CJ25

Oh to have simple names :-)

Anyone have a cure for nausea.....?
6:13 am
Haz1558

Either ginger or peppermint are reckoned to help.
6:13 am
periwinkle

leigh - ginger tea or ginger ale might help
6:13 am
amandacath

other than 7-Up and soda crackers, you mean?
6:13 am
periwinkle

wha do think is causing it
6:14 am
leighprefect

I dunno. My mom thought it might be because I took the vicodin on an empty stomach..
6:15 am
periwinkle

that might be it
6:15 am

This is soooo bad.
6:16 am
Haz1558

leigh - have you actually been sick?
6:16 am
leighprefect

A little. And I need to get sick, but nothing comes out because there's nothing left in my stomach.
6:17 am
mrpresident

leigh, if you have nausea, it might be cause you ate something bad and actually getting it up may help.... lots of water now....
6:17 am
marso

hi mr p :) an anyone i missed
6:18 am
Haz1558

You may just need to rest - if it's worse when you move around it could be related to an inner ear problem. Why did you need to take the vicodin?
6:18 am
leighprefect

I had a tooth pulled.
6:18 am
mrpresident

well, that explains it!!
6:19 am
Haz1558

It's probably related to the tablet then. It will pass, but it's not pleasant.
6:20 am
leighprefect

I'm going to go for now. Thought I could play and it would help distract me, but it's not helping much. Thanks for the advice, everyone. I do appreciate it. Perhaps I will be back later.

6:26 am

lynxxx: no, not me, only just started and all are in alphabetical order.
6:27 am

try refreshing lynxxx - I think you came on right when the server hiccupped - maybe that's why
6:28 am
amandacath

can one of you pros tell me how many words from each of the o's - I can't find my last 2
6:29 am

8 from the left, 4 from the upper right, 1 from the lower right.

6:43 am

I'm still getting nowhere on the o's. Have everything from the righthand ones, from the left all I've got is grain, the non-foul, and the roman harbor (I hate o-words!)
6:44 am
amandacath

I tried avatar too, Sprite!
6:45 am
sprite

amanda, do you have Oi5 thin-walled spores produced by fragmentation in certain filamentous fungi?
Oi + greek for through.
6:45 am
amandacath

no, don't have that *calls greek monkeys*
6:46 am
amandacath

greek monkeys are also my friends

Ah, that plural is my roman harbor, Sprite - I'm giving up on the o's for now - too much monkeying
6:51 am
sprite

I am cranky because iwis is almost there.
6:54 am
amandacath

etwi is almost there too - or is that one of the alt. spellings?
6:55 am
sprite

amanda, do you have the singular of the harbour?
6:55 am
amandacath

yep, got that one from your clue
6:56 am
sprite

I believe it is either etui or etwee, and neither is there :(
6:57 am

Oh, and the singular of the oi too!
6:57 am
sprite

And On+S4
6:57 am

V8 - yummy!
7:01 am
sprite

Oh, another V8, and a 9! Nice grid :D
7:02 am
mattygroves

So what clues for the long v?
7:03 am
sprite

One is Va + R6/24
The other is distribution or arrangement of a system of veins, as in a leaf blade or the wing of an insect (+ plural for the 9)
7:06 am
sprite

There is an incredibly rewarding ending in this grid. Gave me lots and lots of long words :)
7:08 am
GraceM

all the long ones end the same today!
7:08 am
GraceM

(pretty much)
7:08 am
sprite

I do have one 7 that has another ending. Past tense. Lots of vowels. Catty sound.
7:09 am
GraceM

and one 8/9 pair....
7:10 am
sprite

Oh yes, that beautiful Tz pair :)
7:13 am
amandacath

Pair? got Ivan, but I it won't take anything I've tried for Catherine...
7:14 am
sprite

Did you find Mi7/44, to speak erroneously?

And no, the pair was plural and singular, not man and wife, alas.

Marc doesn't even need monkeys, lol.
7:17 am

7:17 am

I have the st5/12 with s in front of what a watch tells but I need a clue on the other one? Don't understand the monkey comment?

Sprite, I have a lot of friends in Vlodrop now. I was there last year at this time and I love Holland.
7:18 am

I have Ivan, but not his wife, or any plurals...
7:19 am
amandacath

Ah, found it - had tried it with each of those consonants in the ending, but not with both!
7:19 am
sprite

S + past tense of what you do with laces.
I meant you don't need monkeys if you have such a smart cat.
Nice you've been to Holland!

7:24 am
carrie5752

I meant 4 point letter
7:25 am
amandacath

thanks sprite - don't think I would ever have come up with that one! It uses all the vowels, btw, just for useless babble-trivia
7:25 am
mattygroves

I can't find any of the tz words except the four letter
7:26 am
sprite

Yes, it does, it's a kind of fun word that way :)
7:26 am
carrie5752

matty do some monkey typing. You know the 4 letter start, that there's a 4 point letter in there somewhere and that you can put a plural ending on it.
7:27 am
amandacath

the other tz's are 8/80 and 9/102 - you should be able to monkey it from the values
7:27 am
GraceM

cool thx sprite...
7:27 am
bonkler

tz + first vowel + race an engine + one hump letter and a vowel then plural
7:28 am

we are very lucky though. he is still young and we found a wonderful school that is JUST for aspie, add, etc., kids. classes are very small (10 or less), and the teachers work very closely with the kids, paying careful attention to social development.

I parked two houses away and let our neighbor know it was my van in her drive. No problem. She started to tell me about a fancy garden art show she will host next month and invited us to attend... so I sent the boys home to feed the dogs and wait for me.
8:35 pm

Matthew was incensed that Grant had played a trick on him and locked one door while he was unlocking another...
8:38 pm
jillibus

go on...
8:38 pm
stidmama

Tom was understandably trying to figure out what the problem was, when other doors were obviously wide open.
8:39 pm
jillibus

....gasp!
8:39 pm
stidmama

Grant was playing the innocent wide-eyed child (as if he didn't know that it would really push Matthew's buttons).
8:39 pm
stidmama

And I broke down in tears.
8:39 pm

8:40 pm
stidmama

Well -- obviously Matthew is on restriction, Grant is trying to make up for it by being an angel. My knees hurt (the arthritis doesn't like to run) and poor Tom came home to a house and family in disarray...
8:40 pm
Anniebrook

Oh, feather - she's 89 and has your stereotypical Jewish pessimism - I'm not sure she can handle it. And I'm sure she thinks computers are the devil...

It's hard enough keeping up here without othergamebabble!!!!
10:31 pm

I figured from that it was a strange phrase.... then I opened the game up, and looked at the spaces and guessed that there would be no E, no R, no S, no T, none of the easy picks... so I started with O, and then ruled out X, and then picked A... then I pondered the phrase __ O __ __ __ __ A __ for a bit and figured FOUL PLAY was a pretty good guess for a farily tough one.

A couple years ago my mother and I took the boys to see her mother and aunt. Went to a little place called Pebble Beach just north of Pismo and walked out on the pier. I always thought sharks were pretty rare. but there was a fin cruising the water just beyond where the surfers were lined up....
11:56 pm
Babblephish

they are very common here
11:56 pm
Babblephish

and the water is way too cold
11:57 pm
mymuseisme

that would be enough for me to swim n a pool only
11:57 pm
stidmama

and then the really surprising thing... a dog on a fishing boat was just walking around and all of a sudden a HUGE sealion lunged out of the water and tried to grab him! Poor puppy ran backwards in the air and up to the cabin and hid...
11:57 pm
Babblephish
