Hello Rose! How is lockdown treating you?

3:33 am

g'day matty. how you both doing over there? i am in full lockdown. have had cv-19 swabs done, results negative, as a requirement to go in for my routine treatment.

3:34 am

matty, when they announced the second bout of lockdown i lost the plot. couldn't stop crying.

I'm glad you've avoided COVID! Sarah is also in lockdown - Tilly's three months old and doing really well - she's a little chubster!

Big hugs, Rose, from afar

3:35 am

ta matty. and yup, it's official. Tilly is one very cute bub.

I'll have to put a more recent picture up :)

3:36 am

oh, and i'm a Great Aunt now. my niece had her first about the same time as Tilly was born.

CONGRATULATIONS!

3:37 am

thanx honey. it still feels a little weird....loll

I still can't get used to being a Grandma!

I figure at this rate, I'll meet her in person around about the time she goes to high school

3:39 am

well i'm up to number four, with four step-grandchildren, plus two adopted. plus nephews and nieces. the youngest niece calls me aunty granny.loll

Awwww! Your Christmas list must be huge

3:40 am

now see here young lady... as so4 as all this kerfuffle is over, you AND himself had better be on the first available flight.

I absolutely will be!

Jeff's daughter is currently living with us, having broken up from her bf in Sydney and come home (she's 25)

3:41 am

i'll email you the pic of us from last Boxing Day. Don took the pic so he isn't in it. and the latest addition was still unseen.

Oooh - brilliant - and I'll email you Tilly photos back!

3:42 am

how's that gping matty? two hens in the hen house, could be interesting.

She spends most of her time in her room, either working (still for the Australian company!) or doing whatever 25 year olds do in their room. She comes down for dinner, where she's pleasant enough. She has a sweet deal - a dad who is willing to wait on her, her dad's girlfriend who earns most of the money, free meals, free rent, free everything, her dad driving her wherever she wants to go. I suspect she'll never leave

3:43 am

i am also on FB AND i have zoom connected. two avenues we can chat on.

3:44 am

oh, dear. why all the freebies? does she not have an income of her own yet?

Oooooh! Friend me on FB at once!

She absolutely does. But Jeff wouldn't HEAR of asking her to pay anything

3:45 am

under mattygroves or your for real name?

Real name

3:45 am

but that's not good policy, matty. surely Jeff sees that.

3:46 am

okay. after our chat i'll see if i can find you

3:48 am

sent you a friend request honey.

3:49 am

and back at you...loll

And have accepted!

3:56 am

outta here. i have two friends wanting my attention...loll and both of them overseas.happy babbling y'all. great grid. amusement factor 10/10

Have a great day!

3:57 am

xx matty

Hi all. This is the biggest grid I ever remember seeing. Good luck everyone.

5:06 am

Whoa! Massive grid.

5:14 am

Oh happy day!

5:14 am

Dive in, Champ. There are words everywhere, then add an S.

5:15 am

That looks like a good idea!

5:15 am

Good morning, it's one of those mad typing frenzy grids. For a while at least!

5:16 am

Hi Haz! Yes, I am typing away.

5:16 am

It's invigorating.

5:17 am

Perfect to start my day and get ready for work.

5:19 am

Agree!

5:47 am

I passed halfway. Enjoy the grid and the day.

5:48 am

You too.

5:52 am

fw that was fun!

5:53 am

Congratulations!

5:56 am

Thanks Haz

6:18 am

Halfway and off to feed the dogs! :-)

7:31 am

Good morning, BabblePeeps.

7:31 am

*Looks for chickens*

7:32 am

Could be marshmellows...

7:32 am

Or is it marshmallow...I never remember

7:33 am

Ah, the sugar fix of Easter : D

7:33 am

Now they make them for all occasions.

7:34 am

It's marshmallow, and this I remember due to a movie called The Sandlot, where they talk about making s'mores with "mallows".

7:39 am

hi all. very dark here. some thunder too. going to rain soon

7:39 am

Lucky you!

7:39 am

exactly half way. bbl

7:45 am

We had end of the world storms yesterday and it looks like we get more today.

7:46 am

afternoon :)

7:47 am

Good afternoon, Wendrie.

8:00 am

nice big grid - and my 2pm meeting was cancelled so I've got a bit more time today :)

8:01 am

No rain here - 75F/24C high thin cloud with wisps of blue peeking through.

8:03 am

Sounds lovely! I wish we could get cooler temps.

8:03 am

much cooler today than earlier.

8:25 am

It's a long journey through the s and t words.

8:25 am

senate

8:25 am

wow! gotta get to work on this!

8:26 am

And there is a freebie for you

8:26 am

Molly, that never happens to you

8:27 am

it's the 48 Ps that seem to take forever...

8:28 am

Oh, it happens to everyone

8:28 am

enable seems to arbitrarily dictate when one can put a T at the end of a word to make it past tense. Like senst is not a word, but drest is.

8:34 am

does anyone have a hint for the second ce/6?

8:35 am

Christini - are you still here?

8:35 am

I'm working this afternoon so I can babble a bit this morning!

8:36 am

Wendrie, taken every 10 years in US. This year.

8:57 am

MLF!! how nice to "see" you! it's been a while!

yes, mlfan!!

8:58 am

I started this day off by putting my dress on backwards. A sure sign that it's going to be an "interesting" slog

uh-oh

8:59 am

but was it inside out and backwards?

8:59 am

no, just backwards, so there is THAT

9:03 am

Leo just sneezed. it's so cute

9:04 am

9:14 am

i am REALLY hoping it rains here later today. Only about a 50% chance. My back forty is a dust bowl

9:14 am

taking a break in a few minutes

I literally just started and am on my 2nd letter, so no clues needed yet, but thanks

9:16 am

9:17 am

9:17 am

odd autocorrect

9:17 am

ugh

yep, recuse also

9:18 am

lol just found my DH - st6.18....think Tommy Chong

9:18 am

good morning everyone wow a huge grid! don't know if i will even bother. Trifioso how many goats do you have?

9:19 am

good morning pythonx. Just two

9:19 am

Dwarf Nigerians, 2 years old, rehomed them here in March

9:19 am

vincent and leo? love the names

9:19 am

Vincent Van Goat and Leonardo Di Capricorn, fully

9:19 am

bbl

9:20 am

lol, love it

9:20 am

take care, peri dear

9:20 am

Yes, great names! Next one:. Riviera?

aw, my fave beagle in the grid

9:20 am

I have wanted goats for YEARS - since I was home for so long due to the shutdown, the timing was perfect. Turns out I was RIGHT - these guys have MORE than earned their keep

the place we camped a few weeks ago has goats and I was talking to another camper who told me she talked them into selling her a kid. wish I had somewhere to keep one.

9:22 am

of course there has been a learning curve - they eat LOTS of stuff they shouldn't....but really they are such loves. Think of them as really helpful dogs

9:22 am

An only goat is a lonely goat! They really, really don't do well alone!

9:22 am

And they're so lovable!

well, if I don't have a place for one I certainly don't have a place for two ;)

9:23 am

these big grids are such a tricky thing - when I am grid locked and walk away, I end up reentering stuff.....but it's too big to do all in one go

9:23 am

Years ago one of my mom's caregivers had cutie patootie goats!!

9:24 am

I would love to borrow a couple goats for a while, but I wouldn't want to keep them.

9:24 am

because I wouldn't have anyone to care for them when I am gone

9:24 am

you can rent them, for sure, but wow, does it cost money around here!

when I was a kid, my neighbor had goats on a farm somewhere but he brought 2 kids home and kept them there for a while. so adorable and playful.

9:26 am

its like watching a show that never ends. THese fools try to sit in my lap!

9:26 am

Goats available to rent not too far from here but no idea re price....

9:26 am

$600 a week around here

9:28 am

cracked one 8!

I have somehow found 4 8's

9:29 am

sigh....I can hear my idiot doggo barking his fool head off way up the driveway. I'm too hot to move....

grayed a tile! (so what if it was the upper E)

9:31 am

well done, hokie!

9:31 am

hello...any stats for the Y?

9:32 am

yu 5.18 and 6.30

9:32 am

yu5,18 and yu6,30

9:32 am

ty

9:32 am

and hello phae

9:34 am

the yus are clued lower down

9:36 am

found them...thanks

9:36 am

a clue for the un6 please?

9:36 am

we sort of wave the PB on big grid days, yes?

9:36 am

un + not go

wave at the people in it?

9:37 am

thank you molly

9:37 am

waive

this grid is so big I"m sure it's hard to have a chat without accidentally using words

9:38 am

agreed, hokie, which is why we usually call off the PB on big grid days - was just checking

9:39 am

i have a ton of masks to make today - should really stop when I hit halfway....

9:39 am

secondo is coming up from philly for the weekend, and socially distant visiting is happening - I am SO excited to see her!!!!! She is bringing her new love interest too - first time he will be here

we have to drive to get our motorhome from a repair place - about 2.5 hrs. round trip. probably won't be finishing this one today

but will get some fresh SC peaches if anyone wants any

9:41 am

straight up JEALOUS you have a motor home!

I'd like a smaller one but it is the best way to travel with pets and food issues

9:42 am

we are going to rent one of those someday, you heard it here first!

9:43 am

stats for the 9?

we had a pop-up camper and decided to do a cross country trip in 2014. mr. homie said it would be cheaper to buy one than rent since we were gone over 7 weeks

9:44 am

ph hokie, trade lives with me???

9:44 am

hokie...traveled in a motor home for 5 years...LOVED it!

9:44 am

se9,54

of course we tried to sell it earlier this year and couldn't, then the pandemic hit. could prob sell it now with the surge in RV'ing

phae, did you have a phaeton?

9:45 am

yes...lol How did you know? ;-D

youngest kid is a senior this year. we will probably travel around a while when he goes to college.

ha! I always just assumed that but wanted to make sure.

9:46 am

ty aslindy

9:46 am

phantom - round

we have ended up on some dicey roads in ours. just kinda stresses me on travel days. it is a 40'

9:47 am

do you tow it, or drive it?

we drive it, it is a class A which is like a bus. like the rock stars, etc. but we tow a truck behind it.

9:48 am

so was ours...got in some pickles. hard to turn around..then we towed a 20 ft trailer behind it. whew!

9:48 am

holy cow. Okay, so I could NEVER back that up

mr. homie doesn't mind backing into campsites. but when we're towing you can't back up or it will break the tow bars.

9:49 am

I drove a school bus for 20 yrs so driving wasn't a problem. My husband drove because he couldn't give directions worth a damn.

phae, we once got sent by our RV GPS onto a back country road into Capitol Reef NP. was crossing a dry creek bed in the road and our jeep came up in the air into the back end. I actually said at the time "we're in a bit of a pickle."

9:51 am

lol...some of those roads the GPS sends you on turn out to be nothing but ruts

I drove a few times early on but haven't in years so just haven't been able to get comfortable doing things like backing up. I'm kinda small and can't get the seat adjusted close enough.

9:53 am

my friend went to a driving school in Yuma, just in case she had to drive. Her hubby was a retired truck driver. We were sad when we had to stop.

oh, it was so washboarded he had to drive really slow and it took hours and hours. we unhooked the jeep after the first ditch crossing and I drove ahead as a scout, but we couldn't really go back at that point.

9:53 am

what type do you have?

that is sad. it's a great lifestyle.

9:54 am

manufacturer?

ours is like bottom of the line - cross country sportscoach. it is a bunkhouse but our boys rarely go with us anymore.

9:55 am

it's just great to be out on the road...meet many wonderful people.

we remodeled the bedroom this summer and are going to do the rest when we get it back. I was going to change the bunkhouse to a sewing room but I'm thinking now I might leave it in case we want to try to sell again.

9:56 am

It is HOT!

agreed

9:56 am

it's already 81 here and supposed to reach 91. Hitting the water today.

85 here bea, not sure what the feels like is because my phone is somewhere else

9:57 am

Sorry to change topics, but is anyone familiar with Stack Social?

ok, mr. homie is ready to leave. BBL

9:58 am

no. lawyer-1

10:02 am

current temp 89. feels like 95. Took my walk at 7 am and it was already 77.

10:04 am

Mixi, how are the covid cases in your area?

10:07 am

sorry, disappeared for a minute there- my laptop died and I had to reboot, and then got the DREADED "install updates please wait" message

10:09 am

rising slowly.

10:10 am

I was allowed to visit my mother-in-law this past weekend.

10:10 am

how did they handle it, mixi?

10:12 am

We had lunch in my car. (air-conditioning running) she drove to the local park. Then I was allowed in to give a concert, but not visit.

10:12 am

I am glad you got to see her!

10:12 am

She turned 89 on Tuesday.

10:13 am

morning all

10:14 am

Hey, mool.

10:15 am

hey bzz...happy Thursday

10:15 am

good morning mool

10:15 am

hey trif, happy almost end of the week to you

10:16 am

thanks!

10:16 am

well, 175 to go...this is going to take some time

hey trif

morning moo sounds so funny...

i am awaiting a workman who i hope is still cominng though it's raining intermittently.

10:20 am

hey TO

10:21 am

(((( rain)))))

oh yeah. rained a lot and more is due

10:23 am

poor mool

10:24 am

heh

why poor moo?

10:24 am

not really, don't mind a big board every now and again

10:24 am

please please send it this way!

10:24 am

i love big boards more fun sometimes

10:24 am

mlf, you haven't been around much lately.

if i oculd, i surely would. it's been good awful. the deer have been eating everything. they finally visited my hosta.

10:25 am

what's a hosta?

10:26 am

shade loving plant, hursh

10:26 am

ah

it's a decorative plant. a bitg ckump of variegated leaves.

it's like planting a salad bar for deer.

10:27 am

do you mean you did it in order that they would eat that instead of other plants?

well, no...

10:28 am

ok i just wasn't sure if visiting it was a good thing or a bad thing :D

bad. unless you want a clmp of ragged stems in your front yard.

10:30 am

well, you could get a big scary dog to bark at them and scare them away

10:31 am

man pee works, by the way....ask your male house members to pee around flowers/plantings you want to preserve. If you live in a neighborhood, have them pee into a cup and distribute

10:31 am

sounds like the deer are taking you hosta-age

10:31 am

they stay far awy

10:32 am

lol good one, ruru!

10:32 am

oh i've heard that human hair has that effect as well trif

hmm, perhaps that was what governor cuomo was doing in that photo of him nude in the garden...

10:32 am

it might, i dont' know. Can only attest to the pee. Works

10:33 am

my former hairdresser told me she had someone who would ask them for the cuttings for her garden

10:33 am

so wait, trif, are you saying women's pee does NOT work? or just that it's easier for men to pee around plants?

10:33 am

that's why your neighbor's wonder why valentine just doesn't use the bathroom like the rest of us

when it's this dry i doubt much works, though cayenne seemed to deter rabbits from eating the verbena in pots

10:34 am

hi everyone! nice to have a big grid. We use a deer-repellant that works (until it rains).. but ooh does it smell bad !

10:34 am

(HOPES scrabs isn't here for that one)

and also around the parsley

10:34 am

I heard it was man pee, so that's what I use.

10:34 am

I don't have any neighbors, ruru.

deter does not equal harm

10:35 am

right.. they just don't eat the flowers and move on to something else

10:35 am

well if you get some rabbits coming up from Mexico TO the cayenne won't help

10:36 am

picturing rabbits in colorful ponchos and sombreros

i picture the poor critters sneezing

ok time to get ready. workmen coming to replace outdoor faucet.

10:37 am

ariba! it's verbena

10:37 am

i thought contessa would count but for some reason it doesn't

10:37 am

never had any luck with hostas until we moved to MA.

10:37 am

in CT the deer had a salad bar in my backyard.

10:37 am

agreed, harry. they do love massachusetts

10:38 am

well I have no deer here for some reason.

they ate every blossom from the very beautiful and costly plant. they bit the flowers from the gerbera daisies, but do not eat them. just for fun

10:38 am

they can't afford the real estate taxes.

10:38 am

if you're in the boston suburbs it's probably just too people-y for deer

10:39 am

they were all over the place in new haven, which was also peopley

hahaha true that harry

10:39 am

but we did have extensive woods nearby. here just small patches of woods

10:39 am

I think the name is Liquid Fence - the deer waited until the lilies bloomed and then ate every one, so we decided to try the deterrent and it worked.

hursh: in a city of 45000 my brother looks out the windoe and sees a huge buck they are everywhere in urban areas.

10:39 am

I have several hostas that are close to four feet across. They are at least 10 years old.

10:39 am

saw a doe and her fawn in our parking lot on Route 1 over the weekend....lots of people, cars and businesses around....

10:40 am

coyote urine is good

so i hear, harry

10:40 am

i lived in new haven too! :D did you ever go to Claire's, the vegetarian restaurant?

10:40 am

right Bea, some hostas are not attractive to deer

10:40 am

always hursh!!!

10:40 am

but I liked edge of the woods better

10:40 am

Plenty of people where I live, and the deer walk down the street like they are neighbors.

10:41 am

wow i wonder if we were ever in the same place at the same time :D

10:41 am

we lived in NH from 2003-2013 I think

10:41 am

well, i am weird cause, i just like seeing deer, i find them so beautiful that it is hard for me to consider them pests

10:41 am

i was there from 2008-2015

10:42 am

Hursh, I feel the same way about deer.

10:42 am

wow! where did you live?

have many near misses then finally a hit when they run into your car.

10:43 am

i lived in the northeast corner of town, just right near the borders with east haven and north haven

10:43 am

we were in westville. first near hopkins and then near the yale bowl

i like them whilst walking but when driving... and i don't like the little surprised they leave on the lawn

10:43 am

I like them when they don't leave ticks near my kids.

surprises.

10:44 am

ha, it would have taken a half hour to get from your place to mine then

well that is a lost cause here. i had a tick earlier in the ssummer. there is an incredble amount of lyme disease here.

10:44 am

Finally greyed the C...back later for the last 58...

10:44 am

They are big beautiful vegetation pests. There were 5 big bucks in my yard on July 4th. watching my neighbors fireworks.

10:44 am

yes. I do miss it though. small town feel.

i cut flowers from a shrub in the common area not knowing it was loaded with them.

10:45 am

yes, i liked new haven a lot, but, i did not like all the bureaucracy i encountered, working at yale in an admin role.

10:45 am

oh no TO

10:46 am

Yale is monstrous like that. But if not for Yale I often think NH would be another Bridgeport.

10:46 am

Or worse - Waterbury

10:46 am

i couldn't even return my parking garage device without filling out a form.

i kept seeing these little black spiders in the sink. then finally one found my arm

10:47 am

did you have a bullet rash?

10:47 am

i could see when you GET one, a form, sure. but when you RETURN it... geesh

10:47 am

that gives me the heebie-jeebies just to think about, TO

i spent a lot of time in bridgeport and stratford early in this century

no, harry. i got it off early i think. but it did raw bllod.

there is not always a rash.

10:48 am

I took our seniors from NH to brirdgeport for a service project. They were a little freaked out by the syringes and condoms we had to clean from the sidewalk.

i was not in the city. just the mall and the UTC plants

and vazzy'. great food!

10:50 am

gotta get some work done! 120 left here.

stratford so ultra suburan, almost exurban

The E in the corner is a currency this side of the pond (but the other side of the channel)

11:00 am

yu 5 and yu 6....

11:00 am

the y is a 5/6

11:00 am

the y rhymes with what you clip to get money off your purchases

11:00 am

thank you

11:00 am

Ru, please don't fish yourself in public : D

11:01 am

proably that's what they call them in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

11:01 am

the y is an evergreen shrub + pl

11:01 am

11:01 am

i was blind to seeing anything

11:01 am

you could say I was bushed in trying to find the y aloy

11:02 am

11:02 am

ok ru, almost a groan

11:02 am

11:04 am

11:04 am

11:05 am

11:05 am

11:05 am

Someone had to go there, it might as well have been me ;)

11:05 am

*Whistles like she hasn't a clue what is going on

11:05 am

(I thought that too, Hursh, but chose to go the cheeky route)

11:06 am

See. I knew the Knights would not go un-mentioned.

11:06 am

well i am off to McLoon's for lunch....bbl to find the remaining 109....ugh.....

11:07 am

46 Cs and 48 Ps. Jeez.

11:07 am

i don't know monty python well at all but that is the one bit i liked very much

11:08 am

the Ps are a bit harder than the Cs in my opinion

11:09 am

I have 132 left but it's tough going now - this won't be a finishing day

11:09 am

but please note there are 119 S words as well

11:09 am

of which i have found 114

11:10 am

Duly noted. I have found them all and it was a trek

11:11 am

i'm approaching the 90% mark for the grid overall

11:12 am

now i think i saw someone post that there was an re9, is that correct or am i misremembering? so far i have se9 and de9.

11:12 am

Correct

11:12 am

11:13 am

11:15 am

Clues for the 9's?

de9 takes away the essential properties of something

11:16 am

Pr8.....plural of pr7/32

11:28 am

I'm still missing one 8...

11:28 am

and there is a past tense too Une

11:29 am

11:29 am

hursh, a fish: so 4, french coin

11:30 am

11:30 am

Tx hursh

11:32 am

11:32 am

Bea, could it be se8? My last 8, it has to do with classifying by using antigens

....a good old movie! Hi, nan

1:32 pm

lol - I'd forgotten the movie, was thinking of the cooking show

1:33 pm

guessing because it should be with an m not n

1:33 pm

that's the frenh and it ends in an e

1:34 pm

never seen it with an n

LOL....I'm old !! I never even thought of the cooking show !

1:34 pm

obvious;y too french today!

1:36 pm

lol -- we are about the same age, diane. How are you doing?

I'm back and eating lunch. phantom century

1:37 pm

anyone have stats for the y please?

I saw this am that it's yu5/18, 6/30, but I wasn't able to monkey it

untan isn't on enable? I'm very untan in the winter

I'm doing well nan, all legal things looked after and nowsettling into a new way of life for me. I have wonderful family, all of them close and when grief is shared, it is not as difficult. Life is still beautiful because of the memories. x x x

1:40 pm

Yu - look at the u word just before it and add a y ;)

1:41 pm

I admire your attitude, diane -- I can't imagine how difficult it must be.

1:41 pm

ty for the yu carla

diane, just saw your profile. sorry about losing your husband. :(

thank you, carla

hi all, diving in!

HI Gwen, the water's fine !

1:44 pm

We are coming up to 57 years this weekend -- figure every day is a gift.

It truly is, nan. Happy Anniversary!

1:46 pm

Thank you.

We had 25 in Jan. Were going to do a trip this summer. Oh well.

nbt woot

i play a little gaem when I load up Babble -- I look at the grid before I look at the total number of words, and I try to guess the total number of words -- today I guess 160 LOL

1:48 pm

It is also hubby's 80th birthday -- we were going to have a big celebration with the kids and grandkids but are settling for having 6 of our friends socially distanced on the patio for drinks and cake.

I start at top left and work across and down. just on 2nd row right now but wondering where all the words are.

Carla, it will be something to look forward to when this craziness is over.

true, diane

finally got the y's!

I also turned 80 in May. It was a VERY small celebration, so ybe it went unnoticed and I can remain 79 ?? ;-)

sounds good to me

*maybe*

1:51 pm

now that is a great idea, diane

I also am ignoring my April birthday

1:51 pm

what day in may? mine is may 14

May 7

1:52 pm

and my daughter is may 21

My youngest daughter was 48 on May 24 ! ..our anniversary, May 21. May is my favourite month of the year for many reasons!

1:55 pm

I find it hard to believe I have a daughter who is counting the days until retirement --- I'm sure it was only a couple of years ago that we retired!

1:55 pm

*months and days

Three of ours are retired, my "baby" has a few years to go yet.

152 down, 264 to go

I am the baby in my family but have basically been retired since my son was born almost 20 years ago. My older brothers are still working toward retirement!

1:57 pm

188 here, but they are not coming as quickly now

I have 243 left but haven't made it through the whole grid yet. still on 3rd row.

maybe I should look more, chat less

1:58 pm

I worked on and off over the years -- didn't work when the kids were young and took a year off to get settled every time we were transfereed after that.

1:59 pm

have been out of the work force for 28 years now and seem to be busier than ever (just don't ask me at what)

it's easy to keep busy at home

I never worked almost 30 years until we started our own company....then I was shareholder/bookkeeper etc. etc. As a result, my CPP is very meagre!!

2:04 pm

yes - mine too - a lot of the time I worked half days so I could be home when the kids came in from school

204 down, 212 to go

209 left here

Lunch time here. It was nice chatting :-)

same, have a good day

I mean, nice chatting, I already ate lunch :D

go go go hokie !!!

2:06 pm

me three -- back later

just pulled a d6 from the babble memory vault that I didn't know existed

I keep wanting to make sorcery which is not even close, just some of the letters

I found the lost moon of Poosh LOL

woot! found a 9

hmm, you'd think one who takes a de6 would be a word, but as usual, it's a guessing game which words you can add -er to

well, 145 left after 1st pass through. got at least halfway on every tile but the 2nd row E

2:22 pm

Name that Proper Noun: Italian poet

dan tee !!!

2:24 pm

Very Excellent!! You win an All Expense Trip for Two to the Seventh Circle of Hell. Second prize is the Eight Circle!

LOL, what a prize package

aw, chucks, been there all ready LOL

2:25 pm

You are SO lucky!

2:25 pm

Book doctor - oh yes, I see you are American :)

oh, are you sending them to philadelphia in July?

2:25 pm

That's third prize!!

we are in a pickle all right, but lickily I'm not in a state with a puddinghead for governor

2:26 pm

What state are you in?

:D

michigan

where are you. god?

2:27 pm

Yea she's good! But you still have all those wackos with gun on the State building (not sure what it is called)

2:27 pm

I am in Canada

every state has anti-mask wankers and pro-gun wankers and creepy wankers who vote for pedophiles -- Murrika!

2:28 pm

Yea- very sad.

but the majority of us a rational human being who care about others, and like that

thank you, gwen

2:29 pm

Vote early - Vote often.

266 down, 150 to go

137 left here

go gwen go!

I finished the 2nd R!

2:30 pm

I am curious... how does one get kicked off the voting list in the U.S.? Aren't you registered with an address?

yes, not sure what you mean. felons can't vote.

351 down with no list and no clues. going to finish what i have begun. plumbers came, everything out from the sink, time to clean before i put it all back.

wow, well done, TO

2:31 pm

I hear that 17 million people were kicked off the list last year. Is that possible?

sort of wanting to see how far i can go without help at this point have fun! back to phila heat wave hell

some fun words.

bye!

in some states felons can't vote, in other they can. we are working to lift th\\eseis unamericna laws

I have not heard that but due to anxiety issues I don't follow the news.

2:32 pm

Ah.....

2:33 pm

160 left playing off and on

where did you hear that, godthaab

felons can vote in Michigan, for example, but not in Florida (by felon I mean ex-con, not someone actually in prison)

but I don't know who these 17 mil godthaab was referring to getting kicked off voter registries are. I just mentioned felons as being someone I thought couldn't vote.

2:39 pm

i had heard that if you had registered long ago but not voted in years, they were purging you from the lists, in some places

2:39 pm

so then you'd have to reregister

there are corrupt officiasl in some states (Georgia, e;g;) who don't want the poor to vote, so they invent fake excuses to kick them off voter rolls

they don't wankt Dems or liberals or sensible people to vote, either

2:40 pm

it's probably because the devil went down to Georgia

both my boys got registered at the DMV when they got their licenses. the youngest will be 18 in Sept. I'm sorry this is his first election.

he was looking for a soul to steal

googl "rob georgia" and you will learn about how they have been coing this in Georgia since 1998

voting is awesome -- even if the presidential race is scary there will be plenty other things to vote on -- state university board -- your local mayor -- member of congress -- judges -- etc

yeah, I usually try to educate myself on the local ones before I go. we're in a weird area and have actually had years where there's nothing to vote on.

I keep trying to make the US beer in the grid work. just in case. it is only a proper noun though.

we call those phantoms

yeah, I've been calling them all day. add that one to my list.

2:45 pm

well phantoms are things that aren't there but would count if they were

2:45 pm

the beer IS there but doesn't count, because as hokie said, it is a proper noun

2:45 pm

I just hope that those who didn't vote last time because they didn't like Hillary have learned that not voting isn't enough -- you have to vote against whatever or whomever you don't want.

oh, good point

oh, pick pick pcik LOL

found a nine woot

I found se9, what did you find?

de9

2:49 pm

Re9

hmm, well it's not ones who de6 because I already complained about that

2:49 pm

hello all.

howdy

there are at least 12 different and compelling reason why Hillary (supposedly) lost in 2016. People who didn't vote because they assumed she would win are only one of them

2:50 pm

don't have either of those -- just the se 9

i don't even have the de6

an alt. ro5

2:50 pm

I have the de9.. thanks for the other two, looking now!

ooh, got the de8/9

would be nice if it was recounted, but that is a legit phantom

found the re9! thx, all

2:53 pm

Man!!!!!!!!! I was right behind you with the de, now gotta find the re...

you can do it!

2:54 pm

found the re - still looking for the de

2:54 pm

So many options when it's an re....

look at 7's that start with the letters around the E. you might not have the root yet. that always adds a degree of difficulty

2:56 pm

I know! Will get there...surely! ;)

current makeup trends (which I rarely wear) use this word

nan, do you want a small clue for the de?

2:57 pm

DONE!

2:57 pm

a clue for the de 8-9 please?

think alcohol, nan

2:57 pm

Got the r9. Not got the other 2. Do they build off other words?

2:57 pm

Done before I saw the clue, but that would've done it. Thx!

2:58 pm

well, it's not dewars!

hmm, forget the de part and think of what canadian parks have - you are out in ____

jax, the se9 is a plural of one who se6

2:59 pm

Just found the se8/9

2:59 pm

ty --- strange word

3:00 pm

still don't see the alcohol connection though

you've never heard of de8'd alcohol? maybe I'm making that up.

3:01 pm

Thanks. De is common word in biology

3:01 pm

no I haven't

just googled it, I'm not making it up

3:01 pm

No you’re not making it up Carla. As soon as you said that I got it

whew

3:02 pm

found the se8/9

is that all the 9's, m?

97 to go, calling it quits for now

wow, gwen you stepped it up. 113 still left here.

3:05 pm

I just got the re9, so done with the 9s! Yay!

yay

3:14 pm

236 left here

sorry, couldn't resist it, you had a perfect setup

3:18 pm

actually missing one from each N but was trying to finish the middle

3:19 pm

NE7 maybe.

3:20 pm

ce 8 please?

I do not have an ne7, so that is one - thx, zooz. looking now.

3:20 pm

Na5?

3:22 pm

Yes got that one

3:22 pm

Oh haha! Sorry!

nan, I don't have

3:23 pm

I just got a ne7 but it doesn't end in pt of consume food?

that is 2 clues for different words jumbled, M

3:24 pm

There's a phantom that starts the same and ends with pt of consume food...

3:24 pm

Ah

3:25 pm

I should update my profile pic. Had a 4th grand last month!

3:25 pm

It does not take me long to confuse people as you can see haha!

3:25 pm

off to get some groceries - bbl

3:26 pm

Congrats, M9f9l!

aww

3:27 pm

He got here before the midwife did!

3:27 pm

But my Son-In-Law handled it just fine

glad there were no problems

3:28 pm

Apparently I came out like a bar of soap!

3:28 pm

Ha ha.. many do!

3:28 pm

Never could handle confined spaces.

haha, none of mine did!

also my first one was 15 days late

3:29 pm

Yikes

and I would have died not in a hospital

3:29 pm

I bet you were saying Come out godammit!

3:30 pm

Carla?

yes, bea?

3:31 pm

What are you doing?

working on this grid, why?

3:31 pm

Are you in the Queen City?

yes, we made it back about an hour ago

3:32 pm

I just got off a Fa

3:32 pm

OK, could i get a clue for the ne 7 please, tried to make sense with the previous clues but not getting it

more like 2 hours ago

nancy, I never found it either

3:32 pm

FT with my granddaughter and we talked about slime for 40 minutes!

haha, does she make it?

3:33 pm

Oh I don't know. They can do a lot at home. The day of his birth as my daughter took him back from me on her way to her room she stopped and said "I could have had a "I would have died if not in a hospital" stories!" She hemorrhaged and bled a lot, and they had to go in manually.. but they got it sorted!

3:33 pm

NE + vowel + I do not fancy you as you are not my ----

3:33 pm

ne 7 is new+ sort

my boys were older when that came out. does they use elmer's glue?

3:34 pm

Tx for ne7!

3:34 pm

The toy slime? Or natural slime?

thx, was trying that prefix. also didn't not have the "sort" part of the clue yet. it's a 2-fer!

3:34 pm

Like slime molds?

3:34 pm

thank you zooz

3:34 pm

She makes it. Glue, glitter, beads...she loves it and makes beautiful mixes.

not sure why I said "does they" LOL

3:35 pm

Toy slime. She does not watch tv, but she watches slime videos on youtube all the time.

3:36 pm

The new thing, to go by plural pronouns:)

funny

3:36 pm

My grands watch a lot of those also

you can literally watch anything on YT these days

3:37 pm

I just watched a youtube to figure out how to get out our broken dipstick

3:37 pm

I'm always sending her random packages of stuff with slime or beads in it.

3:37 pm

YouTube is the best!!

3:38 pm

There's a couple youtubers that I watch regularly myself.

3:38 pm

YouTube is my go-to for anything that involves tools. I can barely use a mechanical pencil.

3:39 pm

She told me today in our conversation that "since this virus stuff, you can get anything on Amazon." I laugh so much when I talk to her.

3:40 pm

Grandkids must be the best!

3:40 pm

I might make a youtube explaining how percentages are reversible. Someone posted a meme about it, and so many people were having issues with it. I explained it in a typed out explanation and it helped a lot of people, but I think a video might be better.

3:40 pm

That's funny. I love it when memories of something my kid said come up on facebook.

3:41 pm

Depends on the tool, ori. Hubs gave me a maddox tool for my birthday. I am all over the yard wacking out stuff I don't want...

mr. homie watches every night. he has a few regulars and then he looks up anything he is working on

3:41 pm

Like my son asking if even remembered how to be awesome.

3:41 pm

There are a couple of great gardening channels also.

3:42 pm

My daughter has been watching videos about the Ruth Stout method of gardening since one of my tax clients told me about it.

3:42 pm

I often engage in appropriate tool usage.

3:42 pm

LOL

3:42 pm

Grandkids and the things they say are so much fun. Our oldest, would see something he didn't know about an would say, "What's that for doing?" We still say that....

3:43 pm

Ruth Stout...will have to look at that.

3:44 pm

I love it when something they say becomes family vernacular.

we are going to do a video of our RV remodel. will let you all know when it's on. :D

I say "I can't like that" when talking about certain foods because my friend's daughter used to say it all the time.

3:45 pm

My grandsons watch youtube on Roblox...I remember when we used to watch Nick Jr. Now, the tv is never on when they are here.

3:46 pm

Carla, have you seen where Wake county schools are going to be online only for the first semester?

3:47 pm

We have quite a few. From our oldest daughter "I'm a growned up kid!" "it's traggik" (instead of tragic...because she read it but hadn't heard it). From our first son "Yood Yob!!" (he couldn't say consonants for a long time) From our third (daughter) "No me me!!" When we play chase. We're not sure which one would say "that's asgusting!" but we still say it.

No. Cabarrus Co is doing 1 day a week in school and 3 groups, but you have the option to do all online. Meck Co. is oddly going for 2 weeks before switching to all online.

3:49 pm

And then the other state I watch closely is Kansas. My daughter teaches there and my grands go there. The state BOE vote to not delay the opening of school or the wearing of masks while they were wearing masks in their meeting...<faceplant>

3:50 pm

m9, I love "that's asgusting"! LOL

3:52 pm

Youngest (son) said he was going to tell something in his game to "sneeze fire" so I asked if there were dragons in his game. "No!" "then who's going to sneeze fire?" "Sneeze fire is when you tell them to stop shooting!!!"

3:52 pm

I have a young friend starting at App State. They will have abbreviated classes, much like summer school and will be home and stay home at Thanksgiving.

3:53 pm

LOL! Sneeze fire...

3:53 pm

We have lots. we call the tv remote the "babote" and the computer a "luler"

3:55 pm

Christmas lights on houses are "ho ho lights"

my niece & my oldest son used p's for f's. one time my mom said there was a fork in the road and my niece exclaimed, "there's a pork in the road?!" we still laugh about that and she's almost 21.

4:00 pm

My sister's daughter when she was about 5 went to school in mother's car and mother said to her other half it is pissing down out here. They got to school and my sister's girl shouted out as soon as she got into the class It is pissing down. My sister could of died on the spot lol

4:01 pm

My oldest daughter called her vagina her "china". We were hosting Christmas dinner one year and my mom asked what she should use to set the table. I said, "Oh, let's use the china." My daughter looked at us and said, "What?"

4:01 pm

Oh, Bea! LOL

4:03 pm

Zooz, I have tears from the "pissing down"...

4:03 pm

I have got to go start dinner....Leaving 42 in Judi's bucket! Night all!

4:04 pm

Bless her apparently she said it with such pride too!

4:04 pm

Have a lovely meal and a nice evening, Bea ❤

98 left here. on phone call right now. bye, bea!

4:07 pm

Judi's bucket is going to be full of leftovers tomorrow. Maybe we can chum with it.

4:13 pm

Funny stories!

4:14 pm

200 left. ugh

4:17 pm

Yes! Thankfully I have just finished and time to retire for the evning. Happy babbling everyone! And good luck!

well done, good night zooz

lol, how is ma7/8 acceptable and other -ers in the grid are not

it's a noun, not a verb!

has anyone noticed there are a LOT of S words today?

4:27 pm

119, i think....

I thought about doing the maths, but didn't. thx. :D

4:28 pm

someone posted it earlier...

well, my laptop is on 11% so I guess I have to get off the couch. leaving 83 for later, unless Judy wants them?

4:46 pm

Ce6/21?

4:46 pm

ce + short writing piece....

4:48 pm

Tx!!

4:48 pm

yw...

4:48 pm

Just found natural fertilizer :-)

that's the one I was saying it's ridiculous that one who does that is accepted. so don't forget those! made it to the charger. :D

5:22 pm

well, I went through the list and now I have only 7 to find....taking a dinner break....bbl to finish....

5:29 pm

huge grid eh

biggest I've seen in a long time

5:33 pm

hello again - back to the never ending grid :)

nan, did you get the ce8? I looked it up.

5:37 pm

Hey, Nan :-)

5:39 pm

no I didn't -- just got back from a grocery run

just like always in big grids, there are words I know I entered that weren't there

do you have se8/55? virtually the same

5:41 pm

I have an se 8-9 combo

ends in what you do on a keyboard

5:42 pm

play?

5:43 pm

oh - a computer keyboard, lol

5:43 pm

(rimshot for nan....)

5:43 pm

I have 100 words and no animals yet

well, in the old days there were manual & electric machines that you did this on

jane, there is a mammal that was new to me and a common food fish

5:43 pm

hokie, in the old days they weren't called keyboards.....

5:44 pm

got it, ty carla

I'm plenty old enough to have used those machines pre-computers. LOL

I even took a class in high school

5:45 pm

F.R.F. (space) D.E.D. (space) F.R.F ad naseum

5:45 pm

me too -- had a royal portable when I was at university

5:46 pm

was in this huge black square case that came in very handy for smuggling wine into the dorm.

5:48 pm

Royals were the best. I had an IBM Selectric. I think it might still be stashed away somewhere.

5:49 pm

lol - this was long before electric ones

5:49 pm

You haven't really ty4ed unless you had to return your carriage with your own hand.

5:50 pm

Yes Nan, I know Royals were before electrics. My Dad had a Royal. That is what I learned to ty4 on.

I probably only ever used electric ones

I liked the ones that had the white-out strip built in.

5:51 pm

those came later. I would wear those out!

5:52 pm

I don't think I could use one now -- the touch is so much heavier - sort of like switching between and electric organ and a piano

I kinda liked feeling the letter swing out and hit the paper when you hit the key, and the carriage going back

5 T's left and that's it!

5:55 pm

un 7 please

5:55 pm

wtg carla

5:56 pm

de 6-7 please?

hungry, nancy

wow, my last one was something you need the white-out for. think I would've seen that. anyhoo...

5:57 pm

ty carla

nan, sounds kinda like a man's name, like Tutu

I mean, like his first name

it's the mammal I was telling harpjane about

5:58 pm

that'd be uncomfortable meeting him homie

5:58 pm

"nice to meet you tutu"

5:59 pm

ty carla

6:00 pm

Wait. There's a mammal that wears a tutu?

6:00 pm

They have killer underwater ballets

6:02 pm

name that french impressionist painter

6:02 pm

If he had been Brutus, we would have et tu, Tutu?

6:04 pm

hippos wear tutus harp.. everyone knows that

6:11 pm

ne 7 please?

6:13 pm

Actually I just watched Fantasia!

6:14 pm

i love that movie

6:14 pm

I have

6:14 pm

I have Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 so we made a night of it.

6:15 pm

Something's wrong with Fantasia 2000 and I can't turn the director's commentary off. I need an 8 year old to fix it

6:15 pm

ne7...new prefix + hunt and peck

6:16 pm

don't think I've ever seen it -- wasn't that one of the first mickey mouse flicks?

6:16 pm

I don't like director's commentary

6:17 pm

I'm trying to convince my husband to take me to my birthday dinner. The place we always go just re-opened. My birthday was March 20. I think I ate cold beans out of a can.....

I have both as well but recently watched the original on Disney+

6:17 pm

Fantasia is several animated stories, nan. One is Micky in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Mine was Apr. 11, harpjane. had a similarly unspectacular dinner.

6:18 pm

I make it a point to eat and drink something nice on my birthday

I honestly don't rem. what I ate. Even though it was 3 mos. ago it seems like 5 years. I do remember it sucked and my friend & I (whose birthday is 2 days later) said we would celebrate next year. We were supposed to be spring breaking in FL together with our families.

6:21 pm

I do the same Ru. Your birthday is about celebrating yourself. Cold beans out of a can wouldn't cut it for me.

6:22 pm

We had our dinner reservations and everything, March 20 was the last day that restaurants could stay open in Montana so every place was PACKED. We cancelled our reservations.

well, those were the lockdown days when everywhere was closed and you were terrified to go to the grocery store

6:22 pm

Actually I think we had Chinese leftovers along with the beans.

6:23 pm

Stats for the Y words please?

6:23 pm

po 6/21 please?

I did make a chocolate torte for myself

yu5/18, 6/30

nan, it's a weird plural of a weird singular word that looks plural. let me try to think of something. actually the singular is right ahead of it on the list

6:24 pm

never heard of it. thanks

6:25 pm
