oregon grape grows wild around here but have never heard it called ma 7
12:48 am
SueMagee
I have one in the garden - it’s very good as a boundary plant. Nothing much gets past it unscratched.
12:48 am
cybernan
true but the deer just jump over it
12:50 am
SueMagee
I imagine that sound more picturesque than the reality.
12:50 am
cybernan
I just knew un 6/21 would be a word -- just because it makes no sense at all
12:53 am
cybernan

hello all
6:35 am
aslindy
how's it going, rbud?
6:36 am
rbud
pretty fair, considering. finally warming up a bit, and I woke up again today, so that's a plus, haha.
6:36 am
rbud
and yourself?
6:37 am
aslindy
doing pretty well. woke up too early again, and trying to avoid a migraine. I think I need all the coffee in the world.
6:39 am
rbud
fingers crossed for you, hope you avoid the headache.
6:40 am
aslindy
thank you. I sing in a chorale, and we have a big rehearsal this afternoon for tomorrow's concert. I really need to not have migraine!
6:42 am
aslindy
this grid is kicking my tail today
6:44 am
rbud
not a particularly fun one, it's true. I didn't get far before "hitting a wall", as they say, and listing. Barely halfway.
6:48 am
aslindy
hitting the list at exactly half done
7:04 am
jylcat
I always try to get halfway before listing but this one is tough!
7:08 am
aslindy
can't believe I monkied the ma7 in 2 tries.
7:11 am

Lots of words you would only see in Babble.
7:28 am
Scrabbler
Ah, well we are used to that.
7:51 am

I passed halfway. See you tomorrow.

And as often as we have that Muslim word, I never remember it.
8:33 am
rururocks
allah us don't remember it
8:34 am
MollyL
Was that a punjab?
8:35 am
rururocks
jihad kidding
8:36 am
Uneaixoise
Bwaaaahaaaa
8:36 am
MollyL
Kidding is all the raj these days.
8:37 am
hurshy
i think i may need some help with ma7, i don't think i know any words that start with either mah or mao
8:37 am
hurshy
ooh except mahogany, but that isn't here
8:37 am
hokie carla
mahalo, hurshy
8:37 am
MollyL
ma + the beginning of what Pooh likes + two vowels
8:38 am
hurshy
sure, that too
8:38 am
rururocks
ma7 is where all the Mah's live
8:38 am
MollyL
It is some kind of grape. Bea and Ru probably knew it.
8:39 am
hokie carla
hmm, have tried every 2 vowels there
8:40 am
MollyL
Guess not. Probably using the wrong fifth letter
8:40 am
hurshy
no, the wrong FOURTH letter
8:40 am
hurshy
we thought you were spelling it pooh's way
8:41 am
Biltong
use upper n
8:41 am
hokie carla
so you're saying not mahunao
8:41 am
hurshy
she's not spelling it pooh's way hokie
8:41 am
hurshy
just the regular way
8:41 am
MollyL
Oh good Lord, Pooh's way?
8:41 am
hurshy
ok so i have that and ca7 now, what is the third 7?
8:42 am
hokie carla
well that was certainly misleading 🤣
8:42 am
MollyL
Another ca
8:42 am
Uneaixoise
Clue for un6 please?
8:42 am
hurshy
hunny :) i have seen it so many times that i sort of thought that itself should count too :)
8:42 am
hurshy
un + hammer and _____
8:42 am
MollyL
Sorry. Next time I will say "the grown up way"
8:42 am
hokie carla
plus someone mentioned hunny in the chat
8:43 am
hurshy
ty for the other ca7, got it
8:43 am
Uneaixoise
Tx......how odd!!
8:43 am
hokie carla
yeah, how would you undo something like that
8:44 am
hurshy
i mean, you can pull them out with the claw part of the hammer, so, i guess...
8:44 am
MollyL
With the back end of the top of a hammer
8:44 am
hokie carla
yes, but then you're just removing it, not undoing it. and there are legit undo words not in enable.
8:46 am
hokie carla
someone help me out with the upper i. I have il4 and that's it.
8:47 am
LuvWordGames
I only have 2 il 4's
8:47 am
BzznBea

8:47 am
hokie carla

8:48 am
LuvWordGames
hi hokie
8:48 am
rururocks
are you in hawaii hokie?
8:48 am
hokie carla
wasn't looking in that direction. now the 5s are easy once I can look the other way.
8:49 am
hokie carla
no, but hurshy wanted an mah word earlier
8:49 am
hokie carla
I wish. never been to hawaii.
8:52 am
BzznBea
CAn't Rv to there.
8:53 am
Aloyisius
hokie.. all the il words are related, 2 nouns and the adj. for each.. hi everyone
8:54 am
hokie carla
that's right, bea. but our friends rented a car and a tent and stuff and camped different places.
8:54 am
hokie carla
hey aloy, howsit?
8:54 am
rururocks
yeah it's a lot easier for us west coasters to get there
8:55 am
hokie carla
yeah, mr. homie has said for years he'd rather just fly direct to somewhere in the caribbean.
8:56 am
LuvWordGames
yes ruru but I was surprised when we planned our trip to Hawaii to learn that it's farther from California to Hawaii than it is from Michigan to California.
8:57 am
LuvWordGames
I thought it was closer to the coast of California
8:57 am
hurshy
3 time zones
8:57 am
hurshy
same as from east coast to west coast
8:58 am
hurshy
alright, 8 left, let's see here...
8:58 am
LuvWordGames
I couldn't do a direct flight because I have circulation problems in my legs so we did a lay over in CA
8:58 am
hokie carla
well, from NC to HI, it's far
8:58 am
rururocks
a six hour flight is my max.. i have to break them up
8:58 am
hurshy
that's what i am saying, 3 time zones is far
8:59 am
hurshy
and so that makes 6 time zones from east coast to hawaii
8:59 am
LuvWordGames
wow didn't realize that hursh
8:59 am
rururocks
does it? not four?
8:59 am
hokie carla
and we can be in caribbean in like 1-2 hrs depending on which island
9:01 am
BzznBea
There are six because you have Hawaiian and Alask
9:01 am
hurshy
it would be six regardless, because of how far it is!
9:02 am
hokie carla
yeah, there are still time zones
9:03 am
poodletoes
It is a little after 4AM in Hawaii right now. they do not use DST
9:04 am
hurshy
sensible. and i mean, it's kind of stupid nearer to the equator anyway, the days are all so much closer to the same length to begin with
9:04 am
hokie carla
so, 6 hours difference now
9:05 am
hokie carla
ok, now I can't find the other i. I'm assuming in-
9:06 am
BzznBea
yes, in 6.21
9:06 am
hurshy
it's a sort of a religious/theological word hokie
9:06 am
hurshy
normally you'd see with E not i
9:07 am
hurshy
help with the ra6 that is NOT the fee paid to get back a kidnapping victim?
9:08 am
LuvWordGames
ends in most of hawaiian dance
9:08 am
hokie carla
I only have the kidnapping one
9:08 am
rururocks
well the c's were easy
9:08 am
hurshy
o nvm pulled a peri
9:08 am
hurshy
yeah it rhymes with ca6
9:08 am
BzznBea
hokie, it is a misspelled shoe part
9:10 am
Aloyisius
last word was tricky.. in6 rhymes with part of a shoe.. poofing off, Happy Babbling!
9:11 am
LuvWordGames
is the ma 7/36 a common word?
9:12 am
BzznBea
It is not. It is a shrub in the barberry family
9:12 am
LuvWordGames
thanks Bea I'll have to look that up
9:13 am
BzznBea
ma + shortened bee product + two vowels
9:14 am
LuvWordGames
