You have family in the WEston Rd/Langstaf area, don't you flosey?
12:39 pm
TraderKate
(Somewhere in Woodbridge, anyway..)
12:41 pm
flosey
no Kate, one son in East Toronto, the other son North/West Toronto
12:42 pm
TraderKate
I thought you were the one with someone off Weston
12:42 pm
TraderKate
Road..or was it Jane of Keele.... doesn't matter. I have a mind like a sieve :)
12:44 pm
flosey
no, not familiar with that area at all Kate, perhaps a friend, but I've never been familiar with that area
12:45 pm
TraderKate
Someone else then.. where in NW TO?
12:45 pm
flosey
grew up in the Scarborough area then moved to Willowdale
12:45 pm
TraderKate
It just sticks in my head because the main rail yard in Toronto was between Jane and Keele mostly north of Hwy 7...so it is a point of reference for me
12:46 pm
TraderKate
ah..I do remember you teling me about Little Switz! :)
12:46 pm
flosey
I think the area where my oldest son is would be Woodbridge??
12:47 pm

I mean back to Toronto area
1:06 pm

That would be nice. Any special reason?
1:06 pm
flosey
2 sons still there plus many other cousins, etc.
1:07 pm

So, a visit, rather than big famiy reunin, wedding, christening etc...
1:07 pm

and also old friends
1:08 pm
flosey
no special event, just to see loved ones, etc
1:09 pm
TraderKate
I hope you wait until we at least get spring to stay- if not summer (which was AWOL last year)
1:10 pm
flosey
I'll let you know, do you keep in touch with any babblers in the area?
1:13 pm
TraderKate
I keep in touch on FB, not much for e-mail flosey. There aren't a ton of Babblers in TO.. we have a few in the "far east" like Whitby. There's Crossy, but you couldn't pay him enough to cme to Toronto...and there's no Go train out his way yet...
1:15 pm
MLFAN17
hello again, supposed to get rain sometime today and rain for the next few days different percentages
1:15 pm
doseffing
... admittedly Crossy would drive to Toronto from Collingwood ... but you could take the GO to Barrie which is about an hour from Collingwood
1:16 pm
doseffing
... and in summer you can take the GO Train from Niagara to Toronto
1:17 pm
TraderKate
Hello Whitby contingent ;)
good idea dose. I know they have expanded the Barrie routes and think they have even ectended the run past Barrie a few times a day... it even runs to Niagara now
1:19 pm
doseffing
... GO has expanded and is expanding but I don't imagine the train will ever get to Collingwood ... there might be a GO bus from Barrie to Collingwood ... ... unfortunately the most convenient way to get there is going to be a car for a long time
1:21 pm
TraderKate
The drive from crossy's place to Barrie wouldn't be bad - especially for a noon/sfternoon meet up...but he does have a work schedule to contend with now
Pretty sure the Barrie train runs all day now - rather than a bus outside of the rush hour trains
1:24 pm
doseffing
... I'd guess he's a forty-five minute drive from Barrie ... it's been too long since I've been up that way
1:24 pm
TraderKate
I haven't seriously looked into times and cost of train from Miagara - it goes to St Kits for sure, but there eas talk of extending to N Falls.. It WAS only trains in rush hour, with buses to Aldershot/Burlington?Hamilton. not sure now...and I wouls still have to get from Fort Erie to NF or St. Kits (2-3 buses with poor schedules)
1:26 pm
TraderKate
When you're in cottage country, a short drive can still be a nightmare... but depending on the time of year, he could be escaping black flies and shad flies ;)
1:27 pm
doseffing
... The Niagara train is a summertime thing mostly. The regular Toronto-Aldershot train switches south just before Aldershot and stops in Hamiton and St.Kitss and I think somewhere else before getting to Niagara ... I think it runs three or four times a day in summer ...
1:28 pm
doseffing
... he's up on the lake ... on-shore winds ... no bug problem where he is ... just prom night drunks in May and June ...
1:32 pm
Judi
Hiyas, Kiddos. Geesh. Ate some turkey breast for lunch, now I've got the sleepies.
1:33 pm
doseffing
... need cranberry sauce to counteract the turkey sleepiness ... and coffee ... lots of coffee
1:34 pm
Judi
Hmm. Had plenty of coffee this a.m. Perhaps some SUGARRRRRR would help.
1:35 pm
doseffing
... in the form of cake and ice-cream ... ... at least you'll nap happy
1:35 pm
Judi
* off to find a sugary nosh *
1:35 pm
doseffing
... good hunting
1:36 pm
NatashaW
maybe Judi's onto something... I just ate the largest doughnut I ever did see, from "Dough" in NYC, plus an iced coffee, and am sailing through the grid. Or perhaps it's all those e's and r's... :-)
1:38 pm
doseffing
... they do help ... got most of the 'e's ... but I'm short on the "r"s
1:38 pm
TraderKate
sorry dose.. was looking at schedules for GO... looks like its'a a bus to Burlington no matter when I travel...can't find times for St. Kits..looks like that train now runs to Fonthill instead
1:40 pm
TraderKate
It would only show me schedules up to end og June..and they were ALL buses between Burlington and Niagara..will look more later using Aldershot instead
1:47 pm
doseffing
... the train is starting up this weekend ... it's just a summer tourist thing ... ... but I didn't see a schedule
1:52 pm
TraderKate
I have given up... the site is a mess....
I did glean that the trip by train only runs on weekends.. otherwise it is a minimum of 3.5 hour journey 1 way with bus to Burlington....and that's without construction traffic...and I still have to contend with 2 buses to get to NF or 3-4 to get tjo St. Kits...this sux
1:53 pm
TraderKate
the fare looded like it was $20 one way...plus TTC there is a metro pass thing though now...for all transit
1:53 pm
TraderKate
can you tell I've been out of TO for 5 years now?
1:54 pm
doseffing
... easily
1:56 pm
doseffing
... how would you get to Pearson Airport? ... the train into the city from there is great
1:56 pm
TraderKate
There was an article in the NF Review that they were going to make the run year round though... 2.75 hours on a milkrun bus :/
I can look into WEGO bus... cheap if you can book early but never done it before. I should see if anyone i know is doing the VIA runs to NF/St. Kitts.. I may be able to hirxh a ride
1:57 pm
TraderKate
I'd go Union to Pearson Via the old Brampton/Bramalea Go which is now Metrolinx... they have reduced the fares on that.. they were 10.50 one way airport to union...
1:59 pm
TraderKate
It could cosr me the better part of 100 jsut to travel.. plus 9+ hours of trains and buses. I don't think it's do-able -especially on a week day
2:01 pm

Too bad joso can't be found.

Have a good time in New York. Not a place I would ever want to visit, but lots of people love it.
7:02 pm
rururocks
new York is fabulous.. fun, exciting, a zillion things to do.. great museums, restaurants, and the people are really nice too
7:02 pm
rururocks
just their football team sucks :D
7:07 pm
rururocks
and even that not for long.. they drafted some good players
7:10 pm
MollyL
I'm not a person who likes big, over crowded cities I'm sure New York is fun for people who don't have that issue.
7:12 pm
rururocks
ah.. well that I understand.. it's just different than that though.. it is a city you don't want to go to on a budget that's for sure.

Lizlin

7:18 pm
rururocks

MollyL
<---Should have used penultimate in my clue
7:19 pm
Lizlin
Wow. I missed so many plurals yesterday.
7:20 pm
MollyL
No, a scrambled bird ejection is an omelet
7:20 pm
Lizlin

Of course. I stand on my head to complete them.

7:24 pm
MollyL
And flush down the toilet backwards.
7:24 pm
Lizlin
No the water just circles round the other way.
7:25 pm
rururocks
i wonder about mafia toilets in austrailia
7:25 pm
Lizlin
Backward toilet flushing would just be messy.
7:25 pm
MollyL
Round the other way is backwards for us.
7:25 pm

9:32 pm

en8 trapped (using a shorter s word of the same basic meaning), en8 trapper
9:35 pm
hurshy
i'm finding S words harder than R though
9:37 pm
TraderKate
your EN 8 has 3 different 8s from the EN 7 before it hurshy - if you're still looking
9:37 pm
hurshy
ahh thanks, i missed it cause it comes from the center E instead
9:37 pm
hurshy
traps, for any onlookers...
9:38 pm
TraderKate
It's tricky snagging them all ;)
9:38 pm
hurshy
well that only leaves one more 8 for me
9:38 pm
TraderKate
and the person who does...
9:39 pm
hurshy
right, i said that in my 9:32 clue
9:39 pm
TraderKate
oops, sorry...
9:39 pm
hurshy
no need to be sorry :)
9:42 pm
hurshy
ever notice how people in murder mystery shows think if they saw, spoke to, or heard from someone recently, then they cannot be dead now?
9:42 pm
hurshy
ahh thanks kate - had the 7 and forgot to pl it
9:43 pm
hurshy
a mere 24 words remain
9:43 pm
hurshy
une bagatelle
9:43 pm
TraderKate
Hadn't noticed hurshy, but now that you mention it... it always seems to work that way
9:43 pm
TraderKate
de rien ;)
9:44 pm
hurshy
it always makes me want to say, that is how death works. first you are alive, and then you are dead. if being alive a few hours ago guaranteed that you'd be alive now, then nobody would ever die!
9:45 pm
TraderKate
that's the shock of coming to grips with the news, likely
9:46 pm
hurshy
yeah, i know
9:46 pm
hurshy
but it's odd
9:46 pm
hurshy
when you see it over and over
9:47 pm
hurshy
i wonder if real police encounter that the same way
9:48 pm
hurshy
and why do they even have detectives tell the news? why not hire like, a trauma therapist to tell people right from the get-go?
9:48 pm
TraderKate
Probably something to do with plot and charater development for hte story...how else would they tie everyone together and create "flashbacks"
9:49 pm
TraderKate
Well, it is television... gotta keep the story interesting.
9:50 pm
hurshy
so you think real police forces do have trauma therapists whose job is to tell people the bad news?
9:50 pm
hurshy
i'd be impressed if so
9:54 pm
TraderKate
I wouldn't think so hurshy... that is more of a mass trauma thng - and fairly recent too...never used to happen when I was young. there weren't any specialist like that then (that I know of)
9:54 pm
hurshy
that's what we need tons more of in this world - counselors.
9:55 pm
hurshy
what? it's like saying we need more peace :)
9:56 pm
TraderKate
we do need more peace... on the fence about proliferation of counseling for small things that should normally be handled in-family. Not that there aren't some good reasons for getting specialised counseling.
9:57 pm
hurshy
if you have to inform people of a loved one's death - that's a trauma
9:57 pm
mkg
i say all kids shoulld have to take psych in school.
9:57 pm
hurshy
and life is hard. most people can use some help dealing with it.
9:58 pm
TraderKate
you mean like police informing of auto accident? I believe they are trained for that.
9:58 pm
libarebel
SN8-- those who make lip twisting insulting faces
9:58 pm
TraderKate
Agree with that - psych should be a required course
9:58 pm
hurshy
i have 16 left!

HI libarel...and mkg came back! :)
9:59 pm
TraderKate
go, go hurshy!

10:01 pm
hurshy
lol - this dialogue made me laugh:
"what's wrong?"
"nothing"
"try telling your face that"
10:01 pm
mkg
just read an article about the palestinians: it was interesting. it said since 1945, the end of WW2, over 10 million refugees have fled and started new lives in new places. it said the only refugees in world history who did not take roots and form new lives were: the palestinians. they were kept in camps purposefully by their leaders who told them they would wipe out the israeli's and get them back their land. and this mind set has held them back as a people. they are taught to hate jews, hate israel. but they are not taught to hate the other arab states who refused to give them a place of refuge. they are not taught to hate the grand muftie of jerusalem who told them to flee. they are not taught to hate their own leaders who teach them hatred and violence. i never read this before and so it was a suprise. it said the mind set of the palestinians, particularly those in gaza, is not one to ever say ok, we will stay where we are and create a great nation here. it was interseting.
10:01 pm
TraderKate
ty lib... I put that up for hurshy and mkg..ty for the hint for it!
10:02 pm

way back when, part of their lands went to the formatin of Israel, but outside of the 6 day war, the history is still quite murky for me... it is a very complex problem

My mom is reading a historical fiction about the six day war, by Herman Waugh. I think I'll read it when she's finished. I realize it will not be completely accurate but historical fiction is often a good way for me to get a feel for an era.

I didn't watch Big Brother at home, but at other kids' homes we watched BB & raised our glasses of milk to toast the prez-- they showed his picture & played "Hail to the Chief"-- how ridiculous that seems now!

On a grid with 7 E's, it can be rather difficult to figure out which is the word that starts from 4th row E in the middle...
11:19 pm
TraderKate
were you amused Nat?
nan came back :)
11:19 pm
NatashaW
I was resisting the impulse to "try to help" as I figured I'd just muddy the waters yet further
11:20 pm
TraderKate
lol... most people ask for colimns... that was the behinning of the end for me. really tired :/
11:20 pm

still looking for that re 7/32 that follows replayed {the movie)
11:20 pm

you should have jumped in... i shoulda scrolled back to see what i missed...
11:21 pm
TraderKate
Nat or Tall Mike... wan t to take this one? she has been asking for ages
11:21 pm
NatashaW
re7/32 - that big screen at the back of the altar in church...
11:22 pm
NatashaW
did that suffice? great! I couldn't find a way to clue it that didn't violate some sensibilities
11:23 pm
TallMike
Clue or stats for bottom row E pls?
11:24 pm
TraderKate
sometimes you just have to spell them out... I hadn't looked that one up, but guarantee I won't remember it next time either
11:24 pm
NatashaW
I love obscure nouns
11:24 pm
TraderKate
ES 5/10
11:25 pm
TraderKate
definitely
11:26 pm
TallMike
Thks much TK
11:26 pm
NatashaW
I can never answer those row/column queries as I don't quite get the rules for deciding which letter starts the word (when there's more than one of same letter that might start it)
11:26 pm
TraderKate
:D my pleasure TM
11:27 pm
TallMike
It's been a long time since I sweated through chemistry.
11:27 pm
cybernan
*!*~*!* thanks for the help
11:28 pm
TraderKate
always starts from top left...horozontally to right then omto the next row Nat... still tricky on this grid
think some of the EN ords that are related actually start from different Es... someone said, anyway
11:29 pm
TraderKate
that word and variations are frequent fliers here tm
11:29 pm
TraderKate
congrats nan!!!!
11:30 pm
TallMike
Starting to get the hang of this but must sleep now. Nite all.
11:31 pm
NatashaW
thanks for re-explaining (! one of the few "re" words not on the grid today). Hoping this time the info doesn't escape out of one of the many holes in my brain
11:31 pm
cybernan
ty kate -- off to get a snack before the flip
11:32 pm
TraderKate
niters TM...it won't take long before some of our "babblets" become second nature (like "the volcano" or "needlecase") many are crosswoed puzzle words
11:32 pm
NatashaW
Hubby just turned out all the lights and dog went upstairs. Think they're giving me a hint... night all!
11:32 pm
TraderKate
niters nat
11:36 pm
TallMike
It's not the babblets which throw me, it's the words I have not seen for a very long time and the others I never met before.
11:40 pm
TraderKate
there are some really weird ones in here and definitely some "nonwords"...
11:41 pm
TraderKate
you will encounter a good number of science-y words herefor sure...my last was anestri... checked a few dictionaries and found the probable root, but not the actual word.
11:45 pm
MaMaWA
HI gang , i am still not getting the re 9 . i dont understand the old movie reference. any other clues pls
11:47 pm
MaMaWA
is it more of a 7 or 8 ?
11:47 pm
TraderKate
not sure what the movie reference was...
do you have the EN 7/28 that means toss hats in the ring to compete?
11:48 pm
MaMaWA
i have an en 7,28 but its the trapping one
11:48 pm
ursh
it is more of a re7/28 to go in again - the 90 is a plural
11:49 pm
TraderKate
It is doing the EN 7 again
The root word is an access poibn t - a gate or door could be called an * * * * * way...that is the root, you have to plurasl the root word the do it again for the RE 9
11:49 pm
MaMaWA
i keep trying that but it wont go \
11:50 pm
TraderKate
not quite ursh... the 9 follows the "go in again 7 word"
11:50 pm
TraderKate
it is NOT the same word as the re 7 before it
11:51 pm
TraderKate
do you have the SE 8/40... chop of the guard's head and you have the basis for the RE 9
11:52 pm
MaMaWA
i think i know what you are saying but it must be an unfamiliar word the word im thinkiing ends in y
11:52 pm
TraderKate
THAT is the clue that we all should have started with!
11:52 pm
ursh
mama end it with someone making an effort
11:52 pm
TraderKate
the root DOES end in a Y yes
11:52 pm
cybernan
re 9 : space capsules coming back into earth's atmosphere and gravitational pull
11:53 pm
TraderKate
that 5 letter word that ends in Y must be made a pl...
11:53 pm
TraderKate
go back to the SE 8 take off first letter and put RE in front
11:54 pm
MaMaWA
i got it finally and that is what i thought all along but i must have been misspelling ! TY ONE AND ALL
11:54 pm
cybernan
oh well, I tried -- think I am invisible today
11:55 pm
MaMaWA
i saw your clue several times nan and that is what i kept trying !
11:55 pm
TraderKate
niot invisible nan... a lot of people understood after they get the word... I think it is because of getting hung up on the go in again word and tryingf to make that fit
11:57 pm
TraderKate
yay nan for the clue that worked, grats on getting it mamaWA
11:57 pm
MaMaWA
and i would swear i tried it properly spelled as well ... LOL
11:58 pm
