1:54 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Good evening, dear lady. I hope you are well and your day was pleasant?

1:54 am

flosey

yes thanks Sprite, had a pleasant, easy day

1:55 am

sprite

am glad :)

1:55 am

flosey

hope you are looking at the beginning of a lovely day

1:56 am

sprite

I am, thanks flosey. Nothing much in the way of obligations. Just a quiet, normal day. Lots of knitting ahead for me... or rather crocheting, because I have to finish a baby gift before I can work more on my sweater.

1:59 am

flosey

are you knitting a sweater for yourself?

2:00 am

sprite

yes. A lovely oversized one with owls and leaves.

2:00 am

flosey

lovely!

2:00 am

flosey

I don't do much knitting, do enjoy it though, usually for someone else

2:01 am

sprite

yes, I usually knit for others too. It is nice to be able to wear the results for once :)

2:03 am

flosey

it most certainly is Sprite, something for yourself to enjoy

2:04 am

flosey

with the cooler weather coming along, it would be a good way to take myself away from this computer!!! I do spend too much time here

2:05 am

sprite

maybe start a cute baby something... always comes in handy, a baby gift. And it works fast, which is nice for starters :)

2:06 am

flosey

oddly enough, I didn't do any knitting for either of my 2 grandsons

2:07 am

sprite

well, sometimes it is just not the time for one to knit.

2:07 am

flosey

one is now 19!! the other is 8

2:08 am

sprite

the 19 one will probably be happy with a scarf... the 8 yo might still like a sweater :D

2:10 am

flosey

difficult to knit for someone back in Ontario though, although a scarf might be welcome, considering Ontario winters

2:11 am

sprite

also a nice project to start up again, a scarf.

2:12 am

flosey

we use to wind them across forehead, crossed at back and around throat - needed for Ontario Winters

2:13 am

sprite

indeed. It usually doesn't get down to extreme frost here, but winters can be cold.

2:14 am

flosey

we walked about a mile to elementary school, and Ontario winters could be very cold

2:15 am

sprite

a good, healthy walk, that.

2:15 am

flosey

yup!! we were pretty healthy

2:18 am

flosey

fw and must get to bed now, good night Sprite and all, bb tomorrow at flip

Just starting here, so I appreciate the list six 7s, Samantha

7:58 am

SamanthaJoy

7:59 am

Scrabbler

I found two of the 7s so far.

7:59 am

SamanthaJoy

That's a pretty good percentage of them, I'd say!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

You got me started.

8:00 am

SamanthaJoy

You do realize I was listing sixes, not sevens? There *are* only two sevens.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that's what I meant. I am still waking up.

I like huge grids so I can type away and not hit the wall for a long time. But, my goal is not to finish. I used to stay up til midnight finishing gris, in the old days.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, I infrequently drink coffee because I am very sensitive to caffeine.

8:19 am

11:34 am

mkg

hate it when they put spanish and other language words here.

11:52 am

rururocks

do you mind the Yiddish words?

11:52 am

bichon

Some Sp words in here are selective: padre but no madre

11:54 am

bichon

And the have the frmer Israeli currency

11:58 am

MollyL

It's interesting how people pick and choose the words they don't like

11:59 am

mkg

i do mind the yiddish words. yes. they dont belong in an english dictionary. many americans dont know them. and the spelling of them is arbitrary........

11:59 am

mkg

that currency also doesnt belong in the grid. lets stick to english.

12:00 pm

mkg

i dont like it when they put in french words or scottish words either.

12:01 pm

mkg

i guess the issue is this: many words get incorporated into english and likewise from english into other languages so i guess it is difficult to know what is and is not right to put in.

12:01 pm

rururocks

personally I think Enable is full of merde

12:02 pm

MollyL

People playing a word game where the chat is in English, tend to expect only English words to be found. It is ridiculous how many lesser known Scot words are accepted here. And arvo? Seriously? A made up Australian word?

12:36 pm

rururocks

lesser scot words won't kilt anyone

12:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

i think the more you play the more you get used to what's in the dictionary and how they spell it.

12:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

a lot of foreign -origin words are part of the growing language.

12:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

tsade and tsores are yiddish words oddly spelled. Is Tsar an English word?

12:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Envelope was French.

12:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I would be excited if cwms showed up once in a while and I caught it

12:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I monkeyed a 7!

12:48 pm

poor richard

bichon, that's because padre has come to be the name of a priest/father in English. Not so for Madre. don't you think?

12:49 pm

poor richard

fenar

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Does anyone not know what a yenta is?

12:50 pm

poor richard

Yiddish for busybody I think.

12:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

of course. Common word

12:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

e4 is French but also part of Engish

12:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

twisty grid. I keep thinking I am clever but I have 38 left, so I guess I am not
