Good Morning, Babbleland.
morning bzz tho' its afternoon here!
Ah, there is a wee buzzin' Bea among us : D
thoughts : If there are caiman why isnt a group called caimen?
Not sure I'm too buzzy today...
*Pours Bea some high octane coffee
It was a crazy day yesterday. Hoping today will be much slower.
Sounds like a good day for some zen time in the sewing room.
Yes, but there are two gallons of blueberries in the kitchen...
Damn, where are the jam elves when you need them?
Right?
I think my friend who has a small farm in Pennsylvania has the right idea. When the tomatoes are at their peak, she has a "sauce making party". Everyone who comes and helps goes home with jars of sauce.
That would be fun. Someone else picked these blueberries, so I'm happy to just have to put them up. It's not that big of an endevour, just time consuming.
It has been a week of excess. Tuesday, I helped Mr. Bea spread 2.5 TONS of mulch on our yard...
Wow, The Bea's don't mess around when it comes to outdoor work.
It was hot out there too. He wants to get two more tons, but I told him to wait until Sept.
Omg Bea! Can't imagine...... yesterday we had a heat index of 100!!
It has been weeks of over 90 degrees here. I have forgotten what "fresh air" is like.
We had a beautiful few days. But, this weekend it will be beastly
There are five ceiling fans waiting to be installed on out front porch...Wonder if that will happen today?
Oh my, you folks stay busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest.
Too busy sometimes...
an7/36 has just become one of my favorite words : D
Yes, it is a great word...
So many fun ways to use it : D
An 7 36 any clues please
The state of being an4/4
My last word was fa7/40...Time to hit the kitchen...
hi/bye, bea!
Bea be jammin', yeah
just making up legit L words all over the place here.
speaking of latin (in the grid), I found some stuff in my guest closet that was my grandmother's. there were 2 old books that I'd never really looked at before. one was beginning latin, c 1919.
1st chapter or intro was why american students need to take latin :D
How cool!!
wait
she had written her name & school in the inside and the year (1926 when she was 16). also found a note written sideways in the margin from 1932, like a journal entry.
guess they didn't have paper or journals
the other book was Little Nell by Charles Dickens. could not find a year on that but I'm sure it was around the same time.
This is the kind of cool stuff that will not happen to people in the future, with the advent of digital books.
very true
And old letters. I have a box of letters my parents sent each other when my Dad was stationed overseas. Priceless.
but I love my kindle. I actually was thinking I'd like to read that Little Nell but didn't want to breathe in all that dust and would have to wear readers. LOL.
I love the smell of old books.
my kids seemed impressed with the books
hey! finished one S tile
and the N! :D
quiz for the scholars: name word for ancient greek kings in the grid
not a scholar :(
or the nerds, since I'm not a scholar either :)
well I am a nerd in most circles but I guess not nerdy enough
right hokie, amended to a specific subcategory of nerd: classics nerd
:D well, i have made halfway on each tile except the vowels. having trouble seeing those today. actually do have half of each A, it's the others giving me trouble today.
I still have no 7s
same
I just started reading the chat at the flip and so far people have only called 6's.
ohh I found one
I'm still struggling with some of these 6's
got a 7 too!
Um, look again. 7's have been called.
still looking! I said only 6s at the beginning of the chat.
have found 2 as I read further down
I thought 12:08 was the beginning of chat
12:04
Uh, the beginning of chat, as in the first few minutes.
first few lines
there are 8 6's called before a 7, so I was looking for those when I made the statement below
I found one of the 7s by mistyping a 6 - always nice when that happens!
unfortunately I don't see words immediately when I know they exist
I keep seeing that bottom M as an N
agreed, wendrie, always a bonus!
Good morning everyone. How is the grid today?
a little tough
found 20 for a start, back to work before the boss comes in. hehe
i found 5 sevens right away so far
well actually found all seven of them.. just sayin'
well, you're super word nerd :D
see my first 9:01 post
that's deeply profound homie
that's me :D
51 left three letters to go
I have 38 left and only 5 gray (not counting the 0s)
35 now. put some shoes on and now the dog thinks we're going for a walk. so I guess we're going for a walk. TTFN.
8 now
have a good day folks
all the crazy bablets are slowly coming back to me.
as easy as riding a bike
through wet ce6
lol
:D
middle E?
i don't have it
or right E for that matter
good morning all
This grid is a lot tougher than the last two days, for me anyway
Morning Nan
em 6-7 for the middle e
don't have any of the e's hurshy
hi all. help witheither i pls
sorry the em 6 is from the middle and the em 7 is from the right
en 5 also from the middle
ty nan, got them both
the i is ic6
ty nan
thanks nan
need help with other i pls and the corner O
yw
What's the other i, though?
the fast lane at the supermarket has a limit to the number of it4s you can have
Oo 6/7
D'OH
Ty hurshy
ty for oo words
ty hursh
here's a free clue: a prayer for Owen Me5
how about one for the oo's? pls
it is an arctic first nations boat
I keep trying words I entered last night -- think it is time to head for the list
ha, the boss just walked in and handed paperwork and looked at the screen then walked back out
ah, used to seeing it spelled with a u. ty
the oo words are boats used by inuits
sometimes spelled with a U rather than oo
what is husrshy? - thought the inuit used a kayak
it's a kayak for more than one person i believe
yeah it's like a kayak but bigger
and it's a word that doesn't really get used outside of the Inuit context
Remember back when you could say eskimo? Poor Eskimo Pies. They are going the way of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.
Useless trivia...the original name for Eskimo Pies was I-Scream Bars.
Eskimo to the Inuit is like the n word to blacks. It has a very derogatory meaning to them.
Yes, I am aware of that.
back from the walk - 87F, feels like 96. and it's not noon yet.
yes -- we are in the middle of a heat wave too
we did have a downpour the other day - 2.25" rain in about 30 minutes. our street flooded which then flooded our yard.
posted an article from the London Times that someone sent me in my profile -- enough to make one pause -- just wish the people who need to did read it -- I hae me doots though!
have seen that before :D
what is my missing L?
I've seen it before too... but couldn't be more true than it is today
stuck on those an 7's -- any clues please?
I only have 2
I think you have the oo, my other is om
I'm missing an la 6/30
will look, I only have la6/18x2
think napa valley
anyone have the an 7's?
and that was my missing L, thx
I tried antilaw several times, but no good
for the la 6? only thing I know about napa is that there a lot of vineyards and some great restaurants
what do they make at vineyards?
An7/32...... Weak blood
Not in vineyards!! LOL
ugh, freaking british extra vowels, thx, une
I hope they make wine
Yw :-)
Em7.....used to treat dysentery
ding ding + PB, nan
ty for the 7/32
sti ll don'e see what wi 4 in napa has to do with la 6? ^nod to hurshy - make mine a gewertz please
la6/30 = la + wi4, there you go, 2/3 of the word ;)
clue for an7,36 plz
Spelled it right out
ty -- sorry to be so dense -- don't think I've ever seen that before
no def, of course
2 7's left: an 7/36 and ce 7/36 ?
found the ce - another new one
Clue please, Nan?
and another with no def.
add a vowel to the concrete
Tx!!
Fa7/40?
I'm having trouble with the dysentery treatment, and yes, I googled.
fa7/40 - compound word
I've got nothing but Os left, sigh
fa 7: siamese fighting fish, angel fish, turkeys and peacocks all have them
and shrimp.
yep
The em7 ends in fork prong
an 7/36 please?
ty molly and nan
thank you, could only think emetic, which is not there
Hokie....ends in ti4/4
any clue for the an7,36?
The quality of being like the an4 before it
where is it on the list, haha
Oh crap, now I'm practically spelling out the words
ty molly
have tried fa4men and fa4net. compounds are so difficult for some reason.
well, I'll consider 25 left a win and go to the list.
wait, I still have 11 4's. looking for those first.
ty Molly
fa7 - three to cool you, four to wag.
*!*~*!* hagd everyone. Need to go and do some problem solving -- have planned an outdoor birthday celebration with 3 other couples for hubby. Have just discoverd that one of the group is not paying much attention to social distancing or masking up and one of the group is in a very vulnerable position with compromising health conditions -- what to do now?
I would think anyone who is that vulnerable would not be doing much socializing these days.
she isn't -- but I would rather the careless one stay home!
Yeah, but the thing is, if you have serious health risk problems should you contract COVID, you can't count on "masks" protecting you.
ty Haz, logged on to find your great clue. Hi all.
Hello, Aloy.
I have no patience with people who won't wear a mask when it is so important to protect others and stop the spread of the virus
I guess the acai berry is proper
Then don't invite the person who doesn't wear a mask.
everyone has already been invited, molly
or it wasn't on the list makers' radar back in 2000, aloy
send out a note, due to the vulnerability of guest health, masks are mandatory, no exceptions, thank you
true, hokie
this is a group of long time friends who have not been able to get together for 4 months because of the virus situation.
Excellent suggestion Bonkler
may have to do that bonkler
Nan, I know you don't believe it, and I'm not saying I believe it...but there are people who don't think masks do anything to protect you or others.
kind of hard to serve drinks and hors d'ouvres though
one of my friends doesn't believe they do anything but she still wears them at least.
thinking of cake and icing
According to what is being said by health officials, if people are six feet apart, they can bag the masks for eating and drinking.
I know that Molly -- just wonder how much higher the numbers will have to climb before they will start to believe. Just look at the states where they are worn compared to those where they aren't!
Arrange several distinct seating areas, appropriately distanced, with food at each and drinks as well. Limit interaction and definitely require masks to be worn.
well, I found 8 words but still have 7 4's left. going to list for last 17!
I went to a small birthday gathering and everyone received a small paper plate with a serving of cake to take home. masks weren't an issue.
yes, I will make sure the chairs are distanced and plan to make up separate plates for each couple.
omg, can't believe I missed the al's
all good suggestions - thank you. On my way :)
hagd and stay safe.
bye!
hagd, nan
I think people who are that worried that they can't unmask to eat or drink, should just continue to avoid gatherings.
now the peacock clue makes perfect sense
That word is totally associated with shrimp for me
morning all
moo!
hi moo, moo is in the grid
hey hoke, happy Friday
is it Friday?
hey aloy, happy friday to you too
lol, thought yesterday was Fri
yes, for much of the world. I believe currently the transition point is probably somewhere near Pakistan
have 1 w left
2 w's left here
mine is a 6 if you can help
1 w left
mine also then must be a six
same here but haven't listed yet
I haven't listed yet either ;)
it's a lot of points, so I should be able to figure it out
I listed already ;)
found
if I had known you were showing up, moo, I would have waited.
sounds like a woman's name
Sorry hard to predict these things...I often have more calls in the morning
thx, I tried one that looked like li6
23 left
ah so, ty moo
vaguely like that hoke....22 left
both ahead of me, 27 to go here
18 to go...found a couple of groups
I am finished with that one but if anyone wants me to guess what they are missing, I will ;)
love it when that happens
yes, especially late like this
I now have more 7s remaining than 6s...
FTR, ru was here earlier bragging about finding all the 7s easy peasy
heh
if ru can find them, they must be easy ;)
FTR, I guessed one and the rest had to be clued for me
oh, well then they probably aren't easy
I have 3 so far
actually, I guessed 2 after seeing them called at the flip
none of which are particularly common
one is a spelling you should be familiar with (I think), but I always struggle thinking this way
although one is a New Zealand bird, so that helped
didn't see the volcano first time through.. so sad
wherever there's a poker bet, there's a volcano :D
that's always a little tricky for me but if you remember it's a palindrome of a poker bet, that helps you
find one, find them both
which one is the NZ bird?
I'll remember that
the f
and is it a palindrome or an anagram?
in australia they call them wagtails
or specifically willy wagtails
not the exact same species, but closely related
ah, there's another 7, the alternate spelling of the 6
that's the one I was talking about
ah, makes sense....found the 6 relatively late
10 to go
two 4s, two 5s, three 6s and three 7s
Australia always has such cutesy names for things. Usually ending in an O.
fw here, help from the list. Off to try to start a dead battery. See you all next time, ci4 (-:
congrats aloy...not on the dead battery tho
well, think I'll head out too, will come back later to check in again
bye, aloy. good luck with the battery.
bye, moo
From a sampler in the PB...Where there is the volcano, there is the poker bet...where there is the red street sign word, there are the kitchen stove cooking things, where there is a word that means bridge, there are the other kitchen cooking things...where there is gratuities...there is also saliva...
fireworks!!!
Has anyone clued the fa7?
compound word having to do with a type of rear proturberance
I don't think I got that last word right.
Cooling object + what a dog wags
Thanks!
Now Harry is making me think buttnose
what a cute little buttnose
Buttnose! LOL! Sounds like something I would have called my brother back in the day.
I'm wasting time instead of being in the kitchen cleaning up after jammin'. And there are still more berries to deal with tomorrow...Oy Vey!
we are all wasting time in here Bea.
Yes, but I finished the puzzle early this am...
Ah. Making jam takes speed and concentration. You deserve a rest. I am just waisting time because I don't want to start the chores still to do
Slackers
yup. ya got us
I still have a gallon of blueberries to clean...<sigh>
I just freeze them whole and use them as I go but jam is different
We’ll have to Knick name Bea smuckers from here on out
homemade jan tastes so much better.
Schmucker's is more like it. I had a friend ask me if I would make the jam if they picked the blueberries. I din't know they were going to bring me FIVE F'n gallons of blueberries...
how many will you keep for doing it? Take lots
Probably a dozen half pints.
good plan
I already put up 10 half pints.
they make great gifts - hint, hint, wink, wink
It is my friends' and families favorite and I send them out in Christmas packages.
Exactly. Everybody wins.
In a week or two I will start with the peach jam, another big favorite. Also will have to make apple butter this year as that is all gone.
what do you put apple butter on?
please excuse the dangling participle - just in case Jillibus is watching
You probably didn't see the comment I made about distributing 2.5 TONS of mulch throughout my yard on Tuesday. Heat index over 100F...
Apple butter is used the same way as jam/jelly.
Does not sound like it was the right day to do that Bea. Well done
Makes a chilled cocktail reading about mulch and heat I dex
No, but I wasn't going to let Mr. Bea do it alone. He wante to get more for the following day....NO!
Index
Tell him more is too much
Mulch
Wrecked my own joke
How deep did you put it? I can't imagine anything would grow thru 2.5 tons of anything.
LOL! You messed that one up!
Wanted that pun to manure
I mean mature
We have almost an acre of yard and landscaping.
Wow. I have half that and 2 tiny gardens are all i want to play with
Well you have a large barge too
Mr. Bea loves to play in the yard. And now that I have Master Gardener certification, I want to redo it all. =)
and tonnes and tonnes of JUNK
Ru, guess what I have growing in my yard?
Grapes?
Sunflowers?
Zucchini!
Lol
Larry planted three hills of squash. One was zucchini.
Ok. WAter out my nose now
He wants to till up our side yard and plant a garden next spring. Remember that we are on a corner lot in downtown.
We are also going to landscape with blueberry bushes...
lots of hungry people will be hanging around your house
They don't have to hang around. I deliver...
Cindy should deliver for you
good for you Bea.
LMAO!
We had a zoom meeting today. I had taken off my shirt while making jam and was only wearing a camisole.
Quickly ran in a put my shirt back on.
I'm off to feed the hungry people in my house...Bug, it as a pleasure chatting with you.
I think that is the best part of this. You can wear pyjama all day and never worry that someone will just drop by.
bye. We finally got some summer weather here ruru
oh, I had a squash the other day, need to go see if the squirrels got it yet
hello friends
hey trif
hello bugs.
another tricky little grid
I hope your days is going well. I just finished and should be off. My last word was oo 6 an Inuit word
oooh, I see that! thank you!
count for the middle e please?
e6 and e7
thank you. i just cannot see them
the em 7 is from the lone E in the fourth row, the one on the right....the 6 is from the middle E....
thank you penquis. how are you today?
oh yes, my mistake...there's an e5 from the middle
fine, thanks....you?
fine thank you. my ankle is still barking, which is annoying, but every day is a little better. i am SO impatient
It's even harder to be patient right now, I think....sorry about your ankle....
watching cnn -- appalled to see that people are having what they are calling "covid parties" -- trying - TRYING - to get the virus.
also, the white house has now BANNED the CDC from testifying on the matter of when schools should return. WTF????? I cannot understand why they would take that position
because Trump wants all kids back so the employment rate might go up and help him win in November...it's all about reelection.....
Well the second one is easy to explain...
I don't get it. Why are people trying to get the virus? Do they think it will make them immune in the future?
i have to get dinner going....bbl to find my last 40....bye all....
I think that's the general belief Molly...although there's no certainty on that at this point of course
the idiots who are having covid parties
are trying to prove it is bogus. they bet money and the first one to get the virus wins the pot. even though they are so dumb that the whole thing makes no sense.
this is why people hate americans
Americans are not the only people who do stupid things.
ignorance does not have national boundaries
no, of course not, but other nations are managing covid. we have no leadership, and are not
Thank you moolingwa. I am so tired of the America bashing here.
help with 2nd an7 pls
im tired of america being profoundly stupid
Well I think there's also a cultural thing at play here too Trif...one of the things that has made the US successful, is unfortunately a weakness in this instance
ignoring science is completely stupid. Making a virus political is beyond foolish
the freedom that is inherent in the US system, which has allowed creativity and innovation, is a weakness when dealing with a pandemic. In a totalitarian state, it's much easier to impose public measures
hello
amen trif, too bad we have a stupid pres. not leading but mis leading the country
i really dont want to argue this, because the facts are irrefutable. France, germany, ireland, canada, new zealand. NONE of those are totalitarian states. They are places where people had strong leadership, their leader listened to science and put the health of their people ahead of political aspirations, and have death counts WAY lower than ours. Blaming China for it is childish. We have some of the best scientists on earth in the USA - they left a playbook, and scientists and experts weighed in. They were ignored
amen nancy. And look what it has cost, in lives
New Zealand and Iceland are Islands
That is a very good point moolingwa. And one of the reasons that people keep living here, instead of "moving to Canada" like they say they will, is because of the advantages they get here that they would not get elsewhere.
New Zealand shut their borders immediately, they are also governed by a single body which allows for rules to be enforced quickly
is there anything you can't explain away? We FAILED at the covid response, and we are still failing.
Iceland, in addition has only about 250,000 people
im not arguing this with you
Well my point is this Trif...I think even if Hillary Clinton was president, you'd still have people like Greg Abbot (Tx), Ron DeSantis (Fl) and Brian Kemp (Ga) doing the things they're doing
and they would face immediate sanctions and consequences.
The federated structure of government in the US means that you're not going to have a unified response, even if the Federal government is taking the lead
I think it would be near impossible to close the borders on a state, like they have in Australia with respect to Victoria
I live in Fl mool and i disagree about our ass governor. we all had so hopes when he was elected that he might be a decent govern. He is nothing but trumps puppet and is so far up his butt and noone i know cant stand him anymore
Moolingwa, great points, but you are wasting them on deaf ears. To some,Trump is the evil one responsible for all the bad stuff in this country.
can stand him
I am hoping that Dr. Fauci gets Time Magazine's person of the year. THAT would be great. He has worked so hard
oh yes I vote for Fauci trif
not alone, molly. He, and the corrupt, complicit enablers are to blame. Not trump alone
Well Nancy, I certainly had different expectations for DeSantis. I lived down in Miami for around 8 years, and Florida is certainly a special place, but I didn't expect DeSantis to be much more than a shallow thinker
what an absolute NON shock to hear you defending trump. I should have figured that one out long ago.
You think I'm a Trump defender?
no, not you mooling
Oh, sorry...you mean DeSantis
no, I meant mollyL.
well mool, look for the Governor Disasterous to take our numbers up past New York with his horrible non leadership. No face mask order, open everything, etc.
I'm not defending Trump. And I am not a Trump supporter.
I'm sorry Nancy...the choices weren't great in Florida, they seldom are...but he's possibly the least effective governor in the state, Brian Kemp is a close second
uh huh. sure.
Really Trif? Uh huh, sure? Just because I don't think ranting and raving about a terrible President will solve our COVID problems doesn't mean I support Trump. Like I said, I don't and never have.
My tuppenceworth. A rudimentary Google search using the words ‘Trump & Covid’ will throw up links to Trump calling it KungFlu, Trump stuttering over pronunciation of various medications, Trump advocating the ingestiin
Ingestiin of
sooooodle! Thank god!
Ingestion of bleach, Trump assuring his people he is not a doctor.... The man is off his rocker. I said it before & I repeat. He should be done for genocide.
Hey Trif. I know I’ll be slapped down for my views as I am not American, but this gobshite’s policies have global consequences.
not by me, dear one. I was once a very proud american. hope to be one again
im taking a break. hope to be back later
Trif, I wasn’t expecting you to slap me down. And I don’t expect the Babble Police to slap me down until reinforcements arrive. I’m standing by....
I am with you soodle
babble just IS NOT the place it once was. And I am so sad.
trif.. that's just not true.. sorry you feel that way, but it's not true
And here comes the Cavalry......
a bit dramatic aren't we today soodle?
You think, Ru? Slap me down a bit more, why don’t you?
Soodle, you’re fab, you always make me smile and not put off from speaking your mind
you are ridiculous have a great day
Oh Chrissie, I’m sick of the bullying that goes on here. I’m on the ‘naughty list’ and I’m fine with that. I just like to highlight the bullying every now and again.
Good God people, grow up. Others can express a difference of opinion without it being referred to as "bullying" or "being slapped down".
Have you been able to visit famiky
Family yet soodle
I get to see all my 4 grandkids in 2 weeks, can’t wait
But you are the bully Molly. You just always try to turn it round so you’re the victim
Nope, and it’s killing me Chrissie. We facetime daily - but when my son told me the little fella was looking behind the phone to see where Grandma was, my heart almost broke. You lucky lady!! I envy you. Enjoy every single snuggle. 🤗
I will
And I concur with Chrissie’s post @ 6.01
Goodnight Soodle. Hope you get cuddles soon
I'm not trying to be a victim. I am perfectly capable of standing up for myself. I will let you all rave on. Just because some people are fueled my drama, doesn't mean I have to attend the performance. I have better things to do tonight.
Night Chrissie, and thank you. Also, thank you Nancy. It’s nice to get public support. A lot of Babblers are afraid of incurring the wrath of Molly
for what it's worth, and it's been years since i've put my two cents' worth into a fray, but what i think is that (1) it's not america-bashing, it's trump bashing, (2) if you say you have never and will never support trump, i challenge that you did support him when you refused to cast a ballot last election because you didn't "like" any of the candidates, and (3) if trump isn't ringing the death knell for the u.s.a., what is that i hear ringing? (for those who don't know me, i am both a canadian and u.s. citizen, american first and always.)
firewords! thanks lickety and all cluers - fa7 compound word was my last
Plus one on everything Welki said. I totally agree.
hey soodlydo! have a bit of trouble again?
The only trouble is Soodle trying to create some. Good night
soodle is NOT the one causing trouble, and we who have our glasses on straight know it. The trouble has ONE cause, and llots and lots and LOTS of us are sick of it
Agreed
There I go again. Creating trouble. Let’s not speak of snarking, or bullying or manipulating the chat. Let’s just blame Soodle.
I don t blame you, at all. Those of us who have been here for a while can mark a clear point when the chog took it's nasty, bullying, snarky turn. And it was NOT the day you started.
And Trif,Lynxx, India, Nancy, Chrissie & are all as crazy as Soodle...
its really too bad. Chog used to be such a lovely place
Trif, my post @ 6.56 was in sarcasm font.
Glad to know I am one of an extremely large group though - even though we don't get to talk with one another anymore
remember when we used to say "the chog can solve any problem!" We used to give each other great advice, swap recipes and book recs, gardening and pet hints....I remember scrabbler giving out great baby advice, jmc with registering to vote help....once we all supported each other. Now its just snark, snark, snark
i do remember. from when i started playing 15 years ago.
hi DC
Hey DC. 🤗
hello, Lyn, trifioso, soodle.
i made a cake from a 1918 recipe and frosted it with Italian meringue buttercream today.
I have a student to tutor. I am glad to walk away. I used to love babble. Now it's so disappointing
Have a bit, with some Constant Comment (a spiced black tea) in the penalty box.
hey Soodle, I'm a bit "crazy" too....just like you ;-)
The photo of your cake is amazing, seain!
why thank you scrabbler
oh yum DC - what was the cake ?
((Diane)) How are you holding up?
Hi Diane ((())). Thinking of you frequently x
Hi, all!
Hi Pam!
I made a half recipe of this, with blueberries and lime: https://www.bartleby.com/87/r1614.html
I am okay, Scrabbler. Life goes on and it is still wonderful, just changed. I miss him so much.
What a major loss, to lose a spouse.
deep sympathy, diane
It leaves a big hole, I admit. 63 years is a long time....we started dating at ages 17 and 19.
Thank you seain.
I am on call and was just called about one of my patients. He probably has lymphoma and will have surgery tomorrow. I have been crying for this boy and his family.
Oh Diane, I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh, sorry to hear that, scrabbler
Virtual hugs Diane. What a huge loss
That is definitely another type of heartbreak....and you deal with it frequently, Scrabbler. :-(
Thank you lynxxx xx
We have had 3 kids diagnosed with cancer in the last 4 months.
those last xx's were on purpose.
oof. that's a lot. Grouped such that environmental causes are possible?
That cake sounds fantastic DC especially with the meringue...I hope there was a special occasion to enjoy it for
Scrabbler, what an incredibly difficult job you have. You are an awesome woman
**group hug** my guess is that we could all use one.
Count me in....
I felt that, welki !
3 very different kinds of cancer, but environmental triggers are likely in cancer.
diane, i was thinking about you - i did my version of golf on wednesday and thursday, would have made you REALLY laugh out loud
From here in Western Washington, love and hugs to all our Babblemates. We have one point of agreement, Babble. Love you all.
Thanks, welki. I might drive up to the children's hospital tomorrow to visit the kid and mother. Only one parent is allowed to stay.
I may not golf much this summer, but will get back in the "swing" next year for sure. Have you been able to go to your "happy place"
scrabs, i know it's not a 'might,' but a 'will' - you're that kind of person/doctor/soul
So sorry to read about your husband. Diane. Condolences to you and your family.xx
Thanks, Lizlin :-)
we're here now, diane - have had nearly two weeks of peace here. do you drive? i could book us a tee time for 9 holes just about any weekend, we have an extra cart, so we can 'distance'
You ladies can have fun!
we've probably passed each other on the road a couple of dozen times over the years, but have yet to meet face to face
(or mask to mask)
I'm not quite ready for that yet, but yes, I do drive . I just bought a 2018 KIA Sportage ( red ). Wally wanted me to have a dependable car with remaining warranty. I would have no problem driving to where you are. Our one daughter and hubby have a permanent spot at Silver Creek, near Camrose....right on the golf course. She calls it her "happy place"
bye for this time, Scrabbler
I need to go to bed and read. I work in the office tomorrow.
when you're ready, you know how to contact me, diane
g'night scrabs
We will meet one day Welki, I will make sure of that. You are only a stone's throw from our son's place.....well, a LONG throw, but not that far.
I don’t play golf. I don’t have a visa for Canada. But, by golly I’d love to be joining you ladies for a good walk wasted following a tiny dimpled ball around a big field with little holes. 🤪
let's make it sooner, rather than later
pssst, i don't play golf either - what i play is locally called 'whack, f**k" - hit the ball and then curse
well, I'm going to have supper and rewind the news back to 6:00 and see what is going on in our world. I hope there's something enlightening!
So sorry, Diane. And Scrabs, that is tough....
but i do have fun
nice to 'see' you, diane
Yes, welki, let's do that !
Thank you pam.
🤗
<-- has always wanted to go flyfishing in ireland

Welki. I live by the banks of the River Boyne. You & your fishing rods would be welcome anytime.
i have always wanted to go to Ireland as well, hopefully sooner than later
there's good fishing on the river boyne, and it's our practice to catch/release - maybe someday
