1:00 am

Douglas

Do people in Canada put "at all" on the ends of questions like people in Minnesota do at all?

1:00 am

the Duck

On the very rare occasion that I happen to be somewhere that a copy exists.

1:01 am

Just1Mar

1:01 am

flosey

Hi all, just in from bridge, I don't believe they do Douglas

1:01 am

dart001

1:01 am

the Duck

It certainly doesn't finish every question, but I've heard it used from time to time.

1:01 am

Just1Mar

hi flosey

1:01 am

MVA

hi flosey

1:01 am

the Duck

Assuming Canadians end every sentence with eh, is about as accurate as assuming Americans end every sentence with Y'all :P

1:02 am

Douglas

The reason I ask about Macleans is because there was an article in today's Macleans about Richard Warman

1:02 am

dart001

lol...or in newfoundland "right?"

1:02 am

the Duck

Which of course means in both cases, certain individuals would prove the fact ;)

1:02 am

the Duck

Heh... spent 3 years in Labrador myself.. mind you I was 8-10 at the time.

1:03 am

Just1Mar

No idea who that is? politician prob?

1:03 am

the Duck

I'm afraid I probably haven't picked up a copy of Macleans since the last time I was in a Medical Office waiting room :)

How quaint the ways of paradox
At common sense she gaily mocks
If reckoning in the usual way
Years twenty-one I be alive
Yet reckoning by my na5 day...
I am a little boy of five!

time to go, may be back later, have fun all!

jillibus

flosey -- great minds (our icons, lol)

1:47 am

flosey

I loved that little studebaker

1:48 am

jillibus

The Henry J was ahead of its time (cheap, too)

1:48 am

flosey

I bought this from an old boyfriend who was going home to Scotland

1:49 am

sprite

flosey, I love the text at the bottom of your profile!!! Copied it... will think of those lines often from now on.

1:49 am

flosey

tks sprite, good thoughts eh!

1:49 am

sprite

absolutely, flosey!

1:50 am

sprite

1:50 am

flosey

1:50 am

1:51 am

jillibus

1:51 am

flosey

didn't jilli

1:51 am

sprite

lol... her loss then, jilli! And yay for your hubby, who was smart enough to know you didn't need any changing.

1:52 am

Kazozz

night jilli , all :) poof

1:53 am

flosey

not sure about the scoring tonight jill, 2 mistakes

1:53 am

jillibus

my mother was ok -- his couldn't understand why a woman wanted to go to university, etc etc.

1:54 am

flosey

unfortunately, that was the attitude I was raised with - women didn'

1:54 am

sprite

and 'because she has a brain' was not a good enough answer?

1:54 am

flosey

why do I always click on enter when I aim at apostrophe

1:54 am

sprite

because they are too close to eachother, flosey. Happens to me often too.

1:54 am

jillibus

we noticed a couple of strange things with question marks.

1:54 am

flosey

women didn't need education - they got married and stayed home to raise family, etc

1:55 am

flosey

George caught some before the end of the game so was able to get them corrected

1:55 am

jillibus

that's it, flosey

1:56 am

flosey

my mother never worked

1:56 am

jillibus

there were some surprising outcomes at bridge, lol!

1:56 am

flosey

some pretty strange hands

1:57 am

sprite

she probably worked her ass off, but at home. And I respect her for that. But it is a shame you were not encouraged to get education until the limit you could internalise.

1:57 am

flosey

could be played both sides

1:57 am

jillibus

my father was mortified that my mother had to work when he was imprisoned -- but she didn't mind at all, and it was to help me go to university.

1:57 am

flosey

good for her Jilli

1:57 am

sprite

your parents sound like the kind of quiet heroes history is silent about, jilli.

1:58 am

jillibus

yes -- well put, sprite

1:59 am

sprite

*hugs jilli*

2:01 am

jillibus

but sprite, there are many -- the war made quiet heroes of hundreds -- thousands. Lots in the Netherlands, I know.

2:02 am

sprite

I know, jilli. My grandparents were among them. Those are the people who keep human civilisation intact through every crisis.

2:02 am

jillibus

I have one blank tile -- the middle A in the second row

2:03 am

joey

jilli, use a double consonent

2:03 am

jillibus

That generation was not self-absorbed like many nowadays

2:03 am

flosey

that might be the aa5 jilli, don't know because it could start from either

2:03 am

Just1Mar

fireworks!

2:04 am

flosey

or even the top a

2:04 am

jillibus

joey, I think that's a diff A -- the one I need is to the right of that, no double cons within reach

2:04 am

flosey

wtg Just

2:05 am

Just1Mar

thx flosey

2:05 am

sprite

too true, jilli. But I had a kid of 17 yo visit us this weekend, one we only knew through internet. And he was refreshingly 'normal'. Relaxed, but well mannered, and I was happy this generation has great people in it as well.

2:05 am

Just1Mar

2:05 am

sprite

3:33 am

lynxxx

You haven't played for a while have you Helen

3:33 am

3:33 am

sprite

found the 7, thanks melissa

3:34 am

lynxxx

Really! do you know my husband too? Ken

3:34 am

melissamay

Sure, sprite! It looks like that will be my only luck with this grid...sign.

3:34 am

melissamay

that is "sigh," rather

3:34 am

helenary

is the icon a ted may painting?

3:35 am

sprite

it is a tough one, but interesting.

3:35 am

helenary

ken???

3:35 am

melissamay

yes, like the "may you live in interesting times" sort of interesting.

3:36 am

sprite

lolol melissa... rather potent curse, that one ;)

3:36 am

melissamay

heh heh

3:36 am

lynxxx

It is Helen...it is one he did a few years ago, enetered originally in the Archibald and then in the the Moran comp. My husband is Ken

3:37 am

helenary

Oh well!!! Ted live sin North Melbourne.I have a few of his pics!!

3:38 am

helenary

Is Ken a friend of Teds? Sorry babblers for this one on one!!

3:39 am

sprite

so far I meant interesting in the sense that there aren't that many unwords, just my brain being unable to spot them because they are crooked.

3:39 am

lynxxx

Helen - yes. Ithey usually see each other at least once a week. He went up to Ballarat the other weekend for the opening of his recent exhibition

3:40 am

sprite

np helen, this is a very mild one on one ;)

3:40 am

melissamay

true, sprite. I just don't tend to do well with massive fields of vowels.

3:40 am

helenary

we might have met!!!

3:41 am

sprite

lol, me too, I had SO much trouble finding a simple ci4.

3:41 am

helenary

Ted's doing well I hear. I won't carry on like this anymore. Its silly of me.

3:41 am

melissamay

oh god, there's a ci4? I'm currently obsessing over that lonely d word. Ack.

3:42 am

pinkhatlil

very hard grid today

3:42 am

sprite

that d is a dh6

3:43 am

lynxxx

Helen - You probably have met Ken, not myself. Did you ever go to Mulcahys pub in Nth Melbourne. Ken used to co-own it and Ted and a whole group of people came from there. Ken continues to meet them regularly.

3:44 am

melissamay

Aw, the ci4 is our old Italian friend. It turns up constantly here! Thanks for the d clue, sprite.

3:44 am

sprite

yvw :)

3:45 am

lynxxx

and I never see it by myself TY Melissa

3:45 am

helenary

no, not really Lynxxx. I really was closer to him about 12 plus years ago and see him rarely now. Knew some painter friends of his but have lost touch with that scene.

3:45 am

sprite

me neither, lyn!

3:46 am

sprite

or, well, I DO spot it by myself, but only as one of the very last words.

3:46 am

melissamay

sure lynxx, no worries! I probably wouldn't have noticed it either if sprite hadn't mentioned it.

3:47 am

melissamay

Ah, and there's the dh6. Thanks, sprite!

3:48 am

sprite

my pleasure, was a tough one for me to find as well

3:49 am

sprite

oh! There is a ji that is like the ci4!

3:50 am

melissamay

Ooh, thanks sprite, that was my last j.

3:50 am

sprite

mine too. Last words are not coming easy here, lol.

3:50 am

lynxxx

Thanks Sprite!

3:50 am

3:52 am

3:53 am

melissamay

3:54 am

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, you are a great role model for your kids and their friends!

6:20 am

carleekat

Sarnia Muslim Association... a good friend is the head of their "share and care" team... and her husband is the head of the " association"...he is not the imam... anyway..she knows I know the food and spices etc... so she pulls my daughter and I in..we are the "token blondes"

6:20 am

6:23 am

MonkeyGames

Ooh, Carlee, we'll have to talk spices sometime. I have 103 here right now....

6:23 am

kje

thanks - didn't have that one

6:23 am

carleekat

well... to donate to charity is a pillar of faith in islam... and with all the bad media coverage in NA since 9-11 this particular group is really striving to educate westerners about islam and the people of islam...

6:23 am

featherbee

one boy's awake, i should go wake up the other, but i don't wanna, lol

Asafoetida is cool for curries. I made Nepali gurkhali chicken the other day, definitely benefits from iyt. Peppers, yes. My husband is a mutant and can eat stuff that would eat through metal. I'm trying to grow some very rare wild Nepali chilis right now.

scrabbler, a wonderful thing happened this weekend. we were organizing our filing cabinet, and I found a picture of my baby brother (six months old) during his only Christmas. He died two or three weeks later. I'd forgotten I had that picture.

6:27 am

carleekat

hubby does not like curries... but kids do... I am slowly introducing them to diff curries...

6:27 am

Becca Lorum

oops, carlee - perhaps it would be easier if i could type!

6:27 am

carleekat

spices are great fun...

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Becca Lorum--what a blessed being growing inside of you!! So sweet!

6:28 am

Scrabbler

feather--I will check your blog later--what's there, or should it surprise me?

6:28 am

kje

angel is determined to incentivize us to all become organized....

6:28 am

Becca Lorum

thanks scrabbler - it's much bigger than that now. 3 months to go nad I already look like a whale!

6:28 am

MonkeyGames

I cook a lot of Chinese, mostly Szechuan, Yunan, and Cantonese, but also lots of curries, especialy Kashmiri-type stuff. Do you have that great Omani/Iraqi spice blend with the dried rose petals? I have to make my own despite the profusion of halal groceries and shops here.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Angel,how wonderful tofind that photo. What happenedto your brother?

6:29 am

he was born with a collapsed lung and a congenital heart defect.

6:30 am

kje

i wsih babble would let us link directly!

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Aw, poor boy. What was his name?

6:30 am

carleekat

i am not partial to the rose blends myself...if it calls for it..i take the easy route and just add the tiniest ammount of rose extract... i tend to the egyptian and lebanese... I have a neighbour who is iraqi..i leave those specialties to her...

6:30 am

Angelsong

my mother found him in his crib when she was waking us up to go to the baby sitter's. She worked nights, and my dad put him to bed the night before and he died during the night.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Well, Carlee + MG, I am pretty good at microwaving,not so good at cooking.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Angel, was the heart problemalready known?

6:31 am

MMMMMM, Egyptian and Lebanese!

6:32 am

carleekat

scrabs... i watched a movie once..and read the book to...like water for chocolate...something like that..was an international fim..subtitled... made in mexico

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I have a filing system, but it needs to be expanded.

6:32 am

MonkeyGames

OK, got to go make my lunchnow, and take the dog out. Who knows how long I have ! Walter's been napping shorter these days but today he has a bad cold so who can say.

6:32 am

Angelsong

yes. the doctors told my parents he was not expected to live as long as he did. That death was very hard for me. I finished the grief work only in the 1990's; he died in 1963.

6:33 am

lynxxx

bye Monkey

6:33 am

kje

I just need a filing system.... : O

6:33 am

The death of a child is very hard to deal with.

Becca Lorum

bye monkey

6:33 am

kje

how old were you angel?

6:34 am

carleekat

and... although the story took the concept to the nth degree... my belief is..u have to give a damn about what it is u r cooking..and somehow...the energy...emotion..whatever it is..is somehow translated to the food...and affects the taste..i have a neighbour who follows my recipes exactly..but she just doesn't give a crap... and it is reflected in her food

6:34 am

kje

clue for ar word off right upper corner a?

6:34 am

Angelsong

I was 8 when he died. just shy of 9.

6:34 am

TY, lynxxx

6:36 am

Angelsong

I called a good friend of mine in early 1991 or so, and asked her to go with me to find his grave. That finished the pain. It was like God just dropped that baby back into my heart, minus the pain and sorrow.

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Every child's life has a purpose no matter how short it is.

6:37 am

Angelsong

my brother's death cropped up again when my grandfather died, because my grandfather was the one who tried most to help me with my brother's death. so they got connected in my mind.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Well, with a whopping 20 words I must hurry up and get ready for work. Bye all. ((Angel + brother))

6:38 am

kje

bye scrabb - save lots of lives!!!

Every experience of grief sparks prior ones.

Haz1558

fi5/16 - fi plus first three letters of Vaughn Williams ascending bird (or add a letter to the fi4/7)

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

aussie, fi 6 is the family adjective

11:41 am

11:41 am

Aussieme

fi + girl's name + l

11:42 am

fi6 - relating to family, think in terms of brotherly duty.

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

the i words are hiding

11:43 am

SharonRA

they seem to be related to bones

11:43 am

ajsb

11:45 am

ajsb

f 6 starts the same as previous fi + same ending as last fi 5

11:45 am

Haz1558

I'm no Star Wars expert! If she has, we'll change it for convenient cluing (basically take f from fi6 to get il5)

Haz1558

Yes, he was.

2:30 pm

FMitch

Oh good.

2:30 pm

Haz1558

His opinion of the grid was that whoever created it must have had a bad hair day.

2:30 pm

Haz1558

So that vindicates the rest of us. He usually claims it's a walk in the park!

2:30 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:31 pm

FMitch

We haven't had such a tight small grid for ages. I've completed thw whole of the right hand side but still gappy on the left, very strange.

2:54 pm

stidmama

2:54 pm

I was working with John Burton - one of the fathers of geriatric medicine - and we had a lady in the nursing home who was doing poorly and we desired the family to move to comfort measures only - had several family meetings but the kids would never say do more or do less. I was getting frustrated, having grown up in the era of CYA medicine, and just wanted them to make some decision! Dr. Burton calmly said - but they have made a decision - they're telling you that they can't make this decision... so we will do what we know to be right. He was right of course.

8:21 pm

lbdawger

8:22 pm

featherbee

I finished earlier, Lindrick, so can clue if you wait until I've paid a quick visit 'upstairs'.

8:22 pm

8:23 pm

Lindrickway

lbdawger

8:26 pm

Lindrickway

8:26 pm

Jacula

Lindrick - cr5 has a double vowel in the middle and sounds a little like a horse enclosure. Gunfight At The Okay Co****.

8:26 pm

featherbee

ha, scrabs said she did the same thing!

8:26 pm

Lindrickway

thanks jac

8:26 pm

featherbee

i'm infiltrating people's speech all around the globe, bwahahaha

8:27 pm

chunkyuk32

hi all xx

8:27 pm

hurshy

hey what's proper scrabulous etiquette... if you start a game with someone and they don't start one back, and you wait awhile and then you start another one, etc, how long before you figure they just don't wanna play with you anymore and you stop bugging them?

8:28 pm

lbdawger

lind, like the italian bye, but with a j

8:28 pm

Jacula

Well done, Cordelia.

8:28 pm

lbdawger

hi chunky

8:29 pm

featherbee

not sure hursh! i tend to forget a lot to start new games, as they disappear without my noticing.

8:29 pm

stidmama

we just ask each other if we want to play and who wants to start, hurshy (and I volunteer to be trounced bby you any time)

8:29 pm

stidmama

hey chunky

8:29 pm

Cordelia

thanks lbd, lind and jac...this one was a toughie

8:29 pm

Jacula

Hi hursh. Well you can prod them a couple of times but, after so long, not sure how long, the games goes 'inactive'.

8:29 pm

stidmama

YAY cordelia!!!!

8:29 pm

hurshy

and cooking question: if you were going to make a bean salad, but you overcooked the beans, should you just make the salad, or try to turn it into a hummus-like substance, or what?

8:30 pm

Jacula

I'd go for the second option, hursh.

8:30 pm

Cordelia

stid...thanks for your offers of help even while you were involved with other things

8:30 pm

lbdawger

depends on how over cooked the beans are hursh

8:31 pm

stidmama

(that was my comment, lbd) if they're only a little overcooked, I would make the salad anyway. Otherwise, I think a hummus sounds nice

8:31 pm

Cordelia

hursh...i'm notorious for overcooking...i made a bean dip

8:31 pm

lbdawger

stid, we think an AWFUL lot alike! lol

8:31 pm

stidmama

feather it's your turn again... I did my best, which I am sure could have been better. But I am an impatient sort.

8:31 pm

Jacula

stid - your blogging prowess is amazing! I still haven't got through them all!

8:31 pm

hurshy

well let's see, i soaked 'em for a good 30 hours, and then i cooked 'em for an hour and a half.

8:32 pm

stidmama

:-) *adjusting tinfoil hat* we do, don't we, LBD?

8:32 pm

mooo

Are all of these words from the english dictionary?

8:32 pm

lbdawger

if you can still stick a fork in then and they don't disintergrate i'd make the salad.

8:32 pm

hurshy

stid, are you in the babble group so i can find you?

8:32 pm

stidmama

better than me, hurshy! the beans I am working on just WON'T get soft today. But they're very old dried beans and not happy about it at all

8:32 pm

stidmama

I am "stidmama babble" hurshy...

8:32 pm

hurshy

aha.

8:33 pm

stidmama

and I think we're already friends

8:33 pm

hurshy

lookit that, so we are, lol

8:33 pm

featherbee

your turn stid, snerk snerk snerk

8:33 pm

stidmama

thanks feather!

8:34 pm

lbdawger

how's it going, Lind?

8:34 pm

Lindrickway

dawg i have tried but can't make out your clue, can i have another for the first ji please?

8:34 pm

Jacula

I can't be bothered with all the palaver with dried beans, especially as you can poison your family if you get all the soaking, draining and cooking wrong. I prefer to use fresh.

8:34 pm

stidmama

so hurshy -- I am happy with any setup you like, I am equally abysmal no matter which dictionary

8:34 pm

Lindrickway

hi hurshy sorry i missed your entrance!

8:34 pm

stidmama

Lindy: like italian "bye bye" word

8:34 pm

featherbee

you are not stid! you did great last game!

8:34 pm

mooo

K since when is that a word?

8:34 pm

lbdawger

ji+ two vowels, Lind

8:35 pm

Dorens

hi all.... dried beans can't sit in the pantry indefinitely, at least not without losing freshness

8:35 pm

Lindrickway

bye in italian is such a long word i can't see how i can shorten it to be a 4 letter word!!

8:35 pm

Jacula

Hi, Dorens.

8:35 pm

stidmama

rofl... that "jor" comes in handy, feather!

8:35 pm

Lindrickway

hi dorens

8:35 pm

lbdawger

hi dorens

8:35 pm

stidmama

hey dorens!

8:35 pm

Lindrickway

oh thanks i have it!! LOL

8:35 pm

Lindrickway

please pass me the fish!! LOL

8:36 pm

stidmama

yes dorens, that is true -- but when one has SO MANY dried beans that were stuck in the corner and forgotten... LOL so maybe we're just too frugal.

8:36 pm

lbdawger

>*))<<

8:36 pm

stidmama

8:37 pm

Jacula

I saw you say earlier, jilli, that you'd post your Dad's story if you didn't 'run out of time'. Please write it all down for us before that happens. There are many different and interweaved tales that should be told, I think.

9:37 pm

LadyNatts

9:37 pm

Jacula

You sure do, jilli.

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

JBV

9:38 pm

kje

agree Pam - and he can go on and on and on - I had to search for a short one!

9:38 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, when we do these blogs, do we only have a certain amount of space to do them in?

9:38 pm

LadyNatts

9:38 pm

pam

LOLOLOL, kje

9:38 pm

JBV

9:39 pm

JBV

9:40 pm

Lindrickway

9:40 pm

JBV

9:40 pm

LadyNatts

I need to take a 10-minute break... start putting away all my "home from work" discards from my bed, and gathering up trash for tomorrow's pickup.

9:43 pm

JBV

good night and good-bye to those leaving - is anyone out there who can clue the l in the middle? This is what I have : I have la 4/5, 5/12, 4/5, li 4/4, lu 4/5 and lu 5/12 - I need one more L word

9:44 pm

pam

sorry, jbv...

9:45 pm

Mom

JBV, li + double consonant

9:45 pm

Mom

and good evening everyone

9:45 pm

JBV

chunky, it's hard to clue - il 5/10 - i + someone who doesn't tell the truth, except change the last letter

9:46 pm

JBV

oh, thanks, mom - I was trying a different double consonant (4-point)

9:46 pm

MaMaWA

JBV. did you get the li double cons

9:46 pm

Mom

I was having a horrible time with it, and just got it. You're so welcome

9:47 pm

Mom

JBV, thanks for the il 5 word

9:47 pm

JBV

I only have 6 to go now - can I get a clue for the c's on the top row - I have 5 with cu

9:47 pm

JBV

yes, MaMa, thanks

9:47 pm

chunkyuk32

thanks jbv

9:47 pm

superflippy

Yes, jbv, you're missing the other li4/4.

9:47 pm

Mom

look, JBV, now MaMa comes to rescue us, after we have pulled out our hair over it. :)

9:47 pm

JBV

thanks, superflippy, I have all the L's now

9:47 pm

MaMaWA

wow the log is a little slow

9:47 pm

MaMaWA

sorry

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

Mom

9:48 pm

carra

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

MaMaWA

I only have 3 cu words

9:48 pm

Mom

you're welcome

9:48 pm

carra

yeh i see that ;/

9:49 pm

chunkyuk32

8 left

9:49 pm

Mom

hmm, need one more c word, if I have all 7 cu words, it is either a cl or cr. How is that for smarts?

9:49 pm

JBV

that li + double consonant just proves my unscientific theory that I am totally blind to leftward arrangements, I think it has to do with being right-handed or is it just that we read from left to right?

9:50 pm

MaMaWA

I have 1 cr+double vowel and consonant

9:50 pm

MaMaWA

not a good clue , I know

9:50 pm

JBV

thanks, MaMa, that was fine, gave me one more word, now I only need 5

9:50 pm

Mom

Charles Manson has a cu 4/6

9:50 pm

Jacula

Gunfight at the Okay Co*****. Sounds like the horse enclosure.

9:50 pm

Mom

what you do to your hair with rollers

9:50 pm

superflippy

Can anyone give me a clue for the first cu6?

9:51 pm

MaMaWA

It sounds like what babies do before they walk

9:51 pm

pam

I don't know, jbv, maybe... I know that Hebrew taught me to look at right to left, and Latin, well that taught me that direction is relative, LOL

9:51 pm

Mom

I have that one Mamam

9:52 pm

JBV

hmm, interesting pam, since you can read in both directions!

9:52 pm

JBV

Mom - what cheerleaders say? didn't get that one

9:52 pm

Mom

letter before s and first vowel

9:52 pm

pam

it makes things more "fun" jbv--I tend to look at sentences wholly....

9:52 pm

Mom

with the cu before it

9:53 pm

MaMaWA

JBv and Pam i ? the right left thing when I notice that some of us put our emoticons oppositer of others

9:53 pm

Jacula

I was reading in the paper earlier that many kids want to take up Latin study now due to reading Harry Potter books.

9:53 pm

JBV

i've tried that and it says "not found in the dictionary" cu + consonant + vowel? not working

9:53 pm

chunkyuk32

al 6/18 plz

9:53 pm

pam

that is kind of cool, jac!!

9:53 pm

MaMaWA

If you are right do you put the eyes left an vi a via

9:54 pm

pam

kind of like the exclamations in spanish, mamam

9:54 pm

superflippy

chunky, it's man's name + not out

9:54 pm

Jacula

Male name - footballer Mr. Shearer here in UK, + 'not out'.

9:54 pm

MaMaWA

true pam

9:54 pm

Mom

cu + letter before s and first vowel twice

9:54 pm

Mom

terrible at cluing, I am

9:54 pm

JBV

oh, twice! why didn't you say so? LOL

9:55 pm

JBV

nope, that's not working either

9:55 pm

superflippy

Mom, it's not taking that. And it's only 5 letters, I need 6.

9:55 pm

Mom

because I suck at this :)

9:55 pm

Jacula

amo, amas, amat, amamas, amatis, amant.

9:55 pm

MaMaWA

Took me all day to get that cheer clue also JBV lol

9:55 pm

chunkyuk32

al 5/12 before it plz?

9:55 pm

Jacula

The only chant I remember from doing Latin. However, it's been a very useful language to have learned.

9:56 pm

JBV

well I don't have all day - I would like to go to sleep soon!

9:56 pm

Mom

10:41 pm

tygerbryght

the only R. Browning poem I've ever been fond of was "Grow Old Along With Me" (THINK that was the title)

10:42 pm

kje

the name was rabi someone.... let me think

10:42 pm

tygerbryght

Asimov introduced me to it - it was the fave poem of the protagonist of one of his novels

10:42 pm

kje

Rabi Ben Ezra - it is a line form that one tyger - what a great line

10:43 pm

kje

from*

10:43 pm

tygerbryght

kje - that's 2 Bs - Rabbi Ben Ezra

10:43 pm

kje

and it's like 10 pages long or something....

10:43 pm

kje

thanks

10:44 pm

tygerbryght

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
The last of life
For which the first was made

Our times are in His hand
Who saith, "a whole I planned
"Trust God, see all
"Nor be afraid."

10:44 pm

kje

I thought of posting it anyway - it is a good poem for a geriatrician : )

10:45 pm

tygerbryght

I think I could do the next 2 stanzas as well :)

10:45 pm

tygerbryght

I was 13, and had just lost my mom

10:45 pm

kje

Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earthâ€™s smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go!
Be our joys three-parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!

10:46 pm

kje

ah tyger - wow at 13

10:46 pm

tygerbryght

somehow, I think God was trying to tell me something. you can imagine the depression & anxiety of a teen in those circs

10:46 pm

kje

it's a good poem for that too

10:46 pm

tygerbryght

Pebble in the Sky - that's the title of the novel

10:46 pm

tygerbryght

finally came to me

10:47 pm

kje

10:47 pm

autumn moon

I am missing 7:
al5/10; cr5/12; cu6/24; dh6/27; fi6/27/in6/21; na5/10. Clues please? Not bad for not going to list until the last 10, I think.

10:47 pm

tygerbryght

written in the 1950s

10:47 pm

kje

al 5/10 - where one kneels to pray

10:47 pm

tygerbryght

cu6: - think of the S. American poison that sounds like it ought to be something a doctor would prescribe

10:48 pm

kje

cr 5/12 - cr + double vowel + stick

10:48 pm

tygerbryght

forgot to say, change last vowel

10:48 pm

kje

cu 6/24 - cu + cheer **h **h shishkimbah!

10:48 pm

tygerbryght

on that cu6, that is

10:49 pm

kje

dh - dh + vase for ashes + vowel

10:49 pm

tygerbryght

in6: in + not sea, but dry

10:49 pm

kje

fi 6/24 - realting to brotherly or sisterly love

10:50 pm

tygerbryght

for fi6 = think of the city in Pennsylvania :D

10:50 pm

kje

it is amzing how many people have asked for the clue to that in - considering that it is one of the "real" words in the puzzle - LOL

10:50 pm

tygerbryght

it was still one of the last ones I found, tho :P

10:50 pm

kje

my last one was the ta - body powder - duh!

10:50 pm

tygerbryght

think about how it winds around thru the grid, kje

10:51 pm

tygerbryght

the ones that twist around are often hard to see

10:51 pm

tygerbryght

:D that one was the first ta word I found

10:51 pm

kje

na 5/10 - pertains to birth

10:52 pm

kje

different minds tyger : )

10:52 pm

tygerbryght

yeah, na5 - preggers women go for pre-na5 checkups

10:52 pm

tygerbryght

yup.

10:53 pm

tygerbryght

we complement each other (in addition to the occasional compliment)

10:53 pm

kje

I am disappointed in this brownie - I've been waiting all day to have it and now - eh

10:53 pm

iCeCuBEz

10:55 pm

tygerbryght

hey, ice

10:55 pm

iCeCuBEz

hi

10:55 pm

iCeCuBEz

10:55 pm

kje

bad bad clue - forget that one - doesn't work aaaghh

10:55 pm

kje

t's try again

10:56 pm

tygerbryght

fi 6instead of pour out, fi*l + personal pronoun + Mr. Gore's 1st name

10:56 pm

iCeCuBEz

wat

10:56 pm

tygerbryght

ice, I suggest you read the help page first of all :) this is a fairly complicated & sometimes fiendishly difficult game - but very addictive

10:57 pm

iCeCuBEz

oh ok

10:57 pm

kje

clear as mud autumn?

10:57 pm

autumn moon

Thanks all! (I am sure I tried that fi word several times). Off to bed with me - even on time, for a change. Say hi to Jilli and Stid for me!

10:58 pm

kje

think of shakespear times - fi 6 duties or fi6 love - having to do with siblings

10:58 pm

tygerbryght

I won't stay that long

10:58 pm

tygerbryght

nite, moon

10:58 pm

kje

10:58 pm

kje

bye autumn - alas they are gone also - all off to bed

10:59 pm

kje

10:59 pm

autumn moon

They usually come on after, kje. Jilli is usually the one that says ni-night to me.

10:59 pm

tygerbryght

I thought I'd try to hang till ice finishes the help page :)

10:59 pm

kje

oh - well both were here earlier

10:59 pm

tygerbryght

try to give a few more pointers before leaving

10:59 pm

kje

OK - may be back

11:00 pm

tygerbryght

K

11:00 pm

autumn moon

ni-night.

11:00 pm

tygerbryght

nite

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

ice - the grid changes daily, at midnight U.S. Central Time

11:03 pm

iCeCuBEz

oh ok

11:03 pm

iCeCuBEz

and the boxes on the bottom are all the possible words there could be, C being the starting letter? etc. etc.

11:03 pm

tygerbryght

the clues we use are the first 2 letters of a "word" in the grid (taken from a Scrabble word list), followed by the number of letters in the word, and how many points it's worth

11:03 pm

iCeCuBEz

ok

11:04 pm

tygerbryght

the ones that start out (right now) c 0/9 ?

11:04 pm

iCeCuBEz

yea

11:04 pm

tygerbryght

yes, that's what they are. non-Pro members get those helps for the first 2 weeks after joining. Then they go away, unless you go Pro.

11:05 pm

iCeCuBEz

oh ok

11:05 pm

tygerbryght

Pro is a one-time, lifetime fee of $14.95 (a bargain right now in other currencies)

11:05 pm

iCeCuBEz

yea I saw.

11:05 pm

tygerbryght

there are other clues available. links are at the bottom in the Friends of Babble box

11:05 pm

iCeCuBEz

Well thanks for all the help.

11:06 pm

tygerbryght

Lickety's Babble Clues is the most helpful

11:06 pm

tygerbryght

you're very welcome

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

this is a very short grid - ones between 100 & 250 words are much more common

11:07 pm

iCeCuBEz

mmm okay

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

and I'm going now; good night :)

11:07 pm

iCeCuBEz

good night

11:08 pm

iCeCuBEz

KIMMYDEE

11:10 pm

KIMMYDEE

Where are you from Ice?

11:10 pm

iCeCuBEz

11:13 pm

iCeCuBEz

Yea, I haven't been there in years, the beach is fantastic though.

11:13 pm

KIMMYDEE

I'm sure that it is

11:13 pm

KIMMYDEE

I can't wait to get back on some sand again

11:13 pm

KIMMYDEE

So how'd boggle treat ya today?

11:13 pm

KIMMYDEE

Good, I hope

11:14 pm

iCeCuBEz

Well I just got on like a couple minutes ago.

11:14 pm

iCeCuBEz

I haven't played a game like this in a long time, I must say I'm pretty rusty.

11:14 pm

KIMMYDEE

oh, ok

11:14 pm

KIMMYDEE

ish- i'm rusty and i play nearly every day

11:15 pm

KIMMYDEE

i'm a self proclaimed dork

11:15 pm

iCeCuBEz

haha :), ok I'm not rusty, more like, pretty terrible haha.

11:16 pm

KIMMYDEE

ok, well, I am too :o) - but that doesn't stop me

11:16 pm

iCeCuBEz

Pfft whatever it's all good fun.

11:16 pm

KIMMYDEE

if you use Lickety's list on the bottom you will have no problem finishing it

11:17 pm

iCeCuBEz

Oh ok, I guess I'll check that out.

11:17 pm

KIMMYDEE

It is fun...until it gets under your skin and you just can't finish the puzzle

11:17 pm

kje

just checking to see if my icon worked...

11:17 pm

iCeCuBEz

:(

11:18 pm

KIMMYDEE

11:18 pm

KIMMYDEE

11:20 pm

stidmama

I am gone, kje ... WAY GONE! rofl *pulls on shades and lolls in the imaginary sunshine*

11:20 pm

kje

ice - a new puzzle comes in 40 minutes - may be easier to start on than this heinous one - lots of weird words in this one

11:20 pm

stidmama

al 4/7 al + as ** you knew the answer... name for the Hebrew "a"

11:20 pm

kje

how much have you had tonight stid?

11:20 pm

iCeCuBEz

Oh ok.

11:20 pm

stidmama

oh -- a new person? welcome!

11:21 pm

iCeCuBEz

hi :D

11:21 pm

stidmama

al 5/16 is, of course, the plural...

11:21 pm

kje

ice is new - I'm afraid this particular grid may scare her off - LOL

11:21 pm

iCeCuBEz

her off

11:21 pm

stidmama

I don't think I've had enough yet kje... the chocolate is in the drawer in the dining room and I have been working on the computer for three hours

11:21 pm

iCeCuBEz

wat

11:21 pm

KIMMYDEE

i need a ride stid

11:22 pm

kje

fun stuff stid?

11:22 pm

stidmama

where are you heading, Kimmy?

11:22 pm

kje

sorry ... him?

11:22 pm

kje

oops!

11:22 pm

KIMMYDEE

ha - that was my sorry excuse for a clue

11:22 pm

kje

you should go pro!!! youget a oink or blue head!

11:22 pm

stidmama

well, working on a "reader appreciation" post for the blog for tomorrow. I am afraid it is not my best work, but that's okay. It's something. :-D

11:22 pm

KIMMYDEE

the al 4/7 clue that is

11:23 pm

stidmama

oh! rofl! YES! you need a lif', eh?

11:23 pm

jillibus

hello all again

11:23 pm

iCeCuBEz

sorry for the interruption but what does something like 4/7, 5/16 refer to?

11:23 pm

KIMMYDEE

something IS usually better than nothing

11:23 pm

kje

beats me - I was filing taxes until just over an hour ago -

11:23 pm

Jindigo

thank you stid!

11:23 pm

stidmama

Ice, the first number is how long the word is, the second number is how many points it's worth

11:24 pm

KIMMYDEE

filing taxes this late? so bad!

11:24 pm

iCeCuBEz

Oh i get it.

11:24 pm

kje

ice - sir - al 4/7 would mean a word staring with al, 4 letters long, and worth 7 points

11:24 pm

iCeCuBEz

haha what you guys are saying makes so much more sense now.

11:24 pm

kje

hey - I had 2 hours to spare!!!

11:24 pm

jillibus

ice -- have a look at "Help" and then scroll down to Angelsong's link, and Lickety's Babble Clues.

11:24 pm

KIMMYDEE

Ice, if you check out Lickety's clues below, you will understand

11:24 pm

stidmama

a 5-letter word is worth double points, so if the tile values five, the word would be worth 10 points and clued like the aa 5/10

11:24 pm

Jindigo

ok 2 more ar 5/10 and in 6/21. Anyone? Please!

11:25 pm

kje

it's a secret code ice - now that you know....

11:25 pm

iCeCuBEz

it is all clear now :)

11:25 pm

KIMMYDEE

it shows the first two letters of a word, the word count and the word points

11:25 pm

stidmama

hey jilleroo! I wrote a long letter to hetty today after I saw her in the chat. I am so glad I will get to see all of you in a couple months!

11:25 pm

jillibus

Actually, it's best if you open another window and shrink it sideways for Lickety's clues.

11:25 pm

stidmama

yes, Ice, now that you know the code language, we will have to silence you *offers chocolate as a bribe*

11:25 pm

kje

yes jilli - agree - when I use it, I go back and forth

11:25 pm

jillibus

Oh stid -- I missed seeing Hetty!

11:26 pm

iCeCuBEz

haha

11:26 pm

stidmama

ar 5/10 is anagram the al 5/10:

11:26 pm

KIMMYDEE

:oP

11:26 pm

kje

ice - this is a weird group this late at night - we aren't always so silly : )

11:26 pm

stidmama

in 6/21 is fishy -- are you SURE you want a clue?

11:26 pm

kje

OK - that may be a lie - but not ALWAYS so sily

11:26 pm

jillibus

Well, kje, I use BabbleExpert so it's all on one page

11:26 pm

Jindigo

got that AR

11:26 pm

KIMMYDEE

I agree kje - when are you on exactly?

11:27 pm

kje

I have a mac jilli -

11:27 pm

stidmama

kje! you're a big fibber!!! *wink* Ice, we are some of us always a little silly, as we have people literally from around the world here.

11:27 pm

Jindigo

was that a clue Stid?

11:27 pm

iCeCuBEz

that's sweet though.

11:27 pm

stidmama

so some of us invariably have either just woken up or are struggling to keep our eyes open so we can finish.

11:27 pm

jillibus

o=aaah, you poor thing, kje -- I forgot *shedding tear*

11:27 pm

snags

jilli, how do you shrink something sideways?

11:27 pm

stidmama

no, just letting you know if I clue the in 6 you'll feel silly

11:28 pm

Jindigo

im struggling to keep mine open

11:28 pm

kje

or are drinking....

11:28 pm

Jindigo

really

11:28 pm

Jindigo

ill try to monkey it for a minute

11:28 pm

stidmama

11:28 pm

kje

11:28 pm

stidmama

oops. sorry, jumped the gun on the clue

11:28 pm

11:29 pm

kje

ooooo - the mac air!!!!

11:29 pm

kje

so sexy!

11:29 pm

jillibus

snags, 1) you click on the square above to shrink it a bit. 2) you put your mouse on the border until it turns into a double arrow. 3) Hold the mouse down and pull it sideways until it's as narrow as youwant.

11:30 pm

iCeCuBEz

is that the one that fits in an envelope, it's so thin.

11:30 pm

stidmama

go Ice go!!!

11:30 pm

kje

when are you usually on kimmy?

11:30 pm

KIMMYDEE

I'm just asking bc ppl in the evening hours tend to be vicious

11:30 pm

stidmama

wow, I shall only dream of that one, kje! LOL no, it'll have to be a not-so-cool mac

11:31 pm

Jindigo

I did something like that years ago... a friend came in from a long summer vacation when we were in college, and his roommate was going to pick him up at the airport. I went along, dressed in a short miniskirt (usually wore long skirts) and high heels .... and he walked right past me in the airport!
