2:44 am
sprite
hi Liz :) wb and *hugs*. Checking email now...
2:46 am
sprite
not yet there... some slow server along the way, probably :)
2:47 am
Lizlin
I attached 4 pics from today - perhaps that slows it down.
2:47 am
sprite
probably. It will reach me soon :)
2:47 am
Lizlin
How are you today?
2:48 am
sprite
I am fine. Relaxed and no pain. And you?
2:48 am
Lizlin
Also fine. Had a lovely day - but the email tells you that!
2:49 am
sprite
awesome, can't wait to see it
2:49 am
Lizlin
Hating this grid though.
2:49 am
Lizlin
Wow! I've built it up and it's not that special.
2:50 am
sprite
this grid went fast as can be for the first third, and then it was a lady dog to get it past halfway.
2:50 am
Lizlin
It hasn't gone fast at all for me. Down to 45 now and totally stuck. The list isn't helping me much either.
2:50 am
sprite
ouch, that is nasty
2:51 am
Lizlin
I guess sometimes it helps to take a break - but it didn't this time.
2:52 am
sprite
some grids are like that. They test our perseverance, lol
2:52 am
sprite
perseverence... perseverance... hmz... now they both look wrong
2:52 am
Lizlin
I will persevere a bit longer then come back tomorrow and perhaps resort to playing dictionary babble!

Morning! I am still in bed but hope to hear both about the job I interviewed for and the house I put an offer on
2:55 am
sprite
wow exciting times, matty. *keeping fingers crossed*
2:55 am
Lizlin
Oooh! Exciting times. Wishing you huge amounts of luck for both. Where is the house?
2:55 am
sprite
snap, Liz ;)
2:55 am
mattygroves
My fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes....everything's crossed. The house is in Wraysbury which is near Windsor. It's about 50 minutes on the train into London
2:56 am
Lizlin
I know Windsor but not Wraysbury. I used to live in Barnet.
2:56 am
sprite
sounds good
2:58 am
mattygroves
Aaah! Currently, we live in Isleworth which is right under the flight path. The planes leave skid marks on the flat
2:58 am
sprite
must drive you bananas
2:59 am
Lizlin
I know what you mean. Family used to live in Barnes - similar skid marks.
2:59 am
mattygroves
You get used to it
2:59 am
mattygroves
But it would be nice to get unused to it!
2:59 am
Lizlin
Hopefully that will happen very soon.
2:59 am
mattygroves
Is it me, or is this a tough little grid?
3:00 am
mattygroves
I only have 45 words so far and nothing bigger than a 5
3:00 am
mattygroves
Though I've not been working on it long
3:01 am
sprite
it is a tough grid for me too
3:01 am
Lizlin
I have 45 left but missing 5 x 7s and loads of 6s - like I said, hate this grid.
3:01 am
sprite
I was past halfway without any 7s
3:01 am
Lizlin
Not even looking right now - just chatting.
3:02 am
sprite
still no email, btw. It is taking the long way home.
3:02 am
Lizlin
Hmmm! That really is taking a while.
3:03 am
Lizlin
I could try resending - it might be quicker.
3:03 am
sprite
yeah, unusually long. But it will get there eventually.
3:04 am
Lizlin
If it hasn't arrived by this evening - your time - let me know and I'll resend.
3:04 am
mattygroves
Can I have the stats for the J pleaes?
3:04 am
sprite
I will, thanks Liz
3:05 am
Lizlin
Actually a word I have.
3:05 am
mattygroves
Thanks! That did it. The Js are history (hah!)
3:06 am
sprite
lickety to the rescue for the last 25
3:06 am
Lizlin
Go, sprite!!
3:07 am
sprite
not much going going on here, lol. More like stumbling and fumbling
3:08 am
Lizlin
Yay! Just spotted a Hebrew word ul 5/14
3:08 am
sprite
thank you :) What does it mean?
3:08 am
mattygroves
And that gave it to me too - thanks!
3:09 am
Lizlin
It's a school for intensive study of Hebrew - when immigrants first go to Israel they often study at an ul 5/14
3:09 am
sprite
awesome... who knows, some day, in another life...
3:10 am
Lizlin
How about ha 5/20 in return? The point score should help but it doesn't.
3:10 am
sprite
oh yeah that ga7. Took me ages the last time it was in a grid too
3:10 am
sprite
it is like what you do after a good joke
3:10 am
Lizlin
Don't have that either. Only have ae 7
3:12 am
sprite
the ga7 is a mineral
3:12 am
sprite
the ha5 rhymes with what you do after a good joke
3:13 am
Lizlin
Thanks - have that now. I get the ending for the mineral but I'm just not seeing words this evening.
3:13 am
sprite
yeah it takes an unexpected 3rd letter.
3:14 am
Lizlin
I'll get there eventually. I hate being beaten by words.
3:15 am
sprite
good grief. Even with the list it is like pulling feathers from a frog
3:15 am
mattygroves
Looking for the ga7
3:16 am
Lizlin
Still haven't found it and I'm trying all sorts of weird combinations.
3:16 am
mattygroves
Ditto!
3:16 am
sprite
cryptic def would be: mineral made of teen speak
3:16 am
mattygroves
Found it, I think!
3:16 am
mattygroves
The first three letters is a sound I make when I work on this grid :)
3:16 am
sprite
wtg both of you!
3:17 am
sprite
lol indeed, matty
3:17 am
mattygroves
Now the AE7....
3:17 am
Lizlin
I'm taking a break - down to 42 - which is the answer to everything. Enjoy your days and lots of luck Matty. Hugs.
3:17 am
sprite
the ae7 is a regular in our grids. Won't take you long time to fine
3:18 am
sprite
bye Liz *hugs* and have a lovely evening
3:18 am
mattygroves
I seem to have a mental block with vowel words. One of these days I'll remove it :)
3:18 am
Lizlin
Hope the email arrives soon :)
3:18 am
sprite
vowel words are harder, for some obscure reason
3:18 am
sprite
well finally. Fireflies :)
3:18 am
sprite
it will, Liz, I have faith :D
3:18 am
Lizlin
Congrats - glad I didn't go immediately.

I am just starting the grid. seems like a tough one :(
5:22 am
mattygroves
I am on the list and still have 50 to find - losing the will to live (or at least to grid)
5:23 am
crosshair
lol, You listing at 50 tells me everything I need to know about this grid before I even get rolling with it :(
5:26 am

Even the list isn't helping all that much :(

NEW YORK — The New York Mets, stinging from a costly loss, mauled the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 13-7 on Monday to move within one win of reaching the National League Championship Series.
5:58 am
mattygroves
That's according to the NY times
5:58 am

I would love to see a World Series with the Jays and Mets.
5:59 am

If Toronto wins, they go on to play the winner of the Astros and Royals series, then face the winner of the National league.
6:07 am

Nice song, I am definitely rooting for them to get to the World Series.
6:07 am

Not to win mind you :)

I'm still not seeing that ma7 - sorry!
6:57 am

I am enjoying it, surprisingly enough. Was the last thing i ever thought I would be doing in this life :)

6:59 am
Lizlin
Still hoping.
7:00 am

Since most do not know subdivision of a legion that is why I clued it the way i did. yes, always new words to discover:)
7:00 am
Lizlin
Have you got the ma 5 before the ma 7?
7:00 am

As far as I know, this is the dictionary Dr. God uses, the Enable dictionary - http://everything2.com/title/ENABLE+wo\nrd+list

I think it is an old word list that doesn't get updated. lots of newer words are not accepted.. one of the trails of babble.. but it keeps it interesting. (and laways a talking po 5/12)
