i saw the word in the grid and thought it was strange that it comes up now - dont think it has been in the grid before - so so sad - here in the Cape it is the tortoises that get burned

My heart breaks for Australia. I'm in Calif, and we've had more than our fair share of disastrous fires, but nothing can compare to what is happening in Australia. It's so sad. Canada just sent a large brigade of their best firefighters over to help, and I don't know how many of our US firefighters are over there now.
12:47 am
dizgrannie
Kam, the Canadians, Americans and New Zealanders have been rotating since before Christmas. Thank you guys and gals.
12:50 am
Kamanjah
Diz, the world wants to help...and we feel so helpless against such a monster. Are you safe? I worry about all of the folks here ... and all of your citizens. Everyone wants to help, but it's hard for us here in the US to find trustworthy sites for donations. If you feel like posting a link or two, I'll spread it around to my friends who are trying to make koala mittens and joey bags. We really don't know what it needed.

i think monetary donations made through reputable government sites will help the most. we have lots of 'stuff'. it is the cost of fuel to transport it which is inhibiting the efforts.
12:55 am
Kamanjah
I saw your post on FB - I know reputable US gov't sites, but there are so many dot au sites that I don't know anything about...
12:55 am
Lizlin
Hi all. Just read an article on ABC news saying that all the donations are a 2nd disaster! They can't distribute. They definitely prefer financial donations.
12:56 am
grannyrose
and some please sit on the i-told-you-so's. now is not the time for political scoring.
12:58 am
Kamanjah
That's why I'm trying to direct my friends to a donation site that doesn't take all the money for itself...I have a friend organizing people to make things that I've read are not needed. We just want to help. We volunteer with wildlife rescues in our areas, and needs differ from week to week.
Liz, did you mean all the handmade items?
12:58 am
Lizlin
Red Cross is a fairly good bet, I'd've thought.
12:59 am
Lizlin
No - they don't need any material donations. They really would prefer financial donations.
12:59 am
Lizlin
Got to go. BBL

From the ABC news websiteUnsolicited donations spark 'second disaster' in bushfire-ravaged towns
Fire-ravaged communities are drowning under a deluge of unsolicited donations of toys, clothes and furniture from well-meaning but misguided people, sparking a "second disaster" according to the NSW Government.
1:38 am
rbud
I just read where some are donating to veterinarians in Australia to help with the costs of treating injured animals. Might be one approach for the animal lovers.
1:43 am
Kamanjah
That sounds like a good idea, rbud, but what about the people? I know the Red Cross didn't do much for the folks here after Paradise burned down. We had so many people leave Calaveras county because they couldn't even get a FEMA trailer after the Butte fire. I know Aus doesn't have FEMA, but I hope they have something similar that actually works better than what the US has! I also read that hospitals were taking in animals. That's pretty awesome, if true. It's so hard to sort thru the news these days.
1:54 am

This CNBC article has many links and lots of info to help. Best info I've found today.

i have to share with you all. i just stood up and looked out of my hospital window. i can see green trees, i can seethe sun sparkling on buildings on the other side of our beautiful Port Philip Bay. my heart leaps with joy. my land is still here. my country is still here. yes there are many people devastated, lives lost, human, animal, and plant but Australia (at least my little part of it ) is still there...here....i am weeping with such joy ....and sorrow...

8:20 am
72 Temple Owl
yep.
8:21 am
NatashaW
co6 is a medical term, nothing to do with price
8:21 am
hokie carla
this one is going pretty well for me today, though just as I was thinking nbt was easy, I can't find the a in last column. otherwise, down to 57 left, 5 grayed out already.
8:23 am
hokie carla
thanks, natasha. when I clicked on the ? link to dictionary.com to see if it did have a legit meaning, it took me to the verb for price. and it does show that as a past tense, which I still say is wrong.
8:23 am
72 Temple Owl
they go well. until you come back and beat your head against the desk, trying to come up with words when you have already input them earlier. refreshing does not seem to prefent this.
8:23 am
NatashaW
thought you meant the adj
8:24 am
NatashaW
like you, I think the pt of the verb is still only 4 letters... but English is a fluid language with a lot of history. Whenever I read Shakespeare or Chaucer I am reminded of just how much "rules" change over time.
8:24 am

yeah, 72TO, I haven't been able to figure out why it happens on mine and how to prevent. what browser are you using?

i feel these fires are more tragic for the koalas and other animals there which are on the endangered list and i feel so bad. of course i feel awful about all the global warming stuff and well, it is all so sad. we of the western world have done so much harm to our environment............ugh.

clue for bottom A?

Don't hate me because I say/type this, please. The Earth's cycles occur 'scheduled' of rotation on our planets axis (yeah, I'm opening myself up to $hitstorm scorn and that's fine) and it will continue to repeat itself until this sphere is gone into oblivion (millennia in the future). We just happen to be in this portion of the 'joy' and if the cycle remains, our great grands will deal with the initiation of the other/cold end of the spectrum... yes, I said it... there will be another ice age but not within our lifetimes... No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist (well, at least in case of weather, lol) but I def have researched past millennium that have been 'looked into'..., yes, people believe what is easiest for them to see in the scope of their own lifetime but our planet is not going to $hit because the 'Powers that BE' have made choices beyond our control for only the last 40 years. This said, I'll never mention again, I know I'm in the minority here but still love the company and the game. … Debunk and trash mem at will.

as to your assertion, certainly there will be natural fluctuations of climate, and there will be more ice ages and such. But if we would like to be here as a species to witness this, we need to address the current human-caused changes which have caused so many unusual occurrences and shifts which are too rapid for other species to adapt
10:12 pm
hurshy
and may become too rapid for US to adapt well... resulting in the deaths of millions or even billions
