31 left. think I'm going to leave it for now and list later
goodnight all
not seeing one of the qu 8's nor the 7 -- maybe tomorrow. Goodnight everyone :)
cooee.... anyone here??
Hi rose!
hey m9. can you please put me out of my misery. i cannot for the life of me see the an 7/36.
ohh.. I don't have.. but give me a mo
it's a gerund
you've got to be kidding me...
got it
Hi freep!
I regret to say... no. I am not.
Looks like freep already clued :)
hi!
for heavens sake. some one hand me the fish. don't bother opening the can.
*slap!*
it's a rather odd looking word, I must say. Fish or not.
thanx freep and thanx m9 for trying to help. bless you both.
how are you both? not gloating, but i have still not had the dreaded covid.
you're welcome. And I had not til October, but then had it. (And it was fine. And I'm vaxxed, which I assume helped). Otherwise, I am well
I had a very mild case way back.. but nothing since.
quadruple vaxxed here. apparently the variant from your neck of the woods has made it to our shores. highly contagious, but mild if you have been vaxxed properly.
But life swims along. I was recently diagnosed ADHD inattentive, and it's put a lot of my life in perspective! :)
Ah, yes. I can imagine it does.
oh m9. but you now have answers which makes it easier to bear.
my old pain doc retired at the beginning of last December. i am seeing a new pain doc tomorrow. he has supposedly been trained by my old doc.
I hope that goes well for you!
Oh, I hope he's a good fit for you. Retiring medical folk is a bit nerve-racking
Oh.. ha ha.. I had a hard time with the I in the final column.. and I'm a tax preparer! Share your fish with me??
lol... m9, hope you like salmon...
freep. it's scary getting to my age when your medical professionals start to retire.
I love salmnn... and works with my eating plan ;)
I can imagine it is. Losing connection and the knowledge.... Not fun. Particularly on something so critical. So I really hope it goes well!
i'll let you know tomorrow. the danger is that a pre-judgement is made and that can be difficult to overcome.
Pre-judgement by you or by the doc?
good question. i will probably be hypersensitive. and he will be very cautious.
Ah. Well if you liked the retiring one and this one was trained by... hopefully that's a good thing!
YEah, that combination has worked for me in the past. I hope it does for you, too
I should probably call it a night. I hope the appointment goes well. And here's to Babble fish slapping being the worst part of any of our days!
time for me to go. have a good day/eve. catch you tomorrow.
I've decided to start my own business(es) and it's kind of scary ;)
Night to both of you!
m9. email me and please share. xx
Will do. Take care!
Oh. that is exciting.
anybody have the Y?
ah well. 83 for later. have a fun day!
hello all
hi aslindy
Hi aslindy and cat
hi Scrabs,how are you.
Tired. I woke up at 4:30 instead of my alarm at 7. Shoulder pain. MRI is in 2 days.
oh that'miserable' hope it's fixed soon
I don't want surgery but I want to be pain-free. I will know so4.
fingers crossed
I have had 3 months of physiotherapy and no improvement. :-(
I pray the MRI helps you find a better treatment plan, then
Thanks. I am mentally prepared to have surgery.
if you do have surgery, I hope you have someone to help afterward. my husband needed help with even getting dressed for a while
11 Q words?????
Cousin, sister, and neighbor. I want to return to work ASAP.
I have 3, Rob.
Man, i am not seeing them
11 is the qu8 of Q words, yes.
thanks!
phantom quince
who knew the root word of qu8 was a word? Not me.
Yes, I see quince now.
there are 3 q 8s
ugh, monday morning and so sleepy...
thank goodness for babble
Hi hurshy. Babble makes us sharp.
my tea helps too
but it's still just a bit too hot
what's your favorite kind of tea?
idk if i have one favorite, but i like fruity ones. but in the morning, i always just start with regular black tea.
then in the afternoon i might have pomegranate, peach, or mango
I am going to buy hibiscus tea today.
i only like hibiscus when it is blended with other things... it's too strong and tart for me all by itself
never had hibiscus tea, hmm
lately I've had a lot of black tea with lemon and honey to help with this cough
when i have a cold i like to have Vitamin C Shine, but i also just got a Blackberry Citrus with Zinc to try
why isn't noogie a word?
You're right.
wow, i have no idea what the Ys can e
be
or mosh
I need to go. Enjoy the day.
Total weirdos, Hursh
clues?
If you were born in 1960, that is the year of your....
ty!
They are Scot words
thanks molly
idk why i feel so much worse this morning than usual
ah but i just achieved a new level of peri-ness
i saw the word WHILE i was typing my request and thus averted actually asking it
I think she does that, but hits ENTER anyway. That is the only way to explain the one second between ask and NM
lol
clue for tr8?
The tr4 + the 4 letter ending for what is in gasoline. Rated 87, 92, etc
it's like migraine meds + e
could have sworn I tried that, guess not. thanks!
(that clue probably only works for migraine sufferers and medical personnel)
Okay, well my clue is for those who do not know their migraine med 😊
very familiar with those meds
guess that covers all the bases then lol
Ah, the Celtic tree alphabet. Finally some obscure words that I DO know
??
The og words
oh cool. i had those but i didn't know what they were. i need the other two Os from there still
phantom: co4tose
what's the 9?
ma9
ok thanks
also the th5, if we're talking old english
got it!
I got the 9 first thing, but I started with the M this morning. That was satisfying
:)
what, is noogie not a word??
That reminds me of my childhood
Oh Todd!
I only have one 8 so far
I have 3. All q's
oh i have 2 q and the tr cause it was asked about
my Qs are "amount" and "a person who practices a particular form of mysticism"
can you tell me which of yours i do not have?
phantom: mongoose
different suffix to the silence
hmm, i already tried -ish and -ise and even -ity
BOY am i a DOOF
thanks
a folie à deux should be a comania
Imagine if Hurshy and DCSeain had a conversation. Would you understand any of it? 😊
i'm pretty sure we have had conversations
i think they may have been pretty ordinary
I am pretty sure I would understand theirconversation
good morning all. help with ma9 . I have ma7
nm
:-)
hello all...
hi pen
hi aeb....
howdy folks
I do not have HOET or even NBT because I can't find a singl O on the 4th row
i was just trying to find an O....
I played last night and found the bottom row O and half of everything else
pen!
carla!....nice...i have 77 to find and all the Os...
what pigs say during sex og5
74 here
ugh, now picturing porky pig saying some og5 word
b-b-b-b-b-that's good
ty, ru...
oh, also just realized I don't have any Y
morning, all
and only 5 q's, so I guess I'm really nowhere near HOET and I don't like this grid.
'course, i had to type in yoshi
welki!
I tried yoshi as well
hi welki...
suffering from eg8 as I found it.. hi all
yi rhymes with the planet we're on
(at least some of us) :D
hi aloy....
I'm pretty sure we have had those Celtic alphabet words before.
ty, ru....
got the y, thx
What is wrong with you people? Not fluent in Scot words?
hmm, just found 2 eg6, are they related to the 8?
well "naeing" doesn't count
we should be by now as scot seems to be the predominant language here
sorta, yes hokie
nae I canna get it to work, hurshy
that seems off kilter to me
No one gives a hoot, man
lol, g1 ru
g1?
good one
I seriously give up on ever understanding all these abbreviations.
just found gi8. I'm definitely not suffering from that.
are you a shorty, hokie?
how was your anniversary dinner out hokes
I was 5' 3.75" at my tallest
delish, ruru.
Are you shrinking?
I think maybe a little.
my mom has shrunk at least 3 inches
I'm shrinking a bit
in height
lolol ..
had to clarify that before molly jumped all over it
I call foul on that. If age makes us shrink, it should also make us shed pounds.
I totally agree on that
well it does, when you get close enough to the end of life that you no longer want to eat much
Instead, our metabolisms slow down and it makes losing weight even more difficult.
Mr. Magoo in the grid
Hurshy, always one with a cheery thought
Ah Magoo, you've done it again
That should get everyone go4
hope so !
if they don't already have it..
I have a go4 but no idea
have 3 go4's
Hi all. Any clues for the 9 or 8s welcome. Ty
With stats please. Ty.
phantom: smooch

don't forget molly's fave, th5/16
got it, actually remembered it
looked it up, and it is an alt. sp of the word before it.. now I'll look up the meaning..a man holding land by military service in Anglo-Saxon England.. but of course!
don't forgot it had the word scot or scotland there too
*forget
Macbeth... ;o)
well i am heading out....still 55 to find, but at least I found my Os....bbl....bye all....
anyone else try hoity and toity?
wow, still o-less. but 51 left. bye, pen!
bye penquis, have a great day!
My favorite?
finished here.. everyone have fun with the grid.. it's kind of a fun one today
I've seen you complain about it before
O-less sounds like a personal problem
wtg, ru.. enjoy your day!
it is NOT kind of a fun one, ruru. I might stop and not look again today. but congrats.
I agree. I don't get it when anyone calls these grids fun.
this grid isn't nice or fun. I keep going away and coming back just to get it over with.
well, "fun" time is over for now.. have to scoot. till next time, poof.
maybe sinatra would sing "Grid, Be a Lady" about this grid
ok I am trying to put a word in and its saying cant do that but it is there it would be a 9 change last letter
weird it says there is only the one 9 just think its funny not funny you know
any clues for the en6?
you're a living, breathing en6/24
and Cheryl, I have a feeling your 9 uses the same square twice (the first and last, perhaps?)
awww ty just!
yeah just realized that
thank you
Yw. And I"m not saying I didn't enter that 9 more than once. :-)
It's always amazing when you come back to the grid and the grid blindness leaves and you see, for example, all your missing C words that are all common but you couldn't see AT ALL before.
I still have 124 left and 8 are c's thank you for there being hope lol
only a couple of those C's were new to me.. keep plugging :)
got two C's left yeah some of them are like why did I not see that
african language
morning all
well, my blindness is still here
moo!
good afternoon
hey hokes, down to 182 to go here
nice
50 left here
10-19-10-5-6
81-57-23-8-8-1
but it's not a fun grid, no matter what ruru says
and I don't believe freep that the c's are common
well, first past done...60 to go 20-16-12-5-7
anyone know what we are against for the an8?
only have one 8 so far sorry, and it's not that one
I didn't know we were against anything. will look.
5OFOET
not me, I don't even have HOET
50 from each tile?
I don't either...one tile missing on HOET
5 or fewer of each tile
jeepers
you could say WPT < 5 for that also
or rather <=
more things to type then ;)
the average would be less than five, so depending on whether you're referring to the average, or each one individually...
Every tile is 5 or fewer remaining :)
olaf from frozen is antiheat
right, but what i'm saying is "Words Per Tile" could refer to any given tile, or to the average of all the tiles
ah yes
so if you have some tiles with five and all the others are 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, the average is obv less than 5
mmm this new blackberry citrus tea is YUMMY
yes, I have just under 3 WPT
2 15/16 to be precise :)
if only all my students were that comfortable with fractions...
I can go either way
2.75 now
still 50
46
AHA
air pollution is what we are against
still 5OFOET tho
ooh, found a word! grayed a tile!
found three words...didn't grey a tile tho
ah, grayed another tile, thx hursh
still have no o's on the 4th row

there's an og4 and 5 pair, and then there's an alt sp of the same words (i'm assuming) that are a 5 and 6

oh, didn't have the alt
30 to go
2.5 WPT
ok, grayed the 4O, thx.
well, might take a break
don't feel bad about missing any of those
I need to eat lunch so I can go on a bike ride later.

I am confused by the below chat.
Apologies for coming in and out. But i still need clues for the 9 and any 8s. Ty
OS please
os is a benign tumor
finally got the an 8
against pollution is closest I can clue it
the other 8 I have is qu8 65 the amount of something
That is how it was clued earlier
the pollution is a great portmanteau
You can go get in on the Hurshy/DC Seain conversation now Carls
Sorry, Carla
no prob, molls
Hurshy: Can you elucidate? DC Seain: Only if you give me the penultimate reason. Carla: Great portmanteau!
THANKS molly, got it

good afternoon everyone
hi nan
70 left bbl
3 8s left
so I fat fingered a th 5 word I never heard of before or seen

there are 2 spellings of a th5 scottish word. one might be english.
I only have 4 7s nan, and 5 8s
I'm the other way round...5x7 and 4x8
mooo
still 35 left here. but I have only been looking at the C in vain
hey hoke, made it back :)
I never made it on a bike ride. ate lunch, walked winston. I did ride my bike to the wellness center to get my recently strung tennis racquet though.
the c is one of the few I've been able to close out
ooh, found one word
I don't know what it is about the c. I keep hearing they're common but I still have 6 and have looked everywhere.
are there CG or CN words? haven't looked at that.
oh, there's 2 space ones
I reckon that is a regular word
do you have the brooch(es)?
ah, no. and thanks

wonder what my 2 q's are
yeah, there's an odd pair
mooncan - alternative packaging for moon pies
I have one normal q and one weird one -- which is part of the pair?
there's a scottish sounding one that is a pair
or did you mean a combo rather than a pair of 8's?
combo
I thought he meant combo like a sing/pl
and they're not 8s
that would be the combo I was referring to hoke
so if they are not 8's what are they?
6/7 combo
hmm, do not have any qu6 or 7 so I reckon that's them
anthome - where ants live
I believe that's called an anthill
let's not make a mountain out of a molehill
finally got the right letters for the q, thanks
top row gray!
very nice, still looking for two A's there
and I know what my missing E is but not what it is if you know what I mean
left row grey
left column that is
still need one T for that

then I'm probably missing a different one
noogie still doesn't work

I was more wondering if pro* was a word

As in an8 device
I'm a little too quick to go to MoreWords sometimes - as for ma7 (the first one)
yeah, I get annoyed when I do that. I only have one ma7, the fruits
The other one is a color
aw, geez
I didn't even have to look. this grid is imprinted on my brain. 🤣
Good evening.
Hi nef
Gently working my way back into playing Babble again. I like the grid “so far.â€
It's got some tricky ones - and a lot of 8's
I have 2 7’s & 2 8’s already but haven’t found the 9 yet.
the 9 is easy if you think about alt sp
Thanks for the hint, hokie,
ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
Well, I'm done - last word en6. As I suspected, not really a hard one - I was just looking the wrong way.
Any hints wanted?
I’ve really just started the grid, so too early for me yet.
OK - good night all
oh, thanks. just stepped away. congrats.
Good night!
think I will list for my last 17
carla are you here?
Hi TO
well hi, nef, how are you>
Still kicking. It’s been a long time. How are you doing?
back now, hey TO.
Did you get your last 17 yet, hokie?
Hey Nef! It's been a while.
having to look up the last 5. can't find them with the list.
Hi ori! How are you?
Doing OK.
How’s your weather?
Very wet and windy lately. How about yours?
well, I am finished and must fold towels. you all have a lovely evening.
Cold -around 10 degrees (f) today- &2
i don't see myself finishing this one. too many empty bozes.
We have around 18†of snow on the ground.
I finally got all 3 O’s!
I am glad it doesn't snow here.
I’m glad we don’t have earthquakes & oceans here!
Ha!
I think we both ended up in places where we each prefer the environment we like then.
Well, the winters are OK. But summer is unbearable here. Most days are over 100. I will hopefully be moving to Northern Washington sometime.
Really, Ori? You may move Up North (but not out of the US?) I would hate your summer temps, but we do get temps up into the 90’s at time but it doesn’t stay that hot that long.
i have gone babble blind....*head desk*
Need help, TO? I’m rusty & not done yet, but I have a bunch of weird words
thanks, nef. let me give it one more once over.
I have the 9 if that would help
maybe os 7? had a bit of a rough day, so want to finish and be done.
:) And you asked a nurse! It’s a bone tumor! ( Just go along the bottom 2 rows
oh heck
ty
that m just disappears.
i am feeling punky but do not want to fall asleep too early, lest i wake up too early.'
I know. I still have 12 of them to find.
do you want help?
No, I’m notgoing to finish, I’m just trying to get back in to Babbling again & trying to work my brain. But thanks for the offer!
okay. i hope you are doing well.
i am going now. good night.
Good Night
Good thing we have Lickety’s list. I definitely need it to finish.
40 left yet. But I’m tired & can’t even find a stupid ti 4/4, so guess it’s about time to quit for tonight.
