12:37 am

E5/14 x 2

1:07 am

Doogle

Yep. Actually found that one first, oddly enough.

1:09 am

1:18 am

Hugabugs

Sprite, I only have 7 of them. I am sorely lacking in the big ones... I can't believe it.

1:18 am

sprite

Guess I'll give it a break and come back later, perhaps it jumps right out of the grid then :)
When the rest of the grid is done, at least I'll know how many letters... and if all else fails, we can always call a2z to the rescue ;)

1:20 am

sprite

Can't have a topday every day, Hugs ;) Gives us a chance to help you out as you do with us all the time, right? Just yell if you are ready for clues.

7:21 am

Jacula

I've been away sorting laundry, too. After I once fell down the stairs with a full laundry basket I've now got into the habit of hurling the clothes down the stairs. This is unfortunate for the cat, if she happens to be sitting at the bottom of the wooden hill as she was today. It is also sometimes embarrassing for me if anyone happens to come to the front door before I've cleared the clothes pile since we have a set of rabbit 'fairy' lights running down one side of the staircase and, more often than not, various items of flimsy female lingerie get caught on the way down and are left hanging nonchalantly from rabbit ears.

7:21 am

movieman

I wonder, If and when Miyavi starts Babbling, she'll start going on about any Stephen King-based horror movies she's been watching (or any other horror movies come to that...) lol...

8:52 am

Anj

Back again :)

*waves at Toes*

8:52 am

Jacula

Movieman - She may well have sought out 'Carrie 2' or 'The Evil Dead' films. I mentioned them yesterday when she was watching 'Carrie'.

8:56 am

ToeSockMonkey

*waves at Anj* Hiiii! :)

8:56 am

movieman

Jacula - have seen all those movies u mentioned, and I think, and this is just my opinion, the 'Evil Dead' films are quite, quite brilliant, (and a lot of the ideas in those films showed up in director Sam Raimi's first two 'Spider-Man' movies), but the "sequel" to Carrie, to paraphrase Eric Cartman from 'South Park', sucked donkey b****...

8:58 am

miss tea

random fact-- I went to college with the woman who played the lead in carrie 2. she's actually quite a good actress, but i think that movie sunk her career prospects, unfortunately. boy it was bad!

8:58 am

Jacula

Like I said to Miyavi yesterday, Movieman, the original 'Carrie' is far darker than the more brashly gruesome 'Carrie 2'. BTW, I didn't warn her to brace herself during the graveside scene. LOL. I remember at the cinema when the whole audience leapt a foot off their seats (except for me, who'd read the book). roflol.

8:59 am

Anj

Hi Toes :)

Movieman, keeping on the Bruce Campbell theme, what did you think of Bubba Ho-Tep??

8:59 am

Jax

Does anyone know what W was missing from Fmitch's posting earlier? I can't find that last one. Or the c9, my last c. sigh

9:00 am

movieman

Luckily, I'm at an age now where I don't find horror movies even the remotest bit scary anymore (maybe I've seen too many for my own good...)

9:02 am

movieman

Anj - I thought Bubba was actually pretty good...it was one of those movies I first heard about at least a year or so before it came out at the cinemas here in Britain, but boy was it worth the wait (have also bought it on DVD...)

9:02 am

Anj

Jax, the cr9 refers to the notched or scalloped edging on leaves and paper. Sounds like the tip of battlements on castles

9:03 am

DarleenMB

thanks for the clue anj!

9:03 am

Anj

Movie, I've got the dvd but i'm not sure I 'get' the film. It reminded me of House II in the way it played...

9:04 am

9:11 am

Anj

Darleen it's a book. Almost like confessions of a B-Movie hero. He's also got another - Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way - that might also be essential reading lol

9:11 am

DarleenMB

Thanks for the tip Anj. Will have to look them up.

9:13 am

artlady ... good thing I scrolled down the log. Thanks for the compliment! :-) If I don't get back to work soon I may forget how to do it. Babble is destroying my life, lol. I too, had a fear of burning down the house but got over it real fast once I made my first bead. Give it a try ... you might like it!

Say hi to Hiyari.

Hi Bobsta - it is according to Amazon at least... I've got to but the damn game at some stage too.

9:26 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Movieman :) Haven't had the courage to see anything else recently...not after Carrie...*shudders*

9:26 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, she says hello back in a retarded voice :D

9:27 am

Bobsta

I've got every book so far and i don't intend to miss this one. a quick trip to 'smiths' is in order i think!!!

9:27 am

DarleenMB

movieman... I live in the outer fringes. No Serenity yet for moi (sob sob)... But we're going to Billings next week for hubby's surgery so I may get to see it then.

9:27 am

Miyavi_fan

Woah...but I have to go...class is about to start (maybe) See y'all later

9:28 am

movieman

Miy - don't worry, it was a while before I was brave enough to see another horror film after watching 'Elm Street' when I was 12...

9:28 am

Anj

Later Miy/Hiy :)

Bobsta...me too, well at least all the Discworld stories and the early sci-fi studd

9:29 am

movieman

Also need clues etc. 4 the 7's...those long words are getting to me again...

Morning Everyone: Nice rainy Monday but it is a holiday here so babble time!!

9:29 am

OOOohhh, Movieman, I saw Serenity the first night. First time I've paid full $ for a movie in years.

9:30 am

Anj

Hi Speed :)

9:30 am

artlady

Darleen, my mother had to drive 60 miles to see it, 'course that was in WI, not MT.

9:30 am

Jacula

Artlady - My son went to see that on Sat night. Same chap in that as in 'Kinky Boots'. Totally different role though!

9:31 am

Sppedfreak - rainy Monday? its lovely and sunny and about 23 degrees here! Welcome to the back end of summer!!!!

9:31 am

second 8 is an L but that's all I know . . .

9:31 am

movieman

I haven't seen 'Serenity' yet, 'cos my mate Punster keeps insisting that, as I never watched 'Firefly' I might not understand what's going on...

9:32 am

DarleenMB

good point movieman. The series was one of the best ... too bad fox axed it. SciFi channel has been rerunning it though. Or you could BUY the dvds (just a thought). Well worth the bucks in my opinion. Esp if you're a SF fan.

9:32 am

Jacula

Movieman - go to http://www.fireflyfans.net/ for info or just buy the DVD set - Amazon have it.

9:33 am

DarleenMB

Artlady, well, it's a 120+ mile trip for us, but as I said. Hubby is having some surgery so that's as good an excuse as any to go to Billings.

9:33 am

artlady

Movie, there were several people near us who had not seen the series, but were with friends who had. They enjoyed it. It does a nice "catch-up" without boring us fans.

11:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks, but I'm only so far behind because I'm trying to find a picture of the lead singer in my favourite band looking scary for a halloween icon. The problem is in most pictures he finds something fascinating to stare at behind him...

Ah, let me guess. IE6 browser???

11:55 am

hey all. I was having similar problems yesterday. I use Firefox. I had the same error message as Doogle (see his post from this morning). I think it's the Babble site....

11:55 am

LOL! Thanks boreetos :)

11:55 am

Miyavi_fan

What the?! My word list has vanished!

11:56 am

Babbler

yup. just hit refresh, Miy

11:56 am

Miyavi_fan

And it's not at the bottom of the page either!

11:56 am

Uneaixoise

miyavi, scroll aaalllllll the way down!

11:56 am

Anj

Babbler, i'm on the Fox and I don't have a problem :/

11:57 am

Babbler

it's intermittent, Anj. may not affect everybody, but I've been having problems for days.

11:58 am

Babbler

yesterday, my heart stopped, I LOST my entire word list!! I had like 90 words or something. It wasn't at the bottom of the page either. It had GONE! Then I hit refresh, and it came back.

11:59 am

Jacula

Oh dear. It was prob my word list that did it. No probs on Firefox, you see.

11:59 am

Jacula

Press F5!

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

I've refreshed about ten times but it must be feeling shy

11:59 am

Anj

*Fans Babbler with towel...opens smelling salts*

11:59 am

f5 didn't change anything

12:00 pm

Babbler

you might have to log out and log back in, Miy.
thx for smelling salts, Anj! : )

12:01 pm

torgone

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

12:01 pm

Babbler

don't be afraid of logging out -- your list will be there!!! :)

12:01 pm

Jacula

Sorry about that folks. *Creeps away red-faced with a tear in her eye. 'Only trying to help'. Sniff, sniff.*

12:01 pm

Babbler

it wasn't you, Jacula. Promise.

12:02 pm

Miyavi_fan

Nope, logged out, logged in, refreshed, kicked computer...and word list still will not appear! *throws a temper tantrum*

12:02 pm

Jacula

*'Are you sure Babbler?' says a little voice from the corner where Jacula is hiding.*

12:03 pm

Babbler

I'm so sorry Miy. How about if you power down, then reboot?

12:03 pm

Anj

ah, Torgone... ve haf ze nice flying vether for zis time of year, ja?

12:03 pm

torgone

It's a glitch Dr_God thought was fixed, but looks like you found a way around it Jac!

That was supposed to say Moose...

12:03 pm

Babbler

Jacula, I've been having problems for days. You haven't been posting big lists every day, have you?? Well then! : )

12:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

ah, don't worry Babbler...it'll come out when it's ready. Right now it's teasing me by coming out then disappearing again :)

12:04 pm

Babbler

so it's deffo there, then, Miy. That's good. Might settle down later. Maybe it's hungry and wants its dinner....???

12:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

Could be, Babbler...though I've always brought my word lists up well, tried to teach them right from wrong...*sighs*

12:06 pm

Babbler

aaah, but they do need good food! I hope you feed them organic, GM free, biodynamic local produce! LOL !

12:07 pm

Miyavi_fan

*looks shocked* Of course, Babbler! Only the best for my little darlings!

12:08 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yay, it's back!

12:08 pm

Miyavi_fan

Er...no, it's not...

12:08 pm

Anj

...or you could try a nice kebab with peri peri sauce made with mystery meat. Apparently folk are powerless to resist its siren song after 7 pints...

12:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

*glares* People over 18 have all the fun...*sulks*

12:09 pm

Babbler

has everyone been having problems when posting messages? I have for at least a few weeks. I hit 'post message', but it doesn't post.... I hit refresh, it still doesn't post. Finally, after much messing around, it gets there.....

12:10 pm

brandyjack

That's part of the log refresh. You won't see your post until your log refreshes at the interval.

12:11 pm

Miyavi_fan

*temper starts rising* I think one computer may need a slap from the obvious fish...

12:11 pm

lola100

Anj- lol! Have managed to avoid one of those so far!

12:12 pm

Babbler

no Brandyjack -- I thought that, but my messages sometimes totally freeze. Or they don't appear in the log even after I've posted the message and the message box is empty.

12:12 pm

speedfreak

As soon as I hit hide icons my words jumped back up...

12:13 pm

lola100

Woohoo, speedfreak for president! :)

12:13 pm

Anj

*passes Miyavi 20lb of large wet haddock and pair of gloves*
Stand back everyone...
Babbler i've been getting that as well. 9 times out of 10 the refresh sorts it.

12:13 pm

brandyjack

When your words jump to the bottom of the page, sometimes turning off the icons for a while will help. Although in the case of Jaq's post, it might not have. The Re string and the we string are quite long.

12:13 pm

torgone

Chill, yav. About 5 more posts should do it.

Spam a l'orange, anyone?

12:14 pm

Miyavi_fan

Sorry Torgone...I am past chilling! Thanks Anj...

*takes aim*

12:14 pm

Anj

Lo, trust me babe you don't want to go there. It's not that it's gross, it's just well, everything smells of kebab the following morning. Clothes, house, breath... :/ I avoid them like the plague.

12:14 pm

Judi

Well, I give up. Must be Mondayitits. Anyone have clues for the 9 and the 8s?

12:15 pm

brandyjack

Actually Babbler, now that you mention it, I have seen that one a few times. Mine will freeze for up to 45 minutes that I've noticed. And then poof, a large quantity of messages appears, with less than recent timestamps.

12:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

THWACK

12:16 pm

Judi

That's showing it who's boss, Miyavi.

12:16 pm

lola100

We have a similar delicacy in SA called a bunny chow. Half a loaf of bread, insides scooped out and replaced with curry. Directions for use: stagger into duboious looking takeaway, buy said bunnychow, stagger down to beachfront and consume :)

12:16 pm

Babbler

also, Brandyjack, I posted a reply to Miy a few mins ago, after the organic food discussion, and although I tried really hard to rescue it and post it, it simply has not appeared. : (

12:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

lol Judi...and amazingly, the word list is back!

12:17 pm

Anj

That's the spirit Miy :)

I had three browsers running last night and they all froze at about 1am. Taskmanager said they were running but nothing happened for about 20 mins so I had to bug out and restart...

12:17 pm

Judi

Ah, the old bitch slap re-boot. It never fails.

Try going to the bottom message window, then pressing and holding ALT key, then press the backspace key a few times. This might allow you to retrieve your message.

12:19 pm

1:42 pm

Babbler

what do you want to know? how many layers for the ideal filo pastry?

1:43 pm

Chessy

Miyavi, never let it dry out before cooking ...

1:44 pm

Judi

Makes great baclava!

1:44 pm

Judi

I mean Baklava!

1:44 pm

I'm sure Saint Delia Smith has loads of great tips on her website :)

Babbler

superb alternative base for homemade pizza!

1:45 pm

brandyjack

After I'm done snarfing the baklava, all the honey, nuts and cinnamon on my face makes it look like a baclava...

1:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wow, thanks...any idea how it's made?

1:45 pm

Judi

If you're looking for a recipe, Napoleans are easy with Filo pastry. Just slap a little custard in the middle of a few layers and frost the top. Voila! Dessert.

1:47 pm

dazza

Any other clues for cr9/66 ???????

1:48 pm

Judi

Dazza - scroll down to Babbler's clue at 1:31 p.m.

1:48 pm

Babbler

lol brandyjack!!

miy, you roll out pastry again.... and again.... and again.... (or you buy it ready made)

grrr... I'm so annoyed with posting message problems... : (

1:49 pm

Miyavi_fan

lol Babbler, I can see it now..."so, how do you make filo pastry?" "oh, you open the packet" *sighs*

1:50 pm

Babbler

If I remember rightly, Miy, you need either 8 or 16 layers. You roll and roll and roll, till the layers are really fine. It's very tricky and you need a cold kitchen. (I did it at school).

1:50 pm

Jera

I'm missing a B & I think it's a 4/9... could I have second letter hint, please?

1:51 pm

jrs

Hello,
Just popped in during a late lunch break and saw that you wre looking for filo dough recipes, Miyavi. Apple strudel - spread grated apples, cinnamon, sugar, and ground walnuts (sultanas are optional) on about 8 layers of buttered filo dough. Roll up, slather on melted butter, and bake for 30 min.

"why dont we remove few bricks from around the bars here, then, using a rope woven from this hessian, we could fashion a sort of pulley system, that wil take out the bars, then jump a couple of guards, nick their seords, and fight our way back to the ship?"
"Or we could just use the teleporter."

5:08 pm

Anj

Cat: Ok. I say let's get into the jet-powered rocket pants and junior birdman the hell out of here!
Kryten: An excellent and inventive suggestion, sir, with just two tiny drawbacks:
a) We don't have any jet-powered rocket pants; and
b) there's no such thing as jet-powered rocket pants outside the fictional serial 'Robbie Rocket Pants'.
Cat: Well, that's put a crimp on an otherwise damn fine plan.

Greeting minus a letter

...and of course, the classic:
Cat: What are we waiting for, why don't we raise the defensive shields?
Kryten: An excellent plan, sir, with only two minor drawbacks: One, we don't have any defensive shields and two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I know technically speaking that's only one drawback, but I thought it was such a big one, it was worth mentioning twice.

5:43 pm

Jera

ty snowyowl... would've never guessed that one... although I have been trying to spell halo a good part of the afternoon, LOL!

Hi Robert, Jo, didn't see you come in.

6:54 pm

Ah, like some of ourvfootball teams then. Maybe the FA should drop the FC and just say Putz. Would sound great in the European Championship:
"And tonight we bring you a 1st round tie between Dukla Prague and Dorking Putz"

6:55 pm

robert240

hey

6:56 pm

Deutsch

Robert, isn't putz yiddish for something? Or a person? Do you know?

artlady

Yes, but do you know what a putz is?

6:57 pm

Anj

Babbler, er, Cpt Jack walks into a room and all the women go 'oooh, he's de.... for me'
It's a different spelling of the old Babble favourite "various government officials in India, especially a regional prime minister"

artlady

Thanks Lola and Babbler. I'm working off a really old list from this morning.

7:35 pm

Anj

...woo!

7:37 pm

Jacula

Hello. Is it safe to come in?

7:39 pm

lola100

Hi jacula :)

7:39 pm

Anj

Hi Jac :)

7:40 pm

Jacula

No 'Etna' today - apart from the one my full 2nd letter list seemed to cause earlier.

7:40 pm

swmbo

Anyone car to give me a hint on the la8?

7:40 pm

Anj

...we nearly had eolian though. That's a regular...

7:41 pm

Jacula

Hi Lola & Anj & ArtLady (like the new pic) . Did Miyavi_Fan get her words back?

7:42 pm

Anj

Hi Swimmy - think grand la......ny, that favourite crime staple of 70/80s cop shows, and change they y to er

7:42 pm

Jacula

In the USA it's called 'Grand La*****' when someone steals. The person who commits the act might be known as a la****er.

7:43 pm

swmbo

Thank you both!!!

7:43 pm

Anj

...oo-err...it's that wavelength thing again...

7:43 pm

Jacula

LOL Anj.

7:46 pm

Jacula

Wonder what Miyavi's been watching tonight? One of the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' movies oer maybe one of the 'Final Destination' ones? Nothing like scaring yourself to death in your early teens. LOL.

7:46 pm

lola100

Hey babe, one more song and then I must get some sleep :)

7:46 pm

Jacula

I do hope she doesn't get hold of a copy of 'The Exorcist'.

7:47 pm

Jacula

Is Anj playing lullabies to Lola? Aw! That's sweet.:-)

7:48 pm

lola100

LOL!

7:49 pm

Jacula

Lola - is your new icon a bat in a bikini or a butterfly??

7:49 pm

Jacula

No insult intended!

7:50 pm

lola100

jacs- it's a green fairy. Inspired by Anj's experience of absinthe :)

7:51 pm

lola100

lol! None taken :)

7:52 pm

Jacula

There's a new book been published about absinthe. I was reading about it in The Sunday Times.

7:53 pm

lola100

Oh yeah?

7:53 pm

Doogle

Hey y'all. I liked that bit about "snorkling in the custard tub" about an hour ago. That's *got* to be a euphemism.

7:54 pm

lola100

Doogle! I'm sure I have no idea what you mean...lol!

7:55 pm

Babbler

...can't breathe otherwise, Doogle....

7:56 pm

Babbler

141 words so far, without using a2z, but relying heavily on my Babble Buddies. Getting verrrry tired and sleeeeepy......

7:57 pm

Jacula

Can't remember the title and who wrote it now. Will let you know later when I've retrieved it from the newspaper pile in the rabbit/guinea pig shed.

I do remember a bit in the article about Toulouse Lautrec and how he would amble water into the glass to make the mixture cloudy. In those clouds lay artistic visions. LOL.

7:57 pm

lola100

*throws bucket of cold water over babbler*

7:58 pm

Babbler

*splutters* gordon bennet, Lola!

7:58 pm

lola100

LOL! Artistic visions? I know a few other things that can cause those...

7:58 pm

Jacula

laughs her head off over the snorkelling in a custard tub thing and its replies. Decides not to put any interpretations of her own on it as Taureans can be very crude! :-/

7:59 pm

lola100

gordon bennet??

7:59 pm

Babbler

I've got the sunday times.... I'll take a mini-break and see if I can find this book. Is it this week's, Jac?

7:59 pm

Anj

OK babe, i'm getting pretty sleepy myself here too :)

lol Doogle...we will have to submit that to Viz and see if they can add it to Roger's Profanasaurus :')

8:00 pm

Jacula

Gordon Bennett. 'Bloody Hell', 'Gawd!' etc. An interjection of surprise and sometimes pain or amusement.

8:00 pm

lola100

Yes...but why??

8:00 pm

Anj

Jac, i'm a Taurean! ...but you'd already guessed that lol

8:01 pm

Jacula

Yes, this week's Babbler. *Thinks, hope to Gordon Bennett it wasn't The Mail on Sunday!* LOL.

8:01 pm

Jacula

Anj - I think we've had this discussion already. There is no other sign you could be!

8:01 pm

Babbler

I have the Mail on Sunday too!! It's not in the Culture section, so it must be in the mail......

8:02 pm

Anj

Gordon Bennet:

http://www.peevish.co .uk/slang/articles/gordon-benn ett.htm

Don't forget to remove the spaces

8:02 pm

Babbler

it's not in You magazine. was it in one of the mags, or in the newspaper sections?

8:02 pm

artlady

Slap slap! Get serious folks. While you're lollygagging around in the custard pool I'm cursing the R's. I need 2 re 5's, have the do having to do with doing or happening again.

8:03 pm

Anj

Jac, but why? What is so essentially Taurean about me???

8:03 pm

Doogle

Don't get flustered by the custard, ArtLady!

8:03 pm

Jax

artlady - do you have the 2 that might be having to do with reshowing a tv show?

8:04 pm

artlady

The custard's fine, it's the sharks....

8:04 pm

lola100

Thanks babe :)

8:04 pm

Jacula

Artlady - it's probably a 'ginger' thing you're looking for. You may look at us somewhat re**y once you find it.

8:04 pm

artlady

Yes, I have the 5/10 and the 5/14.

8:05 pm

Jax

I'm missing 1 re 5 myself. I have the 2 that might have to do with tv or if you think of the last 3 letters maybe with a race, then I have one that the last 3 letters are a mongrel. missing one

8:05 pm

Jacula

Anj - I don't know. Maybe it takes one to know one?

8:05 pm

Jax

artlady- they are both 5 10, just change the last vowel. one is present and one is past tense

8:05 pm

Babbler

are you sure you weren't reading about the Degas, Sickert, Toulouse,-Lautrec exhibition, Jac? Degas did a painting called Absinthe, about a drunk prostitute.

8:05 pm

artlady

Now I have the 5/18....and my face is a bit....should have seen that one.

8:06 pm

Jacula

Babbler - might have been in the newspaper review section.

8:06 pm

Jacula

Lollygagging - that's a word I haven't heard for years!

8:07 pm

Jax

thanks jacula that was the one I was missing to. now my last 2 t's and I'm done...

8:07 pm

Anj

...lol Jac. I thought I might be exhibiting signs of being a mad cow. Don't be silly. Now, I'm just off to cut some grass for breakfast...

8:07 pm

artlady

Careful, Jac...no comments on age! I have a custard pie ready...

8:07 pm

Anj

Jax, would one of those be the ta6/24 by any chance??

8:08 pm

lola100

Goodnight everyone, happy babbling, see you tomorrow :)

'nite babe((((((xxx))))))) sweet dreams :)

8:08 pm

Babbler

I'm going to retire at 141 words. Not bad, considering.

Sweet dreams everybody!! : )

8:09 pm

Jacula

ArtLady - the only comment I would make about age right now is that a vintage wine is the most sought after. (At least that's what my 12 years' younger other half tells me!)

8:10 pm

artlady

AAck! Thanks, Jax...I finally opened my eyes to the obvious...with your clue!

8:10 pm

artlady

lol Jacula!

8:10 pm

Jax

YW artlady - that one had me stuck for awhile

8:10 pm

Jacula

Babbler - I'll seek out that article later. Might have been in Saturday Times 'Books'.

8:10 pm

Jax

8:10 pm

artlady

9:33 pm

stillcrazy

old English for you?

9:33 pm

dyberrah

can someone tell me what a "babble word" is?

9:34 pm

jandro257

mmm I already got old english. i have 25 words now.

9:35 pm

Jacula

197 words today.

9:39 pm

Jacula

SWMBO -

te4/4 - sea bird (Duck)
te4/4 - to rip
te4/4 - what a golfer does to start a shot
te4/4 - sesame oil
te4/4 - a thin tissue or weblike structure

9:41 pm

Doogle

Yeah, I've had that occasionally all day, Babbler, and I use Firefox also. So it's not just an IE problem (as one may have come to expect). No big deal, though, I guess.

9:41 pm

Jacula

A Babble word is either something that crops up constantly, like the Sicilian volcano, et** (et4/4) or a word tht is undefined in no other dictionary other than 'Enable', which it is also not defined in.

9:41 pm

dyberrah

Thanks Jacula - That helps :)

9:42 pm

jandro257

what does stuff like 4/4 mean?

9:43 pm

dyberrah

# of letters/total points for word
4/4 = 4 letter word worth 4 points

9:44 pm

Jacula

Each tile on the grid has a points value, just like Scrabble tiles do. So, an et4/4 is a word that begins with 'et' and totals 4 points. In the case of the one I was on about, the word is 'etna'. It is allowable because it is also another term for a Bunsen burner.

9:44 pm

swmbo

I think it is the sesame oil. I am positive I am looking right at it!

9:44 pm

Doogle

Woah, sorry for the non sequitur, folks. I just happened to read a post written nearly 11 hours ago and responded to it. Probably about the same way my 96-year-old grandmother converses.

9:45 pm

Jacula

s'okay Babbler. I knew what you were on about.

9:45 pm

Blaze

swmbo that is my te nemisis tooooooo.... plus 4 re words...

9:46 pm

Thanks, Hugs! Looks like I'm somehow missing an he4/7. I've got:

mend
listen
warmth
foot part

what am i missing?

10:46 pm

Dianne

Sfneil - you are missing the aircraft one. Thanks for the help on the Ta7:)

10:46 pm

Hi Hugs, Neil. I'm lurking and about to throw in the towel. I don't have the knack for this. The obsurity of so many of hte words just overwhelms me. After finding the obvious words and guessing on the four letter oddities, I'm completely lost.

10:46 pm

Hugabugs

It looks like a greeting missing the double consonant in the middle

10:47 pm

sfneil

Ah! Thanks Dianne and Hugs!

10:47 pm

Hugabugs

Hi mab... yeah, today's grid wasn't as nice as yesterdays... that's for sure.

10:48 pm

Dianne

Jera posted an H list and the last one listed is He5/10. Is this right? I have an He4/10.

10:48 pm

sfneil

Are there really two he5's? 'Cause if there's one, that's what I'm missing... and if there's two, I'm missing both, and something is screwy

10:48 pm

Hugabugs

Dianne, It is he4/10

10:49 pm

sfneil

Oh, thanks Hugs! So I'm just missing the he5 then.

10:49 pm

Hugabugs

the he5/16 - baboom baboom baboom

10:50 pm

sfneil

And of course just found it... gotta have that!

10:50 pm

Dianne

Thanks Hugs

10:50 pm

sfneil

Whew! Done! Thanks everyone!

10:51 pm

Hugabugs

Congrats neil - with lots of time to spare too

10:51 pm

sfneil

Yes, Hugs... I was sure it was going to be down to the wire tonight! What a relief!

10:53 pm

Hugabugs

How are you doing, Dianne? Lots more yet?

10:53 pm

sfneil

Surprisingly few totally Martian words today... mainly just regular words hiding well!

10:54 pm

Dianne

Hugs - I'm doing o.k. but still need a lot more :( Trying to finish the Hs. I have all but the 2nd He4/8 - I have the listen/obey one. Any help?

10:55 pm

Hugabugs

Yeah, but for some reason, I just couldn't see so many of them.

10:56 pm

sfneil

Dianne it's past tense of having something (or someone) in your arms

10:56 pm

Hugabugs

Oh, you need the past tense of having something in your hands.

10:57 pm

Dianne

Hugs - And I just got new glasses - DUH. Right in my face and I couldn't see it - thanks!

10:57 pm

sfneil

still, i'd love to know what the bo5/20 means...

10:59 pm

Dianne

Sfneil - we could sure make up a few good meanings!

10:59 pm

sfneil

Indeed, Dianne... indeed!

10:59 pm

Hugabugs

I found this on it... —n. Australian.
a witch doctor; sorcerer. Also called koradji, coraji.

11:00 pm

sfneil

Those wacky Aussies!

11:01 pm

Hugabugs

It was one of many that had me stumped.

11:02 pm

sfneil

the de6/30, maybe?

11:04 pm

Hugabugs

Oh yeah... that was one too. But surprisingly, I picked out the do5/18 quite early on.

11:05 pm

sfneil

yeah, I always check any archaic forms I can think of... seems a bit arbitrary though as to which ones will fly

11:07 pm

Hugabugs

I was a bit surprised lo4/5y wasn't accepted though

11:08 pm

sfneil

i typed that in three times!! i'm from the US south by birth, and I can definitely report that is considered a word there!

11:10 pm

Hugabugs

It's used often up here too... I mean anyone who's ever turned 40 has had it written on some sort of poster... lo4/5y lo4/5y look who's 40.

11:11 pm

sfneil

I'm literally laughing out loud now! I've never heard that rhyme before!

11:12 pm

Hugabugs

Seriously? It's always used in birthday announcements in the paper too!

11:13 pm

sfneil

of course it's several years too late to use it for myself... sigh...

11:14 pm

Hugabugs

*heavier sigh* I know what you mean... but when it happened to me, I awoke with a huge sign on my front lawn saying those exact words... and it was strewn with 40 various pairs of old boots

11:15 pm

Hugabugs

actually, it was 20 pairs equalling 40 boots

11:15 pm

sfneil

Wow! Is that traditional, as well? What is the significance of the boots? (That you've had a long trek?)

11:16 pm

Hugabugs

It's a demeaning phrase to women... You old boot!

11:16 pm

sfneil

Oh, now that's just mean!

11:16 pm

Hugabugs

My youngest sister thought it was hilarious! :o(

11:17 pm

Hugabugs

I'm dreading the thought of what she'll do next year.

11:17 pm

sfneil

Yeah... wait 'til it happens to her! *frown*

11:19 pm

sfneil

Is next year another milestone? (Sorry... I really am a Southerner at heart... please don't feel obligated to reveal your age... a gentleman never asks.)

11:19 pm

Hugabugs

She's past the 40 mark now... and I was very nice... but I did put 40 balloons and a big sign in front of the hair salon she works in right on the corner of two main drags... hehe

11:20 pm

Hugabugs

Doesn't it say in my profile? My birthday was 4 weeks ago.

11:20 pm

sfneil

My bad. Happy belated birthday!! And 'hugs' from me!

11:21 pm

Hugabugs

Awww... thank you! :o)

11:22 pm

Dianne

OMG - sooo many left to find and so little time (damn work yesterday!). Can't find the Er4 (not bird) or the El5 (not happy) or that De6. Any help?

11:23 pm

Hugabugs

there is only 1 er4/4

11:24 pm

Hugabugs

the el5 - that would be me in my family.... the other sibs are younger

11:24 pm

Dianne

Hugs - you see what kind of shape I'm in - OMG!

11:24 pm

sfneil

de6: start with how you spell out the letter 'd', then add (crossword clue here) a three-letter word for 'pale' or 'ashen'

11:25 pm

Hugabugs

do you have the eu4/4? the across the ocean currency?

11:25 pm

Jera

I'm back... sorry for the confusion with my list... looking cross-eyed at the next word...

11:26 pm

Dianne

Hugs and Sfneil - thanks so much.

Neil, what part of the south are you from?

11:26 pm

sfneil

no worries, Jera... you saved me!

11:26 pm

Hugabugs

Hi Jera - did you watch CSI Miami?

11:27 pm

sfneil

Dianne: I'm from coastal North Carolina, near the South Carolina border (Charleston, etc.)

11:27 pm

Jera

No, it was a recording of the original... luv Miami as well, though!

11:28 pm

Hugabugs

Drats - I nodded off during a commercial and missed the last 10 minutes of tonight's Miami.

11:28 pm

Dianne

I am looking for the Do5 and Do4 (not animal, unemployemnt or the one that sounds like an exit).
Yes, thankss Hugs I have the eu/money.

11:29 pm

Dianne

Now Neil honey, my family would say your almost a southerner. Mine is from Mississippi.

11:29 pm

sfneil

do5 is biblical talk for 'you do' in the present tense

11:30 pm

Dianne

Neil - I need to spend a little time with The Good Book - thanks.

11:30 pm

Jera

I usually watch the recording the next day, ask me tomorrow afternoon...

11:30 pm

sfneil

But, Dianne, honey-chile... you must know you're always welcome to the real South! Come on in and set a spell!

11:31 pm

Jera

Neil, I grew up in NC... near Fayettville (in the middle)... went to college in Raleigh

11:31 pm

Dianne

If you got greens and cornbread with some nice ice tea I'll be right over.

11:31 pm

Hugabugs

Dianne - there are 2 that sound like an exit. I'm not sure which one is an animal though.

11:32 pm

sfneil

Jera, cool! People never believe me when I tell them that Fayetteville is actually pronounced 'fed-vul'!

11:33 pm

sfneil

Dianne, you will always find those in my home! I've got sweet tea and plain.

11:33 pm

Jera

Actually, it's Fayette-Nam... but that's a military joke...

11:33 pm

Dianne

Hugs - I can't read my own writing - not an animal but a person who does things. I should just sit the rest of this one out - I'm too discombobblated.

11:34 pm

sfneil

Yes... familiar with that, too, Jera!

11:34 pm

Jera

The 2 do's that sound like exit: one ends in a vowel, the other has a double consonant...

11:34 pm

Hugabugs

There's one that rhymes with goat

11:34 pm

Dianne

SFneil - what about "bolled" peanuts?

11:35 pm

Jera

Go Airborne! I'm an Air Force brat, my da was stationed at Pope AFB... I think they are closing it...

11:35 pm

Dianne

Hugs - thanks - got that one:)

11:35 pm

sfneil

I do boiled peanuts occasionally, but that's more of a mississippi/alabama thing (though they certainly can be found in the carolinas).

11:35 pm

Jera

But I dated a lot of Paratroopers back in the day... ah, the memories!

11:38 pm

Dianne

I wasn't born in Miss but spent some time there as a teenage and then later visiting my mom and family. But even thoough I was raised in New York i was raised by souther parents.........the osuth travels with you:)

11:39 pm

Dianne

Not only do I need to give up on this puzzle I also need to learn how to type and spell.

11:41 pm

sfneil

Dianne... it certainly does! I was born in NC, where both sides of my family had been for generations, but my dad was in the Coast Guard, so we moved all around... but every summer (my mom was a schoolteacher, so she had the summers off) we spent in North Carolina at her mom's/sisters' places. I'm a southerner who grew up all over America!

11:42 pm

Dianne

Honey chile - I have the south in my heart, a New York city accent and live in Hong Kong - talk about being confused!

11:44 pm

sfneil

Law' chile! And I forgot to mention I finished high school in the Netherlands! They had great fun trying to sort out my mother's accent.

11:48 pm

Dianne

When I was a teen I spent one school year in Miss and worked part time in the local department store - one day a gentleman cam in looking for step ins for his wife - I tried to sell him some backless sliippers - turns out he want underpants!

11:50 pm

Jera

You are just a man of the world, Neil! Me, I've never been out of the southeast, let alone the country. I keep threatening one day to just jump in the car & drive to the Canadian border... just to be able to say I've left the country. I'll come right back... probably...

11:53 pm

sfneil

Ah, Jera... the southeast is so lovely, though, in so many ways. Coming from there, it's almost a built-in nostalgia, which I can never hope to recover.

11:56 pm

Jera

It's funny, I grew up in the sandhills, now I don't know what I'd do without my mountains! I've spent the last 13 years in the incomparable Shenandoah Valley... absolutely gorgeous country...

11:59 pm

Jera

Here we go... next puzzle!!
