I am sick too. Thank God, Rob is much better and can take over. We are taking turns, it seems.
gotcha! Sneaky plural that has no singular. Fireflies.
I need to walk Sherlock in a bit. he's got a tiny bladder and can't hold it very well, so it's like feeding a baby at night, gotta take him out in the middle of the night...
I hope you will feel better soon, rebel. And good luck with the doggie. Bye rbud! *poofs*

Good morning, Babble buds!
The 8's. One is normal one is not.

You know it!
bea, I'm going to the neighborhood "stitchers" club for the first time today
That sounds like fun.
I miss my stitching group.
you don't feel hemmed in?
we'll see. I think everyone is like 10-20 years older than me but I know a few ladies that go.
'morning, folks
welki! and ru!

Our new furniture is here!
woot woot!
yikes, welki
we still have a bit of snow but our course is closed for 2 week annual maintenance
we played last week on our anniv and it was low 30s out. I took a blanket for the cart and hot hands in mittens
Carla, the ladies in my group were a lot older too, but they became some of my good friends.
you're hard core!
that's good to hear, bea
just took winston out and almost bought it. today's the slickest yet.
55 c's
That will get some complaints.
i need three c's
Of course you do. =)
hadn't even looked, thanks
oh, moo is in the grid
moo is?

Internet shopping is killing retail
I hate amazon

the closest pet store got flooded out in helene and still hasn't reopened so I just ordered dog food from chewy yesterday
We have a brand new bag we need to donate to the shelter.
oh, I did that when ellie died
awww that so sad bea
I keep thinking we will adopt again, but I'm not sure.
it took us some time, bea. you'll know when you're ready, if you're ready
yeah.. when it is sudden like that it's hard to bounce back and it takes some time
I'm thinking my two now are my last dogs. I'd love to foster after that but that never works out for me
easy grid except for a few p'
except for a few p's and c's
I would like a small dog, but Larry will have to have a boxer. Maybe I can talk him into a small female boxer.
he's a one breed guy
I've been enjoying a new breed.. having goldens my whole life
our neighbors have a small white female boxer they rescued. she wants to destroy winston every time he comes out.
she looks like she could jump the fence but hasn't figured it out yet
I despise aggressive dogs
winston has gotten a bit reactive in his older age. he esp. hates doodles and poodles. mr. homie says it's all my fault for being so anxious whenever we get near another dog.
how old is winston?
8
that's not old for a golden
my last one only lived to 10 and his face is turning gray, so I consider him old
I've had a few live to 15 and a half
but he still acts like a puppy around new people
that's being a golden. truly the best breed there is other than the hair
yep
<-- agrees with ru.
I get "is he friendly?" all the time. my answer is always "too friendly".
I Didn't have a lot of luck with my last golden so figured I wouldn't redo the experience.
just checked the k9data, his mom died at 11 and dad at 13.
show dogs?
who are the parents?
you can look him up, banyan's first written omg
oh, one of his siblings died last year. it says unknown, possible grooming accident. sad.
Grooming accident?
every time I type those e4 and 5 babblets I'm like, maybe this will work. like I forget how they've been words every day.

hmmmmm
name that proper noun! one of the indigenous tribes of what is now referred to as California
Yurok
true, but not in the grid and therefore not the one i was going for
but i am pleased cause i didn't think anyone would even try :D
You and godthaab should get together
The Utes are from Colorado, so not them
indeed
or at least that's what the crossword puzzles have taught me
the one i have in mind does start with a vowel tho
They are from Colorado. The lived in the side of cliffs. Such a beautiful place.
any help w/ ca 6/27 is appreciated, i found the ca 6/21 while looking for it
It looks like a misspelling of something you count when on a diet.
Ohlone
ori, are you native to CA?
Origami gets the double chocolate cake!
Yes :D
ding ding ding!!!
That tribe was indigenous to where I grew up
that is conducive to knowing the answer :)
hey we can spell our units of food energy in an alt way today
but man there are a lot of C words
There sure are! I still need 11. They're everywhere
I finally had enough of those C's
ty champ ... got it after too many attempts in alternate spelling ... you were spot on w/ cluing
i am at 36 of them so far
Because it looks silly. I didn't want to try it, but did anyway.
At least all the ones I'm missing are from the top C, so I got that going for me. woohoo.

I thought that might be it.
both my ac words are normal
ah6 ends in equine
oho, then there are two ah words also!
cool
You don't have the 4?
i didn't until bea said there was an ah
and then i found that and then you said about the 6
Sorry, 2 ah. 2 ac, 2 al
36 left for this afternoon.
55 Cs....whoa!
And they're a pain in the butt!!! Still have 11 left. Saving them for last.
rehi for a few minutes
the c's still suck carla.
no doubt
carla!
just concentrating on bea's A stats now
pen!
of course I had ar5 and not al5
We're conditioned for the weird ones, not the totally normal ones.
yep. but still have an ac and an ah left. of course I typed ahole thinking maybe that's a word and then when I heard it in my head, I laughed.
oh, I rem. the ah now
that ole chestnut
I did it too, just 'cause!
oh, and duh on the ac
that ole not chestnut
and duh on my left O's

Yes. picking at my last 10 c's. whatcha need?
I just have that set of 4 oc and need a 5th
and no matter how many times I try, it's not ocho
Top O? Do you have oa7?
that's it!
aha, thanks
top row gray
woohoo!
I only have 20 c's left. and if my emojis were working, I'd put a crying one here.
thx for that nudge on the oa7
yw! yes...super frustrating
still have a lot of p's and s's too
finding the s more frustrating than the c, TBH, because those are normally regular words
There's an S word that looks japanese that has no def, but we've had it before. Se 6/27
that'll have to wait, thanks. gotta go! still 47. 13-14-14-4-2
yep, shaping up to be a DNF
bye, carla...
never say never!
i'm just happy i have NBT and passed the halfway
How is anyone supposed to remember a word like se6/27?
Someone did and mentioned it in the chat. I wouldn't have!
FW. There were at least 5 words I'd never have gotten without morewords. Anyone need anything before i go?
congrats...
I knew it would be Hurshy or mael
Bye and good luck!
thanks...bye...

well, I don't remember seeing the ro6/24 before - it's Scots (of course) and an adjective, although it doesn't really look like it
The se6/27 is Japanese - a type of poem, similar to haiku. I've looked it up before, but I never remember.
rehi - sure wish I could remember that one
just looked it up. was all around it. :D
just looked it up. was all around it. :D
no idea why the double post
I looked up the scots one too. I have seen the se6 but have never seen that ro6.

Hey, jes
going to have to stop for a while - shoulder getting sore. bbl
hey jes
bye, nan, hope your shoulder feels better
what's going on with nan's shoulder?
still here -- that one more word! I fell on Sunday night and dislocated my shoulder
Ugh! I'm so sorry, nan.
oh, sorry to hear that
they put it back in, I suppose?
yes, but it is still sore -- see the orthopedic doc. tomorrow
meanwhile trying to type with arm in a sling, which isn't easy
one time I had to take a guy to the ER when we were playing soccer. it was like his 8th time.
I think it started falling out after like 4
Hope your arm is OK, nan. Dislocations hurt.
Finished the C's. Couldn't have done it without Lickety.

ok got the pi!

no i found a second LE!
2 le
ok but that's it? so my last one is LO?
1-3-5-3-1, hooray for palindromes
lo6/24 (there are 2)
yay, thanks!
okay, finally finished

missed the large rodent
looking at Rs now, need 2
do you have the ro6?
only a normal plural one
this one is from the scots, 6/24
hmmm
thanks, got it!
which one was the rodent?
my guess is you also need a similar ro5 adj (but not related)
the rodent is co5/6
thank you, got the ro5 adj!
might need the rodent too then
hmmmmmm
large, south american
hi again there is a large rodent beginning with co? Is it found on our continent?
oh - no idea then
has a sometimes vowel, ends in an always vowel
got it from MW!

so the lyrics helped a lot
yeah, I was questioning it was heart when I posted that, so did the lyrics too
google says yes
oh my gosh
the meaning of that word
i think i may have too much of that endocrine secretion
that would explain my life
lol, I was thinking it was like a seashell. thought we'd had it before.
abalone
might be what you're thinking of
have no idea who heart is, but guessed the word by filling in the blank in the lyrics quoted - ty
no, I'm familiar with abalone
