crosshair

I promised pictures from the ceremony yesterday, but my i-phone and my old computer are not on speaking terms at the moment. The mrs posted a few on FB, and I have shared them on my FB as well for those who wish a peek:)

6:05 am

crosshair

The best pictures are still pending;)

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Great! How was your "speech?"

6:06 am

crosshair

It is funny, Scrabby; i spent three weekas grinding over that speech, but when I got up there, i took one look at it and tossed it on the stage and spoke from the heart instead. i felt like a better choice--and it was.

6:06 am

crosshair

weeks*

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Wow!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I do not see any pics on your page.

6:07 am

crosshair

Should of heard them laugh when i tossed it waway. i told them that i forgot my glasses, but they were in my pocket the entire time:)

6:07 am

crosshair

I put them on my FB page 5 min ago

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby

6:13 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I am feeling really sad and am glad to find some friends in here.

6:13 am

bichon

But you got good news

6:14 am

Scrabbler

What are you sad about, ruby?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi bichon

6:14 am

rubyfoo

|I see my oncologit on Tuesday, so will know bettr then (I hope) what is the plan of treatment but, ast least, I don't need the liver biopsy.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I am having a lot of pain and I don't know how far into my bones the cancer has spread

6:15 am

rubyfoo

So far, I just know that it's in the sternum (on top of the old fracture) and in the rib adjacent too the old breast cancer

6:15 am

Scrabbler

DO you have pain meds?

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Yes, I take morphine when it gets bad but I overdid stuff this AM and am suffering for it

6:17 am

rubyfoo

As my son is here and although he tries to help me, he is very pushy and basically unsympathetic, at least on the surface.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Find the right med, at the right dose, at the right interval, with the least side effects.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

And he is constantly trying to change the ways in which I do things, like how could somebody as stupid as I have raised such a brilliant son???? almot lol

6:18 am

rubyfoo

20mg morphine is the best, but I waited too long to take it

6:19 am

rubyfoo

hits shit

6:19 am

bichon

You need a daughter

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Tell him what to do for you and what you can do for yourself.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

sorry about my oopses

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I already had those words.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I need to get ready for work. ((Ruby))--peace and comfort to you.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I'm a little bit rusty as, with John here, I cant play without getting a sh**load of criticism

6:21 am

rubyfoo

Thank you, scrabs

6:22 am

rubyfoo

|I've always regretted not having had a daughter

6:22 am

bichon

What Scrabs said

6:23 am

MollyL

Wow Ruby, I'm sorry to hear that. The last thing you need now is criticism.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

aaah, 2 good things: Molly arrived and the morphine kicked in!

6:23 am

rubyfoo

Hello Moly

6:27 am

MollyL

Molly and Morphine...sounds like a grunge band
: D

6:27 am

rubyfoo

haha

6:27 am

Marc Freeman

en6/27, please?

6:27 am

bichon

There is a band "Red Molly" here in CT

6:27 am

bichon

don't have it Marc

6:28 am

Marc Freeman

OK

6:28 am

rubyfoo

is that its color or its politics?

6:28 am

MollyL

6:29 am

bichon

that's 6/24

6:29 am

Marc Freeman

6:30 am

MollyL

Oh, sorry

6:32 am

MollyL

6:32 am

MollyL

It's the last vowel

6:33 am

bichon

ty Molly

6:33 am

rubyfoo

what a funny way to spell it

6:33 am

rubyfoo

duny

6:34 am

bichon

ruby's probably so high

6:34 am

Marc Freeman

got it thanks

6:34 am

MollyL

Whee!

6:34 am

rubyfoo

the only side effect is itchiness. ||It doesn't even make me sleepy

6:35 am

bichon

You coul crush it up. Bet it would make you high

6:35 am

MollyL

Ruby, for such a tiny person, you have an amazing tolerance for drugs

6:36 am

rubyfoo

It's crazy and has been noticed whenever I've been hospitalized.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

It was a kind of running joke \9hahah) with the nurses whenever I had surgery

6:36 am

bichon

If you take some Benadryl with it, that might help the itchiness

6:37 am

MollyL

Be sure you let any anesthesiologist who works on you know that

6:38 am

rubyfoo

They never believe me when I say that locals don't work. I once had to be held down during one suh procedure

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I'll take itchiness over pain any time.

6:49 am

Marc Freeman

os6, please?

6:51 am

bichon

os 6 is a procedure you have after surgery on your intestines

6:55 am

Marc Freeman

don't know that

6:55 am

Marc Freeman

sorry

6:59 am

MollyL

You get an os6 bag, gross

7:00 am

MollyL

os + Actor Danza, but replace the N with an M

7:01 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

7:01 am

MollyL

You've really never heard of an os6 bag? Good for you

7:05 am

Marc Freeman

yes but it is called a colostomy bag and I didn't see the connection to the os word

7:06 am

bichon

if you llop off the co, there you are

7:07 am

Marc Freeman

col needs to be loped off anyway thanks for the clue

7:11 am

MollyL

It's actually called both.

7:12 am

bichon

the bag is called an os**** bag and the procedure is called a col******

7:15 am

Marc Freeman

I did not know that. Thanks for the clarification

7:15 am

bichon

re 6/21, pls

7:15 am

Marc Freeman

I just knew it as a colostomy bag

7:15 am

8:21 am

rururocks

Glad i missed the old bag discussion

8:27 am

MollyL

Well, when you've seen one old bag, you've seen 'em all

8:27 am

hurshy

are we discussing actual bags, or an insulting term for elderly women?

8:28 am

rururocks

Bags

8:28 am

MollyL

The discussion below was actually about colos6 bags

8:28 am

hurshy

that's a relief.

8:28 am

hurshy

ooh and now i got a word out of it, thanks

8:29 am

MollyL

Or "poo bags" as the Brit girl on Grey's Anatomy called them

8:29 am

rururocks

I jsually pick on old women on the weekends...ðŸ˜‰

8:29 am

hurshy

poo bags seems like an apt description

8:30 am

MollyL

It's nice that you devote special time to them, Ru

8:30 am

rururocks

They seem to be rested more that way.

8:32 am

hurshy

8:32 am

rururocks

Two

8:32 am

hurshy

8:44 am

MollyL

Ru got the hy words right away. He sings them all the time
: D

8:44 am

hurshy

i love singing them too :)

8:45 am

hurshy

it's just when you were looking for "hyena" or "hymen", your mind might not be in the right vicinity

8:47 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! super mario bros. creature

8:48 am

MollyL

Yoshi

8:48 am

MollyL

And here I thought you would go for the Melville novel

8:48 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

8:49 am

hurshy

i do NOT like melville

8:49 am

hurshy

most american authors leave me cold

8:49 am

MollyL

I learned everything I know about Mario from my kids. Among other things. I had a dream once that I was on Jeopardy and the final Jeopardy question was "What does LL Cool J stand for?" And I crushed it, of course, thanks to my kids.

8:50 am

MollyL

Is there some self help group for Americans who hate being American? Amerinon?

8:51 am

hurshy

oh... i unfortunately do not know about LL Cool J.

idk about the self help but i'm looking into being adopted by my british sister- and brother-in-law who have british citizenship. :) lol

8:53 am

hurshy

that's why it is always annoying when people tell you "if you don't like it, why don't you just move out of this country!" when they are mad at you because you would like some gun control or something. it's just not that easy to be able to move to another country. perhaps we should make more treaties with allies, that would make it easier for canadians, brits, etc to become americans if that appeals to them, and same for americans in return.

8:55 am

uusue2

so what *does* LL Cool J stand for?

8:55 am

Trifioso

Ladies Love Cool James....and good morning all!

8:55 am

MollyL

Well with all the experience I had getting my husband a green card, I can tell you that it is NOT easy for Canadians to even BEGIN to become Americans.

8:56 am

MollyL

Ladies Love Cool James

8:56 am

uusue2

thanks, Molly and Trif!

8:56 am

MollyL

If I had to pick another nationality to be, it most definitely would not be British.

8:56 am

hurshy

musically i prefer to rockabye sweet baby james

8:57 am

rururocks

Wow i pictured you as more heavy metal hursh

8:57 am

MollyL

And hey, good for James. Finally another Number One album.

8:58 am

hurshy

i assume that is a funny funny joke ruru :)

8:58 am

MollyL

I hear Hursh likes the British punk rock bands
: D

8:58 am

hurshy

yeah i am looking forward to buying his new album

8:58 am

Trifioso

actually, hurshy, I pictured you with more of a harder musical edge as well.....all apologies

8:58 am

hurshy

hmm, what has given people this impression?

8:58 am

hurshy

i am very curious!

8:59 am

MollyL

You guys, come on, Hurshy likes ABBA for God's sake

8:59 am

rururocks

Omg

8:59 am

hurshy

well, i like bohemian rhapsody, anyway

8:59 am

Trifioso

Musically I am pretty darn schizophrenic. there is nothing I won't listen to. my Ipod is an real mix

9:00 am

hurshy

no wait is that queen?

9:00 am

MollyL

All apologies...Trif goes Cobain in her response

9:00 am

Trifioso

he's on there.

9:00 am

MollyL

It's Queen

9:00 am

hurshy

i am often not good at identifying which artists go with which songs, because often i just like one or two songs by anybody

9:01 am

Trifioso

along with: abba, sex pistols, human sexual response, Andrews sisters, Kathy mattea, and the Carmina Burana

9:01 am

uusue2

there's a group called Carmina Burana?

9:01 am

rururocks

I hate buying crappy albums for one song

9:01 am

hurshy

actually i was just thinking, now that we are in the age of downloading music, why are artists stlil releasing "albums" - why wait till you have a whole bunch of new songs to release all at once, why not just put each song out as it is ready?

9:02 am

Trifioso

the carmina burana is an opera by Orff, uusue

9:02 am

rururocks

Abba makes me ill

9:02 am

uusue2

ah, that one I know, trif! I thought maybe you were referring to something else (since I am utterly ignorant of popular culture)

9:03 am

Erda

It's not an opera; it's a cantata

9:03 am

Trifioso

LOVE me some abba, ruru! I have BOTH the Mamma Mia soundtracks as well ,broadway and movie.

9:03 am

Trifioso

I stand corrected erda, thank you!!!

9:03 am

Erda

welcome...

9:04 am

rururocks

AaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaah

9:06 am

rururocks

Valentine likes abba too?

9:07 am

hurshy

what songs is abba famous for? then i can know if i like them or not. i know they did the mamma mia music but i did not see or listen to that

9:07 am

Trifioso

dancing queen, waterloo, knowing me knowing you

9:08 am

Erda

<-- never heard anything by ABBA that I know of

9:08 am

MollyL

I am convinced that the muzak in Hell is a continuous loop of ABBA music

9:08 am

Trifioso

how could you avoid dancing queen????

9:08 am

hurshy

i don't think i am very into abba then. i do transform "dancing queen" into "dairy queen" to sing about my cat Mitten. "see that girl, watch her preen, she is the dairy queen..."

9:08 am

rururocks

Me too

9:10 am

rururocks

Abba plays continously in the elevators to hell

9:10 am

Trifioso

the r in the right column is a tricky business....have only found one word from it thus far

9:10 am

hurshy

i like a variety of things - 80s/90s from my own youth, oldies, big band...

9:10 am

MollyL

I thought Barry Manilow was in the elevators to Hell

9:10 am

hurshy

oh ro5, ro5, wherefore art thou ro5?

9:10 am

hurshy

they didn't get the scene right the first time so the re6 it

9:11 am

Trifioso

thanks hurshy!!! now I have three

9:11 am

Trifioso

4!

9:11 am

MollyL

Plural of the where for art thou guy too

9:11 am

hurshy

and cut the end off the re6 for a 4

9:11 am

MollyL

And what you do when you lie down

9:12 am

Trifioso

I love you guys and gals

9:13 am

hurshy

i still want to know what it is about me that seems like i would have a musical edge

9:14 am

rururocks

Well you have an avatar of a cat twerking

9:14 am

hurshy

fyi, i picture everyone here as being young, in shape, and good looking. don't know why.

9:14 am

hurshy

that cat is not twerking, it has a water gun pointed at it in the full photo and it is surrendering

9:14 am

MollyL

Another ro6 ends like the Grand place in Arizona

9:15 am

hurshy

i despise twerking

9:15 am

hurshy

ooh and alt sp of that molly!

9:15 am

MollyL

And the other ro6 is like the weepy vegetable

9:15 am

MollyL

Yeah, that one

9:16 am

MollyL

*Crosses the Miley Cyrus CD off of "Gift List For Hurshy"

9:16 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

9:16 am

hurshy

:D

9:17 am

rururocks

Pictures zucchini in therapy

9:17 am

hurshy

maybe molly should have called it the OGRE vegetable instead

9:17 am

rururocks

Hiya judes

9:19 am

hurshy

ok so 7s are ou7, se7, and...?

9:20 am

rururocks

Io

9:20 am

rururocks

...io

9:22 am

hurshy

hmm i got an io6 but can't pl that

9:22 am

rururocks

Gloves for charged particles

9:25 am

MollyL

Alaskan capital gloves for charged particles

9:25 am

MollyL

Darn, not capital, city

9:25 am

hurshy

juneauionmitts

9:26 am

hurshy

i got it!

9:26 am

hurshy

i see the alaskan city but still no idea how gloves come into play in that word

9:28 am

MollyL

io gloves start, city, one who does suffix

9:28 am

JBsAnno

Oy, oh, no, no, all these o's and y's are making me cross, and cross eyed. Hmmphf!

9:28 am

hurshy

is there a brand of gloves called io or something?

9:29 am

MollyL

It was a clever play on words by Ru. Alas, cleverness seems to fall like a lead balloon in here. Gloves = isotoner

9:29 am

hurshy

ohhh ISOTONER!!!! lol

9:30 am

JBsAnno

Lead balloon rising!

9:30 am

hurshy

are there any MY words?

9:31 am

rururocks

Nope

9:31 am

JBsAnno

No, hursh, no my's

9:31 am

MollyL

Ru, next time go with io + single hump letter + roundy vowel + double hump letter + second vowel + letter

9:32 am

rururocks

You had me at hump

9:32 am

hurshy

aaaaack no don't say that molly

9:34 am

Judi

*snort*

9:35 am

hurshy

there is middle ground between isotoner being a stretch for that word and spellout clues, surely

9:35 am

MollyL

Spell out clues, especially ones with ***s are the favorite around here, unfortunately

9:35 am

rururocks

Wonders what judi is snorting at?

9:36 am

hurshy

ones with ****s are different from describing how the lettters look, don't you think?

9:36 am

MollyL

Yeah, it's usually hump instead of hello in my world

9:37 am

MollyL

No, I don't think. Substituting stars for letters is just another way of spelling them out

9:37 am

hurshy

no, it requires you to be able to fill in what a word is in a sentence. i mean you can do it inelegantly so that it becomes ridiculous, like: beg**ning + **tally awesome or something, but

9:38 am

hurshy

but if i said, show me the *****, for an mo clue (not a word today but a phantom), how is that bad?

9:39 am

MollyL

B*t y**r br*in c*n usu**ly fi** in th* mis*ing letters that the stars are used for.

9:39 am

MollyL

Yes, but why not just say show me the mo5?

9:40 am

MollyL

And trust me, there is an element of the people asking for clues here who would not get either one

9:40 am

hurshy

yes, if people do it like you just did i agree it is ridiculous. but i think it is fine if used the way i did. i could say show me the mo5, but, six of one, half dozen of the other. putting asterisks instead does not automatically make it a stupid clue

9:40 am

hurshy

well yes, i agree with you about that element.

9:40 am

MollyL

But I never used the word stupid

9:41 am

hurshy

there is a point at which you want to say, look, if you don't get it, you don't get it, people do not owe you more and more clues until you have the word.

9:42 am

hurshy

esp when someone targets the original clue giver with a request for more

9:42 am

pabtrek

oe

9:42 am

pabtrek

oops sorry

9:44 am

rururocks

Old macdonald for dyslexics. Pab?

9:45 am

pabtrek

Lol, nope just fingers trying to type to fast.

9:47 am

MollyL

STANDS AND APPLAUDS FOR HURSHY

9:47 am

hurshy

hmm, me? what did i do now :)

9:48 am

MollyL

Your comments about clues, spot on

9:48 am

hurshy

well it is nice to have a chance to say these things where it isn't brought on by someone DOING it and therefore creating hard feelings, hehe

9:51 am

hurshy

and i apologize if i was in any way annoyingly persistent in trying to understand how gloves related to the io7 :)

9:51 am

Judi

You were not annoying, Hurshy. I was scratching my head over that clue as well.

9:51 am

MollyL

Annoying? Never. You are a breath of fresh air around here. So glad you decided to come back.

9:52 am

hurshy

:)

9:52 am

hurshy

i like you too, Molly :)

9:53 am

rururocks

I am annoying

9:53 am

MollyL

And if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, people should not get hard feelings when you refer to it as a duck. But they do.

9:53 am

hurshy

no, you're ruru

9:53 am

MollyL

We have no problem with you, sir.

9:54 am

rururocks

Being a duck around here isn't all it is quacked up to be...

9:54 am

MLFAN17

R stats please?

9:54 am

duck, duck, GOOSE!

Judi is trying to get down

9:57 am

hurshy

hi evanadine :) i still remember when we had an icon theme day that was "green, green for evanadine"

9:57 am

MollyL

Look you all, stop getting people's dander up

9:58 am

EvaNadine

hiya hurshy. still the best color there is. :D

9:58 am

Judi

Time to take a gander at the list.

9:58 am

hurshy

this chat is for the birds...

9:58 am

rururocks

I don't give a flock either

9:59 am

EvaNadine

what are you all squawking about?

9:59 am

MollyL

Some kumbaya person is going to chime in and say we should be kind to our webbed footed friends

9:59 am

crosshair

Crossy tries to peck out a few more words from the grid....

10:00 am

rururocks

Well...better than being stark raven mad

10:00 am

MollyL

It always quacked me up that even though Eva is clearly EvaNadine, marked by the letters, people refer to her as Evan

10:00 am

EvaNadine

seems like youre all up in a flap about something...

10:01 am

crosshair

Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for breakfast!

10:01 am

EvaNadine

there was another babbler named, simply, Eva.
so i became EvaN...then just Evan.
totally quackers.

10:02 am

crosshair

same reason i use Suze for our professors, because there are two others who use the handle of sue in one form or another

10:02 am

hurshy

well once upon a time, wasn't it evanadine without any caps?

10:02 am

rururocks

Yeah.. i gave up on ruruhair a while ago

10:03 am

MollyL

As Billy Joel would say, you'll always be Eva to me

10:03 am

crosshair

lol

10:03 am

EvaNadine

golly, ithink WAAAAAAAAY back in the day, onceuponatime, it may have been!

10:03 am

hurshy

well so yeah then it was NOT clear and so, yeah.

10:04 am

hurshy

then there was also evanonut, who was so named because she was a big fan of janet evanovich.

10:04 am

MollyL

Yes but people referred to her as Nutty

10:04 am

Judi

Beware the nickname your nickname may spawn.

10:04 am

hurshy

yeah

10:05 am

MollyL

We should start calling Judi...Jud

10:05 am

Dianne

Hi all - can I please get a hint for the re6.

10:05 am

hurshy

yeah another friend who doesn't babble but was over on ironsudoku had chosen "btwrt" which was supposed to be for "bethany writes" but which, without knowing that, we read as buttwart

10:06 am

Judi

Ha. I've been called worse.

10:06 am

rururocks

I can go by mr rocks

10:06 am

EvaNadine

behold! the mighty buttwart!

10:07 am

hurshy

she was pretty horrified when she realized that is what we were thinking

10:08 am

MollyL

Sir, we would be happy to refer to you as Mr. Rocks

10:09 am

hurshy

or we could just say, "yeah, he's really got rocks!" a lot

10:09 am

MollyL

He who referred to you as RuPaul has left the building

10:12 am

bichon

We're just having a rollicking old time here

10:12 am

MollyL

It's nice when the chat is fun, instead of stuffy

10:13 am

bichon

Rock on

10:14 am

rururocks

Good riddance i say

10:15 am

aebmusica

fellow babblers...i have a question pertaining to your discussion of cueing words. May I pose this question?

10:15 am

hurshy

pose away

10:17 am

aebmusica

ty.... for a cue for i06...could I give this clue? When it comes to paying taxes I owe n***.

10:17 am

aebmusica

Would this be allowed?

10:18 am

bichon

sure, why not? The worst that could happen is spend a few hours with the cabana boys

10:18 am

hurshy

well that's the thing, there's not "allowed" or "not allowed", obviously people can do what they want, but we've had varying TASTES

10:19 am

aebmusica

Good ...because I love puns and playing with words!

10:19 am

hurshy

those of us who prefer clever and sophisticated clues have at times been called things along the lines of uppity snobs by people who like to say "round letter + straight letter + hump letter"

10:19 am

HarryHood

There are no rules. We are an anarchosyndicalist commune

10:20 am

hurshy

and we have generally refrained from calling them dumb in return

10:20 am

bichon

woot for Harry, a big word

10:20 am

Anniebrook

LOL

10:20 am

Judi

Then again, some of us have no taste (at times).

10:21 am

aebmusica

love that huge word Harry! I just hope they don't put it in a future grid!

10:21 am

Anniebrook

what about chair letter...that's always got to me...grrrrr

10:21 am

hurshy

many's the time i've had to bite my tongue rather than say, "well if you're that stupid maybe you shouldn't be PLAYING word games!"

10:22 am

Judi

lol, Hurshy. Whereby, "DUH" becomes very useful.

10:22 am

bichon

I bite my tongue while I say that to myself.

10:22 am

HarryHood

speaking of stupid....I'm having a heap of trouble with this grid.

10:22 am

aebmusica

No don't say that hurshy...some of us are playing word games to become a little smarter.

10:22 am

MollyL

It is a WORD game. You are supposed to be finding the WORDS in the grid. No being spoon fed, easy, spelled out clues.

10:22 am

hurshy

ok but who else remembers the time when the ditzy Mikey couldn't get ditz after about five gazillion clues

10:22 am

bichon

And sometimes I'm not so swift on the uptake

10:22 am

Judi

*hides spoon behind back*

10:23 am

hurshy

it is fine to play to become a little smarter. i mean, we all learn things here. :) it's the people who never seem to learn that i find hard to cope with.

10:23 am

MollyL

It's great to play word games to become a little smarter. But you don't get smarter by having the word handed to you.

10:23 am

aebmusica

Sorry to have "Rocked the boat again".

10:23 am

hurshy

but many of the people who i found frustrating, also no longer play, so, phew.

10:24 am

hurshy

we are enjoying the sway, aebmusica, no apology needed

10:24 am

MollyL

It is not rocking the boat to ask a question. As long as you are prepared for any answers you might get.

10:24 am

aebmusica

okay...I was going to crawl back into my cave.

10:25 am

MollyL

Rock The Boat, now we are back to bad 70's music

10:26 am

HarryHood

I will hunt you down and hurt you if that song is stuck in my head today.

10:26 am

hurshy

i'm sorry if i made you feel like crawling back into a cave!

10:26 am

aebmusica

I am a teacher, so I am used to many different, humorous, innovative and yes, inane answers.

10:26 am

MollyL

Aeb, I got taken to task for giving a "too easy" clue by one of the Babble Elders. It didn't keep me from playing here, learning and cluing on a different level later on.

10:27 am

MollyL

Ha Ha Harry, love the groovy 70's beat.

10:27 am

aebmusica

This won't keep me away... I've been playing this sine 2006!

10:28 am

rururocks

babble elders sounds like a scientology sect

10:29 am

HarryHood

halfway!!!!!

10:30 am

aebmusica

or a senior citizen help group for those who babble on and on and on.

10:30 am

MollyL

It is a sect of sorts

10:31 am

rururocks

I don't think it's a crime to ask for clues one way or another.. but not incessantly on a daily basis

10:31 am

MollyL

It's one thing to need help, it's another thing to expect other people to solve the grid for you

10:32 am

aebmusica

I don't think I have ever done that.

10:32 am

rururocks

not that I'm aware of

10:32 am

hurshy

i don't think you have

10:32 am

MollyL

And I'm sorry if this offends, but if you can't figure out the four letter words, this may not be the game for you.

10:32 am

rururocks

I've been asking for clues lately ...some of the recent grids have been a little tougher

10:33 am

rururocks

oh.. molly you nailed it.. If you have to ask for clues on a 4.. that is the epitome of laziness

10:33 am

aebmusica

I usually do come on chat that often and when I do I like to add a little humor to it. But the discussion on cluing interested me.

10:33 am

HarryHood

if DIlution is a work, shouldn't lution be a word, or at least monolution? (only half kidding)

10:33 am

hurshy

nobody objects to asking for clues in and of itself!

10:34 am

rururocks

well one did hursh.. but he's not around anymore

10:34 am

MollyL

Oh Ru, we are not allowed to use the word laziness. I mentioned that about people who can't be bothered to spell out words...this is a word game after all...and was taken to task for it here and on Facebook.

10:35 am

aebmusica

I like the word monolution......I think it is a good nonce word.

10:35 am

rururocks

uh oh.. should I go to some kind of bad person penalty box?

10:35 am

hurshy

oh harry i was thinking that about in6/21 today - if we can have the superlative why not the comparative :)

10:35 am

HarryHood

a monolution is asubstance diuted with itself. that is, a pure substance.

10:36 am

MollyL

No sir, everyone here loves you.

10:36 am

hurshy

molly you don't mind about not spelling out things we have to use a lot, though, do you? i mean like pl for plural and stuff

10:36 am

HarryHood

which in6/21 hurshy?

10:36 am

aebmusica

Thanks all...well back to the gird for me...57 left to do.

10:36 am

hurshy

there's only one in6/21 today i think.

10:37 am

HarryHood

thanks for the clue! hah!

10:37 am

HarryHood

got it!

10:37 am

MollyL

There are people here who don't understand what pl means or pt. Not everyone abbreviates. I personally don't abbreviate at all because I love words.

10:37 am

HarryHood

I will need to start using that word.

10:38 am

MollyL

Most new people here don't get what co 6/27 means until someone tells them.

10:39 am

aebmusica

Harry... you use that word already if you use an aftershave cologne.

10:40 am

HarryHood

how so aeb?

10:41 am

hurshy

well sure, and i don't mind explaining things to newbies, but i would find it exhausting to preemptively spell everything out just in case there are any newbies who don't know and can't guess that pl means plural

10:41 am

aebmusica

I believe it has to do with chemicals and ketones that are mixed together to create perfumes(maybe colognes).

10:42 am

hurshy

aebmusica which word are you talking about? i feel like some wires may have gotten crossed here.

10:42 am

HarryHood

aah - the io6. sorry - was thinking of the in6

10:42 am

aebmusica

io6

10:43 am

HarryHood

I had a student with last name io6 once. I think it had more n's in it though.

10:43 am

hurshy

ah that explains it. yeah we were discussing in6/21.

10:44 am

hurshy

(your deepest secrets are your in6 secrets, sometimes this word is made into a 9 letter version)

10:44 am

HarryHood

time to go pick up a child. 71 to go!

10:45 am

kje

clue for last mo6?

10:45 am

hurshy

and i'm off to lunch, ttfn

10:45 am

hurshy

ooh except i was hoping to clue that so

10:45 am

hurshy

if you 've read A Little Prince you know that french for sheep is mo6

10:45 am

aebmusica

Ah..stupid me...I already knew in6, and use it, but I had to search the filing cabinet of my brain for io6(don't use that word very often.

10:45 am

hurshy

or wait, do you have to have read the entirely french version to know that...

10:46 am

hurshy

right aebmusica, i was just saying that if we can say in6 (which is like a superlative) why isn't another in6 (a comparative) also a word. like harry's dilution, lution, monolution thing.

10:47 am

hurshy

so then i think harry was indicating a desire to start using the comparative.

10:47 am

kje

ty

10:47 am

MollyL

I never find it exhausting to spell out words. Have a good day for example. Why not use words to express a good wish? It's just me. Everyone else thinks it too cool for school to abbreviate.

10:47 am

aebmusica

Read it in French intirely and in German also.

10:48 am

hurshy

I'm not that into text speak either, just for babble-frequent things.

10:49 am

hurshy

and i do say LOL... (in fact now when i find something funny, the thing that happens in my brain is "LOL" rather than like "haha" or anything)

10:49 am

aebmusica

I meant entirely!

10:49 am

MollyL

But really, how often are you really laughing out loud when you post LOL?

10:50 am

bichon

I sometimes have trouble with 4 letter words, but not too often. And I never ask for help

10:50 am

MollyL

If I ever start thinking LOL instead of "that's funny" I hope someone shoots me.

10:50 am

hurshy

not always... but that's why LLOL was invented

10:51 am

MollyL

No, LOL and all the other shortcuts were invented for (sorry) lazy typers.

10:51 am

hurshy

but it's come to take on different nuance and connotation

10:52 am

MollyL

Yes, because people can't be bothered to type out whole words anymore. Again, just my take on it, which is not popular.

10:52 am

hurshy

just like other synonyms we have in english, it's nice to have options that can more precisely get at the flavor of what we want to say. i use "hehe" and "lol" for different effects.

10:53 am

hurshy

well you don't have to like them.

10:53 am

hurshy

ah well

10:53 am

hurshy

i am REALLY going to lunch now.

10:53 am

hurshy

ttfn (sorry but that one is from POOH so you really can't talk me out of that one)

10:53 am

MollyL

Thank you Hurshy for having a discussion about this without getting all hissy.

10:54 am

hurshy

yeah no probs - i enjoy discussing things sort of theoretically and dispassionately.

10:54 am

hurshy

i really appreciate that you do also!

Please help me with the re7.

There is no re7

11:32 am

there is no re7----re6---to hit with a bullet again

11:33 am

funny how you can't close the door again but you can shoot a gun again....

11:33 am

Annie - thanks so much. NO wonder I couldn't find it.

11:34 am

Anniebrook

pen, the NRA lobby

11:34 am

penquis

ah...of course....

11:35 am

MollyL

I think it is a tense thing. The door word is past tense. The gun word is present tense.

11:36 am

penquis

the door word can be present tense, too....."**** the door!"

11:37 am

penquis

i am going outside to read a while....bbl to finish....bye!

11:38 am

Anniebrook

I am leaving also, going to play mah jongg..19 left for later

11:39 am

MollyL

If you sh4 the door, it is the same as if you closed the door, both are past tense.

11:44 am

penquis

he sh^^s the door...present tense.... ;o)....i am really going now...bye!

11:46 am

MollyL

Woo, like a dog with a bone...look it up...shut is past tense

11:52 am

bichon

Are we arguing about this?

11:52 am

MollyL

No, not really.

11:54 am

bichon

Sure seemed like it

11:56 am

what tense is "the door is shut"?

11:56 am

thyme

11:58 am

ChrissieDee

Present
I shut
you shut
he shuts
we shut
you shut
they shut

11:59 am

Isn't that using it as an adjective blah?

11:59 am

therealblah

not sure, it was an honest question, but I think you're right

11:59 am

I'm not good at English, stronger at maths subjectd

Douglas

Thinks the dictionary should take off for not having the word ho4/5r

12:35 pm

MollyL

Enable doesn't recognize McKenzie Brothers made up words

12:42 pm

Douglas

That word has a tradition dating back far before the McKenzie Brothers.

12:43 pm

Douglas

That word is far wordier than a lot of words in the dictionary.

12:46 pm

MollyL

Ah, far wordier, yes indeed

12:55 pm

In pre-Zamboni days, the losing team had the responsibility of restoring the ice.

Hello everyone :-) Another late start for me today.Thanks for the io 7!

3:03 pm

MollyL

Wow, the clue master needed a clue?
: D

3:04 pm

zoozzoom

Well to be fair I have only just started :-)

3:06 pm

zoozzoom

And I very often list near the end Not like some babblers who can do these grids with no help at all!

3:07 pm

zoozzoom

46 words in and got all the 7s. They were easy ones tonight!

3:10 pm

MollyL

Zoom...the grid master!

3:10 pm

zoozzoom

Hah far from it but thanks for the thought..lol

3:14 pm

MollyL

Personally, flying through the grid at warp speed would not be fun for me. I like looking for words when I get a chance to sit down and look at the grid, during the day.

3:17 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I tend to agree. I often leave it for a while and come back to it. It is kind of nice to have a game I love playing still with lots of words to find through out the day.Probably why I hate tiny grids.

3:21 pm

mo

Hello all. I am with you Moly and zooz, I lile to go at my own pace and only get help when in great difficulty. (which is quite often ... but do not tell anyone!!)

It never does, Mo, So I am not surprised :-(

3:29 pm

3:30 pm

Yes you are right. Hoping for a nice heatwave this summer. My bones could do with a proper heating up..lol

zoozzoom

That you could not cross your digits on you feet :-)

3:35 pm

mo

blimey ... can you?

3:36 pm

zoozzoom

I am saying digits as TO 4 is in the grid :-)

3:36 pm

zoozzoom

Well if I use my fingers I can..lol

3:36 pm

zoozzoom

They do not stay there very long though.

3:37 pm

mo

well yes so can I, but thats sort of cheating!!"

3:38 pm

zoozzoom

Although saying that...my little digit is always crossed over another one as when I was a child I had tight Sh4s and now they stay that way.

3:38 pm

mo

we seem to have frightened everyone off so I will let you get on unless you need any help.

3:39 pm

zoozzoom

I am sure they are just busy doing the grid :-)

3:39 pm

zoozzoom

No I still have too many to ask for clues.But thank you, Mo.

3:39 pm

zoozzoom

And as usual it is really nice to see you in the chat log :-)

3:40 pm

mo

oooh! I am having trouble with my big toe and the next one ,,,, but that was high heels that caused that.

3:40 pm

mo

nice to see you too ... good luck and good hunting.

3:42 pm

mo

bye everyone.

3:42 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks, Mo.Have a wonderful night :-)

3:42 pm

mo

3:43 pm

Don't look, Zoom is toodling his pips again

3:53 pm

Okay 33 left.Need to rest my eyeballs for a while.Happy babbling everyone.

3:55 pm

Soodle

For those who know our Rubyfoo - i've just spoken to her. It seems that damn breast cancer she sucessfully fought 25 years ago is back in her sternum & one of her ribs. But.... TreT

3:56 pm

Soodle

...treatable...

3:57 pm

MollyL

Thanks Soodle. Ruby checked in here earlier and gave a report on her status. It seems her son is not being very helpful. Damn.

4:01 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :-)

4:01 pm

Soodle

Well, Molly, at least he is in situ! His presence must be some comfort to her. Even though I know Rubes is Jewish - I've had several (Catholic) Masses said for her..... I reckon no harm can be done

4:02 pm

Soodle

Hello Nan :-)

4:04 pm

MollyL

Prayers are prayers, in whatever variety they come. Ruby said today that her son was being critical. That is not what she needs right now.

4:11 pm

Soodle

I'm uncomfortable discussing Ruby's domestic arrangements when she's not here. Suffice to say I spoke with her this evening. She is understandably scared and worried. my thoughts & prayers are with her.

4:12 pm

Dorens

Thoughts and prayers are certainly helpful. Discussing her family less so.

4:13 pm

MollyL

I didn't say anything that Ruby didn't already say when she was chatting earlier. Bichon said that Ruby needs a daughter. I agree. Even though I don't have one. A girl child is much more into their female parent than a boy child.

4:14 pm

MollyL

And now I will leave this conversation since my comments seem to be bothering people.

4:14 pm

Dorens

I've found that we can criticize our family ourselves, but it's less comfortable to hear it from others. That's all.

4:15 pm

Uneaixoise

ditto what Molly was saying -- I was in the chat at the same time -- poor Ruby was saying that her son was being very overbearing rather than helpful :-(

4:16 pm

MollyL

Thank you Une.

4:16 pm

Uneaixoise

Molly's just quoting Ruby . . .

4:17 pm

Dorens

ok, then I'll leave the conversation. I agree with Soodle, though. I've noticed people discussing other people's situations in the past, and it's one thing to give information, another to discuss their family, even if it is quoting.

4:18 pm

MollyL

Okay, I'm sorry I said anything about this. My bad.

4:25 pm

Soodle

Oh for Heaven's sake! Rubyfoo is a regular Babbler. She has recently been diagnosed with cancer. She is in a precarious position with her elderly husband in a country where French is not their first language.

4:26 pm

Soodle

I don't think she needs this bickering.

4:28 pm

MollyL

It's not bickering Soodle. All I did was mention something that Ruby said earlier. Because I feel bad that her support person is not helping her in the way she needs help.

4:35 pm

cybernan

anyone still here - or did everyone go away mad?

4:36 pm

MollyL

I'm not mad Nan. I just don't get why people get so freakin' sensitive about things that were already mentioned in chat.

4:37 pm

cybernan

4:41 pm

TraderKate

4:41 pm

MollyL

4:42 pm

saanichcat

cybernan

4:47 pm

cybernan

5:58 pm

Buttonman

Reader, I have the one before it but I do not know what you me by "if so it describes something with it"

5:58 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Button, It is the same as the TH 5/18 + sometimes vowel.

5:59 pm

Buttonman

Congrats, Buttonman!

6:03 pm

zoozzoom

Not really, TK, I went and read a book for a while..lol

6:03 pm

Buttonman

Thanks Trader and Zoozzoom, see you all later

6:04 pm

TraderKate

at least a book is easier on your eyes;)

6:04 pm

TraderKate

bye b-man!

6:04 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I think it must be the glare of the screen.

6:05 pm

TraderKate

I find that I can't be on the computer too long - my eyes get tired. I try to take a break at least every hour.

6:05 pm

zoozzoom

How are you keeping, TK. Not seen you here for a while.Hope all is well with you :-)

6:07 pm

TraderKate

I've been better; I've been worse.. things are looking up though, thanks for asking. When I'm away, I miss the Babble gang..
How are things on the big Isle?

6:08 pm

zoozzoom

Well now the weather has warmed up a tad. It is not too bad here..lol Glad things are looking up for you :-)

6:09 pm

TraderKate

I think I saw an earlier comment that you were hoping for some warm weather to come your way? has it been cold so far?

6:11 pm

zoozzoom

Yes it has been cooler than usual.The last couple of years we have had a rather hot may/june but it had been rather nippy this year.

6:13 pm

TraderKate

we got a late start to summer here too...April and May were very cold... the temperature is still dropping into the single digits or low teens overnight... but the days have now been quite summery... 28 yesterday

6:14 pm

zoozzoom

Yes we too have similar night temperatures too. Nice to be getting the 28c though! Hope you are enjoying it!

6:18 pm

TraderKate

yes I AM!!! We have had some wonderful sunny days.. though i see some rain on the horizon... we had a heck of a thunderstorm a few days ago.. I saw somments in hte chog - I guess it enveloped most of the US Northeas and Canada I think - the whole house was shaking the thunder was so intense!

6:18 pm

TraderKate

I see my typing has not improved one iota...

6:19 pm

TraderKate

I'm at the library... a lot of the keys don't work well unless you really hit them hard... the enter key is the same...

6:20 pm

zoozzoom

Wow! I think I saw a few babblers talking about those thunderstorms a few days ago. Thankfully here in the UK we do not get too many of those large storms that brew up over your side of the pond.

6:21 pm

zoozzoom

Ha I do typos all the time so I can understand them no worries there :-)

6:21 pm

TraderKate

They are a wonder to watch - I love them if I can watch them safely.. I saw some great shots of lightening hitting the CN Tower in Toronto - stunning!

6:22 pm

TraderKate

Well, some things never change - love me; love my typos... ;)

6:22 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I agree they are lovely to see and to photograph too!

6:23 pm

TraderKate

well, I'm about half way now.. I'm going to take a break for a few minutes and get some air... I'll be back soon.

6:24 pm

zoozzoom

I might be gone when you come back.But it was nice to see you, TK. Hope I see you again soon!

6:24 pm

TraderKate

You'll have to make a trip this way just to take some of those shots....I know it's not your usual thing, but I'll bet you'd do a good storm justice!

6:24 pm

TraderKate

6:25 pm

Lightening is not that hard to photograph really.
