any connection to the 6/7 i found earlier?
if you are asking me - probably - I don't read back in chat
no i was asking jess, but, i found them
and the answer is no, im7/8 not connected to im6/7
except for having the same first 3 letters
ooh hey i just hit 90%
guess i'll call it a night then
ttfn all
Thanks Jess - and Morewords - never seen that im7/8 before and wouldn't have guessed it
bye Hursh

gm, may I have a clue for the mo7/32, plz?
And bless you, Babble (bet someone can guess what word I just found)
nm found it!
I haven't. Is it a 'real word'? :) And good morning
Starts like cash ends with not walked
"Real word" is debatable, as usual.
True. Never heard of that word, it must be said. Thank you!
Seriously, where do they come up with these words? "Relating to a taxonomic kingdom of prokaryotic organisms that typically reproduce by asexual budding or fission and have a nutritional mode of absorption, photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis, comprising the bacteria, blue-green algae, and various primitive pathogens."
morning all
Now we know!
I only have one U - a ur5 - may I have stats for another, please?
I now have 2
I also have a un5
I love it when Matty answers her own questions : D
Do I do that? Why yes, indeed I do ;)
el7 anyone?
I don't have it but I@ll look
There is no el7
That will be why I'm not seeing it ;)
sorry - my eyesight LOL thank you
aeon
sorry
actually there are 2 el 4 s hagd
Yes, but no el7
Morewords used to give you all possible combinations of words with a word. It no longer does this. Is it me, or the system?
Not sure what you mean. If you type ea----- morewords will give you all 7 letter words that start with ea
Good morning, friends.
Bea! what's the word?
It is a muscle spasm in her lower back. It took 12 hours in the
wow
ER yesterday to tell us that. She was treated terribly.
sorry to hear that
She is still having a lot of pain and can hardly move. We have borrowed a wheel chair to get her around. I have a call into her PCP.
So sorry, Bea :-(
is she on anti-inflamitories?
i'm so sorry she had to go to the hospital to begin with
Not sure. They gave her a muscle relaxer.
Good morning, all.
good morning ms judi
She had nothing to eat or drink for 10 hours. They did not give her a mask. She had to go to the bathroom at 6am and even though she asked freqeuntly, she didn't get to the bathroo until she got home after 6pm.
Back spasms suck. Anti-inflammatories and a heating pad on the lowest setting can be your best friend in situations like that. (*speaks from experience*)
Good morning, judi.
ugh, that sounds awful
sounds like a letter to the administrator of the hospital is in order bea
I called the er several times to ask about her. I know they were busy, but got disconnected twice. When I got connected to the atteding, he gave me the medical speil and then hung up on me.
Could that have something to do with the high cases of COVID?
is she home now?
that wasn't clear to me
When I went to pick her up, she was sitting in a corner of the ER waiting room without hospital staff and without a mask.
omg
I'm sure that is part of it, Sukee. They are short health care workers.
That is terrible. They should have provided her with a mask. Now she'll have to be tested for Covid in the near future. As will you, Bea.
Bea, that is horrible and yes, a letter to the person in charge at the hospital is in order. COVID or not, your mother should not have been treated like that.
Yes, she is home.
Why would Bea or her mother have to be tested?
I think only if they are contact traced would they have to be. hopefully the hospital keeps the covid patients separate as I've heard others do.
A doctor was on TV here today said he had to keep a woman with a heart attack in the ER because there was no room in ICU.
but the waiting room could be infected hokie
but it does sound like she was horribly treated.
Just being in an ER would make me leery of the whole Covid thing. But, if there was separation, perhaps she need not be tested.
Well, if being around people means you need to be tested than we all need to get tested every time we grocery shop.
I'll see what her PCP says about testing. She was socially distanced fro those in the room.
I just think it's safe to assume you might be exposed to COVID when you enter a hospital.
obviously an ER would have a higher likelihood of someone sick coming in, but maybe they have protocols for when that happens
Off to do other things. See y'all later.
No wonder people are afraid to go to the hospital.
Bye Judi, hi all. Bea, so sorry for your mom's pain and treatment
i'd be afraid to go to a hospital right now
I was afraid when my dad went a couple of times but he & my mom never caught it.
yeah i went to the hospital with gallbladder attack and ended up with covid from the hospital it does happen
ooh cheryl..hope you are ok now?
yes, over covid and got gallbladder out last week
hi all, has anyone clued qu5,18?
q + most of one of our players call names
i don't know, pcal but no other vowels
and thanks
darn!
ru, we have a player that is q + the whole call name
q + a mixed up word that means to hurry along .. the Christmas **** is on at the post office now
mix up the **** and you have it
Got it! Thanks Aloy!
Hi all. Need a clue for the 8s!
true.. forgot about the south african player
ok, I just entered a ch5 that I definitely had not entered but it was there. that means I mistyped something earlier and think I got that word but didn't
I do that a lot hokie
here's an 8 - people who are in favor of harvesting coal from the ground
haha, just figured it out. I thought it was a plural of another word, but it has another meaning
alright 92 left after first pass. going to get some things done before I get sucked into an all-day'er
only grayed 2 tiles
hagd hokie!
have to run too.. Happy Babbling!
half way and no greyed tiles. ðŸ˜
havent made it halfway yet
whoo-hoo...greyed the T!
I don’t know the term for the coal people. Please send stats and clues for any 8s you have. Thanks.
I don't think it is environmentalist :D Good morning everyone
I've run out of ideas for words and there are still 120 left in there
ha 7/8 ... ha + * consonant + **** not yours... plural
ty cos - that's 2 more
thanks, was stuck on not yours being ours
was 61 this morning and raining in sheets. now 48. I guess a cold front moved in.
mkg - mi8/45
morning, folks
thx, phae
mkg, you know the term for coal people. Loretta Lynn's story Coal M6 Daughter
yeah, but that's a 5/6. I wasn't sure what luv's clue meant relating to that either.
<---waiting for someone to say they don't know who Loretta Lynn is
i liked 'blue kentucky girl,' and even more by emmy lou harris
Well in favor of prefix (people who are in favor of) harvesting coal...I got Luvwordgames clue.
mkg is still trying to get an 8...
And Luvwordgames clue was for pr8
I've only grazed the surface of this gird. 69 words...
hi bea - i read about your mother's (and your) ordeal - i hope she finds some pain relief and that you both stay well
Thank you, welki. She is doing okay for now. Back in bed for a while. Back seems to be better but now she complains of her left arm because she has used those muscles to get up and down so much.
this virus is driving all of us batty - we're urged to support local businesses, so we ordered pizza last night. the online payment wouldn't work for contact-less delivery, so we had to pay in person. usually okay, except the numbskull shows up with his mask below his nose - i figured it just slipped down, told him to wait (behind the closed door) until i put my own mask on - when i returned, his whole face was exposed, and his mask was hanging below his chin. moron.
after being on a hospital bed/stretcher all day, i'm sure she'll be sore for a few days :(
(and when i told him to put his mask on, he looked at me like i'd lost my mind.)
in retrospect, i should have just refused the order and let him explain to his boss.
I woulld still call the manager of the pizzareia.
co6/27?
oh, those were my last 2 P's, thanks for the clue, Luv, and thanks for clarifying, molly
no idea, phae. must be really weird
it is...found it...
found it
oh, botany
Thanks for the co6
yw...ah6?
I have only one i. are these really weird?
what is the ah6 point total, phae?
27
sneeze sound
sneeze is ac5, no?
ty bea...had the other sneeze word
add the h
ah
Yes, the eye words are weird
ahah --- 99 bottles of words on the wall
Wait, Nan knows 99 Bottles of Beer on The Wall?
well, that's been around a long time
yes -- since my parents time I think
also only have one u word
so probably 100 years at least
un and ur 5 are the only ones I have
I have a un5. ah, I think I see the ur5, thx
oh, just found another 7/8 - shirley's boyfriend on laverne & shirley
didn't watch that show
stats?
same as the ha 7/8 but different starting cons.
ty carla
now just need 1 8
the tp is there too , but not accepted :)
yep, already tried it
still need 8 x3
one goes with vitamins
Hah - Carla - I got that clue immediately - nicely done!
can't think of anything that goes with vitamins other than pill or capsule
what are the stats, please?
Vitamins with rocks in it, Nan
similar to or4/4, nan
no idea
matty, did you say vie-tamins in your head or vit-amins? :D
mi7/8
Short i, this time, but it varies.
oh -- I see -- called that at the beginning last night -- wasn't thinking of it in terms of vitamins though
did you get the pr7/8 from earlier?
Same with the letter Z - I waver between zee and zed
phantom mimosa - now where is that orange juice?
zed is so weird to me
No - I haven't been online much. Go on, hit me with it....
Fun fact, we call them toyboys - to me, boytoys just sounds wrong
I think often which term I use depends on where I heard of the thing first - like I only fairly recently learned that what I call pollyfilla, you call spackle.
A lot of 'adulting' stuff, I think of in British terms
pr7/8 - no idea what it really means but a stance of being for underground places you will find or4, coal, etc.
wow, never heard of pollyfilla
hi all
moo!
zed, maths, aluminium, all really weird to me
hey hoke, happy Moon Day
phantom mimeo
273 to go :)
71 left here
3 gray tiles.
ah, no grey tiles here
Another great clue, carla
that one I can't take credit for, it was Luv & Molly earlier
95 - time for me to go through the list
166 to go
Thanks for sharing with me! I now have all the 9s, and 94 words left (still 10 7s to find)
I don't know why one who swats at flies isn't a word. or a cow who makes sounds. arbitrary enable rules.
17 7's left and 1 8.
20 7s and 3 8s left here
ooh, another gray tile
19 7s
Did I see that there is another word meaning sneeze besides the one I have? I have ac5/14
yes
May I have stats for that, please?
kind of a silent letter stuck in there, probably british ;)
sorry, moo
Got it. Silly! I've not seen it here, but that doesn't mean it isn't British ;)
avert your eyes, moo, here's the stats...
ooh a grey tile
it's okay I'm not readying it
ok, nm
Found it
Thank you!
I have P, O8 and O5, and D gray
You should be able to pluralise those sneeze words - I sneeze like a cat, many times in succession - usually 7
I know! I tried that too. ridiculous.
I only have the H grey - the one in the bottom row
ooh, e4 gray now
ca 6/24 -- really?
two grey tiles
98 to go...15 7s and 2 8s
make that 14 7s and 1 8
66 left. still 12 4s I can work on
ok, LMK when you find the last 8 'cause I'm missing one
and I have 3 Q5 but am coming up short on 2
27 4s left
if you need a clue on the other q's let me no
yes
think english spelling
gracias. another gray tile!
yeah, I have 3 of those now
there's another! bottom R. 7 now.
my cat keeps going after the ornaments
when our dog was a puppy he bit one of the lights and it broke off in his mouth and I was in a panic trying to get all the pieces. but he doesn't bother the trees now.
he just likes to bat them around the floor...he's only doing it because my wife and daughter are bother behind closed doors
Winston is sleeping in the classic golden retriever pose...on his back with back legs spread open. so weird.
this cat does that too...he's a bit odd in his poses...he likes to sit on the back of chairs splayed out like a rug
luckily winston does not get on the backs of chairs and couches. LOL
heh
My 2 1/2 year old daughter had made pretzel ornaments with glue and glitter at a friends house. I had her hang them at her height only to find my 9 month old standing and eating the pretzels.
ooh, yummy
oh no!
finally found another u!
I feel like my family members unmop all the time. not a word?
unimoper...someone who gets pouty by themselves
something written down is unoral
a cow ought to be a mooer
if you take someone's title away, you may unearl them
agreed, I said that earlier.
im 7-8 please?
(on the cow)
ah, glanced up at the wrong time
I guess that's my last 8, nan. still only have one i
That must be a tall nine month old to reach the height level of a two year old.
im+jewelery ornament
ty mael
ok that is a weird one, thx
I swore I tried that before...must have been with the un
well that's the 8s done...and 7s halfway...tx Mael
the un isn't next to the P!
I tried it with the un too, in case taking them away was a thing :)
yes, I mean those oysters are obviously un7ed
right
still need 15 7s, 9 4's, and 43 of the rest
16 4s, 13 5s, 18 6s and 11 7s
7 tiles greyed...I,D,N,U,O,Q and L
mo 7 please?
hi all. 110 left here
looking at usps. wouldn't it be nice if you could print out regular postage at home instead of having to go buy stamps?
50 to go
hi harry
no mo7 yet for me nan
I thought you could do that carla
hi all
me either, nan
harry!
hi nan - I don't have an mo7 either
well done, mool
hi carla
tx nan
I didn't see where, peri. I know you can print out priority mail postage for packages.
57 left. moo has passed me
I thought there were third parties that let you print stamps
oh, finished the i!
8 gray tiles
I have never tried so I am not sure about the stamps. I always go to the post office
I did a trial of stamps.com. possible they do but it was like $20/month.
help with ha6/8 please
I rarely send anything any more
picking up cards from walgreens so I'll just get regular non-holiday stamps from them
ha7/8 peri? looks like ca7/8
You can mail packages from home with a USPS account.
ty carla
I don't have ca7/8
stamps.com apparently
Mr. Ragusa from laverne and shirley
vehicle and not yours but
ca7/8 sounds like a character on the sopranos
And I think you can order stamps to be mailed to you.
Carmine...You know I'd go from rags to riches...
stamps.com allows you to print stamps at home
oops Molly
you can, Molly, but it says add 2-3 days right now
ty for ca7/8 espec. Molly
Stamps.com charges you more than the value of the stamps.
well yes
harry, it's good you're here. I said laverne & shirley earlier but it fell on non-pop cultured ears ;)
hah - I don't think the words "culture" and "laverne and shirley" were ever mentioned in the same sentence before
Anyone who missed Laverne & Shirley missed some good stuff. Especially Lenny and Squiggy.
I'm not sure I "miss" laverne & shirley
didn't squiggy just die
laverne's father was the best character
it was not my favorite show
yeah he did Carla
wasn't it a spin off from something...was it happy days?
yes mool
ok, I'm going to have to make lunch. it's almost 2! but I did get 4 things done on my to-do list.
one of many but think it lasted the longest
yep, happy days. didn't richie & the boys meet them and go out or something?
mork and mindy went on for awhile
I think NCIS may be the longest lasting spin-off but I'm not sure
yeah, the house for mork & mindy is about 20 minutes from me
still there
though not, thankfully, "joanie loves chachi"
oh, were you saying longest lasting of happy days spinoffs?
one of those law & orders might rival it
yeah
God, Robin Williams was a baby in those days.
love NcIS though
or the simpsons if you consider that a spin off
Well yeah, except Law & Order isn't a spin off from Happy Days
neither is NCIS
Or The Simpsons
hah - imagine Potsie as an assistant Da
DA
The Fonz could be judge
oh yeah, I think SVU might be the longest. Simpsons started on Tracey Ullmann show but is it a spinoff?
Technically yes.
I think NCIS is the only spinoff I watch/ed that I didn't watch the original.
Yeah seems it's technically a spin-off according to some
According to Google, The Simpsons is the longest running spinoff
it's the longest running show period, isn't it?
longest running animated show for sure
the jeffersons was a long-lived spinoff. As was Rhoda
per wiki, the longest of all at 694 episodes, with SVU in 2nd at 481
yeah, the Simpsons has been going 31 years...longest running tv show
yeah mork and mindy run 4 years Laverne and Shirley ran 6 years
32 seasons, 22 for SVU
Gunsmoke and Law & Order second at 20 years
NCiS spin off of Jag
gunsmoke had more episodes than SVU but less seasons
I liked the original Law & Order, but the SUV one was not my fave
wonder if the seasons lasted longer for gunsmoke
I was just about to post the exact same thing!
please send me stats and clues for Q words. ty.
I much preferred the original L&O
ares
oops sorry
never mind just found one of them. ty
Ah The Jeffersons. I loved George and Weezie.
And if you want to get long and involved, Good Times was a spinoff of Maude, which was a spinoff of All In The Family. Does that make it a spinoff spinoff?
walk time - bbl
I never watched any of the law and order spinoffs
but I really enjoyed the original
help please a clue for the mo7/32
sorry don't have it.
that must be my missing M from there
I don't have it either
isn't monera the kingdom of bacteria?
it's not those who flash their butts at others
Or a personalized chain restaurant
Harry, I swear, only you would know that
I make my students know it, so I should know it too...
well it's not that small european country famous for casinos and formula 1 racing
I looked up the definition for mo7 and almost fell asleep reading it
that's too many points, moo
I didn't know the points, but now I do
sorry
no prob
You guys, Harry practically gave the word awaly
100 to go. I'm finding this grid difficult.
but shorty did say the points
Or away
yeah, lot's of words
:)
didn't help anyway :)
still not finding it with HH giving it away
also the na6/24 is making me really hungry
oh, found it
which one harry?
oh, I did have that one, HH
the one served by se5/6?
ty - ddin't have those :)
finally got the M7. now that M gray!
finally got mo7.
yeah, tx for the clue earlier HH
ah - kingdoms are capitalized.
That is hilarious Harry. I thought you had it because of what you said.
LOL
nope :) silly me
I wonder if they have a mooselane in Alaska?
ok, going to do some more things. BBL for last 52.
Not all variations of words translate. For instance, the sounds cows make works, but not one who makes that sound and plural.
maybe ones who moo are moomakers
They definitely have mooselanes in Canada
moomaker? wasn't that an ian fleming book?
Yes, featuring the evil vixen Udder Galore
and Dr Moogo Drax
bbl - have a fun day!
ciao HH
going to step away gain myself...38 to go
finally got more than half
hi again - I'm not sure about mo5lanes but we do have mo5 crossings -- the darn things aren't any smarter than the deer and they don't cross where the signs are :D
I have two qu5s - what do you suppose I'm missing?
qu 6-7 and 3 x 5
still looking for that mo 7 - not sure if it begins with the celestial orb or like the gambling country in europe
That's okay Nan. Some of our human pedestrians are dumber than the mo5
lol - true, molly
Now that the majority of people are "working from home" aka out walking their dogs, jogging or riding their bikes, you have to watch out constantly for people just strolling or rolling across the road in front of you without even stopping.
does anyone have a clue for the mo 7 please? not getting it from earlier comments
perople have forgotten that they are not the only person on the street. One walked into me and then when I was backing up to leave my street spot, wlaked right behind the car without a glance. hair raiding.
hair raising. fingers mispositioned.
cybernan did you get the mo 7? I'm still looking .
no cig - still haven't found it -- don't think anyone else here has either
mopes
oops
I figure it has to begin with Da Vinci's famous lady in the Louvre
and before she contacted the kissing disease.
Starts like cash ends with not walked
thanks
*!*~*!* ty ty ty, molly
hagd everyone : )
Finally taking a rest break. 209 left. Playing for about 30 minutes...
I'm back from errand running. Of course nothing went as planned.
Welcome to m y world...=)
still don't have stamps for my xmas cards
I have sent them this late before, but I think this year they will def. get there after xmas so I may as well order stamps from usps.com
I still have all my packages to ship. That is EVERYONE!
Won't get them out until at least Wednesday.
I told my mom she might get her presents after she gets the vaccine and I can drive them to her.
LOL!
My motto...It is what it is.
I never mail packages at Xmas. I think she'd rather see me in person anyway.
If I don't ship, theyndon't receive. Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
I'm sure once the boys are on their own I will have to mail packages.
I'm really wondering how there are 7 more C's in there.
have you finished the right H, bea? I'm missing one.
2 of 20 there. Sorry, Toots. I will be of no help today.
that's okay
Do you have the wading bird?
yes, and I keep trying the drug, but it isn't really there
Do younhave the legal word that is similar?
got it, it was adding an s to a 4. rolling my eyes
Hi all. Any clues for the U words? Not getting any of them
Rone
Roon
Oops sorry

un6.24 is closed
Ty
what is a roof 8>
un5.14 add body part
Ty got it.
Also need the 8s please. Any and all. Ty
mkg, this is about the third or fourthntime you have asked for *8's. Each time someone has given you a clue.
Oops so sorry
Too much multitasking
And I haven't ben on here much. If you are going to ask for clues, at least have the courtesy towait for them. Or go back through the chat to findmyour clues. This is really annoying.
We are all multitasking at this time of the year. Again, I think it is rude and inconsiderate of you to continually ask for the sam clues.
Apologies.
I'm over and out...
bye bea!
Bye Bea. Hi folks.
ori!
Hi Ori
Missed Bea
origami any rain?
Yes, finally, Harry. Rained off and on for two days and is now clear and beautiful.
that's a bit of a relief. I hope you get more.
wish we could share
80 to go!
49 here
hello, again, hello
welki!
hi welki!
what is my missing L, people?
We usually only get about 20 in of rain here. But this year is particularly bad.
the swedish masseur
yes - what welki said
or la5/10 which sounds like a plural
LOL, it was the 4
thx!
now just need 2 T's to gray a column
along with the vaccine, they should import sheets of ice to california and just lay them down on the dry parts - for sure, we have plenty
Hi Welki!
World wide not enough ice.
(and yes, i know all about the dwindling arctic ice pack)
hey welk
dolly!
marks!
and owwwwl!
hey!
TO!
TO that caption is really really small font. something about bamboo flooring in a panic room?
carla!
Hokie!!
Good to see you all!
let's all !!!
"This is precisely why I did not want bamboo flooring."
ah got it :)
it's like a group hug here
it was hurting my eyes :)
.... and why my husband didn't put down chocolate tiles
:D
any experieinced ebay ers here?
we are awaiting snow
us too - hopefully wed night
I have bought a few things in past years but I don't think I've ever sold anything. have a lot put aside to try.
not me, postage in canada is ridiculously expensive
my son is selling my dad's coin collection on ebay
so the big storm is the exact day of my pre holiday haircut. what are the odds? I need to go play the lottery
i am a buyer
Let me know how the coin selling goes.
slow, mkg. very slow.
i typically wear my hair very short, but i'm starting to look more and more like ringo starr every day
i am watching a book where there are no bids. ends in a dew hours. no bidders. i want to offer half.
nothing wrong with ringo starr. Maybe you can get a thing going with Barbara Bach?
well, when he had hair
welk i have a ponytail now.
Where is he trying to sell them?
I think you can do that TO, and then set a max bid and it will automatically go up to that until it hits your max.
it's not hard to picture you with a ponytail - probably looks really cute
lol i will text you a photo and then you will retract that
If “no** is in the grid, why isn’t no**er in the grid? One who does it........weird.
there's a fine line between looking like ringo or looking like george carlin.
several examples of that today, mkg
74 to go - gotta run. good night all
i am cleaning- friend selling my collections on etsy- and i found the t shirt i got for you from the radio station
will try the goatee next, harry
!
bye harry!
yesterday, owl, ru said he was going to grow out his mustache and i said, 'me, too'
:D
i saw that. stealth babbling.
or saturday - i can't keep track anymore
we're trying to purge, too, but not getting as much gone as quick as i'd like
the tree has been sitting in its box in the living room. no spirit
i am disappointed that no one wants my hand painted italian ceramic dinner/coffeeware
she has sold everything cat related in two weeks. and also the elvis collector radio tin .
hmm, sounds nice.
every piece is signed - i'm not going to toss it. i'll use it to bring baked goods when we start visiting again and 'forget' the plates each time
microgreens in the espresso cups :)
have you seen calamity ware? i am so sorry i did not know about this wonderful thing before. not much left to buy.
can you sell via FB for porch pick up?
hey guys, back to try and get some of these last 38 knocked off
moo!
would solve my gift problems
yes you can - i've done it a few times. e-transfer works
hey hoke, you're back :)
have made it to 46 but very stuck. still 5 4s left. 13 7's.
19 fours left for me
sorry that should be 9 4s
yeah, I'm back sans stamps
stampless even
but I got my cards & gas & picked up something from a friend's house that I loaned back in Feb.
ah, there's a 4
I do have 11 grayed tiles
hi mool
does anyone want to listen to a traditional christmas concert? i listened to the Bach Choir yesterday, it was wonderful.. Calming.
what was it on, TO?
only 8 greyed here
hey welk, happy Moon Day
hi moo
hey TO...a very happy Moon Day to you too
happy moo day?
well, I'm not so conceited as to think I have my own day :)

that link didn't work for me but I searched Bach Choir and found some things I will listen to, thanks!
if you take ibuprofen, won't you unache?
link worked for me just now
hmm
the latest concert it "Opening Up Our Hearts"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgqJEj\nbpbY8
LOL Hokie, makes sense to me!
ever been driving along...and there's this noise...and you can't figure out what it is...well it's a carhum
how many c's do you need, moo? I still have 7 and can't fathom what they might be, so I wonder if they are weird, made-up words like carhum.
but make less sense than that
if i may go back about 30 minutes, was the reference to sweish masseur a clue?
I need 7 c
not really. I asked what my missing L was, and that was the response. and it was that.
I also am looking for the seven c's
i.e. looks like a swedish man's name
or a metallica drummer
oh yeah, that was my last l
the missing l was a swedish masseur?
in name only ;)
it's l4/4?
yes
ok thank you. i thought it was l6
i think it's time to figure out dinner. later, all
e
here's the link to the bach choir owl was talking about: https://tinyurl.com/y96x8cwl
ohhh, from bethlehem, pa!
Any clues for the lower M?
I have 4 weird mu's from that one
Got a couple - thanks carla
as I suspected, the remaining 2 are mu, but I can't find.
are they a 5 and 6?
if so think of wet mud
wet dirt, duh
yes, they are
well you've gotten the 1st 3 letters, go up to the right
LOL, multi-tasking. the wet mud was enough. ;)
:)
Could I have the stats for the first column I please?
in5/12
Thanks carla
9 left after listing. these must be very odd words.
32 left...calls :)
still 4 c's!
still 7
did find 2 other words tho
Finding the q’s hard today. I normally try to do them first but still only got 2
there's the one without any other vowels, jax
if you need clues let us know Jax
just ask us ;) in british english
I could I have the stats please I’ve got 2x qu5/16
qu5/18, qu6/27, 7/40
okay, qu6/27
oh, hoke beat me to it...sorry was answering a text :)
have you finished the S, moo?
3 s's left
2 s's left
I have 2 I can't find but don't want to ask and give them away
i cannot make an in5/12 for the life of me. halp!
1 s left
a limb, dan
ask away, I'm good
fireworks!!!!
ugh thank you carla!
nice going dolly :)
well done, dolly.
still 28 left here
Think of a couple dan
I have an se6 I can't find and sh7
any help needed?
Struggling with the qu6&7
se 6...old person or someone who puts thing in a box
or container, or coffin...or pehaps someone who weatherproofs your home :)
holy cow, that se6 is twisty
thinking of how to clue Jax
the old one or the other one?
that last 3 are poetic before word
the spiral one I assume
if someone asks something, jax, it is a qu5 (not in grid), qu6 is just a weird spelling
qu6/7 think english spelling of one of your 5s
the old one, moo. or what my youngest kid is.
Thanks got them
yeah, the other one is even twistier
that was a totally new word to me
because I kept doing se5 spanish mr. with the other r
I can't go backwards
yeah...if it's any consolation, I just found it before you asked for it
the sh7...I believe is a reference to chewing tobacco
it is some, thanks
nope, it is actually to do with a cigar...as it's alternate spelling...that doesn't begin with s
that was my last s, and it got me a second 7 as a result
so 26 to go...five of them 7s
4 of my last 8 are 7s
yoiks
ominoose - how the condemned man feels as he approaches the gallows
well, looked up the sh7. I guess that's my ch7 too
yep
yeppers
I looked LOL
I'm not into cigars, but was familiar with the word
yeah, I've seen it before but not something in my head
Yeah, still needed you to ask with the length and starting letters for me to think of it
I thought I waited until you said you finished the S?
No, I said go ahead...it's all good
Didn't want you waiting on me
aha, words
I do appreciate you asking, but don't want to hold up others on my account
4 7s to go
oh, you won't. I will eventually look it up. have 2 o's I'm about to look up.
Good morning all :)
hey liz...happy Tyr's Day to you
lizlin!
And Norse greetings all around :)
Hope you are having a good Wednesday Liz, aren't you all a day ahead of us?
Still Tuesday here Molly - 9.44 am
But yes, the day has got off to a good start.
Driving today for the first time since my hip replacement.
yep, still Monday here
Perhaps Molly is willing 2021 to arrive a bit faster. Get rid of this year!
Having just had our annual pest inspection of the house, perhaps not seeing the ro5/14 was a deliberate oversight.
And apologies for posting an unasked for stat!
no worries
I am down to 3 C words
I've still got 21 to find.
finally monkeyed a stupid one
I'm so frazzled by holiday hoo-ha that I don't even know what day it is. People who don't have to work have it a lot easier this time of year.
60 to go. I am toast. listing this one later.
That must be tough, Molly.
true Molly, but people who don't work never know what day it is :D
It's true that not writing the date on the board definitely makes it harder to know what day it is!
Grrr! American spelling catching me out again!
Ha! I have the same trouble with british spelling!
Makes sense :)
of course moo can see them all
I did not get the first ae4 until the list. even though we have it all the time.
Mattygroves too, I'd think.
qu5/18 pls? just cannot see it
There's only one vowel in that word, TO
yeah, I was asking her about which way she pronounces vitamins earlier today and she said she does both. also says both zee and zed.
TO, no other vowels
q + our south african (I think ) player
I understand that - there are words here which are used differently to the UK and I tend to use both - pronunciation not so much though.
thanks liz and carla
yw
np
I've missed some very obvious words :(
right there, you said "differently to". I just heard that on a documentary I was watching about queen elizabeth. we would say differently from.
I just always find it fascinating
sh
are you shushing me, luv?
I love language and agree that the differences and similarities are fascinating - like the time when my Aussie husband, teaching in the UK told the kids to "take their pants off" (putting on shorts for a football lesson) - pants has a totally different meaning in the UK>
what does it mean there?
Underpants
ah
what do they call pants?
hi all! i do this puzzle to keep my languages separated. when i think, its a mixture of languages. it helps me with spelling as well.
Or the literal understanding of a class of 5 year olds who were told by their new teacher to get undressed for their Phys Ed lesson - sot the did.
Trousers
*so they did
what is your first language, atlkru?
english native speaker
which english ;)
I have such admiration for people who play babble where English is not their first language. I don't think I could play in another language, even those that I have some knowledge of.
me too
despite that, sometimes it feels like im forgetting american english. i speak that and a dialect (AAVE)
OK - have to go. Appointment at 11am. Back to finish my final few letter. Good luck everyone and enjoy your day / evening
i catch myself typing other languages a lot
well, I have admiration for people who can speak more than one language. I can read enough to mostly get by in spanish but I can't really make sentences
bye!
bye!
just had to google AAVE. never heard it called that.
haha indeed
I also speak a dialect of american english that some people have trouble with - appalachian english
not saying they have trouble with AAVE, saying they do have trouble with App. Eng.
i am familiar with it. but it has been a while since i've heard it in person
where did you grow up?
mississippi. ive lived many palces in the states
I've only lived 2, 3 counting college
i love traveling as well
we did a long cross country trip several years ago and I really didn't grasp how large and varied our country is before then.
our nation is so beautiful and diverse.
indeed
ive been to a few other countries. would love to travel for a few years
trying to think...I'm not sure I've ever been to mississippi!
yeah, I've only been to Mexico and some Caribbean countries. would love to make it to Europe some day.
oh, and I've been to canada
if you like nature, you'd like mississippi. very wooded and few large cities.i lived right on the edge of the delta
europe is pretty. the buildings are so old. blew my mind.
we do. once we're empty nesters we are going to take our RV and explore more of the country we didn't see before. will have to check out Miss.
nice chatting with you. i must go study. if i could, i would travel all the time. rv-ing is the way to go!
bye all!
yes it is! nice chatting with you. Bye!
