We finally got some rain after the prolonged drought, so by the time my friends arrive in June, the shambly garden should be beautiul again

3:13 am

rubyfoo

Right now there are tulips, allyssum, geraniums allium, wisteria, cherry quince,"sorbier" and other fruit tree blossoms and, soon iris buddleia and roses and maybe even water lilies

3:14 am

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo rubyfoo! I haven't played in a long time and it's nice to see the familiar faces here.

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, just seen how long a gap there is in the times of the messages.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sally and Ruby

6:06 am

Sally-catlover

Hi!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I haven't seen you here in a long time, Sally. Are you doing well?

6:07 am

Sally-catlover

It's taking time to get back into this after a long break.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I just finished reading, "H is for Hawk", so my head is in England right now.

6:08 am

Sally-catlover

I'm fine. It was just that i tended to use my ipad rather than my laptop and it wasn't so easy. Now I have a Bluetooth keyboard for it so I'm off!

6:09 am

Scrabbler

A Bluetooth keyboard--wow.

6:09 am

Sally-catlover

My head is in England, but then so is the rest of me...

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Haha. I loved that book so much. Have you read it?

6:10 am

Sally-catlover

It was very cheap but it's so much easier for proper typing. Also the grid doesn't vanish every time I add a word.

6:10 am

Sally-catlover

No, not read the book.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I am glad it works and that you are back.

6:11 am

Sally-catlover

:-)

6:11 am

Scrabbler

The book is nonfiction and about a young woman that trains a goshawk as she deals with grief after her father dies. The writing is beautiful. She takes the hawk to the English countryside. I love nature and birds so I loved the book.

6:12 am

Sally-catlover

Who is the author?

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Helen McDonald or MacDonald

6:13 am

Sally-catlover

I'll look it up.

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

Must check something. Be back soon. I'm not doing very well, I only have 27 words so far!

I don't like the taste of it either

9:51 am

penquis

9:51 am

MLFAN17

I don't like the smell of regular beer.

9:52 am

penquis

i am done...

9:52 am

rururocks

nice.. would you clue my last 54 pen :D

9:52 am

cybernan

he* cat + what you get at the beach + vowel

9:54 am

cybernan

would rather drink a dry cider on a hot day -- not strongbow though as it tastes too much like beer

9:54 am

penquis

it was a nice grid for me...

9:54 am

cybernan

still have 32 to go, so reserving judgement

9:54 am

penquis

i like hard cider but not beer...

9:54 am

rururocks

i'd rather have a gin and tonic on a hot day

9:56 am

bichon

Here I am in the country of beer and wine and I only drink diet coke

9:56 am

cybernan

we have quite a few micro brewers in our valley making hard cider now -- some of them very much like the Normandy ciders

9:57 am

rururocks

i like pear ciders too

9:57 am

rururocks

eric bordelet's are the best

9:58 am

cybernan

will have to try it if I ever get to CA again -- like pear cider, but it is quite a bit sweeter than the apple usually

9:58 am

rururocks

this one isn't sweek

9:58 am

rururocks

sweet

9:58 am

rururocks

it's from 300 year old trees

9:59 am

cybernan

ok -- didn't know pear trees grow to be that old - wonder if the fruit has a more concentrated flavour?

10:00 am

cybernan

I Do know that pear wood makes a wonderful sounding violin

10:00 am

rururocks

it tastes like a white burgundy

10:00 am

rururocks

it's pretty incredible stuff

10:03 am

cybernan

maybe it wil appear on our shelves -- after all -- trump wants to dump US wine in our market. We already have WA state apples being dumped here but Mr. Greed won't be happy until he has it all

10:05 am

cybernan

I wonder if he realizes just how much animosity he is generating for the US around the world - doesn't he know that nobody like a "me first" person?

10:13 am

rururocks

to be honest nan.. you guys could use better wine there

10:13 am

rururocks

your taxes on wines in Canada is beyond obscene

10:15 am

cybernan

the reds yes -- we don't have a warm enough climate for red grapes -- other than the vineyards down by the border -- but not the wihites. I have never found a CA white that I like -- they are mostly too thin and taste like battery acid

10:15 am

cybernan

mind you I am not buying $75 bottles of wine either

10:16 am

rururocks

true. but i figured that when you said battery acid

10:16 am

cybernan

yes -- liquor and tobacco taxes are very high --- helps to pay for the medical costs

10:17 am

rururocks

i am all for super high tobacco costs :D

10:18 am

cybernan

to my mind a good table wine should not cost more than $15 per bottle

10:19 am

rururocks

there are plenty that do just cost that nan.. you just have to know them.

10:19 am

rururocks

A lot of the wine I really enjoy is under $20 for everyday

10:19 am

rururocks

but now that I'm older my palate has changed too

10:19 am

moolingwa

Trump doesn't care what the world thinks

10:20 am

moolingwa

There's a sizable percentage of the US population that don't care either

10:20 am

rururocks

I have a lot of expensive wine.. but mostly i'm just selling it off now.. they don't interest me on a day to day basis of having a nice glass with a meal

10:20 am

rururocks

as far as trump goes we are in for four years of hell here

10:21 am

cybernan

I don't think he cares what anyone thinks mool --- he has a nice little nepotic oligarchy going for himself

10:21 am

cybernan

just hope he hasn't turned the US into a dictatorship by then, ru

10:21 am

rururocks

that is somewhat of a concern nan

10:22 am

rururocks

all that is missing on him is a tiny little orange mustache

10:22 am

rururocks

<---heads to the list

10:23 am

moolingwa

I don't believe he'll be able to turn the US into a dictatorship

10:24 am

moolingwa

But I do believe that he's harmed some basics in the democratic process, including transparency, objectivity and truth

10:24 am

rururocks

he's trying to bully everything else mool

10:24 am

moolingwa

14 to go

10:24 am

moolingwa

yes, but you can only bully if those who are being bullied believe he has power over them

10:25 am

cybernan

mool --- that thinking scares me --- did you believe he could be elected?

10:25 am

moolingwa

I think initially there were a number of republicans who thought he did, but I think there are fewer today who are scared of him

10:25 am

moolingwa

No, I didn't believe he could be elected

10:25 am

rururocks

I did.. there's a lot of anger in middle america

10:26 am

moolingwa

But were all wrong some times :)

10:26 am

moolingwa

we're = were

10:26 am

moolingwa

And Clinton was such an awful candidate too

10:26 am

rururocks

that is true

10:26 am

cybernan

I think that US citizens should be very mindful of their rights and freedoms in the current climate --- already the current government is trying to withdraw rights of women and minority groups

10:27 am

Uneaixoise

WE ARE MINDFUL -- omg it's so scary

10:27 am

rururocks

women especially

10:27 am

bonkler

10:51 am

moolingwa

I liked smushed potatus

10:52 am

cybernan

kids' language can be so descriptive. I remember our daughter making easter bonnets for myself and my mother at kindergarten. When her grandmother asked how she made it my daughter replied, well you just take pieces of tissue paper in any colour you want, scrunchle it up ..... and glue it on

10:52 am

2:42 pm

mkg

cept

2:49 pm

mkg

apologies. luckily not a word.

2:56 pm

moolingwa

cept if you use an apostrophe

2:56 pm

MollyL

Cept if you talk in abbreviated text-speak. In which people don't bother to spell correctly or use capital letters

3:00 pm

moolingwa

Well English is an ever changing language, so I guess if we wait a few years, cept will become ac-cept-able

3:07 pm

MollyL

These days, English is an ever deteriorating language.

3:08 pm

fit1

he 7 driving me up a wall. Any help

3:10 pm

zoozzoom

HE + consonant + brown from the sun + vowel.

3:16 pm

zoozzoom

Did that help at all, Fit1?

3:18 pm

moolingwa

I think you'll find English has always been "deteriorating"

3:21 pm

moolingwa

I used to get annoyed at things like "mute point", until I started listening to some lexicographers talk about evolution in language

3:21 pm

moolingwa

miniscule for instance is a corruption of minuscule

3:26 pm

fit1

Still working on it Zoozoom

3:28 pm

fit1

got it zoozzoom. Thanks a bunch

3:28 pm

zoozzoom

Anytime, Fit1, glad you got it!

4:55 pm

zoozzoom

Time for me to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!

5:17 pm

MollyL

English has not been deteriorating as much as it has since the advent of text-speak and internet slang.

5:20 pm

MollyL

But then I don't follow lexicographers. Nice 50 dollar word.

6:37 pm

moolingwa

Deteriorating by definition means it's becoming progressively worse. If you mean in terms of spoken language, I think you'll find that ever generation brings change to the language, both from a cultural perspective as well as a technical perspective

6:39 pm

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 7 or 8 letter words? i dont have any yet. ty.

6:39 pm

moolingwa

If you mean in terms of the written form, then I would agree there has been an acceleration in change because of the tools we use to communicate today

6:40 pm

moolingwa

As to it being worse...that's a harder thing to evaluate. If you don't like the change, then you can say yes I don't like it, but if you look at whether it's making it harder to communicate, I think that's less evident

6:40 pm

moolingwa

one 8 relates to whales

6:40 pm

moolingwa

the other 8 relates to a place you might get a drink

6:40 pm

7:01 pm

frobscottler

hi guys, I'm new! Does anyone know why a letter I've used still shows "0/1" in the tile stats?

7:01 pm

mkg

off for now. ty

7:01 pm

moolingwa

probably used a different letter frob

7:01 pm

frobscottler

only one on the board - the y

7:01 pm

moolingwa

It's uses the highest and leftest letter to start a word

7:02 pm

moolingwa

for instance the N appears three times

7:02 pm

moolingwa

so it might have used a different N

7:02 pm

moolingwa

It's a word that starts with Y

7:02 pm

frobscottler

is it not the stats for using a letter in a word? but for starting a word?

7:02 pm

moolingwa

correct

7:02 pm

frobscottler

ahhh

7:02 pm

frobscottler

Hi folks

7:45 pm

Bugsaw

hi origami. just came back

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

how did the interview go?

7:46 pm

origami

How are you bugs?

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

I am good. Really enjoying not have a regular routine.

7:47 pm

origami

The interview was so-so. Parts went really well. We shall see :-)

7:48 pm

Bugsaw

I hope it would be something you would enjoy. The interview sounded like it would be gruelling.

7:49 pm

origami

It was grueling. I felt like I had fought ten rounds by the time I was done. It actually ran over to 5 hours. blech.

7:49 pm

Gadget

I'm sorry if it's a no-no to talk about other things, but I thought babblers would know, being puzzlers. Is the BBC's Sherlock Holmes worth diving into on Netflix?

7:50 pm

Bugsaw

If the interview was that long, I would be concerned about how much they would expect me to suffer on the job.

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Gadget. I never knew we couldn't talk about other things (except politics, sex and religion , of course). Some of the BBC Sherlock is quite interesting but there were a couple that were very odd and science=fictionish.

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

I quite liked their Watson.

7:52 pm

origami

It's not a no-no gadget.

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, origami. Most of the time the people who come here are remarkably supportive.

8:01 pm

rururocks

8:01 pm

origami

Don't get me started ru :-)

8:01 pm

rururocks

politics are back in action here in case you haven't noticed :D

8:01 pm

Bugsaw

yes, that is a good one to add to the official politeness list.

8:01 pm

rururocks

politics are back in action here in case you haven't noticed :D

8:02 pm

Bugsaw

People like to talk about politics but I was taught, and believe it to be true, just don't. It gets people fired up.

8:02 pm

rururocks

there is a "sensitive" Room for people who flip out about discussions of Politics and Religion

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

How are you , ruru? I have been meaning to email but keep getting distracted by shiney things

8:03 pm

rururocks

it's right next to the PB

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

I would rather be in the PB. Mroe fun in there and you don't feel like you are punished.

8:03 pm

rururocks

rururocks

rururocks

8:17 pm

rururocks
