Hi all. Does the an10 start with the 'against' prefix?
indeed it does
OK, looking! D'ya reckon it's a word I would use often?
not regularly , but it's not obscure either matty
Ookay. I shall keep searching :)
keep swimming against the current !
Thankee kindly!

Good morning, everyone.
Top o' the morning to you, Bea.
I have to demat my dog all the time. guess it's not real.
Hey Bea :-)

Anyone here?
I do not like this grid. Not in a box Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse. I do not like this grid.
but I do like Dr. Seuss
:)
Haha.

Hi Owl. I have slowed down after 55 words.
scrabbler. it hoguht of you yesterday. was in Jim Thirpe and took train ride through lehigh river gorge. great hiking and biking.
soory, typos. jim Thorpe
Does the Appalachian Trail do through there?
i don't know.
the website says the trail runs along the souther poconos. Jim Thirpe is in the poconos and it's in the south but nothinng says it definitely. it crosses at the DE water gap, not sure where it progresses
I checked a map. The AT is east and goes through the Lehigh River Gap.
then that's it! we went to a dance at the museum/ old ballroom.
i was inspired to return to hike. . but in town, the steep hills are daunting. i walked them, though.
Climbing steep hills and mountains suck.
the incline bike trail is lower, sinc eit ascends over 26 miles
they closed the trail to the biggest waterfall. too many accidents, many fatal.
Hiyas, kiddos.
hello
Hey, judi.
gtg, need to get ready for pump class.

a person who takes leisure
ty
there is an in4?
yep
morning all! baffled by the 10 can't see what it's against
aaand peri
it's magic :)
oh my. this grid must by very subtle. i typed in a word that was accepted and took me 10 minutes to actually FIND it afterwards. and now a 4... :/
that in4 is a babblet we have a lot, if that's what you're looking for... but you have to go UP
inch
i immeditaely typed in the dolphin. no dice.
that's a real word not a babblet lol
haha
yeah no a different one than the dolphin
(inch, i meant, is the real word, not the dolphin)
i need the brain training to find it. like i typed in the ne4 and took me 10 minuts to SEE IT
like unci
into inti inro inns :/ :)
like i said - you have to go UP
found it ty
you said it you said it
i am SURE i typed that in. sometimes that happens, the program - or my notebook - does not respond.
mhm
i was babbling and was late for the gym and blew it off. not a good way to begin the week.
oops i think the washer stopped, must run and hang the laundry. bbs
you went to the gym - that's a good way to begin the week! do you know how many people intend to exercise and don't?
a person who take leisure? not getting it
It starts like a word for leisure and ends with picnic pest. The actual meaning is coward.
and here was me thinking what i said was the actual meaning!
go it
i am the luckiest person in the world
I would have thought that was the meaning too, Hursh. I had to look it up to be sure.
Did you win the big lottery, Hursh?
well, in a way, lol
you see this kitten in my profile pic?
she likes to suckle on a hoodie string while laying on my chest and purring. it is the most wonderful lovely thing.
how adorable!
she is a grown up sophisticated lady cat now, but due to her early circumstances, she is petite and still looks relatively kitteny
we regularly debate whether she is a darling baby roo or a grown up sophisticated lady cat
when she's suckling, i feel that my side is clearly winning
and thank you, seain :D
ok so bonkler said the 10 is against something
yay, got it!
what IS it about this grid? words are hiding so well
yeah it's a little hard
did you get de7 the french word for last
ti6 that rhymes with a p word for poking a hole with something sharp
which can have a past tense too
um are those things related - the 10 and the french word?
no
just picking out things i thought people might miss
did you want a hint for the 10?
pls
the pennsylvania dutch are an10
ty i did not know def of the ti though i did know that it is a word
yeah i don't know the def of the ti either, that's why i clued a rhyme for it lol
apparently it's a an old measure of capacity equivalent to one third of a pipe, or 42 wine gallons, or a cask holding this much
hurshy, don't understand what the Amish are
well, they are against using ......... things
not mechanical
things which are too new
too hip
too cutting-edge
too space age
ludite?
yes, luddites are also an10!
got it, ty hurshy
i suppose they wouldn't like the style of furniture that we call mid-century __________
oh good
i was running out of ideas
I was thinking of that movie Thoroughly ____ MIllie, but it is pretty old and somewhat unknown.
one of my childhood friends had that movie on tape and we used to watch it from time to time at her house
tap, tap, tap tap tapioca
Ah, Hurshy knows it. I do, but I was pretty much of a Julie Andrews junkie back in the day.
i like the tap dancing to make the elevator go
an old french penny is another 7 !
i now have passed the halfway point for 7s
but only have 1/3 of the 8s
anyone want to pool 8s ?
i have cr, mo, and re

There are 2 un8. One 55 and one 50. Both not something.
i've tried so many plausible things... sigh
thanks molly found it right away
oho got the 8/50
yay and the 55!
clue for un 8/55 pls?
i don't suppose we'd be lucky enough that the na is a compound word...?
un8/55 so far the accusations are un8 by the alleged embezzler
if he didn't do it, why doesn't he say so?!
ty hurshy 2nd clue got it for me

i was watcing various interviews about harvey weinstein yesterday. this interviewer asked emma thompson if she thought there were more guys like that in hollywood and she said there were tons, and the interviewer said, "as bad as that?" and emma was like, does it have to be as bad as that to count? and i thought that was a good response.
Break time...45 left...

howdy ru
♪She works...oh wait, the lyrics to that song are probably censored here now...sorry
Geeeez Loooouise, How long are you going to milk this? I objected to the words 'pussy rubbing'
PERIOD. End of story. Find someone else to bully around.
Good for you Helen
Before I go, I dedicate ta6.21 to the memory of FMitch - poof
that's the only ta I don't have!
just saw it but not sure how it relates
golly .. a bit sensitive there HK? There are other censors of the chat besides you.. don't take everything so personally and relax a little..
I think it's this grid.. it's got everyone upset.. it's a toughie
horrible, I just had to look up a 4
i'm befuddled on this one.. and can't find anything now
I had 15 left and just started looking stuff up.it's pretty horrible for a 200+ grid.
just found one without looking it up! 10 left now.
is na7/8 1) related and 2) words I should know
it's reassuring to know that I can blame the grid for my ill feelings.
the grid is making us or8 (and yes, I just looked that one up)
Doren - LOL. Yes, I suppose you're right. I've seen other people make their preferences known also. It's just that it's the ONLY thing I've every had cause to say something about. Mountain outta a molehill kind of thing. And it's just overall annoying, like a broken record. Thanks sweetie, I'll remember your wise words. Hugs.
Well, I feel that since the censors are out, this just isn't the place it used to be. Everyone seems to be afraid to laugh, joke and have a good time for fear they will end up on some list somewhere...
hear, hear, Bea.
Agreed Bzzz. This isn't the place it used to be. No one ever took pot shots at people outta the blue like they do now. It used to be a much more civilized, fun chat.
not really hk.. there were lots of bickering in the past
Not when I used to chat a lot.
off-topic but on-topic, can someone help with re8? I can't even find it looking it up.
Is that you on the grassy knoll, ru?
LOL BZZ Yes
re8 is a coward
sounds like someone doing RV-ing
there are hundreds of incidences with BR, 0-0, The Byzantine, etc HK where i
he
where he picked fights with just about everyone
but he's OK because he has "issues" according to some players...even though he stalked (FOR REAL) some people here.. he gets the free pass like in Monopoly
thanks, these fireworks are way too enthusiastic
Yes, I remember Babble Rabble. But he was the only one. And everyone stood up to him, that's why he changed his name. Now, here, it's like the majority are like BR.
sorry about the broken up chat
Ru - that's nothing to apologize for.
no.. that's an exaggeration hk.. it's not that bad..
i had to laugh the other day when someone said "children" play this game and we should not chat like adults.. the children who generally come here are trolls and swear and cuss more than all of us combined
Okay ru - you view, my view differ. Most players who used to be big chatters I never see here anymore, but they're still Babbling.
no one is stopping them from chatting.. that's just their choice. it is funny that they pop in and chat and proclaim that they never chat anymore because of certain people.. it's just silly.. that's my view
I really rather recent that statement, hk. Your opinion, I knw, but...
Ru - Well, that's just crazy. Kids love it when you treat them like adults. I also have zero issues with cussing. Children do play this game.
Bzzzzz - what exactly do you resent? 'But' what? I have no idea what you're referring to.
I agree, if you don't like the chat, don't chat. I think the iron sudoku chat is just annoying. "start" "stop" - people just showing off how fast they can solve it, no one really interacting, so I just ignore it.
i don't think many people stood up to BR HK? I don't remember it that way.. several people like Lynnx and Haz and others gave him a big pass, because of his issues
i think Dr. G kicked him out for a bit because of his overly abusive nature and attacks in the chat.
I'm referring to your statement that the majority of players being like BR. And the "bu"t means, that is your opinion and I happen to disagree.
that must've been during my hiatus. don't remember that
hc - Sudoku is a whole different world. And it is definitely NOT showing off - the starts & dones. DrG once asked me why I wanted the clock to go to seconds - and I told him, honestly, that I want to race MYSELF - not anyone else. No one who times themselves cares about anyone else's time. It's a competition with oneself.
maybe for you, not sure everyone there feels that way
and cussing .. i really try not to cuss here.. it happens occasionally. it's not a big deal to me either
hc - Since you don't chat, I'll do it for you. Take a poll. I haven't done today's puzzle yet. But pretty sure most people just play themselves, that's how we competitive people are - striving to always do better. That crowd on Sudoku is not a 'show off' crowd in my eyes.
Everyone is welcome to re-read the chat during BR's time here. I'm clear on many players standing up to him.
I really haven't been playing it lately. but my teenage son saw me playing a couple of times and thinks the same thing.
hc - yes, sure, cause that's how teenagers think. They haven't learned to compete against themselves yet.
dr g...
i don't remember too many people standing up to BR besides me. I was his favorite whipping boy
Helen Keller, you could be right. I don't have time to read over years worth of chat archives. What I remember is that Ru was one of the few people who stood up to BR and he often got taken to task for that.
I have 12 left and just don't have the stomach to stay and finish...See you soon, Molly and Ru. XO
tr6/18.....clueplease
lucky you bea.. i am struggling with this sucker
Moll - I don't remember you at all - being on the chat. Even ru's name is only vaguely familiar to me.
aeb, it's in here a lot. chemistry, starts with three prefix, chemical compound ending
ty....got it hokie :)
Oh, I'm glad you got it from that. :D
i started this game a year and a half after you HK.. it's not like i'm a new player :D
have i mentioned how much i hate this grid yet?
are you getting or8?
i'm getting cranky for sure
ta6/21 ? I'm going thru my list and picking up words I have left out.....clue please
a madagascar weasel like creature
ru - You can't go by that date. There were quite a few people who did not go pro for a few years. I was one of those.
i can't remember my trial dates.. but i also was around without going pro for a bit. maybe june of 07.. still that's more than a decade of Ruru Hilarity
:D
I also didn't chat when I first started. I do remember when I first began chatting that stiddy was the first one to e-mail me. This was well before Facebook.
I started playing before pro was an option. I just assumed the date that shows is the date you set up an account. didn't realize it was not.
ruru....all I can find is tenrec(weasel like creature) Morehelp please
that's it.. just spell it slightly differently there are two spellings
right word, alt spelling
this is for the ta6/21?
yes, so that gives away which letter you need to change
no the ta6/21 is what you asked for
got it by gosh ty ruru.
deceit
sooo sorry
i rarely do that
hc - No, you are correct. The date shown on your profile is when you went pro. That's when you set up your account.
this chat brings back memories
Reading this chat makes me think of so many Babblers that are no longer with us. :(
yes, my thoughts too
There are so many now :(
well.. we mostly are all pretty old :D
There were also a few scams over the years.
I am old, but I only feel pretty old
hc - lol. My problem as well. :)
i was born old
i try to be young at heart
*just had a mind blowing thought*
which is?
what if Fitzgerald's benjamin button concept is meant to represent how people feel on the inside
dunno.. all i know is i wish i looked like Brad Pitt
mhm, i wouldn't mind being a bit prettier myself, lol
of course, then you could have that whole problem where you don't know if someone likes you for who you really are, or just for your looks
i'd put up with it :D
I have never thought of myself as handsome or ugly. Some people in the past have said I am a handsome chap and some have said I was not a good looker also.
My mother on the other hand thinks I am the best looking guy in the world..Apart from her husband of course lol
I'm very plain looking actually.. my brother was very handsome.. he got the looks and I got the brains :D
I got the brains too the thing is with me my brain is not very good LOL

help with re8 pls

ty looking
ty thesnark
Sorry to have missed the earlier conversation re good looks & being old. Several years ago, when I was several years younger than I am now, I was in a bar. I became aware of a man staring intently at me. Eventually he came over & said ‘I bet you were really good-looking when you were young’. I started to thank him, till the penny dropped. Not only was he saying I wasn’t young anymore, he was also saying I wasn’t good-looking anymore. Talk about a double whammy! 🤣🤣🤣
If that was an attempt at a pick up line, he failed miserably!
He was lucky to escape with his ‘bits’ intact!!
did you ask him if he was born an ahole or was he a self made man?
lol
