Clues are up
hi Gillie - do you think Kenney will be forced to fall in line and go the vaccination passportroute along with the other provinces?
Not soon, I think
do Albertans have any way of proving they are fully vaccinated?
Probably - it is on our health records, if we got vaccinated here. But last I heard, he was preventing universities, colleges, etc. from requiring proof of vaccination for any purpose.
Yes I head that, but travellers to BC will have to provide proof of vaccination + a gov't issued ID card if they don't have a passport for any indoor activity.
* that includes indoor and outdoor dining, weddings and entertainment venues, among other things
No doubt there will be vaccine passports, but there's a lot of resistance to requiring vaccination for any purpose within Alberta, at least. (And we still have lower vaccination rates than most of Canada - 77.3% of the eligible population have had 1 dose and only 68.8% of the eligible population (58.5% of total) have had both.
And of course, Kenney isn't trying to push it at all, or raise the alarm about what the hospitals could be facing.
Although we do have some vaccine lotteries
I expect there will be protests here too, but our gov't is determined to get this under control. It's the 20-30 year olds that are the problem here.
Here too, I think, but vaccination seems to be especially low in rural areas.
that is interesting nan - here the 18 to 35s have flocked for vax - it seems the 35 - 50s are not keen at all
and I suppose Kenney won't do anything to get the vaccines out to the rural areas
I haven't heard anything about an access problem, though that could well be part of it.
I think they thought they were safe, ursh, because they had youth on their side --- then came Delta but they still haven't got the message
Our numbers are back to where they were last winter which is really a concern for me with hubby so vulnerable right now. I cheered to day when the passport was announced.
i think our youngsters just want to get their life back - must be frustrating to be 20 and not able to go to clubs and party the night away just like we did back in the day :)
they will be able to do that here once they are fully vaccinated
Our numbers are rising pretty steeply at the moment, so something's going to have to be done.
calling it a night - stay safe everyone :)
Good night, nan
What a sneaky little grid.
Time to get ready for work. 20 left. Maybe I will return tonight.

Bets ten bucks that Hursh will repeat that elf name that proper noun
Just dropped my dog off for an MRI. She might need spinal surgery right afterwards. I'm...very edgy right now.
sorry to hear that, dauber - most of us here can emphathize :(
I've got 10 left, hmm
72 left here
dauber, I hope your dog does okay.
Well, she's young and otherwise healthy. They suspect a burst disc. Apparently it's pretty common in beagles.
it could be a bulging disc as well.. and handled with anti inflamatories
my friend's shit-poo had that
Whatever it is, she'll need four weeks of rest. Thankfully in the house she's usually very mellow and likes to sleep a lot...but just have the slightest hint of food or outside and she takes off like a rocket!
omg, top row gray in first pass!
but I accidentally saw a clue for one of those
I'm still missing an F up there!
Only 7 left too.
I know my missing F is a 5 or a 6.
might be the same F I'm missing!
Dauber, I've been through IVDD surgery with 2 dachshunds. Its frightening and requires a lot of patience because they have to be crated for so long. Check out ideas on how to keep the dog calm and quiet online. That is about the most important thing.
Trying not to look at Lickety's clues!
same, I've got 7 to go too
Ahhhh....the missing F is a 5!
Still don't have it though.
do you have the f5 that uses the high point tile?
I was antsy about crating -- we don't even own a crate...but we borrowed one from our neighbor. My wife set it up, and the beagle without even being asked trotted in and lounged!
I do
I only have one f6
AHA!!! GOT IT!!!!
Five left.
Dogs often think of crates as their own private den space
oh man, I got it too. It was a normal word
Our previous beagle actually escaped from her crate shortly after we got her. When we got home we saw that the back of the crate was caved in, but there was no beagle inside. Ruthie was napping on our bed! We took that as a "don't crate me, hooman!" message. :)
yeah, winston broke out of his in the middle of the night the first week we had him.
I guess I still have to figure out which 6 I'm missing. A BB L T V
Ah, a dominant puppy who wants to have all the perks of the hoomans
you guys must not have the crates that I have
Mael - it's not a V.
or an L, got that
thanks
I forgot what brand mine was but I read some reviews after where other people complained about that happening.
are the Vs all vo?
the PetCo and the Precision crates are the best for dogs
but he never got out of it again but once he was house trained we stopped using it. he really hated it.
one va5 mael
most goldens like crates.. that's odd.. they're a nesting breed
yeah
my current dog has claimed my chair in the family room .. he watches the yard from there
winston just has to be wherever I am
yes..that's another golden trait
yep
thanks ruru, got it
ok, 2nd row not going as well as first
this was an easy grid for me.. for once
for once â‰ï¸ you always say they're easy
no.. there've been a few toughies in the last couple weeks
one i almost gave up on .. except i'm still chasing dart
oh duh, my missing 6 was an A
what does that mean?
yeah, this grid isn't bad at all!
One left! A B5 in the fourth row. Any clues? :)
still on 2nd row, sorry
FW!
well done
I have a b 5 18
think of the lending institution :)
something you sit on
A popular one, by any chance? :)
FW! (thanks, mael!)
there's a b5 fish
any one lending institution
yay!
spanish lending
well done, dauber
What does Ru chasing Dart mean?
Is that the question?
yes
good morning everyone :)
Ru is right behind Dart (another player) in the rankings. He hopes to one day surpass Dart.
morning
it's a competition between us hokie.. I'm determined to catch him.. although he's just as determined to stay ahead of me and he's a hell of a lot smarter than me
anyone have stats for the 1st col. a please?
ar4 nan
ty ru
a new word for me
aussies say it all the time
i don't recall seeing that one before either
Oh we've had that one several times
they say the memory is the first thing to go hursh :D
will have to try to glue that one in place in my brain
Another "dumb that it is accepted" word.
somehow i'm not that worried by an inability to remember one particular weird word from babble, lol
ugh.. i gotta get to work.. have fun everyone.
And yet you know the entire script of The Princess Bride by heart
bye ru
she's a big anne hathaway fan :D
words are much easier to remember when they are in sentences :)
I knew you wouldn't leave without mentioning Anne Hathaway
like it's way easier to memorize "American Pie" than "We Didn't Start the Fire" because American Pie has sentences and the other has just lists of things
LOL.. you can count on it
I remember memorizing American Pie. It took a long time.
yeah but once you have it it stays pretty well
with "We DIdn't Start the FIre" unless you practice it regularly it just leaves
Taxi by Harry Chapin is another long one to memorize. Songwriters who are story tellers do that.
V B A 4 5 5 Help please!
911 Help please!
found the b
Add a vowel to your other V word
need a v and a 4th col. a , a 4 and a 5
have the vo 4 and 5 if that is the pair you are talking about
and I have ab 4 and an 6 from that a
va + a nucleic acid present in all living cells.
i think you are mistaken nan, there's an4 and 5 from there, an6, i think ab4 comes from third row
ok there are TWO an4
so yeah ab4 is from third row
phantom: chortle
is there more than one an 4?
yes - two. an4/4 and an4/8
oh - you just said two, duh
ty hursh - thought I'd entered that one
now for that v 5
molly's clue worked for that
the messenger version of the nucleic acid she mentions is being used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines
the biology clue means absolutely nothing to me
It brings little telegrams to your body to not get COVID
A building where farm animals live, change the first letter then add a vowel
found it - ty
*!*~*!* thanks for the help -- it's been a while since a grid was easy enough for me to go listless!

hagd everyone. Need to get cooking -- switching dinner time to the noon hour as hubby doesn't feel well enough to eat much at the end of the day.
Enjoy dinnerunch

Hi all. Wht is the AF 4/7
long way off?
You gotta love Schwarzenegger man. Ah-nold says "wear your mask".
Are you wearing a mask more often, Molly?
Only when I'm in the grocery store. My office building does not require one. We are not required to wear the m outdoors. I am vaccinated so I'm not sure why I should be wearing a mask.
you gotta be kidding me Bzzn. thanks! i got whale slapped on that one.
The Schwartzenegger thing just cracked me up. A fitness company actually pulled their endorsement of one of his products for calling people sc\hmucks for not wearing masks. Like Arnold cares. He is already rich enough to retire twice.
for anyone who persists in ignorance over mask-wearing in public, here is the deal... even though one is vaccinated, one may be a carrier of the virus and transmit it to others. This is more likely with the Delta variant, as it may present as asymptomatic in individuals who are vaccinated, but it is many times more transmissible than other strains of Covid. One has only to be within a few feet of someone in order to contract the Delta variant. So, mask wearing should be mandated. It is quite ridiculous that it is not.
Ditto!!!
masks are mandated in my region.
sean, all of a sudden i cannot click on the windows icon to bring up or search for something. i cannot shut down because i cannot access the menu from that windows icon. nor any files
i need to get to a notepad file ASAP and cannot.
can i shut down with a function key windows 10?
I would shut down using your power button and then restart. You should get your normal screen back.
It is amazing how many COVID experts we have here in Babble land.
not an expert my only advice is dont get it its not fun in anyway
TO, hold the power button to force a shutdown is the only way i've been able to recover on my Win10 device.
one 4 and one 5 both t's left
seian, i did that. but i still cannot access my files
i manages a true shutdown after forcing one. no change. and my open files no longer appear on the bottom task bar
i really need that file tonight

finally got the ta5 and fw

loch
ha! oops
sorry
Loch Fart, the retirement community for gassy elders
In response to our resident pot-stirrer, I am not an expert on Covid, just an informed, educated person. I have personally lost 4 people from my life to the finality of death-by-covid and I have tried to stay abreast of all the current medical information. I regularly speak to my doctors about covid and therefore, I feel confidant I never spread disinformation. Try a little empathy and step out of your bubble missy. Your nastiness is really never appreciated by anyone here. I know there are those who cut you way too much slack, but I for one, am sick and tired of your nonsense.
Well said, gin
taroc
oops! freebie
anywho... HI babblers
Gin: wouldnt your indignation be better directed at the CCP rather this this community
She was responding to Molly
yes I read that
Molly had said that she didn't understand why she should have to wear a mask, since she's vaccinated
I dont think Molly is mocking Covid, but I dont speak for her
and a good point, Gillie
I was told Vaccine = no mask
Well, as gingentle explained, it's still possible to get and transmit COVID when you are vaccinated, and you are less likely to know that you have it. The Delta variant is especially transimissible.
*transmissible
Im off that merry-go-round
Until a greater proportion of the population is vaccinated, and/or the virus has dwindled, caution is still advisible.
blah blah blah
As for the CCP, even though it does seem quite probably that the virus came from the Wuhan lab, it was most likely unintentional (given that some US officials were involved with both the lab and the efforts to divert attention from that possibility). In any case, the virus is out, and we have to deal with it.
smells like an agenda here
I got the shots - not listening or playing anymore
The agenda is to get people to behave in a way that will limit the virus's impact.
I don't know what possible benefit you think the CCP could get from people wearing masks.
Bon soir! Iggy es-tu la?????
Helloooooooo!
What is the CCP?
Chinese Communist Party

Hey FrenchToast, are you still being a statue? Close your eyes while you're at it. Great fun if you're standing on one foot.

time to get back to the laundry and dry my hair, enjoy your Jameson iggy! xoxo
Bye!
well i think it's wonderful the way you two chat.IG and FT. reminds of back in the day when sprite and i chatted all the time.
thx, Rose!
French and I are kindred spirits. lost my wonderful wife a while back
not that she lost anyone that I know of
IG, so sorry for your loss! That's really tough.
thx RP
andrea benua
may her name be for a blessing. and it's a beautiful name too.
i enjoy you and ft. in the earliest days of the game, such goings on were not uncommon. babble love, a sweet thing...
or babble flirting, mostly.
mab, babble friendships are the best. sprite and i have an enduring friendship, love, and respect for each other.
IG, that's tough. when i lost my first husband, i mourned for so long. it took this beautiful man beside me now, to learn to live again. just had our 17th wedding anniversary last month. we have been friends for over 30 years.
hi all. any clues for the E words? or just stats?
hi all. please send me stats for E words. ty.

one last one needed: A in first column. stats please. ty.
ar4/7. abbreviation for after midday
australian slang for afternoon
I have to say, I don't care for being called a troll and a bot, but it was the suggestion that I'm an agent of the Chinese government that really got my goat.
Gillie?? who's slinging stones around at you? lemme at 'em.
Oh, I got into a bit of a dispute about COVID precautions with French Toast and Italian Greyhound. I'm afraid I got a bit snarky.
oh dear.whatever you feel about cv-19, and whatever they feel about cv-19 it doesn't really matter. fears and concerns should be validated without any provisos.
Well, I was being foolish. I don't really know what needs to be done now, but I know that ignoring it won't make it go away.
Anyway, I'm finished with the puzzle now, so I guess I'll go. Thanks for offering to fight for me! :)
i hear you. over here they are pushing vaccination.
sweet dreams Gillie. later perhaps?
the babble double standard goes on and on
