1:36 am

Debs40ish

Ermm I know I'm back but this looks like a different puzzle or am I just going mad!

1:37 am

Debs40ish

Am I only one here?

1:38 am

Dr_God

I don't know what just happened. Apparently the server folks took the server down again, and in doing so, erased everything that happened in the brief period the site was up about an hour ago. Ugh.

1:38 am

Debs40ish

l7/36 r7/36

1:38 am

Debs40ish

Hiya Doc... think Im the only one here....lol

1:39 am

Debs40ish

This is a different game isn't it?

1:40 am

Dr_God

It is a different puzzle. You're not going mad. ;)

1:41 am

Debs40ish

Thank god for that....lol

1:41 am

Charlie

so is this the correct one for 1/6?

1:42 am

Debs40ish

No the other one was but its lost in cyber space....

1:42 am

Hugabugs

What happened?

1:43 am

Debs40ish

I dunno... one minute I was here doing quite well then poofffffffffff gone and another puzzle appears!

1:43 am

Hugabugs

Awww... I had written a whole bunch of words for the other one. I had found both 8's too! :o(

1:43 am

melissamay

So will the old one be put back up, or is this the official puzzle for today?

1:44 am

Morning, FMitch. I already completed that one -- there was another up briefly that was meant for today but it's gone now, so that's what we're referring to.

1:50 am

melissamay

Thanks, brandyjack. We don't pay you nearly enough :)

1:50 am

Debs40ish

Morning Jack....

1:50 am

Mornin Debs, melissa....

1:51 am

cybernan

B-jack -- thank you!

1:51 am

cybernan

Don't know about the rest of you, but I was really into that other puzzle with all the 7's!

1:51 am

Griffums

....so does that mean if we just stick around a while we might see a puzzle we like even better than this one? :)
Woof all.

1:52 am

cybernan

Just checked! -- more words, more 7's!

1:52 am

Griffums

(abashedly goes off to hunt non-Xmas icon)

1:52 am

GreyWoulf

Hello and hugs to everyone -- just stopped by to see if the site was back up yet before turning in -- and found the 10 first thing -- will be back later to find more

1:52 am

Hugabugs

L8/55

1:53 am

GreyWoulf

So the next question is -- does the loss of yesterday's grid mean that it has no impact on our ratings as well?

1:54 am

Griffums

Yeah, I need to know that too. I can hardly sleep at night wondering about my rating. :))))))

1:54 am

melissamay

Good question, GreyWoulf -- but I doubt it, given that it was zapped clean gone. I guess Dr. God can clarify.

1:55 am

brandyjack

Yesterdays grid is not lost, in fact it is still open to be completeed until noon.
It was the first grid for today that was lost. It is replaced by this one.

1:55 am

melissamay

And I must say I'm impressed by all you folks finding the biggies straight out the gate -- my mind is still looking for lovely q words :)

1:56 am

Griffums

Holy cow, so I really could be doing two grids at once? Woo hoo!

1:56 am

moncrunchr

But I already entered a bunch of words on the one that got lost. Bummer.

1:56 am

GreyWoulf

LOL, Griff :D

It's just a question -- I would forget about the ratings if there wasn't the big blue star saying 'View Player Ratings' at the top of the page

1:57 am

mrpresident

hey BrandyJack- did you do a hardware upgrade? Well done bye the way - very fast.

1:57 am

Hugabugs

E7/32

1:57 am

brandyjack

Um, melissa, perhaps you should look at the stats first. According to mine, there are none in this grid..... That's the old grid :P

1:57 am

Griffums

I know - in my case it should say "View How Far You've Fallen Because You Keep Skipping Out On Grids"

1:57 am

GreyWoulf

Oh! Thanks, brandyjack -- I think you just cleared up a bunch of confusion for many of us!

1:58 am

mrpresident

oops BrandyJack <> Dr god

1:59 am

brandyjack

No, i'm not him..... I just post meaningless stats to play with peoples minds....

1:59 am

Debs40ish

Doc was here... think he's gone to a dark padded room to lay down...

1:59 am

melissamay

brandyjack, that's what I meant -- my brain is still in the old puzzle! Which I'll shut up about now, since it's only confusing people who didn't see it for the brief time it was up.

2:00 am

GreyWoulf

OK -- time for me to go!

My neighbor will be fixing my computer this weekend, so I don't know if I will be around much -- so
(*Hugs for everyone*)

and see you later!

2:00 am

Griffums

bye-bye gw!

Ho Hum

c8/55 builds from c5/12

4:48 am

melissamay

Co8 hint here in case anyone needs it. I had a devil of a time finding the co5 the co8 builds from. It'll be easier for Aussies than Americans. The co 5 has doubled vowels, and the 8 has the gerund ending.

4:49 am

Haz1558

The co 5/12 is a kind of call for attention.

4:51 am

melissamay

Oh, and sorry if I was unclear -- by doubled vowels for the co 5/12 I meant 2 sets of doubled vowels. The the co 8 builds from there.

4:53 am

melissamay

Does anyone have a clue for the he8/55, by any chance?

5:00 am

Yoink

I guess that's a no...

5:04 am

melissamay

I guess so, Yoink. Either that, or I've confused everyone so much with my co8 clue that they've given up the ghost entirely.

5:06 am

Ho Hum

he8/44 no def.
take yr he4/5 that sounds like a greeting, add a consonant and then a short word - if someone asked you how old you are, they could also ask your a**.

5:07 am

SweetTooth

He 8 - the state/condition of being a serf. Build on he 5/12

5:08 am

Ho Hum

even better clue esp as I didn't have the he5

5:11 am

melissamay

Ah! I'd been trying to add ing to that he5 instead; thank you so much Ho Hum and Sweet Tooth!

6:34 am

judierae

7:19 am

Frances

faeriekae
Snort! What does snort mean /* *\

7:20 am

faeriekae

Evanadine - good morning *throws faerie dust at Evan to help the waking up process*

7:22 am

faeriekae

Frances - to inhale through nostrals.....lol....

7:24 am

Frances

faeriekae

Frances

faeriekae

8:52 am

ToeSockMonkey

why can't "poot" be a word!?

8:52 am

MissyMe

Peri ac4/5 this was what thespians do on stage. They ac* out their part. Now add a vowel at the end

8:53 am

Mubner

Angelsong - do you have a clue for the ag7/36?

8:53 am

tbear

Missy us gorgeous gals gotta stick together,do you think that enlightened finger could give me a winter suntan if you didn't get too close......

8:54 am

tbear

I rock.....just got the ag8......I rock

8:55 am

MissyMe

I've been cruising the beaches doing that very thing, (for a small fee), but I'll give you a treatment for free. :) Fame has it's perks...

8:55 am

Angelsong

ag7/36: a washing machine might do this change the e to another vowel

8:55 am

tbear

I rock but i can't count....make that a seven

8:55 am

movieman

tbear, how 'bout giving the rest of us a clue for the ag8 then.......?

8:56 am

Mubner

Thanks, Angelsong, stumbled all around it.

8:57 am

tbear

Missy....let me be your embassador IT WORKED...refresh and see the new me...not only in colour but slimmer....now that's what I call a magic finger....gimme gimme gimme

8:58 am

MissyMe

Toesock...I believe poot is a word...Didn't it show up in one of Shakespear's plays?

"Poot Yorick...I knew him well..."

8:58 am

efor1124

ok, that was weird.. i logged out to change my icon (seems like an 80's movie theme today?). i never saw it change my other postings to the new icon before... oh well! long live the 80s anyway!! :)

8:59 am

tbear

Movieman...and now for the non-existent ag8, as before then any letter of your choice....haha..(oops, shopuldn't be laughing like h4 today)

8:59 am

movieman

yes, tbear, had a feeling you made a boo-boo....

9:00 am

MissyMe

!!! tbear It's never worked that well before! You are lovely. Yes, I would love to have you represent me :)

9:01 am

tbear

movieman i did confess at 8.55...math never one of my better subjects..

9:02 am

tbear

Missy aren't I....I want whatever Bette's on these days...oooo oh yes it's your finger....hmmmm is this getting a little outta hand...shall I go do some vacumning...getting a little over excitabubble....

9:03 am

tbear

Have hyacinths on my table...think the aroma is getting to me....or the fun fun spirit of my grandmother who loved them...

9:04 am

Angelsong

clue for at6/24: You need this to successfully create a college term paper.

9:05 am

MissyMe

first ag7 is a word like irritated, excited, or like what a washing machine does to get clothes clean...it makes this type of movement. Change the last letter to a different vowel.

second ag7 Related to or descended from the father's or male side, (drop the "e" and add an "ic"ky ending to it)

9:07 am

MissyMe

tbear ewww vacuuming...ewww What a lovely sentiment that those flowers remind you of your mom :)

9:09 am

tbear

That'll be my Grandmom Missy...she died beautifully two years ago,but still lives very much in this house and my heart. Complete doll,who laughed thru all adversity and made our childhood magical. bet she's got the whole crowd up there ROFLing...

Missy, I was reading your profile, the bauldur's Gate Icewind Dale game, is it a spin off from the Salvatore book? I just recently started reading him and enjoy him quite a bit. It'd be nice to find a game that goes with the story...

10:27 am

sherb

10:27 am

bunnyvicious

I just can't seem to make and lead way today, stuck in moron mode...

10:32 am

hurshy

10:32 am

sherb

Bette Midler? ...looks more like Jessica Lange... I definitely need new glasses...

10:33 am

bunnyvicious

Hurshy, sorry, can't see it well. Maybe I need glasses too, what is it?

10:33 am

Norad

Good morning all and Happy Epiphany! Maybe one of these days my icon will actually match the theme...of course that would mean my 16 year old would have to show me how to do it... :)

10:33 am

hurshy

mine's the princess bride

10:34 am

tbear

Of course...Lola...we gunna have fun that nite girl..we'll go clubbing after....ooo and dinner...I'll start saving (bottle tops) Sherb it's Bette Midlers new slimline look...isn't she faberoo. Cheating a bit but have an 80s icon which I've been using on and off...my ex step-father said I remind him of her....which I love,I think!!

10:34 am

sherb

hi Norad, and Happy Epiphany :)

10:34 am

bunnyvicious

oooh, good one, my girl's love that movie

10:35 am

lola100

Hi norad : )

tbear, you bet we are! ; )

10:35 am

Norad

Hurshy, you've intrigued me... clues for the co 8? ...I can only get co 6...

10:35 am

Jen

Okay, I have moved on from Out of Africa to my idol of middle school years, this pic from Young Guns. Refresh please!

10:36 am

sherb

tbear - I'd be very happy to be compared with Bette... :)

10:36 am

Ouwachita

DONE...anyone need a clue???

10:37 am

hurshy

co 8 builds ridiculously off the previous co 5/12, a cockney british expression of wonder

10:37 am

Mary

hurshy, co8/55 The funniest word in babble, do you have a clue?

10:38 am

Ouwachita

mary...co8/55...5 vowels in a row

10:38 am

hurshy

yeah, o'chita, i need both ga 6's

10:38 am

Mary

Thanks, hurshy, got it, it is THE dumbest ever.

10:39 am

tbear

Sherb...I love her too but he's so sarcastic (ic ending word not in todays puzzle) you never know where he's coming from....'Stella' was one he never failed to mention once I'd had my first girl and he's gone on from there....She fab and loud and funny and soft and overemotional and everything,a rounded person...

10:39 am

Ouwachita

ga6...2nd one is the act of ga4.4...the 1st ga6...just change the middle consonant

10:40 am

hurshy

ty

10:44 am

bunnyvicious

Anyone have the he 8/55? Feel like I'm looking right at it but can't see it.

10:44 am

Norad

Hurshy, sometimes it takes me awhile...Thx, it is funny...

10:45 am

tbear

bunny try he4 greeting minus one consonant PLUS the 3 letter word that has the price on and a vowel

10:46 am

Ouwachita

he8...take the he5/12 just ahead of it and add the number of years you have been alive

10:47 am

bunnyvicious

Great clue! Thanks a million (apparently I haven't been looking right at it!).

10:49 am

hurshy

both le's

10:50 am

hurshy

oh, monkeytyped the double vowelled one

10:51 am

hurshy

and the other one - there is no surer way to get words than to ask for clues for them!

10:52 am

Jen

Hurshy, there's no def for the other one but if you google a Hungarian composer of the opera, "the merry widow", take his name and take out the "a"

10:56 am

12:08 pm

EasternBlue

joey - if you refresh, it will sometimes appear...(f5)

12:08 pm

joey

12:09 pm

mamabear

joey - yesterday's grid was held open for a while til noon today (CST) - maybe you were on yesterday's.

12:09 pm

GreyWoulf

joey -- apparently there was a server glitch after the flip and the first new one for today was eaten by the minions of the derver gods :)

12:09 pm

Anj

Evening All : )

Has the server settled down now??

12:10 pm

mamabear

Hi Anj - seems like it!!!

12:10 pm

Yoink

Joey, yesterday's puzzle lasted longer than usual due to some downtime, the changeover was later because of it.

Woulf, cool movie you've chosen :D

Hi Anj :)

12:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Anj -- seem stable enough since I was on this AM

12:10 pm

joey

12:11 pm

EasternBlue

hi Anj...

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

12:11 pm

mamabear

12:26 pm

mamabear

I do not like the a's, I swear
I do not like them here nor there.
I do not like them anywhere.

12:26 pm

Punster

Those A's are a little sickening aren't they? I was real happy when I finished them, and so will you be :-)

12:26 pm

Anj

Wow! I've got that one Mickie:

12:26 pm

12:30 pm

mickie

Thanks everyone!

12:31 pm

Punster

And same to you with yours

12:33 pm

movieman

As far as I can remember, punster, that's the very last scene in Batman isn't it....?

12:35 pm

Punster

Yeah, I figured you'd recognise it :->

If anyone needs help I'm online for a time yet and I'm pretty much finished the grid

12:35 pm

Anj

Yipe! Don't click on the [close] option on Dr God's message...
everything vanishes : /

12:36 pm

Yoink

I noticed that too Anj, it should have a warning, babblers close this notice at their own risk

12:36 pm

movieman

alright, punster, give us a clue for the co8 then.....

12:36 pm

mamabear

Yeah, Anj - I learned that the hard way!!!!

12:37 pm

Punster

Anj, too late I already did and almost died on the spot - it really freaked me out!

12:37 pm

renfield

me too mama and anj...we all vanish into cyberspace...

12:37 pm

speedfreak sam

hi everyone!

12:37 pm

Punster

extend the co5/12

12:37 pm

Anj

*phew!* thought my ISP was going to go breasts up again...

12:37 pm

GoBraves

the co8 is bogus in my mind, but it is the present tense of a word with 4 vowels in a row

12:38 pm

Hugabugs

Hi All.... How's it going?

12:38 pm

EasternBlue

Hi Sam...how's that new game you didn't know about that you rec'd for Channukkah??

12:38 pm

efor1124

hey again all! how's the babbling going?

12:38 pm

GoBraves

and oops - 5 in a row for the co/8

12:38 pm

Yoink

Hi Sam, hi Hugabugs :)

12:38 pm

EasternBlue

Hi Hugs!

12:38 pm

movieman

punster- that's never a word in a million years.....

12:39 pm

Anj

...oh yes it is lol!

12:39 pm

Hugabugs

Hi Yoink... Hi EB.... long time no see EB!

12:39 pm

Anj

Hi Hugs : )

12:40 pm

Punster

I believe the co8/55 is a completely invented word 'cos I can't believe its real

12:40 pm

GoBraves

I agree punster - most dubious word I have ever seen in this game

12:40 pm

EasternBlue

Hugs - I was away for the holidays...
I'll be travelling for work next week...so I'm trying to get my Babble fix this whole week!!

12:42 pm

brandyjack

The co8/55 may be dubious, but it has a definition. Or rather, the co5 it's based on has a definition and shows the extension.... Compared to so many of the words without a definition at the default dictionary.....

12:43 pm

Hugabugs

Hi Anj! :o)

12:43 pm

EasternBlue

attribute it to those crazy Aussies (they're all sleeping now, right??) 8 D

12:45 pm

mamabear

Left for a minute - came back to find all these intriguing messages re the co 8... now I must find it.... *mamabear dons her miner's hat and clicks on the light*

12:46 pm

speedfreak sam

I can't get the co8 at all!

12:47 pm

movieman

I'm leaving the game for the time being, I keep losing my Broadband connection.....

12:47 pm

EasternBlue

Sam - it's built off of a 5 (def. is here)
A peculiar cry uttered by the Australian aborigines as a call to attract attention, and also in common use among the Australian colonists

12:48 pm

speedfreak sam

see ya movieman!

12:48 pm

brandyjack

Sam, do you have the co5/12 that meane 'one who makes the sound of a dove or pigeon'?

12:49 pm

speedfreak sam

yes

12:49 pm

Anj

Movie, might be the Sober Worm getting jiggy wid it... My ISP has been suffering a bit as well... : /

12:50 pm

shorty

12:52 pm

Punster

Too bad for you movieman, I hope it firms up enough for you to finish up later.

I'm going to bug out myself, as I've managed to wrap up the grid and my mind needs a rest (and some caffeine) so I bid you all adieu.

12:53 pm

brandyjack

Sam, change the ending consonent to match the last vowel, (unless you already have the co with two sets of double vowels) then add a common three letter end'ing'...

12:53 pm

speedfreak sam

see ya punster!

12:53 pm

shorty

I see alot of people like dirty dancing another great movie Patrick Swayze hottie

12:54 pm

brandyjack

We may like dirty dancing, whether or not we like the movie is something else....

12:54 pm

shorty

Brandyjack who is your icon? The reason I ask is he looks like my brother -in law

12:54 pm

speedfreak sam

12:54 pm

4:13 pm

sherb

Jessie - saw her a few days ago... seemed a bit more subdued than usual... don't know if she's played since then

4:14 pm

Dachef

Evan - fab icon! But can anyone settle a long runing dispue between me and my sister - at the end of the film in Evans icon, the boy shouts a name out of the window, but it is indistinguishable. I will give a pineapple to anyone who can actually make it out.....

4:14 pm

sherb

lo - the to4 is the French for roof

4:15 pm

tbear

Lola what boys like to play with to4/4 singular and then the person doing the to4........lowering the tone...!!

EvaNadine

*MOONCHILD!!*

4:16 pm

Dachef

"Moonchild"?!?! That was the name of his mother!?!? Suddenly, the movie has taken on a whole new meaning....

4:16 pm

EvaNadine

my college roommie actually wrote a paper based on the movie...
one of her main points was that the name was intelligible + purposely so -- so anyone could relate to it.
then she downloaded the script + saw the real name...heh...her theory was blown to bits!

4:16 pm

tbear

evanadine....eh?? Moonchild...bit random

4:16 pm

EvaNadine

precisely!

4:17 pm

Dachef

But that would mean Paula Yates was his grandmother!

4:17 pm

tbear

ok thought we might have to call the Babble emergency services for a minute there

4:17 pm

EvaNadine

*shrug*
thats just what i know...heh

4:18 pm

lola100

sherb, tbear, thank you! : )

4:21 pm

EvaNadine

dachef...you said you + your sister had an argument over it?
what was the other choice?

4:24 pm

Dachef

there were no choices - she said that it was Sebastian, the same name as him, but my argument was that that was really stupid. The real answer seems even more ridiculous.

4:25 pm

lola100

Aaargh, I hate the T's : (
Please help with the ta6/18 and the ta5/14 *lola bats eyelashes*

4:25 pm

4:27 pm

sherb

lola

ta6/18 - a narrow band or ribbon for the hair that was worn in ancient Greece (ends like the Chronicles of Nar***)

7:05 pm

evanonut

* delicately picks at teeth *

7:08 pm

hurshy

oh, and is everyone amused by co8/55?

7:08 pm

Cathy

hi hurshy !! it's a tough one today, isn't it? I'm down to my last few words, though, and starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel

7:09 pm

hurshy

me too, missy.

7:09 pm

evanonut

7:09 pm

MissyMe

co8 one was siillyying

7:09 pm

hurshy

yeah, i mean, when i finished, i was actually taken by surprise, bc i had not thought it was near!

7:10 pm

EasternBlue

hi kids...done with work (sort of) and thought I'd come back to tackle the last 100...ugh...this puzzle is never-ending!!

7:10 pm

hurshy

grubs? not a VERY appetizing theme...
mine is the princess bride

7:10 pm

MissyMe

Hi Blue I loved that movie...so funny!

7:11 pm

evanonut

oh yes, now i remember. #1 best selling movie of all time. but i'll take harry potter.

7:11 pm

hurshy

well now, i love harry potter, but i can't say the movies are all that great. they don't compare to the books.

7:12 pm

MissyMe

My all time favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption but there are so many others....*sigh*

7:12 pm

evanonut

not as good as the books, true...but do you really think it is possible?

7:12 pm

EasternBlue

Missy - that is an awesome movie!

7:12 pm

hurshy

evanonut

7:14 pm

MissyMe

Blue...wasn't it a delcious movie? So perfect from beginning to end!

7:15 pm

7:24 pm

EasternBlue

Missy - not for 2 more years...it's a long term plan!!

7:24 pm

MissyMe

ga 6/30 this is like the word below it only with a different end"ing"

7:24 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, don't think I have the first ro4/4
and actually I need help with both ro7/36

7:25 pm

MissyMe

Blue...that's pretty much where we're at...we're waiting for prices to come down

7:25 pm

EasternBlue

mama - ga + vowel + popular end___ in this puzzle!!

7:25 pm

mamabear

Missyme - I watched the first 3 Potter movies this week while I was home sick..... I thoroughly enjoyed them!!!!!

7:26 pm

MissyMe

its the second ro4/4 its like what you find under the dirt on every plant

7:27 pm

MissyMe

Mama I've seen the first two...such fun! They were real eye candy!

7:28 pm

MissyMe

both of the ro7's use that same ro4/4 word as their base...

7:28 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, I did have the right ro4/4, thank you.

7:28 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, found the other ro4/4

7:29 pm

MissyMe

7:30 pm

MissyMe

The last ro7 has a different end"ing" than the other which is like the time in history, the stone***

7:32 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, thanks got it(the ro/7/36

7:33 pm

MissyMe

Peri Yw :)

7:33 pm

periwinkle

I don't think I have ever asked for so many clues before. ne6/24 and ne7/36x2 please

7:34 pm

mamabear

clue on last ga 5/14 please?

7:35 pm

EasternBlue

mama - think crocodile...

7:35 pm

EasternBlue

mama...and it's nearby 'cousin' (abbreviated)

7:35 pm

MissyMe

Peri, I found this puzzle very frustrating!
ne6/24 this is when you cancel something out

the others are people who actually do the canceling, change the vowels in each suffix to get both words

7:36 pm

mamabear

thanks EB!!!!! an actual word, no less!!!! *embarassed*

7:36 pm

MissyMe

lol Mama! :D

7:37 pm

periwinkle

MissyMe, thanks so much, yes I am finding this puzzle quite frustrating and difficult.

7:39 pm

mamabear

7:40 pm

MissyMe

ha 6/27 its like the word below it but with a different end"ing"

7:40 pm

EasternBlue

mama - like the ga 6 you were looking for earlier!

7:41 pm

periwinkle

Begging for clues again, to finish off the N's - ni5/12 and ni4/4

7:42 pm

EasternBlue

I'm working through the l's right now...no n's yet!

7:45 pm

Jacula

ni5/12 - think Ms. Kidman without the last vowel.
ni4/4 - a time of darkness with a different spelling.

7:45 pm

MissyMe

the base word of ha6/27 means "to have" and sounds like "hay" but change the last letter to a vowel. Now add an end"ing" to it :)

I hope that's a better clue :)

7:47 pm

periwinkle

Jacula, thanks found the ni/5 - I had tried it with the e on the end and it did not work, didn't think to drop the e. Still can't find that stupid ni4/4

7:48 pm

EasternBlue

peri - think of the opposite of morning....for the ni 4

7:49 pm

Jacula

Peri - opposite of 'day' or a chap on a white charger killing dragons or rescuing damsels.

7:49 pm

periwinkle

EB - DUH, I swore that I had typed that ni4/4 already.

7:50 pm

mamabear

8:15 pm

Jacula

I'm here for clue-giving for a while, if anyone needs some.

8:15 pm

periwinkle

Didn't go quite yet, there is an A word I am missing that has to do with rocks and I can't quite get the spelling

8:16 pm

mamabear

8:16 pm

EasternBlue

peri -
it's a + what you walk through in a 'fence' to go to the front door of the house...

8:17 pm

mamabear

EB - you know it!!!!

8:18 pm

periwinkle

I think it is the ag7/36

8:19 pm

gwenski

ag7: think of what a washing machine does, but end with a different vowel. Or someone who stirs up trouble.

8:19 pm

EasternBlue

peri -
the ag 7 /36 - not related to the rocks...it's what you are trying to find the word!!

8:19 pm

MissyMe

peri think what a washing machine does when it cleans close, it ag***** to do it. Now add a different vowel at the end

8:19 pm

gnubee

I have:

the optic part
to fix a fork
to change color
to prepare to manufacture another item

8:21 pm

periwinkle

EB and Jacula, thanks found it

8:21 pm

EasternBlue

gnubee - not quite to the r's yet...sorry!

8:21 pm

8:32 pm

melissamay

8:33 pm

MissyMe

melissamay Yay!

8:37 pm

MissyMe

I was right to name him Einstein

He thanx you for the banana with a polite bow, EB

8:38 pm

melissamay

No prob, harpjane -- I can hang out for another half hour or so if your monkeys get tired. Mine sure did!

8:38 pm

mamabear

re 8/45?

8:39 pm

MissyMe

harpjane...this puzzle is a braintwister! I think several people have mentioned the same thing--that we had to struggle for every word!

8:39 pm

EasternBlue

Missy - gotta love those chimps...
I'd love to adopt a real live chimp...he or she might do better on this grid than me...
I've always wanted a chimp - they are so darn cute!

8:39 pm

MissyMe

re 8/45 this means you're reluctant to do something, holding back

8:39 pm

melissamay

re8 means shy, retiring. Take the first 4 letters of the re5 before it and add a word meaning a penny.

8:42 pm

melissamay

The dictionary def for re8 word for word is:
Inclined to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself.
That might help if you need to google!

8:42 pm

MissyMe

EB they can be very difficult and get quite nasty in old age if not treated properly. I remember one chimp that had been raised in capitivity and donated in his older years to the San Francisco Zoo...he used to spit at people. So the zookeepers put a plastic screen up in front of his cage. Despite this, he spit over the screen through the top of his cage and hit people every time!

8:42 pm

mamabear

thanks mm.... now I gotta find the 5's above and below it!

8:43 pm

EasternBlue

Missy - I bet he was pissed he wasn't with his "family" any more...he showed them! That made me laugh!!

8:44 pm

mamabear

how about the first re 7/36 and next 6/24?

8:44 pm

harpjane

lo 8/55? I might as well start with the big ones!

8:44 pm

MissyMe

EB I was thinking the same thing. :( It was his way of showing his anger because now he was caged.

8:45 pm

EasternBlue

harp -
we've been lo ______ words in this grid (or not!) all day!!

8:45 pm

Jacula

Mama - the re5 below it is what you do to your shoelaces if they come undone. The re5 above it is the same but with a diff. vowel ending.

8:45 pm

mamabear

heck, there's a few people I would like to spit at!!!!!!

8:45 pm

MissyMe

Does anyone remember the movie, The Angry Red Planet? I just got it on DVD and forgot how weird the "technomagic" effects were. I'm thinking now it was one of those films you had to use the 3D glasses to watch. Anyone know if that's correct?

Hi Mamabear!

9:53 pm

MissyMe

K :) I'll hunt some 3D glasses down somewhere and see if that makes the scenes on mars pop out at me

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Missy -- just hit the IMDB -- here's the trivia bit they give:

The "Cinemagic" process, used for all scenes on the surface of Mars, was the result of an attempt by producer Norman Maurer to turn live-action footage directly into hand-drawn animation - or to simulate that. This would enable hand-drawn backgrounds to look as real (or as unreal) as the live action footage.

9:53 pm

renfield

the unguarded hour..mez either records or buys them for me...

9:54 pm
