Hello everyone may I have a clue for the BU 7/48 please?
Oh well been at this for two hours now so time for a break.
bu7/48...what a ram does with his horns + sometimes vowel + first three of the not wash cycle
I would have defined it as a colorless, liquid ester found in butter...but...like anyone would know that
ac 6/30, pls
Oh my ac6 back
good morning all
Good morning
Hi car.
Hello Sukee
I like your avatar :)
ty
My cats already got their Christmas presents.
catnip? new beds? nail clippers?
Two cat nip toys, one each. One is already lost under furniture :) They got beds a couple of weeks ago and haven't been near them.
=^..^= :)
I also got a water fountain type thing because they kept tipping the water bowl over.
Do they like it? I've been thinking of that. They love moving water.
They seem to, have only seen one drink but I'm sure they other has.
Hi kids.
Hi scrabs.
Rite
Rite
It's ok,dexter, we all do that.
Hi Scrabs
Time to go get ready, I may be back for a few minutes.
LOL...Scrab...you're in the grid!
Yay!
Good morning, everybody :)
Hi Crossy
Crossy! Hello!
Hi all
Hi all
Hi Medusa
hi car. Hows you?
Still on this side of the grass, so OK I guess
good. lol
Today is my dad's birthday, and that is one of his favorite sayings.
ok. Happy birthday to him.
Wheee! I found a 9!
wtg.
Stats please for the A in the bottom row?
I just started. Not got there yet.
Got it! NBT & NBS!
Hi Medusa
Nice saying, car.
wtg car. H Scrabbler. Hows you?
I am doing well, getting myself brave for 2 busy days of work ahead and 2 nights of on call in a row--I am a pediatrician.
Clue for the 9, Car?
Oh boy...remember to breathe!
AS 9/84
Wow. Nice ob. Respet to you.
riga
oops
And very concerned about a critically ill patient in the ICU now--she drank kerosene Sunday night.22 months old. I am so worried about her.
Oh no! I will lift her up on the prayer list at church.
Car, actually I need to remember to drink water and pee so I don't get a UTI.
Poor little mite. Will keep her in my prayers
breathe..drink...pee.
scrab mind if i ask you a medical question?
Yes, please, Car. Her name is Aaliyah and she is critically ill, on a ventilator.
Sure, ivesy.
lol car
How horrible
Love medical things. I don't know why I have such an obsession with them!
ty.. i have been under dr care for two mos. for dizziness.. dr wants to do a cat scan of my head.and insurance wont approve it. is there any way to get them to change their mind
goat
Oh ivesy...I'm sorry they won't cover it. How absolutely stoopid.
i know. dr. cant seem to pinpoint the cause. i have to wear a patch to stop the dizziness.only thing really showin up is a twisted carotid artery
Have you had an eye exam
Go to Dent Institute--specialist will do MRI
yes. eyes change becuz my sugar flucuates
If you see a specialist, the specialist will get approval typically
OK, but nothing else showed up? CArotid artery stenosis / disease can definitely affect the vision, but so can a change in your prescription.
Dent Institute has an office in Orchard Park on Southwestern. They will do an MRI in their own office.
ty scrab will mention this to my dr. well i think she is sending me to neurologist.
Good. That sounds like a great option.
Hope you get it sorted soon ivesy
Dent INstitute is all neurologists.
HOpefully you won't have to wait too long for an appointment.
ok ty. it is very scary not knowing one minute to the next when the dizziness takes over.
I will be thinking of you, Ivesy, and lifting you up as well.
You should get in quickly as they have a huge staff of docs.
ty car.. i beleive going to the neurologist will get it approved
Ivesy, that is where I would go. Please call for an appt this morning.
ty scrab going to go look them up..do i need my drs. approval?
Probably not.
ugh...7:30...time to get the second shift up. HAGD everyone. ((hugs)) all around today.
And I must get going too--must bring garbage and recyclables to end of driveway and then get to work.
ty for the info scrab

Bye for now car and scrabbler

Would not suit me but nice for you.

my daughter in Maine is so happy that they finally got some snow yesterday :-)
Am hoping we get some here this year.

Ok une. Enjoy

I don't get many headaches but when I do they like to hang around a bit.
*hug* back, glad you are getting enough sleep
I hope your headache goes away soon, medusa
maybe a stupid question, medusa, but do you drink enough? (As in water and tea, not booze)
thanks peri. It is not a bad one, just annoying.
Most of the time. I do wear glasses for close work and really need to get them done but can't do anything at the moment

Not getting your clue for the 9 sprite. bye for now peri

Is it me or is this grid a nasty one today? I found yesterdays easier and that was a pain
Good Morning - yes todays grid has some big bad teeth......struggling to get half way
yesterday's wasn't too bad for me. This one seems to be tough for its size, usually the big ones are easier.
hiya river
Don't usually get to see you sprite.....your up late
Really fighting with it. Am even getting stuck on the 4 letter words today!
Hi river
I usually play in my morning, yes. Was too tired today though, so went to lie down for a bit and then slept until 1.30 pm! So now indulging in a bit of afternoon babble.
It is 8:40 am here
I got up late today too. Was wondering why then remembered I took a pain pill for my head yesterday evening then another one when I went to bed.
one strategy for this grid might be to add the endings to each and every word, don't be afraid to try. -ing, -ate, -ite, -a, -na, -ish.
I try them all anyway if i see them.
me too
oh and here's a compound combo: ra8/9 will keep you dry outdoors.
Shark is on its way with the cello!
now got both 9's
thanks for that sprite
dumdum dumdum dumdum DUMDUM....
yvw river
lol. Have used it since you first said it sprite. Just cracked up. So funny.
*giggles* the babble shark... dumb-dumb dumb-dumb dumb-dumb DUMB-DUMB...
Bloody thing will get the cello over it's head if it don't leave me alone!
lol
finally half way - going to go make breakfast - have a great day babble friends
you too river.
have a lovely evening, river
I still only have 56! Long way to go for me.
medusa, do you have the as 9?
am beginning to finish up. Just found a really unusual combo. Co7/44 - 8/60. Want a clue?
sure sprite
I do.Not sure how to clue it though bichon. Yes please sprite
as9 = as + babies bed + diamond r***
co + hurt minus last letter + take your money to the **nk. And plural.
bichon, see sprites clue at 7:31
thanks. That is a strange word!
as9: A + someone who writes minus last letter (oldfashioned word). Gerund ending.
good clue, medusa
Thanks sprite. Really had to think about it. lol
is there a clue for the ca7/32 Please. Am assuming the 8 is plural
ty sprite
co 7/8 is a lulu. Thanks sprite!
let me see... I have a 6-7-8 combo. ca6 - girl's name, rhymes with female russian ruler. Latin plural for the 7. Had for dinner ending for the 8
ty sprite
think that is the one. Thanks.
another doozy: bu7/48 bu + abbrev for thank you + wedding ***g.
yvw :)
thanks.
thanks, again
Not getting the girls name
I don't understand the co 8, clue
ts4 = russian ruler. ts7/28 = female russian ruler. ca6 is C + the ts7 minus ts
ca6 = the ts7 minus ts
thanks sprite. shark is getting closer!
tx for all the great clues!!
scary shark, lol
co 8. pls

how about fat bottomed girls? That is one of my faves of theirs.

bye, Sprite...thanks for all the great clues
Hey...how about Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and Jefferson Starship "We Built This City."
I like that one, too, medusa...especially since I am one.
Love those too. Must say though my fave band of all time is Europe.
Me too! The way I see it is there are people out there that pay for a bum like mine and mine is all home grown.
Do you get the American TV show The Voice there? The guy who won last night has an unbelievably great voice with incredible mastery.
hi, all...phantom: triage
I don't get it. If I had satelite tv I would.
Hi angel. How are you?
Is there a clue for the cr7 please?
His name is Jordan Smith and he already has a recording contract...listen for him.
I will do. Thanks
medusa, I am well and very happy.
OK--need breakfast. Up since 3 am unable to sleep so got half my day's work done.
Aw. Go have breakfast and a nap hun. You must be exhausted.
Good to see everyone today--hugs.
you too mimi.
good to hear angel.
it is nice, medusa. I have struggled with this time of year since my paternal grandfather's death on Dec. 22, 1983
Bless ya
that particular Christmas was extremely difficult.
I understand that. I lost my disabled aunt 10 years ago this boxing day.
is there a clue for the sc7 40 above the 8 please? Am assuming the 8 is plural
I haven't listed yet medusa but the only sc 7/40 I have is a wound that leaves a mark and it can't be made plural.
it shoulds like what you do when you have an itch
I got that one. Thanks though.
I have no idea what it means,though!
not getting that arb.
lol
Is there another clue for it please?
don't worry. Got it.
With you on the meaning arb
one reason I am happy is that I've had writer's block for a while, and the dam has broken.
Nice one. So you are writing again then. What sort of things do you write?
at the moment, I am keeping a blog. I've had several posts in draft mode for weeks. finished one this morning and just need to link other posts in the series to the new one, then I will be able to publish it.
Can't wait to see it! I love to read. Am thinking of writing too. Have an idea in my head but not sure where to go with it yet.

hi folks
hi peri
hey peri
had a little adventure today. went to a neighboring town, lots of nice shops. but I wanted to go to the Free Store. I donated some items there. Will go back again to donate some more. I like this idea better than goodwill stores.
cr 7/32, pls
help with st8 pls
to be sluggish
peri, is the Free Store similar to the online local Buy Nothing groups, where people in the same neighborhood post stuff to give away, and post 'asking for' ?
like water full of algae
is that the st 8 or the cr 7?
sort of ch 1212.. one can walk in and take what ever you want. You cannot request something. You can donate only what you are able to carry.
Une - got the 8 - thanks, but don't get the cr clue. Help?
th 8
didn't clue a cr7
cr 7/32, pls
That is a wonderful idea.
ty Une for st8
don't have a cr7 :-)
I wanted a muffin tin and the only one they had was kind of crappy looking.
o.k. - I see both clues were for the st8. Thanks.
it is a great idea. cause there are many people who do not have $ for things especially around the holidays and they had toys there.
I am missing 4 8's
Peri, is the store staffed by volunteers then? And is the rent donated?
staffed by volunteers. they were asking for donations to help pay the rent.
apparently there are free stores in other towns
the store was very small and I do not think it has been there long
lots of people shopping but also others like me donating
churches also have free stores . . .
ah... locally, our hardware store owner donated his upstairs attic space for something similar, but items were a flat 25 cents no matter what it was (clothes to tv's).
none of the churches near me have free stores but they do have thrift stores
yes is a good deal, ch1212
that is a good deal, ch1212 and cheers to the hardware store owner
I got burned donating to one church -- I had brought in a bunch of my mom's clothes . . . . a woman came in and took an armload . . . . right after she left, someone told me she does that all the time and sells the clothes for drugs . . . . bummer
oh, that is a bummer
important to have someone from the community to supervise
I need to find a place to volunteer near my new home.
soup kitchen?
gift wrapping for donated Xmas toys etc.?
no soup kitchens near me but food pantries. need one close to me. will check.
aaahhh ok
maybe someplace to volunteer ton Christmas day
gosh, peri, the options are endless! Whatever you're interested in there is an organization, church, or group who would love to have more volunteers, even if you can only donate 2 hours a month.
indeed -- volunteers needed in all areas
I have volunteered in two food pantries in the past few years.
volunteer to drive elderly to shops? church?
Most states have a 2-1-1 directory now, so give them a try. Dial 2-1-1 and ask them for options in your area. I run a local online resource directory, and have a page dedicated to volunteer opportunities. Your area might have something similar.
not really interested in picking up or driving anyone
I have a friend who regularly picks up ladies to take them grocery shopping
oh ok
never heard of calling 211
taking a break, bbl
wow -- me either -- will check
Animal shelters, child care, alternative high schools, ESL, local law enforcement, museums, food banks, soup kitchens, clothing banks, thrift stores, local schools.... sewing groups, reading books for the blind on tape ... you get the idea.
yes yes yes :-)
I missed the clue via chat in front of me for the st8?
nvm
found it
male deer+ man's name
I used to volunteer for TEDI years back ..loved it
what's that?
our libraries always need volunteers -- maybe that would interest peri . . . ?
Telecommunication for the Deaf Incorporated
I was the go bwtween for the deaf and hearing to be able to talk to each other via phone
so you must have special skills?! wow
just typing and speaking
you had ot type exactly what the hearing person said and read what the deaf person typed
and type back to deaf person of course
cool!
it was .. hate to say it but I am disappointed that some technology has take those volunteer jobs from people at times
yeah . . . know what you mean
ur 6 and 7 are not related right?
ur6 is a gerund . . . . coaxing
so what is a clue for the ur7 have ur6/33
?
aaahhh ur7 is to pee ;-)
to pee
ty une and hego
yw :-)
:)
75 to go and need to get going -- driving up to my hometown to take a couple of my mom's sweet caregivers (she passed 4 yrs ago) out to eat and for a Xmas glass of wine! :-)
we've stayed in touch-- they're such special people
sounds like fun bye une
byeee :-)
Nice
Ba7/52...what a stupid word. One piano player was ba7 while the other was Mozarting.
Never knew Johann Sebastian was a verb.
hello everybody
Hi Ruby
i believe the meaning is "cooking and cleaning for oneself, etc, while a single male (ie bachelor)", nothing to do with Johann Sebastian
Oh right!
I'll bet it's not in the OED!
Opens up the lead balloon window

There are 3 from the bottom row A
May I have a clue please for the AS 7/32?
Hi all
as + vehicle + I am, you are etc.
tyvm
yvw
ba7/52......clue please
ba 7 - gerund the composer!
tyvm Liz.....never heard of this word before
please clue as 7/32
just clued by liz....
thanks liz!
yw - very strange word
We were informed earlier that the composer/gerund word means a man who is spending some time acting single. I'm not buying it though. It's just a weird word.
Thanks for the info - but definitely just a weird word.
I can see it being some oddball/slang/made-up word...like...my wife is away this weekend so I'm ba7 around...but it's a stretch when it comes to the English language
i was surprised to see it in the dictionary...
That makes sense. Doesn't change my opinion though.
Then again, snog is accepted here and that is definitely an oddball/slang/made-up word. As is arvo.
We've often said that there's no explaining Enable!
As for all the multi-lingual words ... Some are in common English usage but others?
The other week, looking for the word Daven, which Sprite thought I should know (correctly), it just didn't occur to me to think of looking for that word.
anyone have a clue for the A words for the A bottom line? under the C?
One of the most commonly used French words by English speaking people is merci. And yet it is not in the archaic, Enable word list.
ac 5/12 I think - a + vehicle + vowel
No explaining it Molly!
yeah! that was one of them liz. ty.
yw
mkg, check the chat; they are listed at 4:51 , 4:51 & 4:59
Always a good idea to look at the chat if you are a person who wants clues instead of finding the words on your own. There are a ton of clues in chat.
ty
i got them all. ty.
ok now, does anyone have the E word bottomr right corner? also missing the Y word. would love stats.
ea 6/24 - you do it to food
ty how did i miss that one? ty.
yw
got the y also. ty.

oops. sorry
