sh7,9,8
i can just see all the second graders giggling
I'm stopping with 90 words and 883 points. Goodnight to all!
sooo many slang terms that don't count in this grid
de7
like if i BOOP rilla's nose, she wants to call the POPO
sigh... i miss when people used to really CHAT at the flip
Well, I was insulted cuz you called me a second grader cuz I was giggling! :-)
Hi Hurshy. I agree. The feeling at flip has changed a lot.
Hi all
Clues are up
Thanks, Lickety
too tired to chat -- I think that must have been 10 years ago
thanks, lickety
Not so long nan. I've only been playing since 2012.
lol sorry freep
Since 2006 here, LIz.
It's okay, Hurshy. I can take it :-)
I think it's been 12 years for me
i had to open up my profile to see when i started, lol
2008 here
I've taken long gaps. I'm always happy when I come back and still find a lot of familiar names
You don't think I remembered that date do you, Hurshy? Of course I looked it up too.
i hate it when i get one word away from finishing a big tile and i think oh good it's the past tense of the word that i just put in and then it isn't
BBL - have a good day everyone - or evening.
well idk, liz, for all i know it could be like marriage to some people, of course you know when you started it! lol
crashing - good night all
Night, nan
rilla really is just the nicest kitty cat
some cool sm words that i've only ever seen with an adjective ending in books n stuff
de7x2
question: if you're staying up way too late babbling, is it better to do it with a lamp on or not?
Depends if you're trying to hide, Hurshy
oh i'm not
just weighing eye health against sleep habits
A lamp with a blue filter?
well i don't HAS a lamp with a blue filter, although, if that makes it less blue, i can report that my lamp is a nice yellowish light
morning all - dont often see a full word all in a row on a grid
well, it's not de + sm5
dies
oops
hi ursh, yeah, pretty spiff
and don't say
you said it
and again :)
ha
jessmom help with the de7 from the bottom if you are still here?
Forcefully removed from a high position.
de7. de + consonant + right or left
no, that is the one from the top gillie
thanks granny!
Oh right, sorry - it works both ways.
mine isn't. mine is from the bottom d tile
yes, but when it works both ways, it always counts from the FIRST one that it COULD come from, going from left to right, top to bottom :D
that is one of the rules of babble that i deduced alllll those years ago as a young babbler
mh4
I did know that it only counted from one tile, but I forgotten that it could come from the upper one.
no problem, happens all the time :D
Has sh9 been called?
so de7 x 2 and sh, i forget, did anyone call the other 7 yet?
yup thanx anyway gillie
yes gillie, they're lovely aren't they?
Yes, Gillie. And Hurshy - it was called (an ho7)
thankee i shall look
ahhh the birdies!
well imma sleep now ttfn
G'night, Hurshy
sweet dreams hurshy
nice grid with enough toughies to keep it interesting.
Yeah. plus it had the freely given word to get me started
good evening
I finally saw id5 when I had just 7 words left so it was an apt description!
hello
gm, help with the last de7/40 plz?
To use grannyrose's clue from earlier, de + consonant + right or left
ty Gillie. just read her post. odd word. but then again, it is babble! :)
Yes, and Enable loves words with definitions like this: any of a group of esters formed from two or more phenol carboxylic acid molecules.
Well, I'm sure it's a very useful word for chemists.
Any fish in the grid today?
hi, bea - yes, at least one
How are you and your family, welki?
hanging in there, like everyone else, bea. we've pretty much cancelled plans for my daughter and her family to visit in july - i can't see things changing much in the next eight weeks and i don't want them exposing themselves in airports and on airplanes
how about you, bea - is your mother taking this all in stride?
We are all doing well. Getting a lot done. Mom is doing okay. She is currently trying to wean from prednisone that she has been taking for 20 years. She is feeling pretty rough.
And she wants a haircut! LOL!
can you give her a little trim?
She will not let me near her with scissors. =)
we gave each other haircuts - amazed at how great mine came out. my hair grows so fast and i typically wear it really short, so even if it went sideways, it'd only be for a little while
Our state is starting Phase one of reopening today. Salons and such are still a couple weeks out. She actually said a swear word when she heard that news. LOL!
poor gal - so much disruption for the old folks
Yes. But she is a trooper.
good morning all. found the 9 right away. guess lots of folks did
Bea, YOUR fish is not in the grid today. : D But hey, we have a word that is useful to chemists, so all is not lost.
our province is gearing up to open (gradually), too - i understand that things can't stay like this forever, but i already see people becoming complacent and reckless
Yes Peri. I found it not long after I did it.
Well, now I have to find it...
Aww! Got it, even though I don't do it...=)
I will do it later this am I am using a bar type rather than liquid and really liking it. conditioner also comes in a bar
I'm going to get some for my mom. I think she would like it.
I may also clean the living room but that is not a certainty
Our State is starting the reopening phase with beaches, camp grounds, boating, fishing, tennis, golf and some elective medical procedures. Staying distant is still recommended and gatherings of more than 10 are not allowed.
I'm going to have to go get my flowers and plants ready for this cold weather coming.
I have been walking more and further since I am not able to go to the g
It is insane Bea. They are talking about snow in Western Maryland. Snow...in freaking May.
Normally I would be impatient for the plants I ordered to arrive. Now I'm like "eh, I can wait".
same here Molly. I don't remember this kind of weather in April or May ever. The heat has been on!
Just reading from the weather channel...A cyclone bomb may be in the works.
"Mother's Day could be colder than Christmas"...WTF???
My son actually suggested that we have a fire this weekend.
howdy. just turned on the little heater at my feet.
4th word found - the 9 - bam!
then the 8
wow, 2 straight on words today
Good morning, Carla.
morning bea
I went to The Evil Blue Empire yesterday as I wanted to get some denim thread.
Not a bolt of cotton fabric or spool of thread in the store.
hmm, what is that, an actual store name? or is that walmart? I guess it's blue and yellow
Walmart
last time I looked at walmart the sewing section was bare as well. my LQS is opening back up today.
What type of thread do you piece with?
LQS has Mettler and Aurifil, so usually that,
don't think I've seen denim thread. what are you using that for?
I love mettler for my hand stitching binding.
Coats and Clark makes a heavy duty thread that is the same color as the stitching on jeans.
I want to use it for a denim slashing project and I want to use it on the denim and necktie purse I'm creating.
the LQS had the Aurifil guy from Italy and I went to his presentation. saw a video on how they make it, which I loved, and he gave everyone a sample pack of their different weights.
oh, I see what you mean now, the thread like on jeans (usually gold or yellow), I thought you were looking for actual denim thread.
We had that too! I loved it! I'm looking at switching threads.
Just don't get over to the shop at Bunn very often.
I use Maxi-Lock in serger and Gutermann in coverstitch. both those I buy from wawak.com
they usually have very fast shipping
they do have a jean thread section https://tinyurl.com/y9sruah7
I have 3 or 4 jeans patterns that I need to try. I don't know why it seems daunting.
Thanks for that! They have exactly what I want!
great!
I've got to get ready for a zoom meeting...Don't want to be sitting here in my jammies...
34 words left for later.
it's funny, the sticker in the maxi-lock spools says Mt. Holly, NC, which is like 20 min from me, yet I buy it from MI or wherever wawak is.
bye!! have a good meeting
Hey Mt Holly - Mooresville here!
hey! I'm actually closer to Concord. I do go to Mooresville occasionally for Costco and Joann.

they go together like rama lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
for those of us who are follicularly challenged, sh8 and 9 didn't pop up so easily. I didnt get them until you mentioned them
not sure why it popped out at me
as soon i asked about the 9 i figured out that they should go together lol
but it was like one of those 3D images
di 5 clue pls/
the 9 was the first word I saw when I opened the grid...first time for everything.
first pass done! 40 to go
it rarely happens in general i think?
MLF....belief in god....
first one I saw was the 2nd row, but then the other just popped out
hmm, that's de5, pen
oops...sorry....don't have my glasses.....i clued the de 5...
di5 - sounds like dreary, ends with myself and I

babblet

like "mir". The Russian word for peace
at a loss for words -- listing for the last 31
I love and hate this grid. Tooling along filling in words only struggling once and then BAM fireworks. It's over and I never saw it coming.

grats, gramma
See you all tomorrow. Have fun and stay safe.

sa

my problem is that i dont consider an ending to be a word and the is 4 is an ending so i never even remember that word.
yeah my husband said he isn't going out today either and I know I wouldnt
is today a bad day mlfan?
morning all! action shot of miss2bit's quarantine birthday https://tinyurl.com/ycn73dkz
de5 clue pls .not the one ending in m
mkg phase 1
what is phase one mlfan?
the virus mkg
do you mean your state is going out of quarantine?
or you have the virus?
our state
oh ok. i understand. i think if a person is younger than 40, and have no health issues, they will be ok but otherwise it is scarey.
they're reopening some things but I can't think of anything I need that wasn't already open to begin with, so I don't need to go out just to go out.
I am not going out
mayi have a clue for the de5 that doesn't end in m pls?
with my hubby having corona, i am home for the long term
Great picture 2Bit. I bet she loved the sign. Wow, that 10 years flew right by, didn't it?
that younger business is a myth -- everyone is vulnerable to catching it -- you are more likely to die of it if you are older and have underlying health issues
de + what models do.
mkg how long has he had it?
to get rid of a bad ruler or king, you can de**** him or her.
well, I think that's what she meant
a week plus a day.
or if you have underlying conditions at all
mkg, sorry to hear about your husband. Hope he recovers quickly
and covid-19 doesn't just kill people -- it also causes permanent damage to the lungs, liver, kidneys and heart
down to 9 now
I wasn't aware of that cyber
that's because your news channels don't give you all the facts
wow, well done, ru. still on 32 but I am making omelets right now and not really looking for words.
dethrone is not in the grid?
hokie what kind of omelets?
The best way to get the facts on Covid-19 is to check the CDC web site. Regular folks are not medical experts and can sometimes misrepresent the facts.
you can come back to yolk it up later then hokie
ham, cheese, & red pepper
Shell I comment? I shell not.
this is not what it's cracked up to be
Molly our BC health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, is on TV every day and she doesn't pull any punches. We are kept informed as to exactly what is happening and everything new that is being discovered about this virus.
ma 5.14, pls
take a photo hokie and put it in your family albumen
if the USA continues on it's current path, it will be years before our border is open again.
I hope so.
I'm sure she does Nan. Covid-19 CAN cause damage to the lungs, liver, kidneys and heart. It does not do that in every case. This is where the facts get a little muddy.
ma + garden tool
did pres. rump have a cunning plan? He wanted the borders closed!!
ty nan
I never said that it did, molly -- it doesn't kill in every case either
yeah, molly, exactly what I was going to say. it can kill and can cause damage but doesn't always. no one knows, but the fear mongering gets old and causes anxiety
I doubt it Deeha - we have a trade deficit with the USA
I wouldn't wish my worst enemies to be American right now. Stay safe.
I like it when my dollar goes 25% further in Canada
I don't think it is fear mongering, carla --- everyone should have a healthy repect for this disease - and it is terrifying right now because we don't seem to be able to stop it. The cavalier attitude of some people certainly isn't helping either.
i have been supporting the BC economy for several years now :D
In the beginning us oldies were blase. We said weve been through it all before-50000 dead in flu epidemic after Firth World War- whats the worst it can do? Now UK is up to 30000 dead were not being quite so smug
there is a lot of fear mongering. I agree it is horrible, brand new disease, very contagious, need to respect it, but still lots of fear mongering.
Guys, enough with the US bashing, okay. That gets old too.
let's bash Korea instead
yeah, it's not like the entire US is a shitshow
yeah.. just because we have an idiot for a president
I think our prov. government has done a great job in getting the info out there and in getting the support of the population when it comes to cooperation. So glad I live here. This week we will be allowed to assemble in groups of 6 or 7 outside of our household for the first time since the beginning of march ( properly distance of course)
how dare you use that word, ru? it's in the grid.
oopsie
didn't have it yet
maybe the id 5 genius has contracted it and will change his attitude
I get tired of this thing compared to war. Like bragging about other hard times is noble. The fact is, you don't catch "war" from someone coughing.
also, oopsie is in the grid
ty for the ma words
I would join u hokie but not a fan of red peppers
did I miss my clue?
I have not seen the covid virus compared to war. It has been compared to the Spanish Flu a lot. The point of comparing it to anything difficult is that people make it through difficult times.
on my way -- stay safe everyone
me either
trump compares it to war all the time. he's the worst
but cheese and ham my favorite!
hi trif!
what I don't get, nan, is less than a week ago you were shaming me for being by ourselves in our motorhome and now you're bragging about assembling in small groups
I have to say I did not see anyone comparing it to a war here but a flu epidemic after a war.
I've seen it a lot. A smug oldie comment daily that "they had it worse" just stop whining and watch your Netflix, young people. It's terribly arrogant and boasting about who has it worse.
cant belive in this day and age spam isnt in the dictionary
And I agree I too do not like seeing country bashing.
we still can't travel carla -- what I said is that we can now visit with people around us who are not occupants of our homes - preferrably outside and staying 6 ft. apart.
there's a book about the Dust Bowl in the US called The Worst Hard Time. I never could read it because my husband and dad said it was so depressing.
Unless I am bashing my own country. That I will do haha!
No one has had it worse. THis will end up being a combination of the" Spanish " Flu and the Great Depression by the time it's over.
we are definitely heading for a recession soon
we were all out clapping last night shouting to each other and we decided when it iis all over we are going to have a street party
I would dearly love to be able to meet my children and grandchildren in a park somewhere, even if we can't touch -- but that would mean a trip of 150 miles just to meet at the half way point -- not allowed.
my grandmother, who was born in 1910, always said they didn't notice the Great Depression because they were already so poor
I love my American friends, But this is not a very good time in history to be proud of America.
Spam is in the dictionary, Deeha just not in the old enable one we use for this game.
i'm proud to be an American, I am just not proud of our commander in chief and the repulican controlled Senate
no one's saying they're proud of it, it's just annoying the constant bashing
I am not proud of us right now. I have been deeply ashamed of America, a country I have loved my whole ife, since trump stole the presidency.
we ought to claim it is archaic scots then it would be put in!!
and yes, proud to be an American (thank you Lee Greenwood) is different than proud of America right now.
No it isn't. I'm ashamed of our government's response. This week there was a meeting of nations to work on vaccine and global response. America wasn't there. Not the way it used to be. Not the way it should be.
if spam were some obscure leg part of a madagascar bug it would be in enable
I will never be ashamed of my country. And I am proud of all the men and women who serve.
truth, ru
we're not terrible impressed with Boris and his cohorts right now!
dorens - don't worry about that -- we all know that the genius had a temper tantrum and pulled out of WHO -- we do not blame americans for his actions
trump will go down as the worst president in American history and that is saying a lot
the day after trump was elected, I felt as shocked/depressed as after 9/11, but I can't do anything about that. I didn't vote for him.
It is not American peopple you should not be proud of it is the people in charge you should not be proud of if that is how you feel. I personally like all people from all different countries. Labeling the badness of a president under the title of american people is not right.
I'm actually more upset right now with all the Republican enablers Trump is trump, but the sycophants who won't stand up to him enable him and make it so much worse.
yeah, have a backbone. you know he's a moron.
Now the DOJ has dropped charges against Flynn. Really?? I think Barr is one of the most dangerous men in our country actually.
that's very true doren.. I have contributed to a few campaigns to knock those suckers out
and why can neither party find someone under 75?
It is hard to believe Dorens -- makes me wonder if he is blackmailing them somehow
I am not proud of the americans not following rules, shooting black men for jogging, showing up in the michigan statehouse fully armed, denying facts, and whining because they can't get their nails done.
so true hokie.. you win comment of the day
Barr is a DISGRACE dorens. Flynn confessed!
Agreed, Triioso but it does not make every american bad people. There are of course some who do not care about others safty as long as they get what they want. But people should not lable everyone as bad.
not sure which one, ru, but thanks!
No thugs - but in America - felt angry at their entitled freedom enough to storm government with swastikas and nooses over a virus and health advice from experts. Yes, America is losing the thread and should be ashamed. I'm not bashing countries or good people, but USA is an embarrassment right now.
of course not, zooz. There are lots of lovely americans, but we dont' seem to be able to get any traction amidst the noise
the under 75 comment..
Ah. My husband keeps calling Biden "Weekend at Bernies" (hopefully you're familiar with the movie)
dorens, you are right - the Reps are now more afraid of trump than they are concerned with doing the right thing
sadly I don't think Biden has a chance to win.. unless some miracle happens
I know. they've had years to come up with someone to go against the asshat.
I wish bea were here to play guess my missing word
i agree.. had so much hope for a younger brighter candidate
i can play hokie
On a positive note may I say I love our babble community!
â¤â¤
ok, I'm missing a d from each one
we all like you a lot zooz
yeah, I guess you're okay, zooz ;-)
(there's always one)
been a while since we've had a full row make a word and a full column make a word in one grid
morning all
oh .. we've had several rows in the chat in the last couple of years :D
moo!
I know, dan, crazy
hey hoke
ru, I did think that's what he was referring to when I first started reading
but if you consider the source it's less meaningful
can I have a clue for the de7 that isn't got rid of the king?
one part of Johnny Dep
not the front or the back
thanks ruru! that's firewords
lol, was still working on my clue
well done
I know people want other parts of him though
gotta run and get ready for a zoom meeting.. have fun all
ok, how about my missing R?
darnit, alright, bye ruru
ra + to just get together with someone
ok, will work on that
got it, thx!
or Ra + where the big fashion gala is held in NYC
or RA + NY baseball player
exactly
now moo is running and hiding so he doesn't see clues ;)
found one of the missing d's!
found the other - of course it was a pl. I should have had
29 left, moo, you are probably already there.
61 left but I did clean the living room :)
nice
33 left, and I didn't clean the living room
I also did not clean the living room. I only made omelets and didn't even clean up that yet.
76 left, and not gonna clean anything today.
well I do not do it often
Oh and I took a shower and washed my hair
yes, I'm trying to avoide the clues, but also want to get updates on peri's ablutions
nice. going to work on my color some today.
haha
23 left
27 left and methodically trying to find new ones
it's because I don't know words like ablutions
well now you do :)
:D My youngest son would always say "I don't know what that means", and I'd tell him surely you can figure out by the context. But he couldn't really. This is why he did not do as well on the reading/english parts of the SAT/ACT.
too bad Judi is not here. she seemed very interested in my cleaning routine
Judi will be so sorry she missed a chapter in The Adventures of Peri's Housecleaning : D
Ablutions is a word for people who like to show off their large vocabulary.
LOL, I was going to say I'm sure Molly will be along to talk about it. She loves it too!
I was always told size doesn't matter
then why are you bragging about it ;-)
I'm trying to think of something witty to say
I am staying out of this conversation
maybe the appropriate term would be lexicographically endowed
haha
Lexicographically...I rest my case
not sure what that means mool
not sure why you can't make sp5 pt. I'm sure I say that all the time.
like a dictionary
ah
I am not going to clean today either
not a particularly useful word
i have de 5/14 ending i m i need a clue for the other one pls?
there isn't one
I have finished the D's
delightful
dang straight
I don't have the de5
I wonder if one could dang in a curve
straight up
i need a clue for the other de6
i have the one ending in po4
pl of the de5
seems easy, but that was actually my last D
oh geez ty
de 7/40, second one, pls
i wonder how many of us had the first word be id5/12?
bichon one is pt the other ends in si4
there have been a lot of clues for that bichon, so if you don't get it from this, read back. ends in not up or down
kinda like the heartburn med but starts with d and ends with a vowel
ty all
Back for my last 34...
bea!!
hey bzz
have made it to 19 left. going to try to get my last 4 4's before going to the list.
14 left here
you'll be glad to know I don't have any vowels left
oh, I don't either...didn't notice that until you mentioned it
vowels are the worst
those are usually my nemeses, but bea embraces them
someone has to
otherwise we'd get peppered by special interest organizations pleading the plight of the unloved vowels
SO6 clue pls?
I always do the vowels first. That is my strategy.
:D
it's a pt of a 3 letter
kind of like eating your vegetables first
so 6 is a term used by people to describe some one who has had too much to drink.
just found a 4 that I'm sure I already entered :(
soused?
smashed
sozzled
somewhat intoxicated
I believe snizzled was in a song
schnockered
Shit faced.
Or Schitt faced...
:D Have you been watching Schitt's Creek?
think its snizz or schniz from wicked?

Good afternoon, y'all.
Hey, ya, Judi1
foreign accts receivable, so all the foreign papers that had our comic strips
so nothing very exciting
I always imagine the atmosphere at a comic strip company as that image where Bart Simpson visits the offices of MAD
I did know a lot of exchange rates back then. oddly hasn't helped me know the foreign coins here.
and Alfred E Neumann pops his head out
PE6?
That is because most of the foreign coins in babble are ancient.
so you were one who overseas?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjlDDZ\nkGONs
clue for the pe6 pls?
well, going to take a break...still 11 to go
It was King Features, which is owned by Hearst. So technically I worked for Hearst. Our whole dept. was known as the UN because so many foreigners. Hearst Service Center moved from NYC to CLT in the early 90s, so a lot of the employees had moved from there. On the rare occasion I had to call someone I had someone there who spoke that language.
bye mool
bye moo
mlfan, I have a pe6 that is a pt of pe5
pe6 is the pt of the pe 5
15 to go. I'm going to the list.

when I was a teenager, I would laugh at my dad when he'd be telling something and say "that girl". I'd ask if she was like 40 or 50 and he'd say yes. Of course I always do that now
I also find things funny that a 7th grade boy would
here's a thing to tink about... walter just put bread in the oven... he bakes a loaf every other day now and it smells so wlnderful..... and it is snowing here in cleveland burbs up on the hill.
found the ma's, I just remembered them
snow? gasp!
yup... and i must tell you that the bread is mostly for the squirrels... he also get unsalted peanuts in 25 lb bags and roastes them .... our wildlife is well taken care olf here... the ferral cats, squirrels, chipmunks ets.
I wish I could send you our squirrels
SMom, my sister saw a white squirrel this morning. She was so jazzed.
well, just finished with the list. definitely a few on there I should have seen.
and the birds, groundhogs rabbits and racoons and a few other critters i can t even tjhink of right now
Molly, I think I remember reading about a white or gray squirrel pop. in your area, or maybe it was No.Va.
there's a mt. bike trail here that has white squirrels. have seen them several times but not in a few years. I didn't know if it was a bad omen or not. :D
neat , Molly i have never seen a white one, but i have seen black ones, they are all over in the cleveland metro parks
No, it is actually in North Carolina. Brevard. Which is about a half hour from my sister.
The white squirrel is considered a good omen. As are most, rare, things.
my husband's latest thing is he wants to move to Brevard. I told him I would do Asheville.
i heard there were white squirrels about a mile away. Then one spring there were baby white squirrels in my garden. A great treat but now they have gone. Dont know if they moved on or interbred!
we have peacocks in the town!! Dont know where they appeared from but they dont seem to want to go home
and I do recall the Brevard squirrels. we have camped there several times and I think I read it in something. but I'm pretty sure there's something in NOVA, I will google.
hmm, there is a WaPo article about a white one in Arlington, but paywall so I can't read.
ok, I think what I'm recalling is NOVA having black squirrels
down to 18 and seem to be stuck

hi ru
Hi welks
i gave up on daphne's coat. she's developed her spay coat, so not as straight and silky as it used to be - resorted to a pet trim. she's (i think) more comfortable - and it's easier for me
I think there are supple
Supplements that can help
turns out that the groomer i was bringing her to wasn't doing a very good job, and she had mats developing as her coat was growing in. i was so disappointed, as this gal competes in grooming competitions
That would piss me off
even with all the brushings she gets, the mats were forming. and i've read that supplements may change coat a little bit, but not too much - at this stage, it really doesn't matter. i really liked her show-cut, but i love the dog :)
Dylan gets his bath today i think. But it is too hot right now
oh it pissed me off big time - i can't even talk to her. they called and wanted to know why i've cancelled all future appointments
Do you have a matt breaker?
i have the andis
Look up miller forge matt breakers. The grey and white one they are the best
if i keep her trimmed, shouldn't be much of a problem going forward. and it takes a lot less time for her to dry after a bath, so i'm trying to convince myself to keep her cut short
True. But they aren’t as pretty 😃
She is a really nice looking dog. I’d show her off
the head of the miller forge breaker looks similar to the andis deshedder, very similar - and almost identical to their stripping blade
no, she definitely looked nicer in full coat. takes hours every week to maintain it, though
Yes. Dylan is a ton of work too
one of our neighbors has a couple of new pups, italian greyhound and the other a whippet - now that's what i should have considered. a short haired dog.
Greyhounds are nice. Whippets are strange dogs
they've had both breeds before - the whippet was a sweetheart
anyway, gotta get this show on the road - have a good night, ru
Nice to see you take care
won't accept spam? How strange. It's been around for a hundred years before it was on computers. Oh sorry, I forgot it's not archaic Scottish
boos
i tried spam too, i think they consider it a proper noun
help with ho7 please
i only have an sh7
What you wash your hair with
ok
I have sh7
I have sh7
the ho7 is a pl of an ho6, it's an 'Old World' bird
anyone have a clue for the po6/24
are you familiar with the tv show happy days?
it's like a character on there when he's a grandfather
or maybe something a toddler would call a flavored ice on a stick
ahah! thank ya very much
that may have been may last word. just got lucky.
because I doubt anyone has heard of that or knows it
maybe moolingwa can use it in a sentence
gotta love when even the dictionary can't come up with a definition
i have 34 left...
i'm down to 5 and my brain feels like mush
i've tried pepsi upwards of three times for sure now
on the plus side the s on the first column was really easy to get all of them today for me.
there were a lot but they just came quickly
I still have 2 7s to figure out
i keep putting in pepsi too lol
stuck with the D's, but i can clue you for the 7s if you want
actually I'm missing one 7
I have the ho and sh 7.
most likely the second de or the ho
I have 9 d's on hte bottom square and 3 on hte side one.
ah then lisa there are two de's for you

ok i need a clue for the de7
think pirates of the Caribbean actor plus si4/5
I assume you want the 2nd one since that's kinda the clue du jour. it's kinda hard - think heartburn med that starts with p, but change to d and then add a vowel
yep never would have gotten that

Hello Lizlin!How are you doing today? Welcome to puzzle
Not too bad Liz - drizzling rain but we have had a nice week
Hi Min - hope all's well with you.
Did I read that there has been whales around?
I haven't seen that but yes, I'd expect them to be beginning to swim past the coast here around now.
The season here usually begins in May - peaks in July / August and goes through until October.
Something to look forward too - we need it this year - though your restrictions have/are being lifted a little?
The restrictions here are easing a lot. Best for us is being able to walk on the beach again.
and done!
Congrats, Phan.
Lets hope for us all the lifting of restrictions work
Congratulations phandmd on your fireworks!Hooray for U
congrats Phan
Yes - there's still a lot of talk about a 2nd wave.
thanks. We are all hoping for the best. All around the world...
R people following social distancing rules on beaches Liz?
They are now, Min. Very heavy fines were imposed and that changed the behaviour of a lot of people. But we're going into winter now, so not so many people are using the beaches.
NY going into winter now in May with the arrival of snow.
Wow! That's unpleasant for May.
But hopefully it won't last too long at this time of year.
Fireworks
Congratulations Lizlin on your fireworks! Hooray for you!
Thanks. Have a good day / evening everyone and stay safe.
Hope the weather warms up soon Min.
Question: Do you say anything other than "stay safe"? Like "be healthy"? I'm just curious.
This is my line when I am writing e-mails to people: Hope you continue to remain healthy and safe".Also tell people the same thing if I am talking to them. Why do you ask?
That is nice Min. It just seems like this is not a situation where people need to "stay safe" as much as you hope they "stay healthy". It's a word thing.
Trendy phrases like "reach out" and "stay safe" erupt in social media. And then people start using them all the time. It conveys a good thought, so no worries.
I think staying healthy and staying safe kind of goes hand in hand. If you take safety measures like practicing social distance, then that will also keep you healthier MollyL.
Like I said, it's a word thing.Positive wishes, however they are sent, are goo.
*Good
I actually think of safety as a different idea than health. There are ways in which you could equate them, but when I say "healthy and safe" I mean different things. But I was using that phrase before 2020, so that may just be my own language thing.
Hello nrkii. That's the thing about language. There are so many different ways it can be interpreted. I guess it also depends on what context you are using certain words in,
For example,it isn't safe for you to touch a hot stove, but if U do it does not really effect your overall health,right?
I also tend to think of safety as "safe from harm from other people or things" more than safe from disease.
Anyway, we're all weird wordies, so as Molly said, any positive wishes are good. :)
On the flip si4/5 to my last post,it is dangerous to smoke cigarettes because if U do,it can compromise your health
hello
stats for the lone S please?
Hello harpjane!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid
I'm good minver. We had a beautiful day while you guys froze.
I've been making calls for the Census Bureau from home since I can't go to homes right now.
Do you work for the Census Bureau harpjane?I have to do my Census report. I think with everything that is going on alot of people won't do it and numbers will be inaccurate
Yes, I don't work on the Decennial Census (that's the one that does the 'head count') but there are lots of other ongoing studies that occur on a year-round basis.
I'm not too worried about the accuracy of the Census2020 as long as we're able to get out and follow up on the ones that haven't done it yet.
They are going to let Field Reps drop off surveys in some rural areas soon.
what are ths stats for the lone S?
I think it is SA 4/5
I think the lone S word U asked about is se 4/4 harpjane.
I can't be SE
*It...
sa 4/5, yes
got it, sa4/5
thanks
Sorry,my mistake.Not sure what you meant by the lone S
it's ok, i meant the bottom row S, the one with only one word.
Probably too late, but I believe Harp is looking for a guitarist...played with G&R
(without the L, of course)
Hello danf63!How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.
Hi Min...Doing well considering all that is going on
How have you been?
I am doing well. too. I see U are from California. How do you like your governor?Just recently found out about him
He's OK...I knew about him when he was mayor of San Francisco. I think he tries to do the right thing, but gets poor advise at times
Yeah, I'm not sure if having over seventy lawsuits against the Don is smart. I'm sure they are all valid, but even so.
That started because Don said something about how CA was handling immigration, and Gavin got offended. Since then it went back and forth between CA and Feds. No one will win in the end, but they know how they feel about each other
Did U know Gavin has dyslexia?He is a very good speaker.
I' m from/in San Diego, and the best part is that we've had a wall for at least 30 years, and that seems to have started the entire thing...
Wow! I just spent the last ten minutes trying to figure out id5/12...seems justified
Gavin is not the only person to get offended if somebody says something they do not like, just saying.Think people who are in politics have to not take things so personally.
I am not a politician so that is easy for me to say. I might feel differently,if I was in politics.Thank goodness I'm not
I agree...but Gavin has a history of being offended. Happened in SF too. I'm pretty sure Don has a similar history, so that was a problem waiting to happen
HI kids. I have really come to appreciate Gavin. I wasn't his biggest suporter. But I am damn glad he is my governor now.
I'm with Origami...I didn't like him as mayor (based on what my son was telling me he was doing), but as Gov he is doing a decent job. I would have made a couple of slightly different choices, but in all I can't really fault him for trying
Aside from things he says when Don trash talks him, of course. Having a quick tongue and slow brain, I would most likely fire right back worse that Gavin has.
Hello origami! How are you doing today?Welcome to grid.
Although he and Cuomo are both Dems,the are different.
I think he is really striving to be apolitical about this crisis and is doing what he can to position California for what may come next - i.e., not pissing off Don too much.
Heya Min! I'm hanging in there. How about you?
I agree. I think he is reopening the state earlier than he wants to, but doing it slowly and carefully so he hits the middle ground between Trump/Business and those of us who are really worried about moving to quickly. I'm actually comfortable with what he is doing, even though I would have waited longer
At the end of the day if the governor needs something he has to ask The Orange One so he kind of has to play nice.
When I first saw that he was a businessman,I was worried but then I did further research on him.He's not a bad guy
I agree, Dan. He is compromising. I sense his reluctance to move forward. But he does have a lot of people out of work in this state and I really think his heart is in the right place. He is, at least, fact-based and not relying on rhetoric and passion to make his decisions.
Yes, Min. The Orange One hates us here, because of our sanctuary issues and generally liberal politics. I think he is trying to reasonably counter that.
By he, I mean Gavin.
And my last driver has shown up, so I will now clock out and go home. Hoping all a good night, and happy Babbling.
Goodbye danf63! Nice to see U. Hope to see U again soon
See ya' dan
I better get crackin if I want to get my last 5 before flip.
