I hate nodding off while someone is presenting their case to me

a bit embarrassing I would think
not for me...I just tell them I am ruminating....Most don't even know what that means
make sure you have a good supply of matchsticks
oh lol!
they may think you're chewing cud.
If I had matchsticks, I'd probably burn down the hearing room

good morning everybody

I hate when my computer does that

hi, Ruby
not your computer, it happens at this time, every night
hi ruby
welcome v
how's hubby, ruby
he's developed a pain in his back, probably from when the dog took him down, but is getting a scan today, so we'll see what's what. Meanwhile, he's cranky and depressed.... same old, same old
and his 85th b-day is coming and he's not too happy about that!
ah, hope nothing too serious there, ruby - he doesn't need any more agony
this is a nice grid!
yes, quite pleasant
he is more affected by this whole thing than he cares to admit. And he's not used to having pain
do feel very sorry for his pain and anguish - but also feel for you having to suffer through it all
it is, of course, much worse for him. I just have to slog through tons of paperwork, trying to get the court case organizaed.
oh, ruby, that is drudgery
72 WORDS! lol
very nice, v!
well done V
gratsi i think sleep deprivation works wonders
not for me; if I don't get about 8 hrs, I'm useless!
I'm lucky to get 8 hours, usually more like 6 - 7
no you fit in a nap in the afternoon?
sometimes, ruby - but usually only if I fall asleep reading
do* not no...
that's what I try to do if I don't get enough at night
can't lie down to rest, have to be sitting upright - in recliner chair
Hello everyone.
hello lyn
{{lynxx}}
Flosey - what lovely words and what a nice looking guy
ty lyn, he's quite a guy
been married 49 years
wow - I thought I was doing OK with 40 years
that's pretty good too lyn
geez, only a babe here at 30 yrs...lol
hello diz grannie!
married that is - lot older than 30 yrs.
Ruby. We met a Ruby dog this morning, same coloring. I think she was fairly young, very anxious too play with Stew so much so that he backed off after a few minutes - never seen him do that before. Are they usually so friendly?
hi DizGranniw
hey ya Ruby
hey ya Lynxx and everyone else...xxx
hi diz
our chows love other dogs but are somewhat distrustful of strangers, tend to get between me and whomever, but very quietly
and NEVER bite or growl
our old male, Rufus, however, was attacked twice for no reason (he was on a leash and the others weren't), and he took them both down lickety split (if you'll pardon the expression)
he was uite a guy!
quite*
silly dogs - I am sure I wouldn't take on a full size chow
they have a bad rep, but we've had 5 and none of them ever was the least bit aggressive
sometimes just standoffish
wow this board is really hard
chugga, how did you finally solve your spider problem?
hi Chugga
i smooshed it!
bravo!
I guess it was either that or move!
better not see one of those (especially of that size) again
yes those were my options
one of the babblers, from Massachusetts, I think, had a tarantula in her house and was going crazy!
very scary
while she was playing? wow terrifying
i wouldnt know how to react
crossy and I were giving her silly advice but at least she was comforted (a little)
must go, see you later, only 121 wqords so far
bye for now ruby
{{flosey}}
bye ruby.. i cant believe how hard this one is
bye for now Ruby

RUNS IN GUESS WHAT
you got a job?
Interview
Hooray!! did you get your interview clothes worked out?
No just about to run out now. Have shoes and snazzy bag and folio
When is the interview?
I have to ring in the AM i missed the call
Hopefully Monday so you have time to find something you really like
Well I am going tonight
to check it out
Good luck - if you go to Target check out the Moda label, they have some good separates at good prices
Don't fit
Right I have to go now take care
really? I am surprised
Bye - good luck
Yep the pants are too big at the top but just right at the thighs

good louck with your interview, herin!
I don't think I know that many c words
morning all
lol ruby, the ones I'm thinking of aren't in the grid
hello sprite
hiya rubyfoo
hi Sprite. Love the picture of Terra and her sleeping buddy
thanks lyn :) I am still in love with both.
that is a great photo!
they are amazing together. Even more so when you know my love did NOT want a dog. And now they are so happy together.
he takes Terra canoeing more often than Sprite!
that is too funny
I'll bet he talks to Terra
or does he sing? Does anybody else sing to their dogs?
lol yeah but that is because my body won't let me canoe more often. And yes he talks to Terra, and Terra never fails to make him feel better.
I sometimes do, rubyfoo, but Terra thinks it is utterly weird.
I sing to Max when I bring him his dinner, always the same song, and he starts making yummy noises and drools
Pavlov Max
pavlov moi! lol
and I am the worst singer, but I guess dogs aren't severe critics
I will never understand enable. Ronin isn't a word, but da6/7 is?
phantom: macarena
ooh nice on
one* even
see you later, 186 words to go in this juicy grid!
bye rubyfoo
bye Ruby
so many gerund phantoms today! But still a fun grid so far.
it is very relaxing
I can use a bit of relaxing today. Got a phone call during dinner, was asked to give a sacred dance lesson 90 minutes later. It was a bit sudden, lol.
!! at least not much time to get nervous or anything, did you have fun?
yeah, I had a lot of fun and everybody was happy with the lesson, so all was well. I told them I will never prepare another lesson ever, grin, it went fine without any preparation ;)
sounds like a plan!
Yay both 9s down
wtg! I have one so far (not yet asking for clues)
oh I see I must be in the PB
TY went back and revisited that and got the other similar one
great going :)
geez - I can never remember how to spell that Italian goodbye - my last guess of 12 variations!
thanks!
200 down and at least half of all tiles - darn , that means I have to go and organise dinner now. BBL

oh, thank God
just hang in there, LadyB, and it will be Friday very soon :) That bad this week?
yea sprite, meant new lease of life as in finding more words...lol
I just stress at work over things I have no control over.....but Friday AND pay day always make it better

this games uses an ancient version of the Enable dictionary, Vmachine. Even the word 'internet' is not valid.
absolutely, carlee :)
i like this game and bookworm
oh, I like bookworm too!
word train is fun too
how do you all have time for all these games?
i have a hard time finding the time for this one
bookworm and word train are small games, I play those when my body needs a rest but my mind is active.
oh Vmachine, do you know this one: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/games /Eight1.html
and I got fireworks

Thank you. I got my 1970 pants
1970 pants here were hip hugger bell bottoms
Yep
now all you need is a body suit to go with the hip huggers
but the 70's pants have been the style for a while now <confusselled>
No one needs to be subjected to that
I have not been able to find a pair
the body suits here were a shirt that had snaps in the crotch area and then you don't have to worry about your shirt coming untucked.
Mom they are heinous and ride up my butt.

hi car
Hello Herin! Hello m9!
Who hear is good at cryptics?
Tricky with the e and s apart from each other!
i like crptics, don't know how good I am at them
same with me
what is the clue Infernal
the better emails revel a maths basic (5, 5 , 5)
guessing it is an anagram of 'the better emails' but have forgotten the little I knew about maths
as in the better emails is the words that contain the answer?
is that revel.. or reveal?
revel/ lever herin ( suck totallyin cryptics
Yes - those 3 words are 15 letters and your answer needs 15
the better emails reveal a maths basic
hello all, help with bottom row i and the u pls
hi peri!
similar to the i word above it peri
us5.16
Herin - the answer is 'three times table'.
i+ centre peri
and for the u.. think gerund
I am us5 babble expert
Hi Jac and how is that so?
clever Jac!
O yes
Herin - 'the better emails' is an anagram of that.
Hi all. Nice grid today.
Very nice. How are you Jac
Just as I said that I understood
Whee! NBT!
hi jacs
Wow Jac!
The other head scratcher is Not in, Not In. Never go to a hands-off practice
How many letters, Herin?
ok..well.i am done for a bit...enoy the morning peoples
Bye Carlee!
bye Carlee have a good one
Bye Carlee
15
Bye Carlee
'Bye Carlee.
One word?
I don't like the person NS that does these cryptics hurts my head. Yep one big long ass word
phantom: drastic
Answer - demonstration, perhaps?
demonstrative?
Need to think about this one a bit more. LOL
How do you get that?
I was thinking what a hand-off practice might be, Herin. I don't think I'm on the right path though.
In our paper every day is different writers of Cryptic s NS is my nemesis one day I will understand their track of thought.
It could also be 'out' something. What letters do you already have?
Got a 9!
out out damn spot ??
Well done, car!
I don't. This person is evil they like to have big long words.
outmanipulating
Lol Kateq!
hi everyone!
Morning Annie
Hi Annie.
hi Annie
lynxx - that could well be it.
does it fit Infernal?
I think you nailed it lynxxx
hi lynxxxie, Jacula, Nono, herin, car and anyone I miss...oh yes, Katie
Herin - is the paper online? I'd like to have a look at that puzzle.
Ok Smarty pants like this: Mens' darkroom, Sir? Somehow a distortion of the truth? (5,3,7) I just cant work it out it is too long and many layed
missed
Jac it is in the Age so I don't think so
Pity, Herin.
or maybe outdoormassage, lol
Morning Annie!
sounds good, lynxxx
Hi Annie
car., can I get a clue for the 9?
Gonna have to think that one over, Herin.
re + ca 7/40....to put another actor in a role
do you know which 9 Annie?
herin: SMOKE AND MIRRORS
thanks car.
and co 9/72--people who become indebted togethet
Wow Dachef! You guys are good!
lynxxx just clued it...I am not using the list yet
*together
Dachef - brilliant! That's it.
Dachef How?
TY Kate!
Good one Dachef. Its another anagram Infernal
Ok
anagram of 'mens dark room sir'.
thanks Kate
OK all! I will be back in a while! Have a great day everyone!
good one Dachef
bye Car
'Bye car.
car., you too
Of course the distortion of truth is the key. Dachef This dang designer drives me buggy
cartographer?
bye car
Thank you know I think I ahve the key as to how this creator of this cryptic thinks
Bye Caree
Herin - That's the trick. Once you work out how the setter thinks, it's usually do-able.
the anagrams are the easy ones - the others can keep you going for hours
You know that the writer of one of the Age cryptics has just released a book on cryptics Infernal (at the Writers Festival)
Lynxx it is the Ages cryptic writer NS drives me spaz
O really were do I find that? Online Age shop?
by David Astle

hi Eva
Morning Eva
ok..so..does anyone have an amazing shrimp recipe?
not me carlee.... I can't eat shrimp so no recipes
i made quiche with shrimp... and we occasionally toss some in pasta...
shrimp has been on sale so often here..i have a freezer full
and i am tired of the shrimp/ scallop fetticine with asparagus
my husband does them with saffron rice - similar to spanish paella
and shrimp stir fry
and curried shrimp
try it in a quiche or omelette...
( i serve the coconut curried shrimp with saffron rice)
shrimp & garlic with a linguini pesto.
i did one quiche with shrimp + crab and a bunch of veggies -- peppers, onions, corn... it was lovely.
ok... interesting eva...filing that for a possibility
( My daughter is sick of pasta jac..she hates all pasta right now..so anything pasta is OUT)
shrimp tacos/quesadillas
hmmm....cool twist..gone to hunt up a recipe
Thank you so much

hi kayy - look at the link for Lickety below
carlee, i specialize in "non-recipes" so real dishes often elude me....heh
i do those too eva...but... i often start with ar ecipe..then change it up once i am... familiar with flavours etc
marinate in chopped garlic, rosemary, and just a touch of olive oi a short while. Saute in mix of butter and olive oil with marinade till just pink and white.
my cooking style is more "lets see what i actually have in the house that i can throw together and not make us sick" heh
Goodnight all
hmmm.... sounds good and simple kate
nitenite lynxxx..sleep well hun
night from me too
hmmm.just found a shrimp creole... now..that..sounds appealing
minus the rendered bacon fat
i wonder of that will make a huge diff in the flavour???
it probably will, but maybe add a little extra salt?
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cajun-Cra wfish-and-Shrimp-Etouffe/Detail.aspx
will make this with hushpuppies i think
just..no crawfish..only shrimp
you can add an anchovy in the beginning--let it melt into the oil/onion--it won't taste like anchovy--it will just add a layer of flavor which will be a good sub for the bacon
thanks kate... but the etouffe is more to my kids flavour likings... they arents a big tomatoey ( sp?) pair
as in chunks of tomato... but that is a good trick to keep in mind...if i could stand the smell of anchoies :)
It's a good trick--and no one would guess there was anchovy there. I love 'em myself
i cant get past the smell... i am good with most things but tere are a few things..that texture/ smell ruin it for me
hi, all. 52 words to go...
i'd have to find someone who eats them... cus if i am using one... throwing out stinks up the garbage... and holding onto ..stinks up the fridge..i wonder..anchovy paste?????
comes in a little tube and lasts forever
i know... but i wonder if that would be an alternative????
sure--just squeeze a little into the saute pan at the beginning.
there we go..problem solved :)
i need help with "i" words, please!

ChuggaBOOM claimed that he was finding it hard - he was just not used to getting into double figures in minutes.
good morning everyone..as you all know,i play a little game with myself and hide the word total for the grid when i first start in an attempt to delude myself into thinking that i am doing well...as it turns out my first word started with a letter c,so in my ignorance i went on to see how many c words i could get before looking at the word total. i got up to 45 of them and knew i was in deep,deep trouble lol
clue on your dr8 and mi7, pls, peri....
yep, too many c words today
I don't know if there is a dr8, ruby mistyped here
we don't want to know about the little games you play with yourself crossy dear *grin*
hahah
clue for the mi7 in between measles and chickenpox?
naughty FM
There's a dr7 - the colour dr7 from my face when I heard the price of a dress.
;)
had that one, but ty anyway
actually the mi7 is an early Jewish interpretation of a Biblical text
flipping heck, phone ...
naughty fm???? that normal fm :p~~~~~
ruby did you get the mi7, I thought it was a clever clue
I'm rummaging around in my old testament
did you see my clue at 9:55 ruby?

Hi all. Big grid little time
ty carlee
{{bichon}}
Hello, bichon.
bbs
and we're all doing the phantom macarena!
Good morning all
Hello, Mr Bob.
hello Mr Bob
crossy is doing the phantom sardine:)
put your left fin in.....
back again.
Let's see how long you stay before the phone rings again - that's life, isn't it?
Call me decadent, I have switched the ansaphone on.
Good for you - no need to pander to these clients all the time.
they are so demanding of my time during work hours - whatever next?
got any good vet stories Haz?
We've actually been off for a couple of weeks so there's been nothing fresh.
I'm waiting to hear how Ata has got on today. Hobbit has had to go to the vet with a sore eye.
ah yes of course. Hows the glittery one doing?
Off to get the kids on the bus. BBL!
Bye, car.
yay, half!
OH really (re Hobbit)!
see you after din
Bye ruby and car.
Spangle is fine, currently on cat watch at the front door. They shal not pass without a generous helping of noise.
if you see ata, tell her that I'm connecting with UK fossil stores and thanks
are there any mid- prefix words?
We'll wait to hear whether the sore eye is something or nothing. It's one of those things where you're better erring on the side of caution.
LOL you must be so relieved she is on cat duty, is she the same with the postman?
hi and bye hurshy
Yes, mi7 for one.
i thought mid(rule of a king) was a good candidate, but it wasn't a aword.
no hursh
hi m9
hurshy!! Hi there.
unless you count the mi7
mi7 - the spot where you just HAVE to scratch.
hi ruby
I wanted midrant - the politician choked midrant, but it was wishful thinking.
midback?
see peri's brilliant clue below around 9:52
mi7 - mid plus a itchy place which knows not the meaning of caution.
heh heh Haz. and Hi m9
i thought i had it with mid(thing on a broken leg that can be itchy)... hmmm
sounds like a brother of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ah! Light dawns.
that's a rabbi's commentary on something in the torah, isn't it?
yes, interpretation of part of the O>T.
jeez must read the log more closely - thought you said a rabbits commentary ...
Yes, those bunnies always have plenty to say.
i wonder what rabbits WOULD have to say about things.
Scrabbler would be the best one to ask about that.
wouldn't mind but I am not due for an eye test for another couple of months!
that is a LOT of c words. 53 down, 13 to go.
Blame the computer, FM, it can't be your eyes.
i have one of the 9's, which is co9, people who back you up when you want to take out a loan. pointer for the other?
you mean I don't have to blame myself .... *faint*
re9 - when the producer thinks another actor would play the role better.
hi all
Don't run away with the idea that you can pass the blame for most things, FM. This is just one exception.
Hello, jmc.
Hey jmc.
yay, thanks haz! only two more R words now, too
You're welcome, hurshy.
the left D's are surprisingly hard for me at the moment, given that there aren't so many of those.
Those d words are the most common in the world.
Aren't!
i was going to say... i just found one that was a holocaust camp minus the U, and pl, and that's not common at all!
i am still looking for where that itch is
me too! haha
You get a ra4 with things like measles, scarlet fever.
it's not where.. it's what.
ah! there is a center to that?
<--- feels left out from the clueing scene but having just noticed how many c words there are I am not going to start this grid.
ty ty
ty to all too numerous to name
fm what a wimp!
wow. one of those da words is like a very hackneyed pronunciation of the mt rushmore state. wild.
but a sensible wimp *grin*
lol
there fm sits all co4/7 and smug. what would it co4/5 her to join the club? ;-)
She's saving her strength for her birthday celebrations tomorrow.
lol nice try.
doesn't rhyme but with modern poetry i have been told it is not necessary
*bounce bounce bounce* i like birthday celebrations
*places a tuna on jmc's head - sit still*
I've heard that her resident bellringers are going to do a performance in her honour.
it is a si4/6 that i have been playing this game too long that i actually tried to pt mi4/6
why for fm? why for do i rate a tuna?
happy to say that yesterday was bellringing practice.
oh wait i wanted to get on this computer to get my icon for today brb
I had to stop you bouncing or you would burst all the balloons I am blowing up for the PB.
Just think, if you'd lived there during the war, you'd not have had the pleasure of hearing them practising.
I know and in all seriousness it has been amazing and a great reminder seeing some of the old planes flying over the house during the summer on their way to airshows various.
Airshows various. Speak we with an order new?
back
<===new icon
Yoda,call me?
fm=yoda
snap
:)
I see yr icon jmc but am in the dark.
*hey who switched out the lights?*
we have a canadian forces base near here and every year they pull out a pair of the old bombers for the local air show.what blows me away is when you look at them and how big they are you wonder how they can stay in the air.they hardly seem to be moving
I know, it defies logic, doesn't it?
oh for a K that there be Knish
Yup crossy, know what you mean and Hi there (())
my i help illumine you?
((FM))
flying is generally mystifying
so long as you don't set fire to me in tuna revenge jmc :)
hi crossy and dc
hello :)
but you look at these,onw still has its war paint and the 4 monster prop engines coughing and belching..it is a sight indeed
you still have not explained the tuna (it was tasty btw just slightly seared)
hi seain
what are the stats of the U please
and correct spelling by me would be a sight also
hi m9
howdy m9
I did jmc if you read back on the log - you were bouncing about and I had to stop you.
ji jmc
hey crossy!
us5
tuna just to stop bouncing? *stores information for day when need more tuna*
mi7 is a type of exegesis :)
It's what a tactless texter would say to VI. U s***, we scatter.
Oh let encourage Vi to s4 ...... Vi are you out there?
Let me get the ear plugs first.
*smack* i really deserve a fish for that one
and how handy you had a tuna right there :)
lol nope already consumed for lunch
itsy is a word! how else to si** itsy bitsy spider?
nbt
a whole tuna?? Healthy appetite!
*smacks lips* a girl has to maintain her strength when she is saving the world all the time!
LOL, at least eat the side salad that came with it :)

Clue please for mi 7/40
*rummages*
OK must be off all this talk of food is making me hungry. Happy Babbling and see you on the morrow.

ty vic and mary
Ooh, you all tricked me into starting...don't think I have time for this today!
It's a bit of a long one. All part of the devious scheme.
Hi, Vi! How are you?
Well, thanks, Jellen. I hope you're hanging in there?
Was feeling pretty good yesterday...not so much today...it comes and goes...
Yeah. You're going along fine and then some little thing happens... (hugs)
it's hard, but gets easier -- that is, less frequent -- with time, Jellen
hi, jellen, mary, vi
((hugs)) jellen, hi everyone!
Hello, dc.
hi, JJ
Hi, dc...and Mary, Matches, and Jilly...
Hello, Jillyjill.
aw, no macarena in the grid
lol. That's been teasing me all day, dc.
Wow, probably shouldn't have started this gird!
Just don't worry about finishing! (I'm good at dishing out the advice, just not so good at following it myself.)
i don't finish with some frequency of late
lol vi....it'll be easier to quit...have a meeting tonight.
I've been getting the small ones, really don't have time for the long ones except on weekends.
The actual necessities of life can make a good substitute for willpower.
neither is harem although I sure keep seeing it!!
very muchso, vi
density, dentistry, decade, dicentra...
(It probably wouldn't accept dicentra anyway, though, come to think of it...)

Aaargh!
Talk like a pirate day is Sunday, vi, not today :P
Didn't work anyway. That's what I get for trying to make a mask for son and think about Babble at the same time.
hi all
lol, dc
LOL vic
hi, jmc
Hello, jmc.
*wonders why vic son needs mask -- checks for tower*
hi vic!
Hi, jmc...I'm not supposed to be here...
hi jell why not? was it something i said? ;-)
Heh. He's been inspired by Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes that he needed to invent a crazy game involving lots of running, multiple balls, flags, and... wearing masks. *shrug*
Supposed to be Getting Things Done!
Babble is a Thing!
excellent inspiration!
makes since to me since i felt calvin was my son for a while
heaven forfend!
there i said it, it needed to be done!
DE 5/16??? THE WORD BEFORE WHAT YOU GET IN A FANDER-BENDER
Actually, Calvin is a pretty mixed inspiration. lol Son's been told if he picks the wrong aspects to be inspired by he'll never be allowed to read it again! lol
fender-bender
wow sammy calm down
de5 - What you're praying to as the other car slams into you
sorry for screaming jm.. bit ia AM screaming
True, Babble is a Thing...but my other Things are sanctioned by the powers that be...
i censored a few comic books myself vic
poor sammy would you like some tea?
yes please some earl fray please
:aob"
(Mine is a very good, sensible kid and I'm really not worried about it. But he did require the warning!)
sob
goodness sammy right away!
Earl Fray? He's a rather warlike nobleman, is he not?
a good sensible should require that warning lest he be a boring kid
hush vic can't you see sammy is distraught?
sorry vicuna... did not understand that clue... i would be mre likely to swear than pray, (sad huh ?)
*gives sammy a mug of earl grey tea*
No no no, jmc. There are all kinds of interesting yet still good sensible things to do. Like run around with balls, flags, and a mask, for example. Personally I think being rude and selfish is rather boring.
lemon? sugar?
da 6/24 anyone?
de5/16 is a god. Any god.
God or Zeus is a de5/16 end with the big pts tile
Hi, ruru
thanks jm, this will do nicely, maybe a wet cloth with vinegar on the forehead. to sooth the eyes, and relieve the tension........
hi jellen how ya doing?
rude and selfish is unacceptable sounds like you have a good and fun kid there
So-so ruru...
da6/24 - there's an Indian criminal = da + the middle third of an animal with a mask + opp of out
*wrings out a warm wet cloth scented with lavender* there there
But I'm enjoying being here :-)
hi jellen.. would you like me to share my tea with you?. i was screaming and jm is soothing me
thanks vicuna. finally got it
what kind of tea would you prefer jell?
and a da6 Japanese feudal lord = da + the beginning of giving a Humble Opinion + very end of Old MacDonald's song
oof... sorry about those clues. It was a stretch
at the risk of sounding like a goody-two shoes i want the chog to be a place of joy and safety
I'm a coffee person, actually...
ahhhhhhhh, it is going to storm here..... that shoudl calm me down
great clue vic
Was that a long drawn out ahhh of relief or a forceful high-pitched AHHH of agony?
I just got my brand new coffee pot inthe mail yesterday! i will brew up a storm (but in a good coffee related way)
a little irish in that coffee jell?
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg
(Shudders at the thought of a storm of coffee. What a mess!)
Oh, aye!
ru i thought pirate talk day was sunday?
ru, dc was just reminding me that Talk Like a Pirate Day is Sunday, not today.... ;P
*gives jell irish coffee with freshly whipped cream*
Lovely, jmc!
glad to help out!
sigh i am not even 1/2 way through the C words
not getting the da
There were definitely too many c's.
Which one, ru?
da 6/24?
Yeah, which one? I clued two.
walk very slowly through vic's clue and remember computer abbreviations
i hope aloy makes it to the vinyard before the storm hits... that way she wikll have a nice place to hunker down and wait it out
da 6/24 = 2/3 of da 4/6 + Detr*** is the Motor City
got one of them.
Really must go now...Thanks for the coffee, jmc! ((hugs)) to all!
bye jell
ugh got them both.
Ah, that's a little cleaner, Luv. But it needs an extra consonant int he middle there.
thank you for your patience
bye jellen.. take care
Go, ruru, go!
Bye, Jellen!
Err...no it doesn't. I misread. Sorry!
ar 7/8/8?
ar 7/3 sounds like a place where you play video games but change the last vowel to two other vowels
the 8's build off of that
ar7/36 - a pastoral paradise
one 8 is a pl, the other an adj
it is a place in Newfoundland, no?
tyvm Vi and Luv
need a break.. bbl
Bye, ruru.

okay i am out of jack so need to leave the office early on a charity (to myself) run to the liquor store

hi babblers!
hi, red
hello, babblers- big rain, thunder, lightning and wind here
Lots of wind here wishing for some ra**
it's coming our way soon
Hello, red and JBV.
the forecast on my phone says it's raning, but it's not raining, wait, now it is
and there's thunder
Hi vicuna
I wish I had thought to put the umbrella down on the picnic table, but I'm not going out there now
so thunderstorms to the WNW of Washington, DC too :)
Hello. I'm just starting the grid. Today is uniformly grey. The water, the sky, the air, the scenery, all painted in shades of grey.
Hello, stidgmere. It's a long grid to just be starting.
that can be pretty, stidgmere -- late Fall and early Winter are like that here -- i love the foggy light drizzle of that time of year
But lucky I am just ending, so I should be off. Goodbye, everyone.
congrats, and be well vicuna
bye Vi
congrats Vicuna.
I am almost half way which is probably where I shall have to stop, as work calls me.
hope you have a good shift, red
Tom had a 16h one the other night.
bye red
WOw, I never do those, they make me nervous.
he was scheduled 12, then covered 4 more for someone
it is good money though.
makes me nervous, too, red, knowing how tired some nurses (and doctors) are while on duty
I did a 12 Monday...still recovering!! lol..too much for us 50+ RNs!
some people do function well with those. I think 12s are enough at night for me, btu I'm getting up there myself!
The only reason they have the 12 hour shifts is that it requires less nurses. :(
his facility has some depts with 8h shifts, some with 12. ICU and Tele both are 12h depts.
I actually prefer it Jilly, I think I would go nuts if I knew I had to go to work 5 days a week. I would probably find some other job.
We do have a few 8 hr nurses, and they are always at work...
You'd hate my posted job: M-F 7-12 or 1...
I would hate it! though I am a fan of day shift in general!
do I add weekends and holidays off?
I don't really care that much about the weekend and holiday thing, admittendly, which is odd.
but I am on a wait list for days and the night shift is making me very very sleepy.
Tom works 4 on/10 off usually.
friday-monday must often. Sometimes friday-sunday plus tuesday.
thats a nice schedule. I do a nutty one for running. 2 on, 1-2 off, and one on...then...
I hated nights....I'm a morning person!!
Tom's always worked nights while a nurse -- even when in school
Well, must toddle off for chores and meeting...bbl. Am happy with nbt for now....
be well, JJ
clue for re5/14 before the word with money in it
That may be the re & *** and tonic (backwards)
I am not a night person, but one can make a pile of ca** working on nights, and you Seain are a night owl as well...
i do prefer a 10-18 shift, indeed :)
re5 for the stars
no it's the one before that, thanks anyway
Oh thanks! I am well over half now, got about 10 mins of play left.
did you find the pair of cancerous words and the sa7 relating to connective tissue, red?
re6, take back, your testimony
no that's the first one. I need the middle re5/12 ty for helping
a queen or a king re***s over their kingdom
there is no re5.12. re5.14 for the stars, re514 as a monarch, re5.14 on a bet, re5.10 a house
Sorry I meant re 5/14 the middle one. have the give back and the one with money
re5 over a realm as monarch
ty dcsein, that was it.
how are you this morning, lyn?
OK thanks DC, stil waking up. How is life treating you?
pretty well, thanks :)
i'll be heading off to happy hour soon
oh sure - I can't even understand the def of that ac7
SA 7/36 ?? i have one that is a cancer
sammys, 2nd one is a cancerous growth
1st one has different last 2 letters and is an adj
hint for ac7, pls?

ty mix and jac. I would never have gotten that.
A gerund story for the c's - Ca6/7 the joint prior to the planned robbery, I realised I was ca7/40 a shadow over the room that could be seen by the security guard. Ce7/40 my activity, I got into my vehicle and was co6/55 down the hill, so as not to make any engine noise, when I realised that my partner in crime co7/48 up to me was cr8/55 my beautifully ironed shirt.
oh, wow, Jac.
Hope it helps!
ty Jac.
y/w
Was your partner co7 up to you or ac - co7/40 you?
Sorry, she was co7/48. I missed one. That will be co7/40 me now, if I'd taken bets on it.
Mind you, I guess she would have been co7/40 my mythical robber more, if he had to take his shirt back to the laundry. LOL
an7/40 pls
no loot AND wrinkles.... sheesh!
truncated holy being + personal pronoun + shout to your little mother.
an7/40 benign tumor

going to watch tv for a while
wtg peri.
Peri - what are you going to put on your si4 from GlassGiant.com? 'Clue for si4 please? N/M' ? LOL
clue for the ar7?
wht - place in Greece known for innocent simplicy or a city not too far from LA.
ty jac. It is also a US National Park in Maine.
Think of an amusements or a video ar***e to start you off.
Oh, I see you got. Phew!
That was a 3-fer, jac
Oh good. You might get the following ar6 and maybe 3 more words from it, too.
If you haven't got them already, that is.
ty Jac. I had that. The only a I am missing now is the ae5
wht - ae + a US intelligence agency.
hi all
ty Jac. Just monkeyed it. A's abolished.
Which is actually the rust fungi stuff you see on leaves.
Hi Boobear.
On the my 21 remaining c's
Just yell if you want help, wht.
still looking for benign tumor.
yello
Hi feather.
hi featherbee
w
hi ruru
mixi - try this - an + US soldier + president's surname without 2nd and 3rd letters.
Hi again, ruru.
The tumor starts like it has to do with the heart. Especially the procedure to clean out the blood vessels of the heart.
ho 6/21?
ruru - someone who sells socks, tights, stockings etc.
ty wht.
as apposed to guys who wear theM?...lol
opposed..thanks jax
ruru - yes. LOL
ty Jac
2 left.
y/w, wht.
Clue for the first ca7 please
debating whether to start, lol
wht - another word for a tin + a piece knocked in on it.
fireworks. finally.
feather - I suppose it depends what time it is there and how long you've got.
Well done, mixi.
wtg mix
8pm. i think i'll start and just see how fast i can get to nbt and over half.
ty Jac. That is another weird one.
Whatever suits you, feather. Family all okay, btw?
yep, everyone's good. everyone's asleep too, i think, including hubby!
I want to go to my b.fs work there is a pug puppy visiting all day
Feather. If you never start, you will never finish. The beginning goes pretty quickly.
wht - it means glowing with white heat. You probably are more used to seeing it with 'in' before it and a slightly different ending.
lol wht. i've long ago given up worrying about finishing. i used to complete every puzzle. then life started to get in the way. i'll just do the fun part for now.
what is a thing knocked onto the tin?
Feather - glad they're all okay. My other half's on night's at the moment. Will probably get in about 3am(ish).
that's hard
bichon - if you bash metal with hammer you will d**** it.
ty Jac
Feather - he'll be on a 10 til 2 shift for the next two weeks... or did he say 2 til 10? Maths isn't my strong point.
why did I start this?
2 to 10 makes more sense, hours wise
Herin - because resistance is futile. LOL
99 left
Feather, well I'll find out soon enough.
True and it started easy
wht - you're on the home straight.
found a 9!
Herin - LOL. It always does. Not sure if I'm hearing Hot Chocolate's 'It Started With A Kiss' or Ringo Starr's 'It Don't Come Ea4/6' now!
clue for ac 7 please
I don't know how straight it will be Jac. At least I have the x's and y'x finished already.
Feather - only one more 9 to find now, then.
True
yup
BooBear - ac4 - land measure with different ending + a transgression.
Herin - btw, sorry to have mentioned chocolate again. LOL
I think I was drooling at that interview.
Hi wed
opps Feather
drooling doesn't seem to be a good way to get a job....
Feather - I actually snorted when I read that. LOL!
Feather there was an Interviewer on tv talking about eating Breaky lunch and dinner with the best places in Melbourne on Chocolate shops
ty Jacula
lol, sorry!
ONe place was Lindt, one Koko Black and the other Max Brennas
Boobear - y/w
ohhhhhhh, well that makes more sense of course
Feather, don't be sorry.
i'm only half paying attention to chat, as you can tell
I am only half awake
I've got this vision of someone going for an interview to work in a chocolate factory and drooling all over the interviewer's desk.
sounds like a lucy episode, slightly twisted
Jac trust me working at a Choc factory is a brilliant way to cure Choc addiction. I plated up 600 pieces of choc cake I rarely eat choc cake now
As someone who lives not too far, and sometimes within smelling distance, of a famous chocolate factory, I can tell you that the workers get ha4'ened to the smell and often don't eat much of the stuff.
Herin - Ah, I see you know that already!
Does it smell yuck or just normal Jac?
clue for ad 5 please
It smells normal, like melted choc, but you just stop finding it appealing, Herin.
Boo - Spanish goodbye.
ok
ad5 amigos!
Jac I lived near a coffee roasting place. The coffee itself was horrid. But one winters morning the fog was thick and they were roasting I thought the fog tasted rather tasty of coffee
good evening all
Herin - that's interesting.
Good evening Mom.
Hi Mom
hi mom
I am reading this conversation between Herin and Jacula and thinking of our son who lives between a brewery and a pickle factory :)
Jac you know its a not good coffee when you are actually told by a worker that ''it smells great doesn't taste that way''
{{{Jacula, Herin and Feather}}} hello
I used to have to go past a bakery on my way to work. The smell of bread cooking used to make me feel so hungry, even though I'd just had breakfast.
Hello all...
Mom I used to stay in a house that was not even half a block from a beer company. That yeasty smell on a summers morning bad, in the arvo good reminds me of tasty beer
{{Jellen}} hello
Hi Jellen
hi jellen
HI Jellen
Mom - that's not a good smell. Hops smell sickly and boiling vinegar makes your eyes water.
Hi Jellen.
Hi Mom
Hi Boo
No, I agree Jac
But beer and pickles is a good combinating
yuck ... beer
Herin - true.
I used to live near a bread factory and every morning the air smelled like raisin toast. Pretty nice.
Hi Wht
Mom true. But a beer in summer even I can't resist
love the smell of baking bread
My friend lives near a big bread factory and one day the factory caught alight. Burnt toast was the smell of the day
hmmmm, beer and pickles.... you have an announcement, herin? LOL..... hi all!!!
oh geez Herin
wht - that does sound nice, unless you're a pregnant lady with morning sickness. I, fortunately, didn't suffer from that either time. I had heartburn instead.
I was living in Pittsburgh at the time. It sure was better than the smell of the coal smoke from the steel mills.
Hi, mamabear
paper mills...that's a place you don't want to live near.
hi jellen!!!
Mama NO. You goose
Hi Mamabear
Sugar plants smell pretty bad, too.
I am abnormal enough as it is. I like Vegemite and Peanut butter together
what is vegemite Herin?
down by my grandma's house in PA, the mill would smell awful sometimes. it reminded me of hot dogs gone bad. weird association, i know.
sounds disgusting Feather
Vegemite is err
http://www.vegemite.com.au/vegemite/pa ge?PagecRef=1
c's conquered
Our worst smell around here is the mushroom farm...
Herin - thinking of toast smells. When we were on hol in Crete in basic self-catering apartments, and when the Greek say 'basic' they do MEAN basic, there was no means to make toast. However, my Other Half worked out a method of balancing a slice of bread over 3 forks over the electric ring on the 2-ring hob. Our apartment block was right next to another and you wouldn't believe how many Brits hung over the balcony of that one, as well as gravitated towards us from our own saying, 'I can smell TOAST!' It was very funny.
around my house, we sometimes get the methane gas smell of hte landfill
Jellen - well mushrooms love the dark and grow in sh*t.
Sorry Mom I have no idea how to describe it. Other than their new Cheesymite is disgusting and akin to licking a feral beer mat
Too true, Jac!
Kraft makes it. But we don't have it over here
Hi mamabear and anyone else I've missed.
Jac toast is great
Mom no you don't I don't think you guys would get it.
hi Jacula! Long time no C!!!!!
our wegman's carries it
is Wegman's a grocery?
yes it is mom
yep mom, a big one, carries lots of neat things
Had the smell of evergreen for 2 days in my apartment after they decided to power trim the hedges outside my windows... was nice, except for the headache the noise gave me.
I don't think I could eat that
We are lucky in UK, we can get both Marmite and Vegemite. Bovril spread, too.
maybe some day we will get a Wegman's
should i know the lower left i word?
Mamabear - the evergreen oil would certainly have cleared your sinuses.
It's a babblet, feather im 4/6
im 4/6 Feather just like the am word
my sinuses were pretty clear already.... which made the smell that much more enjoyable
oops, got it, thanks
feather - if you were shy, you might, especially if you knocked the word's head off.
ANYONE have the last ma6/24?
Smells - they certainly evoke both physical and emotional reactions in people, don't they? They can also bring back memories, both good and bad.
nbt
sorry Mamma I do not
It is a plaid fabric from India
sorry I meant Ruru
rur - a region in India or a type of curry.

can I get a clue for the first da6,24?
mi 7/40?
The one after the Russian houses?
Yes, Pam, and you usually get that word for me by doing it. *grins*
da + co** tower in san francisco and hello
ty Dorens
oh, sorry, that wasn't well done. forget it.
Hi, Dorens
{{Dorens}} hello
LOL, Jac!
sigh, so many clues going right over my head recently
da + **** tower in sanfrancisco and hi jell, mom, etc
mi7 is commentary on the Torah
hi, doresn!
wht - robbers in India and Burma. The da7s that follow come from it.
there's a tower in san fran?
Ruru, I am drinking Juan gil monastrell, 2007, tonight
hi pam. i see the tribe is well represented here. just finally monkeyed the na 6/24 too
found this varietal, this vintage, a few months ago
hmm.
da6.24 - da + metal money with different last letter.
oh poor ruru, and he is drinking nothing. but looking quite svelte, non?
yay, over halfway!
Oh, did not know this about ruru
now will just sit and peck a few here and there, but mostly chat
20lbs as of today dorens
wtg feather
love that halfway mark!
not there yet...
not getting the mi7 clue
clue for an 7/28
congrats, ruru!
Boobear - more fidgety or more cross.
i really wish i had the willpower t do that ru. that is amazing, and it hasn't even been a month!
thanks pam
ruru: stuck in the ***dle with you + poison ivy causes a r4/5
I can't believe mi7 is a word...
I know dorens..it is dropping off me almost daily
Hi Kaplan
I thought it was a proper noun, Kaplan!
thank you pam
mi7 is a Hebrew word.
are you exercising, ruru? eating differently? that's great
you're welcome
Hi. With 113 left, I am not going the distance.
Hi Kaplan.
you've increased exercise a lot as well as the diet, right?
A very proper noun!
yes.. walking, lifting weights, and lots of tennis..and no carbs
Kaplan - you might, yet...
wow, ruru
<--- I'm ALL pumped up ...jah
ruru - you on the high protein/low carb diet?
LOL, ruru
not getting your clue Jacula
speaking of food, i'm starving and tired. going to get my bedtime snack and turn in soon. bye!
What's with all this tribal words?
I am on the push myself away from the table diet dorens
bye bye Feather, pleasant dreams
Bye, feather!
I am actually sleeping better too
d's demolished.
Hi, Kaplan
'Night feather.
ciao, feather!
maybe, just maybe some day i will be sufficiently motivated.
Boo - which word was it again?
No babbling on Yom Kippur!
PB for Pam again.
an7/28
I have a permanent spot there, jac ;^)
Boo - an* (picnic pest) + superlative ending.
pam - I'm constructing a fruit jelly for tomorrow. The top part of fresh strawberries in strawberry jelly (that's NOT jam, btw) is set. Later, I will add a lemon jelly with blueberry bottom layer to it. Should I leave some in the PB for you?
Oh, yes, Jac! Thank you!
I love lemon and blueberry together--they complement each other so well....
Pam - what to peope in USA call gelatine set pudding? 'Cos you seem to call 'jam' jelly?
*do people, I meant to say.
when pigs fly has a lemon blueberry sort of pudding cake that is soo good (and super tart). pam do you ever get there?
Jac, I think we call it jello which is actually a brand name.
wht - Oh, thanks for the info.
Dorens - that sounds nice.
Lemon blueberry cheesecake is nice, too. At leat the one I make is. LOL
what is a superlative ending
it is. and they have a bakery in cambridge which pammers and wht can get to far more easily than i
LOVE when pigs fly
Yes, wht, that's it...
the most, boobear
Also have a market in brookline, doresn
I didn't get a huge crop off my blueberry bushes this year, but enough for a few nice desserts.
i kind of figured you did, pam. the best bread!
hi ..back .. mrs. ru needed attention
Jelly, from what I can tell, contains the juice of fruits...Jam has fruit bits in it...
I am a bread whore
Boobear - superlative ending is mightIER.
oh. more convenient for you.. i go to davis square when I am up there.. the pumpkin seed?? divine
and then there are preserves, jellen
so many fruits...
lucky mrs. ru
A superlative ending is a really good dessert.
the pumpkin seed is my fave, too!
lol, wht
LOL, wht!
but i generally get the low carb whole wheat... not nearly as good, but good ffor a low carb bread.
Jellen - so WHY do Americans call jam 'jelly'? And why do they talk about canning when they mean bottling or putting into jars? That's confused me for years.
wht - LOL re the dessert comment.
ac 7 please?
Don't know, Jac...
oh jac, you know the english language is full of ridiculosities like that, and they didn't all originate in the states really
ac7 ac + dried grapes minus an i
ac + dried grape minus a vowel
and i am done with the monster
Hooray for Dorens!!!
Finished dorens, or just done?
haha, finished
en7 please
thank you.. YEAHHHHH Dorens...
congrats Dorens
I am right behind you sort of
Congratulations Dorens
Dorens - I'm not trying to blame the USA for ridiculosities, I'm well aware the English launguage being the wonderful, growing mongrel pup that is it throws enough anomalies up in its home country, but I'm intrigued to learn more about it and why it develops as it does both here and elsewhere.
en en*s with the curved structure
Well done, Dorens, on finishing.
I am only 68 behind Dorens
199 behind here :-)
yay, doresn!
na 7?
yes jac, i have often wondered about the canning/tinning thing myself. used to do canning (made apple butter and chutney) and it never did make sense.
ty dorens
no na7
because it WAS canned originally and habit is habit!
hi all - you finally dragged me out of lurk!
there is a na 7 on lickety's list
Hi, hootowl
hootowl, you mean people actually put things in cans in their own homes?
e's erased
sorry you're right ruru. more unpleasant
Hi Hootowl
Hi Hoot. Thanks for the info. How to you seal something in a can in a domestic environment? Welding or something? (Not being sarcastic, I promise. I really do want to know.)
don't think so but it was probably how it got to the stores
or really bad in the bedroom dorens..lol
tyvm
then Ball and Kerr came a;ong...
that too ru ;-)
I have 6 jars of relish/salad dresing in my closet right now
but once it became a home industry, why couldn't they have changed the name? i mean, it really isn't the same procedure!
na7 is much not nicer.
When I don't have time for a jam or preserve I make compote. Just boil fruit w/water & maybe a spice
g'g gone
habit, habit, habit
compote is lovely in yoghurt or on a sponge pudding, hoot.
Never gets that far here!:D cook, onto plate, whipped cream - gone
LOL Hoot.
well the idea is it's fast & easy and doesn't require lbs of fruit. Just enough for 2
ra 6/24?
h's ho5'ed
nm
left-overs (?) go on french toast or pancakes
have it already
Dorens - it's interesting to see you questioning a fellow countrywoman, with only 9 years' age difference between you about the canning thing. USA is huge, and I guess habits and customs also vary over the country?
Hoot - that question is for you, too.
well jac, i understand about it being canning when it goes into cans. i just wonder about when we do it at home, the procedure really isn't the same. then again, what do you folks call it .. jarring?
rur - did you just 'do a Peri'?
yes
twice today so far
I'm sure it is but I think most people, no matter where, used a Ball or Kerr recipe book in the beginning
reign
also, my mom was far too modern, a very good cook, but she never "canned" anything... i only learned about it when i was in my 30's
oh god
thanks Ruru
yes, i always used ball jars.. but didn't understand why we were "canning"
did God answer you?
ty ruru, but I have that already. I think there is some nice fruit compote in the PB
and god can't help you with problems like that ruru
Dorens - iit's called 'making jam' or 'preserving' (also applies to pickles, chutney etc.). If you are preserving whole fruits or whatever in syrup, then it's bottling.
preserving sounds like a much better word to me
nah - just canning. Never been questioned about it before thou. Just canned.
Hoot - has it made you wonder now, since you've been questioned?
sa7/36?
jac how is your ankle doing?
nope - at my age I ain't gonna change
a cancer ruru
I do know the diff between jams, jellies, etc. but it's all canning to me
and the one before it a strange inflammatory disease
that's one of them the other is related?
Dorens - it's improving by leaps and bounds - not that I can actually leap or bound yet ; still walking like a rocking horse. But it's getting better.
i's ic4
they're different. the first ends with the robot ending
Hoot - oh, okay. Just want to say that questioning everything keeps the brain alive.
thank you.
they share the first four letters, but i'm fairly certain they're actually unrelated
two more s's
Oh I do - just not canning. Just have fun.
then a zillion t's
oc 4/5? i cant seem to monkey it
Hoot - okay. See you again soon.x
it's a babblet cos
nm i got it
cos has also 'done a Peri'. LOL
si 6/`18?
a peri?
ru the t's are much easier than the s's
last mo6,24 pls
which si6? they're both fishworthy
I am now going back into lurk mode to get my last 13. bbl
cos - our player Periwinkle (aka Peri) often asks for a clue and then says 'n/m I've got it.' Eventually, it became known as 'doing a Peri'.
mo6.24 tiles are lovely
the first one
ty lynxx
Hi, lynxxx
ruru, have you checked out the bremer winery yet?
hi Jellen
You make pictures with little tesserae (pices of glass) for mo6.24.

Hey, I thought nacent was a word.
But I guess it isn't in enablish
My Beloved very much liked the idea of being led to a chair or a bed on his arrival home from work, then being offered a neck massage whilst I talked to him in dulcet tones, had stopped all noise from washing machine, dishwasher etc., and shut the kids up.
wht - it's nasCent.
first ta 5?
And, if I wasn't going already, I'd be in the PB for part of a word being a grid word. LOL.
I bet he did
nm
can I get help a a few?
di 6/24?
choppers
di6.24 boys little cars are made this way
lynxx - when I asked him what time he'd be home when he unexpectedly got put on nights, he said, 'It doesn't matter, because you will have to be or get up to pander to me.' Have to say he ducked after he said that, since I had a wok in my hand at the time. My reply to him was of the 'go forth and multiply' Biblical kind.
the first one une?
That's a bit rough Jac - I onlky ever used to chuck plastic bowls - they didn't damage the walls
di + plaster on a broken leg
yeah
thanks
lynxx - I was intending to get the wok anywhere ne4 a wall! LOL

OMG!! KIWI!!

sigh...it has now been raining for over 20 hours...ugh
wrong island lynxx lol
how long can you tread water, crossy?
Yeah I know, we worked it out. Didn't effect anyone you know did it?
well i thought since i has having a MHD i should pop in for a change and clean the dust and cobwebs off my possie lol
as long as needed lol
rain and showers here too, crossy, and more predicted for the weekend -- and it's our big Fall Fair! Flosey and her hubby are very involved with it.
No,lbd, it's just that, you've heard of a double egg cup right? Well that na5 bug requires a double toilet and no one wants to catch that bug even by association! Sorry, I just couldn't resist signing in again to say that. I got a bug like that 2 weeks before I was due to give birth to my 2nd child. The midwife was convinced I'd go into early labour and stayed with me. I didn't. In fact she had a lie in for 2 weeks after she was due. She still likes frequent naps now, at 23. LOL
hi all.
rain hail thunder lightning here at present thunder booming enough to rattle the windows
brb
Hi and bye to jillibus and anyone else I missed.

well,i also will pass on earhquakes
any clues for the 9s please?
GroovyKiwi!! It's been ages!!!
hey jellen hiya hugs
re 9 when i hunting for an actor ,ill do this if one does not turn out
co9 are people who will put their name on a loan
thanks wht and cross from me
co9 is plural of the 8. you would need at least one to adhere signature on a contract
np;)
Hmmm...don't get the re9 clue...
jellen what do you put on your arm or leg when you break it
Ah, thanks!
expand that for when you are finding actors for a tv show or film
a producer will do this when making a movie if a certain actor needs replacing
and then put the re at the front
if you break your leg you might have to wear a plaster thing on your leg, and if you broke the plaster you would have to get a re9
last ra6 please
keep the gerund close at hand, it's used when you least expect it!
ra + **** a song of six pence
ty lbd.
hey babblers
yw
hiya gort!
can i please have clues for any da between the first and last 2 das?
I noticed, lbd. Without the gerund ending there would only be about 25 words in the grid.
ty!
russian housing, gort
r's roped
da + **hort (group) + he, she or **, plural and sometimes vowel
thanks lbd
transpose last two letters of last da4

Yay, wht!!!
whoooo hoooooo WHT!!
yaa for wht!!
woohoooo wtg ^5
thx for the ca7
mi7 pls?
co 8/60?
mi7 is commentary on the Torah
Oops! Just remembered I need to start laundry...brb...
mi7 not on the ends + what you get from poison ivy.
ok, googling commentary on the torah (read the torah, but danged if i can get my mitts on a commentary of it)
co8.60 is pt of the co6
co8,60 What your parents did for your first loan.
mi should be mishna. i dont get that word at all.
ty wht!
i got that mi 7. weird to see it in the grid. is there an engish meaning?
ahhh, got it now, thanks wht (not only do i lack a torah commentary, but until now, i didn't know what you get from poison ivy other than poisoned bricks)
so many foreign words. i dont like that at all. i would prefer no spanish, no french, no hebrew, no yiddish, no scottish etc.
mi7 according to dictionary.com an early Jewish interpretation of or commentary on a Biblical text, clarifying or expounding a point of law or developing or illustrating a moral principle.
what are poisoned bricks??????
last de7?
it would be a very small short grid, mkg
the things poisoned ivy grow up?
*gort starting to wonder if this is another one of those trans-hemispherical misunderstandings*
Missing the first five co's...anyone feel charitable?
de + a funny spelling of the wet stuff that falls from the sky
co 7/48?
co5 - beach
Thanks, Groovy
the only ivy i know of climbs bricks. you can poison it with a shot of round-up, but it doesn't come poisoned naturally (in oz, anyway)
co7.48 is co4.7 + gerund
co + the ending for writing out your name
c07,48 - getting very close and chummy to.
thx for the de, weird one
co8.55 put in neutral and just roll with gravity or co5 + gerund
Thanks, lbd
co5.16 co + gerund slightly mixed up
In the United States, poison ivy is a variety of ivy that grows wild which contains an oil that gives you a na5 ra4 if you touch it.
ec6?
jellen, add a vowel to the end of that 5 for the 6
ec + not soft
ec + opp easy or soft
oops, off to pb
the other co7
Got them, thanks lbd!
e + green leafy veggie
co4,5 the $ of a product
and co7,40 is the extra ending
thx for the ec, so close now ...
i have that already i think i have an extra co7
You can do it, shrir
go shirl!
the co7.4 has got me stumped
thats the one im stuck at kiwi
co6/24 -- stick a consonant in the middle
Hi, Une
7.44 sorry - got a new keyboard and i type quicker than it can handle lol
Groovy, the co4,7. What you put on the teapot to keep it warm.
hey, jellen :-)
co + to set fire to/start something is to ***ite it + past tense
co7,44 is line the co6,24 that comes after it with a consonant stuck in the middle
co5.16 + pt ending
havent got that yet lbd lol
co + gerund slightly mixed up, kiwi
brb...doing a little crafty project...

wtg, kiwi!!
GROOVY!!!!! YIPPPEEE!!!
the first di 6.24 would be a help lol
I quit smoking cold turkey August 1991 after attending the funeral of my grandfather who died of emphezema after smoking for 60+ years.
di + that plaster thingy
sa7 before the cancer?
Keep straws and lollypops on hand to chew.
good for you minski
i didnt go cold turkey but ive been doing a clinical trial of a new anti smoking spray and it worked - they reckon id stop fully by four weeks i was stopped in 9 days lol
thanks lbd
i am pretty rabid since my husband died because he did not quit smoking soon enough
that is SOOOO wonderful groovy
sa7 related to the cancer
*gives groovy a lollipop*
i just started e-smoking which has no tar or tobacco
whohoo!!! that's awesome! You so totally rock (to quote the sea turtle from Nemo).
no lollipops please im already starting to nibble to muh now
ok gum then. I hate gum but it's better than smoking.
but it is sugar free. . .
not getting that sa7 ...
zonnix is the spray stuff and it doesnt taste like anything when you spray it inside your mouth but give it a couple of minutes and out comes the aftertaste a really horrible peppery spicey taste and it worked
sa7= same first four letters + robot ending

am i looking at a different grid?
apparently so
you still need another I . you are spelling the word incorrectly
ar 7/36..... an old name for newfoundland..?

de7 -- de + misspelt term of ruling
someone clued that earlier and i've not gotten it to work
(my clue is lousy -- only half awake)
ty, jilli :)
the precip clue did yield me enough letters
de7= de + sun god + mixed-up gerund
Did it make sense, dc?
indeed, jilli, ty. ty also jellen :)
Queen Elizabeth re**** over her subjects -- change that vowel.
first de7 please?
good evening Jili -- I did the icon change for today... thanks for all your help
Hi grandy!
hi-- great clue too ty
de7 adds a plural letter to the 6 before it
And who is the guy in your icon, grandy?
He is my wonderful husband of 28 years.
good grief -- thought so but couldn't find it LOL
How about typing that into your profile, grandy?
oh you have the greatest ideas... I just might
Now I'm going to change my icon...
