bacteriophage are viruses that specifically use bacteria to reproduce. In the process, they destroy the bacteria. VERY useful critters!

bacteriophage is a sort of virussy thing which attacks and kills other bacteria and virussy things

our family has been involved as sideline or directly in minor ways with phage study since before our elder kid was born.

the thing is, I don't understand why it has taken so long to capitalise on the knowledge about bacteriophage which I was taught about over 60 years ago and which is only now becoming a matter of interest

12:07 am

12:39 am

12:39 am

not sure about prozac, speedfreak. Some combinations of antidep and painkillers can cause serotonin syndrome, because they both influence the serotonine level in the brain.

8:09 am

lynxxx

I wasn't being nasty to Goldies when I suggested he go for the smaller words first ... he is only 10 ... and with some 200 4/5 letters words to find he will get a lot more satisfaction rather than attempting to understand more 'adult' clues

8:09 am

NonoNanette

i like Amo's crossword dictionary myself

8:09 am

herinfernallady

I am going to general coment - over the course of the week i have been told not to clutter the chat with inane chatter and i have also been told not to ask so many clues in the past.

8:10 am

pinkhatlil

8:10 am

herinfernallady

God no lynxx that wasnt at you. I started by getting the little words then the irritating big ones

8:10 am

carleekat

WHAT?... i have never seen that...

8:10 am

pablo blanco

someone gave me a hard time about asking for clues 2 days ago. I say if you don't want to clue, just don't. But I thank the great people that do because they help me a great deal when I get towards the end of the grid.

8:11 am

Atalante

I think everyone should just bear in mind that they shouldn't flood the chat / annoy others. Just all be nice!

8:11 am

Ogdens Nut

How interesting that you use the word irritating herein

8:11 am

toadandtoadette

if people don't want the clues, they can turn the chat box off so they don't see them

8:11 am

herinfernallady

I just thought that the chatter box was exactly that, general chat and welcomes but lately its just been bitch bitch bitch. NO I am not pointing fingers and stuff

8:12 am

carleekat

well..on that happy note...gone to get ready for my day... bills to pay ( yack) and will apply for that full time job I mentioned earlier even though I have a very sick feelign about doing so

8:12 am

EvaNadine

i have no problem with people asking for clues.

i have a problem with people asking for numerous clues for every single word...after a while, you just have to try to play the game with the resources given, or else realize that maybe the game is too hard for you.

8:15 am

pablo blanco

if we are complaining about a 10 year old asking us for help, there is something wrong with us. We shoul be encouraging him to keep with it. Lynxxx was doing just that by suggesting that he keep looking for the smaller words and then he can build from those. I say Goldies, if you need help ask us. There are much worse things that a 10 year old could be doing.

8:15 am

Goldies how is the puppy

10:52 am

Scarlet

Where is he being sent, mc? Afghanistan or Iraq?

10:52 am

mcurlschool

Afghanistan

10:53 am

Tough being a parent, isn't it? It's harder on the moms and dads, than those who are going overseas...

10:53 am

Scarlet

Which branch of the services is he?

10:54 am

mcurlschool

Air Force; Aerial Gunner on the plane in my icon. he's my baby; and it's his first time over so I think he's pretty apprehensive

10:55 am

stidmama

hi again sprite -- and all!

10:55 am

Scarlet

The Air Force training is par excellence, mc... it would not be human to not be apprehensive... How are you doing with that situation, though?

10:55 am

Judi

Fly high and carry a big gun. That's a good way to stay safe in Afghanistan, I'd say!

10:56 am

So, my review of FF2:

Action scenes: bloody excellent

CGI: Pretty good

Overall a pretty good movie, although I had one gripe with it........*SPOILER ALERT*.........they had Galactus get destroyed.......and he's supposed to be this indestructable entity, the most powerful force in the universe.......oh well.......

11:07 am

Scarlet

Food. Noon. Hmmmm... beloved must be hungry by now... pinkhat, I am going to slough through the last 153 when I return from lunch, but hang in there for the whammies... LOL, and thank you!

well...my opinion ( for whatever is worth ) is if u don't feel like clueing..don't bother... and I also notice that the "personality" of the chat definitely changes throughout the day...so... i try to stay within the bounds of the mood

thanks haz

12:14 pm

Jacula

It's not a case of whether people feel like clueing, more that those who are looking for clues, especially any poor souls still on dial-up, have a nightmare of a time scrolling through the log to find them.

12:14 pm

Aloyisius

It has to do with being patient at the right heat for nearly 50 minutes, kat... maybe the oven is "off" on correct readings? Nah, that can't be... not when someone cooks and bakes as much as you do.

Or, Ata, you can beat heavy cream with a touch of real vanilla and a whisper of sugar... beat to the consistency of "just before it turns to butter" and pipe it into your puffs, refrigerate, and decorate with melted chocolate (nuke in mircowave in a heavy-duty zip-lok bag, snip end, and then drizzle. over puffs).

EvaNadine

AS10 = fall flower + vowel + consumer + consonant

2:23 pm

carleekat

ok..am off for a while... 107 to get later...enjoy

2:23 pm

monagoldstein

what does AS10 mean?

2:23 pm

Scarlet

Later, kat. Flask, it's tougher than most longer ones, that's for certain!!

2:23 pm

EvaNadine

we explained that earlier -- word starting with AS, 10 letters long

2:24 pm

monagoldstein

fine fine

2:24 pm

monagoldstein

and consumer?

2:24 pm

EvaNadine

sorry, that should say "consumed"

2:25 pm

Haz1558

as10 - begin with the starlike flower, tack on the Spanish river (using the last letter of the flower to begin the word, then a shortened form of Edward, the one that begins the child's toy.

2:25 pm

SamanthaJoy

mona, you started on a particularly inauspicious day--this is a large grid, and we're all pulling our hair out. Often we're more informative and friendly, I promise!

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

ok ok

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

got the word

2:25 pm

monagoldstein

but let me tell you, those clues were none like i've seen before

2:25 pm

xamot

asterioted

2:26 pm

flosey

not an easy word to clue mona

2:26 pm

SamanthaJoy

We like to think of ourselves as "creative." Many just find us "confusing."

2:26 pm

Haz1558

Feminine Spanish river.

2:26 pm

xamot

sorry

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

close xamot, but please be careful not to type grid words into the chatlog

2:26 pm

magzel

li 5/12, the first one please

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

you get used to our clue-ing after a while :)

2:26 pm

Scarlet

mona, if you want the meaning of that word, click on the question mark in the "My Word List" and you will get one... it made things easier for me in the beginning, once I found them!

2:27 pm

Scarlet

Hello Haz! How is the garden?

2:28 pm

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - glad to say the plants are growing well and flowers are blooming.

2:28 pm

Scarlet

Is your daughter delighted with "her" flowers?

2:29 pm

Haz1558

She would be if she were here. She's working in Edinburgh over the summer, selling audio guides to tourists at the castle.

2:29 pm

Scarlet

What an experience, Haz. Does she like it?

2:30 pm

Haz1558

I'll have to take some photos and e-mail them to her. She's enjoying the job and has even plucked up the courage to use some of her French.

2:30 pm

Flask1

a clue for mo8 please?

2:31 pm

flosey

Fireworks, and I don't want to know how many hours this took

2:31 pm

Flask1

well done Flosey!

2:31 pm

Haz1558

mo, then run together how Manuel said 'What?' in Spanish and the ending of cigar to indicate another form of tobacco smoking.

2:31 pm

Scarlet

I can only hope that this summer will be recalled as a positive step in her maturity, Haz. My daughter would love to do that type of activity for a short time... Congratulations, Flosey!!

2:31 pm

SamanthaJoy

I wonder how many years I will play this game before I finally remember that "cato" is not a word?

2:31 pm

Flask1

mo8 please??

2:32 pm

flosey

mo8 uses the the double tile

2:32 pm

ursh

hello all and yay flosey wtg - flask mo uses the 5pt tile

2:32 pm

stidmama

yay flose!y

2:32 pm

flosey

hi ursh and stid

2:32 pm

Scarlet

The MO word rhymes with a French word for "flirt" , Flask

2:32 pm

Haz1558

It's a case of needing to earn some money, Scarlet and there seem to be more opportunities in the big city than at home.

2:32 pm

flosey

it's past noon and I have not eaten breakfast yet!! - guess it's brunch time

2:33 pm

stidmama

better get some food flosey, before you waste away! LOL (no problem of that for me, though...)

2:33 pm

ursh

looked up mo8 - type of fabric used in upholstery

2:33 pm

flosey

not much chance of wasting away stid but could pass out

2:34 pm

Scarlet

But to be able to say, "Yes, I worked in a castle for one summer".... money is always a concern for the young ones, Haz. In this area, many post-high schoolers cannot even find a Wal-Mart job...

2:34 pm

Flask1

Haz, sorry I missed your clue, but thanks to you and flosey and Scarlet...and ursh!!...lol

2:34 pm

flosey

I'll pop in and out to see if any clues needed

2:34 pm

Scarlet

Yahoo for Flask!!

2:35 pm

stidmama

are you done flask?

2:35 pm

Scarlet

Please eat, flosey!! See you soon.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

I know, it's a pretty spectacular setting for a job, isn't it? She has to pass by the sentries every day and prove that she's worthy to be in the castle before it opens properly for tourists.

2:36 pm

Scarlet

I cannot even imagine the majesty of the architecture... let us hope that she does not become immune to its history and beauty.

2:36 pm

Haz1558

I hope not. We're more blase than we should be about our old buildings.

2:36 pm

jbp

i have serious browser issues

2:38 pm

Scarlet

That is probably true all over the planet, Haz. I saw on the morning news today: a group of drunken people inside the Stonehenge monument... drinking in the Summer Soltice... is that not pathetic?

2:38 pm

Scarlet

*Solstice*

2:38 pm

stidmama

it's a wonderful thing, Haz -- though hardly as old as any of your castles back there, I worked for two years just out of college in our state capitol building. I never got tired of looking at the pretty architecture, or the furnishings in the office.

2:39 pm

Atalante

stid! yay! what's your favourite colour / combination of colours?

2:39 pm

stidmama

I am celebrating the Solstice today by having my kids be at school all day... the last one until September, and enjoying the light rain shower we had earlier. Now everything smells so good!

2:40 pm

Haz1558

Yes it is, Scarlet. My own experience is that I lived about three miles away from a 12th century Norman castle, but because it was so familiar it didn't quite make the impact on me that it should. I now realise that it's VERY special.

2:41 pm

jbp

yes, happy midsummer all

2:41 pm

stidmama

ARGH. dumb mouse. erased my answer, atalante!

2:42 pm

Scarlet

I had asked residents of the Niagara Falls area if they ever tired of the spectacular beauty of nature... they said they were accustomed to it... the same with folks in St. Augustine, Florida... historical buildings, churches, culture... how very sad. Do you ever go back to the Norman castle now, Haz... to refresh your memories?

2:42 pm

stidmama

I was saying I like most colors. My bedroom as a child was pink (everything pink); I wear a lot of green because it is flattering to my eyes and hair, and brown because it's practical and comfortable to wear. But I go through spurts when I wear a lot of sunny yellow like the grid tiles and red; and I have some nice things in blue too... LOL

2:43 pm

Atalante

so anything then :P I'm finally getting round to doing my babble cards!

2:43 pm

Haz1558

Yes, we took our children and I enjoyed the opportunity to see inside. You have to let your imagination fill in the stories that place has seen.

2:43 pm

riemann

G'afternoon, Stid!

2:43 pm

stidmama

well Haz -- I live amidst a lot of still-green, barely touched by humans, landscapes. Perhaps if I had never been elsewhere I would think it boring and normal... and on a day to day basis like is more important... but I have been lots of other places, and this is just about the nicest.

2:44 pm

Scarlet

I'm laughing now, Haz, because that is what I do... listen to the "ghosts of history" and let my mind do the rest.

2:44 pm

stidmama

hi perfesser! how's by you?

2:44 pm

riemann

Things are starting to happen here. Had a phone interview with a school in GA today.

2:45 pm

stidmama

meant to say "life is more important on a day to day basis..." -- perhaps I ought to find my lunch!

2:45 pm

Haz1558

But that's the great thing about our world - you can have cities and you can have countryside and appreciate both for their beauty.

2:45 pm

stidmama

Georgia? are you outta your mind???? LOL too far away, to muggy in the summer, too many bugs. But they do have nice pecans...

2:46 pm

stidmama

actually happy that you had the interview, but you're getting all these things further away from us, not closer! *folds arms across chest disapprovingly*

2:46 pm

riemann

Stid, you've known me a LONG time. If you're just now realizing I'm out of my mind, we BOTH have problems....

2:46 pm

monagoldstein

what about the 9 letter word?

2:47 pm

stidmama

you heard him, folks! (I got witnesses now) rofl...

2:47 pm

riemann

actually, GA is just as close as CO and SD -- too far to drive, but within airfare.

2:47 pm

Scarlet

Fortunately, we live in partially-secluded glen... still considered within city limits, but surrounded by forestation, white-tail deer, wild turkeys... and so many other fauna, as well as beautiful birds... and now, the gardens... it's a touch of harmony in a world of more, more, more.

2:48 pm

Haz1558

de9/66 took the wind out of my sails - or past tense of undoing the action carried out when spiking a lawn to introduce air.

2:48 pm

stidmama

true enough, and closer to some of the really cool places on the east coast. I think you would like it well enough there, and you'd have air conditioning which would make things tolerable.

2:48 pm

stidmama

*kissing Haz's feet* thank you, dear lady!

2:49 pm

riemann

Yup. The price of my moving to anywhere in the South is that my salary covers 24/7 AC.

2:49 pm

Haz1558

You are very welcome.

2:49 pm

Scarlet

Unexpected visitors! See you later!

2:49 pm

Haz1558

Bye Scarlet - enjoy the visitors.

2:49 pm

stidmama

LOL -- better make that up to and including NY and Penn... they swelter in August.

2:49 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Haz!

2:49 pm

stidmama

later scarlet!

2:50 pm

stidmama

does the AQ 7 build off the 5?

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it's a latin plural.

2:51 pm

Atalante

same first 4 letters

2:51 pm

Haz1558

ALthough, it really builds off the aq4.

2:51 pm

stidmama

okay, *thinking*

2:52 pm

stidmama

got it!

2:52 pm

stidmama

got them both!

2:53 pm

Haz1558

Well done!

2:54 pm

KnightTime

hello all - i have 45 minutes to find 123

2:54 pm

Haz1558

Hello Knight - good luck!

2:54 pm

stidmama

hi knight! I am here for five more, then going to take a nap before I head into town.

2:55 pm

Haz1558

Although, if it's the first 123 it's not so bad.

2:55 pm

KnightTime

the last 123

2:56 pm

Haz1558

In which case I say again, good luck!

2:58 pm

stidmama

I am having to type in words that I KNOW I typed last night!!!!!

2:59 pm

riemann

But can you spell them right at least once, Stid?

2:59 pm

ursh

oh yay fireworks here - tx for great clues - loooong grid this one

2:59 pm

Haz1558

That's annoying when it happens, I know.

2:59 pm

stidmama

YAY ursh!!!!

2:59 pm

Haz1558

Well done ursh.

2:59 pm

stidmama
