hello everyone

Lizlin

Hi nan

12:10 am

cybernan

thanks jess

12:13 am

hurshy

two grids in a row close to having aloha but not quite

12:13 am

cybernan

hi liz -- everything still ok with you?

12:14 am

Lizlin

Yes - much better today. We just arrived home this morning. We were actually in Melbourne for a wedding and had no idea how our house was - feared the worst, especially after our flight was cancelled on Thursday but actually everything was OK.

12:14 am

Lizlin

The park behind our house is now a river!

12:15 am

hurshy

:O

12:15 am

Lizlin

We were so lucky - there was loads of flooding around here.

12:15 am

Lizlin

We could see so much of the flooding as we flew in this morning.

12:16 am

hurshy

that must have been quite an experience

12:17 am

Lizlin

The stress of not knowing was the worst. But compared to others we were very lucky.

hurshy

12:45 am

mkg

12:46 am

hurshy

we're just full of hebrew tonight

12:47 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Hurshy - I'd missed 4 of them!

12:47 am

Lizlin

No - 2 of them. 2 are phantoms.

12:49 am

hurshy

wait so how many do you have? i have... 6 i think

12:49 am

Lizlin

Only 3 I think.

12:50 am

hurshy

2 al's, ps5, se5, sh6, sh5

12:50 am

Lizlin

And an sa 4

12:51 am

hurshy

technically the ps is greek but i associate it with hebrew

12:51 am

Lizlin

Wasn't counting the ps one.

12:51 am

hurshy

which sa4 do you mean? i have one that says it is a persian poet

12:52 am

Lizlin

Yes - well I guess that technically that should be ts - so it doesn't count.

12:52 am

Lizlin

My mistake!

12:53 am

hurshy

how nice to have sn4 and sl6 together - lots of families headed to tahoe this week too...

12:53 am

Lizlin

Still cold over there then.

12:53 am

hurshy

1:43 am

grannyrose

gapeach

brb

1:45 am

sprite

tomorrow will be better. Second day after overtaxing... you know how it goes. And the good thing is, I don't have that many chores today. I will take it verrrrrry easy :D

1:46 am

sprite

hurry back, peach :)

1:46 am

grannyrose

awww that's so good darling.

1:47 am

sprite

did the children have a good time in church?

1:48 am

grannyrose

given the amount of paint, bits of paper, dominoes, skittles, balls spread everywhere, i opine that they did. and so did i.

1:49 am

sprite

hehehe good for you! I love it, the way you are involved in all those church activities. You must be such an inspirational force there.

1:52 am

grannyrose

i hope so dear. and every time i go into the hospital, the big guy seems to put me in a room with either a fellow christian or someone who needs support.

1:53 am

sprite

:) that is great. As long as He remembers to put you in with someone supportive when you need that

1:54 am

grannyrose

he does dear. the times when i need support, the pastoral care worker calls on me, and no-one else.

1:55 am

sprite

ah, that is wonderful. *gives the big guy a huge thumbs-up*

1:55 am

grannyrose

*grins*

1:58 am

sprite

I will attend summer school of the heart academy this summer and I am going to teach one period. Theme is 'Reality and Illusion'. Am already having all kinds of ideas! Gonna write a story, followed by a guided fantasy/visualisation, and round it up with painting a (very real) rock.

1:59 am

sprite

spluid - when you spill something fluid and it splatters all over the place

2:00 am

grannyrose

what about the ads for clothing? showing those ultra-thin models? reality is the majority of the population ARE NOT THIN.

2:00 am

sprite

yeah, and so many schoolgirls feel fat because of them

2:02 am

grannyrose

well most of the population are not overweight either. there is a middle road which has to b e found....and be happy with where you are.

2:04 am

sprite

oh that middle road... right :D

2:09 am

sprite

did you see the new word for our dictionary?

2:12 am

sprite

methinks our rose is after one of them squirrels again :)

2:25 am

grannyrose

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Good morning.

Have been her..just at different times. And not been talking much lol

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Here*

3:53 am

rubyfoo

Spring is here -- more flowers every day and no more frost.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I come in stealthily, too....

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Yes it has arrived here too! It has been rather nice of late. Hope it will last!

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Glad you are not getting any more frosts. It really does make the bones cold.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

IIt looks like rain today but the garden is thirsty

3:56 am

rubyfoo

So I don't mind

3:56 am

zoozzoom

How are your two bodyguards doing?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

Rufie becomes more fierce and also more affectionate every day. He's even started doing "puppy things", funny since he's 5.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh bless him. Not sure about the fierce bit though..As long as it is not directed at you or genral public. Intruders is okay though to do it too though :-)

3:59 am

mattygroves

Morning peeps! I still got nothin' for the upper left O and the bottom E - may I have stats please?

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Matty. Not long started myself And have nothing for the Top O and have only just started on the first S.

4:01 am

ursh

ol6/27

4:02 am

rubyfoo

Hello Matty and Ursh. I just started, too, and only have 18 words.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Thank you for the stats, Ursh.

4:03 am

ursh

i got frustrated with that top O - so listed early still got 62 left

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Ah so it is not an everyday word then.

4:04 am

mattygroves

Thanks - looking now :)

4:04 am

rubyfoo

Rufe is extraordinary with me and anybody I say is OK. Otherwise, I don't know what he'd do if somebody hitt me

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Well I hope it never comes to that, Ruby.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

He makes me feel safe, alone in this big house

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Found an EL 6/24 for a bottom E

4:07 am

mattygroves

Can you give me a nudge, zoom?

4:08 am

zoozzoom

EL + vowel + consonant + who are you? show me some **

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Not sure if that helps you.

4:09 am

mattygroves

Working...

4:10 am

mattygroves

And it does - thank you!

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Will you be getting your gardener to help you this year, Ruby?

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Finally found the OL 6/27 Thank you, Ursh!

4:18 am

zoozzoom

If you want A clue, Matty, just let me know.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

There are 222 words today but I hate to think how many words and non-words we actually type in by the time we have finished lol

4:38 am

MollyL

There are plenty of non-words in this one

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Yep I thinnk I have found most of those lol

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Well I am down to 59 words to find. Better go and cut my hair. Happy babbling everyone!

4:41 am

MollyL

Enable really bugs me. If you look up that el6 it refers to an 8 word with the Latin ending. Does Enable accept that? Hell no.

4:41 am

MollyL

It wouldn't be legit in this grid, because you would have to use the E twice, but I just wanted to see if it was accepted.

5:36 am

rubyfoo

Hello, I'm back. Lunch was delivered and the dopey boy who wlks the dogs on the weekends was here

5:37 am

rubyfoo

He speaks less than my dogs!

5:37 am

MollyL

Dopey boy...ha ha...I have a friend whose response when you tell her about some stupid thing a man did is "Boys are dopey"

5:39 am

rubyfoo

Hahah and this kid's name is Idou, a synonym for idiot! I had to show himhow to use a rake -- and he's about 17!

5:40 am

rubyfoo

It's chilly today, less than 50, and he arrived on his scooter i a t-shirt

5:40 am

MollyL

It is chilly here today too. I am really sick of this retro winter crap in Spring.

5:41 am

sukee

Good morning all.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

Me, too. I wouldn't mind a little rain because the garden is so dry but it's just cold and grey

5:41 am

rubyfoo

hello Sukee

5:41 am

sukee

Hi Ruby. Cold and grey here too. 2C right now.

5:42 am

MollyL

We had a solid day of rain yesterday, so all my outdoor plants are soaked and happy

5:49 am

periwinkle

good morning all. help pls with the corner O and the corner L

5:50 am

MollyL

Corner o...Spanish cheer + fish appendage

5:51 am

periwinkle

ty Molly.

5:51 am

sukee

Ty Molly

5:51 am

periwinkle

we had rain all day yesterday too and today looks like it will be gray and gloomy with some rain.

5:52 am

sukee

On top of the weather, our buses are on strike on Monday.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

That sounds like a good excuse for staying in bed

5:53 am

sukee

I had to reschedule a hospital test because it costs too much to take a cab to the hospital

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Yes those corner Ls are driving me mad.

5:54 am

mattygroves

Soup spoon, of sorts.

5:54 am

MollyL

Soup servers

5:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry; I shouldn't make light of it

5:54 am

sukee

Ty Matty and Molly

5:54 am

rubyfoo

ladle

5:54 am

sukee

Well, it's not such an important test, just an update.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

aarghh. I'll disapper now, back into my web

5:55 am

mattygroves

That's the one, Ruby!

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Of I just do not believe i could not see those two words!! I am so crap at this game lol

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Many thanks.

5:55 am

mattygroves

May I have stats for the 8s?

5:55 am

sukee

I missed them too zoo

5:55 am

MollyL

Man, you people are WAY too hard on yourselves.

5:56 am

MollyL

sn8/65 and wh8/75

5:56 am

zoozzoom

SN 8/65

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Compound word.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

WH 8/75

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Compound word too.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Molly, Just saw your stat post.

5:57 am

mattygroves

OK, looking :)

5:57 am

MollyL

And you can get one from doing the other. Hahaha

5:57 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Scrabs loves SN 8/65

5:58 am

mattygroves

Thank you - got them both now :)

5:59 am

MollyL

I prefer indoor sports in the winter. 12 ounce curls by the fireplace.

5:59 am

sukee

So, does SN 8 start with the white precipitation?

5:59 am

zoozzoom

YEs, Sukee

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Sounds nice, Molly.

6:00 am

sukee

Good idea Molly.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

<-- fave indoor sport: babble by the fire

6:00 am

sukee

Be back in a flash, breakfast time

6:00 am

MollyL

Although it was such a (yes Zoom) mild winter that we did not have a fire once.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Lucky you. Have had heating on for ages now!

6:02 am

zoozzoom

It is a hard sport, Ruby, but I am happy to keep doing this sport :-)

6:02 am

MollyL

Happy Birthday to all the April Fools

6:03 am

rubyfoo

You're kidding, right? LOL

6:03 am

MollyL

Who is kidding?

6:03 am

zoozzoom

My friend was born on April fools day. Boy did he get a ribbing at school on his Birthday poor lad.

6:04 am

MollyL

I was married to an April Fool, once upon a time.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

I am lucky as I am a fool everyday so I am used to it LOL

6:06 am

zoozzoom

May I have any stat for the two 'i' pease?

6:06 am

zoozzoom

Please even.

6:06 am

MollyL

id4 and 5

6:07 am

rubyfoo

id4 adjective for me

6:07 am

MollyL

*Waits for Zoom to wail about how he should have seen them

6:07 am

zoozzoom

Oh my goodness!! How did I miss those!!!!

6:07 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:08 am

zoozzoom

Must be something about that ending for me not seeing those types of words today.

6:08 am

sukee

You and me both

6:11 am

rubyfoo

See you later, kids

6:11 am

sukee

Take care Ruby.

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pips, Ruby!

6:12 am

sukee

Finally got the SN 8

6:12 am

zoozzoom

Nice one!

6:15 am

MollyL

The difficulty in this game is how the words are sometimes laid out in the grid. The soup server words are all up-down, which is not how our brains are used to reading

6:16 am

MollyL

Then you get all used to looking for words that way and you can miss one that is spelled out left to right across the bottom of the grid. : D

6:16 am

sukee

For sure :)

6:17 am

zoozzoom

Well after you said that I tried mosel just in case :-)

6:18 am

zoozzoom

And visa-versa of course.

6:18 am

mattygroves

Me too!

6:18 am

sukee

still need 10 Ws

6:18 am

MollyL

: D We had one the other day that was spelled out across the bottom and I didn't see it for a while because I was so busy reading right to left and upside down

6:19 am

zoozzoom

Yes that was on the 27th and the word was' Other' :-)

6:20 am

MollyL

Zoom, I worry that you have such things committed to memory

6:21 am

zoozzoom

Nope not to memory. I too remember there was a word across the bottom so did a quick check on the archives to see :-)

6:21 am

mattygroves

Am I missing something really obvious with the la6/33?

6:22 am

zoozzoom

To have as much as possible on ones legs..like a child for instance.

6:23 am

zoozzoom

Do not forget to plural :-)

6:23 am

MollyL

I would not consider that an "obvious" word. It's actually kind of a clunky word.

6:25 am

mattygroves

OK, looking :)

6:25 am

mattygroves

OK, should have seen that. Forgot about that suffix. Thanks!

6:25 am

mattygroves

I was stuck on the idea there was going to be a ph in there

6:25 am

MollyL

And why is the hi6 version of that word not allowed. If you can have a la6 full of a toddler, you can certainly have a hi6 of him, if you are carrying him

6:26 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:26 am

sukee

Ty Molly, that finally gave me the word :)

6:27 am

zoozzoom

I still wonder why the acronym, AW 4& 5 is allowed.

6:28 am

MollyL

If anyone is a Stephen King fan, the trailer for the new movie based on his novel "It" is extremely creepy.

6:28 am

sukee

I think I will pass on that :)

6:29 am

mattygroves

I've seen it - it looks good...and very creepy

6:29 am

mattygroves

I'm quite the King fan

6:29 am

zoozzoom

Must go look for the trailer.

6:29 am

mattygroves

No sign of the Losers' Club as adults though. There is one bit of the book that was left out of the TV adaptation and hopefully will be left out of the new movie...

6:31 am

MollyL

The sex bit? I thought that was a very cheap shot from King.

6:31 am

MollyL

And I am a big fan.

6:31 am

mattygroves

Yeah - it was just wrong. Really discordant.

6:32 am

mattygroves

It's a shame because the rest of the book is so good

6:33 am

sukee

Finally, nbt

6:33 am

sukee

Taking a break, take care all.

6:35 am

MollyL

I have read a lot of fan reaction to that story and that part seems universally disliked.

6:35 am

zoozzoom

Just watched the trailer. Looks like it is a good film to watch!

6:35 am

MollyL

My son is hoping the new version deals more with the smoke lodge and The Ritual of Chud.

6:42 am

mattygroves

I could see that

6:45 am

MollyL

He has a point, in that it is a big part of the story. Where "It" came from and how to defeat it.

6:46 am

mattygroves

Also, with the turtle, it ties it in to the Dark Tower

6:46 am

MollyL

The TV version was limited by time and what they could get away with on TV.

6:47 am

zoozzoom

So I take it that I should read the book before seeing the film then?

6:47 am

mattygroves

Indeed. With a pretty crap spide special effect. But heh, it was the 80s

6:48 am

MollyL

I'm a little miffed that this film version will be set in the 80's as far as when the kids were young. But hey, they are trying to attract a different age group I guess.

6:54 am

mattygroves

So they're doing the 'thirty year ago' from the present day, rather than from the 80s...like if they remade Back to the Future for now!

6:56 am

MollyL

Yeah, and parts of the story don't seem to work for that. 80's kids didn't sail boats made of newspaper down the rain swollen street. In the 80's there were no drug stores like the one Eddie got his inhaler from. And other such things that just don't transfer up thirty years.

It turns out to be that thumb on nose, waggling fingers gesture of contempt. And apparently should be cock a snook, though I hadn't met that before today!

9:37 am

rururocks

well.. that sounds cute helens.. but I better keep my lips shut here :D

9:37 am

helensgirlkid

Thought to indicate a cock's comb - though why we should think waggling it meant anything more (on the part of the cock) than that he is moving his head!

9:39 am

helensgirlkid

I always learn so much in this chat room, one way or another!

9:39 am

1:44 pm

cybernan

interesting -- the problem with gaelic in all it's forms -- never pronounced the way it looks

1:44 pm

Glantarell

House name is not quite how it looks a double ll is a letter of its own in the Welsh alphabet, and I don;t have an English equivalent phonetic, but you can make the sound easily - to pronounce ll you put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, right upo to and touching your top teeth and then you kins of blow and a llll sound comes out LOL

1:44 pm

bichon

It wouldn't ever work for me

1:45 pm

Glantarell

Welsh is incredibly consistent. Once you can pronounce each of the 28 letters, it is always pronounced the same way - except for Y, which is pronounced either 'i' as in 'if' or uh, depends where in the word it is.

1:46 pm

Glantarell

Welsh has a number of letters which are double letters, like ff, ll, rh but also confuses English speakers because f is pronounced as v, but if you want the f sound, you put ff...

1:52 pm

Glantarell

Llanfair means something very close to 'the parish of (saint) Mary

1:52 pm

Glantarell

It is relaly common in Wales

1:53 pm

Glantarell

Llanarch means something like the parish of the gift/behest

If you have the 1st sp7, the 2nd is to just change the last letter to another vowel.

I don't have either of them

2:42 pm

MollyL

What is a haibt?

2:42 pm

bichon

I don't understand either, say it's human nature

2:43 pm

hurshy

i do it for two reasons - 1) i'm excited about the word because i like it and i think it's a nice word that we don't often get in the grid, or 2) it's a very weird one that I'm sure a lot of people would want a clue for anyway.

2:43 pm

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

when you are on a the game show Wheel of Fortune you **** the wheel

2:45 pm

hurshy

but if i know someone is around who really hates it, then i would try to refrain

2:45 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Soodle> Gosh, I haven't seen you for a long time....I hope all is well with you and yours. Blessings

2:46 pm

MLFAN17

when you are stirring something like frosting or batter you use a spat*** to stir it

2:46 pm

MollyL

Okay Hursh, I get it. It's like the flip where people are cluing words because they found them first.

2:46 pm

hurshy

well the flip is more calling than full-on cluing, but, yeah

2:46 pm

bichon

got it, ty fan

2:46 pm

penquis

it's one reason i don't like the flip...

2:46 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy but those people can turn off the chat

2:46 pm

Soodle

Everything here top of the pops, Gape!! How are you doing?

2:47 pm

MLFAN17

that was one reason I loved the flip

2:47 pm

MollyL

I'm sure people are just trying to be helpful. And I am aware of how to turn off the chat. But thanks for your helpful comment.

2:48 pm

Scrabbler

The flip is maniacal insanity.

2:48 pm

MLFAN17

helpful is correct and when I was at flip finding words in the beginning such as a 7 is exciting against others doing the same thing at the same time sometimes

2:48 pm

hurshy

yes, and if trolls come around the rest of us CAN turn off the chat. but i prefer to be thoughtful than insist on my rights, whenever i can reasonably do so.

2:48 pm

MollyL

Some people like getting clues fed to them. Others like to work the grid on their own. No worries, everyone can play the way they want to.

2:48 pm

gapeach

Just getting older, dear one. Have many physical issues but am hanging on. LOL

2:48 pm

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

The flip is 1300 my time so I have only stayed up a few times to observe it, and observe it what I do. It is like a 100 meter race. All out running. It is fascinating to observe.

2:50 pm

Scrabbler

la5/12= large soup dispenser

2:50 pm

MLFAN17

agreed scrab it is at 1am for me

2:50 pm

bichon

It's great in Europe. Late morning

2:51 pm

gapeach

Scrabs, it is getting near the time when we lost our little ones....I always think of you. Hope all is well now....I still have my little one's picture in my phone.

2:51 pm

hurshy

and then there are those times when someone asks stats and someone clues the stats and then someone thinks the stats are a request for a clue and gives a clue, lol

2:51 pm

Soodle

Gapeach - it makes me happy to see you & know you are well :-) Flip time here is 6.00 am & i usually lurk,.

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

May 10th, right, peach? I have trouble remembering the dates for all of my bunnies.

2:52 pm

MLFAN17

very common hurshy

2:52 pm

hurshy

scrabbler, i believe 1300 is one in the afternoon, 0100 is one in the morning.

2:52 pm

MLFAN17

but like I said before it is also a habit for some

2:52 pm

gapeach

Yes, Scrabbler, May 10th.

2:53 pm

Scrabbler

That's what I meant, hurshy. Thanks for the correction.

2:54 pm

Scrabbler

2:54 pm

MLFAN17

Do you like his SO, Soodle?

2:56 pm

bichon

WTG Soodle's son. Grandchildren will be coming

2:57 pm

Soodle

Well, obviously, the woman who deserves my son hasn't been born yet, Scrabbs, but Kerrie comes close. She is a lovely girl, pretty, chatty, & totally nuts about Paul, so.... I'm content. :-)
