hello everyone - glad you are ok une
pi 8/9
No storms, but days of blustery winds, some rain, andeven sunshine. Oh, and snow one morning. Typical Ohio, 4 season. . . in a week.
Much damage in Louisiana but friends and family there are ok
une, I just looked at the map on weather.gov. Wow. (note: some of the colors are so similar my old eyes can't distinguish. . . and what is "hydrologic outlook?)
Dunno :-)
ey7/8
justafreep, is the pi8/9 a compound word perchance? I am stumped.
yes it is and it has two totally different meanings.

morning babblers. Ks killed.

howdy, sprite, good to see ya
hi melon and rbud, how are you doing?
still kicking, yay for that these days.
ah, wrong T!
T's tromped!
The funny thing is, I almost typed it in the, thought, oops, not there. heh, it always pays to give a try!
very true, rbud :) Good to hear. You keep on kicking, ya hear?
nbt, nbs all ≥ 7, and halfway. mediocrity attained! beddy bye calls! nite, all!

nite, melon
and how are you, sprite, I heard you had a rough spell?
yeah, it's been an interesting 6 weeks. But really on the mend now!
very good to hear. ♥
:)
ok, now, that second go4 is just too strange. new one for me.
the bird?
I guess so, at least one definition.
it's been in grids before. Only place I ever encountered it though, in babble :)
I've seen it with an A instead of O.
yeah... doesn't it mean to stare, spelled like that?
thouht so, but the morewords def. leads to a bird and says it's "called also ga**y". Never heard it used like that.
me neither
always some new bit of learning to be had here, haha. Makes life interesting.
woopedy doo....*hugs, hugs, hugs*g'day sprite. how are you feeling honey?
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend! Feeling okay. A little better each day. And you?
doing as well as i can be. hospital and clinic closed. you know what that means. i'm living on valium, magnesium and endone plus the regular stuff.
I have been thinking about that, darling. Not an easy thing for you, having to postpone the infusions and all. You are in my prayers.
some days are better than others. had a video chat with all my boys, their wives and the grandies yesterday. so that was a pick-me-upper.
oh lovely!
glad to see you up and about again. you had all of us worried. your kids kept me in the loop though. stopped me from panicking.

back. Yeah, it's been a bit of scare. Have never been sick for so long. But it is all good now, all that's left is building up energy and muscles again
btw. you know FB? you do have an account i know. did you know i can call you, free, via FB messenger and video chat with you? all you have to do is make sure your sound is on, and when asked, allow FB to use your audio and video things blit into your laptop.
nope, not on FB
I use skype or zoom for video chat
you do have a FB account. i have just opened FB typed in your name and there you are.
Morning all - please excuse the nosiness but I am intrigued - Sprite did you have Corona or just a normal flu ?
yes sweetie, but I do not use it
hiya ursh, I am a lucky survivor of the corona virus
Oh yay - I am happy - I can now say I know somebody who recovered and is almost back to normal :):)
*explosive laughter* sprite ?? normal ?? never
I actually have about 3 FB accounts, and I have given up. Too much of a time sink for me
but if you only use it to talk to me.....
thanks ursh! Yes, and that is the normal outcome, thanks God, the people who die or have lasting damage are in the minority.
Not very trustful re FB either, rose. I prefer skype or zoom, I can have my security settings in place then and know my stuff is not for grabs. FB is not at all secure.
hmmm... Don is trusting it. so long as you don't click on the wrong things.
*gentle nudge* do you know that on Whatsapp, on an android phone, you can videochat too? :D
*stronger, gentle nudge back* and you know how i feel about tablet phones....
FB is notorious for not being secure. Even when you have your security settings all on ultra stealth, you still have to check often because they find loopholes.
just saying... and we could play word games together then too. Worth learning to use an android phone for :D
s'okay. i was only asking if i could call you. nothing more, nothing less.
you can, but not on FB
okay
we've been using skype and zoom a lot in OA. No other meetings allowed atm, of course, so it is all virtual.
I found the fish!
how's Rob doing at work? still a downer?
no, we are back on track. With the tiny house as well. He is pretty upbeat now.
oh you asked at work!
good news! The team where he actually felt at home, but that he was told was only temporary, did not like the idea of hime leaving for another position, lol. When he told them he had applied for another job within the firm, they all of a sudden offered him a 2 year position. So he is happy.
fireflies
wow !! that's wonderful news. such a good thing for him to hear that he is valued and appreciated.
WTG SPRITE !!!
exactly. Really overdue, that, and it is doing him a world of good.
oooohhh, send plans of tiny house. i wanna see.
honey, am gonna lie back down for a spell, energy runs out rather quickly still. *hugs* and it was lovely to see you here again. Am praying for you. Give Don a hug, and have another one yourself :D
will do, honey
hanx honey. rest well my dear. xox
Hi All - finding Babble even more wonderful during the lockdown! Love and best wishes to all at this really difficult time.
Tiki
Best wishes back to you and yours as well. :)
Sorry about that - not concentrating!
Thanks rbud and keep safe
oh, I had that one, no worries. ;)
all done, good luck babblers - off to bed here.
Well done and sleep well!
Just getting up here!
firebirds :D
Could I have the stats for the 7s please?
May I have stats, please, for the W in the upper right corner?
We4/8
Thanks!
Glad you are recovering Sprite. My prayers are with you.
I have found 82 words, but nothing bigger than a six (and only three of those)...
I have got one of the 8s and a 9, but otherwise nothing bigger than a 6 and only 1 of those
Oooh, can you tell me the stats for your 8 and 9? And if they're 'real' words?
pi8/70 and pl
They are compound words, but yes they are real
Found 'em, thanks!
Good Morning
Does anyone have the ey7-8 combo they could give me a hint on, please?
what you look through in a mask, matty
Thanks! I think I'd tried every other possible last four letters before the ocular organ, but that one ;)
your welcome
this seems to be an easy grid to close out tiles
Hi Ru!
And then you hit a wall :)
thanks sukee i knew it wasn't going to last :D
hi matty
I was motoring along until I got to 22 left
I've had to go to the list - 8 left now
i'm at 15 but not seeing much now
I am having a hard time figuring out the big PI words.
Fireworks! Have a great day, all.
They are combo words.
Yeah, I saw that earlier,
It is a toy that spins in the wind.
ah! and I was assuming the color was part of the word! Thank you, Sukee!
The wind is back!
Okay, I am down to 19.
It is supposed to be very windy here today.
Going to take a break, good luck
ITs very blowy here too!
not going to comment on that one either
may I get a clue for the last WH 6/33 pls
We are currently under a tornado warning.
wh 6 more of all of it
wow bea.. be safe.. i wouldn't like to live in a tornado zone
but i'm guessin you wouldn't want to live in earthquake country or my fire ridden county
Thanks so much
yw phan
how are you feeling now?
You got it. I'll deal with tornados any time.
about the same. Thanks
so glad it didn't get worse for you.. such a scary illness this one
yes. It has been one week since I got sick
from what i read you still have to be really careful
does the pi8 buid of the pi6 ?
yes I have heard that too.
no m3
M3, no it doesn't, It is a compound word
ok ill keep looking thx
it's clued below m3
----> scrolls down
i'm doing my best to not catch this thing.. it'd probably put me in the hospital and I can't have that happen
may I ask why you say that? I have asthma and was very worried about getting it. My asthma is only mildly inflamed
i had asthma as a kid and i also had a serious bout of Pneumonia when i was in my twenties that damaged my lungs
I see. Yes, I would be very careful. I guess you are staying home then?
I came pretty close to death at that time.. which means you all would have been spared my awful puns and corny jokes though
I'm trying not to get it because I don't want to give it to my mom. She has severe asthma and COPD. This would kill her.
I for one am glad for your awful puns and corny jokes...
yes.. staying home completely other than short errands to get meds for my dog or shopping
As am I ru.
yes bea i was wondering about that too with you guys
Do you have cloth masks?
yeah.. luckily i have several n95's from the fires and just using them
I do. I wear them anytime I go to the store or pharmacy.
good!
i've been shopping for my ex who is appreciative as she's very concerned about catching anything.. and in return she's loaded me up with Masks, soaps, and santizing stuff..she's a bit of a germaphobe and this is the apocalypse for her
all the grocery stores here have instituted limits and other safety measures. I feel for the workers as they are at high risk seeing so many people each day
I'm not a germaphobe, but I agree this is close to the apocalypse...
anyone who deals with worm shit couldn't be a germaphobe :D
Same here with the stores. And it irritates me the stores they are allowing to remain open because they are "essential".
That is certainly true. =)
so yesterday in my neighborhood there were a zillion cars of people coming over family's homes and having easter dinner.. are these people nuts? i couldn't believe it
I know. My friends in KS all had family dinners. Absurd!
good morning, everyone
i was walking my dog and there wasn't a parking space on the street within two blocks of my house and kids playing outside and parents standing round drinking.. unbelievable
hey welki
Morning, welki.
phan is that a german shepherd in your icon?
Yes, she was a GSD mix, but she strongly favored the GSD in her, in looks and personality. She was such a good girl.
As you know, I live in the 'hood...There are teens and young adults all over the place all day long. And the bootleggers house is very active.
i just love that breed.. such incredible dogs
bootlegger ? in your neighborhood? holy cow
Yes. I am looking to adopt another one. But we decided to wait for things to settle down with corona since I am a nurse. And then I got sick, so it was a good thing we did!
my current dog is my last one.. i have had a great run with dogs, but I can't do it anymore
why is that?
tell me about your pooch...
well. a number of reasons .. one i'm older now and i don't want my pet to outlive me (like what happened to Ruby) that would kill me..secondly i am getting closer to retirement and would like to travel some and not be tied down.
(that's what we said, ru. i know you've given it a lot of thought and planned out what your future should look like, but never say never)
That makes sense. I am thinking that when we do finally adopt, it will probably be my last for the same reason, don't want my dog to end up in a shelter.
i know welki I cannot imagine being without one, but i'm really set in my mind on it. I may (when i retire) work with an animal shelter or do dog walking, but that's going to be it.. losing Chelsea this last December just about killed me
maybe you'll foster when you're home
yeah.. like fostering is going to work out with me :D any dog that would come here would likely stay here
well yeah, that's what i was thinking :)
chelsea was really a foster too.. but she swept me away with her sweetness
We fostered boxers for a long time.
she'd had such a rough life that i wanted to give her some good years
What breed was Chelsea?
and for sure, i understand what phan and you are saying, about leaving our pets behind - we say daphne is our last, too (and she probably is, as she's only 3 years old now)
Golden Retreivers are my breed phan.. but my first dog was a giant German Shep
Goldens are great dogs!
I showed them and competed with them in Obedience and did therapy work with one great dogs
fireworks!
so true welki.. i would imagine that Ruby was worried about her dogs when she was really ill.. I just can't ever be in that place.. it's too unfair to the dog
and to be honest.. there's no guarantee i'm going to live for another 15 years.. so i'm just being realistic
no warranties
i'll shut up now i've been hogging the chat.. but one thing bea.. i don't know boxers but your photos and videos make me want to have one
They are the clowns of the dog world.
you haven't met my dog yet :D there is no bigger goof than this one
had a friend with a boxr named Pippy. Nice little boxer I thought. When I met it it could dtand with paws on my shoulders and look me in the face - and often did. 'Hes taken to you'' his owners said. And he had-everytime I sat down he wanted to sit on my lap. So heavy I couldnt move!! Loved that dog
And they are just big old lap dogs.
That's why I have a Bichon. 13 lbs
the only small breed i like are pugs
we always had boxers on the farm, reat dogs, pets. Ru, I am always glad when you are on the chat.
at the shelter, i met lots of little ones i could have easily taken home - and big ones, and medium ones....
I'm too old now to hqve a dog, but I'm lone here--it would be nice to hve a cat that sleeps and purrs. I might foster an old czt--but they wreathe around your ankles and this is no time (if there ever is) to fall.
yes.. one has to start being really careful about falling when you're older. i've noticed my balance isn't as great as it used to be
it was wobbly when i was young and partying and now it's wobbly without drinking :D
You have to practice balance as you get older. I stand on one foot while I'm brushing my teeth. 30 seconds left, 30 seconds right, repeat
oh.. the jethro tull brushing method
I'm glad Rasta met you, Ru. She had a cousin with her whom we scarcely know but who is lonesome. I know she must be closed somewhere, as we all are.
i met the cousin... a very nice person.. i liked rasta too a really solid human
gillian and Eddy have many animal friends on their little farm--I write about them in Ill Times, as I do about you people on the chat. Trif's college play was a hit.
Hi kids.
yeah.. Trif likes to be around drama
I should never read through the chat too fast. I was sure that someone (phrn?) was hoping to adopt a bootlegger.
So glad you met them, and liked Rasta.
hi scrabs
You are up early, ruru.
i know.. couldn't sleep
adopt a bootlegger.. :D that'd be bea
I have slept poorly for the last month.
you could pick him up in distil of the night bea :D
Gives home brew a wh5 new meaning.
TY for the clue, pg
she surely enjoyed it--and she IS solid. Cressida in France--her daughter--is doing well, pretty saf near the Pyranees. Last summer Gillian installed a high grade eco toilet at our place in Vermont, and installed a dock on our little lake. I hope we can go there this summer,
I sure hope you get there, RB. I know how special that place is for you.
YW, Scrabbler.Pl too
good morning
hiya doren
slow
Doren! How are you doing?
Morning, all
uh oh. free word there
I already have that one, Doren.
Hi Scrabbs, Ru. I'm doing okay. The way I see it, I've visited Anne Frank's house(attic) and Nelson Mandela's prison cell on Robben Island, and I have no right to complain.
PG, I do not want to adopt a bootlegger...Already got one. =)
hi all, does anyone need any clues?
I read down in the chat and I can agree, Ru's dog is definitely a goof!
Scrabbs, how's the practice going?
Probably, but I haven't listed yet. Thanks for offering!
No thanks Ata but good morning ( or afternoon)
Hi Atalante. Did you see Featherbee's photos on FB? They found a litter of newborn kittens in their barn 2 days ago, and mama has been around.
Hi. Atalante,I need the E From 2nd column.Also bigger words.So far I don't have anything bigger than a 6
Doren, it is scary because we don't know if we are being exposed to COVID and must assume we are.
2 e4 from 2nd column
No I didn't!!!
TY
You will love the photos and videos. I have watched them numerous times.
big words are Es and Ps
Didn't know that word. Must be a babblet. Hope I remember it.
i believe in spaying and neutering
That's what goes on with my son as well, scrabbs. And his clinic (Johns Hopkins, East Balatimore) was only giving him surgical masks!
Ruru, it is a stray cat.
I feel for all of you in the field. I know you're being careful, but I also know the anxiety that must come bubbling up (of course not my son. He is invincible)
the rescue organization that i work with traps and spays feral cats
We have N95 masks and wash our hands frequently. The difficulty with young kids is that that sneeze, cough, spit, fight during exams. We have to wrestle toddlers.
So do I. I've TNR on sixty cats.
TNR?
Trap Neuter Release
2/5 docs in our office have needed testing due to illness and have been negative. False negative? Neither have been terribly ill.
Trap, neuter release
False negatives are definitely a thing
25% false negative rate for current tests.
you are such a saint bea.. you really are.. you and une are my heroes
I know in AStoria they are telling people the tests are around 60% accurate, which is probably not too far off teh truth
Awe, shucks, ru. <blushing> =)
my new fridge and freezer are not working :( all defrosted in freezer and food in fridge not cold. called my landlady
I'm a giver too bea.. but not at the level you guys are at
If my partners truly had COVID they were lucky to have mild illnesses and may be immune. Antibody testing will tell us someday.
hi all
Oh, no, Peri.
certain symptoms don't lie. My daughter in law has dry cough, pain breathing, extreme fatigue. after seven days she was tested.. negative. Her sister and two brother-in-laws are MD's. They are sure she has it
That is a great way to start the week, peri. I'm sorry.
oh sorry Peri, bad timing
i hope your son doesn't catch it doren
It's just terrible, the way the administration has stopped us from getting the accurate tests the rest of the world is using
Yes, that is COVID, Doren.
And even with these broken tests, we have the highest numbers in the world
Me too, ru. She's been quarantined in the guest room, he's been cooking and baking up a storm and taking great care of her but he is super cautious.. It's his nature.. he's a nurturer. But he also inherited his father's cautious (not quite paranoid) behavior
Good Morning all. Can't wait for the antibody test
What day is she at in the illness, Doren?
Oh the numbers would be SO much higher if we had adequate testing. And here in NJ there are many deaths being attributed to pneumonia, etc that are most likely COVID
And an effective, vaccine!
i'm all for the vaccine
right, Scrabbs! Pretty sure SIL has it
maybe 9 or 10, Scrab. And she says she's starting to feel better.
Dorens, it's weird how behaviors that previously would be considered paranoid are now recommended
Good, Doren.
i just got the pneumonia 28 vaccine and my arm hurt like hell for a week
That what I have been wondering. They are now reporting people dieing from "complications" of covid. Is that so US numbers don't look so bad?
Mine too ru. And the shingles at the same time.
I saw a guide from my work today about how to protect your family from exposures if you're a healthcare worker and it recommended things like sanitizing every item you bring out of the house, removing all clothing at the door...
weve always reported complications from ...
i'm doing the shingles after all this crap is over.. my doctor said to wait two weeks to do the shingles, but then this pandemic happened
It's because the family running our country has a financial stake in the company they gave the contract for the tests to.
Many health care workers are not living at home. They are in hotels or RVs. There is a new service called RVs for MDs.
Yeah Zabeth, my ex was becoming more and more paranoid (and politically conservative) over the years. I hear he has a doomsday bunker in his new house. Stocked up for 6 months and has guns as well. But then again, he was able to send N95 masks to my son who needed them for his work in the clinic
They are talking about people dying ‘with’ the virus here on this side of the Atlantic. A few weeks ago they were talking about people dying ‘from’ the virus
wow doren really?
Scrabbler--before we knew whether I'd be seeing patients in person my spouse and I talked about whether we'd live separately. She has asthma, and we didn't want to risk it. Fortunately I'm doing 100% telehealth.
if i had a doomsday bunker it'd mostly be a wine cellar :D
He's a brilliant neurologist, Ru. But yeah
wow, Doren. Masks and food are useful now, not sure about the guns...
I'd like yours better, I'm sure
i know you would ;)
What kind of doc are you, zabeth? I am a pediatrician.
One of the reasons he's my ex. We were married very young, he picked up some weird hobbies and interests over the years. We stayed married for 20 years and produced some outstanding kids
That is true at least the two i've met
We are not healthcare workers but rejigged our living arrangements to keep loved ones safe. My partner is living with his elderly parents, his sister moved out as she works in a hospital (into her nieces flat who moved in with her boyfriend). My mother moved in with me.
Believe me Ru, if and when you meet Jeremy you will be wowed
We are not healthcare workers but rejigged our living arrangements to keep loved ones safe. My partner is living with his elderly parents, his sister moved out as she works in a hospital (into her nieces flat who moved in with her boyfriend). My mother moved in with me.
I'm just a marine ecologician
what do you mean "Just"?
Scrabbler, I'm a psychologist
I don't get masks :D
Nice, zabeth.
ah
that was what my degree was going to be in college ata marine biology
great zabeth.. we could use one of those around here :D
its a fun degree
I Know.. i wish i finished college..I always wanted to teach
ru, you teach wine to lots of folks
i think i would have been a really decent teacher
Alright folks, I'm gonna try to be productive. It's hard to stay on task working from home. Catch later :)
*catch you later
with your sense of humor, ru.. yes!

hey hokie
bzz and hokie we made it through the storm!
yeah, I discovered an hour after the tornado watch expired that we had a tornado watch
We had a tornado warning early this morning.
I would rather have earthquakes
we got a storm last night I think it was windy but power stayed on and not much damage in my area
just not big ones though
I think they both have their horribleness
bzz do you still have that warning now?
No. Expired at 8:15.
I was reading about this one in the 50s or 60s outside of Yellowstone where the entire side of the mountain slid down onto a campground and killed a bunch of people
lots of sunshine now:)
Rain and flooding have stopped as well. None here yet.
yikes
So, what are you having for breakfast today, mlf?
I have literally tried every L4 possibility. so weird.
pasta and sauce
le x 3
I think hubby was going to thaw something but I told he not to just in case
ok, it's def. le then, thx
got it. I swear I tried that more than once
Like spaghetti sauce?

i got the ey7/8:)
is it a compound word?
i think so or marinara
for breakfast? ugh

sauce
hokie yes it is
have you guys ever heard of chickens and eggs MLF ? :D

chicken and eggs? what about it besides what hokie just said?
am declaring this a leftovers day here.. we have been cooking up a storm and now the fridge is cluttered with leftovers.. time for a smorgasborg
well that is weird (ey7/8). makes me think of skull
skull?
i think its another name for sockets?
ty hokie, that was the clue I needed to see it!
We have leftover day all the time, Aloy.
well I meant skulls, but yes
Actually, I think it is related to masks.
omg just found the pi 8/9:)
makes more sense, bea
we do too bzz
you're on quite a roll, mlfan.
Wow! Clues in the chat help a lot, dont they?

That commercial was hilarious.

the camel humpday one still makes me LOL
agreed judi
well, my last words were pi8 and pi9, used to blow on them and watch them spin, a popular favor for a child's party. The to6 bird ends with the start of a laugh or giggle and begins with pulling something behind. Leaving clues behind as I head out. See you all next time!

Thanks very much Vi - never seen that word before - all done - now calm !!
ooooh i just found the 8/9 combo and it's so fun!!!!
My pleasure. Glad to have helped retain your sanity, Marian.
Yes, all the long words are fun today.
not the one you just clued, lol
Yes it is! It's a nice little bird with a very pleasing call. =)
well it's a nice BIRD then, but it's not a nice WORD
is there an H 6/7 combo?
no, there isn't
But I am missing a 7, so maybe that one's not fun.
well, it is either an H or another T
but it's not a combo because the 4 i was missing was an H
Yes, I still need 1 H and 1 T.
oh and are those your last two, same as me?
any clues needed?
2ND 5/12 HO
clue pls?
No, I have 9 left.
ok, the H was a 6, so the third 7 is another T
2 T7s
got it!!!
phone prefix + start of bone words
ata do you have the 2nd ho 5/12?
ho5/12 think of a famous old sports announcer, beginning of his first name + end of his last name
Great, thanks, hursh. I had been focussing on H.
howel
oops
howel
Is the second a snaky garden waterer with a consonant on the end?
Ah yes, looks like hursh and I are cluing the same thing.
yes
ty hurshy
FW! Thanks all for the help!
Yay for MLFAN!
so you see the pure white bib on Rilla, the kitty in my picture?
Yes? And the BIG eyes! lol
it reflects the purity of the little kitten heart that beats within
she has normal sized eyes, but a small head :D
silverclaw has a small head AND big eyes :D
That's very physiognomous of you.It was more the big black pupils I was impressed by. She was very interested in something during that picture!
no, that's the normal resting eyes. they'd be even bigger if she was very interested in something.
how is sily these days, ata?
very meow-y :D
and getting a tiny bit old
how old is she?
nearly 15
go sily!
She qualifies as a senior citizen. =)
very much so!
Our previous cat of happy memory only made it to 13.
awwwwww and she's very healthy, well for a cat of 14 3/4
Well, I'm done and off to other activities. Nice to see you. Farewell, all!

:-)
