yes
bo7x2
crashing here -- good night everyone
goes with the 9, there is only one fo8
but hmm, what can the other bo7 be
tisn't another plural, cause it is the only b i have left and i haven't got another 6 to pluralize
name that proper noun! when he was a lad, he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large
Hurshy, it ends in a dble vowel
well so does my six that i pluralled for a 7
so hmmm
Try putting a measure of weight in the middle of the word
thank you
YW!
Donot
Bedtime for me now; luckily thatwas’t a word.

Thank you!

Drive by today...Didn't make 100. Maybe back later.
Another busy day for Bea
50 to go! still no 8s and 9s. must get caffeinated. bbl
I hate grids like this with all the same letters together
I wonder if the 8 and or 9 are compound words related to the thing at the end of your leg, cause I sure can't find more than 2 words there
aha!
is this clue blurting?
There is a compound 8 starting with f. Not got the other 8 or 9 yet
I just found fo8/9 combo
so either you need to make yours pl. or the other 8 is also compound f
It didn’t like that 9 before
haha, you must've typed too fast
Gaston!
Or missed a letter
you forgot to say NTPN and give us a clue, godthaab
or did someone already do that and I missed it and you were just answering?
wow, finished the first S
hello all
howdy
30 left after 1st pass
only found 1 7 though and still have 1 8 left
there goes the 2nd S!
Looks like we are playing Jeopardy and not Name That Proper Noun today. Who is the antagonist in Beauty And The Beast?
heh ty for the 8/9. can't believe I missed that
ding ding ding! molly wins jeopardy!
alright 22 left .must get ready for my workout. TTFN.
Yeah Harry, especially since Carla blurted them earlier : D
blurting is hurting
today is mole day!
usually celebrate in school with lots of food. yesterday I sent them home with goody bags and we'll celebrate on zoom
don't forget to exercise your right to participate in the election, because there are still underage humans in these wiry structures...if you can afford it, have a good cause become the recipient of your largess. The challenging day will come in a hurry,. Also, think of those who fought in our interminable wars not as suckers and losers. That's as many clues as I can fit into the narrative.
Happy Mole Day Harry 6.02 x 10^23
I love it when people say "go vo4" when they actually mean vo4 for my preferred candidate
Oh, and election night is usually a big happening, and maybe a few of us can sit 6-8 feet apart )compromise here.
I went libertarian again this year.
It's all in the Grid.
It's all in the Grid.
Power to the Libertarians, right on
Libertarian? Hope you don't live in a swing state.
protest vote - a vote for the dems is meaningless in MA
besides the fact that I'm terrified of 4 years with a dem controlled WH, Senate and House.
Oh, I've done that in boston in the past, during the Clinton Years, but now I vote as if it matters. . Where in MA are you?
Good opinion article in NY Times today. It's by Paul Krugman. Ayn Rand kills Americans
newton.
I will have to read that - ty bichon.
she was a loony
Harry- oops- My terror is opposite of yours. My terror is to have more of what we've been having.
Ayn Rand- phooey!
Always read Paul Krugnan
imagine if the republicans had all three right now!
it will be just as bad, in the opposite direction
Anyway my narrative had basic grid words in it, via simile.
yah - I get it.
but the crazies on both sides need to be tempered. balance of parties is essential
I've overused NY times - it's not letting me see. I'll try to find it elsewhere
https://tinyurl.com/y3a2prcp
classtime - bbl
ty bichon. will check later
may i have stats for the middle column first t pls?
Good article
Would I be correct in assuming most people here are republicans?
i think it's about 50/50 god
Just wondering......
No, this is the most liberal democrat place I visit on the internet.
mlf - think it is to4/4 but not sure
Don’t forget that there are a lot of babble users outside of the US, where politics are quite different...
it is to4/7 mlf
could use stats for the right lone T
That is true Buggie, but people outside the US tend to weigh in on our politics landing on one side or another.
ts6 phaeton
ty rasta
lol, I thought everyone here was dem
21 now. 2nd time I missed that ts this week
d's demolished. 19 left!
ooh, there's the last T!
It's nice that we can all talk to each other, most of the time.
there was a character in Welcome Back Kotter named Hotsey Totsey.
I slightly remember that
Horschack was claiming to be the father of her unborn child, I think
Missing one T from the corner as well
mine was a to5
yes!
Ts done :)
hard to see for some reason
with sometimes vowel? that was it
yep

funny
I'm way behind you. still 40 here. gotta go cook - bbl
bye!
ah, my last y was in stock finally ( a little clue blurt) :D
Blurting, it's a compulsion for some.
I have nothing left to blurt, as I'm stuck at 16 left

I think we are taking the dog to walk at the whitewater center. BBL. HH will be finished when I get back.

Harry, the multi-tasker, is cooking and playing at the same time.
got the rice, cauliflower done. stew in the crockpot
kids getting flu shots at 3.
Sounds good Harry.
One of the TV shows I watch starts a new season next week. I am very curious to see how TV and film are going to deal with COVID.
I have to find a new show to watch. I should start Schitt's creek.
I just can't refer to it in polite conversation
found my last O!
haven't left yet...what's the last o?
ends with the scottish monster
ends with the scottish monster
geysa: what boston tourists at yellowstone say: look at the geysa!

Happy Friday everyone
Gorgeous day here in Massachusetts
biggest phantom ever: toot
if anyone's around and has it, i could use a clue for en8
sorry, don't have it yet....
hiya pen
hi...
en8 en + what comes before res and mis on the musical scale + Lipton drink
thanks molly, now i don't feel bad that i couldn't find it! :D
ty, Molly...
and now i can't spell anything with my remaining missing words because that was my last one that started with a vowel
It's a membrane in the brain. : D
insane in the membrane insane in the brain!
4/8 remaining words are S
I was just going to mention Cypress Hill
any sy words?
no, there aren't, hurshy
name that proper noun! region in southern Israel
Negev
ding ding ding!!!
as you might gather from that, i am missing an N word
she said and then pulled a peri
lol
Phantom - nosegay
one key in this grid is to try things that normally you think of only as ending in -y but alternately spelled ending in -ey
Which is probably no longer a politically correct term
i don't think there is any notion of PC about it - just cultural irrelevance, since people don't tend to buy them much anymore
woot, down to two S now
one...
That little pointer (about the ey) is brought to you by Hurshy's Babble Tips. Enriching your Babble experience daily.
:D
Florists, especially ones who do weddings, use the term nosegay all the time.
last S is from the one that has 22 so it could have a lot of possible second letters
nosegay has been my phantom word on this grid!
i still think toot is more glaring
s5, s5, where art thou my pretty s5
aHA
done
oops sorry, i meant, uh, finished.
congrats...
sn?
and congrats!
i am taking a break.....bbl to find my last 40....bye all....
it was an se5, as it turned out
there are 5 sn if you're asking
no, was suggesting, but no point now, haha
i thought you were but figured just in case...
Damn, there she goes again. Just because you are finished doesn't mean you are beyond being sent to the PB
neener, neener, Molly said a word, too... ;p
I live in the PB. Someone has to mix the drinks for all the people who get sent there.
morning all
moo!
rehi, y'all
hey hoke, we made it to another friday
who woulda thunk it
yep, whether we knew it was friday or not
how's the fire there?

fireworks!!
Well our one hasn't been a problem since Saturday night, but a new one kicked up Wednesday night further away
Estes Park now has two major fires, the Cameron Peak and the East Troublesome one...the latter grew 100,000 acres in one night
Congrats, Marksdolly!
I heard Estes Park was evacuated but didn't remember where you are
it's barely above freezing here today, and a good deal of snow forecast on Sunday, so hopefully they can keep it under control until then
Sorry to hear that, Mool.

I don't have any, bichon
4-8 inches forecast for Sunday, and they've moved the forecast up for Monday to 23F as the high, so that's an improvement

yep, then eye parts
good morning everyone -- we woke up to snow this morning and it's still coming down in big fluffy flakes 2.5" later. This is the earliest snowfall in my memory for the Okanagan by at least a month. Thank goodness I cut back the daisies, marguerites and peonies yesterday, but I do have roses blooming in the snow!
oh my, morning nan
hey nan...well we have you beat by about 6 weeks on the snow :)
this must be eye parts I'm not familiar with
perhaps so, didn't think it was that uncommon
I mean it's less common that lens, pupil, retina...but still
any sy? still have that one S on the side
No sy
maybe I will need the stat of one
can't think of any eye parts starting with fo either
well they're mostly easy on that part
fo stats?
yes
fo5/22 and fo6/36
yep, never heard of those
thx
oh, sorry
that which did gimble in the wabe doth appear here
they're pretty common in word games I play, perhaps not so much here
twas brillig
but I still need 1 F, is it related to those?
oh, you mean the mimsy toves?
rather slithy, I think
rather slithy, I think
THEM!
oh yes, the borogroves were mimsy
cowardly little things, the borogroves
no, the other fo would be playing with your peds
okay, need to step away for a bit...still 6 to go, but a break may help
hmm, not footsy, footsee, or footsey
bye moo! I'm sure I won't finish while you're gone
5 ped related, 2 eye related
well I might if I break down and go to the list :D
3G, 1F, 1S
haha, 'twas all around it. F finished!
can't look in alt. directions
finally found my last S! was also my last 4.

I only found it using the point total nan
yes just found them that way also --- very strange words
yep

but that is not the actual def
ty carla
np
STUCK ON THE EN/ 8 ??
will look for it - do you know the points?
If this weren't a world-wide game (and marvelous that is, too!), I'd think Dr. God was doing a bit of electioneering.
En + spanish two + fave british drink
en 8 / 45
stuck on these 3 G's!
thanks une
ty une
missing one s
any sy's?
Yw :-)
is it the ge 6/24 and 7/36, carla?
Tx for do6!!
yes, just went to the list. the other is a 5.
I swear I had tried that 5 multiple times
the 6 ends with an "also" word, then pl. guess you have them already, though.
finally monkeyed them
oh, but thanks!
of course dictionary shows that as a proper noun
carla, those dictionary pages have lots of empty space. If you keep scrolling down, you'll come on one definition that says "(not always capital)"
still no tooneys
no looneys either
t's trounced
C nan go, go nan go!
ah, thx, jwr.
my pleasure
o's outed
in the groove, girl... on with it!
need one more v to grey the top 3 rows
ha - missed the singular electoral word
I was talking about that before...
Is it electioneering if you encourage people to vote? I thought that was just if you encouraged people to vote for a certain candidate.
And yes, I posted vote two times.
down to 17 -- bunch of s's, 5 g's a c and a y -- may have to list soon
and 3 more times just now :)
True, Molly. I couldn't think just then of a way to put it without saying the word
and while I wasn't looking, nan approached the finish line. . . whooosh, there she goes!
nan has come to a halt 16 away from the finish line
well, everyone has to go to the bathroom some time
have you listed already?
not yet - 15 to go now
that's it - get up on that camel and ride, ride, ride!
11
have ga 6 x2 and ge 6 -- is there another g 6?
Nan, are you a camel jockey now? Somehow I just can't picture it.
two ge 6
sorry make that ge 6 x3 (can't see) - is there another g 6?
dada dum, dada dum, dada dum Dum DUM .... dada dum, dada dum, DADA Dum dum dum. etc.
There are three ge6. All the ga words are 4
you're right, 3, haha
missing one g -- must be a 4 or a 5 then
can't stick around to watch Nan beat the grid. It's sleep time for me. Daynite, all! I'm off.
bye jwr
do you have the art word
ge 5? - yess
Sorry, you didn't ask for a clue. With fo in mouth, i go
bye
would be happy for a clue right now - any strange g 4's or 5's?
or are there more than 3 g/6?
There are only three g6
missing one g and 5 x s from the 2nd column
Do you have the plural of not ladies that uses a two letter plural addition
do you have ga4 that's petrol + a consonant?
yes, molly
I always thought that needed an A and an H to work, haha
yes rbud
the white canvas "paint" used in art?
ge 5
Do you have g + old gas station name?
that's the one, haha
c
the one I meant, also
I think...
WIth all this guessing it would probably be easier if Nan just looked at the list : D
yes - that is the art word
probably - but with only 5 left....
The one that sounds like where the sun rises with a g at the beginning
gold star for molly :) ty
Well, we only had a few more it could possibly be., We have guessed just about all of them.
s 4 and s 5 x2 from 2nd column now
guess I will need to list for the last 3 --- too bad :( Just hope they aren't fishy
1 that i knew, 1 unknown and 1 babblet we haven't seen for quite a while.

Pen, you are just stomping them at the flip. Good for you. : D
lol....not so good....means i can't sleep!
i am no competition for some of those who show up at the flip....
Waaaahhhh I think it's an st5 I'm missing :-(
i just found a twisty st 5....ordinary word that i didn't see before....
I'm convinced that some of those flip people read the dictionary for fun. The words they find in a heartbeat are the weirdest ones.
yes, they are very impressive....
i am pretty good at finding word families....it's how my brain works, i guess.....but my vocabulary for odd words is not very good....
St5/12 I think

EN 8 PLA?
PLS?
Don't have that TO
I'm missing an 8, must be that one.
Does anyone have a clue for the second bo7?
I have what babies wear on their feet.
I have one after that why - ends in a word for a woman's maiden name.
*wht rather
ty origami. Looks like a misspelled science class.
So now all I have left is the mysterious en8
wht, I had to go look at chat hiistory, but here is a clue for that en8...
finish + a 5 letter word that sounds like the start of a latin bone word
Thanks nrkii. I finally went to Morewords. Looks like it should be the last bone.
If you need a clue for the en8, let me know :)
od7, please?
found it thanks
no6, please?
od7 not even and ends with a ne4
seems like ai gave myself a clue. no6, please?

I don't have it yet, either - sorry
no6 - no + how you measure medicine
thanks, april
i vo4d on 28 September this year.
I hope all the Americans playing will vote this election.
oops
I'm voting on Monday seain. I didn't want to put mine in the mail, so am taking it to a voting center.
yay! there was a long line for in-person absentee voting when we turned in our absentee ballots in the dropbox at our county board of elections.
In some ways, I guess that is a good thing. During the mid-term elections, I stood in line almost 2 hours to vote. I am going to go for voting early from now on.
at this point, almost half of all registered voters nationally have already voted.
That's a very good thing!!!
it is indeed! the more of us who vote, the better the we are represented.
I can only imagine how people around the world who have no real voting rights feel about how people in the US don't exercise that right.
en8, please?
i've no clue, i'm still looking for it.
Ditto
oh, inside, a letter, and a drink made from leaves
ts6 fly
i need to sleep. Happy babbling, yall!
en8 = en + spanish for two + common Brit hot beverage
in ca4 the other hint didn't click
ge 7/36?

yay, finito
