hello everyone :)
hey we get the 6 kinda version of that all the time, nice to finally see the 8!
hi nan
has the other 8 been called?
let's see.... yeah, just looked back, sn8
all the 9s have been called as well
sq, si, pa, ma
yes - I have all the 9's -- was issing the sn 8
the latter two of those are both names of House episodes
too tired -- will look for the sn 8 tomorrow
Thanks nan. Hope you had great holidays.
ta, nan. Happy new year, yall!
And to you, dc seain.
found it -- good night everyone
g'night, nan.
phantom: decrepit
yes, rather a lie, that.
ha
pe4's trick is to ask a clue, then find the word. now we need to add pulling a cnan to the list - saying "too tired, will look tomorrow" and that makes you find the word too, lol
LOL
How did you know I did that, hurshy?
i didn't, i just know cnan does it
if i thought it was you i'd have said it was pulling a magee
Lol!
good morning all
Good morning! How are you today?!
*hugs Kam* Good to see you, dear one. I am okay. Getting back on my feet after the december agony. I even slept through the night! How are you doing?
phantom: sincere
Glad you slept thru! I'm missing Michael. He's still with dad - unknown when they will find 24/7 care. Sister wants to stick him in a home...that would be the end, so we wait.
always such tough decisions. I think it is great Michael helps his dad as much as he does. But it is hard on you.
It's hard on both of us! He's so bored - and there is no internet connection at dad's - told him he needs to get one if he has to spend so much time over there!
indeed! Can't he make a wifi hotspot with his mobile?
brb
He only has an old flip phone, told him to go buy a smart one. I just had to get my desk back under control...two wet cats - eight wet feet - just marched across the desk!
roflolllll never a dull moment with pets
cooee {{{{{sprite}}}}}} {{{{{{kam}}}}}}
so true! and one is really missing his daddy!
cooee rose!
*grin* love ot kam
our dog had to get used to a new routine... he has to take heart medicine one hour before eating... which means in the morning... at half past 5, when Rob gets up. I get up at 6 to keep Terra company till half past 6, when he gets his breakfast...
ugh... IT
*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend, good evening to you. How are you doing?
not too bad actually. a/c is on overtime... lolll. so long as i don't do too much, pain is manageable.
critters aren't fond of change
I hope that means you are not doing much...
and you dearest sprite? have the nerves and pains settled from new year's?
rose, your ac is on OT, my heater is on OT and won't keep this house warm tonight
where is the happy medium? lol
Terra is taking it pretty well, actually. He goes back to sleep after getting his pill now, lies at my feet. As soon as I move, he jumps up and looks at me with those eyes that say: BREAKFAST NOW?
aww poor kam. *sending very warm thoughts your way*
getting there, rose. I slept through the night. Only nightmares in the early morning this time. Still a bit tense and very tired.
*mixes Kam and Rose in a bowl and hands both the halfway temps*
and * gentle hugs and butterfly kisses for sprite*
{{{sprite}}}
happy new year! It's suddenly 3AM here and i'm not sure how that happened. But litter boxes are scooped and the trash is out for collection.
ta honey. nudges kam... she's not too bad for a friend, is she?
Random times happen to all viola players...
thanks, both of you :) On the large scale of things, my issues are no biggies.
*giggles* You know it, rose...
yahooo... ~~~~ HAPPY NEW YEAR ~~~~~ seain, may 2019 bring all you need.
But, in your life, sweetie, they are issues! Like my car still being in the shop - on the grand scale of life, no biggie, but I do want my car back
you sure need your car, Kam, being out in the outback like you are
and true, but let's face it... one month out of 12 in major stress is 11 times better than some people. My body can give me hell but I can still walk. And with a loving husband and two great kids, and lots of true friends... I am blessed.
I have a rental - no pets allowed...haha! I have to get the back windows washed and all the dog hair out before I can return it. I have good seat covers, and thank goodness the seats are leather so hair won't stick. It's actually ok, but it's not mine
Oh was that outback a pun about my Outback that's in the shop ;)
glad you have a rental. And what the rental company does not know, it won't mind :D
for puns we need our ruru
lol... I feel so smart and such an experience babbler when I spot pt- words straight from the start
really! I had one with cloth black interior last time, and I had to transport the dog then too. My car is the doggie transporter!
brb. need to start tomorrow's washing tonight. with the temp. heading for 40C tomorrow, i figure don can hang it in the coolth of the morning, or even after sunset tonight.
I've been doing the grid during the day recently, and when ruru gets going...omg, it is so funny!
indeed, rose. Should dry between taking it out of the washer and reaching the washing lines, lol
ugh, must have been quite a job to get the car doghair-free that time!
Rose, my laundry is soaking overnight because it's just too cold out there!
Two hours!
Not too bad, will be faster this round
pfui!
phantom: recede
and ampere
tried ampere
*grins* And?
haha!
qs quonquerred
firewords! You take care, sprite - and I hope you sleep quietly all night long tonight. For Rose, when she gets back, keep cool!
wtg Kam! Sleep well, and stay warm :) *sending sweet dreams and cuddly thoughts*
WTG KAMANJAH !!
in case you didn't guess... i'm baaack.
wb honey
whew !! okay first load on, second load sprayed and nits soaking. tabs ready, bag ready for hydro, i'm pooped... loll
lol silly girl! Relax... take your time... be sweet to your poor body
nits??? B...its.... rofloll
was thinking I had to look up nits, thinking it would be something like very dirty undies
lolll... people get confused with the te4. nits are the EGGS of lice, not live lice.
yeah that meaning I knew. The very dirty undies one would have been new to me :P
very dirty undies would be when they don't stick to the wall ?
while wearing them or not?
lolll... gives a new meaning to keep your back to the wall, yes?
and to cliffhanger
oh my...*collapsing into breathless giggle*
*grins*
another nightshift tonight. The early one, which is nice. I can sleep after :D
poor girl, but i think you are enjoying the work?
yes I enjoy it. It is good to be there for other people, to listen to them from the heart. And I do not mind the nightshifts.
wow, once you find one of the biggies, you find them all :D
yeah. i am guessing day shift would have a lot of distractions too.
yup, that suffix is great.
I do a dayshift each month too. Not a lot of difference in distractions, we have a nice little office. But usually another kind of convos. Day shift has a lot of people who just want to talk, no real issues, just lonely. Nightshift has many intense topics.
ahh! i guess the wee small hours tend to bring issues to the fore front of thinking.
fireflies. Very enjoyable grid!
WTG SPRITE !!
in the night, problems usually seem bigger to start with. Add to that the fact that big problems tend to mess with people's sleeping and you will have many tough issues during the night.
those people are so blessed to have you on the other end of the phone line, sprite.
thank you, sweetie :) I am proud to be part of a team of good people!
darn... dinner ready. see you tomorrow dearest. luvsya. HUGS
*warm hug* for my bestie. Sleep well tonight, and enjoy your dinner now :)

Tartuffe
so period costuming?

allll day. No zippers, as close to authentic as possible, though I DID get the director to relent and let us use some synthetic fabrics here and there.

not gonna say anything about the Doctor Who new year special except, WHAT?? you haven't seen it yet?? LOL
ty matty. I went Babble blind on that one. And my monkeys have been doing so well today.
i don't care for moreword. too complicated
No - we were out Tuesday night, then Jeff's daughter was here last night and tonight...so no chance yet. Arrrgggh

off now, need another nap
Have a great day

ty to all of the cluers.
Good night all.
help with either de6/24 pls
Pretending you are someone you are not is de6/24
ty Molly
You can de6/24 one thing from another when you look at them closely
There are 4 de6/24 but I thought those might be the ones you were asking about
The second clue is an alternate, Scot spelling
Dinty
Angel, you are in the wrong box for entering words.
i seem to be doing my post holiday cleaning by eating all of the cookies today.
Enjoy - we've been enjoying your olive oil, sea salt, choc chip cookies here :)
firewords! thanks lickety and Molly and all cluers
Congrats, Dan
qu 7 pls?
qu7 - five prefix + most of frozen water
Isn't that qu ^?
qu 6
qu6 is five prefix + vowel
I have a qu 6/30 for the one you clued.
This comes after the one ending in British thanks
The qu 7 I mean.
confusing here. I need the qu 7 - the one after the British thanks. I think the qu 6 is the one ending in most of frozen water.
so we're using a different prefix
qu5uplets are five siblings born at once
add a vowel for qu6, add a different vowel and a consonant for qu7
Ah! Thanks. Needed to add the extra consonant.
Good evening. May I please have a clue for in7-40? Thanks
It is good that you in7ed about that
You can in7 again if you don't get my clue
in7 pls
got it ty
Thanks for helping, Molly.....I am still looking.
Cannot see it, Molly. Please dumb it down......brain is still not working at full capacity.

Good Evening
dire
hi nef
Oops. Sorry.
Hi circe.
I'm not too crazy about this grid; I haven't found any 8's or 9's yet.
once you see the ending, you'll find them pretty quickly.
but agree, this grid has been a rough one for me too
let me know -- I am not good at clues, but I can try
so that's my problem? (I can't see any special endings yet; no gerunds; just the PT
hi everyone
pretty much as they are all normal words. want a hint?
hi jen
Hi kiddos
hi
Nef - ET 8/50 seems like forever...
Hi Jen, ori, & danf
nice clue dan!
Two of the 9's have to do with parentage
THanks, dan!
I got that clue years ago, always remembered it
Thanks tori! I got both of those :-)
((((((((NEF HUGS))))))) hello all! *scatters choclits*
hi stid!
Hiya stids
you're welcome Nef
Hi study! How are you?
(and sorry ori, spell check is my headache
:D
I am well -- and miss you all! brb
study??? STID!
I could use help with the Q's. I have 7 of them.
I only have 4 Q's so far
back -- and study is actually pretty accurate, Nef -- have been ill most of vacation and only now feeling up to figuring out lessons for next week and beyond. :-)
down to 174 already! :-D
Go, stid!!! :-D
I have 150 left
21...sigh
I have 151 left (& have been summoned by my clothes dryer; BRB)
148...
back. (Not many of these clothes need folding before zI work on this Babble grid!) ;-)
finally fw. anyone need anything before I go prep lasagna?
YAY circe!!! WTG!!!
Hi Stid...My sister says hello
Oh! Hey stid; I'm now volunteering at my grandsons' elementary school tutoring a 3rd grader 3- 4 hours a week. I started volunteering because our grandson was being bullied last month; and I'm enjoying it tremendously!
BRB, I need to switch laundry loads
What fun, nef! Sorry -- I have been back and forth this evening.
LOL Hey Dan -- hello to her right back!
Why isn't she playing, anyway? *looks around for DR*
I have no idea...I only started up again recently myself
"pieris" is SO a valid word. *stomps feets* if "ilex" counts then pieris ought to also.... *grin* watching Harry Potter and channeling Madam Sprout, I think!
Well, glad to see you. I don't play much anymore either.
Glad to see you too. Closing up the office and heading home. I'll keep an eye out for you
Drive safe. :-) Happy new year!
Hi again, stid. It is fun tutoring on a voluntary basis; I'm doing 3rd grade math & it's really changed since I was that young!
yay me! just got halfway!
YAY, stid!!! WTG!
Hello Nef! Yes, it is definitely more fun when volunteering... LOL and for some reason it always seemed more useful.
Well, i'm sure it helps to be 1 on 1 with a child instead of the whole class.
and NBT! :-)
down to 100
YAY!! stid!! You can do it!!
Yes, 1 on 1 allows for instant "just right" help. I love being able to do that, but not possible very often as the teacher.
ooh. Got a VERY long-term 8!
I can imagine! And I've been surprised that present day teachers seem to maintain their sanity these days; kids are just so BUSY now-a-days
They really are -- but there is a two-fold reason (beyond the exposure to disrupting chemicals and too much screen time). One is that laws now require schools to accept kids for kindergarten (or first grade) based on age alone, whether the child is actually ready for that grade; I generally have about 1/3 to 1/2 my class who would not be out of place a year back, but who struggle with both behavior and attention span.
between the educational delays and then the social situations of the kids I've seen, I don't know how kids can learn at all!
The other factor is that the standards themselves are really not appropriate in the younger grades. We are asking third graders now to begin to grapple with abstract concepts and complex steps that most kids are really ready for until 6th or 7th grade. Not all the current standards are so out of whack, but many are... it means that students who are really very age and stage appropriate learn early on that nothing will be comprehensible or possible.
anyway, I am tired and have to be up EARLY for a dentist appointment (joy -- not!). Have a wonderful rest of the week, and Happy New Year!
The first day this child (who was in a year-round school; but transferred in in December & is hopelessly behind the rest of the class) the math paper wanted her to "define a rhomboid"and a dodecahedron! (I actually had to look those terms up afterwards; I know what they are but to explain it to a child who hasn't any concept of that
Happy New year to you also, stid! I'm quitting also; once the clothes dryer is done, I'm heading to bed also.
FW here
YAY, peach! WTG!!!
Good Night; & Happy Babbling to you all!
