good morning all, gonna grab me a coffee and then I'll tackle this moderately-sized grid :)

1:59 am

flosey

hi Sprite

2:03 am

sprite

hi flosey! How are you today?

2:04 am

cg530

has anyone ever typed in a word that does not fit in the grid, yet it accepts it as a word? that just happened to me. i've looked at it a million times trying to see the word that it accepted and i cannot see it

2:04 am

flosey

good thanks sprite but getting tired, think I'll leave my last 14 for the morning

2:05 am

flosey

goodnight all

2:05 am

sprite

yeah I have, cg, but in the end figured out it was in the grid anyway. Sometimes it is so twisty.

2:05 am

sprite

night flosey, sweet dreams

2:05 am

flosey

tks Sprite, have a good day

2:06 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite

2:06 am

cg530

i have fireworks, but it seems anticlimactic. i just got the last word by pure chance.

2:06 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams flosey. thanx for the email xoxox

2:06 am

sprite

hello dear friend :) *hugs*

2:06 am

sprite

gratz, cg! Fireworks is fireworks, grin... good job.

2:07 am

grannyrose

WTG CG530!!!!

2:08 am

cg530

thanks! it's only happened a few times for me. is it cheating to use the word lists?

2:09 am

sprite

cg, as one babbler told me when I started here: Looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest... is research.

2:10 am

grannyrose

no cg. we each solve the grid using our own methods. puritans, and i am not being critical, say that the use of the lists is not the way the game should be played.

2:10 am

cg530

i'm sure there's probably lots of people who have the vocabulary to know the words without using the lists. i would not be one of them

2:10 am

grannyrose

ditto here cg. i need the list most times, particularly when the grid is huge.

2:12 am

sprite

to each their own, as rose says. Some use the second letter clue list, some use word lists, some spam the chog full of stats and lists, some use clues from other babblers. It all has its merits and I think puritans should remember we play the game for fun. So in the end, go with what brings you the most fun.

2:12 am

cg530

i guess i can feel good that i don't resort to the lists until i have at least half of the words. then, i go to the chat log, which is awesome. some people are so good at giving clues. i usually get quite a few more from that. i just started using the lists in the past few days, and i've actually be able to finish. i think i can count on one hand the times i've finished since i joined in 2006

2:13 am

grannyrose

what sprite says...lol...cg, may i introduce the sister of my soul, sprite? we often say what the other is thinking.

2:13 am

sprite

sounds to me like you found a great way to play for yourself, cg!

2:14 am

cg530

thanks, everyone. i've been lurking on this group for a long time, and i recognize so many names. people sure are friendly on this group. :-)

2:15 am

sprite

my way is to do without help for as far as I can get. Then use the tile and word stats given in the game. Then fool around with endings and patterns and see if I can find them in external word lists. And if the grid is big, I look up the second letter stats in lickety for the last few. And I never ever turn down a good clue, grin.

2:15 am

grannyrose

cg, it's mainly because we are all relaxed, and allow each other to voice how they feel, no judgement made.

2:15 am

dizgrannie

my way of playing is to try to get all the big ones first, but then I find I miss a lot of the littlies.

2:16 am

sprite

it is a good community, cg. You are welcome to lurk whenever you want, but even more welcome to join in chat :)

2:16 am

sprite

lol yes dizgrannie, and don't we feel stupid when we find out we had the big one and not the smaller constituents at the end...

2:17 am

grannyrose

and i try to find at least half if not over half for each tile. sometimes the big words jump right out, others i scratchmy head for quite some minutes. all in all, just enjoy the game.

2:17 am

cg530

i think it's really great how there are so many people from all over. just seeing the different flags has been educational for me

2:17 am

sprite

yes I like that too. So many nationalities from all over the world.

2:18 am

grannyrose

oh, and make friends along the way...* grinning at you sprite *

2:18 am

sprite

I suck at spotting biggies. And K words. Did I ever mention I hate K words?

2:18 am

dizgrannie

just for fun...(echoing Roses words)

2:18 am

cg530

ditto sprite. if i get a big one, it's a fluke

2:18 am

sprite

*giggles* I have noooooo idea what you are talking about, rose.

2:20 am

sprite

fun is good. Fun is what playing any game should be about.

2:21 am

grannyrose

exactly, sprite. just have fun. some players can accept not finishing a grid. and some are fanatical about finishing. i wish i could leave a grid unfinished, but is not in my personality

2:22 am

grannyrose

watch out sprite, i am going for the feather...* tickle, tickle *

2:22 am

sprite

same here. I love that feeling of completion. Can't stand missing a few words and not knowing which ones. So yeah, I finish. A touch of ocd. Just a touch.

2:22 am

sprite

noooo NOT the feather! *hides behind cg and dizgrannie*

2:23 am

grannyrose

*explosive laughter* a touch???

2:23 am

sprite

rose, have you finished? If so, tell me... is that beautiful TH there a total waste of space?

2:23 am

grannyrose

it's no good sprite, i know where you sleep...

2:24 am

sprite

You know where my bed sleeps and where my house lives...

2:24 am

grannyrose

roflol...

2:25 am

rururocks

Beds don't sleep...they lay around...:D

2:25 am

grannyrose

yup, sprite. total waste

2:25 am

sprite

hehehe hi ru :) How are you?

2:26 am

sprite

*mumblemumble* I really hate it when a good letter or letter combo is wasted.

2:26 am

rururocks

Hiya

2:26 am

rururocks

The th is used

2:27 am

sprite

ok! Then the hunt is back on, thanks ru

2:27 am

grannyrose

not at the beginning of a word, ruru

2:27 am

rururocks

Yes at the end

2:28 am

sprite

oh ok, confusion, sorry to be so unclear. I meant used at all, not just at the beginning. I am trying to make old english past tenses with it, lol

2:28 am

grannyrose

hope that isn't too much of a hint, sprite

2:28 am

grannyrose

you are on the right track

2:28 am

rururocks

Twice at the end

2:28 am

sprite

not at all, darling, thanks

2:29 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, twice

2:29 am

sprite

dyetie not a valid word?

2:29 am

grannyrose

you're a legend, ruru

2:30 am

rururocks

Legend?

2:30 am

grannyrose

for one of the th endings

2:30 am

rururocks

Ah

2:31 am

sprite

the legendary ruru rocks the world wherever he goes

2:31 am

rururocks

I thought it was a miss for people with lisps

2:31 am

grannyrose

darn....i hope i haven't given a word away

2:31 am

sprite

lol

2:31 am

frustrating :(

2:50 am

grannyrose

dinner ready, sprite. i'll be about 15 minutes.

3:02 am

sprite

don't inhale your food, rose, eat slowly and chew ;)

3:04 am

grannyrose

and chew?? you are meant to chew food??

3:06 am

sprite

yes dear. The whole breathe in- breathe out thing is only meant for air.

3:10 am

grannyrose

col....i learned to eat quickly during my training. if you were working on the ninth floor, and the cafeteria is on the first floor, and you are not allowed to use the lifts. have a stab at how much time you actually have to eat a meal, deducting the minutes for standing in a queue and find an empty chair from the 30 minutes allowed for a meal break.

3:11 am

sprite

omg indeed. Better off bringing your own bread and eat in the nurse room, lol

3:11 am

sprite

terra is at my feet, snoring like a boss!

3:13 am

grannyrose

sweet terra. * special pat for him*

3:13 am

sprite

hehehe will pass it on

3:13 am

grannyrose

sprite we were only allowed to eat and drink in the cafeteria.

3:14 am

sprite

such unreasonable demands. What is the madness in not being allowed to use the elevators?

3:15 am

grannyrose

the lifts were for patients, doctors, and family members . not for trainee nurses.

3:16 am

sprite

ridiculous. I'd have ignored that command for sure. 9 floors, go *ugly word* yourselves.

3:17 am

sprite

fireflies at last. Tough little grid, this.

3:17 am

grannyrose

col....in 1970?? nope...we were well and truly under the thumb.

3:17 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

3:18 am

sprite

even in 1970, lol. I have always had trouble following orders that seem ridiculous to me.

3:19 am

grannyrose

it wasn't until 1971, when the trainee nurses here rebelled. we went on strike, and refused to wash the supper cups from the patients. very wicked of us!!

3:19 am

sprite

well you were right. You don't train to be a nurse to do the washing up. Idiots. Hmmmph.

3:20 am

sprite

tell me to leave that scab on my pinkie alone, rose

3:21 am

grannyrose

LEAVE THE SCAB ON YOUR PINKIE ALONE!!!. it will not help if you pick it off. it is a natural cover for your wound.

3:22 am

grannyrose

another couple of days, you have my permission to pick.

3:24 am

sprite

thanks. My own firmness with myself wasn't enough

3:25 am

grannyrose

i am gonna check up on you...

3:26 am

kimberblue

3:27 am

grannyrose

8:17 am

Anniebrook

Still snowing heavily, car is buried, cant see it. I have to break a doctor's appt for tomorrow.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

We have gotten several inches since yesterday and my driveway had to get plowed out this morning. But we are not close to the storm system. My sister is in northeastern NJ.

8:19 am

bichon

We may have thunder snow later

8:19 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, Have you spoken to your sister? Is she okay?

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I texted her this morning. She received about 5 inches of snow so not bad...yet. She works at a hospital in NY--Good Samaritan in Suffern.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, how are you doing?

8:28 am

periwinkle

help with the lower I I left colum pls

8:28 am

periwinkle

8:28 am

Dorens

good morning. id4/7 peri, you might not need a clue

8:29 am

8:30 am

Dorens

8:30 am

Scrabbler

The radar map at weather.com looks awful for the northeast. Hi Doren--how are you.

8:31 am

periwinkle

duh, ty feeling really dumb but it will pass

8:31 am

periwinkle

how are conditions for you, Doren?

8:31 am

Dorens

(I hadn't done the top one when you asked, and my lower one was greyed out so i didn't notice it as readily
I'm fine scrabble... we have about another six inches but no big deal... same as what we had on Saturday. You??

8:32 am

Dorens

glad most of us seem to have dodged the worst.... coastal CT and LI are bad though. My sister in law in Nassau County is feeling lucky. lots of snow, but now power outages. everyone is safe

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

8:34 am

Aloyisius

mornin, folks.. glad to see you all survived, and your internet too

8:34 am

Dorens

I don't mind so much when they're wrong in that direction... would rather gear up for a bad storm and miss it than be taken by surprise.

8:34 am

Dorens

hi aloy... you're in Fl now, right?

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i agree. but themayor closed the schools yesterday.

8:34 am

periwinkle

Aloy I made a carrot an chili pepper soup yesterday which was quite good.

8:34 am

Aloyisius

right, Dorens.. sunny but quite cool, no complaints

8:35 am

periwinkle

8:35 am

Aloyisius

8:36 am

Dorens

my mom's in Sarasota for the winter, I just love when she complains that it's cold... I respond, "Define cold, Mom" Right around now 50's - 60's would be more than acceptable

8:36 am

dan2bit

a friend from Florida posted some fake sympathy yesterday "I know what you mean about this weather. I'm going to have to put on LONG pants to play golf tomorrow"

Aloyisius

8:47 am

Scrabbler

TY, Aloy. I talk abouts those at least once daily.

8:47 am

Dorens

Scrabbler

Not here. We had "Snowvember" with some areas getting 6-7 FEET of snow. Prince Andrew (Cuomo) stayed in Buffalo for a week. Thruway and roads were closed for several days.

8:50 am

bichon

Wonder how Trif is making out

8:50 am

Aloyisius

igloo building time

8:51 am

hego

Yesterday was the biggest grid I had ever completed. Whew!!

8:52 am

Scrabbler

I will cross-country ski this afternoon, on fresh powder. :-)

8:52 am

hego

New England will get more snow than us.

8:52 am

bichon

I wasn't near completing it, had 166 left

8:52 am

hego

It got kind of tedious.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

I never looked at the grid yesterday, I was busy all day.

8:53 am

Dorens

good day to be busy... it was a bear.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

How many words?

8:53 am

hego

The grids have been giving us plenty of sa4,4 to put on our roads. :)

8:53 am

Aloyisius

a kazillion

8:53 am

Dorens

4hundred something

8:53 am

hego

468

8:54 am

hego

What Aloy said

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Kazillion sounds like tedium.

8:55 am

hego

Liked your mom and her chair story Scrabs

8:55 am

bichon

it was Scrabs. But at least I wasn't at the grocery store buing tp and bread

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Clues for Os please?

8:55 am

Dorens

it was tedium

8:55 am

Scrabbler

She is so funny, Hego.

8:55 am

bichon

You are such a good daughter Scrabs

8:56 am

hego

Poor thing.

8:56 am

hego

She is a great daughter.

8:56 am

Dorens

i on** have two of them

8:56 am

Scrabbler

I try, Bichon, but I feel guilty that I am not doing more.

8:56 am

bichon

Yes, there is always that guilty feeling

8:56 am

Dorens

you do far more than most scrabs (including me) I just pray for my mother's husband to outlive her... would do anything for that

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

24 a words. torture.

8:57 am

hego

You are right Doren. My mother was a mess after my father died.

8:57 am

hego

Hi TO

8:58 am

Dorens

yes, i' m a bit stymied by the a's as well, owl

8:58 am

Scrabbler

My sisters and I hoped our Dad would outlive Mom, because she is high-maintenance, and we knew the grief would be worse for her. But it didn't turn out that way.

8:58 am

Aloyisius

The one and on4.6 time I saw the babblet od4.5 ..

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

nice

8:59 am

Scrabbler

am4/7 = am** nitrate

8:59 am

Aloyisius

but I had to monkey od4.7

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i am pounding my keys and still cannot get a comma

8:59 am

Dorens

hego, my mother is a bit of a mess now. but her husband is great. If he weren't around, my life would be so very different. She is high maintenance. and it isn't even about grief, it is about having someone to dance at her command, as well as shepherd her to her various appointmnets.

8:59 am

Aloyisius

use that same ending, Scrabs..

8:59 am

Scrabbler

My monkey is looking for it now.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

New for me, Aloy

8:59 am

hego

Doren my mom was the same.

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

how old is she, doren?

9:00 am

Scrabbler

My mother is Miss Bossy Boss too.

9:00 am

hego

ty for od

9:00 am

hego

Scrabs have you heard of the HCG diet?

9:00 am

Aloyisius

yw, brb.. bringing hot coffee refills

9:00 am

Scrabbler

No.

9:01 am

Aloyisius

and some bagels too

9:01 am

hego

You live on liquids and receive HCG to burn fat. Ugh!!

9:01 am

hego

ty Aloy!!

9:01 am

Dorens

87. and he's 88, but strong like bull. Still, I see them both slowing down. He needed surgery for a benign tumor on her leg and when she told me about it, the main point was that she doesn't know how she'll make coffee (she's a fabulous cook), because he's done it for the last twenty years or so. Talk about being dependent! (and narcissistic)

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

we need to make french toast with all of the storm prep bread milk and eggs

9:02 am

Dorens

i never went out to buy bread.. figured I could live without it. I do have lots of milk and eggs though.

9:02 am

hego

She'll have to figure it out, Doren.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

hm..custard?

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

fritttata?

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I am on the website, Hego. Looks bad--very low calorie diet, thus weight loss results. Not sound.

9:03 am

Dorens

she did manage, hego. but it was kind of pathetic that she even said that. it's just the way she thinks. it's all about her. and he has no problem with that, so he's great for her

9:03 am

Scrabbler

My mother is like that too, Doren.

9:03 am

Dorens

would love custard, or any kind of pudding. but trying to eat sensibly right now.

9:04 am

hego

It sounded bad to me too.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I need to go see a kid. BBS>

9:04 am

hego

Mimi wants to go on it.

9:04 am

hego

Bye Scrabs.

9:04 am

Dorens

sounds ridiculous to me

9:04 am

Anniebrook

It's sort of a whiteout condition here now.

9:05 am

Dorens

good you're inside then, Annie.

9:05 am

hego

Eating sensibly is such a pain.

9:05 am

hego

Hi Annie

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

that is hard

9:05 am

Dorens

tell me about it! and it isn't even giving me the results I want, but then again I know what would happen if I didn't.

9:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi hego..I called the doctor to cancel an appt for tomorrow and the office is closed.

9:06 am

hego

No one will be in today.

9:06 am

Anniebrook

looks that way. did you get much snow?

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

my dentist called yesterday to reschedule because he would be closed tomorrow.

9:07 am

hego

about a foot. Still snowing.

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

it is really bad when a foot sounds good!

9:07 am

Dorens

my Physical Therapy place called yesterday morning and asked if I wanted to switch my Tuesday appt and come in then. Was a great idea.

9:07 am

hego

true TO

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

i so want to get out and go someplace warm.

9:08 am

hego

I am off to West Palm next month

9:09 am

Dorens

i'm going to Vegas next month. might not be as warm as I'd like, but won't be cold!

9:09 am

hego

should be nice.

9:10 am

Anniebrook

going to start my day, see you all later

9:11 am

hego

bye...

9:11 am

Dorens

so should West Palm. nicer, even. But I can't complain. My best friend from HS goes there for a convention twice a year and she has a huge suite at the Venetian, and lots of dinner parties that I'll be able to go to, so it should be a very cheap getaway.. frequent flier miles to get there.. all it will cost me will be breakfast and lunch and massages for both of us at Canyon Ranch Spa (which is at the hotel)

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

you have been travelling a lot. my companion does not want to travel

9:11 am

Dorens

Will go to Red Rocks Canyon to hike (by myself) one day.

9:11 am

hego

That mess of vowels on the left is making me woozy.

9:12 am

hego

I drag my poor husband all over the place. lol

9:12 am

Dorens

I do this travelling by myself, owl, or with Great Aunt Juliet (92). not with my companion.

9:12 am

Dorens

your poor husband is more than a good sport hego! i know you know you're lucky to have him.

9:12 am

hego

When you're both retired it makes a nice change.

9:13 am

hego

He is sweet and kind for sure.

9:13 am

rururocks

9:13 am

hego

And he enjoys all the Babble ladies.

9:13 am

hego

Hello Ru

9:14 am

Dorens

Vegas. not that it would be my destination of choice, but it's a freebie.

9:14 am

Aloyisius

sounds like a winner hego.. hi ruru, just in time for some onion bagels if you'd like one

9:14 am

hego

Ruru, love you're icon. lol

9:15 am

hego

your icon!! dang!

9:15 am

Dorens

I've done it with her before, ru. I have no interest in the casinos or the night life... just sit by the pool, read my book, enjoy the luxurious room and eat well.

9:15 am

rururocks

I am off carbs aloy. But thanks

9:15 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok.. passes fruit salad

9:15 am

hego

off carbs! Horrors!

9:15 am

Dorens

ru, the carbs don't count if it's eaten in babbleonia, silly!

9:16 am

hego

Of course Doren.

9:16 am

rururocks

Yes they do doren

9:16 am

hego

how come?

9:17 am

Dorens

well, hego and I disagree. I will eat all the muffins I can here... then go have some hardboiled eggs soon. I'm down to 33. Breakfast comes when I hit 30.

9:17 am

hego

enjoy Doren

9:18 am

hego

My breakfast is a soft boiled egg and a piece of wheat toast

9:18 am

rururocks

Cant wait to hit 30 too

9:19 am

Dorens

Good morning, cats and kittens!

9:22 am

morning Judi

9:22 am

hego

Is that your doggie?

9:22 am

Judi

Yep. That is Luna. She is a husky mix.

9:23 am

hego

Very cute! How is she doing?

9:23 am

Aloyisius

aww, pretty luna

9:24 am

Judi

She's coming along. Vet visit yesterday. Now being treated for tick borne illness and some other kennel bug. Nothing serious. Shelter we got her from will hear about it though. As they told us she was fully vetted when we picked her up.

9:25 am

hego

It happens.

9:26 am

Inge2

Beautiful dog, Judi. Thank you for choosing a rescue.

9:26 am

BzznBea

Hope everyone dealing with Juno is snug and warm.

9:26 am

Marc Freeman

ad6, please?

9:26 am

Judi

She gets spayed next week. Cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching. See the pretty money fly away.

9:26 am

hego

Juno?

9:27 am

hego

yes, Judy. Pets are quite expensive.

9:27 am

BzznBea

Juno is the snowstorm in New England.

9:27 am

Judi

Oy. Don't I know it.

9:27 am

hego

yes, Bea and here too. Did not know it had a name.

9:29 am

Judi

They name winter storms now. Pointless, really.

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i thought the shelters included spaying/neutering in the asoption fee, to insure it would be done?

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

mena to say ensure. sorry

9:31 am

hego

Not seeing ad 6 either. hmmm

9:31 am

BzznBea

I think they do if they adopt to individuals, TO.

9:31 am

BzznBea

But if the dog is pulled by a rescue, they are expected to take care of that.

9:32 am

Judi

Luna's turnaround time was very quick. Came from kill shelter in Kentucky to shelter in PA. Was only there three days when hubby spotted her. They refund spaying fee *up to $75 once we get her show proof. Less than half the cost.

Pleurisy is like pneumonia? Did they have to drain your pleural membranes?

No, I had "dry" pleurisy, from my old sternum fracture
