1:53 am

we only had 2 1/2 tables playing but my partner and I won!!!

1:53 am

1:57 am

hubby and his p are generally hard to beat

1:58 am

well done flosey.

2:01 am

2:07 am

2:10 am

lol....sorry flosey. distracted. watching the released peter greste on the news

2:14 am

ah, no problem - quite a story

2:16 am

flosey the whole situation was so wrong. and all australians are so thankful for his release.

2:16 am

yes, I bet

2:17 am

do you think the other 2 will get out?

2:17 am

i believe the canadian is due next to be released.

2:17 am

good news

2:18 am

however the egyptian journalist does not have much hope. he has nowhere to go.

2:20 am

how sad is that

2:22 am

i think his family needs to be moved to a new country, and that country needs to request his extradition. that is the only way for him that i can see.

2:27 am

sorry rose, just fell asleep!! briefly had a long list of x and ns in 'add word'

2:28 am

think I'd better call it a day, 86 to find tomorrow

2:29 am

good night now and have a good day Rose

2:30 am

sweet dreams, dear

3:17 am

bbl, dinner ready. xoxox

4:03 am

good morning all

4:03 am

woot. That is some dinner, rose :D

4:05 am

{{hugs}} sprite. ready and waiting for your arrival. xoxox

4:05 am

*grin* Here I am. Hello dear friend. Yay for you for pacing yourself today.

4:06 am

i am learning sprite.

4:06 am

you and me both, darling, you and me both. It is a tough lesson to learn.

4:07 am

tomorrow don has to be up and out the door by 8:15am....lol....that has to be a shock to his system.

4:07 am

hahahaha poor man. But so nice, a long day by yourself.

4:09 am

until lunch time...i am so looking forward to it.

4:09 am

ikr! It is lovely to have our men with us. But once in a while... some alone time is lovely too.

4:10 am

i hear you sister....i love him to bits....but....

4:11 am

speaking of men, sigh... the boyo was at it again last night. Broke the veggie drawer in the fridge, loud sound, panic attack for me... not answering when I asked what was the noise and not telling us it was broken... and then standing over me yelling.

4:12 am

we had the yummiest dinner. chicken dijon with wild rice. still licking my chops...lol

4:12 am

I think it is healthy for a relationship to both have some alone time.

4:13 am

oh that sounds delish

4:14 am

ugh....naughty boyo. i hope he has settled this morning. were you able to assert that it was just an accident? sort of let him down gently. i know how easy that is to do...several times i have nearly done the same thing.

4:14 am

I think it is the first time ever that the ji6 is in a grid. The Xmas one.

4:14 am

rose, it isn't the broken drawer that pisses me off. I know, it happens, we never get mad about stuff like that.

4:15 am

but his reaction. So aggressive. And not owning up to the responsibility. Rob suggested he'd try and glue it later this week. No way, Tim said.

4:15 am

it's the lack of self-control and no respect for what you personally go through with something like that?

4:16 am

sprite, i would say more defensive, and an unwillingness to admit he was wrong, despite your attitude re broken stuff.

4:16 am

yes. And his adding to my panic by standing over me and yelling at me.

4:18 am

personally, and i know it's not my business, the standing over you yelling is very aggressive, my ex used to do that to make me back down, obey or whatever, i think you need to take steps to make sure he knows that won't be tolerated

4:18 am

yeah, I think you are right, rose. His ego hurts when he breaks something, I guess.

4:18 am

that stance is alarming, especially when he has done something wrong

4:18 am

thanks jacq, yes we are working on that with him. It is certainly not tolerated. It went well for quite a while, but yesterday was a relapse, sigh.

4:19 am

oh and of course it is your business, grin, I am telling it in babble chat. I really appreciate your advice.

4:19 am

sprite, hence his response to Rob's suggestion that the boyo repair the damage. admission of guilt which he is not willing to give.

4:20 am

or should i say admission of responsibility

4:20 am

are there consequences for that kind of behaviour? if there are then they have to be enforced, cause and effect does work

4:20 am

yeah well, as jacq says, he has to learn that is unacceptable. And yes, responsibility, there is no guilt involved in breaking something by accident.

4:21 am

Gooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx

4:21 am

have to go have breeakfast, take care ladies, especially sprite xxx

4:22 am

yes, there will be consequences, jacq. We told him no access to the fridge until he is willing to try and repair it. And for the standing over me, he will be doing extra chores for a while

4:22 am

thanks jacq! Really appreciate your input.

4:22 am

and yours, rose. You are right, there is male ego involved in the boyo's reaction.

4:22 am

hi worzel, long time no see

4:23 am

whoot!! g'day son

4:23 am

Hi Sprite xx

4:23 am

Hi Mum!! xxxx

4:23 am

and g'day to dianne also

4:23 am

are you guys back together?

4:24 am

She shouting "Hiya!!!" lol xx

4:24 am

tell her hiya from me too then!

4:24 am

lolol.....xoxox dianne

4:24 am

We're not permanently back together but we're heading in the right direction ty for asking xx I stay a few nights a week and we're building something strong. I just gotta learn to behave myself and stop being a hole lol xx

4:25 am

Sprite she shouting "hiya" to you too lol xx

4:25 am

just remember what happened last time, son.

4:25 am

I think that is awesome. Well done, both of you. Yes, cherish her, she is precious.

4:25 am

I wonder... does that make me worzel's aunty?

4:25 am

Most precious flower in any garden in the world, and a thousand times more beautiful

4:26 am

hmmmm i think so sprite

4:26 am

Sprite you can be my aunty if you want!

4:26 am

there you go, worzel. That's it exactly :)

4:26 am

I am rose's soul sister, worzel. I guess that makes us family.

4:27 am

Yay! That'll make up for not having a nice real family! (My family, that is!! lol)

4:27 am

wor...how's the job front looking?

4:27 am

same here, my family sucks. Except my sister but we have a helluva time making it work between us.

4:28 am

Dire is probably the best word to use. I've had some training courses lately though and just retaken and passed my forklift test so that's an advantage especially as there are so many warehouses in this area. Thanks for asking Mumxx

4:28 am

sprite doesn't have to work at it with me. wor, we have found we even dream the same...lol

4:28 am

side no4: I officially hate this grid. Brick wall at 83 words. Found, not left!

4:29 am

will pray you find a fun job soon, worzel. With good pay, of course.

4:29 am

oh, dear, sprite. l

4:29 am

yesterday with the boyo has really hurt you. you poor thing. xoxox

4:29 am

no, rose and I are amazingly easily connected. In every way.

4:30 am

Thank you sprite xx

4:30 am

yeah, boyo and the flippin' dentist later today. I am a mess.

4:30 am

sonnet

4:30 am

oh crap sorry

4:30 am

yay, a freebee!

4:30 am

okay, help me here sprite. in how many hours is the dentist?

4:31 am

it is 11.30 am now... appointment at 3.10 pm... 3 hours and 40 mins.

4:32 am

had to count it out on my fingers, lolol. I AM a mess.

4:32 am

okay, praying for you . sweetheart, i am with you every step of the way.

4:32 am

thanks darling. I will need it. Guess for once I will take my calming meds again.

4:32 am

Pain in the butt. We were going shopping today but have to wait in now for a repairman to come and look at our gas boiler as the heating's packed in - and it's currently only 28 fahrenheit here so we're freezing our proverbial bits off lol

4:33 am

sprite, when you are in that chair, focus, honey, focus on Cobi and me.

4:33 am

aw that is nasty. So cold.

4:33 am

I will, rose. I will.

4:33 am

can't you divide and conquer, worzel? One staying home and the other doing the hsopping?

4:33 am

shipping*

4:34 am

darn it! shopping**

4:34 am

No we like to go hand in hand, soppy sods ain't we?

4:34 am

hsopping and shipping?? lmao

4:34 am

rite

4:34 am

my love and I are together now for... let me count... over 20 years and we still walk hand in hand. And kiss and hug all the time.

4:34 am

omg i am going to go and sit in the penalty box for the day!!

4:35 am

don't divide, hop in the sack and warm each other up the best possible way...lol

4:35 am

You can't beat being in love

4:35 am

let's fill it up with chocolate, coffee and good cheese and crackers... and lovely cabana boys... and I'll join you there.

4:35 am

oh rose, and I was refraining of saying I knew a good remedy for a cold house! :D

4:35 am

Oooo Mum that's a much better idea!!! If it wasn't for the dog jumping all over the bed we might! Di says she can see where I get me dirty mind from - me Mum Rose!!

4:36 am

what the bed??? the chocolate would melt..

4:36 am

a dirty mind, as they say, is a joy forever

4:36 am

roflol....on ya di

4:36 am

um no, the penalty box. But if there is a bed there, I'll call dibs.

4:36 am

Hello :)

4:37 am

4:38 am

hey ya kallia. sorry hin....i am being naughty. * blush *

4:38 am

lol rose, we sure could. As we say here in the netherlands, you have to learn to ride a bike on an old bike.

4:38 am

lurking is perfectly ok, Kallia. But seeing you in chat is better, grin

4:39 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

I certainly know that feeling, Kallia. *warm virtual hug*

4:40 am

yeah well, worzel, I guess if one is piss poor, every thing should be counted :D

4:41 am

4:42 am

4:55 am

4:57 am

4:58 am

5:12 am

5:13 am

whoot sprite, i should have known you would find it.

5:13 am

*grin* some remnants of science in school, apparently

5:13 am

nice sprite

5:15 am

have been trying for the th5 you inject medicines into people with. But it just isn't there, is it?

5:15 am

and i am gonna have to email puglet yet again...no answer yet...

5:16 am

tell her all she has to do is tell us how she is doing, in 3 short sentences. In order to enable us to worry focused on her actual situation, lol.

5:19 am

done, sprite

5:20 am

thanks darling. our poor pugs.

5:26 am

darn... singing lesson cancelled for today.

5:28 am

ugh, sprite, one of the highlights of your week.

5:28 am

yeah. This week is shaping up to be a doozy

5:28 am

sweetie, relax, take some deep breaths...

5:29 am

i am there. right beside you...

5:29 am

ok... :) Thanks darling. I am ok, I guess. We SOOO need a scotty to beam us over.

5:30 am

lolol...wouldn't that be lovely?

5:31 am

it would. I'd bring you both to the dentist, lol. And Rob of course... no room for dentist or assistant there.

5:33 am

col....i can just see it...a very confused dentist...standing outside of the room, scratching his/her head,,,now where do i stand?

5:35 am

lol indeed. But it would truly help me. Pffff such nerves.

5:35 am

still 110 words left, can you believe it?

5:39 am

gotta pee, brb

5:40 am

no i can't believe it!! c'mon sprite...this is so not you...

5:43 am

yawning enough to swallow our planet....

5:45 am

it has to be the run in with the boyo. {{hugs}} darling sprite.

5:46 am

yeah it is the combination, I think. I was already tense because of the dentist. And then the run-in with tim. nerves shattered. Brain not working, lol.

5:47 am

my poor darling sprite.

5:48 am

nah I am fine, my friend. I can accept that this is how ptsd works. Things will look up after the dentist visit. And Tim has a sermon coming... tonight :)

5:49 am

yay you, sprite. you gooo girl!!!

5:49 am

hehehe :D

5:51 am

it is how I retrain my thinking, rose. I tell myself: I am not my ptsd. I am more than that. And if I can make that 'more' part accept the ptsd part, life becomes much easier.

5:54 am

nearly 11pm here. i think i had better head for my pillows.

5:55 am

sounds like a plan. *hugs* and sweet dreams, my sister.

5:55 am

xoxox sis! catch you tomorrow.

5:56 am

have a very good night, rose

5:58 am

Hi and hugs - hope you see this too, Rose

5:58 am

hi Liz! You just missed her, I think. Good to see you. How are you both?

5:58 am

We're fine thanks - you and yours?

5:59 am

It's only 10 pm here, so not as late as for Rose - stating the obvious there!

5:59 am

we are fine too. Apart from Tim acting up again and the new dentist appointment this afternoon, we all are doing very well.

5:59 am

I was thinking of you today - realised I'd never done your jigidi Dragon Eggs, so have just started it.

6:00 am

how many time zones do you have there, anyway?

6:00 am

Well the dentist will soon be over and Tim will grow out of it!!!!

6:00 am

oh good! I love that one especially.

6:00 am

3 time zones I think! But QLD doesn't change it's clocks, so at this time of year, we're out of sync with NSW and Victoria.

6:01 am

It's a lovely puzzle - haven't done much yet but I'm enjoying it.

6:01 am

so confusing, all those time zones. But better than local time everywhere, lol.

6:02 am

I don't mind them. If I want to know the time somewhere, I can always google it.

6:02 am

it is one of my favorites, tbh. I love the colours and the atmosphere of that one. You guys can probably relate... it is a bit like making a photo book of pictures :D

6:02 am

Yes, I can relate to that.

6:03 am

I also liked the space - y one. Similar colours I guess.

6:03 am

I very much enjoyed the screenshot you se4 me. Lovely view of Amsterdam...and of us!

6:03 am

Actually, I love your composite puzzles.

6:04 am

Glad you liked that! I had great fun putting together the Amsterdam section. I'm finding Singapore more challenging but took a break today. Will go back with fresh eyes tomorrow.

6:04 am

thanks :) I love compiling them. And they are always easy to work, because every item is a little puzzle in itself.

6:05 am

Sorting takes a huge amount of time.

6:05 am

Slowed right down now with 94 left. Will probably also see more words tomorrow.

6:06 am

oh yes, and sizing. I start by collecting a whole series of pictures around that theme. Then I choose a background, import all the pictures... and then the work starts.

6:06 am

yeah I am not much of a judge today. Am slow are can be and blind to match.

6:06 am

Good approach.

6:06 am

it relaxes me

6:07 am

Still missing 6 x j here!

6:07 am

Yes, the puzzles relax me too. I haven't created one for a while.

6:07 am

I am missing one. Let me know if you want help.

6:08 am

Haven't listed yet, so don't know what I need. Have je x 4; ji x 1 and ju x 2

6:09 am

je x 8, ji x 3, ju x 2. Just found my last one.

6:09 am

Just found 1 or 2 more je's

6:09 am

2 of them.

6:11 am

And another je. So now missing 1 x je and 2 x ji

6:12 am

the Js have 3 x 6 and 2x7, do you have those?

6:13 am

Have 2 x je 7 and 3 x je 6 - so yes. It seems to be simple ones I'm missing :(

6:14 am

Found a ji 4

6:14 am

often is the case for me as well. Let's see. The ji4/9 plural ghost out of the bottle... or lamp... single consonant spelling.

6:14 am

pulling a peri on me!

6:14 am

ju6/36 there?

6:14 am

Funny - I'd found the other - with the double consonant! Not the plural - so thanks for that :)

6:15 am

hehehe good, two for one.

6:15 am

Have that one. Must be missing another je

6:15 am

je + weight?

6:15 am

or the french jump, je4/9

6:15 am

have je 6,7,4,7,4

6:16 am

Have that one je 5

6:16 am

Hubby interrupted.

6:16 am

Have the jum

6:16 am

jump

6:16 am

je4/9 like the ne** lights

6:16 am

Don't worry. I'll find it sometime!

6:17 am

That was the one. Thanks.

6:17 am

je4/9 joke

6:17 am

6:18 am

lol

6:18 am

Sharing photography stuff with me.

6:18 am

Did the paddle finally get sorted?

6:18 am

ooooo kinky ;)

6:20 am

it did. Did you read that the transport guy didn't want to take it? No barcode on my papers, so he didn't take it. Had to phone the company, they changed things, then the guy had to come back and we had to write a freight form together. Looking back, it was hilarious.

6:21 am

No, I missed that! No barcode!!!! how frustrating for you. Happy it got sorted and that you can see the funny side now.

6:22 am

called my husband, lol, and told him to just listen and say ohhhh and awwwww at the right places, because I had to yell at someone :)

6:22 am

I'm sure he understood and obliged!!!!!

6:23 am

oh yes, absolutely. And he suggested I'd go and apply for a job there, because I had become so good at this, lol. I told him I was reasonably sure there were two vacancies there no.

6:24 am

now*

6:24 am

lol!

6:24 am

It sounds totally inefficient on their part. couldn't sort themselves out.

6:25 am

the funny thing was, while on the phone with the company, I said my full name and the guy totally forgot about his script and said his daughter was called Cassandra as well :)

6:25 am

coincidence. Lovely name.

6:26 am

Is it Caya's birthday today?

6:26 am

you have to be a rocket scientist to send a parcel, that is for sure. At least one this size. Their forms are made for internation business transport. For a simple civilian private sending, it is just too crazy.

6:26 am

yes it is :)

6:26 am

I know it's early this week.

6:26 am

Hope she has a lovely day. Birthday hugs from me :)

6:26 am

it is today. We celebrated in the weekend. But I got up early to hug and kiss her.

6:26 am

That's lovely.

6:27 am

Hope her friends spoil her at school.

6:27 am

will tell her! And pass on the hugs.

6:27 am

From an unknown Aussie babbler. LOL

6:27 am

She actually brought treats with her to school, lol. Usually only done in elementary school here.

6:28 am

oh I ahve told about you guys, of course. You aren't unknown here anymore.

6:28 am

I can imagine :)

6:29 am

OK time for me to go. Sorting stuff out - for the weekend. You know ;)

6:29 am

I know!! Good luck with the sorting and have a lovely evening.

6:30 am

You have a lovely day - think wonderful thoughts this afternoon and time will pass quickly. Hugs to you - and Caya.

6:30 am

7:27 am

And now, my boiled egg popped :)

7:28 am

juns

7:31 am

I always boil one extra egg to serve as the test egg.

7:32 am

It seems okay, shell just broke a bit. I haven't had that happen for a while until this batch of eggs.

7:32 am

Hi Owl. I already tried that word.

7:33 am

Lol, me too.

7:33 am

Great, now measles is in Canada due to unvaccinated people.

7:35 am

If you bring your egg water to a boil, in a covered pan, and then take the pan off the burner (without uncovering it) your eggs won't crack. Soft boiled eggs - 4 to 6 minutes...hard boiled eggs - 15 minutes.

7:35 am

It will spread quickly across North America.

7:35 am

I'll try that Molly

7:35 am

I like my boiled eggs to be soft but without any mucousy slime.

*gagging*

7:36 am

Me too.

7:36 am

Same with fried eggs

7:36 am

Yes, Owl, that is what I do with mucousy slime.

7:37 am

This is slow going, still need 200 words

7:37 am

help with rh/10 pls

the thought of any kind of boiled egg makes me gag.

7:38 am

I like them soft so I can dip my toast in it.

7:38 am

I don't even like looking at the innards of an egg so I mostly boil them.

7:38 am

Good morning everyone

8:17 am

And here is our fearless leader from the great north.

8:17 am

How is scrabby this fine day?

8:18 am

We got a foot of fresh powder last night and the trails are amazing!

8:19 am

I am getting into decent shape from all of my XC-skiing--muscles toned up. stronger.

8:21 am

I have been skiing 4 days weekly, 2.5-5 miles each time. The trails have been excellent for the last 3 wks. we got another foot Sunday-Monday.

8:21 am

Last one - en 7/40 ?

8:22 am

Common language

anyone here very familiar with fb protocols?

8:23 am

Like what? I check privacy controls occ as I keep things quite tight there.

8:23 am

Got that one - it is the last en 7/40 I am searching for

8:24 am

I don't have that one.

8:24 am

en + ode to a grecian **n of gerund

8:24 am

I have been lazy, scrabby and have only gotten out 2x a week for an hour or 2 on the snowshoe trails, but it is all good.

8:25 am

+ gerund, that is

8:25 am

TY, o-o

8:25 am

Blue Mtn must be busy, busy, Crossy!

8:26 am

I am sure it is going crazy. That is why I avoid it at all costs. I let the citiots destroy themselves in peace.

8:27 am

Do you still work there?

8:28 am

Nope:)I had enough of that for a bit. I have seen more broken wrists than my family doctor. lol Have to love rookie snowboarders

8:28 am

Or the risky skiers/riders that zip around and do jumps and flips.

8:28 am

They do not know how to fall properly

8:29 am

or boarders cutting into the path of skiers... then the war is on

8:29 am

Nope.

8:29 am

they do not know how to stay up properly

8:29 am

BBS, I have to go see a kid.

8:33 am

It is so cold today

8:34 am

I have on two pairs of wool socks, sweat pants with tights underneath, turtleneck, sweatshirt and flannel jacket. I'm still cold and am wearing a hat

8:34 am

Is your home warm, bichon

i noticed today, while checking privacy, that i can click the top right of a page to inspect it. i did that on my page and it gave me the option to check via vosteran@

8:35 am

Yes, it's warm, but trying to keep thermostat low

8:36 am

perhaps, if you raise it a bit, you will be more comfortable

8:36 am

Yes,, but Mr. Bich is home, the thermostat cheapie

8:37 am

oh, LOL

8:37 am

be back again

bich: with the high winds, there is the threat of losing power - and heat. so though i was uncomfortable, i raised mine at bedtime insteadof lowering it.

8:42 am

Our power lines are underground. Not as worried about that. If I weren't Babbling , I'd be under the covers with the fluffs

8:43 am

We keep it about 65F in the house

8:44 am

It's about that too, but I'm just feeling very cold

8:44 am

Tis minus 14c with a dandy wind chill on top today, so a sweater may be needed by my beloved. crossy has insulation like a polar bear;)

8:45 am

I think it's the hat keeping me from freezing

8:45 am

poor bichon

8:47 am

You need a USB powered heating pad that you can plug into your computer

8:48 am

North Face clothing company also sells an interesting vest for skiers... It is battery powered and the small power pack will provide heat for up to 6 hours

8:49 am

Why should a spouse have no say?

8:53 am

I need a Bichon powered heating pad for my lap

8:55 am

Spouse can have a heating pad as well:)

8:57 am

I just took the practical approach. i set up my beloveds computer tower so that the pair of two inch cooling fans are blowing heat right on her at all times. I added some filter mesh and she gets clean, warm air :)

8:59 am

re-purposing at its best!

bich, perhaps a hot cup of tea..i hate that "ca't get warn" feeling

9:02 am

and when your spouse is not at the computer, do you carry it close to her for the re-purposed warmth?

9:07 am

That's a great idea, Crossy -- I'm always at my computer and always cold! :)

9:09 am

Tea is the next step

9:12 am

First en - hint please ....

9:52 am

oh nan, haven't seen a snowflake yet this year

flosey---what's up with jill? -- haven't seen her here for ages - hope she is ok

9:52 am

Jill is fine, thanks Nan, just busy with other interests

9:52 am

The piles are about 9-10 feet tall, so throwing snow over them is challenging

9:52 am

Nan Jill is fine.

9:53 am

that's good - have been wondering.

9:53 am

I see her quite regularly at bridge, although she wasn't plaing last night

9:53 am

9:59 am

I just ordered one of those "electric shovels." My two herniated disks have not enjoyed this shoveling

12:36 pm

Hello Jaxx

12:38 pm

Hi, hego. I always seem to arrive for a chat when the other half gets hungry!

12:38 pm

I should make the effort, gail. It will help.

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

Hey, the family of the future is in the grid.

12:43 pm

Jaxx, sorry to hear that.

12:49 pm

wtg, Molly!! ty

Of course

12:50 pm

12:52 pm

My kids never watched it. That show was on when I was a kid.

12:52 pm

Molly is a youngster.

12:53 pm

funny, just found se6.18.. obviously does NOT apply to Molly

12:53 pm

:D

1:04 pm

Yay! My profession is in the grid too!

1:04 pm

And I must go. bbl.

1:05 pm

ciao, hego..

1:05 pm

am going to grab the dictionary.. el7.36 is so strange, brb

1:07 pm

but of course, it is the pl form of a logical refutation

1:08 pm

how did I not see that (-:

One of my favourite forms of proof - but I don't hink anybody ever told me it had a name! - They were too busy telling me how inelegant it was.

1:14 pm

hi helens.. amazing what you learn on Babble (if you can remember, lol)

An unfortunate amount of it just vapourizes.

Can you clue it for me? The definition isn't helping :)

1:16 pm

sure.. talk show host Degeneres, (single second consonant) + greek letter

el + cl**** your fist + refer to oneself

Much better clue than mine Al!

1:17 pm

I like yours

Now can anybody clue the en7/40? It's been eluding me since last night.

1:18 pm

native language, helens?

Now of course all possible references to native language flee my mind - they'll sneak back soon, I hope.

1:21 pm

ok, the E in ESL

1:21 pm

immigrants take that course for citizenship

1:22 pm

Hello everyone

I love the story of your Babble name - and that it was a merganser that you picked.

Sorry - the second en 7/40!

1:22 pm

quack.. it is not GREEK, another language

After the plural of completeness.

1:23 pm

oh, don't think I have that one yet, looking

1:24 pm

the last en, no.. sorry, don't have it

I must admit I struggled to come up with my native language, too - but this one is haunting me.

Thank you!

gene

Sorry!

1:24 pm

I'll hunt with you if no one clues it

1:26 pm

got it.. it is a gerund

1:27 pm

en + d***** the intermission, I bought a drink

Thank you! The gerunds have been my biggest problem in this grid, for some reason. Usually they're a welcome assist, but this time . . .

Should the en8/9 combo be easily found?

1:29 pm

not too difficult

1:30 pm

yw helens.. matty.. when someone is inducted into the Hall of Fame..

enllisht - that's when he's drunk and can't pronounce it...?

1:32 pm

lol, I'm stuck on the en5.10 !

Come on in - you should find it then :)

To go in -

1:33 pm

oh, fish me! ty matty and helens

1:33 pm

working off the wrong e

1:34 pm

3 words from that.. yay

This grid provides ample opportunity to work off the wrong e. And there are horrible moments when you wish you could think you were working off the wrong t or r!

1:36 pm

thankfully, my e's are now eliminated

1:39 pm

ty maty and helen

Good exercise, but a real pain in the back.

3:16 pm

We have those new fangled things called Weed Whackers here in these United States.

3:17 pm

Yes. And electric and gas powered hedge trimmers. All very civilized, y'know.

3:17 pm

You kids and your modern geegaws...

3:19 pm

Next time I had a overgrown patch of property to clear I just went to the equipment rental store and rented a "hedgehog" thing will chop back overgrowth up to 2 inches in diameter.

3:19 pm

cool

3:20 pm

Or you could always go to "Rent-A-Goat". Fertilizer bonus.

3:21 pm

:)

3:21 pm

Here comes the goat story

3:22 pm

I tried goats once and they eat EVERYTHING but what you want them to

3:22 pm

and they eat right down to the dirt. Nothing is left and you end up living in a dustbowl

3:22 pm

I think some states in the south tried to use goats to get rid of the kudzu. Unfortunately, there aren't enough goats in the world to eat all of that disaster.

3:23 pm

Molly nailed that.

3:23 pm

It's predictable

3:23 pm

We do not have that vine...than God

3:23 pm

obviously

3:23 pm

thank

3:24 pm

kudzu would freeze to death in an hour where you live Crossy.

3:24 pm

Sometimes these words irritate me. How can something be si8? If it is si6 there can't be any th5 more than that...Oy vey!

3:24 pm

We do have a type of wild grape that takes over things pretty quickly

3:24 pm

Another invasive item we have the Asians to thank for.

3:24 pm

Bea, you're right.

3:24 pm

Our winters are a blessing in may ways, Hego

You sounded excited! About getting your missing sh word!

6:35 pm

Of course! Always excited to find words ;)

6:35 pm

!!!!!!

6:36 pm

However, not explosively excited!

6:36 pm

Pardon, I feel sorry for the poor exclamation point. It's so overused.

6:37 pm

You sound like Ru.

6:37 pm

Interesting. I have never seen him comment on that.

6:38 pm

I thought he made the same comment a few weeks ago - perhaps I'm wrong and it was you but I thought it was in the evening (my evening) after flip time.

6:38 pm

Hi everyone!

6:38 pm

Hi nrkii

6:38 pm

Oh that is possible Liz. I am not around at the flip frenzy.

6:38 pm

re 6/24 pls?

6:39 pm

That's why I figured Ru, not you - but like I said, I could be wrong.

6:39 pm

hi nrkii!

6:39 pm

hi, nrkii :)

6:39 pm

For me, flip is either 3 or 4 in the afternoon - so good when I come back from the gym to relax with words.

6:40 pm

To re6/24 on a bet

6:40 pm

Thanks, Molly. thinking about that.

6:40 pm

Got it. Thanks.

6:41 pm

I keep forgetting about that gerund

6:42 pm

back in a bit, need a break

6:45 pm

Ooops. Good evening Babblers

6:54 pm

Hi wht

6:54 pm

hi...

6:57 pm

Nu nu, Wht

6:57 pm

Hi Molly. I presume you are disappointed with the outcome of the Super Bowl.

6:58 pm

I have been fighting a cold for the past couple of days and have not been on line much.

6:58 pm

Honestly, I don't like either team, so it was a wash for me either way. Hope you feel better soon.

6:59 pm

I will see tomorrow morning if I am feeling well enough to go back to work. Or I might work from home. But at least, now I can get out of our driveway.

7:01 pm

Well get out while you can. Sounds like you are due for another snow dump on Monday.

7:02 pm

I hope they are wrong about that. I don't know where we would put the snow.

7:03 pm

Fortunately we live on a street without a lot of traffic. Backing out the driveway without being able to see if there are any cars coming is an interesting exercise in faith that any oncoming car is paying attention.

7:07 pm

...an interesting exercise in faith...I like that

7:07 pm

got 7 left and four of them are en words....yuck!

7:08 pm

7:10 pm

LOL - I started last night but began at 90 this morning.

7:11 pm

The word list is not retaining words. That happens to me all the time. I copy my word list when I leave and then check it against what comes up when I come back.

7:11 pm

Duh! Missed the Wimbledon sport :(

7:11 pm

I also had to put in some words again this morning.

7:12 pm

Oh be still my heart. Harper Lee (author of To Kill A Mockingbird) is publishing her second book ever. Set in the 1950's, it features characters from To Kill A Mockingbird, 20 years older.
