i feel like usually people tend to know WWII era stuff
it's a popular era
It depends on your age. When I was young it wasn’t history yet!
but wouldn't that make you more likely to know it? if you lived through it?
i mean, granted, FDR and Truman didn't play as big a role in things as Churchill
I didn’t. I’m just post war, when people wanted to forget.
ahhhhhh

Hello all
I am a happy player, baseball is back...yes, it's only spring training but I'll take it.
I have finally gotten to nbt. Still 113 left.
I think the last few grids have been rather hard to locate the words.
Hiyas, kids!
Hello, Judi.
I wanted 'triangly' to be a word lol
i'd be geometrically opposed to that Zooz
Don't be square, Ruru lol
Yay! I found the bat shit!
I liked how Ruru and pun was in the grid yesterday!
LOL nice, Judi!
i don't gu5 know about that judi
Batting a thousand.
vampire of the vanities
I have 5 words that start with the first 4 letters of that word.
Including the 4.
god.. finally found my last s.. took forever
Nice, Ru!
hi all
Hello, Libarebel.
I thought that ant*rum might be a teetotaler...
hey zooz
take away the asterisk liba and you have a word
just starting-- worked last night
Hello, Jaxx.
Hi, Zoom
oh! ty jaxx
How goes it on the I ofW
So-so, Jaxx. How about you?
Phantom: Gigilo.
having a few physical problems but trying to ignore them. I have had enough of doctors in the past three years
Change. One of the vowels, Judi.
Super. Thanks, zooz!@
Sorry to hear that, Jaxx.
I am finding this grid slow going.
Don't cha just get sick of them, Jax. Confirmed what I figured. Need ankle surgery to repair achilles problem. Need back surgery (again!) to fix bulging disc, etc. that is causing nerve pain in my back, leg & groin. **** eye roll ***
I blame old age, Judi, it sure hasn't come alone here
My mother has diverticulitis really bad she has had enough of doctors too.
Alas. Must get it all taken care of while I still have the health care coverage through work.
Ouch! Sorry to hear that, Judi.
She has my sympathy. The cancer op means I have to have a colonoscopy annually and that always sets me back.
that'd be a pain in the ass for sure
Back problem causing most pain. So, I guess I'll get that done first. Good news is, spine doc who did my first surgery can do the next surgery.
It definitely is, Ru
Yeah as soon as she eats up it comes again.
Mine is the other end.
Oh Ru, you do make me smile.
Lilterally, Ru. L3 - S2. Lowest lumbar to sacral area. Don't imagine I'll be sitting down too much afterwards.
Yeah it is both ,Jaxx.
The curse of sitting at a desk for 30+ yeras.
My husband was a trawlerman and salmon netsman and that has taken a similar toll on him
Is it sitting wrong for 30 years, Judi?
No, Zooz. Combination of daily compression, arthritis, stenosis. Bone overgrowth from first surgery. Blah blah blah.
((Judi))
sounds rough you guys
But first, vacation. I'll hobble around Arizona and get some damn sun before I'm stuck in a hospital at at home.
I have three more words for the 100 and I have decided That's enough.
Good going, Jaxx
make that 2.
an 7,40 is not in Enable— I wonder if it’s a new word reflecting the real national emergency in the US?
We're having fun here with Brexit. It's all happening
Getting on my nerves. Probably got another two years of it too.
Ah but will anything change, Libarebel.
I suspect politicians have for gotten that thye represent us and our taxes pay their inflated wages and expenses. They also think the electorate are braindead.
Good question (sigh)
But the Nov. Blue Wave proved that some of us are paying attention...
1 more word to 100
You mean most of them represent themselves and say they represent the people, Jaxx :-)
Exactly. They want to get their snouts in the EU trough.
i propose that here in the US when there is another government shut down.. to also not pay Congress and the Senate.. that should speed along resolution
That is a good idea, Ru
Ha! Yeah like that's going to happen.
At lest some staff get a McDonalds from trump.
Least*
When the next General election gets here we should repeat the voting until we get the result we want - a logical extension of the second referendum debacle.
I understood that was because the staff who usually cook for banquets etc wre not able to work.
were, even
Maybe one of his Big Macs will be the last straw for DT-- but, as a person who tries to be good, I can't wish it on him, but neither would I cry...
ru 6/27 pls
I voted to stay in. But the majority of people voted to leave so that is what should happen. Iam not happy about it but I respect the decision.
my grammar is a bit off today...
As a retired fisherman's wife and the debacle over fishing grounds, I voted out.
Hi zoozzoom. Same thing happened in 1933 inGermany
Ru +opp of stop first two letters of the day after friday.
so nice that you can trust & respect a fair election, zooz-- we have Russian interference here...
Thanks, Zooz. That's my 100 so I am off now. Have a good babble and chat. Bye
the parallels in US with 1933 Germany is truly chilleng...
*chilling*
Take care, Jaxx. Good to see you.
bye jaxx
I am using my xbox to babble today and it is taking an age to type a sentence!
Hello, Akazev,Nice to meet you.
test
Working fine, Dorens.
Bailing out wiht 29 left. Off to do loathesome chores.
Hope the chores go quickly for you!
ty zoozzoom
Most welcome.
Okay that is me done for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!
can't get even 1 ci-- any clues?
There are no ci words
but there are cL words
aunt
sorry
oh jeez-- put on glasses & saw that what I thought was an "i" is an "l"-- d'oh!
I have done the same
thanks for clarification, artdr-- no wonder I couldn't find any!
Ur welcome
ty, clg47-- I don't feel as "toopid"!
I don't think anyone that is addicted to Babble is 'toopid' because we are on a quest to learn. The hard part is trying to remember the unique and seldom used words.
you are right, clg47-- Babblets & obscure words as well
Thanks to artdr-- I now have all cl words!
I do look up all words that I monkey & don't know-- I can then justify sitting on my butt & babbling as educational...
gu6/30 pls
going to a potluck soon. have not been to one in a very long time. bring black bean and corn salad
44 left may finish when I get back.
gu6/30 - shooter
Oh my goodness. This is a tricky grid.

hi...
This grid may be the winner for "most full of ridiculous words"

I have no interest in finishing grids like this. It's not a challenge to "find a bunch of words you have never heard of before" for me.
i can understand that...
getting to feel the same way, molly

The pink one with the amazing scent that grows by the ocean all through New England
