now epee

1:08 am

sprite

I so want to switch the H and S tiles.

1:14 am

dcseain

yes, that would be nice

1:15 am

dcseain

having played this for many years, as I've gotten older, I'm finding im' more likely to type Spanish words without thinking.

1:16 am

sprite

oh yes. And yiddish words. And currencies. And oddball words.

1:16 am

sprite

I realised recently that I have played this game for 20 years. Imagine!

1:17 am

dcseain

schlemiel, Schlamassel, Hassenpfeffer, Incorporated!

that was the opening to the them to Lavern and Shirley, a US sitcom in the 1970s.

1:18 am

dcseain

them, not them

1:18 am

sprite

ah, lol, I was wondering what brought on that specific random collection

1:21 am

Nef

Hello, all. Sprite, you’ve been playing for 20 years? I stared playing back in 2002 or ‘03. I thought you were here before me!

1:25 am

dcseain

I started in Sep 2008. Didn't speak in chat until very late December.

1:29 am

angelinaxox

Sues

1:30 am

Nef

I stpped playing for quite a while because of some hostil posters & also my family stressors ( hubby’s illness & our sons political beliefs)

1:31 am

Nef

Now I just try to play grids & usually try not to chat much.

1:33 am

mab

gosh, we were young.

1:33 am

mab

now somewhat less so.

1:35 am

sprite

hiya Nef and mab! Glad to see you in chat.

1:35 am

dcseain

I stopped for a while too, but am glad to be back

1:35 am

sprite

Nef, I started earlier but became pro in 04. So that is 20 years.

1:36 am

sprite

sorry I was late in responding, dog vomited all over the bed, ughhhh, had to clean up and get the washing machine working.

1:36 am

dcseain

the person who referred me had been here for years before he hold me about it. So 20 feels right

1:36 am

Nef

I just noticed my profile says I joined in 2005, so evidently I played anonymously for a couple of years!

1:37 am

sprite

yeah same for me. Wow, remember those days? When you could play for quite a while without being given unasked for clues and stats?

1:37 am

mab

I keep a good thought for you and husband, nef. and you, sprite. I think your husband has had some heart issues? I was very shocked to find that I have sever arterial disease.

1:38 am

sprite

yes, he does, thank you. That is a tough thing, mab, am so sorry. I hope it is manageable?

1:38 am

dcseain

oh, 2005 for me too. 19 years in the blink of an eye

1:39 am

dcseain

I do recall waiting several hours to give any stats.

1:39 am

mab

I'm not sure. it's really rather quite bad. due to an autoimune illness most of my life and constant inflamation. who would have thought.

1:40 am

sprite

am so sorry, mab. Not easy to live with.

1:41 am

sprite

it used to be bad form to give clues and stats without being asked, and the first hour or so you weren't supposed to ask at all. No tile stats or word stats either back then, just the grid.

1:41 am

dcseain

I'm sorry to hear that mab

1:42 am

mab

and i have no other markers for this. no symptoms. must get lots of exercise. there will be no reversal but, I don't know. cardiologist appt soon.

1:42 am

sprite

will hold you in my thoughts and prayers, mab.

1:43 am

mab

i do so miss the brits. thank you all.

1:43 am

dcseain

will hold you in the light, mab

1:44 am

mab

how lovely. how i miss d.c.. my little newport place.

1:44 am

Nef

We are now in assisted living & we know several residents here with arterial disease. Right now a dear fried was told Sunday that the pain in her leg is an arterial clot & she has had enough surgeries that they can’t fix it anymore ( she hasseveral other problems besides the arterial disease). She called her hubby from thee ER & told him jokingly that she’s on her last leg & was coming home to die. (She’s 91, so not a surgical candidate with her heart & other issues).

1:45 am

sprite

that is sad, Nef. But I love her sense of humour.

1:46 am

mab

poor thing. i know many get philosophical about their own and others' aging.

1:48 am

mab

readin Lore Moore - writes fiction now about very old upper west side people. somehow makes it hilarious. she herself is in her 90s I think.

1:49 am

sprite

sounds fun

1:49 am

mab

these people never give up living their lives.

1:50 am

Nef

Both she & her hubby said that they knew that this would happen some day because of all of her other issues. Neitherare depressed about it, they both are prepared for it. Thry’ve been married 67 yrs. & are quite sharp & aware of what’s ahead.

1:50 am

sprite

it's definitely the trick not to stop living until you are dead

1:50 am

sprite

somehow, Nef, that is beautiful. Sad, but very beautiful.

1:51 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. * hugs * sprite. * hugs * nef, * hugs * mab.

1:51 am

mab

oh nef, i see you as middle aged in my head.

1:51 am

sprite

hiya rose! How are you doing?

1:52 am

mab

hi rose.

1:52 am

grannyrose

somewhere over the rainbow sprite.

1:52 am

mab

spring coming on for you soon

1:52 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

1:52 am

Nef

Right, sprite! I have another dear ladty here who is 101 & was told she has colon cancer & is terminal. So she got Hospice in, quit eating for a week & then figured out thar

1:53 am

grannyrose

i slept through to 6:20am last night. on a Tuesday !!

1:53 am

sprite

you sleepyhead!

1:53 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

1:54 am

mab

oh, age doesn't even matter. I want everyone to live forever.

1:54 am

sprite

when my grandmother died, my grandfather said he was grateful to be able to do this last thing for her: to be the one left alone. I thought that was so touching.

1:54 am

mab

used to volunteer for hospice, thinking of doing that again.

1:56 am

Nef

That she couldn’t rush her death, so she let the 24 hr Hospice service go & she’s back playing cards, socializing & knitting dish cloths like crazy again.

1:56 am

sprite

oh wow Nef, amazing. Such spirit

1:56 am

grannyrose

physio here at the hospital showed me how to add metres to my laps around the ward. i am now doing almost a total of 2 kilometres when i do my 6 laps during the day.

1:56 am

sprite

you are amazing too, rose

1:57 am

mab

Isn't that the thing. you just go on.

1:57 am

grannyrose

the elderly never ce5 to amaze me. their fighting spirit is a thing of awe.

2:00 am

mab

and some are done. of course, pain is defeating, etc.

2:01 am

mab

so cheery i am tonight. sorry.

2:01 am

sprite

pain is something that eats up your energy. I have been living with chronic pain for... oh my, over 28 years now. You either learn to manage it or you are eating up alive.

2:02 am

sprite

eaten*

2:02 am

Nef

I’dlove to stay & chat longer with you all, but my eyes are closing & I

2:02 am

sprite

sleep well, Nef. It was lovely to catch up with you.

2:03 am

dcseain

sweet dreams, Ned, it's been nice to see you

2:03 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams dear nef.

2:03 am

mab

night nef.

2:03 am

sprite

seain's autocorrect is having a ball

2:03 am

Kamanjah

Hi all!

2:03 am

Nef

Keep falling asleep now. Good night. Happy Babbling!

2:03 am

sprite

hiya Kam! *hug*

2:03 am

grannyrose

hey Kam * hugs * honey

2:05 am

Kamanjah

I hope you all are doing well, even dealing with the chronic pain. It's a daily fight we all want to win!

2:06 am

mab

for you with chronic infammatory, autoimmune things, do be checked for arterial issues.

2:07 am

sprite

I had a really hard time learning to stay within my limits. I prolonged my suffering quite a bit that way. So headstrong, lol. Nowadays, I more or less respect my limits, keeping my workload low, lots of recovery time in between. That works. Still in pain, but no longer exhausted so much better able to cope.

2:07 am

sprite

good pointer, mab, thanks

2:13 am

mab

effective treatments if sought early.

2:14 am

sprite

I am gonna pass that on to my child-in-law. They have FM and Chronic Fatigue. Pretty sure there is autoimmune issues there.

2:18 am

sprite

rose, when are you going into hospital again?

2:18 am

grannyrose

sorry to butinsky here. sprite, my stylus for my phone lost it's tip. thought i didn't have another one then remembered one i had in my hand bag. so i am again able to message you.

2:19 am

sprite

ah, wonderful! I missed you.

2:24 am

sprite

saturday is Brigitte's cremation. We will be underway most of the day, it is in the middle of the country and of course they are working on the road in several places, so long traffic jams. We will bring Nero to Caya and Juno, no use dragging his hairy little body with us in a hot car.

2:27 am

grannyrose

a lot to struggle through darling. make sure you take of yourself properly.

2:28 am

sprite

yes, will make sure we have plenty of water with us. And something to eat as well. And we will leave early, so no stress to be in time. Better to wait there.

2:28 am

grannyrose

i'm in hospital now sprite. that's what i meant when i said i had slept for so long overnight on a Tiesday. usually takes me another 24 hours to settle down to doing that.

2:29 am

sprite

ahhhhh now I get it. I was thinking I had it wrong that it was hospital time already. Am glad it is going so well this time!

2:30 am

grannyrose

your not slow at all sprite. it's just the way your dressed... lol

2:30 am

grannyrose

ugh...you're....not your

2:30 am

sprite

roflolol I love you too

2:31 am

grannyrose

there, i made sprite laugh. my job here is done.

2:32 am

Kamanjah

I hope all goes smoothly for both of you.

2:33 am

grannyrose

thanks Kam

2:33 am

grannyrose

is it cooling down a little over thereKam?

2:34 am

Kamanjah

It did for a couple of days, but we are due for very high temps over the next weekend. It was too hot tonight to open the windows and door. I'm glad I have good AC.

2:36 am

grannyrose

i'm glad you have it too.

2:36 am

sprite

once we find our place to live, I might consider getting AC. I simply HATE hot weather.

2:37 am

Kamanjah

There is NO way I could live without it here. We have weeks on end of over 95F and this year has had weeks of over 100F. Too hot for me!

2:38 am

sprite

it is always a dilemma here. Because it is not often that hot. But when it is, it is so humid and unbearable. Plus, it happens more often nowadays. Sometimes for weeks on end. So yeah. Maybe a portable AC.

2:40 am

Kamanjah

As we get older, staying comfortable is more important!

2:41 am

sprite

I find I function less and less in hot weather the older I get. The headaches are getting worse, the joint pains, the muscle cramps. And the feeling of having two elephants on my shoulders, lol. So yeah. I'd say being comfortable is becoming more important.

2:43 am

grannyrose

i love my A/C. every morning i get up, kiss it and say i love you. then i say good morning to Don.

2:43 am

Kamanjah

Definitely! I bought a solar system over a year ago because our electric company raised rates so high because of all of the fires they caused. They paid out millions, if not billions, because so many homes burned down.

2:44 am

sprite

oh dear. Amazing, isn't it, how we always end up paying for their mistakes?

2:46 am

Kamanjah

They have really been trying to improve their infrastructure. Helicopters are always flying around inspecting the lines. I think it has been a couple of years since they were found guilty of starting a fire. They are working hard to make it safer, and the feet on the ground are good people.

2:46 am

dcseain

I'm glad to hear that. But it makes sense rates went up therefore. sigh

2:47 am

sprite

yes, of course they are. I am just frustrated that in the end, the consumer pays. It may be the company that is to blame for the fires and they pay out billions, but then they turn around and take back their money by raising their rates. In stead of cutting their whatiscalleds. Gains. Winnings. You know.

2:49 am

Kamanjah

I know. But the state controls rate increases and has allowed all of the ones they requested. That is annoying.

2:49 am

sprite

very annoying

2:49 am

dcseain

agreed that that is annoying, kamanjah

2:51 am

sprite

fireflies. A very enjoyable grid, apart from those H and S tiles that should be switched.

2:51 am

dcseain

yay sprite

2:51 am

Kamanjah

One of the downsides of living in California! I've been here all my life, and I've been in this house since 2000. I'm too old to move anywhere else!

2:52 am

Kamanjah

Yay Sprite!

2:52 am

dcseain

I think I'm going to finally sleep.

2:52 am

dcseain

happy babbling, yall!

2:52 am

Kamanjah

G'night! I'm not far behind you.

2:52 am

sprite

sleep well, seain

2:53 am

sprite

am gonna love and leave you. *hugs* my dear friends. You are such a lovely start of my days. I wish you all a peaceful night and a blessed day.

2:53 am

7:09 am

montreal13

1st pass done , 41 left - bbl - have a great day all - "poof"

7:14 am

hokie carla

have to say these words aren't jumping out at me

7:26 am

Kiani

oh man, moved wrong this morning and went from a sore muscle in my back to an absolute steel rod. Makes for such a joy to be at a computer desk all day for work...

7:27 am

hokie carla

ugh. maybe try to stand every so often? I admit I don't know a lot about back troubles.

7:28 am

Kiani

I do have a standing desk option but I can't currently lift the thing

7:29 am

MollyL

I have extended experience with back pain. Ibuprofen and a heating pad.

7:32 am

Kiani

right now, no heating pad. Lidocaine patch.

7:34 am

MollyL

Those can be a problem for back pain for those with no one to put it on for you. The twisting you have to do to get a patch on your own back can cause exacerbation of the pain.

7:35 am

Kiani

My sis helped me out :) otherwise definitely would have skipped it

7:37 am

MollyL

The thing that helps my back the most when it's out is a brace, similar to those belts the UPS and FedEx guys wear. For some reason, that support is wonderful for back pain.

7:38 am

hokie carla

well, finished first pass. barely got HOET on several tiles. 59 left for after tennis. TTFN. good luck with the back pain, kiani.

7:41 am

Kiani

7:44 am

8:05 am

mael

gets weirder, it's a half day like every Wednesday, then they go tomorrow, and then they're off until Tuesday.

8:13 am

hurshy

sometimes they like to ease the kids back into it

8:14 am

mael

that's the rationale but it never works out that way

8:16 am

Kiani

huh. I don't remember that from when I was in grade school. Granted, that was a while ago :)

8:20 am

hurshy

how is re(MRI) not a word???

8:24 am

aslindy

back again. sorry to hear about the back pain, kiani.

8:26 am

mael

8:26 am

8:32 am

hurshy

phantom: escape

8:34 am

aslindy

I have no idea what the french word for cow is

8:35 am

hurshy

well then it's lucky for you it doesn't count lol

8:35 am

hurshy

it's la vache

8:35 am

hurshy

found 3 more ve words

8:35 am

hurshy

and another pair

8:36 am

hurshy

so at most there are 2 va... but possibly just the one

8:36 am

aslindy

I only have 8 of the v words

8:36 am

hurshy

well i recommend focusing your monkeys on VE, not VA

8:36 am

aslindy

but I have not yet had all my coffee. and there have been distractions this morning.

8:38 am

hurshy

the Cs might be worse than the Vs actually

8:40 am

mael

4 Vs left

8:41 am

hurshy

i am in trouble

8:41 am

hurshy

i didn't get enough sleep, am so tired, but now will be working followed by 4 hour class in the evening... idk how i'm going to stay awake

8:43 am

mael

yikes , hurshy I'm sorry

8:44 am

hurshy

well, ttfn, wish me luck

8:44 am

aslindy

11:51 am

cybernan

tu 6/27 please?

11:51 am

hokie carla

don't believe I have that one (re7)

11:52 am

BzznBea

tu6 is sounds like the 4 after it.

11:52 am

hokie carla

I also do not have the tu6

11:52 am

Shellbell_o-well

a fancy way to spell tu4/6

11:53 am

The tu is like the tu4 with an extra cons in the middle and a vowel at the end.

Apparently, according to Collins English Dictionary: 1. (in a hunt) the sounding of the horn to call back or signal to the hounds. verb (intransitive) 2. (of a huntsman) to sound a horn to call back or signal to the hounds in a hunt.

12:47 pm

a lot of latin/greek/french sounding words in this one

12:55 pm

Well, my last T supports that statement moo

12:55 pm

hokie carla

struggling with ce6/24

1:00 pm

ChampFit

Good! Just finished the stupid V's

1:01 pm

hokie carla

1:01 pm

ChampFit

I need 2 S's Sc5 and and sh7. Help?

1:01 pm

hokie carla

still need 2 S and that C

Well at least we can feel stupid together.

1:02 pm

hokie carla

same two

1:03 pm

hokie carla

found the 5, ends in a cons like something you might stab someone with in prison

1:03 pm

hokie carla

the 7, just add a vowel to the 6

1:04 pm

ChampFit

That's annoying! Thank you!!!

1:05 pm

hokie carla

ok, the c looks like the singular of a plural we have all the time and I typed earlier just in case I wasn't seeing it

1:05 pm

hokie carla

never have looked it up but it's an ancient greek girdle

1:06 pm

ChampFit

Ok...one thing at a time....the s first...

1:06 pm

hokie carla

did moo finish or go back to work?

1:06 pm

ChampFit

Idk. Just got the weird ass 5...

1:06 pm

hokie carla

gotta take whineston out

1:07 pm

ChampFit

Well I have the one that looks like a plural. you're saying the 6/24 is similar?

1:08 pm

hokie carla

the c plural that isn't here is a 5 that ends in i, so the singular is of course a 6 ending in not them

1:08 pm

hokie carla

because greek

1:09 pm

hokie carla

you might be stuck on the wrong 3rd letter.

1:10 pm

ChampFit

And that did it...thank you!!! See you tomorrow. Go walk Winston. I need to pick my 2 up from daycare.

1:10 pm

hokie carla

hasta manana!

1:35 pm

moolingwa

still 2 :)

1:49 pm

hokie carla

If I had to guess I'd say the S is the 5 and the T is the 6

1:50 pm

hokie carla

oh, and I know which T6 it is. I mean I already knew which S5 it is.

2:16 pm

5:08 pm

hurshy

5:10 pm

Gillie

I'm gonna say ce6/21, ce6/24, ch6/24, and ch6/39

5:13 pm

hurshy

5:14 pm

Gillie

Yes, I just one of each

5:17 pm

Gillie

The ch6/39 is another spelling of h5/22 - cantor of a synagogue, if you have that

5:20 pm

Gillie

ce6/24 is the singular of a Greek word that we often have the plural of (the plural ends in i - hokie mentioned it earlier)

5:20 pm

Gillie

do you have ch5/16 and plural?

5:21 pm

hurshy

thanks, i didn't have it, but now i got both

Minveryork

Hi hurshy! How are you doing? Welcome back to the grid!

8:18 pm

hurshy

thanks min. i'm doing alright, how about you?

8:23 pm

Minveryork

I am doing ok. I'm trying to get psyched about going back to work in September.Seems to be easier said than done.

8:24 pm

hurshy

that's for sure - esp if there are people at work who are difficult to deal with. the school where i taught for two years had a horrid woman that made things pretty miserable for a lot of us.

8:26 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I do have a few difficult co-workers, but I also have some very nice co-workers too so it balances out I guess.

8:34 pm

hurshy

let me tell you, one time when i was a sub, this little second grade girl came in from recess, came up to me and said, "i'm feeling sad. my dad died last year and i was thinking about him at recess." as i comforted her, another little girl who had heard what she said came up to her and said sympathetically, "do you want to sit with me?" and the girl said yes, and they went off holding hands to sit down. those are the moments you gotta live for, amiright?

8:35 pm

jesdraggon

Hi Min, hursh :) I'm doing alright, thanks for asking, Min. how are you?

8:35 pm
