Good night Nan. red boxes here :(

12:38 am

rbud

well, that in10 fooled me after all, it doesn't end like I presumed it would... nor did I actually see it as I kept checking, but finally typed it in and by golly it worked.

12:39 am

periwinkle

still looking for that in10

12:39 am

Lizlin

Thanks rbud - don't know what it is about what you said, but you prompted me to find the in 10 - thanks.

12:39 am

rbud

shouldn't have questioned myself so strenuously (this bit's a hint, heehee!)

12:40 am

rbud

:D

12:50 am

periwinkle

so the in10 does not end in ing?

12:50 am

rbud

no, I was thinking it would.

12:50 am

Lizlin

No it doesn't

12:53 am

gapeach

Hi there, y'all. Can you please clue with i the in-10 starts with? Thanks

12:53 am

12:59 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hi there :) How are you and your beloved today?

12:59 am

gapeach

Thanks, hon.

12:59 am

sprite

hi peri!

12:59 am

Lizlin

We're fine - really busy - expecting friends from the UK tomorrow. Very exciting.

12:59 am

sprite

oh how lovely!

12:59 am

Lizlin

How are you and yours?

1:00 am

periwinkle

going back to bed

1:00 am

sprite

night peri

1:00 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, peri

1:00 am

rbud

another hint for the in10? (I was in the kitchen, sorry)

1:01 am

sprite

we are mostly okay. Terra has a neck hernia, alas. For now, he is on painkillers and that makes him relax more. And I am stressed out about the 'party'. But all the rest is good :)

1:01 am

sprite

brb, nature calls

1:01 am

Lizlin

Poor Terra. Poor you too but it'll be over before too long and you can recover from it then.

1:03 am

rbud

one who questions strenuously (Monty Python hint - "no one expects the Spanish In******ion!" - but you want someone who does the questioning.)

1:04 am

Lizlin

Time for me to be off - Hugs to Sprite and Terra.

1:05 am

gapeach

Great clue, rbud. Thanks

1:05 am

Lizlin

Enjoy your nights, evenings or days everyone.

1:05 am

rbud

what can be done about the neck hernia, sprite? never knew of a dog (or person!) with one before.

1:06 am

rbud

bye, Liz :)

1:09 am

rbud

darn i in the second column, and that bottom N - can't seem to get them. So many i's and n's!

1:11 am

rbud

all that's keeping me here, I hate stopping without getting at least nbt and nbs, and over halfway.

1:11 am

sprite

sorry about that, back now

1:15 am

sprite

rbud: i + parked my butt on a chair + not out(s)

1:17 am

rbud

oh! ty! :D

1:17 am

sprite

and the bottom N is a number word

1:18 am

sprite

not that I want you to leave for bed, btw :)

1:18 am

rbud

well, fish me for that one. thanks again!

1:18 am

rbud

hahaha, maybe I'll stick around till I hit 100 or so

1:19 am

rbud

and there's one more 8 eluding me. hmmm...

1:19 am

sprite

nothing much can be done for Terra. We are trying to relieve the pain now, and help the muscles relax which should lessen the pressure on the disks. And he gets physiotherapy for the same reason. And glucosamine to help the joints. But that is about all we can do.

1:19 am

sprite

can't help you with the biggies, I have a total of one 7 and thanks to you the 10. Biggies are not my forte

1:20 am

rbud

well, no qu8 yet! ;)

1:20 am

sprite

*grins* thanks

1:22 am

sprite

tsk. He who is proficient in the art of loving... an erotist. Stupid enable.

1:23 am

dizgrannie

FWs, nice grid.

1:23 am

sprite

wtg dizzie!

1:23 am

dizgrannie

ty

1:23 am

rbud

aha, that ending works for the or8 (and pl for 9)

1:24 am

rbud

oh, congrats, diz!

1:25 am

DS927

rbud, no qu8 for you until you reach 100

1:25 am

sprite

lol I tried to lengthen the colour (or ape, rather)

1:25 am

sprite

you tell her, DS, and hi

1:26 am

rbud

someone proficient on a keyboarded instrument

1:26 am

sprite

finiquito - tell them in one word you are done and finished

1:26 am

DS927

*grins* Hi Sprite

1:26 am

sprite

found them, thanks rbud

1:27 am

rbud

ty, I forgot or5 was a word without the E.

1:27 am

sprite

yvw :)

1:30 am

sprite

added finiquito to our babble dictionary.

1:30 am

rbud

I like that one.

1:30 am

sprite

:D

1:31 am

sprite

it has become a sizable list by now. Always good for a smile and grin.

1:34 am

rbud

found my last 8. gr7 and pl. almost sounds like a word for the list, like a tiny gr**nyrose, haha! sort of a Spanish ending.

1:34 am

rbud

don't think I've seen that here before.

1:36 am

sprite

*looking*

1:36 am

sprite

nope, indeed, my new word learned for today! Thanks rbud

1:37 am

rbud

oh! it's an Italian ice, who knew.

1:37 am

rbud

yw! :)

1:37 am

sprite

"a type of Italian dessert, similar to a sorbet " Yummy!

1:37 am

rbud

sounds good, wish I had some.

1:38 am

sprite

hehehe, we both looked it up, I see. If we ever meet up, we will have to eat one, rbud!

1:38 am

rbud

:)

1:38 am

rbud

how can rotini not be a word, I've been cooking those since about 1975!

1:39 am

sprite

lol, you know enable is from long before that :) Even from before the internet.

1:40 am

rbud

it accepts lots of pasta types, surprises me sometimes.

1:40 am

sprite

if there is one thing I learned, is that I can never predict what enable will accept and what not. It is one helluva random wordlist.

1:41 am

sprite

+ it

1:43 am

grannyrose

*heartfelt sigh to be sitting down* {{sprite}} hugs and kisses, and {{rbud}} too

1:43 am

rbud

sure is! I recall Jillibus had a funny description in her profile, something to do with it being made up by a Scot and... and...

1:43 am

sprite

*hugsssss rose* Hello my darling. Looks like you had another day of flying low. How are you?

1:43 am

rbud

hiya, rose, just used your name as a clue! :)

1:44 am

sprite

jilli's description is in my profile, rbud, under Babble idiom, at 'enable'

1:44 am

grannyrose

aching all over sprite. 214turned up.

1:45 am

grannyrose

we were expecting around 150

1:45 am

rbud

oh, I didn't know you had it too, was just re-reading it in hers and laughing

1:45 am

sprite

o.m.Big Guy! You must be pooped. But wow, what a success.

1:45 am

sprite

it is brilliant, isn't it, rbud :)

1:46 am

rbud

very!

1:46 am

grannyrose

that's one way of looking at it i guess. and everyone commented on my fried rice and sausage rolls... loll

1:47 am

grannyrose

he was a well-known character around our neck of the woods. plus he had a large family.

1:47 am

sprite

awesome, rose. Rewarding :) But now it is YOU time and you are to sit with your feet up, a drink at hand and of course our lovely company.

1:47 am

grannyrose

oh that i CAN do... lolll

1:48 am

sprite

success is the wrong word, sorry. Am glad he was remembered so well.

1:48 am

grannyrose

i read about Terra. how on earth did he do that?

1:50 am

sprite

we don't know. He has arthrosis (sp?) in his spine. Made X-rays yesterday and it showed. Plus two spaces between neck vertabrae where the disk is protruding a bit and the vertabrae are very close together.

1:50 am

grannyrose

ewww, not good.

1:51 am

sprite

no, it is not. And you wouldn't believe how expensive it is, ugh. But he is worth it.

1:55 am

grannyrose

does the vet have him on steroids? i looked it up and it seems to me arthrosis would respond well to cortisone.

1:56 am

sprite

that is one of the options, yes. For now, she is trying to bring down the pain levels and the muscle cramp. In about 3 weeks, we will see what is next on the agenda.

1:57 am

grannyrose

would magnesium help? like the tabs you take?

1:58 am

sprite

not sure. Worth asking the vet about. Thanks for reminding me.

1:58 am

sprite

did you see my new word for the dictionary?

2:01 am

grannyrose

yes, it's a good one.

2:01 am

sprite

*happy dance*

2:05 am

grannyrose

oh my. interesting experience. standing up again after sitting down after being on your feet for 6 hours.

2:05 am

sprite

interesting, right. Take it easy, sweetie. I thought I told you to stay put ;)

2:07 am

grannyrose

but, but, but ... i wanted a drink. someone drank all of mine.

2:07 am

sprite

must have been Don, so he darn well can get you another one

2:07 am

grannyrose

lolll

2:07 am

grannyrose

yeah lets blame don....

2:08 am

sprite

*evil grin*

2:08 am

sprite

Don is an easy name. Not complicated like Rose or Cass. So yeah, we blame Don.

2:08 am

grannyrose

shhhhh, he's looking at me

2:09 am

sprite

tell him you are innocent, it was all my idea :D (I am SOOOOO brave with the ocean between us)

2:10 am

grannyrose

*gurgling into glass*

2:10 am

sprite

abbreviates to GIG :D

2:11 am

sprite

here it is often SAOK - spraying all over keyboard

2:11 am

grannyrose

roflol... so we are GIGGING ??

2:11 am

sprite

you are gigging. I am saoking.

2:12 am

grannyrose

nope, you got me there.... please explain

2:12 am

sprite

spraying all over keyboard? Want me to draw you a picture? :D

2:13 am

grannyrose

oh dear, now i'm saoking too

2:13 am

sprite

lolll

2:14 am

grannyrose

poor don... our broadcasting system for all tv stations went down last night, still no new transmissions. for now he is happy watching some recorded show.

2:15 am

sprite

that's why they invented books

2:16 am

grannyrose

yeah... i know that, you know that, but don ??

2:17 am

sprite

good call. :D

2:22 am

sprite

no netflix either?

2:23 am

grannyrose

sorry... squirrel on the back of a two-wheeled vehicle, doing 200 k/p/h around a race track

2:23 am

grannyrose

no honey

2:23 am

sprite

lolollll I knew it had to be something important, or you wouldn't have left me

2:23 am

sprite

your SIL is in the grid too

2:24 am

grannyrose

the two leaders are trying to wipe each other out. it's nail-biting

2:24 am

sprite

I cannot watch it. Literally can't.

2:26 am

grannyrose

okay, resus team to rollings road. i'e just had a heart attack

2:26 am

sprite

*shocks rose back to life*

2:27 am

sprite

(by flashing my boobies)

2:27 am

grannyrose

ouch, now i have two black eyes...

2:27 am

sprite

but you are back and that is all that counts.

2:28 am

grannyrose

can't see much though. that's a lot of boobies you're packing

2:29 am

Maisie

Morning you two nutters thanks for the ti4 clues xx

2:29 am

sprite

true, dat :) *puts them back in* There you go, all clear view again.

2:29 am

sprite

hiya Maisie :) *hug* How are you?

2:30 am

rbud

hahaha, this entertaining company made me stick around, and now I'm done, yay! To think I was going to go at 100 words...

2:30 am

grannyrose

thank heavens for small mercies.. did i say small ??

2:30 am

sprite

woooot rbud! Well done, and it was great to have you in chat with us.

2:30 am

rbud

"what, and miss all this?" :D

2:30 am

grannyrose

mornin' maisie xoxox

2:30 am

Maisie

I'm fine thanks, had a lovely long sunny weekend in the caravan before coming back to rain, how are you?

2:31 am

sprite

*grins at rbud*

2:31 am

rbud

I was lurking a bit there, but ah, well.

2:31 am

grannyrose

WTG RBUD!!

2:31 am

sprite

also in rain here, but otherwise fine.

2:31 am

sprite

only the last stretch, rbud, you were active in chat earlier and I enjoyed it.

2:32 am

Maisie

You all sound in good form

2:33 am

sprite

the flipping family party thing is stressing me out, haven't slept any night through for ages. Hollowed out nights, you know the kind? Falling asleep easily, waking up an hour later, and not getting back to sleep until around 6 am

2:33 am

grannyrose

it's called hysteria, maisie, the kind that happens after the stress hits the fan

2:33 am

sprite

but hey, that is part of the process and I am indeed in fine form, feeling ready to take on the bad guy.

2:33 am

Maisie

How long is it till the party

2:34 am

sprite

tsk. Hysteria. As if guys don't panic when shit hits the fan.

2:34 am

sprite

it is on the 10th of september. Pretty soon now.

2:35 am

Maisie

Roll on the 11th then eh?

2:36 am

grannyrose

brb, need to wash the split peas and put them in to soak.

2:36 am

sprite

oh, and I had my yearly checkup in the hospital as after-care of the gastric bypass. Vitamine D way too low, liver enzymes slightly off still, but ALL the rest was perfect. How is that for a clean bill?

2:36 am

sprite

you are SO right, Maisie :)

2:36 am

sprite

for some reason, I read Rose's post as 'need to go spit peas'

2:37 am

Maisie

I didn't know you'd had one of them. One of our friends had one done and he has lost about 14 stone

2:38 am

Maisie

Lol yes can imagine Rose spitting peas, wonder how good her aim is

2:38 am

sprite

wow, well done, he. I lost around 37 kg, and am in the process of losing some more. Had to re-address my eating disorder, didn't handle stress too well and fell off the wagon for a bit.

2:38 am

sprite

knowing rose, each pea will be a hit

2:39 am

Maisie

Yes I thought she would be good. Well done on the 37kg although I don't really know what that is in English I still work on stones and pounds

2:40 am

sprite

I'll look it up

2:40 am

sprite

5 stone, 11 lb and 9.1366 oz

2:41 am

Maisie

Wow that's brilliant

2:42 am

sprite

it is a good start. Would like to lose another 20 kg though. Which is quite possible once I get back to normal eating. Am trying to from today on. But am kind of allowing myself a bit of a relapse until the party, if I had to.

2:43 am

sprite

if I have* to

2:44 am

Maisie

Very sensible, you come first

2:45 am

sprite

I am in the OA, and my sponsor told me to stop being so hard on myself and start taking my stress and flashbacks seriously. Time enough to re-adress my eating when the party is behind me. Good advice :)

2:46 am

Maisie

Very good advice. not heard of OA

2:47 am

Maisie

Can't have statin and phantoms tinitus and assist

2:47 am

sprite

it is the AA for people with eating issues. Literally Overeaters Anonymous, but it is also for undereaters and people with other eating addictions.

2:47 am

sprite

I tried those too

2:49 am

Maisie

A much needed organisation

2:49 am

Maisie

I'd like another E in the bottom half of this grid.

2:49 am

sprite

it is indeed. I am surprised at how supportive and effective it is.

2:50 am

sprite

ohh me too! This grid would flow so much easier with one.

2:51 am

Maisie

Exactly halfway and I'd better go. Back on babysitting duties today, Roni and Frankie today and Millie and Harry tomorrow

2:52 am

sprite

they keep you busy! Have a lovely time with them and take care of yourself as well. *hugs*

2:52 am

grannyrose

have a good one maisie. enjoy those grandkiddies. xoxox

2:53 am

Maisie

Thank you, hope to catch up with you both tomoroow. You both have a good day too, byeee xoxo

2:53 am

sprite

could I please get a clue for the second in7/28?

2:54 am

grannyrose

in + trap ?

2:55 am

sprite

*looking*

2:55 am

sprite

finally. Thanks, darling. It was in my blind corner.

2:56 am

grannyrose

yvw

2:59 am

sprite

how is Don doing, btw?

3:01 am

grannyrose

physical or mental health-wise.... loll

3:01 am

sprite

both :D

3:01 am

sprite

though I kinda know the answer to the latter

3:02 am

grannyrose

physically he is doing fine just a few aches and pains that come when one starts hitting bricks with a hammer and chisel

3:03 am

sprite

good to hear he is well. How about them tonsils?

3:03 am

grannyrose

mentally.... i think he will go nuts if the tv doesn't start broadcasting again. strange thing is ...there is nothing via internet news about it.

3:04 am

grannyrose

tonsils are back to normal again, thank heavens...

3:04 am

sprite

maybe it is your receiver that had died, and not the broadcaster?

3:04 am

grannyrose

have tried other tv in different room, same issue.

3:05 am

sprite

and where the tv enters the home? Could that be broken?

3:05 am

grannyrose

but we can see old programmes though whatever channel that is. don has just done a check, all seems to be okay.

3:06 am

sprite

maybe give the tv provider a call then

3:07 am

grannyrose

ah well, maybe an email to our regular stations might bring some light on the subject.

3:07 am

grannyrose

lolll, or what sprite said

3:07 am

sprite

:D

3:09 am

sprite

fireflies. That was fun!

3:10 am

sprite

a big *hug* to you and Don, rose. Keep those feet up and rest up :) And to all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night

3:12 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!! hope you have a good day please give terra a gentle pat from me. xoxox

4:10 am

dpomfr

Missing qu 7 40. Next to the tablets.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Do you have the plural of a portuguese vineyard?

4:16 am

dpomfr

Yes.

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Then the other one is the same as the tablet one just ends ina vowel.

4:19 am

dpomfr

Brilliant thanks. that finishes the q's

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Welcome.

4:45 am

zoozzoom

I see 'Squits' is not allowed in enable..*Sigh*

4:48 am

MollyL

It won't take lolly or nappy either. Enable is only tolerant of odd Scot words it seems.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Enable has a lot to answer for. tsk!

4:49 am

zoozzoom

May I ask what the candle is for, Molly?

4:50 am

MollyL

It makes me laugh that the French word for shit is allowed, but not the more commonly used French word for thank you.

4:50 am

MollyL

The candle is for Peach. I read that she lost a family member.

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Oh I did not know. Thank you.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is a shame, Dr_God does not use the updated version of enable. Maybe that would solve a lot of these so called non-words.

4:53 am

MollyL

Enable is such an out dated word list.

5:09 am

lbdawger

clue plz for the gr7/8?

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Italian frzen ice!

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Starts with a family member.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Frozen*

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Then plural gor the GR 8

5:11 am

zoozzoom

So sorry for these typos.

5:11 am

lbdawger

ty zooz!

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Welcome.

5:15 am

lbdawger

tadone! fun challenging grid

5:17 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Dawg!

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Think I will go and grab a bite to eat. Happy babbling everyone!

8:27 pm

we were near asheville. the satellite showed a hole in the clouds and we found it

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

husshy

8:29 pm

hurshy

i just became a teacher. like today was my fifth day with the kids. and we did a science lab with watermelon and yeast. and this one boy wanted to eat it after and i was like, ew, it would be really gross, but he kept wanting to anyway so i was like, oh, fine, go ahead, but it is going to taste terrible! and then i come home and i'm thinking about it and i google it and it turns out eating raw active dry yeast is a very bad idea

8:29 pm

dan2bit

uh oh

8:30 pm

hurshy

at the least, you are likely to get severe stomach pains. at the worst, alcohol poisoning. and i want to know how much you would have to consume for the latter to happen, but i can't find that information, because people don't do that!

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

what can happen?

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

kids are tough.

8:30 pm

HarryHood

how much did he eat?

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

did he eat much?

8:31 pm

hurshy

so i emailed his parents and i was like, um, if he's sick, this is why, and i feel terrible! and well, he has a history of eating weird stuff, which hopefully makes it seems less like my fault and more usual to his parents.

8:31 pm

hurshy

he probably ate like a teaspoon of it

8:31 pm

hurshy

maybe 2

8:31 pm

HarryHood

if no allergy he's probably fine by now.

8:32 pm

hurshy

apparently if you have it on an empty stomach it's not a very big deal because the yeast needs sugars to grow

8:32 pm

HarryHood

that's good that you emailed the parents right away - I'm sure they appreciate it

8:32 pm

hurshy

but the watermelon has sugars, hence the experiment.

8:32 pm

hurshy

if it is eating sugars it ferments, releasing carbon dioxide and producing alcohol, is the general idea.

8:33 pm

hurshy

i feel like the biggest bonehead ever

8:33 pm

HarryHood

my first year with chemistry I lit a kids arm on fire.

8:33 pm

HarryHood

he got better

8:34 pm

hurshy

but at least fire you KNOW what the effects are. i can't really find clear info on how much yeast (with sugar present) will cause alcohol poisoning. there's info about it for dogs, because usually that's who eats crap they shouldn't eat

8:37 pm

HarryHood

a cursory search says it's not a big deal. If nothing disastrous has happened yet, it probably won't

8:39 pm

HarryHood
