Hi sprite, doing Babble in between looking at the lunar eclipse. So cool!

thanks Lickety
fireflies
Howdy folks. Got up to see lunar eclipse and now awake
did you see it?
I was able to see it in No California. The clouds cleared!
Yeah, it looks cool. I think it was max about 15 min ago and is over a 6 hour event.
too cloudy up here
I just came back inside about 3 minutes ago and there was still no light showing.
It didn’t look total yet to me but it should have been
I got some pics. Was going to try to put one here but they are pretty grainy.
You would have thought meme would be allowed in this day and age
It would be, but this wordlist hasn’t been updated since like 2000 and doesn’t include internet and any related words.
hello all
I will always try rehome even if I know it's not accepted
ha, i tried that also mael
guess, no one has brought a pet to a shelter
I feel like that one was a normal word even 20 years ago, enable has no excuse
I'm finding this grid pretty miserable, not going to lie
You would be surprised what were not commonly known words 20 years ago.

You're welcome phae
idk if i agree with ruru that it's not too bad lol
based on the first row
the W is alright tho
phantom: merman
oh! the oo6-loo7 count!
I can't believe I found the oo6/7 before it was clued lol
:D
(hands mael an accordian)
phantoms: inion, onion, anion
my phantom is shampoo
anyone have the right-hand O?
nope
*Hands mael a tuba, for that is the sound a tuba makes, not an accordian
just for the record, it's spelled accordion
Just for the record, the right o sounds like crying vegetable
it took all the self-restraint i had not to correct the first instance, but two is just beyond my control
Sort of
thanks molly
I also sat on my hands lol
but accordians are part of that music
*Laughs at "restraint" for spelling corrections. The nuns would love you guys
oops
accordion
excuse me
i don't really understand why we correct children's spelling, but then as soon as you become an adult, somehow it's magically off-limits
there is one word I will misspell until I die and it's lavender
I spell it lavander every single time
Maybe because correcting children is educational and correcting adults is interpreted as rude
really? for me it's lavendar that's tempting, on account of Miss Lavendar Lewis from the second Anne book
really? for me it's lavendar that's tempting, on account of Miss Lavendar Lewis from the second Anne book
yes but that's basically my question Molly - WHY is it interpreted as rude
it's spelled lavanda in Italian so my brain will never grok it
why do we act as if education ends?
happy friday all
happy friday mool
Correcting the spelling of an adult comes off as know it all-ness
tx hursh, hope it's going well for you
I think it's equivalent to telling someone they have spinach in their teeth, done politely it shouldn't be an issue
i like that mael
it's going alright mool, how about you?
but obviously politeness and tone is key, you shouldn't be embarrassing anyone
now that i found out i'm slightly on the spectrum, i'm pretty sure this is one of those social conventions that neurotypical people have that doesn't make sense to neurodivergent pepole (not the politeness part, just the people who think that it shouldn't be done at all)
general you, not you you Hursh :)
better than fair so far :)
i know :)
oh, I found the me6 lol
hi all.
*Loves the misspelling of people in the explanation about correcting spelling
there's a difference between misspelling and a typo, but lol yes
i don't think anyone thinks typos shouldn't be fixed
never fails lol
only unfortunately in the chog there's no way to actually go back and fix them
typos are the bane of my existence
people who don't mind being awake before 7 AM are the bane of mine
I slept in this morning, well I laid in bed late this morning :)
ohhh that's me too then hursh, I'm usually up by 6
Isn't a typo also a misspelling? Technically?
Missing the i words for second column i. Help welcome.
i wouldn't mind people being up before 7 if they didn't then structure the world such that other people have to be too
empanoid - something bearing the shape, appearance or character of an empanada
I slept in, really slept!
typo is an abbreviation for typographical error... i don't think abbreviations count as misspellings
i mean unless you say fanatic every time and not just fan... and who wants to write out ipecacuanha when you can just do ipecac?
pepole is an abbreviation?
you'd have to say telephone every time and never phone
oh, no, of course the actual typo is a misspelling, sorry, i thought you were saying "typo" itself was
I went self contained underwater breathing apparatus diving a few times
but the difference with a typo is that you know the person knows how to spell the word, their fingers just mistyped. and like i said, people don't seem to find it rude when you point out a typo, especially if something is going to be shared - they want those mistakes caught
Okay, I think we have beaten this dead horse enough
now there is another interesting difference. in this case, what you see as beating a dead horse, i just thought was an interesting discussion. :)
I agree with hursh but also FW!
it's interesting you mention that mool - there are new Pyramid episodes coming out, and last night i was watching the first one. they buzzed someone for using the word "flying" when cluing UFO. and i thought gosh so if SCUBA ever comes up people will have to make sure not to say "breathe" - which seems like a lot to expect
I'm off to find some lunch :)
ttfn mael
what? They said flying was not correct?
no, they said flying was like saying part of the answer
so if i was supposed to get you to say "sailing" i wouldn't be allowed to say "sail", obviously.
if i was supposed to get you to say "fireman" i couldn't say "fire" or "man"
i would get buzzed
oh
so like if you were supposed to get someone to say SCUBA, i think it would be challenging to remember what all the words are that that acronym stands for, and not say "breathing". especially since i think a lot of people don't even know it's an acronym to begin with!
underwater would be another trap
yes!
and given that people are racing the clock, those traps are tough to avoid
right
anyone have all the 7s? the ones i have were the same ones called at the flip but the other one doesn't seem to have been mentioned
only have one
5-8-2-2
hmm, interesting, i have 2-4-7-1
obviously i suck at finding 6s
name that proper noun! the Cliffs of Insanity in the Princess Bride are actually the cliffs of ...
anyone done with D? and/or B?
phantom: mimosa
well, i'm down to 10, guess i'll just get the list
well that's ironic
the third 7 is the most normal of the three (no7)

Longtime German green card holder Fabian Schmidt detained for unspecified reasons (and without charges), reportedly mistreated and briefly hospitalized after collapsing, now being held in Donald W. Wyatt detention center: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2025-0\n3-14/green-card-holder-from-new-hampsh\nire-interrogated-at-logan-airport-deta\nined
No non-U.S. citizens should travel to the U.S. at this time - it's unsafe
U.S. rules don't require them to notify anyone when they detain a foreign national, not even embassies
Greetings to Canada from your traumatized neighbors!
Schmidt has a U.S. wife (a cardiologist) and daughter (8 years old). If he didn't have family in the U.S., we probably would know nothing about this.
Boycott Amazon, Target, Nestles and Walmart, and any subsidiaries (Whole Foods!WTH!) until further notice.
Perhaps before jumping to conclusions, you should wait to hear the whole story. We Americans are happy to have Trump after 4 years of the Demented Puppet.
No, WE Americans aren't happy.
Look who's jumping to conclusions.
some americans are happy, because... i can't figure out why, but i think it's because "own them libs" takes top priority over an actual functional and kind society.
820 Girl, we are decidedly not happy. We have a demented racist dictator and we are well informed. Biden ran a good economy. He did not insult and humiliate Zelensky. He didn't go far enough in certain areas, but did not propose building a resort in Gaza. If we are into politics and 820 girl is here, I will be more selective about discussions. I understand there's a little buyer's remorse as the economy plummets.
Definitely my fault for raising the topic here, but since Kamala allegedly lost (I think Musk knew how to buy votes, but that's just a theory) I have been attuned to the awful possibilities.
I know someone who was instructed by his employer to remove anything related to DEI on the company site.
It's like Winston Smith's job in 1984.
Very few will boycott Amazon
I haven't shopped there since Christmas.
I didn't say no one, I said very few.
Thank you Kaplan and BzznBea and Q. I don't want anyone to think that the majority of us are happy with any of this.
Well, I personally am not happy with it, but the majority voted for Trump. And that I will never understand.
A bare majority of those who voted. It was less than 50%. I'll never understand it either. So many reasons to reject him the first time. Doing it again is beyond my capability to understand.
It was enough to win the electoral college and that is all that matters. And that can't be less than 50%
I've read that his approval rating amongst his voters is at an all time low for his handling of the economy. He's made a mess of it and making it worse daily.
He got 49.81%.
I'd love to see the electoral college system disappear.
you and me both reg
I'd also like to see a flat tax for all americans regardless of wealth.
hear hear, ru.
I'd love to see Musk arrested for violating a zillion laws too
That one I'm not so sure about. Tax the rich
Kaplan, we are staying away from walmart as well--even cashed in my WMT shares a week after Trump started his nonsense. Lost $10/share, but now it is almost $20/share down from its pre-Trump high. Glad I got out when I did.
that's the problem reg.. we don't tax the rich, they have lots of ways to avoid paying taxes, including Orange Julius.
a flat tax that ALL pay is the only way to be sure that we are taxing the Rich and they're paying their fair share.
funny that 8201GIRL ("girl") is an 81 year old woman.
funny that 8201GIRL ("girl") is an 81 year old woman.
funnier that I'm repeating myself
And do you talk to yourself, ru?
well.. to be honest.. yes.. it is often better than getting barraged by a maga wingnut.
For sure.
I talk to myself. Sometimes it's the most intelligent talk I have all day.
I could see that.. I guess the same for me..
I'm finished here. Until tomorrow...
Namaste
I have blocked all my "pet MAGA's" in FB. It gets tiring after a while because it is the same thing every time; you hit them with facts, then they either deflect, or resort to schoolyard name calling.
yes.. the name calling goes both ways though in the discussions I've seen.. but deflection is a real great comment as far as I've heard/seen
I have a friend who is religious and very far right.. I told him I refuse to discuss politics with him, because if we did I wouldn't be able to remain friends.
I did win a couple of Bottles of Champagne off him when he bet me Ramaswamy was going to win the nomination.
That was an easy bet
good champagne too I might add :D
Tastes better that way.
too bad he didn't have to pay the tariff on it :D
Our lo
One of our local distilleries is having such a surge in sales that they are hiring twenty more people. In town we have two large distilleries (Segrams and Georgian Bay distillery) and they are just booming. :) one plus out of this whole mess.
If you go to Segrams, and ask nicely, you can pop ick up a nice single malt "wet" barrel. Been a long time since I have made a batch of "swish." :)
Pick up*

Howdy, mool. :)
happy friday crossy
Same to you. :)
tx, glad it finally got here
I am amongst the ranks of the retired now. :) First pension cheque comes at the end of the month. :)
well congrats!
I've still got a bit to go
crossy, I read a fascinating post on facebook from a "Mugsy Margarit", who has a running update post on Canada and Trump -- the poster is Canadian, and it is a clear look at why Canadians are so angry at Trump (and I agree with them.) Anyway, check it out if you like.
Well, nothing gets our elbows up like someone trying to take over our country or alltering the border.
Yes. The poster cites several dates that Trump spoke, and quotes what he said. I'm appalled.
We feel terrible about all of our American friends who are already suffering under his reign.
sanium - a rare material, especially in certain parts of the US :)
Indeed.
this board is dragging on more than a 103 word board should
It is. :(
have 8 left
Just not feeling it today, I suppose. Think I shall watch a few more episodes of Reacher. See you on the flip-side, moolingwa. :)
seeya, enjoy your show
hi moo
Any clues pls for he 6
starts at bottom corner
Trump did get slightly less than 50% of the popular vote (and only barely more than Harris), because the popular vote was split more than 2 ways. But the electoral college vote does not necessarily reflect the popular vote, because each vote from the electoral college represents a different number of voters, meaning that some voters get more say in the outcome. The first time Trump won, he had less of the popular vote than Clinton (46.1% vs 48.2%), but more of the electoral college votes.
