I'm really worried for my old friends in NJ, with that awul storm looming
hello everyone -- looks tough
hi nan -- I thinks so
Hope all our babblers on the east coast are safe xoxo
yes, all up and down the eastern seaboard, and far inland, I think -- it's going to be a doozy
hey nan!
down to 44 here but still working on NBT
my friends have been busy preparing for it -- just heard from them earlier
which letters do you need <stid
Jill, my NJ friend was looking for a game of bridge but I don't know where he is in NJ
Of course I feel for everyont there too -- lots of babblers
the U, grannie -- assume it's fishy, but pretty tired
We got water, batteries, milk, bread, and our outdoor grill if/when the power goes.
I don't think my old pals play bridge.
wee wee Stid...lol
hi marais -- good luck to you
Thank you.
sounds like you're ready, marais -- I know you-all still have lots of leaves on your trees, which makes even a moderate storm more hazardous.
*gasp* thanks grannie...
that's NBT for me! LOL
may I have stats for middle I please?
nm, just got it
in 7, flos
wtg stid -- I still need the N in the 2nd column and hte I on the right
oh, thanks diz, that's anothe rone
The tsunami warning has just been updated, jill, to extend south to the BC/Washington border. I think it's an advisory there. Hoping it is not too high.
oh -- needed that middle I too (looking)
can help with those if you like, jill
wow, helens, I didn't hear anything about it!
oh, good to know helensgirl... we're okay, but I hope people get the warning!
help in the form of clues would be very welcome, stid (or anyone)
sorry I'm late to parties today...
ni 4/5 for the N, babblet
hi pav
hey pav!
ni 4:5
stats for the u, please?
how big was the quake jilli? I didn't even hear about it
Nan wee wee for the U
my first word mi7
hey bugs! It is now said to have been 7.7 bugs
I looked up earthquake haida gwai and ther it was - the earthquake doesn't appear to have done much, but 7.7 was enough to trigger automatic tsunami warnings.
ty - didn't see that
I think you are enjoying giving that clue a little too much dizgrannie... *wicked mama grin*
bugs -- I didn't hear anything either -- it's just on the news now...
wow I must check that out!
LOL Stid
Keep safe all - back tomorrow.
see you soon helensgirl
wow! an or7 too
I can't believe people have finished this grid already.
I have CNN on -- they're concerned about Hawaii and the tsunami
nbt, nbs
I think only Mitchdick has fnished
hawaii is on tsunami alert as is the whole coast from alaska to washington
well done nan!
CBC is doing it live on radio
hi saan
hey saanich ((hugs)) nice to see you tonight
how's the remodel downstairs coming along?
Hi all - wow - the weather in the USA / Canada sounds pretty rugged! Hope everyone keeps safe.
hi Liz
hey Jilli, how are you keeping these days? One thing after another an I hope the jinx is broken.
is it too early to buy ocean front property in Western and Eastern AZ? I'll have to call my niece and make sure she's ok in CT
so now I just need the middle I and the right side I
we'll "weather" it, lizlin... at least the east coast is getting a lot of solid warnings. They are evacuating low-lying areas in many states already
Better safe ..., as they say.
Hello stidi! I am keeping warm around my neck with a handmade silk scarf.
right side i was peculiar, I thought -- want another assist?
LOL saanich!
Jilli ir 4
I am keeping warm with a heating pad over the back of my chair...
Thanks, saasn -- I hope so too. My nose is improving gradually, and the digestive troubles are pretty much over. I just hope the pathology report will be lear.
don't know how many times I've tried pidgin
thanks diz!
have you been ill jill?
stuck at 36 it seems.
Jilli why don't I come over for tea some stormy day?
ty diz -- now I just need the middle I
stid -- I had surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma on my nose, needing a skin graft. See profile.
ir 5/14 jill -- gerund
orgied is so a word.
in 7, Jilli
*blush* is it really, saanich?
tyvm stid -- nbt
I also tried orgied!!!!!
go jill go!
saan -- that's a good idea -- email me
stid, an ernormous number of racy puns come to mind but this is a family chat area. !
lol - tried that too, sannich
my computer only lets me play Babble and is set to get fixed on Tuesday. I sure wish I cud check out the quake on line. So far no injuries
:-D usually, saanich...
that was a blip...saying I had less than a minute left for the game
I am glad you are getting it fixed, bugs... and gladder still you can still babble!
naughty computer, bugs -- howcum?
yes, tes stid you are right. Tsunami lifted
for Alaska
CNN said the tsunami was aimed right at Hawaii and most of the Pacific is not affected
so you-all are likely safe too, you're closer in than alaska!
I have all the S words now...
34
I don't know what happened Jilli. I tried to open the musical instrument thing you sent me and the whole thing froze up. Ever since it has been getting slower and slower and things freeze all the time
leaving the last 35 for tomorrow -- good night everyone :)
sweet dreams nan
Good night Cybernan
oh dear, bugs -- sorry I caused it!
I think the whole area will be lifted - it was one of the earthquakes types that doesn't cause tsunamis
How old is your computer, bugs?
I am not sure you did. It was getting weird off and on before that.
not old enough for me to get a new one, that's for sure!
I keep trying to make gerunds out of words with a G in them. Doesn't work.
Could you hae a virus, bugs?
gee I wonder why Jilli!
cud be. that is why the geeks are coming
glad you have geeks coming.
they are lovely geeks who come to your house
jilli? should I send you guys some mustard?
THIRTY!!!!
oh -- jill and bugs and flo -- put two pics up of the kiddo on my blog, homecoming dance tonight!
mustard? *confused mama look* what sort of mustard should accompany tsunamis?
you are doing well stid. I will check the blog when the geeks save the day
oh ... tsunamis.. I thought they said salamis
rofl ruru!
WHAT?! LOL
according to local news, the south central alaska tsunami today was about 12 inches
I was lucky today. My computer shut down overnight, unbidden. When I opened it I got a black DOS screen with white writing on it, and there was something about a power surge. I hit a key they suggested and another DOS "Restore" screen came up, and I had no clue what to do. So I phoned the place I got the computer from (they built it) not really expectoing to find anyone there on a Saturday morning, but bingo -- got a very helpful lady who walked me through the fix and all is well.
that is good news, jill -- nice to know some tech personnel are still around!
I'm glad I got the machine there --it cost a bit more but as they say on the business card -- "Computer Sales With Service".
jilli missed my joke
that sounds very weird too Jill. glad it worked
well, 28 seems like a good place to start. the caffeine pill has finally worn off! (((hugs))) so good to see you all. Hope your weather and substrates will be calm! *poof*
No I didn't ruru -- was just busy typing, lol!
gnight stid -- sleep well
oops, just discovered a word I have been using here. Off to the PB
nite stid
Bugs, it's possible that a Hydro "smart meter" was installed early this morning while I was alseep and cause the power surge. I'll have to check in the morning if it's not pouring rain again.
I have nbs and +1, but not NBT
it's a toughie, Pav
just got over halfway
and yesterday I literally fell asleep only to wake up hours later and everyone gone!
bugs -- thanks for your PB word ;-)
you are doing well Jill. (went back to look eh? ;))
yep
half way so I can go now. See you tomorrow if we are not all treading water. Be safe everyone
be safe bugs.. hope it's nothing
bfn bugs

good morning
what a tiny grid for a sunday!
{{rose}} are you still here?
is anybody here? we are having the worst storm I've ever experienced; it's like a hurricane but with snow instead of rain. And there are still roses!
Hi ruby
hello dianne
euro
whoops
Blizzard
there, too?
but it's only Oct!
there's not much accumulation because the ground was still warm, but what a mess!
the weather is crazy - tsunami warning for Hawaii and major storm for US east coast.
and those who deny global warming!!!!!
my icon ... blizzard 1966
this is really creepy; the leaves are pouring down into the snow
weather is very odd - it is early summer here and we have had weeks of rain and cold - still wearing jerseys !!??
hi urshy. It sounds like it's topsy-turvy all over
you are usually in lovely spring by now, no?
yes ruby more summer now but still quite chilly
yesterday, it dropped from 55F to about 25F
they predicted torrential rains and we got snow instead
dogs were terrified
shame poor dogs - at least they have a home which will let them stay inside and feel safe
it was the puppy's first storm (he's Italian)
do you get thunder and lightening with the snow ?
we've had that before, but, happily, not with this ugly storm

Hello everyone
do you think if I type sprig a third time it will finally take it???
hi lyn. hi mom
hi Mom
hello ((Lynxxx)) you are up late tonight
mom., i am behind on email, will catch up before long
signing off soon Mom
don't give it a thought. I would not have mentioned it except I wanted you to know to expect the package
i have been up several hours, need to go out and finish shopping and preparations.
it looks to be nasty for sure.
I heard that NYC has a high wind warning starting at 6 a.m. tomorrow and the casinos in Atlantic City have already shut down.
phantom: peignoir
casinos to be evacuated by 4. i am thinking of gathering up the reamiander of my leaves, did 6 bags yesterday. need to check gutters but my ladder is too short to do so without someone on the bottom.
wish we lived nearby, we could help
good luck to you all, I hope it does a hard right turn
awww, you are so sweet but everyone is scrambling to do the same, so i never judge my neighbors. one did take my bags of leaves to the compost station, that was a big help
does anyone have a clue for the 2nd he7/40. I've got the one that is the gerund of to inherit.
and off i go...seems i have found a new treat, wegman;s marantha rolls, that i must have. :0
that was so nice of them, TO
see clue @8.30 Sandie
take care, TO
((Hugs))
bye Owl
I need to drop an email off to Anniebrook, be right back.
bye everyone and stay safe. (((mom)))thanks
Thanks for that.
mom - yo did not by any chance send a generator?;)
no, I didn't wish I had though
lol ty and talk to you soon
we have high wind warnings and flood warning here.been raining hard since yesterday
we do have a small one, would be enough to keep the refrigerator running
we have underground wires so i am hopeful.
oh ((Ivesy))
wow ivey already?
ooh sorry, i am rushing. just stay safe.
yes.. cold too ,but would be a blizzard if it were snowing ahhh. life in western ny lol
I have this vision of Mom walking to the email box to drop off her email. : )
Hey kids, are we ready for Hurricane Sandy? Molly and Owl, you are in the zone.
and what a sight it would be, Molly. Hello
We're ready. Wish we weren't in the zone though.
I have a friend in Easton, MD, and of course many Babblers are in danger.
I have a sister in northeastern NJ that is ready to get slammed.
Hi everyone!...sorry to hear about the weather conditions.....where is MD?
I'm holding good thoughts for the Delaware and Maryland eastern shore towns. They have special places in my heart.
Maryland--east coast USA
Flask--read info on www.weather.com
Right next to Washington, DC, Flask.
Sorry for asking....being a foreigner, am not too familiar with them!...:)
Thanx Molly!
Flask, the same thing happens when UK-ers mention towns and areas. e.g. the Midlands
How about the Scottish Borders???....thats where I am.....
I look at a UK map A LOT since joining Babble 6 yrs ago.
I have to look at maps to get an idea of where people in other countries are too.
Good....it can be very interesting!
"Eastern part of the Southern Uplands"--haha
I recognise all the US towns and the States however the relative new use of 2 letters (postal address?) for the States confuses me
Yes....definitely me too.....
Yes, lynxxx, I shouldn't have typed MD
NP Scrabbler just hard for us outsiders
Am definitely in the East, Scrabbler.....a town named Jedburgh....can u see it?
I have looked at a map of Australia many times since joining here.
The abbreviations must not be familiar in other countries. We have been using them here since 1963.
I see it, Flask! Near 2 parks--Northumberland and Kielder--those are places I would go to
but not in speech (books/film/TV) or for example on maps - so, unless you live in the States, the abbreviations would rarely be referred to.
Morning All
hi Hego
<---right in the storm path......
*Passes Hego some candles and batteries*
hi all - anyone got a list
take care Hego
Broll's list is in my profile.
Hi Hego and Kazzer
hi Kazz
Well Hego, at least Christie is not vacationing through this one. : D
a couple of miles from the sea, so I won't have to evacuate.
True Molls. lol
Thanks Molly
I love Chris Christie--he doesn't mince words.
Nice to see you here Kazz.
You only evacuate if there is likelihood of flooding?
Hego, my NJ sister is preparing too.
Hi Scrabs, how's your headache?
where does she live Scrabs?
Finally gone--it was a whopper yesterday for several hrs.
good news
Bergen County, 1/4 mile from New York state. She is in Montvale and has a brook in her back yard. She got flooded with Hurricane Irene 14 mo ago and spent $15K to get the brook fortified this past summer. This storm is a big test.
but it's lucky she did that.
The brook heads into the Passaic River, if I recall.
Am back....sorry Scrabbler, was't ignoring you....my carer just handed me a big bowl of Porridge....so I had to eat it while it was hot.....oooh yummy it was too....
I grew up near the passaic river.
yes..we are only about 30 miles from Keilder Dam!
Yummy, Flask.
Hi Flask
I am annoyed that I dont have enough time to pop in more often now. I am having to leave home at 0545 and dont get back to home until 1840 so i dont have much time
Hey Hego....
Hego, my sister's husband will be out of town this week, so it is her and 5 bunnies to hold down the fort.
wow! kazz, that's quite a day.
That is a LONG day, Kazzer. Is it a long commute that causes the long day?
Now I have heard of the Passiac River..but where is it?
My husband just got back and I'm so glad he's here.
Bunnies are not much help in an emergency.
In New Jersey Flask.
*Imagines bunnies boarding up windows*
Quick! I have to leave for church! Stats for the o?
or6/24
Hi Car, just started
Pray for us sinners
between the hurricane out east and the earthquakes and possible tsunami out northwest, I'm pretty content here in boring old tornado lane in the midwest, I must say.
lol Molly
NM! Found them!! 2 Darwin words
I have to talk with our New Zealand Babblers regarding my friend visiting there in Feb. She wants advice about where to stay and visit.
Glad you're getting a break rbud.
Will do Molly!
not really - I have to be dropped off at a place about 25 miles from home to get a lift into work and then I get dropped off at the same place but hubby is usually waiting to pick me up
Car bursts in, pulls a Peri and runs off to church.
must send a message to my west coast friends. brb.
can someone help with the center i for nbt? just not seeing it.
Dear West Coast friends, Please send a plane ticket. Make sure it's for before noon on Monday. Love ya, Hego.

Haha. Well, Mayor Doofus Bloomberg is rambling on the Weather Channel again.
the storm won't come up your way will it scrab?
We are in the red zone--will get high winds and flooding in our area.
welp, better go get some supplies to dig in for the storm :)
later babblers
And power outages will likely occur due to falling trees.
sorry on daddy duty this morning while mrs2bit runs a few last-minute errands. we are prepped and ready for Sandy
my friends on Long Island are preparing for days of outages
http://tinyurl.com/8ncslju miss2bit's kitty costume
Morning all...sheesh what a weekend for babbleland...earthquakes...storms..han\ng on all!
TOO cute, Dan. What has she been saying about Halloween? It is an odd holiday, for sure.
Yep, scary days, Jill.
Halloween is big at our house, so she's been VERY excited about being a kitty. We went to the town Day of the Dead parade yesterday and "Boo at the Zoo" last night
so if actual T&T gets washed out, we've still had great fun
did you go as Jerry Garcia or Phil Lesh Dan?
oh.. wrong Dead
hehehe
Haha
http://tinyurl.com/9k862ma we have a ton of south american expat neighbors near us, so the Annandale parade has lots of Bolivian & Peruvian dancing groups
miss2bit got a "boot bell" from one of the dancers, because she was shaking her tail along on the sidewalk
boot or bootie?
all the men and some of the women had gaucho boots with 6-10 bells on each boot
i guess this guy had one fall off - we were near the end of the parade route, so he just handed it to her - she was over the moon!
Beautiful costumes
nbt and nbs....but is there a list somewhere?

Hi BR

35 for later. My eyes and brain need a break. Time to shop for Mom and take her out to eat.
See you later then scrabs!
Broll's list in my profile.
2Bit has obviously not seen Chris Rock's information to fathers. It's a father's job to keep his daughter off the pole, and from shaking her tail on the sidewalk. : P
just got back from the grocery store, chee, you'd think it was the end of the world
it's my regular trip but because of the frankenstorm, people are stockpiling
Where are you shirl?
brooklyn
stats for the first i please?
Anyone have a clue for do7/36 please?
Ahh....well, sort of glad people are taking it seriously, just hope it's not as bad as they predict.
i guess it's me thinking, what, you don't have supplies to last 2 - 3 days usually?
do7=d+not mine but ***s = the little eng*** that could
Most people sadly don't shirl...
perfect clue jilly
I am usually not a great cluer, so thank you milfan!
help with the in for stats in the upper left hand corner please?
rather like every year, with blizzards, they have the same clip of people buying shovels -- it's a shovel, it doesn't go "bad" so how many do you need?
great clue, thank you Jilly
Well, that is a good point shirl, same here...how many new arrivals can there be?
yvw bilton
The biggest problems will be power outages and flooding. Having a lot of water on hand is a must. Problems could last much longer than just two or three days
*biltong
stats for the 5th column i please?
it's a "storm" day for me tho, no subways, can't go into work. hope there's no power outages
I have only two i's - in5/12 and in7/32

Hi ursh, I've been around but don't chat much, just lurk :)

we'll see -- they say it cold start this afternoon or evening, we're expecting worst on Tuesday.
not really good at this, but try in5/12 or in6/27
in5/12 sounds like the famous 500 car race, perhaps?
an in5 record label
thank yiou biit
I need help on the ro 6/24 please
i heard the temps are going to be in the 40s in va after this storm hits?
i have nbt ty all for the help
Alexandria, VA is passing out sandbags today with the goal of having them in place by mid-day tomorrow.
WOW
WTOP is saying cooler during, a touch warmer after it passes. it's cool today for sure. Not cold, but crisp.
With hi tide hope everyone does stay ok dc..my cousin was looking at homes in that area, but unsure if she is still in upstate NY or not...guess I had better check FB...
now crips fall day huh?
crisp lol olops
Yup..she's in Alexandria...dang...
Tidewater, VA, and Norfolk especially, are at very high risk from rising oceans. The high point in the city has flooded last several major storms. The high point -- a 30-foot hill -- had never flooded before i think it was last year or two.
Was hoping that wasn't a gang reference mlfan!
only the strip of Old Town Alexandria about 3 blocks from the river are at risk.
kama sorry i dont have it either
i only have an ro4.5
dc i had no idea geez not good at all
just got it a fancy car guy
Old Town floods often, as often as lower Georgetown.
guys
Thanks DC...did NOT need to know that...LOL..but I think ODU on higher point?
The locsal council are spending about a million billion £'s sucking up shingle with a dredger and throwing it up the beach and then building a fancy sea wall - the last time we flooded was 1972!!
and, FW!
does anyone have a list?
glad you did kama i am still wondering lol
there is no higher point, JJ, Norfolk is very flat -- it's on the coastal plain along with Virginia Beach.
Broll's list is in my profile.
congrats, kamanjah :)
dc yes it is
shirlock lickety put it up i beleive?
Now momma is worried... :-(
ty for ro6
Lickety is not current today.
JJ, Tidewater has HUGE evacutaion routes, and i know many people who went to ODU without danger.
Neil often posts to babanon with a list.
molly oh sorry i didnt know
what are the stats for the z's?
Thanks dc, I do tend to fret, hence the boys wanting me to not watch TV...then again...they COULD text momma now and then!

Just two, ze4/9 and pl

4th column O i haveOR 6/7 what is the other one please?

Only in a Babble grid Nan.
Molly, do you have rain yet?
No Bich. It's cloudy and the sky is greyish green, just like it was before Isobel hit.
I'm wondering if the storm will disrupt the election in the affected states?
No rain, but the wind is picking up
It shouldn't, nan -- formal voting is a week from this coming Tuesday.
but if there is a lot of flooding?
Hopefully, the election won't be affected. My biggest hope is that the utilities can bring back the power more quickly than last year.
I don't know if extended power outages will have an impact on polling places or not. Time will tell.
good heavens -- heard on TV that they are predicting the worst storm in 70 years
And more quickly than in June.
It better be more quickly than June. No one was ready for that. EVERYONE should be ready for this.
well -- good luck to all of you -- stay safe and keep us posted if you can. ((( hugs)))
bye everyone :)
We didn't have a June event, fortunately. But we did have the Oct/Halloween snowstorm
Bye Cyber. Thank you!
be well, nan

Hi Jilly
Okay, in cruising the news, ran across an article about a reported real military counter terroism summit exercise---scenario is a village surrounded by zombies...really people, really?? Is it April 1st?
here it is... http://tinyurl.com/9nft8px
No, just Halloween.
wow Jilly, not April 1st, but is close to Halloween
And you know, if you done seen it on the internet, it's gotta be true. Boy howdy!
Well, this is on our cable service's post, not some random site....
just checked it out Jilly, hilarious, glad they can train and have some fun with it :)
So I cannot arrive at the airport Thursday in zombi attire to fly to Hawaii? Dang it....
lol....jilly....Homeland Security - Zombie alert!!
I would love to see the look on the TSA agents faces if you did.
Ahhh, probably wouldn't look much different than I do when I get up in the morning

#1 son just vchecked in...ODU has now shut down the shuttle service due to impassable roads....
is he home safe I hope?
School systems have already announced closings for tomorrow around here and we aren't supposed to get big effects until Tuesday.
He is safe in the dorms, 3rd floor...thankfully now complying with my request to check in now and then...
#2 son in MA is working today, but he lives with a family we know, so not as worried about him.
Yeah, Fairfax County Schools are closed tomorrow and Tuesday.
Most of them are closed tomorrow. Montgomery just announced shut downs for Monday and Tuesday as well.
I heard NYC subway and buses are not running starting this evening until the storm passes
they said evacutation of lower Manhattan - schools closing so they could be used as shelters for the evacuees
DC, tried to get your attention awhile back. Made a soup yesterday you would like...
evac in place or just in case....
ordered evac for lower areas of Manhattan and parts of Queens
any lists today/
Most of the coastal areas from North Carolina north are under mandatory evacuation.
Broll's list in my profile.
also ordered Atlantic City casinos close today
That I knew about..
oh, do tell about the soup, JJ (i've been in and out what with cooking)
Is it still expected to hit Tuesday or has that changed?

As ready as we can be. thanks
Mr Bugs is currently watching CNN at top volume. The cats and I are huddled in the office Babbling and snuggling
tell him hi from us.
I will do that. He is getting quite concerned for the easterners
I'll keep you posted.
Every time I see the weather map, I get the urge to duck.
Sorry DC, I got pulled away as well. I needed to finish up some broccoli and cauliflower. I chopped them up fine along with a large onion. Sauteed onion and garlic and vegies in olive oil, then added one qt chicken stock. Cook till vegies soft, added curry, cumin, red pepper, fresh gr pepper. Put in crock pot for rest of afternoon. When I got home, pureed soup, added 1/2 cup 1/2&1/2 and 2 cups grated sh cheddar....yummy!!
Hego are you planning to go to the Babble meetup ?
sounds good Jilly
Yes Bugs, I am going!
How great is that! Please pass on our greetings from the west and post lots of pictures.
I will do that.
We are just meeting for lunch and will not have a weekend like you creative west coast folks.

, we're having a meetup on Saturday, November 10th at noon in Wilmington, Delaware. Place: Riverfront Market, 3 South Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. Please feel free to send a direct message to me if you would like more information!
ok thanks for that...my medical terms are not up to date
I hope you can come. we are psyched!
ok, will do
I hope the place is still there next week.
Great!
Seaspray, are you on the Babble Community page?
Oh my, I hope so too...My Dad is not doing well and I know he will worry himself over this storm
Hego, I truly love you for spelling "psyched" the correct way. I am so sick of "siced".
Where is your Dad, Sea?
I agree molly, some jargon should be disallowed!
And is Molly coming?
I can't make it. I have a birthday event for my daughter in law that day. : (
He is about 20 minutes from me but he has a farm with cattle that he does not reside at and he worries about things there
I am sorry about that. I would pay to meet you. lol
Well, here's hoping that your Dad's farm weathers the storm well, Sea.
I hope so too Molly, my husband and son have been securing fencing, roofing, etc. all day Thanks :)
best wishes for Sea's dad.
I truly hope this storm is not as bad as they (or the weather satellite) thinks....
thank you all...I don't think I am on the babble community page...how do I go about that?
do I search for babble community?
crossy can tell you. message him. he's the administrator.
yes you can search that. it might work.
I found babble.com is that it?
In honor of Sandy coming in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5lQsL\neVYtI

Bye jill
Anyone who is on Facebook can find Babble Community. Just do a search for it.
Back for a second...I found it and sent a request to join..
good
The clouds have gotten thick -- the planes ar much louder than usual, the birds are silent and the squirrels ran up trees to nests en masse about an hour and a half ago. Kind of spooky.
pein
Anybody has the list of clues?
and plural, christini
Broll's list in my profile.
oh my gosh, all i ever do is lurk, how did my cursor get in the chat box! So sorry.
all good :)
another lurker exposed. : 0
Thanks Molly
No silent birds here. They are all singing away.
Kenny, look in Molly's profile.
Rain is starting in Arlington, VA according to friends.
been raining on and off here Seain.
apparently the storm's a bit further East than initially anticipated.
Weather forecasters everywhere scramble to update their models. : )
: D
stats for the n please?
ni 4/5 ni 4/4 ni 4/5
thanks, dc
no blank tiles now :)
Thick clouds? When will they ever learn?
Back, dinner ready to put in the oven in 30 minutes...I can babble til then :)
evening all
Sandy now covers 900 miles instead of 800...ughhh
Hello, sprite
hey BabbleRabble, good to see you :)
((((sprite)))) hey all!
good morning all
Taking a short break from writing an essay... I had forgotten how much work it is! LOL
stiddie :) *hug* Hi lyn :) xxx
morning, lynxxx!
Hello, stid and lyn
interesting icon -- and comment, BR ((hugs)) nice to see you today
Essays were my favorite type of exam format
sea, are you also in the path of "Sandy"?
Maryland stid, lots of wind and rain predicted
This is one I am developing "just for fun" BR -- putting down some of my musings on learning theory so I can exam them better. If I like it I might go ahead and do current research and see what others are writing about, too.
Just got a costal flood warning and a high wind advisory for my part of Virginia.Leading edge of wind is just getting here.
oh, yes. My friend in Newport News says she thinks the schools will be closed tomorrow even if the power stays on so many roads are expected to flood.
batten down dc
writing essays is fun.
Writing helps to focus thoughts.
they have closed school here already
schools here are closed tomorrow and tuesday already.
I am not surprised, seain and sea -- better to be safe for sure.
They use the schools as shelters
oh, of course, that makes sense, too.
same here -- schools as shelters.
hi folks. has anyone heard from anniebrook? i understand parts of brooklyn have already been evacuated
hi welki
I saw that this morning on the news, welki -- and they have or are about to close the subways I think.
parts of brooklyn, manhattan, and queens were evacuated, and public transit in NYC area is shutting down at 7PM tonight.
Annie usually goes to her daughter's place in conditions like this.
that is good, molly, hello
Public transit in DC area is open tomorrow unless sustained winds of 50 MPH occur.
and I am down to 12, and ready to write again. see you-all again soon! *poof*

Good evening Babblers
Hello wht! How are you? Battened down?
hi wht
Battened down and waiting. There has been light rain since about noon.
They have already closed schools here in suburban Boston for tomorrow.
whew.. I thought you said Battered down
We all are praying for our east coast babblers
Battered comes later.
I was praying for pancakes
hello ruru
and did you get pancakes?
yay pancackes :)
no.. but I"ve been craving them
I crave LOTs of things....still trying to drop a few before we head to Hawaii... *sigh*
When our kids were little we had a book called "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs" about the land of Chewandswallow where food fell from the sky.
I remember that one with mine!!
A biblical spinoff?
That and *shudders* Good Night Moon....
Not a Biblical spinoff, just good silly fun.
Jilly, you have a problem with the great green room?
Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’â€
LOL...no, actually a great book, but not on the millionth reading..seriously, millionth!
I could just about recite it myself, back in the day.
Yes, but in the book wht mentioned, you didn't have to scrape it off rocks, unlike the manna...
One day it came down as pancakes as big as a roof.
LOL....ruru would be so happy!
scrape off rocks? nah
I think every parent has a book they can recite from memory. Mine is Dr. Seuss's ABC's. : D
And crossy would be happy when it rained bacon.
I used to be able to recite frog and toad.
<--Loves the Frog and Toad books
i hope to recite those too before i croak
Pish, you were just hopping to be included in this conversation. : P
I think I have most of the Dr Suess books in my memory bank....
I'm about 80% on The Cat In The Hat from my own childhood.
Well, he did say that everything we needed to know we learned in kindergarten!
Funny Molly, we had a garbage truck book we read over and over to the kids. We still quote from it.
in 6/27?
wowee, i don't have to go to work tomorrow
warts wrong with joining the conversation
How come hurshy?
hurrycane
Hurshy, has Sandy already gotten to England?
hurshy, everything's closed down your way
lol, i don't think it's going to england - but i'm only actually in NEW england.
Native Americans: in**ans, used smoke si**als to communitcate
ty BR
in6=car race ***y 500 + s*** s***, everywhere a ***n
much better clue babblerabble
Why, Hursh is a Brit wannabe.
Hello, hursh. Are Wesley and Hannah safe?
LOL....ok, now you're found out hurshy!!
i have no reason to think they are not
it's not much of a secret, it explains in my profile that i'm not really british!
What, me read a profile??!! Guess I will from now on...LOL
OK. I know that Sandy is large, but that would have been rediculous.
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
Hey Min
By the way,congratulations to all the finishersHooray
now that i have an unexpected day off, i feel like doing something wild & crazy this evening
which on the hurshy scale means maybe making some pretzels.
Look out Connecticut, Hursh is going wild.
yummy...pretzels...sigh..anything with bread sounds wonderful!!
Hello minv!! How are you holding up in NY?
Are classes cancelled too, hurshy?
yes, everything but like food and medical stuff
Does Marty have the day off?
they've never done this before in my experience - they usually make you take a sick day if you feel that you can't safely come in because of the weather
no, marty has to eat every day
Thinking about our East Coast American friends tonight. Hope the satorm blows itself out soon
Hello Jillyjill.I am experiencing the calm before the storm.
Molly I bet you're excited about Dr. Whale aka Frankenstein :P I read an article that the writers said the show was not only limited to fairy tales but all stories. thats why the towns called storybrooke.. and it was the fans that assumed it was limited to fairy tales
4th row done!
1476 hurshy
lol i am not close
the fourth row only has 7 words :)
Glad you are OK minv...is your school shut down for tomorrow?
Yes,I phone call this afternoon saying saying "no work"
Well Cos, it was widely touted as a show about fairy tale characters. I think the writers have taken big liberties.
Thanks, Deeha, for thinking about the East-coasters.
And if you think about it, there was nothing in Henry's book about Frankenstein or any other such characters.
They said they would probably do an episode about Oz. The book had flying monkeys they said. Need to watch that episode again/
I've never seen any flying monkeys in Henry's book.
Thats what I thought too. I dont like the idea of Frankenstein but at least it looks to be a Regina show. I love these ones the best.
Off for dinner. Hope to be back later to finish.
Goodbye wht! I will see you later on in the chog maybe.
see you later wht
Min, I love Annie Potts. : )
I like her too. She was funny in Ghostbuster and Pretty in Pink. I cannot believe that she is 60 years old already!
She was also one of the Designing Women, all of whom I just love.
Hi all. Hatches all battened down in the East Coast?
I forgot about that show. I never watched that show. I thought Dixie Carter was annoying so I did not watch it.
Hello Soodle! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
Aye Cap'n. Braced for the worst, hoping for the best.
Hi Min :-). Thanks.
I fear I will not be able to Babble for the next few days.\
I like Annie Pots and Mary Steenbergen, both highly underated actresses!
I agree about both, Jilly.
Hello soodle...I just missed you the other day during your patriotic gesture for visitors to Ireland...
Thats all you can do Molls! Have the weathermen revised their forecasts, or is it still high alert?
Hello babblers!
I sort of think, molly, that since they are not beauty queens, they got lost in the shuffle...
Hi origami, haven't been on with you in a while...how are you?
Hi Jilly ... I'm good. Been busy on the house -- painting and redoing floors. How are you?
It's massive panic, Def Con 4, kiss your ass goodbye alert.
Hi Jilly. Invitation is open to all Babblers. One condition, though, ingredients for S'Mores must accompany all visitors!!
Hello origami! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
E's expelled! 9 left
Hi Min. Small grid today ... taking a break from painting outside. It's 80 degrees here!!
Jeepers. Sword of Damacles-ville!
Well, I will bring smores AND a party piece!! How's that?
LOL, it's 49 here origami, but we are heading for warmer places the middle of next week!
Where you going Jilly?
Hawaii!!
Word of warning Soodle. Her party piece is pole dancing.
I too am heading to a cooler place -- Purdue for a conference this week.
Putting out the Welcome Mat for Jilly as I type...
Not so Molly lies....teehee
Ooooh .. Hawaii!
That will be a change origami...hope it's not a boring conference..
Hmmmm. Replacing welcome mat with welcome pole.....
Hi again, got about 20 min til dinner
I don't need no stinking pole....
Hello again smores
Isn't Soodle clever? She can type and put out a welcome mat/pole at the same time. Probably while dancing a jig too.
It probably will be boring ... maybe there will be a lot of alcohol to take off the edge :p
May I ask your profession origami?
I'm female. I multi task! :-p
I work for the Univ of Ca division of agriculture in business and operations management.
Darn tooting soodle!
Hey Smores & Origami. :-)
Ha Soodle! I once hired a young man who answered a question about conflicting priorities with "I can multi-task like a woman!"
Well, we sort of have something in common, my father was a professor in agricultlure at Cal Poly SLO...
Hello smores! How are you? Welcome back to the chog
I'm glad you hired him Origami. An answer like that was awesome!
I love working for UCANR ... boots on the ground academics and a lot of people who work very hard
doing well min, thanks
What's for dinner smores?
baked chicken quarters, fresh green beans and baked potatoes
YUMMMMMMMM!!
Wow, everyone is taking this storm seriously. As The Goo Goo Dolls would say "Broadway's Dark Tonight".
Chez Soodle served up a rather nice roast beef, yorkshire pudding, roasted mediteranean veg & roast potatoes this evening.
fresh veggies season coming to an end - very sad :(
mmmmmm soodle...now I wish I had raosted the potatoes
<---Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli and French bread.
And, I roasted them in Fry-light, which made them relatively healthy!
We get fresh vegetables all year long, thank God. I can't stand frozen or canned.
just came back from our favorite Indian buffet - special Diwali celebration
<----loves pork tenderloin
I think I am going to visit all of you and eat with you!!
glad dinners almost ready, chat is making me hungry :)
Word to the wise, roasting in olive oil is pretty healthy and it doesn't have all the chemicals that spray fry products have.
Crackling with the pork, Molls?
I have four growing seasos here ... I'll have turnips, beets, carrots, lettuce, chard, kale and broccoli from my garden all winter :-)
I have about 10 onions, 4 carrots and 10 tomatoes left from my garden. If I win the lottery, I'm putting up a real greenhouse that I can grow things in ALL year...
We can get some fresh year round Molly, but unfortunately not Farmers Market quality
A greenhouse is on the property of my dream house, by the lake.
Well, we are meeting friends at a local pizza place, heading out to get ready.. *poof*
that would be wonderful Jilly
mine too Molly :)
Fry-light contains, and I quote, 'no artifical preservatives &no propellant gases'.
enjoy Jilly, hagn
teehee, chickens gonna be done and I haven't found a single word
Ah!! Pizza!! (drool). Enjoy Jilly
Lol Smores!!
All going well, this time next week myself and my Mom will be in Lanzarote.
clue for the in7/32 please
Well lah-dee-dah Ms. Island vacationer.
Some men are in7ed to greatness.
chickens done - be back soon :)
Enjoy your dinner Smores!
Hmmmm. Thanks Molly. (I think).
I am always amazed at how much traveling is done by the people who play this game. And to such lavish places.
thanks, Molly.
Back in another lifetime, I used to do a lot of travelling. By the time my youngest daughter was 5, she had visited 4 continents!!
Well,you pay for a passport.... You may as well get your monies' worth!Lol
< Chog killer. Mae Culpa.
Why does one assume they have killed the chat when only five minutes have gone by?
How are you celebrating Halloween, Molly?
Hello rumplestiltskin! How are you doing? Welcome to chat
I have my own little Pagan rituals that are outside mainstream Halloween festivities. I also give out candy to the kids when they drop by, and decorate accordingly.
I will Google Hallowen Pagan rituals. I'd love to know more about them. And, of course, we here also must stock up on treats for the kids who will be cali
'calling'
just checking up on those in the storm vicinity -- all stocked up on water, food, lanterns/generator?
I guess New York has pretty much shut down by now
Hi cybernan! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.
Samhain marks the Druid New Year. Traditionally, all fires in the home are put out and people await fire from the new one lit at Tlachtga.
I did'nt know that Samhain (or,in English November) was the start of the Druid New Year. Interesting!
It is a good night to raise a glass and commune with your ancestors. Actually, you can commune with mine too since they probably walk the sod over there. : )
Molly, i will actively engage with whatever spirits care to visit me. (jesus..... Am I Ebeneezer Scrooge?). LOL
Share spirits with the spirits
Soodle, I sent you my favorite Samhain image.
Hello all, has anyone posted a list?
Broll's list is in my profile.
Awesome molls. Really breathtaking. Thank you.
Hello rolotom!How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
Thank you!
clue for the in7 pls-didn't understand the last clue withthe quote
hi again all
And, as its past midnight here, I must say goodnight. But, before I go, can I suggest that any poetry lovers have a read of The Wild Swans At Coole, by WB Yeats. The poem has been going round in my head for the last few weeks.
g'nite soodle
in + atop of a church steeple
haven't read that in many years, thanks for the reminder Soodle, it is a wonderful poem
ty-just couldn't see that one
are both he7s gerunds? if not, can i get a clue for the one that is not?
no but both extend from he4/5
Ah, I missed saying good night to Soodle. Yeats is my favorite poet and that poem really captures the season. The man had an abiding love of the Earth.
ah thanks smores
the second ends with tame: ***esticate
yw
Ooh I'm glad you enjoyed itSmores. I went walking in the woods today, and that poem came vividly back to me. I saw it re-enacted in fromt of my eyes. Awesome!
Indeed Molly, very appropriate read for this time of year
Oh, i'm still here Molly. So glad that other people appreciate Yeats.
I am dreaming of awakening and going to Innisfree, to live in a bee-loud glade.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
me 6/24?
Tread softly, for you tread upon my dreams
Poor William Butler, he had no idea how many men would clod hop all over the delicate dreams of women.
Greetings from Oakland CA.
Of clay and wattles made.
Maybe if more of them read Yeats, they would tread lightly
Kap, you picked such a great time to get the hell away from the east coast.
me6/24:not females plus I was ***ed to work at McDonald's
Shouching toward Bethlehem.
And my parting shot..... Cast a cold eye on life, on death. Horseman Pass by. Taken from Yeats's grave in Sligo.

Hello Kaplan the Magne! How are you?Welcome to chat log

i used to peel figs
Fluff the pillows on madame's roof top deck lounge and bring madame a Jack Daniels.

evening all
hi jes
Hello jesdraggon! How are you doing? Welcome to chat
hey jes :)
How's everybody's weekend?
damp but okay jes
I'm well jesdraggon. I have no work tomorrow which is a good thing. Keeping fingers crossed about my power
the panic around here is pretty funny. . .
panic is funny?
Finally D's are done and FW!!
when people are getting paniced about bottled water when they have perfectly good water taps at home. . . yes
Congratulations smores on your fireworks display!YAY
Well, jmc, all the emergency checklists say to stock up on water but they never mention that it is primarily an issue if you are on a well.
whoo hoo smores
I think I'm going to go to the liquor store tomorrow, just to see if anything is left.
d's done
Could someone tell me how many words today, please?
i know wht. . . and so few people in dc are on wells anymore . . .
105
There happens to be a perfectly good water tower wity enough water in it to last this part of town about 10 days even if they can't run the pumps to fill it.
the store i went to today (to buy croutons) was promoting sparking water
Thank you!
I know Wht, I have often wondered why they don't make that distinction. It's a rare event for a municipal area to be unable to provide water.
I am going to fill up my bathtub tonight.Have never done that before.I laugh at the panic too jmcnrick.Like people have never experienced a tremendous storm before.
Delightful jesdraggon!
Hi jes!
so far the only issue with water in dc was when the sewer overflow meant you needed to boil it
Although if the power is out it can be tricky to boil water unless you have a gas stove
Hi thesnark! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
Now we had a problem here with the water a year or two ago, but that was when they blew out the main aqueduct from the Quabbin Resevoir. And then it was because of bacteria in the water.
i have yet to be convinced that a storm with 60 mph wind surges is a major storm. . . maybe if i lived on the coast and had to worry about tidal surges. . . .
how goes the new job, uusue?
again you can boil water...wht
i suppose it would serve me right if it really is bad. . .
Especially since I have a gas stove.
It's keeping me busy, jes, and they are all so happy I am there it is rather refreshing
Hello Minveryork - thanks for the welcome. I'm not here much!
btw my halloween costume was an empty tp roll, an empty gallon jug marked water and an empty flash light
it's good to be appreciated :)
en6/21 clue please?
hi all. can i have a clue for the u word please?
I wonder how many people have hampers full of dirty clothes who have not given one thought to no electricity = no washing machine.
Hope everyone on the east coast are doing alright.
The thing that is most likely to cause us trouble is branches and trees taking down the power lines.
i don't think my oven will work because it has an electric thermostat but i am reasonably sure i can use the stove
pee mkg
Even a modern gas stove won't light without power, you will need matches
en 6/21:not beginning plus Lord of the ***gs jesdraggon
i am angry that everyting is closed. darn. i need to work tomorrow. and everything is closed already.
ty for u word. got it.
That ur 5/12 word is another word for pee mkg.
i have matches and candles and flash lights (including one that charges with a crank) but i didn't run out this week end to buy them
heh. we cook in the fireplace if the power goes out.
houw about the i word for the i under the u?
We have matches. I guess the thing to do is to take a shower as soon as the power goes out because the gas hot water heater won't work without electricity.
i think i will get some house cleaning done tomorrow
that won't help me wht because my hotwater heater is tankless (and some times thankless)
Just open the windows and let the dust blow out, jmc.
thanks for the en
My niece in NH has a wood stove, so she should be fine
yw

Heyas kids ..
Hi tor
hi torgie
Hello torgone! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat
my dalek greets your robot, tor!
It's a droid world after all.
I do not think there is a di4/5 need for my story,but I am going to write one anyway, so here it is. I'm in7/32d by so many skillfull and talented babblers here. I as5/12 to be just as talented as some of the babblers here.I'm so far behi4/6 in the ranks. Most people's ranks are pretty high,but not mi4/5.I don't think I will ever me4/6 my rank. I am such a di4/7bat when it comes to babbling. I think I need a Babble dr 4/8 that would enhance my mi4/6 and make me skillful at finding words. I hardly ever get any fireworks,but when I do,it puts a big gr4/6 on my face.I usually hi 4/6 from the chat log because I don't want to admit I don't understand the clues. The monkeys I hi 4/5 do not help much either. Hopefully,some day I will get a gr4/7 on the clues and I will be a better babbler. This is the en 6/27 of my story. I hope you have found mo 4/5 words in the gr 4/7 with this story. I am ir5/14 husband with my babbling. My hubby is making sn 5/12 remarks about Babble as usual.I gr4/6 at what he'll do if I do not give the laptop to him. He always ru 5/12 my babbling. I will get off my he 6/21 and watch "We5/20 Science".I'll be back tomorrow morning at about ni4/4 to begin again

YAY cos
Until last week - I'd've agreed but we discovered some quite nice places walking around!
do tell liz
nice, yes, but still boring? 8-)
i mean, Livonia Michigan has some nice places, but OMG still pretty boring! lol
Followed some walking routes around the city - spent the day photographing old (not by UK standards!!!) buildings against the new. Want to go back to botanic gardens next. Yes - still not my fav city!!!! i remember that Doctor Who quote but not who said it!!1

come come come out tonight
okay i am off to watch the end of the baseball game
*Pictures JMC on her roof top deck, giving the bird to the gale force winds*
65 and sunny tomorrow i feel left out
Shame you live so far away. You would be fun at a hurricane party.
id drink hurricanes1
Molly guess what I'm doing Thursday Nov 1
it's raining and windy with the outer bands here, and i'm sipping amaretto.
What Cos?
putting out my santa clauses :-D
Dammit. I should have guessed that. : D
Ryan says no tree til 2nd weekend though :(
According to the local weather guys, we are a ways from the fun stuff Seain.
indeed we are, Molly
the slow-moving storms are always 'exciting' that way.
when do the "fun" stuff begin?
Tomorrow afternoon into Tuesday morning.
with trailing bits into Wednesday
And the rule of thumb around here is, if it's usually open, it's closed, if it usually flies, it isn't and if it usually transports you on the ground, it won't.
yes, Metro went from regular service monday to closed in about 30 minutes. Even the Smithsonian is closed in DC and NYC at least Monday, likely Tuesday too.
just saw a pic of times square subway stop. so deserted
NYC public transit shut down at 7PM through at least Tuesday.
yeah i saw that. just the pic was we5 to see
indeed :D
So many people in city areas depend on mass transportation. That is a big problem for some.
i cant imagine what chicago would be like if the el's stopped so i can only think what its like in nyc
less than half of new yorkers have cars -- BIG issue there.
Those are the people who need to stock up for a storm like this. Me, I'm five minutes from the grocery store by car. Although they do get pretty depleted in storm times like this, so I do shop ahead.
i have a 7-11 50 feet away :P
Well, I hope it's a big gr4 next time. Because it could be thin around here the next few days after that.
ahh yes hmm
though i finished two days in a row :)
Big blessings out to all the first responders and medical personnel. It's likely to be a rough four or five days for them.
it's been nice finishing a few for a change.
yes and lets hope for minimal damage
governor of vermont asked everyone to take down their political yard signs to try to decrease the mess
that makes sense with the flooding and wind expected.
right. i thought it was good. forget politics - help lessen work for everyone
At this point, the political signs have done whatever job they were going to do anyway.
right.
indeed, Molly. And my goodness is the Maryland Senate race contested! The ads on WTOP -- just wow.
even the VA Senate seat is not that contested.
Ah, the Giants swept the Series. I'm not surprised.
really? cardin in a contested race? thuoght that was safe D
oh the world series was tonight?
yes, the Giants 4-3 in the 10th :D Sweep, baby!
Didn't it pre-empt Once, Cos?
yay go cubs!
no. once was on abc
Oh yay. I was sure that I had to wait until next week for my Sunday night shows.
but you knew that lol sorry. i think the game was on fox. ryan wanted to watch family guy but he said a game was on i assumed football
the once episode was pretty good.. made sense to me... i thought id be disappointed but. next week should eb good. its the beanstalk episode
Cos, are you still into 666?
Nah. Lost interest but have it on hulu queue just in case
too much like rosemary's baby but with a slow boring plot
I was drifting away, but last week's episode got me interested again. Revolution is another story. I don't think that is going to survive more than one season.
revolution ratings strong. ill watch lastt weeks episode of 666 though ty for heads up
i dont watch revolution i cant stand the girl
This "new season" is really pathetic. I don't think one new show will make it to next year.
the only one i havent lost interest in is "the neighbors" and that wont make it either
Okay, everything that needs doing is done. Have fun with the flippers Cos. : D
