12:26 am

Rainiqui

wa 8, nbt, nbs

12:27 am

justafreep

thanks, rainiqui.

12:29 am

cybernan

thought that was a proper noun -- ty - - also nbt, nbs

12:30 am

justafreep

so did I, nan

12:30 am

justafreep

be7

12:31 am

justafreep

1:08 am

dofith

Following on discussion of wa 8 - who remembers the late 1950's song? Stonewall Jackson? Now I am really showing my age! Great foot tapper song.

1:09 am

ursh

nope dofith - i would have to go with ABBA

1:13 am

rbud

1:14 am

ursh

ef 6/36

1:18 am

rbud

got it! yay! nbt/nbs

1:29 am

dofith

Yes, ursh - ABBA as well. Both songs use wa 8 same way, but still surely a proper noun? (ursh, are you even old enough to remember s song from the 1950's?)

1:36 am

ursh

dictionary lists it as the name of 3 cities in the world and also as a crushing or decisive defeat

1:36 am

ursh

hahaha I am plenty old enough - born in 51

1:43 am

dofith

Just a kid! I'm a year older.

I chatted with Dr. G once about the possibility or reviving Babble from its "legacyware" state. Imagine, if you will, in addition to the regular 5x5 daily grid, a new 10x10 "weekly grid" of 2000 words or so. This way if the daily is small, we can still get out word fix on the big weekly grid.

3:23 am

crosshair

Excuse typos.

3:25 am

crosshair

I am quite sure that all current babblers would offer up a one time donation for that upgrade!

BzznBea

And where Napoleon was defeated

8:25 am

MLFAN17

i would not have thought that would work either

8:26 am

crosshair

it is famous enough to have become a byword, so Enable accepts it.

8:27 am

hurshy

like being "an apollo"... but yeah, i thought even as a byword it was still proper

8:27 am

hurshy

in this case

8:27 am

MLFAN17

should i know both wo words?

8:28 am

hurshy

yes

8:28 am

MLFAN17

ty hurshy

8:28 am

crosshair

Enable is, and always has been a strange and mysterious thing--accepting that which should be denied, and denying that which is commonplace.

8:29 am

MLFAN17

hurshy i was trying to make it more complicated lol

8:29 am

hurshy

oh but that pr group are such nice words!

8:46 am

hurshy

with my Rilla, it is kisses that are not her jam. i try to restrain myself as much as i can.

8:46 am

hokie carla

phantom problem

8:47 am

hokie carla

Winston loves kisses. in fact, he gives them to random strangers all the time.

8:47 am

hurshy

she will lick me, but, my kisses on her head is what she objects to

8:48 am

cybernan

good morning eveyone -- going to be another scorcher today

8:49 am

hokie carla

Winston is a true golden retriever - an attention whore. So he likes those and he loves hugs. it takes quite a few boops in a row to annoy him.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Same here, nan.

8:49 am

hokie carla

howdy nan

8:50 am

cybernan

8:52 am

cybernan

8:53 am

hurshy

i think we should try to popularize "toodle pip" as a goodbye more. i feel that it would help the world, because you cannot be a person who says "toodle pip" and also be violent.

8:54 am

zoozzoom

BE 6 & 7

8:55 am

9:03 am

rururocks

i could use a pointer towards the fl7

9:03 am

hurshy

9:04 am

zoozzoom

Small pieces of vegetables.

9:04 am

rururocks

9:04 am

zoozzoom

Slaps, Ruru with a wet fish.

hursh

9:05 am

zoozzoom

BE + irritated.

9:05 am

hurshy

ahh thanks

9:05 am

MollyL

I always think of toodle pip as proprietary to Zoom. It's like his signature sign off
: D

9:06 am

hurshy

i associate it mostly with Bertie Wooster

9:06 am

MollyL

Who is Bertie Wooster?

9:07 am

hurshy

one of PG Wodehouse's main characters

9:07 am

hurshy

Jeeves is his valet

9:07 am

zoozzoom

Jeeves & Wooster comedy show.

9:07 am

MollyL

Ah Brit TV. Ho wonder I don't know him

9:07 am

hurshy

BOOKS first, then Fry & Laurie show

9:07 am

hurshy

sigh

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Yay Hurshy.

9:08 am

zoozzoom

Yes Books first. I agree.

9:08 am

MollyL

Well Hursh, some people only know things from TV

9:08 am

hurshy

i feel rather unable to relate to such people

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Me too.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

What are you reading now, hurshy? Recent good reads?

9:10 am

hurshy

i've been re-reading. first Persuasion and Sense & Sensibility, now The Small House at Allington

9:10 am

Scrabbler

Re-reading favorites is always nice.

9:11 am

rururocks

i just reread Squeeze me.. love that book

9:11 am

hurshy

i'm down to FPRT, 1-1-2

9:12 am

zoozzoom

Rebecca is still one of my favourite books.

9:12 am

rururocks

never read it

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go!

9:13 am

zoozzoom

Marcel Proust books are my most difficult reads as I do not understand a lot of the words he has used. I am not well educated like that and it takes me an age to keep looking up the words. I am now on book 4 of 6 from this author.

9:14 am

hurshy

i haven't tried proust or james joyce as i always hear how difficult they are

9:15 am

rururocks

I'm no longer into difficult anything :D

9:15 am

zoozzoom

Rebecca is an excellent read, Ruru. It is by Daphne Du Maurier

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Ugh, grade 12, Jame Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I was clueless.

9:15 am

rururocks

what is it about zooz?

9:15 am

Scrabbler

*James

9:16 am

hurshy

henry james already bewilders me, not with hard words, but with unclear referents of pronouns

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Turn of the Screw. Was that Henry or William James?

9:17 am

hurshy

henry

9:17 am

hurshy

williams was more known for psychology, not so much novels

9:18 am

hurshy

*william

9:18 am

zoozzoom

Basically it is about a lady companion who finds herself in love with a well to do man who at some point marries her and the difficulties she has with a different way of life. There is a few twists in the story I will not say as it will spoil the read.

9:19 am

zoozzoom

There was a film made of the book but it is rubbish and not worth watching.

9:20 am

rururocks

so many books don't translate to movies

9:20 am

hurshy

ugh, scrabbler, is there anything that can be done if one seems to have pulled a muscle in one's shoulder, or is it just a matter of doing one's best not to aggravate it?

9:21 am

zoozzoom

From expereience not a lot you can do but give it time.

9:22 am

hurshy

i overstretched it trying to reach over a COVID divider thingy at school, sigh

9:22 am

rururocks

it's easier on men to pull a muscle

9:22 am

zoozzoom

Ouch! Not nice, Hurshy.

9:23 am

zoozzoom

I did not think that was made of muscle, Ruru Hahaha!

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Rest and time, hurshy. Ibuprofen or naproxen. What day was the injury?

9:23 am

rururocks

:D Zooz

9:24 am

hurshy

idk, several days ago. it's like, sometimes the least little thing i do with that arm hurts it, and i never really know when it's going to happen

9:24 am

hurshy

it doesn't hurt unless i do something, like smooth out a sheet or something

9:26 am

MollyL

Zoom gets off a good one (yes, I said gets off)

9:26 am

Scrabbler

The first 2 days after an injury are the worst (inflammation) then you will improve. Apply heat.

9:27 am

MollyL

And Hursh, welcome to the elder years. When you can throw out your back just by sneezing

9:31 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway so that is enough for me. I need to hike at the park.

LeslieAnn

12:06 pm

hokie carla

crosshair

Was hunting for my last F for hours, only to finally discover that is it simply cheese. :/

1:23 pm

HarryHood

we all spend our lives searching for meaning, to only find out that the meaning of life is simply cheese.

1:23 pm

joym999

Yum....cheese.

1:23 pm

crosshair

it is all about , chocolate, cheese, or bacon--everything else is secondary.

1:24 pm

HarryHood

well cookies are pretty essential.

1:24 pm

HarryHood

although they can be lumped in the chocoloate category

1:26 pm

crosshair

:)

1:26 pm

crosshair

My goal in life is to outlive my doctor so I can eat whatever the hell I like. :)

1:28 pm

joym999

lol

1:29 pm

crosshair

Like George Burns when given trouble for smoking cigars at 90 years of age, he said "What? It's going to shorten my life somehow?"

1:31 pm

dcseain

would you like moist ow5? LOL

1:34 pm

HarryHood

that would be a funny scene in Airplane - coming around and passing out moist baby birds.

1:34 pm

crosshair

are they reusable?

1:34 pm

dcseain

LOL yeah it would

1:38 pm

joym999

2:55 pm

joym999

I manage to miss that ET4,4 almost every day.

3:00 pm

hokie carla

rehi - 3 left, 2 5's and 1 6, 2 B's and 1 P

3:04 pm

joym999

FW for me. I listed w/ 23 left. Do you need some clues, carla?

3:05 pm

hokie carla

pretty sure I have all the P6's, meaning it's a 5 and a B5 and 6. is there a B5/6 combo?

3:07 pm

joym999

yes, there's a BE5/6

3:07 pm

hokie carla

regular word or something ridiculous?

3:08 pm

joym999

there are five5 PA5s

3:08 pm

joym999

two PO5s

3:08 pm

hokie carla

ok, missing a PA

3:08 pm

joym999

and two PR5s.

3:09 pm

joym999

the BE5,6 is something I've very vaguely heard of, but pretty uncommon.

3:09 pm

wht

The be5/6 are just nuts

3:09 pm

hokie carla

well, that makes me feel somewhat better

3:10 pm

hokie carla

does that mean actual nuts or you are confirming they are ridiculous

3:10 pm

joym999

right, they are nuts. That's why they sounded vaguely familiar.

3:11 pm

joym999

which PA5s do you have? There's one plural, and a word I associate with bread but the dict says it's fabric.

3:12 pm

joym999

Then there's dad, and a word that might describe a kitty, and then a babblet

3:12 pm

hokie carla

I have 2 5/12 and 2 5/20

3:13 pm

joym999

You're missing a 5,12 then. Clues below.

3:14 pm

MollyL

The whole chat is basically a clue fest these days

3:14 pm

hokie carla

maybe the babblet but I think your definition is different than mine ðŸ˜œ

3:15 pm

hokie carla

you're right, I should just go to the list

3:15 pm

joym999

could be. it's a word that someone who's Catholic might be familiar with.

3:15 pm

hokie carla

I thought that was the father one

3:17 pm

hokie carla

oh, they are related. it was the metal plate one, which I always get. not sure why I couldn't see it today.

3:17 pm

joym999

the 3 5,12s are the metal plate, dad, and the bread

3:18 pm

hokie carla

could've sworn I tried that be5. oh well.

3:29 pm

wht

Can have a clue for the wa8? It is probably obvious but I am just not seeing it.

3:29 pm

hokie carla

well it's a proper noun that got turned into a common noun - think napoleon

3:29 pm

hokie carla

and ABBA

3:30 pm

wht

thanks hokie. It was so obvious when I finally saw it.

3:30 pm

wht

That is fireworks for me

3:31 pm

wht

Does anyone need cryptic clues to drive them nuts?

3:39 pm

joym999

Nice offer, wht. Could you throw in some obscure pop culture reference while you're at it?

3:40 pm

crosshair

12 left,and down to the final grind. :)

3:43 pm

hokie carla

are you calling ABBA obscure??

3:43 pm

hokie carla

that was their breakout song, they won some european contest with it.

3:45 pm

sukee

Now I have a certain song going through my head.

3:46 pm

crosshair

Just don't play "Nina, Pretty ballerina."

3:47 pm

sukee

You are evil :)

3:47 pm

crosshair

:)

3:48 pm

hokie carla

4:25 pm
