Hallo rubyfoo! I haven't played in a long time and it's nice to see the familiar faces here.

Hi Sally and Ruby
6:06 am
Sally-catlover

Hi!
6:07 am
Scrabbler

I haven't seen you here in a long time, Sally. Are you doing well?
6:07 am
Sally-catlover

It's taking time to get back into this after a long break.
6:08 am
Scrabbler

I just finished reading, "H is for Hawk", so my head is in England right now.
6:08 am
Sally-catlover

I'm fine. It was just that i tended to use my ipad rather than my laptop and it wasn't so easy. Now I have a Bluetooth keyboard for it so I'm off!
6:09 am
Scrabbler

A Bluetooth keyboard--wow.
6:09 am
Sally-catlover

My head is in England, but then so is the rest of me...
6:09 am
Scrabbler

Haha. I loved that book so much. Have you read it?
6:10 am
Sally-catlover

It was very cheap but it's so much easier for proper typing. Also the grid doesn't vanish every time I add a word.
6:10 am
Sally-catlover

No, not read the book.
6:10 am
Scrabbler

I am glad it works and that you are back.
6:11 am
Sally-catlover

:-)
6:11 am
Scrabbler

The book is nonfiction and about a young woman that trains a goshawk as she deals with grief after her father dies. The writing is beautiful. She takes the hawk to the English countryside. I love nature and birds so I loved the book.
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

Who is the author?
6:13 am
Scrabbler

Helen McDonald or MacDonald
6:13 am
Sally-catlover

I'll look it up.
6:26 am
Sally-catlover

Must check something. Be back soon. I'm not doing very well, I only have 27 words so far!

9:54 am

it was a nice grid for me...

still have 32 to go, so reserving judgement
9:54 am

i like hard cider but not beer...
9:54 am

i'd rather have a gin and tonic on a hot day
9:56 am
bichon

Here I am in the country of beer and wine and I only drink diet coke
9:56 am
cybernan

we have quite a few micro brewers in our valley making hard cider now -- some of them very much like the Normandy ciders
9:57 am
rururocks

i like pear ciders too
9:57 am
rururocks

eric bordelet's are the best
9:58 am
cybernan

will have to try it if I ever get to CA again -- like pear cider, but it is quite a bit sweeter than the apple usually
9:58 am
rururocks

this one isn't sweek
9:58 am
rururocks

sweet
9:58 am
rururocks

it's from 300 year old trees
9:59 am
cybernan

ok -- didn't know pear trees grow to be that old - wonder if the fruit has a more concentrated flavour?
10:00 am
cybernan

I Do know that pear wood makes a wonderful sounding violin
10:00 am
rururocks

it tastes like a white burgundy
10:00 am
rururocks

it's pretty incredible stuff
10:03 am
cybernan

maybe it wil appear on our shelves -- after all -- trump wants to dump US wine in our market. We already have WA state apples being dumped here but Mr. Greed won't be happy until he has it all
10:05 am
cybernan

I wonder if he realizes just how much animosity he is generating for the US around the world - doesn't he know that nobody like a "me first" person?
10:13 am
rururocks

to be honest nan.. you guys could use better wine there
10:13 am
rururocks

your taxes on wines in Canada is beyond obscene
10:15 am
cybernan

the reds yes -- we don't have a warm enough climate for red grapes -- other than the vineyards down by the border -- but not the wihites. I have never found a CA white that I like -- they are mostly too thin and taste like battery acid
10:15 am
cybernan

mind you I am not buying $75 bottles of wine either
10:16 am
rururocks

true. but i figured that when you said battery acid
10:16 am
cybernan

yes -- liquor and tobacco taxes are very high --- helps to pay for the medical costs
10:17 am
rururocks

i am all for super high tobacco costs :D
10:18 am
cybernan

to my mind a good table wine should not cost more than $15 per bottle
10:19 am
rururocks

there are plenty that do just cost that nan.. you just have to know them.
10:19 am
rururocks

A lot of the wine I really enjoy is under $20 for everyday
10:19 am
rururocks

but now that I'm older my palate has changed too
10:19 am
moolingwa

Trump doesn't care what the world thinks
10:20 am
moolingwa

There's a sizable percentage of the US population that don't care either
10:20 am
rururocks

I have a lot of expensive wine.. but mostly i'm just selling it off now.. they don't interest me on a day to day basis of having a nice glass with a meal
10:20 am
rururocks

as far as trump goes we are in for four years of hell here
10:21 am
cybernan

I don't think he cares what anyone thinks mool --- he has a nice little nepotic oligarchy going for himself
10:21 am
cybernan

just hope he hasn't turned the US into a dictatorship by then, ru
10:21 am
rururocks

that is somewhat of a concern nan
10:22 am
rururocks

all that is missing on him is a tiny little orange mustache
10:22 am
rururocks

<---heads to the list
10:23 am
moolingwa

I don't believe he'll be able to turn the US into a dictatorship
10:24 am
moolingwa

But I do believe that he's harmed some basics in the democratic process, including transparency, objectivity and truth
10:24 am
rururocks

he's trying to bully everything else mool
10:24 am
moolingwa

14 to go
10:24 am
moolingwa

yes, but you can only bully if those who are being bullied believe he has power over them
10:25 am
cybernan

mool --- that thinking scares me --- did you believe he could be elected?
10:25 am
moolingwa

I think initially there were a number of republicans who thought he did, but I think there are fewer today who are scared of him
10:25 am
moolingwa

No, I didn't believe he could be elected
10:25 am
rururocks

I did.. there's a lot of anger in middle america
10:26 am

kids' language can be so descriptive. I remember our daughter making easter bonnets for myself and my mother at kindergarten. When her grandmother asked how she made it my daughter replied, well you just take pieces of tissue paper in any colour you want, scrunchle it up ..... and glue it on

cept if you use an apostrophe

Cept if you talk in abbreviated text-speak. In which people don't bother to spell correctly or use capital letters
3:00 pm
moolingwa

Well English is an ever changing language, so I guess if we wait a few years, cept will become ac-cept-able

I think you'll find English has always been "deteriorating"
3:21 pm

I used to get annoyed at things like "mute point", until I started listening to some lexicographers talk about evolution in language
3:21 pm

miniscule for instance is a corruption of minuscule

English has not been deteriorating as much as it has since the advent of text-speak and internet slang.
5:20 pm
MollyL

But then I don't follow lexicographers. Nice 50 dollar word.
6:37 pm
moolingwa

Deteriorating by definition means it's becoming progressively worse. If you mean in terms of spoken language, I think you'll find that ever generation brings change to the language, both from a cultural perspective as well as a technical perspective
6:39 pm
mkg

hi all. any clues for the 7 or 8 letter words? i dont have any yet. ty.
6:39 pm
moolingwa

If you mean in terms of the written form, then I would agree there has been an acceleration in change because of the tools we use to communicate today
6:40 pm
moolingwa

As to it being worse...that's a harder thing to evaluate. If you don't like the change, then you can say yes I don't like it, but if you look at whether it's making it harder to communicate, I think that's less evident
6:40 pm

one 8 relates to whales

7:01 pm
moolingwa

7:01 pm
frobscottler

only one on the board - the y
7:01 pm
moolingwa

It's uses the highest and leftest letter to start a word
7:02 pm
moolingwa

for instance the N appears three times
7:02 pm
moolingwa

so it might have used a different N
7:02 pm
moolingwa

It's a word that starts with Y
7:02 pm
frobscottler

is it not the stats for using a letter in a word? but for starting a word?
7:02 pm

7:47 pm
origami

The interview was so-so. Parts went really well. We shall see :-)
7:48 pm
Bugsaw

I hope it would be something you would enjoy. The interview sounded like it would be gruelling.
7:49 pm
origami

It was grueling. I felt like I had fought ten rounds by the time I was done. It actually ran over to 5 hours. blech.
7:49 pm
Gadget

I'm sorry if it's a no-no to talk about other things, but I thought babblers would know, being puzzlers. Is the BBC's Sherlock Holmes worth diving into on Netflix?
7:50 pm
Bugsaw

If the interview was that long, I would be concerned about how much they would expect me to suffer on the job.
7:51 pm
Bugsaw

Hi Gadget. I never knew we couldn't talk about other things (except politics, sex and religion , of course). Some of the BBC Sherlock is quite interesting but there were a couple that were very odd and science=fictionish.
7:52 pm
Bugsaw

I quite liked their Watson.
7:52 pm
origami

It's not a no-no gadget.

8:01 pm
rururocks

politics are back in action here in case you haven't noticed :D
8:02 pm
Bugsaw

People like to talk about politics but I was taught, and believe it to be true, just don't. It gets people fired up.
8:02 pm
rururocks
