hurshy

i just re-watched Love and Other Disasters - very sweet little film, so sad that we lost Brittany Murphy, she was charming

12:25 am

hokie carla

haven't seen that but of course know her from clueless. just recently watched a show about her death. very sad.

12:25 am

hurshy

we watched clueless, then followed it with Love and Other Disasters :D

12:26 am

hokie carla

I will have to check it out

12:27 am

hurshy

oh hey i found that nine, only 26 minutes after freep, lol

12:27 am

hokie carla

still haven't. I'm assuming compound since I can never find those.

12:27 am

hurshy

no, not compound.

12:27 am

justafreep

I have 13 Rs left, hurshy

12:28 am

hurshy

i like to try to go in order, left to right, top to bottom. but i threw in the bottom R early since there were only 2

12:28 am

hokie carla

still have the 6 r's left :D

12:28 am

hurshy

we're so close to having tesseract!

12:29 am

rururocks

oh found the nine finally myself

12:29 am

hokie carla

:D

12:30 am

hokie carla

<---- not really looking for the 9

12:31 am

hurshy

it reminds me of a show from the 90s with Jonathan Brandis - another actor lost too young

12:31 am

rururocks

was the mi 8 called

12:31 am

cybernan

hello everyone :)

12:32 am

hokie carla

ok, I remember that show had se ocean word in it

12:32 am

rururocks

hi nan

12:32 am

hokie carla

I don't think so, ru.

12:32 am

hurshy

it didn't have the word in it, it just SOUNDS LIKE the 9

12:32 am

hurshy

but yes it took place in the ocean

12:33 am

hokie carla

ok, trying to rem. the show. it also had guy from Jaws, right? it wasn't Sea something?

12:33 am

hurshy

it was, yeah

12:33 am

hokie carla

time for the internet movie database (IMDB for everyone but ru)

12:33 am

hurshy

and yes, it had Rob Schneider

12:34 am

hurshy

dang, do we not get ANY sq words??

12:34 am

hokie carla

roy! rob is from SNL. I was like, huh?

12:35 am

hurshy

Roy, Rob, i was so close, lol

12:35 am

hokie carla

I tried squeam because how can you be squeamish without squeam

12:35 am

hurshy

ditto

12:35 am

rururocks

i'm off to bed.. night you night owls

12:35 am

hokie carla

okay, got the 9.

12:35 am

Douglas

Right there with you

12:35 am

hurshy

one more S will finish yon S words

12:36 am

hokie carla

I just need 1 upper A which is like a christmas (in july) miracle

12:37 am

Douglas

O come let us ***** him

12:37 am

hurshy

if i got one more upper S and one more 3rd row T i would have R S T all done!

12:37 am

hokie carla

I have that one and all forms of it

12:37 am

hokie carla

I still need 9 of those S's!

12:38 am

hurshy

not sesterces

12:38 am

hokie carla

oh, thx. that helped me get a group

12:39 am

hurshy

it did?

12:40 am

hokie carla

6 lines in a sonnet

12:40 am

cybernan

think jury duty, hurshy

12:40 am

hokie carla

she has that one

12:40 am

hurshy

oh i thought you meant you got a whole GROUP of WORDS lol

12:40 am

hokie carla

haha, I wish

12:44 am

hurshy

Ts Trounced

12:44 am

hokie carla

I finished the middle T ;)

12:44 am

ursh

aaah - jury duty did it for me :)

12:45 am

hurshy

i was dying to clue it as a jury thing but i thought maybe it was too early after the flip lol

12:45 am

hokie carla

I wondered why you went with Jonathan brandis show instead of jury duty. LOL.

12:46 am

hurshy

because i figured obscure clues were more permissible

12:46 am

hurshy

in the first hour

12:46 am

cybernan

sorry - thought hurshy was asking for a clue

12:47 am

cybernan

not seeing that mi 8

12:47 am

hurshy

an understandable confusion, cnan. i do need one more S but it isn't that one.

12:48 am

hurshy

meanwhile i Nailed the Ns, Whacked the Ws, and Hammered the Hs

12:48 am

stidmama

nan just got the mi 8 want a nudge?

12:49 am

hokie carla

I have 5 tiles grayed (not incl. the 0s) but as usual need 1-2 on most the others.

12:49 am

hurshy

somehow i seem to be better at staying stubborn and determined at flip time

12:49 am

cybernan

wondering why we can have a me 5 maid but not a man

12:50 am

hurshy

Qs Quailing in their Qboots

12:51 am

rbud

stid - that mi8 is a good word for you, huh?

12:51 am

rbud

though you'd never! ;)

12:52 am

rbud

perhaps as a form of address...

12:52 am

cybernan

not finding the mi 8

12:52 am

stidmama

indeed, rbud! LOL more often than not...

12:53 am

hokie carla

I just found an mi7 but no 8

12:53 am

stidmama

has to do with my profession, nan

12:53 am

hurshy

don't tell them that 2 + 2 = 5, that would be mi8ing arithmetic

12:54 am

12:54 am

12:55 am

hurshy

laterz and have fun all

12:55 am

stidmama

Well I am down to 68, and NBT, NBS. sweet dreams all! *poof*

12:55 am

hokie carla

good night, still have to go through the bottom row

12:56 am

cybernan

don't know what is happening with the arithmetic other than that the equation is incorrect

12:58 am

hokie carla

well, way past my bedtime, will save 47 for tomorrow. good night!

12:58 am

cybernan

found it -- don't think that is really a word though

12:59 am

hokie carla

oh, just saw the mi8 on the way out.

12:59 am

cybernan

makes absolutely no sense, but then that is nothing new

12:59 am

Douglas

Why am I even here? I'm not very good at this. It might be because the people are so nice.

1:00 am

cybernan

on my way out as well - good night everyone

1:00 am

Douglas

The rest were the usual suspects

8:08 am

hokie carla

8:09 am

hokie carla

on top, there are still 7 missing from bottom. forgot that was there.

8:10 am

hokie carla

8:19 am

8:29 am

mkg

8:30 am

LuvWordGames

sorry it's an mi 8 not 9

8:31 am

hokie carla

yeah, sorry. mi8. and golf is not a clue because that's not accepted.

8:32 am

LuvWordGames

8:36 am

hokie carla

yw

8:48 am

hokie carla

25 left, 11 of which are 2 tiles are the bottom row. it's a mystery to me where those words are.

8:52 am

hokie carla

just found 3 on the bottom row by making up stuff

9:04 am

MollyL

That is how you play this game. Just keep typing until it takes something.

9:05 am

hokie carla

yep

9:08 am

MollyL

Not really challenging when the words you get make no sense to you

9:09 am

Wendrie

but then you start to remember some of that nonsense

9:11 am

hokie carla

6 left after going to the list. can't even make up the right combo of letters.

9:13 am

hokie carla

5, I accidentally skipped the d's

9:20 am

hokie carla

where is MLFAN? haven't seen her here in a while.

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

she was here yesterday

9:32 am

hokie carla

I did say hi to her on serpentine one day recently

9:40 am

Trifioso

hello friends

9:42 am

saanichcat

morning Trif!

9:42 am

Trifioso

i hope mlf has not become the latest babbler to get fed up with the bullying and snark and quit. There have been entirely too many

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

hi trif

9:43 am

Trifioso

morning saani and TO, hope you both had lovely weekends

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

um... how do you tell the difference? :P

9:44 am

Trifioso

lololol - true fact, there

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i crossed paths with a herd of deer trying to cross a busy road this AM walk. interesting.

9:46 am

Trifioso

i'm finally doing what I should have done days ago, but didn't because I am stupid and stubborn - I am resting up an ankle I badly twisted, but have been walking on anyway. It blew up like a ballooooooon on saturday. Today I am sitting down.

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

good for you. sometimes we need to just stop and tcb

9:47 am

Trifioso

i am not so good at resting.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i see

9:48 am

Trifioso

brb, have to yell at an errant goat....

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

hahah hug it for me

9:48 am

Trifioso

hes being naughty!

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

is the goat in your living room? :P

9:49 am

Trifioso

no, trying to eat this chromebook and my paper notebook I foolishly brought out to the patio with me.

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahaha they will nibble anything. last time isaw one up close it was eating my t shirt

9:50 am

Trifioso

ohhhh that happens

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

it's sort of yucky

9:50 am

Trifioso

now my dog is running around in the goat pen. It's basically chaos here

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

and with all these city kids who are terrified of them anyway.

9:50 am

Trifioso

I am just going to sit here. let them work this nonsense out

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

well, it is boring here except yesterday i happened to be at my kitchen window and there was a woman running toward me. she exited to the street and kept running.

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i have no idea. i thought i was hallucinating. i ran to the front door to yell at her and she just ran down to the main street. ?

9:53 am

Trifioso

oh my! Wonder what that was all about? did she seem hurt in any way?

9:53 am

Trifioso

what is the polite term these days? "altered?"

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

no. had an athletic top on and a baseball cap. just looked like a jogger.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

oh hell, at this age at this time in the world verything is altered.

9:54 am

Trifioso

is jogging not allowed on your street?

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

it is allowed and even if not, there are not rules now. you know this.

9:55 am

Trifioso

sorry, I am confused - why then were you yelling at her? Was she in your yard or something?

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. she was running towards the side yard to exit.

9:56 am

Trifioso

ahhhh that is troubling.

9:56 am

Trifioso

I knew I was missing something there

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i wanted to know why she was there. but i am casual about leaving the back sliderunlocked when i walk. i've stopped.

9:57 am

Trifioso

I would imagine.

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, not a kid from the yards in the back getting a ball or something, that's fine.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

yard backs up to three others on the adjacent streets, all fenced.

10:00 am

Trifioso

oh crap its raining! I need to hobble like crazy!

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

careful there! good day!

10:05 am

M3

clue for the 1st re 6, 21 please

10:07 am

MollyL

re + walking aid

10:08 am

M3

oh jeeeex Thx Molly :)

10:14 am

Trifioso

made it, but it was toooo funny. I had out with me my chromebook, phone, class materials, and the two goats. My first instinct was to scoop everything up and chuck it on the dining room table, which is just inside the patio doors. The goats first instinct was to take the opportunity to bolt inside the "people barn" and hide under the dining room table. Keep in mind, I am moving at about .5 mph, so it was quite, quite funny. All sorted now.

10:17 am

Trifioso

M3, your icon is ADORABLE!

10:19 am

M3

oh my thats so old, 2009 maybe, Chewy is no longer with us. ( its the pet i had when i signed up for Babble.

10:19 am

Trifioso

have you met scrabbler yet? You two will have MUCH to admire about each other!

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Hello everyone!

10:20 am

10:20 am

M3

10:20 am

Trifioso

CAR!!!!

10:20 am

car.eeyore

Just let the goats in next time and fend for yourself!

10:21 am

car.eeyore

Please note, not a drop of rain on this side of town.

10:21 am

Trifioso

in where, the house? No way!

10:21 am

Trifioso

they are spoiled enough as it is!

10:21 am

car.eeyore

Oh, I 've seen the pics...they've been in there before!

10:21 am

Trifioso

secret message for family only: speaking of spoiled, turns out someone's trip to p town is off, spoiled by covid. Womp wommmmmp.

10:22 am

car.eeyore

conserve that energy my luv....

10:22 am

Trifioso

yes, but that was highly unauthorized access. NOT trying to make a habit of it!

10:22 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:22 am

10:31 am

M3

ty hun, got it

10:41 am

Trifioso

phantom: secret

10:42 am

car.eeyore

excellent one as well

10:43 am

cybernan

how is it we can have latin names for other plants, birds, insects, etc., but not the maple tree?

10:44 am

cybernan

we should have a protest -- discrimination against Canadians :D

10:44 am

Trifioso

it really is. take to the streets!

10:45 am

MollyL

Canadian Lives Matter!!

10:45 am

car.eeyore

:P

10:45 am

Trifioso

but does enable take poutine?

10:46 am

car.eeyore

it doesn't take queso :(

10:46 am

cybernan

but it takes rye

10:46 am

car.eeyore

Ok. 80 left. Time to make the dough....nuts! lOLOLOl See what I did there?

10:46 am

cybernan

or ryes

10:47 am

MollyL

Nope Enable doesn't take poutine

10:47 am

cybernan

don't think it takes loonie either

10:47 am

Trifioso

there's some other weird nomative it won't take - senor but not herr, or something

10:51 am

Trifioso

wowza, how is it noon already? Time is FLYING lately

10:54 am

MollyL

That is ridiculous. Enable takes every other obscure term for currency but not loonie?

10:55 am

Trifioso

enable is loonie

10:56 am

rururocks

looney

10:58 am

hurshy

i like making up words with a prefix

10:59 am

hurshy

if you pulled up a flower, you could call that mis-we4

10:59 am

hurshy

you threw a party on the wrong day for your friend's birthday? misfe4

11:03 am

cybernan

we were talking Canadian, ru, and that is spelled loonie

11:04 am

rururocks

enable is probably not Canadian

11:04 am

hokie carla

the loonie is a canadian coin, right?

11:04 am

hokie carla

not scottish enough

11:04 am

cybernan

still can't figure out why poutine is associated with Canada though -- Quebec is the point of origin and the only place where it is really popular -- maybe it has spilled over into Ontario

11:04 am

cybernan

yes -- the loonie is a dollar

11:05 am

Trifioso

i try that too hurshy! A lot of babbling is matching up prefixes and suffixes to see what works

11:05 am

hokie carla

because quebec is part of canada

11:05 am

cybernan

then the toonie is 2 dollars

11:05 am

hurshy

i just got one to work

11:05 am

hokie carla

we saw poutine in Canmore when we were there

11:06 am

cybernan

yes but quebec certainly doesn't take up all of Canada , as much as some of them would like to think so

11:06 am

Trifioso

my VERY favorite thing though, is when I mistype something else, and it accidentally makes some random enable accepted word. Freeeeee!

11:06 am

clg47

You can also find poutine in Joseph, Oregon. But I didn't try to use my luck loonie.

11:07 am

clg47

lucky loonie!

11:07 am

hokie carla

yes, but you think things in one state here are all US, so why wouldn't we think something in part of Canada is Canadian?

11:07 am

hurshy

yeah i forget what it was but there was one day a month or two ago where i got a typo with a double i in it for a very weird word that worked

11:08 am

hokie carla

I randomly got a scottish word for most this morning

11:08 am

hokie carla

also just guessed the ca6/30

11:08 am

rururocks

to me Canada is BC and that's the best part

11:08 am

hurshy

well i'm doing much less well than i was last night

11:08 am

cybernan

I do? -- don't think so Carla -- what do I think is common to all of the states that isn't?

11:08 am

hurshy

7 D, 5 M, 5 C, 2 F left to find

11:10 am

hurshy

found a pair of C words

11:10 am

hurshy

oh i suppose i should just get the list

11:11 am

hurshy

my time is more limited than usual

11:11 am

rururocks

only c's here for me 9 of them

11:12 am

hokie carla

I'm just saying I think that's an odd distinction to make. poutine is associated with canada because it's not really in other countries AFAIK. why does it matter if it's only a certain part of canada?

11:12 am

hokie carla

ru, do you have the ca's I was talking about, some kind of sailing ship?

11:13 am

hokie carla

another set that gave me trouble was the full word for a woman's undershirt. I just knew the shortened one and enable would not take that.

11:13 am

cybernan

it doesn't really, other than that Canadians do not associate poutine with canada, but with quebec

11:14 am

hokie carla

ru, there's also the plural that isn't a plural c

11:15 am

cybernan

do you associate jambalaya with the USA or with the creole states? same thing

11:15 am

MollyL

If something is from Canada, is it not Canadian? If something is native to Canada, is it not Canadian?

11:16 am

Trifioso

full word for women's undershirt....hmmmmmm

11:16 am

Trifioso

ah. ok

11:16 am

hokie carla

yeah, but I think any other country will associate US stereotypes with the US as a whole and not specifically by state. And Molly is saying what I was trying to from the beginning, quebec is part of canada.

11:16 am

MollyL

Yeah, I consider the full word the one that ends in ole

11:17 am

hokie carla

like a little tank top

11:17 am

Trifioso

strictly speaking it's not only an undergarment, but thanks anyway

11:17 am

Trifioso

the undergarment has a different ending.

11:17 am

MollyL

That's what Madonna says

11:17 am

hokie carla

ah, maybe that's why I was confused about that word, forgot that version. I am used to people saying it in 4 letters

11:17 am

cybernan

that is my point, molly -- poutine is not associated with canada here - it is associated with quebec.

11:18 am

Trifioso

me too, hokie. Also, my costumer brain is way too rigid - working on it

11:18 am

hokie carla

but our point is quebec is part of canada, so why can't we associate it with canada?

11:19 am

MollyL

I didn't know y'all Canadians didn't consider Quebec a part of Canada. I thought only Newfoundland had to put up with that.

11:19 am

rururocks

i have a hard time understanding what madonna says

11:20 am

rururocks

she always has her mouth full

11:20 am

MollyL

Well, she does have two major points Ru

11:20 am

hokie carla

plus she uses a fake british accent sometimes

11:20 am

cybernan

It is part of Canada, just not all of Canada. All there are many Quebecers that want to separate

11:21 am

rururocks

that she does... I was never a madonna fan

11:21 am

hokie carla

I can see why if the rest of canada doesn't include them ;)

11:21 am

rururocks

we californians want to separate too

11:22 am

hokie carla

ha! was just thinking of y'all.

11:22 am

rururocks

WIBD

11:22 am

hokie carla

apparently my part of VA wants to join WV. why would anyone ever??

11:23 am

rururocks

there go the property values :D

11:23 am

hokie carla

well it's big deal?

11:23 am

rururocks

Well I'll be Damned

11:23 am

cybernan

11:23 am

mkg

Carla, WVA has gorgeous state parks. that is all i know of it.

11:24 am

mkg

maybe taxes are lower!

11:24 am

hokie carla

ah, good one, ru. we can start using that one.

11:25 am

hokie carla

I grew up on the border of TN, so while the VA taxes are lower, all the shopping is in TN, so double whammy.

11:26 am

hokie carla

11:38 am

M3

Oh yeah, i cant spell for toffee

11:38 am

M3

11:38 am

rururocks

that's why you are a math teacher :D

11:39 am

hokie carla

I like "for toffee" way better than when people say they can't do something for sh**. I'm going to have to start using that.

11:39 am

M3

My subject is Computer Science i kinda fell into Maths. Im really dyslexic, i play this thinking it would help!!!!!!

11:40 am

M3

working in a school you quickly think of alternatives :)

11:40 am

11:40 am

M3

11:45 am

hokie carla

11:46 am

M3

im the same Hokie i eat kake handed, my brain is quicker than my body too!

11:46 am

cybernan

I find that when I'm tired the brain won't think "backwards" anymore, which is what a leftie has to do constantly in this right handed world

11:46 am

hokie carla

and I only have problems when speed typing

11:47 am

M3

hokie carla

I'm pretty sure my oldest was a lefty but started writing right in preschool. I'm sure his te7's didn't make him do it, but he just followed what others were doing. he does a lot of stuff lefty and has atrocious handwriting with both hands.

11:50 am

11:51 am

11:55 am

hokie carla

I really don't know how enable makers decided which spanish words to use and which to leave out. common ones like nino/nina not in there. can't think of others right now but know I've tried them.

11:56 am

cybernan

same with the french words, carla

11:56 am

hokie carla

also never know when -t for -ed (like learnt you just used) is allowed, so just try everything!

11:56 am

cybernan

I think it is a matter of common usage in some English speaking countries

11:57 am

hokie carla

I mean on enable

11:57 am

moolingwa

It was whether they were in the 7 or so reference dictionaries they used

11:57 am

moolingwa

So you'd have to ask Random House, American Collegiate, Merriam-Webster etc for their criteria

11:58 am

hokie carla

well, well, well, moo makes an appearance to discuss dictionaries ;)

11:58 am

moolingwa

Hello. I have been given some unsettling news. One of my uncles has been diagnosed with COVID-19. He is in his 80s and heâ€™s also diabetic. He was hospitalized yesterday with dehydration and low blood pressure\. He does not need a ventilator at this time. One of my aunts is in her 90s. She is Covid free, but she has dementia and has been diagnosed with bone cancer.

So very sorry to hear, Angel :-(

5:24 pm

JaxH66

Sorry to hear Angelsong. If your aunt has primary bone cancer the Bone Caner Research Trust based in England is worth looking at, but if itâ€™s secondary bone cancer, then the more mainstream cancer charities are probably a better source of information.

6:29 pm

Wow, so many fruit trees. You must have a great yard.

7:30 pm

origami

It is really big, my lot is .25 acres. But I wouldn't say great - it's not very aesthetically pleasing - just functional.

7:32 pm

Wow, a 1/4 acre? That is a lot of property. More than most people have. You are fortunate.

7:35 pm

I live on a cul-de-sac in an old neighborhood. My lot is shaped like an ice cream cone. My back yard is ugly, but does have the fruit trees and a lovely bamboo grove along the back fence.
