1:47 am

Thought it was Hebrew!

1:47 am

Would you believe that I forgot to include the infamous suffix as a word on its own?

LOL.... sounds like me

1:48 am

No the ki word comes from German for a piece of clothing

1:49 am

I'll think of it next Rosh Hashana! Lol!

2:01 am

I'm out of here - bb tomorrow for remaining 95

2:01 am

falling asleep

sleep well, flosey!

2:04 am

Sleep well Flosey

es 7

le 8

2:10 am

And thatis the other prominent suffix in this board!

:)

I keep forgetting to plural some of them :( argh

2:12 am

This is a fun board, because of all the possibilities and very few strange words, other than than stupid ek

I totally agree!

2:13 am

no, ty vm!!

2:14 am

It's on likety's list and enable does not able it!

ty so much; you saved me from searching for something, not there!!

I have always seen it as 2 words in re4 life

2:17 am

Finished. Went to the list for the last 50 words, most of which I could have found had I stayed with it, but it's time to get on with the day. Bye

2:29 am

sprite, did you hear from puglet too?

2:30 am

yes darling

2:30 am

Was good to hear from her.

2:30 am

it sure was.

2:31 am

okay....but i am cross with her. it's too soon. her pain must be horrendous.

2:31 am

yeah it is. Poor pugs.

2:31 am

Just hope she takes all the pain killers she needs.

2:31 am

at least she has her friend with her for a few days.

2:32 am

not sure what they have sent her home with for pain control...i am praying that it is adequate.

2:33 am

I told her to get more if it wasn't.

2:33 am

welllll not too adequate. We don't want her to feel she can do a bit of household chores.

2:34 am

lolol...i told her she was not to even lift a saucepan of vegetables...and no straining in any way.

2:34 am

Hope she follows instructions.

2:34 am

what liz said.

2:41 am

nothing heavier than a cup of coffee

3:15 am

wb sweetie

3:16 am

omg...on qi....they just asked where is the worst place to be licked by a goat? two answers were the perineum...roflol

3:16 am

roflolollll

3:17 am

that might be my favorite show of all. I love stephen fry and he has the most marvelous panel too

3:19 am

which was the 'correct' answer?

3:20 am

Hi everyone. May I please have a clue for any 'ae' word? Thanks

3:20 am

hi peach, how about the eagle nests?

3:21 am

Oh, thanks, sprite. Hope you are well.

3:21 am

hey ya peach

3:21 am

am fine, thanks peach! And you, yourself?

3:23 am

Just the everyday pain.....seems worse when a front is on the way in.

3:23 am

We are supposed to get rain all day today.

3:23 am

ah yeah, the weather plays havoc with pains like that. So sorry, peach :( *gentle healing vibes*

3:24 am

Thanks much luv.

3:24 am

The answer, Sprite, Is the feet.

3:24 am

another string of hot ones here....fans going into overtime.

3:24 am

ahhhh thanks zooz! Hello dear man. And why the feet?

3:25 am

whoot!!! hellooo zooz

3:26 am

you marvellous man...i see you too frequently.

3:26 am

that is a dubious statement, rose, lol!

3:26 am

ugh...naughty GR...seldom is the word i needed

3:27 am

The feet was used as a form of torture in china.They would coat the feet in honey.The goat would lick the feet (which tickled at first) as the tongue is rather raspy after a while it would start to rip of layers of skin! Nice heh!

3:27 am

poor zooz

3:27 am

Hello, To all :-)

3:28 am

sounds like a chinese torture to me for sure. *shudders*

3:28 am

not my feet you don't...

3:29 am

nor, may I say, my perineum.

3:29 am

I would not normally come out of stealth mode as I am no where near getting the words I need.But could not resist giving you the answer to your question :-)

3:29 am

Oh good grief, Sprite!

3:30 am

ROFLOLOL

3:30 am

I appreciate it, zooz! Rose was too busy watching to tell me, grin.

3:30 am

hi all!! bloody hot day here, went to pick our g/dtr up from her indigenous camp - coming home, the car wouldn't start - ignition has stuffed it.....luckily dtrs b/f's brother is a tow truck driver and was able to come and get the car, but it was a 3 hr wait in 37 degrees celsuis heat. Thankfully all home safe and sound

3:30 am

zooz, we are talking with sprite!!

3:31 am

oh my dear god, dizgrannie... how very vexing!

3:31 am

I don't take responsibility for that. Rose started it. She said 2 answered with perineum.

3:31 am

poor diz...at least it didn't rain too. give thanx for minute miracles.

3:31 am

we were lucky that we had people giving us bottles of water

3:31 am

Sounds like harsh conditions to me, Dizgrannie.Hope you all have rehydrated yourselves!

3:32 am

indeed, diz. So... now a long cool shower and then under the fan with your feet up?

3:32 am

Ah well that answers my question then..lol

3:32 am

lol. I may be bad, but I am not that bad

3:32 am

Sprite...been there done that....lol

3:32 am

hehehe good going, diz!

3:33 am

Goat..perineum...feet up....Sprite...my imagination is getting corrupted here!

3:34 am

Thankfully we had sunscreen with us, cos it was toooo hot to sit in the car, but I still fell burnt to a crisp.

3:34 am

a dirty mind is a joy forever, zooz :) Let that imagination roam... just realise your thoughts shape your future...

3:34 am

you need several long cold drinks while sitting under that fan, diz

3:35 am

I hope it was a high factor one, Dizgrannie!

3:35 am

HIC!, sprite, am doing....lol

3:35 am

yes Zoozz

3:36 am

hehehe on your way to mend then, diz

3:44 am

lol sprite, yep....g/kiddos have crashed it.

3:45 am

:D

3:45 am

Heat does exhaust you though.so I can understand why they have crashed out..lol

3:46 am

Very cold here this morning.Same for you?

5:22 am

Good morning.

5:23 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:23 am

you are almost in the grid today :-)

5:23 am

I see that :) When, it's a biggie.

5:23 am

Whew, I mean :)

5:24 am

Yes a reasonable size. would be nice with maybe another 200 more :-)

5:26 am

But then I am greedy..lol

5:26 am

Would rather have it tomorrow, I have some work to do today.

5:29 am

Yes it would be nice if it was like the Iron sudoku where you can do the archives.So if you finish the days puzzle and still have time on your hands you could always do others you might of missed.So if you had a busy day and missed the days puzzle.It would not be a problem..you could just click on the archive and select it and play!

5:29 am

I would like that.

5:29 am

Me too!

5:44 am

HA 5/22: Doing Babble now / So many good words to find / Hope to finish soon

5:45 am

Have that one, but thanks

5:47 am

Hello, Car & Molly :-)

5:47 am

HI Zoom

5:47 am

there are absoultely no godly people here with me..doesn't that make me sa9?

5:49 am

I would think so

5:49 am

Some dictionaries out there would support what you say, Rolin :-)

5:50 am

but then enable won't accept the compound word you wear to go diving...

5:51 am

Enable has a lot to answer for.

5:54 am

omg I just spent 5 minutes trying to find the sa9... only to realise there are no 9 letter words :-P

5:54 am

lol

5:54 am

Yes, that happens when there is a mention like that in the grid : D

5:54 am

LOL I must admit I also looked for a while.

5:54 am

Or the chat, that is

5:55 am

lol..sorry buggie

5:56 am

Yeah, Rolin's fault :-)

5:56 am

worst part is, I haven't found the sa8 that I assume is related

5:57 am

It would be an SA5, Buggie.

5:57 am

clue for the tu 7/32 plz

5:57 am

It would of been a compound word if enable allowed the word.

5:57 am

Poor Buggie, so led astray

5:58 am

yes, I have that, but there's an sa8 just after, or is it not related?

5:58 am

Not related.Buggie. that one has to do with money.

5:59 am

Not got that one yet, Ivesy.Sorry.

5:59 am

np zooz...

5:59 am

okay, I can stop reapeatedly typing in the most godly and the feminin godly, in the hopes that I made a typo the last 50 times I typed them in...

6:00 am

lol

6:00 am

tu7...Starts with Egyptian king, ends with last two of twinkler and there is a VOWEL in between those two parts

6:01 am

Nope, there is the Chicago transit in between, sorry

6:02 am

ty molly..whew..

6:02 am

Reclue...Egyptian king + first two of Santa's helper + last two of twinkler

6:03 am

American related clues are generally not gotten by many here so I'm trying to figure a way around them.

6:03 am

Ty Molly

6:04 am

your clues are great...never have a prob. getting the word...

6:04 am

I feel thick as I have never heard of twinkler. And when I googled it little japanese children came up?

6:05 am

Thanks zoozzoom, I feel a little less thick ^^

6:05 am

and that calls for coffee... and for those who smoke.. a puff or two.

6:06 am

Twinkler, in the sky...

6:07 am

Oh duh Thank you now I have the word.Thank you, Molly & Sukee :-)

6:09 am

aha, thanks, not an easy word to clue

6:10 am

Agreed.

6:12 am

is wetsuit the last we7/48 please

6:13 am

It is not an acceptable word in the grid.

6:15 am

ty sukee I was wondering whether the word was a blip on Lickety or was there another we7/48??

6:16 am

It is a blip on Lickety. Lickety has the list count at 401

6:18 am

ty molly

6:19 am

It is a good idea to compare the two list counts before you spend a lot of time searching for a word that won't do you any good. It doesn't happen often that the two lists are off but more so when there are big grids.

6:20 am

I assume lickety uses an updated version of enable?

6:21 am

Something like that Zoom. I'm taking bets on how many times we7 is going to be asked about today. Winner gets a chocolate cake.

6:25 am

and yet we have the money from equatorial guinea that nobody has ever heard of and isn't part of the English language...

8:09 am

Hey Trif: Cape to4/8 Co6?

8:10 am

hahahahaha grant!

8:10 am

Productive is not possible for me right now

8:12 am

Did you have surgery River?

Hi Scrabs

9:31 am

9:31 am

Ty, Scrabbs.

9:31 am

:-)

9:32 am

Hego, I finaly got off the phone with my mother. She was telling me about her dream last night which included both her mother (so she spoke Italian with her) and my father.

9:32 am

Bless her heart!

9:32 am

deader than a doornail !!

9:32 am

lol Flo

9:33 am

In the dream my father walked away and said, "I'll come back" and my mother asked her mother why my father always says that.

9:33 am

True, Flo.

9:34 am

dreams are so weird

9:34 am

I have very detailed, vivid dreams just like my mother.

9:35 am

I seldom remember a dream - sometimes I have a conversation but hubby can't make any sense of it because he can't hear the responses

9:35 am

My mother dreams about the people she misses--her parents, my father, and other already deceased friends. At 83 more and more of her friends are dying off.

9:35 am

ah scrabs, I hear you there

9:36 am

she is my age, coming up this year

9:36 am

My mother's brother will be 92 next week and he has outlived everyone. Hi wife died in Sept at 92.

9:37 am

Cousin Earth, are you here lurking?

9:37 am

my mother was in a nursing home at 93, when her youngest sister died, I think that was it for her, she died days later

9:37 am

9:40 am

Judi, drink Concord grape juice or take a resveratrol supplement.

9:40 am

9:40 am

Ruru--people could stand on an idle treadmill and drink your red wine.

9:41 am

judi doesn't need to be reserved at all.. we like her the way she is

9:41 am

I'll take the resveratrol supp with my white wine.

9:41 am

Judi is not reserved.

9:41 am

Yep. No reservations required.

9:41 am

Perfect, Judi!

9:41 am

Remy snuck upstairs when I came down and moved the gate. After bothering his brothers at their gates he finally came back down.

9:53 am

9:53 am

That was so funny, Bichon, when the ice cracked.

9:54 am

Wish you had a photo

9:54 am

there was a footprint photo

9:54 am

My sister and I were laughing as I crawled across the ice to the other side of the creek.

9:55 am

It's all worth it if you can laugh after all

9:56 am

I laugh whenever possible and encourage everyone around me to do the same.

We all live in our head...that way there are no arguements. ;-)

*whew*

10:51 am

nice puppy une

10:52 am

10:52 am

No, it actually paints a good picture within the mind of all those asy, juicy words hanging heavy on the babble tree branches just waiting to be plucked as we ignore those larger fruits on the upper limbs so tantalizingly out of reach for the time being.

10:52 am

easy*

10:52 am

10:54 am

ok, taking second pair of pups out to pee in the coooold rain . . . ugh

10:55 am

It must be peeing down there then, Une :-)

10:57 am

It is not so much the story itself, but rather how we must put the play under a microscope to glean intentions and meanings whether they are really there and intended, or just happenstance merely unsubstantiated vapors of literary historians dreams. lol there or not.

10:58 am

Gah.. my mind...

10:59 am

I need a stiff drink...

10:59 am

Nah a nice cup of tea would revive your mind :-)

11:00 am

11:05 am

You are very close, Rastapopolous!

11:05 am

Have you ever seen a snowshoe hare? I have not. But I love seeing all kinds of animal tracks in the snow in the woods. It makes me realize how many critters live out there yet we rarely see them.

Sorry, I must go. Bye All!

3:17 pm

ah geez, what hego said

Peaches, Al, with chicken? (Just read your profile) - that sounds...novel

3:17 pm

bye hego, later

3:17 pm

It's getting too weird. :)

3:17 pm

oh, that was a good recipe I printed for someone.. it is delicious

3:18 pm

thought that ended in us

3:18 pm

forgot about it

3:18 pm

got it - ty

3:18 pm

nope, that is another word nan

I think I'd go for full fat chicken stock though :)

3:18 pm

like, a break in things

3:19 pm

try it matty.. you will like it!

3:19 pm

reminds me, I should update my profile, ty for the reminder

I might struggle to get peaches this time of year (though maybe not) - though am still dubious about the peaches. I like peaches, mind you...it's just the combination I'm uncertain about :)

3:20 pm

I am so clueless when it comes to the sciences

3:20 pm

maybe some canned peaches?

3:21 pm

the flavors do go well together, though I would understand your hesitancy

Ergh - I'd go for fresh (ish). I just showed it to my partner - he seemed keen - might well do so!

Tinned peaches come in syrup and so are VERY sweet

3:22 pm

You can get peaches frozen.

3:22 pm

but aren't there some in juice instead of syrup? .. ooh, good idea Bzzn

I shall check for peaches. Don't delete the recipe please!

3:23 pm

ok, np

3:24 pm

The canned peaches I buy are in fruit juice.

3:24 pm

You can also rinse any packing fluids from them.

3:25 pm

The frozen ones are good, but defrost kind of mushy. So depending on what you are making with them, that might be a problem.

I never buy tinned fruit so I've no idea what is available. There are probably fresh peaches imported from somewhere far away in the supermarket

I can get asparagus, for crying out loud!

Molly, I shall probably regret asking, but what is your profile picture objecting to? Feeding babies? Spoon feeding babies? Weaning babies too early?

3:29 pm

"Spoon feeding, in the long run, teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon." - E.M. Forester

3:29 pm

don't see what that has to do with babies

3:32 pm

I would hazard a guess that Molly's icon isn't ,ea

I'm guessing (and Molly, please correct me if I'm wrong) that Molly advocates letting babies feed themselves?

3:33 pm

meant to be taken literally... , but of course, I could be wrong

i.e. not spoon feeding them?

3:33 pm

As in spoon feeding babies....

Or, of course, Soodle may well be right :)

3:34 pm

I don't think the concept of spoon feeding in Forester's statement as anything to do with babies

3:34 pm

Agreed Nan. :-) And hello everybody.

3:35 pm

*nor to do with food, but rather with encouraging indpendence

3:35 pm

hi Soodle

Two cluing questions - ir7/28 (not the one that means most angry) and ku5/20?

3:38 pm

ku 5: change first vowel in a smooch and add a vowel at the end

3:38 pm

without anger

Thanks - it would have taken me forever to get that

3:38 pm

ir7 is the one without anger

3:38 pm

Well, let us just say that it's hard to find an image of someone spoon feeding an adult.

3:39 pm

Soodle, always the clever one you. : D

3:40 pm

le 8 please?

Here you go, Molly! http://tinyurl.com/qy47oua

Aaaah - I got most angry but not without anger - thanks!

3:41 pm

nm - found it

Soodle is far more clever than I am - sorry Molly!

3:41 pm

Yes, but I think an image like that would have raised far more questions than this one.

3:42 pm

No problem Matty. I should stick to puppies, kitties or the swinging mouse.

3:42 pm

raising questions is not necessarily a bad thing....

I had fun looking for it

3:43 pm

Well penquis, I agree, but you know...

3:43 pm

i enjoyed your quote...

Speaking of spoon feeding, can someone give me a clue n the le8/40?

nm, got it

3:49 pm

I'd quite like to be spoon-fed. I like the idea of somebody else preparing my meals, feeding them to me, and then cleaning up afterwards.

3:51 pm

ra 6-7 combo please?

3:51 pm

do you also like the idea of someone telling you what to do and when and how to do it?

3:51 pm

Oh NOW she gets it

3:52 pm

most like the le 4 that precedes it --dumb word

3:52 pm

now I get what?

3:52 pm

I was referring to Matty

Yes, yes I got it, once I realised babies were not relevant :)

3:55 pm

LOL Nan. I was married for 19 years. I am extremely familiar with being told what to do and how and when to do it.

3:55 pm

can i get STATS for the upper left corner E and the lower right corner L please?

3:56 pm

I hate vowel words. I have the last os6/18, but I'm missing the first....

I like banjos

An underrated instrument, in my opinion. My Suzie twangs away on her whatjamacallit, and I imagine I am in Hawaii, wearing a grass skirt and slurping a Mai-Tai.

Thank you !

the high school kids at my Meeting played for the adults the other day. . . with the little kids singing. . .

4:05 pm

i have not listed, so i did not know if that was the re you are looking for...

4:06 pm

4:09 pm

Be careful with those Mai Tais though. Rum is the devil's drink.

4:10 pm

*whew* 1/2 way

I thought gin was the devil's drink (I like gin. The devil has all the best tunes)

4:11 pm

and bourbon and tequila and. . .

4:11 pm

almost margarita time. . .

4:11 pm

Depends on who you run with. All the women I know have horrible day after stories that start "I drank too much rum last night..."

4:12 pm

Straightening myself up... Ahem. Matty Matty, Matty. Tsk Gin is Mothers Ruin! Rum is ............... rum!

4:12 pm

just realized that i have 53 four letter words to find.... :o|

OK, if I can get three more words, I'll have 300 and then I may call it a night

4:12 pm

my most horrible story came after "i drank too much champagne last night. . . " sneaks up on you

4:13 pm

I would rather stay sober the rest of my life than drink gin. (And that is saying a LOT)

4:13 pm

go matty go!

4:13 pm

i like gin but i understand why many do not. . .

4:13 pm

i can drink just about anything, lol....

4:13 pm

I love gin!

4:14 pm

m

4:14 pm

me too if it is not sweet!

Hendricks. Bombay Sapphire - yum!

4:14 pm

hey peri

4:14 pm

Champagne only sneaks up on you if you are drinking it in vast quantities.

4:14 pm

My best story begins with'Tjre

4:14 pm

There we were, drinking vodka.....

4:15 pm

i admit i get annoyed with martinis where i have to specify gin. . .

4:15 pm

No, no, no, your best stories begin with Tjre

4:15 pm

Kick a woman when she is down, Molls....

4:15 pm

maybe that is a vodka brand. . .

hello peeps

4:16 pm

They end with hrumph whrz the bucket

4:16 pm

although i thought she meant tea. . .

4:16 pm

hi TO

4:17 pm

Has Soodle ever told you all about the bird with one wing?

4:17 pm

hey jmc, hey all

4:17 pm

No buckets Chez Soodle. My en-suite is also known as the vomitorium. But, that, again is another story,,,

4:18 pm

interesting. . . my local store has menage a trios for sell. . .

4:18 pm

all birds have one wing. . . you are getting me to fall for that

4:18 pm

well except maybe kiwis

4:18 pm

*aren't

they have vestigial wings.

4:19 pm

I thought virgins were vestigal

4:19 pm

Peri, I missed you coming in. Hi! :-)

4:19 pm

hey Soodle

4:20 pm

nope they is vested

4:20 pm

vestal virgins?

OK this probably is spoon feeding, but how about the re7 and 8 combo?

4:20 pm

Yes, that's it. The whiter shade of pale.

4:21 pm

Humming A Whiter Shade Of Pale...

4:21 pm

vestal = chaste

4:21 pm

Soodle and I are sharing a brain today

4:21 pm

wow if that is a clue it is passing me by

4:21 pm

Vestal = chaste...no wonder I can't spell it : D

4:22 pm

i maintain they are vested in the system

4:22 pm

Think of what a chalk board is made of. Add re to it. (Num num Matty, here comes the airplane)

4:22 pm

so there's no we7?

4:23 pm

no it is wetsuit and enable rejects it

4:23 pm

Like I said.... Soul Sisters. Mwah mwah

4:23 pm

ty molls

4:23 pm

ok . . . .

4:23 pm

we7, the most talked about non-word in the grid

4:24 pm

Lickety = 401 Babble = 400...hence the wetsuit discrepency

4:24 pm

:-D

4:26 pm

I knew it. The weather people blew this forecast. We already have freezing rain here.

4:26 pm

well it better be over on sunday morning. . .

4:26 pm

we are expecting more than a nuisance snow tomorrow.....should be shovel-able....

4:26 pm

maybe this makes up for the snow prediction for weds.

4:26 pm

i just have to sneak in one little "woohoo" for Rafa who moved on to round 4 today at the Australian Open! :-)

4:27 pm

I'll inform Topper of that JMC

4:27 pm

whoohoo rafa!

4:27 pm

not cold enough here for sleet or snow . . .

4:27 pm

please do. I don't want to get stranded in Toronto

4:27 pm

*Listens as Une's heart throbs

4:28 pm

indeed!!!

4:28 pm

too ocd for me... ;o)

4:28 pm

You are coming home from Mexico via Toronto?

4:28 pm

very relieved re no snow or sleet here -- am driving an early morning transport tomorrow . . .

4:28 pm

talk to the boy. . . he's the one who made the flight arrangements. . .

4:28 pm

it saved a lot of money

4:29 pm

Yay Rafa! The weather in this part of the world has turned positively balmy. It was 6 degreees today. So nice to drive to work and not have to peel my hands off the steering wheel upon arrival.

4:29 pm

yay soodle!!

4:29 pm

Hi, soodle

4:30 pm

Hey Jaxx. :-)

4:30 pm

Everything good at soodle's abode?

4:30 pm

6 degrees is balmy?

4:30 pm

6 C

6 Celsius

4:31 pm

Compared to recent temps, Heck yeah!#

4:31 pm

about 40

4:31 pm

No complaints here, Jaxx. Well - loads of complaints, but, I will suffer in silence. LOL

Hey Molly - I miss that re every darned time

4:32 pm

And you?

4:32 pm

Ah yes, I always forget about that Celsius thing

4:32 pm

devon is supposed to be balmy but temps have plummeted to - 5C

I am so cold. In bed, covers, pajamas, Jeff doing a crossword, and I'll get a cross word from him if I put my iceblock feet on his legs

There's no central heating in the bedroom - only a space heater

4:33 pm

maybe its warm in the pb

4:33 pm

;-)

4:33 pm

Oh I'm so glad Jeff has been upgraded from OH. I kept thinking that meant Old Husband

4:33 pm

Things have gone on as usual. Simon has lost his job and the house is being sold. 2015 is more of the same old same old.

4:33 pm

it doesn't?

4:34 pm

oh too bad jaxx

Ha ha ha! Nah - old husband becomes officially ex (I hope) next week when I can get (or apply for) the decree absolute

4:34 pm

Matty - buy a hotwater bottle to replace husband's legs.

Not husband :) We have a hotwater bottle somewhere - don't know where it is.

4:35 pm

mattygroves, I saw a you tube about making a heater from a tin can aroll of toilet paper and rubbing alcohol. It is supposed to heat a room amazingly well. Try it and see.

4:35 pm

Soodle, Matty is living in sin. She is one of us. : D

4:35 pm

it's always warm when the house burns down

I am. So very much. We've both been married, just not to each other (though Jeff's been divorced 18 or so years)

4:36 pm

I am sure there was a bad fairy at Julie's Christening. She took the house on because of the SS and now the house she had is gone and the one she took at the SS insistence has two months to go.

4:36 pm

...the house burns down...must put beverage down...gets paper towels...

4:36 pm

What's up w/EK6? please.

The SS?!!

4:37 pm

Mea culpa, matty. Find the hot water bottle and maintain the flush of love.

4:37 pm

4:37 pm

Oh! My mind went to far darker places

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

The SS are dark enough, believe me.

4:39 pm

OMG! Matty living in sin? Well that's that then. I can no longer converse with her. Nice knowing ya Matty. (Sanctimonious Catholic Face on).

For the older among us, george Formby sang about having his little ek in his hand.

4:40 pm

i missed that jaxx. . . i got stuck on don ho. . .

It's no problem a'tall a'tall, Soodle ;)

4:41 pm

Emmm, I hope the tongue in my cheek was clearly visible in my post at 4.39

4:41 pm

It's not actually an instrument. The word just looks like the word for an instrument.

4:42 pm

Phew. thanks Matt. (Ya brazen hussie, ya)

4:42 pm

It is an anagram of the instrument minus an l

Jeff's mum was brought up in an orphanage in Ireland in the 30s and 40s. That can't have been fun. He was brought up Catholic and definitely identifies with the Irish (dark hair, fair skin, plays too many instruments including the penny whistle and Irish banjo)

4:43 pm

help with tu7 pls

4:43 pm

Soodle still talks to me and I am from Orangemen stock, far worse than living together.

4:44 pm

Irish orphanages in the 30's and 40's were not fun, to say the least. Kudos to her for surviving.

But Jaxx, I'm still (technically) married to someone else - not only fornication, but adultery. I shall burn. BURN I tell you ;)

4:45 pm

Broadminded is our soodle.

4:45 pm

LOL, I bless myself before I chat with you, Jaxx... I like to cover all options. LOL

4:45 pm

but then you'll be warm matty

Three hail mary's and four Our Fathers, Soodle.

There is that, rick

4:46 pm

5:42 pm

Weird how words I'm sure I entered, aren't there this morning.

5:42 pm

I guess early in the grid, the typing's too fast for the programme to keep up!

5:42 pm

No, not weird. That happens to me every day. It's a glitch in the program after you have been gone for a while.

oi, now name that legendary sportscaster and champion of muhammed ali

5:42 pm

5:43 pm

Ah! OK. Thanks Molly. I knew that hi 4/9 was my very first word but I had to reenter it.

5:43 pm

heck. missing an l

i need to stop going all day with hardly any food. now iam eating to fill the deficit.

5:46 pm

Yep. Not a good idea to starve yourself.

5:47 pm

I agree - very bad idea.

not starving, just running around. and not waning fast or jink food,just trying to get home to cook

5:47 pm

I'd just be too hungry!

if yu were busy? like, had to run to catch train, no time to gra food. then had to run to stock up before storm, no time to eat.

if i am very busy, i forget abut food.

5:49 pm

Carry a snack bar?

5:49 pm

You could always bring something with you to eat.

5:49 pm

Still, I understand what you're saying.

i did - i eat breafast on the train in.

5:51 pm

Whew. Only 2 more s's - but still 50 to go.

and ne of our new colleauges made fruit cake and he shared it to get our opinion. it was soaked in b & b,but still weeis from mellowing. no wonder i forgot to eat!

5:52 pm

b & b? brandy?

oh yes.

5:52 pm

Now that sounds very good :)

5:52 pm

What sort of storm? Rain? Snow?

5:53 pm

We had 40 cm of rain yesterday :( Much brighter this morning and some of the grass in the paddock behind our house is visible again.

yes. raisins, walnuts , cherries, cranberries, citron,cinnamon,brownsugar, molasses

5:53 pm

Ooooh! Yummy. But I'd leave out the nuts!

i'd skip the raisins and add pineapple! oh, and it had dried mango

5:54 pm

I'd go with either of those.

and reduce the molasses

5:54 pm

Too sweet?

no, too molasses - y. it was blackstrap

5:56 pm

Never used molasses - so don't really know the flavour. Assumed like treacle.
