🤣🤣 I love it. With capital letters like LOOK, I AM POSTING A WORD IN THE CHAT

On occasion, my beloved will try to play Babble because she misses it. Due to the ongoing evolution of her degeneratuve eye disease this has made it very difficult for her to do so, but she has certain habits that help her--such as typing all in caps when playing word games, or typing out e-mails. She always hopes that people understand her reason for using all caps, and not make fun of her for doing so should she mistakenly type the word into the chat room.
5:58 am
Deeha
i type words in the chatroom all the time. i have no excuse. a good old English saying- more power to her elbow
6:14 am
rbud
hear, hear, crossy. Let us all be more tolerant of the few remaining babblers, we are all a declining breed these days.
6:17 am
rbud
in fact, I should indeed mean "more loving and caring" along with "tolerant". (((hugs))) to my fellow word nerds.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Agreed. No one intentionally places a grid word in the chat.
6:22 am
mael
also agreed, it's such a small oops that we can all smile and move on
6:23 am
Norma
And sometimes it is a word you haven't got lol
6:23 am
ivesy3
any one have a clue for the de 9 plz
6:25 am
Scrabbler
True, Norma. We are here for fun, not for criticism.
6:30 am
Scrabbler
Name that 1960's-70s cereal with an alien mascot.
6:33 am
rbud
I had to look it up, so won't play - not sure I ever knew that one, must not have been paying attention on Saturday morning, haha!
6:34 am
Scrabbler
It was popular for us back then.
6:36 am
rbud
cute lil' alien! :D
7:07 am
Scrabbler
Back on-line. Gosh, we depend on those electrons flowing.
7:47 am
MollyL
Quisp. How could you possibly miss those commercials during Saturday cartoons?
7:50 am
MollyL
And by the way, I was smiling. In fact I was laughing.

great clue, thanks ru
8:42 am
rururocks
hi doren
8:42 am
rururocks
how did the seder go?
8:43 am
Dorens
lovely. Arthur's parents are not at all religious, so no Haggadah. Matzos yes, chopped liver ( I made it) but no choruses (horrors!). my favorite dish as a kid, so I always made it to ensure lots and lots of it. I will make it next year.
8:43 am
Dorens
Going to Rachel's today to make a brisket and cake - It's Bucket's birthday. He's 3 already
8:44 am
Dorens
How are you, RU?
8:44 am
rururocks
holy cow... three?
8:44 am
rururocks
I'm fine.. have a big event tonight teaching a masterclass in wine
8:46 am
Dorens
Ooh, lovely. Where is it being held?
8:46 am
phaeton
Hey ru...do you know of a guy out there by the name of Hoffman?
8:46 am
rururocks
Pleasanton (east bay)
8:46 am
rururocks
Hoffman? I know a few hoffmans which one?
8:47 am
phaeton
not sure of the first name...big winery guy. Tried to start a Napa style winery in Missouri.
8:48 am
rururocks
oh.. there's a guy who has a ranch out here in Paso Robles named Hoffman.. I've had a few Missouri wines in my life
8:49 am
phaeton
He bought up almost a whole town here...Augusta MO, then something happened and it all fell throught
8:50 am
rururocks
yeah.. that's the quickest way to lose a fortune
8:51 am
phaeton
He was big into 50's pickup trucks
8:52 am
phaeton
I don't know if he died and his son tried to take over, but something happened to him
8:53 am
rururocks
well that's a sad story then
8:53 am
phaeton
yeah...the town now has a lot of empty buildings with his name on them
8:54 am
rururocks
hence the name? Dust in Hoffman?
9:01 am

clue for the di8?
9:04 am

hi saan hiya bea
9:12 am
rururocks
wow.. the other ten is a wine term
9:22 am
saanichcat
hey there dorens, letter soon xoxo
9:24 am
MollyL
I thought the ac10 was a cooking term. Why would you do that to wine?
9:26 am
rururocks
when the grapes get really ripe (like in napa and Australia) they have to sometimes add acid to balance them.
9:26 am
rururocks
the acid drops out of the grapes and the juice is a term we call "Flabby"
9:26 am
MollyL
No wonder wine gives some people heartburn
9:27 am
BzznBea
Or acid reflux.
9:29 am
rururocks
I've had a lifetime of wine and never heartburn
9:32 am
rururocks
maybe that's because I have a big heart :D
9:41 am
Dorens
big heart indeed
9:42 am

okay, there's a latin sounding 6, that you need to add di in front of, and you can probably laterally figure out the word from that clue
