Not quite as bad as one year when the street got blocked up for a few days with a number of stuck cars and a tow truck

12:45 am

We had snow that turned to slush on the streets, then it went down to -8 last night, so driving is quite interesting

12:46 am

this conversation is making me want to make the sign of the cross, and i'm not even catholic

12:47 am

It's been pretty warm here since the snowfall, but the snow hasn't really melted much yet.

1:19 am

oh my

1:19 am

cat walked on keyboard, you didn't notice and put your first word in with it?

1:20 am

it's a very literary cat, hurshy. almost all of macbeth's speech there...loll

1:21 am

hmmm, guess i need to re4 macbeth again, i don't remember that at all

1:22 am

io love logging on this time of the morning watching you talk to yourself hurshy!!Happy christmas eve to you all

1:22 am

it's right after he's had four cups of red wine...

1:22 am

g'day dee

1:23 am

how's the weather over there? how's that for conversation?

1:24 am

G'day Rose! It's foggy here...I'm sick of foggy damp weather. At least you're starting summer!

1:25 am

{{{{{{KAM}}}}}}}}

1:26 am

*takes a peek out the window* summer you say ?? then why do i have the heater on? huh ? tell me why ??

1:27 am

Surprise its raining. Itseems to have rained almost non=stop since september. And living on the coast very high winds.Because of our covid record France has closed its borders to us so we have several thousand lorries parked along all the access roads to the port of vDover so all in all its pretty rotten!!Buit at least we know youve got summer!!

1:27 am

oh and the clock they sent did not tick after i explicitly said it had to have an audible tick. sorry honey. it

1:27 am

{{{Rose}}}

1:28 am

I've had the heater on most of the day trying to get it up to 70C in here. I've been wrapped in a blanket most of the day. My heater needs servicing asap.

1:28 am

gonna be a New Years gift, or maybe birthday, or maybe batmitzvah, or maybe easter. pick one, any one.

1:29 am

Darn, everyone lies to make a sale. I'll just live without the tick. I got my satellite radio going on the computer and hooked up some good speakers, so it's not dead silent in here all day.

1:29 am

dear heaven dee. how utterly dreary.

1:30 am

oh, Kam. i found out it is the second hand which ticks. so i have found one. it's on its way to me now.

1:31 am

dee, how about running down the line of lorries and letting every second tyre down. that should cause some amusement...loll

1:32 am

good golly miss molly Kamanjah, why on earth would you want it to be 70C ???

1:33 am

ahhh, hurshy. didn't you know what hot stuff our ms kam is made of? loll.... sending a box of sunshine over. any donors?

1:34 am

Yeah, those new-fangled clocks without a tick are for people who love silence. The second hand that ticks is what I loved about the old clock. I could count seconds by the tick. A sweeping second hand just moves smoothly around each minute and isn't the same. I know that sounds so silly, but the tick is comforting - especially after 20 years of having the tick. No tock, just tick...tick...tick... lol!

1:35 am

70 F - stupid me.

1:37 am

teehee

1:38 am

i have a nice clock shaped like a cat which ticks

1:40 am

Hursh - I had a wonderful bird clock, but it kept losing 20 minutes a day as soon as I put it back on the wall where it lived for 20 years. I put it on a table, and it worked fine. I propped it up on a chair, and it worked fine. So, I tried putting it back up on the wall and dropped it. Oops - it broke into pieces.

1:41 am

so sorry to hear that :(

1:41 am

and that's what i am trying to find for her, hurshy.

1:41 am

i always feel like life should have a rewind button when something like that happens

1:41 am

Lol, I agree!

1:42 am

Rose has been trying to help me find a new "ticker" clock.

1:42 am

it's not a bird clock, but it certainly does have the audible tick. so i hope Kam's silence will be filled just a little for her.

1:43 am

if it were a cat clock you could pretend the cat had killed the bird

1:43 am

whoot, whoot, just found my second 9... on my own...

1:43 am

For those who don't know, I lost my husband in mid-October. Life just isn't the same, and then the comforting tick of the clock broke.

1:44 am

oh i'm SO sorry kam!

1:44 am

Thanks, Hurshy

1:48 am

i am 95% done

1:49 am

3 to go here.

1:49 am

oh you're so fast

1:50 am

it's a real drag at this end

1:50 am

can you tell me what the 8 is that wasn't called? we had ae8 x 2, de8, lo8, re8 x 2

1:51 am

fe8/55

1:52 am

any relation to the 7s?

1:53 am

has the same first four letters. does that help?

1:53 am

might do, let's find out

1:55 am

well it seems like it must have the first FIVE of ONE of them

1:56 am

YES, got it! tyvm

1:56 am

yay, hurshy.

1:58 am

de-re8.50 = when you have to go back to work because your pension isnt enough!!

1:59 am

don't you just hate it when you put in your last word, and you're absolutely positive that you did so before but now it goes in.

2:07 am

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all who celebrate and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all. i have finished the Christmas pressies, now to double check i have everything for tomorrow's celebrations. i am so looking forward to this. after 2020 has finished i don't want to ever see it again. love, hugs, and sincerest of wishes for everything good for you all. xx

For those Babblers not already aware of this my Facebook account was hacked sometime within the last 48 hours. If you should receive a video from me, please do not play it or open it, just delete it immediately. I have since taken steps to tighent my security and passwords for FB. I see other babblers have also been affected by this hacker, so please take care.

5:11 am

Hi crossy. Yes, I got a video and ignored it. I never click on attachments in Messenger.

5:11 am

tighten*

5:24 am

Yes, Crossy, I immediately deleted that.

6:08 am

Annoying that people having nothing better to do with their time and go around hacking peoples accounts. :(

6:09 am

Yes. I received the same message/video from another Babbler.

6:10 am

If I ever desire to send a Babbler a video, I let them know ahead of time.

6:11 am

I must get ready for work now. Stay safe and well, Crossy.

6:11 am

You take care Scrabby, and have a good Christmas.

Afternoon all - merry Christmas eve! May I please have stats for the E in the second row, second column and the O in the fourth row, second column?

er 6/24, don't have the O yet

Aww, I should have seen that. Thanks!

Dammit, I should have seen that one too. Thanks again!

it's a weird puzzle today.

6:34 am

Oh yeah Matty, I bet you chat that oo word up all the time. : D Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

Yesterday was Jeff's 60th birthday. Despite the lockdown times, we had fun!

6:39 am

Good for you. I say have fun and flip the bird to COVID.

Gifts, a surprise birthday cake made by someone in the village, Hannah (Jeff's daughter) and I cooked dinner, and a surprise zoom call in the evening. Low key but fun

6:49 am

Nothing low key about that. Sounds like a good time.

And Hannah has found her own place - moves in on Sunday!

6:50 am

Oh well Merry Christmas to you then. : D

6:53 am

morning all

7:04 am

there's only one more sleep 'til Christmas. excitement in the 2bit house is at a fever pitch

7:04 am

morning aslindy & all

7:10 am

not much excitement here. I miss that

7:13 am

we think it may wane after this year, but it seemed cruel to not continue what we can here in 2020

7:16 am

It is a sad thing when kids stop getting excited about Christmas. That's when it's time for grandkids.

7:17 am

not everyone gets to have grandkids

7:18 am

This I know, I don't have any either.

7:22 am

any clue for either to6,24 please?

7:23 am

funny story - i was on briefly when I first woke up, and mystified how a pretty large grid can have no s and no ing.

8:25 am

I only saw the ing much later. and thus coffee.

8:26 am

Looking back thru the chat I see that some Babble users facebook accounts were hacked. I got a notification from my Apple security app that the Babble passwords may have been compromised and that I should change my password. Might be a good idea for all Babble users.

8:27 am

Thanks, chris. I will do that.

8:27 am

thanks for the heads-up chris

8:27 am

Love your holiday wool piece.

8:30 am

Your welcome. Thanks Bea. That's a piece I did and gave as a gift. I had a pattern for a large wall hanging with 7 different sized panels. I made them individually and gave them as gifts. Stitching has been a great stress reliever during this difficult year.

8:31 am

Yes, I've been glad to have my hobbies this year.

8:32 am

Hi all.

8:33 am

hi mkg

8:33 am

I'm grateful to my Mom - who insisted that we kids learn how to do things like sewing, wood working, drawing, etc. My siblings and I have life long hobbies that have served us well this year. My husbands family didn't develop hobbies. The isolation has been harder on him.

8:38 am

I don’t know how anyone gets through life without hobbies.

8:38 am

Any clues for the 9s or 10s welcome by the way. With stats of course. Ty.

We went out looking at Christmas lights last night. One neighboorhood had put out luminaries all along the streets. It was so pretty.

9:14 am

I got a really good loaf of artisan garlic bread yesterday. I think I'm going to graze on that all day, watch it rain and wonder what it's like to be with family for Christmas.

9:15 am

That sounds really nice Bea

my last neighborhood did luminaries but usually on a weekend. this one is much larger and one lady organized a big section for Xmas Eve luminaries but she quit doing it so I've been doing my own the last couple of year.

years

I love drinking coffee out of my little spode xmas mugs

9:18 am

Do you use the tea lights and sand?

that's what we used in paper bags but I have some tin ones from Target that I put the battery tea lights in

10:05 am

This isn't the first time they have shot at this kid.

10:05 am

I love how the media is spinning COVID. Notice you are not seeing any news about crime going up. My friends who are police officers tell a different story.

10:06 am

yeah, I remember you saying it before

10:06 am

what do you mean bea?

10:06 am

Drug deals, ru.

There was money scattered in the street.

10:10 am

wow. did they shoot the guy? or just at him?

10:10 am

Not enough, apparently

10:10 am

I think they shot him. EMS is at the house. Not too serious as he ran there after getting shot.

10:11 am

Who needs reality TV? Bea can just look out the window.

10:11 am

scary

10:12 am

Maybe the people who live on the other corner got it on tape. They have video running 24/7

10:12 am

sure it wasn't just a gun nut chasing kids off his lawn :D

10:12 am

just realized I don't have any of the i on the 2. are these ir?

10:13 am

ig5/14 is the one I have from there

10:13 am

10:14 am

Yes, ir5.14 comes from there. I think.

10:14 am

wow, can't believe I didn't see ig5

10:14 am

Carla, did your mom get her package?

10:15 am

yes! less that 24 hours.

10:15 am

Wow! I ned to see where my two packages have been located.

10:16 am

how can it be that I can't iterate this puzzle or get an iteration out of it

10:17 am

I know, harry

it's simply irrational

10:17 am

10:22 am

hi all. Hope all is well with y'all. May I have a clue for the O -single?

10:22 am

I think it helped that my mom is only 3.5 hours away. not sure where the package goes to near her to get put on a delivery truck, but must've been pretty close.

10:22 am

hi, jbp. something the tin man is always doing

okay this is for phil spector christmas.

https://tinyurl.com/yapk36vp

https://tinyurl.com/cpre9cx

so we have indy, alternative, and classic rock.

3:59 pm

i will listen to bach choir again later.

hoping weather holds off for a bit . it's going to be very bad,

i need to secure the decorations. they were blowing away in the last storm

4:02 pm

Dominick the Donkey just came on here - worst song EVER

4:02 pm

must be 5 pm

4:02 pm

I didnt decorate this year.

lol you dare to disrespect lou monte?

4:03 pm

dominick is just god awful. Christmas in Killarney runs a close second

my tree would not light. and it was shedding. the new one will be delivered dec. 30

i really don't get christmas in new york. not a pogues fan.

i will stick with robert drake at wxpn.

4:06 pm

4:17 pm

wader weer

4:17 pm

Damn, Nan can pack away the food, can't she? How does she do it through that mask?

4:17 pm

Reuse a hammer,spanner etc

4:18 pm

Oops. Sorry about that. Off to the PB for me. I hope that someone left some Christmas Goodies there, not not that I need any more right now.

4:18 pm

Tx zoom!

4:18 pm

isn't that a 6-9 combo?

4:19 pm

Sorry yes it is.

4:19 pm

Someone who has now reached an age on no more work.

4:19 pm

Always goodies in the PB for you, wht. Merry Christmas.

4:20 pm

I don't know why you give me such a hard time for wearing a mask, Molly --- it is only common sense to do so.

4:20 pm

Or another one someone re putting ceramic squares up in the bathroom.

4:21 pm

that was it -- ty zoom

4:25 pm

I am proud of you, nan! Wearing a mask is just about the kindest and most patriotic thing a person can do right now!

4:25 pm

Indeed!!

4:27 pm

I was SO vexed yesterday - had to go to pick something up at a store, could not avoid it. Stood six feet apart, but was treated to the lovely lady behind me, having a VERY loud cell phone conversation for all to hear - she was gabbing about how she was hoping to get her test results back by Saturday, since her brother's only took three days. I was furious. STAY HOME until you get the results!!!!

4:28 pm

wow - exactly Trif

4:29 pm

So true!!

4:29 pm

I wasn't giving you a hard time about wearing a mask Nan. Just making a joke.

4:29 pm

worse than the woman here whose teenage son tested positive, so she kept him home but sent the 11 year old to school, thus passing it on to the elementary school

4:29 pm

With the new strain of the virus mutating all over the place I wear my mask all the time except when I am at home or in my parents house.

4:30 pm

I miss being at school with my students. Distance learning just IS NOT the same

4:30 pm

As it was a joke that you ate the two omelets and 30 cupcakes.

4:30 pm

At least it should be safer though, Trif.

4:31 pm

we don't have kids coming home right now -- we are being asked to stick socializing within the household -- for us that is just hubby and me

4:32 pm

Well I have finished.May I wish all of you who celebrate it a very Merry Christmas as best as you can under the circumstances.

4:32 pm

No one coming here for Christmas either. King of humbug-y

4:32 pm

Merry Christmas to you too zoom

4:32 pm

same here, cybernan. No one coming here tomorrow. I was so angry when i heard the TSA processed over or near a million passengers each of the last 9 days. how stupid can people be????

4:33 pm

merry christmas, zooz. SO GLAD you are here to celebrate with!

4:34 pm

People ARE stupid. This is nothing new.

4:40 pm

2nd ti 6/24 please?

4:42 pm

Congrats, zoom!

4:43 pm

Second ti6/24 gerund of sleepy

4:45 pm

From a Peanuts cartoon I saw the other day... Lucy, "Scientists are saying that Covid-19 is spread from nasal and oral orifices, but the big spread of all is coming from assholes"

4:47 pm

A mask down there would be pretty uncomfortable nan

4:48 pm

anyone found that 2nd ti 6/24 please?

4:48 pm

the second is redoing the bathroom with ceramic

4:49 pm

ceramics in fact

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

4:54 pm

I clued the second ti6/24 at 4:43

4:54 pm

oops -- sorry -- I was thinking of the re 8, which I had, but not the ti 6 :(

4:55 pm

But I really clued the third so never mind

4:55 pm

just need that pesky ar 7 I couldn't find last night and a couple of k's

4:56 pm

if you put a g infront of ar7 you are washing your throat out with salt water

4:57 pm

got it - thought it rhymed with the throat cure word -- just realized it is a gerund

4:58 pm

so thank you ru and pen ( who tried to clue it last night)

4:58 pm

Oh great. Thanks Ru. Now I'm picturing anal masks.

4:59 pm

guess I am the only one who thought the peanuts joke was funny

5:00 pm

:D

5:01 pm

ka 7 and 6 please?

5:02 pm

one rhymes with moving a cart around

5:02 pm

the other rhymes with to take a trip away

5:04 pm

got the 7 ty -- trying to come up with something that means to take a trip away

5:05 pm

um vacation?

5:06 pm

only word I can think of is cancel

5:07 pm

One na6 under God

5:07 pm

well it's been fun.. gotta put on my butt mask and take the dog for a walk

5:08 pm

Feel free to fa4 all you want Ru, you're covered.

5:08 pm

knew you'd take a crack at it

5:09 pm

lol - thought you meant to remove a trip somehow

5:09 pm

ty ru and molly.

5:10 pm

That does it for me. Merry Christmas -- we can all celebrate by raising a glass at midnight or our mimosas in the morning---Slainte Mhath! :D
