3:43 am

rubyfoo

I think everybody else is gone

3:43 am

chocomomo

I think so too. what time is it there?

3:44 am

rubyfoo

almost 11AM and I just passed half. It's easier when there are no distractions

3:44 am

chocomomo

I see.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

it took me about 50 minutes to get 197 words

3:44 am

chocomomo

It's 4:44pm in here.. and very quiet..

3:45 am

chocomomo

wow you are so great!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I am terrible, hardly ever finish - like 6 times in a year and a half!

3:46 am

rubyfoo

and then with help from FM and Crossy

3:47 am

chocomomo

no, you are good! I've never finish this yet. well, being a newbie has to be considered. haha

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't list, figuring what's the point, but sometimes there are clues in the chat

3:50 am

Glantarell

bore da - good morning

3:51 am

3:51 am

Glantarell

3:52 am

rubyfoo

if I jot down all your Welsh words, I'll have a vocabulary of at least 40 words, lol

3:52 am

Glantarell

don't forget my favourite - moron=carrot

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I have no idea what the language sounds like, however

3:52 am

Glantarell

i'll have to start writing them down phonetically

3:52 am

chocomomo

hello glanta. :)

3:52 am

rubyfoo

3:54 am

Glantarell

3:55 am

chocomomo

3:55 am

chocomomo

I am from Philippines Glanta.

3:55 am

Glantarell

ah i hvae a friend there in Manila

3:56 am

chocomomo

well, I just don't know how to put the flag beside my name. haha

3:56 am

chocomomo

really? that's nice. :) have you known some tagalog words?

3:56 am

Glantarell

you can only put the flag by your name if you pay a subscription - which is well worth it

3:56 am

Glantarell

i have no knowledge of tagalong

3:57 am

rubyfoo

you two have found a way to drive me crazy: glanta will use Welsh and choco will use tagalog!

3:57 am

chocomomo

yea. I have to pay. duh. I'm just young. haha. No MONEY.. :/ hehe

3:57 am

Glantarell

is that the language spoken in the philippines?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

funny idea

3:57 am

Glantarell

you can always confound us with french Ruby

3:57 am

chocomomo

haha. Babble will then be crazier than ever Ruby!!! haha

3:57 am

rubyfoo

too easy

3:58 am

chocomomo

yep Glanta. :) It's Filipino.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, husband wants his aperitif! he is banging around in the kitchen. Is it cold there glanta? It just got much colder here

3:58 am

Glantarell

yes it's cold

3:58 am

rubyfoo

not too easy to confound you just that French is too easy

3:58 am

Glantarell

i put the heating on for an hour last night

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I think I'll have a hot toddy

3:59 am

Glantarell

which is very unusual for me at this time of year

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad it got cold, it will make the roses and peonies last longer

3:59 am

Glantarell

my peonies look absolutely beautiful

3:59 am

Glantarell

Glantarell

4:18 am

Patxxx

I have a lost corner in my garden to be sorted later when all else is finished. We uprooted a tree and the debris lay on top of the earth until we could get it cut up and shifted. Various bits of machinery were also piled up there. We built an extension very close by. I looked out of my window last Monday and there, in that very corner, were two beautiful peonies just about to open fully. They are a rich deep pink, not scarlet and perfect, only two so far. It didn't just brighten my day it made me think although life IS also sometimes like that - a pile of rubble, given time it can turn into a beautiful time again. I've been smiling all week and it took just Mother Nature's two pink peonies not a Â£2million lottery win. I hope I remember the lesson all my life.

4:19 am

Patxxx

PS You lot cheer me up many a day!

4:19 am

Glantarell

morning Pat - and flowers always cheer me up

4:20 am

Glantarell

as well as the people here

4:20 am

redturtlehead

flowers, esp living ones are wonderful. people too.

4:20 am

ChrissieDee

ty for sharing Pat - beautiful story

4:21 am

Patxxx

Morning Glantarell and all others. I have to go shop shortly - hate supermaket shopping.

4:21 am

Glantarell

i have started having mine delivered

4:21 am

Glantarell

because i hate going to the supermarket

4:22 am

Patxxx

I gave up with online food shopping when Sunday lunch and papers weren't delivered until Monday noon.

4:22 am

Glantarell

i can see that would be a bit of a problem

4:25 am

ChrissieDee

I couldn't have food shopping delivered - love to select my own produce, how could I smell the oranges or feel how fresh the bread is on line :)

4:25 am

Patxxx

I coped foodwise but Sunday papers should be read on Sunday, although I leave parts for later in the week and I threw a right paddy. Like a two year old. Sent myself to bed - great but NO papers!

4:25 am

Glantarell

i smell the oranges when they arrive ;-) and i make my own bread

4:26 am

ChrissieDee

I aspire to make my own bread one day

4:26 am

ChrissieDee

I won't buy the oranges unless they have a good smell - no smell means stale orange to me

4:26 am

Glantarell

it is very easy, just required forward planning as you need to leave it to rise between stages

4:27 am

Patxxx

pleat

4:27 am

Patxxx

pleats

4:27 am

Glantarell

oops pat

4:27 am

Glantarell

there is the pt too

4:28 am

Patxxx

So sorry. I don't chat often because I am soooo stupid. Are there any sunday papers in the bin?

4:28 am

Glantarell

bound to be, along with some chocolate

4:28 am

Patxxx

Do I have to come back out?

4:29 am

Glantarell

i' not quite sure what the riules are ;-)

4:31 am

Glantarell

off for breakfast - bbl

4:33 am

Patxxx

Do you check it regularly in case there are babble squatters in there?

4:59 am

6:42 am

MollyL

6:45 am

MollyL

6:47 am

FMitch

6:49 am

FMitch

wtg, hydra was asking but I think she is deep in the grid.

6:49 am

MollyL

Oops, I must have missed that. Not enough coffee yet I suppose.

6:50 am

MollyL

66 P words kind of made me want to go back to bed. : P

6:51 am

FMitch

it is excessive what ever way you look at it.
Hands Molly coffe and heads towards the kitchen as lunch will be ready shortly. ttfn.

6:53 am

MollyL

Well, I got plenty of good sleep last night. So I have some sausage and biscuits working and I will just chip away at this big one.

6:53 am

hurshy

is that cl9 a compound of the five and something?

6:54 am

hurshy

oh no i see

6:54 am

g'luck, sue!

9:26 am

yeah... in that case I should quit the icon themes. I don't mind doing them, but getting angry people about it isn't my idea of fun. I don't even know what cavalli or capucci is. Both spellings in chog, I see.

9:26 am

sprite

bye uusue, all the best and I hope the treasurer thing works out

mmm bacon

9:29 am

sprite

something about her theme being overruled, which I never would do, and no answer about her theme or which one was overruled. Well, I guess it is capucci, I take it the link was for the theme. I should learn to read minds.

It's not easy to guide someone through adolescence and young adulthood. Then there is the cost of college.

"Swan Song" is a little darker. It's been compared to Stephen King's "The Stand". "Boy's Life" is on the lighter, more home spun side for McCammon.

sc 5 /12 leads me into crossys mid day tidbit of the day... sc5/12ings are from the days of sail. when a schooner was returing after a delivery and had no return cargo,it would be "in ballast" and often it would ballast"tween decks" as it would often handle better than ballasting in the depths of the hold and shifting boards were measured by sc5/12lings and put in pace to stop the ballast from shifting turing tacking:))....

on a more serious note, (hope this doesn't disturb anyone, but it's what I'm dealing with) - my husband's suits - more than 50 - you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find someone who will take them and pass them along to

When my dad died my mom discovered an org that rehabs the homeless. Cleans 'em up and outfits them and then preps them for job interviews. An incredible success rate. They got all of my dad's (many!) suits, ties, shoes & decent shirts.

11:45 am

car.eeyore

I recently just found out that our town hall keeps a closet of suits and business attire in a closet. That way if someone is in need of a suit for a business interview or such, they can come and see if there is one for them.

11:46 am

MollyL

JBV, most places will come to you for donations.

what's Purple Heart? - also, beware of these places that come to pick up bags of clothing - many of them just recycle the fabric as scraps - I don't want that, I want someone to actually be able to wear the suit

Purple Heart and Salvation Army are both good places to donate clothes.

I am off to the kids consignment shop to try to find a pair of pa5 for zach. The poor kid is showing his socks to the world these days! I just don't want to buy him new pa5/jeans before summer as he will outgrow them while he is wearing his shorts!

Well, Car, a frequent cough is not from post-nasal drip. <---not like a faucet dripping so will not cause a frequent cough.

12:04 pm

Bye kids. Be good.

12:04 pm

car.eeyore

Uh oh. What are you thinking scrabs?

12:05 pm

MollyL

I surprised by that. I thought dripping down the back of your throat would cause a cough.

12:05 pm

car.eeyore

me too.

12:06 pm

Scrabbler

Pneumonia or asthma. Recurrent episodes of coughing, especially if at night and with exertion = asthma. Molly, the mucous flows down slowly and infrequently, not like a faucet. PND is a wastebasket excuse for a cough.

12:07 pm

wildcat17

gotta go bbl

12:07 pm

car.eeyore

He started coughing at church and hasn't stopped scrabs. He has had a cold / runny nose for a week or so.

12:07 pm

car.eeyore

He is sitting up, walking around, eating and drinking, but still hacking.

12:07 pm

car.eeyore

Bye Wild.

12:07 pm

MollyL

Ah, I did not read far enough back in the chat. I didn't realize it was cough with exertion. I was thinking scratchy, irritated cough.

12:08 pm

car.eeyore

It is a scratchy, irritated cough.

12:09 pm

car.eeyore

Then when he runs around, like into the other room to grab something, he coughs too.

12:09 pm

MollyL

Okay, it's a terminology mix up then. To me, hacking = harsh, raspy, bringing up stuff cough. Just a byproduct of communication by typing. : )

12:09 pm

car.eeyore

I am so confused!

Scrabs, isn't coughing caused by movement associated with asthma?

DR1965

I think Scrabs left :(

12:11 pm

car.eeyore

You can do it!

12:11 pm

car.eeyore

I shouldn't have said anything. I hate to bother her on her day off!

Exertion worsens an asthma cough. Gotta go, net book battery is about to die. ((Zach))

well, I am NOT the church treasurer. Whew!

1:56 pm

car.eeyore

Hi uusue! Dodged that bullet!

1:56 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah Sue, that's all you needed after just being done with all the grading.

1:57 pm

EvaNadine

thankfully (for my thighs) i am taking most of these cookies to work for a coworkers bday.
thankfully (for my tastebuds) i will be keeping a few here at home. ;)

1:57 pm

uusue2

I had a moment of pique at having lost the election but then reminded myself that if I'd really wanted the position I would have given a MUCH better speech :-)

1:57 pm

MollyL

In the words of the memorable Rhoda Morgenstern..."I don't know why I'm eating this chocolate. I should just apply it directly to my hips."

1:58 pm

MollyL

Sue

1:58 pm

uusue2

exactly, molly, although I thought it was Erma Bombeck (not that we haven't all thought of that!)

1:58 pm

car.eeyore

Do you remember the episode she found out she was allergic to cottage cheese?!?!? I love that one!

1:58 pm

bichon

I remember Rhoda Morgenstern and his sister Brenda

1:58 pm

MollyL

Sue's subconscious triumphs.

1:58 pm

uusue2

it often does, Molly :-)

1:59 pm

MollyL

That was classic TV Car. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

1:59 pm

uusue2

<--- has no idea who Rhoda Morgenstern is

1:59 pm

MollyL

Mary Tyler Moore's side kick on her show.

1:59 pm

car.eeyore

Mary Tyler Moore was still my favorite. My family quotes that show constantly!

1:59 pm

uusue2

ah. never really watched it (there were several decades where I didn't watch much tv)

2:00 pm

Bugsaw

"You have spunk Mary. I hate spunk"

I can still get in tears laughing watching the Chuckles the Clown funeral episode. Great stuff.

I remember the Dick Van Dyke show

2:01 pm

EvaNadine

hints for the bottom-left T?

2:01 pm

car.eeyore

Murray had the best lines, though. Ted was such a putz...but I loved him! And god bless Betty White!

2:01 pm

uusue2

it has just occurred to me that I don't really have anything to do! good heavens!

2:01 pm

car.eeyore

I watched Dick Van Dyke, but, again, Mary Tyler Moore was the best part!

2:01 pm

car.eeyore

Nice uusue!

2:01 pm

Yup!

Number after nine + Ave Mar** then latin plural.

nope, thats not bottom-left...

Yeah Eva!

2:06 pm

MollyL

Is octopus appendage the other one?

2:06 pm

car.eeyore

Yes

2:06 pm

bichon

I need a 9 for the NBS, anyone?

2:06 pm

uusue2

it is, molly, thank you!!!

2:06 pm

Trifioso

sounds like a good opportunity for you to beat it, car. wanna come hang here?

2:07 pm

MollyL

BIch...not dirty + one who doesn't tell the truth, misspelled.

2:07 pm

car.eeyore

I have some typing to do. I really don't like to leave him in the house "unattended"

2:07 pm

uusue2

ooh, thx again molly, now nbs!

2:07 pm

car.eeyore

TY Molly!

2:08 pm

MollyL

I have strenuous objection to that 9.

2:08 pm

bichon

tyvm Molly

2:08 pm

Trifioso

I agree molly, that 9 is ridiculous. I can't find a way to use it in a sentence, even

2:09 pm

uusue2

my cat is cl9 than my dog.

2:09 pm

uusue2

(not that that is a sentence I would ever utter even if true)

2:10 pm

Trifioso

that doesn't really work, uusue. It would just use the =er ending

2:10 pm

uusue2

no - at any given moment my dog may be cl5er than my cat (especially if the dog has just had a bath), but my cat has cl9 habits. (I think that is correct usage)

2:11 pm

car.eeyore

Its a stoopid word.

2:11 pm

car.eeyore

right up there with nonhero from yesterday.

2:11 pm

Trifioso

I see what you are saying, but I would still say "My cat has cl5er habits than my dog"

2:11 pm

Bugsaw

I agree car!

2:12 pm

uusue2

The cat has just pointed out that she is better than the dog in every possible way.

2:12 pm

car.eeyore

That what ca4 are supposed to do!

2:12 pm

car.eeyore

Ty Bugsaw!

2:13 pm

Trifioso

I would appreciate a clue for the lone e in the right had column

2:13 pm

rastapopolous

the little knife cut cl9 than the big one.....?

2:13 pm

car.eeyore

eo 6....eo + king of the jungle but with a different second vowel (TY again Haz)

2:13 pm

rastapopolous

That being said, apparently the OED doesn't recognize it s a word. O, Enable!

2:14 pm

Trifioso

eotarzan?

2:14 pm

uusue2

eo + letters of la4/4 scrambled, often spelled with an a at the beginning, means of the air (such as an eo**** harp)

2:14 pm

Trifioso

just kidding, I got it. thanks car, I have seen that one before, but always forget it

2:15 pm

car.eeyore

No....eogeorge!

2:15 pm

car.eeyore

Ooh! Finished the N's!

2:15 pm

uusue2

yay, car!

2:16 pm

car.eeyore

I didn't even mean to! It just happened!

2:17 pm

MollyL

Try all you want folks. No one who speaks the English language is going to convince me that cl9 is a word.

2:18 pm

rastapopolous

It does seem like you should say "more cl***ly" - like the discussion we had about impiest vs more more impish

2:18 pm

bichon

hint for it Molly

2:20 pm

car.eeyore

Less than 100 to go!

2:20 pm

car.eeyore

Bichon, do you want a hint for it?

2:21 pm

uusue2

I agree, rasta (and I wasn't trying to defend the word, was just trying to use it in a sentence)

2:21 pm

bichon

yes, please

2:21 pm

car.eeyore

Molly's clue from before was not dirty (cl5) + one who does not tell the truth, but spelled a bit oddly.

2:21 pm

car.eeyore

The cat made her do it!

2:22 pm

rastapopolous

I used it in a sentence at 2:13, sue

2:22 pm

bichon

wait, I have the cl 9. What is the other one?

2:23 pm

uusue2

yes, and I used it at 2:09 and 2:10, rasta, it still seems like an awkward usage.

2:23 pm

DTins

li9/54

2:23 pm

rastapopolous

Oh, I agree, bad word.

2:24 pm

uusue2

The cat is still annoyed by it.

2:25 pm

Trifioso

five more minutes, and then I am going back to my housework....kick me off guys, have my back, okay?

2:26 pm

car.eeyore

Mt. Washmore is calling me, so I will do.

2:26 pm

uusue2

gotcha, trif, 5 minutes :-)

2:26 pm

rastapopolous

but given that ti's a non-word, I think you've used it wrong in your sentences, because it's a comparative of an adverb, not an adjective, so it needs to modify a verb.....

2:26 pm

uusue2

no wonder the cat is complaining :-)

2:27 pm

car.eeyore

My head hurts from all this grammar!

2:27 pm

car.eeyore

Clue please for OL 5/10?

2:28 pm

bichon

don't have it, sorry. Will look

2:30 pm

Trifioso

times up for this happy babbler. Have a cl9 day friends!

a wolf,s howl does not echo...When hunting in packs, wolves use different howls to communicate with one another. Because echoes can distort communication, a wolf's howl does not produce an echo, even when emitted in a valley surrounded by mountains.

7:53 pm

Mom

Hi Welki

7:57 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

7:57 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

7:57 pm

Mom

good evening Min. I am well, how are you?

7:58 pm

Minveryork

I'm well. I am about to give up on this bugger of a grid

7:58 pm

Mom

7:59 pm

Mom

with 182 left I will say my goodbyes. ((Hugs)) to all of you

7:59 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Mom! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

7:59 pm

Mom

Good night Min, have a great day tomorrow

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

GN Mom.

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I figure I can fing some of the 4 letter ords still, as I have 209 left!

8:05 pm

dcseain

yay food

8:05 pm

dcseain

i have 210, red. good evening

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Dc.

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

How are you?

8:06 pm

dcseain

i'm pretty well, thanks. And you?

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

I'm hanging in there, having the hip surgery In 2 weeks. Not very happy about it.

8:07 pm

dcseain

oh dear. Bone shaving, joint coating...?

8:08 pm

redturtlehead

Rimming of the misshaped acetabulum, and labral repair. No training for 18 months. Sad Panda. But I will be swimming.

8:08 pm

dcseain

oh, my. Hope it goes well. Do keep up on PT

8:09 pm

dcseain

you'll be able to run again?

8:09 pm

redturtlehead

Apparently I will be able to run again, but nothing big for about 2 years, we will see. I think I can get doing better by 10 months.

8:10 pm

dcseain

may it be so

8:10 pm

dcseain

huge changes. Pain issues brought this on?

8:11 pm

JenMO16

yeah! i got 200 words!

8:11 pm

dcseain

go, go jenmo!

8:11 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, That and some weakness noted by my coach, I can't straight lift up my left leg if I am laying flat. that seemed off, so I saw the ortho and he noted my xray had an "alpha angle"

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

Whoooo HOOOO Jen!!!!!

8:12 pm

JenMO16

thanks, dc and red!

8:12 pm

dcseain

bummer. Nice that you had coach to provide add'l guidance

8:13 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, now If I can somehow surmount the depression, I think I can handle it. next month is going to be awful.

8:14 pm

dcseain

yes next month will be awful. Hip procedures leave you way out of commission. :/ You are young for such procedure, so excellent prognosis for recovery

8:15 pm

redturtlehead

thanks DC. I'll be glad when the surgeon does his part so I can get started on my part! For now, I am just in some pain and very very irritable, making everyone at work really hate me.

8:15 pm

redturtlehead

How is Tom doing?

8:16 pm

dcseain

He was most of the way to getting listed for heart transplant in Richmond, when his insurance company informed him that VCU is not covered, but Hopkins is, 5 months into the screening.

8:16 pm

dcseain

so, he's steeling himself to start the process over again in Baltimore.

8:16 pm

redturtlehead

Ooooh Really annoying, and why would they not do it at the beginning. :(

8:16 pm

dcseain

he was in a bit of a funk because of that.

8:17 pm

redturtlehead

If you need any Help IN Baltimore, my cousin lives there, she's awesome...

8:17 pm

dcseain

yeah, we wondered the same thing. The concept that VCU Medical Center, the largest teaching hospital and program in Virginia would not be covered never occurred to us.

8:17 pm

dcseain

thanks, red, i'll keep that in mind. Baltimore is happily only an hour away.

8:18 pm

redturtlehead

She does not drive, has MS, but if you needed a place to be "Out of the hospital" she will feed you some nice gluten free food.

8:18 pm

dcseain

thanks for the offer :)

8:19 pm

dcseain

i am eating glutinous food as we 'speak' :)

8:19 pm

redturtlehead

LOL, I maybe should not offer up my cousin and her family so freely!!

8:20 pm

dcseain

i know tons of peeps in Baltimore area, so when time comes, i'm not too worried.

8:20 pm

redturtlehead

I am still using Hoisin sauce on multiple things Seain, thanks for that instruction.

8:21 pm

dcseain

cool. You should check out Soy Sauce Paste -- it's a thicker, richer form of soy sauce. In real Chinese restaurants they give the paste form with egg rolls, at it sticks to the egg roll.

8:22 pm

redturtlehead

I think it would be great on some salmons. I usually have better luck with Caribean and latino foods...

8:22 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh. 201. words.

8:26 pm

jesdraggon

evening, all. back for the last *choke* 188 words.

8:26 pm

redturtlehead

going to nap, may be back later when in plain sight is on!

8:28 pm

dcseain

rest well, red

8:28 pm

dcseain

hiya, jes

8:28 pm

dcseain

i have 192 left to go

8:29 pm

jesdraggon

how goes, dc?

8:29 pm

dcseain

pretty well, and you?

8:29 pm

jesdraggon

spent most of the day at work; just got home, brought work with me.

8:30 pm

jesdraggon

but at least the calf's leg wasn't broken, and the kitten hasn't died (yet?)

8:35 pm

dcseain

oh, great news about the leg, and may the kitten pull through.

8:36 pm

jesdraggon

i hope so. it's in a box on my kitchen counter on a heater right now. will probably be up with it every couple hours all night. at least it's small enough to bring home and i don't have to drive back to the clinic every couple hours

8:38 pm

dcseain

ah, premie, or just abandoned young?

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

mother died

8:38 pm

jesdraggon

it's about 3 days old, probably has aspiration pneumonia from improper positioning when the owner was feeding it.

8:39 pm

dcseain

oh, my.

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

may have immune issues "helping" if it didn't get colostrum from mom. Owner doesn't know; says she found dead cat and newborn kittens together, no idea what happened.

8:41 pm

dcseain

The other day, out for a walk with my baby niece, i saw a cat with something across the street. Suddenly, a rabbit streaked in front of me and across the street. The cat looked at it, picked up what it had.

8:41 pm

dcseain

then walked off with baby rabbit. I bet the adult one was its mother. Nature at work.

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

yup. rabbits are yummy... a lot easier that way than the reverse though; if the cat'd caught the adult rabbit, the whole litter would starve. this way, the doe can take care of any that are left, and have another batch.

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

nature is not terribly kind.

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews
/8479391/Calling-animals-pets-is-insul
ting-academics-claim.html Despite what certain academics and animal rights activists seem to think...

8:44 pm

dcseain

good point. the youngins are much easier prey, of course.

8:45 pm

dcseain

sigh. That academic POV seems a little over the top to me.

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

I about died when I read the objections to the use of the "wild"

8:47 pm

dcseain

same here. I mean, really.

8:50 pm

jesdraggon

i think these people could benefit from some time spent working at a wildlife rehab; maybe they'd understand that wild is exactly the correct word to use, BECAUSE it means uncivilised, unrestrained.

8:52 pm

inge

cAN ANYONE CLUE pl 6 . 21 FOR ME????

8:53 pm

dcseain

8:53 pm

jesdraggon

pl6/21 is is plural of 5/12 it bothered me so i filed a compl****

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

pl6/21 is creases in a skirt

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

pl6/21 means maleable, agreeable, often used with the prefix "com"

8:55 pm

dcseain

9:11 pm

mkg

li 9 54 and cl 9 60. on starts with what you have for a kitchen floor, and other is a weird word i never heard. from the cl 5 12 opposite of dirty, and then a weird ending i dont believe is english.

9:12 pm

mkg

any clues for the T words (2 of them) for the T in second column other the other T? i cant get it.

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

penalty box for red

9:13 pm

mkg

i just cant get the t words. gee.............

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

the cl9 is a real word; means having the quality of being more tidy

9:14 pm

mkg

weird word.

9:15 pm

mkg

why not just say cl***er?

9:15 pm

jesdraggon

because that means that something is tidier. the cl9 means a person with the habit of being tidier.

9:16 pm

dcseain

if you'd done that in a cl9 manner, you'd have less mess

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

the room is cl5, the keeper of the room is cl5ly

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

they are related, but not the same meaning.

9:18 pm

mkg

i broke half way!!!!!!!!!!!! i have 196 words and 195 left and off to sleep.

9:18 pm

mkg

night all.

9:22 pm

dcseain

my siamese-if-you-don't-please is being her usual charming self, laying on me purring, and periodically trying to pull my glasses off because the ear pieces look like twigs so she can chew on them.

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

cute :) my elderly tabby is sitting in the window sill, watching the rain.

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

ugh. not liking the e words.

9:25 pm

dcseain

it's been mostly raining here for over a month. I spent most of April in WA, OR, and CA, while getting constant flood and tornado warning for home. Very exciting. I was hoping that tonight's storms brought no more tornados

9:26 pm

mrpresident

morning all :)

9:26 pm

dcseain

good morning, mrp :) foot doing okay?

9:26 pm

jesdraggon

heh. we're "flooding". i always laugh about the flood warnings and people fussing here... it amounts to the shallow creek in the park coming over into some of the grass. i suppose technically it's flooded, but...

9:26 pm

jesdraggon

it's not like it's covering the roads or doing any damage or presenting any danger.

9:27 pm

mrpresident

looking great dcs! only ran on it for 6 hours this weekend, but had good support and am now booted up and bedded

9:27 pm

lbdawger

(((MRP))) hi everyone!

9:27 pm

jesdraggon

howdy, mrp :)

9:27 pm

mrpresident

(((dawg))) !!!

9:27 pm

mrpresident

hi jes! **hugs**

9:27 pm

dcseain

here, the river flooded Georgetown part of DC, Alexandria, VA, and scores of roads have been closed off and on.

9:27 pm

dcseain

evening, dawg

9:27 pm

dcseain

glad to hear it's doing well, mrp :)

9:28 pm

lbdawger

hi DC hi Jes

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

hi dawg

9:29 pm

lbdawger

don't fall off any more wobbly bridges and make lickety chase the chickens!

9:29 pm

dcseain

an EF0 tornado hit part of my neighborhood two weeks ago, brought down several score trees. Happily no injuries, deaths, nor significant building damage.

9:29 pm

mrpresident

you guys are not having weather fun!!

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

efo?

9:30 pm

lbdawger

you all have had some pretty rough weather this last month or so, DC

9:30 pm

lbdawger

EF zero

9:30 pm

dcseain

Enhanced Fujita Scale Zero

9:30 pm

dcseain

Happily, nothing compared to Alabama

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

not familiar with it, sorry.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

tornado rankings of how fast the winds are blowing to make the tornado and how much damage it causes, jes

9:31 pm

terri1

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well.

9:32 pm

lbdawger

hi terri

9:32 pm

mrpresident

hi terri :)

9:32 pm

dcseain

the scale goes from EF zero to EF five

9:32 pm

dcseain

evening, terri

9:32 pm

jesdraggon

glad it was minimal damage, dc. we don't get many tornadoes here... had one last year about 30 miles south of here and it was a huge shock to everybody there.

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

we mostly just get wind and lightning storms. and snow in the winter.

9:34 pm

dcseain

i got to see some of the damage from the straight-line winds of '09 in Washington while driving up US 101. Wow, i knew that straight-line winds were dangerous and did damage, but i had no real idea of the scale. Amazing.

9:34 pm

lbdawger

we dont' have the right conditions for tornado's Jes. not that they can't happen, just not as likely as in the flats.

9:34 pm

dcseain

here is not flat, but we still get them.

9:34 pm

mrpresident

terri and I found a baby black kitten! we have adopted it and terri is taking it home to her son tonight. He is going to love it!!

9:34 pm

jesdraggon

a friend of mine was hit by a tree about 3 years ago during a wind storm.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

well, DC gets the heat island effects for tornados.

9:35 pm

dcseain

wonderful, mrp :) So terri, you're in Australia, too?

9:35 pm

terri1

So cute, this kitty!

9:35 pm

mcurlschool

dc--I live in that wind damaged area!

9:35 pm

terri1

Yep I'm an Aussie.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, glad the kitten found a loving home!

9:35 pm

dcseain

that must have been a terrifying time, mccurl

9:35 pm

jesdraggon

put trees down across the power lines and roads; totaled his truck and very nearly him.

9:36 pm

mcurlschool

it was kind of spooky

9:36 pm

dcseain

glad he came out okay, jes.

9:36 pm

jesdraggon

took the end of his nose off. that's a mighty close call, right there.

9:36 pm

dcseain

i'm glad you and yours came out okay from those winds, too, mccurl

9:36 pm

lbdawger

mother nature can have some real hair raising experiences in her bag of tricks.

9:36 pm

mrpresident

being hit by a tree would be too frightening!

9:37 pm

terri1

I live about 20 mins from MrP. We are good friends and our kids get on really well.

9:37 pm

mcurlschool

I really considered myself lucky because just a year before that we lived in a single side mobile home surrounded by HUGE trees that would have come down for sure----we took them out and put in a new home.

9:37 pm

dcseain

nifty, terri, nice to make your acquaintance. I live in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC

9:37 pm

mrpresident

well, most of the time, my daughter and her son like to fight!

9:38 pm

lbdawger

welcome Terri. hope you will become a regular babbler!

9:38 pm

dcseain

how very fortunate, mccurl :)

9:38 pm

dcseain

kids are wont to fight

9:38 pm

lbdawger

good timing, mccurl!

9:38 pm

mixi6

like your icon lbd. lol

9:38 pm

terri1

Likewise, dcseain.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

hi mixi!

9:39 pm

mixi6

Hi, all --- quitting lurking.

9:39 pm

dcseain

hi, mixi

9:39 pm

terri1

Thanx ibdawger, though my nickname at this point ought to be monkey!!

9:43 pm

jesdraggon

leanto isn't a word? it is around here!

9:44 pm

lbdawger

take to o off, jes

9:44 pm

lbdawger

that should read, take the O off, jes.

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

i got that word, dawg, thanks. but a leanto is an open faced shed with a slanted roof. it is definitely a word!

9:46 pm

dcseain

sometimes it's hyphenated, which may be why it's not accepted

9:46 pm

lbdawger

i agree, Jes. we have them on this side of the mountain too.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

time to head for the pillows. see you all tomorrow. gl with the grid!

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

heh. there's no system to the words Enable doesn't accept, DC. why does it like tegu but not degu? if anything, degus are more common critters. and it won't take cria (baby llama), but it'll take 2 spellings of tenrec? *shakes head*

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, dawg :)

9:47 pm

dcseain

g'night dawg, sweet dreams

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

linea is also a word--it's the connective tissue "seam" where the abdominal muscles meet.

9:49 pm

dcseain

and three spellings of shtetl

9:50 pm

mixi6

8 left

9:50 pm

mrpresident

bye dawg!

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

and that's not even english, dc! *pout*

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

hah. nice job, mixi! I've still got 104

9:55 pm

mrpresident

9:55 pm

mrpresident

I have 297 words left!! but am heading up the alphabet

9:56 pm

dcseain

9:58 pm

dcseain

congrats, mixi

9:59 pm

dcseain

the whole living room smells like strawberries. :/

10:00 pm

mrpresident

yay mix!

10:00 pm

mrpresident

s's gone!

10:02 pm

mrpresident

my phantom: reordain

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

yay mixi!

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

hurrah! kitten is up to normal temp (finally!)

10:07 pm

mrpresident

jes, did you hear we adopted a kitten off the street??

10:08 pm

mrpresident

every morning at 1am it is out on the street when I take my dog for a walk... no collar, can't feel a microchip, and skinny

10:16 pm

dcseain

wonderful news, jes :)

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, mrp. how old is it?

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

you walk your dog at 1am? why are you awake and about at such an hour?

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

wouldn't hurt to take it to a clinic or shelter to scan for a chip, even if you can't feel one.

10:18 pm

mrpresident

only a little thing... about 4 months old?

10:18 pm

mrpresident

am taking him to the vet now to get him scanned for a chip

10:19 pm

mrpresident

if he is owned by someone, they will contact that person and in the meantime, I will take care of it until they get it

10:19 pm

mrpresident

if they don't want it, they will sign over ownership to me

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

yay! good on you, mrp :) and thanks for picking it up. it's very good luck to be adopted by a cat (or so i'm told by the cats that've adopted me)

10:19 pm

mrpresident

jes, I don't sleep much since the carbomb

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

ah

10:20 pm

mrpresident

I will give it to terri... it has to be deballed!!

10:21 pm

mrpresident

she has a son and he has no siblings of dad or anyone, so it will be good for him (he is 13) to have the company of a pet

10:22 pm

mrpresident

p's are done!! 200 to go

10:23 pm

mrpresident

i have offered to pay for half the desexing and microchipping

10:36 pm
