but I have a 2 hour zoom meeting coming up - I'm sure I can make progress :)

8:55 am

anybody remember actor Karl (with the lumpy nose)?

8:56 am

you've stumped me amelu

8:58 am

Malden

8:58 am

oh yes

8:59 am

No meeting should ever last more than an hour. It the subject at hand cannot be dealt with in an hour, people are talking too much.

8:59 am

Mladen George Sekulovich was his real name!

9:00 am

morning, all (i see radar o'riley's favourite grape drink)

9:00 am

Wow, that name is a mouthful

9:00 am

he was married to the same woman for 70 years

9:01 am

ok. off to the valley of death - going to my mtng.

9:05 am

Sorry, late ding ding ding! Work interfered, lol.

9:21 am

wow harry he could have done less time for murder

LOL

I'm back - the workout jarred some words loose

but not many

ooh, 4th col gray!

9:40 am

I haven't greyed out any columns yet

just need 1 T for 5th col

9:44 am

nice, still need 1 i and 5 D!

is there more than one dj?

9:45 am

9:46 am

Good morning

thx

morning, ori

9:47 am

hello ori

9:47 am

trying to bang out this grid before I leave

down to 27 now, slow going

9:48 am

Enjoy yourself!

9:48 am

20 here and right two columns are done now

thought I was onto something with the 5th col t but I guess teenie isn't good

9:50 am

weenie has to be in the grid with it

:D

9:53 am

wow.. just lucked on a strange c

only 3 4's left today out of 27. that is not good.

stats, please? I still need 2 c's

9:54 am

ca6/24 postal stuff for dromedaries :D

make that 1

good clue, yes, odd wrod

word

now just need 2 a's for 4th row

9:58 am

finally got all the fours a few were hidden

hmm

9:59 am

i feel like a douche for missing some of the e's

10:00 am

I still need 3

10:00 am

is that some sort of clue?

10:00 am

sorta ;D

10:00 am

yes it was! thanks ru

10:00 am

d

10:01 am

hi Doren

10:01 am

I'm really sad I can't come to NYC this year

10:01 am

hi

10:02 am

me too. But then again, broadway is closed and who knows what will happen with restaurants at this point.

10:02 am

i bet museums are closed too no?

10:02 am

i'm trying to go with the attitude that i'm grateful for what I have done and seen, rather than bemoan the fact that I can't do any more of it at this point.

10:02 am

edamame not in the dictionary

10:02 am

they are opening now. reduced hours, etc

10:03 am

nope, carla. as so many real words aren't

10:03 am

ooh, finished the 3rd row d

10:04 am

i"m very grateful for what I've seen and I have loved all of it. If i never see another at least I've seen some great ones

10:04 am

that's the spirit, ru Book of Mormon and Wicked are high up on the list

10:05 am

never seen a broadway show. well, I only went to NYC once for an overnight work trip, so I really haven't seen anything there.

10:05 am

aint too proud is way up there too

10:05 am

I think that night with you and Bubbles at Wicked was the best night ever

10:06 am

expensive as hell but worth every penny

10:06 am

I loved it, but not on the top list. I've seen too many really great ones.. jukebox shows can be lots of fun, but not broadway at its finest (IMHO)

10:07 am

yup, that was terrific. Eternally grateful for that one

10:07 am

and i still think Estela is my favorite restaurant, tho NoMad was right up there as well. Been back to both of them

10:07 am

these m's are impossible

10:07 am

Estela is my fave..even over Per Se

10:08 am

I need 1 from the first M and 2 from the bottom row.

10:08 am

I haven't seen a Broadway show, but really look forward to it.

10:08 am

i passed it on the way to Bklyn on Monday and thought, why aren't I getting take out from there??

10:08 am

Hope you get your chance, ori

10:10 am

20 left.

hello...

10:10 am

howdy TO

10:10 am

hi owl

hello carla hello dorens

i was out at a real concert last night. i had such fun!

10:12 am

didn't even know they existed anymore

10:12 am

that sounds nice

10:12 am

ah. i ishouldn't say that. friends of mine had a backyard concert few weeks ago. so nice to see/hear live music again

that's nice. whom did they have?

10:13 am

friends in their 50's have a little band. eagles, simon and garfunkle, CSNY stuff. they're pretty good, but certainly not pros

that sounds nice. my friends all seem to have migrated to FL gold coast. no birus and living it up with music.

i saw Low Cut Connie. pure fun. you buy a table and can bring 4 people. or a lawn aquare for four.

10:15 am

you thinking of joining them?

yes

i mean, the tie to go it before you are in some nursing home. they are having a ball.

10:16 am

radical change. but if all your friends are there, why not?

10:17 am

whoops. didn't realize the time. Gotta go- PT time (shoulder again)

have relatives on east coast but at their agaes, not a good bet

sorry to hear your shoulder is acting up. bye

gtg i no longer hear the clothes dryer. happy babbling

10:23 am

well, stuck at 19 left. 2 4's, 4 5's, 10 6's(!), and all the bigger ones left. guess I will peruse the chat after I walk the dog. TTFN!

10:29 am

hi all....46 left here....

10:29 am

hi pen

10:31 am

hi ori...

10:33 am

*falls in* Hi, All. How's the grid today?

10:34 am

hi aussie...not too bad today....

10:34 am

so far anyway, lol....

10:34 am

hi aussie

10:35 am

I've literally just started lol

10:35 am

Hi, Ori, penq

10:44 am

Off to earn my pay. See y'all.

10:44 am

bye ori....

10:44 am

Later, Ori

10:46 am

Oooooo, new words for me... DA9 and DA10

10:49 am

yes, nice ones.....

10:49 am

if they're new to you how'd you find 'em so easily??

10:50 am

My monkeys Hurshy, they love me :)

10:51 am

might i have a clue, o thou monkey-adored?

10:52 am

oooh wait

10:53 am

got the 9... now not sure how to make it 10

10:53 am

I agree with Hursh. The 9 and 10 are not easy to find if you are not familiar with them.

10:53 am

past tense hurshy

10:53 am

hmm, well then i guess it must not mean what i thought it might mean

10:54 am

well i am heading out....bbl to find my last 35.....bye all....

10:54 am

start at a different place in the grid, hursh.....

10:54 am

I looked up what it means....

10:54 am

ok, it DOES mean what i thought it meant, but it just also has other meanings (related) for different parts of speech

10:54 am

they both start from that first top D, pen

10:55 am

phantom: diadem

10:55 am

Is that like "that word doesn't mean what you think it means"

10:55 am

sorry, you are right.....too much babble.....bye all.....

10:56 am

now i just have to find the other four Ds that i don't have

10:57 am

are there any DO?

10:58 am

yes, do5 and do6

10:58 am

theres a DJ4 too

10:58 am

ahhh

10:59 am

thanks aussie! Ds Demolished!

10:59 am

10:59 am

*dagger to the heart* edamame doesn't count!

10:59 am

I love those beans hursh

11:00 am

Ls Licked!

11:01 am

neither does edam (one of my favourite cheeses)

11:01 am

well that one i would expect to be proper

11:02 am

yeah, it is proper, pity though

11:04 am

i have this seat that if you get under it, there is a hollow space, there isn't a solid bottom piece at the same level where the outside ends, if you see what i mean. and my cats look so funny when they smush themselves under the edge to go in there, and smush themselves back out again

11:05 am

awwww, bless

11:05 am

they are perennially entertaining creatures

11:06 am

As Axed!

11:06 am

12:26 pm

hi again -- just back from long chat with our son who had some free time to talk with mom -- lovely

12:26 pm

got it

12:26 pm

If it is the one I think it is, it's pretty twisty

12:26 pm

rhymes with a dude from the book of genesis that starts with an L

12:27 pm

hmm, just read Genisis when the pandemic started and don't remember.

12:27 pm

TBF, it's not great reading

12:27 pm

he was noah's dad

12:28 pm

fireworks! thanks to all the little people that helped me. :D

12:28 pm

How do you retain stuff like that?

12:28 pm

congrats hoke...42 left here

12:28 pm

me? in that case, growing up in church

12:28 pm

hurshy must have a mind like an elephant.

12:28 pm

i love elephants

12:29 pm

12 years of Catholic schooling and I never heard of Noah's father

12:29 pm

I also grew up in church and like I said, JUST READ GENESIS a few months ago, and I still don't remember that.

12:29 pm

thanks, moo

12:29 pm

well i had to look up who he was, i only remembered his name

12:30 pm

Carla, it's probably a one off. Like those passages that say So and so begat so and so, and so and so begat so and so and La6 begat Noah

12:30 pm

but apparently his speech to his wives is the only extant example of poetry from before the flood

12:31 pm

yep, and like I said, not good reading. I was doing the bible app, read the bible in a year, and I think I made it through half of Exodus.

12:32 pm

too bad our oldest poem is all about revenge... sigh

12:32 pm

too bad our oldest poem is all about revenge... sigh

12:32 pm

i hate when i accidentally double-hit the enter button

12:33 pm

ironically Hokie, I'm reading thru Genesis now

12:33 pm

Has Peter Gabriel left yet dolly?

12:34 pm

I'm at the point where Joseph is about to meet back up w/his brothers during the famine

12:34 pm

we had a musical about that - not the famous one, a more churchy one

12:35 pm

down, down, down to canaan down, down, down...

12:35 pm

no, down to egypt. BACK to canaan.

12:35 pm

it has been quite the memory refresher reading thru it again

12:35 pm

LOL, moo

12:36 pm

I do remember that part, dolly

12:36 pm

I may be a little biblical challenged :)

12:36 pm

that was a little more interesting

12:36 pm

lol

12:39 pm

well, down to 19...this should be fun

12:43 pm

olden

12:44 pm

already had that one thanks

12:44 pm

oops hate it when I do that

12:44 pm

I'm sorry

12:44 pm

LOL Mool

12:44 pm

<---Has not been reading the Bible during the COVID stuff

12:45 pm

achient...the pain you feel as you get really old

12:45 pm

lol

12:45 pm

cast

12:46 pm

had that one too thanks

12:46 pm

drats!

12:46 pm

10 left

12:47 pm

you're almost there mool!

12:47 pm

well, fours done....still 9 left

12:51 pm

crazy futuristic computers....madmacs

12:51 pm

I like your definitions :)

12:51 pm

tx, it's nice to be appreciated

12:52 pm

balderdash is one of my favorite games

12:52 pm

don't know that I've ever played that one

12:52 pm

basically they give you an obscure word, and you have to come up with a definition

12:53 pm

that could very interesting!

12:53 pm

then if other people pick your definition you get points, dealer gets points if no one gets the right one

12:54 pm

that's be a blast!

12:54 pm

there's a second version that expands categories into dates and other sorts of things like that

12:55 pm

the only drawback is that the official clues have a certain cadence to how they word the definitions, but once you figure that out, you can structure your definitions better

12:55 pm

fun game tho

12:56 pm

you should be really good at clueing here ;)

12:56 pm

Well I tend to try and clue with more lateral or obscure clues...plenty of others to give more literal clues

12:56 pm

doesn't always work of course

12:57 pm

:)

12:57 pm

But can be fun in it's own way

1:00 pm

surprised edamame doesn't work

1:01 pm

it's one of my ghosts, thinking it should be there

1:01 pm

nite

1:02 pm

a very rainy week here

1:02 pm

snowed here tuesday

1:02 pm

back to 80 tomorrow

1:02 pm

really? did you get much?

1:02 pm

about an inch

1:03 pm

second earliest on record it's snowed here

1:03 pm

wowsy!

1:03 pm

we could use some rain here

1:03 pm

seems early

1:04 pm

yeah, so since I moved to Colorado it's snowed at least once in every month except for June, July and August

1:04 pm

my hubby is from Colorado

1:05 pm

It has snowed in Denver June 2nd, back in 1951 apparently...so it seems September 3rd to June 2nd is the earliest to latest

1:05 pm

Snowed May 21st last year

1:07 pm

Wow, how is it that we are in flood state and just a few states over, they could use some rain. Ma Nature is out of whack.

1:07 pm

when we went to Colorado last summer, close to July 4th, there was enough snow on the road going up Estes, that they had bladed, and our granddaughter carved her name in the snow mounds

1:07 pm

Ah, Estes is just 45 mins from me

1:08 pm

great beauty there!

1:08 pm

yeah, like it up there

1:08 pm

The drive from Estes Park to Loveland is interesting, really close to the river there

1:09 pm

Hubby lived in Loveland as a kid

1:10 pm

it's about 30 mins from me

1:10 pm

he lived in Loveland, Colo Spgs, Walden, and Westminster

That's some whacky weather, mool! It's easy to predict here: Forecast from May through mid-October is hot and dry. Little variation.

2:48 pm

my dad lived in arizona for a couple of years, and he jokes that the people who do the worst at meteorology school get sent there, because you can't really get that forecast wrong

3:12 pm

Yeah, too hot for me in Arizona...well at least in Phoenix, some other parts not so bad :)

3:23 pm

Thankfully, we're usually not as hot as Arizona.

4:23 pm

Lajit. Isn't that something that is real and not fake? LOL

4:50 pm

legit

5:41 pm

Lajit is that new rapper from Isle of Wight

5:49 pm

hello all....

6:11 pm

Hi pen

6:12 pm

hello again, ori...

6:13 pm

Been working most of the day and haven't made a lot of progress here.

6:15 pm

Someone in one of the houses behind me is using a leaf blower and adding tons of dust to the air. Just what we need on top of the smoke.

6:15 pm

that's awful....

6:17 pm

i am done....

6:17 pm

Congratulations pen

6:17 pm

ty....

6:18 pm

not a bad grid, though I did have to list...

6:34 pm

MOLLY are you around? What size does an image need to be in order to not blow up when used for your icon?

6:36 pm

350 x 350 pixels

6:37 pm

Thank you. I'm always posting too large an image.

6:38 pm

Thank you for understanding the pixels thing. Most don't and they continue to have HUGE icons.

6:48 pm

I wrote it down this time :D

is the da 9 a common word?

7:02 pm

Not especially. It's used in reference to fancy knives.

thanks Gillie, I'll ponder on that :-)

great clue

7:05 pm

I only found that word because I read a book recently where it was used and I had to look it up :D

7:12 pm

goodnight all....

7:12 pm

I guess properly it refers to an inlay technique used in a lot of fancy metalwork, but it's also used to refer to an effect that you see on knife blades.

7:13 pm

how do you make it into the ten? I'm lost....

7:13 pm

past tense it....

7:13 pm

really going now, lol....

7:13 pm

fish me....

7:14 pm

i thought it started from the other d....im too tired to babble

hi trif

7:17 pm

hi! how are you, dear friend?

i am well- and you?

7:23 pm

new job overwhelm, but adjusting

ooh, new job! what are you doing?

7:25 pm

teaching eighth grade english at a new (to me) school

are you live or virtual? or hybrid?

7:29 pm

yes, yes, and yes!!! I for sure am missing a cog in my brain to switch schools in the middle of this, but it was too good a chance to pass up! full remote for two weeks, then hybrid, then who the hell knows?

wow that makes it very hard

sorry, i wandered off. i had tv on and they showed my nj hometown, a house near where my brother lives.

i am apt to wander off these days when i need a break from the grid.

7:48 pm

wow! hope everything is ok

you mean th tv? all good, it was an episode of "my lottery dream home". They did not choose it.

7:49 pm

oh that is good then, i guess

i lol'd when i saw the bus with destination my home town!

time to go, i am binge watching "the Shield" tonight. well, two episodes at most. just beginning season 4

how is life in philly? lots of strife with wishy washy government.

7:52 pm

secondo LOVES philly. she is very, very happy there. Bummer - every year my new school does a trip to Philly - but not this year

the mayour is an idiot. you will be hearing a lot of it on the news soon, i fear.

7:53 pm

that is unfortunate. secondo has made it crystal clear that if trump gets in again, she is chucking it all and moving to reland.

they should have nipped the situation in the bud but let it slide.

7:55 pm

i have 17 words left. haven't been this close to finishing in ages, but not sure i have the brain to muscle on

well- how can you let a shanty town grow month after month on the street of all tourist attractions so it's become an armed camp?

7:55 pm

true

nothing to do with president. weak city government. wanting to be everyone's friend scared beacuse the news picked up the ctory of rioters being tear gassed. now they have put the police in th eposition to clean out a fortified camp.

7:57 pm

perhaps he should have addressed the need for a shanty town?

i know people living in other areas near center city. they are fine.

7:59 pm

seconda lives in center city, i think - about a block behind independence hall?

perhaps. they claim they have, but there's awlays gentirfication; drug abuse; mental illness. i have been here for so long and i hear the same tired rhetoric over and over

yes, old city or washington square. or head house sqaure

lovely. i have friends who live in a high rise on the river. they are living the life!

8:00 pm

hmmm washington square sounds more correct.

that area is ok.

8:01 pm

of course she wanted rittenhouse square - fat chance!

lol i hear that!

8:01 pm

the whole thing is a ridiculous win - for less than she was paying for a tiny closet of a room with three other women, she is living in a HUGE one bedroom in a truly lovely building

i am too old to move though i would like kensington. lots of music

that's so nice! don't you love that area?

8:02 pm

i love philly. fantastic city

sorry, i mean fishtown. kensington. god forbid.

it is. but it is changing. rapidly. there was a huge boom in luxury accomodations. then they could not fill them.

it's great for college

8:04 pm

i am trying to remember what they call the 'gay area" - something cheeky

and people don't realize how large it is geopgraphically

gayborhood

8:05 pm

the food market alone is worth a visit!!! oh, yes, that is it, gayborhood. lol

great neighborhood

do you mean reading terminal?

8:06 pm

i think so, yes. so many names to remember!

did you eat at di nic's? roast pork italian style.

8:07 pm

maybe? we did buy some amazing ribs

8:07 pm

ne

that is my favorite at that market

i love getting prodice and meat there. and i love metropolitan bakery. and of course, termini's

it will be a long time beofre i am back. the radio station has all live events on hold.

8:08 pm

we ate so much there we had to roll outselves back to her place

8:08 pm

oh yes, how did your music festival go?

hahahah did you save room for Bassett's?

i so want to go to the victor nafe. right now, they are singing opera from the balcomy every sunday. which beings up the famous italian market. have you been?

8:09 pm

omg that sounds AMAZING!!! I don't think I have, but I sure will!

it went well.was working up there last night and got the skinny. with the terrible floods that would have put the two most profitable areas out for half the week, i'd say we dodsged a bullet.

8:11 pm

i would agree!

i saw low cut connie. adam is the best! the show is taped, they've put up 56 shows since the pandemic

i was there for the last flood. people are stupid, everyone trying to get them to leave and they just stand around looking stupid till you screamed at them;

8:12 pm

lately i have been more than a little disappointed at our species

i once saw people climb onto a satge on an open field during a violent thunderstorm there to get out of the rain. darwin award candidates.

8:13 pm

zap!

meanwhile, we rolled the piano to the middle and got out of there. left them to their own fate

8:15 pm

goodness!

anyway, nice to see you. nice to hear all the good news. and i got to see a great band, free, outdoors. life is good, considering.

8:16 pm

it is indeed. I am really glad it all went well. I meant to ask before, but have hardly been babbling this week

did you see the adorable video of the baby goat reuniting with its mother? the second best thing on the net. after cats, of course!

8:17 pm

no!!! I saw one of a baby goat climbing out from under a stove though...I told my students today at open house they were going to hear more about goats this year than they ever thought possible

i worked the makeshift tv studio with some good bands. indoor restrooms. even if we DID have to sanitize them after each act.

i just love them. i hope the old age home has some therapy goats. ;)

8:19 pm

me too! if not, I will insist they bring some in

8:20 pm

funniest thing - I want to visit my mum at the memory care facility once, and, when I asked her how things were, she threw her arms in the air, rolled her eyes, and said "we don't have ANY WEED!" something she NEVER would have said pre=alzheimers!!!

omg

here, my parting gift to the babble world.https://tinyurl.com/y6ghvt6v

8:21 pm

thank you!

perhaps some day we will hit that victor cafe.

8:22 pm

definitely! wouldnt that be fun!

or the markets. yes.

if that video does't just melt your heart...

8:23 pm

ohhhh that was the SWEETEST thing!

wasn't it just?

8:24 pm

you would only be the second babbler i have ever met in real life (that I didn't already know)

have a great evening. time to watch beachfront bargains. i seem to have new digs on my mind. definitely.

8:26 pm

fireworks!!! woot woot

8:26 pm

a lovely note to end on - thank you so much for the friendly chat!

hand trif a martini and a cool towel

like in the old days. when dinos roamed the earth.

8:30 pm
