To all Babblers from Canada, I would like to thank Canada for sending help for our fires in California! We had two of your super scooper planes working our Caldor fire today.
wow! Lotsa big combos here
But very satisfying when your get them, IG!
HI, Soodle - Yes I am enjoying very much
I will no doubt at some point have an aha moment - but I don't have it yet
Have what, Matty?
You will, Matty. Keep plugging away. Can clue a couple of the nice ones, if you want...
The aha moment with the big combos ;) I have one 9 (an re word) and 3 sevens and that's it for the biggies
Work around the sp 5/12 (weapon)
Just now found another nine! And it is a combo, so that's nice :)
And now the 8 with the weapon - I must be feeding off your vibes :)
There's also a 9
Think Wriggleys
Yep, got that one before you clued it. Go me :)
Yay!
So many of the same letters...hard to tell what word comes from where.
It's a TEA festival today
Are you getting any rain, Molly?
TEAR fest.
No rain yet, but it's on the way
How much are you expecting? I'm not sure we will get much here.
Water already standing in yard here and 3-4" more on its way :-(
yikes, une.
I figured you would get hit, Une.
cloudy here. we are supposed to get 1-2" tomorrow.
Carla, you all are going to get it too.
Our coastline is going to get hit harder than we inland folks. Two days of hurricane effect rain though.
Yep....Mudworld!
looks like my family is getting it right now
CanNOT imagine the thousands of folks with no power, dealing with weeks of no AC......omg.....
Me either Une. Weeks of no air conditioning at this time of year is awful.
I know. I just saw they said 90% should have it back in 7-10 days but the rest might be WEEKS.
no AC and no refrigeration
That is the time for ice cubes down the front of your shirt
if you can find ice cubes
If you can get ice cubes.
snap
Right....
pinch poke owe me a coke
Never heard that one! :-)
Me either.
well, it's more of an in person one so you can actually pinch and punch their arm
Hee hee :-)
lol, it's on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinx_(ga\nme)
i can't imagine weeks of no power again.. we had that here.
I've lived through one week of no power and can't even imagine longer than that.
sure made cleaning out the fridge easy though
We always did "Jinx" for that
yep
yeah, you say jinx, then you say the rest. I just forgot jinx.
We never did the pinch poke part
We did do Punch Buggy for the VW's on the road though
And Padiddle for the one headlight cars
Oh wow.....forgot about padiddle!!
never heard of that. we yelled popeye and then you kiss your hand and hit the ceiling of the car
and we did punch bug - don't punch back!
And what was the deal with picking up your feet when you drove over railroad tracks so you wouldn't get pregnant? Who came up with that one?
its always worked for me as an effective method of birth control.
'morning, babblers
hi all. was at the laundromat early this am. back now. fun times :)
hi peri
Oh that Peri. Such a wild one. : D
and I get to sort out clothes and put them away later. and try to fold fitted sheets too. at least I took the clothes out of the bags they were in
I am having such an exciting day :-)
I am feeding my neighbors cat again too but he is a nice cat
some people here live so much more fascinating lives than I do
Same here. My life seems dull by comparison.
BE careful what you wish for.
yeah, I didn't actually want to live in interesting times
nbt
i used to enjoy going to the laundromat when i was young - usually nice and quiet, a good place to read and when other people were around, there was almost a social aspect to the place. and i remember it smelled nice
got one of the 9s
i hated going to the laundrymat.. it creeped me out totally when I was younger
nbs
guess it depends on when you went, with whom you went and who else was there when you were - for me, even in the dicey neighborhoods i lived in, they seemed safe
heh - and you could buy a tiny box of detergent for a few cents if you forgot yours
I've never minded the laundromat when I was younger
now with kids and PILES of laundry it would be a huge pain
Phantom: aperture
welk that is an interesting pic
I was just thinking that, matty
thanks, mlf. it's a close up of a dragonfly's wing (not my photo)
I am not wishing for anything. Just looking on the other side of the fence.
even behind it its really intereating looks like half of a face
Locust wings have the same, stained glass window look
this grid just got frustrating
in7/28......cleplease
yeah, i see it, too! i learned that seeing faces in random things (if you do it a lot) is called pareidolia
clue please
plural of the 6
sorry... follows trick
never heard of a name for it before welk. the face just stands out i didnt actually "see" the moth at first
ty bzz
thanks bea
I only have one i - the obvious one :)
that was all i had too
but the in7/28 comes before the in6?
Yes, I reclued.
i only have the 7
ty Bzzn
There are two in7's
Ah hah - found one of them
I still have no 8s, hmm
I have one - a dude who wields a long, skinny, sharp pointed weapon
ohh, thanks
i have ra8 it is a compound word
I was trying to go the other way
Mlfan a clue for the ra 8 please. Ty.
It is an easy word, has to do with weather garb
Clothing for when the weather is wet
Time for a break
Ty
Got it
<---- Right behind you, Molly.
good morning everyone :)
good morning nan!
hi nan, saanich
good f-ing morning Saanich :D
good morning all!

hi Welki!!
nota

same to you ru!!
hi welki, and all. fun game today.
hi welki - just coming up for air
sorry mkg i had to go and am just getting back to grid.(also looked up some info)
and hi Sannich, ru
having to re enter words i know i already typed in
Yes, that is happening every day to many people
a clue for the ur6 and ur7 please?
think of mineral or rock ending for the 7
thank you
and the 6 is a short version
:) yw
Can anyone guide me on the re8/40, please?
get something again
or, achieve a goal again
Aaah - it's all clear now. Thanks. I didn't have the get something word...but I do now!
ty aslindy!
you're welcome :)
Tx aslindy!
found a 9 :)
Found a peanut
lol, when my cousin was a kid he thought the song was found a penis
Oh that would have been a great song to sing wandering back to your college dorm the next morning
hi Hokie!
hello dolly!
:)
not seeing that re 8/40
to get something again Nan
wow, I have 1 7 and nothing bigger
saw that clue - not finding the root
the biggies are normal words
She was on a quest to ______ enlightenment. Make that word an again word
found it finally :)
even had the 6 -- just had to look for the right one
LOL, I'm slow. I'm like acquire, obtain... will keep looking. nothing to see here
oh, I was close 😜
have the re 9 -- stats for the others please?
re 9/66, re 9/78, and sp 9/66
got the sp9, duh
I think you mean "yum"
have an sp 8 -- is the 9 also a compound?
yes
Yes
Yes
And a holy choir of yeses descended upon Nan
ok - have mothe re's now
3 part harmony
Like The Three Stooges singing Hello Hello Hello
and the sp by gum
rain!!!! it's raining!!!! hallelujah
nice
wonderful nan!! We had a rainfall -- haha -- I got 39 drops on my windshield
a fire broke out on the weekend that is close to one of the larger towns in the interior -- hope this keeps up and does some good
hope the rain puts a slow-down on the fires there nan
me too saanich
anta
never knew I could be so thrilled to see rain :)
sorry
me neither Nan, it finally rained thru the night
Interesting flooding facts from the local weather dude. 6" of fast-moving water can knock over an adult. 12 inches of fast-moving water can float a car. 24 inches for an SUV or pickup.
wow. interesting & informative, ta Molly
Not to mention that driving through standing water will pretty much kill your car's engine
It will ruin your transmission too
back later with fresh eyes
cybernan - I put a chuckle in my profile
was just reading it KT -- clever
"Never use a large word when a diminutive one will suffice"
think I will take time to post a new one -- think everyone in search of a laugh has seen the aussie one
HILARIOUS Knight! Thank you so much for that!
great idea Nan
Do not OVERUSE CAPITALIZATION. There should be signs here that read that. Good one Knight.
I AGREE!!!!!!
Your list should include "The exclamation point is the selfie of grammar"
how do you feel about the interrobang?
wellâ‰ï¸
Um...one of the dumbest thing I"ve ever seen. For those os you who don't know, the interrobang is a combination question mark, exclamation point.
*of you
Not going to be added to a keyboard near you any time soon
it serves a purpose
well why would it need to be added, you just put one of each
yeah, whyâ‰ï¸
Although I must say, I feel the question mark should precede the exclamation mark. ?!
I think I kind of agree on that
how do we contact the emoji maker
well i'm finding this grid a bit challenging so far
I have 84 left and feel rather stuck. still need 14 7's, 4 8s, and 2 9's
I do want to make terminate and any related word. and inmate. where's the e?
ditto
and termite
that first T, in the corner, is my early trouble spot
yeah, I still need 6 there
found one - bea's fish
found a 9!
Found a peanut
Do you have all three nines, hurshy?
nope, just the one i just found, re9
I'm nissing one 8.
i haven't got any of those
Found that pesky 8...
My opinion of Connie Britton just went down a notch. I just found out she was in a movie called SMILF. No, I am not kidding.
Rosie O'Donnell too.
Sorry, it was a TV series. Kind of a down slide from Nashville.
hello all...
Hey, pen.
hi Bea...
show biz isn't known for its overabundance of excellent roles for older women
Clues before I go?
are both re 8 words "again" words?...
only one re8
and it is not an again word
ah, ok....thought there were two....thanks!
there is an re9
yes, have that....
er, i think i just found an re8 that is an again word
which is an again word.
yes, hursh....i have one re 8 "again"word....
Opps! yes there is another re8
is it an "again" word?
yes.
thanks....all i need....
I'm going to go before I further confuse
bye...see you later...
well i guess i need the one that ISN'T an again word
apparently there are two re 8 "again" words....
then why did bea say there was one that was not
she first didn't notice that there were to re 8 "again" words....then corrected herself....
no
there must be three that are not....
she said "only one, not an again word" then when we said we had one that WAS again, she corrected it to two re8. but the one that she had originally been thinking of presumably still stands.
her "other" one was the one we had already, you see
that's not my understanding....
but i am letting that go for now...
not sure what its about but I got the nine
nice....i have the nine, too....
I am looking at the list and I only see one re8
then i am confused, lol....
Just started this grid and the As are giving me a lot of trouble.
There are 5 8 letter words: pe, ra, re, sp and te
ty molly...
There are two re9, one is an again word and one is not. That could be where the confusion started
ooh i found sp9!
molly, do you happen to know if the re9 that is not again is from the upper R or the lower?
ah yes, you are probably right, Molly....
And! she's! so! excited! about! it!
lower...
It is from the R in the fourth row. There are three R's
ah yes, forgot the corner one...
ah yeah, but the corner one can't have re words :)
got it
I just found the RE9!
so many excited people!... ;o)
Yes but you have to spell things out here, otherwise you will get "There are two lower R's. Hmmmmm"
So much excitement, so few exclamation points
The 9s are RE, SP, and ???
two re9
ty
is te8 four-something?
four?
the te5 that means you have 4 of something
maybe it could have an ending to make a te8
No it is not four
is it a weird word or normal?
Weird
well then if you (or anyone) would care to clue it, i would welcome said clue
a wide-brimmed felt hat, typically with a double crown, worn chiefly by travelers in subtropical region
Ends in what comes from a light bulb (the amount of power)
No idea what Cheryl is cluing
thanks molly!
ty, molly....
cheryl is cluing a te5, apparently, i guess because i mentioned te5 in my talking about potential te8
don't know....this is a power word...
its what google says the word means unless there are two?
Oh, she is cluing a te5
Hurshy was asking for the te8
so yes, there are two, cherlyq
yep sorry
ok same question for pe8: weird or normal?
I think it's weird
Weird
That is because I have never heard of it until today
then i would welcome a clue for that also :)
Ditto!
hurshy the TE8 is unit of measurement
Fruit + most of New England state
thanks une!
ty joy
I think she already got the te8
I haven't found the RE that is the again word...which R is it from?
ty, une....
haha it says it's a kind of apple, which is funny
Yw!!
that re8 is from the fourth row, joy
And Une
hmmm....and the RE9 is from which R?
also 4th row
both re9 are 4th row
got the re 8
definitely some odd words here
so did we determine there was only the one re 8
Molly listed them a few minutes ago...
only have 86 so far dont want to list yet lol
finally found my last 8....need a break....bbl to finish my last 49....bye all....
could someone give me a not too revealing clue for the RE9 again word (I've got the non-again RE9)?
re 9: who you call to fix something
it is not an again word
There are two RE9 words. I have "fix something" one already.
getting back something you lost?
She _______ a state of enlightenment. Make it an again word
I think that's the RE8, Molly.
oh yeah we both did that lol
Yeah, it is. To put something down with pen again
Past tense
found it, thanks
I think today's chat has been the most confusing ever. And it's not even cocktail hour yet. Whee!
need both the te and the pe 8's and not finding either from the clues given
I don't have either re9 but I do have re8
the fruit = 4 of a new england state has me stumped -- I guess it isn't the first 4 of the state
yes it is
oh duh - found the pe
yes it is nan
the states just don't come automatically to me
I think it is the state pen lives in
nm
Geez Nan, that one is even close to Canada. : D
yes - my clue was more likely to have been fruit + "principle" item
got an re9 thanks Molly
@cybernan…I am in the state you are looking for…think lobster, or farthest NorthEast state
the only US state to border exactly one other state, too
New Hampshire. The rest of Maine borders Canada
Are we having serious chat lag, or are people just not reading along?
found an re9 by myself!
looking for the te8 someone said it was a wide brimmed hat
te5 is the hat
oh ok
te8 is an erg measurement
not seeing either will keep looking
te 5/10. te 8/60 Sorry, I know you didn't ask.
found te8 ty
See what I mean about chat being confusing? Someone refresh my memory, why do some people put a @ in front of someone's username?
probably because that's how twitter is, or on facebook if you want to tag someone you type that
I have no clue what that means, but thanks Hursh. Not sure why someone would use Twitter mechanics on this forum.
it means directed toward so the person who asked knows that it's meant for them.
hi again - had to leave for FaceTime with son 1
still need the te 8 measurment that's 4 of something
measurement of energy
sp 8/60
ty amelu
8's and 9's done
yvw
thanks for the help everyone
wow! can you believe it? a language enable doen
a language enable doesn't know about - esperanto
Could I have the stats for the top row o please?
ot 5/10
@ nan, sorry about the 'sp' but the numbers were right. my ADD has evidently kicked in.
Thanks
Wasn't sure if you were asking for the sp or not, amelu
well, that's what I was looking for, nan, when I gave you the stats for the te, thus the faux pas. I'm trying out word combinations for it because I think someone mentioned it was compound...
Another clue for the te8?
Is there only one te8?
not a megabite but a te4bite + unit of energy
The te8 I have is a large unit of electricity
yes -- energy output of a lightbulb
Tx for the lightbulb clue
stuck with 49 to go -- back to list after lunch
There is that @nan again. Are we Twitter people now?
not me - not on any social media
I don't use anything social aside from FB. Oh, excuse me. Facebook for those who don't appear to understand shortcuts.
or choose pretend not to.
after going through a month long rigamarole I finally got rid of Facebook -- not about to bring it back -- too susceptible to viruses. As for the rest, I have no desire to see, hear or read the rantings of deranged people
I've only kept it for keeping up with some old friends who no longer live near me and watch their kids grow up. I also have a number of them who have passed on and I can access their accounts through mine for pictures and such. My page is private and friend only access. Drama queens are deleted without notice.
But I agree, nan, that it is too susceptible to many things.
pe 6/36 please?
a wig, nan
ty diane
anyone have a clue for the an7?
ends like the t word in BLT
te 7/44 please?
something English people use in the late afternoon
ty joy
did you find the an 7?
no, but I found a AN6 that fits your clue
yes there is also a 7 that uses more of the letters from the salad ingredient
looks like it might be an italian film maker's word for cartoons
Doh! I didn't realize it was a 7,32 and I was looking only at the 1 point tiles. Thanks!
*!*~*!* any clues wanted before I leave?
any of the K words
KR6,33
plural of kr 5: homophone for scary person
nm...I just found it.
weird spelling
also ke 4-5: retain(s)
I have those, thanks. Just found the KU too.
ku 5: vonnegut + vowel
lol...I like that clue
the other two are 4's that you will have to monkey - no way to clue
ke 4/8 and ke 4/9
did the hurricane miss you amelu?
How about the IN6/7, maybe a combo?
yes in + what you surround gifts with
that's a word???
guess so
but then I thought esperanto would be accepted, but no dice
I think esperanto is probably a proper noun
I saw part of a movie in esperanto once. I had William Shatner in it.
maybe -- can't be used as an adjective like english or french
It had, I mean. I didn't actually have William Shatner, ever, I promise.
lol
he was such a terrible actor -- and he sure isn't any better in the commercials he's doing now
on my way - hagd everyone :)
He's awful, although the old Star Trek series was kind of cheesy, so he kind of fit in.
By nan, good to talk to you!
remember that cover of mr. tambourine man he did?
I think he did a whole album of covers. absolutely awful
I don't know what is worse. Shatner's cover 0f Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds or Madonna's cover of American Pie. Both will make your ears bleed.
I heard that album once. I hope to never hear it again.
I decided today to make "ooh ooh child" the theme song of the year for my classes.
they're all looking so downtrodden.
Im gonna jam some Shat on my 8-track - gonna get some looks
in my Ford Pinto
I was just looking for something in an old box and found my 8-track copy of "Blues for Allah" by the grateful dead.
wow - I missed that one, Harry. gotta google it
aah - Mr. Sadat in the grid!
yep
60. 75% done. I don't think I'm gonna make it much further without a list today.
hello all....going to list for my last 49....losing patience with the grid...
Hey pen.....36 to go here
h une....
you know you have been playing this game too long when you can type a missed word from the list without looking at the grid... ;o)
Oh Harry, "Ooo, Ooo Child"? Really?
harry, are you still around? i thought of you yesterday while reading a book - it had the term, "amicable numbers" in it. friendly numbers! i looked up the term, the description makes sense, but i can't figure out specific calculations - probably trying too hard to understand
well i went through the list and i am still missing four...
want a nudge, pen?
no thanks....i am down to one...
I'd love a clue for any of the AR words, which I just can't see today, other than the 4s
*drum roll*
joy...they are all real words....4s, 5s, and two pl....
just found the stadium ones...one word left!
the first pl is a latin pl....
one's a latin plural, the others are where athletic events may be held
<-- always a day late and a dollar short
got it, thanks
FW, finally.
need the t a 6s please
congrats....
Loved all the compounds in this grid. I nicely spaced G would have made it one of my best
--->This is Harry's fault...♫♪someday, someday, we'll put it together and we'll get it undone♪♫
can someone tell me if the first te 7 starts with a number?....
Pinky out, Pen
sorry, i have no idea what you mean....does the word start with a number??....
nm...found it...i am done...
pen can you clue me in on that te 7
Well done Pen (Didn't get pinky out either)
not coffee + be**** of the danger there....
ty, molly....
TY VERY MUCH
yw...
Oh...you could have done that without ****'s
too tired to do anything else....my two hours of tennis today has taken its toll....
proper etiquette when using the TE7 - I assumed you knew that Molly
I guess Pen didn't know it either
nope....but thanks for trying....
Oh, well
Still dont have the ta 6 words
i just wanted to know if it started with a number... ;o)
ta 6 words....one ends in the word for OM....OM....OMMMM.....the other is a japanese word that ends in a vowel....well they both end in vowels....
i am heading out....goodnight all....
should have said ends LIKE the OM word does....
leaving now...bye....
got the 6 18 but not the ta 6 21 anyone?
