WTG HURSHY !!!

1:41 am

how are you doing, anike?

Clues are up

1:42 am

thanx lickety. you're my man of the hour....

For some strange reasons I got logged out of Babble. Hopefully it doesn't happen again :)

1:45 am

all good mate.

1:51 am

Hello ((Rose))

1:57 am

lickety, are you still there?

1:59 am

no. I have to remember to send him a thank you for saving my sanity for what? two months? Anybody remember the length of the Babble Drought'

2:00 am

oh, well. Hi & Bye to Rose and Zooz at .... exactly midnight!

2:01 am

If you mean when lickety was unable to put up a list theI am not sure I thought it was about a month. Always seems longer when you are missing something! Saying that it could well of been two months.

2:02 am

Wow It is 8AM here. Seet sleep, Jwr 😴

2:03 am

Sorry rose...had to go and change .....visitors coming because hubby's 70th yesterday. Looking for an re 6 near end of list.

2:10 am

Finished r's

2:11 am

I have to give money (temporarily, with interest) again for re 6/18

2:11 am

but you found them all, yay!

2:13 am

popping in for a quick howdie doodie to Zooz.

2:14 am

oh you're back anike. all okay?? are you having a big do for the 70th?

2:15 am

and zooz has ambled off again, bless him.

2:20 am

pop-in: no, zooz. I was thinking of the many many weeks when the words wouldn't print out on the right side of the grid, so I had to use lickety. Unless you had an infinite memory that would hold 150 words at a time or wrote them all down (ugh!). I almost quit before I realized I could work the grid using lickety and then transfer everything I had to the grid. I got used to it after awhile.

2:21 am

as am i. time to go. happy babbling you all.

2:22 am

hi rose, zooz gone? hmmm. And I haven't heard from sprite after an email I wrote for her dictionary. Rose, the next time you talk to her, could you ask if she got it.

Just went to eleven words left and JUST NOW got nbt

2:22 am

Bye again, Rose. Next time I'l catch U

2:23 am

Good oh, SamanthaJoy

2:26 am

No. Rose. We were planning to have a do but put it on hold not knowing what stage we would be at. Going to have a summer bbq later. Just got a few of his old mates that used to occupy our bar on Friday nights coming tonight as a surprise. We had a family day out to breakfast, long lunch and roof top bar crawl on the day.

6:02 am

lac er

6:03 am

oops, sorry

7:42 am

Good morning, all.

7:43 am

Happy End of The Work Week Day Judi. Hoo-ah

7:43 am

Ditto that, Molls.

7:45 am

Our police department is having an assessment for state accreditation today. Command staff is jumping around like nervous cats.

7:49 am

Oh, how calming. Nervous people with weapons.

7:50 am

Tell me about it!

7:50 am

Work intrudes. BBL.

10:40 am

ruru!! Long time no see

10:40 am

hi there aussie

10:41 am

good morning everyone -- good to see you here ru - thought you might have been evacuated

10:41 am

Hi, Nan

10:42 am

Hi, Nan

10:42 am

Oops, so glad to see you I said it twice :)

10:42 am

we are ready to go if things get worse.. but haven't had an evacuation order yet

10:43 am

woah ruru, evacuation?

10:43 am

hi nan, assieme, ru. Good moring!

10:43 am

Hey saani

10:44 am

apologies for clumsy fingers spelling

10:44 am

Hi Saanich -- have they got the fires in your area under control yet?

10:45 am

All the tiny ones gone; the others still going. The rain and humid weather helps for sure. How about you?

10:46 am

hi Aussie, hi all

10:46 am

Hilarious typo Sannich. I think if you choose AussieMe as a user name you have to be ready for stuff like that. : D

10:47 am

(embarrassed)

10:47 am

we won't be getting any rain until this evening -- calling for severe thunder storm though, so that isn't very good . Beaverdell fire is contained but not the one down on Skaha Lake -- still growing like mad and windy today

10:48 am

what a cheeky typo saanich :D

10:48 am

I knew what you meant saani, don't be embarrassed

10:48 am

good luck to all of you nan

I need a fife!

11:17 am

nm, aussie, basson he will run out of instruments

11:18 am

He may nan ;)

11:18 am

*bassoon

11:19 am

are you trying to horn in on punning nan?

11:19 am

pipes down ruru :D :D :D

11:20 am

reedy thought we were sticking to woodwinds :)

11:20 am

recordering to you I guess

11:21 am

a couple more sick puns and we'll all need a tuba ligation

11:26 am

any more wind and I'll need to saxophone the Doctor with a tummy ache ;)

11:27 am

I'd make a pun about trumpets ...but anything with Trump in it sends nan off the deep end :D

11:28 am

Bassooner or later you all are going to have to knock this off

11:28 am

Oops, Nan already used that one

11:29 am

it's probably going to give us trombone-sis if we keep this up

11:30 am

What Ru fails to realize is that if you put an S in front of trumpet, you get a whole different thing that won't send you off the deep end.

11:31 am

And hush about Trump or you'll get Nan going again

11:31 am

I am getting more hopeful that the trumpet will be drummed out of office

11:31 am

See

11:31 am

people can only hope, Nan

11:32 am

i just hope the Democratic ticket can nail certain states for sure.. like Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Florida

11:33 am

hopefully the younger generation will mobilize again

11:33 am

and i hope that Russia doesn't get involved in the election again

11:34 am

they are already aren't they? hopefully social media will shut them down

11:34 am

i hope so nan... but when it comes to actually voting and doing something the younger generation is pretty apathetic generally

11:34 am

it is just so difficult when you have a would be dictator directing things from the top

11:36 am

hopefully he can go back to reality TV and maybe take over Jeopardy when Trebeck goes

11:37 am

lollollol -- you have to be able to read for that!

11:37 am

and know fact from fiction

11:37 am

*Suspects that after Biden gets elected, the complaints will be about him

11:38 am

yes -- the greedy will certainly complain about his policies

11:40 am

The greedy?

11:40 am

in 6/21, pls

11:41 am

the uber rich molly

11:42 am

It's weird how no one is concerned about Biden's displays of cognitive impairment or the sexual harassment claims. It's like Bozo the Clown could run against Trump and get elected.

11:43 am

they won't be able to get the huge tax breaks or make huge profits off of the necessities of life that people struggle to afford right now (medical care being at the top of that list)

11:46 am

cognitive impairment? an no proof of harassment that has been published --- probably just another attempt by trump to start rumours --- when it comes to sexual harrassment Trump is at the top of the heap and shouldn't throw stones

11:46 am

well.. there is a woman who was a staffer for Biden who said he harassed her... but trump is a proven predator

11:47 am

Very true nan

11:47 am

I need to remember today's chat : D

11:48 am

i'll vote for Biden molly since Bozo hasn't signed up yet

11:49 am

I'm sorry molly that you don't seem to recognize that the world sees Trump as a total disaster and while at first we just laughed and made fun of him, we now feel sorry and embarrassed for you as a people, and very concerned about the danger he represents to the free world.

11:50 am

Well Ru, Kanye has. Close enough.

11:50 am

that's all we need is Kris Jenner to be the Secretary of State

11:50 am

Oh I recognize all that Nan. I just don't think Biden is going to do any better of a job.

11:51 am

And you don't need to feel "embarrassed" for us. Thanks though.

11:51 am

I think he will Molly.. he'll surround himself with Smart People who can accomplish things..

11:51 am

Trump just wants yes people

11:52 am

Trump wants an oligarchy like Putin has.

11:53 am

I fail to see how anyone can think Biden would do a poor job as president. He was a well-respected Vice President for 8 years with a proven track record of accomplishments. He was well respected by the world at large. In other words, the complete antithisis of the impeached fat orange hog-in-chief.

11:53 am

You know who I wonder about? Hillary Clinton. If the Amercian people were so desperate to keep her out of office that they voted Trump in, what does that say about her?

11:53 am

if that happens i hope we don't have to see pictures of him riding a horse with no shirt on

11:53 am

Well good gingin. You are about to get just what you want.

11:54 am

It says that with his friends' help, Trump managed to sling enough mud to squeeze himself into office

11:55 am

You have the most unique view on things Nan.

11:55 am

Molly, it says that people are desperately afraid of having strong women in positions of power in this country. The intelligence level of most tRump supporters is desperately low and they are willing to believe anything the rethuglicans have to say about anyone that disagrees with their agenda.

11:56 am

Ru...I bet we won't see pictures of Biden's wife with no clothes, doing a porn shoot with another woman.

11:57 am

Hillary was leading in the polls until 3 weeks before the election when it was "accidentally leaked" that her e-mails were being investigated again ---- of course after the damage was done, it was announce that there was nothing to investigagte.

11:57 am

i was talking about Trump riding shirtless emulating his hero putin

11:57 am

Molly - remember that Hillary had 3.3 million more votes that tRump.

11:58 am

Ru, yes, but still...

11:58 am

we do need to eliminate the electoral college for sure

11:58 am

gingin - I've seen those pictures too!

11:59 am

Ru... YES! I totally agree. We also need strict term limits on Supreme court justices and clear definitions of what a president may and may not do.

12:00 pm

term limits for congress!!

12:00 pm

The fact that the corrupt mcconnell is still controlling the Senate after all these years is more than obscene!

12:00 pm

no argument there gin .. .he's a cretin

12:01 pm

Cig... and rather than be upset by those photos, the so-called right and religious leaders call her the classiest of any First Lady.

12:03 pm

in 6/21, pls

12:04 pm

in+ what you do to shoes

12:05 pm

I thought Michele Obama's speech nailed it on many levels

12:05 pm

ty gingin

12:06 pm

She is definitely erudite and one of the finest public speakers we currently have

12:06 pm

Now SHE was a classy First Lady ru

12:07 pm

I think Bidin certainly let everyone know how much he understands people's frustration with the current administration and what he plans to do about it

12:07 pm

I wanted Barack to be more forceful in his speech... but perhaps there is some kind of limit to how direct he could be in attacking the following president

12:08 pm

I agree aussie.. i like her a lot

12:08 pm

I think that is correct, ru

12:08 pm

Considering the lies and terrible things the impeached one has said about Obama, the bar is pretty low, here.

12:09 pm

Yes Clinton has said some bad things about Obama

12:10 pm

I think that President Carter and Rosalyn are pretty classy people, as well. they have spent their lives in public service and engaged in projects that help others, like Habitat.

12:10 pm

Knight, you are being willfully obtuse!

12:11 pm

You said "impeached one" - I thought you meant Clinton

12:11 pm

my bad

12:11 pm

Righhhhht. No, the impeached orange fat hog.

12:12 pm

I thought Obama's speech was spot on...

12:12 pm

Now you're just being obnoxious

12:13 pm

He's truly a class act...

12:15 pm

Obama's speech appealed to intelligent people, but to reach the republican base... it went over their heads I think... it didn't have enough conviction or power to it

12:16 pm

that's just my opinion.. he could have used a little Bernie Sanders punch or two

12:16 pm

wow -- big announcement here -- anyone or any establishment not following self-distancing and event guidelines regarding covid prevention will be getting $2000 fines and where it is warranted have liquor licenses with drawn. This will now be patrolled and enforced by police and health officers. Maybe we will finally rid our province of new cases and outbreaks resulting from street and beach parties.

12:18 pm

wish they'd do that here in my neighborhood where latino families are still having big backyard parties

12:20 pm

anon

12:20 pm

oops!

12:21 pm

time to go.. interesting discussion.. glad it was civil

12:21 pm

Hagd!

12:22 pm

agreed - Ru - although calling someone an "orange fat hog" may not qualify as "civil"

12:23 pm

Perhaps not quite civil, but certainly accurate!

12:23 pm

right -

12:23 pm

very mature

12:24 pm

gingin is a celebrity, and when you're a celebrity... well, you know how it goes

12:24 pm

Did you not know? Maturity and civility are no longer valued in the US.

12:25 pm

so let's go high when they go low???

12:26 pm

I refuse to further engage you KT

12:26 pm

just read your profile, knight --- if you are such a good Christian, why do you carry a gun? My version of Christianity involves love an peace for all -- not gunfire

12:26 pm

thanks - I appreciate it

12:26 pm

Kt, only because you bore me so.

12:27 pm

good - we have common ground

12:27 pm

I feel so bad for my American friends. Yet their November vote has never been more cirtical, more important than it is this year. We envy you your vote, because if the rest of the world were able to cast a ballot, the outcome would hardly be a surprise.

12:28 pm

So many of us here in the States envy our neighbors to the north. Trudeau is such a fine man and a leader to be proud of.

12:29 pm

weeeellll - can't totally agree with that gingin

12:29 pm

He is not perfect--far from it, but he speaks the language and he tries once in a while.

12:30 pm

Trudeau was the least of all evils at our last election -- he certainly does a lot of things I don't like

12:30 pm

Try comparing him with our malignant orange buffoon and you may find a greater appreciation for what you have!

12:31 pm

that is true -- I don't think Trudeay aspires to and he does have some awareness of the rest of the world

12:32 pm

*aspires to dictatorship

12:35 pm

I hear rumblings that they may give UBI another go. I am all for it. it will streamline the system, get rid of many bloated, expensive government offices, and allow those who need help the most to make it through this COVID year with dignity while taking vcare to keep their loved ones safe.

12:37 pm

as long as they find some way to eliminate the freeloaders

12:40 pm

I think the idea will be to have it as a threshhold top-up in conjunction with employment if applicable, but if the job is closed due to COVID then adjustments can be made.

12:41 pm

Good afternoon! What an interesting conversation! I agree with my Canadian cohorts: Trudeau is far from perfect, but he has given very good leadership during COVID. What is UBI?

12:43 pm

Evening all - I presume UBI is Universal Basic Income.

12:43 pm

I think you may be right. If it is, I will vote for it.

12:44 pm

It's been tried in a couple of places with great success. But it does require people to realise they need to work and pay into the system, which can be a cultural change for some.

12:44 pm

that's it, wendrie -- good evening to you

12:47 pm

Gorgeous evening here, windy but with blue skies :)

12:48 pm

Lovely here in Nova Scotia too. Warm and breezy.

12:48 pm

are you still here saanich -- apparently there is a python wandering your neighbourhood

12:49 pm

or should I say slithering through

12:50 pm

UBI will not be that much of a reach for us. The savings over the current bifurcated system will be substantial, and after all we uare used to paying for thisgs as a group for the betterment of all. it is basically how our universal healthcare is funded.

12:51 pm

things*

12:53 pm

re 6/21 please?

12:55 pm

the re 6/21 I have builds on the re 4/5 before

12:56 pm

moc a

12:56 pm

the next two build on 4 letter words

12:56 pm

just looked - there are 3 of them -- I am looking for the 2nd one

12:56 pm

sorry, space bar keeps getting in the way.

12:57 pm

Hello friends.

12:57 pm

second one is linked to an industry Trump assured everyone he was bringing back...

12:57 pm

and it isn't to cloak again

12:58 pm

Just taking a look at today's grid. Been busy and still have work to do. May see you all tomorrow.

12:58 pm

Until next time....

12:58 pm

monkeyed it -- silly word - wonder if there is a def

12:58 pm

could we leave the trump bashing out? or is that a thing here now too?

12:58 pm

geesh

12:58 pm

bye Bea!

12:59 pm

as I thought - no def

1:00 pm

I found one for that 6/21 - to re fuel an engine

1:00 pm

whatever is deserved Ibuxx

1:00 pm

he has just gone too far for people to think twice about bashing anymore

1:01 pm

that was it wendrie

1:01 pm

opinions are like butt holes though...lol

1:01 pm

and some of us think otherwise

1:01 pm

yeah, he is pretty bash-worthy

1:01 pm

so ya'll on are board with dementia Joe then? That will have such a better outcome...lol

1:01 pm

we all are

1:01 pm

*!*~*!* anyone want clues before I leave?

1:02 pm

wtg nan! still 35 to go here

1:02 pm

You know, I never cared for Obama the entire time he was in office. However I did not resort to name calling.

1:02 pm

Me either.

1:02 pm

but when all you have is opinions it's fairly easy to resort to name calling. In my opinion...lol

1:03 pm

Forget it lbuxx. I tried to make that point earlier. Apparently Biden doesn't have dementia. It's all a Trump conspiracy. These people are on the inside track, don't you know.

1:03 pm

at least he wouldn't try to shut down the post office or purge elector lists of those who are unlikely to vote for him.

1:03 pm

if you'd read the news you'd know that isnt happening... but okay

1:04 pm

no it isn't, ibuxx - but not because he didn't make the attempt

1:04 pm

cnn is awful these days - even npr - unabashedly biased coverage. It's like fox news in a mirror and on steroids

1:05 pm

did I not see pictures of truck loading mailboxes on them after removal;? Was I hallucinating?

1:05 pm

There is no real news anymore. Just news reporting based on whatever candidate has that agency in their pocket.

1:05 pm

face it -- he lies, he cheats, he is disloyal even though he demands absolute loyalty and he will make any underhanded deal necessary to get what he wants.

1:05 pm

and as much as I abhor trump, I will never vote for a party which includes ilhan omar or rashida tlaib.

1:05 pm

You mean the mailboxes removed during Obama's presidency? That picture?

1:06 pm

OH I have just decided I am staying out of this conversation. No point

1:06 pm

you are wise, swmbo

1:06 pm

not true again.. but okay. The post office has been in trouble for quite a while. Why don't you google it?

1:06 pm

nope -- there are none so blind as those who wil l not see

1:06 pm

Oh I agree with that, Nan

1:07 pm

cyber - THAT I can agree on!

1:07 pm

nan, the PO was an inefficient money losing operation which needed fixing and massive paring. It should not have been done right now, so that's off the table. Unfortunately.

1:07 pm

it probably is -- social media is hitting out post office too, but that doesn't mean it's ok to shut it down right before an election in the middle of a pandemic when mail in voting may be the only option.

1:07 pm

common ground!

1:09 pm

he is NOT trying to shut down the postal service...lol

1:09 pm

I think if there is a concern about mail in voting than another option should be made available. Some kind of drive up, drop off ballot sites or something.

1:10 pm

on my way -- hopefully in a few short weeks your nation will have a leadership that will begin a healing process and good government instead of the hatred and chaos you have now.

1:10 pm

hagd, stay safe and keep your mask on :)

1:10 pm

or can you give me some links? I'm seeing where he didn't want to release additional 3.5 billion in funding at this time.. that doesn't equal shutting down the USPS.

1:10 pm

Well Nan, we all hope that one day we can become as perfect as Canada.

1:11 pm

hatred is all I hear coming from the left wing's mouths these days. I wish there were a centrist party here.

1:11 pm

we're not perfect and I've never said so --- just think we are better off right now

1:11 pm

you should be so lucky Molly

1:11 pm

Oh me too Harry

1:12 pm

I was a member of the libertarian party in my naive twenties.

1:12 pm

back when I thought ayn rand was actually sane.

1:12 pm

I'm more libertarian and/or conservative than anything

1:13 pm

30!

1:14 pm

II am a registered Independent. Well, formerly registered.

1:14 pm

I registered as no party here, since we can then vote in any primary

1:14 pm

either primary rather.

1:15 pm

I revoked my voter registration and I am not registering to vote again until this country offers up some worthy candidates.

1:15 pm

wow - tough love molly

1:16 pm

gulf coast will likely have TWO hurricanes coming ashore next Tue/Wed

1:18 pm

Time for some serious hurricane parties in New Orleans.

1:18 pm

how miserable will that be if ppl have to go to shelters and wear masks.

1:21 pm

Wearing a mask anywhere is miserable. I'm so sick of it.

1:21 pm

but at least in private you can take it off. If you're stuck in a shelter, it's 24x7

1:22 pm

Which will probably keep people from seeking shelter. Not good.

1:22 pm

23. I am listing.

1:25 pm

any clues for the 7s? ty. also need 4th row N words. ty.

1:29 pm

also need clues for fourth column E, O and I words. ty.

1:29 pm

I am tired of people whining about wearing masks. It is a proven technique for suppressing transmission of not just Covid19, but other viruses as well. Everyone needs to put on their big girl panties and deal with it without all the drama.

1:30 pm

na 5/12

1:30 pm

thank you for the lecture. nobody is whining - just making some observations.

1:31 pm

And that is an observation of mine.

1:32 pm

OK then - my mistake. I thought you were criticizing.

1:32 pm

it is a change for us all so we just need to do it. i havent had anyone spit on me in a while though........maybe this is good!

1:33 pm

I'm trying to have fun with my masks since I have to wear them. Just found fabric that has George Carlin's 7 words repeated over and over.

1:34 pm

done. hagd all.

1:34 pm

alycia any clues for the na 5 12? not seeing it.

1:35 pm

I went to the grocery store last week and could not enter because some crazy woman was making an ass of herself at the entrance by screaming at the poor doorkeeper because she felt the mask would infringe on her civil liberties. What a moron! I told her in a very firm voice exactly what kind of fool she was making of herself and suggested she order online if she was too afraid to wear a mask in public. I rec'd a round of applause from the folk behind me. All masked properly, by the way. Things have gooten out of hand with the lack of education in this country.

1:42 pm

People are making statements with their masks. I saw one the other day that said THESE DON'T WORK

1:43 pm

LOL

1:44 pm

I really feel sorry for those ignorant enough to disbelieve the proven effectiveness of wearing masks.
