chic- no, i haven't learned the magic of putting your own pictures into the computer yet - this is the icon i used for the high school yearbook theme day - everyone used to call me "posieden" cause they all thought we looked exactly alike - (they tried carol, but i would never answer to that - you know how you get trained to only respond to your name?

12:06 am

jillibus

Hi nan - I expect it won't take YOU long!

12:07 am

debbinla

well - at the beginning of the year he was great - was hurt most of hte season - but he's going to be a hall of famer - one of the best pitchers of al time - so - he might have risen to the occasion - but he's really been hurt ....

It was a gift, really. There were 12 friends around her bed when she died and in a way we carried her as far as we could. Her biggest fear was being alone - at least we have been able to make sure she wasn't alone at all.

Cat9x

Your doing great colhad, if you mean the way we write clues, we just make them up, using **** for letters that will be in the word you need. We just clue it for you, so you can get the word on your own. Like if it was carbon, we would clue it as ca**** copy. We give the first 2 letters only, then clue the rest.

Jacula

Afternoon all. 3rd ye word is la5/10, not ye**.

6:52 am

Wolvie

hi jac - la as in not on time?

6:52 am

Jacula

Wolvie. Yes.

6:53 am

Wolvie

ok - thanks!

6:53 am

Jacula

y/w.

6:53 am

chiley

is it a 5?

6:54 am

Wolvie

that is one odd ball - at least to me

6:54 am

Wolvie

no chiley - a 4

6:54 am

Wolvie

double consonant

6:54 am

Jacula

chiley - no. It's ye4/6.

6:55 am

chiley

ahh..thanks

6:55 am

Jacula

It's a Scottish word for ga4/6 (entrance).

6:56 am

Wolvie

ahh - thanks, jac

6:56 am

Wolvie

ooh - my middle name is in the grid - going to change my icon...

6:59 am

Wolvie

7:00 am

Wolvie

I hadn't looked at the g's yet jac - so thanks again!

7:03 am

Wolvie

hey - galette is so a word - hmmph.

7:03 am

Wolvie

oops

7:04 am

Wolvie

should have used some stars in the middle there - sorry

7:05 am

Jacula

Never mind, Wolvie. I'm cluing a ga6/24.

7:05 am

Jacula

*clueing

7:05 am

Wolvie

saw that, jac - good clue

7:06 am

Wolvie

still, if that word I typed is in Webster, which it is, it should be good for this grid - bummer

7:07 am

Jacula

Wolvie - it won't accept 'pitter' or 'pitta' either.

7:08 am

Haz1558

Hello all - I was surprised at non-acceptance of pitter as well.

7:08 am

Jacula

Hi Haz.

7:08 am

Jacula

Lovely icon, Haz.

7:08 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula - that's a greedy bird you've got there!

7:09 am

Wolvie

hi haz

7:09 am

Jacula

Indeed it is, Haz! Did you finish yesterday in the end?

7:09 am

Wolvie

yeah - I know on the pi's - odd

7:09 am

Haz1558

Thanks Jacula - just up the road from me, well a few miles anyway.

7:10 am

Haz1558

I did indeed, Jacula. It was much easier once I succumbed to the list!

7:13 am

Wolvie

funny thing, it takes the coffee stuff, but not the ta**. LOL

7:13 am

Jacula

Haz - When I was researching my family tree (not finished yet!) and was following up my maiden name (which is unusual), I discovered that a whole lot of relatives live in Douglas Bridge, which apparently is a small town in Strabane, Co. Tyrone. Do you know that place?

7:14 am

Haz1558

No, I don't - I would know County Antrim and Down best of all the counties. I'll have a little nose round and see what I can find out about it.

7:15 am

pida 1

good morning, all

7:15 am

Jacula

Thanks Haz. Any personal stuff you find, can you message me through BabAnon please?

7:15 am

Wolvie

hi pida

7:15 am

Jacula

Morning pida.

7:16 am

Jacula

Wolvie - coffee stuff?

7:17 am

Wolvie

you know - la*** and plural -

7:17 am

Jacula

Thanks, Wolvie. I hadn't spotted those.:)

7:18 am

Wolvie

oh good - I owe you a few clues!

7:19 am

Haz1558

Jacula - it's not a big place (81 people in 2001) but it is featured in Wilkapaedia!

7:19 am

catsmm

It won't take pitter - never heard of the pitter patter of little feet?

7:19 am

Wolvie

hi catsmm

7:20 am

Jacula

I've just got 2 more words following that trail, Wolvie. An archaic language (+ plural) with a double consonant in the middle.

7:20 am

catsmm

Hi Wolvie

7:20 am

Haz1558

Jacula - do you have an idea when your relatives would have been living there?

7:21 am

Jacula

Haz - I know. That's why I was so surprised to find such a large concentration of family there. I knew about the ones in Douglas Isle of Man but the Irish contingent were a surprise. I was researching up to date infodisk stuff about 3 years ago, Haz.

7:22 am

Jacula

Sorry, that should have been up to da4/5 infodisk stuff. LOL.

7:23 am

Haz1558

(Just checked to see that I had the da4/5!)

7:23 am

Jacula

catsmm - Yes, we were just discussing the absence of pitter.

7:23 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz. Had you?

7:24 am

Haz1558

I did - and the added on bits!

7:24 am

Jacula

*Jacq scuttles off to look for more than one added on bit.*

7:24 am

catsmm

Just got here...

7:25 am

catsmm

Love your icon, Haz. Visited Ireland several years ago and loved it there.

7:25 am

Jacula

catsmm - Yes. I was just agreeing with you.

7:26 am

Haz1558

Thank you! We probably don't appreciate just how pretty it is.

7:26 am

Jacula

My phantom today is 'yesterday'.

7:26 am

Haz1558

Now there's a cue for a song....

7:27 am

Jacula

You sing this time, Haz.:D

7:27 am

Haz1558

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away... and you all know the rest.

7:28 am

Jacula

LOL. 'Yesterday, all the grid words were well hid away....'

7:28 am

Haz1558

'Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong, now I long for yesterda a a a y.'

7:29 am

Jacula

Beautiful, Haz! What a songbird you are.:)

7:29 am

catsmm

My phantom is "dagger"

7:29 am

Haz1558

No training, just raw talent.

7:30 am

Jacula

catsmm - there is a pointy da4. (Pub game 'weapon'.)

7:31 am

Jacula

So, Haz... will we be watching the next X Factor to see you?

7:31 am

catsmm

Aha! Thanks.

7:31 am

Haz1558

I'd sooner cut my own throat!

7:32 am

Jacula

Catsmm - also, you can add a French masculine 'the' to the end and plural it, too. It means 'to scuttle about'.

7:33 am

Jacula

Haz - know what you mean!

7:33 am

catsmm

That must be a British word - it sounds British, somehow. :)

7:33 am

Wolvie

thanks for those clues, jac!

7:34 am

Jacula

y/w.

7:40 am

Wolvie

on the ag's - i have the micro base, the rock & plural, the cactus, the oil and it's plural - what am I missing?

7:42 am

Wolvie

got one more - means metal or tag sheath..

7:43 am

Jacula

brb - 'phone.

7:43 am

10:05 am

hurshy

(personally i am more of a zack girl, but whatever)

10:05 am

raelite

10:05 am

hurshy

10:06 am

wurdygurl

Iwow, we are the slater trivia girls

10:06 am

hurshy

his career is not going to tremendously

10:06 am

raelite

bunny: a place where you might find a corner of a triangle

10:06 am

ch1212

an9 = geometry term + Belfast dog

10:07 am

wurdygurl

come on b&b is great...kinda

10:07 am

raelite

are you kidding? he's totally ripped and completely naked on nip/tuck this year!!

10:07 am

10:07 am

torgone

Belfast dog??

10:08 am

hurshy

what is a belfast dog? an irish se6/18?

10:08 am

wurdygurl

I didn't know about nip tuck either

10:08 am

raelite

oh...the shower scene with Julian McMahon...

10:08 am

ch1212

okay, any city in that country :)

10:08 am

raelite

there was water...and soap....and bubbles...and....

10:08 am

wurdygurl

he was in the shower scene with Julian??????? what would Pheobe say?

10:08 am

ch1212

I was trying not to give it completely away

10:08 am

hurshy

ok, ok, this is a family site

10:09 am

raelite

woah that was out of left field....

10:09 am

Inge2

as in Irish Se6/18? that's too many letters

10:09 am

hurshy

yeah i am confused

10:09 am

metaleather

updated icon

10:09 am

hurshy

but i know what wurdy means - charmed reference, right?

10:09 am

ch1212

omg, inge, sorry -- I'm mixing up my clues ... as if I'm not already mixed up enough.... tack the ending si4/4 onto that geometry term.

10:09 am

wurdygurl

I thought you were saying that Mario was in the shower with Julian

10:09 am

raelite

anyhow hursh, it was tasty-licious.

10:10 am

wurdygurl

right!

10:10 am

raelite

mario and julian were in the shower together on julian's show, nip/tuck

10:10 am

10:11 am

metaleather

hiya TO

10:11 am

ch1212

yes, inge :)

10:11 am

hurshy

oh oh, silly me

10:11 am

raelite

yes, inge

10:11 am

Inge2

got it now

10:11 am

raelite

add the geomertry term with a "place"

10:11 am

Inge2

was using two geometry terms (one si4/4/ is a geometry term too)

10:12 am

hurshy

i was trying to put 2 math words together, lol

10:12 am

hurshy

snap inge2!!!

10:12 am

raelite

yeah...math makes me crazy too :(

10:12 am

hurshy

i like math

10:12 am

Inge2

hah, hurshy!

10:12 am

raelite

I'm glad someone does

10:13 am

Inge2

and thanks ch and raelite

10:13 am

raelite

I guess you have to like math to figure out how many dilithium crystals you need to fly from here to the delta quadrant

10:13 am

hurshy

:)

10:14 am

hurshy

of course that totally depends

10:14 am

raelite

totally.

10:14 am

torgone

:|

10:14 am

ch1212

you're very kind, inge ... but for the benefit of all, I'll leave clueing to other, higher, better minds ...:D

10:14 am

hurshy

how big is the ship? how efficient is the engine? do we have the ability to recharge them? are we running into any wormholes? etc.

10:15 am

hurshy

(that is torgone refraining from being an imp)

10:15 am

hurshy

(and i am making it harder for him)

10:15 am

torgone

:+

10:15 am

raelite

do you need to factor in how many boards you'll be sending as well?

10:15 am

raelite

let's torture him together, shall we?

10:16 am

raelite

you know, when the guy on the planet says "beam me a board"?

10:16 am

hurshy

lol

10:16 am

raelite

presumably to build some kind of shelter and/or flag pole

10:16 am

torgone

8|

10:16 am

hurshy

but no, i do not wish to torture torgone. unlike some governments i could name, i do not believe in fighting fire with fire.

10:17 am

raelite

lol

10:18 am

hurshy

ick, i hate the smell of ramen in the morning

10:18 am

hurshy

or, you know, any other time.

10:18 am

raelite

I don't like it period...

10:18 am

hurshy

yes, it is a most revolting substance

10:19 am

hurshy

oh speaking of inedible substances, has anyone ever witnessed anything more memorable than jon stewart offering pervez musharraf a twinkie?

10:20 am

hurshy

i suppose if you saw kennedy get shot... but as historical moments go, this one is definitely up there.

10:20 am

raelite

I don't watch jon stewart...mostyl on principle

10:21 am

metaleather

I've never understood WHY anyone WOULD watch him

10:21 am

hurshy

and what principle would that be? the principle of "early to bed, early to rise"? the principle of not watching american television? there are many possibilities here

10:21 am

cybernan

is the an 9 a compound word beginning with an 5/14?

10:21 am

hurshy

yup, cnan

10:22 am

hurshy

well it's more like it has a suffix but that suffix is a word

10:22 am

raelite

I think that his "smart" brand of comedy just perpetuates repetition ... satirizing politics isn't anything noteworthy or new

10:22 am

cybernan

thanks, hurshy

10:23 am

hurshy

but why does it have to be new? and how can it be, if as solomon says "there is nothing new under the sun"?

10:23 am

Luckemamala

10:24 am

hurshy

what about stewart makes you cringe?

10:24 am

raelite

raelite

10:24 am

hurshy

10:24 am

hurshy

10:25 am

bunnyvicious

CJ, it isn't to bad, not to many off the wall words, all variations of...

10:25 am

Luckemamala

305 and I only have 55. I could not possibly finish this today.

10:25 am

raelite

that's funny....Jon Stewart is just a guy with a funny voice...but that's just what I think...I'm glad he has fans like you sticking up for him

10:25 am

CJ25

hear hear luckemamala

10:25 am

hurshy

10:26 am

bunnyvicious

10:28 am

bunnyvicious

I broke down with 32 left and whipped out the list.

10:29 am

cybernan

not a beer drinker, bunny, but thanks.

10:29 am

metaleather

oh jeez... Ali G? peeeyuke!

10:29 am

cybernan

good for you -- I still have 128 left.

10:29 am

metaleather

I must be from an entirely different generation

10:30 am

raelite

well who do you find funny, metal?

10:30 am

bunnyvicious

3rd an 6/24 - an + tall letter + how old you are

10:30 am

metaleather

George Carlin

10:30 am

hurshy

metaleather - certainly there are moments when he can be offensive, but in between, you almost die laughing, so it's worth it...

10:30 am

cybernan

got it bunny, thank you

10:30 am

raelite

oh yeah...the 6 words you can't say on tv

10:30 am

metaleather

Ron White

10:30 am

metaleather

Kelly Monteith

10:30 am

bunnyvicious

...and I meant 2nd an 6/24

10:30 am

metaleather

Bill Engvall

10:30 am

cybernan

Oh I agree metal -- I like his sense of humour also

10:30 am

metaleather

Abbott and Costello

10:31 am

bunnyvicious

See ya'll Sunday.

10:31 am

raelite

2000 year old man?

10:31 am

hurshy

let's see... heard of george carlin and abbott and costello...

10:31 am

metaleather

Who's on First makes me laugh out loud every time

10:31 am

cybernan

I have Carlin's comments on ageing framed and hanging in the powder room.

10:31 am

metaleather

Victor Borge.... Phonetic punctuation

10:32 am

raelite

oh I love that gag too

10:32 am

hurshy

yes, victor borge, i find that funny also

10:32 am

CJ25

right Im too tired for it so stopping :) ttfn!

10:32 am

metaleather

I've loved that bit since I was a kid

10:32 am

raelite

Bill Cosby's stand up is great too

10:32 am

pida 1

see ya later , bunny

10:32 am

metaleather

his older stuff was best, but some of the more current is ok too

10:32 am

hurshy

robin williams - gosh i can't wait to see "man of the year"

10:32 am

metaleather

I liked Flip Wilson

10:33 am

pida 1

later CJ

10:33 am

metaleather

oh yes, definitely Robin Williams

10:33 am

metaleather

bye CJ

10:34 am

raelite

oh noooo it's only 8:30....

10:34 am

hurshy

i just think what jon stewart is doing is so... i mean, look at the irony - the day after he interviews musharraf, katie couric has a story about him doing it, they're doing stories on it on cable news shows... he's the one getting the real interviews and all they can do is cover him!

10:35 am

Wolvie

you know that new movie with Robin Williams, hurshy? Watch out? ;-)

10:35 am

metaleather

here's one that will really date me.... Red Skelton doing the "girdle" routine

10:36 am

Wolvie

metal - I adored Red Skelton - watched him all the time

10:36 am

hurshy

he really does interview people much more nicely than anyone else. he is respectful and actual exchanges of ideas can take place.

10:36 am

hurshy

why do i need to watch out?

10:36 am

Wolvie

I like Jon Stewart - no problems for me. :-)

10:36 am

raelite

Jon's show - and everyone else's - is all scripted with pre=approved questions

10:37 am

Wolvie

the comedian, based a lot on JS, gets elected...not a bad thing in some respects

10:37 am

metaleather

remember Clem Kadiddlehopper, and the two seagulls, and Freddie?

10:37 am

raelite

sorry to sound like a conspiracy theorist

10:37 am

hurshy

of course, rae - but nobody else has people on with whom they disagree and talks to them that way

10:37 am

Wolvie

oh yes - and his "good nite and God bless" - he was the best

10:37 am

raelite

it's cool though, we need variety

10:38 am

hurshy

he actually wants the people with whom he disagrees to be able to present their best argument

10:38 am

hurshy

and how great was it that he got crossfire canned? :)

10:39 am

metaleather

Maybe I'll have to try JS again... perhaps the times I saw him before and which set my teeth on edge were flukes

10:39 am

hurshy

i agree that for sheer hilariousness, ali g is funnier, but jon stewart has more purpose, so i like them both.

10:39 am

raelite

the crossfire thing must have been planned...there is no way that happened naturally

10:40 am

hurshy

NOW you sound like a conspiracy theorist.

10:41 am

hurshy

metal - what set your teeth on edge? sometimes there is rather infantile semi-offensive humor - i know my mom would not approve... is that it?

10:42 am

raelite

lol...

10:42 am

metaleather

I can deal with borderline or overtly raunchy... I think it was the infantile bits that did it

10:42 am

raelite

too much time in a dark room poking voodoo dolls...

10:43 am

hurshy

i find that most comedians have some bits i don't like, but it can be worth it for the other parts

10:43 am

abe79

OMG Hurshy, that is the best icon clue ever (sorry to interrupt comedian convo)

10:43 am

hurshy

i think it would serve his purpose better to cut out some of the infantile and raunchy stuff - i think it would do my mom good to watch him, and that would totally turn her off.

10:44 am

hurshy

:) thank you abe :)

10:44 am

raelite

I still see the dali painting, hursh

10:44 am

abe79

fresh, raelite, it's worth it!

10:50 am

abe79

hurshy- did you ever watch Square one television (a math show)?

10:50 am

raelite

there's an article about the dr 7 in the NY times about them doing a dr7 about those envolopes that had the anthrax in them several years ago

10:50 am

hurshy

10:50 am

abe79

they spoofed dr 7

10:51 am

cybernan

10:51 am

abe79

I did! I loved it!

10:51 am

hurshy

oh, of course, i know dr7, i just ddin't see it cause it was all twisty

10:51 am

metaleather

I remember how they used to portray the pot smokers... it was almost like watching Reefer Madness

10:51 am

Charm

I was very young (sorry) when it was on, but I do remember the opening....

10:51 am

hurshy

here comes dirk niblick of the math brigade, he'll look you right in the eye...

10:51 am

Wolvie

I am missing (amongst other things) an ea 5/10 - I have the food one - what am I missing??

10:52 am

abe79

i occassionally get the isoceles triangle song in my head...

10:52 am

hurshy

2 food ones wolvie

10:52 am

cybernan

Don't apologize for youth, Charm -- it's just that some of us wish we still had it!!!

10:52 am

Wolvie

if we are talking dr 7, I was very young as well. :-)

10:52 am

Charm

there are 2 food ones.

10:52 am

raelite

it soars and is your country's national symbol

10:52 am

hurshy

abe, i get ALL the songs in my head! i keep them there intentionally :)

10:52 am

hurshy

go backwards, then go forwards, if the number's still the same then it's a... palindrome

10:53 am

Wolvie

oh duh - I had the other bird ones of that. Jeez

10:53 am

abe79

Hurshy- I would love to get the episodes on DVD. they really helped me in math!

10:53 am

Wolvie

nope, had the bird too - there is another

10:53 am

hurshy

i KNOW, i totally wish you could buy the whole series.

10:53 am

hurshy

they do sell some of the mathnets but i think that's it.

10:53 am

Wolvie

the bird is a 5/14...

10:54 am

hurshy

2 food ones, wolvie.

10:54 am

raelite

10:54 am

Charm

Wolvie = the one who dines and past tense.

10:54 am

hurshy

why did i not have the foresight to tape them! nine, nine, nine, that crazy number nine...

10:54 am

Wolvie

I need an ea 5/10 that is not one who ea** - rae, I have all the bird ones, thanks

Wow. big grid. Will start it up but no intention of finishing. It is lovely weather today -- not too hot, and dry. I have a lot to do and won't get to it all if I drink solid coffee all day!

10:55 am

hurshy

mathman, your mission is to eat all the multiples of 7. when you encounter a number, you will have 3 seconds to make your decision, but beware the insatiable mr. glitch, he will eat YOU if you are wrong

10:56 am

Wolvie

hi stid

10:56 am

stidmama

hi rae! Is it still lovely weather for you also?

10:56 am

hurshy

but who's counting? "once you place a digit on your board - YOU CAN'T MOVE IT"

10:56 am

raelite

oh yeah

10:56 am

stidmama

ah hurshy! you bring back so many happy memories!

10:57 am

hurshy

you saw it too stid??!!?!

10:57 am

didn't they say today was the last day though...I was watching q13 this morning and she said it was going to get chilly

10:57 am

abe79

yay!

10:57 am

iamblank

hello peoples

10:57 am

iamblank

hello

10:58 am

abe79

hi iamb

10:58 am

hurshy

last year, one of my students was debbie allen's son, so when she came to talk to me about his math, i was like, weren't you once on a show called "square one"?

10:58 am

Charm

hello

10:58 am

stidmama

yes, I think tomorrow is supposed to cloud over and it might even dribble a bit for us this weekend. Not sure about you --

10:58 am

stidmama

hi blank

10:58 am

hurshy

and she was like, "oh, yes, a looong time ago..." like she had almost forgotten

10:58 am

hurshy

i don't suppose that's the usual question people have for debbie allen...

10:59 am

stidmama

REALLY? Oh my goodness. That is SO cool... I love math shows. Not really great at math compared to other things but it's fun in no-pressure situations.

10:59 am

cybernan

en 6/21, anyone?

10:59 am

abe79

how could you forget being on square one? lol

10:59 am

hurshy

i have an autographed picture of george frankly and pat tuesday

10:59 am

stidmama

Debbie Allen has done some really good shows. Math One didn't last nearly long enough, in my opinion. My kids learned so much from things like that.

10:59 am

Wolvie

looking for that myself, nan

11:00 am

raelite

there's not much wind, stid, I don't think it will rain here or where you are any time soon

11:00 am

stidmama

hurshy -- how did you manage that?

11:00 am

abe79

Stid- we were lamenting the fact that Square One is not on DVD!

11:00 am

iamblank

is it just me or is this a hard one today???

11:00 am

raelite

why don't you guys write letters to the production company?

11:00 am

stidmama

If it were on DVD, I would grab it in a heartbeat.

11:00 am

abe79

iamb- it is certainly "involved' today

11:01 am

hurshy

cause they had that one time where there was a problem and if you identified the error you could send in for a prize, which was like a bookcover and a bunch of other square one things, but i wrote this sooooo gushing letter about how much i loved the show and so in addition, i got an autographed picture! i know it wasn't standard cause my sister sent for the prize also and she got everything but the pic.

11:01 am

Wolvie

hi Iam - love your handle - it's interesting today. :-)

11:01 am

stidmama

hm. strange sound in the background. better see what the dog is into. back soon.

raelite

there are people in the message board who have all the episodes on VHS...they are chatting about exchanging them

11:14 am

raelite

torgone

Hi all! :)

11:26 am

Ankhorite

majmom, do you have the origin of tequila yet?

11:26 am

hurshy

a homonym is something that sounds the same but is spelled differently... you have the right idea ankh...

11:26 am

stidmama

Ankh -- try a word that sound like need, but spelled more in a bready way (without the k)

11:26 am

Charm

ag5/14 = a + opening in the fence (g4 today)

11:26 am

majmom

7:26 pm

VanTheMan

seems so

7:27 pm

7:39 pm

msilver620

I also checked out your nice website. It's very nice and Tom seems great. You're lucky!

7:39 pm

VanTheMan

can you get this game in smaller grids?

7:39 pm

7:39 pm

kristinc

Van..the grid sizes vary from day to day
this is on the higher end but definitely not our largest

7:39 pm

VanTheMan

AHA - smaller grids sound right up my street

7:40 pm

VanTheMan

where can I find the smaller versions?

7:40 pm

stidmama

Yesterday's was only 70-some words I think (after a while they all roll up together)

7:40 pm

Anniebrook

Van, the grids change everyday and I pray for the small ones, didnt get my prayer answered today

7:41 pm

Van, if you can get as many as you do on your first try that's good! big grids like this are wicked on everyone

7:42 pm

Anniebrook

and kristin

7:42 pm

helenkeller

76 to go - anyone wanna race?

7:42 pm

jillibus

van, it doesn't really matter, because half the fun is the chat from all over, and getting as many words as you can. I'll be happy today if I get halfway

7:42 pm

Jacula

Inge - several little Valeries + a vowel.

7:42 pm

kristinc

inge...opposite of true, change the fist letter

7:42 pm

kristinc

hi annie!

7:42 pm

stidmama

but Jill. You ARE halfway already! :-)

7:43 pm

helenkeller

hiya stid, kristin, annie, lbd, jili, inge, e1

7:43 pm

Jacula

kristinc - why didn't I think of the simple way of clueing that? LOL.

7:43 pm

kristinc

yep...I'll race you helen, 2 to go here :) (the only time I'd ever stand a chance of beating you!)

7:43 pm

kristinc

hi there helen btw!

7:43 pm

VanTheMan

I doubt I'll make 100

7:43 pm

lynxxx

7:43 pm

Inge2

merci beaucoup, kristin

7:43 pm

helenkeller

LOL kristin!

7:43 pm

jillibus

*find

7:43 pm

Jacula

Van - You might surprise yourself. The word count creeps up fast in these big grids.

7:44 pm

stidmama

OH! I thought you meant you had 129 to go... *grin*

7:44 pm

kristinc

no worries Jac...you had your brain occupied with clueing some of the crazier ones!

7:44 pm

kristinc

yw inge

7:45 pm

Jacula

My icon clue is for a greedy sea bird, ga6/24.

7:45 pm

Anniebrook

Stid, are we having a story tonight?

7:45 pm

lynxxx

oh I was startled with the da6.21

7:45 pm

jillibus

van - another part of the fun is clicking on the icons and meeting the people whose profiles you find. Some have some wild stories (ch, renfield, evanonut)

7:46 pm

stidmama

I decided to write the story directly to the website today because the grid was so big. It's already up -- be forewarned, if you don't like boats or swimming you might not like how this chapter ends...

7:46 pm

jillibus

jacula, I was about to change mine to that!

7:47 pm

jillibus

good ole stid, leaving us in suspense about her story!

7:47 pm

Jacula

Lots of other words to choose to illustrate, jilli.

7:47 pm

Inge2

my kingdom for the se/24!

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

HI EVERYONE! HI JACS!

7:47 pm

Anniebrook

stid, will read it later, love boats and swimming but I am still forewarned, hmmmm

7:47 pm

Inge2

se6/24 that is

7:47 pm

stidmama

hi TO!

7:47 pm

stidmama

Now Jill -- I didn't say exactly what happens ;-)

7:47 pm

Jacula

Having said that, since I'm done, I suppose I could change my icon a few times. Problem is, site's slow to refresh today, it being a big grid, so perhaps not such a good idea.

7:47 pm

kristinc

fireworks! who needs what?

7:47 pm

kristinc

hi TO!

7:48 pm

Anniebrook

I need the se6/24 too but I will give only one horse

7:48 pm

lynxxx

7:48 pm

VanTheMan

7:48 pm

Inge2

Inge2

7:49 pm

lynxxx

I did! - I said I was startled by the word

7:49 pm

Jacula

Van - Yes, the profiles are clickable. Every Friday we have an icon as a clue day. On other days we have themes. You don't have to do the themes if you don't want to though.

7:49 pm

stidmama

YAY inge2!

Anniebrook

7:51 pm

Jacula

da6 & 7 are da4/5 (pointy pub 'weapon') + French masculine (sing. & pl.) for 'the'. It means 'to scuttle about'.

7:51 pm

VanTheMan

how do you make a profile?

7:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have 42 to go

7:51 pm

Inge2

would anyone like some clues?

7:51 pm

kristinc

BBQ, a rented movie and I need to make a giant sign for a friend who I am surpising at the airport in the morning

7:51 pm

stidmama

when you join as a paying member, Van (a one-time lifetime fee) you get the ability to add a profile.

7:52 pm

stidmama

Also, the paying members have the "Tile stats" and "word stats" available. Yours will disappear after two weeks.

7:52 pm

VanTheMan

I see

7:52 pm

VanTheMan

what's the fee?

7:53 pm

stidmama

Oh, that sounds like a super evening, kristin! I hope you'll have fun. it's actually easier to find people at the airport nowadays, I think. I picked up my dad a couple weeks ago

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

phantom word: gavel

7:53 pm

Anniebrook

14.95 fpr lifetime membership

7:53 pm

kristinc

She's been gone a month in the Phillipines (over her 50th birthday) and claimed that since she was gone, then we couldn't do anything to embarass her when in actuality, it just makes it that much easier to surprise her :)

7:53 pm

stidmama

I think it's something like $15?

7:53 pm

jillibus

van - it's US$14.95

7:53 pm

VanTheMan

ok, thanks

7:54 pm

Anniebrook

Van, it is well worth it

7:54 pm

stidmama

oh HO! that is just too much, kristin... she'll be so happy to see you. :-)

7:54 pm

VanTheMan

well, as I can't add it, I'm Rosemary, 20, from London

7:54 pm

kristinc

yep, we're coming dressed in black with a walker...good times!

7:54 pm

stidmama

okay, I want to find 9 more words then I will stop for the evening.

7:55 pm

kristinc

other folks need clues before I depart?

7:55 pm

stidmama

Welcome then, Rosemary. There are lots of people who can't go pro (yet) who play regularly.

7:56 pm

VanTheMan

I'd likea clue for any word begining in I!

7:56 pm

Inge2

7:56 pm

VanTheMan

7:58 pm

stidmama

I would too, annie, but not until I get 6 more words...

7:58 pm

stidmama

Well Rosemary -- there are holidays coming up... a gentle or direct hint to the parental units sometimes works!

7:58 pm

Inge2

'night all. tx for the help. :-)

7:59 pm

VanTheMan

haha might be worth a try

7:59 pm

stidmama

good night Inge, sweet dreams and see you tomorrow!

7:59 pm

jillibus

8:02 pm

stidmama

8:05 pm

stidmama

"Sailing the Wine Dark Sea" by Thomas Cahill. It's interesting, but slow reading and he draws some conclusions that seem a little "concocted". Still, I want to finish it before passing final judgment

8:05 pm

stidmama

8:05 pm

kristinc

yikes! I offer to help and then loose everything

9:15 pm

Jacula

nut - I remember a friend of mine saying that once (what you said at 9:12). She'd always wanted to 'sleep' with a Russian and finally got off with a 'roadie' for a Russian orchestra. Her story about his nylon string vest and knitted underpants had me wetting myself laughing before the rest of the ta4/4 was told.

9:20 pm

jillibus

as for metrics, shmeltz - lbs and oz and inches and feet and so on are still lingua franca in Canada. The only metrics which are in fairly common usage are temperatures, kilometres, and sometimes grams in supermarkets. Even the kids give their heioghts and weights in feet and pounds.

lynxxx

Jacula

lbd - LOL. Know what you mean. However, in the UK morn I know I can clue without thinking too much because it's normally UK folks, Aussies and UK ex-pats on line. Later, I need to temper my clues to US and Canada. Having played this game for quite a while now, I sometimes know how to direct clues to a particular person, having learned what they do and do not understand.

9:47 pm

Jacula

That's not to say I still don't get it all spectacularly wrong sometimes.

9:47 pm
