Does anyone have the second re8/40?

1:36 am

mirandapan

now, really goodnite--I spotted a tr 7 on my way out. Thx again

1:36 am

jan

mkl, it means to occupy a land again

1:37 am

mkl

thanks

1:37 am

mkl

Hate it when I already have most of the word.

1:39 am

jan

Like plurals? Those kill me. Even worse is when I type in the plural and forget the singular.

1:42 am

mkl

Amen to that Jan

1:44 am

EnemyisME

love it when I have most of the word. hate is a waste

1:45 am

mkl

Ok, last clue? Anyone have the st8/40?

1:45 am

mkl

Half full, half empty?

1:47 am

jan

It's an Italian word having something to do with opera, I think. The s/8 is a plural.

1:48 am

mkl

Oh crap. Anything a little more concrete? Not an opera kinda guy.

1:49 am

rockimggramma

any clue for the ts words

1:49 am

bookwomen

flies

1:49 am

libarebel

ts twice-- disease causing fly

1:49 am

mkl

ts type of flies in Africa.

1:50 am

libarebel

and plural

1:50 am

jan

It sounds like it ought to mean "not crooked." Though with an Italian vowel ending.

1:50 am

rockimggramma

thnx..for the clue

1:53 am

mkl

Jan st clue. Was that for an eight letter? I can only find it in a seven letter

1:54 am

bookwomen

add the second vowel for the 7/28, the 8 is the plural of fourth vowel ending

1:54 am

Andree

plural mkl

1:54 am

jan

Actually, it works for both of the preceding st/7's, though you can only pluralize one of them. Two different ending vowels.

1:55 am

mkl

Aha. I only had the one that could be a plural. Thanks so much.

1:55 am

jan

Vanquished the evil re's...so fireworks!

1:56 am

Andree

yay jan

1:56 am

mkl

2:09 am

garyandjulie

2:09 am

Cute!!! Stollen is the Christmas loaf made from yeast dough. The Dresden version has marzipan in the center

7:48 am

Bloodaxe

Ok bunny, let the icon do the smoking, not you

7:49 am

Faerie

I LOVE marzipan

This is a minor miracle for me....It will be 22 years next month that I have not smoked....it can be done! bunny, one day you will do it!

7:52 am

Faerie

I don't care - I try to quit also but it's just not working right now

7:53 am

bunnyvicious

Congrats Annie. They are about to jump the price a dollar a box after the new year from what I hear?

7:53 am

magzel

bunny, if i may offer some advice about smoking. i tried every method a million times. i have quit before for 1 and 1/2 yrs and then started again. i quit in sept using the patch. i find the gums just replaces one oral habit with another and i couldn't get off it. be prepared for 6 months on longing for a smoke.

7:53 am

Anniebrook

Faerie, I loved to smoke, it was relaxing...but I was finally able to kick it....doctor

7:54 am

bichon

I haven't smoked for over 28 years and do you know what the final straw was? my 5 y.o. son who begged me. He didn't want me to die.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

doctor's advice or should I say warning....

7:54 am

Faerie

Annie even my Dr. even told me that NOW is not a good time for me to try stopping

7:54 am

I've tried the patch, still smoked. These little tablets work pretty good. I always quit when I was pregnant, but that ain't happening!

7:55 am

Faerie

Shorty lots of people start smoking as Young teenagers duh

7:55 am

inge

still haven't decided on my icon. In the meantime, Bunny I quit on the patch some 12 years ago. Too damn expensive to keep getting more!!! I forgot to put on a patch one morning and knew I had licked it

7:55 am

Yup Shorty, about that.

7:56 am

7:56 am

Bloodaxe

7:56 am

Anniebrook

Faerie, you have gone through a very stressful time. I agree with the doctor. I started smoking at 17....

7:56 am

bunnyvicious

I'm down from 2 packs a day. My major incentive for quitting besides the cost, I don't want the kiddos to EVER pick up the habit.

7:56 am

shorty

are you serious faerie???

7:56 am

Faerie

Rofl Shorty seeeeeee

7:56 am

Anniebrook

I dont think I could afford to buy cigarettes now. I stopped when they were $1.50 a pack and I smoked a pack a day

Did you grow up there and go to Heights High?

11:01 am

melonheadjujube

11:01 am

Jacula

sherb - She'll find out you said that! LOL

11:01 am

Vicuna

NO WAY! I grew up on Exeter!

11:01 am

melonheadjujube

I went to Berea High, but thought the Heights was the coolest place on earth, or at ;least in Cuyahoga Co. Moved here in my 20's, nearly 30 years ago.

11:03 am

Vicuna

lol, I don't know how cool Heights was when I went there, but I guess it was going downhill.

11:03 am

melonheadjujube

My music teacher in Berea, Mr Bergantino, moved to Hts in 1969, retired from same in 1988 - I just saw him last week guest-conducting Hts Hi Symphonic Wind Ensemble. How nice to be able to say "hi" & thanks for making a musician out of me - he started me on the bass in 8th grade.

11:03 am

Vicuna

I HAD MR BERGANTINO!!!!!

11:03 am

melonheadjujube

Vicuna

I took private lessons, but not from a Cleveland Orch cellist. I did babysit for some Cleve Orch players, though. :)

11:06 am

Vicuna

I never knew of the Paul Newman or Debra Winger connections. They didn't hang with me!

11:06 am

11:09 am

11:09 am

melonheadjujube

I played Ohio Chamber Orchestra - ballet & opera downtown - not sure if Hts Civic is still active.

11:09 am

Jacula

Happy gardening, melon!

harpjane

I have a grammatical problem with one of the mu6 words. (the one that would go with "deafest.") It would seem to me that this particular mu4/6 is not something that happens in degrees. Either you're mu4/6 or you're not. Oh, well

2:52 pm

LeslieAnn

hi hk, i have been recruiting people for the chicago get-together

2:52 pm

helenkeller

I was like, NO, that is not how it's supposed to be done, you're supposed to kiss me! That's why we're laughing so much

capemaggie

could I get a clue on the first me7/32 pls

7:44 pm

jillibus

All I know, faerie, is that my migrainey friend can't take chocolate (or maybe any caffeine) and that there are many and various triggers for migraines. An elimination diet can find them, usually.

7:44 pm

Faerie

TO did you find the st 7/32's I just did if you still need clues

7:44 pm

Minveryork

Hello capemaggie! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

8:00 pm

Minveryork

I would like to think I am a woman but a girl at heart.

8:00 pm

8:11 pm

smooth_pappa

well, cheryl, they are nearly the same word... just one vowell difference.

8:11 pm

stidmama

hi feather, you rascally rabbit, you! LOL

8:11 pm

smooth_pappa

ST + 2nd Vowel + two Cross Letters +Vowel... like I said that last vowel changes

8:11 pm

featherbee

lol, sending you an email in a second.....

8:12 pm

Sherylr1961

8:12 pm

jillibus

well, helolo again, stid -- and for the 3rd time, are you snowy yet?

8:12 pm

stidmama

and for the second time, YES JILL! though most of today's has melted in the afternoon rain...

8:12 pm

stidmama

hi pappa!

8:13 pm

jillibus

helolo -- neat word!

8:13 pm

Dark

I only got about 33 words, I hardly know any of them.

8:13 pm

stidmama

a quick plug for the Artist Trading Cards... see my profile if you're interested, this trading session is just for Babblers...

8:13 pm

stidmama

Dark, that is not uncommon! are you using one of the lists to help you find words?

8:14 pm

jillibus

sorry, missed your first answer! It's still snowing here, and below freezing, so....going nowhere tomorrow and maybe for several days!

8:14 pm

lbdawger

the st 7's are new ones to me.

8:14 pm

stidmama

I had so much fun racing, feather, had missed it so much since school started for you.,

8:14 pm

Dark

no, my mom does.

8:14 pm

featherbee

me too! ok, email sent....

8:15 pm

featherbee

i'm going to scoot, my turn soon...

8:15 pm

stidmama

oh my, Jill! well, it's supposed to snow again overnight, and periodically for the next few days, with lows maybe down to the teens. Which reminds me, I need to bring my macadamia tree inside tonight!

later feather!

8:15 pm

jillibus

fare well, feather!

aknitter

2nd re 6/27 please

8:16 pm

Dark

I got 1 st7 Ibdawger.

8:16 pm

stidmama

well Dark, one of the things we look for is if we can add 'S' to any of the words we already have. That usually gets me about 15 more on a grid this size.

8:16 pm

Sherylr1961

okay must be brain dead cause I still can't get either one

8:16 pm

Sherylr1961

st 7 that is

8:17 pm

jillibus

aknitter, switch the middle 2 letters after the re

8:17 pm

Dark

I do that most of the time(for some words) stidmama

8:17 pm

stidmama

Sheryl: if you mistype a word for "road" you might double the last consonant instead of the vowel, then add a vowel at the end for the st 7s, and plural one of them for the 8

8:18 pm

aknitter

jilli i am a bit confused by that

8:18 pm

stidmama

knitter, the second is anagram of the first....

8:18 pm

aknitter

oooooohhhhhh

8:19 pm

jillibus

that's what I meant, aknitter!
