hey you guys/gals in the USA, does your DLS change this weekend?
not til nov 7 here in new york
Not sure about the US, Diz, but clocks going back in Europe on Saturday night.
thanx ivesy, just wanted to know when I have to wait till 5pm in my zone down here in Oz
yw. not looking forward to it.. will be dark by 6pm
Nov 7, Michigan
fw, deep bow, see y'all later
We're moving our clocks on Sat. night here in Israel.
it's dark by six here in MA already, ugh
but the worst for me is how dark it is in the morning. We're up at 6:30 at the latest and it's pitch black from october to february
well I have HOET except both O's. why are these so hard?
You don't have the top O?
no, is it easy?
yes
oh, now I see it
geez, maybe I need coffee
only have 2 of the other o
found one - HOET
Does anyone have a clue for the last se7?
oper
open
sorry, I don't have any se7
sorry
last se7 is a fish. A sturgeon. First 3 of a number after 6 + bare floor covering + vowel
Great clue, thanks!
Good morning, Babblers.

GM Scrabbler
Good morning, Scrabs
Is that a Russian word, Bea?
TY, Bea. Odd word.
Oops Scrabbler
well that's a new one to me
hello scrabbler
did someone actually call that last night?
Owl, did the storm hit you a few days ago?
First one called. Those people read the dictionary for fun.
are there 2 se7 though, maybe they were calling it
It is probably Russian. Used for cavier.
it = the other one
no, lots of hype. but the river towns are in peril because of today's storm. over 50 homes comdemned in Lambertville because of Ida
scrabbler, i got a flu shot and i have never had such issues as i am having. it hurts to move my fingers. afterr three covid shots, this was way worse.
Oh, no. Our Babblers south of Boston got creamed by the storm 3 days ago and probably still don't have power.
i was thinking bout them and wondering
I didn't have any problems with the flu shot this year. that stinks, TO.
the shot hurt going in like never before
Owl, the location of the injection could be the issue. If done too high there can be problems.
i have NEVER had anything like this.
maybe they hit something going in
my arm feels weak/
I will get my CoV booster on Monday.
When did you have the flu shot?
mr. homie had a friend a few years ago that got a torn rotator cuff from a flu shot
Over 150,000 in Massachusetts still without power
Mr. Bea gets his booster this morning. Mom and I on MOnday.
yesterday afternoon
wow, I didn't know that about MA
A friend had an injection way too high and had nerve issues.
scrabbs, I had my covid booster on Wed and it did not go well.
Put ice on the site and take naproxen. Expect 2 bad days then improvement.
interesting you would say that. it was very high and i called him on it. said they were routinely given high. and i could feel a dribble of liquid
What was the problem, Carla?
i cannot take any pain meds. no localized redness or swelling. feels like a nerve
fever, chills, aches, hot flashes
Carla, I have Tuesday off (the Indian Reservation Clinic is closed for Election Day) so I have the day to recover.
and it burned going in too, which I don't rem. the previous 2 doses happening.
good! you might need it!
did your friend's nerve issues resolve?
should i see my doctor?
I am mixing up the imms, getting Pfizer for #3 after Moderna for the first 2.
Apparently, people are not responding too positively to Facebook's name change. Funny comments from people on the internet.
Owl, she had longterm problems and needed PT.
Lambertville NJ Bea?
this doesn't surprise me, molly
have they changed the name to spawn of satan? :D
oh hell. ty scrabbler
I just stuck with moderna, scrabs
That will work fine, carla.
No TO, but SOS would have been a good option
hello all
Good morning, lindy.
hey lindy
how is everyone today?
guess I can't complain ðŸ˜
how about you?
doing pretty well, thank you
Slowly gaining consciousness here.
is this a hard grid or I'm still half conscious?
I'm finding it difficult.
just back from the laundromat in the rain and just started so too soon to tell
still have 70 left and it's very slow going
I must go get ready for a zoom.
I am multitasking with Instagram and FB and Twitter.
I keep thinking this is Sat
the oldest said he'd come and visit after his classes today so I'm excited about that.
Is he in college nearby?
yes, about 20 min away
so the youngest going 2+ hours away this year has been a big adjustment.
I bet.
my youngest is hoping to be able to move out soon, she's having a secondary interview for a new, much better paying job. she's 31.
well, I hope she gets it!
me too. we love having her hear but of course it would be good for her to afford her own place.
*here - not enough cofee yet I guess
well, I guess I should get some things done. 53 left for later. have a good day, everyone.
Bye, carla.
good morning, all

stupid re7/8
Any clues for the stupid re 7/8? Ty
Oh i think i just got it. Ty.
re ar5/6 the 6 is pl
that's not that stupid... if there's a mistrial or something, the lawyers have to re7 the case. i could see that.
rm
ap
sorry, my computer is lagging
are you ok?
oh ok
was worried you had a stroke or something
(waits till hursh has to find the se7/52)
That was a fun one.
you'd need a sturgeon to operate on that one
groan, ruru
Second groan
:D
I only have one o word. Any stats or clues welcome for others. Ty.
I should have had a caviart on that statement
Just got one more.
i can't think of any fishes that are se7
is it the upper S or the lower?
is it a whale? it ends like the bel*** one.
bottom one.
thanks rbud
think of roe roe roe your boat
don't recall ever seeing that one before!
As Ru said, it is a sturgeon
Now someone will say "I shad have seen that"
hahaha!! didn't mean to barge in, just got back here, good to see the humor.
i try to find humor in almost everything
se7 is a fish?
type of
the se 7/52 is
there is also an se 7/32
which se for the 52? i assume the bottom?
yes. the 32 is from the higher one.
i found se6 from tat bottom s
I clued the se7.52 at 7:26.
today i'm finding R the most difficult
ty bzz
I hear that. Several perfectly reasonable-seeming re- words have failed, haha.
i noticed the same thing
good morning everyone :)
gm nan :)
morning nan
hi nan!
ty for the se 7 clues - new one for me and someone called it within the first 10 minutes last night!
oooeee i just found an oe6 and 7 (french in origin)
They were fun to find.
i drew an egg on that oe word
which o, hurshy?
lower
nm - found
ty hurshy
Ru you are thinking of oeuf. The oe word means the entire works of a writer
i am thinking oeuf.. oopsie
I'm a dumb cluck
thought you were thinking of appetizers
Hence the joke, why do the French have only one egg for breakfast? Because one egg is an oeuf.
ha!
and yet the oe 7 word has a certain... "ovaries" feel to it, wonder if the words' histories go back to the same sources.
haha, Molly, new one for me.
I'm not sure "ovaries feel" is a great statement.
doesn't look like they have related etymologies
yeah, but the feel is there.
I'm sure the french are fallopian all over themselves with that one
just try pronouncing it without knowing how in French, haha.
Well, many people know how because of The Louvre
not mention those other oes- words.
hello all, per my scrabble dictionary the se7 is caviar from the Caspian Sea
funny, I don't really know how to pronounce Louvre, either. Just have never heard it anywhere, though I read it all the time.
Peri, it's the caviar and the sturgeon it comes from
loo-vra with the a sound being really short
oeuvre has a different vowel sound though, not oo
oops sorry
yes - but rbud was talking about Louvre
thanks for that, nan - and yes, I'd wondered about the "eu" sound in the oe word compared to the Louvre.
tough grid
help with re7/8 please
The pronunciations are close enough. And nothing like ovary
verbal fight again
It gets really pedantic in here
ty Bea
yw
pronunciations matter not if you've never heard them. And who's being pedantic, I have to ask?
yes the oe word begins with a short e sound I think
it's more like the oo in look and book, but frenchier
the french have so many different pronunciations for each vowel and that is withoug throwing regional accents in
need one more from that bottom o, but not seeing it
me too. went to list and found out it's ou6/27, but still working on finding it.
ou 6/27...
hello all....just finished... ;o)
grats, pen
thanks pen
ty...
yw...
anyone want a clue before i leave?
yes please for that ou 6
like the monkey or ape (not sure which) but with an extra vowel....
ty pen
i guess it's an ape i was referring to...
yw....
gourilla
damn it
:D
heading out....have to get ready to go... meeting my great nephews to give advice on buying an electric guitar....
didn't know you were a guitar player :)
when i was in high school, i was in a garage rock band and in a school folk group...

*!*~*!* struggled with this one
any clues wanted before I leave?
can I have stats for the 8?
re 8
re8/55
re 8/55 - part of a 7-8 combo
ugh I was afraid of that. have I mentioned lately how I loathe re words?
want a clue for this one?
sure
you need to go to court to find it
what a lawyer does again and again and again
The judge granted an appeal so the lawyers had to re8 the case (plural)
resue is only 5 letters :-)
I don't want to fight with you again. It would be silly to re8 the point.
start with the top r
guess I can leave with Molly hanging around - hagd everyone
I got it, was just having fun with resue
thank you both
enable never disappoints with the stupid re words
*Going back to my bat cave to "hang"

ruer
can have a clue for the se7/52?
Bea's clue from earlier...first three of the number after six + bare floor covering + vowel
ty Molly and Bea, I had tried that with the softening vowel but not the other. firewords!
Huzzah! the FDA has approved Pfizer for miss2bit (and 28M other US kiddos)
I am sure many parents will be relieved to get their kids vaccinated
That is kids 5-11 for anyone who has not read the story
I know you are happy about that dan. I too am happy not just for my grands but for all children in the US.
I am just about over the stupid R's in this grid.
Pshaw! Who would know tht was a word?!
Ills
ragu is a perfectly good word. It was a perfectly good word when Enable was written, too. Harumph.
ragu went right pasta enable though
isn't it spelled ragout?
either spelling works -- one is from the French, the other from the Italian.
ragu being a corruption of the french to make a brand?
excellent pun ruru
in french it would be ragoux
and ragu is derived from that
No, it is spelled "ragout" in French
it's saucier as ragoux :D
And it's not really the same thing, I think
are there any OU words?
i think ragout is italian
hence ragu for what is passed off as italian pasta gravy
One that I know of (ou words)
No, "ragout" is French, "ragu" is Italian
according to Food & Wine "Ragù is a class of Italian pasta sauces made with ground or minced meat, vegetables and, occasionally, tomatoes. Bolognese, for example, falls under the ragù umbrella. Ragout, on the other hand, is a slow-cooked French-style stew that can be made with meat or fish and vegetables—or even just vegetables"
‘Ragout’ is for the romantics In Italy, the term ragout is generally still used to indicate recipes for fine stews of meat, fish, or vegetables. On the other hand, more recent term of ragù is more correctly used to indicate classic Italian ragouts – like the Bolognese, Neapolitan or Sardinian varieties – which season fresh or dry pasta.
according to la cucina italiana
But "ragout" is originally a French word
Oh no! We have a disagreement of experts. I hope they battle it out.
meanwhile, back at the ranch, are there any OU words?
One that I know of
I can't find anything for that 4th row O except for 2 oi words
ty gillie
Think primates
the word for a willow
reuse
ty owl, that word shows up a lot and I usually miss it.
we are in the midst of another storm. we are between two lows and the einds are howling.
and it feels so cold. rain is comig
I had a moment of excitement thinking that eind was a new Babble word I didn't know, but I think you meant to say wind. 🤣
yes. this game makes one good at reading between the lines. and the mistyping. with some fun results
I just saw in the chat that there's an OE6,7. Hmmmmm. I have a boring meeting coming up in 10 minutes, so I will have something to think about.
sometimes all it takes is a break
i keep thinking french for appetizers
right, of course.
Well, you should be thinking French for "work"
I find that too -- I can spend 15 minutes not finding something, but if I take a 2 minutes break and come back I usually find it.
Although appetizers are a kind of work
(Artwork is another)
time for my meeting...I hope to be productive and finish the grid while I listen to people blather.
Sorry to confuse - it's perfectly sensible to think about appetizers
my FL friends told me we are getting more hurricanes than they are. they're right
In Vancouver (where my brother lives) they recently had to put the ferry service between Vancouver Island and the mainland on hold, which I think is pretty unusual.
Not because of a hurricane, but rough weather
not seeing the LE 7
Did you find the le7, joy?
no
Rest and relaxation
Doh!
ty origami, I should have seen that.
I could use a nudge for the re 7/8 please
To fall out with again
heated words
what a lawyer has to do in the case of a mistrial
Ah, thank you all.
you're welcome
REBILLMORE$
damn it
Ha!
all those RE 6,24s are killing me. I can only find 1.
It took me 20 minutes to find my last r (which was a 6/18) :D
just found another. I have the one that runs the university and the one Frank Sinatra has a few of, but I can't find the 3rd.
and I only have one of those 4 RE6,18s....
just found another and that completes the bottom R, so at least I know which R to work with.
11 r words left
Those r words are killers.
tough board really
finally back. do I even want to bother? I guess I'll try one more pass through.
well, I found 13 words. will leave the last 35 in the bucket.
