Buddy

8:20 am

buddy is doing great here.. we're having so much fun together. He's such a perfect dog in many ways

8:22 am

i'd bet that all the dogs you've cared for take one step into your home and just sigh, one long exhaled breath of relief

8:23 am

I think he's doing that now.. but not at first.. he felt abandoned with me I think at first.

8:24 am

he does have a cushy life here .. :D

8:25 am

8:35 am

it's way too easy for me to bond with animals.. i fall in love with them far too easily

8:35 am

tyvm Vioxx

TIL that is the singular and the plural is a 12 letter word

8:36 am

We've fostered Bichons

8:36 am

that's why we've never fostered, ru. i don't know how my daughter gives them up, but she is involved in the adoption process, so she has some control.

8:36 am

more will than either of us I guess

8:37 am

it's so rewarding but impossible for me to do

8:37 am

ty for the 10

phantom spectator

8:37 am

she got word this week that one particularly long foster, one she nursed through difficult physical and behavioral issues, passed away. she always struggles with the losses, but for this one, she just wrote, "this one hurts, mom"

8:38 am

We also fostered a Shih Tzu with a bum leg and starving

8:41 am

she's taking a break for a while, her dog has brain cancer :(

8:46 am

special love and prayers to everyone who fosters or rescues our furry friends <3

8:50 am

i'm with you, car

8:53 am

it's hard to lose the ones you have saved. I did everything I could for my foster.. but her infection got the best of her anyway. I extended her life by 2 & 1/2 years. so I was proud of that she would have died within months without me

8:57 am

time to feed and walk our girl - later, folks

9:07 am

CAR!!!

9:20 am

9:20 am

We've adopted a Spanish rescue dog

9:55 am

I can't find it, help

9:55 am

nm - found it

9:56 am

there are 2 qu7s earlier than that

9:56 am

9:56 am

one is 44 points and the other is 48

9:57 am

there are two qu 7's. Can't find the second one

9:58 am

so there are 3 qu 7's hurshy?

9:58 am

at least 3, yes. i still need 2 q

9:59 am

GM All. The crunchy food is in the grid again today. I sense a theme.

9:59 am

9:59 am

10:05 am

I have 2 qu7s and one 8 and one 9

10:05 am

what i need are 8s the other 9 and the 10

10:06 am

The 10 is the muscles in your thighs

10:06 am

qu 8 is a poem or verse with 4 lines

10:07 am

Two 8's in the qu

10:07 am

got it! ty bea

10:07 am

missing a qu 8 then

10:07 am

The other 9 is or9.60

10:07 am

thanks nan

10:08 am

can't be 3 7s and 2 8s.

10:08 am

I have 2 7s and 1 8 and am only missing one qu

10:08 am

3 7s, one 8, one 9, one 10

10:08 am

ok.

10:08 am

thanks bea!

10:09 am

ok - thought bea said there were 2 qu 8's

10:09 am

Sorry, not two 8's in the qu.

10:09 am

down to 3 A, 3 T, 2 C

10:10 am

so one of those has the other 8

10:10 am

I'm missing the other 8 as well.

10:10 am

can't figure out why if we have a qu 8 there isn't a corresponding oc 7

10:11 am

that would take a really good poet

10:12 am

missing an 8, 9 and 7 x3

10:12 am

apparently that's called an octastich instead

10:12 am

quart

10:12 am

quad

10:12 am

or octave

10:12 am

oh snap!

10:12 am

or9.60, nan.

10:13 am

would you believe i monkeyed the or9 on my first try? crazy

10:14 am

does it have to do with bones?

10:14 am

no

10:14 am

no. French for speakers

10:14 am

or whales?

10:14 am

no

10:15 am

women who give speeches, specifically

10:15 am

think of Keanu Reeves' most famous movie and then think how you would plural that, and then put that on the speaking beginning

10:16 am

bill and ted's excellent adventure!

10:16 am

lol

10:16 am

sorry forgot about that one

10:16 am

got it. ty hursh

10:16 am

how on earth you monkeyed that is beyond me.

10:17 am

yeah idk it just... my monkeys are smart i guess

10:17 am

I'm still back on Hurshy getting that on her first try

10:18 am

bill and ted ? keanu reeves? sorry - I'm out of the loop there

10:18 am

got it though

10:18 am

wonder why there isn't a singular?

10:18 am

Nan, start like speaker, end like a plural of the grain served with Chinese food. I'm sure you'll get it on your first try...not : D

10:19 am

there is, the singular ends with X

10:19 am

The singular ends in x

10:19 am

Because it's not English.

10:20 am

I try tada every time.

10:20 am

me too

10:20 am

clue for da5 please?

10:21 am

never mind

10:22 am

oh, got that word from hurshy's women who give speeches clue. good one.

10:22 am

Everyone wants to be Peri

10:22 am

Do you call an empty wrapping paper roll a tada tube?

10:23 am

the surest way to find a word on your own is to ask for a clue.

10:23 am

well that was my missing D, thanks

10:24 am

No Bea, I call it trash : D

10:24 am

15 to go. so slow...

10:25 am

27 left here but just stepped back in for a minute

10:25 am

Recycleable trash.

10:26 am

What you doing, Carla?

10:26 am

da 5 is my missing d also, but still looking

10:27 am

She's doing the hokey pokey...you put your right foot out, you put your right foot in

10:27 am

just packing up, bea. basically finished with the basement, but we rented a dumpster that just got delivered so will probably be working on taking out trash now. had started on the china cabinet.

10:27 am

how long have you been in the house?

10:28 am

When do you moce?

10:28 am

move

10:28 am

14 years, long enough to accumulate a LOT

10:28 am

9/21 is the close date

10:28 am

Carla is the only person I know who plays a word game on the computer while doing stuff like that

10:28 am

yes. that's alot of accumulated crap.

10:29 am

well, I jumped on to text someone since I'd rather type it out on my macbook than on my phone.

10:29 am

we moved 3 years ago after 28 years in the same house --- still have a couple of boxes of stuff I never use but hate to throw out.

10:29 am

we have a box that has moved with us 4 times already. It says "capuccino machine do not unpack"

10:29 am

They have to hurry Bea. They don't want that kid who just went off to college to be able to find them when he gets back.

10:29 am

lol harry -- mine is a fruit dryer

10:30 am

thats even worse nan

10:30 am

How is Hokie 4 doing?

10:31 am

my mom has been in her house since 1973. her basement is a receptacle for everyone's stuff. thinking about taking a big box back to her so mr. homie doesn't make me get rid of it. it's mine & my brother's old fisher price toys.

10:31 am

at some point I had visions of myself making fruit chips all summer for winter snacks --- never happened :D

10:31 am

sell it

10:31 am

he is doing good I think, bea

10:31 am

I might sell it but I have my whole barbie collection to sell first. ebaying is time consuming.

10:32 am

i meant the fruit dryer and/or cappucino machine

10:32 am

What are you keeping the FIsher Price toys for?

10:32 am

didn't occur to me that people would pay for old fisher price toys lol

10:32 am

IN good shape, they are worth a lot.

10:33 am

breakfast before the last 25 - back in a bit

10:33 am

10 to go!

10:33 am

LOL, I feel confident I can get some $$ for old FP toys

10:33 am

because I have trouble with sentimental items, molly

10:33 am

I'd buy the bee that you pull and its wings whirl

10:33 am

in my parents' basement, there is a melodica. nobody in our family has ever used it for more than a passing few moments when we were kids. but recently when a musician friend was looking for a melodica, my mom wouldn't let me give it to him, on the grounds that - and i quote - "it's mine".

10:33 am

I'm the same way, Carla.

10:34 am

I had to google "melodica"

10:34 am

here was me, all excited that someone might actually get some use out of the thing

10:35 am

anybody found that non-q 8 yet?

10:35 am

I am looking at Fisher Price toys on eBay now and none of them are getting high dollars

10:35 am

my mom went to a 2 room school and has some desks from the school in her basement and she was like, maybe I'll just get throw those away. gasp!

10:36 am

then I guess it's off to my mom's basement with the FP toys!

10:36 am

I donated all my kids' FP toys that were still in good shape to the local kindergarten.

10:36 am

"aircat" - when my pet wakes me up at 5 am and I toss him off the bed.

10:36 am

I had to google search it too Harry

10:36 am

good call nan

10:37 am

harry, doesn't he just come back and do it again?

10:37 am

yes absolutely.

10:38 am

Lots of bees on eBay for Bea

10:38 am

i have to kick rilla out if i want to stop the gentle face poking

10:38 am

he is persistent, you gotta grant him that.

10:38 am

I am giving the boys' less vintage FP toys to mr. homie's sister in FL for her coming grandbaby.

10:38 am

lol - don't know about that - my son gave me a hard time when he took his daughter to kindergarten and found his airplane and garage there.

10:38 am

and then when i come out later she's sitting there on the little bench in the hallway giving me the "do you still love me?" look

10:38 am

that's really funny nan

10:39 am

generally when he gets really pushy it's time to feed him anyway.

10:40 am

I'm going to list my last 10. too much to do this afternoon.

10:40 am

for all interested parties, that other 8 is a C

10:41 am

Is it a compound word?

10:41 am

dunno, i haven't FOUND it, just got the list

10:41 am

I did send a gajillion Lego bricks to Lego Replay, which cleans them and gives them to a kids org

10:42 am

clue for ar6 please?

10:42 am

which C?

10:42 am

I remember one year when my kids were little and we didn't have much money. I went to a yard sale in a rich neighborhood and found all kinds of Fisher Price toys that looked barely played with. It was a God send.

10:42 am

it is a ca8 from the right-hand C, and there is a 7 before it so hopefully they go together

10:43 am

You must get a great tax receipt for donating a gajllion Lego bricks.

10:43 am

hah....found that 7/8....compound....

10:44 am

not one in the dictionary, though...

10:44 am

it's not catca4, sadly

10:44 am

just got them too. funny

10:44 am

a place for cats to eat and get coffee?

10:44 am

oho, just swap two letters!

10:44 am

but hurshy was just talking about it

10:45 am

no, a cat ca4 is a place for humans to eat and get coffee while cats wander about

10:45 am

yep, just found it too

10:45 am

I would never ever go to a place like that

10:46 am

so what's the other 9?

10:46 am

ar6 is ar + St. ***k = vowel

10:46 am

qu9.84

10:47 am

done.

10:47 am

qu9 equations have a squared variable term

10:47 am

Congrats, Harry.

10:47 am

ty. help anybody?

10:47 am

well done, harry

10:48 am

it's a shame I know the big q words but couldn't get them

10:48 am

I guarantee you, Hurshy did not have to look up that definition

10:48 am

on my own

10:48 am

congrats, harry....

10:48 am

i am down to 6....two are fours!

10:48 am

I don't even know what a squared variable term is

10:48 am

there are 2nd and 4th degree polynomials in the grid today. but not 3rd or 5th.

10:48 am

Algebra

10:49 am

Harry, another brainiac

10:49 am

have a fun day all!

10:49 am

We bought a rocket ship yesterday.

10:49 am

bye Harry....

10:50 am

planning a long trip, Bea?

10:50 am

Many long trips

10:50 am

just called the ABC store to see if they still give out boxes and the guy said they haven't been getting deliveries and have to keep the few they have for themselves. is there a liquor shortage too?

10:51 am

Trucker shortage

10:51 am

Dear God I hope not

10:52 am

better stock up, molly!

10:53 am

Companies are requiring truckers to get the vaccine,

Specs delivers

10:54 am

I really don't understand the conflicting news reports. On the one hand, you hear about all these people who are out of work. Then, you hear about a truck driver shortage and how the housing market is booming. Where is all the money for new houses coming from if so many people are out of work? And if so many people are out of work, why aren't people lining up to apply for their CDC and drive trucks?

10:56 am

funny, mr. homie just said there's shortages of everything but the media isn't talking about it

there are some strange shortages - My business uses a lot of aluminum - our suppliers have moved to 6 month lead times!

thats up from 12 weeks normally

10:58 am

there's a shingles shortage too

10:58 am

took my car to the shop today and the lots are maybe half full

10:58 am

The factories that make all these products are short staffed.

10:59 am

The Audi lot was full yesterday.

Dealers here have very few cars on the lots

10:59 am

i am done....heading out....bye all....

11:08 am

yeah, they just said the part my car needs to stop this squeaking noise is on backorder and they have no idea when they'll get any, but luckily it's not a safety issue.

11:15 am

Oh no, are you that woman that goes into a car repair shop and says "My car is making a noise like this "eeeeeeiiiiawwwwww"

11:17 am

I saw a whole videotape of people making noises for auto repair guys. It was hilarious. This one guy says "it's going like this: ugga, ugga, ugga, uggga"

11:18 am

Wonder why you can't a have a singular tr7

11:20 am

I did not make the noise, just described it and what conditions triggered it

11:39 am

hi again

11:41 am

The heat index here is 102 and I just saw three men outside wearing long-sleeved shirts. WTF

11:42 am

phantom trifecta

11:46 am

I am sleepy this morning. I've been staring at the P wondering why I couldn't find anything.

11:46 am

bea, what kind of rocket ship did you purchase?

11:46 am

i have an electric teakettle that i didn't use for a long time, and then when i tried to use it, my tea tasted weird. i thought maybe the second batch would be fine because it would have gone away, but no such luck. any suggestions for how to fix this problem?

11:47 am

did you look inside? is it rusted or is there some kind of gunk on the electrical elements?

11:47 am

maybe the element is corroded, or has mineral deposits on it

11:47 am

descale it

11:48 am

this may help https://tinyurl.com/mfh5buv4

11:48 am

Good morning. Dear Nef is in the grid today. Too bad she doesn't play any more.

11:50 am

hi ori

11:50 am

Hi welki.

11:51 am

bea said she bought a rocket ship, and that the audi lot was full yesterday - maybe she bought an R8 :)

11:55 am

it doesn't look weird, so, i'll try knight's link advice

11:57 am

I use that method for my coffee pot - vinegar works wonders. After cleaning with vinegar - rinse well, put a tablespoon of baking soda and fill with boiling water- let set till water cools and rinse well. The baking soda removes odors and brightens the steel.

11:59 am

That's how I do my coffee pot, as well.

12:01 pm

mine's mostly glass, not steel

12:01 pm

but i'm sure it'll work for either

12:01 pm

the baking soda will not hurt it

12:04 pm

ti 6/24 please?

12:06 pm

if the pot is glass and the glass is clean maybe it is the water that is making the tea taste funny. A lot of chlorine in the water will do that.

12:06 pm

ti 6...like the small mints that come in a plastic container....

12:06 pm

Breath mint

12:06 pm

ty pen and une

12:07 pm

yw....closing the window now...bye....

12:07 pm

*!*~*!* - thanks for the help. Have a lot of little errands to run this am, so will be on my way :)

12:18 pm

no it's not the water, because my other (identical) kettle that has been in daily use is fine. just, the lid now doesn't like to open so i have to use a knife to pry it open, so i thought i'd get out the other one.

12:41 pm

I'd go w/the vinegar/baking soda fix to start with...

12:43 pm

***Thinks tea tastes weird all the time

12:53 pm

***Thinks tea tastes weird only when I drink it

I don't like tea

1:08 pm

My kettle has a water filter built into it. my tea taste lovely!

1:09 pm

I like coffee too but much prefer tea!

1:12 pm

I also like to dunk my biscuits into my tea. Would not like to dunk a biscuit into coffee though.

1:13 pm

And yes I am just a common person as you can tell haha!

1:22 pm

Had a cheese & tomato sandwich with english mustard. Yum yum!

1:37 pm

Clue for ca7 please?

1:37 pm

Compound word. meow.

1:38 pm

plural too.

when you say biscuit though, you mean cookie, right?

and what is english mustard?

1:40 pm

Tx zoom!

1:40 pm

Chocolate cookies, Rich tea biscuits. Vustard creams etc.

1:41 pm

Custard*

vustard sounds a little disgusting 🤣

1:42 pm

Best to google english mustard but a type of condiment like dijon mustard.

1:43 pm

Talking Heads- Naked. Lovely tune!

not a huge mustard fan though I will now use it in recipes that call for small amounts

1:44 pm

ai am struggling a bit with this grid today.

1:45 pm

I am not either to be fair. Although I do like dijon mustard on a sausage.

do you buy powdered?

1:45 pm

No ready made in jars.

also am a wimp with spicy, so sounds like english mustard is definitely out

1:46 pm

only put mustard on a ham sandwich - small amount

I will put mustard and coke on a ham in a crock pot

1:46 pm

Ah the trick is just to use a little to enhance the flavour.

1:46 pm

stts for top A pls

1:47 pm

AS 5/12

I do like this pepperhouse gourmaise by boar's head that has mustard in it

1:47 pm

AS 6/24

also not liking this grid, zooz

23 left and 8 of them are 7's

1:48 pm

thnx - got them both

1:50 pm

I am not one of these who like to be silly and try and make food as hot [spicy] as possible. a bit pointless. all it does it numb your tongue and ruin the taste of the food. Also you will probably on the toilet for a while after haha!

my friend has a very high tolerance for spicy, the spicier the better. I learned early not to trust her if I say "is this hot?" because spicy for me and for her are vastly different.

1:54 pm

Oh Haha! I was going to do a question of what little mint sweet (candy) is in the grid. When in fact it is an actual word.

1:54 pm

Yes I am kind of the same. I can not tolerate anything too spicy.

what does the candy start with?

Ti

1:56 pm

Also part of a game. O X

1:56 pm

Those are mints, not candy

hmm, missing a T there but I don't know. aha, the game. don't you all call it knots and crosses or something?

1st col gray!

you can get non mint flavors that are more candy

1:57 pm

In fact, Molly, you can get strawberry flavour, Cherry flavour etc.

1:57 pm

oops did not see your post, Carla.

I just thought you were reinforcing it 😜

1:58 pm

I always get the straight-up mint kind

1:58 pm

I think they started as mints and branched out

1:59 pm

They did indeed.

now there is a UFO incident with that name

2:01 pm

Nope, I was wrong. The original line in 1969 had fruit flavors. They started out named "Refreshing Mints"

2:02 pm

Did not know it was that early!

2:02 pm

Zoom was just a wee lad then : D

2:03 pm

I was just five years old.

my oldest brother was 5 years old as well!

and my other bro is the same age as said mint candies

2:04 pm

End of the world storms here. Same shit, different day.

and yes, they are older than me

just hot here (again)

2:05 pm

That has been our weather all summer. Hot all day with afternoon thunderstorms.

2:06 pm

I always say that to my dad when I go round. He lawys says How are you today. I say I am alright..it is everyone else and then I also say it is the same hit just a different ay. to which he agrees haha!

2:07 pm

We have not had much of a Summer this year here. Then again what is new!

2:07 pm

Sorry for typos. Stupid chatpad I am using for this xbox.

hot all day with afternoon/evening thunderstorms is our usual every summer but haven't had any in a few days

2:08 pm

You have jinxed it now!

2:09 pm

How are your parents doing Zoom?

no chance of storms until next Wed

2:10 pm

Mother is bed bound now dad is surprisingly still about the same. Thanks for asking, Molly!

that stinks, I know it's hard on your dad too.

although I just realized I don't know what "the same" is

2:14 pm

Same means he can get about in a wheelchair or electric scooter as long as I go with him. He has advanced prostate cancer also has catheter. gall stones, partial heart failure, severe asthma etc

2:14 pm

He is also a miserable sod although I do not blame him.

well that stinks

2:16 pm

The way it is i'm afraid. We get by though.

2:19 pm

Anyone heard from Gapeach? Just wondering if she is doing okay.

2:19 pm

FW. Need clues, anyone?

2:20 pm

Congrats, Joy!

I don't think anyone has, zooz. someone else was asking the other day.

2:20 pm

Not for me thank you though.

2:21 pm

I will look through the rankings after I have finished to see if ahe is still playing.

2:21 pm

ty zooz

2:23 pm

Hey everyone. Zooz, I can completely empathize with you. Caring for elderly parents is a really tough gig. Your Mam & Dad can be proud they raised such a nice kid. (Though, at this stage, ‘kid’ may be pushing it a bit! 🤣

2:24 pm

Hello, Soodlebum! Not to my mother. we are still her kids haha!

2:25 pm

How is little Paul doing? A bundle of energy I bet!

2:26 pm

Lol!! My firstborn, the oft-referred-to Son of Soodle turned 31 the other day. How the heck can a young one like me have a 31 yr old?

2:27 pm

Little Paul (thanks for remembering his name) is preparing to become a big brother next month. Huge excitement!!!

2:27 pm

Wow! Congrats!

2:29 pm

Fireworks for me. Time for me to go. Nice to see you all. Happy babbling everyone!

2:30 pm

‘Old age begins, and middle age ends, the day your descendants outnumber your friends’. I must start making more friends….. 😅

2:30 pm

Bye Zooz. Take care.

bye zooz. 21 left here

well done

2:38 pm

Of course it is Friday, and we are all ready to bust out the door and start the weekend. But we can't do that until the monsoon stops. Ho hum.

you don't want it bad enough

!@$!# how do I get the leg muscle with a clue and still have to get the arm muscle from the list

3:31 pm

Fw!!!

Hi

3:50 pm

Oh I wanted it bad enough. I am just not crazy enough to drive in pouring rain, flooded roads and thunder and lightning. It has passed, the weekend has begun, let the good times roll.

So happy to see the 'resident pot-stirrer's' post @ 8.18am was totally ignored by the Babble Community. The current crisis in Kabul is down to the US, fair and square. To try to mitigate the situation is ludicrous.

not sure what you're talking about - 8:18 posts are pen, ru, & I saying hi to welki

oh, I see below that

4:04 pm

I'm wondering if you read the comment correctly OliveP..it is about how they are getting people out.. they got out 81,000 people + so far I think I"ve read

hmmm... another anonymous poaster... and joined today....

4:05 pm

good catch TO.. likely another troll

no, not a troll.

4:06 pm

well.. likely a second identity for another player i'd guess

4:06 pm

So it is now "stirring the pot" to commend US forces for helping the Afghan people. Damn, you haters are so bitter.

and bye, my rosemary citrus shrimp await...

4:07 pm

yeah, after twenty years of time and money and people wasted there, i think the US is doing alright there.

4:07 pm

be well, TO

thank god for Sprouts!

4:08 pm

nobody wins in Afghanistan.. it's a losing proposition.

4:08 pm

ar

4:08 pm

A Sprouts recently opened near me. I should check them out.

4:09 pm

agreed, ruru

today, i mentioned i was trying plumcot for the foist time, and they comped it. they'll do that at ours. you can get herbs and spices in whatever quantity you desire, so they are always fresh. the apple guy will cut up samples or give you one of each new varierty

wow, what in the world is TO talking about? 🤣

foist. like curly ;/\

4:12 pm

oh, nice, TO

ah, for the NY/NJ hearing impaired....:D

we already need our own siri

4:16 pm

what we need is for Dr. G to start collecting money here again to create a new identity..

carla, they gave me the plumcot free. the apple guy gives out the new varieties, like the ones that never turn brown when cut, and the red flesh, to try

4:19 pm

He knows who the "multiple personalities" are by their IP addresses. He just won't do anything about people signing on with multiple names just to post crap.

look at it this way: are you going to be offended by a bunch of electrons?

a blip on a screen?

4:21 pm

Oh I'm not offended TO. I find it all on the pathetic side actually.

troll mode will suffice in this case

i don't give a rat's ass what foreigners think of the US.

people i don;t even know.

4:33 pm

*Thumbs up TO*

4:35 pm

help with ca7and ca8 pls. hi all

4:38 pm

Ru has to dodge that c word

4:39 pm

wtg peri

is a plumcot a plum/apricot?

4:49 pm

yes..

4:49 pm

they're tasty too

4:49 pm

i've seen apriplum too

4:52 pm

I love plums in general.. I think it's my favorite fruit

plumcot was delicious. no hint of apricot, just a sweet juicy red plum

i 've heard them called pluots as well

shrimp was good, nut not as good as mango shrimp at musikfest

that was cooked to order. we do fest food right.

ru did yours have a powdery coating? it's supposedly from a gas used to preserve them?

5:15 pm

yes.. it did have a powdery coat.. i just washed it off

just googled it. something natural called bloom?

maybe the texture was a bit different? what did you think?

5:31 pm
