If you have henchman, why can't you have hench?
3:08 am
Gillie
Apparently, the "hench" in "henchman" comes from the old English "hengest", meaning stallion, and "henchman" probably originally meant groom.
3:15 am
Glantarell
I suspect that Hengest is actually Welsh, rather than old English, as 'hen' is the Welsh word for old and gest has several meanings
3:15 am
Glantarell
But then Welsh was once the language of the whole of Britain, so in one sense it is 'old English', or perhaps pre-English :)

hi Glant! Hope you are well?
3:41 am
Glantarell
Yes, mostly, although it seems I may have an inflamed gall bladder/gallstones
3:42 am
sprite
ouch :( That sounds so very painful.
3:43 am
Glantarell
It is more discomfort and mild pain at the moment. I believe it can get very painful indeed. The wait for an ultrasound scan to confirm what is going on is currently 26 weeks :(
3:43 am
Glantarell
So I am drinking apple cider vinegar all day in the hope of stimulating bile and/or dissolving stones (if there are stones)
3:44 am
sprite
oh my that is long. Can't your insurance mediate for a shorter waiting time in another hospital?
3:45 am
Glantarell
No insurance, health services are free in UK, but waiting times are often long. Doctor said if it starts getting really painful then he will hassle them to make me a higher priority.
3:46 am
Glantarell
So far I am managing discomfort without painkillers, but have noticed it is worse when I am sitting, must put pressure on gall bladder. I had blood tests a couple of weeks ago and know liver function is fine.
3:47 am
sprite
that at least is a good thing
3:48 am
Glantarell
Yes, a very good thiing. And as my first thought was bone cancer, gall bladder seems mild by comparison LOL
3:49 am
sprite
LOL indeed
4:04 am

all the best, Glant, and have a lovely day

Morning all! Is it me, or is this a tricky grid?
4:06 am
sprite
hiya matty :) Looks like it. Only have one 7 so far and I am over halfway. How are you doing?
4:06 am
mattygroves
I'm not yet halfway - I have nothing bigger than a six and only two of those. Every word seems to be a struggle! Ah well, that's how it goes.
4:07 am
sprite
some grids are like that
4:08 am
mattygroves
Yarp. I have just seen French friends of Jeff's off - then tonight we have a friend around to cut our hair and then the pub quiz. tomorrow a birthday party and then on Saturday we're seeing Fairport Convention (a folk band from which I get my username) so it's all go at the moment
4:08 am
sprite
pretty sure the bottom left E must be a biggie. Not seeing it though... will in time, no doubt
4:08 am
mattygroves
I found that E!
4:08 am
sprite
sounds like you are having a good time!
4:09 am
mattygroves
We are, but it's nice to have a rest at the moment :)
4:09 am
mattygroves
Do you have stats for the Q?
4:10 am

trade you for stats on that E!
4:10 am

4:10 am

ah thanks! A biggie it is...
4:10 am
mattygroves
And I found that Q now. Obvious when pointed out :)
4:11 am
sprite
yay matty!
4:11 am
mattygroves
The E is a 'real' word.
4:11 am
sprite
ok that is good to know
4:12 am
sprite
ah, found it, thanks again
4:12 am
mattygroves
Hurrah! :)
4:13 am
MollyL
Okay, I have to ask. Why groves instead of grooves?
4:13 am
mattygroves
Matty Groves is a folk song. It's about adultery and murder - a young man called Matty Groves goes to church and is seduced by the Lord's wife. It doesn't end well for anyone.
4:14 am
sprite
I knew going to church was risky
4:14 am
MollyL
Ah, I thought you were referring to the record label
4:15 am
mattygroves
https://youtu.be/79SmlOBvMus
4:16 am
MollyL
I know the label, not the song. I am not familiar with British folk music.
4:16 am
mattygroves
As it happens, the record label was started by Fairport Convention. So it all comes round :)
4:17 am
MollyL
Grove, groove, grooving in a grove...or grooving about a grove. It does all come around.
4:19 am
sprite
grovelling grover put the mooves on the grooves
4:21 am
sprite
yay, that put that song right into my head :)
4:22 am
mattygroves
It's a good song!
4:22 am
sprite
3 of the biggies are related, matty. Just found them.
4:22 am
mattygroves
Oooh - may I ask what they start with?
4:23 am
sprite
of course. Au
4:23 am
mattygroves
Ooh, found two of them - looking for the third
4:24 am
mattygroves
Found the third. Hurrah. So I have the 9, the 10 and two of the 8s, but no 7s!
4:24 am
sprite
one of the 7s can be put into soup or salads
4:24 am
mattygroves
Got it! Finally nbt/nbs :)
4:24 am
MollyL
Thanks to Dee for posting a list. As usual, it is copied into my profile if that helps anyone.

4:26 am

Oh, I guess Lickety is broken today....sigh :( Never mind - I'll have things I need to do anyway :)

Goodness it's windy here today (and no, I've not been eating beans)
4:27 am
mattygroves
Ah yes. Don't let the game get you down ;)
4:29 am

stormy here as well. And rain. Must walk Terra but we both don't feel like it. Terra loves storm but does't much like heavy rains
4:30 am
mattygroves
It's fairly bright here but VERY windy

4:33 am

I would LOVE to go to Italy! I always discussed it with Mr. HAte, but he always dismissed it, out of hand, no way, so we never went. Guess where the little sh^t went on his honeymoon?

ca 7 - automobil + the name of a deep yellow orange colour without the last consonant

God! I'm exhausted reading through the recent chat.
5:01 pm
Nef
Good afternoon, everyone. We are awaiting a snow storm and the furnace repairman. :-/
5:02 pm
Soodle
(((Nef))). I hope the repairman comes before the storm...
5:04 pm
Soodle
Until I watched Fargo on Netflix, I had no idea just how cold Minesota was. I watched it in bed, with electric blanket on, & still felt chilly!
5:05 pm
Nef
Me too Soodle. We've had temps up to the 60's (F) for 3 days & now we may be getting a snowstorm of anywhere from 5- 12 inches - or 1 to 5 inches (depending on where you look at the forecast I guess).
5:06 pm
Soodle
Do you have any heat at all Nef?
5:07 pm
Nef
LOL, Soodle! I've never seen Fargo (I don't think I could stand the nightmares after watching it); but I don't know how honest that movie was.
5:08 pm
Nef
No. It's 65 degrees in here now (The repairman just called; he said he'd be here before 10 PM!)
5:10 pm
Soodle
Oh, I totally binged on Fargo the last week or so. Excellent yarn!!
5:12 pm
Nef
I grew up in northwestern MN (70 miles south of Canada & 50 miles east of North Dakota); & it would get down to -40 (F) when I was a child. It still can get to -30 below; but there hasn't been much of the lower temps in recent years up there. (& I moved down to the Twin Cities -Minneapolis & St. Paul - for the warmer weather. ;-)
5:12 pm
Soodle
Well - hopefully he will arrive on time. Hopefully he can fix your furnace. Hopefully he wont charge you an arm and a leg. Fingers crosed
5:14 pm
Nef
We pay for a service through our energy bill; and it has come in handy over the years; so there shouldn't be any charge unless it's really something unusual. The furnace is only 10 years old, so I'm not expecting any surprises
5:14 pm
Soodle
Nef - Your describing living in those temperatures is like telling me you lived underwater. I simply cannot imagine living in that cold.
5:14 pm
Nef
How are you doing, Soodle?
5:15 pm
Nef
If you dress warm & you take precautions, it isn't so bad.
5:15 pm
MollyL
Oh dear Soodle. Sorry the recent chat has exhausted you.
5:16 pm
Soodle
I'm good thanks, Nef. Laid low with a nasty lung infection for a week or so, but bouncing back now! Was unable to visit aged parents due to fear of infecting them, but hopefully back to normal at weekend.
5:17 pm
Nef
Are your parents doing better now?
5:18 pm
Nef
So many people have had some very nasty bugs this winter, haven't they?\
5:19 pm
Soodle
Nef. Mom is 85 & Dad is 89. Improvement is unlikely. Status quo is what we hope for!
5:20 pm
Nef
I thought one of them was sick recently?
5:21 pm
Soodle
Both have been sick!!
5:22 pm
Nef
Oh!! And I hope all 3 of your have sufficiently recovered?
5:25 pm
Soodle
Molly! You are apologising for the chat? I was unaware that what was chatted about in the chog was your responsibility. I'm puzzled.
5:28 pm
Soodle
We're good now, Nef, thank you. That's an extremely wise precaution to have a service agreement on your boiler! Good thinking!
5:29 pm
MollyL
Oh I would never apologize for what is in chat. Just said I was sorry it exhausted you.
5:33 pm
Soodle
Molly, your concern for my exhaustion levels is duly noted & appreciated.
5:36 pm
Soodle
And with this nice fuzzy warm feeling I've got from your concern, Molly, I'll say goodnight.
5:37 pm
Nef
DH is rattling dishes in the kitchen trying to figure out what to have for supper. BBL

Anniebrook touched the lives of every single Babbler she interacted with. Her descriptions of her views fron her apartment in Brooklyn in differing weather conditions used to leave me breathless. Her abiding and unconditional love for her beloved Bobby & Elizabeth were inspirational. That I don't have a picture of a candle as my profile is no indication that I will not sorely miss a kind, gentle, non-judgemental lady like Annie. It's not always necessary to post an ostentatious picture to mourn the passing of a valued friend.

I don't have a candle either, but she and I mailed each other regularly over the years. And Bobby has even written notes to me

Gee, I don't think the people in the Babble community posted candle icons in memory of Annie to be ostentatious. I think all the people who posted candle icons were just trying to do something in memory of a friend they made here.

No one needs to post any icon other than what they want. If people choose to remember someone who has passed with a candle, that is nice. I'm not sure why that got complained about.

ostentatious (adjective) characterized by vulgar or pretentious display; designed to impress or attract notice.
6:13 pm
MollyL
Really? Internet friends who post a candle to remember a lost friend are ostentatious?

I think she was referreing to the icons not the people, Molly. and candles are certainly not ostentatioius. They are beacons of light.
6:30 pm
MollyL
Yes Peri, but why are the icons, meant to honor a lost friend, ostentatious? I just didn't get the comment.
I agree, candles are beacons of light in a dark time.
