hello babblers!

12:57 am

mich_pdx

hey M

12:59 am

m9f9l

Loooooong day.

1:02 am

mich_pdx

any flooding out by you?

1:03 am

m9f9l

Not that I'm aware of.

1:04 am

m9f9l

But I've been in the tax office from 7:30 this morning 'til about 1/2 hour ago

1:06 am

mich_pdx

oh my! that's a long day.

1:06 am

m9f9l

Yeah.. I know my brain is fried, because I REALLY wanted "earwad" to be a word. I mean I knew it wasn't, but I really wanted it to be.

1:08 am

mich_pdx

that's when one's ear is full of wax - they have an earwad

1:08 am

m9f9l

Yeah. Tim gets them.

1:08 am

m9f9l

Didn't have a word for it. Now I do.

1:09 am

mich_pdx

coined today!

1:09 am

m9f9l

You're welcome

1:10 am

m9f9l

say WHAT?!?!? It is not a word to be even more ...pi4?

1:11 am

m9f9l

Not coining that one.

1:22 am

mich_pdx

one who pi 4 is there

1:22 am

m9f9l

Yeah I got that one :)

1:23 am

mich_pdx

yep, i've known many pi 4 +y people, lol

1:23 am

m9f9l

I got a 9, yay.

1:24 am

mich_pdx

the 9s and 10 have been elusive - care to hint at your 9?

1:25 am

m9f9l

re9 sounds like something a new agey person would encourage one to be.

1:26 am

mich_pdx

hmmmm......

1:27 am

m9f9l

sounds better if it's in french though.. if you believe it you can achieve it.. :)

1:30 am

mich_pdx

yes! the french hint got me there, plus related

1:30 am

m9f9l

Thought it might

1:31 am

mich_pdx

thanks to Phil Blix for getting me hooked on French

1:32 am

m9f9l

You ever listen to Pomplamoose on youtube? Natalie Dawn does things in french sometimes.

1:33 am

mich_pdx

no, but I'll look for it

1:34 am

mich_pdx

Pink Martini is a favorite of mine, I've been lucky to see them several times over the years

1:34 am

m9f9l

Look for "an old French tune"

1:37 am

dcseain

I've seen Pink Martini several times also. They are wonderful.

1:37 am

m9f9l

Hi seain!

1:38 am

m9f9l

My oldest likes pink martini.

1:39 am

mich_pdx

I was able to see them in September in an open-air concert, the first they've played since lockdown - it was wonderful! Everyone was there - one of the beauties of being in Portland, their hometown

1:39 am

m9f9l

Nice!

1:39 am

mich_pdx

And hi Seain!

1:40 am

mich_pdx

Ok, on that note (pun intended) I'm going off to sleepyland. Happy hunting, friends.

Scrabbler

6:07 am

HarryHood

"artesian" was not found in the dictionary

6:07 am

HarryHood

grrrr

6:08 am

HarryHood

I was so proud of myself for finding that.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I have many proud moments with phantoms.

6:09 am

Uneaixoise

Same here, Harry!

6:09 am

HarryHood

it's not usually capitalized, is it?

6:10 am

Uneaixoise

Don't think so

6:10 am

HarryHood

hmph.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

It seems to be non-proper.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

180 left and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

MollyL

Superlative of airborne

7:37 am

hokie carla

ugh, thanks

7:37 am

hokie carla

dopest

7:40 am

MollyL

Unusual word for the Enable word nerds to include. It must have some Middle-English meaning.

7:40 am

hokie carla

so you're saying it's not the dopest? ðŸ¤£

7:41 am

BzznBea

British

7:41 am

MollyL

You just keep dancing in your MC Hammer pants, Carla

7:42 am

periwinkle

my scrabble dictionary gives the same def as you posted Molly

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

Tx Molly

7:44 am

hokie carla

hmm, no pissier

7:46 am

MollyL

Should be. She is in a pissier mood than she was yesterday.

7:46 am

hokie carla

exactly

7:47 am

MollyL

That diaper is pissier than the last one I changed.

7:47 am

MollyL

I suppose we would be told to say "more pissy".

7:47 am

hokie carla

though not quite what I had in mind, that works too I guess

7:48 am

Uneaixoise

Pissier didn't work..... sigh

7:53 am

MollyL

Yeesh, I was just reading about that couple that stole 18 million securing phoney pandemic small business bailout loans. People can be despicable.

7:54 am

hokie carla

geez

7:55 am

BzznBea

Found a lizard

8:06 am

hokie carla

HOET!

8:07 am

hokie carla

108 left though, and most of the bigs (only have 3 8's). guess I better feed Winston and do some stuff. TTFN.

8:14 am

MollyL

Bea is channeling harpjane

8:16 am

mael

phantom: patisserie

8:17 am

BzznBea

You might want to try that again, mael.

8:17 am

mael

or rather, I might want to try the baker rather than the baked goods :)

8:17 am

BzznBea

Yes. =)

8:17 am

mael

heh

8:18 am

rururocks

only if you knead him

8:20 am

Uneaixoise

Tx mael! Got pa9 baker!

8:22 am

MollyL

I head he makes a lot of dough

8:25 am

rururocks

:D great typo

8:26 am

rururocks

sorry .. i have a crusty sense of humor

8:27 am

hokie carla

what a heel

8:28 am

MollyL

Well, apparently my mind is in the gutter even when I am not aware it is

8:28 am

rururocks

HA.

8:29 am

saanichcat

truly a lot of well-bred people here

8:30 am

rururocks

I would do LOL but that'd be kind of crumby

8:30 am

BzznBea

Mr. Bea just told me there might be a creature stirring in our kitchen. Yea!

8:31 am

Grandma Barb

You folks are a riot!

8:32 am

welki

so much for 'not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse'

8:32 am

rururocks

it's next month when the creatures aren't stirring Bea

8:33 am

BzznBea

I do attract the rodents.

8:34 am

rururocks

maybe it's larry's cheesy personality :D

8:34 am

BzznBea

Could be that too.

8:34 am

BzznBea

His has a lot of "dad" jokes.

8:34 am

welki

yep, last week, a rat, albeit not stirring

8:35 am

mael

dite

8:35 am

mael

oops

8:35 am

mael

PB for me

8:35 am

BzznBea

When I was a single mom, I wrote my version of The Night Before Christmas.

8:36 am

BzznBea

I wish I still had a copy of it.

8:37 am

rururocks

how long were you a single mom before you met Mr. Bea

8:37 am

BzznBea

Ten years.

8:38 am

MollyL

I used to write an "office version" of The Night Before Christmas. That was back when I liked the people I worked with.

8:38 am

rururocks

he married you with kids?

8:39 am

BzznBea

Yes, he did. One teen daughter and one preteen daughter. He is a brave man.

8:39 am

mael

that's how you know he's a good one :)

8:39 am

rururocks

what a great guy.. that's challenging to come into that

8:39 am

rururocks

I knew I liked him a lot

8:39 am

BzznBea

Estrogen oozed from the walls...

8:40 am

MollyL

People marry partners who have children all the time. How do you think they became The Brady Bunch?

8:40 am

MollyL

I have always had Larry's opposite problem. All that testosterone and me.

8:40 am

rururocks

it's hard to handle either way I'd guess. marrying into a set family

8:41 am

mael

definitely

8:41 am

hokie carla

here's the story

8:41 am

BzznBea

He is great with them. They love him much. They told me they would go with him if we divorced. =)

8:41 am

rururocks

aw

8:41 am

rururocks

that's special

8:41 am

rururocks

(and a bit creepy)

8:42 am

MollyL

Carla! Carla! Carla!

8:42 am

BzznBea

I don't think Larry and I had been together more than three weeks all totaled before we got married.

8:42 am

hokie carla

wow

8:43 am

rururocks

omg.. bea!! really?

8:43 am

BzznBea

We met on the internet.

8:43 am

BzznBea

He was living in Raleigh and I was living in KS.

8:43 am

rururocks

oh... interesting

8:43 am

hokie carla

which part of the internet?

8:44 am

BzznBea

We traveled to see each other.

8:44 am

MollyL

Wow, you talk about a whirlwind courtship. Most people hardly know each other after three weeks.

8:44 am

MollyL

Carla, don't make Bea give up her sex chat rooms.

8:44 am

rururocks

(bea is sounding a bit like Kim Kardashian right now)

8:44 am

BzznBea

We got to know each other in a single parent list serve back in the day.

8:45 am

aslindy

my husband and I were married within 6 months of when we met. next year will be 35 years.

8:46 am

rururocks

wow.. I took a LOT longer to get married

8:46 am

BzznBea

The first time we met was in May, 1999. We married on Jan1, 2000.

8:46 am

aslindy

I don't recommend it for everyone, but it worked for us

8:46 am

rururocks

but then she had to adjust to my sick humor

8:46 am

hokie carla

speaking of whirlwind - you all know the song Third Rate Romance? I knew the Sammy Kershaw version and just in the last year or so discovered that was a remake and all the time I was hearing whirlwind rendezvous, I was wrong. what a mondegreen!

8:47 am

BzznBea

I have 75 words left for this afternoon. Got to get someting done.

8:48 am

hokie carla

mr. homie and I met in Aug '93 and then got secretly engaged that Dec. didn't marry until after I graduated college though, so Jan '95.

8:48 am

rururocks

tell mr bea we all appreciate him around here

8:49 am

Sandieangel

could anyone please clue me the pa/60. I just cannot get it. I know the first 3 letters but am stuck after that.

8:49 am

MollyL

Secretly engaged?

8:49 am

hokie carla

so bea and larry were very hopeful the Y2K bug didn't ruin their wedding

8:49 am

hokie carla

yes, engaged but no one knew, hence the secret

8:50 am

MollyL

Why did you keep it a secret?

8:50 am

penquis

pa 9...includes a double consonant and ends in a "more so" type ending....

8:51 am

hokie carla

probably because we were still in college? or we just didn't want anyone to know?

8:51 am

hokie carla

hey pen!

8:51 am

aslindy

pa 9 clued just a bit ago as a pastry baker

8:52 am

rururocks

croissant our hearts and hope to die

8:52 am

mkg

Any clues for the top corner i word? Ty.

8:52 am

hokie carla

you were saving that one to bring it back around, right?

8:52 am

MollyL

Ru, you take the cake

8:53 am

penquis

mkg...is 5/10....japanese word often seen here....

8:53 am

hokie carla

the japanese american we have all the time, mkg

8:53 am

MollyL

It might be a Japanese word

8:55 am

mkg

Ty for is word. Got it.

8:55 am

mkg

Pa: i looked up the word and it says not in dict. Hmmmm.

8:55 am

penquis

it's a French word...

8:56 am

penquis

in any case, mkg, i clued it for you....

8:56 am

mkg

Oh got it because spelling is different. Ty

8:56 am

mkg

Any clues for the 10?

8:56 am

mael

they are two different words

8:56 am

rururocks

I like to rise to the occasion molly..

8:56 am

mael

one's the baker and one's the baking

8:56 am

mael

oh ruru

8:56 am

rururocks

like yeast mael :D

8:56 am

Judi

Good morning, all. I see we are immersed in leaven levity.

8:57 am

penquis

hi judi...

8:58 am

mkg

Any clues and stats for the 10?

8:58 am

aslindy

the 10 starts with di

8:58 am

aslindy

di10,84

9:00 am

mkg

Thanks. Any clues for what the word means?

9:01 am

mkg

Does it come from di 6?

9:01 am

aslindy

no, from di9

9:02 am

aslindy

the 9 means to scatter

9:03 am

aslindy

the 10 is the one who does it

9:03 am

HarryHood

nbs. ty asl

9:03 am

HarryHood

110 to go here.

9:03 am

mkg

Dont have di 9

9:04 am

hokie carla

if an octad is a group of 8, why isn't septad a group of 7

9:04 am

mael

it ought to be

9:04 am

HarryHood

there are many examples of enable being persnickety like that

9:04 am

HarryHood

they're ok with ethane, but not nonane

9:05 am

aslindy

di 9 and 10 have double letter

9:06 am

rururocks

thanks lindy.. i got it

9:06 am

rururocks

now missing just one d

9:07 am

hokie carla

I still need 10 D's

9:07 am

HarryHood

me too

9:08 am

hokie carla

but I wasn't paying attention to all the big clues

9:08 am

rururocks

found it.. locating a spot on a public bus

9:09 am

mkg

Is there a meaning for the di 9/10?

9:09 am

aslindy

yes, at 9:02

9:09 am

HarryHood

100 to go

9:09 am

penquis

aslindy gave you one....read the chat... ;o)

9:10 am

HarryHood

gotta get ready for class. have fun!

9:10 am

Judi

Throwing in the towel with 165 left. Blech.

9:10 am

penquis

bye, harry...

9:10 am

penquis

bye, judi...

9:11 am

hokie carla

but googling septad tells me it's not really a word. from what I read, I think octad is greek which would make the 7 heptad. if only moo were here to explain it to me.

9:13 am

penquis

the Classic Thesaurus says that septad and septet are both groups of seven....

9:13 am

hokie carla

interesting, so I guess we can blame enable then

9:14 am

penquis

yes, i suppose...

9:33 am

MollyL

Pen, your explanation is good for me
: D

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for the 9 and 10!

9:39 am

hokie carla

I think I'm going to need more help with that. "to scatter" makes me think disperse which isn't there.

9:40 am

mael

to fade away, hokie

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

Good clue mael!!

9:41 am

aslindy

hokie it has a double letter, too

9:41 am

hokie carla

aha, thanks

9:42 am

hokie carla

was trying to make a plural

9:42 am

aslindy

no, not plural

9:43 am

hokie carla

it's weird that even though the def is to scatter, fade away made more sense to me

9:43 am

aslindy

it can also mean to vanish, so I think that makes sense

9:44 am

hokie carla

I think of like smoke or steam or just a vapor

9:45 am

aslindy

yes, exactly that

9:46 am

MollyL

If smoke or steam di9s then it fades away and vanishes so all are correct.

9:46 am

hokie carla

yes

9:47 am

hokie carla

but scatter makes me think of marbles, etc

9:48 am

mael

yeah, scatter made me think of disperse too

9:50 am

mkg

Still cant find the di word.

9:50 am

MollyL

Okay this has been WAY over thought

9:50 am

hokie carla

lol, I was just about to say if we didn't give it away now...

9:51 am

mkg

Just cant see the di words. Darn darn darn.

9:51 am

mkg

I only think descendâ€¦

9:51 am

MollyL

The scent will di9 as the mixture dries, and opening a window or running a fan can help lessen the odor.

9:51 am

aslindy

di + double letter + vowel + top of head

9:52 am

MollyL

Or we could just spell it out

9:52 am

hokie carla

just found 4 words based on what I thought was merely a phantom

9:53 am

aslindy

I mean, that's as much a hint as I can give without actually spelling it

9:55 am

mkg

GOT THE WORDS! TY. Whew. That was a long try.

9:55 am

mkg

Off to babysit.

9:56 am

mkg

Ty for all the clues.

9:56 am

aslindy

glad you got them

9:58 am

hokie carla

still have 90 words left somehow

9:59 am

aslindy

clue for pe7,32 please? either one

10:00 am

hokie carla

I have one - think of bogs

10:00 am

cybernan

pe 7 = more like something(one) that bothers you

10:00 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:00 am

hokie carla

thx nan

10:01 am

aslindy

thanks nan

10:01 am

hokie carla

the bog one is same word with one letter difference

10:01 am

hokie carla

is there a weird N because I sure can't find one of them

10:02 am

aslindy

thank you carla

10:02 am

The people who plan things in my office are so lame. They have not even started to plan the company Christmas party. Good luck getting a venue. I am sure they are all booked up by now.

10:28 am

hokie carla

10:31 am

MollyL

Back when I was an office manager and I planned the Christmas party, it was confirmed by Halloween.

10:32 am

hokie carla

so, let me get this straight... the well word AR8 is not actually a word. is it proper noun?

10:32 am

I've never seen it spelled that way

12:22 pm

mab

translations from hebrew do vary quite a bit. different alphabets, etc.

12:23 pm

cybernan

my question is why are all the foreign language words we get in a game that is supposedly in English

12:24 pm

bichon

the dr word is Yiddish [low German]

12:25 pm

mab

so many oddities. why pi 5/12 here - proper noun, yes?

12:27 pm

mab

oh tx bichon. although yiddish does incorporate hebrew, and is written in hebrew characters. confusing kind of.

12:29 pm

bichon

yes and Hebrew incorperates Yiddish

12:32 pm

cybernan

pa 9 please?

12:36 pm

mab

one who makes pastries.

12:36 pm

mab

in a certain european nation.

12:37 pm

mab

umm. not sure really bichon. My sense and exp. is monern hebrew, being a reinvented language is fairly yiddish free.

12:38 pm

cybernan

tried the french bakery, that didn't work

12:38 pm

mab

orthodox in israel speak a jumble of both languages. esp. older people.

12:38 pm

mab

the baker, nan

12:39 pm

bichon

I've lived in Israel and Yiddish is freely added. When people join the army, they learn a lot of Yiddish

12:39 pm

mab

oh, i see. tx for that.

12:40 pm

mab

should have specified hebrew as it was invented. didn't realize yiddish crept in so widely in the every day speaking - interesting.

12:41 pm

mab

wish i knew more yiddish. actually i know hardly any.

12:42 pm

bichon

I only wish my father had spoken Yiddish at hom. Marrying a German, it would have been useful

12:42 pm

4:53 pm

wht

I know better than to ask this, but why does Enable not accept the well?

4:55 pm

lynxxx

because it is art etc?

4:55 pm

hokie carla

I asked earlier as well

4:55 pm

lynxxx

hmmm - thought the R was missing but no

4:56 pm

lynxxx

now I'll wonder!

4:57 pm

wht

I know that the answer is that Enable is Enable and it does what it does and it has only a passing aqaintence with English.

4:58 pm

hokie carla

it is in merriam-webster if that makes you feel better

4:58 pm

hokie carla

thanks for the tire clue, lyn. that is what they are called here too!

5:01 pm

Gillie

Enable isn't exactly a curated dictionary. My impression is that it was produced largely by algorithmically scouring existing data sources when it was created, using somewhat imperfect methods to eliminate "non-words".

5:03 pm

hokie carla

well usually when people ask about an exclusion it is a proper noun, or hyphenated, or an arbitrary superlative/comparative or one who does something word. but artesian is none of these things.

5:04 pm

hokie carla

just found 4 brit spelled words I missed earlier. so hard to see those.

72 Temple Owl

72. the first 250 were fairly easy

5:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I don't know if my missing 47 are just weird words I don't know or if I just can't see any more because the grid is so big.

5:29 pm

penquis

i think i lost words from this morning.....too many are sounding familiar...

5:29 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure if I went to the list I would see a bunch I already entered.

5:29 pm

hokie carla

I just made up one that doesn't have a def, so that's nice.

5:30 pm

penquis

weird how that's fun... ;o)

5:30 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to just pretend is is a scottish word

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

isn't there some sort of link between both? it seems as if words disappear in both, but i have neigher time nor patience to test it

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

wht did you make up?

5:32 pm

hokie carla

wa6/30

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmmm

5:35 pm

hokie carla

very similar to wa6/33, which is an alt sp of the plural dry african ditch

5:35 pm

hokie carla

but 3rd letter is changed

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i've seen your word before

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have one tile that is maddening.

5:37 pm

hokie carla

so you're telling me I didn't make it up

5:38 pm

hokie carla

5:38 pm

hokie carla

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have a new pc and have sworn not to east or drink in its vicinity. rather than keeping me from snacking, it keeps me from playong...

5:40 pm

hokie carla

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i used one of those sample mascasa burshed on mine

5:41 pm

hmm, good idea

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, just found the swordsl

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

except i dislodged a couple of keys

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

there is NO WAY to get them back on those little bumps

5:42 pm

hokie carla

what are those? not sure I've found any, though I've tried catara which is not even a word but in my mind it's a sword

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

the old one was 6 and grungy

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps you are thinking of catena

5:43 pm

hokie carla

maybe

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

64 to go.

5:43 pm

hokie carla

my words per tile in the 2nd row is 6!

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:43 pm

hokie carla

so what are the stats of the swords?

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:45 pm

hokie carla

you said at 5:41 "just found the swords!"

hokie carla

well, spear is actually in the grid ðŸ˜œ

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

which is la5

5:47 pm

time to play, i finished the chocolate bar. it was yummy

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:48 pm

hokie carla

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was Hberts, milk chocolate sea salt caramel

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:54 pm

hurshy

the mansion is made of stone, and you see lots of ca7 inside, and that was the first time i had white chocolate, too, i think!

5:55 pm

hokie carla

wonder what my last C is

5:56 pm

hurshy

well mine was pathetic... it was a baby cow

5:56 pm

hokie carla

I found that one late in my c finding

5:56 pm

hurshy

but maybe yours is the ce6 that is like a brand of mints but with an extra vowel stuck in it

5:56 pm

penquis

i think that was my last C as well... ;o)

5:57 pm

hokie carla

of course, the word that looks like a plural

5:57 pm

hokie carla

thx

5:57 pm

justafreep

a ce6/21s

5:57 pm

hokie carla

enable loves some archaic words

5:58 pm

5:58 pm

justafreep

Yes. That one.

5:58 pm

justafreep

(I was too slow!!!!)

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

gotta go. later and good luck

5:58 pm

penquis

i hate those words that look pl but have no singular in the grid...

6:00 pm

justafreep

or stuff like nene that seemingly have no plurals....

6:00 pm

hurshy

well the plural of deer is deer so maybe it's the same with nene

6:01 pm

justafreep

not per the dictionary I've looked in (cuz I probably checked a few dozen times), but I'm sure some of the others are exactly like that.

6:02 pm

hurshy

the dictionary indicates it would be nenes?

6:02 pm

justafreep

yup

6:02 pm

hurshy

interesting

6:02 pm

justafreep

and I realize that repeatedly checking makes me a silly goose

6:02 pm

Gillie

"With protection under the Endangered Species Act, along with captive breeding and rigorous habitat restoration, the number of nene rose to more than 3,000 in 2019."

6:03 pm

justafreep

Go nene!

6:03 pm

Gillie

Which dictionary did you check, justafreep?

6:03 pm

hokie carla

when I was watching Secrets of the Zoo: NC Zoo, they were not pluralizing something that I thought would be. I think it was giraffe.

6:04 pm

justafreep

Huh. I fully accept there's a ton of words I just don't know well enough to know for sure. But I woulda gone with giraffes.

6:05 pm

hokie carla

I know, that's why I thought it was odd. but the vet said it and then one of the zookeepers said it.

6:12 pm

penquis

is the LA 8/50 an ordinary word?

6:12 pm

hurshy

no

6:12 pm

hurshy

it starts like the normal pair preceding it but then it ends in ***dly winks

6:13 pm

penquis

ty....was all around that....

6:14 pm

hokie carla

what if we don't know what the pair preceding it is?

6:15 pm
