8:26 am

hokie carla

I see what you did there.

8:28 am

rururocks

it behoofs her to be funny

8:29 am

hokie carla

rein it in there, ruru

8:30 am

rururocks

I'm harnessing all the pun action I can in this boring chat these days

8:30 am

welki

'morning, folks

8:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Sow your wild oats while you can, ru

8:31 am

rururocks

hi welks

8:31 am

welki

henri, the artist, is in the grid

8:31 am

hokie carla

she put the opportunity out there and you bit

8:31 am

rururocks

I'm into unbridled hilarity

8:32 am

hokie carla

you're saddled with the need to pun

8:32 am

welki

it's 'cause he's from filly

8:33 am

rururocks

<---guesses hokie's phantoms issei...

8:33 am

rururocks

that's true I'm on the edge of broncoitis

8:33 am

hokie carla

well, I already got the i before getting to the 3rd row so didn't really see that

8:34 am

hokie carla

sorry, read that as bron-coitus and didn't want to know

8:35 am

rururocks

(hokie has a filthy mind)

8:35 am

welki

neigh!

8:35 am

rururocks

that pun went right pasture hokie

8:35 am

hokie carla

(or I'm still half asleep)

8:50 am

MollyL

Thank you Ru. Anything to alleviate the endless boredom that is chat these days is greatly appreciated.

8:51 am

hokie carla

hmm, I don't feel like my part is greatly appreciated. no likes stats but me and hurshy and moo.

8:52 am

BzznBea

I don't understand the statements about boring chats.

8:52 am

hokie carla

finding this grid maybe the hardest in a week of hard grids

8:52 am

BzznBea

I agree with that, Carla.

8:52 am

hokie carla

are you not entertained??

8:53 am

rururocks

it's kind of rare to have discussions here anymore bea.. people are afraid of people being offended, or provoked into screaming fits...

8:53 am

BzznBea

I'm entertained. As much as the current restrictions allow.

8:53 am

hokie carla

can only find one A in the first one and 4 C, so nowhere near HOET. 67 left and have found 2 7s, zero 8's or 9's

8:53 am

hokie carla

(movie quote)

8:53 am

BzznBea

Yes, that A has me perplexed.

8:54 am

hokie carla

that

8:54 am

ChampFit

Some of the 8-9's are way out there.

8:54 am

hokie carla

that's a problem if Bea can't find A's

8:54 am

rururocks

the a in the corner is larger words 9's

8:54 am

ChampFit

I still need one from the top A...down to 11.

8:54 am

hokie carla

only aptish at this game

8:55 am

rururocks

ap8, 7, 9

8:55 am

MollyL

There used to be some great conversation in chat. And some funny ones too. Now it's almost entirely about words in the grid.

8:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, but I have seen you complain about people chatting not about words in the grid.

8:56 am

hokie carla

I'm guessing these ap's are words I've never heard of

8:56 am

rururocks

bet you have hokie

8:56 am

ChampFit

You have.

8:57 am

MollyL

What? The long personal conversations between two people? I am not the only one who has said something about those.

8:57 am

BzznBea

Correct, Carla. And that is why people are afraid to start a conversation.

8:57 am

BzznBea

Personal conversations? How personal can they be in a chat?

8:58 am

hokie carla

can I get a nudge on these ap words?

8:58 am

hokie carla

anytime I'm chatting with someone anyone else is welcome to join in

8:59 am

ChampFit

Start with short for multi-family dwelling and extend.

8:59 am

hokie carla

okay, am on the right track at least

8:59 am

rururocks

start with rental dwelling and add the loch monster

9:00 am

rururocks

I'll be on the Loch in a month

9:00 am

rururocks

:D

9:00 am

hokie carla

9:00 am

ChampFit

9:01 am

BzznBea

Bahaha

hokie carla

9:01 am

ChampFit

Yep.

rururocks

9:02 am

welki

oops - got my countries mixed up. i need stronger coffee

9:02 am

rururocks

soodle tends not to think too highly of me so I doubt I'd ever meet up

9:03 am

welki

feh. if the two of you met, you'd get along famously

9:03 am

hokie carla

9:04 am

hurshy

9:21 am

hurshy

woot, found an sc8

9:22 am

hurshy

and sm8!

9:22 am

mael

that's the only 8 I have hurshy

9:23 am

hurshy

9:23 am

mael

never mind, found an ap8 :)

9:23 am

hurshy

9:24 am

mael

9:24 am

mael

9:24 am

mael

I have sc8, looking for an sm8!

9:24 am

mael

oh duh, found the sm8

9:24 am

hurshy

oh I'm on P words right now, hope i will find the 8

9:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Most but not all of the 8s and 9s are extensions of smaller words you might already have. Start looking for the suffixes, you'll get them.

9:25 am

mael

no 9s yet though

9:26 am

hurshy

ap7 and 9 were being discussed earlier

9:26 am

mael

thanks for the tip!

9:26 am

mael

I hadn't scrolled back yet, let me go take a look

9:30 am

hurshy

aHA found a pa8

9:30 am

hokie carla

just peeked back and found pa7/9

9:30 am

hokie carla

but not the 8

9:30 am

hurshy

hmmmm must look

9:31 am

hurshy

pa8 is pl of a 6 that you wouldn't necessarily think you could pluralize

9:31 am

hokie carla

or you could just not and do nothing

9:31 am

hurshy

are you ok hokie?

9:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Also: Look for plurals of words that would end in Y, were they in the grid.

9:32 am

SamanthaJoy

I think hokie was giving a clue for the ap8

9:32 am

hokie carla

you know, you could stand pat

9:32 am

hokie carla

no, the pa7/9

9:32 am

mael

found a wh8

9:32 am

SamanthaJoy

. . . or the pa 7/9. Maybe both! lol

9:33 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, you also clued the ap 8, intentionally or not!

9:33 am

hokie carla

9:33 am

hurshy

3:06 pm

nrkii

A C8 or T8 would be especially welcome

3:06 pm

nrkii

Or a W8

3:13 pm

saanichcat

ap 8/50 is sort of boring, a big yawn, so what. hint it is plural

Thanks!

3:23 pm

hokie carla

wh8 is similar - a plural

3:23 pm

hokie carla

no T8

3:24 pm

Soodle

Wow!! Imagine my surprise to see my name mentioned in this morning’s chat, even though I have avoided chatting for a long time now. To clarify. I called out a Babbler for making snarky comments, perhaps a year or so ago. Ru jumped to the defence of this person & a bit of ‘Argy-bargy’ ensued, whilst the snark remained silent. I took the executive decision to withdraw from the chat-log as I felt there was an element of toxicity to it, and frankly, I did not need this nastiness or bitchiness in my life. Since then, I have played mostly without chatting, I have no issues whatsoever with RuRu, contrary to what he thinks, and if he ever found himself in this part of the world, I’d genuinely love to meet him.
As long as the bitchiness & snarkiness remains in the chat, I will stay in lurk mode.

4:00 pm

gemini_J13

I agree Soodle ~ it gets snarky in the chat at times ~ I don't know why??? You can't get a feel for what someone means without facial expressions ~

4:03 pm

Soodle

Thank you Gem.

Hi all... my lunchtime babble sesh

4:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

why is there bitchiness in the chat? Why is it everywhere on line, like fruit flies? It's why negative Neil left, and some others, I think. I also have issues with the racist slurs that are allowed in this dictionary, especially when some people don't know they are slurs. At the end of the day, it's only a word game.

There is one important fact to remember: Enable is not a dictionary. It is a WORD LIST assembled by some weird eccentric.

Dictionaries are really expensive to keep up to date; hence these strange and sometimes offensive word lists.

Enable are one thing. The deliberate snarky comments by one player against another is a different matter. I was uncomfortable with some comments being made. . I voiced my concerns & I was cancelled.

5:23 pm

saanichcat

yes we were talking about different things, apologies.

there hasn't be any snarky comments that merit anything for years and years. I think it's time for people to move on and have a life.

7:03 pm

rururocks

hi pam.. I just am amazed that people carry grudges here for years and years and years.

7:04 pm

rururocks

It's bad for your being to be so negative I think

pam

Agreed. Grudges are not my gig.

rururocks

I lurk all of the time and don't chat as much as I used to so I don't see it, perhaps. And I stopped chatting for various reasons, but none to do with the people in the chat. This evening, I saw your comment and felt inspired. Also, I am sitting here, relaxing in a coolish breeze--perfect babble chat weather! :)

7:10 pm

rururocks

people can lurk all they want. .that's fine. It is totally up to them to participate in the chat or not. Often I don't either nowadays.

7:11 pm

rururocks

but to continue to rag on about old shit, just is boring, unproductive, and frankly close-minded.

I am not interested in non-value social media chats. If I want to "dish," I do that in person, with people I know. :) And even them, it
