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

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
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.

8:55 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

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!

9:30 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
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
true, but I know she's finished with the a

The first five letters of the hard ones are all the same as a woman's loose fitting undergarment, worn on the upper body. Extend from there. Good luck!

A C8 or T8 would be especially welcome
3:13 pm

ap 8/50 is sort of boring, a big yawn, so what. hint it is plural
3:23 pm
hokie carla
wh8 is similar - a plural
3:23 pm
hokie carla
no T8
3:24 pm
hokie carla
ca8/9 is a weird one. like tank tops you wear under tops + much * about nothing.

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.
5:11 pm
Shellbell_o-well
well, rain stopped, sun's breaking thru, back to work... laters
5:14 pm
Soodle
Hey Kap. I think we are talking abot two different things. The many rascist slurs allowed by Enablee
5:20 pm
saanichcat
There is one important fact to remember: Enable is not a dictionary. It is a WORD LIST assembled by some weird eccentric.
5:21 pm
saanichcat
Dictionaries are really expensive to keep up to date; hence these strange and sometimes offensive word lists.
5:21 pm
Soodle
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.
5:54 pm
rururocks
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.

I pretty much hoped everyone had, ru. And hi. And hi, all.
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
7:04 pm
pam
Agreed. Grudges are not my gig.
7:04 pm
rururocks
mine neither
7:06 pm
rururocks
sure seems to be with a certain segment of this game though.
7:08 pm
pam
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.
7:14 pm
pam
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
