"barnet" is so a word!

It's what you put your titfer on!

5:10 am

*Watches while Sam and Matty speak in secret code

5:46 am

barnet is a capital letter - it comes from Barnet Fair, slang for hair

The Ce 9 is new to me. Mornin, all

7:16 am

Hi IG

Hi, Scrabbler

7:28 am

not sure cockney rhyming slang knew about capital letters. i'm with you Sam

7:30 am

hi, everyone

7:30 am

Hi Deeha and welki.

7:31 am

Welki, I saw a Daphne twin yesterday.

7:32 am

oooh, a cutie! (but if really a twin, badly behaved :)

7:33 am

A couple was walking with 2 spaniels. An English Springer Spaniel, and the Daphne twin. I forget, is she an English Spaniel?

7:33 am

she's an English Cocker

7:34 am

Oh, yes.

7:34 am

Aaawww I grew up with cockers and springers :-)

7:35 am

At this park there is a large dog park, so we saw SO many dogs yesterday. The biggest was a St Bernard named Bruce.

7:35 am

this move is wreaking havoc on my hips and back - this old body is constantly reminding me that i'm not as young as i used to be

7:36 am

bruce! that's a great name!

7:36 am

Oh, no. Ouch.

7:36 am

He looked like a Bruce.

7:36 am

une - must have been an active house :)

7:37 am

There are 3 dog parks within the park. One area is for small and old dogs. One is the main area with dozens of dogs going berzerk. Another is less used and with few dogs.

7:38 am

we don't bring daphne to dog parks - too many irresponsible owners (and also because i don't trust her recall)

7:39 am

Yes, I wonder how many injuries occur due to wild dogs.

7:40 am

lots - i saw lots of cases of injuries (to dogs and humans) when i was working

7:40 am

...which is why many people walk their dogs through the park and skip the dog park.

7:41 am

"but he's not like that" "she's never been aggressive before" "she didn't do it" "he's just a big baby"

7:41 am

We see many unleashed dogs when hiking and worry about aggression.

7:42 am

my sister has a small but aggressive dog, so when unleashed dogs start to approach, she always picks her up, and then people get all offended, "he's very friendly!" and she's like, "ok but my dog ISN'T!"

7:42 am

many people just dont get that, if your dog is off leash, the world is his territory, and that dogs will do what dogs do to protect it. an unrestrained, poorly trained dog is simply a dog, not anyone's pet

7:43 am

That's good for her to be responsible.

7:43 am

your sister is smart, hursh

7:44 am

Once we were hiking down a mountain, in the rain, and a family was looking for their dog in the woods. An unleashed dog in unfamiliar territory is not good.

7:45 am

here, many dogs get lured by coyotes and come to sorry endings

7:45 am

Ugh

7:46 am

i feel awful for the dogs (and cats, who are just hunted by coyotes), not so much for the owners who can't be bothered to properly walk their dogs or ensure their cats stay inside

7:47 am

Yes, I spoke to my neighbor about her outdoor cat killing "my" birds and chipmunks. Her response was to laugh and say, "He doesn't even eat the animals he kills."

7:47 am

yeah cause that somehow helps?

7:48 am

So when he is here visiting I try to shoo him away.

7:49 am

go get yourself a water pistol - hours of cheap entertainment

oops - my weekly free clue

7:50 am

That works, or the hose. I love this cat, a beautiful Siamese, but he is a murderer.

7:50 am

hmm, i'm surprised a ba6/27 i just put in worked. i thought there was only one Ba6!

7:50 am

i have 3 ba6

I was surprised when it worked for me too hursh

7:51 am

LOL! I thought the same, hurshy.

Yes, carla, that makes more sense.

7:52 am

yeah must be baseball or cricket or whatever

Hi Dan

7:52 am

Morning, Dan.

7:52 am

i only know it because my step-dad talked of them during his service with the RAF

7:53 am

hi dan

7:53 am

I passed halfway and must get into town to shop before the store is busy.

7:53 am

Carla, how did the party go?

the way that is allowed or not allowed on words here is completely random

7:53 am

thanks for that info welki!

7:53 am

Multiple boys dressed up for Hallween : D

it was nice, thanks bea

7:54 am

how I know that miss2bit is my kid: yesterday, we scattered my stepfather's ashes at Mount Vernon, and it was a little breezy. Her quote of the day "I got some grandpa on my shoes" :-)

oh my :D

7:55 am

yeah, we both have a hard time being solemn :-)

7:55 am

Yeah, kids always call it like it is.

7:55 am

How precious, Dan.

7:55 am

which 8?

8:02 am

good morning all

8:02 am

B not 8

8:02 am

no not 8, the letter B :D

8:02 am

I have a really weird be7.44

8:02 am

i do have a B8, as it happens...

8:03 am

clue it for us bea?

just found a fish

8:03 am

oh - same here - only have 13 of them so far

8:03 am

Mr. Franklin and most of what you do to a full waste can.

weird one, thx

8:04 am

interesting, wonder if that's contrasting with like conte5?

it's a past participle of be****

8:05 am

very weird!

8:05 am

or rather just very old, presumably, lol

8:07 am

trying to figure out what to do with the waste can besides dump it

8:07 am

it's full so you need to...

when you dump it how is it inside?

8:08 am

woot, now have 30/35 of them

8:08 am

ty - was looking to connect to the y somehow

8:11 am

20 b's now - discovery in small doses :)

8:13 am

23 here

8:16 am

just found 3 noble title words

8:16 am

oh - just have two of them

8:16 am

ooh thanks dan, i had 2 of them but missed the 7

8:17 am

which is dumb since i'm currently re-reading persuasion!

8:17 am

missed the 7 also - ty dan

I had the 7 but missed the 6

brony - this is a real thing in case you don't know - guys who like my little pony

8:23 am

i think i've heard of that, weirdly enough!

8:25 am

does someone have the 9 stats and is it part of a combo?

8:25 am

the announcer on the F1 race just said if anyone could understand what Lewis Hamilton had just said to send him a message and i understood but... there is no actual way to send him a message of course lol

LOL

8:25 am

Not part of a combo. Ce7.72

8:25 am

Ce9/72.....college in Shreveport

8:26 am

turned out that the other commentator had understood anyway so it was not really a problem

8:26 am

there's a college in shreveport? there's a shreveport?

8:27 am

have no idea une

shreveport is in louisiana but I don't know the college

8:27 am

shreveport, louisiana, i've heard of, but hadn't heard of the college

8:27 am

cnan, it is a 100 year celebration

8:27 am

Google it

8:27 am

Good friend is a professor there

8:27 am

sorry other than the ivy league uni's I have no idea about colleges in the states.

I have been to a bowl game in shreveport

8:28 am

it is a 100 year celebration

nan doesn't google

8:28 am

ah - the 100th anniversary :)

8:29 am

Thought you could simply google it

8:29 am

* snap hurshy

I did, thanks, une

8:30 am

I don't google une unless there is no other option.

but nan refuses to simply google things, one of her personal game rules

8:31 am

<shakes my head>

8:31 am

Yes, and it's her privilege to play the game the way she likes. Leave her be, please.

8:31 am

Apart from anything else, her husband is in hospital, so maybe cut her some slack?

I was just stating that was one of her rules, not bullying her.

8:32 am

It comes across as critical, even if you don't mean it.

8:32 am

woot max is out!

well, you're coming across as criticizing me

sorry to hear about your husband, nan. hope he's on the mend soon.

8:33 am

me too carla, but I'm afraid we might be in for a long haul

8:33 am

Yes, I probably am. I just feel annoyed that people feel entitled to poke fun. We all have our ways of doing things, I probably annoy some people, you probably do as well. I just got annoyed for her sake.

ugh

are they allowing you to visit?

8:34 am

I think carla knows that I use this game to keep my brain active in my old age - hence my personal aversion to google If I can solve a clue or puzzle

8:35 am

i think it was the fact that multiple people seemed to be reacting to the non-google preference that caused haz to react, not any particular person :)

8:35 am

Yes, hurshy, you're correct.

8:35 am

yes - he can have one visitor per day. But there has been another outbreak at the hospital, so I don't know how long that will last.

8:36 am

does he have covid, nan, or something else?

8:37 am

no -- fluid surrounding the lungs. They suspect a tumor, but ruling everything else out first.

8:37 am

*hugs*

ditto

8:37 am

ty

8:38 am

Sorry, Nan, didn't know re your avoidance of Google

8:38 am

not a problem une

8:39 am

a lot of players like to google.

8:39 am

i also prefer not to if i can avoid it, but i feel more strongly about it on some days than others, just depends what kind of mood i'm in i guess

I will try to get it first but will google if I can't find it. like this one I knew the beginning and ending but couldn't get it right, so I googled.

8:40 am

in my head if I can figure it out from a clue in the chat it's not "cheating" haha

8:40 am

and don't get me wrong, I go as far as I can and then I list if I have the time. But I definitely don't feel as accomplished when I do :)

yeah, everyone has their personal rules on that, mael

8:41 am

I say as long as it's fun for you, do it however :)

8:41 am

I list when I am tired and can't find any more words on my own or from clues in the chat

8:42 am

Don't have a problem with listing -- still using my brain to solve the grid.

8:43 am

Googling is kind of rote for me -- I worked as a reference librarian years ago mainly on the interlibrary loan desk.

8:44 am

* that was before internet, when we used the world wide university network.

just found Tempe - I was watching a softball game last week and the announcer kept saying tem-PEE instead of how I've always heard it, TEMP-e. just curious if I am pronouncing it wrong my whole life.

8:44 am

is your husband doing any better nan?

8:45 am

still the same ru - awaiting test results

8:45 am

We've been watching the Softball World Series. My mom is a big fan.

nan, when I was working right out of college (pre-google), we would have something trivial come up and our secretary was like, just call the library, they can look it up and tell you. I was like, what??

8:46 am

vent

8:46 am

ooops

We watched the super regional when VT was in it, Bea. :D

8:46 am

anyone else seen the Hepburn/Tracy movie "Desk Set"?

ru, I thought you were just telling nan to vent to us

nope, hurshy

8:48 am

it was about an extremely knowledgable reference library staff feeling threatened by the advent of computers - the computer in that case being of course one of those massive things that take up half a room

lol

8:50 am

Do you know where the movie might befound now Hurshy? Netflix, Apple?

per justwatch.com it is not streaming for free in US but you can rent it from any of them for $3.99

not sure about canada

8:51 am

will have a look for it, ty

4.99 on apple per justwatch.com/ca

8:52 am

it's worth it even just for the gorgeous red coat Katherine Hepburn wears in it

8:53 am

she's one of my "idols" :)

8:53 am

Tracy-Hepburn made great movies together as they did in real life as well

8:53 am

I've seen a lot of their movies, but not Desk Set

I've seen some of her movies but not sure I've ever seen one of theirs together

8:54 am

yeah desk set isn't as well known as like Adam's Rib

8:54 am

40 left - no more than 3 on any tile, nbt but haven't found the 9. back in a bit

8:55 am

i guess i just happened to catch it on Turner Classic Movies or something

oh, maybe I'll see if I can stream it on that

8:55 am

9:11 am

I'

missed opportunities abound

9:11 am

I"m used to it now :D

9:12 am

I think we have learned that at certain times it is best to leave well enough alone :D

9:13 am

yep.. best not to pay attention to it

9:14 am

wise advice...

9:14 am

no prodding allowed

9:15 am

9:30 am

bye carla....

9:31 am

did I miss hokie being rude?

9:31 am

no, not really

9:33 am

sometimes it's hard to joke around with people here without someone finding that offensive (even when the joke wasn't directed to them)...some people are just more sensitive, I guess....

9:34 am

very true pen

9:34 am

*wondering if my comment offended someone*... :o|

9:35 am

well you did use hard which doesn't go over well here in general

11:44 am

hi all...just starting this grid. How's everyone today?

11:44 am

there's a ba 7 i was shocked took

11:45 am

Plodding. Hope you are better!

11:45 am

11:45 am

I have a ba7 that I randomly tried too

11:45 am

joy!

11:45 am

Plodding through the grid, or through your day, zooz?

Hey carla!

11:45 am

Life, Joy.

11:46 am

I have two BA7s

11:47 am

11:47 am

nm, I do too

11:48 am

my baby is graduating high school on Fri, joy. time flies.

11:48 am

Sigh.

11:49 am

graduating high school is harder, because then they often leave home. I will be very sad when that happens.

11:49 am

Good Afternoon Everyone

11:50 am

Hello, Christa

11:50 am

yep, the oldest is going to college nearby but we see him less than if he went away

11:50 am

11:55 am

there's a poltergeist in this grid...

11:55 am

not your average phantom?

11:56 am

nope, not a phantom, although I'm sure there are some phantoms.

11:56 am

that was a clue for Harry Potter fans

11:58 am

Wow, I just got to the Bs. 35!

Ty for clues.

12:38 pm

Now i just need to get half way.

6:01 pm

just popped in for my last 7.

6:02 pm

go, champ!

6:02 pm

Go champ!’

2 T's left here, a 6 and a 7.

6:04 pm

47 here....

6:05 pm

i may be too tired to wait much longer to list....

yeah, i had reached the point of finding nothing new, and of course I should have seen most of them

6:06 pm

yes....had a tennis lesson today, drove to the water to eat...and it's been pretty hot here....zapped energy-wise...

I could fall asleep right now.

I need to get back into tennis.

6:07 pm

great, lifetime sport...

think I'm going to have to look up the last 2

6:08 pm

there was a study reported in the NY times a few years ago....tennis players lived 7 years or so longer than people playing other sports....

our pro left and I heard the new guy wasn't very good and was hard to get in with

6:09 pm

bummer.....our pros are great....one was in the top ten of tennis coaches in the country....pretty good for a facility located in a town of a few thousand people....

I also lost the competitive desire to play against the snooty women in the leagues. Would love to just play for fun but everyone already has their little groups for that outside of the leagues.

6:11 pm

that's too bad....we are lucky here to have a lot of people who are fun to play with....

mr. homie wants to get into pickleball. we play in campgrounds when we can but haven't at home for some reason.

6:12 pm

pickleball is fun.....very popular here....

it is fun, but we have only played singles. I know there's some weird scoring stuff with doubles.

6:13 pm

yes, but doubles is more fun, I think....

6:13 pm

our tennis facility sets up pickleball courts regularly....always a good turnout...

yes, I think it is

was just talking to some neighbors about how we wish they'd make our 2 hard courts into pickleball courts

6:18 pm

hi again. I'm preparing for a class I'm teaching tomorrow and only have time to pop in for a few minutes here and there. Not how I intended to spend this nice Sunday.

6:19 pm

you can just get a pickleball net and some chalk or tape to make the tennis court a pickleball court....our pickleball lines are painted onto the tennis courts...

just looked up to6/18. I swear I tried that multiple times and it kept saying not a word. so weird.

6:19 pm

wb, joy...

rehi joy

we have had rain and storms for the last few hours

6:20 pm

why do people like pickleball so much? I've never played it.

6:20 pm

it's pretty easy to play and it's very social....

6:20 pm

not easy to play well, but easy to play...

6:21 pm

so, easier than badminton?

6:21 pm

more active, i think.....faster pace...

6:22 pm

it's very noisy....

well, doubles is a lot less movement than tennis so it's good when you get old and broken

and I hit forehands better in pickleball for some reason

6:22 pm

hmmm, that sounds like it could be for me. Tennis is way too active, and badminton IMO is kinda dull

6:24 pm

it's very popular....and definitely there are different levels of play...

6:25 pm

does the BE 7 start with the four letter word before it?

6:31 pm

I've got 150 words and I'm going to list, or I'll be still doing this at the flip.

6:31 pm

i listed at 42, I think.....didn't have the patience to continue....found that several words I thought I had entered weren't there...

the be7 is a past participle of to name something

ends in "I find you in cont***** of court!"

6:36 pm

that be7 is a bablet

6:37 pm

just listed and already I'm stuck on the AC7. A small hint, anyone?

nail polish remover

6:37 pm

related to alcohol...

6:38 pm

not finding a be 7 babblet...

6:39 pm

morning everyone

6:39 pm

hi rose...

6:39 pm

be7. bell in london big be* + most of not full

6:40 pm

i don't remember ever seeing that word...ty, rose...

6:40 pm

yw pen

6:44 pm

just popped in really. so very tired. had a bad night. this bicep tendon is still giving me grief. every time i moved in my sleep the pain woke me up. i think the GP is going to have to order another injection into it.

6:45 pm

sorry to hear that....hope you can find some relief...

I had bicep tendonitis for a while, had several injections and later surgery, but they didn't have to detach and reattach like they were planning. hope yours gets better soon.

6:47 pm

amputation sounds good, at the neck. loll...and i think with todays numbers this lockdown s going to be extended again. people just will NOT stay still. i know our numbers are low compared to the USofA but it's quite frightening.

6:48 pm

thanx Carla. yes, surgery. not an option i want to follow but if i have to, well then i have to do so.

mine had turned into "frozen shoulder", so they busted it up as best they could and then I had to do PT and move it as much as possible so it wouldn't freeze back.

6:51 pm

oh dear Carla. well i do have to give thanx that that hasn't happened. probably because i will not allow the injury stop me from doing things. have had one frozen shoulder years ago. it took a surgeon who prided himself of fast work 2 1/2 hours to clean out my shoulder joint.

yeah, I had a partial labrum tear and a bone spur too, so I had stopped playing tennis and stuff so I didn't tear it more. eventually the injections stopped helping at all and it was just too painful.

6:53 pm

years ago i had seven and a half months of PT for a frozen shoulder...

they think now thatfrozen shoulder is like a 2 year cycle so it would go away on its own eventually, which my mom's appears to have.

6:55 pm

mine went away almost completely with the PT....went back to playing tennis after that...

6:56 pm

that's interesting Carla. and i know Pen. p/t is an on-going thing for me. oh, and the good news is, my p/t has passed me along to her colleague who is a hydrotherapist. once this current cv situation resolves i am back in the pool

6:56 pm

can someone please clue the VE 7?

6:57 pm

Ba7/36 please?

6:57 pm

nice, rose....

6:58 pm

*giggle* reminds me of an old joke. patient after having had hand surgery, asks surgeon... will i be able to play the violin now? and the surgeon says.. of course. and the patient says... good. because i have never been able to before.

6:59 pm

ha....i remember that...

6:59 pm

Pen ve8s day, when you remember those who have died.

6:59 pm

duh...ty....

7:00 pm

only two words left....both en words...

7:00 pm

une, put most of fish catching tool after a rank of nobility

I always heard it as piano, but a classic joke nonetheless

7:03 pm

en 6/24 anyone?

7:04 pm

en6. en + dress?

7:05 pm

ty...two ordinary words in a row that i missed...

7:05 pm

i am done...

7:05 pm

WTG PENGUIS !!

7:06 pm

tyvm....

7:06 pm

*eye roll* PENQUIS....LOLL

7:07 pm

i have always wanted to know. why penquis?

7:07 pm

It is the name of an area i used to live in....between the Penobscot and Piscataquis region.....hence Penquis....

7:08 pm

should have said rivers, not region....two rivers...

7:08 pm

ahhh. i see the connection now.

7:08 pm

Penquis region.....

7:09 pm

very clever

7:09 pm

well i did not make it up...lol....

are you saying it's a portmanteau?

7:10 pm

guess so.....that term always confuses me....i think of it as a type of closet or bureau....

7:12 pm

i guess it's more of a bag or trunk for clothes....makes sense because it literally seems to mean coat carry...

7:13 pm

the other definition is the combining of two words to make a new one, like motel motor hotel) and brunch breakfast and lunch)

oh, I never heard the closet def

but I like to use it here whenever possible. it's kind of a game to see when I can work it in.

7:15 pm

hah!

7:15 pm

lol... nice Carla.

7:16 pm

i don't recall ever seeing the be 7 word here....do either of you?

oh, the ex. merriam webster used was smog=smoke/fog

no, new to me

7:16 pm

someone referred to it as a babblet....i think people define babblet in more than one way here....

7:17 pm

my definition is an odd word that is seen pretty often in Babble....

7:19 pm

I forgot to thank someone before for the AC7 hint. That helped.

7:19 pm

good....glad it was helpful....

7:19 pm

well i didn't know that. it was Lewis Carroll who introduced the word in the literary sense in Alice. when humpty dumpty is explaining to Alice the meanings of the words in Jabberwocky.

joy called it a babblet but I'm not sure why

7:20 pm

ah yes...how do you define babblet?

7:20 pm

as to the be7 word. never seen it before. i had to look up the meaning.

7:21 pm

yes, i did, too....

7:21 pm

it's archaic...

7:21 pm

I define babblet as a word you'd probably never see outside of Babble. The BE7 struck me that way.

I think of a babblet as a common word here (usually 4 or 5 letters, which makes it happen in the grid more) that you would never know otherwise.

7:21 pm

a little like me... except i don't go back that far...loll

7:21 pm

lol....

7:22 pm

your definition, hokie is similar to mine....guess the definition varies among members...

7:22 pm

I will bow to your superior definitional ability and refrain from describing BE7 as a babblet in the future. I'll just say it's "strange."

7:23 pm

at least one of my kids didn't ask me if i wore a bustle when i was a little girl, like i asked my mother.

7:23 pm

no offence, joy....i was just curious....

7:24 pm

Especially since penquis agrees with you, and her icon is a lobster, and I love lobster. How's that for logic?

7:24 pm

but isn't a babblet a little brook, babbling along?

7:24 pm

No, I'm actually serious. Your definition is better than mine.

it's all good, joy.

7:24 pm

roflol, Joy. love it. perfect.

7:25 pm

and does my definition make us all wet behind the ears?

7:25 pm

dictionary.com has no definition of babblet...

LOL

7:25 pm

well i am heading out....goodnight all....

it was coined here so I wouldn't think so

7:26 pm
