hello all
Hello fellow member of the early risers club
sadly, I've been up 2 hours already. it's just after 6 am here
I'm making bread
ooo what kind?
Oat
yum. I love oat bread.
Ooh! I'm making bread too. Oatmeal walnut.
also yum!
I made coffee!
that's the first step!
yeah, not going to make bread this morning. it's a migraine day. :(
I feel your pain. I get cluster headaches
ugh. I'm so sorry
santo
damn
happens to us all
Isn't it hard to be on the computer with a migraine?
depends on the migraine. there are different kinds. mine aren't really made worse by many things you'd think would make it worse, and the main thing i want is a distraction until my meds kick in. i don't have one right now though, yay!
36 points for remembering your high school poetry lessons!
does tr 7 work?
yes
that's what i was referring to :)
goody!
Thanks for that one.
yw :)
For those who slept through poetry class, the word ends in fast cat ----tah
i'm seeing way too many french words today
phantom: contrast
phantom: chive
ok, this is either another hard, big one (grid, you dirty-minded people) or I need more coffee.
lol, I'm having a hard time with it after getting half way
i think it's alright so far
well, I'll keep drinking coffee. also stuck in wordle right now.
name that proper noun! city with no cars, many footbridges, gondolas, murano glass... or its namesake in CA
venice
ding ding ding!!!
name that cookie
oreo
ding ding! you're 2 for 2
well, if I can't see the actual words at least I can see the proper nouns
lol, did you get wordle yet?
haven't been back. took winston out and fed him and forgot all about wordle.
are you in N.C. hokie?
SC now, but like 20 min from the border of NC, so basically
hubby and I are heading down to the Raleigh area today
ah, my youngest son is there at NC State
bea lives near there
My son just moved to the area in the fall and this will the 1st time we'll be going to see him.
nice! I hope you have a great trip and visit.
thanks, looking forward to it
we rented a house in the fall for a visit. it was in a little sketchy area, but was very close to downtown and campus.
what city is that near?
i
it's Raleigh
90%!
219 left here
oh, well we're renting a VRBO near Raleigh because son is staying with spouse and MIL. Hope it's not in a sketchy area
go hursh!
I think mine was through AirBnB. It was fine. Only thing that happened was a guy knocked on the door at 7am one morning to see if we want the yard mowed! winston went nuts.
not a nice way to start the morning lol
we went to a football game and I was a little worried about leaving winston there by himself but his bark does sound vicious
wow, was about to call ao5 a phantom but typed it anyway. no wonder I couldn't get the upper A
Oooh, big grid.
but not super easy, hey scrabbs
I will do what I can.
phantom receive
i think it's a pretty nice grid.
seems not too hard so far
(tosses hokie in the PB)
I am struggling to get half on each tile
hi, everyone
Hey all! Could I get a clue for the rightmost e
ec4
thanks
and hey, kracken
:D
what an unusual log in name
Great name.
I like it
Thank you, it's my derby name
like, roller derby?
Seattle's NHL team = the Kraken
Yes, like roller derby!
And I didn't know that scrabbler
Kraken is a sea creature.
cool. would have loved that when I was younger.
it's something mythical for the Q people too
A legendary sea monster.
Yep!
it's also the "surname" of latest covid variant ☻
hello
hey monty and TO
hello owl!
and scrabbler, happy year of the rabbit
Yes, XBB.1.5, the current nasty dominant strain.
and gm all !
Hi Owl
phantom enrich
hey luc
bonjour TO
man those Cs are tough...
I'm out for now, good luck everyone!
yep, I found 19 c's and moved on
bye, kracken
bye KS !
Bye KS
21 Cs and moving on...sigh...
just working a spelling bee with tons of c words, easy. these, not so much
following S not much easier...
none of these are easy unless you're ruru or hurshy
and yes, I moved on after 11 S
same here carla
still only have 5 o's, everything else is the bare min for half
i have just started the c and have 27 so far
8 Os but not much higher than 50% on most tiles so far...
and so smug about it 🤣
found an O for HOET. 91 left after first pass.
<--somewhat smug
wd ru !!
oh, I did manage 2 8s and didn't notice
hello all....
well, the Today spelling bee over at spellingbeegame.org is a lovely one today
pen!
carla!
gotta go - bbl starting on that N - have a great day all
bye monty
ps - have 22 c's now
i got 2 8s also hokie - i wonder if they are the same 2
bye carla - hi and bye pen !
i have one....;oD
and i have one of the 9s, ve9. anyone have the other?
bye monty...
I have sn and to, hurshy
yes me too
is your ve9 with another word? I have 2 v's left.
no, the other forms of the word aren't able to be made in this grid. but, i also need one more V, so, maybe we also miss the same V for that one.
i have all the c's now.. one weird c
aHA and i have got that last V now
ooh i still need 3 C
what about the 9s ruru, have you found both?
i have 4 8's no nines
oh well hokie and i have sn8 and to8, what others can you help us with?
:D
phantom tractor
i have a sn9 now
oHO, interesting
thanks, ru
ty, got it!
didn't realize that was a word 🙄
ah yes, Babble's favorite country tune, "I Didn't Know That Was a Word"
definition of the sn9, please?
if your kid is sn9 than mine, he may get more eggs in the easter egg hunt?
if someone is grabbier than others
i guess? lol
what's my missing O, oh what's my missing O, hi-ho the missing O oh what's my missing O
now need 2 v's to finish bottom row and 6 (still) T's for 4th row.
considering I need 6 o's I cannot help.
well my last V was a 6 that is like the city i mentioned earlier but change the penultimate letter
ok, got that one, thx. is the 9 a regular word?I don't know that many big v words.
it is a person who worships or greatly admires
not a daily use word, but not exactly weird either
got it, thx
gotta go for now. 73 left.
bye, carla...
Here we go with the words again. Carla say portmanteau
Babble is a strange setting in which to give people a hard time for having a good vocabulary.
I'm not giving anyone a hard time
i found a to 8 hursh if you don't have that
I would love a clue ruru
more fire from a lit stick with straw to8
Ty. Looking
Got it.
Ty
Any 9s ruru? I dont have any yet.
sn9 ends the same way as the to8
ridiculous word. Thanks!
Super. Ty
I am not seeing it yet.
ve9 one who worships or admires greatly
Ty. Thinking.
Got the ve. Ty
seems like the a's are giving me the most trouble in this grid
Agreed.
Still not seeing the sn 9. Meaning clues welcome.
If you grab an item you sn6 it, e.g. kids on an Easter egg hunt. Now make that word a comparative.
Got the sn. Ty.
Ty ty
Got the 8 too and the six.
The an8 is weird
happy lunar new year!!!!
Year of the Rabbit! My rabbits are so happy.
I passed halfway so I am done. Go Buffalo Bills!

Yay Bills an 49ers!

The clue threw me with the "vowels" part

Im not seeing the st, but I will it eventually

Thanks, pen.
no, as i said, the third consonant is not what you would expect...

just put some buns in the oven. literal buns, not pregnancy 🤣
hi again - taking a break from the stove
hey nan. what are you making? or is it a wood stove you are tending?
no miracle babies, carla?
whew, I hope not
nope have made fillings for beef pies, chicken pies, have the carcas simmering in the oven for chicken soup. Next up will be the pastry for the pies.
sounds delish
if I could just find 2 more t's on the 4th row I'd gray the whole one
what kind of buns are you baking?
hot dog and hamburger. same recipe, just doubled it. I have a new england hot dog bun pan which is a little different.
its been a long time simce I made bread or buns. May get back to it -- especially for something like cinnamon bun -- they are up to $1.75 each in the stores now.
I've made this one before I had special pans, so we'll see how it goes
yeah, gluten free bread and ingredients are even more
have your eggs gone up too?
yes -- free range are $6.98/doz
yeah, high here too
they are a lot cheaper at costco, but I can't use up 2-1/2 doz. within the best before date.
yep, I get that
still missing a whole bunch of 7's and not seeing much
yeah, I need 10 7s
8-26-19-10-3
still need 9 s's and 15 c's
hello again...
pen!
you are ahead of me, carla
hi pen
carla!
48 here....
nice
not really....kind of stalled...
me too. going to check my buns.
sorry - I'm kind of stalled at 78 so no sympathy here :)
hah....
think I"ll go make the pastry now -- maybe I can knead some frustration out
good idea....
forecast is 6 to 10 in. here....ugh....
you're lucky. all rain this winter
we had ice this week....that was yucky....
yeah. ice is tough.
we haven't had more than a couple inches of snow.
fell going out to my car...didn't get hurt, but had a hard time getting back up....kept slipping....nothing to hold onto...
we had about 7 inches a few days ago....
oh no
are you ok?
you can strain muscles like that
yes, just a skinned knee....
it was black ice....didn't see it....
I'm hoping to take the kids skiing in february for a few days
i had shorts and knee socks on (going to my tennis match)....had to go back in and change and brave it again to get back to the car....
where are you intending to go?...
ouch! ice tennis must be a new extreme sport
up near stowe I think
yes, lol....
oh that should be nice....
I got an airbnb further north, hoping for colder weather
they must have snow up there....
I think they got a bunch
great nephew went cross country skiing with his school team for a few days over Christmas break....they went to Presque Isle and it snowed every day....
he had a great time...
beautiful
rehi - glad you are okay, pen. my mom broke her kneecap when I was a teenager stepping on ice on our carport.
they have a great facility up there....host international events....
we are having more rain 😔
i don't mind the snow too much....less shoveling now with the new landlord....ice is tough, though....
savor the snow while we still have it.
are you in NC or SC?>..
SC but like 20 min from the border of NC.
ah....my cousin moved down there....about ten miles to the border, I think and close to the coast....
I am far from the coast
ah...farther west...
yep, in the mountains
ah, ok....never been in that part of the state....
What is it you snow lovers love about snow?
south of Asheville, which is south of my hometown in VA
i am not a winter sport person....but i would rather have the snow that the extreme hot weather....
I used to be a snow lover. not so much anymore. but I would rather have snow over cold rain any day.
i have been to Asheville....and i lived in Charlottesville for two years....very nice area....
Yeah, but you don't have to shovel cold rain, and it doesn't mess traffic up.
it's so quiet. and I like shoveling
I like all kinds of weather
i do like the change of seasons...
i assume that an 8 (yes, I listed at 40) is a chemical term?...
You like shoveling? Harry you are truly unique.
it's frequently the only exercise I get in the winter
i don't mind doing a little.....but only if it is light snow... :oD
The an8 has a direction in it
ty, molly....got it...
ty molly
Go 49ers!
what do the 9s begin with?
I'm done with football. what an awful buffalo game today
I forgot your wahoo connection, pen. charlottesville is over 4 hours from my hometown in va.
oh! got a 9!
yes, it was an awful game....
if I had to pick, I like cincinnati more than buffalo
sn 9 may be the one you don't have, Harry....
Me too
even if you like the bengals, it was not a fun game to watch
don't like Cincinnati here....
no, not a fun game...
ah! ty pen!
got both 9s.
the snow made it more interesting, but I didn't actually watch it
now I have nothing to do but root against philadelphia
well since McCaffrey is my favorite Panther for the last few years, I guess I'll root for him.
I just want some team to kick Philadelphia's asses out of the playoffs
i keep wanting constrict to be in the grid.... :o|
me too
ftr, ruru said the c's were all normal except for 1 (IIRC). not sure why I still need 11 then.
they are fairly normal (all seen before)...but some are less common...
now just need 9 🤣
almost achieve
Fairly normal but less common, only in Babble chat
made it to 30 c's
nice...
32 now, found the math ones
43 left now - finally got to 5 or less on each
or as moo says 5OFOET 😜
14 here.....listed at 45....
4-11-15-9-3. yeah, I see my problem with this grid. I never do well when I have so many 6s and 7s left.
still missing two 7s here....
I probably won't bother listing
i am too close not to finish... ;oP
yep, that's why I won't start the finish
do you have or 6/21?
it is my last word...
no, o is a struggle. I have typed orcine at least 3 times today, so I can assure you it's not that.
yes, i have done that, too...
what about my missing F?
then I can at least close one more tile.
fr 5.... a babblet...
I swear I thought I tried that earlier today.thx
and I have the c one
yw...
i am done...used Best Word List....should have found it, though....we have had it before...
