Haz1558

Good morning Frances. Another grid to struggle through today....
3:09 am

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

I've deserved one so often

mrpresident

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.

Hermitage is a nice wine here!! and a bit of Volga would go down nicely too
3:48 am

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.

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!

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

4:25 am

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

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

4:42 am

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

dinner?
4:43 am
sherb

supper is an evening meal...
4:44 am
PappouTed

do you mean like dinner?
4:44 am

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

anything you like mrp...
4:45 am

leftovers, MRP
4:45 am

JFB - I keep thinking you're me when I see your posts - those are my initials. LOL
4:45 am

4:46 am

You're welcome, jeannie!
4:46 am

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

That will be superb mrpresident.
4:50 am

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

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

Hmmm, like a root vegetable. Sweet potato type of thing.
4:52 am

6:10 am
amandacath

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

thanks for that fl4/8 also!
6:15 am

6:16 am
Haz1558

Glad you got it, FranMag.
6:16 am

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

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?

It's the plural of a stringed instrument frequently played my musicians in the Middle East
3:02 pm

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

Erda

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.

3:10 pm

The first ha4/9 is the poem without its final vowel.
3:10 pm

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

She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,

And they came from everywhere

Seeking a place to stand

3:55 pm

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

3:57 pm
Douglas

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
3:57 pm
Cathyar

ya...i always thought that song was soooo beautiful and truthful of how we have destroyed the earth

3:58 pm
Douglas

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign
3:58 pm
jillibus

3:58 pm

They called it Paradise...the place to be...they watch the hazy sun...sinking in the sea"...(is that part correct doug?)
3:59 pm

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name
of God
4:00 pm
