I feel sorry for kids. What a crappy summer. Pools are closed, no friends to play with.

7:43 am

well I have been sending postcards to kids I know but the thing I noticed is that the kids aren't constantly on the go to soccer and dance and this and that and are able to go out and run around and play and explore with their family.

7:43 am

Well, that is a rose colored view of it. Thanks Merry : D

7:49 am

*curtsy* you're welcome. The neighborhood really does sound more like a neighborhood with the kids racing around on their bikes but not touching instead of going to this formal event or that. I know they get bored but that is part of life too.

7:50 am

most Saturdays before in this neighborhood with more than a dozen kids were like a tomb with everyone off to soccer, etc.

c'mon - remop - you didn't ever want to make your mom have to remop a spot because you walked on it before it was dry

our neighborhood pool is open. they only let in a certain number at a time.

7:51 am

now if their parents would quit talking on their cell phones in the alley next to my windows! hahaha

7:51 am

you tell Enable hokie!

one of my favorite jokes - of course it may trigger someone with domestic violence - the sheriff asked the deputy what happened down at the Smith's house. Dep: Old Mrs. Smith shot her husband for walking on her wet floor! Sher: well, did you arrest her? Dep: no, it was still wet!

Reminds me of another one: A sobbing Ms Murphy approaches Fr O’Grady after mass. He says: “So what’s bothering you?” She replies: “Oh, Father, I’ve terrible news. My husband passed away last night.” The priest says: “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Did he have any last requests?” "Certainly father," she replied. “He said: “Please Mary, put down that damn gun.”

9:19 am

hi nan, hi all.. opening chat to some great clues, ty thereablah

9:19 am

ty therealbiah

9:20 am

was reading the chat and laughing - as someone somewhere said -- opening a pool during a water borne virus pandemic (even to only a few at a time) is like reserving one corner of the pool for peeing in.

9:20 am

eude

9:20 am

oops sorry

9:20 am

nan, it is very sad.

9:20 am

my pool is open only for me :D

9:20 am

wish i had a pool to myself now. never wanted my own before.

9:21 am

i was a life guard and fear swimming without someone nearby. had a good friend who drowned from a massive heart attack while swimming. so i always want someone on the side to watch me. i used to do half a mile a day. miss it terribly.

9:22 am

we had a pool when the kids were at home -- a great benefit then. Don't think I would want one now that I am the only one using it -- they really are holes in the ground you pour money into.

9:22 am

any clues for E bottom corner? ty

9:23 am

i took my kids to the pool every afternoon from 3 to 5 pm and they all are good swimmers.

9:23 am

mine isn't that expensive.. $135 per month nan

9:23 am

including maintenance, electricity and water bill?

9:24 am

you have a pool service, ru?

9:24 am

we just did a 30 person family reunion in the pocono mountains at the majestic hilltop mansion with own pool. all but the 2 month old swam and had a ball for 3 days. i dont fear corona because my hubby had it all of may and i didnt get it.

9:24 am

it has a retractible cover and it's solar heated only.. my water bill doesn't change much at all.. i just pay $135 for servicing and cleaning

9:24 am

that doesn't protect everyone else in your family, mkg

9:24 am

Oh I forgot. This group is anti-fireworks

9:25 am

my yard is all trees and woodsy so dont want a pool.

9:25 am

I love fireworks

9:25 am

nan i agree. but he is negative now.

9:25 am

well.. fireworks here molly are huge explosions and idiots drinking and shooting their guns in the air

9:26 am

So now COVID Is water-borne?

9:26 am

sorry mkg I don't have that e eihter

9:26 am

oh -- up here it cost us that much just for chemicals, then the sewage bill was based on water consumption, it takes electricity to run the pump constantly and gas to heat it for 2 of the 4 months it was open.

9:26 am

that e has eluded me too

9:26 am

always has been molly

9:27 am

I don't have it but apparently its a ep9

9:28 am

17 new cases were reported in the news this week that were a result of one small family reunion.

9:29 am

that was in texas I think nan.. what a bunch of idiots

9:29 am

"There’s no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread through drinking water or use of pools or hot tubs, according to the CDC."

9:29 am

the point is molly that there is no real social distancing in pools either.

9:30 am

the danger is poolside, not in the pool....

9:30 am

agreed cyber

9:31 am

Anyone that thinks this disease is going away should just tune in to the news ans have a good look at what is happening in most of the states, Ontario and Quebec.

9:31 am

Well, since we are all now accustomed to six feet apart, what is the danger in pool side?

9:31 am

look at the videos....people don't stay 6 feet apart, especially kids and teens.....

9:32 am

I wish people would stay 6 feet apart but they don't.

9:32 am

cyber I heard a while back that its not going away for a while.. its going into the fall months too

9:32 am

I guess we are all doomed to a life of hermit living then. Sad.

9:32 am

true pen

9:32 am

*Sorry Merry

9:33 am

I'm getting my haircut though in July..that's a plus for me

9:33 am

jmc I just wsh people would put their masks on stay away from each other unless you have to do things like grocery shopping .. EVERYONE needs to stay home

9:34 am

My son is getting a haircut this weekend. He is glad about that.

9:34 am

Ditto MLF!!

9:34 am

ty hello une

9:35 am

got mine cut last Sunday...only me and the hair stylist there....wearing masks....

9:35 am

mlf - longer than that -- it wil still be an epidemic a year from now if people don't smarten up and be more mindful of what they are doing. A lot of young people think they are invincible -- that they either won't get it or won't get it or won't die from it. They don't think about the infants or the older population and they obviously don't realize that the median age for people being hospitalized from covid is now 40, 60 or 70.

9:35 am

that's good pen

9:36 am

not 60 or 70

9:37 am

true cyber but when this first started that was the nearest future of when it will continue.. I had heard 20s 30s besides those above the age of 60 or so

9:37 am

ish lol

9:37 am

does anyone have the ep9?

9:38 am

i do

9:38 am

clue pls ruru/

9:38 am

?

9:38 am

it's a biological term relating to May Flies

well that's helpful :P

9:39 am

of course! I study may flies in my spare time...a hobby during the pandemic....

9:40 am

would you like a different clue?

9:40 am

ty ru, had the wrong ending..

9:40 am

the word I found in google isn't in the grid

9:40 am

but its close

9:41 am

sharing hot onion bagels with pimiento cheese spread

no I already have it. just giving you an eyeroll :)

9:41 am

mayflies in an order with a very short lifespan, ergo the name

ahh...here and gone...

9:42 am

yes, indeed

9:42 am

they have sex in a hurry

9:42 am

lol, they sure do

9:43 am

MLF....change the ending to not ego or superego....

9:43 am

got it

9:43 am

I would like a different clue please -- not being an entomologist

9:43 am

last column o mine is blank

9:43 am

ty pen I used google and morewords and found it

9:44 am

may I have a bagel without the spread, snuffy?

cyber think of a word for something that lasts a very short time, like fashion trends, and change the ending to not ego or superego

9:46 am

you got it, jmc.. one naked bagel

oc 5/14 - an eye or a circular opening

9:46 am

got it -- the short lived clue did it

9:46 am

ty ru -- and blah

9:46 am

mmmm that goes well with the PB coffee

yw

9:47 am

sipping Seattle's Best here

9:47 am

Seattle's best isn't really the best of Seattle aloy

9:48 am

I drink a DC brand--Swings.

9:48 am

going to list with 22 left: educate me, ru.. what is?

9:48 am

The coffee I have is Embassy Row

9:49 am

The roast that is

9:49 am

Donut shop here Walmart store brand

9:49 am

getting note pad ready..

9:49 am

I am still not getting the oc word?

9:50 am

I think coffee is best iced and loaded with sugar, whipped cream and chocolate shavings :)

9:50 am

I like supporting local businesses.

9:51 am

fulcrum coffee in seattle is the best I've found.. there was another place that began with a T (italian sounding) but they went out of biz.. the coffee was perfect there too

9:51 am

haha I like Irish coffee (sans sugar) with whipcream but the rest of my coffee whether hot or iced is black with no sugar

9:51 am

i like coffee black

9:52 am

i used to work in seattle every month for many years

9:52 am

* I'll just go and sit in the corner where I can enjoy my Murchie's tea...

9:52 am

what kind of tea cyber? black?

9:53 am

my favourite is their Earl Grey, but they also have a darjeeling blend that I like.

i'll join you cyber (virtually) as i enjoy my twinings irish breakfast tea

9:54 am

and yes - black as opposed to green

9:54 am

that is a black tea right blah?

9:54 am

i think that is what most teas are unless it actually says so

yes, black tea. But I also like green tea and herbal tea in the afternoon.

9:55 am

how are you on biscuits with it therea?

9:55 am

i have had a green tea frappucino from Starbucks and i have heard actual green tea is a bit sour/

9:55 am

Irish Breakfast has a strong bitter taste to my palate -- at least Twinnings does -- haven't tried the MUrchie's blend of it.

9:57 am

Twinning teas are supposed to be some of the best so i have heard

9:58 am

Not sure where you are located, blah, but Murchies does ship all over the place and is not overly expensive. If you are a tea lover, I encourage you to check out their website. I usually order 4 boxes of 100 bags at a time --- they come packaged in a foil pouch inside each box, so the tea stays fresh.

9:58 am

I love Twinning tea. I make a mix of double bergarot (sp) Earl Grey and green tea and keep it in the ice box all summer long

9:58 am

Man it's been a long time since I heard someone use the term ice box.

9:59 am

I think Murchies is to Twinning what Seattles Best is to Nabob

mmm biscuits yum

9:59 am

jmc how did you come up with the combination of those two teas together?

10:01 am

i'm in Dallas TX and I order the twinings from amazon, but I will check Murchies

10:02 am

(and btw i'm not one of the TX idiots ru refered to...facemask and distance at all times.)

10:03 am

not texas in general therea.. just that stupid family what were they thinking?

10:03 am

blah their is a company in tx that makes purple tea

10:03 am

there was a story in the paper yesterday about an infected person who went to a gathering, infected 7 more people and they in turn infected 10 more, including their 80 yr old parents and a sister with breast cancer...those are idiots

10:04 am

yeah that

10:04 am

good for you blah

10:04 am

my words exactly - what were they thinking?

10:05 am

Did the person know they were infected?

10:05 am

just went to have a peek - they ship world wide: https://www.murchies.com/store

10:05 am

and one of their grandparents is in the hospital now i read

10:05 am

yes, that is the question. Incable ot thinking

10:05 am

i'm sure that's a medical expense they could do without

10:06 am

both grandparents i think

10:06 am

I don't know Molly, but that's the point of not having gatherings.

10:07 am

you may not know and still get many others ill

10:07 am

10:07 am

10:32 am

what you do in charades hursh

10:32 am

but 40% of them have a history of domestic violence, so there is that...

10:33 am

hurshy that's what ti thought

10:33 am

i had to thesaurus synonyms for mime, lol

10:35 am

i mean it's got to be etymologically closely related though

10:37 am

i didn't find anything for it hurshy

10:37 am

it's more like to copy or imitate rather than simply to mime

10:39 am

splitting hairs on the nuances of these words i guess

10:43 am

phantom: medium

10:44 am

and meme

10:44 am

hi bichon

10:44 am

well, that's there, it's not a phantom. it just doesn't count :)

10:46 am

why did i think "culp" was a word?

10:47 am

because you wanted it to be?

10:47 am

"I Spy" Robert Culp

10:47 am

Bill Cosby co-starred

10:47 am

only know i spy as a game, is it a book?

10:47 am

yeah i didn't know about that so that can't be it

10:47 am

TV show of yester year

10:47 am

maybe MLF is right lol

10:48 am

10:56 am

not getting the ep 9 at all.

10:56 am

darn

10:57 am

ep9 i usually see with the ending -al rather than the two letters we have here. with the al, it means fleeting, like an echo or a mist

10:57 am

the ending here is an abbreviation for what your driver's license or passport can be called

10:58 am

got it. ty. super clues

10:59 am

Not sure how we get from fleeting to mayfly but whatever, English.

10:59 am

12:01 pm

:D

12:01 pm

The infection rate in our county amongst 20-29 year olds far outstrips the other age brackets

i heard that about other states. seems young folks don't get as sick. which in a way is too bad because of spread.

12:03 pm

right, they're the carriers for the most part

but freankly, there is so much disinformation and contradictory information.

12:04 pm

we have 1313 cases in my county, which seems a lot

12:05 pm

We only have 324,000 people

there is a briefing by the task force doctor tight now. did not turn off the weather in time.

now that the political ad by the vp is over, the doctor is speaking.

help with the bottom E?

12:17 pm

down to 16...

12:17 pm

Young people can actually get quite sick, but they're much less likely to be hospitalized or to die. I've read descriptions, including one man in his early twenties who said it was the most painful thing he's ever experienced, and a young family where all four of them (including two toddlers) were very sick for (I think) a couple of weeks.

12:18 pm

I though ephemeri would work..

12:21 pm

Had to do one in Miami during the summer, which was a two-day affair

yeah, in this latest house I went with a high-end unit, but I do enjoy it being so quiet, and pretty energy-efficient

12:26 pm

46. bbl.

you got someone to go into your attic at this time of year? i am impressed. i've had folks tell me no way.

my attic is only accessible via a hole in the closet. no stairs.

the air handler is up there.

12:27 pm

if you have stairs and lights and vents it is not a huge issue temple.

2:17 pm

Now that a year's worth of holidays is being progressively canceled, I'm wondering about Christmas. Poor Santa. Will he have to wear a mask while delivering gifts? That just doesn't seem right.

2:18 pm

given Santa's magical abilities, I would suspect he has a certain level of immunity

2:20 pm

If we are lucky, maybe Santa will bring a vaccine!

2:29 pm

Ooo, just what I've always wanted. A vaccine for Christmas!!!

2:30 pm

better than a lump of coal

2:33 pm

Who doesn't love to get poked with a sharp object?

2:37 pm

beats the alternative

2:38 pm

besides they may put it on a sugar cube lke they did with the polio vaccine. I still remember going with my whole family to the elementary school auditorium to take the vaccine.

2:39 pm

three dark pink drops on a sugar cube

2:42 pm

ugh hated that

2:43 pm

2:45 pm

I hted the bitterness on the sugar cube!

2:49 pm

I think I must have had them up to 7 or so

2:55 pm

since polio was such a wasteland when I was young the I never noticed the bitterness. Just glad we were all going to be safe.

2:55 pm

1955 about

The two po6/27s are almost the same

3:39 pm

em6 is the plural

3:41 pm

3:51 pm

I have the oc5, what are the stats for the other word from that eastern o?

3:51 pm

I'm 57 and I took the sugar cube. Late to the discussion...

3:55 pm

(backing out of lurking) I am 65 and took the sugar cube, too. I have vivid memories of being in a very long line at the high school to get the sugar cube. There was such excitement in the air about getting it.

3:57 pm

Never mind, got it. Old, tired and busted: monkey typing. The new hawtness: monkey morewording

sugar cube as vaccine delivery? I don't recall anything like that but I don't recall many vaccines when I was a kid even though I had them all.

though I am too young to have a smallpox scar because I didn't get that one

my middle bro doesn't either, but my oldest bro does

what was sugar cube? polio?

4:06 pm

I got mine in some peeps

ooh, marshmallow peeps?

4:10 pm

I Am kidding

what if you had to take it toady being off sugar?

today

yeah, I figured as much :D

4:11 pm

I don’t know. But I am too old to worry about that

I keep wanting to make puh-leez, even though 1) not a real word and b) not actually in the grid.

4:12 pm

1 and b? Is that like A and 2?

I think that was a gag in some movie and I can't remember which, but I always do it.

phantom plumeria

4:14 pm

And phantom plummets

4:20 pm

The sugar cube was fun, since we were little kids. Who doesn't want an excuse to have sugar?

4:20 pm

I would have reached NBT-3, except that me4/6 was a word for the northwest m

I can't find more than 1 of the 2nd col e

4:30 pm

em6/24 is one of them

so easy when you know what to look for, thx

4:34 pm

yw

4:35 pm

the oc5 plz

it's a plural of a singular not in the grid that basically means eye.

5:01 pm

mirs

5:01 pm

sorry!

5:01 pm

Yes, the sugar cube was for polio.

I assume I got it in needle form

my husband and oldest kid (almost 20) would love that. I and the other kid (almost 18) don't mind needles at all.

can anyone spare a clue for hu6/27?

5:11 pm

latin plural of a particular bone

thanks! I saw a mention of a bone earlier but could only think of ulna. now that I knew what that was about, it was easy.

6:00 pm

to not sing + most of Trump's stupid son's name

6:09 pm

Trump's stupid son doesn't really narrow it down

6:09 pm

begins with an E.. the real dumb one

6:19 pm

.. do you mean his stupid son or his stupid son-in-law?

6:21 pm

... Barron is not a stupid kid ....

6:21 pm

ires

6:22 pm

sorry

6:27 pm

Trump has more than one son. And none of Barron is in the grid.

6:29 pm

... but Ivanka's husband at least almost rhymes with ep9/78

6:31 pm

Yes, but Ru was cluing the hu 8

6:31 pm

Sorry hu 6

6:33 pm

*Trying to figure out how Jared Kushner rhymes with ep9

6:45 pm

Jared

6:59 pm

Wait till you hear whats in Mary Trump's book about Kushner. and the Trump storm troopers The wicked are eventually punished. That is the spiritual law of the universe. Evil is ALWAYS punished

7:04 pm

Well, maybe in the afterlife aka. But evil people seem to thrive in this realm.

7:04 pm

I have Mary Trump's book on order :D

7:06 pm

REALLY hate words that have no definition!

7:10 pm

Doesn’t trump have a son named Eric?

7:10 pm

He does, ru.

7:10 pm

Yes, and I thought Eric counted in Babble at one time too. Not today though! (could've been another game...)

7:11 pm

I am reading her book too ori. Then my clue was correct then

7:13 pm

I am looking forward to reading it. A change of pace from the non-fiction book about the history of calculus I am reading off and on :D

7:15 pm

That sounds scintillating ori. Not!

7:20 pm

Erica counts in Babble. I don't know why.

7:21 pm

It's actually really interesting, Ru. But, then again, I am nerdy.

7:22 pm

Ok. It is not on my short list of books to start

7:22 pm

Says the man who reads books about octopi brains :D

7:22 pm

Lol. I deserved that one

7:25 pm

Zing!!!!

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

Wait till saanich reads it

7:28 pm

In all honesty, I did write the title down to get from the library.

7:29 pm

It is a lovely book

7:34 pm

Ooo, octopus brains
