12:31 am
sfneil

Hugs no one did. I am still quite eager to find out, as the grid's spelling was the only one I've ever seen.
12:32 am
mab

My websters spells it as it was in the puzzle. Perhaps the British spelling is different.

I'm curious too. I even did some searches with variations and nothing came up... at least nothing English.

R6/18
12:33 am
sfneil

I wondered at one point if it had been confused with another word. But even then, I'm very curious as to what word that could be?
12:34 am
Jacula

A Frankie Laine song I'm listening to, after Rawhide -
My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry,
Wingin' north in the lonely sky.
Tried to sleep, it weren't no use,
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose,

(Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)

Woman was kind and true to me.
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she.
She's got a love that ain't no use,
To love a brother of the old wild goose.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
12:35 am
Blaze

I am curious what word are you talking about ??
12:35 am
mab

Sinatra, The Wave, 'the fundamental lonliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together...'
12:36 am
Jacula

122 words.
Not quite sure about the maths and the stats. I'm not sao good on that.
12:36 am
mab

Ennead?
12:36 am
Uneaixoise

o7/36
12:36 am
sfneil

I guess it's okay to say it now, right? The word was "ennead", meaning a group of nine. But several players expressed surprise that the "real" way of spelling it, even though (apparently) it was in the grid, was not accepted.
12:37 am
Jacula

Blaze - I was talking about Babblers, as Mab has realised. It wasn't a word clue.
12:38 am
sfneil

I am curious to know what spelling is considered authentic by those who were complaining.
12:38 am
Blaze

Jac I was asking about the Hug and sfneil word... I am listening to Rod Stewart in his new colleciton of Sinatra songs...etc....
12:40 am
Daria

morning folks
12:41 am
Blaze

Thanks unea ... it helps to have babble buddies
12:41 am

Hi Daria! Have you recovered from yesterday's grid yet?
12:41 am
sfneil

...and Babble bubbles, yes?
12:42 am
Blaze

You bet your sweet....babble bubbles....
12:42 am
Jacula

sorry folks! May be only one or two understand me posting the wild goose song after the last grid.:-(
12:43 am
Hugabugs

Can I get some bubbles coming from a glass?

not quite hugs, since I just finished it a few hrs ago. ;)

Frankie Laine - 'Don't Fence Me In'- must bemy theme song.:-))
12:46 am
Hugabugs

On occasion... I don't make a habit of it! But after yesterday's, I feel a need to celebrate just for surviving!
12:46 am

Me, too, Jacula! Not a fan of the bubbly... (I actually do like flat champagne... talk about a plebe!)

sfneil, that is seriously awesome.
12:49 am
Jacula

Lol Neil, if it were appropriate, I'd cite the track I'm listening to now - 'Strange Lady in Town'... still by Frankie Laine,
12:50 am
LmyBs

LOL ROTFLMAO
12:51 am
Jacula

Neil, believe me, that first, followed by Lynyrd Skynrd's Free Bird and Elton John's Skyline Pigeon sure gets the message across!

r6/27

I think this is a first.... I have the r's done before any other letter. usually it's one of my last
12:54 am
Jacula

faces, music, words and aromas... the last thing we all remember in our dotage. Believe me, I know! Anyone who 'knows' me by now, will know what I mean by that.
12:54 am
melissamay

sfneil, I just noticed your question below: the word is properly spelled enneatic. Since it was actually possible to spell it correctly in the puzzle, it was a bit annoying to have the incorrect spelling be the only acceptable entry.
12:55 am
sfneil

Jacula, I plan to stipulare for David Byrne's version of DFMI on the occasion of my own demise.
12:55 am

70s heavy rock. (Preference) But as I saidm eclectic really, Glen Miller onwards does it for me.... depends on the mood and the moment. And don't forget the classics!

No, Jac, it's Hevl -- where misspellers go when they kick the bukcet. Now let's all play "pretend the real keeper doesn't exist", shall we?
1:03 am
sfneil

melisasmay: ah! consonant creep! there is no way any form of this word from the greek original would have contained a 't'. enneas ("nine") becomes ennead(-) in the combining form. Something must have happened while I wasn't looking if people think of "enneatic" before "enneadic"!
1:03 am

I am not sure if their grief would be any less if we would all have suffered the same fate. At least now there are people like you and me who can spare them prayers, good thoughts and perhaps help.

I agree with Sprite... we or the ones who go to help like baggo are needed..No ying without yang

Hi Hugs! I hate this grid. It's making me feel very stupid.

Hi Neil - I agree. The words are coming few and far between. I keep wanting to do seascape and escape, even though there's no P.
1:01 pm
Hugabugs

You should see my grid. I've got only the outside and the C shaded. It looks like a big O.
1:02 pm

Thank you Doogle for you kind post.
8:22 pm
katmayo

This is only my 2nd day playing and have not read all the rules---Heil Doogle! goodnight
8:22 pm
Doogle

katmayo - Hey, I'm just asking you to not list words that are in the grid. Not meaning to be mean or anything, but I think you realize that the rest of us are trying to figure the words out. Hokay?
8:24 pm
patact

Perhaps a kinder and gentler posting would have been more appropo... sometimes there are new people who may not realize the rules, or are so caught up in the game they type it in error. To err is human...
8:27 pm
Doogle

I apologize for the ruffling of feathers. I thought that by using "please" I was not being blatantly impolite. No rudeness was intended.
8:27 pm
Eva

I'm going blind and just can't see most of the se's. I have the spanish mister, the deep blues, the detection machine (s). Could some kind soul spare a few clues?
8:31 pm

8:41 pm
Doogle

Quite well, thanks. Been to the horse races, seen the Seldom Scene, had breakfast in bed in a Bavarian-style chalet, and did most of my Xmas shopping. An atypically busy weekend for me! Seems kind of surreal when I write it all down...
8:42 pm
baggo

well how great is that...i worked, went to a 6 course french meal, drank way too much, grocery shopping..gto extremely wet in the rain from rita...not near as fun as you, nor as impressive when written down... 8-/
8:44 pm
Doogle

The eating and drinking certainly sounds good! :)
8:45 pm
baggo

ooooh it was wonderful! the dranking fun until i woke up and had 3 kids to take care of..that are usually so quiet until my head hurts...patience patience patience...love the eye by the way...
8:45 pm
baggo

ty brandyjack...i just found anj's earlier post of the ss's i have the sa one, it's an se18, that i shall begin noodling for...ty ty again...;)
9:43 pm
Eva

baggo,

Am I right that you are missing one of the se6/18's? I have 2 of them. One is an electronic detection device and the other is the plural of males south of the border.

Can I trade you for the sa6/18 which is what I am missing?
9:46 pm
brandyjack

now which border might we be talking about............
9:47 pm
Eva

oops- sorry for the vagueness - the North American border.
9:47 pm
brandyjack

Sa6 is plural of the sa5/10
9:49 pm
Eva

yes, and wouldn't it be lovely if I had that sa5, but I've struck out terribly with the sa's tonight. I keep wanting to find sasquatch, or however you spell it, and hallucinating things which don't exist anywhere in the puzzle, let alone the universe.
9:50 pm
Eva

Just a few minutes and then I'm going to hang it up. I'm not going to finish anyway.
9:52 pm
brandyjack

members of the clan of hashishan, with some missing pieces
9:53 pm
baggo

eve, teh sa5 and sa6 are antelopes..(def) but think of a smart mouthed child with only one consonant in the middle.. blaze did you just come on cause your icon just changed...
9:53 pm
Doogle

Yes, Blaze - we do monitor your icon for change. It's how we keep tabs on you. ;)
9:56 pm
baggo

and you know doogle, with that eye staring at me..it lets me know you're watching...brandyjack you went back to your old one too... 8-/

Kr4/8 Sikhe (sp?) ceremonial sword
10:00 pm
calicomo

Thank you, I got it.
10:05 pm
brandyjack

I think I go that missing se6/18 when I fat-fingered another word...
Braided cordage formed by plaiting several strands of rope fiber or similar material.
Plaited straw, grass, or palm leaves for making hats.
10:05 pm
Eva

Thank you all! Finally got the 2 sa's!! Couldn't find the antelopes in google, but the clan of hashishan kept haunting me and suddenly AHA! Now I can go to sleep.
10:06 pm
brandyjack

Going to sleep thinking of that clan is not a very settling thing.....
10:07 pm
melissamay

Hi everyone! I'm missing the first se 6/18 that can be expanded to an se 7/28. May I have a clue?
10:07 pm
CadFan

How many se 6/18's are there?
10:07 pm
calicomo

May I have a hint for the r8 please
10:08 pm
baggo

cadfan there are a total of 3 se/18
10:08 pm
melissamay

There seem to be 3 -- I have one for Spanish gentleman and the other for electronic device.
10:08 pm
brandyjack

3. The one I just found, the spanish male pronoun, and some elecetronic device.
10:08 pm
Eva

Thinking of hashish, on the other hand, is indeed soporific. I began to look for other words and slapped myself upside the head with a stern NO. This is just terrible for the neck, shoulders, back. I need a masseuse after I play.
10:09 pm
CadFan

Oh, duh, yes, I have 3
10:10 pm
melissamay

Ah brandyjack, I see your posting right below for my missing se6! Nevermind, then :)
10:10 pm
baggo

calicomo, think of what could be said about one's cheeks after playing out in the cold...
10:10 pm
Eva

calicomo, think of an adjective for the color of the sky at dawn.
10:11 pm
Doogle

Actually a noun that describes the quality or state of being that adjective. I know... picky Doogle. :)
10:11 pm
baggo

doogle, you nail me everytime....lol
10:12 pm
Eva

Very right - I knew something was wrong but couldn't think of how to say it. Many, many years since grammar classes.
10:14 pm
Eva

Goodnight.
10:14 pm
baggo

night eva..
10:16 pm
calicomo

Got it thank you. That's all the r's
10:22 pm

I've passed 1000 so I can go sleep now. Good nite all. Thank you for the help.....
10:23 pm
baggo

10:28 pm
Doogle

That implies completion, Baggo. Congrats! Me, I'm a-slogging. :-|
10:30 pm
baggo

10:32 pm
melissamay

baggo, I could use some help getting the first ac5/14 -- the clue berries or granulations was posted earlier but I still can't find it. Thanks!
10:37 pm
baggo

melissamay...how about this... one of the small sacs or saclike dilations in a compound gland
10:39 pm
melissamay

baggo, thanks very much for sticking around to help me find that!
10:54 pm
Doogle

And... done. Whew. This one was unusually tough for its size. G'night all.
11:37 pm
Jera

Can't get that ac word (sac)... how does it end?? I can't make -us reach...
11:39 pm
baggo

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
11:41 pm
Jera

11:41 pm
mab

Jera: it ends with the feature in the middle of your face.
11:43 pm
mab

Jera: synonym for smallness.
11:48 pm
Jera

I can't believe I can't find those middle 2 lettlers...
11:50 pm
plurple

jera what are you looking for?
11:52 pm
Jera

The long ti... can't hook up beginning & ending...
11:52 pm
Doogle

Jera - think the most wee of scottish lakes... ;)
11:53 pm

11:53 pm
baggo

jera think of bubbles in your wine
11:54 pm
Jera

You're very kind to think I have ro8/40, LOL!
11:55 pm
baggo

the quality or state of ones cheeks after being out in the cold...(ro/8)...how's that doogle?
11:55 pm
plurple

hahaha okay...
hmm..
it uses the 2nd to last row, all letters except O
an N from the last row,
and an E S S from some other rows.
11:56 pm
plurple

you have 5 minutes, GO!
11:56 pm
Doogle

Or how about a type of foil, a woman's name, and an extra sibilant at the end.
11:56 pm
Jera

ty plurple, I was trying to end with nose... no wonder it wasn't working!
11:57 pm
baggo

doogle should've known you'd do it better...lol
11:57 pm
mab

Both words use the same ending. Think teeny and pinky.
11:57 pm
plurple

hahah no problem Coco!
11:57 pm
Jera

Truly pathetic today... I wasn't feeling well & slept this afternoon...
11:58 pm
Doogle

ha. The nose bit was part of mab's clue for the a7. I was wondering if those 2 clues would get mixed up.
11:58 pm
mab

nose goes with your ac. Add vowel before it.
11:59 pm
plurple

now get the ro8/40! same last 5 letters
11:59 pm
baggo

jera, but you know the good thing is that a new one starts in a few...8-/
