ChampFit

I still need 2 there, but so far no dog-combos

8:39 am

8:55 am

hokie carla

sorry

8:56 am

ChampFit

Ummm....just found a dog word! Compound.

8:56 am

hokie carla

I assume it's the one molly said I was close when I said phantom dogfish but haven't found it

8:57 am

ChampFit

I guess. It goes up

8:58 am

hokie carla

a 7 or 6?

8:59 am

9:00 am

pcal2

9:00 am

ChampFit

9:01 am

aslindy

9:02 am

ChampFit

You're right there...not a run, but a t***

9:02 am

hokie carla

well that's weird. thanks y'all.

9:03 am

ChampFit

yep

9:05 am

hokie carla

just spotted a delish candy bar

9:07 am

ChampFit

Yes...just found my last o. Ou 6/33

9:22 am

hurshy

good morning babblers!

9:22 am

ChampFit

morning!

9:23 am

hokie carla

from which one? (on the O. I took a breakfast break)

9:23 am

hurshy

how are you folks doing today

9:23 am

hokie carla

hey hurshy

9:24 am

ChampFit

I wish I could tell you, but it could've come from either of the two on the left. It goes down then back up.

9:25 am

hurshy

if it "could" come from either it comes from the first, left to right and top to bottom

9:25 am

hokie carla

do you know the rules of how to determine that? some people don't is why I ask.

9:25 am

hokie carla

what hurshy just said

9:25 am

hurshy

why waste time asking when you can just state it lol

9:26 am

ChampFit

Didn't know the rule. Top I guess. But it works with both.

9:26 am

hokie carla

didn't want to presume she didn't know. it's possible she didn't want to bother figuring it out.

9:26 am

hokie carla

I found it. it is the top. still need one O below.

9:27 am

hurshy

and the one you have is shrek?

9:27 am

ChampFit

FW. Last word tu6. Need anything before I scoot?

9:28 am

hokie carla

so champ, the only way the one I'm missing is OU is if it goes up and uses the top O again. so I will focus on OD, OS, OG

9:28 am

hokie carla

well, lindy was looking for a clue for that tu6 before, champ. (and I never found it)

9:28 am

hokie carla

I do have the shrek one

9:29 am

ChampFit

there's an od that I didn't see for a while. That tu is something I haven't seen before...Although if you think about it makes sense. It's about plants, but also swollen or distended.

9:30 am

ChampFit

Od 6/24.

9:30 am

hurshy

thanks champ

9:30 am

ChampFit

Gotta run. Busy day. Enjoy!

9:46 am

hurshy

I can be really dense sometimes

10:12 am

dan2bit

i am down to the 8

10:13 am

hurshy

well i haven't seen the 8 that you said was easy, what does that start with

10:13 am

Soodle

The gr 7 is a tradition around here. When a bride is leaving her home to go to the church, her father throws small coins to the children of the neighbours who have gathered to see her off.

10:13 am

rururocks

di8

10:14 am

hurshy

does ireland allow political asylum on the grounds that you are experiencing moral injury from living in a country that is enabling a genocide, soodle?

10:16 am

Soodle

Yes, Hursh. I recently got promoted & am now working in Immigration. There are very few applicants for political asylum that are refused.

10:17 am

hurshy

even if you're not physically unsafe?

10:17 am

Soodle

But because of our ope door policy, now we have massive problems accommodating asylum seekers

10:18 am

hurshy

so i would be contributing to your problem

10:18 am

dan2bit

oh duh. finito. I was overcomplicating my di8 guesses

10:19 am

Soodle

The canned response to that is ‘every application is considered on it’s own merit”, but in fact, less than .1% are refused.

10:19 am

hokie carla

I've resorted to looking up my S6 and know the 3rd letter and still can't find it.

10:19 am

hokie carla

okay, got it

You should see me. I have a uniform with a peaked cap & a Hi-Viz jacket. I even have a clip board. 😂

10:23 am

hurshy

boy do i feel like a dope now

10:24 am

Soodle

Much more difficult to get asylum in thr

10:24 am

Soodle

The UK now, Ru since Brexit

10:24 am

rururocks

oh.. that's interesting.

10:25 am

rururocks

I did love Scotland. So beautiful everywhere.

10:28 am

Soodle

A lot of asylum seekers really want to go to the UK. They are granted asylum in Ireland, take a bus or train to Northern Ireland. There are no border checks between N Ireland & the UK, so they can flee there. It’s a nightmare for us, as our figures are all skewed.

10:34 am

hurshy

well thank you for the info soodle, that's helpful to know

10:37 am

Thank you Soodle, very informative!

*news flash: large increase in applications of babble players to Ireland

10:50 am

Soodle

😊

11:13 am

Gillie

According to the Irish Times, "Nearly 60 per cent of all asylum applications (5,197) made last year were refused in the first instance, a threefold increase on 2022 when just 18 per cent of applications (875) were refused. Overall, 28 per cent of applicants in 2023 were granted refugee status, 6 per cent were granted leave to remain and 2.5 per cent were granted subsidiary protection." (https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/so\ncial-affairs/2024/02/15/nearly-600-asy\nlum-seekers-refused-refugee-status-in-\njanuary/)

Hi Gillie The operative words in thw in that

Sorry. The operative words in that Irish Times article were that so many applications for asylum were rejected IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

3:44 pm

Soodle

I personally have processed applicants for political asylum in Ireland, who have told me that they have walked all the way from their home countries to Ireland. Errm. Ireland is an island. Not possible to walk here.
