1:48 am

sprite

aw that is priceless. Am so glad, rose. You deserve it.

1:49 am

grannyrose

i haven't pushed it at all, just waited for them to be spontaneous.

1:58 am

2:03 am

sprite

am of two minds about this grid. Found quite a few of the biggies early on, so that should make it easy. But with 100 in I am hitting this concrete wall, hard to imagine 62 more words in here!

2:15 am

sprite

squirrel? :)

2:16 am

grannyrose

yeah... news program on. new french president marching down the Champs Elysses.

2:16 am

sprite

ah :)

2:17 am

grannyrose

his poor wife looks terrified. it's a whole new life style for her.

2:17 am

sprite

can't imagine the transition from relatively unknown to in the eyes of the whole public. It would scare me s***less.

2:19 am

grannyrose

and now they are showing maggots which they are farming to feed fish farms. lalalalalalalalalalala gag

2:19 am

sprite

ugh, one of the very few things that make me gag too.

2:23 am

grannyrose

what are you doing today?

2:24 am

sprite

walking Terra, weeding, making some painted stones for my sister, translating, and crocheting.

2:25 am

grannyrose

all sounds quite manageable.

2:25 am

grannyrose

tomorrow i start putting together contents of suitcase and carry-on bag.

2:26 am

sprite

yeah, nothing much today, am taking it easy. Tomorrow and Friday I have an early morning shift, with someone I am mentor for. And wednesday a chat shift.

2:26 am

sprite

oh wow, rose. It is getting so real now, isn't it :D

2:28 am

grannyrose

yes honey. i can't believe how quickly the time has passed.

2:29 am

sprite

I am so happy with it. Can't wait to see you two for real, and hug you, and spend time with you. It will be something to remember for the rest of my life.

Maisie

sprite

2:38 am

Maisie

2:38 am

sprite

2:39 am

Maisie

4:22 am

Kallia

Hello Zooz

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Or like me busy trying to find words lol

4:23 am

rubyfoo

Good! I fouled up wheen I first entered

4:23 am

Kallia

and Ruby

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Hello ((Kallia)) How goes it there?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

And felt bad

4:23 am

Kallia

Not too bad, how about you?

4:24 am

Kallia

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Okayish here thank you. Weather not too good today. rain is on and off.

4:24 am

Kallia

4:25 am

rubyfoo

It is beautiful and sunny and the gardener is hard at work. I put several words into the chog, still sleepy and wooly-headed

4:25 am

Kallia

oh I don't think you need to feelbad aboout that! We all do it sometimes

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I do put valid words in chat often lol

4:26 am

rubyfoo

The garden looks better than it has in several years as, during the period of my husband's decline (and my being sick), notthing was done.

4:26 am

Kallia

lovely to have a great garden to dreamin

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Glad the garden is back on track, Ruby! Bet it is going to look amazing when everything is out in bloom.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

The deck is all planted: 9 assorted tomato plants in lovely bronze pots and MANY different flowers, most of thgemnot yet open, but vigorous and intensely green

4:27 am

Kallia

do you sit out on the deck Ruby?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

It really makes me happy!

4:28 am

Kallia

so good for the soul to sit and look at green...very soothing

4:28 am

rubyfoo

And once open, it will be a riot of color, all in my limited but still rich, palette

4:28 am

rubyfoo

<-- can't stop smiling!

4:29 am

Kallia

what is your palette Ruby?

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Hope the bees will bzz into your garden for the pollen!

4:29 am

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4:31 am

Kallia

peaceful

4:31 am

rubyfoo

If you are selling, I'm buying! LOL

4:32 am

Kallia

LOL nope don't sell, may give though :)

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Limiting the color range makes it possible to have many different flowers

4:34 am

Kallia

I have been toldthatI have a good eye for colour, yellows and oranges would be a reallno no inyourcolour scheme.....

4:34 am

Kallia

have we lost zooz?

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Nope still here trying to find the bottom N :-)

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Since this is my first garden, it was all theoretical. I made many mistakes, but the overall scheme carried through nicely;

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Found one!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

<-- zzoozz is a prince!

4:36 am

rubyfoo

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Yuo are both very nice ladies :-)

4:39 am

zoozzoom

4:41 am

Kallia

why thankyou zooz, I amvery well behaved on here :) It is far to easy to upset people without meaning to

4:42 am

rubyfoo

TY zzoozz, keeping relatively mum

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Yes written words sometimes do not describe as well as actual talk can. And can easily be misinterpreted.

4:43 am

Kallia

best way Ruby :)

4:43 am

MollyL

*Nods*

4:44 am

rubyfoo

Words matter, but somebody needs to tell Trump!

4:45 am

Kallia

well he is not anintelligent man, his vocabulary is limited adn he doesn't know how to use words properly!

4:45 am

Kallia

that's only my opinion of course !

4:46 am

rubyfoo

His English vocabulary is smaller than my French one, and I learnedmine in jr high

4:46 am

rubyfoo

"Opinions matter!"

4:48 am

zoozzoom

J'ai appris mon franÃ§ais de google, Ruby!

4:49 am

rubyfoo

There is a merle, a drab black bird with a gorgeous voice, who ssings "La Cucaracha

4:50 am

rubyfoo

Is anybody old enough to remember that "novelty" song?

4:50 am

Kallia

hehe zoo...most of my schoolgirl French has disappeared

4:50 am

zoozzoom

I have lots of beautiful bird songs in my garden! And a robin always comes up to me when I am out there!

4:50 am

Kallia

Well I am probably...but I don't know it

4:50 am

rubyfoo

I haad to bring mine back when I moved here

4:51 am

zoozzoom

The Dancing Cockroach

4:51 am

rubyfoo

Do you actually have robins like in the US?

4:51 am

rubyfoo

Hahah

4:51 am

zoozzoom

My father used to have that tune as a horn on his car LOL

4:51 am

Kallia

the robins we have are different from the USA ones

4:51 am

rubyfoo

Too funny!

4:52 am

rubyfoo

Here the only birds with red undersides are pinsons and red-throats

4:52 am

MollyL

I had to do a Google search on UK robins. Yours are orange.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Ours are small with a beautiful red breast.

4:53 am

rubyfoo

I keep a bird book in sight of the feeder, and although often similar, I've learned more than 20 new ones

4:53 am

MollyL

Oh, okay. Zoom must have the American kind.
: D

4:54 am

rubyfoo

I kept track in the US, had a "life list" of more than 100.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

Trans-Atlantic flierrs!

4:54 am

Kallia

The is a utube video of La Cacarachawith dancing cockroaches lol

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Well orange is more the color than red :-)

4:54 am

MollyL

I would love to learn bird calls. I have so many out back. Probably because I put bird seed out for them.

4:55 am

Kallia

I doknow the tune.

4:55 am

rubyfoo

The only true red one I have is a tiny fellow who occasionally walks into the house

4:55 am

MollyL

I also have a wild rabbit who comes around for the seed. I had no idea they liked it until this year.

4:56 am

MollyL

I have many cardinals here. They are very pretty in the winter against the white snow.

4:56 am

4:58 am

zoozzoom

What is your red bird called that comes into your home, Ruby?

5:11 am

rubyfoo

I don't know bird calls except for the cuckoo who lives above me, the pigeon ramier "burbles" but I don't recognize others, except the merles

5:12 am

rubyfoo

He is a red-throat, and his wife died crashing into a window, so I think he comes in the house looking for her

5:12 am

rubyfoo

He is tiny and lets me pick him up and carry him back out

5:13 am

rubyfoo

The gardener just left and even took the garbage up to the road for me. I am so fortunate!

5:14 am

eu9/72 geometry

10:12 am

periwinkle

I will never find eu9 I did terribly in geometry

10:14 am

periwinkle

bu ty for the stats

10:14 am

periwinkle

but even

10:18 am

hurshy

it's the guy who invented it, not a geometry term

10:19 am

hurshy

i mean it's the adjective based on the name of the guy who invented it

10:20 am

penquis

it's also a type of geometry, i think....

10:20 am

hurshy

yeah, because then more geometry got invented later or something

10:21 am

hurshy

maybe because of einstein and relativity and stuff, i forget

10:22 am

penquis

it's geometry based on his (Eu's) theories, i think....

10:22 am

penquis

i don't remember much from geometry....or algebra either....though i can solve for an unknown!

10:24 am

penquis

if you google types of geometry, you will find it...

10:24 am

hurshy

The essential difference between Eu9 geometry and these two non-Eu9 geometries is the nature of parallel lines: In Eu9 geometry, given a point and a line, there is exactly one line through the point that is in the same plane as the given line and never intersects it.

10:24 am

penquis

i should be looking for words and not spouting off about geometry, lol....

11:20 am

Judi

A-hoy hoy, neighbors!

11:20 am

ddb4nana

so near, yet so far

11:20 am

hurshy

thanks. said i'd sub for high school since they were really desperate, and i was hoping they'd put me in math but i'm in art and it's not fun art either, there are no chalks or paints or clays, they are using photoshop.

11:21 am

hurshy

there's nothing for me to do except check who is here and say "sure, you can go to the bathroom"

11:21 am

ddb4nana

that is more than sad...that's terrible

11:21 am

Judi

YAAAWN, hurshy. I say go rogue and break out the Play-doh.

11:21 am

ddb4nana

what is happening to our schools!

11:22 am

hurshy

i didn't BRING playdoh

11:22 am

hurshy

it's a private school, nana

11:22 am

ddb4nana

sneak to the kitchen for the ingredients

11:22 am

Judi

You'd think and art class would have a stash of paints, clays, etc.

11:22 am

hurshy

their parents pay mucho buckos to send them here

11:23 am

ddb4nana

sad state, as I said...kids should learn to work with their hands in art!

11:23 am

hurshy

well they probably have other art classes for that. these ones elected to take photography

11:24 am

ddb4nana

oh, I see...sad for you!

11:24 am

hurshy

YES

11:24 am

ddb4nana

how long do you have to be there?

11:25 am

hurshy

well, all day, but, there are some breaks but i mean, what is the point of break when class is break too, lol

11:25 am

ddb4nana

lol

11:27 am

moolingwa

sounds like a work camp ;)

11:32 am

Judi

Name that proper noun: Famous tower.

11:33 am

periwinkle

I got the eu9. I remembered the first part somehow but could not think how to extend it. ty hurshy

11:33 am

hurshy

i think eiffel has two f's?

11:33 am

Judi

True, but you get credit anyway, Hurshy.

11:34 am

hurshy

:)

11:34 am

Judi

I'll take a clue for the eu9, please.

11:35 am

hurshy

the kind of geometry where only one parallel line can pass through a given point in relation to another line in the same plane...

11:35 am

moolingwa

great clue hursh :)

11:36 am

Judi

Ugh. Math clue. I'm lost.

11:36 am

moolingwa

refers to an ancient greek mathematician...and then turn him into an adjective

11:37 am

hurshy

he's WAY FAMOUS

11:38 am

moolingwa

interestingly enough, in New Zealand we also called a certain type of scraping earth mover, the same as this mathematician

11:38 am

hurshy

you new zealanders are so sophisticated

11:38 am

moolingwa

heh, I think NZers might be the least sophisticated in all of the western world :)

11:39 am

bichon

I want to return to NZ

11:39 am

Judi

Got it. Ty!

11:39 am

periwinkle

I have never been to NZ but would love to go some day

11:39 am

moolingwa

My wife would like us to go there (she's american) to live, but it would be tougher financially

11:39 am

Judi

Would love to vist NZ

11:40 am

moolingwa

Definitely worth a visit

11:40 am

Judi

A lot of US ex-pats moving to NZ now. Driving real estate prices up, that's for sure.

11:41 am

moolingwa

well, real estate was already going the wrong way, mostly from foreign investment

11:41 am

moolingwa

Auckland has an average home price of $NZ 1 million...

11:41 am

Judi

Who's investing, Mool? Chinese?

11:42 am

hurshy

is there nowhere one can live the good life affordably anymore? simple, close to nature...

11:42 am

moolingwa

Yes, a lot of Chinese investment, Auckland has a pretty healthy chinese community

11:42 am

moolingwa

But other foreign investment too from other places

11:42 am

bichon

If you want to get away from the political issues in the US, move to nz

11:42 am

Judi

We visited Jamaica recently. Same situation there. Really cheap land getting bought up by Chinese and Indian investors.

11:43 am

moolingwa

Yes, NZ politics are on a completely different scale :)

11:43 am

moolingwa

Exchange rate is about $NZ 1.45 for each $US 1.00, so good value

11:43 am

bichon

It's so far away from everywhere. I never even saw any US newspapers when I was there

11:46 am

Judi

How come in4 is allowed but not "intel"? Harrumph.

11:47 am

bichon

I say harrumph a lot here too Judi

11:47 am

moolingwa

Yes, it's a long way from anywhere

11:47 am

hurshy

maybe bc everyone uses in4 but only the cia uses intel?

11:49 am

bichon

li 6/21, pls

11:49 am

moolingwa

the wordlist here is basically the US scrabble dictionary from 1998. Back then, the list was pretty closed managed. A few years back, the leadership changed and there's been a lot of words added since

11:50 am

moolingwa

the OSW - which is used primarily out of the UK, but used for English play in much of the rest of the world, is much more inclusive

11:50 am

moolingwa

li 6 - window shelf I think

11:51 am

moolingwa

no, it's a structure that holds up a window or door

11:51 am

moolingwa

50 to go

11:52 am

hurshy

still way more inclusive than what you get with some online word game sites

11:53 am

moolingwa

yes, I don't play a lot because they use weird dictionaries

11:53 am

moolingwa

prefer only to use ones that use the US dictionary, though will dabble in ones that use OSW

11:53 am

moolingwa

Especially speed based games, you need to know to some extent, some of the commons combinations that aren't words

11:54 am

bichon

that's the li 6/18, need the 6/21

11:55 am

hurshy

a kind of tree, only one letter different

11:55 am

bichon

ty hurshy

11:55 am

moolingwa

sorry, yes

11:55 am

hurshy

i hate when i'm playing text twist or whatever and i'm like IT IS SO A WORD!!!!

11:56 am

hurshy

and it'll take the singular of something but not the plural, or vice versa even!

11:56 am

moolingwa

I hate when some bogus word shows up as legit

11:56 am

moolingwa

yes, that's frustrating

11:56 am

moolingwa

This dictionary does have at least one mistake word in it though

11:57 am

moolingwa

emfs is not really a word, was a mistaken addition

11:57 am

hurshy

really? but i love emfs!

11:57 am

Judi

Yeah. Emfs really make your afro stand up.

11:57 am

moolingwa

yeah, it's an acronym, that was added and has since been removed

11:58 am

Judi

I believe emps are still acceptable tho.

11:58 am

hurshy

well then i can make up a meaning for it

11:59 am

moolingwa

well it means electronic magnetic something

11:59 am

hurshy

an emf is when an elf makes a sort of grunting, skeptical sound.

11:59 am

moolingwa

Don't believe emps is good

11:59 am

moolingwa

but not certain

11:59 am

hurshy

EMFS

11:59 am

moolingwa

actually, just looked it up...it's not valid

12:00 pm

moolingwa

heh

12:00 pm

Judi

Well, I take it back then.

12:00 pm

moolingwa

it's okay, I'm sure I have plenty of words that I think are legit that aren't in there :)

12:01 pm

bichon

spam should be in the dictionary

12:01 pm

moolingwa

conure is one I always thought they should have in there, seeing I owned one once...but only in OSW I believe

12:01 pm

moolingwa

yes, instead of in my e-mail

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

any other hints for the li 6/21?

12:14 pm

hurshy

TWO letters different from 6/18. i said one but it's TWO, sorry.

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

12:19 pm

3:36 pm

cybernan

only song i know about a daisy was about a bicycle built for 2

3:36 pm

MollyL

The Little Richard words end in I. The su ends in a double vowel

3:36 pm

moolingwa

t'is true, hence the rhyme :)

3:37 pm

moolingwa

Alternate clue...only has 4 unique letters in it

3:37 pm

cybernan

I know there was an entertainer called little richard, but have no idea about any of his songs

3:37 pm

MollyL

The Little Richard song is also an ice cream flavor with chunks of fruit and confection in it

3:39 pm

moolingwa

infekt: what the virus for german measles does

3:39 pm

MollyL

We are barking up the wrong tree trying to clue Nan with Little Richard. su6 sounds like a word for sofa that starts with se

3:39 pm

cybernan

can't come up with anything that has 6 letters

3:40 pm

cybernan

ah ty molly --- the practice of indian wives throwing themselves on their husband's funeral pyre

3:40 pm

MollyL

su + consonant + golf ball holder (that should do it, a golf clue)

3:40 pm
