hi Liz

12:10 am

Hey flosey and liz

12:10 am

as a white person who endeavors not to be racist, you kind of hope that even if you cannot make up for past wrongs of your ancestors, the world is at least NOW moving in the right direction, which helps you kind of live with yourself. and then when something happens which looks likely to turn that around and head back in the other direction, you start finding it harder. at least, i do.

12:10 am

fa6/7

12:11 am

I get ya hursh

12:12 am

Everyone I know is upset hurshy

12:12 am

i'm with ya. Spent most of Wednesday in a rolling emotional break down. that was... a thing.

12:12 am

I am not upset and I cannot and will not worry about my ancestors or their actions.

12:12 am

sorry about brexit.

12:13 am

I am stopping at 75 words and 820 points. I'll finish later.

12:13 am

I'm not worried about my ancestors. I am worried about the generations to come.

12:13 am

Sleep well, Min

12:13 am

Brexit has not upset me. The way I see it is that something else will turn up at some point.

12:13 am

Goodnite 2 all babblers!Hope to see you here later today

12:13 am

Sweet dreams Min

12:14 am

i think the chief trouble is that there is a whole group of white people who are kind and decent and conservative and they can't actually imagine or believe that there is a whole other group of white people who are NOT kind or decent, that the mainstream media is just making that hate speech stuff up, and so they don't realize that they've just given them permission to be horrid.

12:14 am

i should remind you all that i am not ACTUALLY british, i just WISH i were. i'm american.

12:14 am

where do they think 'mainstream media' comes from?

12:15 am

the liberal elites

12:15 am

ah, i just looked at your flag, sorry

12:15 am

i am American and wish not to be anything else.

12:15 am

Some people are so blind to what happens.

12:16 am

no need to be sorry. if one has a confusing flag, one cannot mind if others are confused by it. I'M sorry for being confusing :)

12:16 am

in that case, i'm sorry for a whole different set of racist bigoted economy destroying screw-offs...

12:16 am

and sad about Leonard Cohen on top of it.

12:17 am

I heard about that. So sad.

Clues are up

12:17 am

Thanks, Lickety

12:17 am

thanks, lickety

12:17 am

Thanks

12:18 am

I think I will just not think about horrible things any more. I will just watch Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory again. The election results coupled with Cohen's death again has left me numb.

12:18 am

thanks Lickety

12:18 am

how come i can't see more than half of the S's

12:19 am

take the mental health break, origami. but don't take too long. remember that all that is needed for evil to win is for good people to do nothing.

12:19 am

because they're hiding behind the h's?

12:19 am

I am watching the harry Potters again. Can't find all my dvds at the moment as I have things packed.

12:19 am

I along with a lot of other Canadians are upset that a man like that could be president elect --- I can't imagine how moderate and forward thinking Amercans must feel.

12:20 am

well, right now i'm strongly thinking about moving to canada, nan

12:20 am

you know that feeling you get when you eat something and it just tastes off?

12:20 am

because alternating between nausea and breaking down crying isn't working so well for me.

12:20 am

I do hursh

12:21 am

Hugs jes

12:21 am

I know hurshy. I just want to take a break from reality. I am entitled :-)

12:21 am

if i weren't smack in the middle of my master's program i'd probably be looking into canada as well. if they'd have me.

12:22 am

student visa?

12:22 am

Anyone with techie training wouldn't have a problem

12:23 am

no like everything is all arranged for me to do my student teaching in january, and i haven't the foggiest idea what i would need to do from there to be certified as a teacher in a country other than the US

12:24 am

what will your degree be?

12:24 am

doctors and nurses as well -- have a brain drain here as medicos can earn so much more in the state. Our doctors have a cap on what they can charge for various procedures.

12:24 am

MA in elementary education

12:24 am

Alas, I am stuck here.

12:25 am

I've a link to the things that qualify for express entry but will make people angry if I post it here because it's long

12:25 am

We have more teachers than we need.

12:25 am

rats

12:26 am

University Degree at Masters Level is on the list though

12:26 am

apropos that FAUST is in the grid

12:29 am

phds get more points than doctors in their pool.

2 reasons why i think about my ancestors: 1) someone says they think about the future instead. well don't we do that because we don't want them to look back and say, man, our ancestors really screwed things up and now it's super duper hard for us to fix it? 2) if your family was rich and you found out that your dad had made all his money through sex trafficking or something else terrible, what would you do? because that is where we are right now, it's just more generations, which makes it harder to see. but if you take the time to look, it pops out like a magic eye painting.

12:32 am

Luke! I am your fa6. :-D (couldn't resist)

12:33 am

Nice, m9 :)

12:33 am

Hahahahahaha m9. Love it! Already got that one.

Well this is the only place I see those ts5s!

12:44 am

Not getting the at7!

12:45 am

got the a!

12:45 am

that is why i think it's funny that you said you THINK of it - as if it is unique to you instead of something is liek, objectively a babblet because 95% of us never see the word elsewhere

12:45 am

Pray about it medusa! Bwahahahaha!!

12:46 am

wow you can tell i am sleepy

12:46 am

Well.. I guess I USUALLY think of babblets as being 4 letters long.

12:46 am

maybe it's a babblette...

Good morning sprite

2:30 am

morning Marc!

2:30 am

xoxox and {{hugs}} dear sprite

2:31 am

good evening my dear friend *hugs rose* How was your day? How did the church soup go and the movie night?

2:32 am

yesterday was most successful.. today i have taken it very easy...nothing physical at all.

2:32 am

are you hurting, darling?

2:34 am

not at the moment. just asked himself... he doesn't remember what he was yelling at me about... if at all.

2:35 am

you can tell him from me that he is kind of past the age he can indulge in temper tantrums. If it was so minor he cannot even recall the reason, he shouldn't blow up in the first place. Especially not against you, knowing how you will shut down.

2:36 am

tomorrow is church. and Monday i must give my admission papers to the hospital for the weekend, 2 weeks after.

2:36 am

counting down :)

2:38 am

himself cannot remember...

2:39 am

sprite.... he is so melodramatic...

2:39 am

yeah I know, that is what you said... still doesn't diminish his being responsible for his own behaviour

cr8, please?

2:40 am

absolutely sprite

2:40 am

sweetie, he can be all he is... but if you dissociate so badly you start repeating yourself and can't remember what happened at all, it is NOT a good thing.

2:41 am

marc... what our Lord God didi

2:41 am

rose already clued it when you asked before, Marc. God's work of making everything

sorry didn't see it. Thanks to both of you

2:41 am

yvw

2:42 am

sprite, i hear you my bestie.

2:43 am

*hugs rose* I definitely don't want to make waves in a good marriage. But I do think you need to speak up for yourself in this, and not allow him to be mr Drama to the extend you are taking damage.

2:43 am

extent*

2:45 am

how do you guys call the kind of water bottles bicycle racers use?

I just call them the water bottles bicycle riders use...

2:49 am

lol ok. We call it 'bidon' and it doesn't take.

2:49 am

and hiya matty! How are you today?

Good morning! It's wet and miserable here. We've friends coming to dinner tonight though so I shall bugger a chicken (beer can chicken, but you shove the can up the chicken's jacksie, so...)

How are you folks today?

2:51 am

yeah, lovely, tastes so good too.

2:51 am

I am ok. Back is hurting, but I have a whole day of no obligations :)

Excellent! Jeff's had to pop into work, so I'm still snuggled up in bed

Have you got numbers for the I in the last column and the T in the top row?

2:52 am

that is so cozy, isn't it...

2:52 am

ta4/5 and 5/12 for the top T

2:53 am

it is a combo

2:53 am

don't have the i yet, will help look

2:54 am

it5/12 for the i

2:54 am

and I think the Ts I just mentioned are from the second row T, sorry

2:55 am

let me check again, I have two of them

I found a ta4/5 but can't yet see how to combo it (unless I have a different one from you). Thank you! Once I find that pesky i, I shall be nbt and nbs

2:55 am

It5/12 is what sm

2:55 am

tu4/5 is from that top T

2:55 am

It5/12 is what snakes do minus the first two letters!

2:56 am

yeah ta4/5, not a combo, is from the top T too

2:56 am

Morning all although hardly good as it is pouring with rain

2:56 am

hiya spellit! I think matty only wants the stats for now

True. But thank you (nbt/nbs) :)

I won't hold it against you ;)

2:57 am

wtg matty!

3:03 am

funny that cr8, th6 and at7 are in the same grid

sa6/30, please?

3:10 am

I have it but how to clue it, lol

3:12 am

it is the alt spelling of a usually Hindu mendicant ascetic. Start with a word for depressed. Double the consonant.

thanks got it

3:13 am

wtg Marc!

3:13 am

where did rose go? Chasing a squirrel again?

3:16 am

cr8, th6, at7 and di8 all share a theme :)

Thanks for that! That's the 8s slaughtered

Oh could I get a clue for di8, please?

3:26 am

di8: someone who believes in 2 gods

thanks

3:28 am

3:32 am

fireflies. Any other clues needed before I go?

3:34 am

4:21 am

Is it just me or does this grid have teeth? I am not finding this grid easy at all. Got 36 words still to find and have come to a halt.

4:24 am

Hello, ((Ruby))

4:30 am

Hi ruby

4:30 am

I was hoping for a go zo grid, but it could be worse! At least the (very) cold sun is shining

4:30 am

gonzo*

4:31 am

((ZZOOZZ)) ((BICHON))

4:31 am

and Matty!!

4:31 am

Raining here...no suprise there then.

4:32 am

We've had no rain at all so far this month and we are 12 down for the year

4:33 am

*12 inches

4:33 am

My Wonder dog may be handsome, protecctive and a great dancer, but he still doesn't close the door behind him.

4:33 am

If I could..I would gladly send you some much need rain, Bicon.

4:33 am

Bichon*

4:34 am

Here, we get the right amount of rain but November is very dark

4:35 am

Yes, it is a depressive month. Gets dark earlier and the beautifully colored leaves depart

4:35 am

By about the middle of December it is dark by about 3:30pm so depressing.

4:36 am

But,spring will come

4:36 am

I am still chanting "Mild Winter..Mild Winter" Molly lol

4:36 am

Most of thge people I know, bboth here, there and everywhere are depressed in Nov.

4:37 am

It will, Bichon that it will :-)

4:37 am

They arepredicting a very cold winder here

4:37 am

We haven't any very old weather yet. Lows around the freezing point.

4:37 am

Probably all that thought of over spending at Christmas time, Ruby lol

4:39 am

And it's brought my first strong reealization of widowhood! The one thing that might have helped me through this catastrophic election, would have been talking about it with my once-brilliantt husband.

4:40 am

I've been dreaing about him lately, mostly having the conversations we might have had....

4:40 am

He was a Republican, so it made our discourse lively

4:40 am

Is there not a get together group you could go to, Ruby one or two times a week say?

4:42 am

I only drive if it's absolutely nedessary and the French are very private, so don't seem to have supportt groups

4:43 am

Butmy Fr friends call and drop by and I have my housekeeper, so it'sn not bleak

4:43 am

I am very lucky!

4:43 am

That is good to hear :-0

4:43 am

:-)*

4:43 am

The dark time of year causes a lot of depression. Light deprivation.

4:44 am

I am going to list as I am getting no where fast.

4:44 am

i LEAVE MY READING LIGHT ON? DIRECTLY IN MY FACE? WHEN i NAP

4:44 am

sorry for caps! Didn'tmean to shout

4:45 am

Yes true, Molly. there are lights you can buy for this not sure if the condition is called SAD but that rings a bell.

4:46 am

Seasonal Affective Disorder.

4:46 am

That is it Zoom. Seasonal Affective Disorder.

4:48 am

I have that in the summer

4:48 am

It helps to get out in the sun as much as possible during the day.

4:49 am

That is why I love my garden :-)

4:50 am

I feel worse about hot and humid weather. Doesn;t let me feel invigorated

4:50 am

If you can't get outside for some reason, even sitting in a sunny window for 10 or 15 minutes a day helps.

4:51 am

It's never too hot for me

4:51 am

yes, Molly, I do that

4:51 am

Not a nice feeling I am sure, Bichon. I do not have t hat problem myself. I am the opposite i love the heat.

4:51 am

I would rather be warm than cold any day.

4:51 am

Although the humidity with heat must be a real drain.

4:52 am

Oh yes me too..at least you can take layers of clothes off when getting too warm.

4:52 am

It is very draining and it's humid most of the summer here

4:52 am

That's why I loved Florida, except for the mosquitoes.

4:52 am

My problem with either extreme season is lack of fresh air. Too much heat or too much air conditioning bother me.

4:53 am

Neither of those problems here -- no heat and rarely aircon

4:53 am

ditas

4:53 am

sorry

4:53 am

no more talkinbg for moi

4:53 am

In a hot humid summer, there is no fresh air anywhere, even outside. : (

4:54 am

Tu peux continuer à parler, Ruby :-)

4:55 am

Tu es trop gentil, zzoozz!

4:55 am

We humans are never happy with the weather lol

4:55 am

Tray bean everyone : P

4:55 am

hahah, Molly!

4:56 am

vous êtes les bienvenus, Ruby!

4:56 am

LOL I like tht, Molly!

4:56 am

That*

4:56 am

lots of Fr words in the grid today

4:56 am

I was married to a French speaker and learned how to poke fun, when necessary.

4:57 am

at 7/32, pls

4:57 am

There is a Gaelic word too, but the Gaelic definition is not given.

4:58 am

A person who does not believe i a god, Bichon.

4:58 am

in a god*

4:59 am

doh! ty zooz

4:59 am

My first husband was a French historian (from IUL), and used to make a lot of language jokes and puns

4:59 am

IUL, ruby?

4:59 am

IL*

5:00 am

That is good Ruby. Living with someone who has a sense of humor is good for you. They don't assume every bit of poking fun is "mean spirited".

5:01 am

And lunch was delicious, choucroute garni -- how great is that?

6:09 am

I'm glad you liked your lunch, Ruby. I'm not a sauerkraut fan.

6:09 am

Compared to the usual, and nothing yesterday because of the Holiday, it was splendid!

6:10 am

Really? France celebrates our Veteran's Day?

In the UK it's called Remembrance Day, though it's not a national holiday. We also have ceremonies on the first Sunday after the 11th (Remembrance Sunday)

It was originally to celebrate the end of WWI

6:12 am

Yes, all the French wars, especially WW1. At our tiny village cemetery they lay wreaths, have a little brass band, close the Streets and the mayor gives a speech!

6:12 am

9:19 am

Hi ms D

9:19 am

dorens, i have a brave foodie grand-daughter, too - little neck clams didn't faze her :)

9:20 am

good morning. I've been running around so much that today the only time I intend to leave my house is to pick up the newspaper at the end of the driveway. Which I should do right now, actually.

9:20 am

that's pretty cool welki. how old is she now?

9:20 am

she was 8 at clam time, almost 10 now

9:21 am

she'll try anything - and i mean ANYTHING. love her :)

9:21 am

very cool. Phoebe didn't even want to try raw oysters till 10.

9:22 am

i have two others who are very picky eaters

9:22 am

--- wont try raw oysters and is over 60

9:22 am

well of course you do! I'm sure that (other than Phoebe) she's the most marvelous little girl on earth. Granddaughters tend to be that way. :)

9:23 am

you should, ru - might help in the "oh god" department

9:23 am

Well Ru, we get them fresh on Martha's Vineyard... harvested within the day, but it still took many many years of watching my 3 kids shucking and eating before I could get myself to try them.

9:23 am

Hard to say oh god when you are gagging on a crustacean

9:24 am

again with the innuendo - ho ho ho!

9:24 am

Good morning, all!

9:25 am

he just can't help himself.

9:25 am

hi, judi

9:25 am

9:26 am

thanks Dorens - finally found it for firewords!

9:26 am

Just pearls of wisdom ladies

9:26 am

hooray for dan2

9:26 am

Raw oysters? Frankly, my dear, I don't give a clam.

9:27 am

i haven't listed yet, but when asked for a da 7 I knew to search for it. Need more people asking for clues for words that I don't know are there.

9:27 am

Watches judi mussel in on the puns

9:28 am

Well, have at it you too. I'm going to get the newspaper and hunker down in a sunny spot. Maybe even make breakfast.

9:28 am

Aw d. Finish the grid

9:29 am

Aw shucks. Just trying to fit in.

9:29 am

well, if I do then what do I have to look forward to today?

9:29 am

Um lunch?

9:30 am

Off to brekkie! Later, kids!

9:30 am

have a fridge full of food I haven't had time to cook. So maybe that will be the afternoon. Butternut squash soup, for which I already bought the apple cider. Maybe.

7:50 pm

bye TO

10:07 pm

Anyone around at this time? I'm over half way and have NBS but haven't found that top row corner A. Could someone tell me the stats for it Please?

10:09 pm

Hello Nef! at7/32 is someone who does not believe in God

10:10 pm

Thanks, Min! I have searched every time I sat down at the grid today. It was making me frustrated!

10:11 pm

Just found the word myself. I looked at the chat in archive

10:14 pm

Ahh. I've never used the chat archives like that; (partially because I get distracted reading the chat log & forget to write down the clues!)

10:14 pm

because the chat is so scintillating?

10:15 pm

It always is whenever you are here rururocks! Hello there!

10:15 pm

Sure, ru, why why not?

10:16 pm

Hi to both of you, BTW

10:16 pm

I always goto chat archives after I have exhausted Lickety.

10:16 pm

(Can't forget my manners, can I?) ;-)

10:17 pm

hi all.

10:17 pm

hi you two.. and mkg

10:18 pm

Hello mkg! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chat

10:18 pm

any c;lues for the two 8s? ty.

10:18 pm

I haven't even looked at Lickety; I try to leave that for when it's closer to the flip

10:18 pm

hi msg.

10:19 pm

mkg, that is (Sorry)

10:19 pm

I go to Lickety as soon as I get halfway through the puzzle

10:21 pm

So this my babble routine: find half the words on my own. Open list and find all 4 letter words I missed.Scroll through the chog for clues. Then I open up the chat log in archives

10:21 pm

We all have our own personal rules, don't we? :-)

10:22 pm

I'll only ask babblers for clues if I'm absolutely DESPERATE.

10:23 pm

I also don't use the tile stats at the bottom until I am have only three words left. Right now I am scrolling the archive.

10:23 pm

I like to finish the grids without lickety if possible

10:24 pm

Well, I've worked on this grid off & one 4 different times today & did search with More Words, but still could;t find that corner A word.

10:24 pm

i get 2 or 3 out of five.. i have to go to lickety whether i like it or not

10:24 pm

:D

10:25 pm

It's nice to know how other people play! :-)

10:26 pm

That is some restraint rururocks. I would NEVER finish grids if I did not use Lickety's list. Thank goodness for Lickety!

10:27 pm

I have also never used morewords before. I do use Reverse Dictionary a lot though. That is why I like definition clues.

10:27 pm

Agreed, Min. It seems that when the list isn't up, it takes a lot of people a long time to get help

10:29 pm

I don't even bother half the time if there is no list, but I do appreciate those who R nice enough to post lists in profile.

10:29 pm

some people need help before the list :D

10:30 pm

Very true, Min.

10:31 pm

I always need help before listing rururocks, but I refuse to get any help(clues/list)before finding half of words myself

10:32 pm

I wasn't talking about clues Minver :D

10:33 pm

ru, were you being sarcastic? (if so, it went right over my head!)

10:36 pm

yes.. it's my nature

10:37 pm

LOL! And it's my nature to be gullible, I guess.

10:38 pm

i'm a born cynic and wiseass

10:39 pm

It seems that way sometimes, ru. But not always.

10:39 pm

It went over my head too. It is in my nature to be clueless.

10:40 pm

hello friends

10:40 pm

Hi Bugs, How are you?

10:40 pm

Hello Bugsaw! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

10:41 pm

I am very well thanks. Hope you are all well and happy too

10:41 pm

hi bugs

10:42 pm

hi ruru. Is it still warm enough there to still enjoy your pool?

10:42 pm

well guess no one wants to clue the 8s.

10:42 pm

I am well, not sure about happy, but doing the best I can.

10:43 pm

I had supper with some friends; we had a delightful evening. :-)

10:43 pm

cr 8 is what God made

10:43 pm

I was actually able to swim a bit today..it's been warmer of late

10:43 pm

crlittlegreenapples

10:43 pm

10:43 pm

10:44 pm

Thanks, Bugsaw!

10:44 pm

it's not really mool.. seems like it's harder than it is

10:44 pm

Min, I am glad you are managing to find balance in your life. You are on a rough road just now but it gets easier.

10:44 pm

<---fires off a Ray joke

10:44 pm

So sorry, mkg, I did not see your request before. cr 8/45 is something you make. di 8/50 is di plus th 6/21 word mkg.

10:44 pm

It's just very twisty I think

10:44 pm

not much in the way of patterns

10:45 pm

ty min. i dont have th 6 yet. but ty. will look.

10:46 pm

Hi moolingwa! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

11:09 pm

I challenged myself some weeks ago to get back to 1030 score and my goodness it has taken ages and still not there -- maybe not such a good idea

11:10 pm

I haven't been at 1030 in years

11:10 pm
