I am agonizing over an9, does anyone have a clue?
3:22 am
sprite

hi flosey :)
3:27 am
flosey

there are 2 x an9, have the first one, they are both an9/66
3:41 am
sprite

an9/66: first 4 of a book consisting of short stories + plural for speeding contest
3:42 am
flosey

aha, thanks Sprite, got it, whew!!
3:42 am
sprite

yvw :)
3:50 am
melissamay

Good day all, does anyone know if the ac8 is related to the ac7? Or have a clue for ac8?
3:50 am
sprite

hi melissa :)
3:50 am
melissamay

Hi hi hi sprite!
3:51 am
flosey

hello melissa, just looking for that one now myself
3:52 am
melissamay

Hiya flosey, long time no chat. Been cuckoo busy...husband and I just bought our first house together :)
3:52 am
sprite

oh wow, congrats! I hope you will be very happy in it.
3:52 am
flosey

how lovely, melissa
3:53 am
melissamay

thank you so much! I can't believe we found it. We live in Portland OR and real estate here is bonkers. We were very lucky. And I love, love, love our new little home.
3:54 am
melissamay

It's not a fashion part of town, but it's covered in tall Douglas Firs, like living in the forest. So many hummingbirds, hawks, birds I've never seen before...I still feel like it's a dream.
3:55 am
sprite

I don't think they are related
3:56 am
melissamay

I don't either, because no forms meet up..but can't imagine what that ac8 could possibly be. I'm sure someone will figure it out!
3:58 am
flosey

Melissa, have taken the sites, will listen to you tomorrow
3:59 am
sprite

ok, here goes.
Ac8/55: first 4 of sharp, sudden. Last 4 of to move rhythmically on music.
3:59 am
melissamay

I do like this puzzle though...so many unusual words to chew on. I might not get through it, but I like it! Ah flosey, that's kind.
4:00 am
melissamay

ooooh goood clue Sprite!
4:00 am
sprite

thanks :)
4:00 am
melissamay

thank you so much, you clever girl.
4:01 am
sprite

yvw and I can be very very stupid!
4:02 am
melissamay

I was feeling all sophisticated just for finding the ac7, but ac8 was a special doozy I think. sprite, not that I've seen, but can't we all.
4:03 am
sprite

it means: a measure of the sharpness with which a film can reproduce the edge of an object
4:03 am
flosey

and thanks Sprite for the ac8 clue, have never heard that word
4:03 am
flosey

aha, and now I can understand why I haven't!
4:04 am

*giggles* All the knowledge we gather here which we will never ever need :D

melissamay

I love it. I keep a long list of words I learn through here that I like the sound/meaning of, it's one of my favorite things about puzzling words here.
4:05 am
melissamay

even though I will never, ever need them...I love collecting them, like pretty rocks from an ocean of language.
4:05 am
sprite

ikr! Same here. I love learning new words. Especially the ones I'd never have considered possible. Like the pt- and jn-words, and the 'vowelless' words, and such.

sprite, what always astounded me are people like you doing it in your second, or third, or fourth language...how totally mindblowing. I have middling reading ability in a few romance languages but the thought of doing puzzles like these in them...holy smokes.

I couldn't do it in french, melissa. In german I might be able to do it, though not all the way through to fireworks.
4:08 am

In german there'd be too many 12 and 13 pointers to ever finish. :)

roflollll ain't that the truth!
4:16 am

I also play a word game called wordament. you can chose between about five different languages. I did try a couple and oh my! Well lets just say it was just pure guess work to find any words in the short time allowed to find any lol
4:16 am
sprite

hiya zooz *hugs* I don't really enjoy the games with time limits, to be honest
4:17 am
zoozzoom

No I do not either, Sprite, that is why I love babble so much. I can take my time and enjoy finding the words :-)
4:17 am
zoozzoom

*hugs* back at you :-)
4:17 am
sprite

exactly. And chat with friends in the meantime :) How have you been? And how are the parents?
4:18 am
melissamay

hey zooz! yes, me neither on times, unless they are super super simple. I do play wordsplay.net, but only the smallest possible grid.
4:18 am
zoozzoom

I am keeping well thanks and parents are also holding up reasonably well too. Thanks for asking :-)
4:18 am
zoozzoom

How are things with you?
4:19 am

glad to hear! I am fine. A bit busy, but things should settle now and I still very much enjoy the work.
4:19 am
zoozzoom

I have not tried that one, Mellissa! Will have to take a look and see what it is like.
4:19 am
melissamay

ooh sprite, may I ask where you are working?
4:20 am
melissamay

zoom, it's a 3 minute timed, very quick, but fun for filling a few spare minutes when surfing around. hope you like it!
4:20 am
sprite

am doing volunteer work for a telephone help service. People in trouble can call and we offer really listening, no judgement, and if possible a bit of helping them think things through.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

3 minutes not bad considering wordament only lets you have about 1 minute to find words lol
4:21 am
melissamay

oh sprite, how perfect for someone as warm and caring as you. that truly makes me happy, to know you are out there listening for people who need it so badly.
4:22 am
sprite

aw shucks! You got me blushing. I am just very glad to be able to give back to society again.
4:22 am
zoozzoom

We have that here, Spritey, It is called the samaritans.
4:23 am
melissamay

I think it's beautiful. I truly do. I've been struggling with health and out of work for some time so I know that feeling of wanting to give back...you picked a wonderful way to do that.
4:24 am
sprite

we used to be SOS telephone help desk. But a couple of years ago they hired some advertising firm and they changed it in sensoor. Sens for sensitive and oor for dutch for ear. I think it is a stupid name, but hey, I haven't studied for advertising, lol
4:24 am
sprite

thanks melissa. It feels like I am in the right place. And it humbles me to see how much suffering there is in the world. And how few people really listen to eachother.
4:25 am
zoozzoom

Well I can see the logic in the name to be honest.
4:25 am
melissamay

American ones last I checked are very blunt: like Suicide Prevention Line. Which makes me not want to call, for one, because it's hard to acknowledge things are that dark. Maybe that's changed recently, I don't know.
4:26 am
zoozzoom

((Melissa))
4:26 am
sprite

well yeah, me too. But it sounds a bit forced. But you know, being a volunteer, to me, means I don't have to worry about all that. I am not gonna fret about anything related to the organisation. Just gonna do my shifts and try and be the best volunteer I can be.
4:27 am
melissamay

Listening is perhaps the most underrated skill. So glad you are there giving that to people. Thanks for hugs, zoom. Things are better now, thankfully.
4:28 am
sprite

we have that too, here. It is called 113online and it offers both telephone and chat help. Outside office hours it is sensoor who answers their calls, so we are truly working together.
4:28 am

am so glad things are going better for you now, melissa
4:29 am

it's chronic pain and health stuff...I have a hard time accepting it. but that's improving of late. thanks for your good wishes.

I know that struggle. It really takes time learning to accept it. And finding a way to live with it that works for you.
4:31 am

Yes my father has the same problems, Melissa. What he hates the most is not being able to do what he used to be able to do and now has to rely on others to help him.
4:32 am
rubyfoo

good morning everybody. I'm not even dressed yet, slept in until almost 10!
4:32 am
melissamay

That second bit...it's really what's kicked my ass. Admitting I need a cane, that I can't shower without a seat, etc. Ugh. It's somewhat vanity but more that feeling of being small and helpless that I hate. And yes, relying overly on others, particularly my dear husband.
4:32 am
sprite

good for you, ruby! *hugs* How are you holding up, darling?
4:32 am

Yesterday was the first nice day and I even did a little gardening, but paid for it with pain
4:33 am

Hello, Ruby, it seems you needed the extra sleep.
4:33 am

as long as it was worth it, ruby... I hope you enjoyed it.
4:33 am

Gosh, way too many of us here struggling with hurt it seems. Hi ruby, hope your gardening was lovely.
4:33 am

yeah that is a tough battle. I remember crying in the store when I bought my first cane.
4:34 am
rubyfoo

It was just getting rid of some winter weeds which were encroaching on the burgeoning tulips
4:34 am
melissamay

((oh sprite.)) thank goodness for amazon, so no one had to see my face when I bought mine.
4:34 am
zoozzoom

I suppose it feels like you are losing your independance, Melissa.
4:34 am
sprite

just being outdoors and in the garden in itself is a treat, ruby. Well done you!
4:35 am
sprite

it was kinda embarrassing, melissa, but the people in the store were very kind and told me I was hardly the only one to cry. It makes it official, in a way, when you buy the darn thing.
4:36 am
sprite

it is also losing your image of yourself as you used to be. On top of things, self-sufficient, energetic. We need time to mourn that loss and to form a new self image.
4:38 am
sprite

hate to go, but duty calls. *hugs* for now.
4:38 am
zoozzoom

Ruby, I had tried to prune a couple of trees in my gardent he other day I did about five branches and I was knackered lol. Had to come in for a rest and the next day my arms and legs were aching like mad. shows how unfit I have become.
4:38 am
melissamay

yes zoom and I've always been fiercely so. so it's a powerful blow, to realize I simply cannot be. yes, it really did feel "official" and there it is leaning against the wall reminding me. I try to see it now as an extra leg, nothing more. I just want bionics to advance already, so I can run around without pain or thinking about it.
4:38 am
rubyfoo

I have my first (and I hope, only) radiation tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help the pain ease
4:38 am

Well we are all special to someone one way or another we should not be so hard on ourselves really. even though i can not help it lol
4:43 am

Yes it's just hard, esp. when you want to do for those who do so much for you.
4:46 am
zoozzoom

I think they know that and are just glad you are there for them also. We do have memories and they know how things used to be and that you can not do what you used to do. But they still love you for who you are..after all that is why you are together in the first place :-)
4:46 am
melissamay

Oh, Isle of Wight! Another place I'd love to visit. Wish there were a Babble cruise. :)
4:48 am
zoozzoom

Believe me you do not want to visit during the winter months, Mellisa, it is rather a dull place as nothing much is open as it is very much a summer tourist place. But on the good side Winter does has less people ans stunning views when the rain stops pouring down. Of which it is raining as I speak lol
4:48 am
melissamay

zoom, that's actually quite lovely. and I agree. my husband still sees a girl with stars in her eyes dancing around him for hours when he looks at me, not the hobbly wobbly reality.
4:49 am
rubyfoo

you are fortunate, Melissa. Although it was terrible, these past two years with my deteriorating husband, I miss him, now that he's gone
4:49 am
melissamay

Well I'm in Portland OR so dull rainy days are def something I do not require more of at the moment, lol. But a summer visit sounds fantastic. Believe it or not I know someone who lives there, so I really would love to visit. Just an online friendship, but one years long!
