12:48 am

helenkeller

12:48 am

FranMag

don't know gail, but i think i remember he died of an STD.

12:48 am

FranMag

or something just as awful.

12:48 am

andy12489

hey Krys that means you only have 84 to go :) and that is a great position

12:48 am

helenkeller

she said she heard they dug him up a year later & there were scratches on the inside of the coffin

12:48 am

cybernan

Hey nan :) That's where all our noses belong right now ;)

12:49 am

andy12489

12:49 am

sprite

Guys, who are you talking about with that creepy stuff?

12:49 am

gailinrb

helen, that sounds like something right out of one of his tales

12:49 am

mirandapan

hmmm--sounds like "Fall of the House of Usher" to me--hi all

12:49 am

andy12489

sprite Edgar Allan Poe

andy12489

or - was his (EAP) coffin recycled ??

12:50 am

helenkeller

or was that the tell tale heart

12:51 am

gailinrb

good stuff!

12:51 am

FranMag

tell-tale heart was about the guy who buried a body under his house

12:51 am

helenkeller

hey, i'm just repeating what i heard on a nationally televised program

12:51 am

helenkeller

which one was the one where the guy was walled up?

12:51 am

gailinrb

[thump, thump]

12:51 am

mirandapan

Amantillado??? he guy gets bricked up.

12:52 am

gailinrb

cask of amontillado (sp?)

12:52 am

andy12489

well helen you are making an assumption that TV (or MSM) are right ...

12:52 am

mirandapan

*the

12:52 am

FranMag

that was it gail!

12:52 am

sprite

She wasn't, andy, LOL.

do

12:52 am

gailinrb

the man was ON something, for sure.

12:52 am

andy12489

well sprite I am puzzled - hell MSM and be right??? that must be an oxymoron

12:52 am

Krys10

or just clincially depressed..

12:53 am

helenkeller

mirandapan - that's the one i'm thinking of

12:53 am

gailinrb

i still have a book of Poe stories from waaay back when i was in high school.

12:53 am

mirandapan

yes--one of my favs

12:53 am

Krys10

man, the grid is really going slow for me! words not easily forthcoming...

12:53 am

sprite

True, andy. I just meant that helen said she quoted from that, not that she thought it was therefore true :)

12:53 am

helenkeller

andy - oh no, i would never assume anything like that, actually i assume the opposite - i was beign sarcastic

12:54 am

andy12489

hey I have a complete book of all EAPs' worsk - leather bound - bought it in his museum in Philly cca 1996 or so

12:54 am

chic

I just googled Poe and according to Wikkipedia Poe's death is of undetermined nature; attributed to alcohol, drugs, cholera and unknown agents (LSD, perhaps)...

12:54 am

andy12489

helen welcome to the club - stopped watching TV 15 yeas ago (ok except for hockey and football) LOL

12:55 am

gailinrb

well, the first two alone would do it!

12:55 am

andy12489

chis same with Ernest Hemingway no??

12:55 am

helenkeller

i bet EAP was a don't bee !

12:55 am

gailinrb

alcohol and drugs, that is.

12:55 am

sprite

Looks like the best stories come from troubled souls, lol.

12:55 am

chic

Hemingway put a shotgun in his mouth I thought...

12:55 am

gailinrb

lol, helen.

12:55 am

helenkeller

chic - yep, that's right

12:56 am

mirandapan

Chic--he did

12:56 am

Krys10

i remember entering a contest a decade ago (pre-google) where you had to match the author, date of death, and method of suicide

12:56 am

andy12489

of course sprite - Franz Kafka anyone??? George Orwell??

12:56 am

chic

oh good I don't have to google that...

12:56 am

andy12489

well chic yes that is one of the stories

12:56 am

helenkeller

but then- i don't think hemingway ever told any particularily good stories - in my opinion, he's one of the most over-rated writers ever

12:56 am

sprite

Kafka, Orwell, all wellknown stuff.

12:57 am

MVA

helen, i have to agree

12:57 am

mirandapan

Helen: "Hills Like White elephants"? I think it's his masterpiece

12:57 am

gailinrb

i liked huxley. aldous huxley.

12:57 am

helenkeller

krys - now where would a person find a contest like that? local bar?

12:57 am

Krys10

bookstore, actually

12:57 am

andy12489

helen - moving feast is IMO really great

12:57 am

Krys10

on haight street in SF

12:57 am

chic

'the Sun Also Rises' is my favorite....

12:57 am

gailinrb

isn't there a "bad hemingway" writing contest?

12:58 am

chic

now huxley did take LSD....

12:58 am

mirandapan

And "A Clean Well-Lighted Place" Not to mention the Nick stories

12:58 am

andy12489

yes sprite bit hot exactly *popular* - or shall we go see Milan Kundera??

12:58 am

helenkeller

i never read moveable feast

12:59 am

andy12489

well speaking of SF - how about PO Bronson ??

12:59 am

sprite

Actually I am an upbeat kinda girl, lol. If it gets too dark, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I am out.

1:00 am

andy12489

helen - worth reading if you have time

1:00 am

andy12489

well sprite yeah - bt still I think it behooves us to be aware of the dark stuff

1:00 am

andy12489

you knlwthe old saying - be close to your friends - and even closer to your enemies...

1:00 am

helenkeller

seriously andy? you think it will sway my opinion of him?

1:01 am

sprite

I agree, andy, I did not mean ignore the black side... but I don't want to revel in it.

1:01 am

andy12489

well don't know helen - can't speak of other people opinions

1:01 am

andy12489

hey Anthony Burgess anyone - speaking of *dark* stuff

1:02 am

sprite

Or very dark with a smile... Roald Dahl :)

1:02 am

andy12489

sprite - agree - yoou don;t need to *revel* in it - as long as you know / are aware of it nicht wahr??

1:02 am

chic

Sylvia Plath now that's some dark stuff!

1:02 am

Krys10

i love roald dahl! and edward gorey

1:02 am

sprite

That's it, andy.

1:03 am

sprite

Oh yes Krys!

1:03 am

helenkeller

roald dahl - kon-tiki?

1:03 am

andy12489

*love* roald dahl Krys - read him whan I was 10 or so - got both Charlie in the Chocolate Factory movies btw

1:03 am

gailinrb

speaking of dark: anybody familiar with Diane Arbus?

1:04 am

Krys10

yeah, i've got those as well.. although my favorite is matilda, i think

1:04 am

sprite

I really really love the Dahl version of the birth of Hitler. That is so brilliantly written.

1:04 am

mirandapan

Yes--her photos

1:04 am

andy12489

sprite - is the "The Gremlins"??

1:04 am

sprite

Special man, that Roald Dahl, to be able to write both for kids and adults.

1:04 am

gailinrb

yes. once saw an exhibition of her stuff at the walker in mpls. was VERY weird.

1:05 am

sprite

No, it is a story of a woman who is giving birth, and her bully of a husband who keeps telling her that the child won't live, that it is too fragile, etc.

1:05 am

mirandapan

She was a WPA photographer, during the depression, right?

1:05 am

andy12489

seen a few photos but that is all -re: Diane Arbus

1:06 am

gailinrb

very strange stuff, andy. but has some sort of attraction.

1:07 am

andy12489

k sprite - so what is the name of the story re: Herr Schickelgruber's birth?? would really like to read it as WW2 history is my hobby

1:07 am

gailinrb

another "artist" who comitted suicide

1:07 am

andy12489

gail -is it noit true that things "weird" or "strange" are "attractive"

1:07 am

2m

rise and fall of the third reich has info about schicklegruber

1:08 am

sprite

I would have to look it up, andy, will have to get back to you on that. The brilliance of the story is that you really feel for the woman, you want the kid to live, you really urge them on. And then the final sentence is that the doctor tells the mother: "He will be fine, Frau Hitler."

1:08 am

andy12489

yeah 2m I read like 6 books - Russian, German, America, British - not the one you mentioned though - what is the ISBN?

1:08 am

helenkeller

wow - i got ANOTHER word - yay !!!

1:08 am

gailinrb

miranda, i think her work was later... 50s, 60s

1:09 am

sprite

That is a very abrupt change of perspective, andy, lol.

1:09 am

2m

all i have left on this grid is 2 fo's

1:09 am

andy12489

hmm sprite take your time

1:09 am

FranMag

yay hk!

1:09 am

2m

i don't now the ISBN, it's an old classic, tho

1:09 am

mirandapan

Oh---I just remember a photo of a woman--children in the background--a shack. I'm thinking of someone else.

1:09 am

FranMag

2m, starts like enemy, ends like mr. lennon, fo5/18 and fo6 (plural)

1:09 am

2m

william shirer is the auther, a WWII correspondent

1:10 am

gailinrb

true, andy... the "noir" has an attraction

1:10 am

cybernan

got an early tee time tomorrow, so I'm off for tonight :)

1:10 am

FranMag

i'm just guessing that's what you'

1:10 am

gailinrb

miranda, maybe not.

1:10 am

FranMag

i'm just guessing that's what you're missing 2m

1:11 am

andy12489

sprite - and others - *perspective* IMO is an art of collecting miscelaneous (and often conflicting) data points and extrapolating one's veiew - assuming that oncew can *justify and defend* his/her selection - Alexander Werth comes to mind

1:11 am

sprite

Andy, google is my friend. It is in the book "Kiss kiss" and the story is "Genesis and catastrophe"

1:11 am

2m

yes, fran, thanks so much. i'll work on that clue :)

andy12489

sprite - just asie - pls don't rely on Page/Brin too mcuh (founders of Google). I often use www.ask.com or even www.yahoo.com search to get a better pic- and for recent stuff - where Google is useless - www.technorati.com

1:14 am

andy12489

night gail

1:17 am

sprite

andy, it depends on what you use it for. If you want to know which story of RD is about the birth of Hitler and you want to know in which book it is, google is a friend.

1:17 am

MVA

what does the 7 begin with pls

1:17 am

sprite

Seeing how I just am blind to it, it is probably a K, MVA :)

1:18 am

MVA

lol!

1:18 am

Krys10

it begins with a c. all the c words are related to being sick

1:18 am

MVA

ty krys

1:19 am

Krys10

K's are your friend, sprite :)

1:19 am

sprite

thanks Krys

1:19 am

andy12489

yup sprite - their page ranking algorith is well known - what is less know though (ping me for links) is Google's arbitrary "link selection" - i.e. there were sites (People's Cube for example) that were most likely deliberately purged by Google. Hence my backup search engines.

1:19 am

sprite

Krys, you are about the only K who is a friend for me!

1:20 am

Krys10

I started a blog a few months ago and it has been totally mysterious to me how to get google to find it - I am getting some hits from there, so I know some people are finding me randomly, but no combination of keywords I can think of will pull me up.

1:20 am

sprite

I have a friend who does extensive research on search engines, and another one who wrote a book about it. So I know, and I shamelessly use google still!

1:20 am

Krys10

(sprite - potassium is your friend too - also K - I've been studying for my chem test tomorrow :) )

1:20 am

MVA

haven't the time for any more, happy babbling!

1:21 am

Krys10

1:22 am

helenkeller

1:22 am

sprite

On a side note: this grid is SLOW!

1:22 am

andy12489

good 4 u Fran - the worst comes to happen you only need to replace keyboard :)

1:23 am

Krys10

FranMag

1:35 am

FranMag

hi jilli!

1:35 am

Krys10

duplicate bridge?

1:35 am

Angb

That's sounds complicated jilli

1:35 am

Krys10

copying a game that was already played?

1:35 am

sprite

wow jilli! Smart as ever... and you will need it, this is a slowwwww grid.

1:35 am

jillibus

more or less, krys

1:36 am

Angb

I;ve broken 50 ... boys have got so hungry they

1:36 am

Angb

making their own dinner

1:36 am

Krys10

not entirely a bad thing..

1:36 am

jillibus

I gather from the log that this is a bit of a brute

1:36 am

FranMag

lol ang! that's it, make them self-sufficient!

1:36 am

Krys10

well, I don't know, is it?

1:37 am

Angb

It's one thing you can count on men doing ... housework no .... food if you leave them long enough

1:37 am

Krys10

i mean, is it a bad thing that angb's sons are making their own dinner? I know this grid is a brute!

1:37 am

sprite

That's what a real good parent does: make him/herself redundant!

1:38 am

Krys10

"moving into a consultant role"

1:38 am

sprite

It is a good thing, Krys.

1:38 am

1:40 am

flosey

sorry, tried to change my icon, had a great pic but lost it and couldn't find the source second time

1:41 am

Krys10

it's a nasty one, Mr. P. Even sprite, champion of all words, says so

1:42 am

Krys10

well, I shouldn't put words in her mouth - she agreed it's a slow grid :)

1:42 am

mrpresident

sprite said "This sucks!" :)

1:42 am

sprite

Lol Krys, don't know about the champ thing, but I am certain about this grid being nasty!

1:42 am

mrpresident

oh! hi sprite :D

1:42 am

sprite

I did not, mrP! *hugs*

1:43 am

FranMag

finally at 50 words!

1:43 am

sprite

I tried Beorn, Ceorn... names from The Book ;)

1:44 am

Krys10

like oxygen, the letter T is something I never appreciate enough until I'm not getting any!

1:44 am

sprite

True, true, all too true Krys!

1:44 am

FranMag

no kidding krys!

1:45 am

sprite

And knowing the babble gods, tomorrow's grid will have 6 Ts, probably.

1:45 am

jillibus

and 500 words when it's my library day

1:46 am

mrpresident

that language just isn't 'you' sprite... you would never say that!... however if there were a K in here! Watch out!

1:46 am

Krys10

we had a discussion about K's earlier.. sprite agrees that some K's do come in handy :)

1:46 am

sprite

I'd never say it sucks. But it s*cks would be appropriate for a 3 K grid.

1:47 am

Krys10

ooh, but then you could have words like "kick" and "knack"! I love K's!

1:47 am

jillibus

phantom (thank goodness!) - bush

1:47 am

mrpresident

Sprite just said 'sucks'... hehehe *hugs*

1:47 am

Krys10

also smush

1:47 am

sprite

I did not exactly say that, Krys! I do appreciate some Ks... like you. But handy... no, I would have found a way to do without, I am certain!

1:47 am

Krys10

and potassium? you agreed potassium was handy...

1:48 am

sprite

Wish he were, jilli, wish he were.

1:48 am

Krys10

<---- advocate and defender of K's worldwide

1:48 am

sprite

True, I said I did not want to do without potassium.

1:48 am

sprite

One day, we will have a grid that spells popokatepetl... and it will be a phantom!

1:49 am

Angb

I have 29 words left ... usually I would be celebrating, why not tonite?

1:50 am

sprite

Celebrate, Angb! To celebrate is the first step. After that, start thinking up a reason for it :)

1:51 am

Angb

Sounds like quantum physics to me. Think and it will happen ... hey right!

1:51 am

sprite

would shogun have been valid if it had not been a phantom?

1:52 am

FranMag

phantom: cuneiform

1:52 am

FranMag

yes sprite

1:52 am

Angb

Should be - it's a position like king

1:52 am

If we ever talked to this grid, do you think we would understand it? Or have I had a glass of wine too many?

2:01 am

sprite

Still 11 to go, and it is before breakfast, and I can't even have wine to help the brain going! Angb... I am not in a talking mood. Can I kick the grid?

2:01 am

Angb

Sure - may work?

2:02 am

FranMag

2:02 am

jillibus

thanks for those g4 extensions, sprite!

2:02 am

sprite

hmz... I think it did. Found a very latinlooking combo G4/8 - 5/18 and it has an N-pair as well.

2:02 am

2:03 am

mrpresident

2:05 am

Angb

Sprite - don't think I've ever found it before. Haha

2:06 am

mrpresident

2:06 am

2:24 am

Grim-Bigyen

2:24 am

FranMag

phantom: frenum

2:24 am

Angb

It's a plant Grim

2:24 am

mattygroves

I've found a grand total of TWO words today.

2:25 am

sprite

Grim: he + form of verb 'is'

2:25 am

FranMag

grim, the one i have sounds like a racial slur, but it's part of a plant

2:25 am

Grim-Bigyen

angb -- thanks

2:25 am

sprite

wow matty! wtg! you're almost done then!

2:25 am

Grim-Bigyen

thanks all

2:25 am

FranMag

gooo matty!

2:25 am

jillibus

sprite, I wouldn't know where to start, asking for clues - I need so many!

2:25 am

Atalante

lol this is funny, I was looking at my he*** in my garden yesterday and wondering when that word would appear in babble again

2:26 am

sprite

Ata, please don't do that anymore? It took me ages to find it! LOL

2:26 am

mattygroves

So what exactly were you looking at Ata?

2:27 am

sprite

Do you all have the scot's form of 'drain land' Su4/8 - 6/33?

2:27 am

Atalante

just my he**. its a type of plant. a pretty boring plant though

2:28 am

sprite

actually I already thought he4 boring, Ata

2:28 am

Angb

They are beautiful in bloom though - those lovely purple colours

2:28 am

FranMag

thanks sprite, needed those!

2:29 am

FranMag

i have 12 left, but hubby wants to go on line. see you all later!

2:29 am

sprite

Yeah, I thought I'd clue something I had trouble finding, lol.

2:29 am

sprite

bye jean!

2:30 am

Atalante

*points to my new pic for he**

2:30 am

sprite

M4/6 pouting grimace - another one I have been searching hard for.

2:31 am

sprite

Angb, how sweet of you to say so :)

2:31 am

Atalante

oh, I was wondering about that one yesterday as well :P

2:31 am

Angb

Have you the fi 5/22?

2:31 am

Atalante

LOL - not!

2:31 am

sprite

Is it an evergreen, Ata?

2:31 am

mkl

Hey y'all. Can someone clue me on the he5,18. It's driving me nuts.

2:32 am

Atalante

yes it is

2:32 am

Angb

I'd he 5/18 my bets on that one mkl

2:32 am

mattygroves

I still don't know what those flowers are. To me, things are plants (green) or flowers (coloured)

2:32 am

sprite

Angb: think tiny irritating insect that has aspirations to become a vampire when it grows up, drop last letter, change first one.

2:33 am

sprite

mkl: what you can use to mark the boundaries of your garden, if you don't like a fence.

2:33 am

mkl

Thanks. I KNEW it was a piece of cake. But I just couldn't see it. :-)

2:33 am

Atalante

same here really matty. I first knw the name from greek mythology, if that helps

2:34 am

sprite

That's how I will remember the word, Ata. Much easier than the plant!

2:34 am

Angb

Cheers sprite. I had it, and asked the wrong question ... LOL

2:35 am

sprite

Lol! Okay, I am off then, wish me luck.

2:35 am

mkl

Anyone have the be5 words?

2:35 am

Atalante

good luck!!

2:35 am

mkl

I'm down to eight, anyone need a clue?

2:35 am

sprite

mkl: good B5 is half won.
Change last letter for the other one and related 6.

2:36 am

sprite

half won? Or half done? Now I am not sure anymore, but I guess it doesn't matter?

2:37 am

mattygroves

Still don't know what that dratted plant is. Ah well.

2:37 am

sprite

matty: he + the verb that 'is' stems from.

2:37 am

Atalante

look up goddess of youth in greek mythology ...

2:37 am

mattygroves

Thanks ata!

2:38 am

Angb

Or add that lovely Shakespeare "to .. or not to ..." to it matty

chj

2:49 am

jillibus

2:50 am

mkl

Night all

2:50 am

jillibus

it can happen if you inadvertently have a space before you start the word

2:50 am

chj

3:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. I'd be rubbish as a psychic. I had a 'feeling' that it would be a big grid today. Ah well.

3:15 am

FMitch

Morning Haz
It may not be a big grid but it is very very hard, or at least I am finding it so.

3:16 am

Atalante

morning!

3:16 am

Atalante

morning!

3:16 am

Haz1558

The words I've found so far could be an advertisement for the meat industry - f4/8, be4/9. Vegetarians should look away!

3:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning Atalante!

3:19 am

FMitch

Hi Ata

3:20 am

FMitch

I am not seeing words, didn't have the f4/8 thanks Haz

3:21 am

Atalante

its a tricksy one today

3:21 am

Haz1558

They're not exactly flowing from me either!

3:22 am

FMitch

Tricksy!! tricksy!! it's diabolical, well OK that might be a slight exageration : )

3:22 am

Haz1558

(Do I detect a note of slight hysteria with FMitch?)

3:23 am

FMitch

*deep breathing* and exhale. I'm OK honest.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I'm making real progress here - 3 boxes grayed. Okay, so they only had 1 word each, but still.....

3:25 am

FMitch

The c's are good, find 1 and you get all 3

3:26 am

FMitch

I felt very sm4/8 when I found them

3:26 am

philod14

morning folks..

3:26 am

philod14

only 86 today..

3:27 am

Haz1558

You want sm4/8? I found fe4/8 without prompting. And that French money didn't escape either ec4/6.

3:28 am

FMitch

Morning philod. LOL Haz

3:29 am

Haz1558

Good morning philod - yes, just 86.

3:31 am

FMitch

Arthur of antiques fame is back in the grid.

3:32 am

Haz1558

The dear man. The complete antithesis of cheap as chips man.

3:32 am

Atalante

awwww there is a snow leopard in the grid!

3:34 am

FMitch

oh! what's the 1st letter please Ata.

3:34 am

Atalante

o!

3:36 am

Atalante

(its also the word for a measurement of weight)

3:37 am

FMitch

I have that one and didn't realise there was an alt meaning.

3:37 am

Atalante

yup - it crops up in crosswords sometimes, usually cryptic ones

3:38 am

FMitch

that o word was a lovely twisty one to find.

3:39 am

Haz1558

And this from the woman who was declaring the grid to be diabolical. A few deep breaths seems to have worked wonders....

3:39 am

Atalante

yes! I love twisty words

3:42 am

FMitch

Ha Ha!!

3:42 am

Haz1558

Have we spotted the Japanese wrestler?

3:43 am

FranMag

hi again everybody!

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag!

3:43 am

FranMag

hi haz! have you spotted the obnoxious yiddish guy?

3:43 am

Atalante

we have now!

3:44 am

FMitch

Hi Fran

3:44 am

Haz1558

I don't think so, FranMag. Does he wear a strange outfit as well?

3:44 am

FranMag

hmm, don't think so haz, s4 word

3:45 am

FranMag

sh4/6 to be more specific.

3:46 am

FMitch

There is a good mu 4 & 6 combo. The command given to get sled dogs moving.

3:46 am

Haz1558

I go looking FranMag, thanks.

3:47 am

FranMag

finally found the e from the top!

3:47 am

Haz1558

And happiness was the result!

3:47 am

FranMag

very clever haz!

3:48 am

Haz1558

I've found the objectionable man. He is a particular type (ge5/16)

3:49 am

FranMag

thanks haz! needed that g!

3:50 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

3:51 am

Atalante

I keep wanting guano

3:52 am

FMitch

They might sell it at Tescos in the finest range?

3:52 am

FranMag

i keep wanting gorhen to be in a grid again, this has been the closest.

3:52 am

Haz1558

It's one of those grids where you run out of letters for perfectly good words.

3:53 am

Atalante

what sort of objectionable is this man?

3:54 am

FranMag

ata, it also means stupid as well as obnoxious.

3:54 am

FranMag

sounds like one of the three stooges

3:54 am

Odin

Mornin' Y'all

3:55 am

FranMag

hi odin!

3:55 am

Haz1558

Good morning Odin.

3:56 am

Odin

Mornin' Becca

3:56 am

FranMag

hi becca!

3:57 am

Becca Lorum

Small grid today - may have some hope of finishing!

3:57 am

FranMag

ata, the objectionable man is sh4/6, the ge is a different one

3:57 am

Haz1558

(Quiet sniggering from those who have started)

3:57 am

FMitch

Got the sm4 but not Haz's ge5 however did find another 3 g words whilst looking
Hi Becca

3:57 am

FranMag

small, but feisty becca!

3:58 am

Haz1558

ge5 is the latin term for type - there's also latin for burden/word (on4/5)

3:58 am

Haz1558

work not word!

3:58 am

Haz1558

And not work either - this grid has addled my brain.

3:58 am

Atalante

aha! got them :)

3:58 am

FranMag

thanks haz! that was the last O i've been trying to find

4:00 am

FranMag

if anyone is stuck on FOs, there are two weird ones, start with enemy and end like mr. lennon, fo5/18 and plural for fo6.

4:00 am

Haz1558

FMItch - feeling even more sm4/8 now that I have found its mouthy anagram

4:01 am

FranMag

haz, look for d and b words that work with the mouthy one.

4:01 am

Haz1558

FranMag - I had been trying to make that word and feeling the lack of one letter. I hadn't looked up.

4:01 am

Atalante

Haz hu4/7 a sm4/8 tune

4:02 am

FMitch

Good one Haz - you can take that word and build some b and d words from it

4:02 am

Haz1558

I am fo4/8 of a good hu*.

4:03 am

Haz1558

This grid is getting better.

4:04 am

FranMag

the fo5 is one of those awful babble words that i determined to remember, it finally showed its face again

4:05 am

Becca Lorum

Ok I may have to retract my former statement about maybe finishing, this is a tough grid!

4:05 am

FranMag

like i said becca, small, but feisty

4:06 am

mrpresident

finally finished *phew* was abit nasty!

4:06 am

Haz1558

Small, but with French fires within.

4:06 am

FranMag

Haz1558

No, low fat food is all that's served here!

4:09 am

FranMag

4:09 am

FMitch

THat's not true Haz with gh4/7 as an ingredient

4:10 am

Haz1558

4:10 am

smudge

FranMag

thanks nut! how did i know you would like eap?

4:13 am

evanonut

4:15 am

ExWren

Good day to you all. Nice small grid again. I have to go out soon, but I will be back after lunch

4:16 am

Becca Lorum

Oh, I've got the ug now!

4:17 am

FMitch

Haz I worried about you I think you are catching my typing bug!!

4:17 am

Becca Lorum

Hi ExWren - I agree with FMitch - small but not nice :0(

4:17 am

Haz1558

I know - it's a case of the gingers not doing as they are bold.

4:17 am

ExWren

I can see lots of three letter words!

4:18 am

Haz1558

That doesn't cut it, ExWren!

4:19 am

Becca Lorum

Why can't I have fogee - I know lots of fogees!

4:19 am

FranMag

4:19 am

FranMag

4:19 am

Becca Lorum

Haz1558

4:24 am

FranMag

4:25 am

Haz1558

You're nearly there, FranMag!

4:25 am

jaiel

4:26 am

jaiel

4:27 am

Becca Lorum

It's a toughie today jaiel

4:27 am

jaiel

Anyone willing to help with un6?

4:27 am

Haz1558

FMitch was hysterical earlier on, but she has calmed down now.

4:27 am

FranMag

i must have missed that haz! did you have to sedate her?

4:28 am

jaiel

lol

4:28 am

Haz1558

No, deep breaths seems to have done the trick.

4:28 am

Becca Lorum

Cup of sweet tea always works for hysteria!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Yes, but then FMitch is into drinking champagne at breackfas time.

4:29 am

FranMag

well that's good

4:29 am

Becca Lorum

Ah, well that's also good for hysteria - but usually causes it rather than cures it!

4:29 am

Haz1558

Once a year on her birthday, but still......

4:29 am

FMitch

I am still here you know LOL Whatever I did it worked cos I'm at 75 words found.

In my defence that was Sunday lunchtime and it was my birthday!!!!!!!

FMitch

Another Virgo - Happy Birthday Becca

4:32 am

FranMag

becca, maybe you'll have a cake ad***ed with candy flowers.

4:33 am

jaiel

Becca - when you really cherish someone it ends with an e, when you dress something with care, almost ritually, then it ends in 'n'

4:33 am

Becca Lorum

TY Fran - I'll save a piece for you!

4:33 am

FMitch

Haz I am still waiting for you to return him to me!

4:33 am

4:35 am

jaiel

4:35 am

Becca Lorum

LOL Fran. Might be a bit squashed when you get it though

4:35 am

FranMag

jaiel

4:37 am

Haz1558

Just looked up the definition - we use that word over here for ditches, but it's pronounced differently to how it looks.

4:37 am

FranMag

jaiel, un6 is not to your liking

4:37 am

FranMag

i need that ne5/16 also

4:38 am

Haz1558

ne5/16 - add a shortened version of a man's name, as in Augustus, Augustin or Angus

4:38 am

jaiel

ty Fran, lets see....

4:38 am

FranMag

thanks haz!

4:38 am

PappouTed

4:39 am

Haz1558

he4/7 - a gardening term for a plant (veronica?)

4:39 am

Becca Lorum

Good clue Haz

4:39 am

FranMag

hi penny! it's a plant, but it sounds like a racial slur.

4:39 am

PappouTed

thanks, haz

4:39 am

PappouTed

no wonder I can't find it

4:40 am

Haz1558

he plus the infinitive form of Iam, you are.

FMitch

Thank you Pappou.

Time for me to leave all you happy babblers, must run some errands. Back in a bit

4:47 am

Haz1558

4:47 am

FranMag

4:47 am

PappouTed

Rise and Shine and welcome to school today, I mean babble today. We're so glad you're here, LOL

FranMag

4:47 am

Haz1558

Bye Fmitch - have a good day.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I have 20 left to find, so the chances are that I'll not be able t ocome up with anything new for you FranMag!

4:48 am

FranMag

but you have haz!

4:48 am

PappouTed

you all reminded me to take my cd player to school today, my died yesterday as humpty dumpty was having his great fall

4:48 am

FranMag

until that one! :-)

4:50 am

Haz1558

What letters are you missing?

4:51 am

FranMag

the 1 from the bottom e is driving me mad, do you have that one?

4:52 am

Haz1558

ec4/6 - it's an old-fashioned French monetary unit

4:52 am

FranMag

thanks haz!

4:53 am

Haz1558

(That was a lucky one!)

5:02 am

FranMag

haz, that ge5 can be truncated for another word

5:02 am

PappouTed

fireworks! Time to go to work

5:02 am

PappouTed

Have a great day, friends

5:02 am

FranMag

yay penny!

5:02 am

Haz1558

Thanks! I didn't think to do that.

5:02 am

FranMag

see you later!

5:08 am

Haz1558

Fran - there's another French word, a pouting mo4/6. Like a rodent, minus a consonant.

5:08 am

FranMag

thanks haz, got that one

5:09 am

FranMag

i'm down to b, f, d and h

5:09 am

FranMag

2 4s and 2 5s

5:10 am

Haz1558

be4/6 - plural Mr Disraeli or Mr Britten.

5:10 am

FranMag

got that one

5:11 am

FranMag

they are probably fish-slap worthy ones!

5:11 am

Haz1558

Okay - so you do have the meat product, the past tense, or the haemorrhage?

5:12 am

FranMag

all those haz

5:12 am

Haz1558

There's the past tense of starting and the past tense of existing.

5:12 am

Uneaixoise

past tense?

5:12 am

Uneaixoise

ooohh, nv

5:12 am

Uneaixoise

meant to say never mind! :-)

5:13 am

FranMag

oh thanks haz! it was the past tense of starting

5:13 am

Haz1558

Good!

5:15 am

Haz1558

The h words are all normal. The plant, the plant as a barrier, a part of the foot, an enormous amount and a singing without words.

5:15 am

mattygroves

Sorry has - yoru starting and existing - are those Bs? I've come in half way through.

5:15 am

Haz1558

Yes - the existing is the past participle.

5:16 am

FranMag

i was missing plant barrier haz, thanks again!!

5:16 am

Haz1558

You're getting closer!

What are the benefits of upgrading to pro?

6:09 am

lynxxx

you can have a flag! plus you will lose the Tile Stats after 2 weeks freebie. And it is such a very small amount to pay and a once off payment (and we like to thank Dr God for making it all possible). And you get Fireworks if you finish a game!

6:55 am

wurdygurl

arrrrgh maties...check out my poet

6:56 am

Eva

If I die, survive me with such a pure force
you make the pallor and the coldness rage;
flash your indelible eyes from south to south,
from sun to sun, till your mouth sings like a guitar.

6:56 am

Eva

I don't want your laugh or your footsteps to waver;
I don't want my legacy of happiness to die;
don't call to my breast: I'm not there.
Live in my absence as in a house.

6:57 am

Eva

Absence is such a large house
that you'll walk through the walls,
hang pictures in sheer air.

6:57 am

Eva

Absence is such a transparent house
that even being dead I will see you there,
and if you suffer, Love, I'll die a second time.

6:57 am

Eva

very odd to see the poem backwards

i don't mind begging

8:54 am

amandacath

...and it's not nice to call them gypsies. For me 'gypsies' are the people in stories who ride around in painted wagons and tell fortunes, the ethnicity is Sinti & Roma

bye inge tc

8:57 am

amandacath

True, I don't. I live in Hamburg. I'm not really sure about the english political correctness with respect to 'gypsies', in German it's a bad word unless you're talking about the story-book people

8:57 am

raelite

well that is good to know...even though I've never been to germany...but might go someday :)

8:58 am

Atalante

we have gypsies / romanies => true ethnic gypsies, and then travellers for "gypsies". if that makes sense

8:58 am

bunnyvicious

I don't think there is a correctness. Don't quote me though. They are more of a story book character to me, think Hunchback of Notre Dame.

8:58 am

we lived in Freiburg for a year most recently (1991-2) and these kids were excused from school to learn the customs of their elders!!!

hi Ata! I thought it was something like that. I'm not sure if it's an issue in the States because there's not a community like there is in most European countries

9:03 am

they can't be worse than americans (no offense to the americans in the room who are intelligent beautiful people)

9:03 am

We had a group of travellers camp out near us once. They left people alonhe, but they left the site a mess. It had to be decontamenated.

9:06 am

Oh, I am not offended in the slightest marso. They have caused a lot of problems and don't seem to realise what a nuisance they can be.

9:09 am

Anniebrook

laurel, bullies should not be tolerated

9:09 am

Atalante

no way *grins* its a huge cuddly toy polar bear, so soft and fluffy, he sits on my bed every day :)

9:10 am

klaurel

he is fine. But I asked why he didn't hit her back since he is a blue belt and knows self-defense and he said he was too scared

9:10 am

EvaNadine

thanks twisty. :)

I know what it's like to be bullied on the bus...when I was a kid some jackass lit my hair on fire

9:10 am

abe79

that's terrible klaurel

9:10 am

bunnyvicious

OUCH!

9:10 am

marso

bless him!!!!

9:10 am

EvaNadine

16 words to find -- 2 5's and 14 4's!

9:10 am

klaurel

the problem is that she is very big, mean, and has a reputation for not being afraid of the teachers and the powers that be at the school

9:10 am

klaurel

and she was this bad on the bus last year and she was never even disciplined, whch doesn't help

9:10 am

marso

can they not kick her out of the school?

9:11 am

Anniebrook

laurel, then this child needs help

9:11 am

marso

i know they do here

9:11 am

klaurel

OUCH! RAE! I hopeyour parents pressed charges

9:11 am

bunnyvicious

Can they make her sit directly behind the driver on the bus. I think hr parents need some rearing lessons as well.

9:11 am

klaurel

Marso, I wish, rumor has it (and this is NOT a racist remark) that when her mother was pulled into school she said "Sorry, there is nothing I can do. She has a problem with white people"

9:12 am

klaurel

they HAVE her sitting in front, which makes it hard for my son since he was sitting there away from the other 5th grade bullies

9:12 am

raelite

no, they did not press charges. I believe that karma will take it's own reward.

9:12 am

bunnyvicious

What a mother!

9:12 am

marso

OMG that is disgusting

9:12 am

amandacath

she'll get it all back one of these days - unfortunately that doesn't help the kids who she's beating up now...

9:12 am

Sam

klaurel, file criminal charges. scru the school.

9:12 am

marso

well said sam

9:12 am

raelite

yes, you should get a restraining order

9:12 am

klaurel

last week the call was because she caled him a witch (but with the B) and apprently yesterday, she was running around the bus while it was moving and playing her trumpet and screaming

9:12 am

Anniebrook

laurel, then the parents need help too...are there any therapists in the school, prob. not....i would def. talk to a lawyer as you did

9:13 am

Sam

that's civil. file assault charge.

9:13 am

klaurel

and my son told her to be quiet, which prompted hte hit in the face

9:13 am

raelite

those poor children

9:13 am

klaurel

and when he tried to move, the other kids set him up and told him to sit down in an empty seat wchih only had a bag there, of course that was teh bullies seat and that got him a punch in hte gut

9:13 am

Anniebrook

laurel, how old is this girl?

9:13 am

raelite

imagine what that girl is going through that she has to act out that way

9:13 am

klaurel

5th grade

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

It's horrible that you have to go to that level. The first time I find out that my child is being a bully, the sh** will hit the fan. I will march them straight to the school and that persons house to apologize in front of everyone. A little humility goes a long way.

9:14 am

marso

A young asian lad assaulted my 10 year old about 2 yrs ago an when i went into the shop I got the hieght of abuse an threatened with a large stick,,,I went police and i got done for an aggrevated racila assault so it doesnt always pay to go the police!!!

9:14 am

klaurel

and she is black, which prompted the "my daughter has a problem with white people" comment from the mother <sigh>

9:15 am

raelite

I want to tell you to kill her with kindness...but your son is probably still very frightened to ride the bus

9:15 am

Tiny

and they say racism is not allowed in schools yeah right tell that to the children who have been hurt

9:15 am

klaurel

my son is Half Chinese and half German (well, like 3rd generation), and I have tried to keep race completely out of it

9:15 am

Anniebrook

laurel, have you spoken to the principal yet, if so, is this girl being suspended and the parents talked to...god, how awful

9:16 am

klaurel

unlike my daughhter, he LOOKS Chinese, my daughter is blond

9:16 am

marso

u try but someone will always have that evil streak in them to use it

9:16 am

Anniebrook

laurel, can you get your son onto another bus?

9:16 am

klaurel

well, I spoke with the principal, they promised to talk to me today. They will tell me what they plan to do, but will not tell me specific discipline (which I will get through the grapevine), but my husband told me to tell the principal that he wants to come in and look at the tapes

9:17 am

klaurel

unfortunately, no, the wonderful thing about my district is that it is small and they keep all the grades together versus you assigned to the school closed to your house, but that involves busing all the kids

9:17 am

klaurel

so, I am dropping him off and picking him up everyday now

9:17 am

Anniebrook

laurel, when both parents are involved they move faster to clear the problem

9:18 am

marso

yeah it may look better if 2 of u go in

9:18 am

raelite

is this girl in your son's class?

9:18 am

bunnyvicious

it seems like they would suspend the child from the bus and make her parents take her to school.

9:18 am

klaurel

and the person I will hire as my lawye rin this case, her son is on the same bus and confirmed a lot of what happened

9:18 am

magzel

i need help with all the co words please and hello, how is everyone today

9:18 am

klaurel

I have a 3 year old and nmo sitter, so, he is in for the bus and I am in for the hollering

9:18 am

Anniebrook

laurel, you might have to drop and pick up for a while until someone gets through to this small monster ( she learned that at home)

9:19 am

bunnyvicious

co 5/20 - what you do when you have a cold, sore throat, add on for the co 7 & 6

9:19 am

klaurel

that is what I keep saying that is is unfair I am the one who h as to take him back and forth and not her

9:19 am

marso

slap the mother lolol sorry but i would

9:19 am

EvaNadine

magzel -- if you have a cold, you will be sneezing and CO5ing
then make it plural
then make it past tense

9:19 am

Haz1558

If you find the co5/20 ( clear your throat), then the others will follow.

9:19 am

magzel

well thanks so much, i shouldn't have missed that

9:19 am

amandacath

well, I'm outta here - have fun all and see ya tomorrow

9:20 am

Sam

phantom word of the day: enough

9:20 am

klaurel

cya Amanda

9:20 am

Anniebrook

laurel, the lawyer has to contact the parents and scare the crap out of them...it's always the involved parent who gets the short end

9:20 am

Haz1558

Bye amanda!

9:20 am

bunnyvicious

Marso, slapping a mother would set an example for the kids, which is where it all began in the first place.

9:20 am

klaurel

I want to allow the school a chance to do something

9:20 am

raelite

they won't do anything

9:20 am

marso

bye amanda

9:21 am

abe79

bye Amanda

9:21 am

raelite

especially if this child is not scared of teachers or the principal

9:21 am

klaurel

if they don't, then i will call the police. I have pictures and I have emails to the shcool and a log of everything that happened on the bus

9:21 am

klaurel

and then I will file civil assautl and battery charges against her

9:21 am

bunnyvicious

I'm very lucky, my children go to a small school, my Mom teaches there. Not to mention, the school kids are 8,9, and 10, so they are there to take up for eachother as well.

9:21 am

raelite

a lawyer sound like the best way to go

9:21 am

marso

i know,,,,,it just winds me up that some parents can teach their own flesh and blood to be racist bullies

9:22 am

Sam

the irony is that if your kid did ONE thing wrong, the school would not hesitate to file criminal charges, suspend, etc.

9:22 am

Anniebrook

laurel, you are right, start with the school and go on from there....you have everything documented which is good, good luck...you cant but i would slap this girl into the next county

9:22 am

raelite

I'm not sure she can be charged at such a young age though

9:22 am

klaurel

I want to keep Stefan from having to go to court and stuff. He gets confused easily when trying to explain stuff. Typical brain-child. Can figure out long division by looking but cant put a coherent sentence together sometimes

9:22 am

klaurel

I WANT to slap this girl into the next century. Actually, I want her to slap Stefan while my dog is watching! :D

9:23 am

bunnyvicious

I would think they would charge the parents, that's how it works when they do truancy charges.

9:23 am

Sam

I have seen 7-year-olds charged with 'terroristic threats' for bringing a tie clip shaped like a gun to school.

9:23 am

marso

lol now now laurel

9:23 am

raelite

as, as we can see, violence solves nothing

9:25 am

klaurel

Ultimately, the police wouldn't even do anything and, if they do, then it will be barely a slap on the wrist, though a visit from the police SHOULD scare most kids and parents, .but I worry from what the mom said, that then it will turn into a race media circus

9:25 am

raelite

personally, I was bullied every single day I went to school...you learn to ignore it...then go home and cry!!

9:25 am

bunnyvicious

Laurel, I certainly hope everything works out for you. i'd hate to be in your shoes. I had better get though, Sky & Twy are aching to get outside and play, it's so beautiful out today. Ya'll take care.

9:25 am

Anniebrook

oh raelite, that is awful

9:25 am

klaurel

I know the feeling, Rae. Unfortunately, neither m husband nor I were the popular kids and Stefan follows our footsteps

9:26 am

marso

got to go folks,,,got visitors,,,take care all

9:26 am

marso

be good

9:26 am

My son is smart, handsome, has a great heart, but is a know-it-all with no impulse control

9:26 am

marso

bye all

9:26 am

have fun marso

9:26 am

raelite

as hard as the lessonis, it does build character

9:26 am

klaurel

bye, Bunny!

9:27 am

klaurel

yeah, but your heart aches for your child since you never want them to go through what you went through

9:27 am

raelite

and even though he is your precious son and you want him to be as happy as possible, are you prepared if nothing happens from this?

9:27 am

abe79

bye Bunny and Marso

9:27 am

raelite

I learned to hide my emotions from my mother so she wouldn't be upset

9:27 am

klaurel

I am prepared. I will just keep driving him back and forth from school and probably write a nasty editorial

9:28 am

klaurel

and you know what the editorial is going to be titled? "THE REAL REASON FOR COLUMBINE"

9:28 am

raelite

good...editorials are the best way to get back at people

9:28 am

klaurel

I really understand those kids now. Abused and bullied with nowhere to turn and even when my son has somewhere to turn, the parents hand are tied

9:28 am

raelite

that's sensational...they'll print it for sure!

9:28 am

editorial? for what?

9:29 am

klaurel

oh, my son got bulled and hit on the bus and I am stuck in PC nightmare

9:30 am

But there was nothing he could do. He shifted slightly and tried to see what might be around him.

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

Wooden planks underneath him, at the sides more planks with iron rings set periodically. The vehicle was fairly high.

He had seen wagons like this before, they usually were bound for the port city at the end of the river that flowed past the village.

9:24 pm

bonkler

There were cages of fowl, and bushels of food items stacked and tied as tightly as could be packed and still leave room for life in the animals.

The wagon jostled back and forth and Sebastian turned away from the other inhabitants of the wagon, trying to find any fresh air.

jillibus

9:27 pm

stidmama

He woke as he was roughly pulled out of the wagon before it had stopped moving.

9:27 pm

stidmama

Two huge, unsavory looking men were there, one with a whip and one with a bowl of stew and a hunk of bread.

9:28 pm

jillibus

no nay no - yesterday made me escape wi help

9:28 pm

They removed the gag and untied his arms, but left his leg tied up.

9:30 pm

stidmama

The one with the whip appeared to be about his father's age -- hair beginning to gray at the temples. The other man was younger, heavy-set and dressed in clothes that obviously were meant for someone smaller.

9:30 pm

lbdawger

The older man handed the whip to the other and untied Sebastian's leg. The goats moved around uneasily and bawled in fear.

"You boy! Get out of there and help fetch water for the animals. The bucket's under the tailgate."

9:33 pm

renfield

arrrrgh jilli me beauty, be quick lass

9:33 pm

stidmama

Sebastian eyed the men warily and sullenly. He was in no position to argue or negotiate. He grabbed the bucket and walked the few steps to the stream they had parked near...

9:33 pm

lbdawger

and continueing with the fe--marchy area, and fe plus what **d bedfellows ren and nut are, and please fe+ all of **

He moved clumsily and slowly, with a rolling gait, as if he were never sure the ground would be where he thought it was.

9:34 pm

9:35 pm

stidmama

Trip after trip, Sebastian made, until his arms ached and his hands grew blistered. Finally the trade animals and the draft animals were watered and they let him hang the bucket up.

9:36 pm

lbdawger

bet sebastion wishes he was thrashing wheat right now.

9:36 pm

rockimggramma

thnx so much

9:36 pm

9:36 pm

stidmama

Sebastian wondered at the men, who seemed restless, always looking around. There were seven in all, he now knew, and three wagons. One with the livestock, one with vegetables and preserves, and one with... he didn't know. But as one man always stood near the gate on that one, he couldn't get close enough to tell.

9:37 pm

Ping

regrets regrets

9:37 pm

stidmama

It was already getting late in the day, but they moved out anyway, taking the rarely used trail down the mountain to the west.

9:38 pm

stidmama

He knew that it would eventually wind around and come out to parallel the river as it flowed to the sea. He was confused that they took this route.

9:39 pm

remluc

go 4/7???

9:39 pm

stidmama

But the men seemed reluctant to speak except in low whispers and grunts. They tied his hands again, in front this time, and shoved him unceremoniously back into the livestock wagon, but left him ungagged and otherwise unfettered.

9:40 pm

lbdawger

rem, like the 5 without the middle letter

9:40 pm

Ping

go + commercial on tv

9:40 pm

stidmama

He tried not to let his fear and disappointment show, but the men laughed at him anyway...

9:40 pm

bonkler

9:40 pm

go 4/7 ": to prod with a stick, to urge on

9:40 pm

Once the gate was closed and latched, he let the tears fall.

9:41 pm

whitewitch1111

mu 6/30 please

9:41 pm

Ping

past tense of mu 4

9:41 pm

stidmama

With a rumble and a jolt, the wagon began to move, throwing Sebastian to the floor and sending the chickens into a tizzy.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

the past tense of what is said to a team of dogs.

9:42 pm

whitewitch1111

ty ping i totally forgot to look for past tense

9:42 pm

stidmama

Hour after painful hour, the wagon jolted and bounced, jostled and bumped its way down the mountain.

9:42 pm

lbdawger

(Stid, your Tom is a handsome fella!)

9:42 pm

Ping

yw!

9:43 pm

stidmama

Every once in a while a bit of fresh air came up through a crack in the floorboards, and Sebastian found that if he put his head near it he felt better.

9:43 pm

stidmama

*don't I know it, lbd!*

9:44 pm

stidmama

Inside the wagon it was stuffy and hot. After a while, the smell ceased to be oppressive and simply was.

9:44 pm

stidmama

When the wagon stopped again, it was dark outside, and the blast of cold air that came in when they opened the gate made Sebastian gasp.

9:46 pm

stidmama

The huge man stood there, still with the whip, but this time it hung off his belt. He untied the rope that bound Sebastian's hands and motioned to the bucket wordlessly.

9:46 pm

msilver620

l

9:47 pm

stidmama

No words were needed. Sebastian could hear the roar of the river and quickly proceeded at his task, wincing at every step, as the bucket's handle cut into his blistered palms and fingers. He shoulders ached and his feet were bruised from walking over the rocks.

9:47 pm

stidmama

yes, msilver? Need another clue?

9:48 pm

msilver620

I need help!

9:49 pm

stidmama

When he was done watering the animals, the man handed him a large broom. Sebastian swept out the filth from the wagon. He could smell something cooking from the fire the men had built.

9:49 pm

stidmama

help with what? can you be more specific?

9:49 pm

renfield

aye ms silver

9:49 pm

msilver620

I am trying to find the flag and the little person next to your player name. I switched my browser to firefox.

9:50 pm

stidmama

Finally, he was done and the man shoved him toward the fire. The men were smiling a bit more now, passing around a bottle from which they eagerly chugged drinks.

9:50 pm

Ping

click on MY ACCOUnt in top right hand corner of this page

9:51 pm

stidmama

Sebastian found a spot not too close to the men and was handed a bowl with more stew and more bread.

9:51 pm

Ping

then fill in blanks in section OPtional INFO - does that work?

9:51 pm

Ping

should ask for your country and gender there?

9:51 pm

stidmama

He looked curiously at the bottle, and one of the men passed it over to him. Sebastian threw his head back and chugged...

9:52 pm

stidmama

and spluttered and gagged and choked. The liquid burned all the way to his stomach, where it set fire to the stew.

9:53 pm

stidmama

One of the men grabbed the bottle out of his hands as he raced for some bushes and was ill.

9:53 pm

bonkler

9:53 pm

9:55 pm

stidmama

Sebastian returned to the circle, and a youngish man -- maybe John or Daniel's age -- came up to his side with a tin cup filled with milk.

9:55 pm

stidmama

hello harpjane! not easy, but manageable for some one like you.

9:56 pm

stidmama

Sebastian accepted it gratefully and sat down again.

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

stidmama

He finished his meal and listened drowsily to the songs the men sang, of far-off lands and salty waters, of women who offered favors (what sort, Sebastian didn't know, perhaps candy he thought sleepily), of vast riches to be had for the brave and wary.

9:57 pm
