2:35 am

grannyrose

oh yeah !! and how are you, honey? how did yesterday go?

2:37 am

sprite

yesterday was a dud. Started my work shift an hour late because I thought I had the afternoon shift, but it was the late morning shift... too late with baking bread as a result... let the curry soup boil over... singing lesson totally sucked... or rather I sucked in it... one of those days

2:39 am

grannyrose

awww you poor thing. i hate days like that. hugs and kisses

2:40 am

sprite

yeah it wasn't fun. Well, that was yesterday. Today should be great. My love and I have tickets for the theater this evening. And I am cooking a new recipe with sweet potatoes.

A quick hello before I put out the garbage and recyclables and head to work. The local schools are closed due to a snowstorm which started last evening and will continue overnight.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Penquis, how are you holding up in your storm? I suspect you have no electricity.

7:14 am

bichon

I don't understand the te 9 clue, help

7:15 am

MollyL

te9...number + two letter plural ending + short for what amplifies a singing voice

7:16 am

MollyL

Sorry, that is the 8

7:16 am

bichon

ty for that Molly

7:18 am

MollyL

The 9 is a plural. If you are a renter you are someone's te6. Stretch that into plural form.

7:19 am

bichon

can't make tenant in this grid

7:19 am

MollyL

The definition is the period of a te6's occupancy, plural. You don't need to make that word to get the nine. It is a form of it, it does not include the whole word

7:20 am

MollyL

If you rent for one year, your te7 is for one year. The plural of that. It is a legal word.

7:21 am

bichon

10:15 am

MLFAN17

ty brandy

10:15 am

penquis

nope...accepts neither....tried pannini yesterday and ramen today....

10:15 am

It accepts anything to do with Yiddish or Hebrew

10:15 am

MollyL

*Thinks there is an echo in chat

10:16 am

MLFAN17

which makes more sense right bichon?

10:16 am

Let's hear it for diversity

10:16 am

penquis

i am still trying to figure out the te 8 clue....

10:16 am

MollyL

Don' t forget all the little known Scot words Enable loves

10:17 am

penquis

oh yes...and the welsh words...

10:17 am

MLFAN17

pen ends in ***key mouse

10:17 am

MollyL

What part of the te8 clue don't you get?

10:18 am

penquis

i thought it was the two letter plural, but i am not sure....

10:18 am

penquis

oh...i got it....

10:18 am

penquis

never seen that one.....

10:18 am

MLFAN17

yes in the middle of the word

10:18 am

MLFAN17

I think it a new one pen

10:19 am

MollyL

Usually when people clue "two letter plural" they are referring to that more common one. Not ae or the other obscure ones.

10:19 am

penquis

and i was trying the obscure ones... ;o)

10:20 am

MollyL

Sadly, most of us do not keep a medical dictionary at our fingertips for quick reference. : D

10:20 am

10:24 am

MLFAN17

most of spoken aloud as in a yell or a shout?

10:24 am

penquis

no...think doctoral exams in front of a panel....most of that...

10:25 am

penquis

take the medicine through the mouth....most of that...

: D

10:29 am

penquis

if rearm can be a word, why not dearm....

10:29 am

moolingwa

I guess they chose disarm, and stuck with that one...one of those rare narrow choices

10:29 am

penquis

well, i didn't lose power at all ... yet....my brother who lives across town lost it for a couple hours....

10:31 am

penquis

yes, mool....the wonders of the English language....i have a Russian friend who tutors kids in English in Russia....she often messages me with questions about proper usage and meaning of idioms....

moolingwa

10:35 am

moolingwa

possibly the adjective

10:36 am

penquis

i hae the adjective, i think....ends with a grammatical case....perhaps there is another adjective?

10:37 am

moolingwa

how about the short noun?

10:37 am

10:55 am

periwinkle

Stewart, right?

4:23 pm

periwinkle

tough grid

4:24 pm

lynxxx

Yes..TY. He had a great life, much loved and reached a very good age for a greyhound - what more could anyone - even a dog - ask for

most liveable city Mool

4:29 pm

moolingwa

I've lived in a few cities :)

4:29 pm

lynxxx

(if you can afford it)

4:29 pm

moolingwa

they all seemed to be liveable...even New York :)

4:30 pm

moolingwa

to an extent anyway

4:31 pm

moolingwa

love it when my typos turn out to be words

4:32 pm

lynxxx

does anyone know how many ox's there are - MY typos aren't working

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

4:40 pm

zoozzoom

Welcome back, Scrabs :-)

4:41 pm

moolingwa

hey scrabbo

4:41 pm

Scrabbler

I found 90 this morning. I am aiming for halfway.

4:41 pm

moolingwa

goals are good...especially in soccer and hockey

4:41 pm

zoozzoom

lol

4:46 pm

cybernan

if glucose can be a word, why not stevia?

4:47 pm

moolingwa

Not sure stevia was very well known when this dictionary was created :)

4:48 pm

moolingwa

This dictionary is close to 20 years old now

4:49 pm

cybernan

time for a revision

4:49 pm

moolingwa

yeah, there's been several revisions to the official us scrabble dictionary since then

4:49 pm

zoozzoom

I think there is a newer version of Enable.

4:50 pm

moolingwa

Well the version we use is, as far as I can tell..a replication of TWL98, or The Word List from 1998

4:51 pm

moolingwa

The most recent OSPD, or official scrabble players dictionary, on which TWL is based was released in 2014 I think

4:52 pm

moolingwa

I think the only difference is that the OSPD might not include the derogatory and curse words

4:52 pm

moolingwa

But don't know for certain

4:52 pm

moolingwa

Sorry TWL apparently is Tournament Word List

4:52 pm

zoozzoom

I have a scrabble dictionary somewhere and it is not too old so could be the up to date version.

4:53 pm

moolingwa

Well there's a separate dictionary for the rest of the world

4:53 pm

cybernan

te 9 please?

4:53 pm

zoozzoom

Still crap at scrabble though :-)

4:53 pm

moolingwa

called SOWPODS, which is a combo of OSW - the British scrabble dictionary and OSPD which is the US one

4:53 pm

moolingwa

the British one is much broader

4:53 pm

moolingwa

te9...another name for renters perhaps

4:54 pm

moolingwa

Scrabble is actually licensed separately in the US versus the rest of the world...causes a great deal of confusion at times

4:56 pm

moolingwa

I seem to have gotten stuck on 43

4:57 pm

zoozzoom

Well it has been a long battle with this grid so far.

4:57 pm

cybernan

probably a great cryptic clue, mool, but nothing comes to mind

4:57 pm

moolingwa

yes, and I think I may have lost a limb or two

4:57 pm

cybernan

agree zoom

4:58 pm

moolingwa

think of a name for a renter, and then extend it to be more the act of renting, and make it a plural

4:58 pm

moolingwa

woot, found two words

4:58 pm

zoozzoom

Normally ends with a Y but ends with a long plural.

4:58 pm

MollyL

If you rent an apartment for a year, one year is the length of your te7. Make that a plural.

4:59 pm

cybernan

ty molly

5:00 pm

cybernan

11 more but first this short break....

5:00 pm

moolingwa

sounds like a cut to an ad

5:00 pm

zoozzoom

Three for me.

5:01 pm

moolingwa

lots for me

5:02 pm

zoozzoom

Nah only about 37 for you, Mool.

5:03 pm

moolingwa

41 actually :)

5:03 pm

moolingwa

still a fair amount

5:03 pm

zoozzoom

Well I was close :-)

5:04 pm

moolingwa

indeed you were

5:04 pm

moolingwa

more optimistic

5:04 pm

moolingwa

think I've found 2 in the last 30 minutes

5:05 pm

moolingwa

ooh, another 2

5:06 pm

moolingwa

oh, now I'm crushing it

5:06 pm

zoozzoom

:-)

5:06 pm

moolingwa

:)

5:08 pm

zoozzoom

I will be retiring soon to read a book called ' Rebecca' By Daphne Du Maurier. Avery good read if I may say so.

5:08 pm

moolingwa

I can imagine, only read short stories by her

5:10 pm

zoozzoom

The only other book I have read of hers is a book called September Tide. And I loved it so thought I would give this book a try.

5:10 pm

moolingwa

might look them up

5:11 pm

zoozzoom

Worth it , mool.

5:13 pm

zoozzoom

My next book waiting for me to read in my pile. Is The Book Of Dust by Philip Pullman.

5:13 pm

moolingwa

been there for a while has it? ;)

5:13 pm

zoozzoom

Who happened to be my english teacher when I was a wee little lad!

5:13 pm

moolingwa

oh, very cool

5:14 pm

moolingwa

or very intimidating maybe

5:14 pm

zoozzoom

A bit of time as I had three other books to read before it came to the top of the pile.

5:14 pm

MollyL

Rebecca is a classic Zoom. Good choice.

5:14 pm

moolingwa

I sometimes get into the habit of reading multiple books at the same time

5:14 pm

zoozzoom

No Cool is correct. I love the idea that he used to teach us.

5:15 pm

moolingwa

took me about 9 months to read moby dick...would not recommend it to anyone

5:15 pm

zoozzoom

Oh I am glad you have read it, Molly! I am loving it. although I am three quarters in now so know the end is coming :-(

5:15 pm

moolingwa

unless you just happen to love 17th century whaling technical details I guess

5:15 pm

zoozzoom

lol

5:16 pm

moolingwa

And I did find out how the sperm whale got it's name, and what ambergris is

5:16 pm

zoozzoom

Can not read lots of book at the same time, Mool. Unless one is a factual book maybe.

5:17 pm

moolingwa

not that I believe I've ever used either fact for benefit

5:17 pm

MollyL

*Wishes Ru was here for a discussion that involves dick and sperm

5:18 pm

zoozzoom

Oh good grief don't tempt fate, Molly LOL

5:19 pm

zoozzoom

Well I am off now. Congrats to anyone who finishes this grid. I found it rather tough myself. Happy babbling everyone!

Hello

8:03 pm

lynxxx

Hi

8:09 pm

cybernan

Hi again -- I have just updated my profile -- hopefully it will provide a chuckle for those of you who have not already seen something similar. :-) PS - further to the topic I discovered yesterday while watching TV that my husband and I, seeing as how we do not own or use a smart phone, have become modern day luddites.

8:14 pm

lynxxx

Gave me a chuckle. I am resistant to carrying my handmedown phone around - like seemingly everyone else in Australia. I am sure they will all end up with stooped spine in old age as they are always looking down at phone. I shan't comment on rudeness answering/using phone when in company.

8:21 pm
