Today is the day to honor your ancestors. Take a moment to thank those who came before you.

Hello all

6:52 am

Deeha

looking back we found a copy marriage certificate dated 16 something and it said X his mark X her mark. We've come a long way since then

7:02 am

MollyL

Wow, that is amazing that you found records from that far back

7:03 am

Deeha

peasants all the way!!

7:11 am

Deeha

only difference is we can write our names now!!

7:44 am

MollyL

You carry on the legacy!

8:25 am

rastapopolous

ha - I tried the rice just for fun, but it took it

8:26 am

ChampFit

same! there are 2 ba7's btw. just found the 2nd one

8:44 am

phaeton

does it build off the ba5?

8:44 am

ChampFit

Yes...the 5/14

8:45 am

phaeton

ty

8:45 am

NANCY

DOES the second one build of the 5 as well?

8:45 am

NANCY

off

8:46 am

ChampFit

The second one is the rice

8:46 am

phaeton

no...the 2nd one is the rice

8:47 am

NANCY

THANKS GOT IT

8:49 am

phaeton

Nancy...turn you caps off

8:49 am

mkg

why does it upset people when caps are on? what difference does it make? tothink this means shouting is absurd.

8:50 am

phaeton

maybe to you, but that's what I think of when they use their caps

8:50 am

NANCY

I use caps because of poor vision.

8:50 am

ChampFit

It feels that way though. I have a friend who doesn't see well and always types in all caps. Annoying, but he's not changing!

8:51 am

NANCY

guess there are other things more important to worry about.

8:51 am

NANCY

agree with mkg. why should that be upsetting to anyone

8:53 am

phaeton

clue for the al6?

8:53 am

phaeton

either one

8:55 am

MollyL

Reasons why they couldn't have committed the crime

Enlarge the screen if you can't see the small print.

9:08 am

hokie carla

if it was another situation all caps might bother me but nancy has explained before she does it to see better, so sometimes I answer her in all caps

9:09 am

hokie carla

HOWDY FOLKS

9:09 am

hokie carla

that time I was yelling ;)

9:09 am

ChampFit

madwoman! good morning!

9:09 am

hokie carla

CHAMP!

9:09 am

ChampFit

CARLA!

9:10 am

hokie carla

have you been working on this for hours?

9:11 am

ChampFit

I was on for about half an hour earlier, then just back on for about an hour.

9:11 am

NANCY

thank you carla. i try to switch over but sometimes the caps stay on. didnt think this was going to turn into a major discussion. if that was the only thing to worry about wouldnt the world as we kknow it be blessed.

9:11 am

hokie carla

just wondering if you get up at unnatural hours on Sat, too. I assume you do a lot of realtor work on Saturdays too.

9:12 am

ChampFit

I do get up early on Saturdays. The only day I don't set an alarm is Sunday.

9:13 am

hokie carla

when I play on my ipad at night in bed I can't read anything and it's a pain to make the screen bigger and go back and forth between the chat and the grid.

9:13 am

hokie carla

anybody found any PR before words?

9:14 am

mkg

pr 6 and 7

9:14 am

9:16 am

hokie carla

my clue took too long to type out

9:19 am

hokie carla

well the B is a big bust. only found 6.

9:20 am

ChampFit

The L is a bust for me. Got bored and moved on.

9:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm on it right now. only 8.

9:21 am

hokie carla

For poor vision, enlarging the screen really is the best way to go.

9:27 am

ChampFit

Another phantom: military

9:27 am

rururocks

enlarging most things is the best way to go

9:28 am

hokie carla

oh no you di'ent

9:28 am

MollyL

How did I know that was "coming"

9:28 am

ChampFit

Size matters

9:31 am

hokie carla

well I got the greek architecture babblet today so I guess I've won

9:32 am

ChampFit

Take the win!

9:33 am

hokie carla

ending first pass on the O and see none of them!

9:33 am

hokie carla

PSA - oatier is not a word

9:33 am

hokie carla

oh, found one!

9:33 am

ChampFit

Yet I try it every time.

9:36 am

rururocks

oatier works when you have grandkids then you can become granola

9:36 am

hokie carla

ok, not your best work

9:37 am

MollyL

Let's play who gave out the most candy. Not me, not one kid. Sad.

9:37 am

MollyL

I understand Wicked costumes were popular this year.

9:37 am

hokie carla

well I live in an old folks neighborhood so we haven't had any for 3 years.

9:38 am

hokie carla

okay, found 3 O's so now just need 1 B for HOET

9:38 am

ChampFit

No idea how many, but my candy was gone except for ONE piece. How polite was that last kid, to leave it for someone else?

9:39 am

MollyL

Do you just leave it out in a bowl?

9:39 am

ChampFit

I did. But I could see kids coming up. So I know no one took it all at once.

9:41 am

MollyL

Ah for the good old days when homemade treats were safe to take and eat. Popcorn balls and doughnuts.

9:41 am

hokie carla

I did the bowl at disney campground last year for three nights. We weren't even there on Halloween night. Every night the bowl was empty but most kids were with parents in golf carts and they told them to just take one.

9:41 am

hokie carla

I'm of the age that I don't remember ever having homemade treats.

9:42 am

hokie carla

And I lived in a neighborhood where we knew everyone.

9:42 am

MollyL

1982 Tylenlo Halloween scare ruined Halloween for good.

9:42 am

MollyL

Tylenol

9:43 am

penquis

my mother would always ask us who gave us the popcorn ball before she let us eat it....hello all....

9:43 am

ChampFit

I live on a short cul-de-sac street of 11 houses. Not all kids bother to with it when there are longer stretches of homes.

9:43 am

hokie carla

I recently watched a doc about that. don't rem. it being around halloween. I think the razor blade in the apple urban legend ruined it too.

9:43 am

hokie carla

also there was some dad that poisoned his kid's giant pixy stick to blame it on random

9:44 am

hokie carla

PEN!

9:44 am

penquis

carla!

9:44 am

hokie carla

finished the O. wasn't that tricky after all.

9:44 am

ChampFit

Yes...just took a while to see them.

9:45 am

MollyL

Trunk or Treats are pretty fun. Lots of people go all out decorating their cars.

9:46 am

hokie carla

you should see the campers at disney. some people bring like 100 inflatables.

9:46 am

MollyL

This was not the year for inflatables around here. Very windy the past few days.

9:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, here too a few days ago

9:47 am

hokie carla

HOET!

9:48 am

ChampFit

I need help with the 2nd row I...only found one there

9:48 am

hokie carla

I can't even believe that first W. completely made up all 3.

9:48 am

hokie carla

think poetry

9:49 am

hokie carla

I have 3 related to that. IA

9:49 am

ChampFit

ty!

9:49 am

hokie carla

no prob bob

9:51 am

hokie carla

ablism not a thing

9:52 am

hokie carla

nor smilier

9:53 am

MollyL

I agree about the first W. I call BS on those 3

9:54 am

MollyL

Ableism is

9:55 am

hokie carla

not according to enable. I tried that too.

9:55 am

MollyL

Just not in Enable

9:56 am

MollyL

Ah, remember playing Mad Li4? We got a lot of miles out of those tablets.

9:56 am

hokie carla

okay, according to m-w, one of the w's is hebrew, one is scottish, and the other doesn't exist

9:56 am

ChampFit

No surprise there

9:57 am

hokie carla

but that one is in the scrabble dictionary as an alt sp for what spiders build so I'm going to say it's scottish too,

9:58 am

MollyL

We should sue the Enable word list makers for being prejudicial to the Scot language. Stranger law suits have been successful.

9:58 am

hokie carla

be careful, there was someone here who thinks we're all anti-scot

9:59 am

MollyL

Oh dear God

9:59 am

MollyL

Are they a friend of Kaplan's?

9:59 am

hokie carla

I can't rem. who it was. but it wasn't atalante.

10:00 am

Good morning, Babblers. :)

My sister and I are sharing articles about those who came before us to honor the day. It's sad how many babies died in infancy back in the day of our grandparents.

11:14 am

My daughter and granddaughters are going to a small London Museum foundedby Fredk Horniman of the tea family. They are having a festival celebrating the Day of the Dead

12:10 pm

cybernan

I still think oatier should be a word

12:11 pm

Gillie

Use it in a sentence

12:11 pm

cybernan

my porridge is oatier than yours

12:11 pm

Gillie

Now try to imagine the situation where you actually say that

12:11 pm

cybernan

makes as much sense as many of these other "words" we have

12:12 pm

Gillie

Well, if that's the standard...

12:12 pm

cybernan

lol

12:18 pm

cybernan

think I'll check wordle out - not getting anywhere here

12:20 pm

cybernan

can't believe it took me 4 to get that today

12:24 pm

cybernan

ntpn - one of my favourite musicians in the grid today - orchestra leader known for his extravaganzas

12:26 pm

clg47

My friend recently visited relatives in the Netherlands. They watched a documentary on the great porridge competition in Scotland. I'm sure if you use that special porridge tool that the results would be that your porridge is oatier that someone who uses a plastic spoon.

12:26 pm

cybernan

you mean the sprittle?

12:27 pm

clg47

yes, we discussed how cherry or almond wood sprittles would be preferred

12:28 pm

cybernan

or is it spirtle? I thnk maybe it is called a spirtle

12:30 pm

clg47

spurtle

12:31 pm

cybernan

I guess nobody else here is a fan of Andre Rieu. I don't think I've ever heard anyone who could produce a sweeter sound from a violin. Makes me envious every time I hear him play.

12:37 pm

clg47

I took violin lessons when I was young. I have grandchildren that play violin, viola and cello. I am appreciative of anyone who plays any instrument well.

12:47 pm

cybernan

me too - played violin all through my teenage years.

12:49 pm

cybernan

* and it isn't like riding a bike! Took it out of it's case a few weeks ago and blah! Wondering now if it is worth refurbishing it or if I should just donate it to some organization.

12:50 pm

cybernan

what does your icon say, cig -- it comes up so large that it can't be read.

12:51 pm

clg47

it is random letters - no meaning

12:53 pm

clg47

it is what I feel like sometimes when I look at the grid.

12:53 pm

cybernan

clues for the ba 7's please?

12:54 pm

clg47

a type or rice and extend the herb - in the other order

12:56 pm

cybernan

got the rice

12:58 pm

cybernan

have the herb, but not understanding the clue other order of what?

1:00 pm

BzznBea

Add two letters to the end of the herb for ba7

1:00 pm

clg47

extend the herb - but it is not ier

1:02 pm

cybernan

monkeys found it - ty

1:50 pm

MollyL

I sent Lickety a heads up about Daylight Saving Time.

1:52 pm

hokie carla

well, I am surprised/not surprsied the rice is on enable

2:08 pm

cybernan

do we fall back tonight molly?

2:18 pm

hokie carla

we do, not sure about canada

2:18 pm

cybernan

just asked siri - tomorrow night

2:19 pm

cybernan

I don't know why it happens on a Sunday night - makes much more sense to do it on a Saturday giving everyone a day to adjust to the new time. I guess common sense just doesn't run in gov't circles!

2:20 pm

MollyL

The time for US and Canada is 2AM Sunday morning

2:20 pm

cybernan

oh - that is better - so we do set our clocks back tonight

2:33 pm

MollyL

I wonder why Siri would say tomorrow night

2:37 pm

cybernan

just said Nov, 2

2:40 pm

hokie carla

it is saturday night, but a.m. so technically that is sunday night even though it's while we sleep on saturday night

2:41 pm

hokie carla

and it turns nov 2 at midnight

2:45 pm

rururocks

siri has been drinking

2:46 pm

hokie carla

I think I clearly explained what is going on here. ;)

2:46 pm

cybernan

don't look at me -- haven't had my glass of wine yet today

2:58 pm

rururocks

siri is a lush.. been hanging out with alexa too much

2:59 pm

cybernan

Done - last one was a normal word, but boy some of those others! This was a grid designed to make me feel less than bright or knowledgeable -- didn't know a huge chunk of the words and would never have finished without lickety and clues in the chat.

3:02 pm

mery9419

I once asked Alexa if she and Siri were friends, and she replied that they had never met but had a "professional" relationship...

3:03 pm

penquis

hah!...

3:03 pm

penquis

i have an echo but i renamed it to Ziggy with a man's voice...he sounds a lot more pleasant...and he can sing a little..."The NoBody Blues"...

3:11 pm

MollyL

My echo is Ziggy with a man's voice too. Much better than Alexa.

3:11 pm

penquis

agreed...

3:11 pm

penquis

and since my great niece is Alyssa, there is less chance that the echo will think I am talking to it when I am saying something about Alyssa...

3:25 pm

hokie carla

I have a niece Alexis which occasionally triggers mine. I know I can change it but never have. I did tell my brother he should change his when he was complaining about it.

3:25 pm

penquis

Ziggy has a very nice voice...

3:32 pm

MollyL

I like the male voices a lot more than the female

3:32 pm

penquis

me, too....i find them easier to comprehend...

3:33 pm

rururocks

yeah.. they're more rational

3:33 pm

rururocks

:D

3:36 pm

penquis

right....not....

3:37 pm

origami

You're just begging for a bashing, ru

3:38 pm

MollyL

All the female voices for Alexa sound snotty

3:38 pm

penquis

yes...

3:39 pm

hokie carla

I use male voice for siri. I think I have male british. if they had a scottish I would totally do that.

3:40 pm

origami

I use male Irish for siri

3:43 pm

rururocks

I have black siri

3:43 pm

rururocks

"take a left turn here sugar"

3:45 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

3:53 pm

BzznBea

I need a sassy mouth siri. Hey, bitch, I told you to turn a mile ago.

3:54 pm

origami

Ha!

3:54 pm

penquis

lol...

3:54 pm

rururocks

or just have ori ride in the car with you.

3:54 pm

rururocks

No one drives as perfectly as she does

3:56 pm

origami

LOL ...

3:59 pm

penquis

well i am done...heading out....bye all....

4:01 pm

rururocks

bye pen

4:04 pm

See ya pen

4:56 pm

BzznBea

What's up with these L's?

4:58 pm

origami

There are some odd ones in there

5:01 pm

BzznBea

Enable never knew about prelit trees

5:07 pm

origami

I do try that every time I see it in the grid. Don't know why I expect it to suddenly work.

5:07 pm

MollyL

Magical thinking

5:50 pm

ChampFit

Super annoyed about prelit, esp when the other pre word was accepted. In other news, just changed the one battery clock that has a second hand, just to be sure it's done in the morning.

6:21 pm

MollyL

The other pre word has been around since the late 19th century. Not so for prelit.

6:27 pm

mkg

the pr word i have is really a shortened form of a longer word. like we use info for information.

6:27 pm

mkg

that is the 6/7 combo i have.

6:32 pm

MollyL

Yes, we were discussing why one is accepted and the other is not. Not asking for clues.

6:39 pm

periwinkle

hi all help with either 8 please I know is ro8

6:39 pm

periwinkle

the other is a tr8

6:50 pm

MollyL

tr + lubricant + suffix that means a practice or religion

6:53 pm

BzznBea

The ro8 is the Brit family with the same ending as the tr

6:56 pm

periwinkle

thank you both

6:58 pm

periwinkle

76 words left and just saw my name

9:56 pm

hurshy

10:00 pm

hurshy

i was listening to a podcast today that talked about the people in Alaska who were affected by that recent typhoon

10:00 pm

hurshy

and this person who was involved in helping to shelter evacuees and stuff

10:01 pm

hurshy

said they just kept looking at pictures and watching vids of what happened over and over, like they were trying to somehow get it through their heads that this really happened, because it was so surreal

10:04 pm

hurshy

idk what it was about the grid that just reminded me of it

10:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the weird way our memories / thoughts work

10:06 pm
