1:37 am

jillibus

sprite -- I wished a local Dutch friend a happy sinterklaasfeest and she replied "Hartelijk dank" which I'm guessing means "Hearty thanks" ---?

1:38 am

sprite

Thank you very much, it means. "hartelijk" is literally "cordially"

1:39 am

jillibus

Nice, Thanks, sprite. There are a lot of Dutch expats here.

1:40 am

sprite

They will be surprised that you even know 5/12 is Sinterklaas :D

1:40 am

jillibus

I only ave the aq8.

1:41 am

jillibus

Interesting you say 5/12 -- ther were some who insisted it was 6/12

1:41 am

FranMag

jilli, i have no idea what your icon is, can you give me a definition?

1:42 am

sprite

something mountainish?

1:42 am

FranMag

ooh, got it! good monkeys

1:42 am

sprite

Saint Nicolas's Day = 6th of December. The night before is Pakjesavond (night of the gifts). Hence the confusion.

1:43 am

jillibus

Fran, French for track or ski-trail - maybe not too familiar in Hawaii - lol

1:43 am

FranMag

of course i'd never heard the word before, i've only seen snow a couple of times

1:43 am

jillibus

Ah, thanks, sprite.

1:45 am

jillibus

And what does Balck Peter do? I seem to remember he sorts the good from the naughty -- ?

1:45 am

jillibus

*Black

1:46 am

sprite

He is the big help of Sinterklaas. In the old tradition, he walked the roofs and listened in on the chimneys. There he heard if you were naughty or nice, told it to Sint and Sint wrote it in his Big Book.

1:46 am

FranMag

i'll be back in a little bit, see you all later!

1:46 am

saphyre

bye fran

1:46 am

sprite

Bye Fran

1:47 am

jillibus

TTFN, fran

1:47 am

jillibus

Sprite, that's such fun!

1:48 am

sprite

On Pakjesavond, Sint and his Black Peters deliver the gifts, or if you had been bad, you got a 'roe' (don't know the english word, it is a bunch of twigs that was used to spank your behind).

1:48 am

sprite

And if you were really really bad, you were put into the Sack of Sint, and you had to come with him to Spain, lol. Quite an incentive on being bad, I think!

1:49 am

jillibus

Great! In the English tradition you got a lump of coal in your stocking if you were naughty

1:49 am

sprite

Black Peters also throw sweets into groups of kids, and into the houses when they deliver gifts.

1:50 am

jillibus

Oh, let's be baaad and get to the Costa del Sol!

1:50 am

sprite

In the time just before Sinterklaas, kids get to 'set their shoes'. This is very much like the stocking tradition you have for Christmas.

1:50 am

sprite

YEAH! I always wanted to go to Spain, but wasn't brave enough to be bad enough as kid :)

1:50 am

saphyre

lol sprite

1:51 am

Zie ginds komt de stoomboot,
uit Spanje weer aan.
Hij brengt ons Sint-Nikolaas,
ik zie hem al staan.
Hoe waaien de wimpels,
al heen en al weer.
Hoe huppelt zijn paardje,
het dek op en neer.
Zijn knecht staat te lachen,
en roept ons reeds toe:
â€œWie braaf is krijgt lekkers,
wie stout is de roe.â€

1:58 am

sprite

You can also add poems to the gifts, jilli - simple rhymes in which you can tease the recipient with his (bad) habits or funny things he did in the last year

1:58 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble - one of the most famous Sinterklaas songs indeed!

1:58 am

o-o

See there arrives the steamboat,
From Spain again.
It brings us Saint Nicolas,
I see him standing there already.
Look how the flags,
Flutter back and forth.
Look how his little horse,
Hops up and down the deck.
His servant stands there, laughing
And he shouts at us:
â€œWhoâ€™s good, gets sweets,
Whoâ€™s bad, gets the whip.â€

She will know it for sure :)
It is so funny, the word 'ginds' is rather old fashioned, but all kids sing it anyway - without any idea what it means and not caring whatsoever :)

How accurate is the translation, sprite?

2:06 am

sprite

it is, gary.

2:06 am

The Great Leigh

sprite, i think singing words you don't know in traditional songs is a custom in every language

2:07 am

sprite

Pretty accurate, BabbleRabble!

2:07 am

sprite

Yes, I think so too, Leigh. I also remember singing songs in english long before I learned the language. Worked fine for me :)

2:13 am

sprite

A friend of mine told me that for years she used to sing "You're the devil in the skies". She only found out afterwards that the word 'disguise' should have been in there somewhere :)

2:16 am

o-o

Is Andersen's Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates, a tale known to all in the Netherlands, sprite?

2:17 am

sprite

Used to be, BabbleRabble. But people pay less attention to fairytales nowadays, alas. Don't think a lot of schools or parents still tell the tales.

2:21 am

mkl

trying to get my last few 7's. Can someone clue the em7? I don't have the em6 either.

2:21 am

jillibus

but babbleRabble, you knew the song before googling? Howcum?

2:25 am

mkl

We live about thirty miles outside of Fairbanks. A little town called Salcha

Strider_45

I would have invited you but I thought we were just not going to study

2:32 am

Strider_45

I'm going to finish some property and then try some contracts. I think we are going to go over takings before lost night. I will need to go to campus too.

2:32 am

The Great Leigh

3:00 am

Haz1558

Good morning. Cyborg, you can give a definition, or break the word up into syllables, or give a cryptic clue. A rule of thumb is not to give away more than 2 letters.

3:01 am

Flask1

you said you needed the 3rd 8 word....so which 2 do you have........1st 2 letters of each word

3:01 am

Haz1558

I remember my father telling me a story of when he was a young lad being sent to work on a farm. He and some other lads thought the old man digging was incredibly slow. They started off at a great pace, but ended up exhausted after a while. The old man kept up his slow pace, but was still going at the end of the day. Dad learned the lesson, pace yourself!

4:06 am

sprite

Correct, just have to learn to live with it - hopefully in a way that will enable me to get old with it.

4:06 am

Haz, that is a GOOD story. Will remember that. I am the start-out-running type.

Thanks....guess I'll have to do some REAL work now.

11:28 am

hey, nan!

11:28 am

Hi nan!!

11:28 am

Haz1558

Hello cybernan - are you not early today?

11:28 am

Anj

Hi C-Nan : )

11:29 am

Karys

hello cybernan :)

11:30 am

cybernan

yes -- I'm here because I need to work off my frustration -- I agree it may not be the best place!

11:30 am

Haz1558

Oh dear - why are you frustrated?

11:30 am

caitlyn

Bad day nan??

11:31 am

cybernan

Picked up my new drapes yesterday. Got hubby out of bed early to help hang them and they are not right. I was hoping to have them up before Christmas, but goodness only knows now!

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nan!

11:31 am

Karys

back in a bit

11:31 am

Haz1558

Why are they not right?

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

You still have over two weeks, plenty of time to replace them. Did they give you the wrong ones?

11:32 am

caitlyn

Thats very frustrating nan

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

Bye KAry's

11:32 am

caitlyn

Bye Karys

11:32 am

cybernan

There was supposed to be an even number of tabs across the top of the 2 centre panels -- there are 17 -- after I specifically requested an even number so that the drapes would be evenly distributed on either side of the supporting bracket.

11:33 am

Haz1558

And have they put uneven numbers on both sides?

11:34 am

bunnyvicious

Can you take em to a seamstrees? They are usually very cheap (around here), get it done quickly, and you won't have to wait on a re-order?
(Just a thought, I just but mine at Wally World and stick em on the hanger....)

11:34 am

DRBERNABO

you mistake is that it makes sense and therefore it is beyond their ability to understand

11:35 am

jan

Isn't regatti the plural for an Italian boat parade?

11:36 am

caitlyn

LOL jan

11:36 am

cybernan

the outside panels don't really matter but the two centre ones do as they gather between two windows when they are open -- it's hard to explain -- three windows, floor to ceiling, with two feet of wall between each and the brackets centred on the two feet of wall, so there has to be an even number of tabs on each half of the panel instead of a centre tab on the panel.

11:36 am

Merk

sp 5, 14 please

11:36 am

DRBERNABO

no, regatta is also the plural; it refers to a race or series of races

11:36 am

FMitch

Have they said how long it might take to get them redone c-nan?

11:37 am

caitlyn

Merk add a vowel to sp4

11:37 am

Haz1558

I would explain your frustration to the people who made them and request that the tabs be redistributed. Hopefully it can be done quickly and they will want to have a happy rather than an unhappy customer.

11:37 am

DRBERNABO

back track the last verb for the things on the sp*** rack in your kitchen

11:38 am

cybernan

I hope you are right, Haz -- will phone when they open

11:38 am

hydra

Help with a ga5/16 please. I have the one that children play.

11:38 am

Haz1558

I have friends in the interior design business - they are used to people needing things tweaked (although everything they have ever done for me has been perfect)

11:39 am

hydra

Oops. No, it's a 6/27. Got that wrong! It's the one before the reproductive one.

11:39 am

Uneaixoise

most ga4/7

11:39 am

DRBERNABO

the person most willing to play along

11:39 am

Haz1558

ga6/27 - superlative for the chidren's play thing when used as an adjective for brave

11:39 am

hydra

And now I've got it! Many thanks drbernabo

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

drb - wonderinf oif the at5/6 i have is your icon clue....

11:41 am

Merk

I need the second sp 5,14. I have the first one that is added to the obnoxious Italian term and the 5 and two 6 words after it. Then I need the sp 5,14 next.

11:41 am

hydra

As an old rock journalist, I'll have to look it up, drb.

11:43 am

Haz1558

Merk - the second sp5/14 is plural the term you find offensive

11:44 am

DRBERNABO

If the picture enlarged more you could see the word(s)

11:44 am

Merk

Ah, bless you, my friend.

12:10 pm

caitlyn

Yes please rolin..with ice please

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have the mire, and the measure

12:10 pm

DesignByRazor

How many words do you all usually try to get before using the list? I'm new, so I rarely get more than 50 or 60 before I do...

12:10 pm

anawaltgal

1/2 for me

12:11 pm

walnutchen

designbyrazor: i try to get at least 100. If there is less than 100 words, then I try for half.

12:11 pm

bunnyvicious

Depends on the size of the grid or how much of a hurry I'm in, I like to get down to 20 before I pull it out.

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

got the last q! yay me!

12:11 pm

caitlyn

I just go until I run out of words

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

rolin

TO...a qu measure?

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i can't get lickety when i am at work. so i am listless

12:11 pm

phandmd

not sure which one TO is refering too my self

12:12 pm

stidmama

depends... my goal for most grids is to get 100 words, then I go do my real work and play in the evening again. If it's a slow grid I use the list early, if it's a fast grid, I try to get below 20 words.

12:12 pm

stidmama

1:32 pm

Bloodaxe

amazing.

1:32 pm

Bloodaxe

did you get any pictures or anything?

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

woulda been better if (1) i were more familiar with the new album and (2) i had seen the movie -- cause i think quite a bit of the show was based on the movie

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

but it was great rockin, and very funny

1:33 pm

EvaNadine

i got a shirt. :)

1:33 pm

Bloodaxe

i still haven't heard anything off the new albums

DRBERNABO

it certainly helps to have a dirty mind with this grid

1:36 pm

torgone

metaleather

yes indeed DrB. The other day one needed to be a stoner, today the pervs abound

1:36 pm

Jaime

Tenacious D?

1:36 pm

DRBERNABO

and the final word again turns out to be a plural of a word I already had

1:37 pm

DRBERNABO

at least it was not "anent," the first word two of the last three days and my last word BOTH times (because I refuse to learn easy lessons)

1:37 pm

metaleather

Fireworks Dr.B? congrats!!

1:37 pm

DRBERNABO

yes I got "crowned" on the last one

1:37 pm

DRBERNABO

and there were even mutliple icons of that one to really force the irony down my throat

1:40 pm

metaleather

most distressing indeed, but you're well clear of it now

1:40 pm

cybernan

sa 5?

1:41 pm

stidmama

sa 5 looks like French for "holy"

1:42 pm

1:52 pm

chj

sa*** iliac

1:52 pm

riemann

That's OK. I played someone better 2 weeks ago. Played to a draw the first game, then beat him the second. I think he's pleading mental illness.

1:52 pm

stidmama

blood -- the part of my back that hurts today (again) is the sa***iliac... change just last vowel

1:52 pm

metaleather

Blood, think "holy"... drop the final consonant and change the ending vowel

1:53 pm

stidmama

better than you? *look of disbelief*

1:53 pm

metaleather

or, think lower back, your sa* * o iliac , drop the iliac and change the final vowel

1:53 pm

stidmama

LOL chj -- not you, too? sitting on heat at the moment, need to cycle to cold in a bit...

1:53 pm

Bloodaxe

thanks y'all.

1:53 pm

Merk

the sa starts out like something holy.

1:54 pm

riemann

Oh, yes. In the scheme of competitive players, I *might* rank as a novice, but I don't think I'm that good.

1:55 pm

stidmama

wow... *realizing how bad I really stink at chess*

1:56 pm

riemann

chess is like bridge: 95% of the players don't rate as novices in the competitive groups.

1:56 pm

stidmama

okay riemann, here are the fellows unwrapping their St. Nick present... I need to take one of them actually playing, it seems. You might need to refresh to see it

1:56 pm

stidmama

and I stink at bridge, too! LOL
