Morning sprite
we are close to an -ing grid, I see
hiya Sam :) How are you doing today?
Struggling, really. It's a difficult grid.
glad I have time to play today then :)
Yes, I think you'll have fun with it.
a bit of fun and a bit of frustration, no doubt
name that proper noun, wood and ent in LOTR.
Treebeard? ;)
that is the right one, but you need his entish name
Fa4orn
that is the one! DINGDINGDING Sam wins the toaster!
I had to slog to get halfway on this grid, and now I seem to be completely stalled with 96 left. For whatever reason this grid is like pulling teeth to me.
cooee and g'day {{{{{{spritey}}}}}}} {{{sam}}}
some grids are like that! I find the grids with few or no series the toughest.
*hugs ro4* Hello my dear friend, how are you today? And how is Don?
Heya rose! It's nice to see the both of you here at the same time.
i have been feeling very tired. i think it must be the third oxycodone CR.
no doubt, honey. Puts you in a haze of sleepiness. But better than too much pa4.
don is doing very well and being very considerate re how i am feeling at the moment. checking always to make sure i am okay. its such a comfort to have how i am feeling acknowledged.
about f*%*$ing time, if you ask me ;) But yay for him finally getting it.
*wry grin* yeah. too true
amen, Sam :) Sometimes it is tough to synch our schedules.
hey sam. apologies for missing your greeting. such a lovel greeting too. i feel so welcomed.
Speaking of that, it's past time for me to go to bed. See y'all later! Enjoy catching up!
sweet dreams, Sam! It was nice to see you!
sweetest of dreams dear sam
your SIL is in the grid, I see
roflolll... yup. and lucky you... she is flying your way soon to visit "cousins" in scotland. she does not seem to get she is not blood-related to them. and wonders while don and i got the royal treatment when she and her DH have not
how silly. Then again, she is not known for her getting the finer nuances.
I will wave at her in passing :D
oh i gave her your address....
roflollllll
I can picture how that will go... "welcome Fa4! And now that I have you here, there are a few things I'd like to say to you..."
you don't believe me ???? such a shame...
she will get the royal pain in the ass treatment
oh how lovely !! i am quite jealous. all i got was the royal queen treatment.
oh, if you insist, I can change things for your next visit
DON'T YOU DARE !!!!
*giggles* Thought so.
hey, did you notice ??? my favourite drink is in the grid, thanx to a certain dutch person who so gently introduced me to it.
thanks! Didn't have it, now I do. Gosh, can't wait till we can share drinks again. Even though I normally do not drink alcohol, I very much enjoy sharing drinks with you, my friends :D
how close are you to finishing? it's getting late here and i need to prepare my meds.but i can wait a few if needed.
oh no, sweetie, I still need 90 words. Go ahead and rest up. *hugs* and lots of love.
back until dinner ready.
welcome back :)
Sam is right, it is not an easy grid
not it's not. no runs or words which connect with ea4 other
exactly
i hear the microwave beeping. goodnight dearest. xoxox
enjoy your dinner, darling, and sleep well *hugs* for you and for Don
I found the fish
I found a sea but it does not alow it.
*hugs zooz* Hello dear man! Good to see you. How are you doing? And are your parents holding steady?
sorry, I was making breakfast and got sidetracked... cleaned the kitchen and cut Rob's na4s.
enable is nothing if not inconsistent
I also found Terra :D
found him twice
hm, found a sea that is valid, zooz
Hi, Sprite. making a cup of tea. Mine is the Caspian sea.
What does yours begin with?
Parents are holding on. so that is a blessing. Hope all is well with you?
Anyone have the stats for the lone O please?
I think I am all alone in babbleland.
ther is an og 6 and an oh 4 and 5
Has to be the OG word then. Many thanks, Ivesy.
sure . anytime
It is Zoom
Thanks, Molly :-)
Ah found it! Thank you once again. Should of known it as it is what I look like when I get up in the mornings :-)
I hear you Zoom. That "morning look" can be scary some days. : D
Managed to get below the 100 mark but it is really slow going now.
Well I have 87 words left.Will come back later with refreshed eyes and hope to find some more words. Happy babbling everyone!
Name that Proper Noun: American composer
hmmmm, not Copland, not Gershwin—hint? era? first letter?
Gershwin Era. He is known especially for just one composition. First letter - G
Grofe?
Very Excellent! You win a tour of the Grand Canyon!

That was definitely a question for the cognoscenti. I'm impressed!

Some tough words today...

ends with a plot of lines
thank you Bea!
Not a great clue, but it worked.
It was perfect :)
I need the right bottom corner E word for nbt/nbs

lolol
thank you!
Its early on a Saturday...
And I slept like crap here on my mom's couch
Visiting DC?
yup
We're going to lunch with a friend and also my cousin today, an Indian buffet. Should be yummy!
I have not eaten much Indian food. I need to give it a try.
Indian food is great if you stay away from Vindaloo
Its very flavorful, some people are afraid because there are some spicy dishes, but there are plenty of mild dishes too.
Like tandoori
What is Vindaloo
We love Tandoori salmon
It's marinated in yogurt and spices, then roasted in a clay oven.
Vindaloo is probably the hottest dish I have ever had. My head blew off.
I'm not sure of what Vindaloo is, but it's damn hot
It's a fiery spicy hot curry.
I like Chicken Tika Masala the best.
That would probably be my choice.
Yup, me too
I like all the eggplant dishes too.
And lots of naan.
I love eggplant.
Yummmmmmmmm the naan bread is to die for!
now I'm salivating
Well I'll come back later and report on our lunch. It's a buffet so I plan on tasting every dish.
My ex husband liked vindaloo. I used to keep a jar of VIndaloo spiced sauce in the refrigerator and would fry up some meat for him in it. Easy to do
We have a lot of eggplant from the garden in the summer.
Baingan bharta is such a delicious eggplant dish. Now I want Indian food today too
Dorens, that the eggplant dish I order frequently. So yummy.
Hi kids!
I want to go to the Indian restaurant tonight
Everyone come over! We're going to Haandi Indian restaurant in Falls Church, Va.
hi Scrabs
Hi Scrabbler!
I will be there in about 10 hrs.
lol Scrabs
Hi scrabbler. Monkey I'll be in Winchester VA tomorrow. too far though and too late
Aw sorry dorens, come back the weekend before Xmas and I'll be here again then.
I'm seeing Meryl Streep and Stephen Colbert tonight! No good Indian food in Newark though
I love eggplant. My Italian grandma made the best eggplant parmagiana.
Hi all! May I have stats, please, for the i (eye) in the first column?
Aaand....I found one
in4/4
Pinned a recipe for baingan bharti. Will give it a shot this summer.
matty, the other I is the 8.
Oh, peachy :D
is it in8?
is8
Can I have a nudge, please?
It is from the center I.
Ends with a dot and line plot
I guessed it would be, as it's the only i near an S ;)
Thank you most kindly!
YW.
93 left...off to start my day...
not getting the clue for the is8 hi all
I still don't have any 7sss.... Peri - the second part of the is8 is a type of paper with little squares on it rather than lines
ty matty found it
I have no 7's either
i have two of them fa7/44 and pa 7/32
Aaah - should have seen that FA
not seeing the pa though
italian, builds off pa 6/21
Aah, don't have the 6/21 dammit
pariana
I have a 6/21...
it's here fairly often, sometimes spelled with E as third letter, this time alternative
Ahh - so maybe not building from the 6/21 I have...hang on
I think it's an Italian word for peasant?
yup
found it, thanks to monkeys. Thanks
more literally, fellow countryman
sort of like the Russians say comrade
What ever happened to My name is Hannah
stomach rumbling - time to make some breakfast - enjoy the day!
I don't think she was what she said she was
And what did she say she was
she claimed to be a teenager
There are tons of profiles who say they are a 10-year-old or other (obviously) incorrect age.
she was always waiting for a bus
Hannah said she was a teenager in chat. My profile says I'm 6 because that is how I feel most days. : D
Oh I see. That's totally different.
She also suffered from multiple Babble personalities
Poor Cos. He pretty much lost it when "Hannah" compared losing her cat to him losing his husband. And yes Origami, "Hannah" did log on as several different people.
I can't keep track of one persona (which is, in fact, my own), let alone that many
She blew her cover in the end and was another fake
How did she blow her cover? It sounds all very mysterious ;)
It wasn't that mysterious Matty. It was pretty obvious that the "Hannah" person was a fake from the beginning.
she created a couple of personalities and they started talking to each other and then she admitted she wasn't a 10 year old girl and said another age.. but it was all BS right from the get go
my guess is it was that same group of guys that knew JC and Neil and Fauxmage... they seem to have a fascination with pulling people's legs here
color me gullible !
hello...it could be none of us are who we say we are.
It was better than the Nancy Boyhoax
people fall for a lot of things here
stats for the upper E pls
There are people who get their jollies pretending to be what they are not on the internet.
sorry, don't have it phae

clue pls bichon for the oh6?
Hi all.....been following the chat with interest....and yes its so true...that we can be anyone we want on the internet.....personally I don't see the point!
I guess some people crave attention
hello, all
third column o?
Yes...sad but true bichon
A lot of people crave attention. My 23 yr old grandson does silly inane things to get attention from his older siblings
mlf...that is the og6
oops...that is 13 yr old not 23
lol phaeton
... third column o ... og6/27 ... like shrek
well...the 23 yr old is not too much better lol
i can say that i did not appreciate being accused of having an 'alternate' identity
got it
We all know that you are a trout, welki.
'tis true, i am but a fish.
ru, I see a gr5.14 waiting for you in the grid. Have to scoot now, trying to get started in pickleball !
Enjoy, Aloy.
heading out skiing/snowshoeing today, scrabs?
I should, for a bit, although I have an art show tomorrow and need to make some holiday items.
it will be a bit for you to go skiing welki won't it?
I am going to pull welki on a sled.
4th column o?
oh yeah - will be a bit before i can walk without some assistance
oo4
Scrabs how did that last show go?
... goes with aahs and
ol5/10
scrabbler pulling me on a sled - i'd better pack an ied
I want to see the video
ty scrab
hahaha - aed
I gtg will be back....
o
I made $20 and got an order for $30 (which I need to make.) It cost $50 for the space, I bought lunch, and I drove 160 miles round-trip. So, financially negative, but I had fun.
lol @ ied
oo
oo
oo, oo, aa
Scrabs I wish you better luck at the next one!
sorry about that
are you guys talking monkey language?
ting tang walla bing bang
This one is 5 miles away, where we do our farmers market from May-Sept, but it is inside the outreach center.
huh...forgot a walla in there
just following does...;-)
I need to make holiday items so I bought some tiny ornaments to put on new art.
Scrabs, if you're interested in traveling to the Norfolk area, check out the Facebook page for the Stockley Gardens art show. You would love it!
9.5 miles drive but 50K visitors may make it worthwhile.
i can imagine the pieces you might make for this show - little evergreens with those ornaments on them - perfect!
I need to become very productive soon, but this hypothyroidism issue has me wanting to sleep a lot.
I must resist going back to bed.
you're on synthroid? might take a while for you to find the perfect dose
(and this time of year, with lack of daylight, makes us tired in general)
I just increased to 100 mcg yesterday and I suspect I will end up on 150-200
is8/60...clue please?
lemme think - who's the babbler who keeps reminding me about "baby steps?" *points at scrabbler*
This process is so slow--bloodwork every 4-6 wks, increase the dose, more bloodwork, etc. I am working hard at the YMCA though and have lost 2 of the many lbs I gained over the summer.
flask...ends with a paper with little squares
Flask--a previous clue given was confusing to me, so I cannot help
TY, phaeton. Some clues make sense to others, some clues make sense to the cluer only.
i can't wait to get out and move - just taking a walk around the block would be a treat. i'm getting there, though - i get tired, but can do a little more every day
yw scrabs
Excellent.
by the time i can walk 'normally,' i'll be ready to retire, mentally and physically
(at least, that's my plan)
I am mentally ready to retire, but no financially.
thanks Scrabbler and phae....
* not
*shrug* it is what it is, i'll get by
I'm looking forward to really cutting back in two years
We must keep moving forward.
Well, I finally passed halfway. I must get to work on art.
unless someone has diligently put all their dough into funding their retirement, and not into helping family members and paying off med school, mortgage and regular bills, the idea of retirement is daunting to many
enjoy the productivity, scrabs - and the skiing, too, if you get out in the white stuff
<gets the helping family members
yeah, me too. if i could only have that money in my bank account....
Good summary, welki. I gave lots of money away to family members over the last 30 years. It will never be repaid but that is ok.
I got the is8 guys! And am not telling anybody what it is.....ESPECIALLY ru!!...lol
Good on you, Flask!
inro
ooooh noooooooooooooo.....sorry!!!
but you will tell us other ones flask :D
lol....I never seem to fail!!!

I can't get the pa7 no matter what I try.
add a vowel Dianne..
assuming she has the 6...
Which is an informal form of greeting meaning "countryman"
(Grew up in RI and heard this used a LOT)
Thank you - I was looking at the wrong word.
The way it is spelled here is not the Italian spelling. That may be confusing some.
well I don't have the 6 and I don't know either word. so..
eventually:)
you do mlf.. you're just not thinking of it
It's what you call Italians
It's what Italians call each other
put the extra vowel on the end
As in, "Hey, pa____, how's the mom? Does she still make the best manigot'?"
I put an e on the end and the words don't work. It should end in o?
i meant a
ends in o. can't end in a
at least not on this grid
i got the 7

Starts like a well educated person, ends with two vowels
ty Molly new word for me
still don't see the gi7
gi6 biloba
I saw that clue earlier but cannot get the spelling right
really? there's kinda only one way to do it, with the letters in the grid placed the way they are. there are 3 consonants in a row, followed by vowel at the end
ginko is no in the grid
sorry if that sounded insulting - spend all week talking to little kids, pushing them to think...
right, so you need to get from the k to the o
by putting another consonant
have a go at it
I got it
ty

hi again - back once more after a day out :)
Hi Nan. My day's just beginning here. Hope you've had a lovely day out.
yes -- drove to a neighbouring town to do some antique shopping
Did you find anything interesting?
nothing we could use
A shame, but at least it sounds like you had a fun day.
ch 6/24 please?
ch 6/24 - to opt to do something
ty - too twisty for me to see :)
It took me a while, which is stupid because I'd just got the past tense of the word.
jane austen spelt it with a u
that was before spelling became standardized
poor tom is getting hung again today
Not so standardised now, when you look at what I just wrote and what you wrote! US / UK differences!
still, it's way more standardized than it WAS. like, for instance, when you research people in England during the Tudor period or earlier, people's NAMES don't even have just one spelling. they would get written down all sorts of different ways and nobody seemed to think anything of it.
we did have a good day, liz
Good to hear, nan.
stopped in at a fish shop and bought a really nice looking crab quiche for supper
Yes, of course you're right, Hurshy. I was just having fun.
Firewoks
