A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wo*!
Rose plot, Fringed pool, Fern'd grot—
The veriest school
Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not—
Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign;
'Tis very sure God walks in mine.

VolleymomDee

I have an 8, as 8, at 8, is 8, op 8, pi8, pr 8 x 2, re 8, tw 8, and wi 8... which one am I missing, please?

4:00 am

:|

the same one i am sorry volley

4:00 am

Haz1558

The ensuing pause is while everyone desperately tries to find those 8s themselves......

4:01 am

FranMag

hee, so true haz. :-)

4:02 am

:|

I wish we had the ability to sort the words by length rather than alphabetically, so hard to locate an 8 in the list

4:03 am

VolleymomDee

lol I agree

4:04 am

lynxxx

the cht list goes by so quickly so know I have an excel open so I can note down the clues and come back to them

4:05 am

lynxxx

(sorry my spelling is awful tonite)

4:05 am

:|

i use the search function on the chat log lynxxx

4:05 am

Crone

is licketty having a night off?

4:05 am

:|

lots of storms all over nsw tonite crone - could explain it

4:05 am

Andree

guess he deseves it if he is crone

4:05 am

FranMag

hi crone, i think there are certain days he has soccer, not sure

4:06 am

lynxxx

:- how does does that work pls

4:06 am

pinkhatlil

i was wandering the same thing.

4:06 am

Crone

yeah - it's been storming here since about 5pm

4:06 am

:|

use the find on this page, usually listed under edit, in your browser lynxxx

4:07 am

lynxxx

Thankyou :I

4:07 am

Angb

Wow :l - I have never seen that before.

4:08 am

:|

np, its a good way to search for 8s or woteva too, as i m doing now

4:08 am

Haz1558

That's a new one to me as well - looks like I've not been doing babble listless, but certainly search-functionless for ages. I feel very proud.

4:08 am

VolleymomDee

great idea; never thought of that

4:08 am

Angb

I was just thinking about normal google searches that send you to a whole site of junk - and you spend hours looking for what you ant

4:09 am

Angb

*want

4:09 am

:|

it comes in handy a lot

4:09 am

Haz1558

But don't tell anyone else about it. Let's be at an unknown advantage.....

4:09 am

lynxxx

LOL thats been 'accidently' coming up for me for ages - I thought I was doing something wrong, hadn't taken any notice - just clicked out of it

4:10 am

pinkhatlil

how many words are there today? im reluctant it enter any words in case its a whopper of a grid!

4:10 am

Angb

Only 305 pink

4:10 am

Haz1558

305 - heading towards a whopper.

4:10 am

FranMag

305 pink

4:11 am

lynxxx

305 Pink - but its pretty friendly

4:13 am

Andree

:l just tried the edit thing, can't work out what to do?

4:13 am

pinkhatlil

305 is massive i know i wont complete this grid, and i want my rankings to go up. have fun bye!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Bye pinkhat.

4:13 am

:|

type in wot you want to find andree and hit enter, it should go thru the list for you

4:13 am

Andree

bye pink

4:14 am

:|

re is usually a button to 'find next' or with firefox you can hit enter to find the next entry

4:14 am

Andree

i have never even looked at the rankings lol

4:14 am

FranMag

bye pink!

4:14 am

jean1953

good morning everybody:)

4:14 am

hi jean!

4:15 am

Good morning jean!

4:15 am

Angb

Andree what browser are you using?

4:15 am

lynxxx

Hi Jean

4:15 am

Angb

Hi jean

4:15 am

Andree

internet explorer angb

4:15 am

:|

in firefox and in internet explorer the find is found inside the edit menu at the top of the browser

4:16 am

Angb

When you go into find Andree a dialogue box comes up. Put your word in and hit enter and will highlight each instance of the word one by one on page.

4:17 am

Andree

:l if i knew the word to type it in, i would not need to look for it so i am confused

4:17 am

Andree

i confuse easily, lol

4:17 am

Angb

I see what you mean. I suppose you could put 8 in

4:17 am

thad

Hi Thad at Yishun!

4:17 am

:|

no -- type in something like an and it will show all the time an has been mentioned, type in 8 it will find all mentions of 8

4:18 am

Crone

yeah - I'm not sure of the value of "find"

4:18 am

Angb

I think :l is saying that you can go thru the chat looking for clues

4:18 am

:|

well as we have a standard here for clues it is great - if i need an8/74 for instance it would locate every entry of that in the entire chat log

4:18 am

Angb

:l would work well if you opening the entire chat log though - right?

4:19 am

:|

yep ang, i do that in a seperate tab or window

4:19 am

thad

Hi Ricky and Reuben at Yishun....... I am encik enam at Bishan

Haz1558

Although we would be sniffy and spell it old school.....

4:20 am

Angb

Alleyn - it builds off the sixites dance craze, the tw5/18 - just keep doing it over and over.

4:32 am

Haz1558

VolleymomDee

chk chag blood... I clued earlier

4:44 am

VolleymomDee

sorry, meant chat... several clued the 10s

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bloodaxe - too young to remember the dance? tw5/18 - to contort, as in wringing out a wet cloth. Do it again, then add the gerund ending, remembering the gerund ending without the doing it again...

4:44 am

Angb

Blood the ro 10 builds on an ro 7. The first 5 letters rhyme with a word for damp

4:44 am

Bloodaxe

thanks haz...i do remember that dance, but am having problems finding the correct endings.

4:44 am

Haz1558

ro10 builds off ro6 - ro plus the ending of your female sibling. Again add the gerund ending. And look, you're having a great time!

4:45 am

Bloodaxe

thanks haz...

4:45 am

Bloodaxe

4:47 am

Bloodaxe

bye angb...sweet dreams

4:48 am

Haz1558

Does that mean lots of mud or lots of dust, Angb? Enjoy it anyway and sleep well.

4:48 am

Angb

Both Haz. They've been taking in truckloads of water. As it is dry here. But mostly difficult up hill or down hill hazards to get thru

4:49 am

Angb

Can't have 4WD Trials without mud

4:49 am

Haz1558

If you'd told me, I could have shipped next door's lawn over to you. Small boys, newly laid grass, lots of rain and football do NOT mix.

4:50 am

Angb

Hmmm - I am sure parents are plenty happy - not. It's so hot here my boys won't go outside!

I just hope the man who laid the lawn doesn't come by to see his handiwork. It would make him weep!

4:52 am

Bloodaxe

haz? i'm sorry but i'm just not finding the tw10..i have the 5/18 and he 8/70....

4:53 am

Haz1558

Put the re prefix in front for re7/44, then the gerund ending for re10/112

4:53 am

Dippnall

bloodaxe...I think the 10 you're after begins with re

4:53 am

Bloodaxe

WOW! thanks haz....

4:54 am

Bloodaxe

i must still be tired....and thanks dipp

4:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Boodaxe.

4:54 am

Bloodaxe

i think i'll just stick to the 4 and 5 letter words for the time being

4:56 am

Haz1558

It's a fun grid - the 4 and 5 letter words gather pace and find the bigger ones as they grow.

5:02 am

hannah lou

Good morning movieman!

5:20 am

movieman

seeing as there's less of them today, i think i'll get the 9s and 10s out of the way first, so.......clue me plz

5:21 am

Haz1558

Scroll back to 4/44 - should still be on the page, if you're quick.

5:21 am

Haz1558

I have no 9 letter words yet.

5:24 am

FMitch

There is an as8/40 and pl for 9/54 Haz
Morning - did you have a good time last night?

5:26 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - had a great time. John McEnroe v Henri Leconte, an exhibition doubles match featuring Pat Cash and Peter Fleming and a singles match between Jeremy Bates and Cedric Pioline.

5:26 am

FMitch

Use the bottom A

5:27 am

Haz1558

I've got the 9 letter words now (scrolled back through chat log archives). It was great entertainment, although I could have done without the man sitting next to me. He seemed to feel the need to be line judge, umpire, commentator all rolled into one. And he chewed gum incessantly.....

5:27 am

Haz1558

But his young son hung onto his every word....

5:28 am

FMitch

There is always one isn't there! Sounds like a fun evening though.

5:29 am

Haz1558

It was - had our evening meal first in the same complex so had plenty of time. I wasn't home until way past the Cinderella hour!

5:30 am

Haz1558

It seems to be written into John McEnroe's contract to have a major strop. He refused to continue to play for a while, so a ball boy was recruited to play Leconte.

5:31 am

FMitch

All part of the act now I bet!

5:31 am

FMitch

Right must get things to do and all that, maybe see you later. Have a good day

5:32 am

Haz1558

I think so - he even received a code violation for something he said to a line judge. But some of the tennis was great.

5:32 am

Haz1558

Have a good day as well, Fmitch - I'm off to face the shopping experience....

5:33 am

Haz1558

Bye all!

5:46 am

movieman

re10= to tw5 again......

5:46 am

Eva

I have the ro10 too, but the re is stumping me

5:47 am

Eva

thanks movie!!

5:47 am

hydra

Oh. As in the song. Was it Chubby Checker?

5:47 am

movieman

yw eva, by the way, hows you and merp today?

5:47 am

Eva

it was indeed chubby checkers

5:47 am

movieman

it was hydra

5:47 am

hydra

I'm now tw----- on my chair!

5:48 am

Eva

And I remember dancing to that at a bar mitzvah

5:48 am

Eva

everyone is fine here. How are you doing movie?

5:48 am

movieman

i'm fine.....the terminator has gone offline again......

5:49 am

Eva

what does that mean movie?

5:49 am

movieman

i'm referring to my cat, Arnie......

5:49 am

Eva

I know-but what does his going offline mean?

5:49 am

movieman

he's asleep......

5:50 am

Eva

ah....I thought maybe it meant having a kitty fit. But that makes more sense. They are great sleepers aren't they? I envy the ability.

5:50 am

hydra

Aah! Prod him awake and tell him he should be helping you.

5:51 am

Eva

I've been letting Merp into the basement at night to see if he can find the critter in the electrical chase, but so far no luck. Will probably have to get a havahart trap.

5:51 am

jepok22

5:52 am

movieman

my cat is a great sleeper, yes, if he's not sleeping he's eating, and he has this annoying habbit of "kneading" my arm when he's wants something......(at the moment, my arm looks like I have a rash of some kind).......

5:52 am

Eva

awww...very cute...he's tying to nurse on your arm

5:53 am

Eva

hi lucy

5:54 am

movieman

i know, eva, they're all kittens at heart, aren't they?

5:54 am

Eva

well I think being with us keeps them that way.

5:55 am

movieman

yep, psuedo-mothers and all that......

5:55 am

Eva

When they're out on their own, i.e. feral (which is not in the grid today) they aren't kittenish at all...very aloof and quite aggressive

5:57 am

Eva

phanton-pregnant

5:57 am

movieman

exactly, eva, it's like they have a schizo personality, kind and gentle indoors, but as soon as they cross that threshold, they revert to their feral instincts....

6:02 am

movieman

Icon changed.....to a different kind of killing machine......

good morning jillibus

9:24 am

NonnieLight

Good morning Jill!

9:24 am

sherb

morning jilli :)

9:24 am

Scarlet

Although I just haven't been able to become a big fan of women's sports, the greatest player I have seen is Martina Navratolova (sp?). She was extraordinary.

9:24 am

Haz1558

Thank you jillibus - it's nice to see you too!

9:25 am

Scarlet

Good morning, jillibus! :-))

9:25 am

Haz1558

Some of the women tennis players have been brilliant, I always loved watching Steffi Graff as well. But sorry, the Williams sisters leave me cold...

9:26 am

Scarlet

Exactly, Haz. Steffi was a great, and her style was unique. I cannot bear the grunters, the anger-junkies and the primadonnas... what ever happened to the pure ethic of sport?

9:28 am

Haz1558

I have to turn the sound down when some of them are playing! One of my favourite men players was Stefan Edberg - so elegant to watch. Roger Federer is also wonderful, of course.

9:29 am

Haz1558

The funny thing is that sometimes the prima-donna behaviour is rewarded. McEnroe threw a tantrum last night - I think it's in his contract!

9:29 am

Scarlet

But, of course! Federer had to grow on me, though, but now I can truly appreciate that he finds the inner reserve to respond instead of react to the pressures.

9:29 am

Haz1558

He seems to be genuinely liked and admired by the other players as a person as well as a player and that pleases me.

9:29 am

Scarlet

LOL, Hazel... JohnnyMac is what we call in the USA, a "pisseroo". LOL

9:30 am

Haz1558

Federer being the object of admiration (McEnroe in a different sort of way)

9:31 am

Scarlet

What a delightful evening you must have experienced, Haz.

9:32 am

Haz1558

It was great - part of my Christmas present from my sister who shared the experience with me.

9:32 am

gardengirl

I agree with you on the Williams sister Haz, but I must admit I was genuinely happy for Serena when she won her latest. With all she has been through she was beside herself with joy. It was really lovely to see. Plus, when she is on she is an amazing player.

9:34 am

Scarlet

Oh, gardengirl, I agree with you. I wanted very much for the Chicago Bears to win the Super Bowl, but did feel unhappy to see Peyton Manning finally receive his ring... and to see the coach get his due.

9:34 am

Haz1558

They do seem to be really nice girls - but they're so big and powerful and just not as elegant as the likes of Graf and Goolagong. (there I go dating myself again)

9:34 am

Scarlet

She was the only Aboriginal tennis player in international competition if I recall correctly, Haz.

9:35 am

Haz1558

I think so - she just always looked as though she was enjoying herself.

9:35 am

Scarlet

What a personality!

9:37 am

sherb

Chrissie Evert was my favourite among the women players... (also dating myself...)

9:37 am

Scarlet

Does anyone have a clue for the other 9? I have the as9/54. Thank you.

9:37 am

gardengirl

I think in any sport it's tough to not feel happy for the winner of a game well played. I miss the old days of tennis too - there just seemed to be so much more personality on the court.

9:38 am

Haz1558

pr9/60 - being the plural of the pr8/45 - looks like something very clean and in good condition has been spelt slightly differently.

9:39 am

Haz1558

I agree, gardengirl - I can admire the loser and winner of any game provided they have done their best.

9:39 am

Scarlet

Does anyone recall Rod Laver...hmmm?

9:40 am

Haz1558

Rod Laver was my mother's hero. I recall coming home from primary school and her doing the ironing, entranced while Wimbledon was on.

9:40 am

dfa

it wont let me put in the plural of the pr 8... how did u manage that?

9:41 am

Scarlet

Wonderful memory, Haz.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Try again and make sure, dfa.

9:42 am

dfa

keeps on saying not found in the dictionary

9:42 am

Bloodaxe

dfa...there are two almost exactly the same. one of the has a different vowel as the third to last letter

9:42 am

Haz1558

Does it let you enter pr8/45?

9:42 am

Scarlet

TY, D.

Jadeomoan

Ok, the ro10 has got me STUMPED! I don't even see an ro at all!

10:26 am

Scarlet

Haz clued that two are related to silver, ursh, and the god of war I have

10:26 am

Haz1558

ursh - there are three in a row dealing with the upper class, a female, a male and plural male versions

10:27 am

Haz1558

ar6/18, ar6/18, ar7/28 are the numbers for those

10:27 am

Haz1558

ar5/12 - add a writing instrument then develop on that.

10:28 am

Dorens

jade---having a rowdy time

10:28 am

sherb

ro10 is a word frequently used in Blackadder... they were always having a ro10 good time!!

10:28 am

Haz1558

ar5/12, ar6/21, ar6/21 and ar7/32 should come from that one.

10:28 am

Scarlet

Jade, ro+word that rhymes with clam's cousin

10:28 am

Douglas

A pretty good golfer is in the grid...

10:28 am

Dorens

10:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ursh.

10:30 am

Scarlet

sherb, pardon my ignorance. What is Blackadder?

10:31 am

Haz1558

How are you going to explain Blackadder, sherb?

10:31 am

sherb

Blackadder is a TV series... written by Richard Curtis, who wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral...

10:31 am

Douglas

A delightful British comedy starring Rowan Atkinson set in various eras in history

10:31 am

sherb

...but that doesn't really explain Blackadder... you have to see it to appreciate it...

10:32 am

Scarlet

Was he an adventurer, crime-solver, irritant to the time/space theories...?

10:33 am

Douglas

He is someone who, in spite of his malformed character, turns out to be a hero of sorts...

10:33 am

Smiley23_47393

anyone heard about a ice storm

10:33 am

Scarlet

Ah, the old, antiheroic central character...

10:33 am

Scarlet

No, Smiley, where are you?

10:33 am

Smiley23_47393

yea i just heard we where in for a ice storm near muncie indiana

10:33 am

pabtrek

i heard the midwest is really supposed to get hit

10:34 am

Douglas

It helps that many of the characters around him are bumbling idiotic twits...

10:34 am

Bloodaxe

oh no...i hope it doesn't hit ND...it's lutefisk weekend!

10:34 am

cdv

so....whos the lily licker

10:34 am

Dorens

ahhh--lutefisk

10:35 am

Scarlet

Sounds more interesting than the Larry Seidel horror show last week on court television. What the heck is lutefisk week? Sounds like a Finnish dinner.

10:35 am

Douglas

And it's quite amusing that British history is mocked to scorn, given that the Brits are rather serious about that sort of thing...

10:35 am

Army Mom

Good Morning

10:35 am

Scarlet

Hi, ArmyMom

10:35 am

Bloodaxe

oh course weather doesn't stop them...one year we got hit with a foot of snow and they delivered the lutefisk to the people who couldn't get out of their drive-ways

10:36 am

Army Mom

I am located in NW, Indiana, weather still pretty calm here, except for the wind coming out of the East

10:36 am

Army Mom

Hello Scarlet

10:36 am

Scarlet

Blood, is it anything like fiskebollers?

10:36 am

Bloodaxe

oh...delivered the lutefisk on snowmobiles

10:36 am

Douglas

But one should really go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/blackadder
/ to get a better idea...

10:36 am

Bloodaxe

never heard of it scarlet...lutefisk is a norsk fish served soaked ini butter

10:37 am

vpchat

rats, I thought sure pe6/21 was "petsat" :(

10:37 am

Douglas

Hello Army Mom

10:37 am

Douglas

From the standpoint of delicious food, eating lutefisk once is once too many

10:38 am

Douglas

From the standpoint of establishing one's Scandinavian credentials, eating lutefisk once is enough...

10:38 am

Bloodaxe

i've never tried it, but i've been told it's an "acquired" taste

10:38 am

Scarlet

My Finnish grandmother made a fiskeboll which is a codball... dried cod soaked in water for three days, drained, flaked and mixed with other ingredients to create a sort of croquette.

10:38 am

BabbleRabble

Which, of course is a matter of opinion.

10:39 am

Bloodaxe

hey BR!

10:39 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, Blood.

10:39 am

Scarlet

Good morning, BR

Bloodaxe

thanks haz

10:41 am

Douglas

10:41 am

Haz1558

That's true, Douglas. I have a feeling the lutefisk could fall into either category.

10:43 am

Scarlet

LOL, Blood and Haz. Still "fishing"

10:43 am

ursh

Hax thank you for earlier ar clues - a's now all done

I'm bemused by the "vim and vigour" clue--any more help for an7 and an8?

11:07 am

Uneaixoise

pr9/60 plural of pr8 45 . . . same as "perfect condition" but change second vowel

11:07 am

Douglas

Well, it was embedded in another word...

Alleyn

Still need serious clues for the 9s pls

11:13 am

Douglas

That must have been a real stretch for Ms. Jolie...

11:13 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - if you have the pr8 relating to the perfect condition of something, change a vowel in the second syllable, to make it more of a Scottish rendering. Then make it plural.

11:14 am

Dorens

a + class of drugs used to lower cholestorol + vowel

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

11:14 am

Dorens

and then its plural--- that's a 9

11:14 am

Thanks Haz

11:15 am

Haz1558

as9/54 is the plural of as8 40 - as, a shortened baby form of thanks (two letters), four letters for the prong of a fork. Then plural for as9.

Asti is a proper name - it's a region in Italy :)

proper noun, douglas

11:23 am

isn't asti Italian?

Haz1558

That's you shot down, Douglas.

I'm opening up a bottle of Asti Spumante for consolation...(Hic!)

11:26 am

vpchat

it's 11:25 am... if I mix my champagne with orange juice, does that make it ok?

11:26 am

Uneaixoise

you know, that's why the wired cork was invented . . . to transport the beverage by horsedrawn carriage from Champagne to other towns . . . bouncing made the corks blow . . .

I don't retain a lot of trivia, but I love to learn of it anyway

11:29 am

featherbee

later sherb

11:29 am

vpchat

sa 6/24 = sa + a little touch of bitter

11:29 am

Douglas

My consolation is that asti is a prefix of a word...

11:29 am

Haz1558

Flosey - the first one differs from the second in only one vowel - make the 'noise' into more of a 'taste'

11:30 am

Haz1558

Bye sherb - leaving me to face evanonut's wrath alone....

11:30 am

vpchat

hmm... doesn't really count as a prefix

It would seem that Satan has been cast out of the dictionary due to being a proper noun, although Satan is entirely improper...

11:37 am

harpjane

could someone clue the O's in the bottom corner?

11:38 am

hetty

11:38 am

hetty

Doug, I

11:38 am

Haz1558

Latin singulars and plurals vary according to declension. A noun ending in 'us' (as in stratus) takes 'i' as the plural.

11:38 am

smooth_pappa

how is Statin not a word???

11:38 am

Haz1558

A latin singular ending in a, becomes ae in the plural.

11:38 am

Dorens

Douglas

And speaking of the op word, what's up with Fox News doing all Anna Nicole Smith all the time?

11:44 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure of the origin of stasis, hetty, could it be Greek?

11:44 am

smooth_pappa

11:46 am

Douglas

Reprioritizing, Dorens...

11:46 am

There is a class of drugs used to sedate, coming from the poppy family. Follow the drug trail to find the op8 - gerund ending....

11:46 am

11:50 am

Jacula

Hi Haz. I think you might be interested in my icon. You probably know the place.

11:52 am

Haz1558

It's the main road between Ballymena where I live and Ballymoney, the next major town. Alongside the road there are lots of peat mosses - the trees have been there for many years, but sadly some have had to be cut down recently.

Some have been replanted, but it will take years for them to grow properly. The haunting story I will have to research. I imagine there'll be skulduggery involved

11:54 am

Douglas

The first time I heard pigsnie used was by C. S. Lewis at the end of The Screwtape Letters

lol adhd, when I was in college, I weent to a religious school. It was in michigan, so we had tons of snow. A couple of us ended up building an igloo about 7 ft high and 7 ft. diameter, so that we had a place to smoke ciggarettes and drink beer. lol Carved benches in it, and shelves in the walls. lol It was pretty hillarious. And with all the other snow, you couldn't see it, until you were just a couple feet away from it

1:37 pm

ursh

I am always amazed that people do these grids with no list at all - i try to get as far as i can then get the list - which was late today and pushed me to 70% with no list

1:38 pm

sprite

I take your word for it, jilli :)
First time I saw it on tv, I really thought it was some kind of comic show!

1:38 pm

good afternoon all-any clues for ai 6/24?

1:39 pm

sprite

hi majmom - same ending as word for 'to be sorry'

1:39 pm

Aloyisius

right, ursh... my personal goal is to get 75%, then go to the list if I can't go further.. on an "easy" day, it is doable, but on a "hard" grid, with lots of weirdo stoopidhead words, I usually don't get 75%

1:39 pm

evanonut

this grid causes me much an 5/14

1:40 pm

Aloyisius

lol, nut

1:40 pm

ADHDWordLover
