melonheadjujube

OK cr5/14 with an-ed suffix is so a word, as in when you are cr___ed out by something. You would never say cr___t out. That's for when a bug cr__t out from under the breadbox, which would, in the end cr5 you out.

12:31 am

hurshy

5 to go!

12:32 am

hurshy

well argued, melon

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

Thank you!

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

Anyone here play the Spelling Bee in the NYT puzzle pages? There dictionary is weird.

12:33 am

hurshy

phantom: potato

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

yep to that phantom

12:34 am

hurshy

3 to go!

12:34 am

cybernan

are you seeing my regular icon or santa?

12:35 am

dizgrannie

santa

12:35 am

hurshy

regular but if i click i see santa

12:36 am

cybernan

I'm still seeing the regular icon in the chat and I changed it 2 days ago -- must be expert, because it shows up on the babble website

12:37 am

hurshy

i do not use expert and never have

12:37 am

hurshy

just the website

12:41 am

hurshy

the words i need are PAL or LAP or ALP that's pretty cool i can spell three things

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

I need the 4th column E for NBT. Clue, please?

12:42 am

hurshy

hahahahah here i am babbling on my la6 and not seeing that word

12:42 am

hurshy

fencing sword

12:42 am

hurshy

(that is for you melon)

12:43 am

grannyrose

well i'll be on both sides. olive oyl's boyfriend not allowed but past tense of it is.

12:44 am

hurshy

that's because it's really an adj, not a past tense. someone can be po7, but there's no corresponding po6 other than as a proper noun

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

d'Oh! and merci!

12:45 am

hurshy

got my P!

12:45 am

grannyrose

loll... yw and thanx hurshy. i guess i depends on where you put the emphasis.

12:45 am

hurshy

A5 remains!

12:45 am

JaxH66

Cr5 is such a British word. I would always use it rather than the version ending in Ed. Always try so many words ending in that constonant that arenâ€™t accepted

12:46 am

hurshy

and i like to speak that way too. i always say things are ruint.

12:46 am

justafreep

That hasn'tt stopt me from tryingt them all, Jax!

12:46 am

hurshy

TADA!!!!!

12:47 am

hurshy

the thrill of victory, followed by the crushing despair of knowing i have no babble to play for the next 23+ hours

12:48 am

grannyrose

*taps hurshy on the shoulder* move over sistah...

12:49 am

hurshy

with the victory or the despair or both?

12:50 am

hurshy

i mean i guess you can't have that particular despair without the victory

12:55 am

grannyrose

both dear friend. you can weep on my shoulder, i'll weep on yours. that makes two very wet.....ummm...tissues. that's the word

12:56 am

hurshy

i feel like this really does make us seem like addicts lol

12:56 am

grannyrose

anyway, i seem to be acieving stuff this year. have written and posted Christmas cards. i know it is now not the norm, but hey, who said i was normal?

12:57 am

hurshy

i have trouble with it, but, one of my sisters is super into christmas so i made sure to send her one, and then i'll see if i can make myself do more

12:57 am

grannyrose

where's my 'h' go. i know i have one somewhere... acHieving...

12:58 am

hurshy

i'd rather be a-chÃ¨vre-ing

12:58 am

hurshy

(i love goat cheese)

12:59 am

grannyrose

i hear you. i have organised our family get-together for Boxing Day. and i'm now making a start on Christmas Day. working on menus etc.

12:59 am

grannyrose

roflol....so do i. the more feta the betta...

12:59 am

hurshy

you're lucky you can get together

1:01 am

grannyrose

it was hard work hurshy. imagine trying to get nearly 5 million people to do the same thing at the same time.

1:07 am

cybernan

goodnight everyone

4:58 am

player girl

as per Melon's comment, why is po4 okay but not po4ed or po4y, as in "Uh oh the baby po6 and he smells po5"?

4:59 am

player girl

Or even, "I had such a long day, I am just po6!"

5:00 am

ItalianGreyhound

doesn't pass the smell test

6:20 am

HarryHood

nbt! 42 to go - off to work!

7:00 am

mael

oh man, the lack of po6 and po5 is silly

7:02 am

Alycia

7:02 am

hokie carla

yeah, was going to say the same. the past tense is accepted, but not the one who does.

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

hokie carla

bye!

7:11 am

aslindy

carla!

7:12 am

hokie carla

lindy!

7:13 am

MollyL

I don't think it's easy either. But I am not as good at this game as some people are.

7:13 am

hokie carla

well, you're pretty good, so that means it is hard for me.

7:20 am

hokie carla

I always try ayed. with as much weird past tenses of non-verbs allowed, I just don't know why that one isn't. plus, it's scottish!

7:20 am

BzznBea

Morning, friends.

7:20 am

hokie carla

bea!

7:20 am

aslindy

morning bea

7:21 am

MollyL

Master Gardener!

7:22 am

BzznBea

<-----Takes a bow...

7:26 am

hokie carla

<-----now singing Madonna's Take a Bow

7:27 am

MollyL

<---Plugging ears so she won't hear Madonna

7:29 am

hokie carla

that is one of her best songs!

7:32 am

BzznBea

Top row grey! =)

7:32 am

hokie carla

well I only found 11 more in 2nd pass.

7:33 am

hokie carla

not even close to top row gray with that P.

7:33 am

hokie carla

I also have no 7s yet.

7:35 am

hokie carla

ooh, found one! an a even

7:35 am

BzznBea

The spinach eating guy is 7 from that P.

7:36 am

hokie carla

that's weird, thx. and no 6.

7:38 am

BzznBea

Two sevens in the T below that P.

7:40 am

hokie carla

not sure how I missed the one describing candles since I had the 5.

7:40 am

hokie carla

or the other

7:41 am

hokie carla

seems one who puts on lots of clothes in the winter would be a la7

7:42 am

aslindy

oh, that would be me, carla

7:43 am

BzznBea

Poor, cold, lindy.

7:43 am

hokie carla

I def am one too. when I used to play soccer I would put on 2 pairs of pants and 3 tops and other people would be in shorts. but now I see you're talking about your current state. hope you are near one of the heaters!

7:44 am

Jeanius421

it doesn't take the spinach eating guy

7:44 am

BzznBea

It will if you make it an adj.

7:44 am

MollyL

Past tense

7:44 am

aslindy

yes, I have a heater next to me so I'm staying warm.

7:44 am

hokie carla

it's descriptive, like someone is cross*, but this is po7

7:45 am

Jeanius421

Ah ty Bea

7:45 am

Jeanius421

idn't think of that

7:45 am

hokie carla

I've never actually heard that used

7:46 am

MollyL

I object. If that is a word, then so should poopeyed be a word. Kind of like stinkeye, but worse.

7:46 am

aslindy

the worst part is needing to use the bathroom. 54 degrees is cold.

7:46 am

BzznBea

I agree, Molly. LOL!

7:46 am

hokie carla

ugh, that does sound horrible.

7:47 am

hokie carla

my mom grew up with an outhouse and said how horrible that was in the winter

7:47 am

aslindy

I will put a heater in the bathroom when I'm going to shower, though

7:47 am

hokie carla

and my bathroom is the coldest room in our house, so I can imagine you would not want to go, lindy

7:48 am

hokie carla

we actually have a space heater in our bathroom right now

7:48 am

BzznBea

We have space heaters in both both our bathrooms.

7:49 am

aslindy

didn't really think about it until now, but my daughter has heat in her rooms over the garage, and there is a tiny half bath up there... I'm sure it's warmer than 54

7:50 am

BzznBea

Is that a different furnace, lindy?

7:51 am

aslindy

yes. she has a wall furnace up there, separate from the rest of the house

7:52 am

MollyL

You people need those heated toilet seats

7:52 am

hokie carla

that would be awesome

7:52 am

hokie carla

but no outlet in that room

7:53 am

aslindy

the dog and 2 cats have been staying up there with her during the day. at least once she gets home from work. they endure the cold to be near us while she is gone.

7:53 am

hokie carla

I looked into the bidet seats early in the TP shortage

7:54 am

hokie carla

ooh, just one 7 left now

7:57 am

BzznBea

I'm looking for three of those 7's.

8:00 am

MollyL

You can get non-enamel toilet seats that don't get cold.

8:02 am

BzznBea

I want a bidet attachment.

8:08 am

Freeman

my last 2 4's were E and T but you don't need any of those.
