thanks Lickety
Hi all and thanks, Lickety
anyway . . . she was having seizures and I was assured she couldn't bounce back this time . . . I was able to give her lots of love and hugs and kisses these last few weeks -- she knew she was special to my heart
happy flip :)
seizures suck :(
awww
she knew for sure.
it helped a lot that I had 2 transports today -- in the bright sunshine -- big goofy loving boys who gave lots of kisses :-)
i have never recovered from losing my monty.. it's been many years

I know-- my springer Bonaparte is the same -- had him for 16 years and loved him soooo much. . . every time I see a springer . . .

Cooooeeeyyy !!!!!
cooeeeeee. xoxox
Good morning Mum and, even though I don't believe - happy Easter!!! xx
thank-you dear son. are you enjoying the break? or are you working through?
There's a de7 here that should be allowed to have er on the end!!! (Someone who puts something in an account . . . ) Oh and I have today and tomorrow off Mum so am going to enjoy my gardening today. Tomorrow we have hideous weather arriving so will have to make the most of today!
good for you son. i am hoping to play in the garden a bit tomorrow...lolll and that de7 ends with an or to be a de9
what are you planning for the garden now?
I bet the plants down there are awesome compared to the ones we have up here. Although I have to say, I'm not an expert at growing plants but we have sunflowers here in the UK (strangely we don't get much sun but still they thrive lol) and I am very good at growing them!
ooooo rude word!!!
so far i have found two plants i can't kill. roses and....weeds.
Ahhh yes - gotta love weeds. Strangely enough I can't kill roses either. It's just coming up to the planting season over here so I shall be sowing seeds all day
nice. what sort? flowers or vegies?
and do you do companion planting?
Both - I'm even worse at growing veggies from seed, but, as they say, God loves a trier! Tomatoes and chilli peppers today and the flowers will be scented stocks and freesias (for pots under the lounge window so that when I open the window in the summer the smell will be amazing). I also have to prick out the sunflowers which have grown incredibly quickly this year. I planted them on Tuesday and they are already two inches high. As for companion planting I've never done it before but have a packet of mixed "companion planting" seeds so I shall give that a go too. Am planting hundreds of seeds today, so at least if anything dies I should at least have something that will live lol
*giggle* good plan.as you say with hundreds of seeds something should survive.
Here's hoping lol.
Di tried to frighten me last night - she pointed out a wedding dress online. She forgets I was married once before - there ain't much can frighten this old battered warhorse lmao!!!
awww c'mon mate. you are made of sterner stuff than that. let her have her dream, unshattered.
To be fair to her though she's not really the marrying type. We've both agreed we're both too immature to get married lol - she was only joking about the wedding dress - she said she wanted to see my reaction. She's a naughty girl lol
you know son, there's nothing wrong with the two of you committing your lives to each other, without the m word.
That's true. I mentioned a civil ceremony to her and we both decided against that too. We first met on 21st September 2010 and have decided THAT is our anniversary. Mind you, it's scary to think that this October would have been the 25th anniversary of my actual marriage!! Damn I'm getting old . . .
dinner ready dear. will catch you another time. xoxox
ok mum enjoy!!! xxxxxx
Good morning
Morning Ruby xx
Hello Worzel, I haven't seen you in a very long time!
How are you?
No, well I started a new job and haven't been able to get on for months. I'm fine - how are you? x
I only have about 1/2 hr now, but will be back later to enjoy this fine-looking gid
My life it totally changed, I'm now the Widow Ruby but I'm OK
Aww I am sorry to hear you are a widow, I hope you are finding a way through xx
i'll be back in a bit - have to dash off for a while xx love and hugs (((hugs))) to you ruby and all xx
It was sad, but inevitable, finally was a mercy, and I'm doing all right
So sorry to hear your news, Ruby. Things have been tough for you lately. You have my sympathy.
It's old news, Hydra. I'm sorry to have mentioned it, but I hadn't seen worzel in a very long time
How are you? It is grey, cold and rainy he**, but if we get a couple of sunny days, the garden will be splendid again
It's April showers in advance here in west London. When did it happen, ruby? And how are you? I haven't been on the chat for ages. I generally play with it off, so I can scoot through the game.
Did you see clips of the Stones in Cuba? Keith looks like he's been embalmed and turned into a puppet!
Must have a look.
He died in January after months in a nursing home and a couple of years before that of Alzheimer's deterioration
Do you know the joke about Keith? After nuclear anhilation, the only things left will be cockroaches and keith
That's only a few weeks ago. Early days for you. Alzheimer's is a terrible thing to live through, both for the sufferer and their loved ones.
Good joke about Keith!
And the bit of their music I hear was basically tuneless with Mick looking ridiculous and Keith using his guitar as a cane.
<-- ceuel Ruby!
cruel*
And they get paid megabucks for that. Just so people can be in their presence and look at them?
It was a free concert for about 50,000 Cubans and they arrived on their own plane (like the Pope and Obama°, but their had a big tongue on it. Gross!
I saw the Stones in Hyde Park in 1969. That was a stunning concert. I'm dating myself now!
I'll be 73 in April, but never saw the Stones, just danced to their music
Not that tongue again. Ugh!
And Mick was barely recognizable
I was 71 a fortnight ago.
Just a kid, then! I thin the Stones are around our age. I think Keith is the only one alive who looks worse than I!
Got the 9's. Going to make coffee now. See you later, ruby. And I'm sure you look great for your age. You should see my wrinkles and flab!
I have re-gained weight, up to almosy 90 lbs again, I look like a skeleton on wheels
half, yay!
Goo morning all.
Good morning :)
and goo to yoo, too, Sookee! Happy Easter!
Happy Easter.
Much-needed rain today; if the sun ever comes out again, th*** will be flowers galore!
Ack! I just notices how many W words there are.
Good, warming up here too. The ice is all gone off the trees and it's going to be 15 today.
have to go! XXsukee!
Doing laundry so I will be back and orth.
forth. I can't type today.
Happy Easter all. Please may I have stats for the I and also for the lone E in the first column?
hi Matty. Don't have those yet :)
oh, got the E. It is more of ee 5/10
oops ee 6/18
Darn reset...
Got that EE now - thank you! Yeah, the server through a temper tantrum. It's probably cross that it didn't get enough chocolate :)
is 6/21 and it 5/12
'enough chocolate'....interesting concept...
Ty byz
I'm still looking for those Is
IT 5/12 IT - bro*** from ano*** bro**** -
Thanks Sukee!
lol, that probably confuses it
oh good
should be bro from another mo
I thought it was bro**** from ano**** mo****
Yes Molly, I corrected that :)
It's what I meant :)
The other way sounds like incest : D
lol
nbt but still no 9s - just over halfway. Though I shall shower soon. The clocks changed this morning so I'm an hour late for everything :)
Ah, our clocks changed last week.
So now I can get back to the same time difference :) I'm planning to watch the Rowan ATkinson movie tomorrow online.
And the place I write for is also in the UK. I hate the time change :)
Laundry is in the dryer...
May I have stats for a 9 (ideally one that is a word I'm likely to have heard of?)
afreet
Sorrrrryyyyy
wh9. wh5 + first half of not husband + first two letters of indefinite article.
wi9 is a plural of wi8. wi4, accompany + **, um, i don't know...repeat
le9, past tense of le7. le*, garland + ****eo, sound system
Thanks Rose - the 9s are now history :)
yay matty. well done honey
bedtime for me. xoxox enjoy the grid. it is such fun.
Thanks! Have a great evening :)
hello
Happy Easter
Happy Easter, serenity :-)
Have the le9 but totally confused by the w ones - any help gratefully received!
wi9 plural of those who shrivel:-)
The wh9 is a wh5 + wh4 - it's a word that usually ends in 'all'
thanks for that, matty!
It is a wh5 and a wi4, just so people don't get confused
But there surely aren't two wh combos
Sorry Molly - you are correct.
I have Ws and Hs on the brain
hey molly:-)
As Molly says, wh5 + wi4 :)
However the end of Matty's clue about how the word usually ends with all should make it clear what she meant. : D
Thank you! Now need idiot clue for wi9 pls
wi4 (same one you used for the last word) and then a whole bunch of ums (another way of indicating a hesitation in speech when looking for a word)
Just take the wi4 and keep adding stuff to it for a few more words :)
Think of a word that means shrivel up, then make it a ones who do that word (plural)
Thank you all - found it!
103 left - I'm trying to get to fe5 than 100 left before listing...
How do you know there is an fe5 if you haven't looked at the list?
Because I have the fe5 :) I was avoiding using a word
(I could, of course, have used the word 'less' but that would technically be incorrect) :D
I misread your post. I thought it said "I am trying to get to fe5"
Aah - nah, I want to get to 99 words left before I list ;) (at 101 left) :D :D
It is so amusing how everyone has created little "rules" for how they play the game. : D
Well, for me, not so much of a rule - it's just I KNOW there will be a whole bunch of easy, obvious words I will have missed - I'm just trying to reduce the number of no-brainers :)
"Rule" was for lack of a better term. Strategy, way to play, etc.
Yarp. And my 'rules' change depending on my mood :)
Une, if you are still here, I'm very sorry about Shelby.
Une, That is very sad news about Shelby.
No dog has had a better life than a dog owned by Une.
Oh! That's sad news. Poor Une.
That is true.
Hi Annie and Molly and others
hi Liz, Molly, Une, matty and lurkers
Hallooo!
Happy Easter to all. I know some of you are Passover folks, but Happy Easter anyway.
Happy Easter to all who do :)
And a very Happy Easter to you, Molly
morning, Annie, Liz, et al :-)
Can anyone help with the th7, please?
Sounds like a ch word, my beef jerky is ch7 than yours
Hi Une, I dont know if you saw my earlier post. The news about Shelby is very sad.
th 7 - more of the th 4 before it.
Thanks!
just passing thru -- off to pick up two chihuahua mixes rescued from a breeder (over 30 in all -- half have been adopted so far) --
So sorry about Shelby, Une.
thank you, annie -- I'll miss her soooo much
Have a good day. Such a wonderful thing you do.
thanks, Liz
Sorry about Shelby Une.
liz, you know I love the four-legged lovebugs! :-)
tx much, Molly
I certainly do - would love to have one but hubby and I disagree about whether they should live indoors or outdoors!
must get going -- HAGD all! :-)
Stuck here with 30 left. Will finish tomorrow. Enjoy your days and again, happy Easter to those celebrating.
Happy and Blessed Easter everyone.
I think dogs need to be indoors AND outdoors.
Totally agree, Molly. Dogs need to be outside with plenty of space to run and they need good walks but they're great company indoors too.
greetings,all, on this fine Easter monring. Blessings to all. I've come up for air, with 15 words to find.
could i please get a clue for the first re 6/27

Bye Harry
later, harry
scrabbs, do you have bird feeders around your place?
Yes, many, and suet feeders.
have you noticed that the sparrows chase the others away? (i have a couple of chickadees hollowing out and building a nest in a tree - and the sparrows seem to be crowding them out)
No, it's the blue jays that are the bullies at the feeders.
one side of me thinks, leave it alone, it's nature. the other side says, well, you feed them and upset that balance, so maybe put some halo type wires around the feeders to deter the sparrows
(had a beautiful northern flicker at the suet yesterday)
I had 2 this morning.
i'd never seen one until last year
The goldfinches are just turning yellow again.
Well, I must start the food prep and get the food into the oven.
they're not here yet - in a few weeks. but the bluebirds are starting to return
happy cooking - sounds like you're serving a feast :)
bye scrab happy easter.. enjoy
My mother expects a good meal and lots of leftovers. What time shall we expect you, MLFAN? Just outside of Buffalo.
if you pick me up now I will be there in time for leftovers or the chocolate brownies :)
so...?
And where do you live?
NC
i'll drive you, mlf - gimme about three or four days to get to your place - then, we'll be at scrabbs by dinnertime on wednesday or thursday night
I used to be in va it would have been closer
Hm, this is not going to work out.

*packing up a huge thermos of coffee* gonna be a long road trip
Let's just have a virtual feast, ok?
BBL
welk of which you will be driving the entire time since I don't drive
scrab virtual feast? not as tasty
my husband just asked me if I was hungry or not I told him a little .. but I am not hungry at all its just the "usual" time for us to eat
Until you are here.
OK, I must get to work preparing the food.
welk can handle it scrab:)
scrab is going ot have so much fun!
actually for him to start cooking that is
woohoo found a 9
congrats harry
I only have one of them
me too - still no 8s though :)
halfway!
and I have one of those as well:)
i have 183 left. that is halfway isn't it?
nope - if the number remaining is greater than the number found, it is not halfway :)
but 182 plus 153 is 335?
that is correct
but that's ok i have slowed down considerably anyway
160 here. I've gotta go run carpools. bbl!

Oh NOW we know about Zoom (look for comments on the Babble Facebook page)
I will hand you that one, ruru : D
(proud of himself)
Ha I have never used FB, Molly :-)
I think Molly is an undercover FB agent.
(he's too tied up to use facebook)
agrees
It's the quiet ones....
No, not really. That is just one person's opinion. I'm not a Facebook person.
lol Fan
You always make me smile, ruru :-)
hardly a fb user anymore
I have never seen the appeal for crapbook.
I love meeting up with Babble friends on FB.
me too, hego
Zoom, I totally agree.
play Scrabble with a couple too on FB
I joined bc that is where my kids post pics of the grandkids.. can't miss those!
first re 6/27 please?
Yes, and my nieces and nephews too.
alloy why don't they use Instagram?
sorry, MLF.. not familiar with that
If youlike FB then you like it and it is good that you get something out of it. It is just not for me :-)
not for my BIL either
its a page just for photos
zooz you are smart
oh.. guess we never got started on that. Used to subscribe to "My Family" for that purpose, but FB doesn't cost us so everyone opted to use it
I don't know about cost for any of them
24 still to go, time for a bit of a break, am seeing nada..
Off till later. Happy Easter everyone.
Take care, Aloy..and hope you have a good time with Nada!
bye aloy
Agree again Zoom. It seems to be good for some people. But not for me either.
bye hego
Teehee...Sorry, Aloy I could not resist!
And to you, Hego :-)
there is nothing funny about that zooz :D

Always works :-)
Ask and then you will find it as soon a syou have asked :-)
clues without criticism, what a pleasure!
what else is new right?
hi ruby
hello MLF
There is so much dog hair floating around that it keeps getting in my keyboard and eyelashes
will be even more, Ruby once Summer is in full flow.
Raffie, who needs the most groolming, won't let me wh***as good old Rufie likes it, but doesn't need it
And she, who sleeps in the dirt all days, is totally clean, just shedding
Rufe, who looks like he goes to the hairdresser every week, is greasy underneath but smells good
I guess it keeps him warm
ruby we have the saem thing with our cat and it gets on the screen
http://tinyurl.com/pfbwj6w
Ruby what is this song about?
I don't know how to open another screen, zzoozz :(
MLF, picture a 70 lb. dog with a fluffy, long, triple coat
Never mind th4 :-)
I could knit another dog out of what she sheds
Evidently people spin wool out of chow fur
lol Could make a nice coat for the Winter :-)
Or I could just wear my dogs or climb Inside, like Leonardo in that awful movie
Never seen it and it sounds like I do not want to see it lol
It iis one of the nastiest films I've ever seen; I can't understand the accolades
i saw it with a friend and we were both grossed out (and I've seen lots of violent films), but this was really ugly stuff
Yeah sounds like it is not the sort of film I would watch.
ruby sounds like fun to have a dog with that kind of fur:)
She's really beautiful and when she is playing and jumps straight up, when she lands it looks like feathers
and who doesn't like feather-like dog fur right?
I've had 7 chows over the years and she has the most fur and the longest. Each hair is about 8" long, and then th***'s the underfluff
aww lucky you ruby:)
Rufe is a "rough chow" and his fur is straight ad much shorter. He is a perfect shape but much more serious than Miss Raffie
Greetings and Happy Easter, Babble buds!
hi judi same to you Happy Easter
And to you too, Judi :-)
I am trying to make a video of them playing, but I'm as inept with my little camera as I am at Babble
Hello Judi, are you wearing your bunny suit?
Hi Judi. If you are not wearing your bunny suit, MLF has a pretty gross bunny Easter icon for you to enjoy.
Hmm. MLF's icon looks like an artichoke to me.
or a complex flower....
Actually, I'm wearing my brunch suit. We
We are going out as soon as hubby makes himself beautiful.
Have a great time, Judi :-)
Oh, MLF changed her icon...again
sorry changed it again molly
what gross easter bunny icon Molly?
see you later, kids
bye ruuby
Bye, Ruby :-)
Sorry, gross might have been the wrong word. Some people might find a Playboy Bunny Easter icon in bad taste.
ohh that was just one part of it:)
i found it humorous and not so typical of an icon for a chat room/internet
*shrugs* Bunnies come in all shapes and sizes.
that's for sure judi
your icon is so adorable judi:)
I think bunnies are just silicone .. I mean silly
and they live in the valley
i will be back
ooh found an 8!

re + the past tense of mating
Ah, I see the "and?" was rhetorical.
no, it wasn't rhetorical, i just hadn't looked at what i had yet and then when i looked i saw that probably that would be the first, not likely something could come before that
it wasn't exactly pulling a pe4, but it was similar.

hi Babblers.. back to hopefully finish
Hi Aloy. :)
hi there Soodle! how is everything with you?
I
am feeling a kinship with you since my DNA analysis came back as 46% Irish!
Really good here Aloy. Kids all home for Easter. Very special celebrations all day to mark the 1916 Rising. Feeling a bit patriotic!
ah, wonderful.. how many kids do you have?
hi all, back for day two
I did my duty Soodle and read some Yeats today :)
Aw, bless you Aloy. You can't help the missing 54%... Lol .... Only joking... Delighted you are almost half Paddy!!
hi there mo pie, nice to meet you
likewise!
I am excited about exploring this heritage, Soodle . I have only been to Ireland once, landing in Shannon with an engine on fire.. eek.. it all turned out well.
*Plays "A Nation Once Again
hi again, Molly
Good to hear that, Mo. No hardship to read Yeats, though - always a pleasure. Aloy... I have 3 of them!! A boy (man) of 25, and 2 girls - 24 & 21.
ah.. opposite here, one girl, two boys
A good combination as well, Aloy!
hello....
hi penquis
Huge celebrations here today to mark the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, which ultimately led to Irish freedom. I'm feeling very patriotic.
Happy Irish Freedom day!
pr7/32?
pr + vowel + very dry
Well, thank you, Aloy!! Do you have any plans to come over here?
not at the moment, Soodle.. but certainly in the future after I do some research on Ancestry.com
tyvm Aloy!
yay, glad it worked for you aeb
I only had the pleasure of one Babble meet - when RiverDance came here. I'd really love another Babbler to meet up with.....
ok! so where are you in Ireland?
Hopefully, on one of these anniversaries, Ireland will have it's whole country back.
Or its whole country back
I have a lot to learn and am looking forward to it.
still can't figure out Aloy's clue :)
hewer
lol, wrong box
scrolling back to see if I can help, mo pie
been there, done that... ;o)
ok, try surpr**** party, unexpected + a consonant
oops and another vowel, rats.. not a good clue
lol
h'mm, surpr*** + **wind the film, I want to see it again.. old clue from the days when film was on a long tape
okay will work on that!
thank you!
phew, lol..
fw.. this grid was fun, wi4 a sprinkling of weirdo words.. glad to have a nice big one on a holiday. See you all next time in BabbleLand! Time to poof..
congrats...
hello everyone

hi nan....
hello nan
I really don't understand how dna can determine some of the ethnicities -- lets face it - scotland and ireland were overrun by the vikings for centuries and I don't for one moment believe they were celibate!
They do it by tracing known mutations, Nan.
thanks

sorry pb for me
af 6 ?

amazing that some families have lived in the "new world" for so long that decendents no longer know what their ethnicity is - maybe that is a good thing!

*checks comedy meter*
Happy Easter celebrants
hi ori
I have to go shopping first.. and I'm dreading it
dreading shopping? or the Easter celebration?
you have stores open on Easter Sunday?
yes..
satanic whole foods
:D
feel sorry for the employees who have to give up their easter dinners
heretical trader joe's is open also
Safeway anti-Christ is open too
when i was much younger i would often volunteer to work on holidays, to make extra money...then again i'm not very religious
wish we had the equivalent of trader joe - love that store
I'm not religious at all
demonic bel air as well
Pagan Raley's is up your way too isn't it?
not the evangelical type either, but I still don't think stores need to be open 7 days per week. I think store workers enjoy a weekend like everyone else.
*should be able to enjoy
ahh.. tell that to the corporate grocery biz nan.. they don't care at all
even Krishna Plus is open today :D
:D
many stores here are closed for Easter...Christians around here take it pretty seriously...
and, not everyone who's NOT working has an "easter dinner" even if they celebrate the religious holiday. (me for instance).
i had soup
People freak right out when the grocery store is closed. It seems no one knows how to make a list and buy everything they need anymore.
We had an Easter brunch
agreed molly
well i personally was grateful walmart was open today because i woke up to find one of my cats was constipated, so, i was able to buy her some pumpkin.
Our grocery store was closed once due to a bad snow storm and when they finally opened up, there were people in there bitching because they didn't have doughnuts.
Does Walmart ever close?
pumpkin...hmm...have not heard of that remedy
refrains from discussing constipated pussy cats
not cooking a big easter dinner either -- we were with the kids last weekend in Vancouver and no family here. Sunday is our day to relax, read or watch TV and no cooking! We'll probably throw a pizza together for supper.
Oh Hursh, what a charming Easter story. : D
my walmart closes at night, it's 6 am - 11 pm or something.
no shit
actually i do have a really good easter story, about another cat, not one of my own
:D) (double entendre)
*sees new children's book: "The kitty that wouldn't poop on Easter"
i walk for exercise around the neighborhood near where i work, and i meet cats and make friends with them if they will make friends. one cat i met a couple of months ago, i learned from a neighbor that he'd been missing for 8 years and suddenly just turned up again. Coal (or Cole), a black cat. when i did meet the man who lived there, he said that Coal was 20. he also was not going to let Coal in the house at all or like, take care of him, just leave food out.
so i'd been feeling bad for Coal and this week even more so because he developed an upper respiratory infection
I hate people like that
however, a few blocks away, another house often had two vehicles parked by it with the logo of what sounded like a cat shelter. i looked it up and discovered it is a great no-kill cat shelter run by a vet, and that was her house. yesterday i left her a note about Coal to see if she would be able to help him
and she called me and said yes, she would take him, the shelter has a room of other senior cats he could join, and she would take great care of him (other places would only euthanize a cat that old).
(liking this story)
good work there hurshy :D
last night i fetched a very forlorn looking Coal off the doorstep of his old home. took him home for a lovely dinner and bath and grooming and blow drying. this morning dropped him off at that vet, who was very optimistic about how well he could do with proper care.
op6, please?
(our hero hurshy)
so, Coal rising to a new life on this Easter Sunday!
that's a nice story
for whatever time he has left he will have love, care, and comfort.
i told you it was good! :)
Much better than the constipated one.
well the constipated one was the one that fit the topic of the stores being open :D
I don't mean to but in on what seems to be sensitive conversation but hurshy are you still playing sudoko?
but i am SO happy about coal. i really really wanted to help him but i really really didn't want to be a crazy person who adopts another pet in circumstances where she really shouldn't.
um, no, i don't usually bother with the sudoku these days, kenken is more fun. is there one i should do?
thanks I found the op6
also, not sensitive conversation. positive and uplifting conversation hopefully :)
I am struggling with the Feb 1st puzzle. If you have done it and can give me the middle square that would be awesome? Also, what is kenken?
Had to look up kenken. A math puzzle. I would totally suck at that.
kenken is sort of like sudoku but instead of even boxes of 9 numbers it is made of various size and shape bits with math things in them that you use to figure out where stuff goes
but same rule about 1 of each number per column and per row
kenken.com
no wait i forgot the original site got hacked
thanks, did you by chance do the Feb 1st sudoko puzzle?
so they moved themselves to kenkenpuzzle.com
probably not but i can go try it now marc and see if i can help
pe 8 please?
thanks you'r an angel
nm
thought that was 2 words
you thought what was two words?
pe 8
yeah i know that much, i was angling for a hint :)
subtlety doesn't get you far in babbleland
bothersome creature + pit
hurshy you know if you give a hint when only stats are wanted you get a wrist slap
marc? feb 1, 2016? i mean i haven't done the whole thing but the middle square appears to be in the easy portion of the puzzle.
what's the web site for the sudoku game you guys play?
thank you cnan and haha blah. if you only want stats and you be subtle about that, then you deserve whatever you get
ironsudoku.com, it is run by same guy as babble
thx hurshy, i would like to learn how to play it
I just need a square that I know is correct. I have been working on this one for months and keep coming back to it and nothing seems to be working. Very frustrating.
well 8 is the center, for sure
not sure how much that will help tho
i will keep going and see if i find one more helpful to give you
if you be in the sudoku chat i would tell you there...
the pe7/32 plz
pe7 more of the annoying one

hello mo
what kinda pie you got to give us mo' of?
well my favorite flavor is banana cream
but I don't have any :)
I think it's just a general statement on life. we should all strive for more pie.
i like banana cream. i also invented a strawberry cream.
th 7 please?
th4/9, but more
I'm stuck on the 5 after that
Thanks hurshy finished it
good :)
ty hurshy
wh9, please I think it is a compound work so if I can have the stats for the second work that would help
th5 = felon -- grand larceny?
someone explain to me why i felt vaguely guilty about the fact that i don't generally play sudoku anymore ? lol
the st6/18 plz
ty nan
not a compound - people or plants that fade away
st + gismo that fishing line is wrapped around
ty nan
I suppose in your case, I should have said that film is wrapped on
thanks but it is a compound word i think. It is two words put together to make a new word again I am guessing.
i would love a clue for pr7/32
w 9 is not a compound word -- it is the plural of wi 8 which is not a compound word ei6
hope that is un-subtle enough this time haha
pr + vowel + very dry
ty cnan!
sorry - you are looking for the wh 9 -- same as the he 8
ok THIS is funny. i got re8 and was thinking, wow, a star trek lingo term made it into enable! for several seconds before i remembered that it is also a college athletics lingo term, and probably that is what's in the dictionary, haha on me
never heard that in that context...
star trek, or college athletics?
we 6/42 please?
the last little piggy ran we6/42we6/42 all the way home
omg - that
that's a word?!
re8... stumped still
well since i don't know, i'll just tell everyone both. in college athletics a "re8" freshman is one who is actually in his second year of college but did not play the first year and so retains 4 years of NCAA eligibility
re 8: colour + man's garment
in star trek, on the other hand, it is a term used for people who are basically only on the show to get killed off, because in the original series the security guys (and the engineering guys but they didn't count for this purpose) wore re8.
star trek
lol
got it. there's a novel with that name too :)
we trekkies might use it when watching non-trek shows or movies if we can tell that someone is only there to be killed off, allowing the main characters to not be killed off
if you haven't read it, you should -- very funny. written by a friend of mine.
I think it won a Hugo a couple of years ago or something fancy like that.
and if you don't know and are interested, the contrast to a re8 freshman in college athletics is a "true freshman".
is it trek related, mo pie?
it is... it's a meta take on the concept of the re8
cool
is a Hugo an award named for Victor Hugo?
no, it's a sci fi/fantasy award
named for a sci-fi publisher from back in the day
aha
and thanks for the clue cybernan.. before I went off on the tangent, your clue got me to the word
the holiday dilemma...huge lunch, now do i skip dinner?

what sort of books are you selling, Gwen, bookwomen?
i do mostly nonfiction. you can see (and purchase) all our books at tomfolio.com, plus a bunch of other small bookdealers
i think bookwomen scooted
mmm. I don't read a lot of non-fiction, I am probably not very useful to your sale.
you missed the part about our site having lots of dealers. also an excellent catecory system, so it's easy to find, for example, cat mysteries or vampire romances
ah, sweet. Does helping other sellers help you?
of course! no two used books are the same, so even if we both have the same title, one might be signed, one might have some pen marks, etc
it's a cooperatively owned website.
gotcha
Fs are Flayed
well. that was fun. Hubby's suddenly sick. Usually if one of us gets ill, it's me, so makes me wonder if I'll be bad off in the middle of the night.
you done?
with the grid? no. just disappeared for 10 minutes helping hubby get set up to go to bed with a bucket.
I've got 41 words left
ah. go go go!
heh. gonna be slow going from here, i think

I am doing fine, did you have a good day?
pretty good. dinner with the family, good natured argument with the sister in law. sadly, hubby's sick now so that's less than ideal.
mine was okay too. saw people who come to church probably twice a year, dinner with my parents, napped.
sh7 clue?
sh + double vowel + consonant + vowel + consonant (all 3 vowels are same. And both consonants are same)
I'm sorry. 7/44 I meant.
