Holy crap!

Nice way to end the year.

Sorry, when people "might be" weary
Happy New Year, liz!

Hi wv, n, Molly, Bea, Lizda
102 S words
85 T's
whoa!!....hello all....
Interesting what 4 S's will do to the word count
yes....have to add them to every word, lol....
Nope, every word does not end in S
but it's easier to just type it than to see if it connects to any of the four Ss.. ;o)
well the first 200 words were fun... ;o) ... glad I started this one early in the day....
200 words in 19 minutes? Brainiac
lots of word families in this one...
Name that proper noun...ritzy store famous for it's New York location
saks
saks
saks
shoot Bea was faster
Ding! Ding! Bea wins a gift certificate to said store and some ritzy New York accomodations.
i am jealous!
Not me. New York City holds no appeal for me whatsoever,
well not now, for sure....
i just assumed there was no expiration date....
I'm not big on crowds aside from the COVID thing.
As a ex New Yorker, I would agree with Molly
I'm not a New Yorker but it's a great City and a TON of fun if you do it right
it's nice for a few days....i like shows....
The crowds
well i would not go now, that's for sure...
Time Square will be less crowded this year. Only 15,000 instead of 85,000.
Growing up in New York, our windows faced the elevated train. I woke up to see a man masturbating
yuck....
On the train? Was the train stopped?
oh wow
No, he was on the platform
I have seen men masturbating in public on three separate continents, it appears to be a global problem
they'd have to be pretty messed up to do that
oh, definitely
I have come across one bopping the baloney in a forest preserve, not even attempting to conceal himself.
Hello...may I have the corner E stats pls?
volcano
ty ru...morning blindness.😎
funny that ha7 is in the grid with all the public demonstrations
ooooeeeee
just logged in and the conversation ... lol
you could get into serious punning now ru...
logged in Shirl?
you took mine ruru
you stiffed me
ha
here we go
it's like watching a tennis match....
with all the lobbed balls?
well.. if you can't beat em...errrr never mind
The clam word is a phantom.
what's the clam word?

yes...a WOWie....
TWSS
good morning all
(that was for bea)
Just wanted to get that in before Carla.
I'm not sure what twss is
That's what she said.
halfway - time for breakfast
Everyone have the black eye and collards ready for tomorrow?
blech
It has just been recently that I have started to enjoy any type of legume other than the peanut.
i love black eyed peas
never had black eyed peas
but then I'm half Oakie
starting to gag just thinking of them...lol
My black eye pea dish is a chili made with sausage and ground pork. I throw in a handfull of collards for the green. And to make my momma holler.
in delight or in disgust?...
I have never heard of this tradition. Is it from the South?
i braise my collards with olive oil and a touch of garlic before I put them in bea
In disgust. All I have to do is look at her and say, "Veg-All".
Ru, I do that when we are eating them as a side.
gives them a little more flavor.. I just use ham hocks too
Bichon, I think it is a southern thing.
and top with crumbled bacon :D
are there any rh words?
Mr. B ate it last New Years. He grew up in Florida.
the only New Years tradition we had growing up was going to my grandparents (as did my cousins' family)... My grandfather would bless us all....
Black eye peas for luck. Greens for wealth. Corn bread for gold. Pork for prosperity.
we had all that in one blessing.. ;o)
I can't see how rh words would be possible, hurshy.
yeah me neither but you never know with this game
There are ps and pt words.
i got the no-vowel one
jinkies, am I seeing that number right?
yes...lol
You are indeed.
thanks for the heads up, bea...
looks like I'm going to need some more coffee
probably a bad sign that I can only find 2 a's off the bat
That top A is a devil.
good to know from the A expert
idk, i found 13 of them and only 2 were weird
I can make 80s game consoles though
well, you're like ruru, I don't trust anything you say re: level of difficulty. no offense.
I beg your pardon?
i am missing four...
well the weird ones are ar4/8 and pl if that helps :)
ðŸ˜
oh, we've had that before
now i am missing two...ty, hursh...
well now I have 9 so I can move on
11
just finished the a's... only one weirdo
anyone said the total A number or do I have to add them all in my head?
49
happy new year
101 Esses.
NTPN....movie/TV studio....
Desilu
ding! ding! ding!....
oh wow, good one
Has any one seen the movie?
not me...
I just watched the movie with Kidman. She was awful
She said she had a hard time being funny. I can't imagine anyone playing Lucy.
i would think it is harder to play an actual person than a made-up character
have no desire to see the movie. there is only one Lucy. cannot imagine in that role
they should have cast someone used to doing comedy....
I didn't even know there was a movie
cannot image Kidman in that role is what I meant to say
yes pen
well i have to go....bbl to find the last 167....bye all....
Bardem was much more believable as Desi. So was the guy who played William Frawley
The TCM Podcast about Lucy was wonderful. It's season 3 called The Plot Thickens 10 episodes
only 436 left here - bye pen!
is there just one pt, or more?
296 left here
Did anyone imagine how Lucy and Desi made a baby with those twin beds
nothing bigger than a 7 so far
Yes, only one pt.
ok thanks
oh mylanta, 50 7s?
found a th8/55
well I had the root and the pl, but didn't make the 8. thx
the only 8 I have
me too
Yesterday we had auld. Not today.
but we have a war hero/actor
I have 5 8s but no 9s or 10s
9 eights here no 9's or tens
4 8's, 2 9's, 0 10's
ooh, I grayed a tile!
Is someone writing all of this down?
I am.
I have a spreadsheet started, don't worry
i just found a 10!!!!
One 10 is fairly common, the other not so much
i think mine is the not so much
Yeah, I would figure you would find that one first
I just found the superlative ending, now I gotta go back and look at the tiles I did.
I started a bit backwards today.
Okay, I will play, how does one start backward?
at the bottom right, obvi
I have the de10 . What is the other one please?
st
is this the biggest puzzle ever?
Thanks!
nope ... 744
wow!
is that st10 a compound?
And not everyone starts at the top left Miss OBVEE
I thought the st was the one you had.
Today, I started at the top of the last column.
The day of 744 there was no list. Some people finished
oh, no. i just didn't think de10 was common.
No it is not a compound
I'm going to shake things up this year. =)
phantom residue
There was a list the day of 744
... there were all kinds of problems ....
hokie, make it an adj
of course, thx
I now have 1/7 of the 8s
which D does it comes from?
bottom
thanks!
The 10? The bottom
What a word.
so you can do something half-assed but not assed
oh you can do something asses alright
She said assed.
Which word Bea?
well, yes that is a word, ru
The de10.
assed too :D
I'll start using it when I go shopping.
Has no one ever gone to a high school graduation? That is read at every one I've been to
but that means that st10 is weirder than de10
i was stoned at my graduation.. i don't remember a thing
hmmm. just went to one this past summer.
Now, how could you be stoned at your graduation if you have never smoked?
st 10 is weirder than de10. De10 is on greeting cards, posters and t-shirts
decongratulations!
I think it is a song too
By the Eagles.
I guess the PB is inactive on a day like this?
I smoked back then but gave it up after high school
No not by the Eagles. That was Desperado
i'm just not grokking any of the 10 clues
well, I don't know what grokking means, but me either
you better let somebody love you, let somebody love you
Best line in that song is "your prison is walking through this world all alone"
I graduated in a class of 21. That poem would have been more than those old cowboys could handle.
Grokking?
Stranger ina strange land. Now accepted by dictionaries like enable
Wow Bea, was that graduation from a one-room schoolhouse?
grok = to understand, from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land = my nerd is showing
No, but there were only 100 students in the entire school then.
... and they'd all read Stranger in a Strange Land ...
even my graduating class was way bigger than that (167)
phantoms: lieu, adieu
I thought we *all* read that in the 70s
Like Dune.
pb
I started kindergarten in like 78, so definitely not
Oh no! you're right!
Not all of us are science fiction readers. And who read Dune?
... some of us read it in the sixties ... only time in my high school career I got to be one of the cool kids ... ... the cool kids discovered it and as the resident Heinlein expert I was explaining it to them
i read dune and liked it
PB is suspended today because you can't have a convo without hitting on one of these 506 words
i read it but only within the last few years
All of my cohort certainly. The first one was great. The sequels, not so much
you youngun hokie
read dune, was good
hurshy's like 4 years younger than me
Do you guys all dress up and attend Star Trek conventions?
Galaxy Quest maybe lol
i went to a trek convention when i was about 11, and got nichelle nichols' autograph and a plastic pair of spock ears
my xboss not only did that, he went on a ST themed cruise
Comican
so, what's the length of that PT word?
pt6
I shudder to think of what one pays for a Star Trek cruise
and I found 1 PS, is there more?
no, ch
I have 1 ps words
I have 2 ps words
5 ps
Sorry, ps x 5
i have 3 ps words
oh geez
well I found another but will probably have to skip the rest
thanks molly & bea
that brings me to 450 words!
**Wonders if Comiccan is where the people who got thrown out of Comicon go.
I think we comican
I guess ponte is a proper noun?
as in the Ponte Neuf?
it's a fabric, which reminds me I never told my NTPN the other day which was cupro
I swear, Hurshy sends me to Google more than anyone else here
yeah, I was like what is the ponte neuf, but then just kept looking for words
well i was wrong anyway, it's Pont Neuf, no e on the end
one of the famous bridges in paris
ponte is a stable, double knit
finally found a word with that -ise ending
cupro is a very soft, recycled cotton, kinda like rayon but stretchy
phantoms: sound, resound
yep
ooh what is it rasta?
to8/9
omg, 54 D's and they're not popping out at me
ty rasta
thx rasta
thanks!
two 9s there
There are two of those 9's
we've had that before and I think it's stupid. you can just use the 5.
to say the same thing
thx bea, you are correct
bbl
Me too...228 left.
That's why it took me forever. It's not a real word. I like the music one better, one letter away, that's not accepted
281 left here but I'll try a little longer
79 here for me
Go ruru, go! 304 to find for me.
Go ru indeed!
ruru will finish and then declare it easy. haha
Yes.
I am shooting for HOET today
this ain't an easy grid.. by any stretch
good morning everyone - left at the halfway mark last night
hey nan
You made a lot of progress, Nan.
Just hit the halfway mark....
11 K words?????
Go Une, go!
I managed to get 7 K's but no idea on the other 4.
150 to go here. hoet but still no 9s
Let's go, people.
Tot9 :)
si 9?
sidetone should be a word
I just tried sidedesk
I meant sidenote
and yes, side desk too
oh, that def should be
is there a si 9 -- or there should be? have to 9 x2 but don't know what the 3rd one is
I assumed macca was asking for a clue for it
yes!
obviously none of us have it 🤣. maybe ruru will chime in.
well it is not the adulterer's "other"
there is an si 9, clued earlier as si 4 plus article of woman;s clothing, meaning is a way of fertilizing garden
it's "duh" when you find it
weird, thannk
ty saanichcat!
ty saanich
great you got it!
well I was looking for sideblouse at first
Did you get a lot of snow the other day -- son set pics of Vancouver - awful
anyone know what the 10 is?
It wasn't a duh for me. I have never heard of the fertilizing term
yes, the 10s are ST and DE but I don't have either. there are some various clues just a bit ago.
Which 10
ah yeah nan, I am still stuck up my driveway. Maybe free on the weekend. Nowhere to go anyway and it's really pretty. BUT COLD!
also have never heard of it
maybe the term isn't widely used in the States; it is up here.
Does anyone get it when I say "Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence"?
like, get where the quote is from or get what it means?
sure do. got sick of it in 1966.
Get what it means in terms of a 10
oh, then no
Ahh...I should have seen the si9
is that the graduation one?
no
I knew bea would know the si9
Thank you Saan. I guess that is something only we elders know
not this elder
It is like the most over done poem in history
who wrote it?
mind you, we were busy building a house and dealing with a new born for most of 1966
oh nan you would. It was so over-used. posters, cards, all made to look old, when it was written by an American in the 1920s. Max Ehrmann. PB for me.
Max Ehrmann
OMG...I wasn't able to pop by at flip time last night and I just started now and OMG. 506 words! I am overwhelmed.
is it for the de or the st?
thank you and google, got the de10 now
the de
hey joy, I felt the same when I signed on this morning
doesn't matter - that saying means nothing to me
arnaz + remove the rodents + vowel
well I just need 1 lower D for HOET
ok - remember seeing the posters now -- thought it had something to do with the catholic church, like hanging a cross on your wall
Happy New Year's Eve everyone! working on the si 9, got the first part, but don't have a clue about article of woman's clothing
ty carla
Tx hokie!!
thank google 😜
not slacks, dawger
Women all over the world will be wearng one to parties tonight, dawg.
Turkey and -----ing
I hope not bea -- we had a big enough jump in covid cases after Christmas -- pile new year parties on top of that? OMG I hope most people are sensible enough to stay home.
ahh thank you thank you thank you.
ok, I have DE10 and Di6 from bottom D, can someone give me a stat for another?
Now Nan, you know most people have no common sense
Hey dawg!
di7/8
hmm, are they related to the 6?
hi ya Unea!!
COVID cases are spiking all over the place here and yet classrooms remain open as do other things that should not be
yes carla
or do they have the prefix to undo something?
ok, thanks, saan
ariser
which 6, the pupil one?
that's the one I have
are there 2 di6 from bottom D?
there's another one that is a latin plural
and then the most grim situation
the most grim is the other D
Oops sorry. I just noticed my booboo.
oh i didn't know we were saying the 7/8 was from the bottom
phantom disuse
Most grim doesn't come from the bottom d
oh, well that's what I asked for so I just assumed it was bottom D
don't have the di 6
ty molly
yeah i came in and didn't scroll back to see that
basically I just need 1 D from bottom to achieve HOET
phantom disease
found one! HOET!
there's a past tense where the root is from the other 6
di7/8 - start like the sour pickle end with pay the r*** monthly
that's not related to a 6 then
thanks bea, was never going to stumble across that
You need to stick a vowel in the middle of Bea's clue
did anyone say what the other 9 is while i was gone?
si9
si 9, to x2
to9 x 2 and si9
yes
lol, carla
apparently it's a duh compound word to the canadians and the master gardeners
ok
hurshy doesn't really need help, nan 🤣😜
yes i doooo
clued for dawg not long ago
Apparently she needs help spelling do
alright, I'm going to get out of my PJs. 154 for later if I decide to come back.
happy new year if I don't see y'all again today. I guess I could say it tomorrow.
canadians and gardeners... hmm
Who needs help spelling?
PJ's at lunchtime. What a life.
is the st 10 a compound?
compound word
I don't even know what day of the week this is, molly
Hurshy doooooes
Not the st10
I may undecorate inside today. I normally wait for old xmas but kinda feeling cluttery in here.
I wait until The Epiphany.
ok, will keep looking - ty bea
it's not starentous
Besides, we like the decorations up for our anniversary.
maybe that's what I wait for, the 6th?
Yes, the 6th
We take down on New Years Day. Enough is enough by then.
yours is tomorrow?
mine is the 7th
Yes, #22 tomorrow.
mine will be 27!
Happy Anniversary Bea
i am struggling with both si9 and st10
we have always kept ours up until 12th night, but then we always used to have a 12th night party too
and yes, we had an ice storm the day before mine and then mr. homie's family complained about a wedding in the mountains in winter.
Anyone who can stay married that long is doing something right
st 10 is a long step not taken early
happy anniversary, to all of you
Thanks, nan.
hmm, cryptic
thanks, nan
Ephiphany, 12th Night, the celebrations go on and on
ah, was looking at the wrong ST
thanks nan

Who said she died?
Wonderful lady.....

Oh, no. She was always one of my favorites.

these other people that have died the last few days, like john madden, i purposely refrained from saying "at least betty white hasn't died" in order to avoid jinxing her, but it failed

clue for that sr 6 please?
nan, sr + tv commercial + what I might respond to a funny

That si 9 can also be when you add something to a food item, but not right on top.
I don't think I have that piece of clothing. slflannel? sl
can I have my *ing on the * please? good one, ori
:D
I don't think the re6/7 and 8 are related
yeah, the 7 and 8 I have arent but I can't get a 6 related to that 7
WW reaches you to ask for your 8ing one the *
ty bea - would never have found it without your cllue
<---- chopped liver
LOL!
does the 6 you are looking for follow the 8?
ty all.. finally found it, whew! this grid has been a doozy. Going for a nap and then think I'll cook up a mess o' turnip greens. Happy New Year !
Finally found my re.
soak
Shit.
I have all the r's but have no idea what carla is looking for
I have no idea either
I mean, darn
To leave in water again.
I did not have those, thanks
to see again was my last one
not resee. lol
Take the stain out again.
or to stain again
There you go, nan.
That's my husband. He does that to his shirts all the time.
I'm left with nothing but Ssssss...
la 8 please?
the state of not being early
you have all the tough ones bea
duh - of course, ty - forgot that suffix
I actually found that one on my own this morning to my great surprise
Because I have all but the Ssssss.
I meant you have the tough sssss
I just need 1 A to have the four corners grayed
ar7.32?
I have one
have that one
There are two
oh, do tell
One is the most dry
that's the one I have
I need all 3 ad's -- someone said a gland I think, but I don't know many medical terms
kidney related - ad + a kidney word in the grid
Think kidneys, Nan
I only have that and the pl, do not have the other ad
if someone's kidneys stop working they are in * failure
ty - just need the last 7 now
the other ad7 means to adore or worship
wow, first guess. thanks faith
This is the way geeks spend NYE.
still need that other ar7, bea
Well, I finished the A's at least :D
ty forward
I don't know how to clue it. A form of to be + not yes + you and me.
perfect clue, thanks
4 corners gray! and yes, those are my only grayed tiles.
well done bea - ty
awesome, ori. I still need 3 + 7 A's
ae 7 and 6 left for the a's -- assume they are latin
Fiddle around with the same last letters I just clued.
was that for the ae 7 bea?
are those ae's from the bottom or middle, nan?
anyone have the first ta7,32?
nm if found it
first one I have is being late for school more than once
ta is late, late, late
sounds almost like the Doctor's time machine
:D
ae words that i have are from the middle
BUT i don't have the 7
oh wait i do have a 6 from the bottom also
it's a name from greek mythology
oh i see and with an extra letter it can become an adjective word, so yes, those are from the bottom
sorry - computer froze and had to reboot
well, unless you know greek mythology you haven't missed much 🤣
the ae's I'm looking fore are from the bottom
don't know mythology at all
me either
typed in something greek looking though at it was the 6 following the 7!
ends in you and me if that helps
de10...a pretty famous poem.
well bea already told us that so I'm probably just slow and will look it up
don't know what is going on, but now my screen is stuck - can't adjust size or move it
cathy, much talk about it earlier. not too famous as I am not familiar.
ah - and extra vowel before you and me for the 7
ae + compass direction + you and me
Nice, nan.
got the 6, will work on the 7
stuck again
no vertical adjustment of screens
think something is wrong with expert
hmm, try rebooting one more time
oh, didn't realize you were in expert. no idea.
rebooted again. Missing the di 7-8
did you find the ae 7?
di + last part of able to speak another language well
di 7 and 8 - using this will weaken a solution
mm, no g so...
my dad was * in spanish
ty for di7/8
I assume you mean the bi word, but don't see how to tie a similar ending to the di
still missing 7 of the 8 letter words
and the 7 and 8 come from differnt d's
no, not that
I just need 2 8s
nan, did you see my 4:52 post?
oh - I see. Ty Carla
was missing 4 d's -- 2 now
du 7 and da 8
I still need 17 d's! but haven't looked at it since this morning
du7 ends with the loch monster
found the da
silly word
help with da8 please
da8 is info + sun coming up anagram
think of the books you wrote in as a kid "dear di*****". Now imagine similar books for info entered into a computer program
ty Bea
Soory...Been a long day...
ty nan
I'm looking for 7...
yw - glad you got it
which 7, bea?
7 total I think she means
meanwhile, I have 99 left
Six left now...
du 7 please? Monkeys quit
did you see where bea said it ends in loch monster?
only one letter left to find
ty - misspelled not shiny I guess
*!*~*!* whew!\
nice
Good job, nan!
only 97 left now
any clues wanted?
I will be right behind you.
too many words left, may as well list than bug you for stats, but thanks, nan
you can guess my missing K if you want
one more word game to finish, then need to run malwarebites and crap cleaner.
good idea
ka 5/18 - like the famous photograher?
What in the world???
what bea?
was that your missing k?
nan, I have a couple of ka5/18 but I don't think I have what you are talking about. now to remember a famous photographer...
photographer ends in h but otherwise the same as the limestone
ka 4/9 and plural?
erm
Just give me the word after the winning st7.44
i know ansel adams
and um margaret burke-white, but only because she was mentioned in "What Women Want"
well the one I have is st6, bea
everyone is under a lot of st 5/10 due to covid, bea
me too
Whoa! That was a lot of st5.10
*st 6/18 I mean
well, I didn't have that, thanks, nan
st6.18, I mean.
a ka4/9 pl would be 5/20, not 5/18
on my way - back at the flip. Happy New Year, Bea
bye, happy new year
hello again....
pen!
yes it is a 5/20
is that pair the one you were relating to a famous photographer?
I need to go fix dinner. My mom is giving me the evil eye. Reminds me when she would tell me to come set the table. After telling me three times, she would yell, "Put the book down and set the table." NOthing changes...
ok, I have that
haha, bea
bye, bea....
ooh i only need one more 8 (and 30 other words)
nice....156 here....
think I'll make supper now. 87 left.
I also just have 1 8 left
see you later...
and now i only have 10 more 7s to go... haha
has the du7/36 been clued lately? or the li6/21?
don't know....just got here....
du7 like boring things, but it would be an 8, you would think, you drop one of the letters
li6/21 is german hosen with an extra vowel
li6hosen
jinx dan!
that li 6 means "song" im german
ty and good night
bye, TO...
finished, a lot of words!
congrats...
no malware and crap cleaned - hopefully will work better now :)
nice...
need to change icon in honour of new year...
i did like your national wine day... ;o)
oh that is the new one - didn't think it had uploaded properly :)
well i see it when i click on your green pic....
maybe after I sign out and back in again -- although I did do a hard boot
who knows?.....it seems to work differently all the time...
that's for sure
any clues needed before I log out?
just tell me please if the 9s or 10s are compound words....
I did a hard refresh and see it
wb, carla....
to9x2 are different tenses. si9 is compound
the 10's are not compound
ty...
10s are just weird
one 9 is a compound, but the other 2 are not
du 7 pretty please
ty....
ty....
property of not being shiny misspelled
i am that appreciative... ;o)
nancy check hurshy below
5:32
du clued at 6:01
ty, nan...
TY got it, going crazy with this grid
how close are you to the finish carla?
I finally listed with around 100 to go -- couldn't remember what I had already entered anymore
86 left. just slowing going through each tile again and then I'll stop. no interest in going to the list with a huge number left.
with some the weird words, the list was still a challenge
i am close to listing....
I was really surprised there were only two loch endings though
me too. i'd like to get 2 or 3 more words first
why is the li6 not plural?
because it's a German word...
they don't do plurals?
i am guessing... ;o)
because it is an adjective?
I thought someone said it was a song
why is hardass not a word? no rhyme nor re 6
it says it IS the plural - songs
A lied is a German song. The plural is lieder. Lied most often refers to a song performed in German by a solo singer with piano accompaniment.
like kind is child and kinder is children
oh, I just read the same
on my way - see later
bye, nan....
'night, nan
is the third AD word related to the first two?
i have two ad7 and they are not related
ok, thanks...then your third is related to one of the ones you have....
aHA that was my missing 8!!!
ok, 25 left, that's 95% done, i will list now.
thanks pen
you have a lot more patience that i have... ;o)
darn, that's not my missing 8
i hate AE words...
400 to go. Time to list.....
that's not something one hears every day! lol
I know, it should be 400 to go, time to cry....
happy 2022, hursh!
i doubt it, but thanks. happy 2022 to you :)
there, done!
congrats...
thanks to the babble gods for winding up the year with such a nice big juicy grid
I hate PS words - still need 3
same here...
I agree, hursh! Thank you babble gods.
Amen, hursh.....though i was happier earlier than i am now.. ;o)
happy 2022 jac!
Happy 2022 to you, harp and to all. x
I was asleep last night at the flip so I didn't realize what we had until about an hour ago. But we were just going to watch tv so I can probably finish
have you looked at the bee, pen? I saw the pangram first word, but the other words, not so much.
haven't looked yet....
and remember folks, never blackmail. especially not if you know they've murdered someone. that's just asking to be killed yourself.
ty, jacula....same to you!
there's only 23 words but I only have 11
Hey Jacula can I ask if you've been in touch with Haz? is she ok?
i am missing five out of six AT words... :o(
Hi all. Missing bottom corner e word. Please send stat. Ty
Hi ruru. I haven't been in touch with her lately, but will do soon. Did see her here on the chog quite recently.
et4/4
I have no AT words. Sorry
mkg - bottom e is the babble volcano.
Ty
there are 5 at words that all go together
ty! Never remember it.
Got it
Athies
Athis
Oops sorry.
they have to do with repenting and making up for one's actions
I have 3 ATs
those 3
there are 5 tho
Got the at words. Ty
you need the person(s) who
oh....forgot there was a third A....lol....ty....
ah, my other was at4, unrelated
now I just need 9 L to gray bottom row
so hurshy, what was my missing K? was too confused earlier.
i am only missing five L words but I am still missing other bottom row words...
is the DA 8 a weird word?
yes, but we've had it before - it's a pl but the sing is not in the grid due to no Y
hmm...ty...
oh, um, let me see
I guess it's not weird if you're catholic
got it...
mine was a ka5/18 that came after the measures of diamonds or gold
ok, will look. looks very likely it.
got it, thx
is the DE 10 an ordinary word?
thanks Jacula.. haven't seen her in months.. just wanted to know she's ok.. people take breaks from this game I guess
not to me but some of the older players said it was very common at one time
a poem read at graduations and on posters and tee shirts. but I've never seen it before.
got it...thanks.
np
ruru - I think she's still playing but perhaps not posting on the chog much. I'm the same these days.
I got out of my pjs after noon...is it too early to get into pjs? it's been at least 7 hours of clothes.
i don't think she's playing that much
Hi. Haz has given up on Babble - she has a pretty full life
oh.. that's kind of what I thought lyn... that's fine just hope it wasn't a health issue
hoped that is
Has she lynxxx? I'll ask her next time I write or ring.
I meant given up on Babble, not about the full life.
Right, I'd better dive back into the grid as I still have 122 words to find. *s p l a s h ! *
really have no idea where 6 more L's or 8 more D's could be
do you have the la 6 that is related to wool?
I found an LA7 after I posted that but I don't think I have a 6 related to wool
think I got it now
thx
yw...just found my last L....
wow, nice
71 left!
i take that back....have all the LA words...missing one LI and three LU words...
72 left here...
I have 8 LU and 4 Li
10 LU & 5 Li
only missing LU now...
just found an LA and thx lynxxx
so looks like I have all the LA now
done with the Ls...yea!
finished! wow
huzzah, dan!
congrats!
thanks lickety and all cluers
congrats, dan...
just found three OA words without looking at the grid....been playing too long!
ha! I had one oa4 all day and just got the anagram a few min ago
i am struggling through the RE words right now....and have skipped quite a few words before that...
really no idea on my last 3 L's.
I still have 5 R's left, probably all RE
do you have the la 5/7 combo?
and the four praising words?
yes, I found out thanks to lyn that I need 1 Li and 2 LU
so I guess I have some idea, just no idea on what those could be
the LI 7 is an unfamiliar one for me....
the last seven LU words start with the same three letters....
ok, I do not have an li7
*i feel like Will Shortz sometimes*.....
ha!
ok, now I know the 3rd letter of my LUs
you can find them....
thought I was onto something with lunear 🤣 too long playing today
found 1!
was hoping for a combo but doesn't seem like it
would you mind cluing the odd li7?
sure...li + email gone out + vowel....
ugh, we've had that before, thx
bottom row gray!
only 67 to go ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
48 here...
is the re 6 and 7 after the apartment fees a combo?
yes, think town in CA
in tom petty song
i am clueless....
we have it quite a bit I think
it's a grayish green
but tom sings - she's a good girl, living in re6
i am missing seven RE words... :o(
I have one left an re 7 which follows the re 8-50 can anyone put me out of my misery?

hello again, peri....
and y'all are way ahead of me. hey peri.
hi all
can someone please clue the sr 6?
oh, I did earlier, let's see. sr + tv commercial + short laugh
ty...
is the st 10 related to the st 7 before it?
half of it is
first 5 the same, ye
ty, dan...
got it!.....
it means crickets chirping. I'm sure that will help. 🤣
use the end of your ad7.36
yes, found it, ty...
dan's hint did the trick....
ok, 10 4s left, can I find those at least?
i think you can!....mine are done....and you usually find yours before i find mine...
i finished going through the list and I have 13 to find now....
doh, there's a frog plus 2
can someone please clue the ae 7?
do you have ae6?
if so add a vowel toward the end
no....just the first ae word...ae 5....and then the ae 4....missing the two in between....
if you have ae 6 add an extra vowel in the middle of the other two at the end
i don't have the ae 6....
hurshy said it was greek mythology. basically ae6 is 2/3 vowels
ae & if gittery or shaky you are ***v***
ae + abbrev for the region you live in + not them
ae 6 ends in you and I
got them...ty all.....
now I'm singing lady gaga
fw
congrats...
woot woot
not familiar with aus avbvreviations I guess
what do you mean?
I was clueing for pen

I really want RADISH to be in the grid
i like crab, too....

I want radius, jane
is the Di 7 an ordinary word?
oh, NTPN - gluten free company (in US at least)
not unless you're like a scientist
sorry, no idea...
udis
di + most of the word for being able to speak another language well.
now I want to know the radius of a radish.....
damn ADHD....
quite a conundrum
ty, carla....
np
i have four left....all RE words....
57 left. still 6 4s left
are you still playing without a list?
yes
i am not that masochistic.. ;o)
you're assuming she's not still enjoying it!
I just don't like to go through that many on the list. would rather not finish.
i just buzz through as quickly as i can, skipping words along the way and then go back to those...
looking again for those Tom Petty words.... ;o)
sorry, I messed up the lyric earlier - it's a long day, living in re6
don't apologize...you could sing all the lyrics correctly and I still wouldn't know the town...
it's twisty, down, backward, up to the right
sounds like what flood waters do with a different vowel at the end
found it...ty....
well done!
i am done!!....whew!
I bet some of my 4s were already entered. you know how big grids eat words.
yes, happens all the time....
I gave you a preemptive hoorah because I thought those others were your last 2. ðŸ˜

yes, to produce a sound like a cricket chirp

I've been working on this beast on and off all day and I'll be lucky to get it half done, but I hope you're all having a nice New Year's Eve. Happy New Year, my Babble friends, and may 2022 bring us the end to this horrible pandemic.
same to you joy
thank-you Joy
thanks, joy. back atcha.
hello friends, and happy new year
hey trif, HNY
thanks. I am so glad to see 2021 end, you can't imagine.
ohhh, got it - thanks carla!
can't believe I missed na6 after the week I've had
that doesn't sound good carla
I'm just highly susceptible to motion sickness and have been having vertigo which is making me sick
Hello, and Happy New Year. I hope that this year will be much better than the last 2!
hi nef\
hey, HNY!
Awful. I used to get really bad motion sickness in every kind of vehicle before I started taking ginger pills. Even with the ginger, though, I can barely step foot in a boat.
How are you, Harp?
I'm fairly okay in vehicles, joy. boats not so much. anything else involving motion, not so much.
good, lying low. husb just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago for a collapsed lung, i sprained my knee. So we're a sorry bunch!
I hope you can keep your feet on the ground, or in an unmoving bed, for a while.
oh no, jane! hope you all are better soon.
thanks joy
Oh, harp; so sorry to hear that! At the same time, this is a good time to lie low!
That's bad, Jane, when you're both sick at the same time. You can't even take care of each other. I hope you're both improving.
We are, but in the meantime we figured out how to get all our yard work and shoveling done for the season. We really need to come up with some long range plan for getting old....
My injury was almost a month ago, and its' probaby 80% improved. No surgery needed which is good!
if any of you have some prayers and/or positive vibes left in your kits, could i please have some? two nephews who we spent Boxing Day with, including hugs, have tested positive. their dad, my bro has a sore throat and a headache. Hubby and i had our boosters two days ago without knowing we may have been exposed.
oh, hopefully you weren't! thinking about you all.
I'm sorry to hear that, granny. Turning on the positive vibes and the prayers both, and I'll turn the volume up to 11 for you.
Most vaccinated people who get omicron are asymptomatic, so they say.
thank-you, i'm worried because we can't get my bro on his phone.
my bro and both nephews were double vaxxed.
they'll probably be fine then. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.
hopefully they'll be fine then
I've got 300+ words and I'm going to call it quits, since it's time to exercise.
252 left here
