day was good but sleep won't come so I'm back here to possibly find a few words

:) Did I tell you the good news re my ankle? Cast is off, big screw is out, and I am walking! Not very far yet and slowly, but walking! I can walk my dog again.
I don't recall hearing about your ankle problem Sprite, sorry but good luck, hope you are soon able to walk well
thank you! I broke it in february. Had to have surgery to get it fixed. It's been a challenging 2 months. Very grateful for the speedy recovery, which is much sooner than the surgeon expected.
your surgeon must be very happy to hear your good results
he was flabbergasted, lol. Told him this is what you get with reiki and lots of people praying for you.
phantom ending: -ion

sorry wrong box
is there a clue for et6 please?
whats the points value medusa and i'll have a gander at it
et6 18. Thanks
all 1 point letters then
I never know how the points are worked out on words over 4 letters! lol
found it.
e.g 4/4 = total of 4 point 5/18 = 9 points 6/27 =9 points
divide by 1 for 4 letters 2 for 5 letters 3 for 6 letters etc
Ok. Thanks. Have wondered.
give us a clue then for the et 6/18 please
not sure how to clue it! think itis a french word. e + a type of fabric.
or et + liqud for cooking + vowel.
ok ta will work on that premise
and plural for the 7
Then plural for the 7
bbl, better do some uni work
lol. Ok hun. Take care. xx
ta7 32 clue please?
Ta + high letter vowel + to water off soap, reverse last letters
thanks
Yw, now must get to work
ok. xx
If you look at the HELP section at the top of this box, it tells you how points are calculated.
hello friends. back to school again. SO out of it....what do I do here again? lol
Morning, Trif and Molly.
I've been thinking about you and your family, Trif.
thank you bzzn.
its nice to be busy again at work, actually
Hey! I was just texting you to see how it is going today?
Good morning, everyone
hi. I am deep in the concrete bunker right now....lucky to get wifi! lol. I survived everyone saying how sorry they are, which is a miracle. I BARELY slept last night, so I am a fair bit wooly, to be sure
how are you?
Barely slept last night as well. I'm OK.
I knew you would be able to handle it. I had a picture of robert STack getting through the airport in Airplane with all the witnesses and pamphlets and such...that was you this morning!
starting Lord of the Flies with my B block class next period...poor ol' Piggy....
that book is so depressing
I use Survivor and the Hunger Games as a referent, it helps them buy in
Honestly, I know there are "classics", but the reading list for Dylan next year is the same one I had :|
most of the books we read freshman year are a right bummer. We need to throw in a Hitchhikers Guide or something to break it up
Dylan used to love to read...now he hates it because it feels like work
I remember having to read The Scarlet Letter and On the Beach my freshman year...
Oh, and The Jungle...
I have to get to work. I hope the rest of your day is peaceful. Have a good day everyone :)
yours too love

Easter dinner was good Bea. Ham and potato au gratin, brown sugar carrots, asparagus, deviled eggs and home made rolls. How about you?

Hi again, kiddos.
Is that Mr. Judi holding up that big ass rock?
<<<< Yes. Hubby doing his best impression of Sisyphus.
Or Sissy Puss, as I like to say it.
*Wonders how many people are looking up Sisyphus
I actually took a whole semester of Greek mythology and happened to be awake the day we covered that one.
I always liked Greek Mythology.
*** psst - he was like a Greek Atlas ***
Those Greek gods got around.
Did he shrug?
Eventually.
And not for nothing, but Atlas was also Greek.
Fireworks!
Sisyphus, in Greek mythology, the cunning king of Corinth who was punished in Hades by having repeatedly to roll a huge stone up a hill only to have it roll down again as soon as he had brought it to the summit. (Per the Encyclopedia Britannica).
That's all for today, kids. Do your homework and go to bed at a decent hour. Ciao until tomorrow!
to 6/21, pls
How come "realtor" doesn't count a a word?!

oops sorry
why won'r Enable allow realtor-- it's a rea
word?
Libarebel, someone said it’s a trademark name.
hmm.. ty nef-- it's in the "real" dictionary w/ lower case "r"
Oh well...
Well, you’ve been around long enough to know Enable dictionary has it’s own weird rules that we just don’t know. ;-)
Enable s*cks!
You are correct, nef :[]
Yep! (I think that’s part of its’ rules!)
I kept entering it in disbelief...
:D
*Don't look...Lil Monkey peed in the chat* : D
The regular whinging about enable's failure to accept some word or another does get tiresome. Especially as it doesn't matter. If the game accepted your precious word, there would be one more word in the scoresheet, so there's nothing lost by it not accepting it. You know you found it. Pat yourself. The machine doesn't have to validate it for you.
Hello all!
could I have a gentle clue for the ro8 please?
Oh, Tomago, it’s a frustration for many of us; I don’t think it hurts to whine about it every so often, -unless a person blathers about it nonstop. Sometimes it’s a conversation starter, you know?
nm, found the ro7/8
Hi nrkii. Ro8 isa spicy French mayo (which I’ve never seen before).
thanks... monkeys came through for me :)
Good monkeys, nrkii 😉
My point is it's pointless.
My point is it's pointless.
Whinge about the stupid words it requires. But you got realtor, whether the machine required it or not.
No, I do understand that if the word worked, it would just add to the total number of words. I’m sorry it’s tiresome to you.
hiya nef
ty Tom
TY Nef!!!
sarcasm Tom
no sarcasm Nef :)
no apologies required, nef.
Agree Temple Owl!
hiya reb
Hi TO!
trying to finish and get to other business. lousy night, need to check the bookshelf.
Well, we all have opinions about the Enable word list and they are all valid.
or watch the bizarre eastern europena movies my guest has brought.
they are truly strange. and some quite funny.
I wonder who decided on the er/or rules?! Like who decided realtOR and not realtER or teachER and not teachOR?? I wonder these things late at night when I havent found a new word in a while!!
I get that. I wonder why some cultures use fetal, while others use foetal. And why some cultures use check and others use cheque. And why foetal and cheque get underlined in this chat as misspelled.
*Waves at Dee. We miss you!
I thought a lot of that was Americans wisely removing unwanted letters!
Hi Molly-waves back! I do log on every day but sometimes keep my trap shut!!
Hi Deeha. I was waving at VolleyMomDee. We really miss her a lot.
sorry wrong Dee!!
No worries, you get a wave too. : D
right it's 1 o clock and past my bedtime. Goodnight all and good luck
is it Whinging or Whining ?
which one does enable accept :D
I think British is Whinging...
good question ruru
I never heard "whinging" until I started playing this game.
i've heard of Scwhinging :D
I've heard of cringing
and trolling too
impinging or impingeing?
And slinging
Or stinging
English is so weird re: soft "g" & hard "g"...
and, also "weird"-- doesn't obey the "i" before "e" rule...
Maybe that's why it's weird
good point, Molly!
Maybe spell it wceird then
You know what? I don’t really think a lot of it matters much, does it? I went & fixed supper, ate, cleaned up the kitchen, and am now returning to Babble & we still haven’t solved the mysteries of our crazy British/American/Canadian “English†language; but it kept the conversation going, didn’t it?
que? no habla ingles
*giggle*
Howdy Babblers.
hey origami, how's things?
do you do origami or is your name a metaphor or what?
LOL, hurshy! I had thought of commenting about the French & Spanish effects on the language too; but decided against it.
Hi, Orioles! I haven’t seen you here for a while, Nice to see you! :-D
Ori, (dang spellcheck!)
it's funny how there are so many cognates, and yet with english, spanish, and french, "speak", "hablar" and "parler" don't seem at all similar
sometimes even when the english is a germanic word, the french and spanish are still more related
hurshy, that’s *way* over my head. I don’t know nothing about any of that!
(I just know that I don’t know anything about languages; I have a hard enough time with daily “English!â€
Hi Nef. I've been absent and/or lurking.
Yes, Hursh. I do origami! Love it.
cool
ever fold a thousand cranes and make a wish?
I did fold 1000 cranes in memory of my son. I wasn't actually wishing for anything, though.
aw
my i ask what happened to your son? if too painful, just ignore me.
*may i
He had schizophrenia. He died of alcohol poisoning. Drug overdoses are very common with people with that disease. I really didn't expect it, in that he was turning a corner in terms of dealing with his illness - taking his medication, seeing the doctor, asking for help when he needed it.
((((Ori))))
I know you’ve told me before about your son, ori.
mental illness is the worst illness of all. and insurance companies limit payments. horrible horrible horrible.
i am so sorry for you ori. so so sorry.
Thanks guys. Actually in California, there is "parity," And my insurance provided him with needed care. And since he was disabled he was able to stay on my insurance. A blessing.
That is a blessing, ori
hello - anyone here?
Hi, nan.
hi nef
they don't accept "realtor"?
slain
I wondered about that too playw
not going to finish tonight - bye
Earlier someone said that “realtor†is a trademark name.
it is, indeed. i've always found that very weird.
like Teacher (TM) lol
Teacher is trademarked too?
no
i'm saying no other profession is
so it's very weird
Doctor (TM), Author (TM), Actor (TM), no no and no
LOL!
but the actual profession is (real estate) agent
Interesting, dfmch; I didn’t know that either.
in canada and the u.s. at least - it's illegal to claim you're a "realtor" unless you're associated with the association
But then again; it makes sense once I thought about it for a while.
Hi all, just checking my icon pic
