Whose initials, westford?
absolutely right jilli
the colorful family member JC
Oh, well yes - but I'm not my own relative, so I'll have to choose someone else in the family! My mum, why not? ;)
I can't text it pains me to use abbreviations and incorrect punctuation
She was a probation officer, until she retired - she's colourful in her own way! ;)
we had a 7 month old baby shook to death over the weekend here
we have some good ones but no pictures
Oh no, how horrible, cherty! :(
not good, cherly ... sad

they are trying to decide if going to charge step dad with murder or just extreme bodily injury
JC she sounds like a pistol
yep
sounds good, JC -- let's meet Mum!
You've seen her before, Jilli - but OK, let me post a photo of her.
* votes for extreme bodily injury AND prison *

Yes, west, but there's more -- he fell for the housekeeper in Germany and tried to get rid of my grandmother by having her committed by a panel of his German-speaking pals.
phantom: sanitary
I see did she get even?
She was rescued by her Aussie brother and went to the States. His kids hated him.
OK, Jilli - added the photo and a note about it.
Good, JC -- will check...
need an A from 4th column and i from 2nd column!
* hrmph * why isn't UFOS a word? ( * snicker * )
Oh my god, Jilli - erm yes, that's rather 'colourful' all right. :/

Most of the words i have gotten are 4 and 5 letters long
not sure, DR
mlf...I called ur7 x 2 if that helps...
Jill how long is that word?
Pinik ROTFL Guess what?
afternoon all :))
un4/6, herin
MR P!!!
Morning, mrp . . .
hi mrp!
THey showed the last 5 episodes of Fosters on Sunday
hello mrp
hi DR! JC! Jilli! et al :)
I thought of you
hi mrp
I am watching a documentary on cheerleading in the USA... wow! scary
hi pini :))
competitive mp huh?
DR how has the weather been there today?
Pini????????
87 MLF
I like the story of the mother who put a contract out on another cheerleader and her mom
yes, mlf?
DR I think you all are going to have rain coming your way
that's classic
competative, crazy! It is a way of life!! It is an olympic sport in my eyes! These people are amazing, but the injuries and mental anguish etc is so hard
(scrolled back, mlf) What????
would be nice- we are going to be on water rationing in July
Pini shortly after you told me about that UR 7 i found one of them!
There is no governing body for the cheerleaders, so they have no safety standards...
West wasnt that made into a tv movie??
* smile *
i guessed
yes it was
erk stupid net
yes and its more gymnastics than cheerleading anymore
make sure you get the sister-word, mlf
west hmm kellie martin and tori spelling if i am not mistaken?
cheerleading has become theatre... it is a sport that imitates dolls
Actually there is regulations on basket tosses and such now
they are not allowed to do sexually suggestive moves either... but there is still no governing body for their safety
Isn't there a National Cheerleading Assocation (at least at the collegiate level)?
Thanks pini thought they might be similar just havent found it yet and theirs a 3rd as well
http://www.nationalspirit.com/
I guess so pini, but they have no regulations on the safety standards
there's
thx mlf...will look in the morning...must be off to bed now...
mrp then they shouldnt wiggle theri butts lol
Aww okay good night Pinik
they have alot of spotters tho, mrp! (people standing by to help "catch" if needed, but not part of the team)
the practise sessions are carried out on a concrete basketball court... etc... no nets, no mats... it is darn scary.
cy'all tmw!!! nighty night!
nighters pini!
Pinik yeah they have had spotters for a while now
GNIGHT Pini
mrp really????
gn pini sleep well
and happy brownie
night pini, need to find an a and will have nbt, then off to bed wth me too
yes MLF, that is what needs to be addressed.
hi west :)
What cracks me up is some of the mental capacity. Light bulb vacant etc. I loved watching ESP cheerleading and one of the routines started with Marilyn Mansons Beautiful people Talk about not smart since about people like them
That is beyond scary
hi
UM Mr pres
http://aacca.org/
so what is that infern?? and hi :)
http://aacca.org/
more and more schools are making up rules for protection, our uil in texas has such rules, but not alot of states have them
herin some of their music sure is suggestive i even heard te song Push it or at least partial duing one of the cheerleaders routines in a competition once
Texas is the only state with the rules in place
There is rules and ruglations. that is the American Association of Cheerleading
cheerleaders are pop culture icons! Synonomous with popularity... they are willing to risk their lives though.
problem is those rules are antiquated and so many new moves are not covered by them
infern, there is no governing body to those rules
That is the 09 Guidelines.
i see a lot of moves over and over. i am a bit bothered with soem of the outfits they wear
then maybe they are finally waking up to issue
Puts on lawyer hat. But at that age they should be responsible for their safety too.
indeed MLF... it is very controvertial especially amongst the young children
yep, but alot of kids think it will look good for scolarships to have difficult moves
thats something else mrp why do they have younger cheerleaders like those under the age of say 13???
They push the envelope every year in the national championships!!
meh.
kids get scholarships for cheerleading?
sure do mrp
yes its a sport over here
they have cheerleaders in primary school... 8 years old etc... and their culture is very much around being pretty and popular... and sexual to some.
they sure do and for twirling too
I don't ahve much respect for a culture that has an appearance of ZERO brains and an intolerance for others that aren't them
What has cheerleading got to do with scholarship? What's happened to the meaning of words?
boys and girls take it
here's a good one they want to make pole dancing an olympic sport
sn 5/18
west ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ok - With that I am going to bed
I still have one BT -- that A in the 4th column
don't know jilli! I don't know why you can get a scholarship for basketball, football, etc...
ru7/32
leaving 100 for tomorrow
I know ML when hell freezes over
I get the same icky feeling watching cheerleaders that I get watching overly made-up little girls in beauty contests, yuck!
have a nice sleepybye DR :)
ty for the sn ruru
indeed rbud
night DR :)
west i mean that stuff isnt exactly a sport lol
night dr
is there a ruuster in the room??
gnight Jilli and MR P
sy7/8 combo if it hasn't been called..
dream of las olas DR and have some rain
sy 8
night Cherly
sorry if i seem so negative
ty aloy
I thought I heard a cock a doodle doo mrp
* Snore*
yes well its come a long way from when I was cheerleader in highschool
hi jilli mrp all
rbud i agree the make up and outfits are overdone but at least the cheerleaders do what they want and make up theri own minds the pagentry younger girls are practically forced to look and be better
cock-a - doodle doooo mr. p
kids join the teams at the age of 5!!! ... training 20 hours + a week on average!! Holy Heck!! That is a lot on a physical level and dangerous at that young age.
phantom: assasin
rbud and they even have cheerleading for girls aboutt the same ages they do in the pagents
what are you talking about mr. p..my head has been in the grid
thought about that one too ru
yes, ruru, and I tried assassinate too
mrp cheerleading at age 5 what for though???
I am not saying that for all cheerleaders that it is dangerous, but it is dangerous for at least 30% of them physically...
ruru i thought it was in the grid lol
for the little boys football teams
MLF, the parents put them in from 3-5 years in a mini team.
so ridiculous
they call it superteam and they do parades and pep rallies here in texas
the only thing dangerous about cheerleaders are their fake boobs
and sometimes their mothers lol
Some teams lose perspective on the children... some coaches are way over the top and forget about the fun aspect of it.
they could knock your eye out ruru
sp7 ..
yeah.. that too
mrp competitive edge
lol, ru! they get black eyes jumping up and down!
can you hear that rain??
oh ruuster, did you hear about the court case here about a guy who sued a stripper for wacking him in the face with her false boobs??
their bodies move but their boobs don't
nope.
weapons of classless destruction!
cheerleading and such jut make me cranky so ill sit back
lol
lol
some of the mothers get over competitive and become real as6
west been there done that today and twice at that
hear hear, mrp!
exactly cherly
was she arrested for assault and boobery?
cranky herin?
LOL !!
lol ruru!
*** titters at his joke ***
what ML the rain?
oops as5s
yes west:)
oh dear -- carry ruru away
It pisses me off quite frankly that footballers and cheerleaders get god status
it's awful
MLF, she doesn't wanna discuss it... that is cool! I wonder if there is a stigma placed on boys and men who do cheerleading?
you will all be pleased to know I finally got a u word from the bottom center
yes..
what else does a school have when they dont have it academically?
YEAH westie
that u is done for me
curtsey for ruru
mrp more then likely they get teased and they are considered gay
I seem to remember seeing some college guys cheefully cheerleading at Syracuse U in 1940
Mr Pres with Weapons of Classless distruction would that relate to Jordon?
show off lol
lol
at least it was a 7 letter one
jill they still do
and why does Austria look so close to Australia then i get excited that a band is visiting and they aren't
they were not teased then
And what's wrong with being gay? ;)
not one thing!
nothing J.c
absolutely nothing is wrong with it
Nothing to us, but....
unless you are on the View
:P
what about the View ruru?
there is nothing wrong JC
remember the little trolls who would appear here and call each other gay, and us too, as if there were something wrong with it?
there was that dumb blond ranting about gay marriages yesterday
Flippin' heck - it took me long enough to see to4,8! I eat enough of it . . .
Oh I saw that... she says she is 'biblically correct'
ty JC
thanks for that to4, JC!
HAHA, Jilli - I would say 'Yes - so I am, and what of it?'
Oh that was the beauty queen good on her for having an opinion but its just that.
ruru Elisabeth???
yes jilli! they drove me nuts!
You're welcome, westford and Jilli . . .
Have an opinion and a valid argument and you may get respect.
need an a to nbt, still
has anyone got that A in the 4th column?
she is fighting with Perez Hilton... it is quite pathetic the attention she is getting for it.
vroom vroom cherl
thats the one I need jilli
jill is it the one by the F?
Who Mr p?

morning all
hey, sprite :-)
been up since 3:00am . . . had horrible horrible nightmare about snakes and am afraid to go back to sleep :-(
aw darling! Try airing your bedroom and leaving on a light.
believe me, lights are definitely staying on!
bad nightmares are so bone-chilling and so real for the subconcious :(
indeed . . .
on a different subject, did anyone hear the NPR segment last week on Frank Baum who wrote The Wizard of Oz?
do you have something like an aurasoma spray or a very light perfume that you really really like? If so, spray a bit over your bed. It helps soothing your senses.
The wicked witch was based on his mother in law! LOL
sorry, not me. ROFLOL!
hey y'all..saturn isn't in the dictionary, wonder why?
proper name
hi M!M, I think because it is a name and must be capitalised. Nice find though.
thank ya!
red boxes of doom here :(
finally! Glad to be back...
it was just you, sprite :-)
your very own red box assortment pack!
now that is what I call SPAM
sprite, I was trying to distract myself from the snake nightmare by glancing over world news items and . . . stumbled onto an article about global warming causing some carnivorous spiders to increase in size -- AAACCCKKK!!
eeeek Une, silly! There is never anything calming about world news. Try a site about errr.... baby animals. Baby names (Ata knows a good one). Bees and birds and flowers and trees. Landscapes.
Hi Sprite & Une
hey lyn :)
hey, lynxxx :-)
yes, sprite -- think I'll go look at zooborns for awhile -- such a charming site . . . byeeee
bye Une
very wise. *hugs* and know that I am chasing away all bad dreams from your bedroom now!
thanks, sprite :-)
and as my kids would tell you: no bad dreams dare linger when I say they cannot ;)
huzzah, i finished the u's on my own
good for you
yay and I found the 8
i haven't found the 8 or the 9 yet
find the 8, you find the 9
the 8 is a nice one to find, a real word.
a

no it's a
thanks lyn. Weird that there is no 2nd 8 then.
I agree
now that's another word I never see - ir5
same here. So tough to spot, for some reason. Like asea and ocean.
i miss erst. every single time
unless it's the only one on a tile or something
oh yes, that one too.
oh, there's the 8
wtg josh, nice one isn't it
it is indeed
is the 9 related to the 8?
very much so
first cousins

lyn clued it a few minutes ago
hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you. How's today developing for you?
oh, duh
Hello, sprite. The picture is good.
am glad for that
You should finish this grid in two attosecond. An attosecond is one quintillionth (10 -18 ) of a second and is a term used in photon research.
hi BabRab
I would love to see attosecond and quintillionth in a grid!
Hello, lyn
What is the little lion doing now, sprite?
helping my husband digging up roots and weeds from the garden
'helping' should be taken with some liberty
back soon, need something to eat
back with brunch. It is quiet in chat!
I'm only half here

Hiya Lori
Also, bonus: no re's
yes, let's be thankful for small blessings
there is, however, a dis, though I don't know yet if there are any words from it
Well, I defeated the evil un's, sister of evil re's if you ask me.
I can't tell you how long I spent trying to convince the grid that assassinate was in it!
that last a is driving me nuts
lol who won, you or the grid? :)

So typical :(
you'd think that sometimes it would compromise, but noooooo
Yep, it's a formidable opponent.

Exactly .
Tackling the s'sssss and I hate 'em already.

dont have it, cher, just started
yaa just got those 2 sy,s:)
hi flosey and annie
2009 is my year for that too, Crossy. I cleared out one closet already.

connection between nerve cells
(sy7 and 8)
i think une has it right
:-D
Yep, Une is right. Some people have few sy's too.
Oooh, sy8 is there!
the sy ends in a recess in a church
morning, all . . . and I'm off for coffee . . . BBL :-)

well I'll come back later when all the office people have settled in. High-speed my assssssssss
I am stumed . I need a clue for as 9. But also I am mssing an A 6 word, but there is no blank in lickety's list. Did he forget a word?
Inge, it is possible that a word went into the list and not the grid. Happens to me quite often. My list reads 225, same as the grid.
AS9 builds off of the SY7-8 combo....think of nerves in the brain + chemicals firing in there...
theres AF6/27 in the grid.
OK, trying for the as 9. The other a word checked in.
There. I've updated myself for today's icon theme.
Stuck on the as 9. Is the first consonant doubled?
AS9 builds off of the SY7-8 combo
And it's plural ONLY
uni -- lori IS very colorful in your icon. ;)
I cannot find a word that starts with as and adds sy
you just stick an A in front of the SY8.
only one s
I'm sure she will be impressed. I think it's gorgeous.
a true likeness, im sure. :)
I got firewords. Thnask Eva

Hello cait ((()))
Today seems to be a lovit or hate it grid with no inbetween
I vote hate.
I mostly hate it. It's poopy.
Gravitating to the hate it camp ..
There are some really strange words........so hate from me
I guess FM is all alone in the love crowd :) **Becomes own crowd of those who love FM.
I love FM, just hate the grid!
After forgetting loads of plurals the moneys made up for it n the main.*monkeys doh ol you guys
Is one a crowd?
I feel crowded, so yes. Plus, Emma is on my side.
Ack! There's an s next to the t. When did that happen? ***sigh***

Hee hee. Just got the sn5,18. Didn't figure it would work.
Oooh, don't have THAT either. ***looking***
The military acronym. Our lives. Whatever.
Thanks my dear!
Just the 5 ru's?

Oooh, thanks again Uni!
I was amazed when the sn5/18 took too Uni.
Oh babble froze on me then........anyone else had that problem?
Reboot worked out? Babble has been normal for me today so far *knock wood
It has been a bit laggy today.

Of course I'm alive. I can never be vanquished!
Missing what I hope is a 6/7 combo. More than 1 in the sa's?
How are you and the cogs?
yes there are 2 sets Lori
All is swell here, of course! We had our teacher conferences for the cogs and they are every bit as og as we suspected.
Wheeeeee Muchos grassyass FM. The game is afoot
Open Studios show was the worst ever - hmm, guess the economy isn't so great. has anyone else heard a rumor about that or something? lol
lol Vi glad to hear they are still shining. Oh was going to ask about the open studio, sorry to hear that :(
The economy's fine. Just buy a new car and go shopping. Stop being silly
Well, as long as I more than break even, anything else is just bonus. So I'm not worried.
With that as your attitude, Lori, allow me to direct you to my web site where there are a number of lovely pieces for your shopping pleasure! =D
breaking even these days is aspirational talk!
=P
It's so nice to see your smiling face.... er, sunflower again, FM!
: D Vic
omg..i found the 8 all by myself
Go, rolin!
Thank you, it is cheery isn't it. yay rolin!
Yea for rolin!
Hurrah!
Done. ;)
Yay for Uni!
Is the 'U' word starting at the top tile uncommon?
cognacs, uni!
Oh congrats Uni!!
With that, I are outta' here, gotta' do some non cleaning related things. (as I'd do cleaning related things)
Congratulations Uni!
Bye dear :)
You should go read. I am watching Buffy for the next hour before I leave for work. Take care all!
un4 - any of several iguanid lizerds... I'd never heard of it.
Yes, it is Tak. Later gators!
Farewell, Lori!
lizards, even.
ah, thanks guys - I think I'll leave that tile alone for a little bit ;) ciao lori!
How are your various plans percolating for you, FM?
aha! it's also the name a famous actress!
Is it?
well, the plural is ;)
Crossword clue could be "Actress Hagen and others"
so far so good Vi but am hoping to have some really good news by end of the weekend, will let you know.
Don't know her. Ah well, I'm no movieman!
Oh, yes, keep me posted, please! And I'll cross various digits for you.
thanks all crossed digits much appreciated
I'll braid my hair for you, as well. =)
now thats a good idea!
Must go and attend to some emails but will be partly lurking if clues are needed. Lovely to see you Vi :)
Man, this grid is slow going.
Bye, dear!
Bye hun!
Are the 'I' words starting at the left tile uncommon?
I don't have either of them yet, so I'm going to say, "Yes, they must be fiendishly obscure!"
in+ heavenly body and pl
hello all
heavenly bodies that twinkle :)
Thanks, peri. Maybe not as bad as I predicted! lol

hey well done cyber
On my way -- think it's finally "warm" enough that I can go and get some bedding plants.
i have 4 left
ok babblers, i have (what i guess is) an etiquette question for ya...
eva,i use the salad fork for those emergency back itches and not the dinner fork:)
hah, sorry crossy, this is a baby shower question.
ahh ..hehe
I think babies should never shower alone
any guys out there can e-mail me for pointers on picking up ladies at baby showers and how not got get injured in the process;)
Try www.establishyourselfny.com, she is the ettiquette expert alot of the fortune 500 companies and diplomate use. She will usually answer your questions very promptly
hi all thanks for the laughs crossy and bab
howdy westford;)
picking up ladies, aren't you married [happily]?
eva what's the question?
err..im just using my past ..very past experience..yea..thats it
hi West
hi lyn
been deep in the grid just looked at the chat when I saw the comments lol
ok, so, i knwo generally people have a shower for their first pregnancy + not after that. but is it "socially acceptable" to have another shower for your 3rd pregnancy if the first 2 were girls + the 3rd is a boy?
absolutely
those hand me down won't do
BBL
well,westford,you see the salad fork,while it does have shorter tines it is superior for back scratches as the time are a tad more blunt than the average dinner fork.so embarrasing fork puncture questoins can be avoided at the E.R
tines even
thats news to me. i thought you got one shower, and thats it...
I understand crossy I like the dinner fork because the handle is generally longer
how far apart are the babies?
di 7/32?
but it is bad form at baby showers....
Eva- that is considered totally acceptable these days
i have always thought it was one shower per couple, no matter how many babies
lets see....her first daughter turns 7 this year and her second daughter is 3, i think.
pythonx -- thats the rule i always knew.
so she must still have the big items like crib and stroller
di + plural letter + the maount of your mortage is dependent on the interest ****
amount**
ty bubba
alot of items can be reused whatever the baby's sex
I had a shower for each of my children. First was a girl, second was a boy- they were 20 months apaprt, so I mostly got boy clothes and boy items
baby showers can get costly if the mother 'registers' all big ticket items
that's true python for the most part
and in the end,if momma wants a showr for her baby let her have a baby shower.i mean whats going to happen the excess baby shower police are going to come and tear gas the place?? lol
My d.i.l. is expecting a boy this time and she thinks the ideas of a second shower is funny
life is to enjoy so do it :)
usually someone else gives the shower sometimes it's a surprise
Many times it is because the mom's friends want to throw her a shower. And you aren't necessarily obligated to buy a gift, just send a nice card
no the police won't come, but she may come off as greedy to others
Thanks bubba..been looking for that one a long time
eva how close are you to the mother will you be expected to attend?
the whole point of the baby shower is that the couple has nothing for a baby, so you are showering them with the things they need. all they dont have now, are "boy" clothes. to me, it just seems like they are begging for gifts. strikes me as a little tacky... (i received the invitation from the mother-to-be's mother.)
mm perhaps python..theese things can be a mystery to us menfolk:/
this is my best friend. so yeah, i pretty much have to attend.
It *IS* poor etiquette for a close family member to have the shower though
and she's sure it's a boy? my cousins dil was having a boy ( her third child) who turned out to be another girl
crossy, you wouldn't believe some of the plotting that goes into showers these days.
as a guy with a baby on the way all i knew was to say goodbye to any positive cash flow for many years;/
If without any suggestion from the parents a friend decides to hold a second shower are the parents obligated to say they will not participate?
so true crossy
i DO know it is "bad etiquette" for family members to throw the shower. i threw her first baby shower.
the shower should be given by friends or relatives like aunts or cousins
sorry eva, didn't mean to suggest you didn't know that :-) was just saying that was the bigger breach of etiquette :-)
are you kidding bab? grandparents would have to participate
lol seems like less planning went into d-day than what planning and back room meeting that go on for baby showers lol
and would want to
eva has she said anything to you "like boy another shower would be great" but personally I think it is tacky
i have started to receive invites now that tell me I am expected to bring food and what food I should bring.
I said nothing of grandparents
you didn't? let me scroll back
sorry mom, wasnt trying to imply that you were implying that. (reviews that statement in her own mind...)
hugs eva :-)
mea culpa bab you said parents
crossy slowly backs away as the mysteries of baby showers intensifies....
nope. i had no idea about another shower until today, when i got the invitation from her mother.
whoa python! that is bad!
have any of you heard that some people think it's bad luck to have a shower before the baby is born?
some people think a lot of things
crossy, the general rule is that in no way, shape, or form are you allowed to ask for gifts. you are not allowed to have your mother or siblings ask for gifts. if someone else wants to GIVE you gifts (thus, someone else throwing the shower), then that is ok.
i have heard that west, but I am not superstirious
are you getting grouchy?
that's for bab
it's not very convenient
it's nice to have everything set up before the baby come
comes*
men are simple creatures..we like a cold beer,maybe a good book or a good sunset over the lake by the cottage and a lovely lass leaning on yer shoulder so you can smell her clean hair smell while the sun goes down;)
aw Crossy
that's a beautiful picture
eva..sounds like those registy things i see every now and then..gift begging?
can i introduce you to my husband, so maybe you'll rub off on him crossy?
I imagine she's get lots of little boy outfits
shes my best friend, so im gonna get her a gift regardless. the whole "second shower" thing just really threw me for a loop...
she'll*
cross women would be simple creatures also enjoying the pleasures in life but we have to take care of men LOL
lol pythonx..my better half has been training me for 16 years lol
amen, speed
mm i think ive been bracketed:(
I once saw the best idea for a baby shower everyone brought food to be frozen for after the baby arrived
well 28 years later and mine is not trained. so either i'm a bad trainer or he's untrainable
neutering him make him alot more passive
we're going on 44 years and we have spaces in our togetherness
bubba lol
tried that bubba, didn't help
im thinking a good gift would be a 1000 dollar coupon for baby food and diapers;)
no kidding
or start a college fund
college is a loong ways away
Fireworks at last :-)
have to survive the baby first
babies are so precious and cute
are you getting judgmental?
thats like your parents putting you in thier will but your eating ketchup soup and cool-aid now;)
am I brain dead, or is this grid a tad on the difficult side?
congrats zoom
it is brutal magazine mom

I'm proud to be an American and all, but wow :-) the sound of freedom, huh?
LOL TSOF know it well
the sa 6/18 before that
TO are they those enormous cargo planes?

sa6: sa** french for without + symbol for a noble gas
(you know, i insinuate myself into these conversations and i have to remember that no one here knows that i'm an american by birth and still retain my citizenship (and canadian, too))
<-- remains patriotic to the red, white and blue
if you saw one of those you'd know it. no these are like commercial dc9 planes. but we are not an airport.
during the first gulf war they flew those in a flight path straight down the major thouroughfare onto post and they were low and freaking scary!
and we have had three crashes int he years i have lived here. no loss of civilian life
yay welki!
you must be speaking of the mh53K mm. hte big suckers
they were enormous
the air force base is about 50 miles from here, but for some reason they landed these at ft. sill
yepper. you should see one up close. or better yet, see the gearbox or rotorhead up close. huge

Well, now I have errr, 23.
Hello Babblers. Down to 7 and finding myself clue-less and cross-eyed. Anyone got a clue for the very first as5?
as 5/10 not the butts word?
lots to learn in that area, mag .. very important archeological sites
I guess it's the as 5/12 I need.
four free words using my surname (it's in my profile, o clever ones)
nm
got it.
done
phantom diurnal
*rushes to gwen's profile"
I was trying to think of how to clue it ruru. Glad yo got it.
wtg ruru !!! ~~~ !!!
Everything else I'm seeking is an sa! What a grid...
the an's are harsh
it's a pa**ful grid for sure
8hands ruru towel and a glass of wine*
sa5/16?
un5,16 please?
Sorry owl, that's one of the one's I dont' have.
un 5/16 two is bin***, one is un ***
TY rose, proves me blind LOL
i need the pa 4/5 and 5/12 - the set before mountain pa** ??
i don't understand your clue Rose
sa5 sa + a j*** of one's peers
or sa + The Sound and The F***
sammy, do you have pa4 that rhymes with fog, or roughing up new members of a frat?
Thanks Une!
yw! :-)
sa 7/28 (and 6/18 before it?)
sa4/4 + you buy a drink in a b**
Faith, a computer works on a bin*** system.
Does that help?
and plural
got it- thanks book doctor
a song with two parts is also bin*** -- take that ending and put it on the un***
8-D
Does anyone have the first as 5/12?
Never thought i wouild see fireworks on this one.... time for a vinegar compress-lol
as 5/12 snake + "to err ** human"
Une, I don't get it. Still trying tho.

WTG sammy!

thanks luv!
as + more than one 3.14
wtg sammysmom !!! ~~~ !!!
sa4/4 (french for "without") + you buy a drink in a b**
une, TY, finally got yer clue
congrats, sammysmom!
go, gwen! :-)
Me too, thank you Une. Now to find out what it means...
Not in the dictionary as far as I can tell.
:-D
une!
TO!
this game only has one dictionary inside it, so there are plenty of words it won't take, because they are in other dictionaries but not this one 8-(
ah, incorrect apostrophes -- a bane of my existence!
Yeah, I've noticed that. Sometimes I know it's a word but it's not deemed acceptable.
sa 5/14 (the one after the 7/28)?
Well, seems to be plenty of obscure words in this one....
ah, read the artciel?
read your icon :-)
What article to?
and I see similar goofs EVERY DAY . . . argghh!
url in my icon. g rated.
Got it by monkeying.
sa 5/14 = tree juice + ego and **
tx!
i keep a list of the unusual words this game accepts (and also the unusual words accepted by Bookworm, Wordsplay.net, and Facebook-Scramble)
we had a long discussion on it tuesday
sa 5/10 after indian dress?
I like to think I'm expanding my vocabulary by playing this game. Problem is later I can't remember those new words I learned. I'm going to start keeping a list.
for me, it's the misuse of "me" and "i" ... not an hour ago, i received an email from a high ranking poobah in my organization ... subject line: "Meeting with Sam and I"
sa + an act condemned by the church
need the last un6,24 - I have the unspoken word
welki, add to that the pervasive use of "myself" as in "John and myself" -- aacckk!
un + tear fabric?
that's it - thanks rose
sa 6/18? the one after talking back.
ughhhh .. yes, une, that's another one that makes me roll my eyes
i get annoyed when grammar nuts try to make people follow Latin rules for English, like English is based on Latin or something. It ain't LOL
Your very welcome.
example, gwen?
ooohhh, tongue in cheek . . . sorry! LOL
une, okay, here's one. you can't end a sentense with a preposition. NONSENSE
I be very tired :-)
Thanks Une. one left. 1!
and we isn't scholars .. well, at least i isn't
oh, you were serious
to5/6 please?tyu
une, another one, you can't split and infinitive. NONSENSE again
une, yep ==;-O
a hat, owl .. a french hat
If you mean to 5/16: to plus an english form of line, but shortened. Not a great clue, but maybe it'll work.
Ok I am now just over Half way....
if I own two Ford Focuses, do I call them Foci? hmmmmm
It means what weiki said.
having been a copy editor for many years, it pretty much depends on what style manual you're told to use . . .
gwen! LOL
ty rose.i just KNEW that q would sneak in
i would call them fred and ethel, but that's just me, gwen
une, yeaoup, i know
welki, lol
welki, they should design a Mertz! LOL
Also, IMHO, Focus in that sense isn't the latin word so it isn't conjugated like one. It's a proper noun. That leaves the question of what rule TO follow.
egad, Ford whould not put out any more cars with bad names! LOL
:-D
They ran out of good ones long ago.
I tend to be a grammar nazi . . . and my daughter's one too! LOL
we're insufferable! LOL
(hiding from grammar nazis)
sa 6/18 before the word that means satisfy?
and we both speak French so we're also restaurant menu nazis!
oh, dear, do not get me started on menu issues LOL
we are dinsosaurs, une. grammar as we know it is dead.
rose, backtalks
Gwen, I've learned to zip my lip and just smile around my mom's caregiver who talks about Cadillac arrest and Ellen Degenerate! LOL
or how about the redundant initialisms, such as: "ATM Machine" and "TARP Program" Grrrrrrrr
TO, ain't it the truth . . . sigh
une, ROFLMAO
I agree TO, the language is changing so fast! Still, I hate to see 's used indiscriminately. There's a restaurant here named five pot's. On a big sign!
I'm back
Une, do you think she really means Degeneris is degenerate? I like the cadallac arrest though.
or redundancies in general such as "still ongoing"
Or 'functionality' - cringe.
you were nothear when i told of our local shop who sold steak's' and hoagie's'
no, red, she just has a hard time getting her mouth around a lot of words of more than a syllable
but she's such a sweetheart
And the conversation comes full circle.
as we say down south, "Bless her heart."
I knew if I waited long enough you would all come back
DR!
Please someone take a second and clue that sa for me - it's the last last last one I need ...
hey une, owl, dr, red, roses etc.
hi DR. waiting for ???
Hey back!
hey, dorens! Are you please with the Tony noms?
*pleased
local estate sale managers called "3 Nun's" and I always wonder, 3 Nun's what? how many times can they sell that stuff?
Rose sa4 the conversation was full circle
Hi Dorens!
jeez, gwen
i've been so busy lately i didn't even check them yet, tell me une (i looked at a house today with gardens that you would die for.... except they were planted by someone else, but soooooo gorgeous)
just found the african jaunt
yes, i am looking at houses with ken. (this doesn't necessarily mean anything yet tho... just looking)
once i took an order (*) over the phone, the guy could not pronounce the name of the street so he say Shy-a-Washington. I guessed it was Shiawassee. (*) in stone age when I worked local delivery restaurant
hi doren! are you thinking of moving?

so, yeah, cadillac arrest makes sense, sorta
ts5 = t + not happy + vowel
i love my house, and my garden, but am thinking living with him might just make sense, and this house just doesn't work for us together... i have too many memories of someone else being here... never feel quite right with him here. but the house we looked at today... oh myh god. 7 acres... at least two are beautifully landscaped and planted with fabulous perennials.. deer fence around the property... amazing woods behind the house... resistance pool under greenhouse... just ridiculous
is it near whre you are now?
ty Book Doctor
didja win the lottery??
Dorens, thats a ton of upkeep.
vegetable garden bordered by lilacs (of course in beautiful bloom right now) and surrounded by picket fence
yw forward 8-)
oh the upkeep is insane.. no question about it.
holy moly ... close on it quickly, dorens! i'll be in jersey in july!
sounds like a dream . . .
lol welk
ken retired early as a bond trader ... he has a decent amount put by. and if i sell my house, between the two of us it might be feasible. of course it is too much house and land for the two of us and I don't think we really need all that!
My Parents have 22 acres with stream, mill race, etc, and I think they spend most of their days now upkeeing it.
wow, red, that's a lot
but yes, it IS a dream! welki, you're invited... we should have fabulous parties at this place.... two tier decks... incredible views
*looks at owl* think i'm ready for a vacation? all i do is talk about leaving here! lol
I am glad that my parents have something to do, but as they age a bit, there is an issue with my Mom wanting to move somewhere easier and my dad wanting to see his trees "growup"...
The air show isnt until October welki
Welki, come to FL.
later, dudettes -- must take pups out
where is it, dorens (if you don't mind)
une, you didn't tell me about tony noms?

help on hte ru7 please?
He bought a house in violation of an order. Time to get in his face, if not for yourself then for your children.
* the ru7- sorry
stay strong, trif. it's not easy but you can do it.
hi
ru4.5 + consumed, DR
hi Herin
ty Dawger-
Seriously BR - I think there are clear-cut legal issues
Hi Herin
Trifs can i speak to you please?
not as clear cut as you would think - he has already had the closing on the house, so what can be done?
yes tor. but i found out you cannot get blood from a stone.
he should be found in contempt
sure herin. need me to bop back over?
please. I need to go there sorry guys
he should be made to account for the money he took and it should offset against the property division
It doesn't matter. Don't resign. He violated a legal agreement.
ours was 50/50 NOT COUNTING THE STUFF HE STOLE BEOFRE THE ORDER> i mean it just cannot be enforces in real life.
i mean, the bonds wer in his name from payrollwithholding, how could i be entitiled to any?
you are
joint property, TO no matter who's name is on the papers.
stop acting like a victim and get some advice
Yes it does matter. Men take advantage of women because women resign, give up and believe nothing can be done. Fight for yourself.
i am telling you there is no way to enforece it, unless you are talking millions of $
and my car was in his name so when i wrecked it HE got the insurance
I don't think it is millions, TO - and, if you are not the primary wage earner, HE has to pay your legal bills
and sold his and pocketed the money. i made more than him. always.
that's an error on the insurance company, and they should have taken care of that situation if you'd notified them.
dawg they pay to the owner. that was not me. pre - decree and settlement
but all sa4, seeing that behavior, i am well rid of him. you think you know someone.
I am a little panicked about alimony, that is for sure. It is no guaranteed anymore....
Trifioso, go online if nothing else. Search your state's divorce laws. Knowledge is power. He already has indicated he will not be bound by legal orders unless forced to. Force him too.
no but have faith, trif. and a good attorney.
yes, I have done that BR. read the entire chapter, in fact. Can't say I understood all of it, but I did read it.
have it paid through the court, Trif. that way the court has the records of his payments
generally speaking, which would you all say is better: to ask him to put my name on the deed to the new house, or to insist on half the value of the house he bought paid to me?
you knoe, being old enough to remember when no fault divorce became law, i rmemebr the argument against it. too young to understand then, but do very well now.
take the money. house with no way to upkeep does not work, and values are too labile
If money for a lawyer is an issue, ask the mediator to allow you to use some to hire an attorney. If funds are not available than ask the mediator to order your husband to pay. After all, he already has spent thousands.
I think your name on the deed protects you in getting a fair share, since what he says is half may not be a fair half.
dawg that can be gamed. i did so a bit to get back some of what i lost.
Listens to your guts and brain and not your heart.
What is better is to stand on the signed agreement which is a binding legal document. Let a judge or arbiter decide what is the outcome of abrogating that agreement.
on the other hand...cash in hand now keeps you from wondering if you'll ever get anything from the house
what he says is half should be pretty easy to determine, since he just paid for the house on Thursday last.
gee trif and all i am very sorry but this is too close to home and i have spoken too much
so forgive me and i will sign out for the night
night, TO
good Luck trif- I am off to watch my Thursdya shows
i agree - didn't mean to open a big can of worms. don't leave, TO!!!
Bye everyone
I should bow out too, since my only value here is caring that Trifs gets a fair shake ..
I will only speak grid from now on , I promise!
night, DR. I want Trif to get what's fair for her and the kids too.
no trif - we cannot solve it but have given some food for thought perhaps
Good evening, could I have a clue with the two ur7's, please?
me too- I have no experience with divorce so I just pray that whatever happens is for the better
Hi Mark. they both have to do with Pee. the first one is the tract it comes from and the other is the act
lbd, that is a FUNNY clue! well done you!
ahh, thanks trif
Thanks lb got them both.
i can't believe sn5.18 is allowed!
the mystery of enable continues....
why, dAwg? un6 is just plain wrong
what's the un6?
oh, hold on....think I found it. yeah, that's pretty lame
plural of slightly less plausible un5
does it have to do with repairing a tear?
somethings are better left un 6
what? you've never taped over a torn package to make it un5? lol
in other news, did we discuss who came out of the closet today?
who, trif?

it's been a big week for coming out....
times, up. gotta go find my pillows. see you all tomorrow. Prayers are with you, Trif!
bRab: NOW you remind me LOL
thanks lbd.
who else, trif?
kelly mcgillis
Charles Emerson Winchester the Third ... I do one thing .. I do it very well .. Then I move on ..
that has been rumored
no, she came out this week.
lol tor.
nice, tor
I loved that show ..
me too. don't have much luck getting today's teens interested in it. just don't get that
Right up until it wasn't funny any more ..
was a big drinking game when I was in college too. every time someone said a rank, bottoms up!
and the movie? totally different tone
I saw the movie on tv when i was a kid, and really shouldn't have seen it at all - too young. the fake suicide scene scared the hell out of me
wheb did you think it got un funny?
yawn sigh i think i will just hide here and no pushing me out
HERIN!!!
hey herein
hugs
yes i am still waiting on emails
do you need the emails to complete your assignments?
yep
and no
this is the hardest grid I have come across since I have been back from Lent
It started turning into the Alan Alda self-adoration show .. got too preachy ..
hmmm. I stopped liking it when Margaret was walking around with her hair all feathered. NOT very period-appropriate
That was about the same time ..
so many haad left by that time, i guess he was the lynchpin, at least in his own mind
I do like the smithsonian series alan alda did for PBS though
That was pretty good ..
He's definitely intelligent and literate ..
I am missing ER....
I'm not
you have a letter thief?
He was always so interested and engaged in what he seeing and reporting on. it helped engage the audience
ha ha BR --> not ER, BR
I miss that show....my Thursday date for 15 years
or maybe i have lost the plot
man has prop 9 been approved?
never say a single episode
saw
you really missed out! but both my parents were doctors, so maybe it's genetic for me
opps Proposition 8 been passed?
don't have a tv
One of the things I value most is irreverence and M*A*S*H started out very irreverent ..then it got reverent .. That's when I started tuning out ..
heck trif i should have left, just scarfed down cupcakes :(
the one in california? not last I heard. Maine just approved gay marriage today, but it has a teeny population, so not quite as exciting as if calif. passe dit
so then tor, di dyou like seinfeld, or was it too regional?
I see, tor
Ok
oh, carp -- going to the penalty box via a typo.
My dad took me to watch Mash the night before I left for basic training
I liked most of what Seinfeld I saw ( I didn't follow it) because it was so random ..
sorry I only get snippets of news here
they were always so bad, you felt good by comparison!
wow Babble. Another one that should right a book
and it had no plot whatsoever. constatnly parodied itself. like a cult.
Not like a cult. Cults have no sense of parody or irony. Cults take themselves way too seriously.
clue for the an 6, 21 please?
need a nana nap
an + you + river inlet
kisses, tor!
time to call it a night. hang in there trif. see you tomorrow. bye heerin, bRab, tor.

Night TO ..
night TO
