mrpresident

Hello everyone!

3:06 am

jillibus

Haz - is that you in your icon?

Haz1558

Yes, it is. Spangle wanted a rest.

3:07 am

jillibus

Pretty lady!

3:07 am

Haz1558

Thank you, jillibus. I can't see it myself!

3:08 am

jillibus

Why not, haz?

3:08 am

Frances

Morning Haz

3:08 am

Haz1558

I can see the icon, but can't see the pretty!

3:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning Frances. Another grid to struggle through today....

3:09 am

jillibus

Well, you should!

3:09 am

Frances

Yes - might be a hard slog!

3:10 am

jillibus

Frances - I almost used that picture ;-)

3:12 am

Frances

It was a toss up between this, the fish or the long eared animal.

3:12 am

Frances

The booze won!

3:13 am

jillibus

me too, but you can see what won

3:13 am

Haz1558

So, was I right in thinking that Friday had been designated a word in the grid icon day? In which case I will change.

3:13 am

mrpresident

what is the icon theme today??

3:13 am

jillibus

I've deserved one so often

3:13 am

Frances

Correct Haz

3:13 am

mrpresident

3:23 am

SueMagee

True, Mr P.

3:24 am

jillibus

Haz - I thought I knew your clue but I was wrong

3:24 am

Haz1558

fl4/8 is my icon.

3:25 am

mrpresident

If you don't use the list, you are a friggin genius!! to finish this one!

3:26 am

Haz1558

Some people may be able to do it without a list or clues, but most would have to have assistance somewhere along the line. I take all the help I can get!

3:27 am

SueMagee

Me too!

3:28 am

mattygroves

And me! Though I generally use the list once I get home, rather than at work.

3:30 am

melonheadjujube

3:38 am

mrpresident

tankfully you are safe!

3:39 am

lshult

a local bo (21) was killed two days ago, lots of people are going to the funeral. Brings it all closer. Doubt it will be the last one before it's all over!!

3:40 am

mrpresident

Such a shame it all came to this... I feel for both countries and hope the UN does something sane soon.

3:40 am

lshult

so do we all

3:41 am

melonheadjujube

i'm so sorry. i've only been to Israel once. actually i have avolunterr opportunity in beit sh'an but my family won't let me go just now. of all things, i had hoped to take a side trip to haifa.

3:43 am

ARB

Shalom Everyone

3:43 am

lshult

Beit Sh'an has been hit by rockets, so mabey it's not the best time unless you can find something further south

3:43 am

lshult

Shalom ARB

3:44 am

melonheadjujube

Beit Shan is Cleveland, OH's sister city, so we are particularly affected by that news.

3:44 am

melonheadjujube

shalom, ARB, my friend!

3:44 am

melonheadjujube

I've been wondering about you.

3:44 am

ARB

3:48 am

melonheadjujube

glad you had a getaway ARB.

3:48 am

mrpresident

Hermitage is a nice wine here!! and a bit of Volga would go down nicely too

3:48 am

ARB

Best news / Worst news. Our daughter has agreed to become the offical spokesperson for the prime minister's office. This is going to mean a lot of child caring for my husband and me.

3:49 am

melonheadjujube

Some nights I cry myself to sleep over the news.

3:49 am

mrpresident

melon, time to stop watching the news darling heart!

3:49 am

melonheadjujube

3:53 am

jaydee

Yes, but it was still good to be there for a while,

3:55 am

ARB

We go there at the end of the month for Labor Day Weekend with our daughter and granddaughter in Vermont and then on to Chicago for a week. Back before the hagim.

3:56 am

jaydee

My daughter and twin grand daughters are in NY,hence the reason for going as often as poss.Im going back for the hagim

3:57 am

ARB

I agree. Got to keep contact with those grandchildren despite the miles. I was there in March as well as June.

4:04 am

melonheadjujube

4:19 am

mrpresident

I am officially, in my capacity as a babbler, declaring this grid KLINGON!

4:19 am

melonheadjujube

4:20 am

mrpresident

cause if you can recognise any of these strange words other than!! good luck!!

4:20 am

Haz1558

It's a shocker, mrpresident. Let's just hope not too many new people try this today or it will put them right off!

4:21 am

mrpresident

put them off alright!! I am put off!!

4:21 am

Frances

Not just me then. I've struggled to 61 and now I'm banging my head on the wall!

4:21 am

Haz1558

I'm persisting out of stubbornness, but I keep wondering - how on earth can you clue that?

4:22 am

Angb

Hi all. Has anyone got any idea what the ae words are? I am sure I have tried ALL combinations of letters LOL

4:22 am

mrpresident

I can't clue most of these without 'spelling them out!'... I don't like it, but I might have to zip it during clue time!

4:23 am

Haz1558

ae plus the American Secret Service, and then a consonant ending for the adjective ae5.

4:23 am

mrpresident

Angb... it isn't english!! hope you have a second language... preferably klingon! to help you

4:23 am

Angb

Oh dear ... no ... is this going to be a bad start to my weekend?

4:23 am

mrpresident

oh Haz! you will be the shining star today! even though I don't get it.... still love ya!

4:24 am

Angb

Haz I am sure I tried that one. Even the computer didn't recognise it LOL.

4:24 am

kalea

hello all

4:24 am

PappouTed

Hi everyone, well, this looks a bit easier than yesterdays

4:25 am

Haz1558

ae 5/12 - to do with rust spores. American secret service goes under initials to do with intelligence.....

4:25 am

mrpresident

ha ha ha ha ha ha... you are funny ted!!

4:25 am

Angb

Thanx Haz. The worry I have is that you had worked out that that was a word! Are you a Klingon?

4:26 am

mrpresident

hehehehehe angb!

4:26 am

Haz1558

No, Angb - it has been in the grid before, but my secret weapon is www.morewords.com. I can't stand monkeying around with letters, scanning word lists is more my style.

4:27 am

PappouTed

Does morewords work the same way as A2Z?

4:27 am

mrpresident

Haz is a 'smart woman!' and she clues like a klingon!

4:27 am

Angb

Yes, I don't mind testing MY vocabulary. But who uses this one?

4:27 am

Angb

mrpresdent, how's the weather across the Tasman?

4:28 am

Haz1558

If you know the first and second letters and the number value - type the letters you know, leave dashes for the rest and it brings up the word list. A great resource in my opinion.

4:28 am

kalea

10 more to go, and my monkey is demanding overtime pay

4:28 am

mrpresident

bloody marvellous! fine fine and fine across the NSW region

4:28 am

Angb

I have just added that link to my favourites ...

4:28 am

kalea

oops.........20 more

4:28 am

Angb

Hope you are sending some our way then!

4:28 am

sherb

morning all :) ...99 words in my 30 minute challenge this morning...

4:28 am

mrpresident

4:33 am

Angb

Believe it or not I have all those G words. I just have real probs with vowel starting words!!!!

4:34 am

MADDIE!

4:34 am

sherb

4:35 am

sherb

there's two that start like the kind of dog David Blunkett has...

4:36 am

Angb

gu 4/8 = to lead someone but leave off the last vowel

4:36 am

Angb

Who's David Blunkett?

4:36 am

kalea

and the plural

4:36 am

Jacula

Sherb, how kind! I just arrive with my words on paper and you give me presents - the last 2 g's I needed to use that bottom 'g'.:))

4:36 am

Haz1558

A blind politician in Britain.

4:36 am

PappouTed

4:37 am

sherb

morning Jac... you're v welcome!! ;)

4:38 am

sherb

theme is take a word from the grid

4:38 am

Haz1558

We're doing the same as last Friday and using our icons to illustrate a word from the grid.

4:38 am

Jacula

MrP - The theme is use your icon as a clue. I haven't changed mine yet.

4:38 am

Angb

Time for another glass of wine I think. With crossed eyes I might see some of the words.

4:38 am

Angb

Haz I don't know what most of these words mean LOL

4:38 am

mrpresident

ok then!! what word in english is there that I can use??

4:38 am

sherb

that's the theme every Friday now... but I'm still blue from yesterday cos I liked it so much... and I've already given away more than one word!!

4:38 am

kalea

lol

4:39 am

MADDIE!

any clues for the ca8 please?

4:39 am

Haz1558

Mine is a cheat, a French word for a policeman fl4/8

4:39 am

kalea

ca8........a baby cow's hide

4:39 am

mrpresident

cow hide! make that young cow hide

4:39 am

Haz1558

ca8 - a combination of baby cow and complexion makes the ingredients for soft gloves

4:40 am

sherb

nice one...

4:40 am

Jacula

Ooh, thanks! I hadn't spotted the 8 until then.:)

4:40 am

PappouTed

a baby cow and then if you have dermatitis you have a ----rash

4:41 am

Jacula

sherb - You mean ni4/5 one!

4:41 am

JFB

Thanks for the clue - I had both parts of the ca8 but didnn't think to put them together! Doh! Whats todays theme please?

4:41 am

sherb

12 Ks!! and I only have four... sprite will be glad she's missing them...

4:42 am

sherb

duh... well spotted Jac... I think I've caught what torgone had yesterday...

4:43 am

mrpresident

can any one tell me what 'supper' is??

4:43 am

kalea

dinner?

4:43 am

sherb

supper is an evening meal...

4:44 am

PappouTed

do you mean like dinner?

4:44 am

PappouTed

what's for supper?

4:44 am

Frances

Supper - haven't had brekkie yet!

4:44 am

Jacula

Later than dinner.

4:44 am

JFB

Evening meal - not as posh as dinner.

4:44 am

mrpresident

later.... so what do I get for supper??

4:44 am

Jacula

Me, neither, Frances!

4:45 am

Dianne

my relatives in the southern part of the US refer to the Sunday mid-day meal as dinner and supper is the evening meal.

4:45 am

sherb

anything you like mrp...

4:45 am

kalea

leftovers, MRP

4:45 am

jeanniejinx

Thanks for the clue Haz I have been trying to get that one for the last half hour

4:45 am

Jacula

JFB - I keep thinking you're me when I see your posts - those are my initials. LOL

4:45 am

jeanniejinx

for the ca/8 i mean

4:46 am

Dianne

MRP - since your related to lickety - you get just about anything we can fix for you :)

4:46 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jeannie!

4:46 am

JFB

Wasn't clever enough to think of a different player name Jac

4:47 am

Jacula

JFB - I was given the name Jacula by someone on another forum (due to me being a night owl).

4:48 am

sherb

when I was growing up in the north east, dinner was at midday (ie school dinner) and the evening meal was called tea, and a snack later would be supper

since I've come south, the midday meal is lunch and supper is in the evening, unless it's more formal, in which case it's dinner

why do you ask mrp?

4:49 am

mrpresident

looks like I am going to a Cook Island supper... which apparently means lots of dancing and food!!!

4:50 am

Angb

That will be superb mrpresident.

4:50 am

Angb

Hope you like taro.

4:50 am

mrpresident

I am sure it will be!! :D :D :D !! especially as it is islander menu!! what is a taro??

4:51 am

sherb

mmm... didn't the Cook Islanders practice cannibalism...

4:51 am

mrpresident

oh, maybe I am the main course??

4:51 am

Jacula

LOL!

4:52 am

Angb

Hmmm, like a root vegetable. Sweet potato type of thing.

4:52 am

kalea

anybody know the ac5?

4:52 am

kalea

no, MRP.....you are too posh to be supper

4:52 am

Haz1558

ac5 - add the ending of the two piece swim wear

4:53 am

Angb

Go clue Haz ..

4:53 am

PappouTed

thanks, haz, I needed that one too

4:53 am

Angb

Oh no, the Klingon has got me LOL. Good clue I meant.

4:53 am

sherb

too many vowels in this grid...

4:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

4:54 am

PappouTed

whew, my c's are done!

4:54 am

mrpresident

4:54 am

Angb

Yep, me too. Now the dh's LOL

4:55 am

Angb

Oh - Indian. British empire is it.

4:55 am

sherb

4:56 am

mrpresident

I ask again! one ku4??? how does that work??

4:56 am

PappouTed

the first one or the second one, sherb?

4:56 am

kalea

lol........only one hip hurrah?

4:57 am

sherb

actually, I've got two, singular and plural

4:57 am

Haz1558

We're used to using the plural of ku4.

4:57 am

Angb

Maybe the Klingon stole the other one, mrp

4:57 am

mrpresident

heheheheh

4:57 am

Eva

mrp-once you get it we'll give you ku___

4:57 am

Eva

4:58 am

mrpresident

BRB, husband just home with fish and chips!!

6:06 am

lynxxx

Yeah - I had a half hour at and managed about 30 ! Don't think I'll be waiting long till I hit the List.

6:06 am

Jacula

Hi Mitch! 1 more word for 100, then I'm hitting the list

6:08 am

FranMag

it's very slow going for me today, the e on my keyboard went bad, i have to cut and paste it into the add word box!!!

6:08 am

FranMag

hi lynxxx!

6:08 am

Jacula

FranMag - your e's not working?

6:08 am

kalea

yikes Fran........no fun at all

6:08 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - well done for finding a word to suit your icon!

6:09 am

Jacula

Ca4/5ful, FMitch, you'll be playing before you know it!:)

6:09 am

FranMag

no jac, it's taking me forever to input words!

6:10 am

Jacula

Fran - What happens when you try to use the e' key?

6:10 am

amandacath

ewww - my P did that once, Fran. It was new keyboard time for me

6:10 am

FMitch

Well I "played" off line early so I had a few words to choose from then had to go to clients and just got back.
LOL Jacs ni** try but not playing today.

6:11 am

Jacula

It's never the 'z' key that goes, is it?!

6:11 am

FranMag

my husband brought a new keyboard home, but it appears the serial port has also gone bad, it's a laptop.

6:11 am

Jacula

Oh dear, Fran, that sounds expensive.:(

6:11 am

FranMag

jac, nothing at all happens, it's just dead.

6:11 am

kalea

Haz, i still havent found that ac5 word from your clue...............my brain must be sleeping without my body

6:12 am

FranMag

time for a new computer!

6:12 am

FMitch

Argh, builder in flat below drilling though walls, can't hear myself think and it's worse than the dentists type sound.

6:12 am

Haz1558

ac5/12? Think of what a two piece swimsuit is called, use the last three letters and attach them to ac.

6:13 am

FranMag

thanks jac!

6:13 am

kalea

got it........thanks Haz

6:13 am

FranMag

i mean haz!!

6:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

6:13 am

Jacula

*Throws FMitch some ear defenders.*

6:14 am

FranMag

hi haz, didn't recognize you without your dog! :-)

6:14 am

Haz1558

I know - I'm a French policeman today, fl4/8

6:14 am

amandacath

I am so sick of machines that have to be thrown out when one little piece of it goes bad

6:14 am

FMitch

THANKS Jacs, oops sorry didn't mean to shout :)

6:15 am

FranMag

thanks for that fl4/8 also!

6:15 am

FranMag

amanda, it's so old, it would cost more to fix it than to get a new one!

6:16 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, FranMag.

6:16 am

FranMag

but, yes, built in obsolesence is irritating.

6:17 am

Jacula

amanda - sadly, it's a throwaway society today. Not much make do & mend li4/8 there used to be.

6:18 am

Haz1558

When things go wrong, my first instinct is to get it repaired. Time and time again, you're told that it is cheaper just to buy new.

6:18 am

FMitch

I used to work for US computer companies and I remember when the industry standard hard drive was 30mb., mind you I am going back a few years.

6:19 am

kalea

Jacula

Well done, kalea.

FranMag

yay kalea!!!!

6:21 am

FMitch

We are not supposed to throw batteries into the normal rubbish but there is nowhere locally to recyle them.

LOL Fran

6:22 am

Haz1558

Okay - off I go. Bye everyone!

6:22 am

FranMag

6:24 am

amandacath

Isn't it fun, Mitch. I read something somewhere about a lobby to make electronics producers take back their garbage and dispose of it themselves. I'd sign up for that!

6:24 am

JFB

6:25 am

7:18 am

Cathyar

that's funny

7:18 am

amandacath

good one, Une!

7:18 am

Wolvie

LOL, UN - he is that, indeed!

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

don't you agree?

7:19 am

Wolvie

I was looking for evil d 4/5, myself. ;-)

7:19 am

Frances

Une
Wouldn't both apply?

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

wolvie, where is apex? my daughter lived in Boone for several years . . .

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

yes!!!

7:20 am

Wolvie

near durham and raleigh, Une

7:20 am

amandacath

I just counted - there really aren't that many bizarre words, relatively speaking. I counted 41 that I have truly never heard of (not counting the babblets)

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

ok, i've got to change my icon--can't stand looking at him any longer

7:20 am

Wolvie

I'm not certain I can take looking at your icon all morning, i may become ill

7:20 am

mattygroves

Unea - what word does YOUR icon represent? I can think of several words (not necessarily in the grid) to describe your icon LOL.

7:20 am

Wolvie

LOL again Une - great minds...

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

several were just listed, matty!!

7:21 am

amandacath

there's almost an F-word that would work for Une's icon too!

7:21 am

amandacath

(it's probably how he'd spell it)

7:21 am

Cathyar

the word "dumbass" isn't in the grid une, to describe that person

7:22 am

Wolvie

ha haha, amanda - you are right!

7:22 am

Uneaixoise

so true, amanda!!

7:23 am

Cathyar

no one li4/8's him it seems.

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

ok, he's gone--at least as my icon--wish it were true in reality!

7:24 am

Wolvie

worse than that cath - I don't respect him. I have don't have to like someone for that - but he's just the pits.

7:25 am

Cathyar

from a canadian perspective, he does seem a bit of a "ooh...daddy...i wanna be pres just like u" kinda guy... frankly, i think he still has daddy helping run your country.

7:25 am

Frances

Une
You now have the curly variety rather than just the twisted

7:25 am

amandacath

I find it pleasantly odd how this site attracts politically l4/8-minded people - maybe it has to do with a certain level of education?

7:26 am

abe79

I'm glad your new icon has more brains than your last Uneaixoise! good morning to all

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

frances, LOL!!

7:26 am

kalea

hello abe

7:26 am

Wolvie

disagree with you there, cath - shrub one was never this bad - we would not be where we are if he was in charge. To think he'd be moderate!

7:26 am

abe79

hi Kalea

7:26 am

Cathyar

i'm a mere legal secretary...there are doctors, etc out here far more educated that i and i'm not real big on politics, but bush just seems a tad on the slow side

7:26 am

Wolvie

LOL - amanda - you know what rove says - too much education makes you a democrat - or at least not a republican voter.

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

amanda, this site attracts people who THINK--it's appalling to me that so few in this country use their brains any more!

7:27 am

Wolvie

sound bites and fox news - the demise of brains

7:27 am

Frances

Or thi8s country Une

7:28 am

amandacath

Right, Wolvie - who would have ever thought we'd rather have Daddy?

7:28 am

Cathyar

i like how jay leno makes fun of him so much

7:28 am

EvaNadine

my icon isnt a perfect example of my word, but i liked the picture...
click to get larger image. :)

Frances

7:32 am

JFB

Still head scratching.

7:32 am

Wolvie

I believe it is the h5/22 - poem-ish

7:34 am

Cathyar

well...at least i'm finding a lot of h words in searching for it, but i just can't see the 5/22 (yet)

7:34 am

EvaNadine

cathy -- think poetry. :)

7:34 am

kalea

japanese poetry

7:36 am

EspritdJean

what does NaN+ hours left mean?

7:36 am

Cathyar

i know nothing of japanese poetry

7:37 am

kalea

Cath, its a poem of 3 lines

7:38 am

Wolvie

7:38 am

JFB

Just got it - got the word mixed up with the moari war dance ! Double doh!

7:48 am

Cathyar

7:48 am

amandacath

7:50 am

Cathyar

my dad is 76 and still thinks he's a kid lol

7:50 am

Wolvie

maybe when everyone on TV started being younger than me? But I still don't feel old.

7:50 am

licketySplitAUS

Ok - I think it hit me when I was in my late 20's and I actually thought that my mother was more of a friend that my MUM

7:50 am

Cathyar

i wanted to be an adult when i was 8...now that i am... blech

7:50 am

kalea

*throws self on the floor and holds my breath* .......you can't make me grow up

7:51 am

EvaNadine

7:51 am

EspritdJean

one only has to grow old, one never has to grow up

7:51 am

EspritdJean

7:51 am

Cathyar

yes...owning a home makes one grow up quickly with all the responsibility

7:51 am

EvaNadine

now, i would like to point out that theres a HUGE difference betweem being an adult + being grown-up!

7:51 am

amandacath

I'll go with Cath on the turning-40-thingy - sometime around 7 Nov, 2006. But I got over it!

7:52 am

licketySplitAUS

Too True - it it was the State - it's when you are 18!

7:52 am

kalea

then i guess it was when i was 19, and had my first child

7:52 am

licketySplitAUS

kalae - that will certainly do it!

7:53 am

kalea

lol..........then i made it through adulthood, and am now enjoying my second childhood

7:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Ok - so being Adult is something NO one wants to admit! Especially when they are on the internet playing word games!

7:54 am

Cathyar

ya lickety...and should be housecleaning instead!

7:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Alrighty then - lets change the challenge!

7:55 am

licketySplitAUS

Cathyar

8:02 am

licketySplitAUS

I have to say that I think the Babble community should be the ones that get to decide the rules of the world - Who could ask for a better set of people?

8:02 am

Cathyar

8:02 am

licketySplitAUS

9:03 am

whitewitch1111

Sorry i am not a christian. I have nothing to do with religion.

9:03 am

Haz1558

Interesting that there are two different Middle Eastern anise-flavored drinks in this puzzle, a/4/8 (the Lebanese one) and r/4/8 (the Turkish one).

9:05 am

Haz1558

al6/30 - it looks as though Mr Gore has been left out of the opposite of acid. or just add ki4/8.

9:06 am

spellit

al6/30 is any of a series of open chain hydrocarbons with a carbon-carbon triple bond

9:06 am

PS I didn't know that off the top of my head!

11:29 am

cybernan

thank you, hurshy

11:29 am

stidmama

I think that's the one you're thinking of, whitewitch... the only other fun thing left in modern German was the esszett, which I know they are officially trying to remove. :-(

11:29 am

whitewitch1111

too bad that german words don't count in that puzzle... found few already

11:29 am

torgone

ha5/22 rhymes with an old hockey player, dominic ha***

11:30 am

kkiln

It's not the umlaut --- dictionary says "A diacritical mark () that resembles an inverted circumflex and is used over certain letters, such as, to indicate quality of pronunciation." It ends with a high value letter.

11:30 am

stidmama

sometimes they do, whitewitch -- try them and see! :-)

11:30 am

hurshy

any te's use the k?

11:30 am

whitewitch1111

esszett is now ss in the german spelling stid

11:30 am

kkiln

No Hurshy....no k's.

11:30 am

caitlyn

No hurshy

11:30 am

torgone

Well, not that old ..

11:31 am

stidmama

so I have heard. that's too bad, because it was the last of the really old characters to remain... my grandmother learned to write the old script, so I had to learn it in order to read things from her childhood. :-)

11:31 am

cybernan

sorry, torgone -- I stopped watching hockey when they expanded the league for the third or fourth time!

11:31 am

3:00 pm

Vicuna

One day in the ocean a ha4/9
Thought the ocean was just a big la4/8
He swam fast as a ha4/5
Til he just didn't ca4/5
And he said, "This is no piece of ca4/9!"

3:01 pm

Douglas

Yes, aknitter, there is exactly one o word, and I have it! Bwahahahaha!

3:01 pm

TheFiz

3:01 pm

aknitter

3:01 pm

TheFiz

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

katusha

3:02 pm

Erda

it's a word that describes various diacritical marks in some Slavic languages -- Czech, Croatian, etc.

3:02 pm

Vicuna

Well, this one did, Fiz. He was trying to get to the other side of the la4/8.

3:02 pm

Douglas

It's the plural of a stringed instrument frequently played my musicians in the Middle East

3:02 pm

Charm

No, I don't think a czech goalie would have helped me, either, Fiz!

3:02 pm

TheFiz

*slaps head* duh, thanks for clearing that up, vi! nice poem, too.

Douglas

I believe the hockey player is referred to as "The Dominator"

3:03 pm

sandr

hi all can i have clues for the es's please and the in6/21?

3:03 pm

Erda

dh + symbol for the metal airplanes are made of

3:03 pm

Erda

and plural thereof

3:03 pm

Charm

dh4/10 = d + h(fish in today's grid) - final vowel. and pl.

3:03 pm

TheFiz

dh4/10 would rhyme with "back", and dh4/6 with "doll" = then both plural

3:04 pm

Charm

dh4/6 = another word for lentils.

3:04 pm

sharons

thanks erda got it

3:04 pm

3:08 pm

Cathyar

fiz...i think that's the 4/5...i'm looking for the first ha4/9

3:08 pm

Erda

It also goes without the last consonant, the ae word does.....

3:09 pm

TheFiz

if it helps, cath, it's a morroccan outer garment...

3:09 pm

Cathyar

hmmm...is that not the second ha4/9...if so, i already have it!

3:10 pm

seano216k

hi all 2 to get....the third te5/10 and (i think) it's plural

3:10 pm

Vicuna

The first ha4/9 is the poem without its final vowel.

3:10 pm

TheFiz

fish spelled like a garden implement is the 2nd ha4/9. the first is a homophone, with first and 3rd vowel in the middle.

3:10 pm

Douglas

I drink beer and I drink ***,
There's no bar I can't get in,

ha6/21 is the most ha4/5 (and hearty)

3:12 pm

ha6/21 = ha4/5 (ha** and hearty). ha5/12 is pl. ha6 is the most ha**

3:14 pm

She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide
