Well, those are not two words that live in my memory banks.
hello all
Morning!
Good morning!
40 to go .....
is this grid difficult, or have I just not had enough coffee?
Mega coffee always helps! :-)
Nerf should be a word
This grid needs a few more Rs
clue for the te8 please?
Need that one too....
I've got the first 5 letters, you'd think I could get the last 3
Aha! Container for growing plants
Ends with the opera solo
I got it when you did, I think!
Yay!
what, terroir is not a word??
I thought for certain that was terror in French : D
In the UK it would be terraeor
enable is clearly not a oenophile OR a foodie
or taerroir
I've never heard of terroir so I guess I'm not a oenophile or a foodie
Wine related, Carla
Ru is an oenophile.
so I'm not a winey. or a wino.
heading back to charlotte today so I better get busy. TTFN.
it just means the unique flavor local soil and conditions imparts to a product, it started with wine but it applies to any food now
b erm

there's a babbler in the grid
Oooh, is it me?
speaking of which, phantom: tiara
one of my favorite babblers actually
no, scrabbler, but you are in the chat log now :)
So it must be me.
TY, welki. I am still searching for the babbler.
it's been a long time since the two of you have seen each other, ru - another reason to despise covid
yes.. i really wanted to go back in October.. i'm still afraid to fly right now
I see her now.
Smart, ruru.
because the last visit was in july 2019, it's now almost 2.5 years since i've seen my children/grand-children
:(
So sad, welki.
we had planned on a visit in feb 2020, but here we are
a clue for do5,16 please?
And the next big surge is coming.
i'm afraid you're right, scrabs. here, too
do5/16: actress Messing of Will & Grace, but change the vowel
do5/16 is a cross between a dog and a venomous snake in india
TY, hurshy.
thank you
and on a funnier note, there's a "new" word i've seen babblers use here in the grid - adorbs!
Totes adorbs.
and a little dog who IS adorbs, Norbert
anyone have all 4 8s? i have: di, in, re
When I was hiking 2 days ago I met a French bulldog named Howard.
i have no eights at all
te 8 hursh
hurshy there is a te8
ok thanks
In8 plural of a kind of boat motor
that's a great name for a bulldog
I meet dogs and owners often, and when I go on my way I know the dog's name but not the person's.
Me too, mab. I say hi to the dogs that I see frequently.
the people who used to live across the road from us for a lot of years had a dog named Ruger. No idea the people's names, though
there was a bulldog I used to compete against in obedience that cracked me up.. a total clown
Ruger was an escape artist and could turn the door knob and let himself out
there is a cat called betty in my building - her owner's name? not a clue. terrible.
... who were you obeying, ruru?
I'm not good at obeying hursh.. but this was a AKC dog competition
te8 clue pls
it's a latin plural, and it's like a tank where you keep fish, except instead of being a water environment, it's a land one
tiny garden, jeff7
several of them
ty
It always looks so simple once you get a hint....
such a darling little dog, Jeff.
True, Jeff
ty- one of my w rescue papillons
They look a little bit like very fancy jack russels. elegant.
Their butterfly ears let them fly through the air.
There is a papillon that won the agility at Westminster a few years ago. She flew through the course
rehi - ruru, did you see the national golden retriever show was in Ocala a week or two ago? I watched some of it online.
no.. i have friends showing there though
there was a lady walking 4 goldens around the rv place we just left. she was a breeder from CT on her way back. one of her dogs was in the show.
i've been to a few Nationals with my dogs.
reroad
sorry
cool. it's funny watching it - they all look and act the same! and like Winston.
(that is creative jeff)
an infrastructure word
I tried radioer. surely that is word.
he's not at asphalt for trying it though
I guess he paved the way for you to start punning
it's his way or the highway apparently
somebody needs to stay in their lane
not if you're distreet about it
I tried radioer too
you are driving this lurker crazy... ;o).... hello all....
as long as it's not e-roading confidence
I hope we don't make people exit
ha! hi, pen
hi carla....
when you traffic in puns, you expect delays
shirl trying to jam us up
we're merging on disaster here
this is def signaling a turn for the worse
don't beraid her now.
sometimes freeway jokes can lead to the fast lane for puns
yes, it's an accident waiting to happen...
not a pun, but we're on I-95 and they seriously need to reroad this. I swear a dirt road might be better.
what do you call a grandparent leaving the freeway
hmm, I don't know...
off gramps
hehe
wow, a pun and a joke
that's such a grandpa joke (next level after a dad joke)
hi all help with di7/8 pls

62 here...
109 left and working on the lower R in column 2.
I did find one of those if you want a clue or stat
Yes, please.
re5 - way back
Happy Sunday folks. Scrab's comment makes me wonder if most people work one letter at a time. I tend to work in word patterns.
TY
i work in an area of a grid and look for word families...
hey ori, I work one tile at a time until I'm stuck (hopefully getting at least half) and then move to next one. if I see a pattern I'll do all those then.
I want to find at least one word from each tile.
Good morning!
i switched to working one letter at a time quite awhile ago and found that i found more words in one pass that way.
good morning, m....
morning, m
I go one letter at a time also. Get as many as I can before moving to next. Then when I get all the way through I go back and work on tiles that aren't at least 1/2 way done.
We all have our personal rules. Some want NBT and NBS, but I typicall cannot find the big words.
me either, so I just ignore NBS
A family member will come up and look over my shoulder and say a word. I say "I'm not to that tile yet!"
Haha
haha. whenever my kids do that they always say words I already have.
Yes. That's what usually happens. But if they come at the start...
so then i tell them, you're going to have to do better than that!
Once I work through it, if I don't have a word on the big stats, I'll look at the chat log to see what was called.
Once I'm half way on everything I allow myself to list :)
In my early years I made myself finish every grid. It was painful and time-consuming. For the last several years I aim for halfway.
Today, I am having trouble with the bottom s, the o, and the right n.
Same Srab
well I have HOET. and finished first pass but 57 left.
oops
now i'm 1/2 on the n
95 left and I need to get on with my day.
N's are usually troublesome. so many weird ones, but at least now I know most of them.
oh, I lied about the HOET. I only have 8 of the T with 17.
found one - HOET!
funny.....i am down to 57 as well and yet I have 14 from that T....
yay!
I got 1/2 on the s
there are way too many Bs in this grid...
Now I'm nbs, nbt and 1/2 way on all tiles.
yeah, I only have 23 B's
I only have 20
NTPN...."It ain't over 'til it's over".....think baseball...
Well what a ruddy cheek some people have. I am fuming.
oh ha ha there's a cold one.
m, 1/2 way on all tiles = HOET (I keep trying to make it happen)
fuming??
oh, what's up, zooz?
hello zooz, quite the entrance! You ok?
oh...are you referring to the highway puns?....or are you upset with someone?
Berra
Hi Molly :)
I came home about an hour a go and when I got here next door neighbours are doing DIY. Well I jst put some music on as there banging was getting on my nerves. I am ot playing it too loud just enough to lesson the banging next door. They just had the ruddy cheek to knock on my door and asked me to turn the music down! I told them to F off and slammed the door.
🤣
Wow
Bingo! First column
Unbelievable! I still got my music going. Might turen it up just to annoy them as now I am annoyed lol
I need one T still in first col
So did I.
It was a tr5
wtg, Zooz... ;o)
It circled around up there in the corner.
Are they still banging?
Holy crap. Mr. Oh So Polite DOES lose it sometimes. Good for you Zoom.
Does spotify have a passive/aggressive playlist? :) (I crack myself up)
I have never even used spotify.
The amount of CDs I have here I am not short on music lol Also I have an amzing sound system that if I wanted could be very loud. I choose not to be a dick but sometimes I am tempted.
i hear ya...
So can they lol
well I've just tried a million things for that T and then I look over and it is gray. wonder what took. ðŸ˜
I listen to a lot on youtube.
HA HA HA!
not literally, of course....3000 miles is a long way for sound to go even with a good system...
Funny when that happens hokie
What are they listening to today zooz?
Narcotik- Blue Then it was Der Dritte Raum- Hale Bopp
Now it is Chemical Brothers- Music Aresponse.
Response*
"Old school progressive trance classic" Nice. Blasting them with trance music.
Now it is Catscanner- Headroom.
Oh wow! The way it moves from side to side!!
Yes you get the idea now lol
Nice heh!
Yes!
*m is making a playlist to use if she has noisy neighbors*....
I'm not subtle enough. i'd just blast Twisted Sister and be done with it. LOL
LOL
HA HA HA... the beat that sounds like pounding and then "beware of every sound"... You are amazing zooz!!!!
Wait for thye wobbly voice too!
think I will take a break. 50 left for later. good luck with your campaign, zooz. 😂
Nah I jst want to break up the sound of their DIY so not trying to be nasty I want to be able to enjoy my time without having to listen to a racket of theirs. I would rather listen to my racket which I finde a lot more enjoyable lol
I had paused it to tell my kiddos about it. Is it the buh buh buh buh
Yes.
and then the horn
It might be a synth voice, but it sounds like a horn.
I've noted all the others to listen to :)
Enjoy!
Thanks!
bort
poo
already have that one ;)
Off to the Spelling Bee....bbl to finish...bye all....
Bye, Pen!
Bye pen!
what's DIY?
Do It Yourself
Do it yourself.
Oh yup. Can see you getting riled up .. der dritte raum.
Nice tune that one.
pretty ballsy of them to ask you to lower your music.
very energizing
I'd recommend Rammstein Zooz.. at high volume :D
I could not believe it, Ruru!
Du Hast!
I had to go ask a neighbor to lower his bass in his car yesterday.. he was cleaning it and blasting music. I asked him if he considered his neighbors before he started blasting in his driveway and that the noise was rattling my windows and I could hear it in my house. He was a total shithead
And then drowning pool. let the bodies hit the floor. LOL
WOW.. if it's rattling your windows, just think what it's doing to his hearing.
We have awful neighbors, ru.
oh god.. your neighbors are the worst
Sad to hear that yet it is nice to know I am not the only one who has idiots for neighbours.
misery loves company zooz
rehi - mr. homie called the cops like the 2nd week in our new house on someone that was on a street around the corner. that's how loud it was!
We're good now that the poor guy down the alley seems to have moved. He had mental issues and would yell a script in his head over and over for hours at a time with lots of invectives.
I think the noise ordinance is 10pm, but he waited until 11:30 to call.
you haven't lived until you've got neighbors that have rap mariachi parties
thankfully that asshole moved away
I considered buying the house just to evict him
Ha ha..oh no. I LIKE the banda parties that happen maybe twice a summer next door.
I have awful neighbors on one side of me. And, like Ru, I have neighbors who play amplified mariachi music. Sometimes engaging in drunken Spanish karaoke.
Crikey!
LOL, when we first moved in, there was a lady across the street who sat in her garage all day, like she had an office set up, and just yelled on the phone. mr. homie said the same thing, ru, I'm going to buy that house and kick her out.
well, we're about to hit a rest stop for lunch. BBL.
I was elated he started packing up and moved away. A nice lesbian couple lives there now and they're fantastic.
well, I'm back. that was a bad rest stop, so on we go.
I am stopping for a while too. Happy babbling everyone!
every weekend it was another party..
i'd better start straightening up around here too.. bye all have a great day
Thanks for stopping in. :)
I have 55 left. I think I will list.

hi!

What is HAET?
Dutch word.

I like it as a goal after getting at least one on each tile.
Meaning it's inn the babble dictionary
Oh, I thought it was HOET half on each tile
working on turning each row black now -- still need f x2 for the bottom row
HOET makes more sense doesn't it.
I think it is molly
stalled at 60 - bbl
hello happy sunday morning everyone...at least it's still morning here

I'm going to list since I'm going nowhere by myself

HOET=half of each tile
thanks joym
I have managed to get to 40 left with no list

9 behind you peri - not sure I can get to 40 without the list

I have quite a few 4s I'm struggling with.
they are usually babblets that you will recognize after a while ally
I'm totally confused by the AR6,21.
Clue for ar6/21 please?
don't have it, but looking
Just found it. I was looking at the wrong A.
Clue please?
It has the robot ending.
joys clue plus s
right, sorry, it's a 5/6 combo
must be using the wrong robot ending, because the obvious one isn't working for me
Thanks!

Tried that too, Nan!
Hi all. Would love a clue for the i words 5th column i. Thanks
yes - well it was the only way I could get to 6 letters before I knew it was a plural
they're all INs
mkg sorry, I'm no help
old fashioned wooden speedboat classics had in 7 motors
Got them. Ty nan
there's a 7/8 combo that is a compound word + plural
and a 5/6 combo
Havent heard that word in forever, the in 7/8…..wow
They were tiny motors too. Today they are huge.
I wonder what that term meant really.
just the location of the motor as opposed to the ou 8 one
Ok. Got it. So what do the use today? In or ou?
32 left, 8 of which are 4 letters. feeling frustrated. stepping away.
want to find 6 more before i list
I'll tell you what's been frustrating me, is that I've been working hard to get B words, and STILL am only to 20 of them. Can't believe there are 19 more here somewhere, haha! :P
okay, found the br4 suitable for the winter, and a couple more br's.
a lot of the b's are plurals but just found one I've never seen before
do you have the french box?
no idea, as I have several B's I've not seen before, either, found by monkeys. Will look it up, thanks.
just google a english-french translator and type in box
okay, nope, hadn't gotten that one yet. :)
You've got to be kidding me on that wintertime BR4.
that is a standard babblet, joy
haha, who needs vowels? Kind of like the "psst" word only different. :D
it's may be standard but...
I missed a lot of "one who" words
I've got 11 BR words to find. Let's see how long it takes
I just finished the BOs Bless your heart
as I said before - a lot of them are plurals
My BR5 missed a lot of obvious words.
di 7-8 combo please?
got em all...4 minutes
Di + vowel + not wrong :-)
And plural
ty une - that will teach me not to look for something too complicated!
Hee hee :-)
Too many B's!!
and a lot of new words with no defs
is the NO7 part of a 6/7 combo?
yes
NM found it and yes it is
no + sacred passages
