1:04 am

grannyrose

ikr? and every time i try it...

1:06 am

joym999

LOL. Glad I'm not the only one who retypes as if it'll suddenly come to its senses.

1:06 am

grannyrose

one can hope, surely...

1:28 am

grannyrose

hey Joy. want to really do your head in? realtor IS in a2z dictionary. not enable. go figure....loll

1:31 am

joym999

so unfair!

2:55 am

jwr

joy - I looked up realtor awhile back - it's a registered trademark of the National Association of Realtors and regularly capitalized as such - so our dear enable wouldn't use it.

4:15 am

mattygroves

Ouhaurg The Mumbler is a poker buddy of Hagar The Horrible

7:51 am

dauber

Given the circumstances, given MollyL's suggestion...I'm going to type "realtor" in the chat because it appears to be random letters.

Hi all. Any clues for the 10 or 9s?

8:00 am

dauber

Nothing for me yet, but I'm guessing those 9s and 10 will probably have "-ed" as a suffix.

8:03 am

mkg

Did anyone give stats for the x word?

8:03 am

dauber

xe5/20

8:04 am

dauber

By the way, "realtor" isn't in the dictionary.

8:05 am

dauber

Just wanted to warn you before you try it. :)

8:05 am

MollyL

We have that discussion every time realtor is in the grid. It is a registered trademark and a proper adjective.

8:05 am

BzznBea

It is a copyrighted word or something

8:05 am

MollyL

And not all the long words end in ed

8:06 am

dauber

That's crazy! never knew that! Interestingly, Webster's definition is recursive. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictio\nnary/Realtor

8:06 am

mkg

I am a realtor so i know this.

8:06 am

dauber

Basically, it says if you're a realtor, it means you belong to the National Association of Realtors.

8:06 am

mkg

Copyrighted. You cant say you are a realtor unless you have certain quaifications.

8:07 am

dauber

How do you join that, then? I guess by being....a Realtor. But how do you become a Realtor? By joining the National Association of realtors.

8:07 am

dauber

It's like not finding work without experience, but to get experience you need to work.

8:07 am

mkg

You need to take a course and pass an two exams.

8:07 am

MollyL

To become a member of an association you have to have certain credentials.

8:09 am

dauber

The things you learn when playing Babble...

8:10 am

mkg

You must take the course and pass it with the exam at the end, and then take an exam given by the state you live in, and then you must join the associations which monitor behavior and assure that you do not do anything illegal. You belong to three associations: one local, one state and one national. You pay dues to them and they are involved with lockboxes and with any and all complaints against you if you do anything illegal or unethical.

8:12 am

mkg

Cant find the x word

8:12 am

dauber

If you know about the chemical element, it starts like that.

8:13 am

MollyL

I need to get in the association business. Get people to pay you dues so you can police them.

8:14 am

dauber

Funny you should mention it. I'm part of the online letter games association.

8:14 am

hokie carla

I keep trying rolator and rolate

8:14 am

dauber

You can Venmo me the fees.

8:15 am

MollyL

Thanks but we have already had our financial scams in this place.

8:15 am

hokie carla

we did?

8:15 am

dauber

Oh, it's not a scam: I'm actually being honest in telling you that I want your money. :)

8:16 am

dauber

hokie - yes, we did. Give me five bucks and I'll tell you about them.

8:17 am

MollyL

Yep, you were not around then Carla. Someone offered to collect money to help out a player in need and then that someone (possibly two people) kept the money that was collected.

8:17 am

hokie carla

sure thing, dauber, give me your bank account and I'll send it to you.

8:17 am

hokie carla

Good morning, welki.

8:18 am

hokie carla

bea!

8:19 am

BzznBea

Hey, Carla.

8:19 am

MollyL

Unfortunately, there are some people here who will throw money at anything, no matter how sketchy it sounds.

8:21 am

welki

there may be, but it's not fair to lump those of us who trusted wildcat to do the right thing

8:21 am

MollyL

No sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

8:23 am

hokie carla

here's a NTPN no one will get - annual mt. bike race in NC. mr. homie has done it twice but only finished once.

8:24 am

dauber

I had to look up NTPN...is that the part that "no one will get"?? Because even after finding several definitions, I don't get it. :/

8:25 am

BzznBea

It's a Babble thinkg.

8:25 am

BzznBea

Name That Proper Noun

8:25 am

hokie carla

sorry, NTPN is only here. name that proper noun!

8:25 am

MollyL

Carla is unable to type in whole words.

8:26 am

hokie carla

and noun was in the grid yesterday so I had to acronym it then

8:26 am

BzznBea

Is it the TORL?

8:26 am

hokie carla

but FTR, the answer is also an acronym - ORAMM - off-road assault on Mt. Mitchell.

8:27 am

BzznBea

Where is Mt. Mitchell?

8:27 am

dauber

Having said that...113 left for me, but sadly, my job isn't going to do itself...gotta clock in.

8:28 am

hokie carla

kinda Asheville. you know it's the highest point east of the mississippi, right?

8:28 am

hokie carla

8:38 am

hokie carla

I have been on most of the entire road. mr. homie biked it a couple of summers ago. I dropped him off at the start in VA and drove it all the way to I-77, then I met him a couple of times and then again at the end in Cherokee.

8:39 am

mkg

Got the x word finally. Ugh.

8:39 am

MollyL

He biked 469 miles?

8:41 am

hokie carla

well, there was a small portion that I drove him on because it was like 15 miles of gravel while they were doing road construction, but yes, pretty much.

8:41 am

hokie carla

he stayed at B&B's and sketchy motels along the way. took about a week.

8:42 am

mkg

My daughter in law did a bike trip from calif to maine. She was young then, a teenager.

8:44 am

11:32 am

hokie carla

well xerox is, not bandaid

11:38 am

MollyL

realtor is a proper adjective. It is the trademark that Enable objects to, I think.

11:55 am

dcseain

realtor is a trademark of the National Association of Realtors, yes, at least in the US.

11:55 am

hokie carla

well in the UK they call them estate agents

11:56 am

dcseain

true that!

11:56 am

dauber

And in the UK they use "hoover" as a new generic for vacuum cleaner.

In the UK, we often use far ruder words...they're not the most respected of professions ;)

11:56 am

hokie carla

and I disagree that it's an adjective. clearly describes a person, place, or thing.

11:57 am

mattygroves

Many people in the UK use 'red sauce' for ketchup and 'brown sauce' for steak sauce. Nothing if not descriptive

11:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, first time I heard hoover was at my scottish friend's soccer place. I was like, are you using a brand name as a verb?

11:59 am

hokie carla

I also struggled the first time I heard them say caravan and caravan parks for camping. caravan has a much different def. here.

11:59 am

dcseain

my grandparents used hovver like that. But that fell out of use here in the US>

12:00 pm

hokie carla

interesting. I don't rem. ever hearing my grandmother say that.

12:01 pm

MollyL

I say red sauce for marinara or spaghetti sauce. I have never used that phrase for ketchup.

12:02 pm

dcseain

Well, due to great-grandparents bonnet for hood of car, windscreen, windscreen wipers, and some other Brishisms are common in my family.

12:03 pm

dcseain

yes, red sauce is marinara over here usually. Though in New Mexico, it's red chili sauce as opposed to green chili sauce.

12:03 pm

moolingwa

car park

12:05 pm

hokie carla

molly, if you were from philly you would call spaghetti sauce gravy. that's insane.

12:06 pm

MollyL

An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun. It "describes" or "modifies" a noun. Realtor describes a person in the National Association of Realtors.

12:06 pm

hokie carla

where you park the cars? would have never known. ;)

12:06 pm

bichon

You hear gravy a lot in "The Sopranos"

12:07 pm

MollyL

People from Philly are a little off. Ask anyone who has been to an Eagles game. They can testify.

12:07 pm

clg47

I know I have a friend that said 'I am going to make some spaghetti gravy and we will have dinner together tonight." I did not know what to expect & I did not watch the Sopranos

12:07 pm

dcseain

philly sports fans are the worst.

12:08 pm

hokie carla

at least they said "spaghetti gravy" clg. my friend just says gravy and I think of biscuits and gravy.

12:08 pm

dcseain

gravy to mean spaghetti sauce is Philly/NJ, yeah. Sounds weird to me, but i understand it.

12:08 pm

wvteach

clg47

12:12 pm

hokie carla

I understand they do it, I don't understand why

12:15 pm

mattygroves

A sweater is a jumper. A jumper is a pinafore dress. Sneakers are trainers. Pumps are court shoes. Don't even get me started on plimsoles ;)

12:17 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I had to explain our jumper on reddit recently, and I said pinafore dress :D

12:20 pm

maccafixx

last ta 6/18?

12:23 pm

bichon

we always wore jumpers in elemantary school

12:23 pm

moolingwa

flip flops in australia are thongs....they're jandals in new zealand

12:23 pm

moolingwa

jumpers are jerseys in NZ

12:23 pm

bichon

tear

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I've heard thongs and that makes me laugh

12:24 pm

bichon

sorry

12:24 pm

hokie carla

like sports jerseys? so, not sweaters like in UK?

12:24 pm

moolingwa

no, sweaters are jerseys :)

12:24 pm

hokie carla

sorry, macca, I don't have any ta6

12:24 pm

moolingwa

occasionally you're also here guernsey

12:25 pm

moolingwa

here=hear

12:25 pm

hokie carla

isn't guernsey a cow?

12:25 pm

mattygroves

We're all separated by a common language ;)

12:25 pm

moolingwa

guernsey and jersey are the channel islands in the UK

12:25 pm

moolingwa

they do have several things named after them

12:25 pm

mattygroves

Your spackle is my polyfilla. Your anchors are my rawlplugs.

12:26 pm

hokie carla

lol, but what's gravy?

12:26 pm

moolingwa

oh, sticky tape in NZ is Sellotape

12:26 pm

moolingwa

if you're in Philly, gravy is pasta sauce :)

12:26 pm

mattygroves

It's Sellotape here too. Durex in Britain is a brand of condom. I hear that downunder it's sellotape

12:26 pm

bichon

I find it amusing the Canadians spel words with a u, like neighbour

12:27 pm

moolingwa

I find it amusing that americans say "noo" for new....I ask them where they sit in a church

12:27 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I know you don't read the chat moo. philly gravy already discussed.

12:27 pm

moolingwa

and macaroni too I suspect

12:28 pm

moolingwa

and hoagies

12:28 pm

hokie carla

what do you suspect macaroni of?

12:28 pm

moolingwa

all pasta is macaroni

12:29 pm

moolingwa

so it's macaroni and gravy

12:32 pm

hokie carla

oh, I haven't heard that

12:33 pm

hokie carla

so, you all are saying what we call scotch tape is sellotape?

12:34 pm

moolingwa

yep

12:35 pm

mattygroves

Yep

12:35 pm

moolingwa

and heros/subs are hoagies in Philly

12:35 pm

MollyL

The most potentially embarrassing difference in UK vs US is the use of the word fanny

12:35 pm

mattygroves

Oh yeah. You do NOT want to say you have a fanny pack in the UK

12:35 pm

MollyL

Heros/subs are grinders in Connecticut

12:35 pm

moolingwa

the way australians name a glass of beer varies a lot by state...can be quite intimidating :)

12:36 pm

mattygroves

Also, though it's falling out of use, rubber=eraser. So you can borrow someone's rubber and then return it when you're through

12:36 pm

MollyL

You don't really want to say you swatted someone on the fanny either

12:36 pm

moolingwa

yeah, rubbers in NZ/Aus too

12:36 pm

mattygroves

Trump might, Molly ;) (grab them by...etc)

12:37 pm

MollyL

Here in the US we frown on borrowing rubbers or using someone else's, since to us, rubbers are condoms.

12:37 pm

hokie carla

bum bag

12:37 pm

moolingwa

there you go

12:37 pm

dauber

My dad always used the term "rubbers" to mean galoshes.

12:37 pm

moolingwa

serviette for napkin

12:38 pm

moolingwa

nappies for diapers

12:38 pm

mattygroves

My dad did too! I'd forgotten about that!

12:38 pm

hokie carla

I've seen that on napkin packs, thought it was just some french canadian thing

12:38 pm

moolingwa

my ex-bro in law went to australia and made the mistake of asking for an extra nappy at a restaurant

12:38 pm

welki

here, they say "pissed" if someone is drunk, not pissed off

12:38 pm

rururocks

after I was born my father always used rubbers :D

12:38 pm

MollyL

I hope those guys kept their rain shoes and birth control straight

12:39 pm

hokie carla

taking the piss is one of my fave britishisms

12:39 pm

moolingwa

hopefully he wasn't trying to erase you ru :)

12:39 pm

dcseain

rubbers are a word for galoshes :)

12:39 pm

moolingwa

oh yes, gumboots in NZ

12:39 pm

moolingwa

wellingtons still used some in australia

12:40 pm

rururocks

that'd be extra kinky molly :D

12:41 pm

welki

i get messed up when i have to spell the letter Z to someone - if on the phone with US, it's Zee, here, Zed (and yep, some folks don't know they're the same)

12:41 pm

moolingwa

In australia you could be pissed that your piss tastes like piss and so you won't get pissed

12:42 pm

rururocks

ewww

12:42 pm

dcseain

My family says zed, though i heard z on the radio.

12:42 pm

moolingwa

I'm the lone zedder in my family

12:42 pm

welki

singing the ABC song must be problematic for canadian parents

12:43 pm

welki

and 'from a to zed' just doesn't sound right

12:43 pm

hokie carla

I used zed here just yesterday.

12:44 pm

hokie carla

I also love using "maths" for math. and I've heard /read drugs bust, whereas here it's drug bust.

12:44 pm

welki

we finally got our vaccine appointments - march 31 - yay us!

12:44 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :)

12:45 pm

rururocks

12:45 pm

rururocks

12:45 pm

dcseain

congrats, welki

12:45 pm

cybernan

lol

12:45 pm

welki

it'll be a relief when both are done, but no idea when the second injection will happen

12:46 pm

rururocks

getting my second poke today welki

12:46 pm

dcseain

sigh. I get my 2nd next Thursday.

12:46 pm

welki

i hope it goes well for both of you, no side effects

12:46 pm

rururocks

any truth to the rumor that Canada is changing its name to Nannia?

12:47 pm

cybernan

hubby getting 1st shot today -- mine is scheduled for a week Sunday

12:47 pm

dcseain

i had side effiects from dose 1. i shudder to think how dose 2 will go.

12:47 pm

rururocks

me too dc

12:48 pm

dcseain

best with it, ruru

12:48 pm

MollyL

The ABC song with zed sounds so funny...QRSTUV...WXY and ZED. It's like CLUNK

12:48 pm

dcseain

though zed rhymes with said. :)

12:50 pm

mattygroves

My first shot is Wednesday - probably AZ

12:50 pm

cybernan

but the rhyming words ar gee, pee and zee

12:51 pm

cybernan

seain and ru -- which vaccine did you get?

12:51 pm

dcseain

yay matty.

12:51 pm

dcseain

i received Pfizer

12:52 pm

rururocks

pfizer here too hurt like hell

12:52 pm

cybernan

I think that's what we are getting as well

12:53 pm

Haz1558

I had Pfizer, a slight sore arm, no other symptoms. I think it just varies from person to person.

12:53 pm

dcseain

the injection and injection site neither hurt nor swelled for me. Extreme fatigue, headache galore though, for three days.

12:53 pm

mattygroves

Apparently, younger people tend to suffer more from side effects than older. Also, you're more likely to have side effects if you've already had COVID. Other than that, it's a crap shoot

12:53 pm

welki

here's hoping the second dose is a walk in the park

12:54 pm

cybernan

well what is one more? -- arms and leg still sore and bruised from last week's fall.

12:54 pm

dcseain

based on my symptoms from shot one, i think i may have had asymptomatic covid. I'm breathing better now.

12:54 pm

dcseain

heal well, nan

12:54 pm

dauber

My wife and I had our second Moderna doses two weeks ago. Other than tightness/soreness in the injection spot, we felt nothing other than being kind of fatigued the next day.

12:54 pm

Katryxx

Hi wordy people :) I had my second pfizer shot a week ago yesterday. I read somewhere that broccoli helps ease some of the side effects of the shot, so I had broccoli for 3 of 4 meals before my shot.

12:55 pm

dcseain

huh. I eat a lot of broccoli.

12:55 pm

Katryxx

My arm was much more sore after the second shot, but I did a lot of deltoid arm raises to work the muscle which was hard, but made my arm feel perfectly fine the next day.

12:56 pm

Katryxx

I was REALLY tired all the day after, but then had NO other side effects.

12:56 pm

mattygroves

I'm really tired today...and haven't yet had a vaccine. Perhaps I'm having pre-effects ;)

12:58 pm

rururocks

that was a rumor brought up by a broccoli farmer katryxx ;D

1:00 pm

Katryxx

Haha, maybe! But I did read some stuff about it having an antioxidant that reduced inflammation. I was also mis-diagnosed as being allergic to broccoli, and only recently discovered that I'm not actually allergic, so I GLEEFULLY scarfed ALL the broccoli I could haha

1:00 pm

dcseain

hm. need to go see what the cat knoked down

1:01 pm

mattygroves

Better, probably, than having to see what the cat dragged in

1:04 pm

hokie carla

LOL, how gassy were you when they gave you the shot, Kat?

1:13 pm

MollyL

The COVID vaccine helps your body to build up immunity so you won't GET COVID. It doesn't CURE COVID.

1:15 pm

hokie carla

what is this other R on the bottom?

1:17 pm

MollyL

1:18 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks molly

1:22 pm

cybernan

sorry - thought you wanted the bottom r

1:23 pm

MollyL

That is the bottom R

1:23 pm

KnightTime

there is no ro 4,6

1:24 pm

cybernan

this is an r 4 and an r 6 unless we are playing different grids

1:24 pm

KnightTime

you are correct, there is an r4 and an r6, but there is no ro 4,6

1:25 pm

cybernan

there is no ro 4/6 you mean?

1:25 pm

KnightTime

as clued at 1:17 by you

1:26 pm

MollyL

All the ro words come from the 4th row R. The bottom r words are ra

1:27 pm

cybernan

ah - see -- usually the comma is used to indicate 2 words, where has the forward lash indicates letter/points

1:28 pm

KnightTime

of course, no one ever clues a single word using commas.

1:28 pm

cybernan

not normally, no

1:41 pm

yes -- realized later that the one I had come from the other r

i know this not because i know classics well, but because Agatha Christie wrote a series of 12 short stories in which Hercule Poirot did cases that somehow paralleled each of the 12 labors of his namesake, Hercules

6:38 pm

ChampFit

I have it! 12 Labours of Hercules

6:38 pm

hurshy

:D

6:40 pm

hurshy

i liked The Stymphalian Birds one

6:40 pm

ChampFit

My middle child is an Agatha Christie fanatic. When she graduated college we planned her grad trip around The Mousetrap in London. Saw the play in the theater there where it's played forever.

6:40 pm

hurshy

where Hastings was soooo suspicious of these "evil" looking old women and was totally wrong about who was criminal

6:40 pm

hurshy

yes, i saw the Mousetrap in London as well!

6:40 pm

ChampFit

Ah, my good man Hastings!

6:41 pm

ChampFit

It was so worth it! Memorable. And somehow, we didn't kill each other after the 10 day trip.

6:42 pm

hurshy

i appreciate Christie very much, but when all's said and done, she was no Dorothy Sayers. her mysteries have so much more character development and depth... they're so masterful.

6:43 pm

ChampFit

She's an easy read, and I love the characters.

6:44 pm

hurshy

even if you completely remember "whodunit" they are so enjoyable to read again at any time, because there's way more to them than the mystery itself

6:44 pm

ChampFit

What did you think of the latest Murder on the Orient Express?

6:44 pm

ChampFit

Movie

6:44 pm

hurshy

haven't seen it yet, i don't think?

6:45 pm

hurshy

that is the one Christie book that i find hardest to revisit since the solution is SO memorable. most of them, after awhile you might forget the solution because it really could be almost anybody that did the deed.

6:45 pm

ChampFit

Don't. My daughter was appalled. Google it for the trailer. So many missteps. We cringed through most of it.

6:45 pm

hurshy

mk thanks for the warning lol

6:46 pm

ChampFit

Most egregious, the man who plays Poirot doesn't have dark hair, and has a ridiculous moustache.

6:47 pm

hurshy

well, Christie did tend to describe his moustaches as "luxuriant"... lol
