2:10 am

Atalante

am putting hesitations on the end of every word just to see :)

2:10 am

Angb

I do that as well joy. I work thru the boxes and try to get more than half in each - concentrate on little goals

2:11 am

Angb

It's a little difficult when there are heaps of un and re

2:11 am

Atalante

ex-wren will *hate* this grid

2:11 am

Angb

2:11 am

joym999

2:25 am

metaleather

yw, and extend it again a diff. way for another 8

2:26 am

Angb

Thnx goodness back in time for your 8 clues thnx Mettal

2:26 am

metaleather

mend maybe?

2:26 am

Angb

I agree flosey - logically impossible

2:27 am

joym999

uncet would be un5/14, if it were a word

2:28 am

Atalante

when does logic make sense with enable?

2:28 am

Angb

You took the words out of my mouth ata

2:28 am

herinfernallady

i have one un 5

2:28 am

herinfernallady

does that help

2:29 am

Atalante

have a look at the definition of that un5/14 .... interesting!

2:30 am

joym999

I have a UN 5/14...it's a compound word that seems to mean the same as it does with the UN

2:30 am

Angb

Yeh right ata - on which planet do they live? I'll just un5/14 my mail ... I don't think so

2:30 am

joym999

I mean without the UN.

2:31 am

joym999

It is odd.

2:31 am

Angb

Think it's the one we are talking about joy

2:31 am

rolin

hmm..this ur body part...whats the letter count pls?

2:31 am

joym999

yep, think so.

2:31 am

metaleather

ur6/21

2:31 am

joym999

what's the point of adding a UN prefix to a word if its meaning stays the same?

2:31 am

joym999

who invented this weird language anyway?

2:31 am

metaleather

and extend it, twice, to make two 8's

2:32 am

Angb

It's comes out of the bladder the ur ...

2:33 am

kierlex

2:35 am

metaleather

the 8/50 ends up near the top of the grid

2:36 am

kierlex

i think i have the champagne ending

2:37 am

Angb

Think of Mr Gore

2:37 am

kierlex

2:38 am

Angb

LOL Ata

2:38 am

flosey

any clues for the un8 words?

2:38 am

metaleather

darned Energizer bunny

2:38 am

herinfernallady

thanks at that was a great clue

2:38 am

Angb

ch 8/60 a manic butcher chasing the rabbit?

2:39 am

Atalante

poor bunny!

2:39 am

metaleather

the other ch8/60, what the rabbit is after the butcher gets through with him

2:39 am

Atalante

sh7/40 - person who buys the bunny from the manic butcher

2:40 am

rolin

sl8/50 a worse eater

2:40 am

flosey

ty Atalante

2:40 am

metaleather

hi7, what the final consumer is after eating the rabbit

2:40 am

Andree

and she who eats the rabbit could get hi7/40

2:41 am

herinfernallady

thank you for the clues

2:41 am

Angb

The butcher only gets one leg from the bunny so the bunny is lo 7/36

2:41 am

rolin

ch8/60 more to go with the fish

2:41 am

metaleather

then she might be a ch7/44 but she wouldn't be very ch7/44

2:42 am

Atalante

sh7 - someone who gives the bunny from butcher to customer

2:42 am

metaleather

and she might have to live on a gl7/40 even though her clothing was la6/21

2:43 am

Angb

Wouldn't she be cold?

2:43 am

Atalante

ohhhh brrr!

2:43 am

metaleather

probably so

2:44 am

Angb

And thnx metal

2:44 am

metaleather

her voice could even become ra7/32 and she could no longer find work as a re7/32

2:44 am

metaleather

yvw

2:45 am

Angb

She would end up being qu 7/40

2:46 am

Atalante

qu5/16 qu7/40 even!

2:46 am

Angb

LOL

2:46 am

lynxxx

what couldn't she find work as ?

2:47 am

metaleather

and she could no longer afford her re7/28 sp 7/36 abode. her children would be ru7/32 and she'd then become a mere sp7/36

2:47 am

Angb

I think she is an en 7/32

2:48 am

metaleather

a re7/32 of poems, monologues and other wordy type things

2:48 am

lynxxx

ahhh TY

2:48 am

Angb

Certainly wouldn't fin her in the chruch ch 5/14

2:48 am

metaleather

if she's gonna be a ch7/44 ch7/44, she'd better be

2:48 am

metaleather

you might Ang...

2:49 am

kierlex

i've been going all night and i only have 117 words. Stop the Insanity!

2:50 am

Angb

Us ?

2:50 am

metaleather

however, it's all moot since if she ate the rabbit cooked improperly, she'd have problems with her en6/18, severe en7/28 or 7/32 problems

2:52 am

Atalante

bad bunny!

2:52 am

metaleather

probably served in as5/14

2:52 am

Angb

Yuck

2:53 am

flosey

If I don't get to bed, I'm going to be sprawled out over this computer sound asleep - thanks for clues - maybe they'll be easier in the morning

Haz - I was torn between wanting to hit 'Daddy' & feeling he needed therapy. How about you? (It was the sister-in-law who I disliked most.)

7:10 am

Haz1558

The sister-in-law was horrible. There was a softness underneath Daddy, but SHE was hard as nails.

7:11 am

Ah, just Googled for the diary. Published 1981, apparently. Edited version, as she wrote over 2 million words. She continued writing the diary until just before her death in 1968.

Well, that diary will be something to spend my Christmas money on, apart from a new printer/scanner/photocopier. (Power unit in ours 'died' yesterday!)

7:13 am

Haz1558

I'm sure it would make interesting reading. I've just found a mantra for New Year DIeters - ch5/16 and ch5/16 won't give sl4/5 hi4/6. (On the book front, I'm looking forward to reading the second sequel to 44 Scotland Street)

9:45 am

Merk

No volcano, but at least two other words referring to mountains, a words no less.

9:46 am

Haz1558

shorty - ap plus a male pronoun (two letters) ending in a nervous twitch

9:46 am

So there are three li 4 words that have the same first three letters.

9:46 am

Merk

9:46 am

Haz1558

Yes, once the Italians found a good beginning they just kept going.

9:46 am

man.. haz... you are making me want flan. lol

9:48 am

anike

My last ce is the 8 and I would appreciate a clue please

9:48 am

Haz1558

smooth - the saying here is that real men don't eat qu6. I suppose you can get away with flan.

9:49 am

Haz1558

ce8/45 - begins with the coin, add a vowel, then a verb form from 'to be'

9:49 am

Sudokuaddict

ty very much

9:49 am

Merk

Don't you just love all the uses for pp in today's grid.

9:49 am

9:50 am

smooth_pappa

I guess they are... but they are different in my opinion... I've never met a QU6 that I liked. lol especioally that cheese and spinach one... yech! but flan on the other hand. :)

9:50 am

Haz1558

I'm glad to help, anike.

9:51 am

Haz1558

I'm very impressed that you can talk about cheese and spinach with a hangover!

caitlyn

Hi and bye peri

9:54 am

smooth_pappa

9:56 am

rolin

i do a great spinach, leek and 2 cheese flan

9:56 am

smooth_pappa

I see that, I was reading about it online... I had no idea we had such a difference of definition on that word. lol That's why I was confused by the QU clue... I was trying to reconcile that with Crème caramel

1:45 pm

Aloyisius

babble is si***** to boggle, but better

1:45 pm

TeaNCrackers

It's funny, he has been asking (in his way) to sit on the potty whenever she does. I'm going to crack up if he potty learns this young.

1:46 pm

cybernan

ap 7?

1:46 pm

ren8

oh bye the way hi all

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

How old is your son, TNC?

Buttonman

1:46 pm

Scrabbler

a + Isaiah was pro****** (adjective)

1:46 pm

TeaNCrackers

I agree, ren8 - of all the trials we have gone through with kids, potty learning is the worst!
Crackers will be 18 months old in a couple of weeks.

1:46 pm

hurshy

think top gun, button

1:46 pm

ren8

hi aloy

1:47 pm

Aloyisius

Are we talking about pets or children?

1:47 pm

Aloyisius

fighter jets, button

1:47 pm

TeaNCrackers

1:47 pm

Scrabbler

YW Al--I may not get fireworks but I can dole out clues.

1:48 pm

ren8

i started him back in summer and did not work so left it till he was 3 and he took to it straight away

1:48 pm

Aloyisius

1:48 pm

hurshy

my cat is sitting on my mouse :(

1:49 pm

TeaNCrackers

we had a couple pf misstarts, too, actually, a lot! But she turned three in August and seems to have the hang of it - I thought that once before, but I think this is it this time!

1:49 pm

Buttonman

got it hurshy, thanks

1:49 pm

Scrabbler

105 to go and I have neglected much housework

1:49 pm

bichon

My great neice will be 3 in March and still isn't trained. My mother in law thinks this is terrible. How do people in other countries do it so early?

1:49 pm

hurshy

whipping

1:50 pm

bichon

I think so Hurshy.

1:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

my mom and I had that discussion. She thinks that she was more potty trained than we were when we were young - we were trained by 18 months and she just constantly sat us on the toilet.

1:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

nice, hurshy!

1:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

:)

1:51 pm

mcurlschool

it just takes persistance and patience. Stay at home moms have a BIG benefit

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

In other countries (esp 3rd world) mothers use what is called "elimination communication"----kids are trained quite young this way--fascinating! Up intil the 1960's 95% of American kids were trained by 24 mo.

1:51 pm

TeaNCrackers

well, I stay at home and I have absolutely NO patience :)

1:52 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, stay-at-home mothers have no patience because we have to deal with it ALL the time!

1:52 pm

ren8

I stayed at home for 3 days a week and still we could not get him to sit on toilet, but something just clicked when he turned 3

1:52 pm

specificity

hehe... I think it has more to do with the kids, in some ways... I have 6 kids, they all trained at different ages and in different ways

1:52 pm

TeaNCrackers

I have done some reading on "ec" and it is very interesting - I just don't have the patience or the werewithal to do it.

1:52 pm

bichon

Ther is a child rearing "expert" in the US, John Rosemond who swears it's Dr, Spock trained parents who are inhibiting early toilet training. My kids were very will to take to potty training but some kids, just can't or won't

1:52 pm

Aloyisius

there are many as****s to potty training

1:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

tahnks, Al!

1:53 pm

mcurlschool

my daughter's problem was hubby that didn't really care to help out. We managed to get granddaughter trained without her even realising what she was doing----used a sticker chart and she got one everytime SHE went and two if she did it on her own

1:53 pm

Aloyisius

1:55 pm

Aloyisius

1:55 pm

Re: potty training, Chinese friends have told me that some families there just never put diapers on the baby. They have wood or linoleum floors they can clean up, and then put the baby on the pot constantly. I have only one, I found the diapers more convenient in some ways. When he potty trained, I realized I would have to start taking him into gross public bathrooms whenever we were out. (He's 3 and some months now.)

1:56 pm

periwinkle

1:58 pm

bichon

When my son was a little over 2 he was telling us he had to go potty. I didn't want to put diapers on him again and we went to the circus. Of course he had to "go" I had to climb over rows and carry him and by the time we got to the bathroom, he had wet his pants. You better believe we weren't leaving

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

If started too late, potty training is a huge control issue.

1:58 pm

Munner

Munner

My oldest son was the hardest to potty train. I finally made him puzzles, starting with a four piece one. Every time he used the potty he got to glue on one puzzle piece. When he finished he got a Matchbox car. The next puzzle was more pieces, but it finally worked when nothing else had.

hard earned experience, faerie. you can grate a little ginger in right at the end too - natural antibiotic qualities. and if you're really desperate, a little raw garlic and cayenne pepper - tastes disgusting but works wonders.
