hint for the co8/9?

12:57 am

a

1:02 am

think about a dunce cap crayola

Jess, does that imply it starts with the co4 that is a shape of sorts?

5:52 am

I looked up co8 = compound word = co4/5 + pa4/5. That clue doesn't work for me.

I see how the clue works, but it confused me too (but I get it, now that I found the word :) )

5:54 am

I will stay until you get that word.

Found it Scrab - thanks muchly!

5:55 am

The clue still doesn't make sense to me. New word for me.

Same - but I'm going with co being the shape of the dunce cap and the pa4 being a sort of word for head :)

5:56 am

I passed halfway and must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

As in a bald pa4 :)

5:56 am

Yes, but what does a crayon have to do with the word?

Have a great day scrab

Crayola was the name of the person who asked for the clue :)

5:57 am

Definition of that word = hog-nosed skunk in South America.

5:57 am

I see, matty. No comma confused me.

Grammar counts :)

5:58 am

Absolutely. Bye.

made up for not finishing yesterday, just wasn't feeling it yesterday

12:06 pm

I can't remember if I finished yesterday.

12:07 pm

hi there nan!

12:07 pm

I find that the longer we are in isolation the more difficult it becomes to keep my mind going on full alert.

12:07 pm

Hi saanich - how are things on the island today?

12:08 pm

better than predicted...we were supposed have snow, again. Very quiet.

12:08 pm

we have the odd flake coming donw - about the same as yesterday. About 1/2 inch

12:09 pm

time has somehow warped in isolation.

12:10 pm

hasn't it though -- can't believe a month has gone by since Christmas.

12:10 pm

and a year since our first covid cases and we are so much worse off now than ever

12:10 pm

has it already?!

12:11 pm

got 7" here yesterday and thru the night

12:11 pm

that is why I am staying home, except to go to Butchart gardens

12:11 pm

seven inches ofn SNOW?? yikes

12:12 pm

glad we didn't get that -- hate walking out when it is slippery and that is about the only activity we have left.

12:14 pm

do you have any family around saanich?

12:14 pm

no, unfortunately

12:15 pm

but lots of good friends; we stay in touv=ch by phone or walking

12:15 pm

us neither they are in Vancouver and Alberta

12:16 pm

good luck on the puzzle; taking a break here. Words are coming slowly today.

12:16 pm

that's good. We live in a gated community and at least half of the homes are occupied by widows -- I do worry about how some of them are doing as we never see them out an about.

12:18 pm

hagd -- leaving soon myself

12:19 pm

1:25 pm

Put a consonant at the end of the first one. A very weird word.

1:35 pm

hello all...

1:35 pm

hey pen, happy Tuesday

1:36 pm

1:36 pm

might need to tap your artistic streak peri :)

1:37 pm

merci,mool

1:38 pm

wilkommen

1:38 pm

the other one is an article of clothing.....has suffix that usually means small....like a compound word ...

1:38 pm

wilkomen, bienvenue, welcome... ;o)

1:38 pm

hmmm

1:38 pm

it's not clothing we wear today, i don't think...

1:39 pm

I am stumped

1:39 pm

bienvenido

1:39 pm

yeah, the other one is like a "little piece"

1:39 pm

now i will have that song in my head all day...

1:40 pm

aha got them thanks mool and pen

1:40 pm

Vitejte

1:40 pm

Czech, if you're wondering

1:41 pm

I was

1:41 pm

42 left for me

1:41 pm

Zapraszamy

1:42 pm

now you are showing off mool :-)

101 here. too much other stuff going on.

1:42 pm

hey hoke

sup

1:42 pm

84 here, but not seeing anything even with the list

1:42 pm

hi carla...

1:42 pm

118 here but I got my first covid vaccine earlier today

1:43 pm

84 here, too....

1:43 pm

nau mai

nice, peri

hi, pen, moo, peri, nan

1:43 pm

hey hokie

1:44 pm

wow - peri -- nice. We probably won't get ours until March

1:44 pm

My parents had it a few days ago, Peri. It wiped them out for a day or so.

1:44 pm

i am still waiting to be scheduled for the vaccine...

1:44 pm

found a word...yay

1:44 pm

I am doing well so far

my mom was fine with her first one, didn't even get sore. she hasn't had the 2nd yet. my brother did and it wiped him out for a day.

well done, moo!

1:45 pm

ooh, another one

I think it will be months before I will be able to get one

a vaccine, not a word, though that may take a while too.

1:45 pm

will be momths for me too

1:46 pm

s'ok, more at risk people ahead of me

1:46 pm

Canada will be getting only about 40% of the doses promised until the middle of February. BC is getting nothing for the next week.

1:47 pm

We alway seem to be behind the 8 ball

1:47 pm

are the provincial governments driving it, or is it the national government nan?

trying to figure out what color to paint our kitchen table

1:48 pm

The national government orders it then distributes it to the provinces and territories. Provincial health authorities take over from there.

1:48 pm

purple

1:49 pm

and yellow

1:49 pm

down to 35

1:49 pm

Not my choice that is for sure.

1:50 pm

I think seniors are about 4th on the list of priorities here

1:50 pm

16 of them 7/8 though

1:51 pm

so the national government is setting the priority list?

1:52 pm

numbers are levelling off in BC but still too many new cases per day. The provinces set the priority list. Our region is still experiencing a rise in numbers thanks to ski bums who won't stay home

1:52 pm

I think you should paint the table periwinkle!!

1:54 pm

yeah, we've been relatively lucky in Colorado, haven't had a spike from the holidays yet

1:55 pm

If you are in one of the resort areas, you probably have the same problems we do, mool

1:55 pm

bl

1:56 pm

The resorts here in CO were one of the first hotspots in the US, but they've got some pretty strict guidelines in place now which have made it spread much slower this time...plus we've had less snow this year, so that also deterred people

1:57 pm

our local ski hills are supposedly closed to all but local skiers, but the tourists still come anyway and they are not being turned away, which is very annoying.

1:57 pm

More policing and stiffer fines needed I think

1:58 pm

indeed

2:00 pm

Cannot believe all these years I thought not to drink alcohol was to be cup of tea not the double vowel for the TE8

2:00 pm

ty for the TE8

2:01 pm

I can't understand why anyone would want to ski at a resort where covid is still spreading

2:01 pm

heh

2:02 pm

Well I guess skiing in and of itself is risky, so I guess they're already risk-takers to some degree, especially if they are young

mr homie was skiing in CO last Feb or whenever. I forgot which one he was at but they shut it down his last day.

2:03 pm

I can't understand so many things. Yesterday some one told me about so many relatives that were sick. Obviously non maskers and I just wanted to ask how far do you think they spread the virus?

2:03 pm

if you want to experience crazy, just browse some of those Qanon reports that have been in the news over the past couple of weeks

2:04 pm

leon

my mom called me yesterday asking what q anon was

2:04 pm

oops

not a word, went and tried it :D

2:05 pm

sometime you just type

2:06 pm

Fireworks for me finally. Happy babbling everyone!

2:06 pm

Congrats zoo

2:06 pm

congrats, zooz....

2:06 pm

It could be a word in some ancient language or a weird insect or a small hat. Congrats zoo

2:07 pm

grats zoom

2:07 pm

or spanish for lion :)

2:10 pm

parotte - a brightly coloured bird that strangles it prey

lol

missing one O from the left...

2:15 pm

they are all pretty common words in Babble...

2:25 pm

2 connected to a grain, 2 connected to speech, one with frequency...

2:26 pm

and raw metals....

2:27 pm

3 connected to speech

2:29 pm

stuck at 73....will be back later to list...

On the ipad now. Started an update on my laptop that may take forever.

2:34 pm

first pe 7 please?

Of course the O was the 4 relating to speech

2:37 pm

nm - found it

It’s not pelaton

2:38 pm

no - ends in consumed

2:39 pm

an animal's hide consumed

Oh, it’s spelled peloton

Thanks

2:48 pm

yes, didn't have that one either

2:49 pm

29 to go

Working on 4s right now. Still 12 left

86 total

2:49 pm

only 6 4s left for me...and only 4 5s

Still 6 min left on my laptop update

2:52 pm

2nd sh 7 please?

I only have one, something you might take in a sorm

2:53 pm

um, trying to think how to clue it

2:53 pm

it's actually a longer form of a 6 after it

2:53 pm

sounds hebrew

2:53 pm

don't have the 6 either

2:53 pm

apparently it's jewish village in eastern europe

2:53 pm

that doesn't help me mool

2:53 pm

first three letters are consonants

Hmm, there is a hebrew word I tried making earlier but can’t remember proper spelling

2:54 pm

in fact, the six only has one vowel

2:54 pm

ok - that gave me the 6, ty

Aha, forgot the 3rd cons. Thanks

2:54 pm

two off consonant combinations in the six

2:54 pm

off=idd

2:54 pm

er odd

2:55 pm

the 7 has two vowels

2:55 pm

ty mool

Got it

2:56 pm

yw, glad I could help...tough one to clue

2:56 pm

Can anyone clue the second co8 50?

I felt like it was there today, just didn’t make it work

2:56 pm

yeah

I only have one, sam, not sure which

2:57 pm

me too, and it was the one nan clued before :)

I got this one from the chat so prob the same

2:58 pm

I have the first co8 and the co9 but the second co8 is a sticker, and its for FW.

3:01 pm

It's the same as the previous one, just change the last letter to a consonant. Looks stupid.

3:01 pm

So. Now, almost a year into a global pandemic, Ireland finally decides to exploit it’s island status, and is introducing mandatory quarantine. Too bad for the 3,000 people who have diedto

3:02 pm

To date. I despair of politicians. I really do.

3:02 pm

oh geez, that's a nice easy word to get

3:02 pm

tx champ

3:02 pm

Exactly! YW

3:03 pm

sounds like it comes from mayan or something

3:04 pm

It's an animal...someone looked it up earlier.

3:04 pm

find lots of things to keep you motivated, soodle. We have been in lock down since march and we're getting really really bored with it all. One can only do so much reading, puzzle solving and sewing.

speaking of mayan, did not have the water source

3:08 pm

I’ve been working from home Nan, since last March. I’ve missed my only grandchild’s first birthday. I missed my son’s 30th. My own 60th was a non event & Christmas was a write-off. Damn you Covid.

looking forward to my 2nd non-event birthday during covid in April.

3:09 pm

yep - can empathize

3:10 pm

Sorry. I’m in the horrors this evening. I’m totally fed up. Normal service to resume tomorrow....

3:11 pm

FW! Thanks Champ!

3:11 pm

hello - 113 to go here.

3:11 pm

started planning a big family long weekend together to celebrate hubby's 80th a year in advance --- needless to say it was reduced to sitting on our patio, 6 feet apart with 2 other couples having a drink and snacks on the afternoon of his birthday.

3:11 pm

Hooray Sam. Well done!

3:11 pm

WooHOO for you, SAM!!!! Congrats!

well done, sam

harry!

3:12 pm

grats, sam

3:13 pm

Wishing Mr Nan a very happy 80th.

3:13 pm

last night server went own for 5 minutes

oh yeah, the babble server? usually out for much longer than 5 min

3:14 pm

yes. i entered 5 words and it didnt take. refreshed and server was down

3:14 pm

ty soodle - that was last July when we didn't have more than one or two covid cases around our town -- couldn't do it now.

seems like it's been going down a lot lately

3:15 pm

higher traffic than normal maybe?

3:18 pm

Large boards make the site less stable

3:18 pm

ah i see

I think that's what I've been saying for a while. :D usually have missing words the larger the board.

3:22 pm

3:33 pm

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

82 here.

still didn't find the pa or to7/8s

3:36 pm

mool gave a hint for pa

3:36 pm

there's two pa7/8 combos :)

3:36 pm

and I gave a clue for the other one earlier in the day

well, if I can't use clues when I see them, I definitely won't get them if I didn't. ;D

3:38 pm

well I can clue it again if you would like

3:38 pm

gotta go pickup my kid! 80 for later.

3:38 pm

enjoy HH

it's okay, I'm probably not going to finish this one.

bye HH!

3:39 pm

well let me know if you change your mind...the clues worked...apparently

ok, will do, thanks

3:39 pm

:)

kind of annoyed, I don't know if my laptop is screwed up now after the update or if its this website.

3:43 pm

flush your cache

I may toss my cookies

3:44 pm

chuck it all out

just tried serpentine and it was super sluggish too

3:44 pm

expect some expectorations

3:45 pm

you could see what's running in task manager (assuming it's windows)

mac

3:46 pm

oh, sorry no help then :)

just checked the equivalent, nothing more than usual running

when all else fails, reboot.

3:47 pm

do you have more than one browser

3:47 pm

e.g. chrome and safari

I have both, use chrome

3:49 pm

try in safari and see if it's still slow

3:50 pm

that would at least give you a clue if its the browser or if it's your computer

already going much faster here when I enter words

so either the reboot or the hurling helped

3:50 pm

okay, might also be the update still finishing in the background, or your protection software re-cataloging all the updated files

this computer is almost 9 years old. maybe I can get a new one for my non-birthday in a few months.

3:51 pm

not sure if mac has a file search index function, in which case could be that too

3:51 pm

oh geez, 9 years old...that's like 5 years past expiry

I know!

and I just updated to the latest ios, which is probably a shock to its system

3:55 pm

when that laptop was new, Gangnam Style had just come out

I got it for mother's day when my now grown kids were pre-teens

3:57 pm

yoiks

are the k's mostly regular? I still need 4.

there's a regular one

4:07 pm

so far... I need 2

ok, now just need 1

hi gemini!

4:08 pm

:)

two of mine were a certain way to cook potato chips

4:09 pm

yes

4:23 pm

there's a k6 that's odd

I have a 6 that looks like it belongs in a beatles song

ooh, just finished the N

4:29 pm

yes, a certain notorious album

4:31 pm

found another 8

is it sweet?

4:32 pm

no, but it was predictable ;)

still need 13 p's, guess I will take those pa7/8 clues now that my computer is working again

4:33 pm

the first one, you'll need to bring out your artistic side, and think of a colorful answer

4:33 pm

the second one is like small piece/s

4:34 pm

and the second one might have a rhyming sweetness to it ;)

ok, got a 5/6 and a 7/8 with first clue

4:34 pm

nicely done

all I can think is reese's pieces

got em

4:36 pm

you have the sweet 8 right?

does rhyme with my dessert ta7/8

4:36 pm

yeah, there you go

I didn't think you had that earlier and didn't want it to spoil

4:37 pm

yeah, found the two together

4:37 pm

6:49 pm

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

al 7/8....it's the name of a city in France (I was there about 15 mos ago)...i think it refers to a type of lace...

oh goodness, here's me just starting, and this grid is huge! NBT in 24, so there's THAT

7:46 pm

hi trif. just finishing up here - 27 to go and working on the list

7:46 pm

hello friend! Have you been at it for hours????

7:46 pm

nah - did some earlier this AM, and just came back to list and finish.

7:47 pm

color me impressed!

7:47 pm

chem tests tomorrow, so answering lots of panicked email questions

7:54 pm

oh you will LOVE this one - as I mentioned, my students rotate in and out a week at a time. One of the kids is having to quarantine, following a parent having close contact exposure. Kiddo is taking FULL advantage, and has blown off school. When does he suddenly get the urge to join google meets? Monday. When we had NO students due to a professional day. We all got emails from him complaining that "no one was on the meets"

7:54 pm

funny

7:54 pm

predictable.

7:55 pm

I am so done with this remote and live thing. hybrid kills me

7:55 pm

trying to make it work for the remote kids and then dealing with their difficulties

7:55 pm

and the whiners. oh my god.

7:55 pm

I am super done with the a{ not listening to directions b) not doing any work all semester and then burying me the week before grades are due

7:56 pm

the whiners - OH MY GOD

7:56 pm

word.

7:59 pm

the whiny parents are worse. "I have to work all day, what do you expect ME to do?" Nothing. i expect you to do nothing. YOU go to work, and do your job. It is your child's job to do their schoolwork in a timely fashion, taking accountability for their work. I am just apprising you that your students is NOT doing their work.

8:00 pm

I do feel for the admins though - as much as they may be incompetent, I wouldn't take their job for a million bucks

8:01 pm

me either, but wow, yesterday's PD was ROUGH. the admins are so flipped out about all the kid's failing that they want us to do things like not grade missed work, only record completed assignments, or excuse stuff. How on earth does that give an accurate gauge of how well the student has accessed the curriculum, exactly?

8:02 pm

I've heard of teachers in AP courses being forced to give 10 extra points for participation on final grades

8:03 pm

barf. that helps NO ONE

8:07 pm

It's no better in universities, unfortunately. If we aren't meeting live next fall, I'm going to retire. Which I'd really rather not, but I can't go through another Zoom year.

8:07 pm

done!

8:08 pm

huzzah for harry!!!! good luck with all those exams tomorrow!

8:08 pm

Congrats--this one is an accomplishment to finish!

8:08 pm

my daughter had her first term in college this past fall

8:08 pm

lots of kids getting Ds and Fs

8:08 pm

oh i am sorry to hear that, jan

8:08 pm

not her - but others in her classes

8:09 pm

good night people. enjoy the grid.

8:10 pm

good night, harry

8:10 pm

We've been told not to grade below a B minus. I violated that last fall and gave some Cs. I had to--they would have been Ds or Fs in a normal grading curve.

8:15 pm

that is brutal! Yes, let's set the kids up to believe that laziness is rewarded. smdh

8:16 pm

SH 7 please, not the one where you hide from a rainstorm
