5:23 am

LoriP

Yea for FM!

5:25 am

LoriP

Gah! Missing e was the feudal dude. To the coffee pot!

5:26 am

FMitch

I am finding that this grid works best if you don't pay full attention to it, so many typos are taking!

5:26 am

LoriP

lol, the old typo strategy. I like it.

5:27 am

FMitch

how else would I have found the di8?

5:27 am

LoriP

Because you're more smarter-est than us. :)

5:28 am

FMitch

5:28 am

LoriP

Oooh, last o was a 6/7. Gah

LoriP

Oh, 2 before the auction? Ahee. My missing r's

5:38 am

FMitch

Lori it seems to be tripping us all up today
yw foward

6:06 am

Eva

Now it's sunny and raining.

6:07 am

LoriP

Ehva, we had 4 days in a row of sun. It was an anomaly. we're back to rain,. fog and blah

6:07 am

Eva

when the sun came out everyone sort of staggered around squinting-totally disoriented.

6:07 am

caitlyn

We had our summer last week, just heard farming forecast and its wet all week again

6:07 am

LoriP

Ironically, given my statement this grid is poopy, my missing f was ironic....

6:08 am

Eva

6:08 am

caitlyn

Thats a strange thing to find Eva

6:09 am

Eva

6:11 am

caitlyn

Its very strange here today, only cooking for me and hubby,normally I am feeding the masses on a Sunday

LoriP

9:14 am

hurshy

but you have an indecent one? :)

9:15 am

Uniquity

Are the ce words hard? They are bothering me.

9:15 am

hurshy

bothering me too - i have seven of them and i feel that 7 ce's in a grid should be enough for anybody.

9:16 am

FMitch

di + vowel + cons + pl intermingled with vowels

9:16 am

FMitch

see I told you it was a crappy clue :)

9:17 am

hurshy

oh my gosh, i going to try that but then i thought, no, i think the third letter is a U - that's the pl of some kind of medical procedure, i believe

9:17 am

periwinkle

hello all, did not finish babble yesterday and my ranking went down 3 pts. I know it is only a game but I am not happy.

9:17 am

Soodle

the DI 8/45. First 3 letters - to expire. final 5 letters - fragrant english flower, but change the first vowel. Maybe thats awfully complicated

9:17 am

Uniquity

Ha! finished the ce words!

9:17 am

hurshy

how many did there end up being, uni?

9:18 am

FMitch

that is a much better clue Soodle.
Hi peri!

9:18 am

Soodle

It sure is a weird word.

9:18 am

hurshy

medical stuff is never spelt the way i expect it to be from hearing it

9:19 am

Uniquity

11, Hursh. A few normal, a few that are related, and a few total oddballs, in my opinion.

9:19 am

hurshy

sigh... all 4 remaining c's ce's is a very disheartening fact

9:20 am

FMitch

the b crops up in a few interesting places I must say.

9:20 am

Uniquity

Holy crow. I have to leave for work in ten minutes and I have a lot to do still. Take care, all!

9:20 am

hurshy

time flies when you're finding words

9:21 am

FMitch

Bye hun!!!!

9:22 am

Atalante

9:22 am

Atalante

*flop*

9:22 am

Atalante

oo!

9:23 am

hurshy

well hello, ata, you look very floppy today

9:23 am

Haz1558

Flopping isn't very good for your posture.

9:23 am

FMitch

Hi Ata!!!!!! and Haz too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:23 am

Atalante

9:23 am

Bonjour Haz :)

9:24 am

Atalante

9:24 am

Haz1558

Bonjour! Are we all well?

9:24 am

periwinkle

did not get the earlier clues for the 8's

9:25 am

hurshy

who is la spaghettina and why?

9:25 am

FMitch

Haz, I was Hobbited yesterday totally and utterly :)

9:25 am

Haz1558

It's a pet name for Spangle, - just because.

9:25 am

car.eeyore

morning!

9:25 am

Haz1558

Did she bounce and lick and wiggle?

9:25 am

hurshy

ah :)

9:25 am

FMitch

How was the hol?

9:26 am

Atalante

utterly!

9:26 am

Haz1558

It was very enjoyable - short but relaxing. Nice hotel, good food, and the natives were reasonably friendly.

9:26 am

FMitch

she was wiggly and licky and cudly and perfectly behaved :) Ata was good too *grin*

9:27 am

Haz1558

You can depend on Hobbit to charm.

9:27 am

FMitch

I am smiten

9:27 am

Atalante

she took over the flat

9:28 am

FMitch

:)

9:28 am

Haz1558

di8 - plural of the word to describe when two vowels are pronounced separately (naive, noel). An anagram of what you do on a horse, plus a double quota of the letter s.

9:29 am

periwinkle

thanks for the clue, Haz, trying to figure it out

9:29 am

hurshy

i have a Thought. there are Brits and Canadians who want to move to the US for some reason, right? why isn't there some kind of... exchange program, where they can say, take two people with similar jobs who want to switch countries, and say, ok, fair exchange and no robbery, and not bother with all the hassly red tape

9:29 am

Haz1558

Or, pass away (3), a consonant and what sounds like two s.

9:30 am

periwinkle

I got the di8, thanks so much Haz

9:30 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri.

9:30 am

periwinkle

help with the ne8 pls

9:30 am

Atalante

have you managed to turn your trousers back to blue yet, FM?

9:31 am

Haz1558

ne8 is a kind of plural for ne6/21. n plus an anagram of the downy duck (ne6)

9:31 am

FMitch

yes, Ata. Just ran the hoover over everything and all was restored to its usual non Hobbit colour :)

9:31 am

Haz1558

Will turning the trousers blue involve sewing?

9:32 am

Atalante

no, just defluffing

9:32 am

FMitch

lol Haz, but you can re the first 3 letters tho.

9:32 am

Haz1558

Well, that's a relief.

9:32 am

periwinkle

thanks, Haz, working on it

9:32 am

Atalante

9:32 am

9:33 am

good morning, everyone :)

9:34 am

FMitch

Morning cnan

9:35 am

hurshy

i saw you had it before i finished my clue, but i couldn't resist posting anyway

9:41 am

hurshy

*whistles and tries to pretend her post isn't the last one, just hanging out there looking like it killed the chat*

9:41 am

phaeton

morning

9:41 am

hurshy

yay for phaeton!

9:42 am

Haz1558

I'm still debating in my mind about your question over fair exchange of malcontent Brits and Canadians.

9:42 am

phaeton

yay what?

9:42 am

hurshy

yay for you breaking the silence

9:42 am

phaeton

we may have malcontents, but i don't kn ow if they want to go to canada or england

9:42 am

hurshy

oh, yes haz? let me know how the debate turns out

9:43 am

phaeton

oh, your welcome :)

9:43 am

hurshy

I DO!!!!

9:43 am

hurshy

(want to go to canada or england)

9:43 am

phaeton

I didn't want to leave you hanging in thin air

9:43 am

hurshy

i 'preciate it

9:43 am

phaeton

are you malcontent?

9:44 am

Haz1558

It's possible to leave and go to another country, I'm just not sure of the mechanism of exchange.

9:44 am

FMitch

I would swap with someone.!

9:45 am

Atalante

don't we just send them to australia?

9:45 am

FMitch

My Mum wouldn't be too pleased tho

9:45 am

rururocks

I want to trade bodies with Brad Pitt..

9:45 am

phaeton

i might be willing to do that for a visit, but not permanently

9:45 am

Haz1558

Time was when I might have thought about swapping, but I don't think I would want to now.

9:45 am

FMitch

oh ruru - we love you as you are!

9:45 am

hurshy

it's possible but my impression is that you have to jump through a lot of hoops. i mean, if i want to switch to canada, i can't just pop up there and say, ok, i live here now.

9:46 am

Haz1558

But ruru, are you ready for all that childcare?

9:46 am

Soodle

If you do that Ru, can I be your Angelina?

9:46 am

rururocks

(you'd have to get your lips done soodle)

9:46 am

Haz1558

No, because Canada might be a bit suspicious. Not that you arouse suspicion, just that they like to be on their guard.

9:47 am

Soodle

Dammit. Forgot about the lips - back to the Plastic surgeon with Soodle

9:47 am

phaeton

are you swapping bodies with angelina soodle, or are you already built like her?

9:48 am

hurshy

but it's very simple. they have a national health care system, as you do, and what with global warming and all, i need to be somewhere that will stay nice and cold. plus canada stays out of messy world affairs which must be relaxing.

9:48 am

Soodle

Actually - no. But I wouldn't mind a Brad Pitt lookalike...... (becomes misty-eyed and dreamy/floaty)

9:48 am

hurshy

what's to be suspicious of when i have three good reasons?

9:49 am

Haz1558

They may not be your real reasons.

9:49 am

Atalante

I hope Oregon will let me in one day

9:49 am

phaeton

but...hurshy, there are places in the US that have all that, ya just gotta find em

9:49 am

rururocks

What part Ata?

9:50 am

Atalante

Astoria

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

lol ata - you know they have a saying, come visit then leave. really.

9:50 am

rururocks

oh...pretty

9:50 am

hurshy

there are not places in the US that have national health care and are not part of the US and therefore stay out of messy world affairs!

9:50 am

phaeton

ATa, are persona non gratis?

9:50 am

rururocks

I lived in Sisters ORegon for a long time.

9:51 am

phaeton

there is a county in Maryland that offers health care for a minimal amount

9:51 am

rururocks

Try ALaska Hursh

9:51 am

rururocks

then you could wander south and get lost and end up lost in Canada

9:51 am

hurshy

but maryland is south-er than i am now, i refuse to head south. and land that produced sarah palin?? before i knew about her, sure, maybe, but now...

9:52 am

rururocks

she'll be selling pantyhose soon hursh.. not to worry

9:52 am

Atalante

don't think so, but it's hard to get into america!

9:52 am

Haz1558

Surely if you hold on long enough Obama is going to change the health system?

9:53 am

phaeton

but she is leaving alaska hursh

9:53 am

hurshy

it just appalls me that reputable news organizations continue to discuss whether she will run for president when they should all be writing, sarah, do not run, you are an unqualified disaster, we don't like you, go away please

9:53 am

rururocks

I have heard that Canadians are not happy with their health plan

9:54 am

phaeton

unfortunately ata, it needs to be hard, we have too many here now that shouldn't be here

9:54 am

hurshy

well haz, the trouble is that the bill as it currently stands (as with the economic stimulus bill) is too watered down to really fix things.

9:54 am

rururocks

yes... like the octomom, Dr. Phil...etc

9:54 am

rururocks

the osmond brothers they can go too

9:54 am

Atalante

I know, but I want to be allowed in!

9:55 am

hurshy

and i want to be allowed out!

9:55 am

Haz1558

You mean Obama is limited in his powers? Can this be?

9:55 am

rururocks

you just need to come up with an asylum factor ata

9:55 am

hurshy

i mean, why should the accident of birth trap you in a country all your life?

9:55 am

hurshy

i know, haz, it's awfully shocking and disappointing, don't you think?

9:56 am

Atalante

I'd rather Ayla was allowed into the UK, but with MS and unable to work, it's very unlikely!

9:56 am

rururocks

he has to learn how to grease the wheels

9:56 am

Haz1558

It's bound to be a grave disappointment, hursh, although I did have my suspicions that it might prove to be the case.

9:57 am

hurshy

well, naturally, one has suspicions, but it was like, if he can't do it, probably nobody can. which means hell in a handbasket for us.

9:57 am

Haz1558

But his slogan - 'Yes we can'. Was it just a slogan?

9:58 am

hurshy

no, not just a slogan. we COULD, but apparently, we WON'T.

9:58 am

rururocks

I thought he was talking about jams and preserves

9:58 am

Atalante

when has any politician live up to their election slogans??

9:59 am

hurshy

i wonder if the framers would have designed anything differently if they could see us right now, completely powerless to do anything about global warming because of congress...

9:59 am

hurshy

i don't know what would be a useful kind of government, though. it's very discouraging to think about.

10:00 am

rururocks

At least Greenland can become a resort area now

10:00 am

Benevolent dictatorship. Just choose your dictator with care.

rururocks

at least we know she will choose her words carefully..lol

10:03 am

further clues, ruru?

10:03 am

Haz1558

True, ruru.

10:03 am

hurshy

i doubt it. i mean i'd support it except that it would take a huge amount of resources; i don't think we can afford it.

10:03 am

rururocks

di 8 reminds me of the catholic church

10:04 am

rururocks

ne 8 is a worm I think

10:04 am

Haz1558

There's something wrong when we can't afford the apostrophe.

10:04 am

Atalante

ragworms, plural

10:05 am

hurshy

RAGWORMS??? i thought they were some kind of sea fairies

10:05 am

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz! how was your holiday?

10:07 am

Haz1558

I didn't tell them, Ata, I just wiped out the silly thing. Last time I tried to talk to a signwriter about apostrophes, he claimed not to know what a plural was. You get a bit downhearted sometimes.

10:07 am

phaeton

A lot of things in the retail business get misspelled to catch peoples attention

10:08 am

Haz1558

The holiday was fine, TO - graduation first in Edinburgh, a day at home to regroup and then five days in Brittany. All very pleasant.

10:08 am

I get to write it cos I'm a doctor *facepalm*

Years ago we had to fill in a form for husband's father 'What medication do you take - do not attach examples'

that's nice and simple :)

Atalante

loooool

10:26 am

Haz1558

You just knew that in times past, people had attached all sorts of things.

10:27 am

Someone must have figured it was easier to attach the pills rather than to try and spell them out.

This particular form was designed for old age pensioners to fill in. It took three of us, all graduates, about three hours to fill in mainly because it was so horrendously complicated.

the disability forms are a *nightmare*

Hello ardilla.

hi ardilla

10:31 am

Haz1558

It's an absolute shame, I do feel sorry for old people who don't have family to help fill in these things because they just will not know what to say in order to get what is rightfully theirs.

10:32 am

Atalante

Mum's trying to fill in Gran's carer allowance forms at the moment.

10:32 am

ardilla

hi TO

10:32 am

Haz1558

If she gets stuck, Citizens Advice are very good at telling you what needs to be said.

10:33 am

Atalante

we're lucky, in a way. Mum worked for Age Concern most of her life, so she knows at least a bit of the expected blurb

10:33 am

Judi

I was wondering if there was an advocacy group the elders could turn to. Most insurance cos and gov. agencies have "helpers" for form filling.

10:33 am

Haz1558

That's good. So many people come to this stage and it's just a bit of a minefield.

10:34 am

crosshair

i find that with govt forms it is best to get out the thesaurus and blind them with the most overblown words you can find for what you are trying to say

10:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, over here we have Citizens Advice Bureau which helps people with claims etc. The problem is that not everybody knows that you can go to them for help.

10:35 am

Atalante

and I suspect most elderly people wouldn't know

10:36 am

crosshair

they understand verbal trotts;)))

10:36 am

Judi

Good advice, Crossy. And use as many plurals and apostrophes as possible!

10:36 am

Haz1558

And not everybody knows what they are entitled to claim. It can get incredibly complicated if you're claiming more than one benefit.

10:37 am

Judi

*raises hand* Oooh! Oooh! I worked for lawyers for seven years. I'm really good at verbal trotts!

10:37 am

crosshair

lol judi

10:37 am

Atalante

also luckily we've got Gran registered into the social services network in Bognor - she now has an occupational therapist dealing with her case and she's *wonderful*! She told us all about these things we could claim

10:37 am

Haz1558

What probably annoys many of us is that the ne'er do wells seem to know their way round the system beautifully while the elderly are confused and made to undergo all sorts of trauma to get at the money.

10:38 am

crosshair

its the same here haz

10:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, Ata, once you get someone into the social services loop, all the secrets seem to come tumbling out.

10:38 am

Atalante

don't they just!

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

the systems get crazier and crazier to screen out all the cheaters. problem is, they will NEVER be at a loss

10:39 am

Judi

Beuracratic rat bastards. You just know they deliberately design the processes that way so they don't have to dole out the funds and services.

10:39 am

Haz1558

Did you know that you get more money if your child has ADHD? If your child has asthma, you get extra money for putting in wooden floors. Suddenly we have lots of hyperactive asthmatics..

whereas we're struggling to get C's disability allowance renewed, and she has to have a vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and diabetic friendly diet!

10:44 am

Haz1558

Poor girl - that has to be a very restrictive kind of diet to follow.

10:44 am

Judi

I believe that probably qualifies as an addiction, Crossy. So, you could get probably get free counseling at least. Are there any chapters of "Bacanon" near you?

We've had a government funded national health service since 1948 or so - the service today probably bears no resemblance to what was originallly envisaged. Our health service has become very top-heavy and costs a huge amount and whillst it does a reasonalbe job for most of the time, it is certainly not perfect.

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

heck only rich americans can afford to go beyond normal protocols

10:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, they'll come if they need specialised treatment that might not be available on NHS, whether for reasons of cash or lack of expertise. Waiting lists are a problem here as well, but it's a case of there being too much demand on services and not enough resources. Medical services just swallow money.

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

and those protocols are not set by doctors. they are set by insurors.

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

so how much worse to have them set by breaucrats?

10:50 am

Haz1558

I still think it's admirable that the service is free 'from cradle to grave' but those who set up the health service probably didn't envisage fertility treatment or plastic surgery etc being expected to be funded by government.

10:51 am

cybernan

wouldn't mind a clue for that be 5 either

10:51 am

crosshair

Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program recipients may be eligible for a special diet benefit for specific doctor prescribed diets. This allows clients extra money to accommodate special diet needs. Diets for which extra money is allowed include diets for diabetics requiring over 2400 calories, kidney disease, gluten free, high protein, restricted sodium, hyperlipoproteinemia and infant formula for therapeutic purposes or if breastfeeding is contraindicated. Many Registered Dietitians in the region feel the current diet benefit schedule is too limited in scope and out of date in terms of financial increments. Revisions to the diet schedule to reflect other special diets required for those diagnosed with other diseases is needed.

On facebook?

2:59 pm

KatieMcG

you could send them an email through fb and ask who they are

3:00 pm

Uniquity

If so, you can always send them a message asking who they are/how you know them. I run into trouble when 'friending' babblers sometimes. Although, I changed my settings so I can't be searched or added, so I don't get that anymore :)

3:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

well it must be someone who knows my real name - umless they are just searching babblers

3:02 pm

does it trouble you, movie? Do you wake fully rested or are you tired?

4:08 pm

movieman

Usually I wake up pretty refreshed, but I gradually get more and more tired as the day goes on

4:09 pm

movieman

And I find myself having the occasional nap now and then

4:10 pm

movieman

It's probably a result of my obesity

4:10 pm

movieman

so I have been put on a low-carb diet

4:10 pm

sprite

it seems sometimes they can do something about it. I keep telling my love he should get it looked into.

Is that a tough diet, movie? Losing weight isn't easy (I know!)

4:11 pm

movieman

Pretty tough, I'm not allowed anything with sugar in neither(so no fruit even)

4:12 pm

argh! That is really tough! I wish you all kinds of luck with it, and may it work fast.

When I switch tabs it all of a sudden opens one up in a new window, out of the blue

9:29 pm

Rushie

I enjoy tabbed browsing

9:29 pm

10:40 pm

Trifioso

I love that expression, torgone!

10:40 pm

Minveryork

Well if you have to let it rot and fall off,shouldn't you just get it amputated? Not nice of doctor to say that

10:41 pm

Jacula

Min - I agree with you about what the doctor said. That's very blunt and unkind.

10:41 pm

forwardbyfaith

first ce5,12?

10:41 pm

Minveryork

I have never heard that expression before torgone.

10:41 pm

Jacula

Bekki - is/was your hubby a heavy smoker?

10:41 pm

Jacula

Or is it the diabetes causing that?

10:41 pm

bekki

I know I thought they would take it but they want to do this crazy thing the nurse even thinks its crazy

10:41 pm

Nef

bekki, has he been non-compliant? Did the doctor say that in frustration or what?

Congratulations Trifioso on fireworks!Hooray for you

10:43 pm

forwardbyfaith

thanks Min - that helped me finish off the c's

10:43 pm

Jacula

Min - I do both! I also dread what might lie ahead.

10:43 pm

bekki

he wants them to cut it off. and he has good insurance

10:43 pm

Jacula

But, oddly enough, I'm more concerned about my Other Half, who also does both.

10:46 pm

Jacula

My Other Half's sister's diabetic partner recently had his big toe cut off. Other Half's Dad took him to the hospital. The next time he had to take someone there, it was Other Half's Mum to have her breast removed. Next one with health probs was Other Half, but his were in the 'wedding tackle' region. His Dad offered him a lift, saying, 'I don't really want to take anyone else there because they seem to come back with bits missings!' Other Half declined his Dad's offer of a lift and my son took him instead.

10:46 pm

bekki

I have no idea. I think because of age and other health problems they have given up on him

10:48 pm

harpjane

thanks!

10:48 pm

Jacula

Bekki - it might not be that they hae given up on him. Maybe it would be less stressful on his heart if the toe dropped off naturally?

10:49 pm

bekki

but it is stressful for me to see it

10:49 pm

bekki

its looks bad

10:50 pm

bekki

paced

10:50 pm

bekki

sorry

10:50 pm

Jacula

I understand that, Bekki. MyMum' neighbour's hub had diabetes but was also a drinker and smoker. She had to dress and undress him in the end and told us about removing his socks... and...

10:51 pm

Nef

bekki, keep it covered. If it is dry and brittle it may fall off and he might not have to worry about the effects of more meds on the kidney function

10:51 pm

Jacula

Thing is, an op might not be the best thing for him.

10:51 pm

Jacula

And, as Nef just said... it might be the best option.

10:52 pm

bekki

they want me to clean and bandage it twice a day yuck

10:52 pm

bekki

it sucks getting old

10:52 pm

Nef

how old is he bekki?

10:58 pm

bekki

tonight I feel like the old one

10:59 pm

Jacula

Bekki - it's understanable that you're feeling low, and somewhat put upon. It's only human.

10:59 pm

Jacula

*understandable, I meant.

11:00 pm

bekki

I didn't get much sleep last night.. hope I sleep good tonight

11:00 pm

Jacula

I hope you do, too, bekki. It can feel so lonely being a carer at times.

11:11 pm

11:11 pm

forwardbyfaith

I'm not jilli - I've been looking for 10 minutes and still can't find it - I hope it's not a common word!

11:12 pm

Jacula

Last word I found was one I thought I'd already typed in - a we word for piddles.

11:12 pm

jillibus

the wristslap was for giving the 3rd letter

11:12 pm

forwardbyfaith

same here jacula - I just found it but I KNOW I typed it once before

11:12 pm

Jacula

Heh, Jilli!:-D

11:12 pm

jillibus

mine was the we4 for tinier.

11:13 pm

jillibus

jac, is that you dog in the icon?

11:13 pm

jillibus

your

11:13 pm

Jacula

Tinier? Never thought of the word that way, jilli, I just saw it as a word for someone who's piddling. LOL

11:13 pm

Jacula

Jilli - it WAS my dog, but he's been gone about 13 years now.

11:13 pm

jillibus

I looked it up

11:14 pm

jillibus

awww, jac

11:14 pm

dcseain

this is a tough grid

11:14 pm

Jacula

Not had a dog since. Cats keep finding me.

11:15 pm

jillibus

well, Cedric's been gone for about 30 years

11:16 pm

jillibus

but the memories are still alive

11:16 pm

Jacula

Anyway, the trauma of having to take him on his final journey after 18 years of love and companionship is somethings I can't get over. My old cat, who I had for 6 years also caused me similar grief, but at leat I have her remains in a box on a shelf next to her favourite chair (she was an indoors type of girl after having to have an outsoors sort of life). I was so upset when I took my dog, I forgot to ask for himm back.:((((((

11:17 pm

jillibus

god, it's hard, I know

11:17 pm

Nef

okay, could someone clue me the ap 5/12 and the ap6/21 please? I am not finding these; and I keep thinkking they are easy!

11:19 pm

Nef

oh, dear! And my DH has just been put on a CPAP mask for that very reason! Thank you!

11:19 pm

jillibus

oh LOL!

11:19 pm

Jacula

Jilli - he didn't leave me. I know this sounds weird. In times of need and sometimes when I wasn't even thinking about him, he'd be with me. I'd feel him and also see him out of the corner of my eye. My old cat does that now, too.

11:20 pm

jillibus

the ones we love never leave, jac

11:21 pm

jillibus

enough. I'm getting maudlin.

11:21 pm

dcseain

di8 is a lovely word :)

11:21 pm

jillibus

now that would be a good babbleword

11:22 pm

jillibus

I mean maudlin

11:23 pm

jillibus

the def of the di8 here says it's not used much now in English. Phooey.

11:24 pm

dcseain

yes, few write coÃ¶perate any longer

11:24 pm

jillibus

didn't know it was called that, though -- or forgot is more likely.

11:24 pm

dcseain

or reÃ«ducate for that matter

11:25 pm

jillibus

but there's ZÃ¶e and LÃ¶is...

11:25 pm

dcseain

indeed :)

11:26 pm

jillibus

although my gd lois doesn't use it

11:26 pm

dcseain

i was taught to spell like that, but it had fallen out of fashion here in NA by time i was 10 or 12.

11:26 pm

jillibus

me too, dc

11:27 pm

dcseain

of course, i was taught to double final consonants when adding a suffix - stopped, labbelled and the like, too. Especially with the Ls one rarely sees that any longer.

11:28 pm

jillibus

oh yes we do, in Brit and Canadian spelling. My book about Danes is the Time Traveller.

11:28 pm

Jacula

I was taught that way, too re the names etc.

11:29 pm

jillibus

Americans keep "correcting" it to Traveler, grrr.

11:30 pm

dcseain

is the usage of enrol instead of enroll in Canada due to French? for NEXUS, we have US ENrollment Centers and Canadian Enrolment Centres.

11:30 pm

Jacula

Grrr indeed!

11:30 pm

dcseain

yes, that is VERY frustrating, jilli. I teach MS Word the proper spellings every time i'm using a new instance.

11:31 pm

jillibus

I have no idea, dc. Canadian spelling is real mixture and very inconsistent.

11:31 pm

Jacula

I don't use spell checkers. They don't know what they are checking about. LOL

11:31 pm

jillibus

I correct spell checkers.

11:31 pm

dcseain

but it's such fun to see them screw up, jac :)

11:31 pm

dcseain

yes, as do i jilli; it's easy to do

11:32 pm

jillibus

I actually corrected a small Oxford dictionary when I was young. They spelt the plant part "calix" instead of "calyx"

11:32 pm

dcseain

nifty, jill :)

11:32 pm

dcseain

hint for do7, pls?

11:33 pm

Jacula

Language IS fascinating, though. Especially English, whih is a mongrel that grows and changes constantly. My son and I were talking about languages earlier, and how elementsof many languages are to be found in English.

11:33 pm

jillibus

do7 -- more shifty

11:34 pm

dcseain

a-ha! Ty. I knew that consonant cluster had to get used somehow :)

11:34 pm

Jacula

Jilli - you're so like me! I once corrected a thesaurus.

11:34 pm

jillibus

yw, dc :D

11:35 pm

jillibus

well, nobody's perfect except us, eh jac?

11:35 pm

jillibus

dc, that cluster gets used a lot here

11:35 pm

Jacula

LOL, Jilli. Of course they are not.

11:35 pm

dcseain

i am going to have to throw in the towel on this one

11:36 pm

dcseain

i'll never find the last 56 in the next 25 min

11:36 pm

jillibus

oh no, dc!

11:36 pm

jillibus

oh well, I see what you mean...

11:37 pm

dcseain

i started late, then had to run errands and get to my D&D game, and 88 in an hour was not to be this grid :)

11:37 pm

Jacula

Precocious thenm Jilli, and 'a pain in the butt now'.:-) Long may it be so!

11:37 pm

dcseain

but i brought 2 people back from the dead in the D&D game tonight - one of them twice. :)

11:37 pm

Hear, Hear, jacula :)

'Tis a miracle worker you are, dcs, to be sure. LOL

11:38 pm

btw, dc, just checked your profile and it's "to wit"...will now check the link

11:38 pm

dcseain

being a Cleric helps.

11:38 pm

Jacula

de6 (1st) to remove the headmaster's spanking implement?

11:39 pm

jillibus

de6 -- remove the seat from a raffia chair (?)

11:39 pm

dcseain

if it loads, i'll find and correct it.

11:39 pm

I thought of that too, jac, lol!

did mine make sense?

11:40 pm

Jacula

It did to me, jilli.

11:41 pm

dcseain

oh, jilli, twas yours i read, though jac's makes sense, though it was paddles when/where i grew up.

11:41 pm

Jacula

Must be more 'kinky' where you grew up, dcs. LOL

11:42 pm

jillibus

paddles would have been less painful, I think

11:42 pm

Jacula

Cat 'o Nine Tails, anyone?

11:42 pm

dcseain

they outlawed paddling, and all forms of corporal punishment, here commonwealth-wide when i was 13.

11:43 pm

Jacula

Jilli - I've no idea, not ever having been spanked.

11:43 pm

dcseain

i have 2 of those

11:43 pm

dcseain

don't know where they are, other than a box in the storeroom, though

11:43 pm

Jacula

You do, dcs??

11:43 pm

jillibus

oh, it's a painful subject in my little family. Son fells emontionally crippled by a sadistic housemaster.

11:44 pm

dcseain

i do indeed, jac.

11:44 pm

jillibus

I was spanked lots. Probably deserved it.

I could stand a 7 month winter, should move up to Fort Mac

11:47 pm

jillibus

good, dc. I'm still lost there

11:47 pm

Jacula

It doesn't matter what temp surrounds me these days, I go from hot flush (flash) to freezing in a matter of minutes.

11:47 pm

jillibus

I could stand a 12 month summer.

11:48 pm

dcseain

it's warm here mostly from April to October. We used to get out of school for heat sometimes back before AC was common.

11:48 pm

jillibus

I'm so glad I was spared that, jac -- don't know why

11:48 pm

Nef

Rushie

I prefer to not think about what the break is for

11:51 pm

Jacula

Many languages use a 'ps' sound for urination. I assume that's because the word was formed from the sound.
