Clue for ap8 please....
ap8 ends in the opposite of day, use half the laughing fence to get there.
almost the 'top' animal, then doesn't end in day
Hey Haz!
Hello!
Happy day here, I'm getting to the hairdressers. Only 5 months overdue..
How are you doing?
I saw some-one wishes you Happy Birthday the other day - hope it was a good one!
Tx...now have all 3 9's!!
Yes, we worked round the restrictions and I managed to see my sister and my daughter and son-in-law, but on separate occasions. Looking forward to being able to have people in the house again, it's awfully chilly outside!
So-so. Kind of better than I was a year ago and about to start a new regime - this Friday actually - so we'll see.
Oh, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you.
You've all had the jabs over there?
We get our second one on 22nd May, the younger generation just starting to get their first one. Thankfully infection rates are coming down very well.
My younger girl in London has had both her jabs, so that is good.
I so remember not being able to have people over - awful
It's been going on for so long, our district had high infection rates and we were put in lockdown in advance of others, but never took us out again. We were allowed to have 1 day of people in at Christmas so effectively nobody has been in since last September, bar Christmas Day.
Family fully jabbed here!! :-)
That's great news, Une, it gives such a sense of relief.
Yes!!
My goodness - that is a very very long time - I thought our lockdown of months was bad
3 months that is
I'm looking forward to being able to visit my older girl, They bought a house in October and I've only ever been able to make a fleeting visit, masked, no sitting down etc. It will be nice to sit and chat.
I feel for you !
And yet, in the whole scheme of things we have been very fortunate, food on the table, we have all kept well, read more books than normal. I shouldn't complain - and then I look in the mirror!
I have a friend who is experiencing symptoms of long covid. She had what she thought was a mild dose of covid but she has been plagued with all sorts of maladies since. It will just take time for the effects to wear off.
lol - lot of women my age strangely went grey over lockdown - and aren't bothering to go back now even though hairdressers are all back
Yes, that grey business is strange. It must be stress, it can't be age.
she didn't get tested or was it so rampant everyone got it?
GM, I just had to jump in and say I turned gray during Covid!
no - just women who have had their hair dyed for years.
I am 64 and I was blonde.
She tested positive (caught it from her husband), isolated etc for the requisite amount of time but has had problems since.
My hair has gone grey as well at the roots but it's going to have a wee helping hand to disappear this afternoon.
They are reporting the same here - a large percentage (30%?)
30% experiencing long term symptoms? That's a lot.
let me try and confirm that
My son-in-law thinks he had it in the very early days before testing was widely available. He lost his taste and smell for a long time, it has come back but he smells things differently. Tests since have proved inconclusive on whether he actually had it but he can't think what else it would be. If my daughter had it she was entirely asymptomatic.
40% still experiencing symptoms 2 months after having CCOVID. Remembering that we have relative few COVID cases so not sure how that skews the %s
That's interesting, not sure what the figures are like here.
It does seem like it was a pretty small group followed but even so. Let's hope the symptoms do clear and don't effect people later on life/permanently
I hope so too.
I must go and get some stuff done before bed...lovely to see you Haz - Bye
I hope the weather warms up here soon. I'm so tired of winter clothes but am not prepared to freeze in summer stuff.

had the most lovely thing happen yesterday -- had gone to the store to pick up just a few groceries, had a nice chat with the cashier, then when I was leaving she tucked a bunch a tulips into my carry bag and said these are for you - our manager told them to give them out to all of our cheerful female customers. So now I have a lovely 1/2 doz tulips in a vase on my kitchen table :)
100 to go...
* manager told us to give them out (my brain does get ahead of my fingers at times)
nice gesture for sure nan
that's nice, nan
It is nice to be nice. Yup.

I am chatty in general. Makes me feel good
there's a lady that works at the front at Trader Joe's who yells over to the door when you enter "hello, young lady!'" I always love that.

I'm proctoring the AP calc exam.

the biggest issue for the kids was breaking the seal on the exam - they couldn't figure it out :)
did someone say there is an in 10? clue please?
my son is at school taking the AP calc exam
half the room is BC and half is AB
might be more applicable to the US nan ;)
the in10
think within
found - ty mool
harry he was scrambling around Sun night for batteries for his calculator and then yesterday I asked how the test was and he said he could've not gone to class and still gotten the same thing and mentioned something about politics. I'm thinking why are there politics in calculus?
then found out calculus is today and yesterday was government :D
was yesterday APUSH?
need one more from that i
oh govt.
I also need 1 i there, nan
he has one more tomorrow. AP lit maybe?
could be. my son is taking us hist on thu and chem on fri
oh yeah - I'm proctoring english tomorrow
I too need one more i
yeah, I think he took APUSH last year
darnit, moo, you're supposed to know the last i!
is he going to college in sept?
yep
and there is no itsy bitsy spider
NC State for engineering

or August, actually
thanks. we will be empty nesters!
dog will be getting lots of attention
dog is practically sitting in my lap right now
quick - move to a 1 bedroom apartment!
we've been house hunting for a while nan but can't figure out where we want to move to.
and everything sells instantly in this market
same here - people moving away from Vancouver
we had two houses go up for sale on our street (we only have 12 houses) and they sold in the first day
yeah, we already get a lot from NY, I think even more now
our street is listing at ridiculous prices so they're not selling so fast
we get californians mostly
yeah, I know people that got 14 offers the first day and stuff like that
I am missing something. With unemployment at a record high, how are people being able to afford to buy houses?
are you just over the border mool?
and said houses are like 200%+ more than what they were last purchased for
no, I'm in a separate timezone :)
I meant just over the CA/CO border
no, there's a few states in between :)
have you been to great sand dunes, moo? that was one of our favorite stops in our cross country trip
oh - thought you were in Colorado
I have seen them from distance, but have not been to them
yes, we have Utah and Nevada between us and California
I guess you could kind of say Arizona too...but it's just the corner of the state that touches Colorado
yes - I thought all 3 states met at one corner, but I guess that is Nevada
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado meet at the four corners
no one's found that i yet?
canadian geography is much more straightforward
i think the superlative of ra4 as in complain should be a word, cause that's me!
I've been there...well the nominal 4 corners, the actual 4 corners is supposed to be on private property
wearing a canada shirt today
shirlock, classic enable list omission
yes - was getting colorado mixed up with nevada
ah, well I'm glad I live in Colorado rather than Nevada....personal preference of course :)
don't we all feel that way about where we live?
I think I could live in Lake Tahoe
I dunno, I've lived so many places...they all have pluses and minuses
happy to be living in CO
NV, of course, not CA
would be nice to be closer to the sea tho
Yeah, Tahoe is pretty nice
we moved back to where we started, so that tells you something :)
does anyone have 2nd col T finished? I need 1.
I'm a fair way from my starting point...tho I think my wife would be interested in living in NZ
we've already established it's not tinfart
still have 2 of those T's left
actually, only one T
still need 3 of them
have limped to 44 left
47 left now
wow - just got down to 100
my call isn't particularly engaging
anyone finished the L? need one there
still need 1 there too
nm, was the drink
actually no...finished it
my last one was a plural 3
metallica drummer?
yeah
there are only two L words longer than 4
the coffee drink?
still need 3 - no idea on the drummer
yes, the coffee drink
norwegian man's name maybe?
yes, that name
How come it's in there?
Danish man too ;)
still looking for 2 more l's
it must have some other definition
who know MO -- no rhyme nor reason the enable dictionary
the ? says male name (norwegian)
and Swedish too I feel lft out!
and it just so happens the metallica drummer is danish, motherowl :D
the ? is from a different dictionary
enable word list has no definitions....seeing as they are not required for word games for the most part
so babble uses a separate dictionary to provide definitions
merriam webster says it's a roman god
they are not the same word lists tho
Ah i am wiser now ;) THanks
I thought MotherOwls were already wise :)
hello everyone
well now she's even wiser!
hey there mmim
hi, muse
Hey mymuse!
Hehe one can always become wiser.

do not have the sa6
I can clue if desired
Still missing one pa 8/45
please, mool
well the first thing, it looks like a made up French verb
which ones do you have, une?
not good for us with no french
otherwise...think spanish saint + most of a certain american car component
It means someone that speaks in French ;) At least I think so.
Maybe 'speaking' would be better
and the sa6 is literally a persian dulcimer, according to the dictionary
a specific american car?
found a different S!
The pa8 is latin american for loudspeaker. I became curious.
not a specific american car, but specifically american, in canada it's spelt differently
ah, we've had that sa6 many times, I always have trouble
he's talking about the round rubber thing, nan
I often talk about round rubber things
LOL
down to 20
7 of them are 4s...so some hope there
29 here
5 4's
I have absolutely no idea - there is only one s and it begins with that
spanish saint + most of an american car part
CA city * Francisco + the part of the car that rolls on the ground
ooh, a word
ty -- carla -- was really struggling there
did you ever finish 2nd col T, moo?
np, nan
*!*~*!* think we just had a roll of thunder -- or else someone is dumping gravel nearby
with the covid lock down everyone in the neighbourhood is doing yard improvements
still one T there
Pa's that I have : the floor and the invasive bug
tx, didn't have the bug
man, my brain is so fried
between those two comes the one that ends with a poker bet
there's one between une
then you miss the biased fighter and a souht american word for loudspeaker
Also have one who adheres to a specific group
ah, didn't have that one either...tx
that's the 8s done
Missing the loudspeaker....
and the last pa 8 is the one who supports a cause
and I thought it was a celebratory saint
Have that one, Nan
6x4, 4x5, 6x6 and 1x7
Poker bet?
unless you're "against" betting :)
you can up it
5x4, 11x5, 10x6, 3x7
I can find the AS5 for some reason
yes -- in poker you up the ****
you can, joy? :D
well don't make a ruckus about it because then you'd create as5 joy :)
Thanks!
Doh!
ooh, another word
still 29 here

Wow I just typed in something and Voila the pl8! Thanks Carla.

oh yeah, that's the one after the 7 MO
drop last letter for a pl 7 MO
3 7's left
yes, motherowl, that's pretty much how I stumbled onto the PL8
it's a plural of an aquarium fish
hagd everyone - stay safe
nan, it's hard to guess which ones I miss, because often they're easy
But sing. is not a word?
ty nan
prob ends in -y
the pl7 singular does :)
not that the singular is in the board
ooh, another word
knocking off these 4s
I got distracted

there are 2 wi5, hurshy
or there is the 7
aha, i need the 7
there's a w5 that is not a plural
yeah i need the 7 tho
yep
ok got it
perhaps if we more cheesy with our clues, it would go with that one
aaargh don't talk about food please
you'd be amused by the word I just found then
perhaps you'd do it if we talked about more food :)
i'm not going to be amused by anything at the moment
found an F
7 to go...4 of them S's...5 of the words are 6 letters
still have an f to go
was so excited I found a weird A but I forgot I found it this morning
:(
i'm struggling with i

or more generally with i
i got a babblet 4/5 combo and a 7/8 combo
6 and a 10
is6 maybe.
there's a 10
ooh now i got a 9
oh yes, the 9 also :)
is6? yuck, what can that be
did you get the IN7/8 combo?
thanks got the 10
remembered the is6 from past grids now, thanks
we have it occasionally (is6) but I always have to have a clue
or a can of beans ;)
i was helping a girl with her math after school today
you might need to retire that oe
I may...will need to contrive something more complicated
it was so weird, she was doing great and doing great and doing great and then all of a sudden her brain just stopped and she couldn't do what she'd been doing a few moments earlier.
that happens to me here
I found a comfortable chair so Is6 it
much better
will file that away
lol, just found one who creates paintings and such
our dog is quite fartal

Finally finished! I hope you all have a wonderful evening! Toodle pips!
Oh Mool that clue. Thanks for laughter and a word.
ciao

wow. 3x4, 9x5, 4x6, 2x7

farlot - when you drive to the airport...and it's the only place that has spaces

F and H...a 6 and a 7
my last H was a 4

3 left that aren't jumping out - 2x5, 1x6. 2 S and 1 R.

good night! that's still a job well done!
Thanks adn Good night

really baffled by this ra5

finally monkeyed the last 2 S's. oh, an oceanic tunicate, how'd I miss that
I mentioned it early indeed
woops
still 2 to go
yours are regular words, though I don't ever use them in in convo. both a little out of fashion.
wi 7/44, pls
do you have ti7 that means smallest?
ty carla
ah
yw
what are you ah-ing, moo?
found one?
no
reacting to your clue
my clue that wasn't really a clue but will somehow give away your words? ;)
well you said they were regular, so I'll stop looking for esoteric words
old fashioned words anyway :)
let me know if you want any 2nd letters
you also mentioned, I think the H, was the kind of word you typically miss
no, that's the F
ah
just losing a bunch in serpentine right now. should probably leave that room alone.
heh
I might pop over...
well, I'm in medium :D
and now you're not :)
losing in med, may as well lose in hard
it's a lose-lose situation

oh geez that word
ty lynxxx
oh, didn't get to use my clue...
don't let that hold you back...
first column greyed
teh s words suck
Haha, you snooze you lose, moo
the
The...yes indeed...the
ty carla and moo for the NI7 clue...I had to leave for a while to work. My damn job is interfering with my babbling
Oh those damn jobs. Sadly, there are a lot of people out there who wish they had them.
I like my job, but I like playing Babble more. I'd quit my job and just Babble, but I like eating so I can't.
It's crazy IMO that there are people who want jobs and can't find them.
as a hiring manager with an open position, I'm seeing a lot of people job hunting from existing jobs (at least in tech) here as the pandemic restrictions start to ease
most of the tech people I know seem to move from job to job pretty frequently
yes it's not the red flag it used to be. I still like to see at least a year at each job, or I am going to ask why that one wasn't a good fit. If it's a pattern, that's a flight risk red flag
3 years or so seems common
I work for the gov't, belong to a union, have a pension, so the incentive to stay is considerable.
indeed. our customers are colleges and universities, so I'm familiar with that :-)
there's good and bad things about both those methods.
For me, it's good that I have job security, but it's bad that it's so hard to get rid of lousy employees.
my favorite combo to see in a resume is someone who has spent a chunk of their career moving up or switching roles in the same company.
why is that your favorite combo?
Belonging to a union, having a guaranteed pension, and being able to play games while at work is like a fantasy life for some.
it usually (not always) means that the person has both talent and ambition, and figured out a way to demonstrate her value to the company
It's great, Molly, no question, but the time I spend during the day playing Babble does mean I have to find other time to finish my work. But I work on environmental issues/energy/climate change and occasionally I feel like I'm making a difference.
that makes sense, Dan.
2nd ta6/18 please
clue for the ap combo please
the 2nd TA6 uses the "believer" suffix
NM GOT THEM
ty and done
congrats peri
ty
FW ty all for the help. Hasta manana!

Eh, I've really struggled with it. That word put me at nbs, nbt, and exactly half, and I'm soooo done. Have a great night!
you too!

Hello to my babble friends! How is everyone doing today?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!Way to go
