ARB

The US tickets must be expensive.

12:14 am

harpjane

i know i'm going to regret asking, what's IPO>

12:14 am

Erda

Who was the conductor?

12:15 am

melonheadjujube

esp in NYC - when they came to Cleveland, other than priey Patron tix, top price was $60, not too bad.

12:15 am

melonheadjujube

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

12:15 am

Ankhorite

IPO = Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra??

12:15 am

melonheadjujube

sorry, ARB & i have a few shorthands.

12:16 am

DRBERNABO

wa 7 & 8

12:16 am

Erda

WHO WAS THE CONDUCTOR?

12:16 am

ARB

Sorry Erda, was not paying attention to your question. It was Giampoaolo Bisanti who stepped in at the last minute (2 days) for Daniel Oren who decided not to come (and gave no reason)

12:16 am

harpjane

cool IPO.

12:16 am

Erda

Thank you, ARB

12:17 am

harpjane

I wonder who their harpist is\

12:17 am

4t8

as well as a bright 7 and 8

12:17 am

Ankhorite

Dang, DR, way ahead of me.

12:17 am

melonheadjujube

I was trying to print an article from Maariv (in Hebrew0 and the printer just would not cooperate - I'm finding Apple is less Hebrew friendly than PC, sorry tp say.

12:17 am

ARB

Giampaola Bisanti . Mimi was Susanna Branchini. A concert performance, but she died on the stage sitting in a chair and the entire audience was crying, including the conductor.

12:18 am

melonheadjujube

I pint short articles to practise my reading - try to stick to the "tarbu" (culture) section - I need a break from politics.

12:18 am

Oh, hey, there's a native Israeli in the grid.

12:18 am

harpjane

I've always been amazed at how many high notes a dying soprano can hit....

12:18 am

melonheadjujube

tx mymuse - got'em ;)

12:18 am

ARB

There might be some more software you need for the printer connection.

12:19 am

Erda

Who was Rodolfo?

12:19 am

ARB

Ankh -- terrific. It's also the Hebrew word for a cactus fruit.

12:20 am

Ankhorite

Yes! :)

12:20 am

melonheadjujube

Haaretz on Firefox works - sometimes i just go to the library if there's something I really want to read - I print it on their 'puters w/o difficulty.

12:20 am

melonheadjujube

tx Ankh & ARB!

12:20 am

Faerie

time for me to call it a day so I'm off to bed. Happy Babbling

12:20 am

ARB

Rodolfo was Valter Borin, a young Italian. Not the greatest voice, though not bad, but terrific stage presence. We sit in the 6th row, so we see the sweat, the spit, the grimaces, and the smiles.

12:21 am

melonheadjujube

Was it staed or in concert?

12:21 am

Ankhorite

Txs for the comfort, Faerie, sleep tight.

12:21 am

Erda

I think Oren is in New York now, but I could be wrong

12:21 am

ARB

Concert

12:21 am

melonheadjujube

staged, i meant

12:22 am

melonheadjujube

darn - hot flash.

12:22 am

Erda

gaes

12:22 am

Erda

oops

12:23 am

ARB

Oren will NOT be invited back to Israel (he's Israel, by the way) for a loooooooong time. He was done this twice now to the IPO and twice to the Opera company -- cancel , either at the last minute or halfway through preparatins.

12:23 am

MVA

nite gadget

12:59 am

Su8 is a compound kind of word. Under + P5/14.
Ou8 has a prefix and makes noise.

12:59 am

ARB

so is su 8

1:01 am

melonheadjujube

oh, there 'tis - thought i had typed that earlier - but as one can see from my chats - i must not look up very often - naturally no typos this time.

1:07 am

sprite

It is a wellknown fact of life that we can be very blind to ourselves

1:07 am

ARB

no, I think I interpreted your posting as about the native fruit and its plural.

1:08 am

harpjane

ooops my bad, that doesn't work

1:08 am

sprite

another vowel?

1:08 am

:D

kinky su5/6 combo ;)

3:52 am

kangabrat

very slow for me! (maybe shouldn't have had the glass of wine first!)

3:54 am

lynxxx

Hi. are you in Adelaide Kanga? (the drink sounds like a good idea!)

3:55 am

kangabrat

No, in Sydney. Good idea, but it makes my brain v. slow. Particularly after a hard day (not) at the easel.

3:57 am

kangabrat

Are you in Adelaide lynxxx? (I've got family there.)

3:59 am

lynxxx

No, Melbourne - you know, that place covered in a thick layer of smoke. I noticed the other day that you seemed to be a half hour different to me so I was guessing Adelaide.

4:01 am

kangabrat

Haven't caught the news recently... smoke?!

4:03 am

lynxxx

not news any longer - still the bushfires continuing to burn - and so when there is no wind it becomes really quite bad - central & eastern areas totally covered today

4:04 am

kangabrat

Excuse ignorance! Just been filled in by scornful partner, who tells me the smoke I noticed yesterday in Sydney was from you. Must be truly awful down there.

4:05 am

lynxxx

It is - but it must be horrible to be where the fires actually are!

4:06 am

zysx

4:09 am

5:44 am

kangabrat

tell me about it!

5:44 am

zysx

well....

5:45 am

Eva

maybe it I take a break and come back with fresh eyes...

5:45 am

lynxxx

I may eat my words (77 left - no list yet) but I am enjoying this one much more than yesterday

5:45 am

Scrabbler

I am slowing down too---94 left, and I don't have as much time to play this AM--we got lots of snow overnite so I need to head out early for the drive

5:46 am

Eva

think I'd rather eat breakfast than words lynxxx

5:46 am

Scrabbler

That always helps Eva---new words will jump out at you

5:46 am

kangabrat

Just 12 left, and my bedtime was 15 minutes ago.

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Eva!

5:46 am

o-o

This grid is a piece of cake

5:47 am

lynxxx

go Kanga!

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Come one, kanga, let's get you some fireworks so you can hit the sack.

5:47 am

Eva

that's not fair Scrabbler!!!! The snow I mean. We are just dying economically without it. And I look forward to winter, to the down time, the quiet, even the cold. This sucks.

5:47 am

lynxxx

Hi BabbleR!

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Are you done, BR?

5:48 am

o-o

Hello... and I finished a while ago

5:48 am

sparklygem

fireworks!

5:48 am

Scrabbler

The ski places are dying here too---I live in ski country and there is a ski resort on the hill across from mine---they are going crazy without snow and without cold weather to make snow

5:48 am

sparklygem

any clues before I go?

5:48 am

gramma

Hi everybody. Eva, I agree. This is the pits! My poor son works in the ski industry. Talk about being depressed.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Yippeeee sparklygem!

5:49 am

Scrabbler

This snowfall should jumpstart things, but the industry has lost 4-6 wks of ski season

5:49 am

sparklygem

ty!

5:49 am

gramma

sparklygem, clue us the word you found the most difficult or strange.

5:49 am

Eva

none of the ski areas in Vermont have been open. And our local place, which relies on sugaring in the fall and cross country in the winter, is empty. This is also really bad for the maple trees.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

BR--were you up overnite doing the grid?

5:50 am

Buttonman

clue for the second ta 6/27 which is also the 3rd ta 6

5:58 am

Scrabbler

But that is more than 25 words, zysx, so it wouldn't fit--maybe we should remove the prefix

Buttonman

SCRABBLER, how about the last goof, did you have it?

5:58 am

zysx

Scrabbler

to 6/18 is a plural

6:04 am

I'm still trying to misspell that state.

6:11 am

lynxxx

spell it phonetically gramma

6:11 am

gramma

Got it. ty

6:11 am

Buttonman

gramm, the last letter is the snake

6:12 am

o-o

is the "snake" always the s?

6:14 am

lynxxx

think so BabbleR, or plural letter (as opposed to Latin plural = e)

6:15 am

Haz1558

Though latin plural can sometimes be i. Just to keep things interesting. Or even a.

6:15 am

lynxxx

speaking of which, there is the 2 forms of plural for the musical instrument tu4

6:16 am

lynxxx

lol Haz - but in that case the afore-mentioned 'latin' plural

6:16 am

o-o

so, somehow saying "snake" is not saying "s" even though everyone starts looking for one

6:16 am

o-o

so, somehow saying "snake" is not saying "s" even though everyone starts looking for one

6:16 am

gramma

Phantom word of the day "roast"

Okay, off to the shops - back later, hopefully.

6:17 am

lynxxx

I have never seen anyone say snake to me a latin plural

6:18 am

Aloyisius

bye, lynxxx.. have a good sleep

6:20 am

Enci - you could drive yourself mad looking for logic in the Enable dictionary.

9:09 am

hurshy

*nods* road to insanity, yes indeed

9:09 am

Enci

but there are some proper nouns that do count- e.g. to 4/4...OK I will leave logic to the side

Jacula

I must go. Other Half will be home in about 20 mins and I need to 'look busy'.;-)

9:09 am

Jacula

Happy Babbling, all!

9:09 am

K.Elisabet

I'm finding it less straightforward than some.

1:32 pm

Charm

yes, but I do that every grid. what's different today?

1:33 pm

hurshy

it's a little on the tough side

1:33 pm

torgone

No dirty words?

1:34 pm

Charm

that's good, Tor. I always cringe when I find some expletives which should be deleted.

1:34 pm

torgone

No wait, there's at least one . .

1:34 pm

Charm

And if Hurshy says it's tough, .... sigh

1:35 pm

hurshy

i said a LITTLE on the tough side

1:35 pm

Charm

oh, ok <perks up>

1:35 pm

hurshy

i mean, i always go for 80% on my own, without opening the chat, and if i find that a bit of a struggle, that's a little tough. if i just can't do that, then it's really tough.

1:36 pm

Charm

we're on a similar wavelength, Hursh - I aim for about 75% on my own. so it's not exactly easy today. that's all right.

1:37 pm

Kenny Chuck

sa4 please?

1:37 pm

hurshy

if i reach 90% without even breaking a sweat, that's a lovely easy grid! :)

I remember when I quit on New Year's Day about 22 years ago. A meter reader came to read our water meter and apparently our last payment had gotten credited to someone else's account, so this guy from our village came to the door and was going to shut my water off. I was like a lunatic, cabin fever and nicotine withdrawal during a chicago below zero cold spell with a baby and toddler home. I nearly decked the fellow, I was that angry. He actually ran out of my house, lol, afraid for his life! I've never done that since, but it sure felt good to give a total stranger a piece of my mind!

Hi everyone! Just dropped in and saw your discussion of "quit'smoking"efforts. I did that 14 years ago, used the patches but without phsychological help. I couldn't stand those patches during the night, so I put a new one on every morning. After six weeks I realized at 4 p.m. tht I had forgotten to put on a new patch, and never did again. And had quit smoking! participated in a CT Lung scan five years ago and have no damage. I feel for all of you who are still trying to quit

2:52 pm

The last time I saw you,
Held you,
Caressed you
Inhaled youâ€¦
I dismissed you
Threw you aside
Pledging â€“ no Vowing â€“
To never look back

Now, a mere six hours later
My hand yearns for you
Need your touch
On my fingers
On my lips
In my mouth
Filling me
Please Please fill me

a poem I wrote about quitting smoking

Scrabbler

Ouch, Kate!

Scrabbler

3:55 pm

TeaNCrackers

I think I am going to ignore him!

3:56 pm

kthdsn

good plan

3:56 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, TNC, they all read the same book and get proper instructions on tantrums--it is a conspiracy against parents

3:56 pm

Scrabbler

It gets worse---adolescents have BIG BAD tantrums!

3:57 pm

Kazzer99

thanks for clue got all three

3:57 pm

KatieMcG

But when they grow up they come and house sit for your three cats :-)

3:57 pm

torgone

You'll be surprised how quickly they they calm down if they get no attention .. A tantrum is hard work, and they'll lose interest if they don't get a reaction ..

3:58 pm

TeaNCrackers

his word for potty and his word for nursing are very similar and he is making the sign for nursing but that is NOT what he wants - oh my goodness!

3:58 pm

At the moment I am house sitting, selling my house, doing up my fiancee's house, planning a wedding (mine) and a hen night (my best friends), I think I just need to sleep for a while :-)

4:04 pm

Scrabbler

There are certain trees in the world, places I have lived or visited, that I feel are my friends. As a kid I used to climb our huge maple tree and sit there for hours reading.

4:04 pm

Thanks all for your help.

kthdsn

because it's in both our names it will stay that way, but if I leave the country I will be outside of the british jurisdiction so they will chase him not me for payments, that applies to all debts that he has been a part of, so I could add him to my credit card accounts and leave without paying them as a last resort

Hi, all. I'm in Asheville, NC, and we had 5 1/2 inches of snow today, in the city... the poor, confused shrubs that bloomed prematurely are shivering in their branches. It'll be 70 in two days... go figure! I have two words and my monkey is officially gone to the great banana farm in the sky. Help? The last CO 6/21; and the SU 8/65.

5:42 pm

Kazzer99

ty ty ty

5:43 pm

Kazzer99

only r and ts left - might finsh before bed

5:43 pm

Haz1558

The last co6/21 is the plural (English) of the co5/12 that begins the whole sequence of words

5:43 pm

helenkeller

su 8/65 = under + *****r (the thing on star trek you can set on 'stun' & neutralize someone)

5:43 pm

chj

hk....watch the movie.....it's my favorite hitchcock and altho i never read the book, it's my understanding that selznick made hitch cock stick pretty closely to the novel

5:44 pm

Haz1558

su8/65 - three letters meaning under, then five letters to indicate a stage in life, a temporary type of thing.

5:44 pm

chj

and i agree it's one of the best opening lines

5:45 pm

Haz1558

Are you talking about Rebecca?

5:45 pm

helenkeller

hiya chj - in researching the icon, SPOILER ALERT: i read there were 2 major changes - one, given the times, they did not let on that the husband killed the first wife (gasp!) in the movie & the housekeeper dies in the fire - there ya go for spoilers

5:45 pm

helenkeller

haz - yes, my icon

5:46 pm

Haz1558

Ah - the book is great. I also love My Cousin Rachel. I can never work out if she is innocent or guilty.

5:47 pm

helenkeller

haz - i haven't read that one - any good?

5:48 pm

Haz1558

It's excellent - so well written that you can't figure out if Rachel killed or not.

5:48 pm

Scarlet

Thank you helenkeller and Haz1558, it took a bit of pecking but I found it. Any clues for the Co 6/21?

5:48 pm

helenkeller

i am jotting it down!

5:48 pm

chj

SPOILER: doesnt mrs danvers die in the book? and did maxim kill rebecca in the book?

5:49 pm

Haz1558

Yes, he killed Rebecca and admitted as such.

5:49 pm

helenkeller

yes - he killed her

5:50 pm

Scarlet

Got it, Haz1558. Fireworks and thank you all for such great clues in the chat! :-)

5:50 pm

helenkeller

chj - you must read the book, conveys a whole different feeling

5:50 pm

chj

so does the new wife stay with maxim after learning this?

5:51 pm

Haz1558

BUT he escapes punishment because it was discovered that she was terminally ill and the supposition is made that she committed suicide. His REAL punishment was in having to live abroad.

5:51 pm

helenkeller

wd scarlet !

5:51 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it's the new wife who narrates the story.

5:51 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations Scarlet!

5:51 pm

helenkeller

yes, & hence the sense of relief when she finds out the truth

5:51 pm

Okay - now I'm leaving. I actually was on my way out when I saw that word as I walked by

I would also recommend Mrs. DeWinter by Susan Hill which is a sequel. Not everyone liked it but I did. I loved the original. Also read Frenchman's creek. now all i can think of is the first line.

5:57 pm

I've read the sequel as well, but wasn't sure about it. I wouldn't read it again and again as I would with Du Maurier.

true, Haz; but a whole week without finding at least half of the grid is worrysome to me!

6:17 pm

Kazzer99

Hi again i am stuck on what I think is first to 4/4 and then to 5/12

6:18 pm

I wouldn't worry about it, you'll pick up again.

6:19 pm

cybernan

is there a to 6?

6:19 pm

Nef

thanks for the kind encouragement, Haz! :D

6:19 pm

Haz1558

The first to4/4 ends in a vowel. The to5/12 uses the first three letters of the small hill then the shortened form of America/you and me.

6:19 pm

Kazzer99

yes it a plural of to 5/10

6:19 pm

Haz1558

Yes, cybernan, a plural

6:19 pm

7:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, i have a ph 5/18. i think it was also an episode of Voyagor <g>

7:31 pm

7:32 pm

No, no 800 grid words.

7:32 pm

featherbee

lol, s'ok matt

7:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there was a kid in my high school who got a prize for a science experiement with bacteria and mouthwash

7:32 pm

lbdawger

I think i'd shut down and cry if there was a grid that huge! i think there was one 400+ but the 350's are bad enough

7:33 pm

stidmatt

We just started growing the bacterium today.

7:33 pm

jillibus

matt, I remember studying bacterioph5/18 when doing bacteriology at McGill decades ago. Is that your interest?

7:33 pm

stidmatt

I wonder what type of bacterium we will get, I hope not STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS.

7:33 pm

featherbee

ok, focusing back on the grid

7:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

put bacteria on four petrie dishes (using his own saliva), then tried four diff brand-name mouthwashes so see if they actually killed the little things

7:34 pm

stidmatt

Yes Jillibus. That is what I am going to do when I grow up because they can be used medicinally.

7:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the post popular brand-name mouthwash came in *last*

7:34 pm

jillibus

I had to write a paper on vibrio cholera, gaaa!

7:34 pm

stid, umm, yup. but before i sold it, i showed it to a friend was was majoring in bacteria in college

7:36 pm

jillibus

b-ph5/18 was hailed as a weapon against bacteria way back in 1946 and earlier-- seemed to fizzle out because of all the antibiotics which are now overused

7:36 pm

she was working on listeria, IIRC

ra6/30 is one of the funniest words ever. Anyone know what it means?

7:37 pm

stidmatt

/she think of it?

7:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

inga, i think it means just what it sounds like. an insult.

7:37 pm

stid, i think she was amused, but not geeked

7:37 pm

periwinkle

ollag, are you here?

7:37 pm

lbdawger

dictionary dot com doesn't have a definition for it Inge2

7:38 pm

stidmatt

It says in my textbook, I am very precocious about Science, that you need CTXo bacteriophage to get rid of Vibrio cholerae.

7:38 pm

lynxxx

ra6.30 just means some-one who is funny crazy - like a jokester. not really an insult almost a compliment

7:38 pm

stidmatt

Try Websters!

7:38 pm

stidmatt

Okay, back to the grid.

7:38 pm

jillibus

well, matt, I'm waaaaay out of date and out of touch!

7:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i had the first ra4/4 and looked at the grid, trying to find something that could alphabetically precede, and found the woid. I love it when that happens!

7:39 pm

jillibus

Yes, back to the grid -- I have 78 to go!

7:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cholera? now that sounds like a major project LOL

7:40 pm

Inge2

okay, I hope to use ra6/30 some time this week in casual conversation.

7:40 pm

stidmatt

Ah,, my book was written in 2005 by Dr.'s Elizabeth Kutter and Alexander Sulakvelidze.

7:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

inge, your icon is TOO CUTE! 8-)

7:41 pm

Well, getting rid of Bacterium isn't too hard with Bacteriophages, they are way better than Antibiotics.

7:41 pm

I'm Aust and I use ra6.30 as more of an affectionate term

7:43 pm

stidmatt

Yup, when I had Methicillan-Resistant Staphycoloccus Aureus (MRSA) I started to get really interested because K can get rid of it really easily.

7:43 pm

stidmama

I don't have any tats myself but my husband has two...retired Navy. His weren't a fashion statement.

chj

i'm sorry but i cant think of anything that i thought as cool 30 years ago that i think is cool today

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

My personal rule regarding tatt's, which is shared my a majority of my friends, is that I will not put the name of my significant other on my body --- just in case the unthinkable should happen

10:24 pm

Natasha

I read about that jili--that show would never happen in the states. I'll be interested to hear what you think.

10:24 pm

smooth_pappa

HA! no kidding woulf! what a bad idea that would be

10:24 pm

GreyWoulf

However the names of children or antecedents is good as they are a tribute to them, as are inscribing the names of deceased loved ones

10:25 pm

NonnieLight

Need to head to bed. Good night all and take care.

smooth_pappa

woulf, I've thought about a tattoo tribute to my dad, but I'm glad I haven't... pople die, but for me it's the aprts of my identity that supercede the life of one person that are most meaningful to me

10:26 pm

Reese\'s

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

I agree, smooth -- all my tatt's reflect my spirtuality in one form or another

10:27 pm

Reese\'s

10:27 pm

smooth_pappa

10:28 pm

Natasha

10:28 pm

Reese\'s

10:28 pm

smooth_pappa

10:28 pm

smooth_pappa

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

The other important rule regarding tattoo's is to make sure you know what you are getting if it is written in another language

10:28 pm

jillibus

but I guess people are more intereseted in tattoos than mosques in prairies

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Reese's -- that shows that your grandma is a very smart and loving woman

10:29 pm
