12:29 am

rbud

12:32 am

rbud

keep forgetting to try the "ier" or the "iest"... though not much use for the latter one...

12:33 am

ladyluck5025

I should play this when im awake not falling asleep

12:36 am

ladyluck5025

Mi 7 use an s at the end

12:36 am

rbud

well, I only want to get a good start on it, likely won't last too long, myself

12:40 am

rbud

mi 7 is one of the "more than" words. no S on the end. More foggy?

12:43 am

ladyluck5025

I have mi7 is a for filtering mail with an s

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

hi!

12:44 am

rbud

hmmm, ty, will look for it

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

I have an mi7 that is beyond Errol Garner XD

12:46 am

rbud

oooh, lotsa mi7's, then? :D

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

actually my mi7 is the same as rbuds; I gave my clue as a riff on a famous song title.

12:49 am

rbud

ohhh, clever!

12:50 am

rbud

but not sure I got the same one as ladyluck, with the S, though I did find one like that.

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

I have a to7 that might describe a flute teacher. . .

12:51 am

rbud

:D

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

well, flute teachers, plural

12:52 am

rbud

how about the Dustin Hoffman role in drag?

12:53 am

rbud

or the chewy chocolate-y roll...

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

LOL, yeah and yeah

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

Actually your are another to7, mine is a homonym of the teaching part.

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

I had an old boyfriend who referred to me as to5.

12:56 am

rbud

well, I also have a third one, same base, ends like the Fab Four.

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

With the midwestern vowel sound.

12:56 am

rbud

aw, sweet. :)

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

He was, sometimes.

12:59 am

rbud

whew, finally found a D for the top one for nbt

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

I want fanjoy to be a word!

12:59 am

rbud

well it should be! :D

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

I got that one off the bat, probably because my sis and I had to play a few.

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

the upper row D word

1:00 am

rbud

hahaha, I didn't even see those till you said it, how blind am I? thanks

1:01 am

rbud

mine was de 5/16, which I completely monkeyed

1:02 am

rbud

and another de 5/16 to black it out.

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

mine were the du4/5

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

Ah. monkeyed my way to one.

1:05 am

rbud

the de 5's both end in the same letter

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, one of them sounds of the emerald isle, then (:

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

tx

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

I need the N and the F for nbt and a clue for the 8

1:12 am

Kamanjah

8 has the most space

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, got the 8 (: the 7 was a college dorm-type word, and the 8 added a letter, transforming and informal plural to a superlative. Presto!

1:13 am

rbud

I have one of each, fa 4/7 and na 4/4, both kind of babblet-like. The na rhymes with the ta 4 like the town in New Mexico

1:13 am

Dippnall

na 4/4 both babblts

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

tx, Kamanjoh (:

1:13 am

Dippnall

fa 6 - should start with a ph?

1:13 am

Kamanjah

YW, thx for the other 6. I'm busy mashing the Ms

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

ah, I was one letter off on the na4, as in the sandal

1:14 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, Dippnall, one would think...

1:14 am

rbud

oh, thanks, Dipp, that would never have crossed my mind

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

Thankks, Dippnal, why did I not try that!

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

so, rbud, at least I was not alon (;

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

nbt, nbs, not quite halfway thru.

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

12 of 26 7s. twenty-six! zowie

1:15 am

rbud

yeah, those darn M's are a chore

1:18 am

melonheadjujube

halfway

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

I have 28Ms so far

1:20 am

Kamanjah

Mashed the Ms!

1:21 am

rbud

have to get my mo4 working, I only have 7 M's to go now

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

get all your mo5 working you got this!

1:25 am

melonheadjujube

so far I have 3 mi7s, the most recent being even more Berle-ish

1:26 am

melonheadjujube

Now I'm down to 7 Ms!

1:27 am

rbud

I have an ma 7, what you took the most classes in while in college, based on ma 5, a military rank

1:28 am

rbud

and the ma 6 plural, of course

1:30 am

melonheadjujube

ah, tx for the 7; I had the 5 and 6

1:30 am

melonheadjujube

6 to go!

1:30 am

rbud

and my only other ma is ma 4, spanish for "hand" as in "ma4 y ma4" (hand to hand) Are there more than four ma's?

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

ooh, I did not have that one.

1:31 am

rbud

also wondering if there are any mis words where it functions as a prefix, hmmm

1:31 am

rbud

sure dpesm

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

I have all the Berle ones: ma 4/6/6/7/7/5/

1:31 am

rbud

oops, sure doesn't look like it

1:32 am

Kamanjah

Do you want the answer, rbud?

1:32 am

rbud

I have those, though they seem silly

1:32 am

melonheadjujube

doesn't seem like it. I figured a mistrial would be because one mis+tr5 it, but noooo!

1:33 am

rbud

to which, mis as in prefix, or more than 4 ma words, lol - I'd settle for either or both, haha

1:33 am

Kamanjah

no prefix

1:34 am

melonheadjujube

I have 15 mi

1:34 am

Kamanjah

I did contemplate misro/4ing into the wrong room though, haha!

1:35 am

rbud

:D

1:35 am

melonheadjujube

LOL

1:35 am

melonheadjujube

As a waitress, I thought I might mis+tr4 something

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

there are two more ma for a total of 17 re: Lickety. Imma plug my words in now.

1:37 am

rbud

I have a problem with always trying "misle" as a word, because for a while when young, I thought the word "misled" was past tense and pronounced it accordingly in my head with a long i. Had never heard it, only read it.

1:38 am

rbud

Two syllables, haha

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

3 to go!

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

I missed an obvious one. Oh, them suffixes!

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

same her, rbud!

1:39 am

rbud

me, too, the M's, I mean, and two must be ma's, hmmm

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

2 to go. I forgot to do a word without its suffix!

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

one mi and I'm done with the Ms!

1:40 am

Kamanjah

Yay, firewords!

1:40 am

Kamanjah

This was a good grid!

1:41 am

rbud

yahoo, Kam!!

1:41 am

ursh

rbud - so funny I also have a problem with misled and also pronounced it as a past tense :)

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

TaDah, Kamanjah!

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

Ms completed.

1:42 am

Kamanjah

After I broke down and listed, discovered a lot of plurals missing.

1:42 am

rbud

they say you should never make fun of people's pronunciation because sometimes it means they only ever read the word, never heard it out loud. We must all be readers, huh?

1:43 am

Kamanjah

Nite, all! Or g'day, where ever you may be.

1:43 am

ursh

yip as a child i said mizzled :)

1:43 am

Kamanjah

Oh, hear ya on that point, rbud.

1:44 am

rbud

haha! I still have to look twice, I think, "how awful, that man misled that poor girl..." with the wrong pronunciation...

1:44 am

Kamanjah

I was at the health food store the other day and asked for bioperine (bio-per-ine). The guys says, oh "biop-er-ine?"

1:45 am

rbud

well,now, that's a mouthful, there.

1:46 am

rbud

what do you use that for? new one for me.

1:46 am

Kamanjah

It helps activate turmeric (cucurmin)

1:46 am

Kamanjah

Helps with pain

1:47 am

Kamanjah

It is basically capsuled black pepper - can't eat 10mg of pepper on anything!

1:48 am

melonheadjujube

I always have trouble with apocalypse. It always comes out sort of like "popsicle", which makes me apoplectic. Anyway, try saying "apocalyptic popsicle" three times fast. Worse would be popsicle apocalypse.

1:49 am

worzel

interesting that it doesn't allow listeria

1:49 am

sprite

good morning all

1:49 am

melonheadjujube

good morning!

1:50 am

sprite

how is everybody today?

1:51 am

melonheadjujube

All is well here. Son's 27th birthday is today (:

1:51 am

melonheadjujube

how are you, Sprite?

1:51 am

sprite

oh wow, congratulations on your son!

1:51 am

sprite

I am well! Thanks :)

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks. He and I were overseas for a bit this summer. A week in Tel Aviv, for a wedding, then 6 nights in Paris. He has schizophrenia, so this was a triumph for him. He gets great care, but he also has grown up in a beautiful way, and has a fine character.

1:53 am

sprite

wow melon, such a success story, love it

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

should I know the af7?

1:54 am

DTins

no listeria????

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

thank you Sprite. I am so proud of both my kids. My daughter is 32, happily married.

1:55 am

1:56 am

1:56 am

melonheadjujube

hi and wow, grannyrose

1:57 am

sprite

hello my darling, wtg!!!!!!!!!!
Have not seen you for a couple of days, is all well?

1:57 am

grannyrose

quite tired here. 1 1/2 hours of hydro. this morning. very achy. tried to book in for my next infusion sprite, but they are closed on mondays. 8-(

1:58 am

sprite

aw sweetie. Tomorrow morning then. And tell them your friend sprite said to book you in right away, no waiting time, or else

1:58 am

melonheadjujube

Oh, feel better grannyrose. What is the infusion for.

1:58 am

grannyrose

both shoulders sore, and i have inflamed skin in places which are the damaged nerves flaring up. itchy as all get out, particularly on my hands.

1:59 am

sprite

*gently holds rose*

1:59 am

grannyrose

melon, infusion of ketamine and magnesium for my fibromyalgia. i am now 13 weeks since my last.

2:00 am

melonheadjujube

Ah, never heard of that treatment. I have fibromyalgia myself. I seem to be doing better than I was 10 years ago, of all things.

2:01 am

grannyrose

my sleep pattern is totally in a mess. don says although i am not completely ratty yet, i am on the way... loll

2:02 am

sprite

evil man, lolllll

2:02 am

grannyrose

how are my dear friends? i apologise for hogging chat with my woes.

2:02 am

rbud

ahhh, finally did in the M's... kept getting distracted by interesting chat, haha

2:03 am

grannyrose

as for the af7, melon. probably if you were a seaperson or sailor.

2:03 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

rbud

sprite, melon had a word for your list - fanjoy! though we hadn't given it a proper daffynition, yet. I like it.

2:04 am

sprite

don't apologise, silly, we all share our joys and woes here, that is what a community is about.

2:05 am

sprite

love the word, rbud! Come on, you can think of a great definition!

2:05 am

grannyrose

fanjoy, what a football follower feels when their team wins.

2:06 am

sprite

I like it. In it goes, thanks!

2:06 am

grannyrose

or what an observer might feel when the fan dancer drops her fan

2:06 am

rbud

or someone at a concert, maybe - kind of like fangirling

2:06 am

rbud

I like the fan drop, haha!

2:08 am

rbud

it sort of sounds like it mutated from "enjoy" somehow...

2:08 am

sprite

I think the fandrop and the footballfanjoy are both great ones, so have added both

2:10 am

sprite

did you like the vid of the singing, rose?

2:11 am

grannyrose

oh, sweetie, even with the sound up to the max, there was no sound. i have forwarded it to don to work on.

2:13 am

sprite

yeah it is horrible quality. Here, I don't hear anything at the beginning, then later on it gets a little bit better. Anyway, thought you'd at least like to see it, lol. Just sent you a link to a song that Rob asked me to send to you

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

hi, I'm back. I like the fanjoy defs.

2:14 am

sprite

wb melon, they are in the list now :)

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

Still puzzling over the af7, grannyrose's hint notwithstanding. . .

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

and just got it!

2:14 am

sprite

melon, it is sort of a compound.

2:15 am

sprite

lol, asking is finding

2:15 am

melonheadjujube

It's a good word (:

2:15 am

grannyrose

okay, melon. af3, back of boat + more of more

2:15 am

grannyrose

rlfolll, yay for you melon

2:15 am

melonheadjujube

I did get the first 4 letters, then I goofed around until I noticed the obvious!

2:16 am

melonheadjujube

Sort of the opposite first and_______.

2:16 am

sprite

sounds like a true babble experience

2:16 am

melonheadjujube

"asking is finding" how true, gr!

2:17 am

sprite

*giggles* We are still interexchangeable, rose

2:17 am

grannyrose

yup... loll

2:18 am

melonheadjujube

I'm hitting the hay. nbt, nbs, all the Ms and Ds, the 8, and 19 of 26 7s. 75 to go. Have fun without me!

2:18 am

sprite

nn, melon, sweet dreams

2:18 am

melonheadjujube

Buona notte, tutti!

2:18 am

grannyrose

sweetest of dreams melon. xoxox

2:20 am

rbud

night, melon

2:20 am

sprite

remember I told you guys about the me-time I was gonna enjoy?

2:21 am

grannyrose

yeeeess???

2:22 am

sprite

same day, my beloved asked me to come pick him up again, in belgium, because he was not feeling well... Another 6 hours in a hot car, lol. Poor man had the runs. Not fun when camping.

2:22 am

grannyrose

ugh, poor Rob.

2:23 am

sprite

and poor sprite too, lol

2:24 am

grannyrose

i hope you knew all the potty stops on the route.

2:24 am

sprite

yeah I did.

2:25 am

grannyrose

yes, of course. poor sprite too. it's such a downer to have your lovely day used up like that.

2:26 am

sprite

the bad thing was, I took him there on tuesday, then had to recover all wednesday, then pick him up again on thursday, and was out for the count on friday and saturday. Quite another effect on the body and spirit than a week or longer by myself, lol.

2:27 am

sprite

he is all better now, and I caught his bug. Life can be so interesting ;)

2:28 am

grannyrose

loll... you poor darling. so4 bottom ?

2:28 am

sprite

don't you know it, lol

2:29 am

grannyrose

sounds like don is fixing the sound track on your link. i can hear you singing and i am 4 feet away from him.

2:29 am

sprite

oh wow!

2:30 am

grannyrose

if it is good, would you like me to send it to you?

2:30 am

sprite

oh yes, I would!

2:31 am

grannyrose

hokay. btw Braxton turned 5 today. we are going over for a quick visit in an hour or so.

2:31 am

sprite

congratulations on the little man! Wow, 5 already. I so remember him being born and how scary it was for a while.

2:33 am

grannyrose

yeah. it's amazing isn't it? and yet, he seems quite normal. his parents are a little anxious still as he is very quiet, and reserved. i keep reminding them that his daddy was just the same.. loll

2:34 am

sprite

not all children are outgoing. If his daddy was like that, all the more reason to trust that it is just his nature and nothing worrisome. They should listen to grannyrose.

2:35 am

grannyrose

he is still seeing a paediatrician regularly. but he has/is achieving all the mi4stones. he just likes to check out his world thoroughly.

2:35 am

sprite

nothing wrong with that.

2:36 am

grannyrose

considering that they had to watch the team resuscitate him i don't blame them for their concerns.

2:36 am

sprite

me neither. Better safe than sorry.

2:38 am

sprite

temps of 30 Celsius and up expected for today and the rest of the week :( That is crazy high for the netherlands, and always crazy humid.

2:39 am

grannyrose

eventually they will be able to relax again i am sure.

2:39 am

sprite

yeah they will. It takes time to get over a scare like that.

2:39 am

grannyrose

ugh, i hope your fan is working well.

2:40 am

sprite

My nail model is coming today, so first it is working in the heat. But after that, back downstairs and under the ceiling fan!

2:40 am

grannyrose

*sends sprite a HUGE iceberg* just put it in the bath tub honey, and all that cool air will roll on down the stairs.

2:41 am

grannyrose

is she coming early?

2:41 am

sprite

honey, I have to get ready for her. *hugs* and lots of love. Please take it easy, sweetie.
Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night :)

2:41 am

grannyrose

xoxox darling sprite.

2:41 am

sprite

end of the morning.

rururocks

looked at 5 houses.. only.. but the realtor spent time showing me the better neighborhoods and we got to discuss what I'm looking for so she understands.

10:25 am

rururocks

houses sell there very quickly so if there is one I want I have to jump on it

10:27 am

cybernan

houses are selling here quickly too --- and for outrageous prices -- glad we bought last year as the houses around here have gone up 100 to 150 thousand since and they all need renovation

10:28 am

rururocks

I'm opening an account up there so I have money ready to go
