1:34 am

sprite

1:36 am

Thank you so much, sprite!

1:36 am

1:36 am

1:37 am

it's a fish!

1:38 am

grannyrose

cooee and * hugs * sprite

2:21 am

sprite

hello my dear friend! *hugs*

2:23 am

grannyrose

i had another good night's rest. how about you?

2:23 am

sprite

not too bad. Bit short. But no nightmares so that is always a win. How was your day?

2:24 am

grannyrose

busy day. today is main wash day. bed and bathroom stuff. cleaned both bathrooms too.

2:24 am

sprite

wow, well done you

2:27 am

grannyrose

thanks honey. tomorrow pool day. the start to my 4 days of busy, busy, with Saturday in the middle when i cower in a corner almost not wanting to go anywhere.

2:27 am

sprite

knowing that beforehand seems to me like a good reason to pace yourself a little more

2:29 am

grannyrose

i try to do so, but.....am thinking tomorrow morning of just sitting around.

2:30 am

sprite

my pt taught me that overdoing things is actually setting you back.

2:33 am

grannyrose

Friday is not easy. no matter what i do or don't do i am always exhausted by late afternoon. i think because there is a lot of emotional stuff happening too, which doesn't help. trying to keep the group on a level is hard work particularly with some of the men.

2:34 am

sprite

yes that is taxing. And if you cannot avoid doing it, just make sure you have a day off after. Time to relax and recover.

2:36 am

grannyrose

i try to goal set each day. fortunately Don understands. he does pull me up, very gently. my only goal for Saturday is to fold and sort the clean laundry, and i do that sitting down.

2:37 am

sprite

good. It doesn't pay to overdo things. Just gently find that limit and honor it. People think they have to push their limits to get better but that is not the case.

2:45 am

grannyrose

how are you doing with this grid? i found it excrutiatingly slow.

2:45 am

sprite

about 40 left. Not too bad, but challenging.

2:57 am

sprite

almost all letters have a few tough words. But finally spotting the GTH corner helped.

3:01 am

grannyrose

i actually monkeyed a few. like the br 5/22. i don't think i have ever seen it before.

3:01 am

sprite

just found that one. It is close to a dutch word.

3:02 am

grannyrose

it's scottish. for town or borough

3:03 am

sprite

yeah, meaning differs from dutch, which would be bridge.

3:04 am

sprite

9 As left. Getting there

3:05 am

grannyrose

* puts arm around sprite's waist * lean on me darling. i'll help you over the finish li4.

3:05 am

11:48 am

moolingwa

11:49 am

hokie carla

I haven't done a deep dive yet but was trying some of the smaller tiles and can't even find the T

11:49 am

Dorens

;)

11:49 am

moolingwa

11:49 am

Dorens

I don't have the T either!

11:49 am

moolingwa

oh, I already have the t...

11:49 am

moolingwa

I got a little ahead of myself on that one

11:50 am

Dorens

I'm missing one on the G, the T, and two on the P. I know I'll get there eventually

11:57 am

hokie carla

I looked at the list yesterday with 35 left and then still had 21 so gave up.

11:57 am

moolingwa

I managed to finish with a couple of assists at the end

11:58 am

hokie carla

must be a clue because you don't use assists

11:58 am

hokie carla

oh, yesterday

11:58 am

hokie carla

I thought you meant the D just now

11:58 am

moolingwa

yes

11:58 am

saanichcat

same here. that was more like word management than words to find; I listed to find the missing holes

11:58 am

moolingwa

all the assists I got were either just the first letter, or first two, except for the last word

11:59 am

moolingwa

last word was wedel

12:00 pm

hokie carla

but how's the D going today? I have 2 D6.

12:00 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I have 2 D's as well

12:01 pm

12:01 pm

penquis

i also have a D 5....hello all....

12:01 pm

hokie carla

saanichcat

one of the de 7 is de plus artificial waterway

12:03 pm

moolingwa

that u in the middle tile is a bit of a dampener

12:04 pm

moolingwa

12:04 pm

saanichcat

a de 5 is like a sticker

12:04 pm

hokie carla

12:04 pm

hokie carla

12:31 pm

hokie carla

12:32 pm

BzznBea

It hasn't arrived here yet. Tonight and tomorrow, I think. Six to eight inches of rain.

12:32 pm

12:33 pm

can someone please remind me how add the words to the list??

12:33 pm

hokie carla

are you using the link at the bottom or babble expert?

12:33 pm

BzznBea

We are. I'm more concerned about some of our trees.

12:34 pm

moolingwa

yeah, we had a tree come down earlier this year, fortunately it missed everything, which was quite remarkable

12:34 pm

Flask1

link at the bottom?

12:35 pm

hokie carla

below the tile stats it says "Friends of Babble" and under that click on "Lickety's Babble Clues"

12:35 pm

hokie carla

I think the remaining half of our big redbud is leaning worse. probably coming down soon.

12:36 pm

Flask1

ok....next?

12:36 pm

hokie carla

at the top of that page look for New Feature Bulk Add/Grab, click that

12:37 pm

hokie carla

that takes you to the bulk add box. you highlight all the words on this page in "My Word List", then copy, then paste in the Bulk Add Box on the other site and hit enter.

12:38 pm

BzznBea

We had a lot of old maples when we moved here. They are all gone now except one. There are also a lot of pecan trees that need cleaned up.

12:38 pm

hokie carla

or... were you talking about just adding words here? If so, just type them into the Add Word box directly under the yellow grid.

12:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

sura

12:49 pm

hurshy

it's a plural

12:49 pm

hurshy

kings and queens in europe tended to be in6/7

12:49 pm

hurshy

hence the hemophilia problem

12:50 pm

periwinkle

ty hursh

12:50 pm

penquis

ty, hursh...

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

doubtful noun, in6/7

12:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

suspect would be a more fitting word

12:53 pm

hokie carla

well, it would be derogatory. like "oh, those in7? yeah, they're rednecks"

12:56 pm

moolingwa

or european royalty :)

12:56 pm

MollyL

Ack! It's a slur!

12:56 pm

hokie carla

the classes couldn't be any farther apart

12:59 pm

hokie carla

well, I think I have managed HOET. 91 left. off to Costco and Golf Galaxy. TTFN.

12:59 pm

saanichcat

later carla

12:59 pm

moolingwa

have fun, and get a hole in one at Costco!

12:59 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I hope kap comes and calls out that slur

1:00 pm

BzznBea

He was here yesterday

1:01 pm

welki

golf galaxy?

1:01 pm

hokie carla

I think kap is a she but that's neither here nor there. okay, really getting up now.

1:03 pm

hokie carla

now mr. homie wants to watch the 200 semis, so still here

1:03 pm

hokie carla

golf galaxy is an all golf store, welki

1:03 pm

hokie carla

I assume it's all over the US but prob not in the remote areas you camp

1:04 pm

penquis

I need a break...bye all...

1:05 pm

hokie carla

bye pen

1:05 pm

MollyL

in6 is not only a slur. It is also an adjective. Words that have other meanings should not be called out as slurs.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

but in7 is the slur

1:08 pm

hokie carla

okay welki, some quick research. golf galaxy is owned by dick's sporting goods and there are 107 stores in 35 states. there are some out west but majority is east or midwest

1:09 pm

MollyL

in7 is only a slur if referring to people. It can also refer to plants and animals.

1:10 pm

hokie carla

well, PETA would argue you're hurting the animals feelingsðŸ¤£

1:13 pm

welki

what are you shopping for, hokie?

1:14 pm

hokie carla

well, I got some new grips for my clubs a few weeks ago and then discovered I really need to replace them all. and we lost a buttload of balls last night.

1:15 pm

hokie carla

several of these were hit onto the fairway and then bounced to the side never to be seen again. there was a lot of that clumpy grass, so it was like easter egg hunting.

1:15 pm

welki

ahhh, a fit and replenish trip :)

i like the oversized grips, helps with my stupidly arthritic hands

1:16 pm

welki

i picked up a set of clubs on the weekend at a garage sale - will leave them in arizona, so we don't have to shlep them back and forth every year

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I might look at some wedges. my very old set of hybrid clubs that I play with only has a pitching wedge.

1:16 pm

hokie carla

nice!

1:16 pm

welki

what i learned this past weekend is that you can have a great set of custom irons and they work as well as the garage sale clubs :D

1:17 pm

hurshy

hey, if a slur describes kings and queens, it can't be all that awful to be called it

1:17 pm

hokie carla

ha, of course, welki

1:18 pm

welki

that said, while you may not need the same clubs as rory, test them out in the store and buy the ones that feel the best

1:18 pm

hokie carla

costco had a nice set when I was there earlier this summer and the reviews made it sound like they were good for short women, but of course I didn't get them.

1:19 pm

welki

i had all my clubs fit to my short self - then used these stock ones on the weekend - can't say i saw much of a difference

1:19 pm

welki

then again, i'm a pretty crappy golfer

1:20 pm

hokie carla

I'm not good

1:21 pm

hokie carla

and I'm using a putter I didn't pick out, maybe that's why I'm so bad at putting

1:21 pm

welki

looking at costco - the nancy lopez ones?

1:21 pm

MollyL

Does that make you a putz?

1:21 pm

hokie carla

it was callaway, I don't rem. seeing a name on them.

1:22 pm

hokie carla

maybe your costco has different ones

1:23 pm

hokie carla

okay, peace out

1:24 pm

welki

i have an older set of callaway solaires, they're pretty nice. i mixed some of them with a set of cobra irons - and i love my odyssey putter

1:24 pm

welki

later, hokie - have fun shopping

1:24 pm

welki

(oh and a cobra driver - it's magic!)

2:22 pm

4:56 pm

hurshy

4:57 pm

welki

i was here before, said hi, returned, so re-hi :)

4:57 pm

hurshy

just one of our funny little babble quirks

4:57 pm

welki

i came, i saw, i re-hi'ed

4:57 pm

hokie carla

well, not really, welki. skipped costco because it was crazy over there. had to get 3 different colors of grips because they didn't have enough.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's. It's a process. It's funny how my work and my life are the same.

4:58 pm

hokie carla

did get some balls and a glove. no clubs.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

BzznBea

Carla, three different colors would fmup...nope...

4:59 pm

welki

take your time picking out your clubs

4:59 pm

welki

bea, it won't make much of a difference - they're usually upside down in the bag and you only pick one out at a time

5:00 pm

welki

(for me, it'd be a good thing - oh no, my 5 iron has a blue grip, this one's black - wrong club!)

5:00 pm

BzznBea

For OCD me, yes it would.

5:00 pm

welki

oh yes, i understand. i'm that way about symmetry

5:00 pm

hurshy

that feeling when you hear the sound of your cat messing with something and you panic and then you realize it's ONE OF HIS ACTUAL TOYS!

5:01 pm

welki

hurshy - was it one filled with that crunchy plastic stuff? that always sent me running to see what they had

5:01 pm

hurshy

yep, a giant crinkly carrot

5:02 pm

hurshy

fritz loves playing with it, rilla just likes to sit NEXT TO it

5:02 pm

5:03 pm

BzznBea

Tropical storm

5:04 pm

hokie carla

been flooding coastal ga and sc for days, have you been under a rockðŸ˜œ

5:04 pm

hokie carla

(might be hyperbole)

5:05 pm

hokie carla

back to the P, did you finish, bea?

5:06 pm

BzznBea

Tomorrow will be worrisome here. We will probably lose power. No flooding here as we are on a hill far enough away from water sources.

5:06 pm

5:09 pm

hurshy

5:09 pm

BzznBea

Is that the de5? The sticker?

5:09 pm

5:14 pm

hurshy

5:15 pm

BzznBea

Ru would have some remark about one

5:15 pm

penquis

no definition for either one....they are similar...

5:15 pm

hurshy

the pe6 being pe5/12 a girl's name plus another vowel

5:15 pm

hokie carla

5:15 pm

hokie carla

5:15 pm

hurshy

oh ok

5:16 pm

hurshy

6:41 pm

penquis

i will play again next week....trying to work my way up to playing twice a week, never two days in a row...

6:41 pm

6:45 pm

hokie carla
