1:33 am

aebmusica

tyvm lynx.....I tried everything for 25 minutes.......obviously I know no Japanese.

1:35 am

lynxxx

I had to use Morewords to get it - worked out which letters but couldn't make a sensible word out of them

1:36 am

lynxxx

not saying that Japanese isn't sensible!

1:37 am

aebmusica

I did also......sometimes I figure out the numerical letters and then try to put them into a logical sequence.

6:10 am

Trifioso

hello friends

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Hi Trif! I have been lurking for 15 minutes.

6:10 am

Trifioso

hi sccrabbler!

6:10 am

Trifioso

sorry - still waking up

6:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Trif and Scrabbler.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Me too. I should be fully conscious by 11. I work from 8-12 then I am going to pick blueberries!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Haz and pup.

6:11 am

Trifioso

i have totally overscheduled myself for the weekend ahead, oh dear. happy things, but waaaay too many

6:12 am

Haz1558

Pup is out, I am home alone. But never alone when there's a babble grid.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I have Sunday for myself. On Saturdays I sell my art at the local farmers' market.

6:12 am

Trifioso

i have two large blueberry trees in my yard, and let me tell you, they are working overtime this year! you are sure to have a good haul today. I suspect it was all the spring rain

6:12 am

Trifioso

well put, haz!

6:13 am

Scrabbler

A big grid helps. Those 2 small ones recently were disappointing.

6:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, bigger grids give me more joy.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

This blueberry farm that I go to has 40 acres of bushes. I typically pick 12 lbs in an hour.

6:13 am

Trifioso

i dont like tiny grids on sundays. booooo

6:14 am

Trifioso

my goodness scrabbler! and then.....freeze? jam? baked goods?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Booooo.

6:14 am

Haz1558

What good things have you lined up for the weekend, Trif?

6:16 am

Trifioso

last night I was given free tickets to a delightful production of Anything Goes, a long time favorite, because I massively redid one of the costumes for them. Tonight is Hello Dolly, in Boston, with Betty Buckley, tomorrow night is my favorite band EVER, The Waifs, and then sunday we move Tertiare into her first off=campus apartment in Nww Hanpshire.Whew!

6:16 am

Trifioso

have a student or two to tutor in between....

6:16 am

Scrabbler

So busy!

6:16 am

Haz1558

You'll need a spell in a darkened room after that!

6:17 am

Trifioso

again, all happy things, but they all happened to hit this weekend

6:17 am

Scrabbler

And when does school begin, Trif?

6:17 am

Trifioso

im thrilled to be seeing Betty Buckley, she is ROYALTY

6:18 am

Trifioso

August 29, scrabbler.

6:18 am

Haz1558

At least you can just go and enjoy the productions and not have to worry about making the costumes.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Local schools start around Sept 3-5--variable in the different school districts.

6:19 am

Haz1558

Are you going to be in the same school as last year?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I was going to ask the same question.

6:20 am

Trifioso

true fact, haz. I'm not going to lie, the Anything Goes piece was a real challenge. The director had found a vintage dress she absolutely LOVED for the Reno Sweeney character, but it was a size six, and the woman playing Reno....wasn't. No judgement, she was fantastic in the role, but....you just cannot put 50 pounds of potatoes in a ten pound bag.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

6:20 am

Haz1558

No, not even 50 pounds of salad potatoes will fill into a ten pound bag.

6:20 am

Haz1558

Baking potatoes even less chance.

6:20 am

Trifioso

yes, as it stands now I am going back to the same school. had some great interviews over the summer, but nothing took. sigh. so I will do my best, as I always do and keep plugging away until I have my own classroom.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Trif.

6:21 am

Haz1558

It's all you can do. Keep the head down and keep going.

6:22 am

Trifioso

how far we have all come, eh, scrabbler? When I first started babbling I was still married to mr hate, didn't have a master's degree, and you were working for Richard Head!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Progress! We hike on and wait for opportunities. I had a Richard Head nightmare recently. Twelve years of abuse cannot be erased.

6:23 am

Haz1558

It's 14 years since I started babble. That's a lot of words.

6:23 am

Trifioso

11 for me....wowza

6:23 am

Scrabbler

13 for me, as of this month. So many friends. An expanding vocabulary. Much fun.

6:24 am

Haz1558

In that time I've had one daughter married, had one go off to London, lost one dog, gained another and retained the same husband throughout.

6:24 am

Haz1558

37 years. I think he's for staying.

6:24 am

Trifioso

personal best, haz! lol

6:25 am

Trifioso

that is an absolute blessing, haz

6:25 am

Haz1558

It just doesn't seem that long. I can't believe it but am profoundly grateful.

6:27 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, what of the bunnies?

6:27 am

Trifioso

oh hey - no s in this grid. took me long enough to notice

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I am slowing down after finding 82. Time to get ready for work.

6:28 am

Trifioso

nah, blow it off, scrabbler, and hang with us

6:29 am

Haz1558

She's too sensible, Trif.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I have a full schedule of urgent school physical exams for the parents that finally realized school is starting soon.

6:30 am

Trifioso

whenever my mother took a day off, we would tease her so bad - "The cries of the desperately ill go unheeded!"

6:30 am

Haz1558

Starting back to school is clearly a surprise for some.

6:31 am

Haz1558

Are these physical exams mandatory for starting school or just so people can have an excuse not to do certain activities?

6:31 am

Scrabbler

It sure is, Trif, especially when vaccines are required.

6:31 am

Trifioso

my mum was the school doctor in our tiny town for about 25 years. Physical day was always fun - line up those third graders, and eighth graders, and file them on through....of course, that was back in the DAY. after HMOs got going, it was way different

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Required for certain grades as are some vaccines.

6:32 am

Haz1558

And done in school or at your office?

6:32 am

Trifioso

at least the parents are GETTING the kids vaccinated

6:33 am

Haz1558

I'm having flashbacks of standing outside the medical room waiting for BCG vaccination.

6:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, husband likes to quote that people aren't anti vaxxers, they are pro plague.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Done in our office. Two years ago we established a vaccine requirement policy and began discharging the anti-vaxxers. It makes life easier for us although we encountered much hostility.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Anti-vaxxers cannot be reasoned with. They firmly believe their decision.

6:35 am

Trifioso

much like trump heads.....sigh

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Tunnel vision, refusal to understand and believe in science and evidence.

6:36 am

Haz1558

I've been reading some articles, most of them point out that vaccination has been almost too successful because people don't remember what it was like to have these awful diseases.

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Yes, vaccines are a victim of their success.

6:36 am

Trifioso

primo says the thing about facts is, you don't have to believe in them for them to be true.

6:36 am

Trifioso

but i feel like even that has gotten lost

6:37 am

Scrabbler

People that don't understand science fear it and don't believe in it.

6:37 am

Trifioso

yup. but the scientific facts remain true in spite of them

6:37 am

Haz1558

I think it was an English doctor who began the whole vaccine causing autism, he has since been struck off but that news doesn't seem to have filtered through.

6:37 am

Haz1558

Either that or they will think it's the deep state trying to silence him.

6:38 am

Trifioso

im quite upset over the rollbacks for endangered species. what a garbage thing to do

6:38 am

Scrabbler

There is SO much misinformation on the internet and people spread conspiracy theories, e.g. the government is causing the autism epidemic.

6:39 am

Haz1558

The internet is brilliant, but it does spread so much rubbish, you're right.

6:39 am

Scrabbler

People believe what they want to believe...and children are placed at risk.

6:39 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, have you seen a doc called "Three identical strangers?" it is quite a thing

6:39 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must get ready for work. Casual Friday so I can wears jeans.

6:39 am

Haz1558

The bigger the conspiracy, the less I believe it. People just can't keep secrets the way conspiracy theorists think they can.

6:40 am

Scrabbler

I will Google that, Trif.

6:40 am

Trifioso

it is completely worth it. have a good day!

6:40 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, Scrabbler, jeans and all. May the children take their vaccines with smiles and grateful thanks.

6:44 am

Trifioso

haz, do you have the u word? a count would be more welcome, if so

6:44 am

Trifioso

oops, never mind - why does asking for a clue always work???

6:48 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Trif, was looking away for a minute.

6:49 am

Haz1558

I don't know, but it certainly works for pe4/5.

6:57 am

dan2bit

mostly because your mind has been working on it long enough before you ask that asking puts you in the right frame to find it

6:58 am

Haz1558

Or do you relax and let go of the anxiety of finding it?

7:11 am

Haz1558

I must be off. Enjoy the grid, enough normal words to keep you sane and a few interesting ones to keep you working. Bye for now!

9:12 am

dan2bit

good morning all! So I started this week with no job, about to get my last severance check from my prior job, and today I have 2 offers to choose between! Feeling blessed

9:13 am

Aloyisius

yay, happy for you dan! Hope they are offers to your liking.

9:15 am

dan2bit

they could always be better financially, of course, but they are both solid jobs at good companies, and similar enough that I need to sit with the decision at least for the weekend

9:16 am

dan2bit

but so much of the stress of the Summer has dissipated!

9:17 am

Aloyisius

a big decision -

9:23 am
