Hello all - has Sprite stopped playing ? Havent seen her for ages

12:31 am

grannyrose

sprite very busy. doing two volunteer jobs. one is on night shifts.

12:32 am

ursh

12:33 am

grannyrose

keep praying and/or sending good vibes. she is shaky after all the fireworks on new years eve. takes her a while to settle again.

12:51 am

ursh

The fireworks here are outrageous - we keep getting told big bangs are banned and yet these bombs are freely available and freely used even in residential areas - people and animals are so traumatised - really infuriating :(

7:02 am

TheSquid

like a really outdated form of it

7:02 am

Buggie

it’s scottish

7:05 am

Deeha

all scottissh words that havent been used in Scotland for the last 100 years should be removed!!

7:07 am

Buggie

I don’t know if it’s used or not, but the base verb is still used AFAIK, and that’s just a past tense

7:14 am

TheSquid

ah ok that makes sense!

8:46 am

BzznBea

The 4/10 means a foolosh person.

8:46 am

hokie carla

I just have sa6 left. the 18 I got from the list were mostly not common words but easy to figure out with the list.

8:46 am

BzznBea

That sa6 was interesting.

8:47 am

hokie carla

well, I've tried sanify several times and it's not that :D

8:48 am

BzznBea

It is a formal Muslim address

8:48 am

8:48 am

hokie carla

lol, of course

8:49 am

BzznBea

A crusty, old Dead-head friend of mine just discovered ABBA. I bought him the movie Mama Mia for Christmas and he loves it.

9:58 am

origami

I forebade him from playing it around me :D

9:58 am

saanichcat

good!

9:59 am

rururocks

if you ever give me an abba movie i will cease to be friends with you :D

10:00 am

rururocks

there is even an ABBA museum in wherever they're from

10:01 am

origami

Ha! I wouldn't dream of it.

10:01 am

MollyL

I can't stop laughing at the idea of an ABBA museum

10:01 am

rururocks

if you did you'd also have to buy me a rope and a stool

10:02 am

origami

:D

10:03 am

rururocks

ori to the chat: remember when i bought ru an abba movie..i didn't know it would really have pushed him over the edge

10:05 am

origami

... I see him now when he is allowed visitors

10:05 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

10:06 am

origami

good morning, nan

10:08 am

saanichcat

hi nan!

10:08 am

rururocks

he's got PTSD with bad elevator music and only takes the stairs

10:08 am

MollyL

I hear Ru has a nice roommate at the home. Guy with a pretend wife and son.

10:09 am

origami

ABBA PTSD is a new diagnosis.

10:09 am

saanichcat

!!!!!!

10:10 am

MollyL

It is! It's in the DSM-5

10:20 am

rururocks

knowing my luck molly the byzantine would be my roommate

10:22 am

redshoes

I really should have read further back in the chat for context. I was trying to figure out what ABBA stood for medically and in relation to the DSM and PTSD. Ha. Now I understand. (facepalm)

10:22 am

cybernan

not seeing that ig 6 -- not seeing a dig 7

10:24 am

ursh

there is no dig7 - it was just a hint for the ig6 to say one could not dig---- answering a stupid question perhaps

10:24 am

cybernan

still not seeing it

10:25 am

redshoes

Got it. Thanks ursh.

10:25 am

cybernan

I did realize there was no di 7 nor an si 7, but I stll need different clue for the ig 6 please

10:26 am

MollyL

The ig6 is I will not di7 that with a response, minus the first letter

10:26 am

redshoes

nan - "I will not d+ig6 that with an answer."

10:26 am

ursh

ok nan what if we put an S in front of it - a whistle blow would s****** the end of the match+

10:26 am

cybernan

ty molly

10:28 am

cybernan

no def, of course, think it means to make something look like a rock?

10:29 am

redshoes

nan, to form into fire

10:31 am

cybernan

sounds questionable -- probably made up my the same person that coined utilize

10:31 am

cybernan

* by the same person

10:31 am

mattygroves

Hi all. Can anyone tell me the stats for the 7s, please?

10:32 am

cybernan

have a pu 7 that is a plural

10:33 am

cybernan

monkeyed it - lol

10:34 am

mattygroves

Thanks Nan - I see what you did there!

10:34 am

MollyL

I think the ig word is Latin. The prefix is the Latin word for fire. We are more familiar with the nite ending with that prefix.

10:42 am

cybernan

whenever i see a word like that it reminds me of Norm Crosby

10:44 am

cybernan

sa 6 please?

10:46 am

cybernan

no suey on the menu

10:48 am

cybernan

not seeing anything - giving up on this one

10:52 am

MollyL

Oh too bad, I would have loved Nan's reaction to the sa6

10:53 am

mattygroves

Will you clue it for me, Molly, please?

10:57 am

magpie7

11:04 am

mattygroves

Thank you! Got there in the end. Odd word.

11:04 am

EvaNadine

makes me think of the character from the show Lost

11:05 am

stu mcc

it's a title for members of middle eastern aristocracy

11:06 am

MollyL

I thought of LOST too, Eva

11:06 am

redshoes

Other 7 is te7

11:07 am

redshoes

te7: poking fun at

11:08 am

redshoes

finding te7 also gave me ea6

11:12 am

EvaNadine

only 26 words to go...
but i have NBT, NBS, halfway through the grid, halfway through each tile, and halfway through each stat.
that may be the extent of my accomplishments for today.

11:12 am

redshoes

Hebrew IS the Jewish language. Ha. Well, the original. ;) But I know what you mean, and thank you for the clues. :)

11:19 am

redshoes

12:06 pm

penquis

odd word....ty....

12:08 pm

swmbo

it is an obsolete word meaning to form into fire. You'd think they'd ditch the obsolete words and put in some words that are now common usage lol

12:10 pm

penquis

yes, but that would assume that the Enable dictionary would ever be updated...

12:10 pm

swmbo

that's true

12:12 pm

swmbo

well, time for the comfy chair, the knitting and the audio book. TTFN
