FMitch
Thats fine Andree, it's good to have the youngesters in there too.
3:20 am
autumn moon
atalante - because it's spelled tassel
3:21 am
Atalante
not in the UK its not
3:21 am
Andree
it is if they paid as much attention to the game as the chat
3:21 am
autumn moon
i know...it's like colour and color
3:22 am
Atalante
and *normally* UK spellings are accepted ... .poor tassle!
3:22 am
Haz1558
Atalante - I've just checked the dictionary. tassel.
3:22 am
Atalante
really????????????????? I've always known it as tassle!
3:23 am
Haz1558
I know - it doesn't look right or something, but there you go!
3:23 am
Atalante
well that's my something new learned today!
3:24 am
Misu
and neither are accepted 8-)
3:28 am
Atalante
is that a new pic of Spangle, Haz??
3:29 am
Haz1558
Well, it's a different one - she's looking a bit solemn in it.
3:30 am
Bowdski
tassel/tassle depends on where you r from as to how you spell it.
3:30 am
FMitch
Spangle is looking like you have just said you wont take her for a walk.
3:30 am
Haz1558
Exactly, FMitch - it's the hard-done by, how can you resist me look.
3:31 am
Atalante
she is!! "awwwww mom ......."
3:31 am
Haz1558
Sorry - just put in a word by mistake!
3:32 am
FMitch
LOL thanks Haz didn't have that one. It's her eyes that really do it.
3:33 am
Haz1558
She's sitting beside me at the minute, back legs splayed like a frog, and front paws crossed. It's so funny!
3:33 am
Atalante
as my best friend calls it for her springer "its that RSPCA spaniel look"
3:34 am
Haz1558
If you're leaving a spaniel, it's fatal to look at them! Yo ujust have to avert the gaze, close the door and go.....
3:34 am
Atalante
tell me about it!
3:36 am
FMitch
I can imagine!
3:37 am
FMitch
Found a couple of big snakes in the grid today
3:38 am
Atalante
one of which is also the name of a b*** (drink)
3:38 am
hydra
Morning. What's wrong with acer? I've got two in my garden!
3:39 am
Atalante
its an Acer, not an acer, even though it *should* be accepted!
3:39 am
Haz1558
That one always frustrates me as well!
3:39 am
hydra
Oh! I didn't know it had a capital A. That explains it.
3:40 am
hydra
I looked at the nhm
3:40 am
Atalante
cos its the scientific name used popularly. I think
3:40 am
Atalante
well thats the only reason I can work out
3:40 am
hydra
I looked at the number of letters (oops, it sent itself before I'd finished!) and thought no way. But I'm so hooked that I've got to give today's grid a go!
3:41 am
Atalante
go hydra!
3:41 am
hydra
Guess we're all the same!
3:42 am
Haz1558
Are you playing, FMitch, or doing Lickety's first?
3:43 am
FMitch
Im doing lickety's today too much for me with work schedule, am stopping at 200 (at 192 now).
3:43 am
Haz1558
You're going great guns. I seem to be on a go slow today.
3:44 am
hydra
I'm stopping as soon as I've scored 1000. I'm at 747 right now, onoly 91 words though.
3:45 am
FMitch
I found it very slow to start.
3:45 am
Atalante
I'm on 192 as well FM :)
3:46 am
hydra
You mean the site? It was taking ages to put the words in, FMitch.
3:46 am
Haz1558
Normally with the big grids, I get lots of words quite quicky, but not today. I'm on 110 - but I have found some 8 letters, so there's hope.
3:47 am
hydra
I haven't found any 8s. I've got one 7.
3:47 am
FMitch
WTG Ata
Yes hydra, it was slow but I have been babbling on and off all morning whilst doing other things.
3:48 am
hydra
Anyone else woken by the thunderstorms? Twenty to 6 this morning.
3:48 am
FMitch
ThWe got the at 06.40 this morning and there are more rumbling around at the moment along with heavy rain.
3:49 am
hydra
We haven't got rain at the mo, but it's very overcast so I guess there's more on its way and if so, I'll have to switch my computer off. I left it on in a storm once and the modem blew.
3:51 am
FMitch
Rats, well done, stuck on 193.
3:52 am
Atalante
but its starting to get the tiniest bit painful ...
3:53 am
Atalante
and we've got cool air today - I can finally *think* again
3:54 am
hydra
1036 words, thunder started again. Must go!
3:54 am
Atalante
bye hydra!!
3:54 am
Haz1558
Bye hydra!
3:55 am
Atalante
that means I should expect storms soon I guess
3:55 am
Haz1558

3:55 am
FMitch

3:56 am
Atalante

4:33 am
hurshy

4:33 am
Atalante
the mona lisa must be the biggest (or smallest) disappointment ever. its so tiny!
4:33 am
hurshy

Cat9x
If you run across it, I'd love to see it Ata.
5:45 am
ARB

5:45 am
Atalante

5:52 am
ARB

5:53 am
hurshy
ARB, you don't have to do that, i'll use the list most likely - on vacation too hard to go listless.
5:53 am
hurshy
thanks though :)
5:53 am
ARB
Aah (not in today's grid) -- it is fun helping you find what you're missing, ....
5:54 am
hurshy
well i have 83 left... :)
5:55 am
ARB
Have you been to the Louvre yet? Pompidou? Picasso? Gare, reopened Monet exhibit? I'm green wuth envy
5:56 am
hurshy
well i don't like the louvre or pompidou much - i have been those places before. we saw picasso stuff in madrid... also we just arrived in paris yesterday.
5:56 am
hurshy
i'm not that big of an art person in general...we'll probably go to the musee d'orsay and one other little one that i like though.
5:57 am
ARB
What attracts you most there -- the art, the churches (i.e. Rose Chapel) ?
5:57 am
Atalante
I love the Pompidou Centre. and Les Halles with all the water statues and sculptures
5:57 am
hurshy
i just like watching people mostly. i don't love paris, really. i'm not a city person in general. we went to carcassonne earlier and i liked that a lot.
5:58 am
Atalante
Les Halles is a very very good place to people watch
5:58 am
hurshy
we're going out to normandy one day, that should be interesting.
5:58 am
Atalante
oooh lovely
6:01 am
hurshy
one of the things i've enjoyed most, in a way, is all the train rides and seeing so much of the countryside in various countries. the cote d'azur is amazing
6:01 am
ARB
Go to one of the bar-cafes on the left bank where Sartre sat, order a glass of white wine, and watch people -- a great scene. Also the most expensive cup of coffee I have ever had was on Rue de la Paix, but it was worth it to watch the open square.
6:01 am
hurshy
my husband is doing most of the planning, i just kinda go along for the ride.
6:02 am
Atalante
or sit on the steps of the Sacre-Coeur and watch all the arty / theatre-y people show off their stuff
6:04 am
Atalante
or walk along the Seine by Notre-Dame and spend time in the little impromptu markets they have on the bank
6:04 am
Atalante
or ... or .... ok, I'll shut up now :P
6:05 am
hurshy
there are a lot of things we could do, clearly :)
6:05 am
hurshy
80 words left. only 9 are 4's.
6:07 am
hurshy
do other people have a lot of the 8's? i only have 2.
6:08 am
ilandrah
that's two more than I have found hurshy
6:08 am
ilandrah
but I am only at 93 words
6:08 am
hurshy
i'm at 272
6:09 am
ilandrah
I really do dislike any grid that is over 200
6:09 am
hurshy
i love them :)
6:10 am
ilandrah
200+ is too big for me to finish, then I am left feeling incompetent
6:11 am
hurshy
woohoo, finished with A's!
oh, don't feel incompetent. have you got a job? if you work full time then you have a good excuse.
6:11 am
Atalante
I have 3 8s ...
6:11 am
hurshy
ah, so it's not just me then.
6:11 am
ilandrah
yeah, and always able to think of more excuses for not doing things ;)
6:12 am
hurshy
B's and C's... lots of B's and C's...
6:13 am
hurshy
maybe we can get compounds with our vessel.
6:14 am
Atalante
we could try ...
6:15 am
hurshy

6:18 am
Haz1558
Yes, this one is a type of cloth
6:19 am
hurshy

6:19 am
Haz1558

6:19 am
hurshy
i can almost make bracelet too
6:20 am
hurshy
ok ty haz will look
6:20 am
hurshy
ok i figured out what the beginning is
6:21 am
hurshy

6:22 am
Atalante
are there 2 br8/55s??
6:22 am
hurshy
sadly there seem to be, yes
6:22 am
Haz1558
Yes - the first one relates to a metal, the second to a type of cloth.
6:22 am
lynxxx

6:23 am
Atalante
*sigh* there would be!
6:23 am
Haz1558

6:24 am
Haz1558

6:28 am
hurshy
(that sounds funny)
6:29 am
lynxxx
BO 8.50 - just got it - fluke! - starts with a new ****
6:30 am
lynxxx

6:31 am

Oh yeah - probably is that and all - you can tell I fluked it!
6:32 am
hurshy
i should get the list soon..
6:33 am
lynxxx
Is there more of a clue for the BR 8.55 cloth - cause I cant find broadloom!
6:34 am
hurshy
br8/55... take lo6 (find on a map), move the L to the end, and stick the br on the front.
6:34 am
hurshy
that's not a very good clue but...
6:35 am
Haz1558
The first five letters are like a heavily woven cloth that rhymes with maid, then the first letters of 'phone
6:35 am
lynxxx
worked for me - thanks
6:35 am
ilandrah
that was sufficient for me hurshy (and thats going some)

6:36 am

you could just try printing the screen, go up to file, and click print from there..that way you'll see the grid, rather than if you did the printable clues link

Dorens

8:30 am
mab
I usually make myself hysterical over finishing these behemoths, but I'm beginning to get past that.

I'd like to add, ladies... what is up with 'cami' (and 'camis') not being accepted!?!
10:22 am
artlady
hey Miyavi!
10:22 am
bostonmermaid
it's obviously a male dictionary...
10:23 am
Miyavi_fan
hey hey xD how are you?
10:23 am
Yvo
i wonder if someone could help me find out why angelsong 4 letter words dont show for lookup all others do ,i know most of you dont use the list i tried angelsong email but it comes back any info would be appreciated thank you
10:23 am
abe79
camis are very important articles of clothing!
10:23 am
Miyavi_fan

10:23 am
artlady
Oops, didn't finish the rest. Sorry
10:23 am
Miyavi_fan
ahhh yes, the Miyavi Fan's mind is in the sewer today...
10:23 am

10:24 am

10:30 am
bostonmermaid
the question is, would 'camisole' be accepted? I'm guessing yes...
10:30 am
Haz1558
I would be certain that camisole would be acceptable.
10:31 am

Just rearrange a couple of tiles...
10:32 am

Miyavi_fan long time no see.. hope all is well with you... I am back this morning to finish my last 65 words.....LOL

1:20 pm
Haz1558

1:20 pm
Flask1

1:20 pm
Nef

1:21 pm

1:21 pm
mymuseisme
sigh...need a break and still have 64 left
1:21 pm
Haz1558
The dictionary - it's called the Enable dictionary - as in this will enable you to find the words in the grid that Enable allows.

Broast should be a word. Anyone remember "Broasted Chicken"?
1:21 pm
Flask1
ok thanks for the information....!
1:22 pm
artlady
I agree, tor! (ok...I'm really going to wrok now...)
1:22 pm
mab
it's more like 'disable'
1:22 pm
Miyavi_fan
lmao, Mab! xDDD
1:22 pm
mab
I tried broast.
1:24 pm
mab
was dinner awsome licks miy (now I have to work that phrase into every context, just to be annoying)
1:24 pm
mab
as if I needed to try
1:25 pm
saphyre
ok 5 c's to go but i have to rn out to the store- back in a bit
1:25 pm
Miyavi_fan
8DDD dinner was awesome licks indeed...sitting on the edge of a little perch pecking seeds out of my feeder, never better ^^
1:26 pm
mab
what is 'broasting' anyway? obviously a cross between broiling and roasting, but what is that?
1:27 pm
puptone
broasting is cooking something in the oven - door closed - upper broiler element on instead of the lower element on
1:28 pm
puptone
I broast chicken that way all the time - you put the food on a lower rack, not a high one
1:28 pm
mab
I'm amazed that anyone knows that. Thank you puptone.
1:28 pm
Haz1558
Miyavi - your nose-bag reference reminded me of a story told about a lady who was feeling sick while on a coach tour. She had put the handles of a plastic bag round her ears, and was sitting ready to use it if necessary!
1:28 pm
Miyavi_fan
Haz, seriously?! 8DDDD
1:29 pm
Miyavi_fan
oooh dear. Mental images now
1:29 pm
mab
the ingenuity of some!
1:29 pm
Atalante
omg I've done that too ... the joys of being insanely travel sick in cars ...
1:29 pm
Haz1558
Seriously! The rest of the coach party had problems keeping their face straight.
1:30 pm
Miyavi_fan
hm...perhaps I could rig up a similar arrangement with my eyes, to stop my tear-athons overflowing when I watch sad films...
ooh, The Fan has a plan...
1:31 pm
Haz1558
Atalante - are you okay in the front passenger seat? I can no longer travel in the back seat of a car.
1:31 pm
Flask1
Well I have just looked at 'Enable' and just as I thought....its a Purely American Dictionary.........now I know why some of the clues are so ambiguous at times!!
1:31 pm
Atalante
only if I take my travel sickness meds (prescription strength LOL!) I can manage about 10 minutes normally without half dying ...
1:31 pm
mymuseisme
any clues for the ca6 after the singer please? it's driving me crazy
1:32 pm
Haz1558
It's the plural of what the singer is singing
1:32 pm
mymuseisme
lol figures it's that simple, ty haz
1:33 pm
Haz1558
That must be horrible for you Atalante. Coach trips would be a form of torture, presumably?
1:34 pm
Haz1558
mymuse - it took me a while to figure out as well!
1:34 pm
Flask1
Do you drive Atlante?
1:34 pm
Atalante
I've never felt so ill as on coach trips. I don't remember this, thank goodness, but apparently when my parents - in their infinite wisdom - decided to take us on holiday to Austria on a coach, I ended up more unconscious than anything else for most of the journey! Its ridiculous!
1:35 pm
Atalante
no ... but actually I've decided to take lessons again now - I've finally found a travel sickness thing that *works* ... its one of the drugs that use to subdue nausea in hospitals after operations!
1:36 pm
torgone
"Broasted Chickenâ„¢" is actually a brand name for a kind of pressure fryer ..
1:36 pm
Flask1
well....I think you would see a big difference if you were the driver....istead of being driven!
1:37 pm
Haz1558
But don't try the nose-bag sickness routine taking your test. It wouldn't inspire confidence in the examiner.
1:37 pm
chiley
help with the en's
1:38 pm
Flask1
rofl.......I love it, Haz!!!!
1:38 pm
Haz1558
en words help you to become a member
1:39 pm
chiley
Thanx...it seems so simple once you see the clue
1:39 pm
mab
that is truly appalling, atalante. how awful.
1:40 pm
Haz1558
It's probably far from being a laughing matter for you, Atalante! I hope the meds continue to help.
1:41 pm
mab
I think if the examiner thought you were about to vomit, he or she would give you an instant pass.
1:41 pm
Atalante
I have to laugh lol. Otherwise its too depressing! And most of the time it *is* pretty funny when you look at it dispassionately! It just bugs me when people don't realise travel sickness can actually be really shitty!
1:41 pm
Flask1
I know, Atlante am not laughing at your misfortune at all........but what Haz said was funny!!
1:42 pm
Atalante
lol don't worry flask - I can laugh about it as much as anyone!
1:42 pm
Atalante
that's a good idea mab! I'll have to remember that one!
1:42 pm
mymuseisme
I feel for you atalante, my niece also gets sick in cars, but *I can't understand* can take all those crazy roller coasters

its when someone torments you a bit Flask
2:22 pm
Haz1558
The basis for lots of the te 6, 7 and 8 words is the te5/10 - to torment or joke with. Add the letter that begins letter at the end for the first te6/18 and carry on developing.
2:22 pm
Haz1558
The final te6/18, and the last in the series is the tormentor
2:23 pm

4 words have to do with ship

hi annie and torgone
4:40 pm
ladynoire1013
got those four Muse
4:40 pm
Layne
Two bo words have to do with braggarts.
4:41 pm
ch1212
the toughest on the bo words is probably the bo 7/36 and bo 8/50 (plural)... birth + 2nd vowel + 4th vowel, then plural
4:41 pm
mymuseisme
one might be an island in the Pacific
4:41 pm
mymuseisme
one sounds like the game with ten pins
4:41 pm
ladynoire1013
no, wait, I'm missing a bo ship word
4:41 pm
Layne
One bo relates to the Northern Lights.
4:41 pm
ladynoire1013
got the ten pins word
4:42 pm
ch1212
one small one is the plural of the feather little girls like to dress up in (and big girls too) ...oops, and of course some men too
4:42 pm
Layne
One bo means carried -- as in air-bo*** diseases.
4:43 pm
ch1212
Layne, who is the artist of your icon? I really like it.
4:43 pm
ladynoire1013
don't have the 8/50 one
4:43 pm
ch1212
see the clue at 4:41 for the bo 8/50
4:43 pm
torgone
The odd ship word is like a hotel for bo5/14 ..
4:44 pm
ladynoire1013
Ch12, say the 8/50 one again
4:44 pm
Layne
For the bo 8/50, start out with an island in the Pacific -- "Wild Men of Bo****". Then monkey 2 consonants.
4:44 pm
Eva
ch-I have a bo7/36-but is has to do with someone who is filled with her/himself. Is there another one? There must be, and it can be made into the 8/50, but I didn'd udnerstand your clue.
4:45 pm
Layne
Eva, pluralize the thing.
4:45 pm
ch1212
plural your 7, lady
4:45 pm
mymuseisme
yes Eva take the bo5/14 and add ending of tylen**
4:45 pm
Layne
Oh no, sorry, wrong bo. There's another.
4:45 pm
ladynoire1013
what do you mean by monkey two consonats
4:45 pm
mymuseisme
also plural it
4:45 pm
mymuseisme
to the word you just typed in the log
4:46 pm
ch1212
Eva I probably botched up my clue -- I've been guilty of that lately :(
4:46 pm
Eva
thank you ch and mymuse-got them!~
4:46 pm
Layne
Eva, since we've probably confused you, let me say that the bo having to do with someone full of themselves cannot be pluralized. WE're talking about another bo 7.
4:46 pm
faeriekae
Fireworks for me!!!!
4:46 pm
Eva
thanks Layne-have it straighened out now
4:47 pm
ch1212
I'll try it again ... bo 7/36 - start with the word for birth (bo**) then add 2nd vowel, then 4th vowel, then consonent that is sticklike. Now plural
4:47 pm
mymuseisme
yay faeriekae!!
4:47 pm

This grid is ridiculous. I'm wondering how and why they restrained themselves from using words like ECDYSONE, and similar ones... They could make the game even more unpalatable! I'm outta here...
6:25 pm
musicmom
I was that way artlady. In fact, I usually am that way. I have to agree with myself before I even enter the first word if I'm going to be okay not finishing.
6:25 pm
musicmom
bye erda
6:26 pm
musicmom
today has been hectic but I couldn't resist putting in the first words this morning. So I made a deal with my brain that I wouldn't get hung up on finishing today.
