the bo7 held me up for a while
well this grid is dominating me
Sure it did. I bet it was your first word : P
:D
almost
I don't like the sevens to tie me down too long
luckily today they weren't that oppressive
it's actually a really easy grid hokes
I hope no one goes off in a cuff due to this conversation
I guess they'd be on the ropes then
I know it's early for you right now but I woke up at 5am, which is really early for me, so maybe I need this coffee to kick in
Hokes?
Morning, friends.
just like you're molls
I'm trying out different nicknames for hokie
howdy bea
homie, hokes, hokester....
Trying to decide if I want to start this one. Didn't play at all yesterday.
hi bea
She's just a Hokie from Musgokee
please may I have a clue for ai7?
brainless person bilt.. a slang word
Or Muskogee
ty, ruru
a person with a PSI rating
anyone remember jams from the 80s? there is a brand in here. I guess they were more surfing gear.
bzzi wasn't sure either but I am working on it
Bea have you been busy or not feeling well?
Just busy.
I have been called an ai7 a time or two, based purely on my ha4 color
I don't like these 3rd row e's
(tired of blond jokes)
lol hokie
Worked in a garden all day yesterday, then came home and worked in the yard some more.
hoeing around bea?
Have hoe, this hoe will travel...
hokie I am trying to get the lone e right now
ooh, it's black, mlfan
*turns MLF tracker on*
oh thanks ruru
i'm going to go back to bed for a bit..
bye folks
good night
sounds like a good idea
bye ruru
i forced myself out of bed
I read for a while and then had to get up to take the dog out. we are having rain at this campground.
and i almost finished my first cup of coffee
that's no fun hokie
Carla, did you bring your sewing machine?
does anyone have the middle lone e?
no, I really thought about bringing the straight stitch one and mask supplies since everyone is asking for masks again, but making them depresses me so I didn't want to do that on vacation.
mlfan, I gave you a clue at 7:39
I understand your thinking.
ty hokie
I will just read. :D
I haven't been in my sewing room this week. I think today I will work and finish a couple small projects I've started.
i thought it was black too but what i am thinking doesn't work
I was telling mr. homie yesterday on the way here that I have sewed less during the pandemic than regular times.
eb4/6
eb4/6
oh got it
I'm not sure how many grids I have tried hiree in and how many more I will. seems like a legit word but even my spellcheck has it underlined here in the chat.
Spell check underlines a lot of words that Babble takes
i got the 8!
true, but usually it accepts more than enable
yay, MLF :)
well done, mlfan
ty bit
47 left after first pass. and ru said this grid is easy.
My phantom today is negate.
i don't agree
got half of each tile except the 3rd e and the o
yeah, there are a lot of phantoms in that area up there, bea
regent, agent
My brain was pushing for renege, I had to keep telling it no
agenda
I heard a canadian podcaster pronounce that "re-nedge" and had never heard it that way.
Mr. Bea was just telling me our monthlycar insurance premium has been cut in half.
wow
Due to your "elder status"?
Due to not driving.
found 2 of those e's, foiled by backwards letters again
and because so many fewer drivers
good morning everyone
no offense to any "elders" but seems like they would jack up elder drivers insurance.
I have gotten discounts for that, but not an entire drop in my premium.
we get to pay auto insurance for 2 teenage boys. hooray. :(
I think AllState started the reductions of other companies when they started returning premiums to their clients.
howdy nan
My kids had to pay their own insurance if they wanted the privilege of driving. It kept them responsible.
I did too, Molly.
we have their junker car on a separate policy with liability only
Carla, what are you reading?
I'm reading Little Fires Everywhere.
I am reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January and loving it.
Sounds interesting, Molly.
I'm just reading these cozy mystery series on kindle unlimited
I think it's amusing that he4 and bo4 are in the same grid. Party on dudes.
I'm going to go get ready to head to the Farmer's Market. Taking my digital with zoom. There were some mating goldfinches out there yesterday. They were eating from the purple verbena. The colors were stunning.
Ooo, sounds like good photography fodder Bea. Hope you get some good shots.
sounds nice
I got a great one of a little rabbit the other night.
bzz Little Fires Everywhere i have heard is a very good book
hi MLF
I watched the show. Bea, let me know if the book is better.
did you all read the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy? I really liked those.
and what was that other show Reese was on (HBO I think) that was based on a book? I liked the book but quit the show when they changed a major character thing.
Big Little Lies - I knew it had little in it too
ooh, just finished the A, bea!
just found some weird 4's but still have 10 left! 29 total words. I guess I'll take the dog for a run/walk. TTFN.
be 6/30 please?
i don't know but now I'm seeing phantom bodega

TY, Carla.

good clue hokiie!
and the 8 now is alluding me.
great clue
sorry, i have fat fingers today, and don't have my glasses on
ta7 is past tense of a noun, which I hate
fanthom urchin
8 is pretty easy - en8 - to put in harm's way
ty carla. great clue. got it.
TY, CArla.
Phantom: tanager. (A bird)
so there is a noun that is ta 5 or 6?
still need 5 c's and 6 h's. where are those words? also have several other tiles open but am closer to them.
i tried that too, scrabbler! also cherub
Ta5, is a no no
There is an Re7 - to have started something again. And hi evertone. 🤗
SOOOOOODLE!!!!!!
Hello over there, Soodle. How are you?
carla there is a set of H6 legalese words by adding prepositions to "this place"
ty! got it. keep forgetting that T on left side. ty
TRIF!!! Many hugs.
hiya Scrabs & soodle & Trif and everyone
SO WISH I was coming your way!
thanks, dan, thought about that earlier but couldn't look up
hello dan 2
TY, Dan.
Hu Scrabbs. All well here. Emerging from lockdown gradually. Pubs reopening on Monday!
or down
Hey Dan
i cannot imagine ireland with out pubs
lol
It’s been weird. But EVERYTHING about this pandemic has been weird.
Yeah. Check out our president...
Yes, very surreal, and not over. I am a school MD for 2 local districts and the nurses want advice from me.
i remember someone gave us driving directions in Ireland - "You will come to a town with a church, a gas station, and a pub...." we promptly told him he was going to have to be a BIT more specific
Yes, bojazz, no leadership, and worse, incorrect advice.
Ha ha ha, Trif. For sure.
That man should be done for genocide.
a few acts of treason as well
"no lives matter"
Not true. Only his life matters.
How are you and yours, Trif?
by the way, watched an amazing video: go to you tube: put in the truth about the confederacy, Jeffrey Robinson. It was over a hour and was amazing.
good day. i am watching the cooking shows. i will be ravenous shortly.
Hi Owl
mixed bag, soodle. physically everyone is healthy, and that is a good, good thing.
i only got one he 6 from the clue below, legal term. are there others?
how is your not-so-wee-anymore laddie?
i am reading the mc cullough bio of john adams.
Have stopped watching cooking shows. Must lose weight.
wow, TO that sounds like a committment!
i love joanne weir. she made tomato bread pudding. it looked fab
~~~wailing——- I don’t know. Ihaven’t seen him since January
ughhhhhh - agony!
not even facetime?
just relooked: it is called The Truth about the Confederacy full version. do listen. i learned a lot.
Debating if a should prepare and give a piano recital for a socially distanced audience.
Lol. I’m not too badly off. Facetime every day
it is a great book. takes a long time to read, lots to digest. but some issues are same as today. and some quotes are perfectly applicable.
scrabbler i bet you would love that pudding. so easy.
an all san marzano tomato show today.
mixi, please do -- people are gasping to hear some live music. I know i am
musikfest and the levitee pavillion have goe virtual, as has the caju zydeco community. music all the time.
I would swop a private concert with all my favorite musicians for a haircut.
We normally do piano duets, but this would be just me limited to 20 in the audience. We usually have 50 to60.
and the last recipe is tomato tartare. lovely.
i turned down a hair appointment this week. enjoying my long wild and free hair.
any clues for the e middle of grid? ty
It would more classical. I picked ou a program yesterday. And it is in July.
Owl, a few days ago I watched an Italian video of women creating San Marzano tomato paste.
joanne is in emilio romagno with san marzano growers. the tomatoes go in the can within 24 hours.
Do it, mixi. What a tr5 for the audience. Wear a mask.
i know you do not care to cook but i think you would do these recipes. the tomato tartare has dices tomatoes, capers, parsley....none of the reipces have onions.
have to run - going to pick up my MIL for lunch - haven't seen her since I think november! she was in florida, came back two weeks ago, just out of quarantine.
I just got a mask, that matches my piano music dress.
take care all
i will try the tomato bread pudding, if the groundhog leaves me any.
Bye, Trif.
Nice, mixi.
bye trif
Would not be able to visit my mother in law after.
xoxo
i bought a leopared and a camo mask.
they stretch and are washable. prety comfortable. the dust masks make me cough, i wonder why?
Bye Trif. Take care.
Maybe there is a chemical in those masks.
why do you say that?
C’s crunched.
Some of the commercial masks, not made of cloth, likely have some chemicals.
anyone have the e word for e center of grid? 3rd row, 3rd column? ty
they are woven fiber, paper like.
nevermind. got it. ty anyway
but i find myself coughing a lot lately.
I wear a N95 mask at work until I cannot stand it, because it is hard to breathe with the thick layers.
they are awful to wear.
owl, maybe you have corona, a mildcase?
Yes, but they protect me the most. Every encounter with a patient and parent scares me.
yes. i am out more but with precautions, and low traffic times. it is getting more normal now that we turned green. the food store was empty.
I found 70 and that is enough. See you tomorrow.
bye, scrabbler.
You are one of our heros, Scrabs
No, bichon, the ER and ICU nurses and docs, and the EMTs are heroes.
AMEN!!!
Also those who have to clean Covid areas.
be 6/30, pls
what a guillotine does, bichon
Ann Boleyn was be6
ty mixi dan
the discussions around heroism bring up very interesting questions. some reject that label, saying that some people are merely trapped victims, being sacrificed. for instance, if you worked at Wal-Mart and are "essential", you likely just have to keep working, because if you quit voluntarily, you're not eligible for unemployment benefits. (and because of a COVID bump in those benefits, some workers have been taking home less than the unemployed!) but then one pauses to think about wars. many have relied on soldiers who are drafted. not easy to get out of that unless you were rich (same as here - the poor are suffering disproportionately). and if you were a soldier who tried to run away, they'd shoot you! yet in general, the foot soldiers of WWI and WWII, for example, are considered "heroes". should a lack of choice preclude the use of that term? should it only be applied to those who WANT to take risks to help others? or can you be both a hero and an unwilling sacrificial victim?
good food for thought...
wow. thats something to think about
I think so hurshy.
my dad was shot in WW1. he was shot in the back of the leg so we all reckoned that meant he was running away!!! Not a hero!! (he was a hero to me tho')
maybe it was "friendly fire" (horrid phrase) from a fellow soldier who was behind him and had poor aim... ? lol
Or got caught in front of the other side?
idk how they even knew WHAT was happening amid all the chaos really
is an arborist, deciding which tr4s to tend to first, performing tr4age? :D
no pun lovers around i guess lol
You're out on a limb with that one.
:D
perhaps i've gone barking mad
A sap like me enjoys puns
wood you like to come up with more?
I leaf more sophisticated humor to others
aw, come on, i think you should branch out
there's much to grain from puns
and we can run rings around each other coming up with them
KT ,,,here's one....I told my luggage yesterday that we weren't going to be traveling anywhere for a while. They got very upset,,,Now I am carrying around all this emotional baggage.
lol
hilarious

big bird? i don't have a big bird
i once had two small birds

re 7?
nm
I'm stuck on re7/44 too
start over
re + be 5
I've heard it used in Russia Molly
oh if those videos could come out during the election.. that would be true justice
hi all 33 left
I have been playing Babble since 6/2004. That is a long time
almost twenty years soon peri.. you're my hero
♪♫Did Peri ever know that she's your hero ♪♫ She's everything you would like to be ♫♪And you could fly higher than an eagle ♫♪If she were the wind beneath your wings♪♫
volleymom was the person who pointed me out to babble when another word game we used to play burned out
so you have Dee to blame for me being here :D
I miss Dee. I'm sorry the constant political bashing here drove her away. Tell her I said hi if you here from her.
Yeesh, or hear from her
I unfortunately don't have her email address. But last I checked she was doing fine.
I just got an email from Amazon Prime to renew my membership (i don't have one) i know it's serious because it is from Costumer Care
Glad to hear (got it right this time) that she is doing fine. Dee is golden.
Tell them you don't want to renew, but you are looking for a bad ass Halloween costume. Do they care?
have you ever seen the James Vetch (sp?) (comedian) things on you tube where he responds to spam stuff and harasses them back? it's hilarious stuff
Re6/24?
I love the "doot-doot-doot" in this song by Roger Miller, "**** me, **** me, they oughta take a rope and hang me"
prepare a trap again Une
As opposed to money you get back from a purchase
yes, an homonym ☺
bbl
NBT-1
People who play Babble use words like homonym and onomatopoeia
Tx Montreal!!
NBT-2
One of my friends' favorite non-words in this grid--geriati, referring to us old folks in the collective sense, as in "The geriati thinks that no decent music has been made since 1979."
It is a beautiful thing about the Babble community that people allow other people to pursue patterns that they like, in the manner that they like.
De5/20?
Darth, to Luke, "You're controlling your fear, now, use your *****. Only your hatred can destroy me!"
de + ta ta
de + short for see you later
dettfn?
As in what comes before "Blackbird" in the song
Thanks!
Not familiar.....
Pack up all my care and woe, here I go, singing low
Some people might have thought about the blackbird singing in the dead of night
Here I am...
Never would have got the de5.20
Wow, a word dictionary head Bea would not have gotten
There ya go!.
Henry VIII is in the grid...
How was your day, Bea? It's a hot one here, so we got things done early and called it an "inside exercise" day. My boy got his first haircut in 3 months. He is jazzed.
It was a good day. Nothing special. I did not get the goldfinch money shot, but go the shot of momma and papa bluebirds in and out of the box.
I've been in my sewing room this afternoon. Haven't been there all week. It always soothes my soul to be touching fiber.
Sounds like a good day. And that you got some good photo shots.
I had a facetime chat with my 7 year old granddaughter. She got a package from me today. She LOVES slime and is very knowledgeable about the various types of slime. Lots of slime in the box. She was over the moon.
That was the highlight of my day.
I'm sure this proper noun has been called today...The first prime minister of India...
50 left... That's all I got for today. See you all tomorow when I will still be talking to myself...=)
