bb in the am
Night, Flosey.
Good morning. For the moment, (first 40 words), this is a friendly grid.
Hello, Ruby, Almost through my first run and have found exactly 110 words I am on the last D at the moment.
How are you?
Hello (( zzoozz)).
dodo
damn sorry everyoone
l'm happy to see you! Did l see you mention "Assassin's Creed" yesterday? l saw it advertised last night (but l was watching Billions, a little bit like watching a writhing snake!)
That word would apply to me. LOL
Aside from being incapable of building a fire, l'm fine, thanks. Usually, at this hour, it is necessary to me**ly lurk
Ah yes assassin's creed origins. Yes I am playing that game, Ruby. The details in the game are stunning. It is also a vast game. Looks like it will take me some time to complete the storyline.
It was advertised as a movie on cable; l have no idea.....
There is an assassin's creed movie but I have not seen it.
We probably get some of the same shows (do you have Showtime, if you're ready for some incredibly rough language).
I have sky satellite and that carries hundreds of channels. Most of them seem to be crap but it would take me an hour just to keep swapping the channels to see what they are about so I go by the title of the programme lol
Is showtime the name of the TV program or the name of the channel?
Everything stops here for this Holiday. There is even a little ceremony in the cemetery down my street with a tiny band
Yes it is armistice day so it will.
I recommend "This is us" and "When we rise", two current series, neither of which offends (unlike Billions, which does -- even moi) but which deal with important iissues, nonetheless
It's the cable channel,but there are things that even shock me and l'm not easily shocked.
Just googled them. Will look out for them, Ruby.
My oldest friend (almost 50 yrs of friendship) wrote to me yesterday and l haven't stopped smiling. Although she visited me here a couple of times; we are both too old to travel now and she lives in Seattle, having given up her 10th arrondisement apartment in Paris when her husband died.
Uh oh, l'm monoipolizing the chat, just like what others do that annoys me. Bad Nel!
Nice when people can make you smile! Even better when it is hannd written letters and not email type!
Oh it does not bother me, Ruby. I have real life things for me to worry about lol You can chat away as much as you like. Besides I do not see anyone else here.
That last 'i' tile has me stumped at the moment. Can't think of one word.
And just as I wrote that I found it. iD 5/14
We exchanged 4 sets of letters yesterday and have a date to speak on the phone tonight; wE HAVE A WEALTH OF SHARED HISTORY: YOUNG MOTHER, Young faculty wives, unahppy first marriages, etc.
Sounds like you have a great connecton with this person, Ruby! Much memories and gossip to share with each other!
Her son gave my son his first guitar when he was 7
l am so fortunate!
I would loved to have learned either the guitar or the piano.
As is the other lady, Ruby :-)
It led to John's secondary career (which he has now dropped!)
At least he has that to fall back on if needed!
Hah!!!
My first run through and I have 124 words found.
or even harumph!
lol
l'm enjoying "seeing" you, zzoozz. ls it cold and nasty there? They're predicting serious rain here, starting tonight
Well it must be the rain we are having then,, Ruby as it is raining here and has been all night and it will be all day too. Sunday is supposed to be rain at first turning brighter later. And the temps are around 13c at the moment but getting colder by Sunday.
And I only have enough sugar for one more cup of tea before I must nip out and buy a bag of sugar :-(
It is my day off today!
It's probably 13 IN the house . l have an extra kilo for you! lol
Do you not have your fire going? And I will nip round and grab that kilo of sugar then, Ruby...open the door for me and keep the dogs at bay lol
The fire refused to "take" but l'm wearing 3 sweaters, wrapped in two blankets and have the little space heater
atmy feet. Not so bad
Door is open for you and th dogs would love you!
That is good to know you are staying warm.
There's no Wind, which makes a big difference in this drafty house.
L'm needing a nap, zuddely<<; <bye...........^
Yes I can relate to that this is anewish house but it is so drafty.
Hope you have a great day, Ruby. It was lovely to see you ((Ruby))
Is anyone willing to give me stats, please, for the centre E?
ed4.6
Thanks, Sarah

One of the many strange words in this collection
Fest is not in the dictionary?!
No, and I still try it every time :)
Fest is in MANY dictionaries. It is just not recognized by the persnickety Enable Word List that drives this puzzle.
WOW, l just fell asleep two hours ago in the middle of playing and "talking" to zooz
Do they have tsetse flies in France?
Welcome back, Sleeping Beauty : D
It's a good thing l wasn't standing!
Or driving : O
It was 22 degrees when I woke up this morning
It is only 21 here now. Big Winter slap in the face.
It's very cold in the house, but outside it's in the 40's. They're predicting snow in the nearby mountains tomorrow
l couldn't get the fire to "take" but l have my trrusty little spaace heater at the foot of my "throne"
Isn't that early to be so cold where you two are?
Yes, but it was warm for a long time
Is the ground frozen yet?
Eh, we have some cold days if we get a blast of "arctic chill" like we are now. I wish the freaking arctic chill would stay where it belongs.
It's going to warm up a bit starting tomorrow
We are generally mostly mild through Thanksgiving. There have been many Thanksgivings when I fixed the feast wearing shorts.
That's true Indin Summer
There hasn't been a hard frost for the past two years. The first couple of years, we were snowed in several times and the fishpond would have thick ice all winter
It doesn't matter for me since l don't go outside very much and never have to unless it's to doctors or hospital
the de 7/40, I had that when I was pregnant
I even have blood tests, haircuts, etc. done at home
Hey, All

when l went to Google, l lost all of my words!
How do l get them back?
It was a very angsty time for me. Was in my 5th month and my grandfather died right before I went into the hospital
ruby, I don't know how that woul have happened
hit the back arrow, it should bring you back
Try refreshing your screen Ruby. And get someone to show you how to use taps so that you don't have to leave Babble to search Google.
Tabs not taps
l thought taps were appropriate for 11/11!
They're back
Very, ruby
Ta Dah!
YAY bichon!!
You finished, smarty pants?
I thought the ta dah was for Ruby's words being back
that, too, but l think Bichon got FW
Thomas the Tank Engines mythical isle is in todays grid.
l'm either too old or too young to know that reference
Sodor Ruby. It is a reference to a PBS children's show
Thomas the Tank Engine lives on the Island of Sodor. Character created by Reverand W Awdrey a very long time ago.
Thank you; l was feeling sub-literate!
They were books long before the childrens show.
They started t

No worries, peri
Peri, in an ideal world, this is the time of year we would be going to stay in our ocean front condo for the winter. My hairstylist just moved there and she said she GAVE AWAY HER WINTER COAT
back to bed for me, bb at a more reasonable hour
l lived in Miami before moving here, and l'd rather be cold for a couple of months. Evidently, where we lived has been totally taken over by shady Russian oligarchs
It's a thing, Molly. I don't own what you would call a winter coat.
See you later, flosey
Bye Flosey
Ooh, I found the U words!
When l lived there l kept winter coats for biz trips to the frozen north

Hi kids. A reasonable sized grid today.
and the plural
Scrabs!! Hey!!
Hi Scrabs
More reasonable than yesterday
Thx for the plural...missed that!
Are your snowshoes out and reaady for a trek?
I want snow! It is 13 degrees now. Yesterday's wind chill was 6 when we went for a walk and we lasted 10 minutes.
Oy! That sounds like Binghamton!
At the university, come Spring, the kids had a ceremony "The Stepping on of the Coat"
U fortunately, it was often nott 'til May!
The ski resort across the valley began making snow yesterday. They want to open ASAP, but temps must cooperate.
Bbl, making a cake with Georgia......
Enjoy!
Good morning, all. Happy Veterans Day.
Hi Judi.
term
Free clue.
quite a clue!
Straightforward. Not cryptic. And, even better, error-free. Mistake-filled clues are useless and confusing.
:)
Thanks, Scrabbs!
Hello everyone! Happy Sunny but very cold Saturday!
Hi Car! Wind chill of 6 here again today. But it will warm up later.
Do6 and Do8. * face palm *
Well, I haven't found those yet, so apparently I need to be flogged with fish.
Judi's statement was a clue of sorts :)
I am still clueless.

FE6: ooze.

Silly bird.

scrab were you being a do4 bird lol?
I call my husband a do 6/33 all the time
I didn't see it at all and the clues were too vague.
scrab ohh:)
Plus, 2 D's and 2 O's create many possibilities.
but most common in this grid is the do4

oops. I thought you were asking MB!

I'll go back to lurking!
no way - stay and chat - it's quiet in here
yes I didn't mean to shut you down - the instinct to help is powerful in this group :-)
Been sitting at my desk too long! I need to get up and stretch.
at work or at home?
home. I see you live in WV. I visited a few time. It's beautiful! Once to Pipestem on a mission trip and once to the large old resort--don't remember the name.
might have been the Greenbrier - very "fancy" old resort - now known for its championship golf courses - i live at the northern "top" of the state while both of those are in the southern part of the state. Where do you live?
Lexington Mass--The Birthplace of American Liberty. It was the Greenbrier. That was about 28 years ago. I bought a very lovely kids tea set for my daughter.
Just to clarify, when people ask for stats, they are trying to find the word based on the first two letters, without a clue.
went to college in central Mass. but loved the Boston area (and actually all of New England)
down to my last 11

Slamming the President has caused some serious troubles here.
yep, we're politics and religion free zone here
hemorrhoids
Well, I don't think it needs to go that far. But there are some here who are not liberal Democrats.
we give politics and religion out for free
<---Now knows how to spell it
extry, extry, get yer nice hot politics here! free side of religion!
it's a tricky set of subjects these days -- there are very def. opinions (partisan) on chog
like me, for instance. die hard loyalist.
funny that Gomorrah's partner is in the grid
i'm fine with the discussions myself but it got very nasty very fast
not assuming everyone who is do6/27 would agree that we are do6/27, for sure. Still hope we're not, of course.
off with their heads!
it doesn't have to be nasty if you honor that someone has a different opinion.
hi all. I have em8 and do8. help with other 8's pls
there is de8, fe8, qu8
ty dan, looking
mu8 and st8
found the mu8 ty
found the qu8. ty already had the singular, duh

cute hursh
fe8 ends the same as mu8
sheesh, ty dan, already had the singular of the fe8 . babble blindness I guess
st8 and de8 both have the plural robot ending
i just don't see do8
do8 is pl of do6/33
ah i see , didn't have do6/33. got them now tho, thanks

ah, tyty Dan.

I agree with what you said, Ru. It doesn't have to get nasty if you honor that someone has a different opinion. And you can say what you want about the politicians, but not about those who support them.
I'm missing an 8...is there an em?
yes.like the st and de
Thank you!

hello again -- errands behind me, so can relax for the rest of the day. Is it Rememberance Day in the states as well as here?
Yes, called Veteran's Day here
It is the same kind of day, called different things in different countries, to commemorate the ending of World War I. Veteran's Day, Armistice Day, Remembrance Day.
Also a day for a country to honor those who serve.
yes, we called it armistice day years ago

How silly is Enable. It allows the word MO 5/16 yet does not allow the word internet!
hello al
*all...
Hello, Stidmama :-)
Pretty silly Zoom
I think mo5s were around long before the internet.
We sometimes forget that computers were used for a long time before the personal computer became available.
... and I think that technically internet should be The Internet ... itè
... its a proper noun .... but then it should accept intranet so what do I know
News to me.
Saying internet is a proper noun is like saying telephone is a proper noun. Or telegraph.

Marc do you need any more incomprehensible clues?
I could use the IO words...
yes please de7/40 would be a big help
take the de4,6 and add a medical ending.
all the io words seem to be related to the chemical that gets added to salt to prevent goiter.
Marc, it is the same ending as the st7,
thanks got it. io5/14 is a traditional way of saying something
an expression
Marc, I believe that is the id5
how does the last io end?
It is a terrible word. It has a hide*** ending.
Kind of like a bad horror movie.
that took awhile, but I finally figured it out! Thanks! I am so slow sometimes!
Sorry, I seem to specialize in clues that are obvious if you already know the word. :^)
No, it was a great clue, I am just not swift...
can we try the SEs?
You just me to make a se6 for my string of unhelpful clues?
I am willing to go for it. Your clues have helped!
