12:20 am

sprite

morning babblers

1:01 am

grannyrose

morning spritey. haven't spoken to you in ages.... roflol

1:01 am

sprite

lol :P That is because I am still biting my tongue not to let you have it

1:03 am

grannyrose

just messaged you in whatsapp. reply when you are ready, okay?

1:04 am

sprite

already did. Yeah that's me. Fast as the wind.

1:04 am

grannyrose

phew... was that what it was?

1:06 am

sprite

that or superman. Superwoman. Oh wait. One and the same, yes.

1:06 am

grannyrose

superthem???

1:06 am

sprite

that will do in a pinch. Mind, we do prefer our full titles.

1:07 am

sprite

on a side note, what a waste of a perfectly good gerund ending

1:08 am

grannyrose

you won't believe this but I have finally found out about google calendar. i'm getting organised... if that's possible.

1:08 am

sprite

good girl!

1:09 am

grannyrose

that gerund ending is responsible for most of the big biggies

1:10 am

sprite

okay. That reconciles me a little with this grid then. So far, only duds in that department. But it is early days.

1:10 am

sprite

but oooooo wasn't yesterday's grid a treasure!

1:11 am

grannyrose

it really is a lovely grid when i find all the biggies on my lonesome.

1:11 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. i had a ball with that one.

1:12 am

sprite

finding biggies by yourself is a sport in itself nowadays. I do my utter best not to read certain people. Sometimes my eyes slip and they are even giving stats for 4 and 5 letter words.

1:15 am

grannyrose

yeah. that seems a little excessive. but i think it is usually 4's that have no vowels, or a babblet which everyone seems to miss.

1:16 am

sprite

thus robbing everybody from the chance of finding it themselves, too

1:16 am

grannyrose

true that.

1:17 am

sprite

I am getting better at not seeing the posts though :) I would hide chat but I do not wish to miss chatting with my friends. Choices, choices, lol

1:20 am

grannyrose

about an hour after flip is usually safest. all the biggies usually have been called by then. but then again, if it is a large grid you may catch the tail end of the calls.

1:23 am

sprite

I know. I try to maneuver through that minefield. Sometimes really longing for the time when babble was still allowed to be a bit of a challenge and an invitation to use your brain a little extra, not the instant gratification it seems to have become. Most like-minded players have stopped, so I have become... what is that called in english? Someone who calls into the desert?

1:26 am

grannyrose

now you've got me. what is it in dutch?

1:27 am

sprite

nope. The english bible text speaks of the voice in the wilderness. In dutch it is Roepende in de woestijn.

1:28 am

grannyrose

John the Baptist??

1:29 am

sprite

John 1:23 I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness.

1:31 am

sprite

so now I am wondering which translation is closest to the arameic. Oh, that squirrel brain!

1:33 am

grannyrose

well most of the new testament was in greek. you could look through a concordance.

1:36 am

grannyrose

some scholars say it was translated from aramaic or hebrew into Koine greek, which roughly translates to common greek.

1:38 am

sprite

one source I found breaks down the verses into words. The greek word is eremos, it refers to uncultivated or disconnected place, or a state of separateness or even loneliness. So both translations are a bit free :D

1:40 am

grannyrose

hence why i use a concordance. i can cross reference words across multiple languages.

1:41 am

sprite

yes that makes sense to me

1:43 am

grannyrose

strangely i usually work from a king james bible. the newer translations can be quite mistaken.

1:47 am

sprite

most bibles being translations from translations, it is inevitable there are mistakes.

1:52 am

sprite

ha, found the 12!

1:53 am

grannyrose

whoot. well done

1:56 am

sprite

and also the other real biggies. Happy dance.

1:58 am

grannyrose

yay sprite !!

2:04 am

sprite

fireflies. Tricky grid. Fun! *hugs* my darling, will get you all dates and addresses now.

I take exception to the 12....just sayin'!

5:45 am

MollyL

You don

5:45 am

MollyL

You don't think one could say "those mothers are s12" their children?

5:46 am

ChampFit

It's ridiculous! BBL for last 14...

6:52 am

aslindy

hello all. wow, a 12 today? and such a small grid.

7:06 am

aslindy

well. it is an odd word.

7:20 am

MollyL

Well, I agree. I would say those mothers are putting ____on their children. It looks like the kind of word that would get a big red X from an English teacher.

7:27 am

aslindy

I don't think it's a verb. I think it can be used to describe the ingredients in the product. They are s12 ingredients.

7:28 am

rururocks

what's the second letter of the s 12?

7:29 am

aslindy

u

7:30 am

I am reading about that school shooting in Wisconsin and it is some sad stuff. A second grader made the call to the police.

9:16 am

BzznBea

I've been so involved in the letters in this grid, I didn't bother looking at the stats. Wow!

9:40 am

wingding

molly, my 4th grader asked if he could not go to school so he wouldn't be shot and killed ... pretty sad that a child would think like that now-a-days

9:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I read the gn4 today oh boy, Free clue

wingding

10:00 am

10:02 am

rastapopolous

10:02 am
