Haggis has a mystery-meaty taste, kind of like liverwurst, but with other flavors in it. As The Bard said, it's the "great chieftain o' the puddin' race!"

12:36 am

jillibus

YAY josh!

jillibus

Of course, I paid up right away when I came here so I never realised that.

12:47 am

ZeStY421

12:47 am

sandyloo

zes, It's well worth it to become pro, if you continue to play\which we hope you do

12:47 am

jillibus

Zesty, you get a free ride for two weeks -- after that, no more tile stats, no more fireworks, no more knowing how many words in the grid.

12:47 am

robbie09

me too jilli, when i realized how nice everyone was!

12:48 am

ZeStY421

12:48 am

ZeStY421

12:49 am

jillibus

You will, when you get used to things and ask for clues and use Lickety and morewords

12:49 am

sandyloo

Jilli, wouldn't etuis be a nice thing to make a collection of? They are so charming

12:49 am

robbie09

when I first started playing I didn't realize you actually saw fireworks..lol...until I finished my first grid!

12:49 am

jillibus

(that's you will get fireworks)

12:49 am

ZeStY421

isnt that latin?

12:49 am

jillibus

yes, sandy -- there are so many variations on the theme, aren't there!

12:50 am

jillibus

isn't what Latin? Etuis? It's French.

12:50 am

sandyloo

Me too robbie, I dont think I ever saw fireworks for about a year (I always wondered what the 'fireworks' were) I was too shy and reserved to ask.

12:50 am

robbie09

that's a very pretty one you have for your icon jilli!

12:50 am

ZeStY421

lol k oops. will someone tell me about the themes?

12:51 am

jillibus

I thought it was too, robbie.

12:51 am

sandyloo

icons are what we can put into the little pictures you see, and we do a little writeup on them, very educational

12:52 am

sandyloo

I always find the icon for the day by looking at sprite's profile - is there another way?

12:52 am

robbie09

I never realized they could stand on a table like that!..very nice!

12:53 am

jillibus

A babbler called sprite lists the daily icon themes in her profile. Any babbler can send it suggestions. Many players don't follow the themes, as you will have noticed. It's fun to look them up on Google and find images there.

12:53 am

ZeStY421

so the themes dont have to do with the words in the puzzle?

12:53 am

jillibus

You can find sprite in the Rankings, and her URL is http://tinyurl.com/6z7unz

12:53 am

robbie09

sometimes..lol

12:54 am

sandyloo

on Fridays we usually clue a word from the grid as the day's icon

12:54 am

robbie09

sometimes the icon theme is use a word in the grid

12:54 am

jillibus

no, Zesty, except that on Fridays the icons can be clues

12:54 am

ZeStY421

gotcha, and ty e1 for helping me with my endless ?s

12:55 am

jillibus

Rubin (not Ruben) Carter was a middleweight boxer who was convicted of murder, but the conviction was overturned.

1:25 am

Douglas

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, â€œMy God, they killed them all!â€
Here comes the story of the Hu9
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethinâ€™ that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world

1:26 am

Douglas

Denzel Washington was in the movie about Rubin Carter, but I didn't see it.

Jacob Dylan is supposed to have inherited the genes as well...

1:39 am

PAV3

I'm at 26...but tomorrow's another early day...dr appt in the pm

1:39 am

jillibus

I hope Jacob can enunciate words

1:41 am

rubyfoo

this grid is so much friendlier than the last few!

1:41 am

Douglas

The Christmas album was a misfire, in my opinion, but there are so many other songs to remember

1:42 am

PAV3

I have my whites in the dryer, and need to be awake enough to pull the shirts out for tomorrow...

1:44 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ra8-50? Thanks.

1:45 am

Douglas

Moira MacTaggert is in the grid, that scientist lady who is involved with the X-Men (and Charles Xavier)

1:45 am

jillibus

PB for doug!

1:46 am

rururocks

dougie to the pb now

1:46 am

jillibus

sorry, peach, don't have it

1:46 am

gapeach

Thanks anyway, jilli.

1:48 am

Douglas

Oops, my bad *trudges off to PB, contemplates snacks, recalling scones when thinking about you-know-who MacTaggert*

1:48 am

rururocks

well the mo5 the merrier I have always said doug

1:52 am

Douglas

Hmm...I only have 12 of the c's

1:52 am

rubyfoo

c's are my favorites!

1:52 am

rubyfoo

I don't know why

1:52 am

rururocks

26 here...8 to go

1:52 am

jillibus

Cs are hard!

1:52 am

rubyfoo

1:52 am

jillibus

morewords helped me get them though.

1:54 am

ZeStY421

what is morewords?

1:55 am

ZeStY421

lol i need all the help i can get =)`

1:55 am

jillibus

www.morewords.com

1:55 am

ZeStY421

ok, ty

1:56 am

Douglas

A clever dictionary search, zesty

1:56 am

ZeStY421

trying to catch up to all you "pros" lol

1:56 am

rubyfoo

83 words in 1/2 hour, a record for me! now I had better get dressed. See you later

1:56 am

ZeStY421

wtg and tc

1:56 am

jillibus

I thought you were an ex-Tangleworder, Zesty

1:57 am

ZeStY421

i am

1:57 am

jillibus

well done, ruby!

1:57 am

ZeStY421

why would you think otherwise?

1:58 am

jillibus

most Tangleworders who come here already know a lot of the weird words

1:58 am

jillibus

and know about morewords etc

1:58 am

ZeStY421

i never used any help

1:58 am

jillibus

purist, eh? ;)

1:59 am

ZeStY421

lol apparently. i really dont like that i need outside help for this game/site

2:01 am

jillibus

you don't have to use it -- just ask for clues as many do

2:01 am

ZeStY421

kinda feels like those with computer skills succeed where i just want to rip my hair out lol

2:01 am

ZeStY421

kinda feels like those with computer skills succeed where i just want to rip my hair out lol

2:01 am

ZeStY421

kinda feels like those with computer skills succeed where i just want to rip my hair out lol

2:01 am

ZeStY421

kinda feels like those with computer skills succeed where i just want to rip my hair out lol

2:02 am

ZeStY421

whoa SORRY

2:02 am

jillibus

as we've said before, this is a cooperative game, not a competitive one, so peop e really like to give clues -- it's fun too.

2:02 am

ZeStY421

yeah, i like the cooperative nature and chatting

2:03 am

jillibus

that was the hiccup which always happens at this time (2 am grid time)

2:03 am

Douglas

The nicicity of the people here is one of the great things about Babble

2:03 am

ZeStY421

lol, good to know, and sry bout my regurgitation

2:03 am

ZeStY421

too bad after 2 weeks apparently i wont get these amenities

2:04 am

jillibus

no prob, happens to lots of people ntil they know about it

2:04 am

Douglas

I am amused that ca5 ca5s off the west wall

2:05 am

jillibus

you'll still get the chat and the clues and Lickety's list

2:05 am

jillibus

lol, doug -- it does!

2:05 am

ZeStY421

ok good lol, thats all i get now

2:06 am

jillibus

you get the tile stats now too, under the grid. You won't after 2 weeks

2:06 am

ZeStY421

lol dont understand them anyway! wont miss them!!

2:07 am

ZeStY421

again, thanks for answering all my ?s ... i know it must be annoying. but some stuff cant be answered by reading the instructions, ya know?

2:07 am

ZeStY421

ps- i'd like anyone that wants to, to add me to friends, since i cannot do so

2:07 am

jillibus

They are a good help, zesty -- they tell you how many words start with the letter in each tile

2:08 am

jillibus

There's no point in doing that, zesty.

2:08 am

ZeStY421

eh, they just confuse me and make me lose focus lol

2:08 am

ZeStY421

no point? eh?

2:09 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ca6-24? Thanks

2:09 am

jillibus

Let me give you a "for instance" -- there is only one word which starts with a Q. None start with the O next to it.

2:09 am

jillibus

Very simple.

2:10 am

ZeStY421

gotcha, but the same info can be found from the lickety, yes?

2:10 am

lynxxx

ca6.24 the person at the cash register is the cas****

2:11 am

jillibus

No, zesty, Lickety's list doesn't tell you which tile the word comes from. And sometimes Lickety doesn't post the list.

2:11 am

gapeach

Thanks, lynxxx.

2:12 am

jillibus

peach, I was going to say it's a French notebook.

2:12 am

lynxxx

yw peach

2:12 am

ZeStY421

well, just , grrrrr

2:12 am

Douglas

I am amused by er5/12, as both the word and it's meaning are names

2:12 am

sprite

morning all

2:12 am

ZeStY421

bathroom break, brb and gla

2:12 am

gapeach

Thanks you, jilli.

2:12 am

ZeStY421

gm sprite, welcome

2:13 am

Douglas

Morning sprite

2:13 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite

2:13 am

ZeStY421

grrr doug, now im curious

2:13 am

sprite

hi all, thanks for the welcome :)

2:13 am

sandyloo

hello sprite, hope you are feeling well

2:13 am

jillibus

hi sprite!

2:14 am

Douglas

It appears in crossword puzzles quite a bit

2:14 am

ZeStY421

lol so does not help me

2:14 am

lynxxx

Miss Jong

2:14 am

sprite

oh sandy I love your etui!
No, still not well, but stubbornly holding on to the belief it is a little better ever day. Thanks for caring.

2:15 am

sandyloo

thanks sprite, and hope you are eating well and sleeping well to help you get better

2:15 am

jillibus

I love YOUR etui, sprite!

2:15 am

sprite

your icon too, jilli, and your writeup, lovely

2:16 am

ZeStY421

ok doug- whats funny about er5/12

2:16 am

sprite

hehehe isn't it beautiful! But very very expensive. And I see I am wrong in my writeup, the english etui doesn't only mean needle holder. Let me correct.

2:16 am

jillibus

doug, that er 5 is a kind of heather (which can also be a girl's name)

2:16 am

flosey

hello again

2:17 am

ZeStY421

wb flosey

2:17 am

flosey

thanks doug for the er words

2:17 am

jillibus

hi flosey -- sleepless in saltspring?

2:17 am

Douglas

Yeah, that it's one of the few words I know where both the word, and the meaning of the word, can be a girl's name...can't think of any others, can you?

2:18 am

ZeStY421

lol cant think of that one...

2:18 am

flosey

lol, Jilli - have you seen the moon? It's gorgeous, when I woke and came out it was so bright in here

2:18 am

jillibus

zesty -- another use for the tiles is that when you've found all the words which come from them, they turn grey so you know you needn't look for any more coming from there.

2:18 am

sandyloo

nice and interesting writeups sprite and jilli and Jilli what a good suggestion, I have learnt something

2:18 am

ZeStY421

so E0/1?

2:19 am

sprite

hi flosey!

2:19 am

flosey

but we did have joseph yesterday, Douglas

2:19 am

ZeStY421

i need one nvm got it ty

2:19 am

jillibus

No, flosey, I've seen nothing but the computer and the TV, lol! Will go and look . . .

2:19 am

sprite

your etui is sweet, flosey

2:19 am

flosey

you must see it, Jilli

2:19 am

flosey

ty sprite

2:19 am

sprite

joseph and joes

2:20 am

sandyloo

our moon was huge and red last night- they say there is 'blood on the moon' when it is like that and it means that tonight someone will .....die! (old wives tale of course)

2:20 am

ZeStY421

ok does this er rhyme with anything?

2:20 am

ZeStY421

sandy- also means rough seas

2:20 am

sprite

Zesty, start with Mr Clapton's first name, then add a vowel to make it a girl's name.

2:20 am

flosey

Sprite, your pencases are lovely

2:20 am

jillibus

Zesty, E 0/1 meand that there is one word starting with E which comes from that tile, but you haven't found it. When you find it, it will say E 1/1 and turen grey.

2:21 am

sprite

thanks flosey

2:21 am

ZeStY421

oh geez, im dumb... ty lol

2:21 am

ZeStY421

and ty for not treating me like im an idiot!!!

2:21 am

ZeStY421

didnt know we could do proper nouns

2:21 am

sprite

sandy, that is no tale, it is the hard truth. Every night with a red moon somebody dies. Of course, every other night, people die too ;)

2:21 am

flosey

we've all been there Zesty

2:22 am

sandyloo

Zest, when I started I made the mistake of not asking and it took me ages to jell, your way is the way to go

2:22 am

sprite

we cannot, Zesty. Do proper names, I mean. No words that are capitalised. But some names are also normal words. Like the heather.

2:22 am

ZeStY421

well, lets pretend that the person who dies is an evil murderer person and the world is better w/o them

2:22 am

sandyloo

So true Sprite

2:22 am

ZeStY421

ahh ok gotcha ty again

2:23 am

sandyloo

how can there be 8 n's , I only have one!

2:23 am

sprite

*grins at sandy*

2:23 am

ZeStY421

and 34 c's

2:23 am

ZeStY421

hah bra size nice

2:24 am

sprite

hah *smug* I have 2

2:24 am

sandyloo

I don't feel so alarmed now, Sprite (not that I believe old wives tales)

2:24 am

jillibus

and joseph is a kind of cloth

2:24 am

ZeStY421

sry, im delerious.... been up for too long, ignore me

2:24 am

sandyloo

I have 12 c's and really wish that was my bra size

2:24 am

jillibus

Zesty, did you know that the ? beside the words in the list lead you to a definition?

2:24 am

Douglas

Some of the n's are a bit slangy, sandy

2:24 am

ZeStY421

12c? you'd be like a 7 year old silly

2:25 am

sprite

they usually are founded in some kind of truth, sandy, lol. But common sense tells us often enough it isn't something spectacular.
Oh didn't you love the word somewhen yesterday?

2:25 am

sandyloo

that made me see one thanks doug

2:25 am

ZeStY421

NOOOOO i didnot!!!

2:25 am

sandyloo

I would like to be 7 again and know what I know now

2:25 am

ZeStY421

however, that doesnt help for the words you dont have yet...

2:25 am

jillibus

Lots to learn here ;)

2:25 am

ZeStY421

ditto sandy

2:26 am

sprite

god if I only don't ever have to be 7 again

2:26 am

sandyloo

that 'somewhen' I have never heard b efore

2:26 am

jillibus

flosey -- too many clouds here, hiding most of the moon

2:26 am

Douglas

somewhen was a word? In a grid?

2:26 am

jillibus

yes, doug -- silly, eh?

2:26 am

flosey

I'd like to hear someone put the word into a sentence

2:27 am

lynxxx

somewhen over the the rainbow

2:27 am

flosey

hmmm, will go visit my grandson somewhen??

2:27 am

sprite

one word at a time, Zesty, and don't feel dumb if you don't see them. most of us have been playing this game for quite a while and practice makes... nah, no way perfect, lol, not with babble. But less blind, yes.

2:27 am

ZeStY421

ask a drunk person flosey =)

2:27 am

Douglas

I remember that grid because it had three w4's starting in whe

2:27 am

jillibus

I met you somewhen, flosey

2:27 am

sprite

flosey: When are you finally going to grow up? Answer: somewhen.

2:27 am

flosey

lol zesty

2:27 am

sandyloo

Some of us remain blind

2:27 am

ZeStY421

i feel like i should be better since i was a tangleworder...

2:27 am

sprite

yesterday, Douglas

2:27 am

ZeStY421

lmao very nice sprite

2:28 am

ZeStY421

haha and jill

2:28 am

flosey

lol Sprite - maybe never!

2:28 am

sandyloo

Zes: it is interesting to note that Sprite is one of the most accomplished Babblers and English is her second language (she is a hero)

2:28 am

ZeStY421

u guys crack me up, brb

2:28 am

ZeStY421

quite impressive

2:28 am

sprite

hahaha that is what somewhen means... some very unspecified time and place, or rather never

2:28 am

jillibus

I want to be like sprite when I grow up

2:29 am

flosey

Sprite, did you ever live in an English speaking country?

2:29 am

sprite

hey you guys are making me blush. And it isn't even true, Zesty, there are many babblers loads better than I am.

2:29 am

sprite

I wish, flosey

2:30 am

flosey

your English seems so natural Sprite

2:30 am

sprite

awww jilli you stole my line! I want to be like you when (if) I grow up.

2:31 am

jillibus

Hehe, sprite ;)

2:31 am

sprite

flosey: for the bigger part I owe that to you, I learn so much from the chat. And I read a lot of english, that helps too.

2:33 am

sprite

lol do you recognise this: you type in a weird word, it is valid and you wonder: where on earth did I see that before and how did I remember it is a word? And no idea what it means.

2:33 am

flosey

you are amazing sprite - I am ashamed to admit, I don't even speak French - it wasn't compulsory when I was in lower school

2:35 am

flosey

I always wished they had made both French and English compulsory from very early schooling

2:36 am

sprite

I am nothing special. And why be ashamed? English is a world language, so one can expect to be able to use it in many places. Dutch is... well... lol. I think even Afrikaans is better known than Dutch. We must learn other languages or we cannot communicate. And as a trade nation, we always realised that so it is common here to speak a bit of several languages.

2:36 am

sprite

oh yes that would have been great, flosey. Learning a language is so easy when you are a child.

2:36 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I think you might be slightly special

2:36 am

melissamay

sprite, I've been around here a long time, and I can tell you: you are something special. :D

2:36 am

sprite

lol sandy, aren't we all?

2:37 am

melissamay

jinx sandyloo!

2:37 am

sandyloo

in our own ways I guess we are

2:37 am

sprite

aw thanks, now stop it because I am literally blushing

2:37 am

sandyloo

lol meli

2:37 am

sandyloo

it could be your temperature causing that Sprite

2:38 am

sprite

so nice to see you, btw, melissa! How've you been and how is the music going?

2:38 am

Douglas

The rankings, both Cream of the Crop and Village Elders, dispute your claim that there are many Babblers better than you. A few with higher rankings

2:38 am

melissamay

We made sprite blush! Hee hee, we win.

2:39 am

sprite

I always feel the rankings express how stubborn one is, not how good. I hate to leave a grid unfinished, always wondering if there are new words to learn.

2:40 am

melissamay

Aw sprite, it's been a long while hasn't it? Thank you so much for asking, we're still making music and plugging along. I just started playing again after a long hiatus and couldn't resist saying hi when I saw you here.

2:41 am

Douglas

But stubborn has negative connotations. How about "blindly persistent in the face of all reason and common sense?" No wait, that didn't come out right

2:41 am

sprite

yes missed seeing you here! Glad you are still playing. It may not make you a millionaire but it must be so great to do what you really love.

2:41 am

sprite

errrrr well Douglas, exactly!

2:42 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I hear what you are saying and now I am trying to get over that feeling so I can play and still go and do other things

2:43 am

sprite

babble took me too much time in the early days, but now I am fast enough to finish grids and still have plenty of time for other things, so I don't try to kick the habit ;)

2:43 am

melissamay

It's helpful when you never have millionaire illusions, ha. But yes, it's great doing what I love after years of daydreaming about it and just deciding it was worth the work even if it would never be my "job". It's a privilege to be able to follow a creative passion.

2:43 am

sandyloo

Oh no! Nicky is watching that 'reflection of real life show" The Bold and the Beautiful (I dont like it)

2:44 am

Douglas

But persistent is a pretty good word, just by itself

2:44 am

sprite

true, Douglas. We could hide behind persistent and look pretty normal.

2:44 am

sandyloo

good one Doug

2:45 am

flosey

think I need a snack, brb

2:45 am

sprite

sandyloo, that show is as old as the world, right?
In dutch it is a hoot. It is about fashion and it has a Brooke (broek = pants), a Ridge (rits = zippers) and a Thorn (torn = tear in clothes)

2:45 am

ZeStY421

anyone um. this is prob. easy but, ai4,4

2:45 am

melissamay

I always thought you were so sharp, Sprite, even in the early days...it's rather scary to suppose you've gotten even better. But I'll stop making you blush now.

2:46 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I hope your seemingly intimate knowledge does not mean you are an avid viewer

2:46 am

sprite

no it is not that easy, Zesty, not a very common word. It is what you breathe + a consonant. And when you have found it, put a C before it.

2:46 am

Douglas

Add a nurse, zesty

2:47 am

sprite

lolllll sandy, years and years ago, the daughter of a friend of mine was hooked on it. I lived with them and saw more of it than I cared to.

2:47 am

ZeStY421

lmao okay, you both have confused me to no end! i should stop asking for help because honestly, im dumbfounded... okay... lets see how long this takes me lol

2:47 am

jillibus

ai4/4 -- what you breathe + a consonant

2:47 am

sprite

snap, jilli :)

2:48 am

sandyloo

My mother who is a very intelligent woman, watches it too

2:48 am

jillibus

yes, sprite -- but I was so slow!

2:48 am

ZeStY421

ooooh, wait, no...

2:48 am

sprite

to each his or her own drug, sandy ;)

2:49 am

ZeStY421

k nothing i tried, im going to feel so dumb once its done...

2:49 am

sandyloo

true - even I have habits that are not to be admired

2:49 am

sprite

if I were really that sharp, I could find biggies earlier in the game.

2:50 am

sprite

you sandy? Nah! *giggles*

2:50 am

Douglas

If it comes down to it, zesty, just try all the 4-letter words that start with ai... no wait, that didn't come out right

2:51 am

ZeStY421

I DID!

2:51 am

melissamay

By that metric, I'm about as sharp as safety scissors.

2:51 am

sandyloo

that reminds me ...wine o'clock is approaching

2:51 am

jillibus

for what you breathe, zesty, start with the A in the 2nd row. Then the I below it. Then look up to the right, and then up again over the A.

2:51 am

sandyloo

lol jilli

2:51 am

sprite

take the word for the stuff you breathe, Zesty.
Then check in the grid which consonants could follow. Only 5 consonants are possible.

2:51 am

lynxxx

Zesty - do you have the ca5.12 mound of rocks? drop the c

2:52 am

sprite

lolllll jilli!

2:52 am

sprite

hi lyn, wb

2:52 am

sandyloo

I didn't have the mound of rocks, thanks for that

2:53 am

ZeStY421

why wont it work???

2:53 am

ZeStY421

my grid is defective!!!

2:53 am

flosey

hm, thanks Sandy, I needed that one too

2:53 am

sprite

*happy dance* got a 7, got a 7

2:53 am

lynxxx

hu6.27!

2:53 am

jillibus

that ai 4/4 word's ? doen't give a definition, but Google shows that it's Scots for "iron"!

2:53 am

sandyloo

I have 3 7's but no 8 or 9

2:54 am

jillibus

Zesty, did you follow my directions?

2:54 am

ZeStY421

"to the letter"

2:55 am

jillibus

Well, it should have given you the word. I can't be any plainer than that without spelling it out.

2:55 am

sprite

even infoplease doesn't have any more than that, jilli. Iron it is... god I love Scots.

2:55 am

ZeStY421

i think im defective .... lol

2:56 am

ZeStY421

i know and i thank you jill, wasnt asking you to spell

2:56 am

sprite

just let it be for now and co4 back to it later, Zesty. Babble blindness is something we all know.

2:56 am

ZeStY421

=)

2:57 am

flosey

where are you zesty?

2:57 am

jillibus

I can't understand why you can't get the word from the directions I gave you at 2:51 grid time

2:57 am

ZeStY421

i guess i should feel better then, that i couldnt get it lol

2:58 am

ZeStY421

NY, i donno! i typed in every single possibility, repeatedly, starting with jill's suggestion

2:58 am

sprite

I think Babble should never make anyone feel bad. It is a game, it should be fun. We all have our blind moments and in the beginning even more, because everything is new. Once you feel comfortable with the grid, you will find that your tangleword experience is a big help.

2:59 am

ZeStY421

lol ty sprite, and it does help, for the first half of the words =)

2:59 am

sprite

see? :D

2:59 am

melissamay

Amen, sprite.

2:59 am

flosey

and if you're in NY, it's 4:am - you deserve to be very tired

2:59 am

ZeStY421

but yeah, i think im gonna go, ty e1 and gn and gl

3:00 am

ZeStY421

maybe im just not good at following directions

3:00 am

sprite

sleep well Zesty, and don't dream of elusive words

3:00 am

flosey

goodnight Zesty, hope to see you again

3:00 am

ZeStY421

lol ty sprite, flosey gn all hugs

3:00 am

sandyloo

Yesterday I couldn't sews....it was one of my last and I had to have a clue LOL

3:00 am

flosey

take a look at the moon Zesty, before you go to bed

3:00 am

ZeStY421

i will however, leave this screen on should i dream up any solutions !

Evening/morning all
Wanted to change my icon to follow the theme today but for so4 reason it doesn't want to work today.

3:01 am

i did, its bright white

exactly sandy, I know the feeling!

3:01 am

Oh, is it etui today? I should have taken a photograph of my collection, all well-worn, of course...

I don't think you saw the directions I mean, zesty. I'll repeat them here:
An etui (also spelt etwee) is a woman's ornamental case, usually carried in a pocket or purse, but some are made to stand on a table. They hold small tools for daily use such as folding scissors, bodkins, needles, hairpins, tweezers, makeup pencils, etc. Some etuis were also used to carry doctors' lancets. These boxes were made of different materials such as wood, leather, ivory, silver, gold, tortoise shell, mother of pearl, and shagreen.
The most common type of decorative box is the feminine work box. It is usually fitted with a tray divided into many small compartments for needles, reels of silk and cotton, and other necessaries for stitchery. The date of its origin is unclear, but 17th-century examples exist, covered with silk and adorned with beads and embroidery. No lady would have been without her work box in the 18th century. In the second half of that century, elaborate pains were taken to make these boxes dainty and elegant.
On the other hand there is another one shown which is a silvery metal and very small -- a flattish tube about 3" (8.5 cm) long x 1Â½" (4.2 cm) wide -- and contains tools for daily use. They include folding scissors, pencil, fork, knife, corkscrew, bodkin, tweezers, ear pick (!), and an ivory writing board. There is a soft leather wrap for it.
Goodnight Zesty, but if you haven't gone, I don't think you saw the directions I gave, so here they are again:

Zesty, in case you haven't left and did see the directions I meant, here they are again:
start with the A in the 2nd row. Then the I below it. Then look up to the right, and then up again over the A.

Haz, how is the glitery one this morning?

3:04 am

She's okay, there'll be no rapid improvement, it could take a week or two. Attending To The Paws...

3:05 am

what's with her paws, Haz?

3:05 am

FMitch

Ahh the most important task of the morning :)

3:05 am

Hope she gets better on the treatment Haz, My sister had her thyroid taken out and is much better now

So do I! It's no fun having to drag a dog.

bbl, time to do some work

3:10 am

FMitch

Bye sandy

3:10 am

Haz1558

lynxxx, apparently the treatment (which will probably be for life) is quite simple and effective. If I'd let her go on, she'd have ended up obese, with hair loss and being even more lethargic.

3:10 am

sprite

night melissa, glad you popped in!

3:10 am

Haz does this mean Spangle will be more springy soon?

3:12 am

Missed saying hi, Haz and FM -- and glad Spangle is on the mend.

3:12 am

jillibus

missed your return too, herin -- sorry!

3:13 am

jillibus

G'night Douglas, and now, *poof*

3:13 am

Haz1558

I hope so, herin, I know she's 9 and isn't going to be as active as she was when she was a puppy, but it will be nice to have her prepared to walk for more than 2 minutes without sitting down.

3:13 am

flosey

getting sleepy again, only picked up 14 words, so off to bed

3:13 am

night flosey!

Good night to all of those leaving.

3:15 am

herinfernallady

That will be good if she gets back to normal Spangle.

3:15 am

sprite

even if she only feels better, it is worth it, Haz

3:15 am

FMitch

There are a few unusual words in the grid again , like the so6/24!

3:15 am

herinfernallady

NOT IF When. Shhesssh stupid cold

3:16 am

FMitch

Feel better soon herin!

3:16 am

*off to find that unusual so6*

3:17 am

Haz1558

We've had it before, but it's been ages.

3:17 am

herinfernallady

thanks fm

3:18 am

herinfernallady

right if that is the case that SO is going to need morewords

3:19 am

Haz1558

The ending is masculine, herin.

3:19 am

Had better go and get dressed got an upholsterer coming round soon to measure for new covers for sitting room furniture. Back in 10.

3:19 am

almost guys with a foot fetish

thanks FM :)

3:19 am

FMitch

LOL sprite!

3:20 am

herinfernallady

o Ta

3:20 am

Haz1558

I bet the uphosterer has an industrial sized etui.

3:20 am

sprite

either that or a huge car

3:22 am

herinfernallady

grin

3:24 am

Haz1558

That's true. Maybe that's what those stretch limos are used for during the day.

3:24 am

sprite

of course! You have such a sharp eye for those things, Haz.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Glamour machines by night, furniture shifters by day. It's a good use of resources.

3:27 am

FMitch

Hate to burst the bubble but he is not taking the furniture awaybut will make a mock up cover and then take that back to the workshop and recreate it in the chosen fabric.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Spoilsport.

3:28 am

FMitch

sorry :)

3:28 am

sprite

if I cannot tell the difference, I will not mind

3:29 am

FMitch

He is going to be for about 2 hours and I am planning on using that time in the garden before the day gets too warm.

3:29 am

herinfernallady

Ok question. If an advert had a man with 2 girls advertising tools and then slaps them on the butt as they walk passed would that be deemed sexist and taken off tv?

3:29 am

Haz1558

And have you chosen the fabric already, FM?

3:29 am

sprite

where is Ata, btw? She will love to see that 'acri' is in the grid.

3:29 am

sprite

do the ladies object, lady?

3:29 am

FMitch

Yes Haz, a very pale cream with a slight same colour pattern.

3:30 am

Haz1558

I don't know, herin. It seems to be entirely acceptable to depict men as complete idiots. Women are a different matter.

3:30 am

FMitch

Ata is away for 2 weeks.

3:30 am

herinfernallady

no but the point is if this was the reverse of the ad I just saw at 630pm I am sure it would be taken off tv.

3:30 am

sprite

sounds lovely, FM.

3:30 am

FMitch

Herin I think here in the UK an ad like that would be allowed.

3:31 am

Haz1558

We have an advert for oven cleaner 'So simple, even a man could use it'.

3:31 am

sprite

here it wouldn't be a problem, though it wouldn't be a success.

3:31 am

herinfernallady

aO and there is a car ad that has a man oglying at a lass wearing short shorts and the comment is ''You catch the bus because you like the view'' sigh

3:31 am

sprite

lolllllllll Haz really? Now that is sexistical...

3:32 am

Haz1558

It annoys me, to be honest, because time and time again, men are depicted as being morons. I know it's a reaction against women being depicted as dumb and for decoration only, but two wrongs don't make it right.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

I would like to say that even the instructions would have to be man proof. They can't even check the bread ties to see if the bread is funky BEFORE it leaves the store

3:33 am

sprite

indeed. Things would be so much more pleasant if we just could all agree that men and women aren't the same, but are equals.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Instructions? You expect instructions to be read? That goes against the desire to experiment and explore.

3:34 am

herinfernallady

Haz you would love this advert for Foxtel that has a man being typically sexist 'woman likes the cooking channel and there is the sports'' Cuts to him pulling a cake out of the oven that he just made and her yelling about getting her a drink

3:34 am

FMitch

Men dont read instructions or maps!

3:34 am

sprite

they like figuring things out for themselves. And shouldn't things be self explanatory anyway?

3:35 am

FMitch

Maybe thats why men invented satnav so they could ignore a woman telling them what to do *grin*

3:35 am

FMitch

Anyway must go for now, catch up later.

3:35 am

Haz1558

Bye FM. Have a good day.

3:35 am

herinfernallady

To be far my mother doesn't read bread tags either

3:35 am

sprite

male and femaile brains don't work exactly in the same way. Once you know, you can benefit from the knowledge :)

3:36 am

sprite

bye FM, hope the upholstery will come out lovely

3:36 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, sprite, and thank goodness for it.

3:36 am

sprite

*female

3:37 am

sprite

it always makes me smile when my love says: "I have really looked for my pen/book/etc. Could you please find it for me now?"

3:38 am

herinfernallady

awww

3:38 am

sprite

he claims he can look for things very very well, it is just that he cannot find stuff ;)

3:38 am

herinfernallady

Mum used to say ''don't make me get up and find it'

3:39 am

Haz1558

It's more likely to be the other way round in our house. Husband is tidy to a fault and will remember where he put something a year ago. Unless I've shifted it in the meantime, of course!

3:41 am

sprite

hehehe Haz, nice image. Actually, the concept of 'male' and 'female' brains is rather flexible. Some women have brains that work in a more 'male' way and vice versa.

3:42 am

Haz1558

My sister-in-law is a science teacher in a secondary school. At first she taught only girls then, about ten years ago, boys joined the school. She sees a vast difference in the way they behave and need to be taught.

3:43 am

Haz1558

If you say to the girls, 'This is dangerous, you must stand back', the girls stand back. The boys surge forward, trying to get as close to the action as possible.

3:43 am

Haz1558

If you say 'Don't turn the controls beyond 5, the apparatus will be damaged', the girls won't turn it up beyond 3. The boys will have it up beyond 5 just to test and see if the warning was correct.

3:44 am

sprite

it is exactly like that here with my boy and girl.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

I would do taht Haz

3:44 am

Haz1558

She's found it quite interesting, but frustrating at the same time.

3:45 am

herinfernallady

I would be the one taht would go and see if it would explode

3:46 am

sprite

I can imagine. Having a mixed class means you cannot satisfy both at the same time. Not easy.

3:47 am

herinfernallady

See I am the kind of person that has to turn the Iron to 5 to see what happens. Then again what is an iron

3:47 am

sprite

pushing the limits, huh lady ;)

3:47 am

Haz1558

But she does like the way the boys have their arguments but get over them quickly instead of the girls who brood and fret and keep arguments going for weeks.

3:48 am

Haz1558

PHone...

3:48 am

herinfernallady

I much rather like teh way boys deal with things. Snot each other then shake hands and get on with it. Girls just bitch and carrier on

3:50 am

Haz1558

Exactly. Girls divide up and take sides and perpetuate the hurt, boys get it out of their system and carry on.

3:50 am

sprite

yep, very different. I also see a huge difference in how my boy and girl are acting up in puberty now. My son is moody, rude and tests our patience with his disobedience. My girl is emotional, manipulative and cannot stand any criticism.

3:51 am

Haz1558

That sounds normal, sprite.

3:51 am

Haz1558

They will both come through eventually, but it's a bit of a test of patience all round.

3:52 am

sprite

oh yes, I know it is. Just watching them being so very different.

3:52 am

herinfernallady

I was both

3:53 am

Haz1558

My only advice is to choose your fights but stand firm when it's important. They will thank you for it eventually.

3:53 am

sprite

I kind of like it. Not all the time, of course. But seeing them wrestle with all those hormones and testing all boundaries... I don't know, it is heroic too. And they are still lovely people, in between.

3:53 am

Haz1558

When they're about 30 and have seen sense...

3:54 am

sprite

thanks, that is good advice. One thing I have had to learn in general was to pick my battles. Will remember to do so more with my children now, indeed.

3:54 am

Haz1558

In the meantime, just get used to being someone who knows nothing, who understands less and who was never young.

3:54 am

sprite

*grins* ...have seen sense fly by

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Ok who made up one of those 8s

3:56 am

sprite

it's funny, but I can see that standing firm sometimes relaxes my son. I mean, he is mad and angry and slams with the doors and all if we say no. But on the other hand it is like he feels safe when we are clear about a certain boundary.

3:56 am

sprite

I have one and I love it, lady

3:56 am

herinfernallady

I was a door slammer. Nothing beats slamming a door

3:57 am

Haz1558

Absolutely - I think by you imposing the boundary, you excuse him from having to explain why he can't do something that he may not really want to do. 'My parents won't let me' sounds better than 'I don't want to.'

3:59 am

sprite

oh yes, that is true. I had an awful and nonstandard puberty and I love to see how our children are able to do it the 'normal' way. It is a tough battle on one hand, but it is also so very natural on the other.

4:00 am

sprite

lady, I have both 8s. They are both normal words! Want clues?

4:01 am

herinfernallady

I have the RA i need the other

4:01 am

sprite

oh wait, the normal other one is the 9. The ra is weird.
The other 8 is plural small yellow singing bird

4:02 am

Haz1558

Back shortly...

4:02 am

herinfernallady

what does t start with please

4:02 am

4:53 am

dizgrannie

lol gort gw

4:55 am

gortmold

i looked up the so6, and the unenlightening definition is someone who holds socage?!

4:56 am

Brookie

Hi everyone!

4:57 am

gortmold

i can't speak for everyone, but hey brookie!

4:57 am

Brookie

Hi gort! Love your icon... hilarious!

4:57 am

sandyloo

and I was just about to hold socage!

4:58 am

gortmold

what stopped you, sandy?

4:58 am

sandyloo

I didn't know what it was!

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

socage: a tenure of land held by the tenant in performance of specified services or by payment of rent, and not requiring military service.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

So now you know :-)

5:00 am

gortmold

well technically, i hold socage, but i'm telling you, i don't hold it lightly

5:00 am

gortmold

thank goodness my bank hasn't asked me to go to war, just to stay on my land

5:01 am

sandyloo

thanks for that sally

5:01 am

gortmold

but the day may be coming; last i heard, queensland had been bought out by the chinese

5:01 am

sandyloo

and wa too , gort '\

5:01 am

gortmold

shall we just plant bamboo and hope they don't try to stake their claim?

5:02 am

o-o

Socage must be the top of the line tenancy if you do not have to go to war.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

I suppose it's what we would call a tied tenancy, happens a lot on farms.

5:03 am

Brookie

(Feeling way too unintelligent to participate in this witty chog.)

5:04 am

gortmold

well whaddayaknow, an se5/10 is basically a caravan park?!

5:04 am

o-o

How are the ties broken?

5:05 am

gortmold

pair of scissors, usually does the job :)

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

The accommodation goes with the job so if they leave, they have to find somewhere else to live :-)

5:06 am

o-o

Socage (pronounced /ËˆsÉ’kÉ¨dÊ’/[1]) was one of the feudal duties and hence land tenure forms in the feudal system. A farmer, for example, held the land in exchange for a clearly-defined, fixed payment to be made at specified intervals to his feudal lord, who in turn had his own feudal obligations, to the farmer and to the Crown. In theory this might involve supplying the lord with produce but most usually it meant a straightforward payment of cash, i.e., rent.

In this respect it contrasted with other forms of tenure including serjeanty (the farmer paid no rent but had to perform some personal/official service on behalf of his lord, including in times of war) and frankalmoin (some form of religious service). For those higher up the feudal pyramid, there was also knight-service (military service) as a condition of land tenure.

The English statute Quia Emptores of Edward I (1290) established that socage tenure passed automatically from one generation to the next (unlike leases). As feudalism declined, socage tenure increased until it became the normal form of tenure in the Kingdom of England. In 1660, the Statute of Tenures ended the remaining forms of military service and all free tenures were converted into socage.

The holder of a soc or socage tenure was referred to as a socager (Anglo-Norman) or socman (Anglo-Saxon).

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

I think BR has trumped my definition :-)

5:08 am

gortmold

i think it's what you call a chog-stopper ;)

5:09 am

Your definition was very accurate

5:10 am

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

I like this word: sorbable: to gather on a surface either by absorption, adsorption, or a combination of the two processes (sounds like the chog to me)

the world here has changed overnight. Yesterday I had tulips and a spring garden. This morning I have a foot of snow. Hmmmm. Wonder what will emerge when the snoe melts

6:01 am

Sally-catlover

Sure we've had it before, but not for a while perhaps.

6:01 am

bichon

6:01 am

ZeStY421

Sally-catlover

Oh Eva, that's sad, just when you are thinking of Spring.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I finally got that ra8. TY. Hi Eva + Bichon.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

That's a lot of snow for spring. We had a dusting last week.

6:02 am

Eva

yes, but not that unusual for here-although this is a lot. Very fluffy though and probably won't hang around for long.

6:03 am

Eva

ra8? Any hints for the snow on the brain impaired?

6:03 am

bichon

a grid with s's and e's together

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Zesty, I have raised house rabbits since 1983 and currently have 4 darling bunnies.

6:03 am

ZeStY421

THAT's sad??? you guys must not like me at all geez, i lost 3 baby bunnies in PIECES! aw scrab, thats so great, that makes me happy

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Just clued it Eva

6:03 am

ZeStY421

ZeStY421

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

Just hope she doesn't confuse her patients with the bunnies :-)

6:06 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies each have their own bedroom too. They have wonderful lives. I wish I could rescue more bunnies.

6:06 am

ZeStY421

lmao sally

6:07 am

ZeStY421

that would be an interesting cross hybrid breeding experiment

6:07 am

bichon

my dog has to share a bedroom with us. He is so deprived

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Bunnies are easier to handle than many of my beastly toddlers that kick, grab, hit, bite...

6:07 am

ZeStY421

lol, my dog is 16.5 and spoiled

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I share a bedroom with bitty Sebastian, my Netherland Dwarf.

6:08 am

ZeStY421

im not sure what that means scrab lol

6:08 am

Eva

is the ha9 a compound?

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

I take it that's a breed or rabbit and not a description of your partner, scrabs :-)

6:08 am

Merk

ca 8 clue please

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

It's hu 9, and not a compound Eva

6:09 am

Eva

little singing birds merk

6:09 am

Haz1558

It's an hu9, Eva, and no. Think dramatic weather.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

ca8 little yellow birds

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Sally. Yes, a rabbit breed--the smallest. He is not even 3 lbs.

6:09 am

Eva

thanks haz!

6:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

6:09 am

Merk

ah, ty

6:10 am

Scrabbler

TY for ca and hu clues. Hi Haz--you snuck in!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Hi Merk.

6:10 am

Haz1558

I know. It keeps you on your toes.

6:11 am

Merk

Hi, Scrabbler. I'm trying to get my long words finished b4 I have to disconnect and continue traveling. Is there a clue for the other 8 and the 9 please.

6:11 am

Haz1558

hu9 - weather so windy it gets its own name.

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

the 9 is hu 9, think wild winds

6:12 am

Merk

Lovely clue, Haz.

6:12 am

Merk

And the other 8 please.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I already have the word, Haz, but great clue.

6:12 am

Haz1558

ra8/50 - add a singular brother of Aaron to the competitive run.

6:12 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, glad it worked.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Another great clue for a word I have.

6:13 am

Merk

Another marvelous clue, a gift from the gifted.

6:13 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

6:13 am

bichon

How's Spangle doing Haz

6:14 am

Haz1558

She's okay, bichon, not getting worse at least! It'll take a week or two for her to get back to normal.

6:14 am

Merk

Any 7s that you think will stump me while offline?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

What happened to Spangle?

6:15 am

Merk

I see we have another 'ic' grid. That has added a lot of words this week.

6:15 am

Haz1558

Most of the 7s I've found so far are normal, but then I haven't finished...

6:15 am

Haz1558

She's been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Scrabbler.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Phew, at least that is easily treated.

6:16 am

bichon

Yes, you can treat that as opposed to old age

6:16 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, she'll be herself again for which I'll be very grateful.

6:16 am

Merk

that's good

6:16 am

Haz1558

im7 - either the one who enforces a rule or the one who outstays his welcome.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

TY, Haz

6:18 am

Haz1558

No problem.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. BBL

6:19 am

Merk

That clue I did not get, but I'm loving the grid today.

6:19 am

Haz1558

Bye for now, Scrabbler.

6:19 am

Haz1558

im7 - im plus the one who sits for the photographer.

6:20 am

City 17 dweller

em7 - a mall with delusions of grandeur

6:21 am

Merk

I can't open my chat log today; not sure why.

6:21 am

Merk

em 7, also a city in Kansas

6:22 am

Haz1558

That's a nuisance, it's always useful to check on previous clues etc.

6:22 am

City 17 dweller

Is it really? You learn something new, etc...

6:22 am

Haz1558

And how else do you keep tabs on everyone?

6:23 am

Merk

I was going to open it before I disconnect so I could check back. No such luck today. My IE continues to irk me, too.

6:23 am

Merk

Right.

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

I must be off for now. Any clues needed?

6:26 am

Haz1558

See you soon, Sally.

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

Cheers Haz. ((hugs)) to Spangle.

6:27 am

Haz1558

Will do! I'm about to get her ready for a walk, so I'll say cheerio as well.

8:42 am

EvaNadine

The Oxford English Dictionary cites a 1913 reference to the verb gorp, meaning "to eat greedily".
it is most likely a "backronym" -- "a phrase constructed after the fact to make an existing word or words into an acronym."

8:43 am

Judi

lol, backronym.

8:43 am

EvaNadine

i feel edumacated now. :)

8:43 am

EvaNadine

judi -- i like that term. i may have to put it into more regular use.

9:00 am

I think I deserve the point because I'm not supposed to know these things - Sci-Fi being a closed book and all.

9:00 am

jan

Nice clues, haz and boo. (Now I can stop trying to make weird extensions onto the cheer!)

9:00 am

Boobear

ty

9:00 am

Haz1558

Hello, jan, glad they helped.

9:01 am

Judi

Why is sci-fi a closed book, Haz? All things are possible in sci-fi!

9:01 am

jan

(I'm not supposed to be here--I'm supposed to be getting ready for my last day of classes of the semester...)

9:01 am

Boobear

Hi Jan..Not a very good cluer but glad you got it

9:01 am

9:01 am

crosshair

brb off to the market..semi-poof

9:01 am

Haz1558

Sci-fi is a closed book because I prefer not to open it. I think that's why I don't like it, because all things are possible and my imagination can only stretch so far.

9:02 am

rubyfoo

me, too, haz!

9:02 am

Haz1558

ruby - he had a baby basket named after him (the singular brother of Aaron)

9:03 am

Judi

Not all sci-fi is good. I'll admit that. Some of it is just plain shiite.

9:03 am

rubyfoo

it's OK; I'm just hopeless. At least it's gorgeous weather and I've gotten a lot of gardening done!

9:04 am

EvaNadine

9:04 am

Haz1558

No problem.

EvaNadine

9:04 am

rubyfoo

Judi

I think I'm going to do all white impatiens this year.

9:05 am

rubyfoo

9:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruby.

9:06 am

rubyfoo

I bought some really small geraniums and stuck them in the ground, very pretty, got the idea from a public planting

9:06 am

jan

Impatiens give a lot of bang for the buck. And you never have to deadhead them.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

i send my mom a potted flowering plant every year (so she can transfer it to her garden if she wants to). this year she will be getting gardenias. :)

9:07 am

rubyfoo

I put them in the windowboxes this year because last year the geraniums didn't have enough sun and just grew wonderful leaves!

9:07 am

Riverdance

ruby - bother of aaron parted the sea

9:07 am

rubyfoo

9:21 am

FMitch

Hi ruru!

9:22 am

EvaNadine

well, they handed me what i thought was a copy of the document i already had, with a few notes on it, which i knew were coming.
then, as im flipping through it, i realize that its not the exact same document, its the document with the notes i knew were coming AND some extra additions that no one mentioned when handing it to me.
so now ive gone through it, highlighted all the additions/changes i knew nothing about so now i can go ask about them.

10:14 am

rururocks

make that ra 8

10:14 am

rururocks

I cannot figure the ru.

10:26 am

Haz1558

Well, bigmac, all you need to do is to find the words of four letters and more that appear in the grid over there. The letters need to touch and you can only use them once within a word. If you look at Help above, it gives the rules.

10:35 am

Flask1

hi all......clue for ra8 please?

10:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, Flask. If you've got the competitive run (ra4/5) add most of Aaron or Miriam's brother.

10:37 am

Flask1

Haz Ive tried that but it not working..

10:38 am

Haz1558

The run and the first four letters of the name?

10:39 am

Flask1

lmao......I was putting both pieces the wrong way around!!!

10:39 am

Haz1558

ra8 - the run and what a rolling stone does not gather, changing one s for a vowel.

10:39 am

Haz1558

That will definitely not work!

10:40 am

Flask1

mmm.....yer right!!!

10:42 am

Haz1558

Make the ending the one that makes a plural of y.

10:46 am

Mom

duh!!!! I was trying to spell it like they sing it on the song. **slap, slap, slap**

10:46 am

Mom

thank you Haz

10:46 am

Haz1558

Enough slapping!

10:47 am

Haz1558

No problem.

10:47 am

Mom

needed some sense knocked into me

10:47 am

Haz1558

You've always struck me as being remarkably sensible already...

10:48 am

Mom

lol, I try but these last few days, I question myself

10:48 am

Haz1558

Right, I must be sensible as well and take a break. I've been doing this with one eye on family history research and I'm awash with names and dates. Some fresh air will help.

10:49 am

Mom

yes, fresh air always helps. Good to see you

10:49 am

4:18 pm

Aloyisius

hi lynxxx!

4:21 pm

Aloyisius

grumble, grumble, must have been half asleep this am.. missed some fishies!

4:22 pm

lynxxx

well I just found the 9, my only defence is that we don't have them here

4:22 pm

Aloyisius

lots and lots of them here, I'm afraid.. season starts Jun1

4:23 pm

lynxxx

Very scary.

4:24 pm

Aloyisius

indeed.. we are in the town that was wiped out by Charley.. took over two years to get back to some semblance of normalcy.. fortunately our house was built to the newer standards, so just minor damage

4:25 pm

lynxxx

can people even get insurance for it?

4:26 pm

Aloyisius

yes.. but everyone's rates went up ... ins. comp. dropped them so they had to get a state-backed ins.

4:27 pm

Aloyisius

"Citizen's" insurance

4:27 pm

lynxxx

Good that you have such a thing

4:27 pm

Aloyisius

yup, the price for living in "paradise"

4:28 pm

Aloyisius

holy cow, I even missed the genre of Aida

4:29 pm

lynxxx

You are talking about Florida and not Ohio

4:29 pm

Aloyisius

lol, yes! but last year, when I went north and hubby stayed south, ironically.. we had such a bad storm and lost elect. for over a week.. he had no prob.

4:30 pm

Aloyisius

so, ya never know

4:31 pm

Aloyisius

do you ever have severe weather?

4:33 pm

lynxxx

Rarely. Though we had a severe if brief hailstorm a few months ago which did $7M damage. I guess bushfires in Summer are our main problem. Cyclones up in North bringing floods as well

4:38 pm

Aloyisius

??? my reply to you must have been lost in cyberspace.. sorry

4:40 pm

Aloyisius

I was just commenting that I don't think there is any "ideal" place to live minus some kind of weather threat or sunami or earthquake, etc..

morning NB

4:41 pm

lynxxx

We have certainly all had our share of natural disasters over the last few years. It has to be connected to Global Warming surely

4:41 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi Aloy, Lynx! I'm so tired that to say "morning" just sounds completely bizarre ;)

4:42 pm

Aloyisius

hard day at work, NB?

4:44 pm

Aloyisius

yup, I was definitely not with it this am, missed the hangman's noose too

4:44 pm

Nancy Boy

not really Aloy, that's the strangest thing! Today was the shortest shift I have (I'm a house-husband on Wednesdays ;)) but it's completely tuckered me out. I must be getting old!

4:44 pm

lynxxx

oh sure!

4:44 pm

Aloyisius

maybe your biorhythm is on the low part of its cycle.. tomorrow will be better

4:45 pm

Nancy Boy

probably, Aloy - maybe my body just adjusting the change in diet. I've spent my entire 19 years as a ball of energy and I don't intend to stop now! :)

4:46 pm

lynxxx

With both day and night shifts your body just can't get into a routine.

4:46 pm

Aloyisius

what did you change in your diet?

4:46 pm

lynxxx

change in diet? from your mothers cooking?

4:47 pm

Nancy Boy

true that, Lynx - and lol, no! I recently went back to veganism - still eating healthily but body must get used to the lack of meat and dairy. Though personally I don't miss it

4:48 pm

Aloyisius

try some B vitamins

4:48 pm

lynxxx

keep your iron intake up too Nancy - you live a fast life

4:49 pm

Aloyisius

right, no iron deficiency anemia for NB

4:49 pm

lynxxx

4:50 pm

Nancy Boy

thanks, ladies - will do both of those things. but you'll have to blame yourselves when I'm newly pepped-up and talking a mile a minute on the chat, not letting anyone else get a word in edgeways ;)

4:50 pm

I ar5/10 this morning hoping to finish the grid.Sometimes I can't co4/6 with the grid So4/5 puzzles make me want to pull out all my ha4/5. Other times my brain gets very so 4/4 from thinking too hard.However, this puzzle is not too bad. I don't like to im 6/24 on babblers by begging for clues. So if the puzzle is hard,I just hi4/5 some monkeys to help Some4/5times the monkey becomes a cr 5/12 and cr 5/12. Or my monkey becomes a mo5/14 and mo 5/14 around doing nothing.Or the monkeys act like im4/6 and they refuse to help which ir 4/4 me mo 4/5 than anything. But if my monkeys are helpful they ea 4/4 bananas which I keep ne 4/4 to them. Now I he 4/5 my hubby approaching to use computer. So I'm going to watch my soap op 5/12. I do not ca 4/5 if I finish the grid. It's ra 4/4 for me to get fireworks anyway.
