alert racial/ethnic slur. Doubt it is an adjective.
Hello Babblers! Sunny day here in NS
not so here swmbo ... icy sheets all over ground ... very cold and slippery
Oh no! Ice is a killer
Icy snow in Boston. But that's not abnormal. What was abnormal was the 2-3 years of snowless winters.
you know that those missing winters are a problem else where in the world ...
No more driving for me today. I went out to get coffee. I didn't get enough sleep. It could have been dangerous.
Kaplan the amount of snow we usually get it way down too. BTW I got your book. Loving it
The winters moved to Texas because they heard the weather was better there,
I'm so glad. I am re-editing it and expanding it with an actual publisher...The rule in writers groups is that everyone gets scammed at least once. I'm glad you like it.!
ha
that was me laughing at the weather joke
10 years ago there was a blizzard every day. 2015. I can't believe how fast this century is going.
I am enjoying comparing your childhood with mine. I am five years older than you, and considering the difference in our ethnic/religious backgrounds quite a few things are similar.
We are planning a resort vacation in the Trump Gaza Plaza. JK- but he meant it.
i can't believe what is happening to the weather systems, they're getting very destructive ... alot of ppl are suffering bc of it ...... india is bad w/ the heat
JK?
just kidding
Oh sorry for being thick
he meant it/demented! He demented! It's to be cemented. Maybe a villa demented/in that Gazan Mar a Lago by the sea.
i pray we don't have boots on the ground over in gaza ... we've not learned out lesson from the previous war yet
The destructive weather systems are due to global warming.denying it is real doesn’t make it stop sadly
our lesson .... i should edit first
Al Gore said this was all going to happening we didn't do something quick. He got an Academy Award. Then we promptly ignored.
ty for your thoughts swmbo .... but, the answer won't come easy
I'm rhyming today.
o
I meant a villa to be rented.
i'm not sure why the denial of weather .... you've nothing to gain by putting your head in the sand
I’m enjoying your rhymes! No Wingding I know the answer will be hard
i think it's like a child, just being obstinant (?) .... preferring to disagree ..... once the sea levels rise, there's
Did you think I was denying either the weather or global warming? I wasn’t
no turning back
no, did not take it as denying ... was appreciative of you mentioning it ... mother nature isn't too happy
Well we’ve treated her pretty badly.
Wall Street under the sea. This is not Mother Nature. This is her abusive relative.
our energy usage / production needs to be altered, , i like the idea of fusion and alternate fuels ...
Mother Nature went to Mars, where I hear there's fewer cars, and criminal leaders being bars- You know,,MARS BARS!
manhattan will be under water for sure .. along w/ the coastal mansions
behind bars. Damn spell check . Ruining my rhymes.
Now I am going to say something controversial: maybe Wall Street should be under the sea. Maybe we have put the acquisition of wealth above protecting the earth
it won't matter
Back Bay Boston. Goodbye Florida.
if physical wall street will be under the sea they will just relocate
Yes I know that. I was speaking metaphorically
It's just happening so fast- the future is now. We are going to be a quarter way into the new century,
the rich are apparently not going to let go of the chokehold they have on the world
I live right on the coast and am quite aware of sea levels rising
shyed
oops sorry
if we lost wall street, you 'd be depositing your money in foreign banks ... look at TD , santander, i don't know abt the others ... i was in banking during the sub-prime mess, took me years to recover
Humans won't be on the top of the chart. Maybe three legged shrimp (see The Nanny.)
I know we get a lot of weird words, but what on earth could yo9/64 mean?
Even if you're not Bible oriented, the Noah fable makes it pretty clear. The Lord said he is not going to bother destroying the world anymore. We have to f***it up ourselves. And a couple of brief millennia later, we did.
howdy folks
Yes, we sure did
Hello Carla
ooh, first col gray
e
I tried youneed as one word and that is not what the yo word is.
it is odd to me as well. thanks to the chat for alerting me to its existence
it's like what de soto (I think) was trying to do to himself
sorry, ponce de leon
Yes, I think you’re right
But a cumbersome word
yes, I'd love to know if it's ever been used in actual conversation by anyone
“Sadly, many cosmetic surgery patients were not very yo9/64â€
well, you've done it ðŸ˜
Lol

now all col gray except for middle one. missed some easy bottom t's. 9 left.
0-2-2-2 DD LL D H
the yo9/64 builds off of the yo 5/18 ???
It’s actually a yo6/84
I don’t have it yet, but the math didn’t add up so I checked the stats for myself.
Yo9/84. Now I goofed
All of the yo words have the same base.
the 9 is yo 9/84...just looked it up....
yo7/44 and the yo9 is another part of speech of the 7, which is a suspect verb form of yo5
pen!
carla!
Swmbo,ty for the yo group of words. :)
phantom heyday
ty, finally got the yo 9/84 .. clue they all have the same base worked for me
oh, swimbo's usage in a sentence didn't do it?

i was hoping for a nice long grid to while away a snowy day....this one is a disappointment....
pen, you can always go out an shovel :)
We are seeing an interesting and beneficial change happening here in Canada as a direct result of Turmps insanity. We are hurridly going through the process of eliminating all inter-provincial trade barriers which in turn will save millions and streamline the movement of Canadian goods and services for all provinces. It is nice to see anything good come out of this.
we are driving back from FL today. just made it back into SC but still 4 hours to go. but sunny here.
happy for you, crossy...
that's awesome crossy
morning all
moooo!
Still a lot of work to go, but prigress is being made.
cross, i'm truly sorry for our actions ... the whole country is not on board thankfully
I am down to 5 now. did you finish, pen? is that why you are disappointed? or just know you will finish sooner?
Wingding, I feel terrible that our southern cousins have to deal with this insanity.
no....28 here...
cross ... does canada have trade barriers btwn your borders ???
cross #metoo
Hi SWMBO!
hey hoke, safe travels there
I'm kind of at a loss. feels like I've looked in every direction.
I'm down to 95
I'm kind of at a loss. feels like I've looked in every direction.
There are a few, wingding. Things such as load limit differences from orovince to province, changling placards, marker lights etc. Just things tha sliw the process down. Paperwork differences, etc, etc.
thanks, moo
what letters are you missing?
Damn typos
I have DD LL H left. 0-1-2-2
ah...i am missing some from each letter...
maybe some weird ones then
In extreme cases they actually empty out the truck from one provine and reload it into another waiting truck. It all costs money and time that can be saved.
Province*
wow
well, a few less to go now
doesn't take long today
3OFOET
until you're like me and come to a screeching halt.
2OFOET
Working on a deal now to sell LNG to the E.U. you would be surprised how much can be done in thirty days.

yo 5/18, pls
ed4 - characters of the runic alphabet
not adults...
I cannot find a meaning for it, hokie.
people that aren't old, bichon
Ahh, now I know. :)
I try not to be too obvious, because maybe people don't want the clues
Because everyone know runic, right?
when a 3 letter plural word comes up as no definition on this link, just erase the S and you can get the definition
exactly
It's all viking to me
last two columns greyed (and 2nd row)

I used to have a white-headed pionus named the ey

Ty, got them both.
so now 0-0-2-1
yeah, she kinda looked like one a bit...hence the name
what if I said I don't know what a pionus was 🤣
Is the 8 a yo?
no
you should put a lot of attention on that 8, crossy
yeah, it's a bit of an esoteric smaller parrot hoke
gas station break. BRB
hoke is going to break a gas station

and then he6/36, the period that was like the high point of some phenomenon or movement or whatever, which you might think should have an A in its second half instead of an E
well, I declared the real word a phantom earlier, thx
Stuck at 50 words……ouch
One anti-semitic slur. Not bad for a Thursday.
By which I mean nothing.
Kaplan what is the anti-semitic slur? Not getting it.
long and short, stuck at 40. Wish I could say the same about my age.
sh6
Wow ok. Got it. Ty for the clue and amazing it is in the grid.
Any clues for the D center of grid? Ty
I mean you COULD stretch it to have a descriptive meaning
good morning/afternoon everyone
Huh? The sh or is that a clue for a d word?
A lot of ethnic slurs are in ENABLE. For educational purposes I presume.
Did you know that DEI causes plane crashes?
So i heard trump say……if anything the chaos in the govt for employees causes them to become fearful and upset and perhaps that might cause issues. I am sure this was error by the helicopter pilots. I was told they were flying too high.
the first def when you click on it is adj of the sh5.
He said that?
Trump said the DEI stuff. I said the other.
there is no intent in the enable list, so you can't theorize that they mean the slur and not the adj
I am lost on clues. Any clues for the D center of grid? Ty
d4/7
Forget it. Going to swim
De or dy?
there is a de4 and also a dy4
and 2 de5
Sorry my brain wants to swim. Bbl
have fun!
Ty for dy4
not seeing that da 6-7 -- guess I have the wrong da 4, and don't even know where to start with the he 6/36
Some of these words are pretty far out there--even for Babble!
Use hurshy's clue at 12:42
that's how I knew there was an he 6/36 -- can't think of another word for highlight
There are also words getting a "latin" ending that you would never nirmally think of.
hello! clue for el 6/30?
going to list for last 20
I need that one as wel.
me too
i swear i've monkeyed everything. alas
oh -- it is not just pt of the da 4 -- no wonder I was lost
it's my last one, then I have to start cleaning (alas)
It has been so long since I have u it that I have forgotten how to used licketys babble clues.
(still am)
Used it*
Down to 19, but it is very slow going now.
not sure what to pt, because there is no pt for the da 4
got it!! think LOTR creatures.
No, there is not, but use it anyways
it's like them.
Make it past tense, add a cons, then pl it.
ty crossy
Yaa!
got it crossy? el6?
No, not yet
Start with King of Rock and Roll
Ahh, got it, ty ch1212.
you're welcome. Now off to clean. Have a great one everyone!
ty ch1212
L.O.T.R language. :)
he 6/36 please?
Our town used to host the international Elvis festival. We get people from all over the world for the event, but we ran into a bit of a problem. When we have three hundred Elvis imoersonators in one town, we needed a term for more than one Elvis, so we chise Elvii.
Chise.
Chose**
As in "Look at all those Elvii over by the library."
On a rainy day the streets would run black with hair dye. :)
went to word list -- alt. sp for that he 6 -- american sp I guess.
Clue?
ends in not night
*change last vowel from what I would spell it normally
Ty, cybernan. Not a spelling varriant I would have found on my own.
hagd everyone :)
Tc, Cybernan
crossy if you have had a great time or something momentous happen it was a he 6/36
oh - glad you got it -- me neither obviously
God preserve us from americanization!
I have ran into cases in the past where publishers will refuse to even lok at your work unles you americanize it first--no colour, no arbour, no theatre, no yoghurt, etc.
ch1212 12:56 ty for dy 4/7 clue, i missed that and nan ty for he 6/36
Cybernan - I've lived in USA for 60 years and have never seen he6 spelled that way.
It's not spelled that way. It's not an "Americanization" it is just an incorrect spelling.
Hi aii I know that he 6 has been clued but still not getting it?????
back in the he 6/36 day ... just spell it the wrong way .. the ending word
DEI reporting another anti-semitic slur in grid. Was identified earlier. Oh, I forgot. There is no DEI. It makes planes crash.
Wow thanx wing???
i can't believe that's even a joke now .. our commander-in-chief is a real jokester
really makes us look stupid
Just those who voted for him. The rest of us are traumatized
scatter do you have any 'a's from the top row ?
sadly, my niece in law is a therapist, and if frustrated when she has to console ppl who are traumatized by the leader we have ... she's all in on the kool-aide
you mean a fellow therapist voted for him?
a lot of highly educated people voted for him, don't be lulled into thinking only a certain "type" is on that side
I live in a bubble.
Somerville Massachusettes.
I live in a multi-political family and friend circle
I lived in Somerville for 3 months after college... right around the corner from the Star Market, if I am remembering right
It's one of the things that makes it painful to read the chat here, is that many people I love dearly are impugned all the time by people's remarks. I know it's easy to think everyone agrees, but... :(
nrkii- it's changed A LOT since those days. Super expensive and hip and not Slummerville. Older working class and newer techies. A big art scene, and a lot of dispensaries.
Yeah, it was pretty much all working class in 1990. I shared an apartment with 3 other people and at $400 a month, it was all I could afford. If that house is still standing, the monthly heat alone is probably $400.
I have my limits. I couldn't be friends with someone who supported Il Duce or Adolph. What is going on now openly is terrifying. I keep wishing I would wake up and find it is all a crazy dream, and Kamala is President.
What street? It went through a major spasm when the subway stations added it to the rest of Boston. There was a lot of town and gown animosity. Plus tons of overdose deaths around 2000.
Well, I sympathize with how you feel. I just don't end friendships over this. I've had others end friendships with me in the past, but I just give them space and time, and they come back. Everyone has to grieve, and anger is a part of that.
An affordable apartment is $270,000 in a new building in Union Square.
I don't remember the name of the street. It was walking distance to Star Market and a little ice cream shop, but it was a bike or bus ride to get to the subway.
Oh, the original Steve's ice cream! You lived near Porter Sq.. Steve sold his name to another owner, so when he reopened he couldn't use his name Steve. Harvard Square is basically a shopping mall, with most of its many bookstores gone. And its cafes. Very beloved place
You lived around Elm St somewhere.
I hate what's happened to Harvard Square. It feels wrong to me.
Or Beacon. I have lived here since 1980, but my roots are in Flushing, Queens.
Harvard Sq Business Association has let it turn into a shallow mall. Now they are building up Union Sq, an Brazilian neighborhood of flavor and interest. Can't recognize it.
where is/was Lechmere station?
It's ok when there's building in New York because it always changes. Lechemere is near the Science Museum, and the Galleria Mall which may still be open. They now have connected the Green Line through Somerville and up to Medford I think. I haven't been on it yet!
They call Boston the Hub because to get anywhere you had to go to Park St Station in the middle, and then get another train out of the hub to your destination. Like a wheel. You can't get there from here is the slogan.
I think I lived off of Cambridge St or Somerville Ave because it was a straight shot down a very busy road to get to the Lechmere stop and head to work in Boston that Summer
Cambridge St ran from Lechemere to Inman Sq. Then it would veer off into Beacon St which was where the OLD Star Market was.
The might be boring to everyone, but it's interesting to me how cities change, and how demographics change.
Yes, I think I must have been off of Beacon. I'm probably just forgetting the Veer. :)
When you lived here, the Winter Hill Gang was still in operation.
You lived near a brick building with cemented windows, which is where the counseling offices for the methadone clinic were. Where I worked. A lot of gangland children. You know, "Mystic River,"
Not that I would have noticed the Irish mob. I grew up in a city that was very Irish vs. Italian. It was normal to me.
Here too. And Flushing too. It's because of the redlining.
Well, back to work. Nice chatting!
Work?
yeah, not all of us are retired yet.
I am not retired- I just make my own hours.
I am tired though.
I have a cat that snores louder than my husband. I had switched to another bedroom and this cat was at my head. I forgot she was in that room. I have 3 cats and they all have bedrooms.
nice
29 Helens agree promptness is important.
The Empty Nest is full of cats.
So you have a five bedroom house and three of those bedrooms belong to cats?
Lol scrabby has a bedroom just for her rabbits. :)
Hello to my fellow babblers! How's everyone doing today?
