FranMag

3:27 am
FranMag

3:28 am
FranMag

Good morning Odin.
4:04 am
Odin

Hey Haz...another good size grid, eh?
4:04 am
Haz1558

Yes - after yesterday's I was kind of hoping for smaller, but you work with what you've got.
4:04 am
Angb

Hi Odin
4:05 am
Haz1558

There are quite a few repeats from yesterday's as wel.
4:05 am
Odin

I too was inhopes of a wee one but alas I will be on this for hours...seems I can't wrap my head around them on Saturdays.
4:06 am
Odin

Saw many repeats...still were fairly fresh in my feeble brain and I looked at them as a gift!
4:06 am
Odin

Hey Angb
4:06 am
Haz1558

Well, if it's of any help, sherb has already pointed out that Kant and Sartre are not acceptable. Seems fair to me...
4:06 am
Odin

and to me also...
4:07 am
Odin

Must admit I tried kant so time ago to no avail!
4:07 am
Haz1558

You lose no points for trying!
4:08 am
Odin

Then I am getting points left and right because I make 'em up as I go...
4:12 am
mattygroves

Morning! Happy Saturday. How's the grid today?
4:12 am
Angb

Hi matty
4:13 am
Haz1558

Good morning matty - the grid is okay(ish). I'm still in the early stages (104) and I suspect it'll get nastier towards the end.
4:14 am
Atalante

can you imagine if you lost points for an unaccepted word
4:14 am
Odin

Mornin' Matty
4:15 am
Odin

I would be in serious trouble Ata!
4:15 am
mattygroves

Ata - bit your tongue woman!
4:15 am
Haz1558

We're not going to think about that one - it's on the banned list of thought subjects, along with 600+ grids.
4:15 am
Atalante

LOL :)
4:16 am
mattygroves

So what should I know about today's puzzle - is the nine a real word!
4:16 am
Haz1558

You'd probably have to rename it Iron Babble and only allow people to play it who could produce a certificate of mental health from their doctor.
4:16 am
Atalante

lol yes!
4:17 am
Haz1558

The site would be funded from sponsorship from drug companies advertising tranquilisers.

Hello jazi.
4:20 am

time to try and re-wake up my brain
4:21 am
Odin

This grid will either wake it up or fry it
4:22 am
jazi

4:22 am
Odin

4:30 am

had my daughter's 5th birthday party today, it was fantastic
4:31 am
Beast

wizard of oz theme, I go very over the top, but everything went perfectly
4:31 am
Odin

That's great Beast...over the top is the best!
4:32 am
Beast

i suppose the only problem was that I spent far too much money
4:33 am
Odin

Ah, but aren't the wee ones worth it! It's only money ;]
4:34 am
Haz1558

Take my advice and save every penny for their education (bitter and twisted having put one daughter through university with second daughter still there)
4:35 am
Beast

I agree I'd rather make it a wonderful day for her to remember.
4:35 am
Beast

In Aus we have a pay later sort of system for uni and very cheap education generally
4:36 am
Odin

I too have spent the fortune on higher education for two...but there is something magical about birthdays at age 5.
4:36 am
JFB

Its the quickest way to insolvency and insanity I've found Haz
4:37 am
Haz1558

The system in the UK is that students can apply for loans that can then be repaid once they start working. But it isn't enough and so parents have to top up. I don't begrudge it really, but it costs a lot!
4:38 am
Odin

We have a pre-paid college fund in Florida which also works if a child attends college out of the state.
4:38 am
Duval

In Aust. the student pay part of their educ. costs once they earn above a threshhold. Private school can be very expensive for parents.
4:39 am
Beast

I hope the system we have lasts, but who knows what it will be like by the time my daughter gets there.
4:39 am
JFB

Worth every penny - you can't get far without that piece of paper! Still we have the excitement of the degree ceremony for our son next month.
4:39 am
Duval

or my granddaughter!
4:39 am
Beast

fantastic, congratulations
4:39 am
Odin

Congrats JFB

Nope...
4:43 am

4:43 am

4:43 am
JFB

4:44 am
Haz1558

4:44 am

4:45 am
Atalante

haz, have you seen this? http://www.animalbloodregister.com/
4:47 am
Haz1558

I'll have a look, Atalante. We once used our first dog, Polka the dalmatian to give a blood transfusion in the surgery. It was 'interesting'.
4:48 am
Atalante

I can imagine! the dog on the front page is my husband's sister's dog, Molly! Sister and husband did the website for them :)
4:49 am
Haz1558

I hadn't realised there was a national register. It would probably only work for the mainland, though.
4:51 am
Haz1558

Anyway, this isn't getting me any closer to getting to the shops! I'd better go and will return to find the remaining words later. Have a good day al!
