You deserve it, rose.

need to say good night -- hopefully I'll get a decent sleep.
i have found SLOW-release magnesium which i take at night. still a dew night cramps but they are much weaker, but no hand cramping, and back spasms are minimal.
sweetest of dreams nan. xx
ugh... so excited...*few*
hi, all. HBD, Rose!
oh. i just looked at the time. . .
well, I am declaring this grid difficult
It isn't easy.
grannyrose, magnesium oil works right away and is amazing. I keep it next to my bed.
Happy birthday, Rose!
Hi all.
i just started and this is a weird grid
hi mkg
Any stats for the 7 or 8s welcome. Ty
Er for the 8. So looking hard now.
tr7/28
i found er6
to act in an er6 fashion = 8
Got the er 6 and 8. Just add to the six. Weird word i never heard.
phae which tr is it?
er8 is a continuation of er6
right side T
Yes
it's a pl
tr 7/28 is plural of tr 6/18
Dont have the six either.

got the er8
Ty book.....got it. Great clue
Great mlfan.
Missing the L words. Stats welcome.
You know the world has gone straight to hell when even news reporters can't spell. in a recent news on-line report it was stated that a person was believed to be part of a "dung trafficking ring". No, there is no such thing as dung trafficking, this was DRUG misspelled.
Just found one E word. So all set.
Ty
Molly there are no standards nowadays.
ty for the tr6/7
maybe they were avid gardeners lol
maybe they really were trafficking dung
Yup. Dung trafficers........yup thats right carla.
mkg i have 2 from top e and one from the other one
When did dung go on the black market?
so8/50?
rotos
the drugs could have been some really bad sh**
sorry
ty phae
they rely too much on spell check. no one learns how to spell any more so they're not sure if "damn you auto-correct!" changes that they need to correct. *hand up - I admit I hit send prior to seeing my error occasionally*
You are correct amelu but you would think they would still employ proof readers for news articles to be published on line.
phae working on that word as well
nbs
Yes, Molly, I definitely would want someone to read/edit anything that is going out into the great blue nowhere, lol.
Hi all! Would it be fair to assume that the an8 starts with the prefix meaning 'against'?
py5/16?
py + moved a way at a speed quicker than a walk
ty matty
May I please have a nudge on the AN8 - even a tiny one?
I don't know what it is, matty, but I'm guessing it's against something.
Yeah, that's my guess too but not yet spotting it
that's my missing a too
AHA.

an8 = might describe someone who stubbornly handwrites everything.

tirlit - how archie bunker refers to the WC
Archie Bunker would never make it in this world where everyone is tripping all over themselves to be politically correct. I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at the renaming of Mr. Potato Head. Really?
is that a photo or a painting molly
22 to go - col 4 and 5 greyed! bbl - got a telehealth visit for my kid
Is what a photo or a painting?
LOL, what are they renaming Mr. Potato Head to?
I have one li word. So doubt it is a set.
yes, as mentioned below they are unrelated
though they could be related since neither have a definition on the dictionary link
It is now just "Potato Head". Apparently Mr. Potato Head was not "gender inclusive enough". Seriously? It's a potato.
yes, but there's a ms. potato head too
has no one seen Toy Story??
did y'all know "female" is a derogatory term now? as a female, I don't get it.
I love what Bette Midler said..."what people SHOULD be worried about is how you store a bunch of dismembered body parts in the potato's ass"
I think it's more a money thing, honestly. They had a separate Potato Head for those two genders. I can imagine it's a logistical nightmare. It probably makes more sense for the company to just make one general Potato Head, but it includes the parts to make both of said genders.
If it's just a potato, it hardly matters if it's Mr Potato Head or just Potato Head - kids who play with it now or who get it soon won't know or care that it was once Mr - it's only those of us with a nostalgia that care about how things were - the toy will be the same but what is good is that parents and grandparents won't insist on getting the Mr for their boys and the Mrs/Ms for their girls - it can be whatever their imaginations fancy
it's just that there is no damn reason to gender a potato
I agree Carla. I don't get why female is now a bad word to use. The world has gone batshit crazy.
If you ask me, they should go completely retro and make the Potato Head set what it ORIGINALLY was.
Yes, what Mael said.
so good for them for removing gender from the damn potato. No reason Mrs. Potato ought to have flowers and a purse. Give all potatoes flowers and a purse.
well, there's really no reason to anthropomorphize a potato either, but it's fun. maybe they could include all the parts with one base potato and kids could dress it up however they want.
That is, put the sharp metal thingies in, don't include the plastic potato, and MAKE IT SO YOU NEED A **REAL** POTATO! Now, THAT's the way to do it!
Let the kids get nicked up from time to time. It builds character!
but you know, my daughter is frankly appalled at the lack of superhero merchandise meant for girls and my son wears elsa costumes on the regular so we're doing alright
LOL, have you seen those little 3-D metal models? I bought some for the boys once and the oldest cut his hands like 5 places. mr. homie was like, why did you buy them razor blades?
The Mr. Potato Head thing is as dumb as Pepe Le Pew being retired because he "normalizes rape culture". WHAT?
I mean, he does. You're just used to it.
I will say I always hated Pepe Le Pew because you know that cat didn't want him following her around trying to romance her all the time.
yeah, exactly
rodi
FWIW, the channel here still shows Pepe Le Pew.
peer
My problem with Pepe Le Pew was twofold: 1) the cartoons are boring, and 2) the faux French is atrocious.
Pepe Le Pew was about romance not rape.
It was in no way about romance. Not even a little.
it's not romance if it's unwanted
not even a little
yeah, I never saw him rape her, but he was def. a stalker
Someone who wants to be romantic and chivalrous will take no for an answer
and this just proves the point that it is normalizing sexual harassment
Yes, what Mael says
+1 to mael
Consider that the Black and White MInstrel Show was on TV in the UK until the 80s. The 1980s. Bet none of us here would miss that - but I'll bet when it was pulled some people complained that it was only 'in good fun'
I think he thought he was being romantic but he def didn't know how to take no for an answer
I guess Sally in Peanuts is a rapist/stalker too since she was always following Linus around.
Let em guess: WHITE people complained.
That would be my guess as well (about it being pulled - and to be fair, I don't know who or if people did complain - I'm guessing)
It's very easy for us older people to think that what was normal 'in our day' or acceptable should be acceptable for all time - but as we know (I mean, how many of us didn't roll our eyes or laugh at our parents back in the day), that just may not be tree, and false equivalences aren't helpful. (Sally followed Linus around, she didn't force kisses and embraces upon him)
I just don't understand the defense of Pepe Le Pew. Are you trying to preserve an crappy cartoon or does it make you uncomfortable to recognize that some things you never had to examine are actually problematic?
In Pepe's case, one scene was cut out of one movie.
Did you know that a lot of newspapers pulled Peanuts when Schultz introduced Franklin - an African American boy?
Yep, and I hope that they got what they deserved for doing that. Oh, the humanity, a black kid!
(And yes, I KNOW the quote was "all the humanity" and not "oh, the humanity," but just stick with me!)
That is such a good story how Franklin came about.
I did not know that was the actual quote, I use oh, the humanity all the time.
I'm saying that Mr. Potato Head is a toy (and a potato) and Pepe Le Pew is a cartoon. There is too much over thinking going on.
what do you think shapes our children if not toys and cartoons?
Even better than Franklin, Schulz inspired Morrie Turner to create the comic Wee Pals, which was lots more diverse than Peanuts.
Mr. Potato Head was just a company change, 6 DR. Seuss books being unpublished was decided by the estate and the publisher, Pepe was removed from one movie. It is all much ado about nothing.
Okay, okay, then all our children are gender biased and approving of "rape culture" because they played with Mr. Potato Head and watched Pepe Le Pew.
But what possible harm does it do to call it Potato Head - why kick back so much? As you say, overthinking it - our grandchildren won't know or care that it was once Mr Potato Head
You are not listening...no one complained about those things, it was a choice of the owner or creator.
The only (media) who care are Fox News so they don't have to talk about how the proliferation of heavy weaponry in private hands causes mass shootings
Parents. If toys and cartoons truly did shape children, there'd be a helluva lot more architects in the world, and more trees would be chopped down by little kids! Sure, I saw Pepe Le Pew, those Tex Avery cartoons with the crazy wolf chasing ladies, etc., but I always knew better than to not touch, treat not just women but EVERYBODY decently, etc. I took toys and cartoons for what they were: mindless entertainment.
hah, do you think little girls are born loving pink? or do you think that's a gender bias that is thrust upon them? because removing gender bias from toys (even at the glacial pace it's happening) is a good thing
And as a guy, I gotta say...I love pink.
It goes with everything. Kinda like black.
I'm still upset that when my brother died when I was about 5, my parents gave away his meccanno set, I wanted it.
I never liked pink
YIKES, oh, man, I'm so sorry. :( That beyond sucks to lose a sibling, especially at that age.
I'm quite happy to live in a world with fewer images / reminders of sexual assault, racism, gender stereotypes, etc.
I am a parent of little kids. Clearly not all men learned that sexual harassment is criminal, given what happens every damn day in the world. Working against the normalization of assault is really important.
exactly, bookgrrl
I wrote this about the genderisation (is that a word?) of toys, specifically Lego, a while ago. https://bit.ly/3d9Us1k
sorry to hear that, sukee. and I don't know what meccanno is.
I didn't remember I had a brother for a while because they never talked about it. He had MD.
It's a building toy.
It is like an erector set Carla
ah
But, at least I had Lego and my parents got me a Batmobile :)
Oh wait. Erector is probably not politically correct since it sounds too much like erection.
Thanks for sharing your post matty. Also I just followed you on Twitter. :-)
I love pink, purple, but I also love orange and blue. and I grew up playing lots of Barbies, but I also played a lot with my brothers' matchbox and hot wheels and one of the older boys in my neighborhood would also play barbies with me some. kids are gonna play with what they want.
I am stuck with 81 to go.
I have made it to 23 left but am stuck
if their parents get it for them
Yep, I collected Hot Wheels for a while. Kids ARE going to play with what they want.
Me too Hokie, I had dolls as well.
I have a brother who died when he was six months old, eight years before I was born. To this day my parents (81 and 77) don't like talking about it because it's still painful, all these years later.
and there are plenty of little boys that want dolls they're not getting because they are coded as being for girls
but if we get rid of dolls then no kid can play with them
no one is getting rid of dolls?
And my last thought on the subject, btw: you have guys apologizing for their behavior, with sexual harassment and other just...very wrong things....an apology means NOTHING if you don't act on it. And by acting on it, at the VERY LEAST continue to speak the hell out against it. Don't just say "I was wrong" and forget it. Put your damn money where your mouth is and DO SOMETHING to help.
I currently have about 200 barbies in my basement. Need to start trying to sell them.
So, I am moving in 2 months. I finally got into a subsidized apartment where I wanted to be.
we're just trying to make it so they are not a GIRL toy, just a toy
but the market dropped big time since the 2000s
Who is "we"?
I waited 5 and 1/2 years for affordable housing.
wow, sukee. glad you got in
are you a snowbird (pre-covid)?
200 Barbies? Wow. I thought I was lucky when I got up to 5.
"we" = people who aren't interested in perpetrating racist / gendered stereotypes.
And I know some people who live there and in the building next door. It's a ground-floor apartment so the kitties will have lots to look at.
those who are trying to de-gender toys, molly. Unless you think the agenda is nefarious
I only had about 15 as a kid, started collecting the collectible Barbies in my 20s.
No, never been a snowbird. Can't afford it :)
that was another canadian here then ;_
;)
Damn Carla, I am sorry to hear that. With all those Barbies around you, you must be "gender stereotyped" to the max.
I don't have any huge desire to live in Florida :) I would maybe try Bermuda if I had the money.
Good luck with Bermuda -- they have extremely strict immigration policies. Basically, they won't allow you in unless you have a job there. Other than that, they want all native Bermudans.
And yet I seem to remember that you have your own tool box and are pretty handy with tools, Carla. : D
I know it's useless being you're trying not to get it, but this isn't about stopping boys or girls from playing with any kind of toy. Just, you know, the opposite.
isn't Bermuda the one due east of NC?
yeah, clearly they have no interest in changing their mind or even engaging in good faith conversion. thanks for your voices of reason, mael, matty, and others.
well, like I've said, I have 2 older brothers, so I'm a very girly tomboy.
Yep, about 600 miles off the coast. And apparently Bermudan's hate the "C-word," so don't say it to them!
The "C-word," of course, being "Caribbean" -- because it's nowhere near the Caribbean, yet people say it is all the time!
Why does everything here have to become a battle? People can have a difference of opinion, it's okay.
(And I have NO IDEA why there's an apostrophe in "Bermudans". I think Babble inserted it there.)
which c word? the one Americans hate but the Brits are fine with it? ah, now see your 2nd post.
yeah, so what's the climate like compared to the caribbean? seems like it wouldn't be as warm.
That's okay, I don't use the C word :)
I know I can google all this, but dauber seems to know the answers.
It's not. It's warm in the spring and summer. I don't think it gets VERY cold, but it gets in the 40s.
so, similar to NC
Heh. I don't know everything (I only THINK I know everything!) -- my wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda. :)
Well, I think living there is just a pipe dream.
And like NC, basically kiss your butt goodbye during hurricane season. :)
my boys had a soccer coach from there
well at least in NC you can go inland
name that proper noun! kid doctor
See you all later
doogie
ding ding ding! sukee with the win on her way out

Hi Harry
25 and it's getting painful
I keep seeing nostril. In the grid you understand, not just randomly
I'm procrastinating grading lab reports...
*Fixes Nan a Scotch
litlle early in the am for that, Molly
Details, details
As for you Matty, if you hadn't spent so much time playing "Operation" you would not be seeing random body parts. Thank God the patient in Operation is gender neutral.
still 21 but I haven't been looking :D
D and middle T are my biggest problems with 5 each
18 here. missing 4 on bottom T and 3 on bottom R

20 :)
wow! you foundn a hidden cache?
found my second 8
17 to go
I'm totally stuck. gonna list these last 16.
even with the list I am stuck harry
tricky board for sure
15 to go
ah, 8s complete
some really stupid alt. sp.
any clues for the ne 5 or 6 that follow the requirement?
sorry - eyes not working --- that follow the bullrush
??
There aren't any ne words?
kingship nan
re 5 or 6 that follow the bullrush
duh - had the rhyming one too! ty
3 here
I did not - thank you for both sets!
2
no 6 please?
what am I not seeing in the D's?
it's not nostril
(for no6)
no6 last word
last one for me too, harry
g d or y - that is the question
it's not noogie either
I think the g has to be the 3rd letter
it's one of those "kidly" words
I've tried all spellings of noogie - several times :)
Have an8 and so8......what is third?
no6 - to tease or bug
er8
ty vic
done!
(or person who does it)
have no idea on that no 6
Tx
don't be such a no6, george, said jerry
not a word that I know
one would think it would be spelled nu
nu5
Still not seeing it, but I am tired (was jabbed yesterday and feel under the weather)
still not getting it
going to get mine in an hour, matty!
ok - I have no excuse. gotta grade lab reports. hagd all
You could think of it as an alt spelling of giving someone a little prod
this is so frustrating -- I do not know this word for teasing or the person who teases
nudge nodge nodger --- none of those
so close nan
I have tried nodgee, nodgey, nodgie
give up --- nothing is working
It rhymes with one of Larry, Curly, or Moe.
(At least sorta)
noodge
oops
there you go, nan
ty vicuna -- what a strange word -- have never seen or heard it before
very weird one
Well, I was trying to avoid that level of clueing, hokie. ;)
20 left!
:D
I'm next level ;)
I wonder where the dialect that uses that no 6 comes from?
Yiddish
it's roots are in yiddish, so NY I guess
lol - you are one step ahead of me, but now I know why I"ve never heard it before
It's a perfectly common word for me. Guess I have too many bugs in my life.
found a D!
def. never heard it in Appalachian English
I was called that when I was a child - it is somebody who is pushing and pushing for something in a way that is annoying
where was that, carol?
I even lived in a Jewish neighbourhood in Dollard des Ormeaux, but the people there wouldn't associate with we gentiles, so I never had occasion to learn any of the terms or sayings for things
I feel like depant should be a word
I got told a zillion times when I was a kid "Don't be a NO6," so you think I would have got that without Vicuna's clue! Great clue, BTW.
found another D! 17
on my way -- hagd everyone :)
bye nan
I have always seen the no6 spelled the way it is here. Spelled nu5 it means an action, not a person.
hi all.help with so8 please
I protest: my bro liked to give me a "noogie".. knuckle to the head.. and it is a word, but not acceptable. My whine for the day..
Stort with not daughter and end with the last part of a girls group on campus
yes, I have complained about that :D
ty Molly
Todd and Lisa Loopner would complain too
hi babblers
I didn't even see peri's post and was like what is molly cluing that for? weird how they sneak in between posts.
welki!
Aawwww loved Todd and Lisa!!
special prom noogies!
I loved Gilda Radner
II guess we will have to do away with those Greek groups on campus as they are probably too gender specific as well.
found another word! 15
The world was a better place with Roseann Rosanna Danna in it.
14!
67
Gilda was the BEST!!
346
I hate it when you think you're onto a word but you've already entered it, because it was so long ago you didn't remember entering it.
Oh I thought we were just randomly typing numbers in the chat : D

yep, just 7 to go
that escalated quickly
13 here
well, I think I was already down to 9 when I posted my letters :)
ah, I didn't do the maths, just went by your last report
yeah, found a couple after I came back...then a couple more after you posted, before I responded
I will have to come back later for my last 13. TTFN
found one of my last 4s
have fun
getting my vaccine!
Hurrah Carla! I got my first yesterday - I feel a bit washed out today but nothing awful
yep, we'll see.
nice....I'm on an indeterminate length waiting list
The only people I know to have problems with the shot; the ones who got Moderna
5 to go
4....all 5s
I've talked to people who had the Jannsen and the Pfizer vaccine who also had reactions. It's definitely not just Moderna.
I would react favorably to getting an appointment
LOL moolingwa
nothing wrong with todger
rons
snot
sorry
How many versions of the vaccine are available? I have not heard of the Jansen one.
I had Astra Zenica.
Perhaps they meant Johnson and Johnson?
we have appointments for sunday for our first shots :)
when's your appointment, hokie?
oops, must have missed her
1 to go
fw
Congrats!
I'm back!
Janssen is J&J. I've seen that a couple of times recently. Not sure why unless they are the manufacturer.
I got Moderna because that was the only one I could find. I have heard of people feeling bad after all of them.
One thing I did not know until today is that none of them are "officially" FDA approved. They have been given "emergency authorization" which is different.
i got Moderna....no reaction to the first shot....with the second shot, i was really tired the day after...that's it....but someone I know, who is about my age, had fever, chills, achiness and tiredness for three days... I think that's rare....
no 6/27, pls
sorry....it's one of the 18 i am missing...
I did know that about the emergency use thing. one thing I just read yesterday that makes sense was that the trial sizes were way bigger than normal vaccine trials so it's easier to get more accurate stats.
Uses a double vowel.
we had a big discussion on no6 earlier, yiddish, bichon, for a pest I think.
ty, zooz, carla....don't know yiddish, but the double vowel thing helped...
Always a pleasure to help a fellow babbler!
:oD
np
does the an 8 start with the against word?
yes
ty...
Pfizer. Second dose was a knock out. But look, we are returning to normal- mass shootings every week...
Hard to understand what brings someone to the conclusion that shooting a bunch of innocent people makes any kind of sense
Logic has nothing to do with it.
A psychological intervention could have been made earlier when the mother thought her psychologically ill son was acting strangely and had just but a gun. Diversionary policing.
Bought a gun. My keyboard is fkcued
i am done....heading out....bye all....

I am a Disney fanatic, but I admit I would not have gotten that one! I am less familiar with The Little Mermaid
but little mermaid is one of the best ones!!
If it were related to The Lion King, however, I'm pretty confident I'd master that one :)
I haven't watched Disney movies since I had young children
so8
a few years ago my students did the little mermaid so even if it wasn't already a favorite it would be fresher in my mind
i really wanted sorority to be it but tis nae here
ooooh i was so close!!!!!!!!
thanks molly
Hurshy are yoy still teaching?
no, not right now. when i moved, it took a bit to transfer my certification, so i was working as a sub. and then COVID hit.
idk what i am going to do next. we'll see.
Oh that sucks. I hope you can get back to it soon. Or something else, if that is what you are aiming for,
It's tough to be out of work.
yeah... idk what i want to do. i'm doing freelance transcription work for now.
I did freelance transcription once. I had to stop because it wasn't paying the bills. Interesting work though.
yeah, it only works for the moment because i have no rent
Ooo, no rent. Where do I sign up for that? : D
with your parents ;)
Oh darn, that won't work, they have both passed.
sorry to hear that

I may be able to help, hurshy
and hello!
well, you see, i had bought these nifty frozen soft pretzels and the store. you microwave them for 30 s and boom, deliciousness! and i also have a recipe for soft pretzels, and i was wondering if it would work to make those and freeze them and would i get the same effect? or do they probably have weird preservatives and chemicals in theirs?
*AT the store
so8, please?
does the recipe you have include yeast?
i think it may, trif
so8 is like a college girls' group but change the third letter
okay. I am going to say go ahead and make the pretzels, and freeze after the last rise, but before you bake them.
Making soft pretzels from scratch is very time consuming
but if they are not baked then they will not be ready in 30 s
they won't brown in the microwave, but they should taste okay.
molly, it may be a bit time consuming but the store ones are freaking expensive
alternatively, you can make the dough, rise it, and then bake it, pull them before they bake all the way through, and THEN freeze. Actually, I would probably do that, now that I think of it
that is what i was kind of thinking trif
Thanks got it
the secret to perfection is to wrap the pretzels in a damp paper towel before you microwave them. Heaven!
ok, interesting
Yes but you have to weigh the price of ingredients plus the time it takes to make them against pre-made.And you absolutely have to bake them
i think the price of ingredients is much lower
We ALWAYS get pretzels when I visit Fiona in Philadelphia.
Soft pretzels at the Amish market in my neighborhood are top shelf.
oh, I wish I could eat soft pretzels. :P
Not sure if i mentioned, but the youngest & I stopped by Krispy Kreme with our vaccine cards to get our free doughnuts. Krispy Kreme doughnuts and pizza are the things I miss eating most. He ate 2 in the car before we got home and they smelled amazing.
thanks dauber, lickety, mjhogg, phaeton and all cluers - finito!
