Ka&Ba

CONTROVERSY, n.
A battle in which spittle or ink replaces the injurious cannon-ball and the inconsiderate bayonet.
In controversy with the facile tongue --
That bloodless warfare of the old and young --
So seek your adversary to engage
That on himself he shall exhaust his rage,
And, like a snake that's fastened to the ground,
With his own fangs inflict the fatal wound.
You ask me how this miracle is done?
Adopt his own opinions, one by one,
And taunt him to refute them; in his wrath
He'll sweep them pitilessly from his path.
Advance then gently all you wish to prove,
Each proposition prefaced with, "As you've
So well remarked," or, "As you wisely say,
And I cannot dispute," or, "By the way,
This view of it which, better far expressed,
Runs through your argument." Then leave the rest
To him, secure that he'll perform his trust
And prove your views intelligent and just.
Conmore Apel Brune

2:56 am

FMitch

Hey Fran!!!

2:56 am

Haz1558

It's blustery here as well, but no rain at the minute. The grid is going to be interesting. But I'm happy to have found the yw4. It's the rest that are going to be the problem!

2:56 am

Haz1558

Hello FranMag!

2:57 am

FMitch

Haz - have you spotted the wonderful babblet that hasn't been in the grid for months?

2:57 am

Haz1558

Another one apart from yw?

2:58 am

FMitch

No just that one, my message was slow.

2:58 am

Haz1558

I'm sure there'll be more turn up - this looks like a grid ripe with possibilities for weird words!

2:58 am

Atalante

my favourite word! WOOT!

2:59 am

FMitch

There are others such as the goose and the needlecase.
Morning Ata

2:59 am

rolin

3:05 am

rolin

3:06 am

kierlex

3:06 am

Atalante

3:07 am

Haz1558

I know, Fran, so useful when having a senior moment.

3:08 am

FranMag

3:08 am

FranMag

3:08 am

kierlex

3:30 am

FranMag

ooh, a themed grid...now where are the fish to be caught?

3:30 am

FMitch

Parisian fishing net...? Digs out thinking cap.

3:30 am

bundy

i thought this one had a good larceny theme going -- oh, maybe fish stealers

3:31 am

Haz1558

The jewellery shop has a look in as well. en6/30, si6/24, ri4/6

3:31 am

bundy

3:36 am

bundy

3:39 am

FranMag

ga6/33 is a great word too.

3:39 am

Haz1558

fa5/22 - another name given to potato bread. The same structure as what someone wears to prove identification or to show allegiance to something

3:40 am

Haz1558

And it can be plural (fa6/36)

3:40 am

FranMag

thanks haz! cool word.

Another 15mins and then I must go, haven't even read email yet today.

FranMag

3:52 am

Haz1558

I didn't want to give too much away - maybe the clue should be padded out more but I thought a nudge was all that was needed.

3:54 am

FMitch

Would much rather have a clue that makes me think than be handed the word on a plate.

3:54 am

bundy

it was good enough for me haz - maybe ya should make it harder :D

3:55 am

FranMag

haz, i love your clues! they make me think.

3:56 am

Haz1558

7:30 am

Dorens

all right, but if you feel a bit worse afterwards, don't be surprised... and it will pass... i've been in a similar situation and it didn't work that well for me, but then it ended up okay...just took a little more tiime

7:30 am

pam

You know, Scrabbler, I believe it will be. I want to see him, and know that it will be weird

7:30 am

pam

But, at least her new gal won't be there

Thanksgiving...days of woe for many. You won't be alone Pam.

evanonut

i hope she does write...you'll be able to tell she's my buddy right away....almost as charming as me.

9:00 am

Katydid0615

i hope she does too. The more information you get before the program, the better it is when you start it. It's not an easy fix and it irritates me when people say I took the easy way out.

9:00 am

evanonut

i'd smack them up side the head if they said that to me.

9:01 am

evanonut

people are ignorant, some will walk right up to hubbynut and say "what happened to your face" GRRRRR

9:01 am

shorty

Hey smiley HAPPY THANKSGIVING

9:01 am

Katydid0615

they don't say it to my face, but i've heard it said behind my back lots of times. then they watch every bite I eat and if I eat something they don't think I should they gossip about that too. I just ignore those people. My true friends don't do that, but it sure showed me who was a true friend and who wasn't.

9:02 am

wi6/30 please

10:34 am

aknitter

10:34 am

FMitch

I have cooked goose for Christmas to great success. Although v expensive it far out tastes turkey.

10:34 am

M3

we have a Boxing day. then all the various meat's come out !!

10:34 am

Haz1558

Turkey is increasingly being used here at other times of the year. I can buy it year round from my butcher.

10:35 am

Vicuna

Well, aknitter, you don't HAVE to eat it just because it's traditional!

10:35 am

Haz1558

wi6/30 - a duck that resembles another homing bird in construction

10:35 am

Atalante

blech. turkey is horrid

10:35 am

Haz1558

Sorry - that's wi6/33. wi6/30 - wi plus the ending of the man in the lamp in Aladdin.

10:35 am

10:38 am

abe79

Hi Vicuna and FMitch

10:38 am

periwinkle

Haz, have the wi6/36 but having trouble with the wi6/30, is there a double consonant in the middle

10:38 am

Atalante

lol I love the thing about Bush pardoning a turkey each year and giving them to Disneyland

10:39 am

periwinkle

I guess not, then it would be 7 letters

10:39 am

Haz1558

No - peri - clued below - wi plus the last letters (4) of the ge5/14 (man in the lamp)

10:39 am

Scrabbler

ag6,24?

10:39 am

Vicuna

Though "pardon" implies they'd committed some crime.

10:39 am

aknitter

i would want to be the pardoned turkey, live my life in a petting zoo

10:39 am

FMitch

Peri sounds a bit like a small sausage butbe random with the letters

10:40 am

periwinkle

I have typed that several times Haz and it is not accepted

10:41 am

periwinkle

Nm got it thanks Haz, I kept trying to stick a G in the middle

10:41 am

Haz1558

The first four letters are an anagram of wi4/8 (the drink). The word finishes with two vowels.

10:41 am

Atalante

I know! monster psycho murderer turkeys!

10:41 am

aknitter

da 6 please

10:41 am

Haz1558

Oh, you've got it - good!

10:41 am

ursh

he6/21 and he7/32 are totally hiding from me please help

10:41 am

periwinkle

thanks FMitch, your clue helped a lot

10:42 am

Haz1558

da6 - variant plural spelling of the derogatory term for foreigners.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

I ma looking for da6 to, to finish the D

10:42 am

aknitter

ty haz

10:42 am

Vicuna

Actually, I was threatened by a turkey thug once. It was guarding the door of my car so menacingly that I had to jump in on the drivers side and climb across.

10:42 am

Haz1558

ursh - the he6/21 is structured the same way as the wi6/30 that we have been sorting out for Peri.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

TY Haz

10:43 am

aknitter

i hope you taught that turkey a lesson vicuna and stuffed it LOL

10:43 am

Scrabbler

heinie

10:43 am

Atalante

I also like the fact there is an alternate turkey who is also pardoned. is that in case the first turkey doesnt want pardoning???!!!

10:43 am

Scrabbler

OH, dear, that is rather embarrassing. LOL

10:43 am

Vicuna

No, I just drove away in fear! :)

10:43 am

Haz1558

And plural for the 7 Scrabbler!

10:43 am

ursh

nm haz scrabbler just clued it perfectly ty

10:44 am

Vicuna

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Your welcome. **blushing**

10:44 am

aknitter

10:44 am

Atalante

maybe the main turkey could be stage fright or something. or bites bush

10:44 am

msilver620

haz, another clue for da 6, please?

10:45 am

Scrabbler

da +go4,6

10:45 am

10:46 am

abe79

bye Jean!

10:46 am

Scrabbler

or his he6

10:46 am

aknitter

doubt the turkey would be pardoned for that one

10:46 am

Vicuna

But they probably sedate it or something first. I imagine the farm-raised ones aren't nearly so aggressive as the wild ones.

10:46 am

Haz1558

da6 - da plus the third person singular, present tense of 'to leave' (if you have the da4 you should be able to work it out)

10:46 am

Vicuna

10:46 am

periwinkle

10:47 am

Atalante

10:47 am

periwinkle

10:47 am

Vicuna

wh6/39 - to complain, sounds like what allows a door to swing

10:47 am

Haz1558

wh6/39 - a wonderful verb! To moan or complain

10:47 am

aknitter

ata just put it in the oven @ 350 degrees

10:47 am

ursh

le6/24?? please

10:48 am

Vicuna

lol aknitter!

10:48 am

Haz1558

wh6/39 - adjective to describe people's brains after they have been babbling for a while

10:48 am

periwinkle

I have that as wh6/33

10:48 am

Vicuna

le6/24 - what Bush displays toward the turkey. More commonly seen in adj form ending in -ient and meaning mild or merciful

10:49 am

Haz1558

le6/24 can either be a Roman army contingent, or as Vicuna has clued

10:49 am

periwinkle

first wh7 please

10:50 am

Haz1558

Is the plural of wh6/39

10:50 am

9:09 pm

Jacula

stid - thanks for the hug. I know you gave it me for my lost twin. (Who I did not know about until I was about 40. At least it explained me having spent my whole life 'talking to myself', except that I knew I was NOT talking to myself.) Anway, 23rd Nov. is the 3rd anniversary of my Dad dying. Mum and I have not been too sad though; we lost him about 8 years ago in reality. (Alzheimer's, as you know.)

We both think about Dad every day, not always in a sad way. 'Sad' hits us when we least expect it... a song, a smell, a sight, a memory or some silly little thing.

Jacula, grief is like that, isn't it? Still if it was like so many, by the time his body left you had been grieving for a long time.

9:11 pm

Biltong

It's hard Jacula. My dad passed away 17 years ago and sometimes I really miss him

And then someone just goes and does a whole e-mailing to everyone on their address list, not only giving out ther whole list but your address as well. Sometimes, I just want to beat my head against a nearby wall!

10:33 pm

helenkeller

MikeyP

10:36 pm

When I send someone my private e-mail address, I do not expect it to be revealed in a general e-mail reply to others.

Sometimes we can all have a hard time on here! I had a night of hell with Tuva (or whatever his name was) over our 13-yr-old member. He seemed to be giving her a hard time. And then, one time, I was totally in despair over my Dad and the loss, and Sprite said, or told me, that I was not the only one having a hard time. Well, I knew that. But did I reinvent myself on here? Did I heck! I love being me and I will continue to be me.

11:31 pm

stidmama

11:31 pm

stidmama

sorry Jill -- should have been "blogspot" instead of blogger. *sigh*

11:32 pm

greengeeny

I take peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar...cream it together, add a little vanilla, and then dip them partially in chocolate...sometimes I add sprinkles of walnuts on top

11:32 pm

stidmama

oh that sounds nice!

11:33 pm

greengeeny

I live in Ohio, and buckeye is our state nut? or something like that...anyway, the kids love them and the hubby and boys are fans of Ohio State

11:33 pm

greengeeny

The actual buckeye is not too good for eating

11:34 pm

stidmama

funny how that is, maybe the wood is good for something?

11:34 pm

MikeyP

wh8?

11:35 pm

stidmama

wh 8 is the gerund form of the wh 4/9 before it.

11:35 pm

greengeeny

Hey stid...how come you have a blue shirt on your person next to your flag, and I have a pink??

11:35 pm

greengeeny

Buckeye...the worthless nut, that is what we all say around here...I am not sure if the wood is any good

11:36 pm

stidmama

mine is actually gray, but looks different on different monitors. I didn't like "Pepto Pink" so I didn't specify gender.

11:36 pm

jillibus

Got there, stid -- so that's your Tom? And Matt was released for the occasion? I recognise your Mom, you, and I guess Grant's head (rear view?)

11:36 pm

stidmama

very good, Jill! yep. My Tom is a hunk-a-licious cook, isn't he?

11:36 pm

greengeeny

OOh...gotcha...I am not a pink fan either...

11:37 pm

jillibus

wh8 -- sharpening

11:37 pm

stidmama

Actually, I like pink, just not this particular one!

11:37 pm

stidmama

11:37 pm

jillibus

ooooh yess -- did he do the dinner, stid?

11:37 pm

greengeeny

Oh well, the night is getting very late at my end of the world...i am going to retire...good night all!!

11:37 pm

stidmama

did you get it, Mikey?

11:38 pm

jillibus

no- didn't see the Artist TRading Card thing

11:38 pm

stidmama

no, just the pumpkin pie -- best crust he's ever made, and he did it wheat-free so I could eat as much as I liked!

11:38 pm

jillibus

Nighty night, greengeeny!

11:39 pm

stidmama

good night greeny, thanks for the conversation, and enjoy leftovers tomorrow! (and the day after and the day after and...)

11:39 pm

jillibus

Wow! a pie-maker guy! And wheat-free! Keep him.

11:39 pm

stidmama

Artist Trading Cards are little pieces of art that people trade back and forth just for fun. I put a little blurb about them at BabAnon under "Other Interests".

11:40 pm

stidmama

And I plan on keeping him, Jill! After all, he puts up with my babbling (both types) and supports my book and paper obsessions!

11:40 pm

jillibus

I'll have alook, but later.
