morning, y'all! I'm back from making ice cream on the mountain in New York. :)

12:41 am

hokie carla

I don't know what that means exactly but sounds delish

12:41 am

sprite

welcome back, seain!

12:42 am

dcseain

a group of us gather annually, last in 2019 for obvious reasons, on a mountaintop in New York for a weekend of social, games, dances, and ice cream. I work in the kitchen to make meals for the group.

12:43 am

dcseain

wp.baitcon.org to learn more. Site does not work in Chrome.

12:43 am

sprite

awesome tradition

12:43 am

hokie carla

sounds fun

12:44 am

dcseain

It very much is, and I _know_ that any of y'all would fit in and have a great time. It is a camping event, if with flush toilets and showers in the main area, if outhouses in areas we sleep in.

12:44 am

dcseain

and hello, sprite, carla, et al :)

12:44 am

dcseain

in 8 hours, I need to be at a hotel a few blocks away to play bridge with one of my partners. Who needs sleep.

12:45 am

sprite

sleep is overrated. When you are young and stupid. After that, it becomes such a dear, though sometimes elusive friend

12:45 am

dcseain

This weekend, I got to introduce and Afrikaner to a Nederlander.

12:46 am

dcseain

I'm old enough to be in that grouping, sprite :)

12:46 am

sprite

that should go pretty smoothly. We kinda sorta speak the same language

12:46 am

sprite

me too, seain!

12:47 am

dcseain

my friend Mieke was shocked that I am two years younger than her. LOL

12:48 am

sprite

hehehe

12:49 am

dcseain

her birthday was yesterday

12:49 am

sprite

Mieke sounds very dutch (as a name I mean)

12:49 am

dcseain

phantom eight

12:52 am

dcseain

I got a ton of exercise over the weekend, and my blood pressure plummeted. That is good.

12:52 am

sprite

good company, exercise, good food and lots of laughter, best cure for high BP

12:53 am

dcseain

Mieke Citroen fully. She's originally from The Hague.

12:53 am

dcseain

<3 well said, sprite.

12:54 am

sprite

citroen in dutch is lemon in english. Great name.

12:54 am

dcseain

:)

12:56 am

hokie carla

well, I'm going to try to sleep. 24 left for tomorrow. good night.get some sleep for your BP, seain. :D

12:56 am

12:58 am

dcseain

g'night carla

1:03 am

sprite

found the 8, what an oddball

1:05 am

dcseain

thank for the oddball comment :)

1:05 am

sprite

:D

1:05 am

dcseain

relates to the th herb, which makes it make sense.

1:06 am

sprite

not to me. I would go for something like 'most ......-like'. But then again, being dutch, my knowledge of english is bo4 limited and probably old-school

1:07 am

dcseain

that same suffix means similar to in English, and the suffix is more like grootest

1:08 am

sprite

lol! That would be grootste, I think?

1:09 am

dcseain

oh, yes, you are right, I'm still learning.

1:09 am

sprite

no problem, I am impressed anyway. Dutch is a really tough language to learn.

1:10 am

dcseain

what makes it a bit confusing from English il the many similarities, except where it's false, like with deer/dier

1:10 am

dcseain

related, but not the same.

1:11 am

sprite

I know, right! Same confusion the other way. Deer and dier. Or beer, bier and bear.

1:11 am

dcseain

exactly!

1:12 am

dcseain

and I've still not figured out rules for je/jij and similar.

1:14 am

dcseain

the card game on which Bridge is based is in the grid today.

1:14 am

sprite

yeah, that is confusion. Jij is always second person singular, subject. But je can be lots of things.

1:14 am

sprite

confusing*

1:16 am

dcseain

for u/je I've decided to apply the same rules I use for tü/usted in Spanish, until I learn otherwise.

1:16 am

sprite

Je can be an alternative for jij, it can be subject, object and other things

1:17 am

dcseain

that much, I have figured out, but thank you for that explicit clarification.

1:17 am

dcseain

it was nice to have some opportunity to practice speaking with a native speaker some over the weekend, though.

1:18 am

sprite

U is formal, je is informal. We use U when we don't know a person, or we do and we want to show respect or want to keep our distance. Jij/je is for friends, people the same age or younger, people we like

1:18 am

sprite

oh yes, nothing beats speaking the language with a native for learning it.

1:18 am

dcseain

thanks, that means same as the usage I know from Spanish then. :)

1:19 am

sprite

yes, I believe it is similar

1:19 am

grannyrose

g'day seain and sprite. * hugs * all round

1:19 am

dcseain

g'day rose :)

1:19 am

sprite

*hugs rose right back* Hiya hun!

1:20 am

grannyrose

we have had a bright shiny thing in the sky today. can't remember what it's called..

1:21 am

dcseain

one thing that surprised me this weekend: one attendee came from Anchorage, Alaska and one came from Bern, Switzerland.

1:21 am

dcseain

yay sunshine!

1:22 am

sprite

shiny! Where! *magpie eyes*

1:22 am

sprite

long distance friends, how lovely

1:23 am

grannyrose

lol... and the swimming gear came in dry, ready for Thursday.

1:23 am

sprite

tsk. Waste of energy. Will get wet right away anyway

1:24 am

dcseain

I'm attending a party on Thursday.

1:24 am

grannyrose

yeah, we know all about long distance friends, don't we sprite? still waiting for Scottie and his be4.

1:25 am

sprite

absolutely. Still, I feel so blessed we got to meet in person twice, and spend time together.

1:25 am

grannyrose

you socialite, you, seain. i want pictures and a full account please.

1:25 am

dcseain

check back in the chat, it all be there. Short: making ice cream on a mountaintop in New York.

1:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, easier to put on dry for me. not the sylph-like critter i once was.

1:26 am

sprite

sure you are. On the inside :)

1:27 am

grannyrose

of course you are seain. what else would you do on a mountain top.. rofl

1:28 am

dcseain

contradance, English country dance, blow bubbles, play board games, make coffee, cook Moroccan beef stew, and more!

1:28 am

dcseain

get a little sappy at times.

1:28 am

sprite

omg I really wish I'd been there. Love it all.

1:28 am

dcseain

this was a joyous gathering after 5 years.

1:29 am

sprite

sappy is good. Has an undeserved bad reputation.

1:29 am

grannyrose

omg, seain, sounds amazing.

1:29 am

dcseain

Had a lovely debate about talmud yesterday.

1:30 am

dcseain

sadly, it rained and was cloudy on Saturday, so we couldn't Sing Down the Sun.

1:30 am

grannyrose

and did you learn anything seain?

1:31 am

dcseain

I learned how to make Moroccan beef stew, and that the head chef uses less than half as much cheese in the cheese sauce as I do.

1:31 am

grannyrose

last Friday, at the morning tea i ho4, someone brought up the topic of T***p. i almost had WWIII on my hands.

1:31 am

dcseain

And my invitation to all y'all to attend it if you can, stands.

1:31 am

dcseain

LOL, sounds like a fun time, Rose.

1:32 am

sprite

ouch, rose

1:32 am

grannyrose

thought i would have to get the fire ho4 out, like you do with fighting dogs.

1:32 am

sprite

lovely, seain! Well, who knows. Sounds like something wonderful to attend.

1:33 am

grannyrose

i think i may take a squirty bottle of water with me next time.

1:33 am

grannyrose

you never know seain, one day... when my ship comes in.

1:34 am

sprite

it always puzzles me, when people get so worked up that they cannot discuss things without getting into a fight. Why not exchange opinions and listen to the other's arguments?

1:34 am

dcseain

Yes, respectful debate can be wonderful.

1:34 am

grannyrose

exactly sprite. but i do have to admit some of the statements were very hazardous.

1:36 am

dcseain

nota bene: it is a camping event, if with flush toilets and showers in the main area.

1:36 am

grannyrose

my off-sider, usually very placid and goes with the flow, had st5 coming out of her ears. i thought she was going to storm out.

1:36 am

sprite

yeah that would be an issue. This old body doesn't do sleeping on the floor anymore. But still... camp bed... doable.

1:37 am

sprite

poor woman

1:37 am

dcseain

and between us, we can provide tent, double height airmatress, bed linens, and towels if coming a long way

1:38 am

dcseain

goodness, rose, how awkward

1:38 am

sprite

wow... that makes it very doable, seain

1:38 am

dcseain

I do hope y'all parted on speaking terms.

1:38 am

grannyrose

so long as the toilets don't have to be dug, and i can wash away the day before bed, i'm happy. btw, are hoists available? just asking for a friend who has a little? difficulty getting up from anything below 3 feet from the ground.

1:39 am

grannyrose

we did seain. i was able to shush them all before too much damage was done.

1:39 am

dcseain

we work with whatever, and have camp sites in the main area, a short walk from the plumbed and electrified amenities.

1:39 am

dcseain

I'm glad to hear tha.

1:39 am

grannyrose

nice.

1:39 am

sprite

rose is good at that

1:40 am

grannyrose

awww sprite. are you thinking of the same incident when we were over and went to Brugges together?

1:41 am

sprite

yes :)

1:42 am

grannyrose

just a little understanding and his whole attitude changed. i didn't realise how much power there is behind acknowledging another's feelings, and validating them.

1:43 am

dcseain

Albany, New York is the closest airport to our site. Several of us drive from Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, and Boston, too.

1:43 am

sprite

it really helps.

1:44 am

grannyrose

and seain? how many hours of flying before i get to Albany, New York? roflol

1:45 am

dcseain

Oh, I know! 20h from KIAD, which I live near.

1:45 am

grannyrose

hey, if i turned up, i may well be the one who has traveled the furthest.

1:45 am

dcseain

we had one person com from Doha to our 20th high school reunion.

1:46 am

sprite

especially in terms of getting back to sanity

1:46 am

grannyrose

mind you my arms would be pretty tired flying all that way..

1:46 am

sprite

thoughts of meeting seain and me IRL would keep you airborne

1:47 am

dcseain

LOL that's what brooms or umbrellas are for. Though umbrellas would be tired arms also.

1:47 am

grannyrose

buried my mother's broom with her... lol

1:47 am

dcseain

my needy cat is on me. My little orange tabby, allowed me the see and touch her.

1:48 am

grannyrose

could come by submarine or cruise liner... now there's a wonderful thought.

1:48 am

sprite

*grins* that's cats for you.

1:48 am

dcseain

Baltimore, Maryland has a cruise terminal.

1:49 am

grannyrose

awww how sweet. is this the first time she has allowed that?

1:49 am

sprite

rose, I am NOT getting into a submarine. Not. Just... not.

1:49 am

dcseain

indeed, sprite. Next year will make 50 years living with cats for me.

1:49 am

sprite

bbs, nature calls

1:49 am

grannyrose

but it will be a yellow one, and we could be on the surface most of the time

1:50 am

dcseain

no, but I've been away since Wednesday, and it's very early Monday morning now -- I'm 1h ahed of grid time.

1:51 am

dcseain

We sang yellow submarine sometimes on the school bus. We spent about 90 min each way on that bus.

1:51 am

grannyrose

ugh, go to bed you silly man...

1:51 am

dcseain

not least I need to be up at 08

1:52 am

grannyrose

* giggle * i can just hear it.

1:52 am

grannyrose

for why? 0800?

1:53 am

dcseain

I'm playing bridge about a 30 min walk away at 10, and want to make coffee and eat before I set out.

1:54 am

grannyrose

you ARE keen, aren't you? still, if you have a nice day, and you allow yourself enough time so as to not push it too hard.

1:55 am

dcseain

thank you. But I really ought clear the bed -- I dumped stuff on there on return, and sleep for a bit. Happy Babbling, y'all!

1:55 am

dcseain

::poof::

1:55 am

grannyrose

i am up at 0800 most mornings, meds regimen. except Sundays. we are up at 0600.

1:55 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams Seain

2:06 am

sprite

*sends a hug after seain* Back

2:13 am

grannyrose

welcome back dear heart.

2:13 am

sprite

thank you :) I hate having to go while babbling and chatting with you, but when you gotta go...

2:14 am

grannyrose

no an issue honey.

2:15 am

grannyrose

sounds like seain had a wow of a time.

2:15 am

sprite

yeah, truly wonderful

2:16 am

sprite

fireflies

2:16 am

grannyrose

sure would be lovely to join in one day. ahh well, a girl can dream, can't she?

2:16 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!

2:17 am

sprite

another great grid. Honey, have a lovely evening and a peaceful night. Hugs and kisses, for Don as well.
And yes, would be wonderful! Who knows, rose... we might one day.

Sorry, i am referring to the 8: th 8. Not seeing anything. Not seeing the 7 either. Duh…….

9:58 am

MollyL

There is no th7

9:59 am

That is why I said the 8 has nothing to do with the 7's and why phaeton said there is no th7

10:57 am

MollyL

Not sure if I should be impressed or worried

10:58 am

rururocks

I'm not sure either.. probably means it's getting space in my head

10:58 am

rururocks

:D

10:59 am

hokie carla

well, there are a lot today. siege, height, sight, eight to name a few.

10:59 am

MollyL

They why it's getting space in your head is the worry part

11:00 am

hokie carla

still 22 left, the most being 6 B's. are the B's bad? is it just me?

11:02 am

MollyL

I have them all so they can't be that bad

11:03 am

hokie carla

i have 17 but... really stuck

12:32 pm

Gillie

Molly says she has them all, so they can't be that bad (her words)

12:33 pm

Gillie

Some of them are definitely a bit weird, though - and I also have only 17

12:34 pm

MollyL

There are only three or four that I find odd

12:34 pm

hurshy

i mean i found several i'm proud of

12:40 pm

hurshy

it's just funny cause every other tile i've got either 1 left or grey

12:41 pm

Gillie

Well, carla was having trouble with the b's also - she had 5 left at last report

12:41 pm

hurshy

phantom: length

12:43 pm

I'm trying to match what carla had before going to the list, just to push myself a bit (I'm always very impatient)

12:43 pm

hurshy

are some of them BH?

12:43 pm

Gillie

None that I have - but I haven't listed

12:46 pm

Gillie

My weirdest ones are bi5 and bo5

12:46 pm

Gillie

the bi6 is ordinary, but a bit twisty

12:47 pm

hurshy

oh i do not have a bo5

12:47 pm

Gillie

and bo4 babblet

12:47 pm

hurshy

thanks!!! got that now

12:49 pm

hurshy

do you have all the 7s? i have ga, ho, is

12:49 pm

Gillie

oh - be7, which I think I know from Lewis Carroll

12:49 pm

Gillie

(just got it)

12:50 pm

hurshy

ahhhhh thanks

12:50 pm

hurshy

down to 8 now, half fives and half sixes

12:51 pm

Gillie

18 left here - still don't have ho7

12:51 pm

hurshy

ttfn

12:53 pm

Gillie

got the ho7 - duh

12:55 pm

Gillie

I'm very bad at 4's for some reason - still 9 left

1:01 pm

hokie carla

rehi

1:02 pm

Gillie

hi carla - was just telling hurshy that i've been trying to match your tile counts before going to the list (i'm still one short on the G)

1:03 pm

Gillie

But it looks like maybe you didn't have be7?

1:03 pm

hokie carla

these last words are very tough

1:04 pm

hokie carla

I don't. I know it's not besiege.

1:04 pm

hokie carla

found bi6 though

1:05 pm

Gillie

I'm at 8 4 3 - not as good at you at finding the 4s

1:05 pm

hokie carla

now 4-5-5-1

1:06 pm

hokie carla

I shouldn't have 4 4's left since I methodically went through every tile trying 4's and still didn't find them

1:06 pm

Gillie

be7 is used in Jabberwocky, but apparently has been around much longer

1:06 pm

hokie carla

is the be7 a regular word?

1:07 pm

Gillie

a bit weird

1:07 pm

hokie carla

oh, I remember Jabberwocky but not specifics

1:08 pm

Gillie

"bright, cheerful, and optimistic"

1:10 pm

hokie carla

read jabberwocky and saw it, thanks

1:12 pm

hokie carla

did you get the similar 5?

1:12 pm

Gillie

yes - ty

1:13 pm

1:15 pm

or the british umbrella (I had no idea and just monkeyed it)

1:16 pm

Gillie

that i don't know

1:16 pm

hokie carla

aha, found my bottom T - rhymes with that one.

1:17 pm

hokie carla

g4 looks like a g5 portmanteau (missing 2nd letter and not in grid) of glamour camping

1:17 pm

Gillie

well - i'm giving up and going to the list

1:18 pm

hokie carla

I think your bottom T might be one of 2 ta5

1:18 pm

Gillie

odd ba4 babblet

1:20 pm

Gillie

Actually, my t was a very easy ta4

1:20 pm

hokie carla

well, my A was a 4 babblet. I decided to list too

1:22 pm

hokie carla

I'm not finding any of my b's with the list. they are all 5's. moving on!

1:27 pm

Gillie

there's a bi5 that just needs one letter added to the preceding bi4

1:28 pm

Gillie

i'm stuck on a bo5

1:29 pm

Gillie

got it - a kind of tea - now just SSS

1:29 pm

hokie carla

I'm having to skip all kinds of things. no wonder I couldn't find them.

1:30 pm

hokie carla

well, the s4 took forever, still 2 s's I skipped

1:30 pm

Gillie

i'm down to a sh6

1:31 pm

hokie carla

googled the tea, thanks

1:32 pm

hokie carla

and the bi5 you mentioned. still need the one after it.

1:32 pm

hokie carla

molly is flying her word nerd flag today with those b's

1:33 pm

ends with a vowel

1:33 pm

Gillie

got my sh6 using morewords - don't think i've ever seen it before - ends with the sound sheep make

1:34 pm

hokie carla

thanks, don't think I've seen that either

1:35 pm

hokie carla

I still have S O G B. guess I will be looking them up

1:36 pm

hokie carla

oh dear, that S is a regular word

1:37 pm

Gillie

do you have ob5 - looks like a funny spelling of following a command

1:37 pm

hokie carla

just looked it up. had tried it as a 4 several times.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

could've sworn I tried the g6 earlier (not that I know the word but was just trying everything)

1:39 pm

Gillie

it's tricky because it looks like a plural

1:39 pm

Gillie

the bi5 is the animals, plants, etc. of a period

1:40 pm

Gillie

(or region)

1:40 pm

hokie carla

it is according to bestwordlist, we just don't have the sing here

1:41 pm

hokie carla

was going the wrong direction on the bi5!

1:41 pm

Gillie

oh, right

1:41 pm

hokie carla

alright, good work. thanks for the help. gotta get busy now.

1:41 pm

Gillie

have a good day!
