Thanks Lickety. Morning babblers
Hi Sprite
hiya Rainiqui!
Hi all!
hi Rose
Hoping to get half-way before bed.
should be doable, it flows pretty well, this grid
missing some e's for NBT but made it to half at least.
good job
nbt, nbs, so 8 and al 9
wow, great Rainqui!
Thank you ~ I was sitting on the 9 for a while but it took forever to get the 8
Still looking for the 9.
aah! got it!
Finally: NBT/NBS! Those e's were challenging. But I got 'em now. Sweet dreams all.
night Roses
fireflies and poofing
staring at the grid with one eye shut (as one does) and amazed myself by knowing that mo6/24 was actually a word! The trivia my brain can hold onto, when some days I can't even recall my doctor's name without a fair amount of thought!
ive got the so8 can anyone clue me the otherone please
ok monkeyed it. ty
clue for the last me 6 plz
me6 ends in abbreviation for Sacramento state and involves the high point tile
It's a liquor similar to Tequila
tks molly ! finally got it
good morning. help with either 8 please
got the re8
got the s08 it is a compound. the re8 is a piquant sauce
morning, all! can someone clue me the re8, please?
nevermind, i just monkeyed it out.
I'm surprised everyone is having to guess at that re8. I guess not many here eat southern US food.
nope, molly, and i live in the south! lol!
I have a bottle of that stuff in my place at all times. Wouldn't eat hush puppies without it.
Hush Puppies is a shoe brand here in India :)
It is a shoe brand here too. Named after a southern fried food.
Greetings
I dont have either 8 so would love help. Dont know what a piquant sauce is. And dont know southern food.
I have seen piquant sauce listed on a menu but dont remember what it is.
Who said it was piquant sauce?
See below molly. I just got that re 8.
The re word is spelled wrong. Needs a u in it.
The spelling here is a variant spelling. And no one said anything about piquant sauce.
Peri @ 7:00
hmm, that 2nd row i looks hard
Any clues for the al 9?
Sorry, I came in after Peri's comment. Piquant and re8 are two different things.
Nm got the 9.
piquant is an adjective 1 having a pleasantly sharp taste or appetizing flavour. 2 pleasantly stimulating or exciting to the mind.
so re8 could very well be piquant
in spanish, picante is spicy
with a little bit of magic, you will find the al9: it is a plural
so if one remembers, there were ads for Pace Picante sauce back in the day
In cooking, piquant sauces are usually tomato based
Merriam Webster: The meaning of PIQUANT SAUCE is a sauce with a sharp flavor (as from lemon juice, vinegar, capers, spices) - you learn something every day!
and vi7 feels like its the start of a piquant soup :)
lol....just found that word...hello all....
hi pen!
hi, Ata....
enable doesn't do image analysis, dehaze is def a thing!
enable doesn't do lots of things... ;o)
:D v true!
it doesn't toodle either :D
true!
or oodle!
i think it does oodles....
good start
Good morning, Bbblers. :)
Babblers*
hey crossy
hi crossy...
For those following, our choc lab is recovering well from his T.P.L.O surgery. :)this is day four post-op, and he is moving well, putting weight on it, and is suprising us with how fast he is recovering. He is a good boy!
good boy!
very nice, crossy!
Just wish they were not so savage with the shaving. The surgical site is about four inches in kength, but they pretty much shaved his whole back quarter!
well i am sure they do that as a precaution...don't want an infection!
Length*
You are right. He is on antibiotics, gavapentin, another pain med, and an oral liquite to fight swelling.
Liquid*
sounds like he is well taken care of...
We are empty nesters, so he is our fur baby. :)
i figured that... ;o)
name?
His name is Sebastian, and he is seven years old.
great name :)
His sister is Rhyleigh Rose.
that name clearly has a story with it?
My beloved just loved the name and the spelling of it.
fair enough :D
She was also born on Feb 14th.
She is five years old
chocolate too?
We do not anticipate this issue with her as she is a full thirty pounds lighter and a full head shorter than her brother--yes, she is aso a chocolat.
Born two years apart--same mum, but different da.
gorgeous :)
Well, as they say, we do not deserve dogs. :)
a
so true!
Ou can see a very recent pic of our boy on my beloveds FB (vicki ann)
You*
awww he's gorgeous
He's our big boy. :)
with a pound less fur now!
Yup. It is starting to grow back in now. :)
Already the leg is so much steadier than before. :)
to 6/27?
s
Did not find that, but found a nice to 7/36 :)
sorry, don't have that TO word....
oh...it's a pt....
a pt without a singular...
to6/27 past tense of a man's name
same start
I guess it pertains to drumming
ty
hmmm I only know one long word starting in ald and aldehyde isnt there
d
or is it alc. ponders.
i have an AL 6/21...
the AL 7....pl....think turning metals into gold....
SORRY....it's AL 9 that I just clued...
we never seemed to practice typing the numbers when I had typing in high school.... ;oP
ty pen, got the AL9...after several attempts !
yw...
well i am down to 35...time for a break....bye all....
later pen
The numbers require a bigger finger stretch and are the ones that need the most practicing.
monkeying monkeying lol
bbl for last 47 - have a great day all - "poof"
Well cant seem to see the e word for the e in fifth column. Any help welcome.
ahhh *that* c
Oops got it.
Any clues for el 6? Ty
take the 4 letter word for an inspiration and change the first letter, then tack it on to the el
is the so8 a compound?
don't know
I found it. It appears to be a compound, but not one I ever saw before. To me it is two unrelated words
yes, it a compound
oh joy!
huh. yes. weird
(obsolete or dialect) Some part; a portion, something; some
the re8 is similarly obscure, an alternate spelling for a creole type sauce.
Yeah at first that song wasn’t going to be Lady Marmalade
Ru, you cook. Are re8 and sauce piquant the same thing?
No. They aren’t
you can get hazchem in this grid!! not allowed of course
Thank you
it amused me
Remolade has mayonnaise in it. Piquant does not
Cajun piquant is similar but is vinegar based
oh these annoying american spellings
Well, I knew that but there was a bit of a "discussion" here claiming they were the same
Most piquant sauces are tomato based
most sauces in general are :)
There are several sauces that don't include tomato at all
hence the use of "most" not "all"
which you back up by use of "several" ;)
Found the cajun sauce. Ty, swmbo. :)
help with E on bottom row please
Creole*
take the 4 letter word for an inspiration and change the first letter, then tack it on to the el
huh
<—- Broken-hearted that the lower D & T are not reversed. I coulda/woulda been wearing the tiara today.
I was so wanting you to be there!
Howdy, Soodles. :))
when I saw the grid I thought you were in the grid, soodle
Hi all, said she, adjusting the imaginary tiara. :-)
i found the el6 ty
Good Morning
Morning, Christa. :)
firebirds :)
Yaa!
@crosshair, how are the fur baby doing after surgery?
Well done Ata
wd Ata
He is doing very well. My beloved has made her FB page public so you can see his progress. It is now also on my FB
Tough part is stoping him from running around.
anyone want any cluuuues that don't involve piquancy?
Pup just wants to get back to his old routine, so we have to crate him every so often to slow him down.
That re 8 spelling reminds me of that three-fruit jam. :)
Still looking for that al9...
go up, not down
Ty, Ata--I was going the wrong way. :)
sounds familiar!
lol @ ata @ 10:58
for lunch today i decided to have tuna melts with CAMEMBERT!
i hope the french would not be too offended
how very dare you
ON (english) muffins
I hope its sustainably caught tuna
hey that's america for you, a tuna-camembert-melting-pot
i will have to check the cans in a minute to see ata
as you can imagine, this lunch is Very Interesting to kittens
it should be, but trump probably decided that ALL THE TUNA can be caught
tuna and cheese what could be better for kitties
idk, he's more focused on humans and fossil fuels and crypto than on tuna
though he opened up an enormous marine protected area to fishing, that'll be a lot of tuna
the one by hawaii? i think a court has blocked that for now
oh really> thank goodness for that
ok it says MSC certified sustainable
dolphin safe
perfect. well done :)
do you have both 2nd row i words? i have is6 but not the other
same first 3 letters
well i kinda thought that
the same amount of a metal
NO idea what it means
ok thanks
apparent it is a noun that refers to a curved line on a ballistic graph for hitting a moving target
ha, kust looked up the same :)
who knew
pity, i was thinking it was about the loneliness of kings
isolaze = levels of indolence on a sunday afternoon
I learnt a new word today outwith babble
A soliton is a self-reinforcing, localized wave packet that maintains its shape and speed while propagating, even after interacting with other solitons.
whereas as a solitract is a frog
very true!
did you see my fb reposted post on peter capaldi? it was so good
very nice - i like the description of matt smith as a manic pixie dream boy lol
I know! just perfect. he has elf ears
they did some renovations on a movie theater that i drove by today
and it now says CINEMA DE LUX
and i was like ummmm
oh ... cinema of light?!
did you not watch the latest season? episode "Lux"?
no! I haven't watched the latest seaon yet :(
oh, well, when you do, you will understand why i went ummmm
ok :D
have you seen the show "Code of Silence"
I don't think so
it stars Rose Ayling-Ellis
who was also in an episode of Who this last season
she's amazing
yeah, and this show focusing on her, it's nice, gives you a little more sense of the experience of being a person who is deaf
she was in our strictly come dancing or similar, I think it gave a lot of people a lot to think about
oh, well, we had a deaf guy win it here in the US. first he won Top Model, then he won the dance one
Nyle DiMarco
i saw that Alex Kingston is going to be on your one too
apparently so!
i bet she'll be fun to watch
I might even have to watch it for her
this lower C is Clobbering me
there's some interesting words in there
crab claw(s), american body cavities etc
uh...
:D
and a wasp
what i have is the peoples of the two flags you and i have here (and other places), and a guy's name, and ca4, and that's it
are any of those the ones you said?
nope
ok
and a weird spelling of a small onion
i always like to make sure i'm not looking for stuff i already have
ooh now the onion one i understand, thanks, got that!
ok i did a search and got the lobster claw words
is that somehow etymologically related to ch5tion therapy?
nope. that's chemical stuff
but all same letters?!
I don't think its related, but it probably is deep down
DEEP down
mariana trench deep
ok, it is
ok now tell me what the wasp one's stats are
see, i knew that was too many matching letters to be a coincidence
ch5tion is the process of using agents to bind to and remove heavy metals or minerals from the body.and derived from the latin for claw
ch7/44
go up
good lord there are 9000 species of wasps in the UK alone
really?!
according to buglife.org.uk, yes
aHA got it
:D
its a nice sounding word!
ok now for this body cavities thing, i can't even remotely think
they should be spelled co---- and co----- :D
ok, i didn't know those words but i think i got them
the US spelling looks hugely weird
i'm not sciency enough
you say body cavity and i think "mouth"
or at best "stigmata"
now you know
but will i remember?
thats a different question
well that was a lot of weird ones for sure
well done. definitely the weirdest lot of words
i still need one more, and one more from the other C, but that's ok
ch7/44?
like the study of organic and inorganic compounds and their interactions? have that
hmmm. ch4/11?
the french one? have that
cl5/16? the rest are fairly ok
well then i guess i am missing fairly ok ones
still it's better than M where i need four from each
oh there's an M!
tequila :D
the M I didn't know is a a child born to Jewish parents whose relationship is forbidden by Jewish law
hmmmm
did you read that horribly depressing article about how genetic testing has now made us aware of how much more incest happens than anyone would have guessed
no, but I'm quite glad I didn't!
i mean, i've summed up the depressing part right there, so
actually reading it isn't MORE depressing than that
I did read an article about an american family who were the most inbred in the world
fun times
do you remember what state they lived in?
west virginia
that was my first guess!!
he Whittakers, who live in the small village of Odd in West Virginia, have a complex history
wonder how distantly they are related to Jodie
Some of the family can only communicate through grunts and barks and often flee when outsiders try to speak to them. They can struggle to remember their parents and other relatives and didn't realise until recent years that their issues were due to inbreeding.
The cycle of inbreeding began with identical twin brothers, Henry and John Whittaker. Their children married each other and had over a dozen children.
oh dear
is WV particularly inbred?
that is the stereotype
i think just because travel in and out of the appalachians was challenging
and it's pretty much entirely appalachians
makes sense!
huh. i just finished the 7s, but only have one of the two 8s
I've been watching youtube about sovereign citizens. you lot over there are all mad
so8
i saw a funny video yesterday about how fans of raw milk have basically reinvented pasteurization because there was an outbreak of illness from raw milk drinking and they were like "well what if we boiled it just enough to kill bacteria but not enough to destroy the nutrients"
ohd ear
the girl telling about it was like "they stupided so hard they accidentally smarted"
so then she was like, we just need to make a video about the New Thing of "viral microdosing" and make it seem like it is coming from within the anti-vax community
the world has really gone mad
do you have the bottom E?
I have all the words
el6
oh good all the words
ty
so this so8, weird or normal?
2 v normal words that do not go together in any normal way
ha, got it! ty again
v odd word!
guess this is an odd grid
any more clues before I shoot off and make dinner
no, i'm going to go for a walk soon anyway
have a nice dinner :)
have a nice walk!
lol, thanks for that so8 clue. managed to get it.
ooh, found the 9
greetings my buds
howdy gwen
I found the sauce
if I could find the 2nd row i I'd be happy
celadom -- argh -- lol
phantom chimerism
well duh on the other z
If you have one, the other follows along

Hi all. Back to get more. Any clues for the second row i welcome. Ty.
Got. One of the is words. To ty anyway
is7 ends with an L4
Ty

I'm missing the first ch7... any help on that?
Got it. Ty nrkii
I have ch 7 as a fabric also was a type of dress back in the sixties.
that's the second one
TY mkg, got it
The first one ends in apple drink
hmm, can only think of chiffon
style of drress, carrla
Sorry, the first three of apple drink
type of garment worn under the dress, ch7
thanks molly, found it
only thing I lknow from the 60s is a poodle skirt
Yeah, that other ch7 is lingerie to me
Hokie, if you know Spanish, the word for shirt is similar
still missing the borrow row E word. All help welcome.
under dress I can only think of crinoline. I am slow today.
mkg, end it similar to that is7... almost
well, I remember there is a word for shirt and t-shirt that both start with c. oh, just thought of a lingerie type ch word.
the ch word that is stumping folks is ch7/40, if that helps
ch7 = first four of the science of elements, last three rhymes with frozen water
got the 7/40.
woot
Please some help with the e word bottom row e. Ty,.
el 6/21
e word has mother l*** in middle (as in a gold strike)
got the EL6, tanx
so, the other ch7 ends in part of apple drink. I get that. not working to it though. how many points? obviously from the lower C.
holy cow nbt at last
I love when I put my monkeys to work for minutes and minutes on a word that turns out to be a past tense of a 4 I already have
been there
7/44
got it. couldn't look back.
There are 2 ch7.44.
an d that gave me an a5
yes, we've been chatting about that first one
ugh, thanks bea
did I find the first or second then?
so confused
If you have the undergarment, that's the 2nd.
but that's 7/40, bea says there are 2 7/44
still don't have the "apple" ch7
the second ch 7/44 is one letter different on the ch7/40 undergarment
the first one runs up the left side
gwen, I could be wrong but it looks like it could relate to what we used to write on blackboards
OMG there is it, tx hokie
needs food, 74 to go, bye for now
There are 2- 7/44's. They aren't related at all.
so the 2nd one is from the upper C?
yes
Yes.
it's a belief in undershirts
ah, thanks
well that C is done thank goodness
I swear I typed in that re8 6 times and it didn't work
is it a do over?
nope
No. It's a sauce
well that just ruined my joke about you doing it over
Ok all still stuck on the bottom row E word. All help welcome please.
variation on a french sauce word
got it, thx
e + mother L*** + vowel
I did see bea mention a sauce but thought she was talking about another word, which isn't actually a sauce
8-10-13-4 ugh, always the 6s
I feel like it needs a u in there somewhere
Yes, the French word has a U in the middle
down to 2 SI6 and ZE6
ze6 just jumped out at me
Like a ze6
you obvi missed me talking about the z6
I need the si 6 too nrkii
nrkii ty for el. Weirde word. Never saw that one before.
It pops up here once in a while but I always forget it myself
Anyone able to help Champ and I with that SI6?
it's a hot dry wind in asia...
um, the part that comes after si is a palindrome
got it, thank you
Mr. Google helped with that ...thank you!
consider switching from google to ecosia :D
No, don't
what, do you work for google or something?
Nice idea, the planting trees and all that but it's not as good of a search engine
LOL, I was wondering the same
never heard of ecosia
it is just fine for most everyday purposes. once in a while, i find that it's not giving me what i want and i use google.
we tried bing some but it's terrible at searching
Everyone feel free to try it and see what you think
Bing sucks. So does Edge
anyway i'm glad you said that, because that's the point, feel free to try it and see what you think, that is very different from "no don't even consider it"!
well, I have other things I'd rather do than stare at this so I have 34 left for later. or never.
