This is the NINTH set of Anagrams, which were started over
for various reasons like hitting a snag, or taking up too many
pages.
This game is just fine as it is. I don't know who started the
"talk" with each post, but I won't do it.
Josiah if you want to start a game of your own, you are
free to do so, we may, some of us, even join you now and again.
BUT I FOR ONE WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN YOUR SINGLE-HANDED
DECLARATION THAT POSTERS HAVE TO USE THE WORD IN A SENTENCE.

I've been on this game for five years and it has been just
fine as it is. I don't even read your sentences and
other gibberish which is added to the post, just the word
which I then work on. Thanks but no thanks.
And the "Subject" space is plenty of room to place an opinion.

No need for such vehemence, Luke! Just do it the way you want to. If you don't care to add subtext, don't ! I take the "Declaration" as a trial balloon, not an Imposition. People will follow or not if they find the idea tempting, and give it up quickly if it's more trouble that it's worth. Meantime we all have the Big Three roolz to fall back on.
Posted By: LukeJavan8 Re: Add, subtract, change, your turn now - 09/03/13 03:12 PM
Thank you. I consider myself 'chastened'. And I deserve it.
I guess I am still stinging from the other thread where
I was adding more than one letter: my fault, I did not
understand the roolz of that one. I do understand the
roolz of this thread. And my take of "declare" is more
in line with Congress has the right to declare war. We
have different takes on the word. Thanks.

BTW, the number of posts on a page is user-definable. If you want. The default value is 10, putting you on P. 27 after 270 posts. If you go to MyStuff>Edit Preferences>[down ten options] you can make a page be any number of posts up to 99; after doing that, the same 270 posts puts me only 3/4 of the way through page 3!

BELLS
HEAR the sledges with the bells,
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars, that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells

According to project Director Craven: while divers were undergoing week-long decompression, repeated attempts were made to sabotage their air supply by someone aboard the command barge. A guard was posted on the decompression chamber and the men were recovered safely. A unstable suspect was identified by the staff psychiatrist but the culprit was never prosecuted. Craven suggests this may have been done to spare the Navy bad press so soon after the USS Pueblo incident. The SEALAB program came to a halt.

Question: How did Luke get to UNREAL from your AROUND? smile
JJ: wofa's "unread" was the word I was working on.
I got to 'unreal' just by looking at the word. When I was in
the process of posting it, we had an electrical surge here,
and by the time I got the computer back on and posted it
endy's 'around' had not yet reached my email inbox. Logging
back on I still got 'unread' and posted 'unreal', and now
I see there was a 9 minute delay between endy and myself.
Sorry for the confusion, but 'unreal' was there when I
posted it. And yes, I do appreciate the correction. But
it happened unwittingly.

Take another look at JJs post above (# 213351, from 9:02 PM yesterday [barring typos]) and click on the SHOW ME button. The word LEAPED isn't in BOLD, but it is all caps. That seems to be the word on the table at the moment, and you can't go from LEAPED to CALLED in one step.

Let me add an S to LEAPED to move things along, since much has

My times are different from yours. But maybe we need

Anecdote of the Jar
____________________By Wallace Stevens 1879–1955

I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.

The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Incidentally FODDERING can be made into DEROOFING, as any tornado survivor can tell you. But it's still too late, so put the roof back on.

And RELOADING also goes to CAROLINED, as in "I've heard so much Neil Diamond lately I'm all Sweet CAROLINED out," but that's kinda forced, so forget about it and go back to GARDENING

OK,
I am sure you are getting some thrill out of quoting people

out what word we are working on.
I agreed to repeat the word so my mistakes could be traced
backward, could I now ask that everyone embolden the
word you are submitting for the rest of us to work on, please?
Sometimes you all are carrying on a conversation that makes
little sense to me. I don't mind if you want to chit-chat
since it seems to please you, but I really don't like to
have to read all of it looking for the word to work on. I'd

Maybe so, Luke, but even as you read this you are holding in your hand a window to the repository of all knowledge. You just need the willingness to poke around a little. On your own, or with a little help from your friends to show you where to poke. In this case if you "Google-translate" (go to translate.google.com, or another free onlilne translator) and put in "ich brauche Hilfe von Wofa, wahrscheinlich" (no need to type, just cut and paste) it will give you the translation. (Or at least a first approximation of one; definitely it has its limits...though in this case, it gave "I need help from Wofa, probably" ! )

Endy - whenever you write a post, there is a row of icons across the top of the composing box. The smiley-face gives you a truckload of emoticons to pick from. The "world-with-a-paper-clip" gives you the opportunity to insert a link to another web page. B is bold, I is italicize, U is underline, and those three are almost-universal shortcuts; try them in your word-processor. There are others; have fun exploring!.

Thanks,Doc. I do know how to google translate, but don't see
why I should be the one doing it.

On the thread where you play with the word of the day, you
add one letter, or change one and make a new word, pratfall
being one last week I believe.
At the time I did not understand that it was only ONE letter
and was changing more than one letter. You kindly let me know
by going back to the origins of the thread to see how the
person who started it only changed one letter, and seeing
that I complied.

Now I ask you, is it possible for you to go back to the origins
of this thread and see how it started? Did it embolden
the word to be 'worked on'? Did it contain poetry, German
phrases, Nietzche, Shakespeare, et. al. I am just wondering
and would greatly appreciate knowing.

I don't know how to get back there or I'd do it. What did
the originators intend? Or perhaps you can tell me how to
do it and I'll do it. I greatly appreciate your help, you've
done so in the past and I'll need it in the future. I've
only been using computers since '08, and will never be
really literal in its use. My life does not contain the years
needed.

When they started, they all were well-defined and rigidly rule-bound. At time goes by (measured in month-to-years!) they've gotten more relaxed, sometimes because we didn't have anywhere to go without overlooking some of the rules, sometimes because we didn't want to be to too pedantic and self-righteous, sometimes because we were full of good cheer and tolerance, sometimes because we were just too tired to protest. Mostly it's been in the spirit of indulgence with the recognition and acknowledgment that we were breaking the rules, and overlooking it. We try to stick within them, most of the time.

Occasionally we arrive at a total dead end and have to start over. If it really bothers you to have rules available and to have people flout them, consider it a break in the continuity, and a starting-over.

As for the side comments, they are a little bit to show off how smart we are, and to share an insight, and to teach, and [quoting from my beloved Gilbert&Sullivan] to provide "corroborative detail, intended to lend artistic verissimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative..."

changing a c to an X and ignoring the second R in REDUCER?

then REDUXED, then EXUDED.

BREATHINGS
Posted By: jenny jenny Re: - - -gulps .. - 01/10/14 06:17 PM
Certainly Luke, you beat my posting without question.
Now if you will simply post a coherent sentence using the plural form of
"breathing" I will gladly concede to your fine term
"breathings".
Posted By: LukeJavan8 Re: - - -gulps .. - 01/10/14 06:27 PM
I don't think it is a matter of 'conceding'. No one challenges
anyone on their postings and words until now. It is not part of the "roolz".
If you desire to start a thread where the word must
be used a sentence that is a valid sentence then you are
free to do so. Proving anything to you is not a priority of
mine, nor does is affect my use of this thread. And it appears
a bit arrogant to me on your part.

There have been many words in the past six weeks that I cannot
find in any of my printed or online dictionaries.
But to keep you happy:



A huge cloud was mounting up the sky, and there were distant breathings of thunder.
Huxley, Aldous

The hearts of many throb at the very breathings of wealth through a flute, who would remain callous to the bitterest sighs of poverty.
Cooper, James Fenimore

Why not try, remembering, of course, to continue the same breathings, "I am Andrew Carnegie?"
Crothers, Samuel McChord

Her knowledge of divine things rapidly increased, and her earnest devotions seemed now to be the perpetual breathings of her soul.

Wind there was none; for she vacillating and uncertain air which, from time to time, distended for an instant the lighter canvas of the vessel, deserved to be merely termed the breathings of a morning, which was breaking upon the main, soft, mild, and seemingly so bland as to impart to the ocean the placid character of a sleeping lake.

But I do want to say this is the third time you've
ignored my post since early December. You asked me to
retype the word being challenged, and I complied, tho'
it was never done until you suggested it. Now I ask you

I logged in a couple of times; first, seemed normal except for a couple of crazy posts (from xyz...123etc???) about Oakley gibberish. Later, tho', there were about a hundred posts between the links for Wordplay & Anagrams IX ... seemed to be the same subject but without reference to the sender (the x-y-z #'s from China that I'd seen earlier)... so, paging thru them to try to find Ana/IX took forever ...

Seems as if it's back to normal now, so let's hope it stays that way ...Thanks, Luke!
