If you work weekends do you get time off in the week Scrabs?

7:01 am

Scrabbler

My day off is Friday, although sometimes I work on a Friday if someone is on vacation.

7:02 am

FMitch

well done you, I am lacking in the larger numbers but enjoying the foraging for them.

7:02 am

NonoNanette

wtg Scrabbs no more 8's to worry about for you

7:02 am

Scrabbler

But the 8 cannot be extended so the 9 must be unrelated.

7:02 am

NonoNanette

totally unrelated

7:03 am

lynxxx

Scrabbler

I just found an offer for free bricks on craigslist.com. We need bricks for the border of the garden we are making for my friend, Mary.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Bye Nanette + FM.

7:22 am

Dorens

nice find scrabs. also, nice pl** to make Mary a garden

7:22 am

Scrabbler

Am I all alone with the lurkers now?

7:23 am

Dorens

I have eight minutes to play

7:23 am

Dorens

ooh i mean to pl**

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Doren! Yes, we sweated lots yesterday afternoon and created a beautiful garden.

7:24 am

Scrabbler

I have the word already and it is early, so you don't have to go to the PB.

7:24 am

Dorens

in her yard?

7:25 am

elder

Good afternoon everyone.

7:25 am

Dorens

new word. albina... person lacking pigmentation-- hi elder. and thanks for the grace scrabbler

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes, in her yard. She wanted a Mary's Garden--a place to rest and to pray. And we got it done. It is about 10 x 8 ft and has about 12 plants/flowers. I will plant the bulbs with the kids this week. A brick border needs to be placed. Next spring we can add annuals and shepherd hooks for hanging plants.

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Hi Elder

7:26 am

Dorens

oh that is lovely scrabbler.

7:27 am

Scrabbler

I am SO happy that we did this. She is in the hospital again so it will be several days before she sees it.

7:27 am

Dorens

Elder, that was one of my favorite books too. You've been to her house in Amsterdam? It took my breath away

7:28 am

elder

Srabbs hoe hard you must have all worked. Mary will see and love and effort you have all made for her as a place of sanctuary, prayer and peace.

7:29 am

elder

Doreens, no, I have not as yet, its on my list of to do.

7:29 am

elder

Srabbs. should have read 'hard'.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

We were dripping with sweat and covered with mud, but I didn't even care. And I am so sore today. But her suffering far exceeds ours.

7:30 am

Dorens

oh elder, if the book meant that much to you, it is definitely a thing to do. To stand there looking out her window, and see the scenes she saw... And it has been put together in such a sensitive way. At the end of the tour, there is a room with computers all set up with all sorts of information, interviews with Miep, etc. You will never forget it. And Scrabbler, that is the sort of hard work that doesn't feel hard, I imagine

7:31 am

Scrabbler

How emotional that must have been, Doren.

7:31 am

elder

Doreens, I think, in our world of rushing and sometimes greed, we need to stop and acknowledge the past and try to learn.

7:31 am

Dorens

totally

7:32 am

Dorens

well, time for me to rush (!) to yoga class. enjoy the day, and I'll see you later

7:32 am

Scrabbler

And we need to understand that people have suffered, had hope, and persevered through the ages. Some people think they are the only ones to suffer.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Bye Doren.

7:33 am

elder

Bye Dorens.:)

7:34 am

elder

Ditto, Scrabbs but of course being humans we do forget, but try to get back on track as often as possible.

7:34 am

elder

has anyone heard from Lickerty/ family?.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

mrp was here briefly the other day.

7:37 am

Bye Srabbs,, and you like wise. bye for now.

9:47 am

FMitch

I have a diagonal line greyed

9:47 am

joshuavorbis

there's an official scrabble game on facebook now, it's ok even if it's not as cool as scrabulous

9:47 am

hurshy

oh wait i meant before. with facebook. i dunno about the site itself although it may be related.

9:47 am

hurshy

there's also wordscraper by the makers of scrabulous

9:48 am

phaeton

well, now it is godaddy.com

9:48 am

joshuavorbis

i don't care for wordscraper very much

9:48 am

carleekat

OH>.i greyed out the bottom L...<happy dance>

9:48 am

phaeton

i've never tried wordscraper, where is that?

9:49 am

hurshy

on facebook

9:49 am

phaeton

do you have to be a member to play on facebook?

9:49 am

hurshy

yeah you have to register and download the app. it's free though.

9:49 am

ursh

scrabulous site says "this site on coffee break - sorry for the inconvenience" ????

9:49 am

phaeton

ok, thanks

9:50 am

phaeton

i know you can play on pogo, but my puter doesn't like pogo

9:51 am

phaeton

ursh, that's what it said friday, then on saturday it said godaddy.com, maybe they are trying to do a deal with hasbro

9:51 am

kje

watching mccain interview on this week... hmmm

9:52 am

hurshy

i think i'd prefer the apocalypse to having to live through any more of these interminable election cycles

9:52 am

Dorens

which station kj?

9:53 am

kje

it's all political talk.. both sides... truth is in there SOMEWHERE... at least I would like to believe that

9:53 am

dcseain

ursh, it's been replaced by Wordscraper

9:53 am

FMitch

h is now grey too, finally a little progress

9:53 am

dcseain

cause hasbro has a crappy Scrabble Beta

9:53 am

Haz1558

If the electorate are tired, can you imagine how exhausted the candidates must be?

9:53 am

kje

abc?

9:53 am

joshuavorbis

i hope the candidates are tired - that would mean they would take a break now and again

9:53 am

hurshy

we don't like it, they don't like it, only the pundits like it...

9:54 am

kje

even the pundits seem to be getting annoyed

9:54 am

Dorens

i don't even know if the pundits do.... they seem to be at a loss for new words, and are beginning to seem bored (or is that boring?)

9:54 am

Haz1558

I reckon America will be full of grumpy people by the time they vote.

9:54 am

dcseain

this round, i agree, haz

9:55 am

joshuavorbis

i now have a more accurate icon for my state this morning

9:55 am

hurshy

but it's one of those things... who was the philosopher who came up with that thing about how if two people have a game where if they both choose A everyone is best off, if one chooses B then that one is better off than the one who chooses A, and if both choose B it sucks for everyone... that's what this is.

9:55 am

FMitch

Isn't there the fear of burn out with all the coverage and that voters jest get so fed up that lots don't vote?

9:55 am

Dorens

don't know fm... there really is a world of difference between these two

9:56 am

hurshy

but you're forgetting the sunk cost trap, fmitch. we'll all be like, i'm not having lived through all of THAT and not even getting a vote out of it.

9:56 am

Haz1558

And let's hope there's no glitches in the voting system.

9:56 am

FMitch

ROFL josh

9:56 am

kje

no, I don't think so, FM, cuz, unfortunately, I don't think most people pay attention... just voting from soundbites, not reality or thought

9:57 am

phaeton

a clue for the al7?

9:57 am

Haz1558

That's excellent, josh. You would get my sympathy, but wasn't it you who had such a good time recently that you couldn't remember it?

9:57 am

Haz1558

al7 - relating to those with pigmentation issues?

9:57 am

hurshy

lacking pigment

9:57 am

gfsfgf

hey guys

9:57 am

kje

: ) josh

9:58 am

joshuavorbis

it's actually not like me to get crazy like i did last night - i guess i had to blow off some steam

9:58 am

phaeton

would help if i used the right A!

9:58 am

10:03 am

hurshy

now you all know what silly words my monkeys try

10:03 am

kje

hursh, you and my dad would get along well - when I was a teenager my friends would call and ask "Is Kathy there?" and he would say yes.... and nothing else

10:04 am

Haz1558

Well, we know you're looking for nu5 anyway...

10:04 am

hurshy

no, i have an nu5, i'm listless and seeing if there are any more.

10:04 am

FMitch

Oh my Father used to do that when a boyfriend phoned!

10:05 am

Haz1558

Stop the search.

10:11 am

Hugabugs

oh Dee... I'll miss you

10:11 am

Haz1558

cu5/16 - remove the last two letters from something soft you might sit on, then rearrange the letters slightly. It has an 'approximates to' ending.

10:11 am

hurshy

thanks

10:11 am

joshuavorbis

just got the cu5 - sort of like the stick you use in billiards or snooker

10:11 am

FMitch

I'll drop you an email Hugs over the next day or so :)

Isn't he just kje :)

10:18 am

VolleymomDee

I found the 8; did anyone call the 9?

10:18 am

joshuavorbis

don't worry, it's only a matter of time before i start picking on you again, kje

10:18 am

dcseain

pl 9

10:18 am

hurshy

hey DC, question for you - how did you get them to show up properly? mine showed up properly BEFORE i posted and then i posted and they were all wrapped.

10:18 am

kje

LOL josh - I was so enjoying the reprieve

10:18 am

VolleymomDee

thx dc!

10:19 am

FMitch

pl7 & 9

10:19 am

10:19 am

yesterday's stats.

10:19 am

hurshy

on babanon.

10:20 am

ty fm

10:20 am

dcseain

oh, i copied what was there, pasted into a Google Doc, put in the returns, copied, and pasted the reply.

10:20 am

joshuavorbis

can i get a nudge on the an7?

10:20 am

joshuavorbis

no wait i got it, nm

10:20 am

dcseain

name the Egytian god!

10:20 am

kje

I'll take a clue then...

10:20 am

hurshy

do you suppose doing it from excel would also work or does it have to be carriage returns?

10:21 am

FMitch

nudges jush anyway just for the heck of it :)

10:21 am

FMitch

excel works fine hurshy, thats what I use when posting stats on BabAnon

10:21 am

hurshy

ok

10:21 am

dcseain

i think it needs carriage returns; i copied from my doc to a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet copy usually results in pasting a table, which without HTML formatting, won't work

10:22 am

hurshy

hmm ok

10:22 am

joshuavorbis

an7 - an5 + past tense

10:22 am

dcseain

and FM is in the know.

10:22 am

FMitch

does for me dc

10:22 am

dcseain

kje, one plants an7 to grow a food i'm allergic too.

10:22 am

inge

da

10:22 am

FMitch

lol

10:22 am

VolleymomDee

great clue josh

10:22 am

dcseain

i've never tried from a spreasheet.

10:22 am

kje

I don't like it either dc

10:23 am

kje

ty for the clue

10:23 am

hurshy

i'm not allergic to it but it is gross-a-roo

10:23 am

FMitch

I love excel I admit it here and now *grin*

10:23 am

dcseain

i actually like the flavour of the bulb, but it makes me sick. i get hives from touching the fronds, or things that have touched the fronds.

10:23 am

dcseain

made casheiring fun :)

10:24 am

dcseain

Excel rocks! so with you, FM

10:24 am

dcseain

cashiering rather

10:24 am

Dorens

i put fennel in cole slaw recently, verynice tasting, but probably not if you don't like an***. they do taste similar

10:24 am

hurshy

here is a tip: jello makes chocolate fudge flavor instant pudding mix, and devil's food flavor. the devil's food flavor is MUCH deliciouser.

10:25 am

dcseain

fennel and an5 are both in the carrot family, i can only eat Carrots, Celery, Celery Seed and Dill Weed in that family.

10:25 am

kje

i like fennel, though.. anise is slightly different though

10:25 am

dcseain

good to know, hurshy, ty

10:25 am

hurshy

regular celery!

10:25 am

dcseain

i've never seen fennel fresh

10:25 am

Hugabugs

kje to the PB lol

10:25 am

hurshy

really? my fennel ALWAYS talks back to me

10:26 am

dcseain

regular celery is in carrot family, yes.

10:26 am

Dorens

a strange plant showed up at the edge of my property this summer... looks like dill or fennel, and i can't figure out which it is. nice leafy fronds, but not strong flavor either way

10:26 am

VolleymomDee

I have 8 gl words; how many more please?

10:26 am

kje

ummm love fresh fennel... it is in the grocery stores up there dc

10:26 am

dcseain

LOL Hursh

10:26 am

kje

oh shoot! no fair!!!! I was sucked into that conversation!!!!

10:26 am

FMitch

Reallydc - the fennel bit is the bulb part underground

10:26 am

Dorens

i think it adds great flavor to tossed salads

10:27 am

FMitch

I love it raw but not cooked.

10:27 am

JBV

good morning, and seems I come in just to time to offer my fennel tip - try braising it lightly in olive oil as a side dish or to add to rice, etc.

10:27 am

kje

makes a great risotto too

10:27 am

dcseain

okay, never seen fresh anise then :)

ursh

I was enjoying scrabulous blitz (totally useless tho) and am sorry to see scrabulous.com not available

12:01 pm

dcseain

in Facebook, Wordscraper replaced Scrabbulous, possibly also on the web, as Hasbro now has a crappy, clunky, Scrabble Beta.

12:02 pm

ursh

oh ok tx dc - not big on facebook - was playing on their .com site and wondered if they had also been lawyered out

12:02 pm

VolleymomDee

kielbasa is a polish/central EU preserved sausage.

3:51 pm

dcseain

3:51 pm

cybernan

oops -- hold that thought -- have to go rake pine needles for a bit

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

is veggie kielbasa good, dc?

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

haven't tried that

3:51 pm

EspritdJean

not preserved just highly seasoned and smoked

3:51 pm

dcseain

Tofurkey brand is good.

3:51 pm

dcseain

smoking is preserving, jean.

3:51 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, ok, thanks for the recommendation!

3:52 pm

dcseain

but, point taken, smoking is differnt from dried, which is what is usually meant by 'preserved'

3:52 pm

Uneaixoise

I always use SmartGround in my chili and no one can tell the difference!

3:52 pm

EspritdJean

I like the last "no smoking" I saw . . . . If you're smoking you'd better be on fire!

3:52 pm

dcseain

I use Quorn 'ground beef'.

3:53 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

3:53 pm

Uneaixoise

not familiar with that brand, dc

3:53 pm

Uneaixoise

my daughter put me onto SmartGround 'cause Morningstar Farms has a lot of preservatives

3:53 pm

dcseain

Quorn is on the freezer in yellow bags/boxes, here, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Wegmans and Safeway all carry it.

3:54 pm

dcseain

yes, though Morningstar's fake bacon is yummy :)

3:54 pm

Uneaixoise

great! we have Whole Foods and Harris Teeter

3:55 pm

dcseain

her, HT is more expensive than WFM for Quorn, just so you know.

3:56 pm

dcseain

er, here

3:56 pm

Uneaixoise

here they're expensive, period :-)

3:56 pm

GroovyKiwi

3:56 pm

GroovyKiwi

3:57 pm

Uneaixoise

are you a big carnivore, kiwi?! LOL

3:57 pm

dcseain

TJs carries mostly store-brand stuff of good quality, with an emphasis on pre-pack prepared and frozen foods. The have some staples, but not useful for eveything if one is cooking.

3:57 pm

GroovyKiwi

3:58 pm

Uneaixoise

good to know--really like fresh stuff . . . but it's getting to be solid gold!

3:58 pm

dcseain

Quorn is from Englad

3:59 pm

GroovyKiwi

TJ's frozen veggie onion soup is very yummy :)

4:00 pm

dcseain

4:00 pm

Uneaixoise

dc, I just did a search for my zip on their homepage (Quorn) and the only story in Nashville is really far from where I live . . . oh, well

4:00 pm

GroovyKiwi

because our meat is so sought after overseas it bumps up the prices on the home front too

4:01 pm

dcseain

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, nrkii, that it's not a torn rotator cuff.

5:04 pm

nrkii

had x-rays and such when it happened, and doctor said it was a bruised deltoid muscle... it doesn't hurt that bad, all things considered, so I don't think I did anything permanent to it

5:05 pm

nrkii

as long as I keep moving it, I think I'll recover

5:05 pm

CiociaJudy

whew! good to hear that nrkii

5:05 pm

nrkii

the problems start when you stop moving it, which is really tempting

5:05 pm

dcseain

good news all that nrkii.

5:06 pm

nrkii

in fact, I need to finish this grid soon, because typing is not really good therapy :)

KimS

5:18 pm

dcseain

penalty?

5:19 pm

KimS

something about an imaginary penalty box they have running or something...? Were different people on last night :o)

5:19 pm

for typing in a grid word into the chat (as you just did Kim) you get to go to the fictitious Penalty Box

5:20 pm

KimS

yeah - that was it!! Ohhh I was bad last night - kept forgetting where my cursor was <sigh> First time talking here......

5:20 pm

KimS

lase

5:20 pm

KimS

lasin

5:20 pm

nrkii

2 "penalties" -- if you type a word in the chat, you go to the penalty box as Lynxxx says... or if you ask for a clue for a really easy word, you might end up getting fish with your clue

5:27 pm

KimS

hhhmmmmmmmmm

5:27 pm

KimS

am I understanding that the word is cu + 1 more letter, and worth 5 points? did I get that right?

5:28 pm

dcseain

congarts, nrkii, and take care.

5:28 pm

KimS

nope - word has to be at least 4 letters, so I know I'm wrong.... :o(

5:28 pm

dcseain

cu5/16 is the word

5:28 pm

KimS

okay - I am just not cluing in here to the cu5/16 thing...

5:28 pm

KimS

okay - I am just not cluing in here to the cu5/16 thing...

5:28 pm

KimS

16 points right?

5:29 pm

KimS

but the cu5 ??

5:29 pm

dcseain

yes, so for a 5 letter word, the tiles add up to 8.

5:29 pm

jacq

5 letters long

5:29 pm

elder

Dcs.. interesting the clue from American Babblers about star. I understood it to be bout armour/ shield.

5:29 pm

jacq

the word itself is worth 8 points but it's doubled for a 5 letter word, trebbled for a 6 and so on

5:30 pm

KimS

ahhhhh - okay - - so a word that means wish, starting with cu ???

5:30 pm

flosey

back again, phone call.

5:30 pm

elder

Dcs.. the CU /5 I meant

5:30 pm

pugmama763

5:30 pm

flosey

Do we have another new babbler? cgypsy? haven't seen that name before, Welcome

5:31 pm

dcseain

it's a Disney song "When you wi4 upon a star, makes no differenc who you are..."

5:31 pm

KimS

ohhhhh - well dang..... Good thing though - cause I couldn't come up with the word hahahahaha

5:31 pm

KimS

this is obviously like piglatin - -I never got that either <chuckle>

5:31 pm

pugmama763

he meant cu + when you w*** upon a star

5:32 pm

dcseain

oh, my puns are often clues, rather my clues are often puns

5:32 pm

elder

Am off, to place weary head on the pillow. Goodnight everyone. Take care. See you all ( and new babblers) again.

5:32 pm

KimS

I am being really dense here - cause I don't have a flaming clue what word you're trying to get me to "get"

5:32 pm

elder

LOL byee.

5:33 pm

pugmama763

Kim everyone has their own style of cluing & sometimes you just won't get it & need a reclue

5:33 pm

dcseain

When you cu5 upon a star... a word starting with CU, of 5 letters, that rhymes with the correct word for that phrase.

5:33 pm

dcseain

well said, pug :)

5:34 pm

pugmama763

some player are extremely cryptic

5:34 pm

jacq

kim instead of using while words we use part of the word and then stars the cu is given in two parts the start cu, followed by the clue "when you w*** upon a star fill in the blanks and add to the cu
