I have to go get my snow tires taken off. not that we ever got to use them this past winter.

8:17 am

hi Harry, 39 left here

things we don't deal with in NC

8:18 am

usually need to do this in april, but we haven't been driving hardly at all

8:19 am

Our cars are in for oil changes this week even though they have not been driven 2000.

I got a new (to me) car in Nov and keep getting emails from the dealer that it's time for service. I was like, I haven't been driving it anywhere! not sure how many miles I've put on it. have only gotten gas in it 3 or 4 times.

8:19 am

wow that's very studious of you bea

8:20 am

I'm bad about getting oil changed on time

8:20 am

It is harder on them sitting them it is riving them.

8:20 am

driving

8:21 am

really?

8:21 am

My keyboard is messed up today.

8:21 am

the oil decays just sitting there?

8:21 am

Yes, really.

8:21 am

The ol gets sludgy.

8:21 am

this is not good news. our cars have been sitting in the driveway the last 3 months

8:22 am

You need to make an appontment or an oil change. =)

8:22 am

ugh

which is it, an appointment or an oil change LOL

I kid I kid

8:23 am

Both!

8:23 am

LOL!

8:23 am

good morning everyone :)

8:23 am

such a hassle. why can't I just add some butter to the gas tank or something.

8:24 am

hi nan

8:24 am

I dropped my computer this morning. Keys sticking all over the place.

howdy nan

8:24 am

Morning, nan

8:24 am

Hi Nan

8:24 am

hi nan

8:25 am

(pictures keys sticking to the walls, the furniture, your hair...)

my keyboard could use a good cleaning

8:25 am

found an 8!

8:25 am

How do you clean the crumbs out rom under the keys?

8:26 am

ooh I just did this!!!

nice. I have one but don't rem. what it is.

8:26 am

The 8's are easy today.

8:26 am

is it a mac or a laptop bea?

8:26 am

laptop

8:26 am

I passed halfway and now must shop for my mother and visit her.

8:26 am

Have a good day, Scrabs.

8:27 am

so you can blow it out with compressed air, but I pried the sticky keys off and cleaned them and put them back. problem solved

bea, the guy at the apple store said I could bring my mac (which is a laptop, laptops can be mac or windows) in and they'd take it apart and clean it

8:27 am

say hi to Aurora, Scrabs

bye scrabbler

8:27 am

I found an vacuum cleaner attachment for cleaning keyboards a few years ago --- very handy -- maybe they are still available at one of the computer stores

8:27 am

but a mac keyboard is different. you can still blow it out with compressed air, but you can't pry off the keys.

but yes, I have done what Harry is saying on other keyboards

correct, no way to get in there to pry them out

8:28 am

I will get some air.

8:28 am

air is good.

8:29 am

We picked three gallons of plums yesterday.

I use it on my serger even though they say not to use compressed air on sewing machines

8:29 am

Now I have to do something with them.

8:29 am

ooh compote!

wow, should've waited for today. so cool out.

8:30 am

It was nice yesterday too,

8:30 am

Dentist appt today,

8:31 am

me too, Bea

8:31 am

89. bye all - bbl

bye HH

8:31 am

bye Harry

8:32 am

I don't know where I'm going to find another 93 words - they just don't seem to pop out for me any more -- maybe I've been playing this game too long.

bea, just noticed I only need 1 a from each a

8:34 am

Did you get the russian?

yes, while half asleep last night. I have 4 ts's!

phantom gentry and sentry

woot! g's finished

only 1 s away from finishing the first col

8:45 am

d's wrapped up and time for breakfast

oh, still need 4 d's and not sure where they're hiding

3 now, of course I was missing an easy 4

and another easy 4

ooh, found the other 8

8:53 am

last word = rh5.16 , latin pl for an ancient Greek drinking horn. This word and a few others were newbies for me; otherwise, a really fun grid. Happy Babbling to all !

interesting, will look for that, thanks. and well done.

found it once I looked in the right direction! 50 left!

8:56 am

Have you finished the RV, Carla?

no, going to do some finishing touches in a little bit. and we just did the bedroom, will have to do the rest later

9:00 am

H gray

I still need 6 H and have no ideas. I'm guessing there are weird ones?

9:02 am

Yes, there are some weird ones.

I did finish the smaller A, which was shocking

9:04 am

Phantom: sensory

well done dos - working my way through the list now. hagd

9:48 am

morning all

9:48 am

hi mool

9:50 am

hey nan, happy Monday

9:55 am

hello friends

9:55 am

hi trif

9:56 am

my kids are all into getting goats now. except one, who is horrified by us being the "hillbillies of newton"

9:56 am

are you all done, harry? Wednesday here...

9:56 am

I'm done. but my kids still have a couple days

9:57 am

that is so great harry! They are CHOWING through the worst patch of poison ivy I have, which is making me happy beyond measure

9:57 am

I'm trying to put together a field trip for my env sci students since we missed so many

9:57 am

but the harbor islands are CLOSED

9:57 am

so wait - you teach in a different district than your own kids attend? or are they not old enough yet?

9:57 am

my daughter loves the name leonardo de capricorn.

9:58 am

I am heartbroken that the islands are still closed - and Savers.

9:58 am

no same - but high school is over. 3 of my kids are still middle/elem

9:58 am

our ferries are running at 50% capacity but there are some first nation harbours that won't let them dock

9:59 am

ah. I see. I give you triple credit then - teaching in the town where you live is a whole 'nother affair

9:59 am

private school. we're all in the same school. the only reason I'm there is tuition break for faculty.

9:59 am

even better!

10:00 am

wow nan - your ferries are somewhat more essential than our harbor islands

10:01 am

at least the runs to Vancouver Island have been increased to 4 per day -- for a while there was only one trip each way per day.

10:01 am

do you have a favorite island? Mine is spectacle

10:02 am

I've only been to spectacle!

10:02 am

and deer island several times, but that doesn't count

10:02 am

travel in BC is still being discouraged Harry -- staycation is the word of the day

10:02 am

i really don't love the way the ferries run - in order to get to spectacle, which I can SEE from hingham harbor, we have to go to Rowe's wharf. it's so stupid

10:02 am

but people live on those islands and need to get around, right nan?

10:03 am

We took the T and hopped on the ferry straight to spectacle :)

10:03 am

from where?

10:03 am

from rowe's wharf?

10:04 am

from the harbor - right next to the aquarium

10:04 am

silver line

10:04 am

yes -- they were never without service -- just greatly reduced and for a long time it's been essential travel only. Our government has really clamped down hard to prevent the spread of covid - annoying but we have relatively few cases -- our biggest problem and most of the deaths here have been in assisted living homes and meat packing plants

10:05 am

that's rowe's wharf. I just don't like having to go all the way into boston to get to an island 10 minutes across hingham harbor.

10:05 am

aah. I'm unfamiliar with boston lingo. Only been here 7 years, and mostly home taking care of the kiddos.

10:06 am

everything here is way reduced as well. our rapid transit is way down.

10:07 am

its okay, i still like you, lol

10:07 am

spectacle island is SO great

10:07 am

spectacle island is SO great

10:07 am

hah. and I'm not a red sox fan either.

10:07 am

I would like to go camping overmight on one of the others, one day - I think plum and bumpkin allow, and maybe Peddock's?

10:07 am

thats troubling, but as long as you aren't a yankees fan, I will over look it

10:08 am

worse - mets.

10:08 am

I lived in queens in 1986

10:08 am

i like the mets! no worries on that score.

10:08 am

Lights a candle for harry

10:09 am

75 to go! I have to go get the bbq ready for my son. His teacher sent them sausages to have a zoom cookout together.

10:10 am

crazy things going on in school these days :)

10:10 am

oh how sweet! enjoy that harry

10:11 am

i am frustrated that enable won't take "ades" - lemon, lime....

10:11 am

*!*~*!* hagd and stay safe :)

10:12 am

scrabble in the US doesn't take ades

10:13 am

I go to Spectacle Island every summer to gather sea glass, as I make silver jewelry w/ it-- you're not supposed to take anything from a National Park, but they let me return last year's unused glass & get a small baggie full-- all I need-- I guess when they first opened, people were hauling hefty bags full-- a few spoiled it for all!

10:14 am

hello again

10:15 am

libarebel - ohhhh I have such a long history of being aggravated beyond words with that! The former keeper, alan, told some people they couldn't take any, but let two women from hingham take all they wanted - to the tunes of a boatload of five gallon buckets full! It's okay to take it from George's island, one island over. Sea glass is pretty trash, and all those islands are funded by taxpayers. pisses me off HUGE

10:17 am

is there a bifocal island too?

10:18 am

hahaha - the island looks like a pair of glasses, ruru

10:18 am

Me too Trif-- just like people hoarding all the hand sanitizer & other virus-related merchandise-- the reason that Spectacle is (was) such a treasure trove for sea glass is that there was once a dump located there...

10:18 am

i'm guessing the people there are progressive

10:18 am

there will never, ever be an end to the sea glass that will wash up there.

10:20 am

Wow, Trif-- hadn't thought of it being replenished...

10:20 am

is it hard to contact people there

10:20 am

I know someone in fl who does sea glass jewelry

10:21 am

Only those w/ foresight...

seems to get harder and harder to find sea glass on the lower east coast

10:22 am

I heard there is a hipster guru out there on that island...supposed to be a visionary

10:23 am

owl what state?

10:23 am

people dumped trash into boston harbor for centuries. that stuff will be washing up long after we are gone

10:24 am

It's a challenge to get nice colors, like turquoise, blue & red (now really rare)-- white's OK, but I find that people don't buy beer bottle brown or soda bottle green...

NJ. DE. NC

10:25 am

hmm had no idea

10:25 am

owl do you do jewelry/

10:25 am

Nice to know, Trif-- there must be currents for it to wash up there, as I haven't found much on the 2 other islands I've visited (George's & Nut)...

plastic had replaced so much. i cannot even think of anything in red.

no , fan

10:26 am

someone i know, who owns a house on sunrise beach in marshfield, takes her boat pretty far out from the beach, and dumps a bunch of blue bottles broken into small pieces. eventually, like a year later, they wash up.

or blue

10:26 am

I think old medicine bottles for red...

yes and i think bromo seltzer for blue but no more

10:27 am

That's great, Trif!

10:27 am

Milk of magnisia was blue bottles.

i have never been to the beach there. even when i was in Ri and CT did not go.

10:27 am

reisling wine comes in blue bottles

10:28 am

apparently they are fizzy tablets now

10:28 am

Yes, I think Bromo for blue-- the blue that I have found is very well smoothed, thus older than other colors...

10:29 am

Off to the dentist...34 let.

10:29 am

Good morning, folks.

10:29 am

Oh, Trif, give the lady from Hingham your blue!

10:29 am

have fun bzz

10:29 am

good morning origami

10:30 am

I meant Marshfield, Trif-- duh!

10:31 am

no way! I keep and make stuff out of every one! lol, just kidding (sort of)

10:31 am

sort of?

10:31 am

i'm rather mental about my blue glass....

10:32 am

story

10:32 am

tory

10:32 am

nice hint, thanks! lol

10:32 am

oops-- PB for me...

10:32 am

its okay -- i left a bottle of reisling in there

10:33 am

2 nice hints...

10:33 am

Oh, now PB is appealing...

i am listenting to the guidelines for daycare reopening. how the heck are they going to keep kids apart, sanitize and give them attention?

10:34 am

its all ridiculous, TO...they are cutting funding to schools right and left - what happened to all the parents in march, saying they would "pay teacher's anything" to open again?

no idea.

damn it words are disappearing again.

10:44 am

hate it when that happens!

10:45 am

happens almost every time I go back and forth

10:45 am

off to clean my cat's toilette-- my favorite chore!

10:46 am

lol

10:47 am

I have to do it daily-- he (cat) is fastidious!

trying to get things done before the tree people come tomorrow. trying to plant arosebush when i hate the sight of worms.

10:47 am

our cat is good with the litter stuff too

10:48 am

and sometimes as soon as hubby empties it out she goes again right after he is done

i do not miss that chore. when i think of getting a cat, i well remember

10:49 am

ra5/14(Last one)......clue please

10:49 am

He meows at it if it's not soueaky clean & makes me feel like a neglectful kitty mom, & yes, he immediately "christens" it too-- I don't know how he summons up the need for exact timing!

it's a cat. the mystery remains.

10:50 am

rags

10:51 am

OMG-- I must stop chatting-- I leave the cursor there-- back to PB...

10:51 am

the only one I have is a pl

it's pretty dusty in there.

10:53 am

aeb is that the one you have?

10:54 am

My cat seems to see ghosts-- he'll be pleasantly curled up w/ me in bed, then suddenly stares at the same spot on the wall & bolts-- I googled "can cats see something we don't", and the answer was yes-- UV light-- all the ghostbusters agree on UV light surrounding spirits-- kinda creeps me out...

10:54 am

oh the other one I have is a material

perhaps the fabric?

they can scare the hell out of you on a creepy night

10:55 am

do you know where the light might be coming from?

10:55 am

they sure can...

okay, time to go back to work. happy babbling

10:56 am

bye owl

10:56 am

i almost typed a word in chat

10:56 am

The light seems to be behind my bed on the right side-- just a wall there-- same spot every time...

10:58 am

i wonder if something causes it to move? like it comes from a mirror and movement from somewhere gets the cats attention?

10:58 am

MFLAN ty for your second clue

10:58 am

i have a hand held mirror that when its near light it goes on the wall and my cat wants to ffollow and catch it

10:58 am

follow

10:58 am

yw aeb

10:58 am

no mirror...

10:59 am

some type of light has to be creating it on a wall. does it go away if you or someone else goes in front of it?

11:00 am

i think you are right, libarebel - i think it might be a ghost

11:00 am

animals that I have known could see them

11:00 am

that's true o they hear things we dont

11:01 am

my babble ghost today is oratory

11:02 am

we have a poltergeist here, whom I have taken to calling "cousin john," after the farmer who used to own this place. I talk to him when he is up to things, just to calm him down and assure him I have the best interests of the place in mind. is it silly? probably. Can I prove it? nope. does it work? yes.

11:06 am

and there goes my last shred of sanity, as far as the chog is concerned....

11:09 am

fascinating, Trif

11:09 am

Trid how do you know its a man?

11:10 am

do you talk to patrick swayze too trif :D

11:10 am

i dont, i named it

11:10 am

i just figured maybe it was the guy who used to live here? I suppose I could have it totally wrong.

11:10 am

Trid thats cool. does he move stuff or just make his presence known?

11:11 am

moves stuff, makes noises. mostly whenever I am painting or such. I have to tell him it's okay

11:11 am

oooo his trying to tell you something.

11:11 am

i figure he just wants to keep an eye on things. okay with me, as long as he behaves.

11:12 am

trif did the previous owner die in the house? Have you checked in your local library for the history of your house?

11:13 am

earlier this year, i was awake, but lying in bed - i felt mike tug on the blanket twice, trying to get my attention, so I raised my head - to find mike wasn't in the bed at all, he was downstairs. later that same day, I was in my closet when a hat came off the opposite wall and bonked me in the head - i think that was my mum though.....

11:13 am

yes, and yes, mlf

11:14 am

why did you find out?

11:14 am

on that one day i said "Okay, you have my attention, what's up?" but no answer

11:14 am

I meant what

11:15 am

this house was built by the haskins family, who always hoped for a big family, but only ever had one son. it was a farm for years (pigs and cows).

11:16 am

that's cool

11:18 am

Wow, Trif-- mine doesn't move stuff, but the other day, I felt & heard a LOUD bang right next to me (I was next to same wall) I thought something had gone through the ceiling right next to me, it was that loud-- nothing there-- the next night, as I was just getting to sleep, I heard a very loud "toot" right behind me (same wall)-- both I & my cat jumped-- again nothing there...

11:18 am

i am fairly certain the owner just before us died here too

11:19 am

someone is trying to get your attention, for sure, lib

11:20 am

I think so too Trif-- I like your ghost better...

11:50 am

Boo!

11:57 am

Eeek!

11:58 am

I just finished a book titled "The Mercy of Thin Air" that is about a ghost inhabiting a house told from the ghost's perspective. It was pretty interesting.

12:00 pm

I'll just go on record.. I don't believe in ghosts

12:00 pm

that's ok they don't believe in you

12:01 pm

fine by me

12:02 pm

it's hard enough to find normal around here much less the paranormal :D

12:03 pm

:D

12:11 pm

the reopening of the LEGO store was a big thing

12:11 pm

12:20 pm

blocks?

12:21 pm

nice one, jmc!

12:23 pm

i just sent that one to primo - he replied "goddamit, mum!"

12:24 pm

was the pun on purpose?

12:27 pm

absolutely on purpose liba

12:27 pm

it was a joke only bichon

12:27 pm

:D good one!

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

stats for the T singleton on the bottom row please

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

I have been watching LEGO masters on t.v.

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

i knew you would get around to finding that word eventually....

12:33 pm

haha

12:35 pm

is it unseemly for me to admit that a certain education secretary wants to punch a kitten in the face?

12:35 pm

what!?!?! WTF

12:36 pm

what!?!?! WTF

12:36 pm

*hic*

12:36 pm

sorry - i meant *I* want to punch her in the face

12:36 pm

she makes ME want to punch a kitten in the face. I never, ever use this word, but I HATE HER

12:36 pm

oh that is more reasonable

12:37 pm

did you hear her latest? She told the state of connecticut that if they do not ban transgender athletes, they will not get federal funding. Is "quid pro quo" just how washington runs these days?

12:37 pm

I am working going over applicants for a very small scholarshp that I am on the board of and I send them info on financing education and . . . well. . . let's just say I get annoyed.

12:38 pm

it is how THIS administration runs things. . . lets not tar them all with the same brush.

1:25 pm

I will take the non-literate clue! hahaha

1:25 pm

is no7 a word I should know?(not asking for a clue)

1:25 pm

I like non-literate better than illiterate

1:26 pm

put them together and what do you got? bibbidi bobbidi boo

1:26 pm

yes ml

1:26 pm

... if you read a lot of Victorian novels

1:26 pm

1:26 pm

... a young lady might wear one for the scent

1:27 pm

I'm more Regency or Roaring 20s

1:27 pm

oh yes i found that one last night

1:27 pm

I thought it was a horse thing

1:27 pm

... Jane Austen meets Scott Fitzgerald ... an interesting pair

1:27 pm

1:28 pm

i keep thinking i can try GR- and it is not there

1:29 pm

hi hurshy yeah you would be lost

1:29 pm

Did you know that another term for nosegay is a tussy-mussy (and yes, I typed that very carefully)

1:30 pm

go to the pb molly

1:30 pm

hah

1:30 pm

... that would be 135 points if we skipped the hyphen

1:31 pm

a hyphen is 15 points by itself!

1:31 pm

you forgot the multiplier HH

1:31 pm

thank god

1:32 pm

... that might make it 240 points ... we've had entire grids not adding up to that

1:32 pm

I misread what Harry posted and was waiting for all hell to break loose.

1:32 pm

name that proper noun! hilarious actor from Psych and A Million Little Things

1:32 pm

well it helped me Molly, so thank you

1:33 pm

done!

1:33 pm

I beat mool! I beat mool!

1:33 pm

actually, I would have missed it entirely, if not for ML's comment ;)

1:33 pm

no Fitzgerald please. He wrote beautiful paragraphs but terrible plaots

1:33 pm

Yeah well I meant to type no7 but alas, I did not

1:33 pm

congrats harry

1:33 pm

Whoo hooo Harry

1:33 pm

yay HH

1:33 pm

still 17 left for me, even with the assist

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

next time we keep your right hand tied behind your back

1:34 pm

and a cat on my keyboard ;)

1:34 pm

mool what is wrong with you ??? you are NOT done YET???

1:34 pm

I've had work to do I'm afraid ML...

1:34 pm

mool don't blame it on the cat!

1:35 pm

aww poor mool:

1:35 pm

on the contrary, lucky me...not everyone is as fortunate

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

tc HH

1:37 pm

bye harry

1:37 pm

bye harry

1:37 pm

as the cat in the meme says of a keyboard - "if not for sits, why is it made of warm?"

1:39 pm

I love those quotes hurshy

1:39 pm

gonna take a break, not seeing anything...bbl

1:40 pm

i have hit 90%, i shall now list

1:41 pm

... at 90% you certainly deserve to ... ... well done

1:44 pm

that is my usual goal, if it is not too hard a grid i might not list, if it is very hard i might list at 80% or 85%

1:45 pm

sorry, i should have punctuated that better.

2:02 pm

sorry, I should have punctuated. That better?

2:04 pm

haha

2:10 pm

did I ever tell you that there was a legal case that was won (or lost depending on how you look at it) on the lack of an Oxford comma?

2:21 pm

Oh we have had long discussions about Oxford commas in my workplace.

2:23 pm

I am a huge fan myself

2:25 pm

Me not so much. Was that the Oakhurst Dairy case?

2:44 pm

I love, it

2:45 pm

yes. that is the most recent one.

2:48 pm

the issue was whether the phrase , packing for delivery or distribution was one thing Packing for delivery and distribution OR two things 1) packing for delivery and 2) distribution

2:50 pm

Back from the dentist. And it is still raining...

2:51 pm

court concluded that since there was no comma it was the packing that was relevant to delivery and distribution and not the two items 1) packing for delivery and 2) distribution. Drivers got more overtime from that decision

2:53 pm

hi bzzn

2:56 pm

this is a very very off the wall question jmc, but do you know of anywhere that teaches international maritime law that does courses on it?

3:15 pm

sorry I was distracted by work. I seem to recall seeing maritime law at some law school. Possibly mine. Let me check.

3:16 pm

I seem to be spending a lot of time these days working with UNCLOS and legal ramifications around continental shelves and slopes and I'm half considered whether I can find a way to do an MA or something in it

3:16 pm

looks like a lot of coastal schools do--U. of Miami, Tulane and such

3:17 pm

MA? LL something!

3:17 pm

hmm I think they are mainly for JDs but I saw Tulane say something about a certificate. LLM which is a Masters after a JD which is what I have

3:18 pm

I kind of feel if I can quote large chunks of UNCLOS as a marine biologist, I should learn the legal undestanding behind it and really get to grips with how lawyers see it rather than how clueless marine biologists see it

3:18 pm

HI Ata, jmc. hello all

3:20 pm

try here https://tinyurl.com/y8lfmw3r

3:20 pm

hi peri

3:22 pm

help with ga7 or ro7 pls

3:23 pm

There's a new thing called a Master in Law--I am not sure how valuable they are, but they're designed for folks without JDS who need some formal legal training in a particular area. LLM's on the other hand are masters in law degrees for those who already have a law degree, foreign or domestic.

3:25 pm

Morning all.

3:25 pm

Peri - outside spaces and rats

3:25 pm

hi lyn ty for ro

sorry, I didn't have that when you asked bichon. well, still don't but I wasn't ignoring you.

howdy pen

6:20 pm

hi carla....

6:21 pm

Hi Pen. Did you know that berzerker rhymes with lurker? : D

6:22 pm

yes, and so does shirker... ;o)

6:23 pm

"the beserker worker was a shirker and, to no one's surprise, a lurker..."

6:23 pm

How's life in Maine? Has the great lunch place opened up yet?

6:24 pm

nope....they closed in March.....sold the building to some dentists.....business was good, but the owner was tired of running it....

6:33 pm

i am done....did need to look up my last word....

6:37 pm

I've seen both berserker and berserker. The X-Men comics tend to like berserker

I'm not wearing my glasses but am not seeing a difference in your words

6:37 pm

um...aren't those two the same??

6:38 pm

Oops, I meant berserker and berserker

lol

is this an autocorrect issue?

6:39 pm

Let's try this one more time berserker and berserker

6:39 pm

So it would seem

oh my

6:39 pm

berzerker and berserker

6:43 pm

that's how this conversation is going, lol....

6:44 pm

well i am off.....goodnight all....

6:45 pm

I should be out calming people down and helping them to be accustomed to their misery. Wait, that didn't come out right.

6:46 pm

On the other hand, maybe Babbling is the absolutely best thing I can do for the world at this time.

6:57 pm

I look at the grid and see a sea of nonwords, such as torth and sorad

6:58 pm

Wow, I don't think I have seen berserker so many times in one chat. But maybe it is appropriate, all things considered.

7:20 pm

clue for ar6,18 plz

7:22 pm

sounds like a misspelling of a former talkshow host

7:23 pm

tyvm

7:23 pm

7:24 pm

sorry

I too have 11 left but I went to the list with 31 left today

and now I can't find a 5/10, 6/18 combo

7:25 pm

all my 11 are in the middle three columns

I still have 2 w's, but I the rest are in 3 & 4 col
