1:15 am

debbinla

yes sprite - how are you?

1:16 am

sprite

Thanks for asking :)
It did go as well as it could. Beautiful service, very much in line with my friend's character. It is very sad to loose a friend this way, so early, but it is good to see how many people are there to support eachother in coping with the loss.

1:16 am

1:31 am

Bloo

such a simple concept ARB, but one many people fail to embrace

1:31 am

sprite

I was once rebuffed for doing so by a Jewish acquaintance of mine, so I was a bit afraid to do so.
So... Happy Newyear to ARB and debbs, may there be peace and joy in the year to come *hugs*

1:32 am

1:32 am

tazpink

ankh what type of rescue are u wating for

1:32 am

Ankhorite

One of my med techs is Muslim and he was so grateful that I wished him a nice Ramadan last year, tears came to his eyes. Not an easy time to be Muslim here, I guess.

1:34 am

MVA

hi blaze

1:34 am

sprite

No, really, Ankh, I think that is very hard at the moment. I enjoy, or should say love, being with all kinds of people and believes, I feel we can enrich eachother. And what is religion about anyway if there cannot be love and respect between people?

1:34 am

Ankhorite

I'll vote for you ARB!

1:34 am

jillibus

ARB, you are so on the right track!

A friend of ours has a dog that is called Rh4. That's how I remember :)

1:59 am

It certainly qualifies for a babblet.

Night muse :)

2:02 am

night muse!

2:03 am

Ankhorite

El, I agree with you about hexation. In fact, we need that word to use as a consequence of vexation.

2:03 am

jillibus

I thought the rh4 was a bird - just looked it up and it is - like a small ostrich. It's also the ramie fibre.

2:03 am

FranMag

i was just wondering that myself jilli!

2:04 am

jillibus

It's also in mythology - a Titan -- hence the dog's name, maybe

2:04 am

sprite

Hey, I did not know that. Thanks jilli! I will tell my friend about her dog's name, that she called it after a tiny bird... it is a Berner Senner :)

2:05 am

Ankhorite

Yeah, the one who gave birth to all the gods. But not Gaia, the other one.

2:05 am

its still not a *small* bird, Spritey ... just smaller than an ostrich :P and hi :)

2:09 am

Ankhorite

Oh, Sprite, I'm a dodo -- she's what we call a Bernese Mountain Dog here, in AKC parlance.

2:09 am

sprite

*hug* Ankh, you will find the perfect one for you... or she/he will find you.

2:09 am

jillibus

just what I was thinking, ankh!

2:10 am

Ankhorite

Txs, sprite, jilli... er, that is, I hope you were thinking my dog will show up, not agreeing that I am indeed a dodo.

2:11 am

sprite

LOL! Nah, you look anything but extinct to me.

2:12 am

Ankhorite

Heh! Well, not tonight, at least.

2:13 am

Ankhorite

Heh... my phantom is phantom. Anybody got the 10?

2:13 am

2:13 am

An10 builds on an5/20.

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

i got the 10 - it is an extension of the an 5/20 preceding

2:14 am

the 10 is what Hilter did to other countries

Jilli, make fun of me ... I got it in German first.

2:18 am

melonheadjujube

hi, jilli and anyone i missed

2:19 am

ARB

Fairly easy -- had to drink a little though -- hot and dry here yesterday.

2:20 am

Ankhorite

Melon, ARB, if it's not too rude to ask, do you find the fast effective, spiritually speaking?

2:20 am

Ankhorite

If it's too rude, just ignore me.

2:21 am

melonheadjujube

we had perfect weather - mid 60s. you would have loved what i prepared to break the fast - semolin/farmer cheese pancakes with blueberries & sour cream - way, way easier than blintzes.

2:22 am

melonheadjujube

yes, ankhorite. I think it matters that i do it with a congregation. basically except for sleeping at night and a 2 hour break in the afternoon, i'm in synagogue. the idea is to not interrupt prayer to meet bodily needs. The last 2 hours can be tough; i'm very careful to wean off caffeine a few days in advance.

2:23 am

ARB

It's not rude -- It is traditional; it brings me in touch with my grandparents; there is a sense of achievement in overcoming appetite. And sometimes it is very distracting. I think it changes from person to person, as well as from hour to hour within the person. Being in a synagogue helps.

2:23 am

melonheadjujube

it's not rude at all ankh

2:23 am

Ankhorite

Oooh, I wouldn't have thought of that. Well, yeah, it is rude, but you're good sports about it. :)

2:24 am

melonheadjujube

no it is not! my yes was, yes you may ask. :)

2:24 am

sprite

Perhaps we should ask eachother this kind of question more often. It is so good to hear people tell about how they experience traditions like these. Thanks for sharing :)

2:24 am

ARB

Sprite, you are an angel, not a sprite!

2:25 am

melonheadjujube

ARB, for me, when I hear the shofar, i think this is the sound my grandparents, great-grandparents, and on back heard - the exact same sound.

2:25 am

sprite

Lol, see my icon... an angel with a bite and a sting, I fear ;)

2:26 am

melonheadjujube

this is the nicest, safest chatroom, i must say.

2:26 am

Ankhorite

I have friends who are in a tradition where one withdraws to fast in solitude, and they say that works for them. But I'm more familiar with group vigils (though not so much with the fasting, since Vatican II eased up on that somewhat), and I know that, as you two have just said, they are made special, more intense, for being shared. Oh, Melon, what a thought! That certainly would make one feel...complete. At home. In place. Hmm, apparently the grid isn't the only place I grope for words..

2:26 am

ARB

Right on, Melon. And when I complain about being hungry, I can hear my gramma complaining in Yiddish.

2:26 am

ARB

Melon, I have never and would never chat anywhere else.

2:27 am

melonheadjujube

indeed, ARB, i agree.

2:27 am

sprite

I second that, melon!

2:27 am

2:36 am

ARB

toda, Sprite. (Toda == thank you in Hebrew)

2:36 am

sprite

And how do I say "you're very welcome"?

2:37 am

Atalante

ARB - could you write these Hebrew phrases down in Babanon or somewhere? I'd love to remember them but I need to see them somewhere where they don't disappear on the chat log!

2:37 am

sprite

taz, do you have sp7/32 or sp7/36?

2:37 am

tazpink

7.32

2:38 am

chj

anyone got po6/24 after the rhymers

2:38 am

sprite

Sp7/36: s + small road + vowel - plural

2:38 am

jillibus

sp7/32 - put a sp***** in the works (mess things up)

2:39 am

sprite

chj: Po6/24 ends in what is left over after a fire.

2:39 am

ARB

Interestingly, there is no word for you.re welcome. Politely, you say the word for please, as if you are saying "if you please" in response. Or you say "it was nothing", which I really find offensive (coming from myEnglish) -- if you get a thanks for something, why say it was nothing?

2:40 am

chj

thanks sprite

2:40 am

Atalante

self-deprecation!

2:40 am

tazpink

ty much jill sprtie

2:40 am

ARB

Similar to the Spanish, I know.

2:41 am

melonheadjujube

ARb , also true in French"de rien" & "il n'y'a pas de quoi" are "it was nothing" - did you find Israeli manners taking some getting used to?

2:41 am

sprite

That is interesting, ARB. And I agree, it is a silly way to answer one's appreciation. What is the word for please, please?

2:41 am

melonheadjujube

I love the directness.

2:41 am

jillibus

ARB - is there an equivalent to the Brit "don't mention it"?

2:41 am

melonheadjujube

b'vakashah (stepping in for arb)

2:42 am

sprite

thanks :)
So, belatedly: b'vakashah!

2:42 am

tazpink

i need moslty e words o well maybe in the am ty all

2:42 am

Atalante

that sounds more like Klingon!

2:43 am

ARB

Sprite - "b'vakasha" is please. Jilli, it was nothing can also be translated as don't mention it, since the phrase literally is "there is no thing" .

2:44 am

Atalante

are both the b and the v pronounced there? b - vakasha?

2:44 am

ARB

Yes

2:44 am

melonheadjujube

ne8, ne7, sn8, te7 clues please? b'vakashah?

2:45 am

melonheadjujube

perpiacere? s'il vous plait?

2:46 am

sprite

ne8: the act of denying.
ne7: drop one vowel from the 8.
sn8: take my picture and you have one
te7: mixed-up digit from the foot + something to cook in, plural.

2:46 am

ARB

ne 8 -- act of denying. ne 7 is the ne 8 with one less vowel. sn 8 = picture taken by a home camera

2:47 am

ARB

Sprite, you type fast!

2:47 am

sprite

We sing almost in unison, ARB :)

2:47 am

melonheadjujube

Todah RabaH! )thank you very much).

2:48 am

melonheadjujube

what is ne7? the bomb you don't drop?

2:48 am

Atalante

what is the equivalent of "go with God", or similar, the sort of farewell you can give people?

2:48 am

ARB

Shalom -- peace

2:49 am

jillibus

ARB, I don't think "don't mention it" is quite the same as "it was nothing". It says there was something, but fugeddabahdit -- ?

2:49 am

Atalante

wah! the nazi police are allowed!

2:50 am

melonheadjujube

and yet neato isn't!

2:50 am

ARB

Jilli, you're right -- but a lot also depends on the inflection when saying it. It can convey anything from a sense of dismissal to gentle hand waving.

2:50 am

sprite

they are not. never.

2:50 am

jillibus

neither is phaser

2:51 am

melonheadjujube

hmmm, no neato allowed, yet a very recent hip-hop slang is.

Frances

Haz are you there? I have a big problem that you may be able to help with. Please don't laugh - well not too loudly. My kitchen is upstairs and a squirrel came through the window and created havoc - smashing things. I cannot catch it and it has now been in there for 48 hours. I'm at the end of my tether. HELP

3:37 am

Haz1558

Frances, I am here. You would need to call either the RSPCA or your local council - they would usually have some sort of pest control people.

3:37 am

Cat9x

Here in the States Frances, we have wildlife rescue that will come help.

3:37 am

Haz1558

I take it you have left the window open to let it out?

3:38 am

Andree

hard not to laugh Frances

3:38 am

Frances

Haz I've tried that. The council will come out for mice or rats and the RSPCA will come out for other wildlife but neither will come out for squirrels.

3:39 am

Frances

Thanks Andree. Even I can see the fu

3:39 am

Frances

Even I can see the funny side but it is very annoying

3:39 am

Douglas

Hello everyone...

3:39 am

FranMag

hi douglas!

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good grief! Try contacting your local vet for advice, or are there any animal rescue centres nearby?

3:40 am

Andree

it will seem a lot funnier in 6 months when you retell the story over a drink or 2

3:40 am

Frances

Window has been left open day and night

3:40 am

FranMag

i don't suppose you can lure it out with food when it's in the kitchen already.

3:40 am

Cat9x

Francis, try a humane animal trap, bait it with food. Locally here you can borrow them from SPCA.

3:40 am

Andree

hi douglas

3:40 am

Cat9x

Hi Douglas

3:41 am

Andree

maybe it is no longer hungry

3:41 am

Frances

Tried leaving food out. It has gone untouched - must be on a diet!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Our local environmental health department has cat cages which are baited to trap wild cats - try them to see if they would come out to do it, or let you borrow the cage. (I'm not laughing by the way,this must be really annoying!)

3:42 am

Cat9x

Are you sure he is still there Francis, maybe he is ill and thats why he won't come out.

3:42 am

Andree

what happens when you go in the kitchen, does it hide or just run about

3:43 am

Douglas

This grid may be a little difficult, eh?

3:43 am

Andree

we don't have squirrils in Aus

3:43 am

FranMag

it's not bad douglas.

3:44 am

Andree

but possums are real pests

3:44 am

Cat9x

They are cute little creatures! I hand raised one once. A baby that fell from a tree outside.

3:44 am

Frances

Yes def still there. When I go into the kitchen it hides. Looks very healthy. I will try your suggestions re humane traps. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you all.

3:44 am

Good morning Dougas - it's a nice grid, but at the minute we're busy trying to get a squirrel out of Frances' kitchen.

Or, Frances, do you know any fishermen with nets?

3:45 am

Cat9x

Try the trap Frances, I am sure it will work, just make sure the only food available for him is in the trap, he will go to it eventually, good luck!

3:46 am

ARB

I need to get on with "normal" life -- anyone need any help before I sign off?

Thanks all. Isn't it wonderful that there are so many of you out there who are able to offer such good advice. Thanks again. Bye

Yep - I get a great satisfaction from grey squares - but the top left was an R today LOL - nasty things R's.

help with sp6/24 please

5:19 am

sapphie1

been monkying that one for a while andree...no luck so far

5:19 am

Haz1558

sp6/24 - a botanical term. Singular sp4/5 followed by the definite article

5:20 am

Angb

thx haz

5:20 am

Haz1558

It can be pluralised forsp7/36

5:21 am

Angb

I had the plural Haz it seems, but not the singular - doh!

5:21 am

FranMag

thanks haz!

5:21 am

Haz1558

It happens to all of us!

5:22 am

Andree

thx haz, will work on it

5:22 am

Jacula

Hi Haz. Didn't see you there; I was busy typing my 'found on paper' words in. Done that now. Got 98 left to find.

5:23 am

sapphie1

ty haz..got there in the end :D

5:23 am

Jacula

Andree - For sp6 (& plural 7) think of the old news, 'P**** News'.

5:23 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula - I was on earlier, have 63 left to find and am dipping in and out. It's a nice grid.

5:25 am

Jacula

Haz - I think that's what I'll have to do, in between ironing.

5:25 am

sapphie1

95 left...might think about lickety soon

5:26 am

Haz1558

Ironing and babble don't mix, I've discovered. A pity, I like doing both but apparently not together.

5:27 am

Jacula

Haz - You haven't ironed your keyboard??

5:27 am

Jacula

I HA4/5 ironing! Can I send you mine, Haz?:)

5:28 am

Haz1558

What a thought! Melted plastic all over the place..

5:28 am

Jacula

LOL.

5:28 am

Haz1558

You can send me your ironing as long as you haven't left it for ages!

5:29 am

Haz1558

I like washing and ironing but I hate putting the clothes away.

5:30 am

Jacula

Just measured the pile, Haz. It's 1' 10" high. (That's 2 lots.)

5:31 am

Haz1558

That's a lot of ironing!

5:31 am

Jacula

I wonder what it would cost to post that pile to you, given the new postal rates...

5:31 am

Jacula

Haz - It's a normal amount for this household. I have about the same amount drying on the airer, too.

5:32 am

Haz1558

People going past the window would conclude that I've gone mad. I'm sitting estimating what that looks like. Fishermen measure horizontally, I'm measuring vertically.

5:32 am

Jacula

ROFLOL, Haz!

5:33 am

scatty

morning

5:33 am

FranMag

hi scatty

5:34 am

Haz1558

When I was growing up our next door neighbour was, shall we say, less enthusiastic about than my mother. She once asked, in all seriousness, whether my mother was taking in washing for other people, as she couldn't fathom how one family could need so much done.

5:34 am

Jacula

I've just been to see if 'Hunting Cat' wants to come back in and finish his breakfast. He went out to scoff his latest dead mouse in preference to the 'Whiskas' offered. He is now sitting on top of the barbecue... Surely he's not cooking it??

5:35 am

Haz1558

Can you imagine what barbecued mouse is going to smell like?

5:35 am

Jacula

Haz - re. the ironing etc. I'm often heard to exclaim, 'How can one family wear this much stuff? I'm sure the neighbours are sneaking their things in, too!'

5:36 am

Haz1558

My eldest daughter is now teaching P1 and regularly comes home with paint over her clothes. The children get to wear aprons, but not her!

5:37 am

Douglas

A little Greek letter is lurking in the grid...

5:37 am

Jacula

I don't know why cat food manufacturers don't do flavours like 'mulled mouse', 'stewed blackbird' etc. I'm sure the cats would prefer it!

5:38 am

Jacula

Haz - Know what you mean about the paint-spattered clothes. My daughter was an art student.

5:38 am

Jacula

Hi Scatty, Douglas et al.

5:39 am

Jacula

Douglas - Thanks! I hadn't sp**ted that until you mentioned it.

5:40 am

Haz1558

Non-greek scholars are waiting hopefully for a bit more of a hint. You're such a tease, Douglas.

5:41 am

Jacula

Haz - It's an i4/4.

5:41 am

Douglas

"Little" was definitely a hint, as the letter (in lower case, anyway), is the littlest Greek letter, requiring only one stroke of the pen...

5:42 am

Haz1558

Gosh, I never knew it was a greek letter. You live and learn.

5:42 am

Angb

There is also an e - we have a brand of peanut butter and potato chips with this name

5:42 am

FranMag

done!!

5:42 am

Jacula

Well done, Fran!

5:43 am

Angb

Well done Fran - I still have heaps to go. So I've got something to do while eating breakfast tomorrow. Nite all

5:43 am

Haz1558

Well done Fran!

5:43 am

FranMag

night angb!

5:44 am

Jacula

Angb - I'd got the 'e', but you made me look over there again and I found the Sicilian volcano & plural.

5:44 am

Jacula

'Night Angb.

5:44 am

metaleather

There, after much searching and dithering about I've made a selection

5:44 am

Douglas

I'm halfway to halfway, but out of ideas. Time to break out the list and the monkeys!

5:44 am

Haz1558

Greek letter but no Greek cheese. It's been gone for a long time.

5:44 am

FranMag

i can't believe i didn't have the volcano until i went to the list!

5:45 am

Jacula

Haz - It was in one of the WebBoggle grids last night.

5:45 am

Jacula

(The cheese, that is.)

5:46 am

Haz1558

And did you leap gratefully upon it, like the cat on the pre-barbecued mouse?

5:46 am

Jacula

Yup! I still can't find out who my team mates in there are... one plays as 'team babble' and the other as 'Team Babble'.

5:47 am

FranMag

would anyone like a clue before i head off to quote-puzzler?

5:48 am

Haz1558

A mystery then? Can you tell by their playing styles or anything?

5:48 am

Jacula

Fran - I'm okay, thanks.

5:48 am

Jacula

Haz - No. There's no chat in WebBoggle.

5:49 am

Jacula

If you sign in under the team name your scores get joined together.

5:49 am

Haz1558

No individual glory then?

5:49 am

Andree

thx Fran, have a goodnight

5:49 am

FranMag

jac, i think hurshy plays, not sure who else.

5:49 am

FranMag

night all! see you tomorrow.

5:50 am

Jacula

Haz - No, but it's good fun when you shoot to the top of the score list by working together.

5:50 am

Jacula

'Night Fran. Sleep well.

5:50 am

Haz1558

Good night FranMag - don't feel you need to work too hard on quote-puzzler.....

5:51 am

Jacula

You also get a list of words that you found and no one else did. Babblers do well at that!:))

5:51 am

metaleather

'night FranMag

5:52 am

Haz1558

I'll have to check it out sometime. Husband will be delighted to hear I've found another word puzzle.

5:52 am

Jacula

Haz - Hursh put a link to it in BabAnon under 'General'. I was playing it months before but it was no fun without team mates.

5:54 am

Haz1558

Well, time for me to do something useful so I'd better take myself off again. 60 to find for later. Bye all!

5:54 am

Jacula

'Bye Haz. See you later.

Jaianniah, my heart and prayers are with you. I lost mine in January -- I do understand {{{ jai }}}

8:14 am

beebee

jaian- i'm so sorry, i'll be thinking of you

8:14 am

Jacula

jaia - (((HUGS)). I know how it feels.xxx

8:15 am

Wolvie

I lost my Dad when he was young too - not quite 67 - long time ago tho - still haven't quite gotten over it

8:15 am

jaianniah

(((((ch1212)))))) back at you!! TY....

8:15 am

Wolvie

bye beebee

8:15 am

Wolvie

sorry to hear about your Dad as well, ch - hugs to you

8:16 am

jaianniah

So sorry, Wolvie- do we ever really get over these losses so much as adjust to them?

8:16 am

Wolvie

I don't think we do get over it, jai - just adjust as you say.

8:17 am

jaianniah

TY Jac and beebee

8:17 am

ch1212

and back to you, wolvie... My momma died in 1981 when I was 25, and I still think of her every day. I have, as you said Jai, 'adjusted' but there is a space in my heart where her spirit lives.

8:17 am

metaleather

My sympathies jai

8:17 am

Jacula

Wolvie - I lost my Dad 3 years ago on 23rd November after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was only 72. I still think about him every day.

8:18 am

jaianniah

Oh, ch, how horrible to lose your Mom so young....that really is terrible....

8:18 am

jaianniah

ty, metal ((()))

8:19 am

Atalante

my dad managed to kill himself 2 weeks before my university finals ... nothing like that to defocus the mind!

8:19 am

Wolvie

so many losses here - everywhere I guess. sorry to hear of them. I still have my Mom - she'll be 80 in Dec.

8:19 am

metaleather

I agree Wolvie. The pain of losing my parents (daddy in 1972 when he was 73 and mama in 1979 when she was 63) is still with me, I just deal with it better than I used to do.

8:19 am

ch1212

Jai, I'm not the age matters ... our hearts grieve at any age. My natural dad died when I was 9, and my mom was blessed to remarry my "heart dad" who went in January. With all three, the grief was the same.

Atalante, {{{ hugs }}}

8:19 am

metaleather

oh Ata {{{Ata}}}

8:19 am

jaianniah

OMG Atalante!

8:19 am

Jacula

It does get less painful though, except when some silly little thing catches you unawares. My Dad has shown he's still keeping an eye on me in lots of ways... for instance, I wonder where a tool or something is, or what tool to use to do something, and the tool or the answer is suddenly there. I feel warm inside when that happens.

8:19 am

mrpresident

Oh Atalante!! what a tragic thing for you!!

8:19 am

Wolvie

oh ata - how horrible - so sorry

8:20 am

Wolvie

same here, Jac - Dad's are like that. :-)

8:20 am

Jacula

Ata - oh, how awful! (((HUGS)))

8:20 am

Atalante

I think I was more mad at him for messing up my finals for a long time! But ... time *does* heal, you do adjust and move on, whatever happens ...

8:20 am

jaianniah

Yes- I have had some strange things happen...it is like he is trying to help me adjust....and know he's still there for me....

8:21 am

Wolvie

on a different note - I can't get the grid to take Po 6/24 's plural - it is an e, isn't it?

8:21 am

Jacula

Wolvie - no, an 's'.

8:21 am

jaianniah

there is no 6/24 pl.

8:22 am

ch1212

That's true, Atalante. I read a wonderful book by Judy Collins about her son's suicide, and she wrote that something like 75% of us have someone who killed themself in our family. Two of my cousins did. She wrote about how it affects everyone, no matter how distant. But I think losing a parent that way has to be the hardest. {{{ again }}}

8:22 am

Wolvie

okay - we are talking a different po 6 then - no way to add an s to K2CO3

8:22 am

jaianniah

nope

8:23 am

Wolvie

okay - jai - I must have misunderstood a clue.

8:23 am

metaleather

oooh ch1212, ty. I haven't used my chemistry knowledge (what little I retain) in years

jaianniah

then pl. that for po7

8:24 am

raelite

morning all :)

8:24 am

Atalante

its not easy! it just messes up the whole situation - you can't grieve cos you're angry and upset and don't understand what happened. but acceptance does turn up eventually and life carries on!

8:24 am

Wolvie

hi rae

8:24 am

metaleather

morning raelite

8:24 am

8:24 am

hi all -so sorry about your dad jai. It's always sad to lose a parent. My dad died almost 9 yrs ago at 72. He ' hugs' me when I'm low & some people ( including me till it happened!) think it's creepy but I love it! Keep him close, those you love are always there for you

8:24 am

Jacula

Sorry Wolvie. I was talking moonshine!;)

8:25 am

Wolvie

I hear you ata - 1988 was a curve ball year for me - it took awhile to adjust

Hello all

10:32 am

hurshy

there's your problem klaurel, you have misunderstood the game - you have to connect letters, not dots

10:32 am

hurshy

define "exist", hydra

klaurel

Redistricting sounds worse, because you know that is just for political domination

2:29 pm

hurshy

that's good to hear, been worried

2:29 pm

stidmama

hi inge!

2:29 pm

Bloodaxe

actually inge, the red represents the red earth of Morocco, and the green of the star represents Islam, and the 5-points are for the 5 pillars of Islam.

2:29 pm

Ankhorite

Bless me, Blood, did you write to Dr. God? I see your icon!

2:29 pm

2:31 pm

hurshy

i know a tesselations song from square one

2:31 pm

Bloodaxe

i'm sending him a message right now ank. Stid had the grand idea that we all use the Moroccan flag as our icon until I get a flag.

2:31 pm

Ankhorite

Txs for explaining flag lore, Blood. Hey, I'll do it -- you don't think he'd get mad, do you?

2:31 pm

mab

i have to admit, i didn't know what they were...

YAY hurshy!

2:33 pm

hurshy

2:33 pm

firefly779

as in "I shant be long" (spoken when leaving and coming back soon)

2:33 pm

stidmama

YAY tor!

2:34 pm

Ankhorite

*hee hees at Firefly* Aww, I know how it feels!

2:34 pm

hurshy

well anyway i made it listless

2:34 pm

Ankhorite

But it's "shan't be long," contraction of shall not, so you can't have it. No apostrophe in the grid.

2:34 pm

hurshy

yay, ankh stickled for me

2:34 pm

mab

rah for torgone, even though hurshy was listless

2:35 pm

Bloodaxe

i don't know how he's feel about it ank. We would all be aware that it is a very friendly sort of protest, just in good fun.
but i've never talked to Dr_God so I don't know how he'd take it.

2:35 pm

Ankhorite

YAY Hurshy! YAY Tor! YAY Inge! I hope that gets me caught up. :)

2:35 pm

mab

rah for hurshy just because and because she was listless

2:35 pm

Ankhorite

Hmmm. Well, maybe I'll hold off until he's had a day to consider your email. :)

2:35 pm

Bloodaxe

i just sent it. I'll let you know when/if I get a response.

2:35 pm

stidmama

Bloodaxe, Dr_God is a sweet, santy-claus type of person. He is nice and I think he would find our peaceful demonstration entirely neat!

2:35 pm

firefly779

alright Ankh, maybe you're right then...apostrophes, darn them

2:35 pm

hurshy

epscuse me but i think i can say with utter certainty that doc would so not care if people make the flag their icon.

2:36 pm

stidmama

inge finished? and I missed it?

2:36 pm

mab

blood, take to dr. g-d; he will get your flag.

2:36 pm

hurshy

sweet and santa-clausy? i was thinking more computer geek oblivious to matters pertaining to sensitivity

2:36 pm

Bloodaxe

hahaha..santy-claus type, stid?
i know have a very neat image of Dr God.

2:36 pm

Bloodaxe

i want to hug him.

2:37 pm

hurshy

i think that's more stid projecting than anything, blood.. :)

2:37 pm

hurshy

stid thinks everyone is sweet because she is sweet.

2:37 pm

Ankhorite

I guess I think of him with a beard. Don't know why, it's not a melodramtic Jovian beard or anything.

2:37 pm

stidmama

well, he's about half my age, I think -- but he's always been really nice and responsive when I write to him.

2:37 pm

firefly779

Dr G's icon is that of ZZ Top Blood, still want to hug him??

2:37 pm

mab

oh, bosh, blood, he's just a precocious 12-year-old

2:38 pm

hurshy

2:38 pm

stidmama

(man, do I have the wool pulled over hurshy's eyes)

2:38 pm

Ankhorite

2:38 pm

hurshy

where's artlady, she could tell us how old doc is

2:38 pm

mab

12!

2:38 pm

Ankhorite

ZZTopp -- maybe THAT's how I got the beard idea?

2:38 pm

hurshy

my x-ray eyes see right through your wool

2:38 pm

stidmama

LOL Dr_god is in the chat room (his name has Morocco next to it...)

2:38 pm

Bloodaxe

my monkey's must be fasting too.

2:54 pm

Wolvie

I ain't comin out of the corner to comment on folk's monkeys... ;-0

2:54 pm

hurshy

ae is alt spelling of et5

2:54 pm

inge

ae clue: gas they used in olden times to put put patients in the operating room, diff. spelling , the real spelling appears in et words

2:54 pm

hurshy

oh inge, don't be so judgmental

2:55 pm

inge

*put out *

2:55 pm

inge

is the ae spelling the real one then

2:55 pm

Bloodaxe

haha..thanks inge. I have both of them now.

2:55 pm

hurshy

they are both valid.

2:55 pm

hurshy

and now you've hurt the poor ae's feelings.

2:56 pm

inge

they should appoint a babbler committee to determine final spellings!

2:56 pm

firefly779

i agree that the common spelling is the et

2:56 pm

hurshy

but both are valid not just in babble... babble can't just pick one...

2:57 pm

Vicuna

Nah, ae's are so snobbish they don't care what you say.

2:57 pm

inge

why not? aren't we a force to be counted with???

2:57 pm

stidmama

kid is okay, just exhausted from the virus, I think. *sigh* parenting and worry go hand in hand.

2:57 pm

hurshy

etymologically speaking, ae is in fact the more valid

2:57 pm

Atalante

I prefer the ae

2:57 pm

hetty

inge can you help me find the middle pa's? I'm missing the 4th pa5 and the 4th and 5th pa4's

2:58 pm

stidmama

"common" is right -- vulgar in the latin sense! AE is prettier

2:58 pm

firefly779

good to hear stid - and i agree

2:59 pm

inge

the 4th pa 5 is what men wear, plural

2:59 pm

Wolvie

hetty - my 4th pa 5, and I have them all, is a pair of pa***

2:59 pm

stidmama

how many Pa's does one woman need hetty? LOL

2:59 pm

inge

pa 4: pa + snake + vowel, the other is p + cinders

2:59 pm

Wolvie

the 4th pa 4 is like the ph 5, just no h

3:00 pm

Wolvie

inge got the 5th. :-)

3:00 pm

hetty

T%he problem--if it IS a problem--is that the greek alphebet has letters diferent than those found inte Latin, and therefore i our, alphabet. "AE" is one such instance; simplifying it to "e" on the grounds of what it sounds like does an injustice to the original language

3:01 pm

Wolvie

brb - must take grady out - he is prancing.

3:02 pm

inge

the problem here is that any word with ae throws me

3:03 pm

hetty

Now.How many what do I need, Stid? If they are what I'm wearing at the moment I have several pairs in my closet a well as on my word list

3:03 pm

I am waiting for my three students to tutor in German, if I suddenly am unresponsive, they are here

3:14 pm

hetty

Wolvie, our wires are crossed. I have every blessed pa except for the p4/ that follows what I am wearing and that precedes a peculiar word rhyming with "pace"--in my list anyway--

3:15 pm

hetty

Sorr --that should be pa5

3:15 pm

Wolvie

uhhh - hetty - I am thru with the pa's - pace (alt) directly follows what you are wearing, the one you want is a pa 4/6 I think, like a ba**, party, if you will. :-)

3:16 pm

magzel

thanks wolvie

3:16 pm

stidmama

hetty -- the children's plays in England? at holidays I think...

3:16 pm

Wolvie

LOL -okay - the very next pa 5/12 after the thing you wear is the glue.

3:16 pm

stidmama

full word ends with what marcel marceau is...

3:19 pm
