7:32 am

Jeanius421

I have a Peeps addiction

7:33 am

MollyL

I have always wondered about why people like Peeps. Why not just sit down with a bowl of sugar and a spoonh?

7:33 am

Jeanius421

wouldn't be the same without the marshmallow

7:33 am

Jeanius421

BTW I'm not proud of it

7:34 am

8:00 am

hokie carla

8:06 am

rururocks

good morning.. first two columns greyed

8:07 am

hokie carla

well la-di-da :D

8:07 am

hokie carla

morning, ru!

8:07 am

BzznBea

Good morning, ru.

8:09 am

hokie carla

Bea, did y'all have any storms?

8:10 am

BzznBea

No, but it looks and feels like we could at any time.

8:11 am

BzznBea

You?

8:11 am

hokie carla

we had one when I was going to sleep and mr. homie said he thought there was more through the night.

8:13 am

hokie carla

We got a ton of rain for several hours. Sadly my rain gauge is cracked again, but the street was flooded for a long time. and the street is lined with cherry trees that are in bloom, so now we have a yard full of those from them draining down. I was very confused when I first looked out.

8:15 am

BzznBea

If we do get a storm, I hope it doesn't harm my tulips.

8:15 am

hokie carla

me too! do you have a lot?

8:16 am

BzznBea

Yes. I planted about 50 in the fall. Daffs are up and in full bloom. I have hundreds of those.

8:17 am

rururocks

i really like daffodils have some in my dining room right now

8:17 am

BzznBea

They are one of my favorites.

8:18 am

hokie carla

yeah, I saw some daffodils or jonquils a few weeks ago here. I never planted any bulbs here. At my first house I planted a bunch from my grandmother, and I took some to my next house, and then brought some here and they stayed in my garage fridge for years before I threw them out.

8:18 am

bichon

carla, Bea, do you have crepe myrtles?

8:19 am

BzznBea

I don't have any.

8:19 am

hokie carla

we did, but cut them all down. they had aphids that would return every year and we could not get rid of them, even with pro help. they drop black crap all over everything.

8:20 am

hokie carla

there's still one down outside the pool gate and it still turns black every summer

8:20 am

bichon

When visting in laws in Richmond, I always admired them

8:20 am

BzznBea

They are lovely when they are in bloom. But they are a messy tree.

8:21 am

rururocks

those were crap myrtles hokie

8:21 am

hokie carla

they are pretty, and I see neighbors' trees without the aphids so I don't know how we got the aphids and they didn't.

8:21 am

hokie carla

so true, ru

8:21 am

BzznBea

And it's crepe murder when they cut them back every year.

8:23 am

hokie carla

yeah, they're not supposed to be done that way but all the landscapers do

8:23 am

MollyL

We get our first 80-degree day of the year today. But damaging winds will put a negative spin on that.

8:23 am

hokie carla

only supposed to be 78 here. 68 right now.

8:27 am

hokie carla

oh, the humanity - 33 A;s on one

8:28 am

BzznBea

I knew you would love all the A's today

8:29 am

BzznBea

8:29 am

hokie carla

BzznBea

9:17 am

MollyL

Oh damn, it's Greek, that's why he knew the IA

9:17 am

hokie carla

I keep seeing clamato even though it's not there and it is a proper noun

9:18 am

MollyL

I can't think of anything more repulsive than clam and tomato juice mixed together

9:19 am

rururocks

i can

9:19 am

hokie carla

agreed, one of our friends used to always use it as a mixer for something. I don't know. I was like, I can't believe anyone buys that.

9:19 am

rururocks

pickled oysters and tequilla

9:19 am

MollyL

Okay Ru, you win. That is more repulsive

9:20 am

MollyL

People use it as a mixer for Bloody Marys

9:20 am

rururocks

guaranteed to make you puke

9:20 am

MollyL

It's called a Bloody Ceasar, I don't know why

9:21 am

rururocks

nice grid today.. not too difficult

9:21 am

hokie carla

caesar ate clams?

9:21 am

hokie carla

that is interesting

9:21 am

rururocks

guessing that's caesar?

9:21 am

MollyL

They are never too difficult for you, Rainman

9:21 am

hokie carla

this grid is pretty hard for its size

9:21 am

hokie carla

(sorry, TWSS)

9:22 am

MollyL

Yeah, whatever. I can never spell that word right

9:22 am

rururocks

LOL what's TWSS?

9:22 am

hokie carla

that's what she said

9:22 am

hokie carla

didn't want people clutching their pearls

9:22 am

rururocks

I was gonna say

9:22 am

MollyL

It is the sound people make when they have read too many anagrams

9:23 am

rururocks

(listens to three hundred hail mary's)

9:23 am

MollyL

*Hears the tea cups clattering

9:23 am

hokie carla

I'm sure ruru will remember this one in the future with context so I don't cause a ruckus.

9:24 am

hokie carla

but he will probably ask again what it means just to get me in trouble ;)

9:25 am

rururocks

I'm thinkin' about it

9:25 am

rururocks

hokie has a firm grip on the grid

9:25 am

BzznBea

What does it mean?

9:26 am

hokie carla

not really, falling kind of flat here

9:26 am

rururocks

72 Temple Owl

3:40 pm

6:04 pm

hokie carla

now down to 4 TR

6:04 pm

amelu0218

I always kick myself on the 4 letter words where the same letters make multiple words. I do dumb stuff like forgetting to reverse the two center vowels or, really, any two letters... *rolls eyes*

6:05 pm

hokie carla

well, you shouldn't kick yourself, we all do it

6:05 pm

joym999

me too. I've been known to get desktops but not desk or tops.

6:05 pm

6:18 pm

amelu0218

I think it's considered 2 words.

6:18 pm

amelu0218

But why it will take adman/admen I know not.

6:19 pm

LuvWordGames

titman yes, but not hitman

6:19 pm

amelu0218

Right??

6:20 pm

LuvWordGames

gotta love Enable :-(

6:20 pm

amelu0218

Yeah, not so much... lol

6:23 pm

hokie carla

6:26 pm

LuvWordGames

hello Trifi

6:26 pm

6:28 pm

6:29 pm

LuvWordGames

I just googled it "Enable word list" and came up with several sites. I hesitate to copy link into chat because I don't know how to tiny urls

6:30 pm

amelu0218

thanks for the na7 Luv!

6:30 pm

Rainiqui

All the Google sites are not the one I had. It was in a spreadsheet format.

6:30 pm

LuvWordGames

Sorry Rain, I don't have that one

6:31 pm

Rainiqui

Thanks anyway, I just wish I could remember the man's name who put it together. I think there was a link on his profile page.

6:32 pm

Rainiqui

Is there a list of all Babblers ?

6:33 pm

LuvWordGames

I guess you could look at the rankings, that would probably list them all

6:34 pm

joym999

Thanks, Luv. I'd swear I tried that already, but I guess not

6:34 pm

Rainiqui

ok, I'll try that, thanks

6:38 pm

6:40 pm

LuvWordGames

6:41 pm

a very sad loss indeed.....Ramona was a beloved childhood friend, as was the mouse that rode the motorcycle.

6:41 pm

6:41 pm

JaxH66

Could I have a clue for the x please?

6:41 pm

hi peach, she's doing good now, recovered from a back injury that I don't know how she got. How about your fur baby?

6:51 pm

gapeach

She has a heart murmur and has to take meds twice per day for the rest of her life......think she's about eleven now....she is a rescue but I've had her most of her life. Please say a prayer for her and I will certainly say one for yours. Give her a hug from me.

6:52 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks! Sorry to hear, I will keep her in my thoughts. They are a part of the family that's for sure

6:53 pm

gapeach

Thank you.

7:09 pm

grannyrose

i think i need to go BACK to bed...loll. *WTG*

7:10 pm

LuvWordGames

Well at least it wasn't another typo! My tablet kept auto correcting WTG to WTF. I no longer use my tablet to Babble! LOL

7:10 pm

justafreep

Well, grannyrose, at least you used H not an earlier consonant!

7:11 pm

Trifioso

im really flagging. I hope to make it to halfway, but there is no tired like friday teacher tired....

7:12 pm

LuvWordGames

ugh, good luck Trif, I'm heading out. Good "seeing" everyone

7:12 pm

Trifioso

take care Luv

7:12 pm

grannyrose

freep ! i did that once before. using a K instead of a J. it was very embarrassing. i even made ruru laugh.

7:15 pm

Trifioso

i don't have anything bigger than a seven. what a shame to have no brain on a big grid day

7:16 pm

MollyL

Oh, I disagree. Those of us who work other jobs know all about Friday tired. It's not exclusive to teachers.

7:16 pm

grannyrose

an8 sounds like the response to a question, without the w

7:18 pm

Trifioso

ha! thank you!

7:19 pm

MollyL

Ru, LOVE the new icon.

7:20 pm

grannyrose

fortunately, only a few vocations contain, physical, emotional, psychological, and mental stress. each and every time when worked.

7:20 pm

Trifioso

agreed, granny - you speak very wisely

7:22 pm

grannyrose

of course, the challenge of a job like that is being able to arise above it all. the adrenaline released while working does give a special kind of tiredness when levels start to lower.

7:22 pm

MollyL

I can assure you that my work is stress 40 hours a week. Friday is the best day of my week. Also the one where I feel the most worn out.

7:24 pm

grannyrose

then welcome to the club Molly. i can truly empathise with you.

7:26 pm

rururocks

I take fridays off now so that I don't have the stress

7:26 pm

grannyrose

i once laughed at some-one who said people who work these jobs are adrenaline addicted. i now know quite differently. and it is very hard to break the cycle and continue to work. one of the reasons i am glad i am retired.

7:28 pm

rururocks

glad you like the icon molly.. cracked me up too

7:30 pm

grannyrose

will return at the flip. i really must look like i care about the chores waiting to be done. frankly, i don't. not at the moment anyway. the last few years have taught me a lot about letting go, and not worry about what other people think of me. xx

7:30 pm

rururocks

hey..it's your birthday.. screw the chores

10:48 pm

hurshy

i was reading a compilation of horrible things people thought about naming their babies and La7 was one of them. the nurse literally had to explain to the new mother what a la7 in order to get her not to name her baby that.

10:49 pm

Cosmo Kramer

La7 as a baby name? ohhhh

10:49 pm

hurshy

yeah...

10:50 pm

hurshy

luckily she WAS talked out of it!

10:53 pm

joym999

OMG could you imagine a child with that name? Yikes.

10:53 pm

Cosmo Kramer

My friend's parents were going to name him Anal.
In Hindi it has a different pronunciation and means Fire. Lucky for him, they didn't

10:53 pm

hurshy

i encountered a child whose last name was Money and her parents named her Stoelynn. when i saw it i was just like, "you did not do that to your child!"

10:56 pm

joym999

I need help w/ the TR7 plz

10:56 pm

hurshy

you wouldn't think you could plural the tr6 because you'd think it is an adjective applied to the Christian God

10:56 pm

hurshy

yet somehow, you can

10:57 pm

joym999

thanks hurshy

11:04 pm

hurshy

11:05 pm

Cosmo Kramer

hurshy

you mean Ms. i suppose ;)

11:06 pm

hurshy

thank you

11:07 pm

Cosmo Kramer

yeah Ms.

11:09 pm

hurshy

i explained the various forms to my elementary students. i said, there was once a time when people thought that the most important thing to know about a woman was whether or not she was married, so married women were Mrs. and unmarried women were Miss. but all men were Mr. and then people started to think that was ridiculous, and that women should have a term that all can use, since that is NOT the most important thing to know about a woman, so they came up with Ms.

11:10 pm

hurshy

and my students were all like, yeah, that IS pretty ridiculous

11:16 pm

hurshy

ok, two left. so6 and us6
