hokie carla

I just clued it with the definition

9:35 am

cybernan

have the 1st 3 letters, but nothing working after that

9:35 am

penquis

the ending suggests that it has to do with the ovarian tubes....

9:36 am

penquis

ah...didn't see your post, carla...

9:36 am

penquis

the ending is an adjective ending.....like related to the duchess's husband...

9:36 am

hokie carla

just think of the things in your seeing organs that carry tears out. or the things in your house for the air con.

9:37 am

cybernan

thought that was the fallopian tube

9:37 am

penquis

at least it sounds like that....

9:38 am

cybernan

yes but there is no t

9:39 am

penquis

just omit the T...."sounds like" is what i said...

9:39 am

penquis

and sounds like applies to carla's clue...

9:39 am

cybernan

then I don't have the first 3 letters

9:41 am

cybernan

sorry - none of these clues are making any sense to be

9:41 am

penquis

ov + personal pronoun + most of an eider + adjective ending....

9:42 am

cybernan

9:42 am

penquis

ah....glad you found it....

9:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey everyone - Got a question. What time zone does the Grid run to? In regards to UTC - is it UTC-8:00 Pacific Time?

10:58 pm

licketySplitAUS

or is it UTC-5:00 Eastern Time?

10:59 pm

licketySplitAUS

Actualy I think it's UTC-6:00 Central Time. Does that make sense?

11:00 pm

jessmom

Yes, Central Time is correct.

11:01 pm

jessmom

Currently Central Daylight Time, so 5 hours behind

11:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

Thanks Jess. I worked out a way for my clues to refresh at the right time when daylight savings changes etc. Only took me 15 years to decide to set my computer to the same time zone as the grid - and then I don't have to adjust it 6 times a year. :)

11:03 pm

jessmom

You're welcome. Thanks so much for the clues and Babble Expert! I only recently started using it, and I've been here forever!

11:07 pm

licketySplitAUS

Your welcome Jess - love serving this wonderful community

11:20 pm

Rainiqui

Jess ~ How can I get Babble Expert?

11:28 pm

jessmom

Hi Rain, I've been using it just long enough to forget how to get it. If no one else chimes in, you could always email Lickety, his address is in his bio.

11:35 pm

Rainiqui

Thanks very much Jess !
