Hello, Flosey. Hope all is well with you and family. Several people have been concerned about you. Please take care. Best wishes.

cooee and g'day from me to you. {{peach}} {{lizgirl}} {{flosey}} {{rasta}} {{diz}} {{jess}} {{mubner}} {{jane}} {{rain}}
Hi Rose - how's that for timing. I've been chatting to a friend and just came back to babble - hope all's well with you and yours.
yes thanx lizgirl timing impeccable as always. hope all is well with you and yours. as soon as we are allowed to travel we are coming back up.
All's good here. Looking forward to being allowed to walk on the beach again next week. Still staying well away from everyone.
i don't care if our restrictions are lifted. i am going to continue in isolation for another two weeks. if no second outbreak, THEN i will allow myself some freedom.
The beaches shouldn't be crowded during the week - if they are, we'll stay away. Wouldn't go near them at the weekend. But it's pretty easy to avoid people when walking on the beach - there's enough space!
I don't think border restrictions will or should be lifted for a long time. I'm pretty p**d off - should've been flying to the UK on Thursday for my nephew's wedding.
15 left. BBL. Stay safe everyone.
sorry. had to reboot.
darn. missed her. enjoy your evening lizgirl.

Good afternoon all....hope everyone is safe and happy!

MEL!
I could use some advice. Last year friends of my son asked if they could have their wedding at our place. No more than 100 people on the guest list. Well as you all know, things have changed in our world and I am afraid of having that size a gathering. I hoped they would say they'd make other plans but I haven't heard a word. How do I handle this June wedding?
I'd take advice from wedding professionals / event organisers, there must be some webinars or guidelines or something. Or just say no, in a polite and loving way
Maybe things will open up by June? I would definitely talk to them now and share your concerns. Let them know ou are having second thoughts. But they need to know NOW.
I don't want to be that person who takes back her word. There is no money exchanged just gardening. They cleaned out my huge overgrown garden in exchange for the use of our property
Do I offer to pay them for their labors?
the world is different now .... that would be a lovely thing to do
Today is my personal deadline. It's really weighing on me.
I don't know how to even start the conversation.
they will be worrying about it too
I feel terrible.
My children are all like no way.
don't, its not your fault coronavirus came along and changed everyone's priorities
Gramma, take it out of your hands contact them and say, Hi regrads wedding etc, one can presume there will be still restricions in place have you considered alternate arrangemtns?
I am not in a position to offer an alternative. They will be travelling from Canada so maybe it's a moot point.
if you're in a vulnerable category, you just have to say it can't happen and given border restrctions you wouldn't want them to organise an amazing wedding and not be able to travel. but that you'd happily help as you can with flowers? whatever?
The wedding invitations were sent out and the tent and caterers are booked. I guess I just have to pull up my big girl panties and call them.
gramma, I am very surprised that they haven't been in touch with you....with regards to cancelling the whole wedding...nobody is getting married right now.....weddings that were booked for this are all being postponed until at least Sept/Oct even November....I am just very surprised that they haven't contacted you before now....the onus is not on you gramma
I'd be amazed if they weren't waiting for the call
I agree with your children. This is not your fault and I'm surprised these people have not contacted you. You should contact them as soon as possible to let them know...
'morning, all
gramma, don't forget that our borders are closed to each other, except for essential travel
Morning welki...
Well today is the day. Oh how I wish I wasn't a grown up.
When did they send out the invitations?
it's likely that the closures will be extended past the end of may
The wedding is June
of course they will welki....its just wishful thinking, if anyone thinks otherwise!!
General rule of thumb is to send invitation six to eight weeks before a wedding. That would have been smack in the middle of all this virus stuff. I can't believe they sent them out.
Thanks everybody. I will get it over with and let you know how it turns out. bbl
Methinks they live in a bit of a bubble
Good luck!
I think it was WAY overly optimistic of them to send out wedding invitations for a June wedding with all that has gone on.
Exactly!
Even if their host said yes, and they went ahead, I bet a lot of invited guests would decline.
Gramma - I looked at the Vermont Health Department website. It states that travelers to Vermont should quarantine for at least 14 days after arrival. I think that settles the question.
Of course they would...
...and the 14 day quarantine is world-wide
My sympathy lies with gramma...she must be in knots...
If she was generous enough to offer her place as a wedding venue, that couple should have been in touch with her long before now.
so - the gathering is too big, it is 'non-essential' travel, folks coming into vermont will have to quarantine for 14 days, lodging and eat-in restaurants will be difficult to find for guests. even if vermont 'opens,' it's own website says the rules are here to stay until there's a vaccine.
just finished, any clues needed?
Congrats, luv. Thanks, I'll keep plugging along...
ty Bea :-)
If people have to stay at home until there is a vaccine, we are in a lot of trouble. People are already a month without income and a vaccine for this thing is months if not a year off.
The quote was in reference to physical distancing
vermont's chief medical officer said, "Physical distancing from others “is here to stay,†he said, until an anti-viral treatment or a vaccine is developed." https://tinyurl.com/uunva\nzg
now, that's strange - a broken tiny url link https://tinyurl.com/uunvazg
That still has huge ramifications. For the entertainment industry, the salon industry, the travel industry. And probably dozens of others I am not thinking of at the moment.
Hi all, I don't chat often but I play whenever I have the chance. Just wanted to say to Gramma about the wedding - It's completely reasonable under the circumstances to cancel. You could offer your location again when the social distance restrictions are lifted and it's safe to have a gathering again.
Molly it's a financial disaster world-wide....so many businesses will just never appear again....
tarted
Flask, has there been any reaction yet to the minister's comments about this thing now showing signs of affecting the health of some noticeable number of young children
dose...other than surprise and fear, not really...yet!
... just wondering ... thanks
At the very beginning the "proffessionals" insisted that those of 70yrs should be the most worried.....utter claptrap.....as we now know
... when this thing first started out I noticed a report that it appeared that 20-25% of those who were recovering (I believe in Wuhan or China as a whole) were left afflicted with permanent lung and/or pulmonary damage. This situation wounds like you're finding small kids showing signs of such damage even though they appear to have been asymptomatic.
... never heard anymore ... the report had just seemed to have vanished as the spread took hold
I don't know exactly what Gramma's situation vis a vis said wedding but here people are doing weddings with 20 people and all other "guests" are sent Zoom links or some other on line only link. People just have to soldier on. I am in Israel and religious, couples don't have physical contact until married so postponing the wedding isn't a viable option. So 20 guests it is.Next week they are already lifting some restrictions.
We only had 40 new cases this week. Social distancing DOES work.
.I find the whole thing very scary....
... I don't disagree
Like millions of others I am severely disabled and as a result I am left with ventillation problems....hence the reason I am scared
... from here I can only wish you luck and command you to stay well ...
hello all

Kaboomer in war time

Thanks, Bea.
the boston harbor islands are GORGEOUS and many are run as state parks now. It's super frustrating for those of us on the south shore, however, as the ferry service STINKS - you have to drive into boston and get the ferry to an island I can see from Hingham Harbor - it makes NO sense.
we went to spectacle island this past summer
OHHHHHHH that is my FAVORITE Harry!
it was crazy hot
Near Boston myself!
I hadn't realized that it was mostly fill from the big dig
all the cool kids are, jzw! lol
Lovely swimming beach, harry, and cant' beat the view!
Have you walked around Deer Island? No boat needed!
I take my students to deer island every year to tour the sewage treatment plant!
I've been wanting to do that!
yup! And Castle, Lovell's, George's a billion times, Plum, and I swam to the one with the church on it once....
Peddocks?
i have found 9 m words at the moment
this ranger took us on a walk on spectacle, and I was touching all the vegetation, and then she mentioned about one weed which was an irritant and shouldn't be touched, and my hand had a really bad rash for the next few months :)
i want a boat now....
oh no! do you remember what it was?
I don't :)
so I will probably do the same thing again next time :)
lolol. I always leave with contraband sea glass.
my husband said for the longest time he wanted a boat but the past few years he has said no he doesn't.
ooh you're a scofflaw
burning nettle?
i can live without one ty:)
morning all, 179 to go for me
its a stupid rule! It's pretty trash! you can collect it on George's but not Spectacle? Screw that!
I dont' think so suzzee
oh mool that will be 0 in about 10min or so
yeah, I know mlf....Bust Out Another Thousand.....
I think it looked less dangerous
heh
probably not 0 :)
I was surprised it was harmful
ok gotta go to class. 46 to go.
bye!
I hate nettle...feels like you rolled your hand in fiberglass
has anyone seen uusue?
Im thinking hogweed
oops! me too, class at 10! bye all!
Not on babble, mlf.
I haven't seen her on fb either.
haven't seen her for a while
Nasty nettle in MA and New England. My nephew used to do maintenance for a 9-hole golf course. Literally ran into nettle all the time. Painful blisters. Not much you can do for it. Oatmeal bath, calamine lotion.
24 left. Time for a break.
congrats judi
20 to go
just got here. I have found 17 :D
hi hokie
howdy
not finished yet mool?? are you slacking again/:)
On a customer call :)
oh:)
ooh, found an 8
at hokie?
Is it the quilting one?
yep
quilting one
two 8s okie
I'm just on the 2nd row
3 8s here, and a 9
that has to do with quilting?
i gtg will be back...
Do you want the 4th 8, mool?
me8 is a word that is associated with free motion quilting
that gives me the last 8 thx hoke
glad I could help :D
heh
Carla, I started my fabric slashing project yesterday. I'm really excited about it.
I did do some googling. It's pretty but I don't know what I'd do with it. What are you making with yours? wall hanging?
I'm going to make a pillow cover to match the quilt I'm making.
ooh, found an 8/9
cool. can't wait to see pics.
I'm going to look at making a bag with it too.
If you found the at8/9 there is another 8
yeah, I have 2 8s and 1 9 left. are they regular words or will I need help?
Did you get two at8s?
no, will look there
That is what I was asking. =)
one of the 8s is not a common word, though it appears in babble, especially the stem
or you could be missing the two at8s :)
I have one at8. I thought bea was just saying there was another 8, not another at8.
there's two at 8s
omg, just noticed 29 g's
I've got bigger fish to fry now
3 more g's left for me...not that bad for the most part
this board is not too bad
I thought it was a nice board.
nice is a good descriptor
10 to go
59 left - working 4th row now
go mool go
7 now, mound a pair :)
mound=found
found the other at8 :D
yay!
insteger, a number that is immediately available when you need it?
I have two at8 and a me8 what am I missing?
well, 47 left after first pass. at least I got halfway on each tile. miles to go before I sleep.
te8
the odder one
I did want to make integer several times
is it a compound word?
insteed - a replacement horse
no
that horse looks tired, I'll take this one insteed
insteed you will
clue pls/
?
the stem is pretty common in babble, and is actually a palindrome when paired with another word in the grid
was talking to moo, not you
starts with the number after nine
Start with the te5 mlf.
bea, do you want to guess which n I'm missing from top?
hmm, I do not have a te5. looking now.
Probably an A. =)
hahahah I just typed it in and it worked!
ty'
i have te 8 and two at 8s. stats for the fourth, pls?
me8.50
me8
hi owl me8
me8
ok, found the te5
thank you
I have the at9 - any clues for the second 9 please
also known as me, me, me!
meaner
At least it is unanimous.
it seldom is :)
Second 9 is no9.72, Marian
got it
that must be my missing n
that is so not a word
missing one 9, but this grid doesn't look too bad
5 to go
Will look -thanks Bea
tx bzz
figured it was one of those types of words
i am sure it's a non word :D
literally and figuratively
and found it.
yes.
4 to go...and one of them is a 4
got it, thx. first word I thought of to add to it, didn't even count the letters and it worked
but i think de gr5/16 should be a word.
still haven't found the right combo of letters for the te8 though
the 5 can be spelled backwards and forwards and they are both legit words
it's one who or one that does
ones who te5, Carla.
yes. did not notice that.
and who doesn't want to te?
gracias. thought I'd tried that. and seriously, huh?
you know you've been doing this too long when you don't even need to look at the grid and can find words.
there are so many words that one who does should be a word but it isn't accepted
yep
does that ever happen to you when using lickety, especially?
me? I don't use lickety
you never refer to his list?
happens to me all the time with the list.
no
moo doesn't list, he just does as much as he can, which is usually an insane amount!!
Still looking for the no9 and not seeing it - any clues please
it's because I'm insane
i love the challenge of just going for it.
what you get if you don't complete college, Marian
marian, it's not getting something from a college
if you went to college then this word is probably inappropriate
Could someone say college again? : D
college
Thanks Hokie and Mool - did not know that as one word
college again
how about university like the english call it?
we called in university
college was usually a private high school
well, I figured you did
we certainly did not call it school...probably a branding thing :)
seems like NZ/Aus English is same as UK English
more similar than the US, but not entirely the same
especially australian
i wish the brits would speak english ;)
clue please for no9?
same, TO ;P
Hi. Can anyone help me with the lone O in the first column?
moo, are you going to throw some shrimp on the barbie? haha, I kill me.
ge 6/27, pls
Flask, in University you earn a de6 - the no is not that.
no need to criticise it if you don't favour it ;)
od4.4
The Brits have a language all their own. Prams, nappies, eggy bread.
player girl - like when a light bulb goes off over your head in a cartoon but change the first letter
ge6 - sex
something you might find on a government form bich
I always miss that babblet.
Flask, did you get the clues for the no9?
my ex brother-in-law went to australia and asked the waiter for a nappie
he meant a serviette of course ;)
Oh Moo, too funny!
Bob's your uncle, bollocks, bubble and squeak.
is a serviette a napkin? and a nappie is a diaper, correct?
thanks playergirl
I once told someone British that I wasn't going to wear pants somewhere and she thought I meant panties while I just planned on wearing a skirt.
serviette is a Germn word oo
My favorite from a Brit friend is billywhiz...
jumper = sweater, whereas US jumper is like an overalls dress
I can't figure out any other r from bottom row
There are a lot. Israel is a real melting pot and English speakers tend to group together so it can be funny.
time to move. nice day to walk, thinking i will take some water and just keep on walking.
correct hoke
US folks "go potty" whereas we just go to the toilet!!
CArla, there is an ra7.28.
sounds good, TO. enjoy
serviette is a french word
I believe, let me check
yes, french
well, if they're three year old.
thx bea. had tried that with one less t
I thought y'all went to the loo
no, that's more english
we just use the toilet
yeah, I don't really say go potty
or go to the bathroom
in appalachia we say commode instead of toilet
which might also be frensh
I have trouble with adults who say "go potty"
french
Aussies will sometimes say commode as a faux sophistication
h,,. must look up the etymology of commode
Good morning. Is it potty-talk day? :D
So do I Molly!
apparently it stems from a french word for convenience
My first MIL went "te te"
our parents were very insistent that we not use any "baby talk", so taught us to use grown up polite words.
well, if us appalachians are known for anything it's sophistication LOL
eerie
commodious
likewise aussies :)
hahahaha carla
Some South Africans had a huge laugh at my expense when, on a picnic in the woods, I referred to silverware. It was the cheap plastic kind which they'd call cutlery, for them silverware is silver - or at least decent stainless steel.
sounds latin
yeah, I try to call it plasticware instead because I think, wait, this isn't silver
inmead - what vikings did before going into battle. The viking crew inmead themselves over several hours prior to setting off for the village
Right, hokie
we call it cutlery...
not that that is any better
bea, guess my missing a from the bottom row :D
My parents used to say "Make a sissy" which was fine when we were really little but caused me to cringe when my father would still say it when we were grown.
Except you can't really "cutler" anything with a plastic knife
cutlery sounds just a little too fancy. and ironic that it sounds fancier to me than silverware.
my folks too pg
hard to cutler with a spoon :)
Carla, it has to be an AT
are you originally from NYC?
Me? I origninall am from Long Island but both my parents were from the city. Why is Sissy a city word?
that was my guess. I have 6, 8, 8, 9, 6
Sorry, CArla...It is an ar4. =)
oh duh, thank you!
In Israel they'll say PeePee even to adults.
going to go walk....4 left for me. The discussion this morning really makes me think of the Bill Bryson book At Home...talks about the origin of many of these terms
pg, I think it's a Long Island word [perhaps Jewish] My Mom even said sissy soo
I figured you had the easy one.
TY Hokie, that got me my last A from the `st column\
have a good walk, moo
sometimes can't see the forest for the trees, bea
i am going to walk off the cheesesteak i intend to order. tired of my own cooking.
LOL!
We may have had this conversation, PlayerGirl, but where on Long Island are you from?
Maybe Bich, but my husband's family used the Yiddish Pish, of course his parents were Holocaust survivors and they spoke Yiddish at home.
I need two more a words from the corner a
Mmm, cheesesteak
Just woke up (little nap!)and read down the chat.I always insisted on using proper words with my daughter until one day my mother in law said to her 'did you see the moat-moat - car- she called it that till she was about 24. Well not quite!!!
I lived in Levittown until I was 4 1/2 Matty. Don't remember much and I never went to school there. Where are you from?
Baldwin, originally!
Ah, and now where in England?
i like mine form the local Jersey Mike''s. i was surprised
I'm off for the day. I'm hoping it stays sunny. I want to take Mom out to the Memorial Garden.
What is a moat moat car?
my good friend is half filipino so she says all these tagalog words that have now caught on with me
at 6/18 clue pls/
bye bea, have a good day!
I love Jersey Mike's subs.
But I haven't been back there for AGES. I'm near Windsor (as in where the Queen lives...sometimes), about an hour's train journey from London

bzz aren't we supposed to stay inside/
like motor
oh that word ty
ant the deliver, though i will pick up since the car needs to move so as not to flat spot the tires.
Actually I am a Philly girl, Temple. Lived in Elkins Park from 1967 until 1982. Used to sneak Pat's when my parents still thought I was keeping Kosher. Back to Kosher now though
you can get out and get sunshine, mlfan, just stay away from people
MLF, there won't be anyone there. Or even near for that matter.

It does indeed. But it's beautiful
I had red boxes in my chat had to refresh
ty hokie
wondering whether to travel over near trenton to see the show.
I used to teach Sunday School right near there in the early 80s. My parents are both gone now and my siblings live elsewhere so no more reason to visit Philly. My parents are even buried in Queens.
just saw the aquarium fish! wonder if bea got it today.
Where do you live Temple?
Mum lived on a lake (well, adjacent to the lake, not literally on it)
My parents are interred (sort of - long story) in Newtown
Sort of? That sounds ee5
ah, pat's steaks. i have come to prefer geno's
i am near elkins park.
wish I could eat a good cheesesteak right now
Hah. Well, my dad's ashes were scattered in Toddville Maryland. My mum's ashes are in Newtown but the headstone claims they're both there
worked right next door in the northeast
I guess the story wasn't all that long.
newtown bucks county?
Yep
gr 7/40, pls
Not so long and not so ee5
beautiful buck county. o could conly dream of the BC lifestyle.
new hope, etc.

Tee hee. I could tell you the whole tale around my dad's ashes...but there isn't enough time nor chat space ;)
I love New Hope
I love New Hope. Been gone a long time but still my happy place and home of many many memories!!
gr 7/40 ... exploding thrown weapon

Thanks dose
I haven't been back to the US for a few years now - certainly not since 2015 and I can't remember if I went then (FB would be able to tell me though)
well, there must be some movement here. for some reason, i felt the need to wash and style hair AND put on eyeliner today. for what, i do not know. just staying in practice.
so i am behind on the morning.
haha, I did makeup on Fri for my zoom happy hour
happy babbling.
I'm procrastinating finishing a boring work task ;)
ty dose, carla
have a good day
my firend calls me every night so late that i am half asleep, with no makeup or smeary eyes. "why does your eye look black?"
thank you, bichon, didn't even know I needed that. still have 6 g's left
because it's midnight. :?
oh hell, i knew i should not turn on the news. yesterday tyson food's reporting that the supply chain is broken surely sparked a run on meat. today, the teaaser is that there is a baby chick shortage.
great
"Why people are flocking to buy them". duh
I see what they did there
Off for dinner...my boys just finished their workout (lot of grunting in the living room). BBL
perhaps to ensure a supply of eggs. we won't go any further.
here you can rent chickens. it's a thing, especially lately.
how is reaim not a word? if you miss your target, you reaim and try again.
totally agree, hokie
oh well, stuck with 15 left. guess I will take a break and try later.
why is strim not allowed? What do you call strimmers?
h'mm, don't know that word, Deeha
its a machine that cuts particularly the edges of a lawn
oh, like a trimmer..
we call those ed6
apparently strimmer is a brand name....
sometimes weedeaters are called string trimmers, maybe strimmers is a portmanteau
... checked Wikipedia ... the word is used in the UK but not in the US
ok I can see that but we do have a cross over in the dictionary - english and - er- english
... and it's not 1200 years old
you all also use a brand name, hoover, for vacuuming. interesting.
true its not archaic scots!!
and xerox....but not every brand name becomes a generic word....
true, I was just pointing out another UK only one
no strimmer isnt a brand name there are lots of makers
xerox, bandaid, kleenex all here
... it's a contraction of string trimmer
my rother in US always laughs about hoover
how interesting doseffing

S/he must have had some legal activities too and a penchant for using archaic language....
hey, I said it at 10:32!
a portmanteau
that is brilliant pen
agreed, good stuff
The no 9... really??
yes, it was right on....
what is it cad?
I know, right, cadfan?
it's a made up non word, hursh
as in a no 9 student?... ;o)
... I've done lots of courses for no credit just for the information and knowledge
we called that "auditing" a class
He who could eat no fat is in the grid and acceptable!
i have actually heard people described as no 9 students...
*puzzling*
think college or university
... that would imply that there are others taking it for d de6 ... what if none of the students are in a programme?
I believe that is (should be) hyphenated
ahhh thanks
my major was accounting but I took electives that were no9 related
maybe it's a fabulous monster, like the jabberwocky :D
the sp 5 is apparently a herring....or an "inconsequential person".....i will have to remember that.... ;o)
you're all just assuming that it is made from those constituent parts
well, we have to assume since there's no definition for it
ty pen
or we can make up our own
... you don't remember the nursery rhyme about Jack and his wife and their eating habits? ....
i think the no9 is a large purple deer-like creature that eats kudzu
we could only be so lucky to have a creature eat kudzu
I'll take some of whatever Hursh is smoking
it's called having an imagination lol
LOL hurshy
broke down and went to the list. of course the first 2 I'm missing are alt versions of scottish babblets
yes, his wife could eat no lean... ;o)....used to read that one to myself along with other rhymes on rainy days from a one-volume encyclopedia that we had....
Guess they ought to import some down to Georgia to ese their kudzu issues
going to get some lunch...bbl to finish....
finally found gr7 and it exploded into fw, lol
well done. can I have a clue for de6/30?
sanitize to de6 everything
ahh, thanks
yw.. have to scoot.. happy Babbling everyone!
have a good day!
I'm back. I called them and they said they were just talking about calling me. I think they were relieved to have me make the call. The wedding is cancelled. Maybe next year
Great. No hard feelings and nothing to feel bad about. I hope next year goes great.
Good news, gramma - it's lovely to see all parties behaving as sensible adults (I fear I read too many advice columnists. Of course, the people who write to advice columnists are usually either dealing with people who are not sensible adults or they are not sensible adults themselves)
1 left, not seeing it. re6/27, and I know the 3rd letter
nm!!
fireworks!
I work on this everyday on my lunch break, and can never seem to get it completed lol. On occasion, I can get to it a little more during my day, but mostly not. I do love learning the new words :)
But honestly, have only finished twice
Im up to 90 words right now, and down to my last half hour and running out of speed lol
do you use the list?
What list?
look below under Friends of Babble - Lickety's Babble Clues
that can help if you don't have all day :D
I have the list of squares and how many words come out of it, and then the list of how many words of each length. I try to use those, but its sometimes hard to figure out which letters go to the longer length words lol
yes, you'll find lickety's list helpful
I never paid attention to the links below before lol
personally, i favor the printable list
Due to working at home, my printer is now out of ink lol
but i believe i am in the minority on that
I favor the print list as well.
i don't actually PRINT it, just use it on my screen
gotcha! I just clicked it
a lot of people start with the list right from the get go.. i like to only use it if i'm stuck towards the end.. everyone plays this game differently and that's what makes it great for everyone
yeah i use it either at the end or not at all
if you have limited time it is the most helpful way to finish
unless you're a genius like dart or mool
gr7?
ha ha, i am a smart cookie, but no genius by far
gr 7- weapon used in war
Bruno Mars would take one for you
thanks, Lisa!
why would bruno mars do that? he's never even met me!
*Pats Hurshy's head and says "Yes dear"
good morning everyone :)
hello
Hi Lisa
gosh... I just love it when the chat is so pleasant...

apparently I have a sluggish mind as well as fat fingers this am
the first one was kind of a crappy clue.. sorry
it wasn't the clue - it was me not being able to think of the word at first -- kept trying to stick an extra letter in there
st 6/18, pls
on the st 6 where you live
ty nan
also latin ridges
Good morning from here at the exact center of the Universe, that is Western Washington state. I am fumbling along as usual. My goals vary from getting half of the words to getting at least one word for each starting letter. I often meet my second goal.

on my way -- back to my gardening -- just finished watching the very long Canadian update on the current status of our pandemic fight. Depressing.
Looks like I won't be seeing my kids or grandkids until later this summer at the earliest.
I have a new granddaughter - I'll be lucky to see her before her first birthday (she lives in Australia) :(
Me7/32 please?
Plural of the 6
people that did something on purpose?
Tx!!
bichon. I get e books from my library. I put Unorthodox on hold since it was not available at the moment.
I just watched unorthodox this week
I just started watching it yesterday Harry
it kind of sucks you in
Bichon and one my cousins recommended it
it does
help with te8 or no9 pls
I binge watched it about a month ago, and it still lingers in my mind. The acting is SUPERB.
no9 is compound - meaning you didn't get your bachelor's in this program
ty Harry
te8 builds off a te5/10 and te7/28
that moishe is one creepy dude
I do not have a te7/28 will look.
and now I have the te7 and te8 ty Harry
38. gotta list.
I loved Unorthodox!
Did you watch Shtisel?
did you read the book as well, Doren
I couldn't get into shtisel.
no I did not watch Shtisel. is it just as good?
I tried the first episode and gave up
there was a really good show called "srugim" though
I had given up on Shtisel last year but since the young woman who played Esti in Unorthodox was in it I tried it again recently and I am thoroughly addicted. Almost done with the second season
I'll try shtisel again.
I need to finish Unorthodox first
Hope it gets you as it did me
ooh tomi depaola's strega is in the grid.
so far I am liking it
RIP
Oh definitely peri. Hard not to watch it all the way through I actually did it all in one night. Stayed up late, but no problam
Yeah I had to force mys elf to go to sleep and not watch the 4th at 12:45 am
I watched 2 episodes yesterday.
I was in Israel two years ago, so it did make watching Shtisel a bit more interesting
I have spent alot of time there. and have much exposure to these communities
But it really is like a soap opera and once you know the characters you begin to care about them and want to check in and see what's going on. When I finish Shtisel, I'm going to Fauda Season 3. Heavy on the Israelis right now
I watched the first few episodes of fauda, and then gave up
too stressful
but I highly recommend srugim
I think Unorthodox was fascinating on many levels, whether or not you can identify with them (as a nonSecular Jew, I can't identify with Satmars at all) And yes, Fauda WAS stressful
I'll try it Harry, thanks
done! off to zoom mtng
hagd all
same here
Ooo I watched Unorthodox, I'm going to order the book.
WOW, I never post here, and I never finish the puzzle. Today is a day of so many firsts!!
Yay alembick!
Thank you!
yay alembick!
I loved Unorthodox too!!
I never heard of it.
Excellent film on Netflix.....based on book/true story
I watched Shtisel when it came out here (I understand Hebrew) it was the first TV show my husband had actually watched in over 40 years. He still giggles at "Rashaim Arurim" which means Cursed Bad Guys but Shtisel's brother used it all the time. I also watched Srugim and Unorthodox. I like the Unorthodox film much better than her original memoire. I felt it was more even handed.
What about Fauda?
I am waiting for Season 3 to hit Netflix. My Hebrew reading isn't fast enough to get the Arabic so for that I do need English subtitles. They haven't put Season 3 on Netflix here in Israel. Probably too current.
Player - Can you read Hebrew well enough to translate something that was written to my mother in a book she got in Israel recently?
Ha - Fireworks!
Congrats!
I don't often finish - working from home give me a little more leeway ;)
good evening!
hi all, diving asunder
me too, Qwen
opps mistyped Gwen
hiya phand!
how are you?
not bad -- staying indoors apart from the necessary runs to post office and grocery store -- how are you?
Fine. I am glad I don't have to stay at home all day every day. I have on of those essential jobs. Funny, though, sometimes I wish I wasn't essential! Can't win for losing I guess! I just really want to be able to go out and hear some live music at our local venues.
glad we are both doing good -- sorry about not being able to hear live music though
Yes, glad too! The music will happen again. So, there is that to look forward too
ooooh found a 9
Phan -there are so many musicians that aare putting up virtual concerts on Youtube. I know it is not the same thing, but it fills in the void.
some of the performances from home have seriously bad sound quality (!)
hi all, any clues for the de6,30?
I have listened to some "live" performances. It leaves me lacking...
forward, when you sanitize something, you de6 it

germ
oooh found the other 9
sorry
yes, that's it :)
ty, got the de6
:)
way to go, Gwen! I haven't found anything larger than a 7 and only 1 of them...
been playig boggle a long time, keep learning new words, make it go faster
first run through gave me 103 words. Oh! I got a 9!
anyone have a clue for the ae and ad words?
I have none of those words. SOrry
I got 111 on first run through :) no 9's yet... lol. but 4 7s and 1 8.
is your 8 and AT?
ad5/15, two syllable, builds on a de4/6 word
nope. my 8 is an me word
ae5/10, weird spelling, something weightless is "light and ae*** "
thanks for the ae! I am still trying to figure out the ad. I might not have the de 4 yet
ad5 is an archaic word. ad + a double vowel + a consonant
got it thanks!
woo hoo !!
greyed out my top a :)
all the 8s and 9s are in captivity
congrats!
may I have a clue for the last AT 6/18?

G's gobbled.
Me 6/7 pair?
me7, a stream that weaves back and forth
me6, superlative, not nice
thanks!
The me6 can be made plural, for some reason.
Yes, I thought that was odd too
NO 9?
no9, comound word. add a prefix to a de6 that refers to a college diploma
compound word, that is
I think that is a weird word...
weird words keeps us on our toesies
indeed!
is the first ne5,10 a common word? Can't get it!
It's archaic slang - plural only.
I think it is a babblet
well it's fairly common here....ends like a plural...
An older version of "nuts!"
name that nursery rhyme: Jack ____ could eat no fat...
rhymes with dirts
That's an actual word, phandmd.
Oh, I know. I wasn't trying to clue. I was just thinking that my timing was bad...
