dcseain

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

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
sprite

night carla
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.

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

Well, carla was having trouble with the b's also - she had 5 left at last report
12:41 pm

12:43 pm
Gillie

None that I have - but I haven't listed
12:46 pm

My weirdest ones are bi5 and bo5
12:46 pm

12:47 pm

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

1:17 pm

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

1:20 pm

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

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

was going the wrong direction on the bi5!
1:41 pm

oh, right
