the 10 uses four different letters two times each
12:45 am

deos the GE 10 start GEO?
12:45 am
gremlinn

yes - it is the plural of a noun meaning "a science dealing with the constituent parts of the earth, its envelope of air and water, its crust, and the condition of its interior"
12:46 am

after the "geo" is a part which means "knowledge"

I lost a cockatiel once - it had a wing clipped and I took it outside, not realizing the feathers had grown in as fast as they did.
1:10 am
Andree

after an hour scouring the neighbourhood and telling everyone my daughter will kill me i gave up and stood on the lawn hoping he would fly onto me, along came this fellow and said cosmo is at our house[ by this time everyone around knew the birds name and all particulars
1:11 am
flosey

wow, great that you got him back Andree

hi Andree

must tell you my bird story lynxxx
3:19 am
lynxxx

I'm back and all ears
3:19 am
Andree

i did not realise the cockatiel was on my back and i walked outside , he flew away, i ran all over the place calling into the trees "cosmo" i think the whole neighbourhood though me nuts, i was hysterical and told all and sundry" my daughter will kill me"
3:20 am
Andree

about an hour later i was on our front lawn hoping he would land on me as he is so tame and i am his favourite
3:21 am
Andree

a man came buy and said "we have cosmo" he had heard the name and story from another neighbour
3:22 am
Andree

naughty randy cosmo had found their house by hearing their female cockatiel
3:22 am
lynxxx

what a relief!
3:22 am
lynxxx

lol!
3:22 am

lovely story, lynxx! and good morning. just have a few minutes to jump in then must finish tax prep! only put it off for 3 months!

such lovely birds
3:24 am

it is so nice for a lost pet story to end well -- and so rare!!!
3:24 am
rubyfoo

does he talk?
3:24 am
Andree

if he gets lost again i know where to look, clipped his wings this afternoon, hated doing it but he nearly gave me a heart attack, jules loves this bird more than her kids!!!!
3:26 am
Andree

he whistles beautifully but doesn't talk, very tame nods madly when you speak to him, you have to teach them to talk very young
3:27 am
Andree

we found him being attacked by crows and he spent a couple of weeks at the vet while they looked for an owner so it was too late to teach him to talk
3:28 am
lynxxx

Look on UTube Ruby, some lovely clips of them talking and you can see how pretty they are
3:29 am
Andree

was suprised at how dull the female was, far less colour and although her whistle attracted him , his whistle is far louder and more lovely
3:30 am
Andree

so ends my bird story
3:30 am
rubyfoo

there was a large tame parrot where we boarded our first chow,Rosie. It would call her name and when she walked over, would nip her. More than once! Chows are not the sharpest blades in the drawer -- except for Miss Ruby, of course....lol
3:31 am
lynxxx

a lovely story. Perhaps he can visit his ladylove when you bake them a cake as a thankyou!
3:31 am
lynxxx

wow - that is really dumb
3:32 am
Andree

jules is going around with chocolates and an offer to mate them

I also have some minature daffodils just coming into bloom and I planted up some seeds yesterday. Spent ages mooching round the garden centre, could have spent a fortune in there.
4:36 am
FMitch

1st time I have had a garden in 13 years and just get so excited at the thought of it :)
4:37 am
sprite

I should do something like that too and soon. On low budget, but with a bit of thinking it should be rewarding yet.
4:37 am
lynxxx

Do you have private garden FM or have you just taken over a ll the common garden?
4:37 am
sprite

am so glad for you, FM!
4:37 am
FMitch

the house has its own garden not big but big enough for me.
4:38 am
sprite

will you do flowers only or also some veggies?
4:39 am
FMitch

Flowers and tomatoes, lettice and herbs, I feel like a novice so will take is slowly.
4:40 am
sprite

I am a novice and tried last year for the first time, not very successfully I must say. Have a little more information now and will try about the same as you. Better a little bit that does well than too much that does poorly :)

I just grow herbs now rather than veges - our back garden is now too shaded. Very nice having fresh herbs incl parsley though - and saves fortune

4:52 am

4:53 am
lynxxx

There are a lot of those over here too. With wheels on them , you can push them round the garden and follow the sun
4:53 am
FMitch

ah thanks spritey
4:53 am
sprite

this one isn't that fancy, it is very simple. But effective, I think. Am so looking forward to trying again.
4:54 am
lynxxx

The latest ones are made from corrugated iron - look like minature watertanks
4:55 am
FMitch

Nothing more satisfying as gowing and tending a garden.
4:55 am
sprite

and also advice about which flowers to plant with which veggies. I like that too. Biological pe4 control.
4:55 am
FMitch

even if it is just a few containers or windowboxes on a balcony.
4:56 am
sprite

FM, I have never do4 it before last year and I didn't get much produce, except lots of strawberries and 3 tiny tomatoes, and a few beans. I would so like to be able to get a meal out of it.
4:57 am

PI + a big male pig + vowel

7:25 am
herinfernallady

Ok I am a lot disturbed
7:25 am
Haz1558

pi plus what you wear on your foot, but put another consonant in to make it incorporate a pig. Or to the preceding pi4/6 add a backwards Freudian term (not id).
7:25 am

oh those. I know them well. haha. you missed a consonant out by the way
7:26 am

7:38 am

once i stopped looking for cartographer i was good to go lol
7:38 am
crosshair

yes,pinny,breathing exercises
7:38 am
Atalante

brown paper bags
7:38 am
PinnyPoppins

like how?
7:39 am
crosshair

you do slow breaths in and out,take your time and slowly fill your lungs and take a good 30 seconds exhalking
7:39 am
PinnyPoppins

something i can do in the foyer of an office while waiting for a job interview (excludes things that make me look crazy to others)
7:39 am
crosshair

you focus on some bit of mature outside while doing this
7:39 am
FMitch

and avoiding the circumstances that cause them until you have done what crossy said.
7:39 am
Atalante

or visualisation - being able to train your mind onto a place that represents safety / happiness for you
7:39 am
crosshair

nature
7:39 am
crosshair

but slow even brathing
7:40 am
crosshair

think of your favorite flower
7:40 am
crosshair

and cose your eyes and see it in your mind
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins

ok - i'll try that
7:40 am
crosshair

see the flower... what kind is it?
7:40 am
FMitch

what happened Pinny?
7:40 am
PinnyPoppins

i'm not sure i can avoid stressful circumstances right now fmitch
7:41 am
PinnyPoppins

basically, i suffered from chronic panic attacks 5 years ago
7:41 am
PinnyPoppins

they were related to my drinking and drug use
7:41 am
PinnyPoppins

with the help of rehab and medication, i managed to claw my life back and have been panic free for the past 4 years, until friday
7:42 am
PinnyPoppins

all a bit too graphic for the chog, so i apologise for airing my dirty laundry
7:42 am
FMitch

Well done that is great. What happened to trigger it off again then?
7:42 am
Atalante

these of course only work if you can get your mind into the nature / pretty place concept *before* you start having a meltdown
7:42 am
crosshair

por nada,i drag my icky stuff in here all the time lol
7:43 am
PinnyPoppins

thursday night i only got 3 hours sleep - just couldn't sleep, but not stressed or anything - then got up and had coffee and went off to my interview
7:43 am
crosshair

indeed ata,you must be where you cannot be bothered for 110 min or so
7:43 am
crosshair

10
7:43 am
PinnyPoppins

waiting to be called in and i got there really early and they were running late, so i ended up sitting waiting for them for 45 mins - for some reason, this triggered my first attack in 4 years
7:44 am
hego

Hello All
7:44 am
crosshair

howdy hego
7:44 am
PinnyPoppins

since then, i've been terrified that i'm going to have another one - have interviews tomorrow and thursday - and i can't stop thinking about them
7:44 am
Atalante

I went through 2 years of cognitive behavioural therapy not working before my therapist understood that I couldn't get my mind to react quickly enough to go into some happy place to prevent any panic attack!
7:45 am
PinnyPoppins

so what happened ata?
7:45 am
FMitch

Waiting for an interview would be enough to wind up anyone. Do what crossy said slow and deep breathing - you will be OK and we will want to know which job you get :)
7:45 am
PinnyPoppins

all i can think about is what happened 5 years ago and am making myself more panicky as a result - becomes a self-sulsilling prophecy
7:46 am
PinnyPoppins

self-fulfilling even...
7:46 am
Atalante

changes in meds, that was the only thing that seemed to work back then. but now, the only real way I can find to deal with these things is having someone with me / some complocated audio book to listen to / something that absolutely *forces* my mind to pay attention to it
7:46 am
FMitch

Think of all of us Babblers when you are sitting waiting. I do, instead of counting sheep if I can't sleep I recall Babblers names. *grin*
7:47 am
herinfernallady

Loves Ata.
7:47 am
crosshair

yes,you must visualize,clear your mind of all distractions,there is no past,no future,only now,feel the breath entering and leaving your body,see you happy thing,flower,tree,place,feel the blood coursing through your veins.focus on the happy vision in your mind till all other things recede and it is crystal clear in your mind.it is amazing how much detail you can acheive
7:47 am
hego

Pinny, you also need to put the past behind you. Mentally close the door on 5 years ago.
7:48 am
hego

You're a different you now, honey.
7:48 am
crosshair

yesterday is done,it cannot be changes.it is a closed book
7:48 am

you're all very kind and it's making me cry

Awwww
7:48 am
PinnyPoppins

i will be seeing hyacinths and babblers names floating before my eyes
7:48 am
FMitch

It's OK pinny babble chog is a very nice place to be.
7:48 am
crosshair

when your are done with a book,close it and put it on the shelf of your mind
7:48 am
Atalante

and being very honest with myself. "ok. I can do this. what;s the worst that can happen? I'm not going to die. I'm simply not. I might look like an idiot running into the loo hyperventilating, but I can deal with that. Now I'm going to not think about it. I'm going to count the tiles on the wall 10 times. Or focus on every word in a book. And afterwards, I'm damn well going to eat a lot of chocolate"
7:49 am
herinfernallady

Pinny my 2 cents is I listen to my ipod outside, avoid pension payout days, school out times , and make sure I look at the shopping centre directory to see where the nearest exits and toliets are
7:49 am
hego

You'll be okay. Just believe that and you're halfway there.
7:49 am
FMitch

LOL and hugs Ata
7:49 am
crosshair

dont throw the book away,because it is a reference and it teaches,but it cannot change and is not a worry,just a reference
7:50 am
Atalante

or do FM's patent method of falling asleep. Think of a babbler's name for every letter of the alphabet. Or a climbing route for every letter. *Anything* that keeps your mind out of having space and time to panic
7:50 am
hego

Some good advice here, Pinny.
7:50 am
PinnyPoppins

i very nearly had another one last night at the cinema, mainly because that was the exact screen that i had my very first attack in 5 years ago
7:50 am
crosshair

thats my 2 cents;0
7:50 am
herinfernallady

If you need to sleep grab a law book
7:51 am
hego

that was about 5 cents, Crossy. :-)
7:51 am
PinnyPoppins

thank you guys - i do really appreciate it - i know i needed to speak about it, but it's not always easy finding someone to speak to
7:51 am

bonsai trees are also very good for this pinny

Vicuna

Pinny will look a little funny carrying her bonsai tree around to all her interviews with her... but what the heck. It's okay to look a little silly!
7:52 am
hego

I like the chocolate suggestion, myself.
7:52 am

loll,before the meeting not at the meeting lol
7:52 am
PinnyPoppins

p.s. i'd like to offer my own sage advice for the day as a thank you - if you go and see 'alice in wonderland', don't bother paying the extra cash for the 3D showing
7:52 am
Mom

morning everyone ...
7:53 am
hego

Promising yourself a reward can't hurt,
7:53 am

howdy mom
7:53 am
hego

Hi Mom.
7:53 am
FMitch

Oh how about printing off a copy of the grid and taking it with you so yo ucan find some words whilst waiting for the interview?
7:53 am
Vicuna

Anyway, Pinny, you aren't afraid of the interviews, you're only afraid of the panic. And there's no reason you're destined for that.
7:53 am
Mom

Crossy, would you please post your chicken cordon bleu recipe again. I didn't get it printed off
7:53 am
Atalante

but among all this happy nature fluff, you do still need to acknowledge the possibility of what might happen. Because it's a reality. It doesn't work avoiding the issue, you just get more panicky trying not to think of it. It's like having a weak bladder -- lol what an analogy - it's something you need to work aruond - don't be a cinema for 4 hours without a loo nearby - but something you can also control if you put effort into it
7:53 am
PinnyPoppins

it's totally true vic
7:53 am

(and at the end of the day, if you're at the interview and just get panicky, ask for a drink of water, and explain to the receptionist that you're not feeling great and need a few moments. Nearly everyone has been there with this kind of thing!)
7:57 am
Mom

Oh Pinny, reading back .... good wishes coming your way
7:57 am
PinnyPoppins

thanks mom
7:58 am
PinnyPoppins

i actually did that on friday ata - one of the 3 people interviewing me did the usual 'hi. how are you?' and i was like 'oh not great think i'm coming down with something apologies in advance if i have to leave in the middle of the interview i'm not crazy can i have some water' spiel
7:59 am
PinnyPoppins

anyway, off to the doctor in a bit to beg some emergency valiums
8:00 am

8:00 am

Xanax is better.
8:00 am
PinnyPoppins

how does xanax work? i've never tried it
8:00 am
Atalante

pinny, let me tell you an amusing story about panic attacks and job interviews ....
8:01 am
hego

it's anti anxiety drug. Not as sleepy as Valium
8:01 am
Atalante

I was going for my PhD interview at Bristol. Got into Temple Meads station, went to the loo, had a huge panic attack, staggered out of the loo, went to the basins to wash my face, smacked the back of my head on the tap, thought ow, and carried on. Got through the day - just - got back home, literally collapsed, and ended up in hospital for 3 days with severe concussion. And got the PhD place! So you can have panic attacks and make an idiot of yourself, and still succeed!
8:02 am
hego

great for fear of flying or job interview anxiety
8:02 am
hego

Oh, poor Ata!
8:02 am

We've tried collars with bells. He always slips them. I've read that they bells really don't warn the birds. Birds think it's another chirping bird. Sucks to be a bird in my neighborhood.

10:52 am

10:54 am
Aloyisius

a yellow-shafted flicker? Why do you hate him/her so?
10:54 am
CadFan

;) You see, it is a "protected migratory species" I am unable to do anything to deter it from pounding holes in the sides of my house... animals however - being natural predators, can do whatever they like
10:54 am
Judi

Se5/14: an orange is se*mented + negative.
10:55 am
Aloyisius

h'mm... I would check to see if you have some bugs in your wood
10:55 am

10:55 am
Riverdance

10:55 am
Aloyisius

squirrels are something else!
10:55 am
CadFan

Aside from the holes - it generally decides to start making noise at oh, about 4:30 am!!!
10:55 am
Riverdance

and thats firworks - thanks for your help
10:56 am
Judi

Ooh, CadFan - the guy who hosts "You Bet Your Garden" recommends that you hang something shiney and flappy on the side of your house to deter the woodpeckers. Best to check you don't have termites that they're trying to eat as well.
10:56 am
FMitch

Happily I don't have that problem in my garden, no squirrels or big birds.

Scrabbler

I am seeing lots of words that I didn't see in the morning.
12:09 pm
Scrabbler

Yep, not blocked here.
12:09 pm
Scrabbler

Are you still in the Bay Area, Bichon?
12:14 pm
Scrabbler

Is there anyone here that can clue?
12:14 pm
Haz1558

Would I do?
12:15 pm
Scrabbler

Yay Haz!
12:15 pm
Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler, how are you?
12:15 pm
Scrabbler

I have je4, je5, je4, je4. Clue for the 5th?
12:16 pm
Haz1558

There are three je4 after the je5/22. I'm guessing you don't have je plus not off.
12:16 pm
bichon

Yes, Scrabs, we're here til Wed. and then we have to leave. I'm returning in June
12:16 pm
Scrabbler

That's the one, TY.
12:16 pm
Scrabbler

Nice, Bichon.
12:16 pm
Haz1558

No problem.
12:17 pm
Scrabbler

I have yo4 + plural for 5. The 3rd?
12:17 pm
bichon

yo 4/9
12:17 pm
Haz1558

You need yo4/9 - on its way to being a dairy product.
12:17 pm
Scrabbler

Ty again, Haz.
12:17 pm
Haz1558

You're welcome.
12:19 pm
Scrabbler

I passed halfway!
12:19 pm
Haz1558

Well done!
12:20 pm
Scrabbler

I just noticed that we have a 9 and a 10. Clues please?
12:21 pm
Haz1558

ge10 - first four letters of the school subject where you study maps etc, the second part is descriptive of curious people (or almost the superlatively curious word, n7_
12:22 pm
Haz1558

The 9 is a plural for st8 - a kind of primitive elephant.
12:22 pm
Haz1558

st, a Freudian term (not id) and Mr Quixote's title.
12:23 pm
Haz1558

Or shortened Disney Duck, if you prefer!
12:24 pm
Scrabbler

I can't figure out the ending of the ge10. I tried amne*** but that didn't work.
12:24 pm
Scrabbler

TY for the st words
12:24 pm
bichon

think dinosaur ending
12:24 pm
HollyF

go8?
12:24 pm
Haz1558

If Les Miserables are known as the Glums, then Les Curieux should be known as the ? (think of the smelling feature on your face)
12:25 pm
Haz1558

go8 -superlatively like a bird.
12:26 pm
HollyF

Thank you Haz!
12:26 pm
Haz1558

You're welcome.
12:29 pm
Scrabbler

OK, I figured out go8 but not ge10 ending yet.
12:30 pm
bichon

think masto***, dinosaur ending
12:30 pm
Haz1558

no7 is descriptive of the most curious in a kind of slang way. Take the last letter away. Put this on the end of the four letters at the beginning of ge10.
12:31 pm
Scrabbler

TY, Haz, I finally got it!
12:31 pm
Haz1558

Relief!
12:32 pm
Scrabbler

I was focused on neurology words like amnesia, aphasia, agnosia and those endings.
12:32 pm
Haz1558

That's what comes of being too clever.
12:32 pm
Scrabbler

OK, my first kiddo of the afternoon has arrived. TY for your help. Bye.
12:33 pm

Bye, Scrabbler!

1:43 pm

LOL isn't that the way it goes ruby? I have a funny russian plum with the nicest tasting fruit, but it's a peculiar shape (and not just because it's the first tree I grew from a whip)
1:43 pm

1:43 pm
rubyfoo

what color is the plum?
1:44 pm
rubyfoo

we have two plums: one ordinary oblong purple but the other issmall, round and yellow but the names escapes me for the moment -- babblebrain!
1:44 pm
stidmama

the flowers are white, the plum is dark purpley-red with deep yellow flesh. it's "Komet of Kubansk" from a research station in Siberia, I think.

dcseain

hm. i'm at a loss for the st6 heavy and calorific food. So's my sister.
1:46 pm
rubyfoo

my only st6 is a dull, slow-thinking, conservative person
1:46 pm
stidmama

yes, it's the most wonderful jam ever, don't even need pectin unless I want it extra-firm.
1:47 pm
dcseain

oh, as a noun. ty
1:47 pm
stidmama

there is a pic from last summer on the website I think... hold on I'll find it.
1:47 pm
rubyfoo

aaah, mirabelles, those are my yellow plums
1:47 pm
stidmama

I love yellow plums!
1:47 pm
dcseain

i don't like stone fruit other than cherries as a general thing.
1:48 pm
rubyfoo

plums make the easiest jam but I use some jelly sugar, but less than the required amount
1:48 pm
stidmama

http://www.stidmama.com/?p=1268 from last august. it was very good jam last year.
1:48 pm
rubyfoo

some years we don't get any and other years everybody in the village has tons so when you get a visitor, she's always bearing plums or plum jam
1:49 pm
stidmama

I want to get a "schoolhouse" plum for the yard someday. It can replace one of the peaches that succumbed to curl.
1:49 pm
rubyfoo

my favorite, though, is red currant jelly. Unfortunately, it's a lot of work but it is wonderful to have it in the winter
1:49 pm
aebmusica

dsceain...have u tried dried tart cherries as a snack? so so yummy!
1:49 pm
dcseain

looks delish, stid
1:49 pm
dcseain

1:49 pm
stidmama

1:49 pm
dcseain

musica
1:49 pm
rubyfoo

what's a "schoolhouse" plum?
1:49 pm
rubyfoo

hi aeb
1:50 pm
aebmusica

hi stid!...ditto on the hugs
1:50 pm
rubyfoo

we have those, too, and I make my own creme de cassis!
1:50 pm
stidmama

we have currant bushes, but they don't produce well. I think they need more water and I haven't run drip lines out back yet.
1:50 pm
aebmusica

hi ruby
1:50 pm
stidmama

it's a yellow plum, heirloom around here, quite sweet and very nice for just eating off the tree.
1:51 pm
FMitch

Oh stiddy that jam looks so good, bet it taste great too.
1:51 pm
rubyfoo

the only problem I have with plums is that because we don't use any insecticide, sometimes they have worms
1:51 pm
stidmama

hm. bad smell. and the washer's ready for the dryer. need to go investigate. back soon.
1:51 pm
stidmama

FM, when you come visit, I will have a jar just for you.
1:51 pm
rubyfoo

it's the only thing I'm afraid of
1:51 pm
dcseain

my mom has a pear tree. we live on pear compote through the fall and winter
1:51 pm
FMitch

*gring*
1:52 pm
rubyfoo

I couldn't keep our pear tree alive and never got a single pear. I think it's too cold here or maybe it was just a bad spot in the garden
1:52 pm
FMitch

or grin even!
1:53 pm
dcseain

the pear tree was planted by my father in 1980, just barely under the weeping willow. Drought of 86 killed the willow, but the pear survives to this day.
1:53 pm
rubyfoo

we had a "sanguine" peach tree for a couple of years and the second year it bore fruit, it had about 300 wonderful peaches, and then it died.... gave its little heart out!
1:54 pm
rubyfoo

when we bought the house, 12 yrs ago, it had no garden and I had many trees planted
1:54 pm
rubyfoo

some of them are enormous now
1:54 pm
FMitch

Oh don't start me off on the garden centre route again ruby, am so wanting to buy everything to stock the garden.
1:55 pm
FMitch

1:55 pm
Atalante

we just have a quince tree, but I love wandering through the local fields - it's like an orchard with the amount of free plums and pears adn apples and and and
1:55 pm
rubyfoo

I need new lavender plants and want to buy a lilac, but it's still too cold at night to put in anything new
1:56 pm
rubyfoo

ata: in my facebook site, there are drawings I did of our quince, labelled "pears" unfortunately.
1:56 pm
Atalante

ooo I must look!
1:56 pm
rubyfoo

I keep them in the kitchen just for their scent, too lazy to make the jelly
1:57 pm
rubyfoo

there are five drawings
1:57 pm
Atalante

I do too, I must admit. Their scent is so exquisite
1:57 pm
Atalante

and sometimes just slice them up, dry them in the oven and use as pot pourri / drawer liners - get the scent through the year!
1:58 pm
rubyfoo

and the flowers are beautiful!
1:58 pm
rubyfoo

that's a great idea!
1:58 pm
Atalante

and far easier than trying to cook with them!
1:59 pm

2:02 pm

2:03 pm
FMitch

2:03 pm
stidmama

2:03 pm
stidmama

mmmmm. I have a large rosemary that blooms forever it seems. just gorgeous. It's even taller than the weeds and grasses around it! LOL
2:04 pm
rubyfoo

do you use it with leg of lamb?
2:04 pm
Atalante

yes, ty! I should be able to find it fine, she says hopefully. Do you know - just to make sure I'm thinking of the right junction - the turning onto the A27 (?) the big road from Worthing up to Horsham - is that the junction by the big McDonalds? (If you know)
2:04 pm
FMitch

lol stiddy
oh gosh I do ruby and with slivers of garlic too.
2:04 pm
stidmama

I can't eat lamb (only land animal I can eat is pig), unfortunately, but use the rosemary in all kinds of baking.
2:05 pm
stidmama

bottom row is grey!!!!
2:05 pm
rubyfoo

we buy halal lamb here as regular lamb is too strong-tasting for my husband

A small fire broke out in the walls of an apartment building in the 1800 block of Connecticut Ave. NW at about 4:30 p.m. No injuries have been reported and the fire is under control, but light smoke conditions still exist inside the building, according to D.C. Fire/EMS spokesperson Pete Piringer.

The fire broke out in the walls between the 4th and 5th floors at 1808 Connecticut Ave. NW, Piringer said.

Southbound lanes on Connecticut Ave. and Florida Ave. in both directions are closed in the immediate area while fire crews continue to work at the scene. Best to avoid this intersection on your commute home.

6:52 pm
bojazz

stid - don't follow your clue for the da7 - any other clue?
6:54 pm
stidgmere

da 7. The first part of the word da* is the first part of the word da*per which means spritley. Then, plural that. So now you have da**. Finish with the first number when counting ***.
6:56 pm
bojazz

da4/5 + first number? - that your clue?
6:56 pm
pippingeek

yes, bo
6:57 pm
stidgmere

da 4/5 is a place speakers stand. da**.
6:57 pm
bojazz

that's what i thought, but it don't compute on my computer :(
6:58 pm
bojazz

typing da4/5 (where speakers stand) + first number and get "not found"
6:58 pm
pippingeek

i feel stupid but my monkeys are tired - how about the je4 after the military vehicles but before the joke?
6:59 pm
pippingeek

bo - not where speakers stand, the one that rhymes with what you find in a road atlas
6:59 pm

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

7:42 pm
wht

There is the ge 10 for instance
7:42 pm
wht

It isn't yiddish
7:42 pm
pippingeek

just joking with you - but it would definitely make you the furry center of attention for a while!
7:43 pm

yeah, and then I'd have to get the suit dry cleaned. Ick hehehe
7:43 pm

Pippen, are you telepathic? Do I just have to think of the clue for you to get it?
7:45 pm
pippingeek

no, cause i still can't get the &*&%% ge10!
7:45 pm

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

The ge 10 and the go 8 are both being problems.
7:49 pm
mongie

Thanks, pipping. I will check it tomorrow.
7:49 pm
pippingeek

i felt the same way!
7:49 pm
pippingeek

stidg - the go8 starts with the go4 before it, then make it superlative
7:49 pm
mongie

I don't get quite the sense of accomplishment if I always have to ask for clues. :) So, figured I may as well leave it unfinished.
7:49 pm
wht

ge 10 starts like the study of maps and climate and so on. ****raphy.
7:49 pm
Shirlockc

go8 is most like the Christmas bird scrooge bought
7:50 pm

It ends with people who put their probiscus where it does not belong
7:50 pm

Wht, I have the beginning of ge 10 ... can't figure the rest out!
7:50 pm
pippingeek

much like the no7 but plural instead of superlative
7:51 pm
pippingeek

mongie, don't expect it to be a word, just follow the clues
7:51 pm

evening all....got 49 left, gave up earlier, but back now for more punishment, lol. this one is giving me fits with the long words, although I finally got the ge10, what a word!
7:54 pm
wht

ge10 Archaic. a science dealing with the constituent parts of the earth, its envelope of air and water, its crust, and the condition of its interior. Plural form.
7:57 pm
mongie

But if ge 10 starts with the top g, I can't see how to get around to the rest of it! I am missing something!!!!!
7:57 pm
wht

Start from the bottom g
7:58 pm
wht

Actually, it does start from the top g. It is just very twisty
7:58 pm
wht

I have found that it is better to type a word that to try to figure out how it works.
7:59 pm
wht

The babble software finds those twisty words much better than I do. Trust the clues.

10:39 pm

Easy to do with lack of sleep and a sticky old keyboard on a chog, but surely not on a chalkboard that you see every time you go outsid to replensh your veg stocks.
10:40 pm
Jacula

Harp - you haven't? You've never seen potato's, or potatoe's advertised? Nor tomatoe's or grape's? Gosh!
10:40 pm

PB for me, I just typed a grid word.
10:41 pm

10:42 pm
Jacula

Muchroom's is another one I've seen. LOL. That mistake must be partly due to all the Dad jokes.
10:42 pm
harpjane

No, I see it all the time, just hadn't heard the phrase "greengrocer's apostrophy" I knew right away what you mean!
10:43 pm
Jacula

Blooming heck, Harp! Is that tomorrow's theme. Excuse me while I go and open a door to cool off. I seem to be having a hot flush.
10:43 pm
harpjane

well, i'm a bit low on estrogen myself, jac.... the theme is vodka bottles
10:44 pm
Jacula

I'm a bit low on all the hormones, harp, since I am being weaned off my low-dose HRT tablets, but even so. WHEW! *WIPES SWEAT OFF BROW*
10:45 pm
Jacula

...And there was me thinking you were a church-going, harp playing woman.
10:46 pm
Jacula

I can see I'm going to have to resurrect my Jason Momoa in the surf pic to compete. LOL.
10:47 pm
Jacula

It proved to be a brilliant distracter.
10:47 pm
mkg

is lickety up?
10:47 pm
harpjane

10:47 pm

10:48 pm
Jacula

Good for you, Harp. I've no idea if Jason Momoa ever featured on a voddie bottle, but I'm going to use him anyway.
10:48 pm
Jacula

Good for you, Harp. I've no idea if Jason Momoa ever featured on a voddie bottle, but I'm going to use him anyway.
10:50 pm
mkg

any clues for the 9 or 10?
10:51 pm
Jacula

Speaking of leprosy, Harp. Have you ever been to Spinalonga, the former leper colony island just off Crete? Or have you read 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop? I was so peed off when that book came out, because she'd written what I'd already outlined and partly written after going there myself.
10:54 pm
aebmusica

clue for to4/6 please
10:54 pm
harpjane

wow, no i haven't but I'll be sure to be irritated if I read it!
10:54 pm
harpjane

slang for clothes aeb
10:55 pm
Jacula

Harp - LOL, but don't be, It's the account I would have done myself if she hadn't got there before me.
10:55 pm
harpjane

mkg the 9 is plural st8, more than one extinct elephant like animal
10:55 pm
aebmusica

ty harp...i thought i had put that in....but it wasn't there
10:56 pm
Jacula

mkg - it's not a mammoth or a mastodon.
10:56 pm
harpjane

is it a good book? i've been reading historical fiction about the crusades and am ready for something else
10:56 pm
mkg

dont know the animal. sorry.
10:57 pm
harpjane

do you have the st8?
10:57 pm
Jacula

harp - it is a good book, but better to read after you've visited the island and felt the souls of all who once lived there. That sounds kind of dramatic, but it's true.
10:58 pm
mkg

no. no st words yet.
10:58 pm
harpjane

well look for the st8 and then plural it, sounds like a combination of a dinosaur and a mafia boss
10:59 pm
Jellen

Ooh, got it! Thanks, harp and Jac!
10:59 pm
mkg

i now have st 5 10 and plural and st 5 12. no others.

11:02 pm
Jacula

I find in often helps in real life, too, Harp - which is bizarre to say the least.
11:02 pm
Jacula

Life that is, not the fact that it helps.
11:02 pm
mkg

i tought of the saurus but this works too i guess.

aebmusica

11:11 pm
mkg

no. didnt get the 10. sorry
11:11 pm
mkg

ty got ap 5
11:12 pm
Jacula

ge10 - first 3 letters of your schooling about the world, add a consonant, then add a word for what a snoop does all around.
11:14 pm
mkg

ge: i assume you mean subject where you study the world, so got that. then cons not sure. then i know the word. trying.
11:14 pm
Jacula

I really cannot do an easier clue than that.
11:14 pm
Jacula

Keep trying mkg.
11:14 pm
mkg

ty jac, will keep trying.
11:15 pm
Jacula

Well, thinking about it, the first 4 letters are your schooling word. Then the snoop.
11:15 pm
mkg

that comes to 9 letters. ge 3 letters, then one more cons. then snoop word is 5. am i correct?
11:16 pm
Jacula

See my last clue, mkg.
11:16 pm
mkg

ooooooooh.
11:16 pm
Jacula

mkg - are you on slow dial-up or fast broadband on here?
11:16 pm
mkg

fast.
11:17 pm
Jacula

fast dial-up (which does not exist) or fast broadband?
11:17 pm
mkg

well still not taking it. 4 letters of the study of the world, then cons. then 5 letters for snooping.
11:18 pm
Jacula

Try adding another vowel before the penultimate vowel, mkg.
11:18 pm
mkg

i give up. not taking it. the study of world is like magazine "National ****raphic" right?
11:18 pm
mkg

what is the penultimate voowel?
11:18 pm
Jacula

Haz - aaargh.
11:19 pm
Jacula

mkg - it is the one before the last, mkg.
11:19 pm
mkg

ok.
11:20 pm
mkg

well still not succeeding. sorry.
11:20 pm
Jacula

So, the prominent facial feature pluralled, gets a 'definite article' vowel in front of the penultimate vowel.
11:21 pm
mkg

what? nose isnt in grid. and isnt in this word is it? if so i am way off.
11:21 pm
Jacula

mkg - try 'not your bro' for the ending and then put the 2nd vowel before the last letter.
11:21 pm
mkg

oh my gosh. i just got it. wow.
11:22 pm
Jacula

Well done mkg. PHEW!
11:22 pm
mkg

well i was assuming the snoop was the sp 5 word. wow. ty for clues.
11:22 pm

11:30 pm
Jacula

11:31 pm
Jellen

11:32 pm
pippingeek

jellen, add two diminutive vowels after the do4 just before
11:32 pm
mkg

yes, it rhymes with sa 4 5.
11:32 pm
pippingeek

okay perfect mkg - now add the first numeral after that and you're good
11:32 pm
Jellen

Thanks, pipping
11:33 pm
pippingeek

and then you can pluralize too
11:33 pm
mkg

dihydroo etc. sorry but that is what it says. i dont see anything else.
11:34 pm
pippingeek

mkg - combine the da4/6 with number ***, two, three and that's the word
11:34 pm
mkg

well stumped by da 7 36 still. dont get it at all.
11:35 pm
Jacula

Daisy song was written by Harry Dacre in 1892 and very popular in English musica halls...There is a flower
Within my heart,
Daisy, Daisy!
Planted one day
By a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell!
Whether she loves me
Or loves me not,
Sometimes it's hard to tell;
Yet I am longing to share the lot -
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

We will go 'tandem'
As man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy!
'Peddling' away
Down the road of life,
I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark
We can both despise
P'licemen and 'lamps' as well;
There are 'bright lights’
In the dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

I will stand by you
In 'weal' or woe,
["weal" means prosperity] Daisy, Daisy!
You'll be the bell(e)
Which I'll ring you know!
Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You'll take the 'lead'
In each 'trip' we take,
Then if I don't do well,
I will permit you to
Use the brake,
My beautiful Daisy Bell!
11:36 pm
