hi liz -- everything still ok with you?
12:14 am
Lizlin

Yes - much better today. We just arrived home this morning. We were actually in Melbourne for a wedding and had no idea how our house was - feared the worst, especially after our flight was cancelled on Thursday but actually everything was OK.
12:14 am
Lizlin

The park behind our house is now a river!
12:15 am
hurshy

:O
12:15 am
Lizlin

We were so lucky - there was loads of flooding around here.
12:15 am
Lizlin

We could see so much of the flooding as we flew in this morning.
12:16 am
hurshy

that must have been quite an experience
12:17 am
Lizlin

The stress of not knowing was the worst. But compared to others we were very lucky.

1:46 am
grannyrose

awww that's so good darling.
1:47 am
sprite

did the children have a good time in church?
1:48 am
grannyrose

given the amount of paint, bits of paper, dominoes, skittles, balls spread everywhere, i opine that they did. and so did i.
1:49 am
sprite

hehehe good for you! I love it, the way you are involved in all those church activities. You must be such an inspirational force there.
1:52 am
grannyrose

i hope so dear. and every time i go into the hospital, the big guy seems to put me in a room with either a fellow christian or someone who needs support.
1:53 am
sprite

:) that is great. As long as He remembers to put you in with someone supportive when you need that
1:54 am
grannyrose

he does dear. the times when i need support, the pastoral care worker calls on me, and no-one else.
1:55 am
sprite

ah, that is wonderful. *gives the big guy a huge thumbs-up*
1:55 am
grannyrose

*grins*
1:58 am
sprite

I will attend summer school of the heart academy this summer and I am going to teach one period. Theme is 'Reality and Illusion'. Am already having all kinds of ideas! Gonna write a story, followed by a guided fantasy/visualisation, and round it up with painting a (very real) rock.
1:59 am
sprite

spluid - when you spill something fluid and it splatters all over the place
2:00 am
grannyrose

what about the ads for clothing? showing those ultra-thin models? reality is the majority of the population ARE NOT THIN.
2:00 am
sprite

yeah, and so many schoolgirls feel fat because of them
2:02 am

Rufie becomes more fierce and also more affectionate every day. He's even started doing "puppy things", funny since he's 5.
3:59 am
zoozzoom

Oh bless him. Not sure about the fierce bit though..As long as it is not directed at you or genral public. Intruders is okay though to do it too though :-)

4:18 am

If you want A clue, Matty, just let me know.
4:25 am
zoozzoom

There are 222 words today but I hate to think how many words and non-words we actually type in by the time we have finished lol
4:38 am
MollyL

There are plenty of non-words in this one
4:38 am
zoozzoom

Yep I thinnk I have found most of those lol
4:40 am
zoozzoom

Well I am down to 59 words to find. Better go and cut my hair. Happy babbling everyone!
4:41 am
MollyL

Enable really bugs me. If you look up that el6 it refers to an 8 word with the Latin ending. Does Enable accept that? Hell no.
4:41 am
MollyL

It wouldn't be legit in this grid, because you would have to use the E twice, but I just wanted to see if it was accepted.
5:36 am

Hello, I'm back. Lunch was delivered and the dopey boy who wlks the dogs on the weekends was here

Hahah and this kid's name is Idou, a synonym for idiot! I had to show himhow to use a rake -- and he's about 17!

6:12 am

Finally got the SN 8
6:12 am
zoozzoom

Nice one!
6:15 am
MollyL

The difficulty in this game is how the words are sometimes laid out in the grid. The soup server words are all up-down, which is not how our brains are used to reading
6:16 am
MollyL

Then you get all used to looking for words that way and you can miss one that is spelled out left to right across the bottom of the grid. : D
6:16 am
sukee

For sure :)
6:17 am
zoozzoom

Well after you said that I tried mosel just in case :-)
6:18 am
zoozzoom

And visa-versa of course.
6:18 am
mattygroves

Me too!
6:18 am
sukee

still need 10 Ws
6:18 am
MollyL

: D We had one the other day that was spelled out across the bottom and I didn't see it for a while because I was so busy reading right to left and upside down
6:19 am
zoozzoom

Yes that was on the 27th and the word was' Other' :-)
6:20 am
MollyL

Zoom, I worry that you have such things committed to memory
6:21 am
zoozzoom

Nope not to memory. I too remember there was a word across the bottom so did a quick check on the archives to see :-)
6:21 am
mattygroves

Am I missing something really obvious with the la6/33?
6:22 am
zoozzoom

To have as much as possible on ones legs..like a child for instance.
6:23 am
zoozzoom

Do not forget to plural :-)
6:23 am
MollyL

I would not consider that an "obvious" word. It's actually kind of a clunky word.
6:25 am
mattygroves

OK, looking :)
6:25 am
mattygroves

OK, should have seen that. Forgot about that suffix. Thanks!
6:25 am
mattygroves

I was stuck on the idea there was going to be a ph in there
6:25 am
MollyL

And why is the hi6 version of that word not allowed. If you can have a la6 full of a toddler, you can certainly have a hi6 of him, if you are carrying him
6:26 am
zoozzoom

LOL
6:26 am
sukee

Ty Molly, that finally gave me the word :)
6:27 am
zoozzoom

I still wonder why the acronym, AW 4& 5 is allowed.
6:28 am
MollyL

If anyone is a Stephen King fan, the trailer for the new movie based on his novel "It" is extremely creepy.
6:28 am
sukee

I think I will pass on that :)
6:29 am
mattygroves

I've seen it - it looks good...and very creepy
6:29 am
mattygroves

I'm quite the King fan
6:29 am
zoozzoom

Must go look for the trailer.
6:29 am
mattygroves

No sign of the Losers' Club as adults though. There is one bit of the book that was left out of the TV adaptation and hopefully will be left out of the new movie...
6:31 am
MollyL

The sex bit? I thought that was a very cheap shot from King.
6:31 am
MollyL

And I am a big fan.
6:31 am
mattygroves

Yeah - it was just wrong. Really discordant.
6:32 am
mattygroves

It's a shame because the rest of the book is so good
6:33 am
sukee

Finally, nbt
6:33 am
sukee

Taking a break, take care all.
6:35 am
MollyL

I have read a lot of fan reaction to that story and that part seems universally disliked.
6:35 am
zoozzoom

Just watched the trailer. Looks like it is a good film to watch!
6:35 am
MollyL

My son is hoping the new version deals more with the smoke lodge and The Ritual of Chud.
6:42 am
mattygroves

I could see that
6:45 am
MollyL

He has a point, in that it is a big part of the story. Where "It" came from and how to defeat it.
6:46 am
mattygroves

Also, with the turtle, it ties it in to the Dark Tower
6:46 am
MollyL

The TV version was limited by time and what they could get away with on TV.
6:47 am
zoozzoom

So I take it that I should read the book before seeing the film then?
6:47 am
mattygroves

Indeed. With a pretty crap spide special effect. But heh, it was the 80s
6:48 am
MollyL

I'm a little miffed that this film version will be set in the 80's as far as when the kids were young. But hey, they are trying to attract a different age group I guess.
6:54 am
mattygroves

So they're doing the 'thirty year ago' from the present day, rather than from the 80s...like if they remade Back to the Future for now!
6:56 am
MollyL

Yeah, and parts of the story don't seem to work for that. 80's kids didn't sail boats made of newspaper down the rain swollen street. In the 80's there were no drug stores like the one Eddie got his inhaler from. And other such things that just don't transfer up thirty years.

9:37 am

well.. that sounds cute helens.. but I better keep my lips shut here :D
9:37 am

Thought to indicate a cock's comb - though why we should think waggling it meant anything more (on the part of the cock) than that he is moving his head!

House name is not quite how it looks a double ll is a letter of its own in the Welsh alphabet, and I don;t have an English equivalent phonetic, but you can make the sound easily - to pronounce ll you put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, right upo to and touching your top teeth and then you kins of blow and a llll sound comes out LOL
1:44 pm
bichon

It wouldn't ever work for me
1:45 pm
Glantarell

Welsh is incredibly consistent. Once you can pronounce each of the 28 letters, it is always pronounced the same way - except for Y, which is pronounced either 'i' as in 'if' or uh, depends where in the word it is.

I don't understand either, say it's human nature
2:43 pm

i do it for two reasons - 1) i'm excited about the word because i like it and i think it's a nice word that we don't often get in the grid, or 2) it's a very weird one that I'm sure a lot of people would want a clue for anyway.

The flip is maniacal insanity.
2:48 pm

helpful is correct and when I was at flip finding words in the beginning such as a 7 is exciting against others doing the same thing at the same time sometimes

yes, and if trolls come around the rest of us CAN turn off the chat. but i prefer to be thoughtful than insist on my rights, whenever i can reasonably do so.
