6:18 am

aslindy

hello all

6:20 am

dauber

mornin', aslindy

6:20 am

dauber

(I've noticed that in the last year or so most of my contributions to the chat have been "Can I have a clue for this answer I'm too ignorant to figure out?", so I'm trying to be more sociable. :) )

6:21 am

aslindy

I know that feeling, dauber

6:21 am

dauber

I mean, I don't care if anybody else does it; it's just that I feel guilty doing it!

6:22 am

aslindy

I had a hard time 'breaking in' to chat... people obviously already knew each other, and I had no idea what they were talking about.

6:24 am

HarryHood

ooh found a 9!

6:24 am

aslindy

don't feel too bad about asking for clues, either. it's a really rare day when I don't need MoreWords to figure out some words

6:24 am

HarryHood

remembered it from 9th grade biology :)

6:28 am

HarryHood

gotta run to work. still no 8s though. bye!

8:43 am

mkg

Ty for de 8. Weird word. I never saw it before.

8:43 am

rururocks

it's the boat they put all the retired teachers on

8:44 am

Scrabbler

So many teachers are leaving the profession early.

8:46 am

rururocks

yeah.. because Congress doesn't put enough money towards education, they'd rather piss it away on a ridiculous military and Nasa budget

8:46 am

aebmusica

ty all

8:47 am

BzznBea

and themselves. ridiculous what they make and the perks they get.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Dealing with so many feral kids and their parents is difficult. I talk to teacher-moms in my office.

8:50 am

BzznBea

interesting the use of "feral" to describe them. but they are. no guidance, no supervision

8:51 am

rururocks

that must be one of the most difficult parts of your job scrab

8:51 am

rururocks

I grew up sort of feral, but turned out ok

8:51 am

rururocks

although i did end up with this sick sense of humor

8:52 am

Scrabbler

We see feral kids in our office everyday. They are uncivilized and unsocialized. Under 3 is expected, after 3 is not.

8:55 am

EvaNadine

i grew up quite civilized + have evolved to be slightly feral. ;)

8:55 am

BzznBea

that is why you turned out as you did, ru. a sense of humor is important

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

hello

9:35 am

penquis

hi TO...

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

as someone who's friend's daughter worked with hilary, i would day that was a nightmare...

9:36 am

penquis

my college friend once had a dream in which she was doing something with Queen Elizabeth....

9:37 am

hurshy

i was awakened by the sound of my two boy cats fighting because there was a stray cat outside. idk if it's an unneutered male or what the deal is but every time he comes around they are enraged, and as they can't get at him, they take it out on each other

9:37 am

Scrabbler

I was laughing as my mother told me her dream.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

god bless her.

9:39 am

Scrabbler

She will be 92 in a few weeks. Last week she struggled with remembering the Italian word for parsley that her Napolitano mother used.

9:40 am

Scrabbler

I did some research and petrusino was closest.

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

one grandmother spoke no italian and the other spoke only italian. not ideal for language learning,

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

good to hear her stories.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i have an uncle who just turned 90. they are vegetarians,i would think that helps

9:43 am

Scrabbler

My mother's parents never spoke English and I so so wish my mother had raised us bilingual.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

well, they wanted to be american and wanted us to be as well. did you read the book, "Were You lLways an Italian"?

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i recommend it.

9:46 am

Scrabbler

I will look for that book.

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

if you cannot find it, i have a copy.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

I found used copies on Amazon.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

my parents were very careful with teaching us language. they were very aware that we grew up without baby talk or slang words. every once in a while, the aunts would throw out a phrase in iltalian. when i would ask, they would not tell me. if i threatened to ask my grandfather, they would protet with giggles.

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

later in life, i found out why :D

9:50 am

Scrabbler

The word I most recall from childhood, when visiting the Italians, was stunad.

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

hokie carla

last column gray! still not HOET. I am also not doing well with this one. 57 left.

5:07 pm

hokie carla

no ad7 or 9, no weird ho words either.

5:12 pm

phaeton

ad9 starts like the ad7...change 5th letter to vowel then mathematic babblet.

5:12 pm

phaeton

ho6 uses sometimes vowel

5:13 pm

MollyL

The end of ad9 is a trig function, not really a word only seen in Babble.

5:15 pm

hokie carla

while I appreciate the effort, I still don't have ad7, so the clue means nothing to me. but it's not you, it's me. just can't see words today. and yes, I agree with molly, I don't consider that a babblet, but the inclusion of mathematic gave me the right idea.

5:15 pm
