First three, a shortening of Mr Onassis' first name.
argh!! thank you!
I seem to have hit a wall with 123 left
need a clue?
that sounded kinda rude - sorry
You're all good!
I'm now at 120 left but every word is a trial. I may step away for a bit and see if inspiration hits later
I agree with Italangreyhound, the MUs were an adventure!
I have the 8s, but only seven of the 7s
I have no 8s :(
a lot of them are ME words
OK thank u
Yeah, I do have 2 ME7s

Make that 10
Add and H to the last MU4
Yep, that's the one I was missing - thanks!
Only one M left from that top left M
any stats?
I haven't properly listed, so don't know. It's ok. As I say, I may step away for a bit and come back later. But thank you!
*Wonders if there is a way to improperly list : D
ha ha ha Molly
Absolutely. I'll let you know when I find it
oh, there's a german grocery store
Aldi
yes, but I didn't see that one, was going for the other one
(haven't made it to the A yet)
I was just thinking about you after I saw how many A's there are today.
eek
Lidl
ding ding ding!
and I'll give Bea some dings too since she wasn't wrong
What is it with the Germans and grocery stores
I need to gander around there some day when I'm in the big city.
I'm not a big fan of either, Bea. They are okay if you buy a lot of non brand name stuff I guess
I love Aldis.
I've been fairly close to an aldi for like 18 years but have only been like 3x. I now have a lidl about 10 min away and have been there about 3x.
I shop there every week.
I like lidl better than aldi but aldi does have more GF products
Well, you can never have too many girlfriend products
LOL
LOL!
hello all

oops
Girlfriend Pancake Mix...for when you need someone to listen to your sob story while you st4 the batter
no, I'm a soprano
me too, but I always sing al4 on Xmas hymns
I used to sing al4 when I was younger
I couldn't sing soprano if I tried. Al4 all the way. I think my range is about an octave and a quarter.
back when I used to go to church I would try it on other hymns because I can read music, but I have trouble doing harmonies without the sheet music
also, the church here went away from hymnals and just put words on the big screen
Name that proper noun...famous Yankee baseball player
I sang in church choirs for a lot of years, then I directed our church choir for 15 years. I can sing some of all parts.
not jeter
ok, found 17 of the top A, Bea... moving on.
Wow! I only have 4.
Jeter was hilarious on Saturday Night Live, dressed as a woman saying that Derek Jeter looked like a muppet and The Rock had a baby
well obviously you haven't worked on it yet!
I missed that. Did you ever see The Other Guys with Will Ferrell and Marky Mark? I just watched that again the other night. There's a backstory that Marky Mark shot Jeter during game 7 of the World Series. pretty hilarious movie IMO.
wow, where are these s's
itallic - when your slanted letters are tall
eatfull - what you're going to do/how you're going to feel on Thanksgiving
Poor Roger Maris, no one remembers him
sorry, of course I do, but there are so many famous yankees I was going to have to see it in there
didn't they make a movie with Barry Pepper (from Saving Private Ryan) playing him?
ooh, lower left H gray!
a tiny hint for the kh, please?
Could I have the stats for the k please
didn't know there was one, will look
like the chinos, lindy, but change last cons.

There are 2 ks

thanks carla
Thanks
just found the russian ruler, bea!
I'm struggling today.
tora
Opps.
out of all the non nouns allowed to be pluralized, I'm surprised ta4 is not. it can be a noun as well as an adj.
I have found a lot of words... but less than half
I still have 143 left. just over 3/5 of the way through first pass.
Got to just over half
I get to a point where I completely forget what I've already entered, and keep typing repeats. Today it's at 160 found.
hi all, not usually here at this time- 1am Oz time.. insiomnia has hit...67 left
yikes
and hi
k stats?
8am, mlfan
Just clue
wow, can only find 4 of the lower A, bea
ty got it
I am down to the last 13 and all is now looking like I am going to head in direction of a glass of wine...... :/
wow, good job
lol... Thank you :)
okay, 112 left now, finished first pass. 2 tiny tiles grayed.
still have 25 4's left so that should keep me busy. will retry every 4 I think I got because they always disappear on big grids.
so close to having mustache
in the grid :D
Glad you aded that.
everyone quarantines differently ;-)
I know how you people are ;)
carla is growing a mustache?
ooh, top e gray!
ha!
;)
i am gettin gold. every day, my body provides some new phenomenon. :)
amazing, isn't it
that's one way to descibe it. and since we are at home, it's a never ending process.
found the th 8
nice, mlfan. I also have me8 but don't have the 3rd
mlfan, did you have bad flooding?
i have the th8
The other 8 is an me also
i have no 8s .
hokie no we didnt have any how about you>?
since we're sharing.
me either, owl
th8 is easy to find
yeah, there was a lot of creek flash flooding here. I wasn't sure how close you are to the Yadkin River.
we have a river near us but it didnt flood
not concentrating. planning the day., and checking out my items that are o consigenment on etsy
how far are you from the yadkin river?
we got like 5" in just a few hours
5 inches?
wow, remnants of eta?
it's not that close, about an hour north, where it flooded that campground. I thought you were about an hour north of me.
yes, 5 inches of rain
wow
'morning, all
hi welki
we are closer to the Catawba River, that's what makes Lake Norman
hokie i am an hour from charlotte
hi welk
how far are you from hiddenite? that's where the campground got hit. it must be more west than you.
did you have tornados or just flooding rain?
just flooding rain
less han an hour
than
we did have thunderstorms too.
we heard thunder twice
wwe may get thunderstorms tomorrow evening. cold front.
we are in a battle with the state right now about the drainpipe. long story short, it is completely collapsed under my neighbor's driveway and no one wants to fix it, so it floods our yard every single rain now.
what is up with that hokie?
/?
passing the buck
you can sue them to fix it hokie
Is it on the neighbor's property or in the street?
we may have to end up suing everyone. it's actually in our neighbor's deed that he has to maintain it, but the state has been unclogging it for 12 years, so they probably damaged it but they're saying it was probably damaged when the driveway was put in over it. it is also way too small for the amount of water that goes in it.
there are 4 or 5 drains from the street that meet under his driveway into one 15" pipe that goes down to the crek behind our houses.
we had to threaten to sue our neighbor after asking her to fix her problem that was dumping water on our propery
did you win? because i have been fightint that battle for years. latest is everal grand to fix issue in basement- they have to dig and put in a membrane
we have also struggled to get the HOA involved. they were quick to fine a house that was dumping water somehow onto the golf course but think this is not their problem. even though the fire dept. comes and closes the street now every time it rains.
yes we did .. she put in a drainage system to put the water out on the street like she is required to do by law
that's awful.
well, code does not enforce here. i have called them several ties and she hates me for it. but i tried to reason with her. in cluster housing it is tough
lots were poorly graded and eroded.
If I get nothing else accomplished today, I can say I greyed the A's...
there were tragedies in the household years back and i do not think she has recovered. but now it seems to be a matter of spite. i live on the opposite side of the gate so it's as if it does not exist for the purposes of maintenance.
yeah, we are in the lowest point. they should have done some better grading. I won't buy another house lower than the street.
oh well, time to check out my consignments and then brave the supermarket. happy babbling
well done, bea. I still need 8 + 7 a's
bye TO
i just greyed out the first column that's something for me
wow. still need 8 M, 2 F, 1 i for first column
if anyone is into vintage and collectibles, here is my firend's shop. https://tinyurl.com/y2x2dhf7
does she/he need any barbie collections?
has anyone watched The Queen's Gambit on Netflix? we finished it last night and are sad it is over. So good!
i don't think so. Etsy is not for large,bulky and heavy items. FB marketplace it bette. I am going to open an account there for my larger items.
I quit FB, will just put them on ebay I guess.
visit the shop and you will see what she finds and sells. she is VERY particular re condition and tells you everything about the items.
ok, will check it out
how about local patch?
never heard of that
i am sad to visit but glad my things are getting homes where they are appreicated as i did them
i am begining to go through my vintage and emboridered linens for her to sell.
i love vintage and hand embroidered womens crafts.
i think it's called patch. people put yard sales on it. do you want cash or just to unload?
I just want to unload basically
freecycle? my firends cleard out their home that way.
may try Next Door first so I don't have to ship
i have never heard of that. i will look it up. one thing about FB marketplace is how quickly items go. i hate Fb BUT IT IS USEFUL FOR THIS.
finding some good words now
I just greyed the first column.
yes, there are some nice ones today. later
I was in a sewing machine BST (buy sell trade for ru) on FB before I quit and tried to sell 3 machines but no luck. I did sell the cheapest one on Next Door.
wow, bea. now I just need 8 M, 1 F, & 1 i. so basically I've found one word in that column since ru finished it.
you are missing ih5.14
lol my birth surname is in the grid today!
ah! of course, thx. I have been waiting to find that word since I learned it and now I missed it.
ooh, just grayed the big L
still haven't found the other me8, are the 2 related?
No
from the same M?
No. You have the doctors?
yes
Yes, same M
should I know this? compound?
(20 questions - a game within a game!)
Who said it was a compound?
The other builds from the Olympic souvenoir
no one that I know, I was asking
ok, was just working along that line, thx
I never can spell that word...
I was going to say that but I thought it was a give away
souvenir?
Is that how you spell it?
(spelling)
What you get if you win
I know, I was asking bea if that was her spelling issue. and yes, that is how you spell it.
so you were very close
Mr. Bea picked up 10 more gallons of pecans yesterday.
got it, thx
wow
What do you do with that many pecans?
Give them away.
I was going to say if I liked them I'd take some ;)
I've been cracking them. Mom helps with the picking and sorting. Christmas gifts!
bea, what do you think my missing i from top row is?
il5.12
and phantom lilac. I want that to be my last L so bad.
that is definitely my missing i, now to find it...
not a lot of options for those points...
Just change the last letter of the other 5
duh, thanks
also phantom radial and radical
ooh, right R gray!
Top row grey. Computer needs a rest. May be back for the 139 left...
I am down to 80 but about to break as well.
good morning everyone --- seeing lots of phantoms and proper nouns, but slowing on sthe rest of it
hi nan
omg, my missing F was a 4 I thought I already entered
good morning friends! Nice quiet saturday here - masters is on, so I have the day to myself!
hi trif, was thinking about you as you are in the grid :D
nbt, tra la la

gm trif
good morning! I miss you all!
just a weekend/late night babbler these days
probably better for you ;)
hi all. i like this grid. nice one.
i need no clues! yeah!

118 left and a project to finish today so may list soon
better for my paycheck, for sure!
found a me 7/8
may i have a clue for the re7?
a cheapo store and an expensive car all in one grid :)
i wish that cheap store would be allowed
st 7 thinks my throat's been cut -- bbl
huh?
there is a re6/7 fish that hitch rides on sharks
re7 is a pl. of a 6 that I am pretty sure is in a Jimmy Buffet song.
ok, out for a walk!
*doesn't believe hokie for a minute*
fins to the left, fins to the right...
trying to get half way and finding it harder than first thought.
oops got there.
mortis not in dict. as in riga mortis...........interesting.
ok. 100 left, more than halfway home on every tile and stat. no more than 10 to find on any tile. Time for a break! bbl
rigor mortis is a Latin phrase. Not all Latin is accepted by Enable.
a clue for ta7 please?
Added up
thanks jax
hiya babblers, nice big grid!
hi hurshy
we need a Polly to ask if she wants a cr7
well mkg got stiffed by that no latin thing
hi all help with me7/8 pleae
please even
Think doctor
things to do with doctors and stuff are me7
Nd a plural for the 8
ty hurshy
ty Jax
and gramma
*and
Our hospital computer system was ha**** and all of the me***** records are gone. It's terrible. A friend going through chemo had her appts. cancelled because they have to try to recreate her file.
that is awful gramma
geez. i can't understand what kind of a person could live with themselves for ha4ing hospitals and possibly causing people to die
stuck with 134 left bbl
It's awful for the patients whose treatments are put on hold. It's been 2 weeks now.
do you know what system they were using?
just curious because my daughter works for a me7 software company
No I don't. The governor called in the national guard to help. What are they going to just shppt the ain frames?
or shoot the main frames
there are people in the military with computer expertise, lol
I'm sure there are. It just seemed silly to me.
sure, but we're not privy to the information a governor has about what resources are available to draw on, so we can't really understand stuff like that
I don't even try. I trust our governor.
We have just cancelled our Christmas trip to see the CA grandkids and Thanksgiving at our daughter's house
It would be a good time to buy life insurance. No home visits and a clean me***** record.
medical medicals
oh dearie me
i found one of the k words, it's a kh5/22. anyone have the other?
ke 4
KE4/8
ke4/8
thank you :D
Hurshey isnt craic a word?
tried khmer - no go ☻
erm, not that i've heard of, deeha
oh I thought it was an Irish word for a good chat
got the KH, thanks hurshy
why'd you ask me in particular? i hope i haven't become the new dictionary, i'd much rather be a good novel
ohhhhh because of the irish flag. that's just me being a wannabe, i'm actually a stupid ol' american
ahh I thought you came from Ireland
ergo, it MIGHT be an irish word for a good chat, and i wouldn't know. maybe soodle, who i think is truly irish.
the c's are giving me grief
Crying in a Cold Cavern, Cause the Cs are Cantankerous
lol
i've only found ONE -ful word, which surprises me since the grid is big
I am confined by 3 c's.
i need EIGHT of them. but i need lots of other letters also. 9 S, for example
10 M
C's crushed!
clg Captures the Crown!
Good afternoon al. Still looking for 13 words. It wasn't going well this morning.
That's 139 words. =)
oh, i was gonna say, what are you complaining about, lol
lol bea - still looking for 117 words
down to 65 here but not sure how many more I can find sans list
oh,rehi
May I have a tiny nudge on the re7, please?
still have 9 4's
fishes, matty
i'm at 54 to go
Thank you!
52 with those :)
I see no fishes...sigh...
I'll get it.
Sort of an eel (though not quite). I think they hang around sharks
re + not less, but change the last vowel and then plural
Got it. Thanks.
i didn't know that was a fish, but knowing something of that length was there it kinda made me remember having had that word before
sucker fish.. they eat off parasites on sharks
aw, that's nice of them
Never would've gotten...thanks!
good morning
good morning ori
good morning, elegantly folded paper!
(EFP for short)
:D
Hey, ori. Thanks for checking on me. Doing well except for this grid. =)
she can be creasey
Good, Bea
good afternoon all....
I hope you're not referring to my wrinkles, ru
I only know it's a fish from Jimmy Buffett (as I mentioned earlier)
pen!
hi pen
*waving*
50! (NOT TO FIFTY!!!!!!)
finally got half of the lower A!
i have more wrinkles than you do ori :D
I finally have half the 7s
maybe you should try consuming more iron, guys
Carla, do you have the am7.32 from that A?
anyone want to guess my last lower right R?
yes, bea, that's the one I just found
re5/12?
re5 /12 i bet
(that's my guess for Hokie - I do have it!)
well whether it was right for hokie or not, it was right for me
aha! thanks!
now just need 2 from the other bottom R to rule them all
and in the darkness bind them
I think we should stick with Origami. EFP sounds like a me7 procedure. And not a pleasant one.
yeah, i just was harking back to the days when i had these little nicknames for people
like movieman was CHS - Cinematic Homo Sapiens
there's another A!
once upon a time in babbleland
we almost have almost
But I did like the ring of Elegantly Folded Paper :D
fitting
Sometimes it's very strange in here
Sometimes?
LOL
the stranger, the better! lol
maybe you'd rather guess my missing words, molly?
bottom E
Sometimes the conversations I stumble upon when I first log on are very strange, indeed.
all EA words, all short
yes, ori!
aha
normal, one babblet
Bottom and top rows complete.
'twas missing the Scots one
btw, yesterday I saw a guy walking in my neighborhood in a kilt.
ooh fancy
Wonder what he was wearing underneath it?
morning conversations are fairly normal around here, but in the past some of the late night ones got pretty strange
Where is a stiff breeze when you need one?
emphasis on stiff
Real men go Braveheart under their kilts
Hi all. does the babblet begin with "R"? just shows how ancient our dictionary is.
just need 2 R and 2 O on bottom row, bea, but still need those 7 M's on top (plus 3 C and 3 W)
hope the tweaher wasnt too cold! But to be honest I have never seen a man in a kilt that it didnt suit him!
If you think the convos here are strange you should see them in another game I play. Gems Of War. I swear a lot of them are high as a kite.
it was probably 65F, deeha.
I believe that. A lot of stoners play those kinds of games.
scouser, the babblet we were talking about was an ea4, but there is an R or 2 babblet today.
Except me :D
Hello zoozzoom. I got locked-in in March in Fareham as we were on a curtailed cruise. stayed until I had to come home for hospital appt in July!! Nice one.
65 degrees is warm enough not to shrivel anything
lol
Thanks hokie carla.
we call them estate agents. What do you call them and why isnt it allowed??
Oh sorry to hear that, Scouser. I hope you are okay now and snuggled up at home with a nicce cup of tea! Tipping down here with winds around 50 mph
because for some strange reason, they trademarked it as a proper noun
isn't an ambulance a medicar?
I do know several scotsmen here but not this one. I texted one of them to tell him because I thought it was funny and he said, "did you tell him Halloween was over?"
deeha, they are real estate agents here. or realtor, but realtor is a trademark.
Deeha: the dictionary babble uses is out of the ark, and was typed in by people for whom English is not their first language. hence quite a few howlers. and not correctable either. so far.
it's TRADEMARKED as a PROPER NOUN. nothing to do with the dictionary.
lol
I tried that word this morning, Hokie. Most annoyed it did not allow it yet at the same time not surprised.
sorry scouser, didn't mean to like, yell at you or anything
Hi zoozzoom - you are right about the tea, and its raining cats and dogs outside.
Hurshy is yelling again
I would not take a cruise right now if my life depended on it
I didn't even see it until Deeha mentioned it, but I feel like I missed a comment about it.
it was emphasis not yelling this time :D
ruru - you would not take a cruise right now BECAUSE your life depends on it! lol
ruru, I don't think there are any cruises sailing right now
No problem Hurshy. We have a pal in common - Hydra.
I love hearing water hit the woof
hail hydra!
oh yes there are hokie. and the new cruise has covid 19 cases on board again
wtf, why?
no idea it's just more stupidness
Is it raining at your place, ru? We did have some yesterday.
I'm sorry but if anyone is dumb enough to go on a cruise now, they deserve whatever they get
Not yet I wouldn't do a cruise, but we have one booked for 2021 ....... depends on "UncleFred" Olsen whether they sail or not. They do look after one very well.
kind of cloudy here ori
mr. homie refuses to do cruises anyway due to norovirus outbreaks. I did talk him into one a few years ago.
i still, however, do not think people on cruises are quite AS insane as the people who - somewhere in asia - have taken flights that take off, fly around for awhile, and then land back at the same airport.
wait, wut?
I cannot believe that Carla, the germophobe, wants to go on a cruise
"feel like you're travelling!" - uh, yeah, the worst part of travelling without any of the good stuff. thanks but no thanks. yet people are doing it.
Some peeple did that in the UK, Hurshy, on a concorde just before they were grounded many years a go now.
madness, utter madness
so I see pictures of literally hundreds of Trumpers protesting in Washington DC and hardly any of them are wearing masks
while I am a germophobe, I am more of a hypochondriac
well, zooz, I could see that, just so you could say you flew on the concorde
A lot of germophobes are, according to my girly in law the nurse
I am stuck here on the K words - only 2 and my mind is blank.
waste time, money, AND contribute to pollution so you can say you flew on the concorde without going anywhere? pfft!
KH 5/22
one is like shorts Steve Irwin used to wear but with a different last consonant
ke4.8
KE 4/8
It is not just the Trump protesters. I have seen many pictures of black lives matters protests where hardly anyone is wearing masks
Trump supporters are doing the same here in Raleigh.
I think Concorde was a beautiful airplane: I used to stay near Heathrow - right beneath its flight-path. They used to have to sweep the runway specially before every flight. That's what killed it - it tripped over a metal rod at Paris.
What do they hope to accomplish?
plus the post election celebrations by biden supporters or anti-trumpers
I heard there were going to be a lot of Trump rallies this weekend.
in other news, i'm singing "i'm every kitten, it's all in meeeeeeeeeeee (anything you want done baby, i'll mew it naturally)
it's just insanity.. i don't get it.. Make America Sick
PB for ori!
I heard rumours that when trump leaves office he is going to move to Scotland! haha!
Shouldn't that be other "mews", hurshy?
nm, wrong tense
TECHNICALLY not pb, the S isn't there just the D
sure sure, fair point bea
stop yelling at me! I said never mind.
Drats!
can't y'all tell the difference between yelling and emphasis?
Yes I heard that. But I think he hasn't reckoned on the Scottish law system - he will walk rough-shod over the wrong person one day...... soon, soon, please, please
I think drats was in yesterdays grid haha!
if i am excited about something, i will yell. i won't yell in a negative way, so if i'm correcting or negating, it's emphasis. that's me and caps in a nutshell.
:D
wait, who said they never saw a man in a kilt that didn't look good? trump will accept that challenge.
hahahahahaha
*imagines a beached whale in a kilt*
Great, thanks hokie. Now that image is stuck in my mind.
🤣🤣
It scares the crap out of me that close to half the people in this country voted for Trump
i just noticed i have all the 4s. i wonder how long ago that happened?
make America Great Kilts
There's no tartan in existence that looks good with that strange orange skin? Is that really stage-pancake-makeup? tell me it is, someone!
they only had two choices molly :D
no, he's going to go make Scotland great again
scotland has never not been great
Three, there is always the choice not to vote
celts of the world, unite!
Agreed, Hurshy!
well, just wait until Trump moves there
not in this election
i actually voted third party, because i am in a "safe state".
right on Hurshy. My parents lived the last twenty years or so of their lives in beautiful Galloway.
I will exercise my right not to vote until there is someone worth voting for
I need to get on with this grid or I will never finish it. Thanks for the chat though babblers!
I will hopefully get to visit someday
Runrig' s Alba that should have been made the Scottish anthem.
I would love to visit Scotland (and Ireland).
Trouble with the Right-not-to-vote is, it gives support to the winner......which is OK unless its Trump.
Cheers zoozzoom.
yes, also Ireland, ori
I don't want the idea that I voted for either of them on my conscience. Which is why I have not voted in years.
Guliani is prepared to take voting matters all the way to the Supreme Court Marriott
And the lack of my vote does not give support to the winner
That doesn't surprise me, ru.
third party third party
I have always voted Green given the chance - not often locally though! I detest the way national politics interferes with local sensible decisions.
this grid is lying. there can't possibly be 44 more words.
still have 60
IT ISN'T LYING (emphasis)
:D
Slackers ... I only have 220 left :D
now ori is way more deserving of the pb
is that the PB for you, ori?....;o)
And off to the PB with Origami
obviously ori hasn't gotten that far along
Wow, it's like the PB Chorus
Sorry - I'm on a roll
what is my missing L from the 2nd row??
can't tell ya, i need 3
li5/12
I have 2
then lu7
lu 6 maybe?
it was the 7! thx
<--- Psychic
dese be what i need
i only have lu4
I like the way Carla finishes the grids. She gets other people to find the words for her. Clever strategy
hey, yesterday I finished all on my own!
(falls over)
am i being very thick here? i can't get these lu
well, I did get spoiled on one stat. I made it all the way to 2 left - a D and an L and a 4 and 6 and I saw someone tell the stat of a D6.
the lu 6 comes up every five years or so
did not know that was the def. was going to tell her to think of light or shine
i have been trying things with light... sigh
try building on sexual desire...
lu6 sounds like a female wrestler name
not in terms of meaning, but building on that word...
i don't have to do that hokie :D
LOL pen
or pen in this case :D
that wasn't me ru!
i caught that too late
at least I didn't yell at you :D
I almost yelled at you
LOL
hurshy: its a describing word ... and a common anti-depressant drug!!
i got it now. i was doing "lume" light instead of that
i have to brave the grocery store today.. trying to figure out a great time
I give up on 59. have re5ed the point that I don't believe there are any other words. to the list!
i'm going THROUGH my words first to see if i see any obvious things i missed like pl or pt
GOOD idea
yep, there's an easy a4
Grocery stores are scary, ru. Suit up :D
lol ori
a plural!
i'd better get busy straigtening up around here.. you all have a great weekend
bye ruru
you, too, ru....bye....
POOOOOOOOOOOFFFFF
ooh, monkeyed my last H words
I need 2, what were yours?
hade
ha5/14 and pl
BYE RU :D
oops
that's them. those are they. thanks!
finished, yay!
now just need 2 W's to finish a col or row
monkeyed my last two Ls too!
and out
well done, saanichcat
Congratulations, saanich
oh, there's a present tense
alright, well, that took me over my 90% mark so now i'll get the list
did you finish the 4's? I still have 6 and feels like I've tried everything.
yes, i finished the 4s
ok, moving on. 55 now.
professor moody counts
yep, did not have
I started at the bottom of the list. so far all new to me words.
300!
I liked yesterdays grid..at least I heard of all those words!
agreed suzee
there is an al 6/24 followed by an al 7/36 that I cannot find
ca 7/36 please?
The al6/24 is difficult to clue. Last three letters of the white fragrant powder used after bathing, then make it descriptive.
Wonderful Haz!!
I hope it works for cybernan!
that worked - ty haz
: )
You're welcome. The al7 is still a work in progress. And that's not a clue, just an observation.
that finished the a's
same first 4 letters, haz
I've got it now.
wow
ca 7 please?
You're specialising in the difficult ones to clue!
First four letters sound like a type of lily, finish with the letters beginning old English 'yours'
ty haz
Love her clues!!
You're welcome.
ugh, always miss the foreign goodbyes
I'm out of practice, hego, but glad they still seem to work.
Seem on your game to me, Haz.
I'm tickled that two of my favourite words/babble words are in the grid today - mu5/20 and the ih5.
hego!
Hi Welki!
And hello, welki. I always look out for you on QP. Not that I'm competitive or anything...
Was brought out of lurk by the appearance of Haz.
it's good to see you here :)
I'm flattered, hego.
: )
hi haz - i see you there, too
I see Welki and others on Facebook.
Some days are better than others, it's probably like playing golf.
Golf seems pretty hard.
golfing is easy, it's getting the ball into the cup that's hard
But I have inly my husbands word for that.
lol Welki
Doesn't it just? The professionals make it look easier but even they have their off days. It's when you see amateurs playing that you really appreciate how good the professionals are.
Master's on TV this week.
Looks hard for them too.
hi hego!! hi Haz, hi all!
i'm not sure you'd call what i do on a golf course, "playing golf." we call it whack f**k - because you whack the ball and then curse
Hello, peri.
HAHAHAHA!!
my husband is a good golfer, though - and a really good teacher
hi peri
Hi Peri!
Have you ever read PG Wodehouse's golf stories? They are hilarious, very good at depicting the mental struggles.
I just saw one of them (Rahm maybe) skip a ball across a pond and then it rolled down the green into the hole in a practice round. then in the real thing he hit it in the bushes like I would do.
Welki, as long as you enjoy it.
Hi Hokie
he golfs regularly; me, once in a while
my goodness the M
oops sorry the M"s go on forever
my husband goes back & forth between playing right and left handed and blaming his game on whichever hand he is playing. he's currently doing lefty.
i saw that, hokie - once in a lifetime
hi hego
Haz I missed those stories. Maybe check them out.
Yes, the M meanders and multiplies.
Good grid, though.
You should, hego, I don't golf but his descriptions are spot on.
I have he me8 that has to do with doctors help with other me8 pls
I will
haz, i looked him up - haha! will have to buy this one: Golf Without Tears : Stories of Golfers and Lovers
I haven't golfed in a few years. I don't mind riding around and playing some holes, but I don't take it seriously.
nm I found it in my scrabble dictionary
my great niece plays golf and is apparently very good it at. She is 16
It's all kind of old fashioned terminology now, but the stories are very funny.
can't believe I missed the m bird. glad moo isn't here to see this.
i used to play a lot more, but after some foot surgery, i never renewed my membership and only play about 6x per season
what are the stats for that bird pls
and for sure, don't take it seriously (she said, as she pours fireball shots from the back of the cart)
ma5/22, peri
I'd rather be playing tennis or pickleball. or be sewing.
ty Haz, looking
Golf is very time consuming.
we just stayed a couple of days at a Class A resort with 9 holes. mr. homie played several times but I never made it out there. I did take 3 clubs though. :D
okay, i have to think up something for dessert and bake some bread - later, all
Me too. Later!
Bye, welki, nice to see you.
not seeing that bird
ends with the sound a crow makes....
It's quite colourful.
up and to the right, peri
I got it thank you both
and pen too
slow going for me here
yw...
It's a bit of a slog of a grid. I started out with enthusiasm and then reality set in.
Anyway, time for me to head off. Bye!
yeah, I decided when I looked at the A's I was missing on the list that I don't care if I finish or not. will play until my football game is over.
bye, haz
bye Haz
12 left!
go carla!!
120 left here
I forgot the one thing in texas I'm supposed to remember!
Blurting
...and slogged my way over the finish line at last
yay for hursh
107 left here
9 left here and 16 sec left in the game. might come back tonight or might not. well done, hurshy
68 here....on the list now....
taking another break....babble overload....
hmm they don't seem to like my realtor
Enable doesn't take "realtor". I try not to be offended...
It's a proper noun
No wait, it's a trademark
TRADEMARK
Thank you Carla, I already corrected myself
Yep. But still...people use it all the time without the the stupid mark.
yeah, I saw. just wanted to yell.
yes, well the association of realtors need to get after those people. also, I don't know how to make the R in a circle mark on a computer.
dang, so all these people who call themselves realtors without being a Realtor TM have been misrepresenting themselves? Exposing my ignorance here LOL
It's a matter of being licensed and paying dues to the National Association of Realtors. Super easy to check, so I really don't know why anyone would bother being a cheater.
I guess so
NOT YELLING EMPHASIS
EXACTLY
® ® ®
®®® looky there!
Hey, Smarty Pants!!!!
That's not the Realtor one, though...
that is the symbol for registered trademark. I've seen it after Realtor ®
Now you can post "it's a ®" I know how you live to use abbreviations. By the way, "wut" really killed me earlier. Seriously?
Yes, but there's also a big R in a square that's our symbol. All hail the Big R! Huzzaaaaah!
was waiting for you to say something then. wut is the same as WHAT??!!
Yeah, but it looks so illiterate
and I still don't know how to do the music notes. guess I will google.
And when you do the registered one, you type REALTOR in all caps.
Maybe if you do WUT in all caps...
That R in a square is a logo. The ® is what (not wut) comes after realtor.
mr. homie put golf on so now I'm almost asleep. how will I get off this couch?
Yeah, golf puts me right to sleep
Yep. The guys are cute...we're watching too.
anybody have. clue for ca7 or al7?
well, I just looked them up so I'll see what I can do.
ca + la5
which al7?
got the ca
the 7/36 - I have the other al7
al + cons. + helper
Great clue!
perfect ty carla that's firewords!
woohoo!
I started out making a much lazier one that revealed more letters but then changed it. glad it worked.
℉ - found that, still looking for music symbols
You're down a rabbit trail now!
congratulations, dan
and I inadvertently do a blank post. how does that happen?
I thought you were at a loss for words
that's a very rare occurrence!
and if it does happen I will say "wut?" :D
Back later for my last 22. Good luck, all!
Carla? At a loss for words? Ahahahahaha!
down to 58 left
stuck at 116 here
100! listing this beautiful grid
ooh, could use a clue for tr7.36, pretty please
skipped it - gonna tackle it next time round
tr7/36 ends in auto
ty molly
oh my, tyvm molly
monkeys were worn out, lol. Time for supper. Happy Babbling all.
17.
I'm impressed that Harry, with all those kids and all his teacher reposibilities, still has time to conquer a grid like this.
"me time"
hi all
how any kiddos do you have Harry?
hey peri
5. but one is at college
though between calculus and chemistry, I seem to be helping her more than the others :)
Hi again - got all my mask packages ready to mail out and have some free time.
Nan is masking the world.
Hi Nan.
36 going out on Monday -- that will take care of the extended family
help with either ar6 pls
can I ask you something cybernan?
ar 6 = Dickens Doger
*Dodger
yes, Harry?
I ask you this because I like you and you seem like a smart and reasonable person
the other day when you said that Jews had only been in Jerusalem since post-WWII days, were you serious?
Or is this something that has been told to you?
I am so glad this came up again. I was wondering about that too.
What I said was Israel as a country did not exist before then. I realize there has been a group of people called Israelites since pre Christian times, but I was not aware that they referred to the chunk of land designated as Israel before then.
Jeruasalem as far as I know has been home to many faiths
hmm. must be my mistake then. not what I recalled. in any case, Jews have been in Jersualem for 3,500 years.
way before islam existed, or christianity for that matter.
has it always been a "capital city"? I don't know
King David made it his capital. there is significant archaeological evidence for this
but many people spread incorrect information regarding Jews' claim to the city to advanace their own agendas.
but there are sites sacred to other faiths there as well
no question
but I took something you said as a very hurtful statement, and perhaps it's not what you intended.
all I was saying is that I thought Trump moved the embassy solely to advance his own agenda
not at all Harry
OK thanks for clarifying
I'm glad we met here tonight - it was bothering me.
agreed that he moved that embassy for his own agenda, going against decades of US, and allied, foreign policy.
nan I did not get your clue for ar6
charles dickens character -- the ar 6 dodger
actually dcs, many presidents prior to trump, both dem and rep, have made a campaign promise to move the embassy to jerusalem. All in their own interests. they just never had the guts to follow thorugh
presidential interest and foreign policy often do not intersect, nor should they always.
ty nan

i hate this grid. did you ever go to the list the think "hey, is this the wrong day"?
I'm with you TO. This grid is killing me :D
I just finished watching the ABC special about Alex Trebek. I will so miss him.
gtg, happy babbling
It was really well done.....
It was. He was such a kind and generous person.
I think you'd like his autobiography
I actually just put it in my library queue a few minutes ago :D
But there are 146 people ahead of me.
hi all, diving in, weeeee!
nbt
hello again peoples. I know diwali was in yesterday's grid...we just had like 3 hours of fireworks and I couldn't figure out why until the oldest told me it was diwali and he was seeing them all over while delivering pizzas.
happy diwali carla and everyone !!!
I hate fireworks. Apparently these days that makes me un-American. But the reason is that because they freak out my elderly, sick dog so much that I have to tranquilizer her, which is risky for her. And it goes on here for a month before and after the 4th and New Years, and Cinco de Mayo. Sigh.
*is because rather
clameo. (n.) seashell beauifully engraved by a clam
clameo (n.) a brief, often uncredited appearance by a bivalve in a film
LOL
ha!
there is a giant Japanese monster in the grid (not related to the bivalve)
60 to go, brain losing integrity. night night all!
50 to go......gnite all :-)
Someone trying to mussel in in the film
