morning babblers
omg 19? Never. Uh-huhng.
yeah. and 9 of them are kh. good morning dear friend. giggling at sprite's discombobulation.
lol. *hugs* my darling, I found 13 so far so I am hopeful.
just found my 19th k word. it has to be a made up one. never seen it before.
lakh
well there went my hopefulness, thanks LOLOL
sorry. it's sprite's fault 'cos i'm chatting to her. * blows a raspberry * so there
I will gracefully accept the blame
* snort *
one more K *smug*
rather a high percentage of foreign rulers in the Ks
ks killed
humpfff. smarty pants
*happy dance* Rose likes my pants, rose likes my pants!
R O F L O L
oh for goodness sakes! my last word... it's the drugs i tell you. it's the drugs
tomorrow we go to Caya and Juno's to celebrate Caya's birthday and graduation
lolol you just keep telling yourself that!
how lovely sprite. please pass on my best wishes and congrats to her.
will do! Her flowers will still be standing, no doubt. So lovely of you.
who's doing the cooking?
it would be amazing if they are. it would mean a little of me will be with you all.
they are. We are expected for lunch. Both Juno and I are not much good in the evenings, so we tend to celebrate family stuff in the afternoons. I think there will be soup and lovely sandwiches.
sounds good to me. and i hear you about evenings.
next week on tuesday, Caya will receive her diploma from the school and we will attend. I am hoping it won't be in the evening, but am expecting it to be. But for Caya... I will do an evening ;)
yeah, I am in bed by 7 pm. My body will not let me stay upright much longer. It is what it is.
yes i know you will. pics please.
oh dear. I will try! Rob and I are notoriously bad at taking pics.
i force myself to stay up.
use the force sprite, use the force...lol
not doing that anymore. Am listening to my body and giving it the rest it needs. Forcing myself has lead to very bad things in the past.
the forgetfulness is strong in this one
or if in doubt, use mine.... sending it over now. just pop it in the freezer. it will keep for sometime...
has led. Darn, that english spelling is so quirky!
you about done?
let me see. 92 words left so no.
of course it is sprite. * pats sprite gently *
oh okay. just need to step away for a short time. xoxox
all good, honey. Will be here for some time.
hmmmm... strange.... the floor between my chair and the potty room is completely clear. do you think someone got the guilts from last night?
sounds like someone finally got the freakin' message. At last. We have this saying here... after the calf has drown, they fill up the well.
giggle... like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.
yeah, same meaning
btw i am at 12 weeks post but thanks to Gp my pain levels are not too bad. the worst areas are my shoulders, and my upper back muscles. Don has been rubbing them with Painaway cream for me.
going in the 11th March.
awesome. That is really good news
that is reasonably soon
the day i come out we are going to my cousin's party celebrating his 70th. you know. the one who fell through his garage roof.
he is so lucky he can still celebrate!
yeah i know. his wife has him wrapped in bubble wrap..lol
lol that is what Rob is threatening me with
speaking of the man. is it appropriate to send the thingy to help him put his socks on? he really does not have to bend down at all to do that simple task.
we have tried several and none worked for him
Don uses his all the time. it can be used either sitting or standing. i'm so frustrated that i can't send a pick to you.hmmm. maybe i can on whatsapp. let me try now i have been using whatsapp's abilities some more.
yes, you can, and you can also send me a link to the webpage, if you have one.
look at our rose, getting more digitally literate all the time!
aww stop it...i'm still a dumb ass.
yeah well... you know I never will contradict you...
giggling so hard...with a friend like you who needs an enemy.
ikr? All in one package LOL
hmmmm. fingers in ears...lalalalala
economicass is my name...
mmmmm.... such a pretty ass
:D
hmphfffff no intranet. Stupid enable. Take a page out of Rose's book... get your ass in the 21st century...
*sends in the tow truck *
well it was to be expected. No internet. So also no intranet. Nor email.
fireflies. That was a toothy grid. Too many Ks but otherwise fun.
*hugs rose* Sleep well, darling, and take care. Love you.
WTG SPRITE !!
love you. * hugs *
Good morning, Babblers. :)
howdy crossy, 2 hours later
well, I assume this p is a PH but I sure can't find it
Ends in mr. Hawthorn
thanks, luv
I had to come back to that one and peek at the stats to get it.
not a regular word for me
And no def...super helpful. Although, if you stick hy in front of it...that's a word!
well, surprisingly I've done better on this K than most of the other tiles. this is not going well.
I still need 5 there. Too many Ks!!!
yeah, I still need 4
we've had the ph7 before
my first word actually
for most people it's mama or dada
LOL~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but for you, I can see it
Ru was precocious.
I'm sure of that
haha! nice to come into the chat laughing! carla, that was great :D
hey welki
funny carla
hello all...
pen!
and hello nancy
and I never officially greeted champ and ru!
Good morning everyone! Just found James T Kirk's nemesis.
he had a nemesis? I thought they were somewhere else every week. (didn't watch that much)
carla!
Ricardo Montalban played one in one of the movies.
nemesis as in the wrath of .....
ah, yes I have those
found a weird w4 but just need one w
I need 6 4's.
I have 11-15-15-6-1
Just found one...probs the one you just got.
not liking the looks of those 6s
darn, thought for sure whenst was my missing one
hello...clue for the sp6?
thanks phae
like the round thing but change a cons
a round thing?
lol
worked for me, thanks!
yep, the one that starts with sp
not a spball or a spglobe
Is that the only sp?
ty
still need 7 S's!
So many ways to go on the S...
I know ðŸ˜
i am missing one s and it's impossible to find
I need 2
is it the sn5 I just found?
huh, never knew what that meant
it was a st6
any sh?
no
I have 2 st6, any more?
I have 3 so far
phantom streak
3 st6's
the only st 6 i have is like your phantom....same letters....
well the first three columns are now grey
that's one of the ones I have, but thanks. the other is a greek? latin? plural or maybe just a prefix.
wtg! I have 6/30 6/21 and 6/18
thanks, champ
oh, just found a compound word!
now just 2 s's away from a grayed col or row
found my W - last col gray!
and bottom row
go carla go!
I'm missing one la6 - driving me nuts -
Do you have the one with the double vowels?
still have 8 L's left. I do have one that ends in someone under 20 but older than 13.
I greyed the top N. =)
go, bea!
bea!
woot woot
gmorning
hi hursh...
hey hurshy
There's a 6/7 combo that's similar and has double cons
ok, I have one IR. are the rest IN? still need 1.
I have those
i have found 122 words and have only grayed that N... ;o)
this is a tough grid, I don't care what anyone says
il4, carla
thanks bea. not sure I've seen that
carla have you got il4/8?
sug, are you looking for la6/30?
omg, I got it LOl grayed the l's LOL
you have seen it
it's scottish
nice. still need 4 L.
Thanks for that il bea!
just because I'm mostly scottish ancestry doesn't mean I've seen all the scottish words!
funny though, i found the ir and the il but none of the in yet lol
well, there's a set that looks like a misspelling and a single regular IN
Yest, the 7/8 looks weird to me.
now just 8 F's to gray top row ðŸ˜
because it's archaic, champ!
ty
found 4 f's
i know that hokie i just mean that i know we've had it in past grids and therefore i believe you've seen it
I guess my mind has blocked it out
plus it is included in one of the little house books because it is in the lyrics of "comin' through the rye" and there's a bit where they are singing that while pa plays the fiddle
I might have read some of the books once when I was a kid
I read a lot but didn't reread many IIRC
not a bad puzzle except for the k's and a few s's
oh this fi5 reminds me of a bizarre scam attempt i got the other day. i had commented on a post on FB asking about favorite couple in a Jane Austen novel, and i plumped for Admiral and Mrs Croft - so, not a Colin Fi5 role, and then this account called something else Fi5 replied "you seem to be a big fan of my dad, can we talk, i have something special to tell you" or something along those lines. and i was like... first of all, nobody mentioned "your dad" and second of all i didn't even mention a role he played and third of all WHO WOULD FALL FOR THIS
no one's buying it, ruru
I know, those are rampant. a lot of times I report them.
hursh, I always wonder what kind of person gets sucked into those. So annoying!
i blocked it
now just 2 F's away on top row
ooh, top row gray!
i mean i had one that i reported the other day, that was CLEARLY impersonating a verified account, and FB decided not to take action. and i'm like, ok, if you won't take action on that one, there's no point in reporting these things.
well we had neil here for Awhile and it was up in the air if he was real or not
and molly could still be a bot🤣
and he was "related" to someone famous
carla, what's my missing F?
hmm, there are a lot of sets
your missing f is fi5/16 likely
the singles are 4s and 5s babblets
that or the 4 was my guess
the 4 is an athletic shoe/clothing brand
have it
you have the 5 too?
That was it! thx
well i needed that 5 so it didn't go to waste
but i still need five more besides lol
huh, today I learned f4 is a south korean brand
always thought it was italian
news to me
two now
got 'em
top row grey
now looking for 7 h's to gray 4th row
thanks for the f5
<---he nailed CHamp's missing F :D
<---missing word savant
LOL
you are pretty good at it
these cats, man
I was guessing that too, though, just talked a lot before typing it in.
We brought the cat tree into the living room this week. Quill is content.
ok, mr missing word savant, guess my 2 s's
well we have a stray that comes around occasionally and if he does it absolutely ENRAGES my opie
taking a break to go get bagels....bye for now....
st7/28 x two likely
bye pen!
I have one
see ya!
there are three hokie
this morning i heard a bunch of noise and yowling so i get out of bed and go check and sure enough there is the stray outside the window and opie yowling at him angrily, having knocked over a lamp and another decorative lighting thing as well as a scented wax melter thing, so it was a big mess
three st7
of course there are
clue for ti6? just can't see it
<... whispers... .savant
oh i need that one too phae
it's a ti 5 not six
He is just trying to alert you to the meance.
me too...looking
ti + most of large water area
no, he is NOT trying to alert me, he is expressing his frustration that he cannot kill the menace. he did NOT give him permission to exist on the other side of HIS window.
I haven
thx, def. didn't have that
thanks, ru.
haven't seen that before ru....thx
have you considered drugs for opie
luckily, for a change, fritz had had the sense to stay back further from opie, because normally opie takes his rage out by attacking fritz, since he can't get at Dennis
or kitty therapy?
you might have seen it, champ, just not the word for it
i haven't, but, i do put out coffee grounds sprinkled around the grass sometimes, which are supposed to help repel cats
and bring cockroaches .. don't do that hursh
found one of the s7
unfortunately i had waited a little too long to put more out this time
Yes, but didn't know the word.
but it does generally help
you might also bring some yuppies looking for starbucks too
we haven't got a starbucks in our town :(
thanks ru...probably why I couldn't find it lol
wow you're blessed
we almost got one and then something went awry and we got a stupid car wash instead
Did you see the comment about starbucks this week?
I think starbucks coffee is terrible
i mean i'd rather have a nice little local cafe but we haven't got that either
all we have is dunkin
we have at least 15 starbucks here in town.. probably more I don't know about
we have them in grocery stores but can't think of a standalone anywhere nearby
of course the grocery stores are all 20+ min drive
what was the comment bea?
i don't drink coffee myself so that aspect doesn't matter. i go for the tea and cocoa based drinks, though, and i like the croissants
i have to get the coffee grounds from my mom, just to have them to put out
They're everywhere here, including inside stores. Our Kroger and Target both have them.
okay, for ST7, I have the sky one and the suet related one. what's the 3rd?
i forgot we do have a local place but it's weird. it doesn't have a normal cafe kind of vibe, the ambience is more like a bar.
bea?
lol, bea left you hanging
suet? What about one who follows you?
he said st7/28
That's the sky one. I have 2 7/44's and the 7/28
Sorry. I was trying to find it, but can't. Since I can't quote it correctly, I wont.
I have 2 7/28 now so there's at least 2
Hence the suet clue.
woot, got all the 8s!
yeah, I have the suet and the sky. he said I need one more st7/28.
Was it a comment here or something in the news?
In the new, Molly.
starbucks are closing locations for sure in a lot of areas in California
their coffee is just awful so no loss to me. I never go to one
ok, ruru..what about my 2 H's?
unless I'm desperate
did you get the st7's hookie?
no, still need one
All I see is that they have a new CEO, declining sales and are bringing out a new, compost-able cup which people are not happy about. I'm guessing because it will be sort of like a paper straw.
That sounds like an awful idea!
you have ha 6/33 and 7./48 hookie?
I love coffee but have never been a Starbucks fan. People who like Starbucks like their sugar infused drinks.
ha, had the 6 but not the 7
I agree, Molly. Why pay that price for a black coffee?
call me weird but i make my own coffees and drink them at home (mostly)
i don't like starbucks coffee either, tho I knew my neighborhood gentrified when they opened one 2 blocks away
it's funny you say that, molly, because i like the iced teas and fruit flavored things, and i find them nice, whereas the DUNKIN beverage offerings are super cloying. so if you think the starbucks ones are sugary then whatever you do, do not try dunkin ones
ok, looked at the S on the list - ruh roh had me wild goose chasing. I need a 5.
we don't have dunkin out here
Yeah, I do too Ru. Simply because it's cheaper and better. But if I was going to buy a cup of coffee I would choose Dunkin over Starbucks any day.
we have a crappy donut place here with awful stuff
ah, thought that 5 was a phantom because I couldn't look other directions
tim hortons is actually my go to in canada
ah... living in the country that'll do it everytime
I drink black coffee. Starbucks is way too bitter. Dunkin has a nice blend.
it's even way too bitter to add creamer
<--black coffee here too
we buy the dunkin and make at home
5-4-6-2-1
I used to buy Dunkin beans until the price skyrocketed.
I have tried Tim Hortons and don't get the Canadian ga-ga behavior over that place.
I've read canadians just go because it's there, not that they think it's spectacular
i don't get the ga-ga behavior either but I prefer it to Starbucks, plus it's cheaper
I Thought TIm Horton's were nothing special as well
Ori and I tried some when we were in Vancouver two years ago
well, if we're talking about restaurants like that, ruru...I hated In N Out. Thought it was terrible and terribly overrated.
i don't even know what this suet word is that you mentioned hokie
I've never tried In and Out
I'm not a junk food eater as a rule
i would say the same about shake shack, it's fine but not that awesome
suet comes from a stomach lining... right?
something about a white chrystalline substance yada yada tallow and suet
No, suet is the ground fat from animals.
well that clears it right up lol
yeah, we had shake shack in charlotte area. it was okay.
sounds like what you do to turn a car + not out
hurshy, it ends in what you use on fallen leaves
thx!
np
you guys appear to be talking about different words
I was married to a Canadian who talked about Tim Horton's like it was the second coming of coffee shops.
We are. sorry.
I'm talking about one of the st7/28. bea is talking about ST6/30
yes, and i was able to get the suet one, and i already had bea's one
so i guess i still need whatever third st7/28 you need, hokie
there aren't 3. I don't know what ruru counted.
I'll be quiet.
oh ok
chat is confusing this morning lol
please don't, bea
The other st7 are more bleak and to do with twinklers
and the person who follows you
there are three st sevens hokie
which, by the by, seems like should allow us to have the person who is followed, also
oops there are four actually
there are FOUR st sevens!
you told me there are 3 st7/28. I said I had the st7/44
well, both of them
missed the top one
I have 4
ke
there are two st 7/28
ok then i will stop seeking st7s
yes, we know😜
There are 2 44's
ooh, first 2 and last col gray
This is getting like Who's On First

Our volcano is erupting.
is it ... a minor eruption or major? are you in danger?
society has failed to prepare me for this, i feel like i don't know what are the right questions to ask if someone's volcano is erupting
Oh my God Hurshy. She is cluing a word.
o.0
Ty for all the KH clues.
And the PH as well. :)
Was very twisty that one.
Took me forever to find E+ Mr. hawthorne. :/
N.B.T at last. :)
Did anyone find the pangram in Spelling Bee today? I got to the genius level, but just can't find it.
yes, ch
If so, would you clue it? I don't want to use an anagrammer.
