morning all! top row done
well done, dan. I commented last night that's the fastest I ever closed out a whole row. :) Hi, all!
2nd row, not so much
I like to celebrate my small accomplishments :-)
smart
trying to figure out how I feel stuck with 55 left, and 23 of those are 4's. how am I not seeing 23 4's?
Wow Harry, good memory on Mike's uncle from All In The Family
I didn't even remember Meathead's real name was Mike
there's lasier again
There is also a derisive term for the Irish in this grid, but we don't need to have The Discussion. Words are words. It's whether or not they are used in a bad way that counts. : D
yeah, I found that last night
That wasn't a clue, just a comment.
down to 47, still 19 4's
guess I will take a break
clue for the or7?

You're welcome.
ty haz

yodal
oh poop, sorry lol
It always makes me smile that the name of Dublin’s major maternity hospital is Ro7/36. Called after the shape of the building, rather than the pregnant patients.
hah!
LOLOL
Good morning everyone!

40 :)

hi hurshy
Pcal I can't find the re7 been looking for it no luck yet
I do not see the re7 either
at least i'm not alone! tks ruru
ah, found it!
well this is funny
so, my cat always works her paws on my while she has her suckles on her hoodie string. today it is causing my tummy to make noises every time she presses down
anyone want a clue to the re7 before I go
Us Upended!
Ns Nicked!
is it weird, pcal?
I am stuck at 35.
going to the list.
yes please pcal
no, but you wouldn't use it much in everyday language...unless you are in a certain profession!
Ys Yanked!
re7 legal; disqualification from a case
thank you
name that proper no4! ancient meso-american civilization
yw
bet that one gets requested all day long
thanks, pcal.. logged on just in time. Hi all, late start to Babble today
haha!
ty for re7
phantom: otter
you know how sometimes you're kind of stuck on a letter and then you see, oh, i could try things that start with DR, and then you find a bunch more? but today i think that and then just don't find any DR :(
hello again!
howdy hokie
hi hokie
how many D's do you have, hurshy? I can only find 6
7
i have 3 da, 2 do, 2 du
ok, thx
I keep trying dayo and then singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight
dayo isn't the lion sleeps tonight, it's daylight come and you wan' go home!
day-o, dayyyyy-o, daylight come and me wan' go home
ok, that's what I'm singing
glad we straightened that out
I'm sure everyone else is too .:D
come mister tallyman
tally me banana
geez, i just realized that must be a song of either slaves or exploited laborers at least
morning all
actual title "Banana Boat Song"
hiya mool
moo!! happy friday(?)
I think it's Friday
yes, tis
per wiki, it is about dock workers wanting to have their worked counted so they can go home after their shifts, so not slaves
my parents had lots of harry belafonte records - we used to play them all the time
but probably underpaid, exploited, given where bananas grow and what we know about colonialism and racism
131 to go!
traditional Jamaican folk song
pretty much stuck or very very slow at 43 left, here, moo. you'll catch up in no time.
108
moo, I grayed the 1st row in like 1 min. a new record for me ;)
ooh, vn
phantom: caldron
yeah, caldron has crossed my mind several times
is the single T an everyday word?
nope
unless you play a lot of music
wow, must be really weird if you're calling it weird
or speak italian
it's a babblet we get reasonably often tho
ok, stat please?
Wow, is Harry Belafonte now politically incorrect?
not at all, molly. i was commenting on the origins of the song, which i gather must have been sung by exploited workers. but that doesn't make it politically incorrect. in fact, one would not wish to squash down the self-expression of oppressed peoples.
oh, anyone NTPN, the crooner?
crosby, como, sinatra... hmmm
per wiki he is "the velvet fog" LOL. I just remember him from Night Court - Harry was a huge fan
torme!
sinatra was politically incorrect
ding ding ding, hurshy wins it all!
ca 8/50,pls
but he did it his way, ru
yes, i think he may have been a bit of a jerk too, ruru
hoke, please tell us what our contestant has won
i won the three dings, silly
I thought you clued it earlier, bichon. someone spelled it out.
no, that was bea at 8:46
perhaps you'd like to re-clue it? :D
This group gives cheap prizes. No steak knives or sun loving convertible coupes here.
Just dings
yay for dings
They could at least give out ding-dongs
it's because i invented it and i'm all into "the satisfaction of knowing the answer" lol
well, I'd have to open the archive again to get the spelled out clue. someone else (harry maybe) said like the sweater.
at least they're not dingbats
sweater... cardigan? no
did anyone ever give the single T stat?
te6/21 hoke
no, a soft, fancy sweater. I didn't get it from the sweater clue etiher
cashmere! no
that's closer to being there tho
yessss got it
thanks
it's another new game... follow the thought process, lol
ding ding ding
i have 23 left, how bout you ?
got the te. why didn't someone just say it rhymes with the puerto rican boy band?
ha! 41, still 16 4's
possibly because we don't know the puerto rican boy band
remad - to get angry at the same thing again
really? Ricky Martin got his start in it.
recad - to act like a jerk again
nutrot...I'll let you guys define that one
lol
ewww, no thanks
undak.. how the cowboys are going to find themselves next year
well, I found aloy, lol
hahahahahaha
ty for the ca 8
I almost said that and then my dog nudged me to go out. aloy gets the tiara!
(-: woot!
will swap tiara for the ca8, still hunting
second half is a swamp
ty hurshy
that did it!
:D
hands tiara to hurshy..
burns it up with fiendfyre since it's a horcrux
(can you tell i'm nearing the end of my re-read of the HP series?)
no, not at all
greek to me, but sounds interesting!
aloy, you should read HP series, it's awesome
but now hurshy has spoiled a plot point
making note..
might as well not read it
eh, by the time she makes it that far she won't remember
hmm, did not realize the chewing tobacco was a word
i mean i have read the entire book before, but only once, whereas earlier ones i read more than once, and i basically forgot every single thing about book 7.
so true, so true
hokie i found some more D words - sweet
hokie i found some more D words - sweet
fortunately, Kindle has the message: "you purchased this in ..." to let me know I've already read it
yeah, I re-read the earlier ones before like 4-7, so I've read 1 like 4x, 2 3x, etc. I think I read 7 once and listened to the audiobook once.
haha
yeah, thank goodness for that, aloy
yeah, i think next time i am going to read 5-7, then just 6-7, to get it balanced out, lol
I must've found more D words because now I just need 4, hurshy
so you have the sweet ones?
I have one sweet one, homer simpson is a fan
As much as some people just love the Harry Potter books, they are not for everyone.
no, ones that MEAN sweet
oh, I think they're for everyone :D
they're not for transgender people any longer hokie :D
couple more italian words in that one
And don't get the Christians started on the Harry Potter books.
that's not all christians
shit.. don't get the christians started on anything
i'm a christian and i love them. it's only a very small subset that are stupid about it.
the theme is good vs. evil but some idiots are like, ooh, witchcraft, burn them!
yes, stupid. no discernment.
ignorance and idiocy is not limited to any subset of humankind
or the senate apparently
the senate is political incorrect
they're more craven than idiotic
Well there are people, Christian and non-Christian who believe that witchcraft is of the devil.
can i get help with ad6?
ad + person, place or thing
brb, census at the door
but the good vs. evil message in the books and doing what is right, treating others like you want to be treated, couldn't be more of what christianity should be
yes, but as a professor at the Christian college Wheaton in Illinois pointed out, the witchcraft in HP is not like the kind of witchcraft that is frowned upon in the bible
omg, that ad6 always gets us
yes it certainly does
I wonder if that's grammatically incorrect
I mean, I looked it up before, seems legit. I just never learned it in English class.
the witchcraft in HP does not require calling upon demonic forces. it is a power which simply works, like electricity, and works according to predictable rules which can be studied (hence hogwarts)
Good Morning ma'am, I'm with the census. Your name is what? Could you spell that please? A-L-O-Y-I-S-U-S. Well, that is quite the name ma'am.
who here tried yoda JIC?
not me, because it's proper :D
so is the chewing tobacco
idk what the chewing tobacco is
but apparently that has another meaning
it's tobacco, you chew...hence the term
sk5
har har har mool
now just 2 D's left
probably some sort of norwegian fish
I have 2 d's as well, but I feel a little flat about it
help with la6/27?
Now with 1d remaining, I'm at the point I think I can complete them
hursh, something a graphical designer might be concerned
with
ooh i found it
thanks mool
re 7?
something a judge or lawyer would do with a conflict
(of interest)
hmm, not getting the graphic designer clue
back.. phew. When we arrived in Oh., there were at least four census sheets - those workers are trying to be thorough. I had already completed it in Fla... think I got it straightened out. Still wonder what is the purpose of asking your ethnicity. I suppose everyone knows theirs?
think publishing
or a newspaper, hokie, they have to figure out the la6 of each page with pics, ads, and columns
ohh, duh
aloyisius, the purpose of asking about ethnicity is to help direct funding to groups that need it.
ty!
oh, ok
I did our census online and then kept getting phone calls. finally called them back and my issue was my college student. I counted him but then I guess the schools turn in a list too?
so no one should show up here
i need some more helps - or5 and 7
dunno if they are related
I am not on the list so you are asking all ones I didn't know existed ;)
:D
this will help you muchly then
I did my census stuff on line too. I have no interest in people who come knocking on my door.
come and knock on our door...
the oldest was going to do that for a job this summer. they pay well, but it kept getting pushed back so he went back to pizza delivery
we'll be waiting for you...
very nice young man, mask on
LOL, I know it's Three's Company, but I I couldn't rem. the next line, sorry, hurshy
i don't think anyone remembers the third line
i only even know the first ones because of friends, i'm too young to have actually watched Three's Company
so, I guess each OR is from a different tile since I need one from each of those O's
yes, same here, and now they are my last two words
I think you're around my age? I certainly watched it, but I know your parents didn't let you watch some things
i'm a little bit younger, just a pinch
even you i would think would be young, since that means you were 11 when it ended
I also have brothers that are 9 and 4 years older than me so I watched a lot of stuff they watched.
ah that makes a diff, i was the oldest
reruns :D
of course in those days, even which reruns were on was i think more decided by your local stations?
or5 is like the window that sticks out of the roof minus D
the or7 is from the bottom o.. don't have it but I have the or5
ok i morewordsed it - o + the ro6
thx
the fat ro6
I am pretty sure Three's Co reruns were on TBS but I could be wrong
yeah, wouldn't have found that one
pompous or bombastic
still 32 left and 14 4's. what a slog
we didn't have cable then either. so all we got was NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and then FOX starting around when the simpsons started
I have ur5 and cannot find the other
ur6, insert another letter
tried all kinds of things like that but as soon as you said that I saw it
my parents did not get cable until at least after i went to college, not sure how long after
we had cable in early 80s I think. definitely had it when MTV started.
yeah my mom would have considered it quite a waste of $$
Hmm, why did I think Hurshy was WAY older than she is
and now i'm thinking about weird al's song about cable tv... "... now i get to watch the stock report in Korean midget wrestling on Channel 3 now i'm never gonna leave my apartment cause there's just so much for me to see!"
I did think she was older than me but not much
because i was born an old curmudgeon
I think moo is only 2 years older than me
:)
wanna guess my missing R from 3rd row?
I feel about 30
mentally I feel about 25, physically no more than 75
the 4 letter babblet?
the unpronounceable ro4 perhaps (babblet)
eureka!
I usually get that but this was backward
we're pretty good hursh
ok, how about the T above that?
Physically I feel about 35 I guess :)
still need two Ts
so I suspect it's one of those :)
well, not the first one...that would be too easy
i had missed the ligament
no, both of mine were easy 4s
eureka!
hursh on a roll...think it might be a kaiser roll, but it could be a bap
some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade
now my remaining tiles all have 2+ left. probably gonna have to list.
i got off the Kaiser rolls when i left california
23 left
regional joke...
between 1-6 on 9 different tiles
29 here, still 13 4's
good morning everyone :)
howdy nan
* or afternoon -- just realizedd that it is almost 10 am here
wow, just found an m4 that is very timely (and easy)
a bunch of newbies for me in this grid.. fw and I'm off . Pretty day today, hope you all have a great one.. poof
bye aloy, rainy here!
how many "not in" words are there? I have one but need 3 o's that I can't find
just have 2 so far, carla -- a 5 and a 7
stats for the bottom i or the t on the right please?
te6/21
ic4/11
well, I'm going to have to list if I want to get anything done today. I am so slow.
ty carla
I also have an ou6/27 that starts with not in
thx, mael. that's the only one I have
ty mael
but I struggled with the other 6 word where you switch those 2 words
I have a te 6/21 body part but it doesn't come from the right hand t
ah, there's a HP word I missed. hurshy could've let me know.
HP ?
harry potter
and there's the 2 sweet D words I couldn't see
and there's a 4 I know I entered
still don't see a te 6/21 coming from that right t
I was told it was music related.
are you familiar with the puerto rican boy band that Ricky Martin started in as a kid? rhymes with that. :D
no - have no idea who ricky martin is
I gave you enough to google. not an easy way to clue it.
you forget carla -- I am well into my 70's -- there weren't any boy bands around until my grandchildren were in their teens! at least we didn't call them that
uses all 6 letters in the right top corner
omg at one of my missing o's
and I swear I tried one of the others
that would make it either a tr 6/18 or a te 6/24 then?
guess it will have to wait until I list - nothing is making any sense to me
te 6/21
ok so it can't use both the u and the d, but must include one of them
:)
and it has to include both t's
embarrassed I missed re6 since I use it all the time
got it - ty -- was thinking a block of 6 letters :)
new one for me -- thought that def would apply to the word soste6
really, si7?
3 left. 2 are 4's and I can't seem to get them with the list. I should just quit for the day.
which 4's carla
23 left here
50 left here and heading for the list
and right off the bat -- ad 6/24 please?
grammatical term
that one always trips all of us up! not adverb but ....
ty carla -- don't think I've ever seen it before
we've had it a couple of times in the last few months
1 left
21 left
mine is a 5/12, how hard could that be
depends
I only have three 5/12s so far
oh, make that 4
was missing an easy one
did you really scroll through your whole list counting them?
yes
you have better eyes than me
just looked for the 12 tho...not the 5 :)
well, makes sense
18 left, and half of them are C's and S's
this is an s I'm missing
got it
looks like a weird fish plural
looks finnish...and no that wasn't intended to be a pun
I did finish. good one. :D
well, 16 to go
oh, another s....
guess I will check the radar and then walk the dog. will check back in with you and nan when I get back.
k...plugging away
bye carla
10 to go - taking a break
just read an article written yesterday ? by Dan Rather - thought provoking and frightening.
Every time someone mentions Dan Rather I feel compelled to mention that he was born on Halloween. : D
finito! thanks Bea, lickety and all cluers. ad6 was my last
Wow, ad6 was the elusive word for many today.
hi molly - does that mean that everyone born on March 17 is full of blarney?
ca 8 please?
like the sweater fabric, sort of. an extra vowel and a wrong one
except for the a it stays on the bottom two rows
ty dan
are the or 5 and 7 related?
*!*~*!* hagd everyone and stay safe :)
no
re7 please
nm
I missed that legal word too. I had to get a clue from the chat. I know one form of it, but didn't remember this one.
Re7?
don't have it yet....hello all....
hello, likewise don't have it yet
like a judge or lawyer would do (n4 form of a verb re6) if they had a conflict
ah thanks carla
re7 is a form of what a judge does to dismiss himself from a case and there Carla clues yet again
ty carla, molly....
had to take a quilting break, my leg is starting to hurt. had to switch to left foot pedaling
I wish I could sew a straight line. I love quilts.
you could make picasso quilts, which i just made up
well,I struggle with straight lines, so I usually do free motion quilting
Now that sounds like it's in my skill set Leslie :D
mmm hmm if anyone criticizes just tell them it's an abstract work
Origami and I come from the same place. I also cannot sew a straight line.
i am still afraid of the sewing machine... :o|
And in the brief time I attempted to use sewing machines, they either jammed or quit working as I approached.
well that's just rude on their part
One of my friends is a very good seamstress and another is an avid quilter. They have both tried to teach me. Most recently one said to me that it would seem I was hopeless.
I think there are some things we are just not meant to do. I am very good at cooking and writing. Sewing has just never been my thing.
i have done needlepoint, embroidery, crewel, crocheting and knitting.....no sewing....
I do crochet.
i used to....did a lot of doily type stuff....never enjoyed working with wool....
I tried knitting once. That was a disaster. : D
Tx for re7!
i like that it's portable.....and sometimes pretty mindless if I want it to be....
I can't knit either. I am just not coordinated enough.
I learned to cross stitch at bible school when I was a kid. just learned to sew/quilt in the last 10 years. have never knitted, needlepoint, crewel, crochet or anything. those seem hard.
knitting can be easy or hard, depending on what you are knitting...
A friend's mother taught me to crochet 40 years ago... I still do the straight double stitch line but have blankets for all but my youngest grandkids... well, I haven't done one for the great but the boys will need theirs first, lol. Everything else (from cross stitch to French braiding) I taught myself...
haven't tried knitting altho a dear friend got me a starter kit when I hit 40, lol. Still want to pick that one up.
took a workshop in crocheting a rope basket when i was in the Outer Banks last year.....that was fun....
That would be cool.
Oh my God, French braiding is another thing I never got.
it was fun.....can make the baskets different sizes with same technique...
Molly, I taught myself that (on my own hair, no less) because I determined that if "they" could do it, I could, too... another high school thing...
I admire the dexterity. Also the dexterity of anyone who can do the small, dreadlocks braiding that takes hours.
Pen, I'll have to look at some examples online. I presume they'd be washable) which would be better than rattan/woven baskets gathering dust, lol. thanks for that thought.
can someone please clue the ad 6?
if you make them with cotton yarn, then I assume they would be washable....
Molly, that I cannot do. I have fat fingers, lol. Even with fingernails no joy... If I could, I could make some side $$, I'm sure, lol again.
Ad + not a verb
my ad6 is opposite of a verb.
ty....don't remember seeing that one...
I swear, I try yoda every single time. I mean, I know but can't help but enter it, lol.
i am done....
yay, pen! enjoy the rest of your day!
ty....i am off....goodnight all....
Ok. Done, not finished but I'm tired of typing the same letter combos over and over... I hate that I didn't even clear 100 but so be it. Everyone have a most wonderful evening (or whatever it is, where ever you are!). To all, please be safe.
I learned to french braid my own hair in high school but cannot do it now. one of my camping friends can so occasionally I make her do mine.
Can someone please drop me a clue for the si 7?
si/7 - to call off work when feeling unwell
Ah, thank you april.
You are very welcome :)
Clue for am 6 pretty please
am/6 - it is a law word...an impartial advisor on a court case
Ty got it
One word left clue for mi 6 the ladt
Mi
Last mi
I don't have it yet either :{
mi 6 sounds like error + unit of food energy
Thank you!!
Ty got it
You're welcome.
clue please for the re7
nm
when a judge has a personal reason he can't hear a case
