Haggis has a mystery-meaty taste, kind of like liverwurst, but with other flavors in it. As The Bard said, it's the "great chieftain o' the puddin' race!"

Jilli, wouldn't etuis be a nice thing to make a collection of? They are so charming
12:49 am

12:49 am

(that's you will get fireworks)
12:49 am
ZeStY421

isnt that latin?
12:49 am
jillibus

yes, sandy -- there are so many variations on the theme, aren't there!
12:50 am
jillibus

isn't what Latin? Etuis? It's French.
12:50 am
sandyloo

Me too robbie, I dont think I ever saw fireworks for about a year (I always wondered what the 'fireworks' were) I was too shy and reserved to ask.
12:50 am
robbie09

that's a very pretty one you have for your icon jilli!
12:50 am
ZeStY421

lol k oops. will someone tell me about the themes?
12:51 am
jillibus

I thought it was too, robbie.
12:51 am
sandyloo

icons are what we can put into the little pictures you see, and we do a little writeup on them, very educational
12:52 am
sandyloo

I always find the icon for the day by looking at sprite's profile - is there another way?
12:52 am
robbie09

I never realized they could stand on a table like that!..very nice!
12:53 am
jillibus

A babbler called sprite lists the daily icon themes in her profile. Any babbler can send it suggestions. Many players don't follow the themes, as you will have noticed. It's fun to look them up on Google and find images there.
12:53 am
ZeStY421

so the themes dont have to do with the words in the puzzle?
12:53 am
jillibus

You can find sprite in the Rankings, and her URL is http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz
12:53 am
robbie09

sometimes..lol
12:54 am
sandyloo

on Fridays we usually clue a word from the grid as the day's icon
12:54 am
robbie09

sometimes the icon theme is use a word in the grid
12:54 am

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, “My God, they killed them all!”

For somethin’ that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world

jillibus

well done, ruby!
1:57 am
ZeStY421

1:58 am
jillibus

most Tangleworders who come here already know a lot of the weird words
1:58 am
jillibus

and know about morewords etc

2:01 am
jillibus

2:01 am
ZeStY421

whoa SORRY
2:02 am
jillibus

as we've said before, this is a cooperative game, not a competitive one, so peop e really like to give clues -- it's fun too.
2:02 am
ZeStY421

yeah, i like the cooperative nature and chatting
2:03 am
jillibus

that was the hiccup which always happens at this time (2 am grid time)
2:03 am
Douglas

The nicicity of the people here is one of the great things about Babble
2:03 am
ZeStY421

lol, good to know, and sry bout my regurgitation
2:03 am
ZeStY421

too bad after 2 weeks apparently i wont get these amenities
2:04 am
jillibus

2:04 am

I am amused that ca5 ca5s off the west wall
2:05 am

you'll still get the chat and the clues and Lickety's list
2:05 am
jillibus

lol, doug -- it does!
2:05 am
ZeStY421

ok good lol, thats all i get now
2:06 am
jillibus

you get the tile stats now too, under the grid. You won't after 2 weeks
2:06 am
ZeStY421

lol dont understand them anyway! wont miss them!!
2:07 am
ZeStY421

again, thanks for answering all my ?s ... i know it must be annoying. but some stuff cant be answered by reading the instructions, ya know?
2:07 am
ZeStY421

ps- i'd like anyone that wants to, to add me to friends, since i cannot do so
2:07 am
jillibus

They are a good help, zesty -- they tell you how many words start with the letter in each tile
2:08 am
jillibus

There's no point in doing that, zesty.
2:08 am
ZeStY421

eh, they just confuse me and make me lose focus lol
2:08 am
ZeStY421

no point? eh?
2:09 am
gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for ca6-24? Thanks
2:09 am
jillibus

Let me give you a "for instance" -- there is only one word which starts with a Q. None start with the O next to it.
2:09 am
jillibus

Very simple.
2:10 am
ZeStY421

gotcha, but the same info can be found from the lickety, yes?
2:10 am
lynxxx

ca6.24 the person at the cash register is the cas****
2:11 am
jillibus

No, zesty, Lickety's list doesn't tell you which tile the word comes from. And sometimes Lickety doesn't post the list.
2:11 am
gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks, lynxxx.

I love YOUR etui, sprite!

your icon too, jilli, and your writeup, lovely
2:16 am
ZeStY421

ok doug- whats funny about er5/12
2:16 am
sprite

hehehe isn't it beautiful! But very very expensive. And I see I am wrong in my writeup, the english etui doesn't only mean needle holder. Let me correct.
2:16 am
jillibus

doug, that er 5 is a kind of heather (which can also be a girl's name)
2:16 am
flosey

hello again

2:17 am
flosey

thanks doug for the er words
2:17 am
jillibus

hi flosey -- sleepless in saltspring?
2:17 am
Douglas

Yeah, that it's one of the few words I know where both the word, and the meaning of the word, can be a girl's name...can't think of any others, can you?
2:18 am
ZeStY421

lol cant think of that one...
2:18 am
flosey

lol, Jilli - have you seen the moon? It's gorgeous, when I woke and came out it was so bright in here
2:18 am
jillibus

zesty -- another use for the tiles is that when you've found all the words which come from them, they turn grey so you know you needn't look for any more coming from there.
2:18 am
sandyloo

nice and interesting writeups sprite and jilli and Jilli what a good suggestion, I have learnt something
2:18 am
ZeStY421

our moon was huge and red last night- they say there is 'blood on the moon' when it is like that and it means that tonight someone will .....die! (old wives tale of course)
2:20 am
ZeStY421

ok does this er rhyme with anything?
2:20 am
ZeStY421

sandy- also means rough seas
2:20 am
sprite

Zesty, start with Mr Clapton's first name, then add a vowel to make it a girl's name.
2:20 am
flosey

Sprite, your pencases are lovely
2:20 am
jillibus

Zesty, E 0/1 meand that there is one word starting with E which comes from that tile, but you haven't found it. When you find it, it will say E 1/1 and turen grey.
2:21 am
sprite

thanks flosey
2:21 am
ZeStY421

oh geez, im dumb... ty lol
2:21 am
ZeStY421

and ty for not treating me like im an idiot!!!
2:21 am
ZeStY421

didnt know we could do proper nouns
2:21 am
sprite

sandy, that is no tale, it is the hard truth. Every night with a red moon somebody dies. Of course, every other night, people die too ;)
2:21 am
flosey

we've all been there Zesty
2:22 am
sandyloo

Zest, when I started I made the mistake of not asking and it took me ages to jell, your way is the way to go
2:22 am
sprite

we cannot, Zesty. Do proper names, I mean. No words that are capitalised. But some names are also normal words. Like the heather.
2:22 am
ZeStY421

well, lets pretend that the person who dies is an evil murderer person and the world is better w/o them
2:22 am
sandyloo

So true Sprite
2:22 am
ZeStY421

sry, im delerious.... been up for too long, ignore me
2:24 am
sandyloo

I have 12 c's and really wish that was my bra size
2:24 am
jillibus

Zesty, did you know that the ? beside the words in the list lead you to a definition?
2:24 am
Douglas

Some of the n's are a bit slangy, sandy
2:24 am
ZeStY421

12c? you'd be like a 7 year old silly
2:25 am
sprite

they usually are founded in some kind of truth, sandy, lol. But common sense tells us often enough it isn't something spectacular.
Oh didn't you love the word somewhen yesterday?
2:25 am
sandyloo

that made me see one thanks doug
2:25 am
ZeStY421

NOOOOO i didnot!!!
2:25 am
sandyloo

I would like to be 7 again and know what I know now
2:25 am
ZeStY421

however, that doesnt help for the words you dont have yet...
2:25 am

Lots to learn here ;)

god if I only don't ever have to be 7 again

that 'somewhen' I have never heard b efore

flosey -- too many clouds here, hiding most of the moon
2:26 am

somewhen was a word? In a grid?
2:26 am

yes, doug -- silly, eh?
2:26 am
flosey

I'd like to hear someone put the word into a sentence
2:27 am

2:27 am

one word at a time, Zesty, and don't feel dumb if you don't see them. most of us have been playing this game for quite a while and practice makes... nah, no way perfect, lol, not with babble. But less blind, yes.
2:27 am
ZeStY421

ask a drunk person flosey =)
2:27 am

I remember that grid because it had three w4's starting in whe

2:28 am

Zes: it is interesting to note that Sprite is one of the most accomplished Babblers and English is her second language (she is a hero)
2:28 am
ZeStY421

u guys crack me up, brb
2:28 am
ZeStY421

quite impressive
2:28 am

hahaha that is what somewhen means... some very unspecified time and place, or rather never
2:28 am
jillibus

I want to be like sprite when I grow up
2:29 am
flosey

Sprite, did you ever live in an English speaking country?
2:29 am
sprite

hey you guys are making me blush. And it isn't even true, Zesty, there are many babblers loads better than I am.
2:29 am
sprite

I wish, flosey
2:30 am
flosey

your English seems so natural Sprite
2:30 am
sprite

awww jilli you stole my line! I want to be like you when (if) I grow up.
2:31 am
jillibus

Hehe, sprite ;)
2:31 am
sprite

flosey: for the bigger part I owe that to you, I learn so much from the chat. And I read a lot of english, that helps too.
2:33 am
sprite

lol do you recognise this: you type in a weird word, it is valid and you wonder: where on earth did I see that before and how did I remember it is a word? And no idea what it means.
2:33 am
flosey

you are amazing sprite - I am ashamed to admit, I don't even speak French - it wasn't compulsory when I was in lower school
2:35 am
flosey

I always wished they had made both French and English compulsory from very early schooling
2:36 am
sprite

I am nothing special. And why be ashamed? English is a world language, so one can expect to be able to use it in many places. Dutch is... well... lol. I think even Afrikaans is better known than Dutch. We must learn other languages or we cannot communicate. And as a trade nation, we always realised that so it is common here to speak a bit of several languages.
2:36 am
sprite

oh yes that would have been great, flosey. Learning a language is so easy when you are a child.
2:36 am
sandyloo

Sprite, I think you might be slightly special
2:36 am
melissamay

sprite, I've been around here a long time, and I can tell you: you are something special. :D

so nice to see you, btw, melissa! How've you been and how is the music going?
2:38 am
Douglas

The rankings, both Cream of the Crop and Village Elders, dispute your claim that there are many Babblers better than you. A few with higher rankings
2:38 am
melissamay

We made sprite blush! Hee hee, we win.
2:39 am
sprite

I always feel the rankings express how stubborn one is, not how good. I hate to leave a grid unfinished, always wondering if there are new words to learn.
2:40 am
melissamay

Aw sprite, it's been a long while hasn't it? Thank you so much for asking, we're still making music and plugging along. I just started playing again after a long hiatus and couldn't resist saying hi when I saw you here.
2:41 am
Douglas

But stubborn has negative connotations. How about "blindly persistent in the face of all reason and common sense?" No wait, that didn't come out right
2:41 am
sprite

yes missed seeing you here! Glad you are still playing. It may not make you a millionaire but it must be so great to do what you really love.
2:41 am
sprite

errrrr well Douglas, exactly!
2:42 am
sandyloo

Sprite, I hear what you are saying and now I am trying to get over that feeling so I can play and still go and do other things
2:43 am
sprite

babble took me too much time in the early days, but now I am fast enough to finish grids and still have plenty of time for other things, so I don't try to kick the habit ;)
2:43 am
melissamay

It's helpful when you never have millionaire illusions, ha. But yes, it's great doing what I love after years of daydreaming about it and just deciding it was worth the work even if it would never be my "job". It's a privilege to be able to follow a creative passion.
2:43 am
sandyloo

Oh no! Nicky is watching that 'reflection of real life show" The Bold and the Beautiful (I dont like it)
2:44 am
Douglas

But persistent is a pretty good word, just by itself
2:44 am

true, Douglas. We could hide behind persistent and look pretty normal.
2:44 am

good one Doug

2:45 am

I always thought you were so sharp, Sprite, even in the early days...it's rather scary to suppose you've gotten even better. But I'll stop making you blush now.
2:46 am
sandyloo

Sprite, I hope your seemingly intimate knowledge does not mean you are an avid viewer
2:46 am
sprite

no it is not that easy, Zesty, not a very common word. It is what you breathe + a consonant. And when you have found it, put a C before it.
2:46 am
Douglas

Add a nurse, zesty
2:47 am
sprite

lolllll sandy, years and years ago, the daughter of a friend of mine was hooked on it. I lived with them and saw more of it than I cared to.
2:47 am
ZeStY421

lmao okay, you both have confused me to no end! i should stop asking for help because honestly, im dumbfounded... okay... lets see how long this takes me lol

if I were really that sharp, I could find biggies earlier in the game.
2:50 am
sprite

you sandy? Nah! *giggles*
2:50 am
Douglas

If it comes down to it, zesty, just try all the 4-letter words that start with ai... no wait, that didn't come out right
2:51 am
ZeStY421

I DID!
2:51 am
melissamay

By that metric, I'm about as sharp as safety scissors.
2:51 am
sandyloo

that reminds me ...wine o'clock is approaching
2:51 am
jillibus

for what you breathe, zesty, start with the A in the 2nd row. Then the I below it. Then look up to the right, and then up again over the A.
2:51 am
sandyloo

lol jilli
2:51 am
sprite

take the word for the stuff you breathe, Zesty.
Then check in the grid which consonants could follow. Only 5 consonants are possible.
2:51 am

I have 3 7's but no 8 or 9
2:54 am
jillibus

Zesty, did you follow my directions?
2:54 am
ZeStY421

"to the letter"
2:55 am
jillibus

Well, it should have given you the word. I can't be any plainer than that without spelling it out.
2:55 am

even infoplease doesn't have any more than that, jilli. Iron it is... god I love Scots.
2:55 am

just let it be for now and co4 back to it later, Zesty. Babble blindness is something we all know.

2:57 am

where are you zesty?
2:57 am
jillibus

I can't understand why you can't get the word from the directions I gave you at 2:51 grid time
2:57 am
ZeStY421

i guess i should feel better then, that i couldnt get it lol
2:58 am
ZeStY421

NY, i donno! i typed in every single possibility, repeatedly, starting with jill's suggestion
2:58 am
sprite

I think Babble should never make anyone feel bad. It is a game, it should be fun. We all have our blind moments and in the beginning even more, because everything is new. Once you feel comfortable with the grid, you will find that your tangleword experience is a big help.
2:59 am
ZeStY421

lol ty sprite, and it does help, for the first half of the words =)

I don't think you saw the directions I mean, zesty. I'll repeat them here:
An etui (also spelt etwee) is a woman's ornamental case, usually carried in a pocket or purse, but some are made to stand on a table. They hold small tools for daily use such as folding scissors, bodkins, needles, hairpins, tweezers, makeup pencils, etc. Some etuis were also used to carry doctors' lancets. These boxes were made of different materials such as wood, leather, ivory, silver, gold, tortoise shell, mother of pearl, and shagreen.
The most common type of decorative box is the feminine work box. It is usually fitted with a tray divided into many small compartments for needles, reels of silk and cotton, and other necessaries for stitchery. The date of its origin is unclear, but 17th-century examples exist, covered with silk and adorned with beads and embroidery. No lady would have been without her work box in the 18th century. In the second half of that century, elaborate pains were taken to make these boxes dainty and elegant.
On the other hand there is another one shown which is a silvery metal and very small -- a flattish tube about 3" (8.5 cm) long x 1½" (4.2 cm) wide -- and contains tools for daily use. They include folding scissors, pencil, fork, knife, corkscrew, bodkin, tweezers, ear pick (!), and an ivory writing board. There is a soft leather wrap for it.
Goodnight Zesty, but if you haven't gone, I don't think you saw the directions I gave, so here they are again:

The most common type of decorative box is the feminine work box. It is usually fitted with a tray divided into many small compartments for needles, reels of silk and cotton, and other necessaries for stitchery. The date of its origin is unclear, but 17th-century examples exist, covered with silk and adorned with beads and embroidery. No lady would have been without her work box in the 18th century. In the second half of that century, elaborate pains were taken to make these boxes dainty and elegant.
On the other hand there is another one shown which is a silvery metal and very small -- a flattish tube about 3" (8.5 cm) long x 1½" (4.2 cm) wide -- and contains tools for daily use. They include folding scissors, pencil, fork, knife, corkscrew, bodkin, tweezers, ear pick (!), and an ivory writing board. There is a soft leather wrap for it.
Zesty, in case you haven't left and did see the directions I meant, here they are again:
start with the A in the 2nd row. Then the I below it. Then look up to the right, and then up again over the A.

lynxxx, apparently the treatment (which will probably be for life) is quite simple and effective. If I'd let her go on, she'd have ended up obese, with hair loss and being even more lethargic.

3:29 am
herinfernallady

Ok question. If an advert had a man with 2 girls advertising tools and then slaps them on the butt as they walk passed would that be deemed sexist and taken off tv?
3:29 am

And have you chosen the fabric already, FM?

where is Ata, btw? She will love to see that 'acri' is in the grid.

do the ladies object, lady?
3:29 am

Yes Haz, a very pale cream with a slight same colour pattern.
3:30 am
Haz1558

I don't know, herin. It seems to be entirely acceptable to depict men as complete idiots. Women are a different matter.
3:30 am
FMitch

Ata is away for 2 weeks.
3:30 am
herinfernallady

no but the point is if this was the reverse of the ad I just saw at 630pm I am sure it would be taken off tv.
3:30 am
sprite

sounds lovely, FM.
3:30 am

Herin I think here in the UK an ad like that would be allowed.
3:31 am
Haz1558

We have an advert for oven cleaner 'So simple, even a man could use it'.
3:31 am

here it wouldn't be a problem, though it wouldn't be a success.
3:31 am
herinfernallady

aO and there is a car ad that has a man oglying at a lass wearing short shorts and the comment is ''You catch the bus because you like the view'' sigh
3:31 am
sprite

lolllllllll Haz really? Now that is sexistical...
3:32 am
Haz1558

It annoys me, to be honest, because time and time again, men are depicted as being morons. I know it's a reaction against women being depicted as dumb and for decoration only, but two wrongs don't make it right.
3:32 am
herinfernallady

I would like to say that even the instructions would have to be man proof. They can't even check the bread ties to see if the bread is funky BEFORE it leaves the store
3:33 am
sprite

indeed. Things would be so much more pleasant if we just could all agree that men and women aren't the same, but are equals.
3:33 am
Haz1558

Instructions? You expect instructions to be read? That goes against the desire to experiment and explore.
3:34 am
herinfernallady

Haz you would love this advert for Foxtel that has a man being typically sexist 'woman likes the cooking channel and there is the sports'' Cuts to him pulling a cake out of the oven that he just made and her yelling about getting her a drink
3:34 am
FMitch

Men dont read instructions or maps!
3:34 am
sprite

they like figuring things out for themselves. And shouldn't things be self explanatory anyway?
3:35 am

Maybe thats why men invented satnav so they could ignore a woman telling them what to do *grin*

Mum used to say ''don't make me get up and find it'
3:39 am
Haz1558

It's more likely to be the other way round in our house. Husband is tidy to a fault and will remember where he put something a year ago. Unless I've shifted it in the meantime, of course!
3:41 am
sprite

hehehe Haz, nice image. Actually, the concept of 'male' and 'female' brains is rather flexible. Some women have brains that work in a more 'male' way and vice versa.
3:42 am
Haz1558

My sister-in-law is a science teacher in a secondary school. At first she taught only girls then, about ten years ago, boys joined the school. She sees a vast difference in the way they behave and need to be taught.
3:43 am
Haz1558

If you say to the girls, 'This is dangerous, you must stand back', the girls stand back. The boys surge forward, trying to get as close to the action as possible.
3:43 am
Haz1558

If you say 'Don't turn the controls beyond 5, the apparatus will be damaged', the girls won't turn it up beyond 3. The boys will have it up beyond 5 just to test and see if the warning was correct.
3:44 am
sprite

it is exactly like that here with my boy and girl.
3:44 am
herinfernallady

I would do taht Haz
3:44 am
Haz1558

She's found it quite interesting, but frustrating at the same time.
3:45 am
herinfernallady

I would be the one taht would go and see if it would explode
3:46 am

I can imagine. Having a mixed class means you cannot satisfy both at the same time. Not easy.
3:47 am

See I am the kind of person that has to turn the Iron to 5 to see what happens. Then again what is an iron
3:47 am

pushing the limits, huh lady ;)
3:47 am
Haz1558

But she does like the way the boys have their arguments but get over them quickly instead of the girls who brood and fret and keep arguments going for weeks.
3:48 am
Haz1558

PHone...
3:48 am
herinfernallady

I much rather like teh way boys deal with things. Snot each other then shake hands and get on with it. Girls just bitch and carrier on
3:50 am
Haz1558

Exactly. Girls divide up and take sides and perpetuate the hurt, boys get it out of their system and carry on.
3:50 am
sprite

yep, very different. I also see a huge difference in how my boy and girl are acting up in puberty now. My son is moody, rude and tests our patience with his disobedience. My girl is emotional, manipulative and cannot stand any criticism.
3:51 am
Haz1558

That sounds normal, sprite.
3:51 am
Haz1558

They will both come through eventually, but it's a bit of a test of patience all round.
3:52 am
sprite

oh yes, I know it is. Just watching them being so very different.
3:52 am
herinfernallady

I was both
3:53 am
Haz1558

My only advice is to choose your fights but stand firm when it's important. They will thank you for it eventually.
3:53 am
sprite

I kind of like it. Not all the time, of course. But seeing them wrestle with all those hormones and testing all boundaries... I don't know, it is heroic too. And they are still lovely people, in between.
3:53 am
Haz1558

When they're about 30 and have seen sense...
3:54 am
sprite

thanks, that is good advice. One thing I have had to learn in general was to pick my battles. Will remember to do so more with my children now, indeed.
3:54 am
Haz1558

In the meantime, just get used to being someone who knows nothing, who understands less and who was never young.
3:54 am
sprite

*grins* ...have seen sense fly by
3:55 am
herinfernallady

Ok who made up one of those 8s
3:56 am
sprite

it's funny, but I can see that standing firm sometimes relaxes my son. I mean, he is mad and angry and slams with the doors and all if we say no. But on the other hand it is like he feels safe when we are clear about a certain boundary.
3:56 am
sprite

I have one and I love it, lady
3:56 am
herinfernallady

I was a door slammer. Nothing beats slamming a door
3:57 am
Haz1558

Absolutely - I think by you imposing the boundary, you excuse him from having to explain why he can't do something that he may not really want to do. 'My parents won't let me' sounds better than 'I don't want to.'
3:59 am
sprite

oh yes, that is true. I had an awful and nonstandard puberty and I love to see how our children are able to do it the 'normal' way. It is a tough battle on one hand, but it is also so very natural on the other.
4:00 am
sprite

lady, I have both 8s. They are both normal words! Want clues?
4:01 am
herinfernallady

I didn't know what it was!
4:59 am

socage: a tenure of land held by the tenant in performance of specified services or by payment of rent, and not requiring military service.
4:59 am
Sally-catlover

So now you know :-)
5:00 am

well technically, i hold socage, but i'm telling you, i don't hold it lightly

Socage must be the top of the line tenancy if you do not have to go to war.
5:03 am
Sally-catlover

I suppose it's what we would call a tied tenancy, happens a lot on farms.
5:03 am

5:05 am

5:06 am
Sally-catlover

The accommodation goes with the job so if they leave, they have to find somewhere else to live :-)
5:06 am
BabbleRabble

Socage (pronounced /ˈsɒkɨdʒ/[1]) was one of the feudal duties and hence land tenure forms in the feudal system. A farmer, for example, held the land in exchange for a clearly-defined, fixed payment to be made at specified intervals to his feudal lord, who in turn had his own feudal obligations, to the farmer and to the Crown. In theory this might involve supplying the lord with produce but most usually it meant a straightforward payment of cash, i.e., rent.

In this respect it contrasted with other forms of tenure including serjeanty (the farmer paid no rent but had to perform some personal/official service on behalf of his lord, including in times of war) and frankalmoin (some form of religious service). For those higher up the feudal pyramid, there was also knight-service (military service) as a condition of land tenure.

The English statute Quia Emptores of Edward I (1290) established that socage tenure passed automatically from one generation to the next (unlike leases). As feudalism declined, socage tenure increased until it became the normal form of tenure in the Kingdom of England. In 1660, the Statute of Tenures ended the remaining forms of military service and all free tenures were converted into socage.

The holder of a soc or socage tenure was referred to as a socager (Anglo-Norman) or socman (Anglo-Saxon).
5:07 am

Merk

Hi, Scrabbler. I'm trying to get my long words finished b4 I have to disconnect and continue traveling. Is there a clue for the other 8 and the 9 please.
6:11 am
Haz1558

hu9 - weather so windy it gets its own name.
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

the 9 is hu 9, think wild winds
6:12 am

Lovely clue, Haz.
6:12 am

How's Spangle doing Haz
6:14 am
Haz1558

She's okay, bichon, not getting worse at least! It'll take a week or two for her to get back to normal.
6:14 am
Merk

Any 7s that you think will stump me while offline?
6:15 am
Scrabbler

What happened to Spangle?
6:15 am
Merk

I see we have another 'ic' grid. That has added a lot of words this week.
6:15 am
Haz1558

Most of the 7s I've found so far are normal, but then I haven't finished...
6:15 am
Haz1558

She's been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Scrabbler.
6:16 am
Scrabbler

Phew, at least that is easily treated.
6:16 am
bichon

Yes, you can treat that as opposed to old age
6:16 am
Haz1558

Absolutely, she'll be herself again for which I'll be very grateful.
6:16 am

that's good

That's a nuisance, it's always useful to check on previous clues etc.
6:22 am
City 17 dweller

Is it really? You learn something new, etc...
6:22 am
Haz1558

And how else do you keep tabs on everyone?
6:23 am
Merk

I was going to open it before I disconnect so I could check back. No such luck today. My IE continues to irk me, too.
6:23 am
Merk

Right.
6:25 am

I must be off for now. Any clues needed?

The Oxford English Dictionary cites a 1913 reference to the verb gorp, meaning "to eat greedily".
it is most likely a "backronym" -- "a phrase constructed after the fact to make an existing word or words into an acronym."

well, they handed me what i thought was a copy of the document i already had, with a few notes on it, which i knew were coming.
then, as im flipping through it, i realize that its not the exact same document, its the document with the notes i knew were coming AND some extra additions that no one mentioned when handing it to me.
so now ive gone through it, highlighted all the additions/changes i knew nothing about so now i can go ask about them.

well I just found the 9, my only defence is that we don't have them here
4:22 pm
Aloyisius

lots and lots of them here, I'm afraid.. season starts Jun1
4:23 pm
lynxxx

Very scary.
4:24 pm
Aloyisius

indeed.. we are in the town that was wiped out by Charley.. took over two years to get back to some semblance of normalcy.. fortunately our house was built to the newer standards, so just minor damage
4:25 pm
lynxxx

can people even get insurance for it?
4:26 pm
Aloyisius

yes.. but everyone's rates went up ... ins. comp. dropped them so they had to get a state-backed ins.
4:27 pm
Aloyisius

"Citizen's" insurance
4:27 pm

Good that you have such a thing

4:30 pm
Aloyisius

so, ya never know
4:31 pm
Aloyisius

do you ever have severe weather?
4:33 pm
lynxxx

Rarely. Though we had a severe if brief hailstorm a few months ago which did $7M damage. I guess bushfires in Summer are our main problem. Cyclones up in North bringing floods as well

4:44 pm
Aloyisius

maybe your biorhythm is on the low part of its cycle.. tomorrow will be better
4:45 pm

probably, Aloy - maybe my body just adjusting the change in diet. I've spent my entire 19 years as a ball of energy and I don't intend to stop now! :)
4:46 pm
lynxxx

With both day and night shifts your body just can't get into a routine.
4:46 pm
Aloyisius

what did you change in your diet?
4:46 pm
lynxxx

change in diet? from your mothers cooking?
4:47 pm
Nancy Boy

true that, Lynx - and lol, no! I recently went back to veganism - still eating healthily but body must get used to the lack of meat and dairy. Though personally I don't miss it
4:48 pm

I've a co 4/5 to do a story of clues for you. I usually do story of clues after I finish puzzle, but the end is an5/10 so here it is. I ar5/10 this morning hoping to finish the grid.Sometimes I can't co4/6 with the grid So4/5 puzzles make me want to pull out all my ha4/5. Other times my brain gets very so 4/4 from thinking too hard.However, this puzzle is not too bad. I don't like to im 6/24 on babblers by begging for clues. So if the puzzle is hard,I just hi4/5 some monkeys to help Some4/5times the monkey becomes a cr 5/12 and cr 5/12. Or my monkey becomes a mo5/14 and mo 5/14 around doing nothing.Or the monkeys act like im4/6 and they refuse to help which ir 4/4 me mo 4/5 than anything. But if my monkeys are helpful they ea 4/4 bananas which I keep ne 4/4 to them. Now I he 4/5 my hubby approaching to use computer. So I'm going to watch my soap op 5/12. I do not ca 4/5 if I finish the grid. It's ra 4/4 for me to get fireworks anyway.
