Big success!!
what an amazing experience it must have been
Worth 250 billion and gone into space. Is there anything else the man wants?
there is plenty to dislike him for, but i don't include going to space on that list.
ditto on that governess
eh, if we taxed them properly we'd actually have a functional space program
so billionaires going to space for fun makes me cranky
we should tax them, agree.
but all the same i like seeing progress in space in any way it comes.
Just come in to the middle of this. If you are talking about billionaire Branson, the Tory donor, he claimed he
oh branson was what a week or so ago? this one was bezos.
during lockdown he couldnt afford to pay his employees and got government help
okl sorry. I just thorpoughly dislike the man!!
what a miraculous economic recovery for him! /eye roll

I am not catholic so dont know.
Not getting it.
I did my time as a catholic growing up :)
i am catholic but i dont know the word yet
Cant find it iin google.
it's a weird adjective, granted
Very confused.
i tried morewords
it's a word, just an unusual one. The noun it's based off is not that strange, just specific to catholicism
I have first three i think. We need a clue for the ending please
I tried diograil but no luck.
Diocesos also doesnt take.
last 3 = *** Francisco
well you'd be holy wrong :D
you're close with the last one, it just ends like an adejective, like the city of *** Francisco

That's funny. I just read a very funny article called STOP Telling Me To STAY SAFE!! : D
sounds good
coming from Monty though.. it's just nice.. he's such a good person
I love it when I am the only one in the store wearing a mask.
The psychology of buzz phrases and how/why they catch on is fascinating. Look at LOL, still being used after all these LONG years. Even when no one was ever really laughing out loud.
I think I'm going to start wearing mine again.. numbers are going up in Nor Cal.. although not too bad in Napa yet
10 left!
bzzn bea yes...like i know less than 50% of you is vaccinated.
Are vaccinated people getting sick?
Hasn't CA mandated indoor masks again?
vaccinated people are getting sick, but not dying
vaccinated people can catch the delta, they're just far less likely to die or be hospitalized
Then this will never end. They will just keep coming up with new versions of it.
much like the flu, we get flu shots every year
I have never gotten a flu shot
I can't run the risk of bringing it home because someone didn't want to get the vaccine.
which would be fine if the long term effects of the disease weren't so much worse
I have never gotten the flu eithyer
i get the flu shot because i know it helps others who are unable to get it
i consider it a part of my civic responsibility
stopping in to say hi to my Babble friends; we are in Denmark, enjoying a visit with daughter and family. Travel here was complicated by documentation/covid tests but I'm glad we came.
or for example, my god daughter is vaccinated, but immune compromised. the vaccine won't save her.
people who don't vaccinate hurt innocent people like my god daughter. she should have been protected by herd immunity from the measles, instead she had the measles about a year and a half ago.
SE Missouri and Arkansas hospitals are overflowing with patients with Delta. They are young and dying.
Enjoy your trip, Aloy.
phantom: dragon
ty Bea.. 6 hr. time difference, so nap time here.. zzz.. happy Babbling !
7s: i have li and sa. anyone have either of the others?
aha, there are 2 li7
gr
ok thanks bea!
does it use the J? i'm having trouble seeing how to get around that
No. Salmon stage
plural
whew, monkeyed it at last. salmon stage, eh? which stage is it?
The first year it goes back to spawn.
how old does it have to be to do that?
One to two years
mk, thanks for the info :)
6 to go now
59 left here
is the ci 4 a babblet?
it's italian...
yes
phantom lager
I missed that one yesterday too, thx
ohh ty both
I actually always miss that one
is there a ce, or just Co from that one?
the lower one? ci4 is from upper
I only have 4 co's, need the 5th
the lower one is what i meant, i was being self-referential rather than building on the ci comments, sorrry
I'm learning things about salmon! "Most zombie fish die within days of spawning, but some can last up to a couple of weeks."
"that one" as in "the one that could have a ce"
i need a clue for the co 6 pls?
wait wait zombie fish?
they have to die after they spawn??
ok then that co6 is the word we need
I guess I need co6
apparently salmon start deteriorating and decomposing after they spawn but before they die. Fun times!
co6 is UK spelling of a narcotic
that's awful, why on earth
thanks bea
I had no idea they even died after they spawned
me neither
Interesting. When you look up stages of salmon, that word is not used
now i'm depressed
I think a lot of animals live to procreate and then die
I can't find it either, that's why I was looking at salmon life stages haha
Don't anyone tell Hurshy about black widow spiders and their mates
but i don't understand because earlier someone said "returns to spawn for the first time" which sort of implies there could be a second time
not getting the co6?
it's true.. they die so they don't use up any of the food source for the young ones
morse co4 + two vowels
The definition of the gr7 is...a young Atlantic salmon as it returns from the sea to fresh water for the first time
ty got it
ok so it appears that Pacific salmon die, while Atlantic do not, from spawning
I guess if you have to go it's best after an orgasm
c words are done
we have the gr 7 on the west coast as well, small ocean salmon
atlantic salmon are actually more closely related to trout than they are to pacific salmon
my last A from the left was unexpected
which g is this GR7 from?
oh there you go. Atlantic salmon!
oh but spawning still takes a big toll and MOST do die, and don't get to spawn more than once, just SOME do
hokie the 14 or the 18?
now I know
I'm glad my guests have left. I'm pooped!
it's the middle G, hokie
18, mlfan
thx, mael
I have another guest coming to my house next tuesday.. it's been constant
i am looking for it
i gtg will be back
Well Hurshy, we can't all be Michelle Duggar
i'm not saying i want them to, i just think it sucks that they DIE
thank goodness
Here too. But, unless someone else decides they want to visit.
(duggar)
*Opens the lead balloon window
sucks for who that they die? that's what they know, that's their life cycle. why put human things on it?
Ethnic slur of the day
guess I haven't found it
because i'm human, haha
Guess I will go strip beds and do laundry. Bye.
that's why bears feast at spawning areas.. they eat the fish that are dying... kind of like a sushi restaurant for ursines
and also stuck
well that's good at least ruru, they don't go to waste
well, working on the basement today. must get busy. BBL for last 50
hello everyone
hi nan
hi luv
coming up for air - 78 to go
fatso is a word, but la 5 isn't?
It's just as well Nan. Soon we will be having overweight people complaining that such words should not be in grids.
well, have to admit that I'm carrying about 50 extra poiunds, but then I decided I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable :D
amen....hello all....
stats for the right i please?
sorry, don't have it yet...
hi pen
hi nan...
in 6/24
ty, dose...
found it...
... well done
i rarely see that word on my own....
... I think that you've either got to be a plant breeder or play the grid too often
LOL...
not seeing it
the fact that i found it so fast after seeing the stats means that i am here too often, I guess....
go up in the grid the second part is a real word...
... in + 4 letter word used to describe the repeated shape in a roman viaduct or in a medieval cathedral door
or to describe an eyebrow... ;o)
ty dos
never heard of that in word before
didn't know what that kind of graft was called -- but it does make sense
i had trouble finding it as well
it's been here before, just not that often...
i tooked familiar once i typed it in
down to 53 and haven't found a 7 yet :(
i found one but i don't know what it means....it's li 7/36....a pl....
i dont have a 7 either
it's a class of enzymes....
... only one i've got is sa 7/36
ty pen
ty, dose....keep forgetting to try adding those i's....
found an 8 that way...
li 6-7 as in ancestry?
don't know....i have a seven that is a pl but it's an enzyme...
l
... that's 2 li7
but thanks for that 7... ;o)
by lurking, i've adding 10 words from you all! thx
not the same sp as ancestry - but close
lol...yw...
1st two columns done
not seeing that sa 7
you probably have the sa 6....it's like that only add an i....
most droopy
... gr6/7 .... leads one to think of the cooking surface on a barbeque
nm - there it is
ty, dose...that was my last 7....
ty dos
need one more 7
probably a 7-8 as I am missing an 8 as well
oh that was the salmon conversation earlier..
i need 2 more 7s
i am missing an 8 but have all the 7s...
gr li li sa ... which need to be clued
need another li
i dont have the sa or the li that is a li 6/7 combo
li + neon, argon, etc....it's the pl....
li + plural of airy substances
the other li 6 ends with how old you are....
sa ... as someone else said ... most droopy
i need a clue for the other li
ty dos
i just clued it...
it's a 6/7 pair similar to ancestry
got them ty
the sa7 pls or is it an 8? and something about salmon?
i have the di8 what does the other one begin with again?
the gr 7 is about salmon....6-7...
la 8/45...
dose clued the gr word by saying it's kind of like what you use at a barbecue....
it is sa 7
are both the na 5/12's pl?
i only have one...
and it is a pl...
only have one na 5/12 so far
never mind
there is an na 5/10 though
they are both pl
i greyed the N
oh - yes they are
ðŸ‘
not seeing that di 8 - is it part of a combo?
don't know...
found it
No, it is a descriptive of a part of the Catholic Church
or anglican church
ends in *** francisco
ty, molly....catholic school kicked in with that clue...
That barbecue clue is really a stretch if is for the gr7
led me to the word, even if it took a while lol
they should say first four letters
I didn't know Anglican's had those too. I have learned mu something new today.
the barbecue clue worked for me...
Or my something new
You people must eat hamburgereses and hot dogeses at your barbecues
the way dose worded his clue i knew it wasn't straightforward....
not going to be critical of anyones clues -- mine aren't always that great either
we all have our moments
anyone want to guess my last right col. g?
i bet it is the G i am missing... ;o)
of course, i am missing 9 from the other G...
8 for me
i am down to 48 and it's very slow going...
5 from the other g now
5 earth words

tx hokie
np
That was a "you might have just as well have typed the word in the chat" clue
thank you hokie
hey, I've got bigger problems here. still no new words.
Eh, no worries. The art of clever cluing has all but vanished from this place.
so where do things go when you save them in windows 10? i can saved a photo from email and ?
mac user here, sorry. do you have a downloads folder or anything?
are the sticks and humpbacked letters back yet?
Depends on where you have it set up to save to. The default is probably Pictures
I see sticks and humpbacked letters occasionally. The worst is roundy letter
hello! 50 to go here.
i prefer doughnuts
can I have stats for the lone i please?
Hood is in the hood
mine was going to be a fine clue until I used the word from the first part in the 2nd part
hello harry
in6/24
i'm on board with donuts
that's going to be my epitaph: "i prefer doughnuts"
hey harry! 48 here. have found 2 new words since this morning. no idea where they are hiding.
ty molly. nbt
maybe my entire obituary could be about love of donuts
hi carla. still no 7s here, but found both 8s :)
I have 1 8 and no 7s
hi TO
I know what one starts with and means but don't have
i don't like the new gourmets ones. had one once, grease city
saw some in whole foods sunday, they were all icing and toppings.
no peace love and little donuts then?
found a 7!
noice
What is your favourite kind of doughnut, Governess?
alas, hostess has gflown the coop to mexico. tasykakes has been ruined by its new owner. sadly, no more breakfast of champions.
there has been a LOT of doughnut talk in the last week
i prefer them cream filled myself. if i'm going to be bad, I want to be bad through and through.
oh, I wouldn't even consider hostess and tastykakes real doughnuts
custard or the abomination philadelphia calls creme?
i prefer to look for a local bakery for a good one. sadly, there is not one here.
where are you, governess?
i do not know what philadelphia calls cream, but the stuff that is clearly just crisco and sugar.
west virginia, wild and wonderful
carla" yoo hoo and hostless chocolate donettes. breakfast of champions
ah
i have $15 of gift cards to dunkin that i haven't spent lol
even bakeries do not make custard donuts any more.
I gave my DD gift card to my daughter - she likes their ubersweet beverages
If you ever run across a Cinnaholic, you are in luck. Their cinnamon rolls are so good.
we do have a dunkin
I'm a krispy kreme fan myself, but alas I cannot eat doughnuts (cue Molly)
i remember the bakery did not make them in summer
I think KK still has custard ones (yellow filling) and creme-filled ones (white filling)
I'm "meh" on KK
WOW! Carla must be gluten-free. WHO KNEW????
oh yeah i tried one of those Dunkin Refreshers and it was SO cloying. i'm thining next time i could ask how many "pumps" is normally in it and cut it way down?
I'm meh on DD, and I really don't like any grocery store doughnuts
Me too Harry. I don't get the Krispy Kreme appeal.
it's all about the little hats, molly
not custard
krispy kreme had a good marketing thing going, then they started selling them in stores. just like most brands, they kill the brand to make more money.
I've found people either like one or the other with DD or KK
That is funny, I have a picture of one of my kids in one of those hats.
KK too sweet for me
Men usually prefer DD...oh, are you talking about doughnuts? : D
that's probably why they're so awesome, TO
first column and first row greyed
i had one freom federal donuts and it was hideous, and cost $3
hello help with the in6 pls
still need an E on first row if you want to guess
Give me a Timmies cruller all day long with a nice steeped tea.
still need 2 s on first col if you want to guess
haven't heard of federal.
et4/5
time to go. have fun
The cinnamon rolls at Cinnaholic are five dollars. You gotta spend money to keep your fat pants on.
I do love the KK cruller. never had tim horton's one
no, I have that one, harry
never heard of Cinnaholic
https://www.federaldonuts.com/
it is all par-bake now, but still tasty every now and then.
all the others are regular
federal donuts looks fun
"giardia" was not found in the dictionary
hmm, I have ed4/5
ha! I said that this morning, harry, about giardia
The doughnuts people line up for around here are Duck Doughnuts and The Fractured Prune
? ed4/5?
ed 4 and 5, not an ed4/5
oh. got it
you're missing another et4
we had a Fractured Prune here that was good but it closed down back when I could still eat doughnuts
ah, wow was that hard to see
thx
It is all about make your own with doughnuts now
Which amuses me because I prefer the plain cake ones that you can actually "dunk in" your coffee.
30.
in nyc, we have Dough and the Doughnut Plant both have branches in brooklyn and within walking distance to my apartment ...
37. just not seeing anything.
at a standstill here as well.
made it to 32
55 and stuck
31. found my last N
It is amazing how the conversation picks up when doughnuts are mentioned
i'm a sucker for baked goods: doughnuts, scones, cake, pie, cookie ...
You would love the Amish market near me. You walk in the door and are assaulted by the smell of baking bread and baking pies. A heavenly place.
went to philly july 4 weekend and bought doughnuts from beiler's
they're all gone now ...
If they weren't they would probably be stale or moldy
ah found another 7. 19 to go.
trust me, i ate the half dozen waaaaaay before they went stale
listing my last 19.
Hood nears the finish line. The audience is rapt with excitement.
ogra
done!
and the crowd goes wild.
sorry. wrong box
ogra = giant okra plant
have a fun day!
Fans mob Hood for autographs as he makes his way out of the building.
shirl, you were at reading terminal market?
yep, we were only there 3 days but prolly went to reading every day
i would pass up those donuts in favor of some banana bassetts
i hope you had some ice cream then
it's famous
only one stomach, and i'm lactose deficient
i will indulge every so often. one scoop does not distress me
did you eat a di nic
s
Well if you are lactose deficient then you need ice cream. If you are lactose intolerant you don't
my favorite. and metropolitan bakery millet muffins...
the pork sandwich? i wanted to but we got there late and they were all sold out
YES! SO GOOD!
i've had it before, so goooooood
the turkey is good as well. and the bread pudding at Beck's
i was there every firday until the lockdown
you're making me hungry
i am hungry. but have not yet exercised today. may go to mall to walk and have dinner
i take it you stayed in CC. have you heard of victor cafe? that is where i wanted to go for birthday before all this crap
or for a NY strip at KC prime.
we actually were in old town by the water, got a great deal for that hyatt
walked all over and very patriotically saw the liberty bell on the 4th
it's nice there. the fireworkes were great.
there's a little boutique hotel with a ine bar that had great views.
ere are usually lots of little events too, like the worlds laongest hoagie that is distributed
pardon me, WINE bar and cellar.
did you go to any museums?
it was a nice getaway -- the barnes was great
ah, sore point; the Art museum broke Barnes/ will and moved it into the city. it was in a great quirky building with garden before.
i am glad i got to see it in the original site. did they bring the latches over to the new one?
they said it was all replicated as was, latches, keys and all decorative works
still, he lived in the burbs and stipulated that it remain there. they took his money and his art.
long court battle. but big $ talks
yep, that was the talk we attended
the new building/space is lovely
i have not been back since the lockdown. have a friend in hospital in Logan now and want to go but it's not good. glad your visit was.
did you run up the art museum steps?)
was too hot, i did not
oh yes, it was hot,,, and more humid than normal, which is normally awful
dine at any interesting spots? I like alma de cuba
reading terminal lol, we did go to seafood spot across from our hotel, was nice
are the 8's pls?
No, they are not.
hmm, okay. any g clues from the last column?

hokie you might have heard of them, they were based in Blacksburg for a time

peri, like maybe what gollum would call a thing you use charcoal in
huh
excellent clue, got it immediately
iggy how are the foxes???!

I had to look it up. it's really weird.
so multiple things you use charcoal to cook things but take out one of the double letters and then add a vowel to the end.
foxes are nocturnal now no pics
iggy our deer have moved on, apparently :( We have not seen them in over a week, everyone is heartbroken
they're doing what deer do
ty got the gr6/7 new words for me
Me too
this morning in the chat they were saying it was like a stage of salmon or something
huh
the gr6/7 is a stage in young salmon life
You can usually see the dictionary.com definition by clicking on the question mark next to a word. (Not all of the words are in dictionary.com, however, and sometimes it takes you to a related word.)
I thought IG was saying huh like I'll be darned, not asking huh
both Carla
yay i made it past halfway
im calling it a night
night all, sweet dreams xo
Li6/24? Have the li + petrol + vowel
Never mind!
