they are both normal
al7 & 8
just need the noncitrusy 7 now
oh - lol - z's done
Babblet - iz 4
st7 x 3

night, nan
ingest
oopsie, dunno what happened there
I've tried all of them, too :-)
Well, an N is keeping me from getting halfway on all the tiles, but I think I'm going to leave it for now
74 to go
nnnnice job
ty :)
an li7 and I think it's time for me to stop, too
well a ce 8 is like a caterer in a monastery
17 Z words???? Oh my!
player, not as bad as one thinks - a lot of Babblets
another big grid - Detroit area code big!
and plural gerunds!
Ooh, tornado warning West of here - storms moving in
313!
Hi, Scrabs - where ya been?
Endorsing checks for deposit.
First morning task is making salads for the bunnies.
bunny salad is good, as are check deposits
Is the tornado coming your way?
the system is sweeping in - gonna catch it on my phone in about 30 minutes (?)
What do you do if there is a tornado warning?
record it until its time to duck into the closet I guess
Ha. I watched a tornado video on Twitter last night. Amazing.
Well at least you have a plan, IG! ;)
Hi, Champ
Hi Champ.
Stay safe...bbl.
3 tornado warnings about 30 miles west of here moving in at 40mph - gonna be fun!
great grid, btw
I am enjoying the grid and started using the -ing.
ne5/14....clue please
I will look.
looks like a girls name - use the sometimes vowel
What IG said.
tyvm
need to get my butt outside and secure a few things
Be careful.
thx
148 left and I must get ready for work.
hi6 - what??
amazing - all these Ns and Es, and not a hawaiian goose to be found

whoopsie
oh no, no nene
17 Zs???
morning all
mmm, I found a german christmas-time bread
morning babbler friends!
omg, have just read sukee's comment on 17 z's. I definitely don't know that many words
morning, kiani and saanich, and anyone lurking
carla!
hey all!
that bread is delish, hokie
pen! mael!
hi mael...
I can't even get half on the first tile today.
my mom used to make it some when I was younger. no, she's not german.
my brother's family lived in Germany for five years....my sister-in-law loves stollen.....but it's hard to find a good one here in Maine....
there's a lot of european sweets that I miss
I used to go to the southern christmas show in charlotte every year, and I'm pretty sure there was a vendor there who sold it.
Williams Sonoma sells a good Dresden Stollen. It's pricey though.
17 Z's! Must be a record
my friend goes on about their gluten free pound cake but the mix is like $20
i have 14 Zs....hard to believe that there are three more...
I've only got 5 so I've got a long way to go
wow, I did a prelim z search and found 6
well, now I have 9
almost all that i have are ordinary, at least for Babble....
I'm sad that zine is still not a word
I always try it
I tried it too
ntpn - banking app you can pay people with
or zens
Don't forget the Polish currency
yes, different ending...
I thought the first two zo words were weird.
well i don't have all the Zs....
Morning all....halfway! :-)
zolla!
hi Une...
hey une
zest
I have ( zs, never mind all the zs
9, not (
have 12 now. just found a ZO pair that while odd, aren't unusual here, at least the 4. not sure there can be one in front of that though.
i have 15.....must be missing Molly's weird first two....
phantom senior
thanks carla, didn't have the 5 to go with that 4. Have 12 now too
np
and thanks to molly for making me look
i have all the z's.. they're normal especially if you're part polish
lol, I guess that's why they're not normal for me
hah....
just remembered the zl
the two Molly referenced are common in Babbleland
are they Za words?
There is only one za word
she said zo. I found a set I think is what she was talking about.
no, zo4 and 5
I have one
up to 15
i have one as well....
got the other....
oh, I think bea and I misunderstood your question
or maybe I'm just confused all around
only 1 zl
ok, got the za. now just one z left.
i missed the O in Molly's post....
i am missing one Z....
Have all the z's now
zuper, luv. now just guess what pen & I are missing 😜
Pen, do you have both 7's?
thanks for that zl
well, I don't. thx.
ah....no just one...
4 have to do with the lemon
ah, thx luv
you can get 2 if you rearrange the letters in the z that we said we always try
back to the top row
1 has to do with wine and one is a teen age thing
thing
Pen, just for clarity, do you still prefer no clues unless you ask for them?
yes, thanks Molly....
Okay, because I wasn't meaning not to clue, I thought that was your preference.
i do have a question....are both 7s gerunds?...
no
ty, ru....
but they are both forms of the root
someone working at a bank drive thru is tellering. change my mind.
heh
And everyone happily types in the 6
but you were okay with pen typing stollen in earlier, ok.
Who said I'm not okay? I said they happily typed it ih.
My router died and I was without internet for 3 days. I experienced Babble withdrawal.
i bet, ori....the pits....
oh my, ori...welcome back.
hi ori!
internet withdrawal is a thing!
i am in tennis withdrawal....haven't been able to play for a week....
totally
It was TV/movie withdrawal also since I don't have cable and stream everything.
How is your cold, pen?
(missed out on slumberland)
double bummer, ori!....
She saw Slumberland.
pen, I haven't played tennis in two weeks and my elbow still hurts
my cold is still active.....seems a little better....been using Dayquil/Nyquil.....
Must have been before the router died.
Yes, I saw it before the tragic death of the router.
maybe it killed the router
May it rest in peace
still fuzzy headed....and nose blowing....
hope it's not the flu, pen
it's been going around here
yeah, my brother and his family had the flu a couple of weeks ago
People are telling me they have been getting their first cold in two years. I just want them to stay away from me.
feels more like a regular cold.... did covid test twice and both were negative....
Hope you feel better soon, pen.
and no fever at all....
ty, ori....
yeah, you would've had fever with flu
Of course they are getting cold now. They are probably not masking, etc.
our immune systems are playing catchup
i still mask in places like the grocery store and convenience stores....don't know where I picked this up....
I had a bad one in summer '21
my son had RSV and my daughter and husband got flu A. I magically escaped both.
Don't colds transfer by germs on hands? As well as airborne stuff?
also, yes. masks were good just to remember not to touch our faces
but my kids don't mask at school anymore (which is the right choice for us) and so all the germs are coming home to roost, alas
I am a chronic face toucher. Mask or no mask.
me too, I sympathize
I was better with a mask on but now, forget it!
same
(puts on Josh Groban's Your Face for Molly)
At least the HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS signs are gone from the public restrooms. That was a little over the top.
there are so many gerunds that look possible on this grid but aren't
I just saw one the other day, so not completely gone
people still haven't learned how to wash their hands after this, so there's no hope
they all stayed up here in MA, not that the people who needed to read them ever did
They are in the restrooms of the doctor's offices.
things you should have learned in kindergarten
things that I taught my children before kindergarten, yep
but I am a stickler for hand washing
i did not go to kindergarten...
did you predate kindergarten, pen?
Kindergarten was not mandatory until a certain time.
well i went to a Catholic school and it did not offer kindergarten....
my older brother is 58 and there wasn't K at schools then. he went to a church one I think.
it is not mandatory in Maine....
nor MA either
you can go straight to first grade, I think
Nor in CA either.
1976 was the first year of universal kindergarten where i grew up.
i went to kindergarten at 4 my mom couldn't wait to get rid of me
not sure about VA or NC now, but the schools have kindergarten whereas they didn't in the 60s.
Google says it is mandatory in the entire US, weird
my younger brother attended a private preschool before he went to first grade....he was very active....
I would have sent mine earlier if I could too, ru
daycare was a pain in the butt
I'm all for universal pre-K, in fact, never mind kindergarten
i wanted to go to kindergarten -- my parents told me they said they don't let thumbsuckers in so i stopped
both of my kids stayed back a year and did pre-k and I remember the preschool teachers telling me they didn't have to go to K then.
but we could still use the school's speech teacher because he was old enough to go to school.
i was 5.5 when i began kindergarten
both my kids too, they're spring babies
i had speech therapy grades 1-5. I couldnt pronounce ch nor initial K
I'm born in October so they started me before I turned 5
you can't do that in MA, there's a hard cutoff of 5 by August 31
that would have made it hard for you to join the KKK then DC
:D
when/where i grew up, a calendar year of us all started school in July. I was among the eldest in my class.
i think the cutoff here is either Oct. 1 or Oct. 15....
both my boys are Sept. the cutoff was Oct. 10 at that point, but we held them back anyway. the year after the youngest started the cutoff was changed to Aug. 31, so...
good call, carla. i’m a big fan of delaying enrollment as late as possible.
for me seain, it was calendar year, so I had kids in my class with Dec. birthdays.
we had year-round school, hence a July-June school year.
ah
i must off to run errands, i’ll be back later today :)
bye dc...
bye
hi folks
hi welki...
Hi welki
welki!
we've taken up off-roading, one trail ride under the belt, one prescription for a sedative pending :)
haha
in an ATV or your truck pulling your camper?
both, but most recently a side by side
(and truck/camper ride wasn't planned *lol*)
it never is
I wonder what my missing Z is....it's not the Polish currency, I'll tell you that much ;)
do you have the two Z 7 words?
do you have both 7s?
I do not! I have a ze7/48...
the other is 7/56
What are the stats for the other, please?
ZE?
same root
Oh, wait - I think I've found it
7 ze's; 4 zi's; 1 zl; 4 zo's 1 za
Bingo
ze 7/48....
Thank you
Zeds zoomed (or something)
yw...
it's so weird to me that you all have a word for a letter
well, so do you ... Zee
Says the queen of acronyms :D
I know, but where did the d come from?
well, acronyms make things shorter
I didn't say it was wrong or right, just that it's so weird to me
and more confusing
a's, c's, l's, and t's to go
how are there 25 a's?
really....i can only find 13....
To me, the alphabet song is hysterical using zed at the end 😊 Everything ends with the eee sound and then (boom) zed.
I found 9 and moved on
15 so far here
W is a weird one - multisyllabic, where the rest of the letters are monosyllabic
Unless you count LMNOP as one letter, as many people seem to say/sing it ;)
ooh, found a 9
i only have one...
well, must get ready for a bike ride. no HOET thanks to the A. 91 total left.
got all the a's now
cool....
well i finally got down to 100....need a break....bye all....

Go figure!
keep getting this message from gmail, "almost out of storage", but I've gone into it and cleared up lots of stuff.. ugh. Am not paying for additional storage..
aloy...did you reboot gmail?
h'mm, how do you do that, phaeton? I thought it would reboot every time I logged out of it?
you using a computer or your phone?
laptop, phae
hmm...probably have to reboot the laptop. It might need to update. Do you turn off your laptop every night?
thanks for your advice, phae. I have started turning it off each night as my BIL suggested ..
Maybe it just takes time to take effect
yw...sorry I couldn't be more helpful
it's possible that you've deleted things but they are held in a "deletion queue" for a certain amount of time (probably 30 days), after which they will be deleted from the server and the space will be freed up again.
hope so Klani, ty !
might be able to delete it from that deletion queue manually - haven't checked in a while so can't recall where to find it
pretty sure that notification is for your entire account, so including photos and docs and such as well, if you have lots of things - might be the cause?
well, I'm not in a hurry unless my email is cut off; am at 83% capacity according to gMail
used the feature "Manage Storage"..
i have that same with icloud storage and i don't want to pay for more storage either
This may help: https://support.google.com/mail/ answ\ner/6374270?hl=en-GB
I don't work for google but I do work in IT and my guess is there are things being archived or not actually deleted yet from the server that are contributing
:)
ty mael: copied
love it that Babblers are so knowledgeable and helpful! (-:
Do a search for has:attachment larger:10M - you can change that last number for whatever file size you like - it'll show notes too, if you use them. Very useful
okie doke, will probably be amazed. Too many people send me videos to download about all kinds of cute and crazy stuff!
break time, bbl .. ty for the "tech" help that enable doesn't recognize, lol !
hey all
I'm back after a crappy morning at work
hi mael, sorry about your morning! pox upon whoever caused you problems.
hackers, actually! so yes, a pox on them :)
now I'm on hold with jet blue so I can't say my day has improved much haha
going on a fun trip I hope?

I love dark chocolate and Aldis has dark chocolate buuter cookies that are yummy but they were out of them today. :( so I bought dark chocolate covered blueberries. OMG they are addicting. The label says serving size is 9 pieces. I ate at least twice that amount
hah!....well it's Christmas time...;o)
but I reasoned that dark chocolate is good for my heart and blueberries are a fruit.
nice thinking!
i have a piece or two of dark chocolate every day...
144 left here will go to list sooner than later today
as long as they are berries inside and not blueberry flavoured gelatin candy!
berries. not flavored gelatin candy yuk

I don't think I know 17 z words
I have 10 so far
most of the z words are surprisingly ordinary.....
darn - there is the garbage truck and I forgot to put it out!
uh oh

that's good...
bbl

yes...is the RE an again word?
yes
ty...
found the RE ... now missing two 8s....
got the a's -- took me awhile to connect the work I know for longer to the al. Looking for the ce.
a friend just sent me this and I figure we are all due a laugh break from this monster:
A gynecologist notices that a new patient is nervous. While putting on the latex gloves, he asks her if she knows how they make latex gloves. The patient says no. The doctor says, "There is a plant in Mexico full of latex that people of various hand sizes dip their hands into and let them dry. She does not crack a smile, but later she laughs. The doctor says, "What's so funny?" She says, "I'm imagining how they make condoms."
hah!
down to two l's but no luck finding them -- must be something weird and wonderful. bbl.
bye...
