hi all. clue for the bottom row A please. ty.
An4/6
ty
anga
oops sorry
cyan
darn did it twice. off to pb.
ga 6/36, pls
ga + cons, plural and two vowels. dont know how else to clue it. sorry
ty mkg, a tough one
why is je6 still in the dict? Might as well include the "n" word while they're at it... I'm really offended!
Don't know....that word and the italian dago" bother me, also.
The mysteries of Enable
i agree totally. lets feed hatred.
there are others that are offensive too.
yes, the slang for Italians is also a "word" on this game
i don't think i know that slang word
Lucky you :-)
this is a tough little grid at the end isn't it
look at 8:39, Shirlockc(aebmusica)
Hiya, kiddos.
hi Judi
un 7/40, pls
un 7/40 -- you take a rock and ***** it to the woods...
ty bo, fw for me
best I could do on short notice...
yw :)
Huzzah. Fireworks!
The N-word is included. Oddly, Negro is not.
They need to weed out all their "acceptable" racist epithets. And je6 is really offensive! They don't much like Jews hre, but l've never heard a racist word
I don't know if my Neighbors know that l'm Jewish. My name is white bread!
It's a word.
I get it that it's offensive.
The F-word, the C-word, the N-word. All offensive. but they are words.
try putting some offensive words in. You'll be hard pressed to find one that's not included. And some of them are truly vile.
There's a censored version of enable. You could look for a puzzle that uses that. Otherwise, get over it.
BTW: I'm Italian Jewish. I've enter the Italian slurs (there's two at least) innumerable times. Never once did they offend me.
Hi all. Clue for the eo6 please?
I think everyone is referring to political correctness Tomago.. just like Homo offends gay people...maybe it's time for them to be removed from the dictionary and enable since they are offensive.. just a thought.
eo 6 a belief in ages and time
ty, ruru
I think there are offensive words in the grid; but because there's no context here (i.e. they are in a word list/word game) they are much less so than when used as a slur or even in jest. Removing them from the word list won't make them go away quickly (though, arguably, removing them from dictionaries and word lists would help them die a death...if only racists would themselves stop using them)
racists will never stop using them .. unfortunately.. it's part of their hateful arsenal
I'm not particularly upset by their presence, but then, I'm in a position of privilege, not having those words used against me or to describe me. I totally understand people who are, though.
What offends me is including words like a 1/100 part of a kwanza
I'm sure that's a joke.. but I don't get it
Im pretty sure it's jews and not Jews. Maybe I misunderstand the rules of the game...but I thought that proper nouns were not allowed (as in the people), but as a plant (ie. wandering jews) that's the reference here. Don't get me wrong, racism is abhorrent...
i am part passamaquoddy inian from maine. i remember my father telling me when i was a chil to not mention my heritage in public.... he did not get several jobs because he was part indian.. he said he remembers his grandfather said he wished is grandfathers people had killed the goddam round eyes when they first landed
well.. they're all bad.. this chat does seem to take offense to anything Jewish or Hebrew quite quickly however
I don't condone racism at all, nor vile language. Sometimes these words appear only for the purpose of completing the grid
on that note.. I wish black people wouldn't call each other the N word either ... it seems to be part of their speech patterns though.
think you know racism???? or slurs?? my number 1 daughter marrie a catholic.. number 2 married a jew and mumber three married a black man.. we have papists, kikes and niggers in my familyand well love eac other an have no lack of friends and we ont worry about the jerks who have a problem or a \comment
teat is their problem, not ours
ruru, that is about reclaiming the word, by using it in their community it takes the power out of it in the white community
It's important and strategic
Clue for li5/18 please?
like a kind of cod biltong
found it, ty origami
you're welcome
it actually doesn't take the power out of it at all Rolotom.. I just reinforces the white Power racists that it is ok to use that vulgar term
I married a jewish woman Sammy.. I had a black girlfriend once.. I think I know something about racism... although I live in a pretty progressive state
Got the 7. When your sprained arm feels better.
:-)
looks like Biltong is fishing for clues :D
I was just about to say let's change the subject and get onto the puns ruru lol
hallo - quite the fiery chog here!
you took the bait biltong
22 to go. done with grading papers!!!
lol, I did origami
stuck at 18. going to the list!
my first word was the 7 haha
done!
hagd all
well done Harry :)
Clue for the first li5/14, please?
Different last letter from the 5/10 above it, is all
hello!
ty, Samantha
Hi harp
bbl, thanks for the clues
bye for now
I know you just tried to change the subject, but I'd like to point out that I have played the C word and the F word when playing Words With Friends----with priest! No holds barred!
It amuses me how people take offense at some words and not others. People used the term gypped all the time. That term is offensive to gypsies. But no one seems to care much about that.
I had, years ago, a short stint in a homeless shelter== I asked my black friend, Dorothy, why the other women called me "nigger"-- she told me that it meant that I was accepted & liked--
It made me uncomfortable, though, as I was brought up to NEVER use that hateful word...
I've also lived w/ a black man for the past 14 years (I'm white)...
hi all, diving in
I also think that "jew", when used as a verb, is really offensive...
priests are appropriate for F words and molest words :D
I was the only kid in our neighborhood who said "catch a kitten by the toe" w/" eeny, meeny, miney, mo"-- all the other kids used the "N" word & made fun of me-- I still said "kitten"-- now it seems like animal cruelty :D
well libarebel.. there is more ways to skin a cat ..
:D-- ruru-- don't get me started on Catholics-- I'm an ex
LOL, ruru!
there are I meant :D
oh, grammar schmammar!
I always hated it when the priest would say bend over for your penance
Oh dear!!!
just kidding
I went to confession once & said I hadn't sinned & was met w/ an angry retort that I had committed the great sin of Pride-- made to say a gazillion Hail Marys & Our Fathers...
Glad you're kidding-- phew...
I never went to church as a kid.. hated it
I was dragged kicking & screaming (not literally)
i got expelled from Sunday School actually
hola
greetings doc
hot up there today?
My mom was Protestant & I was told by the Sunday school nun (Sister Mart Edmond) that I had to convert her or else she couldn't go to Heaven-- I told my mom, & she called up Sister M.E. & totally reamed her a new one-- made Sunday class a bit uncomfortable for me :D
we melted hiking in sonoma yesterday... though heard it was worse on saturday
Mary
I was allowed to drop out of Sunday by my mom after Sister Mary Edmond incident :D
School
i was in the pool all day kje and had cold cocktails to stave off the heat.. it was 106 at my house
alcohol, heat, water... nothing can go wrong there ; )
my parents were protestant also.. but never went to church.. it cut into their gambling weekends in Tahoe
i was asked to leave Sunday School for cutting up and joking. Can you imagine?
Sister M.E. also told a class of 9 year olds "Don't be touching yourselves"-- I was clueless about what she meant... that was actually thelast straw w/ my mom-- Yay! Free on Sunday!
Cutting up & joking is a Mortal Sin!
Sister ME and I wouldn't get along either
She may have decked you, ruru-- she was a large mannish woman :D
some protestants are okay with joking -- such as me
I was a tiny kid until my senior year in high school
I am an agnostic with Pagan & Buddhist leaning..
angry is my phanton
I'm an atheist pure and simple
when i die.. my grave stone will say "all dressed up and no where to go"
You would have been picked on by Sister ME, ruru-- she was a bully!
probably.. i had a bit of a mouth when i was a kid
Great gravestone :D
I was quiet & shy-- unless someone picked on me-- I never started a fight, and never lost one-- sent neighborhood boy bully bloodied & crying "Mommy" as he ran home!
I've really never been in a fight..
a bit of a mouth? heavens no!!!
I guess Lowell MA (where I grew up) which was then a gritty mill city was known for tough kids-- I had to defend myself on several occasions...
Did you say swear words w/ your "bit of a mouth"?
I'm glad you changed your icon, ruru-- I'd developed a crush on that Japanese actor!
clue for the ga6/36 pls
please?
ga6?
yes, same as hoya...
RHYMES with what you wrap a wound with
that gets me 4 of the letters...
and then add a couple vowels
thanks!
fw
Ending of ga is like a nickname-- like y is often (kind of lousie clue...
ty, all, got the ga6 at last
12 to go, time for a food break
Ru, I have to agree with your earlier comment. People can lambaste the Catholic Church here but if the same sentiments were made about other faiths, people would be insulted.
fw - hagd all
Well, the Catholic Church had a really public scandal-- I don't know if other churches have less sexual abuse as the Catholic Church, or are just more careful about hiding it...
i think many church
I think that many faiths requirement of celibacy is the main problem.. it's just not human nature unless it is a very special human being
Ooh-- sudden FW! Last word(s) sw5/18 & plural...
I agree Ru and I have heard priests say similar things.
However I would not go as far as to say all who choose celibacy are bound to molest children.
I totally agree ruru-- I think that that may well be the crux of the problem...
no pun intended w/ crux...
I agree that the unrealistic requirement of celibacy is the root of the problem of abuse in the Catholic church too but for many predators the church offers up obedient children who are taught not to be disrespectful to elders.
root of the problem was not meant as a pun either ;)
So sadly true, Bug...
:D, Bug!
i think it is a problem with lots of churches bugs, including the greater exposed catholic church.. it's bad news. Sexual abuse of Children is just about the worst thing imaginable
Way too often, children who have been abused are accused by their parents of lying...
I really have a problem with the Jehovah Witness church providing sanctuary for abusers by trying to stop gossiping. Good idea. Wrong solution.
exactly
Spot on, Bug!
and all the cults have problems like this too
Most faiths encourage obedient children who are taught not to be disrespectful to elders.
<--missed out on that teaching
I agree Molly, and I taught my kids to be respectfull of everyone, even if they didn't like them. But I also told them to speak up when they saw injustice, just do it respectfully.
Then you have the bad seeds, like me, who subscribe to the theory "show me a rule and I will show you six ways to break it" : D
I guess I'm a bad seed as well, Molly
I'm just seedy
I just thought rules didn't apply to me ;)
I used to announce that rules are made to be broken, until squelched by parents...
I worry about kids who are TOO good.
yes, Bug-- rules were for other people...
I tend not to follow rules either... hence my divorce :D
I was married long ago & far away-- for 1 1/2 years--
.. i have you beat there lib
I don't mess with marriage vows, just the odd stop sign when ruru visits
didn't get the "obey" part of love, honor vow right...
LOl.. looking forward to breaking the law in BC again in a month :D
making that little old lady lunge for the curb was a little over the top though bugs
Pot smoking is, however, just as much fun when it's legal-- better w/ no paranoia about getting caught--
I didn't promise to obey. But I have since learned that to obey in biblical language means to listen. I am a good listener, just not so good at obeying
we are not quite there yet libarel but it is coming to Canada
I obeyed.. but mostly when we role played :D
I have medical authorization, & just LOVE the Sativa gummies-- very mellowing & really works for back pain too!
pot doesn't do much for me.. I really don't care for it
it's far too strong out here for a weenie like me anyways nowadays
It depends on the strain, ruru-- Sativa is the mellow part, while Cannabis is the edgy part...
On July 1, Canada goes green, right Bug?
Does anyone please, have stats for the A in the bottom row?
an 4,4
It has been moved back to Ocober 19 now
an 4 a little buffalo
it takes one to an4 one
I even invested a small amount of $$ in penny pot stocks-- may soar after Canada legalizes it...
well.. i hope that investment doesn't go up in smoke
Oct. 19? Why?
ruru-- I do gummies so that it doesn't...
I have several an4/4s....none of which come from that A. Hmmmm
it's a babblet matty... we have it all the time
an4/6
go up in smoke, that is-- don't want my $$ to be "wasted"!
It is a national change so all the provinces and local governments needed more time to sort out the details of how and where it would be sold and how it was to be monitored. also, need to determine and put laws in place regarding levels of intoxication etc.
Got it, thanks. I don't know why I thought it was a 4/4 - I misread
I would not be any happier that someone who was blitzed on dope drove over my kid than if he was drunk on alcohol. Reason must be a part of this.
there goes BC's productivity.. strong pot and beautiful scenery.. everyone is just going to space out
i'll start a driving service up there for potheads bugs.. don't worry.. i'll call it guber
all the cities and towns are worried about how many shops should be allowed and/or if they can be next to day care centres and schools etc
love the name !
whew got the top row done
The same thing is true of Massachusetts, Bugs-- also it's a tougher process, since it's still illegal at the Federal level-- we have only medical dispensaries; waiting on red tape in MA for recreational...
I never drive when I do pot-- I am far too frightened--
i think i was in college the last time i smoked po
pot
exactly libarel. Reason has to be part of this but if there are no rules there can be no consequences and way too many people can't follow their own moral compass because they don'thave one.
In my drinking days, I always felt that I was "fine" to drive-- in retrospect, I consider myself to have been very lucky to not have been in an accident-- I'm a teetotaler by necessity-- 15 years now...
you are so right Bugs!
I had expected to "outgrow" pot, but that never happened-- wasn't just a phase for me-- also I've grown older, but not more "mature"...
Wiser, though, for sure
don't get me wrong.. I'm not anti-drug.. i think it should be legal.. it helps a lot of people
I'm clear w/ that, ruru
exactly ru. people have to make up thier own minds. I stopped when I had kids. Too many dangers with inhaled drugs and little brains. I worked in the schools for years and some of those kids were living in grow op houses. It was on their clothes, not their breath.
I am done. Must go for a walk inbetween rain downpours. Weird weather day here. Happy Babbling
it is windy but sunny here
I broke my knee in Sept. in an auto accident, and I was given Oxycodone for pain-- it backfired and caused me to be sleepless or, if able to sleep, horrible nightmares-- that's when I got the gummies per my doctor-- it did wonders for the pain, & the buzz helped greatly w/ my cabin fever...
that sounds pretty painful
I get vicodin for headaches.. but that doesn't bother me much
It was agonizing-- I couldn't even have the weight of a sheet on it-- it was the tibial plateau-- the top of tibia & down the front of tibia...
The only opiate/opiod I can take is percocet, but it doesn't work as well as gummies-- pot is also non-addictive...
Any clues needed before I get back to building my milk crate bookshelf?
Ah well, hagd, everyone!
found a water bird
wang
oops, found a wang
Hope it is attached still
doesn
doesn't matter. it's not a word
We sure don’t want Lorena Bobbit’s paraphenalia in the chat
Lorena Bobbit, the "someone finally did it" chick : P
*grins
And I'm just guessing, but I don't think harpjane is interested in those kind of animals. : D
Hi saanich
hello ru, what's new?
EAsy monday here. I am done with work and now outside getting my vitamind
How bout u?
chores, like getting the car serviced. all done. yawn. then making brownies for a kind neighbour who is teaching me how to use the 5-ton woodsplitter I just bought. warm winters ahead!
Wow
Wow
Wow
Ru seems totally amazed
lumberjacks scare him
I should give him my daily rundown. It would probably rate six wows
laughs!!!
Splitting wood is hard work
No five ton wood splitters though
it sure is and at last I don't have to. YAY! splitter is like cutting butter
Wood splitters, car batteries and snow shovels are how people survive living in Canada
for a lot of people yes/ Single malts helps.
Snow and I don’t get along
Molly, what's on your WOW list for ru ?
Wood nymphs?
I had a good single malt Scotch this weekend. And I don't even like Scotch much. Lagavulin. Good stuff.
That is one I have never tried -- will look for it
It is really smokey and peaty
sounds wonderful, must try it
Molly. Try highland park.
yay finished. Wish I had one of those malts! Bye.

what's your summer job,minver?
I'm a group leader at a day camp. Never worked at camp before. I am a little bit nervous about it because I am so out of shape. I'll be huffing & puffing the first 2 weeks.
what kind of campers do you have?
anyone have a clue for the u
The camp is for students in grades pre-k to 8th. I will be working w/different groups every day. It makes it more interesting to work w/different groups instead of just 1
The un 7/40 is un + what a holds a fractured arm maybe
remove support for the arm in a cast? UN

Hello Praes!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
yw
i dont see why i didnt have that because i already had half of the word
goog
good
Hi TraderKate! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
That sounds like a fun yet challenging job, Min!
The pay is also very challenging; below minimum wage.
It's better than nothing though. 3 days ago I did not have a job, so I am glad I got this last minute. Some money is a lot better than no $$$ at all, plus no commute 4 me.
Is it s recreation type camp?
Yes, it has all kinds of different activities from sports to zip lining to arts and craft and swimming.Looks like fun.
I did that once. years ago. It was pretty fun! I still see some of the kids and parents, which is nice.
any clues for c or e
i have e and one of c that i need
i already have cy 4/7 and cu 4/7
the cy 5/16 is the 4/7 plus a vowel
