11:58 am

good morning :)

*pen

12:03 pm

I'm now obsessed with your osprey nest, pen. one is there now, first one I've seen today.

12:04 pm

oh, it just flew off after making some calls

12:04 pm

it is addictive, though they aren't there as much now...interesting to see them fight over food or try to sneak closer and closer to steal food away from another....

12:05 pm

osprey alert other osprey about nearby schools of fish...but if they catch a fish not normally in a school, they don't alert the others...

12:07 pm

anyone found a 9 10 or ll?

12:07 pm

no...apparently they were clued around 9 this morning...

12:08 pm

yes, I have them but probably easier to read the chat

12:10 pm

the GA 9 is also a river in Missouri. The GA 10 / 11 / 10 build off of it. If that helps.

12:10 pm

thanks...

12:11 pm

interesting. did not know that.

12:14 pm

ty Johan for the 9/10/11

12:14 pm

found them with ru's clue....

12:14 pm

12:16 pm

that was easy - the french clue helped m

12:16 pm

oh....got the ga 9/10/10....is the ga 11 also built off that root?

12:16 pm

yes -- ones who

12:16 pm

oh duh...got the 11...didn't have the pl of the one who....

12:17 pm

not words I'd ever heard of before, however

12:17 pm

me either..

12:17 pm

it's funny because the disney guy I was talking about that is one letter off is an extravagant boaster

12:18 pm

figured the ga 6 would be a proper noun, thinking it is somebody from ga6y

12:19 pm

yes...same here....

12:23 pm

I feel like I've been through this grid so many times and am not making any headway - still have 107 left

12:23 pm

12:54 pm

yes - I have 2 ad 5's

12:54 pm

ty...

12:55 pm

hurshy, the top A I grayed myself on first pass, so all regular or regular babblets

12:55 pm

I'm still looking for the ha 5 that ends in a vowel

12:55 pm

I'm still looking for a 6th A on 3rd row

12:55 pm

it sounds like if you shortened a word for a good looking man, nan

12:55 pm

did you see my hint, nan? for the ha5

12:56 pm

hi everyone (nan, think of gretel's companion)

12:56 pm

hokie what about as4/5

12:56 pm

stit's right after the word for putting up a painting...

12:56 pm

welki!

12:56 pm

oh of course - the parliamentary record

12:57 pm

have one hurshy that looks like a computer c4

12:57 pm

without a letter

12:57 pm

yeah

12:58 pm

I have that plus ae4,5,4,7

12:58 pm

and ag4/7 ?

12:58 pm

just need one more h from the top now:

12:58 pm

aha, thanks

12:58 pm

anyone doing well on G and can tell me the second letter breakdown?

12:58 pm

check your comparatives and plurals, nan...

12:59 pm

I have G gray

12:59 pm

me, too, after those long GA words...

12:59 pm

ga x9 , gh x1, gn x2

12:59 pm

oh there are long GA words? ok will look

12:59 pm

was missing a singular

1:00 pm

ga 6/9/10/11/10....

1:00 pm

well that is what i need, that whole set

1:00 pm

want a clue?...

1:00 pm

ga 6, 9, 10, 11, 10 -- all related

there are clues around 9am or someone might be nice enough to give them

1:01 pm

yes, if weird. all i can think is gadolinium

they spring from a 6

1:01 pm

ga words....fuel + convicted person + fruity drink....that is for the 9...

1:01 pm

french word or waiter (change 3rd letter) + ending for a lemon drink

1:02 pm

take out the drink for the 6...

1:02 pm

ty, got them all, 2nd row grey!

1:05 pm

no, 2 un. the other took me forever but is a regular word

us5

1:06 pm

thanks hokie

ty carla

2-5-8-6 D3 N E S5 S4 R2 C5

1:10 pm

first and last columns black

1:11 pm

are there odd O words?....

1:12 pm

still missing two...

1:12 pm

i'm just missing one lower O

1:12 pm

oi5 and oc5 babblets are the oddest i have so far i guess

1:12 pm

missing a slug of d

1:13 pm

missing a big bunch of d's

the o's are regular or regular babblets

1:13 pm

the OC??

1:14 pm

i am missing one O from the fourth row...is that an oC 5?

nan, there's a regular di8 and a not so regular di7/8 that looks like a regular di8 without a cons.

1:15 pm

yes

1:15 pm

oh yes, ty....

1:15 pm

have the di 7-8

1:15 pm

huh. i have the not so regular ones but i don't have the regular one

1:15 pm

oh!

1:15 pm

i got it

1:16 pm

good word for House fans

1:16 pm

don't watch house

don't need to, just know he's a doctor

1:16 pm

got it though

1:16 pm

Dr. House...

I didn't either

1:17 pm

wonder why there isn't a one who for that one?

1:17 pm

and don't say it doesn't make sense -- most of the others don't either

1:18 pm

di*****tician

1:18 pm

is the word usually employed for that purpose

1:18 pm

guess doctors just like to be fancy

1:20 pm

need a break then coming back to list

1:20 pm

i need a break, too....bye all...

easy peasy finish with the list

4:15 pm

am back

4:17 pm

Finished.

4:23 pm

1-6-6-5

4:24 pm

no wait

4:24 pm

1-8-6-5 is what i mean

4:25 pm

got the 4

4:26 pm

thought i had put that in already

a big squaredle today

4:41 pm

where is mool. have not seen him here for a while

4:44 pm

us5 please

was thinking today I haven't seen him in a while either

us5 is a regular word. ends in how old you are.

4:57 pm

sheesh, ty carla

4:57 pm

hope he is ok

yes, me too. I even checked his wife's FB store page earlier today. she hasn't posted since Dec. on there.

5:03 pm

Forget moolingwa. Where the hell is Harry Hood?

oh, nan ran him off a while back

I remember him saying "I can't belive I'm reading this" and he never came back.

5:16 pm

Was it politics?

5:17 pm

Well that makes two people who left because of that. Harry and Volleymomdee.

yes, israel/palastine

if I had whatever marilu henner has I could check the chat

5:19 pm

Too bad about Harry. He was one of the few people who was liked a lot here.

5:21 pm

I ran Harry off -- because I said I didn't like Trump's policies?

5:23 pm

or because I think Netanyahu is another land grabbing control freak?

5:23 pm

Seems to me we're all entitled to our opinions

I don't rem. the specifics but harry is jewish and it was against them. yes, you are. he is entitled to leave when he reads them.

5:31 pm

sorry if he left because of me. my experience living in a Jewish neighbourhood was not positive and makes it very hard for me to be sympathetic with any agressive or exclusionist behaviour on their part.

5:31 pm

Wow

hi, may I get help with the last do6/21?

5:32 pm

don't see why you would be surpised with that molly.

5:33 pm

don't have it but looking

5:33 pm

Why judge an entire ethnic group by one experience you had?

it's a plural, sug

ty hokei

hokie

5:34 pm

5 years of being made to feel unwelcome, molly

5:35 pm

and not by just one person

5:35 pm

and 5 years of having my young children ignored and abandoned when others came along

5:37 pm

ty carla

5:45 pm

Plenty of Jews (and even Israelis) oppose Netanyahu's policies, partly because he seems more interested in grabbing territory and killing Palestinians than he is in actually rescuing any remaining hostages, and partly because what he is doing is simply disproportionate and inhuman.

5:49 pm

Even a former Israeli prime minister (Olmert) has said that Israeli is committing war crimes

5:50 pm

crona

5:50 pm

sorry

5:51 pm

yes - there are a few such world leaders that should be locked up in a room together and allowed to brag to each other for the rest of their lives.

5:51 pm

Personally, I think if we had zero political discussion on this chog, ultimately nobody would really miss it and we might have a better time. Just one person's opinion.

5:53 pm

co 6-7 please? first set

agreed, nellie. we can get that elsewhere.

it's weird, nan. kinda like the pain killer but ending in a vowel instead of a cons

5:54 pm

what I have is to program something + 2 vowels, but I still hav a lot left

that's it

5:54 pm

The problem is that most people get whatever politics they do get from sources that are designed to tell them exactly what they already believe - there'

5:55 pm

well nan's question made me look really hard for it, so thanks, nan

5:55 pm

ty nrkii

5:55 pm

There's no real exchange or discussion anymore, because it's rude to disagree with people

5:55 pm

not just rude, risky

5:56 pm

Well, a society built on misinformation and echo-boxes is risky too

6:00 pm

I agree to the point that no exchanges or discussion narrows one's view with the result that nothing new comes to light. We all tend to look at things with a persective based on our own experience and it never hurts to hear the interpretation of others

6:10 pm

Yes, but we also need safe spaces where we can get the hell away from the vitriol. This is no longer that.

6:11 pm

I'm never swayed by vitriol, no matter the content's validity.

6:11 pm

fw for me

6:11 pm

good luck all

6:11 pm

And I certainly don't come to Babble looking for someone to educate me on how I should think politically. I get that enough from my mixed politics family.

6:12 pm

grats, fist

6:13 pm

I know harry well

6:13 pm

Unusual for you (fish) - judging by your rating

6:13 pm

(the fw, I mean)

6:13 pm

I just started playing

6:13 pm

a lot of free time

6:13 pm

You've been a member since 2018

6:13 pm

yes, never really played

6:14 pm

Well, I'm afraid I don't know harry at all - I don't believe I've ever communicated with him in any way

6:14 pm

he is my father

6:15 pm

Well, then, you would know him. I'm sure both of you are aware that you don't need to look at the chat, if it is upsetting.

6:16 pm

I frequently ignore the chat myself - I find the endless pun exchanges a bit annoying

6:16 pm

Hey Fish, tell your Dad I said hi and that I miss him here. He was a fun member of this community. I'm sorry opinions here ran him off.

6:17 pm

of course

6:17 pm

same here -- nothing I say is meant personally

6:17 pm

I will pass along your well wishes

6:17 pm

ditto

from me too!

6:18 pm

btw leona do6 21 is connected to a do4, a nurse eg. If you are still looking

6:22 pm

Gillie what was your ditto in reference to?

6:26 pm

That nothing I have ever said was meant to be taken personally by Harry

6:27 pm

I mean, Netanyahu may have reason to take offense, but in general my comments aren't meant personally against anyone here

6:29 pm

I am wondering what nrkii meant by "vitriol", but I guess I'll assume that was also not meant to be taken personaly

there has been vitriol here not too long ago

6:31 pm

There is a lot of vitriol here at times.

6:31 pm

Okay - I haven't looked back very far in the chat, although it did seem like cybernan was being awfully negative about Jews in general

like very uncalled for

6:32 pm

probably true, gillie -- it is hard not to be negative about a group that has hurt you so badly

it was against someone who is pro-trump. I don't like him as much as the next guy, but when I say over the top uncalled for, it was.

6:33 pm

Those people you had experiences with hurt you Nan. Not all Jewish people

because she wasn't even talking about trump at that time IIRC

6:33 pm

It sounds like many it was an issue with that particular neighbourhood? It's dangerous to generalize to an entire religion

6:33 pm

Also, you don't have to be negative out loud

6:34 pm

you are correct Molly, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to get over.

6:34 pm

especially in a diverse crowd

6:34 pm

*maybe*, not "many"

6:34 pm

By you, I mean "one"

6:34 pm

not personal

I think it was also like 50 years ago. not saying there is a time limit on getting over stuff, but yeah, the people in here were not in your neighborhood

6:36 pm

And people like Volleymomdee who are Trump supporters have a right to their opinion as well. "I disagree" is just fine.

this was sue I was talking about and I haven't really seen her since that blowup

6:36 pm

Agreed. I live every day in a family of Trump lovers and Trump haters. We choose to be family first.

and I'm drawing a blank on who the unhinged poster was. plus he's kinda scary so I probably wouldn't mention him anyway.

6:37 pm

Probably Knight Time

no, it actually wasn't him

he is pro trump

this guy went off on Sue, who is also

6:38 pm

I grew up in a small western town. until that point I had no experience with other cultures. I was absolutely shocked to find myself and my children ostracised simply because we had a different faith without anyone even bothering to try to get to know us first. If you can't understand how that feels, I just don't know what else to say.

there is a difference in understanding how that feels and holding a 40 year grudge against an entire group of people

6:39 pm

Nan, nobody here would want to diminish your personal experience.

too many words again!!! j/k (hi all)

6:41 pm

hiya gwen

6:41 pm

I'm not holding a grudge, all I'm saying is I have to sympathize with the Palestinians living conditions and the fact that attempts from other countries to provide food and medical supplies are being blocked

6:41 pm

And I'd even say, hold a grudge if you must. But maybe don't bring it to this forum. And again, I don't mean this to be personal to you. I mean no matter how much one has passion for their political opinion or their grudge, they don't HAVE to bring it to what would otherwise be a safe and friendly space for the rest of us. Honestly, I've never even seen you post anything about your experience before now, so I really don't mean to personalize this to you at all.

6:44 pm

need to get supper going - bbl

nbt woot

6:49 pm

The C is kicking my butt

6:49 pm

Discussions about politics are fine if people state their opinions, give the reasons for those opinions and don't sling negativity at the other side of those opinions.

6:49 pm

"You can support Gaza without supporting Hamas; criticise Israel without being anti-Semitic; grieve for Iran without endorsing extremism; feel for innocent Israelis without backing the Israeli state. Empathy isn't allegiance, it's humanity. These positions aren't binary or mutually exclusive. You can hold complexity, conscience, and compassion all at once." -Nicky Barber

6:50 pm

we need a like button in the chog :)

6:51 pm

I'm glad there is no like button. That is one of the things about Facebook I don't care for.

6:51 pm

Heh, I can see that

6:52 pm

nrkii: exactly when did you become arbiter here of what is and is not proper to speak about???

just butting in to say i'm not gonna butt in ; - )

6:52 pm

It doesn't take that long to type "I agree"

6:53 pm

excuse me, gingentle, what the hell is that tone for

6:53 pm

Nrkii was stating an opinion, not being an arbiter

6:54 pm

If we're welcome to express opinions, why CAN'T I express an opinion that the chat would be more fun and more welcoming to all if it wasn't full of politics and such

6:54 pm

why am I not at all surprised that Molly has jumped in to mitigate his behaviour.

6:54 pm

People are gonna do what they wanna do, but I can say what the hell I'm thinking too. I've been on Babble since 2006, and it used to be a LOT MORE FUN

6:56 pm

Nrkii, did you switch teams? : D

6:56 pm

with your attitude, and Molly constantly stirring the pot, it is little wonder that many folk leave here.

6:57 pm

I came into a conversation where we were saying how it was too bad someone wasn't on Babble anymore because they didn't feel welcome. So I was saying that maybe if we didn't talk politics, this wouldn't happen.

6:57 pm

Gingentle, I don't know you, I haven't seen you here before, and so I'm just going to take a breath and assume you mean well. So do I.

6:58 pm

I have been here for many years and do not interact often exactly because of attitudes like yours and

6:59 pm

I have been here for years but I do not interact often due to attitudes such as yours and egregious behaviour coming from Molly.

6:59 pm

LOL. I challenge you to find ONE PERSON who has left Babble because of me. ROFL.

7:00 pm

whatever

7:00 pm

I find you abrasive and obnoxious.

7:00 pm

exactly... I tried to be nice just now, and you were having none of it, so I'm not losing a second of sleep over you

7:00 pm

*stepped in, looked around, backing out now* laters, dearies.

7:02 pm

Sorry rbud. Nobody needs this.

7:22 pm

Egads. I have to say that regardless of my own strong opinions, this is not the place for them. But there's nothing wrong with ignoring and scrolling on by--in other words, unless someone is being attacked or that's how I perceive it, I couldn't be bothered . That said, thank you, Hurshy. You can detest the Israeli government policies all you want. But that is not Judaism and to conflate the two and say you don't like Jews, that's anti-semitism. If an experience in a neighborhood that is insular is awful, I get that. But that's a neighborhood. I had Catholic kids throw stones at me and call me a Jesus killer when I was walking to synagogue as a kid, and I can assure you, I do not hate Catholics. And I know I am going to get dirty looks in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood--or fundamentalist Muslim or Christian--and I just walk on by. Have your opinions, say "I disagree," yell at each other all you want. But if you hate Jews (or Black people or gay people or disabled people or...or...or.... )keep that to yourself.

7:23 pm

Thank you, Pam. Love you! :)

7:24 pm

Back at you, nrkii!

HOET and 74 to go. Shall I start a new topic? I love cats. There LOL

7:31 pm

I hate cats. LOL

OH NO LOL

7:32 pm

I don't. I'm just allergic. They amuse me a lot but I can't have one.

7:32 pm

I appreciate cat attitude.

I liked my neighbors' cats okay when I was cat sitting as a teen but I'm a dog person.

and sorry about earlier but I remembered something

and I don't know of anyone that dislikes you :D

7:34 pm

I did cat sitting for my neighbor but I literally could not touch the cat, so when it got out I had to chase it and hiss at it to get it back inside. Next time I tried that trick, it HISSED back. I've never been so scared.

dogs rule

or has left because of you

dang right, IG

7:34 pm

Thanks, hokie. I'm kind of laughing.

love kitties, but dogs rule

7:35 pm

It had to happen sometime.

7:35 pm

I love my dog, but my goodness he's a lot of work. He keeps changing the rules in my house.

hey i never said anything about dogs LOL

well, if you recall I said I couldn't remember something and then it became clear to me

7:36 pm

Cats love me. They run up to me, rub against my leg, jump in my lap, snuggle, and don't care at all that I'm allergic. I put up with it as long as I know I can wash my hands before I touch my face. And there's benadryl nearby.

7:37 pm

I love cattitude. And I love dogs. Mostly, I love football.

7:38 pm

I was remembering Pearl the other day, Pam.

cats dont love me

7:38 pm

Thanks, nrkii. I miss her.

there, see, we can disagree without getting snippy about it 8 - D

mr homie doesn't really like cats or babies but they love him. we went to a house with a kitten and the owner set it down and it went and crawled into mr. homies lap and just sat there,

got nothin against them...

7:40 pm

Good steer, Gwen. :)

cats and kittens like to be very warm. They will find the warmest place and sit on it. Sunshine, basket full of clothes just out of the dryer, a person's lap, on top of an electronic gadget if it's warm

(tanx nrkii)

well, folks, i'm too lazy to find 71 more words. cheerio till next time

same for my turtles and lizards

7:43 pm

ciao, gwen!

7:43 pm

bye Gwen!

night, gwen

this grid is endless...

7:47 pm

I'm listing now and realizing that I've been ignoring that SH more than I should (as an ending)

oh thanks i did not register it yer but i need 76

this grid sucks

tell us how you really feel

Im feeling like a song

oh joy...just found my third 7 letter word

7:53 pm

*head desk*

7:56 pm

you okay over there, TO? :)

no. i have generous cousins who sent me home with a cup of fries. of course, i felt compelled to eat them all ":/

they were outstanding, i will say :D

7:58 pm

I'm at my moms and she made ribs. She could only eat 1/3 of the rack, so of course I felt compelled to eat all the rest....

7:58 pm

we do what we must for those we love

it would be rude not to

but darn, fries so good they needed nothing. no ketchup. no sauce. no salt

it's been sort of a crap week. tomorrow i will be trying ro get downtown and back on the rails. wish me luck.

My surname is English and derived from a description of someone who once lived under or near a willow (old word sallow) tree. No wonder I love weeping willow trees so much and still mourn the one a nearby neighbour cut down.

My DNA on the other hand shows that every Viking who ever visited our shores is in it (Norway, Denmark, Sweden), I've got English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish DNA, and Isle of Man, and a bit more. We are all mongrels.
