A wild turkey just walked past my patio. He is bigger than both my cats put together.

He was chasing the smaller birds. He also scared away the bunny rabbit.

9:30 am

phantom: inferno

9:32 am

Gads, frost on May 17th?

9:32 am

yup

9:33 am

we're already not getting any local peaches this year because of the -10F days in Feb, now the apples might be getting quite the shock. Shouldn't dip in the 20s but still...

9:33 am

That's a shame. Fresh peaches are the best.

9:34 am

agreed

9:35 am

see you all tomorrow, I'm actually heading out to buy some row covers or I won't have any tomatoes either :)

11:45 am

11:45 am

idk if anyone is around but wouldn't mind a clue for re8/9 if so, or pointers for the 8s that don't seem to have been called (have br7/8 combo)

11:46 am

re5 + suffix, then pluraize

11:47 am

I can improve that clue, if needed.

11:47 am

ah, thank you

11:48 am

only one of my re5s was amenable to your clue so i was able to narrow my focus and figure it out :)

i have 5 re 5

11:49 am

re5/16 = I will re5 you to a medical specialist.

11:49 am

11:58 am

np :) glad it helped

12:03 pm

m

12:05 pm

i really missed a lot of easy ones, the cat drama this morning stressed me out so much

12:08 pm

what was the cat drama hurshy?

12:09 pm

it is an issue we have sometimes, there is a stray cat that comes and stands on my deck/handicap ramp, and my boy cats want to kill it, but they can't get to it, so they redirect their rage at each other

12:10 pm

happened around 7, then again around 10, but idk if the cat came back or if opie just was looking out remembering the earlier visit

12:10 pm

I'm finding a few plural adjectives that I missed and don't consider legitimate words

12:10 pm

the second time opie was attacking ME as i carried fritz off to be shut in the bathroom to separate them. luckily i have jeans on but he may still have drawn blood, i haven't looked

12:11 pm

we had a cat on our back porch the other day that winston really wanted to say hi to. or maybe something else.

12:11 pm

and some easy babblets

12:11 pm

sorry to hear that hurshy

12:11 pm

well mine just have RAGE. scary, scary rage with yowls and vicious attacking and clumps of fur getting pulled out

12:11 pm

they really hate that guy

my cats did the same. it passes. i would just yell at them. they sulked and stopped.

12:13 pm

My grandson and Biden are in Hiroshima the same day

12:13 pm

su8 is the fourth 8

same think if one went to the vet and the other not. they smelled foreign afterwards i guess.

12:14 pm

the petmd.com advice says not to yell, that it only makes it worse. but their advice is to close the blinds... as if cats don't go behind blinds and curtains! so their advice is pretty suspiciously dumb

12:14 pm

i mean i have yelled tho and it has no effect. they are SO intensely mad, there's no redirecting them, they just HAVE to be separated

i don't scream. i have my best, deep, get their attention voice. then when i have it, i can deal.

i would chase them from the area so they did not go behind the curtain. it will pass when the intruder has been absent a bit.

12:16 pm

even though the advice also says not to get between them cause you may get hurt. i feel like i kind of have to or they will get hurt much worse.

a "hey" or KNock it off" sufficed.

perhaps throw a blanket or beach towel over one.

12:16 pm

i can't just let them try to kill each other for however long they feel like it. yeah, they are COMPLETELY deaf to anything i say in any tone of voice in their focus.

12:17 pm

yes, a blanket or towel would be a good idea! thanks

cats rarely hurt each other badly. a lot of it is show. it's displaced aggression.

12:18 pm

it's just really way way different and more intense than when they just like, have their play fights and one of them is sick of it

it is horrifying to see siblings go after each other. usually one starts it

well of course. it's displaced aggression.

12:18 pm

yeah, it's sad cause they normally love each other

12:18 pm

Done - hagd everyone :)

it's not about each other.

it's about defending territory.

12:19 pm

I had a Bichon once. He was very aggressive. Had to get rid of him. Sent him back to the rescuer

12:19 pm

bye nan

12:19 pm

12:28 pm

I have too much going on at once

12:28 pm

heh, understandable

12:29 pm

I have to jump on a client call... which is sort of ridiculous because I'm between jobs and my new job doesn't start till June 5, but needs must

12:29 pm

still have 85 left here, will try to catch up while you're gone

12:31 pm

do have HOET now

12:31 pm

Babble never ceases to amaze me. A client call for a job that hasn't started yet.

12:31 pm

yeah, I hope they pay

12:40 pm

rehi

12:41 pm

moooo

12:41 pm

oh, I lied. no HOET yet.

12:41 pm

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

I think maybe Wed

12:42 pm

12:43 pm

yeah, I got up early this morning for tennis. it's already been moved to 9am for the season due to the heat.

12:43 pm

yeah, first call was 6am today....so up early

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

there's a thought

12:44 pm

oh, how did I miss the c word

12:45 pm

name that disney cartoon character that only talks at the end of each episode!

12:57 pm

I guess runon has a hyphen

very annoyed right now. amazon sent me a wrong item. I had to drive 20 min to a UPS Store to return their screwup. UPS scanned the QR code and it's not showing up as returned yet (it was 7 days ago). and there's no way to call or chat with a live human being anymore and the robots only give you canned questions and responses, none of which fit.

1:16 pm

and that's why i will not use amazon, nobody know anything and NOBODY CARERS !!

1:17 pm

i used to order thngs from the net, but if my kids cannot get what i want. i just do without it

1:18 pm

nare

smart

1:19 pm

Amazon really has horrible customer service. I usually ask to speak to a manager, and even then, the service is not great.

last time I had to call it was easy and I talked to a person but I sure can't figure out how to beat the robots to get to a person this time

1:26 pm

Try 1-888-280-4331

is this a trick? if not, thanks and I will :D

1:30 pm

No it is the last Amazon Customer Service phone number I saved. I don't know if it still works.

1:30 pm

It is still listed as their Customer Service number if you do a Google search on it.

1:33 pm

have an ear wrn......... smokie singing living next door t alice

don't think I know that one. I'm glad since I'm very susceptible to earworms.

1:38 pm

Wow, that is one obscure earworm. Never heard of the band Smokie.

2:15 pm

hursh - read the chat - try a water bottle. it'll get their attention and it's seconds of fun.

2:15 pm

(a spray water bottle, hehe)

2:21 pm

I use one on Q when he is barking excessively.

2:22 pm

whenever i tried it on dogs, i'd just end up with a wet room :)

2:22 pm

like, "oh goody! i like this game! yip yip yip!"

2:23 pm

he hates it. someone has used one before with him.

2:23 pm

the cats, though, would disengage and skedaddle

2:26 pm

they come to us with all sorts of issues, bea - i had a basset that was terrified of baby gates

2:28 pm

yes, we had so many issues with the fosters we have had.

2:29 pm

*places halo on bea's head for being a foster*

2:30 pm

one of our kids works with a bulldog rescue - she had her first foster fail last year and now bruce has a permanent home :)

2:31 pm

yes, we have had three foster fails. LOL!

2:32 pm

well, time to get this show on the road - water's been off since yesterday and if i want to wash dishes, i have to boil some. it might be back on tomorrow, but not holding my breath

2:33 pm

(and kudos to you for your failures - takes a big heart to take these critters in)

nona

OOps wrong box, sorry

3:01 pm

Welki, I haven't heard that phrase since my Mom passed away. She worked with a travelling carnival in the 1960's every summer, while my brother and I were parked with other people. For years, I thought only carnival or theater folks said "Let's get this show on the road."

that is a neat story, but that I've heard that phrase all my life with no ties to any carnivals. maybe a regional thing.

3:06 pm

not regional since I have heard it a lot over the years.....and i am in the Northeast....

3:07 pm

One time when I was a teenager I heard my teacher say it to us when our class was going on a field trip. I actually asked her, "Did you used to work in a carnival?" Apparently it's a common phrase from that time, but I haven't heard it in years until welki said it. Brings back memories.

3:08 pm

i am done....so i am heading out...bye all....

3:08 pm

congrats, pen!

hi/bye, pen!

52 left here but working on other stuff.

3:09 pm

I'm just getting started, so a long ways to go. Diving in!

3:19 pm

3:27 pm

made it to 200 - bbl

3:48 pm

you know you have been playing babble too long when you just see the letters grouped together and you get ae7 and 8

4:01 pm

I don't actually remember seeing those in the grid before

4:02 pm

(but ty for the clue)

4:41 pm

yw

4:57 pm

I don't remember seeing them either

5:13 pm

but you got them, right? it is the way letters are grouped. and you don't lose points

+1, got them but don't remember them and almost made a joke word about cats on airplanes

hi all, diving in

halfway done, but missing one tile each for nbt and nbs

gwen, a tip: the appendage gets a workout

hmmmmm

a general hint. many of my missing words used it, from 5s to 7s

okay, found one, wonder if the kids today know what a to7 is LOL

7:36 pm

Help with re 6/18 please :(

they may, vinyl is back in a big way

good night, all

well, yeah, the vinyl-loving kids, but what about the other ones, HA

night owl

sorry, jain, i don't have it either

7:42 pm

Gwen, I think monkey typed every possible combination.

7:42 pm

*I've*

7:43 pm

If you lost money, you might have to re6 it

i might give up in a few minutes -- starting to get stuck

do you know which R to start from?

7:44 pm

The upper one

kay i'll work on that

7:45 pm

Ithink it must follow 5/10 but that's already a plural. Has to fit between 5/10 and 4/7

ooh, i found re + ea4 to make money doing a job

7:50 pm

Yes! Thanks Gwen. Clearly the monkeys are feeling the hear today. Poor things

7:51 pm

*heat*

woot ! 83 to go here, i'm folding up my tent and going home -- night

7:53 pm

And thanks Gillie. Didn't get your clue - also feeling the hear maybe :)

7:54 pm

Good grief! *heat*

7:54 pm

Never actually felt a "hear"

7:56 pm

Unless you count being yelled at...and that hasn't happened for a long time. Kids are long past the teenage drama.

7:57 pm

I'm just waiting till theirs are teens. LOL

9:40 pm
