Lizlin

Hi Dee - thanks for the list yesterday

12:08 am

VolleymomDee

You are so welcome. Great community effort! :)

12:08 am

Lizlin

I always thank everyone, when I finish but that's usually not when you're online.

12:09 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks so much! That is really sweet!

12:10 am

Lizlin

Lots of us couldn't finish without your help and the help of everyone who lists the letters.

12:10 am

Lizlin

ob 7

12:12 am

VolleymomDee

I understand that. I almost always have stragglers, so ru, rose, bro, arb, you, and everyone who calls out stats or helps with missing letters helps me finish, too. Since ARB taught me how to put the finished list in excel to post, it makes it easier to complete when lickety is away.

12:13 am

Lizlin

That's what's so good about this babble community.

12:13 am

VolleymomDee

Helps keep the game fun, and it really becomes a community effort.

12:13 am

VolleymomDee

I totally agree.

12:13 am

ARB

rururocks

12:15 am

VolleymomDee

not at all, ru. I am the queen of the 4 and 5 letter words. I am just good at watching the chog.

12:17 am

VolleymomDee

What I find really interesting is how some combinations of letters on a grid are so much easier for me than others. Some I just don't see, and others just pop out like a beacon... really interesting how that works.

12:18 am

rururocks

bo8

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

Is the co 9 related to the co 8?

rururocks

<--remembers some biology after all these decades :D

12:35 am

cybernan

VolleymomDee

12:42 am

cybernan

ty dee - haven't seen either of those before

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

yw

12:43 am

cybernan

no def. for the 9 of course. I fail to understand how a word is accepted when enable doesn't have a def for it

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

Isn't that the truth?!

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

12:50 am

3:02 am

rubyfoo

Good morning

3:02 am

3:02 am

sprite

3:02 am

rbud

hi, ruby

3:02 am

rubyfoo

Does that mean I have to remove the wreath? i4D LIKE TO KEEP IT ALL YEARÂ§

3:03 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for shouting

3:03 am

sprite

lol by all means, keep it there. If it makes you happy!

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I'll add hearts for Valentine's day

3:04 am

rubyfoo

How is everybody?

3:04 am

sprite

see, there you go. After that, add eggs and chicklets for easter. A torch for pentecost. Then a nice bikini for summer.

3:05 am

sprite

am ok. Bit of a bumpy night again, so feeling tired. But it should be an easy day today.

3:06 am

sprite

was your day yesterday as good as you predicted?

3:07 am

rubyfoo

I had a 3-hour nap yesterday -- glorious and much-needed after exhausting Tues

3:07 am

sprite

awesome! So rewarding, good naps.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

after having that positive bne scan, I felt greatly relieved

3:08 am

sprite

I bet. Such good news. You did well in healing and battling the cancer through all the ordeals, ruby.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

one less thing to worry about

3:09 am

rubyfoo

It's not over and will be treated as something chronic, but, "enfin", I am very Lucky!

3:10 am

sprite

if it is under control, it is cause for celebration for sure. You just hang in there :) And enjoy the peace and quiet of being able to take a long nap, even though you worry about Burt too.

3:12 am

rubyfoo

not so worried about him. He's in the best possible place and our family doctor (who came here yesterday), visits him regularly

3:12 am

sprite

good. He couldn't have better care.

3:12 am

rubyfoo

I am looking forward to Spring!

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I think I did my best and the nursing home is purported to be the best one

3:13 am

sprite

you did more than your best, and way longer than you should have. We all know it.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

I've also given writtn instructions for his care, i.e. no extraordinary measures, do not resuscitate, hospital only for broken bones and no more tests

3:15 am

sprite

very good. He should have peace, as much of it as is possible.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

I visit once a week and pay a friend the visit 3 times

3:15 am

sprite

I think you struck a nice balance with that

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I have to take care of myself and, except for the pain, I do more, eat better and have more energy

3:17 am

sprite

good job there, ruby

3:20 am

grannyrose

*munching on my last bit of steak* {{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. {{hugs}} darling ruby.

3:20 am

sprite

good evening, dear friend *hugs rose* How did your day go?

3:20 am

rubyfoo

((rosie))

3:21 am

sprite

phantom: pacifies. Also forbid, but I think that is a general one.

3:21 am

grannyrose

out for coffee with june, and that's it....oh, i did the dirty laundry, but don hung it out and brought it back in.

3:21 am

sprite

you are doing so well in pacing yourself!

3:22 am

rubyfoo

brava, rosie!

3:22 am

grannyrose

did you sleep well again sprite?

3:22 am

sprite

nope. Bumpy night. Bad dreams.

3:24 am

grannyrose

awwww gentle hugs for you (extra )

3:24 am

sprite

phantom: diligent. Trust me to spot biggie phantoms, but never biggies!

3:24 am

sprite

thanks darling. Can use them today. But no chores needed for today, just a bit of computer stuff for rob.

3:26 am

grannyrose

btw, sprite, did you re-schedule your dietician's appointment? i know you cancelled the last one.

3:27 am

sprite

lol yes, did I tell you the drama around that?

3:27 am

grannyrose

no... do tell, please

3:27 am

sprite

phantom: placid

3:28 am

sprite

I called, the apt. desk lady said she couldn't reschedule. Because they rescheduled once already. Yes, I said, because you needed to, not on my request. No matter, she said, I cannot reschedule

3:29 am

sprite

ok, I said, then what?
You have to come, she said.
I said, I can't. So what do you propose?

3:29 am

grannyrose

oh for goodness sake!

3:30 am

sprite

She didn't know. Told me to call the dietician. Gave me the number. I called it, got Radiology. Who gave me the _right_ number. I called it. Got a recording telling me to... you guessed it... the apt. desk lady!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

that's outrageous!

3:31 am

sprite

so I did. She said the apt couldn't be rescheduled. I told her I didn't mind them doing it without me, but to note that I wouldn't be present.

3:31 am

grannyrose

oh.....my.......goodness.

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I'm angry on your behalf!

3:32 am

sprite

so... guess who called me on the time of the apt? Exactly, the dietician. Where I was! I explained and she sighed, and said it wasn't the first time this happened. I have a new apt on the 20th now.

3:32 am

grannyrose

talk about a run-around sprite. it's a wonder that person is still breathing.

3:32 am

sprite

I wasn't angry at all. It was so ridiculous I couldn't stop laughing.

3:32 am

grannyrose

i hope she gave the apt. lady a mouthful.

3:33 am

sprite

I have no doubt she did, lol. In my experience, dieticians are not shy in speaking their minds.

3:33 am

grannyrose

it was one of those situations. you either laugh or cry.

3:34 am

sprite

yeah it was. Even a year ago, I would have been livid and frustrated. I am happy that I could laugh it off this time.

3:34 am

grannyrose

good for you sprite. i am proud of you.

3:35 am

sprite

and you should have heard the apt lady pant when I told her to go right ahead without me, grin

3:36 am

grannyrose

i bet she did. there's nothing like a determined dutchy. i wish i had been a fly on the wall.

3:37 am

sprite

lol yeah that would have been fun. You'd have laughed. Ah well, all is well that ends with a rescheduled appointment.

3:39 am

sprite

phantom: venison. Ugh, so many biggie phantoms!

3:39 am

grannyrose

so what was she on about then? what was her reasoning i wonder? some people just should not be allowed contact with the public.

3:40 am

sprite

I bet someone told her to not reschedule twice, because it might show lack of motivation for the operation and after-life. Some people learn a rule and then strictly adhere to it.

3:41 am

grannyrose

hmmmph

3:42 am

grannyrose

where's our ruby gone? did my squirrel escape again?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I was "listening"

3:43 am

rubyfoo

Hakf, but nothing bigger than a 6!

3:43 am

sprite

*giggles* give rose back her squirrel, ruby

3:43 am

grannyrose

*giggle* hugging you ruby love

3:44 am

sprite

I just found my first 7, with only 38 left. Nothing over yet.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

my maiden name is in here, li** (ruby, a maiden???)

3:44 am

grannyrose

it's not a nice grid at all.

3:44 am

sprite

and with that, I found a 8/9 combo

3:45 am

grannyrose

yahoo sprite. nice

3:45 am

sprite

lol fair maiden ruby

3:47 am

rubyfoo

hmph, wifi not a word

3:47 am

sprite

the combo I found is of compounds, ruby, if that helps

3:47 am

sprite

wifi is not a word because internet is not a word, lol. Our enable version is wayyyy behind the times.

3:47 am

grannyrose

sending you a paladin, ruby, or a chevalier if you prefer.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

either one would do nicely

3:49 am

rubyfoo

now, some stats for the biggies, please

3:49 am

grannyrose

*giggle* white horse or gleaming black?

3:49 am

sprite

ta8/50 - 9/66

3:51 am

rubyfoo

white, pls. It is really nasty today -- windy, drizzling, cold but it's probably snowing in the neighboring mtns

3:51 am

grannyrose

hokay, putting your order in..

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I'm supposed to see Burt today, but reall don't feel like it. Bad, selfish Nel

3:53 am

sprite

co8/65 is another compound.
co9/78 is 3rd person singular to a verb

3:53 am

sprite

taking good care of yourself is in the end the best for Burt too, ruby.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I don't think he knows how long it iz between visits and the doctor said he thought B was OK

3:56 am

grannyrose

what sprite said. if you don't look after you, you won't be well enough to help burt. take the day off i say.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I'll call the helper and have her go alone

3:58 am

sprite

ah, noblesse ob6/7, nice one

3:58 am

sprite

good girl, ruby!

3:59 am

grannyrose

good for you ruby.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

all arraned, wood added to fire, Rufe is at my feet and after she sees B., she'll take me to the pharmacy where I'll stock up on my meds

4:05 am

grannyrose

yay ruby. now toast those toes.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

toes are good; fingers very cold

4:06 am

sprite

you should have a pair of those half-gloves, ruby.

4:06 am

sprite

phantom: alpaca

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I do, FM sent them years ago, but it's the tips that go numb

4:07 am

rubyfoo

not a big deal, though, don't worry

4:08 am

sprite

hm don't know a solution for that, right away

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I trid "paca" nada

4:09 am

grannyrose

how about a hot water bottle on your knee? rest your fingers on it every now and again.

4:10 am

sprite

oh, good idea, rose

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I can just picture it: wet knees, wet socks, wet slippers and, worst of all and most stinky, wet Rufie! LOLOLOL

4:11 am

rubyfoo

Maybe if I type faster, fingers will warm up

4:11 am

sprite

um but ruby, you actually are to close the bottle before putting it on your knee

4:11 am

grannyrose

oh dear....your hotty not new?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

ya think?

4:12 am

sprite

no shit, sherlock!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

no, I just lack trust...

4:12 am

grannyrose

do you need a new one ruby?

4:12 am

sprite

bo8 is another compound

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I am sitting here chuckling like a fool

4:13 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:13 am

rubyfoo

No, I only used this one once, when it was new, and had to change the sheets after LOL

4:14 am

rubyfoo

Actually, the fire is so hot, that I'm beginning to glisten (too ladylike to sweat -- NOT!)

4:14 am

sprite

sounds like a bad one. Get a new rubber one, fill it, hang it upside down over the sink for a while. If that doesn't drip, put it on your knees in future

4:15 am

rubyfoo

you guys are too sweert, worrying about old me!

4:15 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word ta4 the mexican snack.

4:16 am

sprite

it's because you're old that we worry... oh no, it is because we love you that we worry!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I have 47 left, but don't care. I feel happy

4:16 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

4:17 am

sprite

happy trumps fireworks every time

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I look so awful, that when I went to a funeral in the village Church on Monday, I middle-aged woman gave me her seat!

4:17 am

sprite

terra is lying at my feet, and sometimes he yawns and stretches and pushes my feet off the pillow, lol.

4:18 am

grannyrose

and so she should have. a little show of respect is good.

4:18 am

grannyrose

awww sweet sprite

4:18 am

sprite

very good, ruby. Receive it in gratitude, and don't think it is because you look awful.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

My friend's son fincally succumbed to his cancer last week, at home, with his valiat mother, my friend Maryse, there 'til the end

4:19 am

rubyfoo

valiant*

4:19 am

grannyrose

how dreadful ruby. she must be shattered.how old was he?

4:19 am

sprite

so sorry to hear that, ruby. But a good thing he could die at home.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

He was only 37 but the cancer was vicious and he never had a chance.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

He was only 37 but the cancer was vicious and he never had a chance.

4:20 am

sprite

I am gonna cuddle up on the couch with a blanket. I feel like indulging mysef today. *hugs* to you both. Ruby, have a lovely day. And rose, enjoy your evening, sleep well and have a good day tomorrow.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

5:47 am

zoozzoom

But it is like pulling teeth!

5:47 am

5:53 am

JBsAnno

1:16 pm

I've spent a lot of time there, mostly in the 9th, just north of the Palais Ro-ale

1:16 pm

Aloyisius

we felt very safe when we visited .. 3 years ago? explored, took the subway, walked all over.. loved it

1:17 pm

hego

Bill got his pocket picked. Not magical.

1:17 pm

I've always felt safe there from violent crime... though the pick pocketers are very talented

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I loved it, too, but would be very reluctant ogo now

1:17 pm

Aloyisius

we were warned about that, so we wore money wallets strapped underneath our clothing

1:18 pm

hego

We loved it anyway.

1:18 pm

kje

I caught one once with his hand in my friends purse and yelled at him... he nonchalantly walked away with his friend. Didn't get anything - just a slice of paris life

1:18 pm

Aloyisius

one of our friends had his pocket picked on the subway

1:18 pm

beggar women in subway corridors with swarms of children picking pockets

Aw! I love spaniels. I have 3 dogs. 1 of them is only 6 1/2 months old and so full of herself!

2:21 pm

Atalante

Loki is just 2 and very much a teenaged brat

2:22 pm

Atalante

what sort do you have?

2:22 pm

I have 2 Italian whippet brothers and a staffie chi cross. The staffie cross is the baby

2:23 pm

medusa

The boys are 2 1/2 ish

2:23 pm

Atalante

oh wow, gorgeous :)

2:26 pm

medusa

They are. Purl, the pup, is more staffie than chi. She is a monster. A cute one though. The boys were 14 months when I got them. They were not house trained or socialised. They are much better now but it is an on going thing.

2:28 pm

Atalante

oh gosh, that must have been hard work

2:29 pm

medusa

It is but other than that they are very sweet boys. Thing they might have been abused too. The first time I picked up the leads to take the boys out George cowered in the corner of the sofa and would not look at me.

2:32 pm

Atalante

thats so sad :( poor darling!

2:33 pm

medusa

I know. Broke my heart to see. He goes nuts now when he sees his lead. I went and got them new different colour ones as soon as I could.

They are totally different dogs now. They will bark at strangers then after about 5 mins will then go to say hi.

Loki does the same with strangers - he was bitten really badly by a collie when he was a year old and ever since then he always barks first (while wagging his tail!) before making friends

2:42 pm

medusa

lol. Bless him. I have had Purl since she was 8 weeks old. She is a totally different dog. When she sees someone she pulls like mad to get to them. Her tail goes nuts and she will whimper to say hi. It is quite sweet. lol

2:43 pm

medusa

I don't see why people think it is fine to abuse such a sweet animal. Makes me so mad. Alfie's best friend is my cat.

2:44 pm

medusa

is there a clue for the co8 please?

MollyL

The person with the best experience qu9 (plural) for the job. Make it a co word

4:29 pm

MollyL

The person with the best credit score and the down payment qu9 for the loan. Make it a co word.

4:32 pm

zoozzoom

Very hard to find a definition for the CO9 anyone got one?

4:34 pm

MollyL

It has to do with vegetable matter becoming co4 of increasingly higher rank with anthracite being the final product. (co4 and anthracite are not the same thing)

4:35 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah that was the only one I could find in the merriam-webster.

4:36 pm

It ended in cation though. ut I suppose it means the same thing.

Someday, in the happy, sappy future, people will stop wanting to be "slapped with a fish" here and then they will just laugh that they missed an easy word. (Dreaming)

5:19 pm

penquis

conjunction?...is there another e word?

5:20 pm

Douglas

Well, that's certainly not a word I use everyday, and when I do use it, it's with the five-letter spelling.

5:21 pm

sorry - multitasking here --- eg + conjugation of to be

5:21 pm

6:00 pm

MollyL

No, not really, just some words

6:03 pm

MollyL

I guess i'll never get over the "language" here. With some grids, people say "plural and past tense everything" which doesn't necessarily apply. The one that really makes me laugh is "thought I tried that". Well, if you did, wouldn't you already have the word?
