1:17 am

Really, really p**d off here! Somebody using Android, as far as I can tell, must have hacked into my FB account last night and now I'm locked out of my own account. FB help is no bloody help at all! It won't even let me change my password. If I have to make a new account I will lose 15 years' worth of photos and posts, not to mention have to re-contact all my friends. It's also the main way I keep in touch with friends and family each day. GRRR!

1:19 am

I don't use FB on my phone and don't have an Android phone anyway, so I know it wasn't me!

1:20 am

Can't even find out how to contact a real person who works for FB to sort it out.

1:22 am

If any Babble friends who are friends with me on FB see this, can you please look at my page and see what's going on there and if it still looks like me?

1:23 am

Don't try to PM me, as my messenger is on FB. Email, if you know my email.

1:23 am

Or tell me on here.

1:23 am

Oh, I'm so angry!

1:45 am

*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!*~*~*~* Anger has obviously spurred me on! I mean WHY would anyone want to hack an FB account that mostly talks about cats, dogs, foxes and hedgehogs, gardening, baking and knitting? I have made a few 'rude; remarks about a certain mad president recently. Maybe that's it?

1:48 am

fe5/18(second one).....clue please

1:55 am

nvm

2:17 am

I just logged into the Twitter account I opened years ago and never used and tweeted that my FB acount had been hacked and then got asked for verification on that site. Is this a Russian cyber attack on social media accounts?

2:18 am

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but, these days, who knows?

3:09 am

I guess we're not friends on FB, but the newest thing I can see is where you changed your profile pic on Mar 7 to a drawing that looks like it was done with crayons? If you did that yourself, then at least that's ok. I had to go to the Babble FB page and look under files to find your "real" or Facebook name there, wasn't totally positive what it was, though it turned out I was right.

3:11 am

If the worst happens, your friends there should be able to snag up all your pics and send them to you in emails, but that sure does sound like a lot of work. hopefully it will work out, good luck!

Morning all. Does anyone have stats for the lone Y in the bottom row, please?

Ooh, gerunds aplenty!

5:14 am

yes, indeed, quite a few. :)

5:15 am

in fact, the en 9 is one as well.

Good morning

5:16 am

Thank you for that, it gave me a few words.

Teflon not a word

5:20 am

nope a proper name

May I have a bit of a clue for the ye6/24 please? I'm just not seeing it (the hammering and drilling next door isn't helping, I suspect!)

its like a shortened gerund, Matty

uses double vowels

Thank you! I had a friend in primary school with that name ;)

thats a first!

I believe she was originally from Taiwan

Thought the en 9 might have a plural 10, but no

6:59 am

not seeing the ye 6 word. any further clues? ty

7:05 am

finALLY GOT THE YE 6.

7:05 am

ty for clues

7:09 am

any clues for the i word fifth column? ty

Gerund - I'm just lazing around, doing nothing, hanging around, watching the world. Or a car does this when the engine is on but going nowhere

7:11 am

it's a i6 gerund

7:11 am

Another good one off to the big show. Actor William Hurt passed at age 72.

7:38 am

hello all

7:43 am

hi lindy!

7:43 am

how's it going?

8:22 am

watching the live address of zelenskyy -- he is very inspirational

8:22 am

phantom: dinghy

8:27 am

a lot of it is not a phantom, though I'm sure the meaning is different.

8:28 am

meaning very different

8:28 am

guess your dinghy could be di5, haha.

8:28 am

that's why i decided it was ok to say

8:29 am

Etymology Matters!

8:29 am

whatever floats your boat hurshy!

8:29 am

Of course it contains di4 but no one seems to care about that anymore

8:30 am

one would care if it were actually the same root. that is why Etymology Matters!

8:30 am

Some people care.

8:31 am

i refuse to believe that anyone is robbed of the chance to find di4 on their own because i posted that. it's way too obvious a word for you not to have already seen

8:31 am

I agree, hurshy.

I have one Y from the top Y - the yi4/7 - may I have stats for either of the others, please?

8:38 am

it's what you do at a yellow traffic light

8:38 am

yi5/16

8:38 am

or when entering the motorway

8:38 am

yi4, 5, 6

Ah, thank you

Twisty!

el 7/40, pls

8:39 am

stats for the bottom Y? anyone?

8:39 am

el7 is when you are smushing two sounds together when saying words

8:39 am

ye6/24

8:40 am

ye6.24

8:40 am

el7 uses the gerund

8:40 am

Babble says "smushing is not in the dictionary" 😊

8:40 am

ty hurshy

8:41 am

:O

8:43 am

hmmm on both the ye and the el, will work on it later

8:44 am

ye6 vaguely reminds me of Prince Humperdinck's security guy, it just has one letter changed

8:46 am

I keep thinking Russian prez Boris.

8:46 am

That is a Princess Bride reference for those of you who are wondering who Prince Humperdink is

8:47 am

Give us the gate key. I have no gate key. Fezzik, tear his arms off. Oh, you mean THIS gate key.

8:48 am

Yoo hoo, Ru. We are talking about your favorite movie again.

8:49 am

Ours too

am I blind, says "felting" does not exist in the puzzle

8:50 am

yes but you probably mean it, bichon. molly is kidding about ruru - he famously refuses to watch it, having a mistaken idea that it is a chick flick

8:50 am

felting doesn't, you can't make "ting"

8:50 am

feltiing is in the grid

8:50 am

but not felting

it keeps rejecting me saying no

8:51 am

for the reasons we just cited

8:51 am

You can't get to the ng without going to two II

ok I see it now, an extra i is in the way

8:54 am

I don’t know why I get castigated for disliking Princesse Bride. Oh well…

8:54 am

the only other movie (back when) that affected me anything like the Princess Bride was Young Frankenstein - it was a similar type of humor, you know, in a way.

8:54 am

disliking is not the same as refusing to watch in the first place

8:55 am

Though YF was far more "out there"

8:55 am

LOVE Young Frankenstein!!

8:55 am

anyway i don't think there was any actual castigation there, i merely said that one would be "mistaken" to call it a chick flick and molly was just teasing you

8:56 am

I tried to watch it hursh. It was dumb and boring and far too hammy for me

8:56 am

if you'd like i could castigate you for it tho

8:57 am

phantom: legion

8:57 am

me, too, (loved YF, I mean). I think my group of college buddies went to see it a half dozen times or so. It was our cult fave, haha.

8:58 am

Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman were great!

8:59 am

madeline kahn also great in Clue

also great in blazing saddles

9:00 am

Wordle today is to take a lot of people to six tries.

9:01 am

"Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you..." bwahaha!!

guess I should go get started then

9:01 am

oho, i finally found something that uses -ish as an ending meaning somewhat

9:03 am

Well t;s not relish

9:03 am

its

9:03 am

well that wouldn't mean "somewhat rel" anyway...

9:05 am

phantom: feelings... nothing more than feelings

I just found Wordle Unlimited, just what I needed another addiction

9:06 am

i couldn't get addicted to wordle, it isn't fun for more than 5 mins

well, I have 1 guess left and at least 2 options, probably more

4 options, odds are getting worse

9:08 am

i wish i could give you a hint but then anyone who saw it would have it ruint

9:08 am

Do you need the first and last letter?

9:08 am

and as it is only one word, not one out of 233, that seems bad

morewords has a Wordle solver ;)

9:10 am

I had all the correct letters except the first at three. Took me to six to get it.

I don't want a hint, but thanks

and just saw another, so 5 optionsw

9:10 am

morewords has Morewordle, I've been doing the 5 and 6 letter ones, but not tried the 7's yet. There's a solver for the 5's, too

9:11 am

matty - i don't think that would help, it can probably only suggest possibilities, no? it can't know which of the possibilities is right

Well, have a look - you can put in all the letters you've already tried as well

9:11 am

I found the somewhat word.

9:12 am

^5

9:12 am

yeah, sometimes it doesn't help to have all but the first letter, too many choices. I just always try to pick the most common one and hope for the best.

OK, picked one and it was wrong, but one letter off. It also wasn't even in my 5 options.

9:13 am

ha

9:13 am

but the morewordle solver does seem to work, as long as you check off the right colors for the letters.

I mean the answer wasn't in what I thought was left

I read an article somewhere about the best starting word for Wordle. The general consensus was that AROSE is ideal. So I use it every time, with mixed success

9:14 am

It was a tough one.

9:14 am

i got today's in 3, go figure

(haven't yet found the 'somewhat word)

9:15 am

i have a so funny clue! i hope someone asks for one for the word for which i have it

why do I insist on typing in intel every time?

9:16 am

because you used to work for the CIA

because words like awol and info are accepted

9:16 am

just guessing

I do it too

I guess, but no one's supposed to know that, hurshy

this game is not starting out well either. haven't got half on a single tile.

How many letters is the 'somewhat' word, please?

9:17 am

I did intel too...more than once.

9:17 am

six

phantoms for me are single and shindig

and singlet

9:18 am

I love a good shindig.

me too :-)

shindig reminds me of firefly

how about a shingid?

firefly the tv show?

Yes, me too! I think it was even the name of an episode

9:19 am

I agree with Hurshy about Wordle. I guess that is why I don't understand why people are constantly talking about it.

I need to have another rewatching

I literally always try atmo when it's here

yeah it was an episode. they also made reference to it on castle

9:20 am

anyone have the 9?

didn't he dress up as mal on castle?

9:20 am

No 0 here

9:20 am

9

yeah for a halloween episode

I do - en9/90 - a gerund

I only have 23 words, that includes 1 6 and nothing higher

9:21 am

oh the irony!!!

9:21 am

ty matty

I feel like I've tried every possible combination for the 'somewhat' word with six letters. Clearly, though, I haven't.

9:22 am

The 9 must have a six?

yes

9:23 am

yes

It does indeed

9:23 am

the 9 is super easy

And the en is a prefix - once you spot it, you'll get a whole slew of words off the back of it

not if you're still asleep

9:23 am

lol

phantom tidy

I'm guessing it would be too easy if someone told me what the 'somewhat' word starts with....?

9:25 am

Got it. Thanks.

9:25 am

o

9:25 am

matty, you're not ***, but you have a grandchild, so you might be ******

9:25 am

tile

9:25 am

damn it

lol

Awww, again, I missed the obvious one trying all the nonsense words. Thanks!

just found a firefly word

Sarah is technically due today (though we know it could be anytime between now and 2 weeks from now)

9:26 am

How is she feeling?

9:26 am

she's having a lot of kids isn't she?

hokie, i like that one too

aw. as someone who went 15 days over, I hope it's sooner for her.

Just the two! She feels big and tired, apparently

9:27 am

I'm sure she does.

9:28 am

you get to see them soon don't you Matty?

9:28 am

anyone else finding the upper N really hard

no, because I'm still on the really hard top row

9:28 am

i mean i got three of them but then stuck

9:28 am

no.. it is done for me

I fly out on the 13th

9:28 am

I went two weeks over and had an 11 pound baby 😊

9:28 am

It has a couple of weird words

I was 10 days late and was induced

ugh, at least my 2 week over was only 8 lbs 7 oz.

Sarah was 7lb 9oz

9:30 am

I had little babes. Only about six pounds.

9:30 am

My kids were 9, 10 and 11 pounds. I never felt the need to add ounces to their birth weight.

9:30 am

i was over 10 pounds

9:30 am

One of our daughters had 9 and 10 pounders.

9:31 am

sounds like fishing bea :D

my 2nd one was only 5 days late but over 9lbs. both were induced.

9:31 am

I am back after several days away while my sister visited. I missed Babble.

welcome back, scrabs

9:32 am

hey scrabs! was it a good visit?

9:32 am

Two of my three were induced. Pitocin is nasty stuff.

9:33 am

We hiked a lot, played Scrabble, and worked on jigsaw puzzles. And laughed our asses off.

9:34 am

Always restorative to have a visit like that.

laughing is good!

9:35 am

Back for the 72 later.

9:35 am

Yes, and then back to reality and work yesterday. I am off today as I work Fri-Sat-Sun.

9:36 am

for 8s i have st and si, anyone have others?

no

I only have the st

9:40 am

we almost have fl5st5 (Fred and Wilma) but you'd have to reuse the T

i have the to 8, but i monkeyed to get the weird chemical term

9:40 am

argh, i can't decide which is worse, chemicals or random species of trees

birds, too

9:41 am

8's...li, si, st, te, to

9:42 am

ty molly

9:44 am

hi all, how is everyone?

9:45 am

good morning mael.. ok here

9:45 am

maybe with your timing matty you'll get to enjoy both grand kids.. that's fantastic

9:46 am

last night i watched the first episode of "Murder in Provence" and one of the main characters said something about how it's weird that life can be really appalling and pretty ok all on the same day. that's how i generally feel

Oh, certainly! I'm not going for a month - Sarah won't be THAT late. I'll be there for Matilda's birthday as well

I think you forgot foreign currencies, hurshy

also very annoying, hokie

9:47 am

that's great matty! I went 10 days late with my first and it was bad enough

9:48 am

So true, hurshy. I just listened to Zelensky's plea to the US. Such emotion and focus on humanity. Too much to comprehend.

9:49 am

I think Russia thought this would all be over by now

neony - a bright colored flower

9:50 am

Yes, the Ukrainian people are inspiring.

9:54 am

Indeed, Scrabs....

ooh, found an 8

9:55 am

did they catch that camel une?

9:57 am

2 of them.....and fyi they were in West TN :-)

9:57 am

two camels wow

9:58 am

from a petting zoo right?

phantom: singlet shingle singleton and deli

classic californian, thinking the state is tiny 🤣

9:58 am

Late start today.. good to see everyone: hi all

9:58 am

That's what I thought but then I saw something about a farm....whatever!

hey aloy

the camel killed two people

9:59 am

they got humped to death

9:59 am

yeah i was wondering how? trampled?

10:00 am

on spit on you for that joke, ru

10:00 am

my friend was in a band called heavy petting zoo

10:00 am

*I spit

10:00 am

scrolled back.. wish I had heard Zelenski's address, will have to google it later

10:00 am

Sorry.....yes, petting zoo

10:01 am

Aloy, it was excellent!!

10:01 am

Humped to death, what a way to go

10:01 am

you spit on me ? hokes?

10:01 am

Aloy, have facial tissues with you. You will cry. His communication skills are impressive.

10:01 am

<--- in my dreams

10:01 am

ok, Scrabbs.. will do

10:01 am

I thought we were doing camel puns

10:02 am

oh.. sorry i didn'

10:02 am

i didn't get that one good one hokes

10:06 am

She spits in your general direction

10:16 am

is "neet" still sold ?

10:16 am

is that like nair?

10:17 am

oh, right hokie

10:17 am

Now it's Veet

10:17 am

wasn't it just a different brand of hair remover? I am not sure

10:18 am

never used hair removers

10:18 am

Rub on, scrape off...might as well just shave

10:19 am

except for razors

10:19 am

neet is also now an acronym standing for "not employed, in education or training"

10:19 am

yeah, neet is often used in japan

10:19 am

God, there really is an acronym for everything

10:20 am

Or AAFE

10:20 am

interesting hurshy

10:20 am

oh, it is veet now (and since 2002)

10:20 am

Thank you Carla for verifying that I was correct.

10:21 am

never know what you'll learn on Babble (-:

10:21 am

well, you didn't provide any further info so I looked it up

10:22 am

I didn't realize we needed the date the name changed.

10:22 am

wasn't sure if you were making a joke of some kind

10:23 am

but if you want to be nasty about it, go ahead

10:23 am

speaking of change, who's excited about potentially not having to switch the time ever again?

10:23 am

that would be nice, mael

10:23 am

believe it when I see it mael..

10:23 am

totally agree about dst

10:24 am

It needs to happen.

10:24 am

all because of golf courses and candy companies

10:24 am

but I agree with aloy - I'll believe it when I see it

10:24 am

candy companies?

10:25 am

candy companies like dst because more kids will trick or treat at halloween

10:25 am

which is why it always changes back after then

10:25 am

they were the ones who paid for DST to become a reality in the first place

10:25 am

wow.. i have never heard that one

10:26 am

along with golf courses

10:26 am

the golf courses someone mentioned yesterday

10:26 am

I'm not sure about that. it just got extended to first weekend in Nov sometime in the 2000s, so before that it ended first weekend in Oct.

10:27 am

because it was originally golf courses who lobbied for it

10:27 am

and then candy companies jumped on later

10:28 am

so the senate passed it unanimously, which i think is a good sign

10:28 am

That is interesting. We always waited until it got dark to trick or treat.

10:28 am

however, it would not kick in until fall 2023, if it passes, because i guess airlines said they would need time to prepare, idk why

10:29 am

so we will still be falling back and springing forward at least one more time each

10:29 am

same with me, molly

10:29 am

but it probably depends on the neighborhood you're in

10:29 am

it always screws me up mentally DST

10:29 am

and how well lit the streets are

10:30 am

per wiki, it was extended in 2005 due to candy companies, but it's literally been around since the early 1900s

10:31 am

ruru, it screws me up as well. I am exhausted the entire summer. did I mention I didn't go to sleep last night until after 4am?

10:31 am

holy cow hokie

10:32 am

full moons tend to keep me up all night

10:32 am

I gotta try to remember to take something tonight

10:32 am

what is the moon right now?

10:32 am

almost full

10:33 am

pretty sure was my problem was drinking a mini can of coke for supper

10:33 am

a mini can!

10:33 am

Full moons do that to a lot of people. Makes some grouchy too.

10:33 am

that'll do it hokes

10:34 am

i can't have caffein after midday any longer

10:34 am

I remember reading about positive ions in the atmosphere and how the concentration changes during moon phases... correlated with crime and birth rates.. interesting stuff

10:35 am

it's ridiculous. when I was in college many years ago I would drink Jolt cola (all the sugar, twice the caffeine) and it wouldn't make a dent in me staying awake.

10:35 am

watch out for chocolate desserts too..

10:35 am

welcome to old age changes hokes :D

10:36 am

I know 😭😭😭

10:36 am

👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻

10:37 am

And coffee ice cream

10:37 am

81 left after 1st pass and nowhere near HOET. still have 10 tiles that are less than half.

10:39 am

while I like coffee and ice cream, not sure I would ever get coffee ice cream.

10:40 am

10 left here.. still trying to find more s's

10:40 am

it is yummy hokie if you get a good brand that is creamy

10:40 am

I need 5 + 6 S's

10:41 am

aloy, I picked us going all the way in the tournament 😜

10:41 am

are you going to watch?

10:42 am

I hope so hokie.. we don't have cable . I clipped the schedule. The women's team is doing great too.

10:42 am

exciting !

10:43 am

yeah, I think we have a really good player that got injured in the ACC tourney. hopefully she will be back but I really don't know any details.

also, Jamocha milkshakes at Arbys--gained 5 lbs one summer

10:43 am

ooh, never tried one donna

10:43 am

oh my

10:44 am

luckily we never ever go to Arby's

10:45 am

My boss's sister-in-law coaches the VCU women's basketball team so I am all up on the women's tournament.

10:47 am

found an s word that ends in first person singular.. si6.18 if you need it

10:49 am

10:49 am

hagd ru.. ciao

10:50 am

11:26 am

right corner e is stumping me.. only have one from there

11:26 am

me too, aloy. I assumed the EN9 had to be from there but I never found it.

11:27 am

the 9 is from there

11:27 am

me too

11:27 am

ooh.. hi Bea, ty, will hunt some more

11:27 am

found it, yay

11:27 am

Think of what you do with the laundry when it is dry

11:28 am

needed the nudge

11:28 am

en9 has a prefix and the suffix du jour

11:28 am

I'm also assuming the 6 is from there too but haven't found it

11:28 am

that did it, thx, molly

11:28 am

en 6, 9, 7 from the corner

11:28 am

1:19 pm

30 to go

1:20 pm

wow, you're burning through this grid fast!

1:29 pm

had to go get some food

1:32 pm

Some people like to let us know how fast they can solve these grids.

yes, ru lets us know sometimes too how fast he gets it

61 left here. I like to let y'all know how slow I can be and how I can drag it out all day.

2:06 pm

Some people like to share their opinion on others...can only speculate on their motivations

2:07 pm

hey hoke

moo! so true. 60 left now. I'm really flying

2:07 pm

2:52 pm

when you conceal something, you hidify it

2:53 pm

24 to go

2:53 pm

they've all been 4s tho

and nilify should be an alt version of nullify

2:53 pm

right, although it could be to set things to values of zero, rather to remove their effect

2:54 pm

floods often silitfy the surrounding area

2:54 pm

it basically leaves the ground with a silten appearance

2:55 pm

ooh, found three words...21 to go

I'm doing a methodical search for 4's and have only found one

2:57 pm

and now it's 20...some longer words in that last batch

well, just finished the right D with a set of 3 regular words

2:57 pm

tearing it up...19 to go

35

have you finished the top N because I swear I've tried everything

2:58 pm

yeah

and nigel is just a name!

2:59 pm

just missing an R and an E down there

2:59 pm

I can guess it's a 4

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

I can guess two of the ones you're missing off that N

ok, please do

phantom next

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

I didn't think one could plural the te7 and yet

apparently I'm super slow today and I guess need the stats

3:03 pm

ni6/27 and plural, hokie

I'm sure I'll feel the same when I find the te's, mael

ah yes, we have those all the time. usually clued as rhyming with a little person, but whatevs, moo. 😜

phantom infantile

3:06 pm

stats for the Y? am I just blind today?

upper or lower?

3:07 pm

oh sorry, lower

3:07 pm

I got the top 3

the lower is an odd ye6

3:07 pm

yes thought about going that route...but you know me, don't want to give it away

3:07 pm

thanks!

is the te7 a gerund, mael? trying to think what an unexpected pl would be.

3:08 pm

no

ty hokie, got the weird ye

ok, will change my tack(?) then

3:09 pm

yeah, I'd change tack

3:09 pm

maybe a nice bridle...

rein it in there, mister

3:09 pm

perhaps with flowers

now just need 1 R to finish bottom row

3:12 pm

Yeah, still have an R and an E down there

3:13 pm

three of the Es are related and one is a 4 :)

3:13 pm

can't help with the Rs, they've been giving me trouble today

well, if you have the 9 and relateds you are missing a babblet

3:13 pm

ah yes, the 4

3:29 pm

well I know you have all but one of the letters :)

3:29 pm

you told me a much earlier

no idea.

I am hitting a wall right now sleep-wise

3:30 pm

well I am trying to be a little obtuse of course

3:30 pm

and I suspect it's because you're thinking about the first letter

which T are they from?

3:30 pm

did I say that?

3:30 pm

oh...the bottom t on the right

aha, thx

3:31 pm

ty, mool....

3:31 pm

yw

3:31 pm

hopefully that wasn't too obvious

3:31 pm

15 to go

you can be obvious te7 and I wouldn't care

3:32 pm

heh

3:33 pm

haven't completed any rows or columns yet

me either. need 4 s's to finish a col and a row at the same time

3:34 pm

yeah, I need one there

3:34 pm

to do the same

found 2 upper s's!

now just need 1 S there

just found a weird one but it is mythology so you prob have it

3:54 pm

heading out for a bit...bbl to finish...bye all....

bye pen!

3-7-4-1-3

4:16 pm

make that one left

4:16 pm

12 to go

I am not el5 enough to get these

4:17 pm

I didn't know you had to be e5

oh yeah, only the most el5 players can find the words

4:18 pm

had to look up the meaning :)

4:18 pm

not sure what gathering military intel has to do with finding words ;)

of el5? I think we might be talking about different words

4:19 pm

I know what word you're using...just chose to look at another one that also works

is this an obtuse clue for me?

4:20 pm

sure, if you wish to use it that way

4:20 pm

3-3-3-2-1

which way, obtusely or as a clue?

4:20 pm

That's pretty balanced I think

4:20 pm

works both ways

found them.

4:23 pm

never thought to look up the meanings previously

me either

4:23 pm

11 to go

3-6-3-1-3

4:25 pm

neolite so sounds like a word

yes, shocked it's not some geography thing

4:26 pm

or geology either

lol, that's what I meant but I'm so sleepy

and I'm watching TV

4:27 pm

s'ok, I wondered if you might have, but didn't want to assume

4:27 pm

going to go play trivia tonight, been a while

ooh, that sounds fun

4:28 pm

yeah, the local breweries around here do it...this will be the fourth brewery, and 5th place overall we've tried

is it electronic or person asking and you handwriting answers?

4:29 pm

the latter

yeah, that's the usual for breweries I think

4:29 pm

We do pretty well in everything except music...not up to date on our rap and crap

that reminds me, I need to check today's heardle

4:31 pm

Not enthused that it's a wednesday, but fewer choices still

I'm not really good at the music ones either. I know songs by hearing them but can't remember names/bands and don't really know a lot of random music facts.

oh, is today wednesday?

4:32 pm

apparently

4:32 pm

There's four of us, and we do pretty well, though hard to compete with teams that have 10 or 12

4:33 pm

The first place we played, used to limit teams to 6

yeah, but maybe they are 10 or 12 less full of trivial knowledge than you 4

4:34 pm

It doesn't really matter anyway...it's just fun to do

yep

4:35 pm

Almost 21.30 pm here. I’m seldom here this late & I certainly won’t be on Babble this time tomorrow, unless y dinner plans go pear-shaped. So, just wishing everybody a very happy St Patrick’s Day. ☘️ Lá Fhéile Phadraig maith agaibh go léir.

Thank you, you too!

my maiden name is definitely Irish 😁☘️

4:38 pm

Happy St Patrick's Day Soods

4:38 pm

I'm 1/16th irish or something like that

4:38 pm

my surname though is Cornish

well, my dna tests say I'm much more scottish, but name is irish. but lots of scottish names in the tree.

4:39 pm

och aye

also a lot more english than I realized

4:40 pm

Lol!! This time of year, lots of people are Irish. My DNA says I’m 100% Irish, which really pleased me. 😊

4:40 pm

I have no DNA, I'm just computer code

well, you have DNA

unless you're telling us you're actually a bot

which explains a lot of your word knowledge

4:41 pm

yep, I'm actually AI

4:41 pm

I'm 98.7 Scots-Irish, but not sure how much of each. Tons of both Scots and Irish names in the tree.

4:41 pm

I cruise the internets looking for word games

soodle, my surname has a DNA project and the appalachian people with it (which is me) are linked to a place called Rostollus I think.

4:42 pm

There’s a great website with the results of the 1911 & other censuses. (Censi?). Www.CSO.ie.

4:48 pm

I’m done Carla. Can I help?

my people have been here since 1700s so that doesn't help

not even sure what I need but thank you

4:49 pm

Story of my life. 😕

4:50 pm

legoid - a creature with the form or shape of a leg

tengod - the official deity of bowling

4:55 pm

toelid - colloquial name for a toenail

4:57 pm

teelite - an illuminated mount for your golf ball

texy - attractive while living in texas

5:01 pm

interesting concept

I guess it could be tennessee too

5:02 pm

I guess so

5:02 pm

I have not lived in either of those states...just for the record, though I have visited both multiple times

I haven't been to TX since 1976

but I was born in TN and have been there a LOT. not sure I was ever texy though.

5:19 pm

hello all actually clumped around in this boot and got some stuff done today..... Carla, I used to live in the NW corner of TN....moved to Nashville area last summer. I have 57 words left. May not finish. :)

5:20 pm

Trying to think when I was last in Texas...probably 2019

oh yeah, sophie? what town?

5:21 pm

Have to go back further for TN, maybe in the 2016 range

I think I last went in Jan.

oh, nm. I'm from the NE corner. 🤣

5:25 pm

Sexy legs

5:25 pm

wow, fluked wordle in two today

I failed today

5:27 pm

Got lucky with wordle today, an early guess was close

had 2, 4, & 5 letters and one guess left. I thought there were 5 options but I wasn't even seeing the answer as one, so obvi, I picked the wrong word

have not done dordle yet

5:28 pm

just completed dordle

went to list. have had at least 3 words that I typed this morning.

yes, the disappearing words...

today was certainly more challenging than yesterday.

5:30 pm

not sure I'll bother with the last 6

have 5 I can't find with the list

agreed, TO. though maybe I thought yesterday was hard too.

that's so interesting...i thinkit's how one's brain is wired.

yeah, a lot of times I am opposite others here when it comes to difficulty. but I really don't know if i'm thinking of yesterday or the day before.

5:36 pm

half my remaining words are 6's...and I have a 7 and an 8..so that' demotivating

i must go... the news is on and it only took 5 mintues for me to call someone an a hole... perhaps those who remember hiding under their desks have a somewhat differing perspective...

5:36 pm

oh, nm...found the 8

day before yesterday was herder

5:37 pm

Can I have a clue for the 9 please

5:38 pm

perhaps broadly, the action of hugging someone?

gerund of 6/30

5:38 pm

4, 8 with a prefix and suffix

and tie to go, i have not yet listed and not ready to

or putting chocolate chips into batter

bye TO

5:39 pm

En 9, got it, thank you

5:39 pm

SGNTL

so you got the TO7/8? I know the 3rd (and 4th) letter but can't find.

5:40 pm

the to8, yes

I think G was the 2nd tile I grayed this morning, so you are missing an easy one.

5:43 pm

well, 3 of my remaining 5 are 6s

5:43 pm

and it's not gefilte :)

nope. only one G6. like a G6, like a G6.

well, the N is a 6 new to me

but you prob know it

5:46 pm

perhaps

5:46 pm

not fond of 6s

me either

looked up my last L - that's crap

5:48 pm

heh

5:49 pm

well, I'm packing up...got to get ready

good luck. I hope y'all win. trying to find the left dordle now.

5:51 pm

Working on R S T words 33 left

good luck, sophie

5:56 pm

thanks, I'll need it

6:20 pm

greetings from lovely idaho!

Hello to Welki in Idaho

6:22 pm

Down to 13. All Ss from top right.

6:51 pm

You are in Idaho, welki? On vacation?

6:51 pm

Go Sophie, go!

6:56 pm

hi scrabbs! yes, on the way to visit my aunt in california for her 84th birthday!

6:57 pm

Enjoy! I have a med school friend in Twin Falls.

6:58 pm

thanks - we've not been away in a long, long time.

6:59 pm

Like in 2+ years, right?

7:00 pm

You are wise to drive and not fly.

7:05 pm

oh, we've not traveled in nearly 8 years, and that was to see the kids for thanksgiving. and yeah, you won't see me on a plane for a while, a long while

7:06 pm

I know that you are very cautious. This is a good time to travel, before BA.2 surges.

7:07 pm

6 years

7:08 pm

well, you wouldn't even know covid exists here - and the looks i got in the grocery store were not welcoming ones. was either the mask or they could sense i was an out of towner :)

7:08 pm

Same for me when I shop.

7:10 pm

have a good night, scrabs - things to do before we settle in for the night

7:10 pm

I have thought about having KN95 masks made with this on the front: Be afraid, very afraid.

7:10 pm

Sleep well. Safe travels.

8:14 pm

Fireworks. Anyone need a quick clue?

9:37 pm

en9? please

9:41 pm

the act of wrapping up, godthaab

9:42 pm

or maybe surrounding is better

9:43 pm

Thank you!!!!

10:18 pm

Instead of the traditional bacon & cabbage fare for St Patricks Day (which I have always detested), this year I’m serving Chicken Kiev (Kyiv) to 9 (10 including me) guests. A
