1:57 am
seano216k
oh that is so sad
1:57 am
jillibus
the theme that should have been is cats, hence mine for now
1:59 am
seano216k

good morning everybody:)
2:26 am

Hi mab, hi jean
2:27 am
jillibus
just barely, sprite!
2:27 am
mattygroves
OK, I'm not starting today's grid - I've no time to complte 298 words - but have fun guys!
2:28 am
sprite
I have to be fast today, have to be off in about half an hour and won't be back in till tonight. Probably will emulate your staying up late tonight! :)
2:29 am
seano216k
i know what you mean matty, i am flying to the UK today...i have a million things to do....yet here i am!
2:29 am
JFB
mattygroves, wish I'd stuck to your theory. Should know better!
2:29 am
sprite
Not finishing isn't the end of the world, you know... :) We can play for the fun of it.
2:31 am
jillibus
I'm not attempting this monster - Wednesday is always a busy one for me, with my library shift, and it always seems to be a huge grid. So I'll pop in now and then and go to bed at a reasonable hour (sort of)
2:31 am
mattygroves
Couldn't resist changing my icon (cats today, or toes. I've gone for cats. And dragons)
2:31 am
JFB
I very rarely finish sprite -I enjoy the words and the chat.
2:31 am
seano216k
now say that like you mean it sprite.....yeah i can give up any time!!!
2:32 am
sprite
That's the spirit, JFB! I am so lucky the grid flips for me at 7 am, so I always have the entire day to play, theoretically. But if I can't finish tonight, I won't cry. Promise! ;)
2:33 am
sprite
seano, I swear, I did not play for almost a week and I didn't go cold turkey! Will try that again from Friday on, we'll leave for our holiday in Germany then.
2:33 am
JFB
The flip here is 6am. I'm either not up then or already at work.
2:33 am
mattygroves
Why golden toes, when the theme according to Angelsong is cats?
2:34 am
sprite
I believe it is in tribute to kristinc, who lost her baby prematurely.
2:34 am
jillibus
click on my icon, matty, for the explanation
2:37 am
jillibus
If you go to Lickety's page and Icon Themes on the right, you'll see the changed theme for today

2:41 am

Very approachable, mrP, words are coming fast as they can. But it is pretty big today!
2:41 am

It is a word, it's just not in the grid today.

Neither did I before i took up this job. But it is interesting stuff.
4:13 am
Angb
Do you place advertising on other people's sites or something?
4:14 am
Angb
Odin. What combo's were you talking about?
4:14 am
Preethi
are you familiar with the advertising pgm that Google offers? Its called AdWords. So i work in that. We place ads on Google.
4:15 am
Odin
ed's double t's
4:16 am
Angb
I have some of those Odin, but probably not all of them yet (as usual) LOL
4:16 am
Angb
Preethi, I have seen those ads that Google put everywhere that seem to change with the "context". Sorry I'm a media planner by trade. Is that what you mean?
4:17 am
Odin
I'm diggin' this way more than yesterdays.
4:18 am
Angb
I'm finding this harder today. I keep on seeing Odin now LOL
4:19 am
Preethi
Yeah. you are right. So the ads that you see on Google.com are selected based on what the user is looking for. I work with the AdWords department in Google which handles the ads that advertisers submit.
4:19 am
Angb
Great, must be interesting. Wonder what they'll come up with next?
4:20 am
Odin
I saw it right away...what do they call them? Phantom words or something?
4:20 am
Angb
Yep, phantom words I think. I am new here and still picking up the lingo. Love to know what babblets are.
4:21 am
Preethi
yup. it is very interesting
4:21 am
Odin
Yeah, what the *h* does that mean? I am new also and I am barley figuring out the jargon.
4:25 am
Preethi
im at 63. this grid seems tougher than i thought it was
4:26 am
Angb
I agree Preethi. Am at 85, and at a complete standstill.
4:26 am
Odin
I holding my own..
4:26 am

Angb
Lots of ed endings which helps, Fran. But I am studk in the 80s
4:30 am
FranMag
well, just wanted to say hello, going to work without the chat for a while. BTW, a babblet is just a word that appears in the grids a lot and not neccessarily part of common conversation, for instance etna.
4:30 am
Angb
Cheers thnx for that Fran. Good babbling
4:30 am
Odin
Thanks Fran!
4:30 am
FranMag
see you all in a few!!
4:31 am

4:31 am
Preethi
Good luck Fran
4:31 am
Odin
Make no mistake I checked too
4:31 am
Angb
Hmm, you too?
4:32 am
Odin

4:32 am
hydra

4:32 am
Angb
And the words you learn!
4:33 am
Angb

Odin

4:33 am
Preethi

Angb

4:41 am
Odin

Angb

4:42 am
hydra

4:42 am
hydra
Phanton word: teddies
4:43 am
Angb
You must have 100o by now hydra ... where's your won't power? LOL It is addictive. I had to restrict myself to not taking this list ... otherwise I would stay until I got all the words out. 1am or 2 am in the morning!
4:44 am
hydra
No, I'm at 970 Angb. Haven't consulted lists yet. That's my treat for later! Have to work on my astrology column today. It takes an age to do.

Jera
Are they scraping the bottom of the barrel for themes??
6:50 am
Atalante
*thinks* 3 are exactly the same first 5 letters. 1 5 and 2 6's. the other is the sounding like dead one
6:50 am
ch1212
The theme apparently means something significant to the sugestee, and I'm almost tempted to ask :D
6:51 am
herinfernallady
ch maybe someone has a sock or toe fetish or really likes the brand
6:51 am
chiley

7:59 am
herinfernallady
nda, fan since 21 jump street, i was allowed to stay up late to watch it i was about 10 when it started and it was late on tv. I saw a girls bag with Mrs Depp on there it was cool

8:45 am
abe79
that's what i've been doing aloy, it alleviates some frustration
8:45 am

Wolvie

5:51 pm
helenkeller

5:51 pm
helenkeller

5:51 pm
ch1212
st6/21 -- sounds like when you put stuff on top of each other in a tall pile, you have st***** it. instead of the ck use a beverage, and then add a vowel.
5:51 pm
Douglas
I'm halfway to halfway - woohoo!
5:52 pm

the OP 7 you are prob looking for is the most op 4/5
5:57 pm
ch1212
you're joking ... I have it from BJ's list. Error?
5:57 pm
nrkii
but it could be the past tense of op 6
5:58 pm
ch1212
bless you nrkii -- the op was exactly that!
5:58 pm
nrkii
there are di 5 and di 6
5:58 pm
nrkii
but none that are same root, except ...
5:58 pm
ch1212
oh, I jsut assumed a relationship ... silly me.
5:58 pm
nrkii
the only one that IS the same root is a di 6 followed by a di 5
5:58 pm
ch1212
okay then... Guess I'm looking for a clue for the di5/14 that follows past tense of losing weight :)
5:59 pm

I can only take small doses of Dr. Phil, Annie. Most of the time I think he's just a big phoney and an Oprah syncophant. Other times, he's rather hypnotic and I can't drag myself away. He does get points for not b.s.ing the drunks in denial and the teenage prostitues.

Judi, I agree with you but the man does make sense. I wonder if the people on his show get paid. I would never humilate myself like that and they cry on cue. I wonder....
7:02 pm
Jacula
ca's after 'little cloaks' - they sound a bit like Samuri swords but are not spelled the same. ca6/21 is a closely linked series of writing or commentaries. (ca + a brand of pantie pads [not 'Depends'!]) ca7/32 is the Latin plural and ca7/32 after it is the normal plural.
7:03 pm
cybernan
Thanks, Abe
7:03 pm
cybernan
Thanks, Jacula -- not sure about the samui swords! -- got the rest
7:04 pm
Judi
Yeah, Annie. If he has any credibility, he has a few hours on the couch with his guests before the shoe. Even so, even the best shrink can't make a complete diagnosis in less than an hour (let alone in front of cameras).
7:04 pm
Jacula
Last ca7/32 is a cross between a steer and an American Buffalo.
7:04 pm
PappouTed
Fireworks at last!

PappouTed
peri, think of the lawn game and take out the r
7:07 pm
Jacula
Peri - the co's you want are variant spellings of the Frenh for a flirty lady. It's been in the grid before. Sounds a bit like a lawn game played with mallets & hoops (think Alice in Wonderland).
7:07 pm
kristinc
well done anyhow cathy!
7:07 pm
Jen34
peri, the co 8 is a shameless flirt. for the 6, take away the last two letters
