Any idea what I should do?

Snowstorm trivia...There are 6,300 street miles in New York City to be plowed and salted -- that’s like going from NYC to LA and back.
wow!
so far doesnt look like our area will get it that bad. few schools surrounding us are closed.seem nyc and boston are in for the worst of it
That is what I heard too, Ivesy. And they are calling this storm Nemo. NEMO?
dont know how they came up with that!.will have to google it
all i can find is they decided to name winter storms now. guess they are bored
gm, everyone. stats for the lone A first column?
That is as good of an explanation as any, Ivesy.

Hello everyone :)
Hello
hi smores, hi BR
Hello, lb
It refuses to accept nowar no matter how many times I try it. Good evening all
Evening to ya lynxx :)
hi Smores
I like your word even if Enable doesn't :)
thats amazing - one third of Australians travelled overseas last year
Hiya Lynxxx! yeah, i tried it too
and 1/3 of Americans probably want to travel Australia :) ...self included
tadone!! finito!! fun grid, a bit twisty, but no unknown words.
WTG lbd !!! congrats :)
don't think we could handle a third of all Americans however - how many would that be?
Congrats Dawg!
lol...we don't have to all come at once
105 million plus
whew! was going to check the tent and sleeping bags supplies.
There are over 315,000,000 millions Americans. So a 1/3 would be just over 100 million.
:)
good grief!
lol...okay well how about just me :)
we'd sink
sure! come on down
:)
Hello, lyn, What distinguishes good grief from bad?
Compared to AUS with a bit over 22 million. A 1/3 of us would be a plague.
good grief = gobsmacked
Gobsmacked - gread word :)
Definately on my list lynxxx...hopefully someday :)
Idioms & Phrases good grief An exclamation expressing surprise, alarm, dismay, or some other, usually negative emotion. For example, Good grief! You're not going to start all over again , or Good grief! He's dropped the cake . The term is a euphemism for "good God."
I'll go for surprise, the first option
and of course I would never take the Lords name in vain ( hang on my tongue has got stuck in the side of my cheek)
also likes "gobsmacked" although I misread it as Godsmacked at 1st
hagd/n everyone, off to get ready for work.
by Dawg - have a good day

Queensland is recovering from floods yet again. The flooding is becoming even more serious down here. That'll be climate change for you. In our area the believe sea level rises of near 1 metre by 2100 will mean a third of the bayside suburb I live in will be under water - costly preventative measures to be taken. In Queensland and NSW they are talking about a retreat policy in many bayside areas...the real estate is not so valuable
hello
(Sorry, I am involved in local flooding group and so it is becoming a bit of an obsession with me)
hi MLFAN
hi lynxx
hi mlf!
Very serious. In the US, still arguing the premise. Last year was the ninth warmest on record?
hi car
what are the stats for the A on the first column?
please
an 4/4
ty car got it
I don't understand how people can doubt it...just look at the weather events around the world...more intense. Even if it doesn't get as bad as they are estimating, I think we all need to be aware and take whatever small measures we can...usually helps our own hip pockets anyway.
but, that would mean being logical ....
lol
stats for the 2nd A on the third column please?

Ah, I misread, thought it was off until 2:30 today
I knew she was still running on generators
you didn't misread, smores, I forgot to put that in.
I'm here. I was lurking because I am leaving soon. The power went back on at 3pm and I am going for a haircut soon. Thanks for caring.

Hello ... are you in blizzard territory?
In the periphery of the storm. We are supposed to get 6-12 inches.
Calling for 18-24 up my way - good morning everyone
Yep, you are close to the center, Riverdance. Yippee!
How is your cough, RD?
its somewhat better - she put me on a much stronger antibiotic and gave me 2 difference cough suppressants - one for day and one for night - it seems to be working and breaking up the congestion.
Have you had a chest x-ray?
no - the didnt feel it was necessary - said I did have a slight weeze but she did not hear any pneumonia
Have you used an albuterol inhaler through this?
wa5 please
I see her again in 2 weeks for my yearly physical so if this is not gone by then, she may consider further testing. Yes I do have a ProAir inhaler
No wa5 for me yet, but looking
I do already feel a differnce since starting the new med on Monday
I dont have it either
same here
just 20 needed, but struggling!!!
24 left here and yes I am stuck too
River, it's likely post-viral bronchial hyperreactivity, which means you'll get better no matter what meds you use or don't use.
Prolonged winter coughs are very frustrating for patients and their docs. Eventually you'll get better.
well I was feeling really lousy when I went on Monday and now I am noticably better so I have to think it is the med
I was coughing so bad my ribs hurt
this has also been a bad winter for me cough and rattle wise.have had to start using the aerochamber with the ventolin.the ole lungs are whistling like a flute this morning:(
Hi Crossy - sorry to hear you have the dreaded cough as well.
We heat with a wood stove at home so I am sure that is not helping much either. I did buy myself a small humidifier for my bedroom that I run at night.
ty river.the asthma is my pennance for 25 years of smoking(quit 2002)
The "100 day cough." Term used in old days.
am also coughing for nearly 3 weeks now
funny thing is that i did not have asthma when i quit
wa5= wa*+***ping cough

Please crossy.

yay mixi!
It's fascinating that what is the norm for Crossy is a big news story for New England.
I lived in New England for a while (college in western MA); I recall frequent large snowstorms. Perhaps things have changed in the past 40 years...
Two years ago we had mega snow. Last year barely a flake.
hi all, just rain here for now. 3 to 6 inches of snow predicted for overnight
Nothing has changed in New England. The media just has to sensationalize snow storms now. Such as by naming them. Oy.

Fireworks! :)
We had one my freshman year (1968-69) where the drifts were so deep we couldn't get out of the dorms (5 feet or more).
Yay mama!

Hello

Hello, Peri..sorry pushed wrong button..lol
bye for now. hope we do not get a lot of snow
Hi Zooz, peri, Molly
Finding a lot of gerund words.
en 6/18, pls
EN + woody part of plant under the soil.
ty Zooz
yw :-)
I wish I had 100 dollars for every time gerund or ing has been used in chat today.
Yes i am sure it is used most days in the chog.
Nope, only when there is an ing : D If there is an S in the grid then I wish for 100 dollars every time someone says "Add s to everything" or "plural everything".
Why not go for the big time? I'm greedy--I'll wish for 100 dollars for every vowel used in the chat. Now that husband is retired, I could use it ;-)
Jan, always two steps ahead. : )
Hello Babblers, how is Babbleonia today?
Of course, I'd promise to give a cut to Dr God...
I figured today there would also be a run on people saying "Woot is too a word".
And fireworks for me.
You won't hear that one from me! (Though I admit to wishing for dacron--probably still a proper noun)
Yay Zoom!
congrats Zooz!
Morning everyone
Congrats, zooz!
Hello, Lynxxx
Morning lynxxx
It's a regular vowel-a-thon today with lots of those 4 letter mainly-vowel so-called words.
perhaps that is my problem - thanks
Well Jan, that's what happens when half the grid is vowels. Whee!
Yup! (Too bad about Hawaii though)
lots of gerund!!
And hello all..
hi Jilly
Helo Jilly
Hi Jilly
Hello lynxx, jan and wht
<----nbt/nbs
I thought the sleep disorder was a phantom a while ago
WTG Jilly!
Me, too. It's the alternate spelling that catches out Americans.
tore\torn
british sleep disorder...got it ty!
back again, hello everyone :)
hi C'nan
hello cyber
Hi, Woodhood. Please don't put actual words in the chat box, people like to find them themselves.
Vowel-athon!!! I love it. :-) And hello everybody. :-)
hi Soodle
good evening all :)
Hi to Nan, Soodle, and wht
Hello Spritey!
(((soodle))!!
And of course greeting to sprite
((sprite))!!
hiya jan and lyn :)
Jjill :)
((((Hugs all round))))
hey Soodle :)
oh my, a lovely ending today!
It might be a lovely ending but I do not like word that start with vowels.
they are usually a bit harder to spot, indeed
It's funny the words and word types that I like and dislike. I like finding twisty-words like the ca/7
As long as they don;t start with K, I like 'm
For me, the evil letter is C.
Though K can give it a run for its money.
I wonder why paseo is OK but prado isn't?
evening everyone
must admit I am getting a bit better with K words. But still, seeing a K in a grid freezes my wordometer.
hi Katie :)
hello katie
Hi Katie
Hi Katie.
Oh, do not get started on Enable. I've wondered why it takes senor (Spanish) and senhor (portuguese) but not Herr (german).
hi Katie
I'm still as bad as ever with K words - they can ruin my day :)
Miso but not soba, naan but not paneer...
babble truism #7: there is no logic in Enable
For some reason, I like W words. No rhyme or reason.
you and me, Katie, you and me :)
Just watching the News. Another vile storm heading for the US east coast. Take care out there Babblers!
It seems to accept more spanish based words - I guess because of population mix in the US
please no. You guys got more than your portion already.
I know soodle, worried about my son and my adopted daughter...
think they're already getting it soodle -- 1" snow per hour at the moment
Though that doesn't explain senhor!
I felt better after we had shared Sprite, it's nice to know you are not on your own
so very true, Katie :)
I live outside Boston and it isn't snowing that hard yet, but it has been pretty windy all day and it is supposed to start snowing harder later this evening.
Yes, best wishes to all the Northeastern US Babblers.
Where outside of Boston, wht. i grew up in a number of towns outside Boston.
the news report I saw was out of New Jersey
Oh dear--New Jersey has already suffered enough this year!
*thinks people are crazy if they think global warming doesn't exist*
for the babble lexicon: cowarp: a very non-heroic person making off at the speed of light
Jan, the ca6 and ca7 were indeed twisty little words, almost alike.
Jan, my son is in Millville MA...
lol
LOL, nice word sprite!
;)
Hmmm....don't know that one. I once lived in Millis, MA, though.
Had a hard time with the ca7...my eyes are still spinning!
or coware ... bovine S & P shakers
It's near Worcester
lol nan, and hi
We are going to Worcester tomorrow but I suspect it is a different one
Ah, I mainly ived in easter and western MA.
Hello. Is the co6/27 a "normal" word, please?
LOL, that it is katie...south east of Boston
Well, we were overdue to get a big snowstorm. It's been about 2 years since we had one.
One of the things that my husband finds weird is the fact that British named towns in New England are scattered without reference to British geography.
south west of Birmingham here
hi Biltong, sorry, don't have it yet
I don't have it either
I'm supposed to be in Birmingham later this spring--at Aston University.
np, ty sprite and Katie
Jan, my theory is that the settlers had a list of about 300 town names. When the used up the list, they had to start a new colony.
lol wht
yahoo! ---- found the last w
As good a theory as any!
(I saw what you did, nan!)
I only work a 10 min walk from the university. Let me know if you get over and we could do lunch :)
Well, half way...bbl HAGD all!
co6 has dble vwl on end
Katie, good thing you are not going to Worcester, MA tomorrow. The roads might be a bit dicey.
bye Jill
Really! That would be fun! Ive never met any Babblefolk in person.
Bye Jilly!
lol wht we are expecting snow but 1" can grind us to a halt here
thanks lyn, that helped
bye Jjill, have a grand day
Neither have I unless I'm related to them so it would be lovely. My email address is in my profile.
Well they are still talking about one to two feet. That will slow things down a bit here.
think I need to resort to the list for the last 12
oops no it's not I will put it in now
I am butting in. but can you tell me if there is a town called Rotherham in the USA?
no shame in that, nan :)
hi mo
hi sprite
Katie, I will add to to my email list. You might want to remove it later, though. (I say this sadly.)
yeah, except there's a guy named mitch who finished it listless in under 15 minutes last night (he does this quite often, I must add)
I will take it back off tomorrow. It always used to be there but as you say sadly I took it off to be safe not sorry
"dashes off to google to look up Mo's question"
to each their talents and fun, nan
waiting in antisipation Kate :-)
I still have mine up here and no problems at all
I'm at 7 to go without a list, but it takes me about 20 times longer than mitch!
it doesn't look like it Mo :(
there is a place called Rotterdam in the netherlands though
Thank you for co6, lynx - fireworks
When I was Kitt Walker I could only find one other Kitt Walker on the internet, they were a Lawyer in Birmingham, Al, USA and I was a Surveyor in Birmingham UK
thank you KATIE ... just wondered :-(
wtg Biltong!
wtg Biltong
WTG biltong
What a coincidence!
very much so jan
ty sprite I seem to have heard of Rotterdam somewhere ... :-) lol.
*grins*
well done biltong !!!!
Time for lunch...BBL
I'm off to play on facebook for a while, will be back soon
bye Katie and jan
bye Katie.
bye jan
Mo, Google didn't show me anything about a Rotherham in the US. It must not have made the list.
*!* ta da *!*

I had never heard of it, but the US is a big place.

But it apparently has a football club that gets mentioned quite a bit.
I found Dolly

Canclow ...yes I know the area.
Hello BabbleRabble.
sorry Canklow,
I can remember that nan lived at the top of a very steep hill
Cute icon Soodle. : )

So far, so good! It is very pretty. Put some earlier pics up.
The worst is still yet to come.
Stats please for the top center A?
How are you today, Molly?
It's always pretty at first. After two feet, the pretty thing doesn't seem to work anymore.
It does for me!
Top center a...ae4
The wind is picking up though..and that is why we generally lose power.
<slap> Thanks, Molly!
Hi Car

We are having tacos tonight. Because they are quick and easy and my kid loves them because we don't have them very often.
We are going out with friends to have pizza and beer at our local pub
Friday is pizza night in Jillyville : )
Looking forward to their "Thai Pie"...yummy
Thai food on pizza?
Italian night Chez Soodle this evening. Spaghetti Carboneri (sp?) and garlic bread. Delish!
Hello all about half way through and ready to stop for a little banana cake and coffee. Need a brain rst. Enjoy your afternoons.
Hi Stid. :-)
<----!!FW!! (not listless today though)
Mmm, I love spaghetti carbonara.
Whoo hoo Jilly. Well done
*very sad that woot is not a word to enable*
I still think we should have one of those dinners where each person furnishes one dish and we travel from house to house. It could take a week to get to dessert but what fun we would have. We know woot is a word.
Gran Mere! What a great idea. A progressive meal across the country.
LOL, stidg...great idea!! (airfare not included...)
Across the world progressive dinner!
All welcome Chez Soodle!! ( but once I get ye here, I won't let ye go.....)
It's like the Irish version of Hotel California.
ROFL....absolutely LOVE your icon soodle..how appropriate for us irish!
However, the child was obviously brought up in an unfortunate way if he has to ASK if he's Irish.
Sadly no dark desert highways......
Bah, we can rewrite the whole song. Welcome to The Hotel County Meath.
Plenty of cool wind in your hair, though.....
Going to have to find that one and make it my FB photo for St Paddy's this year!!
♪On a dark Irish highway ♫ smell of peat in my hair ♪
♫ Warm smell of the pub drafts ♪ rising up through the air ♫
Muttering under breath.... Would prefer the smell of Pete in my hair, but thats another story......
♪
hi all clues for the single i the the
♪ There soodle stood in the doorway, I heard the clank of a pint...♪
sorry, will continue, the single i in the 2nd column and the single a in the top 3rd column pls?
*Turns guitar amp up to 11 for the solo*
Well, speaking of pints and turning up the amp, must get dolled up for the pint of stout I am going to enjoy with me Thai Pie...bbl all!!
Mary, if I can make myself heard over Jilly & Molly's warbling..., in & 2 vowels...
Prayers and hugs to all, especially those in the Nor' Easter!!
((((((Enjoy Jilly)))))). Behave yourself!!!
She gets dolled up for one pint. Cheap date. : P
And the single a is AE 4/4....
ty Soodle, got them both
Warbling...that comes from the one who sings (ugh) ABBA songs in here.
Note: This is light hearted joking between Soodle and I. No one need get huffy and take offense. Thank you.
Molly!!!! Jilly has Irish blood. We all say we're going 'for one'. Then the adage about a bird never flying on one wing is trotted out. So we have another. We sing a chorus of The winner Takes It All, and have another drink...,
Oh right. "Just one". Forgot that somehow.
Never ever forget that a bird never flew on one wing!!!
Anything with "just" in front of it. Like "it's just vodka".
*Waits for someone to send Soodle to the PB*
Mrs wht used to be a visiting nurse in East Boston when it was still mostly Italian. She tells of asking one of her elderly patients how many glasses of wine he had a day. He said, just one. Then she asked, how many times do you fill it?
Schlunking off to the PB. Mae culpae!
Aye and if we were meant to have just one, beer wouldn't come in six packs. Amen.
Lol Wht!! Excellent!!
Molly, I am going to be in DC next Sunday. jmc and DCSean and I are planning on getting together Sunday around dinner with any other Babblers who can join us. Are you close enough to attend?
Alas, I have dinner plans next Sunday. Thanks, maybe next time.
Oh, go, Molly, go!!!! Please. Be my surrogate Babbler!!
Darn!!!!
Soodle, can you be Molly's surrogate Babbler?
Soodle you are as het up about Babble meet ups as JMC.
Sorry you can't make it Molly. Another time then.
There is a whole slew of you in the UK. Why don't you plan something?
Me too Wht. You are definitely a Babble person I would like to meet. : )
Hi all
Doh! Molls. I'm not in the UK!! (thought you'd have known that!)
Hello Cos. :-)
I just monkeyed the co7,48. I was expecting someting about bovines and it turned out to relate to authors.
Hi cos.
clue for the te7 for fireworks, please.
That caught me too, Wht!
<-- happy boy today. found lord of the rings on dvd finally. been trying to get a copy for months and didnt wanna order online
I thought the UK included Ireland and Scotland. Shows what I know.
Not such a united kingdom after all.
Just found it. The dishes for an afternoon snack.
I was told in school Ireland was part of the UK?
And Soodle, while you and I still await our lottery winnings...a cleaning lady at a casino found 10,000 dollars that SOMEONE LEFT IN THE RESTROOM.
hi all
Hi jmc.
I would be happy to help with your taxes when you win the lottery
a friend of mine found 1,000 in a casino restroom. a week later she gets a call from the police. someone reported 1,000 stolen and the casino had her on camera in the bathroom picking up the check! she had to return it to avoid charges
Oh...just Northern Ireland Cos. My ancestors are rolling in their graves.
ah ok thanks for the clarification Molly
molls do you have a suggestion for the 4th quandrant of the flag of Babbleonia
cabana boys
We already have a fish, a pint and a candle.
hmmmm that is an idea
Yes, my suggestion is not a monkey. Please God not a monkey. I am SO TIRED of hearing about the monkeys.
did you not see that the beer stein had a wine glass in it?
shirtless, 6 pack of course
Only the best cabana boys, cos.
i like the cabana boys idea. . . .
Oh Good heavens above. Ireland ( well 26 counties of Ireland ) is an independant State. 6 counties, in the North, are still under dispute.
no monkeys
I missed that jmc.
i only have part of the grid :-(
or a picture of me. :-D
It is my kind of grid, only 4 letters.
refreshed to a whole grid
Can I have a clue for the ca6/21 please
no no cosd that would not be fair to have a picture of you. . . maybe one of NB? hahahahahahaha
never mind!
If there is a picture, it should be Dr. God's Billy Gibbons picture.
jmc, Molly has plans next Sunday so she won't be able to join us.
If Soodle lived closer she would come.
too bad
hi all, can i have a clue for wa5 please
I am off again. Happy Babbling all. See you tomorrow if the power is still on.
well i think i am leaning towards the cabana boys. . .
maybe a weemee with a spike in its head?
bye wht stay warm!
hahaha don't make me laugh outloud i am in a meeting
lol I cancelled my weemee account the same day I created it
Hey Lilliann. :-). Too durn right I'd come to a Babble meet Whit.
*Stares at Ru with large, creepy aniweeme eyes*
well who knows i may make it to the british isles yet
As a matter of interest, what are the the other 3 quadrants composed of?
a clown fish. . .a candle. . .and a beer stein with a wine glass in it
can't you see it as my icon pic?
Rofl!!!! Jmc, come over here!! We'll have a blast!
Not here but when I go to your profile it's there. Nice!
no doubt
it may have been late last night when i created it
i can see it here jmc
Good morning / afternoon / evening :)
hi liz
Like the proposed flag, JMC - I can see it in the chog
refresh
hi liz :)
co6/27 please?
What is in the top right quadrant?
well i am open to suggestions for the final quadrant although monkeys have been definatively ruled out
a clown fish
and the left?
left top is empty
scales of justice
Hey Liz . Jmc, I think the final quadrant should be devoted to food, given the amount of time spent discussing the stuff in the chog!
bottom left is a candle and bottom right a beer stein with a wine glass interior
I was thinking food - or friendship!
no justice in the grid!
brb
Beer stein / wine glass - clever!
cos, a country in africa and then change vowell to double one
Food. Definitely food
no justice in the world either

Congrats cos :)
good for you cos!!
I gotta figure out how to use my new deep fryer.. i want to make fried mushrooms tonight
Yum - with loads of garlic????
Coat 'em and fry 'em. : )
lol yeah i know.. but i need to figure out what to use to make the coat then how long do I fry it for
No garlic in deep fried mushrooms, is there?
google is my friend
panko crumbs for one
I'd put garlic with most things! Stuff them with garlic butter, coat them and fry them! Not the healthiest option but ...
i do have garlic i can use for
If you can find any of the Zatarain's deep fry batter mixes, they are very good.
unless you're using cut mushrooms
Even just rub garlic over the mushrooms before coating them!
http://alturl.com/juoek
Mushrooms are good with a tempura style batter.
As are most veg, Molly - very yum!
oh, that's right you have wonderful weather so you can go out.
<---Getting the hint that Liz is a garlic lover
True - love most food actually! The challah was great, btw!
Absolute mayhem here. A very well known and trusted frozen food company has been found to have been using horsemeat in their frozen burgers & lasagnes. Yik.
Aldi too now, as well as Findus!
One of the many reasons I do not buy frozen food.
I also don't buy frozen food - veg, yes but not prepared meals.
And I fear this is only the tip of the iceberg...
Frozen food...tip of the iceburg...har dee har
I think you're probably right, soodle. Sun's coming out - time for a walk. Enjoy your evenings - sleep well soodle :) BBL

Hi Molly, did you just see it tonight?
Was it good but depressing, or just depressing?

Edward "Wa 5" McDaniel (June 19, 1938 – April 18, 2002) was a Choctaw-Chickasaw Native American who achieved fame as a professional American football player and later as a professional wrestler.
Wa5!! Min
really tor...isn't it a type of fish?
Smores likes to talk in gridspeak.
Oh okay .. It's a fish ..

Chief wa5 is indeed the mascot of the Cleveland Indians. Tor you gave in too quick. : P
And a board game, according to an earlier clue.
Yes, I am pr5 to do5 so.
conado
I wasn't doubting that it was the mascots name tor, just was surprised.
Chief Wa5 will always be for me the not at all racially or politically insensitive mascot of the Cleveland Native Americans ..
;^p

Wa5! Pass a stout this way, Jj ..
