JudyHall

forgive my ignorance, but if the Lickety clues are up, why continue to post 7-letter word hints ?

12:31 am

hurshy

cause we like to do it collaboratively rather than with the computer generated lists

12:31 am

Lizlin

Because not everyone is looking at Lickety yet and I guess it helps.

12:32 am

hurshy

before lickety, we got a list from brandyjack, but he didn't post it for hours after the flip usually. and before THAT there was no list at all. people got in the habit of working together and we like it.

12:33 am

JudyHall

OK, that makes sense ... working collabortively is quite helpful

12:33 am

we all have tourettes syndrome judy.. we just like yelling stuff out at night

Only at 50% but I've been listening to the guy in the hospital room from my mom's screaming in agony for the last 45 minutes. Poor guy. I've stopped and said several prayers for him.

1:38 am

ARB

Found the last 9 !

1:39 am

Bonjour! Perfect day for a big grid. l bought most of the floweers for pots, borders and dec yesterday, but overdid it and now l'l suffering

4:40 am

rubyfoo

And the gardener will coe timorrow to do the plantijg

4:41 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby. Nice that you got pretty flowers for your outside areas.

4:41 am

rubyfoo

Hello, Molly

4:45 am

rubyfoo

The wisteria has opened and although it looks scraggly, it smells delicious!

4:53 am

MollyL

Wisteria is so pretty.

4:56 am

rubyfoo

l like it better in August when it has leaves as well as flowers for the second round. My mother (R.I.P.) had a strong aversion to the odor f wisteria, going back to the 30's when she was pregnant. lt's funny to remember little stuff like that!

4:58 am

MollyL

The flowering trees around here seem to have withstood the slow arrival of Spring the best. The daffodils tried and withered. But the trees are still nice and colorful.

5:00 am

rubyfoo

The tulips were lovely and then, in oneday, it got hot and they all died. Happily, at the same time, the trees got their shiny spring leaves;

5:01 am

rubyfoo

l Wonder if this will be a good "fruit year"

5:08 am

MollyL

I would love to have enough land some day for fruit trees.

5:12 am

rubyfoo

ln the first years, l planted several which died after a year or two since l had no experience: pear, sanguine peach, apricot, etc

5:15 am

rubyfoo

But l still have a pretty, but tasteless cherry,hazelnuts (for te Neighbors; l'm allergic), blackberries, red and black currants raspberries, two plms (one mirabelle, on purple) and a magnifent fig tree which gets figs some years (twice!) and none other years.

5:15 am

rubyfoo

Also quince, but for its flowers, the fruit always rots before it ripens

5:42 am

rubyfoo

half! nbt

5:43 am

rubyfoo

cesta

5:43 am

rubyfoo

whoops, too excited!

5:58 am

MollyL

As if I don't have enough flowers on the patio, I just picked up another at the grocery store. It is called Stock and it is a great shade of purple.

6:00 am

Jivingjenny0

we have stocks in the garden and smell wonderful in the evenings not in the daytime!!

6:01 am

MollyL

Thanks for that. I will check out the smell later today. I've never had these before.

6:05 am

bichon

Good morning!

6:08 am

MollyL

Hi Bich, still traveling?

6:09 am

bichon

No, we've been home for a week.

6:34 am

MollyL

Oh I see. I can't keep up with you travelling Bichons.
: )

6:52 am

bichon

It's awful coming home from a trip where you are waited on, eat great French food, and be called Madam

7:14 am

MollyL

Yeah, that sounds like a crash to reality.

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

ohmygosh, actually found a 9 on my own! LL

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

Scrabbler

Trif, how is your dear mother, if I may ask?

9:21 am

Trifioso

she is being discharged today around noon, I'm heading up to fetch her as soon as beloved gets his act together. she will have constant monitoring for the first 48 hours, and then we will reassess

9:21 am

Trifioso

thank you for asking. she sundowned WICKED last night, totally lost her basket. Hoping she quieted and rested some

9:21 am

Scrabbler

She is going back to her previous home?

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Aging sucks, especially when the brain withers away and atrophies.

9:22 am

Trifioso

yes, the memory care unit. it is our dearest hope she can stay there. it may mean transitioning her to a wheelchair to eliminate fall risk. NO idea how that will go

9:25 am

Scrabbler

She must be kept safe.

9:25 am

Trifioso

yes.

9:26 am

rubyfoo

DON4T YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE BETTER NOT TO BE AWRE OF YOUR DECLINE, l4M SICK AND WILL ULTIMATELY DIE FROM THIS? BUT THE FACT THAT L4M STILL SHARP? CAUSES ME TO OBSESS ABOUT DETH

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Watch the TV show, Catastrophe, for numerous laughs and a taste of Ireland.

9:26 am

rubyfoo

mY HUSBAND? WHEN HE LOST HIS MARBLES WAS OBLICIOUS

9:26 am

Trifioso

I am not sure, ruby. I am really not. She is not aware of her decline, but we are

9:26 am

rubyfoo

sorry about shouting

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, Ruby.

9:26 am

Trifioso

shout all you want, ruby, it is a suckful thing

9:27 am

rubyfoo

My husband didn't know. lt was hard on me, not on him.

9:27 am

rubyfoo

For me, every day is precious but l go t sleep thinking about dying and Wake p the same way

9:28 am

Scrabbler

But we don't usually get to choose our ending. I was at a funeral yesterday for a friend that, at age 76, collapsed with a massive stroke. She never regained consciousness. That was a perfect end for her but not her family or friends.

9:28 am

rubyfoo

Maybe my new oral chemo, Xeloda, will buy me some time

9:28 am

Soodle

Hello. Hugs all round ((((())))

9:29 am

rubyfoo

((soodle))

9:29 am

Trifioso

(((( soodle ))))) boy oh boy do I need a cup of tea with you right now!

9:29 am

Scrabbler

Soodle, I was thinking of you when watching the TV show, Catastrophe, with Irish actress Sharon Horgan. Hilarious show.

9:29 am

rubyfoo

FOR THE MOMENT? NO SIDE EFFECTS AND EASILY MANAGEABLE PAIN

9:29 am

Soodle

Scrabbled

9:29 am

Trifioso

off to the hospital, apparently beloved is ready now (eye roll) MEN!

9:29 am

bichon

Yeah ruby

9:29 am

rubyfoo

afain, madmenoisy!

9:30 am

Scrabbler

Memento mori. We must accept that we will die in order to truly live.

9:30 am

rubyfoo

the typo queen!

9:30 am

Soodle

scrabbler - I love that show. Sharon Horgan is brilliant.

9:30 am

Soodle

Trif Much love & hugs & good wishes.

9:30 am

Scrabbler

Someone told me to watch it and I was quickly hooked. It is so well-written and so funny.

9:30 am

Trifioso

xoxox

9:31 am

rubyfoo

l asked my oncologist friend, during one of my crises, if l was dying, and she said "We are all dying".

9:31 am

Soodle

How you doing Rubes.

9:31 am

cosdem

Im sorry Trif I can relate.

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we are, Ruby.

9:32 am

Soodle

Hi Cos. I see you are going through hell. Virtual hugs to you & Ryan.

9:32 am

rubyfoo

l'm loving spring, giving the pond fish names; some are more than a foot long

9:32 am

Scrabbler

What kind of fish, Ruby?

9:32 am

Soodle

You should take up fishing!!!

9:33 am

rubyfoo

The weather is crazy, but l'm so happy to be warm after this cruel winter

9:33 am

Scrabbler

It is snowing here now. I woke up to see a white ground.

9:34 am

Soodle

It has been the worst winter that I remember. I crave some Vitamin D.

9:36 am

Soodle

I've just been out mowing ( or as I say, moaning,) the lawns. Ancient lawn mower, ancient me .... I fought the lawn & the lawn won!

9:37 am

bichon

Really, Scrabs?

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Soodle.

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Yes, snow on April 29. I recall snow on some Mother's Days.

9:38 am

bichon

Fortuneately we only have cold rain

9:39 am

bichon

qu 8/55, second one, pls

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I agree with penquis. With huge grids you can type words that you suspect are there and most of the time you are right.

9:40 am

penquis

bichon....i have only one qu 8/55....to feel more nauseous....

9:41 am

Q words are rather friendly :)
Hi all!

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi Kate. Do you have snow too?

10:05 am

TraderKate

Shhhhh! If you ignore it, it will go away ;)

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, ok. I won't look out the windows anymore.

10:06 am

TraderKate

It did fall, but has melted now.

10:06 am

LuvWordGames

It comes & goes, kate. I'm so tired of colder weather

11:23 am

flosey

ah Kate, that is what I miss most I think, skating at "Little Switz" the most beautiful outdoor rink I've ever seen

11:23 am

TraderKate

We all are, it's been a cruel season thus far.

11:24 am

Shirlockc

my blueberry bush died -- i spent all morning trying to dig it up -- gave up for now

11:24 am

LuvWordGames

yes it has. But it's supposed to be close to 70 tomorrow & am going kayaking so I have that to look forward to

11:24 am

TraderKate

hi ((flo)), where is Little Switz?

11:25 am

TraderKate

are you sure Shirl? It might just be very late to bud this year... lots of false starts to spring

11:26 am

TraderKate

Luv, we hve to wait until ed. for the 70F... but should get close on Tues.

11:26 am

Shirlockc

i started by trimming it back and all the branches were dead -- it's a goner. the other bushes are already budding

11:26 am

flosey

ah, thinking of you in Ontario, but still too far - Little Switzerland in Scarborough, Ont. it was about half way between West Hill (where we lived) and the High School - we took the bus up but often walked all the way home

11:27 am

flosey

"we" were quite a large group

11:27 am

TraderKate

Oh flo, I've not been there - rarely ventured east of Yonge

11:29 am

TraderKate

St. I used to attend summer skating in West Hill though :D
That does sound like fun, nice to get out with "the gang"...I miss Toronto

11:30 am

TraderKate

It's been a hard winter for the garden Shirl... I haven't been out much to inventory here - it's been way too wet.

11:33 am

LuvWordGames

sorry peri, my clues aren't clear, both 9's build off the 8, which builds of the 7

11:34 am

bichon

even more confused

11:34 am

flosey

it is truly a site to behold - built up from the beginning normal arena size, to eventually go around a large circle of trees = beautifullly lit with coloured lights. Created and run by a family, name eludes me at the moment - their kids went to same high school as a great majority of us. It was in a valley, beside a creek that supplied the water to flood it. A wonderful Scottish family, Dad did the flooding and Mom ran the gate and snack bar. You could hear the wonderful music long before you entered that part of the valley

11:34 am

TraderKate

the ci 9s come off the ci 7

11:34 am

LuvWordGames

ci + a part of a boat, or to be strict

11:35 am

LuvWordGames

then add a vowel to the 7

11:35 am

LuvWordGames

and latin plural for a 9

11:37 am

11:39 am

LuvWordGames

11:40 am

TraderKate

Bye Luv

11:45 am

flosey

Kate, sorry, I'm forgetting how long ago that would have been!!! Probably only if the son kept it up -- or, if it was sold. It's been so long since I've been there - ugh!!! I hate to think back It would have to have been taken over by others, when I think of my last visit!!! have been living in BC since '95. wow but it is all such a wonderful memory - I do hope someone kept it going - it drew from quite a distance.

11:46 am

bichon

Why is reich not a word?

smithchick

Bye, penquis!

4:33 pm

rururocks

that's the third time that came up

4:40 pm

MollyL

How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Nein

4:41 pm

MollyL

And reich is not a word because the only words playable are the ones approved by the ancient, dinosaur Enable word list. They pick and choose what words can be used.

4:43 pm

smithchick

Yes, I think any time something can be done over again, you should be able to add an er and make that a word. You can totally re ra4/4 something.

4:44 pm

lynxxx

I think because Reich is a proper noun

4:52 pm

ChampFit

Totally agree with smithchick, and am annoyed reich isn't a word.

5:03 pm

MollyL

Reich means realm in German. I don't think that is a proper noun. Enable will accept some foreign words "merde" and not others "merci".

5:07 pm

lynxxx

I do know all that of course but you try googling reich (all l/c) nothing comes up except with capital

Doesn't stop me from grumbling while playing. ;)

: D Champ. Grumbling while playing seems to be the Babble norm.

grumble away (as I grumble about all the spanish words accepted - not being in the US) but it is interesting to understand while some are accepted or not

5:11 pm

ChampFit

It's my martini....making me quite the rebel.

5:12 pm

smithchick

It is interesting. Like the slang na5/14. I was surprised that it was accepted.

5:13 pm

ChampFit

Which is why I should stop "thinking" and just type.

5:24 pm

MollyL

I find it sad that people in other countries think that Spanish words have something to do with the US. I guess this country has become so populated with Hispanic people that Spanish words are now associated with America.

5:33 pm

ChampFit

You know i live in Houston. My church has over 8500 families, and the Hispanic community is more than half of that. I guess their words are assimilating, and it's more colloquial now.

5:34 pm

ChampFit

Being from a border state, it's to be expected.

5:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We have a lot of Latinos from many places and they make up an important part of our country. Also, many Spanish named cities are so named because Spanish explorers were conquerers.

5:37 pm

In California we have more Hispanic Americans than any other ethnicity.
