Good morning
good morning origami
you're up early ori
Yes, didn't sleep much last night.
me neither
me too I should say..
At least I don't have to work today :D
me too or me neither
sure.. just rub it in you guys :D
Me neither too
no work today Molls?
Where's a grammarian when you need one?
hey.. I got about 4 hours sleep
fever, chills, super hot, aches. but I got my booster!
Oh no, I'm out earning my daily bread. I was just joining in on the too neither stuff.
I can't spell and speak grammatically at the same time
Oh, good for you, hokie. I felt pretty sick after the booster also.
Personally, I am not interested in a booster that is just about guaranteed to make me sick.
Sorry to hear that homie.. I didn't feel a thing with the last booster
just a sore arm
my arm is really sore too
it could be my ABV is too high for covid :D
Up until Ru and Ori just now, everyone I know who has had a booster got sick from it.
well, I've heard the shingles vaccine (2nd dose) is pretty bad too, and as someone who's had shingles, I'd rather get the vaccine.
Oh, the booster did make me feel sick.
i got the first shingles shot.. still have to get the second.. thanks for the thought hokie
maybe I should take a roofie before i get the shingles shot
I need to schedule the shingles shots. A friend of mine had shingles and she was pretty miserable.
Oops, okay then Ru is the only one
my arm did hurt like hell though
my sister got shingles on her face and in her eye. it seems to have permanently affected her vision. :(
no idea how old ru actually is but they say older people get less sick because their body does less of an immune response
My arm hurt after the two initial vaccines. My arm always hurts when I get a shot.
That's cringe-worthy, lindy.
i'm pretty old hokie
yeah, I feel like my shingles was milder than a lot and I don't want it again
not as old as some here but older than most.
my husband has had shingles twice. he recently got the second shot for it so he shouldn't get it again.
He's ancient.
LOL
Nah, Ru is not ancient. But some here are.
Mumbles... back to boxed wine for that one!
are you old enough to be my father? (luke, I am your father)
I got my first shingles shot yesterday. my arm is sore today, but not horrible.
that's awful, lindy. I hope he doesn't get it again.
how old are you hokes?
48
how long is the wait for the second shot lindy?> I can't remember
Yep.. I'm old enough to be your father
I've had Shingles. Yuck
Anything but that, ru. That is reserved for desert drinking only.
mr. homie turned 50 this year and I can't talk him into the shingles shot.
two to six months
I am only old enough to be her mother if I was a teen mother. And you would have been pretty young too Ru
I did schedule my moderna booster yesterday.
well I started out at 13 molly.. so anything is possible
good, bea!
thanks lindy I'll ask my local Pharmacy.. just wanted a break from sore arms for a while
that's great bea
I am laughing at Ru threatening Ori with boxed wine : D
yeah.. I'll "Ancient" her
It's like the Mad Dog 2020 of 2022
Or 2021
Ru doesn't appreciate the finer aspects of camping in the desert.
ori has come a long way now as a wine connoisseur
I don't appreciate the finer aspects of camping anywhere
mr. homie's friends used to smuggle in boxed wine to football games like under their shirts. they called it "bag o' wine".
now if we can just teach her how to open bottles correctly
I'm too ancient to camp in the desert
:D
I've had traumatic experiences.
I am pretty crappy with a corkscrew. Back when my kids were drinking, I used to have to get them to do it.
LOL
are we tent camping in the desert or in motorhomes?
A motorhome is not camping
no tents.. just lying in the dirt for that one
Tent camping, hokie. If we bother to put one up.
motorhomes are glamping
ok, that was bad grammar too by me. looks like we are tent camping in a motorhome.
snap, ru
Ooo, I like glamping
yeah, I don't have a problem with glamping
We had a nice motorhome, but they are tons of work
Sissies :D
ours is still in the shop
(hippy)
Well, sort of
What Carla? You are not offended? You are not going to accuse Ru of being snarky? *Grasps pearls
(wonders if ori brings aroma therapy candles to the desert on her trips)
I don't mind tent camping if there's no critters around.
*Bets she brings whacky tobacky
(laughing)
You bet I do, Molly.
We were looking at an rv, but our friends stayed in our drive in theirs and it was way to much wordk.
that's how she can choke down hot boxed wine
LOL!
I would love to get a smaller camper
they are a TON of work bea.. it's easier to rent one
Oh look Ru. Origami has a Halloween icon like you used to.
sorta .. :D
That's the one I put up a few years in a row. Watched that movie last night
Love madelyn Kahn (Sp?)
I do, too. And Gene Wilder was great.
his best movie
Young Frankenstein is classic. PUT THE CANDLE DOWN!
I have never seen it
Great movie, hokie. It's playing on Amazon Prime right now.
ok, will have to check it out
I got a phone call from my sister once and all I heard was Madeline Khan singing "Oh Sweet Mystery of Life". I knew what she had been doing the night before. : D
(Kahn)
you got madeline right. :D
i didn't get madeline right
tinyurl.com/36sfw5z7 Fun Walt Disney cartoon Silly Symphonies Skeleton Dance
ugh.. have to go to work soon. it never ends
I have only 3 B's, are these ridiculous?
Not your usual Bs
I hadn't seen that in ages, Bea.
I'm off to do something productive...
Have a nice day, Bea.
bye bea
Genghis, Chaka, Madeline, so many Kahns/Khans
good morning everyone :)
Hi, nan.
hi ori - was just reading through the chat. Have to say my idea of a holiday is somewhere interesting to vistit and new people to meet, but most of all a comfortable place to stay with no cooking, no cleaning and someone else makes my bed!
I enjoy that also 😀
A holiday away. What pure bliss that would be. Hubbie looking a facing another round of chemo. Holidays are looking even further away sigh
Hi all. Need clue for the O in third row please. Ty. One word. Stat too please. Ty.
mkg, oo5/12 past tense
Sorry not got it yet
Thanks Cosmo
sorry to hear that jax - what kind of cancer does he have? Mine is nearing the end of his first round of chemo (one more cycle after this one) for lung cancer.
Ty.
Got it. Ty.
He's got a form of bone cancer - dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma - really rare, only a handful of cases diagnosed in the UK every year. His cancer came back in his leg in May, so it was amputated in July. Unfortunately he's now got metastes in his lungs. Prognosis is poor. Hoping we can get him onto a trial
I hope he can get help jax.
hope so too.
Need stat and clue for the 8 please. Ty.
So do we. Very little available. Seems to be only 1 drug that could possibly help and that is still in trials - stage 2 in US but nowhere else. Nothing in UK and not much in Europe
ae 8/60
our oncologist is hoping to get her hands on a brand new one that targets hubbies type of cancer, so keeping our fingers crossed.
Any clues nan? Ty
knowing that there is something out there that would help, but not sure if it is available is the pits
I pray that we can someday erase this horrible disease.
work at it mkg - begins with a standard prefix
Ty
Is the prefix same as the ae 4 befopre it? Ty. I assume so.
change last vowel of the ae 4
Good luck nan. We will try our hardest to get the drug that could help him. His oncologist is good, but constraints make it difficult
Hard times.
oh - just looked at my list - no it doesn't - a prefix that is commonly found here (the ae 4 after the 8 but with a different vowel at the end)
Jax, is there anything at NIH that is trial? Or at sloan kettering in NY? And can you get there?
Ty nan
ty jax
hello all....
hi pen
*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)
hi nan...
congrats!
ty pen
hope your husband gets in on that trial jax
The trial is at Sloan Kettering - expecting to recruit 17 patients only. Been open since March 2020 already and still recruiting. Cost of a trial in America would be prohibitive for us with flights, treatment, scans, accommodation, etc and obviously no medical insurance in the US
Wishing you the best, Jax.
Zombie Halloween find: Breins!! (misspelling is deliberate)
In6/27 clue?
problem when relatives marry each other
Incest? Hmmm
Nm!!!
Tx joy!
✔
I need a clue for the OR6,21
excessive, overdone for the or6,21
What you find in a mine + last three of Here Comes The _______
*wedding song
oops. sorry. My clue was the 6,18
thanks, Molly
Second or6/18 please.....already have "elaborate"
Northwest or6 airlines of yore.
Not familiar ....

Murder on the Or6 Express
thanks seain. I've now been set straight...or or6/18ed.
Aaahhh
Tx!!
indeed, cathy!
i'm old enough to have flown on NW Or6 Airlines.
4 to go.....
Remember Braniff? :-)
i do! and BOAC and PanAm
An alligator made out of bread dough (look it up, it's impressive) Who knew you could do such a thing?
Alleghany and Piedmont before they became Usless Air.
Best deal I ever got on an international flight Paris to NY was PanAm
the bread alligator is so cool?
how lovely, Une!
is so cool! not ?
My Mom worked for Pan Am way back in the 1930's
That's FW for me...need clues???
And thanks all for your help, as always.
How cool, Molly!
Congrats, joy!
Y
It is pretty impressive Une. I would be interested to see the other entries in the contest.
Oh you were maybe talking about my Mom working for Pan Am
Y indeed!! What I had intended to type was that my sister & I flew Dublin to Naples (return) last week for €35.00. It cost me €140 to park my car at the airport for 7 days. Bonkers.
holy moly - €35.00 converts to $41 USD/$50 CAD for a flight that's about 1600 miles! you did good!
and you said 'return' €35.00 round trip?? that's amazing
in Europe, airfare cheap, shipping expensive.
so it would pay to deliver presents in person - sounds like a win/win :D
from where i live, i can fly to Europe for less than i can fly to California. But CA is farther.
clue for the 8?
i am so sad. i think my ipad finally died today. i have had it for almost 10 years!
oh, bummer.
i think the 8 is an RE but i'm not certain.
i really only use it to read and play babble. maybe i should get something else....
thx dc. will see what i can find.
hey guys.
hi hoki
EI, I cracked my ipad mini this summer and miss it. mr. homie got a kindle fire this summer and he didn't like it so I took it over and it's not the same.
first time I haven't had an ipad of some kind since they came out
mine seems to be infected or something. wont let me load anything in safari. hubs will try to work his magic when he gets home. BUT, also wont update or load apps anymore. hasnt updated in years. :-(
yeah, my original one got that way, they just aren't made for the new iOS updates.
my MIL prefers then indle. but not sure it will do all i want.
I prefer my kindle paperwhite for reading for sure, but the fire is not my favorite
I was trying to get a browser on it and then discovered it already has one. I just don't know android.
yeah, aside from computers, i'm an apple gadget girl.
reinfort - to put up extra protection
I still dont have that ae 8. Further clues welcome. Just dont see it.
oh, it's ae8?
I don't think any of us have it, mkg
Good to know we are all stumped.

i think several of us are missing it, pen. i wouldn't mind a clue. ;-)
was going to say we all need a clue

i am trying to put together a halloween costume last minute for a party ohn sunday night
ooh, what are your thoughts, TO?
i don't like dressing up for halloween, so it's difficult
i am trying to get a cajun mardi grqas costume. if not, flo the progressive girl
nice!
carla, have you done the Spelling Bee today?
wish I could help but I've never been good at it either
i have a few stand bys for last minute costumes. i am not super creative. that would be my second son. he is super clever.
he went as Lt Dan last year. from Forrest Gump.
i tried the bee, thought it very hard today
pen, finally made it to genius earlier. it was hard today!
how did he differentiate from any soldier?
same here....made it to genius yesterday, but i am bee blind today...
how much does it cost to join?
he did the post war Lt Dan. wheelchair, amputated legs....
i wish i could showyou a pic.
TO...are you asking about the NYT Crossword cost?...
he his his legs under a blanket and then stuffed jeans with cloth and tied them off at then knee and had them above his real legs in the wheelchair.
the cost for the nyt word games suite
i think it's $39.95 a year....
$5/mo. I signed up for monthly to try it out. need to just change to yearly.
i always do the crossword and the bee....occasionally, i do the sudoku...
need to recharge battery, later, all happy babbling

fo 5/18?
i have a question for anyone who bakes...
german wind
Fo 5/18 is your strong point or skill
Sorry, TO, I’m not a baker, I hope someone else can answer your question
Toor
I bake some, what's the question?
i bake!
but that german wind thing is not helping me. lol
I only know the german wind from this game. enemy + 2 consonants
i am making brownies and putting candy eyeballs in each square. if i put them in before baking will they rise and get lost?
i don't want to bother with frosting
I don't think they will. not sure what the candy eyeballs are though.
Your best bet would be to partially bake and then add or you can flour the eyeballs to keep them from sinking.
thank you all
they are small candies,, carla
kinda like the candies on a candy necklace? I've seen and used those. they might be heavier, I'd do what EI said.
okay. i need to go, had flu shot and arm is sore. worse than covid shot.
carla they are not as big as those
if i don't start them soon they will never get done.
I am still struggling from my covid booster yseterday. good luck, TO.
last word is fo 6/27, the first one...
Hi all, does anyone have a clue for the ae8?
weird word. clued earlier something like plane prefix with a dif last vowel and past tense ending....
to oxygenate?
or let in the breeze
Ae 8 is a pt word
good one TO.
Ei, the only fo 6/27 I have is about foundation. Is there one before that?
apparently.
there are two. the one i need is right after the german wind.
Well, try your enemy & stay up in that right upper corner
got it. dif spelling perhaps?
ty that was a weird word.
( use both O’s
FW! thx to all the cluers.
Yay, ei! WTG!!
thanks NEF
wtg eieios
Carla - I got boosted on Tuesday at 2P (moderna) and did not fully recover until this morning! Advil really helps, if you can take it.

Hi Round barn! What’s new?
WAS IN THE WRONG SPOT., NEF. I'LL SEND NEWS ONE OF THESE DAYS.
Okay. I hope all is well with you & your family. Take care.
O's Outlawed! 10 left
Go, Min!!
Hello Nef and thank you. I hope that all is well with you!
Hello Minveryork and Nef. I have not been playing for a long while and it is nice to see old friends now that I am up to playing again. I hope you both and those you love have been well.
We are okay here; its been an adjustment. Hubby has gone downhill, he's using a walker & we just got an electric wheelchair (he just needs to learn how to use it now)
Hi Bugsaw! I haven't been around here for nearly a year; but I got a new laptop & finally found this site again.
I am so sorry about that downhill slope. Life gets really hard as we age, doesn't it? Will you bubble wrap the furniture while he is getting the hang of driving? Or maybe just bubble wrap him for a smile.
(we now live in assisted living, but it's good for DH)
So you have been away the same time as me then. I am glad that you are in assisted living which should mean you will have fewer responsibilities.
He's hit a few doors already; took out the corner of the bedroom door too! 😒
I have been away too for a short while,not as long as you two. I am busy with a full-time job and 2 part-time jobs.
It's such a relief for me that he's in a safer place & I don't have to be watching him 24/7.
I'm glad to see both of you here back in Babbleland again
Wow, Min! that's a lot of work!
Wow, Minveryork. I never could have managed 3 jobs and kept my sanity. Well done you. I hope your commute is less and that you like what you are doing.
Nice to see you two as well. Good chatting with you again. Thanks for the catch up.
Yeah! I certainly hope your commutes are manageable!
My commute is the same, but I do homework help at the library after work, so I don't get home until 6:15 or 6:30.
Oh, MY Goodness! Do you just eat & fall in bed then?
No,I eat & do my online job when I get home from work.
I liked doing homework help after school The students learned so much better when they were in a small group or we worked one to one and it meant that they were motivated to learn. Saw some huge successes doing that bit.
I do not go to bed until 12 or 1 in the morning these days
Nef has a good point, though. I hope you schedule in some fun to keep your mental health strong.
😳. Are you enjoying this or are you trying to catch up with bills, etc?
(Maybe I'm too nosy, sorry)
I actually enjoy ALL my jobs,but also catching up on bills
That feels good too, doesn't it?
Please take care of yourself, Min. paying off bills, is nice; but take care of yourself too.
Also, trying to start some savings as my divorce depleted me. I am getting there slowly, but surely. Anyway, I have 7 words left and I would like to go to bed at midnight.
Man there are a lot of Babblets that I forgot about. The monkeys are helping.
Sleep well Minveryork and know that you are valued.
You can do it Min!!
I's Immersed! 5 left
Can I please have a clue for the first fo6/27 word?Thanks
I found it with Nef's clue: start with your enemy and stay in that corner
it has 2 of the same letter in it
I saw that clue also, but I still did not get it. Enemy goes down to the left or straight across to the right.Is it upper right hand corner Bugsaw?
yes Min.
You are in the right corner Min but the second letter also shows up below the one on the right
I mean the second letter can go down AND to the right, not just to the left
I think you are tired.
How about = start with your enemy plus the beginning of ripped
Thank you Bugsaw! Now ai need the fi7/52 word please.
it ends with the robot ending. Women often get them
in the breasts mostly?
Mine were in the uterus but I am not a nurse
B's Bamboozled! 2 left
yup, uterus
F's Familiarized! 1 left
go Min. I just finished and I will be here to help with bad clues if needed
waves at Dorens
Congratulations on your fireworks Bugsaw!Hooray for you
hi bugs
Go to bed, Min. (It's almost midnight.
Hey ruru. Hope your day is going well
just got in from dinner with a friend
nepalese food
How nice. I still have to eat. It has been a long day where the best part was going to the dentist. sigh
oh boy bugs.. livin' large there
that made me laugh. thanks
I really didn't want to ask for a clue for my last word,but I am getting really fed up with this grid and my monkeys!
you can't be fed up with your monkeys minver.. like ever
you are tired, no excuses needed. What word is hiding from you?
<--- is curious which word Minver is missing
me too!
i did something great today
ok, spill it
i deleted my facebook account. i'm done with it
I'm finished! I have fireworks! So glad I didn't ask for clue
wtg minver
It was totally a fish word. Thank U for your help Bugsaw!
Well done, Minveryork! You deserve a prize for such perseverance!
Can stay for 10 more minutes if anybody needs any clues
By the way it was the wi 6/30 word that drove me crazy!
Facebook has never been your favourite, ruru. I mostly use it for the instant Messenger bit.
That was my last word too, Min
Facebook supports my addiction to Candy Crush games.
I must go on a hunt for food. Tomorrow will come whether I am ready or not. Happy Babbling everyone!
that was my first word actually
Bye Bugsaw!Great to see U. Thank U again for your help.
i better get to bed.. i'm a bit tired.. hi and by minver.
and bugs
Hi and bye rururocks! I am right behind you out the exit!
