it's a compound
Beginning with not cold?
yes
morning babblers

Got it thank you
*hugs sprite*
yw
hiya rebel *hug*
not seeing that ho 7 though
how are you settling in, rebel?
wonderfully, sprite! loving this house and all of the space! it's quiet, and the neighbors are so nice!
sounds wonderful, am so happy for you!
I'm gradually settling into the new-to-me apartment in Arlington, Virginia.
Hit three pharmacies today to get my precliptions sorted. But at least that is sorted.
hello seain
hi, sprite!
good to hear you are starting to feel at home too
the nurse chose the wrong pharmacy due to choosing the one on South Glebe Rd when I'd asked for the one on North Glebe Rd, which is much closer to me. But as things, it's not too big a deal, if inconvenient.
and this 80 year old is the first place I've felt truly at home in.
Are precliptions a quick hair cut?
I'm tired. My typing starts to fail when I'm tired.
how're you ru?
snippets before the hair runs out
hello, seain!!
Thankfully not used in circumcisions
hi ru
greetings, rebel :)
Hi DC and sprite
last night we had a BIG thunderstorm. Lit up like daylight and LOUD thunder.
no, those are peniscliptions, ru
looked up pu6.24. Oh, that's why I know that word. LOL
I'm in my 40th year of bifocals. :)
Where do you poke around to find those sprite
you need to prick up your ears to hear about sales in time
I guess you’d need that to head over there
but once you have them, it goes organically
cooee and g'day. * hugs * sprite. * hugs * seain. * hugs * ruru. * hugs * rebel. did i miss anyone??
*hugs grannyrose* g'day!
nice to see your new accommodations are so good for you rebel. and all that room to spread out. lovely!
sprite, your gorgeous blanket is on our bed. it's so light, and so warm. Don loves it, as do I.
it's so nice coming home from a tough day at school to be able to come home and just relax and spread out....
* grinning * i hear you honey.
speaking of school.....i've got class in a few hours, so i should try to get some for of sleep before then, so i should hop offline for now.
good luck all. i'll be back later on today. *hugs everyone* *poof*
sweet dreams rebel.
back. Sorry, life is interesting here atm
*hugs rose* hello darling, how are you weathering the busy easter week?
cruising it Sprite. taking my time. resting as much as possible between takes...lol it helps that gym classes are not happening as it is also school holidays. tomorrow we begin the gallop into the straight.
How are you doing? life is interesting, huh? what's going on?
:D goooooo roooooose!
Juno is here atm, we are going with her to the echo place. Caya had to work today, so Rob is driving and I will go in with Juno
i'm so glad you are there to support them. are they anxious about the echo?
yeah, and it is another doctor than the last times, so that makes it a little more stressful. Still, amazing amount of eggs, things are going very well. Friday is the operation.
i will be praying for them. please tell them. does Caya have the day off on Friday? it is a public holiday here for everyone. even those who don't believe in the Easter story.
will do. I believe Friday is an elective public holiday here, employers may decide whether or not to make it one. But yes, Caya will go with Juno, for sure, even if she has to take off time from school. She would have today too, but they are working with a skeletal crew atm, there are only 4 teachers left who are not down with flu, burnout or other illnesses.
brb. got the munchies. going to get the 'right' food before i get desperate and just grab anything. keep moving. i like the look of that thigh of yours. lol
very tasty, it is true, Spoken for though.
never mind. Don is going to the kitchen. so no temptation for me.
nothing like a nice piece of thigh, especially in bread crumbs and deep fried. with chips of course.
you have such a big fryer
hey, you are in the grid today! <3
what? squirrel?
nu7!
roflol... gee thanks.....
*happy dance*
* giggling * don't trip over those big feet of yours... typed from the next room, out of range.
*looks down at her dainty little feet* Poor Rose, so jelly.
am not! not! not!
*giggles*
new neighbours have moved in next door, finally. i have to say the elder boy, he's about 4, has a good set of lungs.
well, it is time for us to leave, it is about an hour's drive. *hugs* my darling, enjoy the holy week and keep on taking good care of my bestie.
* hugs * love to you all. tell Juno i am with them in spirit. holdong their hand.
name that delicious italian chocolate spread in the grid
nutella
ding ding ding
morning all. help with the O please
oa5
not a huge nutella fan myself
I love chocolate so I guess it's the hazelnut flavor
I love it when I typo a word into existence, i.e. ac6/24
this grid is like deja vu of yesterday's
isn't cutman a thing in boxing?
I'd say that mishop is a mishap
I finally found one -man to work. I wonder if bunnies ever do mishop
they are so busy this week, they must do
true
I thought a manx was a kind of cat
I tried that too
:)
And I've stuck all kinds of things in front of -man and only have one that worked so far.
the Manx is a proper noun
ah ha!
champ, I got the P to work, is that what you did?
sh6 and to5 too. But not really -guy words
No, but I'm not done yet with my first pass. Mine is an A
hmm
ah, then you are still in for a treat, there is a bigger one
On the last column...
hello...top N stats pls
es
I have ne5 and 6
nu7/36 is one
I can't find one single top N
actually, there are two nu7/36 from that tile

oh, both your mom or dad's siblings are in the grid
I can't even tell you how long it took me to see anything from that damn U!

Felt so stupid when I finally saw something.

babble blindness... strikes us all from time to time.

Thanks but I'll continue to muddle. Congrats sprite!
What're the stats for the 8?

Thank you!

Found my last 2 U's!
you gave me a second wind hookie
She's the wind beneath your wings!
well... I wouldn't go that far
:)
but she sure is a good sport
truth
Did she ever know that she's you're hero? She's everything you would like to be. That song makes me gag.
Every damn time! Mom has it on her list for her funeral. I've tried to talk her out of it.
not bette midler's best song for sure
I think it is really sad that those pictures of Gene Hackman's house are being tossed around the internet. Obviously those people were not being taken care of by anyone.

5 each of C, M lower S and the right P
need 8 M's too
I cleared the C's. Such a relief.

I believe spanish shirt is a mere phantom, moo
you would have to reuse the a
only greyed 4 tiles aside from the freebies
unless you mean the word for t-shirt
oh yeah, you're right
which is not there at all I don't think
too used to playing bee :)
have grayed 7 tiles
NTPN - company that makes (or made) keyboards and calculator watches
casio

NTPN(nearly) - structure that the engines of the Enterprise are on
(also an island group)
no idea on either sorry
I am lost on this C. still need 6 and out of ideas.
still 5 for me
Do you have the ca6.36 sounds like a nut
oh, just remembered a weird c4
and its plural
The one with the 6 pt tile?
the aforementioned plural is also 6/36 but doesn't sound like any nut to me
Yes. That one is the one using the 6.
ok
The other one uses the other adjacent A
Starts like money
ah, was still trying to think of what nut sounds like the other one 🤣
I actually passed up that earlier, thinking it wasn't a word :)
There is also a cu6.24
my motto is just type everything
too used to playing timed games
The others are common Cs.
that's why I'm no good at timed games such as serpentine

hi folks
welki!
hey welks, welcome to wednesday
am leaving now but it's not your fault, welki 😜
planning a short trip in july to watch my grand-daughter play in her band (she'll be on another tour) - san francisco or denver?
no hokie, you can't - not until you help me decide
well, I love SF but have heard it's not the same as it used to be
I'm a bit north of Denver
denver - you might accidentally run into moo
hopefully not in your car
lol, true
maybe at the venue :)
I don't know which I would pick
I stayed my first night in the US in SF
yeah - i'm torn. would love to have an ocean fix, but denver ... is denver
how long did you stay there, moo?
'unca
did you move here with a job or just went for it and found one?
haha - now that was pretty bad
couple of nights and then went up to Davis for the next few weeks
I've spent a lot of time in SF tho
lived in Northern CA a couple of times
I was like, what is she saying? and then realized what happened, welki. ðŸ˜
Actually I moved there because of a girl
I've only been to SF twice but loved it both times
wow, moved across the world for a girl?
yeah, I have been there too many times to count, because my ex-bro-in-law lived there
i was referring to 'unca buck *lol*
yeah
haha, welki
I guess travelling great distances to meet girls was a thing for me, ended up moving to NYC from CA for the same reason
🙃
well, I really gotta go now. playing golf this afternoon with some fun ladies. signed up for the club ladies day tomorrow so am a little nervous about that, welki. and I don't know anyone in my foursome tomorrow.
sure you'll have fun :)
well, I am usually pretty fun, so hopefully the other ladies aren't too serious.
hokie - don't overthink. just whack the ball and move on
i'm organizing the high handicappers league again this year - had so many folks messaging me, asking if i'd do it again
hello everyone :)
hiya, nan
did I read the chat correctly? Are you on your way to the states Welki?
hi rbud

rehi
hey moo
hey there welks...hope your day has been going well
moo, do you know atalante? one of the best folks on this site
I do in passing :)
be late for her
playing catch up - spent a good part of the day tuning up instruments, bought a peg winder and it made a huge difference
I'm not sure I'd even know how to start to tune an instrument :)
it takes some time and patience. i've been doing it a long time - and had two "bad" strings in the bunch - first time that's ever happened.
what kind of instruments are you tuning?
guitars and ukeleles
cool
wow, found a word
actually three words
thank you welki, i too needed that P
there's a dulcimer and banjo in the mix, but they can wait for the next round
that's a lot of stringed instruments
now hurshy's here, phantom: nacelle
i said that one this morning! :D
yeah, too many. waiting for that grandkid to come up and take some home with her
heh
yay :D
this is a rough grid
done! anyone need a clue or two?
congrats!
(i didn't finish yesterday's grid)
ooh, another word...just making stuff up now
I only finish about one a week
ec7 clue perhaps?
type of pregnancy?
thanks
but a noun instead of an adjective
only recently found that
that was more an educated guess than a straight out guess like my l6
enjoy the evening, babblers - bye for now!
4-1-10-3 That's a big 6 number
ttfn welki
seeya welki, enjoy
well there's one 6
*groan* two of my S words were EXTREMELY normal

found a 4
4th column greyed...first row/column
I wonder if a knight could unmace someone
Tried it and no go
