10:30 am

MollyL

The th5 is no one most people would see easily

10:33 am

MollyL

*not one

10:34 am

MLFAN17

I think we have had it in here before though and I think a word similar with an I in it?

10:36 am

MollyL

Yep, still not a word people see easily

10:36 am

hokie carla

still not seeing it in fact

10:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Weirdly, it's always easy for me, though I accept that I may be an outlier.

10:37 am

MollyL

Unless you are fluent in Old English

10:38 am

SamanthaJoy

I wouldn't say fluent, but I've picked up a few words here and there. ;)

10:39 am

SamanthaJoy

Regardless, I believe this particular spelling is middle English at the latest.

10:39 am

SamanthaJoy

......... And the fact that I'm pretty sure of that is partially what marks me as an outlier.

10:39 am

hokie carla

I just can't get anything to work with the point total

10:40 am

hokie carla

maybe that's where I'm going wrong

10:40 am

SamanthaJoy

What are you looking for?

10:41 am

Aloyisius

back: just add a cons. to the past tense of croon, hokie

10:41 am

hokie carla

matty said th5/14. I found a th5/16

10:41 am

SamanthaJoy

There's no th 5/14

10:42 am

SamanthaJoy

Th 5/16 is the only th

10:42 am

Aloyisius

oh, I thought you meant sa5.16, sorry

10:42 am

hokie carla

my brother -born English - has strong opinions about how this country should be run. I have to remind him that he is an American and should live here if he wants to change us. People say there is nothing we can now do about slavery well there is nthing we can do about William Wallace. And remember the two kingdoms are only joined because a Scottish king inherited the English throne . I keep quiet about American policies

Pen, I have to say, after all you have said about clue blurters, I was surprised to see you at the flip, calling out words. : D

well the flip apparently has its own rules....i can respect that....i couldn't sleep last night, so i hopped in.....

I giggle when I see "clue blurters."

well i am off to eat some left over pizza....bye all....

6:31 pm

origami

bye, pen

6:39 pm

MollyL

I believe the flip used to be no cluing for the first hour, so people could find words on their own. I think the over anxious to be "first" made that go away.

6:40 pm

Lizlin

Does no cluing mean no stats? Stats have always been given since I started playing.

6:42 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I think it was no stats, no cluing for the first hour. I could be wrong. am rarely around at the flip. I seem to remember people wanting at least one hour of time without stats or clues.

6:42 pm

Christa

I've been around since 2005 & was not aware of these things being mentioned.

6:42 pm

Lizlin

I really didn't know that. Flip is at 3 pm for me - so I'm usually around at that sort time.

6:43 pm

Lizlin

I'm happy to stop giving stats.

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Talking of cluing, could I have a clue for the first re 6/7 pair pls?

6:44 pm

MollyL

No worries Liz. The people who play at the flip seem to enjoy the competition of who can get words first. And people can always turn off chat if they don't care for it. I was just joking with Pen.

6:45 pm

Lizlin

That's true. I do turn off the chat sometimes. I think people often forget about that option.

6:45 pm

Lizlin

Happy 4th July to my US babble friends.

Happy 4th Phan. We had great fireworks in our neighborhood. What fun. At least some people are still believers in our great country.

8:44 pm

origami

I'm a believer (I feel a Monkey's song coming on). But all of the fireworks around here make it like a war zone. One of my dogs hides in the bathroom. The other barks all the time. And it goes on for weeks and weeks. Ah, the sound of M-80's and bottle rockets at 3:00 a.m.

8:50 pm

MollyL

I guess that is one of the many reasons I don't have a dog. Or a cat. I saw a woman coming out of the grocery store yesterday with a cart full of cat litter and was grateful I'm not living in that lane.

8:51 pm

Gillie

Next you'll be suggesting that having cats or dogs is unpatriotic (unless of course they love fireworks.

8:52 pm

MollyL

Really? No, not at all.

8:53 pm

rururocks

my dog isn't affected by fireworks at all

8:58 pm

MollyL

Good to hear that Ru. I know lots of people who have pets (dogs and cats) who are not bothered by fireworks. It's sad that some are.

9:00 pm

Gillie

It helps if they're a bit deaf, but I believe quite a few dogs are scared of fireworks.

9:04 pm

Gillie

In my neighborhood, we've occasionally had people set off rockets mixed (apparently) with actual gunshots, which is definitely a bit disturbing. (Not on July 4, of course - we don't celebrate that in Canada.)

9:09 pm

rururocks

we have gunshots here.. they're total idiots

9:09 pm

rururocks

i've always been concerned that bullets will drop through my roof.. they're such jerks

9:12 pm

pam

They really are, ru. Irresponsible idiots. Fireworks have been non-stop since 8pm here. They were intermittent this afternoon. I don't think they're about believing in this country's greatness or failures. I think people love fireworks.

9:12 pm

MollyL

We usually don't have this much fireworks action here. They are illegal. But fireworks shows being canceled, combined with the fact that the police have been a fairly low presence since COVID, has boosted our fireworks this year. I'm loving it.

9:14 pm

pam

People have been shooting them off every night since early May. And not just in Boston! I have read that NYC has had nightly fireworks, too. And they are illegal here, too--not that that ever stops anyone, LOL.

9:14 pm

Gillie

We had no official fireworks for Canada Day (July 1), although the Calgary Tower was lit up. Yesterday would have been the first day of the Calgary Stampede, if we were having it this year, and we had a big display for that. (There will be another one at the end of next week.)

9:15 pm

MollyL

Independence Day has been celebrated with fireworks since 1777.

9:16 pm

Gillie

For the Stampede, they've also had a drive-through pancake breakfast, and will be having a drive-through mini-donut concession, as well as food trucks somewhere in Calgary throughout the week.

9:16 pm

rururocks

fireworks are different than bullets

9:17 pm

rururocks

we have a combination of drunk rednecks and drunk farmworkers and weapons.. not a good mix

9:17 pm

pam

Not a good mix at all, ru.

9:19 pm

rururocks

the first year I lived here i found a bullet in my pool

9:22 pm

rururocks

nothing since. though.. there's a roudy group just north of me that has parties for any reason at all

9:24 pm

MollyL

Damn those rowdy hooligans

9:25 pm

Gillie

I guess the Stampede were allowed because they're supposed to be visible from pretty nearly anywhere in Calgary, so it was possible to maintain social distancing.

9:25 pm

Gillie

Stampede *fireworks*

9:28 pm

origami

Lots of immigrants in my neighborhood. Very little reason to make a lot of noise. I get it, they are happy to be here and proud of their new country. But, geesh! They are, for the most part, illegal here also. But that stops nobody. And it goes on forever. I love fireworks displays put on by cities, etc. But when they shoot them off here, the explosion is like 15 feet from my house. It shakes the windows.

9:28 pm

origami

*they = fireworks, not immigrants :D

9:32 pm

Also, COVID-19 has not really been raging here. We started working from home, cancelling school, etc. pretty early here, and it never got too bad. We're now cautiously easing restrictions.

Gillie, the governor of my state shut it down in early March. Now that there are partial re-openings, Covid is surging here.

9:42 pm

Gillie

Yeah, the number is rising a bit here too. But the economy was in a depression in Alberta even before COVID-19 hit (due to oil prices), so maybe that's helped keep people cautious.
