nbt

top row gray - 107 left 🤣
phantom cashew
slowed at 27. did not get half of C or bottom A or D or i
ooh, found another C. now just those pesky 3 lower tiles.
You are up early, Carla.
Oh, does our lady of leisure usually sleep in? : D
I am not a morning person for sure
It might have been me who was late.
I did sleep in today. My bf got up with the dog.
quick, what's the space probe in the grid today
cassini
ding ding ding!
drop a letter in that word and it's accepted here.... good morning all....
thanks, pen
phantom glissando
yw....
They named a space probe after Oleg Cassini?
it's the name of a plain on the moon....perhaps the name predates the designer....
just took winston out. only 66 right now, supposed to get up to 91 today. guess we better go for a walk now! TTFN
Cassini was an astronomer
in the 1600s
And now stars wear his clothes. That works.
i thought he looked old when he was famous, but not that old... ;o)
I'm still wondering where Carla came up with glissando
the musical term?....was that her phantom?...i thought of it, too, when i was first looking at the grid...
glissando sounds like an Italian drag queen
LOL....or a gigolo....
never, glissando is a masculine word. :)
it means to glide
hello...stats for the right A pls
at6.18
ty
yw
and ad6/21
always forget that one...ty, ru...
Pen, how do you feel about the outcome of the US Open?
i am not a big Joker fan....the pressure got to him....Medvedev played really well...
ty ru
it seemed that everyone thought it was a done deal before it started...except for Medvedev... ;o).... to be honest, I was so tired of hearing about the calendar Grand Slam...
I was tired of hearing of it as well. But, I was in the camp that knew he would win. What do I know...
who won?
And I was for Fernandez all along, but I really liked Radacanu.
they said he was tired and played more than Medvedev.....but i looked it up...he played three more sets and no five setters....his tiredness was mental, I think....the stress was enormous...
Djokovich (sp?)....
Medvedev
sorry, he is the one who lost...Medvedev won....
the women's final was a lot of fun....
wow
i liked both of the women who played in the final....Radacanu was amazing all through the qualifiers and the tournament....didn't lose one set....unreal!
she had to win 3 matches just to get IN to the tournament. hasn't been done in the "Open" era
yes, she won 20 straight sets....
it surprised me a little that she didn't have a mental lapse in the final, given her anxiety attack at Wimbledon...
Maybe they worked on that after Wimbeldon
must have....she handled it all so well....
I felt sorry for Fernandez. I think her presssure came from her family.
perhaps....she did seem to be very stressed in the final...her little speech at the awards ceremony was very nice...
and she had one of the few nice outfits!....
The women's double team had the same outfits as Leylah. Maybe different colors.
yes, i saw that....i was happy they broadcasted both the men's and the women's doubles finals....
i am stuck with 13 left...
i'm stuck with 6
still missing two fours...
tand
oops, fingers slipped
no problem...
I'm missing a N 7 and a d 7
now missing just the d
i have a da 7 and a de 7....
ruru is it na or ni?
i have one na 7...
don't know mlf haven't listed
na 7/36
that's the one i have...
i found the di 7..
ah...one of my missing 7s...
for 7s I have a da, di, na, eq
there is a de 7, mael....
gimli's father is in the grid, for my fellow nerds
is that Gloin?....
oh man, I meant de not di. Is there also a di7? :)
yes, ru said there was...
that is gloin, pen!
thanks pen (and ru)
i got eq7
got di7
nice....
ty pen
duh.... found that di 7....finally occurred to me to start with the other D... ;o)
it happens with multiple of the same letter
G-loin sounds like a male stripper's name
First column A stats pls?
yes, you'd think I'd learn....
too easy pen
as 5/12....
oh duh ty
middle column single i stats pls?
io 6/18...
oh duh, I found the di7 too
clearly all the letters for glissando are there, molly
tired of this grid...listed at 12...
yes, carla....i saw that, too...
25 here. will give it another look.
well still have two to find... :o(
the C and G are frustrating me
'morning
i am missing one G and one O.....
hi welki....
well, I gotta get to work. BBL
bye, carla...
can anyone clue the gl 7?...
i have it, have no idea how to clue - lemme think for a second
ok, ty...
gl + mis-spelled tincture you might put on a cut
hmmm....
(that brown stuff that stains like a sonnofabitch)
found it...ty...
i was all around it...
i am done...
*Snaps fingers, beatnik in coffeehouse style for Pen
ooh....like that... ;o)
heading out....laundry to do ....bye all....
no idea welk
oh man, how could I forget the pastry??
da6 was my last word
have a good day everyone
tried all different combos of i's and o's and a's but not finding that gl 7
The ending reminds me of the boy in the story and his magic lamp
yeah tried working with the o, i and that ending too
maybe a different tincture than iodine
So you got it?
no
g + first three of fibber + last three of boy with lamp
ty molly - was going in the wrong direction
is it just me or is this grid a real stinker
23 here. slow going
have an appt to get new glasses - bbl
have fun! rhinestones are the way to go!
20. bbl.
Gasp! My life is over! Kanye has unfollowed Kim.
how can I unfollow hearing anything about any of them ever again?
phantom andante
Wouldn't that be nice. I want to develop a censor for computers that bleeps out phrases like "that's the tea" and "reach out" so I never have to see them again.
I've never heard that's the tea
Good morning everyone. Another small grid. Perfect for my small attention span.
howdy joy!
It is some dipshit expression some Instagram person uses
Hey Carla
lol. I've heard spill the tea a lot.
what's the stat on that lone A?
as5
oh, right.
People just aren't seeing that one today. Or da6
I can't find the lone i
hmm, I don't have da6. is that from the bottom? I have 0 bottom d's.
I think that is io6
of course, thanks
Yes. It isn't a weird word. Just laid out in a way in which we do not read.
can't see it until someone points it out and then it's right there.
<-----not a mental giant
still not seeing a da6
I have no idea what those 4 C words could be
you're so money, joy
There is a pretty normal di7 that is hard to see too
hmm
geez, there's a de6
money?
yes, ca4
Oh, doh!
It's a clue. My clue is one of them is Spanish
I think I need some more tea
for some reason I thought they all had to start with CH
I still need 1 c but have the spanish one, and the almost designer one
Hence the problem, since none of them start with CH
You need another ca6
At least it's not my imagination that making a CH word is impossible.
I was hoping chassi was some variation of the dance move, but no dice.
I would have defined the "almost designer one" as being plural gambling places.
Carla, I found out something amusing about SMASH.
do tell
I always used to say that McPhee must have been sleeping with someone to get that part.
Turns out, she was. The director, Michael Morris.
ha
Which is kind of funny since in the story it was Ivy who was sleeping with the director, not Karen.
ha! there's a de6/7
yeah, but I think it was (is?) way more common than we know of.
Probably. And McPhee and Morris were not at all discreet. And his wife took him back (fool)
I just started on the Ds. I see a DE6 but it has no 7, I'm pretty sure.
there are at least 2 de6
Ah ha!
got the 6,7
oh, a da7
please tell me more about this da7, carla.
adverb?
a sharp dressed man?
thanks for that, carla
wait a minute...you can't just adverb that word
np
A lion that grows in the grass averbially
It is a clumsy word and personally, I would never use it.
are there any QUE words?
all a
ty
I have 9 of the 10 Qs, then. Two 6, five 5, two 4. I'll give you 5 points and a bag of chips if you tell me what I'm missing.
my last one was a 6/27
I believe that is yours too
I have three Q6
ends in a vowel
I have two qu6,27
are there 3?
yes
yes
kinda like the aussie airline
got it. Sending you both chips. salted or cheese flavored?
I'm really into Zapp's Voodoo chips right now, thanks
Mmm...never seen those.
I'd settle for the top left lone A, in exchange
gonna have to get back to work. 15 left. C S DDD T G S AA L A DDD
you're gonna kick yourself, rbud - as5
AS 5,12.
Zapp's are made by Utz, which I believe is an east coast thing
ordinary word. I didn't see it either. It's twisty
Move As5
aha, many thanks!
https://tinyurl.com/jdhpesrj
They've got those at the Sheetz near me, not as big a fan as I thought I'd be
willy is a word but nilly is not. Enable is *so* willy-nilly.
not bad, but not as good as many of the kettle style chips
interesting. when I read the flavors it is odd that I'm such a big fan.
we have Utz pretzels here in Illinois, I love the butter ones. Not sure about chips, haven't noticed for sure.
💗 Kettle chips
I love the Utz cheese balls too.
They have a cult following? People are cult-ish about chips?
people are cultish about anything
Just about every day I say "Morrison was right, people ARE strange"
hey, just have to announce - new little grandbaby is home, born Sat. Theo Nicholas Thompson, TNT like his grandpa (my dear departed husband.) He's adorable, of course! â¤
he's our second.
Congrats, rbud 🎈
thanks! :) Just saw him in person for the first time, so tiny! I forget how small they can be.
They are so tiny and cute when they're new.
hi all. I do not have babble expert on my new laptop. Who has the information that I can use?
I know it's in sprite's profile
http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8
thanks
Why there is no link to that on Lickety's page I will never know
Molly I tried the link below and the other in sprites' profile but neither worked for me. I typed them into my browser
they have to be unzipped, don't they? They download as a zip file for me, anyway.
but where did it go for me to unzip it?
Molly's link downloaded fine for me, but showed as a zip file. I didn't unzip it. Have ever used expert, so I *AM* no expert, heehee.
does it say "show in file folder"? Mine does, but this is an old model laptop. Should maybe be in "downloads"?
*never used expert, I meant.
or chrome has "downloads" on the three dot drop-down list up at top right?
I hope you sort it out, peri, I've finished, and ought to feed the dogs. Have reached the limit of my knowledge of expert. ;-)
hello again
hello, periwinkle. Can you search your computer for BabbleExpert?
The link to Babble expert is: http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8
She wouldn't find it on a new laptop doing a computer search.
ad 6 please?
or the ai 5?
found the ad 6
*!*~*!*
Ok, I'm back and I'm going to get my last 20 words.
Maybe
except that I can't see the GL7. Is it a normal word?
i would not say it's normal
ends in a three lettered word for noisy.
Hi zooz!
Hello, M9f9l. Hope you are well?
ty for the gl7!
Life is complicated, but I'm doing well :) And you?
Life is rubbish and I am just plodding along. â¤ï¸
well ok then. It's gotta get better at some point. That's what I figure.
Irealized I wasn't listening to music enough, so that's helping!
Yes I love music. i remember when we would share music haha!
Yup!
What are you listening to lately?
The last one I shared with you was. Spice Diana - Anti Kale.
How do you remember that?!?!?
I have been listening to Bryan Ferry/ Roxy Music greatest hits recently.
I've been listening to Akdong Musician (akmu)
Clue for da7 please?
When it comes to music I am always grateful when someone listens and likes what I listen to. So I remembered you saying you liked it.
If you don't know akmu, try How People Move
All fine and Da7 with the sometimes vowel on the end.
well yeah, it's got such a great groove.
Thanks!!
Wow nearly 26 million views!
Do you understand what they are singing?
No.
Except for the english words ;)
I've looked up the meaning once thought
A really nice song I heard a while back is by a singer called Dimash and the song he sung is called SOS dún terrian en détresse.
His vocal range is unbelievable.
Yes. And i really like the tone of her voice
brother and sister
Yes I thought she had a great voice too.
Ah, the range of Dimash. Quite impressive!
Like Klaus Nomi range.
But such clarity in his head voice!
Yes I think it must of taken many years of practice to sing it like it was easy to do haha!
He has some natural born something too, because even with practice most people wouldn't be able to do that!
I think if you kiked me somewhere where it hurts I might be able to get that high for maybe a second or two haha!
kicked*
Ha!
he does a song called "Adagio" also I see. based on Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor. I recognize it because back in 1974 Renaissance did a song called So Cold is Being Lonely based on the same piece :-)
The lead singer for that band has an amazing range also. Annie Haslam.
Oh I will take a listen to the 1974 song.
Thank you for sharing that btw. He is amazing. He even has that rock scream like Ted Neeley.
You are most welcome.
Yes I see the resemblance between the songs. Love the So cold is being lonely song.
I used to listen to that album a lot back in high school
one more word!
If you need a hand with it just let me know.
fw
Congrats!
With that I will bid you a good night. I hope to see you here again soon â¤ï¸
Thanks! Did you know that Ted Neeley was still doing Jesus Christ Super Star until not that long ago?!? And he has a concert tour starting in 4 days. He's 77!
Ok. Good night!
for the 3rd time I am typing a message. hope it gets through. I have not been able to get babble expert to my new lapotop. I used both links that were given to me here. I used Google and explorer. I downloaded win zip. I give up
What happens when you click on the zip file, peri?
nothing opens
I might have to ask a friend who is in IT. I have done this before tho and it was not such a big problem
did I have to download win zip?
I'm not sure about win zip, peri.
I am back on my old laptop which still works
The link to Babble expert is not a zip file. I would try FIrefox. Is it only Expert you are having trouble with? If so, I would try emailing Lickety. licketySplitAUS@gmail.com

Hello to my fellow babblers!How's everyone doing today?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!Way to go
hello minver.. nice to see you here
Hello rururocks! Nice to see you here today. Is tomorrow the big day for California voters? U R in California, right?
yes.. for most of my life yes.
this stupid recall cost the state nearly 300 Million dollars that could certainly be used on more important things.. the craziness of this state baffles me sometimes
Any predictions? What do the polls show out there in CA?
Does that da7/44 word start with the same first 4 letters as the previous da4 word b4 it?Monkeys have given up😔
they think Newsome has nothing to worry about
no it doesn't minver
I just found the di7 as I was searching for that da7 word.
da7 relates to being dressed up fancy
Finally, I just found the da7 word. Thank U so much ruru!
yqw
Hey, does that da 7/44 word describe you rururocks?
D's Declared! 7 left
afraid it does not minver.. I've not dressed up in dress clothes for nearly two years with covid times
Never dressed up in dress clothes even BEFORE Covid!I'm a total plain Jane when it comes to my appearances.
i'm mostly in t shirts and shorts these days
Ruru,U are probably in and out of here, but can you help me with the last 7 words please? Monkeys have vacated.
you have the eq 7?
the GL7 begins with the previous GL 4 and then you add the beginning of supper
Yes, I have the eq 7/44 word already rururocks, thank U!
na7 is similar to da 7 a sharp dresser
de7 is minute things that people go over to solve things
Yes, I have the de 7/32 word already rururocks, thank U!
I need help with the ai 5/10 and the ai6/18 words please

stuck on the ti6,24
NM FW CAIO YALL
CIAO, I think?
(spent a few moments wondering what it was an acronym for)
Gwen - ti6/24 - in a very small way.
Oh, I see you got it already. lol
I only came here to see if the new grid was up yet; not sure if it's still at 6am (UK time).
Does anyone need any clues for the present grid before I sign out againn?
Seems not. BBL.
Hello Jacula!If you are still here I could use a clue please
Still around, Min - what do you need?
Hello Jacula! I need a clue for that na 7/36 word please.
Hi agaim Min. na7/36 is perhaps how a smart or dandy person dresses? Ends in sometimes vowel.
Thank you Jacula! I am finished. I finally have fireworks!
Does anyone need last minute clues before the grid flips?
Min - Well done! I knew you'd get that clue. *~*~*~*~*
Yes please. CA 6/21
and DA 6/24
ca6/21 word is a miniature or tiny house Annette and hi!
Hi! Thanks!
That Da 6/24 word might describe a pastry Annette.
da6. from Denmark?
Argh! It's the other CA 6/21
Hi Annette - There are 2 ca6/21 words.
yo Minveryork.
anette, there are ca 6/21 x 3
sorry. nanette
danish
Actually 3 ca6.21s!
Hello grannyrose!How are U doing today? Welcome back!
oops. Didn't change box. lol
Hi g/rose!
first ca6, like the gambling house, change last vowel
The third CA 6
First ca 6/21 word is ca*ual dress wear plus country **d**
Annette - never mind about not changing the box in the final stages of the grid. Just make sure you got it in your word list ON the grid.
last ca6 uses double consonant. c + eastern land mass, with double consonant
Panic mode! lol
Last ca 6/21 word is ca**ablanca plus **mbic pentameter.
Any more clues needed or needing clarification?
I was in panic mode last night Annette. Grid flipped and I still had two words left to find. Jacula saved me tonight.
nanette google chinese cinnamon
Aw! *Hugs Min*
Last word. Still looking.
no it IS annette.... my bad. see me 11:47
Are U still looking for the 3rd ca 6/21.Did U see my clue?
oops. It's the second one I need. I must be cross-eyed
1st ca6.21 - cas + not out + 3rd vowel. Spelling it out now at this stage.
ca + not stand up + vowel
casite
2ndd ca6/21 - same as 1st but tith 1st voewl ending.
That second ca 6/21 word is the miniature or tiny house.
close, annette
YAY!!!!!
WTG ANNETTE !!!
3rd ca6/21 - cas + same letter again, plus 3rd vowel then first vowel.
Congratulations Annette on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
I am not staying up for the flip. I need to go to bed. Bye!
Thanks for all the help as I went all thumbs. :-)
sweet dreams minveryork. xx
Sorry about the awful typing, I have major eye probs at present, but I hope I managed to help, Annette.
You did!
'Night. Min. Sweet dreams!
STILL NOT RESOLVED, JAC?
Glad to hear I did help,, Annette.x
*TYPING IN CAPS. MAYBE BETTER FOR YOU TO SEE.
Rose - I thought it was but then the Autumn allergens started! :(
UGH.... YOU POOR DARLING.
Until I know for sure, Rose, if the double AZ vaccine has boosted my immune stystem so much that I am overreacting to normal allergens, I'm a bit cautious about having the 3rd, the booster.
I PLAN TO HAVE PFIZER AS MY BOOSTER. CAN YOU DO THE SAME ?
Perhaps I should just keep on pretty much shielding and not going out without a mask into places where other people are? Having said that, I will have to attend a family funeral within the next 2 weeks.
I had the AZ vaccines, so will have to have same for booster here in UK, I think. Oddly enough, ex bro-in-law who had AZ in Canada is not allowed in to UK now on that.
I AM DOUBLE MASKING EVEN THOUGH I AM DOUBLE VAXXED. I WEAR A TRIPLE LAYER COTTON, WITH A DISPOSABLE OVER THE TOP.
Rose - I have always used blue and white medical masks.
The very same masks every NHS place wants you to wear if you go there.
