Of course.....
So heartbreaking....
hi ruru I am sorry to hear you lost your Chelsea. We lost our golden Chelsea in 1995 and it still hurts. She was our angel.

Yes, lots of those too.
well, I was thinking of India as a place but then I thought maybe her name is India.
i got half of them easily....
Carla, I was doing my Scrabble turns. We still have a lot of snow but today and tomorrow's temperatures will ruin it. Yesterday I hiked in the woods with microspikes as snowshoes were not needed.
the other half are proving elusive
Winter is over here. Supposed to be 70 here tomorrow
I think that was ru who asked, but I am glad to hear from you too!
Oh, ruru asked that question.
70!
Do you hike alone, Scrabs or in a group.
I go alone unless my sister is visiting. There are trails at the adjacent park, and a cross-country ski trail, so I see people there.
Does your cell phone have bars out there
A couple of my friends go on group hikes with like minded women.
In this park, yes. At another park 5 miles away, no.
There are local clubs that have group hikes.
i lead hikes at home. i havent found a group here in florida though
I'd be afraid to hike alone where therre's no signal
thought I found the 9 but it's not un I thought
I don't hike alone at that park, bichon, with no cell signal.
do you need a hint, Carla
not yet, but thanks, bichon
IndiaJan, I live an hour south east of Buffalo, so not far from you.
Hi Everyone, just logged on. India, if you are in Florida for the winter, Sierra Club has some great hiking outings. Maybe one is near you..
so many state parks in FL
Sierra Club has great hikes. Mr. B is a leader [but not in Florida]
My hubs is a Kayak outings leader for S.Club here.

yay for the japanese things or the size of the word list?
size
there is also the japanese compnay which makes airbags
as wellas the janpanese dog.
I'm surprised unr7 is not a word
so it's a very japanese grid
I saw the japanese dog earlier and even tried it
yes, enable is very discriminatory about dogs breeds
I think they are proper nouns
not that enable ever cared about that
i really do not have free time for this large a grid. it goes well for the first 250, then ...

I was thinking the same and am not even that far along, TO

EL 5/12 clue pls?
takis? I thought those were hispanic
yes, they are so fab
are they? i don't recall the letter k in spanish
well, we have a big spanish pop and they're at all the gas stations so I thought they were. there isn't really a k in spanish, you are correct.
considering most prodcugt names are created, who knows?
el5 is e + jar top + vowel
per wikipedia, (under parent Barcel), they used to be Taquis, and they are from Mexico. same company that makes Bimbo bread.

Aldi
Aldi.
ah. there is a bimbo bakery in this town. always makes me laugh
I believe they said da6/33
agreed, every time I see bimbo bread it makes me laugh
bzz thought it was lidl not aldi are they from the same country?
never looked up what bimbo means in spanish
ty hokie
I never heard of Bimbo Bread.
wow, just read Bimbo is the world's largest baking company
i don't know what bimbo bread is either
better to get bimbo bread than get bread, bimbo
I went to the Mexico vs. Iceland soccer friendly in CLT a few years ago and they were just handing out loaves of bimbo right and left.
I think that was the first time I saw it
I have Babble Blindness so I need a break.
definitely helps
hokie ad bzz do either of you eat Nature's Own brand bread?

yes, they did
ke 9/78
we have the disease here. interestingly, it's in the suburbs, not the city, as of now

g e r m s
oh, just found an organ most people have two of of
hokie its good you cant have it we all eat too much of it lol
while working the concert on friday, o kept stepping away from people who would get right up in my face. they were oblivious.
ty hokie
ty for ke 9. if there are any other clues i would love them. ty.
I know, I have called my brother and his family typhoid mary for years. it's like they have no idea how germs work.
what concert?
iasked the Y what there plan was to disinfect equipment and they said they rely on the members. good luck with that.
speaking of concerts, i just heard tht Josh Groban is coming to NC i would love to see him
I saw a video the other day where people were walking down the street and instead of handshakes, they would the tips of their toes together in greeting.
that's wild.
tap the tips of toes
at least you can elbow bump
at my boot camp they have stopped telling us to give each other 5 and say to do chicken wings (elbows) or air 5s
that's true owl
i saw a thing that said we should greet each other with jazz hands
lol
oh heck no
i like jazz hands its like waving hello
I'd ra6 just do the redneck wave (slight nod up)
but its similar to how he deaf applaud
shaking off the germs in my direction ;)
LOL! @ Carla.
i am amazed at how many police officers are not wearing gloves
any clues for the ke 9? ty
I thought you said you got it?
scrool back mkg, just clued
at least the a lot of the ones i saw on Live PD last night were not and some even shook hands
inflammation of the cornea, mkg.
i gave a clue a while back in chat
i looked for the protein, but never saw the 9
Well, there is great evicence for you that PD are not wearing gloves..
oh is THAT why we were talking about diseases!
it's half protein word, inflammation suffix
no.
speaking of spanish, just found the symbol that goes over the ñ
just an aside. i demurred on a great cruise deal acouple of weeks ago. the person who went is sick- with sinus infcetion. i would have been FRANTIC
Thanks for that, Carla
BUT the spanish teacher i worked with last year told me that in spanish that is NOT the word for that accent mark, but for ANY accent mark!
yeah, I think I'm done with cruises
ah, interesting, hurshy
owl YIKES
did not have the anagram for that word
i did not go because i feared the possibility of qarantine on board
yeah, that sounds like the highest level of suckitude
she went, had a great time. great deal
my ex-husband is in self-quarantine because one of his housemates' parents were on that california cruise ship - on a previous cruise right before this one that is stuck offshore - and they tested positive and she saw them after the cruise
owl my husband was just talking about that besides the disease itself what bout food and water?
really. and with the crew sick on the one in CA. who feeds you? room service for 200)/ imagine having an inside cabin
eek, hurshy
they can airdrop stuff in, MLF
hurshy omg
uh uh
just found a horrible hair choice for boys in the 80s, possibly back now
would you want your food damaged ahead of cooking it? who is going to get it if they have to stay in their rooms?
hokie mohawk?
fade?
normal cut with long strand down back
mullet?
I was thinking of that as a type of comb.
oh razor cut on sides?
if that style had a name, i missed it.
or that too?
ok give stat pls
ra7.28
rodent + pony___ ra7/28
ty hokie
ohhhhhhhhhh right
is the comb the one that has that pointy end, bea?
yes
Yes. Used to back comb
UN 7/48 clue pls?
does that mean tease?
now that clue would have registered quickly. generational
this grid is a bit weird, the letters do not quite flow
omg carla lol
i noticed the same thing hurshy
Does anyone here use the laundry detergent sheets?
was going to say the same, seems like some generational differences here :D
I'm a Gain user
:D
YES bea i joined Sheets laundry club recently and it's so fab
un7 is a green and pink crystal. It ends in the flying toy
never even heard of it
what is that?
So how much ist is a month, if you don't mind me asking?
thanks bea
well if we are talking about the same thing it's not monthly, you just buy a box when you need one, and there are fifty sheets, so, if you do one load a week that would last almost a year and it was like, idk, $20?
ty for that un word
i had not heard of this. interesting. i would be more interested in refillable items. schwarzkopf has a deal where you mail back the container
I was looking at them on Amazon. Packages of 50 were around $6, I think.
not seeing how to put that ending on to un
in 7 letters
Add a vowel, carla
well what's great about this TO is that there is no plastic, and it's very light cause no water in the product like normal detergent so it doesn't use too much carbon in shipping it
you might be looking at something a bit different then bea. mine is like super eco-friendly and that's like, the point of it.
if you mean the 48..go fly a K*** hokie lol
I just get tired of thos heavy plastic bottles. And you know, they aren't being recycled.
i did see the household cleaner you add your own water to
in mine, the sheets are ONLY detergent, nothing else, so it just dissolves entirely in the wash
i mistly use pods now.
ah, I thought flying toy was di4 like a frisbee
but i use liquid so i can adjust foe small loads, as a backup
Yes, that is what I was looking at as well, hurshy. It's brilliant.
that was just impossible
Those bottles of detergent are so heavy my mom can hardly lift them. She is usually the one doing laundry.
you can use a half sheet TO, if it was a very small load
pods are great
i will explore sheets.
Yes, but they still come in a plastic container.
the sheets laundry club ones are in a cardboard box
it is one of my favorite new eco products that i am using
ac6 clue pls?
pods come in cellophane like bag
I was making my own powder for a while. borax, arm & hammer washing soda, zote, can't rem. the rest of the ingredients. I would mix it in a 5gal bucket and keep small batches in a big tupperware to scoop from.
I am also looking at the dish soap that comes in a biodegradable tube.
crinkly paper.
a tube?
yes i am going to buy that as soon as my current dish soap runs out!
still waiting for clues for the ke 9 please...........did i miss them?????????
here is another generational thing: anyone remember Salvo?
owl is that for me?
So where does the cellophane go, TO?
mkg you have missed them a few times
yes, several times, mkg
the clues for it
Yes, it has been clued many times mkg.
I do not, TO
inflammation of the cornea
its a eye disease
bea: nearly everything impacts something else. i do what i can, and try not to get too crAZY
ouch. sorry. i think the grid is moving so fast i am missing it.
ty
carla you are too young.
The grid is not moving.
I remember it, TO.
hi all. hurshy I am looking into the Sheets Laundry Club. I still have lot of liquid detergent tho that should last me till next year
got it.
way back in the 60's salvo was detergent in big tablet form
if the grid is moving, mkg needs more coffee
owl crinkly paper?
sorry the chat is moving soo fast.
got the ke. ty
it's like the good old days when there were lots o people and we all chatted so much!
yw thank goodness:)
yes. that kind that is like cellphane, is the packaging for arm & hammer pods
phantom kindly
AC 6 clue please?
i nuy milk in paper cartons and yogurt in glass. i wish they would go back to waxed paper yogurt cups
They are also making shampoo and body wash is biodegradable containers.
Bea. what dish soap comes in a biodegradable tube?
area
i'm using Viori shampoo and conditioner bars now and they are so fabulous
that's a good question peri
I was looking into NoTox life dish detergent which comes in a block
oops. sorry. i am going now. ty
where did yo hear of them?
owl i have only seen one brand of yogurt in a glass jar?
the dish soap i saw in the biodegradable tube was a brand called etee
i like the shampoo bars as well. doesnt spill open in my luggage
never heard of it
mlfan, ac6 is adv form of ac4
*steps into room, glances around*
thank you hokie:)
once facebook got the idea that i was into eco stuff all my ads started being for that so i hear about all these things that way
I don't use commercial shampoo or rinse. But I may see if I can get my mom to switch.
think the stuff that comes out of batteries
*notes word count*
yes. easier to recycle than plastic. some west coast communities have abandoned recycling altogether, because their china deals are kaput
a shampoo bar? i don't think i have seen any of those in the US?
*considers how much she has to do today *
ah, yes,fb.
hi samantha
Yes, that's how I hear about them too, hurshy.
*nopes right tf out of here*
never heard f
See y'all another time. Hi, bye!
hurshy, when I joined a bunch of FB group for sewing, FB kept trying to get me to join a group for people off the grid. ummmm, how off the grid can you be if you have FB
help with either st8 pls
there are lots of shampoo bars in the US, have been for awhile, but idk if any are in stores or just online. i had tried some that i did not really like and then got Viori from their kickstarter
hokie do they do recycling in your neighborhood?
bye sam
never hear of viori
i like the lush bars. you can google it.
they collect it, yes. no idea what they do with it from there, mlfan.
lushusa.com
well viori is new - as i said, i did it through kickstarter. you can google that too
Peri, both st8 are based on the st5.20
ty need to find st5/20
me either hokie i love the fact that they do it but no idea where it goes either
got the st5
peri, they both have to do with something that is st__ like tar or sap
One is more so and the other uses the adverb ending.
I don't live in a town so we pay for trash/recycle pickup with Republic
ty Bea got them both
ty carla
I know a lot of cities are cutting out their recycling programs because they have no place to go woth them.
0
viori is made from rice?
so what are people supposed to do them Bea?
my parents are in a rural area where they have to drive their trash to a dump, their recycling was cut out last year so everything goes in the trash.
hursh, i looked up viori. how many shampoos from a bar?
They go into the landfill, peri.
I live in a RV park for the winter...they do not recycle...unbelievably.
oh the landfill. ok
idk yet TO - i've barely made a dent in mine so far, i feel like it's going to last a really long time
That is why we need to find alternate packaging.
canadian snowbird, huh. I have been to quite a few RV parks - the majority do not recycle.
owl i looked it up too, made form some kind of rice
yep, 5 months a year in Florida...
i have read features sayng that you would not BELIEVE what people put into recycling. i've seen my neighbor put a vaccum cleaner it his hin
i especially love that Viori is giving back to the Red Yao tribe and they are VERY concerned with sustainable packaging and such.
why would he think a vacuum is recycling?
wondering if color sage
becaue it's body is plastic
i really hate having a lot of K words. you just have to type so much random stuff and see what goes
We put stuff like that on the curb and it is gone within 30 minutes.
safe, not sage
nice, will have to look up Viori
does it have a triangle with a number in it? not all that is plastic is recyclable. plus all the parts inside.
Starting a grid in the middle of the night when I can't sleep and then coming back in the morning is a challenge. I try to re-enter all the words from the night before.
same here ori.
yeah, it's hard, origami. but I usually do really well in the middle of the night.
TO, they probably make a shampoo bar that is color safe.
hurshy its not a detergent site but have you ever heard of the little market?
what is that MLF?
not fun origami
lol, now I get the color sage comment. was wondering about TO. :D
i've seen shampoo bars mostly also shower bars, think of them as a male use prodcut
you'd not be the only one. i wonder about myself sometimes
the little market is a website with clothing and other products made by people around the world and some for a caise?
the other shampoo/shower bars i tried, they didn't leave my hair good at all, and also they didn't have scents that appealed to me.
do you have long hair?
that sounds good MLF
I have so much hair I have to have conditioner
i use the lush brand...its smells girly..and they have bars for colour treated as well.
viori has shampoo and conditioner bars, both
i have never purchased anything from them ..kind of expensive but i love looking at the site
That's why I don't use shampoo. My hair is so fine and straight, shampoo just weights it down.
my hair ranges from chin length to long from time to time
I don't wash everyday and sometimes I just cowash, which is just washing with conditioner only
bzz i just want to use a shampoo that is a shampoo none of those weird scents or too specific erlaed
I mean my hair, I do (usually) shower everyday
yeah i had already heard that washing everyday isn't really good for your hair anyway so i don't wash it daily anymore either
hokie i have washed with just conditioner but that wasn't on purpose
do you find you need conditioner with the product? I tend to skip it in favor of a styling product, but some shampoos seem to shrink and tangle hair
well, it is a thing now, mlfan, you can do it on purpose
i used to wash my hair every other day
I clean my hair only a couple times a week.
i do because i run everyday...and i sweat...alot!
i have neve heard if it is good for the hair to just use conditioner by itself or not?
well.. it is humid down there IJ
yep, and i am old so i have to work harder..lol
mlfan, depends on your hair type
true hokie
i use Pert which has a conditioner in it
What is the advantage of using just conditioner to clean?
well, i use the Citrus viori, which apparently is the least moisturizing of their three scent options, so i like to use the conditioner and rub a little extra of it into my scalp to avoid dandruff. if i were using a different one of the Viori scents i might not need conditioner when my hair is on the shorter end, idk. but i am such a fan of fruit scents!
i use redken and put in some argan oil.
i guess its just conditioning it
I can't use the 2in1 like Pert, not enough conditioning
the people who use the other scents have also reported that they smell amazing though
my hairdresser tried that cream, waterless shampoo. tend to weigh hair down and make scalp oily
bea, I think it's so people with thick and wavy/curly hair can skip shampooing daily but still get tangles out. not sure exactly.
LOL! I probably smell like a pickle when I get out of the shower.
hurshy, i visited the site and notice all of the reviews are 5 star.
that makes me wonder. i
i use pert classic clean i have used others but its hard to find just an ordinary shampoo
i've been a product tester and all of our reviews and comments are used. nothing works for everyone.
TO, it's seriously that we all just love it. i'm in a fb group for people who did the kickstarter called "Viori influencers" and based on everything people post, it's just very loved.
100 to go.....off to pick up pet supplies to donate to flood victims! Byeeee
it's also pretty new, so there hasn't been that much time for cranky people to try it, it's mostly people who backed the kickstarter and we might be more likely to be positive, you know?
this coversation has beem most onteresting.
hi une!
wow, well done on both, une
have a great say une
day
i used many shampoos when i was younger and had natual hair. now i have to be more selective
a long time ago, i used Raintree but it made my head itch so stopped using it
owl color or curl?
and like, when someone complained about how slow the shipping was to them in some foreign country and would they please use fedex, they said they considered fedex but fedex makes you place the documentation in a plastic envelope on the outside of the package and so they weren't going to use it cause of their commitment to sustainability. so like, i don't think it's the sort of company that would be at all likely to fake reviews just to get customers, you know?
i used vita fluff. i'll bet you never heard of that.
nope
sounds like a company worth supporting..
Do you have artificial hair, TO? =)
for blondes. made in coral gables FL. my mother used it on me as a child.
lol not yet, bea, bot yet.
vita fluff! fun name lol
that is so cool owl
I will support any company that chooses sustainability.
white glass jar, thick cream
well, I was hoping to reach 200 before a break, but 193 and I gotta go for a few minutes. or hours. who knows.
TTFN
bye hokie
i had a friend over yesterday and she made a point of reminding me to adjust my clocks. i think it's funny cause i was like, yeah, wouldn't want to be late for... sitting in my chair and playing babble! lol
bye carla
😂
hurshy yes that would be so tragic lol
i love that moji
lol i looked up vita fluff and came up with vintage empty jars sold on ebay and etsy.
finally wrapped up the k's..
I just finished the Hs
congrats ruru i am not even close
i ordered something from a company where they give you two free samples of other products with each order. and they only had one that i even remotely wanted, but it automatically would put a second one in my cart and not let me take it out. so i called them up and i said i hate waste, can you please not make it MANDATORY to TAKE TWO samples? and they said i was the first one to say this. i hope more people start caring more about sustainability soon.
I have to roll my eyes at ha7.48...
clue pls?
thanks for that one bea
similar to a head covering
there are a couple of others I've found with that ending
starts with the head covering?
i care. when i look at my recycling each week, i cringe at the plastic. i think they should bring back waxed paper cartons. i buy milk only in cartons
hatlike
That's it!
i just don't buy milk! lol
oh great. the corona person is near my ymca. wonder if she is a member?
ty owl
Do they have a tracker on these people?
you could get a cow but the methane would add to global warming :)
i have been seeing goat milk and oat milk lately
Quick, run out and buy as much toilet paper and antibacterial wipes as you can!!
i found a goats milk soap i absolutely LOVE. milk is the primary ingriedient
owl liquid or bar?
I am curious to try oat milk. I can't eat soy and I didn't like almond milk.
oh hell no. and if i run out of potato chips, it will help my weight
I just don't get the toilet paper thing.
<--potato chips addict
i tried oat milk. i liked it. it's easy to make your own.
I get groceries delivered, so no need to go out to the supermarket :)
bzz people are hoarding it in case they get quarantined
i love silk so y milk but don't always buy it
i don't get any of the panic whatsoever. ignore the ACTUAL massive threat of climate change, but freak out over a virus that isn't that big of a deal...?
it IS the only thing i envision causing hardship
I need to order toilet paper on my next order :) If they are out, I still have 5 boxes of kleenex :)
met a healthcareworker yesterday and was told people are actually stealing anti bactierial hand wash off the hospital walls
sukee OMG That is so funny!
hi blah
i don't look at it that way. i shudder to think if my SIL was still in chemo. she'd be dead.
i am also planning to switch my toilet paper to "who gives a crap" which doesn't use plastic packaging and which uses recycled paper and whatnot
There are a total of 40 people diagnosed with it in the entire country of Canada. One in my city. I'm not really worried.
yeah someone posted on facebook the other day that people are buying tons of TP while still taking the free food samples
Yes, I read a doctor saying that people are stealing masks and antibactrial soap from hospitals.
hurshy lol
i've stopped drinking corona beer so i have nothing to worry about
i saw that one too blah, lol
lol ruru
blah if they are so concerned what are they doing going to public places ot begin with ?
it's popping up all over, here. when you look at the science of epidemiology, it's amazing. the numbers
*eyeroll*
MERS had a much higher death rate and i don't remember people freaking out about that one so much
exactly mlf
I am too old to worry about it if I catch it I catch it. Lifes too short!!!!
hursh, covid seems to be a strain of SARS.
I don't go out that much anyway. I go to the wellness center which is attached to a senior's home. I make sure I wash my hands a lot and use the antibacterial gel that is everywhere.
my husband and i don't go out much or stay out for too long
i am surrounded by old people...it could get ugly here.
i just don't really get what the determining factor is in whether people freak out or not
What worries me is I take cabs or mobility bus service. But I just try not to touch my face until I can wash my hands.
the elderly are the most affected by it
i am concerned, for sure. not worried.
yeah i wash my hands a lot and try not to touch my face...good practice at any time
s my sister told me 100's of people a day are dying off AIDS in Africa, you never see stories about that on the news
I saw a meme that said most people will get chlamidia before they get Corona.
and malaria! which we could deal with so easily but pharma is greedy!
if i may get back to generational differences, older people have different experience. with my young niece and nephew, they seem to think everything can be cured or fixed. i grew up with polio outbreaks and scarlet fever quarantines.
and recently i have seen infomercials for AIDS drugs prevention i guess or control of
People act like this is all new. Corona virus has been in the US for years.
dee: of course not.
Anyway, most countries are handling it responsibily. Sadly Iran and the US aren't.
yeah, TO, the other day i realized that when i was a kid, i assumed authors put in deaths (like, eg, Beth March in Little Women) on purpose to make their books sad. and realized now that they just put them in cause that was a regular part of their life experience.
new strain. acts differently.
Millenials think their is an app for that
bzz do you think its the same as the previous?
I need to get outside...52 left. Not sure if I will be back today...
it's time to go,
I have been researching my family. A lot of the unions list deceased children. Kids died from disease a lot more in the past.
bye bzz
ad5, TO
bye owl
molly true as their wasn't a cure for most of the diseases
bye bea, owl. have great afternoons
little kids in big iron lungs. you saw them when you went to the movies when they begged for funds
true owl
The anti-vaxxers haven't done that research, Molly.
thanks for the goodbye, hursh
they refuse to see the facts, it's ridiculous and amazing
and i am sure they are here, on this site.
some dr was interviewed this morning and was asked a bunch of questions and danced around most of the answers
don't get scrabs started on this.
some are just giving us facts and nothing else
they'd rather their kids die or end up in an iron lung than the mere possibility (which isn't even true) of having autism
it's truly insane how gullible some people are
That supposed link between vaccinations and autism was debunked years ago.
i had a teacher in school who has survived polio
fan: have you seen what passes as anexpert these days? i don't credit 99.9% of them. anyone with an opinion can voice it.
agreed owl
i really need to gp.have fun.
bye owl
Bye TO

I was trying that ending on all those words, not sure how I didn't have that.

molly the k word?
I have no problem with daylight savings time at this time of year. I hate it when it means less light.

No, the word that starts with the letter eye
yeah a bit strange when it gets dark earlier
but the SWITCHING is the real problem, increases car accidents and other things.
ohh that one
true hurshy
Increases car accidents?
well, just found 2 more eye words
yeah - idk exactly why - maybe people who have to get up super early to work even on a sunday and they are now more tired?
people fall asleep at the wheel or rush to get to work because they are already late
i have 4 of the hokie
same
we just need to pick a time and leave it at that. if we want year-round DST, ok, better than this switching nonsense.
agreed
I could go for year round

no results for it when you click the ?
so i guess we'll never know
ah, ms. franklin, ms. kitt, and mr. poitier in the grid
did you get one who writes a bad check?
if you have access to british tv, there is a show with a girl named aretha, called Raised by Wolves, that is so hilarious. i think there is an american version too but i am not very interested in that.
it only ran for 2 seasons but it really deserved to have more
will have to look for it
if things can be backlit, why can't they be si4lit? :D
finding more k words I never heard of
don't they call those skinny windows beside front doors sidelights?
I don't see why that word wouldn't be a word
i always have to remind myself that even if these things i tried WERE a word, there would still be the other ones, it's not going to REPLACE the ones i can't find, lol
just checked, sidelights is right
111 left, seems like a good number to go to the list
49 left here

hmm
I swear, 75% of the words I've checked the def of today are Scottish.
ac 5 clue pls?
hokie free Scottish lesson how useful?:P
true
ac5 is biochem of course. like what someone in a movie does + not out
i have Scottish in my background but that's about it
ty hokie
there is a foot spray - tough-ac__ tin___
scottish-irish here but my people came in the 1600s & 1700s so we have lost all those words along the way
Scots and NC, sounds like "Outlander"
hello everyone -- that clue was certainly obvious :D
i am looking for a ad word at the moment hokie
hi cyber
bichon never watched it
bichon, my mom was a Frazier
ad 4/5

ad 5/14 is what i need?
ad5, french for goodbye
really? Any relationship to Jaime Fraser?
and the plural
of course ty hokie
probably ;) but I don't like to think so because that would be gross LOL
also li4, mlfan.
He's so hot
exactly, though he was hotter in my mind in the books
i have 6 li 4 words
I'm just saying there is one like the ad5 that I missed as well
sorry to differ, carla
:D
ty for the li 4
cheers
si 5/20 clue pls?
slang for a pervert, etc
isn't that the 6?
trek
oops
ends in a different vowel
oh geez i ams o dumb didn't go that direction lol
np
just been reading the chat -- a lot of scottish words appear here that I've never heard of either -- I think it depends largely on what part of scotland your relatives came from
good theory
probably but then again the oly languages i have heard in my family are English and some Italian but no Scottish or german
I have even spent a lot of time with some current day scots and haven't heard these words
one side of my family came from glasgow and the other from just south of edinburgh -- totally different dialects
I did do 23 and me and ancestry DNA. am more english and french and less scottish/irish than we thought
but most of the surnames in my family tree are scottish or irish
I'm just the 2nd generation born here -- so not much doubt!
that does make it easier!
i am not asking for a cue i just wanted to know if the si 5/12 is a common word or not?
Hey! I'm back for the last 52...
the surprise and the reason I ended up doing ancestry DNA was that 23 and me said I had an ancestor born in 1730-1820 from Africa. well, the 2nd test agreed.
the one I have is
I don't use it a lot in convo, mlfan, but it's a regular word
only one si 5/12 cyber:)
still not half way, so haven't listed yet
I doubt many people use that si word
come next to, mlf
there was a character on CSI with the si5/12 as a last name, played by Jorja Fox
And I know you werent asking for a clue...
si5 up to the bar
I love her! She married Grisham in a weird marriage.
oops, forgot you weren't asking for a clue
ty got it
funny, I didn't really like her and def didn't like her marrying Grissom
okay i am going to watch my race now might be back.. might not .. bye
bye
enjoy!
made it through the list finally. 9 left that I had to skip. :(
OMG! Being a Grandma to my oldest daughter's child is a trial . LOL!
just passed the halfway mark -- hate to list so soon, but don't want to be at this all day
I'm going to the list because I do not have the patience for this...
lol - know the feeling well, bea
haven't listed yet but still have 133 left
good play, nan
I listed at 100+ and am still at it
I'm glad someone understands, nan.
ugh...doesnt bode well for me today
i have un4/5 and un7/48. missing?
can't find the 2nd in7
Well, you know who to ask for vowels, baby!
I know, I'm glad you're back, but it's the only vowel I'm missing.
in + change copy + vowel
well, that's ridiculous, thx
And it is good that we share a brain sometimes...=)
yep :D
is the ne7 a real word?
yes
hmm, good to know
k= i am falling asleep. and i have to go to a show tonight . and finish this grid.
It sounds like you have partied way too much this weekend, TO.
oh no. it's because i HAVEN'Y. too much sitting around
dd not make it to hte gym either day
I always skip the gym on weekends
activity breeds energy - at least, for me. boredom makes me weary.
CArla, that ne7 could be or or nor
because I am lazy and hate the gym.
argh, thanks bea
had the e
I just walk my neighborhood. Costs me nothing and I carry a trash bag and clean the streets as I go.
i skip it on Mondays. but i may stop weight class altogether. too much equipment to sannitize, not enough time between class to do it
I could be id4 all day. my husband and good friend have to stay active all the time.
i am into moderate to high level now. walking will not do it.
6 left, r's and t's
unless it's a hike or hours long.
i guess no one has those u stats
you should try walking soccer
what is that?
I know TO. I was a gym rat too. There is just too much more in life.
I have all the u's, are you saying you want the stats?
my gym rat days are long over.
I have the U's. Didn't know you needed them.
i tried POUND- i was sroe for days.
walking soccer is like soccer but you can't run. also can't pass over head high (or 6'-ish)
i have the n 4 and un 7.
There are two un7's
there is un7/48 and 7/36. I guess you need the 48
ty i have the mineral?
You nee the un + planet
The easy one. =)
which is the 7/48
the other is to dig something up
i was having fun making up un words
OMG! Next week is Selection Weekend! It's like Christmas and I do not have to buy gifts, decorate or cook!

Of course I am!
my team is not getting selected this year so I don't really care
And your team is?
bea has march madness...
the hokies ;)
come on, bea
Yeah, sorry...LOL!
bea needs a babble break
I was thinking Wake Forest.
as do i. later, gators. no team reference intended
we have been watching a lot of Duke this year because one of their players went to high school with my oldest
My team will be in the 1 spot which always makes me nervous.
okay, I will take a clue for ti7 P&TY
I love Coach K, but am not a fan of Duke, if that makes sense.
Hi y'all. Are we on DST now?
yes gap
what is your team, bea? not sure who is #1 now
yes, gapeach!
We are on Fast Time, peach.
Thanks nan.
I don't really like Duke or Coach K and yet we keep watching :D
My team is the KU Jayhawks.
Ah yes, I know you're from KA, but I'm stuck in ACC land and can't think of other schools :D
Thanks, Bea.
seeing the "On a WInter's Night" 25th anniversary tour.
My comment about Fast Time...My husband's grandparents were country folk. They never changed their clocks but just remembered they were on "fast time." That would have driven me crazy.
omg, found the ti7, just like the ha7 I couldn't find
Peach, are you in a place that does not observe DST?
Yep! That ti8 is ridiculous.
now down to 4 pesky re's
Is one an 8?
2 8's, 1, 6, 1 7
*peeps back in* clue pls ti8?
You know, Carla...You scare me sometimes...
I assume the last 7/8 is a combo
scary for missing easy words? or that you can guess which ones I don't know.
Is that the partner with tricks?
Knowing wich one you are missing...
ti8 is similar to a thing the ocean does
well, I have to save these 4 for later. taking the oldest back to his dorm after a week at home for spring break.
ty
*Changes Carla's name to ScaryCarla
LOL! I'm not sure her name is the one to change, Molly. =)

Not trick, aeb

i'm just starting, but the first thing that jumps out at me is the actress that played Catwoman in the 1960s "Batman" TV series. Both first AND last name. LOL
Aretha Kitt. =)
That pulled cobwebs from my brain.
Lol Bea
Adam West was my first Batman. You always remember your first.
i don't get why batman movies and spider man and superman movies just keep getting made so often
ke 9 please?
not to mention avengers, justice league, and who knows all what else
how is there this much demand for this kind of movie
Ke 9 is an inflammation of the cornea. Google that and you will get the answer to ke9
no break down clue?
ke9 starts like the stuff nails and horns are made of and has infection ending
ty ursh
=)
know all about rhino horn here nan
didn't know that I had ki 6 my pots --- thought I had fired them!
and is a ki 4 a ki 5 garment?
some of these words are just ridiculous
hurshy, I grew up on network tv. I loved the Batman series as well as the Green Hornet, Dick Tracey...
help with ti8 pls
Earth Kitt
similar to ocean movement
Eartha Kitt I think
ty for ti8
300 down - babble break
I'm back - 2 left
I think the appeal of super hero movies is that people want to see the good guy beat the bad guy. There is so little of that in the real world. Same goes for good romance movies. There is precious little of that in the world as well.
finally fireworks. just needed to drive around awhile.
Carla, does our son go to App State?
Yes, Molly. We all need a hero.
31... all T's...Why?
You completed all the other tiles probably
LOL
Good assessment, zooz.
Sorry I could not resist
:}
Large grid + many other commitments = WTH...=)
😊
That is what I love about Babble. We are all here to forget, for just a moment, what we should be doing irl, and take a moment for ourselves...
Yep. Shut the door. Nice drink to hand and look for weird words in a grid. Love it!
I'll leave the door open... Come on in. Don't like drinking alone.
Bea, he is at UNCC
I love that they do not allow Freshman a vehicle on campus. My neighbor has a child with a full ride to App State and they will not allow her to have a car on compus until she is a junior.
he is allowed by the school but his brother was using the spare car. we now have a spare but he doesn't need it there.
one of his friends is at App State and I didn't realize they weren't allowed for freshman. however that kid's girlfriend is a sophomore and does have one.
un 7/48 please?
UN + vowel + what kids fly on a string.
ty zoom - another new one
no def, so manufactured I guess
It is some kind of granite stone, Nan.
It is a green and pink crystal.
di 7/36 please?
Nothing like talking to a 4 yo on Facetime whiule they hold the phone...
Nan, it is more of the di5 before.
ok - another new one - ty
Lots of new ones today.
*!*~*!* thanks for the help :)
Yea Nan!
any clues wanted?
Carla, I think it is great that colleges do not allow cars on campuses for freshmen. They have to stay on campus or find a ride.
on my way - back at the flip :)
I'll bring this up tomorow. =)
