12:15 am

hi diz hi all. I have nbt but do not see either 8

Clues are up

12:24 am

do not like that in 8 -- not really a word in my brand of english

12:25 am

I agree - it should be more so

12:33 am

good night - leaving 50 for tomorrow - stay safe :)

Good-day my babble friends. How are you all going? Unprecedented times xx

1:18 am

Hello mrp - long time no see - on lockdown here - definitely unprecedented times - nothing we have ever experienced in our lifetime

Hello ursh xx has been incredible! We are in stage 3 lockdown too. Hating it, but embracing it. Conundrum

1:22 am

yip day 6 here - one person may go to grocery stores or pharmacy - no dog walking - no beach swimming - no gatherings - cafes, bars and restaurants are closed

Ok we are coming to that. No gatherings, only household members allowed in a dwelling, everything else is “essential” and can’t even sit at a park bench!

We had some pretty sh***y behaviour at our beaches so they introduced laws to stop people gathering.. was highly embarrassing for this country

1:27 am

Pretty much the same here. everything except shops that sell food is closed. Lockdown is in force here too.

1:28 am

Yes I saw that on the news. Bondi beach I think they showed.

Hi zoom! I’m sorry you are going thru this too. We are now heading to that. It’s so sad.

1:31 am

same here - it was Spring Break in Florida, the beaches were packed. Then the other day I saw a map of cell phone tracings for the two weeks after , from just one beach - they went home all over the eastern half of the U.S. and some spots out west as well.

Yep, just stupid. We were warned that should people continue to flout the advisory rules, it would become law

Hello bud! Lovely to see you. We are all just gobsmacked here. No way out for 6 months we are told

1:32 am

We have to do what we can to protect the elderly and ill healthed people. I am worried about the jobs that people might lose by the time thos is over though.

Our biggest issue was travelling youth at Bondi Beach, and the virus spread expedientially

1:33 am

I suspect the same here, if not longer than 6 months - but they lead us on and tell us pretty much nothing about what they really think.

More than anything, unemployment is now a major concern. We are a country with very few... and our jobless rate is now 15%. Unreal

1:34 am

The young think they are immune to this virus but here in the UK a thirteen year old boy with no health issues died from the corona virus yesterday.

Holy moly zoom! We didn’t get that news

I’m so sad. Just awful

1:37 am

Well viruses do not discriminate. It will infect anyone from any background. Young,old,poor,wealthy. Does not matter.

True. We have a the highest testing rate and each day, the numbers climb... no one is safe

I’m sure you guys and girls have discussed this in depth over the last couple of weeks, I’m sorry to come on here and bemoan the situation

1:39 am

That is a sore point here inthe UK. We are told they are ramping up testing to 25k a day and yet the people on the front line are saying hardly anyone is being tested.

1:41 am

Meh I am sure people are fed up of hearing me talk about what the weather is doing outside today haha! athat is my normal convo here.

1:41 am

Meh I am sure people are fed up of hearing me talk about what the weather is doing outside today haha! athat is my normal convo here.

I’m so sorry zoom. It’s not helpful to curb our anxiety with opposing stories

I’m here to check up on my babble family and reconnect as is normal during times of crisis

1:42 am

It is what it is, Mrp :-)

If you want to talk about it, then please do! It’s normal to vent

It is just my son and I atm, and as he has Asperger”s, he is so glad to be isolated and socially distancing! But it is not for me... wish I could see my family and friends

1:45 am

Oh I am fine. I look after my parents so watch the same TV shows everyday and talk about this virus all day too so talking about it here fine with me.

Luke has his 21st in a week. And we can’t celebrate so will just put off a party until we can!

1:46 am

Someone next door has just dropped something on the floor and smashed. Bet they are not happy. (We have thin walls)

That’s awesome zoom. Looking after people is paramount

If it was a bottle of anchovies, I’d be pretty unhappy too! Lol

1:47 am

In the mean time, Mrp you could do a face time party with all his friends so they can sing Happy Birthday and still talk to each other and stuff!

Yes he has that all set up. I’ll get him a cake and give him $$$ so he will be happy

1:49 am

Yes He will like that.

Am having to order stuff online now, with everything closing down. I’ve decided to do plenty of knitting now that we are in autumn

And what the f##k is with hoarding toilet paper?

1:50 am

My sister said the other day that to do her supermarket shopping online they are quoting a time slot of around two weeks!

1:51 am

Yes the TP thing is silly.

1:51 am

good morning babblers

Correct! We don’t have a big population so they just shut it all down for most. Only the elderly and disabled can get it

1:52 am

Good grief hello, Sprite! Long time no see.

Hi sprite! Long time x

1:53 am

*hugs zooz* I know. Have been sick for the last 5 weeks. Very busy before that.

1:53 am

hi mrP

1:54 am

Oh dear that is a long time to be ill. Hope you are feeling better.

1:54 am

how have you been, zooz? And how are your parents holding up?

Ok well I’m off to cook dinner. Bye for now

1:54 am

slowly getting better now, day by day. It is a vicious flu!

1:54 am

bye mrP

1:55 am

Oh we are fine. It is very hard trying to keep everything clean and not worry about giving germs to them apart from that all is the same.

1:55 am

abye, Mrp nice to see you!

1:55 am

good to hear. Yeah, it is an intensive time for all.

1:56 am

Mother went into hospital a while a go with c-diff but that is sorted out now.

1:56 am

How is everyone in your family doing?

1:56 am

ah, am glad that is okay now. Are they feeling very isolated? And are you?

1:57 am

perfect waste of a good -ing ending, I see

1:57 am

YNo we are fine to be honest this routine is no different now to what it was before the lockdown. Nothing has changed for us. As we do not go out anywhere anyway.

1:58 am

Rob is okay, still healthy, thank God. Tim is back in the Netherlands, university is closed and exams are cancelled, he has automatically been promoted to the next study year. Caya has graduated magna cum laude, very proud of her. She will go for her Master's in the fall.

1:58 am

YMy day consists of getting up going to parents look after them come home. Then repeat the next day and so on haha!

1:59 am

ah right, I see.

1:59 am

that is pretty intensive caretaking, zooz *hugs*

2:00 am

Oh wow Caya has done so well for herself! She has worked hard for that! Congratulations to her from me even though she does not know me haha!

2:01 am

Yeah it is a shame for those who studied hard to have their exams cancelled.

2:01 am

Not so bad if you are crap at exams though.

2:01 am

yeah but in the view of all the health issues and deaths, it is a small setback. We have a lot to be grateful for.

2:03 am

I will tell her, zooz :) We are a bit worriesd about her, she complained of a sore throat and coughing, and her girlfriend had a cold. There has been a contact with someone with covid19, so it is a possibility. But yesterday she wasn't worse than the day before, I am praying that means it is not the flu. I cannot recommend getting it!

2:03 am

Glad Rob is well too Just hope you can keep yourself healthy. Five weeks of illness is a long time!

2:03 am

well, I didn't have to go to the intensive care and I am still alive, so I am not complaining.

2:04 am

N no illness is good. High temperature and consstent dry cough are the main symptoms.

2:05 am

That is neither here or there, Sprite. You must look after yourself so you can worry about your siblings! That is how it gos right?

2:06 am

goes*

2:06 am

I know. Am still coughing like mad, but the fever is down, haven't had a fever for 36 ho5 now, so that should mean I am over the flu. Got pneumonia, which is over now too. And now bronchitis. Once the organs are damaged by the virus, bacteria grab their chance, alas.

2:06 am

too true, dear man.

2:09 am

Pneumonia is the pits. Trying to get the phlem from your chest is a ruddy nightmare. I had it end of september and even now I am still trying to cough it out.

2:09 am

so true. And it hurts like the dickens.

2:10 am

ks killed

2:10 am

Never had the dickens but yeah it does

2:10 am

:D

2:11 am

🤣

2:11 am

I think, Rose has gone on a vacation the last I heard.

2:12 am

yes she has. I hope she is having a wonderful time. She needs the relaxation.

2:13 am

the government has informed us yesterday that the current measures are working, and that we will have to keep them up for at least 4 more weeks.

2:13 am

I would think everything would be closed due to all the lockdowns going on.

2:14 am

quite possible that the lockdowns in Aussie are not as tight as here. We have a much denser population.

2:15 am

Not sure what the timeline is here. some say a few more weeks and they might relax the lockdown some are saying it could go on for six months.Will just have to wait and see I guess.

2:15 am

isn't your government keeping you up to speed?

2:16 am

Yes they are. The only problem with that is they tell us one thing and the NHS is saying that that is not the case.

2:17 am

oh how frustrating. Here, they are doing it together. We had a press conference yesterday and it was clear as a bell.

2:17 am

Example. Government says they are ramping up testing to frontline staff to 25k a day. Nhs says they have had hardly any staff tested. Who do you believe.

2:19 am

very frustrating. Here, they are doing the same thing, keeping labs open longer. They want to expand testing of medical staff to people outside hospitals now. It takes a lot of tests. They also work on having 2400 ICU beds by Sunday. And they are opening corona hostels, where people can go who do not need ICU, but cannot take care of themselves.

2:21 am

Sounds good, Sprite! Glad your government is being quick about it and being open and honest with its people. I think ours are trying to do the same but they got the strategy wrong and so have had to change course and are now fighting a catch up game.

2:23 am

Sprite! How are you? I did not read anything yet, just saw you here and wanted to say hi and send hugs!

2:23 am

ah that is hard. Yeah, the government here is very open. They say dutch people cannot be commanded, they need to understand and when they do, they will conform. I think that is true.

2:23 am

Protect the elderly and ill healthed let the rest get it so they build up an immune to it I think I heard was the first strategy.

2:23 am

hi dear Kam *hugs*. I am getting better day by day now. I think we won the fight, now I need to recover from the whole ordeal. How about you and yours?

2:24 am

ouch, zooz! That is very wrong indeed. Even young, healthy people have died from it.

2:24 am

Hi, Kam. I need to go. let you two catch up. Nice to see you all Bye and stay safe and as healthy as you can xx

2:25 am

you too, zooz. *hugs*

2:29 am

Shoot, I missed saying hi to Zooz while I read the chog.

2:30 am

send him a virtual hug, it will reach him :D

2:30 am

I'm glad you're doing better, Sprite! We had a scare - hubby ended up in hospital for a few nights because he let his diabetes get out of control.

2:31 am

No you didn't :-) I just wanted to let you get a word in. I don't stop rabbiting so wanted to take a step back. Plus I can find some words too ❤

2:31 am

ouch, that is not good. Is it all sorted again?

2:32 am

Nightmare, with 14-yr-old grandson staying here...he refused to leave until he felt his Grandpa was doing ok. And no, it's not quite sorted...I don't think he got everything he needed from the pharmacy

2:33 am

troublesome :( I hope it will be okay soon. Fireflies here, and I have to go. Glad to have seen you, Kam. *hugs* and you are both in my prayers.

2:33 am

Since the hospital allows no visitors, I couldn't talk to the doctors and find out what the main issue was. Blood test all out of whack. He thought he had everything he needed to test, but there was no battery to run the glucose test

2:38 am

asorry to hear that, Kam. Can you not phone them to get the full results?

2:45 am

Zooz, we have to sign forms to get info. If he does not have what he needs by tomorrow, I will be making lots of noise. I hate being excluded from my husbands's care because of this stupid virus, but I do understand the necessity of decreasing exposure.

2:47 am

I just got frustrated and decided to save the grid for tomorrow. I'm exhausted.

2:52 am

Bless you, Kam trying to deal with this on your own must be hard. They should of made sure he had everything he needed. I would make plenty of noise. But for now you are tired and so need to rest. Have that then write down your plan of action and go for it.

2:54 am

You could also look on social media sites like facebook to see if others have had similar experiences and how they resolved them. Take an hour or so to do that. There might be some good suggestions.

2:55 am

I really do need to go this time. Hope you can get it all sorted out, ((Kam)) Bye for now.

Hello babble friends! Please accept my love and condolences. I’m on the the other side of the world so my words don’t come out in real time for many.. lickers is still making it possible to get clues out. I’m proud of our community. Stay safe xx

5:19 am

f's finished

8:33 am

*All of the under 30's scratch their heads and wonder what an LP player is

LOL

8:33 am

For you foodies out there, I have a Netflix recommendation for you. I have been watching "The Chef Show" with John Favreau. It is delightful.

for the record, my 19 yo has an LP player

thanks, judi, will check it out

8:34 am

Like we all aren't gaining enough weight being stuck at home.

I keep eating like I'm on the Titanic while it's going down

8:36 am

Things haven't got that dire, Carla. Hoard the food. Don't eat the food. I know. Easier said than done. I have a hard time not justifying having Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream in the house.

8:37 am

"It's the apocolypse. We deserve to have ice cream." etc., etc....

I've developed a thing for mint chocolate chip ice cream

8:38 am

new ben and Jerry's flavor Covid and Cream is coming out

8:38 am

Ha ha! I wouldn't doubt it , Ru.

ru, are you okay there? you haven't bitten on 2 puns today.

8:38 am

It should be Covid & Scream

8:38 am

better yet molly

8:40 am

I am going to spend too much money on a steak dinner Friday to support the restaurant that my son manages. Plus, I will know who is doing my curb side service. : D

8:40 am

oh god if i had ice cream around the house that'd be the end of me

my friend sent a pic of NC gov with headline that kids have to repeat their grade. then our other friend says "oh, it's April Fools!" who does April Fools jokes during this?

8:41 am

seriously, april fools is canceled this year

yep, just like I'm postponing my birthday for better times

8:41 am

Noble of you, Molly. We too are spending too much money today - purchased steaks from the local family-owned butcher shop. Eye-popping prices. But (don't tell Haz & Ata), they have fresh rabbit and we also got some nice NY strip steaks.

8:42 am

I'm still trying to figure out who goes on vacation during this. I got a call yesterday and the woman who called said "While Dan is on vacation..." Seriously?

8:42 am

Uhg. I repeated myself there. More coffee is needed.

well, I have made it to 25 words left and can't find any more.

yeah, who and how is someone on vacation?

8:43 am

If someone else is enjoying a vacation right now, I'll be pissed. I had to cancel mine. * hands on hips*

8:43 am

(hopes scrabs doesn't show up right now)

yep, still waiting for my vrbo refund

8:44 am

Oh I am not even going to say what I thought that refund was for : O

8:44 am

Aaaaah! Who is eating rabbit?

8:45 am

May my cawnivawus statements be stwicken fwum the weckod.

8:45 am

I don't get the vacation thing. What could people possibly be doing? Beaches are closed, restaurants are closed, etc.

haha

I don't know either molly

my friends who own beach houses have both been there with their families since school shut down. I am jealous they are there.

8:46 am

Ooooh. I know! Lets drive from one shelter-in-place to this other shelter-in-place to gaze out the sealed windows at the landscape we can't enjoy.

8:46 am

top row grey (just being annoying now)

8:47 am

Sounds like a ton of fun Judi. : D

I though you already said that? what is my missing a then?

8:47 am

Then again, if we try to drive across state lines, we may get stopped and sent back home. :-((

judi, my one friend can hear the ocean from her house, so that's nice. also they are on a small island and the beach isn't crowded even on holidays so they can go out on it and not be near anyone.

8:48 am

Probably the missing A is au + short for what you make at a dining establishment to save you a table

ooh, found my missing a - au5 for the other person that was looking with me

8:49 am

That sounds lovely, Carla. I certainly envy them at this time.

now just need 3 t's from top row

and yes, that was it Molly, where were you earlier?? ;)

8:49 am

Wealthy people with vacation homes...someday I would like to be one of them.

8:50 am

Name that proper noun: Soda of the Caribbean.

mr. homie is working on our motorhome and currently has it inoperable, but there's really nowhere to go with it.

8:50 am

Got it, thanks Howie

yw, tigereye!

8:51 am

Hokie even

we follow various full-time RVers on youtube and one of them was saying the other day the place they were at closed but they were allowed to stay. that would be pretty awful if you lived in your RV and had nowhere to go.

8:52 am

For those of you who can donate blood, I read that The Red Cross is experiencing a shortage of blood and is asking those who can, to donate.

I have never done it but should probably check into it.

8:53 am

I believe Walmart parking lots are a safe haven for RV'ers, if they can't find a campground.

8:53 am

The only Caribbean bubbly I know is Red Stripe. : D

8:53 am

I, unfortunately, cannot donate blood [due to a lower hematocrit than their standards]

that's nice Judi, but eventually they're going to need to empty the tanks!

8:54 am

A Walmart parking lot. Now THAT'S a vacation. Boy howdy.

8:54 am

Soda of the Caribbean is a word too so can't post it on the chat

Ok. Well, add an a to the end of that word and you'll have the Caribbean soda, mon.

8:57 am

Both se6 sound like not Congress. Different last two letters.

8:57 am

My husband's hair is a disaster - needs cutting. My roots are just starting to show. Eh. It will be the new trend.

10:07 am

Sorry. Didn't realize I was giving up a word there.

10:08 am

10:27 am

10:27 am

you will NEVER SEE ME in a man bun.. :D not ever

I honestly don't get how any guy thinks that is a good look. It's not.

10:29 am

clue for tr5,18 plz

10:39 am

fw

10:39 am

russell brand has done videos where he tells you the tr5/18 = tr4 + ne4 (smushed)

10:39 am

nm - just realized the 8 is the plural

10:40 am

close-fitting tartan trousers, worn especially by certain Scottish regiments

tr 5/18 is a plural without a singular. rhymes with pt. of making a sketch + plural

10:40 am

is it terrible if i like russell brand's version better? lol

Amelu, pretty picture, but it's huge. Is that your yard?

Yes, sorry, I always forget how to shrink the pics. That started as 6 small plants, 3 along each side of the walkway, about 40 years ago (I'm guessing).

4:10 pm

If you go all the way to the bottom right, you can see the back tail light of one of our trucks. Gives you a better perspective.
