It's what you put your titfer on!

5:46 am

worzel

barnet is a capital letter - it comes from Barnet Fair, slang for hair

7:12 am

ItalianGreyhound

The Ce 9 is new to me. Mornin, all

7:16 am

Scrabbler

Hi IG

7:17 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrabbler

7:28 am

Deeha

not sure cockney rhyming slang knew about capital letters. i'm with you Sam

7:30 am

welki

hi, everyone

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Deeha and welki.

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Welki, I saw a Daphne twin yesterday.

7:32 am

welki

oooh, a cutie! (but if really a twin, badly behaved :)

7:33 am

Scrabbler

A couple was walking with 2 spaniels. An English Springer Spaniel, and the Daphne twin. I forget, is she an English Spaniel?

7:33 am

welki

she's an English Cocker

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes.

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

Aaawww I grew up with cockers and springers :-)

7:35 am

Scrabbler

At this park there is a large dog park, so we saw SO many dogs yesterday. The biggest was a St Bernard named Bruce.

7:35 am

welki

this move is wreaking havoc on my hips and back - this old body is constantly reminding me that i'm not as young as i used to be

7:36 am

welki

bruce! that's a great name!

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no. Ouch.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

He looked like a Bruce.

7:36 am

welki

une - must have been an active house :)

7:37 am

Scrabbler

There are 3 dog parks within the park. One area is for small and old dogs. One is the main area with dozens of dogs going berzerk. Another is less used and with few dogs.

7:38 am

welki

we don't bring daphne to dog parks - too many irresponsible owners (and also because i don't trust her recall)

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I wonder how many injuries occur due to wild dogs.

7:40 am

welki

lots - i saw lots of cases of injuries (to dogs and humans) when i was working

7:40 am

Scrabbler

...which is why many people walk their dogs through the park and skip the dog park.

7:41 am

welki

"but he's not like that" "she's never been aggressive before" "she didn't do it" "he's just a big baby"

7:41 am

Scrabbler

We see many unleashed dogs when hiking and worry about aggression.

7:42 am

hurshy

my sister has a small but aggressive dog, so when unleashed dogs start to approach, she always picks her up, and then people get all offended, "he's very friendly!" and she's like, "ok but my dog ISN'T!"

7:42 am

welki

many people just dont get that, if your dog is off leash, the world is his territory, and that dogs will do what dogs do to protect it. an unrestrained, poorly trained dog is simply a dog, not anyone's pet

7:43 am

Scrabbler

That's good for her to be responsible.

7:43 am

welki

your sister is smart, hursh

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Once we were hiking down a mountain, in the rain, and a family was looking for their dog in the woods. An unleashed dog in unfamiliar territory is not good.

7:45 am

welki

here, many dogs get lured by coyotes and come to sorry endings

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Ugh

7:46 am

welki

i feel awful for the dogs (and cats, who are just hunted by coyotes), not so much for the owners who can't be bothered to properly walk their dogs or ensure their cats stay inside

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I spoke to my neighbor about her outdoor cat killing "my" birds and chipmunks. Her response was to laugh and say, "He doesn't even eat the animals he kills."

7:47 am

hurshy

yeah cause that somehow helps?

7:48 am

Scrabbler

So when he is here visiting I try to shoo him away.

7:49 am

welki

go get yourself a water pistol - hours of cheap entertainment

7:49 am

welki

tone

7:49 am

welki

oops - my weekly free clue

7:50 am

Scrabbler

That works, or the hose. I love this cat, a beautiful Siamese, but he is a murderer.

7:50 am

hurshy

hmm, i'm surprised a ba6/27 i just put in worked. i thought there was only one Ba6!

7:50 am

welki

i have 3 ba6

7:51 am

LuvWordGames

I was surprised when it worked for me too hursh

7:51 am

BzznBea

LOL! I thought the same, hurshy.

7:51 am

welki

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Clue? I have 2 ba6/24s and one ba7.

7:51 am

hurshy

Alfred is his assistant

7:51 am

hurshy

but plural

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my.

7:51 am

hokie carla

maybe they are baseball players

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, carla, that makes more sense.

7:52 am

hurshy

yeah must be baseball or cricket or whatever

7:52 am

dan2bit

morning all!

7:52 am

welki

oh i get it - they're enlisted men assigned to help officers

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Dan

7:52 am

BzznBea

Morning, Dan.

7:52 am

welki

i only know it because my step-dad talked of them during his service with the RAF

7:53 am

welki

hi dan

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must get into town to shop before the store is busy.

7:53 am

BzznBea

Carla, how did the party go?

7:53 am

hokie carla

the way that is allowed or not allowed on words here is completely random

7:53 am

hurshy

thanks for that info welki!

7:53 am

MollyL

Multiple boys dressed up for Hallween
: D

7:54 am

hokie carla

it was nice, thanks bea

7:54 am

dan2bit

how I know that miss2bit is my kid: yesterday, we scattered my stepfather's ashes at Mount Vernon, and it was a little breezy. Her quote of the day "I got some grandpa on my shoes" :-)

7:54 am

hokie carla

oh my :D

7:55 am

dan2bit

yeah, we both have a hard time being solemn :-)

7:55 am

MollyL

Yeah, kids always call it like it is.

7:55 am

BzznBea

How precious, Dan.

7:55 am

welki

7:56 am

BzznBea

Mr. Franklin and most of what you do to a full waste can.

8:04 am

hokie carla

weird one, thx

8:04 am

hurshy

interesting, wonder if that's contrasting with like conte5?

8:05 am

hokie carla

it's a past participle of be****

8:05 am

hurshy

very weird!

8:05 am

hurshy

or rather just very old, presumably, lol

8:07 am

cybernan

trying to figure out what to do with the waste can besides dump it

8:07 am

hurshy

it's full so you need to...

8:07 am

hokie carla

when you dump it how is it inside?

8:08 am

hurshy

woot, now have 30/35 of them

8:08 am

cybernan

8:17 am

cybernan

8:20 am

hokie carla

I had the 7 but missed the 6

8:23 am

hokie carla

brony - this is a real thing in case you don't know - guys who like my little pony

8:23 am

hurshy

i think i've heard of that, weirdly enough!

8:25 am

cybernan

does someone have the 9 stats and is it part of a combo?

8:25 am

hurshy

the announcer on the F1 race just said if anyone could understand what Lewis Hamilton had just said to send him a message and i understood but... there is no actual way to send him a message of course lol

8:25 am

hokie carla

LOL

8:25 am

BzznBea

Not part of a combo. Ce7.72

8:25 am

Uneaixoise

Ce9/72.....college in Shreveport

8:26 am

hurshy

turned out that the other commentator had understood anyway so it was not really a problem

8:26 am

cybernan

there's a college in shreveport? there's a shreveport?

8:27 am

cybernan

have no idea une

8:27 am

hokie carla

shreveport is in louisiana but I don't know the college

8:27 am

hurshy

shreveport, louisiana, i've heard of, but hadn't heard of the college

8:27 am

hurshy

cnan, it is a 100 year celebration

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

Google it

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

Good friend is a professor there

8:27 am

cybernan

sorry other than the ivy league uni's I have no idea about colleges in the states.

8:27 am

hokie carla

I have been to a bowl game in shreveport

8:28 am

hurshy

it is a 100 year celebration

8:28 am

hokie carla

nan doesn't google

8:28 am

cybernan

ah - the 100th anniversary :)

8:29 am

Uneaixoise

Thought you could simply google it

8:29 am

cybernan

* snap hurshy

8:30 am

hokie carla

I did, thanks, une

8:30 am

cybernan

I don't google une unless there is no other option.

8:30 am

hokie carla

but nan refuses to simply google things, one of her personal game rules

8:31 am

BzznBea

8:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, and it's her privilege to play the game the way she likes. Leave her be, please.

8:31 am

Haz1558

Apart from anything else, her husband is in hospital, so maybe cut her some slack?

8:31 am

hokie carla

I was just stating that was one of her rules, not bullying her.

8:32 am

Haz1558

It comes across as critical, even if you don't mean it.

8:32 am

hurshy

woot max is out!

8:32 am

hokie carla

well, you're coming across as criticizing me

8:32 am

hokie carla

sorry to hear about your husband, nan. hope he's on the mend soon.

8:33 am

cybernan

me too carla, but I'm afraid we might be in for a long haul

8:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, I probably am. I just feel annoyed that people feel entitled to poke fun. We all have our ways of doing things, I probably annoy some people, you probably do as well. I just got annoyed for her sake.

8:33 am

hokie carla

ugh

8:34 am

hokie carla

are they allowing you to visit?

8:34 am

cybernan

I think carla knows that I use this game to keep my brain active in my old age - hence my personal aversion to google If I can solve a clue or puzzle

8:35 am

hurshy

i think it was the fact that multiple people seemed to be reacting to the non-google preference that caused haz to react, not any particular person :)

8:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, hurshy, you're correct.

8:35 am

cybernan

yes - he can have one visitor per day. But there has been another outbreak at the hospital, so I don't know how long that will last.

8:36 am

hurshy

does he have covid, nan, or something else?

8:37 am

cybernan

no -- fluid surrounding the lungs. They suspect a tumor, but ruling everything else out first.

8:37 am

hurshy

*hugs*

8:37 am

hokie carla

ditto

8:37 am

cybernan

ty

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

Sorry, Nan, didn't know re your avoidance of Google

8:38 am

cybernan

not a problem une

8:39 am

cybernan

a lot of players like to google.

8:39 am

hurshy

i also prefer not to if i can avoid it, but i feel more strongly about it on some days than others, just depends what kind of mood i'm in i guess

8:40 am

hokie carla

I will try to get it first but will google if I can't find it. like this one I knew the beginning and ending but couldn't get it right, so I googled.

8:40 am

mael

in my head if I can figure it out from a clue in the chat it's not "cheating" haha

8:40 am

mael

and don't get me wrong, I go as far as I can and then I list if I have the time. But I definitely don't feel as accomplished when I do :)

8:40 am

hokie carla

yeah, everyone has their personal rules on that, mael

8:41 am

mael

I say as long as it's fun for you, do it however :)

8:41 am

cybernan

I list when I am tired and can't find any more words on my own or from clues in the chat

8:42 am

cybernan

Don't have a problem with listing -- still using my brain to solve the grid.

8:43 am

cybernan

Googling is kind of rote for me -- I worked as a reference librarian years ago mainly on the interlibrary loan desk.

8:44 am

cybernan

* that was before internet, when we used the world wide university network.

8:44 am

hokie carla

just found Tempe - I was watching a softball game last week and the announcer kept saying tem-PEE instead of how I've always heard it, TEMP-e. just curious if I am pronouncing it wrong my whole life.

8:44 am

rururocks

is your husband doing any better nan?

8:45 am

cybernan

still the same ru - awaiting test results

8:45 am

BzznBea

We've been watching the Softball World Series. My mom is a big fan.

8:46 am

hokie carla

nan, when I was working right out of college (pre-google), we would have something trivial come up and our secretary was like, just call the library, they can look it up and tell you. I was like, what??

8:46 am

rururocks

vent

8:46 am

rururocks

ooops

8:46 am

hokie carla

We watched the super regional when VT was in it, Bea. :D

8:46 am

hurshy

anyone else seen the Hepburn/Tracy movie "Desk Set"?

8:46 am

hokie carla

ru, I thought you were just telling nan to vent to us

8:47 am

hokie carla

nope, hurshy

8:48 am

hurshy

it was about an extremely knowledgable reference library staff feeling threatened by the advent of computers - the computer in that case being of course one of those massive things that take up half a room

8:48 am

hokie carla

lol

8:50 am

cybernan

Do you know where the movie might befound now Hurshy? Netflix, Apple?

8:51 am

hokie carla

per justwatch.com it is not streaming for free in US but you can rent it from any of them for $3.99

8:51 am

hokie carla

not sure about canada

8:51 am

cybernan

will have a look for it, ty

8:52 am

hokie carla

4.99 on apple per justwatch.com/ca

8:52 am

hurshy

it's worth it even just for the gorgeous red coat Katherine Hepburn wears in it

8:53 am

hurshy

she's one of my "idols" :)

8:53 am

Jeff7

Tracy-Hepburn made great movies together as they did in real life as well

8:53 am

cybernan

I've seen a lot of their movies, but not Desk Set

8:53 am

hokie carla

I've seen some of her movies but not sure I've ever seen one of theirs together

8:54 am

hurshy

yeah desk set isn't as well known as like Adam's Rib

8:54 am

dan2bit

8:55 am

hurshy

i guess i just happened to catch it on Turner Classic Movies or something

8:55 am

hokie carla

oh, maybe I'll see if I can stream it on that

8:55 am

cybernan

hokie carla

missed opportunities abound

9:11 am

rururocks

I"m used to it now :D

9:12 am

cybernan

I think we have learned that at certain times it is best to leave well enough alone :D

9:13 am

rururocks

yep.. best not to pay attention to it

9:14 am

penquis

wise advice...

9:14 am

9:31 am

hurshy

no, not really

9:33 am

penquis

sometimes it's hard to joke around with people here without someone finding that offensive (even when the joke wasn't directed to them)...some people are just more sensitive, I guess....

I also lost the competitive desire to play against the snooty women in the leagues. Would love to just play for fun but everyone already has their little groups for that outside of the leagues.

6:11 pm

penquis

that's too bad....we are lucky here to have a lot of people who are fun to play with....

6:11 pm

hokie carla

mr. homie wants to get into pickleball. we play in campgrounds when we can but haven't at home for some reason.

6:12 pm

penquis

pickleball is fun.....very popular here....

6:12 pm

hokie carla

it is fun, but we have only played singles. I know there's some weird scoring stuff with doubles.

6:13 pm

penquis

yes, but doubles is more fun, I think....

6:13 pm

penquis

our tennis facility sets up pickleball courts regularly....always a good turnout...

6:17 pm

hokie carla

yes, I think it is

6:18 pm

hokie carla

was just talking to some neighbors about how we wish they'd make our 2 hard courts into pickleball courts

6:18 pm

joym999

hi again. I'm preparing for a class I'm teaching tomorrow and only have time to pop in for a few minutes here and there. Not how I intended to spend this nice Sunday.

6:19 pm

penquis

you can just get a pickleball net and some chalk or tape to make the tennis court a pickleball court....our pickleball lines are painted onto the tennis courts...

6:19 pm

hokie carla

just looked up to6/18. I swear I tried that multiple times and it kept saying not a word. so weird.

6:19 pm

penquis

wb, joy...

6:19 pm

hokie carla

rehi joy

6:20 pm

hokie carla

we have had rain and storms for the last few hours

6:20 pm

joym999

why do people like pickleball so much? I've never played it.

6:20 pm

penquis

it's pretty easy to play and it's very social....

6:20 pm

penquis

not easy to play well, but easy to play...

6:21 pm

joym999

so, easier than badminton?

6:21 pm

penquis

more active, i think.....faster pace...

6:22 pm

penquis

it's very noisy....

6:22 pm

hokie carla

well, doubles is a lot less movement than tennis so it's good when you get old and broken

6:22 pm

hokie carla

and I hit forehands better in pickleball for some reason

6:22 pm

joym999

hmmm, that sounds like it could be for me. Tennis is way too active, and badminton IMO is kinda dull

6:24 pm

penquis

it's very popular....and definitely there are different levels of play...

6:25 pm

penquis

does the BE 7 start with the four letter word before it?

6:31 pm

joym999

I've got 150 words and I'm going to list, or I'll be still doing this at the flip.

6:31 pm

penquis

i listed at 42, I think.....didn't have the patience to continue....found that several words I thought I had entered weren't there...

6:35 pm

hokie carla

the be7 is a past participle of to name something

6:35 pm

hokie carla

ends in "I find you in cont***** of court!"

6:36 pm

joym999

that be7 is a bablet

6:37 pm

joym999

just listed and already I'm stuck on the AC7. A small hint, anyone?

6:37 pm

hokie carla

nail polish remover

6:37 pm

penquis

related to alcohol...

6:38 pm

penquis

6:39 pm

penquis

hi rose...

6:39 pm

grannyrose

6:40 pm

penquis

6:40 pm

grannyrose

6:44 pm

grannyrose

just popped in really. so very tired. had a bad night. this bicep tendon is still giving me grief. every time i moved in my sleep the pain woke me up. i think the GP is going to have to order another injection into it.

6:45 pm

penquis

sorry to hear that....hope you can find some relief...

6:46 pm

hokie carla

I had bicep tendonitis for a while, had several injections and later surgery, but they didn't have to detach and reattach like they were planning. hope yours gets better soon.

6:47 pm

grannyrose

amputation sounds good, at the neck. loll...and i think with todays numbers this lockdown s going to be extended again. people just will NOT stay still. i know our numbers are low compared to the USofA but it's quite frightening.

6:48 pm

grannyrose

thanx Carla. yes, surgery. not an option i want to follow but if i have to, well then i have to do so.

6:49 pm

hokie carla

mine had turned into "frozen shoulder", so they busted it up as best they could and then I had to do PT and move it as much as possible so it wouldn't freeze back.

6:51 pm

grannyrose

oh dear Carla. well i do have to give thanx that that hasn't happened. probably because i will not allow the injury stop me from doing things. have had one frozen shoulder years ago. it took a surgeon who prided himself of fast work 2 1/2 hours to clean out my shoulder joint.

6:53 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I had a partial labrum tear and a bone spur too, so I had stopped playing tennis and stuff so I didn't tear it more. eventually the injections stopped helping at all and it was just too painful.

6:53 pm

penquis

years ago i had seven and a half months of PT for a frozen shoulder...

6:54 pm

hokie carla

they think now thatfrozen shoulder is like a 2 year cycle so it would go away on its own eventually, which my mom's appears to have.

6:55 pm

penquis

mine went away almost completely with the PT....went back to playing tennis after that...

6:56 pm

grannyrose

that's interesting Carla. and i know Pen. p/t is an on-going thing for me. oh, and the good news is, my p/t has passed me along to her colleague who is a hydrotherapist. once this current cv situation resolves i am back in the pool

6:56 pm

penquis

can someone please clue the VE 7?

6:57 pm

Uneaixoise

Ba7/36 please?

6:57 pm

penquis

nice, rose....

6:58 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* reminds me of an old joke. patient after having had hand surgery, asks surgeon... will i be able to play the violin now? and the surgeon says.. of course. and the patient says... good. because i have never been able to before.

6:59 pm

penquis

ha....i remember that...

6:59 pm

grannyrose

Pen ve8s day, when you remember those who have died.

6:59 pm

penquis

duh...ty....

7:00 pm

penquis

only two words left....both en words...

7:00 pm

grannyrose

une, put most of fish catching tool after a rank of nobility

7:01 pm

hokie carla

I always heard it as piano, but a classic joke nonetheless

7:03 pm

penquis

en 6/24 anyone?

7:04 pm

grannyrose

en6. en + dress?

7:05 pm

penquis

ty...two ordinary words in a row that i missed...

7:05 pm

penquis

i am done...

7:05 pm

grannyrose

WTG PENGUIS !!

7:06 pm

penquis

tyvm....

7:06 pm

grannyrose

*eye roll* PENQUIS....LOLL

7:07 pm

grannyrose

i have always wanted to know. why penquis?

7:07 pm

penquis

It is the name of an area i used to live in....between the Penobscot and Piscataquis region.....hence Penquis....

7:08 pm

penquis

should have said rivers, not region....two rivers...

7:08 pm

grannyrose

ahhh. i see the connection now.

7:08 pm

penquis

Penquis region.....

7:09 pm

grannyrose

very clever

7:09 pm

penquis

well i did not make it up...lol....

7:09 pm

hokie carla

are you saying it's a portmanteau?

7:10 pm

penquis

guess so.....that term always confuses me....i think of it as a type of closet or bureau....

7:12 pm

penquis

i guess it's more of a bag or trunk for clothes....makes sense because it literally seems to mean coat carry...

7:13 pm

grannyrose

the other definition is the combining of two words to make a new one, like motel motor hotel) and brunch breakfast and lunch)

7:14 pm

hokie carla

oh, I never heard the closet def

7:15 pm

hokie carla

but I like to use it here whenever possible. it's kind of a game to see when I can work it in.

7:15 pm

penquis

hah!

7:15 pm

grannyrose

lol... nice Carla.

7:16 pm

penquis

i don't recall ever seeing the be 7 word here....do either of you?

7:16 pm

hokie carla

oh, the ex. merriam webster used was smog=smoke/fog

7:16 pm

hokie carla

no, new to me

7:16 pm

penquis

someone referred to it as a babblet....i think people define babblet in more than one way here....

7:17 pm

penquis

my definition is an odd word that is seen pretty often in Babble....

7:19 pm

joym999

I forgot to thank someone before for the AC7 hint. That helped.

7:19 pm

penquis

good....glad it was helpful....

7:19 pm

grannyrose

well i didn't know that. it was Lewis Carroll who introduced the word in the literary sense in Alice. when humpty dumpty is explaining to Alice the meanings of the words in Jabberwocky.

7:20 pm

hokie carla

joy called it a babblet but I'm not sure why

7:20 pm

penquis

ah yes...how do you define babblet?

7:20 pm

grannyrose

as to the be7 word. never seen it before. i had to look up the meaning.

7:21 pm

penquis

yes, i did, too....

7:21 pm

penquis

it's archaic...

7:21 pm

joym999

I define babblet as a word you'd probably never see outside of Babble. The BE7 struck me that way.

7:21 pm

hokie carla

I think of a babblet as a common word here (usually 4 or 5 letters, which makes it happen in the grid more) that you would never know otherwise.

7:21 pm

grannyrose

a little like me... except i don't go back that far...loll

7:21 pm

penquis

lol....

7:22 pm

penquis

your definition, hokie is similar to mine....guess the definition varies among members...

7:22 pm

joym999

I will bow to your superior definitional ability and refrain from describing BE7 as a babblet in the future. I'll just say it's "strange."

7:23 pm

grannyrose

at least one of my kids didn't ask me if i wore a bustle when i was a little girl, like i asked my mother.

7:23 pm

penquis

no offence, joy....i was just curious....

7:24 pm

joym999

Especially since penquis agrees with you, and her icon is a lobster, and I love lobster. How's that for logic?

7:24 pm

grannyrose

but isn't a babblet a little brook, babbling along?

7:24 pm

joym999

No, I'm actually serious. Your definition is better than mine.

7:24 pm

hokie carla

it's all good, joy.

7:24 pm

grannyrose

roflol, Joy. love it. perfect.

7:25 pm

grannyrose

and does my definition make us all wet behind the ears?

7:25 pm

penquis

dictionary.com has no definition of babblet...

7:25 pm

hokie carla

LOL

7:25 pm

penquis

well i am heading out....goodnight all....

7:25 pm

hokie carla

it was coined here so I wouldn't think so

7:26 pm
