Thanks, Hurshy

you notice it's not just that COVID is here, the letters for pandemic are too? those don't connect but it still gives you that general sense
stalled half way and not seeing the 7's -- maybe tomorrow. Goodnight and stay safe :)

anyone having any luck with the Es? i just have one en6

the one i have that soldiers do, is that the first or the last?
pe8
that's the first e
pe8 x 2
thanks, got the Es, now to look for this other pe
is it weird or normal?
weird
not sure I've seen it before here
yikes
how did you get it???
morewords
ohhhhhh
sometimes I go there before I give up and look at lickety
interesting
without lickety you have a broader search field to sort through in mw tho
yep, I try to get below 20 before listing
but i don't get it, if you don't have lickety how did you even know to look at pe words in morewords?
just a hunch?
I search by length. since you can specify, and eliminate letters not in the grid
interesting
i just go like, once i know the first two letters i ask for pe------ or whatever, i must see how to use other search functionalities
I'm on the c's right now, so, just plug in c--- (to length), then ^ and list letters not in grid (bfghklqruwxyz)
oh neato
eventually, I realize how much time I'm wasting and go to the list, so FWs.
well, want to clue me that pe8?
*silly me, she probably left after the FWs*
pe 7/8.....a wool coat worn by seamen....
pl...
i don’t think it’s weird at all.... ;o)
no, there's another pe8
ah, ok then....
and i have combed through morewords and found it now :D
It is surely a new type of pizza
why not, since the dictionary doesn't know what it is, lol
The fruit of the melon, cucumber, and other cucurbitaceae.
How old is your cat Hursh - she is very beautiful
hah...monkeyed it....
she is four, that pic is a couple years old but of course she looks the same
she's not actually a cat though. she's an angel, who happens to LOOK like a cat.
Is she a 'special breed (aside from being heavenly) - her eyes are huge
nope, she just got kitnapped by a giant bird on her first day of life, then dropped from its talons and rescued and bottle-fed
she has a deep and abiding caution about predators
I do hope this is fiction
same thing happened here - a small ginger kitten was picked up by a crowned eagle and dropped on the grass in front of the local vet hospital .. true story
no
he survived unharmed
i mean the angel part is my fanciful thing, but she IS extremely well behaved, and the kitnapping is her true story
ursh and hursh with the same weird story.... ;o)
they had named her Miracle but i was like, just because she is a miracle kitten doesn't mean that has to be her NAME
there was such a clamouring to adopt him - i often wonder who has that angel
amazing really...
that is pretty wild that we both have contact with such cases and have similar names on here lol
of course Rilla is also special in being a girl ginger, only about 20% of gingers are girls. not as rare as male calicos tho.
heading out...goodnight all...
bye Pen
yes but there is another side - my son's young cat was grabbed by also a crowned eagle but he had killed her and left her - son and dil were completely heartbroken. It is thought because she was a grey cat that the juvenile eagle mistook her for a dassie (rock rabbit)
yeah my cats are indoor cats, but Rilla was obvs born to an outdoor mom, probably feral
i would worry nonstop if i had a cat outside
We are told the eagles do not hunt pets - they feed on monkeys and dassies but juveniles often pick them up and drop them.
but there's so many other dangers. toxins, bacteria, fungi, coyotes, cars, you name it
average lifespan is double if you keep a cat inside
cute ma6
and then THEY don't kill small birds, which is also good.
I had 5 cats - all outdoor cats - now down to 3 as the two old gingers passed away at 17 and 18 so I imagine they get street wise as they mature
The surviving 3 are between 6 and 10 years old and are mostly indoors now (lazy) but they do hunt geckos inside all the time :(
you have geckos inside?
goodness - COVID has even infiltrated Babble
lynxxx the word vaccine is there but the letters are just not joined up...
you sound like Morecambe and Wise. All there just not in the right order!!
Morning all....may I have stats for the J please?
ji4/9
Thank you - looking now
Found it. Weird word. Cheers
YW - took me a few tries to monkey it.
I have two 8s, but still no 7s
Found one
Doesn't like covid
Neither do I. ;)
Aw, cute new picture of Tilly.
Matty, it is cruel and inhuman that you have not had your hands on that baby yet.
She is a beauty. I suspect she'll be well into her toddling years before I see her
If that is how long you think COVID restrictions will last, that is a very depressing thought.
Australia just isn't letting anyone in - they're being very cautious (understandably) so I don't know when, even when other countries fully open, they will
What about her coming to you?
If she did, Australia wouldn't let her back. They're still in the (long, expensive) process of applying for permanent residency - they currently have a specific employment visa
There are Australians stranded abroad - Australia took a REALLY hard line
Blech. Impossible circumstances.
Yeah. :(
I work with someone from Pakistan whose wife just had a baby. They are over there now, visiting her mother. All he had to do was prove they all tested negative.
Maybe it'll get easier when enough of us are vaccinated
Lets hope so.
Fervently! How are you?
Can anyone help me with the da6/7 combo (I assume it's a combo?)
NM
Found it (monkeys to the rescue)
Yay for monkeys.
are the pe 8's normal words?
one is, the other not too much
I'm okay Matty. Trying to get hip with the holiday hoo-ha
I'm sure people have pointed out that covid is in the grid.
ugh, can't get away from it anywhere
hi all. no 7 or 8 letter words here. help with any of them please
pe7 and 8 sailors outer wear
ty Bea
yw
thx, 6 words from that!
me too
Yes, but Hurshy (typcially) had to go three steps further and say that all the letters for pandemic are also in the grid
sounds right
LOL!
Honestly, I could have looked at this grid all day and not noticed that
if I was looking I would have seen but unless letters are touching in this grid, I don't intentionally look
these aren't even close enough to be a phantom
Good Morning to all
Christa!
Good morning, Christa.
we also have all the letters for vacation
and vaccine
and idiot
Carla, since you are gf, do you buy a lot of vegan products?
not really, there are def. some overlap though.
morning all
I have two grands that are gf and I was going to buy them hot cocoa mix for Christmas. Can't have it because of maltodextros.
speaking of GF, I'm making a lasagna today for my good friend. She had a procedure the other day. her young daughter has celiac and she said I am the only person she would trust to bring them food.
They had some cocoa bombs yesterday while I was face timing them.
That was high praise.
Finally greyed the top row.
are they not doing maltodextrin at all or just afraid it's not GF? I did read almost all maltodextrin in the US is made from corn. Sillycow Farms has certified GF hot chocolate mixes in these cute little milk bottles if you can find that.
Is that a powder form?
well, my household is not GF, so I'm a litte nervous about something sneaking in. my friend's daughter is super sensitive.
yes, it's powder
sillycowfarms.com
I see
I see amazon has them. I'm sending them an order from there anyway.
Thanks for the info.
no prob, anytime. I have been to a lot of grocery stores and tried a lot of GF products, so anytime you need info, feel free.
peri wins the Rhinestone Tiara today as her other name is in the grd.
how many tiaras does one person need?
As many as one can get.
what is the difference between a crown and a tiara? I guess a crown goes all the way around in a circle and a tiara is more like a semi-circle?
That would be about right, I guess.
well, I'm going to get busy here. 36 left for later. TTFN
As I've said before, we are going to have to keep a huge stash of tiaras if Peri gets one every time Peri is in the grid
Wait, her "other" name?
Periwinkle has a different name that is used in the plant world.
vinca
And that puts you in the PB
oooops, sorry
av 7/48, pls
Holy guacamole!

PB is filling up this morning.

Not a phantom if you spell it correctly.
oops. ok. sorry all
It won't accept the pandemic!
funny

any clues for 8s?
ty
Clued at 8:03.
ty
that is cheating. that item of clothing is two words not one.
got the word though. ty
how about the J word? any clues?
ji4.9
And it can be spelled both ways correctly.
ty. got the j.
not liking this grid. too many weird words.
not seeing i word for first column i......... clues welcome
the j word: is it same as c word? wow.
mkg Babble is synonomous with weird words
i give up. not seeing more words. still missing 4 tiles.....ugh
i agree bichon
how is covid not a word
Because it is not a word, it's an abbreviation
Seems that Enable only updates every 500 years.
Its an acronym, made up of 3 words.
CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease.
man I have missed you all
Where have you been?
You will notice it is always capitalized :)
we are rebuilding a trailer in FL
i just get too busy to get on
Still need 2 8s and 1 7, as well and lots of 4, 5 and 6
but when i do , it is like coming home
i love seeing you all
sukee, i can give you stats for the 8's if you want.
It is good to see you too, sue.
I'd appreciate it, I have the PE
there is a pe8.55 and an io8.45
ty
The 7 you are probably missing is the da6/7 combo.
I've got to get my day started. See you all next time.
Take care
I see covid is in the grid.
Get out your hand sanitizer
Are there 2 DA 6s?
ah.. today a woman is giving me 7.3Million dollars who is dying on her deathbed..
Lucky you ;)
congrats ru
what's the catch
she found me by looking up my name on the internet :D
is she a nigerian princess?
Those scams still doing the rounds, Ru!
Yes there are, Sukee.
she knows I'm a god fearing christian (actually an atheist) and in christ she wants to send me money if i fill out a form
I am missing the lower i. are they normal words?
With all your banking details :)
probably
one is Harry, I don't have the other. One is what I am missing in my thyroid
I love filling out forms. such a feeling of accomplishment!
ty sukee.. leave off the last letter
athey are both pretty much the same word.
Great, ty

I'm embarrassed I didn't get the second one :) Or the first one :)
I am missing the last V
Beloved in Christ, Calvary greetings to you and your ministry in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Hendrica Richard, 71years old widow to Late George Richard, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time Covid 19, my condition is serious according to my doctor but as a Christian I believe God and I know that I will not die, I will live to declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son died from covid 19 pandemic; it was a very sad experience but I believe there is always a reason for whatever happens to us according to Ecclesiastes 3:1-4. I am presently Leaving with some domestic staffers; Our Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter. I have some funds I inherited from my late husband, the sum of US$7,300,000.00 and I needed a very honest and God-fearing Christian that will use the fund for God's work, this money is the proceeds from the sale of properties and shares and physical cash I inherited from my late husband. I have prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest person who will receive this fund and utilize it for things that will glorify the name of God. After my prayers, I searched the internet, I found your email address and decided to contact you. Please if you will be honest and faithful enough to use this fund strictly for the work of God, kindly reply for further details. I pray above all other things that the almighty God will grant you the desired humility and honesty to faithfully receive my donation for the purpose of propagation of the kingdom of God and charitable activities. Please reply to my personal email address: { hendricarichard@outlook.com } God bless you as you pray for me and other Covid 19 victims. I look forward to your timely response. Mrs.Hendrica Richard. Untitled form
lol
amen.
If I got that money I would donated it to Humanist and medical organizations, after I bought a condo and a few other things.
I love how she is "Leaving" with some domestic staffers
Harry, you're a QC alum?

Queens College of the City University of NY
Sukee... as a gift.. i'll forward you the form so you can have the 7.3 million... i really don't need it

I'm tearing up from your generosity ru
I need it badly but stil do not want the form haha!

Wow, you get all the good ones, Ru
I know Harry.. I just am a giver
Hmm, been so long since I have been in a church, it might get struck by lightning.
but if you fill out the form you may be leaving with her and her attendants. caution.
that's about the same chance of getting 7.3 million sukee :D
LOL
That is true.
I think she is living on a jet plane and leaving in the USA
I get so many of these offers .. i'm happy to share them with you guys
station to station!

I guess Nan will be stuffing Christmas stockings with masks and thermometers
screwwy mouse
masks and infrared heat guns for no contact, I'd say.
*Imagines Nan, leading an army of COVID Nazis, all of them carrying lasers to enforce six feet of distance : D
Zap!! That's five feet mister, make it six!
It's okay, folks, the grid combines av/5 with COVID.
who wants some clues? anybody? or just a chat
stats only pls for first column i? ty
io8/45
LOL, jan! so it does!
our high school kids have just finished their final school exams - organisers hold huge gatherings call Matric Rage Festivals in various areas of SA. Thousands of drunk kids shoulder to shoulder no masks partying the nights away. From the first event dozens testing postivie mostly with no symptoms (17/18yr olds). All future events cancelled thank heavens - super spreaders by the 1000s
crazy.
if they had the ability to cancel, why did they not cancel the first?
big money for the organisers and no thought from the Government Education Departments
sorry to hear that.
Or the schools for that matter - they all know it happens every year
ooh felize na7 is in the grid
Sing it Harry!
its a great song!
you know, Jose Feliciano, ya got no complaints
Is that his one hit wonder, or did he have other hits
I think he was pretty prolific. He made it onto Fargo, after all.
Great, now Felize na7 is playing in my head.
I have io8 ad pe8. help with last 8 please

Thanks!
Actually, that word means wild or reckless. But glad you got it Une.
maybe it's crazy in NZ
is there a def. for the io/8?
I don't have it, sorry
the process of causing io6 to be taken up as a constituent, as in the production of iodo-benzene from benzene.
Like that helps, but it was in my medical transcription background
I thought io6 was just a phantom. should have just typed it anyway.
and you're right, that doesn't help ;P
io ends in one n****** under god
ah, thanks
1st col gray!
i am done...
hello all...

is anyone concerned about Babble given the discontinuation of updates for Flash?
I didn't realize babble was flash
well i get a warning most days saying that Flash will not be updated again by the end of the month....and I only get that notice when I open the Babble website page....
interesting. flash doesn't play well with macs so I don't usually play flash games.
and I haven't seen that warning
maybe it's a general warning....usually my browser opens with Babble....
maybe
do you use the main babble page or that babble expert. maybe it is flash?
i open with the main page.... i do use expert but only at the end of finding words....
hmmm
well i am off....babble done and the crossword done....goodnight, carla.....*waving to the lurkers*....
goodnight, pen!
finished with the list and and last one was pe8 with hurshy's great clue.
