helenkeller

chic - love your icon - i remember the first time i saw him in person, in 1987 - he did an awesomely cool number to 'secret agent man', wore a spycoat, had a hat, used a lighter -this was way before the stadiums were packed for ice shows & everyone had front row seats, lol

I saw him once in Seattle too, Helen. He's one of my faves' skaters...

12:21 am

helenkeller

chic- do you remember the skate off between the brians at the olympics, that was way cool too, they were both awesome, i loved how one wore blue & the other wore red & i loved that spin with his arm straight above his head - that's incredibly difficult to do!

12:27 am

helenkeller

jili - i remember watching that as a kid & just being glued to the tv & had tears in my eyes by the end - then i saw it just recently & i sadly all i could think was, 'what was the big deal' - it's nothing compared to what they do now - but i sure remember how awe-struck i was!

12:27 am

helenkeller

good nite lbd - thanks for your help, wouldn't have finished without you

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

am7 :)

12:28 am

12:28 am

helenkeller

that's for sure jili

12:29 am

chic

Diets suck, melon! @ excellent new books are 'The Idiot's guide to Healthy Weight Loss' and 'You on a diet'

12:29 am

jillibus

on the other had -- how often today have you been so emotionally affected by ice dancers?

12:29 am

helenkeller

hmmm, i was going to go with flo-jo, but i think now i'll go with my all-time favorite ice dancers, brb - oh no, or should i go with my all-time favorite pairs - decisions, decisions ---- what to do?

12:30 am

jillibus

greyed the D, hehe

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

i plain & simple eat too much. my triglycerides are up, tho cholestreols are just right - the trig's are from being overweight and eating too many simple carbs. once i'm back on the bike I will be able to eat a little more. right now, i turn to celer stalks or unsweetened herbal tea to cope.

12:31 am

helenkeller

the last ice dancers to take my breath away were b & b - bestiamanova & bukin - - - although there was that other couple that later got divorced, i can't remember their names - going to go with the pairs, i can always change later

12:31 am

melonheadjujube

grey A :)

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

what's up jilli? i got the D now!

12:33 am

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

12:35 am

Angb

12:42 am

debbinla

laila tov melon - sweet dreams!

12:42 am

babbz

True true, jillibus, but I guess if I had to name an amazing athlete, he'd be tops on the list. I'm from Chicago, so have some bias!

12:42 am

jillibus

melon, don't go on a diet now -- just heal and lose wieght later!

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

babbz - i well remember his 69 pt run against the Cavs - poor, poor, Craig Ehlo!

12:43 am

chic

nite melon

12:43 am

12:43 am

12:44 am

Erda

12:45 am

babbz

chic i just watched a program on "you on a diet" this evening with dr. oz. Great program...I bought the book and haven't read much of it yet, but plan to do so ASAP!

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

jilli, I'm eating well - lots of lean protein, dairy, & vegs - it's just i'm so inactive. and I do get in a rice pudding once a day, so I'm not suffering. but thanks for reminding me to not overdo it. i'm sure giving up nighttime ice cream binges won't impede my recovery.

12:46 am

ARB

Melon, can you give me a hint on the am 7 -- my fingers have been worked to the bone and it eludes me.

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

what we swam around in antepartum - different suffix

12:47 am

ARB

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

12:47 am

chic

Babbz, I've only read a few chapters but it's very good and it does coincide with the other book. I just can't diet anymore, so I had to get smart about it.

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

aaaaaah, indeed! 'nite all {poof}

12:48 am

chic

I also got me a personal trainer that I work with twice a week, to get me going.

12:50 am

helenkeller

finally - back with my icon - geez everytime i go to google images i spend an awful lot of time just looking at pictures, like going to the library for one book & looking at everything else that catches my eye, hours later . . .

12:50 am

ARB

laila tov melon

12:50 am

babbz

I hear you, chic. A year ago at this time I was 35 pounds less, lost that much on Weight Watchers Core program but apparently had my head screwed on wrong for the past year and gained it all back. I'm with you - I just can't diet anymore. It has to be a life change.

2:02 am

jillibus

There always seems to be a slowdown at midnight our time!

flosey

2:02 am

purple piggy

hiya guys

2:03 am

flosey

O

2:03 am

flosey

I'm from a golfing family, tho I didn't get anywhere with it

2:04 am

flosey

sleep well Jill, see you Monday?

2:05 am

jillibus

I used to golf - liked it a lot. Anyway, Babe was so great I guess she deserves a double dose. Earlier I had Torvill and Dean up but everyone was showing skaters and someone else picked T&D so I changed.

2:05 am

flosey

indeed - she did a lot for women in sports

2:06 am

jillibus

Yes, I plan to go Monday -- see you then

2:06 am

flosey

good, been a long time

2:07 am

jillibus

yes! now *poof*

2:19 am

sorry flosey not there yet, morning

2:20 am

2:21 am

sparklygem

replace the N with the letter before

2:21 am

flosey

hi sparkly, was afraid I was working alone here!!

2:21 am

Angb

Hi there flosey ... fluffing around. Can't get my head into the grid tonite

2:21 am

sparklygem

hi flosey! am here, just working away :)

2:21 am

flosey

I know the feeling Angb

2:22 am

Angb

Just hear a friend has died. Expected ... but still very sad

2:23 am

flosey

it's always sat Angb - lost an online bridge buddy on new years eve

2:24 am

Angb

Not a good way for a family to start a new year ... never mind ... gave both my boys huge sloppy kisses and hugs before they went to sleep. That's what matters

2:24 am

Angb

The family I was talkin about initially was the woman's family - really not making sense tonite

2:24 am

flosey

indeed it does - mine are all out on their own so just see them occasionally

2:25 am

Angb

I just read your profile flosey ... are you still floundering with Babble?

Jacula

Oooh, the begging letters have started already!

3:30 am

Haz1558

I was first in line!

3:30 am

Odin

It is odd isn't it? They would rather pay me to Babble than to actually be there?

3:31 am

Haz1558

Odd it may be, but enjoy!

3:31 am

lynxxx

Wow - the certainly will make the 'parting' a little easier.

3:31 am

Jacula

Speaking of holidays, Paul told me yesterday that he's taking me to Amsterdam for a few days in April for the 'significant' birthday I have coming up then.

Good morning jean!

3:32 am

Jacula

lynxx - It should be. The bulbs will be in flower then. Haz, 40? You're so kind.:))

3:33 am

Haz1558

It's something to look forward to anyway - do you think the rain might have stopped by then?

3:34 am

Jacula

Haz - who knows?

3:35 am

Jacula

I hope the rain's stopped by the summer; this year's holiday will be camping in North Wales.

3:36 am

Haz1558

And are you looking forward to it?

3:36 am

Jacula

There's also a weekend in Dublin (my suggestion) planned for some time this year for about 25 of my old schoolfriends to celebrate our joint '40th' birthdays.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Watch out Dublin!

3:37 am

lynxxx

so - if some-one could just 'flip' the planet, then both problems would be solved. UK would dry out and Aust would not have drought, bushfires, and Stage 3 water restrictions and heat!

3:38 am

Angb

lynxxx - we have floods in our South Island

3:38 am

Jacula

The camping, Haz? It'll be fine if Wales stays dry for a while and we don't get the mad Liverpudlians arriving right next to us a midnight, putting up scaffolding (yes, really!), lighting a fire and boozing and nattering all blooming night.

3:38 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - if the planet flipping could be achieved gradually then it would be a good idea.

3:39 am

Jacula

Yes, a sudden flipping of the planet would be somewhat disasterous.

3:39 am

Haz1558

You sound like a seasoned camper, Jacula. Industrial strength ear-plugs might be in order for the packing list.

3:40 am

BabbleRabble

How is a round object flipped?

3:40 am

Haz1558

Silly question, but what was the scaffolding for?

3:40 am

lynxxx

Weird Ang - I saw a picture of NZ (satellite) where there was snow on the beach a few months ago

3:40 am

Jacula

Haz - Thing was it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale (it was November) and they still sat out there!

3:40 am

3:41 am

Haz - the scaffolding was to chuck a tarpaulin over so they could cook under it. Well, try. They gave up in the end and opened cans of beer.

LOL, Haz. We lay there in our sleeping bags, wondering what the hell the hammers on metal noise was. I said to Paul, 'It almost sounds like scaffolding going up.' He looked out of the window and said, 'Bl**dy hell. It is!' It was so funny.

3:44 am

Some of the gems included 'Why DID they build Windsor under the flightpath to Heathrow?', 'What time does the Loch Ness monster surface at night?' 'Who performs in the circus at Picadilly' and 'Does the tube line go to Edinburgh?'

Same here, Pappou. Let's wish for a real good 2007 though, and not just a bearable one :)
*hug*

4:52 am

I know Pappou - it seemed to be such a bad year for so many people including your family - this year just has to be better

4:53 am

PappouTed

5:14 am

Kazzer99

Hi Spanner - interesting for me as its the 2nd one I've done and there seems to be one or two tricky ones

5:14 am

lshult

not even close to finding any of the 7's, anyone got a clue?

5:15 am

Kazzer99

re + ike's ex plural

5:16 am

lshult

ty Kazzer99, good clue, 1 down 3 to go!!

5:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning spanner - it's a little tricky today, I think.

5:20 am

spanner

Glad you said that Haz. I was beginning to think I was being thicker than usual..

5:21 am

Haz1558

No, not at all.

5:22 am

Haz1558

I'm laughing to myself - I could really dig a hole for myself if I assured you that you are just as thick as usual - but you know I don't mean it!

5:23 am

larlielou

oggy

5:23 am

Kazzer99

oggy

5:25 am

spanner

No offence taken. I have never been the brightest candle in the box...I am always astounded at people having such a huge vocabulary, particularly if english isnt their first language...you know what I mean

5:26 am

lshult

when you say English not being there 1st language, are you referring to our American buddies (HeHe)?

5:26 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean about the vocabulary, especially with those for whom English is a second language. Babble suits people who can retain letter combinations and it does get easier with practice.

5:27 am

spanner

So you say haz, but that doesnt seem to be happening with me..LOL

5:28 am

FranMag

lshult, i resemble that remark! :-)

5:28 am

FranMag

hello all!

5:28 am

Kazzer99

I have the problem that half the words that are words in Babble aren't 'real' words

5:28 am

Haz1558

The important thing is to enjoy the hunt. I worry about new people who are so intent on finishing that they don't seem to be looking for words so much as the points to be accumulated.

5:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning FranMag!

5:29 am

spanner

Morning fran Ishult, just seen you last comment lmao

5:29 am

Kazzer99

fryo

5:29 am

Haz1558

Kazzer - I know what you mean, but it's fun to learn them.

5:29 am

FranMag

hi haz! hi spanner!

5:30 am

Kazzer99

yeah - its is quite addictive - styed up til 2.30 am to try and finish yesterdys

5:30 am

lshult

No offence intended FM, almost 1/2 the population of my little community are originally American, we always refere to the famous line "2 nations devided by a common language",!!

5:30 am

ExWren

phantom word - torment!

5:30 am

spanner

If I had to stay up to even get 3/4 of them, then id never go to bed..LOL

5:31 am

Haz1558

It was weeks before I finished a grid, Kazzer.

5:31 am

FranMag

i was definitely not offended lshult, just having some fun along with you, your comment was very funny.

5:31 am

Haz1558

Not the same grid, you understand.

5:31 am

spanner

Ive never finished one :)

5:31 am

Kazzer99

It gets undr my skin - I need to finsh things - neat and tidy - also wanted the fireworks

5:33 am

5:33 am

spanner

I know thats why I paly. I havent got a competative bone in my body.

5:33 am

FranMag

5:33 am

lshult

finishing grids, spanner, come with time, patients, luck and alot of clue giving, stick with it, it's worth it!!

5:33 am

FranMag

oops!!

5:33 am

FranMag

it's been quite a while since i did that!

5:34 am

spanner

I dont mind not finishing, as long as I am exercising the old grey cells...

5:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's been a long th5/18 (well you were looking for alt spellings)

5:35 am

licketySplitAUS

popping by again. Spanner - this is what mrp used to do - use the 2 letter list and the A to Z word length lists - then go back from Z to A to get them all - at first it seems tough, but it's a great way to learn words etc.

5:35 am

FranMag

hee, hee, thanks haz!

5:35 am

lshult

FM, havn't done that since......Yesterday. Easily done!!

5:35 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Fran.

5:36 am

And all the players in the house say - get your windows the right size to see everything at one time.

5:36 am

spanner

lickerty, wish I had the time, since the ancient one moved in I have to grab minutes when I can, but i will bear it in mind TY ;)

5:36 am

Haz1558

There's also the mediaeval street disturbances (r4 and r5/14) That's probably not what their meaning is, but that's how I think of them. And is that a police sy5/14 I hear?

5:37 am

FranMag

hey lickety!

5:37 am

licketySplitAUS

hey Fran! having fun with the grid?

5:37 am

FranMag

cool, thanks again haz!

The sizing of the windows is crucial. Lickety's and morewords are my friends!

fuji tends to go a bit green...

8:42 am

that's normally why I like it :P but with snow, I'm not so sure!

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

movieman, ry4 and 5

8:43 am

raelite

just make sure the person developping your pics knows how to use the density and magenta

8:43 am

smooth_pappa

ugh... ata... snow is difficult! The brand isn't going to be your biggest consideration, though... I personally love Fuji myself, but with snow... it's a lot more about technique than the gear... hold on... let me get some snow technique for you

last time I ended up taking so many variations in exposure, I ended up using one film per photograph pretty much! I do *not* want to do quite so much range this time!

8:48 am

Atalante

we're going to the Italian Alps

8:48 am

good morning

8:58 am

so when you get your photos, check them right there and then have the processor change them right away...too much blue means it likely needs more yellow and some density

there are ty 4/6's

8:58 am

just missing 1 t now, one t4.......

my t4's: te4/4, te4/5, ti4/4, ti4/5, ti4/4, ti4/4, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, to4/4, to4/4, to4/6, tr4/4, tr4/4, tr4/6, ty4/6......

iter is a word, isn't it?

9:12 am

Anniebrook

jane, it is when I am doing crossword puzzles

9:13 am

bichon

iter is a word, as well as spam, but not in this game

9:13 am

harpjane

me too annie, oh well.

9:13 am

bichon

an iter is a passageway in the brain

9:13 am

Atalante

does it have the same root as iteration?

9:14 am

AMN

Thank you, the word I keep entering is not accepted even though it checks out in the A-Z

9:15 am

harpjane

I don't think so, Atalante. The crossword clue for iter is usually "roman road"

9:15 am

bichon

I don't think it's related to iteration

9:24 am

hurshy

metaleather

hi Haz.

11:33 am

metaleather

oh torgone, I didn't know you were ill. I'm sorry to hear that.

11:33 am

Haz1558

Colds are annoying. You feel like dying but you know you won't.

11:34 am

Haz1558

Hello metal - you must be on a different shift at the minute?

11:34 am

Hi everyone....I can't find this handy dandy tip for Angelsong either..

11:34 am

torgone

Not really sick .. I think I'm just alergic to going back to work ..

11:34 am

metaleather

sort of... my back started to hurt and I couldn't get comfortable in the bed. when that happens sitting is more my speed for a while.

11:35 am

Haz1558

I know the feeling, torgone - I've been on maternity leave for 23 years.

11:36 am

broony

ketchup is good at disguisingthe taste of none too fresh bread and ham, metal! Plus it tastes good on almost anything!

11:36 am

Haz1558

A huring back is no fun, metal - hope it eases.

11:36 am

Haz1558

hurting back.....

11:36 am

chic

LOL Haz!

11:37 am

raelite

re 6.18 please?

11:37 am

Haz1558

But will ketchup kill the bacteria in the unfresh ham?

11:37 am

metaleather

it's beginning to Haz, ty

11:38 am

Haz1558

That's good metal.

11:40 am

broony

ketchup kills 99% of all bacteria in unfresh ham, Haz. No, wait - that's domestos isn't it!

11:40 am

Atalante

either domestos or marmite

11:40 am

raelite

gots it, thanks

11:40 am

metaleather

ok, another new UK word... domestos?

11:40 am

Haz1558

Domestos may kill you along with the bacteria!

11:40 am

lshult

11:40 am

Atalante

bleach :)

11:40 am

broony

Does marmite not kill Domestos?

11:41 am

Haz1558

Domestos - well known brand of bleach. The ad claims to kill 99% of all know germs. DEAD!

11:41 am

I am back for my last 10 words, since husband filled in some blanks while I was shopping/ They are all s and t

ohhhh, like Lysol disinfectant spray here in the US

11:42 am

Atalante

yup :)

11:42 am

Frances

I love Marmite but discovered that if (I want the dog to behave I just have to show him the open jar. In fact, I now just have to say the word Marmite! You either love it of hate it.

11:43 am

Evening all........

11:43 am

Haz1558

Have you found a similar product for husbands/significant others, Frances? There'd be a ready market.....

11:43 am

broony

Marmite didn't kill Tom o'Connor (loveable gap toothed scouse sprite and raconteur!) in those awful 80's adverts on TV - pity!

11:43 am

Atalante

marmite often works there too

11:44 am

Frances

Yes I thouight that Haz. It is really amazing the effect it has on the dog. He runs to bed!

11:45 am

Haz1558

Has he ever tasted it?

11:45 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, caitlyn

11:46 am

caitlyn

Hello Babblerabble

11:46 am

Frances

Haz perhaps your husband should suggest it for naughty pets. I find when dog keeps stealing things to get attention - one whiff of the Marmite and he stops when all else fails.

11:47 am

Haz1558

I'll have to let him know about this. I should get a jar for research sake and try it out on Spangle!

11:47 am

Atalante

and me with Hobbit!

11:48 am

Frances

LOL. You must let me know.

11:49 am

Haz1558

Marmite the mutt-master. A working title.

stidmama

yay for hubby!

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Congrats inge!!

12:01 pm

inge

Haz, does marmite smell of bleach or what?

12:02 pm

stidmama

(i like marmite) It smells of all the minerals in it...

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Do you know, inge, I have never tasted it, although I think it has a malty taste/smell. So I'm pretty sure it doesn't smell of bleach.

12:03 pm

inge

It is a cleaning agent, right? Where do you get it stid?

12:03 pm

Frances

I heard recently that Marmite was originally what was left in the barrell after the brewing process of beer.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

No, domestos is the cleaning agent, marmite is a food product.

12:03 pm

stidmama

NO! marmite is a yeast-based extract for soups and such! LOL

12:03 pm

caitlyn

I also like twiglets...a snack that is covered in marmite!!

12:03 pm

Atalante

marmite tastes of salt and malt. is weird

12:03 pm

raelite

so do you just eat marmite plain on toast? or do you have it with jam?

12:04 pm

stidmama

I like marmite plain on toast, or a spoon to make a broth. It would not be good with jam. Much to "savory"

12:04 pm

raelite

marmite is similar to miso...

12:04 pm

Frances

Marmite on toast

12:04 pm

Haz1558

I've never heard of it being combined with jam - most people just have it plain on toast.

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Just on toast rae its also good on grilled cheese on toast

12:04 pm

Denny

bleurch! hi everybody!

12:04 pm

stidmama

except miso is soy-based and marmite is grain-based, I think.

12:04 pm

stidmama

hi denny.

12:04 pm

raelite

I knew it was savory....just didn't know how much (peanut butter vs tahini) sort of thing

12:05 pm

caitlyn

Hi Denny

12:05 pm

Denny

is miso like vegemite then?

12:05 pm

inge

do they sell it in the US, stid? I can hop over to Canada if necessary

12:05 pm

raelite

miso is fermented soy beans

12:05 pm

Frances

Very savoury

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Don't go to Canada just to buy Marmite!

12:05 pm

Denny

i'm one of those hate it people!

12:05 pm

stidmama

I get it at World Market, though I have seen it elsewhere recently, inge --

12:06 pm

raelite

yeah come to visit me :)

12:06 pm

caitlyn

Im a love it person!!!

12:06 pm

Denny

only one in my family tho' everyone else loves it

12:06 pm

stidmama

no, it would not be worth it just for marmite, but marmite and to see babblers... that would be worth it!

12:06 pm

inge

OK we have World Markets here

12:06 pm

raelite

have you tried smoked paprika??

12:06 pm

Denny

12:14 pm

caitlyn

Denny that was a dumb thing to say..of course they are growing!! I meant to say they seem to be growing quickly..lovely looking children

12:15 pm

Laura is 7 months now and really trying to crawl - got the backward slide thing going really well!! Thank you, they are beautiful, but I would say that!

12:16 pm

I'm missing an o from the left - have three that have to do with rowing; is there another alnog that line?

12:17 pm

Siouxz

Shot in the dark here but has anyone heard from the young lady with 5 kids that was trying to get home to Canada? This was right at Xmas time.

12:17 pm

there is os 4/4 . just go down from the o

12:17 pm

caitlyn

K.Elisabet you are missing an os4/4

12:18 pm

she has only three, Siouxz, all girls. Her name is Kate, and she is still in England. No recent word that I know of

12:18 pm

caitlyn

I dont know about it Siouxx..Is she a babbler?

12:19 pm

caitlyn

Now I know who you mean

12:19 pm

K.Elisabet

thanks - got it! Just looked at the definition, it's another word for esker. Like I know what that is!

12:19 pm

inge

her icon name is kthdn (Kate Hudson)

12:19 pm

Siouxz

Thanx inge. sorry about being fuzzy on the details. I haven't seen any posts lately either. I sure pray she's okay.

12:20 pm

caitlyn

Did she break up with her husband?

12:20 pm

inge

She still doesn,t have the money for her plane tickets. Yes, he has left her for another gal

12:22 pm

caitlyn

I was talking to her for a long time when she couldnt find him after his disapearance after work! on a Sunday morning..poor poor girl

12:22 pm

Siouxz

What lousy timing! Mmm, won't go down that road!!

12:23 pm

inge

and it turned out he spent the night with the other women!!!

12:23 pm

*woman! made it sound worse than it is

12:23 pm

Siouxz

PIG! (ooops)

12:23 pm

I am sure she is okay, inge. She is a resourceful young woman, and has had some good advice from people in the log at least.

12:25 pm

caitlyn

Siouxx that was very mild.LOL!!

Siouxz

Restraint is the resolution for the new year!

12:26 pm

stidmama

I am refraining from using all the lovely, genteel expressions I used when I was in the Navy to describe kate's situation... but I think it's abysmally dismal.

12:26 pm

K.Elisabet

She sounded very down last time I saw her post - pinning all her hopes on something that was unlikely to happen. I hope she is busy getting a plan B in place now...

12:26 pm

raelite

I agree with you , stid...seems a little SNAFU

12:27 pm

caitlyn

stid it cant be as bad as the thoughts i have in my mind right now

12:27 pm

raelite

I feel for her and her plight but sometimes you just have to step back and re evaluate.

12:28 pm

stidmama

(especailly the FU bit, rae?) well -- we can always hope she has some especially difficult to cure contagious disease... after all, "he" is not doing this alone!

12:29 pm

raelite

lol...that's true stid....I hope she doesn't give up on her wish and that it comes true for her

12:29 pm

stidmama

and I agree rae, this may be an opportunity in disguise, a chance for kate to improve her life in ways she didn't think she could.

ok... I worked a seasonal job a few years back... in a bakery which ships fruitcakes all over the world. they start in early august with small production and some international shipping and gradually get to breakneck pace in production and shipping all the way up to Christmas/New Year's... then drop back down keeping only a few in the order dept. and a few extra in production until they gear up in Feb. for the Easter production.

1 clue Q 6/27 farthest known object in the universe, 2 q 4/8 rhymes with codm=, q 5/18 plural of previous

6:14 pm

Katydid0615

ok, some of the words will be really weird to you. But some of them should be pretty easy. Sometimes you can just sort of type in a bunch of letters that connect and get words. Once you find a word, look to see if you can put an "s" on it, or an "er" or an "ier" to make it longer. Start with the 4 letters and then work up. If you need help, then ask.

6:14 pm

Kazzer99

Oops should be cod - typing is degenerating again

6:15 pm

Katydid0615

even a lot of 3 letter words (like the one Kazzar just said) is in the grid with a plural after them.

6:16 pm

monkey girl

i definetly need help

6:16 pm

monkey girl

my oldr sis wants to kno if soarani is a word in da dic..

6:17 pm

Kazzer99

NO

6:17 pm

Katydid0615

you can also watch the clues other people are giving and try to figure it out. If you can't understand a clue, you can go to the bottom of the page to Angelsong's and then get a reverse dictionary where you type in the definition and it gives you possible answers.

6:17 pm

Kazzer99

But you can get 2 4 letter word if you split and use middle letter twice

6:18 pm

Katydid0615

Once you get a word, then if you click on the question mark next to it in the word list, you can get the definition for what it means, and then it will help you remember it.

6:20 pm

monkey girl

ok

6:20 pm

6:21 pm

monkey girl

hello mousey

6:21 pm

Katydid0615

did you get those two words from that split word? If so, one of them can be made plural by adding an "s". That will give you three more words total.

7:24 pm

Katydid0615

one more before I have to go monkey girl. fr5/18 = what you find on the top of your root beer float (ends in h). Then plural for a 6/30, and change the plural to the sometimes vowel for a 6/36.

7:24 pm

Katydid0615

eyeman, total points on this puzzle is 1576.

7:25 pm

Eyeman

Really??? Holy Cow!

7:25 pm

Jacula

Average is about 2,500 points, I guess.

7:25 pm

Katydid0615

it's not really that hard when you start adding up the points for the words. The bigger the word, the more the points.
