Thanks Lickety.

and done. my phantom was actually in the grid. *sigh* cooee and g'day from me.
i hope you are all enjoying the grid. for some reason it just didn't flow for me. i had to struggle for my last 30. ah, well. they can't be all easy, right? otherwise we would get bored and find something else to do...see you all at the flip. happy day/eve to all.
too many a's. and phantom adult
I have to agree with you, Carla.
Hokie, same A's are not my favourite letter to start with
you probably already have them all :D
I only have 8
they are annoying, M3. do I even know 36 a's?
i know i dont hehe
I do have all the other vowels.
I'm just on 2nd row but the 1st row e & o were no problem
looks like I just need 2 e's from the bottom and then I'll have all the other vowels
I made masks with the surge elastic. Very nice stuf.
yes, I think it's probably more comfy but I haven't made any for myself with it
hi all
howdy j
Hello, jmc.
lots of words begining with vowels :(
I found 10 of the middle a and then moved on
eek, 41 B's
Good morning Carla, Bea and Merry Sunshine : D
Good morning, Molly.
morning
I love it when I think I'm just making words up, it takes, and then I realize oh, that is a common word.
Morning, all :-)
morning, une
Hey, une.
I'm so glad it quit raining.
I'm so glad it quit raining.
we only got 2"
Did you get a lot of rain, Carla?
We've got that fine mist kind of drizzle going on here. Very gloomy
We had 10". Five of those over night yesterday. We still do not have sun.
Veerrry dry here....
Damn, that is a lot of rain
we had a huge poor down over the nighe several inches
no sun here. we had black clouds pretty much all day yesterday like it was about to pour but it did nothing all day
Same here hokie
Glad no rain today.... transporting sweet rescue tripod pittie girl .....glad roads are dry
it rained and rained here but I am southeast of Molls
where are you transporting, just in Nashville?
it has stopped for the moment but still gloomy
Oh we had big rain overnight. Now just drizzly stuff. More to come, it looks like.
oh misunderstood the drizzling remark
it must've rained here overnight because the deck is wet
Picking her up in east TN.... then she'll continue west
frozn princess in the grid
safe travels, une
Thanks!
already been singing the song, jmc
so close to having another princess in the grid - mulan
now have 20/36 a's
but the rest of the vowels are kaput ;)
wd hokie
I just closed out the A's =)
of course! well done
WOW bzzn!
I still have two blank T's...
I have 1 A word hahahaha
i have al lthe e's hehe
haha I have 1/2 of them
i will never find all the a's
HA! Now I have them all.
just found a hummus brand - did not know that's what the word meant!
Some of those A words are a stretch
must be in my missing 16 because the ones I've found are pretty regular, which makes sense
If you finish A and B, it's 1/3 of the grid, wow
well, I have gotten at least half of each tile except the N and lower T, just not seeing much there. only found 2 7's and nothing higher. 93 left for later. must get some things done. TTFN
bye hokie

Hi everyone.....
hi flask
ab 8 where animails are slaughtered for comsuming
I knew the word i had to ask Alexa how to spell it lol
haha the word I know for that M3 is stockyard!
maybe slaughterhouse
jmc...we have something in common...our dislike of A words....or at least trying to find them...
and there are soooooooo many today!
flask did you see my profile pic?
no?
jmc, we call them ab8, we dont like to tell people we slaughter animal befor we eat them!!
that is the McNeil castle in the Bay off Barra
Missing an 8
M3 I know I have seen that word before but danged if I can remember it. I will creep up on it later.
Its beautiful...is it on an island?
yes in a bay surrounded by Barra The southernmost inhabited island.
The ne, Bea?
The laird lives in Detroit and his grandfather refurbished the castle before they made all the laws about what you can and can't do.
Yes, I found it.
whats it called jmc?
Of course you did, clever woman : D
I didn't think of that sufix until welki clued the mu.
The McNeil Castle is all I know. The Isle of Barra is the home of the McNeil Clan
That suffix gets a bit of use today
Yes...its a beautiful part of the country..
the ar's are difficult oh and the at's
So JMC, as a descendant, do you have a standing reservation at the castle any time you want to drop by? : D
My boy and I went sea kayaking among teh brown seals. We later spent the
haha no
'Tis a pity
No Molls. Only the Laird
we later spent an evening in the pub with this sweet drunk guy trying to tell me how to shoot pool. And I guy playing a squeezebox for drinks.
0.....
Accordion?
*a guy
sounds fab jmc....by the way are you McNeil???
a small accordian
Squeezebox for drinks, there are so many naughty places you could go with that...
haha my secret is out flask
it was a bucket list item for me
we also accidently ended up at teh
Edinburg Festival
0h I love the Edin Fest.
We had a great time and in Glasgow we found a good Mexican Restaurant and I got to listen to a drum and pipes band.
I love to be able to meander along Princes Street taking in all the wee sideshows......now as for Glasgow....I think its the friendliest city in the country...the people are wonderful...they are famous the world over...
my boy and I both liked Glasgow best. It seemed very livable.
I love "outlander"
Oh yes....the folk are fab!
jmc...do you think you would come back?
Bichon, I have never watched it
yes, but I may go to Ireland next. My grandfather was born in Dublin. Then maybe to Scotland again.
Outlander is a great series
Lol...I have family in Dublin too....my father was an Irish man.....
Well maybe we can do a Babble Meetup with Atalante and you then.
I am a huge fan of Babble Meet Ups
I'm laughing because you're probably thinking to yourself this woman likes to spread herself about....
have you done a few?
Are you kidding? I grew up in Texas. The British Isles are a postage stamp!
At one time I was the Meet Up Queen. :)
Really??
I still think you have met more people who play than anyone else
I suspect that is true. Not everyone likes to travel as much as I do.
And a couple of Babblers have come to DC!
From the UK?
bu7/44.....clue please
None from the UK yet. I tried to hook up with Atalante but that didn't work out when I was there.
Maybe this time.

good morning
hi car
hey car
ta for the 9 flask! hahaha
hi to all since I wonderedoff
Good grief...cat just showed up at the slider door with "fresh kill".
Thank goodness it is closed!
I like that term...wondered off
ah the cat loves you!
kind of like just the mind wandering off rather than the whole body
Yes, he does.
hope it's not a bird
I often wonder off
chipmunk. The two cats have just about elimated them from our yard. and we only have 1 squirrel that comes to the edge of the yard now
lol....I would love to say you're welcome jmc...but don't want a lynching...:
haha there is a great country music song that was sung: Wandering wandering, if you're wandering too"
I hate it when they get the bunnies, especially the babies. And I have told them birds are off limits!
not to worry flask. . . the story about me putting the entire list in the chog is true and I am still alive and kicking
I am a fan of killers of bunnies myself. . . the bunnies eat my garden to the ground.
I read back on yesterday's brouhaha and I just didn't get what the fuss was about.. the comment was to no one but JMC
well let it go ru. . . I have
me too....
i did.. I'm glad i missed it
I guess larb is too foreign a dish for enable
Poor chipmunk...it was just playing dead. all sorts of chaos is now happening on the deck.
(hums National Geographic theme song...)
haha sorry I am not there to see it car
nice wee clue there jmc...ty
have you seen the nature spy show?
yw flask
they make mechanical bears and birds and fish. . .it is amazing
your cats listen to you to not eat birds Car?
the spycam with animals?
its brilliant!
I wish. We had a nest with babies in our doorway. I was petrified he would eat them when they tried to fly, but they made it!
yes flask it is so fun to watch
it really is...
stuck at 62.
bbl!
sadly I am stuck at 59 but in my case that is the number of words I have. . . .
bye harry
Honestly, I do not like the killing part, but I love to watch my cats outside. It is SO their element! They were inside cats as long as I could manage it, but the will in them was waaaaaay too strong. I have had other cats that could care less, but these two could not and would not be denied life in the wild!
My husband is sweet enough to pick up the carcasses for me. I just can't do it.
being a birder, I won't let my cats outside :0
sounds like the killing fields there
Its not an easy grid at all today....
not at all
I absolutely love birds and love bird watching.
I would have feeders all over the place, but I was out voted by my hubby and MIL
a neighbor and her daughter had a squirrel in their yard that they watched every day. One day a hawk swooped down and grab and ate the squirrel in front of them. The mom sought words to talk to her daughter about it but the daughter said: Circle of life, mom.
Amen
Yeah, had a friend who taught a squirrel to wait outside his window and he'd feed it...same result
Oh dear...
Still traumatic though
for the mom. The daughter not at all. The lion king was good for something.
Ahhh...the mighty hunter is back without his prey. It got away...but the other cat is out in the Savannah still...
This is my older cat, Dante. He is now lying on the kitchen floor, clearly exhausted from all that "work".
very few outdoor cats in my neighborhood. I have a feeder by my window where I work and I watch the birds beat up on each other. But some are very pretty.
Occasionally get a coopers or sharp shinned walk to feed off the bird feeder birds
walk-hawk
I am always amazed at the colors in birds, how their feathers lie, the way they fly...I absolutely love them. It is something my dad shared with me, so it is extra special
the feeder is squirrel proof but there are a couple of squirrels that are convinced they will outsmart it.
Wow!
Well that can be hours of entertainment right there!
Yeah, my daughter has picked up a lot from me watching the birds, so I get that jm
special for me too
where are all of these m words hiding?
stubborn critters are they?
seems to be I only have 3
Clearly the Enable word list makers did not have a healthy outdoor upbringing. Otherwise they would know that mudball sure as hell is a word.
am really struggling here today...
haha so my clue was no help then
I kept trying to find mudlark Molls
for that one word, yes it was...lol
plural flask
Thanks JMC, I have all the m's. I was just griping about mudball. It reminded me of the conversation of the other day.
I need help please with the fourth column bottom T?
tu 7/32 and tu 6/27
phantom: tabulate
I keep trying blue as well
ty! got it!
yw car
I needed more help than that! haha
Yeah, that tu7 didn't just roll out of my brain either
in my back yard there are 8 squirrels, a groundhog and more birds than i can count and chipmunks.
nice sammys
they are feasting on the peanuts that walter feeds them nice ???????????
i see the 7 from that bottom t you're discussing but having trouble with the 6
you'll have to steppe it up hurshy
the 6 has nothing to do with the 7
that one comes from the third row ruru, if i understand you correctly
oh...
the 6 almost seems musical
you could say the tu6 is like the woman in pyscho
bbl 186 left (I am guessing no FW for me today)
I was going to say the instrument in Psycho
tu6/27 - extend the big brass to make a verb from a skinny pipe
thanks everyone :D
I think everyone knows the first four letters now : D
Could I have the stats for any of the 8s please?
tu 6: what you take a bath in + consumed
mud--
ne 8/50 is my only 8 jax
just have the ab 8/50 and ne 8/50
Thanks, I'll go looking
well that was weird
le8/55 and pe8/55
pe8
and le8
ah, molly beat me to it
ty for the le 8 - still struggling with the pe
Are any of them compound words?
no
3 have to do with making something work
the ab 8 is a slaughterhouse
ugh
Thanks nan
clue for the pe 8 please?
you should be able to get it if you have the other 8s nan
Oh sorry wrong one
Think grandfather clock
tried that, mool but it isn't accepted
think adjective
make it an adjective
yeah
Do they all end the same way?
nope
ok - ty - thought you said it ended like all the others.
8's done
Yeah, that was my bad nan...was thinking of the ne
how can we have ablutions if we can't ablute?
well you can have salutations, but you can't salutate
you can salute
likewise orientations don't orientate...despite the best efforts of some public speakers
but they do orient
you'll get yourself in trouble there hursh
interestingly enough, m-w does have ablute
so it is a shocking omission here then!
indeed, we should write to our representatives
I'm starting to think ro4 appears in more boards than not
lol
Does the le8 build off of another word? Got the other 3 8s.
most things at the library are LE8, but not certain reference materials
NM found it
Thanks Hurshy
mhm
my dog is very pettable.. but enable doesn't like that either
I'm just wondering what Hurshy's date would think if she told him she needed to go ablute. : D
he'd like it - evidence of my intelligence turns him on. :D
why am I thinking of a Fish called Wanda right now
wait so the 8s were listed but what is the 9?
at9
And Ru, I was thinking more of Annie Hall
thanks molly
* wondering if intelligence is one of hurshy's at 9's
i think this grid is harder than it looks
just found an odd br7
It is a fight between bands of hellion kids
lol
name that proper noun! wealthy middle eastern city
don't know about that one -- just the Montana town
but the montana town COUNTS and is thus ineligible for NTPN
yes, and it's one of the most polluted towns in the US
as are most mining communities
:(
but then, what would we do without copper wire and copper bottomed pots?
hmm... i think this grid has a word in it to describe it... 'orable
nan... do you like copper bottom pots?
lol, i wouldn't go THAT far
Dubai
I used to before the days of glass cooktops
i inherited some... and i think they are more trouble than they are worth
*and before they got to be so darned expensive
I would be surprised if Nan has not heard of Dubai
ding ding ding!!
yes - wasn't really looking for it Molly
Rolin, keeping them clean is a pain. Mine generally only shine like new copper a few times a year.
using the granite pans now -- love them
I was going to do name that proper noun with the perfume but then realized it was a playable word.
exactly molly.... if i cant get at a pot with a scourer or put it in the dishwasher...i'm not interested...
I find with the glass top stove that I have to scrub the pot/pan bottoms after every use in order to keep the cooktop clean.
hmmm... another of my stay away froms.... glass top stoves
I have ab8 and la8 help with other two pls. hi all
Stuck on my last word - ta5/16. Anyone have this?
I wish they would bring back the solid elements -- liked them a lot better
ne8 and pe8, peri
I hand wash my non-stick pans. That is enough. Everything else goes in the dishwasher. I don't care if it makes the handles look worn out.
i don't but will look now Chris P
ty hurshy looking
got the ne8 ty
not pettable but should be
same here molly -- except for my ceramic knives -- hand wash those too
tu + another term for a dinner roll
i mean TA ugh sorry
ty hurshy
Ty hurshy - thought I'd tried that!!
I guess enable doesn't consider labrat one word even though it combines many others that aren't really legitimate either.
nor the stuff we breathe + ba4
Shame there's no h, otherwise there would be an easy 8!
:D
:D
mu7?
name that town in Norway, Sweden, Yorkshire and everywhere else the Vikings settled
hi all. need clues for 8s and 9s. ty. stats and clues. ty.
at9/72
mu 7 - can be made silent?
ab8/50, pe 8/55, ne8/50, le8/50
thanks cnan
you'd think i'd think of that with all of the words that have that structure today, but noooo
nbt
ty. any clues welcome as i am not seeing them.
ty
at - someone's strength is an at9
or, you can say that someone's success was at9d to their hard work
the le8 and ne 8 both end with a common ending today. Pe8, think grandfather clock
got at jax. ty.
Ab slaughterhouse
thinking about these. very difficult for me.
Took me a while to find them
got at 9. but no 8s. have 7s.
ab 8 is a slaughterhouse
looking but dont think i know the ab word.
got the slaughterhouse. ty.........
yeah google
i hate that word. well, i hate the existence of such places.
you must be a vegetarian, then
yeah
i eat some seafood, but i know i'm going to need to get off that too, sooner or later, since we're overfishing and the ocean is becoming more acidic, we're just not going to have that as an option at some point
even some of the seafood is contaminated now -- especially the stuff coming from the orient -- not sure about the shrimp from argentina
Don't get the Grandfather clock reference - further hint needed please
starts like fulcrum's invention
oh of course it's CONTAMINATED, i just mean someday there won't be many fish to eat, contaminated or otherwise
everything, including the air and water, all over the world, is contaminated by microplastics, so, you literally cannot live on this planet right now without having them in your body, along with whatever chemicals they have picked up in their journey through the world
alleyn, are you a Poe fan? The Pit and the .... - but turn it into an adjective form
down to 12, but need a break
Wow Hursh, that's a cheery thought
not cheery, but an important fact that people should know.
And whatever you smoked in the 70's....
any clues for the T bottom row? TY
tu7.32
and tu 6/27
<---not a smoker
Me either now.
But you can now eat it. =)
got Tu 6 - is the TU 7 related
Who knew we would one day have marijuana vending machines.
no
the whole world has gone to pot
tunette
A tiny tuner
Sorry, wv, that is not a word...said like Alex Trebek
got TU 7 anyways
actually have a tiny tuner for my instruments (along with a bigger one)
ok i am not getting the tu words. any clues as to meanings or other things? ty
Not sure whether to play Tiny Bubbles or Tiny Dancer
Do Ho any time!
I vote against the Elton John. Unless it's something off yellow brick road. or don't' shoot me I'm only the piano player
Don
yes don ho.
got a tu 6 so am ok now. ty.
I'm quite fond of Burn Down the Mission
My Mom had a big crush on Don Ho. When she met my friend Todd, who is half Japanese and part Hawiaan, she sighed and said "Oh, he looks like Don Ho"
yes. what album is that from rasta
TU 6 / TU 7 combo - think northern Canada terrain
Tumbleweed
old Elton John songs were really quite good.
And old Billy Joel songs
Sorry Tumbleweed Connection
Billy Joel post glasshouses just doesn't do it for me
That's when he had bernie taupin writing for him. Yes, Tumbleweed Connection
Billy Joel/Turnstiles was one of his best.
Did you two see Rocketman, and if so, what did you think?
Once he started up with that supermodel it all went downhill
didn't see it
ditto Lyle Lovett. Once he got with Julia whatsername
I didn't see it. I saw the Freddie Mercury one, which was pretty good
Julia Roberts
yes! ty christa
very odd couple
I love babble & hello everyone
"labrat" was not found in the dictionary
Hello, Christa.
my head of school is very verbose. He just sent out a 7 paragraph email to all parents, students and faculty which says absolutely nothing.
50 to go! will bbl to list. hagd all
shouldn
wtg harry
shouldn't pendula be the plural of pendlum?
wouldn't be pendulae?
wouldn't it be
wikipedia says it is the neuter plural of pendulus. But I guesss Enable doesn't know it.
what Enable doesn't know is legend
I'm here listening to a a zoom meeting about raised bed gardening...
learn anything?
Last meeting like that I listened to I finally left because it was so regional and the region was Arizona
Not yet. =)
This one is from my Master Gardener group. It will get me an hour of edu time. =)
nice
I chopped all of my joe pie weed to 1/3 height. We will see how that does. Any thoughts on Poke Weed?
my dog is very pettable, I don't see why that isn't a word
apparently endtable is two words. And I was so excited to find it.
Poke weed...get rid of if.
ruru had the same thought hokie
So did Peri
because he also has a very pettable dog
how? It has roots to the center of the earty
I agree. My cats were always pettable.
Just keep digging it out.
that's what I was afraid of.
mine actually insists you pet him any time you're in the same room, which is always because he follows you everywhere
he's very huggable too
Poke is edible.
poke is also a paper bag
I have a raised bed that was poorly designed by a friend of mine--well made just poorly designed--and it collapse last winter under the snow and ice.
That "un" combo is sooooo tempting. But alas, there are none.
really How do you eat it>
I thought poke weed was poisonous
I don't live in poke country, so I've never actually had it.
Would you be able to use an organic herbicide on it?
that's what I thought Molls
Would you be able to use an organic herbicide on it?
I've heard poke salad is big in HI but I don't know if it's the same as poke weed
I think if you get it young it's ok.
no, poke in hawaii is raw meat
I would be wary of any herbcide
you have to be a senator from the South to get poke when it's young
But what about vinegar, salt and dish detergent?
we have some new fast food place called "poke Doke" you say the e. Kinda like sushi except sliced beef and prok, with vegs ets
that I would try. I use detergent on my roses sometimes
poke is how my older family would say pork
I think you can google the specs on that. Mr. Bea uses that for spraying on small spots in ou yard.
which poke is worse, poisonous weed or raw meat?
Sunday poke roast
https://willowhavenoutdoor.com/feature\nd-wilderness-survival-blog-entries/pok\ne-pokeweed-poke-salet-survival-wild-ed\nible/
some raw meat is quite tasty
wow, how did that link not blow the chat?
i don't like raw anything
not even raw lettuce?
quite fond of ceviche myself
me either. except raw fruit
ok pastor J.. you win :D
my job here is done.
mmmmmmm ceviche
wd Pastor
e. coli loves raw lettuce though ;)
ty! not often anyone can get ahead of ru.
there is a dish called wilted lettuce which is lettuce sauteed in butter
that is what the faucet in the kitchen is for hokie
nope I have done it a time or two but it is a rare things
We have wilted lettuce all the time. Love it!
cream of lettuce soup is a thing too, when your garden is overrun
Well just remember what Hurshy said earlier. Everything is contaminated by microplastics. So it's only a matter of time. Live large while you can.
However, I use a little bacon fat and crumbled bacon , then add a white balsamic and drizzle over the fresh lettuce.
what is really good cooked is rocket/arugula. Tastes like peanuts when it is cooked.
mmmmmm bacon
I am so happy I just finished baking some bacon for supper
My mom fixes two pounds a week. =) But she is 80 and she can eat as much as she wants!
haha I hae only gotten to the point where I don't eat every bit I cook.
goodness, has enable suddenly taken to hating words today?
i'm off of bacon.. although i love it
I don't eat a lot. Love me a BOLT or a BLAT.
I swear, Ru will be sitting on a mountain top, levitating above the ground before too long.
no offense to hurshy but she also said one diet soda a day was just as bad as smoking cigarettes.obviously micro plastics is a problem since they have now been banned from HBA but I'm not going to let it stress me out. leaving that to covid.
LOL! IKTR, Carla. I will be really pissed if I quit smoking and COVID takes me out!
WHAT TO YOU MEAN LEVITATING? :D
IKTR?
I think she meant IKR
IKR?
which is I Know, Right?
I guess ru has to yell so we can hear him down here
I Know Thats Right
ah, see a new one on me
have i mentioned lately how much i hate acronyms?
I may have heard it a time or two
HIMLHMIHA?
LOL!
ha! just guessed a science word!
I agree ru
with all these latin endings there's a fair amount of science
I bought new face coverings the other day. Wore it shopping today for the first time. Really liked it.
Bzz, did you order them online, and if so from where?
pretty soon you'll be wearing a burkha bea :D
I found them at my local WlaGreens.
ah, thanks!
I want to rent a hazmat suit to show up at a local restaurant for laughs
Oh I'm waiting for people to start wearing HazMat suits in public. Carla will be among the first.
I have been out in public recently in just mask
my solution is to stay at home mostly
I'm not sure I would wear a burka, ru.
got a pattern for one that uses knit fabric and goes over your whole head and a cotton insert in front of your nose and mouth. haven't gotten around to it yet.
bet that gave everyone a shock, carla
Wow, no gloves? No showering and laundering when you get home?
and when I say "just mask" I mean in addition to clothes
ha! ata was on it
:D
whew! I was invisioning "just a mask"
I only wore gloves once when I had a cut on my finger. just wipe my hands down in the car and wash them good at home
The one I have is like a spandex fabric. You can wear it as a mask, a cap, a collar a do rag...
like the buffs they wear on survivor?
Yes, but not a large, maybe.
some of the girls wear them as tube tops on there
*now envisioning only gloves"
i'd go out with two masks carla if I were you :D
*Wants to see Bea in a doo-rag
what on earth is a doo rag
The ones I bought are a little too small for that. Unless you boobless like me.
Bea in a doo rag and a burka.
Mr. Bea wears a do rag when he is working outside.
I go back and forth from extreme stress to being resigned to whatever is going to happen is going to happen.
do you know Bret Michaels from Poison, Ata? he wears a doo-rag a lot
I do have a cap that black women wear to sleep in. I wear mine in the kitchen to cook.
you can image search him or just search for doo-rag
a doo rag is a cloth wrap round your hair. kinda looks like a pirate scarf
I suspect it's really do-rag since it's for or part of a hairdo
huh
breathe deeply and hold it for the count of 10 and then exhale. do that three times. you will feel better for it
'i have seen it spelled both ways
done! last word sounded like domo arigato Mr. ra6
whoo hoo harry!
gracias, cause you know I didn't have that made up word
and well done. somehow I still have 79 left.
hah
120 left here hi all
<==161 left
I listed the last 50.
I've got 135 words plus another 15 that enable does't like
hi Ata!
hi peri! :D
the only word I am sulking about is larb
I have 17 left.
I'm still annoyed about ablute
It is a struggle.
I tried that one Ata
I still have 18 4's left!
ablute annoyed me also
did not annoy me as I don't know it
never made ablutions?
bbl
I can not believe I didn't see my lady part...
just looked it up, I guess the methodists don't do that as I've never heard that
ha! bea. I got that earlier. don't forget to plural!
its just washing your hands, at least over here. nowt religious
actually, not plural, but make adj
then pl that
I go tthem.
i saw that word right away
it's morning wash up in my family
ru, you should probably not admit to seeing the word ;)
seeing is ok.. isn't it?
I guess I never know around here these days
just went through all my open tiles and did not find any of the 18 4's!
i have ten fours left hokie just to make you feel better
that does, thanks
I still have 5 6's and a 7...
i'm missing 9 sevens. this is an odd grid for me
I'm missing 12 7s, but I still have 76 left, so missing lots of things :D
My 7 has to be a d or an l
i have a lu7 bea
I have lu7
amazing how words are so much more obvious when someone says one is there
ooooh and theres some seaweed too
Got it. LA7.28
really? I still don't have lu7.
It's a little wor, Carla
I should just take a break. not seeing words.
put your glasses on, carla take another look
word
I am riding in my motorhome right now getting sleepy
i need a break from this.. see you guys later
Where are you going, Carla?
Tell me tomorrow. I found my last...du5.14...See you all tomorrow.

nu

haha not hardly mooling but I plug away
each one counts :)
I was so happy to get fireworks yesterday the firsst in several years since I hadn't been around much until lately
Oh, congrats!
I don't get fireworks most days
i am generally happy to chat and plug away
yep, I like the challenge, but don't need to complete to enjoy
back in 2010 I would get fw often but never daily. Then happy when I only wandered by occasionally I would aim for nbt/nbs
anything is fine
When I first started I wanted to complete every grid, so used the list...now just want to see what I can find for myself with the odd clue
Oh I could have given it to Carla with a Big Comfy Couch mention.
first pe6/24....clue please
Ifound lu7 but not la7
help with pe8 pls
nvm
pe4/5+ vowel+consonant+plural of is
looking
not getting it
an adjective for a grandfather clock
the PE8 i have starts with a PE4/6
it is a six ,please forgive me
got it. that is what confused me
I was going circles
me too...
sorry I am no good with numbers
have all the 8s
wd peri, i just found my 1st one...☻
bl
clue for the tr7/36 please?
I only have 3 7s, and none start with a tr yet
hello, may I have a clue for the tab5/16? the one before the story
I dont have that one yet either, sorry
I have just started, and not halfway through yet
got it lbd... ta + *** in the oven
finally greyed out my first tile. the top o :)j
wtg Lisa!!
any clues for the le 8 please?
If a friend asks for a loan, make sure that your le8 money doesn't need to be paid back right away
thank you!
that was my last l word. Now a i have a few grey tiles and over halfway done :)
Its a tougher grid for me today lol
The ta5/16 is ta + another word for roll
Just logged on--feast or famine these days in Babbleland.
Hi Jan. Crumbs or a five course meal. : D
Indeed...and the days when I have time for a biggie, we get the mini-grids and vice versa, it seems!
How are you and your husband doing?
tr7/36.....clue please
We're doing fine--bored, but it is finally turning into summer here, so we can sit outside a bit.
nvm
In Britain, they are calling high risk people who have to isolate themselves "cocooners." I like that!
Maybe we will turn into butterflies when all this is over!
I still wonder if people who consider themselves high risk will ever be able to go back to life the way it was before this.
And turning into butterflies sounds nice : D
ta 5/16?
Clued at 4:33
ty Molly!
hello all....
Hello Pen (not lurking)
Note: That is a joke to Pen, who often says hello to the lurkers
hi molly....i do my share of lurking....mostly in the mornings.....
Good time to lurk
I like to just type away on a new grid....i just go systematically around the grid and type what words i see....
<---trying to figure out what systematically typing around the grid is
i start i one corner and move around the grid typing words as i go....
It helps to turn the chat off if you like to find words on your own. I do that if I am up at the flip.
i have done that before....but most of the time i just ignore it for a while....
hello friends
hi trif...
hello!
just reading back through the chog.....I guess I am a 'Cocooner" as well!
still waiting on test results.....ugh
for the virus?
yup
how are you feeling?
fine. i'll fall over in shock if i am positive.
well i am happy to hear that you are feeling ok...
thank you. babble is sometimes an actual mental health saver
for sure....in more ways than one....
evening all! so disappointed that pendula is not the plural of pendulum
hello dan2!
that would be a good plural....
Trif! been a while
hi dan...
i can't babble at work anymore....being ab4 to babble again during the day has been a pleasure
so lets see, dan, you have, I think, 6 children these days? lol
hehe - just the one, but she turned TEN in May
*faint*
I can't believe how long I have been babbling....
same
Good morning all :)
good morning lizlin.
hi liz....
Hope you've all had good day.
good enough.
is the t in the bottom row a tw?
ok, here....survived grocery shopping....
No - both tu from my memory.
I guess no one has very many exciting days at the moment :( Surviving from one to the next is good though.
thank you.
I've greyed that tile and no tw words.
da 6/27 - well, that's a dodgy plural.
plurals are my achilles heel
i have two left and they are both T words....
Too many words which can be spelt in 2 directions - I've also missed quite a few plurals.
just one now...
WTG Pen. 36 left here.
FINALLY shifted the lower t! whew!
WTG!
the word i have left isa TU word...
I have all of them. Can clue (or try to) if you'd like.
Pen, is it the tu7?
yes...
A clue for tr 7/36 pls
just found it...i am done....
Congrats, pen
ty....
worth attempting...
huzzah for penquis!
Thanks.
tr7/36...three prefix + Cain's brother
Thanks again - didn't try that. Just didn't look right.
ty, trif...
Oh, Pen already clued it. Sorry.
I appreciated both and they both worked for me.
no problem....it just came to me out of the blue....
Turns out it was totally tr7, Lizlin!
:) Sure was!
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
Have a good evening.
you, too....bye!
good night penquis

Hi folks
hello origami
Hi there, Tor
Still feeling good, Trif?
for such a big grid, I don't seem to be getting very far. crawling to halfway
feeling just fine, origami
Good news!
Heyas Trifs, ori ..
I doubt I will finish this one. Played a while this morning and still have 140 left.
funny how tough it is
Stalling out with 90 yo go ..
I had a nice, properly distanced and face-masked visit from a friend on my patio yesterday. I served good tea, kumquats and palmieres. It felt like I was throwing a party :D So good to see someone.
good for you, origami!
Living alone during this is difficult.
flag on the play -- "bralette" is 100% a word. My daughters fought over them for YEARS
:D
this grid is making me feel stupid
Right there with you, Trif.
i made it to halfway and nbt, so there's that....
There's that. I'm missing the 9.
Well, I'm letting this one rest, kids. I'm going to go paint. I'll see y'all.
Quitter!! 😂
Hello to my fellow babblers!How's everyone doing today?
Actually I almost gave up on this one too. Not in the mood today
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!Way to go
Hi minver
Hello rururocks! How are you? I am also a quitter. I have up on the grid at 7:40 tonight. I am also not in the mood.

For those who haven't given up on grid,I just posted story

I love your stories Min
Thank you periwinkle!I did not really write a story today.
It is more of a blog or opinion piece, but has lots of clues
Quitter, I am. You know the grid is bad when I choose to paint spools of thread and thimbles for a friend rather than finish :D Have a good evening all.
