3:43 am
FranMag
i thought of her the other morning
3:43 am

think she went to bed some time ago
3:44 am
sherb
I prefer not to think what's lurking in the keyboard...
3:44 am
FranMag
right after she told us the story of vacuuming up her loose key, martha stewart had a segment on cleaning your computer
3:44 am
FranMag
apparently, vacuums are not a good idea because you may suck up a loose key!
3:45 am
FranMag
i keep forgetting to tell andree about that...of course she knows it now.
3:45 am
JFB
I dust the screen - does it need more than that?
3:45 am
sherb
I knew I was right not to vacuum the keyboard...
3:45 am
sprite
true, vaccuums are too strong. We should use those flasks with compressed air. But shaking helps too :)
3:45 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all.
3:45 am
FranMag
you're supposed to use canned air to clean the keyboard and special wipes for the monitor
3:45 am

Don't clean anything you can't mend is my motto!

especially if you have a LCD or flat panel monitor

4:04 am
Flask1
is it something one would do to get a table for a meal?
4:05 am
sprite
A way to act, yes, I think that might work.
4:05 am
sprite
Fran: incredibly coquettish.
4:06 am
Flask1
no....am not getting it
4:06 am
FMitch
Flask yes, it is similar to that but make it the persona that does it, look at the endings
4:07 am
sprite
compound. First part is "too much of something". Last 3 letters = artfully coquettish
4:07 am
FranMag
thanks sprite!
4:08 am
FranMag
just got it as your second clue came up.
4:08 am
sprite
Guess I was confused - thought Flask asked for more of a clue, but that is still for the 9, I think.
4:08 am

4:13 am
sprite
Found my last 7: De7/40. Must have come from a deep cavern in my personal babble archive!
to burst open, as capsules of plants; gape
4:14 am
FranMag
not really a rodent, more of a spiny anteater hydra
4:14 am
hydra
Doh! (Bangs head with flat of hand)
4:14 am
hydra
You don't see many of those around here.
4:15 am
FranMag

4:15 am
sprite
Those pointy noses wouldn't survive the headbanging :)
4:15 am
hydra
No. I've got it, thanks.

Poor little noses (LOL)

I've got the re6/18 - not giving into temptation but enable doesn't seem to accept being REALLY strongwilled re re6/18.
4:18 am
hydra
Well, don't get any on your keyboard or you might be invaded by pointy nosed rodents, Fran
4:19 am
AprilD
what is this rodent you are talking about? makes no sense
4:19 am
sprite
hi April - it makes sense if you know it is a rodent. Start with what your skin gets from the sun.
4:19 am
FMitch
It's the ta6 & 7 spiney Madagasgan hedgehog! of course LOL
4:20 am
AprilD
it really is time for bed though.....so maybe making no sense is a sign to go to bed
4:21 am
Haz1558
And once it has used its snout, it could roll itself into a ball and clear the rest of the desk.
4:21 am
sprite
Haz - good thinking!
4:21 am
FMitch
Now that's a really good idea Haz
4:22 am
Haz1558
I see a market for the ta6/21.
4:22 am
AprilD
well now hedgehog make sense, but the rest doesn't
4:22 am
sprite
"I couldn't travel a parsec without my Ta6!"
4:23 am
AprilD
then you guys are describing a potato bug too!
4:23 am
sprite
April: first 3 letters = what your skin gets from the sun. Last 3 letters = first 3 letters of what you do with a song if you want to share it with the world. The 7 is plural.
4:24 am
FMitch
For those interested refresh for my t6 icon
4:24 am
Haz1558
For a minute, sprite, I thought you meant 'wreck' when you talked about sharing the song with the world. I thought you had been listening to me in the shower.
4:25 am
sprite
LOL Haz - never!
4:25 am
FMitch
Haz, Im sure you yodel very well :)

Poor April. And my clue doesn't help?
4:29 am
Haz1558

4:29 am

Hello ... and g'night to some of you who are leaving.
5:48 am
Uneaixoise
hey, merk
5:49 am
Merk
I was about to ask for clues on the two 8 letter words, but I'll wish you a good night's sleep instead.
5:49 am
Merk
Hey uneaixoise, up early, too?
5:49 am
Uneaixoise
tried reading myself back to sleep but too tempted by Babble! :-)
5:50 am
Merk
And it's a longer one so I like to start early in case I have problems. It is addictive, isn't it?
5:50 am
Uneaixoise
for those of us with OCD, it's relentless! :-D
5:52 am
Merk
I thought I'd found the es 8, but missed an 'a'. Still piddling with it. Do you have it yet?
5:52 am
Uneaixoise
nope, thought I'd found it in esthetes but just a phantom word . . .
5:53 am
Merk
Got it. Should have done the es 6 first.
5:53 am
Uneaixoise
ooohhh, ok, i see it now!
5:53 am
Merk
The third letter is the one to the left of the e, I think. Try that route.
5:53 am
Merk
Is that the one you found?
5:53 am
Uneaixoise
i had the es6 but just didn't see the rest!
5:54 am
Merk
Oh, the 9 is an 're'. < groan>
5:54 am
faeriekae
Hey gang
5:54 am
Merk
So is the other 8 and a few 7s
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
hey, faerie!
5:55 am
Merk
Ah, Faerie, giver of good clues. Have you any for the re 7,32 and 9,72? Please.
5:56 am
faeriekae
Sorry Merk I'm just now getting started
5:56 am
Uneaixoise
re7/32 re + sc5/12
5:57 am
faeriekae
I do have an re 6 & 7 that build off a vo word and the vo is what you do to elect a president
5:58 am
Merk
searching ....
5:59 am
faeriekae
I don't have the 9 yet
5:59 am
Merk
I don't even have the 7 before it.
6:00 am
Merk
it would help if I had done the sc words first
6:01 am
faeriekae
sc 5/12 in a game you sc*** points then stick an re in front of it
6:02 am
Merk
OK, I have the sc 7.
6:02 am

Have you a clue for the re6,27 and 7 and 8 following?
6:05 am
Biltong
re6/27 to go over something again
6:05 am
Uneaixoise
merk, that's what faerie clued before . . .
6:06 am
Uneaixoise
oh, sorry, just saw that there's another one
6:06 am
Biltong
to go through something again, should I say, in order to edit?
6:06 am
Merk
No, I thought she clued the 7,32 and 9. I need the 7,40 and 8,55.
6:06 am
Uneaixoise
re6/27 to make corrections to, as in a manuscript
6:07 am
Uneaixoise
re7/40 is plural of what i just clued
6:07 am
Merk
Yes, to edit the rough draft
6:08 am
Sudokuaddict
the other 7 is one who goes over and then plural for the 8
6:09 am
Merk
I don't follow you Sudo
6:10 am
Merk
I need the re 8,55 and the 7,40 following it. Is that what you clued?
6:10 am
Sudokuaddict
take the word you were just working with re6/27 and add an r and then an rs
6:11 am
Merk
Oh, I see, I have to start with the upper r. Thanks

6:11 am
Sudokuaddict

6:11 am
faeriekae

Good afternoon, everyone, from sunny but cold UK. I have a mug of coffee by my side in my 'MOO!' mug.

nice grid today huh folks :) its a beautiful day here too - brilliant sunshine, but cold. Such a beautiful time of year. :D
7:33 am
Jacula
I was reading a magazine earlier and found a snippet I thought I'd share with you word fanatics. Someone asked about the origin of the phrase, 'Show a leg', said in order to encourage them to get up out of bed. Apparently, it is of naval origin and dates back to the days when sailors were allowed to have their wives on board ship. In the mornings, the hammocks would be checked to ensure that the men had reported for duty. The women would be required to hang a leg over the side - 'show a leg' - to prove that they were female and not required for duty.
7:33 am
Jacula
(Wonder how many sailors shaved their legs? LOL)
7:33 am
Jacula
Fishbulb - Yes, it is a good site for unusual but caring gifts.
7:34 am

we ususally say "shake a leg" uneaixoise
7:35 am

oh, ok . . . I think of "shake a leg" as "get moving" in lots of contexts . . .
7:36 am
faeriekae
exactly Une
7:36 am
Katydid0615
yep, same thing.
7:36 am
Katydid0615
I take it cars is the theme today? If so, I finally match!
7:36 am

Anyway, that's where the phrase originated.

I've played the Wild ***** for many a year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the Wild ***** no more.
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Wild *****
No never, no more.
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for a Red Stripe, she answered me "nay"
She said, "Patrons like you, I can get any day!"
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Wild *****
No never, no more.
From out of my pockets I took moneys bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have Red Stripes, and wines of the best,
And the words that I said, son, were only in jest!"
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Wild *****
No never, no more.
I'll go back to Jamaica and lie in the sun
But I will play the part of the prodigal son
And if my girl loves me, as oft' times before
Then I never will play the Wild ***** no more.
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Wild *****
No never, no more.

Startrek.com sez
The U.S.S. Enterprise arrives to investigate reports of an unknown monster deep in the mining tunnels of Janus VI. The being is apparently destroying machinery and killing the miners, and has the ability to burrow through solid rock. Janus VI is a source for the rare mineral, pergium.
Soon after the landing party arrives on the planet's surface, a reactor pump is stolen and the colony is in jeopardy from fluctuating life support functions. However, this convinces Spock that they are dealing, not with a mindless monster, but with an intelligent lifeform.
Kirk and Spock, along with members of the ship's security team, enter the mines to find the creature. They discover a large, rock-like creature that burrows easily through the stone walls, as a mole might burrow through dirt. Wounded in a phaser blast, the bulky creature manages to escape through the stone wall.
They continue pursuit and eventually Kirk is trapped by the creature. When it doesn't attack, Spock attempts a Vulcan mind meld with the entity and discovers that it is, in fact, an intelligent being. A native of the planet, the creature is normally peaceful, and called a Horta. It doesn't mind sharing the planet with the miners, but when the men broke into the Horta's hatchery and unknowingly destroyed many of her eggs, it attacked to protect its remaining unborn children.
With Spock acting as interpreter, the miners explain that they thought the eggs were some kind of silicon nodules and that no hostility had been meant.
McCoy treats the silicon-based creature with a trowel and patch material, and heals it. An alliance is formed between the Horta and the miners; the young, newly-hatched Hortas will mine the pergium at a far faster rate than the humans could and the miners will be extremely rich. Kirk retrieves the missing reactor and the landing party leaves the inhabitants of Janus VI living in peaceful co-existence.
