just missed it! 4 to go

12:01 am

aw, shucks. Good run, though, harp!

12:01 am

I wasn't too serious. I didn't start until 30 minutes

12:05 am

found some insects

12:06 am

re7

12:07 am

re7x2

12:09 am

I would really like to rearrange the d, l and e's

12:10 am

with you so far, jess, ty

12:12 am

yw nan

Clues are up

12:20 am

YAY Lickety!

12:21 am

It's the Stid!

12:22 am

hi stid

12:22 am

hey all

12:22 am

how's life mcurl? I miss you!

12:22 am

hope you and yours are all well, nan!

12:23 am

been kind of quiet and lazy, Stid. Going in tomorrow to get my bagels so they don't go bad!

12:24 am

:-) We'll be arriving in shifts tomorrow to meet with the principal. Under strict orders to not meet up with other folks. I am going to get my extra air purifier to bring home for my office space. It's been smoky. :-( I am sad.

12:26 am

yes -- all's good - everything shutting down, so not much going on. Youngest was coming for a visit and then a week with the family skiing, but the ski hill closed early for the season, oldest son works for apple and is a "no fly" person so working from home, and daughter's university has gone to online classes she is also working from home.

12:26 am

Yea, I was told "stay away from others that may be in the building"! Gonna grab some other things as well. Going to spend my down time doing the modules online for our Para certification and a couple webinars I signed up for. That should help cover, oh perhaps a week or so!

12:27 am

I wondered if your school would close, stid -- your family ok, though?

12:27 am

Glad your family are well even if you (like us) are apart for a while, nan! We're doing well enough - have everything we need.

12:28 am

Yes, I have some ideas for things I need (and want) to do - actually sat down at the piano for a bit today! WOW am I out of practice! After ten minutes my fingers were aching (and not just from the arthritis).

12:28 am

that's good -- not much virus present here right now, but the snowbirds are coming home so that will probably change.

12:29 am

I did a little work around the house--cleaning, throwing things away, etc-- in prep for getting the rest of the stuff from mom's house that I have to take.

12:29 am

Exactly, nan - even places where it hasn't made itself really known are likely to see it soon enough. I am distraught over not being at school with my students, but I would rather they and their families be safe than satisfy my desire to see them.

12:31 am

sounds productive, mcurl!

12:31 am

spent a chunk of today organizing a volunteer group to run essential errands for returnees and others who are self-isolating for 2 weeks.

12:31 am

Do you know who's got the lunch duty? I was pleased to see how many dropoffs there will be!

12:31 am

Must be really bored, to volunteer for something like that!!!

12:31 am

That is a fabulous service, nan!

12:32 am

Not to onerous -- it's just for our gated community of 100 homes and 6 people have volunteered to help.

12:33 am

With the asthma I have I have been struggling just to make it through the regular cold season, I dare not put myself "out and about" any more now. :-( But as long as they can, the boys and Tom will do those errands for me. :-)

12:33 am

Glad to hear that, nan -should be a good experience for you (and so helpful for them!)

12:34 am

no - we will have to don masks when we make the deliveries - that or drop on the doorstep, ring bell and run :)

12:34 am

I am trying to think of things I can do to support students who are out of school from home. But to be honest almost anything I would do is already being done quite competently by others.

12:34 am

LOL sounds like the protocol at my parents' house!

12:38 am

can I get an assist (count only) on the E?

12:38 am

Hi all - el 4

12:39 am

thanks lizlin ( ( social distance hugs) ) hope you are well?

12:39 am

ty liz - missed that one

12:39 am

got it!

12:40 am

We're fine here - and keeping as much to ourselves as possible, without being stupid about it. Social distance hugs to all - I think that's the phrase of the moment :)

12:40 am

100 down, saving rest for tomorrow. Goodnight everyone :)

12:40 am

Sleep well nan, and stay well.

12:40 am

;-) exactly, lizlin. it's harder than it sounds, though

12:40 am

sweet dreams nan. Love to mr nan

12:41 am

I decided to keep going to the gym - they sent out protocols about hygiene there - but if I see people ignoring them, I might change my mind.

12:42 am

ty - best wishes to you and yours too - haven't seen stidgmere here for a while.

12:42 am

All of the gyms in our state have closed, we're in a rather difficult situation, I fear. Some of my friends who really seem to need the exercise are a bit sad.

12:42 am

Like everywhere, the shops are chaos! On the news we heard that bus trips are being arranged from the cities to the smaller towns, where there is more in the store.

12:42 am

Thanks nan, I will convey her greetings. I know she plays, just not when. :-)

12:43 am

Not much closed here yet - we'll see how it develops. We've cancelled a trip to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and sadly we probably won't make my nephew's wedding in the UK>

12:44 am

Yes, many peoples' live are being upended right now. :-(

12:44 am

Crazy times.

12:46 am

I think I should be done, misplaced apostrophe and all. ( (more safe hugs) ) be well, all - mcurl, hope to see you around... *poof*

12:47 am

sleep well.

12:47 am

Maybe I'll see you during your "time" tomorrow at school

12:47 am

wi6/7

12:54 am

stats for the lone i please

12:55 am

4/7

12:56 am

good grief thanks - silly me

12:57 am

there is so much in4/7 floating around now - we have fingers crossed here - schools etc closed - no big gatherings - almost all sport cancelled - wash your hands - same as everybody

1:20 am

FW

1:42 am

Here (Alberta), all in-person classes (including post-secondary) are cancelled, child-care facilities, libraries, recreation centres, concert halls, etc. are closed, and gatherings are supposed to be no more than 250 people or no more than 50 with vulnerable individuals present (older or unwell). Work is supposed to be done from home where possible, and everyone who has recently traveled, had contact with someone who has tested positive, or who has possible symptoms are supposed to self-isolate for 2 weeks. We're up to only 74 confirmed cases, but the number has been rising fairly rapidly in the past few days, and many of them are apparently due to community contact.

1:48 am

Restaurants and bars are still open, but I believe they are supposed to limit the number of customers to half of what they are licensed for.

1:53 am

It's amazing how quickly the numbers can rise without preventative measures. In Italy they went from just 3 confirmed cases to almost 30,000 in less than a month.

2:09 am

Everything is closing here

2:12 am

Yeah, I saw that.

2:13 am

In Vancouver, they recently had a very well attended dental convention where some of the attendees have now tested positive, so now people are being advised to cancel all non-essential dental appointments.

2:14 am

(And attendees are supposed to self-isolate, of course.)

2:18 am

Holy molar!

2:19 am

:)

2:22 am

Some cases in other parts of the country have been linked to the conference, so now almost 15,000 people who attended are being asked to self-isolate.

2:25 am

Actually, I see that dentists in California are also being asked to suspend non-essential service for 2 weeks.

2:26 am

Glad i did my dental stuff earlier this year

3:27 am

Here in the UK everyone is being urged to avoid unnecessary social contact, to work from home where possible, and to stay away from pubs and restaurants. Drastic but necessary I guess and I hope it works - we are all in this together. Not comfortable to be over 80! Keep safe.

3:28 am

which is why I can sneak on to Babble :D

3:39 am

ah, there's the third 7

3:55 am

how I hate k's

4:13 am

got 2 re7's colour again eye part whats the 3ed 7?

4:18 am

4:18 am

went with that and monkeyed it straight away, thaqnks

4:19 am

you can keep the q, had it spare

4:20 am

it at least sounds like it should be a word

4:26 am

hows coronavirus in Israel?

4:45 am

No twerk?

4:50 am

sorry had to work for a while

4:51 am

we have shut down most things here. Not in isolation, but close. All this even though our numbers are relatively low compared with Europe. we just want to keep it this way

4:53 am

fetin

4:54 am

oops

4:54 am

not a word anyway

4:57 am

Ata !!

5:33 am

6:02 am

Morning all.

6:03 am

Hi Sukee

6:04 am

Hi Scrabs

6:04 am

how rude, I wanna twerk

6:05 am

Go ahead :)

6:05 am

Not an official word yet?

6:05 am

I can't, it doesn't exist.

6:07 am

I am trying to avoid Facebook today, it is stressing me out lately. Same with the news. Just for today.

6:09 am

I am an information addict. I am reading data and medical info.

6:10 am

Well, right now it's not helping me :) The gym I go to is now closed until further notice so I will be home more :) I missed a lot of time in January and February and just got back into going out regularly. We only have about 4 cases in this area so far and all travel related.

6:10 am

I know it's all for the best, but I wish it was already over.

6:11 am

gonna be a long long time before it is over......just to brighten the mood.

6:11 am

I agree. Maybe in 3 months.

6:11 am

british news reckons could be a year in all

6:11 am

On a good point, for the first time more people were cured in South Korea than had the virus.

6:11 am

Oops, look at the time. I need to get ready for work. Bye.

6:11 am

Take care.

6:12 am

Have fun.

6:12 am

Anyway, no more talk about that for now.

6:14 am

Ks down.

6:38 am

20,000 more cases than yesterday : https://tinyurl.com/uwns6z5

6:38 am

almost 20,000 recoverd as well

twerk - no good? LOL

6:49 am

godthaab.... i wish we could have more stats about people who have recovered.....

6:52 am

Sccoll down the list on the left. It identifies recovery by province, area or city

6:53 am

This is probably the most up to date map I have seen. When I looked, it had been updated in the last 20 minutes

7:21 am

I hope that people will start to re-think their need to travel to foreign countries for pleasure.

7:25 am

in the short term, of course. In the long term, travel is one of the best ways to be alive :)

7:25 am

But I'm an expat in the US, sooo

7:37 am

I was just trying to think of ways we can learn from this to prevent it from happening again. It seems so many of the cases in the US have come from people who had been on foreign travel or people who had contact with them.

7:40 am

*ptui* that was too quick

7:41 am

Stats for the lone o in the last column?

8:26 am

Limiting your news intake at times like this is a very good thing. So are trying some relaxation meditations (free on YouTube) and watch some of your favorite comedy movies. Laughter really IS the best medicine.

8:29 am

Good morning, all. Good advice, Molly. I have to detatch from the news at night. Hear it all day long at work. Drives you nuts after a while.

8:30 am

Here at the police dept. we are bombarded by e-mails, bulletins, warnings, etc., etc.

8:31 am

I'm sure you are, Judi. Our first responders are doing an awesome job. Thank you!

8:32 am

I'm getting ready to go spend some time in the fresh air with my hands in the soil. Back for the last 35 words later.

8:34 am

Ah, a good and healing place, Bea. Enjoy.

8:34 am

Hey, look! Fireworks!

8:35 am

congrats!

8:35 am

reft

8:36 am

It's going to be tough on everyone with just about every social venue closing. I predict crime is going to go up. And what is up with Pennsylvania closing liquor stores?? That seems unnecessarily cruel.

8:37 am

Not to mention the fact that now I'm going to have to do more cooking, dammit.

8:39 am

Enough griping. Off to do some actual work. See y'all tomorrow. *POOF*

9:46 am

congrats hokie

yeah, but I used the list, moo

9:46 am

9:46 am

well...s'ok, I'm been playing competitive word games for too long

9:46 am

... but I like the designation ... I usually forget to find it

I already had that one, just didn't realize that's what she was talking about.

9:46 am

yeah mool is a word nut

the a word I was missing was ar6

9:47 am

yeah, had it too, but it's a good clue

9:47 am

yes, there are wall nuts and people who are nuts about peas...but I'm a wordnut

well, I've been here longer than you, but I took several years off

9:48 am

I started playing competitive scrabble back in 1994 if that helps

9:48 am

hokie ar 6 clue it pls?

9:49 am

that was my last word ML...tx

think of your lower leg, mlf

9:49 am

mool did you win in competitive scrabble?

9:49 am

maybe's it the sound you make when you get kicked in the lower leg

9:50 am

won, loss...above average, not the best by a long shot

9:50 am

no that would be sh 4lol

9:50 am

I'm better at boggle, but there are some people out there who are insanely good at boggle

9:50 am

mool ohh

well, I have never played competitively, but we played a lot of scrabble in my house when I was growing up. my dad was very into it. he stopped playing a few years ago when his mind wasn't as good.

9:51 am

yeah, I like speed scrabble more than regular,I like to use time as a leverage point

I can't play boggle in real life because my friends think I'm making up words and I just destroy them. but online boggle I get destroyed in.

9:51 am

I miss playing board games.. played with my mom and a female friend

9:52 am

hokie yeah online boggle is hard

9:52 am

yeah, I won't play word games with anyone I know...I don't like to beat up on friends and family

9:52 am

If I'm playing a fellow competitor it's okay

9:52 am

well with scrabble, the kepe updating the dictionary

yeah, I've loved board games all my life. my kids used to want to play scrabble some when we were camping but they prefer monopoly and risk and sorry, which I consider the worst board game ever invented.

9:53 am

yes they do....there was a period there, back in 1998 where they didn't for a while

9:53 am

that's what this dictionary here is

9:53 am

I have played wwf and I am not as good as some players. I have also made moves for my mom in wwf lol

9:53 am

I don't mind risk, but it takes too long

9:53 am

i am a monopoly fanatic!

9:53 am

I didn't like wwf so much because the scoring system is so unbalanced

I play wwf only because that's what people play. I much prefer the scrabble board.

9:54 am

it was too easy to blow out an opponent with one move

9:54 am

agreed hokie

9:54 am

may i have clues for the re7s pls?

agreed, moo, it's horrible

mlfan, one is things in your eye

9:55 am

it's quite remarkable how balanced scrabble is in comparison

one is if you dye something again

9:55 am

i keep looking for wwf to be played online but its not available

you mean besides mobile?

it used to be on FB didn't it?

9:55 am

hi folks - mool, did you play scrabble on jacob's ladder?

9:56 am

or case's ladder

9:56 am

yeah, t was on there when I played it

howdy welki

9:56 am

yes, on fb but i want to play it off that page

9:56 am

most played on irc.ro

9:56 am

I did play on case come to think of it, but that was a long time ago

can I have a hint for re7 - the one tht has nothing to do with the eye?

9:56 am

not getting eithr of the re 7s

9:57 am

sugrr one is to dye again?

9:57 am

i've been playing the EA branded version in the last few years, but they gave up or lost the contract and so it's shutting down in june

oy ty

9:57 am

mool i saw the same thing

9:57 am

now we have this abomination of a version from scopely

9:58 am

suggr 2 re 7's

9:58 am

i've given up on scrabble, which is sad because i did enjoy playing it, face to face and online

9:58 am

can't just play....so many distractions and stuff

got them tx

I think I had the EA one on my phone and played it some years ago.

9:58 am

UPWORDS used to be free online but i catn find that at all

9:58 am

and the competition level is pretty weak right now

9:58 am

welk same here

9:59 am

can someone give me idiot clues for the re 7s pls??

9:59 am

and like you, i can't find competitive opponents to play face to face - the 'club' here in town isn't an option

9:59 am

re7 - part of you eye (plural)

9:59 am

re7 - to change the hue or color again

you can detach your eye re*****

10:00 am

and plural

10:00 am

yeah, not much fun to win 550-150 welk

10:00 am

it's in the back of the ey

10:00 am

eye

10:00 am

ohh when i saw the clue for that again the word jumped out at me ty

10:00 am

I think it was DCSeain here who told me he plays Lexulous so I tried finding him and starting a game but it didn't seem to work. But Lex is basically WWF. IIRC, Lex was first and was a Scrabble knockoff and then Scrabble shut them down and they came back as WWF, then at some point came back as Lex again.

10:00 am

i have played lexulous

10:01 am

lexulous was on facebook way back when, until hasbro sued them, and they had to screw up the scoring system

10:01 am

yep, that's the way I rem. it

10:01 am

yep, that was when apps on facebook were just really starting

10:01 am

my best word was 'jonquils,' played on the left side of the board for a triple/triple

10:01 am

yep

10:01 am

welk wow

10:02 am

wow, nice word welki

10:02 am

i think the j fell on double or triple letter, can't remember

10:02 am

one of my faves was quartz down from the fourth column, with the z also making zag

10:02 am

if there were iphones back then, i would have taken a screen shot :D

10:03 am

yeah, I had a game where I scored over 650 using up only about 2 minutes of playing time on my side...my opponent used all their 25 minutes, but everything was just going my way

10:03 am

f r and t words to find ugghh

10:04 am

wwf is free on all devices isn't it?

10:04 am

that's when you sit back and whistle in your head, zippity-doo-dah :)

10:04 am

yeah, I think yoi pay to remove ads

10:04 am

need another clue for the other re 7 that isn't the eye word pls?

10:05 am

de5 and de7 - I need for nbc -- help?

10:05 am

yeah, i also like playing a bingo on the last turn to steal a game...ah the little pleasures in life

10:05 am

yeah, the ads are annoying, but I just close the app and go back in

10:05 am

You got one, to dye again or color

10:05 am

There is no DE 7

10:05 am

what is wrong with my brain lol

10:05 am

de5/de6

10:05 am

s

10:06 am

ty got it

10:06 am

I guess I don't have those sug

10:06 am

got the 6 - jut need the de5

10:06 am

the de6 is more so of de4

10:07 am

de5, you are prob missing the one that adds a cons to the 4 before it

10:07 am

Jeez, missed that one :) The DE 5/18 is to put something off

10:07 am

ends in a tolkien creature + cons

10:07 am

or that one, lol

10:08 am

omg I got it - ty ty - fireworks whoop - I hardly ever get fireworks - yay

10:08 am

re 6/18 clue pls?

10:09 am

congrats suggr

10:09 am

sugrr

10:09 am

well done, this was a nice, doable board

10:09 am

The singular

10:09 am

gotta be a singular of one of the 7's, mlfan

10:10 am

let me look at the list again ihave a re 6 /18

10:10 am

re combo

10:10 am

5/6

10:10 am

You asked for a clue for re6/18

10:11 am

Wait, DE words - I have the one that means to put something off, which does add a consonant to a DE4. Is there another that has the Tolkien creature?

10:11 am

i have one of them molly

10:12 am

One of them is eye part and the other is to color again

10:12 am

just got a re 5/18

10:12 am

Don't you have both RE 7's?

10:12 am

yes, matty. it's actually pottery per the def.

10:12 am

who me sukee?

10:13 am

Ah, got the other DE 5

10:13 am

Yes

10:13 am

firebirds :)

10:13 am

Aaaah - I have that - I was looking for something using a different creature :)

10:13 am

TY hokie

10:13 am

mlfan, if you are looking for re6/18 like you asked, they are singular. if you are looking for any other re6 they have higher points.

10:13 am

Ds all gone

10:14 am

i know hokie ty

10:14 am

I must be missing something. I don't even see the Tolkien tree creature in the grid

10:14 am

'snot the tree. Pointy eared dudes and dudettes

10:14 am

you know, Legolas, Galadriel

10:15 am

I kept looking for orc first :)

10:15 am

okay, mlfan, you have confused everyone on what you're actually asking us for then

10:15 am

Oh, okay, but those are not creatures specific to Tolkien. That is what threw me.

10:16 am

I have two 7s, both RE - which 7 am I missing, please?

10:16 am

wi

10:16 am

no, not specific to tolkien, just the first thing that came to my mind to describe them

10:16 am

WI 7/48

10:17 am

Thankee - looking now.

10:17 am

starts with a season ends like to be shown the way

10:17 am

Thank you! I'm not sure my monkeys would have found that :)

10:17 am

yeah, I don't know that word, but magically found it. looks like a past tense

10:18 am

And it is

10:18 am

I know I'm confused. I gave up trying to figure out what MLF was asking for.

10:18 am

Well, all clear now

10:18 am

Still missing 2 Ws

10:19 am

Both were 4 letter words, should have been easier :)

10:22 am

Now to tackle the last 4 Fs I need

10:22 am

Make that 6

10:23 am

10:24 am

10:30 am

premise 1: most people are somewhat stressed or worried right now because of the virus and stuff

10:31 am

premise 2: i got my first letter from my SO yesterday

10:31 am

that's a given

10:31 am

theory: i might actually, literally be the happiest person in the entire world right now!

10:32 am

11:05 am

11:07 am

what is "suffonsified"?

11:09 am

h: archaic for "have had enough to eat" (word nerd, me)

Canadian origin, I think. I'm originally from Rochester, NY - lots of Canadian influence there

Anyone else having major issues with getting words added to the list today? I'm getting nonstop errors.

1:29 pm

if you're still around, devin, the site worked fine for me

1:33 pm

Does seem to finally be working. Every word I typed was giving me an error. I'm working from home and I need my fix! :)

1:40 pm

glad it's back up and running for you

hi welk

2:36 pm

Hello, my friends. Back for the last 35...Been in gardens and working in my yard all day...Feels so good to be outside!

2:37 pm

Hi Bea - just starting out here.

2:39 pm

I hope you are doing well, origami.

2:41 pm

Yes, I am doing fine, thank you! Wish I had your penchant for gardening and some clear weather. I am getting overrun by weeds.

2:41 pm

I took Mr. Bea with me to the grocery store today. I felt like he needed to get an idea of the situaton out there. LOL! It was like I was going through the store with a four year old...

2:42 pm

You do not need clear weather to weed. I weed in the dead of NC winter. Just a bucket, gloves and 15 minutes with a patch of weeds. ou would be surprised what ou can accomplish.

2:43 pm

Oh I don't like taking the male of the species to the grocery store. They are always throwing unneeded items in my cart.

2:48 pm

Well .... I suppose I could. Actually, I must.

2:50 pm

LOL! This one does not do that. He is the penny pincher of the family. But...He would see something that interested him and pick it up and look at it, read the label, put it back on the shelf, then touch his face as he was pondering whether it was worth throwing in the basket. I handed him a hand wipe from my purse and told him to wipe his hands and quit touching his face...

2:52 pm

Ori, if I don't get outside daily, I go nuts...I don't care what the weather...

2:52 pm

i'm walkin on sunshine, whoa-oa i'm walkin on sunshine, whoa-oa-oa i'm walkin on sunshien, whoa-oa and don't it feel good!

2:53 pm

You got it! Kill that virus! Make you happy! =)

2:53 pm

Are you feeling better, hurshy?

2:54 pm

i'm mostly better physically and i'm fabulous otherwise :D

2:56 pm

Being fabuolous otherwise is just as good as being better anyway else. It is all mental.

2:56 pm

Glad to hear it, hursh

3:01 pm

I just got an fl5.16. Made me realize this game more about remembering the Enable dictionary than "real" words. Imagine what would happen if Babble changed dictionaries.

3:04 pm

people are acting freaky at the stores too just so weird and paranoid

3:06 pm

last word - ar 6,21 - what a pershon who likesh to burn things doesh.

3:08 pm

That is one of those stupid enable words I remember, Knight...

3:09 pm

i must admit I like the wi 6,30 verb. Will try to work that into a conversation some day.

3:15 pm

Ru, I'm sure you are saying the same thing those at the Food Lion were saying when Mr. Bea and I where shopping. We turned down the cleaning and paper aisle. He said, "Whoa. Why do they have an empty aisle in this store? <face plant> "Honey, this is the aisle for paper and cleaning products." He is clueless...

3:34 pm

You need to switch it up and have him do the shopping for a while

3:36 pm

Hell no! We would only be eating beer, ice cream, corn chips.

3:36 pm

Lol

3:38 pm

I'm not joking. He thinks those are the four food groups. =)

3:44 pm

gosh i'd starve at his house then.. i don't eat any of those

3:49 pm

That's why I'm the cook!

3:51 pm

i love to cook too.. my second favorite past time

hace RE7 and wi7. missing?

3:53 pm

2 re7

3:53 pm

re7

thanks

wish this one was bigger.maybe tomorrow.

4:03 pm

That's what we all say...

4:06 pm

Not only does my employer not have the good sense to shut the office down for a while, he didn't even tell the person who came in sick today to go home. I am so tired of idiot people.

4:07 pm

Is there not some one you can report him to, Molly?

4:09 pm

I don't know. But I'm wondering if there are going to be law suits against employers who did not act responsibly during these times.

4:13 pm

Hi, any news on Ruby?

4:18 pm

I heard from her briefly this morning. She didn't have a lot to say, but she is hanging in there.

4:18 pm
