2:01 am

dcseain

finally got the 7s, the drink has an a, and it took me a bit to shorten it to the fruit co4nut. My literalist brain drives me a bit batty at times.

2:01 am

sprite

because it is too straightforward in the grid, jilli. We are used to make it knot and twist.

2:02 am

dcseain

ty for the E, jilli, those straight line ones are the hardest., and i tend to read up, rather than down.

2:05 am

dcseain

we've had 2.7cm of rain in the last 40 days, sprite, and we are under water restrictions due to drought, and most crops failed around here this yer for lack of water. So, yes rain is a happy. :)

morning, sarlet, how are you?

3:35 am

dcseain

very pretty Eid Al-Fatir icon, scarlet

3:35 am

Scarlet

Well, thank you, dc. And you? Still at work?

3:35 am

Scarlet

Thanks, dc... I haven't changed it since last Saturday... it's a busy time, but good! :-)

3:36 am

dcseain

i worked day yesterday, i'm home now and i work night tonight, if that all makes sense.

3:36 am

Scarlet

LOL, then your days and nights are still topsy-turvy... I used to work nights and really loved it, but sleeping was elusive!

3:37 am

sprite

hey Scarlet!

3:37 am

dcseain

huh. the co5.22 comes from Dutch. never seen it before.

3:37 am

Scarlet

Hey sprite! *Hugs to you* How ARE you dear lady?

3:38 am

dcseain

that word alone was half the fun in completing this grid.

3:38 am

sprite

must look for that one then, dc! :)

3:39 am

Scarlet

Well done, dc. This seems to be much more of a challenge than yesterday's zoomer!

3:39 am

sprite

hi Scarlet... not too great, but learning. Slowly learning AND learning to be patient about it, lol. Last part is the hardest!

3:39 am

sprite

and how are you doing?

3:41 am

Scarlet

Oh... that really touches me, sprite... the patience part took me decades to learn, but it finally came... in spurts. I had hoped that you were making strides into a more comfortable place. We are well, and this is the finest time of the year. I love the fall, the World Series starts tonight, and the National Football League is in full force... I am making plans for Thanksgiving now... yadda, yadda, yadda... LOL

3:41 am

dcseain

yes, challenge today, babrab was a huge help in completing it.

3:42 am

Scarlet

BabbleRabble is a wonderful resource when spragging in a grid, dc.

3:43 am

sprite

wow, that sounds so good, Scarlet!
And I am making progress, only very very slow. It will take several more years to really get there, probably. Glad I am not the only one for whom patience is not easy ;)

3:43 am

dcseain

yes, sie is. also a most interesting person.

3:44 am

sprite

I agree on BabbleRabble being a great help... and not only in grids :)

3:44 am

dcseain

i hope the Sox win,though i think the Rockies have an advantage.

3:46 am

Scarlet

I am hoping for a slam-bang meeting that goes the full seven, dc... Sox do have the advantage as the host... two, three, two... But the Rockies are the team of destiny this year, it seems. It is the local double-

3:46 am

dcseain

i have such patience, would that i could share. *hug*

3:46 am

Scarlet

A team here in Asheville.

3:46 am

sprite

thanks for that hug and that wish, dc :)

3:47 am

dcseain

i lived briefly in Boston. I must say i was disappointed to see the tribe lose, though, as i have strong ties to Cleeveland

3:47 am

dcseain

sorry to bore you w/the baseball chatter, sprite.

3:47 am

sprite

you never bore me, dc

3:48 am

Scarlet

Just to hear you say that you have made progress is very endearing, sprite... You know what you have to do...you are such a dear person... you can and will do it!

3:49 am

dcseain

i agree with Scarlet, sprite, i'm confident you shall prevail in this endeavour, trying as it be.

3:49 am

Scarlet

Something just let the steam out of the Indians, dc... I felt really bad for Eric Wedge... he is one heck of a manager, and the kids had guts and grit.

3:49 am

sprite

thanks for the vote of confidence :) :)
I could really use one.

3:50 am

sprite

my hubby just came to me and asked why the salt was in the freezer... I think I must have put it there yesterday without even realising it. Stupid, isn't it :(

3:50 am

Scarlet

Sprite, some days it was one-half step forward, two back... for years... It's some kind of balancing act. LOL... maybe you were thinking of making ice-cream?

3:50 am

sprite

I am glad he can laugh about it, lol.

3:51 am

dcseain

yes, i agree about the indians, scarlet.

3:51 am

dcseain

see, i said when i logged on that ice cream was the leitmotif this week. :D

3:51 am

Scarlet

I hope they maintain that momentum for next season, dc... good group, and Grady Sizemore is due for an amazing career...

3:51 am

sprite

and thank you too, dc, for the vote of confidence. You guys give me courage when I am running out of it.

3:51 am

dcseain

i agree

3:52 am

sprite

ice cream... now that is always a good thought :)

3:53 am

Scarlet

Sprite, every day I make myself do something I really dont' want to do... that created a great deal of patience... and acceptance.

3:54 am

sprite

oh yes, I am doing that too. One step out of the tiny comfort zone and then back. Time and time again... and learn.

3:54 am

dcseain

hm. that could be a method for me to build some motivation.

3:55 am

Scarlet

Then the mundane little chores seem to be accomplished, I feel better about having done it, and find the "oomph" to do more... even the unpleasant things.

3:56 am

sprite

it does work, it's true :)
I have written a couple of tough emails this morning, I will go shower after babble and I will do the laundry today.

3:56 am

Scarlet

It's kind of a reverse-impetus... LOL

3:57 am

Scarlet

Then you are in a good frame of mind, sprite... at least it isn't the inertia that had its fangs in you earlier in the year...

3:58 am

sprite

no, I have it mostly beaten! The antidepressiva made all the difference in that respect.

3:58 am

dcseain

glad to hear, sprite. may that it keeps working for you.

3:59 am

Scarlet

I am so glad to hear that! Meanwhile, life goes on, and there are whole cycles that seem crashingly designed to erode one's soul... that is what actually helped me... and others...

3:59 am

sprite

I really hope so, dc. I finally accepted the fact that I need them. Though I think I will be able to get to a lower dosage over one or two years, I will not again try to do without them.

4:00 am

Scarlet

Getting through those cycles.. I mean. I used to say, "God, bring it on." That may not have been exactly wise... LOL

4:00 am

sprite

I am not sure I know what you mean, Scarlet? Bad cycles help you?

4:00 am

dcseain

now, if only i could convince my mother that she needs an anti-anxiety and/or an anti-depressant.

4:00 am

sprite

oh, ok! Answered before asked, lol, thanks.

4:01 am

sprite

those that protest the loudest, often need them most, dc :(

4:01 am

dcseain

yep.

4:02 am

Scarlet

Yes, sprite. I have seen the gift of challenge... sorry about that, dc... that's hard on the family, too.

4:02 am

sprite

yeah, prayers like that seem to draw even more bad stuff, Scarlet ;)

4:02 am

dcseain

"god, bring it on." i understand this concept, comprehend it even, but grok it, i do not. I was raised around, but apart from Southern Protestantism. (No offence intended in that)

4:03 am

Scarlet

Words of Wisdom: Don't EVER say, "What else could happen?" Just dive under a rock if you say that!

4:03 am

sprite

I got citalopran from my doctor and that really works good for me, against both the depression and the anxiety. The are both still there, don't get me wrong, but more manageable.

4:03 am

sprite

too true!

4:03 am

dcseain

scarlet, realizing my mother has anxiety put my whole childhood in sharp focus, and i give her credit for not alloving her anxiety to get in the way of my sister and i having good childhoods.

4:04 am

sprite

so now you wish she'd be as good to herself as she has been to you, dc?

4:04 am

dcseain

yes, and management is 2/3 of the battle, along with talk therapy, from my POV.

4:04 am

Scarlet

None taken, dc... My husband is Roman Catholic, I am a Buddhist, and the bring it on is my preference to deal with a great deal of negativity all at once rather than have it spread over a long period of time...

4:04 am

dcseain

that makes perfect sense, scarlet.

4:05 am

sprite

I am still having trouble with the management part. I keep mixing up management with control.

4:05 am

dcseain

yes and no, sprite. It's been fun watching her be grandma - she's rather like her mother's mother, and that is a very good thing. she, her brothers and i all have very fond memories of that grandmother.

4:05 am

Marmar

Good morning everyone, just wanted to say hello and goodbye I'm actually about to sign off. I got my 59 words today and that's good enough for now.

4:06 am

sprite

*hugs dc*

4:06 am

Scarlet

Hello and goodbye, Marmar!

4:06 am

dcseain

yes, sprite, that's a hard thing, in part because the drugs makes one feel sometimes like one loses a part of oneself, or control over part of oneself.

4:06 am

sprite

hello and bye, Marmar, good to see you, even for a sec :)

4:06 am

dcseain

hi, and bye, maramar. nice to see you, if briefly :)

4:07 am

Marmar

Just a quick comment. Sprite, dc and Scarlet, I was following the chat a while, and am so impressed by the close loving friendship here. God bless you (all) and yours.

4:07 am

sprite

I have taught myself to be in control of everything inside and outside... and to be extremely harsh on myself. I just never realised, I thought I was being totally normal, and even lazy. And now, when I should 'manage' things, I am still inclined to control them and me.

4:08 am

Scarlet

My beloved is ready for some banana pancakes and some strong coffee... Oh, sprite... that harshness is part of the depression tiers...

4:09 am

sprite

it is true, Marmar, this is a special community. Glad to know you are part of it.

4:09 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Marmar... it IS an amazing community in here with the good combinations of personalities...

4:09 am

sprite

I know, Scarlet... and I have lived with those for at least 25 years without realising. Unlearning is soooo tough, LOL!

4:09 am

Marmar

Take care, bye!

4:09 am

Cat9x

I'm back for just a bit. Sprite, antianxiety med's saved my sanity. About 10 years ago I thought I was losing my mind, the med's saved me. I didn't know what was wrong with me, thought it was menopausal, but no. To this day, still trying to convince my Dad that he needs them, he denies a problem. Hang in there!

4:11 am

sprite

*hugs Cat*
Thanks, it is so good to know I am not alone in this. You guys are the best, thanks for sharing.

4:12 am

Cat9x

*hugs back atcha* No, you are not alone sweetie!

4:12 am

dcseain

*hugs cat*, glad to hear that you got what you need, and good of you to be suppotive of your father.

4:12 am

Scarlet

OH, Cat9x... you are so fortunate to have found medications that help you... parents think that the younger generations beating the drum for a panacea are too easily influenced by medicine... we know differently!

4:12 am

dcseain

Late Oct, and i just turned the AC back on.

4:13 am

sprite

I can't believe how much support I get from babble, how many of you reach out to me and let me know they care, and tell me about their own struggles and that there is light at the end of the tunnel (light that does not come from another train even). I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.

4:13 am

Cat9x

Exactly Scarlet! My Dad thinks nowadays they just shove pills at you for anything, he is so wrong! Yes, paxil worked for me, still does, thank god!

4:13 am

dcseain

drugs be not a panacea, but a really wonderful aid/tool.

4:13 am

Cat9x

My AC is on dc, it's hot here, even at this time!

4:14 am

sprite

someone here said once: would you hesitate to take insuline if you were diagnosed with diabetes?
It is the very same thing: if the brain does not make enough serotonin, you need medicines to balance it.

4:14 am

dcseain

last week was in the 60s, this week it's been in the mid-80s, it's 5AM and the temp in the house w/windows open got down from 74F to 72F, but the humidity was not worth it.

4:15 am

sprite

that was a true eye-opener for me

4:15 am

Cat9x

There is a light sprite, it will come, hang in there. I know how tough it is, took a few trials to find what worked for me. I honestly had lost hope, thimnking nothing would. Some pills made me feel worse, it was awful. So awful.

4:15 am

dcseain

very nice analogy on the medications, sprite :)

4:15 am

Cat9x

exactly sprite!

4:16 am

dcseain

i took one minimal dose of prozac, and then neither ate nor slept for 72 hours. Weee!

4:17 am

sprite

I think it was Atalante who said it. It made me make peace with taking meds for the rest of my life. It made it so clear to me that it was not some kind of shortcoming of myself, but a chemical imbalance that needs to be set straight.

4:17 am

sprite

the wrong meds can be hell, I know. I was lucky my doctor picked the right one so fast.

4:17 am

Cat9x

Yikes dc, how horrible! Prozac did not work for me.

4:18 am

sprite

quel horror, dc!

4:18 am

Scarlet

OH, Cat... never give up and never give in! There is a way to normalcy out there... Ackkk, dc... that sounds like the way I react to meds...

4:18 am

dcseain

if you did not know, a lot of SSRIs started out in testing as diet drugs

4:18 am

Cat9x

Yes sprite, true! I know I will probably need them the rest of my life, but thats ok. I wouldn't call what I had before the pills. a "life". Now I have one, worth living.

4:18 am

dcseain

paxil, happily did me the good that prozac did not

4:18 am

sprite

yay for Cat! One helluva hero you are to me.

4:19 am

Cat9x

I won't Scarlet! I almost did, but that was long ago.

4:19 am

Cat9x

Aww sprite, I am no hero, just someone who through faith and loads of help, was able to find her way, you will too!

4:20 am

Cat9x

Great dc, thats what I take, works wonders for me :)

4:20 am

sprite

it is what kept me alive for so long... the fact that I just never give up. Not on a puzzle, not on a person, not on life. I guess that is why friends nicknamed me Pitbull Cassie.

4:20 am

sprite

you just gave my definition of a real hero, Cat :D

4:20 am

Scarlet

*Hugs to the greatest, most honest group of people I know.* I must feed my beloved... Peace and tenderness to all of you!

4:21 am

Cat9x

LOL sprite! Great nickname! A fighter, thats a great way to be :)

4:21 am

dcseain

ciao, scarlet.

4:21 am

sprite

Walk in Beauty, Scarlet, and enjoy the pancakes and your beloved :)

4:21 am

Cat9x

Thank you sprite :)

4:21 am

Cat9x

Thank you sprite :)

4:22 am

Scarlet

Thank you dear one.

4:22 am

dcseain

hm. the burn on my wrist shows evidence that it will leave an unfortunate scar, happily, not too large of one.

4:22 am

sprite

what did you do, dc? Sunburn?

4:22 am

Scarlet

*gasp* dc... did you....?

4:23 am

Cat9x

Off to bed, take care all, and sprite, hang tough, if you ever need to talk, email me, CatLeChatt@aol.com, enjoy your day, enjoy all that you have :) ciao!

4:23 am

dcseain

no, i was turning muffins from a pan, and my wrist hit the edge of the pan in the process, it was only a moderately sever sev1 burn, but i did not moisturize

4:23 am

dcseain

sleep well, cat

4:23 am

sprite

thanks Cat! *hug* Have a wonderful sleep with happy dreams :)

4:24 am

sprite

poor dc :(
Co4 until it burns no more, is the rule... but you already knew th4, I bet.

4:25 am

dcseain

yes, i did

4:25 am

dcseain

immediateyl

4:25 am

dcseain

did you find the co5/22 yet?

4:25 am

sprite

oh yes! Lovely word! And it does come straight from the dutch, indeed.

4:26 am

dcseain

yes, andi all-in-all we have oddly few dutch words in english, considering the close ties between England and Holland historically, and The Netheralands today.

4:27 am

sprite

I think because for most things there were already english words.

4:28 am

dcseain

good point, what with both being germanic.

4:29 am

sprite

there are incredibly many dutch words in japanese, because of the tight ties and the fact that their worlds were so far apart.

4:30 am

dcseain

that makes a lot of sense, just as a reasonable amount of Indonesian got incorporated into dutch

4:30 am

sprite

oh yes, that is true!

4:32 am

dcseain

how near are you to finishing?

4:33 am

sprite

and fireworks :)

4:33 am

dcseain

conrats1 :D

4:33 am

sprite

thanks :D

4:33 am

dcseain

it's amazed me how much faster i'm getting at this game as i play it more.

4:33 am

sprite

oh Fran, LOLLL at your vid! So nice to see that explained.

4:34 am

sprite

oh yes, that is very true. This is really a game that you can get better in all the time.

4:35 am

dcseain

kids are back in school this week?

4:35 am

sprite

they are, autumn holiday was one week only.

4:36 am

dcseain

i remember when i was in spain how many more holidays there were compared to here in the states.

4:37 am

sprite

many more, but much shorter, indeed

4:38 am

dcseain

it's funny how sometimes cultures can differ. Some canadians are baffled by the fact that we take 2 days for thanksgiving, whereas they only take 1.

4:38 am

dcseain

of course, theirs is the 1st monday in october, ours is the 4th thursday in november, which accounts for that difference.

4:39 am

sprite

there are many differences, even here in Holland, between provinces. Ah well, we manage :D

4:40 am

dcseain

huh, i never really thought about it,but the netherlands is every bit the cobbled-together counntry that spain, gormany, and italy are, isn't it.

4:40 am

dcseain

i guess belgium falls in that camp, too

4:42 am

sprite

oh yes, we are

4:45 am

dcseain

i should sleep, as i've been up for nearly 25 hours now. Hope you have a lovely day, and i'll catech tomorrow after flip.

4:45 am

sprite

sleep well, dc, and thanks for the great company!

4:46 am

dcseain

totally my pleasure! *hug* {poof}

4:46 am

sprite

I am off too, bye all

5:25 am

mrpresident

hello everyone :)

5:25 am

mrpresident

oh man, I have been chatting away to a chat log with no one on it! LOL just refreshed :D

5:26 am

mrpresident

oh no! a grid of M's and C's!! arrrgghhhh

5:29 am

JBsAnno

Good morning, mrp! You are not alone!

5:29 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp!

5:29 am

JBsAnno

Actually, I just got up, and was hoping for at least 200 words today...

5:29 am

JBsAnno

Lickety!

5:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Jb! how are ya!

5:30 am

JBsAnno

Dreaming of my first cup of coffee, L!

5:30 am

Sandieangel

Hi I'm here for a short while as well before I have to go out shopping. Looks a tricky one today even though it is a short one.

5:30 am

licketySplitAUS

oh - that first cup saves my day ;-)

5:30 am

SamanthaJoy

I can't past the messages that inform me that I've already entered "co4/5" and "mo4/5" and mo5/16"

5:30 am

JBsAnno

Looking at the grid, only one phrase comes to mind: "How the H are ya?!"

5:31 am

SamanthaJoy

hee hee

5:31 am

JBsAnno

GM, Samantha

5:31 am

licketySplitAUS

sandie - like a bad song suck in your head huh

5:32 am

Sandieangel

Can't believe that AH word!

5:32 am

mrpresident

it is tricky! all good over here. How you all going?

5:32 am

SamanthaJoy

Good morning, all

5:32 am

licketySplitAUS

sorry - so sandi - samantha

5:32 am

SamanthaJoy

Hey Lickety--has anyone here told you recently just how very grateful we are for the recent-ish Bullk Add Feature?

5:33 am

JBsAnno

Bless you, Sandie - you made that my first found word!

5:33 am

SamanthaJoy

becuz we RLY RLY LIKE IT

5:33 am

Sandieangel

well I guess that's nothing to sneeze at then! LOL

5:33 am

JBsAnno

"H" - Bless all of you!!!

5:34 am

JBsAnno

Hee hee, Sandie, I love wordplay in the morning!

5:34 am

licketySplitAUS

thank you samantha - Do you run Babble Expert?

5:34 am

SamanthaJoy

No, I'm using Firefox currently

5:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Are you on a MAC? If not - send me an email - and you'll love me more ;-)

5:35 am

SamanthaJoy

I am not sure how to find your email address, and I'm on a Dell PC--we live in Round Rock, Tejas, home of Dell Inc.

5:35 am

JBsAnno

Y'know, lickety, I've tried running the Babble Browser several times, but all my computer does is give me a blank page with columns (Win XP with security)

5:36 am

licketySplitAUS

JBs - I can help you with that - send me a screen shot and I'll reply. Samantha - it's on the right of the clues page - my name + gmail.com

5:37 am

SamanthaJoy

I'll get it you today, with "Babble" somewhere in the subject line. Thank you!

5:37 am

licketySplitAUS

Samantha - it's for people like you that I've created it - you'll love it

5:38 am

JBsAnno

Okay, lick, I will soon in the next few days. Thanks!

5:38 am

SamanthaJoy

"People Like Me"? Oh I'm dying to find out what that means!

5:39 am

JBsAnno

Oh, yes, still loving the list! BUT, listen, yesterday I finished without any list at all!

Sure, sure, only 50 or so words, but really! No list!

5:39 am

licketySplitAUS

Samantha - it just means - lovely geniune people - with common interests - And as far as I'm concerned - the best group on the internet.

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Hello all. Samantha--Babble Expert is great! Lickety is a genius. TY, Lickety.

5:39 am

SamanthaJoy

Hee hee. That's lovely, lickety. Thank you

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, JB.

5:39 am

lideola

No matter what the tile stats say, there are only 20 "middle C" words

5:39 am

licketySplitAUS

JBs - did you know that I give you all an extra suprize - Every time you finish you get a new interesting video as fireworks

5:39 am

JBsAnno

*bows to Lickety*

*waves at Scrabbler!*

5:39 am

lideola

good morning all

5:40 am

licketySplitAUS

Thanks Scrabbler - you were there from the beginning - and helped alot!

5:40 am

JBsAnno

I know, Lickety, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Lickety, I drove by a restaurant/bar last week and on the billboard, the featured band to be playing that night was: Lickety Split! I wondered if you are touring? LOL

5:40 am

JBsAnno

GM, Lideola!

5:41 am

lideola

and Babble Expert gives me the extra time to get a proper dinner made every night

5:41 am

licketySplitAUS

Scrabbler - funnily enough - I searched my name 2 weeks ago - and found that band and even saw a video of them playing - 2 girls leading

5:41 am

Scrabbler

The videos are always a nice prize, and some are absolutely outstanding.

5:41 am

JBsAnno

Now showing: Lickety and his List!

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Lideola--I often eat dinner right here in front of the screen.

5:42 am

licketySplitAUS

Scrabbler - but cooking and playing would be hard - unless you have voice entry - Now that's an idea for V13

5:43 am

JBsAnno

Speak softly and carry a big dictionary, right?

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I run to the kitchen, set the timer on the microwave, run back here. when the food is ready, I am back here with my plate.

5:43 am

lideola

there is a new excellent childrens show on Public Television that focuses on letters and reading. Its a fav of my girls- and one of the characters' catch phrases is "Lickety Letters- you did it!" Made me giggle the first time I heard it

5:43 am

lideola

i do that with lunch Scrabs: ) while girlies are napping

5:44 am

licketySplitAUS

hehehe - lideola - yes - I chose my alias years ago - I saw it before, and I keep hearing it too. I read it in one of my kids books too - I think it was Dr Seuss too

5:44 am

Scrabbler

I am always multitasking in my life.

5:44 am

SamanthaJoy

Wait . . . if "nuncle" is a Shakespearean word, why isn't "nant"?

5:45 am

Scrabbler

You should petition the Enable Dictionary editors, SJ.

5:45 am

SamanthaJoy

HA! I see I stumped everyone with that.

5:46 am

licketySplitAUS

oh words - words words words.... Anyways - I gotta do fatherly duties and get the kids to bed. Night chatting - see you soon I'm sure.

5:46 am

JBsAnno

I second your petition, Sam

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Shakespeare has stumped me since I was first introduced in 9th grade.

5:47 am

SamanthaJoy

Really, Shakespeare doesn't work so much inthe spoken word. You need good actors who understand what they're saying.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Good night, Lickety. Say hello to everyone.

5:47 am

JBsAnno

GN, lickety!

5:47 am

LoriP

G'd morning Babblers!

5:48 am

JBsAnno

GM, Lori!

It's amazing what you will understand when it's delivered by people who assume you will understand the,

5:48 am

G'night Lickety! ***My Babble hero***

5:48 am

Scrabbler

But I don't understand what they are saying--I need a translator. That is why CLiff Notes and Spark Notes are great for people like me.

5:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Of course I wouldn't want the UN to be run that way

5:48 am

cool girl

morning everyone can i have todays stats and any biggies please

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi Miss Nova Scotia.

5:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Hi Lori

5:49 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, Scrabbler, what works for a lot, or even for most, just won't work for everyone

5:49 am

Scrabbler

80 words, six 6's and two 7's.

5:49 am

JBsAnno

80 words, coolgirl, 2 7's, 6 6's

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I am missing parts of my brain, like musical ability and understanding Shakespeare, otherwise I get along well in life.

5:49 am

JBsAnno

So, do you take the C notes to the play, Scrabs?

5:50 am

cool girl

thankyou

5:50 am

LoriP

I want a bigger grid! ***pouting***

5:50 am

LoriP

You're up early today Scrabbler.

5:50 am

JBsAnno

I'm missing the gardening and quilting genes!

5:50 am

SamanthaJoy

Musical Ability is a closed book to me. I had a close friend who was a classically trained musician; I have a close friend who is an Emmy award winning producer, and I still don't quite understand what a "key" is

5:51 am

JBsAnno

**pouts along with Lori** Meeee toooooo!

5:51 am

bichon

Scrabbler, have you ever read a book about Scrabble called "Word Freak" by Stefan Fatsis?

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Haha, JB, I skip Shakespeare in the Park when invited by friends every summer. I went once 15 yrs ago or so and felt like I was hearing a foreign language. Well, it is a foreign language.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Bichon--I loved that book! There is a movie with him in it, following the players--Word Play, I think.

5:52 am

bichon

No, that's crossword puzzles.

5:52 am

JBsAnno

It is if the actors race through their speeches, Scrabbler. I really really liked the Mel Gibson Hamlet movie, because the words and acting all melted together and made it a very powerful presentation.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Lori, I set my alarm for 6 on Tues and Wed. My arrival here depends on how many times I hit the snooze button.

5:53 am

LoriP

LOLOL Scrabbler

5:53 am

JBsAnno

I like my snooze button, too! 3x today...

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Bichon--search on Blockbuster on-line, and you wil find it. The stars of the book are in the movie.

5:55 am

bichon

The movie Word Play? The one that centers about the Crossword Championship in Stamford CT?

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Lori--so far I am struggling with this grid. I have just 27 words in 30 min.

5:55 am

SamanthaJoy

Did you ever see the Scrabble Vidlit, Scrabbler?

5:55 am

Scrabbler

No, bichon, there is a Scrabble movie. I'll go look now.

5:56 am

LoriP

I have 28. I'm trying to drag it out.....

5:57 am

JBsAnno

Anyone have hints for the 7's?

5:59 am

NonnieLight

5:59 am

NonnieLight

Aha, the Scrabble movies are Word Wars, and Scrabylon.

6:01 am

LoriP

6:03 am

LoriP

6:03 am

LoriP

***Goes quietly without resistance to the PB***

6:04 am

mrpresident

hi lori :)

6:04 am

Sandieangel

does anyone have an idea for that co5/22 plz?

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I finally figured out Lori's sin. SJ--I am watching the vidlit and love it. (paused now to tell you!)

6:06 am

mrpresident

sandie, it uses the 5 point letter

6:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Heh! Tell me you love it again after you get to the end, if you're still speaking to me then

6:06 am

LoriP

co + I *ove truffles in the PB + high point tile letter + 1st vowel

6:06 am

SamanthaJoy

mr P? There is no 5 point letter

6:07 am

mrpresident

oh darn, I mean 6 point

6:07 am

NonnieLight

winter is co** (burrrrr) and **p with a stun gun

6:07 am

JBsAnno

Oh, I just got the 5 point letter!

6:07 am

Sandieangel

wow thanks for that - that's a tricky word

6:07 am

SamanthaJoy

okey doke. you either meant four or six, I thought we should clarify

6:08 am

JBsAnno

Really, if you look at the M, it has 5 points...

6:08 am

LoriP

It's a stoopid word, and I'd like to thank my monkeys.

6:08 am

JBsAnno

It's not WORTH 5 points, tho

6:08 am

SamanthaJoy

OK, the m is special. I grant you that. It's a special M

6:08 am

NonnieLight

oops my clue puts an extra letter in the word...I am forever doing that...sorry.

6:10 am

SamanthaJoy

I wonder if Scrabbler will still be speaking to me when s/he gets back?

6:10 am

NonnieLight

Off to work, take care all.

6:10 am

SamanthaJoy

g'bye

6:11 am

LoriP

Later Nonnie, have a good one.

6:12 am

cool girl

LoriP

Bye JBs. Congrats mrP!

6:16 am

mrpresident

bye nonnie and jb :)

6:19 am

SamanthaJoy

Scrabbler? Have you recovered yet? Are you still speaking to me?

6:22 am

SamanthaJoy

I think I killed Scrabbler. I'm worried.

6:23 am

SamanthaJoy

I HAD A PERMIT FOR THE GUN!

6:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Um. It's actually kinda freaking me out that no one is talking to me. Will someone, anyone, make some kind of pro forma reply so that I don't feel so all alone?

6:27 am

Scrabbler

SJ--I had to check e-mail and I haven't finished the video yet. Now I have to go to work, so I will finish it. I am now curious about the ending...what could be so bad?

6:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Heh. Go watch it, it's got to be almost over

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I mean, I will finish the video later today.

6:27 am

SamanthaJoy

and thank you

6:29 am

SamanthaJoy

"What could be so bad" indeed--you're right, it's a religion, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I have about 6 min to go in the video and should have entered the shower 10 min ago...I hit the snooze alarm twice and lost valuable internet time...darn!!

11:05 am

Oops, fingers faster than brain this morning.

11:07 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lucky you

11:08 am

jan

My last c/5 was the last ch/5/14--a brackish lake or march in North Africa, usually dry in the summer. Now, who knew we needed a word for that?!

11:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ch5 rhymes with croquet-like game played on horseback

11:08 am

mamabear

good clue, Doc! thanks

11:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

8-D

11:09 am

mamabear

now the last 5/14

11:09 am

jan

And I rest my case,, exceptionally bizarre c's today.

11:09 am

jan

Mamabear, that's the one I just now clued.

11:09 am

Tinascratch2

congrats jan! and ty for the clue earlier

11:10 am

mamabear

does it start out like the 4/6 above it?

11:10 am

Book Doctor Gwen

still missing a bunch of Cs meself

11:10 am

mamabear

good lord - I just counted and still need 13 c's

11:10 am

Madi95

hi babblers

11:10 am

jan

Unless, mamabear, you are looking for the co/5/14, in which case it's the French nobleman.

11:10 am

mamabear

hi madi!

11:11 am

jan

But if it's the ch/5/14, no, it doesn't start the same as the ch/4 just above it in the list. (Incidentally, thanks again lickety--I could never have liscked the c's without the list today!)

11:12 am

Madi95

can i have some help with the frist mo 5/16 and the mo 5/18? I'm stuck

11:12 am

Madi95

*first

11:12 am

mamabear

brb

11:12 am

Tinascratch2

the mo5/16 is a chocolate flavor in coffee

11:12 am

Tinascratch2

don't have the 5/18 yet myself

11:13 am

bichon

lo 6/24 anyone, please?

11:14 am

jan

It's an alternate spelling of the mo/16, apparently. Ends the same as a to and a co, though.

11:14 am

Madi95

i wouldn't know about a coffee flavor. i don't drink it. chances are i haven't heard the word either.

11:15 am

jan

The lo/6 is a Gaelic term for a small lake. Seems like we have a lot of odd watery words today.

11:15 am

Madi95

think **** Nest Monster

11:15 am

Tinascratch2

ty jan, for that 'lo'

11:16 am

jan

YW, tina...

11:17 am

jan

OK, time for work. Any more clues before I go?

11:17 am

Book Doctor Gwen

friend you share chocolate with: cocomate

11:17 am

Madi95

mo 5/18?

11:17 am

bichon

the lo, could you give a hint, not a definition, please

11:17 am

jan

I clued the mo/18 at 11:14...

11:18 am

Tinascratch2

That seems like a sound basis for a word, BD Gwen

11:18 am

Madi95

k

11:18 am

Madi95

oh, sorry. I did't see it. ty

11:18 am

jan

Gwen, now *there's* a word we actually need, unlike some of the c's today...

11:19 am

pabtrek

have 3 left, and just can't see them, time to go to the list

11:19 am

Tinascratch2

the lo6 begins with the lo4 before it and ends with **other two letters

11:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

maybe i should start making chocolate for a living. got the brand already LOL

11:20 am

jan

Sure, chocolate plus freindship. What's not to like?

11:21 am

Book Doctor Gwen

endorphins plus more endorphins!!

11:21 am

debjed

11:23 am

mamabear

back... and the c's are still here.... hohum

11:23 am

Madi95

yw

11:23 am

jan

That mo is one of my favorite words. It's a biblical word for a false god that requires parents to sacrifice their children. And by extension, any idea that would sacrifice the future for the present. Quite useful.

11:24 am

Madi95

these m words are making me mad.

11:25 am

mamabear

I can't see anything today

11:25 am

jan

Even more than the c's? If it weren't for the c's today, I'd have been m/4/5ing about the m's.

11:26 am

Madi95

yeah. more than the c's

11:26 am

debjed

c's are making me mad

11:26 am

bbnaz

lo6.24? please.

11:26 am

jan

For a short grid, this one is nasty. Lots of faux words.

11:27 am

jan

BBnaz, several clues just below here in chat.

11:27 am

Madi95

lo 6/24 was clued at 11:15

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

finally found that last co5. sectional furniture

11:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

lo6 is the Scottish lake (lo4) plus a vowel and a hump letter

11:27 am

Tinascratch2

Honestly, that co5 took me forever and I was really, really annoyed with myself when I finally found it (thanks to jan's clue)

11:27 am

bbnaz

so its a derivation then

11:28 am

jan

I think the problem with the m's and c's is that there are two of them, so you can batter yourself working off the wrong one, even with the list.

11:28 am

bbnaz

thanks

11:29 am

Madi95

yep, jan. that's my problem with them

11:29 am

debjed

11:30 am

Madi95

11:30 am
