1:06 am

cybernan

terrorist (recent convert to islam) shot a ceremonial guard at the national war memorial then ran into the house of parliament shooting as he crashed through security before being killed by the head of security. A close call - the sitting party and the opposition were both holding caucus meetings in rooms just of the hall the shooter ran into.

1:06 am

Lizlin

I heard that he'd wanted to go to fight but he'd been refused a passport by the Canadian govt.

1:07 am

cybernan

The killed assailant had at least one accomplice who has not yet been found. Parliament hill and surrounding hotels, a mall, schools and the university of Ottawa were all in lock down for several hours.

2:52 am

grannyrose

well i tried it too...lol. how are you matty?

2:53 am

mattygroves

I'm alright - I should be on my way to work at the moment, but thanks to signal failures, there are no trains!

2:53 am

Dachef

se4ie entered into OED in 2013. Enable still on the 1974 version!!

2:53 am

grannyrose

oh, nice. does that mean you get to walk to work?? ...*giggle *

2:54 am

mattygroves

Ha! It would be a very long walk. I shall wait and see if the trains get better and work from home until then. With a bit of Babble in between :)

2:54 am

grannyrose

best of both worlds then, matty.

2:58 am

mattygroves

I cannot see how one can get a six letter word (or even a five) from CA (still working on it - pretty much just started so not begging yet!)

2:58 am

Dachef

toss it.

2:59 am

mattygroves

Thanks Dach!

3:53 am

sprite

hi matty :)

3:53 am

rubyfoo

hi matty and sprite and rosie

3:54 am

sprite

hi ruby, this version of enable does not even accept the word 'internet'. So that shows how outdated it is.

3:54 am

mattygroves

Back in 2006 I wrote a review of this site; it's not changed a whit since then.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

ridiculous

3:54 am

3:56 am

sprite

3:56 am

rubyfoo

poor sprite, not a good diet method (lol, ruefully)

3:56 am

mattygroves

I'm supposed to get a flu shot at work at 2.00 today, but I have no trains thanks to signalling problems. We'll see what happens!

3:56 am

sprite

too true, ruby, grin

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I've never had a flu shot or the flu but then again,I don't get out much....

3:57 am

sprite

ugh, frustrating, matty

3:57 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite. poor you!! i had a lovely day...out for lunch with a friend...lol...we solve the problems of the world over lunch...i wish the world leaders would listen to us.

3:57 am

sprite

3:58 am

grannyrose

sent you an email sprite.

3:58 am

sprite

4:00 am

grannyrose

okay...will wait for your advice, hun

4:01 am

rubyfoo

the chimney guy was here yesterday for the annual cleaning and when we made a fire this AM (very much needed!!!), the house filled up with smoke. He closed something unreachable!

4:02 am

grannyrose

yuck, ruby. naughty person...can you get him bach ASAP?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

he'll be here late this afternoon, but it's very annoying as it was working perfectly before

4:04 am

grannyrose

i hear you ruby. you try to do the right thing...and it back-fires on you...all part of human mistakes. i hope you both are okay after that episode.

4:04 am

sprite

omg ruby :(

4:06 am

rubyfoo

and, of course, Burt fell again this AM. Just in the pantry and he was able to get himself up but I am a nervous wreck.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

You have to clean the chimney or the insurance won't pay if the house burns down

4:07 am

grannyrose

*gently holds ruby* there, there dear. i am with you.

4:09 am

mattygroves

Sorry to be a pain - any ideas on the last three FL words (5/16, 6/39 and 8/75)?

4:09 am

rubyfoo

last 3? hahah, I still need 11!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

and ca't find the y or anything bigger than a 7.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

However, this is still better than real li**!

4:10 am

mattygroves

Sorry - I have 57 words to find - but I'm working on the FLs :)

4:11 am

mattygroves

Got the 5/16 (an easy one - duh)

4:11 am

sprite

back at you, rose

4:11 am

rubyfoo

oh, I only need 88 lol

4:11 am

sprite

babble blindness, matty! We all know it.

4:12 am

mattygroves

Yeah - felt very silly - was heading in the wrong direction (down rather than up). Still struggling in the fl6/39 and the 8/75 though

4:12 am

sprite

I just tried pegasus, lol.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

you could fly away

4:14 am

grannyrose

matty, fl6/36. fl* airborne insect + plural letter + **eese, food made from milk. then plural for fl8/75

4:15 am

mattygroves

Thank you Rose - I don't think I'd have every monkied those. Too many consonants!

4:15 am

grannyrose

and going for dinner...xoxox to you all. will bbs.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

crazy word! ty ro**

4:16 am

sprite

in case you wondered, it means: an association of certain types of marine sedimentary rocks characteristic of deposition in a foredeep. So now we know.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

and now, use it in a sentence!

4:17 am

sprite

thanks, rose, and enjoy your dinner. I answered your mail.

4:18 am

sprite

This morning, walking over the foredeep, I stumbled over all the fl8.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I especially like foredeep, sounds like a bad translation of something else

4:20 am

sprite

too true

4:20 am

rubyfoo

made up by the same guy who writes TV subtitles

4:20 am

sprite

how a dictionary can lead you on a merry chase: foredeep = an elongate sediment-filled sea-floor depression bordering an island arc or other orogenic belt. So now I have to look up orogenic.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

have to go for now, but will spend the afternoon in my American Heritage dictionary NOT!

4:22 am

sprite

orogenic: the process of mountain making or upheaval. So there. Some stony shit in the midst of an upheaval.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

4:22 am

sprite

bye ruby, all the best *hug*

4:22 am

rubyfoo

sounds like me in my increasingly shabby house!

4:23 am

sprite

sprite

did you see my answer email?

4:36 am

grannyrose

yes thanx hun.and answered, dearest.

4:38 am

sprite

only one of them is corrected, ro4. The other occurances of the word are still apostrophed.

4:39 am

grannyrose

ugh twice!! i am Not emotional...lol

4:40 am

sprite

*hugs ro4*

4:42 am

grannyrose

ah well...if it's not correct...i don't think i care very much. have done my best...

4:42 am

grannyrose

i hope the sentiment is clear, sprite.

4:43 am

sprite

yes it is. Wait... I'l edit it. Hold on.

4:46 am

sprite

there :)

4:50 am

grannyrose

thanx dear. i did pick another apostrophe which was inappropriate and deleted it. it should be literally correct now. * sigh *

4:51 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

4:51 am

mattygroves

Four words left - can anyone give me a steer on the re7/32?

4:51 am

4:52 am

grannyrose

4:52 am

mattygroves

Aaah - my first cat's name is a word in the grid

4:53 am

sprite

hey kitty cat, lol

4:54 am

mattygroves

es 6/36 and cl5/18. The singletons (with no other words with those first two letters) I always find hard as you can't work out the third letter from the surrounding words

4:54 am

grannyrose

and done sprite.

4:55 am

sprite

es6 is an oldfashioned word for avoid, stay away from

4:55 am

sprite

cl5/18 is C + elevator

4:55 am

mattygroves

Got it Sprite - I tried a load of what I thought were similar words but were not words at all...

4:55 am

grannyrose

cl5, sounds like the past tense of rocky outcrop. c + elevate

4:55 am

mattygroves

That's it - I'm done! I guess I'd better wash up and go to the office as trains are running again!

5:02 am

grannyrose

exactly, sprite. if it only knew how many babblers it has alienated...lol

5:03 am

sprite

it does know and it relishes in the knowledge, honey. Sorry little person. Like trolls, better not feed it or pay it any attention.

5:03 am

grannyrose

but such an se4-opinionated person never looks beyond its own needs.

5:03 am

sprite

anyway, I am off for today. Sleep well, dear one. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night. Yes, even the cyber booh lee.

5:58 am

grannyrose

oh, my. lolol crossy

5:58 am

It is fine, scrabby. In tail end of fall colours now and have had two hard frosts...

5:58 am

crosshair

am also in last 4 weeks or so of classes-- then I start looking at a college course or 2 I am thinking

5:59 am

Scrabbler

No frost here yet, but any day. I was worried with the Ottawa events yesterday.

5:59 am

crosshair

That is terrible. I read a few things on that last night:(

6:00 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake, crossy. where is this all going to lead you, mate?

6:00 am

crosshair

Still mostly on lock-down

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Sad and scary.

6:01 am

grannyrose

i have gone brain-dead...looking at a disability support pension in the face.

6:01 am

crosshair

I think it will lead me into professional copy editing:)

6:02 am

working in an on-line capacity

6:02 am

crosshair

there may be 3 parties involved in the shooting

6:02 am

grannyrose

oh ah!! crossy !! nice !!

6:03 am

crosshair

I am actually looking at Algonquin College in ottawa

6:04 am

Scrabbler

CNN is covering the story now. The video of the shooting in Parliament is frightening.

6:04 am

crosshair

I cal it my mid-life crisis career;)

6:04 am

crosshair

scary times. Even though we are seen as peace keepers and a safe haven for many, we are not immune

6:05 am

crosshair

terror can find its way into any sanctuary

6:06 am

crosshair

We are part of forces that stand with those who wish to put an end to terror and are targeted as well

6:06 am

Scrabbler

A mid-life transformation is exciting and I think MANY people desire to do that.

6:06 am

crosshair

It is very interesting to say the least scrabby. this mid-life change;)

6:07 am

grannyrose

crossy...as the majority of us have noted....terror is not acceptable.

6:08 am

crosshair

indeed

6:09 am

grannyrose

and now...i must retire. xoxox to you all.

6:09 am

lbdawger

{{crossy}} {{scrabbs}} and {{ibd}}

6:20 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:20 am

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

6:20 am

crosshair

The striped mittenfish, a deepwater species recently discovered in the Java Sea, can change its sex at will by turning its entire body inside out.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

goody!

6:21 am

MollyL

Ruby, ho9...equine + lima

6:21 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito!!

6:22 am

rubyfoo

haha, and thanks, Molly, what a funny word

6:22 am

MollyL

The y is an "ooo gross" word

6:24 am

rubyfoo

that fish probably lives in a fl6

6:27 am

rubyfoo

phew, it took me forever to find the y

6:27 am

sukee

Good morning

6:29 am

rubyfoo

hahah, sukee

6:30 am

sukee

Cat had ultrasound, did great. Will get results today.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Is cat a cat or a Catherine?

6:31 am

sukee

Cat is a pussy cat.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

6:31 am

sukee

6:32 am

sukee

Quite a day in Ottawa yesterday.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

6:32 am

rubyfoo

My friend (Fr) has a black cat named Ghost. Go figure!

6:32 am

{{annie}} and bye everybody

6:32 am

sukee

See you

6:32 am

crosshair

it was indeed, sukee:(

6:32 am

Anniebrook

hi and bye ((ruby))

6:33 am

crosshair

howdy annie:)

6:33 am

Anniebrook

Were there 2 shooters in Canada yesterday? Sad day.

6:33 am

Anniebrook

hi crossy

6:33 am

sukee

So far only one, they haven't found anyone else

6:34 am

Anniebrook

CNN said he was a recent convert to Islam. So why, I ask, kill people?

6:34 am

crosshair

there were suspicions of a second person involved, but no new news on that front so far

6:35 am

sukee

I think that was his point. It seems to be happening with a lot of young men in the West.

6:36 am

MollyL

Sadly, Annie, some people twist religion to mean things it doesn't mean at all.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Yes, They are reporting that on the TV and in newspapers. Yes, Molly, that is the point in their minds. I fear that might find it a bit romantic. Sad world.

6:37 am

doseffing

... if he was anything like the guy from the weekend he was simply an Ecole Polytechnique copycat using Islam as a justification for his own inability to fit in to society

6:37 am

sukee

Don't want to be one of those blaming video games but it does make your wonder.

6:38 am

Anniebrook

dose, I totally agree with you.

6:38 am

crosshair

Read also of those three girls who tried to head over to turkey and cross the border to join ISIS...scary stuff

6:38 am

sukee

Yes dose

6:39 am

sukee

So brave, shoot down an unarmed man.

6:39 am

MollyL

There is a lot of evidence that suggests violent video games desensitizes people to real life violence.

6:39 am

periwinkle

good morning all. I am up for an early ex class. ty for ho9.

6:39 am

periwinkle

help with the 8 pls

6:40 am

sukee

Got the 9 from the clue, I have never heard of that before.

6:40 am

doseffing

.. well ... we're not innocent there ... the American drone attacks have killed 2500 people ... most of them women and children as bystanders ... ... that can justify a lot in the eyes of a guy who has no job and no future

6:40 am

sukee

TY

6:41 am

sukee

Well, the opposition will have a lot of "I told you so" attitudes.

6:41 am

MollyL

fl8...what birds do (through the air) + the first three of building where kids learn + two letter plural

6:42 am

MollyL

Sorry for the clunky clue, but that word is weird

6:42 am

periwinkle

tyty Molly, I never would have found that one.

6:42 am

periwinkle

it is a weird word

6:42 am

sukee

Ty Molly

6:42 am

7:08 am

Cosmo Kramer

ho9 - compound word.
big pony (5) + vegetable (4)

7:09 am

Alleyn58

Thanks! Strange word but blacked the 9

7:10 am

Cosmo Kramer

yeah strange. may be the vegetable the pony eats is called this :)

7:10 am

Cosmo Kramer

fyce

7:10 am

Cosmo Kramer

sorry

It's really very sad. America is not the only country involved in the fight against islamic terrorism, and yet it is always the first country people point the finger at.

i think, if canadians live in a democracy, they should bring their political concerns to the attention of their representatives.

7:50 am

josephjames

what do you mean "if"? is there any question about canada being a democracy?

7:51 am

josephjames

oh that was 20 minutes ago

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

11:39 am

Wolvie

11:39 am

picpoul is the new Gruner

11:40 am

I like Gruner. Haven't heard of Pigpoo until just now.

11:41 am

rururocks

you'd like it judi

11:41 am

rururocks

11:41 am

Judi

Where's it from?

11:41 am

rururocks

the south of france

11:42 am

11:42 am

11:42 am

Judi

Ah. Merci. Will look for it at the wine store.

11:42 am

rururocks

it is white nan

11:42 am

Dorens

don't particularly like gruner, but guess I must try picpoul if it has become "the trendy wine to be seen drinking" as image is certainly everything

11:42 am

Judi

I don't drink reds.

11:43 am

rururocks

by a current vintage.. not an old one Judi.. it doesn't age well

11:43 am

cybernan

how dry is it

11:43 am

rururocks

doren is so au current

11:43 am

rururocks

very dry

11:43 am

Judi

Most whites don't. I like Sauvignon Blanc and unoaked Chard.

11:43 am

Dorens

going in to the city to meet rachel and see A Delicate Balance. So VERY current

11:43 am

cybernan

just assumed coming rom the south of france it would be red -- not much white produced there

11:43 am

cybernan

ah -- another battery acid wine

11:44 am

rururocks

there is a ton of white produced down there

11:44 am

cybernan

prefer the wines from Alsace and Vouvray

11:44 am

rururocks

generally narrow, but the two I recommended are nice and rich

11:44 am

Dorens

11:44 am

rururocks

I love the Gassac.. screw cap too

11:45 am

Dorens

I guess it was just the areas we were in that were al all red, although I did find a nice white that I liked in the Chateau Neuf area

11:45 am

rururocks

domaine de mas Gassac Picpoul de Pinet. blue label

11:45 am

Judi

Screw caps are becoming the norm on wine. They still make me cringe a bit, but as long as the wine tastes good, screw the cap. (ha ha - pun intended).

11:45 am

rururocks

2011, 12 and 13 all really nice

11:46 am

Dorens

will have to see if my local guy has it. thanks.

11:46 am

rururocks

the only problem with screw caps is that when you go to a restaurant judi.. you have to pay a screwage

11:46 am

Judi

Only the French would put such a pretentiously long name on a wine.

11:46 am

Dorens

lol

6:26 pm

grannyrose

why are you distracted, kje? is it something you can share or not?

6:28 pm

kje

my dad died, granny - 2 weeks ago. Mourning is a weird thing. Your brain isn't really always there. Was the same way with my mom 3 years ago

6:28 pm

kje

had to give multiple lectures this week at the school... prob were not my finest

6:28 pm

rururocks

oh.. that's what happened. I'm sorry KJE.. I knew it wasn't good news

6:29 pm

rururocks

I was afraid to ask why you were in Texas the other day

6:29 pm

kje

very unexpected, ru. Wasn't ill. Just went to bed and didn't wake up.

6:29 pm

grannyrose

oh no, kje. i am so sorry to hear that. and yes, grief does strange things. the hardest are the unseen triggers which keep popping up. my heartfelt sympathies, dear.

6:29 pm

ChrissieDee

So sorry for your losses kje

6:29 pm

kje

but that is how he would have wanted it. no decline.

6:30 pm

kje

thank you. I'm ok. but mourning sucks, no way around it

6:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Very hard on those left behind in shock though

6:31 pm

rururocks

that's how i'm going to go.. i'll be babbling on here with you guys and then just drop dead

6:31 pm

kje

well, that is a lovely thought ru... will freak us all out every time you fail to answer now!

6:32 pm

rururocks

LOL

6:32 pm

saanichcat

oh kje, no wonder you poor dear. I am sending you a hug {{{HUG}}} Losing a parent is so hard. I am sorry I was teasing you earlier.

6:32 pm

grannyrose

let it rip, kje. it's the only way. scream at the sky, get angry and cry. all those thingsare exactly what you should be doing and feeling.

6:32 pm

kje

no need to apologize... I enjoyed it

6:33 pm

rururocks

if you see this: bnipqwebrtao[eibhio[pptha ete... you'll know something is wrong

6:33 pm

ChrissieDee

lol

6:33 pm

grannyrose

6:34 pm

rururocks

I think I will just do some long silences to scare the crap out of everyone

6:34 pm

kje

Here lies a good man... Ru. He babbled til he dropped.

6:35 pm

rururocks

All kidding aside now.. that would be the very best way to let go.. just passing in your sleep

6:35 pm

kje

yes, I know that. It is what he wanted, had said so... oh to be so lucky

6:35 pm

rururocks

My headstone will read: here Lies rururocks.. an atheist to his end.. so here he is ... all dressed up and no where to go

6:35 pm

ChrissieDee

6:35 pm

6:36 pm

It is the end of an era. My Dad and his friend were once moaning about a mutual friend who had just passed, and my Dad's friend said, "Well, Bill, I guess they're weeding our row." We all laughed and laughed. So true.
