*and not a creature was stirring...*
Good morning, welki. How's the move going?
hi bea - almost finished. the last of the stuff is being taken away later this morning, signing paperwork with the realtor, scheduling cleaners/carpet cleaners and then, off to the races!
i can't believe how much junk had accumulated over the years - and how much more i have to throw out once we get settled. was happy to give away lots
i can't believe how much junk had accumulated over the years - and how much more i have to throw out once we get settled. was happy to give away lots
Sounds like you are almost to the finish line.
where are you moving to welks
Yes, I have a lot of junk. I keep trying to eliminate it, but soemtimes get too overwhelmed.
up to the lake, ru, to a very small house - consolidating both homes is difficult
so further north?
yep, about an hour and forty minutes - halfway between calgary and edmonton
roti
shoot - that's two days in a row
i can't believe how much junk had accumulated over the years - and how much more i have to throw out once we get settled. was happy to give away lots
and then this stupid post shows up for a third time!
I'm slowly tossing stuff every weekend nowadays clearing out the garage and my back room
I'm still planning on a similar sized house for me however
i worked on purging the house for months, sold or donated what i could and tossed the rest. the guys at the dump know us now,will have to send their kids christmas presents this year :)
i do agree it's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate. I'm always asking myself : Do you really need this ?
i'm hung up on, of all things, my kitchen knives
you're going to need them aren't you?
when my father in law passed away late last year, i received his knives. we cooked together, so they mean a lot to me. now i have more than i can ever use, but can't choose which to keep
keep them all. They all bring back memories (usually good, I hope) when you use them.
i agree .. no matter how you slice it
you're sharp today
you're right, amelu - they do (and i probably will, but where to keep them all?)
get a magnetic board for the wall and attach them to that in the kitchen
Wall mounted?
Heh. great minds
already done - plus two blocks and some stashed in a drawer
ok then you have a problem then welki :D
looks like hannibal lecter's hobby room, my kitchen
as long as you don't make fava beans for dinner you'll be fine :D
time to get this shit show on the road - first appointment at 10 and it's a long ride back to town. later, all

I should have let her borrow my socks. "Ringmaster of the Shitshow"
Bugsaw gave me a pair of socks that say on the sole Bring me my wine!
I love funky socks and have many pairs.
hello
Those socks with the messages on the bottom perplex me. How do you get to be someone lolling about with your feet up so often that people can read your socks?
Mine are on the tops of the socks.
The ones on the bottom would be pointless for me. A) I rarely wear socks B) I am rarely in the relaxing/feet up position
phantom scenario
wow, grayed the first tile right out of the gate. that never happens.
*not commenting on feet up positions*
I have a bunch of Disney socks and Harry Potter socks (from 2 different Advent calendars) but they have stuff on the sides
and while we're talking about feet being up, I hate beach pics of someones toes sticking up
why do people think that's cute?
toes sticking up?
yeah, they take the pic from a lounge chair and make sure their feet are in the pic
oh you mean a shot of only their toes and the beach or something?
toes are cute
yes, ru
baby toes are cute, I don't need to see a grown person's feet in a beach pic
it's a way to be in the pic without being in the pic
most of those photos are digitized anyways
ehh, feet are cute too
very trendy, but I've never gotten on board with it
and I actually like my feet
trendy is relative anyway :)
I've certainly never been accused of being on trend with anything 😜
me neither and usually by the time I like something that's trending it's going the other way. Like skinny jeans. Which they will have to pry off my cold dead legs.
<---is way past skinny jeans
LOL, I'm still a skinny jeans person myself. I would never be caught dead in a pair of flares or bell bottoms.
tights <-- that's my fav and same comment with the cold dead legs
yeah, I actually wear more tights/leggings than jeans
tights = stretchy pants, love them
<--is way past tights too
hehe
I wouldn't be caught dead in tights
Don't think anyone wants to see you dead or alive in tights Ru
it's not my favorite look on guys, so that's good 😉
amen to that phaeton
😂😂
so what is considered the equivalent of "comfort" pants for guys?
morning all
shorts
moo! it's early
baggy shorts
or maybe I started late
SWEATS
I think joggers, shirlock
yeah
it is :)
shorts in winter?
i wear shorts nearly year round here
boring call
you're just in time moo, would you rather wear tights or joggers?
nicer weather
my kids used to wear shorts year round here
kids could probably wear bathing suits year round.
and they'd wait for the school bus in the winter in shorts. the bus stop was up the street and one time when the youngest was in middle school the bus driver picked him up and then stopped at our house and made him come in and get a coat 🤣
joggers
phantom steak, stogie, hoagie. they just keep coming.
no one wants to see me in tights
good, we already established that with ruru too
I was a school bus driver for 20 years...we tended to treat them like our own kids.
yeah, Ms. Shirley was the best they had. she had a grandson in the same grade as my youngest.
I'd better get to work.. have fun everyone
Ta Ru
what's funny is of course I told him to wear a coat but he wouldn't until she made him get one.
adios, ru
this
oops
good morning everyone
hi nan
hey nan
I always try goeth and it never takes
or does it not taketh?
just read the chat. I think skinny jeans and tights are great for those who have the figure to wear them. but sometimes I wonder if the girls/women I see out on the street ever look in a mirror before they leave the house.
36 to go
37 here
neck and neck
Skinny jeans are people who like to show off that they are skinny. And yes Nan, it is not a good look on some. l
I feel the same about bikinis. I wouldn't be caught dead in one but I see lots of women with way more self-confidence and possibly no mirrors wearing them.
36 now moo, but you're prob at 25
32
and I'd never be caught dead in a bikini either
wow, can't find any of the left E
I had a roommate in college who used to wear low-cut, skin-tight Danskin tops and then get upset when guys made comments about her bustline.
exasperating
o's are giving me trouble
oh dear
et x5
oh my
just have an et 6-7 combo from that corner

you know those wells you drill to get water....similar sounding
still 33 here but I took a laundry break
thanks, moo. 31!
never seen that before
it comes up occasionally
moo, yesterday we had benempt
thouht when you drilled for water it is a well -- don't know any other name for it
that's a new one
type of well nan
the well is kinda like the ar word for fancy bread and such
the definition isn't helping, mool - I don't know it
good morning all!

well there is certainly nothing there that sounds like the well
just found the stupid 4 on the bottom
it ends like the well
only the beginning is different nan
sure there is nan, all syllables except the first sound like it
I have tried etesion a milliion times - it does not work
1.56 WPT
you need to change last vowerl
vowel
you may want to look up the spelling of the well
change the last vowel
i am not getting any type of well begin with those two letters?
it rhymes with the well, not starting the same ML
thank you -- sorry -- my patience is on a very short leash right now
got it
that's because the well starts with different 2 letters and the rest sounds like it
no worries nan

Hello Pen, fellow speaker of words in English
hi Molly...
so you would prefer we spell out which tiles we need words on
you can do what you like.... ;o)
You two are in your own little world. Enjoy it there.
yes, I was yelled at yesterday that people can play the game however they want to, so I include myself in that
18!
1-4-1-0-0
do whatever is fun....no one should yell at you....i have always found you to be pleasant and tolerant...
and helpful...
thanks, pen.
yw...
IOoo Carla, I missed that. You poked the bear for sure. : D
my internet connection has been funky today....so if I disappear you will know why....
and I was just explaining to Une that Nan doesn't want to google
I don't even think nan took offense
anyone want to guess my bottom A?
i don't think she did either....heck i prefer not to google myself....
I definitely use it as a last resort. or next to last (word lookup website being last)
You are not the first, nor will you be the last, to feel the wrath from that direction.
i occasionally use google, but rarely....clues are more fun to work with....
middle eastern ruler hoke?

i'm not steering this ship right apparently
oh, never realised that was the def
I've seen it in movies and TV, like when the captain leaves, they say the next in line "has the c4"
found an s
ooh, also found an S
WPT of 1.0 now
and it's a weird 5, though we've had it before, so maybe you have it
probably not
any help on my 8?
starts with a :)
if you want a more specific clue...
is it a plural of a 7?
yes
ok. is it AN?
no
that's 3 questions...17 remaining ;)
lol, I almost posted this is 20 questions. great minds yada yada yada
I found them now, thanks
us too :)
found my last c...we had it the other day
last week
not the boat?
wouldn't someone who cans food be a cannist?
no, apparently it's a troubadour's love song
0-4-5-3, this does not bode well
because apparently we need a word specifically to describe lovesongs by troubadours
yeah, so many very specific words
superfluous IMO
is superfluous superfluous?
yeah, that appears to be one of my missing C's
probably since you could just say unnecessary
:)
what is my last N???
n6?
I have an NO6
first check your plurals then
otherwise it's a 5...and I'd guess the one that adds to the seaweed
help with et8 or ac8 pls.hi all
ah, the flatbreads
there you go
et8 - sounds kind of like a water well
ac8 rhymes with a trainee monk or cleric
both plurals I should say
hi peri! et8 is a plural - rhymes with a book of the bible
I wonder it the people in the book experienced the et8
probably
kind of the same area...I mean they weren't specific
but I didn't make it to that book
me neither
I started a bible in a year reading plan at the beginning of the shutdown Mar 2020 and made it through about mid-April. the OT is rough reading.
I read the narnia books and Tolkein instead
ty for ac8
did you see the riders in the grid?
no
not getting the bible clue
see them now tho :)
ok, try moo's well clue then
for a moment I was going to say there's no Z, U or L
ah, found my G's - the facial hair

Moby Dick is a rough read
have not tried to read that
if you ever have troubles with insomnia
Moby Dick will cure that
noted
unless you're somewhat fascinated with technical aspects of 17th century whaling
found my O!
I think I read 4 or 5 other books at the same time as I read Moby Dick
ironically, some of them were by Philip K Dick
I guess I won't know until I try it
I know the Kite Runner was one of them too
I think I finished the kite runner in about a week though

well done

ah
not counting the one year of part time university I went to
or the part time community college equivalent that I never finished either
phantom stoic
Have a habit of not finishing school I guess :)
don't be so stoic Stoick
so... you didn't finish high school or part time uni?
I did get HO6 today which I usually miss, so at least there's that
yeah, never finished high school - moved to Australia, TAFE (community college) - got a job - university - didn't feel like I was learning anything, and already had a job
yes, especially if you plan on doing any farm work or going to a rodeo
nice. meanwhile, I got an accounting degree, worked for 5 years, and then haven't done any accounting in 20 years.
what letters you got left?
CC HH SS TT
I think one C is that 5 troubadour song
C's are probably not related
the H's possibly are
for the h...think a certain barbarian's lesser known cousin I guess :)
the s's could be a 5/6 combo
there's a t6 and t7 that are related, but not plurals
are you talking about a horrible barbarian?
well I guess some would consider his acting fairly simplistic :0
and it was earlier in his career
but you always knew he'd be back
oh, I was thinking the comic strip Hagar the Horrible
yeah, not him
the first movie had James Earl Jones in it...the second had Grace Jones :)
def the T's are the 6/7
yes, they're elementary my dear hoke
hmm, thinking Grace Jones was in a Mad Max but don't rem. JEJ
well, stuck with 14 left....though I do have the barbarian, the troubadour songs and all the Ts... ;oP
well, the rest are easy then pen :D
HAH!...heading out....bbl to finish....listing is in my near future... bye all...
me: watson, sherlock, clues, deducing....yeah, nothing
bye, pen!
throwing in the flag here
lol at myself
waving the white flag and throwing in the towel here
carla....do you have the two words that start with the Norse god?
they are not a combo....
got the 7, thanks!
and the 6
my work here is done....bye!
I like how moo always gives me red herrings
i didn't know what he was referring to, so i gave you that clue...
Ss Sunk!
well, apparently I have the troubadour song because my missing C5 was a plural
what's this about a troubadour song?
i thought it was troubador, so now i have also learned about how to spell that word!
a c5 I thought I was missing but apparently i wasn't and just don't know which one it is
maybe i'm missing it for real
it seems dour doesn't it
I think it's the one you clued for me in the last week as a toddler might say it
well i have that but the dictionary says that is a Cape in Nova Scotia, that's all
one of my S's was a latin pl I usually get. 💩
yeah, but I remember moo said we had it recently and that's the only C5 I don't know, so I think it's that
argh, my other S was a pl. should have checked my list before checking lickety's
the troubador song has no def in dictionary.com
had to go to m-w
oh well, that's fireworks
yay
so is it the one we were just talking about or not then?
the t's are related to an element
I think so, sounds like a song to me
a verb plus a preposition
ok a quick web search confirms it
so i am missing some other C word
was in the board last week
co7 maybe
or co4
have co7
have 6 co4
yep then its that one
aha got it
thanks
Cs Conquered!
Ns Nailed!
o
o's obliterated?
there's not like a designated word, you can use whatever you like :D
i do frequently say obliterated for O
o's overcome
not a lot of o descriptors
organized perhaps
overcome is a fine choice too
orchestrated
well off to do something productive or somesuch
yeah, I need to eat lunch and get busy
adios
As Annihilated!
Os Obliterated!
Rs Ripped!

no, there are not
The whole troubadour conversation gave me a headache. It's about tin container for tuna + the note after fa (without the L)
is there an E8 or a G8? i know it's one or the other
ooh it must be E cause now i got my G words
is it cheating to print off the puzzle so I can turn it different ways to see if that helps ? I am stuck at 73 words lol
each babbler creates their own definition of cheating
so it is up to you
Yep, no rules to this game. You make your own.
i certainly would not consider that cheating, if it were me, although of course the letters will not turn so you'll be looking at them sideways or upside down
It would be great to be able to rotate the board.
Although the HELP section does say "find as many words as YOU can find" and almost everyone uses resources outside themselves (YOU) to find words. So cheating is in the eye of they beholder.
Or the beholder

Hi Pen - what passes for heat in Maine?
well my outdoor thermometer was in the sun this afternoon and it said 104....don't think it was as hot as that, but it gives you an idea....
crazy! I went to Summer camp in Maine - never seemed to get warm
my area is usually the coolest in summer and the warmest in winter, compared to other parts of Maine...i think the temp was in the high 80s today....
hotter than Texas!
apparently almost half the time southern Maine gets a high temp like the one reached today...

1. What is a bablet?
2. If I want to give up, is there a place that shows all of the answers, at least on the next day?
3. What is monkeying?
babblet is an obscure word that shows up in babble a lot... usually 4 letters
an4 today is an example
archives link above this chat box will show you prior grids' answers
monkeying is typing in as many combinations as you can try and having your fingers find the answer rather than your brain... it's a common desperate act among us :)
A bablet is a weird, made up word for words that y0u usually only see in these grids. Monkeying is another weird, made up word for typing randomly until you find the word.
2. if you click archives you can pick yesterday's date and then upper right click "view word list"
also, do you know about lickety's babble clues in the friends of babble section below the grid?
monkeying basically comes from a monkey could do it by typing in letters
Thanks so much to all who answered my constant questions. I've been monkeying and didn't know it! Bablets drive me crazy. (crazier) I'm packing to move.....I see someone else on here is, too. It's NOT fun. I thought I had gotten rid of so much after my husband passed. But it seems like I still have a lot! Sold 7 big pieces of furniture. I get on here in the evening to RELAX, but I can't because I stink at this game sooo much. I just can't stick with it long enough to finish. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
Hey, Sophie, sending empathy...we are getting ready to migrate to Lake Chapala, MX...allowed two 70# bags. I am scrambling to estate sale my life...lol
