Hello everyone :-)

4:21 am

sprite

hey zooz :) Hello dear man. How are you today? And how are the parents doing?

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Excellent clue for the SP 9 Dtins.Thank you!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

I am well thank you. Parents are doing well also.Going to them soon.How are you keeping?

4:24 am

sprite

I am fine. Today is diploma day for Tim. We try and mold the rest of the day around that, lol. Like um... food... and shopping...

4:25 am

zoozzoom

A special day for Tim today then.I hope lots of photos are allowed to be taken :-)

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Trust normal everday things to get in the way of a special day, Sprite..lol

4:26 am

zoozzoom

You are nearly in the grid today I see :-)

4:26 am

sprite

indeed :) Very nice to see him get that welldeserved piece of paper.

4:26 am

sprite

yeah I am a phantom today, lol

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Does he have to wear those black teacher type gown thing when he collects his diploma?

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Then throw his hat up into the air!

4:30 am

sprite

no, that is not a dutch thing at all. Just his normal clothes. Down-to-earth dutchmen, you know... as the say here, just act normal, you'll be acting strange enough that way as it is.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

lol I am with you all the way on that Spritey :-)

4:31 am

sprite

*grins*

4:33 am

zoozzoom

I am pleased he studied hard and is getting his rewards for it though.

4:34 am

sprite

yeah me too. It is a great feeling to have one kid done with school. Now let's hope he will tackle university with a little more... ummm... steadiness.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Well I suppose that is all you can do is hope.But i am ure he will be fine.Does he know if he has a place at a university that he wants to go to yet?

4:37 am

sprite

he says he is in, yes. We have let him arrange it all himself... a bit of a gamble, but about time he learns.

4:37 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get another clue for the spa, please? Does it work off the spa before it?

4:37 am

sprite

spa?

4:38 am

Marc Freeman

sp4 sorry

4:38 am

sprite

if you are looking for a spa word, you need another grid, marc.

4:38 am

Marc Freeman

haha

4:38 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning sprite. g'day crossy. from a very tired rose

4:38 am

sprite

do you mean a clue for the sp9?

4:39 am

sprite

hey rose! *hugs* my dear friend. Did you survive the paper stress?

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello ((Rose))

4:39 am

grannyrose

yes, with don's help.

4:40 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry again, my request was not very clear. Could I get a new clue for sp9. Does it start with the sp4 before it.

4:40 am

sprite

yay for Don. And a big hug for you... relax... let it go... and sleep it off tonight. How did it all go?

4:40 am

grannyrose

nearly 400 pieces of paper, found, sorted into categories and chronological order.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is a lot of paper work!

4:41 am

sprite

no it does not start with an sp4.
sp + another word for big but change the first vowel and drop the last, then make it a comparative.

4:41 am

sprite

omg rose, that is so evil.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Or try SP + the organ we need to breathe with but change the N for a dif leeter. + more so ending.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Very hard to clue that word.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

letter*

4:45 am

zoozzoom

I still think DTins clue was a great clue :-)

4:45 am

Marc Freeman

got it that to all of you

4:45 am

sprite

yayyy Marc!

4:45 am

zoozzoom

YaY nice one. Marc!

4:46 am

grannyrose

we have travelled over 200 kms today. started at 9am to barrister, then back to doctor's, then to the cemetery, then back to the house for food and drinks, then home in peak hour traffic.

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Good grief no wonder you are so tired, Rose!

4:47 am

sprite

omg rose... you will need a week to recover from that. Make sure you take whatever you need to take to sleep well tonight, darling, please.

4:47 am

grannyrose

arrived home at 6:20pm. needless to say, it was a take-out night for dinner

4:48 am

zoozzoom

No washing up either a win win situation!

4:48 am

grannyrose

* low chuckle * tomorrow is laundry day and don has to be out by 8:20am to help with the church stall.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Well except the cutlery I suppose..lol

4:49 am

sprite

so, postpone laundry day, jeezzzzz. It's a free country, darling.

4:49 am

grannyrose

i am going to practice my imatation of an ostrich, except i will be burying my head in pillows.

4:50 am

sprite

order pizza and you don't need cutlery. Have it precut. And order a bottle of wine and alternate drinking from the bottle... no glasses either.

4:50 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:50 am

sprite

<---- all for the easy life

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Sprite knows how to ive..teehee!

4:51 am

grannyrose

yes, but the wine would be full of boy germs....lolll

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Live*

4:51 am

sprite

ok my dear friends, I have to run. Crazy day today, with the diploma ceremony and festivities.

4:51 am

sprite

hey, you don't have to worry about boy germs anymore, rose... and orally they aren't harmful anyway.

4:52 am

grannyrose

did you finish sprite? dumb question number 693

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Have a great day Sprite!

4:52 am

sprite

um yes, fireflies. Forgot to say it.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Congrats!

4:52 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! please try to have frequent rests dearest. xoxox

4:53 am

Marc Freeman

does the so7 start with the so4 before it?

4:53 am

zoozzoom

says the woman who is close to exhausted herself..lol

4:54 am

zoozzoom

It does, Marc.

4:55 am

Marc Freeman

That was fast congrats

4:55 am

zoozzoom

I still need 43 words.

4:56 am

grannyrose

yes marc. so7. extension of the so4/4

4:57 am

Marc Freeman

I have tried every 3 letter extension and just can't find it?

4:58 am

grannyrose

so4/4 + c***, heal

4:58 am

zoozzoom

Ends in the word- the power of attracting or enticing.

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Keep forgetting the babble freeze time.

5:04 am

Marc Freeman

Finally found it was going in the wrong direction

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a twisty one.

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Well I am leaving my last 38 words for later.Happy babbling everyone.Toodle pips for now!

5:38 am

sukee

Good morning all.

5:40 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee

5:40 am

crosshair

Just getting here myself:)

5:41 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

5:41 am

sukee

Had to step away, hair ball emergency :)

5:42 am

crosshair

I managed to slep in until 06:30. it feels good for a change. Am tired of seeing 05:00 am

5:42 am

crosshair

I know about those emergencies;)

5:42 am

sukee

Right after I gave him his medicine.

5:43 am

crosshair

og course.

5:43 am

crosshair

of*

5:43 am

sukee

I don't think I have to give him more though.

5:43 am

sukee

And right to the food bowl...

5:45 am

crosshair

Of course. they have to reload--Eat, lick themselves for two outs to ingest more hait and they are ready to launch once again:)

5:45 am

crosshair

hours

5:45 am

crosshair

hair

5:45 am

sukee

:)

5:45 am

crosshair

My mad typing skills are are fine form again I see...

5:46 am

crosshair

Good thing I am currently writing for a living or this would be a problem:)

5:46 am

sukee

I think I have been typing too much. Having thumb problems and pain :)

5:47 am

sukee

Saw my doctor and he took an x-ray but I don't think it has a break anywhere.

5:47 am

crosshair

Funny enough, since I hunt and peck and do not touch type, or use the proper finger positioning, I never have any wrist issues . My wrists and hand are never really resting on the desk

5:48 am

sukee

I should teach myself that.

5:48 am

crosshair

Plus, when I am in the zone I can reallu pound out a surprising number of words in a minute:)

5:49 am

crosshair

really

5:50 am

crosshair

lol, I would not advise teaching yourself to be a terrible typist;)

5:50 am

sukee

I have always typed with my wrists resting, which you actually should not do.

5:51 am

crosshair

Nope, my wrists never touch the desk

5:54 am

crosshair

Funny thing but off topic; When they gave me my full, final transcript along with my diploma and certificates, I saw they added all the original high school marks from the 70's up until 1980--Is odd seeing all those 50's and 60's followed by a string of 90-97% marks over three decades later;) Feels good, but looks odd on paper;)

5:55 am

crosshair

I did not know they were going to dredge up those old marks:)

5:55 am

crosshair

I had forgotten that I took keyboarding back then;)

5:55 am

crosshair

That is what make me think of it just njow.

5:56 am

crosshair

now.

5:56 am

sukee

I would be embarrassed by my high school marks. I really didn't apply myself until college. Then graduated with honors.

5:56 am

crosshair

Seems they store it all and never forget;)

5:57 am

sukee

I'm sure it's there somewhere :) I dropped out after grade 10 and then went back and got my equivalency. High school was not a good time for me.

5:57 am

crosshair

Too bad our adult selves never had the chance to go back in time and speak to our teen-age selves.

5:57 am

sukee

Really.

5:58 am

doseffing

... you wouldn't have believed yourself any more than you believed the adults who were talking at you then

5:58 am

crosshair

First thing I would of done is slap myself upside the head to knock some sense into me:)

5:58 am

crosshair

lol, Dose, you are right, of course;)

5:59 am

doseffing

... i see a whole generation of them every day in class

5:59 am

crosshair

I saw so many in the last two years that i fear for our future when they are running the planet:)

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

6:00 am

crosshair

Unlike back when I was in high school the big difference I notice is believe it or not LESS drugs, however the teen girls are pumping out babise as fast as they can.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy!

6:01 am

crosshair

babies

6:01 am

Scrabbler

I see lack of character, lack of respect, responsibility, ambition, work ethic, etc.

6:02 am

sukee

Hi dose and scrabs

6:02 am

crosshair

Out of our original class of 33, we finished with 13 people and out of that 8 passed:(

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I see "perpetual toddlerhood syndrome." i.e. egocentrism, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity...

6:02 am

crosshair

four just passed and the rest applied themselves

6:03 am

doseffing

... it will be a different world ... I went to my daughter's convocation from University College at UofT ... admittedly it's only one group ... but Bachelor of Arts Degrees and Bachelor of Science from one college at one campus was only 12% Caucasian males ... ... B.A was 75% female ... B.Sc was only 50% female but the males making up 35% were Asian

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Sad, Crossy.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Wow, doseffing

6:03 am

crosshair

the work ethic is showing itself by country of origin.

6:03 am

doseffing

... that's the largest university in Canada

6:04 am

sukee

U of T?

6:04 am

doseffing

... I fear that you're correct Scrabbs and Crossy

6:04 am

sukee

Never mind, I see you said that :)

6:04 am

doseffing

... University of Toronto ... Saint George Campus ... downtown

6:04 am

Scrabbler

We are into a second generation of perpetual toddlers. So when kids are parented by toddlers the results are grim---feral kids.

6:04 am

crosshair

Students from out of country are paying big bucks to be there--they will not waste the chance that has been given them.

6:04 am

sukee

Yes, I took some classes there and worked at St. Mike's College.

6:06 am

doseffing

... oh well ... can't save the world or the generation today ... gotta go for a bus ... luck to all

6:06 am

crosshair

what you just said, scrabby may explain the boom in PSW applicants this year. None of these kids with kids can cope any longer

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Kids are not being prepared to succeed as adults. They expect life to be easy and fair, to earn lots of money quickly with very little effort, to be worshipped by others, to be special, because that is what their parents taught them.

6:07 am

crosshair

they toss three different daddies, for their three kids, because the dads cannot step up anyways, and they get a full income for populating the planet.

6:08 am

crosshair

It is sad.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

4 or more kids, each from a different father, and then Mama is living with a different guy every year or less.

6:09 am

crosshair

Yup. Snap

6:09 am

crosshair

Just staying together long enough to get another kid brewing...

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I saw a family yesterday. Between the parents they have 10 kids. But some are with their Mom and then they visit on weekends, and some visit their Dads on weekends. 4 different last names. All of the kids have behavior problems.

6:10 am

crosshair

EVERY class I took or worked as a T.A in had at least 3 pregnancies going on at any given time.

6:10 am

crosshair

Of course they do--no stability.

6:11 am

sukee

Then again, Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant again, with a different guy. And she get paid thousands of dollars to lecture on abstinence.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

It is so sad. I want to have my own orphanage and take in so many kids. They need security, structure, rules, exercise, no screen time, expectations, consequences,...

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I saw that last evening, Sukee.

6:12 am

crosshair

but the very few who did take charge of their lives and step up in school make me very proud.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

I praise and support the hard-working parents and kids. I tell them thatthey are now in the minority and that they give me hope.

6:14 am

sukee

I still don't think the bums are in the majority.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, I must get ready for work. I usually have Fridays off but it is my on call weekend. I am on call til Monday 0800.

6:14 am

sukee

Yes, I have to get going in a minute or two myself.

6:15 am

sukee

Take care all.

6:16 am

HarryHood

halfway! anybody have a clue for the lower i?

6:16 am

crosshair

I was helping one young lady, she was 18 and so beautiful it made your heart hurt sending her out into the hard world. You wanted to protect--her she looked so wispy and ethereal, but she was proud in saying she would not have a family until her education was finished. She laughed when she said she made the boy friend run laps and take cold showers. She nailed her marks, and is heading unerringly towards her goal--a degree in nursing.

6:17 am

crossy, now that you are done reading for class, I can highly recommend Bill Bryson's "The mother tongue, English and how it got that way." I am LOVING it!

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos!

8:55 am

crosshair

No, I have not.

8:56 am

Trifioso

oooh, I envy you then, discovering him for the first time....I might recommend "A walk in the woods" first....

8:57 am

Judi

I think she just told you to take a hike, crossy.

okay....once again the DREADED i words are eluding me.....how I have grown to hate that letter!

Weirdo spelling of Eskimo home

9:02 am

Trifioso

oh hey! NBT - well done me! hahaha

9:03 am

Trifioso

thanks molly - found it just as you entered it - nice psychic cluing!!!

9:03 am

MollyL

in + cremains container, and one similar to that. That

9:04 am

is it for the DREADED!!!!

Scrabbler

"A Walk in the Woods" is such a funny book. Bill Bryson's books are all wonderful.

9:04 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, I just just found out that they have made a movie of that one, with Robert Redford as Bill, and Nick Nolte as the grumpy friend!!!!

9:05 am

Scrabbler

I don't want to watch the movie. Those actors are poor choices for the roles.

9:05 am

Trifioso

thanks again molly. You are so good at cluing. I have NO gift for it. None. Nada. Rien. Nien, dahling

9:06 am

Trifioso

interesting scrabbler - who would you have cast?

9:06 am

Trifioso

I was picturing someone more like John Goodman or George Wendt in the Bryson slot

9:09 am

Scrabbler

I would have to think about appropriate actors. I don't usually watch movies anymore, and rarely if I have read the book. Movies ruin the self-created movie we create when we read the book.

9:10 am

Trifioso

i agree, to a point. I thought Gone girl was very well done.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I think Bill was in his 40's, or maybe 50's, when he did that hike, so younger actors are needed.

9:10 am

Trifioso

and I LOVED the Harry Potter movies, if only for the Quidditch, which I could never sort out in my head

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I did love HP because they created Hogwarts, quidditch, etc in perfect ways.

9:12 am

Trifioso

actually, I heard an interview where the producers consider the visual depiction of Hogwarts a huge failure, because it changed so much with each director. I hadn't thought of it that way, but they have a point - there is no one building you can see and immediately recognize as "Hogwarts" - like you can with Cinderella's castle, or the Eiffel Tower

9:12 am

Trifioso

or the death star, if we are keeping it fictional

9:12 am

Scrabbler

I recall seeing the preview of HP1 and having goosebumps. Hogwarts came alive and it was magical!

9:13 am

Trifioso

the interiors, yes, but they never did settle on one exterior for the place

9:13 am

Trifioso

and yes, I love the HP films. The last one still undoes me

9:14 am

Trifioso

THIS JUST IN ---- as of ten minutes ago, the SCOTUS has ruled that same sex marriage is legal nationwide in the US.

9:15 am

Scrabbler

I am listening on the radio now.

9:15 am

Yaa for the U.S.of A! Glad you could join us:)) Kudos!

9:16 am

MollyL

That is a huge win for gay rights. And of course, we always have to be reminded of how far behind Canada we are.

9:17 am

crosshair

relax molly. was not meant as a sharp barb.

9:17 am

Judi

I always thought we were beneath Canada.

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Canada is more evolved than the US in many way. I bow at your feet, Crossy.

9:17 am

Judi

Geographically speaking, of course.

9:18 am

crosshair

lol, judi.

9:18 am

crosshair

Ok, perhaps I ruffled some feather. I will bow out for now. Sorry if I offended anyone.

9:19 am

Trifioso

Im so excited!!!!

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Stay Crossy!

9:26 am

rururocks

what is the Quittich in Harry Potter?

9:27 am

Scrabbler

A game in which players are on brooms. There is a goal and goalie, several balls. Lots of action.

9:27 am

rururocks

oh.. ok..

9:29 am

Judi

Your homework is to watch Harry Potter movies, ruru.

9:29 am

rururocks

Quittich sounds like a mosquito repellent

9:30 am

rururocks

1:39 pm

TraderKate

are you looking to stay close by, or do you want a change of scenery?

1:39 pm

rururocks

I may have to consider other areas as my ex-wife is now moving to the same town I'm in.. and I want some distance

1:40 pm

TraderKate

uh oh.... sorry about that ruru.... I didn't know...

1:41 pm

TraderKate

I guess it all depends on how small the town is... are there other areas that yiou like (provided you can afford them)?

1:41 pm

rururocks

oh.. it's fine.. we're friends my ex and me.. but I want some distance since this is a smallish town

1:42 pm

TraderKate

understandable.... I hope the house sells quickly for 20% over asking.... good luck with that!

1:43 pm

It will also be nice to not have several house payments

Howdy, Penquis

6:42 pm

My grad pics are finally up on my web site for those who wish a peek. take a gander at my beloved. is she not beautiful?

6:44 pm

penquis

you look mahvelous in your gown!

6:45 pm

penquis

Beloved looks great in her new dress, too!

6:46 pm

crosshair

:) was a very good day:)

6:47 pm

crosshair

It will be my turn to celebrate for her next year:)

6:48 pm

crosshair

She went back after 25 year and is almost finished her courses.

6:48 pm

penquis

very cool!

6:48 pm

penquis

did you study something specific?

6:49 pm

crosshair

More English than anything else. I took two levels of college English, One university writers craft course, and ENG4U University English course.

6:50 pm

penquis

cool!

6:50 pm

crosshair

took some math, and also a law class.

6:51 pm

crosshair

A computer course and a business computer course as well.

6:52 pm

penquis

do you have any plans to go on?

6:54 pm

crosshair

Well, sadly, it is all about the money after this. Continuing on at the college level for what I want is 10K min+ cost of books etc, however my first novel is nearly done and I have submitted stories to a publisher in new York. i also do freelance copy editing work on the side

6:54 pm

crosshair

lol, I would have to copy edit the heck out of what I just posted! lol

6:54 pm

penquis

i understand...the possibility of having something published is exciting!

6:55 pm

crosshair

I will know by the end of this month:)

6:55 pm

penquis

neat!

6:55 pm

crosshair

For every one that makes it there are thousands sent to the paper shredder;(

6:57 pm

penquis

at least!

6:57 pm

crosshair

So, in the end, I write for myself, and i copy edit for money:)

6:58 pm

crosshair

0.02 all the way up to .02 cents per word! lol

6:59 pm

penquis

what kind of things do you edit?

7:01 pm

crosshair

Mostly I edit work done by other authors in a private capacity

7:02 pm

penquis

ah...i am the editor of my state association's newsletter...we only publish three times a year...

7:02 pm

crosshair

Very nice:)

7:02 pm

crosshair

I have some feelers out for copy edit work for CNN online as well. Lord knows they need it! lol

7:03 pm

crosshair

some of the text they post makes a person cringe!

7:03 pm

penquis

too true of a lot of stuff that gets published....

7:04 pm

crosshair

I do not even care about the money atm. just need to get my name out there to as many as possible. i do that by producing quality edit work.

7:05 pm

penquis

sounds good...

7:05 pm

crosshair

Made a whole 100 dollars editing an entire book a month or so ago. Of course i had to sign all kinds of waivers and a non-disclosure form.

7:06 pm

penquis

was it any good?

7:07 pm

crosshair

meh. Not my type of book. But I edit anything and everything for grammar and readability only. I do not have to like it:)

7:07 pm

penquis

true, lol...

7:09 pm

crosshair

I offer suggestions for a passage that does not flow quite right, but i have to be careful to keep my own voice out of the authors work.

7:10 pm

penquis

yes, must be a fine line to walk...

7:10 pm

crosshair

a very fine line. My suggestions must be such that they resonate with his or her writing style.

7:11 pm

penquis

good point...

7:12 pm

crosshair

it is harder than people think to write intentionally with another voice so the reader will never know the difference.

7:13 pm

penquis

oh i can appreciate the difficulty of doing that...
