1:01 am

erm, i feel like it's at LEAST 10 years old

1:02 am

no, more than that

yeah, but the other one is really old

1:02 am

the point is, it was a very illogical commercial.

1:02 am

and you are like the dog in that all you can see is bacon

oh well, I am going to have to save 16 for tomorrow morning. good night!

1:05 am

night

oh, 15! found one on the way out...(as always)

LOL, 14

3:08 am

Someone said bacon... :)

First two words I find in the grid? po4 and ra4. I hope this isn't an indication of how my day is going to go

I nearly missed two words because they were the American spelling and so missing their U.

4:16 am

me too about the first words... hoping it's not a bad sign for the rest of the grid

4:26 am

That

4:26 am

is interesting Matty. I would think since you grew up American you would see both spellings.

I suppose in normal print I do, but I nearly missed them here

May I have the stats for the 8, please?

5:15 am

ha 8/50

I shall search. Thanks.

Is it a word in common usage?

5:16 am

No no no

Damn.

OK, stumped for now

5:43 am

Matty the definition is a small wicker case used as a repository for legal documents.then add plural for the 8

Thank you Sunrise! It would have been a long time coming without your definition :)

Manpet should be a word - either a pet specifically for a man or a man who is a pet

5:56 am

I get that, kind of like boytoy

Or, as they say in Britain, toyboy :)

5:57 am

I did not know that, haha!

6:02 am

Manape...cheese whiz and crackers men put out at parties.

And pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks stuck into a melon to make a manape hedgehog (very popular in '70s British parties)

6:10 am

Ok Matty pleased you got that word

6:20 am

nbt! 60 to go. bbl

7:33 am

Oh dear, I just looked up the hedgehog thing

7:41 am

Good morning, all. Surprised that hedgehog isn't suspended in jello.

7:41 am

Good morning, Judy and all.

7:42 am

Makes me think of the armadillo grooms cake in Steel Magnolias

7:45 am

Jello mold recipes from the 70's are alwats fun for a giggle.

7:46 am

Some of them were horrifying, Bea. Green olives and lemon jello. * runs for the exit *

7:47 am

Oh gross. Olives and jello makes me queasy just thinking about it.

7:48 am

The ones I thought were gross were the ones using Vienna sausages or hot dogs. Spaghetti O's as well.

7:49 am

Ugh, Vienna sausages

7:50 am

Apparently, Pinterest has a "Horrifying J-ello Mold" page

7:50 am

I see them in grocery carts around here all the time. And not just one of two cans...

7:52 am

My mother in law said she ate Vienna sausage and mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid. *Gag*

7:53 am

Double gag, but I used to eat those sausages too before I discovered real food

7:54 am

My mom tried to get me to eat potted meat sandwiches as a kid. Uh, no!

7:54 am

I remember a friend of mine describing a neighbor of hers when she was a kid. She said "she was the kind of person who brought Jello molds to a pot luck". Everyone at the table rolled their eyes and said "Oh my"

7:56 am

I've never made a jello mold, but I've taken many a jello salad to family dinners.

7:56 am

If you really want to get grossed out, look up the ingredients for potted meat.

7:57 am

Don't need to. Just looking at it as a child told me NO one should eat that stuff.

8:02 am

Pimento loaf, liver loaf, souse and head cheese are also sandwiches I refused to eat.

8:05 am

That is what a friend of mine would call "nasty eatin'"

8:19 am

Clue for pr7 please

8:20 am

morning all

8:20 am

Good morning lindy

8:23 am

pr7 before the butt. =)

8:24 am

8:26 am

She didn't used to have all her books and record albums sorted in alphabetical order. Yes, that was in her pr7 stage.

8:37 am

bzz huh?

8:38 am

I don't know, I thought before the butt was pretty darn clear

8:54 am

9:11 am

9:11 am

9:12 am

a dozen ferns?

9:13 am

Actually, it is Mr. BEa's Christmas present.

9:13 am

oh a air fryer?

9:13 am

He got the Vortex Plus Air Fryer!

9:13 am

He is so excited, LOL!

9:15 am

that's cute

9:15 am

the vaccine is working well zooz just a fyi

9:17 am

And my sporangium and gametophytes are doing their thing nicely.

9:17 am

How do they know how well it is workiing? Haven't they just started giving it?

well it worked in the trials

hello!

9:18 am

Hey, Carla!

9:19 am

it supposedly begins working after ten days of the first shot

9:19 am

started yesterday bea...couple people have had reaxctions apparently

9:20 am

like what kind of reactions kallia?

9:21 am

they haven't actually said what...]]

9:21 am

And from what I read, you have to have two vaccines two weeks apart for it to be effective.

9:21 am

three weeks bea

9:21 am

I think it is 4 weeks

I did read some bad side effects after the 2nd dose but don't rem. which brand vaccine that was. but apparently the 2nd shot of shingles vax is also tough.

9:22 am

its going to take a while I guess

9:22 am

supposedly the worst reaction is a episode of bells palsy

I thought it was 4 too

9:22 am

really? I hadn't heard that

9:23 am

hi all. any clues and stats for the 8? ty

9:23 am

but hopefully things will start improving soon

9:23 am

Along with designated vaccine administration sites, they will have to not only line up recipients for the vaccine, but for a first and second dose separated by 3-4 weeks.

9:23 am

so fed up with these restrictions

9:23 am

ha8,50

9:24 am

any clues??????

9:24 am

Now your going to have to clue it, lindy

9:24 am

yep, and this vaccine needs very careful handling or it is wasted

9:24 am

don't have it yet, sorry

9:24 am

ok. ty for stat.

it is a pl of ha7. it was monkeyed last night so I think an odd one.

apparently means a wicker inbox

9:25 am

ha7 sounds like what you put your dirty clothes in

I still haven't monkeyed it

9:26 am

ty Bea, that got it for me !

thank you, bea!

9:26 am

Carla, did you see I got Mr. Bea an air fryer for Christmas?

9:26 am

thank you

9:27 am

earn

9:27 am

ha 7/8 ends with most of the word for what you write on....the middle and end of that word....

9:27 am

oops sorry

9:27 am

Bad news for you Ru. The reactions to the COVID vaccine are the allergic kind. Rash, shortness of breath, swelling of the face and tongue.

9:28 am

And I think Bea got Bea an air fryer for Christmas and giving it to Mr. Bea is just for show : D

9:28 am

That is the case for most medications.

9:28 am

got it! no clue what it means.

9:29 am

There are other vaccines coming which differ though

9:29 am

Yeah, but they are saying that people with a significant history of allergic reactions should not get the vaccine

9:29 am

Actually, I found it while out shopping yesterday at a really good price. Called him and he said to get it.

9:30 am

I love my air fryer. Hi all. 😊

9:30 am

if I understood it properly, but I think th so called Oxford vaccine is going to be recommended for younger people only

9:30 am

hi soodle...

9:31 am

I think that one is the least effective, vaccine.

9:31 am

By the way, public service announcement. If anyone has seen ads for ZoLucky and is thinking about ordering from them, DON'T. Their return policy is insane. "We are sorry but our return center is in China. Your return will be processed after it reaches it's destination and shipping and customs charges will be deducted from the return amount".

9:31 am

What do they sell, Molly?

9:32 am

ty for the tip, Molly....

9:32 am

Mostly women's clothing.

I heard the Oxford one had to throw out all trial data and start over because they messed up part of it.

9:35 am

We will have to get it every year just like we do a flu shot.

9:35 am

That was to do with the amount of vaccine in a dose...somehow iy got half doses, which appeared to work better, But all the tests have now been finished, yesgerday I think

9:35 am

porn

9:35 am

spar

I get a flu shot every year. will get this every year.

9:36 am

Me too.

9:37 am

I get the flu shot too, and will get this at whatever interval is suggested.

9:37 am

Carla, do you shop Belks?

ok, down to 12 here...still missing an A from the 6 and 4 A tiles

9:37 am

mabaker is on the wrong website :D

boxing porn?

9:38 am

'morning, folks

9:38 am

hi welki

I have in the past, bea. Haven't been to a mall in a while.

welki!

9:39 am

hi welki...

9:39 am

Ours is a stand alone store. I went yesterday. In years past, their place was packed at Christmas. Not so now.

9:40 am

Hey, welki.

9:41 am

Carla, do you have 2 A 6's?

Ah, ours is in the mall, just about 15 min from me, but I have a big outlet mall about 10 min away so I only go to the other one when I need a dept. store. It has Belk, Macy's, and 3rd I can rem.

9:41 am

mr. bea and you will enjoy that air fryer - i caved to peer pressure and bought one. game changer, even for resistant-to-change cooks (like me)

nope, I don't have any A6, so I guess those are they. them.

9:43 am

I'm looking forward to using it, welki. Mine has a rotisserie function I want to try.

ooh, found my missing C. 11!

9:43 am

where does all the grease go though in those things?

9:44 am

There is a tray underneath, I bellieve.

can you share the stats on the A6, P&TY?

nm, found the middle one

9:44 am

ar6/18 and ap6/27

9:44 am

oh.. ok.. i have somewhat limited counter space so I am an oven kind of guy

9:45 am

Yes, this will have to go in the pantry next to the microwave.

9:45 am

very little grease, because you're not using oil for frying.

9:45 am

that's why I always have half-baked ideas

9:45 am

Hi, my name is Molly and I am a kitchen appliance addict. I have looked at air fryers but cannot justify one more kitchen appliance in my life.

9:46 am

Do you use an oil mister, welki?

9:46 am

lol molly

I'll just keep using my instant pot air fryer I reckon

9:46 am

bea, i keep a small jar of peanut oil handy and brush the tray with it to keep food from sticking. (and don't use PAM in it - it'll corrode the non-stick coating)

9:47 am

there are some "safe" sprays to use, but the oil brushing works for me

9:47 am

Thanks for that tip.

I use an olive oil mister on mine but I think brushing would work better.

9:48 am

I have a refillable oil mister that I use for some things I put in the oven

9:48 am

PAM is gross

is the ap6 a regular word? having trouble with that point total

9:48 am

I was looking at a recipe for blooming onion and they misted it is slightly with a spray mister.

9:49 am

Use the 3 point tile

why can't we have aperol? it's five o'clock somewhere...

9:49 am

that's my last word carla

9:49 am

no, not a word i'd use in a conversation

mine is refillable too and I just bought it at the grocery store

9:49 am

Ends with a chunck of wood

thx, got it

9:50 am

thanks! fw

9:50 am

i've never seen aperol, but i'd love to try it - i like a campari and soda, so i think i'd like it

9:50 am

I think brushing something you have coated with flour would be difficult.

9 still here. BB H R PPP L S

9:51 am

i think a mister would be a good idea to have - around the kitchen, the living room, the boudoir :)

9:51 am

Do you have the yellow fruit, carla?

that was one of my first words! couldn't see it but saw all the letters there.

9:52 am

All the B's are ordinary babble words.

hmm, ok

9:53 am

Isn't ordinary Babble word an oxymoron?

another caveat re ordering from those "steals amd deals" promotions. I ordered from a small busness in the srping then covid hit. they will not exchange my item - mind you, i opted for that instead of a refund- without filling out a useless form, printing it out and enclsing it with the return. which is at my own expense.

9:53 am

For L, do you have the makeup brand?

good point

yep

the problem is i do not have a working printer at present. need the library and it is closed

9:54 am

Go to FedEx office. They will charge you, but not much.

so, while it sounds lovely to support these entrepreneurs, be wary. i got a bad one

UPS Store too

9:55 am

I'm going to get busy. See you all tomorrow.

bye Bea!

i don't mind, it's clothing that would fit in an envelope. it's the form. if the company is really so small, why the formality?

9:56 am

lol - the only clothing i can think of that would fit in an envelope is a g-string - you vixen, you!

and i believe i checked the wrong box, so the error was mine. i even had to go through NBC to get a reply from them to inquire about exchangning, they did not answer me for a couple of weeks.

ROFL

LOL, was not thinking about that, welki

only you

well, now my secret is out.

9:58 am

:)

8 left. this is slow going

10:00 am

any bh? or be?

twenty eight. i need to get working on cleaning enough to get the tree up. i am selling off my collections at the same time so am looking them up and listing them with my etsy shop friend.

10:01 am

Be4 french pretty

my christmas deocraions all sold within weeks.

10:01 am

I still need to do that but feel like I've missed the boat on getting them shipped by Xmas

i feel better that things lovingly collected are going to people who appreciate them. But when I see her customers gush over them, it's a bit sad.

10:02 am

oh, just found boyfriend, is that the same, une?

10:03 am

The post office says mail by the 15th for Christmas, but I always feel safer mailing by the 10th. My stuff to be mailed went out the other day.

I need to get stamps for the cards. i will write them today and tomorrow. i do not intend to mail any packages and will probably just stay home again.

thank goodnees i bought my cards at the beginning of the year.

10:06 am

I passed on Christmas cards this year. I'm tired of sending them but never getting any.

10:06 am

I usually do photo cards with pics of things we've done all year. we have done nothing this year.

10:07 am

I heard a story on the radio about a woman who sends 300 cards every Christmas. Do you know how many she gets? 5.

10:07 am

Oh, Carla is a "Christmas letter" type

10:08 am

wow.I think I send out about 75 now. probably get 20-50, I never counted.

i saw a news feature on how to write such letters this year.

10:09 am

have never done a Christmas letter. we used to get one from a former neighbor that was so funny and well-written every year, then another former neighbor sends one that is boring and just kid bragging plus in a tiny font.

yes, i have a college chum whose family is so accomplished... lots of bragging

10:10 am

Christmas letters are easy this year. Happy Holidays everyone. This year we stayed home and did nothing. Ho ho ho!

10:10 am

last R was a kingdom. that has turned into my new tsar.

10:11 am

6 left!

i thought of a clue for ap6

10:12 am

Some of the satire Christmas letters I have read are hysterical. I love the one that ends with the family German Shepherd learning Latin.

that's funny

10:14 am

B H PP L S

10:14 am

one of those is a 6

uh oh, need to get moving. am trying a zoom thing tonight. Maybe. i guess that means getting dressed and putting on makeup ;)

happy babbling

10:15 am

tonight? quite a long time to put on makeup ;)

10:15 am

bye!

10:15 am

What’s the ap6 clue.

well!

if i dont feel like makeup. npo zoom

10:17 am

similar to an6, which is the opposite of digital in clocks

10:18 am

but I don' t know what TO's clue was

10:25 am

ar 6/18, pls

10:25 am

nipple

10:25 am

ty carla

10:31 am

suspense was killing me on my last 6 so I went to the list. still 2 5's left I can't find. at least there weren't any obvious words I should have found.

10:36 am

well, looked up the last 2. B was new to me. H rhymes with the barbarian and we have it all the time so should have been able to get that.

10:43 am

carla, don't understand the ha 7/8 clue

ha + *** (light sleep) + trial and **ror and plural

10:52 am

tyvm Cosmo Kramer

11:02 am

EVERY DAY IS MOTHERS DAY IN OUR HOUSE.... walter just put breakfast in front of me.. french tolast , bacon, and scrambled eggs.....yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

11:08 am

luck, I got oatmeat

11:08 am

Good old Walter. We all need a Walter in our lives.

11:09 am

walter sounds like a keeper

11:10 am

Word to the wise folks. Adding lots of additional letters like yummm and so forth, blows the chat width

11:11 am

Do we really have to keep doing this? Your contribution, however small, will help bring joy and (masked) smiles to children in our community. I know the kids are wearing masks. No need to include it in an ask for toys for needy kids.

11:11 am

she really wanted to rub her delicious breakfast in our faces ;)

11:12 am

are the kids wearing masks while they play with the toys in their homes? gee, I hope not.

11:12 am

Can anyone tell me if the so7 is a commonly used word? Please?

11:13 am

you'll kick yourself

11:13 am

Yes Matty it is

11:13 am

I shall look properly then :)

11:13 am

Please don't suggest that. Matty is a habitual self abuser with fish

11:14 am

Guilty as charged. I shall sing about it in a high voice ;)

11:15 am

you don't want to end up sleeping with the fishes

11:15 am

I don't know. I am just tired of people feeling like they need to qualify everything with "wearing masks of course and properly distanced"

11:17 am

because they're afraid of being shamed by social media. yes, everyone knows that now, you don't have to point it out every time. I'm with you on that.

11:18 am

I guess the COVID nazis are really getting to everyone

11:18 am

but not really. the anti-maskers will just roll their eyes and keep ignoring it.

11:20 am

I still don't get people driving alone in their car, wearing a mask

11:21 am

It's like wearing a condom to wank ;)

11:21 am

I did that the other day - was going a short distance between two places I needed to wear a mask and didn't want to risk cross-contamination when taking the mask off/on.

11:22 am

Exactly Matty, great comparison

11:22 am

and as I made that decision I thought of you Molly ;)

11:22 am

but my parents are elderly/vulnerable and were my second stop.

11:23 am

Cross contamination?

11:24 am

well, you have to touch it to take it off and put it back on.

11:25 am

From my hands, the supermarket and other shops I'd been in and out of during the first few stops. I used sanitizer but was aware that the mask was likely to be off and then back on within a short a period of time. Yep - didn't want to touch and then touch stuff in my parents house

11:26 am

I had a mammogram last week and they made me remove my homemade cloth mask and put on a disposable they had. I asked the lady which side was out and which in and she put her hands all over it. then when she was checking me in we were sitting aobut 2' apart and she was coughing into her mask.

11:27 am

COVID doesn't spread that way, but my new mantra is "whatever makes people feel safe"

11:27 am

but she grilled me on whether I'd been tested, had symptoms, etc., and I assume they are tested regularly but who knows.

11:28 am

Did they take your temperature?

11:28 am

morning all

11:28 am

People in the shops weren't keeping social distance, there was coughing and sneezing - which made me think it likely the mask had viral particles on the outside. Hence the decision not to touch until I was home.

11:28 am

moo!

11:28 am

yes, they took my temp

11:29 am

Hi Moo!

11:29 am

hey hoke, wend...happy whatever day it is

11:29 am

have I mentioned out my masks make me sneeze and my nose runs almost the whole time?

11:30 am

I believe to quote the camel in the old geico ad, it's HumpDay!!!!

11:30 am

Masks make my nose run too.

11:30 am

maybe you need to use dye and perfume free laundry detergent

11:30 am

cold air makes my nose run and eyes water

11:30 am

I really do wish people would read up on how this virus transmits. I think people are making stuff up as they go along.

11:31 am

But only from reputable sources. Spoiler: YouTube is rarely a reputable source :)

11:31 am

Well there was a lot of speculative research that was published early on

11:31 am

I do have some of that detergent, maybe I'll switch. part of the problem is there's always a golden retriever hair I don't see and then I feel it the whole time but then it's too late.

11:31 am

focusing on how long it could live on surfaces

11:32 am

I think the problem is early on they had no idea how it transmits and how long it lives, etc.

11:32 am

my nose is running right now because my house is chilly

11:33 am

Remember early on everyone was wearing gloves? Now very few are wearing gloves

11:33 am

my diabetic brother is still wearing gloves if he ventures out

11:33 am

I'm not sure there's a conclusion on all ways it transmits, but there have been some studies that seem to point it to being much more prevalent indoors, which would also perhaps suggest that high proximity aerial transmission is a big contributor

11:35 am

I don't wear a mask when I'm out walking by myself, though I do keep 10+ feet between me and others because it's easy to do

11:35 am

I do know studies have shown the neck gaiters actually do more harm than good because they make the particles smaller, but people keep wearing those.

11:35 am

same here, mool

11:35 am

same, I never wear one when walking Winston. I just cross over to the other side or sometimes walk in the road if there's someone already over there.

11:36 am

If I go into any store or such, I do wear a mask and I do use hand sanitizer

11:37 am

But I think part of it is what you said before Molly, and that is if you want to do more than that, and that gives you piece of mind, then by all means do so

11:37 am

I don't get it. People with diabetes are not high risk for COVID.

11:37 am

yep. my brother was talking about how he never sees anyone in a mask at the gas pump and I was like, I don't wear one there. even though there could be someone using the other side, I've never felt that close to them

11:37 am

no, they definitely are, that was one of the co-morbidity things

11:38 am

So he has other factors like obesity or hypertension? That is what co-morbitities are

11:39 am

The american diabetes association would beg to differ with you Molly: https://tinyurl.com/qwxg9du

11:40 am

well, just looked up on CDC, type 2 does, but type 1 may have increased risk. I think he is type 1 but it was a weird case (he was 27 when diagnosed so they weren't sure at the time). anyhoo, he is being extra precautious.

11:41 am

The UK has diabetes as a comorbidity as well.

11:41 am

There's also this from Webmd: "Having high blood sugar can interfere with your body’s ability to fight an infection. It also can take longer for your body to get better. Some experts believe that viruses may thrive in the body when blood glucose is high. High blood sugar can affect your immune system, making you more likely to have severe complications if you get sick with the coronavirus. Your chance of that is lower if your diabetes is under control."

11:43 am

Obviously it depends on how well managed the diabetes is. But I kind of give up. Everyone is a doctor or a COVID specialist these days.

11:43 am

I know he gets the flu shot every year too because he's a high risk for complications of that too. I do think he manages it pretty well. has been almost 30 years since diagnosed.

just looked again at your 11:37 statement - they aren't at increased risk of getting COVID, just at having complications or more severe case. I think that's what you meant but just wanted to clarify what I was talking about.

9:29 pm

Hello april98!How are you? Glad my story helped you out

9:43 pm

Thankfully, I am very well! My daughter just came home from college and it suddenly feels like the beginnings of a normal Christmas holiday!

9:47 pm

I am glad can be with your daughter for Christmas. I am unable to be with my family this year.Virus totally sucks!

9:55 pm

It really does stink! My husband will be vaccinated next week and I am really excited that one of us is able to be vaccinated right away. I hope it works!

9:56 pm

Hi babblers.

9:59 pm

Hello origami! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

9:59 pm

My sister is a nurse and might be vaccinated in a few wks

9:59 pm

Still trying to recover from whatever crappy virus I have, Min. How are you doing?

10:02 pm

Nurses should really get the vaccine first, in my opinion.

10:06 pm

I agree w/U origami. I hope you get over your virus soon.

10:09 pm

Thanks, Min. It has hung on for three weeks. I have decided this is my "new normal." :D

I am finished! I have fireworks! pa5/12 was my last word

11:05 pm

WTG MINVERYORK!!

11:09 pm

Thank you grannyrose! Took me FOREVER to find pa5/12.

11:15 pm

lol..... which pa5 was it?

11:19 pm

It was the first pa 5/12 word. Refused to ask for clue 4 it

11:20 pm

my pa5 was the time off for good behaviour, without the final vowel. it means something quite different to what i expected.

11:21 pm

my last word was the so7. nearly fainted from embarrassment when i found it. it was so obvious but i had my babble blinkers on... loll

11:26 pm

That one was hard for me too. It is a twisty babble word.

11:57 pm

Any guesses for the next grid size? My guess is 105 words.
