helenkeller

erika had a huge long conversation with jani, swore on her mom she would take her to final 2, they shook hands & hugged - the boys are running scared - it is so funny - boog is downright scum - he said something so horrible i can't repeat it here

12:25 am

Blaze

strange oe word

12:25 am

mrpresident

there is smelly fa6/30

12:25 am

jani is going to evict will, unless he somehow changes her mind tonight

12:25 am

12:26 am

chic

really, I thought that might be a possibility, but not what I want to see.

12:27 am

helenkeller

it's so uncomfortable in the house - boog is trying to heavy hand will - he said "this is our show & those b*tches are not going to steal it from us" full of himself or what

12:27 am

helenkeller

i really want to tell you what he said, cause there's NO way they will show it on tv - he is scum - this is the first time they don't feel in control

12:27 am

chic

although it would show ct a thing or two about girl power in the end!

12:27 am

LeslieAnn

ugh i hate him

12:28 am

helenkeller

will & boog have been awful - you don't see it on tv - they call jani & erika all kinds of names - none of their showmance is sincere - they need to be gone

let me ask y'all if ,as according to my 12 year old son, i'm overeacting. on thursday, i took him to the doctor strep throat. he's been antibiotics(3000mg per day) he is still running a temperture(99.9-101) i think we should go back to the doc. in the morning. he says i need to wait and let the meds run their course. granted, this is my only child(who doesn't walk on 4 legs or have his name on a marriage license with mine) so, i don't want to be one of those always at the doctors. so, what should i do? actually i already know i'm taking him- i just want valadation.

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

a slat lick - watch out for splinters. ;)

1:20 am

tazpink

wasnt the news about the croc hunter just awful

1:21 am

helenkeller

bee - 4 days, those antibiotics should have kicked in - how long a course?

1:21 am

beebee///not over reacting.... 12 year olds do not get a say in doctor visits...

whever are you finished? if so, congrads

beeb no kid experience here

1:21 am

froelica

it really can't hurt, beebee.

hk- 10 days

1:21 am

MVA

i'd take him back beebee, that temp is high

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

did he have a positive strep test? he may have a virus in addition, which the antibiotics won't help. how are his other symptoms? is he listless?

1:21 am

froelica

i'd take him in too, if it will at least help give you peace of mind

1:21 am

MayneGuy

I think a visit to the doctor is in order, beebee.

1:22 am

beebee

melon- yes the strep was +, but he seems to have a cough and some congestion

1:22 am

froelica

taz- i'm still grieving!! just so unexpected

1:22 am

MayneGuy

Could be in the chest now - going to the doc will tell you what's happening.

1:23 am

tazpink

yes froe i rather admired him so i am greiving too hoped to go see his show somedya

1:24 am

beebee

he's rarely sick- i think this is only the 3rd trip in his life to doctor for something that wasn't routine and he's petrified of them, but he's gonna have to suck it up- thank you all for taking my side

1:24 am

froelica

me too. i saw a special on him today where they showed footage of his little girl talking about him and i had to change the channel

1:25 am

melonheadjujube

beebee, at least call the doc's office. also, keep those fluids up.

1:25 am

tazpink

yes i watched his story tonight heartbreaker

1:25 am

helenkeller

bee - why don't you call instead of taking him in - different antibiotics work differently

2:43 am

girlie

thanks!

2:43 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! tried the 'singular' forgot to try it with the S.

2:44 am

sprite

I always hate those words. Ap6 is another one.

2:46 am

sprite

Now that I come to think of it, it is even worse. Ap6 has no 'singular'. Pi4 has no plural!

2:47 am

beebee

ok-it's 3:45am- the alarm will go off at 6:00, not enough time for sleeping- so, i guess i'll get a jump on cleaning the house. good luck everyone

Haz1558

3:32 am

Dianne

rosalind - it rhymes with the thing you put a scoop of ice cream in.

3:32 am

Angb

rosalind call in boxing + an article that you pu in front of a word starting with a vowel

3:33 am

rosalind230

3:39 am

ExWren

Morning Haz, what is it like today? It looks small enough for me!

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning ex-Wren. It's fine so far - you should enjoy it.

3:39 am

mari

there's no re's exwren so it can't be bad!!

3:40 am

ExWren

That is the first thing I look for Mari

3:40 am

mari

you and me both!!

3:41 am

scv

i think mosh should be allowed.

3:41 am

Haz1558

There's probably a word for people with an 're' phobia.

3:41 am

FranMag

hi again everyone!

3:42 am

mari

intelligent??!!

3:42 am

FMitch

change the last letter scv for an alt sp of religious building

3:42 am

scv

hah

3:42 am

scv

hey there thanks

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag - was the ice-cream good?

3:43 am

scv

AND i just got to the m's, that was what i was missing.

3:43 am

FranMag

thanks fmitch! that was the m i was missing

3:43 am

FranMag

just finished it haz, it was great!

3:44 am

Haz1558

So now you're extra fortified to face this grid!

3:44 am

FranMag

for sure haz!

3:46 am

scv

if a word is on the enable list, shouldn't it be accepted?

3:46 am

FranMag

you'd think so sylvia.

3:46 am

FMitch

One would think so scv

3:46 am

FranMag

unless it's not in the grid

3:46 am

Haz1558

It should but I'm guessing you've found one that isn't being accepted?

3:47 am

scv

its between moseys and moshav ;)

3:47 am

scv

i guess so

3:48 am

scv

but then thats the list linked from lickety, not sure how else to check.

3:49 am

scv

on enable list, but not 4 letter list.

3:50 am

scv

perhaps i should spend more time finding words and less time worrying about stuff that doesn't matter.

3:50 am

FMitch

Likcletys lists are based on the a2z listings which is is mix of databases I think

3:50 am

scv

ah.

3:51 am

Haz1558

We're all at an equal disadvantage if the word isn't accepted. I wouldn't worry about it.

3:51 am

scv

its just a common word for me so i assumed it would work no matter what

3:51 am

FranMag

when you put it in the add word box does it say not in dictionary or doesn't exist in the puzzle?

3:51 am

scv

not in dictionary.

3:54 am

scv

i think i'm making it seem like i care a lot about this :) i was just curious

3:56 am

FranMag

of course not sylvia, we're all curious too, but used to enable being picky.

3:57 am

scv

true. that's the first time i ever thought to question it

4:01 am

FMitch

Why do I keep forgetting that there is a d in the grid that can be used at the end of words!!

4:01 am

scv

ive done that.. and had pl.s of things and not the singular

4:01 am

Haz1558

I don't know - perhaps you have a horror of the past tense? There'll be a word for that as well!

4:03 am

FMitch

I will have to quiz the internet then.

4:03 am

Haz1558

And see if you can find out what the re phobic syndrome is as well (we can't keep calling it ex-Wren's problem)

4:06 am

FMitch

Done and fireworks and time for me to go.Happy babbling!
Will let you know if I find out anything on the phobias

4:07 am

metaleather

hooray FM

4:07 am

metaleather

4:09 am

Haz1558

Congratulations FMItch. I've just looked up a website on phobias. None of us are suffering from logophobia (fear of words), nor logizomaehanophobia (fear of computers). Some poor soul may have panophobia. Fear of everything!

4:10 am

FMitch

lol Bye *poof*

4:10 am

Haz1558

Bye - have a good day!

4:11 am

scv

ok, back to mosh

4:11 am

scv

if this ro6,21 is allowed...

4:11 am

scv

they're holding hands. come on!

4:11 am

Haz1558

I remember people raising the question of mosh quite a few times before, but it has never been accepted.

4:13 am

scv

one is greasy guys climbing things and the other is greasy guys bumping into each other on purpose.

4:13 am

Haz1558

You're not painting a very attractive picture for either of them!

4:14 am

scv

the truth is ugly!

4:18 am

Oh! Lightbulb moment! Thanks ever so.

4:54 am

Angb

yw hydra

4:54 am

asshole

mosed

4:55 am

metaleather

it's NOT fair that Old Brit can be part of a word but isn't accepted in its own right

4:55 am

Angb

I agree.

4:55 am

hydra

I agree, metaleather. I just tried it.

4:55 am

metaleather

lol, I've tried it more than once this morning

4:55 am

Angb

I say fa 6/30 to the dictionary!

4:56 am

metaleather

hasn't worked yet

4:56 am

metaleather

I agree wholeheartedly Angb

4:56 am

hydra

I shall have to look for that word now, Angb

4:57 am

Angb

Sorry hydra

4:57 am

Marc Freeman

Excuse me but I don't know if anyone told you but a***hole is not an appropriate handle. There are kids that come on the site as young as 10 for all over including England, Canada and the US. I really don't mean to be rude but could you change it?

4:59 am

hydra

Don't apologise, Angb. It's funny.

5:01 am

hydra

You know, Marc, I kinda agree with you there. I winced a bit when I saw it.

5:02 am

Angb

I agree too. It's not the sort of handle that you would want to chat to.

5:03 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks, this is a great friendly sight and I am sure whoever it is means well.

5:03 am

metaleather

it's that same atrociously obnoxious troll from last night

5:03 am

metaleather

with a different name

5:03 am

hydra

It's good that you have the courage to speak out, Marc.

5:03 am

Andree

I would not bother ange and marc that handle was on last night , is 12 and needs mouth washed out with soap

5:04 am

ilandrah

trolls die in the dark - the best policy is usually to ignore them

5:04 am

hydra

My old Mum used to say, 'every Eden hath its serpent.'

5:04 am

Andree

yes ilan

5:05 am

Marc Freeman

I really didn't want to get everyone hot and bothered, just asking a simple request. Are you saying this was a 12 year old with that handle? How do you know?

5:05 am

Andree

marc from last night

5:05 am

spellit

Fireworks - and I'm all for the ignoring approach

5:06 am

Andree

yay spellit

5:06 am

Congrats, spellit!

5:06 am

Great spellit

5:06 am

ilandrah

In my deeply sad life, all I have to look forward to is a trip to the dentist tomorrow for major excavation work on a back tooth. I feel sick at the thought!

5:11 am

Angb

I have the ir 5/18. Does anyone know what it means?

5:11 am

ilandrah

i recently had my wisdom teeth removed hydra, it's no fun and at the end they handed me a bill :((

5:11 am

ohhh, poor hydra, {{{hydra}}}

5:12 am

click the ? next to the word for definition ang

5:12 am

Ouch even more! It's going to cost me £180 for a crown.

5:12 am

spellit

Really gone now!!

5:12 am

metaleather

no idea Ang

5:12 am

Dianne

Angb - it is a large African tree (had to look itup).

5:12 am

metaleather

but it googles as a type of wood

5:13 am

Angb

ilan - there is no def on the ? - thanks dianne and metal. That's an odd one!

5:13 am

ilandrah

oh i hate it when that happens - makes me feel like i am chasing nonsense, theres some really obscure stuff sometimes

5:17 am

metaleather

I love this site... it comes up with so many words I've never heard before, like the first two fi's

5:18 am

Marc Freeman

Anyone have a clue for ap6/24

5:18 am

Angb

Has anyone got a clue for the 2nd mo 5/14

5:19 am

Angb

marc put the a on the plural of pe 4/6

5:19 am

metaleather

not I

5:21 am

Marc Freeman

Angb, the plural didn't work, no 's' near by.

5:22 am

Dianne

angb - 3 letter word for man + first 2 letters of opp of subtract

5:22 am

Angb

Go in the other direction mark - the pi word works both ways

5:22 am

Dianne

Marc - it is the plural of apex

5:23 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks all, got it, the pi helped.

5:23 am

Angb

Have that one Dianne - it the second one I need.

5:24 am

Dianne

angb - what the cow did.

5:24 am

Angb

Oh knock me down with a feather Dianne - why didn't I see that!

5:24 am

ilandrah

mo i have is past tense cow sound

5:29 am

Marc Freeman

How about a clue for fa6/30?

5:29 am

ilandrah

oh that's the one i m trying to get now marc

6:40 am

metaleather

goood morning inge

6:41 am

lynxxx

A hoon - is another word for a 'troll' or similar. Koori is their preferred name - by our our aboriginal peoples. Goanna is double 'n' - maybe thats why it didn't take?

6:42 am

metaleather

might be, I was not sure of the spelling

Haz1558

Thanks for that one Uneaixoise.

7:29 am

Uneaixoise

hey, haz!

7:30 am

Haz1558

Hello there - how are you?

7:30 am

Uneaixoise

good, thanks--have graduated from cast to velcro boot on the ankle!

7:31 am

Haz1558

Will it be the new fashion sensation do you think? Will we all want one?

7:31 am

Uneaixoise

all i can say is, thank goodness they changed me from the white cast to the black boot before Labor Day!

7:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's my understanding (thanks to a line in Frasier) that it's social death to wear white after Labour Day!

7:32 am

Uneaixoise

precisely!

7:33 am

Uneaixoise

precious precious pup in your icon, haz!

7:33 am

Haz1558

She's a pet, that's for sure.

7:33 am

Eva

Serial Mom has a wonderful bit about white shoes after Labor Day. I never knew until then. Don't have white shoes either, but just shows my ignorance about sartorial appropriateness.

7:34 am

Andree

clues for mo7/36 and 7/40 please

7:35 am

amandacath

Andree - both have to do with single-celled organisms, or Leibniz' philosophy

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

mo7/40 Miss Lisa + Mr. Cheney

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

(Miss Lisa who lives in the Louvre)

7:37 am

Eva

what about the 7/36 though?

7:37 am

amandacath

Hi all - have been lurking for a while, sucking in clues from the log. Anybody know if there's a good reason _why_ it's forbidden to wear white shoes after labor day?

7:38 am

hydra

help with the first two ir words, please.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

guess the fashionistas made that decision many decades ago . . .

7:38 am

amandacath

Eva - it looks like a plural, though I don't know why it's spelled that way

7:38 am

Eva

Because if you wear your new white sneakers to schoo everyone will step on them? Probably having to do with being wealthy enough to have an entirely new wardrobe for the new season.

7:38 am

Haz1558

ir5/18 - i plus a reworking of a black bird and plural for the ir6

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

mo7/36 Miss Lisa + Mr. Arnaz minus the final consonant

ap 6/24 ? I'm sure it should be obvious, which is why I'm missing it. :-)

7:55 am

Haz1558

ap6/24 - not that obvious. Add the ending of the s word that is used to flavour food

7:55 am

Haz1558

It has a plural ending as well.

seasalter's lovely - its really quiet down on the beach - its a local dog walkers beach rather than a touristy beach

2:44 pm

jeanniejinx

It's nice..Not like Margate..Couldn't see the beach when the heatwave was here

2:44 pm

ladynoire1013

Hey, Firefly, your dog shares my maiden name

2:45 pm

firefly779

hey ladynoire - interesting :) he was named before we got him but it was a good name

2:45 pm

Atalante

in the middle of the heatwave, there were actually people at seasalter. maybe 20 or 30!

2:45 pm

ladynoire1013

I like it - I wish I'd named one of my boys Tucker

2:46 pm

2:53 pm

rosalind230

I live in Hastings

2:53 pm

jeanniejinx

It's a birdwatcher..dont know why theyre called that..perhaps its because they have to keep so still..they get twitchy lol

2:53 pm

ch1212

oh, LOL! I was afraid it was some sort of bad person.

2:53 pm

firefly779

hi Scrabbler - didn't play yesterday, but I've managed to drag myself over the halfway mark today...

3:02 pm

sapphie1

ed 8/65 anyone?

3:02 pm

Scrabbler

I LOVE your icon, firefly! I could not sleep last night, just kept on thinking about Steve

3:02 pm

metaleather

that one, kkiln, is the past tense of the ro5 just before it

3:03 pm

metaleather

ed8 is the plural of the ed7 just before it

3:03 pm

firefly779

kkiln - maybe you're looking for the one that's like where cowboys ride bulls and people watch (lot of times at fairs)but it has an extra vowel, spelling it like something you drive on

3:03 pm

ch1212

yes, no cowboy in Idaho spells it that way, believe me :D

3:04 pm

firefly779

oh, no, i think metaleather has the right idea...sorry

3:04 pm

sapphie1

3:04 pm

kkiln

Thanks Firefly....I had that one!

3:05 pm

firefly779

sapphie - glad it helped someone, it wasn't right for kkiln ;) I just accidentally found it myself based on misinterpreting someone else's clue

3:05 pm

Atalante

I think we should have a Stevey day in icons tomorrow

3:05 pm

firefly779

you're welcome anyways kkiln :)

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

firefly779

3:05 pm

3:06 pm

3:16 pm

lynxxx

Its interesting - in Australia Steve I. was only really known by his appearances on American TV. His untimely passing seems to have made such an impact globally whereas here it is the more the bizarre and ironic way that he has gone that has made the news.
