I hope you are doing well, geek.

2:54 pm

pippingeek

hanging in there, it's been a tough month. how are you doing?

2:54 pm

player girl

hello everyone. I think sploot should be a word. Sounds so right.

2:55 pm

BzznBea

And what would be your definition of that, girl?

2:55 pm

player girl

Imagine a bag filled with mud landing against a wall.

2:56 pm

BzznBea

That's a good one. LOL! I can hear it!

2:56 pm

player girl

:-D

2:57 pm

pippingeek

ah, it's the sound of the past month of my lifew!

2:57 pm

BzznBea

Mine too, actually.

2:57 pm

player girl

Oh no pippin. Sorry to hear that

2:58 pm

player girl

Sorry to you too Bea

3:00 pm

BzznBea

Eh, I'm fighting the good fight and will come out victorious, one way or another. I keep looking at the postives in my life...

3:00 pm

pippingeek

eh, such is life, right? there seems to be some good happening around the corner (crossing appendages) and if dad makes it through his brain surgery thursday then that's a new journey

3:01 pm

BzznBea

Oh, geek, I know how difficult it is to deal with aging parents. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

3:01 pm

player girl

Here's sending good vibes to all of you and praying for good outcomes.

3:01 pm

pippingeek

thank you both

3:02 pm

pippingeek

and yes, positives and gratitude are super important!

3:02 pm

player girl

We just ended election day here. (Israel) My son-in-law brought my 92 yo MIL to vote. I'm not sure how much she really understands but she voted and seemed to be with it.

3:03 pm

BzznBea

That is awesome for your family and your MIL.

3:03 pm

pippingeek

that's lovely

3:05 pm

BzznBea

After the last week, I am so happy to hear of others success stories or their hope for success. I tend to be the other end of the spectrum. I'm trying...

3:06 pm

player girl

It was pretty cool.

3:06 pm

pippingeek

well if i had no hope, I wouldn't have applied for nursing school, but man am I keeping everything crossed!

3:08 pm

BzznBea

Good for you, geek! My daughter is an LPN working with dementia patients. She is awesome! Now she is working for her RN with two babies, 4yo and 1 yo. She is my hero.

3:09 pm

player girl

Good luck with Pippin. Hope you hear good news soon.

3:12 pm

pippingeek

i want to be a hero! but hey, my partner is proud of me

3:22 pm

BzznBea

Just remember, geek, in the end, you are the only one that matters. If you are proud of your accomplishments and happy with your life, you are a success and a hero.

3:22 pm

pippingeek

good sentiment to remember!

3:37 pm

pippingeek

i have a serious problem with a lot of these words. if these are valid word then sploot should definitely count too

3:40 pm

hokie carla

For the record, I tried sploot this morning as well. :D

3:40 pm

pippingeek

3:42 pm

Soodle

Can I help anybody? It seems the trickier the grid, the quicker I get fireworks. (Go figure!!). Happy to provide inadequate clues for a while....

3:44 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, soodle. I'm just starting out with my first pass.

3:44 pm

3:45 pm

BzznBea

3:45 pm

wht

Can I get a clue for the pi7?

3:45 pm

BzznBea

Thanks for that one!

3:46 pm

pippingeek

it's a definite unword

3:47 pm

pippingeek

pi + ***w business + **neral macarthur

3:48 pm

Soodle

Nope!! Itâ€™s a word. Meaning Old Wiveâ€™s Tale or superstition in this neck of the woods.

3:48 pm

wht

ty pippin, Definately an odd word. It sounds like a Polish potato dish.

3:49 pm

Kamanjah

I found "evil spell" under an alternate spelling.

3:50 pm

Soodle

In common usage round these here parts. Usually spelt PishÃ³g.

3:51 pm

pippingeek

i just feel like if we can't use latin or french or german then gaelic shouldn't count either! (teehee)

3:52 pm

Kamanjah

The spelling I found ended in gue.

3:52 pm

pippingeek

waigt, is gaelic the same as old irish? i'm bad at this game...

3:55 pm

Soodle

Yep. Gaelic is Old Irish. A quirky language. How anybody is supposed to know words from it is baffling.

3:57 pm

wht

The most inscrutable thing in the world is how words were selected for inclusion in the Enable dictionary. I was inclined to think they were chosen by casting lots, but my experience leads me to believe that chance is too straightforward a process to describe the results.

3:58 pm

Kamanjah

Gaelic is a difficult language to learn. The words are usually spoken very differently from the spelling. I tried for about a year and got frustrated with it.

3:58 pm

bmb444

aite

3:59 pm

Soodle

And for the record - the correct pronunciation of PI 7/44 is..... and to the penalty box I go....is Pish - ogue ( the second consonant to rhyme with rogue). Your welcome. ðŸ¤ª

4:01 pm

pippingeek

let's have a party in the PB, I'll make cocktails

4:02 pm

hokie carla

no penalty! I appreciate the pronunciation lesson.

4:03 pm

Soodle

ðŸ¤—ðŸ¤—ðŸ¤—ðŸ¤—

4:03 pm

pippingeek

ugh, i hate when i can't find a four letter word

4:03 pm

pippingeek

it makes me want to say many of them

4:04 pm

hokie carla

si4? that one gave me a bit of a fit

4:05 pm

pippingeek

no, it was an easy fish, i just wasn't lo**ing in the right direction!

4:06 pm

hokie carla

that was my problem with the person that flies the plane!

4:06 pm

Soodle

Itâ€™s a great word to have in your vocabulary Pippin. You can spit it out, yet not be offensive. A bit like supercalifragistiexpialidious!!!!

4:08 pm

BzznBea

clue for in 7, please?

4:08 pm

hokie carla

in + small drink + freud thing

4:09 pm

Soodle

A bit wan &unintresting

4:10 pm

Hokieâ€™s clue perfect.

4:10 pm

4:15 pm

hokie carla

And I'm going to sit out at yet another 90+ degrees soccer game. Hoping fall comes soon.

4:25 pm

pippingeek

good job bea!

4:26 pm

pippingeek

oy, carla, that's warm. up here in chicago it's cooling off more than i like

4:27 pm

Soodle

And just as background noise â€¦ I spent last weekend in Castle Leslie in Co Monaghan. Where Sir Paul McCartney married Heather Mills. A most stunning venue. Quirky, historic & very guest-centred. If any well-heeled Babblers were thinking of visiting Ireland - this place is highly recommended.

4:27 pm

pippingeek

oh cool!

4:28 pm

Uneaixoise

How fabbo!!

4:28 pm

Soodle

Less well heeled Babblers could slum it chez Soodle!! ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£

4:29 pm
