12:21 am

marpocky

cherrier ought to be a word

12:21 am

kierlex

I'm still looking for the second ch 8. My internet connection is sooooo bad ... due to a cable break off Taiwan, I hear.

12:27 am

72 Temple Owl

12:27 am

I want a word ending in 'izles'. Is that possible?

12:27 am

kierlex

12:28 am

kierlex

has anyone used Z in a word?

12:28 am

maniac_mitch

er8

12:28 am

DRBERNABO

well, it sounds like it is iron related, but it is not really

12:29 am

DRBERNABO

it is actually something you find in churches (well, really old churches I would think)

12:30 am

kierlex

does the 10 start with F? I missed that if anyone said it

12:30 am

DRBERNABO

yes, it starts with F

12:31 am

kierlex

what does it rhyme with? LOL

12:31 am

jillibus

drB, see my icon :D

12:32 am

DRBERNABO

cryptic clue: it sounds like transporting lots of British loyalists across a river

12:33 am

vedaman

12:33 am

helenkeller

12:33 am

marpocky

12:34 am

chic

12:34 am

kierlex

12:34 am

DRBERNABO

12:34 am

MayneGuy

I'm with you kierlex - these clues are leaving me clueless :)

12:35 am

helenkeller

chic - cool icon!

12:35 am

DRBERNABO

12:35 am

72 Temple Owl

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

GreyWoulf

He was at the ER being checked out due to not keeping his food down today, TO

12:36 am

DRBERNABO

yw

12:36 am

GreyWoulf

It turns out it was just a bout of gastroenteritis

12:36 am

72 Temple Owl

oh poor little guy..

12:37 am

debbinla

hope he starts feeling better grey

12:37 am

jillibus

poor little guy -- did they give you something to soothe his tum?

12:37 am

helenkeller

ooooh, glad he's okay

12:37 am

DRBERNABO

ooh, I grayed a letter!

12:37 am

GreyWoulf

But the Dr expressed to Kirsten his gratitude that we were so attentive to Seb and his needs that we brought him in BEFORE he became dehydrated

12:37 am

ARB

thank you DrB -- took me a while, but your various clues shoved me along

12:37 am

kierlex

well that is good news GreyWoulf... glad it's nothing serious. my son had an intestinal blockage last year. what a mess =)

12:38 am

DRBERNABO

anything I can do to help

12:38 am

jillibus

I think I have SOMEof the 10 but can't figure out the last bit

12:38 am

kkiln

DR -- your second clue about the receptacle helped....I googled it and found the word!

12:39 am

72 Temple Owl

jili think lands

12:39 am

DRBERNABO

there are many roads that lead to the fe 10/91

12:39 am

marpocky

perhaps in the northwest...

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

dumb question... how do you google a definition?

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

jilli -- they really didn't have anything they could give him, but they did give us some pedialyte -- but at least we have confirmed that there was nothing more serious going on

12:40 am

DRBERNABO

just type in the definition and see what comes up

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

ty vm didn't know I could do that!!!

12:41 am

DRBERNABO

I type sentneces from student papers to see if they are plagarizing and google works great for that (but not in a good way)

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

yipppeee learned something new & found the word ty dr!

12:41 am

ARB

I have 5 8's ch X2, fe, or, sl. Does anyone have another?

12:41 am

riemann

12:42 am

72 Temple Owl

dr. b what do you teach?

12:42 am

DRBERNABO

Classical Greek & Roman Mythology and Introduction to Popular Culture

12:42 am

kierlex

oh for godsakes i can't even find it with google. boooo hooo

12:42 am

72 Temple Owl

and good god - if a sentenc is used it's not plagiarizing if you cite the source is it?

12:43 am

DRBERNABO

not if you site the source

12:43 am

DRBERNABO

but students like to cut and paste things without attribution

12:43 am

72 Temple Owl

actually kier, dr b told us all the word while you weere on potty break

12:43 am

ARB

cite and site?

12:43 am

kierlex

12:43 am

helenkeller

the history of popular culture in the 20th century was my first college class - 300 seat auditorium, packed & he started off with a cartoon of the 3 little pigs from the 1930's!!!

12:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i am beginning a paper and it's on my mind

12:43 am

72 Temple Owl

12:44 am

maniac_mitch

12:45 am

72 Temple Owl

12:45 am

helenkeller

12:45 am

kierlex

ahhh... sorry. i am bit out of it tnite. as usual!

12:47 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds cool, helen...

12:48 am

helenkeller

to - yep, fond memories, i think everyone in the entire school took that course - i've seen that prof (macdonald) on pbs shows here too

12:48 am

DRBERNABO

the 10 is a compound word (i.e., it breaks into two other words in the grid)

12:48 am

72 Temple Owl

ok - off to bed with 59 for tomorrow. happy babbling everyone!

12:48 am

jillibus

12:48 am

jillibus

night helen

12:50 am

jillibus

TO -- look at flosey's icon

12:50 am

cybernan

giving up on the 10 -- all I can think of for the clue is reliquary

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

g'night to those that are leaving

12:50 am

kierlex

i am so confused about this dang 10!! what is a british loyalist???

12:50 am

helenkeller

no flosey - not at all amazing - there are word racers out there that can find that many words in a grid this size in under 2 minutes (well, on easier grids than this one)

12:51 am

kierlex

yes, helen, but they are freaks.

12:51 am

helenkeller

a person on tangleword with a super high rating said the other night that they type 130 words per minute

12:51 am

cybernan

I'm assuming it is a United Empire Loyalist, but that isn't getting me anywhere!

12:51 am

DRBERNABO

British loyalist during the American Revolution or a conservative Brit today

12:51 am

helenkeller

LOL kier - yes, i agree, total freaks!

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

finally got the 10

12:52 am

Dippnall

forget the Brit loyalist - that's questionable - go for the reliquary and pluralise

12:52 am

maniac_mitch

who was it helen?

12:52 am

jillibus

yes, that's what I thought, DrB -- not what nan said because hers is a Canadian term

12:52 am

MayneGuy

Or Conservative (capital C) in Canada

12:53 am

MayneGuy

As in Sir John A

12:53 am

helenkeller

i don't remember, i don't pay that much attention, but their ranking was in the high 3000's

12:53 am

DRBERNABO

I'm not sure how universal the term is today in terms of usage, and I immediate thought of boats going back and forth across the Charles River during the Revolution (but that is just me)

12:53 am

lynxxx

BBL falling asleep

12:53 am

MayneGuy

There were the Whigs and the **********

12:53 am

helenkeller

12:54 am

maniac_mitch

lol

12:54 am

helenkeller

i don't type period, that's why i'll never get over 2000, hah

12:54 am

GreyWoulf

LOL, Temple -- I do the same -- will fall asleep at the keyboard or on the couch, then when I decide to move to the bed, the act of moving wakes me up!

12:55 am

jillibus

Is the beginning of the 10 the kind of thing we ride on fro get from Vancouver to Vancouver Island?

12:55 am

maniac_mitch

lol, haven't played in a while - should go show mr 130wpm how to play :P

12:55 am

maniac_mitch

phantom - rhetoric

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

12:55 am

MayneGuy

Yes jilli minus one R then add Sir John A plural

12:55 am

72 Temple Owl

3:28 am

sprite

yeah, found another 8 at last.

3:28 am

sprite

enjoy, oboe

3:28 am

spanner

Yup...thats the last time i invite someone for the weekend...LOL

3:28 am

sprite

bye julie

3:29 am

sprite

is she any better behaving towards you now, spanner?

3:30 am

spanner

The new tablets have helped to be honest...at least shes stopped spitting at me LOL

3:30 am

kangabrat

good grief!

3:30 am

FranMag

LOL spanner!

3:30 am

sprite

argh! LOL, sounds like a big improvement!

3:31 am

spanner

It is, and I have now had her diagnosed properly, so at least i know what im dealing with

3:31 am

sprite

I think you have the most loving heart to take care of her anyway. It is not easy.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I agree with sprite.

3:32 am

spanner

No sprite not at all. I am a martyr and my lovely hubby buys me yummy pressies for being one. LOL

3:32 am

sprite

that is good! He should appreciate what you are doing every minute :D

3:33 am

spanner

He has to I give him little choice

3:33 am

sprite

good!

3:34 am

spanner

I have also called a family meeting for 28 Jan in a conference room at a hotel, so that we can sort out long term care as I think that i am being dumped on a bit...the others never even visit anymore

3:34 am

FranMag

good for you spanner.

3:35 am

sprite

that is such common behaviour. As soon as someone starts taking care, all the rest of the family sighs relieved and goes on with their own lives. That meeting is very good thinking.

3:36 am

spanner

Mind you at the last meeting I was told to 'mind my own business' LOl Hubby now says I am no longer an inlaw. I am an outlaw!!!

3:36 am

sprite

LOL

oh lordy. *smacks head* got the he7 finally, missed your clue fran.

4:02 am

Haz1558

Kazzer - if you have fe4/7 (homonym for being afraid, add the conservative party members)

4:02 am

Yoink

Kazzer, it's a compound word made up of a f4 and a t6

4:03 am

kangabrat

thanks haz and yoink!

4:03 am

Kazzer99

thanx anyone know what it means?

4:03 am

FranMag

thanks haz and yoink!

4:04 am

Yoink

receptacles for holding the ashes of a saint apparently

4:04 am

Haz1558

If you click on the ? beside the word it gives a definition - though not always.

4:04 am

kangabrat

or the part of a church they're kept in...

4:04 am

Kazzer99

thats what I love about babble you learn something new everyday and a day you learn somethinf new is a good day

4:06 am

sprite

if the ? does not give a def, www.infoplease.com is a nice site.

4:06 am

Haz1558

We're going to learn some new words with this grid, that's for sure.

4:07 am

Kazzer99

thanks sprite

4:07 am

Yoink

Phantom: heron

4:08 am

Kazzer99

I've managed to find 89 since 915 this morning - the grid is quite nice for experimenting in edgy english

4:08 am

Yoink

I'm on 89 too Kazzer, maybe that's the real total

4:08 am

sprite

just drop a letter, Yoink

4:08 am

4:13 am

kthdsn

hey yoink

4:13 am

sprite

I trust kanga. There are 114 words.

4:14 am

Haz1558

I have 112 but some are not words, they are collections of letters.

4:14 am

kangabrat

... 119 ... (running out of puff)

4:14 am

FranMag

i can personally vouch for 102 so far.

4:15 am

spellit

I find it amazing that there are 140 words here!

4:15 am

FranMag

go kanga!

4:15 am

FranMag

of course something is wrong when you get to 98 and just then find tr4/4

4:15 am

FranMag

hi spellit!

4:16 am

kangabrat

thanks for the encouragement fran!

4:16 am

Angb

Just updated my icon. Odd wee grid isn't it. Back into it then

4:16 am

spellit

Hi all - I have been concentrating hard here

4:16 am

FranMag

cool angb!

4:17 am

Angb

Thought you might like the similarities - Maui and all that Fran

4:18 am

Yoink

Hi spellit

4:18 am

FranMag

you know i don't know that whole legend, something i should look up soon though.

4:19 am

kthdsn

does anyone have the E from the left, I can't make it work

4:19 am

sprite

hi spellit

4:19 am

FranMag

all i know is he's called "hawaiian superman"

4:19 am

kthdsn

and wow I just noticed that there's a 10 in there, not sure I believe it though lol

4:19 am

sprite

kate: anything E4 I can help you with?

4:19 am

spellit

Hi Sprite, Fran and all

4:19 am

Angb

Not in NZ ... do you have a Maui legend too?

4:20 am

kthdsn

ty sprite

4:20 am

FranMag

yes, Maui is a hawaiian legend, a strongman apparently

4:20 am

spellit

The 10 is OK if you know your church history

4:21 am

Yoink

another phantom: heretic

4:22 am

kthdsn

I know nothing about church history lol not really my thing

4:22 am

FranMag

angb, just looked it up, something about him lassoing the sun and making it go slower across the sky.

4:22 am

FranMag

kate, i love alice cooper, we listen to his radio show

4:22 am

sprite

now there is a guy I could learn to love! He is making days longer?

4:22 am

Angb

Gee these Maui's can harness the cosmos - pulling up islands and lassooing the sun

4:23 am

kthdsn

fran I didn't know he had a radio show, I have all his music though

4:23 am

FranMag

it's gotta be the same Maui

4:24 am

FranMag

it's a cool show kate, i think they have a website, haven't looked it up yet though.

4:24 am

Angb

I thought Alice Cooper would have passed on to the big music hall in the sky by now

4:25 am

kthdsn

no he's still making records and touring angb

4:25 am

Angb

LOL how did he survive?

4:26 am

FranMag

apparently angb, the legends of maui are part of the evidence that the Maoris indeed came from Polynesia.

4:26 am

Yoink

Kate, he's on Planet Rock over here. You can get it on digital or online probably

4:26 am

FranMag

angb, i think it's because he golfs

4:26 am

kthdsn

oh cool I'll look it up then

4:27 am

kthdsn

I think my auntie has played golf with him, she also used to live next door to him, although their houses were miles away from each other lol

4:27 am

FranMag

you know, left the rock star lifestyle for a more sedate existence, golfing, radio show, a few concerts here and there.

4:27 am

spellit

Off for coffee - see you later

4:27 am

Angb

Probably enough about Maui but one last question. Where do the "scientists" say Hawaiian Polynesians come from ... there is some hint now about China down here

4:28 am

FranMag

i always thought it was around where malaysia is angb.

4:28 am

FranMag

later spellit!

4:28 am

Angb

So he doesn't fall out of coconut trees like Keith Richards then ... a real headline in NZ last April

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babblers. It appears that Dr God got a special deal on E's and R's.

5:37 am

Haz1558

or, plus the french infinitive for 'to laugh', but switch the vowels around, then give the plural ending to a word whose singular ending y

5:37 am

Haz1558

There are two ch8 words.

5:38 am

Levia

ok, I dont understand the cake layer bit

5:38 am

Haz1558

It's also a word used for seating when arranged on a slope.

kthdsn

5:40 am

Eva

the long er has me stumped

5:40 am

Haz1558

If you've got the first part, rearrange the letters of the word that can to fatigue, or what goes on car wheels.

Eva

5:43 am

Haz1558

fe10 - a combination word. Use the fe4/7 that looks and sounds like a word for being afraid, but spelt differently and to it add British conservative party members. Or the end of a plural vi word meaning triumphs.

5:44 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure,Eva, but glad you've got there!

6:08 am

sugar

hello again, back for a clue for fe8/55, please

6:09 am

Haz1558

fe8/55 - plural of fe7/40 relating to iron. The word ends ceremonially.

6:10 am

sugar

tx haz, will ponder!

6:10 am

KatieMcG

haz, i'm being really thick could you please clue fe 7/40 :-)

6:11 am

Jacula

I've got 2 x fe7/40.

6:12 am

sugar

got it, tx haz!

6:12 am

KatieMcG

Now I know I'm being really thick, I have actually got both of them, sorry :-)

6:12 am

Haz1558

fe7/40 can either be plural of the Mersy crosser, or fe, consonant, then a word that sounds like the opposite of wrong, but which means a ceremony

6:12 am

Haz1558

Mersey*

6:13 am

Haz1558

No problem, Katie!

6:13 am

Jacula

I was thinking of Bryan from Roxy Music but now I'm hearing that Gerry & The Pacemakers song. AARGH! It'll stick in my head all day!

6:14 am

Haz1558

Sorry!

6:14 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

6:16 am

Haz1558

ci5/12 - ends in a vowel and has a double helping of a consonant in the middle

6:16 am

Jacula

I've made a model of you, Haz., and I'm sticking pins into the fingers. LOL.

6:17 am

Haz1558

That explains it!

6:17 am

Jacula

Yup!

6:17 am

KatieMcG

Ok the clue I was given early is think cherry in a new zealand accent :-)

6:18 am

sugar

tx haz, monkeys are slipping!

6:18 am

Haz1558

An alternative would be, badly spelt Knight, then the beginning of the paddy field produce.

6:18 am

Jacula

katie - you gave me a ch6/24 with that clue. Thanks.

6:18 am

KatieMcG

Actually that's the wrong word that is for the ch 6/24 sorry, but it is quite similar

6:19 am

KatieMcG

I really do need to get more sleep ;-)

6:19 am

the s6 is a se6/24 which sounds german

12:27 pm

marpocky

Congrats Inge2!

3:02 pm

bunnyvicious

ch1212, wouldn't the third he 7 be spelt with an a if it were a man's name, like Mr. Potter? Or can it be spelt with an e too?

3:02 pm

hurshy

it's the first he7 that's a man's name

3:02 pm

ch1212

Well, that's why I said 'alt. spelling' because I've seen it both ways, but I'm used to the A one, like Prince and Mr. P

3:03 pm

hurshy

oh, you've seen it with an e? wow

3:03 pm

hurshy

never heard of that

3:03 pm

ch1212

Prince being the young redheaded cutie currently in line on the other side of the pond

3:03 pm

OK, just wondering :)

Hurrah for bunny!! Whee!!!

3:10 pm

ch1212

We're still waiting in New England. My husband and I have decided that people here have been hiding the truth -- they give stock video footage of horrible winters to the networks just to keep people from moving here ... it's really quite balmy :D

3:10 pm

dspike

3:10 pm

bunnyvicious

3:12 pm

3:12 pm

bunnyvicious

Hmmm, guess we aren't in the same weather pattern huh? See ya'll tomorrow.

3:13 pm

ch1212

are you? For some reason I had you in Texas. Mmmm.... and SURE it's a typical winter :) Nah, we're sticking with the conspiracy theory :D

3:13 pm

hurshy

i've lived in new england all my life... and i'm kind of scared of texas...

3:16 pm

ch1212

Can't blame you there :). Gosh, I'm truly surprised. I really had you placed mentally in Texas, in a small town near the Mexican border. Now I'm laughing!

3:16 pm

hurshy

hmm, i wonder what gave you that idea?

3:16 pm

ch1212

Tell me you at least teach math... or is that wrong too?

3:17 pm

hurshy

yes, well, i tutor - taught two classes last year, then went back to tutoring cause i didn't like the classroom discipline aspect of things

3:18 pm

hurshy

but math, yes

3:18 pm

Change of Pace

Hurshy...what is scary about texas??? I am thinking of moving there in 08.

3:19 pm

ch1212

oh good, at least I recalled one thing correctly. Sometimes our various life details get mixed up when we're all chatting away. I no doubt have you confused with another smart, savy Babbler who does live in Texas. Now I'm off to start dinner early -- bye all - happy hunting!

3:20 pm

hurshy

i can't say... i'll offend people

3:20 pm

Change of Pace

okay...sorry. I am generally so matter of fact that I usually offend people and don't recognize it till someone tells me.

3:21 pm

My daughter is moving to texas this year and is planning on being hapai perhaps later this year. i was thinking of being grammies there and helping out. Hi mkl.

3:23 pm

she sells s*****lls by the s****ore, spelt very very wrong

3:23 pm

hurshy

hapai... is pregnant?

3:24 pm

Change of Pace

yes. pregnant...coming from germany after 6 year stint there. I am excited.

3:24 pm

Thanks. Don't feel so bad now. I never would have found that on my own

3:24 pm

hurshy

is she in the military?

3:24 pm

dspike

tough clue hursh but i got it - thx

3:25 pm

Change of Pace

She and her hubby are. He was awarded a silver star for his bravery recently. it was hard for her to hear the happenings and i was shocked. he was in Iraq

3:25 pm

hurshy

it's a hard word to clue :)

3:25 pm

hurshy

wow. well at least he made it out alive...

3:25 pm

Siouxz

COP, come on to TX, hardly anyone rides horses down the streets anymore and nearly everyone has indoor plumbing!

3:25 pm

mkl

Oh and Hurshy. Before we settled in Alaska we literally travelled all around the country. Stayed about three months in each place. The only state we weren't in was Michigan. People are just about the same everywhere you go. Not politically, but in the way they live

3:25 pm

Change of Pace

Yes, he did. I am grateful.

3:26 pm

mkl

Also, if you're ever in another part of the country and feel homesick go to Wal-Mart. They're the same everywhere. :-)

3:26 pm

hurshy

well... but... texas is so... BIG

3:26 pm

mkl

It's less than half the size of Alaska

3:27 pm

hurshy

i'm used to states that are only a few hours long at most.

3:27 pm

Siouxz

Gotta be, gotta have room for all that love!

3:27 pm

Change of Pace

I understand the misconceptions from people, but I love horses, just can't ride them : ]

3:27 pm

mkl

Yep. It took a little getting used to in New England. I was raised out west.

3:28 pm

Change of Pace

For sure about Walmart we have at least three here, and the outer islands are still waiting

3:28 pm

hurshy

i would certainly not mind horses. but i do think that there are sort of regional differences - we new englanders are more... reserved. and since i'm used to that, i kind of like it that way.

3:28 pm

mkl

ch7 please?

3:28 pm

hurshy

more ch5/20

3:28 pm

Siouxz

Let me know when you get here COP and if the timing is right, I'll get you tickets to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!

3:28 pm

Change of Pace

What sort of reservations do New Englanders have?

3:29 pm

Siouxz

Oh Hursh, life is too short!

3:29 pm

mkl

Reserved is a nice way to put it. My brother-in-law is from just outside of Boston. He's definately***reserved

3:29 pm

hurshy

we're less friendly and open, it takes longer to build friendships

3:29 pm

mkl

Don't have that ch5 yet either

3:30 pm

Siouxz

and yet here you are!

3:30 pm

Change of Pace

Here we have that, but for the most part people are friendly and will even invite you in just because.

3:30 pm

mkl

nm just found it. Thanks

3:30 pm

hurshy

sometimes when i interact with people who are not so reserved, i feel that they are being rude, but it's really just a cultural difference

3:30 pm

hurshy

well, i think everyone is less inhibited on the internet

3:31 pm

Change of Pace

I think true friendship takes time to build anywhere.

3:31 pm

hurshy

yes, i'm sure that's true

3:31 pm

FranMag

hi everyone!

Yep. The internet is like being in a car. You can give people the bird and drive off

7:55 pm

helenkeller

yes - they put on a good show - not particularily my kinda music - a little to 'hard rocky' for me, even though they are not a that kind of band - i mostly saw them so many times cause my sister used to live in NO & knew someone in that band - so whenever i'd visit, we would see them, but again, i don't remember who that was - they have been around a really, really long time - & that's always a good sign :)

LoriP

Ack! Sorry

8:10 pm

Jacula

Hmm - correct. Now try the grid box.:)

8:10 pm

I am new too, jmsmo93. Perhaps you might want to start by looking at the Help at the top of the page; then go to the bottom and and look at angelsong's cite; from there to lickity's babbleclues. Welcome and good luck!

8:13 pm

Jacula

Merk - the 10 word is fe10/91 and is the place where saints' remains are stored.

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:13 pm

Jacula

TO - That's the usual word for it, yes.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

it helps if you have the fe4.7 which means a companion or spouse

8:16 pm

Jacula

Merk - it's in general section.

8:16 pm

Merk

fe = storing remains of saints. Is there any other clue about that one?

8:18 pm

LoriP

Holy cow! I got it. Betetr late than never. (note to self, purchade hair dye, STAT!) Thank ye all.

8:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:18 pm

Jacula

fe10 = fe4/7 (sounds like you're scared) + Maggie Thatcher's people.

8:18 pm

lbdawger

Merk, try finding the fe4.7 first, it means companion or spouse, it looks like a french spelling of brother.

8:18 pm

8:19 pm

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

FranMag

i watched the munsters more than the other show (which i can't think of right now)

8:57 pm

Jacula

Fran - No, that news hasn't filtered over to UK yet. Shame! I used to love that show.

8:57 pm

relarion

Hi Relarion!

LoriP

G'd evening relarion

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

Ping

clues for th er words? all i have so far is mistake

8:58 pm

Jacula

Hi relarion.

8:58 pm

lbdawger

I liked both those shows. lots of silly quirky characters.

70 words done & 70 words to go & just started about 5 10 min ago!

8:59 pm

lbdawger

FranMag

9:00 pm

Jacula

LoriP

The ro 7 please?

9:01 pm

Jacula

Fran - re the 'er' words - have you been giving me a bad reputation whilst my daughter has been wounding me??

9:01 pm

FranMag

maybe she's going to do a farrah fawcett flip.

9:01 pm

lbdawger

welp, must go, criminal minds is on, and hubby is hollering for me. night everyone see you tomorrow

9:01 pm

FranMag

lori, more like the part of a tree that's underground

9:01 pm

shmoozanne

first fo6/27 anyone?

9:02 pm

FranMag

no jac, i just said that you clued those for me last night and you were very quick.

9:02 pm

FranMag

shmooz, fo6, "enemy" + "small hill"

9:02 pm

Jacula

lbd - that read really badly, 'criminal minds is on and husban is hollering for me'. Are you two set to become the new Bonnie & Clyde?

9:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

back after hearing tonight's news...felt compelled to change my icon

9:04 pm

FranMag

brb, have to get the kids a snack

9:04 pm

LoriP

Thank ye for the ro 7.

9:06 pm

helenkeller

i absolutely have hated this grid for the last 30 words & i still have 30 to go :(

9:06 pm

Jacula

Oh heck, TO. What's happened now? More lads killed in Iraq?

9:06 pm

Jacula

Hell - what do you need?

9:07 pm

Jacula

Fran - I was only kidding!

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

of course...and more to come i'm afraid - time to resurrect the prayer chain for the men.

9:07 pm

helenkeller

I loved both the addams family & the munsters, but really wednesday & pugsly & cousin itt & gomez hand-kissing mortica up the arm - gotta love that

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh whho died?

9:07 pm

Jacula

Time to get oout of Iraq and leave them to it, more like.

9:08 pm

Jacula

I loved Cousin It's baby - all that hair with a dummy in the middle. ROFLOL.

9:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

jacs - can't do that it would be cruel to ssay the least. being responsible is cleaning up your messes. but having lived through viet nam this is t ough

9:09 pm

helenkeller

again, i gotta say it - i'm surprised some mom hasn't put a bullet in bush's head by now (or maybe she already has & no one's noticed it cause it's still ricocheting around in there)

9:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes are we talking addams family vs. munsters?

9:09 pm

helenkeller

yvonne de carlo died today

9:09 pm

FranMag

only kidding about what jac?

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh that's sad. most people know her only as lili but she was quite the beauty in her day

9:10 pm

helenkeller

I always thought she was beautiful as lily too :)

9:10 pm

Ping

i'm missing the fe 7/8 combo that follows the boats that carry you across the river

9:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

ping, i think you need the iron ore/s

9:11 pm

metaleather

Ping... think chemical compounds... containing iron

9:11 pm

Jacula

To - I was around when Vietnam was going on, too. Though just a youngster. Having read back, I think that is a war we should not,as Westerners, interfered with, also. But that's such a dodgey platform to talk to friends about, especially one from a different continent.

9:11 pm

Ping

thanks, TO and metal

9:12 pm

Ping

go them both

9:12 pm

Jacula

Hell - re the Bush bullet comment. LOL

9:12 pm

Jacula

Not that I advocate anyone being assassinated either.

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

jhacs, it is much eesier to discuss such things when history has put some perspective on them. one thing is sure: many problems were caused by fighting half-assed on both fronts. having been around for several assinations, i think helen you don't realize what you ar saying

9:13 pm

o2baflyndog

forgive me for making this my first comment of the evening, but I'm a new fan of assasination, myself.

9:13 pm

o2baflyndog

for about the last 6 years or so.

9:14 pm

o2baflyndog

hi all! =)

9:14 pm

helenkeller

the problem with war is no one wants to make the big commitment - face it, it's the leaders of the country's that make the "bad" policies, but we can't just take them out, that wouldn't be cricket, instead thousands of young people are brainwashed into sacrificing themselves

9:14 pm

FranMag

hey flyndog.

9:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok - i'm going. sorry if i started this. i really don't think you have any idea of what you are saying and i don'[t want any part of that conversation. how can you complain about lives being taken and advocate taking one purposefully? good night.

9:15 pm

helenkeller

sorry TO, i totally realize what i'm saying - basically the goal is to change the how things are done - but we have always approached it from the bottom up, instead of from the top down

9:15 pm

LoriP

The te 7 please?

9:16 pm

Jacula

Even Saddam's hanging (if it actually happened) caused me some consternation. Doesn't taking the Bible's 'an eye for an eye' etc, along with 'thou shalt not killl' make the retributers as bad as the murderers? I don't know! I just feel uncomfortable about executions. Sure, I'd want to kill someone who hurt one of my family... and the mob hangings that happen in places may well be the same things. I just feel uncomfortable about state approved taking of life.

9:16 pm

helenkeller

if you go into another country with rifles & ammunition, how can it NOT be your goal to purposefully take lives?

9:16 pm

o2baflyndog

whoops, guess I stepped in it right off the bat

9:16 pm

Enci

more te/6

9:16 pm

o2baflyndog

honestly, the world would be a better place without the man

9:17 pm

o2baflyndog

tho I don't want him to be remembered fondly as a martyr

9:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'm talking about your advocating removel vcia gun of the person this country voted into its highest office. he is not the preseident of those who voted for him; he is the president.

9:17 pm

helenkeller

let's see - if someone had just shot hitler, i know that at least 1/2 of my father's family would still be alive

9:18 pm

autumn moon

hi all. I don't think I will finish this grid but I want to start...

9:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't beleive you are kaming that comparison.that's truly awful.

9:18 pm

o2baflyndog

true, TO, and I do have a healthy amount of respect for his OFFICE. but he has done a tremendous amount of damage to that office, and to our country

9:18 pm

Enci

hi autumn moon

9:18 pm

helenkeller

oh TO - that IS 2 different things i was talking about

9:19 pm

jillibus

te7 -- more like a computer guru

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

so, the answer is shoot him?

9:19 pm

Jacula

To - sorry if we're upsetting you by discussing things here, but what Hell just said.... Do you know how many German Jews were 'tidied away' in WWII?

9:19 pm

LoriP

Oops, I meant te 7/28

9:19 pm

o2baflyndog

not really, but we can daydream

9:19 pm

jillibus

Some people are here for clues

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

what does that have to do with advocating killing hte president?

9:19 pm

helenkeller

1) I AM really surprsied a mother has not become enraged about pain/dismemberment/ death of a child/soldier

9:19 pm

autumn moon

hi Jilli

9:20 pm

autumn moon

is it snowing at your house?

9:20 pm

jillibus

ain't no te 7/28

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

soryy jili - i'lll go and leave you to your clues. good bye

9:20 pm

Babbler

hey guys, time out. : )

9:20 pm

FranMag

lori, plural of cloth used for towels

9:20 pm

FranMag

hi babs!

9:20 pm

Enci

I think the answer is to speak clearly and rationally against the killing in Iraq and to advocate for the engagement with other countries in the reigion in conversation and negotiation instead of name calling "axis of evil" cowboy BS

9:20 pm

jillibus

autumn -- it WAS snowing -- not now.

9:21 pm

Jacula

6,000,000 Jews killled in WWII. 160,000 German Jews.

9:21 pm

Babbler

hi Fran, hi everybody. I've been lurking for a few mins, after changing my icon. It's an uncomfortable topic, to be sure.

9:21 pm

autumn moon

still snowing here, Jill. My hubby is stuck in New westminster....can't get up any of the hills

9:21 pm

jillibus

TO, don't go -- I have to make supper -- it's just that the clue-asker was being ignored

9:21 pm

Enci

nice icon

9:21 pm

LoriP

Thank ye Fran.

9:21 pm

helenkeller

but the other thing i was talking about is how wars are fought in general - that the goal is to change things at the top, but we sacrifice (on both sides) thousands of young lives

9:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am well aware of that, jacs - having studies it for two semesters. but i don't understand what that has to do with iraq

9:21 pm

helenkeller

i wasn't comparing hitler to bush

9:22 pm

Jacula

TO - I never said anyone should kill te president! Quite th opposite.

9:23 pm

autumn moon

wouldn't you know...as soon as I sit down to work on this the furchild wants to go outside...bbl

9:23 pm

jillibus

autumn -- the snow stopped here this afternoon but now the deep freeze sets in so beware black ice. I'm lucky I can stay home!

9:23 pm

Jeff7

New book by Orson Scott Card called "Empire" just came out-worth checking out related to this discussion

9:23 pm

helenkeller

and all i said was that i am genuinely surprised no one has been outraged enough yet to try to hurt bush personally --- that's not an advocation, just an observation & comment on my part

9:23 pm

Jacula

Gosh! This reminds me of the debating club at senior school. Problem is, we can't see each other's faces and body language and so misunderstandings will (or may) abound.

9:23 pm

jillibus

And for the other conversation -- war is hell

9:23 pm

autumn moon

yeah, Jill...I will simply take the lazy way out and put her in the yard instead of a walk. bbl

9:23 pm

shmoozanne

te7/28 anyone?

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

no discussion here

9:24 pm

FranMag

shmooz, plural of cloth for towels.

9:24 pm

te 7/28 many towles

9:24 pm

helenkeller

yes jili - war IS hell - it should be avoided at ALL costs

9:24 pm

LoriP

The te 7 was just clued. (Thank ye again Fran)

9:25 pm

hillary

I don' t know what a towle is.

9:25 pm

FranMag

hk, that won't happen until women are in charge of the world, men have gone to war for centuries.

9:25 pm

Babbler

There is an art to war - Sun Tzu's famous book. He basically said to aim to resolve, and suggested lots of ways of doing it. War was only a very last resort, and even that had stages. I wonder if today's people at the top are at all familiar with it.

9:25 pm

jillibus

te7/28 (did I say there wasn't one? Sorry) -- Rhymes with one of the ch8/50s -- the fruity one

9:25 pm

FranMag

hillary, towel

9:25 pm

helenkeller

AMEN FRAN

9:26 pm

aknitter

can anyone clue me the 10 letter word please

9:26 pm

Enci

I feel sad and frustrated by the aggressive posture the US now finds itself in, and heartbroken at the thought of all of the hatred and sorrow that has been generated by this war.

9:26 pm

9:27 pm

Jacula

I am saddened at how aggressive things get on here when we try to discuss something that important to us all.. as a global community.

9:27 pm

FranMag

lol knitter, that was a couple nights ago, but i like it cooler.

9:28 pm

o2baflyndog

enci, I feel the same exactly... and sad and angry to be associated in any way with this kind of unprovoked aggression against a soverign country

9:28 pm

helenkeller

i am with you o2 & enci

9:28 pm

jillibus

now I'm going to get my supper at last!!!

9:28 pm

Babbler

I see it as impassioned, Jac. I wouldn't expect less, they're hot potatoes.

9:29 pm

helenkeller

jacula - as long as it doesn't resort to inane name calling, i enjoy the 'debate', 'dicussion' whatever you want to call it

9:29 pm

Jacula

Politics and religion - the things I promised myself early on in my life that I would NEVER discuss with friends... why? Because they are , and have been, the biggest causes of wars and coflict throughout our history.

9:29 pm

Enci

I am happy to see energy put into the debate- even if it gets ugly and uncomfortable- apathy will kill us if we let it.

9:29 pm

Babbler

the topics I mean. (am I digging a hole??)

9:29 pm

o2baflyndog

sorry, jac, I don't feel aggressive, just passionate

9:30 pm

Jacula

Enci - We must never let apathy get us!

9:30 pm

helenkeller

no babbler - you done good !

9:30 pm

FranMag

i knew what you meant babs!

9:30 pm

fuzzykoala

we should try to not let that sort of thing happen again

9:30 pm

Jacula

o2 - passion is good!

9:30 pm

Babbler

oh phew! lol

9:30 pm

helenkeller

but jacula - of course, now that you are older & wiser, your tune has quite changed, no?

9:30 pm

phandmd

can I have a clue for the er 8 pls

9:31 pm

Enci

favorite word of the day so far- the 2d ce 4/5

9:31 pm

FranMag

yet voter turnout continues to drop

9:31 pm

phandmd

well I meant 7 but will take the 8 too, assume it is a pair

9:31 pm

o2baflyndog

now I will be splitting my attention between you wonderful people, the grid (hopeless tonight!) and criminal minds... so I bow (hopefully not totally without grace) out of this conversation...

9:31 pm

Jacula

We all live on the same bit of space rock. One day, we may all have to team up to work out how to save it, or go elsewhere. I think it's good tht we thrash out any differences now.

9:32 pm

FranMag

phand, another form of the er6/21, to make provocative.

9:32 pm

helenkeller

good chatting with you o2, bye

9:32 pm

kind of a strange spelling phand.

9:32 pm

thanks helen. they're beads apparently. someone took a gorgeous pic for their ebay listing!

9:34 pm

But it wasn't them that fed any neo-hate I may have had as a child - it was the Japanese... what they did to my Godfather.

9:35 pm

But, having said that, I don't hate the Japanese now. We Brits just keep on with our silly pseudo war about cooking with the French.

9:36 pm

phandmd

for putting me out of my misery

9:36 pm

FranMag

lol phand!

9:36 pm

"Cooking with the French" could make a reality show that I might actually watch.

LOL enci

9:37 pm

autumn moon

oh dear...only 8 words in and I have already resorted to using lickety's....not good for me

9:38 pm

Jacula

Enci - that sounds fun. what chefs/cooks would you put up against each other? Would it be celebrities or celebs and unknowns?

9:38 pm

LoriP

I must toddle off to bed. Thank you all for the help, and have a great evening!

9:38 pm

today is the festival of er or er or or or er. it is puzzling.

night lori!

9:41 pm

I would have random French cooks sent to live with British families and vice versa.

9:42 pm

Jacula

Enci - bet you me and Paul could keep up with those random cooks!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Where are you from, Enci? France?

9:42 pm

FranMag

i prefer peasant fare in any country, you know, every day food. although i do appreciate a nice gourmet meal with well-prepared sauces and great desserts.

9:42 pm

hmmm... culinary battle pitting the brits and franch? I gotta ay, I'd rather have Coq au vin over haggis any day.. or crepes over steak and kidney pie

Hey, hold on, Haggis is the food of the Gods!!

9:44 pm

Jacula

I like that too, Fran, but last so-called French restaurant I was in managed to overcook duck (not easy to do!) anf served me raw vegs.

9:44 pm

o2baflyndog

lizmac, you should get out to eat more! LOL =)

9:44 pm

er, no, it's trolls that live under bridges, not gods....

9:48 pm

Jacula

Babbler - yes, liver is offal.

9:48 pm

indeed, and no adventure to go with it. But I prefer to choose my adventures....

9:56 pm

they lifted the ban on russian caviar this year, but beluga is still not allowed to be harvested, they are still too endangered.

i went to the ussr in 1988 - there i met a bunch of people in their 20's whose main job was to sell american tourists caviar & cuban cigars - 2 of them befriended my sister & i & took us all over leningrad, paid for everything (cause they were loaded!) gave us lots of caviar & cigars to take home (for free) & all they wanted in exchange was to know everything about american anything - music, politics, education, class system, jobs, clothes --- it was an amazing 'exchange' program!

10:55 pm

helenkeller

^5 ramix!

10:56 pm

ramix

for some reason the ts are killing me

10:57 pm

helenkeller

yeah - see, that's the killer, there aren't any weird words in the t's at all - they're mostly all normal words we see all the time - it's something about the layout of these letters that's making it so confusing

10:57 pm

helenkeller

which fish would you like?

10:58 pm

ramix

haha...slap me with snaky fish e/5

10:59 pm

helenkeller

LOL

11:19 pm

NonnieLight

ty faerie

11:42 pm

Faerie

Oh Jill your shell is pretty also

11:42 pm

11:42 pm

mirandapan

hahahaha, Faerie--more on the way tomorrw!

11:42 pm

jillibus

boo hoo -- faerie doesn't like my shell -- weep!

11:43 pm

FranMag

11:43 pm

jillibus

oh thanks, faerie! *stops weeping*

11:43 pm

Tiny

I like all the shells

11:43 pm

Faerie

Jill my Mom had a shell like yours and we loved holding to our ear to listen to the ocean when we were kids :)

11:43 pm

Faerie

Hi Tiny

11:44 pm

mirandapan

11:44 pm

NonnieLight

they'll = they're

11:44 pm

jillibus

I like all the shells too, tactful Tiny!

11:44 pm

metaleather

I can't decide which shell pic to use for tomorrow...

11:44 pm

FranMag

we all had that problem ml

11:44 pm

Faerie

LoL Mirand - kittys are good typist if you will just turn it lose

11:44 pm

Tiny

yeah me too but I went different

11:45 pm

metaleather

I'll do a fashion show and get your input, okay?

11:45 pm

FranMag

okay ml

11:45 pm

Faerie

Hi Metal *waiting for fashion show*

11:45 pm

mirandapan

better than monkeys?

11:45 pm

zabeth

second fe6,27 anyone?

11:46 pm

NonnieLight

OK-strut your stuff, metal

11:46 pm

jillibus

metal -- Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday and I didn't think it started so soon!

11:46 pm

Faerie

well I'm not sure if kitty's are better than Monkeys but you could give it whirl LOL

11:46 pm

FranMag

you mean fo6/27 zabeth? "enemy" + "small hill"

11:47 pm

FranMag

sorry, wrong one, keep looking fo* **, you'll find it (double the R though)

11:48 pm

metaleather

ok, here's the first one... lots of colors, but perhaps a bit garish?

11:48 pm

jillibus

faerie -- forgive me, but the plural of kitty is kitties. Kitty's is a possessive, meaning something that belongs to a kitty.

11:49 pm

FranMag

i like that ml, it's different with several shells instead of one big one.

11:49 pm

zabeth

ahh. yes. i did mean fo, fran. but i'm stumped. 12 minutes remaining and my brain is frying.

11:49 pm

Tiny

It is bright metal

11:49 pm

metaleather

true enough jilli.... but king Cake season has already started and it is a decidedly important part of the pre Mardi Gras time here in south Louisiana

11:49 pm

jillibus

lotsa lovelies, metal...

11:49 pm

FranMag

i never shy away from bright myself.

11:50 pm

metaleather

ok, here comes the next one

11:50 pm

FranMag

zabeth, fo + double consonant (the one we have lots of) + take ** to the limit

11:51 pm

Tiny

zabeth you have to look fo* ** but use double r

11:51 pm

jillibus

King Cake? Roi Gateau?

11:51 pm

Faerie

Oh Metal that is beautiful

11:51 pm

FranMag

that's pretty too ml, and it goes with your love of food.

11:51 pm

mirandapan

Jilli--maybe Faerie meant Kitty's (paws)

11:51 pm

NonnieLight

my vote...keep looking, metal

11:52 pm

11:53 pm

mirandapan

11:53 pm

FranMag
