Haz1558

Naboo

5:48 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Google.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

You are our winner!

5:49 am

Haz1558

Thank you, thank you! Most unworthy winner since I have never watched a minute of any Star Wars films.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

No? I am quite a fan.

5:50 am

Haz1558

No, I'm allergic to anything sci-fi or fantasy.

5:50 am

Haz1558

My son-in-law is a true fan of all things Star Wars.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I am close, but Star Wars sucked me in back in 1977.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Now I have 3 grand-nephews that are huge fans. Ages, 8, 5, and 2.

5:51 am

Haz1558

Does it not get confusing with all the sequels and prequels? Or do you just sit back and enjoy?

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I am confused, but the boys clarify for me.

5:52 am

Haz1558

Ha! Just as well they are there.

5:53 am

Scrabbler

True

5:53 am

Haz1558

I presume their imaginations can cope with all the plot lines and can just absorb what's going on.

5:54 am

Haz1558

And do you watch these at home or in the cinema?

5:55 am

Scrabbler

I do not go to the cinema--too loud, too many annoying people. I haven't gone in maybe 20 years. So I watch at home.

5:56 am

Haz1558

I agree with you about the noise. I find it really overpowering. I don't go very often. I hate the sticky floors as well!

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes.

5:56 am

Haz1558

The real cinema buffs would say we're depriving ourselves of the true experience. I can live without...

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Some people create home theatres with a large screen and massive speakers.

5:57 am

Haz1558

And popcorn?

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Air popper!

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Name a popular brand of gummi candy.

5:59 am

Haz1558

Let's see what google has to say.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

You are so honest, Haz.

6:00 am

Haz1558

Well, if you started on an in depth discussion of Star Wars I'd pretty quickly show my ignorance.

6:00 am

Haz1558

Haribo!

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I have major gaps of knowledge myself

6:00 am

Haz1558

Now that I HAVE heard of.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

*ding*ding*ding*

6:01 am

Haz1558

Smugness descends.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Atalante is the Queen of Smug. She knows the Latin names of hundreds of ocean creatures.

6:02 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know. She used to delight in being playfully smug here.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Yes. I miss seeing her here.

6:03 am

Haz1558

She was here for a while during early lockdown in March but I assume she's back to work learning all those names.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

And her artwork is divine.

6:04 am

Haz1558

She is very talented.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. Today I drive out to the Native American Reservation clinc.

6:05 am

Haz1558

How long of a drive is it? Have a good day, keep safe.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

35 minutes. Regular office is 12 minutes away.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

bye

6:06 am

Haz1558

Not too bad, then. See you again sometime!

6:17 am

Uneaixoise

Oohhh French region full of castles! :-)

6:18 am

Haz1558

Loire. I'm on a roll this morning.

6:18 am

Uneaixoise

Hey, Haz!

6:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, Une. Scrabbler and I were playing spot the proper names earlier.

6:19 am

Uneaixoise

Sounds like fun!

6:19 am

Haz1558

I had to resort to google for the first one. Star Wars isn't my thing.

6:20 am

Uneaixoise

Same here LOL

6:21 am

Uneaixoise

Must take pups out to pee....byeee

6:21 am

Haz1558

It just doesn't appeal, but lots love it.

BzznBea

I love the life saver gummies.

8:14 am

hokie carla

8:14 am

I like chocolate too. And it goes in spells.

8:15 am

hokie carla

I like some other candies, like Nerds. but my family really like skittles and I don't like those at all.

moolingwa

12:18 pm

hokie carla

12:19 pm

moolingwa

12:20 pm

moolingwa

she's reliable like that

12:21 pm

hokie carla

yep. are my missing 4 v's regular words? v's are weird a lot of times.

12:21 pm

moolingwa

6 are common

12:22 pm

hokie carla

oh, found an L. 22!

12:22 pm

moolingwa

one relatively common, especially given that it's a shorter version of one of the others

12:22 pm

moolingwa

and the last one is an anagram of an easy word

12:23 pm

moolingwa

B,B,O,R,S aka Borbs

12:24 pm

hokie carla

hmm, I have one I would consider weird.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

or BROBS

12:24 pm

moolingwa

ys...or sbrbo

12:24 pm

moolingwa

which I think is a Czech word for "look it up you fool"

12:24 pm

hokie carla

I made up a lot of B's.

12:25 pm

moolingwa

made up one b...the longest one

12:25 pm

hokie carla

I got that one early on, seemed legit to me. I'd probably use it in convo.

12:26 pm

moolingwa

Might be a regional thing :)

12:26 pm

hokie carla

ooh, found 2 v's. 20!

12:26 pm

moolingwa

12:29 pm

moolingwa

12:30 pm

hokie carla

these o's are really baffling me today

12:30 pm

moolingwa

odd words many of them

12:30 pm

moolingwa

well not many, but some of them

12:31 pm

moolingwa

only 5 of them are common words you'd speak

12:31 pm

hokie carla

probably the 5 I'm missing

12:31 pm

moolingwa

some of them are relatively frequent babblets

12:31 pm

hokie carla

oh, there's a v4

12:31 pm

moolingwa

nice on the v4

12:32 pm

hokie carla

12:36 pm

moolingwa

vowels generally are harder for me too

12:36 pm

hokie carla

(waiting for ru to say I have a vowel obstruction)

12:36 pm

moolingwa

he's normally reliable like that

12:37 pm

hokie carla

yep. now neither one of them will show up just to make a liar of me.

12:37 pm

hokie carla

there's a T - 17!

12:38 pm

hokie carla

and I just needed to add an S on the front of it. 16!

12:41 pm

hokie carla

a5! 15!

12:42 pm

hokie carla

2 o's. 13! (methinks moo is now on a work call)

12:43 pm

hokie carla

another o4. 12 - 2 4s, 6 5s, 2 6s, 2 7s

12:47 pm

moolingwa

rockin now

12:48 pm

hokie carla

12:49 pm

hokie carla

name that proper noun - first name in DVRs

12:51 pm

moolingwa

tivo

12:51 pm

hokie carla

ding ding ding!

12:52 pm

moolingwa

I'm guessing loiter wasn't of french origin

12:53 pm

hokie carla

L TT SS T OO B A AA

1:01 pm

moolingwa

oh, found a 6

1:02 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

BRS left

1:04 pm

hokie carla

I have probably done the best I can do.

1:04 pm

moolingwa

12 left?

1:04 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:05 pm

hokie carla

nothing weird in the R's

1:05 pm

moolingwa

that's a goodly number

1:05 pm

moolingwa

no weird R's so far

1:05 pm

moolingwa

have r remaining

1:05 pm

hokie carla

I know, I'm telling you it's an easy one

1:06 pm

moolingwa

ah

1:06 pm

hokie carla

and since I still need 1 B and 2 S's I can't comment on those

1:08 pm

hokie carla

I give up on the 7's - what 2 am I missing?

1:08 pm

zoozzoom

Habe you got the b6

1:08 pm

moolingwa

probably the s7

1:08 pm

hokie carla

I have a b6 that was Bea's great aunt

1:08 pm

moolingwa

I have a b6

1:09 pm

zoozzoom

Ah okay.

1:09 pm

moolingwa

also a big gun I think in WW1

1:09 pm

hokie carla

I do feel like that name always has big in front of it

1:09 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

1:09 pm

hokie carla

and bea did confirm her great aunt was large

1:09 pm

moolingwa

yes, that was it's nickname...big b

1:10 pm

moolingwa

I can't comment on the auntly proportions

1:11 pm

zoozzoom

Have you got the other b6 then.

1:11 pm

hokie carla

I have one that is a pl.

1:11 pm

moolingwa

I hvave 2 b6s

1:11 pm

hokie carla

not bien

1:11 pm

zoozzoom

Okay have you got the b7.

1:12 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:12 pm

hokie carla

that's my only 7

1:12 pm

zoozzoom

It is hard when there are so many Bs

1:12 pm

moolingwa

oh, the a7 is odd

1:13 pm

zoozzoom

Ae7 also ab7

1:13 pm

moolingwa

the s7 is less odd, but not common

1:13 pm

hokie carla

true, and I feel like I made up several of the b's so I could be not seeing an easy

1:13 pm

moolingwa

I believe you mean ab8

1:14 pm

hokie carla

going to have to see the list

1:14 pm

zoozzoom

Oh yes sorry my bad. so sorry.

1:15 pm

zoozzoom

Did not mean to ruin it for you. UI will be quiet.

1:15 pm

moolingwa

didn't ruin it for me :)

1:16 pm

hokie carla

me either

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I already had the ab8

1:16 pm

moolingwa

finally found that last r

1:16 pm

moolingwa

2 to go

1:17 pm

hokie carla

I can't even find the ae7 with the list. LOL. moving on! maybe it'll come to me later.

1:17 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's an odd word...definitely a guess on my part

1:17 pm

hokie carla

well there's an a4 I know I tried earlier

1:17 pm

hokie carla

so weird

1:18 pm

zoozzoom

Extend the first ae 4/4

1:19 pm

moolingwa

and there's my last b...

1:19 pm

moolingwa

1 to go

1:19 pm

hurshy

ok ok now to see if the B words will appear

1:19 pm

zoozzoom

Ends a like when you are scared of spiders or heights etc.

1:19 pm

hokie carla

got it, thx

1:20 pm

hokie carla

ooh, what was your last B, moo?

1:20 pm

moolingwa

a 4

1:21 pm

hokie carla

so is mine per the list (forgot I was using it when I asked you LOL)

1:22 pm

moolingwa

yeah, odd 4

1:23 pm

hokie carla

the one I was missing we have occasionally, I just didn't see because it was a twisty square

1:24 pm

moolingwa

my last had a double vowel

1:24 pm

hokie carla

omg, finally see that bird word you were talking about earlier

1:24 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that was my last o

1:25 pm

zoozzoom

Like a cup of tea lol

1:25 pm

moolingwa

yeah, perhaps a frat boy's tea

1:26 pm

zoozzoom

What is a frat boy?

1:26 pm

hokie carla

you all don't have frat boys? consider yourself lucky

1:27 pm

moolingwa

Sorry...a Lad

1:27 pm

zoozzoom

I personally have never heard of then. are they like what we call a chav?

1:27 pm

hokie carla

a college boy in a fraternity. they use "bro" or "bruh" a lot.

1:27 pm

zoozzoom

Ah okay I got you now.

1:27 pm

hokie carla

I've never heard of a chav!

1:28 pm

hokie carla

but looking at the def., sounds very similar

1:30 pm

zoozzoom

I hear they are adding a new meaning to the word Lockdown in the Oxford dictionary.

1:30 pm

moolingwa

well, my last word is an st6 it seems

1:30 pm

moolingwa

ah, found it

1:30 pm

hokie carla

just struggled with an st6

1:30 pm

hokie carla

but found it

1:30 pm

moolingwa

fw

1:30 pm

hokie carla

well done!

1:31 pm

zoozzoom

Congrats, Mool!

1:31 pm

hokie carla

still 4 to go here. 3 T's and an A I skipped.

1:31 pm

moolingwa

yeah, no clues today...a good grid

1:32 pm

hurshy

who'd have thunk be6 would count

1:33 pm

hokie carla

a bone I should've seen and an english spelling. RME

1:33 pm

moolingwa

Bea's aunt

1:33 pm

hokie carla

hurshy, not me. I even blurted it in the chat this morning when Bea said her great aunt was in the grid.

1:34 pm

hokie carla

2 5/10s left. can I monkey them? surely.

1:36 pm

zoozzoom

All those 5/10s have been in grids before.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

OMG, why could I not see AR5/10. finally got it and it's an everyday word.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

so probably should have gotten half of my last 12 without the list.

1:38 pm

zoozzoom

Congrats for when you finish, Hokie. I need to go. Toodle pips!

1:39 pm

hokie carla

finished, but thanks, zooz! have a good day.

1:43 pm

moolingwa

nice going hoke

i can't get past thinking the go6/24 should be goiter

3:38 pm

hokie carla

3:38 pm

JaxH66

8:54 pm

dan2bit

hunting for the or5 that isn't a trip around a st4

8:57 pm

grannyrose

hey dan. or5. ends with ending of excuse given to police

8:57 pm

dan2bit

suspect I'm all by myself though :-)

8:57 pm

grannyrose

*waves to Dan* hello mate

9:05 pm

dan2bit

granny! how are you getting on, love?

9:06 pm

grannyrose

not so well Dan. the old ticker is playing up and i have had to cancel the surgery scheduled for next week.

9:06 pm

grannyrose

how are you all coping? i have been watching your posts on FB eagerly. i know you wouldn't post false news.

9:09 pm

grannyrose

i'm so upset too as two lovely christian lady friends of mine are carrying on like DJT has been poorly done by. and i going (excuse the language) WTF have you two not seen?

9:10 pm

dan2bit

I'm so sorry. I hope you will find relief soon. We are just watching the clock tick away and hoping for a smooth transition that can quickly start moving help to where it's needed. The areas where 45 got the most support are seeing the biggest surge in cases, and they can least support it with the health infrastructure being thin

9:11 pm

dan2bit

it is such a shame that he and his enablers primarily even now think of covid as a public relations problem not a real health crisis

9:11 pm

dan2bit

but what about my missing or5? :-)

9:12 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* did you blink? nm. or5 ends with the ending of the excuse you give to police.

9:18 pm

dan2bit

thanks for repeating!

9:18 pm

dan2bit

that's my firewords

9:26 pm

Uneaixoise

Enjoy!

9:35 pm

grannyrose

i think i should of sat in the tub with that one. juice from here to Christmas...loll

9:36 pm

grannyrose

how are you Une?

9:43 pm

NANCY

granny I am with you completely on the present so called leader. He is so evil and trying to make anything and everything as hard as possible for our new president.

9:46 pm

NANCY

He is a very sick man. I read the book his niece Mary wrote and she says her grandfather ruined the Donald from an early age to keep him devoid of any empathy, feelings and the only think of himself. Nonetheless, no excuse for the cult members who have swallowed the koolaid they dont believe anything but the lies that djt spews constantly.

9:47 pm

grannyrose

Nancy, it's quite hard for those of us who don't live in the States. we only have the info which is given to us through the media.

9:48 pm

grannyrose

and of course friends within the States whom i know personally. which is why i am so upset about my friends stance. i simply cannot believe what they are spouting.

9:49 pm

NANCY

He should have NEVER been elected in the first place. He is a total failure and nothing but a realty show host. It has brought all the sickos in our society to follow him because they are racists and never liked Obama who is worlds and worlds above him in every way.

9:52 pm

NANCY

Well, just know that the nonsense you are hearing from your friends is not going to win in the end. I just feel bad that America has become a joke but still hold hope that Biden will repair the damage. Trumps only accomplishment is to destroy as much of our country as he can. He wants to be a Putin as he admires what he thinks is power. I cannot wait until the whole crooked administration and family is out of the white house. They are all only in for power and money.

9:54 pm

NANCY

There are multiple lawsuits awaiting him the minute January 21 arrives. I am hoping some of them finally nail him and his next home is in prison.

9:55 pm

grannyrose

oh Nancy, it isn't your country that is being laughed at scornfully. believe me. our hearts are breaking with what you are all suffering. it is so wrong on so many levels.

9:58 pm

NANCY

Thank you for that. It is uplifting to hear that from another country. Biden does care about our people and the country so things are sure to improve. Have been following your health problems and sorry that your next surgery has to be delayed. Growing old is only for the strong so sending you hugs and best wishes.

9:58 pm

Gillie

Even in the states, in seems there are people who know only what from certain news sources, e.g. Fox (although even Fox has declared Biden the winner), and possibly malicious items spread on Facebook?

9:59 pm

grannyrose

and believe it or not, DJT's followers are also to be prayed for. they have been following a very bad example of human behaviour.

10:00 pm

Gillie

Although it seems like anyone who has paid attention to what he says and does should realize that he just is a self-interested grifter and compulsive liar.

10:00 pm

NANCY

I have friends and even family members who drank the cult way of life. They only watch fox which is nothing but a propaganda machine and does not give the truth in any kind of news.

10:00 pm

grannyrose

i've seen the verbal attacks on FB. as i said, DJTs followers are not nice people.

10:02 pm

NANCY

Gillie, you would think but they do not listen to anything that makes sense, only follow what their leader spews out which is all lies.

10:02 pm

grannyrose

well i went to Politico to fact check both candidates. what is being said about Joe Biden has no truth in it at all.

10:04 pm

grannyrose

bbl. have laundry to sort and start the washer. xx

10:04 pm

NANCY

Good for you. He is a fine outstanding human and will do everything he can to help us return to a somewhat normal country.

10:05 pm

Gillie

Even Trump`s latest campaign to raise funds, supposedly to expose election fraud, says in the fine print that only donations of $8000 will be used (in part) for that purpose. The rest goes mainly to cover his debts and also to the RNC.

10:07 pm

NANCY

He is and has been a criminal all his life. Now he is cornered with no way out and no one to bail him out. How people can even think of sending this grifter a dime is beyond me. Especially since our economy is in the toilet.

10:08 pm

Gillie

Trump's debts are probably the main reason he wanted to be president, although he does love adulation. As president, he could both profit and offer favors to those he owed the most money to.

10:10 pm

NANCY

Very true, he probably owes Putin a bundle of dough.

10:17 pm

mixi6

I listened to part of the first "debate", (couldn't stomach any more) and was impressed that the Fox news anchor tried to stop Trump interrupting. It's very hard to stop a two years old tantrum politely.

10:19 pm

NANCY

He was coached to interrupt as much as possible so he would not have to answer any questions, My favorite line was Joe Biden telling him to shut up.

10:22 pm

mixi6

I thought he just wanted to talk for the hour. Equal time was 1 hour trump and 1 minute Biden. all about me, me, me. We used to have commmunity and helping. Ask not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

10:33 pm

mixi6

when I started working, it was :we want to keep our employees for 30 years and treat them accordingly", it changed to "to hell the employees, we're out to make a buck".

10:35 pm

maggiej

any hints for the ne 5?

10:39 pm

grannyrose

ne5/10. sounds like geek, but change the last cosonant,plural

10:39 pm

maggiej

tyvm

10:39 pm

grannyrose

*ugh* consonant

10:40 pm

maggiej

I understood

10:40 pm

maggiej

thanks

10:40 pm

grannyrose

yw

10:42 pm

grannyrose

mixi, we have the same attitude with our employers. to hell with nearly 50 years experience, let's employ overseas trained people because the government will pay half their wage. there is no such thing as employer loyalty any more.

10:49 pm

maggiej

I am the last direct member of a family that has controlled a closely held corporation since 1919. Of 10 employees the one with the least amount of service is 22 years. All these years my family has rewarded loyalty. It is tough navigating the political waters. One thing I am having a heck of time doing is finding a couple of millenials willing to work. We are considered to be an essential biz so we are tackling the current times. And, we have not considered accepting the the financial gambits proffered. Sorry to intrude I am a longtime lurker but just had to vent.

10:51 pm

grannyrose

go for it maggie. i agree. family run businesses tend to have a different approach to employers who work for a business syndicate.

11:02 pm

maggiej

Sorry for the dump ... just thanks your lucky stars I didn't mention my ugly divorce that has been going on for over two years, restraining orders in place so my stepson could marry in Sept and stepdaughter last month, their father has estranged absolutely everyone in his life. On that note I'll try to get to sleep another set of appts at the office tomorrow.

11:03 pm

Gillie

The business of paying half the wages of overseas employees sounds like it may be specific to Australia, but there are countries who have a combination of very low wages and many highly trained workers, so if you can use overseas labor, it can be tempting.

11:04 pm

Gillie

One of the unfortunate consequences of world-wide inequality, and hard to solve.

11:05 pm

maggiej

I will never outsource work that can be done by employees to a 3rd party anywhere. I know all the big boys play that way. But not the little guys on the block.

11:06 pm

Gillie

Yeah, and these days executives in big companies aren't necessarily loyal even to the company, never mind the employees, as long as they can find a way to line their own pockets.

11:10 pm

grannyrose

maggie, no apologies are necessary. you have a very valid point about family owned businesses. i just can't stand seeing inappropriately trained people taking over Australian jobs.

11:19 pm

grannyrose

oh dear my darling just made me belly laugh. we were "argufying' over whether my wheelie walker would fit in the back seat of our car. he says we can't do it because he's just shampooed the glove box. laughing so hard..

11:25 pm

ursh

haha Rose - we cant take too much luggage on our trip in December (food included) because the golf clubs need to fit in and hub has back issues and only putters around on the golf course !!

11:27 pm

grannyrose

roflol urshy. wanna swap ?

11:28 pm

grannyrose

or better yet, let's send them away together and we'll have our own holiday.

11:44 pm
