big grid - just found a Texas twister
Good morning, IG. TY for the clue.
Hi, Scrab
I was away for a few days and missed Babble.
glad your back
I took a Wilderness First Aid course. It was interesting.
snake bites and such?
Yes, and wounds, fractures, hypothermia, etc.
you are invited to my next expedition
You have more venomous snakes and also scorpions, etc.
only outdoor plan is yardwork - any hikes planned there?
I will hike today and the weekend at local parks.
I passed halfway and must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
bye, Scrabs
well zipa dee doo dah. Remember being taken to that film when I was tiny. I expect it would be non-PC nowadays
Hi, Deeha. and what?
It was a song sung by Uncle Remus plus cartoon birds!! Iremember it well!
ah, I see the word (name) now.
must be at least 78 years ago. Nothing wrong with my memory. Hang on--what day is it.......!!
dd
its today
so iy is
bbl good luck folks
Deeha I saw that film when I was very young too. We are both old :)
harum
sorry
just went to local shop and found somebodies credit card on pavement. posted it on FB but no response yet
Notify the credit card company. They can notify the account holder.
Molly is on it!
no sarcasm, good advice
my favorite flowering tree is in the grid today :)
good morning everyone
good idea. phoned local bank , we are experiencing a rush at the moment, if you wish to hold it will be about 40 minutes...............!!
My favorite is blooming now. I have a pink sasanqua camillia.
lovely
my landscaper friend just gave me 3 huge gardenia bushes because his clients don't want to overwinter them here in MA... I'm a lucky duck
Indeed you are!
oh, I wouldn't wait on hold 40 min., I would take it back to the shop and give it to them.
name that space x-ray observatory in the grid! hah
ke account number when I handed it in-never found one before!! bank said they cant trace customer with out post code.. And here was I thinking banks had computers nowadays!!
I might recognize it when you tell us, mael
name that late TV announcer...
pardo
✅✅✅
dans
oops
Chandra! It was only supposed to last 5 years but it's been going strong since 1999
Ive desperately tried to find an n to go on the back of that bzzz
ok, have not heard of that,
yep, it's not there, deeha, or I probably wouldn't have done the NTPN
but certainly a phantom haunting us
also parse and parsec, at least for me
it's one of the four Great Observatories that NASA sent to space, with Hubble and Compton and Spitzer though the latter two are sadly no longer functional
yep hursh
also armada
i'm having more trouble with S than P though today
the top one, esp
yeah, only found 20 on the upper S but I'm just on 2nd row so haven't looked at the other
i decided to do all the S at once
sometimes i do that
missing three from top s
from what I've done so far I'm declaring this a tough grid
only 3??? wow bea you're good
missing one p
phantom: spandex
hah
the worse one for me is the O today, at least the others are slow going...
top O
ok i've greyed both lower S! still need 6 from the top one tho
I finished the top O on first pass 🤣
oh never mind, there's all those babblets I was missing
haha
I bought some camis and leggings that are like steel belted radials. They are made out of something stronger than spandex.
I've got HOET now at least
supplex maybe?
nice, mael!
I have some very compressive supplex.
but you can also get different compression of spandex depending on the % of spandex mixed with the nylon or poly
*regrets opening this can of worms*
lol
you weren't hoping for a fabric lecture?
I keep seeing parmesan too and it's making me hungry, never mind the spandex haha
I find that stuff fascinating, hokie!
yeah, I tried parm just in case
I've gotten a couple of athletic fabrics called reprieve or something and they have recycled water bottles in them
It's not supplex. They are from shapermint. I've never heard of the material. You have to put the cami on from bottom up.
i was going to guess shapermint! i get ads for that a lot
I didn't realize you could get different compressions when I bought them.
phantom: diorama
it's just nylon 90%/spandex 10% according to their website. I don't see them calling it something anywhere.
well, the cami I just looked at is.
may be like a proprietary name they have for the fabric? do you remember what it was?
97% polyamid and 13% spandex
interesting, not the one I looked at then
but it did say medium compression
also, that's 110%!
This is the one that has the most compression. I really didn't need all that.
87%
according to the googles polyamide is also known as nylon. I guess like a spandex/lycra thing.
4th row grey!
I have just started the 4th row, so it is not gray
oh no, Angela Lansbury died :(
I saw that last night.
Yesterday
almost murder in the grid today
she was a great actress
yep
I will always remember Mame
don't think I have seen that
her first movie was Gaslight from 1944. I recently, like in the last month, discovered that was a movie and where the term we hear all the time now originated.
What role did she have in Gaslight?
Nancy
she would've been 18 or 19 when it was filmed
She was a maid
yes, just saw a pic and was going to say the same. she does look so young! looks like that is streaming on HBO right now.
So nice to see good things about Angela Lansbury today. All I got last night was "well, she was almost 97"
here?
well, 55 left and HOET after first pass.
ugh, now all my ads are shapermint
LOL! sorry
ðŸ˜
good morning friends!
hi Hokie!
Hello, dolly
good to see you Bea
hello dolly!
:) good to see you Hokie, I knew you'd come up for air sooner or later LOL
was doing some other games
having a good week?
guess I can't complain, how about you?
just got from a few days away, all is good!!
ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
how did your visit go in Australia Dolly?
oh, you went to aus dolly?
I did not visit Australia, although I would love to someday!
yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing it but it's so far away
:)
we took a few days and went to the corner where Iowa, Minn, and Wisc meet, foliage isn't at it's peak, but getting there, but along the Mississippi River is very peaceful and a lot to see
nice
walked a couple trails
I took winston on a hike last Fri and saw some nice leaves and scenery, then I got a flat on the way home and spent Mon getting a new tire.
I love watching the tugboats on the river!
bet Winston loved the walk!
yeah, I saw the mississippi for the first time in 2014 when we went cross country RVing. I could not believe how big that is.
he did!
just went to check weather .com and there's a video "Mississippi River looks like creek". what?
not where we were! nice and wide and deep! it's harvest time here, to the tugs were pushing barges of grain
okay, watched the video and it said Tiptonville, TN
Today's wordle was hard.
got it in 4 as usual
ahhh that would explain it
alright, I gotta walk winston during this no rain window. have a good day!
I'm finished here. See you all next time.
tata Bea
Yeah, Wordle took me five today
i never get wordle.. i tried a couple times. just can't do it
Have you read the directions, y-chromo?
yes.. but that doesn't help me all that much
You have to guess the word based on the letters you guess and where you place them in order. Grey means it is not in the word, yellow means it is in the word, green means it is in the word and in the correct place.
wordle took me 4 today
It's like those slide the letters around in the square games we had when we were kids.
5 for me, bummer
I found the ch7/8 myself. help with the other 8 please
di8/55
ty will look
is it a compound word?
Kind of
not dipshade
It is really not a good idea to put guesses in the chat since they might be close to the actual word
But then i forget, blurting is applauded these days
dioramer - certain accent saying diorama
well, I would have no idea it was close if you hadn't said that
so maybe you're the blurter
and I still don't have it so must not be too close
Bless me father for I have sinned. It has been five minutes since my last blurt.
hello all...
+ + + ....
pen!
carla!
hi, babblers
welki!
hi welki...
are you on the road again?
yes, ma'am - probably until the end of the year
I am actually surprised that the overuse of exclamation points is still a thing since it was Trump's claim to fame. I would think people would drop it simple because of that. 😊
*simply
I didn't know it was his claim to fame. where, on twitter?
*Cues up Willy Nelson
Yes, on Twitter
yeah, I don't really do twitter and I certainly don't follow trump on there.
1st col gray!
bottom C gray... ;o)
nice, I still need 2 there
a combo, i am sure...
I have 2 combos, was assuming there is prob a 3rd
I don't understand the appeal of Twitter.
me either...
I hate twitter and I hate how every "news" article these days quotes people on twitter like that is legit source.
i think i have three combos from that C....
i don't see the appeal of twitter....guess i don't care about celebrities or hearing what people are thinking or doing....
I looked at spelling bee sam's the other day to see if anyone was complaining about one of his clues in the mini that day.
did anyone complain?....i don't usually do the mini....
I didn't see any. I did see a tweet from end of sept where he wanted people to post their mini times. I actually got a PR that day with :09 and I think the best I saw posted was :23.
cool...
at my other internet place we usually do the mini and share times each day. just like here I'm usually opposite of the others on how I do.
i like the mini - love the little melody at the end :)
oh, I never have my sound on. sometimes it's on after I play heardle and then when I do the sudoku there it plays one, is it the same sound as the mini?
can you do the mini on line?
yes, the mini is online and it's on the app with the bee and the big crossword.
heh - i turn the sound on just for the mini *lol*
will have to remember that tomorrow!
i don't do the sudoko - ever. my brain does not compute
I like to see how fast I can do the easy sudoku and then I just want to finish the medium and the hard. oddly, I 95% of the time do the hard faster than the medium.
haven't done the sudoku in quite a while...
amen welki
i actually use a sudoku app on my phone when I am in a waiting room or something like that...
Mr. B likes to do the ken ken
never tried that one...
I like ken ken too
I used to do, but lost interest
I kinda forgot about it.
need to find a good website or app. where does mr. bichon play it?
we were looking for potential fishing spots yesterday - looked at a couple of places, but decided to head to someplace called 'blue lakes' - no place to launch on one side of the lake, so we decided to take the road to the other side ...
where are you, welki?...
it was 'one of those roads' that is so narrow and winding that, if another car came the other way (and one did), you have to either back up or wait for them to back up. (we hit the jackpot and were right next to a small cut out in the road so we could pull to the side)
did you have the camper with you?
we're in lakeport, california, pen
yep, we have the trailer
didn't know if you were just exploring without it
we'll stay here until the beginning of november and then head north to trinidad, where it'll be cooler and we can do some flyfishing
i think today is a soup day for lunch
do you make your own soup?
it's been in the 90s here, carla - you wouldn't need to heat it up, just leave it outside for a little while
sometimes I make my own but today I'm just going to heat up some progresso 😜
have to plan ahead
that's my problem...
later, folks - time to get going before it gets too hot out to move
bye, welki....
byeee
(haha - neighbors have asked why we have a/c on when it's 'only' 80 degrees!)
I hate having camper AC on because it's so loud and it gets cold inside, but even I would draw the line at not having it on for 80 degrees
Hokie,
yes?
Here is a sudoku website for you
sudoku.org.uk
thanks, will check it out
go to the competitions sit and enter art the advance portal you can get extremely difficult grids and take plenty of time to complete them I only work the weekly extremes on the site
the LA Times has an Impossible Sudoku that is a lot of times easier than the NYT medium.
I like to make my own soup too, but those of us who lead busy lives do not always have time to make it, so we rely on the best canned version we can.
i always have a can of Progresso Hearty Tomato on hand...
and ramen chicken soup...
I keep some homestyle chicken noodle on the shelf. Mly son calls it "sick soup".
Hi all. Does anyone have a clue and/or stats for the U?
Things you keep cremated remains in
my mother used to make tomato rice soup for us when we were sick...
Or "cremains" as they call them at the funeral home.
it was really an extension of Campbell's tomato soup....she sauteed onions and added rice....
Thnaks Molly. I must really be over tired if I missed that one. Usually the first I look for when faced with a U
There is another ur4 and a ur5. The five sounds like what you do with the pink part of a pencil.
taking a break...bbl to finish...bye all....
found my 2 c's. the root was from the other c, that always throws me.
I am also stuck on the O in the first column, and the 8's

\does anyone on here also play chihuahua word games daily?
not me....
never heard of it
chi.lexigame.com I play this, then jump to that for a while then come back. Just Hokies comment about the dishes made me think of it. I'll do most things to avoid dishes :)

redash

i am missing one S now...
11 total left. I may have to put on my glasses.
hah....12 here...
I am watching Gaslight. It just seems so obvious and is making me mad.
why is it making you mad....
that her husband is treating her that way
ah...
also I am mad that it is on HBO Max and yet I keep getting ads 🤣
i think there are two levels of HBO Max now...
ah
found the di 8...
we had it and quit getting it like a year ago but the youngest decided to get it for game of thrones so I made him share. 😠He probably paid for the cheaper one.
probably....my nephew did that, too...
i am down to DD S E....sixes and sevens...
I still have 4 E's, can't find any of them. also looked up the di8 and some of the s's.
found the di 8 by finding the di 6 first...

i monkeyed it...then i knew the first five letters of the 8....down to 32 now....S and E...
i am done....
me too, looked up the e's
i had a flash of memory for my last E word....ex 6....

Ah, looks like I missed everyone

Oh, I'm sure Carla will be back for the show
I'm sure moo is already finished by now
Hey, not quite...29 to go
happy whatever day it is
yes indeed...I think it's Wednesday
10-5-7-6-1
I had to list at 23 and then had to look up quite a few. I thought today was hard.
yeah, I'm not sure yet...
some confusing tiles left tho
first column grey
well that was kind of an abrupt ending to the movie
oh which movie?
Gaslight
oh, haven't seen it
any good?
kinda obvious, but it was a good old movie
4th column grey
oh and 4th row apparently too
3-5-4-3-1
not long now
how's you wednesday been?
it's rainy here, so kinda blah. how about there?
well went riding this morning, some work calls...went and got a haircut earlier...sun shiny day
decorated the yard for halloween on Sunday
I did a little decorating this weekend too. but I don't think we'll have any trick-or-treaters here.
ah, yeah my house in Philly was like that
we get them here tho
haven't decorated since COVID started, so good to get it going again
I think we're about 15-20 years under the avg age here so no kids.
Hi everyone -- late getting here today :)
ah, you move into a retirement village?
hey nan, how's your day going
not technically, but it's the middle of nowhere
hey nan, I think it's a tough one today
:)
over half my remaining words either are from the top S or the left D
maybe now that people can work from home more readily younger people will move in
yeah, Florida is seeing that now
it's been really busy. Started with a meeting with my new investment advisor then some grocery shopping, getting the turkey soup going and some gardening. To top it all off, my neighbour phoned last night to tell me that that I had left my garage doors open and mentioned that the carwash place in the neighbourhood had a half price sale on, so I took the hint and washed my car :)
subtle :)
at least they didn't call to tell you someone was stealing stuff out of your garage or a serial killer going into it. I thought that's where this story was going.
that went dark quickly
ex6 please
no - I live in a gatedd "retirement village"
true
ex6 - a word that I need (apparently)
ah, but of course
13 to go
not a regular word peri, trying to think how to clue it
audibly sounds like to "make an effort"
I don;t see it in morewords
ever since we moved here there's been a whole thing about the gate closest to us. it was an automatic gate, then they added a speed bump, then they added two arms, because they're terrified people are tailgating in. it's very overkill.
just has an extra letter in it
sounds like they could use sharks with lasers too
now all the service vendors that used to come in that way have to go to the main gate. there is a callbox and they have all these signs posted saying they won't open it for anyone, but I've seen them do it.
sharks with frickin laser beams
exactly
ty moo, got it
dioramu - sounds like a school project to show the many dimensions of Dr Strange
dioramer
that's how I would say it
keep wanting armada
maybe want to talk to the Spanish Kings from the 1600s or so
well, I reckon I'll go start making supper. good luck.
thanks, not going to waste too much time on this one
me neither - going to list
ouch - missed a big bunch of plurals
howdee droogs, diving in
nbt woot
di 8 please?
no 8s here; and only one 7
found a charge card LOL
What you do with potato chips and sour cream & onion mixture + not hearts , diamonds or clubs without the P, plural
ty molly
got both the 8 at last
left column done, woot
ty molly
been away tending to my soup.
What kind of soup are you making Nan?
turkey -- from the Thanksgiving carcass
the house smells heavenly right now and my tummy is grummbling
Ooo, that is a good smell in the house.
turkey soup for supper :)
ce 6/24 please?
ce+ oh ___ I stubbed my toe (mild swear)
ty molly -- that does it for me -- good evening, all - back at the flip :)
woo hoo cybernan !!!! 50 to go, good night and good luck y'all
love starting at the flip -- get al l the 8 and 9 calls from freep and gillie
It used to be that the flip was clues and stats free for the first hour. That was nice for people who like to find words on their own. Then a new group took over.
Now "find them on your own" people need to leave chat turned off.
It's all about majority rules, I guess.
pa7/36(second one)(I already have the animal one)......clue please
nvm
I dunno, Molly. Maybe it comes in waves, but when I started back in... 2008, I think... folks called out what they found at the flip, too. I've never been at a flip where that wasn't true, but did take a few years off that sure coulda been different.
(oh.Since 2006!)
Food choices in the penalty box have also changed over the years, so I suspect culture shifts will occur again....
su5/14....clue please
nvm
Help pleasse need one word for the o first column to go to sleep. Ty. Stat please.
op 4/6
Ty looking
Ty granny. Got two from that. Ty.
