4:35 am

grannyrose

tomato and orange, thinking of leaving out the orange and lemon zest this time... it was quite an unexpected taste..

4:35 am

mattygroves

I quite like citrus in things, though with the acidity of the tomato it might be a bit much.

4:35 am

mattygroves

phaeton

ty peri

8:36 am

periwinkle

yw

8:36 am

phaeton

yes...is4/6...never seen it before

8:37 am

moolingwa

I believe it has a similar word with a different vowel ending that is also good

8:38 am

periwinkle

the fo7 is similar to the no7 as it is also a compound

8:38 am

moolingwa

yes, but I believe it means a thief

8:38 am

phaeton

un5?

8:38 am

moolingwa

similar to the in5 phae

8:39 am

periwinkle

not appropriate or suitable

9:06 am

therealblah

Vicuna

There are two in5's. You can exchange only one for un.

9:33 am

car.eeyore

Hi

9:33 am

car.eeyore

What we had to do for this storm is in the grid! BA 6/24 down the hatches!

9:34 am

hego

yup!

9:34 am

moolingwa

storm, what storm...it's going to be 71 here today :)

9:34 am

car.eeyore

Blizzard here. Starting much slower than they expected though. Still 12'+ expected

9:34 am

hego

I remember snow days with the kids home and stuck in the house. Oh boy!

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Mine are quiet right now. It's more of an issue keeping mom occupied at this point.

9:35 am

moolingwa

it's been unseasonably warm here this fall/winter

9:35 am

moolingwa

expecting a record high of 76 tomorrow

9:35 am

car.eeyore

And my hubby and I are both working from home, but the health aide isn't coming.

9:35 am

car.eeyore

I'm on my way moolingwa!

9:36 am

moolingwa

yeah, wouldn't advise anyone drive in that kind of snow fall

9:36 am

hego

Been pretty good here up till now.

9:37 am

moolingwa

down to the last 10

9:37 am

car.eeyore

stats please for the lower i?

9:37 am

penquis

is 4/6...

9:38 am

penquis

never seen the word...

9:38 am

cybernan

I thought bi 5 was both singular and plural --- the bi 6 is like saying mooses for more than oe moose

9:38 am

moolingwa

it's an uncommon one with very unusual letter combo

9:38 am

hego

weird

9:39 am

moolingwa

deers and sheeps I believe both worth too nan

9:39 am

car.eeyore

The wind just ramped up as if someone turned on a large fan...wow!

9:39 am

cybernan

whoever compiled this dictionary obviously did not speak english as his/her first language

9:40 am

car.eeyore

ty

9:40 am

bichon

car, where are you? We're having thunder snow

9:40 am

hego

I believe that Nan

9:40 am

moolingwa

well the latest updates to the scrabble dictionary have things like tiz, tix and rez in them

9:41 am

car.eeyore

Awesome Bichon! South Shore Massachusetts

9:41 am

cybernan

ridiculous, isn't it

9:41 am

moolingwa

In the version they use here, they even have a bogus word...emfs...which was actually a typo

9:41 am

penquis

i think they include words like that so people will buy the latest edition...

9:41 am

moolingwa

it got removed in the next version

9:41 am

bichon

There was lightening too

9:41 am

car.eeyore

I googled Enable the other day...it doesn't even come up as a dictionary option any more. Dr. God should really reset it with another one.

9:42 am

moolingwa

Well the dictionary is more a reflection of competitive scrabble players driving the adoption of words

9:42 am

moolingwa

not really driven by hasbro

9:43 am

cybernan

maybe trump will sign another royal decree to have enable banned

9:43 am

moolingwa

and then the governing "body" so to speak, changes...so the types of words that get adopted changes

9:43 am

moolingwa

the last couple of updates have tended to the more "liberal side"

9:45 am

EvaNadine

good morning, babblers!

9:45 am

bichon

If I don't buy Ivanka's brand, do I get sent to jail?

9:45 am

cybernan

hi eva

9:46 am

cybernan

only if you own a clothing store, bich

9:46 am

moolingwa

hey eva

9:46 am

hego

Is there a discrepancy with the b's?

9:46 am

moolingwa

I don't buy Ivanka's brand either...I'm not so much into dresses and blouses

9:47 am

cybernan

no - I have them all

9:47 am

hego

ty I found the one I'm missing.

9:48 am

hego

bbl. Good day All

9:48 am

hego

oops!

9:49 am

cybernan

bye hego

9:49 am

MollyL

Bichon, you got your picture uploaded. Very nice. You two are so adventuresome.

9:51 am

bichon

Yes, it was an outstanding experience. It was getting dark at 10 AM

9:56 am

cybernan

ohhh -- hubby reading paper -- apollo died!

9:56 am

rururocks

Apollo?

9:57 am

MollyL

That would be Richard Hatch for all you non-Battlestar Galactica fans

9:57 am

cybernan

richard hatch - battlestar galactica

9:57 am

cybernan

lol - ty molly

9:57 am

MollyL

You may also know him from All My Children and Streets of San Francisco

9:58 am

cybernan

another of the dark and handsome ones gone...

9:59 am

rururocks

so you could say that Apollo went down the hatch?

10:01 am

MollyL

Richard Hatch was on All My Children when it first started

10:02 am

cybernan

I didn't watch it or the SF one, but did like battlestar - it had some good actors in the cast

10:04 am

cybernan

of course we'd probably watch now and groan, just like with reruns of startrek

10:04 am

rururocks

I have no idea what battlestar galactica is

10:04 am

moolingwa

ah yes, cylons

10:07 am

moolingwa

sci-fi show originally from the 80s...believe they did a modern version

10:07 am

MollyL

Think Star Trek Ru

10:07 am

cybernan

google it, ruru -- also had Lorne Greene and Dirk Benedict in the cast. There was a remake of it around 15 years ago I think -- not as good to my mind.

10:09 am

penquis

i thought it was way better....darker.....lasted longer, too....

10:10 am

cybernan

couldn't get around apollo being female, pen

10:10 am

cybernan

or was it starbuck?

10:11 am

penquis

it was starbuck...

10:11 am

moolingwa

I guess if you never saw the originally you wouldn't know

10:11 am

cybernan

and didn't like the new adama as well as lorne greene

10:12 am

penquis

ah well.....i just thought the stories were better written....ongoing plot was interesting....

10:14 am

rururocks

Starbuck's was latte wasn't it?

10:15 am

cybernan

I think if a remake came along now, I might be more open to it --- it was too soon after the original for a remake, I think

10:17 am

penquis

15 years wasn't long enough for you, huh?... ;o)

10:17 am

JBsAnno

I'm home with a cold today. ruru's comment on Starbuck really got me caffeine.

10:19 am

rururocks

:D

10:22 am

penquis

i am done...

10:24 am

10:29 am

MollyL

You can mocha all the Starbucks comments you want. I'll keep brewing mine at home.

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

jb, snow day!

10:31 am

bichon

Getting your coffee out is soooo expensive

10:39 am

MollyL

Starbucks coffee is ridiculously expensive.

10:39 am

rururocks

happy that everyone feels free to espresso themselves

10:40 am

moolingwa

maybe we can leave the rest of the puns to much latte

10:41 am

rururocks

mool is trying to roast us

10:41 am

bichon

We have Dunkin' Donuts here and it's much less expensive.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

bichon, i saw a license plate bichon-z last night.

10:42 am

bichon

12:34 pm

m9f9l

Oh wow.. if you get a bunch of rain on top of the snow, you may flood?

12:34 pm

That's what I'm worried about here.

12:34 pm

Trifioso

12:35 pm

m9f9l

12:35 pm

I am not near enough to the shore for it to be an issue in my neighborhood, but many coastal areas may see flooding today

12:35 pm

m9f9l

I had to get help with that one too.

12:36 pm

Our town is founded on such rocky ground that we get flooding from under the ground in our basement.

The water table rises too fast.
