ugh silly me - got it
ge7
ohh, my real name is in the grid :)
You get the tiara for the day.
I'm guessing Lois or Louise
nope, starts with an S :)
Ah, Serena?
but now that you mention it, my middle name is ALMOST in the grid, Luisa
yep :)
That is a pretty name
thanks :)
morning all
Good morning, dan.
good morning friends
Morning, Trif
woke up last night to the sound of pouring rain - sweet sweet music to my ears!
24 H words?????
they are actually fairly easy, comparatively!
you can do it, robwhy! one bite at a time,
I've got half of them...
i have 17 of them, and didn't even have to try all that much
you can do it!
I have 20 so far, all common
first word I see is ugly, a phantom. bad sign?
there are also a few of our scottish H friends
lol, no you are good, hokie! I know what you mean though - I think mine yesterday was "slut" and I thought, "oh dear!"
Having a bad hair day Carla? : D
maybe
mine today was or4/8...
we are out of coffee here!
Well that is certainly ugly
does anyone else make a habit of typing in words you always miss, just to see if they are in the day's grid?
I do.
good news is it's only 66 out right now
yes! if I see E and T I always just type etna and etui :-)
me too, me too
lol good one dan! mine are "asea" and "rein"
Mine is tetra and tesla
stats for the lone r? It's driving me batty
re7/32
I think that one is re7.32
that is correct, it's one of the few I have
there is also a re7/32 that comes from the top row, just to make it trickier
I like the restaurant apps that ask if I just want to re7 so I don't have to do it all over.
haha thanks hokie, that did it. And thanks trif and molly for the stats
it's always satisfying to gray out a column
well, I was hoping you had it already since you didn't really ask for a clue. I was just making the statement. :D
woot!, yes it is
I had assumed it was a re- something word, but hadn't quite gotten it yet. I had the or5
and well done on 1st column, I'm not seeing anything there
good morning. help with E in right column pls
eu 6 peri
Funeral tribute
oooh the y and I are not going to be friends today I think
Hi peri. eu6 = funeral speech
ah so it is
6.33
ty both
that you all
thank you even
I have two Ys and don't even know where to start for the other 2
i have just one, and only a few more moments to babble before I must start my day
Yo5 rhymes with Disney rodent
I was about to make a joke about one but it is actually accepted
have that one, thank you!
There is a yo4.9
oops, there's the third alarm....blessings to all
bye trif
Bye trif!
Two of them are a misspelled person who does Downward Dog
4's? because I've been trying that
nope
People who work in schools have my admiration.
A five and a six
got em
4th col finished!
oh geez, thanks molly. I had no idea you could spell it that way
Neither did I. It was a weird "Babble guess"
don't forget ra5 along the same vein. I always miss those
that one I always remember for whatever reason
I do get that one more than saree, ameer, and emeer
So far, I am nominating gu5/22 as the "Give me a break" word of the day.
Bwaaaahaaaa
LOL, I already had that one. guess I've learned to try anything here, no matter how ridiculous
i also had it, for hokie's same reason: if it's ridiculous I still try it
I am missing one R...sigh...
I still have 12 :D
you have ro5/16? it's really hard to guess with you because you know a lot more words than me.
Yes.
I'm finding the s to be the worst
ha! got the h6 today that looks like a plural but isn't. fool me once...
68 out now. taking the dog for a walk, possible run. TTFN
oh, 80 to go for the progress board ;D
Oh thank God. People would be on the edge of their seats wondering about Carla's progress.
regs
dreg
I'm down to that last R...Grr.
Any one have a clue for the last re6.18?
re + red flower of love?
Damnit!
Thanks, Molly. That was it.
eu 6 clue pls?
funeral speech
Hey, it's hard to read backwards and in a circle
ty bzz
are the middle e words common?
I'm back! they must be, mlfan because I have both grayed out
yes
ty both
got the 4th column e
got the other 2
I'm off to get something accomplished today.
hello...may I have Q stats pls
qu4 and qu5
ty
oh, popped back in at the right time. had the 5, couldn't find the other
thx
I guess a bull isn't a go5
Be careful. Carla is popping again.
Hello, Babblers.. hopefully my internet problems are solved. Some magician in cyberspace must have worked on it last night after I called to complain.
hope so!
I get crabby when I can't Babble, lol
A magician in cyberspace sounds so much nicer than a technician.
I'm glad you've got it sorted out.
hi Haz.. yes, they put in a work order and told me someone would be here today.. then I get an email asking to confirm "the problem has been solved".. we shall see
I hate trying to explain problems that are technical in nature, I just flounder with the vocabulary and terms needed.
I know what you mean!
Still, I'm sure they're trained to cope with the less technical among us.
they are, because I usually know all the right terms but they start out talking to me like I'm a third grader
good morning everyone :)
hi nan
That would suit me.
hey nan
Good morning, nan.
they also tell me to do everything I've already done, like restart everything
when in doubt, reboot!
exactly
Reboot but don't kick.
just realized I didn't have a word that someone accidentally typed in the box this morning. I'm ignoring freebies now I guess.
woot! 1st column now gray!
there are so many crazy ways to spell things accepted here that I really don't understand why I can't golph
no phun at all
I have tried physio 2x. I believe that's what the rest of the world calls physical therapists.
I also want to make polygon
just tried phylus, sounds good anyway
sure does
gophre should be allowed also
phrog went ribbet
haredo - how the easter bunny dresses his head
lol, g1
just realized I only have 1 7
missing 2 e's from the left - anything weird I should be trying?
am missing 3 of the 7's
I managed to finish that just a few min ago. I think no weird ones, nan
any eq or eo?
no
no, but maybe you missed a plural?
2 eg, the rest er I think
have the eg's
my last 2 were about the ground washing away
found -- rotten words -- thought I had entered them last night
same here carla
don't forget the god of love, hokie
hi, folks
hi welki
Hello, welki.
hi welki
good morning welkie
Hi, welki :-)
nice to 'see' you all!
Hello, Welki!
dang, everybody coming out :D
And you, welki, zooz, diane, (it's like the Waltons).
good to see you, zooz
Hello, Haz, Aloy,Hokie, Dianedecoder,Nan.
howdy zooz
Nice to see you too, Aloy! â¤
hi zoom
I am trying some scented oil plug in air fresheners. Tried lavender and now trying lemon. But they smell like stinky washing machine water lol
yeah, I've never like those kinds of things
because they always smell bad
Not what you'd look for in an air freshener.
I am trying them as I keep smelling cigarette smoke and now a chemical smell like chlorine. So thought I would try something to take the other smells away. Beginning to think I might have phantosmia.
ooh, I like that word
Is the smell coming from outside?
I havehad cigarette smoke smells for a very long time. And now it is a chemical smell. Doing my head in lol
all those air freshener oils make me sneeze
yikes
No I have looked into that even had a friend round and he could not smeell anything. I get it round parents house too.
my face masks make me sneeze
Do you have the same smell in your nose when you're outside in the fresh air?
do you use fabric softener when you wash or dry them carla?
no, but I do have a golden retriever that constantly sheds
No I do not, Haz! Only inside my house or parents. The o ly places I go really being a carer.
I think either dog hair or just fabric tickling my nose does it
Only*
needer
sorry
not a word, so you're fine. I wish that was my one missing n
Buy an air filter zooz
uh oh - red bars
Then it must be something inside, zooz. Frustrating for you.
I thought that bit when sister or friends come round and I can smell it rreally strong they say they can not smell anything. Flipping mad lol
But*
Sorry for typos.
ru, what is my missing N?
Ne6
NE 6/18 maybe
Snap, Ru lol
It will worm its way into your list
my guess too.. fw, any clues needed before I go? Hi ru
you better clam uo now ru
I have 2. the 6/18 ending once I saw it on another word gave me like 3. tricky today.
Haha!
two spellings of a geek, n4 ?
phantom: glyph
I have ne 6/21 and ne6/18 but now ru is giving worm clues so is there a 3rd?
yes
yes, more proximal
another ne 6/18
I think that's what I have (aloy made it sound fancy)
well, the marine worm is the other
ne + actor Paul ****er of Mad About You
is that what that is?
thanks hurshy. was trying to get the letter combo right based on points and probably wouldn't have gotten that. we definitely have had it before.
yes, funny how many words we recognize but have no idea as to their meanings.. have been looking up a few... like the marsh plant, dr7.32
def. don't have that one yet
me neither
a.k.a "sundew"
mmm - don't have that dr 7
not dreesia
not a draisy either
ends with pl. of liquid portion of blood if that helps
not really, aloy
lol
how about ends with que ****, ****, whatever will be will be
got it, thx both
nice clue, hurshy
ty hurshy
I'll take Doris Day over blood any day
ok, off I go.. Happy Babbling, good to see you all! poof
Bye, Aloy.
now I will have that song running through my head :)
bye aloy - thanks for the help
me too cnan
are there any ph words?
Quick Nan, put on some music. That is a terrible song to have stuck in your head
ph6/33
thanks Molly!
erm...
how about a clue?
not physio
ty molly - a new one for me
no def - so possibly manufactured
carla change the last two letters to past tense
weird, thx
ooooook that's an odd one
oh, it's PE - gym class
maybe
down to 45 -- back after breakfast
it would be pretty horrifying to make gym class one word like that
missing o guess? anyone?
I'm going on record that that's what it means
os5/10 maybe
no, actually saw that one today, usually miss it
law and or***?
there are all 4s and 5s
no, have that. must be an easy one nobody will be able to guess. but thanks for the info.
i feel that G is the hardest letter today
yeah, I originally thought the S was, but I still only have 9/18 of those G's. got the other 4 at least.
need 9 G, 8 R, and 5 S. the rest are just 1 or 2.
i need 5 G and only 1 or 2 of anything else
i have qu 4. what is other one please? ty
and phantom: greed
yes, and degree
qu5
ty any clues?
to make a qu5 - ask someone
another word for a question
got it. ty
rore
ooops so sorry
wow, just checked the flip - hardly any words called
progress update: 32 left. taking a break to do actual work. :D
here's a weird weird weird one
re7/36: you can spray rules?
Ruling disinfectant
morning all
just starting on this one
hiya mool
hay saani, happy Tuesday
hi moo. made it to 25 on my lunch break, but now stuck again. still have 4 7's and the 8, and still 9 4's that I just focused on but didn't find.
hi all help with re8 pls
my scrabble dictionary say that you are correct carla
down to 23 here
seven 4s, six 5s, six 6s and four 7s
about the P word, peri? ha!
I only have 4 6's left, so I've got that going for me, moo. :D
moo, what is my missing A?
ok, stuck again at 24. back to work.
oh, just saw my missing a. I wasn't looking for that since I am sure I entered it this morning. wondering how many of my other missing 4's I already put in and am now not looking.
indeed you do have that going for you
is the lone E something to do with saying nice things about a dead person?
yep
something to do with that :)
suspected that.
ok - will try various permutations
that seems like a good plan
would have though physio would work
I have tried physio at least 2x and even commented about tit
ah, well we are on the same wavelength then
although I did not comment on tit
harry, maybe you should try the actual word and not a permutation ;)
though tits are related to the chickadees and titmouses that we have here in the US :)
oh duh. I didn't even see the Y.
I'm sure you know we don't use physio here, but I watch a lot of tennis so I know the rest of the world does.
physiolugy :)
anybody have stats for that lone R please?
re7/32
ty carla. nbt :)
I think I just typed it thinking all the letters were there jumbled, not sure where it originates, but surely is there
hi again - 45 to go
hey nan, happy Tuesday
hi there mool
going to be about 37/38C here today
just got back from the beach with the kiddos
how was the beach?
terrific
really good waves
groovy
I do miss the beach
but the mountains are pretty cool
I think I would choose mountains over beach in general
and so I have
but grew up near the coast, have lived a good part of my life near various oceans
we are leaning toward mountains over beach but are trying to figure out how to do both when we are empty nesters
New Zealand can give you both hoke :)
poway area in south cali offers both nearby
well small mountains
yes, though Cali is very expensive to live nowadays, a lot of people too
and the water isn't very warm for most of California
we were thinking more of beach house + lot in fancy motor coach resort in the mountains.
and fires. and mudslides.
yeah, mr. homie has said he will never do cali
east coast beach then?
South Carolina/Northern Georgia have some nice beaches that are relatively affordable still
he does want to move out of this country but NZ seems a wee bit far away.
though you will get the occasional Hurricane
You could go Belize
theres some lovely beaches in baja california, but it sounds like things have gotten a bit dicey there since my traveling days
montana gives you mountains and lakes with beaches :)
yes, two of my friends have beach houses at Sunset Beach, NC, if we got one anywhere it would probably be there.
I used to vacation in Cape Cod as a kid. It's beautiful there.
Montana gives you hip deep snow in the winter.
haven't been to Cape Cod, did spend a little time in Martha's Vineyard though
we were just in cape cod for a few days
snow can be fun, molly
one of my camping friends' parents own a cottage in cape cod and it's kind of a running joke in our group because she talks about it and going there ALL THE TIME
never been to the vineyard or nantucket though
Not for me Nan. I have no use for the stuff.
Can someone please give me the stats for the right column e?
I like snow, though we don't typically get more than 3 inches at a time
eu6/33
Thanks, mool
I like the 4 seasons as long as the winter isn't too long or too cold --- what I would never do is live in hurricane or tornado territory.
yw ori
I have only been to Acadia (which is awesome) and another stop in ME at the ocean (can't rem. the town name) north of NC
old orchard beach
Carla, vacationing in Cape Cod is a status thing for New England people. My Mom was from the Boston area and she thought it was hot shit to go there.
Oh yeah, acadia is cool, took the ferry over to Nova Scotia
Maine coast is pretty unique
I used to love snow and tell my mom all the time when I was a kid that I was moving to Alaska. now, I would be fine living in a warmer winter environment.
but swimming can be a little..chilly
Love Nova Scotia. Such a variety of types of beaches and the northern part gives you the hills (mountains) and forests (Cape Breton)
Winter is relatively mild here in Colorado
still we can get snow in any month from September to May
we had a plan to tour nova scotia this summer before covid came
I have a friend who grew up in Denver and told me you can experience 4 seasons in a day there
my camping friend is not even a New Englander, but she loves Cape Cod!
COVID, the ruiner of graduations, proms, weddings and vacations.
yep
meh. cape cod is good for a vacation now and then
and funerals
the real money is in kennebunkport
We went to NS last fall - in the middle of a hurricane but the people were very friendly and lots of natural beauty to enjoy. Maybe the border will be open next year harry.
hope so nan
I thought the money was on Martha's Vineyard.
oh, the other area of ME I couldn't remember was Scarborough/Old Orchard Beach
we wanted to do the panama canal cruise, but don't think we'll be getting on any cruise ships for a couple of years at least.
we were in OOB for a week a few years ago. lots of french canadians
60 to go.
we didn't notice any. it was funny, we rode our bikes to the beach from the campground and then decided to take this road parallel to the ocean and ended up at the OOB boardwalk. It was a surprise and we had a lot of fun.
someone won a basketball so then I had to buy a tote bag to get it back on our bikes. :D
it's kind of the jersey shore of new england
was about to say I've never been to the jersey shore but we did go to a wedding at Spring Lake or something in NJ on the beach. it didn't seem too bad there.
Does it have a Stone Pony and a Springsteen?
yeah - it's got it's own charm
jersey shore is not all bad, as molly says
Bet it doesn't have a South Side Johnny
or tony soprano
ah got the 8
I still don't! is it compound? do something again?
2nd.
pt.
I guess I don't have the 6
50
well it's not to put grill marks on meat again. that should be a word
Carla it is to have done something again
what you do to a flag.
ah, or poker, thanks!!
lifted up again
:)
I have 40 left. I think I am done.
22 here. will have to list.
45 stuck.
reearn
44. :)
bbl
I mostly don't finish unless it is 100 or under. Can't spend the time. Also I don't play competitively, so if I have to list or not finish I don't mind. Purely relaxation.
I like to finish to see which words I missed or which words I don't know and then hopefully can remember them next time.
re 7/36 please?
Hard for me to clue - ends in French for ground.
ground as in minced or ground as in the earth
ground as earth
ty ori
you're welcome
that's the one hurshy and molly were talking about and I didn't "get".
carla - it ends like the french umbrella
french never works for me, but thanks. will just try when I go to list.
the lacy little umbrella ladies used to protect themselves from the sun?
oh yes, I do know that word, and that was the ending I was trying based on molly's use of "disinfectant".
it is also the ending of re 7/36
did I miss a clue for he re8?
good, since that's what I'm trying to get ;)
re 8 = lifted up again
last re 7/32 please?
yes, peri. or a poker move where you upped the ante again
ok, finally got the right combo of letters for the 7/36
not getting either clue
how about brought children to adulthood again
in poker, you can either call, fold, or * by adding extra. then when it comes back around you can do it again by adding more.
or hoisted again
I have re6/18
not got up -- lifted up
the root word for re 7-8 combo is ra 5/10
like when you ra 5 the flag
duh feeling really dumb. already had the base word ad now have the re8 tyty nan and carla
tough grid for me
don't forget the re 7 - the present tense
ty nan I had forgotten
could I have a clue for the last re 7/32 please?
To do over a do over, plural. Weird word
the last one I have is the single r in left column
ty MOlly
ty molly - kept trying the singular
weird indeed
clue for the last ge 5/16 please
ends in a cheer nancy
believe it's the noun, which is why there's no singular
on the re word
probably mool -- I just knew there was a word something like that
I have a stone with crystals. there is one after that? (ge5)
oh, see the one nan clued now
yep
ty nan, got it
*falls in* Hey, All
hey, aussieyou
Hi, Carla
*!*~*!* not one I could have finished without your help and lickety's list

18 left here too. 7 4's
