There is a Babbler in the grid
Good morning, Babblers. MOnkey, you are safe?
Yes, everything is fine here in Virginia. It's like any other normal cloudy day.
Good.
Looks like I can still have my moving squad tomorrow or Sunday.
New house?
Yes I bought a house! It's not new, but it's new to me.
So excited :)
Yay!
I have not owned a house by myself since 1986.
Enjoy! Create your special space.
Scrabs have you ever hiked in the SW US? Like in Sedona or thereabouts?
Grand Canyon, but not further south in AZ. My sister has hiked there several times with Road Scholar trips and loves those areas--Marble Canyon, Havasupai, Superstition Mtns. I prefer forests.
I am dying to go on a hiking trip out there!
She likes the dry heat and low chance of rain.
Look at Road Scholar--all types of trips everywhere and very affordable.
OK thank you, I will investigate.
She will hike in Big Bend NP in Texas in several months.
WOW thank you Scrabs, I just took a quick look. TONS of choices, I m going to plan something.
Options include single vs double vs group sleeping, so if you register early and pay more you can have a single set-up.

missing the E words for 5th column E. stats and clues welcome. ty.
My friend in North Andover could not go home after work. Her home is safe, but what a tragic disaster.
yw Luv
Don't quite understand why so many homes blew up
too much pressure in the gas main, sounds like
it must have been gas main's that were old and in bad condition.
it said in article i read that the gas co had said they were going to work on old mains.
There should be maintenance
Glad I don't have gas
bichon; most definitely a malfunction by the gas provider, but unfortunately we will never be told the details.
i assume that there was an indication that the main needed work but they didnt get to it yet. boy will that be a lawsuit!
anyone have the E words for E in fifth column?
nm. just got one of them. ty anyway
i guarantee no law suit
ep 7/32, pls
as evidence, i suggest.....flint's water.
it's nice that we still worry about a word in a puzzle while the world burns.
ep7,32 is e + sharp thing + the first 3 vowels in bottom row
Babble is a temporary escape.
ty monkey
e from 5th row: em4
TY, Monkey.
deanoz, what should we do about it? and what should we do about the impending storm? i give a lot to charities which do help the poor and those in need. that is my way. and if there are issues locally where i can take action, i do. i write to congressmen and senators to encourage them to also take action. and what do you do dean?
great clue monkey! ty.
mkg, I stole that clue from someone in chog earlier this AM :)
super monkey. good going.
well i am almost half way and must go to work so bye for now.
uh oh I got the red box
Are you being effected by the storm, monkey?
NOt at all , Bea. It's just cloudy and gloomy here. No rain as of yet. Wind speed 10-14 mph, which is pretty normal for the coast here.
I passed halfway. Maybe I will return tonight.
I have 78 left.
I think it went farther south than expected.
YEs it def did, Bea. Even the news from OBX looks relatively good. Most of Hatteras island still has power, they do have some flooding but not severe.
It hit the Crystal Coast, but not as hard as expected. Bogue Inlet pier has been damaged. That is were we always stay for our beach vacations.
Aw so sorry
I hope the damage is not too bad.
Bea you are near Raleigh? Do you have rain?
We've had almost no rain so far on coast of VA, I'm about 40 miles north of Virginia Beach.

If Dr. God were still charging, I would think he was trying to recruit new members with JOIN US at the top of the grid. : D
Jim Cantore of The Weather Idiot Channel is up to his usual tricks. He's standing in knee deep water in Wilmington talking about how horrible the conditions are, and 2 people go walking by on the sidewalk, like it's just a normal day. LOL!

are any babblers directly impacted by the hurricane ? I'm not sure who's in that area
the DC area will get lots of rainfall but dont know if we will have any flooding or other issues yet. I live in Md suburbs of DC. But the VA suburbs may get hit. and i know there were some babblers there.
Lil Monkey lives in the Virginia Beach area (which usually gets hit with hurricane effect stuff) and she said they are fine and dandy.
I had a bit a rain last night. steady breezes today. I'm in North Carolina. expecting maybe 5 inches of rain over the weekend.
watching some trees leaning several feet in the breeze.

good evening from Dublin, babble friends!
hi dan, what are you doing in Dublin?
celebrating another lap around the sun for mrs2bit
with new stamps in the family passports, and some fantastic fish & chips
hi Dan.
Damn 2Bit, you really do it up right, taking the woman to Ireland for her birthday.
:-)
not a long trip, since miss2bit is along & missing a few days of school
Glad you are having a great time!
In my family we refer to those as "educational field trips" : D
yep yep to both
Hi there zooz. Been missing you on the chat. How is your mother? Well, how are all of you for that matter. I am here waiting for the hurricane.....please remember me in your prayers. We are one the outer projected path but to expect high winds, flooding and tornadoes likely.
on
stay safe gapeach! Are you near a river?
Yes dan, the river is about a mile from my house but there is a creek nearby. Glad you are enjoying Ireland. Stay safe and have a wonderful trip.
you stay safe too! will be thinking of you
My son in New Bern reported that rising waters were 10" short of entering his home … his house is 12' above ground... They were blessed and safe...
Thanks dan.
Stay safe, peach. I'll have you in my prayers.
Thanks so much, mom.
bojazz- so glad they are safe!
bojazz, I watched the tv until 6:30AM...New Bern was hit very hard. I am so glad that your son is safe.
It was a long night waiting to hear from them this morning … he says that won't happen again. Next time he leaves...
Good. All of our hotels are full and churches ahd other places are taking in flood victims.

pl 7 - sounds like what dynamite does...
thanks
yw
How about pi7, please?

Pi 7 is sharp metal object + wriggly insect in dirt.
And how are you keeping?
I am doing okay thanks! Have you got enough food and resources incase you can not get out of your home for a few days?
I tried poinwor
I hope so, zooz. I cannot drive any more ...arthritis. But I have two friends help a lot. The wind is already picking up now. I have a closet that I will take the dogs there. Thanks for your prayers.

Nice fuzzy warm feeling, seeing Dan flying the Irish flag :-)
Weather here not too inclement, so I really hope the 2bit family have a wonderful experience here.

I just heard from rbud's daughter. She has been in the hospital for 3 weeks and will be in nursing home care another 3. I am sending her a card. Let me know if you would like your wishes added to it.
Good morning all.
Yes, of course, Ori. Perhaps add a note that all babblers who know her send their best wishes. I'm sure many lurkers would also wish her well.
In fact probably all babblers would. It is a caring community and not everyone will see your message.
Liz, I don't know how much room you have on the card but if there's room for a message: I've got a clue you're getting better.
or make that "we've"
Not me, jwr. Origami.
Will do, Liz, jwr
ori- Please add my name :)
Sorry, I meant that for ori

Sewing implement + crawly creature

obvious now that you pointed it out
8's finally conquered
I have one 8 to go.. this is drudgery
I was confused by wht's comment about the pi7. But then, I am easily confused.
Oh, wht's comment was about PL 7, bad eyesight on my part
i found the other 8.. .. wwwwwooooooo
7 g's from nirvana
i need to quit this game.. I'm getting too stupid
with 7 left? Nah!!
my last word was GOAT.. i think it's trying to tell me to quit
GOAT = Greatest of All Time
;)
ruru, are you still here?
52 left... 3 drinks in... I'm guessing I may not finish: )
*sends a few AA pamphlets to SF*
hahaha
we went to The Snug on Fillmore... afriend and I who ran a course this week - needed to vent and release
that's fun.. let your hair down every once in a while
paying taxes tonight.. it's really painful
yeah, ad occasionally, you just need bar food and a good drink - we had house made tater tots with horseradish and cilantro and lime chicken wings
well... then you DEF need a drink!
ooh.. that sounds great
I had forgotten how good tots are!
i never eat them
exactly
go have a tot ru! it will make taxes better
you're loaded... nothing makes taxes better
I could buy a brand new car with this
nah, I'm sobering up now
though
I have only found one more word... 51 to go now
yes, well, I don't wanna say what we paid in taxes... but I don't begrudge it I guess. I;m fortunate
50
(prepares for expletives from KJE)
49!
nah... I'm too relaxed now to expletivate
*waves to Pete*
pete is talking about pig roasts at Hedrun...
where's hedrun?
Point reyes
a meadery
oh
haven't done that
I don't really care for mead though
they are different in that they use champagne yeast for the mead - really interesting (and better than regular mead)
I like the drier ones
they have one made from mesquite tree blossoms that I like - goes great with any food that you would eat with beer
cuz I don't like beer
me neither.. beer is not for me
amen
i do like the smell of dark beers though
One beer and I am ready to be poured into bed.
I do like the really sharp IPA's though.
I had a very effervescent whitbier in belgium I liked... and occasionally a very dark stout... but not if their are alternatives
some gourmet chef here .. .I made a salad and a tuna sandwich and had some white wine
that works for me on a friday night, ru
life
that's all i could manage.. i didn't feel like cooking
yeah, I def get that
thankfully here, on those nights I order in - lol
or... toast and PB
Haven't eaten yet - but a tuna sandwich sounds good. Goes scrounging for tuna.
i never order in.. I go out to dinner though
add capers to that tuna, ori! makes it wonderful
I just tried Compline up here in Napa last week. It was really good
wow, we order in about once every week or 2
oooh.. capers sounds great
Ooooh - love capers. I think I have some around.
sushi mostly
bleeech
what is that, ru?
ditto the bleeech
Compline is a new cool restaurant up here in Napa
mayo, a little shallot or onion... capers... it is good
Assuming it was about the sushi
OMG - sushi is my FAVE!!!!
great wine program and good food
next time we are up there I will check it out
*gags at the thought of sushi
last night we tried Pearl in the Richmond... I had octopus, whihc I love
ori - you just haven't had great sushi!
I like cooked octipus
come visit and we will go eat raw seafood
(bleeeeeech)
this was quite good, a nice char, very very tender, vadouvan type spices
shudders
wraps blankets around ori
I am so sad for you both : (
TY :D
I'm just as happy NOT eating raw fish
(I'm still at 49)
Not into tapeworms
I think my utter hatred of sushi is more of a texture thing than anything else
I love seafood... any how, any way, any time
oh Puleease!
God, tapeworms. Now I really am sick to my stomach :D
fresh seafood is fine texture wise... and worms, whatev (I'm making a W sign)
:D
on the other hand... you are right, sushi is bad, it sucks, very dangerous, don't eat
Branded with the "W."
MORE SUSHI FOR ME!
just the smell of a sushi joint makes me ill
next week we are going to Wako for omikase
sushi joints shouldn't smell
maybe that is where you are going wrong
name one food you couldn't live without
or one cuisine
maybe it's the seaweed. Yet another non-yummy ingredient.
(shaking head with sadness for ori)
I eat seaweed salads
Greek and Middle-Eastern food
I like chicken
i can make greek food ori.. some old family recipes
definitely LOVE middle eastern, greek, lebanese... Ottolenghi!
do you eat seaweed to help with your algaerhythms?
Thai is a favorite for me too
no
no
no
Love it!
no puns
i love Thai food
I do, too
there is a good pace in pac heights - Jitlada
hmmm i may try that
There's a couple of good thai places in Sac
they have a eggplant appetizer, stuffed with shrimp, topped with this basil sauce that is amazeballs
Thai is ok to go on your own too
Sounds good - like eggplant
I also like vietnamese
and on a cold day, korean bi bim bap can't be beat
hard to find a good Vietnamese restaurant
yes, that is true - there was an awesome place in Houstoon that I feel just has never been topped
houston
Houston
I've tried several in SF nothing too impressive
although i love the vegetarian rolls at Mai's
there is a small mom and pop near me that I go to when I need a fix... it will do
Mai's on Clement?
IF I am craving comfort food, nothing beats Italian.
yes, pasta sometimes just hits the spot
yesh
i made pasta last night.. i was craving it with the change of weather
and raw oysters!
interesting - what did you make, ru?
(barf)
There's this funky, family-style Italian restaurant near me that is very comforting. My friend helped me paint all last weekend and I took her there for dinner. She loved it.
OMG... nothing in the world beats an amazing oyster with a dry martini
I made tortellini and alfredo sauce with grilled chicken and fresh basil
what is it called ori?
God, kje - is there nothing gross you won't eat? :D
that sounds good ru
El Espanol.
the tortellini looked like fred flinstone made them though
brussel sprouts and beets - yuck
I know - doesn't sound very Italian.
espanol??? italian??? hahahah
that is funny though, ori
We would starve to death in each other's houses, kje. I love brussels sprouts and beets!!!
i eat beets all the time
well, we could alwys have pasta, ori
I make a killer beet salad
no
no beets
Yumm … sounds good!
actually, I like raw beets, like julienned on a salad... I HATE cooked beets
I make a nice beet and citrus salad.
they taste like dirt
me too.. with fennel and a balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese and chives
Maybe we could incorporate some brussels sprouts into the beet salad for kje.
weirdly, I also like raw brussel sprouts - I had a brusse sproit salad once at a place - hate them cooked
Sam's?
you guys are sooooo gross
Well, there's hope for you yet :D
French laundry does that
48
See? I'm all fancy like the French laundry :D
go kje go.. (at this rate you'll be done by three)
have only been to TFL once... Pete hasn't though so he wants to go
i took Doren there a couple years ago
I really want to go to Atelier Crenn
it's too much food
crenn is excellent
inventive and wonderful
it looks it
been to Petit Crenn which is nice
i just ate there too.. i liked it alot
we are saving Atelier for a special occasion
yeah, Petit is somewhere I could eat everyday and be happy
they have raw oysters
Al's may be one of our faves in the city right now though
i can't eat oysters.. it dates back to my college days and massive amounts of tequilla
ah, we have a story here!
someday, over tequila... you will have to share that
up there with some of my most horrible adventures
I don't think any amount of alcohol could make me eat a raw oyster.
and a lot of horrible stuff has happened to me in life
that is bc you imagine the worse, your braiun is messing you up, ori... come visit and I wil take you to hog island... I have a 7 year old who now loves oysters after that
if I told you my oyster story kje.. you'd likely stop eating them too
More shuddering - where is that blankie, ru?
I bet not... I'm nott very squeamish
I'm up for the visit, kje - sans oysters :D
anglo... not a word
i wasn't squeamish until then either
let me know when you are down here, ori - I am always up to meeting a babbler
I'm really squeamish. That's what prevented me from going to medical school. Knew I couldn't hack it. One word: snot.
Will do kje
nah, that is not the worst
vomit is the worse
I'm sure the list of grossness docs encounter is endless
but, you just gird yourself and do what you must... though I have occasionally had to excuse myself and leave the room for a few with that vomit smell
pus... not so bad
GI bleed...bad
i can't imagine being a doctor.. you are a special breed
i really admire the stuff you guys deal with
I just knew I couldn't do it! I wanted to become an epidemiologist. But think about the gross bodily fluids involved in that.
thank you for not putting special in quotes - lol
most epidemiologist never see that stuff, ori - go do it!
Well, I AM 62 now - a little late in the game :D
47
not my age, how many words left
I'm forty six :D
liar liar pants on fire!
well .. parts of me are 46
are the n's hard or is it the gin, rye, and rum?
only one N is tough
I am so in trouble then
I imagined myself running around in the jungle solving problems about disease vectors :D
I have only found 3
well, I hope you chose something equally as exciting, ori... it makes me sad if people aren't allowed to follow their dreams
i followed my dreams of being a cork dork
Once I am fully retired, I am going to finish my MS in math
good for you, ori!!! seriously, I think that is wonderful
you are never too old to learn, grow, change course, or give back
46!
*hands out Kleenex*
The end goal being to totter into a community college in my old age and teach calculus :D
well, don't get choked up ,ru... I still have 46 to go
do it, ori
i'll be taking kayak lessons in Campbell River
there is a program called experience corps (like peace corps) using retired adults to go back and teach
Working on brushing up on some stuff in preparatin
I'd love to teach at Berkeley again
That sounds like a good plan, ru :D
people live so much longer these days... no need to stop at 65... go do something you have always wanted to do!
(here is the sad thing: I'm pretty sure I have the one weird N, which means I just can't see my last 3)
haha
ok... I need to go to bed
I won an award for Teaching at UC
Nice ru!
night then kje.. great to chat.. rest well
that;s great, ru !
See ya' kje
i was shocked
but seriously...bed... good night ru and ori - I have enjoyed your company
night night.. sleep well
Me too, kje. Sleep off those drinks :D
Teaching the wine biz, ru?
classes in French wine areas actually
Nice
I won Instructor of the year for Arts, Letters, and Sciences for the entire Berkeley system.. there were other instructors of the year for Math and other subjects
who knew?
Wow! That's really awesome.
i was flabbergasted
i really always wanted to be a teacher.. it just never worked out for me
Well, you were!
I'm going to go scrounge up makings for a tuna sandwich. Back at the flip.
later ori..
hello everyone :)
