Morning, Une.

Scrabbler

Hi IG.

6:26 am

ItalianGreyhound

Yeah, Scrab - I need my caffeine to get going

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Just one cup in the morning. And to abort migraines.

6:32 am

ItalianGreyhound

I admit to a bit more - gotta have a boost in the afternoon

6:32 am

Scrabbler

If I have caffeine after 11a I have trouble sleeping.

6:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

what is this "sleep" you speak of? : )

6:33 am

Scrabbler

To sleep, perchance to dream.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

And now I must get ready for work. So long, Babblers.

Happy Bloomsday all!

7:39 am

MollyL

For those who don't know, Bloomsday is a celebration of James Joyce. It is celebrated on June 16th because that is the day featured in Joyce's novel "Ulysses"

8:09 am

Soodle

And in honor of Bloomsday, â€˜intellectualsâ€™ who claim to have read Ulysses, dress up in the fashion of 1904 - (straw boater hats are essential for the gentlemen), and visit the various sites around Dublin which featured in the novel, doing readings & re-enactments. Itâ€™s quite a fun day, or it would have been, had festivities not been dampened by covid restrictions.

8:14 am

rururocks

I never read many of the "Classics" way too heavy reading for me

8:15 am

Soodle

There are classics, and then thereâ€™s Ulysses! It goes waaaay over my head.

8:21 am

MollyL

Yeah, but you have got to love a line like this:
â€œThe sea, the snotgreen sea, the scrotumtightening sea.â€

8:23 am

mael

yeah, Ulysses is in an experimental category all by itself, honestly

8:23 am

mael

and I say this as an English major

8:26 am

rururocks

it takes a lot of balls to write scrotum tightening

8:26 am

MollyL

Just like Shakespeare, Joyce's writing was of the period in which he lived. Not many of us can hang with 1920 speak. And he was writing about 1904 so that colors how it was written as well.

8:27 am

MollyL

It does Ru. Kind of makes me blue.

8:29 am

hokie carla

I might need more coffee

8:30 am

rururocks

I mean they do it in SF but who knew on the sea?

8:31 am

hokie carla

I like how sc6 is in the grid in honor

8:31 am

rururocks

homie.. you missed your tiara day a few days back

8:32 am

hokie carla

oh, I got it even though molly didn't want me to

8:32 am

MollyL

Really?

8:32 am

hokie carla

8:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

8:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

8:35 am

hokie carla

8:36 am

hokie carla

I think it's the same as st8, at least in my head

8:36 am

MLFAN17

ty italian

8:36 am

rururocks

well it wouldn't be in your head exactly hokie :D

8:37 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

8:37 am

ItalianGreyhound

I guess you SP to prove you have the SC

8:38 am

hokie carla

8:38 am

MollyL

*Wonders how many people are looking for st8

8:38 am

hokie carla

I'm sure a few

8:39 am

hokie carla

but if I said it then it would give away sp8

8:40 am

MLFAN17

12:41 pm

hokie carla

6, have caught up to moo unless heâ€™s just not updating us

12:46 pm

hokie carla

1-1-3-1 PP C R A G. Historically not good with the 6s so this is bad for finishing sans list.

12:58 pm

hokie carla

Checked the flip for my last 7 - a past tense I thought was a phantom

12:58 pm

moolingwa

I still have 5 to go

1:05 pm

1-1-1-1

1:06 pm

moolingwa

1:06 pm

moolingwa

1:31 pm

hokie carla

Duh, forgot enable includes those Pâ€™s. R A now

1:32 pm

hokie carla

So A6 and R6 left

1:36 pm

moolingwa

I can guess the a6

1:36 pm

moolingwa

r6, would need to know which one you have

1:36 pm

hokie carla

Iâ€™m guessing 75% of yours are a specific type of word yuo donâ€™t think is allowed

1:37 pm

hokie carla

Ok, please do

1:37 pm

moolingwa

found two p words

1:37 pm

hokie carla

I have a chemistry R

1:38 pm

moolingwa

and you have over 80% of the r word ;)

1:38 pm

moolingwa

I guess technically you have 100% of it, just haven't assembled it yet

1:38 pm

hokie carla

Were yurr Pâ€™s a 5/6?

1:39 pm

moolingwa

yes

1:40 pm

1:41 pm

moolingwa

1:41 pm

moolingwa

We have it from time to time

1:42 pm

hokie carla

2nd letter?

1:42 pm

hokie carla

Btw, phantom atrocity

1:43 pm

moolingwa

ar

1:44 pm

hokie carla

Points? Just not getting it. obvi.

1:45 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's not an obvious word

1:45 pm

moolingwa

ar 6/24

1:46 pm

hokie carla

Not arsony or arcany if anyone is wondering

1:48 pm

hokie carla

Shew, finally fireworks. Gracias

1:51 pm

Uneaixoise

Clue for ar6?

1:52 pm

hokie carla

We usually see it as ar6/18, so change a vowel to a sometimes vowel

1:53 pm

hokie carla

Rhymes with putting oil on someone

2:12 pm

moolingwa

congrats hoke...we almost finished the same time today

2:13 pm

moolingwa

sorry, had to step away for a call

2:18 pm

hokie carla

No probs. I am just sitting on a beach right now. I hope Molly is siting down when she reads that.

2:22 pm

moolingwa

Sounds great...I wouldn't mind sitting on a beach right now...though probably wouldn't be playing babble :)

2:24 pm

hokie carla

I forgot my bag of magazines Iâ€™ve been saving up to read, so nothing else to do while sitting here. I have my kindle but need a book.

2:27 pm

hokie carla

Itâ€™s kinda boring without kids to play sports with on the beach

2:31 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I can see that

3:19 pm

welki

3:19 pm

4:00 pm

Soodle

Oh man. I envy you Carla. On an ocean beach. No kindle or kids to distract you. CARPE DIEM!

4:03 pm

Soodle

Having said that - Iâ€™m looking forward to being distracted by Son of Soodle, his GF & my darling grandson on Friday. Havenâ€™t seen him in person since Christmas 2019. The fatted calf is quaking in its boots.

5:06 pm

hokie carla

ohh, enjoy, soodle!

5:28 pm

MollyL

I'm sitting down Carla. I know you lead a charmed life. Good for you.
