Shooting at government house - one soldier killed

1:02 am

In Ottawa

31 left now

1:03 am

And a baby killed in Jerusalem when a suicide driver drove into a Tram stop

1:04 am

oh, liz, how devastating!!

1:04 am

Lots of evil people around.

1:06 am

terrorist (recent convert to islam) shot a ceremonial guard at the national war memorial then ran into the house of parliament shooting as he crashed through security before being killed by the head of security. A close call - the sitting party and the opposition were both holding caucus meetings in rooms just of the hall the shooter ran into.

1:06 am

I heard that he'd wanted to go to fight but he'd been refused a passport by the Canadian govt.

1:07 am

The killed assailant had at least one accomplice who has not yet been found. Parliament hill and surrounding hotels, a mall, schools and the university of Ottawa were all in lock down for several hours.

1:07 am

Scary times.

1:08 am

off to bed now -- see you tomorrow

1:08 am

nan, it's to nasty to contemplate. but of course we have to accept that these radicals are going to spoil it for the majority.

Typing awful but you know what I mean :)

2:01 am

thanx chrissie. {{hugs}} to you grandchild, you and great aunty diane.

Se 4/7ie should so be in the dictionary. I think it is in the 'normal' dictionary, but not in this version of enable.

2:52 am

well i tried it too...lol. how are you matty?

I'm alright - I should be on my way to work at the moment, but thanks to signal failures, there are no trains!

2:53 am

se4ie entered into OED in 2013. Enable still on the 1974 version!!

2:53 am

oh, nice. does that mean you get to walk to work?? ...*giggle *

Ha! It would be a very long walk. I shall wait and see if the trains get better and work from home until then. With a bit of Babble in between :)

2:54 am

best of both worlds then, matty.

I cannot see how one can get a six letter word (or even a five) from CA (still working on it - pretty much just started so not begging yet!)

2:58 am

toss it.

Thanks Dach!

3:04 am

g'day dachef

Too many CH words!

3:28 am

oh, dear, matty....may i help you?

Thank you Rose! How about the ch7/48 and a steer on the very first ch - ch6/33?

3:30 am

first, ch6. ch + vowel + re***ca of sunnybrook farm

I don't know sunnybrook farm

But I got it anyway

:)

Thank you

3:31 am

lolol, yay you matty

3:32 am

ch7, tribal leader + more of ending

Thank you again!!

3:33 am

* hands matty a copy of a marvellous book* read, dear. * giggle *

Two CH words left - may come back to them - I'm embarassed I can't see them

Ooh, Rose, tell me more (I take it this is the Sunnybrook Farm book?)

3:34 am

probably ch6/7 combo. start with ch4, dressed smartly + **ss not more.

Got that one - I'm down to one left on the CHs - ch5/14 - after your leader with knobs on and before the slang for youngster

3:35 am

sunnybrook farm is a classical novel by american author, kate wiggin.

Anndd... now I have that one

Good old monkeying

I shall look it up (the novel) - I just got me a Kindle as well

3:40 am

ch5, ch + p**, a filled pastry + *ower, not higher

I have all the CHs now - onwards!

3:43 am

yay matty...you rock hun

Not so much ;) But thank you!

3:52 am

good morning all

Hi Sprite!

3:52 am

good morning everybody.

3:52 am

good morning everybody.

Hi ruby

3:53 am

I guess enable doesn't read the OED because se**ie was entered into it last year as one of the new words

3:53 am

hi matty :)

3:53 am

hi matty and sprite and rosie

3:54 am

hi ruby, this version of enable does not even accept the word 'internet'. So that shows how outdated it is.

Back in 2006 I wrote a review of this site; it's not changed a whit since then.

3:54 am

ridiculous

3:54 am

whoot...{{hugs}} sprite...how was yesterday for you, and how was your night?

3:54 am

whoot...{{hugs}} sprite...how was yesterday for you, and how was your night?

Even many of the people are the same!

3:54 am

me

3:55 am

{{hugs}} ruby...lovely to see you also dear.

3:55 am

*hugs rose* sat up part of the night, on the toilet, bucket in my lap. Yay for the anti flu shot. And you?

3:55 am

wow, nice, matty!

3:56 am

lol and se4ie was the first word I spotted as well.

3:56 am

poor sprite, not a good diet method (lol, ruefully)

I'm supposed to get a flu shot at work at 2.00 today, but I have no trains thanks to signalling problems. We'll see what happens!

3:56 am

too true, ruby, grin

3:57 am

I've never had a flu shot or the flu but then again,I don't get out much....

3:57 am

ugh, frustrating, matty

3:57 am

ugh, sprite. poor you!! i had a lovely day...out for lunch with a friend...lol...we solve the problems of the world over lunch...i wish the world leaders would listen to us.

3:57 am

aw delightful, rose! Just what you needed.

3:58 am

sent you an email sprite.

3:58 am

have seen it, sweetie. And checked the profile.

4:00 am

okay...will wait for your advice, hun

4:01 am

the chimney guy was here yesterday for the annual cleaning and when we made a fire this AM (very much needed!!!), the house filled up with smoke. He closed something unreachable!

4:02 am

yuck, ruby. naughty person...can you get him bach ASAP?

4:03 am

he'll be here late this afternoon, but it's very annoying as it was working perfectly before

4:04 am

i hear you ruby. you try to do the right thing...and it back-fires on you...all part of human mistakes. i hope you both are okay after that episode.

4:04 am

omg ruby :(

4:06 am

and, of course, Burt fell again this AM. Just in the pantry and he was able to get himself up but I am a nervous wreck.

4:06 am

You have to clean the chimney or the insurance won't pay if the house burns down

4:07 am

*gently holds ruby* there, there dear. i am with you.

Sorry to be a pain - any ideas on the last three FL words (5/16, 6/39 and 8/75)?

4:09 am

last 3? hahah, I still need 11!

4:10 am

and ca't find the y or anything bigger than a 7.

4:10 am

However, this is still better than real li**!

Sorry - I have 57 words to find - but I'm working on the FLs :)

Got the 5/16 (an easy one - duh)

4:11 am

back at you, rose

4:11 am

oh, I only need 88 lol

4:11 am

babble blindness, matty! We all know it.

Yeah - felt very silly - was heading in the wrong direction (down rather than up). Still struggling in the fl6/39 and the 8/75 though

4:12 am

I just tried pegasus, lol.

4:13 am

you could fly away

4:14 am

matty, fl6/36. fl* airborne insect + plural letter + **eese, food made from milk. then plural for fl8/75

Thank you Rose - I don't think I'd have every monkied those. Too many consonants!

4:15 am

and going for dinner...xoxox to you all. will bbs.

4:16 am

crazy word! ty ro**

4:16 am

in case you wondered, it means: an association of certain types of marine sedimentary rocks characteristic of deposition in a foredeep. So now we know.

4:17 am

and now, use it in a sentence!

4:17 am

thanks, rose, and enjoy your dinner. I answered your mail.

4:18 am

This morning, walking over the foredeep, I stumbled over all the fl8.

4:19 am

hahah

4:19 am

I especially like foredeep, sounds like a bad translation of something else

4:20 am

too true

4:20 am

made up by the same guy who writes TV subtitles

4:20 am

how a dictionary can lead you on a merry chase: foredeep = an elongate sediment-filled sea-floor depression bordering an island arc or other orogenic belt. So now I have to look up orogenic.

4:22 am

have to go for now, but will spend the afternoon in my American Heritage dictionary NOT!

4:22 am

orogenic: the process of mountain making or upheaval. So there. Some stony shit in the midst of an upheaval.

4:22 am

{{sprite}}

4:22 am

bye ruby, all the best *hug*

4:22 am

sounds like me in my increasingly shabby house!

4:23 am

lol

4:23 am

*woof*

4:31 am

{{hugs}} ruby...and i am back...

4:32 am

wb ro4 :)

4:32 am

did you see my answer email?

4:36 am

yes thanx hun.and answered, dearest.

4:38 am

only one of them is corrected, ro4. The other occurances of the word are still apostrophed.

4:39 am

ugh twice!! i am Not emotional...lol

4:40 am

*hugs ro4*

4:42 am

ah well...if it's not correct...i don't think i care very much. have done my best...

4:42 am

i hope the sentiment is clear, sprite.

4:43 am

yes it is. Wait... I'l edit it. Hold on.

4:46 am

there :)

4:50 am

thanx dear. i did pick another apostrophe which was inappropriate and deleted it. it should be literally correct now. * sigh *

4:51 am

*hugs rose*

Four words left - can anyone give me a steer on the re7/32?

4:51 am

you would never know i was the grand-daughter of an english teacher.

4:52 am

matty: play again on the stage

4:52 am

* gurgle* what sprite said, matty.

Thanks sprite!

4:52 am

I don't think you used my edited version, rose. Still the same it's-en.

3 left

4:52 am

go go goooo matty!

Aaah - my first cat's name is a word in the grid

4:53 am

hey kitty cat, lol

es 6/36 and cl5/18. The singletons (with no other words with those first two letters) I always find hard as you can't work out the third letter from the surrounding words

4:54 am

and done sprite.

4:55 am

es6 is an oldfashioned word for avoid, stay away from

4:55 am

cl5/18 is C + elevator

Got it Sprite - I tried a load of what I thought were similar words but were not words at all...

4:55 am

cl5, sounds like the past tense of rocky outcrop. c + elevate

That's it - I'm done! I guess I'd better wash up and go to the office as trains are running again! #

Thanks for all your help folk!

4:56 am

WTG MATTYGROVES!!!

4:56 am

wtg matty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:56 am

rose, final one: to suit its own needs.

4:57 am

fireflies

Congrats sprite!

4:58 am

WTG SPRITE!!! ...and done, hun

4:58 am

thank you! Guess I better go lie down for a bit, still somewhat nauseated and chilly.

4:59 am

{{hugs}} and kisses for you, dearest sprite. i hope your day is kind to you. what's on today?

4:59 am

awesome, rose, looks good now. It is a sad person that behaves like this cyber booh lee.

5:00 am

nothing is on today. I should have gone to the family constellation day, but alas, it was cancelled.

5:02 am

exactly, sprite. if it only knew how many babblers it has alienated...lol

5:03 am

it does know and it relishes in the knowledge, honey. Sorry little person. Like trolls, better not feed it or pay it any attention.

5:03 am

but such an se4-opinionated person never looks beyond its own needs.

5:03 am

anyway, I am off for today. Sleep well, dear one. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night. Yes, even the cyber booh lee.

5:03 am

okay...rant over. please enjoy your day as best you can, dear.

5:04 am

good morning everyone;)

5:04 am

5:51 am

It is why I mainly babble in the early morning. I love the mind-set of people from U.K, Australia etc

5:52 am

More down-to-home, earthy. good rock-solid common sense:)

5:52 am

i never went away lbdawger, just lurked a bit!

5:56 am

0:656 here

5:57 am

5:57 am

Hi kids. Crossy, how is life in Canada now? I was thinking of you yesterday.

5:57 am

you aussies and your time travel abilities.. soon you will be telling us about tomorrow;)

5:57 am

g'day scrabbs

5:58 am

hi scrabbler

5:58 am

oh, my. lolol crossy

5:58 am

It is fine, scrabby. In tail end of fall colours now and have had two hard frosts...

5:58 am

am also in last 4 weeks or so of classes-- then I start looking at a college course or 2 I am thinking

5:59 am

No frost here yet, but any day. I was worried with the Ottawa events yesterday.

5:59 am

That is terrible. I read a few things on that last night:(

6:00 am

for goodness sake, crossy. where is this all going to lead you, mate?

6:00 am

Still mostly on lock-down

6:00 am

Sad and scary.

6:01 am

i have gone brain-dead...looking at a disability support pension in the face.

6:01 am

I think it will lead me into professional copy editing:)

6:02 am

working in an on-line capacity

6:02 am

there may be 3 parties involved in the shooting

6:02 am

oh ah!! crossy !! nice !!

6:03 am

I am actually looking at Algonquin College in ottawa

6:04 am

CNN is covering the story now. The video of the shooting in Parliament is frightening.

6:04 am

I cal it my mid-life crisis career;)

6:04 am

scary times. Even though we are seen as peace keepers and a safe haven for many, we are not immune

6:05 am

terror can find its way into any sanctuary

6:06 am

We are part of forces that stand with those who wish to put an end to terror and are targeted as well

6:06 am

A mid-life transformation is exciting and I think MANY people desire to do that.

6:06 am

It is very interesting to say the least scrabby. this mid-life change;)

6:07 am

crossy...as the majority of us have noted....terror is not acceptable.

6:08 am

indeed

6:09 am

and now...i must retire. xoxox to you all.

6:09 am

sweet sleeps, (((ROSE)))

6:10 am

Bye, Rose. Sleep well.

6:15 am

tc ((rose))

6:19 am

hello again. 92 this AM but no 9 or y!

6:19 am

The newspaper today had only what was on TV last night. Has anyone claimed responsibility for the attacks?

6:20 am

{{crossy}} {{scrabbs}} and {{ibd}}

6:20 am

((ruby))

6:20 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

6:20 am

The striped mittenfish, a deepwater species recently discovered in the Java Sea, can change its sex at will by turning its entire body inside out.

6:21 am

goody!

6:21 am

Ruby, ho9...equine + lima

6:21 am

tadone!! finito!!

6:22 am

haha, and thanks, Molly, what a funny word

6:22 am

The y is an "ooo gross" word

6:24 am

that fish probably lives in a fl6

6:27 am

phew, it took me forever to find the y

6:27 am

Good morning

6:28 am

howdy, sukee

6:28 am

time for the paper and some rest

6:28 am

hi Sukee

6:29 am

Lol, I got the Y right away :)

6:29 am

yaa for sukee:))

6:29 am

hahah, sukee

6:30 am

Cat had ultrasound, did great. Will get results today.

6:31 am

Is cat a cat or a Catherine?

6:31 am

Cat is a pussy cat.

6:31 am

named?

6:31 am

Boo

6:32 am

Quite a day in Ottawa yesterday.

6:32 am

got the Y...good morning, babblers

6:32 am

My friend (Fr) has a black cat named Ghost. Go figure!

6:32 am

{{annie}} and bye everybody

6:32 am

See you

6:32 am

it was indeed, sukee:(

6:32 am

hi and bye ((ruby))

6:33 am

howdy annie:)

6:33 am

Were there 2 shooters in Canada yesterday? Sad day.

6:33 am

hi crossy

6:33 am

So far only one, they haven't found anyone else

6:34 am

CNN said he was a recent convert to Islam. So why, I ask, kill people?

6:34 am

there were suspicions of a second person involved, but no new news on that front so far

6:35 am

I think that was his point. It seems to be happening with a lot of young men in the West.

6:36 am

Sadly, Annie, some people twist religion to mean things it doesn't mean at all.

6:37 am

Yes, They are reporting that on the TV and in newspapers. Yes, Molly, that is the point in their minds. I fear that might find it a bit romantic. Sad world.

6:37 am

... if he was anything like the guy from the weekend he was simply an Ecole Polytechnique copycat using Islam as a justification for his own inability to fit in to society

6:37 am

Don't want to be one of those blaming video games but it does make your wonder.

6:38 am

dose, I totally agree with you.

6:38 am

Read also of those three girls who tried to head over to turkey and cross the border to join ISIS...scary stuff

6:38 am

Yes dose

6:39 am

So brave, shoot down an unarmed man.

6:39 am

There is a lot of evidence that suggests violent video games desensitizes people to real life violence.

6:39 am

good morning all. I am up for an early ex class. ty for ho9.

6:39 am

help with the 8 pls

6:40 am

Got the 9 from the clue, I have never heard of that before.

6:40 am

.. well ... we're not innocent there ... the American drone attacks have killed 2500 people ... most of them women and children as bystanders ... ... that can justify a lot in the eyes of a guy who has no job and no future

6:40 am

TY

6:41 am

Well, the opposition will have a lot of "I told you so" attitudes.

6:41 am

fl8...what birds do (through the air) + the first three of building where kids learn + two letter plural

6:42 am

Sorry for the clunky clue, but that word is weird

6:42 am

tyty Molly, I never would have found that one.

6:42 am

it is a weird word

6:42 am

Ty Molly

6:42 am

geology word, some type of rock

6:42 am

thanks, Molly

6:43 am

another one I have never heard.

6:45 am

new one for me as well

6:55 am

Time for breakfast, running late today.

6:55 am

bye sukee, enjoy

7:05 am

Where is the ho9 clued?

ho9 - compound word. big pony (5) + vegetable (4)

7:09 am

Thanks! Strange word but blacked the 9

yeah strange. may be the vegetable the pony eats is called this :)

fyce

sorry

7:27 am

It's really very sad. America is not the only country involved in the fight against islamic terrorism, and yet it is always the first country people point the finger at.

i think, if canadians live in a democracy, they should bring their political concerns to the attention of their representatives.

what do you mean "if"? is there any question about canada being a democracy?

oh that was 20 minutes ago

i have stated an opinion as others have stated theirs. i do not intend to be drawn into a confrontation. that is all.

as it seems that some folks are loaded for bear today.

i did not mean to make any confrontation i was just curious if there was some question

i always assumed canada was a democracy but i don't actually know much about it

so i was just loking for more info, clarification on what you were saying

7:55 am

I was surpised by that JJ but on re reading it I can see what TO means. If they live in a democracy(as they do) they should use their power

11:38 am

Halloween candy and Picpoul sounds like a food pairing from hell though

11:39 am

just reading the chat - people drink wine because it is trendy? --- what happened to tastes good?

11:39 am

lol

11:39 am

picpoul is the new Gruner

11:40 am

"selfie" not allowed..........surely in some dictionaries by now?

11:40 am

I like Gruner. Haven't heard of Pigpoo until just now.

11:41 am

you'd like it judi

11:41 am

try Domaine Gassac or Domaine Gaujal both nice

11:41 am

Where's it from?

11:41 am

france

11:41 am

the south of france

11:42 am

don

11:42 am

really inexpensive too usually well under $20

11:42 am

don?

11:42 am

help! is this now going to replace chardonnay as the only wine restaurants put on their menu? Although I gather it is red

11:42 am

Ah. Merci. Will look for it at the wine store.

11:42 am

it is white nan

11:42 am

don't particularly like gruner, but guess I must try picpoul if it has become "the trendy wine to be seen drinking" as image is certainly everything

11:42 am

I don't drink reds.

11:43 am

by a current vintage.. not an old one Judi.. it doesn't age well

11:43 am

how dry is it

11:43 am

doren is so au current

11:43 am

very dry

11:43 am

Most whites don't. I like Sauvignon Blanc and unoaked Chard.

11:43 am

going in to the city to meet rachel and see A Delicate Balance. So VERY current

11:43 am

just assumed coming rom the south of france it would be red -- not much white produced there

11:43 am

ah -- another battery acid wine

11:44 am

there is a ton of white produced down there

11:44 am

prefer the wines from Alsace and Vouvray

11:44 am

generally narrow, but the two I recommended are nice and rich

11:44 am

ru knows wine how is dylan?

11:44 am

I love the Gassac.. screw cap too

11:45 am

what is name of that one ruru?

11:45 am

I guess it was just the areas we were in that were al all red, although I did find a nice white that I liked in the Chateau Neuf area

11:45 am

domaine de mas Gassac Picpoul de Pinet. blue label

11:45 am

Screw caps are becoming the norm on wine. They still make me cringe a bit, but as long as the wine tastes good, screw the cap. (ha ha - pun intended).

11:45 am

2011, 12 and 13 all really nice

11:46 am

will have to see if my local guy has it. thanks.

11:46 am

the only problem with screw caps is that when you go to a restaurant judi.. you have to pay a screwage

11:46 am

Only the French would put such a pretentiously long name on a wine.

11:46 am

Rachel just found out she has been approved to buy apt in brooklyn... will have to stock her wine "cellar"

6:25 pm

lol

6:26 pm

why are you distracted, kje? is it something you can share or not?

6:28 pm

my dad died, granny - 2 weeks ago. Mourning is a weird thing. Your brain isn't really always there. Was the same way with my mom 3 years ago

6:28 pm

had to give multiple lectures this week at the school... prob were not my finest

6:28 pm

oh.. that's what happened. I'm sorry KJE.. I knew it wasn't good news

6:29 pm

I was afraid to ask why you were in Texas the other day

6:29 pm

very unexpected, ru. Wasn't ill. Just went to bed and didn't wake up.

6:29 pm

oh no, kje. i am so sorry to hear that. and yes, grief does strange things. the hardest are the unseen triggers which keep popping up. my heartfelt sympathies, dear.

So sorry for your losses kje

6:29 pm

but that is how he would have wanted it. no decline.

6:30 pm

thank you. I'm ok. but mourning sucks, no way around it

Very hard on those left behind in shock though

6:31 pm

that's how i'm going to go.. i'll be babbling on here with you guys and then just drop dead

6:31 pm

well, that is a lovely thought ru... will freak us all out every time you fail to answer now!

6:32 pm

LOL

6:32 pm

oh kje, no wonder you poor dear. I am sending you a hug {{{HUG}}} Losing a parent is so hard. I am sorry I was teasing you earlier.

6:32 pm

let it rip, kje. it's the only way. scream at the sky, get angry and cry. all those thingsare exactly what you should be doing and feeling.

6:32 pm

no need to apologize... I enjoyed it

6:33 pm

if you see this: bnipqwebrtao[eibhio[pptha ete... you'll know something is wrong

lol

6:33 pm

oh?? ruru?? didn't you type that in the other night??

6:34 pm

I think I will just do some long silences to scare the crap out of everyone

6:34 pm

Here lies a good man... Ru. He babbled til he dropped.

6:35 pm

All kidding aside now.. that would be the very best way to let go.. just passing in your sleep

6:35 pm

yes, I know that. It is what he wanted, had said so... oh to be so lucky

6:35 pm

My headstone will read: here Lies rururocks.. an atheist to his end.. so here he is ... all dressed up and no where to go

Just make,sure you finish the grid first. Don't want to spoil your ranking :)

6:35 pm
