nbt/nbs and off to bed -- see you tomorrow :)
hey sprite. how about that amarillis flower? amazing isn't it?
so gorgeous!
I used to give a bulb of those to my grandmother every year. She was amazing with plants. She got them blooming, sometimes as many as 5 flowers on one bulb.
ikr? i was so pleased to see it.
very beautiful
i have two flowers on the one stalk. and i noticed clumps of leaves coming up separately. so i think the bulb has divided.
oh wonderful!
greetings, insomnia strikes again, diving in
very excited. Don is so lucky. i was nearly ready to kill him when i found he had moved the pot without telling me.
lolol indeed
hiya Gwen, sorry you can't sleep
so sorry to see that Gwen but lovely to have your company.
tanx sprite

i'm gonna plotz
getting sleepy at last, night all
sweet dreams Gwen.
I have all the un except the last one an 8 clue please
nancy, un + composed, dignified, and self-assured.
it's a past tense with no present tense version
that's a un 8/55. is that the one you are missing?
thanks rose, got it and now for some sleep
sorry, that took longer than planned
sweet dreams dear.
night nancy
wb darling.
it is the silly ptsd. It translates all stress in my body into mortal fear. Which is not easy on the bowels, lol.
night sprite and rose, enjoy your chats and amazed you are such close friends who live so far from each other
we were friends in babble first, then meeting for real two years in a row was absolutely amazing
I know that and followed your trips. I have been here since 2005. But to keep such a friendship is so precious and not common. My best friend who was like a sister to me, we actually called each other sister, died a few years ago and I still feel like part of me is missing.
oh I am so sorry. That is a tough loss indeed
rose is more sister to me that my own ever was, to be honest. I truly treasure having her in my life
yes, thank you. I will forever keep her in my heart.
I feel the same. My sister was a total opposite of me and we were never really close.
my sister and I both came out of our childhood with bad damage. Somehow it always messes up our contact. Last year she cut me off (again) and if I am really honest, I am enjoying the drama-free time.
nancy, sprite is the sister i never had.
maybe that is why we keep our friendship so alive and strong. We both cherish the heck out of this relationship, we cannot take it for granted.
my sister passed away in 2013 and to survive my sanity I had to stop contact with her way before she died. Sad story and too long to write about here. but it was also a huge drama.
I hear ya! *hugs*
you two make me laugh so much, keep up the good work. Sprite I remember you moving to a tiny house. Did you leave for a different and bigger place.
sprite, had an interesting convo with my bro today. i told him how our mother told me that he and the next bro down hated me. and how when she was expecting the twins, he had a suitcase packed in order to move out if one of the twins was another girl. i won't repeat what he said first, but he told me how ALL my brothers adore me. they all can remember me stopping her from physically abusing them.
no, we were in the process of building our tiny house when we discovered my husband has heart problems. He is no longer allowed to do heavy work. We had to give up our dream. Now we are searching for a place to live. We are staying at our daughter's house atm
it was lovely to hear that they do love me, after all these years.
awwwww rose... I am so happy for you that your brother could tell you this. But also very very mad at your mother for her evil manipulation.
sprite, it utterly wrenches my heart that i cannot help you financially to achieve your dream.
aw sweetie, that is way way beyond your or my paygrade. Thanks for the sentiment though, I know and it warms my heart.
Good morning all...could I please have a clue for un9?
flask, past tense word
hiya Flask, being brought together in an organised form
hugs to you both for the conversation, it is 3 am here and i have not been to sleep yet.
*hugs* nancy. I hope you will be able to sleep now. Sweet dreams :)
great clues....but my brain just cant see it....sorry!
sorry dinner here. bbs
no worries. Try this: organised workers + form of to be + past tense ending
enjoy, rose *hugs*
tomorrow is our election day and everyone i know is in a high state of anxiety over the possibility of the United States losing our democracy. I am saying prayers that Harris wins and I never have to see that vulgar orange evil monster again,
amen
did that help, Flask?
definitely not....lol
lolol
un + charged particle, + form of to be, + past tense ending
or, do you have the io6/7 combo?
got that yeh....
okay, un- them :D
unionised
you got it :D :D :D
OMG...am soooo sorry Sprite....
*giggles* it happens! When babble blindness strikes and the penalty box beckons... we all have been there
thanks for all the clues...:)
you are very welcome
and back again. have run out of liteneasy meals.... i was so brave and inhaled two meat pies.
well done
* giggle *
fireflies. *hugs* my darling, sleep well tonight. Bye all!
* hugs * sweetheart. i hope you continue to improve.
Bye Sprite...
flask, do you need any more clues?
Hi Rose...very kind offer, but I still have a lot to do,,,,,thanks!
pint
OOOps!
okay then. time for me to sign off. happy babbling to all. prayers that the election is peaceful.
Bye Rose...
Thanks for the good wishes for our election, Rose. I, too, hope it is peaceful!

Before the Americans all wake up, is this a good time to note that 'Trump' is so nearly in today's grid??? CONSPIRACY!!!
almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. :)
i was hoping of all places, i would not see his name here .... our community is littered w/ his name on lawns, trees, i can't wait till it's over .. plz god help us save this country // saw the PA is a deciding state ...
Best way to steer clear of all political talk today is to stay away from discussion forums. You can turn the chat off here by clicking on Who's Online above the chat
i'm not one to avoid political talk except with family and close friends.. if the discussions are civil it's a good thing I think. Not sure why some people get so worked up.
I'm tired of hearing so much of it and would prefer to not deal with it here.
Lots of phantoms this morning!
ru, look at the new fence around the white house ... saw in USA today page ... they expect ppl getting worked up ... sad state our country is in now ... and champ ... i agree
that's just prudent wingding.. given Jan 6 riots
New fence? There was one last time I was there, and that was during the current administration.
wanna wage when the nat'l guard gets called out ? ... champ ... it's a bigger / higher chain link ... they don't wanna deal w/ ppl climbing over ... they shoot like they did w/ ashley there ...
It's very prudent and I'm glad they are being proactive. It won't stop the nutjobs though.
the national guard has been summoned not only in the Capitol but several states including Oregon
i missed that, what site ?
i read it on my news feed.. they're preparing for trouble
No site, just do a Google search on National Guard on duty during election day
it's not like he's not laying the groundwork to contest the results and start up a whole new mess
start ???? it was the beginning of a mess when he threw his hat in the ring for the office
Yep, and people will still go vote for someone who threatens retaliation if he loses.
tion
he's only running to stay out of prison, he could give a rat's ass about this country
true ruru
And that is a sad fact
ru, you nailed it, but, i did not wanna say that
I do understand how many in America are left behind and having a tough time, but his dangerous rhetoric is frightening.
o
o
i've friends who've gone to other countries to work, and the ppl there ask what's the matter w/ the US ???? why would they do that to themselves ..
yeah.. I heard a lot of that in Scotland
help with corner N please
ni5
elections where a very engaging to discuss in school, my 4th grader cannot discuss politics in school ... don't know abt the other grades up .. we avoid it at home so he won't parrot it ... i've been getting asked why i smoke for at least a year .. don't have a good answer for that one either
ty ru
smoking is a terrible habit..
:( ... only habit i've got left, i gave up most everything else ..... most everyone back in the '50s in my family were chain smokes
my father was a chain smoker and my brother nearly as bad
I despise cigarettes and its awful smell
i'm less than 12 a day ... when at hockey meets, i go to the end of the parking lot to smoke ... alot of vapers there now-a-days
It's super hard to be a smoker these days wingding. It's not allowed in so many places.
i hope you can quit someday. it's a certain deadend street and certain death
they stopped in the offices in the late '80s .. we had to go outside .. when i was at comsat in MD i had to get in the car, drive to the edge of the property to smoke ... i had 2 a day there
t
My husband likes to smoke when we go on vacation. Last place we went didn't allow it on the property at all. He had to go outside the complex gates. He always makes new friends tho..smokers stick together!
I've helped a few people quit.. it was extremely difficult for them both
Vaping is what gets me. Because it can be done anywhere, I'm sure they do more of it.
can't be done on airplanes
Never noticed, but of course you're right.
I saw a woman get thrown off a plane for vaping
Is it automatic, or do they ask them to stop then toss 'em if they don't?
another karen type
it's automatic these days
and if they vape in the bathroom they're arrested once the plane lands
They're pretty clear about do's and don't on airplanes, so you get what you get!
when i get ill .. like covid, etc ... it'll be 2/3 wks w/o one .. than, maybe, i think i can do it, but, usually slip back sadly ..... tobacco prices took a huge jump last week in PA .... probably taxes .... i had a CT scan 11 years ago, they couldn't even tell i smoked, my llungs were alittle calcified, but, clear, and ... gotta comment on the 7:07 plane one, coming back from hawaii, '70s, quite a few of the occupants on the plane joined in the bathrooms to partake in the goods they smuggled back
I'm a nice plane passenger.. their job is really tough a lot of the time, especially on discount airlines
not sure why unruly types think they can get away w/ it . unless it's a sense of entitlement that overtakes their commonsense
I remember the days of smoking on planes.
I do too.. and smoking sections
It's just like anything else. If they're rude on planes, you can bet they're rude to service providers and people in general.
some planes still have ash trays ... a car i just bought doesn't
Ashtrays and lighters have been gone for a while.
when i commuted to the office on a train, there was a packed smoking car ... now they have a quiet car ...
e
living with my father as a kid I was smoking several packs a day just from second hand smoke
::)) glad the conversation switched to something else ... off to wake up my son ... feed him, and go vote ... best of luck to america today ... may we prevail
have a good day!
good luck wing
BBL for last 32. Good luck all!
ooh, found an 8. good morning, babble land (in my best robin williams voice)

phantom prostitute
Well who will be the next president and how many lawsuits will be filed? That is the question of the night to be.

nice
and found another p8

Wow carla. Go girl go.
P is still the biggest problem with 4 left
Pr or po or pa??
both were PR
Ty
well first pass kinda rushed, but 54 to go
one is a regular word and the 7/8 set is botany
middle column greyed
27 now 3-5-9-4-6
18-17-7-4-6-0-1
please help me gray the middle col. just need 2 i's on 2nd row.
the zulu warriors?
that's the set I have
oh, well then you'll need to bring some goods in from somewhere
duh, thanks
Go mool.
and I was just about to call a phantom one letter off.
6OFOET - the P is a little stubborn
5OFOET
ii N UUU T T MMM SS AA PPPP TT M F FF
What is foet??????
Carla and mool, you lost me way back.
he is saying 5 or fewer on every/each tile
5 Or Fewer Of Every Tile
I got one pr 8.
name that brand of ink pen that was big in the quilting world but has fallen a little out of favor
oh found the 10...that's lame
found a 4th col F
I've seen lamer
marksdolly was here, i think - she'd know the name of the pen
yeah, where is she?
I dont have a clue about the quilting pen.
Nor much else from this chat.
heat removes the ink so quilters would mark the fabric and then iron it off. but it leaves a faint residue that can be visible and cold temps bring it all back.
I once left a notepad that I had used the pen on in a hot car and it all disappeared. but then you can stick it in the freezer to bring it back. btw, the pen is called Frixion and the selling point is the top has a plasticy thing that you use like an eraser, so the heat caused by friction makes it disappear.
What is the stat for the ten please?
mu10/91
the 10 is MU
Ty.
found another P, so now <=3 on each
Got the mu word. Ty. And an 8 from it. Ty
Any clues for the 9 welcome. Ty.
someone who supports organized labor
UN9 - past tense of a british spelling
or rather the action of it
Ty.
Got several already from that clue.
Ty
Got the 9 as well. Ty.
right column grey
Is the x used at all? Hmmm
yeah, I've used it for a number of words
just need one M for the right col
4OFOET
Ty mool.
What is foet????
3OFOET
7-7-7-2-3
I swear I don't try to make it like that
Again i am stumped. No idea what you are talking about mool.
having 7 left each of 4s, 5s and 6s
Oh ok. Got it. So the 2 is sevens and the three is eights?
yep
we call it hurshian notation, as she came up with it
Got it. Interesting. How many years have i done this grid and never knew what that was…….duh.
But what is FOET? Still dont get that one.
oh, we have only been doing it for maybe a couple of years
There are not that many people who use it
3OFOET 3 Or Fewer Of Every Tile
Wow. Ok. Ty.
Meantime i am just trying to get to no blanks. I have two blank tiles still. But no blank word stats.
cool
Now just one blank.
go mkg, go!
Clue for top left N, please.
rhymes with a camera brand
My daily goal is to get more than half way with no blank tiles or stats. And i achieve that daily about 95% of the time.
me too mkg
Ni 5 10.
so many different ways to play this
Nice shirlock. I dont push to get fireworks. Seldom do. Takes too long to do that daily.
I try to get as far as I can without any clues, but if I don't have the time it's okay
if i have time, i try for FW on the smaller grids
i gave up on doing FW every time
On the small ones yes but not the small but impossibly difficult ones.
I also like being in chat, so inevitably I see clues from time to time
Ty, Moo
yw
Would someone send me stat for the fourth row i words? Or just one of them please? Ty.
im5 im6 and im5 again
Ty
Got two of them already. Ty
then you probably can figure out the 3rd ;)
rehi
rehi hokester
down to 20

5-5-5-2-3
Good luck ladies. I am off to swim.
enjoy
have a good one
found a 4
top row greyed
just looked at a sample ballot to prepare myself. all the partisan races besides president are republicans running unopposed. not sure I should bother to go out in this rain.
this is the first big rain since helene so mr. homie went in the attic to check the leak. still leaking. of course I am almost finished with the ceiling patch job.
The two-party system doesn't make it easy
ah roof leaks, frustrating
found my last 7
help mwith un/7-40 //
well there's still a lot of ore out there....
well, guess I'll try to find my 3 4's
ooh, found one to gray the big T
not sure I've seen that before. "british dialect"
nice, still have on on the big T
I mean, that's not the meaning but it is from a british dialect
oh, greyed the big t with a 4 too
probably that one
almost appropriate for today as well
oh yeah, looks like it was
2nd row greyed
2-4-3-0-2
MMM SSS A PPP F
still need 3 U and one T on the other for 2nd row. I have tried so many U's that should be words.
well they all start the same if that helps
save me from looking elsewhere I reckon
trop
and hello to you too Aloy
2-4-7-3-6 ii N UUU T MMM SS AA PPP TT M F F
aloy!
pressed something wrong.. screen went blue and froze.. back after three tries. Hi to you all on this windy election day.
hey aloy, rainy here
no wind here, but we may barely be above freezing tomorrow as a high :)
eek
phew, trop was no good at least
38 as a high
maybe a dusting of snow tonight...still waiting for first snow
oh, made up an m6
found an S5
huh? an 55
did you try past and present tensing it, moo? I made up a mu6 later that had 2 7s with it.
that would be impressive
a 55 letter word :)
S as in snow
yeah, it's a stand alone
aloy needs to put on her glasses
oh, an m5
lol, problem is.. they are on and I'm still squinting.. appt. in Jan.
phantom minion
oh, I know the one you're talking about hoke...I had those, knew them....finished my 7s too
I'm on a snail's pace now
me too...9 left
2-3-2-0-2
and 6 of those words come from the S and the P
still 21. my snail is slower.
I have a slug pushing my snail
ah, found an s6
is that all the s's for you?
nah, still have 2
i just have one
MMM SS A PPP F
the corner F
oh, and one M...duh
gonna have to list. have reached the end of the line.
I'm multi-tasking
still ii N UUU T MMM S AA PPP TT M F F
well, I'm also occasionally looking at wordle to come up with another guess
almost asked you about a word but then noticed you hadn't finished that tile
there's one I definitely remember thinking about. must've mistyped it.
wordle took me 5
on guess 4
probably should try find my 2 4s
finally found a superlative
deafening roars
gonna have to skip 2 m's with the list
probably including the made up 6 I found
they are both 6's, yes
oh, might have them both
both my 4's I thought I had
the other one was a kinda guess
one is a 6/24 and one a 6/27 and if you'd like to clue either or both I won't complain
yep, those are the two
for the second one...do you support people not talking?
thanks, just found a similar p
for the first one...did it's like a dyslexic typed that 6/7/7 combo you talked about...kinda
and my S is a babblet I forgot about
oh, I just found a p6 that had a similar ending which was my last 6
2-3-0-0-2
kinda odd remaining words
finally monkeyed that other one
found an 8 and one of my 4s
which 8 because I already had to skip 2
M S PP F
a8
1-3-0-0-1
is that against something?
yep
gonna start using that one ending on all my missing words
yeah, I only had a few
3 left, all 8's
U A P
ah, I have 1 8 left
so now you know
yeah, the u you should get
I have two p8s
odds were that I needed a third
well, i have already tried and complained about unminted
ah, just had to look at my list for that U
I think pistoned is a real miss
yeah, I tried that at least twice when I found the root
Clue pls for an 8
I just know we;re against something, scatter
against porn
hmm, I can't think of a porn word
oh yes, thanks
now just the P8 left
it was one of the 4s I was missing :)
based on the score and the letters I think I will have to look up the last one
ok, wise choice
still 5 left here
no idea how that one hasn't been talked about
ah, found my f
fabulous
finally came up with a guess on wordle and it was the answer
yeah, was an odder word than normal
well I often miss it here too
my 3rd guess was a way odder word that I only know from here
I use very odd words to try and narrow choices of letters
oh, found a p5
1-1-0-0-1 M S P
of course the bot told me that it was a valid word but would never be the solution
yep
well we know your P is 8. I'm pretty sure your S is 5, which leaves your 4 an M
can't figure out this last 4
oh duh, was an m4 that I thought I had
the S5 I only know from here but with your word nerdiness you probably know it
assuming it's not some obvious one I thought I had :)
ah, there it is
apparently it's one of 8 defensive positions
well this 8 isn't finding itself
maybe even the sixth of eight
yeah, could be
not sure I knew it, but guessed it
yeah, I will give you a hint whether you want it or not...it has a letter that the S had
ah, I did wonder when you said about the point total
technically it has 3 of the same letters, but not in any order
yeah, think I'm going to let that one stew a bit
would it give it away if I said bea probably knows it
nope
lol
it's okay, been plenty of boards I've left with 1
alright, remind me to tell it to you tomorrow
sounds good...have a great day
you too
finally figured out that a8 with the against porn clue, didn't see the 4 so took forever
thx to whomever it was who clued it
yeah, I actually found the 8 before the 4...and yw
the pa8 isn't one I can imagine anyone finding without MoreWords or similar (or other help) - and it doesn't turn up in dictionary.com, although a very similar word does
so, you'll provide a clue gillie? :)
Starts with a Greek god, and has to do with interbreeding
as shaggy would say...yoicks!
tx gillie, that got it for me
wow, that's a word for sure
Tyvm,Gillie. I am quite sure there is no way I would have found that word on my own.
I used bestwordlist and it did have a definition on there
I think it said it was botany related which is why I said bea might know it.
back.. I object that there is no "untinted" windshield
I agree and objected to that one earlier.
fw.. this grid had LOTS of newbies for me..gtg as mower repair man is here and I need to give him the ordered parts.. Happy Babbling Election Day!

Finally! Players!
I sensed my name was used today.
I need clues for un7.40 and un8.55, please?
