Still plodding along, Gapeach :-) How are you doing?
2:28 am

Hanging on, zooz.

I think that is all most of us can do these days. How are your babies doing? Hope they are okay!
2:31 am

Lost the little boy last year. I still cry. Still have the girl. She has me well trained.
2:33 am
zoozzoom
((Gapeach)) Sorry to hear that. Glad you still have the lady with you especially in these hard times. We are still in lockdown here. How are you coping with all this going on?
2:33 am
gapeach
I don't go out at all.
2:34 am
gapeach
we are losing people right and left. It so sad everywhere. Is it bad there?
2:36 am
zoozzoom
I don't blame you. A lot of people here are now using home delivery services for food. I still go out each day as I need to get to parents house. There are over a thousands deaths confirmed for the UK now.
2:38 am
gapeach
OMG, zooz. How are your parents doing? You all are still on my prayer list.
2:41 am
zoozzoom
That is very kind of you, Gapeach and is very much appreciated ⤠Parents are going the best they can we have had a few scare over the last few months but eveything has settled down again now thankgoodness. I still always wonder how you are doing and very pleased to have caught up with you. I also worried about, Ruby but alas she is at peace now and pain free. I am still very sad about her passing.
2:45 am
gapeach
Yes, me too, zooz. She and I became friends and emailed almost every day. She called and we had a good time then. She sent a lot of pictures. I sent her a book....hoping that perhaps reading might help ease the pain. I sure do miss her. She was a hoot!
2:48 am

We started our Summer time zone today and the temperature as gone from 50f to near freezing lol looks like it will be a cold Spring/Summer haha! That is how optimistic I am about our Summer!

No problem Matty. I think everyone is a little off with all this isolating.
5:13 am

I like that excuse. I'll stick with it. Probably the reason I can't see the lone E in the top row, either :)

Tea's later. Soon, probably. I've been swimming in tea since this crisis! I don't think I've ever drunk so much in my life
5:23 am

I hear you. I drink coffee too but I can't drink too much any more. Also, the coffee makes me more nervous. But I need coffee first thing in the morning.

The ne9 is a very weird compound. Closebeach?
6:13 am

Perfect clue, thank you Molly
6:14 am

The gr8 is those who have a goofy smile, plural
6:15 am
mattygroves
Should have seen that one. Thanks again!
6:16 am
MollyL
I don't see the singular often, so that word is not in my set of "common words". But then most Babble words aren't.

ci8...a mycotoxin which is often found in food. It is a secondary metabolite produced by fungi that contaminate long-stored food and it causes different toxic effects, like nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic and cytotoxic effects. RIGHT.

No, Bea's clue is correct. Ends in not out

Having delivered a roast dinner to a friend who is self isolating and bought some essentials (including 3 bottles of wine), I'm now back to see if I can make a dent in the 86 left that I have. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Otherwise there would be a whole load of people absolutely buggered. Some have to completely shelter for 12 weeks (the most vulnerable) - they're not even supposed to go out for food
9:35 am
cybernan
same as here then, matty
9:36 am
mattygroves
I have an order of beer coming from these people: https://ahoppyplace.co.uk/ Booze places are, I kid you not, a key service
9:36 am
montreal13
probably SHOULD be the same most places...
9:36 am

I think the biggest danger is people (especiallly the young ones) getting tired of sitting at home and going out anyway.

A friend of mine in TX said her neighbors had a huge party yesterday.
9:37 am

mattygroves
Yeah, when I was running that errand, I saw some feral youths flouting the rules
9:37 am
BzznBea
And they were middle aged people...
9:38 am

that would have resulted in a $10k fine here, bea
9:38 am

Different states have different rules about isolation, don't they? Indeed, different counties and all
9:38 am
JaxH66
I'm sheltering (shielding) for at least 12 weeks with my hubby as he's considered extremely vulnerable. We're not supposed to step out of the confines of our house and garden for at least 12 weeks, no one is supposed to enter the house and if I wasn't shielding with him, I'm not supposed to be within 2m of him, sleep in the same bed otr eat in the same room.
9:39 am

I think most states in the US are locking down tonight at 5pm

9:40 am
cybernan
well, that is the definition of quarantine, jax, isn't it?
9:40 am
BzznBea
Do the grocers deliver for you, Jax?
9:41 am
mattygroves
Yeah, but they're not calling it that. A lot of the advice say, if you can, to get friends and family to deliver to shielded people but apparently they're preparing food parcels for the most vulnerable
9:42 am
JaxH66
No, our daughters are at the moment, but the younger one is about to start work as a junior doctor as she is just coming to the end of medical school. The other daughter has moved out to live with her to protect my husband and to be able to help us out.
9:43 am
JaxH66
Yes we are in quarantine, but not to prevent us spreading anything, but to prevent us catching anything, so the other way round to normal

London Bridge is at Lake Havasu, AZ
1:49 pm
hokie carla
but which one of them is falling down?
1:49 pm
cybernan
yes - my mistake - just looked it up
1:50 pm
cybernan
city of london sold london bridge to a group of entreprneurs in Havasu -- they thought they were getting tower bridge
1:51 pm
cybernan
london bridge was falling down -- the nursery rhyme originated in the 17th C. i think
1:51 pm
hokie carla
I've got some ocean front property in arizona
1:51 pm
M3
londong bridge and falling down has something to do with bodies being burrie d underneanth , I think its folk lore
1:51 pm
hokie carla
if you buy that I'll throw the golden gate in free
1:51 pm
M3
The orgianl bridge was sold to USA
1:52 pm
M3
cyber i didnt know that fact hehe
1:53 pm
MollyL
Londong bridge...so many ways to go with that...I'll pass though : D
1:54 pm
java2
Here's one theory: "Actually, London Bridge has fallen down loads of times. The nursery rhyme might refer to the time the Viking leader Olaf Haraldsson pulled it down in 1014, inspiring a thirteenth-century Old Norse poem that translated as ‘London Bridge is broken down’.
Then again, London Bridge kept partially falling down for centuries after the Romans left Britain in the fifth century. It crumbled in 1281 (due to ice damage), 1309, 1425 and 1437, and then there was a devastating fire in the seventeenth century.
But despite its Jenga-like tendencies, the medieval London Bridge (including houses and shops) did last for 600 years, until it was demolished in 1831. And Roy Stephenson, head of archaeological collections at the Museum of London, has another positive take: despite replacements and repairs, ‘there’s been a bridge in pretty much the same place in London for nearly 2,000 years. Now that’s awesome.’"

I just remembered that once when Lickety was able to provide his list another Babbler made up a page that generated lists too. You can change the letters in the grid to create your own grid and it will change the list to show the words that can be made with the new letters. So if anyone wants to create their own grid since we all have so much time on our hands here's the link: https://dfmchfhf.github.io/babbleclues\n/babbleclues.html#
