st7 (of which I am pretty dubious)
st9
Clues are up
thanks, lickety
te8 (of dubiousity, too! I don't think I have ever seen it before)
Completely agree, Freep, about both words being dubious.
Good to hear - I mean, some words I just don't know, but these both seem like... nah.
I can't even use the te8 in a made up sentence!
I just go with the Enable flow!!! Lots of dubious words.
N
Agree about the te word. The st word might just scrape by but still dubious.
yeah. I have trained myself to type 'em
I'd add "be" before them all, too, if I could
:)
i can't tell how tired i am of 'jews' in these grids. what is that? the highly offensive verb?
and worse. none come immediately to mind.
sc7
I don't know why, mab, but this episode just popped into my head...sort of related, I guess: Years ago I was watching TV and a black man was speaking about greed of corporations or some such, and he happened to use the word "niggardly." Dear heavens, the uproar over his use of that word was enormous. It's now come to the point where people have to dumb their speech down or they risk being misunderstood. And then there is the case of perfectly good words that have corrupted meanings, such as "jew." Keep up the good fight, foks, and keep the vocabulary elevated.
outrageous. people, some, need remedial reading class.
I think some people shoot their mouths off before they check their outrage. They want to shoot the first arrow. No one owns dictionaries anymore.
well, or uses them.
I still have my college dictionary from way back in the late '70s, I pull it out and blow the dust off a few times a year just to keep from losing the ability, haha.
anyone have a clue for the lower left lone N?
na6/18
thanks!

congrats! :)
morning babblers
{{{{{ sprite}}}}}
rose! *hugs* Glad to see you emerge from the other side and glad to read you have minimal pain now.
had a really bad night pre-op. i admit it. i was suicidal due to sheer terror. staff were wonderful. kept me dosed up on valium and tissues.
aw sweetie, what an ordeal. What was the terror about?
son Simon's b'day today. we are going over for dinner. fish and chips etc.
sounds like fun. We are having a quiet day. Am gonna make mushroom soup and we will indulge in some quiches.
it took me nearly 20 nyears to trust previous pain doc touch my back. i have only known this new doc a little over 12 months. no trust. too much knowledge of what could go wrong.
oh of course, that is so scary. Hard to trust a stranger with such delicate procedures. But how wonderful that it went so well. That builds trust for next time.
absolutely. he is the loveliest of men. and his anaesthetist i have worked with before. he took great care of me. he organised a CPAP for under the oxygen mask. was very careful to make sure i was physically comfortable.
such experiences really help build trust. Am so happy they took great care of you.
could have done with a little sprite hand holding, and sweet whispers. i know you would have been there like a shot if you could. i hate this world being so b****y big.
me too. I would have been there and made sure you did not feel terror, just normal anxiety. Darn the distance.
nearly time for me to go honey. need to do a bit of shopping before we hit the boyo's place.
will chat same time on whatsap?? okay?
I wish you a lovely visit. Enjoy the kids :D *hugs* and kisses, my darling.
love to you too sweetie. hugs and kisses in abundance.
yeah just try. Your earlier chat was around 3.45 and 5.50 am, so a bit early for me, lol. Just try and if I can, I will answer right away. Otherwise we will chat intermittedly.
fireflies and poofing.
likewise and same, laters, all! ♥
phantom ninety
I see it.
lol, I just typed it because I thought you meant it was really there
Haha.
phantoms this early?
Always. Sometimes I try them more than once because I am convinced they are there.
it might be easier to see them earlier before you've looked at all the tiles
'morning, folks
welki!
Hello over there, welki. Are the wildfires under control?
more like ramping up - we had rain, but it's still pretty dry to the north and west
It's so scary. A Babbler had a wildfire near her home in Florida.
aloy?
redturtlehead. She hasn't been here in a while.
aloy isn't in florida anymore I think
they sold the ranch
Yes, they are back in Ohio.
<-- needs a scorecard
I think someone made a list of Babble names and real names years ago.
I wouldn't live in Florida on a bet
a stalker?
Never.
no, hokie - on the fb babble page, someone created a list so you could cross-reference real name/babble name
Many original Babblers don't come here anymore.
well, I would live in FL well before I would ever move to OH
crazy red states and their crazy laws I would avoid. Although California isn't much better with its crazy progressive laws, high taxes and such.
don't forget also literally everything gives you cancer in CA
that's a new one to me
well, if you buy any product made it says "known by the state of CA to cause cancer"
phantom: western
if I end up in jail for not recycling orange peels I'll reach out to all of you to bail me out
lol, how are you supposed to recycle them?
we're under a new law that there are penalties if you don't put food waste in the recycle bin instead of the garbage bin
I passed halfway and need to get chores done.
bye scrabbs, have a good one
so, then where do they go? a giant compost pile at a landfill?
I like to put orange peels in the garbage disposal to make the sink smell orangey
I guess.. I just mail mine to Governor Newsome
Oh, I want that job...checking peoples garbage to make sure the comply with the recycling laws😂
well, I have HOET and 45 left after first pass. gotta make some breakfast.

and pl.
well that's the first ones I found there, but thanks
lol, i was tempted to say "i doubt hokie missed THOSE"
oh, i just foung them, so i naturally assumed everyone's brain worked like mine...
hokie's brain is very unusual
true
unquiet and pl, in a jiffy, opposite of all. that's all the no's i got
lol
and that makes six, so that is all of them.
i would love a clue on the leftmost i
in 6 and pl. you would think it was en6.
nm, jut got it

Don't forget the goose

na6/18
phantom: canine

hmm, only have the gambling place
and one other 7 and 8 that was not called that i haven't found, may or may not be a pair
haha, i have 1-1-5-1-1 left
nice palindrome
man, the NYT is really scraping the bottom of the barrel
i'm signed up for a daily email from them with top headlines, and their first today is "It's June again". you don't say? good thing we have you dogged journalists to dig out these stories
haha
and funny, I've been saying Connections is scraping the bottom of the barrel
well, this is not my grid. going to leave 31 for later or never. 1-9-13-4-3-1 now I see the problem.
stats for the corner left N pls?
na6/18
thx hurshy got it!
yw
et7 and another te8 are the things that haven't been called yet
I found the te8
I can't find a definition for te8
the te8 that I have is a plural of the 6 before it
But that is not a word
k, well got the te8
thx for the nudge
Hard to miss with that clue 😊
but there are two te8, that is the info i was trying to share
o i c, 2 of tem
ahh ty hursh
and actually Molly's clue is true for BOTH of them!
i mean, it's not REALLY true but it has the appearance of it.
Thanks, hurshy
Lots of BS words in this one
namaste
I'm really surprised "etchy" is not an acceptable word
naws
oops, sorry! that wasn't supposed to be here
down to 1 c6 word, which hurshy kind of clued below buy my babble-specialist monkeys are on strike and I can't find it...help?
I think it's a CA
and of course, now I see it
fw... time to go for a walk!
if anyone else also seeking that c6, it ends with a sea bird
Not a free bird, if you are listening to Skynyrd.
St9/60……..clue please
Anyone out there?
Please………
It’s my last word to find,,,,,, HELP
Nvm
Wow, someone can find the st7 and 8 and not the st9
hello everyone -- can't find the st 7, 8 or the 9
are they all related?
found an improbable st 7
Lots of improbables in this one
ne 7/48 following the boy who sells the papers on the train, please?
guy who reports the ne4
ty freep
what is it about our brains that blocks easy words like that?
because we see things like te8 and assume that everything is bonkers?
lol -- good point
But also... so often when I come back to the grid, I see obvious words that I didn't see the first time through. Same on the NYT's Spelling Bee some days. So I suspect there's some weird brain stuff at play
find myself doing that on bee as well
down to that st 7-8 combo I just cannot see
monkeyed it !
Cle pls for the st 7@8
third letter is a consonant
i cant find the 9. Have word before it and after it. Help! Is it two words?
yes compound word
All clues welcome for st 7, 8 and 9! Ty.
I have all other st words. Darn. Just not seeing them.
I have first 3 letters of the 7 and 8. Are those compopund too?
