morning babblers
phantom: tangram

good morning and * hugs * sprite. running around like a scalded cat here. going away three days tomorrow. travelling for over 4 hours. leaving straight after physio at 2:15 so i have to have everything done and dusted before i leave the house at 9am.
hi sweetie, sounds like a lot. Take care and hugs.
yeah it is going to be hectic, but once we're on the road i'll be able to relax. taking a break every 2 hours this time.
you make sure you do... no repeat of last trip!
my cousin is celebrating her 100th. can't miss that can i?
no, that is amazing and something to celebrate for sure. Here, when someone turns 100, they get a visit from the mayor!
yes sprite. hence the 2 hour stints and not 3 hour. also himself realises why his thigh muscles hurt so much is because HE was sitting in the same [position for too long.
smart man. Good to see some synapses are firing there :D :D
she is supposed to have received a congratulatory card or whatever from King Charles. looking forward to seeing that.
fireflies
WTG SPRITE !!!
have a terrific time, honey, and please take care of yourself during. Love and hugs.
love and hugs back at you sweetie.
acin g
sorry
howdy folks. I see you ruru and mael, supreme word nerds.
*hand signals hokie*
30 left. need the bottom corner E for HOET. this is a tough one today. BBL.
Hand what?
it is a tougher little grid
hello!
I'm working my way right to left today, apparently
hi mael
it's a nasty one today
hey ru
stuck on two t's one g and one m
I have a clue for the ta7 that's a good one
ohh can you share please?
I don't have that one
I can't believe tagine is not recognized
ta7 what astronauts do with vodka
Gross
I used to know a guy in college who mixed Vodka and Country Time Lemonade Mix. Again, gross.
(in sippy cups) :D
I don't get it! is this something that I need to have played beer pong to understand lol
the only vodka I can drink is in lemon drops... from lemons from my tree
it might be too old a reference for you mael..
but look at me finally seeing the gerund ending hahahaa
Seriously? There are people that didn't know that astronauts drank _____?
I'm not a big vodka fan in general
Vodka and gin give me the eebie geebies
oh.. gin? really?
ta7/36 or ta7/44? I don't even know what those words mean alas, I just monkeyed them
I love gin and vodka, my favorite cocktail is a vodka drink with juniper
ta 7/36 deals with treating leather hides
yeah I figured it was related
7/36 is a leather process. 7/44 is the act of making something more puckery
how do you add the juniper?
I make a tincture, put juniper berries in vodka for a few months
oh.. that's interesting
Juniper is why I don't like gin
that'd be great with Gin and tonics
I love juniper taste in gin..
I stole the recipe from a long closed restaurant in boston: it's essentially a gimlet. Vodka, juniper tincture, sage simple syrup and lime juice
you must have been a deer in a past lifetime MOlly :D
haha
how am
how many months do you cure the juniper?
Anthony's?
I've seriously found almost a dozen gerunds, how was I even working on this grid before. doh.
that really sounds like something I'll try to do.. if I can find juniper berries
two for best results, but you can get a good tincture in a few weeks if you're in a rush!
they sell them at the store with spices
we use them in brine too, for turkey or chicken
the restaurant was Craigie on Main, I guess technically Cambridge not Boston.
the drink was called an ardoise, we've made it for years now
you make a simple syrup with fresh sage?
phantom: anagram
I make a rosemary syrup..
yep, boil a mixture of water and sugar, then add a whole bunch of fresh sage leaves and let it steep for half an hour off the heat
then store in the refrigerator
rosemary syrup pink grapefruit juice (fresh) campari, vodka, with a rosemary sprig
ohhh i should try rosemary syrup too
I bet it tastes delicious in cocktails
it's great
I need to get some sage this weekend :D
another phantom, anathema
these damn As are still vexing me
You all make drinking way too complicated. Pour liquor in a glass, drink. So simple. Right to the point.
I like refreshing drinks in the summer here.. I drink Scotch straight most of the winter.. I do like my manhattans though on weekends but that's only a few ingredients
eh, I mostly drink beer straight :)
I can't drink beer. I get migraines from drinking beer. I do like Guiness a lot...not really a beer fan
I do have a drink you can try Mael: bourbon, lemon juice allspice liquor, apple cider over shaved ice.. (it's called an Apple crisp.. it's fantastic..like drinking an apple pie
that sound delicious
it is fantastic if you just use the right amount of the allspice liqueur .. the lemon just makes it awesome
I'll definitely try it
FW!

Hello, friends

So now a Turkish doctoral student has been taken into custody by ICE, apparently because she co-wrote an article that criticized her university's administration's response to the Palestine protests.
yeah, from Tufts, right?
Yes - but Trump's administration LOVES free speech, just as long as you don't say anything they don't like.
Like the original Ford cars - any color you like, as long as it's black
they prefer it so free that russia and china can easily spy on it, in fact
How long before they start arresting Americans for saying things Trump doesn't agree with? He's already said a judge should be impeached for ruling against the administration in deporting Venezuelans to an El Salvador prison, allegedly because they're gang members, but without any inconvenient criminal charges or "due process"
i think they already have
The big new scary thing with Trump and comany is that they now plan on lifting sanctions on Russian fertilizer, and modifyinying U.S infrastructure so that deliveries can be made more easily. I think he took a hard look at our potash "hole card," his own looming April 2nd deadline, and panicked. So now he plans on feeding the Russian war machine U.S dollars. :(
i mean there was that group of Jewish protesters that occupied Trump Tower in NYC, in protest of the arrest of the Columbia student, some of whom were Holocaust survivors themselves... i thought they arrested them, but i suppose they might have just forced them out of the building without arresting them
Well, this Turkish student apparently hasn't even been to any physical protests, so they can't claim she was being obstructive, or some such. She just helped write some opinions they don't like.
they are so evil
what IS potash, anyway
A combination of potassium salt and potassium carbonate and is used as a base for fertilizer
Farmers often rely on potash for food production.
So, potash equals food, and Trump is screwing with it.
But it is what I would consider one of the "last resort" cards to be used.
Along with the exported electricity, and the nuclear medicine materials that come only from our Chalk River facility.
For those are the Chalk River reactor makes for some real interesting reading. It is one of our oldest reactors still functioning. The only other reactor I know of that is used soley for medical purposes is the small one located at McMaster University, but it is mostly for training purposes.
For those interested, the Chalk River...*
it's a sad world after all it's a sad world after all it's a sad world after all it's a sad, sad world
does anyone have both of the right col A words? i have the throat-clearing one
there's an ax
ty again gillie!
1-1-1-1
got the 5!
got the 4!
got the 6!
that leaves a T7
Yeah, the Ukraine ceasefire agreement is being called "Russian art of the deal" - really consists almost entirely of concessions to Russia - easing sanctions on Russia, allowing Russia to inspect Ukrainian ships, Ukraine agrees to stop attacks on Russian warships - it's not clear what Ukraine gets, really
Ukraine gets shafted. :(
about the only thing you can say for Ukraine is, hey, at least they're not in Gaza
That is why the powers that be had that meeting recently--to organize support for Ukraine without U.S participation.
A comparison would be Russia deciding one fine day that they want Alaska back, and the rest of the word saying that the war is your fault and you must make concessions.
With Gaza - Israelis by and large don't even support Netanyahu in the war (60% to 70% in recent polls want him to resign), but he has to keep it up because otherwise he would lose the support of hardliners who keep him in power.
haha at this point that is what the rest of the world WOULD say, crossy!
Well nothing makes a contry more uoset than a superpower country threatening to soften them up with tarriffs, then an
Upset* ...then threaten to take them over*
but crossy, how else can we prevent the drug smuggling? <-- in my most sarcastic voice
Lol. trump should look up the actual percentage of fentanyl (sp) that flows from north to south. As I understand from customs, it is kess than 1%
Less*
Trumps end goal would only make the issue worse. With no border, the tiny ammount that does cross the border would end up not get intercepted.
my brother and other friends in Canada said that this has united Canadians like nothing else has
Your brother is right.
Trump has made us come together as a country, eliminate inter-provincal trade barriers, and realize that it is no longer in our best interest to put all of our trade eggs in one basket.
We have a new reactir ciming on line, we are testing a new LNG faccility so we can fill E,U ir
now the important stuff ...
stats for the lone O, U, and E pls?
Slol
i don't like this grid of singles

I hate it when journalists and other people who should know better keep saying fentynol.
thx hursh, now to work on getting those singlets
I msy have to install the "Dragon Naturally Speaking" program onto my devices soon. :/
The Turkish student was abducted in MY neighborhood. There was a rally in the part around the corner. It was attended by thousands. It got a little co-opted by the Free Palestine people, but the point was made that this was an abduction, Fascist style.
:(
I live a few minutes walk from the Tufts campus. When I was feeling better, it was my hike. Now I am a little afraid of walking there. Fear wins, we all lose.
:(
what a waste of a badly placed ing
Indeed
my question is: are we simply putting tarrifs on because Canada has them on our products? and same for elsewhere? trump keeps sayung it is reciprical....but how would i know? anyone know out there in babble land? and if so do you know it is correct? i am so untrusting now of anything i read or hear.
I will give you one example, mkg, just give me a moment to type..
ok
Trump is angry at our dairy tarriffs, and in return has imposed a 250% tarrif on Canadian milk. What he does not tell you is that our tarriff does not come into play untill a certain wuota has been met, and that limit has never been reached. He gives you half of the facts to suit his agenda.
Quota*
got it.
Many of his tarriff excuses are exactly like this.
any help for the u word welcome.
Also production methods fro Canada abpnd the U.S are totally different; the U.S allows the use of a specific hormone so that the cows over-produce non-stop. We find that this is not good for the cows, so we moderate our oroduction so that only the ammount of mike that is needed zt any given time is oroduced,
Sigh..just translate. Lol
U sounds like something that might be radioactive or might be from the 7th planet?
Lol. Just my hands shaking. No aliens here.
got it crosshair. the us uses too many chemicals. and these hormones probably come through the milk which is not good. ugh. our world is such a mess.
i am in Puerto Rico now babysitting for grandkids. i was up for two nights with kids and slept in so now am going to the beach and pool to relax til 3 pm when they arrive home. i hope tonight is calm and quiet. i need one night of uninterupted sleep.
ty DS927

Very nice, mkg. As a cancer survivor, please wear sunscreen,
It's me mkg :-) I had clued "u"

K, that is good then.

Ty for the ur word.
Great clue.

Because getting cancerous moles cut out of your belly is not fun--trust me on that one.
I have a question. All the things I write in here are in very small print. Who would I ask about this?
mkg there is an an8 but I don't have it
It would be your accessability setting for fonts in your computer.
i have probably had over 25 moles removed. Thankfully all benign but large and ugly. many on my face done by a great pastic surgeon. hopefully all will be benign forever.
You can change your font size there
i am also darker skinned which is good. two of my kids have whiter skin. not good . they are careful.
any clues for bottom corner E word welcome. ty.
ty crossy, but I have no idea how to do that
Go to You Tube, and type in changing font in accessabilty settings, and you will find a walk through that explains it better than Zi can here.
wait, crossy, I think that worked
Yaa!
tyvm
Nice! :)
i seem to get fed up with grids that are difficult. cant find bottom corner e word nor the 8. so off to the beach and pool.
Enjoy! :)
The an8 looks very much like an Italian liqour
Fir all I know it is.
I dont drink those things. My booze need to produce a blue flame, work as an antiseptic, and be able to run a car in a pinch. :)
an8 is plural of an7
that is, plural of an7:28
yes :)
An 7 is also known as the lip-stick tree apparantly. Never heard of it before.
clue for the bottom corner E pls?
I need this as well. :/
en6

Howdy, Cybernan. :)
I'm still not seeing that an 8 --- only Italian liqueurs I know are Frangelico and Limoncello

No damage at all from the storm last night on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. Not even a power outage. But some cracking thunder and lightning! How about BC/WA/OR friends?
I guess I should change my "tag" as I'm back in Seattle, after 25 years in Portland....
going full seatac?
we're getting lots of rain but no wind. Welcome the rain as it is supposed to be a scorching summer and the ground is already really dry -- hopefully with more of the wet stuff there won't be as many fires
