ty lickety
hi, nan
re7
Did you get a chinnok today, gillie?
I guess so - although it hasn't been terribly cold recently
thought it was supposed to get up to 12 today for you
Yes, it was pretty warm
still hovering around 2 here - foggy in the am as the lake is so much colder than the air
well 19 left for morning, good night all!
goodnight dolly - won't be far behind you
top single E ?
eg5
eg 5
it's an eg 5
aah thank you all
that got me nbs nbt :)
tried it with the J
not seeing anything more -- goodnight everyone :)
Goodnight, nan
Goodnight, Nan - I'm close behind :)
re 7 x2, re8
34 left for the morn, night all
no idea what the RE 7/48 means... thx Lickety
hello all
Can I have a nudge on that RE, please, IG?
NM, monkeyed it
e
hello all....*waving to carla*......
oh the hokester is back
well she is online....
lurking counts as being "back"
i suppose...
Is she vacationing?
don't know...
rehi carla
morning all!
hi saanich
hi saani....
(thinks every day is a "Vacation" for hokie"
maybe she likes to go through first pass without opening chat.. I do.. hi all
i do that too.. like to focus and ignore acronyms :D
hi aloy....haven't seen her in a couple days....
oh.. camping perhaps
hi ru too
maybe she's been kidnapped by ISIS...and is trying to reach us
hi all
she appears to be online....
could be ..
good morning mael
hi mael....
hi mael
she could be on a vacation with Ted Cruz in Cozumel
how's everyone? waiting for the snow do its thing so I can start shoveling
ooh.. how much did you get, mael?
expecting snow all day here.....blizzard conditions....
not expected to end until tomorrow morning....
yikes you guys
so far only a few inches, supposed to get something closer to 2 feet by tonight!
yes, similar here....
hoping you all don't lose power.. stay safe
we have a generator, thankfully
are you in Mass? mael? i just read Boston is getting two feet
yeah, I'm just east of Boston proper
west, not east
if I were east I'd be in the atlantic ocean, lol
not expecting power outages here.....snow is lightweight .....very windy.....
i have a generator here too.. it's comforting for sure to know you have one
yeah, at least we don't have to worry about the freezer
very windy here too, but the snow is light and fluffy so that should help with the power outages
was 70 here yesterday and nice.. I feel for you guys
I don't mind much! especially on the weekends when the kids don't have to miss school :) in fact, I'm hoping we get all those two feet so we can build a fort
it's 11 degrees here right now...
(looks at Penquis' bunny slippers)
they actually have raccoons on them... ;o)
ha
16 here, feels like 1 with the wind. Brr
oh.. I've stayed in a hotel near boston harbor and with the wind coming off the ocean it's the coldest I've ever been
I had so many bulky coats on I looked like a ninja turtle
hahaha
lol....
yeah, it can get really really cold off the water. I think I read that Boston is technically windier than Chicago, and the wind funnels between the skyscrapers. It's brutal!
Yeah.. I think it is the wind that is the culprit
I've been in Winnepeg when it's 37 below zero and Boston felt worse
the wind just takes your breath away....
i lived up north for years....once had 40 below.....open the door and the hairs in your nostrils immediately freeze....that was cold!
wow
oh brrr
I don't like being cold but I hate being hot way more
we can get down to the low twenties here but that's about it
now i live on the coast....lots more wind, but much warmer....
I love the Maine Coast.. so incredibly gorgeous
me too, it's beautiful up there
pen I lived up in Canada's North. It was so cold the laundry on the clothesline snapped into pieces
spent heavenly days on Hogg Island ..
i like it... ;o) ... I am actually about an eighth of a mile away as the crow flies....hence the breezes....
wow saanich
wow, saani!....now that's cold!....can't even imagine someone putting out clothes to dry!....
my mother learned fast after that
freeze dried clothes!
people up there like stiff sheets :D
I just deleted my response to that ru...
:D ha
never been to Hogg Island....
hey all, was sorting laundry and not really here
carla!....nice to see you back....
hi hokes
we saw you on linen
stuck at 12 left
51 here....
lol ru.. hi hokie
zero here.. I got stuck at 11 for a while hokes
congrats ru!
I have found this one fairly easy up until now
down to 13, need to finish. Seems I've forgotten to finish in the past so I don't want to leave it undone.. congrats ru
it was an easy grid except for the last ten hidden ones
14 left for me
I'm going to assume those are my missing ones
the r on the bottom is bugging me
I need one of those, aloy
i am just moseying along.....watching tennis ....
oh.. you need the weirdo re7/8 aloy
there is a pair I looked up after reading about it in the chat
yep, that one
nadal is taking the open pen.. for sure
ty ru, glad its a weirdo
i think you are right, ru....
oh, I already heard who won. this is why I never really get into aus open
i don't watch the news... ;o)
he is so incredible as a player.. such drive and stamina
i am actually watching the women's final....
the announcers make fun of Rafa's quirks....they don't seem to know that he is a diagnosable obsessive compulsive person....
me either, but mr. homie told me who won
I will never ever forget that match with Roger and Nadal at Wimbledon that went for hours and hours I couldn't not watch the whole thing
re7/8 is a weird word...
well i watch the news, just not in the last two days of a tennis grand slam since i often see the matches a bit after they have been played....
it's one of those vacation spots where your room is an airplane
yes, ru....a classic match!
I am watching Schmigadoon right now
I think that was the greatest match in the history of tennis
at least in my lifetime
agreed, ru....
I wonder if Une could handle an OCD person like Nadal... I'd bet anything she'd be willing to try :D
there are some effective treatments for OCD...
oh please someone get them for my ex
FW! have a good day everyone, stay warm and dry if applicable :)
hi all
bye mael
bye mael.. stay warm
bye mael...
hi jm
All I know about tennis outside of the Williams I learned in Babbleland.
interesting...
I really miss not being able to play
hi jmc
why can't you play ru?
i wrecked my knees by playing too much
ACK! Considering I woke up to the news that Union Station in DC is covered in swastikas I am not liking this grids very much
i have had tendonitis issues in my arm, so i have to pace myself....
oh jeezus..I hate hearing stuff like that jm
new knees not an options? slower game? ping pong?
Oh, no, JE.
me too. sick in my stomach.
i'm really good at Ping Pong but I don't have a table
tx to Lickety and A2Z, fw.. that r7 was a newbie for me, turns out to be a type of engine.. will be thinking of you all in the storm's path. Stay safe! Poofing off ..
for a while (I haven't looked recently) you could find tables at bars like with pool tables
Bye Aloy
whoo hoo snuffy!
oh, hi Scrabbs and jmc.. didn't see you two while looking for that engine.. a hi, bye.. (-:
np snuffy glad you got FW
20 years of tennis and being overweight and pounding on Concrete will do that to you
try pickleball, ru
I think of you as slim. . . you weren't overweight when I rode in your car
pickleball!
I'd probably think that playing pickleball was gherkin off too much
how do you play pickleball?
it's no big dill
groan, definitely a groan
don't be sour about things ru
Pickleball is a riot and great workout.
I'm the same... but thank you .. I am built like a football player
I love it..
that is not my memory and growing up in Texas I know me some football players
can be hard on the knees, i would think....lots of twisting....unless you are one of those people who hop around all the time while playing...
have you been playing with your vertigo, aloy? I haven't played since xmas day.
you are just being a dill ru
you need to can it
yes, hokie.. and confess I have fallen a couple of times
I guess if you play pickle ball it's like your bread and butter in some ways
jm, pickleball is like tennis and ping pong. hard paddles, ball like a wiffle ball, smaller court.
great sport
sound nice hokie. . . I was always terrible at tennis and golf the two sports that may have advanced my career! hahaha
in tennis I was always batting it out of the court. . . .completely
doubles is mostly played at the net (but outside the "kitchen"), so not a lot of running, hence people with knee problems, etc, playing.
in golf I had a slice not to be believed
I was actually a pretty solid tennis player
I do not doubt it ry
*ru
I was too at one point
had to reschedule my tennis lesson because of the blizzard....didn't want to be shoveling the same day as the lesson....
good idea pen.. too hard on the back
good choice pen
and the arm....
we had about 1/2" of snow this morning
expecting 12 to 18 inches here...not quite as bad as the Boston area...
we maybe had a inch but it was spread out over time so the sidewalk is clear. Yay, living on the north side of the street pays off again!
gotta get ready for my Saturday hike.. have fun everyone and stay warm on the East Coast
have a good one, ru
bye ru...
have a nice hike
well I must go off and do payroll taxes and other such fun things.
106 left hagd
bye, jm....
Bye JE
66 left and I have found enough. On to a jigsaw puzzle.
morning all, top row grey!
second row grey!
hi hursh....
12 left here....
the central S is putting my all-conquering wave to the test
i have one missing from that S....
2 for me
found my last S....you were an inspiration!
:D
You guys are amazing! Till need 63 here!
:o)
i am still missing a four!
it's called playing for a very very long time
still have 4/12 4's left
i did a four attack a little while ago....paid off....
I did a couple of hours ago and it didn't
found my last four....still 10 left....
is there an LE word or are they all Li ?
mine are all LI....
but i have one missing...
All LIs
maybe we are missing the same word :)
perhaps...
ojee
li7.28 is probably your missing word.
My hardest to find was LI7/28. Looks like a plural. A rhetorics word.
yes, that'll be it
thanks folks
fourth row grey!
i need a break....bbl to find the last ten....bye all....
i'm down to 2 R and 2 S, and they are 3 7s and an 8 :D
R7/8 are made up words
your two r's are the 7 and 8
I looked them up
They end with another word for airplane
I guess Li7 is my missing L
I don't know, Carla. I think an aviation engineer might disagree with you.
well it is a portmanteau from what I read
so, made up
everything had to be made up at some point
let's call this "grass"
or whatever
anyway, thanks, got them
I'm off for the day. bye
bye bea
New Babble drinking game. Take a shot every time Carla uses the word portmanteu.
dictionary.com doesn't even believe enable on those R words
morning all
good morning all - found the re 7 (ty for the clue) but the 8 has me stumped
there are 2 re7. the re8 is a plural of the 2nd one
so it is not a plural of the aviation one?
it is a plural of the one that ends with the aviation word, yes
I don't see how that is possible
two routes to make the aviation ending
yes - see that now - ty
now to find the other re 7
np tricky and a silly word
and the li 7 - haven't found it either
the li7 is my missing L also
found it
clue please?
li 7/28 li + carries
ty dan - new one for me
firewords! thanks lickety and Bea and all cluers
grats dan - down to 15 and will be consulting lickety soon

A concluding passage played at a faster tempo.

Hi TO 9 left, I seem to save the biggies til the end
i found this one went very quickly for the most part

I have 2 TEs left and 4 REs taking another break
i need 15. i went out once to shovel the fringes after neighbor cleared driveway. it's windy now and COLD tonight, very clear
just tyring to figure things out whilst i catch the news and weather
cold here in Nashville.... flurries yesterday, temps in 40s tomorrow
good grief just got an easy RE
supposed to go down to 10 tonight. i really hate winter

i am going to finish then look up flights to FL
2 left just got the 7 8 re combo
good going
does it add re to an existing word?
no
want a different clue
not yet. i may regret this...
omg looking at footage of MA
My youngest girlie is traveling to Nashville early next month. I must remind her to pack her thermal underwear
even FL is cold tonight.
Soodle, school was out for a week last February. Snow on top of ice.
i hve a friend who moved to nashville from miami. wonder how she's feeling now
Holy Moly. My daughter regards Nashville as her ‘spiritual home’. She’s been there many times during Summer months. I’m not sure she’ll be expecting extreme cold. Thanks for the heads up Sophie
oh my
woo hoo Fireworks!
yay!
Well done Sophie. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Could I have a clue for li7 please?
LI + little bags to carry stuff
li7 = li + drags around ****bag* full of stuff

I wish i could get all my books to you to sell. So so so many go to trash. I am a realtor and i clean out houses with hundreds of books no one wants.
So sad.
re7 and 8 = re + southern cooking is **ul food + really fast aircraft
mkg, likely what you are tossing are mostly worthless, but it would be great to have a dealer come in a look them over first, and pick out the gems, if any
Got them. Ty. Ty. I am done for the day. Great clues gwen.
Off to plan scrabble and watch a movie.
mkg, are you in detroit area?

Here in SA some clever person has started an online site for the sale of 2nd hand books which operates like any buy online site - choose the books you want, pay for the books and a delivery charge and voila books for less than half the price of new.
I assume they make a profit because of lot of the books would have been donated to them - good way to get rid of unwanted books
