hello everyone :)
found some bovine
et9
not sure I"m playing the same grid as the rest of you -- not seeing most of the 7's, no 8's no 9's
good morning babblers
niffle should be a valid word. Sounds like one.
totally agree, sprite
hi freep :)
Hi! How are you tonight?
not too bad! How about you?
All things considered... good
I took a grid break and have returned to find that niffle is better than most of my other guesses!
lol :D
I am trying to make sch--- work. No luck so far.
I gave up on it.
good call. Don't think there are possibilities there.
schiffle :-)
ohhhh I want schiffle too!
it's a far prettier (non)word than some of the actual words. And I think that counts for something.
true. Sounds like a doozy of a babble grid.
it's pretty niffly, but we've had worse
I am a bit out of practice, it is taking me longer. But fun to get back into it.
I took a few years off and it took me quite awhile to get back into the groove. Many forgotten babblets (or the idea to look for them)
I looked up my own list of them in my profile, lol. Just to refresh the memory.
Clever. I didn't do that. "I'll never forget the variations on etui," I thought. Wrong.
hahahaha
fireflies. Fun grid. Quit a few babblets indeed. Bye freep, nice seeing you!
Nice seeing you, too, Sprite!
I keep trying German words. Many don't work.
Hi Sprite, if you're still here! {{hugs}} How are you?
oops, just saw her fireflies...the time differences throw me off sometimes.

icky grid the I is my least fav letter
Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would call this one "fun".
Hi everyone....what a horrible grid!
Hi all. What this grid needs is an a.
103 left to find. Back latr.
Well, at least there is vodka in the grid.
Stolie?
in 7/44, pls
to cause, as in harm
ty dan
Part of the level of difficulty with this grid is the way the words are laid out. That in7 is a perfect example.
The are backwards and loopy.
And yes Bea, Stoli
I guess if your eyes naturally go round and round in circles, they are easy to see. : D
Tx for in7
Lots of biology and chemistry words today as well as a lot of words Babble players should have in their ei7.36 memory.
My goodness, wish I'd never started this one today....
Ooo, Bea is taking a page out of Aloy's book and dropping grid words into her chat.
=) Sneaky, eh?
and I'm grateful for it - didn't have that ei
Can I have a clue for ei7 please?
similar to photographic memory, flask

this one is really difficult for me today. not getting anywhere near halfway on each tile.
tite
oops
see already making words up
It is a difficult one for everyone, Carla.
i don't want to jinx anything so no comment here
Go backwards a lot
good to know. 182 is big, usually easier. must be a lot of really weird ones.
backwards?
ah, the going backwards always trips me up, so I will start looking that way, thx
right to left, mlfan
if you mean bottom right corner stating point that's what i do
in english we read left to right, so backwards would be right to left
but i go up and not left
hogwarts custodian in the grid, but a real word
no idea
made it halfway
I feel like I've been punked by this grid. Found all the 8's and 9's with Lickety's help. Gonna pack it in with 66 left in the bucket. See y'al tomorrow.

I thought it was an old gas station
so did i lol
i think it is... i gtg
Back from unloading a bunch of old porch furniture. Gave it to a young family.
nice
You have never heard a radio person saying Roger Wi5? It means will comply.
it's a weird grid when I can find more C's than other words
That's what I think when I see that word, Molly.
I don't think so Molly, if I did I didn't notice. and that's what the def. says if you click on it, which it what I was saying was interesting.
Too young I guess. And I know a lot about music, but don't follow alt bands so I had never heard of them.
Carla, you might be too young to remember the old lawn chairs that were wood and had a canvas sling to sit in.
I think of those as beach chairs Bea
I think I know the ones, bea
I recall alot of mold on those chairs
I had three of those frames for the chairs. One had been refinished and my youngest daughter used it in her teen bedroom.
my parents never had any though, but I can picture them in my mind
Yes, Molly...Beach chairs, but I was landlocked as a kid. We used them at the local lake.
Any way, they are gone now!
I am ancient and can remember the steel frame, woven mesh folding lawn chairs
we always had the ones with the strap webbing
cheetos!
Yes, those came next after the wooden chairs.
I think they call them web strap
I remember those carla - with the sprocket adjustable backs and feet
you can buy those now at Target.
oh, those are the lounges, HH. my brother broke his tailbone in one of those when the legs collapsed
Everything old is new again except us...
ouch!
Wooden? Adirondack chairs?
so deep, bea
No, they weren't adirondack. These were foldable and almost like a puzzle to get the together.
dehicle - dolly's car
What about the all metal bouncy chairs? Those are really old.
ec8?
And those cast iron bistro tables and chairs. So uncomfortable.
ec8 is a sea urchin
We have some old metal chairs. Love them!
ninjoe - when the democratic candidate starts breaking out the martial arts moves in the debates
https://tinyurl.com/y74ddsp6 These are the type of chairs we gave away. Holy crap! Should have sold them!
yeah, that's mostly what I was picturing. I wasn't thinking adjustable like that though
Good old Joe...Bless his heart.
why anybody would want to be president - beats me.
you either really think you can make a difference, or you've got a big old ego.
but they're all gluttons for punishment.
can we find a president under 70? is that asking too much
I guess if you are into politics, that's what you want to do...
apparently
thats a great pic ru.
thanks.. makes me laugh
help with the lone J or O please?
Perfect example of backwards words are in the cl's...
oh 4/6

je 4/9
je4.9
ty for the O
bzz can you expand on that se urchin clue I found two words using google but neither in the grid only part of the word
?
and the J
Is it the quilt, Carla?
nbt :) and 67 to go
it is a very small quilt
yes, but I'm still seeing the owl. refreshing, restarting the browser does nothing. It's different for macs and I forgot what I had to do last time.
uses robot ending, mlf.
it takes a few days, also on my laptop and desktop
clean out your cache
are you talking about the pic or the actual quilt, HH? at first it was ginormous so then I saved it at small
the pic is tiny
it's a sea urchin with a paranoia condition
guess I should do medium next time
I kept thinking that word was shorter and ended with lid. is there a sea urchin like that? got it now, thx
I completed my fabric slashing pillow yesterday. It looks awesome! Am hoping to get pics today.
I have the right word I thought and it is in the grid but wont take it/
Good one, ru :-)
can't wait to see!
Then you aren't spelling it correctly, mlf.
2/3 done. bbl!
I always find it amusing that te6 is a word but not te4
Yes, me too.
my phantom is elicit
You have to do a hard refresh, CNTL + F5 for Windows, who knows what for Macintosh, to see an icon change.
same
Mine too, ru.
same was to ru
Icon pictures should be 350 x 350 pixels
Yikes! Just discovered I have one vowel word left...
googling tells me safari hard reset is cmd + opt + E, but that does nothing when I do it, it doesn't even reload
maybe cmd + opt + esc?
One of the reasons I don't care for Macintosh products
I did clear history on the drop down menu and it worked, but now I'll prob have to fill in everything everywhere else
I have been Mac since 2012 and don't like Windows at all anymore.once you go mac you never go back.
I have used Macintosh and hated every second of it
i know i hate windows ten.. that's for sure
I had 2 windows laptops before this MacBook and each of them lasted a year or less. this one is 8 years old.
Can I just say, what a difference it makes going backwards to find a lot of the words...thanks for the hint!!
very true, flask
:)
ah, russian olympic city in the grid
Makes a world of difference, flask.
going backwards?
Reading right to left, ru.
it sure does!!
bea pointed out a lot of the words run backwards
ha! found the double vowel t word that usually throws me.
Ru there are a lot of words run backwards!
And I just found the things in your mouth that I always miss...<rolls eyes>
68 left still, but must take a laundry break
bea, I usually miss that but had found them today. mr. bf just got back from the dentist so maybe that's why.
I missed it too...thanks Bzzn...
that must be an experience going to a dentist right now
yeah, they sent an email the other day outlining all the changes being made.
he said the hygienist said it was way scarier during AIDS before they knew what was going on
I read an interesting article yesterday about COVID and the reopening.
Basically, what it said is to consider airflow and length of time you are near others.
that's hard to do here in Napa we have a bunch of gas bag winery owners out here :D
There are things that people are not going to be comfortable with. Sharing close quarters, like elevator space, for example.
so standing in queues behind lots of people is a bad idea!
The reason so many people in meat packing plants have contracted it is because the environment is refrigerator cold and the workers have to yell at each other to be heard.
I wouldn't do it, m3.
stats on the J anyone?
Your chances of getting it by passing some on in the store is very slim. But standing in line...The author used an equation about distance and time.
je4.9

That's it! Thanks!
Everyone should be careful, no question. But the fact of the matter is that unless you have been locked in your house with no outside contact at all (no deliveries, no grocery store trips) you have chances of being infected. Just do what you can to keep your chances low.
pople over hear are infecting other who they live with, familes are now getting sick together!! aparently, but you can trust the news anymore
Carla, you still out there?
left col grey!
no kidding about the backwards words
Greying things out really seems to get Hurshy's juices flowing!!!!!!

Yes Bzzn...there arelots here!
Really, it's going to be a stampede when the salons open

I'm with Ru, I don't clue four letter words. If someone can't be bothered to look for words that small, perhaps a different game would be better. Something simpler.
i object to use of that j word. it is korean word.
I'm with you, Molly. I also hate to clue 5's
This virus crap is really starting to wear on me. First my Mother's Day cake order was canceled, now the plants that I ordered are canceled as well. Damn.
Is there a farm stand or small nursery near by, Molly?
Yep, but everything they have available for curb side pick up is sold out. I guess it wasn't meant to be this year.
I can try Lowe's I guess. They usually have crappy plants though.
Some thing will come about.
I usually buy from Lowe's. Not this year. Won't go out there to be around all the people.
I need to get a bit more productive. Still in my jammies...
See you tomorrow.
Apparently the plant place I ordered from had to shut down because they are shipping plants and the plants are winding up stuck in USPS warehouses for weeks and dying.
Ah, still in pajamas at noon. That is living the good life. Have a nice day Bea.
mr. homie just asked me if I was going to wear my pjs all day.
good morning all -- hope everyone is well
just came by to ask bea about my tomato plant with yellow leaves at the bottom.
and she is leaving
or gone
your tomato plant could've gotten nipped by frost or too much water, just nip the yellow leaves off and the plant will be fine
ok, thanks. that was our plan, just take them off and see what happens
they'll be find hokie
this is the earliest that we've planted our garden, and it looks really good! had to cover a couple of nights
onen
Carla, are you and your husband retired?
what difference does it make if we dress or are in pjs all day? weird times. very weird.
what difference does it make if we dress or are in pjs all day? weird times. very weird.

clue please for li6/24 ?
saw on the news today that the USA is likely to experience 70% infection of the population if more isn't done to slow it down.
Flask, think another word for moss
i wish they could test if we have already got the antibodies. my hubby has it and i tested negative. what does this mean?
morning all, better board today I see
Hey Mark, its the one after the floor covering, sorry!
good morn Mool!
I think it means you don't have the virus.
hey doll, happy Tuesday
:) thank you! and you too!
tx :)
I don't have that one yet Flask
ok Mark...Molly was that clue for me?
molly, I just haven't gone back to work after staying home with kids. my husband retired from the bank 5 years ago. now we have rental houses.
li 6: blackish green fungus that grows on rocks and trees in northern climates -- looks like moss
darn, I have that one
it's the chinese tree flask, sometimes written with double e
not finding any j words
short one nan
ty for those 2 words mont
JE4/9 nan
np harry ☺
... je4/9 ... rhymes with colourful gas or ex Leaf centre #14
jendin...hmm
ty - forgot that one
... older ex-Leaf centre #14 ... and Matts was #13 wasn't he
yeah, he was 13 I believe
I know of the guy you mention, but he predates my interest in hockey
not that much of a hockey fan any more dos -- used to go to the games at the forum but that was a loooong time ago :)
... being able to spell his name from cards found in chocolate bars got me a free chocolate bar in 1962
woot
Flask, have you found that LI6 yet?
... still impressive ... I only got in The FOrum once ... when my dad took me to his office and we took a shortcut through the building to get to lunch ... got to shake hand with Henri Richard ... a not to be forgotten moment
43 left, and I just got my first 8 :)
Montreal....am not getting it...sory!
you're doing great mool!
tx dolly...tougher board, which is good
:)
ah, there's another 8!
.... we just moved on from the ex-Toronto hockey player (chosen as one of the top 100 in the first hundred years of the league) and moved on to my team, The Habs (or more properly Le Cllub d'Hockey Canadien de Montréal) which I gather was known to cybernan at one time
Les Habitants
... that's them
dos - only went because hubby was a coporate client of brokers who liked to butter him up with tickets.
The only original NHL team that still has the same name
hey doseffing......just read your blurb and a suggestion: live as carb free as possible. eat veggies and proteins.
... he could have given them to me ... I'd have opened an account (with my 25cents per week allowance)
we were there in the days of Henri Richard, Belliveau, Dryden...
carbs are what puts on the weight. i eat oils and butter but no carbs and stay slim. it is carbs that are the bad guys. man originally lived on veggies and proteins and fruits. i cut the fruits too but carbs are a no no.
with respect, carbs put on no more weight than any other type of nutrient. gaining weight is from eating in a caloric surplus and losing weight comes from eating in a deficit. simple math
... all sound advice ... but I've found that simply cutting out beer lost me 20 pounds in two months ... I'll have to try that one again sometime
no beer, no carbs? what's next - no coffee?
if it helps to reduce your calories by cutting out major food groups then go for it but you could achieve the same results by simply eating less of everything
what it comes down to in my book is one thing.... do you want to be fat and happy or skinny and miserable?
or just take away air
true, jshap. I have lost more weight by tracking calories than anything.
... I want my knees to stop hurting ... and loosing some weight would help with that a lot ... ... but I unfortunately am to prone to do what I enjoy and not what's good for me
did y'all see the pic of Adele?
ya hokie when you get honest about what you eat everyday and religiously keep track it becomes clear what needs to be cut out/limited
I am not miserable due to being skinny.
I figure I've only got a few years left so I might as well eat what I like.
adele looks like a new person I couldn't believe it
I lost a bunch last summer hoping it would help my knee but it didn't really.
yeah, I could barely recognize her
The reason people lose weight when they give up carbs is because all the good food is carbs. So you eat less because a person can only eat so much lean meat, eggs and vegetables.
have you had your knee x-rayed carla? Maybe you need a replacement.
whoever designed the human knee truly wanted humans to suffer
I had an MRI. I had synovitis then. now it hurts in a different spot and my PT friend said it's kinda weird. I think my quad deteriorated when I was trying to get over the synovitis and that is causing pain now. I did PT for a while and got an injection but still hurts sometimes.
I am sure I need a hip replacement, but they will have to drag me kicking and screaming.
I saw this synovial placa syndrome or something that I think I have all the symptoms of but haven't been back to ortho to ask.
yay, another 8
mr. homie keeps saying I should just get a knee replacement, but they don't just replace them for fun. that's usually if it's down to bone on bone.
why molly? -- you would feel so much better when you can walk pain free
I just have 3 8's oo
molly, supposedly new hips are the easiest recovery
me too - 3 8s
I only have 2 of the 8's
I have 3 8s too
I've had both of my knees done -- not as perfect as the real joint, so much better than when I was hobbling around -- can walk for an hour without stopping, no limp, no pain
harry... are you related to the hoods from portland >
four 8s!
that was the dumbest of the four so far though
yes - hoodsies :) that's the reference
Mark no I haven't found the li6 yet
our PT friend got a new knee a couple of years ago and he was around 53. he is so much better now. he rides bikes with mr. homie and we always joke he is the bionic man now.
i lived across the field from hood dairy .. lioved their kce cream
so naturally that is why mr. homie thinks I should just get one
woo!

I knew one spelling of that but not the weirdo one
we have an ice cream truck driving around
I have even tried googling it too!! Nothing!
hope the driver is wearing a mask and gloves and physical distancing
I clicked the def. of the one I had and it brought up the weird spelling
agreed, nana
nan
It's a mystery!
isn't a wiffle a skinny waffle?
the spelling I'm used to is not here, it's ly
not here. here wiffle is a brand of plastic baseball & bat.
whiffle
li6...I ____ the fire + first three of pretty dishware you use on special occasions that comes from the orient
and a wifle is elmer fudd's gun
or just click the def. of the one you do have ;)
I hope the kids in the neighborhood get extra ice cream for being cooped up so long
lol love it Nan!
Thankyou Molly!!..:)
so annoyed, tried canceling my gym membership since their online workouts made my knee worse, and they are trying to make me pay 50% of remaining 10 mos. on my contract or get a doctor's note to pause it.
they said they are opening back 5/26 with modified schedule, well, I won't be there for quite a while. so I already paid for all of april and may with nothing in return.
I have never seen the nut spelled that way. But hey, that is Enable for you.
but still not finding the wi 5/20
I just learned today, nan, means will comply in radio lingo
oh -- goes with roger -- is that really a word?
... wilco
roger, roger. didn't we just have roger yesterday?
yes, that's it, dos
No, but neither is AWOL and Enable takes it. Dose you can go get yourself a drink in the PB
... apologies ...
or it's an american alt rock band
te 7 please?
don't have
scow
Sounds like the past tench of one of your senses, not sight, smell, hearing, taste...in southern drawl
*Past tense
well, I tried that as a 5 and do every time but it's not allowed
yeah, if someone is te7, they ain't right in the head
ty molly
*!*~*!* thanks for the help everyone -- time for elevensies -- made some ginger cookies yesterday
Yeah, but by all rights, don't te5 the stove you will burn up your hand, should work too
exactly!
hagd everyone -- stay safe and watch out for that icecream man :)
well, I have made (very little) progress. still 54 remaining. guess I will go walk the dog.
I really hope Nan was kidding about the ice cream man. There is such a thing as being too vigilant.
I think it was the social distancing thing. I heard on in my neighborhood this weekend too. I was glad I didn't have to decide whether to let my kids have ice cream.
And, it is kinda cold here anyway
fireworks!!
whoo hoo marks!
ty:)
any clues needed?
I am content to stumble along for a while
:)
help with fl8 pls
it's a dumb word that doesn't look real
Perhaps a combination of irritated skin with a quick pull away as a result of something surprising
great clue ty Mool
yw
still missing 5 of the 8's
67 words left
was a pure guess I my part when I was prospecting for 8lw
27 left here
I am binge watching House on TV
I'm about to get on a call with a customer :)

I saw a clue for the st8 but still do not see the word
clue for t37/40 please
te7/40
"touched, slightly crazy"
help with st8 pls
is that for me Gillie?
Yes Flask
peri, I haven't got it, but I'll look
peri is it your birthday today?
no my birthday is In February
why do you ask, Flask?
stithied....
*puts the candles back in the drawer*
I guess she wanted to give you a birthday gift.
I was ready for cake
wel it is my unbirthday :-)
I found it from the earlier clue, was just trying to figure out a better clue.
I tried for hours to get that word!!
Gillie can you give me another clue please?
Flask, the te7 rhymes with a word that could also mean "engraved".
Unbirthday Party in the PB for Peri. Lots of ice cold gin and tonics available for party girls and boys.
Oh an icecold gin would be fab right now...
If you like it ice cold you should keep it in the freezer
Gillie is that not only 6 letters?
I would love a cold G&T right now
Gin makes me gag, so I will stick to whiskey
I still need help with st8 pls
stuck with 64 left
OMG...I wrote it out for you!!
s + ten percent charity word but change the last vowel + past tense ending
at 2.14
you sure did Flask and I did not see it. thank you
ty Molly
lmao
yvw
And yeah, it was put in the grid
Wow, and you people haven't even started shooting gin yet. Whee!
You're right Molly...lol
hey I am multitasking here. watching House on TV and playing babble. I also organized two drawers In my bureau earlier today
ni5?
techied
Judi will be sorry she missed your organization update. I will let her know. : D
haha Molly
ni + what Jack and his girlfriend went up, minus the last letter
Te7 please?

Hercule Poirot does this.
Or a geiger counter does it for radiation.
thanks Gillie!
Detect
thanks Nache
This is a nasty grid
Gillie do you have the de5 just before de6/7 combo, please?
Flash - deepness
Thanks origami!
Wow! Fireworks at last!!
You're welcome
Any clues needed before I go?
OK...goodnight to one and all...
This is a nasty grid. Someone said it was fun this morning. I don't get that at all.
who on earth?
Nasty grids don
Nasty grids don't bother me much. I just don't finish them... (sorry our modem blinked off briefly with the power)
LOL, I was like, who's don?
We've been having intermittent power issues all afternoon. Very breezy, even windy here.
today is the first not super windy day here in like 4 days
hello, may I have stats for the P, and the lone N please?
p/5/12 and p/6/21. Don't have the lone n.
ne 4/4
the left p? I believe the n is ne4
ne4
back for my final 26
I went to the list at like 50 left!
still listless and clueless....to date anyway
I don't list till I'm down to 20 percent. Haha, why do I make silly rules like that for myself??
still clueless here too but I think you mean something else
that means I'm sillier then ;)
I try to get 80% done without looking at the tile stats...then I try going through each letter, then I try to focus on the ones I have most remaining on...and then I don't list
the cool thing is that you can make your own rules within the rules
Speaking of silly rules, I have never understood NBT and NBS. Like what does that mean? If you got points for it or something, I would understand.
Just a way of marking some form of progress...lots of different ways that players do that. I don't focus on the NBT/NBS, but if that's what someone wants to do, then it's like a game inside a game
lol, I don't fret about that. maybe there is a cookie waiting in the PB?
I think it is just age old lingo here, like the monkey thing. And people who still say nifty.
people still say nifty??
agree, however people like to play it, but like finding 1 word on a tile with 38 doesn't mean anything to me. if I can get halfway on each tile I feel like I've done something.
I've heard fifty is nifty
Only groovy people, mool
that's gnarly
Yep, and sixty is swell. Seventy is lousy though.
for forty it's just "oh lordy"
Nifty was my Dad's word. But he was always excused as he grew up in the 1920's.
oooh I love those nifty monkeys!
I guess I'm just not hip to these wicked, rad, woke terms that people use
Harp, I would expect no less due to all of your animal references.
do you need fifty monkeys to be nifty, or can it be a lesser amount?
moo, now you're going to have to explain all those here
you don't need to know the definitions to play these word games :)
I made it a habit not to use my kids terminology. It provokes dirty looks and eye rolls.
Totes, Molly
When I left New Zealand in the 80s "wicked" was a popular term...it's much more recently used in Boston
It is also unbecoming for people of a "certain age". Makes you sound like you are trying to sound young and hip, when you are definitely not.
I thought wicked was used in new england for a long time?
I think I missed the whole window for young and hip in conjunction
I've never been hip
Believe you're right hoke, I meant more that it faded out in NZ.. continued on for Boston for some reason
ah
Wicked has been used in Boston for years. It is not unique to New Zealand.
although the way it was used is a little different
wicked awesome
Well I don't count on y'all from other countries and what words mean after I found out what fanny means in the UK
yes, puts a whole new spin on "fanny" pack
And the song by The Bee Gees
When I was in Jr. High, "righteous" was a thing
righteous!
hmm, has the li8 been clued? don't recall seeing it while I've been here. is it a regular word?
I mean I have a good idea of the first 5 letters but can't seem to get it
nm
No problem, Peri
:D how about so8?
Battery
I guess not beating someone up
Sorry battery word
*Hit enter too soon
oh, why didn't you just say it ends with the 80s Little Caesar's pizza mascot?
4 difficult words left
actually, one was just a pl. that I was looking the wrong way (eye roll)
I guess you never hung out with car guys
no. but the word looks familiar to me
I always thought that was an "se."
ugh another of my "difficult" words was a pt
is st8 a regular word?
No
Do you want a clue, hokie?
sure
s + give 10% with an extra vowel (sorry, best I could come up with)
*gave rather
good evening
Hi phan
Hi. I am puzzling out that clue you just gave...
Is that painting one of yours, origami?
Yes, Gillie. The photo is a little squished, though.
well, that had me stymied, but your clue helped me know which 3rd letter to look it up.
I like it.
that's fireworks! thanks to all cluers and lickety
where does the extra vowel go?
Yay, hokie
well done Carla
Thank you, Gillie.
near the end phan
ph, it's making a sometimes vowel word (not in grid) a pt
oh, and of course it's an obsolete word
I am not sure I understand what you mean Carla
and of course it is
OK, I am deciding to pass on that word for now and just work the grid...
back again.....26 to go, or did I already say that
hi all, back again. help with li8 pls
hey peri, no idea....don't have that
but now that I know there's an li8...I shall loo
extend the 2nd LI 6/24
ah, thx monty
np mool ☺
would have almost certainly not got that without assistance
a strange one indeed...
more than a fair share of strange ones in this board
yes, that ET9 among them...
ty monty
oh, guess I'll look for that one now too...
got it
had the 6
np peri - ET9 ends in a number...
well done mool !
tx

evening
TO!!!!
oh my!
surprise!!!!!
this calls for a drink. but then again , nearly everything does these days.
I would give you a hug. . . but social distancing you know ;)
ditto. i was thinking about you. i was looking into raising a bay laurel but it seems not feasible this far north.
would need to overwinter inside and i don't have the space.
no? Mine did die from one too many freeze thaw freezes
I am starting my sixth since then. It takes a while to get it going.
that big thing died?
the tree?
my heart broke when it died. nearly 20 feet tall but skinny and it just split in two with the freeze
sorry. when?
I couldn't cut it down for a year and even then I saved the cut tree for a couple of years. completely irrationally.
about 5 years ago.
i don't know
so what's up with you TO?
not much. sometimes i get fits when i want to clean everything. madness.
;D
yeah I have been going through piles. I have thrown out hundreds of dead pens. I keep the pencils to donate to schools later.
chafing to start home improvement projects. of course, the same projects i have put off for a few years.
why don't you start them then? the hardware stores will deliver
i put pens and a spare mug into the common room at the library witha tnoe that read, need a pen, take a pen. . it was funny to see a guy look around and take the whole thing.
bot for me to do. but juest interviewd a new handyman. starting with outdoor stuff.
haha he must have been desperate. I only throw out the dead ones
sorry. they are handyman taks.
I am mainly sewing masks and protective gear for an outpatient clinic for immigrants and low income fold
folk
I understand. I get to ask help from the boy
looked like a hoarder to me, and i should know. have not been in MD since the eclipse. hate going there.
and before that when i saw you.
I am sorry.
things ended?
in a way. coming here is better, space to work, someone to feed you....
molls the ice cream truck is here!!!
YAYAYAYAY! toasted almond! strawberry shortcake> chocolate eclair!
put on your mask and I will give you a five and you can go get one.
:D
i want to finish this. before tv time. after all, i am sure there is lots of quality entertainment on. *eyeroll*
sheesh I hardly even turn it on. Even Jeopardy is a repeat tonight
like the news. why bother
I read the American e-edition of the British Economist each morning and that's it.
but I keep on keeping on. . . lead a Zoom workshop on Conversations with the Other: How to talk with people with whom you disagree politically.
someone we know swears by BBC online but it's as sensational as US news. i like NHK japan
That was a new experience and I can't wait to do it live again! Oy!
I like the BBC. The things they are sensational about our not our things so I don't care.
that sounds interesting but like a fanstasy
hmmm that may sound xenophobic. . .
its about conversations not debates.
i may take the contact tracing course from hopkins. but here it's going to be a paid position. i don't want to take a job from someone.
it's hard to separate the two these days.
I am sure there will be volunteer opportunities
well that is a lot of the point of the workshop
well it's what i trained to do and did for some years-counseling.
active listening, etc.
I like your profile story.
thank you. my alma mater sent it.
I have been sending postcards to kids, right now I am sending Frozen postcards with charater prototypes and talking about how an animated movie is made
i apologize for monopolizing chat. we have not seen each other for a long time.
I guess I need to update mine. My cat died about a year and half ago
to whom?? iw ant to work at the food bank but am a little chicken. i have friend who have some nive gigs, making welfare check calls, etc
oops. I just assume others would jump in. sorry if I have been rude.
but except for delivering meals to those who usd to go to senior centers, not much going on here.
chiildren of friends and collegues
nobody here to be offended :-)
i can send you a movie of the eclipse. director's cut. ;)
howdy Mr. 2bit! how's Ms. 2bit and the daughter?
that would be nice TO
they are also on FB
we are well, safe and healthy. miss2bit turned TEN on Friday
WOW TEN! hard to imagine
her big gift just arrived today in 3 large heavy boxes, which I am to turn into a backyard trampoline :-)
like a magician!
Have fund with that. Safety railings I hope?
my great niece with be 7 on Thurday and I am a bad great aunt because I forgot so I will have to fedex a present tomorrow to Brooklyn! Oy!
yes, a ring of pads and safety netting all around
very cool present!
thanks - I think like many parents we are anticipating not having many safe day camp or neighborhood pool options this summer
man, i lost so many words today even though i refreshed.
tics
the quaker camp in maryland is not opening this year.
wtg TO!
I don't know of day or sleepover camps open this summer
btw you have a word in your 6:36 comment
it is a major cost.
The Nationals are "giving" season ticket holders a credit for each game missed (my theory is that means all of them) that can be used on drinks and food and merchandise through next season.
That's a lot of beer
yes everybody is trying to hang on to money already given. I have tickets to four "postponed" concerts from March and April, and our county's parks & rec department has not yet started issuing refunds
the national zoo is also hoping to convert our camp fees to "donations"
anyone have in7/8?
in7 harm or pain on someone and plural

Titt?
Thought I Tried That
Oh jesus
Iha
I know. People say that all the time and I wonder if they look at what they type.
I never understand them
I don't understand 90% of the acronyms used.
I wonder why it is so hard to type out entire words, but that is just me.
I agree. It is hard to understand
Especially since this is a word game, where I would assume people like words. Whole words that is.
It is because pen is in a hurry to get lobster Rolls. Because she can
I think they all come from the texting generation.
I could go for lobster tacos right now
Every time one of my sons emails or texts me that he DEF can't wait for something, I want to smack him. But I love him so I refrain.
I could go for lobster anything right now. As long as it is good lobster.
I better not do DEF on an email
I think U will : P
You are just jelly
I think I hate "jelly" the worst.
Lol i knew it
Oh God, save me from "jelly". I really don't like that one.
Lol i knew it
And it is usually people WAY too old to be using it.
LMAO :D
