Hello ((Rose))
How are things with you?
hanging on by my finger tips. two more days and i will have the nerve stimulator put in. unfortunately mobility badly effected by lockdown.
and you? dear man?? and your folks?? i hope you are safe from the wretched cv-19
Sorry to hear you are still suffering, Rose. I hope the nerve stimulator will help you.
thanx mate
We are still plodding along thanks for asking. No covid for us thank goodness. No local lockdown here either although parts of the UK do have local restrictions. A national policy of no more than six members in a house together here. That is fine for us.
well done zooz. no mean feat to keep yourself and your folks free from infection.
Been using plenty of masks and high alcohol sanitizers .
How is, Don doing? finished your kitchen yet lol
be careful of high alcohol ones eg over 70% over that usually means there is wood methyl in it.
that's the joke of the century...it's either too cold, too wet, and now it's fast becoming too hot.
And that is bad because?
Ah the man excuses coming out I see. I think a kick up the backside is in order then lol
because it's a poison. if you do use higher % wash your hands well after.
Oh! would not thought they would be allowed to sell it if it is that bad! Thank you will tell mt sister to be careful too.
as for a kick up the bum, i don't think there is an item number for removal of a shoe from a backside.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i hate to say this, but the higher % ones are usually chinese made.
I just looked mine is 70%
i suggest you check the ratings for sanitisers perhaps on "snopes". that's a fact checking site.
at least i made you laugh.
You always make me smile, Rose!
How is, Sprite doing...Do you know?
ummm... perhaps you had better be careful if/when you meet me in person.
Sprite is still recoverig very slowly from cv-19. last i heard she was allowed to walk for 5 minutes four times/day. poor little thing has been one very sick puppy.
Well with all this crap going on I think I am safe for quite a while LOL
as for the tiny house, Rob has been prefabricating walls etc, ready to put together as soon as they find a suitable piece of land.
Did she get it again then. The last time I spoke to her on here I thought she was much better from it and was out and about?
she is utterly drained of energy zooz. but she may have picked up a tad since i last spoke to her.
It will be good when they get that house made on a piece of land. Being couped up in a tiny caravan thingy is not good for ones health I am sure.
we zoomed a few weeks ago. i hope i can talk to her when i come home from the hospital.
Still having your wine or are you not allowed?
not often you see a brand of Aussie toilet paper in the grid
did you hear about her latest fall? fell off a 2" step. cracked her elbow. i offered to endover all the bubble wrap we have stored.
Hello, Rolin :-)
hey zoom
NOTHING comes between me and my red wine...loll just try it.
cooee rolin
That lady needs to be more careful. Bless her.
Okay my time is up. Very nice to catch up with you, Rose. Love to you all. Happy babbling everyone!
Rob had us in stitches with his reply. he worked out how much he need to wrap her up, saying that he would unwrap her once a week for a shower, then wrap her up again.
hugs and cyber kisses dear zooz.
Morning all. Would anyone kindly give me stats for the i (eye) in the last column?
is 6
Got it, thanks!
yw
hi all. found an8 all by myself!
li8 is what I found
Gold star for Peri
Good morning, peri.
:)
Hello, Molly.
any one have the 2nd se 6?
I have a speech given in church
not sure if that is 2nd one
ding ding - thank you :)
yw
Morning Bea. It's a brisk, cool one here.
Man, the L's were a pain in the ass
I still have many of them left.
I nave a feeling the B's are going to be just as weird
I have seven of the Ls and 19 of the Bs. We have friends round for dinner tonight and I'm cooking a posh chilli, so I rather doubt I'll finish today
Ooo, posh chili. Does that mean you hold your pinky up when you eat it?
what's a posh chili
i wonder how many people tried the word remorse?
Not quite - it's a Delia Smith recipe - uses actual steak rather than mince, loads of coriander (cilantro), fresh chili, black beans - just a bit more faff than your average chilli con carne. You strip the leaves off the coriander and use the stalks in the cooking and the leaves are used at the end, so way more chopping and, well faff. But it's yummy. You brown the meat, flour it etcetcetc
hmm.. sounds good
Sounds very good, matty.
i love coriander
We had fish and chips last night.
https://bit.ly/3nfZKN1
I'm using rump steak
one of my fav meals bzz
I'm also using tinned beans, because life is too short to soak beans
And...er...premade guac and salsa
And...er...premade guac and salsa
So maybe not that posh ;)
you had me at Rump matty :D
seriously.. it does sound good.
is6 clue pls?
I've made it before (always cheating), though once I made it for someone who failed to tell me they hated coriander (cilantro). Awks!
i + not all + consonant = is6
hi dan ty
hi yw
first column bottom e stats pls?
More creepy, I think (and I know - PB for me)
thanks matty
thought I had an 8 with more so6 but NO
I have one 8 (Li8) but I don't have the nine...
The is Spanish.
I'm just making good ole un-posh beef stew
The 9
We are grilling chicken breasts tonight.
I can count to 10 in spanish and say a few words, but that's it. I have the spanish Mr
yeah, my first thought when she said that was spanish mrs since i had the mr but it's only 8 and not there
Think hat.
You know this Spanish word Matty
Ah hah! Thanks both!
ah, very similar to my so8 that isn't accepted
Also no A's so Spanish Mrs. not possible
Hey, I keep seeing 'horrible' and there's no H and no double R either, so go figure ;)
thus the phantom word
all about that bass bout that bass
I love that song.
phantom mobile
Name that Proper Noun: exploding candy
well here it's pop rocks or something, but I don't see that
I don't know pop rocks...... but no....... sorry
phantom torment
oh, just got that li8 matty was talking about
Never heard of an exploding candy other than Pop Rocks
it explodes when you mix it with something else...
I think godthaab is in canada or england IIRC. they always have different candy.
ah, mentos
I don't really think of mentos as candy LOL
hello...clue for be6/33 pls
Hokie - Very Excellent!!! You win a bottle of coke!
woot woot!
oh, I thought mentos was a candy. I don't eat them myself.
I think they're more of a mint/candy
ok
sore
per their website "prepackaged scotch mints" whatever that means
SORRY!!!!!
be6 is unconsolable
ty Bea
yw
thx bea
hokie - no wonder I never eat them.....
does scotch mints mean you eat them when you drink scotch?
scotch mints are covered in a hard coating.
like a scotch egg is covered in a coating?
and... prepackaged from ??? How can you pack something before it is packed?
yes
Are they packaged before they become scotch? Are they originally Irish?
er8 clue pls
oh, I have no idea what that could be. looking now.
capable of being washed away - er8
snap
Was typing as you posted, dan.
great minds :-)

we're ok for now Scrabs.. thank you
the worst of it is way up valley
Phew.
ok, made at least halfway on each tile but still have 69 left
I'd make a joke about being stuck at 69, but thought better of it
I almost tried real hard to find just one more word
the b's and L's were the worst of this thing to me
yeah, those 2 on 4th row are the 2 I'm missing the most on. need 11 B and 10 L

Bye, Bea. Enjoy the day.
hello friends!
hi
howdy, trif
Hi Trif! How is your school year going?
i am a weekend babbler now....
:-(
my new job is SO GREAT Scrabbler, I can't even describe how happy I am!
oh, is this the weekend?
Yay! I am so happy for you.
oh, what are you doing now?
I was ruminating over our journeys, scrabbler - when we met, I had JUST left mr. hate behind, and you were with dr. Richard. How long ago that seems now!
Yes, we made choices, learned lessons, suffered, and improved our lives.
And his name was Dr Richard Head.
ohhh I well remember!
me too
help with re8 please
I left 11 years ago last week and continue to hear about his bad behavior.
that must be my missing 8, will look but probably not find, peri
I am teaching 8th grade English this year, hokie - in MY OWN classroom, at long last!
do you know which r?
Woohoo!
nice!
no , not using list
is he a bad doctor? I mean, does he provide a quality standard of care?
but you need r's from each tile? you haven't finished one? I just need one from bottom r. could be that one.
No, he makes the parents happy, so he overprescribes antibiotics and stimulants.
I have the r's from bottom row
ok, then it's from the other r
oh good lord
ah, to set something straight again or put back on the path
ty looking
Dr. Dick Head?
or to get your bearings once again....
like if you're hiking and you get lost you might use a compass to re8
I have SUCH a tough case this year - this poor kiddo CANNOT keep still for two seconds, sends every assignment in blank, because he is too impulsive to actually do the work first, and he has no parents - lives with older siblings. The fact that he even comes to school at all is a miracle
ty carla
TY
wow, that does sound rough
ty pen
yw...
np
I assume the school SW is involved? The kid is likely sleep deprived and poorly nourished, i.e. junk food
can someone please give me the STATS for the E in the lower left corner?
el4/5
nope, the other left
spookier, I think
ee 6.18

Is that your only n? I am missing 2 so I don't know if it's a combo
it's my last word - there's only one n7
yeah, but I wondered if there was a 6 with a pl. but you would have tried that
I'm not seeing it, what is the point total?
no7 - French for name, then four letters at the start of a word meaning fantastic, amazing, diamond-like.
no7/40, its has to be before no4 no + pronoun
thanks Haz and lickety and all cluers - that's firewords!

TWSS, that's what she said. So hard to type that big, long phrase.
missing an 8 - anyone want to guess which one?

I still need 2 s there

and I did TWSS because I didn't want to get in trouble :D
ok - just got below 80 - time to list

ok, throwing in the towel and going to the list. just too slow going now.

I will go to the list pretty soon
I found a be5 (think Elaine from Seinfeld) that I thought was just a babblet, one word, but no, there is a singular.
I just found that one

also missed the one that is my kid's name plural. I usually get that.
bye!
eros
and the cheese, my goodness

I have a Dwarf, and the name that is written on olkiens Grave
I did one earlier, not tolkien. haven't really noticed them.
Tolkiens*

yep

thom tillis

It is a freedom word without the s at the end
li 5/14
I had to look that one up. a 5!
it looks like plural of people with birthdays today (zodiac)
ahhh ok
i tried every other possible combo that makes 14 points, i think
lol
today is my mom & niece's birthdays
Sorry, it's a book word
same, I tried them all too. did not try that apparently.
My Latin is sketchy at best
LOL, the dictionary link takes you to like 3 other links

i was making a Doctor Who reference
it turned out to have another interpretation that i did not plan lol
the character Ro4 is the bad wolf
:)
Mexican hat
Matty is giving out free clues
That is a fabulous thing! Thanks, matty!
I can't beleive the er8 is a word.
Matty is fabulous. And she makes posh chili.
Chili! Love it.
Hey Champ! I'll take a clue for the er8 please... how are you doing? Have you recovered from your taxing week?
Have a glass of wine, and am attempting to wind down as we speak! The er8 builds off the er5. Or the 4.
not enough of a clue for me - i am just not as savvy at figuring things out as most babblers are :(
it ends like the Tom Cruise movies - Mission Im********
Crud, now I have that stupid theme song in my head!
Ha! got it. thx!
Yay!
when did Brandi move back up here? she and Chad seem to play ping pong between Tomball and Edmond
NO JOKE!!! She used me to buy a house in Northpointe several years ago. We looked and looked, and wrote 3 offers before we found "the one". 3 months later, she put it on the market, with the agent we bought it from...didn't even call me!
Then she kept looking here, and when she came back, not even a phone call. I think she was renting in Gettysburgh. That lasted, what, a year? Back to OK.
She doesn't even post about it anymore. I really think she's got her own mental issues.
yikes! she posts so much crap on fb - kinda makes my head spin (and stomach turn) ... i like her, but i can't get sucked in to her agenda
The amount of money they've spent moving has to be huge. It's not a small thing to do, with a house full of kids. I feel for them!
You definitely have to look away...otherwise you'll get sucked into the abyss!
i feel for her, having to deal with a severely autistic child, but she holds nothing back on fb, which irritates me (actually, ANYONE who posts a whole lot on fb irritates me, lol)
Having just sold Grant's little house (and paying realtor fees), made me thing of all the money they surely must have thrown away over the last 7-8 years.
*think
Yes, she's very opinionated. But what she does, (and tried to do to me) is talk a lot, with FEELING and authority, as if that makes it true. She kept trying to fast talk me into doing deals that weren't going to work. You have to really stand back and listen to hear what lies underneath.
And the movers! And even if you rent, 1st and last months rent! It's not cheap at all.
Her husband is a saint, clearly.
I like him. We found the home they bought here together. Super guy.
Bert and I keep ping-ponging between selling our current house and down-sizing to a new home on our acreage. Just the thought is exhausting. I can't imagine packing up and actually moving that many times
are you still in the same house in LG?
So many of us in the same boat. Pay more for less house, or stay put in the paid for house.
Yes, 14 years now. Updated and good to go. But everything is right here! And of course, my mom and Bill's day. They're minutes away, and 86 and 87 respectively. No sense in moving away from them.
*dad
our water bills are EXORBITANT here. seriously - water usage and waste water fees for August were $724!!!!!!! The other summer months (since June) have been no less than $500 .... we want to drill a water well for irrigation and pool. even if we move in the next 2 years, i think it would be a great selling point.
Good grief! Why are they so high?
we just retrofitted the attic with foam insulation, so hopefully electricity costs will go down. it's sickening to pay what amounts to a mortgage in monthly utilities
Edmond is expanding rapidly and the costs of infrastructure have to come from somewhere....
Well that sucks. The irrigation sounds like a great idea, and you can never have too much insulation. All good moves.
We'll move eventually, because our master is up. The older we get, the dumber that is.
yes, but in the meantime, the interior needs to be updated! But I can't justify changing carpet and painting woodwork while I've got 3 crazy canines running around
help with be7 please
It's a plural peri. Do you have the 6?
no
be5/14
Agreed. Our master is down, but there are 3 beds, 3 baths and 2 game rooms up. Once we get Hunter out of the house, we'll be living in only about a third of the square footage
don't have the be5 either
oh found the 6 and 7
ty
and the 5
Dang! I had a genius clue for you! ;)
Well, don't waste your good clue! Give it to me!
Misspelled abdomen is the 5
Was it a crap clue after all?
sorry, had to dash out to the driveway. a friend came to pick up some donated clothing for her organization
got 'em! thanks Susan :)
first fi7 please
i've got to dash now. we're going out to eat dinner this evening with a couple who likes to eat EARLY! Take care! "See" you another time....
Enjoy!
That's the one I don't have, peri. Been all around it and then put it on the back burner.
peri, i don't list, so i don't know if it's first or not, but the only fi7 i have is fi7/44 ... plural of folks who record movies
There's one before it...I checked.
that is the second one
Before the "one who does" I mean.
fi7 - a hazelnut
aaaahhh, thanks april! :)
got it ty april
:)
Thank you!
OK, that's absolutely it for me... adios babblers!
Adios!

it's interesting how different people use different strategies to attack a grid....
I tried liberate, but that doesn't work
sometimes I use the alphabet forwards, sometimes backwards, all depends on how I feel
Bich, ...... and Justice for all
ty Aussie
I start at the top left corner and work my way down, basically a row at a time, up and down.
i start in a corner and try to exhaust the possibilities of an area and then move to another area....
I start with the letter in the top left hand corner and work my way along the rows trying to get at least one word per letter
Exactly. Do a first pass then go back for the ones I missed.
I always find it hard at the flip to do anything other than that when others are trying to find the longer words
I work it all different kinds of ways and never feel like I have to announce a finished letter or fireworks. Everyone plays it different.
As you know, I lurk more often than not. I do like to mention FW when they happen, just to mark the occassion.
i don't go row by row at all.....just area by area....
oh i post when i am done also....gives me a little closure.... ;o)
I wonder what the difference is? Guess I'm more regimented in my approach. Do you pick up more than one french fry when you eat them? ;) Now I'm curious!
not usually....one at a time...
We just do what we do!
Well, M's Mashed
lots of Ms today!
There was penq
FW, finally! Any clues before I go?
no thanks....i am almost done....
Congrats!

yes, congrats, champ!
Grats Champ!
