7:24 am

Nor me either.

7:24 am

oh!!! got it!

7:24 am

Nor me. Correct grammar.

7:25 am

it's the part of the fridge or air conditioner which might go on the fritz.

Someone who abridges books for Readers Digest could be one of these

7:25 am

nbs now ):

7:25 am

:) even

7:26 am

That was what I thought, Matty.

7:30 am

finished the Rs

7:30 am

I'm just starting the third row.

All done. Have a great day all

7:31 am

wtg mg! hagd

7:31 am

Bye, Matty

7:31 am

Congrats!

7:31 am

hi une

7:31 am

Freezing aid is not exactly what a co9 does, but I can see why someone might think that

7:32 am

Clue for te7 please?

7:32 am

Good morning, Molly and Une

7:32 am

te7 is stress

7:32 am

Hey harry :-)

7:32 am

ooh that's a twisty one

7:32 am

Tx Bea!

7:33 am

20 to go. must make coffee - bbl!

just started the coffee pot here. 131 left.

8:02 am

I have to have my coffee pot on a timer.

8:03 am

morning, all

8:04 am

Good morning, welki.

8:07 am

hello all

8:08 am

I'm with you Bea. There is no waiting around for coffee in the morning for me.

we always love it when we remember to do it the night before and turn on a timer

hey welki, lindy

8:08 am

Hello, lindy.

8:09 am

I usually get my coffee ready for the next day while prepping dinner or cleaning up after.

8:10 am

me too, bea - although i'm sure that there are some people who would frown on me pre-grinding the beans for the next day.

we decided we hate grinding beans

any time we buy whole beans (the last one was accidental) we definitely do it the night before

so no frowning here

8:12 am

i like the convenience of a keurig, and usually use it during the week (when it's only me drinking coffee at home), but on holidays (like now) and weekends, we like a fresh brewed pot

8:13 am

i would like to try the nespresso, but afraid i would really like it - and the pods are really expensive

we did K cups for a while but decided to go back to a coffee maker.

I've heard great things about the nespresso

8:14 am

what brand of coffee do you drink, hokie?

ha, we will drink anything. what do you like?

8:15 am

we were buying salt spring coffee, but it's sometimes hard to find - melitta dark or ethical bold now

8:16 am

i like the kicking horse coffees, but it's like $15/pound - and i can't justify the cost

8:17 am

when we bought already ground coffee, we swore by maxwell house

none of those sound familiar. not sure what we bought in Canada

8:18 am

for k-cups, i buy kirkland (costco) pacific bold

we buy Dunkin Donuts a lot. also this blue brand that I'm drawing a blank on. they have a hawaiian one and a jamaican one we like.

8:19 am

way too much conversation from me about my coffee preferences :)

haha, everyone else is searching the grid but you and I are babbling. ;)

8:20 am

I'm stuck with 14.

8:20 am

i'd like to try jamaican blue mountain coffee

down to 96

8:20 am

i have 29 left

8:20 am

co 8/50, pls

8:20 am

I've been trying to decide what I want to cook in my air fryer.

8:21 am

I thought it was Mr. Bea's air fryer : D

8:21 am

normally, i gag at the thought of turnips (NOT rutabaga), but i'm going to give them a shot in the air fryer tonight

8:21 am

co8 is to make something smaller

8:22 am

I love roasted turnips.

8:22 am

just season them like potatoes, bea?

8:23 am

Good morning, all. I'll weigh in on the coffee name tossing. I like Trader Joe's coffee. It runs about $7.99 to $8.99 a lb.

I didn't think I would ever like turnips but roasted some in one of those home delivery meal kits and they were delicious.

Judi!

8:23 am

Yes, I spritz them with olive oil and season

8:23 am

mmmmmm ... trader joe's. i make a visit every time i'm in the states

8:24 am

The only way I like turnip is when it is mixed with carrot.

8:24 am

I got some really small white turnips at the farmers market this summer. They were so good.

8:24 am

Could you roast your own coffee beans in an air fryer??

8:25 am

I'm not sure. I'll have to look.

8:25 am

ty Bea

8:26 am

Looks, like it, Judi.

8:26 am

Well, there ya go, Bea.

8:26 am

Oh crap. Work intrudes. BBL.

8:28 am

Has anyone had Ethiopian coffee? I have heard it is really good.

not that I know of

8:29 am

i have it all the time.. it is good.. kind of chocolatey in flavor

I started drinking coffee in my early 40s and I could quit any time. mr. homie says he could give up beer but could never give up coffee.

any weird Fs? can't find one.

8:31 am

No, the Fs are pretty normal

not a lot of options

8:31 am

Normal F's

8:31 am

fe 4/5

8:31 am

one's kind of crappy though

8:31 am

lol

unpossible, mlfan

8:31 am

3 of them are related

8:32 am

LOL! That's for, ru.

8:32 am

no i meant fe 4 and 5 for you sorry

8:32 am

It's the Cs I'm having trouble with

yeah, I still have 6 c's

8:32 am

It is a good thing we have been isolated. I can't even carry on a typed conversation.

8:33 am

I still have 7 of them, sukee.

well, ru's statement leads me to what I think is the 3rd letter

duh, now I see it

2nd col gray!

8:34 am

Shit Carla, took you long enough

I'm poop at this game

8:34 am

she was trying to flush out the column

8:35 am

Scatology rules (Just ask BR)

8:35 am

Speaking of flush...

need to wipe the cobwebs out of my brain

8:35 am

7 8 9 any words related?

8:35 am

We are in the process of changing out toilets to old people height.

we have one of those, bea

8:36 am

woooo living large these days bea :D

8:36 am

I had to get a seat to add to the toilet too :)

8:36 am

8 and 9 are related.

8:36 am

if you mean low profile we have one

really nice when your legs are super sore from working out for the first time in forever. also good for bad knees

8:36 am

Speaking of which, the toilets in the womens room of my office building are like the ones they put in kindergarten classrooms.

they are higher

oh geez, molly, that's horrible

8:37 am

The 8 was clued at about 8:20

8:37 am

i don't know squat about toilet sitting

8:37 am

I was at the hospital once and there was a toilet like that Molly. I have mobility problems so it was very hard for me to get up, thought I would have to call for help :)

8:37 am

I swear they are about 10 inches off the floor. It is ridiculous

8:37 am

Why are they like that?

8:38 am

I'd complain!

my church back home has those in the preschool rooms. so tiny.

8:38 am

I use the handicapped stall simply because it has a "normal height" toilet

8:38 am

They are just trying to keep women down.

8:38 am

Toilets, like stairs, are things you don't think about when you are younger and healthier.

I always try sensei

true, sukee

8:39 am

me too

I'm already planning for bad knees. want our next house to be one level.

1st col gray!

8:40 am

I've been saying the same thing for years, Carla. Told Mr. Bea that as soon as we got the porch done we were selling this place and buying a brick ranch

8:40 am

i dont see a clue for co8 which bichon asked for

8:41 am

They replaced our toilets a couple of years ago to higher. However, it was still too low for me. Had a moment getting up out of that. Had to immediately go buy a chair so I could go to the bathroom.

8:41 am

all i saw was thank you bea

8:41 am

You can see it in the archives.

you can open the chat mlfan ;D

8:41 am

i will have to look again

8:41 am

Readers Digest offers CO******* books

8:42 am

i knew that hokie :P

8:42 am

present and past tense

I was trying the moo method of ignoring clues but just saw that one

not sure how he does it

8:42 am

What is his method?

he somehow chats and ignores clues

8:43 am

I start off wanting no clues, but after an hour I am begging for them :)

he says he doesn't look

8:43 am

ogt the 9

same here, sukee.

8:43 am

and got the co8

oh, I had the other 8 on my own and didn't realize

8:44 am

i don't recall seeing mool the last few days

8:44 am

I can't not look at the chat if it is open. I close it when there are too many clues flying

8:44 am

2nd and 3rd column grey

yeah, I wonder if he's not working and not playing

8:45 am

I liked the way it was handled by a few players last week when we had a big grid and someone started asking for the big words early. Everyone just left.

8:45 am

I seem to be stuck at 42

56 here but still haven't made it to some tiles yet

yeah, I just leave and come back later or hide the chat

I also do that for covid talk

8:47 am

I have noticed that a lot of the regular flip players are no longer around at the flip

8:47 am

Oh I definitely leave when the COVID preaching starts

I think hurshy does a lot more chatting at the flip than they're used to. :D

8:48 am

I was thinking the same thing

I will chat at the flip if I have glasses on but otherwise I can't read it. usually on my ipad then.

8:49 am

Anyone else buy a 2020 planner? What a waste of money!

8:49 am

So, we are in lockdown for a month here in Ontario. Yesterday I needed a lightbulb changed because I can't reach it but they can't come in the apartments until the end of next month. Thankfully it is not an important light.

8:49 am

I decided not to bother this year.

I bought one on my ipad and had to buy an app to use it with, bea! definitely a waste.

8:50 am

Lol, I have a couple of free calendars.

8:50 am

i have just one .. desk planner

8:51 am

sukee, will they come in if something big needs repair?

I'll just use my google calendar like I always did before I decided to get a cute digital planner

8:51 am

2020 Planner...Monday...stayed home...Tuesday...stayed home...Wednesday...stayed home...

that's a journal

phantom tincture

8:52 am

I keep a journal. But it is really more like a list of things to do. I will also make a note of things that happened that day.

8:52 am

Sorry...Monday...planned to stay home

8:54 am

I assume is like the fridge or the stove break down or I have a flood they will come in.

once again, vowel struggles

I'm sure the i's will come to me, sure

8:56 am

Last lockdown they came and removed my closet doors because I couldn't open them. Still waiting for new ones.

9:00 am

Everything grey except that C.

9:01 am

Isn't that from all the holiday travel, soodle?

9:02 am

senesce is totally a word, enable. Come on.

9:02 am

That certainly would have contributed Bea.

9:03 am

I had read that many European countries we seeing a huge spike and that it was a variant strain.

9:04 am

Alas yes. It’s déja vu.

9:04 am

I think that is the reason for our lockdown, to stop the spread from people who did not stay home at Christmas.

9:05 am

hi all .. out of lurk mode with 30 to go

ty nan

12:00 pm

*!*~*!* hagd everyone - stay safe

12:00 pm

yw

12:14 pm

Sansei doesn't mean teacher, it means a three generation Japanese emigrant, parallel to issei and nisei.

12:14 pm

dictionary.com defines it as teacher

12:14 pm

phantom conscience

12:14 pm

sen·sei /ˌsenˈsā,senˌsā/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: sensei; plural noun: sensei (in martial arts) a teacher. "Sensei Ritchie began work"

12:14 pm

ahh said sansei.. never mind! :P ill shut up

12:15 pm

yes it's originally a japanese word, came into english via martial arts, so the vowel transliteration is usually se not sa

12:15 pm

but either could be "right"

12:16 pm

Not if you follow the correct pronunciation...it would be syllabarized in Japanese with the "se" kana, not the "sa" kana.

12:18 pm

can I get the stats for the 9?

12:19 pm

The whole "kana" thing is way above my head. I will bow to either guy

12:19 pm

Sorry, cosdem, I don't have it yet.

12:20 pm

working on this plus negotiating with a car salesman at the same time... fun fun

12:20 pm

thanks molly

12:20 pm

This is a grid of many phantoms.

12:20 pm

I believe jan, I don't know written japanese at all, I just know how english-ification of foreign words from other alphabets doesn't always work

12:22 pm

Japanese transliteration is usually pretty good, probably because Japanese uses its syllabary very consistently--no irregularly written words. Chinese, though, is a transliteration mess when rendered into Roman alphabet.

12:26 pm

Cani get a clue for the co8/9 please

12:27 pm

Compact.

12:27 pm

Earlier, someone said that Reader's Digest has co versions of books in it. Forms of that.

12:27 pm

I have 17 left and am very stuck

12:28 pm

ah ok I know the word... thanks...

12:28 pm

got em!

12:28 pm

I always think of a kind of milk when I see that word.

12:38 pm

offer made .. will know within a few hours I hope

12:39 pm

This is an online negotiation?

12:39 pm

someone is doing It for me via phone

12:41 pm

Apparently I am missing something. Offer for what?

12:41 pm

ive been without a car for two years

12:41 pm

Oh, you're buying a car.

12:42 pm

yeah

12:42 pm

this would be paid in full.. no monthly payments.

12:42 pm

so let's see,

12:43 pm

Wow, that is great. I would love to buy a car outright and have no payments.

12:43 pm

I hate car negotiations so much that I won't buy a new car till somebody crashes into mine and totals it. Well, that's what has happened, planned or not.

12:44 pm

its a honda SUV. 4x4... so if I get it ill be able to do doordash/ubereats etc... so I can make money instead of sit at home and feel sorry for myself 24/7

12:44 pm

help with the first ce6 please?

12:44 pm

Those are pretty sweet cars, I have heard.

12:45 pm

cosdem - good for you to be creative. We all have to reinvent ourselves from time to time.

12:45 pm

12:46 pm

Good!

12:47 pm

12:49 pm

nvm found the ce6

12:49 pm

The other thing to remember and what I always tell my kids and other co-workers. If you don't give someone a chance to say "No" to you you never give them a chance to say "Yes" so keep on looking.

12:49 pm

thats a good point thanks

12:50 pm

Well, Cos, you must be doing something right if you can afford a car. Good for you.

12:51 pm

12:53 pm

well I have a special needs person living with me.. I take care of him and teach living skills etc.. this is achristmas bonus from his family...

12:55 pm

Bless your heart, that is a challenging task! I can imagine how grateful his family must be to have you taking care of him.

12:55 pm

Good afternoon, my Babble buddies. :)

we've had younger kids for sure :)

1:57 pm

crossy!

1:59 pm

You're 16? Good for you for playing this game. It's a great game. I wish it had existed when I was 16. We didn't even have calculators back then LOL. This would have improved my vocabulary big time.

2:01 pm

Back when I was 16, it was reading, Scrabble, and a gigantic Websters dictionary that helped with my vocabulary.

2:03 pm

send

2:03 pm

oops sorry sorry

2:22 pm

hi all! Hope your holidays have been happy.... looking for help with the 8. I have the one that means to make smaller.Stats please?

2:28 pm

2:28 pm

Is that the one you're looking for? I need help with the co 8

2:28 pm

toes

2:29 pm

Ach! Back playing after a break of a few years and I'm already putting words in the chat box in error. Mea culpa!

2:30 pm

hah focal... I came back yesterday after a few years of not playing too :)

2:30 pm

Hey!

2:32 pm

the co 8 means to make smaller. the co9 is related.

2:33 pm

the se 8 must be from a se 6/24 that I don't have yet!

2:33 pm

Oooh thanks gum, got it. Great clue!

2:34 pm

There's only one se 6/24, it's the first se.

2:35 pm

But the 7 is a word I have never heard of. Just monkey typed LOL

2:35 pm

aha -thank you! didn't try that combo.

2:35 pm

well enough for now, Happy New Year to all!

3:11 pm

Clue for se8 please?

3:12 pm

add a vowel to the time unit, then plural that

3:21 pm

Happy Birthday, Une!!

3:22 pm

Happy Birthday, Une!!

3:29 pm

the car is here the car is here! in my possession!

3:34 pm

hi all. need clue for the E fourth column. ty.

3:46 pm

mkg, eo4/4

3:55 pm

Could I have the stats for the bottom row c please

3:58 pm

bottom row c is 4,6

4:00 pm

Thanks. Sometimes I miss the obvious ones

4:10 pm

I am totally stumped on the CE words. I've found only one so far. Sigh

4:13 pm

The first one looks like it should be a hundred dollar bill.

4:13 pm

And it has a plural.

4:14 pm

thanks, WHT

4:15 pm

Don't get burned by the next 3.

4:22 pm

Thanks again, wht. I wasn't thinking that word could be a verb!

4:23 pm

I'm embarrassed that I didn't get the "100 bill" one, since it's a word for a particular geographic feature in an area of the world that I've been to several times. But it's not an English word so I didn't think of it.

4:28 pm

Don't worry joym. Babble Blindness besets all babblers regularly.

4:28 pm

And fireworks for me.

4:30 pm

Congrats!!

4:31 pm

Thanks Une.

4:31 pm

Does anyone need any clues before I go?

4:37 pm

Tx Peri

4:37 pm

Se8?

4:38 pm

congrats wht!

4:38 pm

te7, please?

4:38 pm

granny, ty for clue. got it. sorry not to answer faster.

4:39 pm

Te7 is stress

4:40 pm

se8 looks like it would be the spanish plural of the first se6.

4:43 pm

Don't get it, why

4:43 pm

Wht

4:46 pm

The se8 is the plural of the se7 before it. Which builds off the first se6 by adding a vowel at the end.

4:50 pm

My first se6 is a fisherman :-(

4:51 pm

Just a sec, I see the problem. There is another se6 before that one.

4:52 pm

(There is a clue in there somewhere.)

4:52 pm

Got it !!

4:55 pm

Time to go. Happy Babbling all.

5:18 pm

Happy Birthday Une!

I must have been born on a sunday? Why do you say that?

9:36 pm

the child who is born on the Sabbath Day is bonnie, blythe, good, and gay. it describes you to a T.

9:41 pm

I wish I could say I was born on a Sun,but I was born on a Saturday. I just googled my date of birth. TY grannyrose!

9:43 pm

the first recorded rhyme was in the 1570's. that's a long time ago, huh !

9:45 pm

apparently Thomas Nashe could recall young children being taught the rhyme then. much later it was actually written down. amazing how stuff stays around for hundreds of years.

9:47 pm

now time for my nanna nap. if you're around i'll see you at the flip. xx

9:50 pm

Goodnight grannyrose. I'll see you at the flip I suppose. Hope you like my pathetic rhyme. At this time.
