Only one s

hi Holie!
hello dolly!
:)
was tr7 x 2 said?
I lost track about 20 min ago
there is a tr8 there as well
two of those tr8s that were called, I believe. Certainly 2 hat exist!
:)
nbt, nbs, ma 9 if not called
wa 8 x 2 if not called
you were gonna get the ma9 one way or the other, eh, rain? :-) Thanks. Now to find it!
also ma 8, the 9 is a plural
I made sure I checked all the letters this time !
re 8 if not called
ee7 x 2
the ma 8 and 9 are derived from French
oh great, I'll never find then
Very similar to English words with similar meanin
think of what we make quilts with Hokie, and change the last vowel
thanks dolly, kept seeing that word as a phantom
:)
re8 x 3
<looks for yurn in the grid>
I found a me8 if it hasn't been called
I think it was, dolly

I need an e from the right
Ditto - E in the right column?
eg5
I need E from left col

Et6
et 5 for the lone e

well, have gone cross eyed having found 271 words, rest for morning, good night all
Actually, I needed two E's, but I've got them now
thx, JM & nan. will look for either et5 or et6
ty carla
ah, a plural. HOET!
I have grayed 6 tiles and 5 of them are E's. unusual for me.
enusual, I think you mean
good point
ea 8 if not yet called
there are at least 2 ea8
Had it, didn't call it
(one of them)
ea 8/40?
Both that I have now are ea8/40
both are
have now grayed all e's in the grid. enusual endeed
maybe they are the eesiest tiles?
today maybe
thtat'
that's a slippery one, freep
I don't have them all grayed, so I saluteeeee you
I should say greyed in honor of the e
not having as much luck with the T's. still need 24 total
The A's are the worst for me tonight

Need 7 T’s
Proportionately, I mean. I do still need 19 T's.

about time!
going for fireworks today, kiani? :)
that would be cool, but I do work today
and been pretty distracted actually - got offered a ... not a promotion exactly, but a different position, and need to figure out if I want to take it
oh interesting!
i wish you well with your decision!
If it isn't a promotion, make sure it's not more work for the same salary.
more like a team transfer from one area to another, but would hopefully come with some different/more interesting projects
name that proper noun! real estate company
rremax
dding dding dding!
I think that is rright
hahahaha!
good morning all. are the ea8 words compound
i only have one, but no, it is not
I found one that is not
just started and only have 2 8s
Neither ea8 is a compound
ty Molly will keep looking
i only have 3 more E to find and i guess one of them is an ea8 then!
the ea8 I have is restaurants

ah thanks peri!

Es Eliminated!!!!
Hs Hacked!
nice!
just running through the words i have is helping me pick up a lot more that i didn't type in
especially past tenses
good call, I just started and I can see how easy it's going to be to miss things
I feel like me4+ea5 is one word
for me it is teaset that i think should be one word
teacup, teapot, teaset!
right??
ok going through my list has got me down to 37! but haven't found that ma9... is it weird?
no. VEry normal
ok
oh good, I'm working on the Ms now and no sign of it yet
ah, i got it. i wouldn't say it's VERY normal. it's just a TEENSY bit off the beaten path
Yeah Hursh, I was thinking the same thing
oh, I misunderstood. I thought bea was saying it was normal not have found it because it wasn't a regular word
Are you wearing your tiara mael?
yep! so very sparkly right now
*Puts on shades to avoid the glare
howdy folks
it was supposed to snow today instead it's rain mixed with sleet
gross
ugh
currently sunny and 41 here, but we had non-stop rain Tues & Wed
Rain, rain, rain here. It's feast or famine in CA.
did you get any flooding or pooling at your place ori?
My patio and driveway are partially flooded. There are a lot of flooded roads here.
I don't understand how these T"s are so hard.
I'm sorry :(
that's okay, it's my fault for not seeing them (I know you were talking to ori 😜). and I'm sorry to hear that too, ori.
the Ts have been kind to me so far, not too bad!
still need 4 + 8 + 6
It's getting old. Two more solid weeks of rain forecast.
*Puts out the hip waders for Origami
it is depressing. one summer years ago we had like 21 days of rain.
Thank you. I need them!
just found a T4 that most animals have 🤦ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸
hah, I didn't have it either...
now just need 1 T at the top to gray the first col
but of course I had the re6 and related
same
first col gray!
yay!
my missing one was a comparative of which I called the superlative at the flip 🙄
there are so many comparatives and superlatives in here that you are forgiven
lol
I just need to go down the list and make sure I've typed both in
thanks. I need to read through the list and look for those.
jinx
I'm still missing two Ts to gray that column
do you have the set that rhymes with you
nm, from another T
t4 and plural? yeah
there is the set of te5 and 6 babblets
oh found one. Just one lest
I have those
isn't a reelist one who belives in fishing?
no pirates in enables, maties should be a word
mateys is
oh right
getting caught up in this -ies -ier -iest disaster of a grid
yep
working on R now, still need 7 + 6
=13
good addition skills
Occasionally I get them right
wow, still 13. didn't find a single new one
oh, there's 2 from the bottom one
is there a weird H?
Hi all, diving in, don't have much time though
hey gwen, may the odds be ever in your favor
Is that the "may the force be with you" of Babble?
I'm missing one H so it might be weird
THE h words are all normal
it's from the hunger games
any guesses, ruru?
feels like I have tried everything
hi6 the past tense
oh there it is, thanks
yes, that's it, thx
not sure that's "normal" per se
<---mind reader
but since the root isn't normal for me...
50 left!
I think it means 'psst'
yeah, I think it said something like that when I looked. never heard it in use.
it must be some local dialect somewhere - I've never heard it used in North America
Ws walloped on a mistype!
wow! still need 5 w's.
working on the S right now. need 8.
my last was a very stupid looking 8
agreed mael
236 to go, bye
I have a wa8 but it doesn't look too stupid to me
bye gwen
is there another?
yes
there are 2 wa 8
ok, thx
thanks for the second wa8
320 on the first pass
Unreal, ruru. I have been here off and on for 4 hours and still need 207.
44 left here
just having troubles with the e's mostly
hi there ru! the e's are all normal
yup.. i have them now and closed out the a's too
I closed all the e's last night, oddly easy
need 2 A's from each
ru, how was the storm last night? How is the stream?
calmer last night.. the stream is really rolling
ori hasn't lost power yet either
lots of areas near her are out of power
We heard from Origami earlier.
oh good.. we chatted on the phone last night I checked in with her
you both were fortunate. The news up here was reporting on the state of emergency and that a gazillion out of power; evacuations, floods etc. Glad you are both OK
thanks.. i have a big generator so I'd be fine for a while anyway
I don't know how y'all keep up with your conditions. We're on fire, we are in drought, we're flooded.
I'm just waiting for the locusts at this point
and pestilence
Frogs would be cool
that'd be toad much
It was a leap
at least we'd know warts happening out here then
I might just hop on out of here and get some things done. though my mom just told me it's old christmas and I'm not supposed to do any chores.
maybe it will happen to california before I croak
keep this up you two
are you of Ukranian background carla?
nope, scots-irish
Ireland calls it Women's Christmas. Old Christmas is a West Virginia thing.
but appalachian hillbilly has a lot of superstitions
Twelfth Night, Epiphany, January 6 has many names.
and a lot of meth hokie
not supposed to sweep out your ashes
ooooohhhhh thank you Molly. I celebrate 12th Night as well
luckily I don't know any methheads
Last year it was Hell Day at The Nation's Capitol.
same mix plus Welsh for me carla
I'm half greek hokie
Molly, what is happening? This Speaker vote?
Phantom sterling
Sorry, two years ago
trump'
OH of course. I conflated the two issues. sorry. Same days.
trump's goodbye party
hope so
I have some welsh, english, and french/german too, saanich, depending on which dna test I look at
but the biggest chunk is english/scottish/irish
which one do you recommend? I was thinking of getting one done
well, I ended up doing both because 23andme showed some african, then surprisingly ancestry did too. ancestry has a much larger database because more people do it, so just depends. I would definitely look for either on sale as they both have sales around holidays.
Thank you for that info carla, much appreciated
do the one that doesn't allow the information to be pulled by authorities.
<---into privacy and not big government
the authorities don't pull from those, they pull from GEDmatch, which people take their DNA and voluntarily upload there.
you mean some of them actually share private info?
yes.. I think 23 and me does
no, they don't.
oh yes they do
ancestry is the safest for privacy
Oh how can you be sure? Just because they say they don't? I'm with Ru, I don't trust those things.
PLACE YOUR BETS HERE FOLKS!
the FBI pulls from 23 and me all the time
I was going for the ancestry one anyway
But then for all you know, LabCorp is sharing the results of your medical tests.
https://www.23andme.com/privacy/
yeah, if you think any data anywhere is safe how do you decide what is and what isn't?
just don't murder anyone hokie and you'll be fine
I pretty much think that we are all hosed when it comes to privacy. Everything is too available now with the advent of the digital highway.
if the FBI is getting stuff specifically from those and not GEDmatch, they are doing it with court orders, they aren't just given free reign
The insurance companies tap into peoples CPAPS (for sleep apnea) and call the people if they haven't used it every night. HAT is a real invasion of privacy. The can cancal your insurance over this.
exactly.. they get a court order. Ancestry doesn't provide anything regardless
molly, my favorite is when I have talked to my BFF on the phone and then have stuff we talked about show up as ads on my computer.
soerrry for all the typos
that's why i dropped out of facebook hokie
Used to be, when we were discussing something specific here, ads for it would show up other places. Now that I have adblock, I don't see the ads.
carla that happened to me too. I turned of siri
I'd DM a friend and then ads for what we were talking about would show up on my Microsoft feed
Doesn't Facebook admit to information sharing?
ancestry's statement says the same thing - I just read it. https://tinyurl.com/5n8uppku - scroll down to Law Enforcement and Other Legal or Regulatory Process
really? I thought they were the safe one. wow
That crap about the CPAP machine really annoys me.
FYI all of the ancestry-type sites are a waste of money
yeah? i kinda agree hursh
if they give you specifics, then you'll notice at the bottom it's like "this has a 50% chance of being right", whereas if you make it give you a better chance of being right, it just tells you like, "you're mostly white"... which, i already knew.
basically they count on people not noticing that
modern-day snake oil salesmen
well, it's definitely estimations, but they're based on statistics of the other people in the database, not just random guesses.
hmm, meateater not a word. also, I have the 9, so why am I trying that?
yeah but they're just not accurate enough to be relied on. it's just not very meaningful.
essentially, it should be labeled "for entertainment purposes only"
meanwhile i am trying to figure out a Bee pangram from CARBONL
i got it!
wtg hursh
I agree with Hurshy on the ancestry stuff.
done for today.. hope you all have a nice day.. see you tomorrow
woohoo, did letterboxed in two!
never heard of letterboxed
good morning/afternoon everyone :)
Seems like Hurshy plays a lot of word games
hi nan
i play word games, and geography ones now, and math ones
hi again .. back to find some more
299 left
def. helps to take a break; am seeing words pop out that I was blind to.
pop pop pop
popping has slowed, lol
Hello everyone!
hi car!
time to take it out of the microwave?
hi car and peri..
if you haven't gone through your own list yet, it helps very much.
hi Aloy
you're right, hurshy
it's a big-grid must-do
patience helps
for the last three minutes I've been trying A words from the A in the first column :/
oh dear
oops !
I'm distracted by this stupid ass game show that is on TV...people are sitting in a big room voting and no one ever wins...
perhaps to turn that off then
Its frightening and fascinating all at the same time.
how many times do they have to vote.
A lot. Until their egos are placated. While the rest of us worry.
can it go on indefinitely or should Mc just concede
oh i see
she means congress
it is not looking good
he won't. And now he has turned some hold outs...by whatever means it took...which is terrifying...he won't stop.
130 left and slowing down
oh.. what a mess
help with me8 please
the "game show" I mean
a more pathetic small amount is me8 than a slightly larger amount
ty hursh
hurshy's clue is better
better than what? lol
I was typing a clue and liked yours better
ahhh
it's a little "on the nose"
afterwards i thought i would rather have said "the cratchits' dinner was even me8 than scrooge expected"
yup .
The first one is more likely to be understood
Ds Demolished!
20 left!!!
rats, I thought teaset was ok but it is two words.. the t's are giving me problemos
i was complaining about that one earlier :)
but i need more S than T
I should learn more meanings, then I would know if a word could be pl. or pt. etc.. monkeys are working away
time to go.. good luck with this biggee everyone!
have a great day!
today is gone, today was fun tomorrow is another one from here to there, from there to here large babble grids will bring good cheer
how big of a majority does one need to be elected speaker?
nan, I ask myself that too
To be elected speaker a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes cast, as opposed to an absolute majority of the full membership of the House – presently 218 votes, in a House of 435.
simple majority...more than half the house votes....i think... lol...
sere
yes, it is dry... ;o)
the republicans (in this case) don't elect a speaker for themselves?
no...it is speaker of the house....can be a non house member, technically....
maybe they need to elect an independent and be done with it. It doesn't sound like this house is going to get anything done anyway
what i fear is that to win, McCarthy will provide too many concessions to the far right congressman that will affect the future work of congress....
your speaker has so much political power I can see why it would be frightening not to have a good leader in that position.
very true...and third in line for the presidency (after the vice president)....
Somebody was thinking out loud that Trump could be Speaker
oh my god.....what an awful thought....
I saw Pence's name mentioned somewhere
I'll say
How is it possible for Trump or Pence to be Speaker?
you don't want a daily temper tantrum consuming the news, pen?
apparently the speaker doesn't have to be a house member....at least that is what i understood...
no, i don't, nan....
I'm at the point where almost anything would be better than another Meghan and Harry tale
amen...
can't close out that top a -- missing 2
i am missing 12 of those...
i do have ar 6/7/8.....
well, my monkeys have been working on that letter for the last 1/2 hour!
yes I have that combo also
do you have the four AE words?....there could be more...i have four....
and ae x4, ai x4
well i do, too....still have four As missing now...
Oh, God save us all from the MeAgain and Harry stuff. I wish the press would drop them.
ar x 12
got two to find then....
oh, i do have 12 of those....
i am now missing two As from that top A as well...
oh....found a four....an AR word...
and its pl....yea....
just found a really stupid de 7
good to know...
was it the ar 4/4 babblet?
oh...i think i have that...
the ar 4 is an ordinary word....latin pl...
me too, but I am still missing two a's
there are 13 AR words....
oh - I found them -- like the mermaid(s)
ah....ok....
ok - enough struggling - going to list now
i still have 98 to go....too early for me to list....
94 here (listed at 96)
going to try to find my fours...
sometimes they are the worst
yes...
coming across a lot of babblets, if that helps
the problem with big grids is that I sometimes assume I have entered a word when I haven't...
thanks for the tip...
yes - finding a few of those too
are the I words odd?
i or L?
I have all the i words
i
which means they are not odd
ok, thanks...
neither are the L's
good to know since i am missing ten Ls.....
they should pick a mime
that would be ironic and entertaining
did you find the pangram hurshy?
I still need 3 Ls
yes nan
hokie, one weird one is le7/28
le 7 sounds like a city in England is pronounced, but not spelled
I have found a couple of weird L's though, so I'm not sure I agree with nan's assessment
exactly the one i was talking about!
ok, didn't have that, but I thought they pronounced it lester
got it, ty...
the le5/14s are weird to me
did you get the less weird li5/14
didn't think of that -- we see one of them on our cartons of skim milk and low fat dairy products all the time
i have the li and one odd le 5....are there two odd le 5 words?
oh...i found the second one....
did not have the li5, and I would say that is a normal word
now one L left
and 1 G to finish 2nd row
cool...
but getting back to work for a bit
well lickety's computer makes the li4, so it is the li6, and each word on it is a li6
g, maybe you need gh4? or gl7/36?
s
Nan, I like your profile picture 😊
ty molly
i am so irritated....some of my i words weren't making it to the list even when it told me that they had been entered....very weird....
This game really needs some work. I see comments like that every day.
I've been having that problem too, pen
of course gh4
er\]
er\]
sorry...
happens to me all the time. I'm sure some will show up when I go to lickety
finding a lot of words I should have found without the list, but I just seem to run out of steam on these big ones.
and thanks, hurshy. got the L
2nd row gray!
i don't have any right column E words...are they weird?
found one at least...
make that two...
Here we go with the Peri thing

*curtsies* yes, your majiesty
I'm just happy because I finally finished the Ss!
this was a good puzzle for two hours of teain time but it is boring.
it's so many of the same words over and over
my problem is that I've forgotten what I've already found this morning, sigh
9 left now
yes. not to mention those words that you entered that disappeared
... and like two of those 9 were ti4 and 5, yikes
which I was sure I had already but no
i do not have any 9s yet. but i only have 250 words. long ones are not do obvious on the phone
I meant two of my last 9 missing words. There's only one nine, it's a ma9
I can't play this game on a screen that small
well it does take one's mind off the womanin the quiet car yelling and curing at her mother on the phone.
People like that annoy the crap out of me
FW!
what a beast
it was funny when she started saying mom? mom? i was snickering.
as if
The grid or the woman yelling at her mother?
congrats mael!

YEAH GRAN!!!!!!!!!
would love clues for the first column forth row E word please. Ty
i think it is et 5...alt spelling of the needle case....
Ty i will see.
It was a plural of an et six. So six and seven.
Oops sorry it was a 5 and 6. Ty. Yes from the e.
it's the same word...
Any clues for the 9? Is it compound?
no...a pl....
Pi 9? Any clues? Ty
Wait there is no p. Ok so plural. Got it.
no P in the grid...
So any clues for the 9?
it's MA 8/9...
TY ANY CLUES FOR MEANING OR ANYTHING ELSE?
you don't have to shout... ;o)
Well i got the ma but dont know this word. Wrong last vowel. Weird. Ty anyway
So one more need: missing the e words for fifth column E. Three words and i have none.
they are all from the same eg 5....
it means to discharge from the body....
Ty
yw...
Not getting them yet. Hmmm.
it pretty much goes in a left direction across the board...
Got one of them. Ty
they all have the same first five letters....
Still not half way. That is my goal. So off to look more.
well i am done...heading out...bye all...
Buy
Bye.
