layout of these letters that's making it so confusing

10:57 pm

which fish would you like?

10:58 pm

haha...slap me with snaky fish e/5

10:59 pm

LOL

11:00 pm

back, done with dinner.

11:00 pm

hk, i heard you hate this grid.

11:00 pm

so sorry to hear that fran, :p

11:00 pm

ah fran...i neeeeeeeeeeeeed you

11:00 pm

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - 3 to go

11:00 pm

what do you need ramix?

11:01 pm

2 c's dunno which, 3 t's dunno which 1e dunno which

11:01 pm

ramix needs t's, but i told her they were all regular words - i offered up a fish :)

11:02 pm

do you have ec4/6?

11:02 pm

well, there, that narrows it down quite a bit

11:02 pm

ramix - try to add some e's & r's to those letters, LOL

11:02 pm

hk, cute icon

11:02 pm

lol helen

11:02 pm

aha..i dont hace ec

11:03 pm

tx fran - flosey & i chose the exact same one :)

11:03 pm

Cs, 2 x CE, 11 x CH, 5 x Ci, 2 x CR

11:04 pm

ramix, ec is like what you hear if you shout from a mountain, change last vowel

11:04 pm

see - this is what i'm talking about - has just taken me forever to find ch5/20 . . . WHY????

11:04 pm

aha...need a ch and a ci

11:04 pm

hk, ch7 is comparative of that.

11:04 pm

yeah - that one was MUCH easier to figure out, haha

11:05 pm

ok the monkeying for ec/4 isnt working!!

11:05 pm

ch8, ch5, ch8, ch5, ch7, ch5, ch6, ch5 x 2, ch6, ch4

11:05 pm

ramix - what you would hear in the grand canyon, but change the last vowel

11:05 pm

ec + ** not she

11:06 pm

hellllooooo ........ hellloooooooo ....... helllloooooo

11:06 pm

well i'll be ec4/5'd!

11:06 pm

ci4, ci5, ci4, ci5 x 2

11:07 pm

need that last ch6 and the first ci5 i think

11:08 pm

well, the lake oscillation was an elusive one, at least for me this evening. it was my last.

11:08 pm

last ch6, add a vowEl to the ch5/14 before it.

11:08 pm

that was my last one too ml!

ineedhelp

11:09 pm

first ci5 is ci + double consonant (yes, that one) + a vowel

11:09 pm

for a smaller grid, this one was a prolonged one, at least for me

11:10 pm

danke fran...now to tackle those elusive ts and r

11:10 pm

what do you need chrisnmel?

11:10 pm

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

11:19 pm

chrisnmel, look at "lickety's babble clues" in the links below the grid, that should help you out.

11:19 pm

that first re5/16,

11:19 pm

also, "angelsong's babble page" is very useful.

11:20 pm

ramix, sounds like tripped again

11:20 pm

or took a tumble again

11:20 pm

and it's an ri 6/24, not the more moneyed

11:20 pm

ramix, to make more moneyed, change the last letter

11:21 pm

woot...now i gotta figure out the re tumble

11:22 pm

ramix, take an E out of the touch again re6

11:22 pm

yah...down to the last 2!!!

11:41 pm

Fran and Nonnie your seashells are beautiful

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

fran -- hadn't refreshed and now I see your lovely lacy shell -- what is it?

11:42 pm

and Mirand you can keep the snow - it is beautiful from afar hahahaha

11:42 pm

ty faerie

11:42 pm

Oh Jill your shell is pretty also

11:42 pm

jilli, i lost the name, but it's some kind of scallop i think

11:42 pm

hahahaha, Faerie--more on the way tomorrw!

11:42 pm

boo hoo -- faerie doesn't like my shell -- weep!

11:43 pm

11:43 pm

I like all the shells

11:43 pm

Jill my Mom had a shell like yours and we loved holding to our ear to listen to the ocean when we were kids :)

11:43 pm

Hi Tiny

11:44 pm

found that re 5/16--cat has one paw on my hand. very hard to type.

11:44 pm

me too, tiny--I think they'll all beautiful, it was difficult for me to choose last night.

11:44 pm

they'll = they're

11:44 pm

I like all the shells too, tactful Tiny!

11:44 pm

I can't decide which shell pic to use for tomorrow...

11:44 pm

we all had that problem ml

11:44 pm

LoL Mirand - kittys are good typist if you will just turn it lose

11:44 pm

yeah me too but I went different

11:45 pm

I'll do a fashion show and get your input, okay?

11:45 pm

okay ml

11:45 pm

Hi Metal *waiting for fashion show*

11:45 pm

better than monkeys?

11:45 pm

second fe6,27 anyone?

11:46 pm

OK-strut your stuff, metal

11:46 pm

metal -- Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday and I didn't think it started so soon!

11:46 pm

well I'm not sure if kitty's are better than Monkeys but you could give it whirl LOL

11:46 pm

you mean fo6/27 zabeth? "enemy" + "small hill"

11:47 pm

sorry, wrong one, keep looking fo* **, you'll find it (double the R though)

11:48 pm

ok, here's the first one... lots of colors, but perhaps a bit garish?

11:48 pm

faerie -- forgive me, but the plural of kitty is kitties. Kitty's is a possessive, meaning something that belongs to a kitty.

11:49 pm

i like that ml, it's different with several shells instead of one big one.

11:49 pm

ahh. yes. i did mean fo, fran. but i'm stumped. 12 minutes remaining and my brain is frying.

11:49 pm

It is bright metal

11:49 pm

true enough jilli.... but king Cake season has already started and it is a decidedly important part of the pre Mardi Gras time here in south Louisiana

11:49 pm

lotsa lovelies, metal...

11:49 pm

i never shy away from bright myself.

11:50 pm

ok, here comes the next one

11:50 pm

zabeth, fo + double consonant (the one we have lots of) + take ** to the limit

11:51 pm

zabeth you have to look fo* ** but use double r

11:51 pm

King Cake? Roi Gateau?

11:51 pm

Oh Metal that is beautiful

11:51 pm

that's pretty too ml, and it goes with your love of food.

11:51 pm

Jilli--maybe Faerie meant Kitty's (paws)

11:51 pm

my vote...keep looking, metal

11:52 pm

42 away --- i think i'm not finishing tonight

11:52 pm

here's the next in line

11:52 pm

metal -- shelly King Cake?

11:52 pm

Ummmmm Mirand your exactly right LOL

11:52 pm

hi debbs!!

11:52 pm

hi debb!

11:52 pm

11:53 pm

11:53 pm

11:53 pm

Metal how are we suppose to chose they are all so pretty

11:53 pm

11:53 pm

11:53 pm

uhh--that would be you're, faerie--unless you meant "your (thought) was right."

11:53 pm

wow debb! that's a long time.

11:53 pm

you understand my dilemma then

11:54 pm

Debb - Sad or Happy

11:54 pm

on to the next... back in a few

11:54 pm

ml, i vote for #1 because it's different

11:54 pm

I like the last one best so far, metal

11:54 pm

me too, jill

11:54 pm

only sad cause i was working with one of my closest dearest friends - but THRILLED to be away from bossman

11:55 pm

great, debb! Now what?

11:55 pm

thanks for correcting my grammar Mirand *blush*

11:55 pm

11:58 pm

it's an X-ray of a checkered bonnet

11:58 pm

at least it's NL, debb

11:58 pm

debb, you might want to keep your Mets mug and two foot banner at home now.

11:58 pm

:-)

11:58 pm

true - i'm really excited -- it's baseball

11:58 pm

you're right - and have to change my im icon

11:59 pm
